Shoutout to Rainn Wilson for being the only person ever on this podcast to call Bill out on his constant interrupting and belittling of his guests. And I say that as a big fan of Bill's. People need to be giving him this kind of feedback for the podcast to get better.

[@patrickcarroll1754]

So well said, YouMyFwend

[@chaddesrosiers1107]

Well it "isn't that kind of podcast"... by which he means a good one. lol Bill has to clue in that people in general don't watch every single episode of any podcast. They watch for the guests first... that they are talking to Bill is secondary really. I mean I like Bill. 10% of the time though I wonder how people aren't walking out on him. We get it Bill your single... you totally don't regret never having children... you know more about 18 year olds these days then the people raising them. Oh and any form of "spiritual" thinking annoys you. Its too bad cause Bill is witty, hilarious, and fun... he just often takes the disrespect just a little too far, you would have thought he got enough feedback as younger man to know better. Guess not.

He’s so arrogant

[@danielgilligan1118]

I like Bill, but sometimes he conflates his truth-sayer shtick with his ego and just comes off as an arrogant SOB. Funny thing is, I do think he knows when to show restraint. He can be tolerant to people with religious affiliations, but he REALLY doesn't seem to respect people who pursue therapy. He made it pretty clear that he thinks only people with significant trauma need it. Radical empathy is understanding that people have different constitutions, anxiety thresholds and need different tools to cope. Also, people don't pursue it because of their egos, but often so that they can be better and balanced versions of themselves for other people in their life. Many of us have lived with miserable parents and wished mental health wasn't as stigmatized back then, but the "therapy is for snowflakes" narrative isn't helping lol

This makes so much sense 😮

[@danolivier4899]

exactly!

[@bladestratford]

I enjoy Bill on his TV show but every time I stumble into one of these podcasts it quickly becomes obvious why he's destined to die alone. Bill is straight up annoying off his TV show. Kudos to Rainn for handling him well with this one.

[@jcstuart6978]

huh?

[@debbiebasche5337]

LoL ...my thoughts exactly ! A sad lonely old man that talks about the "Glory Days" long after everyone has quit listening.. Poor Poor Bill :-)

[@brightpiinkhat]

"Everyone under 45 is googling James Woods right now", said at the exact time, I, someone under 45, was googling James Woods 🤦🏻‍♀.

[@wet-read]

Did you not already know who he was?

[@andrewcrockett3044]

Bill's vibe here really comes off as flippant and Rainn comes off as genuine. Yet both seem to get along ok.

[@mikewhite4560]

BILL = LOGAN ROY. 😊

[@jjgreen5206]

Except Bill is being honest and genuine. Rainn is trying to image guard

[@mr.fibonacci6292]

Finally someone willing to tell Bill to shut the f up and listen to his guest. BRAVO Rainn !

[@drownthepoor]

Rainn's views on Succession are entirely accurate. Succession and Ozark both show a change in our culture where happy endings and flawed people who end up better are no longer things we can believe. They are like believing in Santa Claus at this point. Ozark also looked down on Christianity or conservatism, and all of the intelligent people were inherently progressives. But in both shows your "heroes" aren't heroes, and couldn't have happy endings.

[@brianmeen2158]

No such thing as good and bad people - we are all flavors of both .

[@BishopWalters12]

There was a time when Hollywood went for too many Happy endings especially on TV, but I feel like The Sopranos started an annoying trend when everyone has to become a bigger piece of s@@@ and everything needs to be dark or gritty. That works for some shows but I would like to see more of a balance and less anti-heroes.

[@drownthepoor]

@@brianmeen2158 We are all flawed people with our negative aspects, but there definitely are good and bad people. We typically even have specific labels for their behavior such as sociopaths or even psychopaths, but it's not limited to those. People with certain addictions can also be bad people. Not every heroin addict robs their family blind, but most do. Not every murderer is motivated by personal gain. One of my best friends is a murderer, but he's a good guy. Today he's a nurse.

[@nerfherder3553]

LOVE YOU RAINN !!!!!

[@annohalloran6020]

Love Rainn Detest Maher.

[@bulldogvillan]

My favorite parts were Rainn taking the piss out of Bill. I would say Bill shouldn't be so defensive, but then it wouldn't have been as funny if he wasn't.

[@chadjordan9382]

The office was one of the best shows ever made. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@MartyTheZebraa]

Worked with Rainn on the movie “Super” with james Gunn and he was the most humble celebrity to ever work with.

[@jamesdelcol3701]

Like James Woods being nice to kids and then shooting them when the robbery goes bad. 🤣 James Woods is my absolute favorite actor.

[@bigmonmagoomba9634]

Salvador.

[@brianmeen2158]

Woods is a stud and loves to hand Hollywood its ass. He’d be a great guest on Bills show

[@ErikPortland]

He's become a partisan hack though. He's not discerning.

[@wet-read]

​@@bigmonmagoomba9634 Sounds more like Another Day in Paradise to me. I want to see that again.

[@gojirajenkins8528]

I went under hypnosis one time and then I woke up with Bill Maher staring at me saying "You're the liberal now not Me ! No wait I am the liberal ! You changed !" Then I pi$$ed my pants and was charged $800

[@writeronfire]

My man shows up late, comes on a week after Cube, mispronounces "Maher" to his face totally sober and fucking owns the show. Mad respect

[@jjgreen5206]

He got owned and seemed weak and defensive I thought

[@Hurrishane03]

Fair warning ⚠️ Bill and Rainn talk about Succession and they spoil the ending too. Thanks a lot Bill👍

[@EddyKaSham]

its like the third time hes done this, ive had to fast forward heavy

[@marycalolefsin9717]

He did that a few years ago spoiling movie endings when he was complaining about the oscars.

[@SomethingLocal]

This is the difference between watching someone who is full of humility and grace and a self absorbed aging narcissist.

[@jjgreen5206]

Except Rainn has dark triad traits. You have them also so you can’t see it. You literally have this backwards

[@SomethingLocal]

@@jjgreen5206 And you are basing that conclusion on what exactly? Bill himself wouldn’t say he is humble with a straight face.

[@mozerm]

I’m getting tired of Bill constantly pushing his guests to use drugs or alcohol. Why do people need to justify not wanting drugs??? It’s messed up and says something about Bill…

[@blackblake3658]

Thank you. He works in an industry where so many talented young people have died from drugs. If Rainn decided to stop using drugs and it works for him, why belittle him?

[@maridambrosio523]

I also ran home to catch The Office. It was such a phenominal show. 😁

[@RocStarr913]

The Office was mediocre.

[@BluntforceJ]

@@RocStarr913 False.

[@davidwisenbaker5544]

I like Bill but I’m glad someone told him to shut up.

[@ElizabethMartinez-ph2oj]

This is the episode during which I have laughed the most! I love Rainn Wilson with Bill!

[@funkydrummer14]

Great show! Now bring on Neil Degrasse Tyson for the next episode.

[@JohnathanLaFey]

feel like being on bill’s podcast is like hanging around a drunk relative and waiting for them to stop talking so you can leave 😂

[@EricaShady10171972]

Ooooook. I am into this. Bill Maher's people releasing videos earlier. Hell ya. This ain't HBO🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Charles-ke2po]

This is bills therapy ,he invites guests to get shit off his chest, get over it

[@tiffanyb4979]

I loved this episode. Rainn is amazing and so is Bill. Dwight forever!

[@skullcrest]

why is bro so mad

[@bacaca]

What are some of those comments talking about? They were great together. Thanks

[@CUSarge08]

As a teacher, I can say implicitly, kids care. Infinitely more that Grandpa Maher thinks they do.

[@tucker8795]

They think they do

[@dancingwithdavetalesfromth6136]

Is it poor lighting or is it just Smokey in there

[@dflsam]

"Therapeutic" definitely describes how I feel about The Office.

[@MosEisleySpacePort1138]

James Woods is not a bad-looking guy. I don’t understand why they’re shit talking him.
