I Hate Bill Maher

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 the show's host, and a Republican fro...

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 doing that very throaty whine that ...

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 warning on here for talk of child...

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 was, too say the least, quite bad....

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 Father, and the moment when you...

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 would handle Bill Maher's particular pe...

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, things take a sharp turn STRAIGHT D...

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 down there. Guests will resume next w...

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 generally, and Stern specifically tha...

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 literally hear the energy slowly d...

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 life encounter with someone Bill M...

I guess I should put a content warning on here since there is so much flippantly expressed approval for statutory rape.

Look, while the guest this week, comedy/organizer Nato Green is great, the episode Real Time really is not. Before we get to that, Nato tells me about how one Comedy Central exec making the worst of three possible choices in the mid 90's created the horrific future that we now live in (when it comes to Bill Mah...

A tendon in my wrist is fucked up or this would've been done and posted on time.

This week on the pod! Guest Ellory Smith (comedian, writer... FOR TELEVISION) joins me in person so you KNOW my cat took the opportunity to derail the podcast by seeking attention from a new woman that has entered our apartment. ALSO! We discuss not the absurd frequency with which people frequently get our names wrong, but also Real Time season 3, e...

So, to start, this was recorded before wacky Israel began attempting to start World War III by going psycho mode on Iran. so don't expect any references to said deeply upsetting world events.

Before Bill Maher started singing the "ageism is the last allowable form of discrimination in America" tune, he had episodes like this where he takes like nine shots at the now Queen Consort Camilla for being a nasty old sack of shit. He al...

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?!...

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 ...

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 Sulliv...
