I have to say that Marty wasn't the worse guest based a lot on the fact that Keith and Chemda made the episode a great listen. Sure it took almost an hour to try to even get Marty to open up a bit but thats the awesome interview skills of Keith and Chemda.

I think Marty's issue was he didn't realize how 'big' KATG was (didn't know that there were two books etc.. etc..) and how good of an interviewer Keith was, I mean he even compared Keith to Howard Stern, and I don't think it was in a patronizing way. (Most likely the reason he didn't listen to an episode is that he just went into iTunes or wherever and found whatever top listed comedy podcast there was, and just sent some emails around.) By no means am I defending him, I think he's an idiot for not find out what kind of show he is going on, but perhaps an "explanation" into what happened is all.

I'm a big Howard fan, and love listening to Keith because I see those parallels when Keith does interviews being able to ask a question in a way to get a person to answer it even when they don't want to. Marty was non-responsive in any type of questioning but Keith was still able to get something out of him to make it an enjoyable show.

Great episode.
