Yep , I do three shows a week , three hour shows . I work on all my material and it's great and the audiences are great and I love it . Okay , and I have a house there , whatever . So , and I hate leaving there , like I'm sure you hate leaving Fire Island , right , yeah no , but okay , I hate it .
Speaker 4I mean I . I've had that house since 1994 .
Speaker 3Wow .
Speaker 4I spent the pandemic there Like it's a special place . I love it , I walk out of my house .
Speaker 1I see the water . We call it a vinkel . That's your corner of the world .
Speaker 4Right , that is it your corner to vinkel . Yeah , I kind of want to start a synagogue in town too , anyway , but that's a hell of a story . So I'm like you know , it takes me days to pack because I'm so I'm like procrastinate and procrastinate , you're the worst . I hate fucking packing , even though I've been doing it for 40 fucking years . Anyway , so I get home , I'm like okay , and I'm really worried about reentry , because Ben and his girlfriend spent the entire summer in my apartment .
Speaker 2So her son , her younger son .
Speaker 4And of course I walk in no toilet paper Like who the ?
Speaker 3fuck . Leaves the apartment without knowing the espresso pods .
Speaker 4No , Nespresso pod and the TV remote gone and he does it . He's like , oh well , it was clean , I don't care , I can't turn on the fucking TV . There's no toilet paper .
Speaker 3So your thing is you can use the house , but just leave it stocked .
Speaker 1Airbnb with your kids Right .
Speaker 4It's like I give them like , just like . The worst is the toilet paper .
Speaker 3Yeah , I think the toilet paper is pretty bad , right .
Speaker 4After a five fucking hour drive and then , I walk in and it's a fucking you know cardboard roll . Sorry , ben , ben ridiculous .
Speaker 3Ben , you're on the shit list , so Henry would never , I don't think Henry would do that .
Speaker 1The first time I ever felt old not old , but like , like as an older person , I know what story you're going to spend .
Speaker 3I know , I was .
Speaker 1I hadn't seen Henry in years years and I go to do a show at West Side Comedy Club and this very handsome young man comes over , taps me on the shoulder and he goes hi , I'm Henry Judy Goldson , and like an idiot , it flew out of your mouth . I was there , I just came out of my mouth so fast . I was at your brist . I felt like a 90 . I wanted to get out of that club .
Speaker 4You were at Ben's brist , not Henry . You were at both , both .
Speaker 1When you had to fight with your mother , I was at both of them . Oh right , yeah , you had to fight with your mother . She didn't come .
Speaker 4I after I said that .
Speaker 1I wanted to . I know after I said that I wanted to walk outside and jump in front of a bus , I can't believe . I said I was at your brist . He loved it .
Speaker 4He loved it Because I don't have any money . So all right , so I get here and you know , reentry is really hard . What do ?
Speaker 3you mean reentry ? Was this reentry ? Reentry from the like ?
Speaker 4come back from Like I'm reentering into New York . Yes , yes .
Speaker 1Those of you who don't know P town , province town it's like a little world of its own .
Speaker 4Yeah , Gay world Artist colony Artist Like beautiful yeah .
Speaker 1With one big drag and you just see gays walking back and forth and back and forth . Okay , that's your experience that big sign of Judy's face by the theater . You just guys , and , and what's it just ?
Speaker 4that , but they have . It's not only guys , but they do have like theme weeks Like they have bear weeks . Bear weeks , the best .
Speaker 2I've been there for bear weeks . The week .
Speaker 4They're the nice , the bears are the nicest I heard .
Speaker 1there's why it's made this week , which sounds horrible .
Speaker 4Well , that they go to all the drag , like that's what's horrible about this , like sort of you know , drag being popular , it's now lost .
Speaker 2It's sort of you know edgy , yeah , subversive for the audience , Not for the .
Speaker 4I think the drag queens are great , Anyway . So I'm like , okay , I'm here . I ordered Chinese food . I'm like , okay , everything's fine . And then I had to go in the subway to do a set and I walk and Henry came with me and I walk in the subway and there's a guy lying at the bottom of the stairs , no shoes on , like this going , and I'm just like I can't , I can't fucking deal with this .
Speaker 3You know we call that whenever you encounter something like really harsh in the city , Modi and I just call it ambiance we're like , oh , there's a lot of ambiance in this .
Speaker 4Yeah , so that was major ambiance . Okay , so that's what I I going to my spot . I'm like , okay , then I go to the set , okay , and I go back to 23rd street to get on the subway . That subway stop is closed now to go downtown . Turn on turning off my phone .
Speaker 1Okay , that's why stop is closed .
Speaker 4So Henry's like well , why don't we go To the downtown one and go to 14th Street and then take the express and look , I'm 60 years old , I'm done waiting for fucking , so we go downtown . I said fine , uber , right , so I go down there and it's 12 fucking minutes For an Uber for a fucking subway .
Speaker 4Oh so I said , no , we're getting a cab , we're an Uber . So we go up . There's no cabs . Finally he sees a cab and we go , and so 40 , 45 to like it's . I don't even make money , but I have to do it , but it's just like it's so hard , everything's so hard . It's not like it used to be . You know , adams sucks , he sucks . He's a terrible mayor . This place is out of fucking control .
Speaker 3No , I don't know that sometimes we're just getting from point A to point B is so hard and exhausting and taxing and it used to be that it wasn't because we had the subway , we had the bus .
Speaker 4You know , I ride my bike a lot of places . I just I can't . It's , it's getting too hard like I walk out of my house a part of our , a part of .
Speaker 1We have a driver . We were my . When we finish our taxes at the end of the year , my account says to me Do you want to know what you spent on Uber ? I could have bought two more cars . I said no , because we Uber everywhere . Right , it's as though we have a driver and that's a salaried person in our life , and that's how we just , that's how we do . We Uber everywhere .
Speaker 4We just I can't , I can't do it , I it's it's awful , it's but it shouldn't be like and let me play something , sometimes even the uber blow like you , unless you pay for the nice , nice ones I have .
Speaker 3What's your rating on uber ? I'm a high . I have a .
Speaker 4Yeah , I have like a 5.0 on left and on uber . Like what did I do ? Like the back of a no , I think that you know if I'm on the phone talking loud or I do think like we've been kicked out of cabs , elise and I , for kissing like get out of my cat .
Speaker 3Yeah , we've experienced a lot of that shit yeah in uber , is you can ? Yeah , I feel nervous about that stuff sometime .
Speaker 4Yeah , I know , but you know what happened to me . I was on in an uber . Yeah and it's a woman and she has a picture of her kids and I'm like , oh , you know , good for her and she's playing Jesus religious radio and I post on Twitter before fucking Elon Musk took over . What , what you know , because I really want to know what people's opinions are about Religious , you know . Go getting into a cab or what , and having to listen to religious .
Speaker 4You know , and they all start attacking , like I was literally asking , I didn't get . I gave her five stars , right ? I respect her .
Speaker 3I think it's rude .
Speaker 4I think it is rude and inappropriate .
Speaker 3Yeah , yeah , but I didn't like everyone's accused me Fuck you , judy , you're you know I think it's rude , right ? I don't think it's appropriate . You're paying for a service and like , you can play music , yeah , sure , but like , just like when I get into a cabin , sometimes they're listening to like I don't know , I got , I've got .
Speaker 1I've gotten into a few times this happened that the guys playing somebody reading the Quran . Yeah , that by the way is very soothing .
Speaker 2It sounds like .
Speaker 3Like Sephardic people reading their Torah right , I don't think you should be playing Jesus .
Speaker 2You can't . You're at work , thank you , you're at work . You don't work . Yeah , you're at work .
Speaker 3Well , the thing that blows my mind is when you can tell that the drivers are smoking in the car . Oh yeah , in between people . I'm like this is your like work and I have to come in here and sit and pay to sit in here and it smells like shit and it's a health hazard .
Speaker 2See as a former smoker , those were my favorite abs to get in because it meant that I could smoke .
Speaker 1Not for nothing . It's a lot of young people are smoking now . Yeah , it's coming back . I'm in shock .
Speaker 4Well , it's because of their anxiety , and you know there's so much shit going on . I think they're hopeless . Look at fucking climate change .
Speaker 2I smoked .
Speaker 4I smoked from . I think I started when I was like 15 or 16 Till about 23 and then what happened ? Okay , my ex . I went and met her parents and they both smoked three packs of cigarettes a day and the walls were like yellow . Yeah we're sitting there . Oh god , my stomach looks horrible on this . Okay , and we're sitting there .
Speaker 3I can crop it .
Speaker 4Yeah , you better do something .
Speaker 2You look great , shut up , you look amazing you just look so good .
Speaker 1You've been posting some old clips . You look like Liza Minnelli , you look like a classic , oh my god , or .
Speaker 4Patty Lepone Wait , so I go to visit . I see I meet her parents for the first time they both and we're eating dinner and they're like , and I was like I am . I am never smoking .
Speaker 3Really , that's what did it for you . It was cold turkey .
Speaker 4I , yeah , I , but I kept the pack . I read this thing keep the pack because part of the addiction is going out and buying it and then packing it , opening it up , and so I kept a pack there . So I didn't , you know , and I never smoked again .
Speaker 1My mother quit cold turkey from three packs a day but she kept cigarette packs all over the house for a long time right , yeah , yeah , security blanket my mom , my aunt , who died because of cancer from from smoking . I guess they grew up in a time where you looked at it was okay .
Speaker 4People will .
Speaker 1I just read the coolest thing that you know
Israel, LGBTQ Rights, and Criticism Discussion
Speaker 1.
Speaker 4I remember I went to the movie theater people , you could smoke in the movie theater . You smoke on the plane .
Speaker 2I remember smoke about that .
Speaker 4Oh wait , I don't know I used to go on the road right and I would come home and I would open my suitcase and it was like a waft of smoke Would come out . Am I ? All my clothes smelled ? People would . It was awful .
Speaker 1No , we used to go out at night to , and then you'd have to like set all your clothes on fire because they smelled . But the kids today , kids today , the 20 year olds , whether they know how bad this is , yeah , they know , but they don't care because they think we're leaving they have a picture of the actual cancer right someone dying , and so many this conversation is horrible , okay , okay .
Speaker 2I have a wait , I have a real question for you what , why , why you rolling your eyes ?
Speaker 4Because I have to tell you what happened at the comedy .
Speaker 4Oh , that was okay , we sorry , we realize we didn't so um , last night I did come to pop up , which was great , and then I did a set at the Village Underground and I I , in the beginning of my set , right now I'm talking about my trip to Israel . I wanted an LGBTQ plus mission to Israel and it was incredible . So I talk about Israel and I'm very pro Israel , I you know , although I do think the government right now Sucks horribly . I think it's a young country with a shitty government that does Not good things , but I think that about this country , yeah , or a young country with a lot of shitty people in the government .
Speaker 4Anyway , I mean , it really mirrors the United States , but I I want to talk about , you know , democracy and the United States . So I , it's . It's sort of this I talk about going to Israel and and sort of educating people , and my joke is that you can do things in Israel now that you can no longer do here . So when I got there , I said to Alisa , my lover , you know we're here , I think I'll get an abortion right and it gets a huge laugh and then I say it was a food bait , whatever . So this woman screams out apartheid .
Speaker 1Oh , wow .
Speaker 4And I'm like , and I'm still talking , and she's like Israel's an apartheid state , and I'm like , wow how did you handle that ? You know , then they come over and talk to her , right , I said really it's a comedy club . Israel's not an apartheid state , it's not . Did you say that ? Yeah ?
Speaker 1So whenever we post anything that has anything , well , anything I say that sounds a little Jewish to the right , right , free Palestine . Right , free Palestine .
Speaker 4I mean , I met with Palestinians . We met with Palestinians there . Did you know that ? The LGBTQ centers we went to a bunch and shelter and we marched in the Jerusalem Pride Parade . If a Palestinian escapes a gay or trans and they go to Israel to find you know , Refuge Right , they take them in , they counsel them , they provide them with medical care and shelter . There was even a Palestinian social worker at the LGBTQ center in Haifa who was there just to deal with Palestinians . And yes , there's so many shitty things going on there .
Speaker 1But there's a lot of Meshach energy there too . There's a lot of great things to yes .
Speaker 4You know and I just want to say , like you know , anti-zionists , like Israel has a right to exist , right , and that's what I believe . Zionists like I think they have a right to exist and I think they have a right to defend themselves . Do I agree ? Like I do think the Palestinians should have their own , I think I believe in a two state solution and I don't believe in , you know , human rights abuses , which you know . Look at this country .
Speaker 3Yes , look at this .
Speaker 4I mean , look , we put kids in cages . You know , it's just that everything the Jews do is put under a different lens . And I'm just talking on stage and this vitriol , and I said at the end you know , I appreciate your passion , you know , but read , read .
Speaker 1Right , they are on their , that's it . They're on their , that's their go-to thing . And we had a guest on here that was explaining the difference between being anti-Semitic and anti-Israel , but it's a combined like . They're yelling at the kids on the college campus . What are you doing with Israel ? This kid's on a college campus . He comes from New Jersey , he has no idea what's happening or controlling it , but she's blaming him for everything happening in Israel .
Speaker 4Right . I mean , do you criticize ? You know ? You know , Italy , it's all Catholic . Do you say , Can we ?
Speaker 1switch the conversation .
Speaker 4Yeah , but I just said it was kind of like .
Speaker 1Judy Gold . I'm sitting here in front of Judy Gold , who is just an icon period , and I remember my first time meeting Judy Gold . It was in a gay bar called Uncle Charlie's .
Speaker 4Oh , my God .
Speaker 1I was doing comedy , maybe three weeks , and someone said there's a club and there's a this and I said okay , and I wasn't like out on stage you weren't out . But by the way , last night I was on Godfrey's podcast . He said you always came around with guys , you always came around with girls too , but I was never in the closet with the comedians and on stage I just wasn't gay . But anyway , it was Uncle Charlie . Wait , you're gay , like nervous , just nervous . I got it and Judy , so I go into this gay bar called Uncle Charlie's and she's like the main show and we were like whatever , they're gonna slip in . You know , if you and she was so mean , you were like he'll go after me . I was , yeah , yeah , I remember
Comedy and Parenting Challenges and Changes
Speaker 1it was . So it was like there was a , there was a whoever's going on and off and you saw like they're gonna put two before you and then- Well , because they always did that to women , Like you know , first of all , we never got to work together women , Because when I started there , would One per show .
Speaker 4One per show , if there was one at all . And then Comedy you Grand had Thursday nights was all female comedians and that was the only night we got five dollars . That was the only night we all got to work together . That's one Thursday night and so every time I would walk . It was very hard being a female closer in the , you know , late 80s , 90s because there was so much misogyny and they would do things to try to fuck you up so you didn't do well . A lot of clubs like on the road .
Speaker 1Really Like what .
Speaker 4Like I remember , I went to Arizona and they put a guitar act .
Speaker 1Oh , no Like . Who did like ?
Speaker 440 minutes , oh , in front . And I'm like , why , like just to , because you want me to fail ?
Speaker 1For the audience . Just to you know , a guitar act is , like the most , one of the most miserable things to follow . The audience is mesmerized with the fact that this guy can do these things with his hands .
Speaker 4And they're dumbed down and they're dumbed down .
Speaker 1He makes these things rhyme he's different than common . And then you come on with material and they're like really .
Speaker 4Don't you have a guitar ? Can't you rhyme Right Ugh ? Yeah , we're not listening . We don't have to listen .
Speaker 1Well , yeah , get the guitar guy back . It's the worst .
Speaker 4Yeah , I experienced a lot of that and I'm sorry I was mean , I didn't mean to be mean .
Speaker 1No , it's okay . People would tell me , like they , I was always in a rush .
Speaker 3People say you were mean , you were a brusque .
Speaker 4Yeah , because you're so like I want to go do my set .
Speaker 4And then someone is like , oh sorry , and you're like what ? Like no , I came here , you told me one thing and now you're changing it . It's really hard because you know I'm doing this , as I said , 40 years going on , 41 in December , and you know , you , just , you still have anxiety . Never . You want to kill , you want to , but you get to a point where you're like , you know , have some respect for me , you know , and my time and so what are the crowds like at your shows in P-town ?
Speaker 1Oh , my God , the best .
Speaker 3Smart , Smart . They love you . What do you think is the split of like ?
Speaker 4I get straight people .
Speaker 3LGBTQ .
Speaker 4Oh , it's a lot of gays , but I get a lot of straight people . You know , look , I came up in the straight clubs and then I came out in 96 when . Henry was born and I came out as a gay parent , which I think .
Speaker 3On stage . You just started talking about it .
Speaker 4Of course I have this kid and I'm not going to lie Like I knew .
Speaker 1It's funny . I came out as a gay married man to a millennial . That was like I didn't just go hi , I'm gay and this is what I the next time I was like hi , I'm married to my husband . He's 22 years younger and I go from there , and it's more focused on that .
Speaker 4Right , so when you it used , yeah , I did not lie about my age .
Speaker 1It was a joke .
Speaker 4Calm left , fuck down Anyway . No , but I came out . I say this in my show that was based on my book that you didn't come to . Who ?
Speaker 2didn't come to your show , oh , okay .
Speaker 1We didn't go to your show .
Speaker 4Did you go to ? Yes , I can say that .
Speaker 1No one invited us . No one invites us oh really no one invites us .
Speaker 4So like when you go see a show , dude , you have , like you know , let's see Michael Yuri call you and say can you come to my show ?
Speaker 3I tell you something that's the only time Modi knows to show up to a show .
Speaker 1When Colin says , hey , I'm doing a show . Okay , you think I'm sitting here trying to learn lines and I'm like oh .
Speaker 4God , I have to tell Modi I'm doing a new show . Well , you should your publicist and have her .
Speaker 2Do you follow me on Instagram ?
Speaker 1I do . Okay , I don't like .
Speaker 4Cariel , it's your fault . Okay , anyway , it's not . No , it's not I actually came . Guilt , that's what you can call the episode .
Speaker 1Judy Guilt .
Speaker 4No . So anyway , I say this in the show and it's true that you know I came out because of my child , but it was because of him that it made it easier for me to come out on stage , because I'm talking about being a parent . I'm not talking about , and God bless , all the people that came before me who were out , but a lot of them were working in gay clubs because the mainstream clubs didn't , but I didn't have any material . I'm in this relationship Like I wasn't . You also got help .
Speaker 1I had no material either for that , and I wasn't comfortable .
Speaker 4It was like the fucking 80s . So it definitely changed the whole trajectory of my career , which you also got a lot changed , didn't you ?
Speaker 2in the hospital A what the law changed about .
Speaker 4Oh , yeah , yeah , yeah , I got not in the hospital , but when Sharon and I broke up , she hadn't adopted Ben and you know my family's like Dad , dad , let her in , no , it's his . And I'm like you know what . Here's the deal . I had those kids with her and I didn't want Henry going back and forth and Ben , just like they're brunt . They should be brothers .
Speaker 1Right , yeah .
Speaker 4So we went to court and it was a precedent set in case in the state of New York that I allowed my ex , or petition for my ex . First of all , she's not genetically linked to Ben . We didn't live together , we weren't legally married , there was no marriage at that time and it was a precedent set in case that the judge let her adopt .
Speaker 2And then I thought it said mother-in-law my building now .
Speaker 1Can you could enclose your terrace ? I said I I had the department of buildings .
Speaker 4Oh , that thing , yes I did petition .
Speaker 1You can legally enclose your terrace in Seward Park and- .
Speaker 3Thank you , that's great , and that's what great people do for your service to the community . I also Because it was .
Speaker 2you told me that it was mother and father , so all the forms .
Speaker 4well , first it started in school . My kids went to public school and everything said mother and father . And I remember I contacted Christine Quinn and I just said you know , look , it's not only that , it's not only for same-sex parents . People lost their parents in the World Trade Center , people's parents are incarcerated , people's parents die of cancer . Like it's not right , it should not say mother and father , should say parent , guardian , parent , guardian . And they changed the forms in the public schools . So that was good .
Speaker 4But then the one thing I think you're talking about Ben got his tonsils taken out and the whole time we're there . First of all , I wrote an article about it and we were at the doctor making the appointment for the surgery and the nurse is like doing the checkout stuff and she says and he's on Sharon's insurance , and she says who's the real mother in front of Ben . And I said are you asking who the biological mother is ? I'll answer that . But don't you ever ask a same-sex parent who the real ? And I always had to like you know how ? You can just get , you get in a cab and they're like , oh , you're married . And you could just be like , yeah , whatever , but when you're with your child . You can never do that .
Speaker 3Right , yeah .
Speaker 4So I always was firm and tried to be kind . But you know like that really pissed me off , so I changed the forms and that like with the Sharpie . Then we go into surgery and they come out and say one of you can go in with him and one of you can be there at the end when he wakes up . And Ben's like I don't care , you know whatever . And we see another couple there with their kid and they both go in and I said , excuse me , why ? Well , it's a parent , you know .
Speaker 3And again we both went in .
Speaker 4Okay then . So and the form still said mother and father . You know on the hospital forms Okay , anyway , he gets his tonsils out , we bring him home . He's , you know , he's sleeping . And I go out to get him ice cream and I'm walking to the ice cream place and he calls me up . He's like mommy , they just called . You know , they did the followup call to see how he was . They just called from the hospital and they're like is your mother or father there ? And I didn't know what to say and I was like that's it .
Speaker 3Oh , wow .
Speaker 4And I called up and then I wrote this article and it was in Huffington Post and the president of Columbia Presbyterian called me and apologized and they use that article as a learning device for other hospitals now .
Speaker 2Wow , good for you but and they all change them , right ? They change them , yeah , parents A and parent B .
Speaker 4But then if you're in a private clinicians office and they don't , I feel like I always have to speak up .
Speaker 3Well , they say you know , coming out is not something you do once , it's a lifetime , continuum thing that you have to do over and over and over , and I say that for my kids too . All of your interaction .
Speaker 4My kids have to come out all the time and they've had like shitty experiences and I'm proud of the way they handle them .
Speaker 3Well , because they had you as an example .
Speaker 1They really are a great kid .
Speaker 3Yeah , they are really . Oh , my God , I love them .
Speaker 1I had a few interactions with them . One of them is like in the comedy world . Yeah , he's doing .
Speaker 4Well , henry was producing shows , but now he's working with kids with behavioral problems . Oh okay , he's still producing though . Yeah , he's still producing , but he's so good with kids and I want him to go in that direction .
Speaker 3but he wants to . So you also work on a lot of like Jewish spaces .
Speaker 4Yeah .
Speaker 3Like Modi does , and so how do you- .
Speaker 4Well , modi's taken over that whole situation , correct . I don't even go , I can't even be in the chosen comedy festival .
Speaker 1You were and you upset all the Floridians . Oh my God , I work under the premise of no , your audience . Judy Gold gets on stage . I was talking to somebody .
Speaker 3I just Set the stage . We're in Florida .
Speaker 1We're in Florida 2000 something 300 to 800 people all sitting there , floridian Jews . They've leaned into Florida , they all have- .
Speaker 4Well , when I go to Florida , it's not . Those aren't the Jews that come to my show .
Speaker 3They're like a little .
Speaker 1Mac guy , you can look out and see you can see the audience .
Speaker 4No , I honestly and you started doing the gun material . Yeah , I started talking about it and they all have like they're all armed , they're all armed .
Speaker 1I had no idea . You're just like anti-armed and I'm like what is she saying ?
Speaker 4I know , and they all turned on me . I have a whole bit about it , my act now . Did you read that ?
Speaker 3article that talks about it . Afterwards it's called the New Jew . No , yeah , it's kind of like how this kind of MAGA whatever right-wing Jewish woman I think wrote it and she mentioned she was like and people think that like we're not afraid to defend ourselves , contrary to what I don't know how she phrased it Judy Gold said at the Children's Comedy Festival and then she quoted you and it was like this is like a new generation of Jewish people who are like locked and loaded .
Speaker 1Locked and loaded shoes . That's no joke .
Speaker 2And locks and voted Locked . And loaded .
Speaker 4Oh , that's a shirt , write it down , here's your title , but I , you know it's a joke Like the joke is about being Jewish and having a God and I do this whole thing about , like I can't even imagine , like you know , my parents with the God , it's really me going into you know , Ma , where's the gun ? I put it down in the basement . You know where the Passover dishes are . It's like a whole stupid . It's like a way of getting in , like Jews and guns , you know , and they , you know , it's like that whole MAGA crowd cannot joke about anything .
Speaker 3Talk about snowflakes .
Speaker 4Right and it's like that and that was it . After I did that , they all turned on me , but I , the joke is about Jews , and you know like it's really about . You know my mother .
Speaker 3No , but right right , florida is scary when it comes to guns , like it's a kind of it's kind of the wild west , but also Modi you have to admit , they're not in love with female comics that audience they love Jessica in Brooklyn and they love , they do , they do .
Speaker 1it's not true . They do like female comics . They like Jessica Zana did well .
Speaker 4She's not Jewish .
Speaker 2Yeah , they like their guns more than they like their women .
Speaker 1They like their guns a lot more than like the female comedians Right .
Speaker 4And so like that . You know , I wish I had a gun .
Speaker 1I mean , I I'm like- , but you do synagogues you do I do synagogues , I go on the Bima .
Speaker 4the Torah is behind me .
Speaker 3So do people ever say I have been doing Jewish spaces for years .
Speaker 4I love the Jews and I love that . They love comedy and they want to . All their fundraisers are around .
Speaker 1Yeah , we talk about Berlin now . I mean or David for the next , we'll see you for the next , david , but we but you . First of all , the few times I've worked with Judy Gold , she is that comedian when they say hi , so the vice president of the of the organization is a lesbian . Please avoid that . And Judy hits the stage . Where's the vice president ? That's it . You eat pussy . She's that comedian . She's that . She's like she . You cannot tell her not to say something , right ? You can me . I'm like what's the story which I avoid ? I'm like- .
Speaker 4But they love it .
Speaker 3Have you encountered that word ? No , they love
Representation and Identity in Jewish Comedy
Speaker 3it . Like a Jewish organization or a synagogue is like please don't talk about X , y and Z .
Speaker 4Yeah well , I do get you know . They'll hire me and then they'll say you know , if you could not curse , I'm like duh the Torah's behind me .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 4And you hired me you know , so obviously you know like people think I have to curse in my act .
Speaker 1But I also feel like oh , I thought it's they hired you , so they know they're gonna get a Right .
Speaker 4But they're like you know , and just a little no politics , and I'm like I get it . I know this audience .
Speaker 3That's what was so weird about Jarring about the Florida situation .
Speaker 4About the Florida . I'm like God , I know these , I know Florida , but they're different . Florida too , no .
Speaker 2but I also think that that's part of your magic , and you once said something to me , though I never forgot that was one of like the best pieces of advice I ever got from a comic , which was do you remember , always tell the truth , yes , and you can't not like that's you they always can tell when you're lying Mm-hmm .
Speaker 4And you're not gonna tell the story in the best way if you're making up shit .
Speaker 1Right . Jewish audiences also , I always say , need to know where you are in their world , right ? So when he I used to be there , they're like the son that's , you know , a little unique in doing comedy instead of going to law school and then I used to be like now there's a , it's like someone's dad who's this and that they need to . You're the lesbian woman that's with the kid and they need to know where you fit in their world .
Speaker 4Well , it was . I feel like that's a really good point , because it's like in the beginning it was really hard .
Speaker 3They have to know that . You know that . They know that .
Speaker 4Well , it was because here I am , I'm out , and you know this is the 90s , yeah , and it was . You know , people were really scared and then their kids came out to them , right , and they were like oh , I have a gay kid . And when I did 25 questions for a Jewish mother , which was an off Broadway show , ran for almost three years here .
Speaker 1Again , we weren't invited to that .
Speaker 4People would come and bring their parents and then come out to their parents People . I have so many letters I didn't realize I could be Jewish and a practicing Jew and I get that .
Speaker 4I got that so much and I am so proud to be , which I love being Jewish . I love it , I love studying it , I love the way we think . I love I really do I and my mother . It's definitely passed down for my mother . My mother was the only girl she voluntarily sat in the boys' Hebrew school class every day after school . She was born in 1922 . And you know , she passed on that pride and that love and I think that my audiences could see . You know , okay , she's gay or she's this or she's that , but she , I Am a Jew and I will . And I talk about like . The other thing is , when you have these Liberal Jews on the Upper West Side criticize like I would get criticized you're doing a stereotype . When you do your mother , I'm like I'm doing my mother , that's how she talks and that's what she said , and I'm doing it in the middle of America , like you're sitting in your little , your apartment on the Upper West Side Criticizing me and I'm in the middle of the country talking about my Jewish mother .
Speaker 1It's different right , yeah , right . And first of all , being a gay in the 80s and 90s . It's hard to explain to people that are today . First of all , back then , when I was younger , I didn't even know I was gay . I just because I thought gay was a flamboyant right . You know the drag queen or my mother's hairdresser , but a ? But now when kids come out and say , you know moody , the comic you watch on he's also gay right , oh yeah , we were watching non-stop is also gay , right ?
Speaker 1This rabbi is gay , the senator's gay , everyone's gay , so it does . It takes that down .
Speaker 4Yeah , I have kids in their like 30s now I had . I was in Baltimore recently and this girl said I used to go in the basement and Watch you on Comedy Central and I was like she , you know like it was like she has a family Wow , she's out . And she's Jewish and she's like you . I came out Right before my bat mitzvah because of you and it was like it's like that makes it all worth it .
Speaker 4Yeah even though it's sidelined to my career , it totally . I would have never had it any other way . Yeah , I mean Representation is so important yeah in a positive way .
Speaker 1right , crazy incidences in fire island with that , with that I don't know if you saw the video that there was we , jay Cohen , who you love , oh my god , I love my little baby was in our house right , I know , I saw that fucking house that .
Speaker 4What is that house ?
Speaker 3Mansion yeah , it was pretty sick .
Speaker 4And were you there like all day it was a quarter shares .
Speaker 1We got five weeks throughout the summer one week during every major major in July , september and one double month . So he was there and he's cooking , oh yeah the best and , and you know , there's nothing like getting a Jay Cohen , hala and Ah , right , right , you know cuz you've gotten them right . So now there's the week that we were there . Friday night we always made a big yeah , people always see it all man by the way here , I'm here , I'm here .
Speaker 1Of course . So Jake says you know what I'm gonna make six , seven halas and invite everyone to make kid ish . You know to make , I made kid ish . He means the right , the Hamo . I saw and everybody got a little jake on Hala . So we , we , we he's very easy to communicate with everybody on fire island . Hey , anybody wants to hear ? Kid ish and Hamozi and Hala come . 50 guys came Just for that , you know , but they came from the beach , they came from their friends , right , they came from .
Speaker 3So they're all dressed in their tank tops and shorts and Jake's in a crop top and like it's yeah , but it's that in Israel .
Speaker 1Yeah , but this was like yeah , so people weren't like . Some people were like that's amazing , you brought shop is to find out , right . So what a blasphemy .
Speaker 4Do it . We're celebrating God is not like oh my god , they better not say the kid ish .
Speaker 3They're basically . The main point was that , like you said , that you can't be Jewish and gay at the same time . That's like an either or situation . It's not . That's right , it's not that's what , where you lose me . I'm just like , how does that make you can do whatever you want ?
Speaker 4those are people who don't want to think they want to take yeah they don't . If they thought , then they would have Ideas and feelings they don't want to deal with . So what they do is they're like what does the book say ? What is the ?
Speaker 2rap , I say that's what I'm gonna think .
Speaker 4There's so many religious people who are like you know . You're like , how do you feel about ? Oh Well , let me check with the Pope . No , oh , yeah . How do you feel ?
Speaker 3afraid of examining their own feeling guys who are on vacation .
Speaker 1Bless their hearts and all of a sudden we reminded them hey , it's Shabbat , hey , this is hot . I just say something though .
Speaker 4Provincetown . It's men and women , it's the gays and the lezzies and the truth yeah and you're all like don't you get bored with everyone being hot ? Yeah , that sounds really boring .
Speaker 1The answer is no , don't you miss a woman there .
Speaker 3We went to probably love going to Cherry Grove .
Speaker 4Mimbo the separation . Oh , I hate it .
Speaker 3I'm not by the way . There's Bleed over happening now a lot more . Yeah they're better big a lot more gays are staying in .
Speaker 1Cherry Grove From HBO Emily . Yeah , there's a whole .
Speaker 3That was a really fun house .
Speaker 1It was a whole lesbian house in in in the pines and they were killing it , oh shit all the parties and we love them . And she works with HBO . And Leo said sent us swag , send us a box for the next hat box .
Speaker 2Oh my god .
Speaker 3I would love that this big .
Speaker 2Swag , but there's a lot more cross cross pollination happen .
Speaker 3I feel , like the pines . We only did p-town once and I think we need to Do it again , yeah maybe we can say your house . I won't leave it devoid of toilet paper . I promise I'll buy toilet paper and Nespresso oh .
Speaker 2I liked what . I don't know if you said it or Jake said it or you said it , but one of you guys said that if you Weren't doing that , that would not have been happening ever it would , so that's what's incredible Is that you're , by doing Shabbat and doing that , you're giving People an opportunity to be Jewish in a way that they wouldn't be doing it otherwise .
Speaker 4I have Shabbat , I'm a challah , and then I invite people over who are not Jewish and they're like so grateful 100% and and I just love , I love Shabbat .
Speaker 3Yes , when we first Started dating and you were taking me to Shabbat and I had never been to a Shabbat meal and I was like wait , you do this every Friday , right ? I was like that's really special , like really magical , and it was .
Speaker 4Right , you stop , yeah , stop . And it was great for being a comic and having kids that , even though my schedule was erratic and they didn't know what you know , is she gonna be home . They knew Friday night exactly what we were gonna do , that's really nice .
Speaker 3So what are you plugging ? What are you working on ? Now , is there ? Another show coming . Where can people ?

Speaker 3Is it an annotated version ?
Speaker 4It's such an old joke , but it's one of my favorite . My mother material's still my favorite .
Speaker 2This makes me cry .
Speaker 1I had the opportunity to meet Judy's mom on several occasions .
Speaker 4Yeah .
Speaker 1And let me tell you something ?
Speaker 4My mother ended up at the Hebrew home for the aged in New Jersey and in Bridgewater horrible . And no , what's in Bridgewater ? It was near Bridgewater , horrible . So one day I'm there they're having a Hanukkah party , right and I look across the room and I see Bonnie McFarlane , oh wow . And then I look and I see Rich and I'm Rich Foss and I'm like the hell are you doing here ?
Speaker 4And Rich is like my mother's here . Oh , no , what ? My mother's here , but she's in the . My mother was on the . You know that's a good Rich too . She was on the can speak and not dementia or anything floor , just the you know old . And he's like my mother's on the second floor and I'm like , oh , I got to meet her . So we meet her and I said , oh , I'll introduce her to my mother . So my mother and I go over and we're like hello , his mother was the most even . My mother was like you think I'm Fabisina , beyond Fabisina .
Speaker 3The Fabisina Olympics at the Hebrew home .
Speaker 4Oh my God , she was so miserable Like you could say nothing that would make her happy , but it was . What isn't that funny ? That they were in all right , whatever , Okay . So my mother , I can't , it's not an anecdote .
Speaker 2It's a bit I'm trying to not give it away before .
Speaker 3Maybe you can do it . Modi's doing your podcast in October , so maybe we'll we'll get it there .
Speaker 4Mine's a little different .
Speaker 1I will tell you one thing I learned from Judy Gold how important facial expressions are . She used to do a bit this is a thousand years ago where she had her tape recorder of her mother on her mother on .
Speaker 4The answering machine . So she literally .
Speaker 1She like literally took off , like whatever it let's you do this 15 minutes , set at the end , like for five minutes . She didn't have to talk at all . She would just play her mother on the recording , that's true , and like , at the right time she would just go , oh , I know , and people would lose their breath just the way she would turn Like and the mom would say like , okay , I'm dying , I could be dead , I could be call me Thursday . Yeah , no , yeah . She had a whole thing where she thought I was dead .
Speaker 4And she's like where are you ? I'm a wreck . And then she'd say so long , but and Judy's just doing . And I'm just like yeah , so I knew exactly when to turn my head .
Speaker 1And that's when I learned . Yeah , that's when I learned , that's when I learned physical comedy . Pause and go .
Speaker 4Pauses are very important , so timing , oh yeah , oh it is , and I are you musical , oh yeah , you're a cantorish .
Speaker 1Yeah , you called one time , you remember I gave you advice . Yeah , you were playing a female rabbi or something . Yeah , yeah , yeah . And you asked me what ? How do I do a song for Well ?
Speaker 4I was on . What was that thing with Edie Falco ? The big C , yes , and she dies at the end and I play the rabbi at her deathbed Right and I had to sing Kaddish and I usually would just say Kaddish , Morners , Kaddish but I told you to do it in the song .
Speaker 1Everybody knows Shalom aleikim mazwa itkada ve itkada , and I knew it . So I was like what should I sing ? Yeah ?
Speaker 4That's it . But yeah , music and comedy . I mean pauses , one syllable , a repeated word that you said 15 minutes ago .
Speaker 1Everything affects you know , a laugh , the , the , the , my , no worries bit . I just turned to the barista and go and it just gets such a laugh , even though I , even though I thought I should get a laugh just for the me saying it . It's just that . Look , it's so . And then I learned from Judy Gold just a pause , look boom chat , you gotta trust the silence , yep .
Speaker 4That's what a lot of people don't , don't do especially comics are like no and it's , and it's such a risk cause you don't like . You don't know if someone's going to yell some shit out , but you have to if you have control over that crowd . That silence , that pause is so powerful .
Speaker 3I think that's a little bit of like the younger generation of like TikTok comedians , where I used to like 59 seconds getting it in quick .
Speaker 1Well , TikTok comedians aren't stage comedians , but now they're trying to be they have become , because they can fill up a theater and an arena .
Speaker 4Right , they fill it up and then you talk to the booker and you will find out that the show was horrible . They don't know what they're doing and they can't fill it up again .
Speaker 3They can fill it up once . It's a one time phenomenon .
Speaker 4And this you know , the craft of standup takes so much work , 10 , 15 years before you really really know what the hell you're doing up there . Like a doctor , you know , like , come on , but this , this dumbing , this , you know what it's all about ? Making money , and I'm going to fill the room with a sub par comic because they have a funny viral video . And these people , what do they learn about ? Like they're not going to come back to another standup show . It's really bad for the art form , like before social media . And I know I'm old shut the fuck up . But you had to be great . You had one opportunity . You auditioned for everything in front of a live audience . That you know . It didn't matter who you followed . You had no control over that . You had to be prepared .
Speaker 1And now , Now they want to see what numbers you have followers . Are you going to fill the room ? Are they going to be able to sell their show for them ? Right , it's a different world . Right For good and bad , right For good and bad Right . Anyway , I cannot thank you enough for coming down here . Oh my God , not a slap at all . Canals street .
Speaker 4Do you live , do you live down here ?
Speaker 3We live in the Lower East Side , yeah , but we're never coming from home , we're always coming from somewhere else .

Speaker 1I don't . You know . There's a few things I don't need tattoos and many , almost every one of our guests comes here with a Jewish , with a Jewish star . I don't feel I need that . I just opened my mouth and people know , you know , I , mike , mike Rubberport came with two .
Speaker 4Yeah , two . Here's the thing . Yeah , I didn't wear , and I mean I always wore , like maybe I since the rise of antisemitism , I am wearing this . Okay , I'm sorry , I have one .
Speaker 3Yeah , I wear it .
Speaker 4When we last time I was in Sweden , they told us to put them away . Oh , really . I'm sorry . You know I have to look at people wearing crosses all day . I find the crosses very creepy . Yeah , and this is just I'm sorry . I feel like , since the , it is Good yeah good . I feel like you're sitting next to a Jew on the subway . Well , but whatever .
