About this episode

Will Weldon and guest Molly Ruben-Long discuss a recent episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, touching on themes of atheism and media criticism.

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.
