I think the line, "yes. Seeing him cry made me love him more" is so underappreciated because that's such a wonderful embracing of positive masculinity that it just warms my heart

"i've always wanted to be a carpenter" wake up babe mark lore unlocked

to whoever said “let’s all agree we hate the host, though?” YOU LEAVE MY BOY MARK OUT OF THIS!!

uncle mike really found five sisters and decided "i got a 20% chance of success let's go"

Wouldn’t it be a whole mess if they brought the dad in, he asked his own question and then was like “Gotcha! I don’t love you son!” 😭😭

“Despite the life you’ve lived, do you think I still love you?” So, for context, it’s common in Mormon families that if you leave the church, go against its teachings, or do something “wrong” then you’re burned and family members will not see you the same way anymore. It’s pretty common to hear about young adults who don’t speak to their parents anymore because their parents shun them and refuse to speak to their children anymore. And parents who don’t disown their children, will openly say things against them and often will “lose” love for that kid or treat them differently because of it. And I’m not talking about serious crimes or anything, literally for things as simple as drinking alcohol or not going to church.

Former Mormon here, my theory about why there were multiple Mormons on is basically the culture of Mormonism. It’s very “fake a smile, appearance is everything, lie to save face.” People will say one thing and mean another just to maintain the illusion of being a good or kind person. There’s a lot of silent judgement in Mormon culture. If you aren’t living a perfect life then you’re open to harsh criticism and sometimes even ridicule, which is stupid because no one is perfect. A show like this that exposes truths would be appealing to Mormons who just want straight answers and it works well because everyone has things to hide, just bolstered by the fact that everything is so taboo to “the church.”

All of these episodes are pretty tame compared to the Indian version of this show. I vaguely remember this one dude who confessed to practically cheating with every single one of his partners, dating underage girls and some more creepy stuff. That dude was so disgusting, it's been years and I still remember this episode.

i cant stop watching these moment of truth videos im obsessed

Every bad moment was worth it to hear Mark chuckle when asking about the wax replica

Today and the last few days were horrible... but I am glad that there is always your video I can look forward to at the end of my day (it's 8 pm in Germany right now)... it just helps me to get distracted in a world which is way too much for me to handle...

the way this man looks like Walmart Matthew Perry during Friends

I think that the couple probably thought that the show would be a win-win for them, with Aimee "getting relief" from hearing the polygraph answers, and them winning money for it. I've known a lot of people who thought that they would feel secure in their relationship if they "had proof" that their partner was telling the truth. (I'm using quotes because there's no such thing as a "lie detector"; it's pseudoscience.) But that's not how trust is built in a relationship-- relying on a test to "prove" that something is true or false just reinforces the original mistrust, and it puts partners at odds with one another. I feel sad for both of them and for their kids

Though Mike is not my uncle, I grew up Mormon, and the Mormon way is definitely a lot of casual dating of anyone you know, so sisters would not be strange if it just didn't really click. And then also, on the sex with friends wife question, there is definitely a culture of like, if you're not your partner's first then even if they choose you, it's not as good or you're made to feel less than or their love is less than etc. And also for that to be public there's definitely a huge shame that like, she's a woman to be pitied within her church community.

At least in the area I grew up in, mormons dating an entire family of people is not uncommon. There was even one case where a boy dated every girl in a family of 5 girls and 3 boys. He finally settled on the youngest sister. The entire time, there had been this "Who will he pick?" suspense going on and I think only like two or three of us thought it was a very weird situation all around.

Honestly? I like Mike. I feel like all the “bad” things he confessed to are only bad under the strict, repressive culture of Mormonism. Not to invalidate Aimee’s feelings or anything, I’m sure she’s a victim of indoctrination too, but like that ideology just has SUCH an unhealthy impact on how you view sex and relationships. Mike seems like he just lived his life, and the culture he was raised in deemed that worthy of shame.

never been into watching streams till Jarvis its so entertaining and relaxing. I really enjoy the commentary and everyone is so chill 😌

hate that “prettiest woman you ever dated” question so much. i have body dysmorphia and awful retroactive jealousy that i’m working extremely hard to overcome. that would *literally* kill me to hear. Just seems intentionally hurtful, pointless as sh-t and disgusting. Plus, she is f-king beautiful. 100% resent the focus on appearance on this planet. Ask questions about things that MATTER that won’t intentionally HURT people for no good reason at all. edit: pretty much all of the questions suck. just glad this show stopped airing.

I thought about it and I think I like Mike. My gut reaction is to be iffy about him, but I think that is motivated by the reactions to his answers more than the answers themselves. I believe religion and norms/expectations about sex and dating played a HUGE role here. So he has fantasies? So he dated other women? So he had sex before? All of these things hold huge weight when looked at through a Christian/Mormon spiritual lens but are not things that we look down on typically in these videos (not saying Jarvis was). Mike's wife was absolutely allowed her feelings and reactions to his answers, but I don't think any of his answers were bad.

I could not for a moment stop thinking about how much uncle Mike looks like Chandler from friends

mormont of truth

these vod clips are getting me through finals week, thank you so much

Uncle Mike was dating through this same family because he just has a strong sense of brand loyalty.

Its was sweet to see his wife comforting his mom. Like, they seem like they have a close bond which I dont think of as being common thing for in-laws.

These are keeping me going. Legitimately. I've had such little to watch and I'm stuck at home super depressed. These help

uploaded literal seconds after i finished making my breakfast, thank you jarvis now i have something to watch

Uncle Mike said “Can I say he was a 🤬*** 🤬***🤬🤬🤬🤪?”

love the casual trans rights in the twitch chat when Jarvis left. hell yeah trans rights :)

Uncle mike scares me if the first thing mike says “you enjoy your job?”

Uncle Mike looks like Chandler Bing

At 18:47 is it just me or is it weird that chat is like hating on Mike for being attracted to someone like????? He literally can’t control that.

God this episode was so insanely tough on Mike what the hell?

thanks for uploading your VODs to youtube! as someone from the southern hemisphere with not a lot of free time, it's nice to be able to sit down and enjoy your videos when i have the chance. and i don't know why, but these moment of truth episodes are just so damn entertaining.

I’m so glad you have been uploading these VODs to KZfaq because I love long form content from you but I can’t always make it to streams when you’re live! This has been the highlight of my week.

"I fell more in love with my husband after making him cry." Audience: Awwwww.

33:59 Mom! Mom, get the camera! I'm on the Jarvis Johnson twitch stream!

When Mike squeezed his face as he laughed he especially looked like Chandler

So about his friends wife- the phrasing is such so that while we can say the woman is his friend's wife *now,* the question is vague enough that there's no definitive evidence saying she was anyone's wife *at the time of the fling*

Mike is just running through that family 🤣

I love being able to make it to his lives it’s more fun when you can interact

THE WHIPLASH WHEN HE SAID HE WAS MORMON I STOPPED LAUGHING LIKE DEADASS THIS ADDS A WHOLE NEW LAYER BRO THIS SHIT IS WILD WAIT HOLDUPPPPPP

As someone with two Uncle Mikes, this is going to be a weird watch.

Just joined twitch so I can watch these streams live. For some reason I've been looking forward to them a lot.

I feel like if you didn’t grow up in the culture of fundamentalist religion, then it’s hard to understand what’s (probably) going on here. Fundamentalist Mormonism does not have a healthy relationship with sex and sexuality. When it comes to the risqué, it’s a culture of repression and shame where sex is only meant for heterosexual married couples. In these communities, to have participated in sexual acts before marriage is considered a stain, to the point that it can disqualify you as a potential partner for your abstinent peers and potentially make you a target for judgement/rumors. Given all this, relationships between unequally abstinent fundamentalist religious people are, as you’d expect, complicated. So... From what I can tell, it seems most likely that Amy is in this situation: she loves her husband and they’re faithful to each other, but she remained abstinent until they were married where as Mike did not. This would also explain her unhealthy obsession with and distrust surrounding her sister’s past relationship with Mike. If that’s the case, then I’m not sure Amy deserves much in the way of sympathy (specifically for the sex stuff discussed on the show) because, as much as I hate to see her cry, those tears are for herself. She’s mourning the fact that she isn’t married to a “pure” man. She’s mourning the fact that her husband wasn’t perfectly celibate before they met, and to the point that it’s brought strife into their relationship. She’s making her husband feel guilt and shame for something he did years ago, and it was never any of her business in the first place. She almost certainly married him knowing he wasn’t a virgin, so how is it fair or healthy for her to hold it over him? (If he lied about being a virgin, however, that would significantly change my interpretation of the situation.) I also just want to acknowledge the fact that none of this is really Amy’s fault, and I don’t mean to attack her if it sounds that way. She’s a victim of indoctrination and repressive ideology that she had no choice but to live under for (probably) her whole life. For that, and for the pain it brings her and her loved ones, I feel more sympathy than ever. Sorry for the essay, but this hit too close to home for me, lol. Before I was an atheist, I was exactly like Amy: unhealthily jealous and unfairly obsessed with my partner’s past to the absolute detriment of our relationship.

Watching chat absolutely ERUPT after the sister daring reveal makes me howl

Even if you are Mormon it's weird to date siblings the way he did. Dating is different within Mormon culture though, you don't kiss you're basically old-fashioned courting. It's *supposed* to be that way but a lot of people do really weird things like dry hump because you get in less trouble with the church if you're fully clothed going "too far" 😅

Watching these alone are miserable, so just having someone there to break it up makes these episodes so much easier to digest

These lives have become part of my daily routine I’m obsessed

Uncle Mike be like "I gotta get in with that family"

I see grandma hazel as very kind but sassy and hilarious lol

We stan Grandma Hazel

no jarvis, i do not want to be like armstrong. i want to be like binkusbonkus

Haven't made it to the end of the video yet, but having grown up in mormonism, his dad saying "in spite of the life you've led" makes more sense than a lot of people realize. It is VERY difficult to leave this church, and most people who do are frowned upon and a lot of them are shunned/disowned. Lots of parents blame their kids for leaving because they think they're just going against the grain and doing this to spite their parents, when it's really just the kids figuring out themselves, and it really strains parent/child relationships. Lots of ex-mormons cut off their mormon family when they leave because it's so hard to have so many people you were once close with telling you that you're a shitty person and that you deserve to go to hell. Obviously different people have different experiences but it's very common.

the captions are really giving us a whole new story

grandma hazel is the literal love of my life

Why is everyone so pressed about a wax penis replica, that seems bad ass honestly.

I havent seen most of these, and as stated Jarvis says dont spoil it. Then asks by spoiling, "is this where he dated the sisters beforehand?" As he (contestant) answers yes...

these vods help me feel so much less lonely while in sick. bronchitis is a bitch, but jarvis and chat are so comfy :)

Shoutout to armstrong380!! I unfortunately don't have a consistent enough schedule to participate in live streams on Twitch. I do really enjoy reading the chat during these videos, there are some truly hilarious people out there.

UNCLE MIKEEE I watched it in stream and now again with vod

I’m really SO surprised this like “tore the family apart” it wasn’t that bad!

The drama! This Mormon man drank green tea everyday for 2 years. It was pretty intense

My dad is one of five boys... my mom dated two of his brothers. family band. 🤣

he’s the goat let him live 😭 🙏

why do we all have an uncle mike?

What a wonderful notification, I love to see it.

As an exmo, I know exactly why he'd lie about his belief in mormonism.

Also, like, the family has to be the ones asking these questions, right? Like… the sister question? 😳😳😳

currently three minutes in this family seems very sweet i like them so far

Oh nooo Mike tries to be a little triumphant at the end and Aimee is still just completely crushed.

I could be just like Armstrong if your streams weren't at 3 am on weekdays for my timezone :

I feel like that final question was so rough on Aimee bc her husband has not only dated her two sisters, had the show imply he fantasizes about them/find them more attractive than her, but then finds out that (as a Mormon) she was not his first but it was actually her CLOSE FRIEND!!! That’s a lot of feelings of betrayal and a LOT of blows to anyone’s self worth regardless of religion/views on sex/marriage/etc but especially when you consider that it sounds like she thought she was his first up until the polygraph for the show and then learned that she wasn’t and therefore is not his true soulmate has GOT to hurt

20:29 and here we understand why the attractiveness question holds so much weight 😳

Yaaayy! New vid! Is your live on Twitch? Sorry, I’m lame and not “in the know” 😅 I’m trying to be more involved in the communities online that help me feel happy.

I think Jarvis is confusing sexual fantasy with having a passing sexual thought. In this case, I think the show is using sexual fantasy as fantasying or daydreaming about having sex with someone for a length of time, which is a lot different than a random, passing thought.

I like how uncle Mike has 6 siblings and the 2 siblings that came on the show aren't even his

41:30 you’re welcome Jarvis:)

Uncle Mike family dating speed run (GONE RIGHT)

Mike is really into the family

UNCLE MIKE LETS GOOOO

Mike is OUR uncle 😩😤☭

commenting before watching the video, i hope uncle mike doesn't say anything that messes up the family for years!

Not uncle Mike looking like he’s Matthew Perry’s twin brother

29:50 GRANDMA HAZEL LOOKS READY TO THROW DOWN MY GOODNESS

COLE WAS THERE TOO

If Jarvis does do bingo with this "who cares" should be the free space because there is always that part.

Ugh, having a hard time finishing this one. I'm so uncomfortable right now.

Imagine if someone got outed on the show

Uncle Mike likes to get his fruit all from the same tree. Easy pickins, he calls it.

Question 2 escalated quickly 😂

“No attraction to lose”

Lot of people either feeling really guilty or very curious about fantasies.

He looks like alternate dimension Chandler

48:15 when you're raised with such a strict emphasis on "purity", that can be a really hard thing to hear even when it's not a cheating situation. all growing up you constantly hear about purity and how important it is to wait for marriage and finding out your partner didn't can really mess with your head. especially if they lied about it before.

Had to go out and buy cream puffs to enjoy yet another episode of a Jarvis stream. I'm gonna be on break from work soon so hopefully I can catch some live!

It looks like chanandler bong went on moment of truth

Is there a reason why so many of the contestants are of Mormon faith???

"Last Week Ellen had an emotional melt down" Bro stfu she slayed that shit.

What up armstrong380 hope the stream is going well

How do I get adopted by Grandma Hazel, see seems like a good hugger and support
