Look around, everyone. Every car you see is probably on AutoTrader. Like that sleek convertible that turned heads when it picked you up from the airport, or the custom ride from your favorite van life couple on social media. Even that vintage sports car that's tailing you a little too closely. New cars, used cars, electric cars, even flying cars. Okay, no flying cars yet, but as soon as those things get invented, they'll be on AutoTrader. If you see a car you like, it's probably on AutoTrader. That's kind of their thing. AutoTrader.

Hi everybody, it's your old pal Josh, and for this week's Select, I've chosen our episode from August of 2021, where we take a look at one of the most unethical social psychology experiments in the history of the field, where Dr. Martin Rokic assembled three men who each believed he was Christ, put them in a room together, and sat back and waited for the fireworks to start. And what came out of it is both an indictment and an inspiring affirmation of humanity. And on a personal note, I would like to wish my sweet, sweet wife, Yumi, a very big happy birthday. Enjoy.
Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, a production of iHeartRadio.
Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh and there's Chuck and Dave is here with us today and we're all just quietly holding hands. Now we have to stop and come into the real world and start talking to you fine people for this episode of Stuff You Should Know. My lip got caught in my tooth when I said you and it came out a little weird.
It's funny. My daughter finally lost her first tooth, and it's changing the way she talks. She's got a little funny little lisp, and she's always tonguing on it, and I'm like, I'm going to be there with you soon. I've got to get this front one redone.
Right. The old redid.
Yeah, I'm going to wait until right before we have live shows so I can pull that front tooth again.
Nice. That'll be a special treat for everybody, especially me.
Oh, you were used to it.
I really was. The worst was when you had that little case that you would put it in and it had vents so the smell could waft out of it.
Yeah. I gave up after the first one on wearing that thing. I was just like, who cares?
Yeah. No, it was great. It was very liberating.
It was, as is this podcast episode.
I think this is going to be a good one because, Chuck, I've been wanting to talk about this for a really long time. This is one of those things that you, like, hear about – And you're like, wait, what? That can't be right. And then you read a little more about it and a little more and it just keeps getting worse and worse. But yet it's just kind of one of the, like a landmark study in the field of psychology that we're talking about today.
Yeah, The Three Christs of Hypsilanti. And I studied this. I remember this from studying it in psychology class in college and got kind of into it at the time.
You started wearing, like, Three Christs t-shirts and stuff.
I followed them on tour. It was great. I don't—for some reason, I thought I read the book, but— I don't think I read the book. I think we just covered the book in college and in a psychology class. Like, I don't think they made you read the whole book. We basically just kind of went over it. But I had been pretty fascinated for years.
