    1. From :podcast[The Art of Manliness]{sid=feed_362} podcast, episode :episode[#522: What Is Wit and Why Does the World Need It?]{sid=doc_60809}:

      Brett McKay: "So an aspect of wit is there has to be another person to understand the witty remark, right? If you say something witty and no one gets it, like, are you actually being witty?"

      James Geary: "That's a very relevant question for me because I often say something that I think is funny and nobody gets it. You're right. Wit needs witnesses. It's like if a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, does it make a noise? I think in the case of wit, it probably does not because wit does require wit." 1

    2. From :podcast[Jocko Podcast]{sid=feed_225} podcast, episode :episode[Jocko Podcast 415: How to Find Happiness. w/ Arthur C. Brooks]{sid=doc_31098}:

      Echo Charles: "As far as friendships go in person, better. So what about exchanging memes? Is that conducive to friendship?"

      Arthur C. Brooks: "It is. Humor is a great source of bonding, as long as they're not bitter or denigrating. Humor is the universal language of friendship. It just lights up your brain." 2

    3. From :podcast[The Joe Rogan Experience]{sid=feed_380} podcast, episode :episode[Joe Rogan Experience #1748 - Beeple]{sid=doc_65278}:

      Joe Rogan: "Just life, baby. You gotta just accept the fact now that you're big time, you're gonna have a lot of haters."

      Mike Winkelmann: "It's definitely, and it's honestly something that doesn't bother me, because I know my intentions with this artwork, and I know my intention is not to hurt people with it."

      Joe Rogan: "The people that are getting offended. Idiots. They're just idiots. If they're getting offended at your stuff, if they either enjoy it or they don't, that's it. If you're getting offended by it, go look in a fucking mirror." 3

    These exchanges highlight clever banter, humor, and insights on the role of wit in communication and relationships.
