      It’s even worse than the article makes out. There’s stuff that he says that they didn’t cover. At one point the kid describing the show Modern Family to him talks about how one of the couples is a much older man married to a much younger woman. He then says, to a couple of little girls, “nothing wrong with that.” He made the Sofia Viagra joke just after that.

        That’s terrible. He clearly does not know how to have appropriate conversations with children, and his drinking clearly didn’t help. I don’t know who thought this was a good idea.

          He thought it was a good idea. It’s his own podcast and I’m guessing you don’t tell Bill Maher no on his podcast, especially after years of being able to shake off people telling him no.

          The only answer to this is that Bill Maher thinks getting drunk and creeping on kids in an internationally-released video and podcast on multiple platforms is a good idea.

          And I hope the parents of these kids feel bad about letting them on his show, but they’re probably fans of Maher, so they probably don’t.

    The pink elephant in the room here is that Maher is famously never not imbibing during episodes of Club Random, so much so that he even refused to cut back on the alcohol and weed consumption at the request of prospective guest Steve-O, who has been sober for 16 years.

    I have much more respect for Steve-O than for Bill Maher.

    Why is he so awful? I don’t remember him being this much of a chode.
