Now let's dive in!
On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:- Your staunchly conservative grandparents who harbor anti-immigrant sentiments recently paid $15,000 to smuggle a man with a violent past into the US — someone they had previously adopted and returned to Mexico when he was just a boy. Now he's living with them and reaching out to connect with you. What the heck is going on, and what do you do about it?
- You have a friend with potential who seems perpetually stuck, always blaming others for his lack of progress in career, relationships, and health. Despite your care for him and attempts to help, he always has a convenient excuse for why nothing will work. Can you find a way through to him?
- You discovered your restaurant job wasn't paying legally required overtime, and when you brought this up to your boss, things quickly escalated in an unexpected direction. How do you navigate the aftermath and protect your rights?
- Your 11-year-old son splits time between your home and his father's, where he witnesses concerning behavior and feels increasingly afraid and unhappy. With limited legal options before he turns 14, what can you do to protect him while keeping him connected to his siblings?
- Recommendation of the Week: Audiobook efficiency hacks!
- Jordan shares a wild story from his teenage years when he got involved with Detroit police doing unofficial undercover work in schools. With no paperwork or protection, he was walking a dangerous line. How did he make it out unscathed?

| 0:07.6 | Friday producer, the official manufacturer dongle connecting you to this USBC port of life drama, |
| 0:13.4 | Gabriel Mizrahi. Yeah, not one of those knockoff dongles you see on Amazon for like 87 cents. |
| 0:19.3 | Yeah, with a brand name is in all caps and you get three instead of one. |
| 0:23.2 | You're like, but I just need one. |
| 0:24.2 | And they're like, no, you're getting, you're getting five. |
| 0:26.0 | Because they all jiggle a little and then die after a month. |

| 0:49.1 | I'm not going to bother contacting the car. That is totally why they do that. And it's cheaper for us to make three than to make one, exactly. |
| 0:54.6 | Yeah, that is, oh my God, that is definitely what. |
| 0:56.8 | And then they can also be like, well, it's $6.99, which isn't expensive because you're |
| 1:00.3 | getting five. |
| 1:00.8 | And you're like, all right, fine. |
| 1:02.0 | I think we just cracked the case. |
| 1:03.5 | Did we just discover economics? |
