Jimmy Carr: My Mom’s Depression Made Me Funny

What makes a joke work, and why are we so afraid to have real conversations? British comedian Jimmy Carr joins Trevor and Eugene to break down the mechanics of comedy, the rise of AI, and what we’re losing as human connection becomes harder to find. Jimmy shares how making his depressed mother laugh helped launch his career, what writing a book about the structure of jokes taught him about being funny, and why dark humor can help us confront the things that scare us most. It’s a funny, surprisingly vulnerable conversation about comedy, technology, and why making each other laugh may be one of the most human things we do. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Good Relationships Need Better Fights

Conflict is not toxic or immoral. In fact, it's generative and the lifeblood of our relationships. It isn't something to avoid. It matters, and it can even bring us closer together. Priya Parker, author of The Art of Fighting, joins Esther to dig into how conflict can be a productive force in our relationships rather than something to fear.

making female friendships? // EP 109

this week i talk about friendship and why making friends in your 20s feels so fucking complicated. i get into wanting a friend group for basically the first time in my life, the difference between attracting chaotic people and actually choosing to keep them around, and why someone feeling instantly familiar isn't always a good sign. turns out feeling like home and actually being safe might be two completely different things. enjoy love u Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

the danger of seeing the good in people

we’re back with another advice session from your submissions and this week we talk about toxic relationships, trauma bonds, and the danger of seeing the good in people who consistently hurt you. i get into why bad relationships can feel impossible to leave, why it sometimes feels like the person who hurt you “wins,” and how compassion can slowly turn into self-betrayal if you’re not careful. we also talk about boundaries, self-honor, and the difference between loving someone and sacrificing yourself for them. this one is about protecting your heart without losing your ability to love. love u enjoy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Cleo Abram: What Could Go Right?

Emmy-nominated video journalist Cleo Abram joins Trevor and Eugene to talk about Huge If True, her hit YouTube series that takes an optimistic approach to science and emerging technology. The three explore how asking “what could go right?” might be the most powerful tool we have for moving humanity forward, why optimism isn’t naïve but necessary, and how the physics of curling (the most divisive Olympic sport) can be used as an example of pessimism keeping us from imagining a better world.
