I Hate Bill Maher

No episode this week since it is literally Christmas Day, but please enjoy a little holiday message from my self and some past I Hate Bill Maher guests.Support I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon here. Bill Maher's got a new comedy special coming out on January 10th and you'd better fuckin' believe we're going to talk about it. Plus, Club Random coverage, old Politically Incorrect episodes, and more!One time he went on a 25 year old's podcast and got mad because the host tried to get him to play "Marry, Fuck, Kill" with three men. He said "No gay shit!" completely sincerely.DECEMBER 25th UPDATE: Now includes John Cullen's contribution

This is a preview of an episode of I Especially Hate Bill Maher. In it, Mike Carrozza and I talk about Bill Maher's most recent HBO special, "#Adulting". Get the full version, as well as plenty of other sick shit, by supporting I Hate Bill Maher here.

This week, Bill Maher dedicated fully half of his panel discussion time to talking about Black issues; it was as smooth sailing and easy to watch as you'd expect, and comedian and writer Lisa Curry was who had to endure it with me. She's another person with experience writing for these kinds of political comedy shows, let's see if she thinks this is a top notch quality program! Also, if you don't enjoy hearing Bill Maher be moderate-to-highly blase about sexual violence, be warned that there is an incredibly stupid brief discussion about it towards the end of the episode. Also, the episode art is the clearest screencap of Bill Maher's outfit that I could get, but there are the pinstripes on pinstripes if you want to see them.Follow Lisa on Instagram hereSupport the show on Patreon here

Oh baby, put away the leftovers and get ready to be ungrateful for 364 days, because Thanksgiving is over and a new episode of I Hate Bill Maher is here! Podcaster/Writer LB Hunktears joined the show to talk about an episode of Real Time that never once threatened to crack the list of "most difficult to watch episodes", even though it opened with an absolutely MYSTIFYING opening "sketch".Also, if anyone cares to, please make a note for me to really keep track of whether or not Bill Maher says "I'm Rick James, bitch" in 2008.Wishlist Fledgling Manor on SteamSupport I Hate Bill Maher on PatreonEmpty Heaven does some of the music for the show, check them out here

This is a preview of an episode of I Especially Hate Bill Maher. In it, I talk about an episode of the Skinny Confidential Him & Her Show podcast that Bill Maher appeared on. Get the full version, as well as plenty of other sick shit, by supporting I Hate Bill Maher here.

First of all, I forgot my windscreens, so sorry if that sort of noise makes you nuts. Second, long time friend Caitlin Ackerman joined me as we took a look at Real Time season 2, episode 4. I think mostly what happened is that it made her feel really old, and then by the end of the episode she is fully over it. And who could blame her!Follow Caitlin as she creates her archive hereSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon here

Okay, so I had two possible episode descriptions in mind for this, and here's the first one: This week, I see if Bill Maher is capable of reckoning with the fact that he got the election spectacularly wrong by watching the first Real Time episode post 2024 election, which is season 22, episode 34. I'm not going to spoil anything that happens here, except that I got so mad while recording this that my normally unnoticeable hernia started really bothering me. I'm very deflated by the end, whoops!Here's the second description I had in mind:"I sent Uncle Mac’s thumb-buster and badge over to the Rangers. Put up in a museum. Your daddy ever tell you how Uncle Mac come to his reward? Gunned down on his own porch over in Hudspeth County. Seven or eight of ’em come up to here. Wantin’ this and wantin’ that. Uncle Mac went back in the house and got the shotgun, they was way ahead of him. Shot him in the doorway. Aunt Ella came out and tried to stop the bleedin’. Uncle Mac all the while tryin’ to get that shotgun. They just sat there on their horses watchin’ him die. After a while, one of ’em says somethin in Injun and they all turned and left out. Well, Uncle Mac knew the score even if Aunt Ella didn’t. Shot through the left lung. And that was that. As they say.""When did he die?""1909.""No, I mean was it right away or in the night or when was it?""I believe it’s that night. She buried him the next mornin’. Diggin’ in that hard old caliche. What you got ain’t nothin new. This country is hard on people. You can’t stop what’s comin’. Ain’t all waitin’ on you. That’s vanity."

Comedian/all the related attributes of doing comedy Steve Hernandez joined the show to talk about Real Time season 2, episode 3, literally one day before the 2024 presidential election, which barely even comes up. Steve talks about his love of blowhards, realizing qualities he once thought were good might actually be not as good, and then finally an episode of Real Time that, if I'm being honest, I really struggled to get through. Sean Astin makes no sense, Larry Miller is... fuck, man. I can't handle him. The most surprising thing about the whole thing was the revelation that Patty Duke is Sean Astin's mom, which I didn't even actually hear until I was pulling clips for the edit.Go to the ChatterboxSupport the show on Patreon here
