1410: Age-Gap Beau Wins Over Dad; His Kids Still Mad | Feedback Friday

Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with Feedback Friday producer, The Rocking Chair, helping me soothe your soul on this creaky porch of life drama, Gabriel Misrahi. The Jordan Harbinger Show we decode the stories, secrets, and skills of the world's most fascinating people. Our mission is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker. During the week we have long form conversations with a variety of amazing folks, mafia enforcers, astronauts, economic hitmen, gold smugglers. This week we had Lindsey Owens author of Gouge, The End of a Fair Price. And what that means for your wall. I didn't know about this. There's something called algorithmic pricing, which essentially finds out what you're willing to pay for something based on the device you're using and your location and w all these things about you. Not just how much the item should cost or the airline ticket or the hotel should cost.

It's just basically they're spying on you and then they figure out if they can charge you more for something. Even what phone you're using, it's just crazy stuff. I also sat down with Patrick Gagney, author of Sociopath, a memoir. This is a woman who is a sociopath and she tells me about her upbringing, all these weird things she used to do and how she adjusted to Live a quote unquote normal life with a husband and kids. She's fascinating because she's very blunt about everything and has successfully sort of adapted to Live Among Us. But she's not scary. She's actually really fascinating and a very nice person. Or is she just pretending? No, I don't know. But anyway that show was a very interesting for me as well. 'Cause I'm not talking with a serial killer or anything, but I'm talking with somebody who sort of s goes, Yeah, I just don't feel any of these feelings that I pretend to have. I thought that was something else. We also did a little something different last Sunday. I interviewed Justin Fulk, director of the documentary Paging Hezbollah. The documentary reveals

How Israel pulled off one of the most audacious intelligence operations in history when they engineered and smuggled a modern day Trojan horse into Hezbollah's command network before destroying it with a single beep. It's the whole pager thing with the exploding pagers that you heard about. Fascinating story, interesting filmmaker. On Fridays, though, we share stories, take listener letters, offer advice, play obnoxious sound bites, and compare ourselves to various outdoor furniture and appertinences. So I'm sick as you can tell. Uh, when you have little kids, you're signing up for the Virus of the Month Club. It's uh it's what happens when you send your kids to school. They go to school and they come back and they they are over it in a day and a half and you keep it for three weeks.
