Hey Lex, please Google England's nursery as there is a Ukrainian and a Russian fruit that I grow an orchard full of.... You might want to interview Mr England, at the least ask him about a roseyanka Persimmons
Bro take it easy with the ads. This was impossible to listen to
Please interview: Rabbi Elhanan Beck, George Galloway, Ilan Pappe, Christopher Bollyn, Mohammed El-Kurd (part 2)
I believe rap is a great tool for making an impact on earth. I am a songwriter and would love to hear your thoughts on my wokrs.
I really think you are a beautiful bright person that rarely comes along in life much less exist to break barriers to be accessible…. I can’t empathize your position in life but will make wild assumption based upon limited logic…. Please reach outside of your comfort zone of people. Like talk to people you fear . From by economic ecosystem I can’t understand what your interests are interviewing Tucker, Grimes, Kimbal, and Kayne are. I listen to Tucker and there is no one who can hold him accountable for disagreeing with him or anyone else… so they sound reasonable. Please don’t interview ppl who “use to be in the CIA”… like interview real people like real people making real differences…. How do you find them? I dunno LinkedIn? Your center of access gets more narrow as you go up… kinnda sounds lonely…. Find new people man. Like interview the guy from Iron Maiden or Hank Green or the lead singer from Rage Against the Machine… fuck Gwar would be awesome or the man who does School of Life(Brilliant BRILLIANT man). Please Lex
Just wanted to show some appreciation Lex for making it about Kimbal and his life, and not just interviewing him solely as Elon’s brother. Respect. Other interviewers didnt do this
Very nicely said....
Same! Very great comment! Lex is a class act!
Love it!
Genuine, nice guy with his own set of noteworthy accomplishments. His intuition and attention to detail and overall concience is admirable.
pretty crazy thing to say about a guy that was mates with Epstein
My Overoverovergod
Kimbal is defintely the Yang to his brother's Yin. They love each other, have similar values, yet look at life differently. It works well.
lol, both are full of shit
It's the other way around, Elon is the yang and Kimbal the yin ;-)
@@aline_m_1976I'm fine with that.
I worked for The kitchen for just over four years. As a young cook it was the perfect experience. It was my first “real” cooking job. Cool to see this interview. Thank you Lex
My Overoverovergod
I really like this guy. He seems to be a beautiful soul. His family&friends must feel truly blessed,to have him in their lives.🥰
He is also (from my understanding) working to have Colorado be the first digital currency state which will make it a lot easier to control people’s actions by controlling their access to their money.
I once told my father that the only thing he ever taught me was what kind of person not to be. The trauma does indeed permeate through time, but I consider it a valuable gift that helped build my character.
Wow so dramatic.
I agree, but unfortunately this was for both parents.
@ziloj-perezivat did you take personal offense? Outing yourself a bit there mate
Yeah when my daughter said she doesnt want to me like me I had to send in the paramilitary groups to take her to Siberia@@calebwilliams586
@@ziloj-perezivat clown
Kimbal, Kimbal, Kimbal...Not what I expected. What a truly sweet and kind, nice guy. OMG-food...Just cut it out. I am slobbering while you guys talked. The peach talk is killing me. Men and talking about peaches, it can't get better than this. Way to go Lex. Lovely conversations and lovely thoughts about being a human being and inter-relating with each other. Just sweet and endearing.
He has the Elon laugh. I love it.
And the style of speech as well. They both have these short stops
It’s their dads laugh
that's how rich people laugh
@@rakishlyaskew with that reasoning how would a poor person laugh?
You Sir, you stole my comment from my head! I just wanted to write that 😂 But it's okay.
Wow Kimbal comes across as such a genuine life loving person. Great interview!
My Overoverovergod
Такой интересный брат у Илона МАСКА! Юность видна в любом разговоре, как будто ему всегда 20 лет.Thank you.
Love what kind of energy Kimbal brings out in Lex. I think it’s pretty underestimated from the outside what role Kimbal has played in Tesla and SpaceX’s successes, he looks like a guy who can really lift a team up. Thanks for the conversation 🙏🏻
Fantastic interview. Kimbal is insightful, humble, and real. Thanks Lex.
He seems like a butthurt weasel.
I really enjoyed this one, I needed an interview like this that gives me more hope in these strange times. I love his positivity! Him and his brother seem so alike yet perfectly different. I felt like I got to know him and his brother much better in this podcast. In a way that strengthens my faith in the people fighting for a brighter future! Lex really brings out the best in his guests in a way that is so unique to him. I admire how comfortable he makes his guests. I watch a lot of different podcasts and Lex is one of the best at his job!
I met Kimbal a few years ago on a cruise called Summit at Sea and he seemed really decent. He was really all about the family table and I've taken that with me. Truly.
I was all about minimizing suffering in our food sources and he seemed really receptive about it ❤
I love learning about Kimbal. I thinks he's a beautiful man, a deeply loving brother, and very generous human, among so many additional wonderful things! He earned every bit of his success. If you think his road has been easy, then you don't know enough about him.
So happy to enjoy this latest podcast!
✨💕✨💕✨💕
If you love learning about him your going to love learning about his ties to jeffrey epstein
South Africa today is a warzone and johannesburg currently has no stable electricity, as i write this, the taps have run dry and have not been running for 24hours :)
Where in Johannesburg. I'm in Johannesburg and I have water ?
closer to eastgate, but if you look online people are experiencing outages for hours or days, in random places and without warning, yet the media is not making other johannesburg residents aware of this creeping problem.
also please be aware that downplaying any problem we have in this country simply because you live in an area rich enough to not be affected is also a bit troublesome , only as strong as our weakest links. @@georgemujuru1232
South Afr!ca is the gu!nea p!g going back 29 years...
What's going on over there? Sorry to hear that brother love from US stay vigilant.
Matthew McConaughey at home:
Alright alright alright!
🤣🤣🤣
Ok, ok, ok… 😎
No son, we have Matthew McConaughey at home
Bruh!!! 💀
The story that Kimbal tells is haunting... I can't even fatham the terror, and fear of these kinds of experiences. 😮
For students that are interested in the painting business Kimbal learned from the U.S. based version is College Works Painting. Great experience for students interested in entrepreneurship or business skill development.
I had a great experience with great people here!
I did this internship 4 years ago! I learned a lot from that experience and met a lot of great people!
Loved my experience with this program! I learned more about business than any class I took in college
This internship set me up for success!! I had the best experience!
I love this interaction, it expresses the inner depths of of Kimball's views on his formative years. Reminds me a bit of my own childhood. ❤ This.
Kimbal is a great guy and as perfect of a brother Elon could hope for. A fun, joyful and grounded person who's good at the simpler things of life like conversation and food.
Great interview. Nice guy.
Fantastic podcast. Keep up the amazing work. ❤
Kimbal is a wonderful person
Your handle photo makes us smile too😀
This episode was so Joyful!
Just let this play and I listen.Your words are so wise.And you have the most interesting interviews ever. Thank you.Thank you so much..❤
Lex is a master of highlighting the most interesting aspects of his guests. Never thought I'd enjoy listening to someone talk about cooking.
Still wish he asked him how he met jeffrey epstein and how he ended up "dating" his ex.
Because he didn't ask him about his relationship with Jeff Epstein :D
My mouth is watering over peaches.
Then go to Georgia. Best in the world. Dude’s crazy.
Perfect compliment for brothers
Absolutely!
Great interview, thank you 🤩 🎉
Halfway through Kimball mentions scrambled eggs. It reminded me of 1970 when I was at a prestigious symphony camp in California for two weeks. They hired a chef who made the best scrambled eggs. How in the world did he get them to be so soft and tall and fluffy? One morning I watched him make them. If I remember right he first poured water in the huge skillet before he poured his egg mixture. Like Kimball said, this chef watched and waited and knew the exact moment when to start the dance with the eggs. Within a minute there they were, the perfect scrambled eggs!!🥚🥚🥚🥚
....nice comment. Artful.
brb grabbing skillet
The hotel in Downtown Santee Fe, NM used to have the 'Crepery' run by a French women. What is it about eggs? Benedict, that may saying too much..Ha. A good Hollandaise is priceless!😋
Instantly one of my all-time fav LF pods. I had heard of "Kimbal Musk" but never knew his story. Loved it!
🍑
I'm in Central California (farm country) and for me its peaches then cherries. Unless you have had truely tree ripened fruit its hard to even fathom how crazy good they can be.
I have a Peach Tree that similarly to his are only really great for a week or two. The birds love them too 😂
The watering hole analogy is perfect. Sometimes differences are put aside when we perform the mandatory act of eating.
Yeah, it's common ground... we all need it, most of us love it and we all do it... its like neutral ground in a battle
Sounds like you're talking about the sense of community around meals & how it fosters connection & communication.
So far as sitting in & restaurants, you can sit & relax & throw out a beam in a way & pick up what you perceive. ❤
Ingredients are magic, cooking makes better writers too. Thanks!
I like the Lex’s comment about there’s something about food, evolutionary that it makes us vulnerable in a way that grounds us.
There is an evolutionary aspect to why humans may feel more grounded and less stress when eating and this is due to the historical challenges of food scarcity. Back in the day, finding food was a big deal due to scarcity, so when we did find food, especially in safe places, it gave us a sense of security and comfort, lowering our stress levels. Plus, eating together as a community likely strengthened social bonds and cooperation, adding to that feeling of safety and well-being during meals. These evolutionary factors have shaped how we psychologically and physically respond to eating, helping us feel more grounded and at ease.
I strongly agree!
I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing
I work in fine dining and what he says about a meal being bad, and someone being still happy, or a meal being objectively great, and a person being unhappy, speaks to the fact that you get to choose.. and restaurants are deeply psychological. Yalom, a famous psychotherapist, speaks about his garden and how people would react completely differently to it, some complementing, some denigrating, and to him it was a source of information about his clients.. The same goes in restaurants. Different people react radically differently to the same situation, and you see that it is them, not the situation, that dictates if they have a good night.
Loved the interview!
Ohhhh, loved this! Thank you ❤️ 😊
Nice to see and feel the relaxed environment that was created. Enjoy those eggs... I can almost taste them. 😋
Love that analysis. I used to say that you could get the energy of a city just by going to a few bars in a different neighborhood in one night/day. You really can, you get a sense of whats happening that day, the collective consciousness just permeates and tells you the macroeconomics.
The pubs in Ireland were amazing, especially for a people watcher like myself. They were friendly and so unassuming with delicious simple offerings. I have never walked into a bar in NJ by myself, but would happily go into a pub in Ireland and feel welcomed and not feel compromised.
Kimbal Musk was a breath of fresh air and I also love the smell of a home grown tomato or cucumber. I so enjoyed cooking for my 15 member family, but too many have died and it’s no longer a joy just cooking for me!
Luckily, I watch this episode after dinner so I don't get hungry. Food is a powerful agent; too much or too little will make a person sick. Most importantly, love goes to the stomach. So nice to see you both laughing, it's contagious. "Life is better when you are laughing." - Bob Marley. Love this one a lot. Thanks for bringing Kimbal Musk to the spotlight with you Lex.❤
God I can relate so much to what he says about his dad - my dad was identical.. utter train wreck. Alcohol, smoking, depression, drugs, verbal Diarrhea, constantly needing to pay attention to his "teachings" ... i learned what kind of person i didn't want ot be.
Post War 1&2 generational, hoping. Thanks for your post to avoid conversational domination.💪 Cycles can be difficult to break. Educating with kindness and care and love is my goal. Liked when Kimball keenly mentioned humility. 😍
Food glorious food
This conversation was FANTASTIC!!
Thank you Les and Kimbal great podcast
My husband joined to watch 👍👍💥
We Need GORDON RAMSAY on here
With Marco Pierre white adjoining
Ramsay sucks
Oh please no! There are so many much more interesting chefs than Ramsay.
No, please!
Uncle roger could be a chef than Ramsay
I love this Musk family. Their life experiences have and hope they help us all to remember to love life
He speaks in the same tonality as Elon
They are brothers
Thoroughly enjoyed the entire conversation! Thanks.
Kimbal is awesome. Love how he talks about his passion for cooking.
40:05 I can't help but wonder if all of this gluten intolerance is a result of glyphosate being used as a desiccant on wheat crops shortly before harvest. If you're not going organic, white bread is probably a better choice than whole grain.
Not if u have celiac disease
Yeah….
@@MattLeo-go6ul yea while I’m liking this interview, I think it’s irresponsible for him as a chef to be dismissive of gluten allergy as a diet choice.
It 100% is, from personal experience of friends family and just researching the timelines. Multiple people I know had massive issues with "gluten allergy" right at the time when the began using it as a desiccant on wheat. These things don't just appear out of nowhere. There has to be a cause and that cause has supposedly never been found, yeah right.
@@xsietubeI agree and I know it's not what you meant but if words matter... you should be dismissive of allergies as a choice, because they are not a choice.
Apples from Île d'Orléans, Quebec in Fall. The best apples you can get. The only time I eat apples. When you bite in one and juices spray on your friends face, that's when I LOve them.
Visited for the first time today. Really really understand and the atmosphere of the broadcast is very good! Your bright eyes and voice are impressive. Very nice to see your channel, Lex Fridman!
What a great soul and amazing interview! I wish it would have lasted longer, as I’m sure Kimbal has much more to tell us!
This is his second video with Lex.
Like Kimbal and Elon, I am 47 and grew up in Pretoria South Africa. I can assure you that life was very precious for whites. Religion and family played an integral role in society. Where life was cheap was in the black townships. A whole different world. After the genocide in Rwanda where millions were murdered with machetes, it was a wake up call and finally time to leave Africa behind. Those who think this is racist have never been there.
Lex,
I have been a fan since you first appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast.
Thus, I feel that I have known you for done time, of course, others would say that I know only the on camera personality.
This is typically true when it come to the TV/Internet, but I think you take pride in being open, honest and politely communicating.
Your a great guy 👍
It frustrates me as an extrovert to see a good person struggling with overall social interaction as an introvert (my wife struggles as well).
Just wandering when you stated people are complex and may mis judge a situation they observe incorrectly.
people are complex but many introverted people that I know don’t realize we are allot more alike than we are different , at least 99% of the time.
We all have the common needs such as, love, being accepted etc and all have som sort of short comings as jealousy, narcissistic tendencies, etc
Extroverts realize this easily, resulting feeling more confidence in their social status.
Basically, 99% of the people around you are also F***** up just like you 👍🤣👍
So RELAX AND JOIN THE PARTY 🎉
AH....LOVE IT THIS MYSTERIOUS ATMOSPHERE OF THESE EMPTY BARS!!!!!!! GREETINGS FROM GREECE GUYS!!!! LOVE YOU!!!!
Lex, interview Errol Musk. It would be interesting to see his perspective.
A eugenicist freak. Sure.
He has interviewed Elon previously.
Great interview Lex. Love you guys
A big fan of fruits and veggies! Healthy conversation that invokes your taste buds. Kimbal brings joy to your kitchen with harmonious ingredients for a healthy gut. Love this one Lex. Good stuff!
40:40 "Most of the time, it's some CRUMMY bread" loool Nice, Kimbal, I see what you did there.
This show is a lot of fun of all the lex fridman podcast I have heard. Kimbal Musk feels* very genuine.
Oh I totally agree that sometimes in life you're better asking forgiveness rather than permission. This is how most great things actually happen in my opinion.
Алексей, мне кажется кто-то должен вам подсказать. закралась небольшая ошибка... это не Ницше "the privilege of owning yourself", а Киплинг. мне понравилась эта цитата. я решила найти источник и контекст, но наткнулась на Киплинга. понимаю, досадно и крайне неприятно... но не думаю, что эта "ошибка" вас "убьет". а цитата действительно неплохая!
пожалуйста, берегите себя! From Russia With Love!❤️
Awesome discussion! I really enjoyed listening to Kimbal getting in deep with the positive emotional aspects of food. Food is definitely a love language and artform!✨️🌟🍽
Thank you, Lex and Kimball. Another great conversation about things that matter - and very often those are quite simple things. Thank you)
❤I ordered the book yesterday - Amazon will deliver tonight by 10 pm. ❤ CONGRATULATIONS!!!❤
Did you get it by 10PM
I worked in restaurants for 20 years and to this day I still eat by myself sometimes just to have some me time. Sushi especially...it's my happy place and as nice as it is to have the company of my family the solidarity of me and the food is something special
Same for me, retired chef and restaurant owner.. At 77, I still cook for myself almost daily, though I live alone.
Great interview. When it comes to his brother, I’m in both in awe of him, and at odds with him. However, with Kimbal, he’s so down to earth, humble and fun. Someone that I could easily be friends with.
Shirley…

Service industry people are the BEST! 🥰🙏🏽
Ни убавить, ни прибавить. Разговор по душам. Спасибо Вам.
Brilliant observation 😊
Lex and Mr Kimbal, you may have heard of the following Japanese cooking lore - it came to mind as my daughter and I watched this episode:
"The angrier the thought, emotion and/or intent one has while preparing wasabi, it intensifies it's spiciness/scoville."
Always cook with love.
I love how Musk brothers go deep, independent of what they do.
I applaud you for finding a place and existence that does not exist
Austin does bring together active, smart 'PROons'.
Kimbal: I don't have to worry about money so I will make a book about cooking
Also Kimbal: I will not go to the gym
met this guys son in florida. whole family is intriguing !
If there's ever a movie of the Musks Cillian Murphy should play him.
Excellent Lex! 🤙
49:53 You can not understate enough how good good scrambled eggs are. Once you taste real scrambled eggs, especially with fresh laid eggs. There are few things in this life that taste better.
good to know more about kimbo slice musk
Not sure why this made me laugh so hard 😂
I loved this conversation. What a lovely Man . The Musk family are so easy to listen to . Very real and down to earth. Lex of course is the best interviewer. Love him .❤️
Not sure if I would say a man with close ties to jeffrey epstein is a "lovely man" but to each their own I guess.
@@Crypdographydo you Not have any ability to add something of significance to the comments?
@@user-se1ev7my6f ya that's where Google comes into play buddy.
Listening to this guy describe living with africans is amazing.
I really agree with Kimball about technique especially Mexican food.
The only restaurant I would go to alone, Mexican Manhattan in San Antonio, TX it was so good. 2nd place also in San Antonio is Liberty Bar, LOVED IT but they moved it to South Town, loved it when it was by the Pearl.
Another W!
Kimbal is a Champ 🤠
Great podcast! Now do Errol Musk next
He already interviewed Elon previously.
@@susankeith326 Errol not Elon
What a Wonderful person, brings quite some common feelings on quite a lot of aspects
Love the talks. A conversation with Bukele would be interesting.
How is it possible that he and his brother seem to be such likeable, thoughtful, even sensitive guys despite that monster of a father who obviously did everything to get them completely messed up... But of course: You only get to see the favourable sides of their characters, here...
Greed is a sin.
Taking ppls $, time, and other most valuable resources is...Greed.
Lex your a class act! Hats of too you!
I love how this interview is so real and down to earth! This is one of the things lex is amazing at, is feeding and following someones energy!
Mount Rushmore at night 😆👌
The stars would have been beautiful though 💫
Longtime fan of the Kitchen on Pearl Street right here 🔥
Loved it! Thank you for this interview ❤ Greetings from Poland
The brothers have the same laugh
Seriously, is this debate with Benny Morris, Finkelstein, and the others even real?
Good, thank you.
Great conversation on
Some inside information of a very interesting person.
Yeah, it’s like gossip only better.
Wow, so amazing in just the first few min. Life changing even. Life is finite - live it!
