Guerrilla Social Work Podcast

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.  

Today, the boys are discussing a recent and local publication about the sex offender registry, the practical implications and usage of publicly available registries, and the research on the effectiveness and impact of registry policies.

Today we're discussing an investigation being conducted by the British Police over an alleged sexual assault of a 16-year-old girl in the Metaverse. We discuss the implications of immersive online interaction, potential for such behavior to manifest in the real world, and review some research that may support our understandings.

The boys sit down to respond to the recent cancellation of therapy by political commentator Matt Walsh. They share their opinions and insights on what Walsh got right and where he may be going wrong.

What is up, Guerrilla Social Workers! Sorry for our delay in posting, but we've been busy. That's no worry because this episode is fire! Your hosts, Jeff “Ginger Ninja” Moore and yours truly, Mace Warren, interviewed our guest Russell Pearson. Russell recently graduated from his masters of social work program after a long hard road back from 43 felonies, prison, and addiction. He's got a great story for everyone and I know you will enjoy it.

In today's episode, we're pulling back the curtains on our recent escapade at the ATSA Conference in Colorado. Buckle up, because we're diving deep into the riveting presentations we witnessed, highlighting the gems of research that left us intrigued and inspired.

We'll be reviewing the latest research on this topic, discussing the psychological aspects, and of course, providing our personal take on the matter. So, get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe even question some life choices as we explore the world of revenge porn through the lens of forensic psychotherapy.

Now, hold onto your thinking caps, because we've got a guest in the house. Amy Daeschel is the name, and let me tell ya, she's like a tornado of wisdom. This gal's been through the trenches, from being a former substance user and homeless individual to becoming a Certified Peer Support Specialist.

Introducing the star of our show: Role-play and Skills Training! It's like drama class for the criminally inclined, where they get to practice being law-abiding citizens. We call it "Criminal Improv," where we pretend we're in a real-life social situation, and our participants act out how they'd normally respond. Oh, and trust us, folks, it's not your typical improv show. Our criminals can give Shakespeare a run for his money with their elaborate performances!

Stay tuned for our next episode, where we'll dive into the world of "Criminal Karaoke" – because everyone deserves to sing their way to redemption!

Today we're diving headfirst into a topic that'll make you question everything you thought you knew. We're talking about the controversial documentary "Are All Men Pedophiles" by Jan-Willem Breure. This film takes us on a wild ride through the twisted maze of pedophilia hysteria. Strap in and buckle up! Now, we've got some burning questions to tackle. How did society arrive at this mind-boggling conclusion that all men are potential pedophiles? And what on earth are the political and social consequences of this madness? It's a real head-scratcher. Are men becoming the new victims of modern sexism, or is this surge in sexism somehow justified? We're about to break it down for you. Get ready for some heated discussions, explosive revelations, and a dash of our signature sarcastic humor. But remember, folks, we're here to examine the issues, not pass judgment. Let's keep it real. So join us as we dissect this documentary, share our insights, and maybe even poke a little fun at some absurdities along the way. So lock your doors, hide your kids, and let's dive into the controversial world of societal paranoia. Only on Guerrilla Social Work!

Today, the GSW Crew is presenting the latest and greatest news that affects the social work field. We talk a little nostalgia for childhood movies that just don't hold up. And Jeff finally gives me his long awaited, albeit underwhelming new years dare.   Aren't you tired of being a selfish hoarder of the joy and laughter you get from our show? Well, we have a solution for you! Give us a five-star rating and share the show with a friend. It's the perfect way to spread the love and let others know that you're not the only one with good taste. Plus, think of all the good karma you'll get from sharing our hilarious banter and witty commentary. So don't be a podcast hermit, share the love and give us that five-star rating. Your ears and your soul will thank you.

Today, the GSW Crew is discussing the Dark Triad. The Dark Triad is a set of three personality traits that are often associated with negative and destructive behaviors. These traits are narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. Narcissism refers to an excessive focus on oneself, including a sense of entitlement and a lack of empathy for others. Machiavellianism involves a willingness to manipulate and exploit others for personal gain, often through deceit and cunning. Psychopathy is characterized by a lack of remorse, empathy, and impulse control, often leading to impulsive and antisocial behavior. These traits can be found in varying degrees in individuals, and while they may provide certain advantages in certain contexts, they are generally associated with negative outcomes for both the individual and those around them.

Felicitations Guerrilla Social Workers! We're stoked to bring you another chitchat with your hosts Jeff “optic scump” Moore, and yours faithfully, Mace Warren. Jeff and I are both forensic psychotherapists that specialize in treating clients involved in the criminal justice system.  We love sharing our misguided musings with all of you, and we thank you so much for your ongoing listenership. Today, the GSW crew responds to a video made by Candace Owens from the Daily Wire titled, “Therapy is Ruining Western Civilization.” Candace shares her views on why she thinks therapy is causing people to overshare and become overly sensitive, and the boys give their take on the subject. If you like what you hear, offer to tie the five-star ratings shoes. When you kneel down, reach between their legs with your stronger arm and reach around your back from the same side with your weaker arm before then lifting the five-star rating up over your shoulder. From this position, fall forward to slam the five-star rating against the ground. And now on with the show.

Today, the GSW posse reviews a large-scale experiment on new year's resolutions. Despite the popularity of New Year's resolutions, current knowledge about them is limited. We investigated what resolutions people make when they are free to formulate them, whether different resolutions reach differing success rates, and whether it is possible to increase the likelihood of a resolution's success by administering information and exercises on effective goal setting. If you like what you hear, when the five-star rating button twists its ankle, offer your shoulder to help them walk. But before taking your first step, grab a waist lock and lift the five-star rating up while falling backward, causing them to land on their neck and shoulders. And now on with the show. Oscarsson M, Carlbring P, Andersson G, Rozental A. A large-scale experiment on New Year's resolutions: Approach-oriented goals are more successful than avoidance-oriented goals. PLoS One. 2020 Dec 9;15(12):e0234097. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0234097. PMID: 33296385; PMCID: PMC7725288.

Today, the GSW crew discusses the concept of catfishing and how it affects our clients. Apps and social media, it can be big business, with romance scams costing victims millions of dollars across the US every year. Current catfishing statistics project an even further upward curve over the coming years, and clients reentering society after incarceration trying to build a new social network should be vigilant of the dangers. If you like what you hear, offer to give the five-star rating a back rub. As soon as they relax sit on their back and place both their arms across your thighs. Then reach forward and grab their chin and pull.

Today, the GSW crew reviews their recent attendance to the Association for the Treatment and Prevention of Sexual Abuse. We talk about all the presentations we heard and give our personal takes on the conference as a whole. If you like what you hear, wait until the five-star rating button lays down for a nap, climb to the top rope and execute a 1 & ½ front flip and land on their chest.

Today, the GSW crew tries to tackle the topic of toxic masculinity. We discuss the idea that manhood and masculinity represents a fixed, inevitable, and natural state of being, or if masculinity is something that is malleable and made, not given. If you like what you hear, convince the five-star rating that using black charcoal when they brush will actually make their teeth shine whiter, but before they try it for the first time, replace their tooth charcoal with black paste industrial dye.

Greetings Guerrilla Social Workers! We're thrilled to bring you another chitchat with your hosts Jeff “Rust Lust” Moore, and yours faithfully, Mace Warren. Jeff and I are both forensic psychotherapists that specialize in treating clients involved in the criminal justice system.  We love sharing our misguided musings with all of you, and we thank you so much for your ongoing listenership. Today we bring you our last installment of the Untouchable Reaction Video series. When the most powerful lobbyist in Florida discovers that the nanny has sexually abused his daughter, he harnesses his extraordinary political power to pass the toughest sex offender laws in the nation. UNTOUCHABLE chronicles his crusade, and its impact on the lives of several of the 800,000 people forced to live under the kinds of laws he has championed. The film interweaves intimate portraits of men and women who have been branded sex offenders with the heartbreaking stories of those who have suffered sexual abuse. Directed and produced by David Fiege. No infringement intended.   If you like what you hear, pretend like you are going to play airplane with the five-star rating. When the five-star rating extends his arms to hold you, hold one of his forearms with both hands, position your legs so your knees are bent and their arm and elbow are between your legs, squeeze your legs towards their body and pull the arm towards you, and using the five-star ratings chest as a fulcrum, pull their wrist to your chest and apply upwards pressure from your hops, while slightly pulling the hand towards your chest.

Today we bring you another installment of our GSW news series, where Jeff and I each bring a provocative news article to the table to discuss and share our thoughts. If you like what you hear, ask the five-star rating to help you practice a new method for the Heimlich maneuver. But when he ducks his head forward wrap your arm around his neck, grab your choking arm with the other hand, push your hips forward, and pull up on the five-star rating's head as he nods off.

What's up Guerrilla Social Workers! We're stoked for another gabfest with your hosts Jeff “fanta pants” Moore, and yours faithfully, Mace Warren. Jeff and I are both forensic psychotherapists that specialize in the clinical treatment of folks involved in the criminal justice system.  We love sharing our misguided musings with all of you, and we thank you so much for your ongoing listenership. Today we record another installment of our Villains to Victory series with our former client Jack. Jeff and I loved catching up with Jack, and we know you will enjoy him as well. If you like what you hear, please be sure to trap the five-star rating's arm between your legs and pull back on his head until he taps out.

We're super sorry for the delay in posting. I guess that's just what happens on Summer break.  Either way, we're stoked to be back in studio. Today we talk about the recent school shooting at Uvalde Elementary, our legislator's response, and whether clinical professionals have the capacity to handle this as a mental health issue. If you like what you hear, please bake a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies for the five-star rating, but when you deliver them pretend that you actually baked them a batch of chocolate chip cookies instead.

The boys sit down today for our second reaction video for the documentary Untouchable. Untouchable documentary is a film by David Feige from Blue Lawn Productions, all rights reserved, panopticon productions, llc 2022, no infringement intended. I think this one turned out great and we look forward to your feedback.    If you like what you hear, wait for a hot day and hitch a ride in the five-star rating's car, but as you're walking away, fake like you left your water bottle in the car and ask to unlock the door. When they're not looking, pour milk under the carpet in the back seat. And now on with the show.

The boys sit down today to discuss the clinical skill of Emergency Planning. This skill is intended to support efforts for relapse prevention by teaching clients strategies to interrupt a crisis situation that could lead to potential high-risk situations. The purpose of this clinical skill is to prepare and equip clients that may find themselves in risky situations while in treatment with a select set of skills to manage those situations so they can achieve their goals. Excellent podcast for both therapists and clients.  

The boys sit down today to discuss the process of clarification and reunification for sex offenders. Reunification is the systematic restoration of a family who has been torn apart by incest or child sexual abuse. This process is completed for clients who have offended within their family as well as outside of the family.

Jeff and Mace sit down today with a return guest, the Canadian Crippler, the Yukon Yataghan, the Ontario Outlaw himself, Matt Barnes, host of the Social Work Me podcast! The Social Work Me podcast show is for social workers, counselors, psychotherapists and anyone in the mental health profession as well anyone looking for more information on improving their mental health or overall wellness. We really enjoyed our conversation with Matt and we hope you do too.

The boys sit down today and talk about the colloquial term “playing the game” as it pertains to treatment. While some practitioners discourage the use of such a term to describe something as important as clinical psychotherapy, the GSW crew looks at this as an opportunity to reinforce client buy-in to treatment. Specifically, we invite clients to think of treatment strategically and how playing the game correctly can improve their lives. It was a fun discussion and I really enjoyed it. We hope you do to!

The boys sit down today and do their inaugural reaction video to the documentary Untouchable. The film synopsis reads as follows: “When the most powerful lobbyist in Florida discovers that the nanny has sexually abused his daughter, he harnesses his extraordinary political power to pass the toughest sex offender laws in the nation. UNTOUCHABLE chronicles his crusade, and its impact on the lives of several of the 800,000 people forced to live under the kinds of laws he has championed. The film interweaves intimate portraits of men and women who have been branded sex offenders with the heartbreaking stories of those who have suffered sexual abuse. It is a film that pushes viewers toward an uncomfortable place, requiring them to walk in the shoes of those who have survived sexual abuse, but to still bear witness to the experiences of those we revile.” Written and produced by David Feige.  

The boys sit down today with Hilary Hislop. Hilary is a Certified Social Worker with six years of experience working in the social work field.

The boys sit down to discuss the YouGov America Article Rumble in the Jungle: Which Animals Would Win in a Fight? 1,224 US adults were asked to choose which of two animals they thought would win in a fight in a series of head to head match-ups. On each page they saw two animals with the prompt: “Which animal do you think would win in a fight?” Each respondent saw seven match-ups, and no animal featured more than once. Data was weighted to be nationally representative of all US Adults, 18+. The survey was conducted between April 12-13, 2021. They also link this with the Dunning-Kruger Effect. The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people wrongly overestimate their knowledge or ability in a specific area. This tends to occur because a lack of self-awareness prevents them from accurately assessing their own skills. http://www.utahsbesttherapy.com/ https://primepolygraph.com/
