Full Episode Description:

In this installment of Derailments, Minutiae, and Tirades we talk about Joe Rogan's vast influence in the podcast space. We talk about the late Christopher Hitchens. We critique Jordan Peterson for his ideas and the means he uses to promote them, as well as for some of his unsettling personality characteristics. In particular we reference his friend and colleague Dr. Bernard Schiff's takedown of Peterson, published in The Star:

We also lament that Sam Harris doesn't seem to have the intellectual integrity to kick Peterson to the curb.
