14 - George Borsh's Polycule feat Pallavi Gunalan 1:38:44

1h ago1:38:44

1:38:44

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 …

18d ago11:20

11:20

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".

5h ago1:48:30

1:48:30

Well, the content warning doesn't need to be as intense this week, but buddy you'd better believe we still have to talk about Bill Maher's flippant use of rape as a punchline. But who's "we", you ask? Why, it's none other than writer Ella Dawson, who has her own shameful history of teen Maher fandom. There's questions, there's a real time panel fro…

1:28:50

Not unlike Bill Maher himself, I took a little break from Real Time to watch the only Bill Maher star vehicle, 1991's Pizza Man. I was joined by Podcaster/Writer/Comedian Caitlin Durante, so there is officially a witness to the absolutely fuckin' BIZARRE tonal shifts and plot developments in this thing. Which parts were meant to be jokes? Why is it…

3M ago1:36:24

1:36:24

I don't want to go on a rant here, but this week writer Sophia Benoit really gets tossed into the Real Time meat grinder when she's given an episode to discuss that has Dennis Miller on the panel. Has experiencing her mother and former step-father's Bill Maher fandom as a teen prepared her for such an experience, or will she suffer the same amount …

1:26:19

Comedian and PODCASTER™ John Cullen (Broomgate) joins Will to talk about episode 2 of Real Time episode 2. He's not a particularly political guy, and particularly hates it when comedy gets mixed in there, so this is sure to be his absolute Hell.
