four people the engineer.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
He was so beautiful and I said to her brianna,
you're just so pretty and yourmakeup is so good.
And for one moment I'm like isit okay to say that?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
well, because you think you're going to get
canceled.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, it's like he said something about my makeup,
but then you said you can saythat because you're gay.
I think I can also say thatbecause I'm over a certain age.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I disagree with you Over a certain age you can say
sweetheart, darling Sweetheart.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Yeah, that's so.
I don't think they women don'tlike that, and I just think in
general of commenting on women'sappearance, good or bad, is
just like you don't need to, youknow, like find something else
to say oh, why would you notgive her a compliment?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
why would you not?
Speaker 2 (01:36):

if you're meeting them for likethe first time, like you just
met them and learned their nameand like, oh, you're so pretty,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I try not to that's because your generation, but our
generation, my generation waslike hey, you look amazing, you
look great, good for you andmaybe we need to go back to that
.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I think we have to go back you already know my theory
that why dating is so righthard for the straight people is
because the men have been scared.
Now you're a better word justthey were neutered by the me too
movement.

Right because the me too movement.

regarding a documentary about acatskill comedian named bernie
burns who's 97 years old kanainaharaai Nahara and he is still
(11:24):
alive and he's not working, buthe was a Catskill comedian in
the 50s and 60s.
Wow, I didn't get to theCatskills until the 90s.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I didn't get here until the 90s in general Right
To the planet.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Anyway, so we, you said something cute.
You're going to see if someonesays something.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I'm just saying you two are amazing, modi.
My husband saw your show inColumbus.
We were laughing nonstop.
Good job, biz Mitchell.
Hi, sorry, so you did thisinterview about Bernie Burns, an
old Catskill comedian.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Right.
So I've been thinking and I'vebeen functioning under the
premise and it's in the act thatI am the last of the Catskill
comedians that's still alive.
Okay, because he worked theCatskills.
I worked the Catskills.
I bought my first apartmentwith money I made from the
Catskills.
I worked the Catskills.
He is still alive.
(12:21):
He's not a working comedian now, but he's still alive.
So I can't say that I'm thelast living catskill comedian.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Can you say working comedian?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
yeah, last working comedian from the.
Yeah, but it sounds I think I'mgonna still stay with last.
Yeah, he's not gonna follow up.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
He's not gonna follow I think people get it like the
vibe that I think also, like youknow, stand-up is dramatized.
It's's not your autobiographyword for word, so it's a
performance.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I can't get over your hair right now.
Thank, you, I'm just hitting itso unbelievably well.
Thank you, baruch Hashem foryou.
Okay, we had a Moshiach Energymoment in our apartment building
.
What Everybody always said it'sbetter to give than receive.
(13:12):
Oh my god, the the people.
When you give, you feel abetter energy when you receive.
It's a hundred percent true,and leo got to experience this.
Yeah, first hand in ourbuilding.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Do tell us, oh my god , it's so silly, it's so great,
it's so silly.
Well, there's these things.
I don't know if you've, I don'tknow if people are familiar
with the labubus.
They're these stupid littledolls that you attach to your
backpack or your purse andthey've, like exploded in
popularity and the kids lovethem.
Women are putting them, like ontheir birkin bags.
(13:42):
Um, they're just trending andthey're these stupid little.
They're kind of ugly, kind ofcute, like so ugly that they're
cute little plushy dolls.
They're a little bit about thisbig and the company Popmart,
but these things have made theirinventor a billionaire.
He's like one of the richestmen in China now and they do
these drops online and you haveto be online and you have to be
(14:02):
on the app and you have to beonline and you have to be on the
app and you have to get it andit's like so hard to get, it's
like impossible.
Um, so now there's like a wholeblack market of them if you can
get them from other people andlike they're just hard to find
and, um, I have been blessedwith several labubus.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
I have acquired.
You have a connection?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
yeah, um, and I like to give them to people because I
think it's a funny sort of gaggift and I had brought some to
Connecticut to give to ourfriends.
I put them in the guest roomsbecause I thought it would be
funny if it was on their bedwhen they got there.
And they love them, by the way.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
So then we were just in Connecticut.
We came back and when I wasthere I realized I had an
unopened labubu there back.
And when I was there I realizedI had an unopened labubu there.

So leo's standing in front of the recycle bin where
you put the cardboard and she'swatching him and she's watching
me unbox this labubu, becausethey're in a blind box so you
don't know which one you'regonna get.
So they're all boxed and thenit's in a bag.

through all these layers and Ifinally take the labubu out and

What else is on my list?
Okay, we watched the Billy Joeldocumentary.
When we say we, well I.
(18:39):
Okay, it was 18 parts.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
It's funny because you're the one who's always like
I have ADD, I can't focus.
Blah, blah, blah.
But when we're in our house andwe're trying to watch a movie
or something, I'm doing lapsaround the house and you're
watching and I can't sit.
Still, I'm listening, I'mlistening to it and I'm keeping
along, but I'm just futzing.
I'm in the kitchen, I'm foldingclothes, like I can't sit and
(19:06):
watch something for that long soI I can only if I'm watching
something I'm I'm totallyfocused on it.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I don't want to miss a line no, I'm not missing a
line.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I just don't have to sit and watch, I don't know.
But yeah, the billy joeldocumentary I was watching, I
was listening to it, you werewatching it.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yes, I want to tell you something.
You know I always talk abouthow god put gifts on earth and
the people are a vessel.
So billy joel was a vessel fora gift that god put on earth his
songs, his music, his voice,it's.
It's a gift that came.
And then you get to meet the onthe documentary, you get to
meet the vessel, you get to meethim and how he talks and he has
(19:45):
a Long Island accent.
You know, and you said I do too, but I don't think I do.
But of course not.
He has a very strong LongIsland accent.
He came from from Hicksville,such a funny name it's such a
funny name, what a horrible namefor any place they should
really rebrand that.
Oh god, it's horrible.
Everything out there,hicksville's horrible and then
amityville.
From the amityville horror showfor a rebrand and yeah, it's
(20:07):
also good for a rebrand, but,but um, it's an amazing story.
No, it's just such a.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
It's wow, yeah, and then the whole thing with the
manager.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah, yeah, but scary but then it's scary that he had
all this money problems.
But I felt all the moneyproblems led him to the next
thing all those shows he did inif he had had all this money
problems.
But I feel like all the moneyproblems led him to the next
thing All those shows he did.
If he had had all the money, ifhe never made a financial
mistake from the beginning, hewouldn't have had to do all
those shows at Radio City MusicHall.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
What am I saying, msg ?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
At MSG at Madison Square Garden.
But he did what 100 shows Likehe broke a record.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
He broke some crazy record.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And we went.
Dina bought us tickets to that.
We did.
We saw it live.
It was.
It's mind-blowing.
It's mind-blowing that there'sone man that they're all coming
to see and they all know hismusic and they all and I'm
looking out like across from usis a section which is probably
500 people which is a theater.
Across from us is a sectionwhich is probably 500 people
which is a theater.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Oh yeah, that's what we were doing.
We were looking across MSG andwe were like that's about the
venue we're doing next week,Just that chunk and then it's
multiplied by, like by billions,a whole bunch.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Oh, it was so, and just like it, really you can
tell that God put his gift outand said okay, this needs to be
more shows, you have more you,you have these shows in you and
we're going to get them out ofyou.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
So this is it was his uh fuel to keep going and
solidify.
You're saying he maybe wouldn'thave been such a prolific
legendary singer if he had madehis money, did some hits and was
like okay showing you enough,showing exactly, but he but god
was like no, you're gonna havesome money problems and you're
gonna to have to keep grinding.
And then, look, he broke allthat records at Madison Square.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Garden.
Yeah, and makes people feelgood, and makes people feel bad.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
You always have a positive spin on the situation.
Yes, you're always looking forthat.
Well, you know, if you didn'tdo that, I that's.
Yeah, I struggle with that.
No, but you got oh, it's somuch easier to have a positive
spin.
It's just easier.
I'm not saying it's not, I'mjust saying our brains work
differently.

Um, that was a covety thingyeah, that's for like the deep
fans.
The deep fans know about near.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah yeah, okay, I want to talk about this is.
I mean, I don't know if I haveyour approval to discuss this,
but let's go recently, goRecently.
The prime minister of Israelwas on Fox News talking about
what he's doing and what he'sgoing to do, and all of that.
He was interviewed on Fox Newsand behind him was a set of
(23:40):
books.
You know, you kind of like haveto choose what's behind you in
those.
You know it's an interview tobe dressed up your makeup, it's
a real thing.
And then there's like the booksbehind you wherever you are, or
a picture behind you.
Yeah, and behind him was a setof the Zohar, which is the,
which is the mystical teachingsof the Torah.
(24:08):
So the Torah is cut up intoparashat, into sections.
You know Genesis, noach, chai,sarah, all of these, and then
this is the commentary on that,but in the spiritual commentary
(24:31):
on that, but in the spiritualcommentary, and within that is
literally the the solution forworld peace, for human dignity,
for love thy neighbor.
All of that is like amplifiedit's that's, it's the, it's the,
it's the, it's the instructionmanual for world peace.
I don't know what he's planningon doing and what he's doing
and what's going to happen, butI just know that that's there
behind.
I don't know if he chose it orhis.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Are you saying it's an ironic juxtaposition or it's
a foretelling of what's to come?
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Going for positive God willing.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I think it's an ironic juxtaposition.
I think it's an ironicjuxtaposition.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
I hope it's a foretelling that whatever is in
those books, those holy books,will be used to create world
peace and human dignity and loveand obviously a messianic era.
I'm putting that out there.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
It's a set of Zohar.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
It's not like the Bible or the laws of Jewish
courts, or it's the laws of theJewish government, it's the
Zohar.
It's such a strong statement toput that behind you when you're
talking about anything, whenyou're doing an interview, to
have that behind you aboutanything, when you're doing an
interview, to have that behindyou.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Yeah, but there's so many people around him who may
have just staged that and hejust waltzed in.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
BB is art directing the background of his Fox News
interview.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
So maybe he is, maybe he isn't.
I want to find out.
We're actually meeting withsomebody who's very close to him
soon.
So, we're going to ask, but Iwould love to hear everybody's
opinion on what you think aboutbb having the zohar behind him
when he made the fox interview.
That's it.
That's just that was.
(26:15):
I'm putting that out there okaywe're good, yeah, next, next,
yeah, okay, moving that rightalong.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
So you told me that people, when it comes to me and
you are very voyeuristic, yeah,I want to Mm-hmm, yeah, I think.
Well, I think a lot of peopledon't know that we've been
together so long, yes, likewe've been together so long, yes
, like we've been together 10years now, and that when I met
you I didn't know who you wereor that you were a comedian.
I don't think people know that.
I think that we just met and Iwas like, oh, look at this funny
(26:55):
guy, he's a comedian.
And like then I was just, Idon't know.
I think there's a misconception, all right, and like.
People sometimes place me in acertain category.
That is not accurate.
Not that I care, but like Ifeel it.
I can see it like when peoplerealize who I am and then I can
(27:15):
see them sort of like placing me.
But there is a voyeuristicaspect of like us and you and
like we're kind of like anout-of-the-box couple with like
the age difference and thereligion difference, and like we
work together but he's this andthey're that and he puts on
fill-in but he's gay and he hasa husband.
It's like people don't know howto digest it and some people it
(27:36):
turns them off.
But I feel like some people arelike just intrigued and that's
like what I'm saying like thissort of like voyeuristic aspect
which we're monetizing, becauselook at what we're doing, we're
doing a podcast together, ahundred percent.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
When we first met, our go-to mantra of how to have
a relationship was hydrate,moisturize and be nice.
But those are symbolic, notliteral.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
No those are literal, it's literal but also Hydrate,
moisturize and be nice.
But those are symbolic, notliteral.
No, those are literal.
It's literal, but also.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Hydrate, moisturize and be nice yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Literally Hydrate means like Hydrate, literally
Drink water but also like makesure your partner is hydrated
and taken care of Right, andlike fed and is comfortable
Right Moisturize.
Moisturize is just kind of likeself-care.
Self-care yes, like you have toalso take care of yourself.
Fix your own mask before fixingother people's mask.
(28:30):
Yes, and be nice to each other.
That covers everything else.
Yes, and be nice to each other.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
That covers everything else, right?
So those are the three,absolutely.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
It's just 100%.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Those were the three commandments and we've added
then monetize.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Monetize Period, monetize which I've done.
You've killed it.
So you say people always asklike did you know who I was when
you met me?
So I always say I wasn't who Iwas when you met me.
So I always say I wasn't who Iam when you met me.
You made me who I am.
When I met Leo, I had 7,000followers.
(29:07):
I was doing private gigs.
It was like you blew it intothe next level.
You know you over COVID, thegift that we had, covid was a
gift for us, a time to regroupand re.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Let's be delicate.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Yeah, a lot of people died, okay but, but, but we,
for us, it was a moment ofpositivity, it was a pivotal
moment.
It's a pivotal moment and then,you know, everything just moved
along with that too.
So so on, the voyeuristic umvibe of people wanting to find
out about us, okay, I want, Iwant to ask so.
(29:42):
So to me it's, it's very muchlike it all.
It's summed up when, when, whenwe're walking in the street and
someone comes to me and goesyou're modi, you're, you're modi
.
And then attorney goes andyou're his gay husband, as if,
like, I'm not gay, but like Ihappen to have been married to a
gay man, so now that makes megay by association, which is
(30:06):
like very funny.
It's like it really explains itall.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
They compartmentalize you in like a very strange way,
right?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Like here's this guy who puts on tefillin and goes to
synagogue and he davens komnidre and he speaks in Yiddish
and everything is Mashiachenergy.
And he's married to a man who'snot Jewish and who's running
the Jewish comedy world.
You know, so it's great, Okay.
So on the voyeuristic thing Iwant, here's a question that I
(30:38):
want you to answer.
These are not you don't knowthese questions.
I'm going in blind, You'regoing in blind, yeah, yeah yeah,
Okay, Where's that question?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I really like it.
Well, while you find that Evesays about BB, don't
underestimate.
Always looking for light andbetter ways.
We should all think and listenmore with our hearts and not our
eyes.
Love you both.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Thank you, Eve.
Thank you, Eve.
That's exactly what I'm talkingabout.
That's the energy we want.
What was the first thing younoticed about me that wasn't
physical?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Well, we met on the subway.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Right physical.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
The well we met on the subway right.
Um, it's hard, because thefirst thing I noticed was you
smiled at me, but you smiled atme as if we had met before, like
we knew each other already, andthen you did this kind of like
motion with your head.
That was like kind of silly, um, but that wasn't physical um,
(31:42):
so I'll tell you what mine wasfor you.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Okay, you were clever .
I go, oh, this, this, thiskid's clever.
This kid's clever what?
Because we, well, you moved inthree days after we, three dates
after we met, and you wereworking at cia, and you would
come home and tell me all thestories of what happened there
and I, I put together that he'sclever, he's smart, clever, he's
(32:09):
the word clever, clever, you'reso clever well then, obviously
yours is funny, but like, that'sa lazy answer.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
First thing I noticed about you it's not physical.
I guess when I went to yourapartment for the first time, it
was clean and I was really intothat.
Oh, okay, I was like, oh, thankGod.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
My apartment was so cute when you, when you?
Speaker 2 (32:36):
well, because you also like weren't you were busy
working, and like it was justyou, and like like, so I guess
there wasn't much, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Maybe my apartment when we first met was a one
bedroom.
I owned the apartment next toit but didn't break I didn't
know that right so it was, andum I had help designing it from
miles yeah, it was nice.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
It was nice and clean .
It was like a put together,here's like a got.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Like you know, it was welcoming and nice and like I
liked being there so that thatthat apartment was the wallpaper
and the doors and like kind ofthe stuff was all designed by
miles red, who you, you, you met, we've hung out with him.
We went to his house and infire island and all that, and
he's a close friend of mine fromfrom literally like 25 years
(33:27):
already, and so that apartmentwas super cute.
And then, um, there was aone-person apartment.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Yeah, it was like a well, it's a one bedroom, which,
in manhattan, is definitely fora couple but like for two
people you need we've expandedyeah that was our first year
together was doing a gutrenovation combination of two
apartments so we had just metand then we like, hopped into
this construction project.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
So to answer this question.
The number one thing younoticed about me that wasn't
physical was that I was clean.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Honestly, the first thing, this is physical, though
I noticed that you were wearinglike running shoes, like Hoka's
not Hoka's, but like Nike's, Idon't know why, but that's
physical, that's physical,physical.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
So clever is not physical, see so clever is not
physical.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Um see, yeah, I'm having a hard time because I'm
just thinking about the moment.
I first like locked eyes on youand that's all physical so then
okay, so then move on past thatum, oh well then that you were
like direct because, like once,we like exchanged numbers and
stuff.
You were like hi, do you wantto go to this tonight?
Yes, I will pick you up ateight.
I was like period done.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Okay, love, that's because of our age difference
and texting you and your friendstext like when you guys to say
one word, to say one thing.
It's like a flower stream ofconsciousness, and balloons and
emojis and all kinds of stuff me.
It's like meet me here.
Yes, I will be there.
(34:58):
Okay, there was no, I don'tlike talk it out on the texting
yeah, you're not a big people.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
If someone like looked at my phone and like went
to our text message thread likeyou and me, they'd be like this
is not a married couple.
Like it's like.
Like it's like, yes.
No food in the house.
Question mark yes, boughtalmond milk like it's just yeah,
the bare.
No Food in the house questionmark yes, bought almond milk.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Like it's just the bare minimum, but we're also
with each other.
Yeah, that's all texting shouldbe.
It shouldn't be trying tofigure out someone's emotional
situation.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Yeah, I completely agree.
Oh, okay, all right, okay, good.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
When do you feel most alive?
Speaker 2 (35:34):
I've been thinking about this a lot recently most
alive.
I've been thinking about this alot recently.
Um, when I'm going really faston what?
In my car and also on a jet ski, and I was doing research and
there's this track inconnecticut, like an hour from
our house, where I can like takethe car out on it.
Yeah, I told you you should dothat, I know I.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I think I'm gonna do that you know that that does
nothing for me speed you don'thave well, because you're get
your adrenaline from stage.
I get on stage in front of Idon't have that yeah like here,
make us laugh yeah, that's crazyyeah so you know that they have
like those things where, likewith these accountants and these
people who are very like that,they go go bungee jumping and
(36:17):
skydiving, because that's wherethey get their crazy adrenaline
high.
But yeah, speeding has neverbeen my thing.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
But I don't speed, like on the road, like on the
highway and stuff.
But, like on a back road orsomething I'll you know, open
her up.
But that's like such a specificmoment and when do I feel the
most alive.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
You know, when you look super alive what we just
did a video of asmr.
Yeah, we just posted I don'tknow what that means it's a
whole thing you have to googleit, it stands for something
people like.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
It's like these soft little noises, that it's like
super viral, super viral and youtold me then.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
So we taped like a bunch of stuff, and then on the
drive home from Connecticut youjust put your earphones on and
went into editing mode.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
That's when I look the most alive, when I'm on my
phone.
That's so depressing.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
You look so alive when you're editing.
You're like and you're gettinginto it, and you're getting into
it Two hours on.
I would, if I was doinganything on my phone for two
hours, I would put it down, findsomeone and choke them.
That's my.
My head would explode.
But you are like creatingcontent and chopping and cutting
(37:30):
and getting and bunning andchika-paka-paka.
It's so wow to watch.
It's something I could never do.
I could never do any of it.
I can never do jokes.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
No, it's not true.
Well, I've done a few jokes.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Yeah, you've written a lot the.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
ASMR filling video was genius and hilarious, says
Vocus.
I can't read it from here Wait,how many people are on?
Right now 39, which, for ourfirst live that I didn't
advertise, is not bad.
Very nice which for our firstlive that I didn't advertise is
not bad very um.
Paul tackett says leo and modiare beshared amen absolutely.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Um, okay, what in our relationship are you the most
proud of?
Wow I will tell you mine goahead.
Is that bad?
I should just let you tell youno, tell me that we help other
people.
That's the most important thing.
That's the most important thing.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
I really think that is yes, that is like the core
tenet of what you do, of likeyou don't think you're just
going on stage and doing jokes.
You, you genuinely believe thatyou are bringing healing to
people, and so you do.
You don't go like.
That does come across andpeople do get that from your
shows right um, so that's prettycool to see yeah, because other
(38:44):
comedians don't necessarilybring that um intention to the
stage.
They're like all right, let's dosome jokes like I'm gonna see
if these people laugh like yeah,they're like sort of like an
angrier energy, right, you knowwhat I mean.
Yeah, I'm not gonna name names,no but we um, um.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
But I think that's the most important thing is you
have to, and I think when peoplego on dates, instead of asking
the person things like um, whatdo you want to do especially
religious people?
Um, when they ask things like,um, are you going to cover your
hair?
Are you going to, are you goingto do Especially religious
people when they ask things likeare you going to cover your
hair?
Are you going to?
Da-da-da, are you going to dothis in the morning?
Do that?
When do you kosher?
Not kosher, would you eat out?
I mean, the first questions youshould be asking on any date is
(39:29):
how can we together help otherpeople, you know, and then take
it from there, then worry aboutlike, like, if they're gonna
wash their hands but by theirbed and do all that stuff, and
you know all the religiousthings that you can connect to
God with.
If it works for you, you know,but helping others is the most
important thing and theneverything else will come into
(39:51):
place.
So, what's is?
What's your thing of?
Speaker 2 (39:55):
you're most proud of our relationship oh yeah, I'm
proud that we work together andwe, like you know, are doing a
positive thing in the world ingeneral.
I think making people's daylike even a tiny bit better Good
, but also just like how we'vebeen able to.
Like I said, we've beentogether 10 years and it's been
like a kind of a crazy ride, Notin a bad way.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
But like we're in some intense situations that a
lot of other couples don't haveto navigate, yes, and also like
public perception and likepeople knowing who I am but I
don't know who they are, andlike people saying negative
things to us sometimes about ourrelationship and we kind of are
very good at just like lettingit roll off our back.
(40:42):
In general, there are I mean,there are isolated instances
where I've lost my mind, but ingeneral, like I think, when you
said we haven't, we're so goodat letting it roll off.
I'm like we no, but in generallike I don't think a lot of
people could handle like theenergy of their partner going on
stage in front of hundreds orthousands of people, and then
(41:06):
that energy exchange is likevery intense.
And then like this, like sort oflike adoration of your partner
on a large scale, and then like,but at the end of the night
you're the one who goes homewith them.
And then, but I'm also seeinglike people talking about you
online and like as if you'reit's hard to like navigate.
When you're like up, you're mypartner and you're my husband,
(41:28):
but you're also like a for lackof a better word like a product
that is that you created, sold.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
So when you see me going on that stage.
I think what you should bethinking is I created this.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
I didn't create it.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
You booked three shows at the Beacon.
Okay, you created that, youmade that happen, you publicized
it.
You linked to how to go livethe agents, managers, publicists
, graphic design teams all that,you did that.
You did all of that.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Okay, you're very sweet for acknowledging that.
But yeah, I think.
But I just think most coupleslike I would struggle with
working so closely together andespecially if one of them is
sort of like the face of theoperation kind of and like, yeah
, having to.
But then I saw this thing, thatvideo I sent you of taylor swift
(42:20):
and how her brother and her momworked for her and how they
like got her her music catalogback and like.
I think you know so they, theyalso are doing that yeah, it's a
family thing, it's.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Yeah, you have to have family in the industry or
else you know, my favorite thingis when people ask me like how
do you guys try I go.
I said I could do this everynight.
I could that alone, the amountwe travel together would break
75 of couples no but, like youhave to think, I could every
night do a show with no problem.
I could every night flysomewhere theater, green room,
(42:55):
hotel, green room, theater withno problem.
And the reason I can is becauseof you.
You are walking.
What do you call it?
Advance, advance the show.
You have to advance the show,advance the show which means
nothing.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
It means nothing, it means nothing, but everyone
loves to say it.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
I'm advancing the show.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
I've advanced the show with the tech person, with
the stage manager, with thebackstage manager.
There's a loading dock manager,there's the front of house
manager, there's the box officemanager, and we're advancing and
we're letting them know thatthey need, and then we get there
.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
And then we get there and no one has anything.
No one has music cues, no onehas anything, and leo has to
handle all of it yeah, and meI'm sitting in the the green
room.
Oh look, they got my favoriteflavor of Celsius and look,
there's a nice.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
How do you think that happened?
Speaker 1 (43:39):
Yeah, because it's all, because you take care of
all of it and I just walk onstage and have a great time and
come off and you have all thatpressure.
And then the rides and thehotels and the flights yeah, the
travel's hard for me.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
Yeah, so the travel is hard for you, so that's why
we need to take it down.
It's hard for me just likephysically, like my skin gets so
dry on the airplanes.
It's like it's tough on thebody.
It's so tough on the body andyour sleep cycle.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
Here's something I wanted to ask myself, so I'm
asking you this instead Okay,what do you do every morning to?
Speaker 2 (44:17):
help you have a better day.
What do I do every morning tohelp you have a better day?
What do I do every morning tohelp me have?
A better day, yeah, um, can weget back to my?
What's your answer?
Well, obviously you're you, youfill in and you.
Well, I wake up in the morningand I have my, your meditation.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
I have my water with lemon juice.
I squeeze a lemon into a water.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
I don't know why, which I don't hold by, but I
love that you do that.
I hold by it, yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Because I've seen it a few times on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
So it must be true.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
So it must be true.
Djokovic, the tennis player,says every day that's how he
starts his day.
And then, now that we've saidthis and our phone heard it, I'm
going to get all the ads on.
Here's what happens to yourbody when you have a.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
I worry about my enamel.
That's my thought.
No, but you suck at eating, Iknow.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
Stop sitting there eating a lemon.
Speaker 2 (45:08):
I know.
Speaker 1 (45:11):
And so I do that.
I wash my hands with theneglovasa to remind myself that
I'm pure, and then I put ontefillin and that's how you
start a day.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Yeah, see, I just roll out every morning and I'm
like, I'm like what's going tohappen today?
God?
Speaker 1 (45:30):
forbid.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
You shouldn't be like that I go to the kitchen, I
take my vitamins, I make acoffee and I just open that
laptop and I'm like cracking myknuckles like what are we
dealing with today?
But I, I'm not good at that.
I'm not good at having like aroutine or like a spiritual
practice.
Like you, I just kind of everyday.
Well, going to the gym is mysort of like putting on fill in.
(45:54):

We've been on for over 40minutes.
Yeah, our session ends at 1230.
I know, but do we need toschlep it all the way out?
Speaker 2 (48:54):
like that we can.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
So tell me what you have.
What else do you have?
Speaker 2 (48:58):
I had that one thing that I wanted to talk to you
about, so tell me.
Speaker 1 (49:01):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (49:02):
The Rob Report article about the celebrities
who are building doomsdaybunkers.
Speaker 1 (49:08):
Yes, okay.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
Yeah.
So let me pull it up.
Everyone port did this thing umtalking about how these um,
basically all these ultra richpeople are um building these
crazy elaborate undergroundbunkers.
And they're not just like abunker, they look like a luxury
home hotel, like an amman resortunderground or wherever it is,
(49:33):
and they're fully self-contained, off the grid.
Water sources, it's likedesigned for like I don't know,
a nuclear explosion is coming,or like the world has totally
ended, and um, they were justdescribing them.
Some of them have crematoriumsin them.
So it's like I'm and they lookbeautiful, like I saw some of
(49:57):
the pictures in the article andthey said kim kardashian is
apparently a client, markzuckerberg is building a crazy
one.
And I'm just like, first of all, what would be in our bunker if
we built a bunker?
because they were talking aboutall these amenities that
different people have requestedbut, then I'm also thinking like
, let's say the world, let's saythe ultrarich elite group of
(50:17):
people who have these bunkers.
They get the news first thatthe world is about to end, the
comet is coming, the nukes arecoming, whatever is coming, and
they have time to get to theirbunker.
They then also have to bringthe staff Right Because, like,
let's say, kim Kardashian islike okay, I have to head to my
bunker now.
She hasn't done anything forherself in decades.
(50:40):
She's going to have to go intothe bunker and learn how to like
cook Kraft mac and cheese.
Or like she brings an assistantto keep her social media alive
while they're underground andthen they succumb to whatever
COVID viruses then.
And then she has to like Couldyou imagine Kim Kardashian
operating a crematorium like anin-house crematorium?
(51:02):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (51:05):
To be honest with you , I would build it out.
You know me.
Steam room, sauna, jacuzzi.
Speaker 2 (51:10):
That's what they have .
They have all these things.
Yeah, that's all I would do.
One of them has a go-kart track.
Speaker 1 (51:16):
They have all that money, so that's what they're
keeping busy with.
But the real answer is, ifthere is a nuclear war or
whatever, I want them when theyput in where it should land my
address.
I want to be the ground zero ofwhere.
I'm not looking for a worldwhere everybody's hair and
(51:37):
eyeballs are falling out orbeing Chernobyl-y.
Speaker 2 (51:41):
Well, Adrian says too late for bunkers.
We're living in doomsday as wespeak.
Speaker 1 (51:44):
No, Adrian, we're not .
We're living in Mashiach energy.
We are literally about.
We are in Mashiach energy andabout the entire world being.
Speaker 2 (51:52):
I just think it's funny that they're putting all
this effort Because like, okay,let's also say the nukes are
coming, the comments are coming,whatever's coming.
And like you're MarkZuckerberg's private chef and
now he calls you to get on theplane to go to the bunker and
you have to like now call yourfamily and be like hi, so like I
know the world is ending andeverything.
But like Mark is on this newdiet and I have to make his
(52:13):
smoothies every morning, so Idiet and I have to make his
smoothies every morning, so I'mgonna be in a bunker.
I'll check in with you guyslater.
Yeah, like it's bizarro nutsocuckoo, banana crazy it is
cuckoo banana crazy.
Speaker 1 (52:25):
I mean I just I don't , I can't even.
I'm not there yet, I'm not yet.
We just redid the bathrooms.
Speaker 2 (52:31):
I'm super happy with where they came out I just
thought you would have jokesabout like but like kim
kardashian in a bunker.
Yeah, have jokes about like Kim.
Speaker 1 (52:37):
Kardashian in a bunker.
Yeah, kim Kardashian in abunker.
I don't know.
I mean, is she going to fit allof her body parts in there?
Speaker 2 (52:44):
Her big ass.
I mean, I don't know, lowhanging fruit.
Speaker 1 (52:46):
Yeah, I don't, it's not like my, it's not my
audience's humor either.
I don't think, well, I don'tknow, so I, whatever I mean
again a tour of brazil anytime.
Speaker 2 (52:59):
We did brazil, we did a private show in uh sao paulo
for like 700 people.
Um, I don't know if we would.
Is there enough people thereoutside?
If there's a good?
Speaker 1 (53:10):
if there's a good if, if, if there's a producer for a
show and they have a good venueand we can do it, we're down A
check and a microphone, we showup.
The check has to be right andthe microphone has to be done
well.
Speaker 2 (53:23):
And we show up.
So we did our sponsors, we didyour shout outs, we did
everything.
Speaker 1 (53:29):
Yeah, and we had some fun and it was a nice little
session here catching up withyou, even though we are together
all the time.
Yeah, it's nice to just tocheck in with you and check in
with our audience, and this livething is fun, let's experiment.
Speaker 2 (53:43):
We're going to let people know ahead of time next
time and get some guests andmerch merch, you know.
Speaker 1 (53:50):
Oh yeah, not that I need the money, but just the
fact that you're walking aroundwith something that says
Moshiach Energy and it starts aconversation.
The world should be talkingabout Moshiach all the time.
It should be a part of theconversation.
It should be in the.
When you say Shabbat Shalom,moshiach Energy.
When you sign on top Be'zratHashem, with the help of God, on
(54:11):
top of your letter put down M-E, moshiachach energy.
It all begins with me, mashiachenergy.
So the merch is on the website.
Speaker 2 (54:20):
You can go to modi livecom the merch is linked
there or it's a separatestandalone site too.
It's mashiach energycom.
Um, everything except theyarmulkes are print on demand,
right.
So we don't hold any of thatinventory.
But if you want a mashiachenergy yarmulke, they're being
stored in a warehouse in Dallas,right?
Speaker 1 (54:36):
now?
No, don't bother them.
And you?
Speaker 2 (54:38):
need to order them now, because the warehouse is
closing at the beginning ofSeptember or end of August and
they're being returned to me andthen I have to figure out how
to resend those, because that'sa custom product.
So if you want a MoshiachEnergy yarmulke and you haven't
ordered one, go toMoshiachEnergycom and get one
now, because they're about toall be shipped back to our
apartment.
But just again.
(54:58):
But get a hat.
Speaker 1 (54:59):
People ordered the notebooks, Notebooks, hats
anything, it's just give it asgifts or a lip.
Yeah, and that's it.
And just get the conversationabout Moshiach Energy going and
whatever it means to you, youjust love seeing where the
orders are going.
Speaker 2 (55:15):
It's so much fun you like looking at like.
Speaker 1 (55:17):
Oh, it's being sent to… Sweden, yeah, Stockholm and
all these crazy places theyarmulkes and hats and notebooks
and T-shirts and sweatshirtsare going to and send pictures
of it.

I thank you everybody thatwatched and and sent letters,
what sent.
Whatever this is called ummessages, it's a live chat
(56:05):

welcome to, and here's modi.
Hi everybody, and welcome to,and here's modi.
Um, whatever you're doing,we're so happy you're with us
and we are live.
From what I understand, we areon youtube live, right we're
experimenting, we're seeing,it's our first one Experimental,
yeah, experimental podcastingfor us.
(00:25):
Yeah, so hi, we're live.
I hope we look good.
We look amazing.
Yeah, you really do lookamazing.
Oh thank you.
I have to tell you, I mean youwith all everything.
Wow, I'm looking at the lightand your skin and your hair, oh,
and your teeth and your,everything in your arms and your
(00:48):
oh.
And I told the engineer shelooked beautiful too.
It was, I was strange to.
She's just beautiful.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
we have four people on, by the way four people, hi,
four people the engineer.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
He was so beautiful and I said to her brianna,
you're just so pretty and yourmakeup is so good.
And for one moment I'm like isit okay to say that?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
well, because you think you're going to get
canceled.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, it's like he said something about my makeup,
but then you said you can saythat because you're gay.
I think I can also say thatbecause I'm over a certain age.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I disagree with you Over a certain age you can say
sweetheart, darling Sweetheart.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Yeah, that's so.
I don't think they women don'tlike that, and I just think in
general of commenting on women'sappearance, good or bad, is
just like you don't need to, youknow, like find something else
to say oh, why would you notgive her a compliment?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
why would you not?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
because I just feel like if that's your, especially
if you're meeting them for likethe first time, like you just
met them and learned their nameand like, oh, you're so pretty,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I try not to that's because your generation, but our
generation, my generation waslike hey, you look amazing, you
look great, good for you andmaybe we need to go back to that
.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I think we have to go back you already know my theory
that why dating is so righthard for the straight people is
because the men have been scared.
Now you're a better word justthey were neutered by the me too
movement.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Right because the me too movement.
And then all those seminars intheir, in their offices, about
how to treat women and how totalk to people and how to not
touch and how to not anything.
It's like it destroyed them andthey don't know how to
communicate now yeah, yeahanyway, um what?

Speaker 2 (11:48):
I'm just saying you two are amazing, modi.
My husband saw your show inColumbus.
We were laughing nonstop.
Good job, biz Mitchell.
Hi, sorry, so you did thisinterview about Bernie Burns, an
old Catskill comedian.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Right.
So I've been thinking and I'vebeen functioning under the
premise and it's in the act thatI am the last of the Catskill
comedians that's still alive.
Okay, because he worked theCatskills.
I worked the Catskills.
I bought my first apartmentwith money I made from the
Catskills.
I worked the Catskills.
He is still alive.
(12:21):
He's not a working comedian now, but he's still alive.
So I can't say that I'm thelast living catskill comedian.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Can you say working comedian?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
yeah, last working comedian from the.
Yeah, but it sounds I think I'mgonna still stay with last.
Yeah, he's not gonna follow up.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
He's not gonna follow I think people get it like the
vibe that I think also, like youknow, stand-up is dramatized.
It's's not your autobiographyword for word, so it's a
performance.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I can't get over your hair right now.
Thank, you, I'm just hitting itso unbelievably well.
Thank you, baruch Hashem foryou.
Okay, we had a Moshiach Energymoment in our apartment building
.
What Everybody always said it'sbetter to give than receive.
(13:12):
Oh my god, the the people.
When you give, you feel abetter energy when you receive.
It's a hundred percent true,and leo got to experience this.
Yeah, first hand in ourbuilding.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Do tell us, oh my god , it's so silly, it's so great,
it's so silly.
Well, there's these things.
I don't know if you've, I don'tknow if people are familiar
with the labubus.
They're these stupid littledolls that you attach to your
backpack or your purse andthey've, like exploded in
popularity and the kids lovethem.
Women are putting them, like ontheir birkin bags.
(13:42):
Um, they're just trending andthey're these stupid little.
They're kind of ugly, kind ofcute, like so ugly that they're
cute little plushy dolls.
They're a little bit about thisbig and the company Popmart,
but these things have made theirinventor a billionaire.
He's like one of the richestmen in China now and they do
these drops online and you haveto be online and you have to be
(14:02):
on the app and you have to beonline and you have to be on the
app and you have to get it andit's like so hard to get, it's
like impossible.
Um, so now there's like a wholeblack market of them if you can
get them from other people andlike they're just hard to find
and, um, I have been blessedwith several labubus.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
I have acquired.
You have a connection?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
yeah, um, and I like to give them to people because I
think it's a funny sort of gaggift and I had brought some to
Connecticut to give to ourfriends.
I put them in the guest roomsbecause I thought it would be
funny if it was on their bedwhen they got there.
And they love them, by the way.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
So then we were just in Connecticut.
We came back and when I wasthere I realized I had an
unopened labubu there back.
And when I was there I realizedI had an unopened labubu there.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
and so when we were, in our apartment building I was
hold on.
Just explain in our apartmentbuilding, the downstairs there's
, there's the the um, therecycle unit and there's also,
it's right in front of thewindow, where the package unit,
where the package room is.
We have a package room.
There's an amazing woman thatworks there.
We love her.
She always takes care ofvictoria, she takes care of us
when we're away, she takes ourpackages, and so it's a lot,
(15:07):
which is a lot.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
So leo's standing in front of the recycle bin where
you put the cardboard and she'swatching him and she's watching
me unbox this labubu, becausethey're in a blind box so you
don't know which one you'regonna get.
So they're all boxed and thenit's in a bag.
So I'm standing there in frontof the recycling and I'm going
through all these layers and Ifinally take the labubu out and
she goes oh, I can hear herbecause she's like watching me
(15:29):
unpack it and she goes Mr Leo,you got a labubu.
You're so lucky.

If I would have known that youwanted one or knew what it was,
I wouldn't have taken it out ofthe box.

She almost cried.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
You put a hostage pin on your Labubu that I gave you,
and you made him a Lajuju.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I made him a Lajuju.
I put the hostage pit and thetag and the whole thing on my
yeah, yeah, what else is on yourlist?
What else is on my list?
Okay, we watched the Billy Joeldocumentary.
When we say we, well I.
(18:39):
Okay, it was 18 parts.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
It's funny because you're the one who's always like
I have ADD, I can't focus.
Blah, blah, blah.
But when we're in our house andwe're trying to watch a movie
or something, I'm doing lapsaround the house and you're
watching and I can't sit.
Still, I'm listening, I'mlistening to it and I'm keeping
along, but I'm just futzing.
I'm in the kitchen, I'm foldingclothes, like I can't sit and
(19:06):
watch something for that long soI I can only if I'm watching
something I'm I'm totallyfocused on it.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I don't want to miss a line no, I'm not missing a
line.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I just don't have to sit and watch, I don't know.
But yeah, the billy joeldocumentary I was watching, I
was listening to it, you werewatching it.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yes, I want to tell you something.
You know I always talk abouthow god put gifts on earth and
the people are a vessel.
So billy joel was a vessel fora gift that god put on earth his
songs, his music, his voice,it's.
It's a gift that came.
And then you get to meet the onthe documentary, you get to
meet the vessel, you get to meethim and how he talks and he has
(19:45):
a Long Island accent.
You know, and you said I do too, but I don't think I do.
But of course not.
He has a very strong LongIsland accent.
He came from from Hicksville,such a funny name it's such a
funny name, what a horrible namefor any place they should
really rebrand that.
Oh god, it's horrible.
Everything out there,hicksville's horrible and then
amityville.
From the amityville horror showfor a rebrand and yeah, it's
(20:07):
also good for a rebrand, but,but um, it's an amazing story.
No, it's just such a.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
It's wow, yeah, and then the whole thing with the
manager.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah, yeah, but scary but then it's scary that he had
all this money problems.
But I felt all the moneyproblems led him to the next
thing all those shows he did inif he had had all this money
problems.
But I feel like all the moneyproblems led him to the next
thing All those shows he did.
If he had had all the money, ifhe never made a financial
mistake from the beginning, hewouldn't have had to do all
those shows at Radio City MusicHall.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
What am I saying, msg ?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
At MSG at Madison Square Garden.
But he did what 100 shows Likehe broke a record.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
He broke some crazy record.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And we went.
Dina bought us tickets to that.
We did.
We saw it live.
It was.
It's mind-blowing.
It's mind-blowing that there'sone man that they're all coming
to see and they all know hismusic and they all and I'm
looking out like across from usis a section which is probably
500 people which is a theater.
Across from us is a sectionwhich is probably 500 people
which is a theater.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Oh yeah, that's what we were doing.
We were looking across MSG andwe were like that's about the
venue we're doing next week,Just that chunk and then it's
multiplied by, like by billions,a whole bunch.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Oh, it was so, and just like it, really you can
tell that God put his gift outand said okay, this needs to be
more shows, you have more you,you have these shows in you and
we're going to get them out ofyou.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
So this is it was his uh fuel to keep going and
solidify.
You're saying he maybe wouldn'thave been such a prolific
legendary singer if he had madehis money, did some hits and was
like okay showing you enough,showing exactly, but he but god
was like no, you're gonna havesome money problems and you're
gonna to have to keep grinding.
And then, look, he broke allthat records at Madison Square.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Garden.
Yeah, and makes people feelgood, and makes people feel bad.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
You always have a positive spin on the situation.
Yes, you're always looking forthat.
Well, you know, if you didn'tdo that, I that's.
Yeah, I struggle with that.
No, but you got oh, it's somuch easier to have a positive
spin.
It's just easier.
I'm not saying it's not, I'mjust saying our brains work
differently.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Okay, wow, we are just, we're cooking here.
Yeah, a lot of topics.
I like this.

It just became like a brandingissue because people thought

a branding issue, because peoplethought that, like that you

And then I was like no, no, hisname is modi, he does stand up.
They like thought you were likea real, that was like a real
person.
Um, that was a covety thingyeah, that's for like the deep
fans.
The deep fans know about near.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah yeah, okay, I want to talk about this is.
I mean, I don't know if I haveyour approval to discuss this,
but let's go recently, goRecently.
The prime minister of Israelwas on Fox News talking about
what he's doing and what he'sgoing to do, and all of that.
He was interviewed on Fox Newsand behind him was a set of
(23:40):
books.
You know, you kind of like haveto choose what's behind you in
those.
You know it's an interview tobe dressed up your makeup, it's
a real thing.
And then there's like the booksbehind you wherever you are, or
a picture behind you.
Yeah, and behind him was a setof the Zohar, which is the,
which is the mystical teachingsof the Torah.
(24:08):
So the Torah is cut up intoparashat, into sections.
You know Genesis, noach, chai,sarah, all of these, and then
this is the commentary on that,but in the spiritual commentary
(24:31):
on that, but in the spiritualcommentary, and within that is
literally the the solution forworld peace, for human dignity,
for love thy neighbor.
All of that is like amplifiedit's that's, it's the, it's the,
it's the, it's the instructionmanual for world peace.
I don't know what he's planningon doing and what he's doing
and what's going to happen, butI just know that that's there
behind.
I don't know if he chose it orhis.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Are you saying it's an ironic juxtaposition or it's
a foretelling of what's to come?
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Going for positive God willing.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I think it's an ironic juxtaposition.
I think it's an ironicjuxtaposition.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
I hope it's a foretelling that whatever is in
those books, those holy books,will be used to create world
peace and human dignity and loveand obviously a messianic era.
I'm putting that out there.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
It's a set of Zohar.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
It's not like the Bible or the laws of Jewish
courts, or it's the laws of theJewish government, it's the
Zohar.
It's such a strong statement toput that behind you when you're
talking about anything, whenyou're doing an interview, to
have that behind you aboutanything, when you're doing an
interview, to have that behindyou.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Yeah, but there's so many people around him who may
have just staged that and hejust waltzed in.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
BB is art directing the background of his Fox News
interview.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
So maybe he is, maybe he isn't.
I want to find out.
We're actually meeting withsomebody who's very close to him
soon.
So, we're going to ask, but Iwould love to hear everybody's
opinion on what you think aboutbb having the zohar behind him
when he made the fox interview.
That's it.
That's just that was.
(26:15):
I'm putting that out there okaywe're good, yeah, next, next,
yeah, okay, moving that rightalong.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
So you told me that people, when it comes to me and
you are very voyeuristic, yeah,I want to Mm-hmm, yeah, I think.
Well, I think a lot of peopledon't know that we've been
together so long, yes, likewe've been together so long, yes
, like we've been together 10years now, and that when I met
you I didn't know who you wereor that you were a comedian.
I don't think people know that.
I think that we just met and Iwas like, oh, look at this funny
(26:55):
guy, he's a comedian.
And like then I was just, Idon't know.
I think there's a misconception, all right, and like.
People sometimes place me in acertain category.
That is not accurate.
Not that I care, but like Ifeel it.
I can see it like when peoplerealize who I am and then I can
(27:15):
see them sort of like placing me.
But there is a voyeuristicaspect of like us and you and
like we're kind of like anout-of-the-box couple with like
the age difference and thereligion difference, and like we
work together but he's this andthey're that and he puts on
fill-in but he's gay and he hasa husband.
It's like people don't know howto digest it and some people it
(27:36):
turns them off.
But I feel like some people arelike just intrigued and that's
like what I'm saying like thissort of like voyeuristic aspect
which we're monetizing, becauselook at what we're doing, we're
doing a podcast together, ahundred percent.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
When we first met, our go-to mantra of how to have
a relationship was hydrate,moisturize and be nice.
But those are symbolic, notliteral.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
No those are literal, it's literal but also Hydrate,
moisturize and be nice.
But those are symbolic, notliteral.
No, those are literal.
It's literal, but also.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Hydrate, moisturize and be nice yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Literally Hydrate means like Hydrate, literally
Drink water but also like makesure your partner is hydrated
and taken care of Right, andlike fed and is comfortable
Right Moisturize.
Moisturize is just kind of likeself-care.
Self-care yes, like you have toalso take care of yourself.
Fix your own mask before fixingother people's mask.
(28:30):
Yes, and be nice to each other.
That covers everything else.
Yes, and be nice to each other.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
That covers everything else, right?
So those are the three,absolutely.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
It's just 100%.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Those were the three commandments and we've added
then monetize.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Monetize Period, monetize which I've done.
You've killed it.
So you say people always asklike did you know who I was when
you met me?
So I always say I wasn't who Iwas when you met me.
So I always say I wasn't who Iam when you met me.
You made me who I am.
When I met Leo, I had 7,000followers.
(29:07):
I was doing private gigs.
It was like you blew it intothe next level.
You know you over COVID, thegift that we had, covid was a
gift for us, a time to regroupand re.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Let's be delicate.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Yeah, a lot of people died, okay but, but, but we,
for us, it was a moment ofpositivity, it was a pivotal
moment.
It's a pivotal moment and then,you know, everything just moved
along with that too.
So so on, the voyeuristic umvibe of people wanting to find
out about us, okay, I want, Iwant to ask so.
(29:42):
So to me it's, it's very muchlike it all.
It's summed up when, when, whenwe're walking in the street and
someone comes to me and goesyou're modi, you're, you're modi
.
And then attorney goes andyou're his gay husband, as if,
like, I'm not gay, but like Ihappen to have been married to a
gay man, so now that makes megay by association, which is
(30:06):
like very funny.
It's like it really explains itall.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
They compartmentalize you in like a very strange way,
right?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Like here's this guy who puts on tefillin and goes to
synagogue and he davens komnidre and he speaks in Yiddish
and everything is Mashiachenergy.
And he's married to a man who'snot Jewish and who's running
the Jewish comedy world.
You know, so it's great, Okay.
So on the voyeuristic thing Iwant, here's a question that I
(30:38):
want you to answer.
These are not you don't knowthese questions.
I'm going in blind, You'regoing in blind, yeah, yeah yeah,
Okay, Where's that question?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I really like it.
Well, while you find that Evesays about BB, don't
underestimate.
Always looking for light andbetter ways.
We should all think and listenmore with our hearts and not our
eyes.
Love you both.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Thank you, Eve.
Thank you, Eve.
That's exactly what I'm talkingabout.
That's the energy we want.
What was the first thing younoticed about me that wasn't
physical?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Well, we met on the subway.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Right physical.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
The well we met on the subway right.
Um, it's hard, because thefirst thing I noticed was you
smiled at me, but you smiled atme as if we had met before, like
we knew each other already, andthen you did this kind of like
motion with your head.
That was like kind of silly, um, but that wasn't physical um,
(31:42):
so I'll tell you what mine wasfor you.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Okay, you were clever .
I go, oh, this, this, thiskid's clever.
This kid's clever what?
Because we, well, you moved inthree days after we, three dates
after we met, and you wereworking at cia, and you would
come home and tell me all thestories of what happened there
and I, I put together that he'sclever, he's smart, clever, he's
(32:09):
the word clever, clever, you'reso clever well then, obviously
yours is funny, but like, that'sa lazy answer.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
First thing I noticed about you it's not physical.
I guess when I went to yourapartment for the first time, it
was clean and I was really intothat.
Oh, okay, I was like, oh, thankGod.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
My apartment was so cute when you, when you?
Speaker 2 (32:36):
well, because you also like weren't you were busy
working, and like it was justyou, and like like, so I guess
there wasn't much, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Maybe my apartment when we first met was a one
bedroom.
I owned the apartment next toit but didn't break I didn't
know that right so it was, andum I had help designing it from
miles yeah, it was nice.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
It was nice and clean .
It was like a put together,here's like a got.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Like you know, it was welcoming and nice and like I
liked being there so that thatthat apartment was the wallpaper
and the doors and like kind ofthe stuff was all designed by
miles red, who you, you, you met, we've hung out with him.
We went to his house and infire island and all that, and
he's a close friend of mine fromfrom literally like 25 years
(33:27):
already, and so that apartmentwas super cute.
And then, um, there was aone-person apartment.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Yeah, it was like a well, it's a one bedroom, which,
in manhattan, is definitely fora couple but like for two
people you need we've expandedyeah that was our first year
together was doing a gutrenovation combination of two
apartments so we had just metand then we like, hopped into
this construction project.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
So to answer this question.
The number one thing younoticed about me that wasn't
physical was that I was clean.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Honestly, the first thing, this is physical, though
I noticed that you were wearinglike running shoes, like Hoka's
not Hoka's, but like Nike's, Idon't know why, but that's
physical, that's physical,physical.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
So clever is not physical, see so clever is not
physical.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Um see, yeah, I'm having a hard time because I'm
just thinking about the moment.
I first like locked eyes on youand that's all physical so then
okay, so then move on past thatum, oh well then that you were
like direct because, like once,we like exchanged numbers and
stuff.
You were like hi, do you wantto go to this tonight?
Yes, I will pick you up ateight.
I was like period done.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Okay, love, that's because of our age difference
and texting you and your friendstext like when you guys to say
one word, to say one thing.
It's like a flower stream ofconsciousness, and balloons and
emojis and all kinds of stuff me.
It's like meet me here.
Yes, I will be there.
(34:58):
Okay, there was no, I don'tlike talk it out on the texting
yeah, you're not a big people.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
If someone like looked at my phone and like went
to our text message thread likeyou and me, they'd be like this
is not a married couple.
Like it's like.
Like it's like, yes.
No food in the house.
Question mark yes, boughtalmond milk like it's just yeah,
the bare.
No Food in the house questionmark yes, bought almond milk.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Like it's just the bare minimum, but we're also
with each other.
Yeah, that's all texting shouldbe.
It shouldn't be trying tofigure out someone's emotional
situation.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Yeah, I completely agree.
Oh, okay, all right, okay, good.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
When do you feel most alive?
Speaker 2 (35:34):
I've been thinking about this a lot recently most
alive.
I've been thinking about this alot recently.
Um, when I'm going really faston what?
In my car and also on a jet ski, and I was doing research and
there's this track inconnecticut, like an hour from
our house, where I can like takethe car out on it.
Yeah, I told you you should dothat, I know I.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I think I'm gonna do that you know that that does
nothing for me speed you don'thave well, because you're get
your adrenaline from stage.
I get on stage in front of Idon't have that yeah like here,
make us laugh yeah, that's crazyyeah so you know that they have
like those things where, likewith these accountants and these
people who are very like that,they go go bungee jumping and
(36:17):
skydiving, because that's wherethey get their crazy adrenaline
high.
But yeah, speeding has neverbeen my thing.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
But I don't speed, like on the road, like on the
highway and stuff.
But, like on a back road orsomething I'll you know, open
her up.
But that's like such a specificmoment and when do I feel the
most alive.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
You know, when you look super alive what we just
did a video of asmr.
Yeah, we just posted I don'tknow what that means it's a
whole thing you have to googleit, it stands for something
people like.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
It's like these soft little noises, that it's like
super viral, super viral and youtold me then.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
So we taped like a bunch of stuff, and then on the
drive home from Connecticut youjust put your earphones on and
went into editing mode.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
That's when I look the most alive, when I'm on my
phone.
That's so depressing.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
You look so alive when you're editing.
You're like and you're gettinginto it, and you're getting into
it Two hours on.
I would, if I was doinganything on my phone for two
hours, I would put it down, findsomeone and choke them.
That's my.
My head would explode.
But you are like creatingcontent and chopping and cutting
(37:30):
and getting and bunning andchika-paka-paka.
It's so wow to watch.
It's something I could never do.
I could never do any of it.
I can never do jokes.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
No, it's not true.
Well, I've done a few jokes.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Yeah, you've written a lot the.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
ASMR filling video was genius and hilarious, says
Vocus.
I can't read it from here Wait,how many people are on?
Right now 39, which, for ourfirst live that I didn't
advertise, is not bad.
Very nice which for our firstlive that I didn't advertise is
not bad very um.
Paul tackett says leo and modiare beshared amen absolutely.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Um, okay, what in our relationship are you the most
proud of?
Wow I will tell you mine goahead.
Is that bad?
I should just let you tell youno, tell me that we help other
people.
That's the most important thing.
That's the most important thing.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
I really think that is yes, that is like the core
tenet of what you do, of likeyou don't think you're just
going on stage and doing jokes.
You, you genuinely believe thatyou are bringing healing to
people, and so you do.
You don't go like.
That does come across andpeople do get that from your
shows right um, so that's prettycool to see yeah, because other
(38:44):
comedians don't necessarilybring that um intention to the
stage.
They're like all right, let's dosome jokes like I'm gonna see
if these people laugh like yeah,they're like sort of like an
angrier energy, right, you knowwhat I mean.
Yeah, I'm not gonna name names,no but we um, um.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
But I think that's the most important thing is you
have to, and I think when peoplego on dates, instead of asking
the person things like um, whatdo you want to do especially
religious people?
Um, when they ask things like,um, are you going to cover your
hair?
Are you going to, are you goingto do Especially religious
people when they ask things likeare you going to cover your
hair?
Are you going to?
Da-da-da, are you going to dothis in the morning?
Do that?
When do you kosher?
Not kosher, would you eat out?
I mean, the first questions youshould be asking on any date is
(39:29):
how can we together help otherpeople, you know, and then take
it from there, then worry aboutlike, like, if they're gonna
wash their hands but by theirbed and do all that stuff, and
you know all the religiousthings that you can connect to
God with.
If it works for you, you know,but helping others is the most
important thing and theneverything else will come into
(39:51):
place.
So, what's is?
What's your thing of?
Speaker 2 (39:55):
you're most proud of our relationship oh yeah, I'm
proud that we work together andwe, like you know, are doing a
positive thing in the world ingeneral.
I think making people's daylike even a tiny bit better Good
, but also just like how we'vebeen able to.
Like I said, we've beentogether 10 years and it's been
like a kind of a crazy ride, Notin a bad way.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
But like we're in some intense situations that a
lot of other couples don't haveto navigate, yes, and also like
public perception and likepeople knowing who I am but I
don't know who they are, andlike people saying negative
things to us sometimes about ourrelationship and we kind of are
very good at just like lettingit roll off our back.
(40:42):
In general, there are I mean,there are isolated instances
where I've lost my mind, but ingeneral, like I think, when you
said we haven't, we're so goodat letting it roll off.
I'm like we no, but in generallike I don't think a lot of
people could handle like theenergy of their partner going on
stage in front of hundreds orthousands of people, and then
(41:06):
that energy exchange is likevery intense.
And then like this, like sort oflike adoration of your partner
on a large scale, and then like,but at the end of the night
you're the one who goes homewith them.
And then, but I'm also seeinglike people talking about you
online and like as if you'reit's hard to like navigate.
When you're like up, you're mypartner and you're my husband,
(41:28):
but you're also like a for lackof a better word like a product
that is that you created, sold.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
So when you see me going on that stage.
I think what you should bethinking is I created this.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
I didn't create it.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
You booked three shows at the Beacon.
Okay, you created that, youmade that happen, you publicized
it.
You linked to how to go livethe agents, managers, publicists
, graphic design teams all that,you did that.
You did all of that.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Okay, you're very sweet for acknowledging that.
But yeah, I think.
But I just think most coupleslike I would struggle with
working so closely together andespecially if one of them is
sort of like the face of theoperation kind of and like, yeah
, having to.
But then I saw this thing, thatvideo I sent you of taylor swift
(42:20):
and how her brother and her momworked for her and how they
like got her her music catalogback and like.
I think you know so they, theyalso are doing that yeah, it's a
family thing, it's.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Yeah, you have to have family in the industry or
else you know, my favorite thingis when people ask me like how
do you guys try I go.
I said I could do this everynight.
I could that alone, the amountwe travel together would break
75 of couples no but, like youhave to think, I could every
night do a show with no problem.
I could every night flysomewhere theater, green room,
(42:55):
hotel, green room, theater withno problem.
And the reason I can is becauseof you.
You are walking.
What do you call it?
Advance, advance the show.
You have to advance the show,advance the show which means
nothing.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
It means nothing, it means nothing, but everyone
loves to say it.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
I'm advancing the show.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
I've advanced the show with the tech person, with
the stage manager, with thebackstage manager.
There's a loading dock manager,there's the front of house
manager, there's the box officemanager, and we're advancing and
we're letting them know thatthey need, and then we get there
.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
And then we get there and no one has anything.
No one has music cues, no onehas anything, and leo has to
handle all of it yeah, and meI'm sitting in the the green
room.
Oh look, they got my favoriteflavor of Celsius and look,
there's a nice.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
How do you think that happened?
Speaker 1 (43:39):
Yeah, because it's all, because you take care of
all of it and I just walk onstage and have a great time and
come off and you have all thatpressure.
And then the rides and thehotels and the flights yeah, the
travel's hard for me.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
Yeah, so the travel is hard for you, so that's why
we need to take it down.
It's hard for me just likephysically, like my skin gets so
dry on the airplanes.
It's like it's tough on thebody.
It's so tough on the body andyour sleep cycle.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
Here's something I wanted to ask myself, so I'm
asking you this instead Okay,what do you do every morning to?
Speaker 2 (44:17):
help you have a better day.
What do I do every morning tohelp you have a better day?
What do I do every morning tohelp me have?
A better day, yeah, um, can weget back to my?
What's your answer?
Well, obviously you're you, youfill in and you.
Well, I wake up in the morningand I have my, your meditation.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
I have my water with lemon juice.
I squeeze a lemon into a water.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
I don't know why, which I don't hold by, but I
love that you do that.
I hold by it, yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Because I've seen it a few times on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
So it must be true.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
So it must be true.
Djokovic, the tennis player,says every day that's how he
starts his day.
And then, now that we've saidthis and our phone heard it, I'm
going to get all the ads on.
Here's what happens to yourbody when you have a.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
I worry about my enamel.
That's my thought.
No, but you suck at eating, Iknow.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
Stop sitting there eating a lemon.
Speaker 2 (45:08):
I know.
Speaker 1 (45:11):
And so I do that.
I wash my hands with theneglovasa to remind myself that
I'm pure, and then I put ontefillin and that's how you
start a day.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Yeah, see, I just roll out every morning and I'm
like, I'm like what's going tohappen today?
God?
Speaker 1 (45:30):
forbid.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
You shouldn't be like that I go to the kitchen, I
take my vitamins, I make acoffee and I just open that
laptop and I'm like cracking myknuckles like what are we
dealing with today?
But I, I'm not good at that.
I'm not good at having like aroutine or like a spiritual
practice.
Like you, I just kind of everyday.
Well, going to the gym is mysort of like putting on fill in.
(45:54):
What are you reading?
Speaker 1 (45:57):
you not need to roll.
I hope it is.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
Adrian said what you should be most proud of is how
you both have grown together aspeople totally in sync.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
like that we can.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
So tell me what you have.
What else do you have?
Speaker 2 (48:58):
I had that one thing that I wanted to talk to you
about, so tell me.
Speaker 1 (49:01):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (49:02):
The Rob Report article about the celebrities
who are building doomsdaybunkers.
Speaker 1 (49:08):
Yes, okay.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
Yeah.
So let me pull it up.
Everyone port did this thing umtalking about how these um,
basically all these ultra richpeople are um building these
crazy elaborate undergroundbunkers.
And they're not just like abunker, they look like a luxury
home hotel, like an amman resortunderground or wherever it is,
(49:33):
and they're fully self-contained, off the grid.
Water sources, it's likedesigned for like I don't know,
a nuclear explosion is coming,or like the world has totally
ended, and um, they were justdescribing them.
Some of them have crematoriumsin them.
So it's like I'm and they lookbeautiful, like I saw some of
(49:57):
the pictures in the article andthey said kim kardashian is
apparently a client, markzuckerberg is building a crazy
one.
And I'm just like, first of all, what would be in our bunker if
we built a bunker?
because they were talking aboutall these amenities that
different people have requestedbut, then I'm also thinking like
, let's say the world, let's saythe ultrarich elite group of
(50:17):
people who have these bunkers.
They get the news first thatthe world is about to end, the
comet is coming, the nukes arecoming, whatever is coming, and
they have time to get to theirbunker.
They then also have to bringthe staff Right Because, like,
let's say, kim Kardashian islike okay, I have to head to my
bunker now.
She hasn't done anything forherself in decades.
(50:40):
She's going to have to go intothe bunker and learn how to like
cook Kraft mac and cheese.
Or like she brings an assistantto keep her social media alive
while they're underground andthen they succumb to whatever
COVID viruses then.
And then she has to like Couldyou imagine Kim Kardashian
operating a crematorium like anin-house crematorium?
(51:02):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (51:05):
To be honest with you , I would build it out.
You know me.
Steam room, sauna, jacuzzi.
Speaker 2 (51:10):
That's what they have .
They have all these things.
Yeah, that's all I would do.
One of them has a go-kart track.
Speaker 1 (51:16):
They have all that money, so that's what they're
keeping busy with.
But the real answer is, ifthere is a nuclear war or
whatever, I want them when theyput in where it should land my
address.
I want to be the ground zero ofwhere.
I'm not looking for a worldwhere everybody's hair and
(51:37):
eyeballs are falling out orbeing Chernobyl-y.
Speaker 2 (51:41):
Well, Adrian says too late for bunkers.
We're living in doomsday as wespeak.
Speaker 1 (51:44):
No, Adrian, we're not .
We're living in Mashiach energy.
We are literally about.
We are in Mashiach energy andabout the entire world being.
Speaker 2 (51:52):
I just think it's funny that they're putting all
this effort Because like, okay,let's also say the nukes are
coming, the comments are coming,whatever's coming.
And like you're MarkZuckerberg's private chef and
now he calls you to get on theplane to go to the bunker and
you have to like now call yourfamily and be like hi, so like I
know the world is ending andeverything.
But like Mark is on this newdiet and I have to make his
(52:13):
smoothies every morning, so Idiet and I have to make his
smoothies every morning, so I'mgonna be in a bunker.
I'll check in with you guyslater.
Yeah, like it's bizarro nutsocuckoo, banana crazy it is
cuckoo banana crazy.
Speaker 1 (52:25):
I mean I just I don't , I can't even.
I'm not there yet, I'm not yet.
We just redid the bathrooms.
Speaker 2 (52:31):
I'm super happy with where they came out I just
thought you would have jokesabout like but like kim
kardashian in a bunker.
Yeah, have jokes about like Kim.
Speaker 1 (52:37):
Kardashian in a bunker.
Yeah, kim Kardashian in abunker.
I don't know.
I mean, is she going to fit allof her body parts in there?
Speaker 2 (52:44):
Her big ass.
I mean, I don't know, lowhanging fruit.
Speaker 1 (52:46):
Yeah, I don't, it's not like my, it's not my
audience's humor either.
I don't think, well, I don'tknow, so I, whatever I mean
again a tour of brazil anytime.
Speaker 2 (52:59):
We did brazil, we did a private show in uh sao paulo
for like 700 people.
Um, I don't know if we would.
Is there enough people thereoutside?
If there's a good?
Speaker 1 (53:10):
if there's a good if, if, if there's a producer for a
show and they have a good venueand we can do it, we're down A
check and a microphone, we showup.
The check has to be right andthe microphone has to be done
well.
Speaker 2 (53:23):
And we show up.
So we did our sponsors, we didyour shout outs, we did
everything.
Speaker 1 (53:29):
Yeah, and we had some fun and it was a nice little
session here catching up withyou, even though we are together
all the time.
Yeah, it's nice to just tocheck in with you and check in
with our audience, and this livething is fun, let's experiment.
Speaker 2 (53:43):
We're going to let people know ahead of time next
time and get some guests andmerch merch, you know.
Speaker 1 (53:50):
Oh yeah, not that I need the money, but just the
fact that you're walking aroundwith something that says
Moshiach Energy and it starts aconversation.
The world should be talkingabout Moshiach all the time.
It should be a part of theconversation.
It should be in the.
When you say Shabbat Shalom,moshiach Energy.
When you sign on top Be'zratHashem, with the help of God, on
(54:11):
top of your letter put down M-E, moshiachach energy.
It all begins with me, mashiachenergy.
So the merch is on the website.
Speaker 2 (54:20):
You can go to modi livecom the merch is linked
there or it's a separatestandalone site too.
It's mashiach energycom.
Um, everything except theyarmulkes are print on demand,
right.
So we don't hold any of thatinventory.
But if you want a mashiachenergy yarmulke, they're being
stored in a warehouse in Dallas,right?
Speaker 1 (54:36):
now?
No, don't bother them.
And you?
Speaker 2 (54:38):
need to order them now, because the warehouse is
closing at the beginning ofSeptember or end of August and
they're being returned to me andthen I have to figure out how
to resend those, because that'sa custom product.
So if you want a MoshiachEnergy yarmulke and you haven't
ordered one, go toMoshiachEnergycom and get one
now, because they're about toall be shipped back to our
