Episode notes

I would just like to chime in with a resounding, i don't care. I mean, that's what it all came down to, is that these other teams, they can't stomach getting their ass kicked by the patriots and so they have to lay figure out some way to justify it. And even though it'sat the narrative isn't the same at all, it seems totally obvious to me that they made the right choice by not showing it. That's all anybody would have been talking about if, no, that's true. It's much sadder what happened, actually. But it would be sad if the art got lost in the controversy over whatever they erred

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.
