| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon show. My voice is slightly |
| 0:07.3 | it's suffering right now. We are here with Lex Friedman who is an incredibly intelligent |
| 0:14.5 | podcaster researcher. He has a podcast that has probably right now there's I don't know that |
| 0:21.8 | you can find a podcast with better guests than yours. If you look at your ability to get |
| 0:28.3 | top tier people in every field, predominantly the things you're interested in, robotics, |
| 0:35.7 | technology, science, physics, but you get everybody. I mean you've had Richard Dawkins, |
| 0:42.2 | you just had Elon Musk. How do you get the top people in those fields? And they love coming on |
| 0:50.0 | and talking to you. Yeah, that's an interesting question. I think if there's one universal thing |

| 1:44.5 | it's like somebody close to them, somebody they trust, somebody they like will say, |
| 1:48.7 | hey, you should do this kind of podcast. And that because you find a lot of really busy people don't |
| 1:55.2 | they're very, they don't know anything about podcasts. Yeah, and they're wary of it, right? They're |
| 2:00.0 | wary of sitting down with somebody they may not know and where that'll go and what they'll end up |
| 2:04.7 | saying, especially a lot of people that are in positions of power. Usually they're, you know, |
| 2:10.4 | I spent time with the CEO of NBC once for a day. They were doing a sketch, an internal sketch to be |
