Episode 937 - Mila Kunis / Iliza Shlesinger

**Marc Maron** (0:09)
All right, let's do this. How are you, WTFers? WTF buddies? WTF Rahomans?
Yes, I read my email, and I see the tweets. Occasionally, I'll throw a new one in there. Exciting news, before I forget, it's been about like six or seven years since we've had any new WTF t-shirts, right? Because I know a lot of you, that logo has not changed. Maybe I've changed, but there's something about the original logo. We still have it up, it's still the avatar, but this is sort of a retro WTF thing in a way. I mean, we've had several different types of designs, but for some reason, I was just, maybe we should do something that honors the original logo. So, if you're part of the club who enjoys this show, you'll understand what it is. And some people are just like, what's up with that fucking shirt? Which is something you want people to say. So go get yourself a new WTF shirt at podswag.com/wtf, slash WTF or go to the merch page at wtfpod.com. We've still got the old shirts there and some posters. There's going to be more posters too. So go get some stuff. Would that be all right? Today is another double header. Basically, we've got Iliza Shlesinger, who's got her new special coming out. Wait, wait, wait. I know what it's called too. Hold on. I've got it written down right here.
Yes.
Iliza, Elder Millennial. That's her new special. Mila Kunis is here as well. I'd never met her before. Her new movie that she did with Kate McKennan, who I'd like on the show. Hello, anyone listening? Hello, Kate McKennan, you're invited. Please come. The Spy Who Dumped Me, that opens in theaters on Friday.
So yeah, another big double show.
I'm promoting it like it's a non-purpose double show, just so sometimes things fit together. Sometimes timed things, sometimes times work out.
There are people that I try to get on that I want to get on that I just haven't gotten on yet. It's not that they don't want to come on. It's not that we haven't tried to get them on. It's just, it hasn't happened.
And sometimes I make mistakes. I didn't tell you about this. It was sort of on the down low, I guess, but I flew to the Montreal Comedy Festival Thursday morning and I'm back already. I'm recording this on Saturday. I was not on the festival, but a couple of weeks ago, the festival chief, the kingpin up there, Bruce, he texted me that the Glow Women, the women who created Glow, Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, were being awarded for the Comedy Writers of the Year at the Just For Last Comedy Festival.
At first he wanted their emails so he could maybe kind of speed up the getting them the news to see if they wanted to come. And then I guess they requested that I come present them that award and of course I would do that. But I haven't gotten that festival in a few years because I don't really do it anymore. And I, and I don't, I, you know what? I might be wrong in not doing that. I tend to just go up and play Montreal once every year or two and not deal with the festival because it's exhausting.
And I used to put a lot of like, it used to be very important to all of us to get into that festival and so stressful and every set mattered. And you always thought something was going to happen that didn't, not for me anyways. But I just, once I was able to sell some tickets, I sort of didn't care whether I went or not, but I'm getting around to the point.
But I went and it was fun to just go up there and just have this little thing to do on Friday afternoon. I got in Thursday, I went to out to eat with Dino, Dean Del Rey and I went to a Pide Couchon, a Pide Couchon, a Pide Couchon. I don't know how to say it. I don't know how to speak French.
So that night I go do the alternative comedy show, which Andy Kinloch hosts. I just did a 10 minute set. Lovely to see Andy and Jackie Cation and Moshe Cash was up there. These are people I see around here. But that, see, that's the thing I forget that I like to do. I like to hang out with comics. I did, that's my entire social circle. If I hung out with more people more than the time, I wouldn't get angry that I'm holding too much inside. I mean, you guys are my only friends and Sarah, I mean, obviously, I'm closer to Sarah, but I don't talk to too many people, but you guys and Sarah need to spread it out, open it up.
