I love that Deepak Chopra does not let him interrupt. Usually when I listen to Bill he totally takes over the conversation and people don't get to finish their thought or story. This was a breath of fresh air that Deepak put him in his place!!!

"Some people are so poor all they have is money" -Bob Marley

I struggled to hear deepaks thoughts with the constant interruptions from Bill who seems to love the sound of his own voice

One of my favorite guests yet, if only Bill actually heard him out..

I don’t believe in all of Depaks philosophy, but I’ll be forever grateful for him introducing mindfulness to the masses. Also, meeting him in person he’s a very kind & thoughtful man.

May be the best line during the whole conversation "we're sleepwalking to extinction".

Bill, this might, personally, be your most important interview. These concepts might come back to influence you. I love how Deepak would not let you interrupt! Your whole world seems to be very rooted in sex, which is a big part of everyone’s life, but it is not everything! I agree with Deepak: what’s it all about Alfie? Nothing. It is all a game and we are simply spirits in transit! Enjoy and be self realized!

"Organized religion is the domain of cunning hypocrites."" Truer words were never spoken.

Bill, you need to give us a tour of Club Random! Everybody says they love it when they sit down but it looks just like a tiny room to us viewers! Come on! Give us a tour please! :)

Bill can not ever shut up long enough for the other person to complete his/ her sentence. The man is too in love with his own voice.

Bill, normally I love to hear you talk. But this is a time to listen and learn.

I'm the same age as Bill Maher. I don't usually fear death, but as it gets closer it does cross my mind more often. I had a few psychedelic experiences when I was young that showed me something similar to what Chopra is talking about. I consider myself an atheist as I don't believe in God, but I do feel like I'm a part of a larger whole. Maybe like a drop of water being returned to the ocean. My own self may be gone but part of myself will continue. I hope Bill can make peace with whatever waits for all of us.

That was one of Bills best interviews. Being a student of sitar , I especially liked the story of Raviji tuning up the Sitar with Tabla player and getting an Applause from their Western audience LOL

Oh, Bill. You may regret not listening and learning from this man. The first step is to separate from your ego. This man is so full of knowledge and wisdom.

I'm impressed, Bill. For a man who openly dislikes therapy (mainly for yourself) for reasons you have openly stated, you are actually listening actively to Deepak, pushing through your resistance. He is a very good g u r u for you (that is brilliant). It would be "giving back" and uplifting to anyone who loves you unconditionally (as in accepting your narcissim) for you to overcome your race from the death monster and embrace your mortality...publically as you are so brave to "show" yourself authentically on Club Random. Wow.

"LISTEN TO THE STORY!!!!!!" Deepak Choprah" Sweet Jesus Bill, even Choprah had a hard time shutting you up! Man, sometimes we want to hear your guests, we KNOW AND LOVE YOU!

Deepak's books have helped bring peace and understanding to my life. His words may not resonate with some people, but that does not make him a charlatan or fraud. Respect.

When Deepak said that western medicine doesn’t prolong life only misery- it made lots of sense. He is very aware of the cycle of life.

Dang… normally I love Bills interviews but he really dropped the ball on this one. Deepak was trying to share his points and Bill just kept talking over him and disregarding what he’s sharing. Def missed opportunity to explore some interesting topics

What I like about Bill is that no one seems to intimidate him. He is not star struck , and gives everyone basically the same treatment.

This was unexpectedly epic. Deepak should have mentioned it is the ignorance of the truth of who you are and not the other way.

coolest guest in a looong while. easy to be around too it seems.

That was the perfect podcast. Yin and Yang!

Why did the quote Deepak mentions “some people are so rich all they have is money” immediately make me think of Bill. 🤔

If you can't agree with someone or listen to what they have to say then talk louder than them and if that doesn't work, talk louder and faster. That always works.

Love you, Bill...let the guest talk, please. You'll be back next week; this is the guest's time to talk more and make their points.

I'm getting more and more put off by Bill's intolerance for ideas that require sophisticated and nuanced thinking. Bill is as closed off and disrespectful as Tucker Carlson to guests and information he cannot understand. Tucker and Bill are two sides of the same coin. Some people have a low openness to experience, meaning they close themselves off to anything beyond their familiarity and imagination, which is already a narrow and limited space. If this episode made you uncomfortable it's because it made you fearful. Some haven't built the self awareness to see anything honestly, Deepak was right about that. A highly self aware person trying to explain their spirituality to someone closed off and out of touch with themselves is like trying to explain colour to a blind person. I have never believed Bill not wanting to be married despite how often he tries to make the case that he is happy as a single man. Someone who's too closed off to fall in love and start a family and now in old age is so scared of dying alone is not someone I take that seriously or want advice from, unless it's how NOT to live. If Bill remains closed off by the limits of his own imagination he will die in fear instead of with dignity and peace, I don't want that for him, I like Bill. Queue "Hurt" by Johnny Cash.

I loved this interview! Life is but a dream. So true. Deepak has such wisdom, and he’s very humble and willing to concede when he’s wrong, like when he conceded that not all politicians are necessarily just power-mongers. If Bill Maher is truly an atheist and does not believe in an afterlife, why does he fear death? I guess when you are in the process of dying and still have consciousness, you might be fearful of it, since you still have capacity to feel pain and regret. However, if you truly believe there is no afterlife, there is nothing to fear. You simply die, and you cease to exist. If there is no afterlife, you will have no fear, no regrets, no anything after death because you no longer exist or have any consciousness. Maybe he’s really agnostic and more spiritual than he’s willing to admit.

Bill, please let the person speak and answer your questions instead of interrupting continuously….it’s so rude

Smiling all the way through as a great admirer of both of these men. Both have changed me in different ways.

It was very very good - thank you to go through so many topics - eg, from self identity to go beyond, from right to left - left to right, AI chatbot for suicide prevention to healthy death, from ignorance to evolution, from living in the insane world to no resistance to living .... Then, about 1971 Bangladesh concert in NYC, politics, culture, and love not depend on anything. What can I ask more? Thank you very much!

Still a big fan, but man, Bill's understanding of love is that of a 13-year-old boy. Seriously, Bill.

Bill thanks for displaying the contrast between enlightenment and intellectualism.

What a lost opportunity.

I can appreciate that Bill Maher is a comedian, but he would do well to listen to anyone as wise as someone like Deepak Chopra.

How did you make an entire career out of interviewing people when you don't let them talk and seem to despise their opinions?

You The Man Bill Maher! I Enjoy Watching Club Random!

I love watching this show. I may not agree with Bil, l but I sure do love watching him high and laughing at himself

Bill is the perfect example of people only being able you meet as deeply as they've met themselves.

"You mean you're holding?" - I about died.

What a contrast of ideas and personalities .. :) Nice !

I can’t stop commenting. This convo felt so VERY me. Me trying to meditate, me trying to slow down…so glad this convo happened! New day tomorrow.

I truly wonder if Bill has ever had a serious moment of love. NOT appreciation-but real humanity kind of love. He seems to avoid real connection? What does he fear?? Curious. Great episode.

I've really enjoyed this podcast introducing me to folks I think I otherwise wouldn't have learned about! I'm definitely going to look into his work now.

Deepak vs Bill is like the universe vs.humanity. Unstoppable force vs. Immovable object. Lolol. Bill Maher may be brilliant but he's shallow to the core. Deepak encompasses both surface and core. Interesting stuff!

Just donated some money to Deepak's charity. He's clearly a good dude, here just to do good...bless him.

Bill was on fire with all his references in this episode; The Crew-Cuts, Frank Sinatra, Bee Gees, Groucho Marx...

This is so uncomfortable. Club random seems like it should be a place for mellow conversations, not arguments and peacocking.

Again , I see Bill’s sensitivity and vulnerability, it’s good , it’s good.

Excellent episode, and as I watched you can see Bill is black and white, while Deepak engages in the abstract. It definitely kept my attention and a lot of great points were made from both

This sit down went by so fast !

please Bill let your guests talk

“Anybody can lick feet! The pope does that” - Bill Maher

The contrast between these two souls is incredibly interesting to watch unfold. Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily. Life is but a dream!

I don’t thing you could find two people more opposite than Bill Maher and Deepak Chopra. But this interview somehow worked…minus Bills annoying interruptions and close-mindedness. Overall it was productive and entertaining

I am humbled to have been present to see Dr. Deepak Chopra in a casual setting. His experience with LSD and looking at Mother Theresa's picture and understanding her compassion. He carries that bright light. I am a fan for many years.

Bill’s “Happy ending” 😂

This has to be one the best club random episodes...i think one of the reasons why I enjoy this channel is that you get to listen to intelligent conversations without interruptions and a live audience. Reminds me of the old Tom snyder and David suskind shows from the past👍

I totally agree -one of the worst qualities bad interviewer is to think that people are more interested in them than the guests, and constantly interrupt the guests. I'd really like to hear what dr. Chopra has to say.

Thank God for Bill bringing levity here ..I don't care what human he's talking to, hes just a man .... healthy skepticism is smart !

This reminds me of when Bill wanted Dawkins to light up a spliff with him....I find these kinds of unlikely interactions to be absolutely hilarious!

Great episode!

Bill cracks me up. He just tells jokes the whole time while this guy is so serious 😂

Bill: LISTEN 👂

This was like watching a dog trying to talk to a cat. Dog- “Life is great!” Cat- “I’m gonna torture this mouse.”

I want to see this video again, Deepak is insperational teaching for our times

I’ve had more out loud, laughs, listening to this, then any other interviews that I have listened to! Oh my God, I’m not even done with it yet! Thank you, you two ❣️

This was a FANTASTIC episode!...despite my preconceived notions.

Bill - go with the flow- love it

Bill stop interrupting your guests!

Bill’s life view and Deepak’s are so far apart from each other. It’s pretty humorous watching Deepak trying to explain the experience of unity consciousness to Bill.

It’s like 2D thinking vs 5d ….

Bill’s own stubbornness and self-righteousness really limits the potential depth of this conversation

Im only 15 minutes in and this contrast between you two is hysterical

Lively discussion, thank you! I wonder what Bill will be like after he gets beyond his fear of his end of life? What a powerhouse for the 'provincials' he will be then 😊 Do enjoy Dr. Chopra's meditation retreat, highly recommended. Namaste (btw this word has same meaning as 🙏 bow)

This is one of Bill’s BEST episodes. He’s the perfect interviewer for someone like a Deepak Chopra. The silliness of it all - I’m in stitches 😂 the interviewing style and conversation kinda reminds me of the way Howard Stern used to be back in the day. Just HILARIOUS 😂

I listened to this while at work pruning apple trees with a chainsaw today on the farm with one earbud in one ear. AMAZING episode. I loved the wide range topics discussed. Deep. I'm reading The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker (almost done), so this episode resonated even more as a result with me.

That was so good! And funny too! Maher, while possessing a certain wisdom of his own, served as the perfect foil for the great ancient wisdom of Chopra. There's plenty of Taoism in Chopra's teachings, especially the ideas of shedding identity, cultivating self-awareness and going with the flow ("no resistance to existence").

One of the funniest parts was when Bill read DPAC (Durham Performing Arts Center) and thought it was referring to Deepak! 😂

Bill is so adolescent.

Nothing matters in this life and it's all unimportant, but let me tell you all the accolades that myself and my family got from different institutions.

The estimated Net Worth of Deepak Chopra is at least $152 Million dollars as of 31 January 2023.

Deepak: "when I was 17..." Maher: "It was a very good year?" lol

Bill people from India study things you have never thought about. Buddhism, life after death. Poor Bill so unaware like a high school boy.

The Cannabis / Alcohol Free episode that is surprisingly intriguing

Oh, my goodness gracious! I have the master of madness sitting in the dark, chatting with the master of living in the light, agreeing with the master of madness, that the whole world is insane! Oh goody, I thought it was only me who felt like that. I feel much better now...

After finishing seeing the piece, my previous comment was just wrong. My compliments to Bill Maher for educing the best conversation from Deepak I've ever seen.

this was fantastic -thank you Bill & Deepak

The writer of 89 books on finding your inner publisher

Never thought I’d say that this would be my favorite guest so far..and I won’t but it’s damn close. Bill cracking wise on old music and movie lines was definitely over his head or too high for this GURU. WELL DONE😊

I think it would be really interesting if Bill would take Deepak up on going to the week-long retreat. What does he have to lose? Give it a whirl, if he still comes out without learning anything, ok, well at least he tried.

Best guest so far.

“I’m stoned with life”

I love both these people but related more to Deepak.

Great interview. I’m a fan of both so the contrast really makes it interesting.

This was a good experience for Bill .... he has been red-pilled by his Trump loving fiends, and a conversation about the meaning of life an inevitability of death might set him back to reality. Good for you, Bill

This might be my favorite Club Random, yet! I haven't read all 90 of Deepak's books, but I've read about 20 of them and I've been watching Bill from early days, too. But I don't think Bill was high enough for this CR session! Deepak has spoken often about knowing when he will pass and he even wrote a book about it (Book of Secrets).

Bill has developed his own worldview and has said many times he is an atheist. Bill does have a sense of courage to share his thoughts especially when they run counter to the dominant culture.

This is the greatest thing ever

Maher.. INTERRUPTS TOO MUCH ! Try listen dude .. it’s a skill 😂
