  • #174: Eidan Sanker - How the "Don't Touch My Car" Guy Got 5 Billion YouTube Views

    Eidan Sanker, an Israeli content creator has built the biggest YouTube Channel with almost 8 million followers as well as a massive Instagram following with 8 million. He started out as a photographer and then proceeded to buy several cars which he not only collected but then later used to rent out for events. One of the cars was a purple Corvette which is very uncommon to see in Israel since most people do not drive luxury cars altogether let alone corvettes. He saw people leaning against the car and decided to turn on the engine to scare them and later posted it online. The video blew up and so he went on to make many similar videos. After countless "Don't touch my car" videos, Eidan switched up the content ideas and added money giveaways and gold-digger pranks. Aside from Gal Gadot who lives in the US, Eidan has the biggest Israeli following on YouTube. Tune in to hear how he did it, you might learn a thing or two.

  • #173: Yoav Zammir - He Got Famous Repping Israel on Omegle.

    Yoav Zammir has become famous for his quirky videos on omegle where he talks to people from both the Pro-Israel and Pro-Palestine side and throws DJ remixes and beatboxing into the videos. He has garnered quite a lot of attention since October 7th and not only is he entertaining but very knowledgeable and articulate when it comes to debating the conflict. I had the pleasure of sitting down for a shmooze and we discussed his recent video with Hollywood actor and staunch Zionist Michael Rapaport and his thoughts regarding the future of the war.

  • #172: OfficialSaharTV - Fighting for Israel on Omegle and TikTok

    This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sahar of OfficialSaharTV who has been debating people on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for the last few months and has in my opinion proven to be one of the best debaters on the topic on social media. We delved into Sahar's decision to create content, his experiences debating online and what he thinks will happen after Israel's victory over Hamas.

  • #171: Barak Swarttz (OtherBarak) - From College Basketball to Israel Advocacy

    Barak Swartzz started creating content only 5 months ago and has amassed an impressive following on YouTube of 15,000 followers and counting. Originally from Boston, Barak used to play college Basketball and after a torn ACL and several other sports related injuries, had to put his balling to rest. He became a coach for other athletes and NBA players and continues to do so today. Since his move from Boston to Israel 2 years ago, Barak, has become more focused on spreading the message of Israel's right to sovereignty with peace with the Palestinians and its neighbors. It was an amazing unfiltered but mentally stimulating discussion, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

  • #170: Yehuda Katz - Hasidic Bodybuilder & Personal Trainer

    Have you seen a Jacked Hasidic Jew? I really haven't. Why is it so uncommon to see religious Jews in shape let alone incredible shape? This week I sat down with Yehuda Katz, a 20-year-old Hasidic Jew who began working out at 14 and now has an amazing physique. Yehuda and I discussed the stigma of wearing non-Hasidic clothing, using social media for his personal training business and how it once made things challenging with his parents, but they are now very strong supporters. We discussed not only the stigma of being an ultra Orthodox bodybuilder but also the immense benefit of being strong and confident especially in a time when so many people hate Jews.

  • #167: (PART 2) De-bunking Norman Finkelstein on the Lex Fridman Podcast Israel- Palestine Debate

    Sam Hyde, a Jewish political researcher and writer joined me for part 2 of our commentary of the Israel-Palestine debate on the Lex Fridman podcast. Part 2 delved much more into the current state of affairs as opposed to the history which created a lot more fire on Lex's podcast and was quite frankly a lot more entertaining for us to comment on. Sam and I shared our thoughts on October 7th, the attempts at peace as well as trying to answer the age old question of whether peace can ever be achieved or not.

  • #168 - Rabbi Manis Freidman - Jews Need to Speak the Truth About Israel

    Rabbi Manis Freidman is known as social medias most well-known Rabbi. Rabbi Manis is a world-renowned author, counselor, lecturer, and philosopher who uses ancient wisdom and modern wit to captivate audiences around the world. On this week's episode of Soothing Semantics, the Rabbi and I peeled back some onion layers in regard to the history of the inheritance feud of Israel between Isaac and Ishmael and why the Jews became the rightful inheritors of the land. The rabbi stressed the importance of Jews being direct and honest with the world and not being afraid to say that the Jews are chosen, and the land is theirs. The realties and hypocrisies of war as well as understanding gay rights when attempting to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was all quite interesting and the Rabbi had some interesting points of view to say the least.

  • #167: Dissecting The Lex Fridman Israel - Palestine DEBATE

    This week, I sat down with Samuel J. Hyde, a political researcher and writer from Tel Aviv with whom I had the pleasure of sitting down with 2 weeks prior to this episode to discuss the nuances and challenges of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This week, Sam and I dissected part of Lex Fridman's recent episode where he moderated a debate with some very prominent historians, writers and thinkers in the Middle Eastern political sphere. The Lex Fridman debate is close to 5 hours and due to a flight Sam had to catch, had to be paused after an hour and a half. Give part 1 a watch, leave your feedback and make sure to tune in to part 2 next week.

  • #166 - Chris Moffett - How Women Test Men for Their Own Survival

    Rich cooper has been running several channel helping men understand women and navigate relationships but not everyone who watches Rich's content is familiar with his right-hand man Chris Moffett. Chris has joined Rich in creating content not long ago and has added to the value of the show, especially the lady's night segment where they bring on women from different age groups, different parts of the world, and from all walks of life where they have important discussions about relationships, issues the women face and what can be done to improve current or future relationships. Chris and I discussed an earlier relationship of his where he was never able to please his girlfriend in or out of the bedroom and ultimately broke up but was still sleeping in the same bed with his ex while she scrolled on dating apps next to him. This was a very impactful episode and I look forward to your feedback in the comments.SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, AND SHARE!
