Israel from the Inside with Daniel GordisStriking in its beauty, the Dead Sea is actually drying up and disappearingIsrael from the Inside was always meant not to focus on war or politics, but instead, fo focus on the issues, challenges, people, culture, music and more that make up the mosaic of Israeli life—a mosaic that often doesn’t make it into the English press. Hamas, of course, has diverted this plans a bit, but now that we are five months into the war and war is becoming the “new normal,” we’re can finally begin revsitting some of the issues on which we’d hoped to focus. We recorded this conversation with Nathan Japhe...

You Can't Laugh At ThatEp. 76 - David's RulesFor the first time since the beginning of COVID, we didn't have an episode in the chamber ready to go, so we did something different for this episode.Instead of breaking down a bit by a guest and discussing why it's funny, we listen to and exchange notes on one of David's bits he's been working out at open mics.Even though comedy is a solo act, sometimes getting insights, questions, and tags from fellow comics can lead to breakthroughs, and it's a fun process to see play out, so we thought we'd share it...

You Can't Laugh At ThatThe Sex Offender Registry Ft. Jarret BerensteinIf you're convicted of a sex crime with a victim, absolutely you should have to register as a sex offender in order to help keep your neighborhood safe. But if you end up on the sex offender registry for something as harmless as relieving yourself in public, engaging in sexual acts in a public place (with no one around, of course), or taking innocuous photos of your kid in the tub... that can be fertile ground for humor.Which is why we invited TimeOut NY's Critics' Choice Jarret Berenstein, who has a killer joke about this exact...

Kim and Ket Stay Alive... MaybeEp. 92: The Conjuring 2: “The Tale of Talking About Our Ghosts”Kim tells Ket about The Conjuring 2 starring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson. The girls discuss the Mandela Effect (which I could swear they’ve discussed before - but maybe that was in an alternate universe… like the one where Berenstein Bears is spelled wrong.) We get a glimpse into Ketryn’s troubling parenting ethos and we vow to burn all recliners. Most importantly, we’ll learn if Ket will live or die in The Conjuring 2.

Famous Dead PeopleEpisode Reissue! Elvis and John Wayne Gacy!(ft comedians David Bluvband & John Trowbridge) Full disclosure: I was in Mexico last week on a well deserved vacation and I went on a jet ski and it was dope.
But that also means I didn't have time to do an ep this week, which means you are so lucky to get to hear one of my favorites once again. Enjoy!

Famous Dead PeopleEp 95 - Rod Serling & Martha Washington(ft comedians David Bluvband & Rebecca Robles) This episode had so many twists I honestly can't make heads or tails of it. There were Hitler's and dinosaurs, that is all I can say, and Martha was at one point locked up in a basement for a few months.
