Can we just appreciate Dr. Grande's hustle? The daily uploads are giving me life!!
Big time 💕
Indeed 👏👏
These videos further support (reputably) all of my suspicions of the people Dr. Grande is reviewing. And even some people I come across on a daily basis lol.
Ditto
Ha ha just saw him dancing in a blue plaid leisure suit ala Saturday Night Fever. 🎵 Do the Hustle 🎶 😄🙆♂️🕺
I'm having the hardest time wrapping my head around how he could have been found not guilty by any jury! Great analysis as always!
It makes me wonder if that was something the jury thought was normal, everyday behavior `yeah, that's just what we all do in TX when we accidentally shoot someone in self defense-dismember and dispose of the body.'
He had the most incredible defense team. (Think OJ’s) They got around some legal loopholes. It’s truly mind-blowing.
@@deniece0821 Money buys a lot of justice🤔.
Same reason O.J. walked; the defense attorneys outsmarted the prosecution. Money talks, especially when you're guilty and need to get off.
I am so impressed with how thorough you are and the work you put into studying this man. He is definitely a sociopath with many other related.ental illnesses. Urinating makes me think he might have some sort of dementia or other brain deficiency. He likely has killed more than we know. I followed him on TV and heard him say that he killed them all. He seemed to know that he would get off.🤔
When Dr. Grande starts his video off with his usual "I'm not diagnosing anybody, only speculating on when might be going on in a situation like this", it's his way of saying.
"Let's get ready to rumble!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
i adore his manner of understating things ironically.
Yes, an apt translation of that prelude is "I must throw this line into the script every time just for CYA purposes. But we know the real motivation behind my video making and research efforts".
It's kind of like the "if" in O.J. Simpson's "If I Did It." I'm not diagnosing anyone, but if I were....
Buckle up kitty cats!
I liked your analysis a lot. I've never considered the difference between "cognitive empathy" and "affective empathy". Super interesting.
I used to think it was great. Empathy seemed very exhausting.
Jokes on me, always second guessing whether you are the asshole or not is probably more exhausting.
The difference is telling. I am mostly affective.
Very useful concept that actually makes sense intuitively.
Yep, when Dr. Grande explained that I thought, "Ahhhhhh".
The documentary "The Jinx" about him was insanely good.
It was so good, the end I was just dying of laughing at him in the bathroom with the mic on “and the burping”😂😂😂
Yeees I was obsessed with it, watched it many times and I still actively looks for updates about his case 🤣, the ending still send chills down my spine 😧
@@sandricerics8614 me too! It was on Sunday nights. I remember when I found out his friend Susan was not only dead but had been murdered. It creeped me out. It was a good documentary.
@@musicisgoodforthesoul999 yes it was awesome, so dark and so interesting. I think this man will leave this earth with a lot of secrets that will never see the light of day
I’ve never been so shocked at an ending since the movie the sixth sense. I watch a lot of true crime and that honestly is the only documentary that caused me not to be able to sleep it creeped me out so much.
"It seems like a kit that somebody would assemble to guarantee a judge was not going to set bail." 😂
Loved this. The “unnamed” prosecutor in NY was Jeanine Pirro who wrote a wonderful book about this entitled “He Killed Them All”. I agree. He killed them all
He was truly a great man.
He killed them all, of course. He doesn't know what's in the house.
Darn, I didn't know she could write. Too bad she's so repulsive.
@@polarbearsrus6980 yeah idc how good it is, she's monstrous.
I thought you were joking, but a quick google search proved me wrong.
Such a fascinating case and another example of wealth enabling aberrant behaviour! Thanks for another interesting video.
I could do so much good for others with that money...
I don’t think wealth had anything to do with his mental state. The sad part about the rich going to trial and being able to afford the best lawyers to get away with murder is so sad when the poor and minorities almost always are forced to plea or are found guilty. I’m not a fan of the super rich.
More so INHERITED wealth.. look at what that's done to ethan couch
@@therealmrsruttle It is sad how many poor people are found guilty because they had some incompetent, public defender. Not all minorities are poor. Anybody with tons of money, get the best defense teams and get acquitted, also. Like OJ Simpson.
@@JustDr.S OJ! 🤦🏼♀️
Imagine how much patience the documentary makers must have had working with him. We only saw a fraction of it, paid off though eh guys 🙌👍🏼👏
You simply make me feel like i am with a friend and you make me smarter so thank you .
Love from egypt.
Thanks for discussing this. This case has always intrigued me and is the subject of one of my all-time favorite documentaries of all time on HBO covering this man and his accidental confession. To any of you who haven't seen it, you should.
The Jinx. So good.
Here in Brazil your name translates to "Dr. Big". I suggest you change it to "Dr. Gigante" so it can fit your knowledge.
Grande latte.
Sí, verdad. Me gusta mucho. Dr. Gigante.
😅
In Italian, grande means large. I'm not touching that with a 20-foot pole!
Si, si, but in Spanish and colloquial Spanish, Grande can have many other meanings, including great, tall, major (as in players), and jackpot (as for prizes). I'd go with the latter, since his followers here have "hit the jackpot" for psychological entertainment.
He's just as innocent as OJ, Casey Anthony and Robert Blake🙄
Ms Sharon, I see what you did there. 😄😅
Is funny cause...
it's true
You are kidding???Are u?I hope so!
@@earthskywater1442 lp LLL o LLL LL l LL LL l
Had to laugh when Dr. Grande said maybe someone left a personality out in sun too long causing a "decomposing" personality.
Yes... i actually laughed out loud ..he is a genius when it comes to wit
Thanks for listening to our suggestions! Been looking forward to this!
See, I didn't know the difference between cognitive empathy and affective empathy. Thanks Doc, I learn new things all the time 💕
You’re on a roll Doc!! Love the true crime
My favorite too!
Was so happy to see this in my notifications 🥰 thank you Dr. Grande ❤️🇿🇦
Yeah, I know! That cracked me up!!
The film “”All Good Things” was really interesting in its tackling of the Durst murders. Thanks, Dr Grande - fascinating synopsis and analysis🌈👏⭐️
I'm a senior citizen today Dr. G!
I'm 55! I'm going to be asking for discounts... 😆
loved the vid!
Where are you for that to be considered a senior citizen? And, judging by your pic, you're still as fresh as a daisy! x :)
Think of it as forty-fifteen.
@@jguenther3049 lol! I'll have to remember that!
@@folkloreofbeing why thank you! I'm in GA!
55 is a junior senior lol
I remember reading about this case at the time, interesting that he forgot the mic on his person. A dangerous man.
🌻Really been waiting on this one! Pleasant surprise didn’t think you were gonna do it. Thanks for taking my request 😊🙏
Dr. Grande, I don't know how you get all of these videos out so quickly, every day, and each one is better and more informative than the last!! I love the true crime. Thanks for sharing your time with us. 💞 You deserve some French Vanilla ice cream for this one! 🍦And a VERY Happy New Year to you and yours! 🥳
Could you do Bean Dad
LET’S GOOOOO please doctor grande :)
Or Mr Bean. :)
Who???
Jenny commenting on a Dr. Grande video, an unlikely crossover if I've ever seen one.
(I also second doing Bean Dad)
JENNY!! Funny seeing you here!
Can you do Paris Bennett? Is it possible that a child can fool everyone and wear a "normal" mask, for many years, while harboring evil thoughts and plans; is it possible that his mother saw no "red flags" of his psychopathy?
This case would make a very interesting episode. Such a strange story!
The Omen
I thought she had said she saw red flags. Hell even I saw a few myself in their old home videos....
Excellent! Never heard or read a better synopsis of Durst. 👍
I haven’t seen a harder worker in my life!! Every single day we get another amazing video🥰🥰🥰
The Jinx was an excellent documentary. Another great video Dr.
Hello Dr. Grande, request, if I may: Paris Lee Bennet.
And now onto Durst.
Thank you for your labour ❤️
Who is she? What did she do?
I Googled it. Too, too upsetting and disgusting.
I live in Trinidad (not the country) where he had house for several years, there’s a famous missing girl from the 90’s from around here and it’s long been speculated he might be involved.
tell more!
He did talk about Durst possibly involved in the murder of 3 girls in this video. One was in the 90's. Could be the girl you're talking about.
He liked to dress as a woman, despite his wealth (he had a beautiful home here) he would frequent local soup kitchens and homeless shelters, were pretty tolerant of eccentric folks here so I think he might of liked the area for that reason, I’ll have to think of more...
I think yes, her name was Karen Mitchell, and at the time it became a higher profile case (locally) because she was not your typical run away, or high risk person. The story goes the Durst used to shop at Karen’s aunts shoe shop and likely spotted her there, she would stop by occasional after school and then walk home, she was last seen walking...
Karen Mitchell
Definition of personality de-composition (per Grande Dictionary)
"If you take a personality out of the freezer and leave it in the hot sun for several days" Lol.
Love it
Why shoplift a newspaper, a sandwich and some band-aids when he had $37,000 in cash?
Cheap
you'd be surprised how often rich people steal small things for no real reason. i think it has to do with entitlement or being stingy
He saw it, he wanted it, he took it. Seems quite typical if you have that type of personality.
He probably got a cheap thrill shoplifting.
Would you believe that the majority of those who shoplift are middle to upper class married, middle-aged women? I learned that when I worked in retail. It’s not about having the means to buy the items. It’s about the “thrill” and sense of entitlement.
Excellent dissection of an oddly interesting personality and a circuitous defense 🕊I was fascinated with your explanation of his self talk and how might cognitively but not affectively understand what people feel.
Thanks Dr Grande.
“Durst offered a reward of $100,000, but later modified it to $15,000...... I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.” That’s exactly what I was thinking. 😂
Hahaha u funny though 😂😂
It does suggest that he thought there was a chance someone would find her... But maybe he was just worried about someone discovering the body
This is my fav channel! I only found it less than a month ago. I binged every one. You are funny and smart. Wish you were my Shrink! 🤠
Your videos are absolutely informative and fantastic. I always have to click and watch when you upload!
Happy New Year Dr Grande, thank you for the work that you do!
Happy new year!
YES!! He speaks! A rare phenomenon, indeed. Like Hailey's Comet! 🤗
The Durst story is a crazy story.
Yes! Durst was found guilty today September 17th 2021. It's about time I'm so sick of this man and his court cases.😑 Justice for Susan Berman.
Such good choice of cases, always !! Enjoy each and every post. Dr. Todd your wry, dry, wit is everything 🙌, thank you for ALL you do !!
Them getting that audio of him saying that in the bathroom was just.....wild. A goldmine for an exceptionally interesting documentary though.
I've immersed myself in a lot of true crime and I still felt uncomfortable watching "the jinx" alone at night sometimes. Even though I knew how the documentary ended, I still got chills in the final scene.
Such a cold, odd human. Truth is really stranger than fiction.
He is *terrifying*
Your explanation of Cognitive versus Affective Empathy makes SO much sense. I’ve been told psychopaths are forced to imitate “normal” behavior to avoid detection. Is Durst’s bathroom sound clip an example of a psychopath strategy session? It seems the clip caught him in the act of weaving a sheep’s 🐑 cloak for himself. If so- it’s truly chilling to note how calm he is.
Really love your tone , keep up the good work
I bet Dr. Grande will have 1 Million + subscribers before the end of 2021. Balanced, Calm, intelligent and witty-we really need this sort of content ❤️🙏
This creator never takes the day off! He's on the Grind, eh?
Grande has no time 4 surgeries
@J squirrelI missed him on his days off, it was weird, lol
"It seems like a kit someone would assemble to guarantee a judge was not going to set bail." Flawless.
Dr. Grande can you please cover Phil Spector, the man who invented the musical "wall of sound"?!
Should totally do an analysis on The Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs!!!!!!
One of the most nauseatingly horrid cases I've ever heard.
i heard no mention of a particular highly revelatory and macabre episode of durst's life: he had a dog named igor that went missing, was replaced multiple times by another dog of the same breed that would also be named igor and would also subsequently disappear, over and over. he was heard to use the word igor as a verb apparently meaning murder. the theory i buy is that he was practicing vivisection and cadaver concealment, and maybe getting some cheap thrill-kills in
Thnx, that was an interesting side note, why I read the comments.👍🏻
It’s so hard to wrap my mind around what makes these people tick! Thanks again, Dr G for breaking it down in a way that is easier to understand, even though it’s difficult to fathom.
I managed to get off work early today. Didn't think the day could get any better, then I saw this video. Ahhh, yes!
Had he been poor, he would have already been convicted for life, I think.
Very true
Don't even know what is this about but I know already in gonna like it. ✨
A lot of crime shows and channels have covered this. It’s unbelievable. I think there is a doc on it.
Watch the doc it’s great, if you’re a fan of it’s always sunny in Philadelphia it will give you a better appreciation of the episode “making Dennis a murderer” as deVito does an on point impersonation.
I’m watching the jinx now. Grande sh receive compensation from Netflix
If you can ..watch the trial..its now my time July 31 2021..its in Los Angeles
Oh my, Dr. Grande, you are really hitting it out of the ballpark. Phil Spectre, Robert Durst, who's next? Money, fame, strangeness? Could it be Justin Bieber? Please let me know via satellite message if l guessed correctly. Great analysis as always, Dr. Grande, of LONG suffering women who INSIST on marrying weird, weird men.♥️
I like this, as well as the high profile celebrity personalities you analyze. Could you do one on Heard and Depp? Whats going on there?
He's already done at least 2.
Doctor Grande 💖 could you actually please do a video on different levels of talking to yourself, and what's considered normal? 🤪 Made me think about it when you were talking about Durst having dialogue with himself to suss out what sounded empathic etc.
Autism Spectrum Disorder strikes again. I was diagnosed with it at the age of 5. Hence why I'd like to talk with you about it because it opens up a pandora's box into understanding human psychology.
I want to talk with you about it too
I don't think so. He's very studied in how he behaves.
This was very interesting. I hadn’t heard of the three additional murders until today. If those deaths may be attributed to Durst then he could more clearly be suffering from psychopathy and is extremely dangerous as long as he remains at large.
Hey Dr. Grande! Would it be interesting for you to cover big Edie and little Edie Beale, from the documentary Grey Gardens? ❤️
Dr Grande is quickly becoming the highlight of my day. No offense Doc but I gotta get more of a social life. Dang it Corona go away.
Same here
Yep, me too!😁
This is great, Dr. Grande! 👏🏼 You have so much knowledge!
His behavior and the negitive and irrationally pronounced voice in his head, leads me to conclude that defence council should enter a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity.
He may have known right from wrong at times but the amplified voice in his head seemed to override rationality.
He certainly had diminished ability to act with reason and restraint.
He wants to take control the family business but is peeing in trash cans and doesnt have enough were withall to stop talking to himself while in meetings.
( I would imagine he was saying some strange things to get booted from the company. His family owned the place!)
Peeing on a candy display l is a clear cut break from reality in my opinion and would be consistent with other behaviors.
He wants to stay unnoticed from police but his strange behaviour is drawing attention.
Maybe his intellegence was keeping him from a complete break from reality.
It seems to be a constant struggle with him to stay sane.
It is logical that he should be confined to a mental health facility.( If found guilty)
Very clever comment , sometimes I think mental health experts are nuts themselves.
Watching & listening to him on the stand for Susan, is amazing that his brain isn't pickled. He waits awhile to get his facts together with his lies & so far was doing a great job lying & not doing too much contradicting stories! Have to have a memory for all his lies!
Except he knows rt from wrong. He knew to dress like a woman to stay disguised. He knew Susan had the goods on him. Having a black hollow soul, is that really mental. He is entitled & does so many drugs! Maybe he is off but he knows what wrong & right is. Paranoia is from all that dope!
@@phyllisirwin5660
"Knowing" right from wrong is much more than conditioning.
An intuitive feeling is the fundamental guide for doing the right thing.
Those that are disconnection from that Soul feeling tend to get in alot of trouble.
Wonder if he'll try the "affluenza" defense? Speaking of which, I'd like to see your take on that, both regarding treating patients, and its validity as a legal defense or mitigating factor.
Frances Farmer ... lobotomy. Could you analyse her ? Durst got away for years. Finally caught. This was great Dr. G.
Caught??Means nothing!Convictions are what counts!
I've just discovered your interesting channel, and have been binge watching to catch up. Your approach of analysis, objectivity and dry humor has a lot of true crime fans, myself included. I watched the Lizzie Borden video. 👍 I've read many books documentaries, about her, and, I still can't decide that one. I'd like it if you delved into more of the very old infamous murder cases. One murder case that fascinates me is the murderous maids, the Papin sisters, that occurred in Le Mans, France, Febuary 2nd, 1933.
Have you seen the channel 'They Got away with Murder'? Mark does and excellent video on Lizzie Borden. Very in depth and engaging.
@@folkloreofbeing No, I haven't, I'll check it out.
@@greenfaerie61537 You are in for a treat. He covers all the old 19th early 20th cent cases. From your comment, I think that is right up your street. :)
This is an interesting story.
I realize that we aren't here specifically to discuss the finer points of Law, however, there actually is a specific charge for what he did to the body... besides the obvious implications of that action.
Thats just disgusting.
Here we go! My favorite part of the day!
Watched this a second time. The case California vs. Durst is underway and this provides motivation to listen to this video again and perhaps again and again.
I have a Son with Asperger's and he has OCD to an extent that makes him exibit some narcissistic behaviors but he has a heart of gold when he is paying attention
I was searching Dr Grande about this case only yesterday!!!!!! literally!!
Always interesting and compelling content.
Very interesting case with both his horrible, psychotic crimes, and all the layers of his personality traits that you spoke of with your incredibly insightful mind!
Thank you so much Dr. Grande, for yet another fascinating video!
Thank you for all your videos, it’s now a regular part of my day 🙏
There's a movie about this called _All Good Things_ with Ryan Gosling as Durst and Kirsten Dunst as Kathy. (Their name is Marks in this film). It is a film I recommend and shows just how creepy Durst is. Regarding the movie he said, "Kirsten Dunst was nearly perfect as Kathy, but Gosling wasn't good looking enough to play me."
Another murdering, narcissistic a**hole
Thank you Dr Grande 👍🌹
Also brilliant analysis!Thank You Dr.Grande ...
9:59 “It seems like a kit that somebody would assemble to guarantee……….a judge was not going to set bail”
Another zinger from Dr G! 👏🏻
I don't think money was the complete motive for killing Kathy. She was trying to divorce him, and that's a dangerous time for women.
What a well researched and presented video. It must have taken so much time and work to put it all together in a chronological way.
Thank you for doing this complex case!
Such a beautiful analysis of an incredibly complex case! Robert Durst really came to life as I listened to the case
"All Good Things" is a good movie about Durst. They changed the names to avoid a lawsuit, but it mirrors the events. Ryan Gosling plays the Durst type character and Kirsten Dunst plays the Kathy type character. If your looking for a good movie about this case, it's a good watch.
I think he has some mental health issues, exasperated by his affluence.
Exasperated? I think emboldened is a more accurate fit.
I'm sick of psychopaths blaming their deficiencies on asd, 😠
I knew Susan Berman when I was a kid; we went to the same school. She grew up to be a really good writer. I believe Robert Durst killed her to cover up what she knew about the disappearance of his wife years ago. I, too, am interested in seeing how Durst comes out in the trial for Berman's murder. I believe he will be convicted this time.
She seemed pretty odd herself.
@@cacu3989 Her family background was odd but I remember Susan as fairly normal though very intelligent.
Thank you, Dr. Grande. I’ve been waiting for this one. Great analysis!
As soon as I saw 18 minutes long, I knew if would be complicated. Gary Ridgeway at over 30 minutes still holds the record, I believe.
Thank you for all the hard work. I really appreciate the analysis. You are very talented and seem super nice!
Your definition of "personality decomposition" just slayed me! Thank you for your humor!
Absolutely the best youtube channel💜Thank you Dr Grande.I truly admire you!
Please could you consider looking at the characters of the recent film "Promising Young Woman" Dr. Grande? Thanks, happy new year!
On which platform is this movie streaming, I have been looking for it.
The way I remember it is this: the trial resumed and durst was frequently sick and often disruptive and confrontational. He was found guilty and died in prison about 14 months later. Depending on how good my memory is ,I hope that's useful to somebody.
I would be interested in an analysis of a jury that found him not guilty of the Morris murder. That is the most puzzling aspect for me knowing that he agreed to the dismemberment. I see you have a podcast too. I'm looking forward to that!
What I find so intriguing about Durst is his ability to be convincing by not trying to be. Like how he openly admits to lies and his matter of fact reasons. We’re used to seeing people plead their innocence and beg to be believed. Bob doesn’t do that and it gives him a measure of credibility.
He killed them all, of course.
I heard Robert Durst died in prison today. I am sure this despot will not be missed. I am just so sad that there is no closure for Kathie’s family as to where her remains are.
A murderous evil man, a pity it took so long to get him.
Love your site Dr Grande 😊
How does this case become more and more bizarre every single time I hear an update? it's like his brain can only understand what is 100% the opposite of what any normal human behavior would be and then says "hold my beer." And I've been hoping for months that you'd cover him and finally thought I would ask and then get home and BOOM! All my dreams came true. This video was phenomenal.
Dr. Grande, you probably won't see this but I've been watching the Durst trial, the movie and the documentary.
You were saying if Robert is considered a "serial killer", he would be a bit different because most do it for dominance.
He killed Kathy because she was going to take his money and leave him, he killed Morris because he found out he was not a woman and could turn him in. And he killed Susan because she was going to tell police what she knew about Kathy.
To me, all of those were examples of needing to be in control or dominant.
Am I off base here?
Thank you
Why do Mr. Durst's glasses 🤓look like Snapchat glasses 😆
I have no idea. 🤓
Got to say, watching The Jinx made me think Durst had some psychological condition, I love ‘mental decomposition’ as a diagnostic catch all!
I found this analysis and content interesting, thank you.
Thank you for this Dr Grande! I’ve been waiting for your thoughts on this case, and it was very interesting! (Amazing how he managed to get away with Black’s murder...) Please consider looking into the Garret Philips case.
It would be great to do follow up videos when a death or conviction happens
I agree
