I've watched hours and hours of Andrew's interviews and this is by far the best interview he's given. It was the quality of questions that brought out the best in him. It's also the first time I've watched your podcast. Thank you, you've earned my sub.
His patience with biased irrational views are gold. I want him as my chat GPT voice to correct me every time with rational arguments when I have a moment :) Great interview!
I want to thank Andrew for addressing one of the primary issues impacting and fueling so much misunderstanding and confusion. That issue is a massive lack of understanding of statistical reasoning and awareness of even the most fundamental and foundational statistical concepts. As someone who has a Ph.D. in statistics and spent years teaching research and statistics, it has slowly driven me nuts over the decades! 🙏
What he said about the government wanting you to quit after you've turned the investment on your training, but before you retire so you don't fully benefit from them, was just so real and exactly how I feel working at call centers. Didn't know many of us can relate no matter what corporation level we are in.
You are so correct about call centers! I had a manager in my first call center tell a whole room of employees that they only want us to be there 2 years to get their cost of training back then they prefer we move on. That was shocking to me then. 25 years later and many call centers that is exactly what I saw happen over and over!
OH so correct on call centers from my experience!! The stories I can tell. They will even tell you that you are there to make money for the investors. So many people thought I was bonkers when i told them that in those call centers, work hard, do your job and when you are about to be good at it and deserve a promotion and a raise you will lose your job and be out frantically looking for another 10 dollar an hour job.
I recently discovered this show that helps me reflect on my life and the decisions I've made as a young disabled person. I'm embracing the journey of trying new things, knowing that even if I fail, it's all part of the process. I'm excited to announce my plans to return to college and pursue a career as a therapist for people with disabilities. The future looks bright, and I can't wait to see where it takes me!
Congratulations and good luck!! I'm 60, and I left paid work 15 years ago to do family caregiving.... now I'm preparing to work again. It's scary but exciting too.
Yaasyyy! Disabilities is a mental wall builder for me. I acknowledge them but focus on my abilities. What can I learn to do and learn to do better. It's much more exciting and rewarding to find out what your special abilities are. TIP. Pay attention to compliments! Surprisingly other people tend to have a better overview on what you might be specially talented in or have a better basic skill set to build upon then others they know.
That's awesome! As an invisibly-disabled person, it's really hard to find someone who can relate, but that relating can absolutely be the steady foundation of accelerated trust and healing.
At 1:27:00 ish mark I was in tears. He articulated exactly how I feel as a 53 year old man. I am so done with conforming and being loyal to employers who took me for granted. I also immediately thought of the Pink Floyd song " Another Brick in the Wall "... In fact the entire album. I understand the need for our US Government to do what it did ( and does ) to protect itself, but man it sucks to figure out that we are really expendable. The kids in elementary school were punished for refusing to stay in line and follow the rules. They were the ones administrators should have talked to instead of punishing them. We saw what the consequences were so we conformed. It is what it is. Am I less happy than I would be if I was the kid who non-conformed, nobody knows.
I've felt that way since I was in my 20s. I'm 59, and years ago I abandoned the pursuit of working in conventional employment for the same reasons you express. You can't often trust people to treat you with respect. Exploiting people seems to be the default business model in the US. Rebelling against it is hurting me financially more than I can tell you. But what I gain in self-image and peace of mind is priceless.
You’re only half done with life. Think things through, get some therapy, now you have time and wisdom to make your changes. I switched careers at 45, best thing I ever did!
This was a great interview. I loved his take on what the government is about...making sure the government is around for another 200 years. It's not about taking care of the citizens. And you're right the hair is on point!!!
So the "for the people" was lost and no one noticed until it was too late. That's a big ah ha moment. The government's only concern is for the government continuing, not for serving the people. That explains a lot .
Well I mean yeah.. Think about it. That was no secret. It's actually our calling card. Our military has one job & one job only. They don't serve or protect any one person or president or official. Their job is to protect the Constitution.
In a democratic country the service should go in both direction. You both serve the government and the government serves you. There is no either this or that. How naif is believing that the government should be like tour mom's substitute only giving out and never taking in front you? Soon or later you will end up living in tour mom/substitute's basement scrolling tiktok for hours, days and months until the food lasts while yelling at her/it for your misery and being the perfect target for all sort of con ideologies😂
Geeze, I remember when you started this channel, had no more than 2k subscibers. This is STILL my favorite podcast. You and Jonathan helped me get through the pandemic. This is a safe and very smart place to spend time. I want to congratulate you both on your success. I also have to say, I loved this episode. It was soo soo good. Much love and light.
Good interview. Andrew is very skilled at respectfully disagreeing with other people who hold strong emotional opinions that differ from his own. It’s also amazing how much movies and entertainment influence our view of the world.
Being controlled is not always a bad thing. There are many people in this word that are both smarter and wiser than you. The hard part is to understand who is good and who is evil. You don't want to be under the control of evil people.
Man listening to these two talk politics is like watching them play hot potato with a grenade. I love Andrew and he's so level headed it's interesting to see him tip toe around Mayim.
I've never seen him before or watched his content, but I noticed this, and I respect how he gently guided her back toward a center ground, putting her in more of a position to be... more open to seeing and accepting what he's saying. Damn... I want to go check out his content now!
@wendy645 I'm 36 and have been addicted to UA-cam for probably 10 years, Andrew is the best person I've seen at doing that ever. He's the most grounded and "fair" mindset I can recall seeing and knows his views and won't put that on anyone else but he will guide them to their own conclusions. I've also watched all his videos probably because of that. He's genuine. At least as genuine as possible.
I know some upper level managers that see other people as pieces of furniture in their home when they are decorating. They want to WIN… and they move humans around as inanimate objects that need to be moved and placed where it best suits THEM.
He kept using not only your name, but a casual/familiar version. You gave him conversational/social, personal, and interview/professional trust in exchange for that comforting connection.
Kamala Harris cant lead a pep-rally & Donald Trump is a celebrity that should not be on any ballot. Respectable politicians dont want their last name attached to the recent climate of many countries. The New World Order is in the east, almost worldwide.
Incredible conversation. I felt like I was back in college in the 1970s, especially in the second half of the video. Wow. Go, Mayim and Jonathan, kudos! A real conversation about important stuff. 🎉❤ (PS I’ve seen X-Men, too, quite agree with you on the allegory at work there.)
I don’t always take the time to watch this podcast but every time I do I am edified. I can’t believe how an inside look at what the CIA does can lead to such a far ranging conversation about American culture. I’m also the product of the LA Unified School system.
This episode was one of the best, if not THE best episode of Breakdown I’ve listened to and then went back to watch since your podcast began. The role playing, the questioning to see if someone is lying or not, the entire discussion of a new world order-just wow. Three bright people all learning from each other. Entertaining and fascinating. Brava.
I've watched hours of AB...this interview allowed him to be more creative and more natural and not interrupted by the interviewer who seem to just want to be as cool as he is. Well done all. So informative and so fun! PS: I wrote this above with an hour to go. The last few questions were just great.
Ugh 😑 He doesn’t understand what anti social personality disorder is. This is part of the problem of of the term ASPD- it’s a misleading title, some psychiatrists want the name changed, It is not about being anti social and not liking people. It is about manipulating people for your own gain with no conscience or remorse of hurting innocent people in the process, pathological lying, entitlement, no empathy, no morals, not being able to bond with others etc. This is so frustrating that he either doesn’t know, or is being purposefully misleading. He also said that sociopaths are always loyal to someone or some thing more than themselves - that’s not true. They might act loyal in order for personal gain, but it is always self-serving, it’s not usually the kind of loyalty he’s talking about.
What a fascinating episode! I think I may listen to it all over again for basic everyday skills on how to be a better person!! (Not sure it will work however 😂) Great job, Mayim and Jonathan!🙏
Just found this channel today. I have the utmost RESPECT for Andrew and all of those who "Serve in Silence" you definitely earned my subscription today 👍
I Subscribed! Didn't even know that you were on UA-cam. As soon as I saw your name, I watched this video and Subscribed. You're a smart, intelligent woman and very talented and honest also. You can be smart but not intelligent, talented or honest. But you are all that and more. You've always made me think or smile and made my day. I can tell that you have one of the most important things in the world...a good heart and you use it. Nice to hear you.....from Canada
First time watcher of this channel. Andrew Bustamante is brilliant and funny and still so relatable. The questions asked were so interesting, informative and entertaining and it had my full attention. You gained a new follower.
First time watching your podcast and already new subscriber (also got my best friend to listen!). It is refreshing to listen to an intelligent discussion/questions. I am going to download or watch all previous ones. Thank you!
Think we got too sidetracked when we transitioned to politics... not that its not interesting but the prior conversation was much more interesting to hear his training and experiences
This was a great interview! Witty, thought-provoking, roads-less-travelled, and as always, par excellence, Andrew Bustamante being non-bipolar/partisan and incredibly informative and accessible.
Andrew is so freaking intelligent and so geopolitically aware that every interview is like a master class in everything you never knew you needed to know. I was slightly surprised that M and J didn’t wholly research Andrew before having him on. Andrew is pragmatic and Mayim kept asking purely emotional and biased questions ie feminism, Judaism, trump, liberalism, spies having sex, lies, and several other disappointingly simplistic questions. Andrew’s answers are so complex that it takes deep active listening to grasp the levels of what he’s saying. I’d love to see him on your show again with a whole slew of new questions.
Won't sub because of problematic sponsors, but the quality of your guests is top tier and though I don't agree with M on much, you'll continue to get my likes and watch time!
As a teacher with a political science background, I am sure of a few things. The American education system is designed to promote conformity and indoctrination of children, thus promoting the status quo of the government and economic system. It is in the best interest of the ruling elite to have a population educated enough to be useful, but not so much that they are a threat to the system.
Been a fan my whole life, but coming here now (and subscribing!) because I'm also a fan of Andrew and Jihi and Everyday Spy. I haven't had s chance to partake in their high-tier stuff yet, my life is to hectic right now, but their low-tier stuff (videos, ebooks, etc) is definitely worth plunking down a few bucks.
Again this was major for me to watch. I’ve heard him on different podcasts but this after the election talk and all your other questions hit the money.
Listening to this episode did make me feel a wee bit better about the awful election results. America is young and dumb, and people didn't vote the way they did out of malice but ignorance. That is a good thing to remember. I love Andrew's hair! So cute :) I wish him well in his civilian life away from the CIA now. If you can interview his wife, I'd love to see that! I don't think I've seen her at all yet. I see Andrew popping up on the Internet everywhere these days (I guess YT thinks it should recommend every video he's in to me, lol). I'd love to see you interview another former spy, Mayim! You're so good at asking the questions we all have on such topics. :)
I'm subscribed!! This is gonna be a good one - had an LTR many years ago with someone with NPD and going into the relationship I had NO idea what that was, I had never even heard of it, but boy did it take control very fast before I really even know what was going on. Luckily I got out of it before marrying the person (we were going to). Can't wait to watch!
The way everything is so calcukated is wild. “How to WIN friends and INFLUENCE people”. “Ask two questions and make a validating statement, then repeat.” This stuff is gross. So rare to find real ppl who are not trying to get shit from you or change you
So far this interview has brought me some kind of comfort in ways to be able to think about what has happened in our election more broadly. Also, being in substance recovery rather then or educate people with neuroscience in groups or friendships it maybe a better idea to reemphasize how people feel about their addiction to build better friendships and alliances.
I like what you are doing, i don't know if the fight will lead to a better place but it's worth the try, so thanks Mayim and Jonathan, and what an handsome man Andrew Bustamante is !...
Fascinating on so many levels! I listened on the podcast but had to come here to watch the tests at the end. His take on ‘our’ country was revealing and sad, yet not surprising. Thank you both for such a wide range of discussions!❤
This man has the best head of hair I have ever seen, and I am jealous. I want his routine, what is his fav shampoo and conditioner? Does he use Blue Magic hair grease? I don't believe him when he says he does nothing....periodt! This was a really interesting and engaging interview Mayim and Jonathan, well done.
Being with my ex narc for the past 8 yrs. made me observe this very pattern. I think they wanted to feel very important in a way that is disturbing. Instead of building trust with their intimate partners, they destroy the trust that they built with you (in that case lying when they tried to put you in their pedestal). Once they have a committed partner, they can’t stand being loved authentically by one person. Instead they go on and prey on other women that is susceptible to their love bombing. My ex narc was a compulsive pursuer in a relationship. He would go back and forth to the women he were involved before or try to meet women in complicated situation so that going public isn’t an option while having you as their main supply. In the end they destroy the very person that loved them. They are like toddlers testing your love for them. Showing and telling them you love them isn’t enough, they will cheat on your face to make you feel inadequate even if you are more than they deserve. They want to test your love for them so they keep hurting you and when you have enough of their abuse, you leave. Then they tell you, ‘you never loved me because you abandon me’. Well in fact it’s their actions and narcissistic behavior that made you leave or in other cases they discard you and will give silly reasons of the discard. Mine would use, ‘she’s crazy’, ‘she’s a nega-star’, ‘she insults me’, ‘she cheated on me’ et al. So with this pattern of infidelities and emotional abuse (who knows what else) it’s better to walk away. I did walk away and is now rebuilding my life with our daughter. We are struggling financially because I’m not earning enough to provide for my daughter but now we get to laugh and bring with us sunshine every day. No lies, no abuse and no fake love. We only live once, forgive yourself and move forward but never forget the lesson that narc abuse taught you. That is to respect yourself to walk away from what’s hurting and destroying you. That you deserve a life of solitude, happiness and love. Hugs*** :) Additionally I hired a private detective Metaspyhub@gmail. com. Once I knew what the narc was up to, it got easier to get over that lying, cheating, sack of doo doo, loser. I didn’t need closure from the narc, I paid for it. Best money I EVER spent!

Best talk show ever! Love Myiam and her man

I want to thank Andrew for addressing one of the primary issues impacting and fueling so much misunderstanding and confusion. That issue is a massive lack of understanding of statistical reasoning and awareness of even the most fundamental and foundational statistical concepts. As someone who has a Ph.D. in statistics and spent years teaching research and statistics, it has slowly driven me nuts over the decades! 🙏
When you're a HAMMER everything looks like a NAIL 😮
What he said about the government wanting you to quit after you've turned the investment on your training, but before you retire so you don't fully benefit from them, was just so real and exactly how I feel working at call centers.

I wish I could be that far in my journey. I thought I was going to heal but 18 months later I'm getting worse. I wanted to be an addiction therapist.

I saw her on a regular flight with her kids going to Mexico...She was sooooo nice to everyone who asked her questions
At 1:27:00 ish mark I was in tears. He articulated exactly how I feel as a 53 year old man. I am so done with conforming and being loyal to employers who took me for granted. I also immediately thought of the Pink Floyd song " Another Brick in the Wall "... In fact the entire album. I understand the need for our US Government to do what it did ( and does ) to protect itself, but man it sucks to figure out that we are really expendable.

You never thought about how our young people were forced to fight wars they had nothing to do with? Expendable.

I'm 59, and years ago I abandoned the pursuit of working in conventional employment for the same reasons you express. You can't often trust people to treat you with respect. Exploiting people seems to be the default business model in the US.

Easily the best Bustamante interview out there. 🙌 Kudos Dr. Bialik
This is one of the best interviews! Also, great questions Jonathan! It is nice to hear you being more interactive.
I have been looking everywhere for a media platform that is NOT afraid to dismantle lies being told on both ends of the political spectrum.
So the "for the people" was lost and no one noticed until it was too late. That's a big ah ha moment. The government's only concern is for the government continuing, not for serving the people. That explains a lot .
Well I mean yeah.. Think about it. That was no secret. It's actually our calling card. Our military has one job & one job only. They don't serve or protect any one person or president or official. Their job is to protect the Constitution.
Harsh reality, keep on pushing 🇺🇲 ❤👍
By your comment, it appears you are gaining awareness and no longer believing USA propaganda.
Keep calling it out and we must stop this Trump criminal regime before the gain a footing.

Yet sometimes Mayim's biases and TDS come to light.
Good interview. Andrew is very skilled at respectfully disagreeing with other people who hold strong emotional opinions that differ from his own. It’s also amazing how much movies and entertainment influence our view of the world.
Strong emotional opinions doesn’t win presidencies.
Being controlled is not always a bad thing. There are many people in this word that are both smarter and wiser than you. The hard part is to understand who is good and who is evil. You don't want to be under the control of evil people.

Another great topic. I have struggled with narcissists and controllers. Taking my power back is my goal.

Andrew’s answers are so complex that it takes deep active listening to grasp the levels of what he’s saying. I’d love to see him on your show again with a whole slew of new questions.
I thought M asked questions we would all want to know. Great show! Andrew is smart, but he's no rocket scientist. 😊
He enjoyed her questions.
Okay. Tell us what to do in Ukraine? Seriously.
Her questions were what normal people would ask
If you want to see a fascinating interview with Andrew watch Stephen Bartlett interview him on The Diary of a CEO.
AMAZING INTERVIEW!!! I’ve sent it to 4 others! ❤
Thank you so much for posting this really interesting video! Much love to you, beautiful Mayim! ❤
Won't sub because of problematic sponsors, but the quality of your guests is top tier and though I don't agree with M on much, you'll continue to get my likes and watch time!
i like how Andrew calls Mayim "M" hahaha so cutieeeee 😻😻😻
Mayim asking the real questions lol his hair is FABULOUS. And all those questions about disguises, beautiful lol
Awesome interview!
As a teacher with a political science background, I am sure of a few things. The American education system is designed to promote conformity and indoctrination of children, thus promoting the status quo of the government and economic system. It is in the best interest of the ruling elite to have a population educated enough to be useful, but not so much that they are a threat to the system.
Been a fan my whole life, but coming here now (and subscribing!) because I'm also a fan of Andrew and Jihi and Everyday Spy. I haven't had s chance to partake in their high-tier stuff yet, my life is to hectic right now, but their low-tier stuff (videos, ebooks, etc) is definitely worth plunking down a few bucks.
Again this was major for me to watch. I’ve heard him on different podcasts but this after the election talk and all your other questions hit the money.
Wow I am so thrilled to see Mayim has a show on here and I'm so thankful to have found it. ❤
This episode was incredibly informative & mind blowing!!! WOW!🤯 😮 Thank you!
Side note: I found it very endearing that your guest called Mayim “IM”🥰
He’s call her “ M “
Fascinating/enjoyable interview and discussions. Thanks to Andrew and the podcast hosts.
Listening to this episode did make me feel a wee bit better about the awful election results. America is young and dumb, and people didn't vote the way they did out of malice but ignorance. That is a good thing to remember.
I love Andrew's hair! So cute :) I wish him well in his civilian life away from the CIA now. If you can interview his wife, I'd love to see that! I don't think I've seen her at all yet. I see Andrew popping up on the Internet everywhere these days (I guess YT thinks it should recommend every video he's in to me, lol). I'd love to see you interview another former spy, Mayim! You're so good at asking the questions we all have on such topics. :)
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate You and Jonathan. Intriguing interview with Andrew Bustamante, AND fantastic tips for "life lessons"!
I'm subscribed!! This is gonna be a good one - had an LTR many years ago with someone with NPD and going into the relationship I had NO idea what that was, I had never even heard of it, but boy did it take control very fast before I really even know what was going on. Luckily I got out of it before marrying the person (we were going to). Can't wait to watch!
The way everything is so calcukated is wild. “How to WIN friends and INFLUENCE people”. “Ask two questions and make a validating statement, then repeat.”
This stuff is gross. So rare to find real ppl who are not trying to get shit from you or change you
Not even half way through and I'm really enjoying this conversation
Excellent episode, it's left me wanting to hear more...going to check out his channel next, TY 😊
Wow! Great ep! 😍
I love this man! This whole podcast has been so amazing!
What a fascinating episode 👍 I’m so glad you guys have such a wide range of guests 😊💙
So far this interview has brought me some kind of comfort in ways to be able to think about what has happened in our election more broadly. Also, being in substance recovery rather then or educate people with neuroscience in groups or friendships it maybe a better idea to reemphasize how people feel about their addiction to build better friendships and alliances.
I really value this man’s contributions. I click so fast any time I see him on a podcast.
Wow, I had no idea you had a podcast, love discovering you because of Andrew Bustamente!
BEST episode ever!
Not the crossover I expected, but down to watch!
Excellent questions. Excellent responses. Thank you all.
Good Jezuzzzz, these comments are rough! I came, to listen to some smart interesting people and yall didn't disappoint!❤🎉😊
Subbed! For sure! And not bc you're famous but because I LOVE YOUR INFORMATION! Thank you!!
One of the best podcast episodes I ever have watched. Thank You Dr B.
I like what you are doing, i don't know if the fight will lead to a better place but it's worth the try, so thanks Mayim and Jonathan, and what an handsome man Andrew Bustamante is !...
Fascinating on so many levels! I listened on the podcast but had to come here to watch the tests at the end. His take on ‘our’ country was revealing and sad, yet not surprising. Thank you both for such a wide range of discussions!❤
Such a great interview, but I say that everytime I watch you guys. 😉
After being a listener on Spotify, being able to view this is ever more Fabulous!! Thank you a thousand times!! Keep up the good work!!
Pretty Litter FTW!!
This man has the best head of hair I have ever seen, and I am jealous. I want his routine, what is his fav shampoo and conditioner? Does he use Blue Magic hair grease? I don't believe him when he says he does nothing....periodt! This was a really interesting and engaging interview Mayim and Jonathan, well done.
I am so glad I found your channel! This is my first video I watched of yours, and I am learning so much, such great content and conversation.
Terrific conversation! Thanks for the fascinating information.
Being with my ex narc for the past 8 yrs. made me observe this very pattern. I think they wanted to feel very important in a way that is disturbing. Instead of building trust with their intimate partners, they destroy the trust that they built with you (in that case lying when they tried to put you in their pedestal). Once they have a committed partner, they can’t stand being loved authentically by one person. Instead they go on and prey on other women that is susceptible to their love bombing.
My ex narc was a compulsive pursuer in a relationship. He would go back and forth to the women he were involved before or try to meet women in complicated situation so that going public isn’t an option while having you as their main supply. In the end they destroy the very person that loved them. They are like toddlers testing your love for them. Showing and telling them you love them isn’t enough, they will cheat on your face to make you feel inadequate even if you are more than they deserve. They want to test your love for them so they keep hurting you and when you have enough of their abuse, you leave. Then they tell you, ‘you never loved me because you abandon me’.
Well in fact it’s their actions and narcissistic behavior that made you leave or in other cases they discard you and will give silly reasons of the discard. Mine would use, ‘she’s crazy’, ‘she’s a nega-star’, ‘she insults me’, ‘she cheated on me’ et al. So with this pattern of infidelities and emotional abuse (who knows what else) it’s better to walk away. I did walk away and is now rebuilding my life with our daughter. We are struggling financially because I’m not earning enough to provide for my daughter but now we get to laugh and bring with us sunshine every day. No lies, no abuse and no fake love. We only live once, forgive yourself and move forward but never forget the lesson that narc abuse taught you. That is to respect yourself to walk away from what’s hurting and destroying you. That you deserve a life of solitude, happiness and love. Hugs*** :)
Additionally I hired a private detective Metaspyhub@gmail. com. Once I knew what the narc was up to, it got easier to get over that lying, cheating, sack of doo doo, loser. I didn’t need closure from the narc, I paid for it. Best money I EVER spent!
This is a great interview. Loved it so much.
Such a great interview and conversation. I was completely riveted. Great job on everyone’s part!
Love the red lipstick Mayim 💄 Great disguise with the sunglasses and hat!
Loved this format and how Bustamante was challenged a bit.
This was an incredible podcast... absolutely fascinating
You have a podcast?! How did I not know this? I KNOW I’m going to get smarter watching yours now too! 😉
Such a fascinating video. I learned that I need to stop talking so much about myself 😁😁
Came for Andrew. Stayed for Mayim. Great conversation.
