I haven't gone all the back to the beginning of the podcast yet but for the year or so I've been listening I thought from the start that the pattern of his speech had a sort of "Brooklyn Italian and or Jewish" self deprecating kind of feel.
I think Keith is so fucking genuine but people WANT to think he has other motives. Maybe it's his serious face or the fact that they know Keith is very smart and is capable of cutting people down with his wit and jokes, but some new guests or guests with anxiety do pussyfoot around topics or stop themselves before answering a question - as if they expect him to do it to them all the time. (Holy run-on sentence)
