Episode We got caught in a lie: cheating, Survivor 50, and the psychology of liars

0:00 1:00:25

We got caught in a lie. So today we are going to explain the ways we have lied, why Greg can't stop exaggerating and how to spot if someone is cheating. We will also relate it to Mitch's time on Big Brother and to Survivor 50 + The Traitors. These shows use lying and manipulation in unique ways so we will explain that today as well. This episode is all about the science of lying.
