Real Time s24e27 - Shouting 100! Every Time I See Sydney Sweeney feat Gita Jackson 25.09.2026 2ч 1мин

Okay, well, this one's REAL LATE but you know what? It was worth it, because this week I welcomed returning guest Gita Jackson, who injects more fashion talk into the episode than has ever happened before? This Real Time has annoying guest after annoying guest, from a credulous AI moron, to a center right Dem, to one of modern day's most racist guys. And then there's Bill Maher, who's kind of all three of those! Got. His. Fucking. Ass.Plus, hey, you're not going to believe it but this episode also has an insanely nasty and vicious final New Rule. Go figure! Also, Bill Maher talks about how he doesn't care if AI kills us all so many times that I think he might be suicidal. ALSO I got the comic wrong, the computer says "I am alive".Subscribe to and then read AftermathSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Real Time s24e26 - It's Jay de Vance Ya'll feat John Brooks 18.09.2026 2ч 17мин

Oh, did you enjoy your week off from modern day Bill Maher? Well whether or not you did, it's back, so you better be ready for one of the most IN-FUCKIN-SCRUTABLE final New Rules he's ever done. I'm sure I have typed that before, but I swear to GOD bro, I have never meant it more. And you know who can back me up on this? Podcaster and literal teacher of religious history John Brooks. That's right, no yahoo comedian this week. AN EXPERT (I'm remembering last week I had a labor journalist, so I don't really know how this is different, but this is the angle I decided to take with the episode description, which I always hate writing, so I refuse to come up with a new one.) There's an extremely funny conversation about AI in this episode that includes an all time absurd quote from Bill Maher.Also this episode is late because my wife is out of town for a wedding, so I am parenting solo this weekend. That's right, if you had a problem with it being late, you were attacking a single father. I bet you feel pretty shitty now, don't you?!Listen to 1999 and Pod Only KnowsSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Real Time s6e1 - With Two Dead Guys I Did NOT Care For feat Emma Arkell 11.09.2026 1ч 49мин

THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED WEEKS AGO! I'M SORRY IF IT'S SOMEHOW WILDLY OUT OF DATE!...but not that sorry.Oh boy, I was fucking whacked out of my gourd on my recently reupped Ritalin prescription on this one, so it's good the incredibly patient journalist EMMA ARKELL joined the show to listen to me go bleh bleh bleh. It's an off week for Real Time, so we dipped way back into the archives to talk about Real Time season 6 episode, aka THE FIRST EPISODE OF THE WGA STRIKE! Not the strike people reading this are likely to remember, but the one that happened back in 2008 when every writer's room was almost entirely white men. I watched a video of the WGA president at the time addressing strikers and it's insane how white the crowd is.Subscribe to the De Facto Journalism co-opSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Real Time s24e25 - I'm Acclaimed Author Joyce Carol Oates and I Just Killed You feat Ella Dawson 04.09.2026 2ч 14мин

Booked at the last minute month continues (wraps up?, most likely) with Ella Dawson returning to talk about an episode of Real Time that features someone she knows from real life... or should I say "Real Life" (you know, like the show I'm always talking about on here.) Look, there was some good stuff to make fun of through the entire episode but the part I really can't stop thinking about happens at the start of one of the New Rules and I'm just not sure if we'll ever know what truly occurred in that moment. Anyway, young people bad.Real "But How Are You, Really?" and listen to Rebel Ever AfterSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Real Time s24e24 - You Will Long for the Grinch's Wife feat Josh Boerman 29.08.2026 2ч 15мин

"Booked at the Very Last Minute" month continues here at I Hate Bill Maher, with Josh Boerman bailing me out and coming on to talk about Real Time season 24, episode 24. Unfortunately there was no Grinch's wife to keep things fun, and this episode was actually structured seemingly to get worse and worse and worse until we're both extremely pissed off about it. Hey women, don't like workplace sexual harassment? Bill Maher says FUCK. YOU.Hopefully The episode is not quite so late next week, but God works in mysterious ways.Listen to The Worst of All Possible World and/or Ill ConceivedSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Real Time s24e22 - Vote Your Pokemon Gossoff feat Jacob Dallas 13.08.2026 2ч 17мин

Man oh man, this guy freakin' sucks at his job!!! Writer/Podcaster/Organizer Jacob Dallas joins me this week to talk about Real Time season 24, episode 22. A limp but tighter than usual monologue is followed by a fake blue collar guy, a disgusting libertarian, and a journalist who Jacob is familiar enough with that he ends up being disappointed with her performance on here. Why's everybody always handling this freakish old pervert with kid gloves? It makes me nuts! Also, there's a classic New Rule bomb so bad he gets pissed at the audience.Listen to Worker's Lit Check out Jacob's bookSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Real Time s24e21 - I Think She Found This Healing?!? feat Emma Arnold 06.08.2026 2ч 38мин

Hey, I really appreciate all the support on Patreon, HOWEVER if you want to support me (or really anybody) on there, don't use the God damned Apple app. I think they're bringing their weird massive fees back in because a court is letting? I don't know, just subscribe through a web browser. That's your best option anyway, because if you join through the app it doesn't automatically add you to the Discord. IT'S FUCKING INFURIATING.Very early guest Emma Arnold OF THE HAWAII TRIP returns two years later to talk about modern day Maher. She had to spend time with him in 2017, she watched an episode of his show from 2003, and now she's watching another episode of his show from this very day. She also brings some helpful perspective as the mother of three large adult sons because one of the topics on the panel is men... why can't we as a culture help those poor guys out? Like, the loneliness epidemic: is it just for boys? Also, jokes that are technically better than usual but delivered with absolutely no confidence.Please be aware that there's some echo on Emma's audio track because I'm a stupid piece of shit and literally went "I'm sure it's fine" and now it's making me nuts the entire edit. So, uh, I don't know... deal with it????? Also there's less editing on this episode than usual because I am absurdly behind on almost everything to do with the show.Buy Emma's album ON VINYLSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon (please don't sign up through the Apple app, it's bad for you, me, everybody else you support) Hosted on Acast.

Club Random: Bill Maher Talks to Kids! - 70 Year Old Perverts Say the Darndest Things feat Lucy Valentine 31.07.2026 1ч 10мин

It's so crazy to put an exclamation mark at the end of "Bill Maher Talks to Kids" if that exclamation mark is not also followed by a question mark, another exclamation mark, and then a series of skull emojis.Now, you may be looking at the title and thinking "Wait, didn't Will already talk about 'Talks too Kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!' back when it first came out? And you're correct, I did. But it was early in the podcast, I hadn't keyed in to just how much of this thing was weird and/or reprehensible, and I also was like "A guest. A guest should also experience this. So I had Boonta Vista co-host Lucy Valentine join me to talk about this, essentially her first encounter with Bill Maher ever, and I gotta say... I think she really enjoyed. OR PERHAPS THAT'S A LIE! Who's to say? Her, I guess. I'll be honest; my heart really isn't in writing this episode description at... 11:33pm. HOWEVER that makes it thematically appropriate because Bill Maher put in zero effort here, and ends up generating no conversation of substance over three different pairs of kids. I guess during the second one he briefly turns into Lou Dobbs, but other than that it's all "How old are you?" "What grade are you in?" "What do you want to be when you grow up?" and perhaps also... "For Hamas"!!!!!!!! This episode is genuinely almost entirely making fun of an old guy who thinks he's being really funny. If you've ever found yourself thinking "I like that podcast but I get upset hearing so much vile shit come out of that man's mouth" and you can stomach two incidents of transphobia, this is the one for you, baby.I also think I mention Australia too much for the first half of the episode. I don't know why I did that, I think I was kind of nervous to record with someone I didn't know while I'm so physically exhausted (babies HATE to teethe). I probably didn't need to include this in the episode description. Also I was practically eating my mic so the sound is kind of distorted for my liking. I don't know, man, I'm really just ready to go to bed.Listen to Boonta Vista and Savant GardeSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon00:00 - Intro/News/Survey10:11 - 8 YO/16 YO - All bits31:38 - 10 YO/10 YO - Let's get deep50:36 - 13 YO/16 YO - Happy Medium(?)1:03:37 - Exit Hosted on Acast.

Club Random: Patrick Bet-David - You Must Prepare For a Slippery Little Devil feat Dan Friesen 24.07.2026 1ч 56мин

Listen, right off the top, I gotta say that the audio edit is not up to snuff, in my opinion. I just didn't have tim1! There's so much going on! I had to leave in the kinds of um and uhs and interruptions and sputterings (all mine) that normally I would take out. But listen, thankfully I have a real pro at the "I Hate This One Specific Guy" podcast game: podcaster Dan Friesen. Now, when we were picking an episode to do, Dan was really excited to see Bill Maher get fucking wasted, but do you know what? He doesn't. He doesn't even really get high. AND I was looking forward to Patrick Bet-David being an absolute maniac, and we didn't really get any of that, either. In fact, I would say this episode of Club Random was a F-U-C-K-I-N-G D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R. ROCK BOTTOM chemistry, and yet I think Dan and I had quite a lot of fun with it, so FUCK YOU Bill Maher and Club Random; try to fuck up my podcast with your unbelievably bad Club Random episode. Eat shit. We made it work.Also, we talk a lot about how insane PBD is, and sort of mention some of his more detestable beliefs, but straight up he's a really bad guy.

Overtime Part 4 - Now Bill Maher's Scoring Off Me, Oh, That is it! feat Eoin Higgins 17.07.2026 1ч 52мин

Hey, sorry the episode is so late, the dang baby is doing sleep regression ah ha haOh, you thought regular Real Time was so bad that there's no way there could be more? Well FUCK. YOU. Welcome to Overtime, perhaps television's most inessential extra TV show (the most essential? Extra.) That's right, during Real Time's hiatus I am pulling the Overtime coverage off of the Patreon and into the main feed, and joining me here is genuine expert on Real Time Overtime, Eoin Higgins. He knows stuff about it that I did not! That's... I mean, it's fucked. It's really insane to think that there are people who are like "Did you know this about Bill Maher?" and I of all people respond with "...no?" The specific episodes we watched were episodes 15, 16, 17, 18, and 20 from season 24. None of them were longer than thirteen minutes, and yet they all find at least one way to be deeply irritating.Buy Eoin's book "Owned"Support I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCKKKKKK YOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU LARRYYYYYYYYYYY WILMOOOOOOOOOOOORRRREEEEEEEEEEFrancesca Fiorentini returns to the show and I get insanely pissed off at Larry Wilmore. She's also watching footy, but does an impressive job of paying attention to both. She lived in Argentina for a while so I felt like culturally it would've been wrong to raise any objection about it. Also, you can hear her start to get tired just as I'm starting to really lose my shit. That's what makes me such a great host, baby.Don't message me to say I put in a clip of the Raptors winning the East semi-finals and not the NBA finals I AM AWARE.

Real Time s24 e19 - Sucking You Off for $$$ Cuz I Didn't Go to College feat Christie Bahna 26.06.2026 1ч 45мин

Guess if I'm going to complain about the gain on my mic being set way too high!!!!!!! (yes)Fuck man, it's making me insane editing this thing. Anyway, the episode is late this week because I'm frantically finishing up stuff for I Hate Bill Maher Live, this Saturday June 27th at 9:30pm. River Butcher is a last minute replacement, he's great, we're very happy about that. But for this episode that you're either listening to, about to listen to, or preparing to listen to later, we've got returning guest Christie Bahna, who long time listeners will recall was called a "c word" by one of Bill Maher's writers years ago. She's back to witness a diminished man, a sad, frail creature, unaware or unwilling to accept just how greatly his skills have slipped from his grasp. I understand you don't grasp skills, but it's like 12:20 and I'm trying to knock this thing out relatively quickly. This is a classic episode where the panel is relatively inoffensive, which gives Bill Maher a lot of room to stretch his legs and really suck shit. Also, no Euphoria spoilers are in this episode.Follow Christie hereSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Man, Graham Platner comes up a lot in this one. I'm also not sure if I specifically mention there's no midshow comedy bit in this episode, but there's not. My old friend and comedian Katie Page joined the show this week to talk Real Time season 24, episode 17. It was... quite dull. The one on one interview is infuriating, and one of the panelists is a bad panelist. What a booking job!Support I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Real Time s24e16 - Just Because it's Been 100 Episodes Doesn't Mean I'll Reopen the Judgement Free Question Zone feat Diego McCafferty 04.06.2026 2ч 53мин

Get tickets to I Hate Bill Maher Presents: The Samuel Langhorne Clemens Award for Excellence in Receiving the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor hereHello, 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 JuneSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Bill Maher adjusts to a new way of doing comedy, multiple celebrities are interviewed with varying levels of audio quality, and we get a weird little peek inside Bill Maher's home.
