Mar 15, 2010 16

Marc wants to help you kick your addictions (unless your addiction is this podcast). Comic Rob Delaney shares his own bottoming-out story and encourages you to laugh at his pain. Then Marc gets some couch-time (actually, garage-time) with Almost Dr. Steve to help deal with "the bug."

I just discovered your podcast recently, and had on of those \"WhereTheFuck has this been all my life?\" moments. I absolutely loved this one, and will share it w/ a few shadowy friends. Congrats on your 10 years, and keep up the outstanding work w/ this great podcast.

Always a great podcast... and I agree 100% with this:

\"As for pot being the most \'insidious\' of all drugs as Maron stated, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY disagree. Pot is the most benign of them all. That is the truth.\"

Marc, thanks for this episode. I love your comedy, but these \"serious\" discussions take your podcast to another level. Really insightful stuff. I\'m listening to it for the second time, and I\'m going to play it to my girlfriend, who is in therapy because of depression.

By the way, you have to come to Finland and perform your comedy here. You have a steady fanbase here (based on your appearances on Conan), and you could probably book a couple of gigs in Helsinki and Tampere.

Another great episode. I actually heard it twice. The fascinating thing to me about it was the apparent inherent honesty between Maron and Delaney. It was comforting to know feelings of depression, of impending doom, from time to time, are not just exclusively in my head. As for pot being the most \"insidious\" of all drugs as Maron stated, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY disagree. Pot is the most benign of them all. That is the truth. Look forward to the next one.

Chantix will help you stop smoking. I was diagnosed with a liver disease 10 years ago and subsequently stopped drinking. Thats one way to get sober. Thanks for this podcast Marc its good to talk it out. No I am going to go rub one out.

Thank you Marc for your insight, but sometimes i get confused as to who is a fake guest and who is a real guest. that Rob Delaney sounded a whole lot like the guy who smoke the Salvia and talked about shutins poop. I will take your word for it that he is real. It\'s hard to imagine getting that fucked up that you would drive into a building and not remember it. I still don\'t believe that addiction is a disease. Addiction is the CURE, albeit an unsustainable one. The disease is the depression and anxiety and the lack of love received as a child. I find most problems come down to that.

I enjoyed these stories and the general tone of this one. Listening to funny people talk about sad things is way more appealing than unfunny people talk about anything. Thank you!

\"A sucky WTF podcast beats most other podcasts,,,\" so you agree it was sucky? I don\'t look to this podcast to teach me stuff but sometimes I do learn things. That\'s what great about comedy - it can open your mind up to things that you might reject if someone just flatly tells you something you\'ve heard a million times before.

Hey Fan, if you look to this podcast to \"teach\" you something, you\'re going to be in deeper shit than you already probably are. You thought it was preachy too? It was just two guys telling stories of the good ol\' days. A sucky WTF podcast beats most other podcasts out there, so perk up and stay happy.

This episode sucked Marc. It was preachy and didn\'t teach me anything I didn\'t already know. I\'m happy for you, but there is nothing more irritating than a sober person.
