Guerrilla Social Work Podcast

Tonight, we're unleashing Outcome Oriented (OO)—the black-ops tactic for infiltrating your client's antisocial chaos by mirroring their warped worldview with Theory of Mind (ToM), snagging permission for feedback, and hijacking their perspective to steer toward prosocial wins without ego implosion. Decode madness, weaponize trust, and sabotage failure: therapy's ultimate reroute from slammer-bound to success.

Tonight, we’re diving into every clinician’s guilty secret: countertransference—that cocktail of disgust, anger, or eye-rolls that show up when your client’s Dark Triad vibes (psychopathy, narcissism, Machiavellian scheming) hit a little too close to home. Instead of pretending we’re made of stone, we’ll show you how to spot those reactions, keep them from wrecking your credibility, and flip the moment into a process-driven confrontation that actually sticks. It’s therapy judo: using your own emotional reactions as leverage instead of letting them choke you out.

In this sequel to our “Man vs. Beast” episode, we answer the internet’s burning question: Could 100 unarmed men defeat a silverback gorilla? Turns out—yeah, they actually could. And that revelation cracks open a deeper psychological truth. Jeff and Mace break down the clash between Dunning–Kruger delusion and Impostor Syndrome paralysis—why the least capable people overestimate themselves, while high performers secretly feel like frauds. It’s a full-force takedown of self-perception, backed by real research, wild survey data, and at least one fake commercial you’ll wish was real. If you laughed, learned, or questioned your own grip on reality, smash that five-star rating and share this episode with the most overconfident or self-doubting person you know.

Tonight we’re rewinding the VHS of pop culture to ask one simple question: Whatever happened to all the boobs? In the 1980s and early ’90s, R-rated flicks were basically a wet-T-shirt contest with a plot: think Porky’s meets Friday the 13th with bonus saxophone music. Fast-forward to the 2000s and suddenly the MPAA slaps you with an NC-17 if a naked ankle lingers too long—but show a dude getting pencil-stabbed in the eyeball and you’re coasting into PG-13 territory. We’ll break down: Why the ratings board will karate-kick a nipple off the screen but high-five a headshot. How global markets said “no thanks” to nudity but “yes please” to neck snapping. The rise of prestige TV—where dragons, teen angst, and full-frontal somehow coexist. Whether the pendulum could swing back, or if Hollywood is permanently stuck in “From Breasts to Blood” mode. All of it sprinkled with real research (shout-out to Brown & Childers, Thompson & Yokota, Ward, and the rest of the citation squad) so you can cite something besides your uncle’s Blockbuster memories.  

This week, we’re diving into a topic that lights up headlines and online comment sections like a Molotov cocktail at a PTA meeting: the female teacher–male student “affair.” You know the story—attractive thirty-something educator, underaged male student, and a society that somehow treats it like a subplot in a teen comedy instead of a felony. But we’re not just here for the tabloid trash—we’re also unpacking some real data. We reviewed a research article exploring how gender affects public perceptions of culpability and victimhood in student-teacher sexual relationships.
