## Synopsis

On the second week of **Octdoughberblessed**, the 'boys are joined by Evan Susser (*Fist Fight*, *Sonic the Hedgehog*) and David Phillips (*Brooklyn Nine-Nine*) to talk about their new podcast venture, their respective religious upbringings, and their visit to the longstanding LA Jewish restaurant: Canter's Deli. Plus, another edition of Hot or Not.

## Nick's intro

A reading from the Old Testament, New Revised Standard version, Book of Leviticus, Chapter 11:

*The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron saying to them, "Speak to the people of Israel, saying 'from among all the land animals, these are the creatures that you may eat: any animal that has divided hoofs and is cleft-footed and chews the cud such you may eat. But among those that chew the cud or have divided hoofs, you shall not eat the following: the camel - for even though it chews the cud, it does not have divided hoofs, it is unclean for you; the rock badger - for even though it chews the cud, it does not have divided hoofs, it is unclean for you; the hare - for even though it chews the cud, it does not have divided hoofs, it is unclean for you; the pig - for even though it has divided hooves and is cleft-footed, it does not chew the cud, it is unclean for you. Of their flesh, you shall not eat and their carcasses you shall not touch, they are unclean for you.*

*These you may eat: Of all that are in the waters, everything is in the waters that have fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the streams, such you may eat. But anything in the seas or the streams that does not have fins and scales, of the swarming creatures in the waters, and among all the other living creatures that are in the waters, they are detestable to you, and detestable they shall remain, of their flesh you shall not eat and their carcasses you shall regard as detestable. Everything in the waters that does not have fins and scales is detestable to you.*

This week on *Doughboys,* we continue **Octdoughberblessed**, our month-long exploration of religious chain restaurants, and investigate the American tradition of the Jewish deli with an LA legend: Canter's Deli.
