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

Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with Feedback Friday producer the Molca Hete, helping me mix together this tableside guacamole of life drama, Gabriel Mizrahi. That's the mortar and pestle. Yeah, it's like that mechanic ash bowl that has three little legs on it. Yeah. That's hilarious. And the servers at the restaurants always make such a production out of it, don't they? Oh wow, you put the onions in there. I see it. Can we speed this up a bit? I'm hungry. The chips have been on the table for like five minutes. Let's get the show on the road, shall we? Yeah. On the Jordan Harbinger Show, we decode the stories, secrets, and skills of the world's most fascinating people and turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you. And 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. From rocket scientists and CEOs, neuroscientists, war correspondents and astronauts.

This week we had my friend David Eagleman back on the show. Such an interesting guy. We talked about whether or not we'll be able to upload our consciousness, our brains to the internet, if we might create MRI technology that could read minds. a whole lot more. We're always kind of all over the place. I'm just really interested in the brain. He is one of the world's foremost experts on the brain. So these are always super fun conversations. You you really don't want to miss this one if you're into neuroscience. Futurism from a grounded perspective. And he's just such a great explainer of things you can't miss with this episode. We also had a skeptical Sunday on Feng Shui, you know that furniture arranging thing that's supposed to be science, but is really just kind of ancient Chinese interior design. On Fridays, though, we share stories, take listener letters, offer advice, and revisit weird and nostalgic memories from yesteryear. Speaking of which

Funny story I remembered this week. I wanted to share it with you guys. So years ago when I was living in LA, I was a host on couchsurfing.com or couchsurfing. Yeah, couchsurfing.com. I do remember that. So for the uninitiated here, this is a website where you could basically say, Hey, I live in San Francisco. I'm willing to host one or two people And I've got a spare bedroom. And people just from all over the world who are young and don't have enough money for a hotel or prefer the couch surfing experience.
