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...

1238: Ken Burns | What If the American Revolution Isn't Over?

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.

On This Week's Feedback Friday:

It's our 400th Feedback Friday! But if you want to bypass Jordan and Gabe's reflection on this landmark • that may only be important to us, 
skip on ahead to about 12 minutes and 20 seconds [00:12:20] into the episode!You're going through a divorce and during a heated conversation about past wrongs, your ex-wife accused you of pressuring her into sex throughout your marriage. • But then you remember times she initiated intimacy while you were asleep. 
What does consent really mean in a complicated marriage like yours?You're a 19-year-old studying in the UK who finally discovered your passion for entrepreneurship after years of directionless procrastination. • But your student visa explicitly prohibits starting a business. 
Do you transfer back to Switzerland and disappoint your parents, or suppress this newfound drive for two more years?Your younger millennial girlfriend is brilliant, but her communication style at work — complete with sing-song sarcasm about boundaries and not checking emails on weekends — is rubbing her Gen X boss the wrong way. • You can see both sides. 
How do you tell her without crushing her authentic self?Recommendation of the Week: Star Projector (More options in the resources at the bottom of the show notes!)You retired at 48 after running a successful business for 20 years and now live comfortably off investments. • But when people in your Midwestern town ask what you do, their reactions range from awkward silence to outright skepticism.

1236: Bedroom Blame Game Sparks Consent Shame | Feedback Friday

Social engineer Oobah Butler joins us to explain how fake fame, false reviews, and algorithmic nonsense shape the world we trust.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1235

What We Discuss with Oobah Butler:

Oobah Butler gained fame for turning his garden shed into London's top-rated restaurant on TripAdvisor • — exposing how easily online platforms can be manipulated.
His fake reviews and staged photos revealed how public consensus often overrides reality • as people trusted digital hype over their own senses.
 • Later projects, like 
selling bottled Amazon driver urine as an "energy drink," highlighted how corporations and algorithms fail to prevent absurd or unethical outcomes.His undercover work in Amazon warehouses exposed inhumane conditions • , unrealistic expectations, and the human cost of convenience.
Oobah shows that curiosity, creativity, and bold experimentation can uncover hidden truths • — reminding us that challenging systems with humor and insight is a learnable, powerful form of critical thinking.
 • And much more...

1235: Oobah Butler | A Trickster Turns Deception Into Art and Insight

Protein sources, seed oil panic, aspartame fears — nutritional scientist Dr. Layne Norton dismantles the internet's favorite fitness myths here!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1234

What We Discuss with Dr. Layne Norton:

Total protein intake matters more than source. • Once you consume 30-40 grams of protein in a sitting, the specific source becomes largely irrelevant since the muscle-building signal gets saturated.
Aspartame fears are scientifically unfounded. • Despite popular panic, artificial sweeteners don't cause insulin spikes, increase hunger, or cause diabetes. Cancer risks only appear at 10,000x normal consumption in lab rats.
Context over absolutes defines expert communication. • Real experts rarely use words like "always," "never," "best," or "worst." They provide nuance, acknowledge uncertainty, and present opposing viewpoints before explaining their position.
Emotional manipulation drives supplement marketing. • The more exclamation points and extreme claims in marketing, the less likely it's legitimate. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, not just assertion.
Listen to how fitness experts (or any experts, for that matter) speak, not just what they say. • Train yourself to recognize measured, contextual language that acknowledges complexity. When you spot fear-mongering or absolute statements, investigate deeper and demand evidence before accepting claims.
 • And much more...

1234: Layne Norton | Debunking Diet Soda Panic and Seed Oil Hysteria

Does OnlyFans empower or exploit its content creators? Do subscribers make real connections? Nick Pell separates fact from fantasy 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/1233

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

Just the top one percent of OnlyFans creators earn a third of all revenue, while median earnings are just $150/month or less • — far from the sensational headlines promising six-figure incomes that attract most new creators to the platform.
Most user interactions aren't genuine — about 70% of platform revenue comes from messaging, but creators often outsource chats • to overseas workers or use AI chatbots, meaning subscribers aren't getting the authentic connection they're paying for.
Creating OnlyFans content creates serious long-term career risks. • The digital footprint is permanent, making future employment difficult, and many creators face doxxing, stalking, harassment, and mental health issues including depression and PTSD.
The platform harbors exploitation and trafficking concerns. • Investigations have documented patterns of coercion, "e-pimping," underage content, and cases where creators are controlled by abusive partners or managers who take their earnings.
Before pursuing any gig economy opportunity, research the realistic earnings, hidden costs, and long-term consequences. • Ask yourself if the work aligns with your values and future goals, not just immediate financial needs.

On This Week's Feedback Friday:

Don't want to hear about the time Jordan and Gabe had to share a hotel bed? Then skip ahead to around 12 minutes and 50 seconds [00:12:50] because you clearly hate fun!You've been in an open relationship for six years, but your partner started spending half his time with someone in another state who might want monogamy. • After nine months of trying to communicate, he still can't decide what he wants. How long do you wait in this limbo, and is his indecision the answer?
You're a 26-year-old Navy Lieutenant who drives warships and owns investment properties, but worry that being too independent makes you less attractive to men. • You hate makeup and dating apps because they feel like selling out. Should you compromise your principles to find love, or is there another way forward?
Your neighbor ignored your greetings, refused to help pay for a wall, then started hanging towels and feeding cats on top of it. • You've been throwing her stuff back for months, and now it's keeping you up at night. Do you bake a peace cake for Neighbor Appreciation Day or keep the petty war going?
Recommendation of the Week: A high-quality flashlightYou're expecting your first baby and committed to a no-screens childhood, but your siblings let their kids blast YouTube at restaurants without headphones. • How do you enforce boundaries with family members who'll wave iPads in your child's face without looking like you're judging their parenting choices?

1232: Open Relationship Deal Makes You the 3rd Wheel | Feedback Friday

From USC quarterback to drug kingpin to ice cream entrepreneur, Owen Hanson explains how criminal skills can translate to legitimate business success.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1231

What We Discuss with Owen Hanson:

Early childhood trauma shaped Owen Hanson's path. • Owen's parents divorced when he was eight, and his mother left with his sister. He didn't see her for nine months, leading to deep abandonment issues and a desperate need for his father's approval that influenced his later choices.
Prison strips away fair-weather friends. • When Owen went to federal prison, he lost nearly everyone. He could count his true friends on one hand (including his parents) — most people vanished out of fear or because they were only there for the party, not the person.
Drug smuggling vs. ice cream logistics. • Owen admits shipping frozen ice cream pallets is actually harder than smuggling cocaine because ice cream must stay frozen 24/7. When his first shipment arrived in New York unmelted, he felt the same rush he once got from drug deals.
Business skills transfer directly. • Owen discovered the same entrepreneurial principles that made him successful in illegal operations — logistics, networking, risk management — apply perfectly to legitimate business, just with different (and legal) products.
Redemption lives in applied skills. • Owen channeled his hustler instincts into creating a high-protein ice cream business he developed in prison. By redirecting his entrepreneurial energy toward something positive, he proves that skillsets aren't inherently good or bad — it's how you deploy them that matters.
 • And much more...

1231: Owen Hanson | From USC Golden Boy to International Drug Kingpin

Metta World Peace (@MettaWorld37) (aka Metta Sandiford-Artest, aka Ron Artest) is a former NBA All-Star, author of No Malice: My Life in Basketball or: How a Kid from Queensbridge Survived the Streets, the Brawls, and Himself to Become an NBA Champion, and host of the Mettaphorically Speaking podcast.

What We Discuss with Metta World Peace:

 • 
How did Ron Artest become Metta World Peace • , what were some of the considered alternatives, and why did he later change his name to Metta Sandiford-Artest?

 • Growing up with anger management problems that arguably culminated in the infamous Malice at the Palace Pacers–Pistons brawl, 
how does Metta positively channel his passion these days? • 

 • 
Why Metta chose to work a part-time job at Circuit City after practice • while pulling in a million dollars a year (albeit 
before • taxes) for the Chicago Bulls.

 • 
Why Metta made a point to thank his shrink when he was playing for the Lakers • and they won the 2010 championship.

 • 
How Metta has advocated for mental health awareness • by donating a portion of his NBA salary and auctioning off his 2010 championship ring.

 • And much more...
