It's an odd feeling, to long for someone to be worse at what they're doing so that you can find it more entertaining. This week, Bill Maher manages to find a baseline of... not competency, but perhaps "not being pure shit"(?) and it's a little dispiriting for myself and my returning guest, Josh Boerman. Look, he still humiliates himself, but the mush mouth, the dozens of lip smacks, the total lack of knowledge about what he's talking about; it's here, but it's just... lesser. That is until the final New Rule, at which point we get to fill the quota for raving "what is he talking about?!"

Also, I fucked up some clips but it's because I pulled them while holding a sick baby. SORRY I'M SUCH A GREAT DAD!!!

Crazy to do a joke about the Amy Acton ad and leave me thinking you're the asshole. He's still got it

Tori J

I feel like Josh, Ella, and John Hastings should count as unofficial cohosts at this point tbh. always good to have any of them on

Eli

is the cover art uh a lickitung

Deb

Oh, Bill - tell me more made-up stories about how the president is your best friend, and he says you're a cool guy and he let you stay over and swim in his pool and play video games all night, and he's *totally* gonna give you your own Secret Service detail and and and . . .

Jim Allenspach

There really is no reason for anyone of importance to go on this show anymore. I just remember Francesca's frustration that this time slot isn't being used for something good

William

blasé sounds like blaze. Not a good joke but that’s why he said it

William

Cover art is haunting. I listen to this shit at work, Will.

Bob

Blasé kinda read like blaze guys, that's the word play

Thank you! I was yelling at my phone on the drive home and hoped someone heard me.

Two obligatory British listener comments: 1) I have never ever heard anyone across these isles pronounce it as anything other than "vee-gan" 2) motability was a big moral panic here because a lot of people using it aren't white. The key thing is that its one in seven new cars, because people with disabilities often need to buy new cars so they can be fitted with the right equipment. Nearly all car sales are second hand, so it's a much smaller proportion of overall sales

His New Rules "editorials" are getting less and less coherent every week. They're just copypasta from The Free Press with a bunch of extra bigotry mixed in.

Melissa Hudson

The "BLASÉ" thing in new rules is supposed to be "BLAZE". It's so dumb. It's just so, so dumb.

Poor Dunce

Bill Maher said doodoo dick

This episode has been released on my 30th birthday. I’m so glad I can finally listen to the show I’ve been specifically told is for over 30s.

Garrett Watson

Beshear put in a strong performance for hall of fame this episode

Australian listener comments to back up Bob. 1) Across the antipodes never heard anything other than "Vee-gan", even if you have a crazy NZ accent. 2) We've had similar moral panic about our National Disability Insurance Scheme - yes! It's a SCHEME! The government is claiming it is too expensive to care for people with disability so they are going to crack down on supports that are supposed to help people with disability to socialise. Which in this giant country requires a car. So yeah....

William

Bill “Mr. Race Science” Maher calling Vivek “Pakistani” was fucking wild. This motherfucker is so goddamn racist and also lazy. Not all Brown people are Muslim. GOOGLE IS FREE, MY GUY!

Melazond

oof hearing "Yvette Nicole Brown" and "the worst" made my heart break, Not Shirley!

Delighted to hear him shouting about Spanish semantics in this one

Doll House

Vegetarian restaurants also rapidly disappearing from LA, which, as a vegetarian, pisses me off
