A lot of technical difficulties, complaining, and general rust in this episode. We start shorthanded (00:01-12:35), Menachem complains a lot (12:35-25:01), throw out some ideas for Heimishe Xmas greetings (25:30-30:01), then wrap up with the Mizrach Vant of Jewish Smells (32:41-61:50).

After 2 months of multiple health screens and asking our hosts to quarantine, we surprised ourselves with an episode where we could pretend things were normal for an hour and twenty minutes. We've got minyan and election updates (3:56-12:45), address why we're not on SayMazelTov (13:31-20:34), and Shailos U'tshuvos (20:35-31:08). We then have a fascinating, wide-ranging interview with comedian Zvi Hershkovich ("Cholentface"), talk about his time as a shliach in Russia and how he got thrown out (33:10-59:34), followed by the MV of Jewish Foods (60:00-83:24).

We're back with the season finale of our inaugural season, and we're here to answer all your questions about the world's #2 frum podcast. We reflect on how far we've come (not very), and to whence we go (2:03-5:09), followed by Minyan Updates and some weird Shemonah Esrei Thoughts (5:23-15:06). We then answer a bunch of listener-submitted FAQs about the show (15:09-31:34). In honor of Elul, we were joined by Moshe Kolat for the MV of Kabbalos No One Sticks To (35:30-57:53).

In honor of our 30th episode, we bring back our first-ever guest, @aimhumor, for an entire episode*. We discuss his foray into podcasting, why people need to stop blaming every little thing on 2020, words Jews shouldn't say in public, how we Jews love when non-Jews say or do Jewish things, and a slew of other topics (1:35-38:18). Shemonah Esrei thoughts include commemorative davening jacket patches and dating future Roshei Yeshiva (39:03-44:45). We then close with the Mizrach Vant of Shul Jerks (46:00-71:39).

In honor of Tu B'Av, and by popular demand, we've got a ton of dating/shidduchim talk. First, we start by taking a look back at a meaningful Nine Days/Tisha B'Av (2:30-5:47), Minyan Updates (6:28-14:01). Next, we get into Call Her Shadchan/Tu B'Av talk, where the married hosts sit back and let the single guy just go off on his dating experiences, including the wildest shadchan story you'll ever hear (14:30-38:23). We cap the discussion with the Mizrach Vant of Unwritten Dating Rules (38:23-57:24). We then transition into a very informative discussion with the one and only "Bitcoin Rabbi", Rabbi Michael Caras, who unmasks the mystery behind the cryptocurrency (57:24-1:21:00).
The Nine Days are here and we're miserable. Minyan Updates include comparing Nine Days Siyumim and Super Bowl parties and unfortunate business names (2:26-9:01). Menachem's Shemonah Esrei Thought spurs an insightful discussion about serving idols in today's day and age (9:08 - 17:05). We then have a fascinating, wide-ranging interview with world-renowned performer/singing sensation/electric personality Yoni Z, where we discuss his unconventional foray into the music scene, his personal brand of music, influences, and his personal tricks of the trade to impress a Pesach hotel audience (18:01-56:03). We follow that with a HILARIOUS and wildly nostalgic Mizrach Vant of Yeshivish Non-Jewish Artists/Bands (56:05-85:00). Seriously, it's high school all over again.

It's summer and that means fun and fasting. Get through the next 18 hours - and commute upstate? with us. Because we know you're just looking to kill time. We introduce a new sponsor - Tam Tams, ever heard of them? - then discuss our love of the 3 Weeks (2:30-6:50). Minyan Updates include plugging another frum podcast and debating 3 Weeks vs Ramadan (7:03-10:30), followed by Shailos U'tshuvos and the shortest Bein Gavra L'gavra ever (10:31-23:50). We then discuss the Mizrach Vant of Fast Day Activities (23:54-40:09), followed by 5-star reviews and a listener voicemail (40:11-52:06). The last 5 minutes got weird. Not responsible for inaccurate timestamps. See episode for more details.
Thank you to our beloved sponsor, Tam Tams. Let us know @backoftheshul how you Tam Tam.
We're back with an extra-long episode that you must listen to in one sitting. Minyan updates include reaffirming our commitment to you during these challenging/unprecedented/difficult times (1:30-15:12). We introduce a new segment called Shailos U'tshuvos, where we ask questions like who is the most famous non-politician in America (15:30-26:00), and then read some 5-star reviews you guys left us (26:20-28:00). Hilarious interview with frum comedian Eli Lebowicz (28:00-1:10:00), followed by Mizrach Vant of Comedians (1:10:00-1:27:00). Remember, you can only listen to this in one sitting.
We stick up for Passaic (00:06-3:30), give some minyan updates (3:40-5:30), followed by an epic Bein Gavra L'gavra featuring a breakdown of the greatest YWN op-ed (that seems generous) of all time. Great shemonah esrei thoughts (which have you said more: Hamelech Hamishpat or Korbanos?), followed by a very enjoyable Mizrach Vant of Catskills Hotspots (24:05-46:33). We finish it off with a listener voicemail.
PLEASE NOTE: NO EPISODES NEXT WEEK
We ask a priest all the questions we as Jews have ever had (1:10-18:30). Wide-ranging, star-studded (sort of) Mizrach Vant of GOATs/goats with R' Shuel Kunda's (a"h) great-nephew (18:31-36:56). Not responsible for inaccurate time stamps.
