Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome to.
And here's Modi.
And we're back with and here'sModi, with Periel and Leo at the
studio.
Hello, hello, we are currentlyon the Pause for Laughter tour,
traveling all over the worldwith the show.
(00:26):
This hour and 15 minutes isamazing, and recently I was
going to go do a show andsomeone said they wanted
material from the old hour,which I'm just not doing now,
and then I realized I don't evenknow the material from the old
hour.
So I went on the treadmill andwatched Know your Audience, my
(00:51):
last special, which I literallyforgot all the jokes from
because I haven't been doing anyof them and I forgot how good
it was.
I forgot those of you who it'sbeen a while or need to see
something funny.
Go to Know your audience.
It's available now for free onyoutube and on amazon, but but,
uh, watch it, share it.
(01:12):
It's just a great, it's a greattime.
And uh, I, I can't believe Iforgot.
I forgot the jokes, like Iforgot the setups and uh and the
jokes themselves because I'vebeen so busy with this new hour.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I love the idea of somebody casually walking by you
at the gym and seeing youwatching your own special.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I bet every comic watches their some set or some
of themselves when they're on.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Were you cracking up.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
There were moments I was cracking up, I just forgot
how and I knew the joke wasgoing to come, but it was just
like it was just so, so crazy tocause.
I was doing that hour for two,for two, two, two, two years.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
And then now this one is just like a completely
sucked me into it.
I don't't think about any ofthose jokes, Um, but people ask
for that stuff and I'm just youknow, but it's a whole, it's a
whole new hour.
We just people would just cometo a show.
We watched that.
This is a whole new hour.
It's a whole new hour and 15minutes and it's amazing and
(02:18):
it's great, and that's it.
That was my original, my, my,my offshoot thought for the
podcast.
And on this tour, how often areyou guys on planes, would you
say.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
We're often on planes .
In 2024, we took 63 flights,wow.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
And none of them turned upside down.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Baruch Hashem, baruch Hashem, could you imagine being
on that plane?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I've been practicing ever since.
I been like with the seat belt.
How?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
do you release?
How do you do that?
Why would you want to release?
Well, once you have to release,to get off the plane, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
So, first of all, I fly, you know, often not nearly
as often as you guys fly, butI'm I get a little bit nervous.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I take valium, not like I don't love to fly, and I
take valium because I lovevalium, not because I don't like
flying he tastes the biscotticookies.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
That's what he takes from.
There's a cookie that yeah,what's it?
Called biscott.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Those little biscotti .
I know those little um.
Yeah, what's your airline?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
delta yeah, me too.
So I um, do you get nervouswhen there's turbulence?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
no, actually no no, not at all I was, I swear to god
.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I flew back from mexico late last night and I
there was turbulence and I justkept thinking about the two of
you to calm myself down no one,no, no plane has like ever
crashed because of turbulence,if that makes sense okay, but
none of this is like logic orreasonable right right, you're
(03:52):
just shaking.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You're just your wings are shaking those
wingspans on the plane have 20feet, they can.
They can go up and up and downyeah and it only goes the most
like it's three feet, three feet, so it's not a big deal.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
My seatbelt I am listening to that seatbelt sign
these days.
I am not going to be caughtwith my forehead in someone's
storage bin.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Oh my God.
Based on the news, Can you?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
imagine being on that flight.
I can't.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Could you imagine being offered like 5,000 miles
sky miles?
I on that flight.
I can't.
Could you imagine being offeredlike 5,000 miles sky miles?
I think that's what theyoffered everyone.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I think they gave them.
That's it.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
I think they gave them 5,000 sky miles, I'm pretty
sure someone gave me thatrecently because the screen on
my seat wasn't working.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Right, they have.
The flight attendants have thislittle little phone that's like
off the flight phone.
And they can just come over andgo.
I'm so sorry we didn't have it,but I can just add you know,
just give you 5,000 points orwhatever amount of points it is,
and it's like it just makes iteasier and you feel like you got
something.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Totally.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
And it prevents you from having to send an email.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
But the chutzpah of getting that.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I read that they were giving them like $30,000.
Oh, but maybe what you read isright.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I don't believe anything on the internet.
I might have just made that up.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
It doesn't matter Whatever, it doesn't matter,
it's our podcast.
It doesn't matter yeah.
And when we say things that arewrong, it's okay.
It doesn't matter it should be,it doesn't matter.
Do you think we did?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
it wrong.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Oh, and I sang some song the other day on the thing
I said one of the words wrongand everybody had what to say.
Everybody became a scholar.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Welcome to, and it Doesn't Matter with Modi, leo
and Ariel, because guess what?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Whose line is it?
Anyway, points are made up.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
You know what I bought at the airport.
I haven't decided who I'mgiving it to yet.
I bought a Donald Trumpchocolate bar.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Ew, I saw those.
We saw those at a gas station.
They're so funny.
It's funny, but it's great thathis fans love him.
It's insane.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I'm like I'm going to give this to somebody.
Somebody is going to be happyto get this.
It's so ridiculous.
Like who said we're makingTrump chocolate bar?
I mean, did you ever see achocolate bar with any other
president on it?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
No, but I'm up for it If he can sell merch sell it.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
They could have done Obama, but it would have been
milk chocolate.
You know what I mean.
Oh folks, let's would have beenmilk chocolate.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You know what I mean.
Oh folks, let's not get racyhere.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Is it really that racy?
It's not that racy.
Guess what, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
The world is on fire.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Planes are falling out of the ground.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
That's what people are getting worked up about.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Someone was telling me you know, everything's going
on now with this administrationis going to be like a TV show.
I go it is, it's on, it'salready on, it's already on.
You have to choose if you'rewatching this, this, these
episodes of this season ofcomplete mayhem in the White
House, but it's wild.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
And it's just so.
I'm not keeping up with any ofit, I'm not keeping up with it
If I have to see Elon Musk'sdumb face one more time on my
screen.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I'm more sick of him than Trump.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
honestly, For sure he's so annoying.
Hey, he's not even American.
Why is he allowed all thesecurity clearance?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I think, Not a fan.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
You know, Jackie Mason had an amazing line.
He said they should fire allthe senators.
This is the biggest countrymaking the most money.
We haven't shown a profit inyears, you know, because they
should put them on commissions.
That was like his lunch.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
That's called kickbacks and bribery.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
It's, it's it's, he's cleaning up.
We have friends and you havefriends too who go go to work
and do nothing.
They go, they sit at a job,it's mostly us.
No, you and I don't, but wedon't pretend no, when Leo goes
into work mode, it's it's.
All Emails are answered, thingsare taken care of and done.
(07:59):
He's not sitting at a desk or acubicle.
God forbid pretending to bebusy.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I tried that.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
It didn't go well, that's not a normal thing.
So there are people who donothing all day.
They're giving some assignmentthat takes them 15 minutes, but
they give them three weeks to doit.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Do you remember that time?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Do you remember when I did?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
that job while I was still also managing you, but I
was like I think I need a realjob too, just to, like, keep me
sane.
I remember that and I lastedwhat like three months no, not
even.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I don't remember so clearly it wasn't that long ago.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I remember the moment I realized because it was like
a corporate environment.
Everyone has these like made upjob titles you got like a cute
prada folder, I remember yeah,and I, I, the moment I realized
I felt like I was on the trumanshow, like the moment I realized
that no one was doing anythingand everyone was just like
sending, everyone was justsending tasks to each other back
(08:56):
around in a big circle ofnothing, that I was just like,
oh, so he wants to clean that up.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
He, he knows that there are people doing not, I
don't know.
I'm I'm watching from theheadlines and from all that.
I'm just saying he wants he'sobviously he's flamp, not
flamboyant, but he's um, he'sover the top and whatever and
he's talking about.
He talked about his securitydetail.
That day was pretty funny, butbut he, he knows that there are
(09:22):
people doing nothing at jobsthat they're being paid for.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
That might be true, but he's so culty.
That's the part that he's.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
You guys, are we talking about Musk or Trump?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I'm talking about Elon Musk.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I'm telling you right now Are we talking about Musk
or Trump?
I'm talking about Elon Musk.
I'm telling you right now andthe time I talked about it the
power is so much stronger thanmoney.
They are so high on power rightnow?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah, totally, elon's just high on ketamine.
Have you seen that interview?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
No, I saw the interview.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
He's needing to do ketamine and at the inauguration
he was like high.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
So I saw the same interview and he said that he's
done it a few times.
He does it once in a while.
He doesn't say he does it often.
He said it's been a long timesince he's done it.
Yeah, I don't believe any ofthat.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Yeah, I believe, because I'm the same way,
because I'm the same way.
He's high on ketamine, he's not, he's autistic, he also has
like a Toddward dangling off ofhis head.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, so it.
But because that's going tobring press, it's going to be
you guys.
They are so high on power.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
But if we can get stuff done, people don't like it
when we talk about this, soyeah, we should, but whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I hope they just, they don't, no, they don't and
they're going to say, is justfor Trump, is just to keep
getting the hostages out.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah.
That's all I have to say andlet me tell you something I
never do political humor andbecause of Musk and Donald Trump
, I've been getting some veryparved jokes.
Now, I'm not trying to hit anyside, but very good jokes.
I don't want to ruin it becausethey're in the special and that
they're in the act now, butit's like it's really good stuff
(11:07):
.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I've seen you do it at the cellar.
It's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, but there's more to that and it's just so.
That was it.
I forgot why we got on thistopic.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
We'll get off the topic just as quickly as we got
on.
I just got back from club med,oh that's right, you told me I
just went to club med for thefirst time in my life for a week
and I have a lot of uhconstructive feedback for the
organization.
But we can save that foranother time.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
You said you went in mexico we went yeah but there
are club meds all over the world, correct?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Oh yeah, they're still around.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Hands up.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Is it supposed to be nice or is it like a family
thing?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
So some of the I don't know what it's supposed to
be it looked, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
I saw from your stories little glimpses.
Here and there it looked likeyou were in a nice place.
It was nice, it's not like aluxury thing, like a, like a,
come on.
So there are.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
No, no, so there are certain club meds that are
gorgeous, luxury, pristine,incredible, like.
And then there are other ClubMeds that are, I think, less so
and it's a family thing, right,like you go with kids.
Speaker 3 (12:25):

it's amazing, it really it'sgreat.
Speaker 2 (12:32):

But we were talking.
One of my first comedy tapeswas at Club Med we were at.
My friend Dadani said let's doa gay weekend.
This is over 30 years ago.
I just began doing comedy and Ireally didn't have a good tape.
And there was the night wherethe people go up and do their

It was a gay weekend at Club.
Speaker 3 (15:44):

Speaker 1 (15:46):
I would have loved that one.
And we were there and we metwith some, we, we, we, we went
and we met people.
We became friends.
It was like a nice thing.
And Besides the open mic nightshow, they had Michael Feinstein
the piano guy singer MichaelFeinstein, I think that's his
(16:08):
name.
He has a night at the CarlisleHotel.
He's a big deal.
And they also had Coco the dragqueen, coco Patrice Coco.
Speaker 3 (16:18):

No Miss Coco.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Miss Coco yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Something Coco, yeah, and it's really I should know
the name, but that was that.
And then I did the set and itwas taped and I got the tape and
that was a tape that I used asa tape I used to to get my spot
at at the comedy cellar.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
It was taped over there.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Do you still have that?
Yeah, we have to cut that intothis I think I had.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Oh my God I was.
So I had no act.
And then I asked for lights andbegan to speak to the people.
I was doing crowd work.
I was doing crowd work in thereand I was obviously I'd been
there for a week so I'd seenpeople and what they're doing,
and we all have experienced thesame food and the same beach and
the same pool and the sameeverything.
So it was easy to do it, but Iremember that was the first tape
(17:08):
I ever had.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
And who taped it for you?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Back then it was a big VHS tape.
You can buy it, Just like youbuy pictures of your family.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
You can still buy it.
They're still extorting you.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, I'm sure they are, but otherwise club meds.
The other ones I went to wereall ski club meds.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Right, so yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
And then all I remember is at night you go
there and they had that one songHands up, baby, hands up, give
me your heart, give me, give meyour heart, give me, give me
hands up, oh la la are you askier?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I used to be a huge skier, yeah really big time so
you would go to club med withwho like.
Why would you go?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
to my parents.
We were a ski family, we skied.
That was it.
And then I skied on my own andvacations I would go skiing, and
then now I just I feel it's toodangerous to be doing that.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
It is Do you ski?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I have skied.
Yeah, we were on a trip onetime and we went skiing together
.
I've skied like three times.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I feel like it's really worth the risk.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
It's now worth the risk.
I have got a low center ofgravity.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I love skiing and I was crazy.
I love skiing and I was crazy.
I was younger and I was like Iwould do the moguls flying in
the air.
I didn't care anything.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Now it's like it's not worth the risk.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
By the way, it was like I'm talking about this in
the show now, you know, with oldpeople and falling, yeah.
You know, should I be doingthis?
Should I be doing this?
Should I be doing this?
Speaker 2 (18:42):
The answer is no, because you will break something
.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
No, you can go slowly , you can go that, but okay.
But if you break something, areyou okay for a while.
No, not with skiing, Like I feellike it's really Someone who
has a corporate job and he sitsin a computer all day.
He breaks his leg during hisski vacation.
It's not going to affect him.
He's going to go sit there infront of his computer and look
at the Dow Jones.
Okay, someone who has to get onstage, walking on stage, does
(19:09):
not need to chance having abroken leg.
It's stand-up comedy, notroll-up-to-the-microphone comedy
.
So that's why I don't ski.
I think it's a wise decision.
Yeah, I think so too, althoughthe outfits are cute I was
killed, I killed I'm sure Ikilled and we also, when last
time we went skiing it wast-shirt weather so like, and you
(19:33):
know biceps everywhere and itwas really hot and we had cute
helmets and goggles andeverything it.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
It's cute, that's cute.
Although you know I'm a beachgirl, Put me in the water, I
don't want.
It's like so much stuff and youhave to schlep with the.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
The amount of schlepping for skiing and the
money is insane, it's insane, itdoesn't stop.
You know, you get the glovesand the lip balm and that balm
and this balm, and your facealways comes out all looking
crazy after the ski trip,whereas you can just grab a
bathing suit and go on a beachthat's right yeah, but it's um,
it's a high.
(20:08):
Skiing is a high when you'rewhen you're going down that
mountain, the day's perfect andthe snow's conditions are
amazing and it's a high, it's ahigh look, I don't know, I don't
need a 250 pair of gloves it'sthat.
And then there's the opera, theafter ski.
Yeah, you show up with theoutfit.
You gotta do a turtleneckmoment.
(20:29):
You know a nice little andyou're everyone's exhausted and
you're in some crazy altitudethat a sip of wine you're
already drunk, so it's uh yourfeet are like frostbitten.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
It's just not the boys like to do it.
I'm always like call me whenyou're done.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
No, no, I, I get it.
It's such a an amazing high,but it's I just right now.
We don't.
Right now.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
It's not a high I'm chasing yeah, I'd rather see you
on a yacht than I would ratheralways be on a yacht.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
yes, I would rather always be on a yacht.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
yes, sir, yes, I hope we're not keeping you awake,
I'm just letting you guys talkabout skiing.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Anyway, we're done talking about skiing.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
You complain when I cut you off too much, and then
when I let you get your wordsout, you look at me like Are
your words out?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I'm done, my words are out.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
that was my take on ski okay, do you want to read
some Modi moments questions?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I don't feel like there's any other good ones in
there you don't.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I feel like you had good ones there.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I thought I liked.
How did you pick up Yiddish?
I know you've touched on thatbefore, but that seemed.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
There were better questions you had there.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
What was it like growing up in the five towns on
Long Island?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
What was it like growing up in the five towns on
Long Island?
Much different than it is now.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Now it's Borough Park .
It's all religious.
When I was there it was verycute and very not religious and
it was just a completelydifferent vibe.
But it's not a question we needto harp on because it's already
bored, Leo.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Okay, what was it like where you grew up?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Where was it like?
Where I grew up?
Oh well, I grew up in PembrokePines, florida, in Broward
County, in South Florida, and Igave it a shout out.
At all of the Fort Lauderdaleshows I said, hey, I have a 954
error code number, like on mycell phones.
Everyone loved that.
I grew up in Florida, so it's anice place to be a kid or an
(22:37):
old person.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Because, as a kid, you're barefoot, you're outside
all year long, you're ridingbikes, you're in someone's pool,
you're at the beach.
There's a lot of that.
There's a lot.
You can go disney world all thetime did you oh yeah, we went
to this.
We went to disney, not disneyworld, it is the one, but the
one that's in orlando, becausethere's disney world and there's
disneyland and the disney fansget upset when you mix them up.
(23:00):
So I don't want to get canceled.
But, we had season passes,because it was only like a three
hour drive.
So like that, like we couldjust go up there and like spend
the day and then like drive backlate at night.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
And that was legal for your parents.
Let you do that.
It wasn't like scandalous.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
The Disney people, disneyney, I don't know I mean
we did watch veggie tales thewhole way up there, but, um, we
were allowed to do disney.
Harry potter was a differentstory.
We had to warm up to harrypotter because it was witchcraft
.
But oh my god I was eventuallyallowed to read harry potter,
(23:42):
but for a long time I couldn'tand I was very upset about it
and, like family members, had totalk to my parents and be like.
This is like a culturalphenomenon he's missing out on.
All his friends are reading it.
It's not rich, which theythought it was going to like
make turn me into like asatanist or something well, it
may have got worse, but it didturn me gay so.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
And you're married to a rabbi, so good luck.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
But I have never taken Ari to Disneyland or World
or whatever.
I think he's too old at thispoint.
I think yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
We tried it once.
He's 11.
11.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
11 is.
I was just like you can go toSt Bart or you can go to
Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Oh, he's fine.
But if you had to and likesomehow, maybe Guy had some work
thing going on in Orlando orthere was a reason for you to be
there.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Is it cute?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Take him to like Islands of Adventure, like the
roller coasters and stuff, notlike Disney, disney's for like
little kids.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I don't want to go on a roller coaster.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
I'm sure Ari does.
I'll take him.
I love a roller coaster you doyeah.
The Hulk roller coaster andIslands of Adventure in Orlando.
Florida is my sh.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
He never ceases to amaze me With the roller coaster
.
What's so surprising?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Yeah, what the hell?
Absolutely.
Let me be very clear.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Let me be very clear.
Me be very clear a rollercoaster at a light, at a
legitimate theme park I'm notgoing on anything that's like at
a county fair right or like acarnival type thing.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
No, no, no, no, no, but an established roller
coaster yeah, do we have faithin the people that are
maintaining these?
I think so.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Everyone looks like Dave Attell, but no, if it's an
established.
This is where this rollercoaster lives, all year round.
It doesn't travel.
They don't break it down andrebuild it somewhere else.
I would go on that rollercoaster Six Flags or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Have you been to Disneyland or whatever itland?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
or whatever.
When we came to america, my momwas trying to figure out what's
our vibe and we tried disneyand we left in the middle.
It was horrible.
We thought it was.
This is the worst thing ever.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
This is just absolutely ridiculous and we
left his mom was trying tofigure out what their vibe was
no, no, we, we tried, we went tothe cast imagine you're in
america with these.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
You're like what do we do?
Like, let's.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
So one friend said, try Disney.
And the other friend said, tryyou know.
We went to the Catskills.
We left in the middle of theweekend.
My mom hated it.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
The Catskills, the Catskills.
So you left Disney in themiddle, came back there.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
You know, 30 years later or 25 years later, I came
back to perform there.
Um, so what did she decide?
Your vibe was skiing.
We were a ski family went to go.
We took, went to mount snow.
I was on the ski team with the.
The high school had a ski teamwhich skied hunter.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
We, um, you're saying hunter like it's chamonix no,
hunter is like upstate new york.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
You're skiing on ice.
It's ice up there anymore, it'sjust ice, it literally.
That could make you what if youskied the New York slopes and
stuff?
Here there's garbage.
When you get to a place likeVail, you're killing it because
you've skied on garbage Rightright On, like literally on dirt
, on black ice.
(26:56):
You've skied.
You have to make sure that youredges were sharp, so your
blades were sharp, so you candig in.
But yeah, that was our vibe, weskied, nothing else made sense.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I knew this was going to turn into a ski episode.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah, skiing is so hot, it's so hot.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Okay, the Hulk roller coaster.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
The Hulk roller coaster.
Maybe Ari would like that, butdon't take him, do you like?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
I mean, he is kind of body inspiration, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
That's what, like jacked, that's what.
That's why.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
I have to start taking some steroids.
Oh my God.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
And turn yourself green.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Yeah, I do it temporarily.
Look like that.
How green are we talking?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
People know what the Hulk is today.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah, of course, isn't there a new movie out?
Speaker 3 (27:46):
There's always a new movie out and it's played by
Mark Ruffalo.
That anti-Semite, oh he'santi-Semite, oh he's long.
He says questionable things onthe internet okay anti-Semite.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
I was just thinking about how much I'd be calling.
Mark Ruffalo you know what?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
it doesn't matter no, he kind of.
I mean they'll.
People will write in, they'lllet us know what they think.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
But why did he say that it was anti-Semitic?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I'll tell you.
I was just thinking about howmuch I liked it when you
bleached your hair.
Oh, I'm not allowed to anymore.
Why?
It makes me look psychotic andI don't think I need any help in
that department.
That's patently false.
It's very cute on you.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Don't read it.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Don't read it.
Don't read it.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
No, whatever, he had something that someone said okay
, yeah, oh, he apologized oh,that was in 1920 in 2021.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Okay, whatever I don't care um, you could.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I was just thinking if you bleach it, you could do
it green and that would be veryhulky, maybe for halloween
speaking of halloween, yes, andI'm just verbalizing this
because maybe and that would bevery healthy, maybe for
Halloween.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Speaking of Halloween and I'm just verbalizing this
because maybe there's someoneout there listening I want to
find a seamstress or a costumedesigner or someone who can help
me for this upcoming Halloween.
I'm already planning.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (29:04):
I have two options.
One is a very beautiful whiteElvis jumpsuit, like I want it
to be beautifully done.
I don't want it to look like aparty city elvis, I want it to
be custom made for me.
Or a spanish matador, yes hotyeah, but they both have to be
(29:26):
done with exquisite attention todetail.
Lots of beatings andrhinestones or whatever you have
to add to it to make it lookfancy.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
It has to be so good that after the Halloween we
frame it.
We frame it and hang it.
How cute.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
First of all, I could grow my hair out naturally
between now and then to be anElvis like updo.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
You could.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
And like a tight little white jumpsuit with the
bell bottom and the v-neck, thebig, I'll never look like austin
butler.
I'm okay with that, but we cantry.
Did you like austin butler andhis rendition of elvis?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I didn't, I don't care it was great.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
yeah, I know exactly what you're talking have you
seen the tiktok video of some.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
You know those annoying tiktokers who are on
the street and they like sticklittle microphones in people's
face Like what are you wearingtoday?
Yeah, how much do you pay inrent?
Yeah, one of them.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
I don't rent, I own.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yeah, I don't rent.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Do you want to come see?
Speaker 3 (30:23):
One of them went up, Baz Luhrmann the director.
Like legendary director,photographer, multi-hyphenate, I
started asking him like aboutmovies and they had no idea who
he was.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Like in the middle of the interview.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
He like moves her so that the sun is hitting them
better, and I was like see,always, always working.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
That, um, I didn't see that movie, but I didn't see
the.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Baz Luhrmann Elvis movie.
No, but he was amazing.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I mean, I saw a little bit like I know that he
did like an incredible yeah he'sstill stuck in that character
that can't undo it, he can't, hecan't get it out of him.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
His voice is like stuck, like that now no way yeah
, I don't think like actuallyphysically literally.
Think like actually physicallyliterally, but I think for him I
how do you do interviews now?
Normally everyone's like soenamored with his like deep
elvis voice, like he's like oh,I guess do I love elvis.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Like, why do you want to be elvis?
Because you like the outfit.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Like, oh, because it's like drag for straight
people.
Elvis was doing drag.
He was wearing makeup, littlebedazzled outfits, that hair,
those hips like Siegfried andRoy no, no, no, no the stuff.
The guy ruined Siegfried andRoy oh no, I love Siegfried and
Roy.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
No, Elvis is hot.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Elvis is hot.
Is Elvis hot?
He was hot at one point it wasnothing hotter than that.
But is that the image that youhave, or do you have like the?
Speaker 3 (31:54):
I always keep the hottest image.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yes, that's nice.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
That's Mashiach energy.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
That's Mashiach?
Yeah, I don't think about it.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
That's always my reference point or not, not true

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Oh, we all hit a peak .
No, but you, you can.
It's at one point you peekingin the different zones where you
are no, no, no, that's not trueat all talk to me about the
matador so the matador?
Speaker 3 (32:21):
what should I say about?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
it.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
I don't know if you've seen but we follow well
first of all, let me prefacethis ethically, I oppose matador
.
100 people fighting, that'scruel and unusual to the animals
dolphins and don't fight thebulls.
However, those looks are sick.
I want one.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
The matador looks are incredible.
They're very, very, very tight,they're sewn into the outfit
and they have all of their overzucker, their entire, their
entire manly manly equipment onone side and it's like wrapped
in like a pouch no, it's justlike the pants are so tight that
(33:01):
it's all on one side, you knowhow, like ballerinas, have those
special things to hold alltheir junk male ballerinas they
kind of it's kind of that goingon, but then up here is like
very intricate, like things tohold all their junk.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Yeah, male ballerinas , they kind of it's like kind of
that going on, but then up hereis like very intricate, like
different colors, like I likethe matador better.
First of all, it's in your dnaand I could get a prop, a sword
you could also get a bull Idon't want a bull, a cute one, a
baby bull, I don't know a realbull, no, I did see a really
cute cow on TikTok lately, likea mini, like a micro mini cow
(33:32):
you could just carry around forthe night Like some unhinged
idiot that has those dogs.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
It's an emotional support cow yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
And they're like this big.
But the thing is is like you'veseen Elvis, nobody's I haven't
seen like a sick matador, likethat's gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
But should it be a matador that like I'm a dead
matador, like the bull one, andlike I have like kind of chic
blood, Like it's not really?
Speaker 1 (33:58):
No Cause, when you go to whatever party you're going
to go to, then, okay, you getthere, you hit them with the
makeup thing of the blood andthen, like now, you have a whole
night to be in this stupidthing, and it's not, it's never
cute.

fault.

I'm like do you guys go out and dress?
Do you get dressed up forhalloween?
Speaker 3 (34:47):
this is the thing thing about Halloween and I've
said this before, this is kindof a soundbite of mine Halloween
and New Year's Eve are amateurhour holidays, meaning it's all
these people who don't normallygo out, don't normally party,
feel pressure or feel this needto cram a year's worth of fun
(35:08):
into two nights and it turns outbadly for everyone.
Everyone drinks too much ordoes too many things.
They try to be too many placesat the same time, too many
friend group dynamics.
People start fighting with eachother.
It's bad energy.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
So why are we planning your Halloween costume
in February?
Speaker 3 (35:30):

that's a fun holiday it's a very fun holiday.

Yes, and if you want to send tothe PO Box, you can seal it,
put it in an envelope and I willbring it with me to the grave
and drop it in there for you.
Oh, that's nice, yeah, so ifyou want to send me any note,
let me know if you want me toread it when I'm at the grave or
just put the envelope in thegrave itself.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
How much free time do you have?
Speaker 1 (42:17):
I go there whenever I visit my parents or something.
It's like 20 minutes for myparents.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
My husband does this.
Speaker 3 (42:24):
Yeah, the address for our PO box is listed in the
description of every episode.
Speaker 1 (42:29):
Yeah, so if you want to send anything for me to bring
to the grave of the LubavitcherRebbe, and what are some things
that people might want to write.
If they're not familiar, theywant to write that someone needs
refor shlem or someone needsfull healing, that someone's
trying to have a baby.
They should have more luck andthey should have more finances
better finance, looking for ahusband or a wife.
Speaker 3 (42:52):
Can I just not to cut you off?
Can I just draw a parallel here?
Because obviously you pray toGod for these things as well,
but now you're also asking theenergy and the spirit of the
Rebbe for help.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (43:05):
It's kind of like what the Catholics do with
saints.
Like every saint as adesignated thing like this is
the saint for lost objects.
Saint Anthony, we have that toowe have a saint the idea that
you can go through someoneelse's energy to help 100% we
(43:28):
have saints we don't call themsaints.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
We have rebbes and big and big, big tzaddikim that
we, we visit their grave did youhear me people?
Speaker 3 (43:38):
oh, no one gave enough credit for khilul hashem
the other day, by the way youget a lot of credit.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
You deserve and get a lot of credit first of all.
That's right.
I forgot when I lost my.
I lost my ring and then youtold me that I had to make a
donation to that you found yourring.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
There it is yeah, oh my gosh, that's like okay what
is that?
Speaker 2 (44:04):
what's that organization called?
It's like the oldestorganization in Israel.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
Mayor Balhanes.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (44:11):
I caught you.
We didn't discuss this, butwhen we were okay.
So we were leaving Florida.
We have like a 10 am flight.
We're staying in FortLauderdale.
It's not that far from theairport.
We're always early anyway, sowe have plenty of time.
We leave the hotel.
I'm in the Uber.
We're not saying a word to eachother because we just woke up
and we're just chilling.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
What time is it?
Speaker 3 (44:34):
It's a 10 am flight, so this had to be like 9 am,
like we're heading to theairport.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
You go to the airport at 9 for a 10 am flight.
Whatever it was, I'm justtrying to understand 11 o'clock
flight 9.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
It's early, it's just early.
We had time.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
As we're pulling up to the airport terminal, like
where you get dropped off, to gointo the check-in area, I go
like this with my wrist and I go, oh, I'm not wearing my watch.
And I look at Modi and I goModi, did you check the safe
(45:11):
before we left the hotel?
And he was like yeah.
I was like oh, no, no, I didn'tsay it.
My watch is in there.
And he goes are you sure?
I was like I think so.
And then I was like so I had tochange.
The Uber was like, gettingready to drop us off, I had to
change our destination address,go back to the hotel.
I had already checked out ofthe room, so god knows what was
(45:33):
happening up there.
And we're like you could justtake something out of the safe
and be like, oh, it wasn't there.
You know what I mean.
So I run up to the room.
It's in the safe.
But I saw you in the car rideback to the hotel.
You were.
Speaker 1 (45:44):
You were already filling out that little form
with the for the lost itemsexactly, I made a donation of
180 dollars, even though I knewthe watch was going to be there
to the mayor yes, wow, I'mpanicking.
Speaker 3 (45:57):
I'm like driver turn around.
We have to go all the way back.
Now it's like morning rush hourstarting, so I'm like well, we
still have so much time.
Speaker 1 (46:04):
That's how early we always blah, blah blah.
Speaker 3 (46:07):
I see him in the corner he's filling, filling out
something and I'm like he'sprobably donating money to that
lost items thing, lost items.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
To the lost and found .
Speaker 3 (46:15):
We never even talked about it until just now, but I
saw you doing that and maybe itworked.
Maybe that's why it was stillthere.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
Well, obviously it worked.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Jewish lost and found .
Jewish lost and found.
What is the prayer that you'resupposed to say that you guys
told me about?
Speaker 1 (46:34):
after you land, after you land, before you take off.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
No, that's.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
I never heard any prayer.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
Yes, you did.
You're the one who thenear-death experience.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
Yes, oh, bekat ha-gomel.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
Bekat ha-gomel.
Yeah, and you say that when youland.
Speaker 1 (46:50):
No, first of all, you don't say when you land, you
say it when you go to synagoguethat Saturday, when you get in
Aliyah or during the Torahreading, you say that prayer,
but we fly in first, so I don'tsay it.
If you fly in coach, you haveto say it.
If you fly in business, youdon't have to say this prayer.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
Well, I was flying in first and I I promised I would
say it when I got here.
Speaker 3 (47:13):
It's funny that you say that because statistically,
the safest place to survive anair crash is like the back, back
part of the plane whatever itis they usually say the plane's
going down, everybody's dying.
Everybody's dying oreverybody's surviving from the
plane crashes where people havesurvived.
They weren't in first class, ifyou come from a near-death
experience.
Speaker 1 (47:30):
That's the prayer you say, and anything, anything,
any near-death experience,surgery, any near-death
experience colonoscopy nah, butbut this is what, this is what.
Yeah, this is.
It's a near-death experience.
You say that, but if you fly inbusiness or first, you don't
have to say it yeah, you've beengiving a hexer by this is you
(47:54):
don't need to yeah a who modigave a uh stamp of a
certification that it's okay.
yeah, people, by the way, when Iquote things here, I I
appreciate you correcting me,but again, this is not this.
It doesn't matter.
I remembered it from here andfrom there and the Torah says it
was there and here we're justtrying to get good vibes out.
(48:15):
We're not trying to, we don'tcare if it's wrong.
Yeah, I mean, we don't want itto be wrong in a way that
misguides people, but not wronglike if it was in Deuteronomy
and I said that it was in.
Do you know if it was indeuteronomy and I said that it
was in genesis?
Speaker 2 (48:33):
don't get on my case, um and if they do get on your
case, you'll never see it anyway.
I don't want to see it.
Speaker 1 (48:38):
I don't care, you can't get on my case.
I don't care what you have,only the good stuff I read.
I read, only the good stuff.
I don't.
I don't care if you're crazy,tigers and suckers.

And we're back with and here'sModi, with Periel and Leo at the
studio.
Hello, hello, we are currentlyon the Pause for Laughter tour,
traveling all over the worldwith the show.
(00:26):
This hour and 15 minutes isamazing, and recently I was
going to go do a show andsomeone said they wanted
material from the old hour,which I'm just not doing now,
and then I realized I don't evenknow the material from the old
hour.
So I went on the treadmill andwatched Know your Audience, my
(00:51):
last special, which I literallyforgot all the jokes from
because I haven't been doing anyof them and I forgot how good
it was.
I forgot those of you who it'sbeen a while or need to see
something funny.
Go to Know your audience.
It's available now for free onyoutube and on amazon, but but,
uh, watch it, share it.
(01:12):
It's just a great, it's a greattime.
And uh, I, I can't believe Iforgot.
I forgot the jokes, like Iforgot the setups and uh and the
jokes themselves because I'vebeen so busy with this new hour.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I love the idea of somebody casually walking by you
at the gym and seeing youwatching your own special.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I bet every comic watches their some set or some
of themselves when they're on.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Were you cracking up.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
There were moments I was cracking up, I just forgot
how and I knew the joke wasgoing to come, but it was just
like it was just so, so crazy tocause.
I was doing that hour for two,for two, two, two, two years.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
And then now this one is just like a completely
sucked me into it.
I don't't think about any ofthose jokes, Um, but people ask
for that stuff and I'm just youknow, but it's a whole, it's a
whole new hour.
We just people would just cometo a show.
We watched that.
This is a whole new hour.
It's a whole new hour and 15minutes and it's amazing and
(02:18):
it's great, and that's it.
That was my original, my, my,my offshoot thought for the
podcast.
And on this tour, how often areyou guys on planes, would you
say.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
We're often on planes .
In 2024, we took 63 flights,wow.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
And none of them turned upside down.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Baruch Hashem, baruch Hashem, could you imagine being
on that plane?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I've been practicing ever since.
I been like with the seat belt.
How?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
do you release?
How do you do that?
Why would you want to release?
Well, once you have to release,to get off the plane, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
So, first of all, I fly, you know, often not nearly
as often as you guys fly, butI'm I get a little bit nervous.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I take valium, not like I don't love to fly, and I
take valium because I lovevalium, not because I don't like
flying he tastes the biscotticookies.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
That's what he takes from.
There's a cookie that yeah,what's it?
Called biscott.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Those little biscotti .
I know those little um.
Yeah, what's your airline?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
delta yeah, me too.
So I um, do you get nervouswhen there's turbulence?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
no, actually no no, not at all I was, I swear to god
.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I flew back from mexico late last night and I
there was turbulence and I justkept thinking about the two of
you to calm myself down no one,no, no plane has like ever
crashed because of turbulence,if that makes sense okay, but
none of this is like logic orreasonable right right, you're
(03:52):
just shaking.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You're just your wings are shaking those
wingspans on the plane have 20feet, they can.
They can go up and up and downyeah and it only goes the most
like it's three feet, three feet, so it's not a big deal.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
My seatbelt I am listening to that seatbelt sign
these days.
I am not going to be caughtwith my forehead in someone's
storage bin.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Oh my God.
Based on the news, Can you?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
imagine being on that flight.
I can't.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Could you imagine being offered like 5,000 miles
sky miles?
I on that flight.
I can't.
Could you imagine being offeredlike 5,000 miles sky miles?
I think that's what theyoffered everyone.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I think they gave them.
That's it.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
I think they gave them 5,000 sky miles, I'm pretty
sure someone gave me thatrecently because the screen on
my seat wasn't working.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Right, they have.
The flight attendants have thislittle little phone that's like
off the flight phone.
And they can just come over andgo.
I'm so sorry we didn't have it,but I can just add you know,
just give you 5,000 points orwhatever amount of points it is,
and it's like it just makes iteasier and you feel like you got
something.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Totally.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
And it prevents you from having to send an email.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
But the chutzpah of getting that.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I read that they were giving them like $30,000.
Oh, but maybe what you read isright.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I don't believe anything on the internet.
I might have just made that up.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
It doesn't matter Whatever, it doesn't matter,
it's our podcast.
It doesn't matter yeah.
And when we say things that arewrong, it's okay.
It doesn't matter it should be,it doesn't matter.
Do you think we did?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
it wrong.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Oh, and I sang some song the other day on the thing
I said one of the words wrongand everybody had what to say.
Everybody became a scholar.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Welcome to, and it Doesn't Matter with Modi, leo
and Ariel, because guess what?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Whose line is it?
Anyway, points are made up.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
You know what I bought at the airport.
I haven't decided who I'mgiving it to yet.
I bought a Donald Trumpchocolate bar.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Ew, I saw those.
We saw those at a gas station.
They're so funny.
It's funny, but it's great thathis fans love him.
It's insane.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I'm like I'm going to give this to somebody.
Somebody is going to be happyto get this.
It's so ridiculous.
Like who said we're makingTrump chocolate bar?
I mean, did you ever see achocolate bar with any other
president on it?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
No, but I'm up for it If he can sell merch sell it.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
They could have done Obama, but it would have been
milk chocolate.
You know what I mean.
Oh folks, let's would have beenmilk chocolate.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You know what I mean.
Oh folks, let's not get racyhere.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Is it really that racy?
It's not that racy.
Guess what, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
The world is on fire.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Planes are falling out of the ground.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
That's what people are getting worked up about.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Someone was telling me you know, everything's going
on now with this administrationis going to be like a TV show.
I go it is, it's on, it'salready on, it's already on.
You have to choose if you'rewatching this, this, these
episodes of this season ofcomplete mayhem in the White
House, but it's wild.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
And it's just so.
I'm not keeping up with any ofit, I'm not keeping up with it
If I have to see Elon Musk'sdumb face one more time on my
screen.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I'm more sick of him than Trump.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
honestly, For sure he's so annoying.
Hey, he's not even American.
Why is he allowed all thesecurity clearance?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I think, Not a fan.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
You know, Jackie Mason had an amazing line.
He said they should fire allthe senators.
This is the biggest countrymaking the most money.
We haven't shown a profit inyears, you know, because they
should put them on commissions.
That was like his lunch.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
That's called kickbacks and bribery.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
It's, it's it's, he's cleaning up.
We have friends and you havefriends too who go go to work
and do nothing.
They go, they sit at a job,it's mostly us.
No, you and I don't, but wedon't pretend no, when Leo goes
into work mode, it's it's.
All Emails are answered, thingsare taken care of and done.
(07:59):
He's not sitting at a desk or acubicle.
God forbid pretending to bebusy.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I tried that.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
It didn't go well, that's not a normal thing.
So there are people who donothing all day.
They're giving some assignmentthat takes them 15 minutes, but
they give them three weeks to doit.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Do you remember that time?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Do you remember when I did?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
that job while I was still also managing you, but I
was like I think I need a realjob too, just to, like, keep me
sane.
I remember that and I lastedwhat like three months no, not
even.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I don't remember so clearly it wasn't that long ago.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I remember the moment I realized because it was like
a corporate environment.
Everyone has these like made upjob titles you got like a cute
prada folder, I remember yeah,and I, I, the moment I realized
I felt like I was on the trumanshow, like the moment I realized
that no one was doing anythingand everyone was just like
sending, everyone was justsending tasks to each other back
(08:56):
around in a big circle ofnothing, that I was just like,
oh, so he wants to clean that up.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
He, he knows that there are people doing not, I
don't know.
I'm I'm watching from theheadlines and from all that.
I'm just saying he wants he'sobviously he's flamp, not
flamboyant, but he's um, he'sover the top and whatever and
he's talking about.
He talked about his securitydetail.
That day was pretty funny, butbut he, he knows that there are
(09:22):
people doing nothing at jobsthat they're being paid for.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
That might be true, but he's so culty.
That's the part that he's.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
You guys, are we talking about Musk or Trump?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I'm talking about Elon Musk.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I'm telling you right now Are we talking about Musk
or Trump?
I'm talking about Elon Musk.
I'm telling you right now andthe time I talked about it the
power is so much stronger thanmoney.
They are so high on power rightnow?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah, totally, elon's just high on ketamine.
Have you seen that interview?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
No, I saw the interview.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
He's needing to do ketamine and at the inauguration
he was like high.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
So I saw the same interview and he said that he's
done it a few times.
He does it once in a while.
He doesn't say he does it often.
He said it's been a long timesince he's done it.
Yeah, I don't believe any ofthat.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Yeah, I believe, because I'm the same way,
because I'm the same way.
He's high on ketamine, he's not, he's autistic, he also has
like a Toddward dangling off ofhis head.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, so it.
But because that's going tobring press, it's going to be
you guys.
They are so high on power.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
But if we can get stuff done, people don't like it
when we talk about this, soyeah, we should, but whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I hope they just, they don't, no, they don't and
they're going to say, is justfor Trump, is just to keep
getting the hostages out.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah.
That's all I have to say andlet me tell you something I
never do political humor andbecause of Musk and Donald Trump
, I've been getting some veryparved jokes.
Now, I'm not trying to hit anyside, but very good jokes.
I don't want to ruin it becausethey're in the special and that
they're in the act now, butit's like it's really good stuff
(11:07):
.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I've seen you do it at the cellar.
It's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, but there's more to that and it's just so.
That was it.
I forgot why we got on thistopic.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
We'll get off the topic just as quickly as we got
on.
I just got back from club med,oh that's right, you told me I
just went to club med for thefirst time in my life for a week
and I have a lot of uhconstructive feedback for the
organization.
But we can save that foranother time.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
You said you went in mexico we went yeah but there
are club meds all over the world, correct?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Oh yeah, they're still around.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Hands up.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Is it supposed to be nice or is it like a family
thing?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
So some of the I don't know what it's supposed to
be it looked, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
I saw from your stories little glimpses.
Here and there it looked likeyou were in a nice place.
It was nice, it's not like aluxury thing, like a, like a,
come on.
So there are.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
No, no, so there are certain club meds that are
gorgeous, luxury, pristine,incredible, like.
And then there are other ClubMeds that are, I think, less so
and it's a family thing, right,like you go with kids.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
There's activities for them and stuff, yes, and
it's amazing, it really it'sgreat.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I have whatever.
We don't need to get into itnow.

But we were talking.
One of my first comedy tapeswas at Club Med we were at.
My friend Dadani said let's doa gay weekend.
This is over 30 years ago.
I just began doing comedy and Ireally didn't have a good tape.
And there was the night wherethe people go up and do their

It was a gay weekend at Club.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Med, I would have been like I love that.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I would have loved that one.
And we were there and we metwith some, we, we, we, we went
and we met people.
We became friends.
It was like a nice thing.
And Besides the open mic nightshow, they had Michael Feinstein
the piano guy singer MichaelFeinstein, I think that's his
(16:08):
name.
He has a night at the CarlisleHotel.
He's a big deal.
And they also had Coco the dragqueen, coco Patrice Coco.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Coco Patrice.
No, miss Coco, miss Coco, yeah,I know her Something Coco, coco
, coco.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
No Miss Coco.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Miss Coco yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Something Coco, yeah, and it's really I should know
the name, but that was that.
And then I did the set and itwas taped and I got the tape and
that was a tape that I used asa tape I used to to get my spot
at at the comedy cellar.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
It was taped over there.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Do you still have that?
Yeah, we have to cut that intothis I think I had.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Oh my God I was.
So I had no act.
And then I asked for lights andbegan to speak to the people.
I was doing crowd work.
I was doing crowd work in thereand I was obviously I'd been
there for a week so I'd seenpeople and what they're doing,
and we all have experienced thesame food and the same beach and
the same pool and the sameeverything.
So it was easy to do it, but Iremember that was the first tape
(17:08):
I ever had.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
And who taped it for you?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Back then it was a big VHS tape.
You can buy it, Just like youbuy pictures of your family.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
You can still buy it.
They're still extorting you.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, I'm sure they are, but otherwise club meds.
The other ones I went to wereall ski club meds.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Right, so yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
And then all I remember is at night you go
there and they had that one songHands up, baby, hands up, give
me your heart, give me, give meyour heart, give me, give me
hands up, oh la la are you askier?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I used to be a huge skier, yeah really big time so
you would go to club med withwho like.
Why would you go?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
to my parents.
We were a ski family, we skied.
That was it.
And then I skied on my own andvacations I would go skiing, and
then now I just I feel it's toodangerous to be doing that.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
It is Do you ski?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I have skied.
Yeah, we were on a trip onetime and we went skiing together
.
I've skied like three times.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I feel like it's really worth the risk.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
It's now worth the risk.
I have got a low center ofgravity.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I love skiing and I was crazy.
I love skiing and I was crazy.
I was younger and I was like Iwould do the moguls flying in
the air.
I didn't care anything.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Now it's like it's not worth the risk.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
By the way, it was like I'm talking about this in
the show now, you know, with oldpeople and falling, yeah.
You know, should I be doingthis?
Should I be doing this?
Should I be doing this?
Speaker 2 (18:42):
The answer is no, because you will break something
.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
No, you can go slowly , you can go that, but okay.
But if you break something, areyou okay for a while.
No, not with skiing, Like I feellike it's really Someone who
has a corporate job and he sitsin a computer all day.
He breaks his leg during hisski vacation.
It's not going to affect him.
He's going to go sit there infront of his computer and look
at the Dow Jones.
Okay, someone who has to get onstage, walking on stage, does
(19:09):
not need to chance having abroken leg.
It's stand-up comedy, notroll-up-to-the-microphone comedy
.
So that's why I don't ski.
I think it's a wise decision.
Yeah, I think so too, althoughthe outfits are cute I was
killed, I killed I'm sure Ikilled and we also, when last
time we went skiing it wast-shirt weather so like, and you
(19:33):
know biceps everywhere and itwas really hot and we had cute
helmets and goggles andeverything it.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
It's cute, that's cute.
Although you know I'm a beachgirl, Put me in the water, I
don't want.
It's like so much stuff and youhave to schlep with the.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
The amount of schlepping for skiing and the
money is insane, it's insane, itdoesn't stop.
You know, you get the glovesand the lip balm and that balm
and this balm, and your facealways comes out all looking
crazy after the ski trip,whereas you can just grab a
bathing suit and go on a beachthat's right yeah, but it's um,
it's a high.
(20:08):
Skiing is a high when you'rewhen you're going down that
mountain, the day's perfect andthe snow's conditions are
amazing and it's a high, it's ahigh look, I don't know, I don't
need a 250 pair of gloves it'sthat.
And then there's the opera, theafter ski.
Yeah, you show up with theoutfit.
You gotta do a turtleneckmoment.
(20:29):
You know a nice little andyou're everyone's exhausted and
you're in some crazy altitudethat a sip of wine you're
already drunk, so it's uh yourfeet are like frostbitten.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
It's just not the boys like to do it.
I'm always like call me whenyou're done.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
No, no, I, I get it.
It's such a an amazing high,but it's I just right now.
We don't.
Right now.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
It's not a high I'm chasing yeah, I'd rather see you
on a yacht than I would ratheralways be on a yacht.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
yes, I would rather always be on a yacht.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
yes, sir, yes, I hope we're not keeping you awake,
I'm just letting you guys talkabout skiing.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Anyway, we're done talking about skiing.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
You complain when I cut you off too much, and then
when I let you get your wordsout, you look at me like Are
your words out?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I'm done, my words are out.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
that was my take on ski okay, do you want to read
some Modi moments questions?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I don't feel like there's any other good ones in
there you don't.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I feel like you had good ones there.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I thought I liked.
How did you pick up Yiddish?
I know you've touched on thatbefore, but that seemed.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
There were better questions you had there.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
What was it like growing up in the five towns on
Long Island?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
What was it like growing up in the five towns on
Long Island?
Much different than it is now.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Now it's Borough Park .
It's all religious.
When I was there it was verycute and very not religious and
it was just a completelydifferent vibe.
But it's not a question we needto harp on because it's already
bored, Leo.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Okay, what was it like where you grew up?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Where was it like?
Where I grew up?
Oh well, I grew up in PembrokePines, florida, in Broward
County, in South Florida, and Igave it a shout out.
At all of the Fort Lauderdaleshows I said, hey, I have a 954
error code number, like on mycell phones.
Everyone loved that.
I grew up in Florida, so it's anice place to be a kid or an
(22:37):
old person.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Because, as a kid, you're barefoot, you're outside
all year long, you're ridingbikes, you're in someone's pool,
you're at the beach.
There's a lot of that.
There's a lot.
You can go disney world all thetime did you oh yeah, we went
to this.
We went to disney, not disneyworld, it is the one, but the
one that's in orlando, becausethere's disney world and there's
disneyland and the disney fansget upset when you mix them up.
(23:00):
So I don't want to get canceled.
But, we had season passes,because it was only like a three
hour drive.
So like that, like we couldjust go up there and like spend
the day and then like drive backlate at night.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
And that was legal for your parents.
Let you do that.
It wasn't like scandalous.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
The Disney people, disneyney, I don't know I mean
we did watch veggie tales thewhole way up there, but, um, we
were allowed to do disney.
Harry potter was a differentstory.
We had to warm up to harrypotter because it was witchcraft
.
But oh my god I was eventuallyallowed to read harry potter,
(23:42):
but for a long time I couldn'tand I was very upset about it
and, like family members, had totalk to my parents and be like.
This is like a culturalphenomenon he's missing out on.
All his friends are reading it.
It's not rich, which theythought it was going to like
make turn me into like asatanist or something well, it
may have got worse, but it didturn me gay so.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
And you're married to a rabbi, so good luck.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
But I have never taken Ari to Disneyland or World
or whatever.
I think he's too old at thispoint.
I think yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
We tried it once.
He's 11.
11.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
11 is.
I was just like you can go toSt Bart or you can go to
Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Oh, he's fine.
But if you had to and likesomehow, maybe Guy had some work
thing going on in Orlando orthere was a reason for you to be
there.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Is it cute?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Take him to like Islands of Adventure, like the
roller coasters and stuff, notlike Disney, disney's for like
little kids.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I don't want to go on a roller coaster.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
I'm sure Ari does.
I'll take him.
I love a roller coaster you doyeah.
The Hulk roller coaster andIslands of Adventure in Orlando.
Florida is my sh.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
He never ceases to amaze me With the roller coaster
.
What's so surprising?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Yeah, what the hell?
Absolutely.
Let me be very clear.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Let me be very clear.
Me be very clear a rollercoaster at a light, at a
legitimate theme park I'm notgoing on anything that's like at
a county fair right or like acarnival type thing.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
No, no, no, no, no, but an established roller
coaster yeah, do we have faithin the people that are
maintaining these?
I think so.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Everyone looks like Dave Attell, but no, if it's an
established.
This is where this rollercoaster lives, all year round.
It doesn't travel.
They don't break it down andrebuild it somewhere else.
I would go on that rollercoaster Six Flags or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Have you been to Disneyland or whatever itland?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
or whatever.
When we came to america, my momwas trying to figure out what's
our vibe and we tried disneyand we left in the middle.
It was horrible.
We thought it was.
This is the worst thing ever.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
This is just absolutely ridiculous and we
left his mom was trying tofigure out what their vibe was
no, no, we, we tried, we went tothe cast imagine you're in
america with these.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
You're like what do we do?
Like, let's.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
So one friend said, try Disney.
And the other friend said, tryyou know.
We went to the Catskills.
We left in the middle of theweekend.
My mom hated it.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
The Catskills, the Catskills.
So you left Disney in themiddle, came back there.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
You know, 30 years later or 25 years later, I came
back to perform there.
Um, so what did she decide?
Your vibe was skiing.
We were a ski family went to go.
We took, went to mount snow.
I was on the ski team with the.
The high school had a ski teamwhich skied hunter.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
We, um, you're saying hunter like it's chamonix no,
hunter is like upstate new york.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
You're skiing on ice.
It's ice up there anymore, it'sjust ice, it literally.
That could make you what if youskied the New York slopes and
stuff?
Here there's garbage.
When you get to a place likeVail, you're killing it because
you've skied on garbage Rightright On, like literally on dirt
, on black ice.
(26:56):
You've skied.
You have to make sure that youredges were sharp, so your
blades were sharp, so you candig in.
But yeah, that was our vibe, weskied, nothing else made sense.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I knew this was going to turn into a ski episode.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah, skiing is so hot, it's so hot.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Okay, the Hulk roller coaster.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
The Hulk roller coaster.
Maybe Ari would like that, butdon't take him, do you like?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
I mean, he is kind of body inspiration, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
That's what, like jacked, that's what.
That's why.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
I have to start taking some steroids.
Oh my God.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
And turn yourself green.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Yeah, I do it temporarily.
Look like that.
How green are we talking?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
People know what the Hulk is today.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah, of course, isn't there a new movie out?
Speaker 3 (27:46):
There's always a new movie out and it's played by
Mark Ruffalo.
That anti-Semite, oh he'santi-Semite, oh he's long.
He says questionable things onthe internet okay anti-Semite.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
I was just thinking about how much I'd be calling.
Mark Ruffalo you know what?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
it doesn't matter no, he kind of.
I mean they'll.
People will write in, they'lllet us know what they think.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
But why did he say that it was anti-Semitic?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I'll tell you.
I was just thinking about howmuch I liked it when you
bleached your hair.
Oh, I'm not allowed to anymore.
Why?
It makes me look psychotic andI don't think I need any help in
that department.
That's patently false.
It's very cute on you.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Don't read it.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Don't read it.
Don't read it.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
No, whatever, he had something that someone said okay
, yeah, oh, he apologized oh,that was in 1920 in 2021.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Okay, whatever I don't care um, you could.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I was just thinking if you bleach it, you could do
it green and that would be veryhulky, maybe for halloween
speaking of halloween, yes, andI'm just verbalizing this
because maybe and that would bevery healthy, maybe for
Halloween.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Speaking of Halloween and I'm just verbalizing this
because maybe there's someoneout there listening I want to
find a seamstress or a costumedesigner or someone who can help
me for this upcoming Halloween.
I'm already planning.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (29:04):
I have two options.
One is a very beautiful whiteElvis jumpsuit, like I want it
to be beautifully done.
I don't want it to look like aparty city elvis, I want it to
be custom made for me.
Or a spanish matador, yes hotyeah, but they both have to be
(29:26):
done with exquisite attention todetail.
Lots of beatings andrhinestones or whatever you have
to add to it to make it lookfancy.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
It has to be so good that after the Halloween we
frame it.
We frame it and hang it.
How cute.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
First of all, I could grow my hair out naturally
between now and then to be anElvis like updo.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
You could.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
And like a tight little white jumpsuit with the
bell bottom and the v-neck, thebig, I'll never look like austin
butler.
I'm okay with that, but we cantry.
Did you like austin butler andhis rendition of elvis?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I didn't, I don't care it was great.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
yeah, I know exactly what you're talking have you
seen the tiktok video of some.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
You know those annoying tiktokers who are on
the street and they like sticklittle microphones in people's
face Like what are you wearingtoday?
Yeah, how much do you pay inrent?
Yeah, one of them.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
I don't rent, I own.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yeah, I don't rent.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Do you want to come see?
Speaker 3 (30:23):
One of them went up, Baz Luhrmann the director.
Like legendary director,photographer, multi-hyphenate, I
started asking him like aboutmovies and they had no idea who
he was.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Like in the middle of the interview.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
He like moves her so that the sun is hitting them
better, and I was like see,always, always working.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
That, um, I didn't see that movie, but I didn't see
the.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Baz Luhrmann Elvis movie.
No, but he was amazing.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I mean, I saw a little bit like I know that he
did like an incredible yeah he'sstill stuck in that character
that can't undo it, he can't, hecan't get it out of him.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
His voice is like stuck, like that now no way yeah
, I don't think like actuallyphysically literally.
Think like actually physicallyliterally, but I think for him I
how do you do interviews now?
Normally everyone's like soenamored with his like deep
elvis voice, like he's like oh,I guess do I love elvis.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Like, why do you want to be elvis?
Because you like the outfit.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Like, oh, because it's like drag for straight
people.
Elvis was doing drag.
He was wearing makeup, littlebedazzled outfits, that hair,
those hips like Siegfried andRoy no, no, no, no the stuff.
The guy ruined Siegfried andRoy oh no, I love Siegfried and
Roy.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
No, Elvis is hot.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Elvis is hot.
Is Elvis hot?
He was hot at one point it wasnothing hotter than that.
But is that the image that youhave, or do you have like the?
Speaker 3 (31:54):
I always keep the hottest image.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yes, that's nice.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
That's Mashiach energy.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
That's Mashiach?
Yeah, I don't think about it.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
That's always my reference point or not, not true
, not true.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Oh, we all hit a peak .
No, but you, you can.
It's at one point you peekingin the different zones where you
are no, no, no, that's not trueat all talk to me about the
matador so the matador?
Speaker 3 (32:21):
what should I say about?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
it.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
I don't know if you've seen but we follow well
first of all, let me prefacethis ethically, I oppose matador
.
100 people fighting, that'scruel and unusual to the animals
dolphins and don't fight thebulls.
However, those looks are sick.
I want one.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
The matador looks are incredible.
They're very, very, very tight,they're sewn into the outfit
and they have all of their overzucker, their entire, their
entire manly manly equipment onone side and it's like wrapped
in like a pouch no, it's justlike the pants are so tight that
(33:01):
it's all on one side, you knowhow, like ballerinas, have those
special things to hold alltheir junk male ballerinas they
kind of it's kind of that goingon, but then up here is like
very intricate, like things tohold all their junk.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Yeah, male ballerinas , they kind of it's like kind of
that going on, but then up hereis like very intricate, like

Speaker 3 (34:47):
this is the thing thing about Halloween and I've
said this before, this is kindof a soundbite of mine Halloween
and New Year's Eve are amateurhour holidays, meaning it's all
these people who don't normallygo out, don't normally party,
feel pressure or feel this needto cram a year's worth of fun
(35:08):
into two nights and it turns outbadly for everyone.
Everyone drinks too much ordoes too many things.
They try to be too many placesat the same time, too many
friend group dynamics.
People start fighting with eachother.
It's bad energy.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
So why are we planning your Halloween costume
in February?
Speaker 3 (35:30):

that's a fun holiday it's a very fun holiday.

Okay.
So when you write the way Iwrite, I have to write it on a
piece of paper somewhere elsefirst, and there's only certain

Speaker 3 (40:46):
Maybe I should post this episode first so people
have time to listen before Puriminstead of the one we just did.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Maybe it's a mitzvah.
It's a mitzvah, it's fun, it'sgood and you're supposed to,
when you give it, give it tosomebody else to gift us.
Did you know about that?
Speaker 2 (40:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
So when you give your gift to somebody, give it to
somebody else oh you're justsupposed to keep regifting it.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
It's kind of a regift .
It's the OG regift.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
Yeah, but it's the way they have.
If you give me one, I'm keepingit and I'm going to eat it.
Yeah, just letting you know.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
It's always the worst when you're dieting and all of
a sudden the doorbell rings andthis insane Mishloch everything
you love in the world, and someof them are so big like there's
definitely something in therethat you love, and they send you
jam and they send you this, andthere's things that stick
around for the whole year andit's such a great.
(41:37):
And if anybody wants to send us, we have a PO box.
Yeah, we have a PO box.
By the way, for the PO box, doyou know that I visit the grave
of the Lubavitcher Rebbe often?
Speaker 2 (41:50):
The one in Queens.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
The one in Queens?
Yes, and if you want to send tothe PO Box, you can seal it,
put it in an envelope and I willbring it with me to the grave
and drop it in there for you.
Oh, that's nice, yeah, so ifyou want to send me any note,
let me know if you want me toread it when I'm at the grave or
just put the envelope in thegrave itself.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
How much free time do you have?
Speaker 1 (42:17):
I go there whenever I visit my parents or something.
It's like 20 minutes for myparents.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
My husband does this.
Speaker 3 (42:24):
Yeah, the address for our PO box is listed in the
description of every episode.
Speaker 1 (42:29):
Yeah, so if you want to send anything for me to bring
to the grave of the LubavitcherRebbe, and what are some things
that people might want to write.
If they're not familiar, theywant to write that someone needs
refor shlem or someone needsfull healing, that someone's
trying to have a baby.
They should have more luck andthey should have more finances
better finance, looking for ahusband or a wife.
Speaker 3 (42:52):
Can I just not to cut you off?
Can I just draw a parallel here?
Because obviously you pray toGod for these things as well,
but now you're also asking theenergy and the spirit of the
Rebbe for help.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (43:05):
It's kind of like what the Catholics do with
saints.
Like every saint as adesignated thing like this is
the saint for lost objects.
Saint Anthony, we have that toowe have a saint the idea that
you can go through someoneelse's energy to help 100% we
(43:28):
have saints we don't call themsaints.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
We have rebbes and big and big, big tzaddikim that
we, we visit their grave did youhear me people?
Speaker 3 (43:38):
oh, no one gave enough credit for khilul hashem
the other day, by the way youget a lot of credit.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
You deserve and get a lot of credit first of all.
That's right.
I forgot when I lost my.
I lost my ring and then youtold me that I had to make a
donation to that you found yourring.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
There it is yeah, oh my gosh, that's like okay what
is that?
Speaker 2 (44:04):
what's that organization called?
It's like the oldestorganization in Israel.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
Mayor Balhanes.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (44:11):
I caught you.
We didn't discuss this, butwhen we were okay.
So we were leaving Florida.
We have like a 10 am flight.
We're staying in FortLauderdale.
It's not that far from theairport.
We're always early anyway, sowe have plenty of time.
We leave the hotel.
I'm in the Uber.
We're not saying a word to eachother because we just woke up
and we're just chilling.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
What time is it?
Speaker 3 (44:34):
It's a 10 am flight, so this had to be like 9 am,
like we're heading to theairport.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
You go to the airport at 9 for a 10 am flight.
Whatever it was, I'm justtrying to understand 11 o'clock
flight 9.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
It's early, it's just early.
We had time.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
As we're pulling up to the airport terminal, like
where you get dropped off, to gointo the check-in area, I go
like this with my wrist and I go, oh, I'm not wearing my watch.
And I look at Modi and I goModi, did you check the safe
(45:11):
before we left the hotel?
And he was like yeah.
I was like oh, no, no, I didn'tsay it.
My watch is in there.
And he goes are you sure?
I was like I think so.
And then I was like so I had tochange.
The Uber was like, gettingready to drop us off, I had to
change our destination address,go back to the hotel.
I had already checked out ofthe room, so god knows what was
(45:33):
happening up there.
And we're like you could justtake something out of the safe
and be like, oh, it wasn't there.
You know what I mean.
So I run up to the room.
It's in the safe.
But I saw you in the car rideback to the hotel.
You were.
Speaker 1 (45:44):
You were already filling out that little form
with the for the lost itemsexactly, I made a donation of
180 dollars, even though I knewthe watch was going to be there
to the mayor yes, wow, I'mpanicking.
Speaker 3 (45:57):
I'm like driver turn around.
We have to go all the way back.
Now it's like morning rush hourstarting, so I'm like well, we
still have so much time.
Speaker 1 (46:04):
That's how early we always blah, blah blah.
Speaker 3 (46:07):
I see him in the corner he's filling, filling out
something and I'm like he'sprobably donating money to that
lost items thing, lost items.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
To the lost and found .
Speaker 3 (46:15):
We never even talked about it until just now, but I
saw you doing that and maybe itworked.
Maybe that's why it was stillthere.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
Well, obviously it worked.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Jewish lost and found .
Jewish lost and found.
What is the prayer that you'resupposed to say that you guys
told me about?
Speaker 1 (46:34):
after you land, after you land, before you take off.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
No, that's.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
I never heard any prayer.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
Yes, you did.
You're the one who thenear-death experience.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
Yes, oh, bekat ha-gomel.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
Bekat ha-gomel.
Yeah, and you say that when youland.
Speaker 1 (46:50):
No, first of all, you don't say when you land, you
say it when you go to synagoguethat Saturday, when you get in
Aliyah or during the Torahreading, you say that prayer,
but we fly in first, so I don'tsay it.
If you fly in coach, you haveto say it.
If you fly in business, youdon't have to say this prayer.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
Well, I was flying in first and I I promised I would
say it when I got here.
Speaker 3 (47:13):
It's funny that you say that because statistically,
the safest place to survive anair crash is like the back, back
part of the plane whatever itis they usually say the plane's
going down, everybody's dying.
Everybody's dying oreverybody's surviving from the
plane crashes where people havesurvived.
They weren't in first class, ifyou come from a near-death
experience.
Speaker 1 (47:30):
That's the prayer you say, and anything, anything,
any near-death experience,surgery, any near-death
experience colonoscopy nah, butbut this is what, this is what.
Yeah, this is.
It's a near-death experience.
You say that, but if you fly inbusiness or first, you don't
have to say it yeah, you've beengiving a hexer by this is you
(47:54):
don't need to yeah a who modigave a uh stamp of a
certification that it's okay.
yeah, people, by the way, when Iquote things here, I I
appreciate you correcting me,but again, this is not this.
It doesn't matter.
I remembered it from here andfrom there and the Torah says it
was there and here we're justtrying to get good vibes out.
(48:15):
We're not trying to, we don'tcare if it's wrong.
Yeah, I mean, we don't want itto be wrong in a way that
misguides people, but not wronglike if it was in Deuteronomy
and I said that it was in.
Do you know if it was indeuteronomy and I said that it
was in genesis?
Speaker 2 (48:33):
don't get on my case, um and if they do get on your
case, you'll never see it anyway.
I don't want to see it.
Speaker 1 (48:38):
