That's exactly it. I actually liked Rogan's podcasts a few years ago because as you said he proclaimed himself as the dumb guy in the room and had experts on in areas of interest for him. And if that area of interest also interested you, it was the perfect episode.
He played the audience member who got to ask the questions on your behalf like a laymen. Then everything went to his head and he slowly started playing the expert himself, except his expertise was bat**** crazy and wrong most of the time.
And that's where the podcast is at now. He's no longer asking questions, he's just having people on to reaffirm his crazy beliefs and if they don't play along he gets angsty and rude. It's so awkward.
