Bo Derek | Club Random with Bill Maher

Actress and animal advocate Bo Derek drops by Club Random for a conversation that starts with her breakout role in 10 and ends just about everywhere else. Bo reflects on the whirlwind that made her one of Hollywood's biggest sex symbols, her unconventional life with John Derek, and why fame was never something she actively pursued. From there, Bill and Bo swap stories about Johnny Carson, Marlon Brando, old Hollywood, aging, marriage, beauty, and the strange ways celebrity can reshape a life. They spar over animal welfare, horse racing, and carriage horses before—because it's Club Random—somehow ending up with a plan to spend Christmas in Solvang hunting for hidden gnomes.

There’s a whole big world out there that isn’t about politics and Bill and his guests—from Bill Burr and Jerry Seinfeld to Jordan Peterson, Quentin Tarantino and Neil DeGrasse Tyson—talk about all of it. For advertising opportunities please email: [email protected] ABOUT BILL MAHER Bill Maher was the host of “Politically Incorrect” (Comedy Central, ABC) from 1993-2002, and for the last fourteen years on HBO’s “Real Time,” Maher’s combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 40 Emmy nominations. Maher won his first Emmy in 2014 as executive producer for the HBO series, “VICE.” In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher’s uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, “Religulous.” Maher has written five bestsellers: “True Story,” “Does Anybody Have a Problem with That? Politically Incorrect’s Greatest Hits,” “When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden,” “New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer,” and most recently, “The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody But Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass.” FOLLOW CLUB RANDOM https://www.clubrandom.com https://www.facebook.com/Club-Random-101776489118185 https://twitter.com/clubrandom_ https://www.instagram.com/clubrandompodcast https://www.tiktok.com/@clubrandompodcast FOLLOW BILL MAHER https://www.billmaher.com https://twitter.com/billmaher https://www.instagram.com/billmaher Learn more about your ad choices.

• 1:55Speaker 06

  It's such a mystery.

• 1:57Bill Maher?

  A complete mystery.

• 1:58Speaker 06

  It is.

• 1:59Bill Maher?

  Yes.

• 1:59Speaker 06

  I don't care how much talent you have put in.

• 2:04Speaker 06

  It's all because we want to get high here.

• 2:08Bill Maher?

  And your point is?

• 2:09Speaker 06

  And my point is?

• 2:14Bill Maher?

  Holy shit.

• 2:15Speaker 06

  Hello.

• 2:16Bill Maher?

  I didn't think it would happen until I saw it in person. But you're really here. I'm just so flattered you're here. I mean, you don't do a lot of stuff.

• 2:25Speaker 06

  I don't, but I am.

• 2:27Bill Maher?

  Thank you so much.

• 2:29Speaker 06

  A big fan.

• 2:30Bill Maher?

  Wow.

• 2:31Speaker 06

  So.

• 2:32Bill Maher?

  I'm so happy. I don't want to sound like that. Remember in American Beauty, the kid who was like, there's so much beauty in a plastic bag?

• 2:42Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 2:44Bill Maher?

  I don't want to be that guy, but I feel very plastic baggy today because, you know, I'm 70, but I'm feeling fine.

• 2:50Speaker 06

  Right behind you.

• 2:51Bill Maher?

  Yeah, and, you know, when you're this age, you've had shit. So like, if you feel good and don't have to deal with the health, that's a good day. It's a beautiful day in California. I get to talk to you. I get to have a drink, which I allow myself once a week. Mostly you. I mean, I just, you just don't do a lot. So that you would come here is just very meaningful to me. I appreciate it.

• 3:12Speaker 06

  Well, that's interesting because I am a big fan.

• 3:16Bill Maher?

  Awesome.

• 3:16Speaker 06

  Don't miss your show. So when I got the invitation to come, I said yes. And then I thought, what the hell am I doing? Why me? What are we going to talk about?

• 3:26Bill Maher?

  Oh, we're not going to have any problem.

• 3:28Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 3:29Bill Maher?

  I mean, if you've seen this thing, you know.

• 3:31Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 3:31Bill Maher?

  I mean, I just, I have no agenda, no questions. I said when we started, if I'm going to do a podcast, there's already a million. It's not going to be like the other ones, which really are just the old talk show. They have mics, they have cards, they have questions. I have pot and liquor.

• 3:47Speaker 06

  Great. And no pre-interview?

• 3:50Bill Maher?

  Pre-interview.

• 3:51Speaker 06

  No, but I come from Johnny Carson days.

• 3:53Bill Maher?

  That's what I'm, yeah.

• 3:54Speaker 06

  And I used to have big fights because I would never do a pre-interview.

• 3:58Bill Maher?

  Yeah, because you're a big star.

• 4:00Speaker 06

  No, because.

• 4:01Bill Maher?

  They let you get away with it.

• 4:02Speaker 06

  I'm not very good at my job. So the idea of having to tell a story once.

• 4:07Bill Maher?

  Oh.

• 4:07Speaker 06

  And then two nights later, have to be funny and tell it again was, I wasn't very good at it.

• 4:13Bill Maher?

  It's really hard to do. And of course, in those days, also, like, the way the shows were, they thought of themselves, I'm sure, as politically correct, but like, they just wanted to have the hot actress in the short skirt. You know, I mean, you see, to this day.

• 4:30Speaker 06

  I know.

• 4:31Bill Maher?

  All these, you know, super woke people, but like, they, all the actresses.

• 4:35Speaker 06

  Gussie up.

• 4:36Bill Maher?

  Right to this very day, I'm talking about, you know, the main late night shows, Colbert. They, and they, either, it's either tits or legs, but it's a lot of skin.

• 4:45Speaker 06

  And a lot of flirting.

• 4:48Speaker 06

  A lot of flirting.

• 4:49Bill Maher?

  Which is gross, because who would want to fuck those guys? I mean, me, I could see.

• 4:53Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah.

• 4:54Bill Maher?

  But not those guys.

• 4:56Speaker 06

  Yep. I'm with you.

• 4:59Speaker 06

  I'm right there, and I, I remember, what was it? Larry King, I think. Before I went on, they said, "Don't flirt with Larry."

• 5:09Bill Maher?

  Larry, I, I loved Larry.

• 5:12Speaker 06

  But I wasn't gonna flirt with him.

• 5:15Bill Maher?

  Well, he was married eight times.

• 5:17Speaker 06

  I know.

• 5:20Bill Maher?

  And I knew Larry very well.

• 5:24Bill Maher?

  Not, we weren't flirting, although, remember, he kissed Brando that time?

• 5:28Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 5:29Bill Maher?

  Remember that time Brando kissed him?

• 5:30Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 5:30Bill Maher?

  What the fuck was that about? Brando.

• 5:34Speaker 06

  I, I know a little bit about him.

• 5:36Bill Maher?

  Weirdo, right?

• 5:37Speaker 06

  Because my husband was older than I was and in the business, my first husband, and...

• 5:43Bill Maher?

  Whose name you retain.

• 5:45Speaker 06

  Yeah. Yeah, well, it seemed, it seemed kind of weird to, when you're famous, to change your name, your last name.

• 5:51Bill Maher?

  I know.

• 5:52Speaker 06

  That seems Corey or something.

• 5:54Bill Maher?

  But, yeah, Brando kissed Larry King.

• 5:56Speaker 06

  Yeah, he did.

• 5:58Bill Maher?

  I guess he was just, he was, boy, what a genius, but...

• 6:01Speaker 06

  I know, what a character, you know, I'm...

• 6:03Bill Maher?

  A character, yeah.

• 6:04Speaker 06

  I'm friends, and a lot, practical jokes. He was a friend of my husband, so I was around when he pulled some very, very intricate...

• 6:16Bill Maher?

  You met Brando?

• 6:17Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 6:17Bill Maher?

  Oh, that's awesome.

• 6:18Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 6:18Bill Maher?

  And?

• 6:20Speaker 06

  He was great. He was great, but.

• 6:23Bill Maher?

  Oh, he was.

• 6:24Speaker 06

  Just one thing that that is, I think, funny. It was funny at the time. He was one. My husband's second wife, Ursula Andres.

• 6:34Bill Maher?

  Wow.

• 6:35Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 6:36Bill Maher?

  Was John Derrick's second wife?

• 6:38Speaker 06

  Yeah. She just, there's just never been a face like that, ever.

• 6:42Bill Maher?

  When she was coming out of the water in the James Bond.

• 6:45Speaker 06

  I know.

• 6:46Bill Maher?

  You know?

• 6:46Speaker 06

  Yeah, when athletic women weren't the style then.

• 6:50Bill Maher?

  You did a little, you did a little coming out of the water yourself.

• 6:54Speaker 06

  I think Blake had that in mind.

• 6:56Bill Maher?

  You look like you still could.

• 6:57Speaker 06

  Oh, thank you, no.

• 6:58Bill Maher?

  You look great, you aged incredibly well.

• 7:00Speaker 06

  Back to Brando, when he was writing his autobiography. He actually called Ursula. And he couldn't remember whether they had made love or not. He knew they had dated, but he couldn't remember. And he wanted her to verify whether it happened or not.

• 7:16Bill Maher?

  That's in Streisand's book.

• 7:18Speaker 06

  What?

• 7:19Bill Maher?

  Not, the same idea, not the same people. She, it's like, I don't know if you saw that she put out her autobiography a couple of years ago. It's like 900 pages, but it is worth it. It's, I'm not just saying that because she's a good friend, but it's just such, it's first of all, it's so obviously her voice.

• 7:38Speaker 06

  Oh, good.

• 7:39Bill Maher?

  You know, it's not like As Told Too. It, and she, I know she, I talked to her many times as she was writing, and she really cared about putting it down. And like, her life is just amazing. I mean, there was not one guy who worked with her, you know, for decades, who didn't try to get with her. You know, from earliest times. And the best story, apropos to what you're saying, is she, there's a line in there, it's like a haiku, it's like, did I sleep with Warren Beatty? Maybe, I think so. I don't know. I'd have to think about it. You know, it was like, she couldn't remember whether she literally had sex with the biggest Lothario ever in Hollywood. So, what does that say about?

• 8:23Speaker 06

  I think that.

• 8:25Bill Maher?

  We're not young enough.

• 8:25Speaker 06

  I think there, there must be a. A point of no return where you have so many that you can't remember. I guess.

• 8:35Bill Maher?

  I, mm, yes, that's part of it, that certainly a guy like Marlon, uh, I, well, Marlon Brando too, who, who tried to get with Streisand.

• 8:45Speaker 06

  Did he?

• 8:45Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 8:46Speaker 06

  He didn't know that.

• 8:46Bill Maher?

  Oh, yeah. Um, it's in her book, you know. I'm telling you, everybody. Um, and she's bewitching, I can see why. But, uh, so Larry King, we're starting on Larry King. Uh, I used, I loved Larry. What, mostly when I knew him closely to him, he was married to the last wife, the Mormon, Sean, still around.

• 9:09Speaker 06

  Sean.

• 9:09Bill Maher?

  Yeah, so we're not talking shit about her.

• 9:12Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 9:12Bill Maher?

  But, I mean, it was public record that they, you know, had many marital problems and, but, you know, when you would see them out together, it's this phenomenon that you were bringing up that, you know, he's Larry, he's not a terrible looking guy, but, you know, he's not a lethario like, uh, you know, uh, he, some of your leading men, I'm sure. Tarzan was certainly some, I don't remember the movie well, but I remember thinking, wow, this guy has some great shampoo for a man who lives in the jungle. Cause his hair was like fucking perfect, you know?

• 9:49Speaker 06

  I know, I know.

• 9:51Bill Maher?

  I mean, he and Jane looked like they met at Equinox.

• 9:54Speaker 06

  Yeah. He definitely did.

• 9:56Bill Maher?

  But there's Larry, and Sean was like a foot taller. And model looking, you know, she, yeah.

• 10:04Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 10:04Bill Maher?

  And.

• 10:05Speaker 06

  I can't say anything, my husband was thirty years older than I was. So it's hard for me to judge, although I do, I shouldn't.

• 10:13Bill Maher?

  No, you can.

• 10:14Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 10:16Bill Maher?

  Nothing wrong.

• 10:16Speaker 06

  Cause we learn, we grow and we learn, right?

• 10:19Bill Maher?

  Life is judging, judging, I mean, you can be judgey, which I fucking hate. But judging?

• 10:26Speaker 06

  Judging, what's the difference?

• 10:28Bill Maher?

  Well, judging is making a choice about your settled opinion on any issue. And that's okay to do. You know, there are some examples that would be obvious. Are we judging pedophilia? Yes. Or are we saying, I make the judgment that this is wrong?

• 10:46Speaker 06

  But judging meaning about everything?

• 10:47Bill Maher?

  Well, most things. I mean, you seem to feel a little guilty about this, and I'm saying you shouldn't. Because all we're saying is humans will, humans will human. They're just gonna do the human-y thing.

• 11:01Speaker 06

  Yes, they are.

• 11:02Bill Maher?

  And with men, look, I'm 70 and never got married.

• 11:08Bill Maher?

  We don't need to go into why that is, but let's just say water rolls downhill. That's my view. Which is, and for men downhill is women. You know, it's like sex, the urge to be, you know, that, the water's always gonna roll downhill.

• 11:24Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 11:24Bill Maher?

  To that.

• 11:25Speaker 06

  Yes, yes.

• 11:26Bill Maher?

  With most heterosexual men. And certainly with gay men.

• 11:29Speaker 06

  That's just our animal behavior.

• 11:31Bill Maher?

  Right. I mean.

• 11:34Speaker 06

  Well, if you know, you know animals, you love animals, you know how.

• 11:37Bill Maher?

  Boy, do I.

• 11:38Speaker 06

  You know the drive, the animal drive's very strong. We pretend it isn't in humans, but it is.

• 11:42Bill Maher?

  You know, we both, I'm a PETA board member, I know you.

• 11:47Speaker 06

  No.

• 11:48Bill Maher?

  One thing I do know about you is you love horses and care for them. We have a mutual enemy.

• 11:57Bill Maher?

  Usually people say, we have a mutual friend.

• 12:00Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 12:00Bill Maher?

  You know, when you're with me, I got a lot of beefs. I didn't try to start any of them, they're all wrong. But yeah, Liam Neeson is, I have had a public feud with him.

• 12:12Speaker 06

  Have I?

• 12:13Bill Maher?

  No, no, I'm just saying, but I know you love horses, so I know you're gonna be on my side.

• 12:18Bill Maher?

  His side is, he's pro the horses in Central Park.

• 12:22Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 12:24Bill Maher?

  That's horrible.

• 12:26Speaker 06

  Yeah, I.

• 12:27Bill Maher?

  I judge that. I judge that as horrible.

• 12:30Speaker 06

  Yes. Now, could it be done, could tourists take rides on those horses in a humane way? With animals? With horses?

• 12:41Bill Maher?

  No.

• 12:42Speaker 06

  You don't think so at all? They should not ever be.

• 12:45Bill Maher?

  Well, certainly not, not, not stoned and shitting in a bucket and like, so they're, they're so, spirit is broken as they stand all day outside of the hotel. I used to stay at the hotel across from Central Park. It stunk of horse shit.

• 13:01Speaker 06

  No, it's terrible. They shouldn't be on the street.

• 13:04Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 13:05Speaker 06

  They should be only in the park. They should give that backfield for them to have turnout. I've been through this with people. That backfield with turnout and stables, proper living arrangements.

• 13:17Bill Maher?

  And that's what you have for your, you have horses?

• 13:19Speaker 06

  I do.

• 13:19Bill Maher?

  How many?

• 13:20Speaker 06

  I have two. I have two. I used to have a lot. Where we differ, I would think, because I know, I've come up against PETA on a couple of issues is horse racing.

• 13:35Speaker 06

  I imagine you don't care for that either.

• 13:37Bill Maher?

  I don't.

• 13:37Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 13:38Bill Maher?

  And they're, and they're, I recently talked to Ingrid Newkirk, the head of PETA, about it. And she said, it's circling the drain. They've gotten it stopped in a lot of places.

• 13:50Speaker 06

  Horse racing?

• 13:51Bill Maher?

  Yeah. Do you think it's humane?

• 13:53Speaker 06

  I don't think it's because of PETA.

• 13:55Bill Maher?

  Yeah, it is. They're very, they're really good at lobbying support. Who else would it be? Who else gives a shit?

• 14:03Speaker 06

  It's a lot of things. I, I was a racing commissioner here in California for seven years.

• 14:09Bill Maher?

  Why do, why do you think it's not bad for the horse? You think the horse is okay with it?

• 14:14Speaker 06

  I think at a, at a certain level, yes. I think in California, it's okay. If we're going to use horses at all.

• 14:22Bill Maher?

  But they, I mean, they often break their legs and then they have to be put down.

• 14:27Speaker 06

  In the old days, yes, and in certain states and certain jurisdictions. But that's why when Arnold Schwarzenegger, when he was governor, he asked if I would be a commissioner. And he wanted me to look after the horses. And I think. You could argue that while I was there, we changed some rules that really made a difference.

• 14:51Bill Maher?

  Oh, well, that's good. But Arnold.

• 14:53Speaker 06

  You're not convinced.

• 14:54Bill Maher?

  It's okay. But, you know, we don't have to have beef. I don't want to have beef with anybody. Disagreements are fine.

• 15:01Speaker 06

  I know, but it was a great opportunity to learn about the industry and make some real changes.

• 15:07Bill Maher?

  So here's a story that makes sense to this. I went to a party, a friend of mine.

• 15:17Bill Maher?

  He's a great guy, I love him. And he's become very successful and now has a beautiful house very near here. But this is like 15 years ago. He was living in an apartment, but he wanted to have this sort of lavish, you know, exotic, different kind of party. So this is in an apartment. I walk in and there's a camel in the lobby of the building. And I go up and so it was like, yeah, some sort of animal themed or, you know. And then outside, you know, he's got an apartment and then like out on the patio is a fucking tiger.

• 15:51Speaker 06

  Oh, no, no, no.

• 15:52Bill Maher?

  As a PETA person, I was just getting more and more. And there was a room full of A-listers. And I knew some of them were like sympathetic to the cause. I was saying, we gotta tell Michael. You can't have a, okay, this is just not right. And finally, a few of us go up and convince him. And Arnold Schwarzenegger walks in and goes, I want to see the tiger.

• 16:16Speaker 06

  That's good. Yes. No, I worked with Tippi Hedren. We went to DC and everything on that.

• 16:22Bill Maher?

  The birds. Are you that Tippi Hedren?

• 16:25Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 16:26Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 16:27Speaker 06

  But, you know, she gave up her career for various reasons. But one was to help endangered animals and especially wild animals being pets.

• 16:39Speaker 06

  She really fought that.

• 16:40Bill Maher?

  She probably felt guilty about how much they had to fucking torture birds to get that.

• 16:45Speaker 06

  Oh, it was later when she did a movie called Roar.

• 16:48Bill Maher?

  No, it was that.

• 16:48Speaker 06

  With some wild cats. One of them took, Melanie was a little girl actress in the movie, took her forehead off. In the movie, yeah.

• 16:58Bill Maher?

  In the movie or?

• 16:59Speaker 06

  In the movie, while they were shooting it, it actually happened.

• 17:03Bill Maher?

  Oh.

• 17:03Speaker 06

  But Tibby learned by working with the animals. She thought she loved them. She had, I think, one or two as pets. But she learned in the process that this is not right. And wild animals belong in the wild.

• 17:16Bill Maher?

  They do. Did you ever work with them? Oh, Tarzan, you must have, The Chimp.

• 17:21Speaker 06

  Everything was trying to kill me on that movie, all the time.

• 17:24Bill Maher?

  Where was that shot?

• 17:26Speaker 06

  That was Sri Lanka.

• 17:28Bill Maher?

  Sri Lanka, oh, so far Africa.

• 17:30Speaker 06

  You must go where the elephants are, you see.

• 17:32Bill Maher?

  Oh, of course Sri Lanka for those.

• 17:33Speaker 06

  You can ship in the lions, you can ship in the orang and the cheetahs, but you can't move elephants.

• 17:38Bill Maher?

  Uh, for those who are geographically stunted, Sri Lanka is off the coast of India.

• 17:44Speaker 06

  Uh huh.

• 17:44Bill Maher?

  Used to be Ceylon.

• 17:46Speaker 06

  Uh huh.

• 17:46Bill Maher?

  And then it became Sri Lanka.

• 17:50Bill Maher?

  And it is mostly Hindu, right? It's, it's, it's.

• 17:54Speaker 06

  It's, yes.

• 17:55Bill Maher?

  It's a war-torn island.

• 17:56Speaker 06

  Christian is.

• 17:57Bill Maher?

  Yeah, there's different factions and.

• 17:59Speaker 06

  Muslim, yes. Yes, yeah.

• 18:03Bill Maher?

  That's the world out there. We're in here.

• 18:05Speaker 06

  I know.

• 18:06Bill Maher?

  We're drink, do you drink?

• 18:07Speaker 06

  Not anymore.

• 18:08Bill Maher?

  Oh, yeah.

• 18:09Speaker 06

  It, it doesn't make me more clever, it turns out.

• 18:13Bill Maher?

  Oh.

• 18:13Speaker 06

  I know it does you. And I'm enjoying the, God, I.

• 18:18Bill Maher?

  Oh, yeah, you still, you smoke?

• 18:20Speaker 06

  No.

• 18:20Bill Maher?

  Oh.

• 18:21Speaker 06

  But I used to smoke pot as a kid and.

• 18:24Bill Maher?

  Just to, one of the cool things about ten was the pot smoking.

• 18:28Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 18:29Bill Maher?

  You know, I mean, it was nineteen eighty, right?

• 18:33Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 18:33Bill Maher?

  Yeah, and in nineteen eighty, that wasn't like, I mean, you saw Cheech and Chong did it, but it was like, it just was, uh. I watched it again fairly recently, and I gotta say, it holds up.

• 18:44Speaker 06

  I think it does too.

• 18:45Bill Maher?

  It absolutely does. Now, there are some things like, there is literally nothing you can look at from even twenty years ago that isn't have something that you go, oh, we wouldn't do that today. You know.

• 18:56Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 18:56Bill Maher?

  So, but that.

• 18:58Speaker 06

  Oh, sure, sure. Okay.

• 18:59Bill Maher?

  I mean, like he says, he, the, he's, the, you know, Dudley Moore's writing partner is gay.

• 19:06Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 19:07Bill Maher?

  Which, that itself wasn't done a hell of a lot.

• 19:09Speaker 06

  It wasn't.

• 19:10Bill Maher?

  But generally, it does hold up. I mean, it does have a sexist slant. Because he's a, it's a man who's having a midlife crisis and is lusting after.

• 19:22Speaker 06

  But that's what the story's about.

• 19:24Bill Maher?

  Of course.

• 19:24Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 19:25Bill Maher?

  Water rolls downhill. He cannot help himself.

• 19:28Speaker 06

  Can't help it.

• 19:29Bill Maher?

  I mean, that's what's so funny. And I, when I, when I saw it, I hadn't seen it since it came out, I don't think. And when I saw it a couple of years ago, it was like, um,

• 19:42Bill Maher?

  I forgot that it was such a comedy. That they play, I mean, there's just so, a lot of broad comedy. The bee on the face.

• 19:48Speaker 06

  Physical, yes.

• 19:48Bill Maher?

  And rolling down the hill.

• 19:50Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 19:51Bill Maher?

  And.

• 19:51Speaker 06

  And the hot sand on his feet, which is so gorny.

• 19:54Bill Maher?

  Yes.

• 19:55Speaker 06

  It's all right.

• 19:57Bill Maher?

  And you don't even speak until like the third reel.

• 19:59Speaker 06

  No, hardly in the movie.

• 20:01Bill Maher?

  But then, well, but you are, but when, another thing I for, all those years, you are actually quite good when you do open your mouth. It's a, it's a great performance.

• 20:11Speaker 06

  Thank you.

• 20:12Bill Maher?

  Yeah, really is.

• 20:13Speaker 06

  It was written, and I'm working with Blake Edwards.

• 20:16Bill Maher?

  Right, oh, of course.

• 20:17Speaker 06

  I, if he says you did a good job, you did a good job.

• 20:20Bill Maher?

  Right.

• 20:20Speaker 06

  You can just go home and feel good about it.

• 20:54Speaker 01

  When you think like an athlete, setbacks don't stop you.

• 20:59Speaker 01

  But mindset alone doesn't get you moving again. That's where Icy Hot steps in. Ice works fast. Heat makes it last.

• 21:10Speaker 01

  So when the rest of the world settles because of a setback, Icy Hot accelerates your comeback with fast-acting, powerful pain relief. Icy Hot, you're so back.

• 21:22Bill Maher?

  No, I remember there was a movie star, I won't say who, who I was buddies with at the time, I worked with him in the 80s. And, you know, just say, this movie star was a guy's guy. And he was, Blake, he said, was kind of a guy's guy. I mean, I, when I saw, knowing that, for all those years ago, when I re-saw 10, I would kind of figure it in my mind. And, oh, Blake is kind of a, you know, this guy said he was a dog. You know, that, I don't know.

• 21:52Speaker 06

  Interesting.

• 21:53Bill Maher?

  I don't know if he was.

• 21:54Speaker 06

  I don't know either.

• 21:55Bill Maher?

  Yeah. But very often, those kind of guys, married to the saintly Julie Andrews, you know, but...

• 22:02Speaker 06

  Who's a dame. She's amazing.

• 22:04Bill Maher?

  What is she like?

• 22:05Speaker 06

  She's not saintly. She's fantastic.

• 22:07Bill Maher?

  Really?

• 22:08Speaker 06

  She's fun.

• 22:08Bill Maher?

  Well, you can be both.

• 22:09Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 22:10Bill Maher?

  But she's truly the good qualities of a saint, right? She's, couldn't be nicer, right?

• 22:15Speaker 06

  Couldn't be nicer, but she can talk like a sailor with the best of them.

• 22:19Bill Maher?

  Oh, that's awesome.

• 22:19Speaker 06

  It's good to know, isn't it?

• 22:20Bill Maher?

  Well, remember, then he put her in SOB?

• 22:23Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 22:23Bill Maher?

  And then she showed her tits?

• 22:24Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 22:25Bill Maher?

  Do you remember what a big thing that was?

• 22:27Speaker 06

  It was.

• 22:27Bill Maher?

  Like Julie Andrews is showing her tits?

• 22:29Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 22:30Bill Maher?

  But, no, it's a, it's a, it's a really, it does hold up and it's a, in its broadly comic way, it really does get at that very universal... Thing that happens in, I can only speak for the men, but the midlife crisis. Or the, you know, is this the last time I'm going to be sort of like fuckable, attractive to, you know, I mean, I have other things in life, but you know, you don't want to let go of that part of you.

• 23:00Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 23:01Bill Maher?

  You know, I mean, and.

• 23:03Speaker 06

  I'm sympathetic.

• 23:04Bill Maher?

  You don't have. I mean, you, you still got it. And I know you, it's funny because you said you were so much younger, right, than your first husband. But now you're younger, you're the younger, I mean, your husband is now younger than you.

• 23:19Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 23:19Bill Maher?

  So you kind of like are the poster person for, for the age doesn't matter. It can go either way, it's just the person.

• 23:27Speaker 06

  Love is love and it's individual, you can't, I, I ended up meeting a lot of young women who were with older men. I know, I don't think I had anything in common with any of them.

• 23:36Bill Maher?

  Really?

• 23:37Speaker 06

  But they thought we did, just because of that one.

• 23:41Bill Maher?

  Right.

• 23:41Speaker 06

  Aspect of my life, but, you know, I was 17 and you think you know everything when you're 17.

• 23:49Bill Maher?

  You were 17 when you met John Derrick.

• 23:51Speaker 06

  Uh huh. And he was.

• 23:54Bill Maher?

  40s, right?

• 23:56Speaker 06

  Yeah, he was 46 and.

• 23:57Bill Maher?

  Yeah, I mean, look, I'm talking at the last.

• 24:00Speaker 06

  It's a great age, age for a man.

• 24:02Bill Maher?

  No.

• 24:02Speaker 06

  And.

• 24:04Bill Maher?

  I mean, I, this has been my whole life.

• 24:06Speaker 06

  Yeah, and he was going off to Europe and.

• 24:08Bill Maher?

  And I used to feel sheepish about it because people try to shame you about it. And at some point I went, you know what, if everybody else gets to say, I was born this way, and this is my truth, and you know what I mean, all this, you know, if I were to come out as gay, they do, that's your truth though, that's what you like, you, you were born that way. Well, I was born.

• 24:32Speaker 06

  So you're.

• 24:33Bill Maher?

  That, you know.

• 24:34Speaker 06

  Attracted to younger women?

• 24:37Bill Maher?

  Not just, it's not just physical. There's a certain joie de vivre that replaces the joie de mine that got up and went.

• 24:49Bill Maher?

  And it, you know, you need joie and vive.

• 24:52Speaker 06

  You know, I've always said that I have some friends that are like you and that didn't get married and they have girlfriends, they treat them well, they don't get married, so they're my heroes.

• 25:02Bill Maher?

  Because we're not liars.

• 25:04Speaker 06

  Yes, but men want both and men lie. Husbands lie and it's the, it's being made a fool of, it's the deceit. That's the problem.

• 25:15Bill Maher?

  I feel very good about the choice I made. I feel I made a rare choice. It wasn't hard. Well, it is hard. It's hard to stay unmarried when you're successful. And charming as fuck, as we all know, even though half the town is always beefing with me. I just ignore the hate mail, though. Fuck it.

• 25:35Speaker 06

  I can't believe you get all this.

• 25:37Bill Maher?

  Oh, I do.

• 25:37Speaker 06

  Crazy.

• 25:38Bill Maher?

  Oh, the woke hate me.

• 25:41Speaker 06

  The woke hate.

• 25:42Bill Maher?

  They, exactly. They just hate. It's an animating feature of their life.

• 25:47Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 25:47Bill Maher?

  Is to feel superior to people who are morally inferior because they don't agree with them 100% on everything. So that means you are, of course, morally inferior. And I just won't buy it. I don't go along, and that's okay. The people who love me love my dirty drawers. They really do. They'd do anything for me. They literally say to me, "Thank you for your service," all the time when I'm out. So the people who hate me, you know, it's just like it just balances out.

• 26:18Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 26:18Bill Maher?

  You know, and you, and if I, if I thought that the people who hate me ever like made an honest argument, they're the people who won't talk to me. The conservatives, who I don't vote with or agree on many things, they're always happy to talk. It's the woke people who are like, because they're, they're not really that bright or learned about what the things they're arguing about, so they don't want to argue with me. Because they don't have, they just, they, it's, I always say to them, "Just, just engage on the argument I'm making." Tell me that the argument I'm making is wrong. No, it's, it's always "you're old" or "you're, you know, you're sexist." These are labels. What about the argument? You know, I went to see Barbie when that was out.

• 27:04Bill Maher?

  And I tweeted about, I hadn't tweeted in a long time. When I got home, and just to say that it's based on a false premise, that we still have this oppressive patriarchy in 2023. We don't. There are problems that remain, but it's not a patriarchy. And I proved it because I looked up the board, because there's a real Mattel company.

• 27:26Speaker 06

  Uh huh.

• 27:26Bill Maher?

  And I looked up their board. It's six, I think it was six and six. Six men, six women. In the movie, she barges into the Mattel boardroom and it's all men.

• 27:35Speaker 06

  Right.

• 27:36Bill Maher?

  And it's the present day. So you're literally lying and saying, because we have the facts. Mattel is not all men.

• 27:43Speaker 06

  Why did Mattel let them do that as a company?

• 27:48Bill Maher?

  It made a billion dollars. You don't think they sold a lot of-

• 27:50Speaker 06

  But did it help doll sales? I guess it did, but I don't know.

• 27:56Bill Maher?

  I don't know. I never saw the follow up, but I can't imagine that it wouldn't.

• 28:00Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 28:01Bill Maher?

  Right? Barbie was like all anyone talked about in the summer of 2023.

• 28:05Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 28:06Bill Maher?

  Anyway, when I tweeted this out, like, did anyone engage with that actual argument? No, just, you know, oh, Bill, you're flexing, you're this, you're that, you're old, you don't get it, you hate women. It's like, just talk about what the argument, just engage. And they will not, because there is no argument.

• 28:25Speaker 06

  No.

• 28:25Bill Maher?

  I have you dead to rights. There is a real Mattel boardroom. Doesn't mean I'm saying there's no problem between the sexes.

• 28:33Speaker 06

  Sure.

• 28:34Bill Maher?

  But, you know, they're all so very uniform in their thinking, you know? They love this privilege concept. And there is privilege for white people, of course, in this country. I mean, the legacy of this country is so horrible that all white people are benefiting from stuff that happened years before. Doesn't mean we did it today. But, you know, today's very different. That there's many kinds of privilege, pretty privilege.

• 29:03Bill Maher?

  That's a thing.

• 29:04Speaker 06

  I know nothing about that.

• 29:07Bill Maher?

  Well, I know a lot about it.

• 29:09Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 29:10Bill Maher?

  I mean.

• 29:12Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 29:12Bill Maher?

  Pretty gets you, first of all, you never have to buy a drink.

• 29:15Speaker 06

  It.

• 29:16Bill Maher?

  Or a dinner.

• 29:17Speaker 06

  No, it is.

• 29:19Bill Maher?

  Or a boat.

• 29:19Speaker 06

  It's an embarrassment of riches.

• 29:23Bill Maher?

  What?

• 29:23Speaker 06

  My life.

• 29:24Bill Maher?

  Oh, yeah.

• 29:25Speaker 06

  My life, and because I had, you know, 200 years ago, my physique wouldn't have been in fashion and my, my looks wouldn't have been in fashion. I'm born in the right time.

• 29:36Bill Maher?

  You don't think the way you look would have been in fashion?

• 29:39Speaker 06

  No, I'd become skinny. I would have been considered skinny and scrawny and.

• 29:45Bill Maher?

  I.

• 29:45Speaker 06

  And not Rubenesque and not.

• 29:48Bill Maher?

  Um.

• 29:49Speaker 06

  No, there is fashion in beauty.

• 29:50Bill Maher?

  There definitely is. I, there is definitely a Rubenesque thing. Um, I don't think that was 200 years ago. I think there was a little before that.

• 29:59Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 30:00Bill Maher?

  And any time, um, I think it was, it was past the Middle Ages, but early into the modern era. Um, maybe the 1600s is Peter Paul Rubin. But, uh, any time society is living in poverty.

• 30:18Bill Maher?

  Extreme poverty. Being.

• 30:22Speaker 06

  Heavy.

• 30:24Bill Maher?

  Thank you.

• 30:25Speaker 06

  Gigantic.

• 30:28Bill Maher?

  Gigantic, yes. Yes, being a real pie wagon was just the most fashionable thing, though. Look at North Korea. Like, there's one fat guy in the country. It's Kim Jong-un. And everybody else is starving, but the, the king has to be, you know, he, that's, he doesn't try to like, stop that.

• 30:48Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 30:48Bill Maher?

  That's a way to signal to the people, I'm regal, I'm royal, I'm different than you. You have kids?

• 30:53Speaker 06

  Nope.

• 30:54Bill Maher?

  No kids? Look at you, you and me, no kids.

• 30:59Bill Maher?

  You didn't want him.

• 31:01Speaker 06

  No, I thought I did, just because you do. You just saw, everyone says you were going to have kids. And then when, I think I hit about thirty-two, I thought, oh, I better start working on this. And scheduling it.

• 31:16Bill Maher?

  You're still married to John?

• 31:17Speaker 06

  Yeah, I kept waiting for my life to slow down. It never slowed down.

• 31:21Bill Maher?

  And he didn't say, I wanna put a baby in you? No, he didn't want to.

• 31:26Speaker 06

  He'd had two kids from the previous marriage.

• 31:29Bill Maher?

  Oh, right, he was older, so he'd done it.

• 31:31Speaker 06

  Yeah, he'd done it.

• 31:31Bill Maher?

  Oh, so that's perfect.

• 31:32Speaker 06

  And, um, so when I thought I wanted it, then I really started sit down, sitting down to scheduling. And I thought, I'm not mother material. My husband certainly isn't father material. I mean, he was the most judgmental, um, oddball.

• 31:51Bill Maher?

  Who?

• 31:51Speaker 06

  And Derek.

• 31:53Bill Maher?

  Your husband?

• 31:54Speaker 06

  Uh huh.

• 31:54Bill Maher?

  Was it judgmental oddball?

• 31:55Speaker 06

  Well, he kinda lived in a fantasy world and was very, he was very tough on his children from his first marriage. And that didn't work out well because he was tough.

• 32:09Bill Maher?

  Well.

• 32:10Speaker 06

  And I think kids, and then you look around it. At least back then, I don't think so much now, maybe, but back in the eighties, kids of famous people were really struggling.

• 32:27Bill Maher?

  Nepo babies, we call them now.

• 32:30Speaker 06

  No, but then I think they were left home more.

• 32:32Bill Maher?

  No, nepo baby, you've heard that term?

• 32:34Speaker 06

  I have, yes.

• 32:35Bill Maher?

  Yeah, okay, that's anybody who's, and that doesn't mean that they can't be talented themselves, but it is a big advantage.

• 32:43Speaker 06

  But I think they grew up with a chip on their shoulder, a lot of them, because they were left at home then.

• 32:49Bill Maher?

  You know what?

• 32:50Speaker 06

  They weren't brought on the set. They didn't have the nannies where they were in their parents' lives so much.

• 32:55Bill Maher?

  You're right, things changed.

• 32:56Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 32:57Bill Maher?

  It was harder then. Now, it's great. All these kids are very happy, all the ones who are like twenty years old now, Johnny Depp's kid, and I mean, everybody who's ever been anybody from twenty years ago, their kid is now like, and the kids are very happy with this. They don't want real jobs.

• 33:14Speaker 06

  I know.

• 33:15Bill Maher?

  And it's okay, but just, just, you know, I've heard at times this argument, you know, oh, it's harder for, it's not harder for you.

• 33:21Speaker 06

  It's not harder.

• 33:22Bill Maher?

  It's easier for you, especially now.

• 33:24Speaker 06

  It's definitely easier.

• 33:25Bill Maher?

  Nepo babies are everywhere. They really are.

• 33:28Speaker 06

  They are.

• 33:29Bill Maher?

  And it's okay.

• 33:30Speaker 06

  And, you know, I was, I couldn't wait to drive. I couldn't wait to get my first job, to have my own money that I could

• 33:39Bill Maher?

  Me too.

• 33:40Speaker 06

  Buy pot with.

• 33:41Bill Maher?

  Yeah. Oh, so you did smoke pot?

• 33:43Speaker 06

  I did.

• 33:44Bill Maher?

  How good for you.

• 33:44Speaker 06

  I did, when I was in high school.

• 33:46Bill Maher?

  When you were filming that?

• 33:47Speaker 06

  I don't know if I really liked it as much as I liked the fact that I was hip and I was smoking.

• 33:54Bill Maher?

  When you, when you filmed that in Ten?

• 33:56Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 33:57Bill Maher?

  Were you really smoking pot?

• 33:58Speaker 06

  No, no, they brought some, they brought some, I don't know, herbal something.

• 34:04Bill Maher?

  Okay. You made it look real. It certainly was a great fantasy for me. Well, you said your husband fantasy, you know, he's lived in his, and then he, but like he married the fantasy girl. He married the girl who like, it's so funny the way America like gets fixated on like one girl for like ten years.

• 34:24Speaker 06

  Right.

• 34:25Bill Maher?

  The, you are like, it happened with Carmen Electra.

• 34:28Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm.

• 34:28Bill Maher?

  Pamela Anderson. It's like, for like a whole decade, there's like one pretty girl in the whole country. You were that girl.

• 34:35Speaker 06

  It turned out.

• 34:37Bill Maher?

  It's just like, no, nobody else, and it's like, come on, isn't somebody else a little, no!

• 34:42Speaker 06

  No.

• 34:43Bill Maher?

  It's Carmen Electra again, that's it. And it was like, that must have been, I mean, obviously gratifying in one way, kind of a burden in another.

• 34:53Speaker 06

  It was none of those things.

• 34:55Bill Maher?

  Like I say, not that.

• 34:56Speaker 06

  It was just, it was just a whirlwind because I wasn't, I had no aspirations to be in films. I had, when I did Ten, it was just a fluke that I got the part. And I had no agent, no manager, no, nothing, no fantasies about being in the movies. So it came at me so fast and turned my life around. So I, I always felt I was kind of catching up, never stopped to think, I, I was just always uncomfortable with my image, being all over magazines when I walked down the street. And I always felt kind of fake and an impostor at the same time.

• 35:36Speaker 06

  Cause I didn't work as an actress, I didn't, or drive a limo, or whatever everybody else did to be in movies.

• 35:44Bill Maher?

  It is so funny that so many people, they want it. They yearn for it so badly. And it almost works against them. And there's something that reads, I think, about someone who actually doesn't care if I get this part. It's just like in a relationship. You know, if you have that, like, you know, I could go out with you, or I, you know, it's not gonna kill me if I don't, you know, as opposed to the thirsty guy who's never attractive to a woman. I mean, a woman is always gonna think, well, if he's too good for me, he must be awesome, you know? And it's kind of the same in the business, you know? It's like, well, if she really doesn't care, I mean, it's genuine. They just, they just feel it.

• 36:27Bill Maher?

  It's like, wow, she's too good for us. We want her.

• 36:31Speaker 06

  Well, that, it was that way when I went on my interview with Blake. You know, I just came in, it was just a fluke. A girlfriend said, he's looking for this girl and he wants to meet you. Because my husband had had a reputation for having beautiful women in his life.

• 36:47Bill Maher?

  Well, Ursula Andrus.

• 36:49Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah, Linda Evans. That was his third wife.

• 36:52Bill Maher?

  Lind, who's that again?

• 36:54Speaker 06

  Dynasty.

• 36:55Bill Maher?

  Oh, of course, the blo-

• 36:57Speaker 06

  Big Valley.

• 36:58Bill Maher?

  Wait, he got with her too?

• 37:00Speaker 06

  That was his third wife.

• 37:01Bill Maher?

  Oh, fuck.

• 37:02Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 37:02Bill Maher?

  Third wife before you?

• 37:03Speaker 06

  Uh huh.

• 37:04Bill Maher?

  You were the fourth one?

• 37:05Speaker 06

  I was the fourth.

• 37:08Bill Maher?

  I bought this house from someone who, whose wife was part of a fifth wives' club. There was a fifth wives' club out here in Posh. We wouldn't say exactly what part of Los Angeles this is in, but a nice, let's just say, a nice one that didn't burn down last year.

• 37:34Speaker 06

  Okay, okay, in that neighborhood, yeah.

• 37:37Bill Maher?

  And they were all like, well, I'll just say, they're all Beverly Hills housewives. And, you know, the fact that there was-

• 37:46Bill Maher?

  Says something about this business. The fact that there was enough of them to have a club.

• 37:52Speaker 06

  I know.

• 37:52Bill Maher?

  Of the, and they were all.

• 37:54Speaker 06

  And they liked to get together?

• 37:55Bill Maher?

  Yes, it was a club and they were all happy. Like it took this fucker four marriages to figure it out. And now they were obviously older in life.

• 38:07Speaker 06

  No, wait, these are women who were individually the number five? Or was this from the same man?

• 38:14Bill Maher?

  No, not the same man.

• 38:15Speaker 06

  Oh, okay, that's what I thought.

• 38:18Bill Maher?

  Different sort of Hollywood types and moguls and who married five times. Is the kind of guy who just, they just get married, they just.

• 38:27Speaker 06

  They do, and there's another thing that I think happens too. Is a guy can come on real strong, sweep a young woman off her feet.

• 38:37Bill Maher?

  Right.

• 38:39Speaker 06

  Promise of the moon, then because of his privilege in life, he might water, might run downhill and he starts looking somewhere else. And I think that, you know, certain men who have a certain affluence have more opportunity.

• 38:57Bill Maher?

  Of course.

• 38:58Speaker 06

  To do this.

• 38:59Bill Maher?

  Of course.

• 39:00Speaker 06

  You're not gonna have.

• 39:01Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 39:02Speaker 06

  A guy who really works hard for a living with five wives.

• 39:05Bill Maher?

  No, no, exactly. Well, I'm telling you, it's a Beverly Hills club.

• 39:10Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 39:10Bill Maher?

  And they were all happy. It's, that, that's what she told me, like they were, like it was a, the guy had finally settled down, it just.

• 39:20Speaker 06

  Oh, they were the last one.

• 39:21Bill Maher?

  The fifth.

• 39:22Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 39:23Bill Maher?

  So.

• 39:24Speaker 06

  That happens too, physically, happened with my father.

• 39:29Bill Maher?

  What do you mean?

• 39:29Speaker 06

  My father was kind of, was quite a rake. And he finally, we all thought, cause I'm one of four kids, we thought he'd found the love of his life finally. And later on in life, he said, no, you don't understand, I just, the drive was gone.

• 39:47Bill Maher?

  That's the thing.

• 39:48Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 39:49Bill Maher?

  It's, I mean, look, Anthony Quinn had a baby out of wedlock at 80.

• 39:54Speaker 06

  I know, I know.

• 39:54Bill Maher?

  So, you know.

• 39:55Speaker 06

  I know, I was doing a film with him.

• 39:57Bill Maher?

  I always thought.

• 39:59Speaker 06

  I know, I was there for the whole drama with his wife and everything.

• 40:02Bill Maher?

  The poor wife must be like, 80? How old is this motherfucker? I have to get before I have to stop worrying about him going out on me.

• 40:11Speaker 06

  So dramatic, yeah.

  Welcome to the 50th Hunger Games.

• 41:13Speaker 04

  Witness the beginning of the revolution. Hey Mitch, you've been trying to take down these games from the start. Filmed for IMAX. Make them remember you. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, November 20th, rated PG-13.

• 41:26Bill Maher?

  But, yes, the drive, I mean, but that's always been my issue. Like, I just, I, when I, anytime, I'm trying not to be crude about this. Anytime I have sex, I just feel like it has to be like I just got out of prison. Or else I don't wanna do it. You know what I mean?

• 41:48Speaker 06

  Kind of, yeah.

• 41:49Bill Maher?

  I mean.

• 41:50Speaker 06

  I don't know.

• 41:50Bill Maher?

  It's not, it's not the kind of thing. Either you should do, either you should be very passionate or just don't do it. Like, if, if you used to do it.

• 42:00Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 42:01Bill Maher?

  Twenty-one times a week, you know.

• 42:05Bill Maher?

  That, that's not gonna happen. But make the times that you do do it as good as when it used to it. Like the, you know, the Toby Keith song, I ain't as good as I once was.

• 42:15Speaker 06

  Right.

• 42:16Bill Maher?

  But I'm as good once as I ever was.

• 42:18Speaker 06

  Yes. Sweet Toby.

• 42:20Bill Maher?

  Oh, you knew him?

• 42:21Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 42:22Bill Maher?

  Wow.

• 42:23Speaker 06

  He had racehorses.

• 42:28Bill Maher?

  Well.

• 42:28Speaker 06

  Racehorses, good ones.

• 42:30Bill Maher?

  I only discovered his music recently. I think when he died, I was like, oh, you know, I used to make fun of this guy back in two thousand and three with the Iraq war and he had that song about.

• 42:39Speaker 06

  Those corny songs.

• 42:40Bill Maher?

  Put a boot in your ass and we made fun. And I was like, but I never really gave him a chance. And then I listened to, I got his like greatest hits. I was like, wow, this guy was talented and he has some amazingly great songs. And I don't even, I kinda like the boot in the ass one now.

• 42:56Speaker 06

  Now you do.

• 42:58Bill Maher?

  Well, I wasn't for the Iraq war.

• 43:00Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 43:01Bill Maher?

  So that was, you know, I didn't think of the right war to fight. I like it more for the one we're in now, but we don't wanna get into that. And by the way, in my life, I'll just share this with you. There is nothing, and I mean that very literally, nothing more compelling than I've ever experienced than a beautiful woman who's also great to talk to. You know, that's like, that's like everything.

• 43:26Speaker 06

  Those both ways, yeah.

• 43:27Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 43:27Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 43:28Bill Maher?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 43:29Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 43:29Bill Maher?

  But I've never been.

• 43:30Speaker 06

  It's my favorite thing. I, I, I'm just.

• 43:35Speaker 06

  Lucky to be around some really intelligent people that I call friends. And I love nothing more than sitting and talking to them. My best friend is a politician.

• 43:44Bill Maher?

  A politician?

• 43:45Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm.

• 43:46Bill Maher?

  Can we share that?

• 43:47Speaker 06

  And she's fascinating, just fascinating. And she brings me along.

• 43:51Bill Maher?

  Who is it?

• 43:52Speaker 06

  Yeah, Ivan Baki. She brings me along.

• 43:54Bill Maher?

  Who is her position?

• 43:56Speaker 06

  Ambassador to the US from Ecuador. She's Lebanese.

• 43:59Bill Maher?

  Oh, she's from Ecuador?

• 44:00Speaker 06

  Yeah. Very, very complicated.

• 44:03Bill Maher?

  How did you become friends with her?

• 44:04Speaker 06

  In Washington. I was there to work on the horse slaughter bill to stop horse slaughter in the country.

• 44:11Bill Maher?

  Stop?

• 44:13Speaker 06

  Yes, I do want to stop the slaughter.

• 44:15Bill Maher?

  Yeah, me too.

• 44:16Speaker 06

  And that's been a 25-year shit show.

• 44:21Bill Maher?

  Well...

• 44:22Speaker 06

  I mean, it's ridiculous.

• 44:24Bill Maher?

  You, me, and Peter then are on the same page there. So let's just be friends on that one.

• 44:28Speaker 06

  Oh, no, we are friends.

• 44:29Bill Maher?

  Yeah, of course we are. Well, I'm gonna talk to Ingrid.

• 44:32Speaker 06

  I just, I'll tell you what I like. I like very pragmatic solutions.

• 44:37Bill Maher?

  Me too.

• 44:37Speaker 06

  There's a great program that my girlfriend let me be part of in the Galapagos Islands. Do you know blue bonds?

• 44:44Bill Maher?

  Blue bonds?

• 44:45Speaker 06

  Blue bonds. So there's a way...

• 44:47Bill Maher?

  Bonds, B-O-N?

• 44:48Speaker 06

  B-O-N-D-S. Financial bonds.

• 44:50Bill Maher?

  Blue bonds, yes.

• 44:52Speaker 06

  Blue bonds.

• 44:52Bill Maher?

  Sure.

• 44:52Speaker 06

  And for Ecuador to expand their marine preserve by 23 square miles.

• 45:04Speaker 06

  No, 23...

• 45:07Speaker 06

  23,000 square miles? I can't remember. Anyway, it was a huge expansion, over 50% of their marine preserve. There was, Credit Suisse set up a blue bond for investment, and it was a debt swap. So they got a billion and a half off their debt that they owed for making this marine expansion. So I like the idea of monetizing. It's too easy for us in America. We've destroyed our coral reefs and our oceans. And now we're gonna say, now you at the Galapagos, because it's an international treasure, you can't fish in it, you can't do this. We want you to not do anything to hurt your treasure.

• 45:49Speaker 06

  And it also helped start this incredible superhighway for whales and sea life.

• 45:56Bill Maher?

  And tell people why the Galapagos is so sacred to... Nature lovers, cuz it's where Darwin.

• 46:01Speaker 06

  I know.

• 46:02Bill Maher?

  You know, that's the whole thing with the Galapagos and Ecuador, which is on the west coast of South America.

• 46:08Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 46:08Bill Maher?

  North of Chile, for again, the geographically challenged, I know some of them are out there. And this is where Darwin went to study what became the theory of evolution.

• 46:21Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 46:21Bill Maher?

  So it is a sacred place to people who actually like science, actual science.

• 46:26Speaker 06

  But it also belongs to Ecuador, and we expect them not to put hotels and resorts.

• 46:31Bill Maher?

  Right, I see what you're saying.

• 46:33Speaker 06

  So we gotta give them something.

• 46:35Bill Maher?

  Yeah, I think you could do both. I think that's one where you could do both.

• 46:38Speaker 06

  But we have to, and that's what we did with Blue Bonds. They got a billion and a half off their debt.

• 46:44Bill Maher?

  Right, I saw, good.

• 46:45Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's a great program, and now it's going all over.

• 46:47Bill Maher?

  Because a hotel, you know, do it right, and just don't kill the turtles when you build it, you know? But there's no reason why you would kill the turtles. You could build a hotel without killing the turtles. I feel like that is the essence of pragmatism in politics, right?

• 47:04Speaker 06

  Yes, but this might be the one place left where they won't ever have a hotel.

• 47:08Bill Maher?

  And that would be fine with me, too.

• 47:09Speaker 06

  Yeah, and we might wanna keep one, but we have to give them something.

• 47:15Bill Maher?

  Or build it 20 miles away.

• 47:18Speaker 06

  Yeah, they have.

• 47:19Bill Maher?

  So you have to take a fucking shuttle bus there.

• 47:21Speaker 06

  Yeah, they're 600 miles offshore.

• 47:23Bill Maher?

  I once went to the Hearst Castle. I thought you could drive up, right up to it. No, you're getting a fucking bus, and it's like another 45 minutes. Did you ever go to the Hearst Castle?

• 47:33Speaker 06

  I swam in the pool.

• 47:35Bill Maher?

  Oh, for fucks.

• 47:36Speaker 06

  I know.

• 47:36Bill Maher?

  Oh, you're one of those people.

• 47:37Speaker 06

  It's good to be me. I swear to God, every, in my life, still, I haven't made a major motion picture in a hundred years, still doors open for me.

• 47:46Bill Maher?

  You made the right choice there, by the way. You are not missing anything.

• 47:50Speaker 06

  What do you mean?

• 47:51Bill Maher?

  Not making movies.

• 47:53Speaker 06

  No, I don't miss it.

• 47:54Bill Maher?

  You're not missing anything.

• 47:55Speaker 06

  I don't miss it.

• 47:55Bill Maher?

  You really aren't. It's, I was an actor in the 80s when I was a sort of comic, but you know.

• 48:01Speaker 06

  Yeah, I saw your poster.

• 48:03Bill Maher?

  Comics become actors. Well, we think that's, it was never supposed to be my path, but you know, you're young, and it's fun, and you know, you do some silly movies, and, but it sucks. I mean, it's just too many hours. It's just, it's just, it's just, when you're doing a movie, all you do is the movie. It just totally takes over your life, right?

• 48:26Speaker 06

  Yes, and you sit around all day.

• 48:28Bill Maher?

  You sit around.

• 48:29Speaker 06

  And it's such a.

• 48:30Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 48:31Speaker 06

  It's such a mystery when it's going to work.

• 48:36Bill Maher?

  A complete mystery, yes.

• 48:39Speaker 06

  I don't care how much talent you have put in above the line. It is an absolute.

• 48:45Bill Maher?

  There's so many things.

• 48:46Speaker 06

  Roll of the dice.

• 48:47Bill Maher?

  Totally. There's so many things that can fuck up a movie. Editing.

• 48:53Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm.

• 48:54Bill Maher?

  You know, or you can get on the set and the actors don't like each other. Or one wants to do.

• 48:59Speaker 06

  That happens a lot.

• 49:00Bill Maher?

  One wants to do fifty takes and one wants to do one.

• 49:03Speaker 06

  I know.

• 49:03Bill Maher?

  What do you do then?

• 49:05Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 49:05Bill Maher?

  You know, what do you do when the chimp wants another take in Tarzan?

• 49:10Speaker 06

  Oh, my God. Yes, no, it's very complicated. And, you know, my husband, John Corbett, is a, I think, a great actor and comedic actor.

• 49:19Bill Maher?

  I love him.

• 49:20Speaker 06

  And.

• 49:20Bill Maher?

  I love him in everything he does.

• 49:22Speaker 06

  Everything he does.

• 49:24Bill Maher?

  I've never seen him like as the, oh, you know what? He was, I think, the lead in that movie with the cop movie with Keanu Reeves.

• 49:34Speaker 06

  He was in that, yeah.

• 49:35Bill Maher?

  So great.

• 49:36Speaker 06

  Streakings.

• 49:36Bill Maher?

  Oh, my God, is that a great movie?

• 49:38Speaker 06

  He loved doing that.

• 49:40Bill Maher?

  He's terrific in that. No, I mean, I've seen him in a million things. He seems like another one of those guys who you, you just like because, again, it doesn't look like it's that important. Like he's.

• 49:50Speaker 06

  Oh, there you go. That's interesting.

• 49:52Bill Maher?

  There's not this like super intensity that's like, okay, just, you know, this, I'm just here for entertainment. I'm just, it's the end of the day and I want to watch something entertaining that grabs me and like, let's, let's, let's not pretend that this is curing cancer, you know?

• 50:07Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 50:07Bill Maher?

  That's a big disease out here.

• 50:09Speaker 06

  There's something great and that I respect so much, having been in the business, of a really good working actor.

• 50:19Speaker 06

  Having been only a movie star for kind of no reason.

• 50:27Speaker 06

  And the pressures are so different as against having a life, showing up, doing great work, making everybody happy, going home and not it being all consuming to you. And that's what he is.

• 50:41Bill Maher?

  That's awesome. You probably wouldn't get along if he wasn't.

• 50:46Speaker 06

  No, and I think I think he could normally never be with someone who's an actress because of the competition, the why are you still on the set? You're gonna be gone for eight weeks.

• 50:59Bill Maher?

  That's why I s-

• 50:59Speaker 06

  I get it all.

• 51:00Bill Maher?

  When I was young and like, you know, dating as much as I could, when I first moved out here, late twenties, thirties, I early on stopped going out with actresses for that very reason. Like you'd have a date and they'd cancel it because they got an audition the next day. It was like they weren't lying. They weren't trying to get out of it. It's not that they were blowing me off. They just really had an audition and that was what's important to them.

• 51:26Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 51:26Bill Maher?

  And I was great, but then I was like, no. And they're and they're a little crazy.

• 51:34Speaker 06

  They are crazy.

• 51:34Bill Maher?

  You know, I mean, they're there's they're high strung. I mean, there's a reason why actors like to stay in a state of emotional turmoil, which is not great for your real life as a you, as a human being. But it's great when you're on the set. Because you have you have all this ugh that's stirring around in your gut, right?

• 52:00Speaker 06

  Yeah, you gotta be firing emotionally on anything.

• 52:04Bill Maher?

  So even though the scene is about how, you know, you had sex with the monkey, you know, when you were a child, you know, it doesn't, not something you really did, but you can channel into, because that's what acting class teachers do. No, it's like, and you use that and, you know, I mean, I remember, was I still acting when my, you know, when my, yes, my father died. And I remember, it's kind of selfish, but you know, how can you help the thoughts that go into your mind? I remember thinking like right after he died, oh, this would be a good time to have an audition. For a really serious part.

• 52:46Bill Maher?

  Because I could cry like so, I mean, I've it's all I can do to stop crying.

• 52:53Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 52:54Bill Maher?

  For the, you know, the few weeks after he died and then my mother, the same thing.

• 52:58Speaker 06

  Did you?

• 52:59Bill Maher?

  Well, it's funny, like, I remember for both of them, it was like, and I think it speaks to the fact that I was fortunate and had great parents and not anything too unresolved. That I was, you know, I very choked up at the funeral. You know, I was supposed to speak, I did speak, but it was very hard to talk with the, you know, the lump in your throat. So, good, that's how it should be. And then there was like a month after that when I was home and I'd just be doing whatever I have to do, I had to go back to work and I'm reading or writing or whatever it is. And like suddenly I would just like

• 53:39Bill Maher?

  and I remember thinking, I'm so glad I live alone. Cause I'd be so embarrassed if someone was here and they just saw me suddenly start. And I'd do that for like a few minutes and go back to work. And that lasted for about a month and then I was done. Not that I don't, you know, love them, but like it, that's the course of nature.

• 53:59Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 53:59Bill Maher?

  They were never

• 54:00Speaker 06

  It is.

• 54:01Bill Maher?

  They were never supposed to be there forever. What's tragic is when someone predeceases the parent. That's tragic, but

• 54:11Speaker 06

  And that'll break you.

• 54:13Bill Maher?

  I'm, I

• 54:14Speaker 06

  You know, when someone dies too young.

• 54:16Bill Maher?

  Well, and when it's your kid.

• 54:17Speaker 06

  Yeah, oh, no, I can't imagine.

• 54:18Bill Maher?

  Because you're supposed to die before.

• 54:20Speaker 06

  I don't know how people go on sometimes.

• 54:22Bill Maher?

  Right.

• 54:22Speaker 06

  Some of the circumstances.

• 54:24Bill Maher?

  Not something we'll have to face. Another good reason

• 54:28Speaker 06

  It's my doggies.

• 54:30Bill Maher?

  Another good reason for us doing what we're doing, man. And we're helping the planet.

• 54:35Speaker 06

  You know what, another thing I thought of when I was thinking about having a kid. You'll get this, but other people don't. I thought, now, I'm thinking about all these different, you know, making a list in my mind about pros, cons, having a kid. I think I spend more time when I decide to have a dog, a new dog, than most people do when they have a kid.

• 55:03Bill Maher?

  Me too. And I'm at that place now.

• 55:05Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 55:06Bill Maher?

  My dog, I've always had two. One died in August.

• 55:11Speaker 06

  Oh, no.

• 55:12Bill Maher?

  Porchico had gotten to that point where he's just, he couldn't breathe.

• 55:17Bill Maher?

  So I had to bring in the needle. And because dogs just don't die. Because in nature, they'd be dead years before. Once they lose a step, you're dead in nature.

• 55:25Speaker 06

  The other dogs will kill them, too.

• 55:27Bill Maher?

  Right, anything will kill them. But that is, life is partly grief. And we all know that. And it's what I started to say to you when I sat down here. The fact that I'm 70, and I'm here with you today, and I feel fine. You know, we don't take that for granted at our age. The way we did when we were young. I never even thought about it.

• 55:51Speaker 06

  No.

• 55:51Bill Maher?

  And when I got sick, meaning colds, flu, which I got way more when I was younger.

• 55:57Speaker 06

  Yeah, me too.

• 55:58Bill Maher?

  Because we were stupid and we lived worse. We, at least I did. I drank, I didn't eat the right food, didn't get sleep.

• 56:06Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 56:06Bill Maher?

  All that shit. But when I got sick, it never entered my mind, oh, this could turn into something bad. Now, if I get a hangnail, I'm like, is that the first sign of Parkinson's disease?

• 56:20Speaker 06

  And we go to the doctor every year for our blood tests and our checkups.

• 56:24Bill Maher?

  Well.

• 56:24Speaker 06

  You don't?

• 56:26Bill Maher?

  Are you kidding? I used to have one doctor name in my, you know, at the time, Rolodex, probably. Now I have like 100, you know, like, well, I mean, that's part of it because doctors are big fans of mine. And like, whenever one comes up to me and it's like, oh, I'm the...

• 56:45Speaker 06

  I'm the best at this.

• 56:46Bill Maher?

  Yeah, I'm like, you are my new best friend. You know what? You.

• 56:50Speaker 06

  I know.

• 56:51Bill Maher?

  I don't, I don't say this to every motherfucker who comes up to me, but you, my friend, are in my phone now.

• 56:56Speaker 06

  I know.

• 56:57Bill Maher?

  And it's great. Who doesn't want a fan working on you?

• 57:02Speaker 06

  Yeah, you don't want to be a number or just a name on a file.

• 57:07Bill Maher?

  I remember when Reagan got shot, which would be almost the same, maybe the year after Ten came out and his big quip, which is

• 57:15Speaker 06

  Oh, it's great.

• 57:16Bill Maher?

  He was funny, you know, and he said something about to Nancy like, "Make sure the doctor's a Republican."

• 57:23Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 57:23Bill Maher?

  You know.

• 57:24Speaker 06

  It was so good.

• 57:24Bill Maher?

  It's so good. And

• 57:27Speaker 06

  "Honey, I didn't duck" or something too.

• 57:28Bill Maher?

  Yes. "Honey, I forgot to duck."

• 57:31Speaker 06

  Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's the first time I knew that it was him and not his writers and being prepped. I just wasn't sure until then.

• 57:40Bill Maher?

  Well, Gore Vidal once said, "The biggest myth about Ronald Reagan was that he wasn't a good actor." Because they made fun of him. He was not a successful actor. He had a little run. But, you know, he also made the right choice. I thought he got out when the getting out was good.

• 58:00Speaker 06

  Yes, yes.

• 58:01Bill Maher?

  You know, there are a precious few, even less with women, who can endure into their 50s and 60s.

• 58:09Speaker 06

  Right.

• 58:10Bill Maher?

  And then you have to just be iconic to be working in your 70s and 80s. We're talking about Robert De Niro, Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner. Yes, if you are so big, you are iconic, Mel Gibson, you can work, but you're playing bad grandpa.

• 58:27Speaker 06

  And there are only a handful of them anyway. Not a lot.

• 58:31Bill Maher?

  Right, Michael Douglas.

• 58:32Speaker 06

  And with Ronald Reagan, he was in the studio system. You didn't choose your parts.

• 58:39Bill Maher?

  We take our good fortune really for granted. I mean, say we, I mean, as a society, as people, especially as kids today who I don't think are well-educated. I don't think they realize how recently in history, how much harder life was.

• 58:53Speaker 06

  Oof.

• 58:54Bill Maher?

  You know, it was really tooth and claw, especially for a woman. I mean, there was no women's rights at all, and even in the West.

• 59:02Speaker 06

  No, my mom had a tough time.

• 59:05Bill Maher?

  What was her situation?

• 59:06Speaker 06

  Well, born in the Depression.

• 59:08Bill Maher?

  In the Depression?

• 59:09Speaker 06

  And...

• 59:09Bill Maher?

  Where?

• 59:10Speaker 06

  In southern Illinois. And to a single mother.

• 59:14Bill Maher?

  Oh.

• 59:16Speaker 06

  And so, life was tough.

• 59:18Bill Maher?

  A single mother.

• 59:19Speaker 06

  But she worked really hard, my mom. And her mom worked her whole life.

• 59:23Bill Maher?

  My grandmother was a single mother?

• 59:25Speaker 06

  That's, it was rare.

• 59:26Bill Maher?

  In the twenties, and she told me how rare it was. She told me when she, she drove, she had to, she had to, she, my mother was really raised by the grandparents in New York, because my grandmother had to be on Long Island, that's where her job was. And she said she, when she was driving a car in the twenties, men would yell at her from other cars.

• 59:50Speaker 06

  For what?

• 59:51Bill Maher?

  Like, you shouldn't be driving.

• 59:52Speaker 06

  Oh, no.

• 59:55Speaker 06

  Really?

• 59:56Bill Maher?

  Right, exactly.

• 59:56Speaker 06

  I didn't know they couldn't drive, like...

• 59:58Bill Maher?

  Well, the, well, driving was fairly new.

• 1:00:01Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:00:01Bill Maher?

  And the idea, well, women only got the vote in nineteen twenty.

• 1:00:04Speaker 06

  That's right.

• 1:00:05Bill Maher?

  So, we're talking about...

• 1:00:06Speaker 06

  And they couldn't get a credit card till, what, sixty, seventies?

• 1:00:10Bill Maher?

  Really?

• 1:00:11Speaker 06

  On their own?

• 1:00:12Bill Maher?

  Women?

• 1:00:12Speaker 06

  Without a man signing their credit card?

• 1:00:15Bill Maher?

  I never heard that.

• 1:00:16Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:00:16Bill Maher?

  Wait, come on.

• 1:00:18Speaker 06

  I think it's sixties, I really do.

• 1:00:21Bill Maher?

  Women couldn't get a credit card on their own?

• 1:00:22Speaker 06

  I believe, I believe.

• 1:00:24Bill Maher?

  What about that girl? I bet you she could. What about Mary Tyler Moore?

• 1:00:29Speaker 06

  She must have had Ed Asner signing her credit card.

• 1:00:32Bill Maher?

  That's Mary, that's Mary Tyler Moore. Marlo Thomas is Danny Thomas, and you're right, I bet you Marlo Thomas couldn't get a credit card when she was eighteen. She needed Danny Thomas.

• 1:00:42Speaker 06

  Probably.

• 1:00:42Bill Maher?

  That's, well, just to the point, that, you know, modernity is really modern. It's really new. It really is. I mean, just a hot shower was a rarity a hundred years ago, so...

• 1:00:58Speaker 06

  Yeah, I read that stuff all the time.

• 1:00:59Bill Maher?

  You know...

• 1:01:00Speaker 06

  But, but I, at the same time, I don't have a lot of faith in people.

• 1:01:05Bill Maher?

  Me neither.

• 1:01:05Speaker 06

  But we are getting better.

• 1:01:08Bill Maher?

  I'm saying.

• 1:01:08Speaker 06

  Life for all of us is better.

• 1:01:11Bill Maher?

  And you know who did that? The pragmatists. The people, the centrists, the plotters, the people, the policy wonks. Hillary Clinton is one of these type of people. The people who just, they're really not that far on either extreme. They just wanna make a situation better. They're wonky about it, which you have to be. They're not the show ponies on either extreme. They're not on Twitter, they don't care about that. There was a congressman, um, who was always the best congressman. Uh, he was out here, Waxman. He, he did so much to, uh, advance like practical social agenda issues. We once asked him on the show, he was like, no, I'm busy. I was like, I fucking love this guy.

• 1:01:56Bill Maher?

  I fucking, everybody else is like, run thirsty to the microphone.

• 1:02:02Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:02:02Bill Maher?

  Oh, really? You're gonna point a camera at me?

• 1:02:05Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:02:05Bill Maher?

  I'm there. And this guy was like, no.

• 1:02:08Speaker 06

  You can see them perform, bad actors.

• 1:02:10Bill Maher?

  I'm a congressman, I have a job, I'm gonna do that. Thank you for the offer, but.

• 1:02:16Speaker 06

  But you know, in your, your argument, you're leaving out capitalism.

• 1:02:19Bill Maher?

  I love it.

• 1:02:20Speaker 06

  I mean, that's brought us out of poverty more than a policy.

• 1:02:25Bill Maher?

  More than anything else. I'm always trying to lecture the children on this. And I understand why they're frustrated with the economy. It does, it is a sucky kind of economy, especially in an expensive city like this. How the fuck could you live? When I moved here in 1983, my, uh, from New York, where my rent was, um, 350, I think it went up to 375 dollars. Now, of course, this is 1983.

• 1:02:51Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:02:53Bill Maher?

  You were in Tarzan, I was on Westmount in West Hollywood. Okay, you were doing better than me. All right, we don't have to dwell on that. But, um, you know, you could, you could walk the streets of West Hollywood and just look at the, every other house had a sign, rent for rent, you know? So there wasn't this. But he's just trying now to get an apartment. You have to like bribe the person. Because there's so many people waiting to take that apartment. And it's like a shoebox for like eight hundred a month would be the least you could.

• 1:03:30Speaker 06

  No inflation is.

• 1:03:32Bill Maher?

  I I I don't know how these people live. No wonder they're all on OnlyFans.

• 1:03:36Speaker 06

  I want to know how. How so quickly Bill Clinton. Balance the budget.

• 1:03:45Bill Maher?

  Right. Zero, I remember the big, remember you held that big sign with a zero on it? Right, well, because the.

• 1:03:52Speaker 06

  Because we need that right now. So we can start all over again and get a big inflation and then come back to zero.

• 1:03:59Bill Maher?

  I mean, at some point, it's gonna, this balloon has got to pop. It's thirty nine trillion. Do you know that our GDP for the first time now? I think since World War Two or maybe ever. But our debt is higher than the GDP. We we owe more than we make as a country.

• 1:04:20Bill Maher?

  I mean.

• 1:04:20Speaker 06

  Yeah, and I I don't know enough about it.

• 1:04:24Speaker 06

  Economics to to understand how that's all gonna work out for us.

• 1:04:28Bill Maher?

  It's not gonna work out. But you know, Trump's view, because he's, you know, a a shyster businessman, is that. When you have a debt that big. That's the debtor's problem. I mean, the person who holds the debt. Because.

• 1:04:44Speaker 06

  The lender.

• 1:04:45Bill Maher?

  Yeah, the lender.

• 1:04:46Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:04:47Bill Maher?

  Because what are you gonna do? We're your partner now. Oh, you want to put us in jail? Well, then you're really not gonna get your money.

• 1:04:52Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:04:52Bill Maher?

  So we're gonna pay back fifty cents on the dollar. That's, he's actually said that out loud.

• 1:04:57Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:04:59Bill Maher?

  The difference, he really does. He's like, that's how you do it.

• 1:05:02Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:05:02Bill Maher?

  And you know what? He's not wrong. It's it's not morally correct, but he's not wrong. Like, if you have the choice between getting nothing and getting fifty cents on the dollar. I mean, when when we had the crash in two thousand and eight. I had a lot of my money in Lehman Brothers. They were the first ones to go. And there was like, oh, well, now there's a line of people who were in Lehman Brothers. And, you know, depending on how much you had in or who you blew or whatever it was. We'll see how much money you get back on the dollar. It was not one hundred cents on the dollar.

• 1:05:32Speaker 06

  No.

• 1:05:33Bill Maher?

  It was whatever we're gonna fucking give you on the dollar. And you just took it.

• 1:05:37Speaker 06

  Well, that's the debt swap in Ecuador. That's what they get, yeah. You buy bad debt.

• 1:05:44Bill Maher?

  You buy bad debt. I mean, this country is just so stupid. And this state is so ridiculous. This state.

• 1:05:51Speaker 06

  Why are we here?

• 1:05:52Bill Maher?

  Because the sun.

• 1:05:53Speaker 06

  It's so beautiful.

• 1:05:54Bill Maher?

  Because of the sun.

• 1:05:56Speaker 06

  You know, where I live out in the country, it's just stunning.

• 1:05:58Bill Maher?

  It's stunning here. It's stunning everywhere. It's just stunning. It's like you, lucky from nature.

• 1:06:05Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:06:06Bill Maher?

  You know, just a freak of nature, this place. There's no other place you can name that's one hour away from the ocean, the mountains, the desert. You can be in Palm Springs, you can be in Big Bear, you can be swimming in the Pacific. You'll get a disease because it's polluted, but you could do it. I mean, it's just an amazing place. And the problem is that the sun here is like what oil is to oil-producing countries, especially third-world ones like Ecuador. It seduces you. You don't have to do anything else for the people when you have oil.

• 1:06:43Speaker 06

  What the cartels have done to these countries, to their economies, to their corruption, to their quality of life, to the kids, young men having to be in gangs. It happens so fast now. There is a machine that comes into a country, and within a few years, it's already changing. It's very sad. And I'm sorry, it's all because we want to get high here, basically. And...

• 1:07:13Bill Maher?

  And your point is?

• 1:07:14Speaker 06

  And my point is, when the buying stops, maybe this black market corruption violence will stop. I want drugs to be decriminalized.

• 1:07:26Bill Maher?

  I do. I want it to be criminalized today.

• 1:07:29Speaker 06

  Don't we learn anything in the prohibition?

• 1:07:31Bill Maher?

  On this show, I want that to happen.

• 1:07:33Speaker 06

  Prohibition created the mafia.

• 1:07:35Bill Maher?

  Of course. Oh, no.

• 1:07:37Speaker 06

  We learn nothing.

• 1:07:38Bill Maher?

  I know, but because there's money in it, honey. That's why, I mean, there's so much money in keeping it illegal. And do you think the liquor...

• 1:07:46Speaker 06

  Why is a congressman from Sacramento wanting to keep...

• 1:07:52Speaker 06

  Drugs illegal.

• 1:07:53Bill Maher?

  Because he's lobbied by the people who want to keep it illegal. Because he takes money from the liquor industry. Do you think the liquor industry wants the competition from this? If only people would understand, you can use them together and it's fantastic. You don't have to be fighting. But no, I mean, anything, I mean, why did everybody?

• 1:08:13Speaker 06

  No, this isn't making sense to me.

• 1:08:15Bill Maher?

  Why did everybody have to get a COVID shot? Even people with natural immunity. Natural immunity, which we always used to respect. But in COVID, no. Just get our product in you. And I'm not an anti-vaxxer. I'm just somebody who wants to decide which ones I want.

• 1:08:34Speaker 06

  Yeah, if they had never, I remember the buildup to that. It's coming, it's coming, it's coming. And I think if they had just left it, here it is. This vaccine. It's available to anybody who wants it. I think probably more people would have taken it. But when you tell Americans you must, that's a problem.

• 1:08:53Bill Maher?

  But even more that bugs me is the natural immunity thing. I mean, for the people who were like, we're the science people. Well, there was nothing that was more settled science. Then natural immunity is the best. So if somebody has natural immunity, if they got this, I know a lot of people who got it like they were like, oh, you know what? I got sick in like November of 2019. I bet that was COVID. Yeah, I bet it was. I bet it was. And you could test it, okay? Doesn't matter. Get our shit in you. That's when I go, okay, now the fix is in. Now you're telegraphing that you just want to get your product

• 1:09:37Bill Maher?

  in me as much as you can. And you know what? There are things that are, could come along. There's this Hanta virus now where I want your product in me. But I want to decide.

• 1:09:46Speaker 06

  You want to decide.

• 1:09:48Bill Maher?

  I want to decide when I want your product in me. I say that about sex toys also.

• 1:09:52Speaker 06

  Awesome.

• 1:09:53Bill Maher?

  I want to decide.

• 1:09:57Speaker 06

  Yes, yes, for sure.

• 1:09:59Bill Maher?

  I've never used a sex toy. I mean, I feel like if you have to use something.

• 1:10:04Speaker 06

  No judgment here.

• 1:10:06Bill Maher?

  I told you before, Bo, we gotta judge.

• 1:10:09Speaker 06

  I don't, no, no, no, no. We can judge, we can't be judgy.

• 1:10:14Bill Maher?

  No, but you've been married twice. Both seem to, I mean, you were married to John to the end, right?

• 1:10:19Speaker 06

  Yeah, till he died.

• 1:10:21Bill Maher?

  I mean, there wasn't a divorce, that was.

• 1:10:22Speaker 06

  No, it was till he died, suddenly.

• 1:10:24Bill Maher?

  Of what?

• 1:10:25Speaker 06

  Aortic dissection.

• 1:10:28Bill Maher?

  What's that?

• 1:10:29Speaker 06

  That's where your aorta, it ruptures and runs like a, like, what's his name, the other, the actor, the great?

• 1:10:38Bill Maher?

  That's what Alan Thicke died of.

• 1:10:40Speaker 06

  Did he?

• 1:10:40Bill Maher?

  Yes, he was a very good friend of mine, and he was 69 years old, and he was playing hockey with his kid, his 18-year-old, who's from the third, the third wives' club. And, I know, yeah, I think they were married, and she, and he just suddenly, and the heart just ripped apart.

• 1:11:00Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:11:00Bill Maher?

  And he, you know, in a way, if you have to go, that's not the worst way, because you're, right to the moment you die, you're living your best life. He was doing hockey, he was Canadian, doing the thing he loved with his 18-year-old kid who he loved, and then suddenly, it's, and it was like, I remember the kid telling me, they took him into the room, and they look, and it was like, this, there's nothing left. I mean, this is, we could not put this back together. And this was set in motion from the day he was born. That.

• 1:11:32Speaker 06

  Like a genetic defect or something?

• 1:11:35Bill Maher?

  That little flaw was in there from the beginning, and it was just gonna take, be a number of years, it was gonna take, and then it was gonna.

• 1:11:43Speaker 06

  It's gonna happen. Yeah, and ironically, he used to, whenever we'd see a movie or a TV show, and the guy would grab his chest and say, I think I'm having a heart attack and dropped dead. He always said, lucky son of a bitch. So it was weird that that's the way he went, as a lucky son of a bitch. I, it gave me some peace, that he went that way. He wasn't gonna get old, he didn't like it, the idea of getting old.

• 1:12:08Bill Maher?

  No one likes it.

• 1:12:09Speaker 06

  No.

• 1:12:10Bill Maher?

  But when it comes around.

• 1:12:13Speaker 06

  Fast.

• 1:12:13Bill Maher?

  I mean, fast, and also I've heard people say, "Yeah, I don't wanna be seventy-five. Yeah, when are you seventy-four?"

• 1:12:21Speaker 06

  Kidding.

• 1:12:22Bill Maher?

  I mean, if it's one thing about humans, we want more. We want more life. Especially if our lives are good.

• 1:12:29Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:12:30Bill Maher?

  Our lives are good. We're lucky.

• 1:12:32Speaker 06

  We're very lucky. I'm still riding horses. I don't know how long I will be riding horses.

• 1:12:37Bill Maher?

  Right, that's my basketball.

• 1:12:39Speaker 06

  But, yeah.

• 1:12:39Bill Maher?

  I still play basketball every day, but I don't know how long.

• 1:12:42Speaker 06

  I don't know how long it's gonna be.

• 1:12:43Bill Maher?

  But right now, it's still great.

• 1:12:44Speaker 06

  And I'm in a hurry to get all I can out of it right now.

• 1:12:48Bill Maher?

  You're in a hurry.

• 1:12:49Speaker 06

  I'm in a hurry to ride as much as I can, travel.

• 1:12:53Bill Maher?

  Travel.

• 1:12:53Speaker 06

  You know, you sit in an airport and you see, um...

• 1:12:56Bill Maher?

  I can't travel.

• 1:12:58Speaker 06

  Well, you'd probably fly private, right?

• 1:13:01Bill Maher?

  Even that I can't do.

• 1:13:02Speaker 06

  Why?

• 1:13:03Bill Maher?

  I'm just, it just...

• 1:13:06Bill Maher?

  I just can't.

• 1:13:07Speaker 06

  What do you mean, you can't?

• 1:13:08Bill Maher?

  It's just too mu... I did it for, I was on the road for my whole life.

• 1:13:11Speaker 06

  Oh, okay.

• 1:13:12Bill Maher?

  As a stand-up comic, every other weekend, I was out, you know, dragging myself out of bed after a full week working on my show, and I loved it, and I went into Cincinnati or Kansas City or wherever, and it was, but I just, you know, you just know when it's over. And I just, I...

• 1:13:30Speaker 06

  I understand.

• 1:13:31Bill Maher?

  I like waking up every day here in California with all its flaws, because, as I was saying, the sun's like the oil.

• 1:13:39Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:13:40Bill Maher?

  It seduces you into accepting almost anything.

• 1:13:43Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:13:44Bill Maher?

  And it does. I mean, I lived in New York. I grew up on the East Coast. The idea that there are almost no bad weather days here, I mean, there's rain, which we need, and I actually like, but it's pretty much confined to one season. It's, no matter how hot it gets in the day, it's usually cool at night, which is awesome. It's opposed to the muggy East Coast.

• 1:14:08Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:14:09Bill Maher?

  And sun is just part of what we need to survive. It gets demonized, the sun, like cholesterol, you know, they love to demonize these things. It's like, no, you need cholesterol. You need sun. You need some sun to convert vitamin D, and it feels good. So don't overdo it. But, you know, I remember living on the East Coast, gray days.

• 1:14:33Speaker 06

  I was born here. I'm California, Southern California.

• 1:14:37Bill Maher?

  Oh, you are?

• 1:14:37Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:14:38Bill Maher?

  You were born in?

• 1:14:39Speaker 06

  A surfer, sailor.

• 1:14:41Bill Maher?

  You're a surfer and a sailor?

• 1:14:44Speaker 06

  I was, I don't do it anymore.

• 1:14:46Bill Maher?

  A sailor?

• 1:14:47Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm. My father worked for a sailboat company.

• 1:14:50Bill Maher?

  Oh, and a surfer.

• 1:14:52Speaker 06

  No, I was a lucky kid, a very lucky kid.

• 1:14:57Bill Maher?

  Well, I'm a lucky guy to just have gotten to talk to you. I could not tell you how thrilled I was when I heard. I said, "Really, she's gonna do this show?" 'Cause I never see you do anything.

• 1:15:09Speaker 06

  No, well, I'm not, I'm never promoting anything anymore.

• 1:15:12Bill Maher?

  And you don't need to.

• 1:15:13Speaker 06

  No, I'm loving my life.

• 1:15:15Bill Maher?

  I know.

• 1:15:16Speaker 06

  I don't need to go back to work.

• 1:15:18Bill Maher?

  That's the coolest thing in the world you can be.

• 1:15:20Speaker 06

  It's, it's, it's very strange. People don't understand it because it's something that, that so many people anyway, you know, that expression, they would kill to do it.

• 1:15:33Speaker 06

  To be famous, to be in movies. And not for some of us.

• 1:15:38Bill Maher?

  I know one person in the world who has no hopes and dreams, no ambitions, and is the happiest person I know.

• 1:15:45Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:15:45Bill Maher?

  Because everybody else is sort of tied to this, "Well, if I just make my hopes and dreams come true." And very often, they don't, or they're not as you dreamed them. It's very rare that your hope and dream comes. And if you're just like, "No, I'm just gonna skip that part and go right to being happy."

• 1:16:04Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:16:05Bill Maher?

  Skip the thing that's going to so-and-so, make me happy.

• 1:16:08Speaker 06

  I love retirement.

• 1:16:09Bill Maher?

  And go right, me too.

• 1:16:10Speaker 06

  I'm so happy in retirement. Who was it? It was on your show, I think, Galloway.

• 1:16:16Bill Maher?

  Yes, Scott Galloway.

• 1:16:17Speaker 06

  I think he was talking about

• 1:16:20Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 1:16:20Speaker 06

  the bullshit of

• 1:16:21Bill Maher?

  Of course.

• 1:16:22Speaker 06

  of do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life. No, do what you're good at. And then you'll make a good living and you can do what you want.

• 1:16:32Bill Maher?

  And you live in Santa Barbara now?

• 1:16:34Speaker 06

  North of Santa Barbara. But I've been there since 81.

• 1:16:38Bill Maher?

  Well, someday, you and I should meet in the middle with our significant others. I'll meet you halfway.

• 1:16:46Speaker 06

  Great.

• 1:16:46Bill Maher?

  What's halfway and we'll have dinner, I hope.

• 1:16:48Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:16:49Bill Maher?

  What's halfway? Like, um...

• 1:16:51Speaker 06

  Ventura, something like that. Or Santa Barbara.

• 1:16:54Bill Maher?

  Where all the great restaurants are.

• 1:16:56Speaker 06

  Santa Barbara. How about Santa Barbara? Do you ever go to Santa Barbara?

• 1:16:59Bill Maher?

  Of course. I went to Solvang.

• 1:17:01Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah, that's about...

• 1:17:01Bill Maher?

  Christmas week.

• 1:17:02Speaker 06

  That's about...

• 1:17:03Bill Maher?

  What?

• 1:17:04Speaker 06

  It's funny.

• 1:17:05Bill Maher?

  It's so funny.

• 1:17:06Speaker 06

  It's Christmasy around there, you know.

• 1:17:08Bill Maher?

  Christmasy. It's a Christmas town.

• 1:17:09Speaker 06

  I know.

• 1:17:10Bill Maher?

  It's a Solvang.

• 1:17:11Speaker 06

  It's Sunny Valley. It's the Danish capital of the United States.

• 1:17:16Bill Maher?

  Exactly.

• 1:17:17Speaker 06

  That's why the windmills.

• 1:17:18Bill Maher?

  Yes.

• 1:17:18Speaker 06

  Mini Tivoli Garden.

• 1:17:20Bill Maher?

  Sweetheart, I was just there.

• 1:17:21Speaker 06

  I'm eight miles from there.

• 1:17:22Bill Maher?

  Really?

• 1:17:23Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 1:17:23Bill Maher?

  Okay.

• 1:17:24Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 1:17:24Bill Maher?

  Well, we went there. It was the funnest day. Because they take their Christmas very seriously there.

• 1:17:29Speaker 06

  Yes, they do.

• 1:17:30Bill Maher?

  And so, like, this is a week before Christmas.

• 1:17:33Speaker 06

  Oh, it's fun.

• 1:17:34Bill Maher?

  Of course.

• 1:17:35Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's so cute.

• 1:17:36Bill Maher?

  Yes, it was so cute. And you know what they do? They go to the visitor's center and you have to search for gnomes. This is like one of the Danish...

• 1:17:44Speaker 06

  Is that a game?

• 1:17:45Bill Maher?

  Yes. They're hidden all over town. And you get a thing with clues. And then you gotta like...

• 1:17:50Speaker 06

  You didn't do it.

• 1:17:51Bill Maher?

  Of course I did. Of course I did. It was awesome. And, uh, we were...

• 1:17:57Speaker 06

  Are you kidding?

• 1:17:57Bill Maher?

  We were very high.

• 1:17:58Speaker 06

  Yeah, I was going to say.

• 1:18:00Bill Maher?

  So, I'm not going to say... I'm not going to say we found a lot of the gnomes. But I remember going, I was very high. I go up to the visitor's center desk and the lady's there, she says, "Merry Christmas." I'm like, "Great." I said, "We want to talk to Santa Claus." She said, "He's not here." I said, "What? This is Solvang, a week before Christmas." "Are you fucking kidding me? I want to see him and I want to see him down there." "Sir."

• 1:18:22Bill Maher?

  They're like, "We don't really get a lot of trouble here Christmas week." "Are you going to be a problem?" I was like, "No." "Okay, give me the map. We'll search for the gnomes." And you get the clues and we'll search for the gnomes.

• 1:18:32Speaker 06

  That's hilarious. I've never heard of that.

• 1:18:34Bill Maher?

  Do it with you this year, if you want.

• 1:18:35Speaker 06

  I'm gonna, I'm gonna check into that.

• 1:18:37Bill Maher?

  Tell John that we're all gonna go.

• 1:18:38Speaker 06

  We're all gonna go gnome hunting.

• 1:18:40Bill Maher?

  Gnome hunting. All right. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

• 1:18:45Speaker 06

  Oh, it was fun.

• 1:18:46Bill Maher?

  Oh, good.

• 1:18:50Bill Maher?

  I'm glad to think so. Okay, I'm glad I got to know you.

• 1:18:53Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:18:54Bill Maher?

  That's what I love.

• 1:18:54Speaker 06

  That wasn't scary at all.

• 1:18:56Bill Maher?

  No. And it certainly went better than the pre-interview. Can you mention the pre-interview for that?
