"Zionists for Zohran" with Adam Malev
Tuesday, 11 August, 2026
Adam Malev has performed at over 1,000 stand-up shows, built an app that maps every open mic in New York City, and once did a full minute of 9/11 jokes on Kill Tony. He's a proud Zionist, the self-proclaimed last Jew in his family's lineage, and — brace yourself — a genuine, non-satirical Zohran Mamdani voter.Margarita was sure the "Zionist for Zohran" bit was a joke. It is not. This episode is a real-time reckoning, a lot of laughing, and zero eye-to-eye. They stay friends anyway.Follow Adam on Instagram @adammalev & @malevcomedySupport our work: buymeacoffee.com/peoplejewwannaknowWhat We Discuss:00:00 Intro & Episode Agenda05:04 From EY consultant to full-time comedian07:30 Building Comediq, the open mic app09:00 Last Jew in the family 13:00 Zionist for Zohran, explained (and not satire)17:00 Affordability, potholes, and the case for Mamdani20:00 Synagogue buffer zones and Jewish safety24:00 The @Antisemitism account and manufactured outrage27:00 Kill Tony regrets and the Jewish Kanye West31:30 Closing Remarks & Guest Nomination
