7 years ago I was in Portofino Italy on vacation when I see Bryan Cranston in the hotel restaurant with his wife and another lady. My step daughter wanted to take a selfie with him so I went over to his table to ask him. He said, "We are almost finished with dinner and then I would be happy to". I said thank you so much and walked away but I wasn't about to go bother him again, so I thought that was that. Then 20 minutes later he actually came to find us and said to come on over to the front so we can take some pictures. He was so kind and nice, I will never forget it.
Wow, nice story, a genuine man Is always so inspiring and like Bill, Brian is not afraid to just Be himself, not trying to put on A front like Gleason or Madonna.
I taught history 20 years ago and we absolutely discussed injustice and racism but we did not treat students as if they are in opposition to each other! It’s a story to tell…
@Justin 0ldman I don't know the context of what Dave is and by saying that but Gender is not a fact, we people made it up like race. It's a fact that you are born with xy or xx chromosomes or a rare genetic variation. It's a fact which sex organs or genitalia you have. But the word "man" or "woman" or "transgender" are made up. We made it up. For someone people learning to be a man is more than learning how to use a penis that you are born with. For others, being male means being born with a penis and xy chromosomes. Again it's like race, Joe Biden is white and Trump is white both don't look equally white. What we mean by "white" is melanin deficient or varying degrees of less Melinated.
“Go get your golden globe” was the quote of the show. Love that Bill and Bryan can have a real conversation and find a middle ground. This was my favorite episode. Keep up the great work
Bryan now old and financially secure is now playing along and joining the WOKE club. No thought for actors that won't have the same freedom of trying out for parts as he did.
@@ricogomez4020 Rico Gomez with all do respect you know nothing of American history if you think this is a simple as playacting to a woke movement. I know it has become really popular for right leaning people to take unjust causes and lable them a cool name. They have been doing it for years. It is kinda their speciality. If you honestly think there is zero difference in how people with more melanin in their skin get treated, you need more black friends.
Problem with MAGA people is that when they have been interview that you can't talk to them like normal person because they don't want to hear any other rhetoric other that they understand and follow and that is Trump is the leader he can't do nothing wrong even when he doing something wrong
I guess that works for people at the table. What about the others who question the progress of the civil rights in the 70's. When Critcal Race Theory made people AWARE of the institutions, a counterargument arose from people like Bill. And he is talking crapt for a place at the table.
Loved this one Bill. I went to Immaculate Conception & we had to practice making the sign of the cross for about 45 minutes until we got it right. The nuns were strict.
My personal interaction with Bob Hope was at the Columbus Ohio airport back in the early 70's. He was there for the Ohio State Fair. I was about 6 years old, ran up to him with my mom yelling at me to get back. He met with us, took a picture with my brother who was going off to college. He wasnt a prick at that time. He was cool and friendly.
@@blaizel3748 I like him. Not so much his politics, but his acting and what not. The line blurs, but you must separate. Its like MJ. Because he "seemed" to be a pedo, doesnt make his music not good. Nor Bill Cosby's humor not funny because he drugged women for sex.
@Elayejofis do you know how much Cranston has made & makes? Just like late shows, I'm almost positive that every guest on for profit shows, gets industry minimum. They can't even turn it down because of the union rules. He's not doing Bill's show for the money. Use your head

I absolutely appreciate your comment. I was a teacher, too. i was an English major in a religious school. Many subjects were dangerous in third grade, where the teacher does all subjects. Science was probably the most difficult to maneuver through at a religious school. History was hard to teach, also. It was one minefield after another for the teacher.

It’s always good to see civil discussion about important issues. People can disagree. That’s how change begins. Change with the viewers/listeners and those who host. Fun show Bill. Thanks.
One of the reasons I love this show is because it exposes the ignorance that plagues Hollywood. I still like you all as actors and comedians. Keep up the good work.
How are you feeling? Kind of under the weather, like you've got the flu? That would be the ricin I gave you. I slipped it into that Stevia crap you're always putting in your tea.
It's not just the guest, but bill that makes this a great show. A incredible writer and comic. And to see him laugh..... genuinely laugh is a joy. I see so much of myself in his path of thought. If you get this Bill, thanks for giving me the giggles for an hour.
Now THIS is INSANE. I wait all day Sunday to see who Bill will have on and I almost screamed when I saw it’s Bryan Cranston. One of the greatest actors of all time, easy.
he's an amazing, best actor alive as far as I know.. not a high standard, but I think so many "actors" today, even the ones I like, are very single dimensional and just play flavors of themselves. Cranston's range and ability is extremely exceptional today. He's like.. Neil Degrasse Tyson is to physics what Cranston is to acting. Which is to say if you go deep into theater you'll find more professional actors, but they are academic and not willing to deal with normal people. It's hard to take the serious academic skills into the popular entertainment realm. All that praise despite my opinion is he is off the wall wrong about the race stuff. Have to emphasize that. He's wrong about the race politics stuff in my opinion. Ok. He's still being very reasonable on all the topics they discussed. Maybe he's just busy applying his amazing skills to produce things that make my life more enjoyable. So he's clearly influenced by someone woke and less informed. But he handled the disagreement perfectly, no twitter canceling, just trying to make points.. perfect IMO.
The country has moved so far right this century Bernie is repeating issues of the 1970's, when considered mainstream kitchen table, blue collar sense. Still no 'Universal Health Care'. No sign of "Medicare for All" as one party Loves middleman cut (insurance just one example).
Hearing them talk about growing up Catholic really brought back some memories. I'm 19 about to be 20 but grew up going to Roman Catholic church and Sunday school every week. It was how they described it, boring, horrible, anxiety inducing, and similar to them, the reason I'm an atheist today. Watching two men 47 years older than me share literal word for word experiences similar to mine is haunting. Every aspect of their childhood was probably so vastly different to mine. I grew up on video games, cartoon network, scholastic book fairs, etc. And yet the Catholic religion manages to span nearly 50 years, and give these two men identical terrible experiences to me, a person who has no right understanding even the smallest notion of what the lives of these men born 4 decades before me were like. Truly amazing to think about.
It was an enjoyable podcast. Both men were great. Took me until the end to come to that perspective. Watch until the end. Make no judgements about either man. Listen, learn, repeat. Grow.
Two of my favorite celebrities in the house!!! Wow this was sooooo much fun! Lots of laugh out loud moments! Every week it keeps getting better! Thank you Bill and Club Random team!! I think the reason why both Bill and Bryan are so fit and healthy is that they understand humor, they spread laughter while laughing out loud at themeselves as well as at the jokes they say! RARE GEMS!!!!
I really appreciate this episode the most out of all I've seen so far. Bill Maher and Bryan Cranston are definitely among my top five favorite actors. It's amazing to see the testament of your friendship when you reference back to "Murder She Wrote." Revisiting the topic of race and race relations, the example used about people who had to cross a river to come to this country and now find it difficult to hear Americans complain while enjoying luxurious lifestyles and cocktails, like Mezcal tequila in a beautifully crafted studio, was quite poignant. As a 43-year-old African American, my lived experience aligns more with Cranston's views than Maher's. It struck me how easy it must be to express opinions on topics while surrounded by such decadent amenities, while I'm here preparing to face the world and fight for opportunities. I graduated from college and have a passion for graphic design. However, eight years ago, I lost my job at a high-end food company, and since then, the lack of financial stability has been devastating. In addition, I had the fortunate opportunity to work for a highly regarded Hollywood director and producer. However, the ongoing Hollywood writer strike has abruptly forced me back into unemployment. Just as I could glimpse a sense of peace on the horizon, I am now three months without work. The meager savings I managed to accumulate has been depleted, paid out to the landlords of society. In America, it seems the only color that matters is green, and due to historical disparities in generational wealth, white people have had more advantages than black people. Despite being smart, hardworking, and kind, poverty and systemic policies have kept me from advancing and enjoying financial security. It's a harsh reality that in a money-driven world, lacking financial resources can leave you in a vulnerable position. As I prepare to search for a job in Atlanta just to pay the rent next month, I've come to understand that the mechanisms in life are not always fair. Progress has been made, but there is still a long way to go before every American can experience the same opportunities. It's dangerous to adopt Maher's perspective that suggests we've made enough progress to relax the fight for equality. I find that idea far too risky to consider or agree with. On a side note, if you know of any great graphic design opportunities send me a comment.
@@reginafris6822 thanks for the reply. I'm still unemployed. After sending out over 1800 resumes through indeed and LinkedIn, I can't seem to crack a nut. I'm now homeless spending my days searching for resources. I'm trying to be an adult about it but id be lying if I said I haven't cried myself to sleep. The american dream now more if a fantasy than reality for me and many others. Housing is too expensive. So, I don't know what I'm going to do. I'll just keep pushing until....
Celebrity actors who became super big later in their career like Bryan Cranston & Morgan Freeman are awesome. They remain grounded and don't let that glitzy nonsense go to their head.
True. Success too young seems to brainwash them into believing their own hype. And many were already narcissists to begin with (the business naturally attracts narcs).
Lol at the auto-subtitles at 20:16 - "when the Civil Rights Act was passed by Elvis". Not sure how involved the king was in that particular piece of legislation, but I reckon LBJ wouldn't mind.
Bill really behaved badly. He was so defensive of his position that he just wouldn't listen to Bryan. To me, Bill seems so self-centered he cannot shift a discussion to consider other people's experience. I enjoyed listening to Bryan as he tried to make inroads in a very persistent way without directly calling Bill out on his narrow arguments.
@@eileenmccarthy7392 I didn't get that all. Are you sure you didn't already have some preconceptions about Bill and were therefore seeing what you wanted to see. Nothing in this conversation came off as especially contentious to me. Thought it was great overall and I had a lot of good laughs listening to them both.
@@eileenmccarthy7392 I totally agree Ellen. He sounds more and more like Fox News pundits to me. All self righteous and closed minded and intolerant and snarky. What a shame.
I love how Bill stood his ground and didn’t put up with Brian‘s fake virtue signaling woke crap. Bill is such a straight shooter and not bought out by the fake Hollywood woke propaganda virtue signaling. It’s good that Bill doesn’t sound like a clown CNN or MSNBC propagandist, it’s refreshing.
This is my favorite interview and interviewee thus far! Absolutely love Bryan Cranston! This was an excellent episode. Please have him back, he’s so great! The chemistry between them is awesome ❤
@@a661992 right. I might even pick the Bible as my favorite book. It contains many interesting stories, and is an interesting attempt to define our place in reality.
This one should've been 3 hours. There's so much they could've covered. My God! Please I hope Bill is made aware of how much we need long episodes with certain guests
One of the dopest Guests so far 🙌 Bill likes to talk over but other people can do the same to him and he let them do that. I think he knows how to keep a conversation dynamic. His Guests have to stand up for they points but even when he disagrees, he always finds a common ground after the Battle 😎 Bill Maher is a Master of his own
@@Onigirli people supporting racist theories consisting in tellin white (only white!) people that they are inherently racist from the moment they were born, are not caring or decent. They may be smart and evil at the same time but not caring and decent.
Great conversation. Bryan Cranston was a little timid to make any points that might affect his Hollywood career but he was a lot more open and honest than most people in his situation.
LOL, he said everything that Hollywood loves, he thinks America is evil, white people should think about slavery 24/7, CRT is great no matter what, every non-white person is at a disadvantage no matter what and every white person is privilged no matter what. He's swimming in that woke bulls@@@ and Hollywood loves it.
Bryan Cranston paid his dues being in so many sitcoms. Everyone remembers Seinfeld and Malcolm in the Middle, but he was great in King of Queens too. What an actor. He's done it all.
@xxx s So far. He's very much in prime of a acting career. Great ❤️ Love for getting it right, his Walter White transformation to Hisinberg A masterpiece of TV shows 😍. Supporting cast fantastic.
I'm sorry but I wouldn't classify hypocrite, NIMBY, Hollywood Liberals as a "best guest." As a thinking, analytical, commonsense person, I would classify them as "people who can act but have no business in political debate." Oh, forgot to add I'm also a History-Political Science major, magna cum laude.
This was delightful!!Had me continuously smiling after we got through the catholic stories. ( my father was catholic but my mom was clear we were not going to be raised as one so TG we were spared catechism). I just love hearing about all the personalities and behind the scenes of the Hollywood actors and performers. I am close to their age so familiar with most of the people they were talking about. So much fun!! That repeated Liam hemsworth comparison by Bill was hysterical! 🤗🥳
I am with Bryan Cranston on this. I grew up not being taught honestly about slavery and the history. I didn't learn about Fredrick Douglas or Jim Crow until my 20s, on my own. Neither are my nephews and nieces learning about it now in their private school (in the south).
White people do not own racism. It’s a human condition regardless of skin color. Slavery has plagued humanity forever and bias in favor of people we perceive to be much like ourselves will prevail until the end of time.
The more I hear Bill talk the more I like him. Not too left not too right, just a rational guy who won’t put up with extremes. He’s right that these Hollywood people are just drunk with activism and don’t or refuse to believe that most people today are good. Enough living in the past already.
@@Zeeblud-Music it's disappointing but be considerate of how good he was despite being neck deep in woke influence. His beliefs and arguments about race are aggregated, like for anyone, from people he respects. Yet he kept an open and unhostile conversation going with a 'heretic' as far as those influences are concerned. Most people today, including you, would be incapable of doing that. It's easier to run back into the camp that agrees with you and criticize. Easier to think of how other people could do better. Bill has always practiced being 'civil' while still very passionately disagreeing. It's really tough sometimes, but it comes down to a sort of optimism about society that is being crushed out of people constantly by the current political and societal powers. The more you find comfort in stepping away from these interactions whining, with nothing good to say, the less likely society is to survive this time. Coexistence has to supercede getting everything you want.
@@craigslist6988 I agree on him being civil, and give him his kudos for that, but you don't know what I'm capable of, or what I've done. Everything I see on the daily is in opposition of my beliefs, so I'm not exactly running to my side, or living in an echo chamber. Expressing my disappointment from the millionth celebrity to cave to woke culture, is exhausting at this point, and predictable. "Whining", pointing it out, and giving backlash for that tired, flawed way of thinking is all most of us can do, and vital. I appreciate understand, and get where you're coming from though.
If you were Cranston you’d probably think the same way as him. You’re living the dream, showered with praise everywhere you go, and you’re in an industry where this is how you’re supposed to talk, because it’s bad form to be eating Michelin star food and the finest wines without giving lip service to to some cause. After enough galas and dinner parties you’d fall right into it. Maher is a comedian, they have to observe reality to be any good.
Agree .. I like Bryan but didn’t realize he was so woke and into the white “ self loathing “ thing .. Maher made him look silly and I believe brought him down to earth a bit .
Dos Hombres is VERY good…both Cranston and his Breaking Bad co-star Aaron Paul are co-owners of the distillery…and it has an extremely high rating on the mezcal purity standards measurement…
I do love the civility of these conversations. I guess people take it as anger at each other but you two actually were discussing and debating and just talking like humans should🤟🏻
A lot people don't know Bryan Cranston starting acting in the early 1980's He had roles on Airwolf, Murder She Wrote, Hillstreet Blues, Matlock, A-Team, etc.
@@tmozzz No I was born in 1976 I grew up in the 80s so when I eventually saw him on Malcolm In The middle in the 90s I recognized him from small one part roles in 80s tv shows then he was Walt on Breaking Bad totally different persona but you got to understand he played the villain in a lot of 1980 tv shows
Yep saw it earlier on Faux News .....blown all out of proportion ... as if critical race theory was all they talked about ..less than 1% of the entire conversation
Both are smart and entertaining. But when one person is more drunk than the other, it makes for snippy arguments. Cranston is one of the best actors alive today, I think.
Yeah, Bill can be that old Blue democrat who's racist .. ooh, not that, and Whatley can be the embarrassing spineless dbag on race who has to scream to everyone he's cares more than everyone
Bill should release the complete seasons of Politically Incorrect here. If anyone can make him or ABC create a channel on youtube to compete with the Letterman one it would make a great way to spend the nights on the days there is no new Maher episodes.
Just want to say. This is the best thing going on youtube now. Its so fresh, authentic and makes so much sense to me. I'm not talking about just this video, but all of them. Bill - you are the voice of reason (as Bryan says). Good for you for letting it all hang out... along with your friends!
No idea where I’ve been, I didn’t know you had a podcast and darnit this was out of this world, every word resonated with me. The Catholic School thing, the Church…I was on to them at the age of 6-7 as well. I usually laugh about it but I’m teary eyed right now. It was messed up but I did and still do admire the ritual of it all. The incense was wild and the clanking of the golden holder, can’t think of the name of it. I got chills when Bryan went into the Latin Mass. Jeeze, he can do anything, and you Bill, you’re awesome as always. I’ll be watching all the time now. Whew, I need a sip of that drink and I don’t even drink. Lol Oh Bill! Thank you for mentioning the soda water made with Stevia! I never knew, I take it for late stage Lyme disease by the droplets. I’ll be looking for the water. Love you guys so much.

better by far

It's not just the guest, but bill that makes this a great show. A incredible writer and comic. And to see him laugh..... genuinely laugh is a joy. I see so much of myself in his path of thought.
If you get this Bill, thanks for giving me the giggles for an hour.
You should get yourself better heroes. Old fart Bill with his old-ass thinking.
Now THIS is INSANE. I wait all day Sunday to see who Bill will have on and I almost screamed when I saw it’s Bryan Cranston. One of the greatest actors of all time, easy.
It’s the podcast I look forward to the most now just because of the guests. And he just keeps topping himself
he's an amazing, best actor alive as far as I know.. not a high standard, but I think so many "actors" today, even the ones I like, are very single dimensional and just play flavors of themselves. Cranston's range and ability is extremely exceptional today. He's like.. Neil Degrasse Tyson is to physics what Cranston is to acting. Which is to say if you go deep into theater you'll find more professional actors, but they are academic and not willing to deal with normal people. It's hard to take the serious academic skills into the popular entertainment realm.
All that praise despite my opinion is he is off the wall wrong about the race stuff. Have to emphasize that. He's wrong about the race politics stuff in my opinion. Ok. He's still being very reasonable on all the topics they discussed. Maybe he's just busy applying his amazing skills to produce things that make my life more enjoyable. So he's clearly influenced by someone woke and less informed. But he handled the disagreement perfectly, no twitter canceling, just trying to make points.. perfect IMO.
The country has moved so far right this century Bernie is repeating issues of the 1970's, when considered mainstream kitchen table, blue collar sense. Still no 'Universal Health Care'. No sign of "Medicare for All" as one party Loves middleman cut (insurance just one example).
He should get Sam Elliott
he sucks
This is probably one of the best episodes of this podcast.
Hearing them talk about growing up Catholic really brought back some memories. I'm 19 about to be 20 but grew up going to Roman Catholic church and Sunday school every week. It was how they described it, boring, horrible, anxiety inducing, and similar to them, the reason I'm an atheist today. Watching two men 47 years older than me share literal word for word experiences similar to mine is haunting. Every aspect of their childhood was probably so vastly different to mine. I grew up on video games, cartoon network, scholastic book fairs, etc. And yet the Catholic religion manages to span nearly 50 years, and give these two men identical terrible experiences to me, a person who has no right understanding even the smallest notion of what the lives of these men born 4 decades before me were like. Truly amazing to think about.
I grew up as an Irish Catholic...the Sunday school is very much an American thing
@@warbler1984 It very much is. We have weird traditions here.
Wow
Wow
A atheist has to live with no hope forever.
Great episode, disagreeing and seeing things differently but still be friendly and laughing is how humans should act.
That is the height of phoniness. The only person that agrees to disagree with someone is someone who lets themselves be somebody else’s bitch.

It was an enjoyable podcast. Both men were great. Took me until the end to come to that perspective. Watch until the end. Make no judgements about either man. Listen, learn, repeat. Grow.
preaching much?
Talk about Synchronicity! Just finished a Breaking Bad and Your Honor binge and Bryan Pops up on Club Random. Best interview yet!
This is one I've really been waiting for!
BYRAN, looks AMAZING for his age. He's handsome.
Heck yeah
Bill, this is an awesome show.
Two of my favorite celebrities in the house!!! Wow this was sooooo much fun! Lots of laugh out loud moments! Every week it keeps getting better! Thank you Bill and Club Random team!! I think the reason why both Bill and Bryan are so fit and healthy is that they understand humor, they spread laughter while laughing out loud at themeselves as well as at the jokes they say! RARE GEMS!!!!
Authentic presence is so nice to watch.
Right?! I was cracking up!
I really appreciate this episode the most out of all I've seen so far. Bill Maher and Bryan Cranston are definitely among my top five favorite actors. It's amazing to see the testament of your friendship when you reference back to "Murder She Wrote."
Revisiting the topic of race and race relations, the example used about people who had to cross a river to come to this country and now find it difficult to hear Americans complain while enjoying luxurious lifestyles and cocktails, like Mezcal tequila in a beautifully crafted studio, was quite poignant. As a 43-year-old African American, my lived experience aligns more with Cranston's views than Maher's. It struck me how easy it must be to express opinions on topics while surrounded by such decadent amenities, while I'm here preparing to face the world and fight for opportunities.
I graduated from college and have a passion for graphic design. However, eight years ago, I lost my job at a high-end food company, and since then, the lack of financial stability has been devastating. In addition, I had the fortunate opportunity to work for a highly regarded Hollywood director and producer. However, the ongoing Hollywood writer strike has abruptly forced me back into unemployment. Just as I could glimpse a sense of peace on the horizon, I am now three months without work. The meager savings I managed to accumulate has been depleted, paid out to the landlords of society. In America, it seems the only color that matters is green, and due to historical disparities in generational wealth, white people have had more advantages than black people. Despite being smart, hardworking, and kind, poverty and systemic policies have kept me from advancing and enjoying financial security. It's a harsh reality that in a money-driven world, lacking financial resources can leave you in a vulnerable position.
As I prepare to search for a job in Atlanta just to pay the rent next month, I've come to understand that the mechanisms in life are not always fair. Progress has been made, but there is still a long way to go before every American can experience the same opportunities. It's dangerous to adopt Maher's perspective that suggests we've made enough progress to relax the fight for equality. I find that idea far too risky to consider or agree with.
On a side note, if you know of any great graphic design opportunities send me a comment.
Just read this, in October of 2024. Hope you found a rewarding gig by now.
@@reginafris6822 thanks for the reply. I'm still unemployed. After sending out over 1800 resumes through indeed and LinkedIn, I can't seem to crack a nut. I'm now homeless spending my days searching for resources. I'm trying to be an adult about it but id be lying if I said I haven't cried myself to sleep. The american dream now more if a fantasy than reality for me and many others. Housing is too expensive. So, I don't know what I'm going to do. I'll just keep pushing until....
I hope that things have improved for you, sir.
Celebrity actors who became super big later in their career like Bryan Cranston & Morgan Freeman are awesome. They remain grounded and don't let that glitzy nonsense go to their head.
True. Success too young seems to brainwash them into believing their own hype. And many were already narcissists to begin with (the business naturally attracts narcs).
Cranston may be the coolest guy ever
Lol at the auto-subtitles at 20:16 - "when the Civil Rights Act was passed by Elvis". Not sure how involved the king was in that particular piece of legislation, but I reckon LBJ wouldn't mind.
Bryan is a great guest. He kept up with Bill's conversation in a polite manner.
Brian is kind of a woke far leftist clown like Sean Penn is obviously.
Bill really behaved badly. He was so defensive of his position that he just wouldn't listen to Bryan. To me, Bill seems so self-centered he cannot shift a discussion to consider other people's experience. I enjoyed listening to Bryan as he tried to make inroads in a very persistent way without directly calling Bill out on his narrow arguments.
@@eileenmccarthy7392 I didn't get that all. Are you sure you didn't already have some preconceptions about Bill and were therefore seeing what you wanted to see. Nothing in this conversation came off as especially contentious to me. Thought it was great overall and I had a lot of good laughs listening to them both.
@@eileenmccarthy7392 I totally agree Ellen.
He sounds more and more like Fox News pundits to me. All self righteous and closed minded and intolerant and snarky. What a shame.
I love how Bill stood his ground and didn’t put up with Brian‘s fake virtue signaling woke crap. Bill is such a straight shooter and not bought out by the fake Hollywood woke propaganda virtue signaling. It’s good that Bill doesn’t sound like a clown CNN or MSNBC propagandist, it’s refreshing.
This is my favorite interview and interviewee thus far! Absolutely love Bryan Cranston! This was an excellent episode. Please have him back, he’s so great! The chemistry between them is awesome ❤
Bill knows the business and Bryan knows the chemistry
@@thebigblueviolence lol I just got that 🤣
I’m also an atheist, who thinks that Passion of the Christ is a great film.
Same.. nothing wrong with enjoying something religious without being religious
@@a661992 right. I might even pick the Bible as my favorite book. It contains many interesting stories, and is an interesting attempt to define our place in reality.
Sounds to me like you your days of atheism are numbered 😉
Breaking Bad will always be legendary. I still rewatch it 🔥👌🏾🙌🏾
BB is constructed so that we HAVE to rewatch it. Hope you found the same experience with Better Call Saul.
I re watch BB again every two years (ish) & love introducing it to any odd people who never saw it 😅. It gets better & better IMO.
I would have preferred to have heard more from Bryan Cranston, if he was given a chance to.
Why bother with quests bill...let's hear ALL about your life..? You are kinda insufferable. 😮
This is great. Laughing is good.
This one should've been 3 hours. There's so much they could've covered. My God! Please I hope Bill is made aware of how much we need long episodes with certain guests
bryan seems like a soy boy btch, maybe its just me
these are 2 entertainers shooting the shit. 3 hours??? must be nice to have that much free time.
Shoutout to the humility each one has throughout this conversation.
This has to be one of your best shows, Bill
One of the dopest Guests so far 🙌 Bill likes to talk over but other people can do the same to him and he let them do that. I think he knows how to keep a conversation dynamic. His Guests have to stand up for they points but even when he disagrees, he always finds a common ground after the Battle 😎 Bill Maher is a Master of his own
Brian seems like a genuinely caring ,decent guy- someone you would love to be friends with
Except that he's not. The guy supports CRT.
@@przemekkulesza3242 The contradiction being?
@@Onigirli people supporting racist theories consisting in tellin white (only white!) people that they are inherently racist from the moment they were born, are not caring or decent. They may be smart and evil at the same time but not caring and decent.

@@Onigirli Deep down hes an asshxle
I like Bill in this setting, he's more entertaining and his guest are getting better. 🙏
BRYAN directed their conv÷conversation
Great conversation. Bryan Cranston was a little timid to make any points that might affect his Hollywood career but he was a lot more open and honest than most people in his situation.
Pretty certain he could have named Felicity Huffman if had wanted to.
??? He’s right in line with Hollywood. He’s totally woke.
LOL, he said everything that Hollywood loves, he thinks America is evil, white people should think about slavery 24/7, CRT is great no matter what, every non-white person is at a disadvantage no matter what and every white person is privilged no matter what. He's swimming in that woke bulls@@@ and Hollywood loves it.
@@Bankerguy , Define "woke"? Really. Is it supposed to be a bad thing?
@@Bankerguy I don't think Bryan is into censoring semantics or throwing people off the air for their comments.
I have a question for everyone '' Does it get any better'' not for me. Thanks Bill and Bryan.
Bryan Cranston paid his dues being in so many sitcoms. Everyone remembers Seinfeld and Malcolm in the Middle, but he was great in King of Queens too. What an actor. He's done it all.
but Bill they are
Breaking bad his greatest hit
He was in King of Queens ?
@xxx s So far. He's very much in prime of a acting career. Great
❤️ Love for getting it right, his
Walter White transformation to
Hisinberg
A masterpiece of TV shows 😍. Supporting cast fantastic.
He was in the old 90s corny power ranger show and daytime soaps. He has been grinding for decades
This is the best episode of Club Random I've seen to date. Great discussions, very entertaining.
Cranston's brilliant, through and through.
You must not have seen any others
These two get along so well. One of the best ones.
His new show Your Honor is excellent. He's such a ridiculously good actor, and down to earth nice guy in real life.

This was a really, really great show!✨✨
In less than a year, Bill has had the best guests in any podcast history 🔥🔥🔥
I'm sorry but I wouldn't classify hypocrite, NIMBY, Hollywood Liberals as a "best guest." As a thinking, analytical, commonsense person, I would classify them as "people who can act but have no business in political debate." Oh, forgot to add I'm also a History-Political Science major, magna cum laude.
and he has acted like an absolute turd with almost all of them
This was delightful!!Had me continuously smiling after we got through the catholic stories. ( my father was catholic but my mom was clear we were not going to be raised as one so TG we were spared catechism). I just love hearing about all the personalities and behind the scenes of the Hollywood actors and performers. I am close to their age so familiar with most of the people they were talking about. So much fun!! That repeated Liam hemsworth comparison by Bill was hysterical! 🤗🥳
You are toxic as fuck...put social media down and come live in the real world...
I am with Bryan Cranston on this. I grew up not being taught honestly about slavery and the history. I didn't learn about Fredrick Douglas or Jim Crow until my 20s, on my own. Neither are my nephews and nieces learning about it now in their private school (in the south).
Growing up in South Georgia, we ABSOLUTELY learned about all of that. What part of the south are you talking about?
White people do not own racism. It’s a human condition regardless of skin color. Slavery has plagued humanity forever and bias in favor of people we perceive to be much like ourselves will prevail until the end of time.
The more I hear Bill talk the more I like him. Not too left not too right, just a rational guy who won’t put up with extremes. He’s right that these Hollywood people are just drunk with activism and don’t or refuse to believe that most people today are good. Enough living in the past already.
Exactly bro i just made a similar comment. Its disappointing to say the least to see bryan crumble under his white guilt live on air.
@@Zeeblud-Music it's disappointing but be considerate of how good he was despite being neck deep in woke influence.
His beliefs and arguments about race are aggregated, like for anyone, from people he respects. Yet he kept an open and unhostile conversation going with a 'heretic' as far as those influences are concerned. Most people today, including you, would be incapable of doing that. It's easier to run back into the camp that agrees with you and criticize. Easier to think of how other people could do better.
Bill has always practiced being 'civil' while still very passionately disagreeing. It's really tough sometimes, but it comes down to a sort of optimism about society that is being crushed out of people constantly by the current political and societal powers. The more you find comfort in stepping away from these interactions whining, with nothing good to say, the less likely society is to survive this time. Coexistence has to supercede getting everything you want.
@@craigslist6988 I agree on him being civil, and give him his kudos for that, but you don't know what I'm capable of, or what I've done. Everything I see on the daily is in opposition of my beliefs, so I'm not exactly running to my side, or living in an echo chamber. Expressing my disappointment from the millionth celebrity to cave to woke culture, is exhausting at this point, and predictable. "Whining", pointing it out, and giving backlash for that tired, flawed way of thinking is all most of us can do, and vital. I appreciate understand, and get where you're coming from though.
If you were Cranston you’d probably think the same way as him. You’re living the dream, showered with praise everywhere you go, and you’re in an industry where this is how you’re supposed to talk, because it’s bad form to be eating Michelin star food and the finest wines without giving lip service to to some cause. After enough galas and dinner parties you’d fall right into it. Maher is a comedian, they have to observe reality to be any good.
Agree .. I like Bryan but didn’t realize he was so woke and into the white “ self loathing “ thing .. Maher made him look silly and I believe brought him down to earth a bit .
02:26 Walter White sure knows about Stevia sweetener and how to exchange it with something more... powerful.
😂
That’s exactly what I was thinking!
lol Brian and I could not be farther apart on the political spectrum, but he’s one of my favourite actors!
Absolutely fun. These two need a show together or something.
Yes!!! Seriously couldn’t think of a better duo as hosts
I love Breaking Bad and Malcolm in the Middle
Breaking Bad better.

We knew you loved BBC had no idea you loved regular BC too though! 🤷🏿
I do love the civility of these conversations. I guess people take it as anger at each other but you two actually were discussing and debating and just talking like humans should🤟🏻
A lot people don't know Bryan Cranston starting acting in the early 1980's He had roles on Airwolf, Murder She Wrote, Hillstreet Blues, Matlock, A-Team, etc.
Did you do a google search ?
He was hilarious in king of queens. He appeared on there a few times. Played dougs neighbour.
@@tmozzz No I was born in 1976 I grew up in the 80s so when I eventually saw him on Malcolm In The middle in the 90s I recognized him from small one part roles in 80s tv shows then he was Walt on Breaking Bad totally different persona but you got to understand he played the villain in a lot of 1980 tv shows

These two should do a remake of the odd couple, it would be hilarious, just wiping the tear's of laughter, great show as always 😂
Yeah, Bill can be that old Blue democrat who's racist .. ooh, not that, and Whatley can be the embarrassing spineless dbag on race who has to scream to everyone he's cares more than everyone
It took these two awhile but they truly got each other laughing and me too.....Especially towards the end....love Bill's irreverence.
Another great podcast. Love this…
Great show!............very enjoyable.
Bill should release the complete seasons of Politically Incorrect here. If anyone can make him or ABC create a channel on youtube to compete with the Letterman one it would make a great way to spend the nights on the days there is no new Maher episodes.
God I wish they would release the Colbert report too
honest longform media like this is so refreshing from Bill. Loved the energy.
Just want to say. This is the best thing going on youtube now. Its so fresh, authentic and makes so much sense to me. I'm not talking about just this video, but all of them. Bill - you are the voice of reason (as Bryan says). Good for you for letting it all hang out... along with your friends!
It's a podcast....podcasts aren't new. And Bill Maher definitely didn't create or popularize them
@@timgonzales2891 Good to know... Nice to have a podcast expert like you around.
Say what you want about Bill or his interview abilities but the man gets stellar guests
No idea where I’ve been, I didn’t know you had a podcast and darnit this was out of this world, every word resonated with me.
The Catholic School thing, the Church…I was on to them at the age of 6-7 as well.
I usually laugh about it but I’m teary eyed right now.
It was messed up but I did and still do admire the ritual of it all. The incense was wild and the clanking of the golden holder, can’t think of the name of it.
I got chills when Bryan went into the Latin Mass.
Jeeze, he can do anything, and you Bill, you’re awesome as always.
I’ll be watching all the time now.
Whew, I need a sip of that drink and I don’t even drink. Lol
