Never Forget:

I think her voice and pronunciation (diction?) is odd. It grates on me.

I thought Maron was going to spontaneously combust when they found their mutual love of Peter Green.

Yeah, I would assume it’s something like this. The couple times I’ve gotten a poison ivy rash, the best relieft came from taking a scalding hot shower, as hot as I could tolerate. It basically numbed my skin for a short time.
