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

Friday producer. The Straight Razor helping me shave this bushy beard of life drama with as little

irritation in ingrown hair as possible, Gabriel Mizrahi. On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode

the story of 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.

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. Economic hitmen,

gold smugglers, Russian spies, hostage negotiators. This week, we had my friend Derek Coburn

about the financial aspect of retirement, which sounds boring, I know, but was actually quite an

enlightening and super important practical conversation about how we can best take care of ourselves

as we age, so we don't end up working until we die. And we also had a skeptical Sunday last

Sunday on Passport Bros. On Fridays, though, we share

stories, take listener letters, offer advice, play silly sound bites that probably won't land us in a copyright lawsuit, and compare Gabe to bespoke personal grooming tools. We do do that. You, of course, are a manscaping clipper. I hope you know that. Yes, that's right. Purchased using one of our sponsor codes, of course. I'm that one that you have lying around somewhere in a drawer tidies up the

nether regions, sometimes leaves a little

brazen, little nick, but always gets the job done. Gross, but accurate. As always, we've got some fun ones and some duzies. Let's dive in. Gabe, what is the first thing out of the mailbag? Dear Jordan and Gabe, I'm 38 and I have a very fulfilling career and a very fulfilling marriage.

We're both professionals and both educated, and as soon as we had our children, two of them,

we set up savings account for each of them, a general trust fund and a college fund.

So we are absolutely in a position to welcome more children.

Meanwhile, all of my siblings have special

needs children. My brother has a special needs son whose needs are so great that he lives in a

special home with round-the-clock staff to care for him. My sister has three special needs children,

one with autism and two with cognitive delays. My cousin's children also have different disabilities.

Wow, that is very intense. That's a lot of special needs in one family, no? Definitely, yeah. I wonder how that happened. I mean, is that genetic? Is it just random luck? I mean, is it just come down to chance? I don't know. I accept them, and I do not doubt my siblings' genuine love for them. But witnessing the effort that goes into caring for high knee children looks very distressing.
