Whatever, but can anyone explain to me why Noah has a Russian accent?  I mean, it sounds as if it's really pronounced.

God works in mysterious ways.

After God smote the Tower of Babel, he made all the peoples of the world speak English with different accents.

Yeah, and it took some people a long time to go to Russia.

Actually when Noah tried to warn people about the consequences of their wickedness, they told him 'if you don't like it, go to Russia'.

As good as the episode proper was, I really enjoyed his discourse on faith in the intro.  I don't agree entirely, but I really appreciate a non-religious person trying to take faith seriously.

It was good, PJ. I'm active in my school secular student's group and one of the things I try to do is keep people's understanding of religious beliefs and people in check. Maron made a good point when was talking about atheists -- I have to agree with him that we can became very nasty, very quickly. I also don't agree with his meditation on that stuff 100%, but he was able to put into words roughly how I feel about these things better than I think I could.

I'm not really familiar with his comedy, but the Mike DeStefano episode is incredible. I spent most of the episode in tears.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Same here, the guy was a total mystery to me. I really liked this episode, also Janeane Garofalo...I have a soft spot for her.

Wow, I guess I'll have to listen to that one. I had been avoiding it because I'm not the biggest fan of his comedy.

According to twitter, Marc and Tom had a nice night at the YLT show. I hope this is a good sign for Tom being on WTF in the future.

I don't think Tom would ever go on that show.

I think it's been in a loop since about page 6.

I think this is the story referred to during the interview on WTF.
Mike DeStefano tells his story

I've been digging through the WTF archives for such a long time. I hope I don't become worn out because of it. I've heard a lot of great episodes and the show has acquired my respect. Unfortunately I feel like the moment I get to the current episode, I may find I've reached a finish line and I just want a mug and a blanket.

I feel that there's just barely a tinge of spirituality to Maron's comedy that I admire.

The Mike D one was the most compelling one yet, and that's saying something.  It's also admirable how Marc chose not to hype the episode by teasing with the subjects addressed.

I thought there was a tenderness in the Janeane Garofalo episode that was touching.
