Two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey drops by Club Random for a conversation that goes exactly where you'd expect—and plenty of places you wouldn't. Bill doesn't let him dodge the tough questions, pressing Spacey on the allegations that derailed his career, the court cases that cleared him, and what it's like trying to rebuild a life from what he calls "show business jail." The two cover Hollywood's double standards, Jack Lemmon's mentorship, therapy, the Playboy Mansion, and Netflix shelving one of Spacey's completed films. Spacey also unveils what feels like an entire repertory company of impressions—Johnny Carson, Jack Lemmon, and more—as the conversation veers into Roman history, classic cinema, Dick Van Dyke's workout routine at 100, and why he thinks his best work may still be ahead of him.

World-renowned astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson (Author of Take Me To Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter) returns to the Mayim Bialik's Breakdown studio for one of his most mind-bending conversations yet, covering UFOs, aliens, consciousness, near death experiences, secret government speculation, DMT entities, Antarctica's hidden lakes, and what humanity may discover beyond Earth.Neil reveals why he REFUSED an invitation to inspect an alleged alien body and explains what most people get wrong about extraterrestrials. He shares his biggest problems with how aliens are portrayed in Hollywood, why alien life may not need to be silicon-based, and whether stories about reverse-engineered UFO technology (including theories involving the Wright Brothers) hold any scientific weight.He also addresses the mysterious deaths and disappearances of U.S. scientists connected to nuclear research and aerospace programs, and whether any of it could realistically be tied to nonhuman intelligence, UAPs, or classified technology.The conversation goes even deeper into consciousness and altered states. We explore the controversial DMT laser protocol experiments and why so many experiencers report seeing the same “source code,” encountering entities, communicating with departed souls, or entering what feels like other dimensions. Neil explains the scientific evidence he would require before accepting out-of-body experiences or near death experiences as real phenomena existing outside the brain.He also reveals why he has never used drugs, why he does not believe consciousness survives bodily death, and breaks down his fascinating “3 varieties of truth” framework for understanding reality itself.Plus:- What Neil deGrasse Tyson hopes humanity's first contact with aliens would actually look like- How aliens & UFOs became mainstream cultural topics- Why he wanted to become part of the alien conversation- Whether underground lakes beneath Antarctica could serve as models for icy alien oceans elsewhere in the solar system- Future of astrobiology, extraterrestrial discovery, & human understanding of consciousnessThis is one of the deepest and most controversial discussions Neil deGrasse Tyson has ever had on aliens, UFOs, DMT, consciousness, near death experiences, and the search for life beyond Earth!Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson's latest book, Take Me To Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter: https://neildegrassetyson.com/books/2026-05-take-me-to-your-leader/Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/BialikBreakdown.comYouTube.com/mayimbialikSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bill Maher welcomes country music superstar Kenny Chesney to Club Random for a conversation that starts with sold-out stadiums and ends somewhere much deeper. Kenny reflects on his ""hillbilly rock star"" glory days, why he's never canceled a show in nearly three decades, and the bus-ride epiphany that convinced him to stop drinking before performances. He also pulls back the curtain on creating the visuals for his record-breaking Sphere residency. Kenny gushes over Religulous, while Bill tells stories about Larry Flynt's gold wheelchair and Bill Clinton's legendary charm. Then one simple question about legacy cracks the whole conversation wide open: what happens to everything you've built when you don't have kids?

Are we truly alone in the universe, and if we aren't, could humanity actually handle the truth? As public curiosity about extraterrestrial life continues to grow, every unexplained sighting fuels intense speculation about what the government might be hiding. Following President Trump's pledge for greater transparency, the Pentagon is gradually unsealing and releasing classified files on what are now officially called UAPs—Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. Recently on the FOX News Rundown, host Lisa Brady caught up with world-renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson to discuss the interest in UFOs and his new book, Take Me to Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter. The Director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York City breaks down the reality behind the Pentagon's newly released UAP data, evaluates who—or what—might be out there, and examines whether human civilization is intellectually and emotionally prepared for a real alien encounter. Tyson says Earthlings are ready for a "real-life" Disclosure Day and that the government should "just show the alien" if it has one. We often have to cut interviews short during the week due to time constraints, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on The FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our entire interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson to let you hear even more of his thoughts on aliens, artificial intelligence, and space travel.

Lisa Kudrow returns to Club Random for a second conversation with Bill Maher, and the Friends star proves once again why she's one of Hollywood's sharpest and most refreshingly un-Hollywood voices.Lisa reflects on The Comeback Season 3, playing a woman the industry keeps underestimating, her years at The Groundlings, and the acting teacher who taught her never to take rejection personally. Bill shares the most humiliating story of his sitcom career, working alongside Sam Kinison as drugs, chaos, and misplaced blame turned the set into a nightmare.The two compare disastrous early drug experiences, debate whether AI will reshape creativity or destroy it, discuss why Hollywood keeps making the same mistakes, and somehow spend ten hilarious minutes dissecting Spartacus. Oh—and did Lisa Kudrow just casually reveal that a Romy and Michele's High School Reunion sequel might actually be happening? Support our Advertisers: Get bugs out of your house with Pestie.

Alex Levy es creador de Through Conversations, un podcast donde conversa con pensadores, científicos, autores y figuras públicas sobre filosofía, ciencia, tecnología, política y cultura. Ha entrevistado a gente como Noam Chomsky, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Kevin Kelly y James Hollis. También es autor de The Time Is Now: A Guide to Honor Your Time on Earth.En este episodio converso con Alex sobre el podcast como una forma de salir del monólogo interno y encontrarnos con otros. Lo que empieza como una conversación sobre entrevistas, invitados y síndrome del impostor se convierte poco a poco en algo más profundo: la dificultad de crecer sin perder libertad, la presión de elegir una identidad, la aceleración del mundo, la inteligencia artificial, el burnout y esa sensación de que ya no tenemos una estrella norte clara. Hablamos del sacrificio, de la voz interna, de la fe y de lo difícil que es confiar antes de tener pruebas. Más que hablar de podcasting, hablamos de amistad, de pertenencia y de las partes de nosotros mismos que tal vez necesitamos soltar para seguir viviendo con más verdad. Y sí, a final de cuentas, la ansiedad que sentimos en nuestros cuerpos es una respuesta lógica a laaceleración que todos estamos experimentando.Como siempre, tus comentarios son muy valiosos para mí. Gracias por compartir y co-crear conmigo mejores preguntas. Con cariño,Victor____Más contenido en:

Bill Maher sits down with Jeff Dunham, the world's most successful ventriloquist and one of the highest-grossing comedians of all time, for a conversation that goes well beyond comedy. From their Johnny Carson debuts to decades spent on the road, the two swap stories about success, audiences, and the strange realities of show business. Jeff shares what it's like performing the same act in places as different as Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv, while Bill weighs in on modern politics, free speech, and the cultural shifts that have transformed comedy. Along the way, they get into Gen Z's aversion to capital letters, the disappearance of common sense, and why comedians with props still don't get the credit they deserve.

Today on the show: Fictional and nonfictional takes on extraterrestrial life. Steven Rowley's new novel Take Me With You is about a man whose husband is abducted by aliens.

In today's episode, Rowley speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about the novel's “willing hitchhiker.” Then, Neil deGrasse Tyson talks with NPR's Scott Simon about his new book,Take Me to Your Leader, which is a practical guide to – and exploration of – alien encounters.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedaySee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Spencer Pratt joins Bill Maher on Club Random for a conversation that's equal parts mayoral campaign launch, Los Angeles postmortem, and classic Spencer Pratt reinvention tour. Spencer explains why losing his home in the Palisades fire pushed him to consider a run for mayor, lays out his ideas for homelessness, public safety, and city government, and makes the case that he might be exactly the unconventional leader Los Angeles needs—or at least the one willing to talk about it the most. Along the way, Spencer reflects on life after The Hills, receiving death threats, protecting his family, losing a thriving crystal business during the pandemic, and finding a new sense of purpose while somehow turning nearly every conversation into a campaign stop.

Bill Maher welcomes legendary singer-songwriter Paul Anka for a conversation packed with stories that sound almost too wild to be true. From helping bring The Beatles to America before Beatlemania exploded, to partying with the Rat Pack in steam rooms full of Vegas showgirls, to learning of JFK's assassination while performing behind the Iron Curtain in communist Poland, Anka has lived a life that reads like historical fiction.But this isn't just Hollywood lore and old Vegas chaos. Bill and Paul dig into the craft of songwriting: why the simplest melodies last forever, what made Frank Sinatra both magnetic and impossible, and how Barry White could seduce a room with a single note. Anka also opens up about reinventing himself with his cult-classic Rock Swings album, surviving massive cultural shifts across generations, and why true artists never stop evolving.

Neil deGrasse Tyson (astrophysicist, “StarTalk” podcast host, and author, “Take Me to Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter”) joins Chris Cuomo for a wide-ranging conversation on why the longtime UFO skeptic is finally taking the UAP conversation seriously — and what changed. Tyson explains why the recent wave of military whistleblowers and congressional hearings pushed him to engage with the UAP debate, even as he maintains that eyewitness testimony is not evidence. He breaks down the difference between believing that life likely exists elsewhere in the universe and claiming that extraterrestrials are visiting Earth, and argues that the burden of proof remains the same as in any other scientific question. Cuomo and Tyson also explore the intersection of science, religion, and human belief, from ancient aliens and crop circles to why people are drawn to ideas they want to be true. The conversation offers a skeptical but open-minded look at UFO disclosure, government secrecy, and what first contact with alien life might actually mean.
