Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with Feedback Friday producer, the king of Aldlang Zinoffs, Gabriel Mizrahi.

Oh, good one. Killing the nicknames recently, I have to say. Yeah, I thought you would like that one. You're not the only one who can spin a

mean dad pun, bruh. Clearly not. Do it a king of old long sign-offs? Is that how you pronounce? Yeah, either way. Old-Lang Zinoffs. Old-like sign-offs. Yeah. Anyway, on the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the story, secrets, and skills of the world's most fascinating people. Turn their wisdom and to practical advice you can use to impact your own life and those around you,

and 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 organized crime figures, former jihadis,

investigative journalists, astronauts, hostage negotiators. This week we had Joe Loya, author of

the memoir, The Man Who Outgrew His Prison Cell Confessions of a Bank Robber. This dude has a really

fascinating story. He grew up with a violent, abusive father. When he was 16, there was a severe beating

going on in the house with his brother, and he ended up stabbing his dad in the neck.

And his life went sideways after that. He became a prolific bank robber.

After he robbed his 24th bank, he was arrested, served time in prison.

But even from prison, he continued his criminal behavior until he was eventually placed in solitary confinement, where he was alone for two years, which sounds terrible. Relatable. Yeah, kind of like Gabriel in Japan with Worst Food. And he was finally able to forgive his dad, find clarity and insight, eventually find redemption through his writing. So I had him on to share a bank robber's journey from stabbing his dad to finding peace, I guess you would say. And as you can imagine, there was a lot to talk about. So this is a two-part show. On Fridays, though, we take listener letters, offer advice,

play the occasional obnoxious soundbite and kick off the year right by plunging forward into the

great dues-filled unknown. By the way, a funny little note. One of the most controversial things I got

email for in 2025 was the Palestine-Israel conflict, the Gaza thing, that got a lot of

email. But it's barely first place to people writing in about what we said about Zinn on a recent

feedback Friday. Oh, yeah. People were very upset that we thought it was tobacco and they're like,

it's not tobacco. Yeah, I think we said it was tobacco and they're like, it's not tobacco.

Yeah, I think we said it was tobacco because it's like a nicotine pouch. And people are like,

nicotine is not bad for you, which is objectively not true. It's also super highly addictive.

And a couple of other listeners pointed out, because this was in Spotify comments, emails,
