Summary

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with playwright Andrew Doyle and comedy writer Graham Linehan. They discuss their near-cancellations, the woke epidemic which has made comedy a criminal offense in the United Kingdom, the broader decay of the cultural landscape across Europe, why progressive ideals ruin honest works of creativity, and the totalitarian hellscape awaiting the Brits should they not change course.

So a couple of announcements first.

0:17.2

I'm on tour again.

0:18.4

And so if you go to Jordan B. Peterson.com, you can find out cities and dates,

0:22.8

and that starts in December and runs through April, so check that out if you're inclined.

The tour deals with the issues that I raised in my new book, which came out on November 19th.

0:33.1

It's called We Who Wessel with God.

0:35.1

And in that book, I take apart a sequence of Old Testament stories and explain, at least as far as I'm concerned, at least part of what they mean.

0:45.6

And I try to do that in a way that's comprehensible and as profound as I could make it, but also very practically applicable.

0:56.4

And so that's a good combination of high-level abstraction and immediate practical applicability. You need to know these stories,

1:01.3

because they're the stories that are fundamentally about you and about everybody that you know

1:05.0

and about how society is structured and our relationship with nature and the divine. So,

in touch for a number of years now. Andrew's a comedian in the UK, the infamous creator of Titania

1:25.8

McGrath, who was one of the most effective characters ever devised to satirize the woke left.

1:30.8

And Andrew has been out that for a very long time.

1:33.1

So we spent a fair bit of time discussing what he's up to as an immigrant to Phoenix.

1:39.2

And along with Andrew, I spoke with Graham Lennahan, who is joining Andrew in the establishment of a new

1:45.6

entertainment enterprise in Phoenix with Rob Schneider and some other people. Their hope is that

1:51.1

they can actually do some things that would be funny, and that would be a lovely thing to see since

1:56.2

humor is in short supply in the woke totalitarian world that we inhabit now, although maybe the comedians,

2:02.1

the true comedians, like Joe Rogan, will in fact have their last laugh. So we talked about

Graham's life in a fair detail at the beginning of the podcast because he went from riches to rags,
