No to what i said about the using words different, or no to my Question? oh sorry I don't remember ever hearing "frugal Jew" as an insult. , but I sure have heard other stuff. like "a penny for a Jew" IMHO Adam didn't say anything insulting ,he was describing himself about not using a makeup person .. there were two other Jewish guys on the show and Adam probably felt comfortable talking as a member of the tribe.. just saying......Sometimes" a cigar is just a cigar" Back some years my boss was a young Jewish guy, we actually went out a lot with him and his wife, and I heard all kinds of "comments" from him, his friends, others. Only once did something offend him and he asked the man to leave the office. He and I used to pop off to lunch fairly often and when we ran into his friends he would call me his Shiksa. His theory, and mine, is consider the source and the intent. If it's not meant to be offensive, let it go. In this case, I think Adam was referring to not having 10 cars and a paid entourage. Lol

Maybe i am thinking to much about a word, or try to see something in it, that may not be meant or had no meaning for real.

No comments about him calling himself a "frugal jew"? Haaha, FRUGAL? FRUGAL? I could probably live for a month on the price of each item of clothing he's wearing! But yeah, he was just responding to the host so not to be taken as Adam's true assessment of himself Could be. But i think his clothes are part time clothes for the job for him, in other ways he is not spending too much. Adam has his style and Image to uphold. Why am i suddenly in this field and not below it when writing. I can't get out to write underneath

Have to admit, it sounded funny/odd to me when he said it -- I think a bit of Andy's Gay Jewish snark rubbed off on him. It is one of those thing that I guess is "OK" to say about yourself, but only about yourself. But, yeah, odd thing to say. *** I thought it was a fun show, Adam looked great -- and young. But Adam seemed relatively calm compared to everyone else on the show. We did get some different than normal questions, although not much/any new info. *** My favorite line, "It's not a jacket..." I always thought that jews and jewish heritage was not that surrounded by antisemitism as in Europe still. Here in Germany , no person of Jewish belief, would make snarky self ironic jewish comments. The pain of history is still to much for snark to be used in non jewish public. Sadly.... but no not today....about politics..... TODAY is about how funny Adam was, and HOW GORGEOUS To be honest, i had never heard that expression...i thought he said "frugal dude" and Andy misheard...

For the life of me, I do not understand why that song was not the big single push from that album. That opening alone is a hit worthy beast.
