On This Week's Feedback Friday:
- For anyone following the saga of Christopher Ahn (episodes 996 and 997) we're ecstatic to share his recent good news!
- You're moving the whole family in with your wonderful mother-in-law β calmer streets, a big yard, grandma next door, hundreds saved a month. There's just one problem, and he has claws, a grudge against your two sweet cats, and a reputation a stranger once called demonic. Do you draw a line in the litter?
- A while back, a woman who'd survived real loss and an abusive marriage wondered whether she should set her younger partner free to spare him her past. Now she writes back with an update β and a stranger with an uncannily similar story sends a letter of her own. What did trusting love actually require of them?
- You're the only woman on an all-male engineering team, finally breaking through and feeling truly seen β until a married colleague mistakes your kindness for something more and says it out loud. Now you still sit a few feet apart every single day. How do you reset a line you never meant to blur?
- Recommendation of the Week: Mighty Plugs Pure Beeswax Earplugs β moldable beeswax-and-organic-cotton earplugs that conform to your ear like putty, carry a top-rated noise-reduction rating, and stay put through a full night's sleep (waterproof and reusable, too).
- You're a 25-year-old medical student who clawed your way up from almost nothing, and the statistics you keep reading are quietly draining your faith in half the population. You want one honest perspective that survives a fact-check β a pea-sized reason not to give up on men entirely. Is there one?

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with Feedback Friday producer, my sweetheart, helping me impart how to get a head start, Gabriel Mizrahi. |
| 0:13.7 | Amazing. Call back to the one-time wheat air, is it? Yeah, you know it, but pipe down there, sweetheart. I'm trying to do the intro here. |
| 0:20.6 | My B. We got to make sure we don't get evicted, sweetheart. Ugh, God know it, but pipe down there, sweetheart. I'm trying to do the intro here. My B. We gotta make sure we don't get evicted, sweetheart. |
| 0:24.5 | God, it's not even nails on a chalkboard. It's something itches inside the back of my spine when I hear that now. |
| 0:31.5 | 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. During the week, we have long-form conversations with a variety of amazing folks, former jihadis, astronauts, extreme athletes, tech luminaries. Are there tech luminaries now? I feel like those people are on the outs with society. |
| 0:59.2 | This week, we had Lou Velozzi, author of Ray Khan, the betrayal of an informant. Lou was an ATF agent who ran one of the best and most productive informants in ATF history. This guy, Ray, |
| 1:06.0 | went undercover and infiltrated just tons of criminal gangs leading to hundreds of arrests. |
| 1:12.4 | Fascinating story. If you like our crime episodes, you'll love this one. |
| 1:15.4 | We spoke with Jacob Ward on artificial intelligence and how it might actually make us |
| 1:19.3 | dumber and removes our ability to make decisions, just how calculators have affected us and |
| 1:23.4 | our math skills, or maybe I should just speak for myself. |
| 1:25.9 | We also did a skeptical Sunday last Sunday |
| 1:27.7 | on Zinn, those pouches that you put in your mouth, they're nicotine pouches, they're all the rage now. |
| 1:32.7 | On Fridays, though, we share stories, take listener letters, offer advice, and never let the funniest |
| 1:37.3 | pet names we hear on the show die. But before we kick off today, we wanted to share an update on |
| 1:41.9 | Christopher On. So Christopher On, just to remind everyone, |
| 1:45.4 | he is the former Marine we had on the show who in 2019, with an NGO that he was involved in, |
| 1:51.2 | he entered the North Korean embassy in Madrid, hoping to help staff members defect. But the |
| 1:56.8 | operation ended up going sideways. North Korea identified him and intended to actually |
| 2:01.5 | assassinate him, which is kind of derivying. And so for the last several years, he's actually |
| 2:06.7 | been fighting extradition to Spain on charges tied to the incident, which, as we talked about |
| 2:11.8 | in our interview with him, that was episodes 996 and 997, by the way, at just a fascinating |
