Club Random with Bill Maher

Skepticism meets reflection when Bill invites Jay Shetty to share about a life that’s spanned the silence of a Vedic monastery and the spotlight of Hollywood. Jay explains how rising at 4 a.m. for cold showers, living under strict celibacy, and sleeping on the floor shaped his views on attachment and purpose. Bill probes everything from traditional therapy to modern dating, pushing Jay to clarify how one remains “spiritual” when fame and success come calling. They trade stories of long-term relationships, debate generational “softness,” and dig into whether the real mind-bender might be a vitamin D deficiency rather than any cosmic quest. There’s warmth in discovering their shared friendship with Arianna Huffington. The result is a candid conversation that balances humor, curiosity, and a surprising overlap of worldviews—one part cynicism, one part monk-like reflection.

We are dropping in your feed today to share a new series that we know you will enjoy. Pack One Bag is an epic true story of an Italian family, split apart by love, fascism and war. Through shocking discoveries - and Stanley Tucci’s artistry - an enthralling personal history comes to life. When documentarian David Modigliani was a kid, his grandfather, Franco, won the Nobel Prize. But, David’s always been more fascinated by the love story that made it possible -- his grandparents' romance on the run from Fascist Italy. When he digs into their story, he uncovers a darker side to their fairytale escape: a brother left behind to face the Nazi occupation - and startling personal connections between his family and Benito Mussolini. In the Tribeca-winning podcast, PACK ONE BAG, he returns to Italy to investigate his family's past, carrying a pressing question: if Fascism takes over your country, do you stay, or do you try to flee? And what happens if you can’t? You’re about to hear a preview of the first episode of Pack One Bag. After you listen, head to https://lemonada.lnk.to/packonebagfd to hear more.
