I think there are not that many people who want that. Most of the guests have books, podcasts, .. themselves. Maybe you should switch to this instead.

Maybe you could invent something to do that, and appear on the Alex Friedman podcast?

I see what you did there.

This is an excellent question. Every time I have made the mistake of watching one of his interviews, I have wanted to do exactly this.

Sign me up! Fridman’s prompts are like some alien kind of ads rendering the conversation unbearable.

I felt the same way at first.

But listen to some of his top ranked episodes and you start to appreciate how he lets the guest speak.

The Neal Stephenson is one interview that comes to mind.

yeah, but then he talks, and immediately undoes all the good that was just said. watching his interviews are net zero at best.

The Enhancer for YouTube extension does this for ads, hence it's conceivable that you could do the same. The problem is that someone who cared enough about this would have to go through and watch this with the parts they hate still in. Good luck solving that part of the problem :D
