Sober Steve-O claims Bill Maher refused to stop smoking weed for podcast appearance: He’s ‘the jackass’
It was too high a price.
Former “Jackass” star Steve-O claims he turned down an appearance on Bill Maher‘s “Club Random” podcast after Maher allegedly refused not to smoke pot during the interview.
“I’m a clean and sober guy. It’s very important that I maintain my sobriety, it’s approaching 16 years,” Steve-O, born Stepᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhen Gilchri𒁃st Glover,
“I am about to be sweet 16. Really, there’s nothing I value more than my sobriety,” Glover, 49, continued. “There’s nothing more that I protect than my recovery.”
The prankster “found it kind of upsetting” when he was told “that’s a dealbreaker” after telling Maher’s team he would appear on the show but requested the 68-year-old host abstain from smoking pot.
According to Glover, he was shocked at the host’s blatant refusal, as other🃏 notorious pot smokers previously respected hi🧔s wish.
“Mike Tyson’s podcast is called ‘Hotboxin,’” Glover stated. “Be real! All of these prolific potheads, I’ve been on their shows and it wasn’t 🐻so important to them to blow marijuana smoke in my face, but for Bill Maher it was a dealbreak๊er.”
The Post reached out to Maher for comment.
Sincꦰe Glover made the comment, some users on X (formerly ဣTwitter) have slammed Maher.
In one clip, Maher can be heard telling singer Sheryl Crow: “That’s when I need a joint … but I’d never light one up in front of you.”
“When someone doesn’t respect a person’s sobriety it says a lot about them,” one user .
“So, between Steve-O & Bill Maher, Bill Maher is the jackass. That tracks, actually,” a second person .
“Steve-O’s worst sketch on ‘Jackass’ is funnier than the entirety of Bill Maher’s dips – – t career. The man’s a f – – king loser,” a third person.
Other users, however, appeared to side with the controvꦉersial podcast host.
“I’m no fan of Bill Maher but I’d say no too,” one person . “The world doesn’t owe Steve-O anything for being sober.”
“Kinda sounds like a vegan going to people’s houses and asking them not to eat meat,” a second defender .
“Valid on Bill’s end ngl. The dude’s whole thing is being buzzed for it,” a third person. “Steve’s not that important. Not worth f – – king with Bill’s vibe on his own show.” Should’ve told him “no because I’m sober & easily tempted” if Bill came back w “I’ll do it sober too” then great.”
Maher has ๊been a staunch supporter of the legalization of mariܫjuana for years.
In 2016, the writer that the drug shelped 🎶him with his creative process.
“I am hardly the only person in this world who finds pot to be a creative aid,” he told the outlet at the time. “But if I’m staring at the blank computer screen sober, I’m thinking, ‘Uh, I don’t want to start this, it’s an ASSIGNMENT!’ Then, as soon as I’m high, which takes about three seconds, it’s, ‘Oh, this is fun! This isn’t an assignment. It’s a GAME.'”
