Somali pirates take it over andthere's this amazing scene
where the guy who's the pirate?
He goes look at me, I'm thecaptain.
Now you know what I'm talkingabout.
I'm going to put it in.
I'm going to find that and I'mgoing to put it in.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Anyway Gesundheit.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Gesundheit?
No, because I wasn't here forone of the episodes and I got a
resounding.
I've never gotten so muchfeedback on an episode period,
let alone negative feedback.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Okay, so that we know is a thing If people like
something, if someone likes anexperience, they will share it
with three people.
If someone dislikes anexperience, they share it with
12 people.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
That's a known like this has been market research
with Modi Exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Oh, my God Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
So on this week's par show.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I would like to read.
We got a bunch of questions.
I posted on the podcast,instagram, and I said that you
know you can ask us anything andif the questions for you.
So I'm going to read you somequestions and you can say if
it's an interesting question orif you want to answer.
I would also like to shout outif you want advice for Modi or
(01:38):
Leo or me, write in relationshipadvice.
You don't want you giving.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I don't think people want me giving them advice Of
course they do, I don't know ifthat's true or not?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Every comedian I work with says please manage me.
So of course they want youradvice.
Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Okay, what is the one thing regular people just don't
get about?
Being a comic and doing standupcomedy.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Oh, this I'll give it to you.
They don't understand that whenwe're offstage, we're offstage.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
That's a good answer.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
A good comic when he's offstage is offstage.
If you have a comic who's on ata dinner table, I promise you
onstage he will not be funny.
I don't mean be boring or belame, but we're not on right and
they don't need to try to showus what they have.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
That's funny, right they also don't need to say tell
me a joke that's a.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I think that was read the question one more time,
which I want to.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I want to hear the question again what is the one
thing regular people just don'tget about?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
being a comic and doing stand-up comedy, so
something else I would say islike when, when we're in a
conversation with, with regularpeople, yeah normies
non-civilian civilian, and Ihear a laugh I always see where
that laugh comes from, and thenI'll refocus and go.
What did he say?
(03:08):
He said that the blah blah,blah, blah, the da, da, da, da.
I'm like, oh yeah, and I mightjust text that to myself.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So I will say I think knowing how to interface and
interact with artists not justcomedians, but like musicians or
dancers or anyone who's aperforming artist I think, um, I
think a key in in working withthem and understanding them and
just hanging out with them is,like they don't want to be that
(03:38):
a hundred percent of the time.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Right.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
And they don't want to talk about it a hundred
percent of the time.
And I think just if youapproach them differently and
disarm them, it disarms themreally, and then you get like to
see a whole nother side of them.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
And do you also think like do you have to like temper
yourself when you're aroundpeople who aren't comics Cause
we say some?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh yeah to you, brutal, brutal.
You should sit at the comedycellar when all the big
comedians are sitting togetherlike big names and they're just
like and you did this and you'reawful, and no one thinks you're
funny.
It's like rough.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, you have to.
You can't be like that withother.
Leo's totally made that he'snot a comic.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Don't speak to him, like you know like a dog.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
At the end of the day , I'm like pulling back.
No, uh, do we tempt?
Yeah, you, you don't speak topeople who aren't.
When doctors talk to each other, they have their own language
too, because they theyunderstand something, especially
specific doctors of a specificthing, right they?
Have their own lawyers whenthey get together and they you,
you know have that.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
But one thing actually it's funny that you
said that, because I find thatwhen I go to new doctors and I
tell them that I'm a comic andI'm a writer and I'm a this,
they're actually they have likeall of these questions.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Oh, everyone has a song in their heart Like,
they're like.
Like you go to your doctor,you're like, oh, I'm a comedian,
whatever.
And then they're like like yougo to your doctor, you're like,
oh, I'm a comedian, whatever.
And then they're like oh well,I have the five minute bit I've
been working on.
Can I like?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
and they always say to you here's something you
should never say to people don'tever start.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
You could use this for your act.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, right that, yes or when people begin a story,
you'll find this funny.
Yes, yes, when people begin astory, you'll find this funny.
Yes, yes, you'll find thisfunny.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
If you're saying you'll find this funny, there's
a good chance I'm not going to,or you, approach Modi in any
social situation.
You go, you must be getting alot of material, huh, yes.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Right, oh God, I'm in like a supermarket.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
It's so funny, there's no material you could
use this for your shtick youcould use this for your shtick.
That you can use this isamazing you can use this.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Wait.
I have a question that someoneemailed me directly and I
actually have some hot opinionsabout this.
What is?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
it.
I'm not going to read the nameno, no, no, hi.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I love Modi.
I saw you in Pennsylvania and Ibrought and you brought and you
brought Mashiach energy bigtime.
It was the first time welaughed since October 7th and it
felt like a giant release.
So much love.
Serious question, kind ofpersonal and sorry if this is an
overstep.
It's not meant to be.
We're off to a great start,love it.
(06:21):
Was it more of an issue for yourJewish parents that you married
a non-Jew or that you married aman?
My son is entering dating ageand we are having all kinds of
conversations.
He asked me what if I dated aman?
And I replied as long as he'sJewish?
My response comes from a painthree generations deep, a
grandchild of Holocaustsurvivors.
I'm wondering how you navigatethat and how did you navigate
(06:44):
that?
Thank you again.
Much love and no disrespect.
None disrespect taken.
However, I just want to say ifyou're already doing the mental
gymnastics to be like, okay, mykid is gay, at that point, if he
brings home a non-Jew, like,really, is that where you're
going to draw the line?
(07:04):
You should just want your kidto be happy and like also, if
they're gay, they're by defaulta sort of out of the box couple.
You can raise the kids howeveryou want.
You can find them a good Jewishschool.
First of all, we nevermentioned the idea that the
partner could convert.
If it's so important, theycould convert and they can keep
a kosher home where they couldfind a way and a groove that
(07:26):
works for them I would like toadd to this that because people.
I get offended.
Sometimes people say to me likeI've gotten comments like not
only is he gay, he's alsomarried to a non-jew, as if it's
like a layer, like a double,like it's like an insult.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
So I want to say that you two, like there are two
couples I'm very close to youtwo and another couple who Noam
and Juanita, and you and twopeople who aren't Jewish who
bring so much more.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
To the table.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Mashiach energy to the table than so many couples
where both of them are Jewish.
So my advice to these people isdon't presuppose that just
because somebody's not Jewishthat they're not going to.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I guess I have more.
I feel it a little bit more.
If you're concerned that yourstraight child is going to marry
outside of the religion becauseyou want them to have children
and you want those children tobe Jewish, I get that.
But if they're already a gaycouple and we're already on this
different path, if they decideto have kids, it's going to be
in an unorthodox way, no punintended, and you can choose
(08:39):
your own adventure from there.
And I think, yeah, there's somany people like me or Juanita
who are not Jewish but are verymuch for the Jews.
For the cause, for the cause andwho bring more to the table
than just being Jewish.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Juanita does Jewish holidays like to another level
than many Jews who I know Alsoit seems a little prejudiced to
me.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I'm just going to say say that I think they were
asking from a very nice placeyou can come from a nice place
and still be prejudiced and uh.
So just read me the first partof that question.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
First part was it more of an issue for your
parents that you married anon-jew or that you married a
man for my parents.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
So let's just take that when I got married I was 45
.
No, yeah, no, you know, I metyou when I was 45.
My parents with the age, at theage where they're they're more
concerned about themselves thanother people your parents are in
your business till a certaintime that then they're worried
about themselves more, and sothey were were just happy.
(09:43):
I found that they were happy.
I was happy.
They'd never seen me withanybody.
I never brought people home.
I was I.
Finally, I brought somebodyhome.
They saw a happiness in me andthey fell in love with him right
away, and so that was theparent situation.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
It says a lot about your parents.
It says a lot about my parents.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, they're like.
This is what it is.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
The second part of the question was the second part
of the question was that was it.
That was basically the question, so that's it Because her son
asked what if I bring home a man?
And she said as long as he'sJewish.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I always say, as soon as your kids tell you that
they're gay, they're bringinghome somebody who's not Jewish,
they're going to begin with.
What would make you happy?
Yes, and then take it fromthere.
Never make it about you.
I can't believe the Shonda.
I'm the family.
I can't believe you're going todo this.
What would make you happy?
Let them start talking and giveyour advice.
And it's funny I recently spoketo a Chabad rabbi in Florida
(10:43):
who I said to him your synagoguemust have many couples that are
interracial, that areinterfaith, Interfaith.
You know, some guy's Jewish.
There's a Chabad house down theblock.
He wants to go Saturday.
His wife isn't Jewish.
What's his guy?
He says to me I focus on whatpeople do, don't do.
He wants to come to synagogue.
I like that.
That's what he focuses on.
He wants challah delivered tohis house every Friday.
(11:06):
That's what I focus on.
He wants to light candles.
I focus on that.
I don't focus on what theydon't do, and that's how you
function.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's you know and again.
But do you see what I'm sayingabout?
Like raising Jewish children?
I understand if they were aheterosexual couple.
But if we're talking about agay couple and your question is
raising Jewish kids in a Jewishfamily, at that point can't you
just make up the rules as you goalong?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
If we've already done the work to get there, it's
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
You've already done the emotional work to be like,
okay, my son is gay.
And now?
Your hang-up is going to bethat he's bringing home a
non-Jew.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I mean, let's start with.
The first problem is that thatshouldn't be emotional work.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I disagree with you on that actually.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Again, ask the kid what would make you happy.
That's right.
And then tell them, even thoughyou are bringing home Christian
, I'd like you to still comehome for Passover and Rosh
Hashanah and come home for theholidays, and then it comes
together.
You know it'll come together.
The easiest way to answer thisis this what's the number one
(12:14):
goal?
Number one goal is Moshiach.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Is living in the.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Messianic era.
So when I do events for likeJewish education, say, the
number one goal is Jewisheducation.
All Jewish kids should have aJewish education.
It's not the goal, it's a partof the goal, it's something to
bring it Right.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
but then people say that what we're doing is a Chol
HaShem, because so actuallyMashiach won't come because
we're doing this.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
So that's the rebuttal.
They say but people can bewrong also right.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
And I can't believe you.
Let Leo say and you go.
You should have said what thehell is that?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Well, no, because I'm really and it's sad that I know
these words, people, becausepeople send me comments and
messages and I see it.
I see what you people say.
I know it's really not nice.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I mean, I think that the Hashem is people sending
messages like that, right.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, exactly what is worse Someone who's in a
consensual gay relationship oryou sending mean messages on the
internet?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Sending mean messages .
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I think sending me messages is more of a.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
It's disgusting.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
That's preventing Mashiach I want to go back to
what you said, because I don'tspeak to my parents because of
the whole gay thing, so I feellike I have some leeway here.
But you said it shouldn't beemotional work to get to the
point where you accept your kidto be gay.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Wait, wait, wait.
I just want to clarify that.
I think that that's emotionalwork.
That is the job of the parents.
When you decide to havechildren, you don't get to put
that on children.
That's not fair.
They didn't ask to be born Iagree.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
But I'm just saying I I totally understand when
someone maybe has a, an image ofwhat their child's life is
going to look like and then,when it diverts from that, how
it could be you don't get to dothat, leo.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
You don't get to do that.
That's not fair no, it's it's.
I think, like I want ari to bea roller skater, like I had a
dream that he would be a roller.
That's not fair.
No, it's it's.
I think, like I want Ari to bea roller skater, like I had a
dream that he would be a rollerskater.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
That's a little different.
I mean, I think, sometimes itcomes from a place of your child
.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Just not true.
Like we have ample evidence ofhundreds of thousands, if not
millions, of gay couples who areliving beautiful, fulfilling
incredible lives.
They're incredible parents.
I I mean you want to make thisargument like a hundred years
ago, like maybe I couldentertain it, but like it's just
(14:52):
bullshit, like you don't get tohave kids and then it's, it's a
horrible thing to do to a childwhat would make you happy.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
That's all.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
That's right, I agree , I think that your job as a
parent is what would make youhappy.
That's right, I agree.
I think that your job as aparent is what would make you
happy.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
It's still your values.
On the child it's still yourvalues, but that's what it is,
as one doesn't have children.
It's not.
I mean, I see it, but that'swhat it is, do you?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
think that makes us more palatable to people, the
fact that we have made thedecision not to have children,
like, okay, they're interfaithbut they're not having kids.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I think people are shocked that I don't have
children.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Like I think I do think it's like a little
insidious, but I think that likethat is kind of it makes it a
little bit more easier forpeople to swallow.
Who are these people, like thegeneral public who comes to your
shows?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
No Like religious people.
Nah.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I think if people are coming to your shows, they Just
want to laugh.
Yeah, they're okay, likethey're fine.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Just want to laugh.
They're not looking to fulfillanything, they want to laugh.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Wait, all right.
What other questions do we?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
have Next question.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
So wait, what's our answer for her?
To just ask what.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Ask your child what would make him happy and take it
from there, take theconversation from there.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
And I think that also , when you come to something
from a positive way, it's muchmore productive than to come to
something from a negative way.
When you make somebody feelwelcome in your home, if you
have somebody who's in your home, if you have somebody who's not
Jewish who comes to your houseand you make them feel welcome
and part of they're going to bemuch more amenable to being part
(16:34):
of something that's importantto you instead of making them
feel alienated.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Okay, next question.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Okay Modi.
Yes, how old were you when yourealized you were funny?
Who was that?
One person or people that wereyour first best audience?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
So this question is I knew I was entertaining.
Funny, I didn't know untilagain.
Donnie Moss, I always tell thestory.
My friend, when I was workingat Merrill Lynch and coming home
imitating the secretaries, andhe said you should be doing this
on stage.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
But it never occurred to you before that Like you
must've been doing these in,like your parents, like you made
them laugh.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah, entertaining, it's more entertaining.
I didn't think it was funny, itwas just more entertaining.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
When you were a kid in school, were you like the
class clown?
Were you making people laugh?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I wasn't the class clown?
I was the class.
What do you call it?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Personality hire.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Personality hire.
Yeah, Modi was a personalityhire.
A personality hire.
I knew how to get along and notupset people and be helpful,
especially in school when mygrades are struggling and I'm
dyslexia and ADHD and all thatstuff and there wasn't diagnosis
.
I was surviving.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
But you had the street smarts to be a good
teacher's pet, kind of yes, andso maybe you didn't do well on
the test and everything.
But you went to after hours andyou went and got help and you
were nice to them and you werepolite.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
But funny and stand-up comedy.
I never thought about that.
I never been to a comedy clubuntil the first time I was there
.
My friend Donnie Moss says dothis on stage.
And that's the first time.
That's when it clicked.
That's when it clicked.
Yeah, Good question, Nest.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
What goes into making a comedy show.
That is to say, on what do youbase your material?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
A lot of emails.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
People watching, politics, societal norms et
cetera.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
All of those things you don't really get into
politics, though that much Idon't, Although I'm dying to.
I think there's such good stuffcoming out now Is this
administration going to bringout some partisan stuff coming
out is this administration gonnabring out.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
This is gonna bring it out really, really.
I think tonight I'm gonna evenhit them with it a little bit do
you have stuff that like, ortopics or subjects that you
really like to talk about, likethat's particularly fun for you
to make jokes about, or iseverything kind of like fair
game it's a laugh.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
It's whatever it gets for me.
I don't know.
Topics pop up to me.
They add on I work it out withleo, I get a little buzz on and
I get on the treadmill and thinkit through and by thinking
through, he's screaming on thetreadmill.
No that was singing, that wasno, you're but that's, that's
how I you talk it out I talk it.
That's how I you talk it out.
(19:24):
I talk it out, dude, I do, I dotalk it out to myself a lot.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Yeah, you talk to yourself a lot yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah, modi doesn't write in like a traditional
sense, where you think like acomedian sits down and was like
okay, I'm going to write for anhour.
That doesn't happen.
Modi is just constantlyrehearsing in his's how he's so
(19:49):
good nest.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
How much can we just nest and following when, when
you, when you are at a retailstore and like you're waiting to
pay, they're like nest, nest orthey go following, like it's
it's the following guestfollowing guest.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
They just go following nest, okay, okay
you're gonna like to answer this, so I'm gonna read this.
This is I'm giving you one.
How do we keep Mashiach energygoing in such troublesome times?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
find a comedy show invite a few friends to go to it
with you.
Mashiach energy going in suchtroublesome times.
Find a comedy show and invite afew friends to go to it with
you.
Send a friend a clip, make aphone call.
It's so easy to just find alittle bit help, just help
somebody.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Help.
You always say you can doanything for smiling at somebody
.
Smile at somebody your shirt'sso nice.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I love what you did with your hair.
You look great.
That creates Moshiach energy.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Send a meal to a Holocaust survivor, help
somebody across the street, likeyou always say, like you can do
anything.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Anything that creates a little bit of Moshiach energy
, that's it.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Don't be a bitch to people.
Don't be a bitch.
Still working on that.
So that was it.
That's the whole question.
So good, that was the question.
That was one of them.
Is there any chance of having awhole show in Hebrew?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I've done that twice.
You have.
Yeah, it was very, very hard.
I imagine it's hard.
It was very, very, very hard.
One time I did it I remember itwas at the JCC of New Jersey.
At the JCC of New Jersey, thegood thing was, the entire
audience were all people whowere Americans, americans that
(21:31):
Israelis that moved to America.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Right, right right.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
So it was all performed for, like your mom and
dad, right right, right, rightright they all know.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
An hour you did in Hebrew.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I did it like probably an hour.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I'm doing a show in February.
That's in all Hebrew.
But it's only, like you know,15 minutes and I'm already like
how am I going to do this?
It's hard.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
It's very just.
Everybody listening is going tobe American-Israeli, right, so
just talk about your parents.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Is there a chance of having a whole show in Hebrew?
Is the question.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I feel like, don't rule it out, I'm not ruling it
out.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Anything is possible.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Someone wrote big fan .
I have been to several of yourshows asking for a friend.
Will your upcoming shows haveall new material?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yes, yes, the shows that are on now is all new
material and it's nothing.
The shows that are on now isall new material and it's
nothing to do with the pastspecial or anything that we put
up on Instagram.
Pause for Laughter is a brandnew hour and 10 minutes.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
But you can also tell , because it's a different title
of the tour.
No, people didn't know that.
People don't understand.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I give it to them.
They don't understand what'shappened, like the timeline of
the material and all that stuffauthor said to me he didn't
understand that at all.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Okay, he goes.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yeah, he didn't understand that, um so do people
think you're just going andkeeping on doing the same jokes
over and over and over?
I think so.
I think people I I have beenstruggling with this recently
that I think, in terms of justlike the brand and trying to
figure out what to post and likeall that stuff, I think that
people think that you just go onstage and do like Ashkenazi,
(23:05):
sephardic stuff all day long.
God forbid, and I'm like tryingto tell you no, that was a bit
that you probably saw one time.
Um, but that's not.
First of all, it's not in theact at all anymore.
No, but it's crazy, like whatpeople's perceptions are yeah,
and the new show is amazing andit's.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
But but like, like um , know your audience and pause
for laughter.
Two different shows.
People don't understand that,like, author didn't get that.
It's like wow, but it's, um,it's, it's.
But they should watch the oldstuff, sure.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I'm saying that.
That's how you can tell ingeneral, usually when a comic is
doing all new material.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
People aren't perceptive.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
People don't know that they're also not in the
comedy world.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I'm trying to help them.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Right, right, right.
So just so tell them that every, every show, every tour has its
own name.
It's all new material.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
That's what I'm saying is that if it has a
different name, it's a differenttour, it's different jokes.
People came up to me with abeacon.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
It is hard because people like, when you go see a
musician or a band or a singer,you kind of want them to do
songs that you know and I dothink there's a little bit of
that at play with live comedyAgreed.
You kind of are like, oh, Ihope he does this bit, but you
don't want him to do all thesame thing Exactly.
Most people don't go to a lotof comedy shows.
(24:28):
I think that's a fact.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
And so I feel like it's from like a consumer
standpoint, I kind of get likethe confusion.
Okay, it's from like a consumerstandpoint, I I kind of get
like the confusion okay.
Well, we're clearing like theone percent of people who have
sat through comedy and seen livecomedy, like we're at the
outlier of the outliers.
We're definitely not like sofor someone who goes once or
twice a year and they buytickets to something, yeah, they
(24:51):
want to know that they'reseeing something different
except they also want to seesome of the same.
Right, it's a hard thing tojuggle and when I speak to
people for private events not somuch now but before they would
always ask is it going to be new?
Is it going to be what we saw?
And I would be like you knowthat's a sticky question to ask
because if he goes up there andhe does none of the bits that
(25:12):
you recognize, he's going to getoff stage and you're going to
say I none of the bits that yourecognize.
He's going to get off stage andyou're going to say I wish you
would have done the Hetzel a bit.
But if he goes up there anddoes all old stuff, you're going
to be like we've seen all ofthat before.
And that's where the art ofbeing, like I said, being a
comedian and, being aprofessional, he has to read the
room.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Has to read the room.
Speaking of reading the room,how much effort does it take to
walk the line between what youknow is funny and relatable and
what might be uncomfortabletopics, a couple of topics.
Yeah, I mean, I feel likethat's not so much your.
You don't really do other.
I mean people do, though right,like you, you don't know if
you're stepping over the lineuntil you step over it, though,
right, that's why cancel culturehas was such a problem for
(26:01):
comics um is cancel culture.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Still such a.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Thing I think it's less post I think it's helped
comics.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
It's helped comics more than it's hurt comics I
think there was like a year anda half where people were scared
and then it quickly was likethere were comics who said that
they stopped going to perform in, like certain states and
colleges, because you couldn'tsay anything.
I think it's changed.
I think we haven't evenprocessed how quickly.
(26:31):
I wouldn't say a backlash, butlike definitely a backpedaling
of a lot of those like you knowyou have to be politically
correct all the time.
Like how fast that changedovernight.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
I mean okay, Next.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Let me see if I'm missing anything.
I think those were the bestones.
I think those were easy.
Those were easy were the bestones, I think.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Those were easy.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Those were easy.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Very, very, very easy .
Speaker 3 (27:00):
You want harder ones.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Yes, send in harder questions.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
But those were very easy and thank you for sending
them in.
Next topic what do you have onthere?
Speaker 3 (27:17):
I sent you guys a joke.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
A Holocaust joke?
Yes, that Ricky Gervais toldJerry Seinfeld and Ricky Gervais
said that.
Or the person who posted saidthis is the most philosophical
joke in the world.
Will you do the honors ofretelling the joke?
No, I think we should play it.
(27:41):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Edit it in here, and then we can just discuss it
afterwards.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Can I try to say it?
Sure, go ahead.
A Holocaust survivor dies andgoes to heaven.
He meets God and tells him aHolocaust joke.
God doesn't laugh.
The Holocaust survivor says Iguess you had to be there.
Did I do a good job?
Great job, great job, youkilled it.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
For something I heard once a few hours ago.
You did very well today, Leo, Ihave to say.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
So I guess what's the thing that was God at the
Holocaust.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
So obviously there's a whole thing about like it's
basically him saying God wasn'tthere.
It's an amazing joke becauseit's going to spark
conversations.
As long as people are talkingabout the Holocaust, it's good.
As long as people are talkingabout it, whatever it is is
great.
It's an amazing joke becauseit's you know, it's saying God
(28:35):
wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
What is the like what ?
What is there?
How was god there?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
how?
We don't.
We don't know, we don't knowhow, we don't know what trip,
what.
What made the holocaust happen?
We know that.
And again, god is not a personsaying, okay now, holocaust,
it's's an energy, it's oneness.
Oneness was off, the world wasoff and that happened, and that
something happened to cause that.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
But where?
So, okay, but just for a littlebit of context, I posted this
joke and somebody wrote and saidcan you please share this on
the podcast and have Modi talkabout it?
Right, and I think the questionis is how could God have been
there Like and that and let thathappen, let's discuss the joke,
(29:25):
not the concept.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
So I don't know how God was there.
There were miracles thathappened in the camps.
Okay, people that did survive.
I just sat through a shiva of aHolocaust survivor and there
were people talking about themiracles that happened in the
camps.
Okay, people that did survive.
I just sat through a shiver ofa Holocaust survivor and there
were people talking about themiracles that happened in the
camps.
Why they were camps is adifferent story.
Okay, okay, and it's not like,but the joke, the joke Good,
good.
Back to the joke.
(29:48):
The joke is would spark aconversation.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Right.
So Seinfeld said it's a novelin a joke.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
It's a novel in a joke.
You could write a whole bookabout this.
Was God there?
He wasn't there.
What is God?
Who is God?
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Is there a God?
It's all of that.
I have heard like religiouspeople who like debate these
things, who like do believe inGod, who are like you know the
argument of like oh, look at allthese bad things that happened.
How could you say there's a God?
That's actually like a horribleargument because free will and
we make our own problems andstuff.
But six million, that's a lotof people.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
It's a lot of people, so whatever happened that made
that happen was it's notsomething I talk?
Speaker 3 (30:32):
about, but it's the joke.
You're saying the joke.
Back to the joke, back to thejoke.
It's not something I talk about, but it's the joke.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
You're saying the joke.
Back to the joke, back to thejoke.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
It's a great joke Because it says so much in so
little, right.
Like the comment, like it's solayered, right.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
A.
The Holocaust survivor has asense of humor.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
That was actually my big takeaway from it.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
He has a sense of humor, you know, and then and
then it's.
It's funny because even laterthe video's even later, because
Ricky Gervais doesn't believe inGod, right, I don't know about
Seinfeld, but I know RickyGervais yeah, that's right is a
atheist, talks about it.
He's an atheist, does notbelieve in God.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah, it's like part of his whole brand, part of his
whole brand.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
yeah, but it's a great joke that brings up all
kinds of.
It's a great joke.
It's a great joke.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
It reminds me Gilbert Gottfried used to tell this
joke.
It's different.
I'm sure you know this thatthis mother was at the beach
with her baby and the baby gottaken to shore.
And the mother just startsscreaming and praying please God
, please God, I'll do anythinggot taken to shore and the
mother just starts screaming andpraying please god, please god,
I'll do anything.
Just please give me my babyback.
And suddenly the baby comesback on the land and she picks
(31:43):
it up and she says he waswearing a hat, waveboard him,
took him on, waveboard him back.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Yeah, that's, uh, it's a great joke I know why?
Why do you see those two jokesas the same?
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Because I think that in that joke there's also a
novel, like I think that in thatjoke it's so layered of.
So much happens in that joke.
It says so much about ourculture and hope and laws and
just asking God for stuff yeah,and just asking God for stuff
(32:15):
yeah, and just asking.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah, well, on the asking God for stuff joke,
that's not even the one youwould go to.
You would go to the one aboutthe rabbi whose synagogue is
failing and he needs money andhe says praise to God, please,
let me win the lottery, please.
If I win the lottery, I'll beable to pay off the synagogue
mortgage.
I'll be able to make lunch, thelottery I'll be able to pay off
the synagogue mortgage.
I'll be able to make lunch forpeople.
(32:38):
I'll be able to help the poor.
If I just let me win thelottery.
And the week goes by, hedoesn't win the lottery, and
again and again and it justdoesn't work and he's screaming
to God, please, not for me.
And God finally goes do me.
That could be layer two.
You need a vessel.
(32:58):
A vessel needs to be built.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah .
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, those are like the God
jokes, yes.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
They're fun.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
They're fun and they do spark a conversation.
And again, anytime you talkabout the Holocaust, I'm okay,
talk about it, start theconversation.
Yeah, very important, yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
That was like when I got dressed up as a hot dog for
Halloween.
And I had a little sign on methat said my name is and I wrote
Anne.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
And Frank oh, I get that.
Wow, I think that's a littledifferent.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Perry, that's funny.
And this, I think that's alittle different, perrie, that's
funny.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Speaking of it's not, because this woman started
yelling at me on Broadway and78th Street and she said are you
making fun of the Holocaust?
My grandparents were Holocaustsurvivors.
And I said, first of all, sowere mine, and no, like God
forbid, I would never make funof the Holocaust.
(33:57):
And I said exactly what youjust said, which is that I'm
sparking a conversation aboutthe Holocaust and, by the way,
it's a brilliant idea.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
It was brilliant.
And speaking of hot dogs, yes,we want it.
Yes, a great way.
A&h Provisions Best Glot kosherfoods and, of course, best hot
dogs in the world Even the guyin the center.

Thank you, arthur and everybodyfrom Weitz and Luxembourg, and
WeitzLuxcom.
Done, all right, okay, okayNext.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Okay, now I thought we could do a little segment
called story time with modi.
Oh, okay okay, um, and I wastrying to think of what stories
would be appropriate and fun totell, and I looked at leo for
some guidelines and he just toldme to keep it PG-13.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Okay, so the first story I thought could be
appropriate, given what's goingon in the world, is the story
about when you met Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Oh, when I first met Donald Trump, I met Donald Trump
the Saturday after 9-11.
We had these shows in.
I had my first Atlantic Cityshow.
It was a part of like a wholetour with Stuttering John and
guys from the Howard Stern showand Jim.
I don't remember who was on,but I think it was a bunch of
(35:53):
guys from the Howard Stern crew.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
And you couldn't get out of the city because all the
planes were grounded right.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
We were going to drive anyway, but Donald Trump
drove down.
He said he hasn't driven toAtlantic City in years and he
came to the show Back then.
He was a big fan of Stern, andthen we had lunch with him the
next day and was sitting there.
So I don't know exactly if hewas married to Melania or not or
whatever the what was, butshe's sitting across from me and
(36:24):
I keep saying, hey, you lookvery familiar, you look very
familiar.
There were like banners of herface throughout the entire hotel
and on the back of the key.
You know, the key that you getin and out of your room was was
her face.
Really, I swear to you and, andlike everything I keep asking,
you look very familiar.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
John would like be kicking me under the table and
uh, but that's like the episodeof the crown where the queen
mother goes to that castle andhe's like you look very familiar
, it'll come to me.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
She's like I'm the queen bitch but, but we, he came
backstage and the whole show isa fundraiser and I have a
picture of me and him and we'reholding a um, one of those water
, water, uh, you know thosewater dispensers where you pick
up the big uh, yeah the, the bigjug of water.
You flip it over and we werefilling that with money.
(37:16):
There's a picture of me and himholding it together.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Oh my, Speaking of Melania and Trump.
The Jimmy Carter funeral.
Did you see that footage of allthe ex-presidents sitting
together.
Yes, I just want to say, assomeone who can hold a grudge,
surprising to no one the factthat Kamala can walk into that
room and just not lose her shit.
(37:41):
It's so crazy to me, I do.
You see, you saw karen pence,though would not shake trump's
hand or say hi to him, or shejust completely ignored him can
you blame her?
Yeah, they were almost lynchedbecause of that man.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
I mean, and he just like walks in and like nothing.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Meanwhile he was talking to Obama like they were
pals.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
And George Bush gave him a how you doing.
Like a little flick it allshows you that it's a big game.
Yes, it's a big.
It's a big.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
I don't think it's a big game.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
It's a big game.
It's a big game.
It's a big game.
It's a big game.
These people are travelingtogether.
They're going to each other'sweddings.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Who's these people?
Speaker 3 (38:21):
All of these ex-presidents and people.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
I agree with you, but I don't think.
I think Trump is an outlierthere.
I don't think.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Well apparently not.
It was like they were alltogether.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Well, that's because it's a state event.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
It's a state event, it's a state funeral.
They all have to sit together.
It could have been much moresomber, like.
It was very um.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
They were very familiar with each other that
was not the first time that theywere chatting.
Well, michelle obama didn't go,she like refused to go.
I want to tell you that, whichI wouldn't go either we know you
wouldn't go I'm in shock thatdonald trump didn't bring't
bring Elon Musk instead ofMelania.
As his plus one.
As his plus one.
Could you imagine Elon Muskjust jumping down the aisle?
Speaker 1 (39:05):
With his Asbury jump and it would have been amazing.
And it would have been I thinkTrump knows it's all anybody
would have talked about and likehe didn't want to really steal
everything from Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
Oh yeah, I'm sure he's that considerate of other
people.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
I was on the plane when this happened because you
know I don't watch the news but,like, jimmy Carter's drive
through Washington began at thesame time that Donald Trump went
and spoke at Mar-a-Lago he hada conference at the same time
went and spoke at Mar-a-Lago hehad a conference at the same
time.
So I was watching like that onthe TV that had live, you know,
on the back of the Delta chair,and it was just so crazy.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Meanwhile didn't like Jimmy Carter have to like give
up his peanut farm so that hecould take office.
Meanwhile, like Trump, is likeslinging stakes in university
courses and bankruptcies andhush money and et cetera, et
cetera, et cetera.
Yes, yes, crazy.
So Jimmy Carter would haveloved that he was at his funeral
.
This guy who has a plane withhis name on it, he who had to
(40:09):
give up his peanut farm.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Yeah, as someone who lived through the Jimmy Carter
thing, so I will tell you what'sreally funny.
So when you hear Jimmy Carter,it doesn't really mean anything
to you.
It's like me hearing.
I was raised in my personalparticular household that he was
very bad, okay, so I livedthrough the Jimmy Carter
administration and what was yourtakeaway when I hear Jimmy
(40:30):
Carter, what do you hear?
So right away in my head there'sthe blink of the Sadat and
Menachem baking, shaking hands,that, that, that, and then right
away, the next beep is hostages.
When Jimmy Carter was in officeback then there wasn't
(40:51):
Instagram.
It was every night you sat atthe TV and watched the news.
It was every night you sat atthe TV and watched the news.
And it began with today is the320th day that the hostages are
held in Iran and he never gotthem out and he had a failed
attempt to get them out.
And when I hear Jimmy Carter,it's synonymous with the words
(41:12):
hostages and it's so crazy likehis death.
And now the hostages and, godwilling, by the time this thing
airs, they'll all be freed umand uh and and so to jimmy
carter, to me is is hostages, islike I remember that it was
such a how many people were iniran.
(41:33):
It was a lot.
They had a lot of hostagesthere and they were super
innocent students and they weremasked the whole time and it was
so horrible.
It was such a horrible thing tolive through.
Speaker 3 (41:46):
Today we're like almost numb that there's
hostages 53 United Statesdiplomats and citizens were held
hostage from Novembermber 4th1979 to january 20th 1981 in
iran, jesus that's how manyyears?
Speaker 1 (42:05):
over a year, a year and change.
So yeah, two years um what?
Speaker 3 (42:13):
why was jimmy carter um very bad in your house?
Speaker 1 (42:16):
In your house.
Well, you're from Georgia, sothat didn't no, no, but this was
.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
No, this was not from Georgia people.
This was from when I lived inFlorida.
I don't know why I don't know,he was Democrat.
Yeah, that's why Maybe that'swhy, yeah, the baby killer.
Next question.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Yeah, perrion, yeah period he was yeah, my parents
were what?
We call single issue voters andthen Reagan came with all that
charm and no second term forJimmy Carter, all that charm,
and killed it.
He I mean we're like yes he wasa personality hire right.
Jimmy Carter.
(42:53):
When he spoke he spoke softly,he spoke very nice and then he
spoke very nicely.
And then Reagan coming withzingers and jokes and he looked
like you know Reagan was anactor.
It was easy to look at, it wasfun.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
Reagan, though he really dropped the ball, oh he
dropped the ball.
Speaker 1 (43:11):
So when I think of Reagan.
I think of AIDS yeah of course,yeah, it's the first thing, I
think of Reagan, I think of AIDS, yeah, of course, yeah, it's
the first thing I think of.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
I mean, hundreds of thousands of people died on his
watch.
Okay, that time I performed inRotterdam.
Can you finish this sentence?
Speaker 2 (43:32):
Oh, is that when you got really sick?
No, don't say that.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
Why this is such a funny story.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
No, but I will tell you.
I remember performing inRotterdam and they had Rotterdam
.
Those of you who don't knowit's like the background of the
stage.
You know, instead of a brickwall they had the skyline of
Rotterdam.
Rotterdam has a skyline.
There are big buildings inRotterdam because they had to
(44:01):
rebuild Rotterdam after WorldWar II, because they were going
to fight the Nazis in Rotterdamand the Nazis destroyed them.
So my opening line was it'sgreat being here in Rotterdam
with the skyline of Rotterdambrought to you by the luftwaffe,
the german, the german airforce, and that got a huge, huge
(44:23):
bit like laugh.
And but the other story isabout it's not a good food
poisoning.
Next question it's not, it's notcute.
Speaker 3 (44:35):
I like this story of how you got the part in the
Sopranos.
I feel like this is notprominently featured on this
podcast ever.
Speaker 2 (44:45):
I want to make a public admission here.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
Don't you dare.
I've never seen the Sopranos.
Oh my God, that is a crimeagainst humanity.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
I know, I know.
I know and you will love itwill I because I've seen clips
and like I get the referencesand I understand the characters,
but I've never like watched doyou like?
Speaker 3 (45:08):
like movies like goodfellas and that like, do you
?
Speaker 2 (45:11):
you're like, do you have taste?
Do you like goodfellas?
Speaker 3 (45:14):
do you like the best movie that's ever mafia movies
he's not, I will tell you thatmuch.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
He's not big on mafia movies.
He's not.
I will tell you that much he'snot a big.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
I don't like watching people get whacked no you have
to watch, I know, but there's somany episodes and like I never
saw it, like while it was on,because I wasn't allowed to
watch television, and so likethen I was too late well, you
were probably too little when itwas on to watch it.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (45:37):
Like that was not appropriate.
I'm just telling you like thisshow is.
Speaker 2 (45:44):
Iconic, it's like.
It's like one of the best showsthat's ever been on television,
I know, not to mention thatyour husband is on the show.
Yeah, would you like to tell usabout your episode?
Speaker 1 (45:56):
How did I get the audition?
Speaker 3 (45:58):
I got the audition.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
It asked for jewelry jewelry salesperson and I didn't
know that it was in a mall inNew Jersey and so I thought it
was jewelry would be in 47thStreet and it says Jewish.
Speaker 3 (46:19):
I don't know if it's an israeli no, no, it didn't say
israeli, it said jewish.
It's a jewish jewelry salesman,was the description right you
were selling tony I know what Idid.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
I was selling tony and I had a whole like three
pages of dialogue and then theycut it down to three lines.
I always say I'm the only onethat got whacked in the editing
room.
That's funny, but yeah, but Iwalked in and you know
everybody's there and these areall for smaller parts, so
they're just they're not lookingto like if this is going to
(46:54):
happen, it's going to happen.
I walked in and I, right beforeI, found out it's not on 47th
street and somewhere in whatever.
So it wasn't a religious personselling jewelry, it's a diamond
dealer.
So it said that there was adiamond dealer.
When I got the the the sidesfor it and I walked in and, with
an israeli accent, I spoke tothem.
(47:15):
I go what kind of a diamond areyou looking for?
Is it religious?
Is it not religious?
Is it what kind of?
And by the time I, by the timeI left the building, they
already called and I had therole because they wanted
something authentic.
Yeah, they thought I was.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Anyway Gesundheit.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Gesundheit?
No, because I wasn't here forone of the episodes and I got a
resounding.
I've never gotten so muchfeedback on an episode period,
let alone negative feedback.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Okay, so that we know is a thing If people like
something, if someone likes anexperience, they will share it
with three people.
If someone dislikes anexperience, they share it with
12 people.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
That's a known like this has been market research
with Modi Exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Oh, my God Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
So on this week's par show.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I would like to read.
We got a bunch of questions.
I posted on the podcast,instagram, and I said that you
know you can ask us anything andif the questions for you.
So I'm going to read you somequestions and you can say if
it's an interesting question orif you want to answer.
I would also like to shout outif you want advice for Modi or
(01:38):
Leo or me, write in relationshipadvice.
You don't want you giving.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I don't think people want me giving them advice Of
course they do, I don't know ifthat's true or not?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Every comedian I work with says please manage me.
So of course they want youradvice.
Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Okay, what is the one thing regular people just don't
get about?
Being a comic and doing standupcomedy.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Oh, this I'll give it to you.
They don't understand that whenwe're offstage, we're offstage.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
That's a good answer.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
A good comic when he's offstage is offstage.
If you have a comic who's on ata dinner table, I promise you
onstage he will not be funny.
I don't mean be boring or belame, but we're not on right and
they don't need to try to showus what they have.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
That's funny, right they also don't need to say tell
me a joke that's a.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I think that was read the question one more time,
which I want to.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I want to hear the question again what is the one
thing regular people just don'tget about?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
being a comic and doing stand-up comedy, so
something else I would say islike when, when we're in a
conversation with, with regularpeople, yeah normies
non-civilian civilian, and Ihear a laugh I always see where
that laugh comes from, and thenI'll refocus and go.
What did he say?
(03:08):
He said that the blah blah,blah, blah, the da, da, da, da.
I'm like, oh yeah, and I mightjust text that to myself.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So I will say I think knowing how to interface and
interact with artists not justcomedians, but like musicians or
dancers or anyone who's aperforming artist I think, um, I
think a key in in working withthem and understanding them and
just hanging out with them is,like they don't want to be that
(03:38):
a hundred percent of the time.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Right.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
And they don't want to talk about it a hundred
percent of the time.
And I think just if youapproach them differently and
disarm them, it disarms themreally, and then you get like to
see a whole nother side of them.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
And do you also think like do you have to like temper
yourself when you're aroundpeople who aren't comics Cause
we say some?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh yeah to you, brutal, brutal.
You should sit at the comedycellar when all the big
comedians are sitting togetherlike big names and they're just
like and you did this and you'reawful, and no one thinks you're
funny.
It's like rough.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, you have to.
You can't be like that withother.
Leo's totally made that he'snot a comic.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Don't speak to him, like you know like a dog.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
At the end of the day , I'm like pulling back.
No, uh, do we tempt?
Yeah, you, you don't speak topeople who aren't.
When doctors talk to each other, they have their own language
too, because they theyunderstand something, especially
specific doctors of a specificthing, right they?
Have their own lawyers whenthey get together and they you,
you know have that.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
But one thing actually it's funny that you
said that, because I find thatwhen I go to new doctors and I
tell them that I'm a comic andI'm a writer and I'm a this,
they're actually they have likeall of these questions.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Oh, everyone has a song in their heart Like,
they're like.
Like you go to your doctor,you're like, oh, I'm a comedian,
whatever.
And then they're like like yougo to your doctor, you're like,
oh, I'm a comedian, whatever.
And then they're like oh well,I have the five minute bit I've
been working on.
Can I like?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
and they always say to you here's something you
should never say to people don'tever start.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
You could use this for your act.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, right that, yes or when people begin a story,
you'll find this funny.
Yes, yes, when people begin astory, you'll find this funny.
Yes, yes, you'll find thisfunny.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
If you're saying you'll find this funny, there's
a good chance I'm not going to,or you, approach Modi in any
social situation.
You go, you must be getting alot of material, huh, yes.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Right, oh God, I'm in like a supermarket.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
It's so funny, there's no material you could
use this for your shtick youcould use this for your shtick.
That you can use this isamazing you can use this.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Wait.
I have a question that someoneemailed me directly and I
actually have some hot opinionsabout this.
What is?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
it.
I'm not going to read the nameno, no, no, hi.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I love Modi.
I saw you in Pennsylvania and Ibrought and you brought and you
brought Mashiach energy bigtime.
It was the first time welaughed since October 7th and it
felt like a giant release.
So much love.
Serious question, kind ofpersonal and sorry if this is an
overstep.
It's not meant to be.
We're off to a great start,love it.
(06:21):
Was it more of an issue for yourJewish parents that you married
a non-Jew or that you married aman?
My son is entering dating ageand we are having all kinds of
conversations.
He asked me what if I dated aman?
And I replied as long as he'sJewish?
My response comes from a painthree generations deep, a
grandchild of Holocaustsurvivors.
I'm wondering how you navigatethat and how did you navigate
(06:44):
that?
Thank you again.
Much love and no disrespect.
None disrespect taken.
However, I just want to say ifyou're already doing the mental
gymnastics to be like, okay, mykid is gay, at that point, if he
brings home a non-Jew, like,really, is that where you're
going to draw the line?
(07:04):
You should just want your kidto be happy and like also, if
they're gay, they're by defaulta sort of out of the box couple.
You can raise the kids howeveryou want.
You can find them a good Jewishschool.
First of all, we nevermentioned the idea that the
partner could convert.
If it's so important, theycould convert and they can keep
a kosher home where they couldfind a way and a groove that
(07:26):
works for them I would like toadd to this that because people.
I get offended.
Sometimes people say to me likeI've gotten comments like not
only is he gay, he's alsomarried to a non-jew, as if it's
like a layer, like a double,like it's like an insult.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
So I want to say that you two, like there are two
couples I'm very close to youtwo and another couple who Noam
and Juanita, and you and twopeople who aren't Jewish who
bring so much more.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
To the table.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Mashiach energy to the table than so many couples
where both of them are Jewish.
So my advice to these people isdon't presuppose that just
because somebody's not Jewishthat they're not going to.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I guess I have more.
I feel it a little bit more.
If you're concerned that yourstraight child is going to marry
outside of the religion becauseyou want them to have children
and you want those children tobe Jewish, I get that.
But if they're already a gaycouple and we're already on this
different path, if they decideto have kids, it's going to be
in an unorthodox way, no punintended, and you can choose
(08:39):
your own adventure from there.
And I think, yeah, there's somany people like me or Juanita
who are not Jewish but are verymuch for the Jews.
For the cause, for the cause andwho bring more to the table
than just being Jewish.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Juanita does Jewish holidays like to another level
than many Jews who I know Alsoit seems a little prejudiced to
me.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I'm just going to say say that I think they were
asking from a very nice placeyou can come from a nice place
and still be prejudiced and uh.
So just read me the first partof that question.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
First part was it more of an issue for your
parents that you married anon-jew or that you married a
man for my parents.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
So let's just take that when I got married I was 45
.
No, yeah, no, you know, I metyou when I was 45.
My parents with the age, at theage where they're they're more
concerned about themselves thanother people your parents are in
your business till a certaintime that then they're worried
about themselves more, and sothey were were just happy.
(09:43):
I found that they were happy.
I was happy.
They'd never seen me withanybody.
I never brought people home.
I was I.
Finally, I brought somebodyhome.
They saw a happiness in me andthey fell in love with him right
away, and so that was theparent situation.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
It says a lot about your parents.
It says a lot about my parents.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, they're like.
This is what it is.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
The second part of the question was the second part
of the question was that was it.
That was basically the question, so that's it Because her son
asked what if I bring home a man?
And she said as long as he'sJewish.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I always say, as soon as your kids tell you that
they're gay, they're bringinghome somebody who's not Jewish,
they're going to begin with.
What would make you happy?
Yes, and then take it fromthere.
Never make it about you.
I can't believe the Shonda.
I'm the family.
I can't believe you're going todo this.
What would make you happy?
Let them start talking and giveyour advice.
And it's funny I recently spoketo a Chabad rabbi in Florida
(10:43):
who I said to him your synagoguemust have many couples that are
interracial, that areinterfaith, Interfaith.
You know, some guy's Jewish.
There's a Chabad house down theblock.
He wants to go Saturday.
His wife isn't Jewish.
What's his guy?
He says to me I focus on whatpeople do, don't do.
He wants to come to synagogue.
I like that.
That's what he focuses on.
He wants challah delivered tohis house every Friday.
(11:06):
That's what I focus on.
He wants to light candles.
I focus on that.
I don't focus on what theydon't do, and that's how you
function.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's you know and again.
But do you see what I'm sayingabout?
Like raising Jewish children?
I understand if they were aheterosexual couple.
But if we're talking about agay couple and your question is
raising Jewish kids in a Jewishfamily, at that point can't you
just make up the rules as you goalong?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
If we've already done the work to get there, it's
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
You've already done the emotional work to be like,
okay, my son is gay.
And now?
Your hang-up is going to bethat he's bringing home a
non-Jew.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I mean, let's start with.
The first problem is that thatshouldn't be emotional work.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I disagree with you on that actually.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Again, ask the kid what would make you happy.
That's right.
And then tell them, even thoughyou are bringing home Christian
, I'd like you to still comehome for Passover and Rosh
Hashanah and come home for theholidays, and then it comes
together.
You know it'll come together.
The easiest way to answer thisis this what's the number one
(12:14):
goal?
Number one goal is Moshiach.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Is living in the.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Messianic era.
So when I do events for likeJewish education, say, the
number one goal is Jewisheducation.
All Jewish kids should have aJewish education.
It's not the goal, it's a partof the goal, it's something to
bring it Right.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
but then people say that what we're doing is a Chol
HaShem, because so actuallyMashiach won't come because
we're doing this.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
So that's the rebuttal.
They say but people can bewrong also right.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
And I can't believe you.
Let Leo say and you go.
You should have said what thehell is that?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Well, no, because I'm really and it's sad that I know
these words, people, becausepeople send me comments and
messages and I see it.
I see what you people say.
I know it's really not nice.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I mean, I think that the Hashem is people sending
messages like that, right.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, exactly what is worse Someone who's in a
consensual gay relationship oryou sending mean messages on the
internet?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Sending mean messages .
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I think sending me messages is more of a.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
It's disgusting.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
That's preventing Mashiach I want to go back to
what you said, because I don'tspeak to my parents because of
the whole gay thing, so I feellike I have some leeway here.
But you said it shouldn't beemotional work to get to the
point where you accept your kidto be gay.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Wait, wait, wait.
I just want to clarify that.
I think that that's emotionalwork.
That is the job of the parents.
When you decide to havechildren, you don't get to put
that on children.
That's not fair.
They didn't ask to be born Iagree.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
But I'm just saying I I totally understand when
someone maybe has a, an image ofwhat their child's life is
going to look like and then,when it diverts from that, how
it could be you don't get to dothat, leo.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
You don't get to do that.
That's not fair no, it's it's.
I think, like I want ari to bea roller skater, like I had a
dream that he would be a roller.
That's not fair.
No, it's it's.
I think, like I want Ari to bea roller skater, like I had a
dream that he would be a rollerskater.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
That's a little different.
I mean, I think, sometimes itcomes from a place of your child
.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Just not true.
Like we have ample evidence ofhundreds of thousands, if not
millions, of gay couples who areliving beautiful, fulfilling
incredible lives.
They're incredible parents.
I I mean you want to make thisargument like a hundred years
ago, like maybe I couldentertain it, but like it's just
(14:52):
bullshit, like you don't get tohave kids and then it's, it's a
horrible thing to do to a childwhat would make you happy.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
That's all.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
That's right, I agree , I think that your job as a
parent is what would make youhappy.
That's right, I agree.
I think that your job as aparent is what would make you
happy.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
It's still your values.
On the child it's still yourvalues, but that's what it is,
as one doesn't have children.
It's not.
I mean, I see it, but that'swhat it is, do you?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
think that makes us more palatable to people, the
fact that we have made thedecision not to have children,
like, okay, they're interfaithbut they're not having kids.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I think people are shocked that I don't have
children.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Like I think I do think it's like a little
insidious, but I think that likethat is kind of it makes it a
little bit more easier forpeople to swallow.
Who are these people, like thegeneral public who comes to your
shows?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
No Like religious people.
Nah.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I think if people are coming to your shows, they Just
want to laugh.
Yeah, they're okay, likethey're fine.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Just want to laugh.
They're not looking to fulfillanything, they want to laugh.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Wait, all right.
What other questions do we?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
have Next question.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
So wait, what's our answer for her?
To just ask what.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Ask your child what would make him happy and take it
from there, take theconversation from there.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
And I think that also , when you come to something
from a positive way, it's muchmore productive than to come to
something from a negative way.
When you make somebody feelwelcome in your home, if you
have somebody who's in your home, if you have somebody who's not
Jewish who comes to your houseand you make them feel welcome
and part of they're going to bemuch more amenable to being part
(16:34):
of something that's importantto you instead of making them
feel alienated.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Okay, next question.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Okay Modi.
Yes, how old were you when yourealized you were funny?
Who was that?
One person or people that wereyour first best audience?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
So this question is I knew I was entertaining.
Funny, I didn't know untilagain.
Donnie Moss, I always tell thestory.
My friend, when I was workingat Merrill Lynch and coming home
imitating the secretaries, andhe said you should be doing this
on stage.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
But it never occurred to you before that Like you
must've been doing these in,like your parents, like you made
them laugh.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah, entertaining, it's more entertaining.
I didn't think it was funny, itwas just more entertaining.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
When you were a kid in school, were you like the
class clown?
Were you making people laugh?

That's when it clicked.
That's when it clicked.
Yeah, Good question, Nest.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
What goes into making a comedy show.
That is to say, on what do youbase your material?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
A lot of emails.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
People watching, politics, societal norms et
cetera.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Yeah, you talk to yourself a lot yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah, modi doesn't write in like a traditional
sense, where you think like acomedian sits down and was like
okay, I'm going to write for anhour.
That doesn't happen.
Modi is just constantlyrehearsing in his's how he's so
(19:49):

This is I'm giving you one.
How do we keep Mashiach energygoing in such troublesome times?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
find a comedy show invite a few friends to go to it
with you.
Mashiach energy going in suchtroublesome times.
Find a comedy show and invite afew friends to go to it with
you.
Send a friend a clip, make aphone call.
It's so easy to just find alittle bit help, just help
somebody.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Help.
You always say you can doanything for smiling at somebody
.
Smile at somebody your shirt'sso nice.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I love what you did with your hair.
You look great.
That creates Moshiach energy.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Send a meal to a Holocaust survivor, help
somebody across the street, likeyou always say, like you can do
anything.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Anything that creates a little bit of Moshiach energy
, that's it.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Don't be a bitch to people.
Don't be a bitch.
Still working on that.
So that was it.
That's the whole question.
So good, that was the question.
That was one of them.
Is there any chance of having awhole show in Hebrew?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I've done that twice.
You have.
Yeah, it was very, very hard.
I imagine it's hard.
It was very, very, very hard.
One time I did it I remember itwas at the JCC of New Jersey.
At the JCC of New Jersey, thegood thing was, the entire
audience were all people whowere Americans, americans that
(21:31):
Israelis that moved to America.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Right, right right.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
So it was all performed for, like your mom and
dad, right right, right, rightright they all know.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
An hour you did in Hebrew.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I did it like probably an hour.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I'm doing a show in February.
That's in all Hebrew.
But it's only, like you know,15 minutes and I'm already like
how am I going to do this?
It's hard.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
It's very just.
Everybody listening is going tobe American-Israeli, right, so
just talk about your parents.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Is there a chance of having a whole show in Hebrew?
Is the question.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I feel like, don't rule it out, I'm not ruling it
out.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Anything is possible.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Someone wrote big fan .
I have been to several of yourshows asking for a friend.
Will your upcoming shows haveall new material?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yes, yes, the shows that are on now is all new
material and it's nothing.
The shows that are on now isall new material and it's
nothing to do with the pastspecial or anything that we put
up on Instagram.
Pause for Laughter is a brandnew hour and 10 minutes.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
But you can also tell , because it's a different title
of the tour.
No, people didn't know that.
People don't understand.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I give it to them.
They don't understand what'shappened, like the timeline of
the material and all that stuffauthor said to me he didn't
understand that at all.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Okay, he goes.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yeah, he didn't understand that, um so do people
think you're just going andkeeping on doing the same jokes
over and over and over?
I think so.
I think people I I have beenstruggling with this recently
that I think, in terms of justlike the brand and trying to
figure out what to post and likeall that stuff, I think that
people think that you just go onstage and do like Ashkenazi,
(23:05):
sephardic stuff all day long.
God forbid, and I'm like tryingto tell you no, that was a bit
that you probably saw one time.
Um, but that's not.
First of all, it's not in theact at all anymore.
No, but it's crazy, like whatpeople's perceptions are yeah,
and the new show is amazing andit's.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
But but like, like um , know your audience and pause
for laughter.
Two different shows.
People don't understand that,like, author didn't get that.
It's like wow, but it's, um,it's, it's.
But they should watch the oldstuff, sure.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I'm saying that.
That's how you can tell ingeneral, usually when a comic is
doing all new material.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
People aren't perceptive.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
People don't know that they're also not in the
comedy world.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I'm trying to help them.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Right, right, right.
So just so tell them that every, every show, every tour has its
own name.
It's all new material.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
That's what I'm saying is that if it has a
different name, it's a differenttour, it's different jokes.
People came up to me with abeacon.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
It is hard because people like, when you go see a
musician or a band or a singer,you kind of want them to do
songs that you know and I dothink there's a little bit of
that at play with live comedyAgreed.
You kind of are like, oh, Ihope he does this bit, but you
don't want him to do all thesame thing Exactly.
Most people don't go to a lotof comedy shows.
(24:28):
I think that's a fact.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
And so I feel like it's from like a consumer
standpoint, I kind of get likethe confusion.
Okay, it's from like a consumerstandpoint, I I kind of get
like the confusion okay.
Well, we're clearing like theone percent of people who have
sat through comedy and seen livecomedy, like we're at the
outlier of the outliers.
We're definitely not like sofor someone who goes once or
twice a year and they buytickets to something, yeah, they
(24:51):
want to know that they'reseeing something different
except they also want to seesome of the same.
Right, it's a hard thing tojuggle and when I speak to
people for private events not somuch now but before they would
always ask is it going to be new?
Is it going to be what we saw?
And I would be like you knowthat's a sticky question to ask
because if he goes up there andhe does none of the bits that
(25:12):
you recognize, he's going to getoff stage and you're going to
say I none of the bits that yourecognize.
He's going to get off stage andyou're going to say I wish you
would have done the Hetzel a bit.
But if he goes up there anddoes all old stuff, you're going
to be like we've seen all ofthat before.
And that's where the art ofbeing, like I said, being a
comedian and, being aprofessional, he has to read the
room.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Has to read the room.
Speaking of reading the room,how much effort does it take to
walk the line between what youknow is funny and relatable and
what might be uncomfortabletopics, a couple of topics.
Yeah, I mean, I feel likethat's not so much your.
You don't really do other.
I mean people do, though right,like you, you don't know if
you're stepping over the lineuntil you step over it, though,
right, that's why cancel culturehas was such a problem for
(26:01):
comics um is cancel culture.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Still such a.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Thing I think it's less post I think it's helped
comics.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
It's helped comics more than it's hurt comics I
think there was like a year anda half where people were scared
and then it quickly was likethere were comics who said that
they stopped going to perform in, like certain states and
colleges, because you couldn'tsay anything.
I think it's changed.
I think we haven't evenprocessed how quickly.
(26:31):
I wouldn't say a backlash, butlike definitely a backpedaling
of a lot of those like you knowyou have to be politically
correct all the time.
Like how fast that changedovernight.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
I mean okay, Next.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Let me see if I'm missing anything.
I think those were the bestones.
I think those were easy.
Those were easy were the bestones, I think.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Those were easy.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Those were easy.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Very, very, very easy .
Speaker 3 (27:00):
You want harder ones.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Yes, send in harder questions.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
But those were very easy and thank you for sending
them in.
Next topic what do you have onthere?
Speaker 3 (27:17):
I sent you guys a joke.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
A Holocaust joke?
Yes, that Ricky Gervais toldJerry Seinfeld and Ricky Gervais
said that.
Or the person who posted saidthis is the most philosophical
joke in the world.
Will you do the honors ofretelling the joke?
No, I think we should play it.
(27:41):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Edit it in here, and then we can just discuss it
afterwards.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Can I try to say it?
Sure, go ahead.
A Holocaust survivor dies andgoes to heaven.
He meets God and tells him aHolocaust joke.
God doesn't laugh.
The Holocaust survivor says Iguess you had to be there.
Did I do a good job?
Great job, great job, youkilled it.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
For something I heard once a few hours ago.
You did very well today, Leo, Ihave to say.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
So I guess what's the thing that was God at the
Holocaust.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
So obviously there's a whole thing about like it's
basically him saying God wasn'tthere.
It's an amazing joke becauseit's going to spark
conversations.
As long as people are talkingabout the Holocaust, it's good.
As long as people are talkingabout it, whatever it is is
great.
It's an amazing joke becauseit's you know, it's saying God
(28:35):
wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
What is the like what ?
What is there?
How was god there?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
how?
We don't.
We don't know, we don't knowhow, we don't know what trip,
what.
What made the holocaust happen?
We know that.
And again, god is not a personsaying, okay now, holocaust,
it's's an energy, it's oneness.
Oneness was off, the world wasoff and that happened, and that
something happened to cause that.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
But where?
So, okay, but just for a littlebit of context, I posted this
joke and somebody wrote and saidcan you please share this on
the podcast and have Modi talkabout it?
Right, and I think the questionis is how could God have been
there Like and that and let thathappen, let's discuss the joke,
(29:25):
not the concept.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
So I don't know how God was there.
There were miracles thathappened in the camps.
Okay, people that did survive.
I just sat through a shiva of aHolocaust survivor and there
were people talking about themiracles that happened in the
camps.
Okay, people that did survive.
I just sat through a shiver ofa Holocaust survivor and there
were people talking about themiracles that happened in the
camps.
Why they were camps is adifferent story.
Okay, okay, and it's not like,but the joke, the joke Good,
good.
Back to the joke.
(29:48):
The joke is would spark aconversation.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Right.
So Seinfeld said it's a novelin a joke.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
It's a novel in a joke.
You could write a whole bookabout this.
Was God there?
He wasn't there.
What is God?
Who is God?
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Is there a God?
It's all of that.
I have heard like religiouspeople who like debate these
things, who like do believe inGod, who are like you know the
argument of like oh, look at allthese bad things that happened.
How could you say there's a God?
That's actually like a horribleargument because free will and
we make our own problems andstuff.
But six million, that's a lotof people.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
It's a lot of people, so whatever happened that made
that happen was it's notsomething I talk?
Speaker 3 (30:32):
about, but it's the joke.
You're saying the joke.
Back to the joke, back to thejoke.
It's not something I talk about, but it's the joke.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
You're saying the joke.
Back to the joke, back to thejoke.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
It's a great joke Because it says so much in so
little, right.
Like the comment, like it's solayered, right.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
A.
The Holocaust survivor has asense of humor.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
That was actually my big takeaway from it.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
He has a sense of humor, you know, and then and
then it's.
It's funny because even laterthe video's even later, because
Ricky Gervais doesn't believe inGod, right, I don't know about
Seinfeld, but I know RickyGervais yeah, that's right is a
atheist, talks about it.
He's an atheist, does notbelieve in God.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah, it's like part of his whole brand, part of his
whole brand.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
yeah, but it's a great joke that brings up all
kinds of.
It's a great joke.
It's a great joke.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
It reminds me Gilbert Gottfried used to tell this
joke.
It's different.
I'm sure you know this thatthis mother was at the beach
with her baby and the baby gottaken to shore.
And the mother just startsscreaming and praying please God
, please God, I'll do anythinggot taken to shore and the
mother just starts screaming andpraying please god, please god,
I'll do anything.
Just please give me my babyback.
And suddenly the baby comesback on the land and she picks
(31:43):
it up and she says he waswearing a hat, waveboard him,
took him on, waveboard him back.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Yeah, that's, uh, it's a great joke I know why?
Why do you see those two jokesas the same?
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Because I think that in that joke there's also a
novel, like I think that in thatjoke it's so layered of.
So much happens in that joke.
It says so much about ourculture and hope and laws and
just asking God for stuff yeah,and just asking God for stuff
(32:15):
yeah, and just asking.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah, well, on the asking God for stuff joke,
that's not even the one youwould go to.
You would go to the one aboutthe rabbi whose synagogue is
failing and he needs money andhe says praise to God, please,
let me win the lottery, please.
If I win the lottery, I'll beable to pay off the synagogue
mortgage.
I'll be able to make lunch, thelottery I'll be able to pay off
the synagogue mortgage.
I'll be able to make lunch forpeople.
(32:38):
I'll be able to help the poor.
If I just let me win thelottery.
And the week goes by, hedoesn't win the lottery, and
again and again and it justdoesn't work and he's screaming
to God, please, not for me.
And God finally goes do me.
That could be layer two.
You need a vessel.
(32:58):
A vessel needs to be built.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah .
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, those are like the God
jokes, yes.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
They're fun.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
They're fun and they do spark a conversation.
And again, anytime you talkabout the Holocaust, I'm okay,
talk about it, start theconversation.
Yeah, very important, yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
That was like when I got dressed up as a hot dog for
Halloween.
And I had a little sign on methat said my name is and I wrote
Anne.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
And Frank oh, I get that.
Wow, I think that's a littledifferent.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Perry, that's funny.
And this, I think that's alittle different, perrie, that's
funny.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Speaking of it's not, because this woman started
yelling at me on Broadway and78th Street and she said are you
making fun of the Holocaust?
My grandparents were Holocaustsurvivors.
And I said, first of all, sowere mine, and no, like God
forbid, I would never make funof the Holocaust.
(33:57):
And I said exactly what youjust said, which is that I'm
sparking a conversation aboutthe Holocaust and, by the way,
it's a brilliant idea.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
It was brilliant.
And speaking of hot dogs, yes,we want it.
Yes, a great way.
A&h Provisions Best Glot kosherfoods and, of course, best hot
dogs in the world Even the guyin the center.

Thank you, arthur and everybodyfrom Weitz and Luxembourg, and
WeitzLuxcom.
Done, all right, okay, okayNext.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Okay, now I thought we could do a little segment
called story time with modi.
Oh, okay okay, um, and I wastrying to think of what stories
would be appropriate and fun totell, and I looked at leo for
some guidelines and he just toldme to keep it PG-13.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Okay, so the first story I thought could be
appropriate, given what's goingon in the world, is the story
about when you met Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Oh, when I first met Donald Trump, I met Donald Trump
the Saturday after 9-11.
We had these shows in.
I had my first Atlantic Cityshow.
It was a part of like a wholetour with Stuttering John and
guys from the Howard Stern showand Jim.
I don't remember who was on,but I think it was a bunch of
(35:53):
guys from the Howard Stern crew.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
And you couldn't get out of the city because all the
planes were grounded right.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
We were going to drive anyway, but Donald Trump
drove down.
He said he hasn't driven toAtlantic City in years and he
came to the show Back then.
He was a big fan of Stern, andthen we had lunch with him the
next day and was sitting there.
So I don't know exactly if hewas married to Melania or not or
whatever the what was, butshe's sitting across from me and
(36:24):
I keep saying, hey, you lookvery familiar, you look very
familiar.
There were like banners of herface throughout the entire hotel
and on the back of the key.
You know, the key that you getin and out of your room was was
her face.
Really, I swear to you and, andlike everything I keep asking,
you look very familiar.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
John would like be kicking me under the table and
uh, but that's like the episodeof the crown where the queen
mother goes to that castle andhe's like you look very familiar
, it'll come to me.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
She's like I'm the queen bitch but, but we, he came
backstage and the whole show isa fundraiser and I have a
picture of me and him and we'reholding a um, one of those water
, water, uh, you know thosewater dispensers where you pick
up the big uh, yeah the, the bigjug of water.
You flip it over and we werefilling that with money.
(37:16):
There's a picture of me and himholding it together.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Oh my, Speaking of Melania and Trump.
The Jimmy Carter funeral.
Did you see that footage of allthe ex-presidents sitting
together.
Yes, I just want to say, assomeone who can hold a grudge,
surprising to no one the factthat Kamala can walk into that
room and just not lose her shit.
(37:41):
It's so crazy to me, I do.
You see, you saw karen pence,though would not shake trump's
hand or say hi to him, or shejust completely ignored him can
you blame her?
Yeah, they were almost lynchedbecause of that man.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
I mean, and he just like walks in and like nothing.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Meanwhile he was talking to Obama like they were
pals.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
And George Bush gave him a how you doing.
Like a little flick it allshows you that it's a big game.
Yes, it's a big.
It's a big.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
I don't think it's a big game.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
It's a big game.
It's a big game.
It's a big game.
It's a big game.
These people are travelingtogether.
They're going to each other'sweddings.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Who's these people?
Speaker 3 (38:21):
All of these ex-presidents and people.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
I agree with you, but I don't think.
I think Trump is an outlierthere.
I don't think.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Well apparently not.
It was like they were alltogether.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Well, that's because it's a state event.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
It's a state event, it's a state funeral.
They all have to sit together.
It could have been much moresomber, like.
It was very um.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
They were very familiar with each other that
was not the first time that theywere chatting.
Well, michelle obama didn't go,she like refused to go.
I want to tell you that, whichI wouldn't go either we know you
wouldn't go I'm in shock thatdonald trump didn't bring't
bring Elon Musk instead ofMelania.
As his plus one.
As his plus one.
Could you imagine Elon Muskjust jumping down the aisle?
Speaker 1 (39:05):
With his Asbury jump and it would have been amazing.
And it would have been I thinkTrump knows it's all anybody
would have talked about and likehe didn't want to really steal
everything from Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
Oh yeah, I'm sure he's that considerate of other
people.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
I was on the plane when this happened because you
know I don't watch the news but,like, jimmy Carter's drive
through Washington began at thesame time that Donald Trump went
and spoke at Mar-a-Lago he hada conference at the same time
went and spoke at Mar-a-Lago hehad a conference at the same
time.
So I was watching like that onthe TV that had live, you know,
on the back of the Delta chair,and it was just so crazy.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Meanwhile didn't like Jimmy Carter have to like give
up his peanut farm so that hecould take office.
Meanwhile, like Trump, is likeslinging stakes in university
courses and bankruptcies andhush money and et cetera, et
cetera, et cetera.
Yes, yes, crazy.
So Jimmy Carter would haveloved that he was at his funeral
.
This guy who has a plane withhis name on it, he who had to
(40:09):
give up his peanut farm.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Yeah, as someone who lived through the Jimmy Carter
thing, so I will tell you what'sreally funny.
So when you hear Jimmy Carter,it doesn't really mean anything
to you.
It's like me hearing.
I was raised in my personalparticular household that he was
very bad, okay, so I livedthrough the Jimmy Carter
administration and what was yourtakeaway when I hear Jimmy
(40:30):
Carter, what do you hear?
So right away in my head there'sthe blink of the Sadat and
Menachem baking, shaking hands,that, that, that, and then right
away, the next beep is hostages.
When Jimmy Carter was in officeback then there wasn't
(40:51):
Instagram.
It was every night you sat atthe TV and watched the news.
It was every night you sat atthe TV and watched the news.
And it began with today is the320th day that the hostages are
held in Iran and he never gotthem out and he had a failed
attempt to get them out.
And when I hear Jimmy Carter,it's synonymous with the words
(41:12):
hostages and it's so crazy likehis death.
And now the hostages and, godwilling, by the time this thing
airs, they'll all be freed umand uh and and so to jimmy
carter, to me is is hostages, islike I remember that it was
such a how many people were iniran.
(41:33):
It was a lot.
They had a lot of hostagesthere and they were super
innocent students and they weremasked the whole time and it was
so horrible.
It was such a horrible thing tolive through.
Speaker 3 (41:46):
Today we're like almost numb that there's
hostages 53 United Statesdiplomats and citizens were held
hostage from Novembermber 4th1979 to january 20th 1981 in
iran, jesus that's how manyyears?
Speaker 1 (42:05):
over a year, a year and change.
So yeah, two years um what?
Speaker 3 (42:13):
why was jimmy carter um very bad in your house?
Speaker 1 (42:16):
In your house.
Well, you're from Georgia, sothat didn't no, no, but this was
.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
No, this was not from Georgia people.
This was from when I lived inFlorida.
I don't know why I don't know,he was Democrat.
Yeah, that's why Maybe that'swhy, yeah, the baby killer.
Next question.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Yeah, perrion, yeah period he was yeah, my parents
were what?
We call single issue voters andthen Reagan came with all that
charm and no second term forJimmy Carter, all that charm,
and killed it.
He I mean we're like yes he wasa personality hire right.
Jimmy Carter.
(42:53):
When he spoke he spoke softly,he spoke very nice and then he
spoke very nicely.
And then Reagan coming withzingers and jokes and he looked
like you know Reagan was anactor.
It was easy to look at, it wasfun.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
Reagan, though he really dropped the ball, oh he
dropped the ball.
Speaker 1 (43:11):
So when I think of Reagan.
I think of AIDS yeah of course,yeah, it's the first thing, I
think of Reagan, I think of AIDS, yeah, of course, yeah, it's
the first thing I think of.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
I mean, hundreds of thousands of people died on his
watch.
Okay, that time I performed inRotterdam.
Can you finish this sentence?
Speaker 2 (43:32):
Oh, is that when you got really sick?
No, don't say that.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
Why this is such a funny story.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
No, but I will tell you.
I remember performing inRotterdam and they had Rotterdam
.
Those of you who don't knowit's like the background of the
stage.
You know, instead of a brickwall they had the skyline of
Rotterdam.
Rotterdam has a skyline.
There are big buildings inRotterdam because they had to
(44:01):
rebuild Rotterdam after WorldWar II, because they were going
to fight the Nazis in Rotterdamand the Nazis destroyed them.
So my opening line was it'sgreat being here in Rotterdam
with the skyline of Rotterdambrought to you by the luftwaffe,
the german, the german airforce, and that got a huge, huge
(44:23):
bit like laugh.
And but the other story isabout it's not a good food
poisoning.
Next question it's not, it's notcute.
Speaker 3 (44:35):
I like this story of how you got the part in the
Sopranos.
I feel like this is notprominently featured on this
podcast ever.
Speaker 2 (44:45):
I want to make a public admission here.
