I think when watching Fridman (and other long-form interviewers) it's important to keep in mind the difference between an interview for the purpose of journalism versus for entertainment versus education. I think Fridman dances between the last two categories, particularly towards entertainment when the subject is outside of his expertise. I watched of the episode you mentioned and stopped about half way because it felt disingenuous that he wasn't asking even the simplest of the questions to the claims that the interviewee was making.
