I Hate Bill Maher

Preview of a Patreon exclusive episode. Subscribe and get the full thing here.

Comedian Sam Wiles joined the show to talk about whether or not he has, like me, concerns about having your creative works too associated with a guy you hate, then it's on to Real Time, season one, episode 18. It's not the smartest panel in the world, but they make up for it by being.... well, not very smart.Here's Sam being a man he hates as much as one person can hate another person.Feel free to support this show on Patreon.

I watched Real Time season 1, episode 17 all on my own, and man oh man, do I ever hate Bill Kristol. Lots of clips in this one; I get into the weeds on the quality and craftsmanship of the monologues jokes. Also, I changed my mind and did not include the clip from the DL Hughley Show, if you really want to you can watch it here.Join the Patreon here.

Man, what a bad panel this was. Comedian Rachele Friedland joins me to, you know, talk Bill Maher. She's a former fan, and I was so exhausted from watching like six hours of Bill Maher content over a few days that I made her psychoanalyze me to find out why I am doing this. The answer? I'm fucked up, dewd. We talked about Real Time season 1 episode 16, and in addition to an awful panel Rachele points out how totally lacking the show's comedy writing is when it comes to actual technique.When October 4th rolls around, check out Rachele's special on her Youtube channel, also listen to it on SpotifySupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon

Comedian and ~*COMEDY HISTORIAN*~ Mike Bridenstine joins the show, and he's bringing with him a familiarity with Bill Maher that dwarfs probably anybody else who's been on the show. He tells us about the experience of attending a Real Time taping AND the after party afterwards, then we really get into the weeds when it comes to Real time season 1, episode 15. It's pretty fucking racist, and don't worry, he also makes a ton of jokes about rape. Ha ha ha, God damn it!!!Get Mike's book hereHope on the show's Patreon here

Last week, Club Random with Bill Maher posted a "best of" compilation, and I watched it, and uh interesting definition of "best"...

The sound quality on this one is not good because I lost the high quality audio files and was stuck using the Zoom recording. I genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, do not understand what could've happened, but such is life. Anyway, this episode of Real time was a real dud, but that's okay (sort of) because our guest wasn't! Writer and comedian Pallavi Gunalan joined me, and she came in firmly on the "I have only seen bits and pieces of Maher but I hated all of it" side of things. A recent interview shows just how completely out of touch Bill Maher is with the city he calls home and supposedly loves is, plus questions, and a mid episode comedy sketch that's so inscrutable I... I just don't know, man. And all this headlined by a Real Time panel that has so little chemistry and flow that it genuinely seems like Bill Maher got annoyed and just ended the episode early.
