Offensive Crayons

A double dose!

First off, in case you missed it, we were back on Meghan Daum’s The Unspeakable last week talking Jewish astronauts, hot dictators, and the time Chaya Leah showed her Hasidic grandparents naked girls on the internet….

This week on AAJ we’re happy to welcome Peter Shankman, tech entrepreneur and 5-time best selling author to talk about social media, ADHD and much more. Check out Peter’s website here. We recorded this right after the Queen’s passing, so please excuse us if it seems a few days behind schedule, because it is.

Among the topics:

The girls are grateful for a monarch who didn’t try to kill the Jews

Deaditors - people devoted to editing Wikipedia pages for dead people

Chaya Leah is diagnosed with ADHD

Peter has two speeds: “Namaste” and “I’ll cut a b**ch”

The secret to a happy life? Limit choices and turn off your alerts (also jump out of an airplane)

Peter is a psycopath who shuts off his phone

kids and phones - a shidduch made in heaven

Porn and tech - also a shidduch made in heaven

Peter is setting us up with a Jewish porn star (to interview, relax!)

Peter’s favorite project: Help a reporter out

Chaya Leah is scared of German Shepards, but look at Tatiana Timoshenko and the dog named after her son!
