00:00:53.920 -->
00:00:56.159There's a cinnamon babka, which was unbelievable.
00:00:56.399 -->
00:01:01.280The density was picky about 10 out of 10, 10 out of 10, and also chocolate, which I didn't taste yet.
00:01:01.600 -->
00:01:04.560Locks and bagels, and it's just so sweet.

00:01:06.079What what a nice welcome.
00:01:06.239 -->
00:01:15.519No, it's Mashiach Energy because the studio we usually record out of downtown sent an email being like, Hi, we're getting kicked out of our space, like some drama with the landlord.
00:01:15.599 -->
00:01:17.760And I was like, oh no, where are we gonna record?
00:01:17.840 -->
00:01:23.680And then that same week, the Center for Jewish History reached out being like, We built out a whole podcast studio, please come use it.
00:01:24.079 -->
00:01:28.719It's for Moshiach energy because I met Lucy, who I have no idea what her title is.
00:01:28.799 -->
00:01:30.400They're everybody has titles.
00:01:30.799 -->
00:01:33.120You met Lucy just like she came up to you at a coffee shop.
00:01:33.280 -->
00:01:36.640She I was in a coffee shop down that down the block, and she goes, Are you Modi?
00:01:36.879 -->
00:01:37.599I go, Yes.
00:01:37.840 -->
00:01:41.040And I gave her and whoever she was with a yarmulke.
00:01:41.200 -->
00:01:49.680And then I she goes, We're the center, and I said, Oh, it's I I we began to talk, and she said, Come, we can do a podcast, and and she's amazing.
00:01:49.760 -->
00:01:53.760And uh and that it's machiach energy, things just happen, things just aligned and here we are.
00:01:53.920 -->
00:01:55.200Things aligned, and here we are.
00:01:55.760 -->
00:02:01.680And um, and we are like on the precipice of of the high holidays.
00:02:02.159 -->
00:02:02.879Do you feel it?
00:02:03.120 -->
00:02:06.480Well, you well, you you hear it every morning when I blow the chauffeur on the apartment.
00:02:07.040 -->
00:02:08.159That is correct.
00:02:08.879 -->
00:02:17.039Um it's an interesting time because it's also not to make it about me, but I will the ramp up to my birthday, the high holidays, usually.
00:02:17.199 -->
00:02:18.719It is, it is so there's a lot going on.
00:02:18.960 -->
00:02:19.520That's right.
00:02:19.599 -->
00:02:22.080Um it's a very special time, yeah.
00:02:22.639 -->
00:02:25.520But I I want to talk about how God definitely speaks to us.
00:02:25.599 -->
00:02:28.479Like when we met Lucy and she set this whole thing up, yeah.
00:02:28.800 -->
00:02:31.360But we we weren't Fire Island for uh a week.
00:02:31.599 -->
00:02:33.039But we're supposed to be there for a week.

00:02:34.080Okay, right?
00:02:34.479 -->
00:02:40.800Um so just so people know, what most podcasters only meet when they podcast.
00:02:41.039 -->
00:02:46.319Leo Leo and I live every minute of our lives together, and then we sit down to podcast.
00:02:46.560 -->
00:02:49.840So it's kind of like when we regroup on what has happened in our lives.
00:02:50.240 -->
00:02:55.759But we we we had a week in Fire Island with Chef Jay Cohn and a few other friends.
00:02:55.919 -->
00:02:56.960It was a last-minute thing.
00:02:57.039 -->
00:02:58.479It's not the house we usually go to.
00:02:58.639 -->
00:03:07.599It was somebody's house that just said to our friend, you can use our house, rent it out from us, and they didn't change anything to make it a rentable property.
00:03:08.000 -->
00:03:16.800We were gonna be there for a Thursday to Thursday, and we ended up um we had a great weekend, amazing weekend, a fun weekend.
00:03:16.879 -->
00:03:25.120And on Sunday, right before the last ferry, the air conditioning in our We were like in the pool house, so we had a separate air conditioner.
00:03:25.360 -->
00:03:26.400Yeah, we broke.
00:03:26.960 -->
00:03:34.639So I was out, I was uh, I was with a with a friend on the island doing some uh at the tea, at the bar, whatever it was called.
00:03:35.680 -->
00:03:40.240I was socializing, and I get a text from Leo, come home, there's no air conditioning.
00:03:40.400 -->
00:03:44.000I come back and I see you sitting in our room, and it was like a sauna.
00:03:44.560 -->
00:03:47.360And uh, and we packed everything in two seconds.
00:03:47.840 -->
00:03:50.639I checked the it was eight fifty, it was 1015 when I called you.
00:03:50.800 -->
00:03:53.919The last ferry was at
10:30, and we made the last ferry.
00:03:54.159 -->
00:03:57.919We got on the last ferry into our car and went to the Connecticut home.
00:03:58.080 -->
00:04:03.919It God literally said to us, Enough, you had a good weekend, you don't need to be here for any more time.
00:04:04.159 -->
00:04:06.639And there was there was a ferry, a 1030 ferry.
00:04:06.719 -->
00:04:12.319It was just don't you feel like I feel like when God speaks to me, that's that's how he speaks to us.
00:04:12.719 -->
00:04:13.199You had enough.
00:04:13.280 -->
00:04:17.680This go and we went to our house in Connecticut, and my niece came up with her baby.
00:04:18.079 -->
00:04:20.639Obsessed with the baby, and Leo's obsessed with this baby.
00:04:21.040 -->
00:04:21.519Obsessed.
00:04:21.680 -->
00:04:24.639Yeah, we we love to microdose a baby.
00:04:25.839 -->
00:04:30.480No, no, no, no need to have one of your own, just just microdose a baby.
00:04:30.800 -->
00:04:35.600Um, and that was that's kind of like where we've been since the last time we podcasted, no?
00:04:35.839 -->
00:04:40.639Yeah, so you also did a a show for the center, Jewish center of East Hampton.
00:04:40.800 -->
00:04:44.240Oh, that was fun, and um, that was really fun, beautiful space.
00:04:44.560 -->
00:04:57.839And so we were out in the Hamptons for a day and a half, and um there's just a funny moment when you do these synagogue gigs because usually there's no real green room, so to speak.
00:04:58.000 -->
00:05:06.959So they stick you in like a study or the rabbi's office or some sort of room, and so I'm always with you, and there's always a big bookcase.
00:05:07.199 -->
00:05:12.879Like sometimes it's a literal library, like collection of books, sometimes it's just like a personal reading bookcase.
00:05:13.040 -->
00:05:14.319There's always tons of books.
00:05:14.399 -->
00:05:18.480We're in a rabbi study, wall of books, and I always have like an hour to kill.
00:05:18.560 -->
00:05:19.839We do sound check, this and that.
00:05:19.920 -->
00:05:21.120Okay, and now the show's in an hour.
00:05:21.199 -->
00:05:22.240What am I doing?
00:05:22.480 -->
00:05:24.240I always look through the books.
00:05:24.319 -->
00:05:24.639Yep.
00:05:24.879 -->
00:05:25.279Always.
00:05:25.360 -->
00:05:28.160I'm always scanning through what's in here, what's in here.
00:05:28.240 -->
00:05:31.040And a lot of it I know, a lot of it I'm familiar with.
00:05:31.279 -->
00:05:41.040I'm gonna interrupt right now and say that for some reason he always grabs a book that is like the the craziest thing that you could imagine.
00:05:41.199 -->
00:05:45.040It's not like, hey, here's Shabbat and here's the two.
00:05:45.199 -->
00:05:49.680He grabs I remember one time he grabbed the book and goes, Modi, why would the rabbit need to check the underwear?
00:05:49.839 -->
00:05:50.160Oh yeah.
00:05:50.319 -->
00:05:52.800I'm like, oh my god, I have to explain that to him now.
00:05:52.959 -->
00:05:53.680Oh god, no.
00:05:53.920 -->
00:05:56.879Yeah, so I always I think the game is I'm always trying to find that book.
00:05:57.040 -->
00:05:57.600Right.
00:05:57.920 -->
00:06:12.399And um, but in the in the process of finding that book, I always see at least one, and I don't know what the joke is yet, but there's always one book that's like the title is something along the lines of, and maybe there is no god.
00:06:12.560 -->
00:06:12.879Okay.
00:06:13.600 -->
00:06:28.720It's always some rabbi wrote wrote a book that's like God question mark, and that is so indicative of Judaism, just like the questioning and like the maybe I you never see that in a priest's office.
00:06:28.800 -->
00:06:34.079No, like, and maybe there's no God, but that's okay because this is what we're doing to make our time here better.
00:06:34.319 -->
00:06:35.120Do you know what I'm talking about?
00:06:35.199 -->
00:06:36.319I know it's funny.
00:06:36.560 -->
00:06:38.480I'm telling you, it's hysterical that there's always that book.
00:06:38.879 -->
00:06:39.519There's always that book.
00:06:39.680 -->
00:06:44.000Yeah, and everybody knows you've all seen those books, you know, and it it's just the titles.
00:06:44.079 -->
00:06:47.839It's the titles uh is God is is man god is God for man?
00:06:48.399 -->
00:06:49.839Those I know all those books.
00:06:50.000 -->
00:06:54.000But what when you grab the ones that are like, why would the woman need to do that?
00:06:54.879 -->
00:06:55.040Nida.
00:06:55.920 -->
00:06:58.879Oh, is that what I gotta talk to you about before I do an hour and a half?
00:06:59.120 -->
00:07:04.560I've already gotten all of that out of the way, but I'm just searching for more deeper and deeper lore.
00:07:04.959 -->
00:07:10.560Synagogue gigs now have become like it's either I'm Joel Olstein in front of 2,000 people.
00:07:10.959 -->
00:07:13.199Or this was like a love.
00:07:14.000 -->
00:07:15.839We have one coming up in Jersey soon, but yeah.
00:07:16.079 -->
00:07:17.279Wow, I love it.
00:07:17.360 -->
00:07:21.600But this was like 300 people in the most gorgeous building you've seen.
00:07:21.680 -->
00:07:28.959It's this, those of you who've been to the Hamptons, and you drive all the way down 27, which is uh Sunrise High, whatever that is.
00:07:29.120 -->
00:07:33.680Um, before you make that left turn to East Hampton, there's this stunning synagogue.
00:07:33.839 -->
00:07:38.480Uh the Jewish centered glass and wooden made by this architect named Jaffe.
00:07:38.560 -->

00:07:43.680We go in there, and it's super.
00:07:45.199 -->
00:07:47.519It wasn't like this massive event.
00:07:47.680 -->
00:07:52.319It was like whoever's a member and whoever's paying and coming, and like the There were some names in the front row.

00:07:58.240I will not name them.
00:07:58.720 -->
00:08:01.439It's like we we walk in and the rabbi who was so sweet.

00:09:44.399 -->
00:09:46.159Me and three professional comedians.
00:09:46.320 -->

00:09:52.480 -->
00:09:58.159When you're with a group of comedians and you were, I was getting laughs from both of them, and there were good laughs, but you I was slaying it.
00:09:58.559 -->
00:10:00.080But you're not a civilian.
00:10:00.320 -->

00:10:04.639I'm not a comic.
00:10:04.960 -->
00:10:11.279To the point where you've written so many punchlines for me that you've had punchline tattooed on your shoulder.
00:10:11.519 -->
00:10:13.200I do have a tattoo that says punchline, yeah.
00:10:13.360 -->

00:10:38.480And Des has a brand new special out.
00:10:38.639 -->
00:10:39.919Um Bridge and Tunnel.
00:10:40.159 -->
00:10:42.240It's on Hulu, and he's hysterical.
00:10:42.480 -->
00:10:46.639He's Irish and speaks Mandarin Chinese, and it's insane to watch.
00:10:47.200 -->
00:10:47.759I've seen it.
00:10:48.240 -->
00:10:54.000When they when they bought their house in um in West Hampton, I went with him to sign some documents.
00:10:54.159 -->
00:11:00.399We went to get it notarized in this um in this pharmacy in our neighborhood in the Lower East Side.
00:11:00.480 -->
00:11:02.399There was a ch a full Chinese pharmacy.
00:11:02.480 -->
00:11:04.879Everything is in Chinese, there's not one word written in English.
00:11:05.039 -->
00:11:15.840And he walks in there and just you have to say he's the whitest guy you ever saw, white hair, but like he just comes in and he just goes right into Chinese, and she goes, ah, wah, wah, wah, wait.
00:11:16.720 -->
00:11:17.759And then we had it signed.
00:11:18.000 -->
00:11:25.279And it was just, and I'm like, I don't know what I'm signing, but it was it was so much fun to to to watch him speak Mandarin Chinese.
00:11:25.440 -->
00:11:27.200It's more fun to make him laugh, which I did.
00:11:27.360 -->
00:11:27.600Yeah.
00:11:27.759 -->
00:11:28.799Um, I have a question for you.
00:11:29.039 -->
00:11:29.519Go ahead.
00:11:29.840 -->
00:11:32.639Do you say shma before bed?
00:11:32.799 -->
00:11:33.440Yeah.
00:11:33.919 -->
00:11:34.399Ever?
00:11:34.559 -->
00:11:36.080So you specifically do?
00:11:36.240 -->
00:11:37.679Uh every night.
00:11:38.159 -->
00:11:40.080Don't you see me mumbling before I go to bed?
00:11:40.240 -->
00:11:41.120You're always mumbling.
00:11:41.279 -->
00:11:41.440Yeah.
00:11:41.600 -->
00:11:45.519So I'm always, yeah, but that's the but that's one of the night mumbles.
00:11:46.080 -->
00:11:47.759You always every night do it.
00:11:47.840 -->
00:11:50.000Like when you're in the bed, you do it.
00:11:50.320 -->
00:11:56.480When I get in the bed, there's a shmah, I sit down the buckoh, I say, I say a whole bunch of prayers before I go before I go to bed.
00:11:56.720 -->
00:12:01.120And then the thoughts, and then and the main prayers, please God, let the sleeping pills hit.
00:12:01.279 -->
00:12:02.559Please, God, let one of these pills.
00:12:03.120 -->
00:12:03.759I'm shook of it.
00:12:03.919 -->
00:12:08.320Because you live for someone with for 11 years and you think you know everything about them.
00:12:08.559 -->
00:12:08.960Yeah.
00:12:09.120 -->
00:12:13.440I didn't know that you say the shmah before like as you get in the actual bed.
00:12:13.759 -->
00:12:14.559A hundred percent.
00:12:14.720 -->
00:12:35.440And then I saw a TikTok or an Instagram or something, and these two girls were traveling together, and they were like sharing a hotel room, and it said something like, When you're traveling with your Jewish friend, and she turns over to the other, like the other bed, and she goes, 'Are you gonna say shmah?' And then they like she was like, 'Of course I'm gonna say sh'hab.' And like, it was a joke, but I was like, 'Oh, I don't know if Modi does that.
00:12:35.600 -->
00:12:36.000Yes.
00:12:36.240 -->
00:12:37.120Modi does that.
00:12:37.519 -->
00:12:40.320For a humble bunch of reasons.' It's it's it's it's also why.
00:12:40.720 -->
00:12:43.600Isn't the Shmah when are you supposed to say it?
00:12:43.840 -->
00:12:50.080The Shema, by the way, those of you who don't know, it's it's it's the hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
00:12:50.240 -->
00:12:55.519Shma is Sarela Donaylohina Donay Chad, which is the most important thing, I think, in the Torah.
00:12:55.679 -->
00:13:03.120Um because it's telling you that there is that the the God isn't um one person up there.
00:13:03.279 -->
00:13:05.039God is one, it's oneness.
00:13:05.120 -->
00:13:09.039That is God, not a person up there going, you were good, you were bad, you get this, you get that.
00:13:09.200 -->
00:13:12.720So it's one of the prayers, but it's also one of the prayers you say before you die.
00:13:13.039 -->
00:13:15.279That's what I was yeah, that's what I know.
00:13:15.519 -->
00:13:21.039So I didn't know you saying is a it's considered a little bit a microdosing death.
00:13:21.200 -->
00:13:22.080A micro-dosing death.
00:13:22.399 -->
00:13:22.799Not no.
00:13:22.960 -->
00:13:23.440Not no.
00:13:23.519 -->
00:13:24.320I just know.
00:13:24.480 -->
00:13:29.519And I'm really just wishing I'm just gonna get to it a little quicker, slide into it.
00:13:29.679 -->
00:13:34.639If there's a little pill, that's a little I mean it's not not yeah, I totally get that makes sense.
00:13:34.879 -->
00:13:35.120Yeah.
00:13:35.200 -->
00:13:41.360So you say that prayer, and then I say the anabakh, and I say two other And which one's an I know it, but like what is Anabakoh again?
00:13:41.519 -->
00:13:46.480Anabakok is uh is it's like a God's name, it's 42 words, seven lines.
00:13:46.639 -->
00:13:50.320Um how long thir how long does it take you to say Shmah Anabakoh?
00:13:50.480 -->
00:13:51.279Like 30 seconds?
00:13:52.559 -->
00:13:53.759Very quickly, yeah.
00:13:54.000 -->
00:13:55.679Well, you say it with consciousness.
00:13:55.919 -->
00:14:00.480You say, I'm I'm about to die for a little while, so let's let's do that, let's focus on that.
00:14:00.720 -->
00:14:02.000And what's the one you say before I go to the book?
00:14:02.559 -->
00:14:04.399I say a whole bunch of things before before I go to bed.
00:14:04.799 -->
00:14:05.279I'm all ears.
00:14:06.799 -->
00:14:12.080I literally did not know this about my husband, who I've lived with for 11 years, that you do this in bed next to you.
00:14:12.320 -->
00:14:14.159You see mumbling all day long before I move.
00:14:14.720 -->
00:14:17.759You're always mumbling, and sometimes you're just rehearsing jokes in your head.
00:14:18.080 -->
00:14:19.679So I don't know what's happening.

00:16:34.240 -->
00:16:38.399Please let's just let the thoughts stop for just a minute.
00:16:38.639 -->
00:16:45.200Um, but when you're in your conscious, when you're in your sleep stage, that's when you really can create and manifest.
00:16:45.440 -->
00:16:46.720And you said sleep state.

00:16:56.960 -->

00:16:59.120 -->
00:17:03.919Um I don't know that much, but I think sometimes when I wake up and I tell you I had a bad dream, you ask me what time I had it.

00:17:04.720 -->
00:17:08.160If you had the dream at like three, four o'clock, yes, it's a real dream.

00:18:41.920Bye.
00:18:43.119 -->
00:18:51.119Um the quote is, are you climbing this mountain for the world to see or for you to see the world?
00:18:51.759 -->
00:18:52.400Wow.
00:18:52.880 -->
00:18:59.920Are you climbing this mountain for the world to see you climbing the mountain or are you climbing it to see the world?
00:19:00.240 -->
00:19:00.799Wow.
00:19:01.359 -->
00:19:04.240So it can be applied to a lot of things, I feel like.
00:19:05.680 -->
00:19:12.720But first of all, it's it's both because you I'm climbing the mountain for the world to see, so that they know that they can also climb this mountain.
00:19:13.359 -->
00:19:13.680Yeah.
00:19:13.839 -->
00:19:14.240Ugh.
00:19:14.400 -->
00:19:14.640Oh.
00:19:14.880 -->
00:19:17.599Oh, if I can have a mountain, so can they.
00:19:18.480 -->
00:19:18.799Now.
00:19:19.279 -->
00:19:19.440Okay.
00:19:19.920 -->
00:19:30.000So yeah, when I so like the comedians that we invited to go see me in Radio City Music Hall, I invited them there so that they have a mountain in sight.
00:19:30.240 -->
00:19:34.960That they're not like just my goal is to get uh pass at the comedy cellar.
00:19:35.039 -->
00:19:35.519No, no, no.
00:19:35.599 -->
00:19:37.039Your goal is to be doing this.
00:19:37.200 -->
00:19:39.440So that's one of the things with that quote.
00:19:39.519 -->
00:19:41.359And then the other part of that quote was what?
00:19:41.839 -->
00:19:45.200Are you climbing this mountain for the world to see or for you to see the world?
00:19:45.440 -->
00:19:47.680And then that's obvious too, to see the world too.
00:19:47.759 -->
00:19:50.160We've traveled you when we first met.
00:19:50.720 -->
00:19:52.240I hate traveling.
00:19:52.480 -->
00:19:59.599I could if I could just live in New York and do shows in the area here, go to my own synagogue, my own gym, sleep in my own bed, you know that I would do that.
00:19:59.839 -->
00:20:02.079But you said you put out there that you want to travel.
00:20:02.319 -->
00:20:02.960Sure, it's my fault.
00:20:03.279 -->
00:20:05.680No, no, and and and and here you go.
00:20:05.839 -->
00:20:06.720We're traveling.
00:20:06.960 -->
00:20:15.279We've seen through comedy, we've seen every country in Europe, Australia, Israel, um South America.
00:20:15.440 -->
00:20:16.480We've been all over the world.
00:20:16.559 -->
00:20:19.599So which we're climbing this mountain to see the world too.
00:20:20.000 -->
00:20:22.319And the more I see the world, the more I love New York.
00:20:22.559 -->
00:20:26.799I think this was also on my list of things that I wanted to give a shout out to Eschel.
00:20:27.039 -->
00:20:28.640We went to an event for them on Monday.
00:20:28.720 -->
00:20:30.400They invited them to their summer soiree.
00:20:30.480 -->
00:20:39.359Eschel is an organization providing support for LGBTQ Orthodox youth and young adults, and they do all sorts of programming.
00:20:39.440 -->
00:20:42.880They have a warm line, I think they call it, a support phone line.
00:20:42.960 -->
00:20:44.319They have a drop-in center.
00:20:44.480 -->
00:20:45.920I think they do really amazing work.
00:20:46.000 -->
00:20:46.720They're really sweet.
00:20:46.799 -->
00:20:52.160We actually had Miriam on one of the podcast episodes, uh, who is in charge of it.
00:20:52.400 -->
00:21:04.640But I I think that ties in, Eschel, when we were there and all these kids-ish, young people seeing you, that you climbed the mountain for them to see, yeah, in a way.
00:21:06.079 -->
00:21:08.880These are like young Jewish, gay people.
00:21:09.279 -->
00:21:12.319One of the people that told me that um it was funny.
00:21:12.559 -->
00:21:22.079Most people tell me things like um, you know, I I they say they say, I'm gay, and my parents loved you, and then when they found out you were gay, they were kind of more accepting of me.
00:21:22.400 -->
00:21:25.279This one kid was a little self-hating.
00:21:25.759 -->
00:21:30.559And his parents said, You should see this comedian, he's gay and he's he's out and he's Jewish and the whole thing.
00:21:30.640 -->
00:21:31.680And doesn't hate himself.
00:21:31.920 -->
00:21:39.599And he goes, Ugh, I'm gonna watch this comic who's probably self-deprecating and hating himself, and then he saw my act, and so it's not, and he goes, It changed him a lot.
00:21:39.920 -->
00:21:46.160So I guess the answer uh about the quote or kind of the analysis of the quote is that sometimes it's both.
00:21:47.039 -->
00:21:47.519Yes.
00:21:48.000 -->
00:21:48.480Yes.
00:21:49.440 -->
00:21:49.759Yeah.
00:21:50.319 -->
00:21:56.240I think it applies to struggles that we challenges and struggles that a lot of times are self inflicted too.
00:21:56.960 -->
00:21:59.839Like, are you struggling with this so that you could say you're struggling with it?
00:22:00.160 -->
00:22:02.400Or are you struggling with it because it's an actual challenge?
00:22:03.039 -->
00:22:04.480Some people latch onto that, you know?
00:22:04.720 -->
00:22:05.200Yeah.
00:22:05.839 -->
00:22:07.680Um yes.
00:22:08.160 -->
00:22:08.559Yeah.
00:22:09.440 -->
00:22:12.240And they let their struggles define them.
00:22:14.000 -->
00:22:16.000Your hair looks so good in this lighting.
00:22:16.319 -->
00:22:18.079I can't believe how good your hair looks.
00:22:18.240 -->
00:22:19.039It's insane.
00:22:19.279 -->
00:22:20.400Oh the way they lit.
00:22:20.640 -->
00:22:21.599Do I look that good or no?
00:22:21.839 -->
00:22:22.640You look amazing.
00:22:22.799 -->
00:22:29.759So we're here at the Center for Jewish History, who again have invited us into this beautiful state-of-the-art space.
00:22:29.839 -->
00:22:31.200There's a staff here that is so sweet.
00:22:31.440 -->
00:22:31.839So sweet.
00:22:32.319 -->
00:22:33.920We are so appreciative to be here.
00:22:34.079 -->
00:22:34.240Yeah.
00:22:34.480 -->
00:22:39.359And one of the things that they have here at the center are professional genealogists.
00:22:39.519 -->
00:22:40.000Yes.
00:22:40.240 -->
00:22:47.519And we are going to do some sort of programming on the episode, diving into Modi's family history, maybe diving into my history.
00:22:47.680 -->
00:22:58.319And I wanted to give a shout out to uh Judith Jackson, who left us a voice note on our Speakpipe page, which is linked in the Instagram for AHM podcast.
00:22:58.400 -->
00:23:02.880If you go to the bio, there's a link, and you can leave us a voicemail and it goes right to my email.
00:23:03.039 -->
00:23:17.759Um so Judith Jackson left a voice note saying something that my father has told us always, even before I met you, that the way my last name is spelled from Spain indicates that maybe our family went into hiding during the Inquisition.
00:23:18.000 -->
00:23:20.160So I maybe have more Jewish in there than we think.
00:23:20.319 -->
00:23:24.319And we're hopefully gonna dive into that with some professional genealogists.
00:23:24.559 -->
00:23:28.000Because Judith, Judith, who left the notes, said she's a she's a genealogist.
00:23:28.160 -->
00:23:29.359That's what she does.
00:23:29.759 -->
00:23:33.440Now, genealogists is that someone that rubs the bottle and the thing comes out?
00:23:33.680 -->
00:23:34.319What was it?
00:23:34.880 -->
00:23:36.160I'm kidding, folks.
00:23:36.319 -->
00:23:38.720Folks, try the veal, I'll be here all week.
00:23:39.039 -->
00:23:41.119So what my question is, depending on what the results are.
00:23:41.440 -->
00:23:42.640Nothing on the genealogist bar.
00:23:43.039 -->
00:23:43.920I'm not giving it to you.
00:23:44.640 -->
00:23:47.119Um when are we doing my bar mitzvah?
00:23:47.200 -->
00:23:47.759Where are we doing it?
00:23:47.920 -->
00:23:50.079You tell me what you want to go to Israel and do your bar mitzvah?
00:23:50.160 -->
00:23:50.880I'm at the cotel?
00:23:51.279 -->
00:23:51.599No.
00:23:52.079 -->
00:23:53.839You're thinking more Tuscany.
00:23:56.319 -->
00:23:58.240I want a destination bar mitzvah.
00:23:58.400 -->
00:23:58.640Where?
00:23:58.799 -->
00:23:59.440I don't know.
00:23:59.680 -->
00:24:00.400Where should Leo?
00:24:00.640 -->
00:24:03.759Let us know where you think Leo should have his bar mitzvah.
00:24:04.319 -->
00:24:05.039What parsha?
00:24:05.200 -->

00:24:15.519 -->

00:24:16.559 -->
00:24:17.039That tracks.
00:24:17.119 -->
00:24:17.599I love apples.
00:24:17.920 -->
00:24:18.880That tracks.
00:24:20.640 -->
00:24:22.000And you're sweet as honey.
00:24:22.160 -->
00:24:22.640So there you go.
00:24:22.960 -->
00:24:23.519Exactly.
00:24:23.759 -->
00:24:24.079Okay.
00:24:24.559 -->
00:24:27.680Okay, so I have my next thing that's I have written down.
00:24:28.000 -->
00:24:30.960This by the time this airs, this show will already have happened.
00:24:31.119 -->
00:24:42.880But this Saturday, August 22nd, you are performing in Atlantic City at Ocean Casino on a Saturday night, and um it's sold out.
00:24:43.039 -->
00:24:43.279Yeah.
00:24:43.440 -->
00:24:52.799Basically, it's full of people, it's a huge show, and it's no one religious is gonna be in the audience because of the timing of the show.
00:24:53.119 -->
00:24:54.160It's on a Saturday night.
00:24:54.400 -->
00:24:54.640Right.
00:24:54.720 -->
00:25:07.039We're staying at the hotel, so but we will be there and was planned by our it was planned and it's sold out, and it um it shows that we've really we we really have uh because it kind of hit you yesterday or the day before.
00:25:07.119 -->
00:25:08.400You're like, wait, it what?
00:25:08.559 -->
00:25:12.000Yeah, it hit me that it's on a Saturday night.
00:25:12.240 -->
00:25:14.799It's after Shabbos, but it's it's right after Shabbos.
00:25:15.039 -->
00:25:16.000Yeah, so it doesn't give you time.
00:25:16.160 -->
00:25:17.759I mean, it doesn't give a lot of people.
00:25:18.319 -->
00:25:33.359But it's sold out very fast, so it's people who who Yeah, so I'm guessing I guess what I'm asking is how do you feel about because it was a litmus test for us to see like because we usually never do Saturday night shows, let alone a huge show like at a casino.
00:25:33.839 -->
00:25:34.160Right.
00:25:34.319 -->
00:25:38.559I I didn't um by the way, I I didn't realize that until last week.

00:26:04.880 -->

00:26:11.680 -->
00:26:11.920Interesting.
00:26:12.160 -->

00:26:17.279 -->

00:26:18.160 -->

00:26:23.119 -->
00:26:25.920There's a Saturday night show in Atlantic City this week.
00:26:26.640 -->
00:26:30.319Your your son Andrew, there's a situation that has arrived with him.
00:26:31.440 -->
00:26:33.279No, because I did get a few.
00:26:34.079 -->
00:26:36.480She got that, she got that memo too.
00:26:36.799 -->
00:26:45.200I I got a few disappointed DMs from fans who I guess live in the Atlantic City area, and they were like, this doesn't give us enough time to get there after Shabbat, and I understand.
00:26:45.359 -->
00:26:45.599Yeah.
00:26:45.759 -->
00:26:52.319And I just want to keep in mind, we I plan 99.999% of shows with that in mind.
00:26:52.480 -->
00:26:52.720Right.
00:26:52.880 -->
00:26:56.480This was just the availability of this venue, and it's sold out.
00:26:56.799 -->
00:27:00.160I mean, people are coming, so it's not the audience is changing.
00:27:00.480 -->
00:27:02.240The audience is changing, thank God.
00:27:02.400 -->
00:27:09.519Um, I I I appreciate ever all the audiences, but like we said, we are now Goyam Gays and Theys.
00:27:10.400 -->
00:27:11.279We're expanding the time.
00:27:12.000 -->
00:27:24.319Super expanding, and um, and it's it's but we 99% of the time think about the Orthodox Jewish community and we plan for them and with them and uh Well, do we plan?
00:27:24.799 -->
00:27:26.000We do, we do.
00:27:26.480 -->
00:27:29.680Do you want to talk about what happened in the Hamptons with Dovey Newberger?
00:27:30.480 -->
00:27:40.160Oh, yeah, but that's oh no, but it it should serve as just like if you're planning a comedy night with a Jewish comedian, feel free to send me an email.
00:27:40.319 -->
00:27:43.839Just an email or a DM, info at ModiLive.com.
00:27:44.000 -->
00:27:47.200Be like, hey, just out of curiosity, where is Modi this night?
00:27:47.359 -->
00:27:52.799Because the night you were performing in East Hampton, down the block, Dovey Newberger was performing at the Chabad.
00:27:52.960 -->
00:27:53.200Right.
00:27:53.440 -->
00:27:54.319Down the block, literally.
00:28:00.079 -->
00:28:01.039Apples and oranges.
00:28:01.200 -->
00:28:07.359Apples and oranges, but just it was a little reminder that not the or the organizations are not necessarily uh communicating with each other.
00:28:07.680 -->
00:28:08.160Correct.
00:28:08.319 -->
00:28:29.519So we we were in this stunning synagogue of very affluent members who are, you know, imagine like the most goish dressed, you know, with the orange sweater over the in case the air conditioning's too tight, too, too strong, the white pants, the the the van clean dripping.
00:28:30.400 -->
00:28:38.400But then there's also that Hamptons, and I'm not and I don't I'm not talking about I'm not talking about uh uh tax brackets or price ranges, they could all be the same.
00:28:38.559 -->
00:28:43.119But then there's the ones who want to like say, we're going to this event, I'm wearing shorts and flip-flops.
00:28:43.279 -->
00:28:44.720And the Chabad does that show.
00:28:44.880 -->
00:28:46.079The Chabad of West Hamptons.
00:28:46.480 -->
00:28:47.440Haven't you done it for them before?
00:28:47.599 -->
00:28:50.640Yeah, I've done one of the best shows in the middle of COVID was that outdoor show.
00:28:50.720 -->
00:28:51.200Oh, yeah.
00:28:51.359 -->
00:28:53.599It was it was outdoors.
00:28:53.680 -->
00:28:54.960We hadn't done shows.
00:28:55.200 -->
00:29:01.680And I I said, um, I forgot what look like a dugout, the the the West uh Hampton Chabad.

00:31:44.880 -->
00:31:49.680So so your telephone, by the way, is a pushka, is a charity box.
00:31:49.759 -->
00:31:52.240You know how the rugby said always have a charity box?
00:31:52.559 -->
00:31:54.880Your telephone, there's this thing called, where is it here?
00:31:54.960 -->
00:31:56.400It's called Venmo.
00:31:57.119 -->
00:31:57.759Venmo.
00:31:58.000 -->
00:32:08.400And on the Venmo, you can just have on top of like when you so you I have Chabad of Poconos, we have Sixth Street Synagogue, we have organization.
00:32:08.720 -->
00:32:13.279We have Boston University and Boston Chabad, two different organizations.
00:32:13.440 -->
00:32:14.240Always keep it.
00:32:14.319 -->
00:32:17.200And when things happen that are good or when you lose something.
00:32:17.440 -->
00:32:22.000When you lose oh my god, we've talked about this, but I feel like it's more to my own.
00:32:24.960 -->
00:32:26.559I cannot believe we didn't speak about this.
00:32:26.880 -->
00:32:28.880I'm reminding you, that's what I'm here for.
00:32:29.680 -->
00:32:30.240Wow.
00:32:30.480 -->
00:32:31.519And they have an app.
00:32:31.599 -->
00:32:33.680That is a whole other that is a beast of itself.
00:32:33.839 -->
00:32:37.759So start from the beginning, just assume um because we have talked about this before, but let's see.
00:32:37.839 -->
00:32:38.400And it happened last time.
00:32:38.799 -->
00:32:39.279It started again.
00:32:39.440 -->
00:32:39.680It happened.
00:32:41.599 -->
00:32:44.640No, the different pair of glasses, the same situation.
00:32:44.880 -->
00:32:53.839There is a website and it's an app, actually, and it's called Rebbe Mayer Balhanes.
00:32:54.079 -->
00:32:54.400Rebecca.
00:32:55.200 -->
00:32:56.160I'll link it in the episode.
00:32:56.240 -->
00:32:56.319Yeah.
00:32:56.559 -->
00:33:00.319Balhaness, Master of Miracles.
00:33:00.960 -->
00:33:04.559And when you lose something, so this is really amazing.
00:33:04.720 -->
00:33:10.960When you lose something, um, a physical thing, you go there and you make a donation and it pops back up.
00:33:11.279 -->
00:33:15.599Yeah, it's like we have the patron saying the Catholics have the patron saying of lost items too.
00:33:15.759 -->
00:33:20.640Lost lost sailors, lost dogs, lost, we have we have so it's the same vibe.
00:33:20.880 -->
00:33:22.079It's the same vibe, 100%.
00:33:22.480 -->
00:33:25.359It's it's it, yeah, but this is, you know, that's what that.
00:33:25.839 -->
00:33:35.440So when we were fleeing, fleeing, fleeing Fire Island, when Hashem said, You've had enough, get on a ferry and go home.
00:33:35.599 -->
00:33:37.440Um, we packed everything together.
00:33:37.599 -->
00:33:41.039And I keep in mind we have things all over where we were staying.
00:33:41.359 -->
00:33:45.599And I thought I misplaced my sunglasses, and I kept looking.
00:33:45.680 -->
00:33:49.759So I we packed, we left, and I go, my sunglasses, I left my sunglasses there.
00:33:50.000 -->
00:33:58.079And I'm very when you're when you're um dyslexic and you're you always have to have everything has to have its place and be in its place.
00:33:58.400 -->
00:34:01.359It's a it's a very important thing that helps me function.
00:34:01.680 -->
00:34:08.239And these glasses were not in their place, and they weren't in any pockets, and they weren't any bags we had, and I said, Oh my god, how did I lose them?
00:34:08.320 -->
00:34:11.280I they were in my pocket, I put them away when we were packing, da da da.
00:34:11.840 -->
00:34:12.719They were not anywhere.
00:34:12.880 -->
00:34:13.840They were not anywhere.
00:34:14.079 -->
00:34:16.880And then I said, Okay, let it go.
00:34:17.280 -->
00:34:20.960Made a donation to this to this of this thing.
00:34:21.199 -->
00:34:25.599And then we're in New York, and I said, you know what, I want to get new prescriptions.
00:34:25.679 -->
00:34:29.920Let me go check what my eyes are doing, if they've changed since the last time I've done it.
00:34:30.159 -->
00:34:36.400And I went and I keep all my glasses in a case in my in my bag, in cases in my bag.
00:34:36.480 -->
00:34:45.519I have three different glasses for different sun shades and different uh, you know, if a prescription with with sunglasses, without a whole thing.
00:34:45.760 -->
00:34:49.920And I went to sh to get it, and I opened up and they were there.
00:34:50.239 -->
00:34:53.920But I promise you, I checked 500 times they were not there.
00:34:54.000 -->
00:34:57.199I promise you, I checked 500 times, they were not there.
00:34:57.360 -->
00:35:00.400So this, and the same thing happened last summer.
00:35:00.719 -->
00:35:10.239Last summer we were walking home from some party in on Fire Island, and someone dropped something, and I went to bend over and my glasses were in my and they fell out.
00:35:10.480 -->
00:35:11.679And I thought I lost them.
00:35:11.760 -->
00:35:16.400And then we were walking on the beach, and I made a donation, and then I got home, I go, Oh my god, that's right.
00:35:16.639 -->
00:35:22.159Last night I bent over when the glasses were in my in my shirt, and I went right back to they were in a bush.
00:35:22.320 -->
00:35:22.480Wow.
00:35:22.719 -->
00:35:25.519In a bush, and I saw them in the bush, picked them up.
00:35:25.599 -->
00:35:26.480So this works.
00:35:26.639 -->
00:35:32.320And I made an extra donation because I one because I it it really showed me that it works.
00:35:32.719 -->
00:35:39.920I made a donation um a little bit more than I usually do for lost opportunities.
00:35:41.039 -->
00:35:44.400Things that slipped away that need to come back.
00:35:44.800 -->
00:35:45.119Really?
00:35:45.360 -->
00:35:45.679Yeah.
00:35:45.840 -->
00:35:53.199I just figured, you know, there's may maybe it's not just physical things, it's also interesting uh opportunities and and and property.

00:39:05.920 -->
00:39:07.519We're gonna I said to them, I'm so stupid.
00:39:07.599 -->
00:39:07.920I can't.
00:39:08.239 -->
00:39:20.480He thought we were gonna walk through the museum and just like grab a menorah out of a display case and like put it here and be like, so this is uh from when the the so-and-so family was fleeing, this is all they brought with them.
00:39:20.960 -->
00:39:25.039You thought we were gonna go pillage the exhibitions and just bring stuff down here.
00:39:25.440 -->
00:39:33.760So I said to Lucy, and and uh uh I said to her, uh bring us something, bring us something from the from the archives and we'll talk about it.
00:39:34.079 -->
00:39:40.079There needs to be people consulted, you need to check it out, the collection, you need like security for certain things.
00:39:40.320 -->
00:39:43.039I said, so so so then on the way to go, let's make it up.
00:39:43.119 -->

00:41:13.920 -->
00:41:14.239I know it.
00:41:14.400 -->
00:41:18.239Even if for not, we should just lie and just say yes because Jewish get off my back.
00:41:18.559 -->
00:41:26.880Okay, I don't know when this is airing, but we just put Huntington, New York on sale for December 10th out in Long Island.
00:41:27.039 -->
00:41:30.079And the pre-the pre-sale is actually right now.
00:41:30.239 -->
00:41:36.719Tomorrow, Friday is the general on sale, and I the the show sold out basically in the pre-sale.
00:41:36.880 -->
00:41:38.719So working on maybe adding another show.
00:41:38.800 -->
00:41:40.719By the time this airs, we'll probably be a show there.
00:41:40.960 -->
00:41:42.800Um Huntington, it's amazing.
00:41:42.880 -->
00:41:43.599It's an amazing theater.
00:41:43.679 -->
00:41:45.119It's it's the paramount we had the best.
00:41:46.400 -->
00:41:47.360We did two shows there.
00:41:47.519 -->
00:41:50.079It was that's it's such a good venue.
00:41:50.239 -->
00:41:56.400The stages are the perfect height, it's not a high ceiling, and everybody was there, and it was a good seat no matter where you are, right?
00:41:56.719 -->
00:42:02.079And last time we were there, I remember getting on stage and seeing that row of women wearing hijabs.
00:42:02.239 -->
00:42:03.360We know I wasn't there last time.
00:42:03.760 -->
00:42:03.920That's right.
00:42:04.000 -->
00:42:05.920You had outside of surgery, right?
00:42:06.079 -->
00:42:06.239Right.
00:42:06.400 -->
00:42:12.079And I remember seeing the women wearing hijabs, and then after I spoke to them and they were the nurses that brought their Jewish colleagues.
00:42:12.239 -->
00:42:15.519Yeah, and it's a special place, it's it's in the middle of Long Island.
00:42:15.599 -->
00:42:17.199So wherever you are in Long Island, come on.
00:42:17.280 -->
00:42:22.239And if you're in the city and you want to you miss Radio City, even though it's new material, come.
00:42:22.559 -->
00:42:33.119And then um, oh, one thing the we have a wait list feature for cities that we know we're for sure coming to, um, but we just not are not allowed to announce the dates yet.
00:42:33.280 -->
00:42:36.320And so we've implemented this thing for the wait list.
00:42:36.559 -->
00:42:40.719So if you live near that city and you want to know as soon as it goes on sale, you can sign up for the wait list.
00:42:40.960 -->
00:42:45.360And we actually used it for the first time for the Huntington show at the Paramount.
00:42:45.599 -->
00:42:52.079Um, we got hundreds of people signed up for the wait list, and I made sure that our marketing team sent you guys an email first.
00:42:52.159 -->
00:42:57.599So if you were on the wait list, you had a full head start on tickets, and I think that's why it sold out so quickly.
00:42:58.000 -->
00:42:59.679So please use the wait list feature.
00:42:59.760 -->
00:43:05.440I'm gonna be, you know, rewarding people for that, incentivizing you guys to use the waitlist feature.
00:43:05.519 -->
00:43:08.559And so there's a wait list for Montclair, New Jersey, if you live near there.
00:43:08.880 -->

00:43:18.960 -->
00:43:24.320November 3rd, we added a show in London at a different venue just because of availability at the Palladium.
00:43:24.400 -->
