The Jordan Harbinger Show

Do divorced dads always lose the kids and half their stuff in court? On Skeptical Sunday, Nick Pell shares how he got 50-50 custody and child support!

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!

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

Family court's rep as a kangaroo court run by man-hating judges is a relic of the '80s. • Every state now has gender-neutral custody and child support laws, "best interests of the child" is the North Star, and effective 50-50 parenting is increasingly the norm — not the exception.
Accusations aren't evidence — and judges have heard them all before, probably that very morning. • Without receipts like police reports or documented incidents, divorce-day abuse claims rarely stick, and calling your ex an "abusive narcissist" may sink your credibility, not theirs.
The real villain isn't anti-father bias — it's billable hours. • A roughly $50 billion divorce industry rewards lawyers who stoke emotions and feed the sunk-cost fallacy, turning a few-grand, few-month settlement into a six-figure, two-year slog that bleeds everyone dry.
Many dads lose before the opening bell — they swallow the horror stories, panic at a bluffed custody evaluation, and fold. • Meanwhile, "family court reform" activists want allegations treated as true until proven false, flipping innocent-until-proven-guilty on its head.
How do you stand a chance at winning? Lawyer up fast, and pick one who favors a cooperative settlement over a bloodbath. Document everything, stay involved in your kid's life, and keep communication BIFF: brief, informative, factual, firm. Courts reward the calm adult in the room, so be that adult.Connect with Jordan • on

Is suing him for fraud worth the fight, or was this just the priciest date in history?You wrote in a while back about a rocky marriage and a spark with a woman from a conference in Indiana. • Now the fuller picture emerges — explosive rages, extreme OCD, counseling flatly refused — and divorce papers sit with your attorney.

1387: Romance in Rome Ends with Lien on Your Home | Feedback Friday

Russia's spy services are a bungling clown show that can still kill you anywhere. Here, ex-CIA officer Sean Wiswesser takes us inside Putin's secret war.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1386

What We Discuss with Sean Wiswesser:

Russian intelligence is a paradox. • It's comprised largely of bungling fools who siphon gas from their own surveillance cars and binge-watch 
The Sopranos • , yet they remain formidable adversaries. What makes them dangerous isn't competence but real capability paired with no moral limits and no accountability.
Corruption isn't a bug — it's the system. • Officers invent sources and pad reports with rewritten news to flatter the boss. That yes-man culture is how Putin was assured Ukraine would be a one-week war, now in its fifth year. A criminalized service takes reckless risks.
The most insidious threat isn't assassinations — it's information warfare. • What Russia did in 2016 is now amplified thousands-fold by AI, and it targets American youth to erode their faith in democracy itself. The one thing democracy asks of us is an informed public.
The West is fighting a hybrid war it won't name • , with severed undersea cables, a targeted German CEO, teenagers hired on Telegram for sabotage, and drones over Poland. Deterrence without consequences invites more, and Sean warns the Baltics are likely next after any Ukraine ceasefire.
Democracy runs on an informed public, so you are the defense. • Slow down, resist reacting to clickbait on emotion, and check sources before you share. And if anyone ever tries to compromise or coerce you, report it — silence is the only leverage they hold.
 • And much more...

1386: Sean Wiswesser | Inside Putin's Russian Intelligence Machine

The map says oasis; the aisles say Doritos. This Skeptical Sunday, Jessica Wynn explains why grocery stores failed to fix how low-income neighborhoods eat.

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 Jessica Wynn!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1385

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

A 'food desert' is the USDA's label for a low-income neighborhood where hundreds of people live over a mile from a large grocery store — too far, the theory goes, so they eat worse. • Build a store and diets improve. Yet billions of dollars later, most residents were already driving past one to shop elsewhere.
Distance was never the driver — equalizing access and prices closes just nine to ten percent of the diet gap. • The rest is preference, and preference isn't fixed taste; it's learned from culture, marketing, price, and stress. West Harlem got a great supermarket 15 years ago, yet obesity stayed high.
The same government building stores to fix diets spends roughly $9 billion a year subsidizing crops like corn and soy — the raw material for syrup, seed oils, and cheap meat. Fresh produce gets under ten percent. • No wonder a pint of blueberries costs more than a family-size bag of Blue Takis.
The sharper problem isn't the desert but the swamp — neighborhoods saturated with fast food, dollar stores, and junk promotions. • Counties with the worst swamp scores saw 77% higher obesity-related cancer deaths. A store can even be a mirage: it's there, but the shelves are mostly Doritos.
You can't buy health by proximity, but you can build it through knowledge. Don't abandon the food you love; adjust it. Swap corn oil for olive, tweak a method, make one familiar dish a little healthier. Preference is learned, which means it can be relearned, starting now.Connect with Jordan • on

On This Week's Feedback Friday:

At 42, a British dad with a young daughter, you fell hard and fast for an incredible American woman — hours of video calls, a magical weekend in London, whole futures sketched out. Then her dream job landed and her aging parents' pull won out, and she ended it. • You cut off all contact. 
Did fear decide too soon?Your daughter arrived a couple months ago, and so did a familiar problem: your overbearing mother, who kisses the baby after you begged her not to, drops by unannounced, and insists "there are no boundaries." • A book finally named the childhood wound behind it. Now 
how do you set limits that actually stick?You became a committed Christian and joined a tiny, tight-knit church — half of them one family — but the sexual double entendres, lap-sitting, and playful kissing leave you uneasy in a house of worship. • Leadership just says show grace. 
Is this a culture clash, or a sign your values no longer fit?Recommendation of the Week: No Country for Old Men • — Jordan rewatched the Coen brothers' Cormac McCarthy adaptation and was floored all over again by their restraint, ambiguity, and mastery. His broader rec is basically the whole Coen catalog, from 
Fargo • to 
Inside Llewyn Davis • . These dudes rarely miss.
At 35, single, an embryologist with a shrimp tank and a stable career, you took a trip to Costa Rica and cried on the plane home, never feeling more at home anywhere. • Now you're eyeing visas, a possible PhD, a whole new life. Is it too late, or 
are you just trading comfort for something braver? • Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

1384: Have You Lost Chance at Transatlantic Romance? | Feedback Friday

We're apes stuck in a zoo of our own design. Christopher Ryan, author of Civilized to Death, reveals what modern life is really doing to us.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1383

What We Discuss with Chris Ryan:

Civilization loves writing its own Yelp reviews — the story that it saved us from lives that were nasty, brutish, and short is propaganda. • We never doubled the human lifespan either; a wave of child deaths dragged the average down, while hunter-gatherer adults routinely reached their seventies.
Many of the problems civilization brags about solving, it created. • Contaminated water, crushed teeth, and the plagues bred by crowding and livestock all arrived with us. It's like lighting your house on fire, then showing up with a bucket and expecting thanks.
Pick the yardstick and you win the argument — so we count GDP, tennis rackets, and mango slicers instead of loneliness, chronic pain, and despair. • By honest measures, record anxiety and suicide among the young point to a culture built for commercial interests, not human ones.
Agriculture wasn't a triumphant invention — it was an emergency irrigation fix during drought that ratcheted into a trap. • Surplus grain needed storing, storing needed guarding, guards needed bosses, and the cascade rolled on to taxation, hierarchy, patriarchy, and slavery.
The good thing is that none of this is destiny, and, for the first time in human history, we can choose how we live. This week, shrink your world to human scale: learn your neighbors' names, get into nature, share the caregiving, and find work that feels more like play. Helping others is the oldest cure. • And much more...

1383: Christopher Ryan | The Dark Side of Civilization and Progress

Digital feudalism or Star Trek at warp factor 9? The Last Economy author Emad Mostaque lays out the two futures toward which AI is racing us.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1382

What We Discuss with Emad Mostaque:

How AI's real disruption arrives long before it achieves sci-fi superintelligence. • Emad's test is whether a digital twin can do a standard white-collar job remotely, at the same level, with no one able to tell it from the human. At the time of this interview, his 1,000-day clock now reads 684.
Why cost is the tipping point • : a humanoid robot renting near $1.50 an hour, digital workers replacing costly graduates, and AI that thinks roughly a thousand times faster, never sleeps, and won't repeat a mistake, out-competing any all-human firm.
What happens when capital makes more capital without workers. • Wealth concentrates around whoever owns the GPUs and robots, abundance registers as catastrophe, and the likely responses — debt jubilees, UBI, or civil insurrection — reshape income and ownership.
Why ownership may matter more than intelligence itself. • If the AI teaching kids, advising doctors, and interpreting law belongs to a government or a few unelected firms, digital feudalism looms, sharpened by super-persuader models that detect lies and steer choices.
How to stay ahead: become AI-enabled now. Learn how these systems work, be the person bringing them into your organization, or use them to launch something of your own, while pushing for a future where people own intelligence aligned to human flourishing. • And much more...

1382: Emad Mostaque | Surviving the Coming AI Jobs Apocalypse

The housing crisis is real, but the villain isn't the one you think. Nick Pell nails down the real culprits here 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 writer and researcher Nick Pell!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1381

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

The villain behind the housing affordability crisis isn't BlackRock. • The scare stat that private equity owns 20% of single-family homes? The Urban Institute — a left-leaning shop — clocks it under 4%. Even grandpa renting out a condo counts as an "investor." Aim your outrage at the right enemy.
Before a single plank of wood gets nailed, regulations bake about 24% into a new home's price — roughly $94,000 nationally, north of $150K in California. • It's effectively illegal to build a genuinely cheap house, and almost nobody is protesting that.
Golden handcuffs froze the market: why trade a 3% mortgage for a 6% one? • Owners now sit tight a record 11 years, the listings that exist cluster between $750K and $1 million, and the starter home you could actually afford never reaches the market.
The other culprit is your neighbor Greg, who treats vinyl siding as a war crime. • Mandated gables, brick on all four sides, half-acre lots, mature trees — pure aesthetics, zero safety — heap tens of thousands onto every build and quietly outlaw the starter home.
The empowering truth is that scarcity is a policy choice, so it's reversible — and the decisive fights are local. Show up to the city-council meetings you've been skipping. And credit is more fixable than you'd guess — Nick raised his 120 points in a year just paying down debt.Connect with Jordan • on

1380: Is Victim at Fault for Scopolamine Assault? | Feedback Friday

Convinced you missed your shot at getting rich? Historian and former broke professor Joseph Moore is here to explain why it's never been easier.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1379

What We Discuss with Joseph Moore:

The "American Dream is dead" cry is 300 years old. • Colonists burned their own capital over it in 1676, long before the phrase existed. A despair industrial complex profits by telling you the game is rigged, because doom earns the clicks, votes, and tenure that good news won't.
Getting ahead has never been easier — not easy, not fair, just easier. • Six in 10 born in the bottom fifth climb out, one in 10 reach the top, and both wages and purchasing power beat what they were at your birth. Your ancestors would have prayed for these odds.
Real wealth is built in slow time. • Movies and headlines sell the dramatic version, so we chase crypto and sports betting for a fast-time win. That's not how fortunes are made.
Budgeting, index funds, and skipping avocado toast protect wealth but rarely build it — that's just solving your own problems. • You get wealthy solving other people's, taking risks others avoid, and moving toward opportunity. And no "timeless" money advice is timeless; it keeps changing.
The best slow-time move you can make this week is to invest in yourself. A course, certificate, or skill that lifts your earning power can double or triple your income, outpacing any index fund. Believe you can, then take the risk. It's always been possible. • And much more...

1379: Joseph Moore | Why Getting Ahead Has Never Been Easier

Charles Koch is the CEO of Koch Industries, one of the largest privately held American companies. Brian Hooks is the CEO of philanthropic community Stand Together. Together, they wrote Believe in People: Bottom-Up Solutions for a Top-Down World.

What We Discuss with Charles Koch and Brian Hooks:

 • In what ways is our world "top-down," and 
what are "bottom-up" solutions? • 

 • 
Should corporations with unfathomably deep coffers be allowed to contribute so much money to the political process • and crafting of policies that affect us all?

 • In recent years, 
what problems have warranted Charles' collaboration with figures from the "other" side of the political spectrum • (like George Soros -- who is vilified by the right for contributing to Democratic initiatives just as Charles is vilified by the left for his contributions to Republican causes)?

 • 
Good profit versus bad profit • , and why making money should be a side-effect of creating mutual value, not the goal itself.

 • 
How does Charles answer detractors who say Koch Industries is only in favor of government deregulation and pushing climate change denial so it can pollute with reckless abandon for maximum profits • at the expense of the world's poorest?

 • And much more...
