Why is Marc Maron considered a podcast pioneer?
Okay. We've got, uh, Mark Marin, Dana, who I see a lot of the comedy store comedian, obviously a huge podcaster, one of the OG podcasters that had always, you could always hear he's still going with it, but you know, it was all the big names, all the interesting stuff. Um, and I see him do stand up all the time and I run into him a lot. He's a good dude.
And, uh, we talked, we were just curious about like, cause he and Rogan on a few others kind of started in like, Oh nine, Oh eight, Oh nine or podcasting when it was just like a caveman with no audience and who would do that. And then it grew to this behemoth. And I, I, he, he got president Barack Obama on his podcast and to do his podcast, you had to drive way up in the middle of nowhere. And, uh, In the middle of LA. And so that was a big thing. So we do talk about his journey. It wasn't easy all the time. The podcast kind of saved him. And he created... I think he's done 1,600 episodes.
He has a lot of stories. And he's very...
self-winding watch like we didn't have to prompt too much he really had a lot of great things to talk about so yeah i was into it and that blew that that hour blew by so it went by fast he is he knows he knows how to podcast he really told some good stories funny and uh it was it was interesting i i would keep listening yeah so check them out here's mark maron
Yeah. All these glasses. I got other choices. I got better ones.
Are you in the same house? You're in the same... You have not moved.
Since you did it? Because it looks familiar. This is a different house, but the stuff behind me probably looks familiar because all the stuff from that original garage is in this room.
Are you in the same neighborhood? You don't have to tell us your actual address.
Do you want me to just send you a link to a map where everybody can... No, drop me a pic.
Well, I already have a map of your house. That'll be for... It's called After Talk. Anyway, whatever. No, I'm in Glendale. I was in Highland Park. I got it. Yeah. I like that place. The old place? Yeah, I mean, it was casual and cool. You had guitars and cozy.
I still got all that. A little more spread out. Before, that was less than 1,000 square feet, one bathroom. If you had to go to the bathroom, you had to go into the same bathroom that I use.
I live in a very small house. Everything you own owns you back. I'm not into it. You occupy a house. You live in your body. You can't fuck a house. You can't eat it.
I think you can fuck a house. It really just depends on where you enter. I saw a thing on A&E about it.
Convenients don't laugh.
They just think. What about the guy that married his car? You know.
I want to start the podcast this way. Every comedian knows this about you. Where were you, David, when you heard that Marc Maron has Barack Obama on his podcast? Because that was like, what the fuck? Because this was early days of podcasting.
Right.
I remember being blown away by that.
I think most people were still kind of like, what is a podcast exactly? Where do I got to go? Yeah. Totally. It was 2012, right? So it was nowhere. It was 16. Still nowhere. The number of people that used to come to that old house would drive up to my driveway and literally say like, where are we? Is this part of LA? I've never been out here. What are we doing?
Yeah. I can't believe you got him out there because I can't believe you got me out there. I can't believe you got Todd Glass out there. So Obama was a bigger one.
How did Marc Maron land a podcast interview with Barack Obama?
Yeah. Rich Voss was right after Obama. That was tough to get him out. Yeah. It gets hard sometimes.
Was it a ratings drop so much you pulled a muscle?
We just thought it was appropriate to continue what we were doing. We did one episode where me and my producer discussed the day of having Obama on the podcast, and we went right to Rich. And Rich is going to pull what he's going to pull. It's somewhere lower middle. It's okay.
Well, Rich, it's no offense to him. I was just laughing. Whoever has to follow Obama is just going to be a tough sled. That's right.
