Penn: "You'll notice more obscenity than we usually use. That's not just because it's on Showtime and we want to get some attention. It's also a legal matter. If one calls people liars and quacks, one can be sued and lose a lot of one's money. But "motherf*ckers" and "assh*les" is pretty safe. If we said it was all scams we could also be in trouble but "bullsh*t!", oddly, is safe. So forgive all the "bullsh*t" language. We're trying to talk about the truth without spending the rest of our lives in court because of litigious motherf*ckers."

Source: quoted from this episode
William James, 19th- and early 20th-century philosopher and scientist, who wrote "The Will to Believe" and "Varieties of Religious Experience." (He's the brother of the novelist Henry James.) He and his colleagues investigated, and never debunked, an alleged psychic known as Mrs. Piper. One thing that can be said of her: she made no money off her professed abilities, something the psychics profiled on this show cannot claim.
