Topic: Archetypes

Spotify terminated its $25 million deal with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after only 12 episodes of the "Archetypes" podcast. The hosts analyze this as a failure of the "Hollywood model" in podcasting, noting that Spotify is moving away from expensive celebrity exclusives.

Jordan Peterson responds to being featured as a "villain" on Meghan Markle's "Archetypes" podcast. He criticizes Markle's vocal delivery, comparing it to Kamala Harris, and describes it as "faux compassionate." Peterson defends his previous clinical claims regarding the difficulty of managing female antisocial behavior, which he says often involves "reputation savaging."

The hosts analyze the effectiveness of Hollywood celebrities like Robert De Niro and Rob Reiner in political activism. They observe the dynamic between Rob Reiner and his wife, describing him as a "beaten man" dominated by her strong-willed personality. The segment concludes with a critique of Michelle Reiner's claims about Russian bots and her misunderstanding of the difference between a republic and a democracy.
