How to Spot a Liar and Win Any Argument, From a Former Military Interrogator
from Exhibit A-List · host Jasmine Weg
Ever walked out of a conversation feeling weirdly bad about yourself and not able to say why? Ever watched someone confidently lie and get believed anyway? This episode is the decoder ring. This week I sat down with Jeremy Ostler, a former military interrogator and intelligence analyst turned jury consultant, and we got into the mechanics of how people actually read each other, believe each other, and get played by each other. It is part courtroom, part group chat, fully useful. We cover: • The two phrases that defuse almost any argument without you having to win it • Why you should read yourself your Miranda rights before arguing with someone acting in bad faith • What body language actually signals (and why crossed arms is not the tell you think it is) • The Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial: why his confidence read as honesty and hers read as performance • Why smart people get manipulated, the hero complex, and the red flags we talk ourselves out of seeing • Whether you can really beat a polygraph, plus a rapid-fire round of lie-detection myths in Sustained or Overruled Whether you are prepping for a hard conversation, a custody fight, a negotiation, or just trying to figure out why a coworker gives you the ick, this one earns the listen.
