EDIT: Not sure why the text formatted so weird when I pasted it from Acast. Honestly, who cares?! Me. I care.

Okay, well, this one's REAL LATE but you know what? It was worth it, because this week I welcomed returning guest Gita Jackson, who injects more fashion talk into the episode than has ever happened before? This Real Time has annoying guest after annoying guest, from a credulous AI moron, to a center right Dem, to one of modern day's most racist guys. And then there's Bill Maher, who's kind of all three of those! 

Got. His. Fucking. Ass.

Plus, hey, you're not going to believe it but this episode also has an insanely nasty and vicious final New Rule. Go figure! Also, Bill Maher talks about how he doesn't care if AI kills us all so many times that I think he might be suicidal. ALSO I got the comic wrong, the computer says "I am alive".

Hell yeah, Gita is the best!

JayDubYuhh

I gotta say man I constructed that bit in my mind like you asked and I dont think I delivered it very well

Garrett Watson

You and Gita bounce off each other really well in this episode :)

Hentron

I'm starting to think that Bill knows about the Smackdown and is making more smacking noises to punish us.

Faib Dao

It is MacLEmore btw

mrg

the mp3 i grabbed has this as the episode title, John sure sounds strange this week ;) "Title: Netflix Presents: A Ricky Gervais Comedy Special: Rich Cunt feat John Hastings"

2026-10-01 17:00 Beyond the smears and falsely accusing Macklemore and the pro-Palestine movement of inciting antisemitic violence, it takes a hell of a lot of nerve to make free speech and being anti-woke his entire fucking personality, only to turn against it the moment it’s against speech he doesn’t like. But this also reminds me why I stopped watching Bill Maher. In 2020, during COVID when President Fatass McPedophile was calling COVID the "China virus"—Asian Americans and civil rights organizations warned that such rhetoric would lead to a surge in anti-Asian hate crimes (which is exactly what happened). Yet, in his "New Rule" segment at the time, Bill Maher literally defended Trump! He literally defended a term offensive to Asian people, even as Asian people were quite explicit about objecting to it! He even declared, "It was the progressives who let this happen," and—for no apparent reason—showed a photo of Afghan women wearing the niqab (because he’s a racist, Islamophobic piece of shit). That is who Bill Maher really is: a spoiled, self-absorbed racist brat who feels entitled to spew insults and say whatever he wants, libtards! BUT if you use your freedom of speech to speak out against the genocide in Gaza and condemn the Israeli government, then Bill thinks you should face the consequences. Bill believes he gets to be offensive and will tell you to go fuck yourself if you don’t like, but—and here’s the catch—if *you* display similar political incorrectness, he believes you should face the consequences. Bill Maher is a massive hypocrite and a fraud.

Bill Maher should not be commenting about babies on planes.

Mark Kreitz

I really don’t know if I can do this anymore. Will is great, but Bill is just so loathsome and he’s more loathsome every week. I may still pay for the Patreon but stop listening. I just can’t stomach that fucker anymore.

Kimmerfest

It is pronounced Mack-le-more!

Kimmerfest

Please pull that "nothing nothing nothing" clip for reuse. I am obsessed

Talking Sydney Sweeney without the YEEAAHHHH guy is criminal

Doll House

IHBM is the best most joyous thing in my life almost like a god

Laurie Stewart

IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF THE FAR FUTURE, THERE IS ONLY MAHER

Betti Tristan

He said stick man, and I was picturing this guy

Tori J

I may hate the guy's guts, but you've gotta hand it to bill maher for his unwavering stance on free speech.

Jacob Boyle

Will I’m commenting with constructive feedback. Something you do that bothers me is when you play a clip from Maher (for example at about 50:20 in this episode) and then interrupt the clip to provide context, I wish you would then start the clip at the beginning instead of resuming it where you interrupted. With longer clips, I understand not going back to the top, but when the clip is short and you’ve interrupted it, my ADHD mind doesn’t have time to parse the two separate streams of information and I end up confused and not able to follow what’s going on. That is all, thanks for this episode it is a very good one overall. You’re killing it

Katie CG

I have accepted that this man will die before I ever get famous enough to get booked on his horrible show and call him a coward and liar and hypocrite to his face. New plan: get to someone he *would* book; convince them to do it for us. Surely there's some political consultant out there who just discovered they have six months to live (like Tony Snow, haha) and would like to go down as a legend.

Andrew Gaug

Two things: Ed Sheeran is super rich, but not a billionaire. And lol at Gita dunking on past-and-I-assume-not-future-guest Taylor Lorenz.

Mirkatte

Besides Bill being wrong about "from the river to the sea," Macklemore didn't even say that in his song intro. Saying "Free Palestine" is not inherently antisemitic and definitely not "inciting violence." And no Bill, the left does NOT need to "drop the gender stuff." Tell the RIGHT to drop it. They're the ones pretending to care about women's sports so they can go after trans girls and women who want to play sports.

Doll House

sorry for doubting u but u r not being serious right?

Tori J

well, his stance has always kinda been "it's censorship to criticize me for being a bigot." so in that sense, yes, I'm being serious. but no, I don't actually think anyone's gotta hand it to him, at all, ever. he's a piece of shit who clearly only cares about free speech when it's easy for him personally.

Judy

I love when Gita appears in my feed. Any chance Maddie Myers might guest? Her mention of IHBM on her podcast, Triple Click, is where I first heard of you.

Cassie LaGrange

The rock star of here... the Shakespeare of prose

Mistress Tentacles

Thank you for the Wario correction. I wouldn't have said anything but it would have bothered me.

Liz

"There aint no Taylor Lorenz as a guest and there never was!"

Liz

Again with the 'The left won't talk to me" BS from Bill. Sam Seder, Mehdi Hasan, Hasan Piker- all people on the left that have said they would happily go on Real Time, but they haven't been asked or have been rejected. He'd never actually have a candidate like Angie Nixon on either.

Justin Van Wormer

I think it’s very funny that his audience is increasingly unwilling to go along with his genocide denial. Even his biggest fans will sit in silence and he’s absolutely being eaten up inside about it.

InuJoshua

Not even political incorrectness. Macklemore’s statement was as gentle and careful as it could possibly be and he’s still claiming it was a call to violence.

trasparenti

Shout out to Gita for being completely correct about Balenciaga. It's so rare to hear someone on a pod who knows ball re: fashion (an evil and vile industry)

Thoros of Mountains

The only good thing about living in the Warhammer 40K universe would be imagining what the Inquisition would do once they learned Bill Maher doesn't believe in the God-Emperor.

Will Weldon

She was on a few months ago, I'll probably ask her if she wants to come back not too far in the future
