JL;DR SUMMARY The episode delves into the experiences of two Canadian tourists who are caught in the midst of ongoing conflicts in Israel, having arrived for a canceled LGBTQ Pride parade. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
