    We got caught in a lie: cheating, Survivor 50, and the psychology of liars
    Mar 4 2026

    We got caught in a lie. So today we are going to explain the ways we have lied, why Greg can't stop exaggerating and how to spot if someone is cheating. We will also relate it to Mitch's time on Big Brother and to Survivor 50 + The Traitors. These shows use lying and manipulation in unique ways so we will explain that today as well. This episode is all about the science of lying.

  • Nipple Stimulation: why SOME people like it?

    Nipple Stimulation: why SOME people like it?
    Feb 18 2026

    Nipple sensitivity is a scientific mystery in many ways. There are few studies on it, but the the information that does exist is fascinating. It is more common in women, men and women can be both aroused or turned off by it and the physiology is extremely complicated. We disagree about how our nipples make us feel - so today this episode is all about ... NIPPLES!
