Ms. Pat and Bill Maher had a good laugh during their most recent podcast, “Club Random”. Bill said that Ms. Pat’s show on BET+ gave her free reign to be more politically incorrect than he ever could. Ms. Pat, whose real name is Patricia Williams, is a comedian who has made a name for herself by poking fun at those who take offense to everything.
The two had a lot to say about people who take offense to everything in their conversation. Bill joked that Ms. Pat was given a special pass when it comes to politically incorrect comedy, and Ms. Pat responded with a few of her own wisecracks. They both agreed that it’s hard to stay away from conversations that involve topics that can be seen as offensive, and that as comedians, they are often on the receiving end of criticism.
Their conversation then shifted to the importance of being able to laugh at yourself. Bill said that it’s important to be able to look at yourself critically and make fun of yourself, and Ms. Pat agreed. She said that it’s important to be able to laugh at yourself and not take everything too seriously.
“It’s refreshing,” Maher said of Ms. Pat’s sitcom. “People are feeling very stifled, people feel there’s too much of, ‘ You can’t say that…’”
“I say what the fuck I want to say,” Ms. Pat said. “I mean, why is the world such a pussy these days?” (RELATED: ‘They Don’t Hate Women’: Bill Maher Defends Pro-Lifers)
“Exactly. Why is the world such a pussy?” Maher asked.
“People go crying and they’re ready to jump off a ledge at any little thing you say. It’s the kids that we’re raising today. They don’t work for shit. We give them everything. That’s why they turn into a bunch of hoes and be crying all the time,” Ms. Pat said. “Instead of being honest to kids, they want to pamper them and make the world easy for everybody. The world ain’t east. I cuss at my kids and people say, ‘How can you cuss at your kids?’ I said, ‘Because when they get into the real world and somebody says, “Fuck off,” they won’t fall into the ground.’”
“Who would have ever thought it, you and I are the role models America needs,” Maher said. “We are.”
Maher is a vocal opponent of political correctness and counterculture. He advised liberals to cease pandering to “the people who just want to bitch” in 2021.
I know that Maher claims to be a bleeding-heart liberal but I have to say, I like the guy. He seems way more centered than I think he realizes.
They both agreed that it’s important to be able to laugh at yourself and not take everything too seriously. They also agreed that it’s important to recognize when something is said in jest and not take it personally. At the same time, they both agreed that it’s important to recognize when something is said with malicious intent and take the appropriate action in that situation.
The two ended their conversation by laughing and agreeing that it’s important to learn how to laugh at yourself and not take everything too seriously. It’s a lesson that everyone can benefit from, and it’s a conversation that will no doubt continue in the future.
