  • 1356: Tipflation | Skeptical Sunday
    Jul 12 2026
    We've hit peak tip fatigue. Michael Regilio is here to explain how a century of tipping led us here — and how it can be remedied — 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/1356On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Tipping wasn't born of kindness — it was born of swagger. In Tudor England, the wealthy pressed coins on servants to broadcast their status, a little "I'm above you" rendered in currency. From day one, the gratuity signaled hierarchy, not good service.After the Civil War, employers dodged paying newly freed Black workers by letting customers "tip" instead. Pullman porters lived almost entirely on gratuities. Tipping became a tidy loophole for keeping labor nearly free.The federal tipped minimum wage is $2.13 an hour, frozen since 1996. Servers can take home paychecks reading zero dollars, the tips quietly doing all the heavy lifting the law politely declines to.By retiring the old 15% option and anchoring you at 18-22-25% during the on-screen payment process, it nudges your brain toward "generous" before the food even exists. It's behavioral economics, weaponized into a swivel screen that watches you decide.Nobody actually likes this system, which makes it ripe for change. Europe proves restaurants flourish without it. So aim your energy at fair-wage policies rather than the person holding the iPad — they didn't build this maze, they're just surviving it.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Sheh-sheh, and enjoy!You've wrestled inflammatory conditions your whole life, until a teenage steroid reaction detonated into psychosis. Years later, a manic episode nearly made you the accidental CEO of Best Buy. Now your kids are young adults, and you're sitting on a medical history you've never breathed a word of. Do you tell them, or wait for fate to force your hand?10-plus years married, two kids, a well-oiled co-parenting machine, but behind closed doors, the romance flatlined years ago. Then a woman at a Vegas conference lit up something long dormant, and the texts have drifted from casual to dangerously deep.

  • 1354: Arthur Brand | Recovering the World's Stolen Masterpieces
    Jul 7 2026

    Meet Arthur Brand, the real-life Indiana Jones of the art world who's recovered 200+ stolen Picassos, Van Goghs, and Nazi-looted treasures.

    Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1354

    What We Discuss with Arthur Brand:

    • The Dr. No delusion: Why thieves keep stealing famous paintings they can never sell — chasing a mythical billionaire collector who exists only in James Bond films — and how police exploit that fantasy by posing as the fabled buyer to lure them out.
    • An eight-billion-euro underworld: How art crime quietly became the world's third-largest criminal money flow, entangling mafias, terrorists, corrupt states, and even figures who tried to fund attacks like September 11th.
    • The forgery epidemic: Why roughly a third of all art may be fake — with some museums closer to half — and how looters double their money by slipping convincing copies in beside the genuine antiquities they dug from the ground.
    • How stolen masterpieces come home: Why a hot Van Gogh becomes a worthless hot potato shuffled between drug lords, and how most recoveries begin with a jealous ex, a bragging Tinder date, or a criminal desperate to offload a cursed relic.
    • Trust the human element: Discover how patient curiosity and plain conversation — knocking on a door, catching an offhand brag, letting people quietly do the right thing — recover treasures that badges, warrants, and Fort Knox security never could.
    • And much more...
