  • Morgan talks too much

    I’ve listened to a few shows now and really enjoy it, but notice Morgan talks too much. Does he cut back on personal stories and pausing the flow of conversations? Murph and the guests have been fantastic.

    I want to push through but need hope Morgan learns to cut back.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

248: Part 2: He Knew You Were Lying Before You Opened Your Mouth
Q: What is the most impactful tactic when you're conducting an interview or polygraph under challenging circumstances?
Creating the right headspace, environment, and timing; using silence strategically, and asking the right questions to draw out information without confrontation.
248: Part 2: He Knew You Were Lying Before You Opened Your Mouth
Q: Have you heard a lot of myths about lie detectors, and what do you think is the biggest myth?
Lie detectors don't detect deception better than any other method; eye-contact cues are unreliable, and many online hacks are overblown or false; true accuracy comes from a combination of controlled process, honesty, and context rather than simplistic telltales.
249: Part 1: The Serial Killer Nobody Noticed β€” Until He Did!! πŸ”₯
Q: What are your thoughts on the use of plea deals in homicide cases and how they affect justice and victims' families?
Plea deals can be necessary to manage court resources and address complex cases, but they must be weighed carefully against the harm to victims' families who must provide statements at parole hearings. In some instances, like the debated case described, the outcome may feel misaligned with the severity of the crime, underscoring the need for careful case assessment and transparency throughout the process.
249: Part 1: The Serial Killer Nobody Noticed β€” Until He Did!! πŸ”₯
Q: Can you condense what happened in the Bruce McArthur case and the key turning points of the investigation?
Bruce McArthur, a landscaper, killed and dismembered eight men from Toronto's gay village between 2010 and 2018. He was arrested in January 2018, shortly before attempting to kill a ninth victim; seven bodies were recovered from planters and one from a ravine. He pled guilty in January 2019 and is serving life in prison. The investigation relied on multi-address surveillance, crime-scene processing, and later, forensic analysis of the remains and locations tied to McArthur.
243: Part 2: The Police that Brought a Startup Mindset to Law Enforcement
Q: What is the loneliest moment or decision you've faced as chief, and how did you handle it?
Nish explains that the loneliest moments came when making significant policy shifts after high-profile incidents; he chose to pause, seek input from those closest to front lines, and pivot to a people-first/public-health approach, accepting some early missteps but ultimately driving a culture change grounded in listening and inclusivity.
