Show Notes
It's an odd feeling, to long for someone to be worse at what they're doing so that you can find it more entertaining. This week, Bill Maher manages to find a baseline of... not competency, but perhaps "not being pure shit"(?) and it's a little dispiriting for myself and my returning guest, Josh Boerman. Look, he still humiliates himself, but the mush mouth, the dozens of lip smacks, the total lack of knowledge about what he's talking about; it's here, but it's just... lesser. That is until the final New Rule, at which point we get to fill the quota for raving "what is he talking about?!"
Also, I fucked up some clips but it's because I pulled them while holding a sick baby. SORRY I'M SUCH A GREAT DAD!!!

If you like when I am rude to the guests you're gonna love this one. I know I do, I love to mock the guests!
ANNOUNCEMENT: The show comes out on Thursdays now, and Patreon episodes come out on... the weekend. At some point. God willing. I just need the extra day for both scheduling and editing reasons.
Listen, if Fareed Zakaria was (CENSORED BY ACAST) and somehow that person sent me a recording of (CENSORED BY ACAST) and it was just every agonizing moment of (CENSORED BY ACAST) and the volume got louder every time he (CENSORED BY ACAST) I would find a way to give that person a million dollars.
Complicatedly Named Podcast Haver Tom Harrison is this week's guest, for yet another nonsensical episode of Real Time that is less "cutting edge look at current events" and more "grating conversation with your worst Aunt & Uncle who post way too much".
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!
