The Jordan Harbinger Show

Clean air is free, so we ignore it. Air quality expert Mike Feldstein reveals why the thing we breathe most is the health pillar we optimize least.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1246

What We Discuss with Mike Feldstein:

L.A. wildfires created unprecedented contamination that lingered for weeks. • 15,000+ homes and cars (including thousands of lithium batteries) burned, releasing toxic chemicals that kept fluctuating in the air six weeks later, with rain spreading toxins into soil and water rather than washing them away.
Mold industry fear-mongering has created unnecessary panic. • Many inspectors and naturopaths fuel anxiety about air quality, leading to expensive home remediation that may not be needed, forming a self-reinforcing ecosystem of concern.
CO2 and oxygen levels in your home directly impact focus, mood, and performance. • Poor ventilation affects everything from kids' classroom behavior to your sleep quality, yet we optimize diets and workouts while ignoring what we breathe 20,000+ times daily.
We ignore air quality because it's free and abundant. • Unlike food or water that require purchase and have immediate taste feedback, air seems invisible and consequence-free, making it the most overlooked pillar of health despite its constant impact.
Improving air quality requires minimal daily effort for maximum health impact. • Unlike meditation, journaling, or gym routines, clean air doesn't demand willpower every day, making it one of the most accessible ways to boost cognition, sleep, and recovery.
 • And much more...

1246: Mike Feldstein | How Bad Air Hijacks Your Brain and Body

Jessica Wynn uncovers Black Friday's dark secrets — fake discounts, cheaper products, and manufactured urgency — on this week's 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 Jessica Wynn!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1245

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

Black Friday "deals" are often illusions • . Many retailers quietly raise prices weeks before, then discount back to regular prices, creating fake savings that trigger dopamine responses rather than actual financial benefits.
Tiered manufacturing means bargains are literally inferior products. • Companies create cheaper versions of items specifically for Black Friday sales, using plastic instead of metal parts and downgraded components you won't notice until they fail.
The shopping frenzy is engineered chaos. • Retailers deliberately create urgency and scarcity to exploit loss aversion, where the pain of missing a discount feels greater than the pleasure of getting the item itself.
Scammers weaponize Black Friday urgency. • Phishing sites, fake URLs, and fraudulent sellers exploit the fast-paced nature of Black Friday sales to steal personal information and payment details from rushed shoppers.
You can outsmart the system by planning ahead. • Create a wishlist of genuinely needed items before sales begin, compare model numbers, check price histories with tools like CamelCamelCamel, and only buy what you already planned to purchase.

1244: Connection Crisis Corners Calculating Courtesan | Feedback Friday

Ex-FBI sniper Christopher Whitcomb survived warlords, black ops, and helicopter crashes. He's here to explain how calculating risk kept him alive. [Pt. 2/2]

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1243

What We Discuss with Christopher Whitcomb:

Guantanamo Bay exposed the systematic breakdown between official policy and reality. • Christopher Whitcomb witnessed 13-year-olds detained 12,000 miles from home while interrogators chanted "Fair, firm and impartial" over prisoners' screams. The same general later oversaw Abu Ghraib's abuses.
East Timor combined apocalyptic violence with staggering natural wealth. • Indonesia massacred up to 300,000 people during the island's secession, yet oil bubbled from the ground and natural gas ignited hillsides, creating a Wild West economy that attracted contractors seeking manageable chaos.
Intelligence work often pays in ways that complicate normal life. • Christopher earned contracting money through intelligence agencies that was "hard to spend sometimes," revealing the strange economics of covert operations.
Elite operators face profound psychological costs. • Christopher's friend warned him to "stop trying to get 14-year-old guys to kill you because you have some death fantasy," highlighting how repeated high-stakes missions create patterns of self-destructive behavior that operators must eventually confront.
Recognition of dysfunction is the first step toward meaningful change. • By acknowledging his own "insanity" and identity crisis, Christopher demonstrates that even those in extreme professions can develop self-awareness and begin questioning the systems they served.

1243: Christopher Whitcomb | A Life Among Spies Part Two

Ex-FBI sniper Christopher Whitcomb survived warlords, black ops, and helicopter crashes. He's here to explain how calculating risk kept him alive. [Pt. 1/2]

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1242

What We Discuss with Christopher Whitcomb:

Risk calculation becomes second nature in high-stakes environments. • Christopher Whitcomb describes constant mental math in life-threatening situations, assessing odds, escape routes, and survival probabilities while meeting warlords or navigating hostile territories.
The psychological toll of extreme operations is cumulative and often invisible. • Years of black ops, moral ambiguity, and life-threatening missions create layers of trauma that don't announce themselves until something breaks, making the "finding himself again" journey essential.
Helicopters are surprisingly resilient war machines. • Contrary to Hollywood's explosive fantasies, Vietnam proved these birds can take serious damage and stay airborne. When power does fail, auto-rotation uses blade inertia to control descent, turning disaster into survivable physics.
Adrenaline addiction isn't about having too much adrenaline. • Christopher Whitcomb explains he wasn't addicted because he didn't have it; his body adapted to extreme situations by no longer producing the chemical response most people experience, revealing how repeated exposure rewires our biology.
Understanding the physics of consequence helps you push boundaries without crossing them. • Whether rock climbing, tactical operations, or any high-risk endeavor, calculating limits lets you explore your edge safely. 
For further insights from Christopher Whitcomb, stay tuned for Part Two later this week! • And much more...

1242: Christopher Whitcomb | A Life Among Spies Part One

From horse tranquilizer to mental health treatment — what's the real story about ketamine? Nick Pell breaks it down 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/1241

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

Ketamine therapy shows promise for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and chronic pain • , but it's serious medicine requiring proper medical supervision, not a recreational escape or wellness trend.
Clinical ketamine treatment involves IV administration with precise dosing, vital monitoring, and trained medical attendants • — drastically different from recreational use that can cause severe bladder damage and other complications.
The rise of telehealth ketamine clinics and mail-order treatments represents a concerning trend • — proper vetting requires full psych evaluations, bloodwork, and screening by legitimate medical professionals, not vague promises.
Recreational ketamine use carries significant addiction potential and health risks • , particularly bladder damage from chronic high doses — clinical settings minimize these dangers through controlled administration.
If you're considering ketamine therapy, start with a therapist and real medical doctor. • Look for evidence-based treatment with proper intake procedures, not spa-like "optimization centers" making grandiose claims.

1241: Ketamine | Skeptical Sunday

You married her even after her father, her ex, and your friends warned you not to. Now she's threatening your life. Welcome to Feedback Friday!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1240

And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week!

Now let's dive in!

On This Week's Feedback Friday:

You fell hard for a woman with two kids, ignored warnings from her ex-husband and her own father, proposed anyway, and watched as disturbing behaviors escalated into actual death threats. • Now you're stuck with a house you can't afford and guilt about abandoning her children. What should you do next?
Your husband became a teacher to follow his passion for education, but now he's being physically assaulted by a student in his classroom — and the charter school administration is doing absolutely nothing to protect him. • He's documenting everything, but should he sue, report to authorities, or just get out?
Your late-70s parents refuse to sell their paid-off condo despite stairs they can barely climb and laundry facilities five minutes away. • They cite property taxes and "hassle" as excuses while you watch them age in an increasingly dangerous environment. How do you convince them to move before it's too late?
Recommendation of the Week: Anker Nano 3-in-1 Portable Charger/10,000mAh Power BankYou're 14 and caught COVID for the first time, but months later you're still exhausted — barely surviving high school while your perfectionism screams at you to keep achieving. • Summer brought relief, but now school's back and so is the fatigue. Can you ever feel normal again, or is something deeper going on?

1240: Warned Not to Wed Wife, You Fear for Your Life | Feedback Friday

Reality might be rendered, not real. The Simulation Hypothesis author Rizwan Virk explains this wild idea and why even physicists take it seriously.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1239

What We Discuss with Rizwan Virk:

The simulation hypothesis suggests our physical reality is actually a computer-generated virtual world like The Matrix • , but potentially without any "real" versions of ourselves existing elsewhere outside the simulation.
Some fundamental limits in physics — like the speed of light and quantum indeterminacy — could be computational features rather than bugs • , suggesting the universe operates more like a sophisticated program with rendering constraints than pure physics.
If we can build realistic simulations ourselves, the odds we're already in one increase dramatically to 99% • — because any civilization older than ours would likely have already created countless nested simulations.
We're approximately 70% of the way to building Matrix-level simulations ourselves • , with AI advancing faster than expected and brain-computer interfaces developing rapidly — potentially achieving this within 50-100 years rather than millennia.
Whether or not we're in a simulation, the important question is how we play within it • — curiosity, humility, and treating each other well matter regardless of whether reality is "real" or rendered, making the ethical implications more significant than the metaphysical ones.
 • And much more...

1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

The American Revolution isn't over — it just changed uniforms. Documentary legend Ken Burns explains why we're still debugging an experiment from 1776.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1238

What We Discuss with Ken Burns:

America's origin was born from division, not unity. • Ken Burns argues the US was born from violence and division, not unity. The Revolutionary War was a brutal civil war with brother fighting brother, not a clean myth of freedom and fireworks.
The Revolution is an ongoing experiment. • Ken sees the Revolution as the start of a political experiment still being debugged 250 years later. It's not a finished story but a continuous process of living up to founding ideals.
Contradictions compose the country's core. • The Revolution's hypocrisy is staggering: freedom built on slavery, liberty denied to women and Native peoples, idealism mixed with self-interest. These contradictions remain eerily familiar today.
Good storytelling transcends politics. • Ken found that compelling narratives neutralize binary thinking. His Vietnam documentary avoided expected backlash because a good story makes people say "I didn't know that" rather than taking sides.
History is an active conversation. • History isn't fixed answers, but an ongoing dialogue with the past. By listening closely, we can ask ourselves if we're living up to the promises made — and continue writing that unfinished story.
 • And much more...

Humans have managed to pollute darkness itself. Jessica Wynn explains how artificial light erases stars and harms wildlife and health 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 Jessica Wynn!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1237

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

Light pollution is excessive artificial light that goes where it's not needed — and it's spreading fast. • The night sky is brightening 7-10% every year, and 80% of Americans can no longer see the Milky Way from where they live.
About 30% of outdoor artificial light spills wastefully into the sky instead of illuminating the ground. • We traded the stars for street lights without considering the cost — losing not just dark skies, but our connection to the cosmos.
Light pollution disrupts circadian rhythms and melatonin production, contributing to insomnia, depression, obesity, diabetes, and even increased cancer risk. • Blue-rich LED light at night is particularly harmful to human health and well-being.
Wildlife suffers dramatically from artificial light • — migrating birds crash into illuminated buildings, sea turtle hatchlings head toward cities instead of the ocean, and insect populations are decimated. Even marine ecosystems are disrupted.
The good news? Light pollution is reversible. • Use shielded, downward-facing fixtures, choose warmer LED colors (under 3000K), install timers and motion sensors, and support dark sky initiatives. Turn off unnecessary lights — reclaiming darkness also reclaims wonder.

1237: Light Pollution | Skeptical Sunday

Mickey Royal (@mickey_royal) is a former gangster, drug dealer, pimp, mob enforcer, and bestselling author of The Pimp Game: Instructional Guide and The Pimp Guide: Secrets of Mind Manipulation. [This is part two of a two-part episode. Catch up with part one here!]

What We Discuss with Mickey Royal:

 • 
How Mickey's pseudobulbar affect and bipolar disorder came in handy as advantages • in his line of work.

 • 
What being deemed "capable" in certain circles means • -- and why it's a networking mistake among criminals to turn your back on the type of job this entails (even if you've since moved "up").

 • How Mickey established The Royal Family -- 
an organized stable of prostitutes that ran with the efficiency of a Fortune 500 company. • 

 • Why someone who's smart enough to make money through illicit entrepreneurial means 
would probably find outstanding success in the mainstream under different circumstances. • 

 • 
How the mental toll of seeing people only from the levers by which they can be manipulated adds up • and makes "normal" relationships difficult to impossible.

 • And much more...
