[@ioiwut4874]

"comfort behavior" so i can just say my nervous ticks are comfort behaviors, totally not lying to the FBI

[@deskslam4232]

That’s usually what comfort behaviors are, you’d just be affirming that you’re extremely nervous lol

[@ioiwut4874]

@@deskslam4232 "usually" lol everything anyone in his profession says [even as an expert witness] is subjective. and virtually exclusively used in criminal cases. anyone charged with a serious crime is gonna be more nervous than a camera shy kid when questioned about it; especially while under surveillance. and the few that stay cool get the Andy Du-framed treatment. its an interesting study tho

Wow, has it really been that long? Or maybe I found the original video after the fact. Anyway, THANK YOU THANK YOU to Mr. Navarro (Agent Navarro?) for agreeing to do these videos and especially for the courage - ESPECIALLY as an introvert - to look back at himself and even be able to frankly evaluate himself and tell us what was going on.

[@swipefn1931]

7:24, he does it again. The small gesture of both arms inwards to make sure to not take space. I love how this guy can be self aware, but never escape his own mannerisms

[@morkovija]

Great episode, and props to editor for choosing great background music

[@Sky_moondance]

He's awesome, humble, honest and willing to learn even at his expertise, and experiencen I'm sure what he's seen by now would give 90 percent of us nightmares. He's right, so easy in this day and age with videos and technology to dissect without fully understanding the entire situation, compated to those who do their judging and comments to behind a screen with filters or avatar. Most people would never be willing to look in the mirror and self assess based on randos online. He's able to analyze and retain with no "rewind" or fear of how many likes or a spin doctor's accord in order to sooth needy vicarious followers. Bravo! You're a gem, and embodies those willing to learn without anylitcal egotism, but have experience, class, grace, compassion and command. I'm not calling him old rather he embodies and old school, experienced, suck it up and learn mentally to grow to be a better human for humanity that I think we all should respect but hey hard knocks, hard times decided if your mud, fools gold, coal or a gem...bright, expensive, rare and worth the time it took for others to see your rare value.

[@tanmaywho]

[@ruthchavarria119]

[@petermarker6003]

The way he explains things is amazing! I never missed his contents in this channel and I hope WIRED will keep making it. (Tbh I'm kinda expected Joe to make his own youtube channel)

[@oxide9679]

I really wish he would. But as he said, he gets nervous on camera, is an introvert and likely with all his traveling to give lectures as well as probably occasionally helping the FBI out with cases occupies all his time.

Of the things about his behaviour, even though it's verbal, one that pops out for me is "often times". Is it a regional thing? Also the manspreading in the office filmed video. I love his videos, I hope there will be more!

Once when I found myself bouncing the knee, I consciously tried to stop it by raising and lowering my heel. I saw that at some range the bouncing was reflexive and I couldn't stop it. Both above and below it the bouncing was gone. I'm curious to know if other people notice this.

[@marlz2153]

super interesting & informing! takes a lot of vulnerability to do something like this

[@vividdray4831]

Imagine being someone that can analyze shits in a whole different level and perspective and then analyzing yourself..... . And then uses it as an advantage to control and change your body language any time you want while also manipulating others into thinking that, that is ur body language.....THIS MAN IS POWERFUL AS F AND SO IS A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE JUST LIKE HIM

Body Language Expert judging his own body language, it’s quite fascinating to watch and listen to.

[@MilDarkAngel]

I would loooooove to see a video of him and his wife togehter!! That would be mind-blowing!

[@DUDA-__-]

The first thing i saw is his foot&leg position. For me it looks like he is ready to jump up at any second. He has his, i think, strong leg back getting it with a minimal rotation of the ankle into a good position to jump up and sprint away. His other leg seems stable on the ground altough a little wide open, maybe oriented in the direction of an opening through the cameras & lights or a door. Maybe the orientation of his other leg is also unusable as long as it is anchored on the ground it'll give a good support for a rapid start somwhere.

[@weilin1788]

when joe shakes his leg, he is basically saying"in my 25 years of career, I always crack those people". I notice my father does this too all the time, that when he brags about something, he shakes his legs. And everytime I see that I always think about a a happy dog waving their tails, so i don't think that's just comforting, that's also bragging self satisfying
