It's not about being a wall, or being uninteresting that gets me. Unlike most boring interviewers, he also positively makes me cringe. Like, I just can't. I believe he is trying to emulate Prince Myshkin from The Idiot, but he has a profound misunderstanding of what it means to be an Idiot in the way of the Prince, and so, he is only able to emulate the surface level behaviours but not the underlying identity. I was watching his episode with Jaron Lanier, and because I loved what his guest had to say, I really had to push through all the cringe and force myself to watch it. The same thing has happened multiple times. Whenever I see an amazing guest on his podcast, I feel sad that I'll either have to skip it, or go through a painful experience. It would be amazing if there was an alternate edited form of his podcast, where Lex is replaced with someone else who fills in whatever Lex is talking about in a concise way, just to keep the flow going. I would definitely watch something like that, solely because of his guest lineup. Edit: I feel like this comment might be interpreted as too harsh, but just to clarify, I am not attacking his person. Interviewing is a skill, and I'm only criticizing his skills. If I tried interviewing, I might suck as well, but I wouldn't expect the kind of guests he gets.
