We’re uncovering the truth about liars on this episode with psychologist and author Drew Curtis, PhD. We discuss pathological liars, why some people lie all the time (especially about insignificant things), and if there are ways to detect a liar. And of course we talk about lies and deception in dating – the point in a relationship where people lie most, the differences between what men and women lie about, the motivations for dishonesty, if you can regain trust after being deceived, and if “once a liar, always a liar” is true. Before Drew joins us, we’re talking about Rayna’s cowgirl fashion, Ashley’s favorite/most random fan encounter, and we’re popping off about people taking pics. Enjoy!
