Episode notes

I have a flaw in that i can't handle lines. If there's a giant line for anything, i'd rather not do the thing than go through the line. I think it's an emergent property of the type of person. But along with that character comes the flaw of once you've seen success, this might be too, too far afield. A hard corp belief that anything is possible doesn't lead to those tragic situations like steve jobs.

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.
