Two comedians walk into a bar…one is Jewish one is not…..
Just listened to a new WTF Podcast with comedian Will Franken and they had an interesting chat about Jewish people.
For those who don’t listen to the podcast, Marc Marron, the host of the show is a Jewish comedian who has New Jersey roots but grew up in New Mexico. The show is usually him interviewing comedians. He is not an observant Jew and has some hang-ups about his faith but seems to have the usual Jewish pride, especially for someone in comedy. I am curious to know what my friends, (+ all my readers, groupies, fans) members of the tribe or not, think of this discussion and Franken’s comments as well as his tone. I have some opinions but wondering first what others think....
Marc has a few minute introduction before the interview and then the Jewish part of the chat is at the beginning of the interview. The rest of it is kind of deep for a comedy interview, the guy seems pretty messed up and kind of angry, they get into talk about drugs, religion, problem childhood, etc. you don’t need to listen to the whole thing. There are many which are much more interesting and funny but check out from like 10 minutes in until around 25 minutes. Discuss.....
