Wow, this show sucks! This episode's coming to you late because guest Taylor Lorenz, who was previously booked to do the show next month, saw who the interview guest was and said "I hate this man and must talk about it" (paraphrasing.) And we did! She is the rare first who truly has as little familiarity with Bill Maher as possible, and also late night just in general, so it was FASCINATING to watch someone discover it via the worst possible example of it. We talk about the interview for a while, the boring panel for not as long (though I still found one guest INFURIATING) and then we heard a deeply confusing final New Rule that will make you say "not homophobic enough" JUST KIDDING!

If there are weird typos in this I wrote it on my phone while feeding a baby so gimme a freakin break!

UPDATE: I forgot to put in an audio clip towards the end of the episode, that's been corrected.

The new season continues to trudge on, and this week writer Parker Molloy joins the show for a third straight week of Bill Maher conducted Epstein files talk! She's a great guest, but listen; some weeks writing this description is harder than others, because it's just like, yeah, this guy sucks ass and this show is bad. I think we do a pretty good job of making fun of it, but if you've listened to the show before, you know that. Are there any surprises or anything to tease? Here's the thing: this week, there is. The final minute of the final New Rule does such a shock one eighty quality-wise that we were both truly stunned by it. You'll be shock, I swear to God...

I haven't mentioned the show's stings being the work of Empty Heaven in a while, but their going viral for wholesome wife guy shit reminded me that I should. Check them out here.

God FUCKIN damn it, bro. I got nervous there would be an issue with Streamyard so I did a backup recording and it fucked the gain on my mic up so bad. It's making me insane, I gotta know better than to not check my levels, Jesus Christ. Anyway, games journalist and podcaster Maddy Myers was on the who this week, and she asked the question "Hey, why are you doing an entire season of new episodes?" I don't know, man. It's pretty funny how much worse he's gotten at his job, but hearing him do such a bad job talking about such important things is really tough to deal with. Also, a nemesis from the show's past returns and somehow becomes the voice of reason. Sucks ass, man.
