    Maureen Dowd | Club Random
    Mar 30 2025
    On this episode, Bill sits down with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd for a wide-ranging, personal chat about her new book “Notorious"—a collection of her incisive profiles of major cultural and political figures—and why she once went viral for a botched edible experience in Denver. The two swap stories about growing up in Washington, D.C. (her father was a detective), how “woke” culture may have dampened the fun on the left, and what still draws voters to Donald Trump’s brash humor. Maureen recalls the times she’s gone toe-to-toe with politicians across the aisle, and she and Bill debate whether Democrats need a showman of their own. Throughout it all, they reflect on the challenges of bridging America’s political divide, the strange alliances they’ve formed in the process, and how a good dinner party could be the real key to bringing people back together.

    Andrew Schulz | Club Random
    Mar 23 2025
    On this episode, Bill is joined by stand-up comic and podcast provocateur Andrew Schulz. The two swap stories about Andrew’s transition into fatherhood (including fertility hurdles and the emotional roller coaster of IVF), the perils of fame in the digital age, why he once called Fox News out on its overblown “outrage” stories, negotiating free speech in comedy and the ever-shifting rules of social discourse, meeting fans where they are online. They debate America’s “abundance mentality” and how it informs politics, the decline of open discussion in modern media, the rise of cancel culture (and how both the left and right weaponize it), the fine line between comedic license and genuine offense, Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, and the peculiarities of personal relationships in the spotlight. They also trade observations on religion, Trump’s enduring appeal, social media mobs, bizarre magazine collections from New York City newsstands, and much more.

  • Don Lemon | Club Random

    Don Lemon | Club Random
    Mar 16 2025
    On this episode, Bill is joined by veteran broadcaster and cultural commentator Don Lemon. The two discuss Don’s transition away from CNN and his new foray into streaming, the shifting landscape of media bias and viewer trust, the lure of unfiltered conversation versus traditional “managed” television formats, and the political tightrope walk of modern journalism. They candidly dive into everything from Don’s experiences as a gay Black man in the public eye and meeting his husband, diversity and inclusion in hiring, the mystique of AOC, “defund the police,” and how Democrats might counter the MAGA movement without veering into extremes. They also weigh in on the comforts (and occasional perils) of personal freedom. All this, plus reflections on life in New York vs. Los Angeles, the ups and downs of public perception, and much more.

    Kid Rock | Club Random
    Mar 9 2025
    In this episode, Bill reconnects with rock-rap icon Kid Rock for his second round on Club Random—unpacking how they both manage to stay raw and honest in a world that loves to be outraged. Kid Rock talks about why he thought a Bud Light blow-up might be fun for social media. He also teases a new triple album (“Kid MF Rock”), wrestles with “woke” culture’s boundaries, and tries to sell Bill on the idea of finally meeting Donald Trump—complete with a tongue-in-cheek pitch for Elon Musk to carve Trump’s face onto Mount Rushmore. Bill, meanwhile, pushes back on Kid’s defense of Trump—especially around election denial—yet they bond over hating hypocrisy in both parties, not missing shows, and embracing the backlash that comes from speaking your mind. It’s a no-filter chat with two guys who, despite their differences, can’t help but find plenty of common ground.

    Xzibit | Club Random
    Mar 2 2025
    In this episode, Bill goes deep with legendary rapper, producer, and entrepreneur Xzibit—shedding light on his childhood as a military brat, the discipline that shaped his hip hop journey, and the inspiration behind his new album, “Kingmaker.” Xzibit opens up about chasing creative ambition while staying true to himself in an ever-shifting hip hop landscape, shares thoughts on social media’s addictive pull, and hip hop rivalries. He also reveals the hilarious story behind his fight scene with Jennifer Aniston in “Derailed,” complete with Brad Pitt lurking awkwardly in the background, and Bill recounts how one of Xzibit’s iconic lyrics made its way onto “Politically Correct” —a testament to Xzibit’s impact on both music and pop culture.

    Feb 16 2025
    Bill Maher sits down with former Colombo crime family capo, podcaster, and best-selling author Michael Franzese for a fascinating exploration of organized crime, current politics, and America’s shifting cultural landscape. From comparing Mafia code to modern government maneuvering, to dissecting the psychology of leaders, the two dive headlong into the forces shaping American life. Franzese shares candid reflections on his days running lucrative schemes (and why he ultimately walked away), while Bill challenges the notion of how power truly works. They also swap favorite scenes from The Godfather and Goodfellas, delve into Franzese’s religious awakening, how lessons from the mob world can translate into navigating business, politics, and personal relationships.

  • Jay Shetty | Club Random with Bill Maher

    Jay Shetty | Club Random with Bill Maher
    Feb 9 2025
    Skepticism meets reflection when Bill invites Jay Shetty to share about a life that’s spanned the silence of a Vedic monastery and the spotlight of Hollywood. Jay explains how rising at 4 a.m. for cold showers, living under strict celibacy, and sleeping on the floor shaped his views on attachment and purpose. Bill probes everything from traditional therapy to modern dating, pushing Jay to clarify how one remains “spiritual” when fame and success come calling. They trade stories of long-term relationships, debate generational “softness,” and dig into whether the real mind-bender might be a vitamin D deficiency rather than any cosmic quest. There’s warmth in discovering their shared friendship with Arianna Huffington. The result is a candid conversation that balances humor, curiosity, and a surprising overlap of worldviews—one part cynicism, one part monk-like reflection.
