The way the world is going, everybody could use therapy, but cost of fortune is time-consuming because of the back and forth. Getting therapy should not be this complicated. That's why today's sponsor, Rula, was formed. Rula connects you with high-quality, vetted, licensed mental health professionals that are suited for you.

They're just endless jokes that are made about how much Barron sucks. But if you say a bad word against him, they're like, you're the crazy one. You're a newlywed, right?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
I was a guest star. I played a game show host on Married with Children. I mean, it was a funny show. You can look it up on YouTube. I'll take a look. You should. It's pretty funny.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
So how long were you an atheist and what did we do wrong not to keep you?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
OK, but Tim, the reason why those jokes work. It's because that's how people do feel about marriage. Yeah, yeah. I'm lucky, I guess. You're a newlywed is what you are. We've known each other for almost 20 years.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Yeah. So you married your high school sweetheart?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
And I don't mean that—I'm not saying women are crazy. They're not. Men are also—let's put it this way. We're both crazy, and it's not like men aren't emotional and blah, blah, blah. But I don't really care about that aspect in men because I don't date men. What I care about is the opposite sex. And if you can find a woman who's sexy and also rational, that's great.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Because they sometimes, let's just put it this way, they sometimes don't go hand in hand. That's true.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Hey, man. It is an honor and a privilege. Thank you for saying that. I know you flew in on your own dime. I can't tell you what I...
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Oh, it's like what Tom Cruise uses to climb down a 130-story building doing his own stunt in Mission Impossible. And they say Scientology doesn't make it crazy.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Again, no doubt about that. It just doesn't matter to me because I don't have relationships with men that involve, you know. Once in a while, there have been guys, and guys I like, and I'm not going to mention anybody specifically, but They will get a little girl-like, and I will have to say to them, bro, I don't have this kind of shit with women. You think I'm going to have it with you?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Like, I'll call you back when I'll call you back, okay? No nagging. If I wanted to be nagged, I'd have gotten married. Again, I wouldn't do this for a woman. So just don't be so clingy.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
compliment that is and i and i appreciate it oh i appreciate you having me and uh excited um they told me not that they ever tell me much and i like it that way but that you don't drink so no but i'll i'll have a shot or two with you i can't tell you i'm not i can't tell you how often this happens i said it last week i think like somebody was here and it's like you know the handlers are always like uh

You know, the way the world is going, everybody could use therapy, but a lot of people I know who really need it complain that it costs a fortune, it's time consuming because of the back and forth, and sometimes is a mismatch with their personality. Getting therapy should not be this complicated. That's why today's sponsor, Rula, was formed.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random

You deserve quality care from someone who cares. So how does your wife like West Virginia? I think she likes it. You know, I think... Does she like green anchors?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
So why is it any more impractical than West Virginia?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Well, this goes to what I always say about politics, I think, which is that it's an outgrowth of personality. Obviously, your personality is you want to be remote. You're not a city guy, even though you're from Chicago. That's not your personality. I mean, you're a guy. West Virginia was not remote enough for you. You wanted someplace with an even bigger sky.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Like, I grew up in the suburbs. I never liked living in New York City. I know it's a great city, and I enjoy going there a few times a year in the spring and the fall when the weather's nice, and I know a lot of people, and of course, it's the greatest. But I never enjoyed being there. I like the suburbs. That's what's just my personality.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Maybe that's why I'm sort of like somebody who both sides can talk to because I'm not exactly a city dweller, but I also don't want to live in the middle of bumfuck.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Well, you know, he's recovering and he doesn't want to be around smoke and he doesn't drink. And then they're like, hey, bro, why aren't you passing the joint or can I have a drink?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
I think the phrase I was using last year was aggressively non-common sense or uncommon sensical. And it's like I— Accent aggressively. I don't think the woke people who have the vast amount of energy, really, in the Democratic Party understand why the people vote against them. And it's like, because if you add up, like,
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
How many people are really affected by some of the aggressively uncommon sense things? It's probably not that many.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Yeah. Why are you pandering to 400 people? Of course. Okay. But when you add up these things and, you know, men competing in women's sports and like... just too much indoctrination of children with sexual ideas that they're too young to understand.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Like when you add up all these things that get in the media a lot, it paints a picture, not a wrong picture, in the mind of the average voter that, yeah, maybe policy-wise I would do better under the But these other people just seem fucking crazy.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
They seem like committed to just going to absurd lengths just for shits and giggles, just for the fuck of it, just this bizarre attachment to things that are just ridiculous.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
It is. And that's certainly what the other side does. They call it making you cry your liberal tears. The entire policy, well, not always now. There are some things that have different motivations. I know you're involved with the tariff debate.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Because that works both ways. sometimes free trade does hurt people. And that's why there are tariffs Trump is not the first person to advocate tariffs. He's just the first person to do it in this kind of crazy, haphazard way.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
I'm sure you heard about my little trip to the White House. Absolutely. Thank you.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
And the thing that upset the far left so much, these same people who believe in the crazy things I was just mentioning and the ones who really hate me, they really found a new reason to hate me because when I came back and gave my report about it, you know, among the things I said to your point about everything is he crazy was, I think, word for word,
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
a crazy person doesn't live in the White House. A person who plays a crazy person on TV lives in the White House. And they found that very triggering. But again, as I said many times during that piece, I'm just going to tell you the truth. I didn't vote for him. I think we all know that. I went right back to being as tough on him as I ever had been. So I wasn't seduced.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
But that was my estimation. Again, to your point about is he just crazy? When you meet him in person and spend that kind of time and he's not on his attack mode thing... he does not strike you as a crazy person or a person who doesn't listen or can't hear things. Again, they were very mad at me for saying this, but that's what happened. And I am not a liar. That's my main bond with the audience.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
So even if I offended some people by telling the truth in the long run, that's what I do. And they, yeah.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
You're like Brian Johnson without a perfect penis.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
No, they, they, they have Democrats have Policy positions on everything, and many of them are, I think, preferable to Republican policy positions, number one being they concede elections. That's kind of a big one with me. They listen to what courts say. I don't know about that. You don't think they listen to what courts say?

You ever been on a road trip where one person insists on controlling the music? You're just trying to enjoy the ride, but now you're stuck listening to nothing but their favorite band. No discussion, no compromises, just their way or the highway. Well, that's kind of what's happening with Christian nationalism. Some folks want to
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
take over the wheel and force everyone to follow their beliefs, shoving religion into our laws, our schools, and even our personal choices. But hey, this country was built for everyone, not just for one group. That's where the Freedom From Religion Foundation comes in.

There are arguments, of course, the Republicans, that just works for them because there are issues like what you mentioned, which is not untrue, where it's so easy for them to go, well, they did this, so we're going to do it five times worse. And then they do. But there are some like that. But there's one that has no fuzz on it, and that's elections.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
When Democrats lose elections, it's over the next day.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Well, Al Gore, that was not Al Gore doing that. That election was obviously decided by 537 votes. There was an absolute... When it's that close, there should be a recount. And whether that recount went the right way, we'll never know, because that state was run by Katherine Harris and Jeb Bush.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Yeah, but you know what? I didn't live through Lincoln, but I know about it.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Again, there are history books. There's newspapers. I know. You don't know something only because you lived through it. I know about the French Revolution also. My point is— I mean, you could know about this. Indeed. I mean, this is something that people your age say all the time, and I've made fun of it before. Like, if I wasn't alive for it, it didn't happen. I don't have to know about it.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Well, that'll make you ripped and not medley because it makes your arms bigger and shrinks your balls. So I hear. I mean, like, I never understood that kind of a trade-off. You know, like, okay, I want to excel at this, I assume, so I can get checks. But then when I get them, my dick... Yeah, I've got a mushroom dick, you know.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
You're watching a little too much Fox News or somebody who's slanting this a certain way. I mean, Paul Manafort was sharing polling information with a GRU agent.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Let's not get, because this is a friendly thing, let's not get into the weeds on like the Russia thing. First of all, it's like five years old, so people are bored with it. Okay, but I'll just say this in general. It would be hard to argue with it, I think, but I'll just say it and maybe we can just move on. whatever it was, I don't think Trump was a Russian asset. Don Jr.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
at one point said, or maybe it was Eric, we do get a lion's share of our country, you know, to the company from the Russians. So there was obviously a lot of involvement with the Russians. Um, Trump was asked that as far as press conference, and he said, I have no dealings with the Russians. It's a total complete lie.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
They had a lot, nothing that's not illegal, but it's just a, just to, it just looks suspicious to say, I don't know anything about the Russia. I have no idea. And they're like, I don't know anybody who's talking to the Russians. Everybody in the administration, Michael Flynn was prosecuted for it, was talking to the Russians.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
He said on TV, Russia, if you're listening, I want your help with something. Okay, whether you think that's good or bad, it was completely unprecedented. So the idea that he should not have been investigated for, there's a lot of smoke here with Trump and Russia. To me, okay, I'm sure they overdid it as everybody overdoes everything. But there was a lot of smoke, enough to investigate.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
And what he was asking another country to do in our elections publicly was unprecedented. We always had one rule in this country. We're going to go against each other. Yes, Republican, Democrat, we'll do whatever it takes. But we don't bring in ringers. From another, from outside. Ukraine? They brought that in in the same election, you're saying?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
No, it's possible that, again, there's always some version of it on the other side. It's just not as egregious, I think.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
You sound like you're a naturally savvy businessman.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Boy, you really hit people's nerves. But I didn't do anything. I tell you what I'm not going to do is show up unannounced at your door in the middle of the night. It'll be like Sonny on the causeway. It'll be the end of Bonnie and Clyde. I'll just be riddled with Yeah, boy.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
I agree. Yeah. I mean, I had this actual discussion with Joe Rogan on his show. Yeah. You know, he does the exogenous creams and stuff. I think he's pretty upfront about that. And it's legal. I mean, we're not talking about steroids. We're talking about— Testosterone cream.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
You've got to take it as kind of a compliment. People care. That's true. I don't know. But does it make your wife nervous? Does she hate it? Is she like, get out of the game, man.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Get out of the game. Really? Uh-huh. And what do you say when she says, get out of the game? Yes. You do? You're going to get out of the game? No.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
I was going to say, you've got so much going on, maybe just cut back. You know, less hours, more guns.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Do you know you can have a harpoon legally in some states in this country? I like that. In case you're attacked by a whale.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Well, you know, I mean, that's a noble thing, and I've heard it before from people, and I always think it's bullshit. It's like you're hiding behind that. You really want to keep working because you know why? Like you achieved a big thing. You know, you were a big success. No one saw it coming, including you, right? I'm really young again. Did you think you were going to be this when you were 15?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I'm a kind of piece of shit. But doing this exact thing? Uh... Or close to it? Close to it. Yeah, I'm the same way. I knew I was going to be a comedian before I was 10. And then I imagined, I mean, in my day it was Johnny Carson, so I imagined being that.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
But it morphed into more, no, I think a political talk show, but also a gregarious, charming host would be a great combination.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
But I'm saying, like, I'm sure you're doing this to keep your staff employed, but really, you want to do it because... And why wouldn't you? You're 39. If you quit now, man, first of all, you're going to regret it because... You know, once you quit, can you get it back? Yeah. But audiences move on quickly. Yep. Quickly. They do now, too. No, they always have. Yeah.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Like, when you go, you think you're so indispensable, and this is anybody, and you're not, because there's always people willing to, wanting to take your place, you know?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
I mean, testosterone does decrease as you get older. That's a fact. And, of course, that makes you, especially if you're a male—only if you're a male, I guess, with testosterone—less healthy. Just ask Joe Biden. Oh, no. Too soon? Sorry. We wish you well, Joe.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
I appreciate that because it is, even though the, you know, the problem is that the most of the most influential media is controlled by that far left that hates me. So they will never give it up to me. They will never like write about it, say that, nobody ever covers it.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
You know, it's just like their thing is like, even though the audience is always there and almost always in much bigger numbers than the things they do cover,
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Good. It means so much to me. It's not always good things we're saying. Yeah, but at least you're watching.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
I don't even care if everybody agrees all the time. It's just that... It's about, and I think you would say the same for your show, it's about taking you seriously. It's about having the credibility to have them listen to whatever you're saying. And then you can say your thing. But usually they know, well, maybe he's not completely wrong about that one.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Yep, heard that too. And moving to the right. Heard that too.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
No, you look pretty good. I mean, do I act like it? I've never missed a show, except the two they forced me to miss when I had COVID. They forced me because, of course, I could have contaminated the entire city, could have died. I think I would have died, to be honest. You would? I got real sick. Pussy.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Okay, why are you in such bad health to begin with? Because unless you're in bad health to begin- I was fat.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
That's it. I always said that about COVID. Who does it kill? Fat people and very old people. I'm sorry, but that's just the truth. That's just the truth. No, obviously it could kill anybody and blah, blah, blah. And we should protect, we should, you know, the most vulnerable, but that's who would kill. That's what bugged me about it. Like all of our medical profiles are unique.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
So I said, yeah, that stuff is scary to me because anything you do that the body isn't doing naturally always has the possibility of some bad repercussions. And if you had cancer cells in your body, and we all have some, sometimes you do something to make you healthier and it all soups up the thing That's not healthy. And he had a good answer, though.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
That's why I don't like one size fits all diagnoses.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
So what are you going to do if you quit the game? What are you going to do? Be a farmer? Be a rancher?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Why are you so fucked up? Why do you feel guilty?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
You're lucky in some ways. You also worked for it. And this is your fate and you have it. And trust me, you're not going anywhere. You know, you can go through these permutations in your mind, but at the end of the day, something on your shoulder is going to say, you know what, let's make hay while the sun shines, and then we can go skiing in South America.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Because, like, you don't know how long it's going to last, popularity. I mean, you know, the more you get, the more you have in the bank, it's good. I mean, if you really skyrocket to ultimate sort of fame, people never forget you. I mean, look at Britney Spears. She hasn't put out a record in 20 years. They won't let it go. And people are still very interested. But
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Really? You don't think there'll always be people who are other humans?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
And also just to put it, okay, how many adults are there in America? About 280 million. And Gen Alpha's tiny. Okay, but I'm just saying, of all the adults who could be doing something, If it's 280 million and seven to 800,000 are doing something, yeah, that's compared to how many it could be.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
To your point, you know, like, I mean, TV shows used to get like a share, which is like the percentage of this rating in a share. One is like the percentage of people who are doing anything. They could be watching TV. They could be masturbating. They could be playing tennis or ping pong. And the other is just a percentage of the people who are actually watching TV.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
So a share is a smaller number because, again, it's among the people who could be doing anything. And TV shows sometimes used to get like a 40 share. 40, like 40% of the country who could have been doing anything were watching the Wild Wild West. I mean, that is to your, again, this is your point. Like it's just, it's so much more bifurcated now.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
I said, you know, I'm afraid that this will make me unhealthy enough. He said something like, well, I do it because I'm afraid to be unhealthy, which is, I understand what he's saying. Without the proper amount of testosterone, your health does suffer. So he's putting it back in. You know, we don't know. That's the thing about medicine. We don't know.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Oh, okay, right. So we're going from when they're born. Right. Yeah, right. So we don't really count what they're thinking until they're at least a teenager.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
So millennials ended at the end. They're like from 1980 to the... 1996, I think. Okay.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Well, I doubt if they're going to sell it again. I mean, it was a rare thing. It doesn't happen often in sports when a team sells a chunk of themselves. The Mets were in very bad shape in 2010, and they sold 40% of the team to a select group of investors. That doesn't happen. Billionaires sell the whole thing to each other. They don't sell little pieces of it.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
But the Mets were so fucked up that they were being sued by the Madoff survivors because they were very, the ownership of the Mets, and they were lovely people, but they were apparently very in with Bernie Madoff. And again, this is the New York franchise. New York. This is baseball. There's nothing more Americana than that in New York. And yet they could not attract investors.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
I mean, when I got it, I was like, I can't believe that I got a piece of the Mets. Where are the hundreds of people richer than me?

testosterone i'm sure it's bad for a lot of things it's look if it's bad for your balls it's got it's got to be bad let's keep those i mean i just go by that test wouldn't you i mean it's just that's i i feel like sometimes the people who know the most have the least common sense perhaps i mean you know you know uh one thing that uh i've been dying to tell you given the chances uh
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Absolutely. It was so undervalued. At the time, it was $750 million. Again, these aren't the Royals, no offense, Kansas City. This is the Mets, but that's how much they were shit on at the time. It just shows the sheep mentality. It got into people's heads. The Mets, there's a horrible toxic stink on them. Don't go near them. I was like, oh, I'll go near them. Oh, I'll happily go near them.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
And again, I mean, when they sold, it was for like $2.5 billion. But even that's way underpriced now. I mean, the Celtics, I think, just sold for $6 billion. I mean, I said to myself, if there's one thing that always goes up, it's sports franchises. That's just a no-loser.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
And then the pandemic came along and made it slightly more, still a winner, but like it could have been so much of a bigger winner without the fucking pandemic. So you don't think I suffered? Yeah. We both suffered from the pandemic. You almost died. I lost money.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
But that is the story of every generation as they get older.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
That kids are not into it anymore. Scooting. Scooters.

So there's none of that going down a flight of stairs.

And wrecking your body on an unforgiving pavement.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Don't you think a lot of it is just every new generation has to shit on what the previous generation did and not to do anything but that?

Tim Pool | Club Random
So how old do you think you'll be when you stop skateboarding?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Yeah, that's what I say about basketball. I mean, I always have, I mean, look at my finger. That's a basketball injury. Wow. I don't give a shit. Yeah. Rebounding. You know, when the ball hits there, it's fine. It'll get better. Yeah, jams. That just happened? Yeah, about a week ago. Oh, wow. That's great. It's great. It's fucking... It's totally worth it. I played last night.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
You know, I got to like... I do, like, now when I play, like, I make sure I do, like, a good 40-minute stretch before. I mean, I don't get up and then, you know, knee pads.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
You want all the support you can. I got to stretch now, too. What? I got to stretch now, too. Yeah, you know what? Trust me, bro. 40 is nothing. You're at a great point in your life. It's great to be 40. And look, you're killing it. That's really great. And apropos to your thing about Feel guilty? Don't. That's stupid. If you leave here with one piece of advice, don't do that. That's dumb.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
That's the liberal in you. That's not the liberal in me. That's the smart guy in me. Don't give up your fucking show. That's stupid, too. At some point, they might put you out to pasture. Don't put yourself out to pasture. I can name some people who did that to themselves in this business who were like, oh, I'm going to walk away from this. Yeah, good luck.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
And nobody ever invites you to walk back. When you have it, have it. You have a good piece of real estate. Just take it. Here, let me tell you about Generation. There's a movie called that actually was Johnny Carson's production company made. It was a big movie in 1983 called The Big Chill.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
And it was about how the hippies, the people who were like fucking hippie dippies in like the late 60s when they were like, 18, 19, 20, right? You know, the flower power and free love and Woodstock. Okay, you got the general impression, right? All you need is love. Okay, so... Boomer's had it good, man. Right. So, like, then this movie takes place, like, in currently, which was at the time, 1983.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
So now these people who were hippies are, like, you know, early 30s. And it takes place... It's about, like...
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
some guys he lives in kind of remotely just out like in the exurbs I think it's North Carolina and like all the college friends are coming over and so there's a lot of reunioning kind of thing and when we were hippies it was great there's a scene where like something happens and the cop a cop car comes up to the house and the guy who owns the house and is having all his college friends over and he's just like
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Oh, thanks, nothing, Bob, whatever it was. And Bob goes, oh, thank you. And he goes back in the house, and his college friend is like, man, you were so nice to the pigs. And he's like, dude, I live here now, okay? It's not like we're in college. I'm dug in. I think that was his line. I'm dug in here, you know? Like, I have a family. I want the cop to be my friend.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
They're not all pigs anymore, okay? Grow the fuck up. And that's like the great... conflict of the movie. It's like, are we still hippies with all that ideology, some of which was good and some of which was stupid, or are we just growing up? And you know what? That generation, who did they vote for in 1980? Ronald Reagan.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
A preference? Yeah. I mean, peace and prosperity and democracy?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
I mean, that's great too. I mean, that's a great motivation. I mean, that's the best motivation. I mean, I never... try to fool myself to think that what I'm doing is so noble that it's not really because it's doing what I want to do. If I didn't enjoy it, I wouldn't do it. I'm so glad that it does things for other people.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
And if you ask me what is the great joy of my life, I would sum it up by saying there's this thing that I can do that... enough people feel like I'm the only one who can kind of do that for them. I'm the only one who can kind of scratch that itch. You know what I mean? And every week, I'm like, they want me to do this thing for them, and I love being able to give them that gift.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Like, I'm going to do this. I'm going to interpret the news in a way that... is just different than anybody else does. And it's, it, it, it does the thing for you. And I love that connection. Like I give you this gift and, and you appreciate it. And that really is the, that's the relationship of my life.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
And also men feeling that they were targeted unfairly There is a lot of toxicity in being maleness. Some of that we can't control. Some of that is just how we're born. We were drawn that way. You know, boys are going to be more rambunctious in school. They're going to be harder to discipline. They're going to have more excess energy. And we kind of made...
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
like we do with everything, went overboard and made it seem sometimes like maleness itself was on trial.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Yeah, kind of. And... So it's not surprising that they would run to Trump. They would run to the guy. I mean, it's kind of like, why do cops vote for Trump? The guy who's out there saying, they're not the enemy, and they're not. I mean, there are things that obviously should be criticized about the police too, which Trump would never do because he's always all in on one way.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
But I can totally understand if you're a cop, you feel very misunderstood and you are, and you understand that you do something that the society needs and they don't seem very grateful about it.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Animals do, I mean, I remember with my dogs, not that I would do it on purpose. You know, I would not blow smoke in their face. I'm a PETA board member, for Christ's sake. But, like, if I was smoking and not thinking about it and the dog was sitting next to me, I would see him, like, trying to, like, bite the air. So that told me something about pot. Something about it, huh?

Tim Pool | Club Random
But yeah, but let's look at what's behind that. What's behind that? What it is is white guilt. There's a certain segment of the left that feels very bad about the horrible racist history of our country. which they themselves probably participated not at all in. Yeah. And they are just constantly doing things that they think are for someone else, but I think are for themselves.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Yeah. I mean, it's a lot of self-flagellating themselves about this, the racial issue, which, of course, the history is appalling, and the present has problems, too. racially in this country. But they make it worse. Let's put it just in general. I agree. They make it worse. And it's really about how, it's not about actually helping, making any black lives better.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Unlike testosterone, I use the common sense yardstick, and it told me that pot is not bad for you if the dog is trying to eat it out of the air.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Actually, that doesn't really happen from all their hyperventilating. It makes them feel a certain way. It makes them, that's what people have to realize about that.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Now they're all maddened. Living here in California, trust me, the concept of liberal in theory, this is something I say very often, people who are liberals in theory. And then you see how they live like terrible to the household help. Yeah.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
I don't want to... Yes. I think you said shot. Did you want it... Oh, I'll just...
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
um like consider their assistants because everyone out here has to have an assistant they can't do anything for themselves i mean i do too but i've never called my assistant on the weekend or after hours most people here consider their assistant a 24 7 slave this is what i mean about liberal in theory in theory you're a liberal but like how do you actually live your life and of course
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Very privilege-y. They absolutely hate privilege, but their whole life is sustained by the privilege of not having to be practical or knowledgeable about a lot of things which they pontificate on and act like they're knowledgeable about. And also just, you know, like many homes, like expensive vacations.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
I mean, it's not like they are, you know, if you really feel that bad about it, switch houses with someone in Compton. Let them live here in your house and you could live in their house and then you'll feel better.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Oh, that's good. What is it, do you think, that is making people so mad at you? Fake news. Well, that's very general, Tim. It is, but... Fake news. What do you mean? I mean, I saw a thing. Somebody sent me. I don't know why they sent me these things. Like, the other day, it said... I mean, I'm not even on any of these sites, Facebook, nothing. Instagram wouldn't know how to get on it.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Well, I mean, there's so much to get into here. One is the word liberal, very fraught for me, because I still think I'm a liberal. I think woke is a different thing.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
I mean, but your example about Islam is completely right, and it's one of the main reasons why the far left started to really hate me is because I call out Islam as... what it is, extremely illiberal. That's what's so ironic about liberals being so supportive of Hamas, is because you're liberals.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
And these are the people, I'm sorry, but this ideology, Islam, even in its more benign forms, yes, I agree, the vast majority of Muslims, not terrorists, of course, but Islamists are, which is the word we use to describe people who are not terrorists but kind of agree with the things terrorists are doing and are for, that's a much higher number. That's many millions of people.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
And even the rank and file, I mean, most Muslim societies live under some form of Sharia law. which no Westerner who thinks that Hamas is so great could ever live under.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
They killed protesters. Women. I mean, do I have to say anything more than just, just if it was just that issue, how women are treated.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Well, I do care what you practice, and I fully defend to the death your right to practice whatever religion you want. just don't lie to me and say all religions are alike. All religions are not alike and what makes them different mostly is how fundamentalist they are. Fundamentalist means You actually believe what's in the holy book.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
I mean, there's the Quran, there's the Bible, and they're both full of nonsense. But we have learned to wink at the Bible in the West, whereas Islam, to a much greater extent, takes it very seriously. I mean, we do not have things like madrasas here where they send kids to school and they just learn that one book. They are not studying anything else in a madrasa. That's the meaning of it.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
And, of course, they're segregated completely sexually. So, I mean, what's going to be the upshot of that?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
But what are you? You said you were going on this before. You were like, I'm not a deist, I'm not a deist, but you're not an atheist anymore. No, I'm not an atheist. So what do you believe in?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
So how long were you an atheist, and what did we do wrong not to keep you? I went to Catholic school and there you go. I went to catechism.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
It was Bill Maher's old girlfriends. And it was just like a cavalcade, some of which were my old girlfriends and some of which were just completely pulled right out of their ass. So like fake news, my point I'm making is it. It covers a lot of territory.
Club Random with Bill Maher

I went to the museum in Religious where they have the exhibit of Jesus on the brontosaurus.

Entropy being randomness. Everything tends toward randomness.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
The way it was described to me when I took physics for poets at Cornell University was like if... After six months, you don't reorganize your sock drawer. It's a mess. That's entropy. And that happens in the universe.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Everything happens toward randomness. And it's true. You have to, in your own life, you have to constantly be retarding entropy or else your life is a mess. And some people can live in a mess and clutter and they like it. But that desk that we've all seen where the tuna fish sandwich is under like three piles of... A paper, you know, from two weeks ago. Some people live in that. I can't.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Just fucking with you. Yeah. No, I mean, it's like, I love... the way everybody takes their shot at talking themselves into what they just really want to believe. I don't really want to believe. I totally respect that. No, I mean, it's a lot easier and probably healthier to have that in your back pocket, like to think, oh, and I just don't. But I don't say it's not. You know what?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
People have this thing that atheists are dogmatic. No, we're just saying we don't know. And quite frankly, we don't really care because we don't think we're ever going to really know or be able to know. So we just kind of put it out of our heads, but we don't think it's obviously the myths that have come down to us. I agree with that. Yeah, yeah.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
I mean, I've said this before, but the idea that, and I'm sure the Big Bang Theory is correct, or I guess it is. I mean, again, talk about going on faith. I just think Neil deGrasse Tyson seems smarter than my pastor when I was a kid. My priest was a
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
But the idea that all of matter in the universe, which is just, I can't even go into how big it is, was just fit into something tiny and just exploded. First of all, why do it that way? It just seems silly.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Well, I just got word from the Huffington Post we need to capitalize black hole but not white hole.
Club Random with Bill Maher

I mean, I just don't feel like anybody... uh, in this country can even presume that what people think about them is anywhere near the truth. And if you do think that, um, you're, you're very naive and people are just going to want to believe. Somebody told me just the other day, uh, that, uh, speaking of girlfriends, this one is funny.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
This one wasn't in that list, but they could have put it there, but somebody, they were, they were out to dinner with a few people and this person said, uh, that I used to date Ann Coulter. I've heard that.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Okay, well, but it's not true. And both of us would say that. Now, am I friends with her? Yes. And anyone who doesn't like that can go fuck themselves. I'll be friends with whoever I want. I think I proved that over and over again, including with Donald Trump. You know, I believe in talking to people. Are you?
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
But it's not like I've ever, to either one of them, given an inch on what my beliefs are. It's not like I'm taking in. I just think we need to talk to each other. And anyone who doesn't want to do that. But, you know, this idea that the... image that people have of you is anywhere near what you really are. Yes, that got way worse in the internet age, but I think it was almost always thus.

But sometimes fans, I mean, about a month ago, during my monologue, this had never happened in over 600 tapings in real time, but during my monologue, I see a guy in the audience with his phone out picking a picture. And I stopped the monologue. I mean, I just went, I walked over, I said, what the fuck are you doing? There's no taking pictures here.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
And then the audience left and I said, it's so disappointing when even your own fans are assholes. Because it takes a lot to get tickets to real time. People write in. And he was a fan.

Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
He writes so well about this and about how the modus operandi of news organizations used to be informing the public, and then it became audience stroking. How can we interpret this thing that just happened in such a way that our audience will give us likes?

I just pictured my writers all guffawing just because, you know, I'm always in a, I'm in for, I've had like... a writer's room since 1993, Politically Incorrect. That show went on there.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
Yeah, I'm sure. And it's, you know, the joy of my life, one of the great joys is having a writer's room. I've said this before, but like Paul McCartney once said, I'd rather have a band than a Rolls Royce, and I'd rather have a writer's room. But a writer's room has always been me, The Bachelor, and then like 10 guys who were married before.
Club Random with Bill Maher
Tim Pool | Club Random
And are always making, like, just in the room, this is not going to be on the show, but, like, always just making jokes about marriage and how they don't get laid and they don't get blown. You know, it's like it just never... Telling you don't get married. Well, everybody does it. I watch TMZ every night. The guys, the people in the gallery that Harvey talks to, they're just the same thing.
