I'm listening to the Rogan podcast now (intermittently since it's so long). Elon is a very poor speaker and conveyor of ideas. It seems he has a hard way of articulating abstract ideas, and doesn't spend the time to explain them. He should take some speaking lessons for no other reason than to become more influential. I'm about an hour in, and he seems to barely be loosening up. I tend to be similar in that I'm socially awkward initially, and find a groove after about an hour. Part my difficulty is in letting go of whatever I'm thinking about or stressing over and fully engage in other topics, especially when they seem much less interesting than whatever I was thinking about.
When guys talk about sports, my eyes mostly glaze over. I enjoy watching a game here and there, especially with people very passionate and knowledgeable about the strategy, but I can't see myself investing much time into something that doesn't matter, and which changes every season.
