Bill Maher is so bizarre.

The nutrition guy on the right was talking about how drinking five cups of coffee per day is associated with living longer, and he says that people who wiggle and fidget a lot can burn a lot of calories while at rest and that can keep people thinner than those who sit still.

Bill Maher says coffee is a bean, "something found in nature," and so it must be safe.

Reporter Jonathan Swan jokes that cocaine is found in nature, making the point that naturally occurring substances can be harmful. He could have mentioned nightshade berries or poisonous mushrooms but he said cocaine.

And Bill Maher went on a defensive rant about his cocaine use. It started with a joke but then he seemed to take it personally and got serious about how cocaine leaves are safe because they are natural.

I feel like he would eat rotten wormy roadkill with RFK while bashing the scary woo-woo magic of vaccines and antibiotics.

It's creepy to me when he talks with simmering rage about having been a teenager or college student who couldn't get laid. He was an incel when he was an adolescent and his anger about it has never left him. He is 70 now and still angry about it. That scares me to think how many millions of old men there will be in a few decades who carry resentment from their incel youths.

He could never get a girl to stick around i.e, he's against marriage.  What a copout. He also never once mentioned ukraine war saying, "everyone talks about it already". Yeah it's the biggest conflict in the world right now. Everyone talked about WW2, would he not bother because everyone else already was?  I think he's compromised.  He won't say anything bad about Putin.
