0:00.0 | Good afternoon, Michael Malice here, let that be your welcome for the next hour. |
0:24.3 | We have with us a guest who has literally been years in the making, Dr. Jeffrey Miller. |
0:29.2 | We've been talking about this ever since I think I was at compound trying to get you in studio that hadn't happened. |
0:35.8 | However, last week I was at Tucker Maxx's ranch who used to work with and I'm like, wait a minute, let me hit him up. |

1:34.2 | What is your perspective on the bruhaha about the insistence of Jill Biden being referred to as Dr. Biden? |
1:42.8 | It's super cringe. |
1:44.1 | I mean, I don't know any academics who have self-respect and a successful academic career |
1:51.2 | and actually do research and teaching who insist on being called Dr. by ordinary civilians |
1:57.8 | anywhere outside the academic context, even within my psychology department. |
2:06.5 | You kind of forgive newly minted PhDs, if they're a postdoc and they just got their PhD like a year |
