THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED WEEKS AGO! I'M SORRY IF IT'S SOMEHOW WILDLY OUT OF DATE!

...but not that sorry.

Oh boy, I was fucking whacked out of my gourd on my recently reupped Ritalin prescription on this one, so it's good the incredibly patient journalist EMMA ARKELL joined the show to listen to me go bleh bleh bleh. It's an off week for Real Time, so we dipped way back into the archives to talk about Real Time season 6 episode, aka THE FIRST EPISODE OF THE WGA STRIKE! Not the strike people reading this are likely to remember, but the one that happened back in 2008 when every writer's room was almost entirely white men. I watched a video of the WGA president at the time addressing strikers and it's insane how white the crowd is.

Booked at the last minute month continues (wraps up?, most likely) with Ella Dawson returning to talk about an episode of Real Time that features someone she knows from real life... or should I say "Real Life" (you know, like the show I'm always talking about on here.) Look, there was some good stuff to make fun of through the entire episode but the part I really can't stop thinking about happens at the start of one of the New Rules and I'm just not sure if we'll ever know what truly occurred in that moment. Anyway, young people bad.

"Booked at the Very Last Minute" month continues here at I Hate Bill Maher, with Josh Boerman bailing me out and coming on to talk about Real Time season 24, episode 24. Unfortunately there was no Grinch's wife to keep things fun, and this episode was actually structured seemingly to get worse and worse and worse until we're both extremely pissed off about it. Hey women, don't like workplace sexual harassment? Bill Maher says FUCK. YOU.

Hopefully The episode is not quite so late next week, but God works in mysterious ways.
