Bill Maher, it would be great for you to invite John McEnroe back for further discussion. Tennis too. As most people know, talking about the nuances of tennis gets Mac pretty wound up in a food way. And civil rights to a degree it seems. Good to see him opinionated on subjects yet respectful to most people. And, the way he dislikes the Queen of England for all of that England hierarchy pomp & circumstance. God, I hope Mac lives much longer to see his additional insights.

John McEnroe is great. As a tennis fan, I love it when he's calling the match. I'll watch a match just to hear his commentary, no matter's who is playing. He's great cause he's so honest & will tell it like it is. Good thing he's not on social media cause he probably would've been cancelled. He got in hot water about 5 years ago because he dared to say that he didn't think Serena was the GOAT. It was a big controversy but he stuck to his guns, didn't change his opinion, and refused to apologize for what he said.

Mahers stupidity is further demonstrated by his moronic statement that the demented Brandon is doing a good job bringing normal back to the presidency and that this corrupt angry vindictive person is a nice person.

Well this will be interesting hahaha

Mr. Maher, We just completed a study in conjunction with the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Urban Justice and the University of Illinois Strive for Equality Project that concluded that out of 245,000 cases studied nationally 2020-2022 where a person was told, "Police, freeze, do not move, and put your hands in the air!", 29,645 failed to heed the warning of an armed law enforcement officer and attempted to flee jeopardizing their life, that officer and any other responding officers lives, as well as the lives of amy citizens who might serve as collateral damage through, crossfire, hostage, or other. In short, the study found only 41 times an officer fired a shot before being shot at and less than 25 times an unarmed, uncooperative assailant was killed. Facts do not support the slightest hint of growing racism, disregard for human rights, or police brutality among our nation's large and small police departments.

Hell yeah! You brining McEnroe on made this one of my new fav pods!

John looks great and he’s intelligent. Easily keeps up with Bill. And he called him out for taking cheap shots at Biden.

Mac won't be back ... he is not used to being dominated in a conversation. (too hard to get a full though in. Maher gabbed 85% of the show!)

Thank you for this Bill !!! love John , what a great show !!

Something didn't sit right with me when I started watching this one with John. I stopped and will come back to visit.

I enjoy the tempo of this. John always talks a little slower than average and it seems to allow him to actually THINK before mouthing the words. Many modern people seem to wanna talk fast and endlessly just to keep others from getting a word in, but they end up not actually saying much. John says a lot with few words!
