Bill Maher and Deepak Chopra randomly riff on true identity, preparing for the end, being chased by the monster that is death, Mother Theresa’s crisis of faith, Bill and Deepak’s spiritual journeys, the morality of spiritual transcendence, how the placebo effect is real, and how we are all just playing a part.

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!!!
That's a relief. I scan through the other interviews to see if he ever shuts up for a minute, and I think I heard Ice Cube talk the most out of any of the guests on this show.
I don't agree that Mr.Chopra was successful in preventing Mr.Maher from interrupting him,which is impossible for anybody. This is especially evident during their discussion on religion (near the one-hour mark)
Definitely a common theme with him. Worst interview in that regard was his interview of Rob Schneider. He literally didn't let him finish a sentence the entire interview.
@@joestefanoni5263 put him in his place KINDLY
Terrible interview, let the man talk geez. I think Bill was too intoxicated for this interview.
"Some people are so poor all they have is money"
-Bob Marley
I'd be curious what percentage this would apply to all the wealthy of the world
@@lamnuck it could be 1% or 99% who knows. As for myself.. when I have any to a bit more in my hands or pocket.. I'm miserable and actually can't wait to either lose it in a Casino or spend of course Bill's.. Whatever the case is I'm more intense and aware when I'm broke. The way life should be.. in my point of view. To each their own.
I struggled to hear deepaks thoughts with the constant interruptions from Bill who seems to love the sound of his own voice
Yeah.. he does not listen at all.
Learn when to listen..
You'd think Bill would wake up and realize how much he could learn from someone like Deepak Chopra.
I couldn't agree more. He does it with all his guests.. One of his guests needs to call him out on that. It's a great concept, but Bill needs to show his guests a little more respect then he does. He judges everyone in the country for being so righteous in their beliefs but then he does the same thing over and over again... Unfortunate because it's very entertaining and at time insightful concept. Not trying to throw Bill under the bus; it's just a blind spot he has. And I don't by at 67 he can't change.. Communication skills is practice and effective listening is the key. Also he views spiritual people as religious, two very different things, that Deepak tried to explain.
@@srf12341234 True, I do think Bill believes he's honest most of the time and that's probably one of the main reasons I watch Club Random, that plus it's nice to get to know some of the people I never really new much about personally, like Woody Harrelson, Gene Simmons, Kid Rock and Jay Leno. And I back Bill's position regarding vaccines, doctors and big pharma 100%.
Deepak Chopra is a scam artist
One of my favorite guests yet, if only Bill actually heard him out..
Deepak “atoms have consciousness” Chopra
@@reggie8370 He’s as loony as the typical guest that agrees to be on this podcast
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.
Sometimes people laugh when they are astounded.
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! :)
Great request!!!
I agree!
Yea please!!!
agreed, show us whats on the walls. the mementos, etc.
Probably just being nice. Just another rich guys place
May be the best line during the whole conversation "we're sleepwalking to extinction".
we aren't sleepwalking to extinction, we are walking toward it with eyes wide open but it seems that no one cares...
@@paulreider8321 Exactly, no one cares because they are all sleeping, and you are not willing to take the authority.
Or Bill saying, "You are throwing everything into a soup."
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!
I know. It makes me sad for Bill that Deepak is pointing out so many fundamental truths and Bill interrupts and laughs them away. But then…this is a foreign language to Bill because he sees himself only as a body so the ego is so strong that his inner being can rarely be heard by him.
yes!
Deepak is a capitalist he does not deny it 😢
Agreed.
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.
if you smoked a joint with him, you would never get it back, and he would relight it 20 times, because he never shuts up.
@@choppedandchanneled he would ask you a question and then talk over you as he's looking for ice
Yeah he's gone over the deep end. I totally agree with you . Though I am an enemy of chopra who is nothing more than a con artist
It's amazing how sencere, caring and legit Deepak Chopra is. Bill is so fake compared to Deepak.
KEEP BEING YOU BILL FUCK THESE WHINING CUNTS ❤❤❤❤❤
Bill, normally I love to hear you talk. But this is a time to listen and learn.
If only depak had anything to teach
"Of" only you could spell.
Resolve in knowing
@@First-Last_name kinda true .... :) just sayin.
@@zcat1006 yeah, because you've never hit the the letter beside the one intended on a touch screen before. Thank you Mr infallible for correcting me 🙄
Or like crawl off that high hourse and contribute something of value to the conversation maybe? 🤷♂️
@@First-Last_name Bill still doesn't realize the ego is not our essential identity. Even Sam Harris knows that. So yes, Deepak can teach Bill some things if he'd actually listen and try to understand.
"Organized religion is the domain of cunning hypocrites."" Truer words were never spoken.
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.
Absolutely agree.
“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean, in a drop” -Rumi
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
"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.
He pretends to understand quantum and misrepresents it.
To those of scientific bent this is unforgiveable.
He says he knows when he will die and it will be in meditation.
What's the betting he's wrong ?
He is a capitalist though, he does not deny 😢
Glad he could help you. He is a liar though.
Which would you choose to emanate? Bill or Deepak? It's obvious this man from India is Holy.
Why did the quote Deepak mentions “some people are so rich all they have is money” immediately make me think of Bill. 🤔
Bob Marley is BS ?
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.
@@Foulfellowjust wondering what you find fraudulent? Each has his own perspective on life. It is up to you what path you take?
Yes, but he’s being real and not agreeable or holding him in higher esteem..Equalizing the situation.
and full of shit. saying he knows when he will die. bill will never buy that kind of shit. its gullibles who just latch onto one man & believe everything he says!
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.
Tell that to Doug Stanhope. 😂
Except with Kris Jenner
that's because he's self absorbed
@@Simon-talks good one.
He has spent decades with stars so i dont see what is surprising. I certainlt dont think deepak the scammer is someone to be starstruck by anyone
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.
coolest guest in a looong while. easy to be around too it seems.
This was unexpectedly epic. Deepak should have mentioned it is the ignorance of the truth of who you are and not the other way.
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.
Tell that to Larry Hagman or other liver transplant recipients....
Deepak peddles bullshit.
@@johnnymeyer4253 I believe Larry's dead now. That's the point.
@@rainmanjr2007 I know he's dead but he got a liver transplant and lived many more years then had he not. That's the point.
@@johnnymeyer4253 I know you think that's the point but it's not. Life is momentary and will end as, and when, it needs to end. A lot of death is likely coming to our nation and globe so it's my suggestion (as a Zen Taoist) that we lose this fear of it. This is our mental illness and not serving us well. Life is not about time. It's about quality of the experience. One can not have such quality if death is feared and as common as ...death.
That was the perfect podcast. Yin and Yang!
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
That’s because DC is a charlatan moron
We have an obligation not to respect nonsense
Yes
Yeah… you have a bad take dude. Deepak has a lot wisdom but he also spins a ton of bullshit that deserves to be called out. You can’t be so myopic.
Well said Brazil…notice all the unaware trolls who know nothing about what Deepak is talking about but think they do. This is how we ended up with trump!
What a lost opportunity.
How
@@will-i-am386 I felt Chopra wasn’t able to answer. Allowing him a couple more sentences, with regard to each question or topic, would allow more clarity. ✌️
@Tread there is only an hour to 2 at most. If you want a clear answer, find his books and read them. To the rest of us, the shorter the better for a lot of us with his answers. Nothing was lost. Just do more research.
Yes, he could have learned so much.
@@Tread1775 I hope you didn't give him any of your hard earned money. That's what he does to people hes a spiritual thief and a money grabbing con artist.
Smiling all the way through as a great admirer of both of these men. Both have changed me in different ways.
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.
Bill Maher is so steeped in fear and darkness that he can treat those who might have a very different experience with rudeness and a joke. Bill, consider losing that superficial ego and dare to come out of your farkness.
He’s a talker and he’s high. There’s no mal intent. And I’m quite sure these topics make him uncomfortable. I forgive him. Because it’s me.
@@shannontreiber1070 Of course we should forgive. But here, not really. There is nothing to forgive. We only understand that Bill is too unaware and that he's scared. High or not, Bill will be ok because we all follow our paths to the same earthly ending. Bill is living his dream, as we all are.
right if you can't agree with pseudo science...is that really where you are going, whatever subhuman thing you are??
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.
“Anybody can lick feet! The pope does that” - Bill Maher
Bill thanks for displaying the contrast between enlightenment and intellectualism.
Bill cracks me up. He just tells jokes the whole time while this guy is so serious 😂
first time i have heard anyone refer to THE deepak chopra as "this guy." lol
@@nicebluejay He’s usually referred as Mr. Woo Woo.
Neither of those things are true, they are both funny and serious at different times. Bill was getting uncomfortable throughout lmao.
Yep, he has a joke about everything he says!...LOL
I find Bill is obnoxious and irrascable in his advancing age, probably from too much cannabis use. Chopra's points at the beginning about the dreamlike quality of life become unavoidably obvious to anyone paying attention to their experience. Our brains generate a sense of psychological continuity that don't stand up to even a moment of scrutiny in still awareness. Exactly as Chopra said, where is your childhood now. When the words come out of my mouth they're already gone. We can pretend this is some far out woo woo fabrication, or you can see for yourself right now what happens - as quickly as a moment arises it passes away at any scale of observation. When you watch what's actuallly happening as it happens for 10 seconds without the backdrop of commentary or preconcieved ideas about who you are, what you think is happening or any other conceptual layering, and Chopras words become obviously true and not hard to understand.
His cultural traditions around a life well lived and a death accepted are also commendable.
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.
How did you make an entire career out of interviewing people when you don't let them talk and seem to despise their opinions?
Yeah, he shouldn't interview foreign people of faith because he will not allow them to talk and they generally don't understand his sarcasm.
Not everyone you come into contact with you agree with that's called being an adult. Like a real adult not an adult with Peter Pan syndrome not children or a boring tool that is a pushover spice up your life you should try to have a conversation with someone you don't agree with, by the way he's high as hell I'm pretty sure he doesn't smoke weed and drink alcohol on the set of Real Time with Bill plus that's his house he feels comfortable smoking weed in his house and I pretty sure if this guy was offended I'm pretty sure he's gone through life and has an adult mindset enough to speak his opinion and Express himself he's not a gen Z little baby lol he's a grown ass man bro you're watching an old man smoking weed and doing an interview why are you expecting some CNN production
That’s actually why I watch the interview. I want to see these types have to clarify and answer tough questions about their philosophy. It’s almost if as a culture we’ve started to believe that if anyone questions me that’s a bad thing and it’s a personal attack.
@@eaglesfan2285
His uncomfortable laugh.
Bill does not enjoy being challenged on any level..
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!
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.
What a contrast of ideas and personalities .. :) Nice !
Bill: LISTEN 👂
Still a big fan, but man, Bill's understanding of love is that of a 13-year-old boy. Seriously, Bill.
I always feel like does he seriously not have some friends who can sit down with him and help him mitigate his arrested development frat boy vibe?
@@monicabeaston4996 Yeah, it's kind of interesting, right, that he talks about getting older and understanding more things, and I agree with him on that, understanding history, understanding culture and food, like gazpacho is cold, lol, but then when it comes to love, well, you learn what love becomes after the bright-hot insanity that love tends to be at the beginning, and it's just like having a really nice whisky as opposed to a Zima, haha. I'm just surprised that is totally lost on him.
He never left his adolescent years. Sad little guy
@@monicabeaston4996 I have often thought the same. I'm embarrassed for Bill.
@@brek5 it's because deep down he's still an adolescent. Sad little guy
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 think he did and it shattered his heart
W Hugh Hefner for a father? I don't think so.
Bill had the experience of a girlfriend deserting him when he was 17. So he has never recovered from that. You know how some men are; they think they are the only ones who have ever been deserted by someone.
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!
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.
please Bill let your guests talk
I adore Bill Maher but he was an Absolute Glassbowl To Deepak. You owe him an apology! Bill, you never shut up, Mocking him nonstop. Shame on you. What a terrible listener!
Duh it's called CONVERSATION jeese *!
He would, if Deepak had anything worthy to say about anything.
Deepak is a charlatan of the worst kind. He has tried to make himself into a modern day religious icon. The rubbish he spouts has been debunked over and over by those who actually understand and correctly use the terminology that this charlatan uses to attempt to confuse gullible folks into thinking that they are not intelligent enough to understand what he is saying. A technique used for millennia by conmen and others who desire to control people for the purpose of lining their pockets and cementing power.
@@donnacarter4890 Lighten up, it's banter. Deepak is not a guru to everyone. I know his disciples are all getting angry now that Bill wasn't bowing to his wisdom, but he's a quack and it's honestly surprising he was on the show in the first place.
Bill was on fire with all his references in this episode; The Crew-Cuts, Frank Sinatra, Bee Gees, Groucho Marx...
That's on fire? I don't think so.
“I’m stoned with life”
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👍
Watching Realtime is so f’ing painful because of the fake laughter and applause cards that must be constantly shown to the studio audience. It’s an aspect of old school television that needs to be DROPPED! So awful!
Yeah and I think Deepak loves Trump, which is awesome
@Simon if u believe that I have a bridge to sell you. Chopra is a con artist and thief.
It's sad that people listen to one of the ultimate con artists of all time = Bill Maher, while not listening to the most legit, caring, Sencere and helping human beings of all time = Deepak Chopra.
h'wut..? "..without interruptions"..? what do you call the TWO commercial breaks in the middle of EVERY interview..?
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.
Im only 15 minutes in and this contrast between you two is hysterical
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 was like watching a dog trying to talk to a cat. Dog- “Life is great!” Cat- “I’m gonna torture this mouse.”
Congratulations! This comment wins the Internet!
Idk if I'd say bill was being like a cat like that.
BUT - this is the 2nd time the cat didn't go on and on and on complaining about Covid.
But the cat thoroughly enjoys that torture and everything else in its life.
Ironically, Bill is a TOTAL dog person.
You The Man Bill Maher! I Enjoy Watching Club Random!
"You mean you're holding?" - I about died.
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 don't see what was funny about this interview. Were you smoking weed or something?
I liked when deepak spelled, G-U-R-U 😊
Just donated some money to Deepak's charity. He's clearly a good dude, here just to do good...bless him.
Why would you donate to someone worth in the neighborhood of $100 million dollars?
Hilarious. He’s worth 20 million 🤡
I started listening to Deepak nearly 20 years. I learned a lot about myself.
Now since he’s gone Hollywood I’ve lost all respect for him. I’m still a Eckart Tolle guy .
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!
Yeah Dawkins has lots of silly ideas. It's good of bill to keep lightening things up with these people.
I love watching this show. I may not agree with Bil, l but I sure do love watching him high and laughing at himself
Again , I see Bill’s sensitivity and vulnerability, it’s good , it’s good.
This was a FANTASTIC episode!...despite my preconceived notions.
One of the funniest parts was when Bill read DPAC (Durham Performing Arts Center) and thought it was referring to Deepak! 😂
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 ❣️
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.
Imagine- so many years wasted on this moron
Chopra is a con man and a fraud
Is the same mother Theresa who hung out with dictators and said it's good for the poor to suffer as christ did
" Humble ? No need to be humble , and no need to be arrogant , just be gentle and fair and respectfull with good selfconfidence ." - Words from guru Sadhguru .
(being humble can take away the own selfconfidence , in some situations )
Dawkins almost had a stroke trying to reason with Deepak's lunacy.
Any time you try to fuse mysticism with science, it's going to become a problem. I respect Deepak in some of his philosophy, but he comes closer to being Doctor Strange than he does Stephen Hawking, if he poses himself as a scientist.
I remember...lol...Deepak is a crook. Dawkins is a global contributor to the understanding of evolutionary biology. No contest.
It’s not his philosophy, he didn’t come up with any of it. I haven’t followed his career but I don’t trust the Indian guru types who got rich from selling it to the West, and there are a handful of them. The vast majority did not try to get rich and I would listen to them.
@@sup9542 I definitely wouldn't tear my shirt off to differ.
Deepak "Word Salad" Chopra
Best guest so far.
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.
Maybe someday this spiritual consciousness will seep into Bill's brain. We can only hope.
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 !
Linda you don't need a god for this, hell you don't need a cowardly christian god for anything
By "levity" do you mean antagonism? Chopra was totally chill the whole time and kept having to calm bill down. Lol
@@my.names.robb.with.two.bs1 no , I mean chopra is up in the clouds and bill is down to earth
The only person being rational was Chopra. Bill was freaking out the whole time and having some kind of existential meltdown. Deepak was doing his best to calm bill down. There's a difference between healthy skepticism and nihilistic craziness. I think bill is crying for help.

This is so uncomfortable. Club random seems like it should be a place for mellow conversations, not arguments and peacocking.
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.
Bill is the perfect example of people only being able you meet as deeply as they've met themselves.
Bill’s “Happy ending” 😂
and he went on to explain the joke like a 3 yr old
@@Ninkopi because Deepak has zero sense of humor and is on a podcast with a friggin comedian.
Great episode!
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.
Bill, please let the person speak and answer your questions instead of interrupting continuously….it’s so rude
Bill is so adolescent.
Totally agree
Smell my farts!
BUT he is very intelligent.
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
Mr.Fib. it's chops thats close- minded
That guest is a fake ass
@@bradzimmerman3171 Rather I'd say chops is Sooooooooo open minded that the brains fell out!
They both agree on one thing.... that religion bullshit. Deepak quote: "Religion is cultured mythology".
Great interview. I’m a fan of both so the contrast really makes it interesting.
Deepak: "when I was 17..." Maher: "It was a very good year?" lol
Bill stop interrupting your guests!
Smoking and drinking and drugs
Smoking and drinking alcohol IS drugs . Don't do it .
Fascinating, funny, just got right in there.
I want to see this video again, Deepak is insperational teaching for our times
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)
Wow! Loved it! 💚💚💚
This sit down went by so fast !
1st one I stopped watching after 15 minutes.
The estimated Net Worth of Deepak Chopra is at least $152 Million dollars as of 31 January 2023.
Bill - go with the flow- love it
Go with the flow? Are we watching the same guy? Bill is always on edge and flipping out. I always expect him to go all Will Smith on one of his guests someday.
@My Name's Robb With Two B's your right- Deepak told Bill to go with the flow knowing that is hard for the dude. That was funny.
this was fantastic -thank you Bill & Deepak
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").
Fantastic podcast
Maher.. INTERRUPTS TOO MUCH ! Try listen dude .. it’s a skill 😂
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 couldn't agree more! Well said
Right, his smug comes off pretty bad in this one. He shoulda left this in the vault
A very good observation. His fear of death seems to almost completely consume him
I have experienced these ideas and attitudes from many people in the US, it's pretty familiar, these are the result of materialism bought to one by capitalism. When you are the subject of the object loosing it is scary. You generally can't go deep with these people, they also tend to avoid the real, they would call it drama. They look like conscious beings but still not aware of their doctrinations.
The good thing, he isn't as terrible and fake as the likes of Don Lemon, Whoopi Goldberg or Joy Behar. I'm just thankful for that.
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.
I remember when Deepak Chopra was in Bill Maher's 'Politically Incorrect.' He looked hard at Bill Maher when he talked. Bill Maher responded by saying, "don't hypnotize me."
So hilarious listening to Chopra talking past Bill and Bill admitting to be lost😄.
It's because chopra isn't actually saying anything of value.
The Cannabis / Alcohol Free episode that is surprisingly intriguing
The funniest bit Bill has done in years is his "Hello Fresh" pitch. I couldn't stop laughing!
You know, it is very very refreshing to witness a great discussion about so much with so little said. Thank-you Bill & Deepak for your wisdom and reflection on your lives. I wish to be more self aware and I loved the dialogue. Wishing you both a great life, only thing worse than dying is not living......so your both right.
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...
