Hi, friends. This is What a Creep, the podcast that talks about creeps of the past and the present.

My name is Sonia Mansfield. If this is your first time listening to the show, welcome. It doesn't normally sound like this.

If you haven't heard my podcasting co-host, my podcasting sister from another mister and my friend Margot Donahue passed away in July and I am currently

re-releasing some of our old episodes that were behind the paywall with a new intro until the show

returns with new episodes probably in October. I have a series of guest hosts who will come on and

we'll talk about creeps. So, and we'll never run out of

materials. So don't worry, the show will be back. But in the meantime, we had gotten a request to

replay the Bill Maher episode. And I'm more than happy to do that because we've been hating

Bill Maher since before it was cool. Like, before everyone else was doing it, we don't fuck with Bill Maher here. What a creep. He sucks. He's a garbage person. He's in the news every week, spewing his anti-trans bullshit and like, you know, talk about everything's woke and you can't joke about certain things. And it's like, no, we just don't like jokes that punch down. That's a

garbage take. He was in the news in the last 24 hours because he's been talking shit about

Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert and John Oliver because he says that they basically just

parrot MSNBC talking points. And no, they're not doing those things.

What they're doing is saying, we don't fuck with fascism.

And they can make that clear.

And they can tell these, these comedians are actual comedians who make jokes that make people laugh without punching down.

Bill Maher is very much a, like, kids these days,

he's basically Andy Rooney.

And if you don't know who Andy Rooney is,

you should Google it or ask your grandparents.

But he's very, like, kids these days,

and, you know, trans people this and woke that.

And he's so tired.
