Real Time s22 e34 - Can a Man Admit to His Mistakes feat Me

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 my normally unnoticeable hernia started really bothering me. I'm very deflated by the end, whoops! Here's the second description I had in mind: "I sent Uncle Mac’s thumb-buster and badge over to the Rangers. Put up in a museum. Your daddy ever tell you how Uncle Mac come to his reward? Gunned down on his own porch over in Hudspeth County. Seven or eight of ’em come up to here. Wantin’ this and wantin’ that. Uncle Mac went back in the house and got the shotgun, they was way ahead of him. Shot him in the doorway. Aunt Ella came out and tried to stop the bleedin’. Uncle Mac all the while tryin’ to get that shotgun. They just sat there on their horses watchin’ him die. After a while, one of ’em says somethin in Injun and they all turned and left out. Well, Uncle Mac knew the score even if Aunt Ella didn’t. Shot through the left lung. And that was that. As they say." "When did he die?" "1909." "No, I mean was it right away or in the night or when was it?" "I believe it’s that night. She buried him the next mornin’. Diggin’ in that hard old caliche. What you got ain’t nothin new. This country is hard on people. You can’t stop what’s comin’. Ain’t all waitin’ on you. That’s vanity." Hosted on Acast.

Real Time s2e3 - No, We Don't Talk About it feat Steve Hernandez

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, I really struggled to get through. Sean Astin makes no sense, Larry Miller is... fuck, man. I can't handle him. The most surprising thing about the whole thing was the revelation that Patty Duke is Sean Astin's mom, which I didn't even actually hear until I was pulling clips for the edit.

Real Time s2e2 - Put Down Your iPod and do the Dean Scream feat Jane Harrison

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 down to multiple people complaining about what an asshole my cat is. Oh, and at one point Jane goes "who's that, he's cute" and she was referring to Tyler Glasnow, not the batting coach like I thought she meant, which in retrospect should've been obvious to me.

BONUS EPISODE PREVIEW - 1985's Sara and What Could've Been feat Ella Dawson

Once upon a time, Bill Maher was an "actor/comedian", as opposed to "breaker of new ways to think about stories/comedian", and his first starring role was 1985's Sara, which also stars Geena Davis and Alfre Woodard (which is insane, by the way.) Writer Ella Dawson returns to talk about the show generally, Bill Maher's performance specifically, and then hypothesize what a world where this show was a hit would have looked like.

Real Time s2e1 - Thank God the File Was Broken feat Francesca Fiorentini

New year, new Maher (but not actually). Season 2 of Real Time with Bill Maher has begun, at least as far as this podcast is concerned, and I was joined by comedian and journalist Francesca Fiorentini. She gives us some insight on doing panels not unlike the ones they do on Real Time, and then we recap an incomplete Real Time that was incomplete due to my incompetence! Honestly, it feels like we're getting off lucky because Al Sharpton and Ron Silver spent A LOT of time just yelling at each other.

21 - Almost Assuredly the Most Controversial Episode to Date feat Adam Christie

Listen, I'm very sorry to any listeners who are infuriated and/or disappointed by this episode, but like, I gotta be honest with this thing. This week, comedian Adam Christie joins me to give an insider's look into the practical reality of writing a weekly topical late night comedy show, and is obstinate with me in the way that only people who've been friends since they were teenagers can be obstinate with one another. But perhaps that feeling is just my own displeasure at having to admit something I never thought I would. A truly shocking episode of... pod... casting. Oh, and also, please rate and review the podcast on whatever service you personally do that kind of thing on. I'd appreciate it.

20 - Wretched Mother is at the Fabric Store Again feat Kath Barbadoro

Watch out ladies, it's... some incredibly misogynist television that we watched! Kath Barbadoro joined the show to watch Real Time season one, episode nineteen with me, and after I found out she was teaching a stand-up comedy class I was annoying about it and really made at her pick at some of the jokes in this episode. In my defense, they were FUCKIN' BAD. Anyway, it still ended up not being not such a bad time in comparison to some past watches, so make of that what you will.

19 - The Desolation of Paul Krugman feat Sam Wiles

Comedian Sam Wiles joined the show to talk about whether or not he has, like me, concerns about having your creative works too associated with a guy you hate, then it's on to Real Time, season one, episode 18. It's not the smartest panel in the world, but they make up for it by being.... well, not very smart.

I watched Real Time season 1, episode 17 all on my own, and man oh man, do I ever hate Bill Kristol. Lots of clips in this one; I get into the weeds on the quality and craftsmanship of the monologues jokes.
