    If I hadn’t known Jordan had been ill, I honestly wouldn’t have been able to tell. The final 30 minutes of this episode are peak JBP and sharp as hell. Welcome back Professor.
  • @mikhaila
    Hands down the best conversation I’ve seen my dad have on a podcast. Good job.
  • @geoded
    Once you've had Jordan Peterson on your podcast there's only one bigger guest - that's right, a return visit of Jordan Peterson
  • @TylinaVespart
    Can we just take a moment to notice how lovely Dr Peterson actually is? Yes, he’s an intelligent man and says a great many good things, but he’s also overall pleasant. Takes time to explain, genuinely seems happy to be there whenever he’s interviewing, and I’ve yet to see him be patronising. A joy.
  • @soundarya24
    “You do not know the depth of impact your work has had. “ I totally agree with Chris here. Well I am from India, stumbled on Dr. JBP through YouTube. His words have changed my life for better. When I hear him talk I see my emotions being articulated in a sophisticated way. It feels like a greater self of me talking to my current version trying to help me. Thanks JBP for what you are and what you do. You are a hero and my inspiration.

    What a bloody legend. This man gets so much bad press and it’s all bulshit. I hate identity politics but people say women don’t like him he’s a nazi etc and a conservative. None of these things are true I’m a white liberal painter still young and I love this man. He has changed my life for the better in so many ways. I am so happy he is back. Fantastic interview Jordan! Sending you love and wish you and your family well from Scotland!
  • @DCWoodWorking
    Anyone who demonizes this man shouldn't be taken seriously and you should be highly skeptical of their motives.

    There are a lot of strategies to make tongue-wetting profit that the average joes don't know. . Personally, the financial-market for me seems the only way forward with my long time horizon (accrued roughly $457k in gains since Mid 2021 ) but if you don’t have that fortune of time it’s a tough market out there almost nowhere feels safe!
  • @ryanceros9510
    That was really something, Chris--without gushing or being maudlin, at the end you distilled how so many of us feel when you told Dr. Peterson, "We chose YOU." And when you said that we'd have gladly shouldered some of his suffering if we could, I said "thank you" aloud! RIght on the money. I thought he might be overwhelmed given his still-vulnerable state, but he responded very well and you guys wrapped up a solid interview powerfully.
  • @Gimsys
    This talk was better than a Hollywood blockbuster. Absolutely legendary, humanity should treasure this guy (and others like him, I'm sure they exist). Whenever I fall into resentment I hear Dr. Peterson voice telling me "accept responsibility for the catastrophe of your life, and then, you can transcend it" and get back on track.
  • You could watch this conversation every day for a year, and learn something new every day.
  • Chris: “We don’t know the price we have to pay to be the people we admire.” Wise words. Everybody wants the payday, nobody wants the workweek
  • @jesse3105
    Best interview he's done since his return. All the feels. You brought the best out of him.
  • Watching JBP on binge mode since year now.. Never have enough. It is better than Netflix.
  • This weekend I've watched him being interviewed by Tim Dillon, Andrew Schultz, Akira the Don, Russell Brand and now Chris Williamson. Sure, there has been a lot repetition but God I can't seem to get enough of this man.
