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.

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

Friday producer, Little Gabe on the Prairie, flitting about like a Finnish ferry before he crosses

the Baltic on a ferry, Gabriel Mizrahi. Wow, bravo. That was some of your finest work, dude.

I mean, that one wrote itself. Honestly, that was just a little alley-oop on your increasingly zany life choices. Let's explain in a second. 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-formed conversations with a variety of amazing folks, former jihadis, drug

traffickers, astronauts, legendary Hollywood actors. This week we had Jimmy Kimmel, well, James Kimmel,

on the Science of Revenge and Kashmir Hill on AI chatbots driving people, literally driving

people insane. We also released a bonus episode, which was really Feedback Friday from last week. We re-released that because of an error. So if you didn't hear Feedback Friday last week, now it's the bonus episode from Wednesday. Sorry for the confusion, folks. We also did a skeptical Sunday last Sunday on, and I can't believe I'm about to say this, penis size. No need to dwell on that one. On Fridays, though, we share stories, take listener letters, offer advice, play obnoxious soundbites, and keep up with Gabe across various modes of increasingly ridiculous transport. Hello, producer Jay's here. If you'd like to skip Jordan and Gabe's pre-ramble here and move swiftly to the first question. That's totally possible.

I'd suggest you stick around because it's a really fun story. But if you do want to skip to the

first question, you can do so by skipping to 8 minutes and 30 seconds. Give or take if you

order advert at the top of the show. So just to explain today's nickname, you're recording this

episode in Stockholm today. Yeah, I'm in Stockholm. That's right. I took the boat here from Helsinki, which I think is what you're referring to. But I did not know what I was getting into when I booked this boat. I swear, every time I look at your Instagram, I start cracking up because you're always involved in some bizarre new caper. I'm honestly not trying

to be this zany. I'm just trying to get from A to B and weird shit keeps happening. It's like the

equivalent of, I need to get across the room. I'm going to walk on my hands to get there. Like,

no, no, no, I need to. Last week, your hippie Grandpa Gabe rocking out with your wool socks with

reindeer around him sitting in a sauna with a bunch of hippie Dave Matthews band Vikings. This week, you're boarding a cruise ship. None of it makes any sense.

There's no co-heat. There's no through line. Let me explain. So, you can fly from Helsinki to Stockholm,

obviously. It takes like an hour. But someone told me that there's also a boat you can take,

and it takes 16 hours to get there. But you board this

boat, you hang out, you go to sleep, and you wake up in Stockholm. And it's supposed to be really fun. And it's kind of a right of passage for Finnish and Swedish kids, apparently. It's kind of like a booze cruise situation a little bit. A booze cruise or a dews cruise cruise. A booze cruise with a Cruise.
