Who is Marc Maron and why is he significant in podcasting?
We got Mark Maron. This is a republished, polished-up winner that we had. We wanted to let you guys hear again. This is Mark Maron, one of the OG monster podcasters out there.
And one, I don't know the exact history of it, kind of one of the pioneers, along with Marky, Joey Rogan. Marky. Was new. Marky got out there early. But what's interesting about this one, as you listen to it, is he gets to interview Springsteen, Neil Young. Obama was a very big deal, and we talk all about that.
What notable guests has Marc Maron interviewed on his podcast?
It's a very interesting podcast. Interesting dude.
I think he ended his whole run of his whole podcast with Obama. It's not a bad one to go out with.
yeah that's that's true it was either that or um senator john kennedy was going to be his guess now you were the first podcaster that did i get that right or was it joey rogan i heard a rumor that joe rogan is going to change his last name to joe rogaine and apparently it's a billion dollar contract that would be a good move It's something we would ask Mark Maron about. Yeah. Right now, you're going to get to listen to one of our golden goldies.
Mark Maron. Here he is.
Are you in the same house? You're in the same. You have not moved since you look 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.
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. 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.
How did Marc Maron feel about interviewing Barack Obama?
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.
Comedians don't laugh. They just think of the time. 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.
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 is no offense to him. I was just laughing.
What challenges did Marc face when starting his podcast?
Whoever has to follow Obama is just going to be a tough sledding. That's right.
I don't know if he... I don't know if he thought about it like that. Rich is a good guy. I don't think he gives a shit.
So everyone had a podcast now, like literally. So it's you and Rogan, right? 2009. I guess.
It was really like Carolla was there. Rogan, I don't think started at the same. I think Rogan started a little after us, but like Jimmy Pardo was there. Benson was probably there. Maybe Hardwick was like starting out.
