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.

This week, we’re heading to the Lone Star State for a story that puts the “fun” in “funeral” and the “what the actual hell” in “criminal justice.” A Texas embalmer allegedly took anatomical revenge on a dead sex offender—and let’s just say, the body wasn’t the only thing getting stiff that day. It’s a tale of postmortem payback, questionable ethics, and the kind of crime scene that makes even seasoned detectives say, “You know what? I’m good.” Grab your gloves—we’re going elbow-deep into this one.

Looking for love? Maybe look somewhere else. This week, we’re exposing the states where online dating is less about finding "the one" and more about surviving the night. From catfishing catastrophes to full-blown crime scenes, we break down where your next swipe could land you—in love, in therapy, or in witness protection.

In this week's episode, we're diving headfirst into the tangled web of ethics, privacy, and professional boundaries—where the stakes are high, and one slip can unravel a whole treatment plan. We're exploring the delicate dance of maintaining informed consent and confidentiality when working with adults and juveniles who've committed a sexual offense. It's a world where secrets, trust, and legal landmines collide—and navigating it requires more precision than defusing a bomb with a blindfold on. Buckle up, because this one's equal parts nerve-wracking and enlightening.

In this week's episode we plunge into the wild, murky waters of unconventional second chances. We're unpacking the twisted saga of spouses reuniting with sex offender inmates who’ve just stepped back into the real world. Buckle up—this ride is as jaw-droppingly absurd as it is thought-provoking!  

In this week's episode of The Guerrilla Social Work Podcast, your favorite irreverent duo, Jeff Moore and Mace Warren, dive headfirst into the legislative deep end. We're talking about Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna's latest triple threat of bills aimed at giving child sexual predators the ultimate timeout—permanently. 

Join Jeff “Vermillion Viper” Moore and Mace Warren as they recap their ATSA conference presentation, revisit a local registry story, and weigh in on a surprising twist in the P-Diddy case.

This episode explores the terrifying story of Ted Bundy, the charming yet monstrous serial killer who murdered at least 30 young women in the 1970s. We cover his manipulative methods, his daring prison escapes, and his most shocking crimes, including the brutal 1978 Chi Omega murders. Bundy's eventual capture, conviction, and execution in 1989 are examined, shedding light on the mind of one of America's most infamous killers.

On today’s episode, Jeff and I react to an interview by Chis Williams on the Modern Wisdom channel with Abigail Shrier. Abigail Shrier is a journalist, a writer for The Wall Street Journal, and an author. In this episode they discuss therapy, culture, and Gen-Z, and since Jeff and I weren’t invited, we decided to offer our own perspectives.

This episode is a follow-up from our previous Dark Triad episode where we discuss strategies clinicians can use to improve their work with these clients.

This episode focuses on Success Planning. Gone are the days where therapists focus exclusively on relapse prevention. We discuss the ingredients for the recipe to both manage risk and promote the successful reintegration of our clients.
