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.

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!

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.
Go see what Diego is up to here and go to Rex Ubu in June

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.

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.

Listen, you know John Fetterman's going to be bad. You can on some level prepare for that. But can you ever be prepared for how annoying Dan Crenshaw is? I wager if you asked returning guest Charles Star, he'd say no...

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.

Writer and podcaster Katelyn Burns joins me this week to get insanely annoyed with Rahm Emanuel. I'd say she and I both agree that we can't wait until we're a few months into the 2028 primaries so that this guy will have definitely, 100% been forced out of the conversation of who is truly viable to run for president. Like, give me a break with this shit, he's such an absolute loser. Oh, also I didn't put in the Worm of the Week music because I lost track of where it was in the episode.

Well, the episode is once again out on Thursday, not Wednesday. Because Will, Will never changes. Ella Dawson returns to the pod with her brain all filled up with Fallout New Vegas shit to talk about Real Time, season 24, episode 10. The episode features a panelist so loathed that another previous IHBM guest remarked "I don't think I can listen to this" (It's Douglas Murray). Well, whatever man, welcome to my fucking world! The panel is the first one all season where one panelist actually properly goes after the other one, which I guess is the closest you can get to satisfaction in this miserable world, and the interview guest is kind of fun, but man oh man, that last New Rule is absolutely REPELLANT. I'm not sure this episode description makes a lot of sense, but give me a break, okay, I'm doing my freaking best over here!!!

Real Time is off this week, so I am, too! But I guess actually not really, because I still did some house keeping and played some voicemails at the start of this. Looking back on it, I definitely would not describe it as "focused and to the point" but what are you gonna do, y'know? And after that? Oh baby, it's a compilation of clips from I Especially Hate Bill Maher's "Bella Thorne Month" series of episodes. You get to hear from Stefan Heck & John Cullen, Lisa Curry, Emily Faye, and Allen Strickland Williams, whom I all had watch the Bella Thorne Club Random episode and then talk about it with me. Looking back on it I'm kind of like "What the hell was I thinking?" but I enjoyed it a lot. They didn't, so mission accomplished on my end, I guess. But in all seriousness, all of them are some of the funniest people I know, and they all noticed things I somehow had not in my previous fifteen viewings of this thing.

Will I ever starr getting these things out on time again? Who can say, plus I'm a father now: no one can ask anything of me ever again.
Writer and podcaster Joe Kassabian joins the show to talk about a Real Time episode that's heavy on Iran war talk, so of course the guests are 1. A former CIA agent, 2. A CNN legal correspondent, and 3. The loudest, dumbest man in sports media. I drove my parents to the airport at 3am and recorded this upon arriving home at like 4:30, and two hours prior to driving my parents I was awoken by a drainage pipe cracking and water spraying into our bedroom. I honestly think my being able to keep my energy level up until the last five minutes of this episode is pretty impressive. Also, did you know the airports are a mess right now? I just hope they aren't bothering you too much!

This is probably the most mixed up I've ever been with the order of the clips, but what are you gonna do. Anyway, Writer and comedian Jeremy Kaplowitz is my guest this week, and he gets to view the current show through the lens of someone who once watched Real Time because that was sort of what you did as a liberal in college 14 or so years ago! How was Real Time? Well, if you enjoy watching one panel member be systematically humiliated and ignored, mmmm this is the episode for you!

This week's guest was jack of all trades Josh Boerman. There's so much garbage in this episode of Real Time that we talked about it for two hours and forty five minutes and I am currently thinking about all the shit we didn't get to, and yet somehow the whole show was insanely dull. What a mess, man, I can't believe this thing was on television. I don't even know what to say here.

Oopsie, I did a long one!
Comedian/Film connoisseur Lucé Tomlin-Brenner joins the podcast this week, and wow wow wow if you're Bill Maher I bet you loved this fuckin' episode of Real Time. It's all about him, baby! We honestly don't talk about the war with Iran stuff because there just isn't a ton to say about it other than "what a fucking disaster (does Bill Maher disagree? Perhaps...) but we get really hung up on joke logic and also his interview technique. And I come up with the one good pun I make a year.

Real Time is taking a little break this week, and since I am recovering from some family coming to visit I figured I would do the same by settling into the warm bath water of an old school Real Time episode. But how soothing is it REALLY? Answer: not so much. Andrew Sullivan is here! Also Ben Affleck, who will one day go on to become a Real Time legend. Plus, Bill Maher is lower energy than I remembered, and also treats a guest on the show about as badly as a talk show host could while not being in the same location as them.
