- Dr. Daniel Amen | Club Random with Bill Maher
visão geral
Dr. Daniel Amen joins Bill Maher to talk brains—what they reveal about us, how badly we may be treating them, and why psychiatry is the only medical field that rarely looks at the organ it’s treating.
Amen shares what he learned from treating Muhammad Ali and hundreds of NFL players, why he believes damaged brains can get better, and the everyday things we do that can either strengthen or shrink them. He and Bill go back and forth on marijuana, alcohol, meditation, Alzheimer’s, and the eternal question: how healthy do you really want to be if it means giving up everything fun?
They also get into what’s happening to young people, from social media and pornography to anxiety and depression—and why learning not to believe every thought that pops into your head might be one of the most useful skills nobody teaches us.
And somehow, by the end of it, Bill agrees to let Amen scan his brain. Now the question is: does he actually want to know what’s in there?

ABOUT CLUB RANDOM
In Club Random, Bill Maher unleashes his comedic wit on an unpredictable lineup – from Bill Burr and Jerry Seinfeld to Quentin Tarantino and Neil deGrasse Tyson – digging into everything but politics. It’s Maher in his familiar element: one-on-one vibes, unfiltered laughs, and the kind of freewheeling banter only he can deliver.
ABOUT BILL MAHER
Bill Maher was the host of “Politically Incorrect” (Comedy Central, ABC) from 1993-2002, and for the last 23 years on HBO’s “Real Time,” Maher’s combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 41 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 six 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,” “The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody But Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass", and most recently "What This Comedian Said Will Shock You".
