I love how Bill reads the ads like he's in a hostage situation.

Howie's childhood experience is incredible. Thank you for getting him to tell that story. I understand Howie better now.

i've known about howie and his condition for so long and am just now hearing this story about the larvae under his skin as a child. totally makes sense why he's traumatized.

That carrot joke came to Howie so quickly. His timing is impressive.

That story is heartbreaking and makes me love Howie even more.

Wow, Howie and Bill are hilarious together. Fantastic conversation, a lot of fun!

I usually can't watch anything even close to an hour but Bill's Club Random is on of the very few exceptions. It was great to see Howie on here too. Thanks Bill!

Bill has done more conscientious listening in this segment with Howie than any other Club I’ve watched thus far.

Omg. I love Howie Mandel. I can believe he didn't have friends. He's such a genuine person.

Extremely Brave to have this amazing conversation about mental illness. Thank You Bill!

Bill's Marlon Brandon impression is fucking spot on

The moment where Howie goes "and he's dead" referring to Sagat was so hilarious I watched it like 5 times

Bill is blowing up, another epic podcast!

I was on AGT when Howle was a judge, and I really couldn’t wait to tell him what a fan I was, him and Howard. As a little girl, Bobby’s World was a huge part of my world. He came off as a very kind person; not a bubble popper at all. I wish him the best.

OMG...I have not laughed so hard in a long time!! Howie is so funny and so quick with his jokes - he is hilarious!! You guys just made my day with the laughter!! I love this podcast!!

This was one of the funniest & most honest interviews (conversation) on club random.

Bill has created a show that will surpass anything he's ever did.

Great episode. I also adore Bill's sarcasm during reading the commercials

14:07 Howie WAS hypnotized on AMERICA’S GOT TALENT and was shaking hands with the other judges freely because he was made to believe they were all wearing plastic gloves. Watching it made me think the hypnotist, Chris Jones, was acting unethically.

Thank You Howie!! I have agoraphobia stemming from a traumatic event (tied up and almost murdered) and my mother has OCD I think from her Dad dying young & her mother was narcissistic & cruel. I appreciate Howie being open about irrational fear. Because even if it did stem from an event anyone would be afraid of, it comes to a point of knowing you are fuct - and realizing, now what do I do? And those answers are few & far in these young days of psychology- but we all can and MUST have hope.

When Howie said there is no joke that is not rooted in darkness, my mind went to the joke they said earlier about keeping a carrot up his ass because hindsight is 20/20. Wait. That is the epitome of a joke rooted in darkness.

The trampoline discussion was epic

I've been a Bill Maher fan for years and years. Yet, I was skeptical when he announced a podcast. But wow, the guests he has are all great. And it's so funny to see Bill do commercials non-ironically.

I had OCD that plagued me from my teenage years. I scored extremely high on the Yale Brown test. I had bad compulsions that crippled me too but the obsessions were the most awful thing ever. I woke up with them and went to bed with them. It had me completely shut down and unable to work or function for over 20 years. I couldn't be around people, I couldn't read books or watch tv or listen to the radio. It all triggered the most awful obsessions. I was shut down and daily tortured. Finally my physical symptoms got so bad I got to an immunologist. I had figured out that wheat made me feel physically sick and I was telling him that and he told me that OCD can be caused by wheat. I stopped using wheat and my OCD is gone. Not reduced but completely gone. If I get wheat in me then it rages back and I'm in it for 3 to 5 days depending on the severity of the exposure. Unfortunately I don't have celiacs. Mine is more like a peanut contact allergen so if I touch it or smell it or eat wheat I get sick. It's not just wheat. Anything with gluten and gliaden like barley. There are a number of things. Here's a link to the first medical case study of a child getting near perfect relief from OCD with allergen exposure cessation. I hope it helps somebody. This disease is torture and nobody should have to live like that. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4756770/

I have to say, this was one of the best "Club Random" episodes Bill has ever had so far. I really enjoyed this podcast/UKposts Video!!! So appreciate Howie Mandel and what he has gone thru in his life, and still one of the funniest comedians. Bill and Howie make a great comedy team here too!!! Thank you both for all you do!!!

I love listening to comics talk about the business of being funny. Howie and Bill are great together. ❤️❤️❤️

"Forget it, I am not going to Hawaii, jumping on the trampoline clearing my lymphatic system.... with a carrot in my ass improving my "hind sight"! My fav episode so far!

Howie you're my favorite person 💛 I feel I get you. You're not alone

Another great conversation with Bill. I feel like I'm in the room with them. I'm 59 and now I have to check out one of those little small trampolines, as I had no idea about the lymph system benefit that I never thought of I had to worry about "training".

So this is quickly becoming one of the best podcasts currently running. Keep it up Mr Maher

We need a sequel to this one. Bring on Pt 2. If you want to see a great Howie Mandel movie from the 80s that the comedy still holds up today, watch A Fine Mess. Howie and Ted Danson. It's hilarious. It's even got the guy that played Paulie in Goodfellas.

Wow these guys are great together! Also appreciate Howie telling the origin story of his disease, that was very insightful.

Man, this had everything. I was looking forward to this one because I didn't know what kind of relationship Maher had with Mandel, and boy did it exceed my expectations.

How can you not love Howie Mandel? His standup, while not for everyone in the year 2022, was still special. It was unique. Howie was a true original. Got to give him props for that. Back in the 80s, his comedy was universally funny to everyone. He was a standout comic, definitely a bonafide member of the top echelon of comics. His name was up there with all the top comics of the day. Just knowing his back-story is a gift. The same way we all can relate to Robin Williams’ human background, his addiction, his personal pain, it’s the same with Howie. It makes them both extra special & beloved.

Love the podcast Bill and seeing Howie kicking back is great

Bill you did a very good job listening to your guest and allowing us viewers to do so also, giving him room to talk is much appreciated. Howie you seem like a nice guy. Thank you both !

This was so profound for someone like me who has just diagnosed in her 40s with ADHD and mild OCD and other mild things to hear Howie’s story. Mind blowing and informative 🙏🏻 Thank you Bill. I was a huge fan of you as long as I can remember learning English and coming to LA (a girl who was born and raised Muslim in fucking Iran until I was 30) and even though I’ve found it that you can be arrogant and ass hole some times but I admit that knowing you was just liberating for me. You are my secret precious thing that I watch alone because no one around me in my family can understand your point of views although I became atheist since I was 22 and was still living in Iran without any help from you and other great western thinkers. I once emailed your HBO show years ago to come and see your show in person but I couldn’t come to the conclusion to exploit my love and admiration for you because it’s very personal to me.

This has become one of my favourite podcasts. Howie is a Canadian legend!

This particular episode is so good! What honesty & humor!!!

I am a fifty-nine year old man who had OCD as a child. I cried through Howie's story of being a child tied down in his underwear while having his skin burned by a dermatologist. Oh my god, I have always loved Howie Mandel. Now, I love him even more and I hope by simply thinking about him that I can bring a little comfort to him when he's suffering with the pain of this brain disorder. Howie, I love you. You are such a good man and you have succeeded so amazingly in spite of your illness.

Bill that was a great show I enjoy all of them but this one in particularly I never knew that side of Howie it was dynamic!😂

OCD is horrific. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Howie is my hero. And boy, would I love to get high with Bill.

I love these two men! Taking care of my clove plants enjoying your show 😁

Howie is so real. I loved this interaction. Funny AF!

Little Monsters and Bobby's World. Howie was a huge part of my childhood. Love the guy.

Thank You Howie for inventing the first bump!

Bill, we love you, this podcast is so fun and, indeed, random. All of the episodes so far have been full of so many small gems that I would say deserve more exploration. Most interesting has been your views on medicine and health. Would you consider having a guest with whom you can discuss these topics further? I.e. the four humors/temperaments as well as non-surgery, non-pharmaceutical approaches to maintaining personal health and longevity. Thanks again for sharing your wisdom along with the wisdom of your guests. Love you!

33:50 what about those other people, they can go pound sand. This was brilliant, thank you both Howie and Bill.

This one was my favourite so far. First I've hear of Howie Mandel. Brilliant character. I'm ADHD too.

Lol i love how howie catches bill’s antiques and aneurisms. Like sweetheart. He’s been sayin that for a minute lmao

Howie Mandel is on f***** fire!! Much props to Bill for being such a generous host! Sometimes you just gotta let the geniuses riff!!! Im buying a trampoline!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I've followed Howie most of my life. Met his parents. Really nice guy. I can tell you some crazy stories about him as a teenager. But I've never heard him open up like this.

The Club Random interior furniture needs to host Paul Reubens as a guest one day!

I gotta agree with Howie. I didn't have the fire in my belly until i started doing woodworking as a hobby in my early 40s. But how bizarre is it that Bill, Howie and Howard Stern were all born within 2 months of each other? It's like the stars were aligned.

Love this little club, Mr. Bill. Smart conversations with smart people. Great. Howie is a pleasure.

Fantastic chemistry. The back and forth between these two is infinitely entertaining.

The combination of the trampoline bit, Bill saying Scalawag and calling Howie Sweetheart had me laughing like I haven't in a long time. I'm so glad Bill made this podcast. The only thing I look forward to on Sunday now…

I get you Howie. You are the kind of person I can chat with for a long time. Aside from his anxieties, he remains positive in his own humorous ways. I wish I could just sit and chat with him someday. If Howie is performing this year in Hawaii, we would love to see him. Where can we see what shows Howie will be performing at?

Omg I got more out of this episode than most of my life put together🤣💪🏻 I hope Howie gets his trampoline👌🏻🤣 Bill you are a genius! I look forward to this every week! I believe you could help Howie. Motivate him to try different things. I grew up to both of you. Have a great night fellows😝🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Thanks Bill this podcast it was even better then I expected 😍

I love Howie's take on comedy relative to the cancel culture. He's spot on. Humor is from darkness. Comedy is not supposed to be "nice." And comedy is not the same as satire, puns or anything else. It's simply comedy.

So far, this interview was the best. I'd like to see Howie return. What a thoughtful and funny man.

I had zero idea I would enjoy a Bill Maher podcast this much

3 minutes into the podcast this is the most California conversation I have seen in a long time.

Excellent and entertaining interview, love and respect for both Bill and Howie.

In the first three minutes, Bill was able to get Howie to be quiet more than I have seen any other interviewer ever. lol The Godfather impression had me impressed, too.

Two treasures in Howie and Bill. I didn't want it to end. Bill got Howie high with secondhand smoke.

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! Finally, real conversation with real people. WELL DONE!

So far, in a series of great interviews, this one connected. You go, Bill! I love this format because so do you. And that conveys to us. Howie has to be the guest from god (or whomever). Brilliant. And thank you.

Impressive HOW GREAT this is....

That's why you need to learn about people's experiences before judging them. Imagine people being prejudiced on Howie without knowing the reason why he has OCD.

Real Time is an average of maybe 50% boring, whereas this show is zero % boring. Such pure, clever, spontaeity with all guests thus far. Howey is by far the most entertaining of your guests thus far. He made a witty comedy bit out of the entire interaction. And you went with it marvelously as the sort of the straight man. Great show!

This was the BEST episode to date. I wish I could hang out with Bill Maher for a hour.

Howie, thank you so much for your candor. Such a great conversation.

Love this one with Howie Mandel! Thank you so much for the great podcasts that you do! Carrot joke was awesome! 😂

I LOVE THIS PODCAST! Great guests+Bill! Already over 93,000 UKposts subscribers! I've loved Howie Mandell since the TV show of St.Elsewhere. Bill, PLEASE TRY TO INTERVIEW PAUL MCCARTNEY OR RINGO STARR! WHAT A GREAT INTERVIEW FOR CLUB RANDOM!

Best one yet! This was great show. Thank you.

This is the best one of the shows so far!

Love ya Bill and Howie! I relate so much the same it's Wild! IF I had that kind of trauma with sand flea's, fuck where would I be today.... When you said "I'm not a happy guy" I nearly cried a loud. If only I could have this same chance to sit and talk with you.

Loved it. I wish we had comments from you Bill after the show just on your thoughts about the guest.

Brilliant, two super bright guys chatting! Thank you!

This is only the second video I've seen of Club Random with Bill Maher. I thought the first one I watched that was with Fran Lebowitz was good, but the chemistry between Bill Maher and Howie Mandel, was excellent. I'm a big fan of Howie's. How refreshing to see him speaking openly about his mental health at more length than usual. Bill gave Howie lots of space to talk which was smart of him. Anyone that watches Bill on his tv show will know that he has a tendency of interrupting his guests. Here he simply made the effort to listen and let Howie talk. Great video.

How great to watch Howie jump on our website and to hear that Bill bounces every day for his health! You should try it, too! A bellicon mini-trampoline provides a fun cardio workout that is amazing for lymphatic circulation, which boosts your immune system.

Hey Bill. spot on Brando

Good one. Intelligent talk on a casual basis. Love Howie. Love the CR session.

OMG I had a blast with this podcast!! I just love you Bill Maher!!! Must have a part 2 podcast with Howie!!!

Absolutely the best podcast I have ever seen great conversation thank you

Great interview and lots of funny moments. Cheers to you both.

Howie all the love in the world and thanks for the laughter you've brought to this world of ours. Cheers.

Bill and Howie need their OWN podcast, I could listen for hours! Both incredible individuals

I've been using a mini tramp for at least 12 yrs., Howie, Bill is spot on. The lymph system relies on gravity unlike the circulatory system which benefits from resistance training. Get yourself a rebounder & spend 20' a day on it.

Top 5 show right now. Gotta watch this every time.

Excellent chemistry and an interesting conversation

glad I'm watching this, thanks Bill, I hope you continue with these, Howie's story is incredible.

Club Random is the best podcast out there

For some reason Howie is not well known here in Australia but he is brilliant really enjoyed this

I've had OCD and BDD for years. It is torture.

The lighting is awesome on this video. Thank you. Howie is so wonderful because he is so authentic about himself,and, so down to earth. Thank you both.

Thank you, I enjoy watching yall

For Howie....He needs to look into psilocybin with a guided therapist. They are making huge strides with OCD, depression, addiction, fear, PTS and all kinds of disorders where people are stuck. You only have to do it once. He's a perfect candidate for it. Have him research it. They are in Phase 3 trials at major research hospitals. It's revolutionary.
