His smiles were what got me the most. There is absolutely an “awkward smile” that you can do out of an awkward situation, but his looked far too excited to be getting a platform.

The fact he wants Josh to be in prison by happily stating all these accusations although Josh is innocent, is straight up scary

[@cythulhubuthebegamin4902]

Yeah, this specific instance does not give awkward smile vibes. This is a thing that I do sometimes, but I feel like he would be so much more low energy talking about a subject like this to begin with. He really showed no awkwardness or discomfort where you'd expect it. Instead he gave more gossip energy, which made me very uncomfortable listening to him.

@@FCUK- I agree with this. The fact that Johnny wants an innocent man to suffer is sad. If anything Josh is way more of a victim than Johnny. His life or at least himself as a person was hurt for awhile, based on mostly lies and exaggeration.

[@Hazeljv3]

The "I want boys! ... I mean men" is the most insane Freudian slip self-report I've ever seen. Johnny's entire interview gives off the vibe that he thinks he is always the smartest person in the room and therefore no one could possibly notice all of his blindingly obvious contradictions/slip ups.

The rental car issue was one of the craziest stories to me. Not only did he say he had a personal invitation, he actually expected them to delay the show until he arrived? What an unreal, inflated sense of self.

[@Lucaz99]

Ikr? Him angrily telling Swoop that either Josh and Colleen should have picked him up, which would have been completely inappropriate for them to do, is so telling. HE CRAVED INAPPROPRIATE RELATIONSHIPS with Colleen and her family because it meant he was in their inner circle. He is the crazy stan that Colleen and him mocked other fans for being.

[@sabrinafletcher7884]

a lot of "lying tells" are better described as tells that the person is afraid that they won't be believed. sometimes that means they're lying, sometimes that means they're just scared you won't believe them even though they're telling the truth. being able to distinguish between those two based on context is crucial.

[@liesbeneathoureyes]

Yep, this is exactly (part of) the reason why polygraphs are completely bogus and unreliable. They only measure physiological stress responses which CAN BE indicative of fear, and then the polygrapher assumes the fear response is an indication the person is lying. There are many reasons a person might be fearful, plus the same autonomic nervous responses that occur when a person is fearful can also occur alongside anger, excitement, surprise etc. A lot of the same logic translates across to body language analysis. It’s very unreliable.

[@sabrinafletcher7884]

[@AnxietyRat]

This specific channel does not actually demonize neurodivergence at all. He has specifically said that he does like to know if a person is neurodivergent before he attempts to read their body language because he absolutely does take into account that they might have different baseline body language than someone who is neurotypical. If your baseline is avoiding eye contact and then he won't take into account when the person is avoiding eye contact while talking. I agree that some body language experts on KZbin do demonize such behaviours but this specific channel has NEVER done so... And I've been watching his content for a couple of years now.

[@personincognito3989]

He didn't demonize anything

[@AKbaby89]

I'm a DV/R/SA survivor, so what Johnny said to Swoop about DV&SA victims still makes me mad, ngl. Johnny is just SO loud and so ignorant, I cannot even imagine how you, Swoop, Oliver, Ella, Alix, Joshua and Becky have felt going through this BS. What Johnny did to all of you is just more trauma, I hate that he did that to you all. All of your stories are valid, and all of your stories are important. I hope youre all able to heal from this ❤❤❤

[@Lucaz99]

Yo, let’s not forget Josh here. He might have done regrettable things (or not, too much disinformation) but he was the main target of the Johnny Gossip Train. He got shamed for not leaving an abusive relationship sooner by Johnny, called Josh a groomer, a predator and a pedophile when not even Adam and the others talked about Colleen that way. He was put in the same boat as Colleen, Kory and Trent when we have zero evidence that he is like those people. He also got massively gaslight and ridiculed by Colleen’s own audience while struggling with his divorce and alcoholism but still managed to try and make amends with Collen’s fans he felt he had wronged like Adam and Johnny privately and publicly. He wasn’t a kid like Swoop, Adam, Becky and Oliver were when they were abused but as a victim of DV, he is also valid and worth mentioning.

just to add on to what you said about physical behavior while lying- i’m currently a forensic psychology grad student and have gotten to do some research on this. there isn’t a super reliable way to tell when someone is lying based on body language alone. the polygraph and many other common tactics are only right a little over half the time. it really is up to chance whether or not it’ll be accurate. even the most trained experts can only guess lying based on physical behavior alone about 62% of the time. you have to pay attention to the person as a whole and what they’re saying to figure out if they’re lying. anyway sorry for the nerd rant 😂 i just love talking about this shit

There was a video by munecat basically debunking the entire body language analysis sphere as pseudoscience and actually, in some ways, based on really dangerous assumptions. Curious to know your thoughts on that!

[@WhiteRaven696]

The irony is, Johnny hated Adam so much because he viewed Adam as the central victim of the controversy. And in stealing Adam’s stories and trying to one-up him, Johnny just made Adam even more of a focus. Now Adam has to deal with even more crap that he didn’t want to.

[@xoxocessa]

What got me was Johnny's eagerness for the attention. And when he was directly called on to elaborate certain things, he'd falter and deflect. I've noticed in Swoop's video that he did that a lot, and I LOVED that Swoop kept putting him on the spot for those things, while not trying to make it seem like she was blaming him for it. She was clever for that.

About the eye contact thing, I agree with you. Each individual is different. When I’m recounting my trauma to my therapist I don’t make eye contact, I don’t even look at HER. I feel too embarrassed.

I completely disagree with “no eye contact = lying”

[@Emma-xz8fo]

I also enjoy Observe’s content, but you are right to be skeptical of BLA. Body language analysis is, with peace and love, a pseudoscience which is why it cannot be used in court and varies wildly from person to person. It can be a valuable tool when other evidence and context are available, but that’s about it.

[@rachael8087]

yeah, there's realistically no research that confirms someone can be trained to read body language accurately. It's basically in the same vain as lie detector tests unfortunately

[@qwandary]

As a psychology buff, 100%, it's pseudoscience. At best you can pick up on typical and atypical behaviours in a persons personal behaviourisms. Maybe you can draw some conclusions on some related emotions with context and such, but it's not a hard science at all. You can see how Observe only 'observed' around 2 facial expressions, outside of that he just picks apart language. Maybe it's because this case is so big and everyone's seen so much, he can't afford to make a mistake about the persons emotions or intent like he could with other cases, so he's more nervous about bothering.

[@Ironschrubber]

Yeah it’s like completely pseudoscientific. Studies done on the matter literally showed that “body language experts” had a success ratio of less then 50% whether people are lying which is just worse then guessing

I haven’t gotten very far into the video but speaking on eye contact and some general skeptical feelings about body language- it’s really all about your baseline and I think some people don’t talk about that enough. People have different behaviors and things they do that don’t necessarily mean they’re being deceptive even if that behavior could signal deception in someone else. It’s so important to be able to observe more baseline behaviors and mannerisms in a person when we start talking about body language that could be indicative of something else.

[@banquetoftheleviathan1404]

nobody needs to be trying to be a profiling expert if it's not their job, it's already paranoid people that look into that type of shit in the first place and it just helps them come up with even more wild theories.

which is why Observe wanted the 6hr interview, but that wouldn't have been a good idea bc some things just shouldn't be totally shown on camera. i have been watching his channel for a few years, & Observe used to watch old content of the person to gather a baseline but idk if he does that anymore

[@rebecca-rosesantamaria254]

Love Milo giving his heartfelt opinion, I also REALLY loved what you said about eye contact and other lying signs because as a neurodivergent person I don’t do eye contact EVER and I pretty much always do a lot of things that experts say are signs of deceit (I’m not lying 24/7) it’s very upsetting to constantly hear people demonise ND traits so thank you. All that being said it’s so obvious Johnny was lying and that smile/head tilt thing he does creeps me out. Btw I really appreciate you watching the videos sped up, so much easier to listen to/hear/understand videos at that speed, it’s so relaxing, I’m pretty sure part of my neurodivergence is ADHD so that’s why.

Funny, I caught Johnny expecting the KZbinrs to abandon a show for him and go pick him up when it wasn't their reasonability. It drove me crazy how no one caught that before. So, I am so happy to hear Observe point this out and what it says about Johnny's inflated ego. I love how Observe noticed this common thing about Johnny inflating his place in many social situations and thinking he deserves more then others which annoyed me about Johnny personally. Johnny rubbed me the wrong way from the start. When pressed about specifics he avoided details when it mattered (like when asked how Josh "groomed" him), but put too many details when he wanted to deflect from a question to overload and distract the person who asked the question. Also, when pressed about how he was "groomed" he was oddly happy to talk about it thought what he said was word salad. I noticed the smiles, head tilts, and happy tones of voice at the wrong times. Some people have nervous ticks but Johnny was not nervous he was full of himself. He acted and spoke in such a way victims never do, especially the victim blaming. I also noticed his stories mimicked yours too closely every time you had to address another part of your story Adam. Anyway I am glad this has all come to light. Love your channel!

Something I didn’t pick up on the first time I watched this video because Observe mentioned it so casually… Observe believes that Johnny’s word choice showed that he lacks an understanding of abuse situations… If Johnny had ever been abused by these people (cause let’s be clear, the things he’s alleging are forms of emotional and mental abuse) then wouldn’t be at least have a base level of understanding of what Josh might be going through? Like obviously I am not where you all are - I was not abused in this specific way by these specific people - but I know what abuse feels like… and therefore can empathize with you and wouldn’t wish what you’re going through and have gone through on my worst enemy. And yet Johnny can say with a straight face that he doesn’t care that Josh is also a victim? I’m gonna just say it - I don’t think Johnny was ever abused in any way by any of these people. That or he’s a psychopath. Cause I can’t think of a single rational human being who’s known ANY kind of abuse who would actually say they don’t care that someone else was abused too.

The annoyance in Logan’s face when John is lying is amazing

[@cowboyscantdie8232]

hi adam!!! it was cool to hear you say that you're somewhat skeptical of body language analysis at the start of this video. idk if you'll see this but if you're interested, the youtuber munecat made an incredible video on this topic that I found both informative and hilarious. highly recommend and love always lol

[@BrianaCunningham]

Swoop just letting him bury himself and keeping her cool is amazing.

[@EmeraldEyes3713]

Behavior analysis definitely isn’t foolproof, because you’re right, everyone is different. Some people, like myself, are naturally fidgety and overexplain/speak fast and that doesn’t mean we are being deceptive. That’s why it seems Observe really likes to try to get a baseline for what a person’s mannerisms are during relaxed moments. It seems to me that it’s not necessarily the behavior itself that indicates potential deception, but behavior CHANGING from the person’s norm behavior that indicates the possible deception.

[@faye8236]

uh yeah swoop blew the case wide open but milo over there is bringing some really interesting things to the table at the end

[@elizabethsahu7822]

I’m so glad you are covering this! It was so good. I can’t wait to see your eye rooms and Observe’s eye rolls side by side 😅😅

So sorry for all you’ve been through but man I love your attitude. I know it isn’t always possible but I appreciate the fact that you have and still are fighting so hard to get on the other side and heal. It’s truly a life long healing. ~~Now with that said umm I’m gonna need the deets on the lipstick 👄 please!!! 😁❤

[@LeniPeni]

For body language, it’s very important to know the person’s tendencies while telling the truth to notice when they deviate

[@TheBakerbelle]

This may sound weird, but it just makes me so happy when you get Milo's input. It cracks me up. I love it!

[@alisonfields4688]

“who the fuck is screaming Johnny’s name” lmfao

[@Logan-zl7xi]

It's so good to see you picked up on the eye contact, I don't like keeping eye contact because it feels awkward and I don't want people to think I'm lying or weird for doing that. Love you and wish you well Adam. 💗

[@leeaivanel]

hope youre well adam!! youre so strong for talking about all this!

[@ebdgr]

I have NEVER seen an Observe video where he is SO obviously angry AND passionate; thank you for covering this, Observe ❤

[@AKbaby89]

I also don't understand how Johnny left that interview thinking he totally got one over on everyone. Swoop is super professional in her interviews from what I've seen, but also it was pretty obvious she thought Johnny sounded stupid a few times there😂

[@holliwawa]

I’m so glad you can still laugh through this Adam, you truly deserve the best and I hope you find closure

Milo definitely had something to say about Johnny. Loved it.

I love how Milo just meows softly into the mic, and how he purred for Swoop ❤❤❤❤❤

14 min in and i am LIIIIIIIIIIVING for the analyst's shade. i assumed he'd see the obvious things but he's going IN i love it so much

[@BaconNMegs]

The "little Johnny stuck by LAX" story makes me cringe soo hard every single time I hear it ugh lol my skin crawls

[@benji-ng1oc]

I always rewatch this and I just wanna make this point, it pisses me off so much when people accuse Adam of watching videos before reacting to them, like yeah ofc he can predict what they're going to say, he professionally reacts to content, dissects people, and HE WAS GROOMED BY A CELEBRITY, he knows what he's talking about, things like predictions and reading body language probably come easy to him because it's such a crucial part of his job

[@allthatjazzreacts]

So basically... Johnny is accusing Josh of everything HE himself is doing or has done, allegedly, (in a round about kinda way) and his "end goal" aka: attention. He deflects a LOT in his interview. It rubbed me the wrong way even before I watched the next sections of the doc. Swoop asks him, gives him multiple chances and SO MANY occasions to answer questions and he just doesn’t answer, he's like 'well this other thing happened' and Swoop is like, 'Ok, ima try again' and he does the exact same thing when she asks again! Seems kinda like Observe's observation (lol) is that Johnny wants attention and fame by being the victim. The interview is the polar opposite of Josh's interview with Swoop. So telling...

[@trippingthewasteland]

You’re 100% correct about body language. First, to have any real ability to assess someone, you need a baseline, because people have individual quirks and cultural differences (and neurodivergent people may have a very different baseline). That’s why the first part of a police interview involves asking easy questions like “where did you grow up/go to school/work/etc? You see how people answer easy questions truthfully and that allows you to compare their behavior when they are asked the probing questions about the crime. Even then, it can be easy for people to misinterpret what they are seeing. (Detectives sometimes get very little training, if any, in interrogations and it’s another reason why you should always avoid speaking to the police without a lawyer.) Second, you have to look at clusters of behaviors that deviate from baseline, not individual items. So you might have poor eye contact, but if that’s the only deviation, it’s probably not indicative of anything. And finally, you can’t really detect “deception” you can only detect discomfort and anxiety. A psychopath who doesn’t feel guilt or fear about lying might not display any deviations in behavior. A person who is clinically delusional would also probably not display any deviation because they actually believe what they are saying is true.

[@mirrorocean]

I appreciate your being critical of body language commentary in general. It can definitely be interesting, and perhaps sometimes useful, but when overused it can flag false positives for lying and other suspicious behaviours particularly in neurodivergent people who just don't emote the same way neurotypicals do.

[@SinfulSloth]

so much agreement about common 'lying' tells not being true about everyone. I'm autistic so I struggle with eye contact and I smile during uncomfortable/ inappropriate situations. Strangely enough I can look at a person's eyes while on zoom, I don't look at the camera because I have a phobia of it, kinda funny given my therapy is done through zoom. Your opinions of Johnny's tells is hilarious, you have a way to see through the bullshit so well and disarm them. If people watch this video, and then see anything Johnny says, it'll be instantly easy to dismiss him, rather than feeling ick because he seems unpredictable and malicious. It's like the ukulele thing, after watching your response it lessened how triggering it was for me.

[@dlevi13]

I kind of wonder if Johnny recalling the story of him bullying Adam he was actually thinking of other kids he actually bullied

[@lindseycassella3015]

I wondered this too. It's a weird thing to lie about but it makes sense if he's using Adam's name instead because he's well known instead of unknown random kid. Also he probably thinks it makes him more sympathetic. It's a manipulation tactic to Swoop and the audience. He did something similar with Becky in the H3 podcast when he spoke about being there the night when Becky was on stage. Regardless if it's true or not he used the opportunity to capitalize on the moment and was speaking for victims that were gaining more sympathy because we (the audience) saw their sincerity.

Came here from Swoops channel. Young sir, I commend you on standing up for younger self and holding these people accountable for their shit behavior.

[@syntheticteapot]

Milos analysis was so scathing and well succinct. He speaks for us all.

[@lapatti]

I look at body language analysis the same way I read the horoscope. I think is BS, but I'm also aware that a lot of people is influenced by it. Ultimately it's just a fun way to switch off my brain for a minute and interact with something unimportant

[@L1M3SH4RK]

I have terrible social anxiety, so by default I don't give eye contact

[@Alex20102014]

My vocal cat Sinatra talked back to Milo. I'm pretty sure they were talking trash about John. They get treats for that 💁‍♀️

Johnny is literally one day older than me. I can't imagine what it's like in his head. Couldn't be me.

[@annetjievz]

What I like about Observe is he takes individual quirks into account, that's why he wants to establish individual baselines first.

[@Thorax420]

the problem w body language analysis is that not everyone speaks the same body langauge, just like verbal communication, and assumption based on ones cultural biases can be dangerous

[@Emilythematerialgurl]

Johnny disgusts me lying about grooming then blame someone who already had dealt with his ex wife bs and all her friends

[@Nyx_ofthenight]

This is a totally speculative theory that I can't verify, but I feel like attention is only one reason Johnny did all this. Besides the audacity of it all, lying about allegations for fame is a HUGE personal risk. I think there might've been a secondary reason, that occurred to me during the part about Trisha. Could he have tried to claim he was groomed to preemptively deflect blame from himself should everything he said come to light? He couldn't be held responsible for harassing Trisha and all these other things if it was Colleen or Josh who'd goaded him into it, right? But instead it backfired. What he said and did was wrong and no one forced him to do it, so it just served to platform his own mistakes. And add more to them.

[@BlessTheWriter]

I think this is absolutely the reason, except not because of the Trisha stuff, but because of the minors he himself was inappropriate with who he had access to through Colleen and when this all came up again and was being taken seriously this time he wanted to look like he was on the right side of history!

[@Nyx_ofthenight]

@@BlessTheWriter Absolutely. The Trisha stuff was just an example, not the only thing he'd be trying to hide

[@OctoAri]

Something to consider about behavioral analysis is that no single 1 behavior indicates dishonesty. Its when there is a spike of clusters of behavior that an behavioral analyst can look at that can indicate dishonesty. Its not like movies - no 1 behavior indicates that someone is lying.

[@lazyspaceoutlaw]

Milo coming out with the very controversial opinions about Johnny is exactly what I needed 🗣️
