Man, what a bad panel this was. Comedian Rachele Friedland joins me to, you know, talk Bill Maher. She's a former fan, and I was so exhausted from watching like six hours of Bill Maher content over a few days that I made her psychoanalyze me to find out why I am doing this. The answer? I'm fucked up, dewd. We talked about Real Time season 1 episode 16, and in addition to an awful panel Rachele points out how totally lacking the show's comedy writing is when it comes to actual technique.

Comedian and ~*COMEDY HISTORIAN*~ Mike Bridenstine joins the show, and he's bringing with him a familiarity with Bill Maher that dwarfs probably anybody else who's been on the show. He tells us about the experience of attending a Real Time taping AND the after party afterwards, then we really get into the weeds when it comes to Real time season 1, episode 15. It's pretty fucking racist, and don't worry, he also makes a ton of jokes about rape. Ha ha ha, God damn it!!!

The sound quality on this one is not good because I lost the high quality audio files and was stuck using the Zoom recording. I genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, do not understand what could've happened, but such is life. Anyway, this episode of Real time was a real dud, but that's okay (sort of) because our guest wasn't! Writer and comedian Pallavi Gunalan joined me, and she came in firmly on the "I have only seen bits and pieces of Maher but I hated all of it" side of things. A recent interview shows just how completely out of touch Bill Maher is with the city he calls home and supposedly loves is, plus questions, and a mid episode comedy sketch that's so inscrutable I... I just don't know, man. And all this headlined by a Real Time panel that has so little chemistry and flow that it genuinely seems like Bill Maher got annoyed and just ended the episode early. CONTENT WARNING: More fucking Kobe Bryant talk. Good lord, I forgot how obsessed the country was with this story...

There's a special episode of Club Random called "Bill Maher Talks to Kids". If you said that to me out loud, I would expect you to finish by adding "v United States". Anyway, I had some quick thoughts on it (it's really boring, don't bother watching it if you're expecting it to be nuts.)
