Interesting chat. I particularly enjoyed the second half, the discussion on setting limits for research and crafting a story/information for the audience.
"When I listen to podcasts, I see all of the effort people put in ... and I just want to have a conversation with someone" [cuts to Ali with a lit studio setup] 😂
I confess I stopped watching Ali a couple of years ago. I started finding his content completely unrelatable when he was putting out videos about watching TV productively. I have to agree with another comment, he just seems almost disinterested in the conversation. I may be doing him a disservice but it is the vibe I get through the screen.
@DannyHatcher It's a great and very kind to him thought but. We've watched him in other podcasts and he doesn't seem bored in other "just a conversation" type interviews and YOU don't seem bored in this but Ali is not at his best in many ways in this. At first he's looking for a link so he's extremely distracted. Ali's tone of voice and going all over the place with his eyes is a lot. I also don't really know what you're talking about at the beginning of the video so afar not that long in got bored.
