Machiavelli guides your relationships, sex work funds your freedom, but loneliness looms. Can calculating hearts learn to love? Welcome to Feedback Friday!

Jordan's must reads (including books from this episode): AcceleratEd Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1162 On This Week's Feedback Friday: Shiatsu on my shoulder makes me happy. What makes the difference between a storyteller and a snore yteller ? You're a trans woman with Machiavellian traits who craves intimacy but views relationships as cost-benefit transactions. After escaping an unhappy marriage, you're working at a brothel while running a business in rural Asia. Can someone who treats people like "toys" ever find genuine connection? Remember that emotional affair with your coworker Bob while you had a boyfriend in episode 1037 ? Well, life just served up a delicious plot twist: you landed your dream job only to discover you're now working directly with Bob's girlfriend. She wants to be best friends. What could possibly go wrong? You're a federal power plant operator facing potential job cuts under the new administration. They're offering a resignation package with continued pay through September, but there's a job opportunity in NYC. Do you hedge your bets or roll the dice on government stability? [Thanks to federal employment lawyer Justin Schnitzer for helping us with this one!] Recommendation of the Week: Wayfinders Gabe attended a two-day dance workshop involving forced vulnerability exercises, portal-walking declarations, and receiving roses for sharing your "truth." He proclaimed "I am available" and felt like he failed at emotional openness. Did the workshop miss the mark, or was he too defended to benefit?

Undercover work is psychological warfare in designer jeans. Ex-cop Tegan Broadwater explains how authenticity beats acting when lives are on the line. [Pt. 2/2 — Find Pt. 1/2 here !] Jordan's must reads (including books from this episode): AcceleratEd Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1161 What We Discuss with Tegan Broadwater: How Tegan Broadwater went undercover and infiltrated the Crips gang for 18 months , working mostly off-the-books without proper backup or supervision. What happened when Tegan discovered a corrupt police officer selling information to gang members and warning them of raids — while superiors ignored his detailed complaint and evidence. How budget constraints forced dangerous solo operations rather than proper surveillance teams , using a single patrol officer as backup via an open phone line. How Tegan's efforts successfully built a 51-person conspiracy case with FBI partnership , resulting in arrests averaging 19-year sentences and solving nine cold case murders. Why a focus on mentoring at-risk youth is society's best chance at breaking cycles of crime — supporting children of incarcerated parents through education, job skills, and positive role models creates lasting change.

Undercover work is psychological warfare in designer jeans. Ex-cop Tegan Broadwater explains how authenticity beats acting when lives are on the line. [1/2] Jordan's must reads (including books from this episode): AcceleratEd Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1160 What We Discuss with Tegan Broadwater: Drug enforcement is akin to treading water. Police work prevents drug problems from worsening rather than eliminating them, putting officers at extreme risk just to maintain the status quo. Undercover cops never use drugs. Officers use clever tactics like fake courthouse visits to build street credibility without compromising their cases or health through actual drug use. Gang operations are surprisingly business-like. Crips run complex enterprises with rental properties, specialized roles, and supply chains, though internal conflicts limit their effectiveness. Trust is the currency of illegal business. When drug dealers invite outsiders to their houses, it represents a major security breach and indicates significant trust in their criminal relationships. Authenticity beats acting under pressure. An undercover agent needs to stay true to their core personality rather than adopting elaborate personas that fall apart under high-stress situations that might out them in the field.

1159: IQ Tests | Skeptical Sunday 55:48

6 днів тому55:48

55:48

Do IQ tests measure your fixed intellect, or is there more to the equation? Despite their dark history, Michael Regilio bears good news on Skeptical Sunday! Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by skeptic, comedian, and podcaster Michael Regilio ! Jordan's must reads (including books from this episode): AcceleratEd Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1159 On This Week's Skeptical Sunday: In 1927, the US Supreme Court supported forced sterilization of "feeble-minded" people based on IQ scores. Over 7,000 were sterilized in North Carolina alone. Nazi war criminals later cited American eugenics programs as inspiration. Early IQ tests asked about Edgar Allan Poe and bowling terminology. These measured cultural knowledge, not intelligence, disadvantaging anyone without specific educational or social backgrounds. This could mean the difference between becoming an officer or cannon fodder in WWI. Researcher James Robert Flynn determined that IQ scores have risen three points per decade throughout the 20th century. But contrary to claims made in the 1994 book The Bell Curve , this "Flynn effect" isn't due to evolution or genetics, but factors like better nutrition, cleaner water, smaller families, and more cognitively demanding environments. ChatGPT scores 99.9th percentile verbally but fails simple logic puzzles humans solve instantly. This demonstrates how intelligence isn't a single number — it's more like a jazz ensemble where mathematical reasoning, emotional intelligence, creativity, and street smarts all play different instruments. Trying to capture that symphony with one test is like describing a rainbow using only numbers. IQ tests aren't worthless — they're just misunderstood. Use them as diagnostic tools, not destiny predictors. Low pattern recognition score? Practice puzzles. Weak verbal reasoning? Read more complex texts. Identify specific cognitive areas to strengthen rather than accepting a single number as your limit. Your IQ isn't your written-in-stone fate — it's your starting coordinates on an infinitely expandable map of human potential. Connect with Jordan on Twitter , Instagram , and YouTube .

Your mom built a thriving manufacturing empire from the ashes of debt, but now your sister and niece are treating it like their personal ATM while threatening employees who dare speak up. You've gathered evidence of their financial misconduct and assembled a team to remove them. Can you pull off this corporate coup? Your ex-husband's girlfriend kicks him out at 3 a.m., makes him drive two hours to babysit her kids, then accuses him of ruining their lives — and he keeps going back. Despite being good friends with your ex, your attempts to help him see the dysfunction have failed. How do you save someone from their own toxic cycle? Your friends bought your business, immediately got hit with $30K in bank fraud , and now Bank of America says "Sorry, you didn't catch it in 24 hours." Do small businesses have any recourse when big banks play dirty? You've been focused on your career and building a business. Meanwhile, after 10 years together, your boyfriend's gotten messier, lazier, and won't talk finances. Are you wasting your prime years on someone who won't ever level up? Recommendation of the Week: American Hollow You conquered addiction, survived open-heart surgery, and rebuilt every burned bridge with your kids through consistent actions.

1157: Kelsey Grammer | Channeling Grief into Artistic Authenticity 50:50

9 днів тому50:50

Hollywood's Kelsey Grammer explains how his sister's brutal murder informed his iconic performances and offers wisdom on carrying life's heaviest losses. Jordan's must reads (including books from this episode): AcceleratEd Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1157 What We Discuss with Kelsey Grammer: Kelsey Grammer's sister Karen was abducted, raped, and murdered in 1975, a trauma that has shaped his entire life. He debunks the myth that time heals all wounds, revealing instead that grief becomes an imprint you learn to carry. The depth of Kelsey's life experiences gave his acting an "authority" that connected with audiences. His familiarity with tragedy provided emotional access that made characters like Frazier Crane authentically human. Despite decades as a household name, Kelsey only internalized his success "about two or three years ago" when someone called him a legend and he finally allowed himself to believe it. Kelsey candidly discusses his battles with addiction , particularly cocaine, reflecting on a friend's insight that "the cause of addiction is unresolved grief." Kelsey's memoir helped him rediscover his sister beyond her tragic end : "To remember somebody in the grace of the good that they left you is more important than the grief." A powerful reminder to honor both the loss and the joy of those we've loved. And much more... And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

All Gas No Brakes and Channel 5 documentarian Andrew Callaghan decodes the variables that have transformed American minds from rational to radical. Jordan's must reads (including books from this episode): AcceleratEd Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1156 What We Discuss with Andrew Callaghan: Conspiracy theories serve as collective self-soothing mechanisms in chaotic times. They provide the comforting illusion that someone has a plan when life feels out of control, offering simple answers to complex questions. Political radicalization often stems from unprocessed trauma. January 6th Capitol rioters weren't random — 60% had filed for bankruptcy, 20% lost homes, and 50% were in severe debt, channeling personal grievances into a spiritual war. Modern media thrives on micro-traumatic digital content that triggers cortisol through outrage. Both mainstream and alternative outlets deploy this tactic, explaining why casual podcasts now frequently outperform traditional news. Social media and technology addiction are creating profound disconnection. Andrew predicts Generation Alpha's children will likely rebel against technology, viewing phone use the way we now view cigarettes — as an obviously harmful habit. Community connection matters more than material success. The most resilient people aren't those with wealth or status but those with strong human bonds. Building genuine relationships with neighbors and friends creates a safety net for life's inevitable challenges. And much more...

Jordan's must reads (including books from this episode): AcceleratEd Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1155 On This Week's Feedback Friday: You fell for a charismatic nomad with a troubled past who seemed healthy when you met, but he's spiraled into cocaine addiction, extreme paranoia, and concerning behaviors like threatening violence against imagined rivals. He suspects you're cheating when you eat ice cream too quickly (!), and you're wondering how to help without enabling. Can love survive such toxic suspicion? You're a manager who's been secretly placed on a team that will reduce the workforce by 50%, all while your company celebrates record profits and expects you to share this good news with employees. You've signed a confidentiality agreement but worry about betraying the trust you've built. How do you sleep at night knowing what's coming? Your lifelong best friend is experiencing a series of legitimate crises and you've been their primary support. Their problems have become "life or death" situations that leave your nervous system shot and recovery time non-existent. You want to help without completely burning out. Is there a middle ground between abandonment and self-sacrifice? You've been thrust into managing contracts and vendor relationships after layoffs, despite having no procurement background. The workload has exploded, you're drowning in unfamiliar terminology, and fear asking too many questions might get you fired. With your husband unemployed, quitting isn't an option. How do you fake it until you make it? Recommendation of the Week: Quest Protein Chips Your adult children have moved 1,700 miles away to states with more affordable housing, leaving you grief-stricken despite their success. You've always been devoted to your own parents and expected the same in return, but now face the prospect of aging without nearby support.

Sean Williams gives us a peek beneath a global shadow economy that thrives as countries like North Korea and China operate like criminal enterprises. Jordan's must reads (including books from this episode): AcceleratEd Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1154 What We Discuss with Sean Williams: North Korea operates as a massive organized crime outfit , generating revenue through forced labor, human trafficking, drug production/trafficking, and cybercrime to fund the regime's survival. North Korean hackers (Lazarus Group) have become sophisticated cybercriminals , stealing $1.5 billion in cryptocurrency from ByBit exchange in February 2025. Chinese "flying money" (Fei Chen) operates as an ancient, untraceable money transfer system now widely used by drug cartels and for capital flight from China , possibly totaling $2 trillion annually. Chinese money laundering has had a visible impact on real estate markets in Vancouver, Toronto, Sydney, and Los Angeles, where properties purchased with laundered funds remain unfinished or abandoned. Despite public diplomatic cooperation between US and China on financial crimes, both countries have conflicting incentives — China benefits from US drug chaos while the US benefits from Chinese capital flight.

The Price Is Right host and comedy legend Drew Carey dishes on his journey from counting pennies in Cleveland to making millions in Hollywood! Jordan's must reads (including books from this episode): AcceleratEd Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1153 What We Discuss with Drew Carey: Drew Carey experienced extreme financial hardship before fame, counting pennies, putting only $2 of gas in his car at a time, and eating macaroni with water instead of milk because he couldn't afford both butter and milk. Drew's appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1991 was career-defining. He had visualized the entire sequence in real-time the night before, and it happened exactly as he'd dreamed it, including Carson's "You're funny as hell" comment. Comedians often become less funny as they get more successful because wealth insulates them from the everyday frustrations that fuel comedy. When you're rich, you lose touch with common annoyances that connect you to your audience. The "perfect bid" incident on The Price is Right wasn't cheating, but exposed how the show had become predictable. Super-fans memorized prices from the limited rotation of items, leading to changes in how the show operates. Growth mindset is essential for staying relevant and happy. Drew still attends EDM music festivals, keeps up with new slang, and constantly looks to learn and evolve: "Once you stop growing, that's the end of you." And much more...

Your friend visited you in New Orleans and spent 70% of the trip obsessively researching restaurant menus but ordered only basic food, ignored activities you suggested, and showed no interest in spending quality time together. She took snacks you bought and left you with Uber bills. Could her fixation be affecting the marriage in which her husband is sleeping in another room? You've trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu for years and supported your coach by paying dues even when you couldn't attend. When you tried to cancel your membership, your coach claimed there was a 10-day cancellation window not mentioned in your contract and became aggressive when you pushed back. How do you handle a potentially volatile martial arts instructor? Your son has shown challenging, aggressive behavior since childhood, yet excels professionally. He's made false accusations about your parenting, demanded you admit to things you didn't do to maintain a relationship with your grandchildren, and has shown concerning behavior in his marriage. How do you maintain a relationship with your grandchildren under these circumstances? Recommendation of the Week: The Beast Insulated Tumbler After writing in previously as a 35-year-old virgin, you dated someone for three months, had your first sexual experience, and though you broke up, you've maintained a genuine friendship.

Former healthcare executive Wendell Potter reveals how insurance giants sacrifice patient care for profits and deploy deceptive tactics to fight reform. Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1151 What We Discuss with Wendell Potter: Wendell Potter was a healthcare insurance executive at Cigna and Humana, and became a whistleblower after witnessing Americans seeking healthcare at a fairground in animal stalls , revealing how profit motives override patient care. Insurance companies prioritize shareholder value over patient needs, with executives compensated primarily in stock , directly incentivizing them to deny claims and care to maximize profits. Companies create "front groups" with misleading names like "Healthcare America" to manipulate public opinion against healthcare reform , using fear tactics to protect industry profits. When denied coverage, patients should appeal decisions, enlist their doctors' help, and consider becoming a "squeaky wheel" through media attention , as companies often reverse denials when facing public scrutiny. There is growing bipartisan support for healthcare reform and breaking up massive healthcare conglomerates. By understanding your rights, documenting communications, and persistently appealing denials, you can better navigate the system while supporting meaningful change. And much more...

1150: Randy Blythe | Making Peace with the Wars Inside His Head 1:49:28

From addiction to Czech prison: Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe shares his journey of sobriety and accountability in extreme metal's unforgiving world. Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1150 What We Discuss with Randy Blythe: In hindsight, Randy Blythe is grateful his metal band, Lamb of God , grew a gradual following over 30 years instead of catching instant fame and fortune. He credits this slow growth from humble beginnings for his survival, maintaining perspective and gratitude for the band's success. After battling alcoholism for 22 years, Randy made a life-saving choice in 2010 that he's maintained ever since: sobriety over ennui. In 2012, Randy was arrested in the Czech Republic on manslaughter charges after a fan died following a concert two years prior. Despite advice not to return, he chose to face trial to give the family answers and was eventually acquitted. Randy emphasizes the importance of regularly examining and questioning your own beliefs — despite how scary the answers you find might be. If you feel powerless and you're looking for a small way to have a big, positive impact on the world, Randy suggests joining the National Bone Marrow Registry (formerly Be The Match). It's free, only requires a simple cheek swab, and you could potentially save someone's life. Contributions are especially needed from underrepresented minority donors. And much more...

1149: Slavery | Skeptical Sunday 1:11:10

From Ancient Rome to the Antebellum South to modern Libya, Nick Pell unshackles the truth about slavery across human history on this Skeptical Sunday. Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell ! Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1149 On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss: Slavery has existed throughout human history across virtually all agricultural societies. The transatlantic slave trade represents just one episode in a long history of human bondage that continues today. The American Civil War wasn't primarily fought as a humanitarian mission to free slaves , but was a conflict between two economic systems: agricultural slavery in the South versus industrial free labor in the North. While the 13th Amendment technically abolished slavery and involuntary servitude in the United States after the Civil War, a loophole has been exploited to create a prison-industrial complex where private companies and government entities profit from cheap or unpaid prison labor. Modern slavery affects approximately 40-50 million people globally , with India having the highest number (11 million), followed by China and North Korea. These include debt bondage, forced labor, and human trafficking. We can help combat modern slavery by supporting reputable organizations working to free enslaved people. Sites like Charity Navigator can guide you to legitimate anti-slavery charities making a real impact in this continuing human rights struggle. Connect with Jordan on Twitter , Instagram , and 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!
