KATG on Marc Maron's WTF

I will refer you to at least the first 40 to 100 episodes of WTF. It's where his classic "Are we good?" comes from. It didn't matter if it was David Cross or a lesser known comic, he'd totally sabotage the interview. Probably due to seething jealousy of anyone else's success or simply his own insecurity; Maron will totally implode. A classic example of a contrarian. The man is brilliant in his psycho-analysis of others in show business because he himself is a mess. A smart, sober, evolving, articulate, self-aware: mess... Lately, Maron has mellowed a bit and he doesn't immediately bite the heads off his guests.

I'm curious. When you made that drawing of Maron, (which is awesome) did you get back any positive feedback from him? Any feedback at all? It feels like Maron has contempt for everyone, including his fans. The only thing that Mr. Maron appreciates from fans, is like...baked goods. I'm convinced this guy has substituted coke with cookies. Marc Maron really likes cookies. Possibly chocolate chip..

I'm a big fan of WTF and, though he isn't for everyone, Marc Maron. This was like the coming together of podcast titans! Could not stop smiling as I listened to the episode; I just wanted to give you all a big hug.

I'm sincerely hoping you guys get together some time in the future to make more audio magic.

.... I'm not trying to be a dick here, I'm merely pointing out that as a big fan of both, I came to both of their albums via the same place. Online podcasts.
It would have been great to hear Keith and Marc debate the validity of stand ups and their recorded work. How great, (and terrifying) would it be to have Maron listen to Keith's album and those two get together to discuss? Keith and Chemda were in LA, (where Maron lives) but he does go out east to do stand up. It is possible. Their one on one meeting could result in a homocide, though. Keith could really piss of Maron with a well-placed "Well look, Marc, some of us in the comedy communtity try to play by the rules. A recent addition to those rules has been made by Lewis Ck. It is that your are only a REAL and top of the game, bona fide, stand up comedian, if you record an album, of all new material: every year. Now, I have been adhering to this annually. Every year, Mr. Maron, (on my birthday so's I don't forget) I record an album. What do YOU do?"
O to the MG. Shit would go down. Words would be said. Relapses would be relapsing. Fists and even cats: possibly thrown. As a fan of both; I can hardly not, not wait.

Keith and Chemda mentioned they were on 2 Atheist podcasts. I know one was Ardent Atheist, what was the other?

Oh, he retweeted the image, but he said, "thanks, that's flattering?" It brought 600 people to my website in a few hours, though. I dunno, he could have been kidding. I'm a big fan of his so I was happy to do it regardless.

Good, fun episode. Here's hoping it works its magic and brings a ton of curious new listeners to the party and KATG get rich but not rich enough that Keith feels like he can retire.
