Episode 1 • Oct 20, 2009
Episode #1.1
John Safran's been thinking: millions of Muslims are flooding the west. So many Mexicans are crossing the border, most of LA will soon speak Spanish. White Zimbabweans, Tamils and Turks are all on their way to the new world. So compared to your parents, chances are high someone you get a crush on at school, meet at a club, or get talking to by the photocopier will not be from your tribe. Some say love will conquer all. But John's mother said he should marry a Jew. So he intends to find out: should you stick with your tribe, or escape your tribe?
Episode 2 • Oct 27, 2009
Episode #1.2
People always mocked sallow Jewish John for trying to act black when growing up. But cross-cultural relationship experts say that you should walk in the shoes of other people to understand different cultures. John flies to Sun City, California to get some support from anti-racism campaigner Jane Elliott. His interview leads him to Black Like Me, a book from the 1950s by a man who disguised himself to see what it felt like being black. His interest piqued, John goes to Chicago.
Episode 3 • Nov 03, 2009
Episode #1.3
John's been reading books on Jewish marriage versus intermarriage. The Jews want him to get together with a Jew, saying that if he marries out, anti-Semitism will inevitably creep into his cross-cultural union. It's true some people are racist, but does that really mean John has to stop hitting on ethnics?
Episode 4 • Nov 10, 2009
Episode #1.4
In his reading, John comes across Henry Makow, a fat, old white guy who went to the Philippines to find a bride. Makow claims that Asian women stay attractive for longer than Western women. Fascinated by this premise, John figures out a way to test the claim. It involves exceedingly awkward confrontations with his ex-girlfriends and excruciatingly tender moments with their mothers.
Episode 5 • Nov 17, 2009
Episode #1.5
Bitterly, John recalls his adolescence, and a Jewish summer camp at which he was mortifyingly rebuffed by a love interest. Still not over it, dejected John seeks solace in Henry Makow's book on Asian love. Makow claims that Asian women judge a man by his heart, not by his looks. John is heartened by this tidbit. To check if it's true, he dons an Elephant Man costume and jets off to Thailand to see if his luck in love will improve outside of Jewtown 3183. A series of dates with unassuming Thai women restores John's confidence.
Episode 6 • Nov 24, 2009
Episode #1.6
John has forever wanted to go out with non-Jewish girls, but he always had a vibe that his mother wasn't into it. As John's mum unexpectedly died several years ago, it's impossible to know what she truly thought. Or is it?
Episode 7 • Dec 01, 2009
Episode #1.7
John has decided that Judaism is to blame for his failed interfaith relationships. He decides to explore another religion, and his research leads him to a branch of Christianity that really speaks to him â€" Christian Domestic Discipline. Accompanied by infuriating ex girlfriend Kristen, John zips off to Montgomery, United States where he is taught the art of Biblical spanking.
Episode 8 • Dec 08, 2009
Episode #1.8
Peeved by his unsuccessful attempts to solve the cross-cultural love riddle, John decides to expose ethnic identity as a ridiculous social construct. What if he marries a non-Jew, and just tells everyone she's Jewish? This will free him up to marry whoever he wants, and will stick it to tribalists, like his old friend George, who said he wouldn't come to John's wedding if he married a non-Jew. Resolute, John wants to seek out the ultimate non-Jew - a Muslim. And not just any Muslim, John has decided to source a relative of Osama Bin Laden.
