The Dark Triad Explained Badly

This week on Between the States, Dan, Jared, and Noel dive into the Dark Triad: narcissism, sociopathy, and Machiavellian behavior. What starts as a conversation about personality types quickly turns into a chaotic breakdown of grocery cart abandoners, loud movie talkers, manipulative salesmen, billboard lawyers, and whether society rewards confidence more than competence.The guys also wander into Mother’s Day stories, pergolas versus pavilions, pellet smokers, Trump phones, license plate mysteries, and the birth of their own personality system: jackasses, pricks, social engineers, and the surprisingly wholesome “Humboff.”If you have ever wondered whether your boss, your ex, your favorite influencer, or the person who leaves trash in a McDonald’s drive-thru belongs somewhere on the Dark Triad, this episode may not give you a professional diagnosis, but it will definitely make you laugh.Topics include: Dark Triad personality traits, narcissists, sociopaths, Machiavellian behavior, social media narcissism, toxic confidence, bad personality types, funny psychology, comedy podcast, and chaotic friend-group conversations.Send us Fan MailSupport the showEpisodes available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@BetweenTheStates Follow us on Social Media:Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Between-The-States/61574045351917/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/betweenthestatespod/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@betweenthestatesBlueSky:https://bsky.app/profile/betweenthestates.bsky.socialReddit:https://www.reddit.com/r/BetweenTheStates/Comments, questions, or suggestions can be sent to: [email protected] way to support the show: https://www.patreon.com/BetweentheStates
