Summary

Are you right to cut ties with your grandpa now that his sociopathic, incestuous, and pedophilic history has come to light? Welcome to Feedback Friday!

And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now let's dive in!

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

Some people in your family disagree with your decision to cut ties with Grandpa now that his sociopathic, incestuous, and pedophilic history has come to light. What should you do? [Thanks to Maria Socolof and Brad Watts for helping us with another heavy one!]
Six months off weed during a manic period brought you artistic success and closeness to your wife and kids. Now, in a 'down' time, an urge to resume communion with the righteous herb has returned — much to the chagrin of your wife. Is it worth it?
Your father gave you and your siblings each $100,000 to use for investing in real estate. While you did use much of it to put a down payment on a house, you wasted about half self-soothing while dealing with a depressing, friendless work assignment in the middle of nowhere. Though you know your dad would be disappointed, should you come clean?
Management at your company has become toxic since a recent merger, and they want you to jump through the hoop of finishing your bachelor's degree to make an extra $10,000 in your current position. Unfortunately, a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis has you worried you might not be up to the challenge. What's your best move?[Thanks to HR professional Joanna Tate for helping us with this one!]
Is there value in platforming divisive figures like RFK Jr. on this show?

0:00.0	Special thanks to Airbnb for sponsoring this episode of the Jordan Harbinger show.
0:04.3	Maybe you've stayed in an Airbnb before and thought to yourself,
0:06.8	yeah, this actually seems pretty doable. Maybe my place could be an Airbnb.
0:10.1	It could be as simple as starting with a spare room or your whole place while you're away.

0:22.0	Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger.
0:25.6	Well, we're laughing already because of shenanigans prior to hitting the record button.
0:31.0	We had to hit record, and we're not going to be serious this whole day.
0:34.4	I'm here in studio with Feedback Friday producer, a guy who's literally wearing a hat today that says,
0:39.7	Kebunito, are you trying to make it embarrassingly easy for me to roast you?
0:46.2	Because it's working. Yes, it's working. When I put on this hat, I knew it was a choice.
0:51.6	So is that a brand? Kebunito or is it just like, hey, this is how I'm feeling?
0:55.1	If you want to hear the whole story, I can tell you how I came by this hat.
0:59.3	I don't know about the whole story. What's the abbreviation?
1:02.1	I just found out because I did not know this until I looked it up online.
1:05.1	It's a coffee roasting company that makes merch and a friend of mine bought it at my suggestion.
1:10.6	And it did not look very good on her. So she just gave it to me, which was the correct decision.
1:15.7	And I've been wearing it ever since and it seems to be a hit. I love this hat.
1:20.0	I'm really into this hat. But yeah, it's a coffee company.
1:22.3	Kebunito in the pink font, we're going to find out in two or three years or right after the show
1:27.4	that that means something that neither of us are aware of that's either horrifyingly
1:31.7	sort of gross or possibly a subculture reference that we're just not picking up.
