Super Agree! But even the Marty episode (although hard to listen to at times thanks to that haunting douche laugh) was very entertaining.

No author has time to research every radio show and podcast and print interviewer before they're interviewed. That'd take longer than writing the fucking book in the first place. I don't need to hear him again but, like Junk said, c'mon ... you drama queens need to calm down. Sure he was a little uncomfortable at moments, but that's not a crime. It's not like the guy point-blank refused to be open, he just took a second to get in the groove.

And the guy was making Keith and Chemda laugh. He did fine.

Tripple Bingo

edit - after listening to the next day's show I retract the above. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt but now I just think he was a douche

Agreed and amen. The awkwardness' definetly hits the listener as some repetitative ...lie? It felt like it rang untrue.

I was going to say I didn't mind him too much, but then I remembered I fast forwarded through about 30 minutes in the middle of the episode. Soooo..... he might be a proper nominee for Worst New Guest.

EDIT: Oh, and I was very sad to hear you guys had to cancel on Tom Shillue! Sad you were feeling poorly, of course, and sad because I love Tom. Hope you can reschedule soon!

It's either a nervous tic, or he's inserting a laugh everytime he thinks he's said something funny or shocking. Which is kind of sad, I guess, because he was wrong everytime.

LOL I gotta agree but Keith and Chemda made it great radio by openly calling him out on it. It was so awkward but it worked for me. I was laughing but at the same time shaking my head.

The content of some of the things he wrote seemed like it would be good fodder for a show but it just never really worked out.

I think that Marty should use this moment to start his own podcast and treat KATG like his arch-nemesis.

Hopefully it would take the feel of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-blog.
