It's The Worst Time To Be A Jew, Except For All The Other Times - With Guest Michael Moynihan
Best friend of the Jews and righteous among the podcasters - Michael Moynihan of the Fifth Column podcast is our special guest this week! We feel especially blessed by his goyish presence (in person!) since The Fifth Column sort of gave birth to Ask A Jew, though no one really takes responsibility (think 3 Men and A Baby)
During these 90 or so precious in-person (!) minutes, we learn that Michael's little girl is on the ADL's watchlist, pitch our spinoff, "Jews in canoes", and pine for Swedish Zionists and Jewish astronauts, both of which we can count on one hand.
Towards the end of the episode we spend a good amount of time talking about the Fifth Column, drugs, and IDF women, as per MMs contract.
And also:
Is Michael Jewish? An Anti-semite? Both?
Jews eat their money on holidays
Chaya Leah is surprised that everyone is surprised about antisemitism
Holocaust education should begin in the womb
Chaya Leah + Christopher Hitchens is a match made in…somewhere
We met this cool Rabbi who we won't name, oh wait we do name him
We ask Michael, why are Jews so awesome?
A Boston digression (and here’s an article about “sugar bars”)
A spicy story about a Trans wonan - but it's not what you think
Cows for Burger King
A Muslim, A Christan and a Jew walk into a college campus
Sweden, why don't you love us? Paulina Neuding explains
The ABBA hologram show
Michael reassures us that people will always hate Jews - but he's not mean about it.
Are Holocaust jokes funny? Depends which parent of Yael's you ask
Kanye West jumped the antisemitism shark
Heil German Shepards
A sharp turn to Harry and Meghan
Neighborhood Bully
Can you be more of a Chabad Telethon??
Gilbert Gottfreid was Jewish?
Support the (women of the) IDF
Twitter wars and how to humiliate them with kindness
Thanks Michael! We <3 you more than the all the Jewish astronauts combined!
Yaaaay!
Great discussion!
I peeked a bit at Ancient Apocalypse (as a long lapsed archaeologist). The vibe I got from it was every generation needs its version of Chariot of the Gods. So, this is not necessarily about "ancient aliens" but it does claim secret knowledge and a cover up conspiracy, and it appeals to our desire to have these kinds of explanations, but ignores the fact that conspiracies of this type are basically impossible. It's nice they made a show for the guy, but I call BS.
