Are you a Netflix Cheater? (33:58)
A Netflix study says a new kind of cheating is on the rise: More of us are sneaking away from our partners to watch that thing we promised we'd wait to watch with them. The phenomenon has tripled since 2013, Netflix says. According to the company's data, 48% of streaming couples in the U.S. include at least one partner who has "cheated" on the other. Producer Terry South shares how this has impacted his marriage and Dr. Townsend offers counsel on how to overcome the challenge of Netflix Cheating.

The listing showed a picture of the Cheeto side-by-side with a gorilla climbing a tree. This story ties in perfectly with our new sponsor. For over 27 years Cheesed Puffs has been providing customers with a taste of heaven in the form of little puffs of cheese that crunch when you bit into them and sing when you swallow them. And Cheesed Puffs’ newest product contains Non-GMO milk from hand-massaged cows. These puffs retail for a reasonable $1,000 per bag.
