Met Ray once - came to shake my hand at my bachelor party dinner in a restaurant. Made me laugh and gave me his autograph. One of the nicest celebs I’ve ever met.
I still watch re-reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond every night before bed. They never fail to still make me chuckle no matter how many times I have watched them, and they always send me off to sleep in a really good mood.
On his tv show, Bill is very patient with his guests talking and lets them have the floor. But when here it’s always the same , mostly Bill, a little of his guests.
@@gladitude9 well this is supposed to be a relaxed environment. It’s not an interview podcast. Like Bill has always said it’s just two people hanging out and talking as if no cameras were there. So this is how Bill would act in his natural element.
@@gladitude9 If you watch enough of these, you get the sense that if Bill would just let his guests finish a thought, the dialogue would be richer, more insightful. Bill gets some great guests in music, film, directors, and Actors but he chooses to stay stoned and laugh through half the conversation. It is what it is.
Ray is so sweet and patient with Bill who constantly talks over him and won't allow him to even finish a sentence. How does Bill ever have a relationship?
I had Thanksgiving dinner with Ray at his aunt and uncles house, I used to go out with his cousin in the 80s when I was a teen. His aunt and uncle are just like his TV parents.
Watching Ray Romano ask so many mundane questions about Bill's teenage dating life while looking completely bored may be the funniest things ive seen this year.😂
Good job to the staff of CLUB RANDOM- I’ve noticed the better lighting and camera quality since last checking in months ago. Keep up the great job Bills Interns/ Social Media handlers
I also loved Vinyl, which got cancelled after like a season, I think (anyway, not long), and Ray was awesome in it (along with others). Weird... everyone where I was at was watching it, but I guess HBO wasn't feeling it.
Making a gargantuan amount of success with a sitcom seems like an elixir for eternal life: Seinfeld doesn't look a year older than 50, Ray looks like he's on his late 40s...
I saw Ray on Leno June of 1994. My girlfriend and I flew back from LAX to JFK the next day back when wide body flights could be 15% capacity. I went back to the restroom and Ray was sitting near the back where nobody was sitting. I stopped super quickly to say hello and that we loved his spot on Leno and watched it in our hotel that night. He shared that he was exhausted and heading back to family in NYC and to get right back on stage for stage time. He worked his freaking butt off! People have no idea the hours these talents like Romano commit.
Hate when old single people try and act like they deliberately didn't get with anyone, when in reality not a single woman could stand being with them longer than a few nights
These are great anecdotes! Ray's story abt the cruise ship hallway totally broke me up. Bill, if you ever decide to do a movie, consider adapting your one novel - your roman-a-clef - chronicling the terrifying yet hilarious scenarios you and Ray shared here.
For anyone who has watched all of Bill's podcasts, you can tell that high school breakup affected him in a way that still lives on today. In fact I would argue it is a big reason why he has never chosen to get married. The number of times he talks about it you'd think it was the most amazing relationship and he messed it up. But in this episode it just sounded like a regular relationship that when it ended it was full of pain. Life is full of pain, what is important is how we respond and demonstrate resilience. Bill loves to slam it in the faces of the younger generation how they are so soft, yet here we have an example of a 60-year-old man that in one particular regard shows no resilience, no ability to process pain. Perhaps Bill and the younger generation have more in common than he might believe. Or more pointedly, perhaps he sees himself in that generation and hates the things that he hates about his younger self. Whatever it is Bill, it's time to let it go.
I thought it was very rude when Ray was trying to talk about Jimmy V basketball coach he will be playing and Bill interrupted him, the sign of a great interviewer is to get the guest to reveal, Bill doesnt always allow for that and the smoking......ugh!!
@@collinsmcrae Or how bout the producers do a playback with the host and can point out some of the ill mannered behavior, thats kinda simple to, even for a simpleton.
I was little when I got into sitcoms, All in the Family was the first time I watched my whole family laugh simultaneously. Everyone Loves Raymond was of that caliber. Not social tackling, but husband and wife anilized well. A handful of greats and Rays show was one of them.
Unlike many comedians, Ray Ramano was a fantastic actor and was totally believable on his sitcom. Chicago was my favorite band growing up. I still remember hearing the news and the report about Kath's death. That was a horrible day.
I actually love this side of Bill. He's getting the wisdom to learn that people don't want to constantly debate their religious or political views, especially when those things are very fundamental to people's identities. Hearing him avoid those roadblocks and have a fun, lively conversation about things like music and life is great.
@@devernepersonal3636 Yeah, he’s always massaging his ego! It seems he’s always trying to convince himself as to why he never got married, so that he feels more comfortable about it.
@@ferdinandalexander8053 like why does he even need a guest, he should just film himself complaining about life and trying to convince himself he doesnt suck, like the rest of youtube does lol
Bill, Bill - what an incredible get - Ray Ramon! Such an icon, has great stories about his industry experiences, movies, family, celebrity. Only if...you would contain yourself longer so he could finish a great story - his upcoming biopic for ex. There were some pieces we missed.
Bill is wrong about the Beatles and promotional films for songs, e.g. below is one that the Delta Rhythm Boys made in 1941 and was shown in theaters before movies, and Tony Bennett's "Stranger In Paradise" promotional film was sent to TV shows including American Bandstand in 1956 ruclips.net/video/Ufs1a0kjABg/видео.html
He does!! They get plenty if streamz of expression. This is nit a show for the guests to just prattle on about themselves and promote stuff, like latenight shows. This show is two pple talking back & forth, telling storues, remiscising and or asking about stuff both ways
@@stevegottenbass that's true 👍 but he constantly says he fucking hates kids he didn't even like kids when he was a kid so for him this is a 180 that's why it's breaking news
@@susanbaker2796 I wanted to know more about what inspired Ray Romano to do the project. Mr. Romano never got the chance. Clearly it's not my show and I love most of Bill's guests but I would ask if a project was personal or a subject they were really interested in.
@@josephprolizo701 I hate to say this because Bill has many good qualities, otherwise I wouldn't be watching him. However, sadly he constantly repeats his issues: the younger woke generation; marriage, health issues. Sometimes I just want to scream at Bill, "Yes Bill WE KNOW! We have heard your views repeatedly. PLEASE let us hear from YOUR GUESTS, you know the ones, you INVITED so lets, for God's Sake, HEAR from THEM, Your Guests."
Great conversation! Glad to hear the discussion about the band Chicago. So cool that even Hendrix was in awe of Terry's playing. Terry Kath was without a doubt one of America's greatest guitarists and performers. He does not get enough credit for his playing, singing, or songwriting. Ray, you're absolutely right - that 1970 performance at Tanglewood in New York with "25 or 6 to 4" is one of the greatest televised Chicago performances. Not to mention, the first song they open with is a hip intro, aptly titled "Introduction" from their debut album when they were still called Chicago Transit Authority. Not surprisingly, Terry composed this song, and if you listen to it closely you'll notice how sophisticated the songwriting is, particularly when it comes to the use of the horn section throughout, featuring a beautiful trumpet solo in the middle of the tune. Lee, James, and Walter - Chicago's horn section - are still with the band to this day, and they continue to contribute so much to the band's songwriting and performing. Terry was 32 years old when that tragic accident resulted in his death. I wanted to clarify his age because I just celebrated my 33rd birthday, which is something Terry never had the opportunity to do. Chicago would never be the same after Terry died in the late 1970s, but the fact that they persevered after such a huge loss, continuing their songwriting and performing career, says quite a lot. While their sound changed from the 1980s moving forward, they are still one of America's most influential and celebrated Rock bands. Terry Kath was so much of the soul of Chicago, and the rest of the band have done so much to honor his life and legacy. Thanks for this insightful conversation, guys ☺
I went to high school with Terry. I can assure you that his family, the band, and his fans...continue to mourn him to this day. His daughter did a great documentary about him you may be interested in: ruclips.net/video/f7egJTtz10E/видео.html
@@kgabe1 Wow. Must have been interesting growing up in the same environment as Terry. I'm sure those who were close with him continue to mourn him. What a guy to have graced this Earth. ..... Oh, I believe I watched the documentary you're referring to. Beautiful dedication to her dad. I'm 33, and the fact that I listen to Chicago and music like theirs from that era - a preference I've had over the music of today for a while now - I believe says a lot. There will never be another Terry Kath. God bless him.
I see him interview one-on-one on his show (sober), and he’s good. I saw him interview Ray on his show, and it was great. Stoned Bill can’t remember his Mr Salty bit, but Ray could. I enjoyed Ray, as always.
@@JustTheFlecks Ah, yes. Definitely. I've been watching his show Real Time for years, and these days you can definitely see when he's had a puff of weed right before the show versus when he decides to wait until after the show to get stoned. He's also in his late 60s, and as a guy half his age I know what it's like to be too stoned to carry on a conversation. Gotta give him credit when he's sober (and even when he's not!) 😂
I went to see”O” and it was UNBELIEVABLE!!! We had 4th row seats on the right side close to the isle. The funny part was when all the rich women came in with fur coats, this was 20 yrs ago, and they got soaked with the water. They were so pissed off. EVERYONE WAS LAUGHING AT THEM! It was hilarious. The show was incredible. I couldn’t afford it today. But even back then our seats, 20 YEARS AGO, 150.00 a seat. We were on our honeymoon so we splurged. Worth it. EDIT: I love Ray
To all of you who are whining that Bill is talking over his guest. This is not an interview, but a conversation. Bill has a dominant personality and if the guest can't keep up (like Bill Burr), then it's on them. Sorry.
I was very surprised at the amount of negative comments about Bill. His personality is revving at all times. I like Ray Romano, but I don’t think he could keep up with Bill. There was very little interesting me in this dialogue, and you’re right this is a casual conversation , not an interview.
Even in a casual conversation it's rude to interrupt and talk over the other participant. It's worse when they're interesting and have something of interest to say.
Why do you even watch club random? All you ever do is moan about Bill. I know I sure as hell wouldn't watch a channel of someone that I dislike. Isn't that what they call, counterintuitive?
Retired network exec here. It looks like you looked at my notes from the Carrot Top episode. Just wanted to say the shows look and sound great. Great work!
Love the stand up inside baseball, Bill’s 1st time on the stage experience was mine - I was gasping for the air of laughter up there. I did not have beginners luck like Ray haha
Have you ever noticed how many of the more quiet guests suddenly seem more animated or humorous after they know the episode is coming to an end? They are so excited to get the hell out of there that their spirt finally awakens.
Speaking to the gambling segment, U2 summed it up perfectly in their song, Every Breaking Wave: Every breaking wave on the shore Tells the next one there'll be one more And every gambler knows that to lose Is what you're really there for Summer I was fearlessness Now I speak into an answer phone Like every fallen leaf on the breeze Winter wouldn't leave it alone, alone
Top comments always say Bill talks too much yet the hundreds of thousands of people who can’t be bothered / don’t have time to read comments still love the podcast as do guests
To each their own, personally i'll have to stick to real time. This is one of the first podcasts or whatever these are that i've watched with regularity. This is supposed to be a little less formal, and apparently i wouldn't like to sit down and talk to bill for long, i like to be able to finish my sentences.
Ran into Ray at a Dodgers spring training baseball game this past spring in Arizona, of all places...he was just sitting alone at the back of the seating bowl, blending in, and went unnoticed for most of the game...he really does come across like friendly regular guy!
On this episode, Bill almost never shuts up, barely lets Ray talks and when he does allow Ray to speak he over talks him and barely listen. So, business as usual here on Club Random
YES Ray! Chicago, Tanglewood 1970! FABULOUS concert, Terry Kath, his was the voice that was, for me, the SOUL of that band.👍They were never the same after IMO. Edited to add ~~ if Ray should ever happen to read here…….RAY! Make an exception & go to a Paul McCartney concert….if you teared up & enjoyed the reactions of the audience at Love, you’ll be blown away with Paul, guaranteed!💚
Ray a Bill, the ‘surcharge’ is the 45-50 years of professional experience administering the humanistic approach of psychology to a grateful and more relieved nation. Genuine laughter is therapeutic!

Totally girlfriends!!!
I do too! Medicine for the soul. Thank you Ray! for sharing your "real world" and the rest of that amazing cast.
I think it’s really nice that Ray Romano took time out of his busy schedule to interview Bill Maher

Ray Ramono is an icon. Men of a certain age is a must watch.
LOVED that show. :)
Does Bill ever shut up!? He talks non-stop!!! I would like to hear Ray.
I'm not sure if I laughed harder than that final baseball scene.
Couldn't agree more. Brilliant. Shameful they cancelled it and it's not available.
Where is it streaming , where tu watch
I had Thanksgiving dinner with Ray at his aunt and uncles house, I used to go out with his cousin in the 80s when I was a teen. His aunt and uncle are just like his TV parents.

Big fan of that show, loved it! MM
Don't sleep on Ray's recurring role on PARENTHOOD......❤
A memory that stands out of my dad who passed is him laughing out loud at Everybody Loves Raymond. Something we sure enjoyed doing together.
One of the Top 10 best written and funniest sitcoms of all-time in my book.
Making a gargantuan amount of success with a sitcom seems like an elixir for eternal life: Seinfeld doesn't look a year older than 50, Ray looks like he's on his late 40s...
They live relatively stress free lives compared to the average person.

Is the "Random" part of the Club that Bill allows guests a random word here and there?
Lol. That's about right. Therefore, I absolutely enjoyed seeing Bill Burr on CR carving Bill's ego with such skill.
You nailed it!
Bill please learn to let your guests talk without interrupting them in mid thought.
Bill should just use cardboard cutouts of his guests so he speak the entire time.
That's funny. I wonder what he would do if the cardboard cutout is of himself?
😂😂
😂😂😂
😂he invites people over to talk their eye off
And he'd still find a way to interrupt the cutout .
Bill’s self awareness is dismal
He's so self-conceited.
lololol....you're just not noticing?
@@catteadams lol no it’s just ridiculous
He also is in denial that his ideas are in fact old man get off my lawn
He is the reincarnation of Mark Twain. Shut up. :)
Ray Romano, who has one of the most successful sitcoms of all time, gets to listen to Bill brag about never getting married.
That is ALWAYS Bill's favorite topic.
😊
The rerun, with different guests every week.
Hate when old single people try and act like they deliberately didn't get with anyone, when in reality not a single woman could stand being with them longer than a few nights
The truth is Bill is lonely as hell! And he talks too much! Chill out BILL! It’s probably exhausting for most people to be on his podcast.
I'm so happy Ray got to interview Bill. I think Bill does this gig just to have someone to talk to.

A great conversation between two marvelous, creative comedians. It is a primer on stand up and full of pearls of wisdom.
I have to say it, Ray Romano looks great. He's almost 70 yet doesn't look a day over 50.

"Down With Love" was released in 2003 and yes, it is a great movie that flew under the radar. Great movie.
Yep, it's wonderful. Renee Zellweger, Ewan McGregor, and David Hyde Pierce completely rising to the occasion.

@@joshuafrank4643 he does not smoke weed before doing Real Time. He has said this numerous times.
“Another Park, Another Sunday” is one of my favorite Chicago songs.
An Everybody Loves Ray reboot wouldn’t fare well today because a good 30% of the draw were because of Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle.
Fruit of the month club, lol
Ray was great in this! Good choice Bill!
Arrrrgg 20 minutes in and Bill is interviewing Bill. He should take the word “I” out of his chats.
you know, these arent meant to be "interviews". They're just meant to be conversations.
I still re watch "Everybody Loves Raymond" over and over, love that show!
Bill is bringing the heavy hitters one week and some C-lister next one... I like this mix.
Love Ray...would love to hear and know more....fascinating individual!!
Bill loves one thing more than anything else.... HIMSELF!!!!!
I went to see”O” and it was UNBELIEVABLE!!! We had 4th row seats on the right side close to the isle. The funny part was when all the rich women came in with fur coats, this was 20 yrs ago, and they got soaked with the water. They were so pissed off. EVERYONE WAS LAUGHING AT THEM! It was hilarious. The show was incredible. I couldn’t afford it today. But even back then our seats, 20 YEARS AGO, 150.00 a seat. We were on our honeymoon so we splurged. Worth it. EDIT: I love Ray
To all of you who are whining that Bill is talking over his guest. This is not an interview, but a conversation. Bill has a dominant personality and if the guest can't keep up (like Bill Burr), then it's on them. Sorry.
THANK YOU. this entire comment section is full of whiners that clearly don't understand what this is. I don't get it.
I was very surprised at the amount of negative comments about Bill. His personality is revving at all times. I like Ray Romano, but I don’t think he could keep up with Bill. There was very little interesting me in this dialogue, and you’re right this is a casual conversation , not an interview.
Even in a casual conversation it's rude to interrupt and talk over the other participant. It's worse when they're interesting and have something of interest to say.
Dude the 'pilot light' analogy is perfect man. Bill I am stealing that, sorry.
IF THE JOB DOES NOT MEAN MORE THAN THE MONEY, ONE NEVER MAKES MORE MONEY. Bill, let him talk.
Great guests consistently. Thank you!
Ray gets to spend an hour listening to Bill talk about how woke the kids are.
Why do you even watch club random?
All you ever do is moan about Bill.
I know I sure as hell wouldn't watch a channel of someone that I dislike.
Isn't that what they call, counterintuitive?
@@TheRetroManRandySavageHi Bill 😊
@@nolancho You got me.
Doesn't make it less true
@@TheRetroManRandySavageCan you please pull your head out of Bill’s azz. He sucks as an interviewer
Retired network exec here. It looks like you looked at my notes from the Carrot Top episode. Just wanted to say the shows look and sound great. Great work!
The very best one was a couple weeks ago with Sandra Bernhard - Bill talked 49% of the time, just right.
I think Bill should have Andrew Santino on, Bill would get 48%
It will be exciting who will be the next guest to sit and listen to Bill Maher
Ray listens to Bill’s grievances
i love hearing Ray talk about his kids stories.
Bill talking about Bill while interesting celebrities sit and hope to speak.
He's still funny though.
Nothing is preventing them from speaking. Bill Burr didn't have a hard time.
Love the stand up inside baseball, Bill’s 1st time on the stage experience was mine - I was gasping for the air of laughter up there. I did not have beginners luck like Ray haha
Ray!!! That is my all time favorite!
Saturday in the park and 25 or 6 to 4!! Best Chicago vid eva
thanks for planning to come to WI Bill - much appreciated.
For a few seconds i could have sworn bill was in Welcome to Mooseport with Ray
Jim Norton please, you 2 talking Comedy and Politics would be perfect. The banter would be fun between you 2.
Enjoyed every minute.. two favourite funny men Fly me to the Moon 🎶 looking forward to it...
Have you ever noticed how many of the more quiet guests suddenly seem more animated or humorous after they know the episode is coming to an end? They are so excited to get the hell out of there that their spirt finally awakens.
The best part of these is the reading of the ads 😂
Bill...guest request! STEVE PERRY!!!
Practically unknown at this point. And so old, he’ll put us all to sleep.
That would be a good one. Let's see how many seconds before Bill asks him about Rock Star pussy .
Steve Perry is still really talented.
Speaking to the gambling segment, U2 summed it up perfectly in their song, Every Breaking Wave:
Every breaking wave on the shore
Tells the next one there'll be one more
And every gambler knows that to lose
Is what you're really there for
Summer I was fearlessness
Now I speak into an answer phone
Like every fallen leaf on the breeze
Winter wouldn't leave it alone, alone
Anybody counting? It took to minute nine for Bill to start his monologues.
Top comments always say Bill talks too much yet the hundreds of thousands of people who can’t be bothered / don’t have time to read comments still love the podcast as do guests
To each their own, personally i'll have to stick to real time. This is one of the first podcasts or whatever these are that i've watched with regularity. This is supposed to be a little less formal, and apparently i wouldn't like to sit down and talk to bill for long, i like to be able to finish my sentences.
Ran into Ray at a Dodgers spring training baseball game this past spring in Arizona, of all places...he was just sitting alone at the back of the seating bowl, blending in, and went unnoticed for most of the game...he really does come across like friendly regular guy!
Can someone start time stamping when the guest speaks so we can enjoy the interview?
I have a feeling some stories here are gonna make me teary eyed
On this episode, Bill almost never shuts up, barely lets Ray talks and when he does allow Ray to speak he over talks him and barely listen.
So, business as usual here on Club Random
If you want to watch or listen to a podcast where the host lets his guest speak check out mine! Dystopia Tonight with John Poveromo :)
sounds like you need to find a new podcast since you clearly hate this one. lol
Hey! That was kinda fun. An enjoyable diversion. Thanks, guys.
It took me 30 minutes to realize that I was watching Bert and Ernie.
YES Ray! Chicago, Tanglewood 1970! FABULOUS concert, Terry Kath, his was the voice that was, for me, the SOUL of that band.👍They were never the same after IMO.
Edited to add ~~ if Ray should ever happen to read here…….RAY! Make an exception & go to a Paul McCartney concert….if you teared up & enjoyed the reactions of the audience at Love, you’ll be blown away with Paul, guaranteed!💚
Bill gets in his own way during these interviews. He could make them so much better if he could just set his ego aside.
Ray a Bill, the ‘surcharge’ is the 45-50 years of professional experience administering the humanistic approach of psychology to a grateful and more relieved nation.
Genuine laughter is therapeutic!
Bill is so desperate for any validation from his guests… 🙄
As much as I love Bill Maher, Ray comes across as the better human I think.
Hopefully Bill speaks over Ray the whole time and we just hear Bill and not the guest.
Oh so a regular Bill interview 😂
Foreigner on their hit URGENT has a fantastic horn solo! Love Raymond! :)
Damn, Ray's got some good beard dye going.
Ringo Starr too, today's technology is amazing
Great too see you both 😁😁😁😁
Bill always fights the imaginary enemy that he makes with his OPINION
Thank you Ray for mentioning the great Terry Kath❤
Bill should interview a non-famous person who would just sit and listen
😂😂😂 so true
Too bad Harpo Marx is no longer with us..He would be perfect interview for Bill..Harpo could interrupt Bill every once in a while with a horn honk.
