Yael Bar-tur (0:00)

Everyone's got a hot take on what it means to be Jewish right now, but ours is the hottest. But that only works because Arc Plus members keep the lights on. Help us keep the laughs going by joining Arc Plus at arcmedia.org. And to our members, thank you.

You are listening to an Arc Media podcast. Hi, welcome to Chosen People Problems, where a secular, sinful Israeli speaks to her holy religious friend. I'm Yael, here with ChayaLeah. There is a lot of us this week.

ChayaLeah Sufrin (0:30)

It was a big week. There's a lot of Yael and ChayaLeah content, but hopefully people are enjoying it.

Yael Bar-tur (0:37)

As far as the eye can see and the ear can hear, really.

ChayaLeah Sufrin (0:40)

I mean, I have nothing left to say to you, so I'm not sure how we continue this podcast.

Yael Bar-tur (0:44)

But I'm just asking ChatGPT for a prompt, so like how to talk to my holy religious friend.

ChayaLeah Sufrin (0:51)

Oh, my gosh. Well, today we have a special treat for, I mean, it was a treat for us and hopefully for all of our listeners as well, because we did an episode with Dan Senor, who we've been waiting a long time to be part of his network. This is so exciting.

Yael Bar-tur (1:07)

We want to help promote his show a little bit. Yes, we felt... We want to give him a little push.

ChayaLeah Sufrin (1:10)

Correct, right. That's why we went on and did his Ask Me Anything, Call Me Back, Ask Me Anything episode with him, so that hopefully he can grow his audience.

Yael Bar-tur (1:20)

Yeah, yeah. Give him a listen, will you? Yeah, he's got a good thing going.

No, but we're very excited. We actually were guests on this week's Call Me Back, Ask Me Anything, which I thought was really fun. You thought was really fun.

ChayaLeah Sufrin (1:36)

I did.

Yael Bar-tur (1:37)

Hopefully Dan thought was really fun too. But I think the listeners are going to like it because it's a little side of this whole endeavor that you don't really see. And we'll be right back.

Here's a Chosen People Problem we can actually solve.

ChayaLeah Sufrin (2:03)

Finally, because we're not doing anti-Semitism today.

Yael Bar-tur (2:05)

No, I'm over it. Today we're doing money, and specifically how you should be spending yours.

ChayaLeah Sufrin (2:09)

How you should be spending your money on us.

You did great, by the way. You're really good at this podcasting.

Dan Senor (3:49)

You know, I know how to read a document that Alon and the team put in front of me. I can do that. The more things get dangerous is when I go freestyle and just improvise.
