I think it's because he's not that bright and has one of the most prolific podcasts in terms of listeners that he's divisive. He is mostly uncritical of whatever someone says and isn't that quick on the draw to call people out so he's basically a platform for any mildly famous person to go on the show and spew whatever crackpot theory there is for a few hours unchallenged to his huge base of listeners. He himself is not that controversial but he allows on controversial characters unchallenged.
