Jack & The Gaad Father, Epic!

[@CHGLongStone]

Love seeing this crossover between Tier 1 and contemporary psychology 🤝 need more of these conversations explaining the evolutionary roots of the warrior tradition.

[@MattAD-ww7zy]

I read the "Parasitic Mind" after watching this gentleman on JRE. Loved the content and loved this podcast.

[@rostamr4096]

Love your podcasts, Jack Carr.

[@caroljasmine6433]

Excellent interview; (I hadn't heard your podcast before); and I highly recommend 'The Parasitic Mind'. 👍

[@whiterabit09]

Excellent podcast

[@r1pbuck]

I wanna be first here! A fascinating talk...

[@yoji58]

Kinda disappointing that this has only 210 upvotes. Maybe one of your most important conversations. Gad Saad might be the smartest person we're dealing with today.

There used to be time such as Gary Pennington would call the Whitehouse and pull up pictures of the house we was in at that very moment.

[@carolsherwood6983]

So very interesting! Just as an aside, if they want to make his book a movie, Judd Hirsch would be a good one for the part! :) 😉

Consider the water there is what waters we need to be in search of... Let's get to where it is at and prevent what we are able and capable of.. who is willing!!!!!!!!!!

Return stolen profits...

[@geoplaten337]

Two of my favorite thinkers! What a joy to listen to both.

[@toniclark6330]

I remember still to today.. the school long gone now township elementary.. had NASA ice cream once.. was the best I ever had in life. I want that again! I don't remember much else tho other than that.

[@loosecannon6852]

I had seen Gad on Gutfeld and thought; now there's a smart guy. I listened to this podcast on iTunes and nearly cried in relief that there is at least one very intelligent, practical scientist left in the world. First rate interview. I'd have listened to 3 hours.

[@robg8433]

Parasitic... you have no idea how real that is...

[@terrythoma6658]

wow

[@ChipSpencer123]

Must hear. ❤
