What his use of the word "being honest/ I need to be honest/just being honest" - this is a verbal give away that he's about to say something he knows is shameful, like begging, or when he's bullied a viewer.
He covers whatever vile thing he said or did with the facade of honesty - that he's such an honest person that what he's doing is getting this opinion off his chest.
His use of the word "honest" as a cover for something he himself knows to be shameful is a really strong pattern once you're alert to it, and suggests a level of insight, which is kind of interesting.
