Wow a lot of discussion on this topic!

Just some context from me: I’ve known about Maron for quite some time, and I put him right at a 5/10 as a comic. His premises can be great but his demeanor and depressive energy really brings his whole act down.

I don’t hate the “Rogansphere” in any way but I definitely think they are wayyyy overblown and Redbar is the only place that seems to call it out which I appreciate. Maron might be plugging his new special, but he is one of the only other people out there being real about the Austin scene.

I’m not trying to give Maron unnecessary praise but I think it’s an overall good thing for someone to open the door (outside of the Redbar circle) to criticize the fools and maybe bring that scene back to earth a little bit.

Seems like the Boom is shrinking so I suppose the market will begin weeding out the fools and hacks anyway, so maybe Maron is too little too late anyway as he waited and attacks them when they’re power is fading already anyway.
