Penn explains why the show is called "bullshit!" and why they can not call people "frauds" or "liars" but can call them "assholes" and "motherfuckers". Penn and Teller expose psychics and their claims of talking to people who are dead and prove that they use cold reading, where they guess thingsby the persons appearance and what they say.

Penn's introduction to the series: I'm Penn, this is my partner Teller and this is "Bullshit!". That's the name of our show. We're gonna hunt down as many pervades of bullshit as we can. Sure, we lie cheat and swindle, we've been known to deal a bit of bullshit ourselves, so some of you may ask why pee on someone else's parade. One important difference - we tell you we're lying. You'll notice more obscenity than we usually use. That's not just because it's on Showtime and we wanna get 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 mothefuckers and assholes - it's pretty safe. If we said it's all scams, we could also be in trouble. But bullshit, oddly, is safe. So forgive all the bullshit language. We're trying to talk about the truth without spending the rest of our lives in court because of litigious motherfuckers.
