Seriously?

Bennett Zeir AAR CEO September 01, 2009 at 11:35 pm


This sounds really interesting. Who represents you? Are you a spokesman for any large industry trade groups that lobby against change for people? If so, call me now.

nikolai September 02, 2009 at 12:03 pm


the direct dl does not directly dl.
Thanks.
Can\‘t wait to listen to this on a walk through the woods.

TMGLost September 02, 2009 at 1:12 pm


Missed ya man!  Looking forward to more of you in my ear (does that sound just wrong?)

Pam September 02, 2009 at 1:48 pm


I found out about this via Brendon McDonald tweet.  I subscribed on iTunes and am so pleased that you\‘re doing this. I\‘ve always said that if you or Sam did a paid podcast I\‘d sign up.  This still goes if you decide to charge.

Jim Earl September 02, 2009 at 2:00 pm


I refuse to subscribe to this until it\‘s a paid podcast. That way I can cancel and demand a refund.

Holly in Phoenix September 02, 2009 at 2:45 pm


Thank you Marc for this great podcast. I look forward to many more from you. I would also pay for your podcast just so you will be there to make this crazy world bearable. Keep them coming.

Libby in NC September 02, 2009 at 3:03 pm


WTF Marc?!? I\‘ve missed you!

Shannon September 02, 2009 at 3:15 pm


Hooray! How wonderful to hear your rants again!

Barb September 02, 2009 at 3:19 pm


I\‘ve missed hearing you so this was great! Fantastic job as always.

islandaze September 02, 2009 at 3:23 pm


Wow! I just finished Jerusalem Syndrome and was wondering, what\‘s next….Thanks Marc. Looking forward to your new show to compliment my Mike Malloy podcast….islandaze

Pioneer Counter Help September 02, 2009 at 3:32 pm


Table 6, please pick up your Green Chile Stew and Texas Toast.  And, your podcast is ready.

Dizzy April Tumbleweed September 02, 2009 at 3:37 pm


what wuz i thinking?  \‘frontier\’, not \‘pioneer\’....

Stan September 02, 2009 at 3:38 pm


You\‘ve broken all the rules for celebrity podcasts. Well produced, technically excellent without an ego gratifying bit-rate, and the show has something to say. Welcome back ... any recipes?

Jim September 02, 2009 at 3:59 pm


Too funny Marc…I also was a big fan of early 70\\\‘s roasts as a kid too.

Byronius September 02, 2009 at 4:00 pm


YEAHHHHHHHHHH!!!  WOOOOOOOO!!!

Damn, this is great!

Janet September 02, 2009 at 4:06 pm


Good to hear you.  Glad you\‘re back.

Nick Thomas September 02, 2009 at 4:55 pm


the whole foods story smile WTF., to damn funny man. I say WTF all the time. Now I can listen to you say it to.

jorogo September 02, 2009 at 5:42 pm


Great to have you back. I\‘ll listen tonite.
1 question: Where do we send the schwag now?

steve September 02, 2009 at 6:03 pm


It\‘s great to have you back. Work has been getting tedious w/o BRL.

Peas September 02, 2009 at 6:38 pm


The Whole Foods thing is soooo disturbing in so many ways! I work in Berkeley and folks swear by it.SORRY!!! I cant shop there… wrong! What an Ass Hole! Missed you MAN!Peas.

Jill September 02, 2009 at 6:48 pm


And here I was, listening to a February 2005 <i>Morning Sedition</i> yesterday and responding the way I usually do when I listen:  \“G*ddammit!  F*ckin\’ morons!  Good holy Christ I miss this show.\”  And here, like manna from heaven, you are, back where you belong—on the rant beat.  I just cancelled my AAR On-Demand (which I\‘d had since the beginning) on Monday, along with an angry e-mail to the suits over there.  That 70 bucks is yours—and more—if you decide to make this on a subscription basis.

Peas:  Move to NJ.  We have a <a href=\“www.fairwaymarket.com/\”>Fairway Market</a>  here in Paramus that\‘ll make you never even think about Whole Paycheck ever again.

Jim Earl:  Where the hell you been hiding?  Any Milfingtons going to stop by?

Holly in Phoenix:  Do I know you?  Does your last name start with \“T\”?

Heh.  Captcha is \“New gooding\”.  I\‘d say it is.

Jill again September 02, 2009 at 7:01 pm


By the way, I made a blogad for you.  It\‘ll run at B@B for 2 weeks.  Don\‘t say I never gave you nuttin\’.

musicmars September 02, 2009 at 7:05 pm


Welcome back Marc. I\‘m so grateful to have you back. I\‘m saving the show for tomorrow morning when I\‘m driving to work with my Breakroom Live Blend. I did listen to the beginning and I\‘m surprised at how professional it sounds.
It must be killing those AAR suits to know that they can\‘t fire you for a fourth time.

yu210148 September 02, 2009 at 7:44 pm


Hell Ya!  I\‘m in! Just subscribed.

Fishguy (Ret.) September 02, 2009 at 8:40 pm


WTF? 
ROTFLMFAO (SHIPMP!)

Alice September 02, 2009 at 9:27 pm


Yay! You\‘re back! I hope your blog can thrive in the sense of going 24/7 like Sam Seder\‘s Blog..I need a new place to hang out and be myself….

Best with this new adventure, Marc!

-Alice

Stephen Haffner September 02, 2009 at 10:27 pm


Welcome back, amigo.  You\‘re never really away, as long as there are the Snot Green Seas.

Will try to get the new girl out to see you at Lakeshore.

Wind Energy September 03, 2009 at 12:10 am


Your mind reminds me of the guy yelling at me down at the the Trailways station: \“DO YOU KNOW WHY THEY\‘RE TRYING TO FREEZE LIGHT?\” \“No.\”  \“BECAUSE THERE IS NO ZERO!\” But that\‘s a good thing, see.

JD September 03, 2009 at 12:12 am


Phewww..! What a relief!
Nice to have you back on the rooftops.
WTF, Man.

chomskyfan1 September 03, 2009 at 12:48 am


I miss BRL so much & glad to have you back, this was great to listen to. We aren\‘t even lucky enough to get an overprice Whole Foods in Grand Rapids Michigan (just rotten fruit & veggies by the local chains) I proud of your moment there.

vacuumbulb September 03, 2009 at 3:38 am


WTF-Do you really have a life if it has to be salvaged by Tom Cruise?  Thank you for being the public voice of what rattles through my head!

andrew h September 03, 2009 at 9:15 am


i like this Marc, you sound much more relaxed and professional than you did on the BRL, even though that show was kick ass. is this a daily thing or what? hope so, keep it up Marc.

Hank Thompson September 03, 2009 at 9:35 am


Glad to have your voice back on my mp3 player, Marc. First episode was a home run. I love your interviewing style, how you actually let your guest speak. Some comedians/hosts/podcasters have a hard time restraining their comedic instincts during interviews, constantly piping up, but you always facilitate a smart and interesting conversation. I could listen to Ross\‘s stories all day.

Tom September 03, 2009 at 9:45 am


Marc, I\‘ve really enjoyed your work on the radio from the early days with \“Sedition\” to BRL. Listen, you were, and still are, speaking my language concerning politics and \“our\” generations culture stuff. I\‘m in my mid-40\‘s too, so it\‘s cool to listen to your concerns, which are much the same as mine.

Just know, that there are people like me out here and seek you out, and to our luck find you! I just got this fuckin\’ iphone and this morning, early, around 4am, I was looking for something to listen to and guess who the fuck I found, YOU! So, hey…it was a great broadcast…all of it.

At the end, I said to myself (but in a nice, happy, serene way)...\“What the fuck…\”

Rick B September 03, 2009 at 10:53 am


Hey Marc, loved the first episode. What type of schedule do you plan to do these on? I FBed it and tweeted it for ya buddy. Good luck. That Ross interview was excellent.

Joe Money September 03, 2009 at 12:28 pm


Aw, man, you just made my day!  I can\‘t wait to hear this!  Glad you\‘re back, Marc.

C Hawes September 03, 2009 at 12:48 pm


For some reason does not work on my Windows PC at work, but it does on my Apple at home.  Can\‘t wait to listen.  BRL got me through work in the afternoons.  Nice to have you back.

JimmyJamesJr September 03, 2009 at 1:06 pm


How can we get the the BRL gang here? Somebody, make it happen!

Cletus September 03, 2009 at 1:33 pm


Very good show Marc. Great to hear you on the Internets again.

Melina September 03, 2009 at 9:00 pm


It\‘s so nice to have something to listen to!...I need more!
Congrats on the great numbers…
You know Im in to subscribe…and the same goes for any project that Sammy puts together…maybe we\‘ll end up with somewhat of a station cobbled together. I can get the Chicken Whisperer for you! heh…

and, they are building a Fairway here too…so fuck whore foods…Im boycotting but I am not ruling out the stealing thing. I never did get into the shoplifting thing…maybe its that last thrill for me!
But, does the conveyor belt on the second floor of the Houston st WF count? I wanted to eat and hide the plates….but the food going round there sorta scares me…

don\‘t try this at home, kids….no comedians were jailed in the making of this podcast!

My CAPTCHA was hochstein jasper, which I find troubling in that its slightly anti-Semitic and also anti-confederacy at the same time…make yer mind up WTF!!

Deborah (from Kansas) September 04, 2009 at 12:14 am


Super to hear you again.  Your voice was as if you were right here in the room.  Wow!! How do you do that?  smile smile  I like the way the BRL Team wrote to let us know what\\\‘s up with you and Seder.  Great Team.

Thank you for your voice and time for doing the pod for us.

Takecare, smile smile smile smile

Peace

Nick September 04, 2009 at 4:04 am

FreedomSurfer September 04, 2009 at 4:16 pm


Whoo hooo!  Welcome back and keep em coming.  I\‘ll help spread the word to my progressive friends.  And good first episode…looking forward to second!

toowhite September 04, 2009 at 7:33 pm


Marc,

Intelligence, Perspective, Humor. What more could one ask for?

Respectful Bit:

If you want to now why some people have a bad attitude towards Jews, it is because Jews write the best humor. They get all the bookings.

Also,

Jesus was crucified because his stand up routine frightened the Romans. I bet you know that.

sincerely.

Marc Okon September 04, 2009 at 7:40 pm


Remember comedy friend that when all of us are long gone your voice and what you say today will live on in the minds of all the oppressed across the digital planet and in 50 years a kid living in a shack will listen to your show and feel good if only for an hour.

matt emmerich September 05, 2009 at 9:02 am


great song choices, more replacements please!

Sue P September 05, 2009 at 3:05 pm

Anxiously awaiting the next podcast. Can\‘t wait to here what Marc has to say about the school speech protesters. Hope we get an email when the next podcast is aired.

Love this show. Marc is so funny. If you like this check out the www.nwconvergencezone.com and the northwestconvergencezone podcast. I recommend them as well.

Maou Tsaou September 07, 2009 at 1:37 pm


Just tell me where to send my belts in support of the show. Hell, you can have all the old clothes you want. Then rent the place next to RL and charge half what they do. You can even use the same kids to sew LR lables on to the junk so that it looks right in the mirror.
