Where There's Woke

Hey folks, please enjoy this free preview of the September bonus!  On Debate Night Eve, we share the Tim Walz stories that the Right desperately hope will stick and hurt Harris/Walz in the polls. Have they found one to combat Governor Walz's impeccable BDE (Big Dad Energy)? Heath Enwright (The Scathing Atheist, Citation Needed, God Awful Movies, etc.) joins us as we journey through - and debunk -...

Part 5 of our series Jon Ronson's Things Fell Apart Falls Apart Alright, this episode of Things Fell Apart is what really did it. S2E5. This is the one that made us absolutely certain we had to do this series. Jon Ronson introduces listeners to January Littlejohn, a "concerned mother" in Florida, and what happened when her child began questioning their gender identity. However, in his neverending...

The 4th part of our series Jon Ronson's Things Fell Apart Falls Apart It's time to move on to... episode 3 of season 2 of Things Fell Apart. This episode features the worst example of both sidesing I've ever heard . It's astonishing. An interracial family was driving in the woods to go camping during the pandemic. A group of angry right wing racists, with guns and dogs, follows them and cuts down...

The 4th part of our series Jon Ronson's Things Fell Apart Falls Apart Jon Ronson's grand theory of Judy Mikovitz is that she was a normal, accomplished scientist, until she was "arguably mistreated," after which she became the kind of person who would be the subject of Plandemic. This final episode completely disproves this theory. It also shows how incredibly dishonest Judy has been about her arr...

Part 3 of of our series on Jon Ronson's Things Fell Apart. On the podcast Knowledge Fight, Jordan asks Jon Ronson a good question: if there were a bunch of people involved in this bogus Judy Mikovits study, why was she the only one who had the cell line? Jon had no answer. Jenessa does. How the hell did everyone miss this? If you enjoy our work, please consider leaving a 5-star review! You can alw...

Part 2 of our series on Jon Ronson's Things Fell Apart. A chance encounter at a yacht club? Or... a not at all chance encounter at a convention for quackery? Dr. Jenessa Seymour takes us through it.

At long last, we're releasing our series on how Jon Ronson both sidesed the truth into oblivion in the 2nd season of Things Fell Apart. The show, just like its host, is engaging and entertaining. The reporting, however, is not good. It is incredibly favorable to the anti-woke brigade, and as a result, is . And it's also just lazy and false in many ways. First up: Dr. Judy Mikovits. Ronson paints h...

With Matt Cameron! Trump was found guilty by a jury in the Southern District of New York for all 34 charges of falsifying business records in furtherance of a crime. The Right immediately lost their mind. We visit some of our usual suspects around the WTW-verse in this historic moment. And we'll be playing just a selection of this in the episode, but if you're crazy like us, you can watch Trump's...

We've finally attained our complete PiaT/CogDis crossover goal with our guest today, Noah Lugeons ! We all suffered through more than 2 hours of Tucker Carlson interviewing Aaron Rodgers so you don't have to. Yes it's insane, but it's also scary how not insane it feels, too. Debunking Right Wing Rhetoric is even more important when it's coming out of the mouths of seemingly "normal" people with pl...

New College, Part 4: A Business Plan and a Comedy Show In our final episode of the series, Lydia walks us through New College's search for a permanent President, and stumbles on a lot of questionable fiscal shenanigans that are happening with seemingly zero accountability or oversight. To close it out, Lydia subjects Thomas to torture via the comedy stylings of New College's Dean of Students. http...

New College, Part 3: The Florida GOP's Attack on Public Schools is Really, Really Bad We continue investigating the New College takeover by looking into the man who was appointed Interim President by the DeSantis Board of Trustees. Who is Richard Corcoran and how did he get this job? How many public school skeletons could this guy have in his closet? For more on the Florida Department of Education...

New College, Part 2: The Transition, or How New College of Florida Got a Baseball Team DeSantis didn't just take over a college, he fundamentally disrupted the lives of New College students, faculty, and staff. In this episode we talk about those impacted, and the DeSantis Cronies' push to prioritize student athletes. As promised in the episode, attached is the student thesis from one of the more...

New College, Part 1: The Takeover Last year, Governor Meatball DeSantis successfully launched a takeover at the New College of Florida by appointing like-minded folks to the Board of Trustees, who swiftly enacted several significant "culture war" changes. This is Part 1 of a series where we walk you through what happened at New College, who was involved, and the impact to the students, faculty, an...

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 w...

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! Wired Investigation into Registered Agents, Inc. Lawsuit RA Inc Named Fee...

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. Feel free to email us at   lydia@...

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 a...

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! Feel free to email us at   lydia@s...

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

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 semina...

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 norma...

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 actual...

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...
