I wish he had done a better job with Tomas Sowell, it was disappointing

@Assassinsknife I have to argue against gun control, and prove that the welfare state is responsible for an increase in gun violence. (kill me now)

If I was doing interviews, I'd like to come off as the silly guy who I am and then hard ball somebody

@Fitzydog How in the world is there a connection between the two of those?

Poverty @Assassinsknife

Rubin doesn't need to drill anybody, but he should prevent guests from talking nonstop about nothing.

Fair

The goal of an interview is to make the other person feel you're their best friend, but you're just trying to get information out of them

@Assassinsknife It's the only connnection. Look at Lyndon Johnson

I'd like more drill downs.

@Fitzydog hezuz d00d/d00dette how the fuck are you still alive?

I feel often there's a road somebody starts to go down, then a host just let's that go

nobody ever drills down or asks for deeper explanations enough

@Charles Khan Joe Rogan, dude.

I stand corrected, that is true.

fair 'nuff

he puts people on the spot

Joe Rogan will double back with people.

that is my main problem with Rubin, he has good production, but the interviews are pretty standard and if you know anything about the guest, chances are you won't learn anything new.

Lord have mercy upon me, this asshat is saying that Civilization is a tool of the bourgeoisie

Nuke California please

yes

Letting the guests talk is good to let them expand on their ideas beyond what most interview settings would let them. But if they're saying nothing, it just becomes a waste of time. Rubin needs to take control in those cases; see how Joe Rogan steered Sargon into specifics.

no wait!
