When Your Friend Goes Full Tucker Carlson
Loyalty vs. Principles in Jewish Life
The Tucker Carlson situation has everyone asking the same question: when a friend goes off the deep end morally, do you stay loyal or cut them loose? We dig into this through a Jewish lens, from Talmudic principles to modern media ethics, and get surprisingly personal about struggles with Chabad identity and navigating between Orthodox and liberal Jewish worlds. Also in this episode:
Why there are 20 Christian Bible study groups on one college campus
The Gene Wilder/Mel Brooks origin story
Joe Rogan’s hilariously wrong guess about Jewish demographics
A brutally honest discussion about how we justify breaking our own values (yes, including the hypothetical In-N-Out burger scenario).
Just started listening to this one. Tim Conway. That’s the little guy from the Carol Burnet! Watched every episode with my mom when I was a little kid. I was half laughing at the show and half laughing at my mom losing it with laughter.
This is everything to me. It’s like choosing the golden calf vs the Law.
