Its true. I listened to him a decent amount when he was in the sweet spot of being a half-decent production and still seemed to have genuine curiosity about his guests.
I think it was his interview with Dr. Gupta that stopped me from listening. It was the first time I remember him actually interrupting and trying to outsmart a guest who clearly knew more than him. He hadn't really done a lot of that beforehand. He would speculate random BS, for sure, but was never conclusive about even his own opinions, it was sort of the charm of the whole thing. Now here he was arguing with a doctor about medicine. He really got dug in on the anti-science train with covid.
