Maron wtf9/12/2023 ![]() For a very long time, throughout the entire history of the show leading up to the pandemic, we insisted on people being live and in-person, but on certain occasions, we may have went to them if there was a scheduling thing where they couldn’t make it out to Marc’s place, or they had physical limitations, or it’s a situation where Marc had to catch Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio at the Arclight. As Marc was saying, we’ve been able to get guests that we haven’t been able to get in the past, and we’ve done so many interviews with people in Australia, which is really wild to me. The work has really increased in terms of our output. I shot a small movie during it, and I stayed pretty active, so I did everything I could to stay active and maintain my sanity, as well as stay engaged with the world, so I’m faring okay.īrendan McDonald: Same here. Aside from not being able to do stand-up, as well as some personal tragedy, the lockdown has been fairly busy.

Following the New York Times’ report, Liz Phair and Karen Elson shared statements about their own experiences with Adams. Through his lawyer, Adams told the Times that Moore’s characterization of their time together “completely inconsistent with his view of the relationship.”Īdams has denied all allegations of abuse levied against him. In the Times report, Moore cited several examples of alleged psychological abuse from Adams tied to her music career.
