When he doesn't understand someone, he enthusiastically agrees. When he's hosting someone with PhD or otherwise smarter than him, he just says "ooooooh" a lot and is overenthusiastic. He doesn't ask smart questions. He asks questions his audience will understand.
He was "intelligent" maybe a few times in his life. Those are represented by the third eye on show's emblem/logo.
- stoplying1 4y agoIt's always something to watch people with certain types of relationships to online celebrities construct this entire illusory, aspirational set of attributes onto their e-celeb and then reverse integrate it as a part of their own internal identity effectively. Resulting in "asking dumb questions and thoughtlessly yielding to the last authority that spoke" being portrayed as some height of intelligence.

- mattwilsonn888 4y agoSomehow you seem to think asking questions that confuse people is the most effective way to spread knowledge. It's no surprise someone who implicitly believes learning is privilege for some subset of the population does not enjoy or appreciate the host of a show forcing PhD's (from all viewpoints) to dumb down their points to a general audience. Unless you are an expert in every field of every guest, you have no room to patronize. Joe absolutely asks good questions and and receives and considers contradictory information, as any casual listener knows.
