Comedian/all the related attributes of doing comedy Steve Hernandez joined the show to talk about Real Time season 2, episode 3, literally one day before the 2024 presidential election, which barely even comes up. Steve talks about his love of blowhards, realizing qualities he once thought were good might actually be not as good, and then finally an episode of Real Time that, if I'm being honest, I really struggled to get through. Sean Astin makes no sense, Larry Miller is... fuck, man. I can't handle him. The most surprising thing about the whole thing was the revelation that Patty Duke is Sean Astin's mom, which I didn't even actually hear until I was pulling clips for the edit.

Comedian/long time friend Jane Harrison joined the show talk about Real Time season 2, episode 2. I know this episode is very late, but I have several excuses, all of which vary in quality. What's important is that this episode features the single best panelist the show has had so far, and also God damned David Frum. Fuckin' Canadians, man... This one is a little less focused than normal, right down to multiple people complaining about what an asshole my cat is. Oh, and at one point Jane goes "who's that, he's cute" and she was referring to Tyler Glasnow, not the batting coach like I thought she meant, which in retrospect should've been obvious to me.

Once upon a time, Bill Maher was an "actor/comedian", as opposed to "breaker of new ways to think about stories/comedian", and his first starring role was 1985's Sara, which also stars Geena Davis and Alfre Woodard (which is insane, by the way.) Writer Ella Dawson returns to talk about the show generally, Bill Maher's performance specifically, and then hypothesize what a world where this show was a hit would have looked like.
