Joe Rogan Experience #1422 - Lex Fridman

go three two one lex handsome as ever thank you well dressed always feel like a
slob when i'm
around you do you dress like that in real life or only when you do podcasts
yeah so i have two
outfits this and black shirt and jeans slick outfit there's nothing nothing
more classic
than a dark suit with a white shirt and a black tie is that a black tie or is
it a dark blue
black tie black tie black suit black tie it's armor yes makes me feel uh like
focuses the mind
like a professional yeah like i'm taking this seriously yes yes yes like you're
you're
for real man you got notes and shit yeah i got notes and shit but i but given
this suit like i
like to get like dirty like i like to work in a car or whatever like i don't
want to like i love to get
the fight in this it's this isn't like me trying to protect myself from the
from the messiness of
the real world oh i understand this is just just looks good it just makes you
feel like you're
professional is it um flexible like you know they make clothes that are flex
yeah you can move in it
i can move in it oh that's nice and i can i mean uh you showed me how you can
choke me last time
with the tie did you get a breakaway tie no i didn't but you know i kind of i
kind of let you
have that one because i think i can defend it pretty well well you're probably
very good at
defending jokes yeah no no front would like with the tie i don't have a system
yet i'll have to
talk to john danaher to develop a tie but all you have to do man is just take
the back of the tie
cut it put a little piece of velcro in each end you got the same tie that's not
no but i think
you going under the tie to try to start the choke actually i mean you're making
yourself vulnerable
like maybe it's an arm bar or something like that like i think there's a silly
don't be silly well
listen if someone grabs a hold of your collar that's the same thing like ezekiel
chokes are
deadly yeah but it's not over yeah if you sink it in but it's so it collars are
a real problem
right in jujitsu yeah they're a real problem if someone gets deep on your
collar like even on this
with a suit right someone starts doing this man you're fucked not good not good
collars are not
good if you go deep if you get in deep yeah yeah well the problem with that is
it's a handle it's
worse than a collar because i'll get underneath that knot and i'll grab a hold
of that bitch and then
it's all just twisting yeah but it's you have to you're right i would have to
get it i'd have to get
and you also kind of have to hold on to this part because it can loosen
naturally unless you're really
good at like because it loosens does it yeah it loosens naturally there's a
system to this i think
you haven't thought through this so you don't think i have dude i'm trying to
choke people with ties
on just friends yeah i'm like let me grab a hold of that tie real quick what
happens if i do this
yeah no no not jujitsu people and also it's probably a joke yeah if i was
fighting for my
life i think it'd be different but sure you're a tough guy you are actually
trained martial artists
i mean i'm not saying it would be easy to grab your tie and choke you to death
what i'm saying is
it's one more area of vulnerability that doesn't need to exist but see i'm
disagreeing with you and
saying like if i was gonna fight to the death i would wear the suit okay
because i would look good
let me tell you something about cia agents and secret service guys they wear
breakaway ties
that's because they're not good martial artists oh that's not true there's a
lot of those guys are
savages are they oh yeah man blue belts no black belts man if you're a fucking
if you're a secret
service guy you're supposed to be protecting the president i guarantee you a
bunch of those guys
are savages i think they're smart enough to use guns that too yeah but they don't
you know if they
have to wear a tie a lot of people like to wear breakaway ties is that a fact
mm-hmm i might be
making this up right i think that's a bro no i know but it's it's a little bro
fact but only like 10
i think let's google breakaway ties for self-defense because um dude look i'm
definitely a dummy right
okay i think about this stuff too much but when i was uh driving limos i always
felt super vulnerable
when i had to wear that tie it looks good though my one of my uh actually my
first album my first real
album that i ever did for warner brothers was in 1999 and i wore exactly that
outfit i wore a black
suit with a white shirt and a white and a black tie and it looked dope yeah it's
called i'm gonna be
dead someday look at that breakaway tie like a stand-up like uh look at that
breakaway tie son
low pro breakaway tie whoa that's what i'm wearing let me explain you something
come get some most people
when they're vulnerable like say i'm afraid i'm gonna be picked on by bullies i
learned a martial
art how to defend myself yes you when you felt vulnerable wearing a tie decided
not to wear a tie
as opposed to learn how to defend yourself while wearing a tie there must be a
system i guarantee you
there's sure you could you could say that um you could defend yourself if you
had a dog collar around
your neck too but i wouldn't recommend it i wouldn't recommend it i took my dog
out once
i had a pit bull and he bit my cat he grabbed a hold of my cat it's a terrible
story i had a crazy
dog one one of my dogs was a um dog that i had gotten it was i was young and
irresponsible in my 20s
and i got in this dog that was um bred from a pig hunting dog in hawaii wow and
those dogs are hyper
animal aggressive they're great with people he was great with people he loved
people but everything
that moved he was like locked in on he would spend his days in my yard chasing
lizards his thing was
to jump up on the wall of the house and try to snatch lizards it was like a
video game for him
and uh my friend eddie was terrified of this dog hey bravo yeah and so eddie
would come over the
house and frank would just decide that he runs when eddie's around because eddie
was so scared of him
he'd be like hmm i think i'm gonna kill this cat so he just just tried to kill
my cat and i got a hold
of him in time and i i got my hand into his collar and i choked him unconscious
like on top of his head
like that yeah i just dug behind yeah from behind i just dug my hand under his
collar and i twisted
and i put him to sleep he went right out it's crazy yeah it works works on dogs
yeah maybe from the i wasn't thinking from the back i was thinking from the
front but from the
anywhere you can grab a dog collar if you get your hand in there if you're
strong enough and you have
good technique you know how to go knee on belly and then you twist it you can
put a dog to sleep
well you're changing my mind see yeah but i don't know i mean look obviously
you're going to be aware
of that and you're going to defend and you're good but it's a it's an area of
vulnerability right pull up 1990 and
pull up i'm going to be dead someday the cover of that because i'm literally
dressed exactly like
you on the cover or when actually doing the show no i never wore it doing a
show i think i just wore it
for the cover almost ironically no i kind of like the way it looked just you
know there it is bam
it's hard to tell there because it's that one's orange and the other one's hot
pink but it's like
the the the the shirt collar is a little more open like like you don't give a
damn um well that was a
long day and there was a long photo shoot we were drinking yeah it was a lot of
chaos involved that's
legit that there's legit there was a lot a lot of stuff going on there but it
was um just to just i
just i like that look it's a good look by the way congratulations on the 10
years oh thank you very
much i don't think you've celebrated probably all i see is on jamie's instagram
uh like a naked picture
of burt that's the 10-year picture yeah we probably should do something it was
december was officially
10 years so it was two months ago probably should have some sort of a party or
something i know you
don't like to talk about it think about it but you've inspired millions um it's
very nice it's very
it's a very nice side effect but it's a it's a weird gig man you know and it's
it's a it's a gig
that became what it is slowly without me understanding what was happening while
it was happening which
makes it weirder and weirder and with it has come increasingly like stronger
levels of responsibility
to where you know now i have to actually vet guests and think about what they're
saying whereas before
i would have someone on if they're crazy i was like let that crazy on let's
hear what he has to
say and people would say a lot of crazy and then they would say oh you know
you didn't push back or you had this person on and they they said something
irresponsible and i had
no idea what they were going to say there's a lot of people that have said some
pretty outrageous
things that i had no idea they were going to say yeah i saw the like i started
one of the
things you inspired me to do is to start a podcast on artificial intelligence
and i have uh jack dorsey
as a guest coming up aha and that's a good example of somebody you got like an
insane amount of pushback
yes because they were mad that i didn't talk to him about censorship my my take
on it was
it was uh certainly irresponsible on my part the first podcast because my take
on it was i just want to
see what it's like to be a guy that starts this thing and it becomes probably
one of the most
important conversation tools the world's ever known and also along the way
becomes you know it becomes
something weird like right now it's weird like twitter now it's just this it's
just 50 hot dumpster fire
you know it's so much amazing inspiring stuff like you can you can always find
the dumpster fire in
all kinds of conversations yes and the confusing thing to me about your
conversation with jack which
i didn't look at the internet before i listened to it and i really enjoyed it
that was interesting i
learned a lot from your first conversation with jack and like and then i looked
at the internet and that
told me i'm supposed to hate that conversation and what i'm confused about is
why why there's such
like why is there such hatred thrown towards uh i also talked to the head of
the youtube ahead of the
youtube algorithm search and discovery a lot of hate towards youtube a lot of
hate towards twitter a lot
towards facebook and deservedly so there's some challenges and so on but they're
doing like an incredible
service and the algorithm they're trying to develop and control is really hard
to develop and control
yes so for sure so the pushback that people get it's almost like they're
ignoring they're um
they're taking specific anecdotal pieces of evidence or look this person said
this and it's um
it's not that problematic in our eyes but they somehow got censored from the
platform removed from the
platform and they don't look at the bigger picture of how challenging the
entirety of it is
and how incredible first of all the incredible incredible the platform is to
have a conversation
like a global conversation like this and how hard it is to do to achieve the
goal of having it sounds
like cheesy but having like a healthy conversation a healthy discourse because
you want an algorithm
and a platform that removes the assholes from the scene because it's a really
difficult challenge because
you want this is one person who's really loud who's screaming in the room like
comes to the party you
have a cool party a bunch of cool people some communists some right-wingers
whatever it doesn't
matter they can all disagree but they're not assholes they're there to have a
like interesting debate
conversation and so on and then there's somebody that comes with like a and
just starts screaming
like one like slogan or something like that or is trying is trolling is
completely sort of non-genuine in
their way of communication they're destroyin
