Speaker 1 (14:41):
I could see from leo's face that they were
somebody he'd be like like thatwell and it was fun for me to
see john stamos because I grewup watching full house.
Full house was like one of thefew shows that I was allowed to
watch.
As we all know, I was relegatedto mostly VeggieTales and
Christian faith-based cartoons.
However, full House managed itsway into the lineup at one
(15:05):
point, and so I have Bob Saget,obviously, who's part of Jeff's
show.
That's why John Stamos wasthere, because part of Jeff's
show is talking about the peoplethat he's lost, and he was
really close with Bob Saget andGilbert Godfrey.
There's a whole section of theshow that's about that.
He references John Stamos there.

We've even we've already said where we are many
times yeah, but it's just I.
I'm so glad how you've leanedinto cooking I mean, all I'm
doing is like grilling chickenbreasts, but you're barbecuing.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Leo bought this machine to clean the barbecue
grill and he looked like amishgiyah before I was koshering
the grill.

He looks like a crazy when they, when they, when you clean the
grill before, like passover, I'mlike whatever he loves to order
all this stuff on Amazon andall that stuff and Instagram.
(18:38):
It's a steam cleaner.
Okay, it's made for like.
I don't think it's made for abarbecue.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
It's made for anything.
According to how it wasadvertised to me, it worked.
It got a lot of that gunk offof it.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I know, but also I think a sponge would do the same
thing.
No, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
So then, a steamerer it should be.
So you like the chicken.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Everything you've made was so delicious, so good
and it's just.
And I, you know I don't mindthe money of eating out, but
just to not have to have awaitress asking me do you know
what you're having?
Do you want dessert?
Are you any drinks before youneed?
Anything else besides water andwe don't drink alcohol.
We don't like because notbecause we just don't drink
(19:22):
alcohol, because that's notwhere we're killing calories.
So whenever you tell a waitresswe're good with water, they're
so disappointed they want tobring you some margs, some
martinis.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yeah, because they want to check to be more
inflated exactly so we're likeno.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
But we order an extra four appetizers.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
We overorder all the time.
We overorder everything.
We just order every appetizer,especially room service.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
But we haven't hit the room service.
No, we've been good Men knew it.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Thank you, we've been good.
We'll give a plug out toAppetite.
Appetite is absolutely amazing,those of you who travel a lot
keep in mind.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Seth wrote.
I usually listen to the podcaston 1.5 speed, so hearing you
speak in normal speed is a bitweird.
That's hilarious, seth.
When I watch the videos back tofind the clips, I watch them at
1.5 or double speed so that Ican find them quicker.
Also, I want to apologizebecause, speaking of watching
(20:20):
the videos, I was listening tothe last episode and I am
acknowledging that it'ssomething that we are going to
work on.
I say the word like, way toomuch, like way, way, way too
much.
I don't, uh, you don't, I do,uh, I didn't realize it was such
(20:42):
a problem till I heard it back.
Um, I think that episode wasparticularly bad.
Like at some points it wasalmost unlistenable.
Did you cut him out?
Uh, no, I left it.
This was me listening to theepisode after it was already
live.
Oh and um, someone a while backwrote that I said like too much
and I kind of rolled my eyesand didn't pay attention.
But I want that person, ifthey're still a listener, to
(21:02):
know that, um, you were rightand I need to work on it, and
but it's hard when you'resitting here and there's cameras
and there's a light and you'retrying to think of things.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
But I don't think that has anything to do with any
of it.
People I have a sister thatuses that word a lot.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Kilo, no kilo, kilo so I switch it to kilo, like
that should I do that.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Kilo means like in hebrew.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
It's so annoying because they just put that is it
more annoying or less annoyingthan like when I'm like, when
I'm like, like, like, like no.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
When you like like, it's like, I'm like no, but like
it's quick, it's likeo isdoubled yeah you're slipping it
out.
There's two uh um syllables,two syllables and they and they
hold it.
They hold it so they can get totheir next thought.
That's in your bit, right,right.
So it's literally like a kilo.
(22:07):
She's a lot kilo.

, the way leo knows how to orderfood to the house, I should win
an award.
The way.

Yesterday, when we were coming back from
connecticut, we were on thehighway and I was looking at
your ways on the nav and I waslooking at my phone and I timed
it exactly to place the orderfrom this place that I know, so
that when we were entering ourlobby the delivery driver was
also entering the lobby.
He didn't even have to get inthe elevator, I just grabbed the
(28:52):

I will tell you something I'vebeen doing that will surprise
you.
We were working on a book andwe were given an instruction, um
, to start making a timeline ofmy life and um.
(35:23):
So I began with cue cards and,of course, the first one was
april 29, 1970.
I was born in tel aviv, in thehospital asuta, which used to be
across the street from myparent, my grandparents
apartment.
It since moved, but it was.
It was across the street frommy grandparents apartments.
(35:44):
That's what.
That's where I was born, okay,and then the next date I did was
June 24th 2015.
What the day we met, the day wemet.
It's a lot of space to fill in,I know, but then slowly, I uh,
so slowly.
I've been doing this on cuecards, with the knowledge when
the one that I'm just going tohand them all over to you and
(36:05):
you put them in an excel sheet.
They'll just put them all intoan excel sheet and the excel
sheet will bring it to the right.
I've been jumping all over theplaces.
December 18 19 what's anotherdate that you're putting in?
December 18, 19, 20, 2024?
The beacon theater oh, 30 yearsafter I began doing comedy,
(36:27):
five blocks down, I've beendoing all these little little
exercises, you know, and it'spretty cool.
I said, I said I I highlyrecommend it to anybody just to
make a timeline of your life,just like because it's pretty
cool.
I highly recommend it toanybody just to make a timeline
of your life.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yeah, because it's funny.
What will stick out to you aslike a milestone and then what
you have to fill in the blanksfor.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Right.
Right, you have things like9-11, which is, the whole world
experienced it, but the wholeworld didn't experience you
doing three shows in the beacon.
The whole world didn'texperience a loss of somebody or
whatever.
But it's just because I have notimeline in my head of shows.
Ever since COVID, nothing.
(37:07):
I can't figure out what anytimes are.
I have to look at my calendarconstantly.
It's so crazy.
What are they saying?
A lot of people are writing alot of things.
Have you or would you do a show?
Speaker 1 (37:21):
and we did that already when you're coming back
to toronto, oh, we just didtoronto in march what are they
right.

No, I'm not saying the name.
Okay, what are the five towns?
Again, hewlett, hewlett.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Wow, lawrence, woodmere, cedarhurst and
northwoodmere.
Are we correct?
I hope we're right.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Debbie says I have a tattoo that says bashir.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Oh, that's cute.
That's very nice.
Share.
Tell us what you think.
I'm trying to catch the Hebrewhere, Nun Samach.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
So wait, yeah, I guess the five towns is
interesting because it seemslike a very tiered structure of
like a subculture.
Oh, you're from the five towns.
Where are you from?
Where did you go to school?
Where?
Speaker 2 (39:01):
like it's very that, based on what I've overheard,
the five times when I grew up,which was in the very late 70s
and 80s in the early 1900s inthe gilded age.
In the gilded age, we had twohorses and uh, the five towns
are lawrence, cedarhurst,woodmere, inwood and the
(39:23):
hewlett's inwood.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
And what I've never heard before, I don't think
they're right.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
I don't think she's right.
Uh, I think, uh, whoever thatis marla marla schaefer shayfala
, I think you're wrong.
Mara marla shayfala, I thinkyou're wrong.
I don think you're wrong?
Speaker 1 (39:37):
I don't know.
We'll have to Google itafterwards, the Five Town was
just a beautiful area and allthat, and it was not no you
always tell me, like in Vogue,that I said, like again that
Vogue, the Dior ads would haveMilan, paris, woodmere and
Cedarhurst, cedarhurse orwhatever, because he does, a big
shopping area that, like allthese big fashion brands had
(39:59):
their like, were represented indifferent stores, like saint
michelle and all these otherplaces, and now it's just
rifka's wigs and and herman'ssuits and then and zamek's,
hollas and judaica.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
It just became a borough park, but a rich borough
park.
So there's some houses therethat are insane, insane.
And then there's, you know, theregular but the steebles.
There's like little synagoguesall over.
It's not the same five towns Igrew up in.
You know, 25 years ago, youknow, whenever I grew up there,
(40:37):
um, it just changed.
It became so religious, butlike there's the religious
annoying, and then there's thereligious like they're doing it
as a it's the part of the of the.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
What's the real estate rule?
It's two minutes two, twomillion or two minutes, oh two,
from the synagogue, so that yourshop is walkable right, it's
two minutes, two million, or twominutes from the synagogue so
that your shop is walkable.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
Right, it's kilo.
It's kilo.
Two miles, two miles, two milestwo million.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
So if you're within two miles of walking to the
synagogue, it's two milliondollars and you're walkable.
It's going to be no-transcript.
It starts at $4 million.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
No, I have no idea what, but there's a synagogue on
every corner and every personhas Friday night services in
their basement.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
Your parents' block is like one heartbeat away from
some.
Somewhat, it's already there.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
So my parents live in North Woodmere so there's an
Orthodox shul that's called orTorah where I used to go to,
which was amazing.
It was Rabbi Young Rice andthen they had a Sephardic minyan
in the basement who then tookover the whole thing.
But there's also a TempleHillel where I used to go to
also I was bar mitzvah there,which used to be conservative,
(41:56):
which I think now is.
Everything's becoming orthodoxthere.
Um, so I'm waiting for myparents block to really blow up
as, like where the people aregoing to want to have, like
where the orthodox are going towant to live.
They'll just come in like moneyboom, they just buy money boom,
they love it, they love it andthey're happy and they're just,
(42:18):
um, and they're uh, I remember Iwent to, uh, I, I went to
service.
I'm not going to mention anypart of anywhere this was, but
there's this one area that theymade a.
They bought a house and theymade it into a synagogue and
they bought a rabbi.
(42:39):
Now you're bringing in a rabbiand he knows that these people
are paying for him and all that,and they were so rude to the
rabbi that the rabbi actuallyquit on them.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
That's a Jewish thing .
Speaker 2 (42:51):
You guys are like not okay, you guys are just not
good people and I'm leaving.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
I'm leaving.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
I was there when the rabbi gave the sermon, I was
invited for Shabbat when he quitand I was like is this really
happening?
Speaker 1 (43:11):
Oh my, god, that's so cool.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
It was, yeah, mic drop, mic drop.
He said that this is my lastShabbat, not mic, because it was
on Shabbat.
Yeah, it's funny.
And he's like I'm out, I'm just.
You have to know when to leavethe party.
No, but you have to know whenthe party's not your jam.
Oh, trust me.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
It wasn't his jam.
Yeah, just by the way, if youguys are enjoying this at all,

Um, what questions do you guyshave?
Speaker 2 (44:28):
I have some.
I have some surprises for her.
Uh-huh, yeah, she's not, uh,that not going to be annoying
surprises or catching her offguard.
I think she's going to bepleasantly surprised with the
surprises I have for her.
But I mean, the work she's beendoing is amazing.
She's just been really doingMoshiach energy work, talking
(44:49):
about Jewish pride and creatinga voice, and especially from
people I guess the Hollywoodpeople who aren't, especially
from people like the Hollywoodpeople who aren't.
But she has been totally on theforefront of of the disaster
that's happening in Israel andthat alone, this will be your
(45:10):
third live on stage podcast.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
I can't wait because you did the 100th episode with
me and Periel.
You did the episode with OmerShemtov, sponsored by UJA, our
good friends.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
And this will be your third one at 92nd Street Y
again.
Do you like it?
I can't wait.
I love it.
It's so good Because I'mimagining like 300 people here,
which is like a room with us.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
It's so much easier.
It's so much easier whenthere's an audience.
It's so much easier.
It's so much easier whenthere's an audience.
It's so much when you feel it,when you hear it, when you.
Speaker 1 (45:43):
That's what I love.
I want to take the podcast onthe road.
I'm ready Because then we canrepeat markets.
Yes, would you guys come tothat?
Debra is an actual queen, saysRox.
Rita says she's courageous andamazing.
Yeah, if you look at her, shegets a lot of crap online,
deborah, but I don't think she'sstill neck out, I don't think
she cares she doesn't care, thatshe doesn't need to care
(46:06):
because she never she's done herthing like she's a and one of
the most syndicated shows of alltime.
Speaker 2 (46:13):
That's definitely a thing so she's solidified that
her but she's still doing.
She has a movie out now withrobert de niro.
She's an amazing actress.
She's yeah, no for sure stilldoing.
She quit, she's like she hit itand she's done.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
Yeah, but she has fu status, yes, where she can do
that.
I think a lot of people putpressure on hollywood people to
make these activist stance, andwhy aren't they doing it?
Why aren't they speaking up?
And I think they'reunderestimating how much that
(46:46):
could jeopardize theirlivelihood and I know that's not
the right thing and it's notthe most courageous thing, but
it is true and it's politics,and I think people would also be
surprised to know like how manycelebrities are living project
to project.
Speaker 2 (47:03):
Yes, so maybe that's why celebrities you guys think
are just killing.
It are broke as all hell.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
Yeah living project to project and there's people
around them telling them don'tstart talking about this right
now.
Um, so, someone like deborah,who's a leg, a legend and has so
many things under her belt andis just in a different
stratosphere, she can go out oninstagram and she can, and she
can, you know, make thesestances, which is good and can I
(47:35):
just tell you she's a funperson.
Speaker 2 (47:37):
Yeah, she's just a fun person.
I've met with her, I've we hungand she's just a fun person.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
She knows a good time , so she loves jay cohen rock
says no need to judge, but thereare people with fu money who
haven't spoken out.
Yeah, I just feel like some ofthose people who you think have
a few money don't.
Speaker 2 (47:57):
Yeah, they might not have the FU money, so whatever,
but it doesn't matter, we're nottalking about them.
Speaker 1 (48:03):

people.
So we got in there.
We got in there.
Yeah, it was a lot, but we gotin there and we're standing in
the part of the Broadway theaterbefore you go down the aisle to
your seats.
It's a kind of lobby.
It's like a little landing areabefore you go in and they sell
the merch Mezzanine?
Speaker 1 (13:16):

And let me tell you the bestpart about Jeff's show, which
was Speak into the mic there yougo.
The best part of Jeff's showbesides the show was when we
(14:07):
were standing with HarleyPasternak and he just says to us
you guys are looking good,whatever you're doing, keep it

Every celebrity coming over tosay hi, leo, would be like.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I could see from leo's face that they were
somebody he'd be like like thatwell and it was fun for me to
see john stamos because I grewup watching full house.
Full house was like one of thefew shows that I was allowed to
watch.
As we all know, I was relegatedto mostly VeggieTales and
Christian faith-based cartoons.
However, full House managed itsway into the lineup at one
(15:05):
point, and so I have Bob Saget,obviously, who's part of Jeff's
show.
That's why John Stamos wasthere, because part of Jeff's
show is talking about the peoplethat he's lost, and he was
really close with Bob Saget andGilbert Godfrey.
There's a whole section of theshow that's about that.
He references John Stamos there.

you on a journey.
It wasn't just stand-up, yet itwas funny and he brought you to
(16:04):
a point where it's like you'relike where is he going?
And boom, he let you off thehook with a joke and it was like
you know, it was great and Ican't explain how happy I am for
him.
Speaker 1 (16:20):

feat, A feat.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
The end upon Broadway , and everybody that we met came

times yeah, but it's just I.
I'm so glad how you've leanedinto cooking I mean, all I'm
doing is like grilling chickenbreasts, but you're barbecuing.
Speaker 2 (18:16):

He looks like a crazy when they, when they, when you clean the
grill before, like passover, I'mlike whatever he loves to order
all this stuff on Amazon andall that stuff and Instagram.

Okay, it's made for like.
I don't think it's made for abarbecue.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
It's made for anything.
According to how it wasadvertised to me, it worked.
It got a lot of that gunk offof it.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I know, but also I think a sponge would do the same
thing.
No, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
So then, a steamerer it should be.
So you like the chicken.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Everything you've made was so delicious, so good
and it's just.
And I, you know I don't mindthe money of eating out, but
just to not have to have awaitress asking me do you know
what you're having?
Do you want dessert?
Are you any drinks before youneed?
Anything else besides water andwe don't drink alcohol.
We don't like because notbecause we just don't drink
(19:22):
alcohol, because that's notwhere we're killing calories.
So whenever you tell a waitresswe're good with water, they're
so disappointed they want tobring you some margs, some
martinis.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yeah, because they want to check to be more
inflated exactly so we're likeno.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
But we order an extra four appetizers.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
We overorder all the time.
We overorder everything.

But we haven't hit the room service.
No, we've been good Men knew it.

Appetite is absolutely amazing,those of you who travel a lot
keep in mind.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Seth wrote.
I usually listen to the podcaston 1.5 speed, so hearing you
speak in normal speed is a bitweird.
That's hilarious, seth.
When I watch the videos back tofind the clips, I watch them at
1.5 or double speed so that Ican find them quicker.
Also, I want to apologizebecause, speaking of watching
(20:20):
the videos, I was listening tothe last episode and I am
acknowledging that it'ssomething that we are going to
work on.
I say the word like, way toomuch, like way, way, way too
much.
I don't, uh, you don't, I do,uh, I didn't realize it was such
(20:42):
a problem till I heard it back.
Um, I think that episode wasparticularly bad.
Like at some points it wasalmost unlistenable.
Did you cut him out?
Uh, no, I left it.

Yesterday, when we were coming back from
connecticut, we were on thehighway and I was looking at
your ways on the nav and I waslooking at my phone and I timed
it exactly to place the orderfrom this place that I know, so
that when we were entering ourlobby the delivery driver was
also entering the lobby.
He didn't even have to get inthe elevator, I just grabbed the
(28:52):

I will tell you something I'vebeen doing that will surprise
you.
We were working on a book andwe were given an instruction, um
, to start making a timeline ofmy life and um.
(35:23):
So I began with cue cards and,of course, the first one was
april 29, 1970.
I was born in tel aviv, in thehospital asuta, which used to be
across the street from myparent, my grandparents
apartment.
It since moved, but it was.
It was across the street frommy grandparents apartments.
(35:44):
That's what.
That's where I was born, okay,and then the next date I did was
June 24th 2015.
What the day we met, the day wemet.
It's a lot of space to fill in,I know, but then slowly, I uh,
so slowly.
I've been doing this on cuecards, with the knowledge when
the one that I'm just going tohand them all over to you and
(36:05):
you put them in an excel sheet.
They'll just put them all intoan excel sheet and the excel
sheet will bring it to the right.
I've been jumping all over theplaces.
December 18 19 what's anotherdate that you're putting in?
December 18, 19, 20, 2024?
The beacon theater oh, 30 yearsafter I began doing comedy,
(36:27):
five blocks down, I've beendoing all these little little
exercises, you know, and it'spretty cool.
I said, I said I I highlyrecommend it to anybody just to
make a timeline of your life,just like because it's pretty
cool.
I highly recommend it toanybody just to make a timeline
of your life.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yeah, because it's funny.
What will stick out to you aslike a milestone and then what
you have to fill in the blanksfor.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Right.
Right, you have things like9-11, which is, the whole world
experienced it, but the wholeworld didn't experience you
doing three shows in the beacon.
The whole world didn'texperience a loss of somebody or
whatever.
But it's just because I have notimeline in my head of shows.
Ever since COVID, nothing.
(37:07):
I can't figure out what anytimes are.
I have to look at my calendarconstantly.
It's so crazy.
What are they saying?
A lot of people are writing alot of things.
Have you or would you do a show?
Speaker 1 (37:21):
and we did that already when you're coming back
to toronto, oh, we just didtoronto in march what are they
right.

Okay, what are the five towns?
Again, hewlett, hewlett.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Wow, lawrence, woodmere, cedarhurst and
northwoodmere.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Debbie says I have a tattoo that says bashir.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Oh, that's cute.
That's very nice.
Share.
Tell us what you think.
I'm trying to catch the Hebrewhere, Nun Samach.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
So wait, yeah, I guess the five towns is
interesting because it seemslike a very tiered structure of
like a subculture.
Oh, you're from the five towns.
Where are you from?
Where did you go to school?
Where?
Speaker 2 (39:01):
like it's very that, based on what I've overheard,
the five times when I grew up,which was in the very late 70s
and 80s in the early 1900s inthe gilded age.
In the gilded age, we had twohorses and uh, the five towns
are lawrence, cedarhurst,woodmere, inwood and the
(39:23):
hewlett's inwood.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
And what I've never heard before, I don't think
they're right.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
I don't think she's right.
Uh, I think, uh, whoever thatis marla marla schaefer shayfala
, I think you're wrong.
Mara marla shayfala, I thinkyou're wrong.
I don think you're wrong?
Speaker 1 (39:37):
I don't know.
We'll have to Google itafterwards, the Five Town was
just a beautiful area and allthat, and it was not no you
always tell me, like in Vogue,that I said, like again that
Vogue, the Dior ads would haveMilan, paris, woodmere and
Cedarhurst, cedarhurse orwhatever, because he does, a big
shopping area that, like allthese big fashion brands had
(39:59):
their like, were represented indifferent stores, like saint
michelle and all these otherplaces, and now it's just
rifka's wigs and and herman'ssuits and then and zamek's,
hollas and judaica.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
It just became a borough park, but a rich borough
park.
So there's some houses therethat are insane, insane.
And then there's, you know, theregular but the steebles.
There's like little synagoguesall over.
It's not the same five towns Igrew up in.
You know, 25 years ago, youknow, whenever I grew up there,
(40:37):
um, it just changed.
It became so religious, butlike there's the religious
annoying, and then there's thereligious like they're doing it
as a it's the part of the of the.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
What's the real estate rule?
It's two minutes two, twomillion or two minutes, oh two,
from the synagogue, so that yourshop is walkable right, it's
two minutes, two million, or twominutes from the synagogue so
that your shop is walkable.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
Right, it's kilo.
It's kilo.
Two miles, two miles, two milestwo million.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
So if you're within two miles of walking to the
synagogue, it's two milliondollars and you're walkable.
It's going to be no-transcript.
It starts at $4 million.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
No, I have no idea what, but there's a synagogue on
every corner and every personhas Friday night services in
their basement.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
Your parents' block is like one heartbeat away from
some.
Somewhat, it's already there.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
So my parents live in North Woodmere so there's an
Orthodox shul that's called orTorah where I used to go to,
which was amazing.
It was Rabbi Young Rice andthen they had a Sephardic minyan
in the basement who then tookover the whole thing.
But there's also a TempleHillel where I used to go to
also I was bar mitzvah there,which used to be conservative,
(41:56):
which I think now is.
Everything's becoming orthodoxthere.
Um, so I'm waiting for myparents block to really blow up
as, like where the people aregoing to want to have, like
where the orthodox are going towant to live.
They'll just come in like moneyboom, they just buy money boom,
they love it, they love it andthey're happy and they're just,
(42:18):
um, and they're uh, I remember Iwent to, uh, I, I went to
service.
I'm not going to mention anypart of anywhere this was, but
there's this one area that theymade a.
They bought a house and theymade it into a synagogue and
they bought a rabbi.
(42:39):
Now you're bringing in a rabbiand he knows that these people
are paying for him and all that,and they were so rude to the
rabbi that the rabbi actuallyquit on them.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
That's a Jewish thing .
Speaker 2 (42:51):
You guys are like not okay, you guys are just not
good people and I'm leaving.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
I'm leaving.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
I was there when the rabbi gave the sermon, I was
invited for Shabbat when he quitand I was like is this really
happening?
Speaker 1 (43:11):
Oh my, god, that's so cool.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
It was, yeah, mic drop, mic drop.
He said that this is my lastShabbat, not mic, because it was
on Shabbat.
Yeah, it's funny.
And he's like I'm out, I'm just.
You have to know when to leavethe party.
No, but you have to know whenthe party's not your jam.

She's just been really doingMoshiach energy work, talking
(44:49):
about Jewish pride and creatinga voice, and especially from

the most syndicated shows of alltime.

that.
I think a lot of people putpressure on hollywood people to
make these activist stance, andwhy aren't they doing it?
Why aren't they speaking up?
And I think they'reunderestimating how much that

could jeopardize theirlivelihood and I know that's not
the right thing and it's notthe most courageous thing, but
it is true and it's politics,and I think people would also be
surprised to know like how manycelebrities are living project
to project.

stratosphere, she can go out oninstagram and she can, and she
