About this episode
Paul Bloom, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Yale, Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto, and author of The Sweet Spot: The Pleasures of Suffering and the Search for Meaning stops by to take his punishment and like it! Actually, BDSM is only a fraction of his truly fascinating look at everything from distance running to why sharp pain causes pleasure, but somehow nausea never does. Plus, the San Francisco Police vow to not use a phrase they've never used, Colorado Schools will once again say "Nazi," and Joan of Arc is she/they … but not actually "of Arc." Also, speaking of finding bizarre pleasure in pan—it's an Antwentig with song!
