This weekly podcast comes to you from Veritas Psychology Partners, Dr. Dan Kessler and Dr. Gayle MacBride. Your host selects a conversation from the internet forums that neither psychology has heard or read before, and they give their unrehearsed, unvarnished opinions--essentially answering the question, "just who is the a**hole here?" The host brings in feedback from internet commentors to round out the discussion, and we close out each episode with a bonus conversation about any number of things! Stay tuned through the end to find out!

Today Gayle and Dan mentioned a couple of things during the podcast:

--Dr. Gayle MacBride mentions the " Region-Beta Paradox", here's perhaps the first article that discusses it: https://web.archive.org/web/20160304110109/http://www.scn.ucla.edu/pdf/PeculiarLongevity.pdf⁠

--Dr. Gayle MacBride also mentions something she thought was on NPR, but it turned out to be Inner Cosmos with David Eagelman's podcast, Ep 92: Why is it hard to keep a secret? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8EEdMNjjnU

In this episode, the question is: "Am I the a**hole for pranking my struggling friend with a fake lottery ticket?"
