Jewish news comes at you rapid-fire this week, as the boys rifle through item after sometimes disturbing, sometimes amusing items that include Wacky Ken Livingstone, the Iditarod, Ukrainian comedians, Ricky Henderson, rapid-fire sandwich-making and poor-quality Girl Scout cookies. But first, the civility of the deep south has Rosen wondering about the priorities of his big-city … Continue reading Episode #209: Bread-sliced bagels are a travesty →

Lots of questions this week: Is the “Jew coup” behind the impeachment hearings? We’re so busy running banking, the media and the weather, how would we have time? Is Amazon evil, or is it what we want? Are we overreacting about the Auschwitz Christmas ornaments? What is a “motivator?” Is Wal-Mart opening a store in … Continue reading Episode #228: Crocs are an abomination →

Don’t let Rosen’s migraine-induced miasma prevent you from enjoying this raucous episode of your favorite Jewish podcast. Instead, step into the Twilight Lounge to hear about Hamas’ never-ending threats, little kids dressed as Hitler, Goldbrener’s uniquely punk rock take on the shock value of the swastika and Rosen’s unsettling question about the anti-semites’ end game. … Continue reading Episode #225: Rags to riches →

Episode #225: Rags to riches

This week, Goldbrener declares his love for floral and paisley shirts and tells a horrifying tale of a friend who once had the hiccups for “years.” Somehow that leads to anxiety over the economics of adventure guides and eventually, a general suspicion about the purpose of a digital map of “Jewish San Francisco” and a … Continue reading Episode #224: Free tuition… and paisley! →
