I Hate Bill Maher

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 hereReal 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.Listen to Medium LiterateSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon00:00 - Intro1:46 - Bill Maher News2:02 - Questions17:44 - Real Time Recap1:37:14 - New Rules1:50:45 - Outro

Please I beg of you no more

There's another live I Hate Bill Maher happening on June 27th at the Lyric Hyperion in Los Angeles! Get Tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/i-hate-bill-maher-live-tickets-1989800116713Look, 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.Read and listen to The OrchardSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon

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...Listen to No HomeworkSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon

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 InstagramSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon

It's a lot more fun for me when someone else is having a bad time, too!Support I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon

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.Listen to Cancel my Daddy and follow Katelyn hereSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon

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!!!Buy Ella's book and listen to her podcastSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon
