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 Mat
  • You'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, what if the real answer lies in how you approach the decision itself, not which option you pick?
  • Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at [email protected]!
  • Connect with Jordan on Twitter at @JordanHarbinger and Instagram at @jordanharbinger.
  • Connect with Gabriel on Twitter at @GabeMizrahi and Instagram @gabrielmizrahi.

And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with Feedback

0:07.7

Friday producer, the convection oven circulating these heat waves of wisdom around this toasty

0:12.5

furnace of life conundra, Gabriel Mizrahi. On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories,

0:17.3

secrets, and skills of the world's most fascinating people and turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you.

0:24.9

Our mission is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker.

0:28.2

During the week, we have long-form conversations with a variety of amazing folks,

0:31.8

investigative journalists, economic hitman, undercover agents, former jihadis.

0:35.9

This week, we had Greg Lukianov from fire on free speech

0:39.5

and why it's important, even if you disagree with the speech that is being freed or currently being

0:44.0

unfreed. We also had Evan Osnos on yachts and why rich people love them, hide money on them,

0:50.5

add missile launchers to them, and more. We also had a skeptical Sunday on human trafficking. So a lot of cheery topics this week, but go back and listen very interesting, important and apropos stuff, if you haven't heard those yet. On Fridays, though, we take listener letters offer advice, play obnoxious soundbites, and generally dance on the graves of all the villains who send our wonderful listeners running into our

inbox. I hear we got our work cut out for us, so let's get right to it today, Gabe. What is the

1:15.4

first thing out of the mailbag? Hey, Jordan and Gabe. I'm engaged to the love of my life, Keith.

1:21.7

Keith has two siblings, a brother close in age and a half-sister, Julia, who's much older. Their mother, Kate, is the

1:29.2

shared biological parent. Keith's dad, David, raised Julia as his own, as her dad wasn't in the

1:35.6

picture. Julia is a piece of work. For a few years in her youth, she stayed with Kate's parents,

1:41.8

based on what I've heard about their abuse that probably didn't

1:45.0

help her develop good mental health. Her behaviors are impulsive, violent, manipulative, and cruel.

1:51.6

A couple years ago, she got triggered enough that she threatened her wife and ended up shooting

1:56.1

herself in the stomach during an argument. Kate and David took her in while she healed.

2:00.7

Shot herself in the stomach. In the stomach, dude. Ouch.

2:05.2

How do you even do that? I'm trying to imagine how that I went down. I don't, I have no idea,
