<h2>Strip-search hoax</h2>
<p>A prank caller pretending to be a police officer instructed fast food managers to strip-search female employees—forcing them to jog naked, do jumping jacks, and perform other humiliating acts. He made more than 70 of these calls in the United States over a 12-year period.</p>
<h2>Why do we obey?</h2>
<p>Some of the managers were charged with rape and kidnapping as a result of these pranks. How could they fall for such a prank?</p>
<p>The truth is, humans are programmed to respect authority. But why do we obey? In this episode, you&#8217;ll hear real audio from  <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=stanley+milgram%27s+obedience+experiments&amp;oq=Stanley+Milgram&amp;aqs=chrome.1.0l6.2040j0j7&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8">Stanley Milgram&#8217;s experiments on obedience and authority</a>. The results are shocking.</p>
<p><em>Disclaimer: We will be talking about sexual abuse and other disturbing topics. Listener discretion is advised.</em></p>
<h2>Bonus episode</h2>
<p>Donna Summers, the manager in Mount Washington, sued McDonald&#8217;s for failing to warn her about the previous hoaxes. She asked for $50 million. She was awarded $1 million in punitive damages and $100,000 in compensatory damages.</p>
<p>Listen to my conversation with her attorney Wendy Wagner.</p>
