Does this guy end every conversation with, “I don’t always drink beer. But when I do, I prefer Dos Equis. Stay thirsty my friend?”

And no one bothers to ask or define ... what the hell is Poincare's conjecture??
For compact 2-dimensional surfaces without boundary, if every loop can be continuously tightened to a point, then the surface is topologically homeomorphic to a 2-sphere, usually just called a sphere. The Poincaré conjecture asserts that the same is true for 3-dimensional surfaces.
(Like .. I even understand THAT !!?!!)

I attended the 80th birthday physics lecture conference for Julian Schwinger at UCLA. Understood maybe 50%, and one of the talks might as well have been in Japanese. Met Schwinger as he was walking with an aid to his car. Shook hands with John Bell too. Very interesting. But alot of these guys were also real kooks, wearing ratty suits, socks of differing colors, etc. And several of them really smelled bad.
What is it that’s said about the fine line twixt genius and insanity?
