I Hate Bill Maher

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.Follow Christie hereSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

UPDATE: I forgot to put in an audio clip towards the end of the episode, that's been corrected.The new season continues to trudge on, and this week writer Parker Molloy joins the show for a third straight week of Bill Maher conducted Epstein files talk! She's a great guest, but listen; some weeks writing this description is harder than others, because it's just like, yeah, this guy sucks ass and this show is bad. I think we do a pretty good job of making fun of it, but if you've listened to the show before, you know that. Are there any surprises or anything to tease? Here's the thing: this week, there is. The final minute of the final New Rule does such a shock one eighty quality-wise that we were both truly stunned by it. You'll be shock, I swear to God...I haven't mentioned the show's stings being the work of Empty Heaven in a while, but their going viral for wholesome wife guy shit reminded me that I should.

That's right, God of Emperor of Turn Mountain Will Weldon is back in the hosting chair (it's my wife's desk chair, which she will probably want back once she's back at work) to talk about the season 24 premiere of Real Time with Bill Maher. My guest this week? Writer, Comedian, and... pottist? Potterist? Pottery maker? Eliza Skinner. Eliza is immediately displeased with me for having her watch a modern episode, and then we are immediately confronted with the sub-punchlines of a monologue that mostly just feel like a guy saying stuff. But what of the actual political content of the show, you ask? Well, he sort of manages to be displeased with ICE, but his both sides obsession immediately takes over and, I'll admit it even just here in the episode discussion, I think the lack of acknowledgement of the bravery and patience and fortitude of the people of Minnesota fighting an illegal government paramilitary group sent to terrorize them is genuinely outrageous and offensive. God this guy's a fucking prick! Also, Eliza comes in hot with a new take on Bill Maher's sexuality.In all sincerity, thanks so much for the kind words from everyone about the birth of my child, who has already been cast in the freaking sequel to It's Alive, folks!!!!! Also, thank you to all the guest hosts for helping me out, they all did even better than I'd hoped and I would've gone insane without them.Primary Photo Credit for the episode art: Ben Hovland | MPR (Minnesota Public Radio)Go buy some pottery from ElizaSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
