I Hate Bill Maher

Due to big time life stuff, I am unlocking this formerly Patreon exclusive episode which is about a piece of media that I think is kind of a foundational thing for I Hate Bill Maher: Bill Maher on "2 Angry Men", defending his dinner at the White House, and his subsequent monologue about it on the following episode of Real Time. He took the reaction to said monologue so poorly that he's still talking about it EVERY SINGLE WEEK, to this very day! However, this is him at his most freshly wounded, and thus he is truly unhinged in his response. That's right, this is the origin of "I should be a hero!" I don't even know if the actual podcast episode is that good outside of the clips, but the clips are genuinely really incredible. They're insane! "I should be a hero"!!! And he gets really fucking pissed when someone (barely) interrupts him. I'm getting myself worked up about it all over again just writing out this description!For real, I think it's worth watching the full video of the 2 Angry Men episodeSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon, where there is plenty of other sicko shit like this just waiting Hosted on Acast.

I know that some of the more perverse listeners of the podcast prefer an episode that's like a rip roarin' 180 minutes long or whatever, but I have to admit that a one hour and fifteen minute episode about a fairly innocuous 60 minute television show was like, really good for me at this particular moment. The real downside is that internet sick-o Stefan Heck (streamer/podcaster) really deserved worse than this, but he also seemed authentically traumatized by having to watch Bella Thorne on Club Random a few months ago, so maybe that would've been too much, I don't know. He did have to sit through a lot of whining from Bill Maher, Joe Scarborough, and some freak from the AEI, but then he also got to enjoy watching a lone conservative truly get the absolute hell beaten out of him, to such a degree that I created a new award to give to him. I'm such a giving fucking person...Check out Go Off Kings, listen to Blocked PartySupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Comedian Jono Zalay joins the podcast just in time to experience something I was absolutely dreading: the hurricane Katrina episodes. That's right, one of the great tragedies and disasters in American history has arrived. While it's maybe not the best thing for the podcast, it's definitely easier on my brain that at least for now Bill Maher is extremely angry about it, and for the right reasons reasons and at the right people, but that doesn't mean there wasn't some weird and/or annoying shit at work here, especially on just a basic hosting skill level.Listen to Jono's Album "Beat Life to Death" hereSupport I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
