>>14229263i think about 1 in 10 of his shows are good, depending mostly on how capable of talking to a human robot the guest happens to be. see tim dillon's episode and mark normand's episode, the only 2 comedians that have appeared on the show. dillon has a great time and is funny, mark tries to entertain lex and it's grisly to watch.
the guests that are truly clever are the best, like joscha bach and jim keller, because they are able to talk in depth about interesting topics regardless of lex's robotic style.
neal stephenson is noteworthy because he's the only guest i've seen on that podcast who was more autistic than the host. it's a sight to behold watching those two "interact"
