1. Best New Rules ever.

2. I love it when Bill pushes the envelope and shows off his comic talents

And one of the funniest parts was the reaction of his panel!

3. The reactions to "New Rules" by Bret Stephens and Bakari Sellers made me laugh even harder.

It was a good show. I don't know too much about Inslee, but I found him interesting. I also was glad to hear the discussion about anti-Semitism. So rare anymore.

5. I agree it was an excellent show this week

They discussed issues we needed to hear more about, plus it was exceptionally funny - which we really need right now. I also laughed at the guys on the panel laughing - they could discuss serious issues and also have a good time. And Bill may be anti religion, but he takes anti Semitism seriously. His mother was Jewish and his dad was Catholic, so he grew up with both religions - and I'm also glad to hear that Trump's offensive comments after Charlottesville are back in the news.

4. Great show

Thanks for sharing.

Side bar: why doesn’t Real Time release the panel discussion? So annoying to miss that part.

Cheers!

6. I don't know - they seem to just offer the main segments.

If they have a "funny bit" during the panel discussion, they often offer that, but this week it was all serious discussion until they got to New Rules...

8. While I don't ALWAYS

Agree with Bill I do most of the time. A comedic genius imo and he hits HARD. Even when I don't agree with what he says he makes me laugh anyway. Very good clips , thanks for posting.

9. Excellent show! One of the best in a long time!

All of the guests were great! I especially liked seeing Moby, he was quite entertaining, which I didn't expect. All in all, very funny!

The ASMR bit was hilarious as well. I didn't even know what it was until I watched this, but it was a hoot. Thanks for posting Rhiannon!

10. I sure agree, this was an exceptional show!

I wasn't sure what to expect since I wasn't familiar with everyone, but I have to agree that Moby was the breakout appearance, he helped Bill push the envelope this week and it paid off for the audience - including us and also the other guests!

And I'd never heard of ASMR, either. Bill used it to full advantage, LOL! And the weird thing was, when I had the TV on later - I saw the actual commercial that Bill used in one of his clips - it's really a beer ad!

12. There are all kinds of ASMR vids on youtube, are not only relaxing but can be quite entertaining

as they cosplay a lot or play famous people.
one of the most entertaining is Creative Calm ASMR, but there are many channels on my fav list. Its a must to have a good pair of headphones on to really get the full potential.

11. I've been into ASMR for almost a year now & it really does help as far as relaxing

I recognized a few of the ASMR faces, loved the joking around & am sure the ASMR community loved it as they are all very open, fun individuals & probably 99% progressive.
