> I get the sense he's constantly trying to prove how smart he is

I've listened to hundreds of hours, and I just don't get this at all. I don't think he has a selfish motive for the "interruptions". I think he's just saying what's on his mind, in a somewhat vulnerable way.

Yeah same. He might want to prove his existing knowledge (natural, to show the guest that he understands what he's talking about) but doesn't go about trying to outsmart people.

Absolutely, in so many ways he is humble enough to ask the simple questions and let the guest give his view on it
