admin 330 Posted April 27, 2012 We got the real WTF treatment this week. Ronna and Bev got to visit Marc Maron in the cat ranch and turn the tables on the popular podcast host. The ladies came just in the nick of time to help Marc out with his relationship woes. 1 Share this post Link to post
weegee91 1 Posted April 27, 2012 Love this podcast! Marc Maron killed it... one of my favorite episodes so far! Also the museum of Death sounds right up my ally and I live near LA... should check it out! Share this post Link to post
Silvrwoman 4998 Posted April 27, 2012 Can someone please explain to me Marc Maron's comedy? I don't get it - he just seemed like he was being mean. Ronna and Beverly were funny as usual though. Share this post Link to post
Sad Billionaire 22 Posted April 28, 2012 I think the key to getting MM's humor on this episode is to understand that he, like most middle-class US Jewish people, has known a lot of people like R and B (usually relatives who are hectoring, annoying, judgmental, provincial) and is in on R and B's joke that it is the height of insanity to bring such an approach to life to celebrity interviews. He is simply reacting as a normal (if somewhat defensive) person would when bombarded by insults, intrusive questions, non-sequiturs, etc. I personally thought that MM's refusal to "yes, and" produced one of the funniest episodes of any podcast I have ever heard. In some ways, it points out just how "crazy" R and B's other guests are in reacting so calmly and graciously. Maybe the best comparison would be to the different kinds of humor that Borat or Ali G drag out of different kinds of people with whom they interact? 2 Share this post Link to post
