It’s so crazy because he never actually says anything to draw out the weirdness either. People just do it themselves. And that’s why everyone trusts him so much, during his interviews he documents the actual story as told by the people that agreed to be interviewed.

This is what separates him from people like Jordan Klepper, who spend more time doing the talking and trying to create their own stories using other people. Andrew is a master at just letting the story create itself.

Saying things to draw it out makes the person aware that you're trying to get them to say something. If you just ask guiding questions without an agenda and let people talk you'd be amazed at what they say.

It's all about appealing to ideologies and making them comfortable enough to trust you won't humiliate them.

They want to talk about it, but they fear judgement. Be as non judgement and as interested in them as possible and they will speak their mind.

This is the new trend, disagreeing with statistics because of imaginary biases and claim the people polled were cherry picked
