THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED WEEKS AGO! I'M SORRY IF IT'S SOMEHOW WILDLY OUT OF DATE!

...but not that sorry.

Oh boy, I was fucking whacked out of my gourd on my recently reupped Ritalin prescription on this one, so it's good the incredibly patient journalist EMMA ARKELL joined the show to listen to me go bleh bleh bleh. It's an off week for Real Time, so we dipped way back into the archives to talk about Real Time season 6 episode, aka THE FIRST EPISODE OF THE WGA STRIKE! Not the strike people reading this are likely to remember, but the one that happened back in 2008 when every writer's room was almost entirely white men. I watched a video of the WGA president at the time addressing strikers and it's insane how white the crowd is.

Fully sympathize with the experience of hating to give Matt Taibbi credit for making a good point, given what he's become.

Also, I waited in line for almost three hours to vote for Sean Orr.

This episode should have come with a content warning: Warning! If you listen to this episode while driving you will think you are being chased by the police!

You can bully the Podcast Addict devs on their subreddit. They will respond and be really defensive, but they will make changes. I got them to fix their smartwatch settings.

The most Bill Maher thing ever: complimenting someone’s gaunt appearance for being healthy looking even though they will soon be dead. Unreal!
