I recorded an episode in-person for the first time ever, and the audio quality is uhhhhhhhhh mixed, we'll say. But hey, when you've got a guest this good, a little diminished audio is worth the trouble. Comedian, Actor, Whole-ass show creator Lindsay Mullan joins us this week, and we spend a lot of time talking about whether or not it's worth it to focus your creative efforts on hating another, much more famous person, and the possible consequences of attaching yourself to someone you don't even like. Then, a quicker than usual Real Time recap but don't worry, there's still a ton of dog shit in there. Aaron McGruder probably takes the title of Best Panel Guest from Connie Rice, for the record.

Here's Lindsay's website! Here is Linday's Instagram!

Comedian/Writer/Long time close fiend (intentional) Eliza Skinner joins the show to talk about a parent's love (for Maher). We also explore whether or not Bill Maher likes... anything, really??? I'll be honest, I'm insanely exhausted trying to write this description right now and I just truly have no mental energy to do anything. That's why this episode was so late, I had a lot to get done. Okay?! Fuck!!!!!Anyway, Eliza's great, very funny. Goodnight!

CONTENT WARNING: Roman Polanski comes up in the context of his horrible crimes, and while we don't mention the specifics, we do mention Bill Maher mentioning the specifics.

Finally, I get another absolute pervert for Bill Maher on here. Comedian John Hastings joins me to talk about his theory on modern grift culture's role in Real Time's resurgence, the complete and total absence of effort throughout Bill Maher's entire career, and a tonally bizarre episode of Real Time that gets completely fucked up by an absurdly inappropriate throwaway joke. But on the upside, it's the least amount of sexism from Bill so far. So, I don't know, that's good...?

P.S. I told you I would sound better and it would be on time this week. Each of you owes me twenty dollars.
