| 0:00.0 | So, Burdo, I watched the documentary about lying, and they presented a lot of research, psychological research, about lying, a lot of facts about lying, which seems like an oxymoron, and I thought I would talk with you about the documentary and about all the research I looked up, and we could discuss lying, what do you say, Burdo? |
| 0:18.5 | Let's do it. |
| 0:19.2 | This is the Psychology and Cell to Podcast, I'm your host, Dr. Kirk Honda, I'm a therapist, and I'm also a professor. |
| 0:24.3 | My name is Umberto Casinha, I make a triangular ice cube. |
| 0:28.0 | So, I acquired the following facts, this isn't the documentary, but from the internet, very different websites, brand-in-gale.com, littlethings.com and other places, tougher bluff, Burdo, Americans lie 11 times a week, tougher bluff. |
| 0:42.0 | 11 times a week? |
| 0:44.0 | Well, if we are talking about all sorts of little white lies included, then I'm going to go tough. |
| 0:50.5 | Yeah, it is tough. |
| 0:52.0 | What do you suppose they are measuring as an incident of a lie, exactly, you know what I mean? |
| 0:57.5 | I mean, to be completely literal, it would be any time that they make a statement non-ironically, that is factually not true. |
| 1:05.5 | Right. |
| 1:06.5 | But in practice, that's kind of odd, because there's so many relative things like, oh, did you part close? |
| 1:13.5 | Yeah, but you might disagree, but I'm not lying, I'm just kind of fudging the facts, but it's not a big deal. |
| 1:21.5 | Right, is lying, I'm obviously telling your spouse that you didn't cheat on them when you did cheat on them. |
| 1:27.5 | Right, that's clear. |
| 1:29.5 | But I'm guessing that's not the majority of these 11 times a week, is lying like when someone asks you, so did you tip them well? |
| 1:38.5 | And you're like, yeah, I tipped them pretty well, even though you kind of know, I only tip them. |
| 1:42.5 | Is that what we're talking about? |
| 1:44.5 | Right, I imagine that's the majority of these lies, it's like seemingly smaller inconsequential lying, or lying on an exam, or your boss says, so did you show up on time today? |
| 1:56.5 | And you're like, yeah, even though you're at events late or something, or you tell your boss, oh, I'm sorry, I didn't turn that in, I was real sick last night, even though you went out with your friends instead. |
| 2:07.5 | You know, I'm guessing those are the only ones. |
| 2:09.5 | Yeah, I will go with that. |
