Ep 8. Stranger Danger

In season 6 episode 8 of Penn and Teller Bullshit, entitled "Stranger Danger," the dynamic duo turns their attention to the concept of stranger danger. They explore the widespread fear of strangers and examine whether or not it is warranted.

Throughout the episode, Penn and Teller interview experts in the field of child psychology, as well as parents and children themselves. They discuss the impact that messages about stranger danger can have on children, including increased anxiety and decreased confidence.

The episode also delves into the statistics surrounding child abduction and examines whether or not the fear of strangers is justified. Penn and Teller bring in real-life examples of instances where someone a child knows, rather than a stranger, was responsible for their abduction or harm.

In typical Penn and Teller fashion, the episode also includes some humor and magic tricks, as they attempt to illustrate their points using their signature style.

Overall, "Stranger Danger" challenges the commonly held belief that strangers are the biggest threat to children and encourages viewers to examine the facts before perpetuating this fear.
