I Hate Bill Maher

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...

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 h...

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. Did you kn...

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 episod...

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 1...

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 list...

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 riva...

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 ma...

Really annoying panelist on this week's episode. This week's guest is Megan Koester, a comedian and writer so proficient at hating people that THE NEWS has written about it.

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...

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...

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...

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 homophob...

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! O...

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 o...

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".

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...

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...

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 here Support I Hate...

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...

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,...

Comedian/long time friend Jane Harrison joined the show talk about Real Time season 2, episode 2. I know this episode is very late, but I have several excuses, all of which vary in quality. What's important is that this episode features the single best panelist the show has had so far, and also God damned David Frum. Fuckin' Canadians, man... This one is a little less focused than normal, right do...
