On JRE, GSP said he was so amazed with Lex as a person and he appreciates those who are experts or soon to be experts based on the curiosity that is never ending. He is a fan of Lex. This was two fans meeting each other.
Georges St-Pierre is not only an exceptional fighter, he came across as extremely intelligent, as well as honest and straight forward, in the conversation. Thanks Lex for the wonderful session.
He is very intelligent. That's why he never got caught with his PED use and was able to beat that BJJ guy by applying vaseline. He is an agile trickster!
GSP reminds me of old Joe where he was genuinely interested in hearing what the guest had to say and asked inquisitive questions. Now it feels like he is more interested in talking to people who agree with him.
@@ajwaddanwarr3409 That’s not true at all. Joe has had a very diverse group of guests. Actors, scientists, musicians, athletes etc etc with all sorts of political leanings, religious, non religious etc.
This is perhaps the most self-aware person I've heard speak at length. Even when he's talking about his accolades, it seems matter of fact instead of ego stroking
It's so funny how let down lex gets when fighters tell him a tie is a huge disadvantage. It's so dangerous that he thinks this is safe. For such a smart guy this is one thing he won't budge on and he's putting himself at such risk. I think he needs to roll with his tie on so he learns in a safe environment that he shouldn't wear a tie.
I think GSP is the first guest to successfully interview Lex for a section of this Podcast. George showed tremendous respect to Lex by genuinely letting Lex answer a few questions in long form. Fantastic guest!
Did you miss the elephant in the room? ..... George wore a black suit and tie, just for Lex. SInce when did you see GSP wearing suit and tie for a podcast.
The dialogue about free will blew my mind. The fighter (who does “mind over matter” for a living) argues in favor of fisicalism, and the engineer (who does “matter over mind” for a living) defends genuine free will. Even knowing who these two people are, it still is amazing... By the way, Lex, suffering is not sufficient, even though it might be necessary, as you often suggest (with a hint of Westworld). I strongly believe that fee will is a hardware problem.
Man, holy shit. What a time to be alive. I can watch a brilliant young AI scientist speak with the greatest mixed martial artist of all time. Truly blessed to see this in my feed. Can’t wait to watch this. Congrats and thank you for the content as always!
@@OhhSwapy it hits me in the feels because a person I knew for almost all my life betrayed me and I loved that person but now I don't answer the phone calls or talk to the person. Don't get me wrong I do pray for the person but I'll never talk to her again. Family or not.
That is a hell of an amazing podcast. “ I couldn’t love myself, so I changed myself to someone I could love” GSP. Two tough and intelligent men discussing life brilliantly yet casually! Loved it
Yeah, linguistic barriers suck! That's the same for me, I think my english is good for casual conversations, but when it comes to more difficult topics I feel a little bit limited honestly and it can be frustrating, that's why I'm working on improving my vocabulary
@@FightingSportsMedia I respect anyone who CAN. In school, took 2nd language but it was a decision based on where my mother came from and romanticized- nothing to do with the actual changing world and need to communicate within it's future. VERY hard (impossible for many) to learn when you age.
People that speak English as second language with decent fluency, do not translate from their own language to English while they speak. That's what beginner learners do. After a while you just memorize new words and language rules, and start using them effortlessly.
Honestly this is the first guest I've heard you've had I feel like who is generally curious and wants to learn from you as much as you want to learn from him. It's refreshing
It's like Lex is nerding out because he gets to ask an mma legend questions, but Georges is nerding out even more because he gets to ask a scientist questions.
One thing I like about the interview is how humble and curious GSP is. Even though he’s an accomplished fighter and in a great financial position, you can tell that he wants to develop himself as a person by learning more. Most people who have already achieved things aren’t like that, which makes me respect him even more.
Think man. He got to the top..then went for being one of the greats. And succeeded. Its no surprise that he's like that lol. And usually people who achieve alot..keep achieving in some way. I feel like thats obvious. Its no shock that let's say conor mcgeror is on his way to being a billionaire.
If I remember correctly the first time he was on JRE he had been on a several week paleontology dig , scraping up fossils and studying…. So he definitely wants to improve himself

@@dansrod5952exactly. Not everyone who achieved a great thing in life (or multiple) is like what this girl said. Gsp is refreshing in that sense. Conor mcgregor is only concerned about his ego. Wants more money and fame, doesn't have much respect or decency. He even doesn't fight for his legacy anymore. Whereas GSP is looking for enlightment, to be a better person. World of difference
At this point Lex is like how Rogan was during 2012-2015; variety of guests, not too popular but popular enough to give me nostalgia to those old Rogan days.
Am I the only one who is aware of the amount of laureate guests?? Am I really that much of a geek? Quick, someone give me a cigarette or a pair of sunglasses fast!
One big difference between Lex and Rogan is that Rogan would go off on tangents from his past and short-comings to inspire people to not make the same mistakes and to live a life that's worth living. But I do like Lex's positivity and message of love as well.
I had the pleasure of spending the day with Georges. Years ago when I was an MMA fight promoter. We brought in Georges as a special guest for the show and he gave the absolute best BJJ seminar the day of. I’ve met tons of people in MMA from Dana White to legends like Dan Henderson, Wand and others. Georges was by FAR the greatest. Great with the fans. Humble. Engaged. Totally respectful and this was when he was literally sitting on top of the MMA world. I watched him work with a young man, disabled. He spent half an hour teaching this kid how to pass the guard. He really cared that the kid learned it and you could tell. If my kid idolized GSP I’d be thrilled. He’s everything a true martial artist should aspire to be.
I believe it! Maybe ten or twelve years ago I was having breakfast at a small spot in Montreal and noticed GSP having breakfast alone (?!) at a corner table in the back. Because I could not resist, I went over and began by apologizing for interrupting his meal. Talk about a gentleman! He set down his fork to listen, and I waited for him to finish his mouthful. I said what I had to say, he thanked me and gave me a big smile, and I let him finish his breakfast. Classy guy.
One of the greatest atheletes of all time, not because of the performance in sport alone, but his personality, intelligence and role model he provides.
I have attempted to meditate many times in my life and prior to this CD the only success I've experienced is with live guided meditation. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq This is the first CD I've used that cuts through my unmedicated ADHD and enables me to truly relax and experience a quiet and energizing interval. The instructors voice is very soothing and pleasant to listen to. I am easily able to sit successfully through the entire CD, and for quite some time after. I cannot adequately express how tremendously helpful this CD has been on my spiritual journey!! Two thumbs up and 10 stars!
I think Georges biggest skill is being able to look from different perspectives at all the different stages of his life and picking the truth, sticking to it and then accomplish his goals through hard work. Truly inspiring human being. George "The Truth" St. Pierre
I cannot believe that was 2h 45min. When you ended the podcast I thought to myself "Oh man they should have done more than just an hour". What a pleasure to listen to, thank you.
@@nugzila4170 He's average lol, uses 4 sentences when he could use one... once you get that, it makes him look more stupid. I talk french from Montreal too
George got very happy when the conversation moved away from MMA, and towards deeper topics. You can tell he found it really refreshing to be asked to discuss something other than fighting, like most of his other interviews. Awesome podcast like usual Lex, Oss 😎
@@sonderexpeditions there are documentaries you can find on Connor Mcgregor or Ronda Rousey (two people who grew the sport and made it popular) on Netflix. It will give you a background and a backstage of what goes on with fighters preparation during a fight that might get you interested. I honestly suggest also to watch the live fights on Espn. It comes on like every Saturday night. You might enjoy it 😁
English is eazy to learn...and he also lives in multicultural canada...not amazing...but yes, i have seen alot french that does not know or dont want to know english
Why wouldn't he answer in English? Speaking only a bastardized form of French would leave him with an audience of perhaps a couple million. Don't try and start with the French stuff.
@@brianpruden6576 u clearly didnt understand what I wrote but u also dont sound very smart 💁 same with the other dude before u, a retired french canadian (at the moment I wrote my comment) still doing english interview for the fans is something we appreciate. U must be so sad in your life to find negativity where there is none.
I'm in nursing school, listening to GSP talk about the upfront sacrifices and the digging deep and the coming up and the going down and digging deeper and the holding on and the holding on. "You going to make it" I may or may not have a tear in my eye. I felt every word. 59:14
@@vikingmma All good. Must say, this Russian-American chap, for all his cheesy talk about beauty in all things, has grown on me to the point where his is the first podcast I check every week. Long may he prosper.
This guy has einstein level combat IQ. This also include fight preparation. His techniques are very interresting and I'm sure that they are use by other athletes.
Being a Canadian from Eastern Ontario, I recognized Georges' Quebecois accent immediately. Quebec has produced many remarkable athletes and Georges is at the top. Salut, Georges, and thank you.
I like that Georges combined fun and smart, it reminded me of how messy yet joyful life can be at times. Not to say that I'm most likely going to engage in martial arts, but it's great to have someone with experience talk about it.
GSP is the truest reincarnation of Bruce Lee in Mixed Martial Arts today.. he’s a true Martial Artist! A real warrior 👊🏽 RESPECT to you GSP, you’re an inspiration brother!
It was really a great moment when Lex responded to GSP’s long explanation of knowing when an opponent has resigned themselves to defeat & then Lex talks about not being able to keep eye contact in evolutionary psychology
What an incredible human being he is, I love the sparkle he has for life- you can see it so brightly in his eyes! Brilliant episode, Lex, and thank you for all your brilliance!
We can talk about who the GOAT in MMA is all the time. But GSP is not just a fighter, he is the epitome of a true martial artist in my opinion. A philosopher who has mastered physical combat.
He's a mediocre philosopher lol, if you can even call him that. He is unsure of his own existence when he says that "free will is an illusion". Why bother making right choices if it's an illusion? Typical deterministic attitude..
What a great guest. I really liked the bit about pre fight fear and anxiety and how candid he was about confronting that and overcoming it. Very humbling and admirable
Amazing one of the best interviews I've seen in a very long time 2 men haveing a real conversation . No one cutting the other off in mid convo it's refreshing .
So inspiring to hear that someone who has become so successful also has had to deal with those demons I feel as a regular person. It makes you feel there isn’t too much wrong with you. I trained for a Muay Thai fight and felt all those same self doubts GSP talks about, how you have to override those doubts with deliberate positive thoughts and back your training. The parallels it has with life is no different.
GSP plays warzone with us. He hasn’t been on the last couple days because he was training and interviewing. We miss you George, get back on so we can do some island quads
Georges is such a down to earth guy. I'm not even a fan of MMA and I would love to just sit with him and talk about dinosaurs or UFO's or some shit. Also, I really enjoy your interviews Lex. Great work.
I love GSP. He’s my favourite fighter of all time, a childhood hero, a fellow east coast Canadian, he inspires hope and motivation, he’s very smart, funny and technical, similar interests outside of MMA and to hear him speak about fighting in such a scientific way is always fascinating. Great interview! I subbed
I’m almost done listening to all your videos and I know I’m just going to cycle back through them a second time once I’ve finished. You’re absolutely brilliant!!! You give me life!!!! :)
I stumbled on this channel by chance and heard this guest speak by chance, all for the first time but I'm really satisfied with what these two talk about. They are two deep souls. The host also participates in real talk and exchange, a real conversation instead of just asking questions only and get the answers, as in most interviews.
Thanks so much for this interview. Pierre has always been my fav. Seeing him brought back happy memories as a kid with my brother watching Pierre on the big screen. ☺️
As a Canadian I’m a Proud he Represented Canada in the Ring. He will be remembered as GSP the One who did it first, the Wayne Greztky of the Octogon. The Best of the Best. GSP.
What an absolute class act. Unflinchingly honest about many things most fighters would never open up about. When someone is truly dominate in their field they are rarely humble… many try to appear humble, few genuinely are.
Mr George St Pierre est un model pour tous les jeunes combattants aspirants .Un homme humble , dédié , respectueux et , surtout un maitre accompli dans l'art de la guerre . C'est un réel plaisir de l'écouter converser avec Lex . Chapeau bas
GSP is just so unique in the fighting world. This interview is so good because neither person is trying to dominate it and both listen to the other person talk without interrupting each other.
I’m glad you had an opportunity to interview GSP I love this guy and what he represents. It was a real pleasure to listen to this podcast. A great man forge by the experience of life, and honestly who couldn’t fall in love with this simple man with such a rich experience. Thanks again and the best to GSP. 👍
Outstanding interview Lex, keep them coming. Gratitude for bringing the insights of yourself and a growing ensemble of remarkable characters into all our lives

2) He doesn't knocked you out, he makes you "out of order".
3) He learned the frame data of real fighters like its fucking Tekken.

GSP is just so eloquent in his expression of ideas and his intellect, that he could easily be called the Richard Feinman or Carl Sagan of MMA world.
He seems like a highly intelligent person.
More like the Elon Musk of MMA.
He used his brain, not his body, to be on the mount Rushmore of MMA
That’s incredibly insulting to RF and CS lmao
@@nugzila4170 He's average lol, uses 4 sentences when he could use one... once you get that, it makes him look more stupid. I talk french from Montreal too
A gem of a person you are GSP.
George got very happy when the conversation moved away from MMA, and towards deeper topics. You can tell he found it really refreshing to be asked to discuss something other than fighting, like most of his other interviews.
Awesome podcast like usual Lex, Oss 😎
George is also in the Falcon and the Winter Soldier! Love him!
He is Batroc the Leaper, appeared first on Cap Winter soldier movie.
That's the one!
I knew I recognized the face on the thumbnail. I know basically nothing about UFC and the Fighting scene, but this podcast was awesome!
I need to start watching MMA. The way these guys talk about it is fascinating.
Great art to it. I started watching 3 years ago, and I found out there’s more to it than two people beating each other up.
@@swizzcc is it on Netflix?
@@sonderexpeditions there are documentaries you can find on Connor Mcgregor or Ronda Rousey (two people who grew the sport and made it popular) on Netflix. It will give you a background and a backstage of what goes on with fighters preparation during a fight that might get you interested. I honestly suggest also to watch the live fights on Espn. It comes on like every Saturday night. You might enjoy it 😁
@@swizzcc I will for sure. I'd also like to watch this Khabib guy. 👌🏾😊
@@sonderexpeditions Khabib retired a couple months ago, but you can watch quite a few of his fights on youtube I think.
Just the fact that GSP is still doing interview in english is amazing. Thank you for everything, you're the best GSP 🇨🇦
English is eazy to learn...and he also lives in multicultural canada...not amazing...but yes, i have seen alot french that does not know or dont want to know english
Why wouldn't he answer in English? Speaking only a bastardized form of French would leave him with an audience of perhaps a couple million. Don't try and start with the French stuff.
@@brianpruden6576 u clearly didnt understand what I wrote but u also dont sound very smart 💁 same with the other dude before u, a retired french canadian (at the moment I wrote my comment) still doing english interview for the fans is something we appreciate. U must be so sad in your life to find negativity where there is none.
I'm in nursing school, listening to GSP talk about the upfront sacrifices and the digging deep and the coming up and the going down and digging deeper and the holding on and the holding on. "You going to make it" I may or may not have a tear in my eye. I felt every word.
59:14
I love how you can't hide your excitement when talking about how Joe and George conspired to make you feel special.
What?
Time stamp
It's during the introduction to the podcast. First few minutes.
@@lauchlanmccutcheon1716 thanks bud
@@vikingmma All good. Must say, this Russian-American chap, for all his cheesy talk about beauty in all things, has grown on me to the point where his is the first podcast I check every week. Long may he prosper.
One of the best episodes ever, GSP is amazing. His perspectives on combatting fear and confidence as an elite athlete in combat sports is incredible.
This guy has einstein level combat IQ. This also include fight preparation. His techniques are very interresting and I'm sure that they are use by other athletes.
Call him “Flex” Friedman with that “I’ve only done 22 miles” flex
Being a Canadian from Eastern Ontario, I recognized Georges' Quebecois accent immediately. Quebec has produced many remarkable athletes and Georges is at the top. Salut, Georges, and thank you.
I like that Georges combined fun and smart, it reminded me of how messy yet joyful life can be at times. Not to say that I'm most likely going to engage in martial arts, but it's great to have someone with experience talk about it.
I would totally recommend trying them!!!
I clicked faster than his super man punch
That's humanly impossible.
Same brother haha
Me too
GSP is the truest reincarnation of Bruce Lee in Mixed Martial Arts today.. he’s a true Martial Artist!
A real warrior 👊🏽 RESPECT to you GSP, you’re an inspiration brother!
The most self-aware and wisest mma fighter there is. Hands down the greatest. Amazing interview, thanks a ton Lex.
It was really a great moment when Lex responded to GSP’s long explanation of knowing when an opponent has resigned themselves to defeat & then Lex talks about not being able to keep eye contact in evolutionary psychology
I love how you’re changing up topics on the podcast Lex. Keep doing interesting things like this!
GSP is a GOAT!
GSP is one of the only reason why I'm proud to be from Québec.
That's sad...
@@dianeaustin2414 I agree but it is true.... Québec has lost all of it's core values as a nation...
What an incredible human being he is, I love the sparkle he has for life- you can see it so brightly in his eyes!
Brilliant episode, Lex, and thank you for all your brilliance!
I must say, it really amazes me how how well-informed George is on the topics of AI, robotics, UFO's and previous podcast guests. Great interview!
We can talk about who the GOAT in MMA is all the time. But GSP is not just a fighter, he is the epitome of a true martial artist in my opinion. A philosopher who has mastered physical combat.
He's a mediocre philosopher lol, if you can even call him that. He is unsure of his own existence when he says that "free will is an illusion". Why bother making right choices if it's an illusion? Typical deterministic attitude..
@@markgregsputnik7288 Free will certainly is an illusion. Don't you follow science? Genetics and epigenetics are in control my friend, not you.
@@markgregsputnik7288 your life must be so miserable 🤣
What a great guest. I really liked the bit about pre fight fear and anxiety and how candid he was about confronting that and overcoming it. Very humbling and admirable
GSP is not only cemented as one of the best of all time, but also looks like a complete and total badass in a suit. What a legend.
Premier Québécois sur le podcast ? Legend.
Yoshua Bengio
@@ducanidaho Yoshua vit a Montréal mais il vient de la France me semble.
@@xavierreigneau6273 non il vient d’hochelaga, Montréal!
Vive le Québec Libre!
Everytime I hear a Quebecois speaking in english, I feel so bad to hear what I sound like when speaking english.
But the interview is good
Yes the goat on the podcast, a must watch
Loved your work in the cell games ! Huge fan
The opposite of love is forgetting... man this is why I love this podcast
This is truly one of the best podcast episodes I have ever seen. Top 3 with out a doubt.
Never clicked so fast!
Me neither 😂
Never hit Like so fast either
1st minute in and Lex is just giving the intro and it already gives me goosebumps! So happy for your success brother. Much love!
Amazing one of the best interviews I've seen in a very long time 2 men haveing a real conversation . No one cutting the other off in mid convo it's refreshing .
So inspiring to hear that someone who has become so successful also has had to deal with those demons I feel as a regular person. It makes you feel there isn’t too much wrong with you. I trained for a Muay Thai fight and felt all those same self doubts GSP talks about, how you have to override those doubts with deliberate positive thoughts and back your training. The parallels it has with life is no different.
GSP plays warzone with us. He hasn’t been on the last couple days because he was training and interviewing. We miss you George, get back on so we can do some island quads
Gsp is my uncle. He comes round to my house every Sunday for a barbecue. See it’s that easy to make a lie
@@bestshortclips18 Who doesn’t love a big boi bbq?
@@bestshortclips18 So that's why he never plays on Sundays...
What else are you going to do in your hotel room at night on thr road
GSP refused to fight in the age of juicers.... Why you think he'd game in the land of cheaters?
I've been waiting on this one for so long, I heard he was on lex fridmans podcast on Joe's podcast and ive kept checking every day lol finally! Lmao
Georges is such a down to earth guy. I'm not even a fan of MMA and I would love to just sit with him and talk about dinosaurs or UFO's or some shit. Also, I really enjoy your interviews Lex. Great work.
I love GSP. He’s my favourite fighter of all time, a childhood hero, a fellow east coast Canadian, he inspires hope and motivation, he’s very smart, funny and technical, similar interests outside of MMA and to hear him speak about fighting in such a scientific way is always fascinating. Great interview! I subbed
Einstein level combat IQ. When they were talking about the fighters looking themselves in the eye and reading their opponent. Love it
I’m almost done listening to all your videos and I know I’m just going to cycle back through them a second time once I’ve finished. You’re absolutely brilliant!!! You give me life!!!! :)
this is one of the best podcasts he has done so far George is such a great guest with some amazing experiences to share
I stumbled on this channel by chance and heard this guest speak by chance, all for the first time but I'm really satisfied with what these two talk about. They are two deep souls. The host also participates in real talk and exchange, a real conversation instead of just asking questions only and get the answers, as in most interviews.
Both gsp and and lex are such humble and respectful human beings.
Who need Joe Rogan on Spotifi when we can get this.
@@dixonhill1108 same idk why but i dont enjoy Joe Rogan any more compared to other podcast hosts
One of the greatest interviews with an athlete, ever! Thank you and great job Lex.
Hands down one of the best interviews I’ve watched ever. You went into so many diverse topics with GSP.
Love this guy, so honest in sharing his knowledge.
April 26 is St. George's Day in Newfoundland, Canada. Maybe, all of Canada should celebrate George St-Pierre Day too?
Yeah and on that day everyone goes out and has a gsp style fight. Good idea man.
Heck yeah! This is legendary. Thanks for having him on!
I love listening to these two guys speak, what a pleasure it is to have this type of content at our fingertips
“What is a perfect day in the life” is a super underrated question. We should be asking each other that more. Great episode right here.
Thanks so much for this interview. Pierre has always been my fav. Seeing him brought back happy memories as a kid with my brother watching Pierre on the big screen. ☺️
Getting tapped like a white belt by Hughes!!!! Hahahahaha.
One of the longest podcasts I've seen. Didnt get bored once. Thanks.
GSP's approach to fighting is so scientific. Amazing. He is the GOAT for me. he has the compassion as well that is sadly lacking in many fighters.
As a Canadian I’m a Proud he Represented Canada in the Ring.
He will be remembered as GSP the One who did it first, the Wayne Greztky of the Octogon. The Best of the Best.
GSP.
Lex, podcasts like this allow me to reflect and really think about where I wanna be in the future. You guys are exceptional role models! Thank you 🤙🏽
I love how intellectually curious and open GSP is. At times he started interviewing Lex. This has been great all the way through.
Its soo comforting to know that even GSP goes through much anxiety. !! Thank you!
What an absolute class act. Unflinchingly honest about many things most fighters would never open up about. When someone is truly dominate in their field they are rarely humble… many try to appear humble, few genuinely are.
I've been waiting for another interview with a fighter, and this has exceeded all my wishes!!! You're the man Lex, can't wait to watch.
this is one of the deepest and engaging interview. Great thanks to both of you Lex and George.
Ever since rogan and Spotify deal happened his pod aint the same. Lex don't sell out. You're the best pod rn for me.
Exactly
Mr George St Pierre est un model pour tous les jeunes combattants aspirants .Un homme humble , dédié , respectueux et , surtout un maitre accompli dans l'art de la guerre . C'est un réel plaisir de l'écouter converser avec Lex . Chapeau bas
Was waiting for this podcast since GSP mentioned he was with Lex on JRE. Excited!!!
One of my favorite channels, thanks for what you do man.
GSP is just so unique in the fighting world. This interview is so good because neither person is trying to dominate it and both listen to the other person talk without interrupting each other.
I’m glad you had an opportunity to interview GSP I love this guy and what he represents. It was a real pleasure to listen to this podcast. A great man forge by the experience of life, and honestly who couldn’t fall in love with this simple man with such a rich experience. Thanks again and the best to GSP. 👍
GSP is such a great role model. Thank you Lex for putting on this great podcast!
This is why GSP is one of my top 5 favorite athletes/public figures.
GSP is such an empath and thats why we love him. Lex is the right temperament to get the best from him. Great interview guys. Love from New Zealand x
What an incredible podcast. I wish I had the time to listen to all of Lex's episodes.
thank you both for this! two men in their element and looking like a million bucks!
Gsp is really a great individual. And Lex, you're fascinating. Thanks for the podcasts and the ideas and reflections you bring us. 👍
Outstanding interview Lex, keep them coming.
Gratitude for bringing the insights of yourself and a growing ensemble of remarkable characters into all our lives
