Imagine the feeling of accomplishment when you hear RDJ finds it unreal to have a talk with you.

[@TheSilentHeel]

LOL right?!

[@ShashankSawantPhD]

@Schweddy Ballz I am somehow inclined to agree with both of you. What Michael is saying is how the world is and most people will immediately get what he means and that it is true. Yet what you say I also agree with, as that's how the world should be. That it shouldn't matter who you are and how much you have accomplished, when two are having a conversation.

[@robertconover7178]

Schweddy Ballz The way you talk is sad and depressing, you must be projecting.

[@xxdemisucksxx]

No. Eddie Hall is a human and I am amazed by him. Some people see that with RDJ. People all over the world are aware of his existence. And decades from now will still know who he was. It's not his species you should consider but his experience knowledge and achievements. Learning from others is human, so is conversing, and holding people who have done more in higher regard, or elders. These are human traits. Being human is being in awe, motivated and inspired by the progress of other humans, especially if they've done more than you.

[@chiafairy7091]

@@ShashankSawantPhD I partly agree but partly disagree because it's a difference saying "I feel unreal and accomplished because this big famous person said this." to "this human who has inspired me a lot in my life, who's work I admire and love has said this, so i feel very happy and accomplished." i think there is a great difference in the two and I would say it is perfectly fine to feel the way of the second sentence, because it is good to look up to people and appreciate them for what they have to say and what work they put out into the world, and it doesn't have to mean the other person is worth less, or more.

[@lessonsin30s]

The life story of Robert Downey Jr. is truly inspiring and teaches you that you can only be your own savior.

[@CeresOutpost]

RDJ has had one hell of a journey man. I've been a fan of his since watching Weird Science and Less Than Zero as a teen back in the 80's. Watching him rebuild and reinvent himself over the decades has always been inspiring for me and that's completely aside from enjoying his works. I even spent a few years practicing Wing Chun, like RDJ, as a way to help heal myself of depression and anxiety. I'm not really a "fan" of many people, but he's firmly on the very short list.

It means that you haven't gone through that many interviews...interviews with variety of hosts I meant - from classic to modern day. They all have their own field of expertise and waya of asking questions - not all of em always fall as categorized or systematic patterns of topics, nor it should... and that's the beauty of interviews. You better watch some early 60's 70's, 80's and 90's interviews - not all of them make instant sense to you but I bet each and every one of these interviews will teach you more than one lessons of life...

[@cityhawk]

I know it’s a controversial stance, but it’s clear time has past Dave. He was incredibly funny and brilliant on Chapelle’s Show, but it seems as if the time off made him rusty. A comedian needs to have the stage to stay in that sharp comedic shape like an athlete. I think he’s a shell of his former self. Him and Brennan were a great writing time, and worked well off of each other. Maybe with more time Dave regains his sharpness, but he is, at times, unrecognizable. If I get tattooed for saying this, so be it, it’s just my opinion.

[@quantumpotential7639]

It's a ryhthmn .. like a sine wave. It helps to know when the sine wave is above the line, when you're above it, and when you drop below it. Always catch it on the up swing, and take a soft landing when coming out and drop below the line, preparing to be ready and to hit your stride again when you rise above it again. Maybe it's a daily ebb and flow, or every three days, or every 8th day. Take notes and over time you will detect a pattern. Good luck

"you would write something and you just listen to it on the loop, cuz you go wow.....that's not, I know that I was here and I did that, but it feels kind of inspired..." facts, jewels.

[@Zombikilla10789]

I know exactly what he means when he talks about getting an inspired take recorded as a musician. I’ll listen to the same thing 20 times in a row and think, “wow, I know this is me, but I feel euphoric listening to this because it’s so surreal when all the variables come together.” When your voice is perfectly warmed up, but not too crackly, when your instrument is perfectly in tune, when you nail the instrument part and singing at the same time. It’s like you can feel the energy of whatever force in the universe puts the magic of creation into the physical world through inspiration. The same feeling a fighter feels when in a flow state, expressing themselves through movement, hitting and not getting hit with ease, is not dissimilar to how a guitarist feels shredding into a solo, in absolute flow state. Very interesting

[@jofisher3643]

When joe was talking about the creative process I got goosebumps cause it’s literally what I feel when I make music

[@deepwaters7242]

This is great. I love seeing this side of the complex Mr. Downy.

[@CommanderAlpharocks]

Rob is so well spoken! whoa!

[@poppa861]

Rob? So we know each other, we go way back in the day?

[@benshocker5954]

Man Robert seems so genuine, I love that.

[@NM-ss7hh]

I've had a crush on Downey for sooo long. His energy is so peaceful and gentle and humble. Beyond sexy.

[@xkirose]

he still has the iron man chest piece on when he even does podcasts

[@julianwarmington1267]

What, the neckless? Haaha - i was wondering what that was - makes sense! - Actually it does look a lot like jade, or what in Aotearoa New Zealaand is called greenstone, or "pounamu," although that's not a *traditional* Maori design. It is interesting though, huh?

[@PokemonTenLV]

i thought i was a roller blade wheel

[@triggeredmitch6687]

Hockey puck?

[@danielescoto6067]

He actually used those type of necklaces before being iron man!

[@thedemonnoof4383]

It's his sobriety arc reactor.

[@KristofKristoferos]

I can legit see these guys having a few beers afterwards, wonderful dynamic between them. Robert's a great guest!!

[@dbranch23]

ain onia RDJ doesn’t drink. Notice the “pause when agitated” phrase. Textbook AA.

[@KristofKristoferos]

@@dbranch23 Oh yeah that's right! I totally forgot!

[@ripmyheadof]

No beers no alcohol please. Only milkshakes.

[@newxonearth]

Awesome interview for Today❤

[@DubstepNL]

My god. This is excactly what i need at this point of my life, making great desicions on my career , health, and life. This man talking tears up my hearth.. Beautifull and inspiring. Many thanks. God bless

[@sarahmeecham6654]

Beautiful conversation. This gives me hope concerning the integrity of humanity and the evolution of media in podcasts , etc.💗

[@Simianking2]

I feel like I'm listening to a Tony Stark interview

[@slowsti0535]

@Derck Layja so you're THAT guy at the party

[@slowsti0535]

@Derck Layja I don't go to very many mainly because I don't like dealing with idiots

[@xXCreezer]

Slowsti05 He’s right tho, its quite rare in general to see Robert Downey and not Tony Stark in an interview. When he finally puts down the facade, he is completely different from the made up character and instead feels like a real person

[@ronnana694]

@@slowsti0535 no... I AM! yes me i am that guy at the party i like to say ''well youre not''

[@Simianking2]

Derck Layja It’s just the voice mostly. Don’t worry m8 I can separate reality and fiction

[@remotecabinstudios]

“A smile on the inside”, now I know what I’m aiming for.

[@caliv0608]

I don't know RDJ and will never know RDJ, but I am still so proud of him. I've watched his movies for so many years and to see him now happy, successful, wise from his experiences is so beautiful.

[@adamrauscher4755]

I needed this video 2 weeks ago. I'm a full time artist and I not only got in my own way but began hating myself for it thus halting creating anything. Luckily the tides changed and I feel like I'm on to a new chapter in life. But thanks for this Joe and RDJ

[@andysantos2475]

Who would've ever thought that the dude from Weekend at Bernies and Less Than Zero would still be knocking out hits all these years later.

[@UNIRockLIVE]

Life advice that a actually makes sense

[@xdavier31]

Wow, Joe has RDJ on the podcast?! That's insane, something that was seen as impossible over 6 years ago.

[@cjfinley513]

Such a classy interview. Bravo.

[@cjfinley513]

@Guess Whocifer I'll bet you're a blast at a party.

[@thedude3189]

I remember when joe was talking about "wouldn't it be crazy to have famous people on my podcast".... he made it

[@aaron0000123]

What he said about falling into self seeking, depression as a default that really resonated with me and made me take a look at myself... I need to wake up.

[@iam.artemis]

You got this!!

[@danstefanich2004]

We all do brother. So many of us fall into that place so easily. And to see superstars admit that makes me realize that we're all just people going through the same shit. A great topic with two awesome humans.

[@samholder196]

Never been a huge fan, but RDJ comes off really well here.

[@Getaboardtv]

Gangsta! These two guys are legends! It's sooo cool to hear them riff back and forth.

[@TheThirdEye2022]

The big I DON'T KNOW. The Humility is so evident in this conversation , completely respectful of each other! Love this! "Sure." 🤗

[@chuckmanson6092]

Joe's edibles kick in at 9:40

[@huskboo]

I’ve never actually heard him talk as himself. He sounds so different.. interesting.

[@Your_Daily_Scroll]

his genuine laughs he shares with joe are.....i dont even know.. really nice to see, as strange as it may sound

[@bowhunter8532]

A bit over dramatic for me...

[@dizzie337]

Really enjoy him.. on this he sounds like a great man! while hosting Ellen’s show, gotta say, sounded uh~ as if he had many feminine tendencies. Just my opinion

[@OcelotDAD]

@Schweddy Ballz hahaha RDJ has had more quality pussy than you will ever even dream of you dweeb

[@ericallen789]

Steph. B if you've ever seen a Marvel movie that was basically him talking as himself

[@alexagaba284]

Nice one Joe... Next, Ricky Gervais, Dave Chappelle, Joaquin Phoenix...

[@cityhawk]

Alex Agaba Joaquin would be an interesting interview though. It could rival the interview he did with Letterman.
