Greg, Please stop! Stop using the same recycled analogies and euphemisms like “fold in.” They’re tired, predictable, and painfully lazy. On top of that, you give every single guest the exact same follow-up about how their answer was “a great summary,” as if it’s some spontaneous insight instead of a scripted reflex. It’s stale, it’s transparent, and it makes the conversation feel mechanical. Nothing about it sounds thoughtful or engaged anymore. And while you’re at it, check your f-ing vocal fry—it’s distracting, grating, and only amplifies how performative all of this has become. Also, one of the last people who should correct a guest’s pronunciation of an English word—or any word—is Greg.

The best part about Greg and THC is that it is barely a conversation. Greg only sets the course, the guest is the captain. Greg would have a good career in enterprise sales. There is an artform to asking a simple question which generates minutes of dialogue from the other person. If Greg were bad at interviewing you would get a lot of one sentence answers requiring constant "conversation" to keep the guest flowing.
If you want a conversation stick to Rogan. Four hours of "Bro did you see when??" and "Meat is soooo gooood". THC is a guided college dissertation series.
😳
You need to go ground yourself ("take meds") and/or just go listen to a different podcast.
Greg is mechanically a great interviewer and mostly stays out of the way of the guest saying everything they want. He asks informed 2nd and 3rd degree questions, and asks specific questions that steer the conversation and cover the breadth of the guest's material (often the guest is not naturally good at presenting their own material).
I find Greg to be the best interviewer in the space because:
He actually digests as much as the material as he can, essentially making his own full report on the topic, and which I think begins to form genuine questions which is so much deeper and more intriguing than other surface-level (lazy) interview shows.
He asks those unanswered questions, the one's where you "wait why didn't they ask about *this thing*???"
He has a pretty reasonable, well rounded take on the "conspiracy world" and is a man of the people. The kinda guy you could smoke a blunt with.
.
Anyway, you're actually here because the content and quality of thc is incredible but you're whining because of turns' of phrase and vocal pitch which don't matter unless you're weirdly shallow and are paying attention to the parts of the show that don't matter. Fuck off or shut up.
I disagree .
I like the use of "fold in". I have adopted it in my own vocal repertoire and found it to be a helpful way of communicating ideas. Greg is a very sound interviewer who isn't perfect, but is damned close. Chill dude.
