@@dranreb1118 I'd say he asked too thought out long questions. It was always about to get to the point of the question then it never did. Either way. Epic podcast.
Lex came at Jocko in a way 95% wouldn’t just because he’s Jocko. Great minds here. Great interview, really shows the humbleness of this beast of a man.
My dad was a lieutenant in Vietnam. He was only interested in getting his troops home safely. They were Texas boys. He actually got them home safely and they showed up to his funeral in 2005. The funniest story was everyone in the squad having to use Campho phenique -a menthol salve-on their balls to combat jock itch from wading into brackish water. Eventually he came to laugh about it. War is hell. But I think my dad was a good leader. His troops loved him. Hoorah!
It's kinda strange seeing Jocko in color. I thought you HAD to look at him in black & white, kind of like how you have to look at a solar eclipse through a filter to avoid eye damage
Having Jocko on your channel on the 4th of July is America as fuck! His book Extreme Ownership is a must read for anyone that wishes to be a leader or wants to improve their capability as a leader!
I've watched a lot of Jocko and I've never seen him seem so serious and tense. It's as if Lex's line of questioning made him go somewhere that he doesn't normally.
@@francorodriguez8252 100% agree with you on that. Lex was trying so hard to ask a question in the most absurd way possible, it was borderline cringeworthy.
I think he made him uncomfortable right away with all those questions about the morality of war at the beginning. Obviously Jocko is going to understand and read history and war from a completely different angle. They're not talking about the same thing.
Jocko is a great example of CONTROLLED ego. Lex keeps coming at him with philosophical open ended questions and Jocko responds like a hammer driving large nails in two taps. Both guys just think on a completely different level and that was why Lex hardly at all followed up on Jocko's answers. It was weird....I was waiting for responses. Jocko is just full on military war machine geared and Lex, bless his heart was trying to assimilate. Way to go guys, entertaining.
Demonstrated are the two different mindsets of both a patient scientist who analyzes and explains data all day, juxtaposed with a commando whose job it is to capture a building and eliminate insurgents as quickly as possible. Both personalities are needed in this world. Both have their roles.
Lex, thank you for a fantastic podcast. I’ve always been a fan of Rogan and all you IDW guys. But I’ve always felt like I can’t be as good as some of these guys because I’m introverted, or not as smart, or I’ve made big mistakes that I know these guys have made, but haven’t seen them making. As the son of an immigrant, your 99% perfect English and your self admitted slight awkwardness draws me in because I feel a lot like you. And seeing you interview people like Jocko, it makes me feel like with my personality, I DO have something to offer the world. Anyway, I don’t know if this makes any sense, but I’m glad I found your channel Lex. I think you’re awesome. Thank you.
This makes perfect sense. We need all personalities to add value to our world. I hope you do something you love, and through your love for it, value bleeds to the rest of us.
So accurate! When Lex talks about the whole relaxing thing, it's a hard point to articulate and he gets it across. And then Jocko goes "I tell people to relax harder", that was perfect!
There are a number of questions the Jocko truly isn't understanding, not how to answer the question, but he isn't understanding even what the question is.
Lex isn’t trying to be complicated. That’s how he is. He lives in his head so it’s naturally difficult for him to achieve the same level of clarity and simplicity that Jocko speaks with.
Not entirely sure that “trying to be complicated” is what he’s doing, it just seems to be his mode of thinking & delivery style. Joko is a mature man of action with a brain-Lex, on the other hand, is a very intelligent & sensitive guy who is slightly dysfunctional & a lot younger who isn't.
I had a heart attack looking at it. You can see Jocko in a Legionnaire helmet thousands of years ago. A natural warrior and leader. Carved from granite.
@@per_scep_tivegamer879 Does Lex have social anxiety or something? I noticed he doesn't make a lot of eye contact and he fumbles his words somewhat regularly and overall isn't very well-spoken. He seems like a smart guy though.
One of my favorites yet. Lex, your questions have been on point, great progress. Jocko is like an iceberg, you managed to shed light on what lies beneath the surface.
A fascinating range of topics covered here, in depth and in very very useful ways. Jocko is as badass intellectually as he would be on the mat. Well done, Lex, for attracting such supreme guests and for wisely knowing how to get the best and all the use out of them that you do.
You’re not afraid of having the hard conversations- they are necessary and you do it gracefully. Thank you for that beautiful tribute to our country 🇺🇸
Are you afraid of dying? Ive heard this question a handful of times on a handful of episodes. THATS a hard question nobody wants to ask, and is necessary? Nobody asks it cuz its not moral and everybody should obviously not want to talk about their death, or how they feel about it. He knows it too, thats why he gets into his 'shy shell' when he asks. Its weird questions. Plus we all know and dont care to know the answers. Its either a "yes", and, well, duh...or "no", and your just a tough guy, who fears to show his fears. Because NO ONE, is not worried about dying and leaving loved ones behind. NO ONE! These interviews are like a 4 year old talking to fully mentally developed intelligent professional KIND people who not once speak their mind about these immature weird questions (not all questions). JRE interview....first question..."are you afraid of dying.....maybe, today?" Its unreal, embarrassing, and makes you want to spit your drink out, all at the same time. I hope one of these times someone speaks their mind about, "What kind of question is this". Put some russian cartoons on kid and grab ya sippy cup.
This has to be one of Lex’s best interviews. I feel like I would have just gotten sorry for myself when Jocko answered the questions like he did. However Lex knew this was going to happen, prepared for it and perfectly blended his style and Jocko’s.
Winning through losing is more valuable then winning. And when there's ego involved, challenge that ego and give it a chance to be humbled and shifted. Challenge being the main source of happiness. Creating the best version of yourself. So challenge yourself, and love to lose knowing you're doing something difficult and that is a win. That's what I learned among other things on this episode. I thought this was a beautiful discussion. And Jiu Jitsu is so powerful with changing perception. Makes me wanna get back on the mat.
The opening to this podcast, your love for being an American is beautiful and deeply moving. I love you, Lex. Don't stop spreading that love and positivity.
The first three minutes of this video...give me hope in humanity and this country. Lex, I respect and admire you from afar...and it's so inspiring to hear your words, behind all that Russian "stoicism"!
It just blows my mind where we are in modern days. I'm only 30 but growing up I'd always wonder who the big decision makers were, where they were, and what they may be doing. And today here are two of them putting forth effort to create interesting dialogue for all of us
Lex really seems like a great guy. However, I had trouble with his lengthy sidebars/missives which disrupted the flow and tenor of this conversation. Ditto the Katherine de Kleer interview. He will get better and more consistent and I really appreciate the time and effort he is putting into this and all of his endeavors.
I feel it's actually the opposite most of the time, lex is much more to the point then most his guests. Here he talks more but I think you'd have been even more disappointed if the podcast had been normal lex jocko and reccuring 5 minute blanks lol, jocko isn't a chatter type
Lex - "Does the old man still got it?" Jocko - "Are you talking to me?" I can't believe Lex had the balls to ask that question. I couldn't stop laughing. It's at an hour and thirty-three minutes into this interesting talk.
In my opinion, this interview is a perfect example to why Lex is among the top interviewers in the world. His questions are so specific yet overlooked and never asked from other interviewers. The leadership case study was so interesting, I had to listen to it on loop a few times! Thank you @Lex Fridman
I feel like Lex is more tense in this interview, and confrontational stance. Can’t blame him, but Jocko’s a genuine sweetheart and has a lot more wisdom to share with us. Thank you :)
I would describe WAR and the fear of DEATH as follows: When I went to war I got on a train. On this train everything was about making in through together, doing what must be done, taking no unnecessary risks. The moments I came in contact with death the fear I experienced was quickly overshadowed with making in through together, doing what must be done. After the war I got off the train on my peaceful, familiar and save station, where I got in the train five months earlier. Only then I had time for contemplating, and noticed that everything looked different.
One of the things that concern me about A.I. or other 'autonomous' weapons doing the killing is that it becomes easier for the person doing the killing to disassociate themselves from the ethics of the act. It's easy to push a button in a room and turn a blind eye to the consequences.
Both of my favorite podcasters go into this cross-over conversation. My podcast app went beserk and I felt the shockwave of this gem by just reading the host and guest names. First time that I ever actually watch a full episode of Lex and Jocko on youtube instead of just listening to the podcast. This - is - a - weird - combo! My brain spins in circles - good ...
The first three minutes of this one are the most powerful. So good to see a grateful immigrant. Welcome, Lex. You are the type of New American my father and uncle fought and bled for in wars past.
Lex, thank you for sharing at the beginning of this podcast. Thank you for loving and appreciating your adoptive country. It is a refreshing perspective compared to some of the immigration/border issues we are dealing with only 3 hours from my home in South Texas. As to this country….my elementary school years were spent in the mid-1950’s to early 1960’s. We were taught to love our country, to appreciate its unique government structure, to love our brilliant Constitution, to appreciate our founding fathers even though flawed in some areas of character. We were taught to love our free and open elections, especially the privilege of casting a secret ballot so one could not be targeted by those who wanted you to vote other than you did. We knew this was not the practice in other places. Our fathers, grandfathers, uncles fought in WW2 and we loved them for it. We suffered with them through the PTS they experienced in our homes behind closed doors. We knew freedom came to us at great personal cost. For decades, it seems that our schools have taught our young ones not to cherish these things and to be hostile toward law and order. The education against communism is gone. But listening to younger Americans like you, this older woman has hope for the future of my grandchildren. Mostly, my hope is in the God who influenced the very founding of this country. As Jordan Peterson points out so readily, our societal foundation is on Judeo-Christian principles and practices. We fail in wanting to dismiss the necessity of religion in grounding our communities in order and peace to insure ongoing prosperity of heart and life. Jesus plucked me from hopelessness and fills me with joy unspeakable as I live in His Life which He so freely brought me into over 50 years ago. May you someday know Him too. It would be the greatest capstone to your journey. ❤️
Lex saying how self critical he is to the point he hates everything he has done is so relatable. I feel confident in the things I do but looking back I often find it like I could've done this or said this to be better and it doesn't paralyze me but it makes me reflect so hard
One thing I’ve learned, being apart of multiple startups in the “The Valley,” is that a leader should detox the culture from your presence. There really isn’t another word I can think of. The product is simply a byproduct of the culture. The purpose of making your bed is to simply start your day with contrary action. Most of your day should feel like contrary action. Happiness is that feeling when you put your head down on the pillow at the end of the day and you KNOW there is nothing else you could have done to make that day better. Strive for that feeling every night and you will live a life that you love. I know this because I have lived both. When people say how hard do you train I really don’t know what they mean. I’ve been very lucky to have been pushed when I was young there is really only 1 gear. This doesn’t mean I’m stretching vigorously on Sundays but I’m doing my best to get the MOST out of everything I do. Good stuff Lex.

Jocko caught every Pokemon in Pokemon Go using a landline phone.
These comments just keep getting better and better. Well done, nazi lobster.
😅 this 1 got me
How did you do this
'Private Pikachu. report your position!'
Legend says he fist fighted Mewtwo in his back yard while mowing the lawn.
It’s actually amazing how little patience Jocko has for Lex’s poetic sentimentality 😂
dude he seemed so over it with all the long questions haha
maybe he sees through the bullshit.. an interviewer should shut the fuck up and listen...
His brain is really slow so he has a lot of trouble to process all the data.
Lex came at Jocko in a way 95% wouldn’t just because he’s Jocko. Great minds here. Great interview, really shows the humbleness of this beast of a man.

jocko builds raindrops out grains of sand

Not a snowman, an iceman when the rain freezes in terror as Jocko glances at it.

Jocko is like a sin city caracther
Fucking brilliant … but true!

I think Lex should have phrased it "do you ponder about?"
Jocko doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the ground down.
Lex - "Does the old man still got it?"
Jocko - "Are you talking to me?"
I can't believe Lex had the balls to ask that question. I couldn't stop laughing. It's at an hour and thirty-three minutes into this interesting talk.
Lex looks like a nerd but is black belt jui jitsu hes no wheenie
@@amirmeiti Against Jocko, you bet he is.
@@amirmeiti
Lex is legit but would fo well to NEVER roll with Jocko
@@roman5782 of course the guys weighs a lot more and is a beast.
trying to provoke jocko with a cheap shot..fail.
18:33 fully engaged stare of death
In my opinion, this interview is a perfect example to why Lex is among the top interviewers in the world. His questions are so specific yet overlooked and never asked from other interviewers. The leadership case study was so interesting, I had to listen to it on loop a few times!
Thank you @Lex Fridman
01:33:00 best moment in podcast history
When Jocko takes a shower, he doesn’t turn it on. He stares at it till it cries
I feel like Lex is more tense in this interview, and confrontational stance. Can’t blame him, but Jocko’s a genuine sweetheart and has a lot more wisdom to share with us. Thank you :)
Yeah there's periods where lex doesn't make any eye contact whilst talking for minutes at a time
I would describe WAR and the fear of DEATH as follows:
When I went to war I got on a train. On this train everything was about making in through together, doing what must be done, taking no unnecessary risks. The moments I came in contact with death the fear I experienced was quickly overshadowed with making in through together, doing what must be done. After the war I got off the train on my peaceful, familiar and save station, where I got in the train five months earlier. Only then I had time for contemplating, and noticed that everything looked different.
jocko can make snow angels in solid concrete
Glad to see Jocko smiling in the thumbnail.
😂
I wish I could see Jocko's face while some of these questions are being struggled through.
Plain face. The sniper watches.
@@billlets5460 rofl!
God bless our veterans and all those who serve this nation and the sacrifices they have made to keep us alive
fuck yeah! Time to stop studying and take extreme ownership for not studying later on! hahahaha
Man, this interview was like oil and water.
I thought it was a good interview,though.Kind of awkward,if I'm being honest.
But I think that that was more because of Lex's interviewing style.
I liked how he didn't ask questions in a way to purposely get on Jocko's good side.
One of the things that concern me about A.I. or other 'autonomous' weapons doing the killing is that it becomes easier for the person doing the killing to disassociate themselves from the ethics of the act. It's easy to push a button in a room and turn a blind eye to the consequences.
This was intense.
Lex is the philosopher, Jocko is the soldier. Verbose v. Succint.
fascinating
Both of my favorite podcasters go into this cross-over conversation. My podcast app went beserk and I felt the shockwave of this gem by just reading the host and guest names. First time that I ever actually watch a full episode of Lex and Jocko on youtube instead of just listening to the podcast. This - is - a - weird - combo!
My brain spins in circles - good ...
It felt like lex was a kid asking a grownup a bunch of questions lol
Ha I felt like it was the other way around
Him sitting across from Jocko,it does comes across that way.
I didn't get this inpression at all John Paul.
I noticed that towards the middle and end of the podcast, both seemed to be having a much more comfortable time talking with each other.
Jocko should have brought Echo with him for this one. It would have flowed so much better.
Two Giants!!! Hope when the mat time comes, someone is filming it so we can all have a master class!!! Another fantastic podcast Lex!!!
Greatest intro. Of all time.
The first three minutes of this one are the most powerful. So good to see a grateful immigrant. Welcome, Lex. You are the type of New American my father and uncle fought and bled for in wars past.
Just listening to this guy makes me want to lift weights
Jocko steps in, and it's Jocko's channel now
The end cracked me up "Could be sooner than you think"
Lex, thank you for sharing at the beginning of this podcast. Thank you for loving and appreciating your adoptive country. It is a refreshing perspective compared to some of the immigration/border issues we are dealing with only 3 hours from my home in South Texas.
As to this country….my elementary school years were spent in the mid-1950’s to early 1960’s. We were taught to love our country, to appreciate its unique government structure, to love our brilliant Constitution, to appreciate our founding fathers even though flawed in some areas of character. We were taught to love our free and open elections, especially the privilege of casting a secret ballot so one could not be targeted by those who wanted you to vote other than you did. We knew this was not the practice in other places. Our fathers, grandfathers, uncles fought in WW2 and we loved them for it. We suffered with them through the PTS they experienced in our homes behind closed doors. We knew freedom came to us at great personal cost. For decades, it seems that our schools have taught our young ones not to cherish these things and to be hostile toward law and order. The education against communism is gone. But listening to younger Americans like you, this older woman has hope for the future of my grandchildren.
Mostly, my hope is in the God who influenced the very founding of this country. As Jordan Peterson points out so readily, our societal foundation is on Judeo-Christian principles and practices. We fail in wanting to dismiss the necessity of religion in grounding our communities in order and peace to insure ongoing prosperity of heart and life. Jesus plucked me from hopelessness and fills me with joy unspeakable as I live in His Life which He so freely brought me into over 50 years ago. May you someday know Him too. It would be the greatest capstone to your journey. ❤️
Lex saying how self critical he is to the point he hates everything he has done is so relatable. I feel confident in the things I do but looking back I often find it like I could've done this or said this to be better and it doesn't paralyze me but it makes me reflect so hard
Your preamble was first class, great interview too, keep up the great work
31:47
Lex: are you afraid of death?
Jocko: No.
this talk was epic. omfg. love how simple his answers are at times... sometimes, that's all you can just say.
"fun"
One thing I’ve learned, being apart of multiple startups in the “The Valley,” is that a leader should detox the culture from your presence. There really isn’t another word I can think of. The product is simply a byproduct of the culture. The purpose of making your bed is to simply start your day with contrary action. Most of your day should feel like contrary action. Happiness is that feeling when you put your head down on the pillow at the end of the day and you KNOW there is nothing else you could have done to make that day better. Strive for that feeling every night and you will live a life that you love. I know this because I have lived both. When people say how hard do you train I really don’t know what they mean. I’ve been very lucky to have been pushed when I was young there is really only 1 gear. This doesn’t mean I’m stretching vigorously on Sundays but I’m doing my best to get the MOST out of everything I do. Good stuff Lex.
“They are all manifestations of the human spirit, longing to strive for a better world”. You are a great American Lex.
