Club Random: Brian Tyler Cohen - I Have Standing to Go Down into the Mine

Look, this was supposed to just be essentially a mini episode to check up on what's been on Bill Maher's mind during his five months off, but I'm exporting the clips now and the file is almost twenty minutes long so clearly this is going to be much closer to a full episode. Really, I just want to know if and how much he will talk about Zohran. So I went down into the mine, and this was what was down there. Guests will resume next week.

BOONUS EPISODE PREVIEW - I Hope Those Two Crazy Kids Can Work Things Out feat Bryan Quinby (Bill Maher & Howard Stern)

THIS IS A PREVIEW OF THE PATREON EXCLUSIVE EPISODE OF "I ESPECIALLY HATE BILL MAHER" Due to scheduling issues, I am forced to pause Bella Thorne on Club Random month (I assure you: this was my fault) so instead here is an analysis of Bill Maher and Howard Stern's relationship, released early than originally intended. I honestly could not think of anyone with a deeper knowledge of shock jocks generally, and Stern specifically than longtime podcaster Bryan Quinby, so thank God he said yes to doing...

HBO Presents "Don't You Hate Queer Kids?" feat Mike Carrozza & Kyle Ayers

Alt title: "Is anyone else seeing this? Well, don't." Other alt title: "Is anyone else lying about 'supporting trans people' to such an absurd degree?" <-Consider this a TW First time guest Kyle Ayers and multi time guest Mike Carrozza (comedians, the lot of them) join the podcast to talk about the 2025 HBO comedy special "Is Anyone Else Seeing This?" which is truly, TRULY atrocious. You can literally hear the energy slowly drain out of the guests as the episode goes on, to where they go from...

Real Time s3e5 - I Would've Preferred Fewer Murdered Wife Jokes feat Christie Bahna

I swear to God, I am trapped in some sort of bizarre punishment loop where I am forced to listen to Bill Maher complain about how the media doesn't talk about the important issues, followed by him talking about the exact same stupid shit he's mad at the media for talking about. Am I insane?! Is this not ridiculous behavior?! Anyway, comedian Christie Bahna joined the show this week. She had a real life encounter with someone Bill Maher adjacent. Guess if it was good of bad... Also, the writer re...

Real Time s3e4 - An Unending Stream of Jokes About Real Life Violence feat Nato Green

I guess I should put a content warning on here since there is so much flippantly expressed approval for statutory rape. Look, while the guest this week, comedy/organizer Nato Green is great, the episode Real Time really is not. Before we get to that, Nato tells me about how one Comedy Central exec making the worst of three possible choices in the mid 90's created the horrific future that we now live in (when it comes to Bill Maher, anyway), and all the ways that Bill Maher does the polar opposit...

Real Time s3e3 - Aggregate Toxicity vs The Dippiest Twit feat Ellory Smith

A tendon in my wrist is fucked up or this would've been done and posted on time. This week on the pod! Guest Ellory Smith (comedian, writer... FOR TELEVISION) joins me in person so you KNOW my cat took the opportunity to derail the podcast by seeking attention from a new woman that has entered our apartment. ALSO! We discuss not the absurd frequency with which people frequently get our names wrong, but also Real Time season 3, episode 3. It kind of feels like the second chapter in a two parter, ...

Real Time s3e2 - Getting my Ass Whipped by the "Protect Camilla Parker Bowles" Crew feat Chris Wade

So, to start, this was recorded before wacky Israel began attempting to start World War III by going psycho mode on Iran. so don't expect any references to said deeply upsetting world events. Before Bill Maher started singing the "ageism is the last allowable form of discrimination in America" tune, he had episodes like this where he takes like nine shots at the now Queen Consort Camilla for being a nasty old sack of shit. He also defends Mary Kay Letourneau... again! He's done it before! What t...

BONUS EIPSOIDE PREVIEW - This Is Howie Irritate You (Bill Maher on Howie Mandel Does Stuff) feat Jane Harrison

THIS IS A PREVIEW OF THE PATREON EXCLUSIVE EPISODE OF "I ESPECIALLY HATE BILL MAHER" You're not going to believe, but a famous comedian well past the peak of their fame has a podcast (I was never famous, do not try to own me with this). Bill Maher went on Howie Mandel's podcast, and despite Howie Mandel's best efforts Bill Maher just talks about the exact same shit he always talks about. What's the point of talking to this guy?! WHAT'S THE POINT OF THIS MAN?!?! Support I Hate Bill Maher on Patre...

Real Time s3e1 - I Sincerely Believe Men are Literally from Mars and Women are Literally from Venus feat Meg Mackay

Is Dennis Miller a sex symbol? Do you reach a certain age and then start becoming a teen again? Are you old if you remember someone's Dad putting cards into a satellite box? None of those questions are pressing, but they do get asked during this episode of I Hate Bill Maher, featuring comedian and writer Meg Mackay! Lately, I feel like the thing that's been breaking brains has been the horrible guests booked on Real Time, but this week we've got some real old fashioned, traditional Maher induced...

Real Time s2e23 - Waaaaah I'm Andrew Sullivan I'm a Big Stupid Crying Worthless Baby feat Caitlin Durante (Caitlin I'm Sorry)

Dude, you can just Google "Andrew Sullivan racist" and you'll get a bunch of people talking about it, I don't need to keep doing it. It's the season 2 finale of Real Time with Bill Maher, and a bad time was had by both myself and my guest, Comedian/Podcaster/Screenwriting EXPERT Caitlin Durante.This episode is actually pretty wild: Republicans have won, so you know that means they have to be big crybabies about it. Andrew Sullivan won't shut up, Alan Simpson goes sicko mode, and the previously u...

Real Time s2e22 - Crazy Quibi's Surplus Racism and Bad Comedy feat Matt Lieb

Lesbo lesbo lesbo! Can you even think of something funnier than just the IDEA of a lesbian?! Hahaha FUCKIN' HILARIOUS, RIGHT!??!!? Comedian and PODCASTER (I capitalized it because he's got a few of them) Matt Lieb joins the podcast this week, and boy oh boy, this was a real up and down episode. The panel is actually kind of interesting, because while it's three liberals, it's three different kinds of liberals (including one guy who doesn't understand that he's a liberal, because he applies "cons...

Real Time s2e21 - Screaming "Do you Denounce Germ Theory!" Like I'm a CNN Host Talking to a Guest About Gaza feat Josh Gondelman

It's safe to pull your dicks and asses out, boys, we've got an all male panel! Comedian/writer Josh Gondelman is this week's guest, and we watched an absolutely BRUTAL interview. Like, there's lots in the episode aside from that, but I cannot stop thinking about this fucking interview Bill Maher did. God, he's the fucking worst.

Real Time s2e20 - Late Politically Real Night Time feat Caron Clancey

Dude, my cats were going NUTS during the first half of the recording. It simply was not dinner time, you fucks!!! Filmmaker and organizer CARON CLANCEY joined the show this week, and came in a very close second for "person on this specific episode who took the most notes on Real Time season 2, episode 20". We talked about trying to wrap your head around just what this guy's purpose is, his contempt for the gay people he supports, and how much he contributes to an intellectually satisfying panel ...

Maher v Rogan Sampler Pack

The episode that was supposed to come out this week is so massive that I simply couldn't get it done with the time I had available to me, so please enjoy this special compilation from the three Maher v Rogan episodes. For context, Maher v Rogan was judged on 5 categories, which were 1. Refusal to Back Down 2. Galaxy Brain 3. Least Annoying 4. Most Compelling 5. Big Doggin', and this episode contains the following: 2:14 - "Refusal to Back Down" from match one, featuring Diego McCafferty 25:56 - "...

Get tickets to I Hate Bill Maher Live! It's less than a week away! Come on man, there HAS TO HAVE BEEN SOMETHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT BESIDES THE FUCKING ELECTION! Well, there actually was, but unfortunately it was the most 2005 atheist shit of all time. I hunger for new content to complain about, please. Comedian Kate Willett joined me on the show; we talked more than usual about whether or not a lot of this material was transgressive at the time, how Bill Maher comes off then versus now, and jus...

BONUS EPOISODE PREVIEW - White House Dinner Defense Force - Pissy Bill Maher Sulks on "2 Angry Men"

THIS IS A PREVIEW OF THE PATREON EXCLUSIVE EPISODE OF "I ESPECIALLY HATE BILL MAHER" So, uh, I think Bill Maher might not have expected the extremely negative reaction his segment on having dinner with Trump at the White House got, because he went on Los Angeles Magazine & TMZ's joint podcast "2 Angry Men" to defend it, and also explain why he is actually maybe the bravest guy in America. It's absolute LOSER shit. Support I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy fo...

Real Time s23e11 - you do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to Hitler for loving dogs feat Eoin Higgins

Get tickets for I Hate Bill Maher Live! I'll cut to the chase: It's a current day Real Time recap, and this fucking rube Bill Maher is at maybe his most credulous as he gives his "book report" on having dinner at the White House with Donald Trump. But the episode doesn't just feature that, oh no: there's a one on one with STEVE BANNON, and then an absolutely pathetic and hateful appearance by Piers Morgan, plus another guy who seems broadly okay-to-good, depending on the issue. Now, you're proba...

Real Time s2e18 - Going Back in Time to Invent the 100 Thousand Dollar Bar feat David Tveite

Get tickets to I Hate Bill Maher Live in Los Angeles California! I LIVE IN A FUCKING TIME LOOP, HEARING THE EXACT SAME THINGS EVERY GOD DAMN WEEK! FUCK!!! Here to ground me during my fits is comedian David Tveite, who has a very roundabout way of how he became familiar with Bill Maher. The actual episode of Real Time has some actually kind of impressive production values in service of almost nothing, but I guess I should appreciate it if they bother to go through the effort of getting a guest st...

Club Random: Kid Rock Rhan Dau gyda Al Worth

As a special birthday treat to me, the show is taking a break from Real Time to talk about a recent episode of Club Random: Kid Rock THE RETURN!!!!! Was this originally meant to be a Patreon bonus episode? Maaaaaaybe! But anyway, as someone who also assuredly has brain damage from their podcast, I thought it was apt for Al Worth ("On Brand") to join me, and we waste no FUCKIN' TIME getting into it. We are WOWED by the chemistry between these two old friends, STUNNED by the ease with which they s...

Real Time s2e17 - BM Heart MD feat Brodie Reed

Live from his childhood bedroom, comedian Brodie Reed joins the podcast to look back on his Maher induced political awakening, as well as his further political education induced Maher hatred. Real Time itself is pretty low stakes, since there are two comedy legends and a woman who seems so relaxed you half expect her to fall asleep, but that wouldn't be a very safe thing to do because Bill Maher has it for her BAD!

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.

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 ...

Real Time s2e14 - God Journalist Maher and His Very Powerful Questions feat Jeremy Appel

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 fin...

Real Time s2e13 - Getting Olympic Level Horny at the Breakfast Table Twice Weekly feat Harry Waksberg

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 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).

UNLOCKED! Nasty Old Man vs Condescending Old Man (Who is Nasty) feat John Hastings and Adam Christie (Clubs Random w/ Bella Thorne & Hawk Tuah)

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 we...
