Title: Are Tom and Maron on the outs?
Post by: Gleepglop on October 16, 2012, 07:42:58 PM

I am a pretty recent listener, having first heard of Tom and Best Show on the WTF Podcast. I think it was the two "Marc and Tom Show" special episodes that pushed me into checking out The Best Show.

Anyway, two shows ago, Tom was making a list of people he didn't like. It was Gary Shandling, Chuck Woolery, and something like "unnamed comic who won't return my calls." And then last week, when Tom was talking about the podcast convention he said something about big egos, then mentioned that Marc Maron would be doing some stand-up at the convention, and immediately said something to the effect of "Did I mention big egos?"

Generally I don't care for celebrity gossip, but I really enjoy those Marc and Tom shows, and am concerned there might not be any more. Anyone got any ideas?

I have no idea what Marc and Tom's relationship is these days, but I'm pretty sure he was referring to someone else when he was talking about his problems with Woolery and Shandling.

Tom was just BUSTIN' BEANS with the big egos thing, I bet. The comic who won't talk to him anymore is definitely someone else and he always mentions WTF in his list of sanctioned podcasts, which I think he just publicly updated 3 shows ago during Urbaniak's call.

I could not be better with Marc. He is a friend.

Tom.

Tom was talking about a podcast called Superego. Not super egos.
