WEBVTT
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:01.280
And here's Modi, everybody.
00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:01.919
Welcome back.
00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:09.119
We are in the studio with comedian extraordinaire Jared Freed, my husband Leo Vega.
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:09.599
Hello.
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:10.880
And me, Modi here.
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:11.839
And here's Modi.
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:24.079
And we are uh we were in full discussion before we began on Jared Fried new special called Family Plan, coming out on Netflix September 1st.
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:29.120
We got a preview of it, and we were rolling in the apartment.
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:30.239
And we usually don't.
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:30.960
Thank you.
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:32.159
That means the world.
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:36.159
I you know, comedians, you know, you're watching special, you watch them all.
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:36.960
I watch them all.
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:39.359
He watches them all, and I watch him watch it.
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:39.600
Right.
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:41.359
And you can see him go, no.
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:42.399
No.
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:43.600
And it's enough.
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:44.399
It's enough of that.
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:44.960
I got it.
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:45.600
I got it.
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:48.799
Your special, if I have to describe it, I'm gonna say a few things.
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:49.280
Okay.
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.320
When you write comedy, you write bits.
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:53.280
There's a bit.
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:54.799
There's comics who do jokes.
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:56.799
Uh like a Mark Norman Samurai.
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:58.960
It's it's ba-da-ba-ba, and that's what she did.
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:00.240
That comedy.
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:00.799
Comedy.
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:01.200
Okay.
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:05.760
Now, bit writers, which is Jared and me, there's a bit.
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:12.079
It has a beginning, it has an end, it has taglines in the middle, and that's and that's what it, and you pray for a good bit.
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:16.319
I find them whenever I'm with friends having dinner or whatever, and I say something funny and they laugh.
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:17.680
I go, Oh, there we go.
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:19.760
Pop it on the comedy seller stage.
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:20.799
Let's see what we can add.
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:21.120
Jokes.
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.680
Leo gives a few punchlines, my opening act a few punchlines, and we're great.
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:26.239
Yep.
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:31.519
And that's and it has that that's a bit, and each hour has a few bits.
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:33.840
This was one big bit.
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:34.400
Thank you.
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:35.120
It was wild.
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:36.079
Wow, that means the world.
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:37.680
I'm so happy you said that.
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:39.280
And you ventured off out of nowhere.
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:40.719
And it came back to the bed.
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:42.319
It goes, don't forget where we are.
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:42.640
Yeah.
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:44.319
Yeah, so we're at the beach.
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:46.000
We're on the beach.
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:48.719
That no, that makes me feel so good.
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:50.959
That is the greatest compliment I could ever get.
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:51.359
It is.
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.439
It's one, it's a one-hour story about going to the beach with my parents.
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:56.799
And that's how I explain it.
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:58.079
And that's what I tell people.
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.319
And it's about the millennial boomer relationship.
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:01.200
It's about my family.
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:02.400
It's about body issues.
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:04.319
It's about it's my life story.
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:05.519
It truly is.
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:07.359
And it happened in 2018.
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:12.159
I'm in Delray Beach, and my dad is sitting across from me, and he goes, How much do you weigh?
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:14.479
And I was so annoyed.
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:25.680
And that became, I, you know, just like you said, I go, I go to the cellar, let me see what this, let me see if people, if their eyes, you know, get wider.
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:30.960
You know, let me see if and you and I saw a few people connecting, and it like kind of didn't work.
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.280
And then I was like, well, let me explain my family.
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:35.599
And I'm like, well, we vacation together and I'm an adult.
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.560
So then I do that joke, and that was killing right away.
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:43.759
So I'm like, now that you know, the joke that kills gives you confidence to work on the one that doesn't.
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:44.000
Right.
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:50.319
So I'm doing the we vacation as adults with my parents, and I'm seeing people, they're getting that right away.
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.479
And I'm like, okay, I can get you to the other one.
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.919
So it grew from a one-minute story to a five-minute story to a 10.
00:02:56.240 --> 00:03:01.840
And then I'm at like, I'm in, I'm doing like it's a 20-minute bit, and I'm doing it in like Norway.
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:03.120
Like I did it in Europe.
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:06.800
And I'm having people in Norway going, that beach story, man.
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:07.599
That beach story.
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:09.360
And I go, I gotta make it 45.
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:13.759
And I got it to an hour, and uh it makes me really thank you so much.
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:18.159
Because it means the world that you saw, that you both saw that that's like what I what I did.
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:19.199
A hundred percent.
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:24.159
And the delivery is not the delivery, there's no monotone, so it's like a ha.
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:29.520
I I have to tell you, and this is nothing to do with body size or anything.
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.400
It's uh the energy is Jackie Gleason.
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.639
I I appreciate that's what I heard that.
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:35.280
I've heard that.
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:36.639
I've heard Jackie Gleason.
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:38.560
You know who just got in touch with me?
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:40.479
Um, what's her name?
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.080
Her dad was a borscht belt guy.
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.400
Uh Sheba Mason.
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:47.439
No, not Sheba.
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.120
Um, she got in touch with me.
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.039
She's like, You remind me of my dad, and I went and looked it up, and I was like, We have the same body type.
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:54.400
Like it was crazy.
00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:03.439
Her dad, I'm looking it up right now because it was on it was on TikTok that she messaged me, and I'm just making sure I get her name right.
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:08.159
Because her her dad is like a guy, is like her name's Judy.
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:08.879
Of course.
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:09.759
Of course it is.
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:10.879
Of course her name is Judy.
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:15.520
Oh, her dad is um Freddie Roman.
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:16.240
Oh, wow.
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:17.199
Freddie Roman.
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:19.519
She goes, This is the message I got.
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:25.439
Freddie Roman, who is Jewish comedy legend, like this is a borschtbelt.
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:34.480
Like, if you know history about, and like when people ask me about like, you know, Jewish stuff, this special, I mentioned being Jewish, but it's to me, it's like an episode of Seinfeld.
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:36.879
It's not about being Jewish, but it is about being Jewish.
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:37.360
100%.
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:43.680
And Freddie Roman, if you're familiar, when I talk about being Jewish and doing stand-up, I'm like, we invented the sport.
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.519
This is our, this is like our version of uh basketball.
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:51.360
Like when Jews watch you do stand-up, it is very much our own.
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:52.319
You have to do it right.
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:54.000
They have to, you have to do right by them.
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:56.800
You have to be funnier than the uncle they think is funny.
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:57.199
Right.
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:01.680
So when she told me Freddie Roman, she goes, uh, his name is Freddie, was Freddie Roman.
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:02.879
You should watch his act on YouTube.
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:04.959
I knew who he was, I knew the boys, but I go look him up.
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:09.199
I'm like, oh my God, we have the same body, we have the same yelly type of thing.
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:11.839
And I took that as like the nicest thing.
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:13.040
The nicest thing in the world.
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:14.240
Freddie Roman.
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:15.680
Ladies and gentlemen, Freddie Roman.
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.439
Me speaking now as the last of the cat skill comedians.
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:20.560
Did you do it?
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:22.079
I did it.
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:23.040
What was it like?
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.160
I bought an apartment from doing cat skills.
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:26.720
Not in the cat.
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.000
I bought an apartment in New York from the work I did in the cat skills.
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:30.319
Really?
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:31.759
I caught the tail end of it.
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.399
In my upcoming special, I talk about it.
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.399
That I am the last of the cat skill comedians.
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:38.720
100%.
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:39.360
Yeah.
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.319
So I got to work with Freddie many times.
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:42.879
Really?
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:43.759
Many times.
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:44.800
He's hysterical.
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.759
He was one of the nicest people in the world, genuine.
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:49.680
I worked with Malzy Lawrence.
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:58.959
Anyone who's no idea what we're talking about, Google and YouTube Cat Skills on Broadway, and you'll get a feel for all of these comedians that I'm talking about.
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:00.480
The jokes are amazing.
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:02.240
The jokes are pow.
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.160
You see an audience laugh, and I still do some of those jokes.
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:10.639
I just did Atlantic City and I did one of those, like, you know, priest and rabbi jokes.
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:12.959
And I'm getting major laughs throughout the whole thing.
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:19.519
But you do one of those jokes, and all of a sudden you feel 3,000 people laughing like that.
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:20.959
Oh, it's like a magic trick.
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:22.639
These guys were the masters of it.
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:24.160
Freddy was insane.
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.600
I did many shows with him at the Friars Club.
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:28.399
I'm sure.
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:29.040
I'm sure.
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:34.560
I mean, he because when she said it, then I saw I'm looking him up and I'm seeing like older, him being an older guy.
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:45.120
He's talking about his just the cadence, and it's from like it's a different era, but it's like, you know, when we see, you know, when you showed me this poster, like that is the next era.
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:56.639
Like, I'm looking at, you know, you this with you, with like the guys that like I saw at the cellar, like, you know, this isn't our blood, you know, like it's um it's a it's it's very cool, you know.
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.160
Well cadence-wise, let's discuss that.
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:08.879
So you your cadence is there's no room for you're delivering a comedy special, not a podcast that's a one-man podcast.
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:16.000
There is you're in you're jabbing, bopping, you're catching them at the end of their laugh and then hitting them again.
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.439
You're giving them a chance to laugh, yeah, but then popping in.
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:24.879
And then you're guiding them through when you said to them, uh, we have 20 more minutes on this topic.
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:25.279
Yeah.
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:26.560
It was amazing.
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.079
It was, I was, I was I literally turned to Leo.
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:31.360
I go, Yeah.
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:32.079
Yeah.
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:33.839
Yeah, because they don't get the premise.
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:37.360
They're like, uh, and I'm like, oh God, we have 20 minutes to go on this subject.
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:45.040
I forgot which special it was with Jim Gaffigan, where he was talking about horses, and he goes, Yeah, is he still talking about horse?
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:46.879
Is he gonna do another horse joke?
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:49.120
Is he gonna do another horse joke?
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.879
And but you were like, we're about to go into this thing, whatever it was.
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:54.160
It was Rob Lowe.
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:55.680
Rob Lowe.
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:58.480
The Atkins cookies, yeah.
00:07:58.560 --> 00:07:59.360
The Rob Lowe.
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:01.360
So, what's your story with Rob Lowe?
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:04.639
He's the spokesperson for the Atkins line of food.
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:05.519
That's insane.
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:06.800
He's been good looking his whole life.
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:07.600
What the fuck?
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:10.319
And I'm sitting there being told that I'm gonna look like him.
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:11.120
Fuck you.
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:12.240
And then I met him.
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:13.120
I go.
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:21.199
So I met him, and so if you watch the special, you'll see I do this Rob Lowe bit, and I'm giving him shit, but I only talk about people I want to give shit to.
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:24.959
I I I I don't I don't make fun of someone to end their lives.
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:26.000
That's crazy.
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.199
So I saw him at a golf tournament in LA.
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:30.879
It was the Netflix golf tournament.
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:31.519
This is years ago.
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:36.879
I'm doing the bit every night, and I go, and I say in the special, I'm like, I will go, I will say it to him.
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:43.200
And I I and I felt my stomach turn, and I go, Jared, you promised be a man of your word.
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.279
And I go, Rob, I'm Jared Freed.
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:49.840
I'm a stand-up comedian, and I have talked about you on stage for the last two years, every night.
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.080
And he goes, The Atkins bit.
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:52.480
Oh.
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:53.679
He goes, I heard about it.
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:55.759
He goes, I heard it's hilarious.
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:55.919
Yeah.
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:57.120
He goes, I can't wait to watch it.
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:58.320
I was like, Yeah, you get it.
00:08:58.480 --> 00:08:59.440
That's a perfect interaction.
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:00.399
Perfect interaction.
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:01.279
Perfect, totally.
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:09.759
By the way, you you don't even understand that you've been doing all this time in all those spaces, in all those places, people know him.
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:10.240
Yeah.
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:16.080
Either through through through Hollywood or maybe someone's friends, or maybe someone knows his nanny.
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:17.519
Right, you don't do that.
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.399
But anyway, um, it's people find out.
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:26.000
I have a friend, Michael Hoffman, I talk about him, and every time I mention his name, people right away like he I get all the DMs.
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:27.200
He's not a celebrity.
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:28.879
Well, you know what's funny about that?
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:32.799
I mention in the special I have a punchline about Fan the Taylor.
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:41.600
Fan is a tailor in Needham, Massachusetts, who used to do my mom's every one of my mom's, you know, dresses or whatever.
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:43.200
He did everyone's dresses.
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:47.120
Do you know how many people came up to me and were like, oh my God, I told Fan.
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:47.919
He knows.
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:49.279
You know, like this gets back.
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.480
You know, and when you're wondering what these dresses look like, I can I can picture them right.
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:55.840
I've shown them to you in my mom's closets down in the basement.
00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:56.000
Yeah.
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:03.679
Those sequenced things that you wear to bar mitzvahs and those those over the show, those, those pads like uh Joan Collins and Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:04.559
It's yeah, those are those.
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:08.799
I knew exactly when you said my mom's tailor, I knew exactly everything.
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:10.000
I saw her whole closet.
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:10.480
Totally.
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:11.200
Totally right.
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:18.879
And that's like the what the goal of the special became is like, you know, the thing is, you know, you talk about other comics, and what do you do here?
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:26.720
Like, and I, you know, when I made when I started telling the story, I I got a lot of fulfillment out of being someone going, That's my family.
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.080
Like that you could see the picture, that you could relate to it.
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.919
And I was like, I never like did this to like feel that way.
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:36.960
Like I did this, there's no heroism in this.
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.919
Like, I I want to go on stage and be funny, I want to make money, I want to be, you know, to do it well.
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:49.759
But when people would say that, like, oh my god, I could see the dresses in your mom's closet, I could see your mom, I could see your dad, it makes me feel like you talk about the trash family on vacation.
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:54.320
That's that's where I relate because that's all the garbages.
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.480
Yeah, the garbage, the garbage family.
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:00.080
And also I need to come out as someone who's not on the family plan.
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.039
Who it was a real sensitive person.
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:03.840
You're better than me.
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:05.039
Well, this is a little trigger.
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:13.840
That's why when I talk about being on the family plan at 41 now, and my dad's trying to kick me off now, but it's getting kicked off of health insurance wasn't enough.
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.000
This is they want to kick you off of the cell you don't know.
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:17.600
Don't they know how hard it is to be a millennial?
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:18.320
What's going on?
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:23.919
It it but the family plan is like a perfect example of like the the gray of the world.
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:27.840
Like right now, we're trying to split into people into good and bad.
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.559
And who's trying and who's the Nepo baby?
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:32.960
And it's like, I could pay my own cell phone bill.
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:34.559
I don't want to.
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:36.159
Yeah, the logistics are.
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:37.360
To go to the Verizon store.
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:37.919
Could I?
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:38.960
It's gonna take a lot of work.
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.360
But it's really let my parents fucking pay.
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:42.080
They can pay.
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:46.000
You know, Leo Leo and I have each separate Verizon account.
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:51.759
So he came 11 years ago and I met him, he had his account, I had my account, and we could save money by putting it together.
00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:52.240
Right.
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:55.360
But they told us it takes about an hour and a half.
00:11:55.679 --> 00:12:00.799
No, they said you need to make an appointment and carve out about two or three hours because you have to sit here in the store with join our plan.
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.200
Your blood type and your social security number.
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:04.480
And I'm like, I don't care.
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:05.519
Just play whatever.
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:06.720
I'm not an hour and a half.
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:08.000
We'll lose the$25.
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:08.799
Whatever it is.
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:11.519
Yeah, I will say I wasn't kicked off with the family plan.
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:12.559
I left.
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:14.960
And uh it's a very empowering feeling.
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:16.240
I got kicked off.
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.080
I'll tell you the real story.
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.720
I was on it, I was doing that bit when I first started about how I'm never getting off the family plan.
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.679
I started doing that when I was 28, thinking it was funny.
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:29.200
And then I got kicked off because at the time, data cost money.
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:32.159
And I was on my dad's back in the day, data.
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.720
This makes it's weird that you sound old.
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:36.720
My dad was on a company plan.
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.039
So the whole family, my cousins, my brother.
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:46.240
And so now you have this comparative thing where it's like, don't, you know, my family, my dad was always in family businesses.
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:49.759
It's like, don't be the one that's taking more or being a pain.
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:51.200
Just shut up.
00:12:51.360 --> 00:13:03.120
That was my my whole childhood was just keep your mouth shut and be nice and say, you know, kiss your grandpa and grandma on the cheek when you say hello, say please and thank you, and shut the fuck up.
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:04.320
That was our speech.
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:06.720
That was the pump-up speech on the way into Rosh Hashada.
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:07.200
Right.
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:15.679
And so I'm on this family plan that's with my family's work plan, and my dad's like, I'm at the meeting, and everyone's asking, why is Jared using all this data?
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:16.879
What the fuck are you doing?
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:17.919
You're embarrassing me.
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:22.080
And I was like, I listen to podcasts every morning back in the day.
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.000
The podcast would automatically download every morning.
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.000
So I go, I don't know, I don't know how to stop it.
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.799
He goes, You're embarrassing me in front of all my siblings.
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:32.320
You know, his siblings are at this meeting.
00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:33.039
What is Jared?
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:33.679
Why are we spending it?
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:34.879
There's a big pie chart on the wall.
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:40.159
And if you see here, just Jared, Jared is eating more than everyone else.
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:43.120
And I'm like, and he finally goes, get off, just get off it.
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:44.559
And I go, I'm getting off it.
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:46.000
And I got off the plan.
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:49.440
Then my dad, you know, he's retired from that business.
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:50.559
He's moved on.
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:52.559
He calls me like three years ago.
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:54.559
He's like, I'm at T-Mobile.
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:56.799
How much are you paying for the cell phone bill?
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:58.320
And I go, 200 bucks.
00:13:58.480 --> 00:13:59.679
He goes, it's 50.
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:00.799
You're back on.
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:02.720
So now I'm on the family plan.
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:03.919
It's more economical.
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:04.320
Right.
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:06.080
And I, so I was like, of course I'm going back on.
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:07.120
Fuck my old plan.
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:08.080
I'm getting on yours.
00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:09.519
I'm not going 200 bucks.
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:10.399
I'm saving that money.
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:10.639
You know.
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:15.360
So now just if they understand something, I'm watching the special Knowing Your Parents.
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:15.840
Yes.
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:17.440
I know your parents.
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:21.120
I performed in their what's that place they in their country club.
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:26.720
Yeah, they they live in a uh a they live in a country club community in Boca.
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:28.799
They are exactly who you think they are.
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:32.639
It's they and and also Modi is their favorite comedian.
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.600
My mom talks about Modi.
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:40.960
Every chance she gets, she loves Modi, had the best time.
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:44.240
And let me just tell you, that room is not an easy room.
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:44.960
No, it's not.
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:50.399
They have had other comedians come and they'll tell you exact first and last names.
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:54.240
They will tell you who bombed, who was horrible, who didn't get it.
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:57.200
Modi, you have a great PR team down in Boca.
00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:59.519
They will tell the world how great you are.
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:04.879
And it's for you to go in there and sweep them off their feet like you did.
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:09.519
Like I can't, because they asked me to do the shows there, and I'm like, there is no way on earth.
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:10.080
No way.
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:11.600
It's a know your audience situation.
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.440
You have to, those of you who don't understand, first of all, it's a it's a pashi club.
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:16.399
It's a beautiful, it's very nice.
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:17.440
It's very, very nice.
00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:20.720
Listen, this is called the the no family plan.
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.159
I right this is that's so there's no lies being told.
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:26.240
It's a beautiful a golf course.
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:40.240
Many don't golf, but there's a homes and there's a gated community, and they have this center where they have events and they have and it's beautiful, and they serve them a dinner, a delicious dinner, and it's a perfect dinner because anytime anything's been bad, they've complained.
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:43.440
So anything that's ever been bad has been taken off and fixed.
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:45.519
This is the reason I hated when I moved.
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:56.000
I moved to a new building in Harlem when I first my the first apartment I ever bought was on 131 in Harlem, and it was a brand new building, and I had nothing but issues.
00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:06.000
And I said the reason and I had come from a building on the Upper East Side where management had been, you know, beaten down by the Jewish women who had lived there before me.
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:08.799
They trailed, they made a pathway.
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:14.399
I was walking in their footsteps, and I was like, I don't have the ability to go to the board.
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:16.480
Right.
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:20.159
These you know Ruths and Helens that came before me.
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:26.639
I was like, I am so not equipped to tell them why how the dry cleaning should be delivered.
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:27.519
Right.
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:29.360
So so I'm at this club.
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:38.240
So so now Jared's mom sees me in the Jared's parents see me in the parking lot, walk me in, and they before and where are you staying in?
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:40.879
Staying, where are you eating, how are you driving, did you rent this car?
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:42.879
The whole thing, everything.
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:45.519
And then she goes, Let me make sure where they put you.
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:51.919
And they put me in like it's not a green room, it's like the other side of the ballroom with chairs lined up and all that.
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:54.320
But that was like they made a green room for it for me.
00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:57.360
And your mother just kept coming back with all her friends.
00:16:57.519 --> 00:16:57.679
Yes.
00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:01.440
These are the Goldbergs, these are the Schwartzmans.
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:09.119
They live, they used to live next door to us, but now they live two, two, they're not that happy with where they are now, but they used to be happy.
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:10.400
I told them to stay.
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:12.960
And so now this is I'm going over my notes and bits.
00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:13.359
Yeah.
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:13.839
Yeah.
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:22.160
And then just and then you just look out, and it's everybody from like 60, 60 to 160.
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:23.839
To 152, yeah.
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:25.440
They they have it all there.
00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:28.880
It's it's gotten younger a little bit, which is Florida's getting younger.
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:29.759
Florida's getting younger.
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:30.880
I mean, I live in Delray Beach.
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:32.400
I live 25 minutes away.
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:36.960
Yeah, they their their community, like it's it's it's truly nonstop there.
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.839
Like, I I mean you need stuff to do because you're not in New York and like you're in your house all day, otherwise.
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:42.480
Right.
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:45.599
They my parents are the most busy people I've ever met my entire life.
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:46.160
Same as this.
00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:46.559
Right.
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:52.799
And and it's because they fill their day and then they spend half their day telling you about how they fill their day.
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:52.960
Right.
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:53.519
100%.
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:55.519
Like I go, I go, what did you do today?
00:17:55.599 --> 00:18:03.759
My dad goes, woke up, went, played nine, did a spin class, did my laps, did my abs.
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:06.799
Who do you know that does as much as me?
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:14.240
And I'm like, um people with jobs, you know, like he l he takes such pride in the amount.
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:15.279
And I'm happy.
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:21.440
I was once told there was a guy whose parents are also living, or my parents' neighbors and friends.
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:23.440
He was like, We are so fucking lucky.
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:24.079
So lucky.
00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:36.720
You to you want, you know, the the the unforeseen nature of having active parents that you don't like it's weird that you like you want kids you don't want to have to worry about, I would assume, but you also want parents you don't have to worry about.
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:43.039
And I I really have no if anything, I I you know, they're still worried about me, you know.
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:44.160
Yeah, no, no.
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:49.519
My parents are thank god, and they're going for their first it took years, but George, Florida.
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:54.240
They're doing, they're doing uh, they're going to Boca to Century Village, Boca Raton.
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:56.079
They're gonna have the best time.
00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:00.880
I I'm putting money down that they're never coming back, even though they're like, they no, no, we're not doing summer there.
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:01.119
Right.
00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:02.960
My mom is gonna have all her friends there.
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:03.920
They already know she's coming.
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:05.759
Yeah, no, they're Modi's mother.
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:07.839
She's gonna be, she's gonna kill it there.
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:14.400
It's it there's a lot of weird, the thing you notice when you move to Florida is a lot of insecurity with moving to Florida.
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:14.799
Yeah.
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:17.759
And it's like there's an there's an element of giving up.
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.960
And which you know, I I I understand the insecurity because I have it.
00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:25.359
When someone's like, You moved to Florida, how are you doing comedy?
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:26.640
And I'm like, Well, I'm still doing it.
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:28.559
I'm still an airport.
00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:37.440
There's an airport, and I I go on the road, like, and I turn into this like very self-conscious person, and it took a minute to go, Jared, they're asking because they have nothing else to ask.
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:42.720
You know, like so, but I think even older people they don't want to giving up on their youth.
00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:46.640
Moving to Florida means you're giving up on your youth, on your ability to like be on your own.
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:49.279
But it's not that, but everyone is insecure.
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:51.039
That's interesting.
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:53.920
And especially, you know, when I was single, I'd go on dates.
00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:57.359
Uh, you know, it was an explanation of why this happened.
00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:59.039
What made them move here?
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:07.279
And it's like, it's just when you notice it, you notice it because I and I'm willing to say that because I have that, you know, like I have a my dad, I'll never forget it.
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.799
I get down to Florida and I'm in Delray Beach.
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:14.400
We're on the all our discussions happen on the beach in a circle.
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:17.599
This is this is covered uh at length in the special.
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:23.119
In the special, but every talk we have, when I have a talk with my parents at the beach in a circle.
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:24.480
The tribe has spoken.
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:25.359
Very survivor.
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:27.119
Very survivor, aunt, uncle.
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:30.079
It's very sephardic of you, even though you guys are not sephardic.
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:34.000
It's very we we were always a very Italian-coded Jew.
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:34.880
Yes, yes, yes.
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:35.519
Yes, yes.
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:39.599
Always we did like a Sunday sauce.
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:46.720
Before I had ever heard of Sunday sauce, my grandfather, he used to be a butcher, and then he would do all the cooking.
00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:49.759
And my my grandfather cooked, my grandmother yelled at him.
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:52.160
That was every every Rosh Hashanah and Yonko.
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:55.680
It was very Italian.
00:20:55.759 --> 00:21:07.519
I mean, like, we'd be my my grandfather, we'd have they'd have lobster bakes at my grandfather's place, having the lobsters race outside, like a very not Jewish thing, you know, but like so we're on the beach.
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:15.200
We're on the beach in a circle, and um my dad's like, and I, you know, my dad goes, When you date here, you gotta be careful.
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:22.799
Anyone who's 40 and lives in Florida is a runaway, something happened.
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:23.759
On the run.
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:27.920
On the run, they they you gotta be careful, they're a grifter, they're a loser.
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:31.039
And I'm like, Dad, I'm 40 and move here.
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:32.640
You're saying this about me.
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:35.279
I'm the loser you're talking about.
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:43.200
So, like, I it is a thing down there, but I always uh the bit I had was that when people in Florida always are making a reason for why they're in Florida.
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:46.960
So, like in the winter, they go, Can you believe it's 82 degrees?
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:49.839
And they go, New York 31, they're freezing.
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:51.039
They're freezing.
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:51.599
Right.
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:53.680
They just tell you what how bad it is in New York.
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:56.799
So it's justify it's all Schadenfreud.
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:01.200
It's all like, yeah, no, the reason I Again, that's insecurity.
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:04.880
I and all the Florida people is like, oh, it's full of New Yorkers.
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:06.160
And it's like, yeah, you're fucking lucky.
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:07.359
That's why you have a good bagel.
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:10.240
It's it's it's Florida's a vibe, by the way.
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:11.920
Florida's it's changed.
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:14.799
We for a moment were looking in Pompano Beach to buy a house.
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:17.200
We ended up in Connecticut, which is Boko Shem, thank God.
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:19.039
But we it's Florida's a vibe.
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:19.759
It's not the Florida.
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:20.240
Florida.
00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:22.000
I'm very Florida.
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:23.839
It's not the Florida of 1990s.
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:27.599
It's it's a different everybody's young and religious Jewish.
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:28.559
Oh my God.
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:31.599
If you go, well, Aventura, I call it high-rise boca.
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:52.720
You know, that that's you know, Aventura is like, you might you might as well be in uh in Jerusalem, you know, like that is um it is very religious, and Miami too has um I I I uh you know, I live in Delray Beach, and what I tell people, I'm like, people here are like Delray Beach, oh my god, my my Aunt Ethel, 105.
00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:54.880
Everyone here is like, oh, it's so old.
00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:57.599
Everyone in Florida is like Delray Beach, it's so young.
00:22:57.680 --> 00:22:57.920
Yep.
00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:00.880
And the reality is you just want to be close to the ocean.
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:04.400
The closer you are to the ocean, the younger it gets because old people just don't want to be near the ocean.
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:05.039
They don't want to do that.
00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:05.440
I didn't know that.
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:06.160
It's a lot of work.
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:08.079
You have to have certain types of doors, they're heavier.
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:19.839
So that's about so as long as you're near the ocean, it's not, you have to have a certain amount of ability to be able to like be in Atlantic Avenue is just a dream.
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:21.920
But I again, like, I like everything.
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:24.400
Like, I'm like, when I go to a buffet, I eat.
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:29.839
You know, like I'm on the road, when you're on the road and you go somewhere new, do you ever have that moment where you're like, I could live here?
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:30.960
Yeah, everywhere I go.
00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:31.920
I have that too.
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:32.400
That's a thing.
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:33.039
He doesn't have that.
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:34.079
You don't have that at all?
00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:34.640
For Florida?
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:34.960
No, no.
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:35.599
Just everywhere.
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:39.759
For Florida, the I Could Live Here only happens four times a year.
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:40.079
Right.
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:41.920
Quarterly when we pay taxes.
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:45.920
That's when that's when the I could live in Florida comes into my head.
00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:46.240
Yes.
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:46.960
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:52.799
I I when I go to a town, it always is annoying to me when they're like, oh, you had to come here wherever I am.
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:57.440
And I'm like, and I'm always like, I listen, someone's living the way I would live here.
00:23:57.680 --> 00:23:59.359
Like, there's a way to live here where I would live.
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:07.359
When I go to like, when I go to Cleveland and the people from Shaker Heights come to a show and they're like, oh, it's not like New York.
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:08.160
Yeah, of course not.
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:09.440
I'm in fucking Cleveland.
00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:11.359
They're always so apologetic and it's so weird.
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:12.160
But you know what I'm doing?
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:16.240
I'm in the green room, he's on stage and I'm on Zillow going, holy sh he's always on Zillow.
00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:17.759
He's always trying to say what it calls.
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:18.160
Right.
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:19.119
That's why I have a girlfriend.
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:20.880
I she still owes I talk.
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:24.960
So people always tell you when you come to visit, you could live here.
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:27.519
We're in places like Vancouver.
00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:33.039
If you come here between January 3rd and August 5th, it's beautiful.
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:33.359
Right.
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:38.720
Now it's meanwhile, you're looking outside, it's gray, snowy, miserable, heroin addicts.
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:48.559
Um, but then if just January between this and that, uh some guy, it wasn't Livingston, but someplace in New Jersey, some guy was in the was at a meet and greet and just wouldn't let go.
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:50.400
He goes, You should move to here.
00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:52.000
This is a lot of Jews are moving here.
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:53.119
There's a lot of synagogues here.
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:57.359
Yeah, people are either and and there's a lot of things happening here, and it's easy to get to the city.
00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:58.160
So I went with him.
00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:02.079
I go to him, I go to him, uh, I I go, Oh, is there a train that goes to the city?
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:03.599
He goes, Yeah, so you can drive in.
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:08.400
I go, No, I would use the train to jump on the third rail every morning because I live here.
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:11.920
People are either apologetic or they're lobbying for their town.
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:12.240
Right.
00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:14.799
Is the third rail full of things?
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:18.000
So tell us about the special.
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:20.160
Are there any Wait, the special?
00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:20.880
I feel like we did.
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:22.160
Well, this is the special.
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:26.799
Basically, what you just saw now is like the energy of the special.
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:27.839
This is the special.
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:28.400
Go watch it.
00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:37.519
Hey, listen, if By the time this airs, if you feel like this is you know, this type of kibbutz, if it feels like you know, a warm blanket to you, you're gonna love the special.
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:44.640
Like, I and I appreciate everything you said about it because that's I really do believe, like, I'm like, this is who I am as a comedian.
00:25:44.799 --> 00:26:06.160
It makes me so happy that especially, you know, like you know, with what's going on in the world that like families who might might have a tough time around each other, whatever they're dealing with, they watch this and I they would come up to me and be like, oh my god, that that's my mom, that's my dad, that's my son, that's my you know it really is, and it's meant to be shared.
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:07.440
It's meant to be shared.
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:10.240
Don't just watch it at home alone and go, oh, I loved it.
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:10.799
You're not gonna be able to do it.
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:11.680
And it's appropriate.
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:12.640
You can watch it with your parents.
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:13.440
It's not like I'm gonna be able to do it.
00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:14.640
I told people to bring their parents.
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:16.400
I taped it in Terrytown, you want to watch it with your family.
00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:21.920
No, I taped it in Terrytown, uh, New York, in the wet in Westchester, and I said, bring your parents.
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:23.200
Yeah, I promise you.
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:28.480
Yeah, and just to see people like hitting their dad being like, he's talking about you, that made me so asked.
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:33.440
Are there any jokes that didn't make the cut that you're like, uh we have that working on his special.
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:36.799
I was like, and this whole 15 minutes is not for the special, but I want it.
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:38.640
So edit it, color correct it, and edit everything.
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:39.519
See, that's the thing.
00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:44.960
I I generally like the story is the story, and if I have stuff I take out, it's gonna be in the next one.
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:49.440
So, like, you know, I I'm like, let me save it so I can go on the two tapings, obviously.
00:26:49.759 --> 00:27:00.240
Two tapings, um, and then the stuff I'm doing now is very so I got so into telling this one story and going in different directions that I was like, I want to keep doing that.
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:01.519
Like, that's how I want to do comedy.
00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:09.200
So the next one that I'm on the road doing, yeah and I want to tape, is my dad offered me his Ozempic at dinner.
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:15.039
So we were at dinner, and I was so angry about, and I'm like, what the fuck?
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:17.039
And now I'm on Ozempic.
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:17.680
So good.
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:19.680
And it's the best drug I have done.
00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:23.680
Do you have guys reaching out to you being like, thank you for talking about body image stuff?
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:28.880
Oh yeah, I have a lot of guys do that, and a lot of like a lot of guys asking where I get my t-shirts.
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:30.160
Where do you get your t-shirts?
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:31.599
Well, if they're not sponsored, we don't have to say.
00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:34.559
Well, no, what's no, well, Buck Mason, I was on a bucket.
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:35.839
That does a Buck Master.
00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:37.920
No, but I'm I was on a Buck Mason kick.
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:40.799
If you want to go up, what's the name of the James Pierce, right?
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:41.599
James Pierce.
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:42.799
That's a lot of money for shakes.
00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:44.960
That's a lot of money for pajamas.
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:46.160
That's a lot of money for pajamas.
00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:47.279
James Pearce, though.
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:47.519
I do.
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:48.319
James Pearce.
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:49.279
That's what I do that.
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:51.359
I've gone up, I, you know, but I'm a guy.
00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:57.039
If you're a guy who or know anyone who has trouble finding t-shirts that fit, they're gonna love the special.
00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:01.519
Like I because I am I it's either a belly shirt or it's a moo moo.
00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:01.759
Right.
00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:02.960
I can't find a tailor.
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:06.079
I'm a short, torso, wide-shouldered man.
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:08.799
Like here, here's something that no one really thinks about.
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:11.440
And I introduced there's a thing called a tailor.
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:12.160
I know.
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:13.279
There's a thing called the tailor.
00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:15.920
I'm gonna get t-shirts tailored and then they'll grow out.
00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:17.599
I have such fear you do look good.
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:22.720
Modi will buy a a cheaper t-shirt and then spend$20 tailoring it, and then it looks like a five step.
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:24.000
Where's that from?
00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:25.200
Son of a tailor.
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:26.319
So I've heard of this.
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:29.440
This place comes up for me because I, again, our phones are listening to us, so I'm not sure.
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:30.720
Nonstop, nonstop.
00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:32.880
So I, you know, I get the most insulting ones.
00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:35.599
Hey, do you want a shirt that covers your fat fuck stomach?
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:39.599
It's like, hey, Instagram, how about you chill out for like what are you, my dad?
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:44.000
Wait, so you you're on Ozembic now because since from the special to now, you've lost weight.
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:44.799
I've lost weight.
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:45.759
I stopped drinking.
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:50.480
So I I've had like a I had a lifestyle shift, I guess you could call it.
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:54.880
So the special got taped in December 2024.
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:58.480
June 2025, my parents are like, what are you doing in New York?
00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:00.240
What's what's kind of the keeping you there?
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:02.799
And I was like, I tape my podcast and I do shows of the cellar.
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:04.720
They're like, you can fly back and do that anytime.
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:05.920
Why don't you like live in Florida?
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:07.119
Like, take a look down here.
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:10.400
So June 2025, I moved to Del Rey.
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:18.880
Yeah, I found like this Airbnb, I was living there, and then I was really just like I really liked it right away.
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.720
I I did like the separation of like lifestyle from work.
00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:32.559
I was going on the road from there, and then I my dad and I played golf together one day, and he's like, What do you think would make you happier if you did it for a month?
00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:36.240
And I'm like, Okay, this is my Danny Tanner moment that I'm having with him.
00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:38.400
Like, this is like very like full house.
00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:41.200
And I was like, I think if I stopped drinking for a month, I'd probably feel a lot better.
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:43.200
And my dad was like, Yeah, I think that would help.
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:47.759
And I was like, Well, but I have Rochester coming up, and Rochester, you gotta drink in Rochester.
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:52.960
And then that's the curse of the comic when you're on the road and and you're in the green room and they're like, Do you want a beer?
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:53.920
Do you want a vodka soda?
00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:54.240
What do you want?
00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:55.759
And you're trying to get time.
00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:59.279
Or you're in the airport lounge, or you're and you're trying to like shorten the day.
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:01.200
And then I had Nashville coming up.
00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:03.759
I'm like, oh, you gotta drink at Nashville, that's the most fun place on earth.
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:06.000
And I'm like, fuck, I have to drink no matter what.
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:07.279
Um so maybe it's a problem.
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:10.079
I was like, maybe I should let me take a month, make sure I can take a month.
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:10.319
Yeah.
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:11.200
Took the month.
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:13.279
This is a I get done with the month.
00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:15.200
I'm like, I kind of like this.
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:17.279
I'm having a I'm I'm enjoying my life.
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:18.799
I feel good in the morning.
00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:20.000
I I like to sleep.
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:21.359
I'm having good sleeps.
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:24.079
I'm food is I'm appreciating food in a different way.
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:24.400
I didn't.
00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:27.119
Then another month goes by, and I go back to my parents' house.
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:29.200
My dad goes, uh-oh.
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:31.200
Is it a new thing?
00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:31.759
Is an alarm?
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:34.319
This is my alarm to take my testosterone.
00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:38.640
So kind of in this on brand for what we know.
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:40.720
No, no, so Leo and I are in the apartment, yeah.
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:42.319
Ah God, I forgot.
00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:44.720
And then all of a sudden, injecting a thing of testosterone.
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:46.240
Do we need to do an injection break?
00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:47.200
I'll do GMO.
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:51.920
So now I put it on the it even goes to the do not disturb.
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:53.119
Well, I can fix that.
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:54.880
So sorry, you you're talking about nothing.
00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:59.200
So Ann drank, a month goes by, but my I go to my parents' house, my dad goes, You still not drinking?
00:30:59.279 --> 00:30:59.920
I was like, I'm not.
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:03.200
And he goes, damn it, I thought I would kill two birds with one stone.
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:04.319
I was like, what are you talking about?
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:07.359
He goes, I thought if you stopped drinking, you'd lose some weight.
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:09.359
Jesus Christ.
00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:11.440
It's like, what the fuck is this?
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:14.960
And I'm like, this is crazy, you asshole.
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:20.079
And so then the offering me the so then I got on the GLP one and it was only.
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:23.440
It helps with the drink.
00:31:23.599 --> 00:31:26.799
I I didn't really have an issue with the stopping drinking, to be honest.
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:31.440
And that's why I don't like to say I'm sober because it's not really my he too.
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:37.039
He he's not as a drinking pond, but he loves the some app he gets, and he sees how many days he can go without drinking.
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:38.079
So you're doing that.
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:44.319
Yeah, so I did a challenge for myself last year, where again, I'm not a big drinker, but like if we go to dinner, I'll like a martini or something like that.
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:49.759
No, no, I get the the pageantry of the I like I'm I love that too, and I'm then I like having five of them.
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:50.559
Fresca.
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:52.000
I like a fresca.
00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:52.480
That's what I like.
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:52.880
A fresca.
00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:53.519
That's all you do.
00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:56.799
I did a challenge, I said, Leo, do 365 days, no alcohol.
00:31:57.119 --> 00:32:05.039
And I made it to like 397, and then we were at our friend's party in Paris, and there was a very expensive bottle of champagne that was opened, and then uh ended that experiment.
00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:06.000
But now I'm back on.
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:15.359
But that's the kind of thing that I with my drinking, it's like if when I did the month, I was like, I got to this wedding, it was a friend of mine's wedding, and I was like, ah, I don't need it for this.
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:19.680
And then I started judging experiences based on whether I would drink there or not.
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:26.079
And then I kind of stopped doing that because I was like, if there's nothing that's getting me to drink, then let's just not just leave it and leave it.
00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:29.039
And then, yeah, I Are you a Diet Coke drinker?
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:30.960
I'm a Diet Coke, but I guess that helps a lot.
00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:33.440
Yeah, of course.
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:34.400
Love a Diet Coke.
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:35.119
Coke Zero.
00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:35.839
I love a diet.
00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:36.640
Uh coffee.
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:38.319
I'm a big iced coffee guy.
00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:43.440
I mean, it's just I I don't have any vices really anymore.
00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:44.400
I don't smoke weed.
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:45.519
Um, I don't do gummies.
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:47.039
Yes, it looks really good.
00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:49.200
Your hair, your hair feel good.
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:51.599
In the special, your hair, I was dying.
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:52.400
I was dying.
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:53.599
Yeah, the hair was crazy.
00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:54.319
Dying.
00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:56.160
It just, you know, I look blown up.
00:32:56.240 --> 00:33:00.079
And I am You weren't wearing whoever was it made you look big.
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:01.759
Don't say that too.
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:02.799
We can cut that out.
00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:05.519
No, keep it because it's a family friend that dressed me.
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:07.279
Was it fan?
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:07.599
Again.
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:10.400
Family friend again needs to be involved in that kind of stuff.
00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:11.759
It didn't cut me right.
00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:13.359
I well, listen.
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:14.400
I thought you looked good.
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:15.359
I thought it was a nice color.
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:16.880
It was like that blue suede material.
00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:19.599
No, it was great that it was the the uh going with the background.
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:21.680
It went with the stage.
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:22.319
Yeah, yeah.
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:30.960
Well, and again, the whole thing's about body issues, so like there's a it looks right, but you know, my body's a constant thing in my life.
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:33.920
Like, and so like I stopped drinking, so that helps.
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:42.160
And then I went on the GLP one only because I was playing golf with my dad and this guy, Alan Horowitz, as most stories in Boca go.
00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:45.920
And Alan is like 80 in his 80s.
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:46.880
He used to run marathons.
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:48.480
This guy, like an in-shape dude.
00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:50.400
He's like, it's the best drug I've ever done.
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:51.759
I was like, You're on a GLP?
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:53.519
It's not like Alan's getting ready for spring break.
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:56.240
He goes, it's freed my break.
00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:57.680
He goes, it's freed my mind.
00:33:58.240 --> 00:33:59.519
He's he goes, it's freed my mind.
00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:00.160
I feel great.
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:01.519
I go, and and you know who else?
00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:04.799
Ben Soffer, uh boy with no job, who's become a good friend of mine.
00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:05.200
Yeah.
00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:07.920
He was like, dude, it's not about losing weight.
00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:09.440
Like it's about how you feel.
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:12.400
It's your mental real estate around food and eating and the routine.
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:13.519
Totally.
00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:23.039
Like I I and so then I went on it and it's been just it's it's taken the pressure off of so much I used to have pressure on.
00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:27.519
And then, you know, and then I start uh dating my now girlfriend.
00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:29.440
Yes, which we have to get into that.
00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:31.039
Let me say about time.
00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:32.480
Listen, I have to.
00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:33.679
The reason why we're here.
00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:40.320
The reason we're here, I have to thank you both for introducing me to the love of my life.
00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:50.320
I I just I love her so much, and I'm uh so I uh it's like uh and it's so the story is so crazy.
00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:51.039
Yep.
00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:52.880
Do you want to do we want to tell it?
00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:56.000
So I am on the I'm at the cellar.
00:34:56.079 --> 00:35:05.760
We're in the worst room at the cellar, the bar, the the the bar room where they used to have an open bar in the room with you, so you'd hear the martinis shaking and whatever.
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:06.800
So it's a tougher room.
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:08.320
But we love the cellar, that's homeless.
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:08.639
Yes.
00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:09.440
Modi's on the room.
00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:11.199
You don't understand the comedy cellar.
00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:19.360
There's a main room, there's uh the village underground, a little bigger room, a little lounge above that, and then there's this other room that used to be a bar.
00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:20.480
I've had good sets there.
00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:23.280
I've obviously that set I had in that night was good where I met.
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:29.920
So you were doing great, and then this woman is heckling, and you are crushing her.
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:33.840
Like it's just a professional crushing.
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:38.559
Like it wasn't mean, it was meant to, you know, it was an invited crushing.
00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:46.000
And Emily's in the front row and is laughing so hard she's crying at how much you're having fun in the moment.
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:52.960
And she's laughing so hard, and you look at her, and you're like playing her into the bit, and you say, Are you are you Jewish and single?
00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:58.239
And she's like, Yes, and then he's and then you go, uh, the next guy's cute and single and Jewish.
00:35:58.400 --> 00:35:59.119
You'll like him.
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:00.400
And that's how you got off stage.
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:01.360
Oh, I didn't know that.
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:03.760
Yeah, and then I go on stage.
00:36:03.920 --> 00:36:07.440
Emily doesn't remember a word I said, just Modi was hilarious.
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:08.719
Emily's in the room with us, by the way.
00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:11.280
Emily's here today, and because I was like, You gotta come.
00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:12.719
I'm doing you know the podcast.
00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:13.119
Right.
00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:16.320
And Emily, you then reached out to Leo.
00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:18.960
He posted it, he posted the interaction.
00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:26.320
You posted it on Instagram, and Emily reached out to like find out who the next guy was.
00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:28.559
And then we started interacting over DM.
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:29.519
Oh, wow.
00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:35.840
It ran out of steam, didn't happen, and then a year goes by and we match on Hinge.
00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:36.559
Wow.
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:38.719
And it's Emily from the Modi's stuff.
00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:42.239
So two more and I get to go to heaven, right?
00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:43.119
Yeah, you're almost there.
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:43.519
Okay.
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:45.280
So we're gonna get it.
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:46.480
I I'm not one to not give.
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:49.119
I have a friend who got married, has three kids, and I introduced them.
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:49.840
Mefagin.
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:52.400
And they're like, and they're like, oh, it would have happened anyways.
00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:52.880
Fuck off.
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:53.679
Give me this.
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:56.079
No, it's in Yiddish, it's called Mefagin.

Yeah, Mefogan, I like that.
00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:05.360
Whenever I get to a gig, a private gig, eight people will be, it's because of me, you're here.

It's because of me, you're I told them I've had that so far.

00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:16.000
So, you know, so and I always say thank you so much.

00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:18.159

Mafogan, I wish I knew that word last night.
00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:26.079
We were at 12 chairs.
00:37:26.239 --> 00:37:27.199
Oh, we love chairs.
00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:28.719
Who doesn't love 12 chairs?
00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:31.440
We're having dinner, al fresco, great meal.
00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:33.599
This guy comes up, Emily goes to the bathroom.
00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:35.920
This guy comes up to me and goes, Jason.
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:38.880
I go, I go, I'm not.
00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:39.920
I go, no.
00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:41.519
What am I supposed to say?
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:42.880
I go, no.
00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:44.239
You're not Jason?
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:45.840
No, I think I know my own name.
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:47.360
What's your name?
00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:48.159
Jared.
00:37:48.559 --> 00:37:51.199
He goes, Oh, you went to Camp Cedar.
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:52.960
I said, Yeah.
00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:54.320
He goes, we went there too.
00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:55.039
I told you.
00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:56.079
It's Jared.
00:37:56.719 --> 00:37:57.519
Camp Cedar.
00:37:57.599 --> 00:37:58.159
Him too.
00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:00.559
I'm like, well, that's not why you know me.
00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:03.519
You know me because I'm a comedian who happened to go to the same camp as you.
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:03.840
Yeah.
00:38:04.079 --> 00:38:04.800
You don't know any other.
00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:06.960
There's seven other people in here who went to Cedar.
00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:07.440
Fuck off.
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:08.880
Michhogan.
00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:09.760
Give me it.
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:10.559
Mephogan.
00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:11.280
Mephogin.
00:38:11.440 --> 00:38:11.679
Give it to me.
00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:14.480
He couldn't just say.
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:15.440
Just give it to you, Guru.
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:16.239
Just give it to me.
00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:18.320
Man, I know you because of your comedy.
00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:19.760
And we went to camp at the same place.
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:20.960
I feel a connection to you.
00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:23.920
Why don't you be a fucking nice mensch for two seconds?
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:25.119
I was so annoyed.
00:38:25.679 --> 00:38:26.800
I hope he hears this.
00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:28.000
They will, they do.
00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:30.159
So um, so then we start.
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:32.559
Someone someone from Cam Cedar is gonna hear this.
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:33.119
Do you understand that?
00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:36.800
And then it goes to the podcast effect.
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:37.760
That's the podcast.
00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:39.039
Especially in the Jewish world.
00:38:39.440 --> 00:38:40.559
Everyone's world channel.
00:38:40.960 --> 00:39:02.639
So then we get together on Hinge, you're the you know, the connection of that night, and you know, from there we dated, and and then we, you know, we get to a certain point, and I ended up ending it, and then we didn't talk for two and a half years, and then uh I'm going to Philly, and Emily lives in Philly, and I get a message uh that you know, hey, I know this.
00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:13.760
And I'd been thinking about her because I wrote a book, um, a dating book, and the dating book wasn't me telling people what to do, it was really me opening up about the insecurities and how I felt during dating.
00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:17.519
And that every man has that doesn't really get shown online.
00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:22.000
Like, I don't think male dating insecurities are really shown in an appropriate way.
00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:26.480
They're either angry men or men who are just being pieces of shit.
00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:28.320
So I was like, this is a reasonable book.
00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:33.920
And in the book, I go over like all these like reflections, and a lot of them were Emily and I dating.
00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:38.480
And then I had been thinking about her, and I got a text from her, hey, I didn't I saw you're in Philly.
00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:45.760
She saw I was in Philly because of my promoted post, so which is like they were working, they hit my algorithm.
00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:47.679
Thank God for father algorithm.
00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:52.880
And uh we went for coffee the day after my show, and you know, since then, you know, we've been uh together.
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:57.920
And so it's been so you guys come up, you know, in our story, and on our story page.
00:39:58.320 --> 00:39:58.559
Sweet.
00:39:58.719 --> 00:40:04.079
And it makes me so happy that uh, you know, because like every story is imperfect.
00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:06.400
Like if it's a perfect story, it's not worth telling.
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:09.039
You know, like it's not even a fun story to hear.
00:40:09.199 --> 00:40:09.440
Right.
00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:13.840
Stories, uh good stories have uh, you know, like the special.
00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:20.559
It has anger and empathy and frustrations and insecurities, and it's it's it's nice.
00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:22.000
I love that you guys are a part of it.
00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:24.480
So we are I'm I'm honored to be a part of it.
00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:30.000
And it again, you have to be three if you make three sheduchem, three, you get to go to heaven.
00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:32.159
Is I that's I didn't even know.
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:37.119
Well, and you know, Jewish women that's I'm going to heaven because I'm a common.
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:38.159
You've given a lot of happiness.
00:40:38.559 --> 00:40:38.800
So is he.
00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:40.480
I've I'm already set.
00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:40.639
Right.
00:40:40.880 --> 00:40:42.800
But for other people, and it's good to have a backup too.
00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:43.519
You know, totally.
00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:50.079
These federation events pay you half, and then the rest goes towards your heaven, you know, piggy bank.
00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:58.960
So um speaking of your what one of the best things that you do and did, I don't know if you still do it, when you just walk and talk about your dates.
00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:01.840
Oh, I you know, I I was I'm You haven't done that in a while.
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:02.480
It's been a while.
00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:04.400
I just you have somebody already.
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:11.679
I would walk and talk about pretty much everything, but like giving pep talks to single people and telling people how lucky they are to be able to do that.
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:16.000
Like, I'm the single guy, I'm out here in the trenches dating.
00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:18.480
I never saw it that way because I was always talking about just my life.
00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:22.960
You know, I I have it in my head, like I also kind of put you in like because you also like all those reality shows.
00:41:23.199 --> 00:41:23.679
Right, yeah, right.
00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:25.039
Yes, I forgot about that.
00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:32.320
But you guys know, and this is the thing, this is my hope for the special, is like we do everything to do stand-up.
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:34.400
You know, stand-up's the prize.
00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:47.599
You know, stand-up is the classic car that sits in your garage that you're working on and and buffing out, and and you get the new wheels and you're working on it at night in this off time of making the videos and doing the podcast.
00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:55.519
And it's like, you know, my my hope for the special is that it finds more of the people that already come see me.
00:41:55.679 --> 00:41:56.000
That's right.
00:41:56.159 --> 00:41:59.039
Because the people that come see me, I feel family in the room.
00:41:59.280 --> 00:41:59.840
I feel it.
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:07.199
I just and I say to them, I go watch the special because I want the algorithm to find you guys, but in Sacramento.
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:07.440
Right.
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:11.199
You know, like I so it is, you know, the brand thing.
00:42:11.440 --> 00:42:13.760
No one was ever, you know, casting me.
00:42:13.920 --> 00:42:17.920
No one was ever, hey, you're the new hot name in comedy.
00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:21.519
Like, I and I always was like, I gotta produce.
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:25.280
I gotta prove myself before some people they're very lucky.
00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:26.559
They don't have to prove themselves.
00:42:26.719 --> 00:42:26.880
Right.
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:31.840
I always that's why I started a podcast, that's why I yell at the bachelor, that's why I and these are all things I have fun.
00:42:32.159 --> 00:42:32.239
Right.
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:34.320
I always I have fun doing them.
00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:39.199
Yeah, I love doing them, but they're who I am is a stand-up, is a comic.
00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:49.039
So this special, you know, is really with the hope that it gets me to do more stand-up and kind of just like less of the other shit, you know.
00:42:49.199 --> 00:42:56.239
So absolutely and do the other shit better because right now I just do I'm I'm never shutting the fuck up.
00:42:56.480 --> 00:42:58.159
No, never, never, not at all.
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:05.199

Outside of Israel.
00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:12.400
And we keep asking, can you bring us something to bring on the show?
00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:13.920
I'm thinking like pull her off a book.
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:15.280
Leo's like, no, that's not how it works.
00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:17.760
You thought we were gonna walk by an exhibition case we were gonna open up.
00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:20.960
Grab a book and pop it open and here there's a book that they saved from the walls.
00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:22.400
So anyway, we brought our own artifact.
00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:24.400
So I brought my own artifact.
00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:26.079
I can't believe you saved this for the end.
00:45:26.159 --> 00:45:27.440
I think this is such a wonderful thing.
00:45:28.079 --> 00:45:29.039
No, this is amazing.
00:45:29.119 --> 00:45:31.039
In we found out Show it to the camera.
00:45:31.199 --> 00:45:32.639
In um we'll embed it.
00:45:33.119 --> 00:45:35.760
In 2003, that's what we put together.
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:38.159
July, uh July 2003.
00:45:38.239 --> 00:45:45.199

Uh and we did it in the theater here at the uh at the Center for Jewish History, and it was uh it was a great show.
00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:55.119
And um and that's the only archive we've gotten.
00:45:55.360 --> 00:45:56.960
Could you imagine that we've been here?
00:45:57.039 --> 00:45:58.480
Uh are they gonna put this up?
00:45:58.639 --> 00:46:01.760
I I'm I'm I'm that's a beautiful, first of all, it's a great poster.
00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:02.320
Yeah, I like it.
00:46:02.559 --> 00:46:02.960
I love the colors.
00:46:03.599 --> 00:46:04.079
I can't believe it.
00:46:04.159 --> 00:46:05.360
It is old, it's fun.
00:46:05.519 --> 00:46:08.800
It's old, but it's like I can't believe how ahead of your time.
00:46:09.280 --> 00:46:10.639
Like that's a real poster.
00:46:10.719 --> 00:46:12.079
Like that's a poster that you would see.
00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:14.000
Like, have you ever gone to the uh Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:14.480
Yeah, yeah.
00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:16.559
And they show all the posters, they have that room of posters.
00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:17.840
That looks like it could be on the wall then.
00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:23.760
Yeah, to be honest with you, I think this was made by back then I was managed by Eric Hansen.
00:46:23.920 --> 00:46:25.039
And he you remember him?
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:25.920
Yeah, yeah.
00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:29.760
So he made this poster and uh and said this is a great place for a show.
00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:30.239
Let's do it.
00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:33.440
Mentions of comedy, and we So we're now putting something in the archive today.
00:46:33.679 --> 00:46:36.159
So now I'm putting I brought I brought them something for the archive.
00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:36.880
I love that.
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:39.679
Instead of giving me menorah that survived the war.
00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:41.360
Well, they should have a comedy section.
00:46:41.440 --> 00:46:44.639
I mean, like, talk about Freddie Roman, like why don't they have a in Israel?
00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:48.719
The Anu Museum has a whole section of for comedy.
00:46:48.880 --> 00:46:57.280
They've so realized that comedy is such a part of Jewish history that they have a whole section, and of course, a video of mine and a picture of me and the whole thing.
00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:01.039
And I pop out and Emily sits here and you guys can do just a little bit.
00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:02.159
Sure.
00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:02.400
Yeah.
00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:03.360

00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:08.159
Take a seat.
00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:09.119
Emily's gonna have to.
00:47:09.360 --> 00:47:10.000
Emily came.
00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:11.039
We had to have her hair.
00:47:11.599 --> 00:47:13.599
Well, she she came to the studio ready.
00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:14.480
Look at that makeup.
00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:15.280
The teeth are great.
00:47:16.079 --> 00:47:17.679
The hair, the hairs, did you blow it out?
00:47:17.760 --> 00:47:18.239
It's gorgeous.
00:47:18.320 --> 00:47:18.960
Your hair's gorgeous.
00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:21.039
Your kids will have beautiful hair.
00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:22.239
That we're gonna have bright hair.
00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:22.800
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:25.280
As an officiant of weddings.
00:47:25.519 --> 00:47:25.760
Ooh.
00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:26.719
Yes.
00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:28.719
This is a sneak attack.
00:47:28.800 --> 00:47:29.519
I didn't see this coming.
00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:30.079
No, no, no.
00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:38.000
I just I'm just telling you, you know, if you find your if you know the right person's there, the soulmate energy, you have to always ask yourself, will you two create Mashiach energy?
00:47:38.480 --> 00:47:39.280
Do you know what that is?
00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:40.400
Meshiach.
00:47:41.039 --> 00:47:42.320
Messiah, messianic energy.
00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:46.079
That's what the goal is in Judaism, to get to a messianic state.
00:47:46.320 --> 00:47:46.639
You know that.
00:47:47.119 --> 00:47:48.159
I I'm learning it now.
00:47:48.480 --> 00:47:53.039
As you do a comedy show and you're watching everybody dying of laughter, all laughing together.
00:47:53.119 --> 00:47:55.760
You have a room of 2,000 people laughing together.
00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:58.159
That's that's messianic energy.
00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:00.239
Uh unity in laughter and harmony.
00:48:00.719 --> 00:48:00.960
I love it.
00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:01.760
I love it.
00:48:02.079 --> 00:48:07.199
Yeah, and that's so when you're date, when you're with somebody, you need to make sure it's Mashiach energy.
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:10.800
When me and Leo look at all he does, yeah, I I don't I just walk on stage.
00:48:10.880 --> 00:48:11.920
I nothing else I do.
00:48:12.079 --> 00:48:12.239
Right.
00:48:12.400 --> 00:48:14.079
I walk on stage, he does everything.
00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:15.920
I swear to God, I just show up.
00:48:16.079 --> 00:48:17.920
I show up and give 150%.
00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:21.519
We were talking before that you you answer emails or something.
00:48:21.599 --> 00:48:22.000
You're not.
00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:22.880
I'm doing everything.
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:23.840
I do everything.
00:48:24.320 --> 00:48:27.280
This is no, I am I'm a one-stop show.
00:48:27.440 --> 00:48:28.079
I need to do less.
00:48:28.239 --> 00:48:30.159
I Emily's been telling me.
00:48:30.559 --> 00:48:31.599
And you're in wealth management.
00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:32.000
Yeah.
00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:34.800
And wealth management, again, wealth is energy.
00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:35.679
Money is energy.
00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:36.960
And so you manage that.
00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:40.079
It's a crazy thing to manage energy, that kind of that kind of energy.
00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:42.159
Listen, DM me to get involved with Emily too.
00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:43.840
I'll take I'll answer her emails too.
00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:45.760
We gotta make sure she gets some more assistance.
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:47.920
Yeah, we need some more assets under management.
00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:50.639
We got what is the number one thing you like about Jared?
00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:51.440
Oh, come on.
00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:53.920
What is the that is a great question?
00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:59.679
I you know, any room he walks into, people look at him and just like immediately feel connected to him.
00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:00.320
Amazing.
00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:03.760
And it's just the it's your energy that you give other people.
00:49:03.920 --> 00:49:05.840
People feel comfortable the second they're with you.
00:49:06.079 --> 00:49:08.559
And it's just something that's so palpable and it makes me comfortable.
00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:11.440
I'm like generally kind of a more nervous person, I think.
00:49:11.679 --> 00:49:13.679
And you really like to calm everyone around you.
00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:15.519
That's I don't know how to take a calm.
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:17.199
You like about me.
00:49:21.760 --> 00:49:22.639
How about Emily?
00:49:23.039 --> 00:49:26.880
Uh I just I love she is a calming person.
00:49:27.199 --> 00:49:29.840
She makes me feel I call her the human hum.
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:34.639
It is just makes me feel so at ease, and people notice it about me.
00:49:34.719 --> 00:49:36.719
I didn't even notice it about myself.
00:49:36.800 --> 00:49:40.880
Like people say, oh, you seem so I I got a text yesterday, you seem centered.
00:49:40.960 --> 00:49:42.000
I've never felt centered.
00:49:42.159 --> 00:49:42.639
Well, well you're not.
00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:47.840
I don't even know what that means, but I was like, it Emily has an effect on well, you've also stopped drinking and paying taxes.
00:49:48.239 --> 00:49:48.639
But that's true.
00:49:48.719 --> 00:49:48.960
That's true.
00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:50.000
So that's how that helps everything.
00:49:50.960 --> 00:49:59.840
The way Emily calms people down and and and just loves is just like, you know, something that I just uh you know, it makes me happy.
00:49:59.920 --> 00:50:05.039
You know, so um no, and and we are complimentary eaters.
00:50:05.440 --> 00:50:06.000
What does that mean?
00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:08.239
We're good at a menu.
00:50:08.480 --> 00:50:16.559
We we are we know I I know what she's thinking, he knows what I'm thinking when it comes to something on a menu.
00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:19.280
Like it's just we are simpatico.
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:23.440
We can get a third sandwich and we're gonna both be happy with that third sandwich.
00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:28.559
Oh, well, so so here's here's here's someone's listening being like Jared, you fucking asshole.
00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:30.159
Emily gave such a sweet answer.
00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:34.559
I can't uh No, it's a big it's a big thing to take the pressure off of a restaurant order.
00:50:34.880 --> 00:50:35.920
No pressure on us.
00:50:36.400 --> 00:50:38.800
Later on in life, you'll see that you'll need glasses.
00:50:39.039 --> 00:50:42.400
And if but if you're married to someone 22 years younger, you don't.
00:50:42.719 --> 00:50:43.119
You don't.
00:50:43.519 --> 00:50:44.800
That's why you call Leo the glasses.
00:50:44.960 --> 00:50:56.239
Instead of me sitting like this in a restaurant that has one Yortsite candle lighting the whole place, pitch black, and the rest and the menus written in Rashi print, right?
00:50:56.719 --> 00:50:58.800
Uh Leo lives like this.
00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:01.920
He'll have the Bronzino with absolutely no bacon on it.
00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:02.880
Yeah, like Leo.
00:51:03.360 --> 00:51:06.400
So it's a big thing to the uh complimentary eating.
00:51:06.480 --> 00:51:07.119
That's amazing.
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:10.559
I I was wondering why you called Leo Bifocals.
00:51:11.199 --> 00:51:14.320
And this was great.
00:51:14.400 --> 00:51:14.639

It's a family, it's a family event.
00:51:34.159 --> 00:51:36.719
It's not something you just watch and just go to bed afterwards.
00:51:36.880 --> 00:51:39.840
Make it a family, it's an amazing thing to do with your parents.
00:51:39.920 --> 00:51:40.880
You go visit your parents.
00:51:41.280 --> 00:51:42.239

00:53:05.039 --> 00:53:05.679
It's such a pleasure.
00:53:05.760 --> 00:53:09.679
You go to London, you go, I I have so many moments, and like I want to go back.
00:53:09.760 --> 00:53:15.440
I want to go with Emily because like I, you know, when I'm sitting there and you have a show, you're you're sold out already, you got more.

It's just such a wonderful, don't you have that feeling?
00:53:23.280 --> 00:53:26.480
When you go, you go, the first shows I ever produced for Modi were in London.
00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:26.880
Really?
00:53:26.960 --> 00:53:28.880
Yeah, when that show first took over my whole thing.
00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:29.119
Yeah.
00:53:29.679 --> 00:53:33.679
Well, this production thing, we couldn't get a uh production, uh, we couldn't get a promo promoter to work with us.
00:53:33.760 --> 00:53:38.320
And he was like, he called up the place, sent$40,000 in as a deposit.
00:53:38.800 --> 00:53:40.800
We sold that one show, two, three, four, five.
00:53:41.280 --> 00:53:42.719
And then we went to now, right.
00:53:43.119 --> 00:53:44.000
That's the one.
00:53:44.079 --> 00:53:49.920
So you're in London in November, then you're in Toronto, that's an event from McGendavita Dome, but you can get tickets for it.

00:53:58.960 --> 00:54:01.760
Sacramento, that's the rescheduled show because you had a flight cancellation.

Great time.
00:54:02.559 --> 00:54:03.119
December 7th.
00:54:03.360 --> 00:54:05.599
Sacramento, one of the most underrated comedy cities.
00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:06.000
It is.
00:54:06.239 --> 00:54:07.440
Great comedy city.
00:54:07.679 --> 00:54:09.039
It's gonna be that show wise.
00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:11.760
Nashville's gonna be amazing.
00:54:11.920 --> 00:54:13.519
I love I'm looking forward to those shows.
00:54:13.679 --> 00:54:14.800
You know why Sacramento's so good?
00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:15.039
Why?
00:54:15.199 --> 00:54:22.480
Because it's close enough to San Francisco to they're like the sibling of San Francisco that's like, yeah, they're just doing their thing.
00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:24.559
Like they, yeah, they're crazy there.
00:54:24.719 --> 00:54:25.440
They're crazy there.
00:54:25.519 --> 00:54:29.119
And then Sacramento's like has like a little bit of awareness and normalcy.
00:54:29.440 --> 00:54:33.440
We're also about to announce a big show in December in LA at the Wiltern Theater.

00:54:49.280 --> 00:54:49.760

00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:52.960
What you have figured out in this relationship is show up.
00:54:53.199 --> 00:54:54.480
I've never heard of such a thing.
00:54:54.719 --> 00:54:55.119
It's insane.
00:54:55.360 --> 00:54:55.920
I'm sitting there.
00:54:56.639 --> 00:54:58.320
Monetize your husband.
00:54:59.280 --> 00:55:00.400
He tattooed his eyes.
00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:01.920
This is this is the movie to Florida.
00:55:02.159 --> 00:55:03.679
This is the movie to Florida, cost less.
00:55:03.920 --> 00:55:06.400
He tattooed an M on his on his chest, right?
00:55:06.639 --> 00:55:11.199
So uh we're we're dancing at a uh at a um a gay event.
00:55:11.440 --> 00:55:12.639
At a gay event, short list.
00:55:12.880 --> 00:55:15.920
And and and some queen goes up and goes, what's the M for?
00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:20.800
And and and it's either Mshiach, Remoti, or monetize.
00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:22.960
So he says to the guy, it's for Modi.
00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:25.039
He goes, it's for mind your own business.
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:27.199
But monetize is one of the M's.
00:55:27.360 --> 00:55:28.719
Monetize monetize your husband.
00:55:28.960 --> 00:55:31.280
Monetize, moisturize, be nice to each other.
00:55:31.360 --> 00:55:39.280
And um, if you're enjoying the podcast, like it or hit the five stars on Spotify because it helps, again, feed it to other people who might like it too.
00:55:39.760 --> 00:55:47.599
Also, quick before we end, uh, the high holidays are coming up, and ladies and gentlemen, Sixth Street Synagogue is a place you should have been.
00:55:47.840 --> 00:55:48.159

Jared's been there.
00:55:49.280 --> 00:55:50.400
It's a very inviting place.
00:55:50.559 --> 00:55:54.800
And you can dress exactly the way he's dressed, jeans and a t-shirt on your way somewhere.
00:55:55.199 --> 00:55:55.519
Dress nicely.
00:55:55.760 --> 00:55:56.000

But it's a very casual place.
00:55:58.639 --> 00:55:59.840
It's Modi will be there.
00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:00.639
And I'll be there.
00:56:00.719 --> 00:56:04.320
And please uh Sixth Street Synagogue, rub a Bellino, it's gonna be amazing.
00:56:04.559 --> 00:56:09.199
It's fun because you watch Modi go up and it's like you you're like the mayor.
00:56:09.280 --> 00:56:10.079
It's so great.
00:56:10.239 --> 00:56:14.000

00:56:14.400 --> 00:56:14.719
