Oh, and by the way, that’s a bingo

To my ears, the end began late last year, when Maron interviewed the influencer turned podcaster Bobbi Althoff (episode 1,600). It's a great interview, and a deeply insightful look into the world of being a person who holds the attention of others. But it's bleak, and Maron does nothing to hide that. At this point in the podcast, producer McDonald was also getting on the mic regularly for The Friday Show bonus segment, with cohost Kris Lo Presto. Their discussion of the Althoff interview felt like two people unpacking the future and facing the darkness of what they saw.

Well, damn.

It’s one thing to have goals and standards and values in life.

It’s quite another to have a stranger recognize them and say, in many beautiful words, you did it.

This was overwhelming for me to read but I hope you’ll take the time to do so.

I’ll be over there collecting myself.

Wrote about why there will never be another podcast quite like "WTF with Marc Maron."

I heard Marc Maron announce he was ending his podcast the way that I imagine he’d’ve wanted me to—while walking through my neighborhood in Los Angeles, through wired headphones, just a little too hopp...

One of my favorite movies and, I believe, one of the greatest ever made, period.

Thanks to @therochasays.bsky.social & @srmorris.bsky.social for inviting me on The Cine-Files to talk about this masterpiece.

We made it through the first 18 minutes in Part 1.

It was my number 1 all the way up through the very end. But ultimately the cumulative effect of watching all of them back to back made me appreciate his growth as a filmmaker and I enjoy who he is now more than who he once was. It’s definitely a 1, 1a situation for me though.

Posting for the first time here to promote this because it was awesome. (Yeah, it’s for premium subscribers, but that’s why you should subscribe! Because it’s premium!)

Loved talking with @rjcity.bsky.social who I hope one day gets to ask The Rizzler if he likes Peter Falk.

RJ City @rjcity.bsky.social · Nov 22

I'm on WTF's The Friday Show. You have to pay to listen, but I talk Paul Lynde, Paul Reubens, Full Gear, the Muppet Show, Toni Storm, & why Maron must embrace male intimacy via wrestling.
