I proved him wrong on both counts within a single post, noting that A) I had been with the thread within the first 23 minutes of the OP, B) Just Googling Jordan Peterson's name yielded four articles that are just as, if not more damning, before I even left the first page of results, and C) Cracked actually does have some legitimately thought-provoking articles (I linked to EIGHT in that post.)

Also, about the "randomly browsing Cracked," I realised I did not exactly address this issue. So, just search Keyword:"Cracked"  Username: "Rev. Rye." You'll find I actually do read Cracked quite a bit. Not exactly every day, but it shouldn't be too hard to imagine that I'd just stumble upon an article while browsing it.

Eh?

Why we talking about this?  I saw on Cracked front page a bunch of BS articles, and reckoned it wasn't a good source.  You immediately linked some good articles, and I immediately said I'd been wrong in my view about that publication.

When I'm wrong, I'm perfectly happy saying so.
Okay, I just did a "search thread" and found out that our debate about Cracked wasn't the only time you "bet a million dollars" this thread. I fucked up, and I take responsibility for not doing a proper search beforehand.
