Sam Kinison tells Mark Maron, 'I pissed on your bed, Maren.'

1. The Liars Club episode centers on Mark Maron telling two connected stories around Sam Kinison, Crest Hill, and a Comedy Store house full of guitars. 2. Felicia Michaels, Jess Wellington, and David C. Smalley host Mark Maron, a comic known here for his podcast, GLOW, and Reservation Dogs. 3. The episode asks which of Mark's two Crest Hill stories is the lie, while tracing the chaos around Sam Kinison's HBO special premiere. 4. Mark says he was not invited to Carla Bow's watch party, so he and Bob Zmuda drove over in Zmuda's Eldorado after Zmuda arrived at the Comedy Store. 5. At Carla Bow's house, Mark describes a room where everyone was "gacked," with a thousand dollars of sushi left untouched because nobody could eat. 6. Back at Crest Hill, Sam Kinison, Carl, and Mark set up guitars and amps on the deck while Eric Clapton briefly showed up to play. 7. Mark says he shook Clapton's hand, dropped to his knees, and then watched Clapton leave because the room became awkward. 8. After Clapton left, all the guitars and equipment ended up in Mark's room at Crest Hill. 9. Days later, Dave London, a heroin-using Satanist who hung around the Comedy Store, showed up at the house. 10. Mark says Dave told Sam Kinison he would report him to Anton LaVey, which triggered Kinison to punch him. 11. Mark locked Dave in his room with Sam's guitars, then left to pick up his friend Bill from LAX. 12. When Mark returned the next morning, his bedroom door had been kicked in and the room looked wrecked. 13. Sam Kinison was still there with a small group of people, including Larry Scarano and an unexpected woman, and he told Mark, "I pissed on your bed, Maren." 14. Mark says he lost his mind in the parking lot, hallucinating and breaking glasses before Magic the coke dealer told him, "You got to go man." 15. After that, Mark says he paid his debts, gave Rod a bunch of things, and left the group. 16. He then drove to Tucson, where his brother was graduating college, and says he felt like every car accident carried mystical meaning. 17. Mark says he renewed his passport because he thought he might have to run, then went into rehab for a month. 18. The episode also turns to Mark's Obama interview, where he says Secret Service secured his house, tented the driveway, and stationed snipers on a neighbor's roof. 19. The conversation is loose, fast, and memory-driven, with Comedy Store names, drug stories, and deadpan corrections from the hosts. 20. Listeners who know Sam Kinison, the Comedy Store, or Marc Maron's career will get the most from it, while people wanting a structured, spoiler-free interview may skip it.

As heard by us

A shaggy lie game that turns Comedy Store chaos into a very funny interrogation.
