"I'd rather have the extended moment sort of infinitely extended moment of waiting at the dentist for root canal and having them call your name," he says. "You know that you're going to have like a shitload of pain from now on to like a couple of weeks." But we don't want to ruin anything that's funny about it, so I just wanted to make a number of times I have relaxed poetic about the sorts of contributions that might be of value in our respective fields".

David and Tamler welcome author and environmental science professor Jennifer Jacquet to the podcast to discuss the pros and cons of shame. What's the difference between shame and guilt? Is shaming effective for generating social progress or getting tax cheats to pay up? Is twitter shaming on the rise or on its way out? And what does David do when he's alone in the dark?

But before all of that, David and Tamler introduce a new way to support the podcast--through our Patreon account (patreon.com/verybadwizards). Plus, we discuss the retraction of a press release announcing that a professor agreed to referee a journal article (!) And can one passage get Tamler, the eternal optimist, to hate philosophy?
