Please note that this episode was recorded prior to the 2023 Oscars and because I'm a knucklehead and I don't pay any attention to pop culture,

this didn't air until afterwards. Whoops, it's all still relevant though, enjoy. Welcome to the show, I'm Jordan Harbinger, and this is Skeptical Sunday, a special edition

of the Jordan Harbinger show, where journalist and

podcaster Andrew Gold and I break down a topic you might never have thought

about, open things up, debunk common misconceptions, topics such as why the Olympics

are kind of a sham, why expiration dates on food are nonsense,

why tipping makes no sense, recycling, banned foods, toothpaste, chem trails, and a whole lot more.

Normally, 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.

We have long-form interviews and conversations with a variety of

amazing folks from spies to CEOs, athletes, authors, thinkers, and performers. If you're new to the show or

you want to tell your friends about the show, our episode starter packs are a great place to begin.

These are collections of our favorite episodes

organized by topic that'll help new listeners get a taste of everything we do

here on this show.

Topics like persuasion and influence, disinformation and

cyber warfare, scams, conspiracy debunks, crime and cults, and more. Just visit

Jordan Harbinger.com slash start or take a look in your Spotify app to get started.

All right, today on Skeptical Sunday,

it's that time of year where we all seem to lose our friggin minds

over the people that we are already losing our minds

over the rest of the year.

That's right, it's the 95th Oscars.
