Marla and Libby are back this week with a B-I-G announcement! Their good friend (and your former co-host) has reached a major milestone in her relationship! With engagement season in full swing, the Schmuckgirls discuss what conversations couple’s should be having before popping the question. and what not to ask couples attending engagement parties. The girls then give their Purim recaps and discuss why people’s actions don’t always line up with their words. Libby and Marla give their dating updates and discuss the topic of being a serial dater.

The Schmuckgirls then welcome the amazing co-host of American-ish, Adela Cojab. They start off learning about Adela’s Jewish identity and discussing the traditions of different types of Jews. She also shares how she went from not wanting to be the “Jewish girl” in college to suing NYU for antisemitism and how that lead her down the path of becoming an activist and soon-to-be lawyer. The three talk about antisemitism on college campuses and Adela gives advice on how students should deal with it. Adela then talks to the girls about how her and co-host, Mariam Wahba, started their podcast, American-ish, where they discuss a variety of topics, often related to being the daughters of immigrants. They then discuss how having a public platform can affect dating lives and end with a game of “Mensch or Schmuckboy.”
