Real talk: How do you quit falling for dangerous charmers, manipulative narcissists, or men who only reveal their true colors after you’re already invested? Welcome to Part 2 of my mind-blowing conversation with Dr. Gad Saad: Evolutionary Behavioral Scientist, best-selling author, and relentless unraveler of human behavior. We go ALL IN on the psychology of self-sabotage, how to finally take ownership of your choices, and why your “type” might be holding you back.
In this unmissable second half, we dissect self-serving bias, breaking destructive patterns, and how to stop being your own worst enemy. Plus: what is “Alpine Divorce” (and why is it blowing up right now!), what the heck is the dark triad, the evolutionary roots of psychopathy, sperm wars, why men AND women cheat, and how your bundle of traits determines lifelong happiness. It’s not just about finding the right partner: It’s about understanding YOURSELF and protecting your heart before it gets broken (again).

You guys know I am obsessed with understanding why we do the things we do, especially the things that get us hurt. And today’s guest is the perfect guide. Dr. Gad Saad is an evolutionary behavioral scientist, professor, bestselling author, and one of the world’s boldest truth-tellers when it comes to the hard science behind jealousy, abuse, attraction, and the dark side of human relationships. If you’ve ever wondered why the “bad boy” draws you in, why jealousy can be so dangerous, or why some relationships escalate into control and even violence, this is the episode you need. Dr. Saad pulls no punches, and you’ll be SHOCKED by how much of your love life can be explained by ancient evolutionary pressures.
In Part 1, we dig deep into the evolutionary truths behind why women are repeatedly drawn to the same red-flag men, why men get so possessive and jealous, and the biological reasons behind dangerous behavior in relationships. Get ready to have your mind blown (and maybe cringe a little) as we unpack child abuse, infidelity, the real meaning of jealousy, red flags to watch for, and why “dangerous” is sometimes so damn attractive.

13 May 2026, 8:00 am - 42 minutes 9 secondsCIA Spy: Is Kanye Mentally Ill or a Narcissist? This is What His Behavior REALLY Reveals... PT 2
If you’ve ever blamed yourself for someone else’s chaos, or worried that “genius” gives people a hall pass for bad behavior, Part 2 is your game-changer.
In the second half, ex CIA spy Andrew Bustamante and I dive even deeper into the psychological maze of Kanye West. From his infamous Sway interview to his viral Piers Morgan clashes, we dissect the moments that had everyone screaming “Narcissist!”, and reveal why the truth is far more complicated, painful, and urgent for every woman dealing with emotional instability in her world. We dig into the impact of brain injury, bipolar disorder, and why some people never develop the filters that keep their emotions (and outbursts) in check. Most importantly, we talk about what to do when love collides with someone’s untreated (or undiagnosed) mental health struggles, and how to protect yourself when patterns are clear but solutions aren’t.
Here’s how you spot the difference between manipulation and genuine developmental challenge, and why YOU are always your own hero.
SHOWNOTES
“I am the most impactful artist of our generation”—how to decode self-aggrandizement
The Sway interview: repetition, rage, and spectrum behaviors
No eye contact, mic awareness—signs of autistic spectrum
Creative talent meets developmental challenge: Where the myths fall apart
Emotional escalation and de-escalation: The validation pattern
Body language: manufactured confidence, defensive posture, and what’s different (Piers Morgan)
Answering like a child: What the “look at my view” moment really tells us
Cognitive struggle, stalling, and stunted adaptation
Male competition, showmanship, and abrasive deflection
Shifted tone, no aggression, and dissociative energy—possible signs of medication
The letter: Car accident, frontal lobe injury, and newly diagnosed bipolar I
Excuses vs. explanations: What medical trauma DOES and DOESN’T excuse
Shared responsibility: How to protect yourself, love wisely, and make the safest next decision

12 May 2026, 8:00 am - 43 minutes 1 secondCIA Spy: Is Kanye Mentally Ill or a Narcissist? This is What His Behavior REALLY Reveals... PT 1
You know those moments when you’re transfixed by someone’s words, but what’s lurking underneath is screaming for your attention? Or when you wonder, is this person unpredictable out of passion, pain… or something darker?
Today’s episode is the breakdown you didn’t know you needed. I’m joined by Andrew Bustamante, a former CIA spy, elite operations officer, and real-life human lie detector. Together, we analyze the one and only Kanye West (Ye): his outbursts, emotional swings, the public meltdowns. Is Kanye simply a misunderstood creative genius? Dealing with undiagnosed mental health struggles? Or is he, as many headlines have suggested, a classic narcissist? We use real clips, direct transcripts, and Andrew’s expertise in body language and behavioral analysis to pull back the curtain on one of pop culture’s most polarizing figures.
This is your crash course in influence literacy, learning to spot red flags and decode the truth: Whether you’re dealing with a superstar, a partner, or your own inner circle. And trust me, by the end, you will never look at these behaviors the same way.
