This episode is going to be a record scratch. We're doing a little freeze for at the beginning, we're goin to goloes. I want to kind of establish who this guy is and why his pretty weird advice is considered credible. So he's born in 19 62 in edmonton, alberta. He grows up in fair view, which is a small town. His mam is a librarian. His dad is a school teacher. It seems rate in semiotics, you would call it a hegemonic upbringing. Andhe, he does a thing where he's like, i'm not recommending it to anybody else, but i've had people talk to me about
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
