Behind the Aegis
(54,074 posts)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.

(207,016 posts)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.

Side bar: why doesnt Real Time release the panel discussion? So annoying to miss that part.
Cheers!

(207,016 posts)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...

(2,272 posts)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.

(63,221 posts)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!

(207,016 posts)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!

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.

(8,020 posts)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.
