The Lex Fridman Podcast with Hugo will have to be rescheduled to a later date as Fridman fell into a deep coma at the 40 minute mark. He is currently being kept for observation at Mt.Sinai medical centre and is feeling well. He told AP reporter Saul Bickleman “I don’t remember much if I’m honest, I remember asking him about what he thinks of the new Omicron variant and that’s about it. His voice was droning on and at first I lost my hearing, I signalled to Mike my producer to increase the gain as I thought it was a mic issue. Then I started to lose my eyesight. Hugo was talking about percentages in South Africa and asking me did I know a publication called The Spectator, at that point I just closed my eyes and let the darkness take me.” Fridman woke after 8 weeks surrounded by friends and family, he refused to be pushed on a future date.
