On This Week's Feedback Friday:

Your fiancé's grandparents took in their troubled grandson after his abusive mother abandoned him. Now he's 32, violent, and just sent your partner's elderly grandfather to the hospital with fractured ribs. • They won't kick him out. 
How do you protect them when they won't protect themselves?You met someone wonderful during a deployment four years ago. • Now you're considering uprooting your high-schooler kids — including your daughter who's deeply invested in her gymnastics gym — to finally live together. Your mom has been your rock. 
Do you choose love or stability?Your junior employee failed out of training for your role and started bullying new trainees. • After you reported her, she retaliated by broadcasting your early pregnancy news and making cruel comments about your stepson's medical condition. Is this fireable? 
What are your rights when a coworker weaponizes your private medical information? [Thanks to HR professional Joanna Tate for helping us with this one!]Recommendation of the Week: JadeYoga Travel Yoga Mat • or 
JadeYoga Voyager Yoga MatYou're stuck in binary thinking — should you do A or should you do B? • George Saunders suggests there's often a third way. Instead of getting locked into either-or choices,

1218: Grandson is Feral and Puts In-Laws In Peril | Feedback Friday

Money and power are merging on the high seas. The New Yorker's Evan Osnos exposes how super yachts became the new seat of American oligarchy.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1217

What We Discuss with Evan Osnos:

Billionaire political donations increased 200x in 20 years ($25M to $3B in 2024), marking America's shift from democracy to oligarchy • — where economic and political power fuse.
Super yachts are floating power centers — not just status symbols but boardrooms, tax havens, and networking hubs • where billion-dollar deals happen beyond public scrutiny and regulation.
Each super yacht pollutes like 1,500 cars running continuously • , costs 10 percent of its purchase price annually to maintain, and creates toxic work environments for crew in legal gray zones.
The ultra-wealthy face insatiable desire • — where 50-meter boats become "embarrassing," half-billion-dollar yachts are "quite nice," and satisfaction remains perpetually out of reach.
History shows extreme inequality resolves through crisis — war, revolution, or pandemic. But we can prevent these outcomes by making systems less advantageous to the few and more inclusive to all. • Support politicians who limit campaign finance influence. Vote with your wallet. Build communities that value contribution over consumption. Small actions compound: 
we shape culture by what we celebrate and reject. • And much more...

1217: Evan Osnos | The Haves and Have-Yachts of American Oligarchy

Free speech defenders are losing ground as government pressure mounts. Legal expert Greg Lukianoff reveals why the Kimmel case should terrify everyone.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1216

What We Discuss with Greg Lukianoff:

The Trump administration used FCC licensing threats and merger approval leverage to force ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel • — a form of "jawboning" where government coerces private entities to censor speech the government itself cannot legally punish.
Historically, free speech has been the primary tool for minorities and marginalized groups. • Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Frederick Douglass, and Gandhi all relied on free speech to challenge the majority and the powerful.
Hate speech laws don't change minds — they drive people into echo chambers where they radicalize further. • When people can only discuss controversial views with those who already agree, extremism intensifies rather than diminishes.
Over one-third of college students believe violence can be acceptable in response to speech. • Two-thirds support shouting down speakers, representing mob censorship that undermines the marketplace of ideas and threatens intellectual discourse.
Practice intellectual courage. • When encountering disagreeable speech, engage rather than silence. Ask yourself: "Am I safer knowing less about what people think?" The answer is no — open dialogue reveals problems early, strengthens your arguments, and builds a healthier society.
 • And much more...

1216: Greg Lukianoff | Failing Arguments Against Free Speech

QAnon-style trafficking myths are hurting real victims and helping nobody. Nick Pell separates trafficking fact from fiction here on Skeptical Sunday.

Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1215

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

The math doesn't add up. • That viral "800,000 missing children" claim? Pure statistical sleight of hand. Most are runaways or parental custody disputes, not shadowy trafficking rings. The reality is that stranger abductions account for just one percent of kidnapping cases.
Forget the Hollywood playbook. • Real trafficking isn't a panel van at Walmart waiting for the perfect victim to whisk away — it's the slow burn of grooming. Predators pose as boyfriends, exploit trust, and use psychological manipulation over months.
Privilege blinds us to real victims. • That suburban soccer mom convinced she's a trafficking target? Statistically safer than she thinks. Actual victims tend to come from marginalized communities, LGBTQ+ youth, immigrants, and kids in foster care — people society already overlooks.
Moral panic creates real harm. • Trafficking hysteria spawned laws like SESTA/FOSTA that pushed sex work underground, making it more dangerous. When we chase fictional threats, we abandon real victims who need unsexy, long-term support — not rescue fantasies.
Real solutions work through boring, beautiful basics. • Want to actually help? Support organizations like Polaris Project that provide housing, mental health care, legal aid, and job training. One person at a time, one life rebuilt — that's how you dismantle trafficking networks for real.

On This Week's Feedback Friday:

Your boss made inappropriate sexual comments at a work event in front of colleagues. • You're wrestling with complex emotions — you didn't want his attention, but you liked feeling desired again after years of routine marriage. 
How do you handle the workplace situation while rekindling intimacy at home?A 10-year-old made death threats against your daughter in the class group chat and on social media. • The other child's parents told you to "play in traffic." The school principal suggested prayer and "good vibes" instead of action. 
How do you protect your child when those ostensibly in charge have apparently outsourced responsibility to the universe?You built a VFX career, moving from 2D to 3D work on blockbusters. Then strikes hit, the industry shrank, and AI started taking over. • With a baby coming, you need stability but fear obsolescence. 
How do you transition when your passion industry is collapsing around you?Recommendation of the Week: Withings BPM Connect Digital Blood Pressure Cuff & Heart Rate MonitorYou've been a longtime listener wondering about Jordan and Gabe's relationship with alcohol. • You're contemplating your own break from the bottle and wondering about their stance on the sauce, the giggle juice, the liquid social lubricant that flows through so many adult conversations.

1214: Boss' Flirtation Highlights Marital Frustration | Feedback Friday

Relationships are more transactional than we admit. Psychologist Orion Taraban explains what men and women actually want versus what they say! [Pt 2/2 — be sure to catch Pt 1/2 here!]

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1213

What We Discuss with Orion Taraban:

Dating apps heavily favor the top one to five percent of men • , leaving many others with few matches, creating distorted perceptions of choice and desirability.
Relationship power dynamics mirror economics • — the more power one partner holds, the more they shape outcomes and get their needs met.
Love and relationships differ • : love is self-sacrifice, while relationships are transactional exchanges of unequal but comparable value.
 • Social media distorts desires — women often pursue “doing it all” because that’s what they see others doing, even if the order of life choices blocks future goals.
Actionable takeaway: Build strong, resilient relationships by focusing on reality, not ideals • — plan strategies around what 
is • , not what “should be,” and invest consistently in exchange and growth.
 • And much more...

1213: Orion Taraban | Understanding Relationship Economics Part Two

Relationships are more transactional than we admit. Psychologist Orion Taraban explains what men and women actually want versus what they say! [Pt 1/2]

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1212

What We Discuss with Orion Taraban:

People often can't accurately describe what they actually want in relationships. • Women may say they want kindness and safety, but these qualities only matter from men they're already attracted to. The key insight: watch what people do, not what they say they want.
According to Orion Taraban, people are always in relationships with their perceived best available option. • This involves both emotional connection and practical value calculations. While this framing may feel uncomfortable, it helps explain why purely psychological dating advice often falls short.
Contrary to popular belief, there aren't different strategies for short-term versus long-term relationships in modern dating culture. • Since sex typically precedes commitment, the path to long-term relationships requires first succeeding at short-term attraction dynamics, then maintaining those behaviors over time.
Men tend to cheat while staying in relationships (often due to opportunity rather than dissatisfaction), while women are more likely to cheat as a way to transition to better relationships. • Women may also engage in "consecutive cheating" — ending one relationship and immediately starting another, which technically isn't infidelity but serves a similar function.
Focus on attraction first, everything else second. • The most practical takeaway is understanding that attraction must be established before other relationship qualities matter. Whether you're looking for casual dating or marriage, you need to first master the fundamentals of becoming attractive to your target demographic. This means being honest about what actually creates attraction rather than what you think should create it. 
Stay tuned for the second part of this two-part episode (airing later this week), where we'll dive deeper into specific strategies for building and maintaining this attraction in both short and long-term contexts! • And much more...

1212: Orion Taraban | Understanding Relationship Economics Part One

Former conspiracy believer turned skeptic Michael Regilio decodes why people fall for QAnon and flat Earth here on Skeptical Sunday!

Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by skeptic, comedian, and podcaster Michael Regilio!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1211

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

 • From medieval blood libel to modern QAnon, 
conspiracy theories follow the same template: blaming "others" for society's problems through fear and tribalism.Brain chemistry drives beliefs. • Higher dopamine levels and hyperactive pattern recognition make some people more susceptible to seeing conspiracies where none exist.
Conspiracy theories destroy families, enable harassment (like Sandy Hook parents), and inspire violence • — they're not harmless entertainment.
Social needs fuel conspiracies. • People believe because theories offer community, make them feel special/heroic, and provide simple answers to complex problems.
Critical thinking is the antidote. • Question sources, demand evidence, and remember — real truth doesn't need secret codes or special knowledge, just logic and humility.

1210: Can Justice Be Done When Broke and on the Run? | Feedback Friday

AI accelerates drug discovery while steroids turn teens into aggressive strangers. Dr. Michael Israetel explores our pharmaceutical crossroads here!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1209

What We Discuss with Michael Israetel:

GLP-1 drugs like Tirzepatide offer massive health benefits beyond weight loss • — reducing inflammation, improving brain health, and decreasing addiction behaviors, even for people already in good shape.
Steroids don't just amplify personality — they specifically amplify masculine traits like aggression and reduce empathy. • Starting young can permanently rewire your brain's emotional and social processing.
AI is about to revolutionize medicine by testing millions of drug candidates virtually • , creating treatments 10x more effective with 10x fewer side effects. We're entering the pharmaceutical iPhone moment.
The "only take drugs when sick" mindset worked in the 20th century, but is becoming dangerously outdated • — like refusing elevators because you prefer human operators.
When your diet plateaus, take a week-long break eating at maintenance. • Your stress hormones will drop, body water will flush out, and you'll often look leaner than before.
 • And much more...
