*******************************************************************

On Twitter, mathematics Ph.D. (Cornell) Dr. Briggs is @famedcelebrity, and his website subtitle is “Statistician to the Stars”—both digs at our culture’s silly celeb worship. He co-authored an important book about the Covid scam titled The Price of Panic, and has a new one out, that does many things well, including explaining the difference between conservative and based; and scores of examples of fallacies and how to spot them.

A very enjoyable exchange with a natural raconteur, practicing Catholic, and man of hard science and logic.

👉Resources mentioned in this episode:

Everything You Believe Is Wrong by William M. Briggs

The Price of Panic: How the Tyranny of Experts Turned a Pandemic into a Catastrophe, by William Briggs, Douglas Axe, and Jay Richards.

#347: Comedy In a Cancel Culture—Tom Leopold

Christopher Guest (Waiting for Guffman, This is Spinal Tap, Best In Show, A Mighty Wind) said, “When it comes to comedy, Tom Leopold has an extra gene. You may not know it, but he has probably made you laugh.” Harry Shearer (The Simpsons, NPR, This Is Spinal Tap) called him “a semi-precious stone in the crown of comedy,” appellations Leopold treasures.

Indeed, he may well be one of the most prolific and successful comedy writers ever, having written for sitcoms in the US and the UK, material for Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, Jonathan Winters, Michael McKean, Chris Guest, Chevy Chase, et al.

Raised Jewish, the natural raconteur was baptized and received into the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil in 2011. The conservative-minded comedy writer and one-time actor has some fascinating insights into what we call the culture, especially important for the Covid-19 lockdown.

In this episode you will learn

Whether comedy is a skill you learn or must be born with
How his father’s storytelling tradition shaped young Tom’s imagination
What it’s like to meet, and write jokes for, your heroes
The time Vice President Mike Pence served him a coffee on Air Force Two enroute to Cleveland where Pence was set to give a talk written by Leopold
The meaning of “comedy is tragedy plus time” and “death is easy, comedy is hard”
How Jews and Catholics share a love of story

#349: From Kinsey to Porn to Trans—Dr. Ann Gillies

Dr. Ann Gillies, PhD, has been a lone voice for psychological health in a context of aggressive LGBTQ+ propaganda in her native Canada. She has been a close observer of the culture wars in the key battleground of sexuality, gender, and human flourishing. Collating research from the famed Dr. Judith Reisman (RIP) and based on her own clinical experience and training, she has a very important antidote to “the crazy,” titled, Closing the Floodgates: Setting the Record Straight about Gender and Sexuality.

She joined me to talk about the roots of the homosexualist movement, the ravages of porn, scary changes to Canadian law, pedophile grooming, and the way forward for Christians and other social conservatives.
