Guerrilla Social Work Podcast

Mace and Jeff put Matt Walsh’s antidepressant episode under the clinical microscope — and it does not pass the functional impairment test. They break down the 2022 Molecular Psychiatry umbrella review that dismantled the low-serotonin narrative, explain why that finding doesn’t indict SSRIs as a category, and make the case that the “chemical imbalance” pitch was always more pharmaceutical advertis...

Tonight, we're unleashing Outcome Oriented (OO)—the black-ops tactic for infiltrating your client's antisocial chaos by mirroring their warped worldview with Theory of Mind (ToM), snagging permission for feedback, and hijacking their perspective to steer toward prosocial wins without ego implosion. Decode madness, weaponize trust, and sabotage failure: therapy's ultimate reroute from slammer-bound...

Tonight, we’re diving into every clinician’s guilty secret: countertransference—that cocktail of disgust, anger, or eye-rolls that show up when your client’s Dark Triad vibes (psychopathy, narcissism, Machiavellian scheming) hit a little too close to home. Instead of pretending we’re made of stone, we’ll show you how to spot those reactions, keep them from wrecking your credibility, and flip the m...

In this sequel to our “Man vs. Beast” episode, we answer the internet’s burning question: Could 100 unarmed men defeat a silverback gorilla? Turns out—yeah, they actually could. And that revelation cracks open a deeper psychological truth. Jeff and Mace break down the clash between Dunning–Kruger delusion and Impostor Syndrome paralysis—why the least capable people overestimate themselves, while h...

Tonight we’re rewinding the VHS of pop culture to ask one simple question: Whatever happened to all the boobs? In the 1980s and early ’90s, R-rated flicks were basically a wet-T-shirt contest with a plot: think Porky’s meets Friday the 13th with bonus saxophone music. Fast-forward to the 2000s and suddenly the MPAA slaps you with an NC-17 if a naked ankle lingers too long—but show a dude getting p...

This week, we’re diving into a topic that lights up headlines and online comment sections like a Molotov cocktail at a PTA meeting: the female teacher–male student “affair.” You know the story—attractive thirty-something educator, underaged male student, and a society that somehow treats it like a subplot in a teen comedy instead of a felony. But we’re not just here for the tabloid trash—we’re als...

This week, we’re heading to the Lone Star State for a story that puts the “fun” in “funeral” and the “what the actual hell” in “criminal justice.” A Texas embalmer allegedly took anatomical revenge on a dead sex offender—and let’s just say, the body wasn’t the only thing getting stiff that day. It’s a tale of postmortem payback, questionable ethics, and the kind of crime scene that makes even seas...

Looking for love? Maybe look somewhere else. This week, we’re exposing the states where online dating is less about finding "the one" and more about surviving the night.
