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 - "...

Real Time s2e19 - Conservative/Volcano/Conservative 4 hour 3sum feat Kate Willett

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!

Real Time s2e16 - The Being Right is the Same Thing as Being Funny Problem feat Andrea More

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.

Real Time s2e15 - Macho George Bush, Hugging Like a Woman feat Al Worth

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...

Real Time s2e12 - Pissed Bill and the Case of the Unguarded Chemical Plants feat Janie Haddad Tompkins

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...

Real Time s23e1 - Looting DEI from my Woke Fire Department feat John Hastings

It's technically still Thursday on the West Coast, so I did in fact get this up on time. FIRST RETURN MAIN FEED GUEST!!! John Hastings is back, and we're looking at not old Maher, but NEW Maher. Real Time is back in the midst of the Los Angeles wild fires, and he's talking to sleepy Larry Wilmore, and the comms director for America's wormiest Dad and a serial rapist about them! Bill Maher doesn't know shit! The comms director doesn't know shit! Larry Wilmore needs a nap! But if you thought two m...

Real Time s2e10 - How Many Polish People Does it Take to Write a Better Comedy Show Than This? feat No One

Due to exhaustion and the psychic toll of having your home city lose the equivalent of 2 1/2 Manhattans to wild fires, I really shit my pants on getting this episode ready and finally just accepted that I'd have to go this road alone and, well, here we are. It ended up being an absolutely brutal decision, because I was forced to endure that smarmy fuck David Frum all on my own. God bless, and I'll spend the next two weeks getting back to a normal release schedule. Support I Hate Bill Maher on Pa...

So, I fucked up recording the audio for this episode and thankfully my guest, Gita Jackson (writer, podcast) bailed me out, so the whole episode is thankfully here. It's a good episode! They were a great guest! They talk about their parents' longtime viewership of a guy they don't really agree with, and then we hypothesize about the weird audio issues that this episode of Real Time had. They were WEIRD, man. Also, the panel features an absolute world class asshole. Fuck man. Unbelievably annoyin...

Real Time s2e8 - The Privatization of Social Security by the Coward Bill Maher feat James Fritz

Just to get it out of the way, there is some mild mic cable rattling in this episode, I'm going to find a good solution to that so it stops happening. ANYWAY, fresh off of recording hjs album/special, comedian James Fritz was the show's SPECIAL GUEST this week, and it was nice to have an old Politically Incorrect head on the show. We talked about Bill Maher's foray into fiction, his weird homophobia, and also the saving grace that was Martin Short. Also, one of the show's worst ever guests appea...

Real Time s2e7 - The Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde of Talking about Gay People feat Vera Drew

Writer/actor/director Vera Drew is my guest this week, and wow wow wow she and I may have witnessed the maximum amount of homophobia a person can do while still advocating for the rights of gay people (sort of). Also, we realize there's a common denominator in how people are introduced to Bill Maher, are frustrated by Bill Maher's willingness to let his ideological opponents define the framework of their debates, and bear witness to a moment of shocking religiousness from the host himself.
