I saw Henry Winkler on here and Winkler was on his phone for about 20 minutes of the show searching for someone's name while Bill was trying to talk with him..😂
These two people are polar opposites, in personality and at stages of their careers. Bill handled it by talking incessantly. Sebastian handled it by soaking i all in. I love Sebastian and I hope he realizes how much we need him and his humor in this world!
He has tradition Italian-American family values. He knows he's in a business. I'm sure he's seen a bunch of talented people who are busy burning themselves out. He's not that guy. He was raised to be a good boy. That's why he's appalled at how some people act, and that's part of his act. He's worked a long time to get where he is. So now the key is to maintain what he's got. Bravo. He is no doubt a good son, a good brother, and is trying to be a good family man. I like him even more.
I always take comedians as great conversationalists but Sebastian seems pretty tame. Probably only acts out on stage and is actually pretty mellow. 180 degree shift from stage to real life.
@@debv1578 Maher should read the room. Sebastian isn’t all about drugs and pussy talk Mahers tone is so condescending in their interview. Maybe he’s jealous of Sebastian’s rise in popularity.
I love Sebastian “what are you doing on a daily basis?” Lol. Half way in it has turned Sebastian basically turned into the interviewer. Oh my gosh. Sebastian is so hilarious and incredibly talented. He is also obviously so down to earth.
Bill Maher's guest have been on point, the downfall of this show...Bills inability to be quiet and let his guests talk. It's almost as if they get a bit uncomfortable with opening completely up because they get steamrolled constantly.
@@mecarr Everytime he brings up kids, he gets off subject and never said what he didn't like or like. He gets high and never stays focused. I think Bill would have a smart, neurotic kid but he at this point knows it wont happen and always overcompensates for his not wanting them. Just say it wasn't in the stars for me. You don't have to put down everyone's child like they are all raised "free range".
@@deb9806 Its more than that though. I don't disagree with you, but I think Bill still feels people that are having kids are doing it because they're "supposed to", not cause they want to. Which, granted, he's probably right about a bunch of people. But its 1. not everyone, and 2. doesn't mean these people didn't feel totally different once they had kids and are glad.
Definitely weird chemistry. I love them both but not together. Bill should read the room and lay off the weed for certain guests. He's talking way too much about gangster movies--which is kind of insensitive. Sebastian needs to learn to be more relaxed when outside his natural habitat. He brought no funny to this interview-- despite being a REALLY funny guy.
Perfect opportunity for a five minute laugh riot monologue but...no. Sebastion came up with a great routine to get famous but I don't see longevity in him.
I would bet that, if you looked at a transcript of this episode, Maher does 96% of the talking. I think Sebastian was mentally making a list of things he'd do when he got back home. He actually looks politely bored.
He gave much better interviews with other people, I saw a podcast after this with Neil Brennan and a TV talk show where he was relaxed, funny and introspective.
Things Bill wants us to know EVERY show: He was on Johnny Carson a lot, he was friends with Hugh Hefner, he really doesn't drink a lot, he leads a great life, he loves the whole rat Pack thing, he hates kids, this is not a podcast, he loves the room he's in, he loves not being married, he likes to smoke pot like an 18 yr old who people think smokes pot and think he's cool for it, he's really not interested in anything the guest has to say and just wants to flip that into one of his talking points, he did a show called Politically Correct before anyone else, he hates guys that have bro friends, he told us Trump wouldn't leave, he knows how to talk to and pick up women, he thinks everything after Gen X is terrible, he gets up late, he thinks people are too fat, he went to Cornell, he hates the big cities and prefers a house in the suburbs, he knows a lot about the Beatles, geography, history, and the Playboy Mansion and pretty much all else....... Rinse, repeat...
And yet you showed up to watch, support his channel, and commented on it further increasing his brand and influence. It’s like you are so salty you don’t realize how stupid you are.
Maher isn't used to sharing space. He invites people into his space but doesn't live that way. It is a learned thing to share and you don't have to be married or have kids but any committed relationships help.
At 27:45 you can see Sebastian just highly amused as he sits back and observes Bill talking and talking and talking and never missing a beat. Bill truly does have that down to an art and I mean that in a positive way-- he never runs out of a thing to say without a break.
I really enjoy Club Random. Kid Rock was my favorite guest - great interview! This episode didn’t hit for me, but I love SB!! His comedy is GOLD! Go watch that for a fun time!
I so agree..Bill seems to me to be trying his best to prove he’s just a regular guy..well most regular guys don’t act like asses……lSebastian ..such a gentleman..must be wondering how he got there..just sayin…🇨🇦
This wasn’t as bad as I thought after reading all the comments. I think everyone is expecting the high energy Sebastian we see on stage. I think this is the real Sebastian who is just laid back and introverted. I plan to listen to one of his podcasts to confirm this theory. Bill had to talk a lot to fill in the gaps. I thought he did a good job to carry the conversation.
Haha. He really does seem to carefully cultivate an image. In his defense, he did hustle for years with little-to-no success. I remember seeing him in a Vince Vaughn hosted comedy special 15 years ago and he talked about having to work as a waiter during the day even though he’d been in LA for a long time. Still took him another decade to break.
@@patrickthomas8890 and just bought a $20M house, big nut to crack lol. Imagine just the taxes and insurance on that thing in the mountains that are constantly on fire.
Bill's mind at that age with so much added drug & alcohol stimulation. My God, what clarity. We can only wonder what he'd be like without it. 27:49 - Sebastián articulates my thoughts so eloquently here.
I definitely got the feeling that they didn't much care for each other and it felt awkward to watch. I thought Bill was a bit condescending to Sebastian at times.
Gotta love both these guys. Bill has been very instrumental in promoting truth, and Sabastian is similar in that he's honest about himself, so honesty and transparency is a great quality
I am a Maher fan as I assume most of you are as well.... but sorry, I can't give him a free pass. I understand this is a conversational, relaxed type of podcast but I want to hear from the guest... and I think you do that by asking the guest questions and follow up questions as well. BUT as usual Bill takes the opportunity to show everyone how smart he thinks he is. Getting a little old but I'm thinking from the comments I am in the minority. oh well. I'm sure I'll still stay tuned next week, hoping.
I know I don't speak for everyone, as I am sure many of you know him. But I like where this podcast has been going with its guests. That is like 3-4/5 now that I had not heard of or known anything about. And they have all been winners as far as the intrigue is concerned. That denotes effort to me, and it is effort that is so rewarding for your viewers. A+
At first I was shocked by Sebastian's low energy and borderline depressed vibe. But, as time went on he opened up and I think Bill respected his authenticity and values. Good meeting!
Not sure why Sebastian agreed to do the podcast. He seemed uncomfortable, even when Bill tried to loosen him up. I guess I was waiting for the stage version of SM. Still respect/love them both. 😎
@@AE-bm4no I think he was trying to say anything controversial, especially considering Bill is getting drunk and high through the course of the podcast…and buzzed people tend to say provocative things
I inadvertently learn about things and places while enjoying Bills discussions. I Googled Macau and learned a lot about that interesting place. I paused at 20 minutes to search and then post this. There's a chance that I'll add an edit to this as I continue watching. Thanks for the random lessons Bill.
@@brianmeen2158 I'd imagine Bill asked him many, many, many times. Sebastian was great with Seinfeld, he likely had no Idea what this would be like and it just isn't his scene.
Bill said he was not the kinda person who thinks all Italians are mob related, yet proceeded to ask Sebastian more than once if he was connected to the mob. Seriously? Must be the liquor/weed talking 😅
I found Bill’s attitude towards Italian Americans quite insulting. I believe that is why Sebastian shut down. Bill sounded like a trick pony. I love Bill Maher but he was drowning in this interview.
Bill is an idiot. I was working at a comedy club in Chicago when Maher came through to headline in the early 90s and he was the biggest pos in the world, and this was before Politically Incorrect. He was as insanely rude as imaginary me to literally every single person there. It was astounding.
Bill is never without words amazing memory for a pot smoker. I think Bill just needs someone on his podcast to listen to him. Just sit there and listen to me ramble. Love it.
I liked their chemistry. Because of the age and experience difference, Seb was happy to listen and take in Bill as a mentor. Last week was horrible when Bill was talking over Tarantino, and forcing his ideas (in a funny but annoying way).
damn this one was painful to watch I'm not sure why Sebastian Maniscalco agreed to come on his show when he showed zero interest in even conversing and they literally had nothing in common. Bill definitely took every opportunity to shit on the poor guy lol I really love to see Bill do a full 2 hours with Jerry Seinfeld I think that'll be fireworks because he knows how to respond back to him.
Sebastian was fine with Jerry, so it's clearly that he isn't comfortable with Bill's adolescent format of a stoned loser in a basement babbling incessantly. Go figure.
This guy is funny when he has a prepared comedy routine that he has already written to fall back on but he seems shy and quiet and kind of aloof here. I'm not sure why someone would go on a loose freewheeling podcast like this if unless they wanted to laugh and chat it up.
was this really awkward for anyone else? Sebastian isn't the best interview, he was really sleepy on Rogan too but getting someone that doesn't want to engage with someone that interrupts and is all over the place is kind of a miss. Sucks because I love them both.
I love it when Bill talks movies. He really knows his shit. I’d love to listen to him talk about his favorite movies on a movie podcast. Would be cool if he did one just reviewing some old classics that he likes. There’s a cool podcast idea: Bill Maher reviews classic films with new guest each week.
First: Comments are really about the person writing them. Second: I always check out Maniscalco cuz even tho his mind is as far away from mine as it’s possible to get….he always makes me laugh. 😎🐈⬛ :)
I am Sebastian -- at least the guy on stage. He and I have the same thoughts. I always loved the guy. One of the best. But holy hell, my boy is boring off stage. The last special was sloppy. Lazy. Off. I think one of the best guests on Billy's Podcast was Rob Schneider. Rob is truly a fun guy. How can so many of these guys go to Billy's house and not have a drink and a smoke? They just sit there like boring humps....
Bill talks over his guest and also will answer the question he just asked. Just like he does on RealTime with the opening interview. I still watch because he’s clever and funny.
I chose this particular episode BECAUSE of Mahers’ guest. I’m here for Sebastian. I can enjoy Maher but when he gets stoned, he can’t give a moment to his guests. SM is almost an audience member.
I swear he has these celebrities on just so he can have a conversation with someone about stuff he wants to get off his chest. It’s his own therapy. He barely asked him any questions or anything about Sebastian lol.
Sebastian is a reserved introvert. He likes to start slow, scope the new surroundings/people out, and then go in after he gets comfortable. That’s why it starts slow and then he loosens up and it got good around 20% in. You’re welcome and enjoy the show. This was a really good discussion. On a side note, I had absolutely no idea Bill Maher loves the Italian Mafia so much. 😂 Bro was fan-boying like crazy.
I’m a reserved introvert but I still know how to have a good back and forth conversation. Sebastian didn’t seem to want to say much here do it made it a bit boring imo
I think that like 5 minutes in, Sebastian is thinking "why the fuck am I here" -
I'm wondering the same thing.
Yup me too
Well, we did learn that Sebastian’s a good listener.
I saw Henry Winkler on here and Winkler was on his phone for about 20 minutes of the show searching for someone's name while Bill was trying to talk with him..😂
Bill Mahr is on a whole different page. Sebastian is wholesome and clearly uncomfortable with Bill’s vulgarity. Yes it is you Bill.
These two people are polar opposites, in personality and at stages of their careers. Bill handled it by talking incessantly. Sebastian handled it by soaking i all in. I love Sebastian and I hope he realizes how much we need him and his humor in this world!
Bill was high.

This is what Bill does. He invites interesting people to listen to him talk to them for an hour.
That was about as entertaining as a distant relatives wake!
He is great on stage but so boring in interviews.
The guest was somewhat nonverbal for a comedian.
Lofl I thought the same thing. Kept waiting for the conversation to pick up but it never did. Definitely not Bills fault this time

@@nunyabizwacks6711 100%
Bill about to put ice cubes in sebastians glass with his fingers. This would have made Sebastian go crazy in his head.

Lmao. U r Sooo right!!
Lol
Change your cubes!!!!
Bill - *sees an Italian guy*
"Alright ! I get to do an hour of mob wisecracks and quotes from Godfather!"
Was so excited to see Sebastian as the guest; then extremely disappointed when he couldn’t get a word in.
He had no words to get in. Bill had to keep the convo going.
I always take comedians as great conversationalists but Sebastian seems pretty tame. Probably only acts out on stage and is actually pretty mellow. 180 degree shift from stage to real life.
Sebastian is checked out for some reason. Either he didn't gel with Bill's vibe, or something is going on in his personal life.

I feel you, but it almost feels like he is treating these kind of just like hangouts and not really interviews.
You hit the nail on the head.. I almost felt uncomfortable it's not even fun for sabastian
Agreed. He's turning into that waffling old man who needs to list the obvious.
i feel bill comes off a bit egocentric at times. i love the podcast still but sometimes bill can get in the way of what could have been a great convo.
This podcast is therapy for bill
His guests are shrinks he can talk to
I think you are right. From Maher’s perspective, he is single with no kids. So, unless he has the podcast, who is he going to be talking to?

Phenomenal performance by Sébastien as Crazy Joe Gallo in The Irishman.
Sebastian Maniscalco has done his kindness for the year!
Bill Maher would do well to listen more.
“Who are your favorite explorers?”

If Sebastian had just been quick enough to say "Dora" everything woulda been golden.
Happy birthday Bill from Livingston Guatemala Caribbean 🍰🍰🧨🧨🧨🎉🎉🥳🥳🥰
Sebastian has a nice vibe !
This was more Sebastion interviewing Bill than the other way around. As a Gen X'er, I am very much like Sebastian, very quiet.

The reason that the Wynn attracts such a huge Chinese crowd is it's on the end of spring mountain which is where Chinatown in Las Vegas is.
"Is this your vibe? What do you do socially? Like you got no family."

Bill is never without words amazing memory for a pot smoker. I think Bill just needs someone on his podcast to listen to him. Just sit there and listen to me ramble. Love it.
Sebastian is just taking it all in. I really like this conversation. Good times
Exactly
yee this guest sucks......total career man
I liked their chemistry. Because of the age and experience difference, Seb was happy to listen and take in Bill as a mentor. Last week was horrible when Bill was talking over Tarantino, and forcing his ideas (in a funny but annoying way).
is that what you thought, I thought Bill kept cutting him of. Go back and watch it, he can't finish a sentence.
That's more like what I call a one-sided conversation. The kind I have when I'm by myself.
Perfect day to upload👌 these shows
Why is Sebastian Maniscalco even invited?! LOL
when sebastion said 8 x 7 is 56, i died. guy trying to fit in
I’m going to be 50 in 2024. Lol and I was terrified if I was going to be held back in school and be called a R. Lol. It pushed us to be better. 💗🌟🇦🇺🤣
Retard
damn this one was painful to watch I'm not sure why Sebastian Maniscalco agreed to come on his show when he showed zero interest in even conversing and they literally had nothing in common. Bill definitely took every opportunity to shit on the poor guy lol I really love to see Bill do a full 2 hours with Jerry Seinfeld I think that'll be fireworks because he knows how to respond back to him.
Sebastian was fine with Jerry, so it's clearly that he isn't comfortable with Bill's adolescent format of a stoned loser in a basement babbling incessantly. Go figure.
You know, at this point it almost serves him right for agreeing to go on this show to begin with. What did he expect?
Bill never really let him talk and the constant Godfather shit got annoying real fast. Maher is really bad at podcasting.
@@jhlfsc maybe he expected to be talking to an adult?
@@katashley1031
That's charitable, but there's enough evidence out there for nearly the past decade to indicate otherwise.
Jeez, thank god for Bill’s personality to carry this one
Bill never gives him a chance
Same thing happened when Jerry Seinfeld had him on comedians getting coffee.
@@mickael486same thing when Rogan had him on his podcast too. I don’t think Sebastian likes the whole podcast/talk show thing tbh. That’s fine tho
This guy is funny when he has a prepared comedy routine that he has already written to fall back on but he seems shy and quiet and kind of aloof here.
I'm not sure why someone would go on a loose freewheeling podcast like this if unless they wanted to laugh and chat it up.
@@christiancasper322 Thank F for that coz when he did the tone went down everytime
This dude with the explorer name didn't bring anything to the table.
The funniest thing was Bill stereotyping the hell out of this poor schmo.
Maher talked WAY too much here.
Makes me think of that line from "Night Shift": "This is Chuck reminding Bill to SHUT. UP." lol
was this really awkward for anyone else? Sebastian isn't the best interview, he was really sleepy on Rogan too but getting someone that doesn't want to engage with someone that interrupts and is all over the place is kind of a miss. Sucks because I love them both.
"Holding Forth" with Bill Maher. I just watched Sebastian's last special. Good, good stuff! loved the throwback to a Vegas show vibe.
Sebastian summed it up early "Maybe I should smoke pot. Jesus Christ." Lol
Do you think Sebastian went home and said to his wife, “That guy is an A-hole. He wouldn’t let me speak!”
Love these solo shows 😅
I love it when Bill talks movies. He really knows his shit. I’d love to listen to him talk about his favorite movies on a movie podcast. Would be cool if he did one just reviewing some old classics that he likes. There’s a cool podcast idea: Bill Maher reviews classic films with new guest each week.
Gone with the Wind & The Godfather II
That would be entertaining.
I truly think Sebastians acting career will surpass his comedic career!!
Ya I love Bill’s casual Italian racism disguised as quoting mob movies.
@@velocirshtr3756 don't be such a snowflake. He was teasing.
Sebastian you have what I have . Catastrophising . Worrying about tomorrow . It's gone now , I retired . Great show
I had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened - Twain
Until your pension fund goes broke…😦
I'm impressed with 66 year-old Bill's memory ability, And being stoned doesn't seem to affect his recall in the least.
Marijuana doesn't always lead to decreased mental capabilities
That you know of...
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 that you know of either
@@bobbyrobinette5772 the drinking also helps. he's not only on weed.
but it affects his recall in the present because he's constantly loosing track and not returning to the point.
7 minutes in, and Bill hasn’t let Sebastian finish a sentence.
You need to leave!! 😡👉🏻
God Bill is an insufferable little penis. He clearly gives ppl the creeps in person, as well as from a distance.
Color me shocked. Bill loves to hear himself blowing smoke. Literally. What a mess.
Bill is always overtly disappointed if a guest doesn't smoke or sip.
First: Comments are really about the person writing them.
Second: I always check out Maniscalco cuz even tho his mind is as far away from mine as it’s possible to get….he always makes me laugh. 😎🐈⬛ :)
Did Sebastian take a downer before this?? Wow.
No, he just realized that he sat down with a self important hedonist jerk
I am Sebastian -- at least the guy on stage. He and I have the same thoughts. I always loved the guy. One of the best. But holy hell, my boy is boring off stage. The last special was sloppy. Lazy. Off. I think one of the best guests on Billy's Podcast was Rob Schneider. Rob is truly a fun guy. How can so many of these guys go to Billy's house and not have a drink and a smoke? They just sit there like boring humps....
Much respect to Sébastien for sticking around listening to a dolt in his cups.
I love when comedians make each other laugh. THAT is how you know you have two funny people in front of you.
Smart show Mr Bill! Sebastian Maniscalco is so low key, kind of like Eddie Murphy. Crazy funny people on stage, quiet and reflective off.
I like Random Club because I get to see the real Bill Maher. The not-so-cool, awkward, bombastic Bill.
Bill high asking: what do you think about_____?
Guest: Well I think____
Bill: Wrong
Maniscalco's comparison of Maher to Michael Jackson, stroke of genius 🎉😂
Bill knows how to take over and carry a show when his guest is quiet.
Well it's always about himself in the first place,just like every episode of his boomer cave.
Bill does this regardless of the guest.
The guest is quiet BECAUSE Maher takes over.
Bill talks over his guest and also will answer the question he just asked. Just like he does on RealTime with the opening interview. I still watch because he’s clever and funny.
I chose this particular episode BECAUSE of Mahers’ guest. I’m here for Sebastian. I can enjoy Maher but when he gets stoned, he can’t give a moment to his guests. SM is almost an audience member.
I swear he has these celebrities on just so he can have a conversation with someone about stuff he wants to get off his chest. It’s his own therapy. He barely asked him any questions or anything about Sebastian lol.
Sebastian is a reserved introvert. He likes to start slow, scope the new surroundings/people out, and then go in after he gets comfortable.
That’s why it starts slow and then he loosens up and it got good around 20% in. You’re welcome and enjoy the show. This was a really good discussion.
On a side note, I had absolutely no idea Bill Maher loves the Italian Mafia so much. 😂 Bro was fan-boying like crazy.
I’m a reserved introvert but I still know how to have a good back and forth conversation. Sebastian didn’t seem to want to say much here do it made it a bit boring imo
It’s called trying to maintain an image
Why are you saying you're welcome
@@brianmeen2158 Sebastian isn't a drug addict and is just fine talking to comics who actually listen. Makes a difference.
Sebastian Maniscalco is from my home town, though never knew him.
