THIS WEEK ON THE POD! We're confronted with the shocking face of representative Kay Granger, pre-disappearance into an elder care center! Also, who's "we"? Why, it's none other than myself, and my guest Janie Haddad Tompkins (writer/actor/PODCASTER!!!), who refuses to take my bait as I try to get her to engage in some regional beefing between her home state of South Carolina, and their bitter rivals to the North, Montana (I'm Canadian I don't have to know American Geography). I am chided for having some soft no judgement questions for her, and then we get into the episode: Would you believe there is more ongoing talk of "seven minutes"? Would you be excited for the kick off to Swift Boat '04? What are your thoughts on unguarded chemical plants? Well... that stuff's all in the episode.

Hello everyone, I'm doing that thing where a podcast takes a bye week (every week is a "bi week" in my apartment, heh heh... ha... ha) and just posts one of its Patreon episodes. Genuinely, I feel like an asshole for doing it, but I'm insanely behind on all the podcast stuff and then earlier today I fucked my throat up in the most embarrassing way possible, so I'm just going to take it easy and maybe learn to chew my food more thoroughly, a thing that typically only babies need to learn. Next week's episode WILL BE UP ON WEDNESDAY, and my guest is Janie Haddad Tompkins. After that it's writer Harry Waksberg, and then journalist Jeremy Appel, unless of course I somehow manage to get even more rice lodged in my esophagus, in which case I will end the podcast and go live in the woods, where I will eat nothing but a thin paste made from grinding up plant roots and mud.

Anyway, enjoy this special episode of "I Especially Hate Bill Maher", originally released on October 4th, in which comedians Adam Christie and John Hastings join me to figure out which episode of Club Random was more humiliating for Bill Maher, Bella Thorne or Hawk Tuah Haliey Welch. Also, it turns out Haliey Welch's first name is not spelled "Hailey", which I am stunned to have only just discovered.

Really annoying panelist on this week's episode. This week's guest is Megan Koester, a comedian and writer so proficient at hating people that THE NEWS has written about it. Hope you like hearing the words" 7 minutes".
