1 episode"305. The Humor Habit: Why Great Communicators Think Like Comedians"
Matt Abrahams interviews Chris Duffy about his book Humor Me. Abrahams praises it as both informative about humor and genuinely funny in itself. Duffy discusses key concepts from the book, including the unwritten rules of comedy, the "elevators, not rocket ships" principle, and the idea of "conversational doorknobs"—a metaphor for statements that open new directions in conversation, drawn from an interview Duffy conducted with researcher Adam Mastroianni.
