When worlds collide
 

I love Jordan and Jesse so when my worlds collide I'm just giddy the whole time. It's funny when Israel/Palestine came up and Jesse suddenly couldn't be heard from. I'm surprised he even brought up "the troubles".

Love them.

And we’re gonna find everyone’s human.

Aw you guys read my review! 🥲 I’m pleasantly surprised you dug into old reviews to find mine.

If any other forum members haven’t reviewed, please do so we can crowd out the 1 star haters.

It was fun to catch yours! Thanks again!

I was very satisfied with the show.
Also I’ve seen picture of Jesse before without the beard and was surprised by it on the show picture.
Wonder if there is a story?

Edit:
Saw current pictures and beard looks better.

The last review on my European dashboard or German dashboard is my review.
I don’t even know if you get to see it.

What a treat! Just a bunch of pros doing what they do best.

I greatly appreciate how Keith has been able to see that there isn't a "both sides" when it comes to antiblackness/racism in in America and has been able to better understand the implications of the "whiteness" he was raised with....I hope this dialog will help you all (specifically Chemda) to recognize that zionism is a form white supremacy.

There is a clear and evident line between #BlackLivesMatter and #FreePalestine, this conversation shows that maybe you guys aren't truly educated on of what the movement is really about (ex. please research US. Police forces receiving training from IDF) --- As a "non-white appearing" person, it's easy to assume Chemda understands racial dynamics but when she speaks on things that effect people further marginalized than her intersections of identity, it shows that she is clearly effected by her privileged/zionist/racist upbringing.

"Both the United States and Israel are European settler colonial states built on the exclusionary ideology of white supremacy. Both states have a white ruling class that maintains its grip on power through the ongoing exploitation, killing, and displacement of Black, brown, and Indigenous communities." - https://uscpr.org/learn/togetherwerise/freedombound

I think it would be greatly beneficial to seek out the voices and experiences of Palestinian people/activist/historians to speak on the apartheid that is occurring and to establish more context from the perspective of the marginalized people (Palestinian/Arab) experiencing oppression from the privileged class of racist (zionist) .

Please note that i'm consciously using the term "zionist" and not "Jewish" because I understand that those are two separate experiences/identities, as you can be a person who cares about the historical plight of Jewish people or be a Jew without resorting to zionism.

"Nonetheless, Zionism is "not a Jewish phenomenon. . . . Zionist thought was fully formulated" by non-Jews and even anti-Semites. This "sheds light" on the creation of Zionism-it is "actually a scheme to rid Europe of its Jews"."

You had me at links. Thank you!!!

OH.

HECK.

YES.

I found Jesse around the same time I found KATG on Podcast Alley, way back in the Wild West podcast landscape days in '05. At the time I test-drove all of the Top 30-ish shows in the PA Comedy section (KATG was either #1 or #2, vying with Dawn and Drew) and Jesse's "The Sound of Young America" (renamed a few years ago to "Bullseye") was in there somewhere.

It turned out that only 4 of those Top 30 were worth a damn and TSOYA was one of them (the other two were history by 2008), and for the last SIXTEEN MOTHER-EFFING YEARS I've been DREAMING of the day either KATG would be on TSOYA/Bullseye/JJGo or Jesse would be on KATG.

This episode was nothing short of MAGICAL.

Finally got around to this episode, just in time for the cease fire.

Like Chemda, I was raised with the one sided rhetoric about Israel and Palestine (Jewish day school and all). It really is so difficult to view this in an unbiased way and it's also heartbreaking to see many people dying yet again over this. It's hard not to side with Israel when my family is running to bomb shelters in the middle of the night but at least my family does have bomb shelters to run to and kipat barzel (iron dome defense) to protect them. Also, Israelis need to get the fuck out of East Jerusalem, what the fuck. I'm glad we're approaching a cease fire but I know this is just another temporary stop and people will keep dying.

Less depressingly; Xerxes, Shoko Besakit is well worth the trip, rockets and all!

Chemda, do you cut the corner of the bag or rip it with your teeth? I always rip, not fancy enough for scissors.
