This episode is sponsored in part by Vital Proteins. You probably heard of Vital Proteins.

They're the number one brand of collagen peptides in the U.S. And for good reason, a lot of people, myself included, take it pretty much daily to support things like healthy hair, skin, nails, bones, joints, all the good stuff. That starts to matter more the longer you've been walking around on this planet. But now, Vital Proteins is shaking things up. Literally, you can tell a dad wrote this copy, with a brand new collagen and protein shake, and this isn't your average protein shake that tastes like chalk and sadness. This one's light, chocolatey, super smooth, and it's got something pretty unique going for it, high quality protein, 30 grams of it plus collagen, that's pretty good ROI. Usually you're choosing one or the other, but Vital Proteins gives you both a ready-to-drink shake you can toss in your bag or fridge, zero added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, and no carogenin. And I don't know what that is, or if that's even how you say it, but you're supposed to avoid that. If you're already taking collagen or you're just curious about how it might support your hair, skin, nails, joints, and you don't want any carogenin, this is a super easy, tasty way to

try it. Get 20% off by going to vital proteins.com and entering promo code Jordan at checkout.

So a lot of you accidentally got this episode on Friday. That was a little system error on

our part. So sorry about that for the unsolicited

Dick episode instead of Feedback Friday. If you are getting this and you didn't even get to hear

feedback Friday, I suggest trying to listen again in your app after deleting and redownloading the file,

listening in a different podcast app like Overcast, or you can listen directly on the website

at Jordan Harbinger.com.

The problem is us Americans,

we are just not good at pulling things back.

Maybe if we weren't all circumcised,

we would have been able to figure this one out sooner.

Sorry, folks.

Now on to Skeptical Sunday.

Welcome to Skeptical Sunday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. Today I'm here with Skeptical

Sunday co-host Michael Regilio. On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories,

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. Our mission is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker, and during the week we have long-form conversations with a variety of amazing folks, spies, CEOs, athletes, authors, thinkers, performers. On Sundays, though, we do skeptical Sunday where a rotating guest co-host and I break down a topic you may have never thought about and debunk common misconceptions about it. Topics such as why the Olympics are kind of a sham, why tipping makes no sense, circumcision, rakey healing, ear-candling, self-help cults, energy drinks, and more. And if you're new to the show or you're looking for a handy way to tell your friends about it, I suggest our episode starter packs. These are collections of our favorite episodes on persuasion and negotiation, psychology,

disinformation, crime and cults, and more.

That'll help new listeners get a taste of everything we do here on the show.
