Colin McGinn says he doesn't like too much disgust in his humor. "I'm not proud of the fact that I'm laughing, but I am laughing" He's working on a book about negative emotions and how they can be used to get laughs.
The guest we've been waiting for--Nina Strohminger--joins us to talk about the connection between disgust and humor, cheap laughs, moral character and personal identity, and the British opt-in plan for porn. Plus: how psychologists measure erections and Dave goes Platonist about the form of hilarity. Tamler's daughter should have issued an extra strong disclaimer for this one.
