@@miggans21012 I hear ya. but man, I sure wouldn't sit through a Tucker Carlson or Kathy Griffen podcast if they had a guest I liked. screw that. I don't wanna hear those nimrods.
YOU’RE RIGHT we have lost so many comics and musicians just lately and seems numbing to realize what a thin fail between here and the other side. On myself have lost in numerous family and friends in the last four years. It’s just scary so I enjoy every single day to the max.
Your story about being 12 reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer finds the Mrev Griffin show set in the garbage and starts doing talk shows in his living room.
The most amazing ting about the Richard Dreyfuss episode is that Bill doesn't comment on Dreyfuss' position at all. THAT's what made it strange. Bill who picks up on everything
That was the best part. Remember when Colbert did a dance routine with people dressed as needles? Brilliant comedy. Truth to power! LOL. These late night guys are so safe it's hard to imagine considering them comedians of any sort.
Bill: "Hey, Bob. Welcome" Guest: "Hi, I came from working on my new film called -" Bill: "You know what, I don't need to be in a relationship. I'm happy single." Guest: "...ok" Bill: "Yes, it's possible to be happy single. People don't believe me. Why can't people believe that? I'm happy! I'm not lying."
Yes, don't leave when things get tough. That's life, it's not rainbows everyday. When Bill said he'd send his girl/wife away with colostomy until she got better, I thought of Jim and his wife with brain tumor.... 2 different guys
Jim, your family kept me entertained during Covid. You're a lucky man! Beautiful life and beautiful family and to do it all with a sense of humor. You're a wonderful man!
I looked forward to and enjoyed every night of 'Dinner with the Gaffigans'. It was a scary, uncertain time and they brought fun, positivity andvlaughter
I missed the family gaffigan shows until recently. hilarious and such a great insight into to their life. Wished I'd been doing these searches on you tube sooner.
Dear Bill, I wish this talk with Jim Gaffigan had continued. It was awesome. Two hours for bozos and one hour with the best. Big fan of yours, please bring Jim back for another round. Thank you, Todd
Bill's take on writers is similar to his take on the Marianne Williamson episode (when he questioned if people are struggling because he doesn't see it).
Maher isn't heavy on drinking but i bet he's smoking some fairly strong weed, probably every day since he was 20? he maintains his health & stays working, no room for thinking about stuff that bums him out, u know, _other peoples_ actual realities...
Came here to see how close Tim Heideker and Fred Armisen’s impression was. I’m crying. Bill, I hope you’ve seen it. Please invite tim heidecker on. Don’t be coward. You know he’d do it.
Its funny, when I've seen his HBO show its funny and directed but this is so meandering that he just talks about himself mostly which is unfortunate. These two guys are a good example of what Hollywood can do to a person. One of them is insufferable and one of them you hang on every word. I'd suppose guests like Jim are aware of his personality prior to agreeing to coming on the show. They're aware of what they're in for but the free advertising is more appealing than the host is unappealing.
@@brewer921 - It did.. it accelerated it drastically. The Real World was around well before those shows that you mentioned, but they made way more when that strike hit. They already knew they had a cheap, lucrative production option where they didn't have to pay people or follow union rules, but those productions exploded when they had a need to fill timeslots with non-union written network shows.
@@masterofallgoons They exploded because of the big success of the network reality shows. It is hard to say how much each thing was the cause for explosion.
@@brewer921 - it's not really that hard at all. You can look at exactly when and how these shows become big and more im-demand. Cops was a direct result of the writers strike in 1988. The writers strike in 2007/2008 very clearly lead to the greenlighting of many, many new reality shows and accelerated the production schedule of other pre-existing shows. This is all well known and well documented. Nobody really denies this basic fact.
Jim has the most wonderful well behaive kids, and smart wife, during covid it was a pleasure to watch their videos. So funny and I was surprised to see not spoiled kids from someone famous. Thanks Jim and keep the good work!!! You deserve all the good things that life gives you.
You guys should get Michael Taylor on the podcast with Bill. He is the Green Beret that rescued Carlos Ghosn from Japan then Trump extradited him to Japan.
Hysterical PLEASE interview Jim again! You two are so good together and bring out the BEST of each other. ❤ I laughed hysterically and to hear Bill say he wants to babysit just is priceless!
Start by talking about PT Anderson and Wes Anderson and don't even mention their best films: for PT Anderson it's There Will Be Blood and Punch Drunk Love (though Magnolia and Boogie Nights are great too), and with Wes Anderson it's Grand Budapest Hotel and The Royal Tenenbaums (HM to Moonrise Kingdom).
@@williambartholmey5946 The Master had excellent performances but I think the writing/directing was pretty meh by PTA standards. I particularly don't get why he chose THAT film to be shot on 65mm; of all his mature films it's probably the most visually bland. I'm actually pretty hit-and-miss with Wes Anderson, but I thought GBH was brilliant and easily the best thing he's done.
On August 26, 2010, in Scottsdale, Arizona, Schimmel was a passenger in a car driven by his 19-year-old daughter Aliyah. After veering off the road to avoid hitting another vehicle, the car flipped onto its side and came to a stop in the shoulder of the Loop 101 freeway.[23][24] Schimmel was hospitalized at John C. Lincoln Hospital (North Phoenix) in serious condition, while Aliyah was hospitalized in stable condition. Schimmel's son Jacob, who was also in the vehicle at the time of accident, was uninjured. On September 3, 2010, Schimmel died of his injuries.[25] (Wikipedia)
Watching this for Gaffigan. Comedians NOT getting married to each other? Hello...?? Gilda Radner and Gene Wilder, Lucy and Desi, Stiller and Meara.....
Jim asked him who got the most drunk on this show, and Bill didn't realize it's him every week. I've never even seen anyone else join him except Woody Harrelson.
AHA...so there are ice tongs in Club Random! It's just Bill who likes to stick his filthy paws in the ice...Gaffigan didn't seem too thrilled when Bill served him that ice in the glass...😂
It’s not an interview. These are all two people drinking and smoking, having a conversation and fun. It’s a genius format and concept. Can’t you just enjoy it?
Yeah, apparently people are looking for Larry King, if you want that, youll need to look elsewhere. This podcast is clearly not trying to be that. Like it or not.
I like Jim Gaffigan and when I saw that this Club Random was only an hour long I figured that Bill cut it short for some reason. By the end I saw that there was great respect between them.

Ughhhh. I can’t take Bill anymore! The whole show reeks of toxic negativity. Even with a guest like Jim I walk away wanting to take a shower. What a miserable angry hateful human being. I feel for his poor writers
I can't watch this without thinking of Tim Heidecker's spoof on this slap-and-dash "avant garde" production, where Bill just berates his guests and talks about the same five things he's been upset with since 2015.
I’m a devotee but Bill please let Jim speak, he’s really funny, Bill’s on a tirade for 42 minutes Jim has a slight opening after 15 seconds Bill interjects 😂
Gaffigan is one of my favorite present-day comedians, Dave Chappelle and Bill Burr are also on that list which just proves how diverse my sense of humor can be, from clean observational comedy to comedy with a social commentary if you listen close enough to pure outrage comedy. And if you never heard Groucho Marx roast Johnny Carson, that is a master class in comedic timing and delivery in less than 4 minutes.
I generally post on every episode that he just needs to come out as Bi.....almost every episode he's talking about men's junk, the more high he is, the more erotically gay he gets.
OK I have never POSTED - but when it comes to the strike YAY to Jim Gaffigan he gets it = he has the compassion that Bill lacks - he still understands the working class Bravo - Jim
Yeah was disappointed in Bill's take. I also don't like him saying other people down the line are being affected by the strike. I'm an animator and I know. I'm looking to the writers and actors to set precedent around streaming and AI protections. What happens there will affect how studios treat the rest of us especially since most of us don't have union representation. I feel like Bill doesn't get it because at his level, it's very informal, involves million dollar transactions and you aren't guaranteed a job. One minute you are on top, the next you might not be. And despite them being the face of Hollywood, well known celebrities make up less than 1 percent of the actual jobs in Hollywood. For the rest of us, it's very formal, we work in desk jobs, with regular American wages. We can't go into debt for college, and learn new skills all the time if we don't have job security. We'll just move to another industry where we do, eroding talent that Hollywood depends on. But it's great that Jim hasn't lost touch with the common man.
@@jmhorange- well said. There's a lot at stake, and while I'm sure there are things from both the WGA and SAG that will need to be compromised on, the issues they're arguing about are important and his vague dismissiveness is silly. By the way, aren't the animators in a separate category? As I understand it writing for animation (and voice acting?) Is not covered by the regular guilds... which seems wild to me. That seems like something that should be re-egotiated too.
@@masterofallgoons Animators have a union, who's contract is up next year. The problem is, for various reasons, our union has historically been based in California. And for most of animation history, that worked. There was a fair amount of animation done in New York, but Hollywood was the epicenter of animation. Today, animation, just for US animation alone, is a national and global industry. As a result, the animation Guild is very weak and only covers some studios in Cali. But that's changing over the last few years. They've managed to sign studios in New York and other places in the US. In the last year, they've signed a studio for our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico. And they've unionized a few Canadian studios, because alot of animation is done in Canada. Canada subsidizes their entertainment industry. Otherwise it would be overridden by the US, and their people would just watch American tv and film. It works for live action and enables culturally Canadian content for their people. For animation, American studios exploited the tax incentives to get them to make American shows cheaper. But now Canadian studios no longer want to be exploited and are unionizing. VFX studios are also unionizing for the first time in history. Disney Marvel VFX just unionized a few weeks ago. So there's a lot of unionization happening recently. It's long overdue, but more stories like the Vulture article about the 6 day a week, 60+ hours on really low wages on the Spiderverse movies are finally making artists realize the importance of unions and not just accepting working conditions because you love what you do or you get to work on a "cool" project. You provide a service just like any job and the studio pays you in return, it's business and it shouldn't be conducted otherwise. As far as writers for animation, I can count on one hand how many studios where the writers in the same building. Voice actors, I've never seen them work in any studios I've worked in. You might rarely see them stop by to see how animation is done. I remember Vince Vaughn came by the studio. We were animating a shot with a character he voiced sitting down, and he asked if he could be made to stand up. And I was like, "Not in 5 minutes you expect it to be in. Animation takes time..." Anyways, they are a whole different section than us artists. As far as I know, animation writers are not covered by the WGA, although WGA has been trying to make that so for a number of years. In general, animation writing is looked down upon by writers, a gig that you take until you can find work in live action, so there doesn't seem a big rush to cover animation writers. I don't know if voice acting in tv and film is covered by SAG. Voice acting in videogames is though, SAG is calling for a strike over many of the same issues that actors have.
@@dankz7061 Why would we resurrect old jobs redefined by technology? Given that there's not mass unemployment, we can see those technological changes generated more jobs than eliminated. This is the great fear, that there will not be more jobs lost than created. There's now governments in 2024 starting to look into the effects of AI on society. Less workers means less taxes, and taxes are how governments meet the needs of their people. So I mean, maybe you don't see anything gained by the strikes, but there's more coming in that industry, from the IATSE and the Animation Guild, inspired by the writers and actors to get their own AI protections. So I'm not exactly clear what you think is inevitable. That society collapse for profits for tech companies? Not one expert in the AI industry can articulate what new jobs will replace the ones AI will eliminate. Sam Altman, leader of the AI industry in an interview failed to articulate what he thinks humans do better than AI. Are you suggesting the elimination of our species is inevitable and that's the side you are on?
@@masterofallgoons We have our own guild, the animation guild. It's historically been only in Cali, but in the last couple years has unionized a bit across the US and Puerto Rico. Actors don't want us in their union. It is what it is but I don't think actors consider what we do filmmaking. If you look at the best animated film category at the Oscars, that only exists because actors were outraged that Beauty and the Beast was nominated, not won, nominated for best picture in 1991 and a new category was created the next year to keep us from competing against them. Today there are actors pushing for films to be labelled if they have AI, VFX, CGI. VFX and CGI are done by artists, no need to label them, just AI.
I never drank from a horse's footprint but I have come darn close. And yes, was damn glad to get it. I'm old so not surprised you feel that way. Back in the day you felt lucky to get served at all. That was then. So yeah, out of respect I woulda found another way.

Tim Heidecker is a communist who loves Cuba and calls Israel a terrorist state. Of course he hates Bill Maher who is anti-communist and against antisemitism.
and his total reference to womens' looks instead of realizing some men and women connect in a way he can't or is unwilling to. He acts like his life is truth for all.
companionship and sympatico and love, Billl ---- celebrity or no celebrity -- not everyone is like you. people actually love to be together with a person they love. yeah, a lot of marraiges are old and sorry, but so are a lot of single lives.
This comment section is wild. I'm amazed at how many people dislike Bill yet listen to his podcast.

Why does Bill even bother with guests? Every episode winds up being him, talking about himself for most of it.

Bill is so rude to Jim. Bill is so immature.
Loved “Later” with Bob Costas - watched it religiously- Bob Is the GOAT!!!
This episode is a TESTAMENT to Tim Heidecker's parody of Bill Mahair.
Poor Gaffigan, he had no idea about Bill’s narcissism 😅 he’s a victim here, we love you Jim
Love Jim Gaffigan! Absolutely one of the most talented, well rounded, interesting, cultured entertainers around. Love his family too. More Jim please.
Love Jim ❤
Writers aren't entitled to a living? Hey Marie Antoinette, what's ugly, old, and rolls?
I love this show 😅😅😅
Bill talking about masturbating is not interesting or funny and certainly not appealing at all. He's beating the subject to death.
Pun aside, he talks about it way too much. It's like an obsession he can't keep to himself.
🤮
Great pun 😂
God Bill never stops talking. I fast forwarded it randomly and it was just Bill yapping again about marriage.
I feel like Jim Gaffigan walked off set and immediately said to himself "well this was a mistake and a giant waste of time" lmao
I got uncomfortable just watching, I can't imagine how he may have felt with Bill two feet away. 🤔
Your story about being 12 reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer finds the Mrev Griffin show set in the garbage and starts doing talk shows in his living room.
The most amazing ting about the Richard Dreyfuss episode is that Bill doesn't comment on Dreyfuss' position at all. THAT's what made it strange. Bill who picks up on everything
Bill's story about being 12 in a tent, explains alot.
"Those guys don't have takes..." Yikes. Good on Gaffigan for standing up to Bill's nonsense.
I’m on TEAM JIM!!!
They don't
Yeah, Maher's self agrandizing is obnoxious as usual. And having a terrible take is not something to take pride in... like his writers' strike take.
That was the best part. Remember when Colbert did a dance routine with people dressed as needles? Brilliant comedy. Truth to power! LOL. These late night guys are so safe it's hard to imagine considering them comedians of any sort.
Bill is becoming more of a jerk with every hair of his that turns grey.
Robert Schimmel died in a car accident. I believe his daughter was actually driving.
@16:48 did Bill seriously just chew on ice while Jim was talking?! WTF???
Strike? I didn't even notice. There is so much content out there that they really don't matter!
"They don’t have a take! I have a take!" OK, Bill. Stop blowing yourself.
Bill: "Hey, Bob. Welcome"
Guest: "Hi, I came from working on my new film called -"
Bill: "You know what, I don't need to be in a relationship. I'm happy single."
Guest: "...ok"
Bill: "Yes, it's possible to be happy single. People don't believe me. Why can't people believe that? I'm happy! I'm not lying."
Bill just wiped his ass and then put ice in Jim G’s drink - I mean wtf!? He does that every time
Only watched this so I can better understand what Tim Heidecker was parodying. Spot on.
There’s another option Bill, figure out how to make your relationship better and work on it to keep it Good!!!!
Yes, don't leave when things get tough. That's life, it's not rainbows everyday. When Bill said he'd send his girl/wife away with colostomy until she got better, I thought of Jim and his wife with brain tumor.... 2 different guys
I never realized that Jim G. sounds so much like John Malkovich. And now i am in love with him.
Jim, your family kept me entertained during Covid. You're a lucky man! Beautiful life and beautiful family and to do it all with a sense of humor. You're a wonderful man!
I looked forward to and enjoyed every night of 'Dinner with the Gaffigans'. It was a scary, uncertain time and they brought fun, positivity andvlaughter
I missed the family gaffigan shows until recently. hilarious and such a great insight into to their life. Wished I'd been doing these searches on you tube sooner.
Maher is a know it all and he sure shows it
Dear Bill,
I wish this talk with Jim Gaffigan had continued. It was awesome. Two hours for bozos and one hour with the best. Big fan of yours, please bring Jim back for another round.
Thank you,
Todd
The operative reality: ‘You’re Not’ Owed a Living as a Writer
Bill's take on writers is similar to his take on the Marianne Williamson episode (when he questioned if people are struggling because he doesn't see it).
Bill still thinks Obamacare gave us healthcare
Such a smug view for someone who doesn’t write any of his material
Maher isn't heavy on drinking but i bet he's smoking some fairly strong weed, probably every day since he was 20?
he maintains his health & stays working, no room for thinking about stuff that bums him out, u know, _other peoples_ actual realities...
She’s a nut
Whenever something inconveniences him in any way he acts like a whiny little bit ch
Came here to see how close Tim Heideker and Fred Armisen’s impression was. I’m crying. Bill, I hope you’ve seen it. Please invite tim heidecker on. Don’t be coward. You know he’d do it.
Where is that?
@@lindaflesch7303 doesn’t matter, Bill is over
The six words that Jim Gaffigan got out were absolutely hilarious.
😊
Jesus, yes! Shut up Bill and let the guest talk a little.
Thanks, Jim, for elevating the exchange. . .
can't believe 345k people watched this monologue
i SAW YOU ON BOB COSTAS! GREAT SHOW. WOW I FEEL OLD LOVE YA BILL
I love Office Hours Live with Tim Heidecker, this is a great episode!
I love Tim because he doesn't give a fuck. Plus great camera angles.
Tim really nailed it perfectly, didn't he?
I’m now watching Club Random and Office Hours just to enjoy all the nuances.
The only thing Tim couldn’t get was that ugly cackling laugh he has lol
I think Tim went a little over the top on this one. No one is really that arrogant and self indulgent are they?
Thanks Jim and Bill!
It's so weird that the guests BEGIN on set and Bill walks in for them to greet him ... 😅
Yeah, very weird.
Narcissistic egomaniac
marriage is not a word, it's a sentence.
Finally a valid guest
really?
I worship Bill Maher. At least that's what he tells me I should do.
I really enjoyed the three minutes where Jim Gaffigan talked. Once he almost got an entire sentence out.
He started asking Bill questions after a while, became the interviewer
Bill is starting to lose his liberal Looney mind.
@@shawnsdr3406 That's what alcoholism does to an open mind.
Maher is such a pompous dick. He says he doesn't want to be married. It's more that no woman would be able to stand him.
Its funny, when I've seen his HBO show its funny and directed but this is so meandering that he just talks about himself mostly which is unfortunate. These two guys are a good example of what Hollywood can do to a person. One of them is insufferable and one of them you hang on every word. I'd suppose guests like Jim are aware of his personality prior to agreeing to coming on the show. They're aware of what they're in for but the free advertising is more appealing than the host is unappealing.
Wow. An ad for something I actually use. I agree, Factor is pretty good food.
Love the Pod. Yet I'm waiting for the episode where Bill debates himself and is quite sure he is correct and all his points are valid! 😅
I am literally playing a video game as I listen to this. Ü
Reality TV easily predated the last strike.
Yeah, but it greatly accelerated the prevalence of reality shows. It's kinda the only thing he got right about the whole writers' strike thing.
@@masterofallgoons I don't think it did. Survivor and Who Wants to be a Millionaire and that Trump show had already changed the game.
@@brewer921 - It did.. it accelerated it drastically. The Real World was around well before those shows that you mentioned, but they made way more when that strike hit. They already knew they had a cheap, lucrative production option where they didn't have to pay people or follow union rules, but those productions exploded when they had a need to fill timeslots with non-union written network shows.
@@masterofallgoons They exploded because of the big success of the network reality shows. It is hard to say how much each thing was the cause for explosion.
@@brewer921 - it's not really that hard at all. You can look at exactly when and how these shows become big and more im-demand. Cops was a direct result of the writers strike in 1988. The writers strike in 2007/2008 very clearly lead to the greenlighting of many, many new reality shows and accelerated the production schedule of other pre-existing shows. This is all well known and well documented. Nobody really denies this basic fact.
Asked my new boss how many times he'd been married.
"4. No, 5. Well, it depends how you count. Wife #2 was also wife #4."
Tim Heidecker keeps getting funnier with these parodies!
He’s going to takeover the comedy club
ever since I saw that masterpiece I can't watch these podcasts the same way.
Who is Tim Hediker?
Bill Maher the Master Pontificator
Jim has the most wonderful well behaive kids, and smart wife, during covid it was a pleasure to watch their videos. So funny and I was surprised to see not spoiled kids from someone famous. Thanks Jim and keep the good work!!! You deserve all the good things that life gives you.
The smartest person in the room and the funniest person in the room are usually the same person. 🧐
Bill is really becoming out of touch on things. His comments on the strikes seem uniformed....
Format: ask Jim a question, then talk and give my opinion on what I think about the question I haven't allowed my guest to get a word in about.
Nice to see Jim get his podcast running. I see his first guest is Bill Maher!
Isn't this Bill Maher's podcast?
@@rluv4evr yes, but someone needs to tell Maher he's not the guest 🙃
You guys should get Michael Taylor on the podcast with Bill. He is the Green Beret that rescued Carlos Ghosn from Japan then Trump extradited him to Japan.
When Jim does his whisper on stage it’s like his inner voice telling him to do things that he shouldn’t. Very funny! 😅
It’s funny to a point. When he does it a lot, it annoys the hell out of me.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the writers room at Real Time has less than 10 people lol
Hysterical PLEASE interview Jim again! You two are so good together and bring out the BEST of each other. ❤ I laughed hysterically and to hear Bill say he wants to babysit just is priceless!
"I understand why poor people get married, but celebrities, it's ridiculous" did Tim Heidecker write that line for him to tell Jim Gaffigan
Start by talking about PT Anderson and Wes Anderson and don't even mention their best films: for PT Anderson it's There Will Be Blood and Punch Drunk Love (though Magnolia and Boogie Nights are great too), and with Wes Anderson it's Grand Budapest Hotel and The Royal Tenenbaums (HM to Moonrise Kingdom).
I share your love of both directors, but Blood and Budapest aren't in my respective top 5 of each. I like The Master a lot more than TWBB.
@@williambartholmey5946 The Master had excellent performances but I think the writing/directing was pretty meh by PTA standards. I particularly don't get why he chose THAT film to be shot on 65mm; of all his mature films it's probably the most visually bland. I'm actually pretty hit-and-miss with Wes Anderson, but I thought GBH was brilliant and easily the best thing he's done.
On August 26, 2010, in Scottsdale, Arizona, Schimmel was a passenger in a car driven by his 19-year-old daughter Aliyah. After veering off the road to avoid hitting another vehicle, the car flipped onto its side and came to a stop in the shoulder of the Loop 101 freeway.[23][24] Schimmel was hospitalized at John C. Lincoln Hospital (North Phoenix) in serious condition, while Aliyah was hospitalized in stable condition. Schimmel's son Jacob, who was also in the vehicle at the time of accident, was uninjured. On September 3, 2010, Schimmel died of his injuries.[25] (Wikipedia)
Watching this for Gaffigan. Comedians NOT getting married to each other? Hello...?? Gilda Radner and Gene Wilder, Lucy and Desi, Stiller and Meara.....
desi was not a comedian
Watching Bill get drunk and high 🦇
Jim asked him who got the most drunk on this show, and Bill didn't realize it's him every week. I've never even seen anyone else join him except Woody Harrelson.
AHA...so there are ice tongs in Club Random! It's just Bill who likes to stick his filthy paws in the ice...Gaffigan didn't seem too thrilled when Bill served him that ice in the glass...😂
a bad habit I have, but I'm usually the only one using the ice in my house.
lol. You picked up on that too huh? I was pretty sure I saw a micro-hesitation marry a glance with the eyes ...
Is there not a place in this house without two giant pillars in the way?
It’s not an interview. These are all two people drinking and smoking, having a conversation and fun. It’s a genius format and concept. Can’t you just enjoy it?
Yeah, apparently people are looking for Larry King, if you want that, youll need to look elsewhere. This podcast is clearly not trying to be that. Like it or not.
Bill if you’re tired sweety, just go to bed.
I like Jim Gaffigan and when I saw that this Club Random was only an hour long I figured that Bill cut it short for some reason. By the end I saw that there was great respect between them.
I agree, anytime I see a show that is exactly 1 hour it tells me right away that Bill was bored with that guest.. 😂😂
What show were you watching? EPISODE TIMESTAMPS…
[Had some time in an Uber & it occurred to me that I genuinely hate Bill Maher. That said…]
0:19 Jim jokes about feeling like he’s on the set of a Paul Thomas Anderson movie. Bill asks, between PTA & Wes Anderson, which one’s the fag?
2:08 Louie Anderson is dead. Other people have died. Bill contemplates his own mortality.
3:00 Bill argues with a pretend adversary about whether you have to be smart like him to be a comedian. He points out - to Jim Gaffigan, mind you - that you can just be a fat fuck & make it big as a comic.
5:41 Jim: It’s gotta be hard to be married to a comedian.
Bill: Marriage makes sense - for poor people, lol.
Jim: 😐
6:25 Jim asks Bill if he ever imagined being this successful.
Bill reminisces about jerking off to Anne Margaret at age 12.
8:22 Bill on getting pussy: Music goes right to the pussy. Comedy goes through the female brain & then it’s on to the pussy.
11:55 Bill laments that divorce is socially unacceptable. (It isn’t.)
14:56 Bill: A lot of married people are afraid to be alone. By contrast, Bill never went to Baghdad. (?) The Pottery Barn rule applies to Iraq *and* pussy: you break it, you bought it.
18:05 Harry & Megan…
Jim: I had this joke about his-
Bill: -dick? 😂
Jim: 😐 -no, his grandfather’s brother.
19:28 Bill: Charles told Camilla he wanted to be a tampon, right?
Jim: 😐 [deftly changes the subject]
23:10 Bill insists that his show, Real Time, is pure genius. By contrast, his peers on late-night are all hacks.
Jim: Well, people want to hear Colbert’s take about the day-
Bill: -it’s not a take. Those guys don’t have takes. I have takes on things. What they do is say exactly what a liberal audience wants them to say.”
24:50 Bill: The WGA writers’ strike is a perfect illustration of late-night hackery. Colbert et al don’t have the guts to stand up to their writers on behalf of Amazon and Apple.
Jim: 😒
Bill: Applezon 😂
28:30 Jim defends the strikers, laments growing wealth inequality.
29:50 Bill quotes someone who said it’s like dinosaurs suing the Ice Age.
Jim: 😑 hmm ugh
32:09 Bill wonders if CA Governor Gavin Newsome running for national office would force him to abandon the “kookoo woke left California bullshit.”
Bill insists, contra Jim, that gay rights is no longer a necessary, “great thing.”
33:31 Jim: Why not just err on the side of compassion?
Bill: I’m on the side of reality- [abrupt commercial break] Factor is America’s #1 meal kit. It’s so good, my chef threatened to quit.” [?]
My gardener wants $70 an hour. My yard is like a ‘70s bush. 😉 ZipRecruiter is the smarter way to hire.”
38:12 Jim starts to reflect on his success & having a second house out in Westchester: “I’ve got some land & i love it.”
Bill: Let’s go back to when I was 7 watching the Smothers Brothers & dreaming about show biz & blow jobs.
40:32 Jim & Seinfeld are touring together.
Jim calls Jerry the Socrates of comedy.
Bill: Seinfeld always did material “everyone could get, but didn’t insult the smartest people in the room. WE loved it, too.”
Jim: yeah ok… wow
48:45 With no hint of irony, Bill says he hates people who say things just to be controversial or contentious.
48:57 Jim [to the world’s shittiest hang]: “Just be a good hang.”
49:12 Jim mentions his dedication to & love of acting.
Bill takes it back to the writers’ strike.
53:29 Bill insults Jim again, implying that his defense of gay rights & striking writers is just him parroting what the hippies in the East Village want him to say.
Jim: “Well, I’m open to new ideas.”
54:10 Bill says that Richard Dreyfus was hammered when he was on Club Rando and Bill asked him what he thinks about when jerking off and Richard confessed to having incest fantasies as a kid.
56:23 Bill invites himself over to Jim’s home in New York.
Jim reminds Bill that “you’re flying my whole family to Hawaii” for New Year’s Eve.
Bill immediately says No, the trip’s off, too crowded.
58:21 As per usual, Bill rudely shuffles his guest off the set because he chose to double book the podcast sessions to save a few bucks.
Jim wants to finish his drink.
[end]
Dammit Bill, keep your dirty bare hands off of Jim’s ice. 😅
How gross.
Ughhhh. I can’t take Bill anymore! The whole show reeks of toxic negativity. Even with a guest like Jim I walk away wanting to take a shower. What a miserable angry hateful human being. I feel for his poor writers
Bill, please, please, please quit interrupting your guests.
I can't watch this without thinking of Tim Heidecker's spoof on this slap-and-dash "avant garde" production, where Bill just berates his guests and talks about the same five things he's been upset with since 2015.
Imagine spending your time watching something you don’t enjoy
Wow. I've been watching this forever now and in 30 seconds Jim just taught Bill how a HUMAN is supposed to get ice from an ice bucket.
I’m a devotee but Bill please let Jim speak, he’s really funny, Bill’s on a tirade for 42 minutes Jim has a slight opening after 15 seconds Bill interjects 😂
Insufferable
Bill get Peter Joseph on he’s amazing 🤩 I could listen to him for hours
The Richard Dreyfus’s sitting arrangements was so funny 🤣
You could probably get high on Bill's ashtray trimmings alone...
Gaffigan is one of my favorite present-day comedians, Dave Chappelle and Bill Burr are also on that list which just proves how diverse my sense of humor can be, from clean observational comedy to comedy with a social commentary if you listen close enough to pure outrage comedy.
And if you never heard Groucho Marx roast Johnny Carson, that is a master class in comedic timing and delivery in less than 4 minutes.
I love hearing Bill complain that his gardener is demanding $70 an hour whilst reeling off his ZipRecruiter ad. Truly a man of the people.
Bill's favorite subject is "spanking the monkey" - it didn't take long for Bill to get right to it! Lol
CORRECTION: Bill's favorite subject is Bill.
I generally post on every episode that he just needs to come out as Bi.....almost every episode he's talking about men's junk, the more high he is, the more erotically gay he gets.
@@TruthrConsequences followed closely by Trump
Richard 😂 was amazing on your show! I had hopes that the chair had a handle to just click back and relax 😂!!!!
OK I have never POSTED - but when it comes to the strike YAY to Jim Gaffigan he gets it = he has the compassion that Bill lacks - he still understands the working class Bravo - Jim
Yeah was disappointed in Bill's take. I also don't like him saying other people down the line are being affected by the strike. I'm an animator and I know. I'm looking to the writers and actors to set precedent around streaming and AI protections. What happens there will affect how studios treat the rest of us especially since most of us don't have union representation.
I feel like Bill doesn't get it because at his level, it's very informal, involves million dollar transactions and you aren't guaranteed a job. One minute you are on top, the next you might not be. And despite them being the face of Hollywood, well known celebrities make up less than 1 percent of the actual jobs in Hollywood. For the rest of us, it's very formal, we work in desk jobs, with regular American wages. We can't go into debt for college, and learn new skills all the time if we don't have job security. We'll just move to another industry where we do, eroding talent that Hollywood depends on. But it's great that Jim hasn't lost touch with the common man.
@@jmhorange- well said. There's a lot at stake, and while I'm sure there are things from both the WGA and SAG that will need to be compromised on, the issues they're arguing about are important and his vague dismissiveness is silly.
By the way, aren't the animators in a separate category? As I understand it writing for animation (and voice acting?) Is not covered by the regular guilds... which seems wild to me. That seems like something that should be re-egotiated too.
@@masterofallgoons Animators have a union, who's contract is up next year. The problem is, for various reasons, our union has historically been based in California. And for most of animation history, that worked. There was a fair amount of animation done in New York, but Hollywood was the epicenter of animation. Today, animation, just for US animation alone, is a national and global industry. As a result, the animation Guild is very weak and only covers some studios in Cali. But that's changing over the last few years. They've managed to sign studios in New York and other places in the US. In the last year, they've signed a studio for our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico. And they've unionized a few Canadian studios, because alot of animation is done in Canada. Canada subsidizes their entertainment industry. Otherwise it would be overridden by the US, and their people would just watch American tv and film. It works for live action and enables culturally Canadian content for their people. For animation, American studios exploited the tax incentives to get them to make American shows cheaper. But now Canadian studios no longer want to be exploited and are unionizing. VFX studios are also unionizing for the first time in history. Disney Marvel VFX just unionized a few weeks ago. So there's a lot of unionization happening recently. It's long overdue, but more stories like the Vulture article about the 6 day a week, 60+ hours on really low wages on the Spiderverse movies are finally making artists realize the importance of unions and not just accepting working conditions because you love what you do or you get to work on a "cool" project. You provide a service just like any job and the studio pays you in return, it's business and it shouldn't be conducted otherwise.
As far as writers for animation, I can count on one hand how many studios where the writers in the same building. Voice actors, I've never seen them work in any studios I've worked in. You might rarely see them stop by to see how animation is done. I remember Vince Vaughn came by the studio. We were animating a shot with a character he voiced sitting down, and he asked if he could be made to stand up. And I was like, "Not in 5 minutes you expect it to be in. Animation takes time..." Anyways, they are a whole different section than us artists. As far as I know, animation writers are not covered by the WGA, although WGA has been trying to make that so for a number of years. In general, animation writing is looked down upon by writers, a gig that you take until you can find work in live action, so there doesn't seem a big rush to cover animation writers. I don't know if voice acting in tv and film is covered by SAG. Voice acting in videogames is though, SAG is calling for a strike over many of the same issues that actors have.
@@dankz7061 Why would we resurrect old jobs redefined by technology? Given that there's not mass unemployment, we can see those technological changes generated more jobs than eliminated. This is the great fear, that there will not be more jobs lost than created. There's now governments in 2024 starting to look into the effects of AI on society. Less workers means less taxes, and taxes are how governments meet the needs of their people. So I mean, maybe you don't see anything gained by the strikes, but there's more coming in that industry, from the IATSE and the Animation Guild, inspired by the writers and actors to get their own AI protections.
So I'm not exactly clear what you think is inevitable. That society collapse for profits for tech companies? Not one expert in the AI industry can articulate what new jobs will replace the ones AI will eliminate. Sam Altman, leader of the AI industry in an interview failed to articulate what he thinks humans do better than AI. Are you suggesting the elimination of our species is inevitable and that's the side you are on?
@@masterofallgoons We have our own guild, the animation guild. It's historically been only in Cali, but in the last couple years has unionized a bit across the US and Puerto Rico. Actors don't want us in their union. It is what it is but I don't think actors consider what we do filmmaking. If you look at the best animated film category at the Oscars, that only exists because actors were outraged that Beauty and the Beast was nominated, not won, nominated for best picture in 1991 and a new category was created the next year to keep us from competing against them. Today there are actors pushing for films to be labelled if they have AI, VFX, CGI. VFX and CGI are done by artists, no need to label them, just AI.
Larry David comic genius, Seinfeld a character actor playing 1 character.
Don't touch the ice and put it in your guests glass!
I never drank from a horse's footprint but I have come darn close. And yes, was damn glad to get it. I'm old so not surprised you feel that way. Back in the day you felt lucky to get served at all. That was then. So yeah, out of respect I woulda found another way.
Please invite Dave Attell to Club Random.
Bill talks too much, oh its his show 😅
I’ve figured out this show- Bill sits there and spouts off and the guest is either too polite or too uncomfortable to bother disagreeing with him.
18:07 This is the OBVIOUS reason Bill Maher is no longer worthy of pity, indulgence... or even scorn. Irrelevance does not mean an animal with a trunk.
I love them both tonight…and they are sooo different. They were so good to one another. Men…being…men.

You guys should really do that switch lives for few days
Hope to see Seinfeld on here soon!
I have half way through this before I realized Jim was wearing pants!
Thanks Bill for proving Tim Heidecker’s mockery of this pompous pod as a host.
I watched Tim’s interview with Fred Armisen before coming here. HOLY SHIT.
Tim Heidecker is a communist who loves Cuba and calls Israel a terrorist state. Of course he hates Bill Maher who is anti-communist and against antisemitism.
lol same
and his total reference to womens' looks instead of realizing some men and women connect in a way he can't or is unwilling to. He acts like his life is truth for all.
companionship and sympatico and love, Billl ---- celebrity or no celebrity -- not everyone is like you. people actually love to be together with a person they love. yeah, a lot of marraiges are old and sorry, but so are a lot of single lives.
Hilarious after seeing Heidecker
Bill Maher is out here wearing wal mart graphic t shirts with darth vader cartoons on them and it's so wild.
