On This Week's Feedback Friday:
- Your mother-in-law has always been passive-aggressive and button-pushing, but now she's crossed a major line by repeatedly inviting someone with statutory rape charges to family gatherings with your young children, despite your explicit requests to keep him away. How do you protect your kids?
- After 25 years in a tight-knit women's club, the founder has become increasingly domineering and abrasive, turning meetings into one-sided lectures where she shuts down anyone who tries to redirect the conversation. You finally called her out and she looked genuinely contrite β but now what?
- Your tumultuous marriage survived multiple affairs and counseling sessions, but after your husband filed for divorce, you discovered he'd been having an affair with his college ex from Costa Rica. Now she's reinvented herself as a "doctor" and life coach in the US. Should you expose her questionable credentials and background?
- Recommendation of the Week: Everyday (iPhone only).
- Your talented husband has an exhausting pattern of starting successful businesses, overspending on luxuries, then watching everything collapse into massive debt. Now he's fighting leukemia, working a grueling job that's paying off $100k in debt, but wants to quit and start another business. How do you break this cycle?

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with Feedback |
| 0:07.7 | Friday producer, the two-factor authentication making sure I don't send these transmissions of life wisdom to the wrong recipient, Gabriel Mizrahi. |
| 0:14.8 | On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories, secrets, and skills of the world's most fascinating people, |
| 0:19.0 | and turn their wisdom into practical |
| 0:20.8 | advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you. Our mission is to help you |
| 0:24.9 | become a better informed, more critical thinker, and during the week we have long-form conversations |
| 0:28.7 | with a variety of amazing folks, investigative journalists, four-star generals, rocket scientists, |
| 0:33.5 | astronauts. This week we had Dr. Benjamin Bickman on insulin resistance. I know it sounds like |
| 0:38.7 | maybe no big deal, but this causes all kinds of problems in the body and in the brain, |
| 0:43.3 | including sexual dysfunction and men and women, PCOS, erectile dysfunction, dementia, Alzheimer's, |
| 0:49.0 | it's just absolutely not something you want to live with. This is not fringe science. This is |
| 0:53.7 | legitimate stuff. It's |
| 0:54.7 | kind of on the cutting edge, or at least not a ton of people know about this, which is why I chose |
| 0:59.1 | to cover it. We also did a skeptical Sunday last Sunday on fundamentalist Christian ideology versus |
| 1:04.5 | science, because we don't like getting emails from people that are deeply offended, so we decided |
| 1:08.8 | to do something on religion versus science. |
| 1:11.8 | On Fridays, though, we show stories, take listener letters, offer advice, play obnoxious soundbites, |
| 1:16.1 | and compare ourselves to various niche internet security protocols. Gabe, T-minus three days |
| 1:22.2 | before I fly out to Portugal. Pumped to see you, man. Yeah, man, it's going to be awesome. I can't wait. |
| 1:26.4 | I saw you've been cosplaying as a food influencer this week on the gram. Interesting departure from your usual shirtless thirst traps and ridiculous hat picks. Don't call them thirst traps. They're not. They're yoga. If it's just me doing it. Yeah. Did you say yoga fetish traps? Yoga fetish traps. That's what I meant to say. Thank you. Just be accurate. |
| 1:45.9 | Yeah, I just thought I would diversify the stereotype a little bit, you know, keep things fresh on the grid. I'm teasing you, but I'm secretly happy you're doing this so that you can take us to all these dope spots when we get there. Because whenever I try to get vegan food, it's horrible. And I'm like, So it's a steak freets without the steak. |
| 1:42.7 | Bro, I've found some amazing places here. |
