Getting to Know Jew

Getting To Know Jew

Ryan Metcalfe (not a Jew) and Gilli Apter (pretty Jewish) attempt to break down stereotypes about Jewish culture, trying to understand why they exist at all. It's everything you always wanted to know about modern Jewry but were too afraid to ask. From big noses to the money thing to bacon - what's the deal there really? No stone is left unturned. Getting to Know Jew is published weekly.

    19. It's Depend

    We're both suffering from illnesses of the voice this week. That doesn't stop us from discussing Yiddish words and their relevance in modern English. And then, to be honest, guys, the rest of the episode is really just us talking about Drake.
