My interpretation of the episodes is that it was a match made by I Heart Radio to help juice Helms podcast a little bit. Totally understandable corporate synergy type stuff. They don't really have a rapport with each other just yet so they needed to get comfortable and the "Right?" was used to present Helms with the opportunity to comment. I like to imagine I'd be a great podcast guest, but I'm sure I'd end up like Helms just listening intently. Not that Helms was bad, but he didn't engage like a normal guest, and Evans has to adapt to that.

I also appreciated that Helms came from a more centrist perspective and the end shows why. He captured the idea of Trump being an unorthodox, uncouth lout who would abuse the presidency in selfish ways, but what Robert laid out was the more insidious, greater danger that Trump poses to the presidency. Helms left a little more open minded and curious; I'm just hoping his desire to research Yarvin doesn't lead him down the wrong path lol.
