Apples and oranges.

I think Lex is a fine interviewer considering his background, and short time podcasting. Can you provide examples of him being a terrible interviewer?

He asks the same questions and gets the same answers for half of every interview. People are going to give you a variation of the same answer for 'what is the meaning of life,' and it gets old after a couple interviews. He's also fairly opinionated and repeats the same opinions over and over.
Yeah I used to listen to every episode but now I pretty much have stopped. Same with Rogan. I just keep getting dejavú. Didn’t I hear this exact line of conversation already 5 times? Camus is really cool and Twitter would be better with more love ..

And as others have said he has pet theories or opinions he always has to throw out there and almost never gets a response on. insert rant about aliens - yeah I guess that’s possible(?)

He talks too much about what he thinks about a topic. Listen to literally any episode of the podcast, happens all the time. Worst thing to do as an interviewer.
"What is love?"
