Yeah, Maher's self agrandizing is obnoxious as usual. And having a terrible take is not something to take pride in... like his writers' strike take.

That was the best part. Remember when Colbert did a dance routine with people dressed as needles? Brilliant comedy. Truth to power! LOL. These late night guys are so safe it's hard to imagine considering them comedians of any sort.

I really enjoyed the three minutes where Jim Gaffigan talked. Once he almost got an entire sentence out.

Maher is such a pompous dick. He says he doesn't want to be married. It's more that no woman would be able to stand him.

[@Cinnabuns2009]

Its funny, when I've seen his HBO show its funny and directed but this is so meandering that he just talks about himself mostly which is unfortunate. These two guys are a good example of what Hollywood can do to a person. One of them is insufferable and one of them you hang on every word. I'd suppose guests like Jim are aware of his personality prior to agreeing to coming on the show. They're aware of what they're in for but the free advertising is more appealing than the host is unappealing.

[@montyforster3370]

The six words that Jim Gaffigan got out were absolutely hilarious.

[@ANTIStraussian]

Boomer podcasts, interruptions, anti union, with a dash of cringe

[@tsc1945]

I noticed that Jim Gaffigan said at one point “sorry I’m hogging this whole conversation”…or something to that effect…and it just FLEW over Bill’s head. Talk about being arrogant…look in the mirror Bill…you aren’t that interesting…and STOP with the weed and alcohol, already. Because he spews the same self indulgent crap at anyone and EVERYONE who tries to hold a conversation while sitting in those horrific chairs (I bet they need a really good cleaning 😱)….I don’t watch most of his podcasts anymore bc of his attitude towards guests. And guests…JUST SAY NO WHEN HE “INVITES” YOU ON TO LISTEN TO HIM!!!

[@tsc1945]

Of course, we all know he’ll never read these comments…but it just cleanses my soul to know I’m not the only one who feels like this. You’d think his “team” would clue him in…..

[@brittharrison1850]

@@tsc1945agreed. This was kinda a gross interview. I only lasted the first 15 mins.

[@pt8292]

The show is just them hanging out, it’s supposed to be random, not something you go to so you can sell your shit

It’s not an interview. These are all two people drinking and smoking, having a conversation and fun. It’s a genius format and concept. Can’t you just enjoy it?

[@Bronco541]

Yeah, apparently people are looking for Larry King, if you want that, youll need to look elsewhere. This podcast is clearly not trying to be that. Like it or not.

[@johnkrizanc6747]

OK I have never POSTED - but when it comes to the strike YAY to Jim Gaffigan he gets it = he has the compassion that Bill lacks - he still understands the working class Bravo - Jim

[@jmhorange]

Yeah was disappointed in Bill's take. I also don't like him saying other people down the line are being affected by the strike. I'm an animator and I know. I'm looking to the writers and actors to set precedent around streaming and AI protections. What happens there will affect how studios treat the rest of us especially since most of us don't have union representation. I feel like Bill doesn't get it because at his level, it's very informal, involves million dollar transactions and you aren't guaranteed a job. One minute you are on top, the next you might not be. And despite them being the face of Hollywood, well known celebrities make up less than 1 percent of the actual jobs in Hollywood. For the rest of us, it's very formal, we work in desk jobs, with regular American wages. We can't go into debt for college, and learn new skills all the time if we don't have job security. We'll just move to another industry where we do, eroding talent that Hollywood depends on. But it's great that Jim hasn't lost touch with the common man.

[@masterofallgoons]

​@@jmhorange- well said. There's a lot at stake, and while I'm sure there are things from both the WGA and SAG that will need to be compromised on, the issues they're arguing about are important and his vague dismissiveness is silly. By the way, aren't the animators in a separate category? As I understand it writing for animation (and voice acting?) Is not covered by the regular guilds... which seems wild to me. That seems like something that should be re-egotiated too.

[@jmhorange]

@@masterofallgoons Animators have a union, who's contract is up next year. The problem is, for various reasons, our union has historically been based in California. And for most of animation history, that worked. There was a fair amount of animation done in New York, but Hollywood was the epicenter of animation. Today, animation, just for US animation alone, is a national and global industry. As a result, the animation Guild is very weak and only covers some studios in Cali. But that's changing over the last few years. They've managed to sign studios in New York and other places in the US. In the last year, they've signed a studio for our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico. And they've unionized a few Canadian studios, because alot of animation is done in Canada. Canada subsidizes their entertainment industry. Otherwise it would be overridden by the US, and their people would just watch American tv and film. It works for live action and enables culturally Canadian content for their people. For animation, American studios exploited the tax incentives to get them to make American shows cheaper. But now Canadian studios no longer want to be exploited and are unionizing. VFX studios are also unionizing for the first time in history. Disney Marvel VFX just unionized a few weeks ago. So there's a lot of unionization happening recently. It's long overdue, but more stories like the Vulture article about the 6 day a week, 60+ hours on really low wages on the Spiderverse movies are finally making artists realize the importance of unions and not just accepting working conditions because you love what you do or you get to work on a "cool" project. You provide a service just like any job and the studio pays you in return, it's business and it shouldn't be conducted otherwise. As far as writers for animation, I can count on one hand how many studios where the writers in the same building. Voice actors, I've never seen them work in any studios I've worked in. You might rarely see them stop by to see how animation is done. I remember Vince Vaughn came by the studio. We were animating a shot with a character he voiced sitting down, and he asked if he could be made to stand up. And I was like, "Not in 5 minutes you expect it to be in. Animation takes time..." Anyways, they are a whole different section than us artists. As far as I know, animation writers are not covered by the WGA, although WGA has been trying to make that so for a number of years. In general, animation writing is looked down upon by writers, a gig that you take until you can find work in live action, so there doesn't seem a big rush to cover animation writers. I don't know if voice acting in tv and film is covered by SAG. Voice acting in videogames is though, SAG is calling for a strike over many of the same issues that actors have.

[@jmhorange]

@@dankz7061 Why would we resurrect old jobs redefined by technology? Given that there's not mass unemployment, we can see those technological changes generated more jobs than eliminated. This is the great fear, that there will not be more jobs lost than created. There's now governments in 2024 starting to look into the effects of AI on society. Less workers means less taxes, and taxes are how governments meet the needs of their people. So I mean, maybe you don't see anything gained by the strikes, but there's more coming in that industry, from the IATSE and the Animation Guild, inspired by the writers and actors to get their own AI protections. So I'm not exactly clear what you think is inevitable. That society collapse for profits for tech companies? Not one expert in the AI industry can articulate what new jobs will replace the ones AI will eliminate. Sam Altman, leader of the AI industry in an interview failed to articulate what he thinks humans do better than AI. Are you suggesting the elimination of our species is inevitable and that's the side you are on?

[@jmhorange]

@@masterofallgoons We have our own guild, the animation guild. It's historically been only in Cali, but in the last couple years has unionized a bit across the US and Puerto Rico. Actors don't want us in their union. It is what it is but I don't think actors consider what we do filmmaking. If you look at the best animated film category at the Oscars, that only exists because actors were outraged that Beauty and the Beast was nominated, not won, nominated for best picture in 1991 and a new category was created the next year to keep us from competing against them. Today there are actors pushing for films to be labelled if they have AI, VFX, CGI. VFX and CGI are done by artists, no need to label them, just AI.

Your The Man Bill Maher! I Enjoy Watching Club Random!

[@DABA2024]

LOVE that a Bill Maher fan doesn’t understand the difference between your and you’re. It’s just so perfect 😂 You probably think Bill is a intellectual 😂

[@leedufour]

Thanks Jim and Bill!

[@gaylachiriaco8667]

This was a good conversation, not to be confused with Bill doing all the talking and constantly interrupting. Jim was so unaffected.

[@workinprogress-ye5or]

Bill is getting the upper 60 regrets....it happens. No one really connected to him, Mom and Dad gone, just pot, liquor, Hollywood friends and his ego wishes he had a smart, quirky kid to keep him company. ; ) Maybe not, but I think he thinks about it a lot.

[@will-i-am386]

Nope

[@redemptionhappens7725]

It’s because people constantly question why you never had kids. Constantly!!! Just happened to me yet again at work tonight. I don’t know why it’s so shocking or offensive to not go by the life script society sets out. It’s very confusing and upsetting for people who are… mentally lazy to be quite honest and the constant dumb/rude questions make people defensive. Like what do you people want me to say? I never ask nosy ass questions like that.

[@robinjensen3092]

Wow😊

[@workinprogress-ye5or]

@@redemptionhappens7725 I don't think they bug Bill since he's single. I think it would be marry but he hasn't had anyone that he felt like except a woman way back named Cara. (he might have been fibbing then though) I think HE brings it up way more than others and admits he wonders if he did the right thing. Probably was since he didn't believe in cheating etc and he likes variety. Shallow that way but not everyone wants to be a parent or be married. Hopefully that is getting better in society

[@deb9806]

@@workinprogress-ye5or A guest brought up Cara once, he changed the subject. If Bill was a normal 9-5 guy, he'd be married by now. Being in his lifestyle, no. He's smart but emotionally stunted in some ways. He has his way of doing things and someone else would feel odd at this point in his home. A date once said they went to a guest house...of course he has a compound and plenty of places to stay. Great story few years back on an interviewer who went to home.

Maher is probably the kind of boss that shouts “you’re lucky to have a job!” in at least one staff meeting per week

[@savage_skirt5386]

Right? I also get that vibe

[@thesimulations8900]

He's always been a smug prick. Funny but still a prick. Doesn't seem awesome to work for. New rules still makes me laugh. Wouldn't without writers. His stand up is just his show live. Nothing new. Seen him twice. Same schtick.

[@aristotle736]

He probably alternates between smug and arrogant in his dealings with the writers.

[@candaceewell9582]

It made me unsubscribe and I have literally been a fan since the 90's and this was the straw.... there have been a lot of straws with him lately!

[@Pyrolonn]

You mean when you're having your car or house repaired you don't demand that the work is done properly and diligently?

[@KAZVorpal]

I'm in a similar boat: When Bill said Wes Anderson, I was thinking he meant Wes Craven.

[@mobeus84]

He's had so many people deny the weed that he doesn't even offer it up anymore LOL

[@Cat-gl9cm]

I never realized that Jim G. sounds so much like John Malkovich. And now i am in love with him.

[@RadioSnivins]

Always good to see a chair proficient guest

[@CrAck-MoNey]

The reason late night shows last is their personality, and streaming. I really loved this one. Just comics swapping stories. No B.S., no competing, just loving company.

[@chillones9574]

Writers strike needs to end, I need me some "Real Time".

[@KennethKramer-y7d]

God Bill never stops talking. I fast forwarded it randomly and it was just Bill yapping again about marriage.

[@SquashBlossom62]

Wow! Jim is looking good! Just starting to watch....brb.

[@michellemarieortiz9043]

Richard 😂 was amazing on your show! I had hopes that the chair had a handle to just click back and relax 😂!!!!

[@MR-mc6rj]

It was very kind of Jim to keep Bill company while he interviewed himself. I like Bill but sometimes I get the impression if he was an ice-cream he'd lick himself to death. Love Jim, brilliant, funny, decent guy.
