Tour de France was fake?
I started watching the TdF in 1994 when Indurain was on top, and I watched all Lance's tours. These guy inspired me to take up recreational cycling and I got super fit and healthy because of it. This year, I'm 64, I tried one big mountain stage in France (Alpe D'Huez). The hardest physical challenge I've ever done. It was brutal. These guys ride over two other mountains AND do the Alpe, and that's just 1 stage out of 21. I had massive respect for these guys before, but after trying a stage myself... these guys are super human and I have nothing but admiration for them.
I have admiration for you, because you achieved what you did naturally.
And I'm guessing you did it all without steroids and blood transfusion? You been ubder a rock or what?
Super-drugged. Most of them.
@@cinemar I like everyone else on the planet is aware that doping scandals go back to the '50s. But if you think all it takes to complete the TdF is drugs, you the one who's high on something. Or just plain stupid.
You should try steroids. Heard it really helps
Jan Ulrich, Armstrongs long term adversary, was struggling over the last years: depression, drugs, alcohol and family left him. Only a few people remained with him. Once Armstrong heard of him struggling, he was there too.....He visited him multipel times, organised a stay in a drug addiction center and simply looked after him.
That's who Lance Armstrong is.....
Lance is a proper Florence Nightingale
Ask Frankie Andreu and his wife who Lance Armstrong is. Ask any other victim of Armstrong who he had vilified and humiliated. .
Dozens, maybe hundreds, of former teammates, opponents and associates who received the Armstrong treatment, presumably for not going along with the program.
"He gave me the firm, hard push and a shove," Mike Anderson said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "Made my life very, very unpleasant. It was an embarrassment for me and my family to be portrayed as liars, to be called a disgruntled employee, implying there was some impropriety on my part. It just hurt. It was completely uncalled for."
100%! Particularly Greg Lemond!@@TINSTAAFL1
@@TINSTAAFL1blah blah
@@TINSTAAFL1He has apologized and even said it would be impossible to personally apologize to everyone he has affected. But there will always be people like you who won’t settle for anything less than death or exile. He’s not asking for forgiveness or asking anyone to forget. People can admit they made mistakes and you can keep a grudge. That’s your prerogative. Have a nice day.
No moral compass. I think he actually believes that he is a victim. It's great when people are determined to perform, compete, and be the best. It's not good when you have to lie and cheat to win.
"It's Not About the Bike" is a fantastic read. As Lance said I can't believe how quickly decades go as I read it in 2014 and loved it.. It's a great book.
Yeah, Lance threw me UNDER THE BUS...You?
Better than expected. Lance stumped Bill a few times. Forced Bill to THINK before talking, pushing Bill into unknown territory. Kudos.
As most narcissists do.
My big issue with Lance is how he treated the people around him , he was not a nice guy to put it mildly….
UNDER THE BUS 😊
Right. I doubt I could forgive him as a person
He fucked up and threw many under the bus but he isn't beyond forgiveness,
some people grow for the better...
He was the biggest a*****e in all of sports, to put it mildly...
Just look at most highly successful people. The reality is that's pretty much what it takes to be that successful.
When Lance grabs the ice from the bucket with his hands. Bill was not happy. Also Bill, do not ever do an infomercial. They are both excruciating and hilarious to watch
My grandpa is a great fan of cycling, he himself never used other transport than a bike (and trains). To this day he rides a bike at 89, with the small diffenence that he changed race bike to 3-wheeler, after he had fallen off a bike and broke his arm. I remember when I was a kid, there have been 2 tv at his place. One would be set to EuroSport 24/7 playing Tour de France, Tour de Pologne or Giro D'Italia. Second for the rest of family to use ;)
I am so juiced to watch this one!
Hilarious. Clever.
Listen man there is no need to...
Same. It has inspired me to hit the gym and tren extremely hard.😂
@@TheRetroManRandySavage Good call!
My gym is a bit of a trek but will bust my ball to get in there tomorrow as I need to go anyway nearby to ship out some product from the adjacent USPS branch to France.
Maher to Armstrong in relation to therapeutic hobbies he should try -"have you tried drugs?!?" Crickets (awkward silence)
To call Lance a narcissist would be an understatement of epic proportions. Winning at all costs is one thing, but burying your friends in the process, is quite another. He surprised me in this interview...he was actually likable.
All good individual sport athletes are super narcissistic. Have to be
narcissist are very likable, if it serves them.
There is a difference between narcissism & hyper-competitiveness.
Not really. He seem insincere and coy.
@notso5734 sure, you could not ride in the tour without EPO. So he doesn't need to apologize. NFL players are on HGH and test.
Super Juiced To Watch This Episode!!
What are you a fucking comedian?
@@Liara_I_Sorry He made me laugh. I'm a lifelong cycling fan and I know what's up.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😅😂😅🤣
Everyone cheated…but he went scorched earth on anyone and everyone that tried to “cross” him. Hope he has changed
To be fair, the people intentionally trying to cross him where just sore roided losers.
@@FreePalestineforever657 yeah…definitely some of them
Exactly. Lance was denying his use while stating all others were using. He did it over years
He definitely went scorched earth and tried to ruin people who wanted to expose everything. Zero respect for him
These people never change. He's a trump level fraudster!
I want to believe that every man deserves a second chance, that we should not judge, so on and so on... But something unpleasant comes over me when I see this man. He doesn't seem honest and easy to be around. Definitely desagreable.
Completely agree with Lance on the fact the prep is the worse part of a colonoscopy. 😂
Maybe - just maybe - there's a relationship between being awake for the prep, but not the actual procedure. Radical stance to be sure, more studies are needed...
I'm getting one done may 2 2024..wish me luck 😂
If I may... I joked like I was Lance.
I ran dope on a bicycle. Everyone knew I was high.
In those days...he had Sheryl and I had two testes.
Good to see these guys talking.
I started watching the Tour de France in the late '90s. I quickly became fixated on Lance and his absolute refusal to lose to anyone or anything. He's still one of the most inspiring people I've ever followed and nothing will ever change that fact. As much as I enjoy GC cycling it will never be the same as watching Lance battling Pantani & Ullrich with Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen calling the action. Thanks for the memories Lance, "seems like yesterday."
Inspiring? Cheater get some therapy.
@@michaelpaine8884lol, perhaps someday we’ll see how you bounce back from stage 3 cancer in your lymph nodes, brain, lungs, and abdomen. Oops, my bad, you obviously can’t have brain cancer without a brain.
@@michaelpaine8884your meanness is uncalled for!
@@lindagarland5223 uncalled for? I once believed every work from Lance mouth. Turns out he lied and cheated everyone. He’s despicable. He treated his firstborn wives horribly. He is a nothing person.
@lindagarland5223, what is first born wives?
My landlord in the 90's showed me his bike and the newspaper clippings of Him winning the tour de France 3 times Miguel Rodrigues; he was in his 60' when I lived in one of his houses in East Vancouver/ His bike & trophies were always on display in his suite in the house beside me. No drugs just Portuguese wine
my very loyal Dog was a Bouvier named Knuckle Buster Beautiful Dog /smartest dog I ever was happy to be with 15 years buried in the backyard... he was the runt of a litter.
What!?
Lance is a DOUCHEBAG...
Case Closed 😅
Had same cancer he had right after he was in recession. His experiences got me through treatment. Toughest thing i ever went through. Knocking on heavens door and coming back is a long hard ride. He did what everyone did. Still look to him for inspiration.
He did what everyone did? No one else was raking in tens of millions in donations in the name of cancer "awareness," while spending next to nothing on cancer research. He's was and always will be a useless sack of crap.
Despite the doping which everyone did and probably still do, I still think Lance remains one of the most incredible people in sports. What is asked of these incredible athletes who participate in probably the most gruelling and underpaid sport ever is ludicrous . No other athlete in the sport was able to bring so many people into it and promote it like he did. Maybe that’s why he was chosen to be the scapegoat for all the doping that was going on.
Lance inspired me and helped me with my recovery of testicular cancer and was a great source of motivation. My wife had given me his book to read while I was going through chemotherapy and when I learned he was coming to my home town, I went to see him and he autographed it. The tour was never the same without him. Thanks Lance!
Can’t believe that I’d rather listen to Armstrong more than Maher
I can't believe Bill cut Lance's captagon story short!
Totally surprised and enjoyed Bill showing Lance's great sense of humor. The ball jokes😂
First of all, great show, like all the rest I love your new and intimate format. Which brings me to my point. I really think you should get Willie Nelson on your show ASAP before it's too late. I'm not trying to be flippant but think you two would get on Famously.
Besides, who doesn't like Willie? From 'Crazy" to "Mothers don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys", come on!!!
I don't like doobiers
Love the podcast Bill keep them coming. Happy Christmas Bill.
Can't wait for the next DOUCHEBAG he has on....😊😊
Lance was a better guest than I expected. I suppose my bar was very low. I found him to be very with-it and salient. So many of Bills guests have been unable to make complete thoughts.
Probably because they’re stoned. LA didn’t take a hit.
Well done LA!
The rappers, Tommy Lee, Bella Thorn, Rachel Bilson... who else?
And Woody
I have lived in Texas most of my life and I have never experienced 114 degrees fahrenheit in the summer like I did this year!
Geez - the commercials are off-the-charts - I can barely get through this episode without a 5 minute ad break - I mean wtf?!? I thought Bill was just doing this podcast for fun. Doesn’t he already have enough??
This episode is an hr. 26 minutes, and a good 30 minutes are ads and commercials.
Lance talking about blackberry, Bill interjects, Lance says, "stay with me here". He watched Bill enough. ; )
This episodes screams the need for an editor. Bill wanders aimlessly on the healthcare establishment with no apparent point for a good quarter of this episode.
Lance Armstrong screwed over so many people, disrupting their livelihoods. Such a horrible human being.
I know exactly what Lance means about how the past seems like yesterday. Ive been obsessing over the same thing, too. It's scary how time flies!
It's even faster on EPO, HGH, transfusions, etcetera!!
He's a fantastic interview and thank you Bill for this episode. The comments from people thinking that they are so virtuous need to step off of the sheep train and buy a clue. This is real and it's an incredible perspective on life, competition, judgement, celebrity, success and failure.
Lance is a THROW UNDER THE BUS DOUCHEBAG...😅
I was riding in a Team Discovery jersey in my town. A kid said Look, its Neil Arnstrong! Another kid sain NO you dummy, than Lance Armstrong! The Greatest bike rider in History!
Hey let's DEFEND the Celebrity DOUCHEBAG Athelete.
It's AMERICA for God's sake..😅
Great interview. Always followed Lance since his Wprld Championship days. His point about striking his name from the Tour De France and nobody stepping up pick me because I was clean is excellent. I agree, he should probably be reeenstated as winner over those years. Without a doubt the 20 top GC contenders in all those races he one where all tied to doping
When he does the ads I just howl. I don’t know what it is about it, but it slays me and I do the gasping laugh.
Can't believe this cheater is still showing his face to the public, what a disgrace to the sport.
I need Bill Maher's sound bites when I huff and puff, good combo, perfect timing team Bill. It's 22 pm up here in indigenous Europe
Back in the day I was not a fan, been watching his podcasts now for a few years, I now know what redemption means. Watch his shows, make up your own minds.
Best ending ever! Wait Bill, I have a few more questions 😂😂😂
Is anybody else noticing how Bill always smacks his lips and makes this little noise whenever he's billsplaining something and thinks he's making a really great point? 😂 I find it so funny and he does it a lot. E.g. at 1:22:00.
*_To billsplain_*_ = Lecturing (with excessive confidence) on a subject you have a strong view on but no deeper understanding nor education._
lol yes he does this on Real Time as well. I’ve noticed it for a long time and this is the first comment I have seen anybody mention it
I’ll take note of it as he especially does it when he does not know much about the subject but wants to appear as if he does. It’s a sort of cocky demeanor about his subject matter.
My dad was a professional cyclist for many years. What Lance is saying is 100 percent true about EPO, you have to be naive to not think that top tier athletes have been using doping methods even this till day (EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone, human growth hormone). His competitors in his era was completely filled to the gills with it, and he dominated all of them, his mindset and genetic ability is what made him a grand tour freak (7 Tour de France's). Lance transformed the cycling industry in the United States and his foundation revolutionized cancer research. He's a bad ass.
Can’t stand watching the NBA and how they fawn over Lebron James and what he’s doing at 38. There’s more than just genetics at play here.
No he wasn’t
Didn't watch this video.
Don't care about cycling.
I clicked in because I wear a Live-Strong bracelet.
I wear it simply for the fact that $250-million was raised for cancer research.
In an age where everything is airbrushed, this is his real-life contribution I admire.
Thanks Bill! Not looking forward to your Christmas hiatus, but you've earned it yet again. Merry Ho Ho!
I loved this interview! I’ve watched all of these too!
You can have your opinion about Lance and his whatever. However, the fact is he had an enormous positive impact on cancer awareness and raising money for the cure, selling a mountain of bikes, and getting people outside to ride.
Meanwhile he gave himself cancer with years of performance enhancing drugs 😂
@@warfarenotwarfair5655 No
@@dpporlando Yes and cancer doesn't need awareness, it's needs research funding and the FDA to stop slowing down progress
@@warfarenotwarfair5655 it's pretty evident you do not know much about the history; "As the Livestrong founder, Armstrong helped raise over $500 million for cancer research, treatment and support, including $6.5 million he personally donated. People donated to a charity whose founder overcame cancer and won seven consecutive Tour de France titles."
Lance arm strong will always be the best! Everybody was doping in that era. It was the norm and it continues to be the norm in various sports throughout the world.
I love it when guest tell Bill in a polite way not to interupt them.
Great interview, I have changed my opinion of L.A. Great likable man, intelligent and well spoken. Thank you for this interview. My best wishes for Lance, you are an honest dude.
lol. He cheated. Is that being honest ? 😂
The man walked on the moon played the trumpet like a champ and won seven Tour de France titles.
Also he has never been accused of any wrong doing.
What a guy!!!
HE WAS ALSO THE FIRST MAN TO WALK ON THE SUN.
@@pdcdesign9632 You know the Polish Government announced that they would be the first to put a man on the Sun by 2030. They had a big press conference about it but they were ridiculed. The journalists said you won't get anywhere near the sun you will burn up. They said we're going at night...
Sometimes 40 miles on a flat Florida road is all we have to work with, nevertheless Lance continues to be one of my hero's.
I love listening to these two guys.
He is a sociopath.
Why have lance on?
Bill- as always- is trying prove a point.
Because it’s random
@@Wafaloo It is stupid
I couldnt agree more. Willie is a LEGEND. Ucan hear his voice on a sound system in a restaurant in Dubai and know its Willie Nelson.
Got the best nap of my life watching this episode…
Thanks for the great interview with Lance today, Bill. I believe everyone deserves a second chance in life.
If he had a second he'd cheat again because he knows even when caught he has all of you to make excuses for his abhorrent behaviour.
Hi everyone, whoever is reading this just wanted to say that we are all praying for each other,
you feel so much emotion for your dogs because you are spiritual Bill. You cant escape it but you try so hard. Give into it Bill and you will see it's real and you will be open to other spiritual things. God is real, He made all you see and all you experience. God bless you Bill Maher, you are a blast to listen to. God bless.
A good conversation. Very enjoyable and informative.
Great episode!
I love the Bill Burr take on Oprah and armatrong interview.
I have loved Bill's show for decades, but this podcast continues to disappoint despite having LITERALLY the most interesting guests on the plant.
The first man to land on the sun!
That was a great segment anyone who suggests that it was a selective group of americans that don't basic general information. Most americans have confidence but lack knowledge.
Bill Maher now fully embodies the phrase, "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
The rebranding series was so funny. This was a great episode. Lance looks amazingly fit still. Good convo about sports, cancel culture and climate change
Always been a Lance fan.
I'd have a vodka soda with him anytime...
I like that Bill had Lance on the show. I respect Lance. Football players are on PED's and no one bats an eye. its not a perfect world. I totally get the point of being more satisfied about climbing the mountain than getting recognized for being at the top. Cycling is a brutal sport
That's not what it's about. It's the fact that he's a terrible human being. I've met hundreds of celebrities through my occupation and he's easily the worst. He has the same gene that serial killers have where there's no empathy or accountability. If it seems as if he does, it's just an insincere put-on. One of my interactions with him was where he and a friend were biking on a road side by side...with traffic coming the other way, there was (no exaggeration) 20 cars going 10 mph stuck behind him. He was carrying on a conversation with the rider next to him with no concern at all for everyone behind him. In that situation, cyclists are supposed to go single file. He fits the definition of narcissistic psychopath. It's a good thing he decided to go into cycling rather that serial killing.
Oh they bat an eye. They get suspended.
Leroid James!
Some haters on here. The little research I did it appears Lance started the live-strong foundation which helps cancer patients emotionally, financially and other supports. If that’s true then I say good for him. Additionally Lance is still the biggest donor and doesn’t collect any money from the foundation he started. The facility doesn’t even have any pictures of Lance bc of the negative publicity. Everyone has skeletons in their closet it’s just that Lance’s was broadcast to the whole world
Throwing People UNDER the BUS?????😮
Great episode! LA will always and forever be an icon, a legend.
He destroyed people's lives in an effort to cover up his doping. He's not a legend; he's a coward and loser.
Bill Maher to Lance Armstrong “ever heard of drugs???” 😂😂😂😂
Yeah, Bill's usually pretty sharp but he completely missed that
Great podcast, Bill! Lance Armstrong is the man, idc 🙌🏻
He looks very uncomfortable with himself.
Maher to Armstrong in relation to therapeutic hobbies he should try -"have you tried drugs?!?" Crickets (awkward silence)
Yeah I noticed that as well;) What a brilliant comment from Bill - he is stoned out of his mind not able to navigate the minefield of painful memories for Lance.
That was epic!!!
At 37:44. Hilarious
Lance mentions 'Captagon", and the powers that be yell in Bill's earpiece: "CUT THE FEED, CUT THE FEED, AND SAY YOU HAVE TO GO PEE."
❤Wow … Thanks Bill, I’ll be seeing you soon in person… can’t hardly wait 😂
Love Lance Armstrong ! The guy is awesome, to pull off what he did and in front of the whole world is amazing…
Don’t forget, all the other racers tested positive as well…
No they didn't. All the clean, great racers never had a chance, with very few exceptions. So, your adulation for him and your excuse for his "winning", makes your input null & void. It's not difficult to take down the "cheating supporters". It's as easy as beating a clean Armstrong!!
I know two guys that died because they were against getting a colonoscopy.
They were pissed when they were told it’s too late.
Can't stand Lance now, put someone else on who hasn't been such a disgrace. All respect gone
11:55 "that's so funny though.... Probably not to you"
Then the next 20 seconds is awkward comedy gold.
"Wouldn't it be great if secretariat had 1 ball".....
This could go for another 90 minutes easy. Love it.
And Bill can do a Pod with ALL the People LANCEY threw UNDER THE BUS...Right?
I forgot that this dude existed
Hand-to-hand combat in the ice bucket tonight!
"who's the first man on Mars!?" Why, Lance Armstrong of course! What a time we live in.
Please have George Santos on next.
You're kidding, right? 😂😂😂
YES HAVE ANOTHER BONEFIDE LIAR ON, GEORGE SANTOS!!!
Exactly. Let's do an entire holiday season of liars and cheats!
Santos is a parody of himself.
Bill, it's odd, but we think alike medically.I like my body to take care of anything that affects me...Dont like vaccine, and I think we r seeing the bad after effect of the vaccine..
I’m 48…soon to be 49 this March 10. I just had my FIRST colonoscopy last Friday. The norm now is 45. My brother who is 4 years younger and is a 10-year Non Hotchkins Lymphoma cancer survivor as of 02/14/2024. I told him he needs to get one. The results of my scope was great… clean bill. Had 4 tiny polyps the size of 2 mm. The prep is the worst part…
I remember hearing so much about this guy when I was a kid, but this is the first time I’ve heard him talk. He reminds me of Tony Hawk.
Hopefully you mean looks because TH is a good dood, LA is a narcissistic asshole.
I'll take that e-bike Bill. I'll pay for shipping...
THIS guy is going to do this podcast sober? 😅
I swear he told lance he doesn’t drink.
@@bs1820 Maybe he quit again. He had "friends" tell him to cut back in the past. It must hurt him in the AM
Club Random Podcast is very entertaining.
I'm starting to think Bill Maher could be a US president one day. He's honest, to the point, and steadfast in his beliefs. He's knowledgeable and willing to learn, he's got the qualities to be a good US president. Lance Armstrong could be his VP!
"Sorry" look what we got w/ "W' .. "Nice Guy" SOB Opened "Pandora's Box to Hell" .. You Get The Whole R Wing Pkg, when you Elect them to the Oval ..
Let's be real...Bill did act like McCain and Romney were going to be the end of the world. He was no different than these pundits he detests today.
Stop. That never happened.
@@josecanales2978 it did. Bill likes to pretend he’s enlightened, but he was playing into the divide we see today (“the other side is evil.”)
Don't know much about Lance, didn't follow his sport, but, he seems genuine and likeable in this interview.
I didn't think I'd give a s#!t about anything Lance Armstrong had to say, but this turned out to be a really good, engaging convo...
Not all the stories about him were true -- we're supposed to start believing Lance Armstrong now? And the doping to win might (eventually) be forgiven except Armstrong started blackmailing and threatening vulnerable people.
Proof?
Did Lance THROW anyone Under the BUS????😊
@@mikewhite4560 The people who came forward with the truth that Lance Armstrong was doping all said they were confronted and threatened by him. I can't remember their names, but they were featured in that documentary about the entire incident where clips of Armstrong publicly calling them liars were shown. These witnesses were also interviewed on 60 Minutes. Yes, I would say that is proof that he at least attempted to throw them under the bus.
Heads up Lance is astonishingly boring as a guest
Did bill ever ask about steroids?
I love that Lance loves Golf and Hockey. I love those sports too!!
I hope Shannon Doherty is watching you guys today on this podcast , it would cheer her up!
I defended him for years. Pretty sure he was the most tested athlete at one point. But I could never have anticipated the level of corruption, stopped watching cycling and didn't start until Froome was on his way out.
The major thing for me was the corruption and the lying at the end.
But he is redeemed now. Still a big hero and inspiration of mine in some ways.
The fact that he went to great lengths to destroy people's lives from speaking the truth about him and his teams is what makes him a terrible person. No one cares he took PEDs to win the TdF. The entire peloton was doping.
You do know 90 percent of NFL and NBA players are on steriods right?
The others used as well, its part of elite top sports and even at amateur levels lots of people do. You can look at it as he was the best, most hardworking and/or most talented of his generation at the very least despite them all being on EPO.
Weak people admire him. Strong people run their own race!!
@@Lightitupp1 He was not the most naturally talented nor most hardworking, he was a good responder to synthetic stimulants with an uber strong team also doped to the gills. Before EPO (but still using lots of dope - hgh, blood bags etc) he was an average day racer with a short list of achievements. He never really competed outside the Tour for fear of positive drugs tests and the knowledge that if he held off on the doping he'd be middle of the pack everywhere he went and be exposed.
