Welcome to Skeptical Sunday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. Today, I'm with Skeptical Sunday

co-host comedian Michael Regelio. 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.

Our mission is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker, and during the

week we have long-form conversations with a variety of amazing folks, from spies to CEOs,

athletes, authors, thinkers, performers.

On Sundays, though, we do skeptical Sunday, where a rotating guest co-host and I break down

a topic that you may have never thought about and debunk common misconceptions about that topic, such as why tipping

makes absolutely no sense, diet supplements, the lottery, ear candling, self-help cults,

bottled water, energy drinks, diet pills, astrology, recycling, internet porn, and more.

I find myself saying that every time.

I have a medley of topics I could mention, but I always use the internet porn one, Michael.

I don't know why.

I don't know why.

Maybe I got a problem.

If you're new to the show or you're looking for a handy way to tell your friends about

the show, it sounds weird to say the word handy.

Well, never mind.

I suggest our episode starter packs. These are collections of our favorite episodes on persuasion, negotiation, psychology, disinformation,

cyber warfare, crime, and cults, and more.

That'll help new listeners get a taste of everything we do here on the show.
