Summary

Should you throw in the friendship towel after a feckless frottage foul with someone's significant other? Can you make it right? 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:
  • Should you throw in the friendship towel after a feckless frottage foul with someone's significant other, or can you make it right? Shrugging your shoulders and quipping, "At least it's a dry cheat" is probably not your best option.
  • As parents, you've been bearing the burden of your adult daughter's bad choices in education, employment, and financial responsibilities, but she hasn't always been so reckless. What's changed, and how can you help her regain her footing when she doesn't even seem to want to help herself?
  • You love to travel, but struggle to sleep away from your own bed due to persistent insomnia or hypersensitivity. You've experimented with all the common remedies to no avail, but what's left to try? [This segment is sponsored by BetterHelp. Big thanks to Haesue Jo, Head of Clinical Operations at BetterHelp!]
  • How do you gently nudge your 70-year-old parents away from offering body-shaming commentary that was more socially acceptable in their youth (and was instrumental in the negative way you felt about yourself in yours)?
  • Though life in your hometown is what many would consider idyllic, you can't shake the feeling that you've missed out on experiencing what it would be like to live elsewhere. How can you explore your options without upending the quality of life your family currently enjoys?
  • 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.

producer, the white noise machine, lulling you to sleep in this noisy room of life drama.

0:13.7

Gabriel, Mizrahi. You didn't have to make it a racial thing, but okay. Yeah, okay. White noise

0:18.8

is in the type of noise Gabriel, not the ethnicity. I wasn't calling you a Caucasian noise machine.

0:25.4

Although that would have been a much better roast than my sort of B minus job, I just did much,

0:30.4

much better. That's right. Aren't you technically half-white as Middle Eastern considered? I don't

0:35.1

even know what's of ethnicity now. I don't know. It depends which form you're filling out and where

0:40.4

you're filling that form out at. Right. I guess maybe you should have gone with mixed race noise

machine. Yeah, off-white noise machine. How's that? Perfect. Have we gone cancel yet or should we

0:50.5

just keep talking, digging ourselves into a hole? I say we put it down there because I've got

0:54.4

sponsors to appease, but there is something interesting. You sparked something interesting

0:57.6

with the form. It's like, is this a DMV form where we talk on like college grants because there's

1:01.4

flexibility on some of these things. Exactly. All right. On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode

1:06.6

the stories, secrets and skills of the world's most fascinating people and turn their wisdom

1:10.7

into practical advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you. And our

1:15.6

mission is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker. During the week, we have

1:19.5

long-form conversations with a variety of amazing folks from organized crime figures to hostage

1:24.6

negotiators, astronauts, investigative journalists and chess grandmasters. This week, we had Dr. Robert

1:30.0

Waldinger on the very famous Harvard happiness study. It's gone for multiple generations. One of

1:35.8

the best and longest running longitudinal studies on what makes for a happy life. Of course,

1:40.1

we're talking happiness and happy lives. Also, this week, Captain Max Hardburger, exactly what it
