Actually, the interview with Steven Pearl was everything I dreaded the Robin Williams interview would be. Pearl just manically and without context (or only the flimsiest of contexts) did schtick, and then they complained about how all music today sucks.
Yeah, I'm with you 100% Pastor Josh. The Williams interview was very good, IMO. I was expecting an audio version of one of his Late Night/Tonight Show appearances. It was a nice change of pace to hear him turned down to a 6.
Honestly, I hadn't heard of Steven Pearl before WTF. I probably won't be seeking his appearances out anytime soon. I kept thinking of the Triumph - Stinky Faye (Horatio Sanz) routine where they talk about how good comedy useta be.
Sidenote: I had a dream with Marc Maron after listening to this Podcast. I dunno why, but I went out to Las Vegas to stay at Marc's house (the Cat Ranch. I know he lives in LA, but in my dream, he was in Vegas). When I got there, Marc and a real-life friend of mine where hanging out in his basement doing
drugs together(!). Then we went to a department store and I couldn't find my way around, and got lost in the make-up department.
