- 0:18Speaker 2: No last day, Ham, would you come into some money?
- 0:25Speaker 3: Of course I did. I finally got my settlement check.
- 0:29Speaker 3: Here's the thing, here's.
- 0:30Speaker 2: This is this part real? Do you actually have a
- 0:33Speaker 2: settlement check? I do have a settlement check. Yeah, And
- 0:36Speaker 2: I'm not gonna need to work here anymore.
- 0:38Speaker 3: That's what I mean. I love you, Gabe, but I
- 0:42Speaker 3: just got.
- 0:42Speaker 1: So much money, honey, that I don't need to work anymore.
- 0:45Speaker 3: Here's the thing I got.
- 0:46Speaker 2: I have that show I've always dreamed of.
- 0:49Speaker 3: What Gabe, Go ahead, say it.
- 0:53Speaker 2: Gabe and the nobody just kidding, I'm just kidding.
- 0:59Speaker 1: I've I filed a claim years ago because all of
- 1:03Speaker 1: my personal information showed up in an Equifax data breach.
- 1:09Speaker 2: Okay this sounds real now, yeah?
- 1:11Speaker 3: Yeah, And so I found this, I mean years ago, and.
- 1:15Speaker 1: I didn't know that anything was gonna come of it.
- 1:18Speaker 1: I just kept getting emails asking for more information, more information,
- 1:21Speaker 1: and finally I got the email yesterday that my settlement
- 1:27Speaker 1: is being paid out to me. Then I had to
- 1:29Speaker 1: do more hoops. I had to fill out more paperwork.
- 1:33Speaker 1: I finally got my settlement.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Oh where are we going to lunch?
- 1:38Speaker 1: We're going to cases to split one piece of pizza.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Bro it was seven dollars and forty four cents.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Oh it's you didn't even get a tenor it doesn't
- 1:48Speaker 2: have two digits in it.
- 1:50Speaker 3: No, I lied to you. I'm not quitting. If anything,
- 1:53Speaker 3: I need to pick up more.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Hours your your data was worth less than eight bucks.
- 2:00Speaker 2: When you put it like that, it's kind of sad.
- 2:04Speaker 3: Yeah, that made me feel worse.
- 2:06Speaker 1: You know. The wild thing, though, is I was not
- 2:08Speaker 1: lying about having to jump through all these swoops and
- 2:10Speaker 1: fill out all this paperwork.
- 2:12Speaker 3: I had to.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Do all kinds of things just for them to give
- 2:15Speaker 1: me a virtual master card prepaid with seven dollars and
- 2:23Speaker 1: forty four cents.
- 2:24Speaker 2: So they didn't even send you a hard copy of
- 2:27Speaker 2: the car. You have to do like some online shopping.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Yeah, it's because the hard copy of the card would
- 2:32Speaker 1: have cost more than how.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Much was on it. Don't you think it's kind of funny?
- 2:36Speaker 2: Your data was breached, most likely via some online deal,
- 2:39Speaker 2: and now you have to redo some online shopping to
- 2:42Speaker 2: use less than eight dollars.
- 2:44Speaker 1: If anything, That just means I've got another settlement coming by.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Way, Angie. What's your little victory today.
- 2:56Speaker 1: That I made it to work? And why is that
- 2:58Speaker 1: a little victory? Because my gas light being on and
- 3:02Speaker 1: I forgot, and I thought, I can't stop on my
- 3:05Speaker 1: way to work. I don't stop at gas stations when
- 3:07Speaker 1: it's dark out because I get.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Scared that I'll be murdered.
- 3:11Speaker 1: So I just drove to work, living on a prayer,
- 3:15Speaker 1: and I made it. But when we get out of here,
- 3:17Speaker 1: I have to immediately go to a gas station.
- 3:19Speaker 3: But I made it to work gaslight on.
- 3:21Speaker 2: One of the worst choices you can make as an
- 3:24Speaker 2: adult is oh, i'll get gas tomorrow.
- 3:27Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'll get.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Gas in the morning. It's the worst choice you can make.
- 3:31Speaker 3: And I usually don't even do that.
- 3:34Speaker 1: But it's I just flat out forgot, is what the
- 3:37Speaker 1: problem was.
- 3:37Speaker 3: So we'll see if I make it home.
- 3:42Speaker 2: You'll be all right. I'm sure my little victory. Yesterday,
- 3:45Speaker 2: my wife and I said on the couch and got
- 3:47Speaker 2: caught up on Handmade's Tail, which we watched pretty currently.
- 3:51Speaker 2: We I think we only had to watch like one
- 3:53Speaker 2: or two episodes, so it wasn't like we were way
- 3:55Speaker 2: behind but yeah, with the final episode is the next episode,
- 3:59Speaker 2: and I want to see how it ends, Yeah, because
- 4:01Speaker 2: I know they're based on a book, and there is
- 4:03Speaker 2: a tiny like part of me that wants to start
- 4:05Speaker 2: to cheat and look up the book so I know
- 4:07Speaker 2: what happened. Yeah, but I refuse to do it. So
- 4:12Speaker 2: we had a very just chill day yesterday, very laid
- 4:14Speaker 2: back at the Glynten house, watching Handmaids S Tales.
- 4:16Speaker 3: That is a victory, you know what. I like?
- 4:18Speaker 1: Handmaid's Tale comes out like weekly, right, it's not a
- 4:22Speaker 1: binge series, and I feel like, oh no, you have
- 4:25Speaker 1: to wait. Yeah, yeah, can we get back to that.
- 4:28Speaker 1: I miss that because when you have to binge it
- 4:30Speaker 1: then spoilers everywhere, Like what if I couldn't get to
- 4:33Speaker 1: it in time?
- 4:34Speaker 2: Yeah, there is a ketchup. There is something about the
- 4:36Speaker 2: weekly like appointment viewing kind of episodes or you know,
- 4:40Speaker 2: or you can watch them on your own time, but
- 4:42Speaker 2: you can only get them once a week. I do
- 4:44Speaker 2: kind of like that because then it feels like you're
- 4:45Speaker 2: watching it with a bunch of people as a Yes, Saturday,
- 4:49Speaker 2: I'm just gonna burn through these six episodes real quick
- 4:52Speaker 2: or whatever. But I'm yeah, I'm a fan of that too.
- 4:55Speaker 2: I'm kind of with you. But instead of one, how
- 4:57Speaker 2: about give us two a week?
- 4:59Speaker 3: Okay? I like that's compromise.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll meet somewhere in the middle. Now. I discovered
- 5:08Speaker 2: this online, Angie. If there was one thing that gives
- 5:12Speaker 2: away that you are lying, what do you think it is?
- 5:16Speaker 2: Do you have a guess? No? What?
- 5:20Speaker 3: Like? What would give away for sure that I'm lying?
- 5:22Speaker 2: Yes, or at least there's something on your body that
- 5:26Speaker 2: is dubbed the most honest I'll put it that way.
- 5:28Speaker 3: Oh, all my hips because they don't lie.
- 5:33Speaker 2: You know, there was a tiny part of me that
- 5:37Speaker 2: once I said it, I knew I was in trouble there.
- 5:41Speaker 3: Oh man, thanks for setting that one up for me.
- 5:43Speaker 1: No, but I don't know what is what's dubbed the
- 5:46Speaker 1: most honest body part?
- 5:48Speaker 2: Well, according to one trained FBI expert, he says, the feet.
- 5:54Speaker 2: They are the most honest part of your body, and
- 5:56Speaker 2: they show your true intentions. If you're in a conversation
- 6:00Speaker 2: with someone you don't want to be in and you're
- 6:03Speaker 2: trying to get going, your feet genuinely or generally will
- 6:06Speaker 2: point like to the door or to the down the
- 6:09Speaker 2: grocery aisle because you don't want to talk to whoever. Really,
- 6:12Speaker 2: it's kind of hard to hide your intentions with your feet.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Who said this anx FBI experts Okay, well, Gabe, as
- 6:20Speaker 1: it so happens, I actually know an expert in lying.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Really yeah, my ex husband. No, I'm kidding, no, But
- 6:32Speaker 1: the thing is, I'm not the brightest person in the land,
- 6:35Speaker 1: and so I surround myself with very bright people to
- 6:38Speaker 1: make myself feel better. And one of my close friends, Amy,
- 6:43Speaker 1: she is some sort of a psychologist who has an
- 6:47Speaker 1: expertise in lying. Really yes, And so I think we
- 6:52Speaker 1: need to get her to dispel some myths about.
- 6:56Speaker 3: Okay, how you can tell someone is lying.
- 6:58Speaker 2: She works in something psychology, you said.
- 7:00Speaker 3: Yeah, some sort of psychology that has to.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Do with lying. She sounds like a villain in a
- 7:04Speaker 2: Batman movie or something. Oh that maybe she is. All right, Well,
- 7:09Speaker 2: let's we'll get Amy here and we'll dispel some myths
- 7:13Speaker 2: about lying. Plus, we want to reach out to you.
- 7:17Speaker 2: How do you kind of tell if someone's lying? What's
- 7:20Speaker 2: your alert? Alert alert? This person is full of it? Yeah,
- 7:24Speaker 2: that that you've kind of picked up over your years. Well,
- 7:28Speaker 2: there is an FBI trained expert who recently came out
- 7:31Speaker 2: and said, your feet are dubbed as the most honest
- 7:36Speaker 2: and will show your true intentions. It's hard to lie
- 7:42Speaker 2: with your feet, And so we were curious this morning,
- 7:45Speaker 2: what are some clues for you where your kind of
- 7:48Speaker 2: lie radar goes off and you're like, you know, I
- 7:51Speaker 2: think this person is full of it. Let us know.
- 7:53Speaker 2: It's seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven.
- 7:56Speaker 2: What's something for you where you are like, you know,
- 7:59Speaker 2: that doesn't feel honest.
- 8:01Speaker 1: I can tell when my kids are lying, based on
- 8:05Speaker 1: the little one in particular. He'll start a sentence like
- 8:08Speaker 1: this a mom like he's already like trying to laugh
- 8:14Speaker 1: and like, and so I know anything coming out of
- 8:18Speaker 1: his mouth is going to be a bit of a lie. Sure,
- 8:22Speaker 1: but with but that's like your own kids, you know, you,
- 8:25Speaker 1: I feel like you kind of develop a sense for
- 8:27Speaker 1: like when they're lying, especially when they're little, like you
- 8:30Speaker 1: can disprove their lives pretty easily, just pick them apart.
- 8:34Speaker 3: Yeah, what about you, gabe.
- 8:36Speaker 2: It is just a feeling, I think, you know what,
- 8:40Speaker 2: Here's what I'll say. There's a big difference between a
- 8:42Speaker 2: big giant lie, which I can't ever tell. I'll believe
- 8:44Speaker 2: anything anyone tells me, basically, but if someone wants to
- 8:48Speaker 2: exaggerate the truth on a really cool story. You know,
- 8:52Speaker 2: one of my buddies is out golfing and he's talking about,
- 8:54Speaker 2: you know, the golf round of his life. I'll go
- 8:57Speaker 2: ahead and let him sell that to me.
- 8:59Speaker 3: Oh okay, you just.
- 9:02Speaker 2: Yeah, you know I played golf with you before, right right,
- 9:05Speaker 2: you know, I know what that swing looks like. You
- 9:07Speaker 2: didn't shoot a seventy three. But you can sell that
- 9:11Speaker 2: to me, and I will accept it as the truth,
- 9:14Speaker 2: all right. To me, it's just a gut feeling. If
- 9:15Speaker 2: something sounds it's I go by that golden rue, golden rule.
- 9:19Speaker 2: If it's too good to be true, it's probably the case. Okay,
- 9:23Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. Right well, we do have
- 9:26Speaker 2: Cody on the line. Cody, how do you know if
- 9:28Speaker 2: someone is lying or what's your kind of red flag?
- 9:31Speaker 2: I can always tell that my brother is lying. As
- 9:33Speaker 2: soon as he does, he gets really quiet, which is
- 9:36Speaker 2: just super strange for him. My brother loves to talk,
- 9:39Speaker 2: but not when he lies. Though. Now we know how
- 9:42Speaker 2: to tell Fangie's fibbing. Here on the big fling show
- 9:47Speaker 2: Miranda What about You.
- 9:49Speaker 1: For me, it's over little cracks, like when someone I
- 9:52Speaker 1: trust suddenly starts choosing your words too carefully, or what's
- 9:56Speaker 1: at the wrong moment to cover the tension. Yeah, that's
- 9:59Speaker 1: what my kid does, the laughing at a weird moment
- 10:02Speaker 1: where it's like, Okay, you're lying.
- 10:04Speaker 3: Here's the thing.
- 10:05Speaker 1: I happen to know an expert in lying.
- 10:09Speaker 3: My good friend Amy is. I mean, I'll let her.
- 10:12Speaker 1: I never get her title right, so I'll let her
- 10:14Speaker 1: say what she is, but she will dispel some of
- 10:16Speaker 1: the myths about lying and how you can tell when
- 10:19Speaker 1: someone's lying.
- 10:20Speaker 4: I am a cognitive psychologist with expertise in human memory,
- 10:25Speaker 4: eye movements, and polygraphy. Polygraphy is the scientific study of
- 10:31Speaker 4: lie detection. If you've ever heard of a polygraph test,
- 10:34Speaker 4: that's what it's in reference to. Now, there's a lot
- 10:36Speaker 4: of myths and beliefs surround our ability to be able
- 10:40Speaker 4: to detect lies, and one of the most common ones
- 10:44Speaker 4: is where your eyes look as you're speaking. These myths
- 10:48Speaker 4: have been popularized by TV shows like Lie to Me,
- 10:51Speaker 4: and one of the fallacies or one of the lies
- 10:54Speaker 4: that are told about light detection is If you watch
- 10:57Speaker 4: somebody's eyes and they go to the upper right, they're
- 11:00Speaker 4: accessing the creative part of their brain, and that means
- 11:03Speaker 4: that they are making something up. Or if they're looking down,
- 11:07Speaker 4: that means that they're accessing the emotional part of their brain,
- 11:10Speaker 4: which means that they're feeling stressed or anxious. Therefore they're lying.
- 11:14Speaker 4: I can tell you with absolute certainty that there is
- 11:18Speaker 4: no foundation scientifically for these kinds of claims. We cannot
- 11:23Speaker 4: as humans look at another human being and tell with
- 11:28Speaker 4: any sort of certainty whether or not they're lying.
- 11:31Speaker 2: Isn't that a little bit disappointing?
- 11:34Speaker 1: Yeah, except for now, if I'm lying, I can be like, no,
- 11:38Speaker 1: you can't tell what I'm lying because science.
- 11:41Speaker 2: Yeah, am I the problem? The problem? This was a
- 11:50Speaker 2: great email.
- 11:51Speaker 1: Yeah, we got an email from Tyler. He needs to
- 11:53Speaker 1: know if he's the problem. Hi, gab An Angie. My
- 11:56Speaker 1: name's Tyler and I just got married to my beautiful wife, Jenna.
- 11:59Speaker 1: But we're all already having our first big fight. Like
- 12:02Speaker 1: I said, we just got married, beautiful day, great memories,
- 12:05Speaker 1: but there's one thing that had been bugging me. We
- 12:08Speaker 1: had a guest RSVP yes to our wedding and even
- 12:12Speaker 1: confirmed again a week before. Then the day of never
- 12:16Speaker 1: showed up, didn't call her, text, just didn't show up.
- 12:19Speaker 1: We paid per person for the reception, which wasn't cheap.
- 12:22Speaker 3: Oh don't I know it. So I ended up.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Sending him an invoice for the cost of his plate.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Nothing crazy, just a polite message with the breakdown and
- 12:31Speaker 1: a note about why we were sending it. My wife
- 12:34Speaker 1: thinks that was petty and doesn't like that I put
- 12:37Speaker 1: her name on the note either. She says, I'm starting
- 12:41Speaker 1: drama for no reason and burning bridges. But I feel
- 12:44Speaker 1: like if you say you're coming, you should show up
- 12:48Speaker 1: or at least let someone know if plans change. It
- 12:51Speaker 1: wasn't about the money as much as the principle.
- 12:55Speaker 2: So I will say this is something I don't think
- 12:57Speaker 2: I would ever do, but I won thousand percent respect
- 13:00Speaker 2: this out of Tyler. I love this move.
- 13:02Speaker 3: You wouldn't do it, but you support Tyler.
- 13:04Speaker 2: Doing I would never do it. I wouldn't have the uh,
- 13:07Speaker 2: we'll use the word gumption. I wouldn't have the gumption
- 13:09Speaker 2: to do it. But I love that he did. Absolutely
- 13:14Speaker 2: get your thirty bucks or whatever you thirty bucks.
- 13:18Speaker 1: I'm sure it was not thirty bucks per head per pleate.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Thirty twenty something like that. If there's no way, it's
- 13:23Speaker 2: like seventy.
- 13:25Speaker 1: Yeah, that's like the starting rate usually.
- 13:28Speaker 2: Yeah, send him another invoice and charge him for the tip.
- 13:33Speaker 2: Hold on, I gotta do some googling.
- 13:34Speaker 3: Here's the thing he had me.
- 13:37Speaker 1: I was initially on his side, although I also wouldn't
- 13:40Speaker 1: have the stones to send the invoice. However, when I
- 13:45Speaker 1: got to the bottom, to the part where he said
- 13:47Speaker 1: it wasn't about the money as much as the principal,
- 13:51Speaker 1: that's where for me it's like, Okay, I agree with
- 13:54Speaker 1: your wife, Jenna now that it's like starting drama for
- 13:58Speaker 1: no reason, because if the issue was listen time swiftly hard,
- 14:02Speaker 1: the issue was paying per plate. It really feels like
- 14:05Speaker 1: such a waste of money when someone doesn't show up
- 14:09Speaker 1: and then you want that money back. I get wanting that,
- 14:12Speaker 1: And even though I wouldn't do it, I understand sending
- 14:15Speaker 1: the invoice. The fact that he says it was not
- 14:18Speaker 1: about the money as much as it was the principle,
- 14:21Speaker 1: I feel like you could have addressed this a different
- 14:24Speaker 1: way then, No, Tyler, do.
- 14:26Speaker 2: You wish he would have just said it's about the money.
- 14:28Speaker 2: I want my money back.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't respect it if he was like, I'm
- 14:32Speaker 1: a brokie. But because it's about the principle, then I
- 14:36Speaker 1: think it's like, okay, well then maybe you could have
- 14:39Speaker 1: called him, Like, sending an invoice does adut a layer
- 14:43Speaker 1: of petty to it. Now. I do love petty for
- 14:47Speaker 1: a lot of things, but if it's causing a situation
- 14:51Speaker 1: with your wife, you're a new wife, maybe you should
- 14:54Speaker 1: pull back. I mean, the damage is done in that
- 14:57Speaker 1: he already sent it. But I don't know, man, I
- 15:01Speaker 1: think you need to apologize.
- 15:03Speaker 2: Dah, this is so wildly disrespectful that I kind of
- 15:06Speaker 2: love it.
- 15:06Speaker 3: Of course you do.
- 15:07Speaker 2: Also though, like whose side is? Who was the person
- 15:13Speaker 2: who didn't show up? And it was like Tyler's friend
- 15:15Speaker 2: or is it your wife's friend? Because if it's your
- 15:17Speaker 2: wife's friend, that's hilarious. If it's like your cousin, then
- 15:23Speaker 2: it's like, well just call her, text your cousin and
- 15:25Speaker 2: be like, dude, venmo me the money please.
- 15:26Speaker 3: Oh that's funny. Okay, we need your input.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Seven oh one two eight oh one ninety eight seven
- 15:32Speaker 1: Is Tyler the problem for sending an invoice for a
- 15:36Speaker 1: guest who didn't show up to his wedding.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Britney Snow, who you might know from Pitch Perfect.
- 15:45Speaker 3: She's also in The Night Ages.
- 15:46Speaker 2: That's right, The Night Agent. I can remember it was called.
- 15:49Speaker 2: But she was recently in an interview and she admitted
- 15:52Speaker 2: something that, frankly, I would never say out loud to anyone.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Maybe ever, I'd call it quits. Actually probably if this happened.
- 15:59Speaker 2: What Britney Snow came out and said that there was
- 16:03Speaker 2: a famous DJ who fell asleep while making out with her.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Oh who was that more embarrassing for?
- 16:13Speaker 3: I don't know, David Ghettu Broke.
- 16:18Speaker 2: I don't know. I have no idea. That's just the
- 16:21Speaker 2: first one that came to mind.
- 16:22Speaker 3: Oh okay, she's just keeping that on that.
- 16:24Speaker 2: I would not How drunk do you have to beat
- 16:26Speaker 2: to fall asleep making.
- 16:28Speaker 3: Out with someone pretty drunk? I guess, But no, I can.
- 16:34Speaker 2: You know.
- 16:34Speaker 3: I can't believe she admitted this.
- 16:37Speaker 2: In an interview.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Nonetheless, I would take that to the grave, because even
- 16:41Speaker 1: if it's like, well he must have been drunk or something,
- 16:44Speaker 1: or am I that boring?
- 16:45Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 16:46Speaker 3: That's embarrassing.
- 16:48Speaker 2: Have you ever fallen asleep during something? Angie? That was
- 16:50Speaker 2: kind of embarrassing.
- 16:52Speaker 1: Okay, I love how I was talking trash, but this
- 16:54Speaker 1: is bad. I fell asleep, No, Gabe, I fell asleep.
- 16:59Speaker 3: During a funeral.
- 17:01Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think I know part of this.
- 17:03Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I no, not great. I mean it's not
- 17:07Speaker 1: like I was in the front row or anything, but
- 17:10Speaker 1: I fell asleep. It was this long. It was like
- 17:12Speaker 1: a Catholic it was a mass church thing, and it
- 17:16Speaker 1: was really long. I mean I knew how it was
- 17:18Speaker 1: going to end, so I fell asleep.
- 17:24Speaker 3: Don't look at me like that game. You're just gonna
- 17:27Speaker 3: let me sink here, aren't you?
