video without further ado let's dive into the content itself now dr mike is a popular youtuber and doctor whose most famous series of videos is arguably the doctor react series he has also been a large advocate for proper covet protocols and he was seen recently ignoring all of those protocols on a party boat with multiple other people no one wearing masks everyone in close proximity basically breaking every rule that he himself upheld people found out that he did this and well needless to say the internet was a little bit upset and understandably so so he decided that he needed to release an apology however how he did it was very wrong he released it on his second channel which at the time only had 57 000 subscribers instead of on his main channel which has over 6 million and the entire apology itself seemed detached and insincere today i'm going to look at his body language and explain to you why that might be and see if there's any other hidden emotions or motives behind the apology itself that's my backstory let's start looking at the video this pandemic has absolutely taken a toll on all of our physical and mental well-beings you know whether you're a nurse a contractor a doctor or regretfully unemployed real quick i'm going to go ahead and pull something out here this is a scripted apology despite his attempts to add in um's and us during these times you can tell that he has rehearsed this at very least if it's not fully scripted sincerity is going to be lacking regardless as soon as an apology is scripted it comes across as less sincere however there's more to it and we'll talk about that i am not going to be talking about his words so much as his actual body language if you want more on his words you can check out plenty of the numerous videos that are on the internet now from various professionals and average viewers about his actions and his words today we're looking at his nonverbal communication it's been a tough year uh we're socially isolated it's politically charged divisive time it's tough and i think it's okay to say that that we're all struggling a bit during all this time he's using a lot of shrugs partial shrugs and full shrugs lopsided and full shrugs this is a sign of insecurity or insincerity he's also using a lot of open body language with gestures like this this is all to convey this mindset of i am being open to you which is actually very suggested maintaining that open body language that being said it has still been ringing as insincere for people and there's a number of reasons for that that we'll get into as we continue watching i spent this pandemic in new york um but a few weeks ago i went down to miami to my father's apartment and i want to talk to you about that trip okay so right there when he says i went down to miami to my father's apartment he flashes this grimace expression here and that is likely tied to all of the negative repercussions that he's been feeling from that choice there now if he had just gone down and visited his father in his apartment only that might be a little bit more permissible however we're about to get to the important part of this story and we can really unpack what his body language says during it because i learned a very important lesson that i want to discuss with you when i went down to miami my friend surprised me with a private boat um as a belated birthday present and i was very grateful i was excited at the same time i was a little cautious and nervous because we're in the midst of a pandemic so i went on the cdc website and checked the guidance for wearing masks during water activities i checked the local boat capacity guidelines so we were well below that and then i started thinking about individual risk and that's something i talk to you guys quite frequently about so right off the bat he's a doctor right he's talked about these guidelines and restrictions repeatedly throughout many many many videos he's been educated on it and a lot of people rely on his word as an influencer as an educated influencer they rely on his word for what they should do during a pandemic and he has said multiple times that you're not supposed to do x y z so when he's saying that he went and looked at the website to be able to confirm chances are he didn't do that and he also showed a fair bit of no head shaking during the build up to that which could be either one him warding off or representing the negative thoughts that are centered around the whole activity itself that he has been receiving or it could be that he didn't actually look for the guidelines themselves chances are if he's a doctor and he's made so much content on it i highly doubt he actually checked those guidelines because he probably already knew them however for the sake of this video i'm betting he's just trying to cover his bases there's more on that in just a sec i get questions like is it safe to go on a boat is it safe to fly is it safe to see my relatives and there's rarely a one-size-fits-all answer because risk most doctors will actually just say yeah there is a one-size-fits-all answer just don't don't do it even if you're not susceptible to it you could be exposing others who are susceptible to it and it's very hard to track the virus itself so when he's saying that this is a not a one-size-fits-all sort of situation then he's in essence lying with his words his body language is so rehearsed that he's not showing any common tells of misalignment or possible deception and if you see the article that he's referencing here is just from the new york times this isn't off of the cdc website or any such thing it's just off of new york times which is still reputable but also not as reputable as the actual cdc so when he's saying that this is a spectrum not really so much he just shouldn't have done this at all is a spectrum so i looked at my own personal risk level i'm young i don't have health problems i live alone so i don't put anyone else at risk i'm going to be following the proper quarantine and testing protocols returning back to new york um we're following all the testing um boat capacity and travel guidelines so i thought for me this risk level was okay all right so you can see during this part he's using a lot more um's this indicates that this isn't as scripted so that means that the earlier part where it sounds so rehearsed that's it it's just rehearsed he probably sat down and recorded this video multiple times to be able to try to get as effective of communication as he could across to his viewers however it's not fully scripted so even in this situation with rehearsed body language it's still harder to read deception than if it was just an actual raw apology this is going to be something that you run into the issue with any time you're watching an apology video is that at some level it's likely rehearsed because nobody wants to tie themselves up in knots in a video and say things that they should never say because it goes really poorly on the internet so he's rehearsed this a few times but even considering all that even considering following the rules as the guidelines that are set forth so while he's doing this gesture this is literally showing a physical representation of him putting distance between himself and the thing he's talking about even considering all of that all of that both verbal and non-verbal he's distancing himself from that considering all of the guidelines distancing himself from that he's trying to separate himself and his words are about to say why he's separating himself however i also believe that he was just separating himself subconsciously from all of that via guidelines and even his own advice of not doing this he knew that this was a bad decision when he went into it and he's showing that now with his body language it doesn't matter i messed up that is an important phrase verbally that phrase is what he should have started off with is just i i messed up i did a dumb decision it was poorly thought through i'm an influencer and i'm a doctor who has spoken on this topic so many times and i went against my own word i messed up that should be more or less the gist of his apology everything else that he has been saying so far has been him trying to excuse himself on some level blame it on the friends for coming up with the party blame it on the guidelines for being semi-ambiguous blame it on his health for being in good health so that he doesn't have to worry as much so on and so forth he's been making excuses verbally spacing himself non-verbally this is part of the reason why it's ringing so insincere to people i really did and i need to do better so he's doing a lot of shrugging gestures once again this is insecurity he shakes his head slightly during that part i'm not dead certain that that's non-verbal misalignment i think that is just related to the negativity of what he's saying the no goes with negative so when he's saying i really did it's all related to i did a bad thing the bad thing is causing the no shake insecurity he is insecure about what he did the reason i'm saying this is because of the impact of my trip the impact can harm the medical message that i've been delivering from the beginning of this pandemic that covet 19 is serious that masks are a benign yet important measure to reduce the spread of covet 19 and that i take it very very seriously okay so he's once again talking about what he did and the effect that it's having on the message that he's been giving to people is that kovitz serious wear your mask and then he goes and does this so he's acknowledging that what he did went against that rule and he said that he takes it very very seriously now during that time he does a pretty solid no shake i take that very very seriously now that could be true he could be taking it very very seriously and he goes on to give some other examples however i think that no shake might be related to the fact that he obviously didn't take it as seriously as he should have so his subconscious is quite literally leaking out uh i didn't take this as seriously as i should have but i'm saying that i did this would be an example of non-verbal misalignment when i go to work i wear a mask when i walk bare i wear a mask when i exercise in the gym i wear a mask because it's truly truly important what's killing me most right now is like people leave negative comments and i i deserve that i'm accepting of that i messed up here it's true but when i see bad actors and just real quick on the verbal note of this he says all this stuff about how he deserves all this all this negativity that he's getting which he does he did a dumb decision he deserves some backlash for it then he caveats it with a butt and as soon as there's a butt in something it kind of discounts what he just said and now he's trying to make another excuse and put some blame on other people once again conspiracy theorists try and use my situation to attack the legitimacy of coven 19 to downplay its risks to say masks don't work that kills me because it feels like i'm being used for nefarious purposes it's not true attack me don't attack the science don't attack the hard-working women and men of the cdc and the w.h.o all during this time his body language is being sincere it's all synchronized throughout his words and his nonverbal communication however the words that he's saying are too late he should have thought of that before he did the dumb decision let's face it a lot of people in the world have been very very very isolated this entire season and to see a very popular youtuber who's well to do go and have a boat party with 15 people nobody wearing masks everybody in close proximity it's just asking for problems and even if nobody in that situation got sick it's still not an excuse because he left the door open for it to happen and he did something that was exactly against the message that he had been spreading before all in all this is why people are seeing it to be insincere verbally because he's saying one thing and he did a very very different thing let's keep watching they're doing research in order to keep you safe at home so the situation taught me a lot about impact little grim is there when he's thinking about what he's about to say and the situation he has a lot of negative feelings toward the situation now whether or not that's towards himself or towards the people who are offering backlash is another question i kind of have the feeling that it's towards the people that are offering backlash if it wasn't why isn't this apology video on his main channel instead of his secondary unknown nobody knows about this channel he seems to be just saving face during this what i need to do better how i under need to understand that my actions carry real consequences and while i may be following rules and guidelines it's not enough to just think about that i have to think about the impact and the people that i'm saying sorry to right now are very specific people so while he says that he has been following every rule and guideline he never looks up at the camera during that point which for recording purposes is where the eye line is so when you're trying to be sincere and you look into somebody's eyes to really make that connection it's the same concept when you look at a camera lens so when he looks and diverts his gaze about the entire time that he was talking about the guidelines that's a red flag i don't think that he checked those guidelines he knew exactly what he was doing he had no need to check them this was a choice that he made and it was a bad one it's you who have supported me on this channel and been loyal viewers it's those healthcare providers on the front line who are caring for patients sick with kovid19 it's those people at home it's you at home who's done the right thing this entire time and sees me doing this i'm sorry i let you down what i can say is that i'm going to strive to do better i'm a human i messed up here it's true a lot of lip compressions during this lip compressions is quite literally biting back words or emotions so this isn't a sign of deceit this just means that he is fighting back some form of negative emotion be it sadness or anger could be a mixture of both could be guilt any negative emotion that is trying to seep out a lip compression will quite literally alert you of that i really did this has been a mistake that i'm learning from i'm working through i've taken the time for self-reflection i'm gonna continue to do so i can't promise that i won't make that i'm learning from i'm doing all this stuff i promise i'm doing i don't think it was something that he had to learn from like i said i believe that he knew exactly what he was doing when he got into this mess and did a bad dumb thing let's finish up this video make another mistake again but what i can promise is that i'm going to continue to learn from my mistakes i will continue to be transparent and honest so that i can be a better doctor for my patients and to be a better human for my friends family and for you i love you guys thank you for watching and as always stay happy and healthy and that's the video so let's chat about what we saw what we observed what we learned and i'll give you my opinions and then we'll wrap everything up so to summarize everything that we just saw and took in a very popular online doctor has said many times to not do xyz and then he himself went and did xyz he claimed that he followed all the guidelines set forth by the cdc but also realized that it was a mistake so he posted an apology video to his unknown second channel in hopes that not as many people would see it that didn't go super well for him as everybody did actually see the apology video and it is now all over the internet and he is receiving backlash for that rightfully so my opinion is he was not as sincere in his apology as he wanted to come across not only was this partially due to his rehearsal of the apology but also because of the various number of non-verbal tells that slipped out that showed his insincerity what i think should happen with dr mike is we should probably give him a pass it's not fair what he did it's not right what he did it was a bad decision all the way around but he is after all just a human being and he has the unfortunate disadvantage of being in the spotlight to so many people however that doesn't give him an excuse like what the hell was he thinking why would you do that why would you as a doctor who has spoken out against the dumb decisions during kovid so many times why would you ever it's questionable just visiting his dad but that could have at least been a healthier option than going on a boat of 16 people for a party that's my nonverbal analysis of it along with some opinions scattered in there as well once again i want to be able to give a quick and big shout out to extra for sponsoring this video thank you so much for your products thank you so much for your support and for any of you
