Summary

The holiday season is no excuse for the news cycle to stop turning, and boy - did it turn! From the maritime talks between Israel and Lebanon that are causing a skirmish, through protests on the streets of Iran, to a new political autobiography on bookshop shelves - there’s a lot to catch up on, and luckily we’re here to fill you in.  Our special guest this week is financial columnist for the New York Times, anchor for CNBC and Emmy award winner Andrew Ross Sorkin. He joins Yonit and Jonathan for a conversation about the global economic crisis and will it develop into a total crash in the markets, the sustainability of the high cost living in Israel and the U.K., and of course - Jewish mothers, because no guest on this podcast gets a waver from that question. -- Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unholypodcast/and X: https://x.com/2jewsonthenewsJoin our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1150578065793142 Subscribe to our blog: https://unholypodcast.substack.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're talking elections. We're talking the global economy with our special guest,

0:14.6

Economic Sage, Andrew Ross Sorkin, Elon Musk, Israel and Lebanon, and a possible breakthrough deal with them.

Bibi checks into the hospital. It's unholy. I'm Jonathan Friedland of The Guardian in London.

And I'm Unilevi of Channel 12 in Tel Avic.

Unholy, Tud on the news from Keshe podcast is the season to change our name, temporarily to holy, I think, dropping anything that sounds sacrilegious. How is the fast, Jonathan?

0:56.8

Well, one of the perks of late middle age that I've discovered is that you actually fast quite well.

1:03.9

I think it means you've got sort of reserves there to draw on, not to be too unkind to those people of my age and weight.

1:09.9

But I think you have reserves to draw upon. And so it's easier. And I see my son's fasting.

1:12.5

And actually, one of them now 21 is sort of,

1:18.1

I think he's now over the worst, but the one who's still a teenager, 18, I mean, you know,

1:22.4

my heart goes out because it is so hard fasting at that age. You're just the lightheadedness.

1:29.4

You just, it's a struggle. But no, I found it, I was well over the fast to use that Anglo-Jewish formulation.

1:35.7

What about you, Yon, because I know you are unusual among Israelis in that you do fast. Well, you know, unusual among, you know, non-Orthodox Israelis, but you do fast.

1:52.5

You know that in my...

1:53.5

That's what I meant. I just said it less elegantly.

1:55.7

That's exactly what I'm...

1:56.6

It's usually the other way around, so I'm basking in the novelty of being a little bit more elegant than you. It doesn't happen often. And so you know that 50% of the parent unit in our household does not fast. And 50% does. That's me. And actually, I've always found it quite easy. The not eating was never difficult for me. The not drinking was the sort of tricky part. And I always have

this terrible splitting headache in the last three hours of the fast this year being no different.
