Marc Maron<\/a> may suffer from crippling anxiety<\/a>, but he doesn\u2019t suffer fools. Maron went off on Bill Maher on Pod Save America, calling him \u201cdesperate\u201d in an episode released August 24. \u201cI can\u2019t do it,\u201d he said, when Jon Lovett<\/a> asked him about Maher. \u201cI always had a problem with his tone.\u201d He elaborated that with Maher, \u201cand it happens with some of the other boomers, there\u2019s this desperate chasing of relevance that changes someone\u2019s mind in terms of how they approach what they do and also kind of makes the whole undertaking feel desperate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maron did caveat that he\u2019d been on Maher\u2019s shows Politically Incorrect and Real Time before (he was on Real Time thrice between 2011 and 2015). Then he offered the Kendrick Lamar\u2013esque kill shot: \u201cHe\u2019s got good joke writers who know how to write for his tone, but I can\u2019t see past the desperation and what he\u2019s willing to do to stay in the conversation.\u201d Next, Maron claims Maher disappoints his entire family<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the WTF host criticized Maher for telling people that he agreed with \u201csome of the things\u201d that Trump was doing. \u201cAre you going to be like Bill Maher, you know, \u2018I\u2019m going to agree with some of the things that Trump is doing,\u2019\u201d Maron said on a March episode of WTF with W. Kamau Bell<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s like, dude, you\u2019re a bitch.\u201d That may be Politically Incorrect, but it\u2019s funny.<\/p>\n
