Rise and shine fever dreamers. Look alive, my friends. I'm B. Spear. And I'm Sammy Sage. And this is American Fever Dream, presented by Betches News, where we explore the absurdities and oddities of our uniquely American experience. Hey, oh, welcome to the show. We are recording this on December 2nd to pre-bank some episodes for the holidays

because we want you to have some good listening for when you are traveling.

Taking that sleigh ride to Grandma's house.

Avoiding your family, whatever you might be doing.

You're listening to something very important.

Are there Jewish holiday songs? You know,

like how we have like dashing through the snow and a one horse open. There's dreidel, dreidel,

dreidel. If you're spinning the dreidel right now, I hope you're listening. Yeah. There's dreidel,

there's, you know, eight crazy nights out of Sandler. We have pretty cool songs for our holidays, but y'all have better food, I think.

You think?

Yeah, those little hematashen cookies.

I fucking love those.

Those are puram.

They're okay.

Poppy seed roll.

So delicious.

Yeah, they're okay.

Who doesn't love a lacca?

Okay, laccas are the best.

I will say lockas, Hanukkah are the best. I will say Laka's, Hanukkah has the best. The little smoked trout in all that business.

Oh, like, that's like all year round. That's just. I'm just saying Jewish people have delicious foods.

I appreciate you saying that. We have good stuff. We have good stuff. It's all like fatty kind of like stuff though. I feel like I eat Jewish food and I feel like good about myself. It's like good for your gut health. I eat like, you know, my Catholic holiday food. Have you had matza?
