My thoughts on Marc Maron’s soon to be legendary podcast run in the wake of his latest HBO comedy special, Panicked. He’s cleaning out stand-up comedy’s house. And he started with Trumpmedian Theo Von. open.substack.com/pub/wkamaube...

This is the bleakest sports in Pittsburgh have been since the late 80s, and yet, Mario was in town and you knew it had to get better. And Pitt basketball was good. ... Now ... yikes. Sid can see the end, and Paul Skenes makes me sick about Bob Nutting owning the Pirates. Steelers stuck. Pitt ugh.
