Summary
It’s Chit Chat Wednesday, and Jared is joined by comedian Raanan Hershberg, whose new YouTube special Morbidly Jewish sparks a thoughtful, funny conversation about comedy, controversy, and why labels kill nuance. They dig into what it’s like doing standup in a time when even obvious jokes about bad people somehow become “debates.” From antisemitism discourse to why audiences sometimes seem offended by the mere act of joking, it’s a ranty, smart back-and-forth on why comedy still matters. Then things take a turn toward food, where the two bond over Katz’s Deli, gluttonous pastrami sandwiches, and the chaos of ordering as a team.
