WTF with Marc Maron Podcast

Episode 1609 - Mo Welch

16 Jan 2025

Description

After evacuating her home and consoling family members who lost their house in the LA fires, comedian Mo Welch acknowledges that she’s visiting Marc’s garage while still somewhere on the trauma spectrum. But she’s not a stranger to that spectrum, nor to processing it, having just made a standup special that’s also a documentary about meeting her estranged father. Mo and Marc talk about her childhood instability and the comedy path that was her salvation.

Hi, Backmarket hier. Die mit der erneuerten Technik, die dich weniger kostet. Wie dieser Laptop. Er kann alles, was ein Laptop so können muss. Schreiben, zocken, streamen, surfen, inkognito surfen. Einfach alles, was ein brandneuer Laptop kann. Aber der hier ist deutlich günstiger als neu. Denn er ist nicht neu. Er ist von Profis auf Herz und Nieren geprüft.

final week or so of what is America and into whatever America will become that's a layer of stress at least for me and probably half of the people in the country but I hope you're okay and maybe even being happy I don't know I don't know from all that today on the show I talked to Mo Welch. She's a comic and cartoonist.

Last year she released the special Dad Jokes, which is part stand-up set, part documentary about meeting her estranged father for the first time in 20 years. The special is now on Hulu. She also co-hosts the podcast Sweethearts along with Beth Stelling. We talk a bit about the experience that we're living through, but I do know that out here it's very trying and still quite awful.

Ich habe mit einigen Leuten gesprochen, die wissen, dass sie alles verloren haben. Einige Leute, die alles verloren haben, versuchen, mir helfen zu helfen. Wir werden das weiterhin tun. And I'm grateful. I'm lucky. I'm okay. I'm safe. My house is fine. It's still scary. But I'm okay. And my heart goes out to everybody that has experienced tremendous loss here.

It's just fucking crazy.

Look, I was in New York Ja. Dann ging ich auf meinen Ruf und sah den Schmuck am Ende von Manhattan. Es war ein krisper, klarer Tag. Nichts war irgendwo los. Alles war auf dem Boden. Keine Autos auf der Straße, keine Flugzeuge im Luftraum. Dann ging ich zurück in mein Haus und schlug die TV an und sah den zweiten Tower fallen. Dann ging ich zurück auf den Ruf und ich war so, oh mein Gott. Und...
