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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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 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

"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.

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.

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.

Lex just pulled off a reverse JRE.

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

Just discovered Lex this week. Such an amazing discovery.
