All right, let's get to the clips.

Come up first today, we have Adam Carolla Show 255 with Mark Maron in studio making his debut appearance on the Adam Carolla Show.

Asterisk podcast format.

Maron first appeared on air with Adam Carolla back in 2006 in May on the Adam Carolla Show.

The same show, but when it was airing on radio, I know it's complicated.

They did 715 episodes.

They were also podcasted.

Very complicated.

He then appeared again in 2007 in November.

At the time, I believe he was doing stuff with Air America, the liberal talk radio format that eventually died down, whose studios he used, I think, without permission, for the initial What the Fuck podcast, the WTF podcast he hosts.

Both Mark Maron's podcast, WTF, which came to an end this year after an impressive 16-year run, and the Joe Rogan experience, which is currently still active, both started after Adam Carolla switched to podcasting.

So his radio show was podcasted.

Never Not Funny was a comedy podcast that's super successful with a very dedicated listener base and fully independent.

It started a few months after Adam Carolla's radio show and after Adam Carolla's radio show podcast.

But it's probably the first independent comedy show, or at least the longest running one.
