All right, let's do this. How are you? What the fuckers. What the buddies. What the ears. What's happening? I'm Marc Maron. This is my podcast. Welcome to it. How's it going out there? How'd everybody do? I don't know. General question. How'd everybody do? I did okay this morning. Did you do okay this morning? How far into the day are you? What's going on? Oh, my God. There's a lot of stuff. There's a lot of stuff. A lot of things are breaking down in me, in my body. My eyes are fucked up. That's for another day. Not bad. Just keep, you know, I mean, every year a little. Little worse. Everything's a little worse on the physical side, but, you know, that's the gift. That's the gift of continuing to live. You can just watch things in your body slowly break down. How's it going? Good morning. Yeah, that's where I'm at. Look, today, a couple of interesting things today. Well, first of all, I'm going to talk to Dustin Chaffin. He's a comedian who I literally have known for. Wow. I don't know. It's gotta be 25 years. I haven't talked to him, I don't think, in 20 years. And he was around when I was in New York, I'm guessing. Gotta be 2000s, early 2000s. He used to run a room. I think he was roommates. We talk about it, but I think he was roommates with Bargetzi. He tours with Bargetzi now. But back in the day, he had sort of a gimmick going, and I think he's over it, but we talk about it. He texted me out of nowhere, and he was like, can we talk? And I'm like, yeah, man. Yeah, you can go to dustin chaffin.com to see his tour dates. I'm just glad he's still around. He's coming up. Now. The other thing that we're going to do today is kind of interesting. Now, a lot of, you know me, I'm not challenging myself. Is. There's a spectrum to it. Okay. You know, I don't go overboard, certainly not physically. You know, I keep in shape. I do the exercising. I think I'm. I'm actually. I believe that Men's Health magazine is some, for some reason, gonna do a piece on me. And I tried to make it clear to the person arranging it that, like, you know, I'm not ripped and, you know, I'm not really abiding by any Specific protocol, diet wise, other than the one that I've created for myself, you know, But I am. I am fit. Is that going to be enough? I'd prefer no pictures with the shirt off. I don't really want to do any action shots. But look, I push it. I do my thing, man. You know, I mean, I go up that mountain. I was going up a lot more. I haven't been going up lately because since I broke my foot and passed out and a slight fear, but not so much going up, going down. And for some reason, me and Gimme, gimme Dan, we choose to run down. And you don't want to compromise, you know, your, your, your pattern. You don't want to compromise your, Your system. But again, you get old. You gotta tweak the system. You gotta make some compromises. But nonetheless, that's a hard hike. And I do it frequently enough to be used to it, but it's still. It's still fucking hard. So that's the limit. I don't need to necessarily push myself beyond the limits I'm comfortable with of just staying in shape. I've never been one of these guys that's had to achieve, you know, kind of personal, monumental bests in the form of, you know, doing something that no one else does. Not jumping out of planes, you know, I'm not climbing Everest. Which comes to my guest right now. My. My special guest, this guy. All right, look, we posted something on the full Marin bonus feed last week. And we figured, you know, we'd share some of it with the whole audience today. Cause it was, you know, it's a unique piece of conversation. If you don't know about the Friday show on the full Marin. My producer, Brendan McDonald and my board op and coworker from back in the day, Chris Lopresto, do a bonus show every week where they recap everything. Basically in the WTF orbit. Last week they had a guest on Darby Allen, okay? He's an AEW wrestler and a pro skateboarder. And he also just got back from the, from the top of Mount Everest. And look, I've never spoken with anyone who climbed Mount Everest before, so. So they had me come on to the Friday show and talk with Darby now. Okay, a couple of things. He'll be auctioning off some items from his climb to raise money for Tony Hawk's skateboard project. But he also has other reasons. He wanted to make the climb and he told us about him. So this was me on the Friday show last week talking with Darby Allen over video chat from his home. Okay. And you'll hear Brendan here getting the introduction started.
