I loved this show. I had to re-wind several times so I could really get all of what Marc was saying. I wish he'll become a regular guest. I didn't always agree with him, but he was so articulate and interesting. Especially when he was talking about comedy, that was the best. It did take me almost all morning to get through the show because I had to keep stopping to work or I wouldn't have gotten anything done.
I had a friend in middle school who turned into a neo-nazi in high school, and I remember once he said something negative in passing about Mexicans, and I reminded him that I'm a Mexican. He told me "you're not a Mexican. Mexicans are dirty." I kept telling him, no, I am a Mexican, you've met my dad-it's obvious, I'm quite Mexican etc., and he said something like "no, you're not, don't think that way about yourself" as if I'd said "I'm shitty, there;s no use, I'll always be shitty." It was so odd. The solid fact of reality didn't matter when it jarred with his own racism.
