Now Streaming on All Major Podcast Platforms!
In this episode of Inside the Polygraph, David Goldberg breaks down one of the oldest and most universal parts of human behavior: lying. From childhood deception to life-altering falsehoods, David explains why people lie, how lies develop, and what actually happens inside the body when someone is being deceptive.
Drawing on his experience as an expert polygraph examiner, David explains why telling the truth is natural while lying requires effort, memory, and control. He explores how the brain and autonomic nervous system react under stress, causing changes in breathing, sweating, anxiety, and speech patterns when someone is trying to maintain a false story.
This episode also examines how lies evolve over time. What may begin as a simple denial or “white lie” can quickly grow into something much bigger when a person must add details, cover gaps, and maintain consistency under questioning. David explains why lies often collapse under pressure and how trained investigators, interviewers, and polygraph examiners identify deception through inconsistencies, hesitation, and physiological responses.
Listeners will also hear a real case involving false allegations in a custody situation, where repeated lies escalated into serious accusations and ultimately led to devastating consequences for the person fabricating them. Through that example, David highlights how deception not only harms others but often destroys the liar’s own credibility and future.
At its core, this episode is about accountability, truth, and the cost of deception. Whether the lie is small or life-changing, David makes one thing clear: lies take work; truth does not.
