Episode notes

In 19 neighty nine, he publishes his first book, which is called maps of meaning. I have heard that before he becomes famous, the book only sold roughly 500 copies. It's 602 pages long. The version of it that i have it is catastrophically unreadable. There are clauses on clauses on clasets happening here. Look what it does to your body to try to understand tha fucking paragraph. So i'm going to send you a screen grab of you're not going to believe me, but i swear to god, i'm being generous.

Oops all meat: How a '50s bodybuilder, a Grateful Dead roadie and an unreadable professor accidentally launched one of America's wildest fad diets.

Here's Mike's "Cancel Culture" video!

Note: In our discussion of Jordan Peterson’s political correctness lecture, I made a sarcastic comment about looking “slim in this dress.” After the episode came out, we started hearing from listeners that my comment reminded them of fatphobic jokes they’d heard in the past and didn’t feel consistent with the message of the show. They were right! It was a bad joke and we've removed it from the episode. We'll be discussing this and our approach to handling feedback and editing past episodes in more detail soon. Thanks to everyone who wrote in to let us know! — Mike
