In this laugh-out-loud and thought-provoking episode of The Enriched Mindset Podcast, Dr. Lee and Olivia Tryburski sit down with Dr. Yoel Inbar, Associate Professor at the University of Toronto and host of Two Psychologists, Four Beers.


From his obsession with Stardew Valley to an awkward date ruined by a rogue tomato skin, Dr. Inbar brings surprising charm and honesty to a conversation about one of psychology’s most stomach-churning topics: disgust. Dr. Inbar unpacks the evolutionary roots of disgust and how it sometimes backfires, subtly influencing how we judge others—without us even realizing it.


We also dive into the challenges of grad school, why Gen Z students are more anxious, whether RateMyProf really captures what makes a good teacher, and how Dr. Inbar handled controversy over comments made on his own podcast. It’s a wide-ranging and genuinely fun conversation about research, rejection, and what gives even the experts "the ick."


Whether you’re into psychology, politics, or just enjoy a good gross-out moment, this episode is weirdly relatable and totally fun.
