Sipping on my big thirsty, not to be confused with a big gulp. Big Thirsty is at Chevron's, I think. It didn't say on there. Big Thirsty. I'm big old guy, but I'll take what I can get. You know? You feel me? How's the weekend, boys? Awesome. Golf? 10 out of 10 weekend. 10 out of 10? Yeah. 10 out of 10 weekend. I had a nice one myself, Chin. Good. Camping, fishing with friends. Camping, fishing, friends. That's usually the the regular for each in. Yeah. Try. You excited about Alaska? What do you think, dude? Have you looked into it? Of course. Grizzly beers up the wazoo. We'll be in a boat. We'll be fine. Yeah. That's what they tell you. I'll throw Brian over the over the side just to get us, you know? Yeah. He's lived a long life. He'd take one for the team, feed him little appetizer. They'd eat his a*s up real quick. Yeah. Busy weekend myself. Kiddos had baseball all freaking weekend. When you sign up for Little League, you don't realize it is a commitment. I love it. Nothing better. I absolutely love it. My son had a day. My word did he have a day. Best game he's ever played. Because in this league, he he can only pitch because they're 8 and under, so he can only pitch for 2 innings. So he pit he's he pitched 2 innings, 6 strikeouts. So 6 up, 6 down. No hits, no hitter, no runs. That's how we do. He's like Ohtani, but Mexican. And then, he hit a home run, and then he played catcher. And at at 8, this is rare. Then he threw a kid out from home plate to 2nd. I mean, and then he was short stop and then had, just this diving catch to get one of the last outs. The dude balled out. His uncle was there, his grandma, grandpa, and he just really showed out. I was proud of him. Balled out, and the bossy had his game right after. I was there all day, all freaking day. We started the show late today because, I have an issue with the lightning. I have an issue I have an issue with lightning. I gotta go straight between shows and, meet my buddy, Jose, who works on lightning's. Might be a fuel pump problem case. Still? I think so. We'll see. I thought we fixed that. I thought so too, dude. That's the life of modding. It's tough to tell what exactly the problem is. Yeah. Frustrating. It's been running fine. Then I put it on some carjacks, and I lifted the rear end up, and I think I knocked something loose. I'll be honest. It's all on me. It happened. I guess it happens. It's very frustrating. We'll figure it out though. Some must come in hot. It's hot out today. It was hot out yesterday. Fight wise, well, we had 301, and, you know, this is the residue of, big cards and 299300. And this is how it always goes. Everyone's like, oh, this card sucks. Blah blah blah. It's not as good as 300, 299. Of course, it's not, but it it delivered. There's I mean, for the most part, it delivered. Were some people walking out through the main event? Yes. Okay? They're flyweights, so that happens. You know, he was really even though Pantosha was defending his title here and for the first time in Brazil, which is a big deal, he's faced the number 10 guy, which was a good fight. Steve, Ursig made some mistakes. You tell you don't have the experience. His game plan, some of the times when he shot in and created these, you know, transitions and and and ended up on bottom. It it was just he he could've won that fight, but, he didn't. He made some critical errors, just like your boy Vitor Petrino did as well with Anthony Smith, which we'll get to. But even though Pantoja was the headliner, the real headliner was Jose Aldo. And boy, did he show out. Jose Aldo passed the test. And I don't think the UFC thought this fight was gonna go this way. I don't think they really care, but I think they're trying to get Jonathan Martinez over. He's the young prospect, monster. He's been doing work, you know, younger guy. Not an ideal fight for Jose Aldo even though it's in Brazil. Jose Aldo was supposed to fight Dominic Cruz, so they put in, Johnson Martinez, and they wanted to use the shine of, you know, the king of Rio to put, Johnson Martinez over, as they say in professional wrestling. And Jose Aldo had different plans. He looked fantastic. He won all 3 rounds easy. The judges got this one right. 3027 across the board there. And it was Jose Aldo's night. The crowd, by far, the biggest applause. Everyone was there. Matter of fact, when after his fight, some people left. I know a lot of the fighters left. I I heard the arena wasn't that full. Even though they said it was 4 they sold 14,000, I heard the take was pretty they're, like, 2 for 1 and stuff like that. So, you know, that's what you get when you put on a card like this. But Jose Aldo looked fantastic. It's also should note that that was Jose Aldo. They offer him a contract extension. Thought I was gonna sneeze. They offered him a contract extension. He turned it down and was like, nope. I'll just find out my contract. And they usually give you a very difficult fight, which they did in Jonathan Martinez, but they didn't realize that Jose Alba has a lot of juice left in the tank and knocked out their young lion. So he fought out his contract, which is always dicey. We saw Francis do it. We've seen a number of guys do it. It blows up in their face. For Jose Aldo, who's a legit UFC Hall of Famer, he's already in the Hall of Fame, it was a smart choice. I think he does resign with UFC. Where else would you go? You go to p f PFL? Could they pay him more, maybe? They might do that. Fight people that we don't know and maybe win a $1,000,000, but, you know, you're just fighting Never Man's Land and nobody's watching. I think for him, he's gonna try and do a hybrid deal to remain in the UFC. He wants to box too. I don't see think the UFC would be too happy about that, but I do think eventually, he'll come back to the UFC. I don't think he resigned to another MMA organization. I think he's gonna go try his hand at boxing. I think, you know, they've talked about a Floyd Mayweather fight for him. He's too small for the the Paul brothers. There's some other stuff he can do out there, but I do think eventually Jozano resigns with the UFC after he gets done with whatever he wants to do in boxing. Anthony Smith, Vitor Petrino. Another one. Anthony Smith, fighting a young lion. This Vitor guy is a complete f**king Brazilian savage and his they brought it up on the broadcast. His experience, his lack of experience showed. Mhmm. Shoots in just for a wild double leg, with his neck exposed and Anthony Smith chokes him unconscious. And that is his first loss ever. He's undefeated. And the the only way he was gonna the only way he can learn is, you know, making these mistakes. Is he still, you know, a talented prospect? Of course. But he fought a a savvy veteran. You know, as Anthony Smith said, there are levels to this game and Vitor learned that the hard way. Shot in a s**tty shot, exposed his neck. And when a guy's undefeated like that, of course, he thinks he can do get away with anything, but you're gonna learn. These vets look for that stuff, and Anthony Smith looked for that. Got it done. He thinks he has a run left in him. I don't know. He could, especially at light heavyweight. Any of the other divisions, like, outside of heavyweight, like, if this is middleweight, welterweight, 155, 145, welterweight, 170, 135, not a chance. At his age, no. Not a chance. But light heavyweight, I don't get why everyone's hating on him. But everyone's like, oh, that's so ridiculous. How? How? He's had a big win over a prospect, gets another win. We're talking Matthew Smith fighting for a title. It's not that crazy. Could definitely do it at his age. It's not that wild. Again, at these heavyweight class, you can get away with that. The lighter ones, not a f**king chance, but it with this, 100%. The Michelle Pierre, he did his thing. What's he want? 7 in a row now? Since moving up to middleweight? I can't believe he's a 1 7 here when he's seen my middleweight. Like, how in the world? 7 in a row. 7 in a freaking row, dude. He fought Diego Sanchez. Take that in. He fought Diego f**king Sanchez. Drink that engine. Drinking it. Drink it in, dude. That is wild. Yeah, dude. 7 in a row. Cesar, he got rear naked, 3 4 decisions, bro. That's not gonna win you any fun things. And then he got, 5 the Night with a split decision over Pontonibio. Javier Petroski, he that's it. Return back to middleweight, performance of the night. Then he won again, rear naked choke, performance of the night in Miami, and that was UFC 299. He looked great on that. And then, he had a big win over the guy who took out Shogunn. Fans root for him. Another guillotine choke performance of the night. I'm surprised that you did you look at the bonuses? The UFC didn't give Jose Aldo a performance bonus. Should've resigned. That's what they do. They're like, okay. No. We're not giving you any favors. It's not happening. Even though you've done so much for us, one of the greatest of all time, king of Rio, No. No. No. Not happening. It's time for Pierre to fight some good competition though. It's go time. Paul Craig. God, man. That was a tough one. Yeah. Beat up pretty bad. They could have stopped that one earlier. Oh, our boy, Jack Shore. Do you see this? That was a weird stoppage, John. Wild. Mhmm. So if for those of you that didn't watch it, even though this one was free on the prelims if you have ESPN plus, but our boy, Jack Shore, who we absolutely love from Wales, shout out to Jack Shore, Jackie Shore. Jackson Shore as I like to call him here in America. Jackson Shore, his leg started bleeding. He had a contusion and then a open cut in his shin. The doctor comes in, shoves his finger into the cut, and goes, how do you feel? And Jack's like, yeah. I'm good. Let's continue fighting. He goes, nope. It's a fracture. Jack's like, I don't think so. They tell him it's a fracture. He leaves there. He goes to the hospital. They go, no fracture. It's just an open wound. And and this is the problem when you have a doctor with 0 fight experience. I assume he has no fight experience. These guys are not like others. They're gonna continue to fight. You get because when you take away a win from a fighter, it is devastating. It sets them back exponentially. It and not only that, it's also half their pay. So if you're just gonna which is wild to assume it's a fracture. It's so wild. The final year is, no. I think I'm good, and he'll, no. I think it's a fracture, and you have no clue. Wouldn't you rather lay on the side of, alright. Let's let it go a little longer. If it's fractured, there's no way he's gonna be able to perform, and then he falls down, and then he can stop it. Because when when you do this, that awful stoppage, when you do this, it screws the fighter over, man. Mhmm. Again, you wouldn't continue to fight as the doctor. You would never. These guys are not built like you. These guys do not think like you do. So you're bringing these civilian, layman kind of values on these fighters. They're not like you. You gotta let Jackson Shore continue to fight. You f**ked him, dude. You screwed him. And now, back to the drawing board. It sucks, and you got half his pay, because you thought it was fractured. But you also, sitting in the air conditioned office Monday through Friday and look at sick people, and push agendas on them and prescriptions and vaccines. And he just caused this kid a huge fight. Yeah. Just just caused a huge you know, caused him to lose a huge fight, and now he's back to the queue. f**k them. I I did hear, like, an argument from either Kenny Florian Love to hear it. So I I they said that if there was one argument for it, it's because it was bleeding so bad. It was, like, an open wound that something about yeah. It's like staph, like bacteria, like, something getting worse, but even if Jack wants to continue and he's It's on him? Yeah. It's not a broken leg. You've already allowed this grown man to enter a steel cage in his underwear and fight for a living. So all of a sudden, we're worried about this? If you know cuts all the time and get All the time. So I don't yeah. I don't know. All the time. And wouldn't you be more worried if because have we ever seen this in when the the cuts on the face? You're more likely to get bacteria or staph in the face on those cuts on the head when they're rubbing their heads against the other canva*s. You would be in in the canvas than the leg. So that that argument's out the window. Yeah. This shouldn't have been stopped without a doubt. Stupid. Screws Jackson. Screws Jackson Shore, unique name. But the card the card was fun. Overall, the card was fun. Mauricio Ruffy verse, Jamie Malarkey. That was tough one. I'm a Malarkey fan. He got his a*s whooped. Everyone's saying that the Ruffy guy is like, the next Conor McGregor, the way he fights. Big deal. Yeah. Stud. Alright, guys. Let's take a little break because as a kid, I love me some cards. My word. One time, I opened up a pack. I got a Christian Laettner rookie card and Shaquille O'Neal, rookie card. My brother got nothing. He beat me up. And even after he beat me up, I was such a nice brother. I gave him the Shaquille O'Neal rookie card. And boy, was that a mistake. I also got a Ryan Leaf rookie card in Peyton Manning. Gave my brother Peyton Manning, kept the Ryan Leaf. I'm bad at picking, who's gonna be studs and who's not. We teamed up with Arena Club, and we're introducing Slap Packs from arenaclub.com.

Yeah, yeah, that, dude, it was a, what is that? It's a $150 weekend, plus I paid 500 for a f**king mariachi band. Oh, he's talking about the Canela fight. Oh, dude. My because my girl's from Canela's hometown. So they have to get the pay per views. Dude, to charge $90 for a Canelo fight is wild. $90? And there's legit people that were there before the main event, the the in the the undercard, maybe 15 people in the crowd, maybe 20. As soon as Canelo walks out, it fills in. That's boxing. Mhmm. They just do it different than we do. Canelo is come it was a competitive fight the first 3, 4 rounds, and Canelo dropped his a*s. Kid's never been dropped. Young kid, I think he's 26, 27, 43 and o. Yep. 43 and o. Fighting Canelo, who has, what's that, 63, 65, 65 fights. And Quenal's only 33, man. I can't imagine Quenal has too many fights left, maybe 2 big boys. If it's up to me, I would do I mean, and definitely not up to me. I would do, Canelo versus Benavides and then Canelo verse Crawford? Crawford. Big boy fights. Does he do any of those? Oof. Tough. Bambidas is a mother trucker. You know? But the fight, it's like he dropped them with that uppercut. Kid's never been dropped. Kid tough as nails. What's weird is Canelo's booed entering the ring. Dude. And it was definitely a Mexican crowd because for, Munguia, you know, there so Munguia's from Tijuana. Canelo's from where my girl's from? And Guadalajara? Guadalajara. So it's like Guadalajara would be like Calabasas and Tijuana where Mungi is from would be like South Central. So you have 2 conflicting fan bases and they're and Mungio, it was pro Mungio, but by the end, everyone was all good. It's Mexia, Mexicribe there. So Mexicans won. They were good. But it do you watch the fights? It's like, alright. I guess I'll watch this. You know? Because after the 4th round, not a ton going on. Not a ton. I honestly didn't I just saw the highlights, but then I heard that, Canelo kinda gassed out a little bit too near the end. No. I wouldn't say gassed out. He just was a it he didn't take a ton of risk. You know? He definitely won the fight easily. But those first four rounds, you could give 3 to 1 to Munguia. But then after that, it was just an onslaught by Canelo, and he dropped them bad with an uppercut. But, yeah, it wasn't. There has never been a world title fight featuring 2 Mexican born fighters above a £160. Wow. Yeah. Big deal. Not a mariachi band. And I worked on a Ford Lightning. Pretty Mexican, dude. Very Mexican. One quick one just to go over. So Smeela Sandel from 1 championship, she had fought Natalia Dyashkova, I believe it Which wasn't the plan. Homegrown miss Wade, yeah. Miss Wade, and the thing the problem with Smeela is, like, she's a badass, but she she started when she was, like, 14 or something, like, really young, and she's growing. So it's it's just tougher and tougher to to make the weight class, so she's asking one to, you know, make a higher weight class so she can fight. But for now, she has to, like, keep cutting like crazy. It's tough. But she won, like, pretty devastatingly with a body shot and then he just walked in on a f**king day's notice and got her a*s beat. So it goes. And the girl who missed weight, she missed it by how not a crazy amount. Right? No. Girl, you better shave your head. Whatever it takes. I'm not even saying that because she looks like the Stranger Things girl too. So people were saying like Shave your head. Shave your head. Yeah. Get your rose on. Better make that weight. But, yeah, 1 championship did their thing. Yeah. It's hard to feed the other undefeated cat. Oh, yeah. Connor and, yeah. Yeah. So that's okay. There's a there's quite a big, like, a Newsweek this week. So Conor McGregor out of nowhere, once okay. So the main thing we're here is Ryan Garcia. I guess his test came back from before his fight and the Davis fight, and he got popped for 2 things, right? So, one's Osterine, which is a SARM, and then the other one was like metabolites of nandrelin, which is actual steroid, like a real steroid. So they're testing the b samples to find out what, you know, if it's legit, but so after that happened, Connor It's like a trace amount. Right? Yeah. Very, very it's just the metabolites of it. What's weird is Connor going to Adam because they're boys. Yeah. We know what's going on. Right, guys? Yeah. That's right. I'm always saying that now. You're crazy if you don't think Connor texts Ryan before. Yeah. Let's do it. Was like, yo, let's sell this thing. We're both gonna make a s**t ton of money. And Ryan's like, I don't give a s**t fire away. And this is what we're getting. Yeah. He just said it was a fight with Ryan because he has one fight left in the UFC probably. Or just him for them He wins it, maybe 2, and then it just sets a fight with him and Ryan. Ryan's entertaining these MMA crossovers. He's called out Sugarshan, Connor. You know, he's down. You know, the reason I feel like that may not be the case is because Connor also went at, Suga for popping for the same thing, didn't he? Yeah. But I I do think that that it's like a a game plan. I think it's Connor taking over the narrative too. Connor's the best at it. The very best. Like, you're almost talking about Ryan. Connor takes over. Everyone's talking about insert name. Connor takes over. And Sean's like with what One of the, if not one of the biggest right now in in UFC too. So And Ryan called out, Sugar. Sean. Yeah. So, I mean, Connor's like, no. No. No. I'm still the top dog. That's all he's doing. He's just sunning these boys. But he went like super hard. Super hard in the on the He only goes one way. Mhmm. If you've been in there, like, oh, I will fight you. You let you steroid. People, like, what? So he goes hard in the paint. The last line is Last one's tough. Yeah. Last one is where I can. Can we not add that in all caps? Get your head together or I'll kill or kill yourself. That's intense. Well, the guy that has obviously opened up about his mental issues. Yeah. It's a lot. I see Carm McGregor. I'm gonna break your weak a*s ankle. You ran from being tested because you're on roids. Roadhouse or roid rage? You should've said roid house instead of roid rage. Fudge, Connor, c**k, hot brain. See, I see, I would have deleted both of their, the last time that they did both. Connor's is like, woah, kill yourself. Let's pull back. That's cool. Yeah. And then fudge Connor caca brain. Are you 7? c**k up brain. Yeah. They they were they were going at it, but just those last sentences don't work for me. All they're doing is setting this up. It's brilliant by Connor. But yeah, don't tell people to kill themselves, Connor. Okay. Last week we talked about Jon Jones and that and Meguru guy, so Jon Jones actually responded to him or just made the statement about him. You know, it's crazy that we live in a world where influencers can persuade the minds of boys on the internet, literally some random loser with a microphone in his basement. People just say anything they want these days off. I find it fascinating. Yeah. And he said, like, you know, he could keep talking. It just puts my name out there even more. Makes me bigger. So at least he didn't threaten a lawsuit or anything like that. No. And John has been very vocal lately about okay. So first thing he wrote was, who would you guys want me to fight the most, Alex or Tom? Alex Paredo or Tom Aspinall? What's wild is he has a fight with none of those guys. So let's And he knows it. Okay. And he, like, he and he he knows that literally, I was reading his tweets on Twitter. There's x on x. He was saying, Dana gave me an official date. Mhmm. I'll wait for the UFC to announce it soon. It's not against Alex or Tom Acenal, which it should be. It's against Stipe that nobody wants. And that's not a knock on Stipe. I love Stipe. But just no one, like, wants this. And then Ruben Carter, the real, Ruben King at real Ruben King put Jon Jones for Verstibe is officially signed for UFC 307, which we're on 301 now. That puts what? Mid late? Well, late this year? I'll look up the actual date, but but but even John's, like, not talking about Stipe. He's just I and he's kinda only doing for his resume, I guess, to be taken as the greatest of all time, which even if he lost to Stipe, he still is. But it's just strange, isn't it? Mhmm. Like, no one's talking about Steve Bay. The fan base has said, hey, we'd rather you fight Alex or more so people when you fight him to fight Tom Aspinall. He knows this and yet he still pushes the when I say pushes, he still agrees to fight Stipe. Even though even he's not he's talking about 2 other gentlemen that he's not fighting. It's very strange, right? John Tom's the f**king fight, dude. Mhmm. Tom Alex is massive. That'd be fun. If Alex P became champion of the heavyweight division, would you guys consider him the GOAT? I don't that's a I mean, it's a lot to get into. There's definitely an argument. First time ever, 3 Yeah. Belt champion, 3 different weight classes, but he's done in, what, 8, 9 fights? His resume is pretty damn impressive. Look at me champions he's fought. You actually think me fighting Tom would be more massive than Alex? Yeah. That's but and I colliding. Obviously, you're colliding. Tom only matters in the UK news flash. Alex is one of the most polarizing figures the sport has seen. Tom's a contender who won a belt against another contender. We had to save Mes Square Garden's main event. I'm thinking dollar signs, legacy, big picture here. Now what UK fans are dying to see, literally just went through this with the French fans. It's referring to Cyrille Gane. I mean, is Tom Aspinall as big as, Alex Pierrette? No. Fame wise? No. But Tom's a legit heavyweight and the whatever you wanna call it, he's the interim champ. That's the most important part. He's in your weight cla*s. That's the most important part. Alex, it's a stretch. To John's defense, if he says, I'm thinking dollar signs, then Alex is the fight. If he's thinking legacy and big picture, then Tom's the fight. Mhmm. So it's 2 different things. I mean, take my money on all of them. I I don't know. Is John say because it sounds like he doesn't he doesn't wanna fight all 3 of them. Sounds like it's Stipe, then either Alex or Tom, and he's leaning towards Alex. Yeah. But I don't get like, as far as the goat argument, think if he beat Stipe and he's gonna be favored in all these except for the Tom fight. Notice he's not really talking a lot about Tom. So he'd be pretty significantly favored over Stipe, over Alex Pierra, and probably not against Tom. But if you wanna talk about GOAT, imagine if you beat all 3 of those guys. There's no there's no I don't think there's a conversation now that John's the GOAT, but if you had an argument, if he beat Alex, Tom, and Stipe, case solved. But I mean Case closed, I should say. His plan did his plan is probably the best plan. Right? Because he has a better chance of beating Stipe, a better chance of beating Alex, and then the last The toughest fight is the this is what sucks. The toughest fight is the one that's gonna draw the least amount of eyeballs, but it's the most merited fight too for his legacy. Yeah. Just it's interim versus champion. That's what I'm saying for his legacy if that's what he wants to talk about. But as far as number wise, Alex number 1, Stipe number 2. Actually, I think Alex number 1, Tom number 2, Stipe number 3. Nobody wants the Stipe fight. O'Reilly Auto Parts. Oh, oh, O'Reilly. They're in the business of keeping your car on the road.

I couldn't find an actual date on it. We don't have well, no. Because UFC only goes up to what right now? It's at 301 right now. So 302, 303 we have. Well, you mean, actually you'll see website? Yeah. What's what's it go up to? Let's see. We can take a guess. I'd say 304. No. Damn. They have 305. It skipped 306. But 308 in October. 305 is in August August, September So John versus Steve would be in September I can't believe UFC drops all the way to 308. That's cool. I mean, there's nothing there now. I know, but at least we know the dates. Yeah. Boy, 304, 305, and then 308 are all international fights. You have Perth, Australia. You have Abu Dhabi for 308. Fight night, Abu Dhabi go up. Manchester is 304, And 3 zero three is Connor and Chan Connor and, Chandoria. Wow. Okay. They put anybody else on that 303? In Vegas, I would assume John and Stipe 307. That's definitely America. So you got, Connor, Chandler, Jamal Hill, Cleo Rountree, Kupp Swanson, Feely, Phil Pfeiffer. Okay. We still gotta build that card. It's looking tasty though, but it's not a full pay per view yet. What else you got, Jen? Let's see. Oh, this one. So this is before Anthony Smith's fight with the Vitor. So Alex Pareda said that he'll give him 50,000 will give Anthony Smith $50,000 if he can choke him out even while he's behind his back with hooks in. And then it's so funny that after that's how Anthony won his fight against Veera. But he what it was a or was it green naked? No. It was Guido. It was Guido in my backyard. So anyway so he's saying and then Anthony Smith said he'll take that bet for $50. And it was weird, but But if he doesn't, choke him out like that, then does Anthony Smith have to pay Alex $50? They didn't really specify that, but I'm guessing that's the case. Yeah. That's a bad bet. Wait. Wait. Wait. For, Anthony or for Alex. Alex. Yeah. Alright. It's a terrible bet. We're never gonna see that. You guys know that. Right? Yeah. No one ever does those bets. No. Yeah. And that's, Pineda sleeping when Anthony Smith got called up for Is he really sleeping? No. Just joking around. Oh. This one I thought was interesting. So Did you see, Bruce Buffer messed up? I have that too. I've never seen Bruce mess up. I and that was a pretty crazy one too. Yeah. Yeah. He was like, and still undefeated. Anthony's like, what the Anthony took it in stride. It was so funny to watch him. What's this? So this is Paige Chen's at you know, because she's gonna do this boxing thing with that, OnlyFans person. So this is like an interview for a misfit Misfits Boxing, and then the interviewer is talking about different MMA guys, different I mean, people that transitioned into boxing. So I'll just play this for you real quick. Dylan Danis is not a fighter. Who's not a fighter? Dylan Danis. He's not a fair comparison. There are other examples. I'll I'll be more referring to some other examples of MMA fighters. Dan Oscar. Not a fighter. Oh. I mean, Nate Diaz. A wrestler. Nate Diaz. Nate Diaz is great. Nate Diaz. But when he made George Masvidal. So when, Dylan Danis heard that, he posted something. Yeah. He went nuts on her. Yeah. Yeah. Went nuts on him. Yep. We have all that too. So this is I would say this though. Like, before we get into Dylan Dana stuff, all of it doesn't work for me. So so when she says Ben Askin's not a fighter That's of course. She's just uninformed. She just doesn't know what she's talking about. Was her husband there? Because he would know. Like, any legit fighter knows Ben Askren is a f**king fighter. Does he specialize in wrestling? Absolutely. But to say badass is not a a fighter because he he's wrestling heavy is just ignorant. It's just kinda uninformed. You're talking about a guy who's a Bellator champion. I think he was it 1 champion? Where'd he come from? Was it 1 championship? Yeah. 1 championship. He did trade in Mighty Mouse. You're talking about, outside the UFC, he held multiple world titles in MMA. Yeah. To say he's not a fighter is just stupid. His resume come and I love Paige, but, you know, his resume compared to hers is not it's it's stupid. It's silly. Silly. Yeah. So our boy, Ben. Oh, there you go, Ben. You know what's up? Ben goes, Ben Davis goes, Ben Askin isn't a fighter. He went 9 and o in Bellator with 4 title defenses, then went 6 and o in 1 championship with 3 title defenses. 19 and 2 with 12 finishes in his MMA career. Let's put some respect on Ben Askren. I mean, and most people that follow the sport would know this stuff. Mhmm. Paige, I think, you know, she's younger too. So Ben, when he did this work, was before her time, so she probably just didn't know. Her husband, though, Austin, which should be like, yep. Not no. Ben's legit. Like, let's let's edit that. Also, when it comes to Dylan, how many MMA fights has Dylan had? Just 2 in Bellator? 2 or 3. Yeah. Her argument, I guess, you could do it. He's been in there though. So the I guess her I guess we should see what her criteria is for not a real fighter is, you know? Or we see what the criteria is, what she thinks is a fighter. I think in her mind when she was saying that, she was just like, the guy's asking of MMA people that have transitioned into boxing. Like, Ben's not a boxer. That that I think that's probably what she was trying to say, but she said fighter instead, which is obviously wrong. Yeah. Yeah. That was a bad take. Yeah. Yeah. Ben to boxing, you have an argument. Dylan to boxing, you have an argument. But to say that but if the the umbrella is fighter, if we're talking MMA, jujitsu, wrestling, that's where it gets weird. It's ridiculous. Yeah. Yeah. Do you wanna entertain what Dylan said or no? He put how fast they forget, relax, page you, baby. Just because I didn't wife you doesn't mean you have to be petty. Don't make me bring up our 2 trips to Vegas and ruin your marriage. He does this all the time, though. Yeah. He always does this stuff. Then Paige responded. It looks like she was crying before the video. I'm old. Maybe she's just high. Mention that there is a certain clown on Instagram by the name of Dylan Danis trying to talk some s**t and stir up some drama. So let's f**king go. Right? So, Dylan, obviously, I said you're not a real fighter. My bad. I triggered you. I understand that I hurt your feelings. But instead of coming back and just talking s**t about me saying, I'm not a real fighter. What did you do? You kind of f**ked yourself, right? You backed yourself into a corner because now you have to come with proof of this alleged affair. Right? Because the He doesn't though because social media you in Vegas was at the UFC athlete retreat. You walked up to me in a bar, asked me to peg you in front of multiple other UFC fighters, and I laughed in your face. That's not the definition of a relationship, is it? And certain of drama on the Internet to try to fight my husband, there's definitely better ways that you could handle that. He's got 3 things that you will absolutely never have. 1, a wife, 2, friends. And 3, a real MMA resume. So, Dylan, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, but when you're a piece of s**t like you are, it's pretty f**king easy. Have a good one. Harden the page. Paige is on 1. Yeah. I think she just, maybe she got triggered because, again, she's going into that world, so, you know, she wants to separate herself from that kind of crowd. That's all it is. Yeah. And this is Austin Venofer, her husband. Dylan, guy. Let's just fight. Paige's comments seem to upset you. We are the same way. We can box or do whatever you want. I'd watch that. Yeah. Best way to solve things. 2 professional fighters, you have I get an idea. Fight? Yep. So talking on social media, then you're just like everybody else. You guys have skills. Fight. Let's take a little break. Let's face it. Insurance can be overwhelming. Thank God for progressive insurance. Alright? You need Progressive Insurance. You need a good insurance.

This is not official, but, Somerab Dhaulashvili was on an Indian show, and he revealed there that he'll be fighting Sean O'Malley, at The Sphere at 306. Dude, did you guys watch The Roast of Tom Brady? So we have a little bit of that. So f**king funny. Schultz was I thought it was incredible. So good. Yeah. We saw about Dana and Bay. He was so good. Yeah. Schultz crushed it. Tony crushed it. It was Kevin Hart. Oh, my it I was laughing out loud this morning so hard trying to tweak my kids up. It was so g*****n funny. But the reason I bring that up because Sean O'Malley was there. Alright. Sean O'Malley was there sitting with Dana, and Jeff Ross was like, what what is this? Queer Eye for the Straight Guy? Who are you rolling with these days? And Sean's there just with pink hair and a pink suit. It was so dude, I was laughing so g*****n hard. Yeah. Sean O'Malley versus, Devashile. Ma'am, take my money. At the Sphere? Hell, yeah. It's gonna be sick. Not official, but just that's what Maraab was saying on that show. Pretty official. UFC is not gonna like that. This came out of nowhere. Matt Brown just suddenly said, I'm done. He's gonna retire. Start doing it again. I'm out. Yeah. He's the man. I love Matt Brown. Without a doubt. Legend. The immortal. Yeah. I love that guy. He's talking about how he's gonna start a podcast. I thought he was already doing podcasts with David Martin. I guess he's gonna talk about his retirement on David Martin's podcast, but I don't know if they started it yet. Yeah. I thought it was the fighter and the rider. I thought that They've had fighter and rider for a while, like, different fighters, I think. No. But lately, it's been Dave Martin and, Matt Brown. Yeah. For a while. So I figured that when he said I'm a start a podcast, maybe it just means on his own? Because I thought he was on there a bunch, but could be wrong. Shout out to Matt Brown. I love Matt Brown. So we'll play the Bruce Buffer clip. We don't have to actually show the video. I'll just play the audio. Ladies and gentlemen, referee Osiris Mize got a stop to this contest at 2 minutes of the very first round. Declared the winner by submission to do a guillotine choke and still undefeated. Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. Lion heart span. Have we ever I can can you name anytime Bruce has messed up? Dude, I Where this would've got really bad is if it was like a close close decision, like, came down like championship rounds, 4th 5th rounds, back and forth. It's really close and we're like all waiting. If you f**k that up, oh, it'd been bad. They may have to go back, talk to the whatever. Oh my god. That'd been a disaster. This was so obvious. This one that's why I'm defeated. That's why Anthony's laughing. He's like, what? And I choked him out, dude. Yeah. I don't I can't remember if I've seen Bruce mess up before. No. Especially not that bad. No. Oh, excuse me. Oh, excuse me. You guys said undefeated. Undefeated. Almost the entire name. Yeah. Excuse me. Oh, excuse me. Mhmm. She probably s**t his pants. Oh, excuse me. This is pretty cool. So John Attic, after the last UFC 301, he has set the record for the most fights called in UFC history. Legend. Yeah. Greatest ever do it. I don't think he's he's never even got close to messing up. Right, Johnny? He's always perfect. No. He's I mean, yeah. He's the best, the absolute best. Yeah. We can't play the the roast stuff anyways because it's Netflix, but there's a lot of good stuff on that. Oh, it's so funny. Yeah. We can talk about I'm firing the kid. Okay. And this is the rock training for the smashing machine, the marker, I guess, biopic movie? That's gonna be sick. Yeah. It's just him, trying to learn MMA? Like, he's doing he's sparring, doing wrestling and stuff, but to me, I was telling Casey earlier before you got here. I'm like, why is he wearing these, like, tiny little, you know, like, on things? But we No. He's too good. Mark Kerr used to wear it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He used to wear those. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Boy, he cannot look more opposite than Mark Kerr, but Both were jacked, though. I mean, if that's the requirement. Okay. I have my I have my own business. Okay. This is okay. I don't know where this is from or when this was, but I'm already 11. Uppercuts TV posted this. T r t somehow finds a way to f**k up a simple mic drop. Let me see it. Damn. Life life will f**king kick you in the dick. This happens to Tito. I don't know why it happens so often, things like this.

1131: Hangover Cures | Skeptical Sunday

Feeling rough after drinks? On Skeptical Sunday, Jessica Wynn reveals why hangovers hurt, why "cures" fail, and why dark liquors might be your worst enemy.

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 Jessica Wynn!

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss:

  • Hangovers aren't just about dehydration — they're your body's complex response to processing alcohol as a toxin. When your liver breaks down alcohol, it produces acetaldehyde, a nasty chemical that causes inflammation throughout your body. Meanwhile, your blood sugar goes haywire, your sleep quality plummets, and your entire system essentially stages a biochemical rebellion.
  • Despite a $2 billion (and growing) hangover remedy industry, there's no scientifically proven cure for hangovers. All those miracle pills, electrolyte drinks, and bizarre remedies — from pickle juice to rabbit dung tea — are essentially sophisticated placebos. Your body needs time to process and eliminate alcohol's toxic byproducts, and no amount of coconut water can accelerate that biological reality.
  • Drinking more alcohol to cure a hangover merely postpones the inevitable crash when your blood alcohol returns to zero. Similarly, the concept of "healthy moderation" has been debunked by research showing that no amount of alcohol consumption is actually safe — many studies suggesting otherwise were funded by the alcohol industry and used flawed methodologies.
  • Darker alcohols like whiskey and bourbon contain higher levels of congeners (byproducts of fermentation) than clear spirits, potentially leading to worse hangovers. These compounds, along with other additives and ingredients in alcoholic beverages, contribute significantly to hangover severity beyond just the alcohol content.
  • When dealing with a hangover, embrace the basics: hydration, rest, bland foods to stabilize blood sugar, and perhaps some mild pain relief (though be cautious with acetaminophen). While not glamorous, these approaches support your body's natural recovery processes. Understanding why hangovers happen empowers you to make more informed choices about drinking habits — whether that means switching to clearer spirits, drinking water between alcoholic beverages, or simply accepting that sometimes the most profound wisdom lies in listening to what your body is telling you about that third cocktail.

1130: Giving Wife a Hand When Dreams Are Too Grand | Feedback Friday

Your wife's dreams soar beyond the stratosphere, but you can't even pay for the launch pad. Can you ground her without crushing her? It's 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:

  • You're struggling to support your disabled wife who dreams impossibly big — chief of medicine, political crusader, famous artist—all at once. When you ask practical questions about these grandiose ambitions, she shuts down. How can you support her dreams without reinforcing potential delusions?
  • Your Indian wedding plans are being hijacked by family drama over your cousin's boyfriend from a different ethnic background. Your grandparents and relatives are threatening to make scenes or leave early if you invite him. How do you protect your special day without burning family bridges?
  • At 24, you've hidden your porn consumption from your wife throughout your marriage. She separated from you, then moved back with one condition: no more lies. Now you've "acted out" multiple times, and she's left again, wanting you to file for divorce. What should your next move be?
  • As an esthetician, your industry is imploding — unlicensed social media hustlers, changing regulations, and economic pressures have slashed your income by $20,000. You're working unpaid hours and making less than minimum wage. Do you stick with your passion in hopes of weathering the storm or pivot to something stable?
  • Recommendation of the Week: Hand towels in the bathroom.
  • At 41, you and your husband are frozen in indecision about having children. You've secured embryos but lack the unquestioning desire for parenthood that others seem to have. He fears regret over not having kids; you fear resenting them. How can you push past this life-altering stalemate?

1129: Russ Swain | The Good Mormon Who Made Bad Money

From postage stamps to diamond-dusted $20s: Former counterfeiter Russ Swain takes us inside the addictive world of artistic forgery and its moral reckoning.

What We Discuss with Russ Swain:

  • Russ Swain's counterfeiting career began with painting a postage stamp for a job application. This minor forgery later evolved into currency counterfeiting when financial troubles hit, demonstrating how small ethical compromises can cascade into major criminal activity.
  • Russ became physiologically addicted to the fear and risk of passing counterfeit bills. The constant state of alertness produced adrenaline rushes that became compelling enough to override moral concerns.
  • Russ' operation showcased remarkable ingenuity: diamond dust for texture authenticity, printed textile fibers, and UV-inhibiting suntan lotion in the ink. This demonstrated how artistic talents can be repurposed for illicit endeavors.
  • Despite financial gains, Russ paid heavily with his conscience, describing it as a "ghost" that constantly questioned his new identity. The ultimate price included divorce, church excommunication, and having to explain his crimes to his children.
  • A full-circle moment with Russ' former high school principal shows how our talents can be redirected toward positive ends when we
  • . We all have skills that can serve either harm or healing — the application remains our choice.
  • And much more...

1128: Sextortion | Skeptical Sunday

Getting blackmailed over nonexistent nudes? On Skeptical Sunday, Nick Pell untangles the dark web of sextortion and why kids face the greatest danger.

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

  • The basic sextortion scam is just sophisticated phishing. Those alarming emails claiming to have compromising footage of you? Pure fiction. These scammers cast wide nets, sending millions of messages hoping a tiny percentage will bite. They typically have basic information (your name, email, maybe your address) purchased from dark web data brokers, but nothing actually incriminating. The golden rule: if they don't show you the evidence, it doesn't exist.
  • Children face genuine sextortion risks online. While adults receive empty threats, children encounter a far more dangerous reality. Predators create fake profiles mimicking peers, establish trust, and eventually manipulate children into sharing compromising images. Once obtained, these images become leverage for extorting money, demanding more explicit content, or worse — attempting to arrange in-person meetings. It's a digital trap baited with false friendship.
  • Modern kids are safer outside but more vulnerable online. We've bubble-wrapped the physical world for children with public awareness campaigns, enhanced security measures, and helicopter parenting. Yet ironically, we hand these same protected children devices that connect them directly to potential predators. The statistics are alarming: 40% of surveyed kids reported someone attempting to groom them online, and 6% of children aged 9-12 have sent self-generated sexual content.
  • Victims often remain silent due to shame and fear. The humiliation of falling for scams creates a powerful silencing effect. As Nick candidly shared about his own experience with cryptocurrency scammers: "It's not about the money. Losing the money sucks, don't get me wrong. But it's so humiliating." This shame multiplies exponentially with sexual content, especially for adolescents already navigating identity and social acceptance. A staggering 82% of young victims report being too scared to seek help.

1127: Chaotic Kin Has You Rethinking Children | Feedback Friday

Can kids you plan to have ever be safe around an uncle who chased a trans child with a chainsaw and put your fiancé on a kill list? It's 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:

  • Your fiancé's uncle is dangerously unstable, lives with his grandparents, abuses his dog, threatens neighbors, attempted to attack a trans child with a chainsaw, and put your fiancé on a literal "hit list." Would raising children anywhere near this ticking time bomb of a human being be an irresponsible dereliction of parental responsibility?
  • Your 27-year-old daughter has a master's degree but refuses to leave home, has no interest in dating, shows hoarding behaviors, and sits on your bed every night to "emote" about her life. The lack of alone time is driving a wedge between you and your spouse. How do you push her out without breaking her?
  • The couple you've grown close to over two years has just revealed their relationship began online when he was 23 and she was 14 — a situation serious enough to trigger a deportation. Now they're 30 and 21, leaving you torn between your moral concerns and the meaningful connection you've built. Can you reconcile your ethical unease with the value you place on these long-standing friendships?
  • Your mature 15-year-old daughter doesn't want to spend her court-ordered 75 days a year with her controlling father who restricts her freedom and communication. She'd rather pursue summer school, work, and volunteering. You support her wishes but can't afford a lawyer, and ignoring the custody agreement means contempt of court. What happens when the system fails the very child it's meant to safeguard?
  • Recommendation of the Week: Instruments of a Beating Heart
  • The cold, uncaring machinery of the workplace demands your undivided attention despite the sudden death of your best friend. Surrounded by painful reminders and well-meaning but clueless colleagues, how do you honor grief and survive the 9-to-5 grind when your emotional support system is the very person you've lost?

1126: Richard Reeves | Rethinking the Purpose of Modern Masculinity

Of Boys and Men author Richard Reeves explains how we can address men's modern struggles without undermining women's gains.

What We Discuss with Richard Reeves:

  • Men are falling behind in multiple areas — education (60/40 female/male college ratio), mental health (40,000 male suicides annually), and economically (wages for men without college degrees have remained flat since 1979).
  • Society often overlooks men's struggles due to fears that addressing them might diminish focus on women's issues, creating a false "either/or" narrative when we need an "and" approach.
  • Traditional male roles as breadwinners have diminished without being replaced by expanded roles, leaving many men feeling lost and vulnerable to extremist ideologies.
  • Increasing social isolation affects men disproportionately, with 15% of men under 30 reporting they don't have a single friend, contributing to mental health challenges.
  • Men can overcome these challenges by connecting with other men, developing meaningful friendships, pursuing their own authentic path, and recognizing there's nothing wrong with being male. Building supportive male relationships and communities is essential for well-being and can counteract isolation while providing positive models of masculinity.
  • And much more...

1125: Bananas | Skeptical Sunday

Bananas: nutritious treat or geopolitical nightmare? Jessica Wynn unpeels the shocking truth behind our favorite fruit on this week's 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 Jessica Wynn!

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

  • The United Fruit Company (later Chiquita) wielded extraordinary power in the early and mid-20th century, orchestrating military coups in Honduras and Guatemala, and influencing US foreign policy to protect its interests. This corporate empire even played a role in events leading to the Bay of Pigs invasion and Cuban Missile Crisis.
  • In 1928, Colombian banana workers protesting for basic rights like real currency payment and decent housing were surrounded by military forces and massacred. While the government claimed 47 deaths, other accounts put the toll at around 3,000 — a stark example of the violence underpinning the industry.
  • Even today, banana workers face inhumane conditions including chemical exposure, poverty-level wages, and suppression of union activities. The industry has been linked to child labor, sexual exploitation, and human rights abuses across Latin America.
  • The banana industry uses more agrochemicals than almost any other crop sector, with about 85% missing their target and contaminating workers, communities, and ecosystems. Monoculture farming depletes soil, threatens biodiversity, and pollutes water systems, even damaging coral reefs.
  • Despite this troubling history, consumers can make positive choices by seeking out bananas from ethical producers like Equal Exchange, Coliman, Earth University, and Organics Unlimited/GROW. These brands prioritize sustainable practices and fair treatment of workers, allowing us to enjoy this nutritious fruit while supporting systems that benefit both people and our planet.

1124: Your Aunt's 105 ? But Is She Dead or Alive? | Feedback Friday

Your 105-year-old aunt has vanished into the elder care system while a relative keeps her whereabouts a secret. Can you find her? It's 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:

  • Your 105-year-old great-aunt Giulia has vanished after her son (your point of contact) passed away. His daughter refuses to tell anyone where she placed Giulia and won't respond to your family's desperate attempts to connect. To what lengths should you go to find an elderly relative who might not even know you're looking for her? [Thanks to attorney Corbin Payne for helping us answer this one!]
  • Your cousin's ex-wife unexpectedly reached out to "apologize" about your childhood molestation by her ex-husband (your cousin). While you've worked hard to heal through therapy and build a wonderful life, her message feels oddly timed and potentially self-serving. How do you respond to someone dredging up painful memories for unclear motives?
  • You work at a credit union where your micromanaging boss is actively preventing your career advancement. She's furious you applied for an internal position without her permission and seems determined to keep you under her control despite your excellent performance. How do you maneuver your way through corporate politics when your superior is playing a power game?
  • Your older brother has autism and still lives with your parents at 27. They've provided minimal support for his independence, and your mother has been emotionally pressuring you since you were 16 to take full responsibility for him when they can't anymore. How do you balance caring for your brother while prioritizing your own new family?
  • Recommendation of the Week: Crystal "rock" deodorant
  • Your roofing company fired you right before paying your five-figure commission and claimed you had no employment contract (and therefore no non-compete clause). What happens when you decide to call all your clients, explain the situation, and bring them to your former employer's biggest competitor?

1123: David Eagleman | Your Prehistoric Brain on Modern Problems

David Eagleman explains why counterfeiting works, how our empathy fails, why mind reading remains elusive, and if we'll ever upload our minds to computers.

What We Discuss with David Eagleman:

  • Dr. David Eagleman worked with the European Central Bank on anti-counterfeiting measures, and his research revealed that most people don't notice security features on bills. His key recommendation was to use faces rather than buildings for watermarks since our brains have specialized neural real estate for recognizing faces, making counterfeit detection easier.
  • Research shows our brains have less empathy for people we consider part of our "outgroup." FMRI studies demonstrated that even simple one-word labels (like religious affiliations) can trigger this differential response in the brain's pain matrix when witnessing someone experiencing pain.
  • True mind reading via brain scanning is likely impossible in our lifetime. While we can decode basic sensory input (like visual or auditory cortex activity), actual thoughts involve complex personal experiences, memories, and creative combinations that would be impossible to capture without knowing someone's entire life history.
  • Uploading a human brain to digital form presents enormous technical challenges and philosophical questions. The computational requirements exceed our current global capacity, and questions about identity (is the upload "you" if your physical body dies?) remain unresolved. Brain plasticity would also need to be captured for the upload to remain dynamic.
  • Understanding our brain's natural tendency toward ingroup/outgroup thinking gives us the opportunity to consciously overcome these biases. By recognizing our shared humanity and finding common interests with those different from us, we can build bridges across divides and develop greater empathy for all people. This awareness can help us make more compassionate choices in our daily interactions.
  • And much more...

1132: Scott Payne | Infiltrating America's Extremist Underworld

How do ordinary people become dangerous extremists? Former FBI agent Scott Payne infiltrated America's most violent hate groups and reveals their playbook.

What We Discuss with Scott Payne:

  • Scott Payne worked as an undercover FBI agent infiltrating various extremist organizations, including white supremacists like the KKK and accelerationists such as The Base, which aimed to trigger societal collapse and establish a white ethnostate.
  • Accelerationist groups differ from traditional white supremacist organizations in that they don't believe in political solutions, but train for violence and "Boogaloo" (race war), preparing with tactical gear and weapons while planning attacks on infrastructure and targeted individuals.
  • During his undercover work, Scott encountered disturbing rituals and behaviors, including a goat sacrifice during which members drank blood and took LSD as part of a neo-pagan ceremony associated with white supremacist ideology.
  • White supremacist recruitment often targets vulnerable individuals from broken homes who are seeking belonging and connection, with online platforms like Telegram and Gab serving as recruitment grounds where extremist content can radicalize disaffected youth.
  • Deescalation and communication skills proved to be Scott's most valuable tools throughout his career. His experience shows that even in hostile environments, the ability to talk through situations and remain calm under pressure is often more effective than physical confrontation — a skill anyone can develop and apply to their own difficult interactions.
  • And much more...

1131: Hangover Cures | Skeptical Sunday

Feeling rough after drinks? On Skeptical Sunday, Jessica Wynn reveals why hangovers hurt, why "cures" fail, and why dark liquors might be your worst enemy.

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 Jessica Wynn!

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss:

  • Hangovers aren't just about dehydration — they're your body's complex response to processing alcohol as a toxin. When your liver breaks down alcohol, it produces acetaldehyde, a nasty chemical that causes inflammation throughout your body. Meanwhile, your blood sugar goes haywire, your sleep quality plummets, and your entire system essentially stages a biochemical rebellion.
  • Despite a $2 billion (and growing) hangover remedy industry, there's no scientifically proven cure for hangovers. All those miracle pills, electrolyte drinks, and bizarre remedies — from pickle juice to rabbit dung tea — are essentially sophisticated placebos. Your body needs time to process and eliminate alcohol's toxic byproducts, and no amount of coconut water can accelerate that biological reality.
  • Drinking more alcohol to cure a hangover merely postpones the inevitable crash when your blood alcohol returns to zero. Similarly, the concept of "healthy moderation" has been debunked by research showing that no amount of alcohol consumption is actually safe — many studies suggesting otherwise were funded by the alcohol industry and used flawed methodologies.
  • Darker alcohols like whiskey and bourbon contain higher levels of congeners (byproducts of fermentation) than clear spirits, potentially leading to worse hangovers. These compounds, along with other additives and ingredients in alcoholic beverages, contribute significantly to hangover severity beyond just the alcohol content.
  • When dealing with a hangover, embrace the basics: hydration, rest, bland foods to stabilize blood sugar, and perhaps some mild pain relief (though be cautious with acetaminophen). While not glamorous, these approaches support your body's natural recovery processes. Understanding why hangovers happen empowers you to make more informed choices about drinking habits — whether that means switching to clearer spirits, drinking water between alcoholic beverages, or simply accepting that sometimes the most profound wisdom lies in listening to what your body is telling you about that third cocktail.

1130: Giving Wife a Hand When Dreams Are Too Grand | Feedback Friday

Your wife's dreams soar beyond the stratosphere, but you can't even pay for the launch pad. Can you ground her without crushing her? It's 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:

  • You're struggling to support your disabled wife who dreams impossibly big — chief of medicine, political crusader, famous artist—all at once. When you ask practical questions about these grandiose ambitions, she shuts down. How can you support her dreams without reinforcing potential delusions?
  • Your Indian wedding plans are being hijacked by family drama over your cousin's boyfriend from a different ethnic background. Your grandparents and relatives are threatening to make scenes or leave early if you invite him. How do you protect your special day without burning family bridges?
  • At 24, you've hidden your porn consumption from your wife throughout your marriage. She separated from you, then moved back with one condition: no more lies. Now you've "acted out" multiple times, and she's left again, wanting you to file for divorce. What should your next move be?
  • As an esthetician, your industry is imploding — unlicensed social media hustlers, changing regulations, and economic pressures have slashed your income by $20,000. You're working unpaid hours and making less than minimum wage. Do you stick with your passion in hopes of weathering the storm or pivot to something stable?
  • Recommendation of the Week: Hand towels in the bathroom.
  • At 41, you and your husband are frozen in indecision about having children. You've secured embryos but lack the unquestioning desire for parenthood that others seem to have. He fears regret over not having kids; you fear resenting them. How can you push past this life-altering stalemate?

1129: Russ Swain | The Good Mormon Who Made Bad Money

From postage stamps to diamond-dusted $20s: Former counterfeiter Russ Swain takes us inside the addictive world of artistic forgery and its moral reckoning.

What We Discuss with Russ Swain:

  • Russ Swain's counterfeiting career began with painting a postage stamp for a job application. This minor forgery later evolved into currency counterfeiting when financial troubles hit, demonstrating how small ethical compromises can cascade into major criminal activity.
  • Russ became physiologically addicted to the fear and risk of passing counterfeit bills. The constant state of alertness produced adrenaline rushes that became compelling enough to override moral concerns.
  • Russ' operation showcased remarkable ingenuity: diamond dust for texture authenticity, printed textile fibers, and UV-inhibiting suntan lotion in the ink. This demonstrated how artistic talents can be repurposed for illicit endeavors.
  • Despite financial gains, Russ paid heavily with his conscience, describing it as a "ghost" that constantly questioned his new identity. The ultimate price included divorce, church excommunication, and having to explain his crimes to his children.
  • A full-circle moment with Russ' former high school principal shows how our talents can be redirected toward positive ends when we
  • . We all have skills that can serve either harm or healing — the application remains our choice.
  • And much more...

1128: Sextortion | Skeptical Sunday

Getting blackmailed over nonexistent nudes? On Skeptical Sunday, Nick Pell untangles the dark web of sextortion and why kids face the greatest danger.

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

  • The basic sextortion scam is just sophisticated phishing. Those alarming emails claiming to have compromising footage of you? Pure fiction. These scammers cast wide nets, sending millions of messages hoping a tiny percentage will bite. They typically have basic information (your name, email, maybe your address) purchased from dark web data brokers, but nothing actually incriminating. The golden rule: if they don't show you the evidence, it doesn't exist.
  • Children face genuine sextortion risks online. While adults receive empty threats, children encounter a far more dangerous reality. Predators create fake profiles mimicking peers, establish trust, and eventually manipulate children into sharing compromising images. Once obtained, these images become leverage for extorting money, demanding more explicit content, or worse — attempting to arrange in-person meetings. It's a digital trap baited with false friendship.
  • Modern kids are safer outside but more vulnerable online. We've bubble-wrapped the physical world for children with public awareness campaigns, enhanced security measures, and helicopter parenting. Yet ironically, we hand these same protected children devices that connect them directly to potential predators. The statistics are alarming: 40% of surveyed kids reported someone attempting to groom them online, and 6% of children aged 9-12 have sent self-generated sexual content.
  • Victims often remain silent due to shame and fear. The humiliation of falling for scams creates a powerful silencing effect. As Nick candidly shared about his own experience with cryptocurrency scammers: "It's not about the money. Losing the money sucks, don't get me wrong. But it's so humiliating." This shame multiplies exponentially with sexual content, especially for adolescents already navigating identity and social acceptance. A staggering 82% of young victims report being too scared to seek help.
  • Open communication creates crucial safety nets. The most powerful protection isn't restrictive software or monitoring apps — it's creating an environment where kids know they can come to you without judgment if they make mistakes online. Make it crystal clear: "If you ever get into trouble online, I'm here for you, I'll support you, and you won't be punished because someone manipulated or tricked you." This simple assurance can be the emergency exit that leads vulnerable young people to seek help rather than spiraling deeper into exploitation. Having this conversation today could save your child from becoming a statistic tomorrow.
