Episode notes
We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate 4/20 than having Woody Harrelson back with Bill Maher on Club Random. The setting: The Woods in Hollywood — their own dispensary, complete with koi ponds, bungalows, parrots, and a vibe you won’t find anywhere else. What follows is Club Random like no other: two longtime friends sharing stories (and a few enhancements), bouncing between hilarious tangents, sharp debates, and real talk — laughing so hard at times they’re literally in tears and reaching for tissues. From Willie Nelson stories to the highs and headaches of the cannabis business in…

will.i.am | Club Random with Bill Maher

Senator John Fetterman | Club Random with Bill Maher
Bill Maher sits down with Senator John Fetterman for a brutally candid conversation with no loyalty tests and no easy answers. From Trump, media outrage cycles, and Democratic Party infighting to Israel, Iran, immigration, cancel culture, and the death of political nuance, Maher and Fetterman dive headfirst into the forces pulling America apart — and why so many voters feel politically homeless right now. Fetterman opens up about surviving his stroke, the backlash he’s taken from both the left and the right, and why he refuses to perform partisan outrage just to earn applause. He talks about…

Dr. Debra Soh | Club Random with Bill Maher
Bill Maher welcomes sex neuroscientist and author Debra Soh to tackle a blunt question: what broke modern intimacy—and can it be fixed? Drawing from her book SEXTINCTION: The Decline of Sex and the Future of Intimacy, Soh breaks down the forces quietly reshaping connection: early exposure to extreme porn, AI companions and sex robots, swipe-driven dating culture, and why some wear it like a badge of honor. The conversation moves from unrealistic dating standards (yes, the “6-6-6 rule”) to the widening divide between men and women fueled by social media. They also push into tougher territory:…

David Cross | Club Random with Bill Maher
Bill Maher sits down with David Cross and what starts as loose, slightly irreverent banter turns into one of those conversations where you realize—oh right, nobody actually agrees on anything anymore. Especially when it comes to “cancel culture.” Is it real? Is it exaggerated? Or is it just what we call it now when the crowd turns on you?David gets into the Netflix sketch that vanished, while Bill draws the line between being actually canceled and just not getting invited back—which, let’s be honest, are very different things. They get into comedy, where the line is (or isn’t), and why both…

Andy Dick | Club Random with Bill Maher
Bill Maher and Andy Dick don’t do small talk. On this episode of Club Random, the conversation moves fast—from career highs and comedy legends to a near-fatal fentanyl scare on a Los Angeles sidewalk. It’s one of the more exposed hours the show’s had: Andy grappling with what it means to be cancelable, Bill pressing when answers drift, and somewhere along the way, something unexpectedly tender about grandchildren, estranged kids, and the fragile, hard-won clarity of sobriety. No neat ending. Just two people circling the truth, getting as close as they can. Support our Advertisers: Try…

Ziggy Marley | Club Random with Bill Maher
Ziggy Marley stops by Club Random to talk to Bill Maher about his new album, Brightside. The conversation drifts—from music and life in Jamaica to Rastafarian beliefs, sacred herb, and why Ziggy keeps his cannabis use private and spiritual, not commercial. Along the way, they get into food, health, and a shared distrust of what we consume. Ziggy reflects on growing up as Bob Marley’s son, navigating identity, and learning to set boundaries after watching a life that was open to everyone. They touch on cross-cultural relationships, religion, and the idea that most labels don’t hold up under…

Riggle reflects on joining the Marines at just 19, how the experience reshaped his confidence, and how he managed to find comedy even there—along with the real difference between physical and moral courage. From there, the conversation pivots into sharp, often funny debates on capitalism vs. communism, the realities of marriage and divorce, and why love still matters even when the odds are stacked against it—before…

Andrew Huberman | Club Random with Bill Maher

They tackle shifting behavior, shrinking attention spans, and the future of health—from mRNA cancer treatments to CRISPR gene editing—along with more unsettling territory, including Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to…
