Episode notes

There's a temptation in simplistic discourse for us to say, well, if you are saying a thing that is not true, then you are lying. I've watched stories go from complicated narratives to increasingly simple threads and i've seen in my own mind the the re imagining of things that twere, i believe he believed. And when you allow yourself to except that, all of a sudden things become possible that you wouldn't otherwise think, ah, it's no good. We've figured out how to call b s as a society on the internet, but we've not figured outHow to accept an apology. That's part of the adolescence that we're going through right now.

In this episode, we sit down with famed stage magician, infamous instructor of the school of scams, Brian Brushwood, whose new podcast explores the world's greatest con artists and con jobs from World War II to modern game shows.

We cover everything in this episode from why you can't con an honest person to the power of shame and fame to folk psychology to how the British conned Hitler using one of the oldest tricks in the book to how one man broke the code for Press Your Luck earning him the most money ever awarded in a single day on any program in the history of game shows.
