On This Week's Feedback Friday:

  • It's our 400th Feedback Friday! But if you want to bypass Jordan and Gabe's reflection on this landmark that may only be important to us, skip on ahead to about 12 minutes and 20 seconds [00:12:20] into the episode!
  • You're going through a divorce and during a heated conversation about past wrongs, your ex-wife accused you of pressuring her into sex throughout your marriage. But then you remember times she initiated intimacy while you were asleep. What does consent really mean in a complicated marriage like yours?
  • You're a 19-year-old studying in the UK who finally discovered your passion for entrepreneurship after years of directionless procrastination. But your student visa explicitly prohibits starting a business. Do you transfer back to Switzerland and disappoint your parents, or suppress this newfound drive for two more years?
  • Your younger millennial girlfriend is brilliant, but her communication style at work β€” complete with sing-song sarcasm about boundaries and not checking emails on weekends β€” is rubbing her Gen X boss the wrong way. You can see both sides. How do you tell her without crushing her authentic self?
  • Recommendation of the Week: Star Projector (More options in the resources at the bottom of the show notes!)
  • You retired at 48 after running a successful business for 20 years and now live comfortably off investments. But when people in your Midwestern town ask what you do, their reactions range from awkward silence to outright skepticism. How do you handle conversations about your unconventional early retirement?
  • Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at [email protected]!

Our mission is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker. During the week, we have long-form conversations with a variety of amazing folks, from cold case homicide investigators, hostage and negotiators, gold smugglers, and rocket scientists. This week we had Dr. Lane Norton, PhD in nutritional sciences. We talk protein, diet soda, nutrition myths, the truth about seed oils, and more.

I also interviewed Uba Butler, author, filmmaker, social media provocateur. Uba, if you don't know,

1:01.2

he basically creates stunts that reveal larger truths about societies. He created a fake restaurant,

1:07.2

gone undercover at an Amazon warehouse, and more fascinating guys. Got a new project in the. That is top secrets. We're looking forward to that as well. We also had a skeptical Sunday last Sunday on OnlyFans. On Fridays, though, we share stories, take listener letters, play obnoxious sound, and generally wander into the dark thicket of your gnarled and gnarly life conundra. So Gabe, I ran into a dude with a sign this morning. You know that guy? Who's this? Oh, dude with a sign, it's a character essentially created by a guy named Seth Phillips. It's brilliant, right? He got famous for standing around random places in New York, holding up cardboard signs with funny messages. It's stuff people think, but don't say out loud. Like, there'll be a sign that just says stop replying all to come many white emails or something like that. Or Seinfeld is way better than friends. Stuff, just stuff like that. Or like hot takes, but kind of funny. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Like maybe a Facebook status, but instead it's on a old box lid. And so it's brilliant because he needs like a Sharpie and box lids. That's insane that he's built a successful brand on that. It's probably a multimillion or at least seven feet close to it brand. And he needs a Sharpie and box lids in himself. And when you look at the photos, you get the impression that he's standing there all day

2:18.2

getting reactions.

2:19.0

No, he stands there. Someone takes a picture and he's like, all right, I'm done with my work for the whole day. And then like goes and I don't know, has a beer or something. Wow. What a life. He, it blew up. It used to be part of fuck Jerry. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Pardon me for

2:33.6

but that's the name of the company.

2:35.3

It blew up.

2:36.1

He has millions of followers

2:37.0

and now he's basically fuck Jerry. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Pardon me for, but that's the name of the company.

2:35.2

It blew up. He has millions of followers. And now he's basically a meme himself. Got it. It was funny watching him do it. He was doing some sort of like corporate thing, but people on the street were like, oh, and he would like, can I hug you? I'm like, oh, he's an actual real celebrity in New York. So what was the sign today?

2:50.8

You know what?

2:51.5

It didn't make sense to me because I think it was a sponsored gig.

2:54.5

Uh. He's an actual real celebrity in New York. So what was the sign today? You know what? It didn't make sense to me because I think it was a sponsored gig. Oh, okay. So it was like, schooners is delicious. It's like a beer or something or in a place. You could tell he's being managed by somebody that he was mildly annoyed by. I just blew it for him, but whatever.
