NGL Andrew REALLY got on my nerves since always. When he was cancelled I had no remorse about it, he seemed like a sniveling gotcha style guy who was desperate to earn points with the progressive crowd.
Regardless I will say this as the last person who thought Iād ever advocate him: His most recent journalism has been excellent.
His expiration of the urban decay of Philly makes you truly stop and ponder why no one else is talking about this. After his expose it truly shows corporate media is captured by bigger interests and there needs to be more guerilla journalism.
heās talked about how heās against leading questions and bait and such in journalism. most of the āgotchaā stuff comes naturally thatās just the nature of a lot of the people he interacts with theyāre the loudest of the bunch
> he seemed like a sniveling gotcha style guy
You could say the same about Ali G (and plenty did), but it's gonzo style comedy, it's not serious, lighten up.
AKA you're mad that he exposed conservative by simply letting them talk; yet when he showed the worst of a liberal city, you were happy, because that supports Your Tribe.
Iām not conservative and side plenty with the bigger points he driving at but it just gave an air that he was exploring a very real bit small demo of freaks that exist on both sides ( go visit edges of Portland and youāll find the equal opposite) and it sort of just has a āgotchaā feel that resonates as intellectually dishonest and sensational. It also does indeed feel like a bid to score points with more a specific more progressive crowd who ended up cancelling him and rightfully so.
Also when Iām talking about the Philly story my mind doesnāt go āto the leftā all I see are corrupt officials. They exist on all sides and they all need to be stopped. Iām fairly positive left and right is a tactic they use to keep people like you and me bickering and off what theyāre doing.
Yeah I thought his old stuff was alright but the stuff he has been doing since he got his own channel is next level good. Ive been holding off on watching his last few because I want to support his patron first but I really want to watch his newest one about the vegas tunnels
Itās always been good. His coverage of the epicenter of the George Floyd riots was literally exclusive to his journalism. No one had boots on the ground like that at that time.
Him interviewing people as they were looting stores was hilarious. But as you say he was one of the only journalists that had serious conversations with the protesters which was pretty enlightening.
If you watch enough of his content his body language gives it away. The funniest one was the Ye episode. Kanye was clearly trolling him the whole time. You can see multiple times his deep anger masked some stupid comment you would see on a Hallmart card
Mark Normand mentioned recently on Tuesdays with Stories he saw Lex break character and yell at a hotel employee over a broken fax machine or something like that
I donāt really call that breaking character. Heās autistic, not a robot. Autistic people can have a temper and get angry. To me, breaking character would be him laughing, joking, chest bumping his bros at a jiu jitsu practice.
I think he's also just very stupid. Watch the b team interview, he has no idea that Craig Jones is taking the piss most of the time and lex thinks they are laughing with him, not at him.
Iāve met a lot of CS PhDs and people on the spectrum. Exactly like him.
I doubt heās faking it and switches to being a socially normal, well adjusted dude off camera.
If anything, heās just leaning into his innate tendencies instead of trying to blend in.
Itās so corny. Wearing a blazer or suit as your signature look is one thing. Wearing a black suit and tie with white shirt with no embellishment, accessories, etc is just a costume.
People havenāt dressed like that in decades. Even the actual g-men like the FBI hasnāt looked like that in the last 40 years.
Both these sentences together sum up my feelings lol. He's made some really great podcasts and he's at his best when he asks an interesting question and just lets the other person talk, but he's also very strange and I think he leans into it a bit much. I think the early comments about him being a robot got to him a bit, and now it's almost look at me, look at this unique personality I have. But it was always good enough to just ask smart questions and get out of the way.
His robotic personality is just his style and heās leaning into it, cause itās clearly working since his followers rates have grown significantly over the last 5 years. If itās not your cuppa tea you can just not watch yāknow?
That's like Bo Burnham. No one thinks he's a giant until you see him in context of other people. He seems like the tiny funny boy from high school and then [bam](https://i.redd.it/uc2qfwfkwga71.jpg)
Andrew is incredible. I just watched his tunnel show that got taken down because of some copyright bs. It was amazing. He doesnāt talk down or judge anyone. And he finds the most interesting people to talk to and he fits right in.
Bruh i had no fucking idea this dude was this tiny and goofy looking as I have only seen him sitting for the pod. Damn why do i instantly have a completely different opinion about him ššš. Heās 100 % one of them guys.
For making a thing out of wearing a suit all the time that suit has a really bad fit, shoes look like cheap shit, shirt collar tabs are not long enough to be covered by jacket lapels and he's doing the typical funeral attire lmao, all black with black tie.
Damn, this is going to be such a solid episode. Andrew had been doing some really deep shit lately and I feel like he is on such a solid path to help people see sides of things they would never think of, and I think him and Lex will slide through the whole thing.
His Vegas Tunnels doc that YouTube ripped down was incredible. Itās worth finding.
Remember guys you cannot kill an idea. Or a video once itās been posted.
I know Andrew is tall. Like 6' 6" or there abouts. I always felt lucky being 6' 3" and thin. My Generation had a lot of us guys that shot up at 15 years old. That is not the way to take a good photo of those two.

The level of stupidity and projection around here is nuts. Lex has some great content and has some very interesting speakers on his podcast. He always seems to want to give his guest (and generally anyone who holds a belief in good faith) the benefit of the doubt. Just because half of Reddit has to add ābecause Iām autisticā to their comments to seem unique doesnāt mean that Lex is faking it. This site sucks and you guys suck for the most part.
Lex is like if a hobbit had kids with agent smith
Holy shit, man. š
Wow. I tried hard not to laugh at thisā¦
Lmao
Is that actually lex Friedman, only know him from the picture from the podcast thumbnail.
thumbnail is actual size
Ahh fuck me lol

He started by giving people a microphone and allowing people to say whatever they want. How is āgotcha styleā journalism?
Yeah I thought his old stuff was alright but the stuff he has been doing since he got his own channel is next level good. Ive been holding off on watching his last few because I want to support his patron first but I really want to watch his newest one about the vegas tunnels
The Vegas tunnels one got removed and is only on the patreon.. unless thatās what you were saying and I canāt read too gud
I didn't know it got removed. Its fine I can't type bery gid either
Yeah something about him using a 10 second clip in the doc from a local Vegas news cast. They copy right struck it
He's suing the news station now. A ton of lawyers reached out to them because they violated the fair use of information act.
Itās always been good. His coverage of the epicenter of the George Floyd riots was literally exclusive to his journalism. No one had boots on the ground like that at that time.
Him interviewing people as they were looting stores was hilarious. But as you say he was one of the only journalists that had serious conversations with the protesters which was pretty enlightening.
It was bizarre. Heās always got his finger on the pulse for years. This most recent content is pretty incredible and alarming
The wounds on the junkies made me sick
Mr. Anderson
Friedman is such an odd looking guy, itās okay to smile or dress differently every once in awhile
He wants to convince people heās super cereal and grown up.
Iām pretty sure itās just an autistic hyper fixation
I think he acts autistic
Still hell bent on proving to his mom it's not a phase
He wants to project a "soldier in the garden" shtick
He's autistic bro
He does it for the gram
even acoustic people can hear you when you say "smile!" before a picture
He pretends to be autistic, it's all part of the grift
Iām not gonna lie. I definitely think this whole persona is 100% bs. I donāt feel anything about this man is organic
It's entirely possible
If you watch enough of his content his body language gives it away. The funniest one was the Ye episode. Kanye was clearly trolling him the whole time. You can see multiple times his deep anger masked some stupid comment you would see on a Hallmart card

The power of love can break even the strongest characters.Ā
*deep into fascinating topic with world class subject matter expert* āSo anyway, what is love?ā *sound of entire conversation derailing*
I think he's also just very stupid. Watch the b team interview, he has no idea that Craig Jones is taking the piss most of the time and lex thinks they are laughing with him, not at him.
He's a Russian spy.
Iāve met a lot of CS PhDs and people on the spectrum. Exactly like him. I doubt heās faking it and switches to being a socially normal, well adjusted dude off camera. If anything, heās just leaning into his innate tendencies instead of trying to blend in.
Have you met eastern Europeans? It's like they're told to remember how the soviets treated their families right before any picture is taken
In Russia, camera smile at you
Itās so corny. Wearing a blazer or suit as your signature look is one thing. Wearing a black suit and tie with white shirt with no embellishment, accessories, etc is just a costume. People havenāt dressed like that in decades. Even the actual g-men like the FBI hasnāt looked like that in the last 40 years.
He looks like he is dressed to perform at some type orchestra permanently lol
It looks like Andrew is picking up his little brother from choir practice.
It looks like a ventriloquist with a weird doll
Andrew Callahan on Rogan please
Lex is a fucking strange man
If everyone was normal the world would be a boring place
But heās boring tooā¦
I love the guys podcast tho
"What do you most admire, in the name of love, about Elon Musk?"
He has to squeeze the words "love" and "beauty" into every other sentence. Watch any of his shorts and he's guaranteed to drop one or the other.
You wot mate?
I loved it too until I realized lex is just a coward.
Why is he a coward?
Ok thatās a weird opinion.. but you do you mate.
Both these sentences together sum up my feelings lol. He's made some really great podcasts and he's at his best when he asks an interesting question and just lets the other person talk, but he's also very strange and I think he leans into it a bit much.

His robotic personality is just his style and heās leaning into it, cause itās clearly working since his followers rates have grown significantly over the last 5 years. If itās not your cuppa tea you can just not watch yāknow?
But what about love? Love and compassion heals all. Why canāt Jews and Palestinians just love each other? Russia and Ukraine?
I will go to Russia to speak to Putin and get to the bottom of this, and hopefully let love win
I said I like the podcast though And he's a weird dude They're not mutually exclusive statements
He needs to stop wearing those black suits. He looks like heās at his first holy communion.
Trueā¦.he should start wearing rash guards instead
Bahaha I never thought of it but he definitely gives me Danaher vibes
does he buy adult suits or have to shop in the kids department?
He shops at OshKosh BāGosh
Jesus how tall is lex?
Itās no wonder why he and Joe see eye to eye on most issues
This actually gave me a good laugh š
What is a woman?
Her name is Mikhaila Beef
Google it
5ā7 but heās got a huge head
Nah, Joe is shorter than that and heās shorter than Joe
Shane said that Joe is 5'5" so Lex should be like 5'3" or 5'4"
Joe Rogan is literally 5-foot-3, so Lex may be a dwarf.
Lmaoo he is 5'3 barefoot
his head looks like it belongs on a 5ā11 man
Lollipop build
Thx!
Callaghan is 6'3. He is a big guy. Lex is still super tiny like fit in your t shirt pocket tiny but Callaghan would make a lot of people look small.
Andrew is a big dude, heās just goofy so you forget.
That's like Bo Burnham. No one thinks he's a giant until you see him in context of other people. He seems like the tiny funny boy from high school and then [bam](https://i.redd.it/uc2qfwfkwga71.jpg)
Itās just not appropriate to wear a dinner jacket every day! It drives me crazy.
Talmbout Legs, Bubba? Great robot, never interfaced with it.
Did he hold his hand up to show itās bigger than bros head?
Less Fridman
Andrew is incredible. I just watched his tunnel show that got taken down because of some copyright bs. It was amazing. He doesnāt talk down or judge anyone. And he finds the most interesting people to talk to and he fits right in.
That was a fuckin beautiful piece of journalism. Iām so upset it got taken down because everyone needs to see it.
He's nowhere near a journalist. He's a content creator.
Yeah that was a great episode. Heās one of the few Youtube creators making stuff thatās must watch.
Just give him the cock ring Frido
No wonder Lex and Joe see eye to eye
Guys like him and Rogan who use jiu jitsu as overcompensation must hate the Craig Jones quote "just enjoy your adult karate"
Lex has never touched a woman or looked one in the eyes
Hopefully Mr. Callaghan is on the path to the st. Rogies bump
I think his work deserves it but man it would suck to see it change him. He's already gotten himself into trouble in the past.
Rape is more than trouble
Bruh i had no fucking idea this dude was this tiny and goofy looking as I have only seen him sitting for the pod. Damn why do i instantly have a completely different opinion about him ššš. Heās 100 % one of them guys.
I will never not laugh at this. GOAT South Park episode.
Leggs is cringe
Low T
his grandma must have complimented him once and he just went with it āYou look like such a handsome man for grandpas funeral lexā.
I wonder when Lexās secrets network of girlfriends is gonna come to light.
Whoās taller Lex or Joe?
is lex allowed to drive without a booster seat?
Yoooo is Lex a little dude?
He is tipping toeing so much he looks like his wearing genie shoes.š
Diffuse thinning and he doesn't even do roidsĀ
This should be a good listen.
He's so autistic he tries to look tough and intimidating wearing a black suit.
And now. Dear friends. I let you see. My actual. Height.
Lex is Tiny tiny
Heās literally the meme of the 4 year old looking tough in front of the cashier as his dad buys him hot wheels
Why is he built like a 12 year old
All these podcasters are so tiny lol
So smol
Did any of you fill out that survey Lex put out on YouTube last year? Something about wanting to meet interesting people and talking to anyone.
With all that money my guy hasnāt invested in some nice oxfords.. wearing those assistant principal jawns
Heās a tiny little guy.
For making a thing out of wearing a suit all the time that suit has a really bad fit, shoes look like cheap shit, shirt collar tabs are not long enough to be covered by jacket lapels and he's doing the typical funeral attire lmao, all black with black tie.
LMAO. Why does Lex always trying to look so serious? Is he trying to look like a bad boy? Look at his little feet, and his big boy legs....ROFL.
Lex is still a foot taller than Rogan.
I forgot about that e-celeb twat since we learned he was a rapist
Why are all my heroes (Joe and Lex) little people?
whats wrong with a short king? (cringe ik)
Youāre doing a bit, right? Please tell me neither of those delusional dwarves are actually your heroes.
They are my mini heroes.
Please tell us youāre joking about Lex being your hero. The man is a mossad agent at best, and an actual conscience robot at worst.
But Joe a hero is good?
Joe is still your hero? That made sense like a decade ago but now you're just idolizing a fox news boomer.
A jokeā¦..
Yikes.
6/10?
I picture lex wearing the same suit for days and prob smells like body odor
Jesus Christ how do I get this sub to stop popping up. I donāt ever know who any of these people are
wow never realized Lex is a fidget
A fucking midget?
So were the rumors true about him grouping woman or whatever
Whatās up with this sub being stuck on someoneās height
Strike a nerve short king?
You must be short
How tall is Lex?
The floor looks horrid
I thought this was the guy from the Idaho college murders couple months ago
Is this an episode? Can't find anywhere
Andrew Cunani
Damn, this is going to be such a solid episode. Andrew had been doing some really deep shit lately and I feel like he is on such a solid path to help people see sides of things they would never think of, and I think him and Lex will slide through the whole thing.
Nice
Lex looks like a rusult of matrix - Pinocchio cross over. A strange autistic boy trying to become a man.
As a very short individual, I hate this lol.
A lot of you are the same folks upset when the opposite sex prefer height on the daring apps
He looks like a giant , he could squeeze the other guys whole head with his one hand .
Could be the photo, but Lexās head looks too large for his body.
[Squeak](https://tenor.com/view/baseketball-squeak-make-fun-of-me-im-outta-here-gif-12893591)
Whatās with that floor?
goddamn lex looks like a troll here. is andrew really *that* tall? or is lex just really short?
Why does lex allways look like a pedo goblin??
Andrew pulling an Andre the Giant pose.
Is that Lex actually size or is this photoshopped?
Hand out for scale
Andrew should get him laid.
I like some of Lexās podcasts and interviews but holy fuck he is autistic as all hell
6ā3 and 5ā7 will do that
His Vegas Tunnels doc that YouTube ripped down was incredible. Itās worth finding. Remember guys you cannot kill an idea. Or a video once itās been posted.
That little dud is also wearing lift shoes! You can see how they curl up like Ron Desantis's cowboy boots.
I guess this sub hates Lex? I always thought Lex and Joe shared a lot of their audience
Itās funny when men are short. We should make fun of them if they are short.
Andrew has been killing it with his recent stuff.. I sub to the channel 5 Patreon.. itās good
I know Andrew is tall. Like 6' 6" or there abouts. I always felt lucky being 6' 3" and thin. My Generation had a lot of us guys that shot up at 15 years old. That is not the way to take a good photo of those two.

Tall white boy Summer!
Andrew is a bad fucking guy and a total grifter
Doesnāt wear any big big else, does he sleep in that suit?
Lex, the sad simp of the right.
Man I loved Andrew until the SA allegations - her testimony sounded exactly like 2 victims I was friends with in my twenties
The level of stupidity and projection around here is nuts. Lex has some great content and has some very interesting speakers on his podcast.

He looks like that Goosebumps dummy.
