Lex Fridman Podcast

Discussed The Blind Watchmaker

SmartLess

Discussed The Hustler
“I would go to Hollywood Billiards every day and shoot pool trying to be like Fast Eddie Felson in The Hustler.”
Discussed Barry Sonnenfeld, Call Your Mother
“Um Barry, so you've written this book, 'Barry Sonnenfeld: Call Your Mother.'”
Discussed Showtime
“So if you're a great player, you have to go there, so we're in this rare— they're going to eventually create other leagues, but anyway, Lakers came from, there's a great book by Jeff Perlman called Showtime, and I'm, as Will just said, I'm a crazy hoops junkie.”

Huberman Lab

Discussed The Good Gut
“Sonnenburg co-runs his laboratory with his spouse, Dr. Erica Sonnenburg, and together they've also authored a highly informative book titled "The Good Gut: Taking Control of Your Weight, Your Mood, and Your Long-Term Health."”
