"I couldn't prepare some, some retort, because i don't even know tha tom brady was suspended. He was suspended for four games for something they have no evidence that he did," the commissioner said. "They nee to just make an example of yes, it was like, probably the biggest case of scape goating since, like, drifus in, you know, anti semitic 19 11."

David and Tamler return after an end of summer hiatus to finally talk about the ethics of deception….eventually. But first they break down a recent article in the journal Science documenting an attempt to replicate 100 recent psychology experiments. What does it mean that just over 1/3 of the studies were successfully replicated? Is social psychology in crisis or is this just how science works? Will David somehow try to pin the blame on philosophers?

Plus--a brief and almost certainly regrettable foray into the Ashley Madison hack, the neuroscience of lying to your kids about Santa, and we announce a new way to contact us to help celebrate our 75th anniversary.
