How Josh went from wild child to grounded, friendly father (instead of becoming some kind of "drunk Hollywood jerkface") without knowing his own father until later in life.

How Josh became a standup comedian at the tender age of 11, and what he did to relate to his significantly older audience.
How ego can turn someone into an imposter -- and how this is different from the common phenomenon of imposter syndrome.

How can you help the people of Ukraine as they continue to suffer the atrocities of invasion by Russian forces? Here’s a list.
What do you do when confronted with a romance like no other: your stalker's sister is dating your brother?
Your significant other hates their job, feels stuck because their current skill set doesn't offer any alternatives, and brings this negativity home every night. How can you address the effect their work is having on your relationship without making them feel even more hopeless?
You fear your tendency to cry when discussing things that are unfair or unjust may be holding you back and keeping others from taking you seriously, but therapy has thus far been unsuccessful in keeping these involuntary tears in check.

Why our conscious brain should be grateful for its separation from the subconscious brain.
What is sensory substitution, and how might it allow the blind to “see,” the deaf to “hear,” and create completely new, superhuman senses altogether?
Your umwelt is not my umwelt: a shared environment is several realities, depending on how it’s being sensed.
Alien hands, intellectual flexibility, zombie routines, and smartphone symbiosis.
How might technology augment our brains in the not-too-distant future?

653: Ear Candling | Skeptical Sunday
17 april 2022 · 34 min
Is ear candling -- the practice of inserting a lit, hollow candle in your ear to remove earwax -- a safe, practical way to get the job done? If you have a burning desire to discover the truth, listen on! Lees meer
Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and fact-checker, comedian, and podcast host David C. Smalley break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions.
On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss:
Where did the practice of ear candling originate? It's got to come from a noble, ancient, shamanic tradition and not some hippies out to make a buck, right?
Ear candling is a thriving industry that rakes in about $1.2 million a year.
Are there risks to placing a hollow, burning candle in your living human ear canal?
In spite of any of its potential dangers, at least ear candling gets rid of excess earwax and other debris like it's supposed to, right?
If ear candling is so hazardous to your health, the FDA or some governmental agency is on the case to have it banned, right? Right?
Connect with Jordan on Twitter, on Instagram, and on YouTube. If you have something you'd like us to tackle here on Skeptical Sunday, drop Jordan a line at jordan@jordanharbinger.com and let him know!

652: Sad About Dad's Sexist Thoughts Re: Assault | Feedback Friday
15 april 2022 · 40 min
Your father's never been abusive, but you were recently disheartened when he referred to a child sexual assault survivor and advocate who's been in the news lately as a "media-hungry slut." And when you brought up how this made you feel to your mother, she dismissively suggested you should just let it go because he's always been supportive of you. Is there another approach you can try with your parents to make them understand they're missing the whole point about why you're upset? We'll try to find an answer to this and more here on Feedback Friday! Lees meer

Why does Jordan crusade hard against MLM scams while giving infomercials that peddle shoddy goods a pass?
How can you help the people of Ukraine as they continue to suffer the atrocities of invasion by Russian forces? Here's a list.
How do you make your father understand why you're so upset about dismissive, sexist remarks he casually made regarding a sexual assault survivor who's been in the public eye?
Your father and older sister have serious health issues that require constant care. How can you handle feelings of wanting to run away at a time when you're needed the most?
A creative project on which you collaborated with your significant other fell by the wayside when you had a very bitter breakup. Is there a way to finish the project -- giving your ex credit and a share of the profits for their contributions -- without actually bringing this person back into your life?

What incentives do kidnappers have to treat hostages nonviolently and bargain for their release in good faith?
How do insurers keep vulnerable clients from letting down their guard once a policy has been obtained?
The protection theory that explains how crime organizations (e.g., the mafia) effectively stabilize the kidnap-for-ransom industry.

Brian Klaas (@brianklaas) is an associate professor in global politics at University College London, host of the Power Corrupts podcast, and author of Corruptible: Who Gets Power and How It Changes Us. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Brian Klaas:
How accurate was historian Lord Acton's assessment that "power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"?
Why do people become corrupt? Is it the system working on them from the outside or something in human nature working on them from within?
What kind of people become corrupt? Is everyone susceptible to corruption's temptations?
When it comes to corruption, should our leaders be held to higher standards than the rest of us?
How can we create fair systems to incentivize people to resist corruption in favor of the straight and narrow?

Better ways to understand our introverted friends (or selves).
Action steps for introverts to become more social.

What federal regulations dictate expiration dates for the protection of the consumer?
How dangerous is it to ignore an expiration date on something like a gallon of milk, and what variables might change this?
Why most cases of food poisoning have very little to do with the lackadaisical observance of expiration dates, and how you should really be gauging if something is still fit for consumption.

The important questions to ask before making the commitment to quit your job.
How to break the news to your employer in the right order.
How to set your team up for success long after you've made your exit.
Why you should take the time to craft a great goodbye email to your peers, and what you might say.

Peter Zeihan (@PeterZeihan) is a geopolitical strategist and author of The Absent Superpower, The Accidental Superpower, Disunited Nations, and the upcoming The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Peter Zeihan:
How did the Russian invasion of Ukraine become a "now or never" scenario for Putin?
Even if Russia "wins" this conflict by sheer numbers, how difficult will it be to maintain control of Ukraine -- and what can we expect Putin's next move to be?
What the US and its NATO allies are doing to keep the desperation of a nuclear confrontation at bay.
Why Peter believes Putin's ruthless pruning of threats to his personal power -- leaving no competent next-generation successors -- will ensure he's the last president of the Russian Federation as we know it.
Are China's designs on Taiwan likely to be deterred by the difficulty faced by Russia's forces in Ukraine?

639: Dealing with Your Darling's DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) | Feedback Friday
18 maart 2022 · 51 min
Your significant other has DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), a mental health condition where a person has two or more separate identities. These personalities, or “alters” control the person’s behavior at different times, and each alter often has its own history, traits, likes, and dislikes.

What can you do to empower your significant other as she struggles with DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), while ensuring you're not neglecting your own needs in the process??
You never took the chance to communicate with someone you matched with on a dating app a few years back, but now you see them on LinkedIn and would like to make a networking connection. How can you do so without being awkward about it?

17 maart 2022 · 51 min
Yuriy Matsarsky is a Ukrainian journalist turned civilian fighter against the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Since the incursion began, he's been keeping the world updated with events as they happen as the host of the daily podcast Fighting for Ukraine. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Yuriy Matsarsky:
Why did Yuriy -- and so many of his civilian countrymen and women -- turn in the tools of their trades for assault rifles to defend their homeland against the professional army tasked with invading it?
Why Yuriy considers these Russian invaders more heartless and brutal against civilians -- including women and children -- than even ISIS terrorists he's encountered in war zones.
What Yuriy hopes Westerners come to understand about this conflict sooner rather than later that often gets missed by mainstream media.
What day-to-day life and overall morale are like for Ukrainian defenders, and how Yuriy sees this conflict ultimately playing out.
Short of picking up a rifle and heading to Kyiv, what can you do to help Yuriy and his fellow defenders keep resisting the advances of their uninvited neighbors?

What We Discuss with Bill von Hippel:
What our eyes tell us about how humans evolved to cooperate with one another.
How a psychological phenomenon called the theory of mind makes us aware that mental states of others don't match our own, and why this trait gives human beings a unique advantage in the animal kingdom.

When confronting your fiancée with text messages suggesting she's been cheating on you with a co-worker, she insists it never got physical and she wants to reconcile. But can you ever trust her enough to carry on with the wedding you've been planning?
As an experienced world traveler on a gap year before college, you've researched places you want to visit that your very concerned parents have "forbid" you to consider -- like Iran, Turkmenistan, Iraqi Kurdistan, Lebanon, and Russia.

631: Amanda Catarzi | Overcoming Cult Life and Sex Trafficking
1 maart 2022 · 1 uur 21 min
Amanda Catarzi survived a cult-dominated childhood and abuse at the hands of sex and labor traffickers. In the years since, she has helped law enforcement bust trafficking rings, written federal anti-trafficking legislation, and worked to save countless victims. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Amanda Catarzi:
70 percent of human trafficking victims are women, and 30 percent are men. They usually die (overdose or violence being primary causes) within seven years.
How Amanda's upbringing in an isolated cult that matched teen brides with middle-aged men and preached absolute male dominance over them programmed her to consider abusive relationships normal.
Why moving to the other side of the country didn't turn out to be an escape from the childhood traumas that haunted Amanda, but just the next chapter of her abuse by expert manipulators.
How training as an MMA fighter was the perfect cover for this abuse as no one questioned Amanda's bruises and black eyes when her "coach" trafficked her out to violent johns.
How Amanda escaped this dire situation and has used her experience to help legislators and law enforcement save other trafficking victims (especially children), and what we can do to help stem the tide of abuse that may be going on in our own neighborhoods in plain sight.

630: When the Law Puts You In a Catch-22 | Feedback Friday
25 februari 2022 · 47 min
A well-intended law in your state makes it impossible for victims of sexual abuse, or their loved ones, to get psychological help without triggering a mandatory report. In your situation, such a report would ruin the life of the offender -- who was a minor at the time and may not even remember committing the crime.

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
A well-intended law in your state makes it impossible for victims of sexual abuse, or their loved ones, to get psychological help without triggering a mandatory report. Is it wrong to seek loopholes when this would hurt the family it's intended to help?
Surprisingly, your new company accepted the highball offer you proposed during negotiations, and now your salary is twice what you'd ever hoped to land. So how can you shake the guilty feeling that you don't really deserve it? You wanted to be a jazz guitarist, not an oligarch, for goodness' sakes!
Should you take it as a bad omen that your fiancée doesn't post about you on social media, or are you just reading too much into it?
Is there a way to turn an insensitive racist comment into a teachable moment for the offender...inoffensively?
As a manager, how can you address the deteriorating performance and poor attitude of an older employee who's worked for the company for decades?

The four core regrets we each have, and the insights they give us for finding a better path forward.

Over the past 10 years, your once-athletic spouse has become clinically obese. The doctor has warned that this is a perfect recipe for diabetes and heart disease, but to no avail. How can you bring up losing weight and leading a healthier lifestyle without sounding like a superficial a-hole?
You have an offer for your dream job, but it would mean a $40,000 pay cut and a move across the country -- something your significant other is dead-set against.

You feel like the past two years of the pandemic have dulled your ability to converse smoothly with other human beings, and you worry this is damaging your relationships. What can you do to regain what used to come so naturally?
Your young, sweet neighbor is a stay-at-home mom of four kids, and married to a teacher. She's also embroiled in an MLM scheme and you want to help her see a way out before her family's modest savings are emptied by shysters. What can you do?
You've never gotten along with your snarky mother-in-law, and the tension has only increased since you gave birth to your son. On top of this, your husband takes her side in any disputes, and you're mentally exhausted by all of it. What should you do?

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
Should you proceed with the marriage next month when your fiancée refuses to quit her weed habit even when she knows it triggers your own addictive tendencies?
Your mother's always fawned over babies, but expresses indifference once they get older. As a result, you feel like you were neglected through most of your childhood and never fully developed. Now, at age 30, you've discovered you were conceived via a sperm donor, and suddenly the dots connect. How should you approach your mother about this?
Your international long-distance relationship of several years was disrupted by COVID. And even though you've both agreed to date other people, you still hold onto hope that you might someday be able to work things out and resume a life together. Is this at all realistic, or is it just time to move on?
You don't mind having a reputation for being nice, but it seems to be a green light for some people to habitually take advantage of you. How can you find the right balance between kindness and assertiveness?

Is it wrong to continue a relationship with someone whose romantic past triggers suicidal ideation in you, courtesy of your recently diagnosed borderline personality disorder?
Your enthusiasm for weed has outlived the reasons you once had for using it as a coping mechanism. How can you quit it in secret before it hurts your career, love life, and relationship with your aggressively judgmental family?

You've discovered hard evidence that your toxic, soon-to-be-ex-business partner is guilty of fraud. The vengeful part of you really wants to report her to the authorities, but you don't want your other partner, who you like and respect, to suffer blowback. What's the right thing to do?
Your significant other's anxiety has only gotten worse over the years, and their constant need for validation and reassurance is draining. How can you support their quest to become mentally healthier without becoming emotionally exhausted yourself?
You consider yourself a strong, knowledgeable, take-no-crap woman, but you've been fired from two jobs this year for "not fitting with company culture." So you started your own business, which you love, but you can't overcome the guilt of providing less for your family than you did as someone else's unsatisfied employee. What should you do?
