Who the fuck is commenting on these fucking episodes? Ed Helms...The Hangover Ed Helms and The Office Ed Helms and The Daily Show Ed helms...covers...goddamn motherfucking COVERS a Ralph Stanley, honest-to-goodness-brings-tears-to-your-eyes classic Little Maggie on the fly and beyond holds his own and people aren't satisfied? The episode could have ended there and it would have been a winner. Jesus fuck get grateful people.

Kind of an odd show, as Marc seemed pretty disinterested in Helms, probably because of Helm's lack of 'darkness.' But there was also something else mixed in there - jealousy maybe. Marc, jealous? No! Anyway, Marc's disinterest was really palpable.

Jim, I agree. I kept thinking that he totally went to Westminster.
Wikipedia confirmed: Westminster '92.

Ed Helms seemed pretty guarded about his upbringing in Atlanta. Compared to David Cross, who does a far better job dissecting his suburban Atlanta upbringing. Anyway, it is what it is, and I really enjoyed listening to it. I appreciate Marc's effort to have interesting topical guests.

A future part 2 with more music and away from any cats would be a nice addition! You could call some other comedians/musicians and have whole songs like that one with Grant Lee Buffalo you did a while back.

Awww, Ed Helms! What a very likable guy -- with a banjo bonus! I guess I'm not so cynical as I thought as I was, cos I really liked Ed in this podcast. Nice _can_ be charming, hooray!

The allergies were really funny. As was Ed Helms. Not boring at all. A nice laid back jam.

So-so episode, but this from your newsletter Marc: "I am in preemptive withdrawal from my techno narcissistic extensions of my global emotional reassurance grid" has to be the best sentence of 2011 so far . . .

Maron, not only do you need allergy pills available, you should have taken the podcast somewhere else and not in your garage. He was wheezing for Christ's sake. Honestly you were being a bit self-absorbed and were not sensitive to how awful he was feeling.

For the past several days, there have been internal problems with the comment system. Many comments were flagged as having "unknown errors" and could not be published. That includes several comments I tried to post to explain the problem.

We apologize if your comment was not posted. It had nothing to do with the content of your comments.

Helms had this annoying habit of saying something and then 3 seconds later, immediately going "No. Wait, that's wrong."

Uninteresting because he sounds pretty whitebread, well-adjusted.

Not to mention the fact that they recorded this episode a few months back (something Marc could upload while in Australia) made it so Helms couldn't really say anything about The Office or The Hangover 2.

It's a good thing Andy and Angela didn't get married, with that cat allergy of his.

I liked the banjo playing and it was kinda funny that Ed was having cat allergy problems. His discomfort added some suspense and humor

They all can't be brilliant. But Foggy Mountain Breakdown was worth the wait.

That was oddly very uninteresting. Liked the banjo though, and like Ed Helms.
