What this episode shows is that it's going to take a lot of work to turn
Maron into a sitcom actor. Maron has made the point many times on his
podcast that a standup is a different kind of comic than an improv or
sketch comic as he chooses to work alone. I don't see how a sitcom can work
that way. Maybe when some more characters are introduced it will pick up.

Denis Leary is an EP and appeared as a podcast guest in order to set the
plot in motion. The conversation they had in that scene sounded more like
morning radio talk and not like the podcast and I found that off-putting.
