bravo marc. fantastic conversation. 100% solid.  I want to read Merrill’s book.  Marc you may think a perpetual sadness is the fuel for your work, but in fact it’s your honest enthusiasm & love for comedy and deep conversation that is driving your most significant impact on the world.  Being less sad will not harm this.  It’s OK

Loving guests your getting Marc. Markoe definititely gave a rich history to the comedy scene back then.

Quick question: what was the George Meyer piece you (Marc) were refering to on his mention; something about a contribution to Markoe’s “mommies” piece?

Thanks again man!

How funny is Merrill Markoe?  During the Letterman bribery scandal in 2009, when it was revealed Dave was cheating on his wife, Markoe was asked to comment and she did, in one sentence:  “As you can imagine this is a very emotional moment for me because Dave promised me many times that I was the only woman he would ever cheat on.”

Your description of the symphony was so poetic! I was moved.

I never miss the podcast. Thanks so much for your sharing your talent and gifts with us.

You are so great on NPR. As in really charming and clever and made me want to drive 250 miles to see you in Seattle. But sorry, turning into you and all it starts with is fuck. How trite, puerile, and boring is that? George Carlin is dead and he wasn’t even funny. You are. Do better.

Mark, you have a potty mouth and mommy Lisa is going to spank you until your bottom turns blue, if that’s something you are into.  Merrill sounds like a real grand gal, by the way.  Why can’t I ever meet woman like that?  Is there too much “fuck” in my lexicon?  Lisa, please spank me…hard.  Daddy’ll do better.

Sadly, I knew nothing about Merrill Markoe before this episode.  I do now though!  Thank you for having her on, Marc.

Marc, I’m worried you will stop saying “fuck” because of lisa’s comment. Please don’t.

A friend gave me one of Merill Markoe’s novels for my birthday a few years back.  The name of the novel is “It’s My F—-ing Birthday” and I loved it.  Thanks for having her on the show, Marc.

The <a href=“http://www.waxfilter.com/products/china-fuel-water-seperator-r120p-manufacturer-4485.html”>oil water filters</a>‘s role: when the compressed air, contains a lot of oil and water solid impurities get into the separator and spin down along the wall, it will produce the centrifugal resulting . Oil and water vapor flow separate from the wall and to the separator’s bottom, then to the filter fine filtering.
  Because the filter elements use thick, thin, ultra thin fiber filter material to become chromatography fold, it has a high efficiency of filtering and small resistance. When the gas through the filter, as the filter preventing, inertia and molecular collisions between the van der Waals force, electrostatic attraction and vacuum suction, it is firmly in the adhesion of the filter material fiber, and increase gradually to become droplet then drip into the separator the bottom by gravity. Finally, it educes by the drain valve. 
  The <a href=“http://www.waxfilter.com/products/china-fuel-water-seperator-r120p-manufacturer-4484.html”>fuel water separator</a> general will not have any trouble unless in winter the water, separated from it, is frozen. It can cause powering gas road congestion, influence system dynamic of transmission, reduce the braking brake’s force and cause braking shortage when the <a href=“http://www.waxfilter.com/products/china-air-oil-separator-for-air-compressors-manufacturer-4616.html “>oil water separator</a> leak.
