When is it ethical to lie to someone? How can we tell when someone is deceiving us?
When is it ethical to lie to someone? How can we tell when someone is deceiving us? What are the most common lies we tell ourselves? Join Mae, Bisha, Ned and Steve who will try to figure it all out. This week, Mae wonders how to beat a lie detector test, Bisha investigates why children are such good liars and Ned has his mind read. Professional mentalist Philip Escoffey blows the gang's minds with his magical powers/mind reading ability/incredible magic tricks (you decide which) and Steve Ali speaks his truth, as always. It's a really good episode, honest.
