Sam seems like a human person. I like that he asks Lex questions right back and waits curiously for his answer.

Impressive program! For a brief moment of 15 seconds (your customary pause time 😊), I harbored doubts about your proficiency in your field. However, upon immersing myself in your show, I swiftly recognized your thoughtfulness, considerate nature, exceptional intellect, and impeccable manner in addressing various subjects. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to you for staying true to yourself. You have gained a newfound admirer in an 83-year-old enthusiast like me!

what i love about lex's podcasts is that he is a blank slate who just treats every of his guests with human compassion, so we get to see some sides of these people that we usually tend to dehumanize. This channel is less about satisfying the viewers, its more about understanding these individuals.
