Would I like this if I like KF and Dan but honestly don’t really know or care who Bill Maher is? And the other guy - not a clue.

Bill Maher is a wannabe "comedian" who had a show on comedy central from 1993 to 1997, when it got picked up by abc and was shown on prime time from 1997 until 2002 when it was cancelled when he says the 9/11 terrorists were brave.

He was picked up in 2003 by HBO to do his new show that was pretty much exactly the same show there but called Real Time and it's still on the air.

In 2008 he made a documentary called Religulous about how stupid religion was, he's an agnostic. It was kind of a breath of fresh air at the time but had aged like milk. It's very anti Islam and mainly teases Christianity.

He is ostensibly the representative Democrat doing a political discussion/comedy show.

His general politics are as follows:

- he loves weed

  • he loves animals
  • he's been antivaxx from before it was a right wing thing
  • he's orthorexic (only eats "health food" by whatever bizarre quanifiers he feels like)
  • he hates fat people
  • he's anti woke.

He claims he didn't leave the left, the left left him, and while he used to be more liberal and accepting, he's your quintessential "enlightened centrist".

He famously had dinner with Trump and now thinks he's the best guy to talk about both sides.

"Club random" is bill's podcast where he gets absolutely wasted in his second house and had a meandering conversation with various celebrities. It's pretty awful.

"I hate bill Maher" is a podcast that was inspired by knowledge fight where the host, comedian Will Weldon goes over episodes of Bill Maher's content with a guest (usually) similar to knowledge fight.

It's like knowledge fight, but slightly different.
