The Shady Shiva and Food Etiquette
The segment opens with a lighthearted discussion about Shiva etiquette, specifically regarding bringing food. Dan Le Batard and David Samson initially disagree on whether it's mandatory to bring food to a Shiva. Samson clarifies that while it's not mandatory, it's expected to bring something, and more importantly, the correct food. He explains that the family in mourning shouldn't have to do anything, including cooking or answering the door. Samson then reveals a nuanced aspect of Shiva tradition: for someone who dies of old age (80s or 90s), food is involved and often brought before the Shiva starts. However, for a tragic loss of someone in their 20s, no food is involved, and the family eats before the Shiva begins. This distinction is crucial, as the latter is meant to be a more somber occasion. Le Batard expresses surprise at this detail, admitting he wasn't aware of the discrepancy. This leads to a humorous accusation from the co-hosts that Samson, despite being consulted for Jewish advice, sometimes misleads them.
