    Real Time s24e24 - You Will Long for the Grinch's Wife feat Josh Boerman

    "Booked at the Very Last Minute" month continues here at I Hate Bill Maher, with Josh Boerman bailing me out and coming on to talk about Real Time season 24, episode 24. Unfortunately there was no Grinch's wife to keep things fun, and this episode was actually structured seemingly to get worse and worse and worse until we're both extremely pissed off about it. Hey women, don't like workplace sexual harassment? Bill Maher says FUCK. YOU. Hopefully The episode is not quite so late next week, but God works in mysterious ways.

    Real Time s24e22 - Vote Your Pokemon Gossoff feat Jacob Dallas

    Man oh man, this guy freakin' sucks at his job!!! Writer/Podcaster/Organizer Jacob Dallas joins me this week to talk about Real Time season 24, episode 22. A limp but tighter than usual monologue is followed by a fake blue collar guy, a disgusting libertarian, and a journalist who Jacob is familiar enough with that he ends up being disappointed with her performance on here. Why's everybody always handling this freakish old pervert with kid gloves? It makes me nuts! Also, there's a classic New Rule bomb so bad he gets pissed at the audience.

    Real Time s24e21 - I Think She Found This Healing?!? feat Emma Arnold

    Hey, I really appreciate all the support on Patreon, HOWEVER if you want to support me (or really anybody) on there, don't use the God damned Apple app. I think they're bringing their weird massive fees back in because a court is letting? I don't know, just subscribe through a web browser. That's your best option anyway, because if you join through the app it doesn't automatically add you to the Discord. IT'S FUCKING INFURIATING. Very early guest Emma Arnold OF THE HAWAII TRIP returns two years later to talk about modern day Maher. She had to spend time with him in 2017, she watched an episode of his show from 2003, and now she's watching another episode of his show from this very day. She also brings some helpful perspective as the mother of three large adult sons because one of the topics on the panel is men... why can't we as a culture help those poor guys out? Like, the loneliness epidemic: is it just for boys? Also, jokes that are technically better than usual but delivered with absolutely no confidence. Please be aware that there's some echo on Emma's audio track because I'm a stupid piece of shit and literally went "I'm sure it's fine" and now it's making me nuts the entire edit. So, uh, I don't know... deal with it????? Also there's less editing on this episode than usual because I am absurdly behind on almost everything to do with the show.

    Club Random: Bill Maher Talks to Kids! - 70 Year Old Perverts Say the Darndest Things feat Lucy Valentine

    It's so crazy to put an exclamation mark at the end of "Bill Maher Talks to Kids" if that exclamation mark is not also followed by a question mark, another exclamation mark, and then a series of skull emojis. Now, you may be looking at the title and thinking "Wait, didn't Will already talk about 'Talks too Kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!' back when it first came out? And you're correct, I did. But it was early in the podcast, I hadn't keyed in to just how much of this thing was weird and/or reprehensible, and I also was like "A guest. A guest should also experience this. So I had Boonta Vista co-host Lucy Valentine join me to talk about this, essentially her first encounter with Bill Maher ever, and I gotta say... I think she really enjoyed. OR PERHAPS THAT'S A LIE! Who's to say? Her, I guess. I'll be honest; my heart really isn't in writing this episode description at... 11:33pm. HOWEVER that makes it thematically appropriate because Bill Maher put in zero effort here, and ends up generating no conversation of substance over three different pairs of kids. I guess during the second one he briefly turns into Lou Dobbs, but other than that it's all "How old are you?" "What grade are you in?" "What do you want to be when you grow up?" and perhaps also... "For Hamas"!!!!!!!! This episode is genuinely almost entirely making fun of an old guy who thinks he's being really funny. If you've ever found yourself thinking "I like that podcast but I get upset hearing so much vile shit come out of that man's mouth" and you can stomach two incidents of transphobia, this is the one for you, baby. I also think I mention Australia too much for the first half of the episode. I don't know why I did that, I think I was kind of nervous to record with someone I didn't know while I'm so physically exhausted (babies HATE to teethe). I probably didn't need to include this in the episode description. Also I was practically eating my mic so the sound is kind of distorted for my liking. I don't know, man, I'm really just ready to go to bed.

    Club Random: Patrick Bet-David - You Must Prepare For a Slippery Little Devil feat Dan Friesen

    Listen, right off the top, I gotta say that the audio edit is not up to snuff, in my opinion. I just didn't have tim1! There's so much going on! I had to leave in the kinds of um and uhs and interruptions and sputterings (all mine) that normally I would take out. But listen, thankfully I have a real pro at the "I Hate This One Specific Guy" podcast game: podcaster Dan Friesen. Now, when we were picking an episode to do, Dan was really excited to see Bill Maher get fucking wasted, but do you know what? He doesn't. He doesn't even really get high. AND I was looking forward to Patrick Bet-David being an absolute maniac, and we didn't really get any of that, either. In fact, I would say this episode of Club Random was a F-U-C-K-I-N-G D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R. ROCK BOTTOM chemistry, and yet I think Dan and I had quite a lot of fun with it, so FUCK YOU Bill Maher and Club Random; try to fuck up my podcast with your unbelievably bad Club Random episode. Eat shit. We made it work. Also, we talk a lot about how insane PBD is, and sort of mention some of his more detestable beliefs, but straight up he's a really bad guy. I want to make sure that's on the record here.

    Overtime Part 4 - Now Bill Maher's Scoring Off Me, Oh, That is it! feat Eoin Higgins

    Hey, sorry the episode is so late, the dang baby is doing sleep regression ah ha ha Oh, you thought regular Real Time was so bad that there's no way there could be more? Well FUCK. YOU. Welcome to Overtime, perhaps television's most inessential extra TV show (the most essential? Extra.) That's right, during Real Time's hiatus I am pulling the Overtime coverage off of the Patreon and into the main feed, and joining me here is genuine expert on Real Time Overtime, Eoin Higgins. He knows stuff about it that I did not! That's... I mean, it's fucked. It's really insane to think that there are people who are like "Did you know this about Bill Maher?" and I of all people respond with "...no?" The specific episodes we watched were episodes 15, 16, 17, 18, and 20 from season 24. None of them were longer than thirteen minutes, and yet they all find at least one way to be deeply irritating.

    Real Time s24e20 - Don't Ask Me I'm Just a Girl/Larry Wilmore feat Francesca Fiorentini

    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCKKKKKK YOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU LARRYYYYYYYYYYY WILMOOOOOOOOOOOORRRREEEEEEEEEE Francesca Fiorentini returns to the show and I get insanely pissed off at Larry Wilmore. She's also watching footy, but does an impressive job of paying attention to both. She lived in Argentina for a while so I felt like culturally it would've been wrong to raise any objection about it. Also, you can hear her start to get tired just as I'm starting to really lose my shit. That's what makes me such a great host, baby. Don't message me to say I put in a clip of the Raptors winning the East semi-finals and not the NBA finals I AM AWARE. Also I'm pretty sure I left that one writer's name uncensored again, first one to email me when it is receives a PRIZE.

    Real Time s24 e19 - Sucking You Off for $$$ Cuz I Didn't Go to College feat Christie Bahna

    Guess if I'm going to complain about the gain on my mic being set way too high!!!!!!! (yes) Fuck man, it's making me insane editing this thing. Anyway, the episode is late this week because I'm frantically finishing up stuff for I Hate Bill Maher Live, this Saturday June 27th at 9:30pm. River Butcher is a last minute replacement, he's great, we're very happy about that. But for this episode that you're either listening to, about to listen to, or preparing to listen to later, we've got returning guest Christie Bahna, who long time listeners will recall was called a "c word" by one of Bill Maher's writers years ago. She's back to witness a diminished man, a sad, frail creature, unaware or unwilling to accept just how greatly his skills have slipped from his grasp. I understand you don't grasp skills, but it's like 12:20 and I'm trying to knock this thing out relatively quickly. This is a classic episode where the panel is relatively inoffensive, which gives Bill Maher a lot of room to stretch his legs and really suck shit. Also, no Euphoria spoilers are in this episode.

    Real Time s24e17 - Pride (Not That Kind) feat Katie Page

    Man, Graham Platner comes up a lot in this one. I'm also not sure if I specifically mention there's no midshow comedy bit in this episode, but there's not. My old friend and comedian Katie Page joined the show this week to talk Real Time season 24, episode 17. It was... quite dull. The one on one interview is infuriating, and one of the panelists is a bad panelist. What a booking job! Support I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

    Real Time s24e16 - Just Because it's Been 100 Episodes Doesn't Mean I'll Reopen the Judgement Free Question Zone feat Diego McCafferty

    Get tickets to I Hate Bill Maher Presents: The Samuel Langhorne Clemens Award for Excellence in Receiving the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor here Hello, and welcome to the 100th episode of I Hate Bill Maher. I'd call this episode uncensored and uncut, but my guest Diego McCafferty kept saying his address on the show so I had to spend a day and a half making sure I didn't miss of them. Other than that, this thing is filled with the type of unrelated to Bill Maher bull shit that I normally edit out of an episode, only there was way more of it. We're unmedicated! It's not our fault! A mere three days out from the California Primaries, we watched Real Time season 24, episode 16. Diego tried to quit talking about it multiple times, and all things considered the episode was pretty unremarkable in how absolutely low effort everything was, including the bottom of the barrel guests. Look, I'm finally done editing it and it truly is just sprawling and completely unfocused, which is something I would normally never let happen in an episode but this is 100 and also it's impossible to have any other kind of conversation with Diego. Oh, and also at the very end of the episode he started waving his mic around like a maniac, so that's what all the mechanical noise is.

    Real Time s18e9 - Live! From a Pervert's Mansion! It's Retraumatizing Memories! feat Monika Scott and Emily Faye

    I got the new poster done so I can start promoting properly but come and see I Hate Bill Maher LIVE in Los Angeles California on June 27th at 9:30 pm aka the pervert hour. Get tickets here Real Time season 24 has taken a break this week, so in its place I have decided to take my guests Monika Scott (new!) and Emily Faye (returning!) from the Medium Literate Podcast down a horrible, horrible stroll through memory lane. I'm not going to give it away here (even though you can probably guess) and oh boy, we were all so fucking afraid! Bill Maher adjusts to a new way of doing comedy, multiple celebrities are interviewed with varying levels of audio quality, and we get a weird little peek inside Bill Maher's home. Also, Monika put consideration into the judgement free question zone to such a degree that I had to edit out stretches of thoughtful silence.

Get Tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/i-hate-bill-maher-live-tickets-1989800116713 Look, I know it's pretty rich coming from me given what this whole show is, but I resent having current events analyzed by some fucking pop history podcaster who has a show called "History's Greatest Fails". Like, be fucking serious!!! This week, Jeremy Appel returns to experience new Maher, and he insults the History's Greatest Fails guy by calling him "unctuous", something I was unaware was an insult and that I assumed was like just for food. The one on one interview IS good this week. I haven't seen Ben McKenzie's doc, but I read Easy Money and it's really good. Honestly, you should read it, too.

    Real Time s24e13 - People Used to Shoot Each Other in the Ass, Now They Just Watch YouTubes feat Molly Ruben-Long

    I'll be honest: not my best Judgement Free Question Zone. Comedian Molly Ruben-Long this week joins the show this week to establish herself as probably my most high guest so far, and also what it was like being a New Atheist (TM!!!!) and slowly realizing, oh, these guys are assholes. Then we get into a pretty miserable Real Time episode that ends with Bill Maher proudly and angrily being an incredibly stupid asshole. Also, if I sound a little low energy at first I wanted to make sure I didn't spook her dog until she got used to me. Also I get very pro-smoking towards the end, but don't smoke it's gross. Oh and also spoilers for Training Day, the film where Ethan Hawke plays John Training Day. Follow Molly on Instagram Support I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
