So you watched your show, huh? :( RT @marcmaron I guess if everything is garbage principles are stupid.

@michaelianblack No, I was just reading your book.
— marc maron (@marcmaron)
Thanks for the support! Be like Marc. Buy my book! amzn.to/t6sAzi RT @marcmaron No, I was just reading your book.

@michaelianblack I got my in the free box at Goodwill.
— marc maron (@marcmaron)
@marcmaron I thought I recognized that shirt.
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack)
@michaelianblack No, seriously, Mike. I got your book in the free box a Goodwill because they couldn’t even sell it. Was that unclear?
— marc maron (@marcmaron)
@marcmaron It was clear. I was trying to lighten the mood because I feel bad that you still have to shop at Goodwill.
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack)
@michaelianblack No, man. I was donating stuff. I wasn’t going to tell you. I feel bad now.
— marc maron (@marcmaron)
@marcmaron Don’t feel bad. I’m glad somebody else has the opportunity to enjoy it as much as the 93 people who gave it 5 stars on Amazon.
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack)
@michaelianblack It’s ranked 69,551 in Books! Good for you!
— marc maron (@marcmaron)
@marcmaron That’s awesome! When I checked it five minutes ago, it was 180,000! Also I checked the reviews for your book. A little mixed. :(
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack)
@michaelianblack Yeah. I bring out many feelings in people. I’m honest. You do what you do. Thank god for The State fans, right?
— marc maron (@marcmaron)
@michaelianblack Also, you were funny on that show Ed. What’s going on with you these days?
— marc maron (@marcmaron)
@marcmaron Same old, same old. Writing a new book, new children’s book due out, and two new TV shows about to go on the air. Ugh!
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack)
@michaelianblack Wow! Hope that stuff works out. It’s been a long haul for you. And to maintain that awful character you live in. Hard.
— marc maron (@marcmaron)
@marcmaron I know: the “awful character” is something my wife and kids have to live with EVERY DAY!!! How do your wife and kids handle you?
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack)
@michaelianblack Thank god I knew myself well enough not to impose that on others. You’ve made kind of a living off it.
— marc maron (@marcmaron)
@michaelianblack Snarky children’s books? Is it the Daddy Douchebag series?
— marc maron (@marcmaron)
@marcmaron No, just another in my series of “New York Times Notable Books of 2012” children’s books.
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack)
@michaelianblack I guess your old fan base is kind of grown up now. Good for you for knowing who you appeal to.
— marc maron (@marcmaron)
@marcmaron Tried to watch your show the other night but I couldn’t find IFC so I watched reruns of “Louie.” So funny!
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack)
@michaelianblack Yeah, Louie is great! Sorry you couldn’t find my show. Maybe you don’t get it or you can afford that tier.
— marc maron (@marcmaron)
@marcmaron Yeah, I don’t know. I called my cable company and they hadn’t heard of it. I spelled “Maron” and everything. They were clueless.
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack)
@michaelianblack Really, you said IFC? You should call back. That sounds stupid.
— marc maron (@marcmaron)
@marcmaron I asked how I could find the TV show “Maron” and they hadn’t heard of it. I described you. The guy goes, “You mean Lewis Black?”
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack)
@michaelianblack Nah. That didn’t happen. Me and Lewis are very different. You should be specific with customer service. Just say IFC!
— marc maron (@marcmaron)
@michaelianblack Look, I know you have to whatever comes your way for money because things didn’t quite work out. I empathize.
— marc maron (@marcmaron)
@marcmaron I said, “Bitter Jewish comedian with a chip on his shoulder about everything.” They said “Sounds derivative.” I said, “I know.”
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack)
@michaelianblack Sounds like you had A LOT of time to talk to customer service about me. I guess that’s one way to fill a day.
— marc maron (@marcmaron)
@marcmaron Yeah, feels good to finally have some downtime. How did you handle those twenty years of your career?
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack)
@michaelianblack I was always busy. Did a lot of standup. I remember when you first tried standup. You never really got it.
— marc maron (@marcmaron)
@marcmaron It was hard to find the time to devote to it, but glad you stuck it out. The road hasn’t aged you AT ALL.
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack)
@michaelianblack I have to go. Congrats on your children’s book and 2 shows. Look forward to you doing the same thing you’ve always done!
— marc maron (@marcmaron) May 21, 2013
@marcmaron Thanks, Marc. I don’t need to look forward to you doing the same thing you’ve always done because you’re doing it right now.
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack) May 21, 2013
@michaelianblack And you started this.
