Thanks for having me on! I had a great time recording this!

[johnnywatkins]

I was depressed by my nihilism, but my depression was utterly pointless

[tessahammond]

My two philosopher crushes in one room talking about my favorite subject. You have my FULL attention.

Please do more with him, I've never heard of him before and this conversation was just fantastic!

[Oliver-bj]

Thumbnail is misleading, I was expecting an interview with Nietzsche 😒

[alexroth]

I initially thought Alex was interviewing a Nihilist and was so confused by how golden retriever this lad is.

[BradleyRoberti]

“You can say whatever ya like… (nods to camera)… Within Reason” 😂

[Everything_Simpler]

Joe has the biggest grin on his face the entire time. Such an exciting conversation :) Thank you both

[RangerRyke]

this dude literally just popped up on my radar and here he is with Alex already. I can see you guys collaborating for years to come.

[ronintage]

You can tell they're both having a great time together. This was so enjoyable to watch and listen to.

[ThatPrettyBMF]

This dude just talked so fast that I was compelled to check my playback speed. It's set to 1.0... I'm literally stunned.

[OfficialMiniFridge]

“Don’t try to box me or something” in regards to Jake Paul was the funniest thing you’ve said on the channel

[historywithhilbert]

This opening about the weird kind of shame and hesitancy to admit to being a "Youtuber" come across as very accurate to my own experience!

[fubilosophy]

This is not only two philosophers having a great discussion, ,

This is also two philosophy geeks geeking out about philosophy

I’m so happy to see Alex displaying His youthful spirit here. Something that, given the weight of His contents, rarely shown

[redblueblur]

Two of my favorite philosophy youtubers togather 🔥🔥🔥

[The_Wanderer_And_His_Shadow]

Unsolicited Advised became among my favourite channels. So good to see you two having a conversation.

[JavaScripting]

I want to learn more about nihilism but don’t really see the point.

[Skurian_krotesk]

WHAAAATTT, THIS IS AN AWESOME COLLAB!!!!

Holy crap how did i not see that coming at all i could cry, this makes me so happy❤😂

[FahimusAlimus]

You two should start a podcast together. This was the best chemistry I’ve seen with Alex compared to anyone else on the show.
