The latest episode of the Israeli podcast "Only Fun" features lawyer, social activist, and hafla singer Barak Cohen. Ahead of the elections, Cohen joined hosts Leah and Adi to discuss how to be a "vulture" within legal boundaries and how to "shake the wall without it falling on you." The discussion touched on various political topics, including questioning why "Bibi" threatens Tel Aviv with an atomic bomb, proposing a crypto economy, and the persistent support base. The podcast also explored the idea that 61 mandates are not strictly necessary to form a government and Cohen's indecision between supporting Ra'am and Eisenkot.

Additionally, the episode addressed the voting intentions of celebrities like Sapir Avisror, Idan Amadi, and Odia Pinto, prompting a debate on whether the public truly wants celebrities to express political stances. The show also highlighted comedian Avi Shoshan's dark humor, Maya Wertheimer's reluctance to discuss politics due to anticipated negative reactions, and the unique name chosen by Maayan Adam for her firstborn son. The podcast is described as a satire, and its content should not be taken literally or with the intent to harm.
