[@christinamerklin2166]

So glad I caught this! I love William shatner! I'll never forget his Twilight zone. And yes I was a Trekkie for many years I still love Star Trek but I haven't kept up with the latest evolutions past deep space 9 but did watch the movie with Chris pine that gave us the background on the young Captain Kirk. Still love his voice with everything he narrates. And yes I can admit as a young girl had a definite crush on Kirk!

[@christinamerklin2166]

Not all people want to humiliate the people that they love! Most of us who love someone want to build them up and they would never want them to be seen in the light of humiliation standpoint. So I only guess on that could be that there is some kind of psychological issue compelling them towards this because honestly let's face it if you say you love someone do you want to humiliate them? Really? I don't sign on for that. No matter what problems I have for my partner what I want to reflect everyone around me the best qualities that they have and build them up. But if these people want to relate love with humiliation I'm not going to stop them but I don't feel that that is something beneficial that they're giving to their partner, I think that's got a lot more to do with wanting to control and dominate. I wouldn't feel loved by somebody who wanted to control and dominate me in that respect I would feel degraded and I would want out so I guess that speaks to the partner as having an issue because they have no problem being aggravated and humiliated. So what they have a need to be put down? Oh really who here thinks that that's healthy? Or a good encouraging atmosphere, an atmosphere of partner encouragement? I mean it's just my take on it. As an individual I can't feel loved if I don't feel filled up if I feel stepped on and put down it's going to make me feel unloved. But from what all the studies have shown the people who do this target those people, they see weakness and they see somebody that they can trample upon. And I feel that to be cruel but that's just my opinion

[@aaronjmet]

Bill is the only person I would listen to talk politics

[@christinamerklin2166]

9 no he's up no bill shettner's absolutely right. My love used to say that to people that Nick her head a family yet she would say who are you you never had a chick or a child and who are you to tell me how I should deal with my situations with my family! Yes we should not have our children living home till they're 40 by all means that's another thing my mother used to say nature intended people to go off on their own and start their lives, and that's the reason that you don't get along with your kids so well when they get to that certain age or they need to get the f*** out of the house! And she said that's the reason you don't get along with them because they need to get the f*** out of the house! And I really think my mother was a wise woman even though she never went on to college and she only raised a family she was smart. And it is true nature has its ways and it's rights of passages. And many people this day and age try to circumvent those passages, and maybe even possibly say that those particular rights of passages might be I don't know what's the word people are using oppressive perhaps, but again to quote my mother we have all these people raising their grandchildren these days. And my mother told all of us that she'll help us out but she's not going to raise our children she already did that, she raised her family and she'll be there to back us up and give us a hand but she certainly not going to raise our families for us. Now that's not to say that there was a situation where there was a death or something of that nature that she wouldn't have taken on that role. But she wanted to know that her kids could handle their own lives! I think that's a parent's role is to teach their children how to handle their own lives and not handle it for them. I think we have far too many people having their parents handled their lives for them to make their life easier and what generation before this had that luxury? Why do we have senior citizens taking on these burdens now? It's not fair to those people who already worked so hard and put all that time and raise their own families and should be able to enjoy their retirement they're now raising children in their sixties and seventies because their own children don't have the skills or the want and desire to do it for themselves?

[@thcdad3632]

I'm laughing to tears in the first two minutes. This is perfect.

He's a murderer

[@maxinee1267]

I love the show ; Real Time because it is so relevant, and the guests contribute different angles. Plus its a hoot, new rules just one of my favorite segments. I enjoyed watching you and Mr. Shatner banter back and forth, truly genuine real conversation, it just doesn't get better than that. This Club Random is going to be a hit. in my humble opinion. who else do i follow, Nick on the rocks. a geology teacher, and Itchy boots a world traveler on a motor bike, and the folksy twosome of the adventure closet. In other words real people. I am 79, white woman who loves to draw. Can't wait to see who you invite in to the club. Thank you for keeping it real.

Will Shatner is 90 and let's face it, if you live in the West you know....that....face.....that....voice.....that....presence. This was a great little interview, I love both of you guys. One last thing, years ago Will was giving a talk and mentioned an excellent book called A Distant Mirror ( I own several copies and treasure it, highly)....it's about the black death in the 14th century. I was mesmerized on how Will was talking about constantly learning and appreciating that quest for knowledge and understanding of the human condition. Truly a remarkable man, who in his 90s is more lucid than men half his age and still has a lust for life. .

[@colinfarrell6444]

Thank you for this Bill (M) - it's a fantastic show. Bill Shatner is amazing

[@gabrielpwv]

Man, the sharpness of Mr Shatner has inspired me … he talks of physics and profound topics with such ease. It would be a delight to meet the guy. Great podcast Bill M. Loved it. Looking forward for the next.

[@deanwalker6437]

Bill Shatner is one of the last few real legends. What a man, what a life, what a hero. Contrary to false PR, he was a damn good actor and his Kirk was not overly sexual, he portrayed a reasoned logical heroic and brave captain, embodying the greater and most desirable characteristics of humanity. Guy has charisma that is unquantifiable.

[@jacquelinenorthstar7008]

💕🦋He will always be Captain Kirk and now such a lovely 91 beautiful man

[@UnchainedEruption]

Captain Kirk is an absolute icon, but you’ve got to see Shatner as an old guy playing Denny Crane on Boston Legal. The man has a genius for comedic timing (helps that it’s an expertly written show that’s both zany and fun while also being tackling serious hot button issues in an intelligent way). I love the bromance between his character and James Spader’s Alan Shore.

[@nickescribano8807]

Loved it. Nothing better than having a very smart, intellectual conversation with a friend or friends over a couple of drinks. Bill had the right idea & the right guess for the ocassion, William Shatner, it can't get better than that. Can't wait for the next show.👍👍

[@Lady-Carmakazi]

William's in our hearts & holds a space in our minds where no captain will ever go again. Thank you Mr. Shatner for sharing your work & life with us. For some of us that little trip to space with you & your TV crew helped get us through some rough days. .

[@ActorKevinOlson]

Would you please post a link to Shatner’s trip to space? I would love to see that! TY in advance!!

[@duchess2367]

Too bad he didn't go underwater like the wife he drowned

William Shatner’s mental acuity is awesome! And the way he turned it around effortlessly and started interviewing Bill was awesome. What a fun interview.

[@skillz4211]

This will be a wonderful podcast. Great 1st guest and format. So nice to have unscripted friendly conversation everybody can vibe with. I almost felt like I was in the room with you. Nice job and hope this grows to become something special.

[@justgivemethetruth]

Yeah, I agree, what the world and media is missing is just real unscripted people interacting. We seem to have forgotten how to do that ... or even why?

[@gregghuckabee1984]

Only Bill can elevate podcasts to this level! I'm sure those who do podcasts often, will watch this and change the way their doing podcasts.

[@PJNiteballer]

One solid hour of great conversation...I kept wondering "did I need to laugh?...Or... did I simply just totally enjoy this?...This takes me back to my roots as to why I love Bill Maher.

[@taraberro1842]

Oh my gosh, "making the best of a bad situation!" Bill, You make me laugh...a lot! I love all the Club Random episodes I've seen but I'm usually watching on the big screen so I'm not making comments. I had to come to my computer to write this out. Thank you for doing what you do! I feel like one of the guys when I watch. Lots of laughs, thank you for your finesse with guests who aren't as easy to interview as we'd think!

[@raquel-LV]

William Shatner DEFINITELY Looks like he could be in his 60's and Bill looks like he could be in his 50's. INCREDIBLE! I need to start smoking "grass" again...LOL!

[@thesipsaga]

Bill this is the best material in forever. More please. Bill Shatner ended up interviewing you and it was wonderful.

[@shannonwyatt7548]

One of the most (vicariously) satisfying conversation experienced in several years. Ahhhh. Conversation! Thank you Bill and William.

[@Jschwendy]

Love the Podcast Bill, can’t wait for more!!

[@kronos5385]

This was such a blown opportunity. Whatever your opinion of Shatner is he's led a fascinating life and he's in the twilight of his years. He's also one of the most famous persons on the planet and he's still very sharp at 90. I wish Bill Maher could have asked him more introspective questions about his guests life, his career, and feelings about his mortality. And most importantly, let his guest finish his stories instead of constantly interrupting and changing the topic.

[@strjourneys7919]

Why??

[@kronos5385]

@@strjourneys7919 Because, lately, William Shatner has been discussing his own mortality and legacy in other forums, in text's and interviews. As anyone over 90 years old might be inclined to do so. He knows he's not immortal.

[@ShaunStallings]

​@@kronos5385that is my observation, too. Missed opportunity.

[@veritas6335]

It's that Maher is always stoned and therefore gets talk-itis, like any other person looped on dope. People who are blasted on marijuana never shut up. It's a dead give away.

[@stratmancruthers]

Best show yet, gotta love the Shat, most interesting man in the world. I laughed so hard, you don’t know if he’s serious or kidding, and he’s very intelligent and wise. Great job Bill!

[@RockPowerUSA]

I absolutely love that show and have admired both of you my entire life. I felt I was down there in a chair across the room from you. I had tears in my eyes from laughing but it felt like I was in the room. The conversation was so honest it just kept you feeling you're actually in THE room instead of on a set of a nice room. The Billy Boys innuendo club. 😭

[@Spazticrat]

Bill, hands down your best creation yet. Please never stop, promise I’ll keep watching!

[@hewitttt]

This was a great first episode and the start of something great. Thanks a ton for the entertainment

[@bored1ca]

Shatner stood his ground and didn't flinch when Bill challenged his ideals (and yes folks, Bill Maher was questioning William Shatner's ideals), but it made for a challenging and extremely interesting conversation. Kudos to both of them.
