" Marc Maron has opened up about his complex friendship with comic Louis CK. The comedians have been friends for decades, but apparently stopped speaking to each other several years ago because of a dispute.   Maron recently admitted to NPR that he and the Louie star fell out over disagreements largely due to his own &amp;quot;resentment&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;I had a real problem with resentment and, you know, Louis is his own guy. He busy, too, and he&amp;#039;s got his own issues, but this thing happened,&amp;quot; he recalled. &amp;quot;I think there was love there. We were good friends. We did have a connection. We did make each other feel better in times of crisis, and we just let it go and it was a burden for me.&amp;quot; He went on to explain: &amp;quot;So after that [interview], yeah, we did. Honestly, the one thing I learned from that is a lot of times, because of the immediacy of the culture we live in, when you put a text out there or you shoot an email, if you don&amp;#039;t hear back from someone in a day, you&amp;#039;re like, &amp;#039;Well, that&amp;#039;s it. What happened there? Why isn&amp;#039;t he ... ?&amp;#039;  &amp;quot;And now that I&amp;#039;m a little busier, it took this to happen for me to realize it: Things fall through the cracks. You know, it&amp;#039;s hard to keep up with everything that&amp;#039;s coming at you.&amp;quot;  Maron also revealed that it took Louis CK agreeing to appear on his podcast WTF for them to heal old wounds. &amp;quot;Ultimately what happened with him is, I went to New York and he invited me over to his house,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;You know, I ate leftovers, and we sat down, and we talked for two hours.  &amp;quot;He showed me some cuts of one of the episodes he was working on, and we connected, and it was great. And then I went and did what I had to do, and he went and did what he had to do, and we&amp;#039;re in touch. So yeah, the friendship is intact, and it&amp;#039;s better.&amp;quot; Maron has since gone on to appear in an episode of Louis CK&amp;#039;s sitcom Louie that satirized their once-strained relationship. His own comedy series Maron - which co-stars Judd Hirsch and Andy Kindler - airs on Friday on IFC. Watch a preview of Maron below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
