Freakonomics Radio · The Brilliant Mr. Feynman (Update) · 27 May 2026 podcast

He didn't have a lot of judgment with people, you know.

So he went to a topless bar and he liked watching the girls and he liked drawing them.

And, you know, he would have conversations.

And at some point, people were trying to shut the place down because...

I don't know, they'd had enough of it or something.

And so he showed up in court and said, no, no, this is a fine place.

I go here all the time.

Everything's above board.

And it could have been also true that the neighbors were right about all of their concerns because ultimately the place did shut down.

My point is that he had his own moral compass, which he was very strongly committed to.

We had a lot of artist friends that I think were incredibly attractive to him because they were just free thinkers.

As a shy seven or eight year old, I didn't relish the idea of telling a friend, no, I don't really want to spend the night at your house.

And so somehow my dad and I had this conversation and he said, well, I got an idea.

We'll have a code.

If you say so-and-so wants to know if I can spend the night,

I'll say, no, I'm sorry, not tonight.

And then I'll be the bad guy.

And if you say, is it all right?

Or if I ask with myself as the first, you know, I'm wondering if I can, is it okay if I spend the night, something like that, then I'll give you an honest answer.

And maybe it's yes, maybe it's no, but at least we know where we are.
