Welcome to Andy's Modi. Hi everybody, hope you had a good week. Since the last episode, we are in the studio still with Periel and Taylor. Williamson, which I enjoyed so much. In our last episode, we're keeping him from a part two of Taylor Williamson, and now he's wearing his San Diego Naval Base hat.
Speaker 2:Well, I thought we're like out changing outfits. I don't know that it's the same.
Speaker 1:I changed underwear. That's what you wear. That's what you wear. That's what you wear. That's what you wear.
Speaker 2:Can I tell you this is like Johnny Carson, like saying, get over here on the couch. I was already on the couch.
Speaker 1:You're on the couch. No, this is a high honor.
Speaker 2:Have you ever? Has this ever happened? Just tell me, it hasn't never happened, never.
Speaker 1:It never happened.
Speaker 2:You really mean that? Just say yes, no, no, you're not following the rules.
Speaker 1:We had Arthur Luxemburg and he just sitting moved. We just kept taping another episode which ended up being better than the first ones, when people say and we had who else, did we keep?
Speaker 3:Dina, dina. It is reserved for special guests.
Speaker 1:You're in very good company.
Speaker 2:But it's not. You don't feel bad for me. This is because you're like we really.
Speaker 1:I really enjoyed you. I really enjoyed you, no, no no, he'll, we've kicked, we've kicked people out, not because, just because it was done Like we felt it was done, I felt like we have so much more to go with you, so entertaining.
Speaker 2:I'm honored you ever do like morning radio and then, like they're like I've had this for like a year ago, some city look, look radio, and then they go um, hey, if they like you, they keep you on for another segment. You know, yes, and then you do one segment and they go.
Speaker 3:well, thanks for being here, like I guess I guess I'm not one of the so this is, this is high on Wait you did live more.
Speaker 1:You go to the station live video before back in the day.
Speaker 1:Oh no, before I thought before 1980, um, we, I used to do that, yeah, Used to go. You show up at the town, uh, a day before, and like eight AM you are with the guys doing the morning traffic and you're sitting there at eight AM and be be be funny. Now it's all recorded, pre-recorded. Like, we do zooms and like, and you do all that stuff before and no one, no one's listening, even listen. Who the hell is in their car listening to the news at at on their drive to to work? Anymore, you all, you have Spotify, you have, uh, you have sound cloud. You have, you can, you can be your own DJ who wants to hear uh, all the are my wrong?
Speaker 2:I think it's from. What I see is I think there's people who hold on to what they've been listening to for years and I can't imagine a new show hitting, but I don't think any of the three of us have any idea what it entails to get in your car in the morning and commute to work.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're right. I will say that I do once in a while. See, all I'm in a taxi or an Uber. That's like an old school person and they let that 10, 10 wins. It's just like AM radio station that just like everybody listen to because they gave you the traffic every 20 minutes or like, and the weather Right.
Speaker 3:I never understood that, like my father, is obsessed with the traffic and the weather. Who cares? Like the weather's wrong 97% of the time?
Speaker 1:And when she moved to Florida, listen to 10, 10 wins just to hear the traffic and the weather in New York. I'm not, I'm not kidding you my aunt Eileen she passed away, but she used to when she lived here and in Florida. She used to sit there and she had whatever channel that got you the New York stuff and she used to listen to 10, 10 wins. And you give us 22 minutes and we'll give you the world. Yeah, can we discuss something? By the way, we touched on it the other day, charlie, remember. Yes, there are some amazing ads out there. I think I got to start doing Like that should be a thing of mine, doing it To like redo old ads.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you never hurt yeah.
Speaker 3:There are some amazing ones from like, the fifties of like, that are so misogynist, like the woman, like with the vacuum. They're amazing, though, to like read those I'm going to, I'm going to find some for you to. We could reenact that Right Now.
Speaker 1:What did we just watch that had real. I have not seen commercials like again. We have streaming, so you don't, you don't have commercials anymore, but we watched something that had the Grammys. We watched the Grammys and had commercials. What the hell People think that people are that dumb.
Speaker 1:Yes, well, people, actually people are that dumb I get when you have a celebrity talking about this product and the celebrity you can tell is calling it in Like yes, blah, blah, blah cups, I'll never use anything else. And you could tell the celebrity just picked up a fat million dollar check just to do it. But like these commercials they people just like just say hey, this is what this does, it's pretty good at it and move on, not this whole song and dance. I was wondering why I was so home so late, because my blah, blah, blah blah was horrible, horrible commercials, no.
Speaker 2:Are you an alien?
Speaker 1:Why.
Speaker 2:He doesn't know what the world is like. It's adorable People like like they have. Like my pillow, you know my pillow. Oh, I love him.
Speaker 1:I love him.
Speaker 3:Isn't he an eight man? I?
Speaker 1:think he's the. He's an insane person that has wow. Can we talk with my pillow guy. What's his name?
Speaker 2:Um, I don't know. You know Eichmann, what's his name? I don't know Some, whatever.
Speaker 1:Yo, he talk about riding a wave of Meshagas, which we discussed before. This guy with his pillows, now he has sheets, then he has slippers, then he has robes and he has everything right and the Jesus cross, and you see the picture behind him it's Jesus with a lion.
Speaker 3:Oh, here's Michael James Wendell. Yeah, Michael Wendell the full blown machine.
Speaker 2:He was on top of the world before he got into the Trump.
Speaker 3:Thing.
Speaker 2:He was crushing it, he was super star, he was like an inspirational story. I don't know if he's like a little bruh or what, but he was a crackhead.
Speaker 3:No, really, that was the whole stick.
Speaker 2:It's like I remember going on a radio show in Minnesota and he was like a local. He was a big deal. We had Michael Wendell's calling in and he's a goofy guy who came from Sad Stuff and started this huge company. And it was goofy commercials you see on TV like whatever, my pillow is okay, whatever. Then he got into the Trump thing and he rode that thing. But he rode it into the Fox News won't have him on anymore. He's going out of business, is he really? Yeah, but he's just, he's like a not well.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, no, no, no, I'm reading about him.
Speaker 1:He's not well.
Speaker 3:Okay, I'm sorry I have. This is not really Mashiach energy, but I actually want your opinion about this. I'm so worked up about this situation. Okay, so first of all, let's start with the fact that I have. Yesterday we did an event for the Rebuilding the Key Boots Team project. We've been rebuilt, collecting toys with Ally Weiss jewelry. We raised $6,000.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 3:Thank you. I don't take the credit for it. I'm just putting this out here as the background facts. We have sent over $30,000 of items to soldiers directly and we have 100 boxes sitting in storage of toys that we are going to bring over to Israel. In addition to this, I have been making Am Israel Chai Sweat shirts, which are, first of all, a fortune to make. I'm hand-wrapping them and I'm doing it because people love them and to be nice. I got they're $136, which, as far as I'm concerned, is a fucking bargain. I got a message on Instagram from somebody I do not know Hi, I sent you a message many days ago and have yet to receive an answer because I deleted the message. How come this costs a all-caps ridiculous amount of money? Are folks really paying $136 for a sweatshirt? Where does the money go?
Speaker 1:What did you answer?
Speaker 3:I didn't. I'm doing it.
Speaker 1:You answer your mother never loved you. That's all you have to answer. Don't ever give in. Are you crazy? That gets you worked up. Just beat or just write back your mother never loved you. Just block him. That's it. That's it Block.
Speaker 3:This has me so in. Why, why?
Speaker 1:would you say that First of?
Speaker 3:all, I don't owe you an explanation. I could charge $3,000 for a sweatshirt if I want to. Okay, right, just don't buy it.
Speaker 1:Okay yeah, just don't buy it. Okay, okay, okay, okay Okay.
Speaker 3:Okay, okay, okay, okay. How dare you assume that, like you have the right to like, ask, like you go into, like Costco and say, like, where is the money for these televisions going? Like, who are you, where is this entitlement coming?
Speaker 1:from Look at how angry she got you. What a shame. It's a guy. It's a guy.
Speaker 3:I think it's a guy.
Speaker 1:You think it's a guy. What makes you think it's a guy? Well, I don't want to.
Speaker 3:There's a picture of somebody who looks like what used to identify traditionally as male.
Speaker 1:So they let's just go they. Let's just go they. Yeah, that's a man.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, maybe Let me see, you never know.
Speaker 3:I'll make a picture, look at how good I am.
Speaker 1:I make a picture and I blow it up, even more.
Speaker 3:No, I mean because you got is a man is wrong with, also like the only.
Speaker 2:Thing you can assume gender. I mean, that's the, that's a bald man.
Speaker 1:It's a bald man with a gut and glasses.
Speaker 2:It's essentially. She saw a picture of Larry David.
Speaker 3:She's like I don't know, it's literally. Larry David is a broke.
Speaker 1:Larry David is what this is, and you.
Speaker 3:I'm asking because I know you probably get and you probably do too Like messages all the time.
Speaker 2:There was hateful, awful scummy. It's a terrible.
Speaker 3:You just ignore them.
Speaker 2:I get I try, not I have to be numb to it because I mean I post a Jewish thing and I get I mean that's a whole nother category of stuff, but like I posted I feel like it's I'm hesitating to the silver dunder, like I imagine this is, you must get this stuff, oh, anyways. But I posted, like after the October 7th attack, before Israel went into Palestine, I posted I was just like what's the thing I can post? That is the least problem causing things, because even just posting hashtag Jewish I get hate, you know, right. So I put yeah, like. So I posted sending love to my friends in Israel hearts.
Speaker 2:I was like you can't, no one can, because it hurts me when I get, it messes me up when I get like anti-semitism online, like it makes me, breaks my heart and it makes me. It's terrifying, you know. And because I feel bad about the world, like I'm not, my feelings are hurt, but I'm like sad for the world, you know. And then I have people who write back to me months later, who saw that post on my stories and they don't follow me, right, but every time I post something they go, they're calling me a Nazi, calling me. You get all that stuff, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So I just have to go numb and numb.
Speaker 1:Who was? This is nothing, people. This guy's poor soul. They're a mess. Yeah, I have. We get people looking for cheaper tickets.
Speaker 3:There's no to shoot you know what I should write back. What I should write back if you can't afford $136 and you want to sweatshirt, why don't you tell me what you can afford and I'll send?
Speaker 1:you one God forbid you're going to engage this from being into your life.
Speaker 3:That felt like machine.
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 3:You just inspired me to like, oh God.
Speaker 2:A lot of people this is the cliche thing is comedians write back to like trolls. A lot of times they go. Hey man, I was just being silly, I'm a big fan.
Speaker 3:He's a sad person who 100% he's a sad person.
Speaker 2:He's a sad person who wants attention. Correct, it might not be, this doesn't sound evil. He's probably like a left, a liberal person who's caring about whatever he's a is a well meaning dumb person, you know, so that's a nice Wow. This is probably misogyny wrapped in there too, though, because he sees your woman doing something and I'm just How'd you get that from?
Speaker 3:Why are you asking me? You're looking at me.
Speaker 1:Why did you see misogyny in there?
Speaker 2:Does men talk to a woman in a way that more likely than they'll talk to a man with a lack of kindness?
Speaker 3:Not even kindness. The opposite.
Speaker 1:I talk nicer to a woman because she's a woman.
Speaker 2:You're a great guy, though, from what I know, I don't know.
Speaker 3:I thought you would be proud of me with that response. That's such machia energy to not respond no to say if you can't afford this, just tell me how.
Speaker 1:No, your time is so special and precious between your child and your husband and your career. You're going to now engage him and then he's right back what he can afford, and then you're going to tell him this and that I'll meet you at 30, meet you at four and send it back. I'm hard.
Speaker 3:Let it go. Let it go. I was just trying to be nice.
Speaker 2:You write back to all your nice messages. Do you ever skip a nice message?
Speaker 3:I try to always like do.
Speaker 1:At least a heart. Thank you, hey, love back at you. I do Listen. My time on Instagram is not going through stuff. I go through my comments, people would they comment on my things and read them and sometimes look at their profile and see a face and a child, their kids and the family. It makes me happy and I'll send a heart. I'll send love back at you and I mean it. Yeah, I would never deal with that.
Speaker 2:For me, I go because I get nasty comments and then, as a comic, I want to out with them and make them feel stupid, because I have that, you know, and me do like feel the heckler, you know but then I'm like you know what Kind of siding with Modi I get.
Speaker 2:I get like you know what, if I, if I can't write back to all the nice comments, I'm not going to write back to the one. We all comics, we see the one out of a hundred. That's negative. I want to write back. It is giving your, your loving energy to negativity when it should be focused on love.
Speaker 1:But before we began, we never do politics here, but it's, it's getting good. Nikki Haley posted a picture of Donald Trump and Joe Biden in the ad. Like for grumpy old men, which is a movie that was out like many years back with with Walter.
Speaker 2:Matt Matt Jack Lemon.
Speaker 1:Jack Lemon, walter Mathau, yeah Right, and, and it's pretty, she's like. If Trump is getting laughs and jokes, let me get on this bandwagon. They're picking it up on it and Joe Biden doesn't know what day it is anymore, and poor thing, and Donald Trump is just wow, wow, wow and wow no.
Speaker 3:What? Um? We had a psychic on the comedy seller podcast and she said that neither Trump nor Biden is going to act or going to run.
Speaker 2:Really Run.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's going to be somebody else entirely.
Speaker 1:Something this time, this time between now and November.
Speaker 2:Have you seen Dean Phillips? Oh my God, this fascinating dude. He's a congressman from I don't know what state. He's Jewish, he's like 50 something. He's running for president as a Democrat and he was on Bill Marsha if you look it up and you can see like a quick interview with him. And uh, fascinating, kind, thoughtful guy pro Joe Biden, but he just takes the point of view of we need someone younger. He did his thing. We love Joe. He did a great job, but like he's cons, I vibe with every single thing he says. Like it's fascinating dude.
Speaker 3:There should be. There should be age limits on the presidency. I think we can all agree yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, um, but I encourage you to, I encourage you to like look up his Bill Maher interview and like, just like, if you want to have a five minute sample of who's this Jewish guy who's 50 something.
Speaker 1:I don't know what we did with you, not the 50 something, but it's, it's shock, it's shock value, and it's shock value and it's a comedy. You are about to hire somebody to be higher vote for somebody to be president, you're going to be looking at them for four years and they're on your feed, on your news or whatever you get. You're going to be looking at them and I think, even though his policies are probably better for the world, joe Biden or Trump, you got to interact with this thing.
Speaker 3:This thing.
Speaker 1:You got to interact with this president and it's about to come Someone should be, if I was running for president A, to be gays involved for looks, for looks and aesthetics and what things should be like when you get where the flags should be. Trump for sure has gays working for him. That is for sure, because his stuff is set up nice and he and something I will tell you also, donald Trump would one of the worst. We have to talk about this, one of the worst things that I do doing comedy. Besides travel, travel is number one in the worst part of doing comedy. When you do a photo shoot for pictures, for promos, you know you get in front of a photographer and you got to start hey, give me this, give me that, change outfit, give me this, give me that so they can do promo posters and all that stuff. And Trump, when he did that picture for his jail picture, whatever that, not the jail picture, the mugshot killed it.
Speaker 1:Leo directs me. Leo, this is gay. No, hey, look back, look forward, look away, look to the camera, look there, someone gave it to Trump and he looks just like James Dean in it. Oh don't tell me no. Don't you both tell me no, someone told him what to do. There's no way he he just hit it like that.
Speaker 3:There is no way that there is a gay dressing.
Speaker 1:For sure there's gays working on Trump's campaign. Nikki Haley needs to make sure she gets some on hers because she's repeating outfits. Are you guys ready for this? Are you guys ready for this? Ready, ready, one, two. And how do we do this for the camera? We'll pull it up. So here's down Trump's mugshot.
Speaker 3:How did it end?
Speaker 1:And here's James Dean.
Speaker 3:Oh my.
Speaker 1:Someone told him what to do?
Speaker 2:Do you know that? Like, if you told us to Trump, he would have you like, he would have you posted this, he would like retweet it.
Speaker 1:No, but it was just something that was so obvious to me I'm very good at. Whenever I watch TV with Leo, I see somebody say that's who he looks like, and he's like oh my God, you're right. Yes, he did that. It's really true. Did you see that picture?
Speaker 3:Yeah, but James Dean.
Speaker 2:But you're like I can do this with my mouth, yeah. I don't look like Elvis. He's doing like the same. It's the it's, so is he attractive.
Speaker 1:That was the worst comparison of anything that could have ever been that you could have come up with. For that picture to happen, for that picture to happen down on Trump, first of all you need to. That's a picture where you have to look away and then look up and hit the camera like this. That takes effort, it doesn't just happen. Can you do it and the camera no. I kind of did it now, you know, when Leo owned a photo studio when he had models. When they hire the models, the reason they hire certain models is because there's no angle that's bad for them. Whenever that camera goes off, they look amazing, no matter if the picture is not something with the clothing is off, but the face is one thing they never have to worry about. He taught me that. He said that down, trump looks like ass in a million different pictures, but this picture he nailed. Someone directed that picture. There's no way that just happened.
Speaker 3:I'm buying it. I'm really thinking about.
Speaker 1:Well, and the other thing that I was saying so if you're running for president, you need to have gaze, yes, to make sure things look good, yes, and you need to have comedians. Someone should be on your thing to make sure there's a joke comes out. Hey, nikki Haley speaking. Let me hear the joke of the day from her. Hey, this one speaking. Something from them, something funny you gotta hit them with, and it may be Nikki Haley's on that now, like, oh, we gotta bring comedy into this election.
Speaker 3:I think that you're onto something here.
Speaker 1:And be nice to the Jews and be nice to the Jews. Let me tell you something Anybody running for president, if you look at history, hire historians, if you're gonna be president, and look what things have gone wrong and other in the world in history and whenever you kill and hurt the Jews, it never works out for you. It doesn't work out for you, is this no?
Speaker 3:No, no, no.
Speaker 1:Engineer, the only guy that's not Jewish in the room. Do you agree or no?
Speaker 2:Wolf, do you agree that you should be kind to the Jews?
Speaker 1:Should be kind to everybody. Should be kind to everybody. But let me rephrase that Be kind to everybody, but don't extra crap on the Jews, because it never works out well.
Speaker 3:Listen, I don't think-.
Speaker 1:Wait, wait what. Yeah, no it never works out well. It never works out well. It never works out well for you.
Speaker 2:It's like a complicated topic because, like Kanye West is experiencing this, you know, and because he can't get bookings, he's just complaining he can't get booked at arenas. He just sold out at arenas in Chicago but he publicly said I can't get other bookings and because they're blackballing him. But then, like the ironic joke of it all is, it feeds into their narrative that Jews run everything or control everything. So it's kind of like a joke, you know, Like it's like you don't say Jews control everything, but if you do, you're never working again, you know.
Speaker 1:I heard some crazy gossip. That not gossip. I heard of something that happened at the Grammys with Kanye that no one knows about. He said something bad to somebody who's Jewish wearing a Yamaha, and that person beat him up and then they asked should we call the police? Because no, no, no, don't call anybody. He wanted to Tanaka. This could be all. This is my podcast. I can say whatever the hell I want to say, and this is something someone fed me, so- how many degrees of separation? It's a very very good source.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I assumed it was.
Speaker 1:I would never just throw this out.
Speaker 3:Listen, I have to tell you that what are you doing right now?
Speaker 1:What are you?
Speaker 3:what is?
Speaker 1:it. What is your body? What is this?
Speaker 2:She got excited. She doesn't know. No, no, I'm actually-.
Speaker 3:Justin, her Jewel, she's doing a I am very upset about Kanye West because I loved him so much and I listened to his music on loop forever. My 10-year-old loved him and it's really upsetting.
Speaker 1:I. You know what. It's horrible everything he said. But you know, I listened to the Cat Williams podcast with-.
Speaker 3:Oh, Cat is the best.
Speaker 1:With who Club, shay Shay. I watched it. I thought it was going to catch a few. I watched all 36 hours of it Same thing. First of all, there's no bigger fan in the world of Cat Williams than me and me I. There is nothing I can watch over and over. They cook a little hit of weed and watch Cat Williams. Leo says I've never seen you laugh so hard. I just cannot. He kills me.
Speaker 1:He's a genius and he's a little, I don't know. A little bit I'm not I don't want to say word a little bipolar II on this interview, engineer Manic for sure. Okay, I didn't want to say, but when he said, what are you? He's not well, kanye West is not well. What do you expect from a not well person?
Speaker 3:There are lots of people who are not well, who are not his Unwellness came out against Jews.
Speaker 1:That's where his unwellness.
Speaker 3:Well, it came out for matted against.
Speaker 2:No, he could have also. He could be unwilling, also hate Jews at the same.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 2:I don't think mental. I think it's maybe in dismissive to mentally ill.
Speaker 3:I bet it could be there are plenty of mentally ill people who aren't hurling like rabid anti summit, antisemitic remark.
Speaker 2:He just did Bill Mards podcast and Bill Mards did a press release saying I'm not releasing it because I'm not gonna Be a part of this Kanye. Kanye is a variety of magazine. He did an interview when he did sit on a day.
Speaker 1:He said I had to submit isn't a new, a new brand my, my, my, my bag is Gucci and my shoes are Kanye.
Speaker 3:Kanye wait are you sure?
Speaker 1:Wait, so Bill Mardin.
Speaker 2:He's publicizing. He's like wow. He doesn't want to be a part of this home Misha gas yeah. I mean, like Mel Gibson drinks, and being drunk doesn't make you anti-semitic, you know, that's where it comes out, but, but, but drinking.
Speaker 1:And then Mel Gibson is anti-semitic, and when you drink, sheenich nasiain yotsesod, when wine comes in, out comes the, the secrets. So when he drinks. When? Because he's in Hebrew.
Speaker 2:This is like PBS playhouse. There's like a word of the day. I love it.
Speaker 3:That's so good.
Speaker 1:So good, we should do that. Yiddish word of the how do you not?
Speaker 3:Is amazing Okay.
Speaker 2:Well, you make your guts, use it in a sentence.
Speaker 1:Yes, oh, my god, can you?
Speaker 2:always be on our podcast. We'd love to.
Speaker 3:What's the Yiddish word of the day?
Speaker 1:I don't just throw you. That was, that was an expression you know what let's do. Expression I hate your shoulder today. Expression Sheenich nasiain yotsesod. When wine comes in, outcomes a secret. So let's so now give me some. Some situation you were ever in where you saw somebody drunk and a secret came out.
Speaker 2:Good, Lord, good Lord, where's that?
Speaker 1:go I.
Speaker 2:This is you're putting me on the spot with a gnarly take I can't think of.
Speaker 1:I'll let that go, but that's the expression, the expression of the day, which we're not gonna be doing. Sheenich nasiain yotsesod. When wine comes in, out comes a secret. When you're drunk, your secrets come out. Mel Gibson, when he gets drunk, the fact that he's a big anti-semite comes out. Kanye is mentally not well.
Speaker 3:So what? He's still an anti-semit there.
Speaker 1:John Galliano, another anti-semit but, but, but I was. I'm not, I'm not sitting here, I'm not sitting here I'm not seeing here. I want to tell you that Taylor William, taylor, taylor William. Sin has become funnier during our podcast second episode on funnier.
Speaker 2:The first one. I didn't know what to do in the second when I got comfy.
Speaker 1:No but. But I'm not sitting here Defending Kanye. But he's sicker, it's just a sick person and when you're sick, things happen. I'm not defending him. Whatever, he's a big anti-semite. Done showing, give on showing.
Speaker 3:Townsend, yes, it comes back to our Bill Cosby conversation. Really no.
Speaker 2:Let's not go there I was there anyone you want to have on your podcast?
Speaker 1:and then I want to have I want to have Taylor William sin, now that I can say your name Can.

Speaker 1:You know, I know, because, yeah, because I'm silly guy because if you, if it was true, you would have done your regular Taylor Williams, I was, I was, I was, I was 32 years old. So that's a little late, some slow, late circumcision.
Speaker 2:I said it too confidently.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so hold on. Why'd you get your Hebrew name later?
Speaker 2:I just I didn't get it when I was I don't know and what is it you?
Speaker 1:know like. So you Jewish boys get their Hebrew name at the bris I didn't, mother and the father at the circumcision. The mother and the father do not discuss with anybody else what the name is Gonna be. And at the brist they say and his name will be known amongst the Israelites as and then they say Avram Ben Yoseph, the Avram, the son of Joseph, the father's name, right, there are amazing videos where they they Mentioned that the name of the kid and, like a mother-in-law or a grandmother's freaks that are you crazy?
Speaker 1:Maybe him after that? You better not my god, that's not his name.
Speaker 3:They make a whole freak out.
Speaker 1:There's YouTube videos of this amazing that, but that's when you get your Hebrew name. So what? Why'd you get yours much later?
Speaker 2:My parents got divorced and I like, oh wait, but they, my dad wasn't religious, my mom was a religious and then, I think later on, my mom wanted to make me more Jewish and what was your Hebrew name? So the rabbi goes it was like a reform synagogue and he goes tal or Tal, or tal, tall, tall, that's your first name and your middle name.
Speaker 3:I don't know tal my name's. Taylor, but tal or that's beautiful, but it's nice, it is real people may find me and because it's a girl's name.

Speaker 1:Tal, it's like the do in the morning do, but it's also a sign of prosperity because you want to have do, because it's good for the crops and whatever I may be making that up Again, I can do that, it's my podcast.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like you might not even be speaking Hebrew, but I believe everything you say.
Speaker 3:I just made that up. I have no idea. Is that true In?
Speaker 1:the Jewish religion, if you say things confidently and throw in Hebrew and say the verb in Hebrew, people just think you just yep, absolutely, Moshe was Hailech, he was going, Moshe was going to. Now it makes you sound like you know, like it's so insane. Or you can just say anything like like you're quoting from the, from some kind of text, and just people but but you're. I've never seen you say like this before.
Speaker 3:What do you mean? Because you know, like, because I'm usually not sitting across from you, I'm usually sitting next to you and Leo's sitting Right, but you also.
Speaker 1:I've never looked at your hands like this.
Speaker 3:Well, because, you made me so paranoid. Before we did the 92nd Street Y interview, he sent me a video of an interview. Don't mention who that was. And he said and for those of you who are listening, I am crouched down in my seat. This was the posture of the he goes. Don't sit like this.
Speaker 1:I sent her. I sent her a video of somebody that we know and doing a podcast type of interview and they were both slouching the way she just was. I said this is the opposite of what we need to look at. And, by the way, this new chair that again thanks again to WTF that this new chair that it's giving me life.
Speaker 3:Am I?

Speaker 2:For you. I love it for you.
Speaker 3:I love that for you. I love that for you.
Speaker 2:There's nothing good in that. That's funny.
Speaker 1:Yeah, by the way, I have a new bit. I'm not gonna talk about it, it was.
Speaker 3:Talk about it.
Speaker 1:No, I'm not. I want to save for the first stage, but it was like I was in the hospital yesterday and just the whole procedure. I can, it's such a good bit and I'm just like I was so blown away that it came to me. I was just doing it. I called everybody just to do the bit on the phone with them. It was just, I'm not gonna blow it on this podcast. That's observational comedy, ladies and gentlemen, that's what observational comedy was, Anyway.
Speaker 3:Oh, I feel like I thought of a new joke. Oh, I found I haven't worked out the joke yet, but I there was a girl on the subway on my way here who had like a baby stroller. You know how they have like dogs in that yes. And I look over and I'm like I'm sorry, I'm gonna curse. I was like is that a fucking rabbit?
Speaker 3:in that thing. I'm like there's no way, like I'm seeing, like an ear or something, and I look over and this girl has two rabbits yeah, in a baby stroller on the subway.
Speaker 1:When you fly the amount of times I fly during the year you now understand that these new emotional support animals, rabbits, are in the rotation. You've been seeing rabbits. We were in first class. No, I look over and this woman who looked unwell. She looked unwell. She was wearing an old, like Chanel shirt, but like I could tell by the buttons, but it's like it was like it was time to retire it, and she was wearing a Bulgari watch. She had an and a rabbit and I was watching her and the rabbit sat on her lap and she played with it the whole time.
Speaker 3:Come on, stop Not well.
Speaker 1:She was not well.
Speaker 3:How old was she?
Speaker 1:She was, I would say, 50, no, late 50s, maybe early 60s. Was it in a cage? It began in a Sherpa bag, which you never know what that is. It's the bag that has like the holes all around it, ew. And she sat there with the rabbit. Was it like one of these giant rabbits? It was a regular size rabbit. It fit completely perfectly and on her lap.
Speaker 3:First of all, there's things shit like every 12 minutes.
Speaker 1:That's what I was wondering. A cat and a doll you can train. Can you train a rabbit? No, not the poop and cock and everywhere no.
Speaker 2:I wonder the have you seen these rabbits? That are huge. I'm obsessed with those.
Speaker 1:I haven't seen a huge rabbit.
Speaker 2:There's like rabbits that are bigger than you imagine.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 3:They're called like giant. I have that guy.
Speaker 2:They're like bizarrely, like they'll giant.
Speaker 1:Those listening to us. When you say thank you very much for your podcast, sometimes it just helps me numb my head. This is one of those podcasts where you're numbing your head when not hitting anything specific. This is important, though. Oh my God, that's the biggest rabbit I've ever saw in my life.
Speaker 2:I think it'd be like 20 pounds. Oh my God.
Speaker 1:Wait, I'm going to find out Now that we're here with. Well, last episode was with Taylor Williamson. You said I can't see your name.
Speaker 2:It's hard. Yeah, taylor, you know why he's projecting. You got to go one name because two names are hard for him.
Speaker 1:No, but wow, if you Google big rabbits, you'll see this. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I just got caught with your name, taylor Williamson. You have to really stop in, taylor, but I like Tal oh.
Speaker 2:So I was going to ask is that, like I used to word, like hacky, like to give you? Is it common for a Jewish like my brother Trevor, his Jewish name's Adam or whatever?

Speaker 2:Jewish names are my Jewish names, my Jewish names.
Speaker 3:Is that the same? Guy who got your Jew jacket Tal, tal Tal.
Speaker 1:Tal Tal. Tal Tal is a beautiful name and you should, by the way, name is very strong.
Speaker 2:But it's I'm you're helping. I'm really grateful for this, but it's not hacky to have your Jewish name be so similar to your normal name. No, it's not at all.
Speaker 1:No, it's okay, everybody name Barry because his Hebrew name is barrel.
Speaker 2:Oh, really yeah, Shlomo.
Speaker 1:Shlomo Solomon Steven is shimmy, they try. They try, so it's not that different.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and Talor is a name, talor is 100%.
Speaker 1:It's actually two names.
Speaker 2:That's what I thought. They just took two names, like I thought it was like they, just like I thought it was like so it's beautiful, it's beautiful.
Speaker 3:Oh, this is so beautiful. My name is beautiful and what's your father's Hebrew name.
Speaker 1:He's not a Jew. What's your father's name?
Speaker 2:Doug. I'm sorry, doug, doug.
Speaker 3:So in usually your name's like Jennifer. There's no Jennifer in Hebrew, so they give you like P'nina. It's ridiculous, it has nothing to do with anything.
Speaker 2:That's right.
Speaker 3:That's why I wanted.
Speaker 2:I thought you were perfect.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, no, you want, I think you want it.
Speaker 2:I would. Yeah, you would Wait, I'd like the coolest, by the way.
Speaker 1:By the way, do you know, and back to the conversation of you losing your last name, which is just your name in general, there's expression in Hebrew Shinui makom, shinui mazal, shinui shem, shinui mazal.
Speaker 2:When you change your. I was about to say this. We have the same thought with your friend. It's like crazy. I'm sorry I swear I was. I didn't mean to talk over you. I apologize, it was really.
Speaker 1:You can use that as your clip from this. Okay, wait, there's a big thing in Hebrew also when you change your name, when you change your change location, you change your luck. You change your name, you change your luck too. You know Adin Stein salts. Adin Stein salts you guys don't know who that is. He was one of the first people that translated the Talmud genius. He was very depressed. His name is Stein salts, which is a rock of salt, and the Rebbe, the Babut Sherebi, told him today his name to Simcha, which, again, I think this is a true story, but it's not. It's okay, it's my podcast and that's so. You change his name to Simcha. You can always do it. You can strengthen your name yeah.
Speaker 1:It's also a thing. Yeah, was I that debuted to that one also? No, you trained her well.
