A2 THE SHOW #517Our next guest on A2 THE SHOW is Michel Kammoun, a Lebanese-French filmmaker and director best known for his award-winning feature film Falafel. From studying architecture in Lebanon to pursuing cinema in Paris, Michel has built a remarkable career driven by storytelling, creativity, and resilience.In this episode, Michel shares his filmmaking journey, the realities of creating cinema in Lebanon, the challenges of independent film financing, artistic burnout, the connection between architecture and cinema, and why passion continues to drive Lebanese filmmakers despite limited resources. We also explore the power of collaboration, maintaining creative vision, and how cinema transcends culture to connect humanity through shared experiences.

Nicole Kidman revealed her biggest deal breaker is bad breath after Alexander Skarsgård ate a falafel sandwich before their Big Little Lies kissing scene and she told him to put it away immediately. Harry Styles was spotted on the Brooklyn Bridge with Zoe Kravitz and stopped to fist bump fans who were literally listening to his album, asking what their favorite song was, and apparently has the softest hands—plus fans are convinced he's developing an Australian accent based on how he says "pain au chocolat" and "out."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our next guest is the owner of Ragadan and A Pizza Pie in Uptown. He reflects on his family's journey to Oklahoma City from Amman, Jordan. It's not too often you find a joint that serves great burgers and falafel. Despite the fast casual nature of his restaurants, he'd like to find a way to bring more traditional Jordanian dishes like mansaf to the community. The question is what it's going to cost him.

Amongst vegans, things don't get much more divisive than this question. Even Cats UK were sitting on the fence https://www.cats.org.uk/media/1023/eg12_indoor_and_outdoor_cats.pdf Nonetheless, Shane, Julie & Ant try to approach this question in as balanced way as possible.

Blimey. That's the good news; the bad news is that it takes us 37 minutes to get to some good news this week! Still, knowledge has the potential to empower us, so we stand by reporting on these things. This week Ant is back & joins Shane dissect nine bits of news from the last week in the vegan & animal rights space.****************Enough of the Falafel is a community of people who love keeping on top of the latest news in the world of veganism & animal rights.

Perhaps when you've needed to pay folk to lie on social media to help you try and win? In this episode of Vegan Talk, we examine an anonymous reddit article, where a user discloses the things that they (and others) were paid to do on behalf of the meat industry (https://plantbasednews.org/news/meat-industry-paid-to-discredit-veganism/). Is this a sign that animal ag is beginning to crumble? Or evidence that animal advocates will always be fighting an unfair fight?

It's one of Mike's favorite all-time political media stories - Bill O'Reilly sexually harassing one of his producers and confusing loofahs with falafels.  Well, it resurfaced in recent years, and you better believe "We'll do it LIVE!"

Esel: Sag mal, Teddy, wollen wir das Thema heute wirklich noch aufmachen? Mir ist das ehrlich gesagt Banane. Teddy: Jetzt spiel nicht das sortierte Studentenfutter. Hier geht's um B12, da kann man nicht einfach so tun, als wäre nichts. Esel: Na gut, aber eins sag ich dir gleich: Alles hat ein Ende, und wenn wir hier nicht aufpassen, drehen wir uns im Kreis wie ne Spiralkartoffel. Teddy: Möglich. Trotzdem solltest du nicht gleich eine Extraportion Mandeldrink verlangen, nur weil dir der erste Gedanke nicht schmeckt. Esel: Ach komm, sonst heißt es wieder Rache ist Nuss, und am Ende mache ich dich noch zur Falafel. Teddy: Das würde ich an deiner Stelle lassen. Du versuchst dich hier doch gerade nur durchs Sojahack zu mogeln. Esel: Mag sein. Aber ich sehe schon wieder deine Gurkentaktik: erst kleine Scheiben, dann plötzlich das große Ganze. Teddy: Wenn du so weitermachst, fange ich an, die Durian zu riechen. Irgendwas stinkt doch hier. Esel: Jetzt laber mir nicht Datteln ans Ohr. Du wohnst doch gedanklich sowieso schon im Tempura-Ring. Teddy: Besser als ständig drum herumzureden. Also: ran an die Fritten! Esel: Moment, bevor wir loslegen, sollten wir die Sache vielleicht noch wie Tofu auspressen und alles rausholen, was drinsteckt. Teddy: Einverstanden. Aber danach ist wirklich Schluss. Mir ist das dann wieder völlig Banane. Esel: Abgemacht. Und wenn nicht, weißt du ja: Rache ist Nuss. Danke für die Idee, germanwithsammy! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQ5DJoJjrG5/

Ja, da regt alleine die Frage schon auf. Den einen geht das Steakmesser in der Hose auf, den anderen schwillt der Falafel. Vielleicht gibt es aber wirklich einen sinnvollen Kompromiss, der Tierwohl, Nachhaltigkeit, Gesundheit unter einen Hut kriegt? Und wär ja auch nicht falsch, wenn Essen schmeckt. In dieser Folge polarisieren unsere Flexperten Dirk und Nils. Dirk Freyberger ist der wahrscheinlich zweitbekannteste Fleischfluencer Nürnbergs. Nur der bayrische Ministerpräsident hat mit Wurstcontent mehr Social Media-Präsenz. Dirk Freyberger hat zusammen mit seinem Bruder den elterlichen Betrieb übernommen und ein Fleisch-Imperium geschaffen. Onlineversand, Grillseminare, YouTube Kanal und Catering. Dirk ist amtierender Barbecue-Weltmeister und Vizeweltmeister im Metzgerhandwerk. Er macht einen klaren Unterschied zwischen Haus- und Nutztieren und erinnert daran, dass ein Rind nicht nur aus Filet besteht. Sein Appell: Bitte auch mal an die Innereien wagen, das ist nicht nur nachhaltig, sondern auch wertschätzend. Nils Steiger hingegen krümmt selbst einer Mücke keins ihrer Beinchen, auch wenn sie in Begriff, mit dem Rüssel zur Tat zu schreiten. Stichwort: Speziesismus. Alle Lebewesen haben für Nils das gleiche Recht auf Leben, und so war es eine logische Konsequenz, eine vegane Fleischerei zu eröffnen. Mittlerweile gibt es Filialen in fast allen großen deutschen Städten. Es gibt offensichtlich Bedarf. Denn „nur weil einem die Tiere am Herzen liegen, heiß das ja nicht, dass einem Fleisch nicht schmeckt“, sagt Nils. Was ist dran am schlechten Ruf der Fleischersatzprodukte? Schmecken nicht, teuer, randvoll mit Zusatzstoffen? Nils gibt Auskunft. Und es gibt auch harte Fakten von der Uni Bonn. Juliana Minetto Gellert Paris hat im Rahmen ihrer Doktorarbeit das „One Health Prinzip“ untersucht. Sie ist also der Frage nachgegangen, was ist die beste Ernährungsvariante, bei der man sowohl das Tierwohl, die Umwelt als auch die eigene Gesundheit am besten im Blick hat.

John gets his vegan friends a falafel waffle, which turns out not to be thoughtful. He also has to remind his wife that he can't see his own butt. 

Sind Guilty Pleasures heute noch ein Ding? Und was waren die bisherigen eigentlich? Es gibt Sachen, die passen erst mal nicht zusammen. Früher hat Casper dafür zum Beispiel den Weg geebnet, um sich neu zu entdecken. Und heute? Manchmal reicht ein kurzer Spaziergang durch Berlin-Mitte, um sich neu zu erfinden. Eine neue Trinkflasche für sie, die eine unaufgeregte Sportlichkeit suggeriert. Oder ein Tuch für die Haare, das die innere Magd, aber auch den inneren Popstar channelt. Warum nicht? Er hat sich derweil Feenflügel übergeworfen und die Pride gefeiert. So viel sei gesagt: Es gab einen Kuss. Aber vorher auch Falafel mit Zwiebeln.Schreibt doch mal wieder: hallo@zsvpodcast.deUnseren Instagram-Account findet ihr hier: https://www.instagram.com/zsvpodcastUnd hier geht's direkt zu TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zumscheiternverurteilt+++ Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?
