Me too. JP is closest thing I feel I had to a father in many ways. My mom who I love was married a few times but they didn't last long n I never respected herhusband. Looking back I do now just for putting up with her for any amount of time. She is terribly awful to get along with to this day. She lives with me n I still wanna strangle her daily but we manage. I still can't call a man sir... unless their grandpa age. My "father" lived in the same town as me but I never met him until I was 18... at a party I met my dearly departed coincidentally. We became drinking buddies of sorts and I could always tell it weighed on him. We don't talk anymore We have both moved but I never resented not having a father. I was in charge of raising my brother and took a strange pride in calling no one dad. However... I had a few freinds I would stay over with as a kid who had great families and I still miss those dinners and even working in hog houses and such. Now that I'm older I reflect on how my life could have been more now than then. One day afrer work listening to a podcast on history (jre Graham hancock) i fell asleep and when I woke up Jordan peterson's episode was playing. It immediately spoke to me and changed my life in an hour. My wife of 14 years had just passed and he couldn't have come at a better time. I hope someday I can tell him how much his message of hope and responsibility changed my life and how grateful I am. Even tho I don't my language skills would be able to adequately explain it. God bless Dr. Jordan Peterson

Not surprised that Jordan's dad is a 'salt-of-the-earth', hard-working Saskatchewan farmer. You can see those qualities reflected in Jordan himself! Thank you for sharing this with such sincere integrity.

Happy belated Father’s Day Dr. Peterson. You’ve been a strange surrogate father of mine since I was 17, I am now 22. Your lectures helped me through my fathers absence, the death of my childhood best friend, the death of my mother, finishing high school, subsequent financial difficulty, getting into my university, finding a home, the death of my father, the pandemic, heartbreak and in handling my disability as I am autistic. I bought and read through all three of your books, watched every personality and biblical lecture, listened to every podcast and every interview and I even got to see you at the O2 arena in Dublin with Sam Harris and Douglas Murray a couple years ago. I am indebted to you for imparting me with hours upon hours of lessons I had never been taught before which instilled more belief in myself than I had ever had in my adolescence. So much so that it’s hard for me to identify with the person i was back when I was 17. Sometimes I wonder had my parents lived would they believe the person that I am today, the person Dr Peterson helped me to be. And though I’ve much much more to work on, I’m so grateful for your work Dr. Peterson. So, I hope you don’t mind me saying; Happy Father’s Day.

It will always be one of the most special things I look back on in my life.

If Walter didn't know something he said "Well I don't know" He's a truthful senior who has a son on the side of truth and courageous in speaking the truth.

it is really something to see a man speak right through tears. not really holding it back and not really letting it all come out.. just accepting his emotional reaction while keeping attention on the conversation.

I learned so many things just being mostly silent and just eating, but absorbing every minute detail around me as kids do. I didn't even realize what my brain was doing as I started down turkey. It was building the structure of who I would be from the most basic but unshakable foundation laid by nature and the materials it provided, and including what scrap and raw material in the immediate vicinity it could scavenge.

Thank you for sharing your dad with us.

I began asking Dad questions about his life, his happiest times, most painful moments, his Army service, and so many things. I was in my early 40s, he was in his 70s. The gift came when my Dad actually started answering! Never before would he do so. He would begin many of his answers with an opening like, “Don’t tell your Mother because these things about WWII, and family struggles could upset her…”. I was so shocked he was actually going to answer some very hard questions and realized that I wasn’t prepared. I asked him if he would mind if I grabbed a pen and paper so I could take notes to remember his answers. I can still see the surprise in his eyes at that question…he was so shocked that I felt his answers would be so important to actually write them down. Such a humble man, and yet he was, and still remains, larger than life in my mind and heart. They were married for 59 years and remained our protectors, our cheerleaders, our encouragers their entire time on this earth as parents. I see that in Dr. Peterson’s parents. I thank God every day for the parents he chose to place me with. Thank you for this interview. Such a blessing.

Talking to your elders is such a priceless treasure.

This is so heartwarming. I lost my dad before I got the chance to have this type of conversation with him. This was lovely.

The fact Jordan can display humbling emotion the way he does? Is priceless. Takes my respect for him to a whole new level. You can clearly see he had a good father to bring him up. His support helped Jordan grow to his full potential. Shows how important fathers are in the household. Grateful he did this video. Takes a lot of guts to share.

One of my greatest regrets is that I didn't ask my Dad more questions about his life, especially what happened to him after he returned from WWII (the breakup of his first marriage, working at Harry Diamond where he made many lifelong friends, meeting my Mom and starting his own business). Bless you, Dr. Peterson, for sharing this important talk with your Dad.

THIS INTERVIEW IS SO COMPLETELY ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS AND IT GIVES CREDENCE TO EVERYTHING STEPHEN JENKINSON DISCUSSES ABOUT OUR MODERN POVERTY .. being without influence of " authentic" elders . S.J. is also Canadian . I would so love to see the two of you in a podcast. You are SO opposite end of many spectrums .... yet you are BOTH so perfectly true to your own conscience and both GIVERS .

This conversation really warmed my heart ❤ My father is 94 and I sat down with him when he was 90 and recorded a conversation with him asking him about his life and childhood. It’s my most valued treasure. I wish more young people had the patience and presence to talk to older people. They have so much to impart, even if just how they viewed the world. Also, Jordan was a brilliant interviewer in this episode. He was patient and curious and asked insightful questions that elicited genuine and interesting answers. I wish he were this way with all his guests. Giving folks the space and time to respond yields real nuggets of gold 😊 A delightful conversation!

Dr Peterson this interview with your father is priceless !!! I luv the family unit and seeing you as the son talking to your father and you’re both truthful with one another. I didn’t have a happy childhood growing up on the farm. We were very poor financially, not being nurtured, hungry, cold in the winter, not trained in socializing because we were never taken anywhere. So watching you two laugh and remember is just priceless !! You do a wonderful job interviewing too. I have a great life today.

Damn, Jordan, I got teared up. I never had a good relationship with my old man, I have only managed to stop hating him. It's great to see you guys having it, what a lovely family. I'm gonna try my best to build it with my son. Best wishes to everything you do and to everyone around you.

Sometimes you can forgive but it’s pretty hard to forget. My father considered himself a great father but he beat and abused all of his children. His temper was something we all watched for in fear and my mother made excuses for him. I have spent much time with him, traveled by motorcycle with him and gone target shooting with him on a regular basis and I have made peace with my past. I cannot say I love him but have made peace with him and can speak to him. Now in his 80’s he looks back and regales us with stories of the father he never was. It’s hard but I don’t want to spend time hating anyone. I find that anger diminishes me. And it will never change him. All I can do now is spend time with him and be who I have become…which is in part because of him.

My Dad was born in 1934. And still here! And still has all his faculties. Theres nothing better than reflecting on their past. Loved this Jordan ❤

I love how he recounts his life story and important relationships in a very matter-of-factly way, but once asked about first meeting his wife he gives a small chuckle and drifts off in thought for a second. Some people tend to keep their cards close to their chests when it comes to personal stuff, and then a small reaction like this speaks volumes. Probably my favourite part of the talk.

What a blessing to hear Jordan interviewing his father. If every man in the world had Jordan’s heart and intellect we would all be living in much more kind and loving world.

What an absolute treasure Papa Walter Peterson is, what a darling man's man! I love how he skirts the answers he doesn't wish to answer with the "I don't know". Interesting how these men and my father, knew immediately who they were going to marry. My Dad said he was at the local county fair and saw my mom on the Ferris wheel and when he saw her, he knew she was the gal he was going to marry. The baby of the family is ALWAYS SPOILED! I come from a family of 13 children, 10 girls and 3 boys. So, the girls worked like the boys with little or no affection.

As a Minnesotan and having traveled to Norway, I love the talk of heritage and family!

This was almost exactly four years after my mother died from pancreatic cancer (alcoholism) on Thanksgiving 2016. It's hard when both your parents are dead by the time you're in your 20's, but they were great people and I hold their legacy above all else. Don't ever get mad at what's missing, celebrate what was there and what still is.

Jordan breaking when they reflected on all the attention his dad gave him when he was a kid, and how he would put his arm around him while reading him books... Jordan knew the importance this has been to his own success, and he has the empathy to know so many others missed out. So bittersweet. Beautiful family.

Jordan, his dad and his daughter are a lot alike. Thoughtful and considered with their responses to questions. A nice family with a lot of wisdom.

These reminds me of when I try to get info from my own parents. They would always find it hard to articulate and describe the past, and you really needed to be patient and stubborn to try fish out some details.

As a boy from Saskatchewan who grew into a man, I can tell you that I “recognize” Walter. The world would be a much better place with more Walter’s and Jordan’s. This is the video I wish I made with my dad! Thank you 🙏 for sharing!

Boom! Truth bomb!

You are both so lovable. I also grew up on a farm in Red Rock, Ontario. The farmhouse was built in the 1930s and our family bought the 145 acre farm after escaping from Hungary in 1956. We raised animals and had a huge garden. We grew most of our food for our family of 6. The four children helped with all the chores. We didn't have a car and walked or cycled to town . The winters were extremely cold. I truly appreciate having grown up with organic food. God bless you both and your loved ones 💗

I just listened to about 50 minutes of this episode on my drive home from work. It was the most touching experience. The drive seemed to be about 10 minutes. I lost my father 14 years ago when he was 69. What a treasure for you to share this with me. It touched my heart deeply. Thank you.

Mr Peterson, congratulations on raising such an amazing human being. Your son, Dr. Jordan Peterson has saved more people than any other person I know ❤

I truly enjoyed this... I got choked up at the end when you talked about how if you're careful you can have the best relationships you've ever had in your life with your kids. While I never got to experience that, I did however have the greatest relationship of my life with my late Mother. She was my best friend, my confidant, and the person I trusted most in this world. I loved her more than the air I breathe... I will continue to love her til the day I join her on the other side. She really was the kindest, most wonderful person I ever had the privilege of knowing and I was lucky that I got to have her as my Mom. I miss her terribly...

I feel the same way about my late mother - she was truly a wonderful person ❤️. Mom died 4 years ago and everything changed. I was 34 and angry that I lost her in my 30s. Bitterness began to consume me and still does, at times. I’ve realized that for many of us, no one will ever love us in the way our mothers do. When you lose that relationship, it can feel as though no one else around cares about you the same way she did. Sounds selfish but I miss that. You and I were fortunate enough to have that level of love in our lives, even if it didn’t last as long as we’d hoped. When my thoughts go to dark places and I find myself replaying the last awful months of her life (cancer), I remind myself of how lucky I am to have had my mother and as painful as some of those memories are, I realize that I’m the lucky one 🥹❤️

Geez this made me emotional. You are so gentle with your Dad Jordan. It’s so cute when he calls you “Jord”.

Im 65, and I can relate to this deeply moving loving conversation. I was very close to my grandparents. I heard the family stories of the settlements in the northern states. You go back just a few generations, and the life west of the Mississippi in the Northern Territories didn't have a clear boundary between Canada and the US. The Dakotas became states when my great grandfather was 10 years old. My family was already in the US long before Jordans great granparents came from Norway. Families immigrated to where others had already settled. I was just talking with my son about the same thing JP spoke of in this video; of how attached we are to the ground/ territory where we were born and raised. It's very viseral. My grandmothers grandmother wrote a letter saying they were one of 11 white families west of the Mississippi in the Northern Territories. Im sure with so few people in the area of where the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana were created that everyone knew of the incoming immigrants. The language would have been a barrier. But everyone understood how harsh the land was. Too this day I long for the open spaces. It is conceivable that my ancestors crossed paths with the immigrants from Norway. Mine were primarily Scottish, decendants of Norwegians.
