  • Kanye and Lex: two people who I’d never thought to hear in one podcast together.
  • @volpe_sol
    Kanye putting Lex out of his comfort zone, and Lex putting Kanye out of his comfort zone. This is awesome.
  • @kotokrabs
    "That sexcalated quickly" should be in next Ye song
  • @PROFESSORGRIMM03
    Love the way he conducted this interview. He let Ye be himself and didnt cut him off and had a very open mind 👑
  • The most impressive part is Lex being able to divide this into chapters.
  • @pokehunt3r224
    How Lex even managed to actually isolate specific parts of this dialogue into chapters and assign them a topic is beyond me.
  • @nil_nux556
    Lex is the most patient person of all time.
  • @Paulie_Geelie
    I don’t think I could’ve had this conversation with this man
  • @elcapitan549
    And today Lex reaches legendary status in pop culture
  • @cornswoggle
    Lex not being a "yes man" throughout this entire podcast is the best thing that could have happened
  • Really liked the honest open conversation and love the way Lex pushes back. Also to Ye for changing his perspective in this conversation i really enjoyed that. I must say i was a bit annoyed though by the reoccurring topics. The whole interview seemed to revolve around mainly Kanye’s tweet. Would love to see a part two exploring other parts of Ye’s mind and Lex’s perspective on it. Thanks again, it was really inspiring 💜🙏🏻
  • @davidsimpson2008
    Lex has got to be one of the most authentic and sincere public personalities I have ever encountered, and this interview was the proof. I have hope for the future because there are people like you alive on this planet inspiring other like minded to be bold and stand respectfully in truth. Kudos and love to you Sir!
  • Listening to ye is like trying to explain a dream you just woke up from
  • @Legend0_o
    We understood kanye better on this interview, kanye stayed calm because lex didn't ignore what kanye was trying to explain, the reason why this interview went smooth because lex genuinely tried understanding what kanye was explaining and correcting kanye if he disagrees. Thank you lex
  • @dembashow
    "Turn I to we, so we take responsibility and they to us, so we take countability" I love this saying by Ye
  • @Lena_80.08
    Thank you! Incredible interview, an amazing conversation, many wise thoughts you both have shared here and lots of learnings to be taken “home”. Edit: just watched Oppenheimer! Kanye - Wonder who is Strauss in your case 🤨
  • @awwebb991
    Lex genuinely listens even if he disagrees. It’s comforting and inspiring.
  • @IvanBeram
    Kanye looks like he just finished painting my basement
  • @dayzinn
    Would be cool to see part 2 in the future lex
