JDF

1 877

Max Budynek

I haven't been in America for a decade and I could still hear the jingle before you played it. Certified good song

Elliot

Ok, so I have always thought that the kars4kids theme song was sang by Pete Seeger and I think I am wrong

Hank

True Anon remix of a cumtown classic

ParagonDeku

I have a pair of Fiveish branded socks I got at a thrift store half a decade ago. They’re my lucky socks for card tournaments. I don’t usually win.

Ben H

Fiveiiiish this is Jimmy Hoffaaaaa

Dan Z

Why does it only sound antiskemetic when YC does the voice?

John Lemieux

I’ve heard this episode of cumtown already

crunk

Fiveish, one of nick’s favorite characters

Bess C

Oh god no not Fiveish. I feel antisemitic just thinking about him

Jawn Feddermang

i go to a pharmacy in an orthodox neighborhood and it does seem like the boys are having fun (always fucking around on lil scooters) meanwhile like 8 year old girls are busy running errands getting groceries and shit its wiiiiild

Jacob Ford

Woah I just came across Charlie’s K4K YouTube video last week. Very True editing.

christian

i saw the title and thought this was gonna be about kash patel. trueanon always keeping me on my toes.

Ian H

So my dad was a special education teacher in MD for many years, and one of the main ways that the private school he taught at was funded was through IEPs (Individual Education Plans). Essentially, if a kid was suspected of having a learning/developmental disability or other qualifying issue, the school district was required to get a specialist assessment and create a plan laying out the additional support/instruction the student needed. Then if the parents could successfully argue that a private institution was better equipped to provide those supports than the local public school, they could enroll them in private school and the public school district was on the hook for part of the tuition and other costs. A well-meaning policy that probably did help some kids but on the aggregate definitely starved public schools of resources, and it's also easily gamed by religious schools or unscrupulous actors.

evelyn 💗

that’s not fiveish that’s yap dolla

wormhole

my grandma left me in a hot car for awhile once, but it was in maplewood

Mountain Dew Or Crab Juice

Ultra Orthodox religious communities and believing that early 19th century technological advancement is the perfect level of existence for humanity: name a more iconic duo.

Carlos

Definitely well meaning but almost feels designed to bleed money from public schools. I always wondered why the funds don’t come from the state rather than the local district.

Alexander

Thought that was Bernd das Brot on the image and got excited! Sadly its only Fiveish 💵

Richard Cochnar

Instantly recognized Fiveish because of Cumtown.

Austin Nutter

I say that about Dresden every time I have to operate a piece of German industrial equipment with like 5 nested menus to perform basic operations

ResilientBastard

Zohran is going to deputized the Shomrim to enforce shariah on everyone and really blow everybody’s mind.

Vincent

Brace, can you please sing "I don't wanna work, I just wanna study torah all day" but in the Voice?

Ryan

Jewish murder detective? Have you ever read The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Chabon?

sarah

Nice work YC

Jill

Does anyone recall what book Brace said he read recently?

Eli Jennings

This is all a nick mullen psyop

mexicanhalloween .

I think Madame Tussauds hopes for more german celebrities because it makes their job so much easier

Jack Ross

I really needed this particular episode today. Thank Christ.

Jack Ross

Gotta refer to them as your “stinkin’ Linc’ins” now

dk

Shout out to “rancho relaxo” (iirc), a punk house in Lakewood that did lots of shows mid 00s that had a basketball court and swimming pool as it was very cheap to rent there.

Jake Torrey

Brace could 100% play a Columbo-esque detective.

Cian Ó Ciarubháin

Thanks for reminding me Fiveish wasn't a Nick Mullen character

Trish R

I actually had no idea about all of this and I grew up in nyc. Seeing those huge billboards along the BQE were just like part of the landscape. Yikes

Susan Beal

Came here to mention the Hindenburg

Matt Macnab

Just randomly started listening to this episode while shoping for groceries in Lakewood New Jersey. What a fucking coincidence.

charlie.com

im so dumb when i heard "Cars for Kids" my first thought was "wow that's such a stupid charity, what are kids gonna do with a car they can't drive"

Eric

I was about to get mad as shit that you didn’t play the jingle but then you did

RyGuy

I’m so happy he mentioned the Puretz family real estate fraud. The Real Deal article was passed around real estate circles and the men mentioned were all blacklisted. Easy to do fraud when all the the players are your cousins!

John Lemieux

I definitely assumed this episode was going to be about Kash Patel

Jawn Feddermang

He’d squint, wrench is face a Juul betwixt his fingers “Just one problem ma’am”

justdave

This is all fine n' all, but what's the solution?

Jordan

Jewry is healing ❤️‍🩹

SHEEBCORE

damn thought this was gonna be Kash Patel

Aiden

Damn, Fiveish off the top!?!

Inmybirkin

Columbus Ohio mentioned 🔥

Sara Pedal

An Oorah brochure showed up at my old place addressed to my roommate who is not Jewish. Asked him wtf it was because it looked so weird. He had no idea why he received it; the only possible connection was that he worked for a company owned by a Jewish guy. It’s interesting to get some background info on all this!

PT

Yes! He’s EXACTLY the right level of annoying to pull off the classic Columbo move of “irritating the culprit into just flat-out admitting their crime”.

Henry

Having worked in this particular area I can attest to the fact that the majority of the kids in question are getting tens of thousands of dollars with little resistance

Henry

Tens of thousands of dollars worth of resources I should say

Sam Zeng

Ok I don't know if these are the best people on earth or the worst.

Homalek

Can’t believe he got YC to do the bit. Excellent

Robert Booth

Every SF Giants commercial break has that damn song! 1-877 go to hell with that song.

Omar Hashem

The kid in the striped pajamas but the friend is an Italian kid at the Catholic camp next door to the Zone

Brooke

I donated my baby blue PT Cruiser to Kars 4 Kids in 2016 - I haven’t listened to the ep yet 😰

CE

Best voices in sports broadcasting, worst commercials.

Robert Booth

Did you get a good tax write off was it worth it?

Schwartz666

This entire episode is an 🚨🚨🚨 info hazard 🚨🚨🚨 In other words, a must listen.

Brent

If this money was invested in the public schools themselves, then they would have the resources to support these kids. Am I dumb?

Marcus

need to change the $5 patreon tier to "Stinkin' Lincoln"

Nothingburger Burgerreich

It’s a PT cruiser. If he sunk it in a pond it would be worth raising the water line closer to my chair

Samwell Ganges

I wish Felix was here to see this RIP

justdave

Ummm Hitler was jewish actually

Axel

Fiveish was doing ads for Xiaohongshou on Instagram reels

OG original genghis

Thought we wouldn’t notice that Liz hardly in this epi

JV

cannot recommend highly enough Israel Shahak's "Jewish history, Jewish religion" book on this topic of the whole history and development of classical and orthodox Judaism, the kind of mind boggling genocidal racism and anti intellectualism which defines it, and how it relates to the way Israel has developed. only 100 pages, can find pdf easily on Google

malpertuis

Anyone have a link to Mr. Moe's YouTube video he mentions?

malpertuis

Brilliant! Thank you.

Nathan Bebo

Liz is getting squeezed out in terms of air time. Bad for the pod

PT

Some of the orthodox Jewish community talk rang weirdly similar to stuff I’ve seen with Muslims and Hindus lol (probably Christians too? I don’t know much about Christian orthodoxy). Growing up it was common wisdom that the most useless failson cousin in the family would get reallllly into ultra orthodox Islam. The ones I’ve seen usually survived by guilt tripping their relatives for being insufficiently pious until they would fork over some cash.

Max

Liz is already is facing antisemitism allegations, more participation on this topic would have been bad for her image.

Emina

My mom was excited to hear our local issues exposed on the pod

Chris Ryan

Holy fucking shit, I was sous chef at a kosher restaurant run by some Orthodox guys from Lakewood NJ. As soon as it’s a decent hour I will hit the tip line. There is no fucking way they aren’t connected, some of the shadiest people I’ve ever come across in my life.

“The Expendables of antisemitism” - Felix Biederman

Rengalthbert McCruthersby

The one with the kid asking his dad about the games he went to as a kid himself is the worst voice acting I’ve ever heard

Ronin Fredricson

This whole episode I was like "Okay okay, Cars for kids, children's summer camp, chinese auction... How does this pivot to being about Kash Patel?" but it didn't lol. I mean I still liked it I just assumed

Matt bob

Everyone stop right now and watch "Shmorg 7: Where is Fiveish" on youtube. It's a silly music video where fivish and these 4 boys are dropped into locations around the world and dancing. But one of the locations is Jamaica and all the kids are in full blackface with rasta dreads and bongos and straw huts in the background and fivish is singing reggeton. I can not believe more people haven't seen this

radiofreeada

My younger sister went to camp at the Zone. She enjoyed it fine, but undoubtedly it contributed to the development of her political Zionism that later led her to join the IOF. I’ve had a lot of Jewish friends tell me that these summer camps were what led them to support Israel which is an interesting mechanism of Americanism. One has to note the fluidity of the term camp. I also urge people to keep in mind that the majority of American Orthodox Jews are not child molesting luddites, but are regular progressive leaning people. As leftists we should endeavor not to fall into the trap of ethnic conflict. This is not to excuse their support for genocide, but to keep in mind that most Jews live peaceful lives, and while Oorah is undoubtedly exploitative most people who benefit from its mechanisms are not worthy of your scorn.

Email me it to charliemoe@gmail.com as well if you can

William Sallen

A year ago Iowa passed private school vouchers for schools that rely on public school bussing and do not accept students with special needs. The program is already costing the state millions more than budgeted

Nathan Bebo

who's alleging that? i only have the reddit

Gato gris

Lakewood is the biggest shithole in the entire state of NJ

Gato gris

Lakewood is the worst city in the entire state

Rooti Tooti Giuliani

“Welcome to Shtetl talk!” Is what I’m saying next time I see my mom and sister

Willm

How can you have a Jewish five dollar bill mascot and not name it Fivel? All time fumble

Gato gris

Get home safe brother driving through Lakewood is a demolition derby

bobore

Xiaohongshu

Michael Ouderkirk

I paused this podcast SO FAST to watch this and it is the most demented thing I have ever seen.

riley bowers

The idea of the zone being run by barely literate inbreds is so damn funny to me it also makes me wonder like how do they keep this economy working with the state of their community almost impressive lol

Sean

Omg the cover is absolutely diabolical

Patrick B

We live near Kiryas Joel, about 1.5 hours north of NYC. Major Hasidic community here that has been wreaking havoc on the public school system and general municipal infrastructure for quite some time. Water tables are low, traffic issues, and the once pretty strong school district has been impacted for similar reasons outlined in this ep. The area also has one of the highest rates of measles cases in the country as their community generally doesn't get vaccinated. Fascinating if not insane stuff. We moved here from BK (ironically from East Flatbush, another Hasidic stronghold) after our first was born a few years ago. It was one of the few places regionally where we could afford an ok house to rent. But we can 't wait to get out... if only we could afford to sooner - the whole region is insane price-wise.

Rajiv Golla

Might have been cucumber communications because cucumber in Hebrew sounds like “melafaphone” (guess where my wife learned that… summer camp)

lizzy

Fiveish molested me

Joey

oh my god

SF

I work for, um, a government department in NY, and we regulate all the children’s camps, and I work exclusively in one of the borscht belt counties, so I spend every day in the summer going around to do camp inspections. We have approximately 180 camps in the county, and probably 140 of them are orthodox or Hasidic. At the more Hasidic boys camps, they do almost exclusively yeshiva study all day, all summer, maybe with a break once in awhile for swimming, and the girls camps are like arts and crafts and mostly classroom activities. The paperwork and bureaucratic side is a nightmare because the camp ownership is always very muddled and changes often, and the funding sources are extremely obscure. It’s definitely an experience.

SF

Also, Thank You Hashem or “TYH” is another sort of nondescript cartoonish funding/communication/swag-producing org that funds camps, no one I encounter can tell me what it actually is but their social media is BANANAS

Michael S. Judge

the Pound broadcasts for Rome Radio, among their many ... aspects?, aren't so much "traitorous" as "Americans need to recognize that we're on the same side as fascism," and he didn't mean it this way, but by god the boy warn't wrong

not reflective (vampire)

You know it's gonna be fire when you see the comments are turned off for the video (Edit while watching: Jesus fucking christ dude holy shit)

Keith Price

so glad that Charlie highlighted "the monkey" when discussing the prizes, that one’s been bothering me for months. how did they acquire it? why is it THE monkey instead of just A monkey? the whole thing is quite ominous…

Michael S. Judge

apparently it's related to the phrase "monkey on your back," and "giving [someone] the monkey" means fobbing off some kind of duty or problem onto somebody who doesn't understand it yet

mckinley faas

Not to sound like a jerk here but like wow shocking revolution that ppl in charge of a religion would use said religion to manipulate they're idiot followers while not playing by the same rules they tell the idiot followers to play by....story old as time but aye that songs a fuckin bop

Keith Price

ah yeah i suppose that makes more sense than them shipping some sort of cursed monkey to someone’s front porch in a crate

Sexual Harry Potter

If you guys aren’t familiar with prognoz pogodi you need to look him up (I’m sure it’s already on Brace’s reels fyp though )😭 he takes videos from Chinese social media and has fiveish giving poorly translated voiceovers of the text with ai, it’s incredible. You may have to dig a bit I think he had to stop using fiveish because they threatened to sue him

Chapo Bath House

I grew up in Hudderite country, and honestly they were so good at shoplifting. Nothing but respect 🙏

harpy

i am a fuckup who just wants to study torah all day

Chapo Bath House

I wanna see Queeber investigate the ultra Orthodox community in Columbus

iaguz

"mentioned on the podcast currently known as the Adam Friedland Show" well that's one way to refer to it, hehe. Anyway, interesting to learn some fiveish lore. It really is one of the accidentally funniest things in the world.

I was saying boo-lania

One of the midtown shooting victims was the CEO of Blackstone's real estate investment division 😎

Took way too long (1hr) to reference cumtown

Urdnot Wrex

this is crazy news to me cuz i grew up listening to the cars 4 kids ads on radio in the Westcoast, im so glad i didnt fell for it at the end when i was out there trynna sell my scuffed 95 Impala

John Lemieux

What bit? That’s how YC sounds.

Corey

LAKEWOOD NJ MENTIONED. There is such a crazy background context to Lakewood and their relationship with the neighboring towns that's been causing tons of issues that when spoken about makes you sound on the surface antisemitic. But Lakewood residents been accused of encroaching on neighboring towns and aggressively soliciting people to sell their homes in a very uh Isreali settler way. Last time I went home and asked my uncle how he was he said completely unprompted "well the Hasids came to my house again"

Kylo

I wrecked my car checking out fiveish on my iPad, good thing I've got the Kars 4 Kids number memorized

Chas S

great episode- my dad lives in a 55+ community in Toms River, neighboring Lakewood. They cover nearly all the HOA’s needs through the community’s bingo hall. so while the auction might seem strange it is likely a variation on a widespread practice in the region

George Gallowgay

The cars 4 kids jingle sounds like a good song because it has the same melody as a song everyone knows

Special Adeline

So the difference is low functioning orthodox and high functioning orthodox

Leanders

Not me googling at 2am trying to figure out how to spell yetzer hara trap and what it means

LeZero

Hey Fiiiiveish, this is Jimmy Hoffa

EMCsquare

This episode made me laugh so hard I lost oxygen to my brain.

rutjake

i like to think you've established a "billboard beat" between this and shen yun. expecting the parapolitics of injury lawyers next. (actually, what the fuck is up with billboards?)

k

What a ride

Timothy

I really thought this was gonna be about Kash Patel.

JM

We have our very own ultra-Orthodox enclave here in Canada called Kiryas Tosh. I don't know where they stand on Israel, but the other big difference between them and Lakewood is that their town was founded in the '60s. You might assume that it was founded by diasporic descendants of more observant Jews or something because of that, but you'd be mistaken - the Tosher rebbe was Hungarian and spent much of WWII in a labour camp, but he was so religious that the guards thought he was fucking insane and so basically just let him do whatever he wanted until the Red Army came and liberated everyone.

JM

Also I looked up the Oorah Girls’ Zone and it has such gender-specific amenities as ‘The Baking Room’ and ‘The Culinary Room’, as well as a building called ‘The Coliseum’ which the website does not elaborate upon whatsoever. The Boys’ Zone also has a football event of some kind entitled ‘Payday!’ which is accompanied by a picture of a grinning young Jewish boy holding up a wad of cash. The camp does look fun as hell, in all fairness.
