| 0:00.0 | All right. So this should be an interesting one. I've been getting a lot of questions over the past |
| 0:06.3 | couple of years and I haven't addressed this topic yet. But I've had a lot of questions about my |
| 0:10.6 | opinion, my perspective on Jordan Peterson, why he's so popular, why people love him, why people |
| 0:16.3 | hate him, you know, why people can't stand him. And interestingly enough, I believe that the reason |
| 0:23.2 | for it is the same. And I think that it's very indicative of something that's happening within our |
| 0:30.1 | culture, within our societies at a much larger level. So I wanted to talk about this because it |
| 0:35.1 | ties into fatherhood. It ties into patriarchy. And I hesitate to talk |
| 0:39.8 | about and even use the P word because, I mean, I'm just tired of hearing it. Every single time I hear |
| 0:46.6 | on a podcast or on a show, someone even dropped that word. I'm like, oh, like my body just cringes. |

| 1:15.1 | You know, here's this Canadian who actually grew up not too far from where I grew up in |
| 1:20.8 | Northern Alberta. |
| 1:22.1 | And he's, you know, a professor and he's outspoken about, you know, certain topics and whatnot. |
| 1:28.3 | But he seems to attract a very specific type of opinion about who he is. People really are |
| 1:38.8 | sequestered and divided into, you know, love him, love his work, love his, love his ideas, love what he stands for, |
| 1:48.2 | or I can't stand him. And I, you know, I vehemently disagree with him in his perspective. |
| 1:53.7 | And so I wanted to dig into this because, again, I think that he represents and embodies something |
| 1:59.1 | that has been really lacking within our society. |
| 2:04.0 | And so just for a moment, I would invite you to put aside your perspective of Jordan Peterson's |
