Those are solid examples, you’re right. The “isn’t this math thing beautiful?” and “don’t you love love?” digressions are banal, but I give him a pass because a) the guests are interesting people who say interesting things and b) in Lex’s world I guess it’s unusual to slow down and smell the roses. It makes sense to get touchy-feely with Bert Kreischer, who’s basically an alcoholic gigantic third grader. Or with Michael Malice because they’re goofy best buds. Still it’s nice when a serious guest kind of shrugs and sticks to the topic. I can’t listen to Neil Degrasse Tyson talk because of that same kind of “the wonder of the poetry of the cosmic ballet” nonsense.
