Real Time s24e16 - Just Because it's Been 100 Episodes Doesn't Mean I'll Reopen the Judgement Free Question Zone feat Diego McCafferty
Summary
In their 100th episode, hosts Will Weldon and Diego McCafferty embark on a thorough, often exasperated, critique of a recent Real Time with Bill Maher episode. They delve into Maher's dated monologue jokes, his bizarre interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson about aliens and anal probes, and the panel's politically incoherent discussions. The hosts also reflect on the podcast's philosophy, the nature of comedy, and the psychic toll of engaging with content that feels so profoundly disconnected from shared human experience.Episode description

Hello, and welcome to the 100th episode of I Hate Bill Maher. I'd call this episode uncensored and uncut, but my guest Diego McCafferty kept saying his address on the show so I had to spend a day and a half making sure I didn't miss of them. Other than that, this thing is filled with the type of unrelated to Bill Maher bull shit that I normally edit out of an episode, only there was way more of it. We're unmedicated! It's not our fault! A mere three days out from the California Primaries, we watched Real Time season 24, episode 16. Diego tried to quit talking about it multiple times, and all things considered the episode was pretty unremarkable in how absolutely low effort everything was, including the bottom of the barrel guests. Look, I'm finally done editing it and it truly is just sprawling and completely unfocused, which is something I would normally never let happen in an episode but this is 100 and also it's impossible to have any other kind of conversation with Diego. Oh, and also at the very end of the episode he started waving his mic around like a maniac, so that's what all the mechanical noise is.
Go see what Diego is up to here and go to Rex Ubu in June
