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!

In this episode, the question is: "Am I the a**hole for asking a question during a psychology presentation in school?"

Dan and Gayle mentioned a number of things throughout the episode, here they are:

--Here's a study about building credibility by saying "I don't know": https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4695262/

--"sympathetic" with "surprise" (both starting with "s"), and "parasympathetic" with "picnic" (both restful activities)
