Cheryl Hines does a fabulous job of establishing rapport with Bill Maher right at the beginning of this Club Random podcast.

I'm listening to the whole thing, but only 26 minutes in.

She's fascinatingly skillful at personal interaction... and he appreciates it. He raises the dumb subject of wearing orange — because it's "right before Halloween" — and somehow she's got him talking about women in "blood red" lingerie and how he doesn't want to be touching a woman wearing leather in the middle of the night....


They talk about Bobby and Trump too. Watch it for yourself.

Funny she doesn’t sound in any way like the stupid starlet that the lefties here said she is just last week when her book and the intra-family kerfuffle at the matriarch’s wake.

…were the gist of the Host’s post. (This fell off before I hit publish above)

Steve said...

Who's Cheryl Hines? In fact who are any of these new talking heads?

Curious George said...

Cheryl Hines and RFK Jr. in a conversation, both thinking "God that voice!"

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

She should have been more understanding that there was a bad connection and the TiVo guy was there.

I tapped out Maher’s Andy Rooney- You ever notice… I’m glad Ann found something entertaining for a few hours. Jealous I am…

Joe Bar said...

I haven't got to this one yet, but she's been on Adam Carolla and other podcasts. She seems like a nice, interesting person.

I'm shallow. She's hot.

Aggie said...

Maher isn't used to people taking a personal interest in him, and he's flattered, and responsive. I think he has developed his craft as a way to be popular in life, but his guests always see him as the interviewer, someone doing his job, and they're there to be pumped - and he's just the qualified attendant.

Robert said...

Listened to her on other podcasts. Very smart person. Does her research. Improvisational comedy background. Very, very impressive.

narciso said...

Right and he went to Hugh Hefners strickly for research purpose

Original Mike said...

An Open Letter to Molly McNearney, Jimmy Kimmel’s Wife

Apropos to their conversation (at least the beginning of it).

Peachy said...

Nothing wrong with noticing that she is hot. When you're hot your hot.

Peachy said...

you're

Aggie: "they're there to be pumped - and he's just the qualified attendant."

I've run across this in my own life. CC, JSM

Peachy said...

I don't have over 2 hours. I'm taking care of elderly parents. My mother broke her hip. what is it with the hip breaking?

Canadian Bumblepuppy said...

The hip is big and brittle and when you're old it's the first point of failure.

Randomizer said...

Cheryl Hines is hotter than she looks.

She is a charming conversationalist. Hines is listening and responding to Maher in an authentic way, and both can talk about more than just politics.

’…and how he doesn't want to be touching a woman wearing leather in the middle of the night…’

It’s considered proper etiquette to remove the leather dom gear before going to sleep. Or so I’ve heard.

narciso said...

They mean a couch tmi

Beasts of England said...

’They mean a couch tmi’

lol

Big Mike said...

Two and a half hours? What a great excuse to postpone cleaning the bathrooms …

Maybe some other day.

Earnest Prole said...

It’s hard not to feel sympathy for a bleach-blonde Hollywood AWFL who must now defend her horndog husband’s nutty public health pronouncements.

RCOCEAN II said...

Nice conversation. Too bad Bill Maher is so fucking ugly, inside and out. I've never saw a man who went from below average to absolutely Goddamn fucking ugly in a few years.

Peachy said...

I will take sometimes perhaps "nutty" over - corrupt evil Fauci Chi Com(D) mass-disease-authoritarian forced Jab dog torture... for big pharma profits and Democrat Party power-grab.

Plus - we don't need red dye number 40.

rehajm said...

I did find something to watch- Democratic spokesman Jon Stewart cannot f@$&ing believe Congressional Democrats caved in the shutdown after Democrats tremendous election day victory at holding seats in deep blue places. His Democrat audience agrees…

Peachy said...

Jon Stewart is an asshole.

tommyesq said...

She is a charming conversationalist.

She has a career in improv, and spent 24 years on Curb Your Enthusiasm, which is largely unscripted. She clearly is good at thinking on her feet.

Iman said...

He’s a leftwing libertine, destined for a lonely old age.

Iman said...

…Bill Maher is. Stewart is asshoe.

Eva Marie said...

1. Looks like Bill Maher has found someone to settle down with.
2. The dynamic here is very interesting. She’s both one of the boys and a feminist.
3. Scott Adams says framing an issue is important.
This is Maher’s framing: Why isn’t the left (or the right - in my opinion) interested in gender apartheid. I can’t decide if that’s the banner under which to fight for women’s rights around the world.But it’s interesting.

Deep State Reformer said...

Two people I don't care about at all.

Rosalyn C. said...

Hines was so much more at ease and flirtatious with Bill Maher than with Billy Bush. Completely different outfits, etc.

Curious George said...

"tommyesq said...

Unscripted yes, but Curb only had 12 seasons.

"After an initial run of eight seasons, the show went on hiatus in 2011 but returned for a ninth season in 2017. The tenth season aired in 2020, followed by the eleventh in 2021. The twelfth and final season premiered on February 4, 2024, concluding the series on April 7, 2024."

Mary Beth said...

"I was reading Kamala Harris' book...."
"What, did you lose a bet?"
This was leading up to Hines saying that Harris had written in her book about how they had tried to free the hostages and that it just couldn't be done. It was part of a bigger discussion of how the left didn't want to give Trump any credit for it.

Butkus51 said...

Maher is a bitter clinger. Always will be.

Ampersand said...

Hines got a chance to show us who she is: Intelligent, observant, a clever converstionalist. It takes a lot of toughness and courage to be married to her husband. Good on her.

Tina Trent said...

And to think Caroline Scholesberger's son called RFK Jr.'s wife "dry" and offered to give her oral sex. And offered to impregnate the VP's wife.

And has been accused of holding his girlfriend's head under the water until she was struggling.

How many Kennedy men's dead female victims does it take to fill an elevator?

Gee, I don't know. Ask the leftist band, the Dead Kennedys. They might have a bead on it.

Tina Trent said...

Why is RFK Jr. any nuttier than Michelle Obama, as he recommends similar better physical exercise? By the way, my PA 'sort of suggested' I don't get a Covid shot again because of other health issues, but nobody has the balls to say it out loud.

Meanwhile, Michelle is bragging about getting hair extensions (harvest from actual slaves) as being her true self.

I can't disagree. What a dishonest cunt. Is there nobody in the media, or academia, or the judiciary, who will ask her a real question about why she spent eight years, almost daily, with terrorists who killed innocent cops, security guards, and tried to kill hundreds of soldiers' families, then lied about it over and over? Cunt.

Tina Trent said...

Even her mother was disgusted.
