Oh man, I am so fucking TIRED of listening to people talk about the fucking 2004 Kerry campaign! How did people know HOW BAD IT WAS for SO LONG and they NEVER EVER changed course! And WHY do the Democrats KEEP FUCKING DOING THIS?!?! FUCK! Anyway, comedian Andrea More joined the show this week to talk about Bill Maher as a gateway into politics, as well as Real Time season 2, episode 16. Did you know antidepressants are destroying our children? Well, neither does the panel, but they are extremely sure that that is the case anyway! Also, plenty of snoring dog in the background.I will not link to the Apple store but just try to remember to watch Stick on Apple TVSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon

Hey, how are you, this is a clip from a Patreon only episode of I Especially Hate Bill Maher. Support I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon.

I sort of never thought I would be talking so much on the show about the fucking Bush twins, but that was a fucking dumb thing for me to think, apparently! Anyway, this week I was joined by another absolute sicko, podcaster Al Worth.They've taken a break from debunking Russell Brand on their show, On Brand, to join ME on MY show, where we have a particularly difficult time enduring another episode of Andrew Sullivan being truly unbearable. We also spend some time trying to figure out whose show is a bigger tax on its host's ability to live and think as a normal human should. Also, the last ten minutes might sound a little different because I had to switch what source I used audio from. It's totally fine, it just might sound a little different. Oh, and if you're curious, the war games I reference are known as the "Millennium Challenge 2002". I'm not exaggerating! It's really what happened!Listen to On Brand hereSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon

THIS WEEK! Canadian journalist Jeremy Appel joins the show, and he let me indulge my perverse need to talk about Canadian politics as well as the news media up there (did I weasel a cheap shot at Winnipeg in there? Maaaaaaaybe). Eventually I let him talk a bit, and we got into how he would handle sharing both studio space AND a Slack with Bill Maher, before getting to Real Time season 2, episode 14. I'll be straight up: I hate Dana Rohrabacher, and he was on here, and I fucking hate him. And finally, shout out to Madonna, America's oldest woman.Read The Orchard hereSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon here

REUPLOAD: Okay, beyond the normal fucked up audio that's in this episode, the first upload had literally no audio??? Fucking hell, man...I'm not sure what happened with the audio this week, but all the files ended up fucked up in one way or another, so this episode suffers from being too quiet/not totally clear at various points. That stinks, because this was a fun one to do. It can still be listened to, I just try to have a standard that's a lot higher than this. Sorry I'm not PERFECT like YOU!!!!!THIS WEEK! I am joined on the podcast by writer/genuinely good guy Harry Waksberg, who brings with him a truly impressive knowledge of telelvision shos from many eras, good and bad. We talk about TV, his willingness to be kind to a stranger vs Bill Maher, and how much Bill Maher would he endure for someone he cares about. Then we get to the Real Time recap, and we get some real classic Real Time shit: a panel with no chemistry, Bill Maher being weirdly obsessed with something we can't imagine other people are bothered by, general casual homophobia, and we make the startling discovery that there may be an age appropriate woman that Bill Maher is horny for. Crazy, man. Crazy.He didn't plug anything, but some of Harry's writing about television is here and hereSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon

THIS WEEK ON THE POD! We're confronted with the shocking face of representative Kay Granger, pre-disappearance into an elder care center! Also, who's "we"? Why, it's none other than myself, and my guest Janie Haddad Tompkins (writer/actor/PODCASTER!!!), who refuses to take my bait as I try to get her to engage in some regional beefing between her home state of South Carolina, and their bitter rivals to the North, Montana (I'm Canadian I don't have to know American Geography). I am chided for having some soft no judgement questions for her, and then we get into the episode: Would you believe there is more ongoing talk of "seven minutes"? Would you be excited for the kick off to Swift Boat '04? What are your thoughts on unguarded chemical plants? Well... that stuff's all in the episode.Subscribe to Janie's Substack!Support I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon!Here's Ken Klippenstein's post about the tip from an airline pilotHere's the article from the Baffler about Cokie Roberts

Hello everyone, I'm doing that thing where a podcast takes a bye week (every week is a "bi week" in my apartment, heh heh... ha... ha) and just posts one of its Patreon episodes. Genuinely, I feel like an asshole for doing it, but I'm insanely behind on all the podcast stuff and then earlier today I fucked my throat up in the most embarrassing way possible, so I'm just going to take it easy and maybe learn to chew my food more thoroughly, a thing that typically only babies need to learn. Next week's episode WILL BE UP ON WEDNESDAY, and my guest is Janie Haddad Tompkins. After that it's writer Harry Waksberg, and then journalist Jeremy Appel, unless of course I somehow manage to get even more rice lodged in my esophagus, in which case I will end the podcast and go live in the woods, where I will eat nothing but a thin paste made from grinding up plant roots and mud.Anyway, enjoy this special episode of "I Especially Hate Bill Maher", originally released on October 4th, in which comedians Adam Christie and John Hastings join me to figure out which episode of Club Random was more humiliating for Bill Maher, Bella Thorne or Hawk Tuah Haliey Welch. Also, it turns out Haliey Welch's first name is not spelled "Hailey", which I am stunned to have only just discovered.

Really annoying panelist on this week's episode. This week's guest is Megan Koester, a comedian and writer so proficient at hating people that THE NEWS has written about it. Hope you like hearing the words" 7 minutes".Check out Grifthorse hereSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon
