This week on I Hate Bill Maher returning guest Francesca Fiorentini and I watched a very specific episode of Real Time for a very specific reason... I might be overselling how special either of those things are. Watch both and future episodes of Francesca's show, The Bitchuation Room, here Support I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

In an I Hate Bill Maher first, returning guest Caron Clancey (writer/director/ORGANIZER!!!) watches the latest episode of Real Time LIVE! AS IT AIRED (sort of, I paused it like seventy five times.) Bill Maher is weirdly dismissive of the whole Jeffrey Epstein thing, Scott Galloway believes in individual solutions to societal problems, and Josh Barro honestly bothers me a lot less than I thought he...

Man oh man this guy has completely lost the plot, I swear to GOD dude. Jane Harrison returns to watch the latest episode of Real Time, which I unfortunately felt compelled to talk about because Marjorie Taylor Greene was on it. However, in a truly bizarre twist of fate, she was nowhere near the most unhinged part of the show because we got to hear Bill Maher talk about his deep, deep belief in the...

Writer and podcaster Jesse Hawken joins me this week to talk about being a decades long Bill Maher hater, and then Bill Maher on this episode of Real Time validates that belief system by doing an all time rude reverential interview with Cindy Sheehan. Plus! a real yelling man heavy panel with V, Dan Savage, and *groans* Mike Huckabee. Listen to Junk Filter Support I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Host...

Comedian and podcaster Patrick Monahan is my guest this week and his first ever full episode of Real Time reminds him of just how casually cruel the 00's were, and we also witness a startlingly lazy and uninspired panel performance from a generationally important comedian.

Yeah yeah yeah, it's late, I don't know, I got a lot goin' on, GET OFF MY BACK!!!! Look man, myself and my friend comedian Emily Faye (returning guest, if you are a Patreon subscriber) watched another episode of this dumb ass show and it was sort of startlingly unremarkable. Gore Vidal was funny for reasons both intentionally and not, Al Franken got off a good joke at the end there, and Charles Ba...

PATREON EPISODE UNLOCKED: Comedian/Big time comedy fan rejoins the podcast to watch his 2022 HBO special #Adulting. In-between our overall complaints, I highlight some specifically terrible jokes, in addition to one joke I actually liked, and Mike gives Bill Maher notes as if he were his stand-up teacher. EDITED 12/1/2024 Added the intro, which I forgot to do upon initial upload Darren Knight eati...

Journalist Mel Buer joins the show to bear witness to the glory of America's forever culture war! Mel was not especially familiar with Bill Maher coming into this but brother you better believe she'll be thinking about him for a LONG time after! A panel from Hell, Real Time bottom of the barrel bingo, and the obscenely difficult struggle of trying to come to terms with the fact that a guy who suck...

I know, it's late, sorry I'm not perfect!!! The first 45 minutes the audio is kind of janky due to my assuming Streamyard wouldn't just suddenly change up my settings for no reason, but here is a very fun episode with writer and illustrator Mattie Lubchansky. As the result of having an extremely long commute early in her career, Mattie may be in the top five guests when it comes to how much Real T...

Older men loved to introduce millennial women to Real Time with Bill Maher! Women don't dip! Rachel Fisher from the Hollywood Crime Scene podcast joins me to talk about gender TRUTHS and REALITIES! Actually, we primarily talk about Real Time season 3, episode 9. Bill Maher sets a personal record for women over 25 that he's openly attracted to in one episode (two), a panelist has a smug off with th...

Classic episode of Real Time here, and by that I mean it was so boring my guest and I literally hard a hard time finding things to talk about, outside of the midshow comedy bit and the final two minutes of panel discussion. Who was that guest, you ask? Why, it was comedian Brandie Posey, and also thankfully we were given a brief reprieve from the episode by her eighteen year old dog waking up and...

THIS IS A PREVIEW OF THE PATREON EXCLUSIVE EPISODE OF "I ESPECIALLY HATE BILL MAHER" We just ended up recording for too long for me to get this thing out with only like a six hour turnaround, so here is Woody Allen on Club Random, one day late, featuring actual Woody Allen fan (but not defender, don't worry) Andrea More. Obviously, given who the Club Random guest is, I simply must slap a content w...

It may be two days late, but it was all worth it because this week on the podcast I am joined by David Roth (a co-founder of Defector Media, as well as a host of The Distraction) to talk about having always had Bill Maher just sort of around, in the periphery, kind of bothering you at a low level all the time. Then we get into Real Time season 3, episode 7, and both remember a time in culture that...

I have no idea why I kept banging on my mic arm, but not much I can do about it now! This week the show takes look into the past, but way less of the past than normal, when I am joined by writer/TV PhD haver Laura Langlade to talk about Real Time, season 13, episode 20, and episode whose taping SHE LITERALLY ATTENDED. Before that, we talk about Bill Maher as a way to bond with your politics knower...

Real Time returns after a five week hiatus and THIS is what we get?!?! Podcaster and journalist Alex Goldman was my guest this week, and not only was this his first ever full episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, but it was also one of the most uninspired episodes of television I personally have ever seen. We talk about Alex's fairly low level of Maher familiarity, some questions about how he woul...

Heads up: this episode is NOT covering the most recent episode of Real Time, that episode will be out next week due to a scheduling error on my part. Instead, you're getting next week's episode this week, which is great because writer Eoin Higgins, the man who had to endure the post-White House Dinner Episode™ is back, and this time he's getting a good look at Classic Maher™. As so often happens,...

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 do...

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 gener...

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 li...

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...
