Real Time is off this week, so I am, too! But I guess actually not really, because I still did some house keeping and played some voicemails at the start of this. Looking back on it, I definitely would not describe it as "focused and to the point" but what are you gonna do, y'know? And after that? Oh baby, it's a compilation of clips from I Especially Hate Bill Maher's "Bella Thorne Month" series of episodes. You get to hear from Stefan Heck & John Cullen, Lisa Curry, Emily Faye, and Allen Strickland Williams, whom I all had watch the Bella Thorne Club Random episode and then talk about it with me. Looking back on it I'm kind of like "What the hell was I thinking?" but I enjoyed it a lot. They didn't, so mission accomplished on my end, I guess. But in all seriousness, all of them are some of the funniest people I know, and they all noticed things I somehow had not in my previous fifteen viewings of this thing.

Will I ever starr getting these things out on time again? Who can say, plus I'm a father now: no one can ask anything of me ever again.

Writer and podcaster Joe Kassabian joins the show to talk about a Real Time episode that's heavy on Iran war talk, so of course the guests are 1. A former CIA agent, 2. A CNN legal correspondent, and 3. The loudest, dumbest man in sports media. I drove my parents to the airport at 3am and recorded this upon arriving home at like 4:30, and two hours prior to driving my parents I was awoken by a drainage pipe cracking and water spraying into our bedroom. I honestly think my being able to keep my energy level up until the last five minutes of this episode is pretty impressive. Also, did you know the airports are a mess right now? I just hope they aren't bothering you too much!

This is probably the most mixed up I've ever been with the order of the clips, but what are you gonna do. Anyway, Writer and comedian Jeremy Kaplowitz is my guest this week, and he gets to view the current show through the lens of someone who once watched Real Time because that was sort of what you did as a liberal in college 14 or so years ago! How was Real Time? Well, if you enjoy watching one panel member be systematically humiliated and ignored, mmmm this is the episode for you!
