    The conversation revolves around the recent events at Columbia University and the broader implications of Ziontology and institutional control. The hosts discuss their experiences at Columbia, the encampments of activists, and the role of real estate moguls in the university. They also highlight the problematic behavior of Shai Davidai, an adjunct professor at Columbia, and the complicity of the university in allowing his actions. The conversation touches on the influence of Ziontology, the weaponization of free speech, and the need for divestment from institutions supporting oppressive regimes. They also discuss the interconnectedness of state-sponsored paramilitary groups, and the role of Israel in Latin America. The alignment of fundamentalist groups, the experience of traveling to Istanbul and Oaxaca, the disappointment with the movie Monkey Man, and the artist date concept.

    Self-Immolation, Vice Media Left for Dead in Malaysia, A Soft and Quiet Zone of Interest

    Self-Immolation, Vice Media Left for Dead in Malaysia, A Soft and Quiet Zone of Interest

    Corrections: Anat Schwartz is 45, not 20 something. Even worst. And the man holding a gun on Aaron Bushnell was not a cop. He was probably an Israeli security guard. The conversation covers various topics, including self-immolation in protest, media coverage and suppression, the downfall of Vice Media, the importance of backing up digital content, virtual reality, the failure of corporations, and a controversial New York Times article. The conversation delves into the issue of fake news and unethical reporting by the New York Times. It highlights the debunking of a false story and the lack of fact-checking by the newspaper. The podcast 'Caliphate' is mentioned as another example of the New York Times' questionable reporting. The history of the New York Times in legitimizing the Iraq War and its biased agenda in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are discussed. The conversation also includes movie reviews of 'Zone of Interest' and 'Soft and Quiet,' which draw parallels to the situation in Palestine.

    Something Stinks at Columbia University but Thailand rules! (Feat. Davidson Boswell)

    Something Stinks at Columbia University but Thailand rules! (Feat. Davidson Boswell)

    On this episode, Gabe and Sameer have comedian Davidson Boswell on the podcast. He joins us after recently returning from performing comedy for a couple months in Thailand. We learn more about performing comedy abroad and his travels in Asia.

    We also talk about the protests at Columbia University, the "skunk water" attacks from IDF soldiers who happen to also go to school there and the non-existent response from the administration.

    NOTE: Sameer's mic crapped out toward the end of the episode and we had to make the tough call of still publishing it after it wasn't salvagable. Don't worry, we figured out the problem and it won't be an issue next episode.

    War Crimes Lawyers, Unerotic Dutch People, Jews for Peace w/ Jess Salomon

    War Crimes Lawyers, Unerotic Dutch People, Jews for Peace w/ Jess Salomon

    This week we sit down with comedian, lawyer, and keyboard warrior Jess Salomon. We talk about life working at the Hague, Jewish summer camps, trips to Gaza, being married to a Palestinian woman, the Artist's Way, human rights, and being a Jewish person who isn't into Zionism. Jess Salomon is a New York based Canadian comedian, who has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

    She’s been a Stand Up NBC finalist, done lots of cool festivals including Just for Laughs. Her debut album, “All the Best Choices” came out in 2019 with label, 800 Pound Gorilla which will soon release her debut comedy special and second album, "Sad Witch".

    You can also watch her comedy special, “Marriage of Convenience” on the Just for Laugh’s YouTube channel, recorded with her wife as part of their duo act @theelsalomons.

    Fun fact: before comedy Jess used to be a U.N. war crimes lawyer. The jury is still out on whether this was a good move.
