WTW49: Anti-woke Law Professor Swears DEI Took His Job Apr 25, 2024

Show notes

Folks, there are anti-woke crybabies, and there are anti-woke crybabies, and then there is Scott Gerber. Scott Gerber may be the new leader in the WTW clubhouse for pathetic, egomaniacal anti-woke manbabies. You might not recognize the name, but you likely will recognize this joke of an article he wrote defending Clarence Thomas, "Supreme Court justices are allowed to have friends." Believe us when we say, Scott Gerber's victim complex when it comes to his own life makes the Clarence Thomas article look like the dudes from The 300.

Lydia's got the story for us, and you won't want to miss it.

WTW48: There Once Was a Jordan Peterson MBA Program. What Happened to It? Apr 22, 2024

Show notes

This wild ride into JBP's dealings wouldn't be the same without a deeper dive into the MBA Fellowship he "founded" and a look into how he conducts the rest of his businesses. Spoiler: like the man himself, it's all just really strange.

And we talk about Mikhaila Peterson, the OG meat-eater, for the first time in this series!

WTW47: Jordan Peterson's Research Lives In Canada, You Wouldn't Know It Apr 10, 2024

Part 6 of Junk Science and So Much Grift: The Jordan Peterson Story

It's finally here!!! Our coverage of the long-awaited missing study and fraud-adjacent activity committed by Jordan Peterson. Were Brophy and Peterson just making shit up? Or was there a top secret study no one published? Also where did Peterson's research money go? This all sure seems sketchy AF.

WTW46: IDK What You Think You're Measuring But It's Not Political Correctness Apr 08, 2024

Show notes

Part 5 of Junk Science and So Much Grift: The Jordan Peterson Story

Just wait until you hear some of these questions in the "PC Battery." They are not measuring anything remotely useful. It's actually hilarious. Lydia and I play a game of making the rubric and grading each other's political correctness points, based on our best attempt to estimate what Brophy would have done. It's nonsense!

What are the factors in reality? They aren't what JBP and Brophy think.

WTW45: The Brophy Study Is Wrong In Nearly Every Possible Way Apr 01, 2024

Part 4 of Junk Science and So Much Grift: The Jordan Peterson Story

This study was so fucking bad that we needed to call an actual expert just to make sure we weren't missing something. Turns out, we WERE missing something. Actually, a lot. But the things we were missing were ways that the study sucks even more than we knew! Dr. Janessa Seymour has the breakdown!

WTW44: Junk Science and So Much Grift: The Jordan Peterson Story Apr 01, 2024

Show notes

Part... 3? It's kinda part 2... but also part 1 in a way...

Well however you look at it, this episode begins a series looking at the awful science Jordan Peterson uses to make wild claims about the PC/Woke left. It's so much more terrible than you can imagine, AND, it all comes down to... a non-peer-reviewed Master's Thesis.

WTW43: Jordan Peterson, Christine Brophy, and a Master's Thesis All Walk Into a Lauren Southern... Mar 07, 2024

Show notes

Part 2 of our JBP odyssey Having gotten all of 2 minutes into the JBP Rap Analysis video, we were stopped in our tracks by an absolutely insane set of claims based on some mystery "research" Peterson did in 2016. He claims that Left-Wing Authoritarianism is most highly predicted by 1. being dumb 2. being female 3. having a female disposition?!?! and 4. having taken a single woke course or seminar. That is, prima facie, absolutely not correct. But where on Earth did he get that? We tracked it down. And discovered so much along the way...

WTW42: Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, and Tom MacDonald All Walk Into a Grift... Feb 29, 2024

Show notes

Part 1!

After *Rap Icon* Ben Shapiro made his simultaneous debut and retirement in Tom MacDonald's "Facts" last month, Jordan Peterson realized what the public needed was an incredibly overwrought and bull shitty analysis of these very simple lyrics. Before we get to that, though, we take a look at the characters. Who is Tom MacDonald and how much does he suck? Could he have ever just been a normal musician? We all know Ben Shapiro, but do you know about his claimed musicianship? That's the subject of a BONUS, look for that later. And finally, Jordan Peterson himself. Is he still a clinical psychologist? Is any amount of authoritarian tolerance enough for him to be beautiful? And more!

WTW41: Gina Carano Sues Disney Feb 28, 2024

Show notes

Using Elon Musk's money, Gina Carano (AKA Cara Dune in seasons 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian series) is suing Disney & Lucasfilm over her "firing" in February 2021. We had Matt Cameron, current co-host of Opening Arguments, join to help us break this thing down. How does Carano allege she was harmed, and what exactly are her claims for relief here? Is this suit just a nothingburger or is there actually some meat on this thing?

WTW40: The Woke Kindergarten Fallout - School Board Members Gone Wild Feb 27, 2024

Show notes

It's Part 2 of our research into the Woke Kindergarten controversy! Lydia gives us more detail as to the repercussions of the firestorm that we broke down in Part 1. We visit the scene of the crime, Hayward Unified, and spend some time with their school board and perhaps one of the worst Board Members WTW has covered so far. And - are some entities weaponizing this news to further their own agenda? Goldwater Institute's Academic Transparency Act (PDF) Hayward Unified's Equity & Antiracism Board Policy
