It\u2019s why stars soldier on, defying Climate Change experts who rail against private jets\u2019 carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p>Bill Maher is self-aware enough to see the hypocrisy in play. He just can\u2019t help himself.<\/p>\n<p>The HBO talker shared his rationale for embracing private jet use with guest Dana Carvey on the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0Z3M1mtmdnvMgTbO27LHkB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cClub Random\u201d podcast,<\/a> debuting Dec. 4. Carvey, the \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d legend behind Garth (\u201cWayne\u2019s World\u201d), The Church Lady and other characters, shared classic stories with Maher tied to their show business days.<\/p>\n<p>Carvey\u2019s memories of acting alongside Mickey Rooney are worth the listen alone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/dana-carvey-destroys-socialism\/\"><strong>RELATED: DANA CARVEY CRUSHES SOCIALISM<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The chummy comics mulled working together in the future, with Maher coaxing Carvey to join him on a tour stop in Hawaii.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo let\u2019s do it before you f***ing die, or I f***ing die,\u201d Maher said, referencing the late Gilbert Gottfried as an example of a peer taken far too soon.<\/p>\n<p>The podcaster sweetened the deal by vowing a fun-filled private jet experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure I should feel guilty about it, but I don\u2019t. I say this now, the only people who don\u2019t like private [jets], are the ones who can\u2019t [fly them],\u201d Maher said. \u201cAnybody who can would, except for Greta and a few other people. And we\u2019re not really\u00a0doing anything, I don\u2019t see, as a group of humans to solve this problem. We keep talking\u00a0about it, but we don\u2019t really do anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maher suggested him swearing off private jets would have a microscopic impact on the climate, especially if he\u2019s the only one making the sacrifice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just don\u2019t feel like me adding this is making a difference. And we either do this as a group. I\u2019m just not gonna be the one schmuck, you know, not enjoying my life,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll humans who\u2019ve ever been on a private jet, understand it. All of us understand it,\u201d Carvey said, cracking Maher up.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cClub Random\u201d host brought up Greta Thunberg, the teen activist blaming her parents\u2019 generation for getting us into the current situation.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GretaThunberg?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GretaThunberg<\/a> may be the conscience of her generation, but she doesn\u2019t represent it.

Right, you\u2019re just with Greta on a sailboat all the time. You\u2019re using cars as much as we do, so shut the f*** up! You know what, we\u2019re all decided that we\u2019re just gonna drive over the Grand Canyon, and have a great time on our way.
