[@javanesemystic]

Thank you both & happy birthday, Lex 🫶🏼

[@Ace.Yvonne]

happy birthday Lex🤍 (yes this is my 3rd comment what of it)

[@Th3rdknight]

Intro was classic Lex but please don't be so much like Alyosha Karamazov it hurts me in my Chestal Area. You are not going anywhere Lex. You are probably gonna rise after 2 days anyway and I shall be there to wash your feet if you permit me.

[@DhruveDahiya]

thanks for the timestamps and stuff, this helps a lot

[@CdawgAMVsFilmEditing]

Dude. I was born on the 14th of August. Happy birthday my dude. ❤

[@hubermanlab]

Lex, it is such an honor and pleasure to sit down, in person, and discuss life and love, and all the rest with you. You’re an extraordinary human being whose positive contributions to humanity are cemented in history and there is far more to come. So grateful to have you as a friend and colleague. I love you brother. To the end!

[@kassiemooney4083]

We need more men like you two! Compassion and empathy are needed in our society ❤

[@AngelGarcia-oy3yj]

Thank you for all your work Mr. Huberman

[@michaelsbeverly]

Love listening to your talks, one slight thing....please consider not making the idea of taking mushrooms so scary or requiring some professional oversight. Sure, with everything, caution and knowledge, but you're making it sound like people need a MD and therapist and psychaitrist to experience mushrooms (or molly) in a safe and positive way and it almost seems like you're being apologetic taking these things.

[@nozellot]

Dear Andrew, you are the first person I know except for myself that also reads while walking. Thank you. (Also for your work, but the primary thing is that with the book (; )

[@helix9268]

Have you ever had a hard laborer job and have to work 10 hours every day to support your family? Doing hard things make you feel good is that your actual quote dude?

[@jonathancaliguire]

Feels like there's a resurgence of healthy masculinity and male friendships in our culture right now, and I see the two of you at the very forefront of it. So much love for you guys. Inspired by your friendship and work together. Keep going, the world is better for it!

[@i_kyl3]

thanks johnathon fuck yeah

[@tsriftsal3581]

Nah. There is still too much hate that must run its course. Those that call for chaos are still hungry for change.

[@intense_relaxing]

I'd agree with this more if Huberman was more inclined to ask Lex about his life. It's his birthday, yet Huberman just cannot stop talking about his own life feats, making sure to acknowledge every person who helped along the way....... except lex. He is the type of person who NEEDS attention so very badly, to exist happily. And this makes him difficult to watch at this point. I love what he does and stands to make known, but he has a very major psychological issue going on that really turns me off nowadays. ...and I have always loved him and Lex, but now it seems more of a platform where he uses Lex, to an extent.

[@nepomo1]

100% agree. These two are a few of the trailblazers. Men aren’t fighting foreign invaders, bears whatever.. pick the physical foe. Our enemies are more internal vs external. More along the lines of struggles with prior trauma, addiction, habits that knowingly or unknowingly weaken us and keep us weakened. There’s shame in that weakness that makes the root issue inaccessible to healing. Andrew and Lex willingly and publicly walk into their struggles with these battles, and are equipping others with the best tools to combat their own battles. Historical masculinity seemed to be measured by measure of outward force. Dominance and power. Modern masculinity seems like an abandonment of the prior archetype. Modern masculinity couples a deep acknowledgment of failure/inner weaknesses and a will to have a daily deliberate war with our internal foes. I think it looks a lot like this conversation. Humility, struggle, and ownership. Thank you Lex and Andrew not only for modeling the new paradigm but sharing what you’ve learned along the way in your journey.

[@Angrymobs62]

He’s definitely huggable. I’d enjoy it. lol

Me too…

[@michaelthacker909]

It made me really happy :) The way he was extra careful with his words and hearing a kind of hesitation I’ve never heard from him. Proud of that man.

Andrew and Lex's bromance is reall... and i'm here for it!

[@nolanbeutel8417]

“He flew in for my birthday and we talked late into the night❤️” 🤣 love it.

[@StayHardened]

Lol… honestly, I wish I could hang out with these two guys so they could make me one of their boys… I bet Andrew talks smack to Lex for how endearing he is

[@kaibe5241]

@@StayHardenedUnlikely. Usually when you have friends that appreciate that sort of bonding, they embrace it. That said, I've given one of my mates shit for how often he cries (at the right moments, of course). He's an emotional dude with a lot of love to give to everyone.

[@lindasalfen593]

I’d do anything to have these two as friends. Friendship is very rare nowadays.

[@jenniferbrantley5931]

That was the most amazing heartfelt podcast with Andrew Huberman, I’ve ever seen. So special to have this rare glimpse into the souls of these two beautiful friends. It was an honor to watch this episode.

[@alvareo92]

have you seen the one with Rick Rubin? That one's beautiful too.

[@STEAMLabDenver]

I agree! ❤

I started the rick rubin one and don't think I finished it. I should go back and rewatch it. @@alvareo92

[@blake6234]

“Laughing at the absurdity of it all” is probably one of my greatest feelings these past few years. In three years I’ve lost 130 pounds. I’ve tackled everything I hated about my life. I’ve had so many ups and downs over the course of it, but I just keep moving forward. Every time I get close to having “The Life I Want”, something happens. Something takes me a step back, always. The closer I got the more it hurt to take a step back. One night I had a moment where I let it get to me bad. All the sudden I had this feeling of laughter come over me (was micro-dosing shrooms). I started maniacally laughing with tears in my eyes. I had this realization that there was never going to be a single point to make it to. If I kept trying to finish the race, I never would. I was thinking as if I needed to race to my goals, but the ultimate goal was a better life, and life’s not a race, it’s a journey. I focused so hard on the goal that I forgot to enjoy what I had worked for. I have accomplished so much. I have made so many changes to my life for the better. There is nothing about me that I have left to hate and it’s a little weird to me. I hardly remember this feeling. I no longer let set backs pull me down any harder than they should. Lately I’ve just laughed everything off. I let myself feel it, because I’m still human, then I laugh it off. I laugh it off and then adjust my goals accordingly. The closer I got to my ultimate goal, the less fulfilled I felt. Luckily I was able to move past that and finally enjoy my hard work. I can confidently say I’m the happiest, healthiest me I have ever been, and I can only move up from here. I still have goals to meet, but they’re always moving. They will forever be just ahead of me. I wish I had the drive to share my experience and knowledge like those who have helped me so much over the years, like Andrew & Lex, but that’s just not me. I will say this. Stay positive, work hard, don’t blame anyone else for your problems. Your life is your responsibility to improve and yours alone. Blaming anyone but yourself for your current reality will never serve you. The act of working to better your life, makes your life better. Don’t let anything hurt you any longer than it needs to. If you don’t meet a goal in the timeframe you wanted, forgive yourself and adjust, move forward. Set new goals always. Find peace within yourself, something to love in everyone, a reason to unite with another, and respect for all.

[@carolg5135]

Guys, don’t rush into having kids, you’ve got plenty of time. Make sure you’ve got the right life’s partner, or, if you want to do it alone, know that it takes a ton more time, devotion, care, love, patience and persistence than a dog takes. God’s timing is perfect timing. Be patient and pray for His guidance and direction in all things. 🙏

[@zigfreidbop]

That's an ominous intro by Lex. "I'm truly grateful for this life... I really don't want to leave just yet. I think I'd really like to stick around."

[@slowdive2200]

that’s what I thought too. 🥹🥹

[@aidanloewen2712]

Also thrown off by that. Was he struggling with suicidal ideation before? Is his life in danger for some reason? Quite ominous indeed

[@Hyperbolic_G]

I would assume he's in danger due to all the filthy rich world manipulators that he's rubbing elbows with. This podcast is sure to be taken over soon.

[@lisam9408]

Also worried me / hope all is okay @lex ❤

[@IntrinsicNRJ]

I came over from Spotify to find this comment. It was so ominous. Was that intro originally here on KZbin, too? If it was; it's since been scrubbed.

[@mateasrsen9690]

I almost cried at the end of the episode. It's a privilege to witness the work and existence of these two men.

Best to 1st practice smacking your pinky with a tenderizing meat mallet. Eventually you will be more & more comfy with pin & tears.. So now's the time to cry..the world needs authenticity..& so do you & I 😊

[@radior0se]

Andrew - when you spoke about growing up without the right comprehensive guidance on how to live a healthy life, my own life fell into place. I was also born intensely curious and engaged, and I’ve realized as a child I never had anyone who could really teach me about myself as a human - especially not as a young woman with ADHD+, on the level I needed to understand, until you appeared. I love and respect how you’ve self-actualized as your own missing teacher, (is this the true path of life?), and the world is better because of your work and clear insight. Your podcast has changed and in a way saved my life recently, thank you for being an awesome answer to humanity’s call for conscious awareness and health. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart for being who you are. What a time to be alive.

[@TrudyContos-gq1bw]

I get the sense that huberman has really done some self work in the past few years and you can really hear the peace in him and the dissipating fear of saying the wrong things it’s nice to see

[@Sid00077]

You should listen to his pod with Jacko. They talk for almost 5 hrs and they do a pretty deep dive on Andrew's past. And you are correct, he has changed a lot and worked on improving himself.

[@rose5566]

🙏 He has found wisdom and peace with prayer✨ God bless him.

[@Jackjohnjay]

As he said, prayer is incredibly powerful!

​@breadwinner541 yes, for things he can't change

[@kamilaewska1663]

The way they speak to each other is just so beautiful - the respect, interest, ease... can’t we all have conversations like this? I loved how Lex expressed openly like a man his fear of being in front if the camera alone, and how Andrew built him up by saying he’s a pioneer and he’s going places... that’s true friendship. ❤

[@mattgraves3709]

I can hear Andrew's reluctance to go into the prayer thing but then to hear him basically voice the seventh step prayer gave me goosebumps... He put it perfectly, something bigger than me help me get out of my own way, take my defects of character that get in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows. Beautiful. Absolutely outstanding Andrew.

"This episode was profoundly beautiful, resonating with various facets of human existence. What struck me the most was Andrew's disclosure of turning to prayer. I can relate to this sentiment, recognizing the division between possessing an analytical mind and acknowledging the vast unknown. Above all, I understand that there is something far more powerful than the self." thank you and happy birthday Lex.

Well said 👍. I agree.

[@melissasanchez4560]

My favorite part

[@HippieKitchenWitch]

Your conversation regarding a morning prayer ritual solidified my appreciation of you both. . . it was the only thing I ever felt was missing in your guidance and I am super psyched, ~because just like Andrew’s talk on alcohol, which gave so many permission to not drink, you just gave millions of people permission to pray. Big huge smile

The end of your conversation brought me to tears, 2 months ago I lost my 4-legged partner, who accompanied me for 11 years of life, it was impossible not to feel identified with some of his words, what a great podcast.

[@willwatson4134]

I can't even lie, listening to Lex introduce this podcast, as one of spontaneity born of true friendship, made me tear up. Two beautiful souls, two of my biggest role models. What a treasure to be able to live in a time where I can be a fly on the wall during a conversation of such love and vulnerability, and get to experience such true friendship and wisdom. My deepest thanks to you both.

Thank you Lex for letting your "internet friends" be part of your birthday. Because after sooo many hours of listening to you and Andrew, now it really feels like sitting at the table with you, enjoying a conversation of two of my friends.

The insights and openness re: therapy, love and spiritual beliefs, etc. are all so comforting to hear. Having these discussions and discoveries in an open forum are quite literally how you change the world for good. THANK YOU both for sharing and caring. The meek are getting ready.

[@mikes9510]

I cannot put into words how much validation and support I get from just hearing you two sit down and talk. It is to see such candid and thoughtful, curious minds be open about their experience of life, that reinforces in my mind that I have the same approach to life, and that it's valid. It's through the understanding that great minds, who I respect so dearly, struggle with much of what I do to, that informs my struggles of their legitimacy. It's seeing you both demonstrate a similar curious and what many may call dangerous or "emotional" approach to life that leaves me empowered to ignore the cynics who stand in the way of my similar approach in my own life. You two are much needed role models for people like me, thank you so much for just being you and sitting down to talk about it. Never stop.

Happy birthday Lex. The podcast has been a source of happiness, thoughts, understanding, peace, and meditation for me over the years and I can’t thank you enough for it. You don’t know me but I really appreciate you!

[@shaunshibu5755]

This was definitely one of the, if not the best episode I've ever listened to. Grateful to both Lex & Andrew for their very being. Hope you guys get to accomplish everything you've set your mind to. Will support you both to the end of time.

[@melfitsbest]

Beautiful. There is no better podcast than when you two get together. It always fills my heart, beyond giving me knowledge to use in my life. Congratulations and thank you! Looking forward to the next one.

[@StefanGlazer]

I really love you Lex. From just another face on the internet across the country, world, whatever. Being able to open and free to speak your mind... to be vulnerable, it's beautiful to see in this world. You made me well up with tears in your introduction, because I came to that same conclusion. I don't want to leave yet, there are a lot of interesting people to talk to, a lot of interesting people to interview, more books to read, more books to write. I can't wait to do more. We all love you Lex, even those who say they don't.

This episode made me smile so much. Two awesome genuine people

[@kevinharrub6772]

Humanity at its finest - love displayed throughout. You two are a gift to so many. Thank you. 😊

[@bradbailey1893]

Lex, much appreciation for what you bring / share with us. Isn’t the ultimate place under duress compassion (vs laughter), for ourselves and others?

[@kingpoopthe7th]

Listening now, but I just had to pause to say I am greatful for both of you. Your work has helped me in so many ways. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@ijaz8888]

What a gem from both these gentlemen - 2 Gurus of the podcast world. Their friendship shows how synced they are and this helps elicit golden nuggets of wisdom from both their lives. Have to listen to this again 👍👍

[@jeg910]

Thank you two for sharing this part of your friendship with us. It was truly delightful.

Huberman Lab podcast has changed my life. For that, I will be forever grateful. I've also been able to pass it along to my adult children so they can have a better life. My son is in San Diego and applying for all the colleges. I hope and pray he gets a professor that's half as inspirational as Andrew Huberman. Same for you Lex. Same for you. Such an inspiration. Thank you.❤

[@AVVideo247]

Andrew is such a great human being that offers great advice and what’s so special is that he doesn’t give advice that he hasn’t followed himself and that’s something special nowadays.

[@69100leegrant]

Hearing these sorts of conversations about managing all aspects of life including work, education, relationships and self worth are just invaluable so makes these types of podcasts unusual and from my point of view invaluable. Thanks to Lex and guests for their academic intelligence, wisdom, honesty and complete openness. "Whatever gets you through the night it's alright" as John Lennon said.

[@aloha2430]

There are moments in this conversation where my eyes actually welled up with tears. Thank you for being so vulnerable in this conversation, and thank you for being excellent role models for younger men like myself.

[@stewitr]

In all seriousness, this podcast left me wanting more. Just over 2hrs...with these two...just not good enough. This should have gone on for many more hours. The love and respect here is supreme. Thanks for what you both do.

[@georgettekolkman5622]

What a great way to spend your birthday Lex! Here's to many more years of life and poscasting for both of you. You make a huge difference in the world.

[@parthmahale8805]

Happy Birthday Dear Lex! Dr. Huberman is a gem. I appreciate what you both bring to this world and love the bond you two share. Keep at it!!!😇

[@lornforlorn4867]

"Is this a problem that needs to be fixed?" What a good question for finding insight. Thank you Lex.

[@marciamakoviecki3295]

Andrew, build a family. Children. Parenting is the ultimate role you can experience.

[@SungatKh]

Happy birthday, Lex! Wish you all the best! I’m a big fan and I look up to you everyday, and I think everyone who’s subscribed to you does. And I wanna become very versatile like you. Keep up the good work🙌🏻

[@excelautodetailingceramicc1182]

I think if I could suggest just one of Andrews podcast to someone as an introduction it might have to be this one. The one with Jocko was good but this one is great. Lots of down to earth humility and wisdom on displayed here. Thank guys.

[@lindaescalante3954]

I have listen to this episode twice already, that’s how much I enjoyed the topics you both discussed. I need more please!😊

[@suncitygraphics7165]

such an amazing friendship! And definitely a tear jerker. It amazes me that animals have such an impacts on us. The look on Zoey's eyes( 11 year old great Dane) still trying to comfort me as life left her, will never leave me. Until the end she wanted to only love and comfort me. May they rest in greatness and I hope to impact someone as much as they did. Happy birthday lex you guys are amazing human beings. I admire such friendship and honesty.

[@AlexTJ-]

Our favourite dynamic duo of conversations!

[@janetmo]

Happy Birthday Lex! Thank you for giving us a peak into your friendship with Andrew. ❤

[@Truthseeker6988]

I know this podcast is from 5 months ago but I also know that I’ve been watching all of your podcasts, that seem to come on every night, only after I’ve fallen asleep watching another show. But, I wake up to your calming, reassuring voice. I hear the wisdom that streams from your consciousness and I watch in awe of your gift of being a tremendously talented interviewer all the while wishing that I had just an ounce of the talents you possess. All that to say, I see this heartfelt, soulful opening to this particular podcast, and I will no longer be just a fan that watches when you pop on unexpectedly…. I will seek out this goodness. The world needs more of you Lex. ❤

[@michasawczyn5541]

I think this episode is one of the best, it truly showed the strong friendship between lex and Andrew, hope to see him more on podcasts

[@kevindellicolli9946]

God Bless the two of you. Idk where I would be without you and the others.

[@henniannariina5877]

I know, what gifts to humanity these two are.

[@elliek5350]

What an absolute feast! Two great friends, two great minds. Andrew, thank you for sharing your experience with praying. Thank you both for another fantastic conversation and a podcast.

[@A.Solitude]

Wow wow wow! You two are, in my opinion, the epitome of gentlemen. You two individually share so much of yourselves to the world in hopes of bettering the world. I truly believe you both succeed in it on your own and DEFINITELY do so together. Every single conversation I've watched/listened to of you two together has given me great hope in the world's ability to heal from the wounds of our pasts. I greatly appreciate you both for being so candid about your experiences and your wishes for your futures. I have spent my whole life living in the Midwest and it feels so desolate and void of people who are open to sharing their vulnerabilities and enthusiasm for grand ideas. Watching the joy radiate from you both on your passions and hopes for peaceful partnerships with loving wives and children gives me a deeper and more concrete hope that one day I can find myself a community and partnership to call home. Bless you both. Thank you for existing and happy belated birthday!
