All right, let's do this. How are you, what the fuck, buddy?
What happened?
All right, let's do this. How are you, what the fuckers, what the fuck buddies, what the fucking ears, what the fucksters? What's going on? I'm Marc Maron, I'm punchy, I'm tired. I haven't really slept. How's it going? Yeah, this is my podcast, WTF. Welcome to it.
I flew in very early this morning, today being Sunday that I'm recording for you, on Monday for this lovely show, featuring the very funny and great Christina Pazsitzky. Man, I better pronounce that right. Pazsitzky, P-A-Z-S-I-T-Z-K-Y. Christina Pazsitzky, Pazsitzky. We talk about it. I think that's it. I think I got it.
She's married to the very funny Tom Segura. They have a podcast together called Your Mom's House. She also has a great special out now called Mother Inferior streaming on Netflix. She's got her own podcast, That's Deep Bro. So you can check those out wherever you get podcasts. This is the first time we've really gotten to talk. We did a live one many years ago, but had a great chat. So that's coming up. That's coming your way.
I'm tired. I'm chunky. I'm a little bit delusional.
I was in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut yesterday.
I flew out there Friday night. I'm trying to, as I told you before, I'm moving. Everything's in limbo. I seem to have a hard time detaching from, I just, I don't know how long I can keep in this limbo. At some point, I just gotta, I gotta move, right? I gotta just move, right? I don't know, man. Everything is so complicated. I just, whew, flew out there late Friday night, half awake, stressed out.
That flight was all screwed up, went through Chicago. Then I got to Hartford, not an electric city. I got nothing against it. I remember driving through Hartford a lot. Hartford was a place that you kind of went through. I think on 86 maybe, if you took the right way from New York to Boston, you would kind of move through Hartford and go like, hey, I guess that's Hartford. But yeah, I went there for this thing called the CT Forum. It's a nonprofit that does a big lecture series and works with high school kids and does all kinds of interesting stuff with a lot of sponsors. But it was a panel. It was a comedy panel booked months ago. It was me, Tig, Notaro and Fred Armisen hosted by a fella named Colin McEnroe. And it was kind of a lovely event. I had not seen Fred in a while. I had not seen Tig in a while. I had not talked to either of them. And it was like a full evening. It was kind of wild, actually. I wake up the next day in Hartford, Connecticut. I don't turn my watch back. I keep it on LA time because I know I'm just gonna be fucked up because I'm only there two nights. But the view I had from my room was just into an atrium. I opened the curtains up and there was a view of a lobby, which is a little, I don't know, it makes you feel like THX 1138 Like we're no longer allowed to go outside anymore. So that was disconcerting and the hallway was a little noisy. Why am I just rambling on about this? So the event starts where me and Tig and Fred Armisen, we go and meet with this group of high school kids who have questions for all of us about comedy. And I hadn't seen Tig in a long time and I hadn't seen Fred in a long time. And it was really, there is something about the comedy community. It was good to catch up with everybody. It was fun to see those two in particular because we were all together and it was sort of an odd group. And it was interesting to see how everybody responded in talking to addressing questions of people interested in comedy, young people. And we did that for a few minutes and then we were taken to some cocktail gathering where we all had to sort of hang out and engage with the regular working people. That's something as a comic, you do it after shows sometimes and maybe if you're on set, but that's show business working people. But these were just people from all the different sponsors who had different affiliations with the CT Forum. And it was like a cocktail hour and they'd set us all up at different stations within this bar area. Like we all had a table with our name on a little placard sticking out of the table. So there was just like, I was just standing at a small round bar table with the note card, which just said Marc Maron on it. And I just was there available to people to come up and talk and take pictures and answer questions. And Tig was at some other part of the room and Fred was in another part of the room and we just kind of stood by our names and talked to people. And it was actually very pleasant.
