On This Week's Feedback Friday:

  • If you prefer to board the Dooze Cruise without following the latest globetrotting adventures of Jordan and Gabe, skip ahead to around 21 minutes and 20 seconds.
  • After two years of radio silence, your old friend from Germany has suddenly resurfaced — not to reconnect, but to announce he's moving into your apartment rent-free while you and your fiancée are trying to start a family. He didn't ask. He informed. How do you say "nein" without nuking the friendship?
  • Your husband's sister has spent eight years intimidating you, belittling your anxiety, and treating conflict like a competitive sport — all while the family shrugs it off as "just how she is." Now politics have entered the chat, your husband finally drew a line, and she technically respected it. But what happens when she inevitably crosses it again?
  • Your suburban neighbor "Chad" has turned the cul-de-sac into his personal fiefdom — following people to work, making veiled threats about firearms, and tormenting anyone who crosses his path. The HOA's useless, the cops seem indifferent, and you're stuck living next to a man with too much free time and zero chill. What's your move? [Thanks once again to attorney Corbin Payne for helping us with this one!]
  • Recommendation of the Week: The Garmin inReach Mini — a satellite communicator that keeps you connected (and findable) even when you're completely off the grid, with SOS capability and optional search-and-rescue insurance.
  • You and your partner are about to tie the knot, you're both carrying grief from losing parents, and you want to build the strongest possible foundation before saying "I do." You've heard all the usual advice — but what are the real, practical things couples should do before marriage that nobody talks about?
  • Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com!
  • Connect with Jordan on Twitter at @JordanHarbinger and Instagram at @jordanharbinger.
  • Connect with Gabriel on Twitter at @GabeMizrahi and Instagram @gabrielmizrahi.

And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

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

0:08.0

Friday producer of Supercharger powering this electric vehicle of life wisdom in a world where the

0:13.1

price of self-help fuel is skyrocketing, Gabriel Mizrahi. That is true. One barrel of self-help is at

0:19.5

record highs, I'm reading. That's right. Nearly impossible to get a crate of Byron Katie books through the Strait of Hormuz right now. Thanks a lot, Ayatollah Kamani or whoever's in charge over there by the time this airs. That is the main product being affected by this war. That's right. Don't you hate it when you take a nap and you wake up three Ayatollas later? It's just a little disorienting. That was all very, very hormusing. Yeah. Giving it to you straight, bro. On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories, secrets, and skills are the world's most fascinating people and turned 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.

0:58.8

During the week, we have long-form conversations with a variety of amazing folks from arms dealers and military officers, astronauts, cold case homicide investigators and spies.

1:07.7

This week we had Mariana Van Zeller.

1:09.3

She's the host of Trafficked on Nat Geo and the host of

1:12.4

the Hidden Third podcast. She's just an amazing journalist. If you know or you probably love her,

1:17.1

we talked about her meeting with some of the most dangerous people in the human and weapons

1:20.5

trafficking underworld and what it takes to create a hit TV show. She's just a gem of a person.

1:26.5

Probably one of my favorite guests. I just,

1:29.3

amazing, talking with her, meeting her, becoming friends with her. She's just great. I think

1:33.0

you'll love this episode, especially if you like the show traffic. You're going to dig it.

1:36.7

On Fridays, though, we share stories, take listener letters, offer advice, play obnoxious soundbites,

1:41.5

and duck for cover while this existential ordinance falls all around us.

1:46.0

Hello there, show fam. It's producer Jay's here. Just a heads up in case you want to skip Jordan's

1:51.4

Middle Eastern Adventures and Gabe's travel updates. You can jump ahead to 21 minutes and 20 seconds.

1:59.2

Enjoy the show. By the way, I don't know if you guys can tell, but

2:02.7

Jordan and I are both sick this week. Yeah. If we sound a little weird, that's why. Jordan has

2:07.6

some undefinable plague, and I have something I picked up at, I'm pretty sure, the Pilates

2:13.1

studio in Lakeinta near my dad's house. That almost sounds like a joke, but we know you, so it's not.
