I really enjoyed this conversation with Joe. Here's the outline: 0:00 - Introduction 1:17 - JRE theme on guitar 1:54 - Fear of mortality 3:24 - Chaos of 2020 and beyond 7:08 - Are we going to be okay? 16:07 - Violence, competition, and Sober October 23:22 - Mike Tyson 24:25 - Managing obsession 26:49 - Jiu jitsu game 32:31 - Best martial art for self defense 36:06 - Second amendment 40:35 - Memorable JRE moments 46:08 - Ideas breed in brains of humans 52:44 - Advice for Lex 1:02:45 - Long-form conversation 1:09:05 - Meaning of life

Lex on a first date: "Do you think about your own mortality?"

Joe Rogan is the common man's philosopher. He's not a genius, renowned academic, or professional scholar, but he is a deep thinker with an Independent mind. This is why we watch.

I had no idea Lex could play guitar like a complete boss. Literally gave me goose bumps.

There's something vulnerable and heartwarming about listening to a mature guy who's achieved so much, talking about LIFE in such a way. It's as if he's humbled to a point where he touches every chord in such a simple way. And the other one(Lex) is getting better and better.

This guy is interesting, he should also start a podcast like you Lex.

Everyone is pretty divided about Rogans new studio. I think Lex’s new studio looks great, tho.

I love how Lex is not shy to express his awe and admiration for Joe. Lovely man who has been raised right, your parents, Lex , need to be congratulated. Peace.

This was one of the best conversations I've heard. I got to know Joe and Lex. They were being ultra REAL with each other so real that Lex asked for legit personal advice and he didn't care what Joe's response was good or bad and TRULY wanted to know Joe's opinion. They were "into" each other and the conversation not to "show off" or say the right thing cuz they were on camera - honestly I think they would be the exact same if they were sitting in Lex's living room no cameras just 2 friends sharing their ideas advice intimate moments etc. They were REALLY listening. I also think it's funny that Lex is worried or had to ask for advice when CLEARLY he's doing brilliantly on his own and making good decisions to shape his life, grow and eager to learn more and grow with each beautiful podcast he does.

Joe: Hey, wanna come on my podcast? Lex: *uno reverse card*

I wonder if Jaime watches this wrapped in a blanket like Joe is with another woman.

I believe with just one episode Joe pretty much inspired at least 500k people to think deeper, have deeper interest, passions and the meaning of life . Such an analytical thinker; an incredible human that love the human conversations and see the beauty in dialogues. Talked about the value in exercising, taking risks . This is just beautiful and I’m so blessed to have witnessed one of greats to have ever done this podcast thing. Great episode . So much wisdom and knowledge

This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it ukposts.infoUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.

Your studio looks EXACTLY like Joe Rogan's new studio.

One of the very best interviews I've ever seen. Always asking the best questions. Joe was great. Big Thank you to Lex.

Just discovered Lex this week. Such an amazing discovery.

Podcasts are amazing. I barely watch tv anymore. I’d rather listen to two people engage in conversation about something they are passionate about.

Lex just pulled off a reverse JRE.

"Thank you for the contribution to the world!" booms an enthused and dramatic voice, as a thunderous applause echoes throughout the sold out arena. The audience is filled with emotion; proud of what this individual has done to not only better their lives, but more importantly, to make the world a better place. Their accomplishments have been nothing short of amazing, and to recognize them in letting them know how thankful people are for their hard work feels all too deserved. This individual has brought about an overwhelming air of hope and optimism that resonates throughout all four corners of the globe-they are sure to be an inspiration for generations to come.

Great interview for both guys. Very enjoyable. They seem very relaxed with each other which brings everything very down to earth. Kudos to both and may they each continue to their paths of success and self fulfillment. They both push themselves to be great at what they do. Joe has always been great since NewsRadio and Lex is an outstanding interviewer.

This is the best Joe Rogan interview of Joe Rogan I've ever seen.

from the sick guitar solo right into: "do you fear death?"

Podcasts are just broadcasting conversations people have had for generations. People just need friends. This generation is isolated af.

Joe’s dance analogy to having conversations between two persons germinated the idea that for all performance art - martial art, dance, podcast etc - staying in tune with your partner/ opponent and yourself and share that with the world is how love is generated and spread ❤

I feel like you two should have switched seats and he should have worn a black tie.

2 men proving that it is possible to be talented, capable, accomplished, famous and wealthy and still be grounded and excellent dudes with disease-free egos. A couple of inspirational mo-fos.

Lex must be killing it, 3 sponsors for one video!

Amount of wisdom in 2 hours > in my 22-year life. I literally took a break and applaud their work. Thanks Lex, thanks Joe🙏!

Lex's camera angles in the JRE studio is exactly what I needed!

Stop reading comments Lex

Actually after watching this conversation, which I thoughly enjoyed, it's easy to see that Lex Fridman - a highly accomplished fighter in his own right - is also a real humanitarian. His sensitivity and compassion certainly shows in this interview. I don't know much about him yet but I intend to.

great work lex, nice to see Joe opening up to benign interviewed in his own studio

My two favorite podcasters having a conversation is a blessing.

Thank you JRE and LF commenters, I learn a lot from you. I’m watching from Egypt, my first language is Arabic. Sometimes I miss a reference or I don’t understand a joke, but reading the comments often helps put some of the ideas in context for me. Love and peace to all of you.

I've said it once and I'll say it again - Joe Rogan would have to be one of the most astute men in the martial arts world. I get a real buzz watching real tough, physical guys such as Joe articulate complex issues with real intellect and wit. Never dull. He's also got a sensitive side which he reveals when you hear him talk about personal and social issues. I always enjoy what he has to say.

Absolutely loved this . I’m going to listen again to take in more. I’m astonished at Joes mentality he is far more than I thought he was . Lex is the best . Such a relaxed interviewer. Love this Magic . Thank you .❤

I hope everyone that grows up without a father in the home discovers these two dudes.

Joe has such an honesty about him, and he’s pretty philosophical. You brought the best side out of him

Lex I have never made a comment on social media I'm just a listener. You have that special gift that Joe Rogan does I believe you both are positive people and spread kindness and love and life rewards you. Keep doing what you're doing your success is obvious.

The merging of such smart, human, open, worldly energies. So much love for this. Every interaction should strive to achieve this level of love, respect and inspiration seeking energy. ✊

"People say that time goes by; time says that the people go by." --Vietnamese Proverbs

This content is so peaceful to me.

Lexs' demeanor is inspiring. I love both of these guys.

I loved the use of "don't put all the eggs in one basket" analogy which I have always looked from a financial perspective but Joe mentioned things like Love and Friendship that those baskets should be balanced with other goals too. What a great way to think!

Lex Friedman is a black belt and an MIT commentator. Basically he is the smart version of joe Rogan when he had hair

Congrats Lex, this podcast is gonna go to the moon.

You both have helped me not be scared to talk about my Pre-Birth Experiences. Just by y'all having an open mind and dialogue helped me realize not to be scared to speak my truths and work on my life project about Pre-Birth Experiences! Thanks

I love this podcast/ interview. Yall did an awesome job.

I was hoping Lex, would say, “hey Jamie, let’s get our guest Joe something to drink.”

This is insane, Lex is interviewing THE interviewer of interviewers. Thats super meta.

Hey Lex! Hey Joe! This is one of the best podcasts I've listened too lately. I like both Lex's podcast and Joe Rogan's. Both have excellent podcasts! Keep up the good work guys!! Love your content.

Their first point on mortality really kicked in for me once I had my daughter. Then, it really got me moving. I don't think I'll live long, have lived very unhealthy for several decades (that's now changed), but it has motivated me to do as much as I can before I pass, for her.

C'mon man do you have to say "today could be your last day" while looking like a hitman😂

The Lex Fridman Experience. PowerfulLFE.

10:18 Holy crap Joe called it 2 years in advance!

Love your conversations, Lex. ❤️

Lex has such a carefully crafted way of asking a question. Brilliant interviewer.

Lex has quickly become am impressive long-form interviewer.

Two of my favourite people of all time in one screen! Stay strong Joe! 🙌🏼💪🏼

Interviewing JR in this own studio.. Boss Fridman

Loving the podcasts Lex. I’m so happy that you interviewed Joe. Must have been a surreal experience.

You can literally feel that Joe is an interviewee by the way he talks.

Joe Rogan was there my whole life growing up since 1986 he is like a friend father figure and brother im thankful the lord Brought us such a talent. Thank you lex for sharing this with us.

That's one cool start on a conversation, man. Very enjoyable talk. Thank you.

Either it's the tiredness, or Joe is really different when he's in a guest role. A bit more there, a bit more direct and honest. A pleasure to see it this way. Thank you Lex!

Sometimes Joe Rogan thinks about death, sometimes death thinks about Joe Rogan.

That muse idea is sooooo on point when you get ideas that randomly come in when your sitting doing nothing

That tangible force is empathy.

My favorite part of all your podcasts is you peeling that “thoughts of mortality” aspect of every guest ... shows you that we have WAY more in common that we’d like to admit from the comedian to the Academic prize winners ... keep crushing it Lex ... much love.

Carl Jung said: “People don’t have ideas, ideas have people”

Lex, your comments about Putin..., in the context of today (March 4th, 2022), haunting. You have a theme of love. Lex, you have a theme of LOVE.

That guitar intro was awesome Lex, I would love to see you write some songs, either by yourself or in a band; hopefully soon.🖖🎶❤

Feels like a true mentor mentee relationship. And a good friendship developing.

Lex you are so mindful to whoever you talk to ,enjoy your podcasts .

I absolutely love these two together

"I'm much more into strangling people than anything else" - Joe Rogan 2020

I always love it when Lex and Joe have podcasts together. It’s always a mentally-stimulating and chill conversation.

this was the first podcast that got me listening to lex. I have listened to them all in the last 3 years. He has changed a lot, but changed nothing at the same time! Keep it up

Good to see your success Lex. You are good at what u do. What an excellent friend and mentor you have in Joe. I never liked Joe initially, just from seeing him on UFC but as an podcast interviewer he has no peers. Great guy. Very real. True to himself. Not phoney. Smart. Honest. Funny. Not scared to ask questions. Great interpersonal skills. Authentic. My first impressions were wrong

When I see Lex Podcast: Click When I see Joe Rogan Podcast with Lex: Instant click When I see Lex Podcast with Joe Rogan: *Phone screen cracks*

Please bring Firas Zahabi. Looking forward to those conversations!!

Crazy to listen to this now…I hope you both stay true to yourselves.

that was some clean guitar playing

Two legends together. This Saturday is off to a good start. Thank you Lex for being yourself. Keep up the great work!

I rewatched this episode many times now. Just endless motivation, explaining the care and obsession. The idea of ideas being alive and breeding inside our bodies stuck with me. And I hope I give birth to more ideas so that I am not just a carbon footprint in the end

Lex, your comment on not owning a gun resonates with me… owning a gun changes something in you… reminds me of the quote “if you live by the sword you die by the sword”.

It’s amazing how this podcast feels so different than the JRE episode even though it’s the same dudes in the same studio on the same day. This feels 100% like a Lex podcast.

I much prefer how the lighting was during the Lex episode vs Joe's other episodes.

Two of my favorite people having a great conversation. What’s better than that? Thanks 🙏

Let rogan know that yes he did achieve his goal...I've never met him but since discovering him thru his comedy n podcasts he has impressed n affected my life...felt lots of love...so keep sharing n caring...it does come through...thank u!?!!

"The audience changes every night. You're the same person. You have to speak your mind and do the stuff that you think is funny and makes you laugh." --Joe Rogan

Lex, I love how you bring these fascinating yet obscure people to my attention. Thanks for introducing me to Mr. Rogan.

I'm seriously envious of motivated people like Joe.

Nice guitar playing! What an interesting human you are. Joe and Lex, peas in in a pod.

so this was probably like their 5th hour of talking, after the 4hr JRE

Impressed with Joe’s introspection and knowing himself. Open and honest

That guitar was awesome bro good job a nod to The Joe Rogan intro how cool was that

Oh... I have to say with all my heart,from all of your podcast that I have viewed,that this one, in so many ways, was the most meaningful, inspirational podcast for whatever reason, that you have done yet. Idk exactly why but I cried through out the entire cast. It did something for me. Thank you ❤️ 😊 both and the muse.
