It's a great interview. Marc is regularly emotional but that combined with Brendan Fraser's vulnerability and the decision to leave in the pauses, sniffles, and shortness of breath, during near emotional breakdowns is a testament to Marc's abilities as a host and podcaster.

He really is so good at what he does. Honestly I’ve never been a huge fan of his stand-up but I love his podcast. Recommend the pay version so you can access over 1000 old shows.

Oh, idk I just saw him perform about a year ago and it was much better than his older stuff

Ah yeah. He was working out his special. Comes out maybe next month? You will probably have heard some of the content

I've avoided his podcast because I don't like his stand up or tv appearances. But you're saying I should give it a go?

Yeah, I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I have tried to get into other interview shows, but some of the ones I have heard sound too scripted. Marc just has a way to get his guests talking, and a lot of the questions he asks are very thoughtful. He also likes to mix it up with guests and I end up learning a bunch about stuff I never knew existed. I say check out the latest show with Fraser, its one of his best more recent shows, but DO NOT listen to the Courtney Love show that is also recent. That one was painful to hear, and not because of anything Marc did.

The Courtney Love one is not good, and I really disliked the Seinfeld interview. Other than that, most of his episodes have been solid.

As someone who used to revere Seinfeld I can't handle him much anymore. He's so smug and just doesn't seem curious. Like his past success leaves him with nothing new to discover about anything.

I fell for the Maron thing back around 2015 super hard. Got 2nd row seats, was super amped. He comes out firing the same shit from that Epic Channel special and Im just full stop bored with him. He’s a good talker but I cant say I fell for his standup side.

If you're a full-grown man and think this, you might want to do some self reflection. If you're just a teenager trying to figure out your way through toxic masculinity, then you have some work to do.
