I'm a few weeks behind, but I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the Kevin Pollak interview. I've always found that guy annoying at best - and always loved it when, for instance, the MST3K guys would riff on him (especially if they were riffing on "Willow" at the same time). But his stories were richly entertaining for all sorts of reasons and he actually made me laugh a few times.

Totally worth hearing just for the Rickles/DeNiro stories.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Michael Ian Black takes Marc to task for thinking he's an a-hole and in doing that totally sounds like a real a-hole.
Of all the guys, I am one of them.

I'm not really a fan of the guy, but I'm curious if there's any specific reason you say that beyond his general asshole demeanor

To be fair to MIB, Maron was totally baiting him the whole time. It's hard to not act like an asshole when someone is repeatedly telling you that you act like an asshole.

Those are great. I'd love to hear Maron interview Rickles. I'm not a fan of his comedy, but he's a really interesting and cool guy...

Penn's praise for his mother brought me to tears.

Yeah, because it was very heart felt. I know some people cannot stand Penn Jillette, but he seems to be one of the most sincere people around...

I'll also plug their Vegas show. I've seen it several times. Each time it's quite different and each time it's worth every penny.

I disagree, I thought Marc came across as the asshole, peppering the interview with little insults. He reminded me of my old mother-in-law, couching barbs in language that can't be directly addressed. Slippery and un-fun!

Seems weird that he gets away with insulting his guests (see Nick Thune).

I'm trying to parse "old mother-in-law," MM, and I'm coming up short.  But I'm interested in the phraseology!
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

I loved the Nick Thune episode. Probably my favorite to date.

Jonah Ray's vocal impersonation of his own flatulence in the last live "WTF" has already made 2012 a great year for me.
