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.

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

Every single time the right, or even center-left, goes ballistic over a "woke" controversy, the slightest bit of investigation shows the scandal is almost entirely bogus. This is not a new phenomenon; it dates back decades. It's an intentional tool used to protect the powerful and preserve the status quo, while further scapegoating and otherizing those who push for political progress. This podcast digs into not just today's fake scandals, but those of yesterday and yesteryear. The terminology has changed some, but the pattern has not. Listen in as host Thomas Smith shines a light on the panic, the fragility, the overreaction, and the lying that ignites 'Where There's Woke.'

WTW50: New College Was a Progressive University. Then Ron DeSantis Took It Over

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. Feel free to email us at lydia@seriouspod.com or thomas@seriouspod.com!
