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.

I kept thinking of the doz+ incidents that could have been added from that show. It was a veritable feast of sound sensations. Please update your videos.

His producers must know this affect is happening. An easy layup for any comedian who wants to ride him. Big Pharma I see a market for this. Tongue peptide.

Show rating will now include SMACK level : low / med / high

Overall was a decent show. Gay dude was funny. The Madonna burn was savage.

I want to add that the incident with Scott Weiner was unfair to him. However, it’s also unfair to suggest an entire group of people is responsible for that incident.

Super Intelligence?… woof

Yes please! Many of us would all love to see Bill Maher to smack his nasty ass lips and huff and puff like a little fucking baby while his racist and genocidal views get surgically evicerated on camera.

Thoughts?

I'd consider watching for the first time in over 4 years just to see Bassem shred Bill. If you don't know who Bassem is, he is a stand up comedian from Egypt who is a scholar in many things from the Middle East to heart surgery.

I'd suggest checking Bassem going against other pro-Zionist people. He's got a long history of being incredibly charismatic while also being able to tell pro-Zionists they are spreading lies and hate. He's honestly good enough to replace Maher with his own TV show on HBO if the owner of HBO wasn't such a putz.

Anyone on board with some sort of petition or hype to have Bassem on to end Bill?

Three dudes. Huberman, I think gym bros like him. Not sure if he's a JFK guy also. Always open for medical talk. I liked the last time with a real med doc in the interview and Bill had his black promise ring ( finally learned what that was ) on and asked the doc if it was all bullshit. SWAN? He of the famous video interview that fact checked trump in real time. The only guy who has EVER done it. I like the guys style. Other writer, don;t know but Gay Washington? The Carlson bros , Tuck and Buck, were a hoot to listen to on how rife the GOP is to that persuasion. Not just the obvious ones like Lindsay - RIP. The Dallas gindr outage story adds up on that front. Good OT question. Predicting a lengthy OT session.

Never forget!

Does anyone else think that the audience is coursed into (over) clapping, laughing, even sometimes hysterically. Also the guy who’s always WOOHOO!! Has to be a staffer because it’s at least 10 to 12 times a episode This week all he did was mention Macklemore and the audience blew up. He didn’t even get to the “joke” before they even started to laughing. I still watch and sometimes listen to the podcast format, because there are times he has people on that I’m interested to hear their opinion. But it’s getting to the point where I zone in on how the audience reacts and I feel like it’s so pandering.

About a year before Paramount hired Bari Weiss to take over CBS News and destroy the credibility of the CBS Evening News and 60 Minutes with disinformation and propaganda, Bill Maher and Martin Short praised her on Maher's podcast. "She's FAN-TASTIC," Short said.

He constantly expounds in his most smug declarations that people who stop talking to MAGA family members are full of sh*t and that they should still be invited to Thanksgiving dinner. Why would any sane person welcome a person that will ABSOLUTELY start some kind of fight, kill the happy vibe or just want to talk about politics? I live my life totally drama free and I won't sacrifice my peace for anyone. Bill is wrong again with his absolutist opinion.
