Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO late night series Real Time with Bill Maugh.

Thank you very much. How are you? Thank you. Thank you very much. How are you?

Okay. Thanks for coming out. Thank you. Thank you, people. Thank you very much. Please sit down. It's nice.

Thank you. It's nice to see so many familiar masks. But I think I know why you're happy today. We are in the yellow zone in LA County, the yellow zone. Whatever the hell that is, we're in the yellow zone.

I know it's good. It's good. It means that soon all Californians were able to do the things that all Californians want to do, like eat in a restaurant, indoors, visit a museum, run for governor.

Things, all of us do. Now we did, hey, we'll pat on the back for us. We did good out here. Los Angeles County has had several days now, this week without anyone dying from COVID.

Although, although quite a few were crushed to death by their peloton treadmill, I just have to admit. Do you have one of those? Wow. The peloton finally relented. They're recalling 126,000 of these treadmills. Apparently they're dangerous to small children who can get sucked into them.

Also to parents because they create the illusion you can run away. But you know what you cannot really run away from. Did you see this? There's a friggin 23 ton Chinese rocket booster. What are you doing this weekend? That's coming down to earth.

People, countries, send up satellites and shit and they got to send them up on a rocket. This thing is 10 stories high. Usually I guess they just orbit. This one's no going into what they call a uncontrolled reentry this weekend. China said it's very unlikely to cause any harm.

I believe them because after all one of they ever let something get. Now go on to the next joke. They're way ahead of me. They're way ahead of me. That's a good cryout. They've been up to finish that joke.

It is Mother's Day Sunday. You excited about that? As always a heartwarming story about spawning on Mother's Day that I never find heartwarming. This week, guess what it is? This week in Mally, the country of Mally in Africa, a woman gave birth to nine babies at the same time. Take that, Octomom.

Octomom tired. Mally wired. Nine babies. Mom is resting comfortably. Dad walks straight into the ocean with his clothes on.

Nine babies. From Mother's Day, Hallmark has a special card they made for QAnon moms. Said, Rose's red, violets are blue. You're the best mom. Biden eats babies.

Oh, QAnon, they have to say, you hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem in the Republican Party is not going away. It is not going away.

Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney. I was pretty much against this guy nine years ago when he ran. Now he's like the voice of moderation. Went to Utah where he's a saint to make a speech. They booed him off the stage.

This is like Lindsey Graham getting booed on Fire Island. I mean...

And Mitt Romney, he said to the crowd, aren't you embarrassed? And they were like, we're 300 pounds. They're a crox on our feet. We're wearing a Trump flag as a cape. What do you think?

Now they are... The Kuku Wing is in control. Liz Cheney. Another one. Liz Cheney. Dora Riddick Cheney. Could you have deeper Republican roots than Liz Cheney?

She's about to lose her leadership position in the Congress because she will not embrace the idea that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. And the Republican Party truth will set you free from your job.

Not really a joke, but a fine idea.

It was totally not expecting a laugh there. Thank you for not giving it to me. Would have just encouraged the writers.

But you know, the problem is that Trump is still out there and he's got a new platform even though he was thrown off Facebook. Again, Facebook, by the way, this week they voted. They had a big conclave there.
