What? Lex is my -favorite- interviewer. People say he's robotic and whatnot, but if you watch his face, eyes, and gestures...you can tell he thinks deeply about every single thing he is about to say. He is, unlike Rogan, generally knowledgeable enough already to make comments or ask questions. And he doesn't try to 'gotcha'. To me it's just watching two incredibly bright people speak casually, which I guess isn't everyone's forte, but is very enjoyable.

Too high of a percentage of Lex’s podcasts are his feelings and when be starts to get ranty. I also hate when Joe does that but it’s WAY less often. Lex needs to learn the shut up and let his amazing guests direct the discussion.

If knowledge is a barrier, then give me Sean Carroll with this guest list.

You might just be watching a little too much Lex... I'd get burnt out on just about anything if I watch enough of it.
Just skip forward when he does that. It's so easy to cut down these 2-3 hour podcasts into smaller episodes that fit your interests.
