  • Confusing Name

    Is this related to Stuff You Should Know? The name is very similar, and there’s already a SYSK podcast that’s been around much longer. The similarity makes it a bit confusing.

  • Know your guest and their research!

    I listened to episode 1303. For the first part with the Rachel Turow, it was fine. But as Gabor Mate came in, I felt very uncomfortable with how Mike interacted with Dr. Mate. Mike almost started every response to Dr. Mate’s comments with a “but” and it seemed to me pretty rude to treat your guest like that.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SYSK TRENDING - A Practical Way to Approach Anxiety
Q: So first, tell me what anxiety is exactly.
An anxiety is an alarm system that signals the body to respond to perceived threats; it's not inherently wrong, and our goal is to understand and work with it rather than pathologize it.
Are Your Genes Secretly Controlling Your Behavior? & How to Truly Flourish
Q: Sure. So first, can you explain your interest in this topic and what it is you do?
I'm a clinical psychologist running a research lab focused on the genetics of human behavior, especially behaviors considered wrong or immoral, to understand how genetics and environment interact.
The Serious Problems with AI & Why Humans Drink Alcohol
Q: What personal experiences shaped the guest's views on alcohol?
Dr. Knowles shared his own struggle with dependence and recovery, underscoring how alcohol can transition from leisure to serious health issue and the importance of recognizing early warning signs like gray area drinking.
The Serious Problems with AI & Why Humans Drink Alcohol
Q: What are the health implications of alcohol consumption?
Alcohol has carcinogenic potential, particularly increasing breast cancer risk even at low levels, and there is no universally 'safe' level of consumption; risks vary by individual factors and country guidelines.
The Serious Problems with AI & Why Humans Drink Alcohol
Q: Why is there distrust about AI's reliability?
The lack of guaranteed accountability for AI-generated content and the tendency of models to produce plausible but not necessarily true outputs makes reliability a core concern, especially for high-stakes information.
