Episode 221 - Carrot Top

the most recent marc maron/carrot top interview was at the same time frustrating and incredibly fascinating.

MM:  One thing I can report from the Carrot Top compound is he seems well-adjusted, the house is very nice, his girlfriend is lovely.  He doesn’t look as ripped as he used to.

CT:  No, I’ve lost about 30 pounds actually.

MM:  Huh.  Of muscle?

CT:  Yeah.

MM:  On purpose?

CT:  Yeah.

MM:  Did you just look at my stomach like I’m fat?

CT:  No, I looked down to see how much time we have in this thing.

MM:  Well, we can stop it?

CT:  No, I’m kidding.
