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.

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.

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

[@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?

Bill is not a card-carrying lefty. He has "righty" beliefs, too. He is, as he says, an independent thinker.

I like Maher, but he acted more like a grade schooler who just found out what flatulent means for about a third of the program.

[@brian782]

@@legalbeagle4187 yeah he’s turning on the charm - it’s the first episode. I think he’ll relax into it next time

[@airheart1]

The end of that was f'n magic.. that was hilarious!!!! Shatner is so awesome. And still unbelievably cool... at 90! The dude is legendary.

[@613Kicks]

What a fantastic conversation. Hearing Shatner drop F-bombs will never get old.

[@thcdad3632]

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

[@duchess2367]

He's a murderer

[@canada957]

Great show Bill. I am Canadian so love Shatner. But you are also my favourite guy in politics and comedy! Kept me smiling for the whole show! Will have something to look forward to every week! All the best!

[@norahgh8532]

it's just amazing to see William Shatner, Great conversation

[@duchess2367]

Mr got away with murder

[@rodintoulouse3054]

i could watch them for days on end...What a fantastic combination of minds

[@spartan_toy_hunter]

The two best Bills in the world together in one room, it couldn't have gone better!! So much fun can't wait for more!!!

[@DannyKoKo]

Agreed but... BM was obviously drunk and slurring his words from the start. BS would have been more comfortable without that, as a man who no longer drinks

[@thomasleffler6721]

Simmons be like “better than me and the 86 Celts??”

[@r.p.mcmurphy6623]

Burr and Murray are here???!

[@ActorKevinOlson]

Billy Joel would be another great guest!

[@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.

The Mustang are fed by volunteers on a weekly basis. I live in the Reno area and they bring hay out two are three times a week. Clearly Shatner loves animals and we should all be grateful.

[@kevinguziec3281]

Really liking this podcast. It's slowly taking over my top spot. Bill has potential to get some really amazing guests on this and I'm pretty damn excited about it

[@TravelPhuket]

I’ve been waiting for this show for years!!!! Thank you Bill Maher!

[@Historian212]

Started listening on a podcast app. Bill never says it’s also on KZbin. But it’s Shatner, so I had to check. Bill needs to spread the word better that he’s got video. Really enjoying the banter.

[@HlifeRomania91]

Yes

[@Jobe826]

Thank you so much for doing this type of podcast Bill! I love Real Time but it's nice to hear a non political conservation. And William Shatner is an icon in every sense of the word.

[@redfinite]

Don’t you just love spending an hour listening two people talk and not regretting it afterwards

[@euro_pat]

Glad you started this podcast Bill. Nicely done. Long time coming.

[@PsychicRaven]

Recently found this channel and really loving these chill chats! Thanks, Bill 😊

[@aw3752]

I have never seen Bill Maher express such unabashed love for any guest on any show like he has for Shatner. And I have to say, I can’t blame him. I would do the same. I met Mr. Shatner and had my pic taken with him sitting in the captain Kirk’s chair on the Enterprise. It was one of the most memorable moments of my life. What an honor. The man is a living legend and one of my heroes… as is Bill Maher. Love you Bill!

[@andygrams6344]

That was fantastic - lifelong Shatner fan, been enjoying Maher more and more this last year, so great to see these two just enjoy each other and being honest and quick on the draw.

[@thesipsaga]

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

[@robsol123]

Love love love all of it

[@michaelpuskas8484]

Somehow, I just saw this. First, William Shatner. Just wow. Second, as are you, Bill, he is great at interviewing. Very engaging exchange. Thanks.

[@shelley2511]

I ❤ Bill Maher .... I am a fan, cannot wait to see other guests have gab fests with Bill! He is a welcoming host and a nice guy.

[@mr.fibonacci6292]

this was fantastic. can’t wait for episodes to drop. bill maher (and Shattner) are legends

[@IrishLatino10]

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.

[@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

[@Lady-Carmakazi]

@@duchess2367 you know this to be a fact, I hadn't heard that
