whether it's, you know, confrontational or just curious.

and we both have a very deadpan sense of humor.

And so I think that maybe made it a little easier for me,

but look, I think there is a lot of commentary online

and whether he's playing a character all the time

which is interesting when you juxtapose it

with a film about Elizabeth Holmes.

I think he's just, like, a smart, thoughtful guy

who makes great stuff. That was my takeaway.

You Can See Everything and the science of spotting liars : Short Wave

You Can See Everything and the science of spotting liars : Short Wave

It feels like everyone we know is talking about the new documentary You Can See Everything. It tracks the effort of comedian and documentarian Nathan Fielder to suss out how deceptive Elizabeth Holmes, disgraced founder of the company Theranos, is. And after watching the film, we all left the theater wondering -- what could we see? How possible is it to ever really spot someone lying? So we of course called up an expert in deception and counter-deception research, Maria Hartwig, a professor of psychology at CUNY, the City University of New York. For more on sussing out a liar, check out our episode about what's wrong with the polygraph.
