The hosts discuss a scene from a movie where a character suggests moving his wife to another house and the tension caused by a family member living with the protagonist. They also mention a new sponsor, Daily Budget, and discuss its features and positive reviews, as well as the family member's money-making strategies through math and gambling.
VBW favorite Paul Bloom takes a short break from his Sam Harris duties to help us break down the Coen Brothers' ode to uncertainty, A Serious Man. Does inaction have consequences? Can you understand the cat but not the math? Why are there Hebrew letters carved into the back of a goy's teeth? Dybbuk or no Dybbuk? Why does God make us feel the questions if he’s not gonna give us any answers?
Plus, Paul defends the psych establishment against critiques from the podcast peons at Two Psychologists Four Beers and Very Bad Wizards.
