    1229: Penis Enhancement | Skeptical Sunday
    Oct 26 2025
    From ancient myths to modern mishaps, Michael Regilio pulls back the curtain on the rise of penis “upgrades” with firm skepticism 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 skeptic, comedian, and podcaster Michael Regilio!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1229On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Erectile dysfunction has existed for centuries — once blamed on witches and “ghosts pulling cords” — but is now well understood as a mix of physical and psychological factors.Viagra’s accidental invention in 1998 transformed sexual medicine — turning a failed heart drug into a billion-dollar treatment that helped millions and even reduced wildlife poaching.Most penis enlargement methods — pills, pumps, surgeries — are ineffective or dangerous. Many cause disfigurement, infection, or permanent loss of sensation.Modern options like traction devices and hyaluronic acid fillers can produce modest, temporary gains — but should only be done by licensed medical professionals.Losing weight naturally improves blood flow, boosts confidence, and can even make the penis appear larger — proving that the safest enhancement begins with self-care and self-acceptance.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Why would they betray you like this?You've maintained a 25-year friendship with someone who dominates conversations, rarely asks about you, and treats service workers rudely.

  • 1227: Kashmir Hill | Is AI Manipulating Your Mental Health?

    1227: Kashmir Hill | Is AI Manipulating Your Mental Health?
    Oct 23 2025

    Users are falling in love with and losing their minds to AI. Journalist Kashmir Hill exposes shocking recent cases of chatbot-induced psychosis and suicide.

    Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1227

    What We Discuss with Kashmir Hill:

    • AI chatbots are having serious psychological effects on users, including manic episodes, delusional spirals, and mental breakdowns that can last hours, days, or months.
    • Users are experiencing "AI psychosis" — an emerging phenomenon where vulnerable people become convinced chatbots are sentient, fall in love with them, or spiral into dangerous delusions.
    • Tragic outcomes have occurred, including a Belgian man with a family who took his own life after six weeks of chatting, believing his family was dead and his suicide would save the planet.
    • AI chatbots validate harmful thoughts — creating dangerous feedback loops for people with OCD, anxiety, or psychosis, potentially destabilizing those already predisposed to mental illness.
    • Stay skeptical and maintain perspective — treat AI as word prediction machines, not oracles. Use them as tools like Google, verify important information, and prioritize real human relationships over AI interactions.
    • And much more...

    1225: Penis Size | Skeptical Sunday
    Oct 19 2025
    The average penis: smaller than you think, more complex than you know. Michael Regilio gets to the meat of the matter 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 skeptic, comedian, and podcaster Michael Regilio!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1225On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:The penis first evolved roughly 425 million years ago as a more precise method of fertilization — allowing species to reproduce efficiently when eggs were protected inside the body.Humans are unique among mammals for losing the penis bone and spines, evolving instead toward smooth anatomy and longer lovemaking tied to emotional intimacy.Modern men experience anxiety over penis size — despite studies showing the global average is about 5.16 inches and 85% of women report satisfaction with their partner’s size.Pornography, camera tricks, and unrealistic media images distort expectations, fueling insecurity and demand for enhancement products that often solve imaginary problems.Confidence, care, and education matter more than size — regular exercise, stress reduction, hydration, and pelvic floor training (Kegels) improve both sexual health and self-esteem.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

  • 1223: William H. Macy | What Shameless Taught Him About Being Shameless

    1223: William H. Macy | What Shameless Taught Him About Being Shameless
    Oct 14 2025

    Acting is weird, brutal work. Fargo star William H. Macy breaks down why desperation makes great art — and how he finally learned to act at age 60.

    Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1223

    What We Discuss with William H. Macy:

    • Character is defined by action, not words or backstory. What you do reveals who you are, making desperation and relentlessness compelling on screen.
    • The best actors are bulletproof against criticism of their craft because they commit fully to their choices without seeking approval or worrying about being flattering.
    • William didn't truly learn to act until his 60s on Shameless. Getting his 10,000 hours taught him to drop baggage and focus only on what's essential in the moment.
    • Really look and really listen. This simple technique transforms performances because genuine attention makes others self-conscious and creates authentic reactions.
    • Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses. Happiness comes from accepting who you are and doing what you're naturally good at rather than fixing every flaw.
    • And much more...

    1222: What Legal Steps Come Next to Stop Criminal Ex? | Feedback Friday
    Oct 10 2025
    Sextortion, fraud, hacking, car theft, death threats — your ex belongs in prison. How do you make that happen? Welcome to Feedback Friday!And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now let's dive in!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1222On This Week's Feedback Friday:[00:11:32] Your ex secretly took explicit photos, threatened blackmail, racked up $19,000 in debt on your cards, hacked your accounts, stole your car, and threatened to kill you multiple times — all while evading a restraining order. How do you finally get the legal system to work for you and hold this criminal accountable? [Thanks once again to attorney Corbin Payne for helping us answer this!][00:30:25] Your colleagues were laid off, and now their former employees keep approaching them to express sadness and frustration about the terminations — adding emotional weight while the managers process their own job losses. Should they set boundaries or reframe these conversations as something valuable instead? [Thanks to leadership coach and speaker Dr. Arseny Thumb von Neuburg for helping us with this one!][00:37:18] You spent years discovering you have ADHD, RSD, autism, OCD, and stereoblindness — each diagnosis life-changing with the right medication and therapy. You've helped coworkers get diagnosed too. How do you know what else might be affecting you, and how can you help others recognize their own neurodivergence?[01:00:39] Recommendation of the Week: Retro board games (like Trouble, Uno, and Sorry!)[01:03:16] Women use AI 20% less than men across nearly all sectors — with ChatGPT's app users being 85% male — creating a massive economic disadvantage. Women who develop AI skills could earn $2.7 million more over their careers. What's driving this gap, and what does it mean for the future of work and gender equality?Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?
