Comedian Jono Zalay joins the podcast just in time to experience something I was absolutely dreading: the hurricane Katrina episodes. That's right, one of the great tragedies and disasters in American history has arrived. While it's maybe not the best thing for the podcast, it's definitely easier on my brain that at least for now Bill Maher is extremely angry about it, and for the right reasons reasons and at the right people, but that doesn't mean there wasn't some weird and/or annoying shit at work here, especially on just a basic hosting skill level.

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.

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 would.

It pleases me to see my enemies in such a diminished state.

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 existence of aliens, and there ended up being a lot of mechanical noise because we got so worked up that we ended up waving the mics around wildly.

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.

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 Barkley was good enough that we both wished he had been on the panel proper. God, why are there so many fucking jokes about Michael Jackson? Who was this woman on the panel? She's such a mysterious booking!!!
