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! Buy Joe's Book \"The Highlands Burn\" Support I Hate Bill Maher on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
