Welcome back to the Jordan B. Peterson podcast. Or if you're new here, welcome to season

2 episode 11. I'm Michaela Peterson, Dad's daughter, favorite child and collaborator,

just kidding. Today we're presenting a very entertaining podcast. Dad's conversation

kids and teenagers, experimenting with drugs, pot, conversion therapy, transgender children,

which is a touchy subject, shows early years and where he grew up and much more. I think

people will really like this episode. I'm excited about it anyway, although I just went

really enjoyed reading them. So hopefully you enjoy this episode I did. When we return,

comedy special. So I'm at the process now where I've actually put together a full new hour

of material since my Netflix special, which came out in October. So that's great for

me. That's always a relaxing moment because it's very difficult to put that hour together.

And so how do you go about doing that? A lot of writing, a lot of performing, a lot of reading,

a lot of going over notes, a lot of examining material, a lot of reviewing sets and trying to

find out what I like and what I don't like. It's a long and brutal process. It's the most fun,
