Watch the stand-up comedy video 'Marc Maron Calls Out EVERYONE!!!!!!' from Bad Friends Clips on Comedy Buff. Published 2025-08-15. Transcript available.

I want to say that I feel like there's two people
that are the pioneers in terms of comedy
that inspired this generation to do it,
which is a generation below you.
- Yeah, I get it.
- It's you.
- Just one below me.
- And Mario Batali.
- For sure.
- His podcast is so good.
- I think we all, we probably all owe it to Tom Green.
- Yeah, we do actually.
- I did Tom, yeah, yeah, right.
Tom was first.
- With the video podcast.
- With the video, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But yeah, who, me and who else?
- Rogan.
- Okay.
- Who's that, who's that?
- Joe Rogan.
- Joe Rogan?
- Yeah, he's out of Texas.
- Oh, Texas.
Got it.
I got it.
Got it.
- You love Austin, don't you?
- He's running half the planet out of Texas.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- He's got a tight hold on the enlightened meathead.
- Dude, Marin's disdain.
- It's not disdain.
It's reasonable criticism.
- Reasonable criticism.
- Yeah.
- When was the last time you spoke with him?
- Uh, I don't know.
That's a good question.
I guess it would have been at the store.
I never talked to him in Austin.
I don't go into the club.
I don't really think I'm on his radar.
So I don't-
- Something tells me you are.
- Oh yeah.
- Yeah, something tells me you are.
- Yeah, something tells me you are.
- I don't, you know, it's weird
that you get lumped into a certain thing.
And maybe it's my assumption that, you know,
his army of, you know, healthy fellas.
- Is that their title?
Army of healthy fellas is so good.
- No, you just gotta, you know,
you gotta stay and keep the machine.
- The machine's gotta be good.
- Yeah.
- That's a shot at Burt.
Go ahead.
- What do you think the Austin shelf life is gonna be?
- Well, I don't know.
Like, I think that it's so effectively tribalized
at this point.
It really comes down to material.
I mean, at what point, like, at what point,
it's like whatever they represented in terms of policy.
- Sure.
- And it's not a stretch.
It's like, they won.
Trans people are frightened.
They have no ability to get healthcare anymore.
And they're afraid of being alive
and have no freedom left.
So that's done.
When do you stop with the jokes?
- When do you stop with the jokes?
- Like immigrants.
Okay, well, they're being ripped away from their homes.
And yeah, and they're, you know,
and they're all terrified.
And, okay, so that's done.
When do you stop with the jokes?
- Right.
- I mean, it's one thing to pick on the vulnerable
and the marginalized, but I mean, they're down.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I mean, like, why do you gotta keep hitting them?
Unless you're a hack.
Now there's a question.
- Oh, Mark.
- Mark, wow.
- It comes in swinging.
- No, so I don't know the last time I talked to Joe.
People for a while were like, you know,
why don't you go on Joe's show?
And my answer to that is like, why?
- Why?
- Well, it doesn't service you.
- Well, no, I don't need him.
And also there's no way for me to,
like, what am I gonna talk to him about?
And there's no way for me to sort of not walk out of there
and be like, all right, I guess I'll look at my phone.
"Oh, fuck, how long is this gonna go on for?"
You know, like-
- Right.
- But it's like Martin Luther King and Malcolm X
made me meeting at one point.
Let's go historical with it.
- Say it again?
- Malcolm X and Martin Luther King meeting.
They met at one point.
- Yeah.
- Well, that's right.
- Pioneers of the civil rights movement.
- Which one is Malcolm X and which one's Martin Luther King?
- Martin Luther King.
I don't really think-
- That's not Martin Luther?
- The analogy doesn't work.
- No, no, he's so bad analogies.
Let him keep going with this.
It's gonna get funnier as it goes on.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, let me go with more analogies.
- He's like, "This is if Hitler's and Goebbels
had to hang out off the work site."
- Well, one of those is right.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I think you got half that analogy.
- Thank you, dude.
- Mark, why could you just once support me,
you know what I mean, with an analogy?
- Shut up.
- But that was just wrong.
It brought race into it in a very profound way.
- Mine was angled and funny and distant.
It went somewhere else.
I think on one side of that,
there's a guy that's aggressively fighting
for the civil rights of victimized white people.
God knows they've had it hard enough for a long enough time.
But has Joe asked you?
- No.
- Oh.
- Here's a better angle.
- Adam used to go like, "Hey, what?"
And I'm like, "No, why?"
- Well, because it's interesting being someone like us
on the outside of it and watching you guys.
- Oh, you got one foot in, baby.
- Well, yeah, it's right up your ass.
- Yeah.
That's the other foot.
- I think what it is for me is I would love to see you guys chat,
but I'd love to see you guys chat in neither of your arenas.
It would be the only way it'd be legit.
Because if you have to go to his show, not going to work.
- Right, very good.
- He has to go to your house, not going to work.
You guys would have to do this thing.
- It's like setting up a mob meeting here.
- Yeah, no, seriously though.
- They should do it here.
- Moderated mob.
- You should do it here at Bad Friends.
- They should do it here.
- It would piss both of them off so fucking much.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Look at the art behind them.
- I know.
- This would be good neutral ground.
- But you do have to understand something.
I have known Joe since he started.
- Yeah.
- I mean, literally since he first set foot on stage.
- In Boston.
- I was there.
- In Boston.
- Yeah, and I remember my initial issues were,
there was another guy, Kevin Flynn, who was out of the game.
And he was like a soccer jock.
And at that time, Joe was like a regional kickboxing champion.
And my initial reaction was like,
what are these guys doing here?
This isn't for them.
- All right.
- This is, it's like Louie once said to me years ago
when Jay Moore started in New York, when he was like 17.
He's like, it's not for them.
It's not for the good looking guys.
It's not for the jocks.
This is for us rejects, us guys who don't fit in.
That's what comedy was.
- Right.
- By the way, was Jay Moore that good looking?
Am I crazy?
- He was cute back then.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
- Okay, but let's be honest.
Let's go back to the truth tree then.
Marc Maron is a good looking guy.
- Not always.
- I'm a little sweaty.
- You're a good look.
Dude, why are you getting TV shows every fucking second, man?
- And we'll get to that.
- Not for my looks.
- We'll get to that in a second.
- It is.
This company, your face, I've seen you on screen.
- No, he's a handsome guy.
It's annoying.
- You have great angles on your face.
- When you were young.
- Now.
- Yes, you're right.
You matured.
When you were young, you were hideous.
You were a hideous man to look at.
- I was sweaty and bloated and long hair.
But getting back to Joe, look, I imagine-
- Mm-hmm.
- All right.
- Sex machine, dude.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Oh, that was okay.
- Ladies, who's that?
That's a hot...
- But look, I really couldn't land on a look, could I?
- Yeah.
- God, you really rotated.
Now go to the, no, the Comedy Central photo down below.
- Yeah.
- Awful.
- Awful.
- Awful.
- That was a bad night.
- Awful.
I mean, this is what anti-Semites dream of.
- No, that's not quite, that's not quite a full Jew.
I would say full Jew.
Look at the one of me in Sam Kennison.
That is me at my drugged out fucking best.
- Wow.
- What a legendary photo.
- That's such a good photo.
- What a crazy photo.
- I was out of my mind.
- I know.
- Out of my mind.
Everything had a reason.
- Was that at Crust Hill?
- Did you live in Crust Hill?
- That was, yeah, I did.
That was in the back lot.
- Yeah.
- Wait, hold on.
Was that Fitz, was that you and a young Fitz?
- Yeah, yeah, that was in Boston.
Me and Fitz, yeah.
- Look at that, dude.
- Oh my God, dude.
- I've never seen this photo.
Look at how jacked Fitz looks.
- Wow.
- And then up there on the,
where's that one of me and Dave Cross in the red shirt.
Dave Cross, it was probably in the mid nineties.
Yeah.
- Oh my God.
- Yeah.
- Wow.
- But that night for the Comedy Central,
the first half hours, I was, I fucked it, man.
It was so sad, dude, because I got out here.
I wasn't living out here.
And I was still doing Coke then, right?
And I had one guy who would get me the blow here, right?
And it was, you remember, you remember Bob Baker?
- Oh yeah.
- Sure.
Bob Baker.
- Bob Baker, dude.
- I couldn't trust Chewy,
but Baker had other connections.
You know, Chewy.
- Chewy had other connections.
- You know, Chewy.
- House of Blues, you can get in there for free.
- Yeah, but I don't know what happened to Baker,
but he wasn't a dealer, but he, you know,
he was here and I would say like,
I'm coming out, you know, try to get some.
So I was really dead set on like trying to keep clean before that special.
And I thought I did because I was like, you know,
I'll just do a little the night before,
but I'll, I'll stop at like six at night, you know?
And, but needless to say, I didn't sleep much and I tanked.
I didn't tank, but it was not good.
It was the same.
That was like the same night that, that Hedberg,
whether it was that night or the night after did the special that made him.
- Yeah.
- But he didn't do well either, but he was him.
- I was at that special.
- Yeah.
That was at the Ivy on.
- He bombed so bad.
- Well, and he talks about it in the special, right?
Doesn't he talk about eating shit?
- He stops at one point and comes out again.
It was weird.
- But it took on mythic proportions at special.
- Yeah, yeah.
- That really was what put him on the map.
But that was the same bunch of taping.
So I was kind of sweaty.
I did okay.
I really didn't have my voice in totally.
I was still kind of bitter.
But the saddest thing about this is like,
you know, after you do a set like that,
you want to go into a room full of friends and like,
and they had food there too.
And, and I'm like, all right,
I finished the set and I walk into where the food is.
No one's in there, but Baker.
And he's going, they got roast beef.
And I'm like, wow.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- Wow.
That's the, that's the victory party.
- So what years were you a doorman at the store though?
- I got out here, I guess I,
I guess it was 86 and 87.
- Yeah.
- So I got out here in like the summer of 86,
became head doorman.
And, you know, she made me head doorman.
I got to, I had to get all these idiots jackets.
It was a different thing there.
She tried to open that.
She tried to open one in universal city.
- Wow.
- Like in a hotel there.
So it was my job to make the schedule for the door guys.
There was no security or anything.
And nobody wanted this job.
- Wow.
- So it was me, Rod Blackman, who wasn't a comic.
Andy Volver.
- Yeah.
- Uh, Mike Jeselnik.
Do you remember that guy?
- No.
- He was, he became a, he was a lawyer.
He's in Cleveland.
Uh, you know, um, Jay Pope was another guy.
I can't believe I'm remembering these names,
but like, you know, she was like, man,
you gotta get them jackets.
And I'm like, I gotta get them jackets.
So I'm down in fucking Chinatown trying to find black blazers
for these idiots.
And, uh, yeah.
And then like I was living in Culver city with Steve Brill.
And then they, they kicked me out of the, the apartment.
Because like Pete Berg, you know, the director.
- Yeah.
- Steve Brill is also director.
I went to college with Steve and we were best friends.
We actually started doing comedy together.
- Pete is killing it now.
- He does all right.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Like he does, he did a few Sandler movies.
He did Sandler's last special,
but Berg is definitely killing it.
- He's definitely killing it.
- He's got a real, oh no.
- He was your college roommate?
- Wow.
- No, Steve Brill was my good friend in college.
So Brill lived out here and there was a whole crew of them,
including Berg.
When I met Berg, he was like, he was running,
he was trying to act.
I took pictures of those guys and he used a picture.
I took of him as his headshot for years out in Culver city,
but him and, and, and Brill were friends.
And I was living with Brill in Culver city in a building,
his uncle owned or his mom or something.
And what happened was Berg needed a place to live.
So all of a sudden they're like,
you can stay on the couch.
And it was so sad.
Cause I, I was trying to get in and doing standup.
The way I got the job as a doormat at the store is like,
Mitzi, I was doing PA work.
This is a funny story.
Like, I didn't know what the fuck to do when I got out here.
I just wanted to be a comic and I didn't know how to get on
and know anything.
And I, when I got out here, I'd, I'd showcased at the store
and I showcased,
I don't even think it was a real showcase at the improv.
Um, and I just like, didn't know what else to do.
There wasn't any other options.
And I started doing PA work.
And so the, the first job it has a PA was on,
uh, and I, it doesn't matter.
Yeah, tell me, tell me, we have to know.
It was on a shoot for,
it was for, it was a series of videos called kid songs,
music videos for kids.
Kids song.
Kids song.
Yeah.
Like kids bop.
Yeah.
Whatever.
It's something like that.
Yeah.
And this one was a circus themed one.
And they were shooting at the, the circus Vargas,
which was on, it was not, it was, what do you call it?
When they're in, they're not in season off season, right?
So I know it's hard.
I'm getting old.
I see why you're ending the show.
That's pretty good.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I'm going to wait, wait, save it.
Come on.
Don't attack me.
So it's just all these circus people and these kids and the,
and the director's all coked up and it's all crazy.
And I'm just a PA running around getting things,
but it's like really, it's all circus people.
And the kids are running around.
And then after a day of shooting, there were two clowns.
And, uh, and there, after we, we wrapped,
the clowns come up to me and they're like, you want to get high?
And I'm like, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
I did.
Yeah.
I'm a PA.
I've never been high with clowns.
Well, that's, that's the up thing.
Like we let's go to our trailer.
So I go to the clown trailer and they're in there.
And the one dude just starts rolling in joy.
And I go like, hold on.
We, you got to take the makeup off.
I can't be still staring at you guys.
And fucking clown.
I can't do the clown.
The clown.
Was the nose still on?
Everything was still on.
Oh, wow.
That's insane.
So anyway, so I get another PA job for Mitzi.
And I didn't know it.
I just got a job.
You get into this, this circuit of PAs.
And she was shooting at that time.
Where, where, what is over there now?
Where the Petri is Petri used to be the house of blues.
And before that it was a house.
Wow.
It was, it was called, it was, it was John Barrymore's old house.
An old Hollywood house that Mitzi owned.
And she put a restaurant in there called Barrymore's.
Wow.
For a while there, no one would eat there.
Was it good?
I don't know.
It was a full restaurant.
No one would fucking eat there, man.
Wow.
Well, they tried to offer packages like, you know, dinner and the show.
So you'd eat dinner and then you'd go to the main room show.
But it was, it was a restaurant for a little while.
And there were production offices underneath it.
And she was trying to produce the comedy store channel.
So she had all the guys that were working at that time,
doing all kinds of sketches and all kinds of shit.
It was this big undertaking.
Ollie Joe Prater.
Yeah, probably.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm trying to remember who was, well,
she was fucking Danny Stone at the time.
Oh my God.
Danny was like, you know, how are you?
All he did was like.
Oh my God.
Rodney Dangerfield.
Yeah, he has that kind of vibe.
Yeah, always wearing a suit and sweaty.
Yeah.
Bug eyed and you know, but.
I heard Jimmy Schubert ate her pussy,
but I don't know if I can.
All right, Mark, finish your story.
Yes, he diverts and it's.
Sorry, sorry.
Yeah, no, Schubert will cop to that.
Yeah.
Yeah, Schubert used to say.
Really?
I think so.
Oh, I thought it was urban myth.
Okay.
No, no, he used to say,
I had a pager on my dick.
Wow, wow.
Yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah.

I mean, this is what anti-Semites dream of.
- No, that's not quite, that's not quite a full Jew.
I would say full Jew.
Look at the one of me in Sam Kennison.
That is me at my drugged out fucking best.
- Wow.
- What a legendary photo.
- That's such a good photo.
- What a crazy photo.
- I was out of my mind.
- I know.
- Out of my mind.
Everything had a reason.
- Was that at Crust Hill?
- Did you live in Crust Hill?
- That was, yeah, I did.
That was in the back lot.
- Yeah.
- Wait, hold on.
Was that Fitz, was that you and a young Fitz?
- Yeah, yeah, that was in Boston.
Me and Fitz, yeah.
- Look at that, dude.
- Oh my God, dude.
- I've never seen this photo.
Look at how jacked Fitz looks.
- Wow.
- And then up there on the,
where's that one of me and Dave Cross in the red shirt.
Dave Cross, it was probably in the mid nineties.
Yeah.
- Oh my God.
- Yeah.
- Wow.
- But that night for the Comedy Central,
the first half hours, I was, I fucked it, man.
It was so sad, dude, because I got out here.
I wasn't living out here.
And I was still doing Coke then, right?
And I had one guy who would get me the blow here, right?
And it was, you remember, you remember Bob Baker?
- Oh yeah.
- Sure.
Bob Baker.
- Bob Baker, dude.
- I couldn't trust Chewy,
but Baker had other connections.
You know, Chewy.
- Chewy had other connections.
- You know, Chewy.
- House of Blues, you can get in there for free.
- Yeah, but I don't know what happened to Baker,
but he wasn't a dealer, but he, you know,
he was here and I would say like,
I'm coming out, you know, try to get some.
So I was really dead set on like trying to keep clean before that special.
And I thought I did because I was like, you know,
I'll just do a little the night before,
but I'll, I'll stop at like six at night, you know?
And, but needless to say, I didn't sleep much and I tanked.
I didn't tank, but it was not good.
It was the same.
That was like the same night that, that Hedberg,
whether it was that night or the night after did the special that made him.
- Yeah.
- But he didn't do well either, but he was him.
- I was at that special.
- Yeah.
That was at the Ivy on.
- He bombed so bad.
- Well, and he talks about it in the special, right?
Doesn't he talk about eating shit?
- He stops at one point and comes out again.
It was weird.
- But it took on mythic proportions at special.
- Yeah, yeah.
- That really was what put him on the map.
But that was the same bunch of taping.
So I was kind of sweaty.
I did okay.
I really didn't have my voice in totally.
I was still kind of bitter.
But the saddest thing about this is like,
you know, after you do a set like that,
you want to go into a room full of friends and like,
and they had food there too.
And, and I'm like, all right,
I finished the set and I walk into where the food is.
No one's in there, but Baker.
And he's going, they got roast beef.
And I'm like, wow.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- Wow.
That's the, that's the victory party.
- So what years were you a doorman at the store though?
- I got out here, I guess I,
I guess it was 86 and 87.
- Yeah.
- So I got out here in like the summer of 86,
became head doorman.
And, you know, she made me head doorman.
I got to, I had to get all these idiots jackets.
It was a different thing there.
She tried to open that.
She tried to open one in universal city.
- Wow.
- Like in a hotel there.
So it was my job to make the schedule for the door guys.
There was no security or anything.
And nobody wanted this job.
- Wow.
- So it was me, Rod Blackman, who wasn't a comic.
Andy Volver.
- Yeah.
- Uh, Mike Jeselnik.
Do you remember that guy?
- No.
- He was, he became a, he was a lawyer.
He's in Cleveland.
Uh, you know, um, Jay Pope was another guy.
I can't believe I'm remembering these names,
but like, you know, she was like, man,
you gotta get them jackets.
And I'm like, I gotta get them jackets.
So I'm down in fucking Chinatown trying to find black blazers
for these idiots.
And, uh, yeah.
And then like I was living in Culver city with Steve Brill.
And then they, they kicked me out of the, the apartment.
Because like Pete Berg, you know, the director.
- Yeah.
- Steve Brill is also director.
I went to college with Steve and we were best friends.
We actually started doing comedy together.
- Pete is killing it now.
- He does all right.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Like he does, he did a few Sandler movies.
He did Sandler's last special,
but Berg is definitely killing it.
- He's definitely killing it.
- He's got a real, oh no.
- He was your college roommate?
- Wow.
- No, Steve Brill was my good friend in college.
So Brill lived out here and there was a whole crew of them,
including Berg.
When I met Berg, he was like, he was running,
he was trying to act.
I took pictures of those guys and he used a picture.
I took of him as his headshot for years out in Culver city,
but h
