Someone is probably gonna die. Which is highly unnecessary. Please dont get me wrong: Everybody has the right to protect himself. But there is a border for EVERYTHING, especially having a gun and using it. I mean: You are from the US. You have daily shootouts. Why does that happen...? ;) Simple. Logic.

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.

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.

This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it kzbin.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.

Actually joe is interviewing lex😂

[@daltanionwaves]

Hey Tom. ...I wish they would have touched on the recent headlines about Spotify censoring Joe.

[@DaveRossignol]

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

[@alexandersemionov5790]

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

[@swine13]

Its what good interviewers should be doing. I see MTV interviews with people asking asinine questions that no one cares for the answers to and they obviously don't give it much forethought. You can tell Lex not only thinks about what questions he wants to ask, but what questions he _needs_ to ask to bring out Joe's personality in a positive way for everyone. Its not easy, which is why its rare, but in a perfect world, every interview would be something like this.

I don’t know if you’ll ever read this, Lex. I hope you do. I just want you to know how much I appreciate you. I’m a college student, and finding your channel has been one of my brightest parts of the last year. This is my favorite channel to throw on and think to. You spark some of the greatest conversations I’ve heard in a long time. You’re an example to me in many ways, and I hope you never stop putting out love and big ideas in the world. Hopefully a little comment like this for you can offset some of the petty hate that comes with social media. Thank you
