    Why is Jimmy trying to get Trevor to have a kid? That’s some very personal business. Good show generally that introduces interesting conversations.

  • Jut the best

    The only thing that would make me love this podcast more would be getting to physically sit in the room with Trevor and Eugene and to have the intellect and wit to hang with them and the guest.

    I appreciate the variety of perspective and the consistent thoughtfulness that Trevor, Eugene, and their guests demonstrate throughout the conversations they are having. You all make me want to be a more informed, less judgmental, mentally agile person

    Lastly, Eugene’s laugh is the best, I cannot relate ... more

  • Colin Kaepernick as your guest.

    What an interesting and informative conversation with you three. I have long been aware of Colin as I was a football player at UNR in 1979 and 1980. Fascinating hearing his background and insights into his life so far. I will definitely read his book! Your interview was insightful and also had me laughing uncontrollably at times. Thank Trevor!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Adam Grant: Fix Your Vibe
Q: How do you go beyond a fleeting greeting with strangers and begin building a meaningful connection?
Grant suggests choosing whether to start a conversation or an activity, then creating opportunities through shared interests and proximity. Joining a club or class for something already enjoyable can help people meet potential friends or collaborators without making socializing the sole purpose.
Adam Grant: Fix Your Vibe
Q: What would your advice be to a student who feels lonely even when they are with people?
Grant recommends changing social routines because parties often create light, surface-level interactions. He suggests arranging activities and joining groups where people already share an interest, giving them opportunities to connect through repeated interaction.
Better in Person Podcast | How Gary Gulman Turned Depression Into Comedy Gold
Q: You were very good at basketball when you were a kid. But you ended up playing not college basketball, but college football. What happened with you in basketball in there?
Gulman says he lacked confidence, prioritized earning a scholarship over enjoying basketball, and was discouraged by a poor coach. Football coaches offered the enthusiasm he had wanted, and he received a four-year football scholarship.
Better in Person Podcast | How Gary Gulman Turned Depression Into Comedy Gold
Q: What does basketball do for you?
Gulman says basketball is good for the heart and acts as an anti-anxiety outlet; after recovering from depression, rediscovering the game also helped him feel better.
Lera Boroditsky: How Language Secretly Changes Your Personality
Q: How does speaking multiple languages influence the way you think about yourself across different contexts?
Bilinguals often feel like they inhabit different aspects of their personality depending on the language they are using, with Mandarin drawing out one set of traits and English another, though neither is a perfect monolingual representation.
