0:04

our biology was never designed for. My friends

0:06

and I used to talk about how Brumlin

Brown is the sweet butter substitute. And

0:11

if a caveman came across Brumlin Brown

0:13

coming out of the side of a

0:15

tree, he'd kill everybody with him to

0:17

make sure that nobody knew about the tree but him. Okay.

0:21

And forgettable to us. The

0:23

point is, there's modern assaults on our health

0:25

that negatively impact our gut health and our

0:27

overall health. Colostrum is nature's first whole food

2:41

this is for real, meet for the

2:43

first time on this stage. And

2:49

with that, we'll say Dayenu. But

2:52

first, let's get into it. What

2:54

a week. In

2:57

the wake of Trump's announcement of

2:59

a trade war against every country on

3:02

Earth, as markets plummeted, companies announced

3:04

layoffs, and retirees looked for early bird

3:06

specials on gourmet dog food, the

3:08

right wing defended their best boy. You

3:10

have to just let him do what

3:12

he's going to do, give him some

3:14

time, because he is a businessman, he's

3:16

a billionaire, he knows what he's doing.

3:20

Just close your eyes and think of England. Stop

3:24

pointing out all these grease fires and let

3:26

the man cook. Treasury

3:29

Secretary and bad gay Scott

3:31

Besant had this to say

3:33

on NBC Sunday. We

3:35

had record volume on

3:37

Friday and everything is

3:40

working very smoothly so

3:42

the American people can

3:44

be very... take great

3:46

comfort in that. Good

3:49

news, everybody. The paper shredder your

3:51

tie is stuck in is working perfectly.

3:53

It's successfully pulling your face toward

3:55

the gnashing metal teeth with aplomb. It's

3:58

eating that tie while you scream

4:00

and claw at the machine like it's

4:02

nothing. Wirecutter, your recommendation is crushed

4:04

once again. Secretary of Commerce

4:06

Howard Lutnick offered this exciting vision for

4:08

the future on Sunday. Remember

4:10

the army of millions and millions

4:12

of human beings screwing in little, little

4:15

screws to make iPhones. That kind

4:17

of thing is going to come to

4:19

America. USA,

4:21

USA. What a beautiful vision

4:23

for the future. I would just point

4:26

out. that Howard Ludnick has not worked a

4:28

day in his life outside of finance.

4:30

He ran the firm Cantor Fitzgerald, over which

4:32

he gained control after a bitter dispute

4:34

with Iris Cantor, the wife of the firm's

4:36

founder. They battled in court for years.

4:38

She barred him from her husband's funeral. But

4:41

Cantor Fitzgerald is best known

4:44

for having lost 658 people on

4:46

9 -11, including Ludnick's own brother.

4:48

He became well -known because of

4:50

a moving interview he gave

4:52

with Connie Chung on September 14th,

4:54

2001. So while I'm

4:56

the head of the company, I'm

4:58

trying to help my 700 employees

5:01

who are missing their loved ones.

5:03

I'm just another one of them.

5:05

Just another one of them. Just

5:08

another one of them. The interview

5:10

became infamous. Does anybody here remember why?

5:12

I'll tell you why. Cantor

5:15

Fitzgerald removed the names

5:17

of those 658 employees

5:19

from the payroll on

5:21

September 15th. Yeah.

5:25

Yeah. There was an outcry

5:27

and the firm ultimately set aside some

5:29

profits for the family's employees who died. But

5:31

it was devastating for families whose loved

5:33

ones were still technically considered missing. And it

5:35

tells you something about the ruthlessness of

5:37

this person and the focus on the bottom

5:39

line. Another revealing fact about Howard Lutnick,

5:41

he's from fucking Jericho. Audience

5:45

from Long Island nods their heads so hard they have

5:47

to go to the hospital. There

5:49

has been some tension. Elon Musk said on

5:51

Saturday that he hoped for a zero -tariff

5:53

situation between the U .S. and the EU

5:56

and spent the following days feuding with

5:58

Trump's trade advisor, Peter Navarro. One thing about

6:00

a Trump presidency, there will always be

6:02

two crabs in a bucket scrapping it out.

6:04

But which crabs? That's what keeps it

6:06

fresh. By early this week,

6:08

Musk was estimated to have lost around

6:10

$31 billion since Trump announced the tariffs that

6:13

Navarro championed. And you all thought the

6:15

tariffs had no conceivable upside. Shame

6:17

on you. On Saturday, Musk publicly

6:19

criticized Navarro on X, writing, a PhD

6:21

in econ from Harvard is a

6:23

bad thing, not a good thing. I

6:26

feel like it's actually a neutral thing

6:28

that's often wielded by bad people, like

6:30

alternative medicine or the speakerphone function. Then

6:34

on Monday, Navarro took a shot at

6:36

Musk during an interview on CNBC saying this.

6:39

But he's not a car manufacturer.

6:41

He's a car assembler, a good

6:43

part of the engines. that he

6:45

gets, which in the EV case

6:47

is the batteries come from Japan

6:49

and come from China. The electronics

6:51

come from Taiwan. The Cybertruck panels

6:53

that keep falling off come from

6:56

Mexico, but the glue that doesn't

6:58

hold them on comes from South

7:00

Korea. Musk on Tuesday

7:02

replied to a video of the interview

7:04

on X saying that Navarro was truly

7:06

a moron and dumber than a sack

7:08

of bricks. And thanks to Trump's tariffs...

7:10

Price is a brick going up. White

7:14

House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt,

7:16

no relation, was asked about the

7:18

ongoing squabble. These

7:20

are obviously two individuals who have very

7:22

different views on trade and on

7:25

tariffs. Boys will be boys and we

7:27

will let their public sparring continue.

7:29

And you guys should all be very

7:31

grateful that we have the most

7:33

transparent administration in history. First

7:37

of all, the combined

7:40

age of these boys is

7:42

128 years old. Second,

7:45

it's true. These idiots are fighting in

7:47

public and the chaos inside of the

7:49

White House is spilling out into the

7:51

open. But that's a superficial kind of

7:54

openness. It's democracy theater, not democracy itself.

7:56

It's real housewives transparency when what we

7:58

need is Panama Papers transparency. Because

8:00

on the same day, Levitt, no

8:02

relation, described the administration as the most

8:04

transparent in history. Trump signed a

8:06

memo directing his agency heads to repeal

8:08

a raft of environmental regulations and

8:10

other rules. That directive also said that

8:12

as they go through the books,

8:14

removing regulations that they claim to be

8:16

unlawful. agency heads shall finalize rules

8:18

without notice and comment. In other words,

8:20

Trump just issued an order telling

8:22

his agency heads to get rid of

8:24

regulations in secret without giving the

8:26

public an opportunity to know about it,

8:28

let alone have a comment about

8:30

it. They've boarded up all the windows

8:32

and sent two clowns outside to

8:34

punch each other in the dicks. But

8:36

those are the clowns they want

8:38

us to see. But what of the

8:41

inside clowns? What of their dicks? Speaking

8:44

of dicks, during a speech at the

8:46

NRCC dinner on Tuesday night, Trump bragged that

8:48

global leaders were desperate to make a

8:50

deal. I'm telling you,

8:52

these countries are calling us up, kissing

8:55

my ass. They are dying to

8:57

make a deal. Please, please, sir, make

8:59

a deal. I'll do anything. I'll

9:01

do anything, sir. Please, sir, please, please

9:03

put the pin back into the

9:05

grenade you're holding between your butt cheeks.

9:08

Everybody wins if you put that pin back

9:10

into the ass grenade. On

9:13

Wednesday morning, as the stock market's chaos

9:15

continued, the president wrote on Truth Social,

9:17

be cool. Everything

9:19

is going to work out well. The

9:21

USA will be bigger and better than

9:24

ever before. We just have to be

9:26

cool. Tell that bitch to be

9:28

cool. I'm gonna kill you. Say bitch, be cool. Say

9:30

bitch, be cool. Tell that fucking bitch

9:32

to chill. Be

9:38

calm. Meanwhile, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon

9:40

was asked on Wednesday whether he thought

9:42

a recession was likely and replied, I

9:44

am going to defer to my economists

9:46

at this point, but I think probably.

9:49

Joining us now are those economists.

9:51

Gentlemen, what are your thoughts

9:53

on... Just a reminder, you can

9:55

watch our Love It or

9:58

Leave It live show on YouTube.

10:01

Every week to see this and

10:03

other hilarious visual punchlines. Just stop

10:06

by YouTube at Love It or

10:08

Leave It podcast and check it

10:10

out. Then later on Wednesday, Trump

10:12

fully blinked, announcing a 90 -day pause

10:14

of reciprocal tariffs on all countries

10:16

except for China, whose tariffs he

10:18

raised to 125%. Oh, wait, wait,

10:20

hold on one second. Johan,

10:23

it's Lovett. I'm sorry to

10:25

call so early in Zurich. Bad news. I

10:27

know last week we decided to open a chocolate

10:29

factory in East St. Louis. I

10:32

know, I'm really disappointed, too. They

10:34

said the tariffs were here to stay. Hey. Hey,

10:37

Johan. Don't cry.

10:40

I do think we'll always be

10:42

friends. Best to Ursina and

10:44

little Albrecht. Let's not call

10:46

it Auf Wiedersehen. Let's

10:48

call it goodbye forever. Why

10:51

did Trump back down, you ask? If

10:58

that joke worked, Hallie

11:01

had to buy me a sandwich. If

11:04

it didn't work, I have to buy

11:06

Hallie a sandwich. I think you fucking won.

11:08

Fuck. Fuck. Why did Trump

11:10

back down, you ask? Was it because

11:12

those other countries negotiated awesome deals? It

11:14

was not. You walk

11:16

us through your thinking about why

11:18

you decided to put a 90 -day

11:20

pause. Well, I thought that people were

11:22

jumping a little bit out of

11:24

line. They were getting yippy, you know?

11:27

They were getting a little bit

11:29

yippy, a little bit afraid. Yeah, people

11:31

get squirrely when you dump all

11:33

their money in a big toilet and

11:35

say, I am going to flush

11:37

this. The president continued. They

11:40

will be fair deals for

11:42

everybody, but they weren't fair to

11:44

the United States. They were

11:46

sucking us dry and you can't

11:48

do that. They were

11:50

sucking us dry. Negative. And

11:52

now they're sucking us dry. Positive.

11:56

My whole family is here. Stocks

12:00

immediately climbed after Trump's reversal, which helped

12:02

make sense of Trump's truth social post

12:04

from earlier that morning that said. This

12:06

is a great time to buy. Signed,

12:09

DJT. Trump innovating in the

12:11

insider trading space by posting this

12:13

on the internet. Internet -sider

12:15

trading, if you will. Health

12:17

Secretary RFK Jr. finally changed his tune

12:19

on the measles vaccine after a second

12:21

child died of the illness. Writing in

12:23

a Sunday ex -post, the most effective

12:25

way to prevent the spread of measles

12:27

is the MMR vaccine. RFK Jr. explained

12:29

that his target number of dead kids

12:31

was two. Anti

12:38

-vax activist, sorry. Anti

12:40

-vax activist Sherry Tenpenny, who once

12:42

claimed during an Ohio legislative hearing

12:45

that COVID vaccine caused patients to

12:47

become magnetized, wrote in response, I'm

12:49

sorry, but there is no defense

12:51

for this poorly worded statement. Gee,

12:53

I guess magnet lady found

12:55

RFK Jr.'s new position polarizing.

12:59

In a Tuesday CBS News interview, Kennedy publicly

13:01

urged people to get the measles vaccine

13:03

for the first time since becoming health secretary.

13:06

It's one thing to say the measles

13:08

vaccine is the best way of preventing

13:10

spread, but it's another thing to then

13:13

say, and therefore, we suggest that you

13:15

get the measles vaccine. We encourage people

13:17

to get the measles vaccine. Okay, so

13:19

that, I mean, I think that's actually

13:21

the next step, and that's news as

13:23

far as I'm concerned, that you're saying

13:25

that. I'm still learning and evolving,

13:27

replied RFK Jr. while slurping down a

13:29

whole goldfish through a boba straw. I

13:34

do want to say, you know, when somebody does

13:36

something you've asked them to do, even if it's ridiculous

13:38

that we had to ask, and even if it's

13:40

abominable that we're in this position, we do express our

13:42

gratitude. The thank you carcass is in the mail. Last

13:46

month, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a legal resident

13:48

who has been in the U .S. since 2011,

13:50

was deported to SACAP, the Salvadorian mega prison.

13:52

The White House admitted Garcia was deported due

13:54

to an administrative error, but claimed they

13:56

do not have the authority to retrieve him

13:58

because he is now in the custody of

14:00

El Salvador. A classic case of nut it. A

14:03

judge ordered the Trump White House

14:05

to bring the Maryland man back by

14:07

midnight Monday, but the Supreme Court

14:10

issued a temporary stay on that ruling.

14:12

And then on Thursday, the Supreme

14:14

Court ruled that the U .S. government

14:16

must facilitate Abrego Garcia's return in an

14:18

unsigned order. In a separate statement,

14:20

the three liberal justices went further, saying

14:22

the court was wrong to stay

14:24

the Monday order and that Abrego Garcia

14:26

deserves the full due process he

14:28

was denied. And that's three more thank

14:30

you carcasses in the mail from

14:32

Crooked Media. Just do want to stop

14:35

and say that all nine justices.

14:37

have now said in two separate rulings

14:39

that everyone deserves a measure of

14:41

due process, that the administration cannot just

14:43

remove people without giving people enough

14:45

time to have their objections heard in

14:47

court, and that removing someone to

14:49

a jail in El Salvador does not

14:51

mean that the administration does not

14:53

have a responsibility to try to correct

14:55

that mistake. Because what the Trump

14:57

administration position is, is they can take

14:59

anyone off the street. claim

15:02

that because they are an undocumented immigrant,

15:04

they can be deported without seeing a

15:06

judge. They can be sent to a

15:08

prison in El Salvador. And once handed over

15:10

to El Salvador, they no longer have

15:12

the ability to bring that person back. And

15:14

U .S. courts no longer have the ability

15:16

to question it. It is as clear

15:19

as day, a means of saying that they

15:21

can basically. deport

15:23

people, and imprison American citizens without

15:25

anyone having the ability to ever

15:27

question it or stop it. And

15:29

this is nine Supreme Court justices

15:31

saying that that is not going

15:33

to fly. And all the claims

15:36

that these are activist judges, they

15:38

are now, what, they're going to

15:40

claim Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas

15:42

and Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney

15:44

Barrett and the other one, Gorsuch,

15:46

that these are all, what, liberal

15:48

activist judges? That's

15:51

all. Fuck them. All right. Also

15:57

this week, the Supreme Court vacated Judge James

16:00

temporary ban on the Trump administration's attempt to

16:02

deport Venezuelan immigrants using the Alien Enemies Act.

16:04

The Trump administration claimed victory, but all nine

16:06

justices also make clear that the administration must

16:09

notify immigrants that they're facing deportation ahead of

16:11

time so they can challenge the government's decision.

16:13

The court unanimously agrees, in other words, that

16:15

everyone is due some sort of process. These

16:17

have been decisions with something for everybody, and

16:19

by the same token, satisfying to no one,

16:21

like a protein brownie or salmon with frosting

16:23

on it. And if you've

16:25

been following the story of Andre Hernandez, Romero,

16:28

the gay makeup artist sent to El Salvador

16:30

after an investigator with CoreCivic, which contracts with

16:32

ICE, signed off on the claim he was

16:34

in Trende or Agua, it turns out that

16:36

that investigator was once a Milwaukee cop so

16:38

shady, county prosecutors flagged him as too unreliable

16:40

to testify in court. Are you so terrible

16:42

at being a cop that even other cops

16:44

are like, woof, I don't know about this

16:47

guy. An exciting career awaits you at ICE.

16:50

Apparently, this guy left the force after

16:52

drunkenly driving his car into a

16:54

literal home while being investigated for lying

16:56

about overtime and was convicted for

16:58

kicking in the door of an apartment

17:00

and threatening to kill himself with

17:02

his service revolver in front of his

17:04

girlfriend. Now he's sending immigrants to

17:06

a mega prison based on their tattoos,

17:08

said everybody in his high school

17:10

reunion. Yeah, seems about right. So

17:14

as Trump tanks the global economy and

17:16

his administration terrorizes legal immigrants, Fox News continues

17:18

to be laser focused on the most

17:20

important topic of the day, gender. Here

17:23

we have Fox News' gender chaos

17:25

headlines. The network had to dig through

17:27

second and third tier sports to

17:29

find enough trans athletes to freak the

17:31

squares this week, rallying against trans

17:33

women playing in a women's pool tournament

17:35

and a fencing competition. Pool.

17:37

A sport that famously hinges on

17:39

the sheer physical strength of the competitor.

17:41

The most jacked person who hits

17:44

the balls the hardest wins. Pool. Here

17:46

we have a clip from Fox

17:48

News. But

17:53

we got

17:55

in trouble. Yeah,

17:58

that's right. Music

18:00

man. But

18:03

good news, the solution to

18:05

gender confusion exists, is a stiff

18:08

dose of international trade barriers.

18:10

This is an actual Fox News

18:12

chiron from this week. Trump's

18:14

manly tariffs. Pundit believes it could

18:16

reverse crisis in masculinity. Because

18:19

men need to get out of the office and

18:21

back to the factory floor. When

18:23

you sit behind the screen all day,

18:25

it makes you a woman. Studies

18:27

have shownness. Studies have shownness. And

18:29

without working, like, building robots like

18:31

Harold, you are around other guys.

18:33

You're not around HR ladies and

18:35

lawyers that gives you estrogen. What

18:37

do you do? Let me finish,

18:39

Judge. You sit behind the

18:41

screen. Yeah. Get

18:44

his ass, Judge Jeanine

18:47

Pirro. Fuck. Whatever.

18:50

In other news, Nintendo paused pre -orders

18:52

of their Switch 2 in the

18:54

U .S., Canada, and China in

18:56

response to Trump's tariff threats. Unacceptable.

18:58

Just wait till my father, Bowser,

19:00

hears about this. GameStop

19:03

CEO Ryan Cohen, himself a vocal

19:05

Trump fan, tweeted, These tariffs are turning

19:07

me into a dem, along with

19:09

the rainbow emoji. He

19:14

may be the CEO of GameStop, but

19:16

he doesn't like it when the games stop.

19:20

A pair of nearly 100 -year -old

19:22

Galapagos tortoises at the Philadelphia Zoo

19:25

have become parents for the first

19:27

time, cried the tortoise's mothers. Finally! And

19:33

by a very sweet coincidence, the

19:35

baby tortoise's face looks almost identical

19:37

to that of Gavin, the zoo's

19:39

loneliest maintenance man. Gavin,

19:47

fuck that turtle. Up

19:51

next, guess who's coming to Seder? It's

19:53

Robbie Hoffman and Rachel Bloom. Hey,

19:57

don't go anywhere. There's more of Love It or

19:59

Leave It coming up. This show

20:02

is sponsored by BetterHelp. Therapy

20:04

can feel like a big investment, but the

20:06

state of your mind is just as important

20:08

as your physical health. Let's talk numbers. Traditional

20:10

in -person therapy can cost anywhere from $100

20:12

to $250 per session, which adds up fast.

20:14

But with BetterHelp Online Therapy, you can save

20:16

on average up to 50 % per session. With

20:18

BetterHelp, you pay a flat fee for weekly

20:20

sessions, saving you being on cost and time.

20:23

Therapy should feel accessible, not like a luxury.

20:25

With online therapy, you can get quality care

20:27

at a price that makes sense and can

20:29

help you with anything from anxiety to everyday

20:31

stress. Your mental health is worth it, and

20:33

now it's within reach. I've benefited from therapy.

20:35

John, you've benefited from therapy. Sure have. Sure

20:37

am. You can learn positive coping skills. I

20:39

got to get a therapy session back on

20:41

the books. Book it.

20:44

Book it. I'm not doing What a Weekday

20:46

anymore. My therapy slot's back open. There you go.

20:48

My therapist texted me. I

20:50

got to text her back. She said,

20:52

I noticed there's no more What a Week. Why

20:54

don't you come in? Well, my therapist was like,

20:56

you got engaged? I was like,

20:59

yeah, I'm doing great. Do you want to

21:01

talk about it? I do, actually. Anyway,

21:03

therapy empowers you to be the best version

21:05

of yourself. It's not just for those who've

21:07

experienced major trauma. Everybody could benefit from it.

21:34

we're back! Before

21:38

we bring out Rachel and Robbie, my nephew

21:40

Bennett is here, and unless the cast of

21:42

Young Sheldon has finally responded to my many

21:44

invitations, he is almost certainly the youngest person

21:47

in attendance, which means he gets asked the

21:49

four questions of the Love It or Leave

21:51

It Passover Seder. Bennett, can

21:54

you please stand and help us out? Here, I

21:56

have this on a card for you. Would

21:59

you like to ask the first question? How

22:02

is this live show different from

22:04

all other live shows? I

22:07

don't know. We kind of create a Passover gimmick

22:09

for it because our parents were coming and all

22:11

the guests were Jews. What's

22:14

the second question? Will you

22:16

tell my mom to let me get a dog?

22:20

What do you think? It's

22:22

a no. I try. I

22:25

try. Third question. Why

22:27

hasn't Love It or Leave It become

22:29

a TV show? Well,

22:32

that sucks. I mean, we took it out, but

22:34

it was right before the pandemic. It's a tough

22:36

time in the industry. What's

22:38

the last question? What is

22:40

my birthday? Thank you, Bennett. Great

22:47

job on the floor. Please

22:51

welcome to the stage, Rachel Bloom

22:53

and Robbie Hoffman. Hi.

23:01

Hi, hi. How are you?

23:04

This is nice. Look at that. My

23:06

picture there. Beautiful. What a good looking

23:08

picture that was. I

23:10

took a good picture. Skin looks

23:12

great. Love it. Hi.

23:14

How are you? Robbie, you're in a

23:17

brand new series called Dying for Sex. Yes.

23:21

Congratulations. In addition to Hacks, which is premiering

23:23

right now, and I'm here with you. Wow.

23:28

Thank you. Big role on Hacks. Big

23:34

role on Hacks? Big role. I

23:36

think I'm in almost every episode. Wow.

23:39

So was she. You

23:41

know. The title is a little

23:43

bit ironic because they're very talented. Wait,

23:45

what's... Oh. No. I

23:48

love your wedding ring. Oh, thank you.

23:50

It's an engagement. Yeah, it's my engagement ring

23:52

there. So wait, but you're the boy

23:54

in the relationship? Because

23:56

I'm the boy in mine. No,

23:59

for sure. Well, that's an interesting

24:01

question. I think it's really kind

24:03

of, I think on some questions you would say yes,

24:05

but in others no. Let me see the part

24:07

and I'll decide right away. I know. What?

24:09

I'll say who's the boy, who's the

24:11

girl in the relationship. Okay, we'll just get

24:14

into some sort of giant metal or

24:16

glass cube and you can observe us for

24:18

a while and then tell us which

24:20

gender role think. But this is very girl

24:22

moves that you're wearing the ring. Well,

24:24

we're both wearing rings. Hmm.

24:28

You know when gay people are really gay? Like

24:31

it throws me off. I'm like, eh, but

24:33

what, you know, who's the girl, who's the boy?

24:35

Like, I'm like still like, well, don't actually

24:38

be gay. Who's

24:41

the girl, who's the boy is what a man in

24:43

a cowboy hat asks you on a plane. All

24:47

right. See, for me, I feel like I'm

24:49

so immersed in, I don't know, I have a

24:51

lot of queer friends, but also queer culture.

24:53

I said to my husband the other day, I

24:55

was like, well, I'm, you know, I'm the

24:58

bottom. I'm

25:00

just married to a man. I'm just married to

25:02

a cis man. Yeah, I'm the bottom. You're the

25:04

bottom. I was like, I'm not a top. And

25:06

he was like, yeah. Men

25:08

are the top, some women are the bottom. But I

25:10

guess there are some, I could be the top. I've never

25:12

pegged my husband as what I'm trying There's always, we

25:14

speak. It's

25:18

come up. It's come up

25:20

as a possibility. I

25:22

don't currently crave that power

25:24

dynamic. Does he? He

25:26

does not. Not. He's not,

25:28

no. Because you know I had a

25:30

boy once. He wanted me to put a

25:32

plastic bag on my finger and I

25:34

should put it up and... Maybe Bennett should

25:36

leave. Sorry.

25:40

Get him out. Cover

25:42

his ears. He's covering his ears. instantly forgot about

25:45

the child. I'm so sorry. I

25:47

don't know. We didn't think of condom something. We

25:49

were only like, you know... I mean, we were

25:51

of age to think of a condom. I was

25:53

maybe 21 when this happened. I

25:55

hear the prostate is a beautiful

25:57

experience, but he brought out

25:59

like a Ralph's bag. Like

26:02

a plastic bag. I've

26:06

only asked one question and it's, so I

26:08

understand you're in a new show. It's

26:14

getting fantastic reviews. I'm thrilled

26:16

about it. Dying for sex on

26:18

Hulu and hacks on HBO

26:20

Max. Well, the thing about the

26:23

dying for sex is about

26:25

A woman trying to become sexually

26:27

liberated while dealing with cancer. And

26:29

it raised a question, which is, can people

26:32

have sex when they're tired? No,

26:35

but you know what? Me and my wife. It's

26:37

not possible, right? It's never done. We're

26:39

so honest with each other. Like, I'll pitch.

26:41

We do this thing because I used

26:43

to think I was very open with sex.

26:45

I thought I'm open. I'm sexual. But

26:48

I don't talk. I won't, like, say,

26:50

oh, should we hook up tonight? Like, I

26:52

don't speak such things. In

26:54

a weird way, I'm like, I guess

26:56

that's what they mean when you're talking about

26:58

it. I guess I would like, you

27:00

know, do the moves like we're in bed.

27:02

But I would never like pitch to

27:04

her like, oh, we have the night off.

27:07

Like, do you want to fool around

27:09

tonight? Now I do that. So

27:11

I'm like, oh, I'm talking about sex

27:13

in a way like it felt like

27:16

so weird to pitch it unless it

27:18

happens organically. That's marriage. Which it has.

27:21

You got it. You start talking

27:23

about it. You start planning for

27:25

it. Yeah, because we like the

27:27

organic, and we also like this

27:29

because this is kind of exciting,

27:31

too. I'll realize, oh, we're getting

27:33

off early, pun intended. And I

27:35

don't know if she has anything

27:38

going on, but I'm like, maybe

27:40

I'll make dinner or something. So

27:42

we do that, and I don't

27:44

even know what the point of

27:46

this was. But if

27:48

we're tired, if she does the pitch

27:50

to me, if we've had sex or

27:52

whatever, if I'm tired and we haven't

27:55

had sex, okay, I'm tired two

27:57

minutes. I'll get over it. I'm

27:59

tired the beginning part and then

28:01

I don't realize I'm tired. Yeah.

28:03

But if we've just recent and

28:05

then we say, oh, and she

28:07

goes, she normally goes, me too.

28:09

I was just checking. When

28:12

you say recent, are you talking

28:14

about like... that, like, that hour?

28:16

No, this in the last couple days.

28:20

Nice. Yeah. Rachel,

28:23

in your book, you talk about

28:25

worrying about what happens if you

28:27

masturbate to porn while pregnant in

28:29

case your fetus is somehow imprinted

28:32

by the porn you watch. I

28:34

forgot that I wrote that, but

28:36

that was very, very smart. And

28:39

now that's a worry that I'll have again.

28:43

you put it into the book to kind of get

28:45

rid of it? I think I did. I think that's

28:47

how I deal with a lot of my intrusive thoughts.

28:49

That's funny. Yeah. Well,

28:52

now she's five,

28:54

and she's not into

28:56

porn. So I guess

28:58

that answers my question. I have

29:00

a question for you, Rachel. Did

29:02

you have sex when you were

29:04

pregnant? Yes. Okay, so do

29:06

you consider that a threesome? That's

29:10

a... No. Because

29:14

you were worried she was thinking back then. So

29:16

you think she was like, oh, dad's dick is

29:18

here now. Dad... Well,

29:20

the good thing is something... If they

29:22

can see the dick, something is can.

29:24

I mean, she's right there. No, no,

29:26

no. But it shouldn't... Something would be

29:28

very wrong. If a dick was going

29:30

into the uterus. That could probably cause

29:33

sepsis. Is there a doctor? a thin

29:35

film. That would probably cause... Well, because

29:37

it's bumping up against the cervix, but

29:39

it's only you're... She feels a bump.

29:41

She's definitely feeling something, and I read...

29:43

There's some poke in her. I did

29:45

read somewhere that when you have an

29:47

orgasm and you're pregnant, it makes the

29:49

baby feel like they're in a hot

29:51

tub. That they're

29:54

like little bubbles. Huh. So

29:57

that was cute. I

29:59

think what was my... Would you ever tell

30:01

your daughter you came while she was in you?

30:04

Would I or do I? Is this a

30:06

conversation people have? I don't have kids. I

30:08

don't know what people are kids. So my

30:10

daughter's five. So...

30:13

Don't you feel not having kids? Honesty's

30:15

the best policy. Don't you feel like not

30:17

having kids that sometimes... you don't, you

30:19

feel like you don't, you're going to say

30:21

the wrong thing. You don't know, you

30:23

don't know how to address the parents with

30:25

the kids. Like they're a whole nother

30:28

universe. I don't care. Yeah, you don't know

30:30

what's okay or you don't know what's

30:32

okay to say. I mean like my daughter,

30:34

she knows that babies grow inside, you

30:36

know, a belly. mean it's not a belly,

30:38

it's a uterus, but whatever. That

30:41

babies grow in the belly and she

30:43

hasn't asked further than that. So no,

30:45

I have not told my five -old

30:47

that I came. turns 21. She's of

30:49

age, I'm saying. By

30:51

the way, I came a couple times when

30:53

you were there. You're

30:55

good friends by this point, God willing.

30:57

Yeah, I think if she... No, you're saying

30:59

you don't say that. Okay, in some

31:01

things, honesty is not the best policy. I

31:03

think she'd have to ask. No,

31:05

asking good. We'd have to have

31:08

a... I think I'm such an

31:10

expulsive person. I'm such an overshare.

31:12

I think with her, I've been

31:14

mindful. Like, she asked... Our dog

31:16

is 15. That's just

31:18

a cute story that our dog's 15

31:20

and she's doing great. But she asked, why

31:22

hasn't Wiley ever had puppies? And

31:25

I was like, because Wiley can't. And she

31:27

was like, why? And I started to be

31:29

like, well, Wiley had her uterus taken out.

31:31

And my husband was like, no. And he

31:33

was like, she never wanted to. She was

31:35

focused on her career. But

31:38

I was about to explain like spaying

31:40

to my kid because the medical stuff you

31:42

say to your kid, you know, you

31:44

use the term, the real terms you use.

31:46

I try to use the word vulva,

31:49

which is the correct term for the entire

31:51

area. You know, it's not just vagina. But

31:54

you don't care. So

31:56

when you, the whole area to

31:58

you, it's okay to call that

32:00

vagina. But even though it's technically,

32:02

it's the vagina is just the

32:04

one hole. Okay.

32:08

Anyway, I'll say, I'll

32:11

say, I use

32:13

medically accurate, non -judgmental. And

32:16

again, to just reiterate, no, I have not

32:18

told my five -year -old that I came. Which,

32:21

by the way, is better that you haven't.

32:23

And by the way, I would leave that

32:25

in your court, obviously. Now,

32:28

I'm so convinced you're going to come over

32:30

to my house now and be like, kid, come

32:32

here. I think it would be

32:34

way worse if your husband told her this

32:36

one day. Yeah. Because he also came while

32:38

she was there. And that

32:40

would be way worse, in my

32:42

opinion. A father should never

32:44

tell a daughter this. And

32:47

look, that's something we've always said here at Love It

32:49

or Leave It. Hey,

32:52

question. Influencers are

32:54

trying to reach uncontacted tribes, like one

32:56

in the North Central Island. Jesus

32:58

Christ, someone needs to stop them. On

33:00

the one hand, experts call it

33:02

a human rights abuse. But on the

33:04

other hand, is it? Yeah,

33:07

you're going to die. You're going to get killed.

33:09

They're going to murder you. Well, yeah, that's bad

33:11

for you. Everyone

33:14

just leave everybody alone. you go on

33:16

somebody's lawn? You get shot up on the

33:18

block. I don't go on somebody's lawn.

33:20

I don't do nothing. I walk on the

33:22

sidewalk, and that's where I am. Never

33:25

mind some ancient tribe somewhere. You do

33:27

your thing. Enjoy. I don't even want

33:29

to know what's going on. So are

33:31

they landing there, or are the influencers,

33:33

what are they doing? Are

33:35

they dropping leaflets? The influencer had

33:37

a GoPro. And was trying

33:39

to get content, but then seems to have

33:41

left without having gotten any contact, but left

33:44

behind a Diet Coke and a coconut. I

33:46

don't really know why. I don't think he's like

33:48

crushing it. So is

33:50

it a human rights abuse to leave

33:52

behind a Diet Coke coconut? It's

33:54

a human rights abuse to contact these

33:57

tribes because A, there's the possibility

33:59

of disease. And then B, they're undisturbed.

34:01

They are isolated tribes. They have

34:03

not had contact with the rest of

34:05

civilization. And so it is. like

34:07

to the experts that care about this,

34:09

it is that the encroachment on

34:11

their tribes and on their kind of

34:13

autonomy would be eradicating, it would

34:15

be genocidal. Like you have to leave

34:17

these tribes where they are. There's

34:19

no such thing as rules. We made

34:21

these all up, okay? So rights,

34:24

like you're speaking of them, like is

34:26

it a human rights? Like sure,

34:28

there's morality that we've, but yeah, humans

34:30

can basically do whatever they want

34:32

for the time that they're here. There's

34:34

not really anything, I mean, we have no

34:36

idea. Like like humans, there's nothing stopping anybody

34:39

from doing anything. Look what's going on in

34:41

this country. So, yeah, I mean, it sucks

34:43

that they would do that. I wouldn't do

34:45

that to other people. But if other people

34:47

did it to them, I'd be like humans

34:49

can basically do if you wanted to kill

34:51

somebody, you could right now. You'd get in

34:53

trouble. Like you have to

34:55

face consequences because we have a society set

34:58

up, but you could do it. It's like when

35:00

comedians get mad that they can't talk about

35:02

anything anymore. You hear about the Chappelle, he's transphobic.

35:04

Well, you can't say anything anymore. Bro, you

35:06

could say whatever you want, but there's going to

35:08

be consequence. Like you could say,

35:10

you could be transphobic, you could do

35:12

whatever you want. Some people might be mad

35:14

at that. That's what that is.

35:16

Nobody's saying nobody can't do nothing. You can

35:19

kill as many people. You can do whatever

35:21

you want. But there

35:23

might be consequences. It

35:25

doesn't mean cannot do

35:27

it. I'm really

35:29

glad the child has left. Was

35:32

there a child here? Yeah, he's gone.

35:34

I saw him leave. It was a good

35:36

moment. I saw my father take my

35:38

nephew out. Okay, that's good. It's because of

35:40

me? I think it was at some

35:42

point where you were doing this. Several

35:45

different versions. There was this, there

35:47

was this, there was this, there

35:49

was this, and then he was

35:51

gone. She sang vulva to a

35:53

five -year -old. Well, I mean, yeah,

35:56

no, for sure. I'm

35:59

using protection in a Ralph's bag.

36:02

How many? All right, let's take a vote.

36:06

Who is more responsible for my nephew

36:08

having to leave? Is

36:11

it Rachel? Thank

36:14

you. Thank you. Or

36:16

was it Robbie? Wow.

36:21

Wow. Whatever. Pretty tough. And here's the thing. Do you

36:23

think am I going to hear about this later? What

36:26

do we think? Mom?

36:30

Mom, I'm sorry. trouble? I'm

36:32

in trouble. Stephanie? Is

36:35

your son, am I in trouble? Stephanie,

36:38

I apologize. Wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait. Yeah,

36:40

what are your thoughts? The

36:44

questions can all come to me. He's

36:47

going to have questions. But here's the whole

36:49

thing. You invite people who know me. Come

36:51

on. I don't think they know you. No,

36:53

but I'm saying this is a grown -up

36:55

comedy show. This is what people are doing

36:57

with kids. And then I'm in trouble. I'm

36:59

at a comedy club. I'm at a comedy

37:01

club. No one's getting you in trouble. Oh,

37:03

to be clear, you're doing your job. I'm

37:05

sorry. Mom.

37:07

Mom and I took a picture backstage. You

37:09

mad at me? I used

37:12

a bag. It's safety. Do you understand?

37:16

It's actually better. It's actually better. One

37:18

day you'll all thank me. I

37:20

promise you this. Your kids are asking

37:22

you. Hey, don't go anywhere. There's

37:24

more of Love It or Leave It

37:26

coming up. Today's

37:28

episode is sponsored by Acorns. What's a money

37:30

lesson that you learned the hard way? I

37:32

have one, which is I spent years, years,

37:34

years, years, years, years saying like, oh, I'm

37:37

going to figure out investing tomorrow. I'm going

37:39

to figure it out tomorrow. going to figure

37:41

it out tomorrow. And it's stupid, especially when

37:43

you're young because of compound interest. You

37:45

got to start. You got to start. April

37:48

38:21

grow look here's the thing it's important and

38:23

i definitely think it feels overwhelming to figure out

38:25

how to invest but that's because a lot

38:27

of what you see is people being stupid and

38:29

really you don't need to know a lot

38:31

and you don't need to do a lot of

38:33

complicated things you just need to invest into

38:35

a kind of diversified portfolio that basically tracks the

38:37

market there's a lot of different ways to

38:39

do that but once you do that you just

38:41

leave your money alone and you don't touch

38:43

it And if Donald Trump had done that with

38:45

the money he inherited, he'd be richer today

38:48

than he is because he is so bad at

38:50

business. You know, you want to be like

38:52

Donald Trump? I don't think

38:54

so. I don't think so.

39:25

Robbie, you got married earlier this

39:27

year. Rachel, we were talking about

39:29

this backstage. You've been married for

39:31

17 years. I've been with my

39:33

husband for 17. I've been married

39:35

for 10. Wow. Tips? Any tips?

39:37

Yeah, any tips? Just

39:40

communicate. Look, I think most of

39:42

it is luck. I just met the

39:44

right person at the right time.

39:46

But also, we just are open with

39:48

each other and we communicate really

39:50

well and we respect each other and

39:52

we make the subtext text the

39:54

best that we can. And

39:57

you have to keep having

39:59

sex. That's also very important. Yeah.

40:02

And how long have you been married? I've

40:04

been married for three months. Any

40:07

tips? Yeah,

40:11

I agree. I just, yeah, I got

40:13

lucky type of thing. I mean, I

40:15

love to hang. I used to keep,

40:18

like, girlfriends separate from, like, I would

40:20

go out or be with my friends.

40:22

But I love to hang out with

40:24

Gabby as well. So

40:26

now it feels like I

40:28

get to be, like, high

40:30

school girls that touch each

40:33

other. And the whole thing

40:35

is very erotic and it's fantastic and

40:37

we're best friends. But we also touch each

40:39

other. Yeah, same. So

40:41

it's very, it's like, yeah, it's like

40:43

I get that whole, like, I used

40:45

to think it was gay when people

40:47

said I'm marrying my best friend. I'm

40:49

like. You used to think

40:51

it was gay? Yeah, like not gay like that.

40:53

Just because I say something's gay doesn't mean it's

40:55

gay. Like you mean like 90s gay, like the

40:57

gay. Yeah, like the chair is gay. Obviously, it's

40:59

velvet. It's not gay. Who

41:01

cares? But you know what? We're

41:03

best friends who fool around, and

41:06

she's also my baby, and I'm

41:08

her baby, and we don't want

41:10

kids, and we just get to

41:12

be everything for each other. It's

41:14

really been a great few years

41:16

with her. And you got married

41:18

in Vegas. We did. Wow.

41:20

That's cool. Yeah, we were evacuated

41:22

for the fires, and by day

41:24

three or four there... And

41:26

she was saying, first of all, they hooked

41:28

us up with a free room because at

41:30

first we couldn't find a room. We were

41:32

supposed to be evacuated. We had to go

41:34

to, I was looking, Palm Springs or Joshua

41:36

Tree, whatever's close by, they told us to

41:39

call. And we couldn't have, couldn't hear back

41:41

from the hotels if there's a room. I

41:43

said, babe, you know where they have rooms?

41:45

No problem, 24 -7 Vegas. An hour and

41:47

a half more, we go there. She had

41:49

a hookup. We get into the room, Resorts

41:51

World, shout out, never heard of them. And

41:53

then, and we had like, It reminded me

41:55

of Hacks, actually. It was like a wedding

41:57

suite. And she was like, should we get

41:59

married? I'm like, oh, the fire is talking. I

42:02

don't want her to get too, you

42:04

know, because I've been saying it since I

42:06

met her, but I don't like when

42:09

it comes from her. I'm like, oh, she's

42:11

getting some things. It's not. And then

42:13

by day three, she was like, I am

42:15

going to Neiman Marcus and buying a

42:17

dress. And I'm like, okay, I got to

42:19

go to Cartier. And we

42:21

just had the greatest wedding. Like, we can't

42:23

recommend it enough. And you know what? Should

42:25

I tell you a secret? Yes. I

42:28

actually can't believe I'm

42:30

really doing this by the

42:32

time this comes out. So

42:34

we're actually legally getting

42:36

married tomorrow. Wow. Wow.

42:41

Yeah. We found out that

42:43

our biggest wedding, we're married

42:45

in Nevada, which no shade

42:47

to Nevada. I love the

42:49

state, great state of Nevada. Well,

42:52

we don't live there. Does

42:54

that not count on a federal level? No,

42:56

there's like five states where it does not

42:58

count. And Nevada is one

43:00

of them. That's why so many

43:02

people like get married in Nevada

43:04

because it's like you could technically

43:06

just be married there if you,

43:09

you know, it's like an easier

43:11

wedding to do. So you're legally

43:13

getting married in California. On

43:15

Friday? Tomorrow. Shabbos, yeah. Wow. What are

43:17

you doing? I can't say, but...

43:19

Okay. Oh, it's just going to be

43:21

us two again, as usual. It's

43:23

our favorite... Like, if you can get

43:25

married, just the two of you...

43:27

I mean, my brother Shmully called me.

43:29

He's like, I can't come to

43:31

the wedding. I said, no. I

43:35

have to tell you something. Like

43:38

Rachel talked about pegging in front of

43:40

my nephew. You advocating for a wedding where

43:42

my parents aren't there. Right. My mother's

43:44

going to come on this stage and fucking

43:46

kill you. Right.

43:49

But so your parents like gay people?

43:51

Yes. Yeah. So my parents, it's

43:53

like they don't even really, it's not

43:55

really a thing. And then her,

43:57

she's not with her mother and her

43:59

father's military. They're still trying to

44:02

figure out. So we're like, you know

44:04

what? Take your time. Just

44:07

take your time. Do you. We'll do

44:09

us. And honestly, we went to the

44:11

all -you -can -eat buffet at the Wynn

44:13

Hotel. I can't recommend it enough. Oh, a

44:16

great buffet. I can't

44:18

recommend it enough. I went to Vegas.

44:20

Crab legs, whatever you want. I

44:23

went to Vegas before the

44:25

2020 caucuses in Nevada. Stayed

44:27

at the Wynn. It turned

44:29

out two weeks before everything

44:31

shut down. I walked into

44:33

that buffet. basically two

44:35

meals in Las Vegas. Both of

44:37

them were my, a one meal a

44:39

day by myself. Yep. I went to

44:41

the Wynn buffet by myself and ate

44:43

enough in a 30 minute span that

44:45

I did not eat until the next

44:47

time I went to the Wynn buffet.

44:49

No, it's a one meal a day.

44:52

Yeah, yeah. No, it's, yeah. I remember

44:54

the first time I grew up in

44:56

LA and so my, we started going

44:58

to Vegas, I don't know, the first

45:00

time I was five, but the first

45:02

time I registered a buffet, The

45:05

first time I registered a buffet, maybe

45:07

actually this is when I was five,

45:09

and I just remember the first time

45:11

going into the Luxor Pharaoh's Feast and

45:13

being like, this is the height of

45:15

food. This is the pinnacle of food.

45:18

And it showed me the beauty of

45:20

binge eating. And

45:22

so I started to eat a bunch

45:24

of meals, even outside of Vegas, as

45:26

if I was still at the Pharaoh's

45:28

Feast, which culminated in a couple times

45:30

of me eating so much that I

45:32

then threw up. Wow. This is

45:34

not like, this is not an origin

45:36

story of, I didn't have binge eating disorder.

45:39

I just really liked. Sounds like. Free

45:41

rice and cookies. Yeah. I'd say, you know,

45:43

you let, the Pharaoh said, let my

45:45

lunch go. Wow. You know

45:47

what I'm saying? Trying to bring it back

45:49

to Pesach. was really, really good. I know,

45:51

they got nothing. Wait, do you

45:53

think the Luxor should do like

45:55

a whole Passover thing? Absolutely. like

45:57

reenact. I love an all you

45:59

can say. if they make a bunch

46:01

of Jewish people? repair things at

46:03

the Luxor for like the week. Like

46:06

you get a bunch of Jewish

46:08

people and you say, hey, we have

46:10

a leaky faucet in this room.

46:12

Like they make like the entire cleaning

46:14

staff is just a bunch of

46:16

Jewish people. Yes, that's a good idea.

46:18

And then there's a day where

46:20

they release them. Yep. No, it's a

46:22

cool idea for sure. then you

46:24

feel great. And you split the Bellagio

46:27

fountain and all of the Jewish

46:29

people. Yes. who've been

46:31

working in the Luxor pyramid all

46:33

week, get to bathe in

46:35

the Bellagio fountain. might be the

46:37

greatest idea I've ever heard.

46:39

That's awesome. That's awesome.

46:42

Please take it. We should really

46:44

do this. If we wanted to

46:46

actually have fun, if Jews actually

46:48

wanted to have fun, we'd reenact,

46:50

we would reenact being slaves in

46:52

Egypt and being freed. Yeah. At

46:54

the Luxor. Absolutely. Absolutely. If

46:56

we really wanted to have fun. If we really

46:58

wanted a good time. Well, we don't want a

47:00

good time anymore. don't want a good time. We're

47:02

afraid of a good time. Yeah. That's the thing

47:04

about Jews. That's a perfect transition to the next

47:07

part of our show. Robbie and Rachel, I think

47:09

it's fair to say that it's part of our

47:11

collective Jewish heritage to shy away from exhibiting any

47:13

traits that goyim might consider cliche. For example, using

47:15

the word goyim in front of the goyim. However,

47:18

in the spirit of Passover, I wanted to give

47:20

all of us an opportunity tonight to lighten our

47:22

mental load by embracing some Semitic stereotypes in a

47:24

segment we're calling If the Jew Fits. I

47:28

will serve up a Jewish stereotype, and Robbie

47:30

and Rachel, you'll tell us whether or not

47:32

the stereotype resonates with you. First

47:34

up, complaining, kvetching.

47:37

What's wrong with complaining? To complain

47:39

is to enjoy. To

47:42

me, this is one and the same.

47:44

I could be on a yacht and

47:47

find it too shaky. It doesn't mean...

47:49

It doesn't mean... It means I'm enjoying,

47:51

I'm alive, I'm in the experience. But

47:55

there's something that I find baffling.

47:58

Why are Jews so cold? Or hot.

48:00

Or hot. But my family, you

48:02

can't be under a draft. My grandfather,

48:04

when my mom was growing up,

48:06

they would have to restaurant hop if

48:09

the restaurant was too cold. But

48:11

we come from, I mean, some of,

48:13

I don't know. I guess we're

48:15

a desert people. Well, I guess, yeah.

48:17

Look, if we're talking OG desert

48:19

people, so I guess it's not. But

48:21

it gets cold in the desert

48:23

too. I was going to say. In

48:25

Europe, too. Yeah, for sure. it

48:27

depends how long your DNA is remembering

48:29

back. I just

48:31

think Jews are cold. They are

48:33

cold. We were in Mexico

48:35

at a really nice hotel over

48:37

the holidays. Excuse me. Not

48:41

to brag, we've been to Mexico. Jewish

48:44

president. Oh, they're the Jewish

48:46

president of Mexico. Claudia Sheinbaum.

48:49

Yeah, yeah. Wow, I did not

48:51

know that. Yeah. Her family,

48:53

yep, she's a... were

48:55

parents. I don't know if they

48:57

were survivors. But anyway, Ashkenazi, Jewish

48:59

ballet dancer, climate scientist, president of

49:02

Mexico. Wow. I wish her well.

49:04

Yeah. It's amazing what you

49:06

can have. But

49:09

so we're there and we're sitting,

49:11

we're sitting at this and we watch.

49:14

We were there around Hanukkah, so we knew who

49:16

all the Jews were because we had done a

49:18

candle lighting. And so then we're sitting at this

49:20

table and we watch just Jewish family after Jewish

49:22

family just say no to this one table. They

49:24

just got walked to the table. Ari

49:26

remembers this. And they were like, nope. And

49:28

they would get walked to another table. And

49:30

then another Jewish family came. They tried to

49:32

say that. Nope. It was behind a pole.

49:34

They couldn't see the view. What? Moved. Moved.

49:36

Three Jewish families said no to this table.

49:38

And then a lovely, very clearly. not Jewish

49:40

couple are sat at this table. They eat

49:42

their whole meal and they're so happy. And

49:44

at the end, the man said the most

49:46

kind of Christian thing I've ever heard, which

49:48

is he turned to the waiter and said,

49:50

would you please send the chef our compliments?

49:54

I don't think a Jew's ever said that. No. I

49:57

always have envy for these type of

49:59

people because it takes me so much. I

50:01

feel like it's like if you get

50:04

started watching porn, then you need crazier and

50:06

crazier porn, these type of people. It's

50:08

like sometimes I'm on a plane. I was

50:10

on a plane next to just a

50:12

regular Midwestern type of lady. She must have

50:14

been mid -50s. She ordered Pinot Grigio, whatever.

50:16

She's watching Mall Cop 2. Not Mall

50:18

Cop 1, Mall Cop 2. Kevin James in

50:21

a mall on a sidewalk. The Paul

50:23

Blart one. What? Paul Blart. Go

50:25

on. Paul Blart? I don't know.

50:27

Was it Paul Blart? Kevin James.

50:30

It's Paul Blart. I don't know why

50:32

I'm connecting. It feels like I'm correcting

50:34

Kevin James' pronouns, but I'm not. I

50:37

think it's Paul Blart. Have you seen King

50:39

of Queens? I love that

50:41

show. Anyway, she

50:43

is, this lady is sitting next to

50:45

me. I'm Middle C. This lady, it's

50:47

like, even the setup to any joke,

50:49

she's already dying. she's like plotsed out

50:51

like she's like fucking dying then as

50:54

soon as the joke hits whatever their

50:56

slapstick stupid he falls off the thing

50:58

she's the wine is everywhere like she

51:00

is she's dying at this movie and

51:02

meanwhile I'm still looking for something to

51:04

watch it takes me so long to

51:06

find something and this lady could just

51:09

throw on whatever's there and enjoy her

51:11

life and I have an envy for

51:13

these people Absolutely.

51:15

No, I know it is. There's

51:17

something about it's beautiful. You're just sort

51:19

of like, that's so cool. They

51:21

just enjoy so much. I still get

51:24

like that when it comes like

51:26

I will rewatch any of the Austin

51:28

Powers and I'm back to being

51:30

in middle school. And like a couple

51:32

of weeks ago, I was like.

51:34

My daughter has to see Austin Powers.

51:36

And so I turn on Austin

51:38

Powers, too, and the first thing is,

51:40

like, fat bastard having just fucked

51:42

Heather Graham. And I'm like, nope, never

51:44

mind. She will not see

51:46

Austin Powers. When I was pregnant, when I was

51:48

pregnant, by the way, I would do a

51:50

fat bastard voice all the time. I would go,

51:52

like, I'd be like, oh, my baby. It

51:55

was so fun where I was

51:57

like, my baby's kicking my bladder.

52:00

Oh. It's

52:03

like actually the main reason to have another kid

52:05

just to be able to go around and do that.

52:08

How old's your nephew? How old

52:10

is Bennett? Benny, how old are you?

52:12

Oh, he's back? Oh, you're only nine?

52:16

No, bro, nine is too

52:18

young. Wait, you're ten.

52:21

You're nine? No, nine is really

52:23

young. And actually, I can't guarantee

52:26

my performance. I thought we...

52:28

Then why did we... Oh, it was

52:30

his three -quarters birthday at Hogwarts. I

52:32

thought he would be 13. Nine

52:35

is too young, and I can't

52:37

guarantee. I'm an R -rated performer. Sorry,

52:39

you're going to record a live comedy

52:41

show at Hogwarts? No, no, no.

52:44

We just went to... I was like,

52:46

how did you get in there?

52:48

Muggles can't access it. at this point,

52:50

the parents, the onus is on

52:52

you. I

52:55

am not myself a parent. I

52:57

don't really care. Okay,

53:00

so the onus is on you, and

53:02

all the responsibility is with you, and I

53:04

feel fine being me. Thank

53:09

you. I

53:11

thought he was 10. All right. Anyway,

53:14

we'll be right back. Hey,

53:19

don't go anywhere. There's more of Love It or

53:21

Leave It coming up. Love

53:24

it or leave it brought to you by

53:26

Bombas. What have I told you the most important

53:28

part of your spring cleaning routine is your

53:30

sock drawer. Yep, you heard that, right? It's time

53:32

to ditch any mismatched tired pairs and refresh

53:34

your collection with some fresh Bombas. I actually really

53:36

did this and I got rid of every

53:38

sock I have that's not Bombas. I have only

53:40

Bombas and it's fantastic. So now my spring

53:42

cleaning, I'm going into the kitchen, John. Nice. I'm

53:44

getting rid of a bunch of old spatulas. I'm

53:47

fully Gwyneth. I'm moving away from plastic

53:50

and silicone. It's only stainless steel from here

53:52

on out. I'm moving away more microplastics.

53:54

No more microplastics. I saw an article about

53:56

how there's microplastics in my fucking olive

53:58

oil. The one I use.

54:00

It's over. Anyway, you're talking about

54:02

socks? Unlock your new running

54:04

hobby. Bombas engineers blister -fighting, sweat -wicking athletics

54:06

locks that help you go from the first mile to

54:09

the whole marathon. A nice pair to wear at a

54:11

wedding. Bombas dress socks are made for loafers, heels, and

54:13

all your other fancy shoes. And for your other spring

54:15

cleaning chores, Bombas has the cushioned arch -hugging pairs that will

54:17

keep you comfy while you spruce up the house. That's

54:19

what I'm wearing right now. You

54:21

know what goes great with new spring socks?

54:24

Fresh white t -shirts. Waterproof slides. I have those.

54:26

And a few pairs of buttery soft underwear. Bombas

54:28

makes all that too. Best part. I'm wearing

54:30

a buttery soft underwear. Oh,

54:32

okay. All right.

54:34

He's just wearing old potato sacks

54:36

careful. Well,

55:23

look at this. Are you mad me?

55:26

Hi, welcome to LA. Hi, hi, hi. Are you mad at

55:28

me? Okay. Let's sit there.

55:30

I'm going to stay over here just

55:32

because we don't have enough space. All

55:34

right. Sit down. It's great. Thank you.

55:37

Mother. both look really great. You

55:39

look lovely. When you speak,

55:41

just bring the mics up when you speak. Mother.

55:44

Yes, dear. Wendy. Yes.

55:47

They say you don't get a second chance

55:49

to make a first impression. You two literally

55:51

met today, right? You briefly spoke. Did you

55:53

cross paths at the house before the show?

55:55

We did. We did cross paths, yes. You've

55:57

really never had a real conversation, so it's

55:59

time for a segment we're calling Meet the

56:01

Makatanam. Makatanam

56:04

is a Yiddish word that doesn't exist in English

56:06

but should, as it means my child's spouse's parents.

56:08

Moms, I will provide you with questions, and I'll

56:10

be checking in with Robbie and Rachel throughout to

56:12

get their perspective on how well this bit is

56:14

going. Are you

56:16

both ready? Mom, kick it off.

56:19

I'm asking this to Wendy?

56:21

That's correct. Okay, Wendy. Mike

56:23

closer, Mike closer. When

56:25

did you last sing to yourself or

56:27

to someone else? What

56:30

if anything? No, no, you have to

56:32

answer now. Oh. No, you have

56:34

to. No,

56:39

Wendy, you've been asked a question.

56:41

The question was. Wendy,

56:46

when is the last time you sang

56:48

to yourself or to someone else? This

56:53

week. What would you sing? I

56:55

sang a Jewish song that I

56:57

really like in the shower. Oh,

57:00

what was the song? O

57:02

Seh Shalom. And

57:05

you were singing that to yourself just

57:07

like in the shower? Yep, that's beautiful. Mother,

57:10

when was the last time you sang a song? It's

57:13

been a while. I don't have a very good

57:15

voice. All right, Wendy, over to

57:17

you. Okay. You're asking me

57:19

this. What,

57:21

if anything, is too serious

57:23

to be joked about? Hello,

57:33

Bobby. I'm a Netflix

57:35

comedian. Like, I don't know. The

57:37

children, I'm sorry. He didn't tell

57:40

me. But you also, you do

57:42

come from children's TV. When I

57:44

worked in children's TV, I wasn't

57:46

doing this. I'm

57:49

an Emmy award -winning children's

57:51

writer. Mother, what, if

57:53

anything, is too serious to be joked about? Well,

57:56

I don't like when people have jokes

57:58

and they hurt other people's feelings. Okay,

58:01

that's nice. Now,

58:07

Mom, you ask a question to Wendy. It's

58:10

a simple format. Both

58:12

very smart women. I think you're going to get the hang

58:14

of it. I think

58:16

there's only two more questions. We kept it

58:18

pretty tight. Okay. Oh,

58:21

this is so sad. Okay, Wendy. Your

58:24

house containing everything you own

58:26

catches fire. And after saving your

58:28

loved ones and pets, and

58:30

you have time to safely make

58:33

a final dash to save

58:35

one item. What would it be

58:37

and why? Oh,

58:40

wow. Probably

58:45

some jewelry from my heritage,

58:47

from my family. Some jewelry

58:49

from the family. Well, so

58:51

that jewelry had come a

58:53

long way. Yeah,

58:56

from my mom, most

58:58

likely, or my grandma. Okay.

59:01

You said you know, but we don't know. I

59:04

don't know what jewelry this was, but it

59:06

could be jewelry that made it on the other

59:08

side of the Holocaust is what I was

59:10

getting at. Yeah, no, none of that. I

59:13

was trying to let you

59:15

bring up the Holocaust. can

59:17

tell when someone is about

59:19

to bring up the Holocaust.

59:22

I didn't know what jewelry it was. I just thought

59:24

if it made it all the way through the

59:26

Holocaust, you'll grab it in a fire. It's

59:28

probably a sentimental. No, I

59:30

understand it's sentimental. I don't think

59:32

she's getting it to melt it down and

59:34

sell it. Now, Mom, what

59:36

do you think about him bringing up the

59:38

Holocaust to make her feel such a pain

59:41

for no reason? She

59:44

wasn't even thinking. Her head

59:46

wasn't even there. I wasn't

59:48

there. was spending a good time.

59:50

Yeah, the time wasn't great. So,

59:54

Fran, what would you save? Oh,

59:56

you're asking me what I'd save? Well,

59:58

that was your question, Wendy.

1:00:01

You have this one. No, no,

1:00:03

you ask... Mom, you're just

1:00:05

meeting. Don't be a bitch. What

1:00:10

would you save in a fire? Well,

1:00:13

I probably would save all my photos. I

1:00:15

mean, that's, you know, what I love the

1:00:17

most. Yeah, that's a good answer. Okay,

1:00:19

that's a good answer. All right, Wendy, you want to ask

1:00:21

the last one? Well, no, I want to ask you a

1:00:23

question. You lived the fire.

1:00:25

What did you decide to save? Well,

1:00:27

we didn't really, I mean, there

1:00:29

was no fire near us. We just

1:00:31

left because the power went out.

1:00:33

But still, we didn't have any Wi

1:00:35

-Fi. Wendy,

1:00:43

do you want to ask my mom

1:00:45

the last question? Okay, Fran. What

1:00:48

do you value most in a

1:00:50

friendship? I value

1:00:52

most in a friendship

1:00:54

would be honesty

1:00:56

and someone who's there

1:00:59

for you and

1:01:01

some laughter. You know,

1:01:03

all that's good. That's very nice. a

1:01:05

lot of pathos from you tonight. A

1:01:08

lot of what? When you read

1:01:10

that question about the house burning down, it was like

1:01:12

she was really there. Did anybody else catch that? It's

1:01:15

like a real performance. Should

1:01:17

we ask questions? If you'd like. What

1:01:19

are both of your thoughts on God?

1:01:23

Thank you, moms. You did an amazing

1:01:25

job. And

1:01:27

because I need you both

1:01:30

to love each other, those

1:01:32

questions were all from the

1:01:34

famous New York Times list

1:01:36

of 36 questions that lead

1:01:38

to love. One

1:01:41

more time. Are you in love? Okay.

1:01:48

Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Wendy. When

1:01:50

we come back, we'll spin the wheel.

1:01:58

And we're back. What

slash events. That's next week. not bring kids.

1:03:03

At Dynasty. It's

1:03:08

not like someone else brought kids.

1:03:10

I did it. I

1:03:13

did this. It's

1:03:15

my fault. I'm the one that's

1:03:17

going to pay. Like,

1:03:20

if I worked at a real company, I could

1:03:22

go to HR for this. Like,

1:03:24

let's say, like, this was really my

1:03:26

company, and there's, like, a kid that's, like,

1:03:28

I do grown -up stuff. It's like having

1:03:30

a construction place you just let some

1:03:33

lady walk in without shoes on. It's

1:03:36

like a violate, you know I mean?

1:03:38

It's, like, dangerous. It's, like, actually, it's a

1:03:40

liability. I just want to stop you.

1:03:42

If you think that the audience needs an

1:03:44

analogy to understand... Why talking about

1:03:46

pegging in front of children is frowned

1:03:48

upon. Like, they got it. By the way,

1:03:50

did I say peg? She brought peg.

1:03:52

It was all me. It was all me.

1:03:54

And you what? I said with plastic

1:03:56

wrap, not even peg. no, not going back

1:03:58

to it. We're moving on. Next. To

1:04:00

be clear, I was talking about the character

1:04:02

Peg Bundy. Bennett, a little peg. From

1:04:04

the wonderful series Married with Children. Played.

1:04:09

No, it was by Katie Segal. a

1:04:11

little peg. It's a safety.

1:04:13

Now it's time to end

1:04:15

this theater with a spin.

1:04:17

There's nothing wrong with a

1:04:19

human body. You're exploring. It's

1:04:21

time to spin. She would

1:04:24

go, ow. She would go,

1:04:26

ow. She would go, ow.

1:04:28

Di -di -anu. Di -di -anu. -anu.

1:04:30

It's like if you're going

1:04:32

to have your kids try

1:04:34

alcohol, have it at your

1:04:36

house. You regulate

1:04:38

them. Give them some Manischewitz. You don't want

1:04:40

them out there. Here's how the Daienu wheel

1:04:42

works. I actually wasn't allowed to watch Married

1:04:45

with Children as a kid. So that's actually,

1:04:47

that doesn't even work. I wasn't allowed to

1:04:49

watch it either. And you remember I would

1:04:51

sneak in to watch it. I

1:04:53

watched Oz at 10. Oh

1:04:55

my God. Jesus.

1:05:00

My brother Levy had it on and

1:05:02

it was a fantastic show. I

1:05:05

would sneak MTV's Undressed.

1:05:08

Oh, yes. Remember? Well, MTV Undressed was

1:05:10

an amazing show. It was designed to

1:05:12

hook children. It was basically a drug.

1:05:14

100%. Because every episode had three ongoing

1:05:17

stories. And every episode, each story was

1:05:19

in a different place. So the stories

1:05:21

would have three beats. And so each

1:05:23

episode, a story would be at the

1:05:25

beginning, a story be at the middle,

1:05:27

a story be at the end. Have

1:05:29

you written? a speck of undressed. You

1:05:31

know a lot about the structure. This

1:05:33

is unusual. But what was amazing about

1:05:36

undressed is once in a while there

1:05:38

would be a gay storyline. I remember

1:05:40

this. And it was the only place

1:05:42

on television that you could regularly happen

1:05:44

upon two boys kissing. And

1:05:46

Bennett has to hear about this? But

1:05:49

what was interesting about undressed, this is

1:05:51

just from memory, truly just from memory

1:05:53

of it airing at the time, but

1:05:56

basically they would show heterosexual kisses close

1:05:58

up. But when they showed a gay

1:06:00

kiss, they would cut really far away.

1:06:02

So the gay kisses were always wide.

1:06:04

And it was like, sucked.

1:06:08

Yeah, that's so, I wonder what that.

1:06:10

Because it's cable, right? And so it's

1:06:12

not like they were trying to fit

1:06:14

into FCC guidelines. This is boring. I

1:06:16

had a network show for four years,

1:06:18

so I got to know intimately what

1:06:20

the FCC allows and doesn't allow on

1:06:22

network TV and what standards and practices

1:06:24

will and will not allow. But it's

1:06:26

not... They did the right thing. Yeah,

1:06:28

they did. So

1:06:32

here's how

1:06:34

the Diana... a

1:06:36

time and a place. There's

1:06:38

a time and a place. For

1:06:41

kids, for gays, for different things. Let's

1:06:43

just all have some decorum of respect

1:06:45

for one another. also say, for the

1:06:47

record though, my five -year -old completely understands

1:06:49

gay people. It's not for anyone who's

1:06:51

like, how are you going to make...

1:06:53

For anyone who's like, don't kiss in

1:06:55

front of my kid. Are you going

1:06:57

to make me explain gay people to

1:06:59

my kid? It's really easy. You just

1:07:01

say, some men love men

1:07:03

and some women love women. They go,

1:07:06

okay. It's so funny. The first

1:07:08

time I heard about a trans person

1:07:10

or anything like that was our

1:07:12

cousin Pinsky, who was enormous. He was

1:07:14

the size of the car, and

1:07:16

he was the greatest guy. And he

1:07:18

would come to visit us, and

1:07:20

I don't even know how he's my

1:07:23

cousin. But it's like, Pinsky's in,

1:07:25

he's got candy, and so we're in.

1:07:27

And Pinsky showed up. His girlfriend

1:07:29

must have been 6 '4". We're

1:07:32

like, this is the tallest lady we've ever seen.

1:07:34

And we went up to my mother and my

1:07:36

mother was just like making, like making. And I'm

1:07:38

like, Ma, what's up with this? And we were

1:07:40

like all asking her, like me and my brother's

1:07:42

mom, it's like, why? Binsky's

1:07:44

girlfriend is so tall. Like just the tallest

1:07:46

girl we ever seen. And we kept saying,

1:07:49

how tall are you? You're a kid. How

1:07:51

tall are you? And she was happy to

1:07:53

tell us and whatever. And I was like,

1:07:55

what's with Binsky? And she goes, she was

1:07:57

born a boy and now she's a girl.

1:07:59

And I'm like, ah, okay. And it totally

1:08:01

made it sense. It made it, that's why

1:08:03

she's tall. Like, it was like, oh, I

1:08:06

must have been like five or six years

1:08:08

old. I'm like, oh, makes sense. And we

1:08:10

all moved on. That was the end of

1:08:12

that. There was no follow -up. I was

1:08:14

like, oh. Yeah, yeah. Okay,

1:08:17

and then we just, yeah. And so, and he

1:08:19

just was like, he was with the trans woman

1:08:21

for years and years. We never knew she was

1:08:23

a trans, we never even had that language, but

1:08:25

we just knew, she's a boy, now she likes

1:08:27

to be a girl. But it never

1:08:30

came up past that again. It was

1:08:32

just like we figured it out. So it's

1:08:34

very easy. And then you don't have,

1:08:36

if you make it a bigger deal, it's

1:08:38

like if a kid falls, it's fine.

1:08:40

It's fine. If you make it a big

1:08:42

deal, they're going to be screaming, crying.

1:08:44

It's almost like we need to take the

1:08:46

whole conservative movement and then show them

1:08:48

a bunch of trans and gay people and

1:08:50

just go, you're okay. It's

1:08:54

no big deal. You're okay. You're fine. You're

1:08:56

going to get up and run around and have

1:08:58

a good time with your friends. You're okay.

1:09:00

Yeah. You're okay. You're a tough little guy. You're

1:09:02

okay. Exactly. It's like, oh, and

1:09:04

they just want to like know what

1:09:06

happened. Like everybody just, it's just to say,

1:09:08

yeah, I agree to some extent. That's

1:09:10

it. Nope. We got to spin. Now

1:09:13

it's time for the Diana wheel. Here's

1:09:15

how it works. We're going to spin the

1:09:17

wheel and we'll each have one minute

1:09:19

to talk about something that we've had enough

1:09:21

of. Diana. Oh,

1:09:24

it's spinning. It

1:09:26

is landed on

1:09:28

Robbie. What's something

1:09:30

you've had enough

1:09:32

of? You know

1:09:35

what it is?

1:09:38

Once you get a new phone. So

1:09:40

somebody texts you and then you

1:09:43

go, I'm sorry. Who's this? And

1:09:45

they take it so personal. Like,

1:09:47

I'm not saving numbers, bro. Like,

1:09:50

it takes me a whole thing to go

1:09:52

new, add contact, do it. It's like, why

1:09:55

can't I ask who's this? Even if I

1:09:57

know you and we're friends. Like, what's the

1:10:00

big... It's like, you don't know my phone

1:10:02

situation. Like, you don't know. Like, maybe

1:10:04

I just got a new

1:10:06

phone. Maybe I just never

1:10:08

save numbers. I used to like to memorize numbers,

1:10:10

so I never used to save numbers. Now

1:10:12

it's too many numbers to memorize. But I'm like...

1:10:15

Just throw me a name,

1:10:17

like, bro. Like, it's not

1:10:19

that personal. Yeah, it's

1:10:21

enough. It's enough, Dianu. It's like somebody

1:10:23

says, if you message somebody and

1:10:25

they say, oh, no problem, who's this?

1:10:28

Don't go, oh, my God. It's

1:10:30

like, great, I'm thrilled to hear from

1:10:32

you. It's like, there's

1:10:35

no problem here. There's no

1:10:37

problem here. make problems with this

1:10:39

problem, Dianu? We have enough

1:10:41

problems. We have, don't borrow trouble.

1:10:45

Dayenu. Let's spin it again. It's

1:10:55

perfectly rigged. Oh, wow. Rachel, you're up.

1:10:57

What is something you'd like to say

1:10:59

Dayenu to? Human

1:11:01

beings in groups. Except

1:11:05

in a theater. I

1:11:09

don't... than when

1:11:11

it's groups of people gathered

1:11:13

for positivity, which can be

1:11:15

very powerful, I think something

1:11:17

tribal happens when you get

1:11:19

human beings into groups. And

1:11:21

this is in person. This

1:11:23

is social media. I just

1:11:25

think that the group mob

1:11:27

thinking is very, very... is

1:11:30

very alarming to me. the same

1:11:32

time, community is fantastic. But I

1:11:34

guess when you talk about community,

1:11:36

I guess that's for a good

1:11:38

cause. I guess what I'm saying

1:11:40

is I'm over human beings and

1:11:42

their adrenaline being up when they're

1:11:44

in groups. Something happens when you

1:11:46

kick in the lizard fear brain

1:11:48

in groups of people. And I

1:11:50

was reading an article in the

1:11:52

New York Times about George Orwell

1:11:54

and how... everyone

1:11:56

across the political spectrum loves to

1:11:59

say, this is Orwellian, this is Orwellian,

1:12:01

right? They love to think that

1:12:03

George Orwell would be on their side,

1:12:05

right? That George Orwell would, no,

1:12:07

he'd be liberal or he'd be conservative,

1:12:09

but George Orwell was actually very

1:12:11

mistrustful generally of systems, of codified systems,

1:12:14

of groups. And I guess that

1:12:16

makes me Orwellian right now. Hell yeah,

1:12:18

nice. I know that's not a

1:12:20

funny answer, but... It doesn't need to

1:12:22

be, it's true. Yeah, I

1:12:24

just think. Dianu to that. I just, Dianu,

1:12:26

I think human beings on an individual

1:12:28

one -to -one level are very redeemable. I like

1:12:30

a group hang, though. I like a

1:12:32

group hang. I like a positive. That was

1:12:34

a one -on -one. It's too much pressure.

1:12:36

I like a positive group. I guess what

1:12:38

I'm talking about. Remember flash mobs when

1:12:40

everybody would get together and do a dance

1:12:42

at the mall? So I guess I'm

1:12:44

saying human beings in groups when it's not

1:12:46

something like positive Four or five

1:12:48

people watching a movie is a good time.

1:12:50

You know what? I don't know. You're right. You

1:12:53

heat up some people. bagels? You

1:12:55

like pizza bagels? I like groups. The

1:12:57

mini pizza bagels? 14 minutes. I guess

1:12:59

I didn't think this through. I like

1:13:01

people in groups when it's positive. There's

1:13:04

just something about... You don't like to

1:13:06

shit talk? I love to

1:13:08

shit talk. Okay, you ever get somebody...

1:13:10

There's some good tea going around. Oh, I love it.

1:13:12

I love to hear the tea. You're right. Hit me

1:13:14

with the tea. Dayenu. Let's spin it

1:13:16

one more time and see who it's going to

1:13:18

land on. Here's

1:13:26

what I would like to say,

1:13:28

Dianu, too. It's a very specific

1:13:30

thing. It is the increasing number

1:13:32

of inanimate objects that people are

1:13:34

referring to as she or her.

1:13:37

I have grown sick of it.

1:13:39

It's getting my hackles up. It's

1:13:43

turning something. It's making me uncomfortable. It's

1:13:45

making me nervous. I'll

1:13:48

see a social media video, the

1:13:50

way all the kids would say it.

1:13:53

Someone will get a new person

1:13:55

say, look at her. I

1:13:57

love her. Okay. Okay. Then it's

1:13:59

somebody makes, I don't know,

1:14:01

like a chicken dish. And there's

1:14:03

like, look at her. She's

1:14:05

beautiful. About a chicken dish. I

1:14:07

saw somebody make a dining

1:14:09

room table and say, look at

1:14:12

her. She's beautiful. It's enough.

1:14:14

It was weird when it was

1:14:16

just boats. It's

1:14:19

weird that it's sometimes countries, but not

1:14:21

all countries, because some of the countries are

1:14:23

men. What are the

1:14:25

lady countries? America. People are

1:14:27

saying, like, I love her?

1:14:29

Yeah. My God,

1:14:31

I need to be more on...

1:14:34

But Germany's a man. It's

1:14:36

giving... chauvinistic. It is giving chauvinistic.

1:14:38

No, you! You don't like

1:14:40

this man, you girl? Wow.

1:14:45

Wow. You know what

1:14:47

that was? What's wrong with the chicken?

1:14:49

That was conversationally, you put a carrot in

1:14:51

a box, and I grab the carrot,

1:14:53

I'm stuck in the box. You

1:14:56

really? No, because...

1:14:58

We forget that gay

1:15:01

men are men. We

1:15:04

forget this. We

1:15:06

forget this. It's

1:15:09

an important reminder all. Some of the

1:15:11

most chauvinistic things ever said to me have

1:15:13

been said by a gay man. Thank

1:15:15

you. Well, absolutely. The gay male gaze is

1:15:17

very real and it's withering. Yes,

1:15:19

thank you. Well, like a truly

1:15:21

misogynistic gay man is so much more

1:15:23

dangerous than a misogynistic straight man

1:15:25

because... truly have nothing to offer the

1:15:27

misogynistic gay man. Exactly. They've been,

1:15:29

some of the meanest people, because they're

1:15:31

like, you give me, you give

1:15:34

me nothing. You give me nothing. And

1:15:36

so you're just a face of

1:15:38

flab and wrinkles that gives me nothing.

1:15:40

I don't want to, I don't

1:15:42

want to fuck you. I just see

1:15:44

you as an imperfect canvas. It's

1:15:46

just a true story. And I think,

1:15:48

and I think that's a wonderful

1:15:50

place to say Dayenu for that, because

1:15:52

that has, we have to put

1:15:54

a stop to that. That

1:16:03

is our show. Incredible.

1:16:08

And the gay men misogyny. Incredible.

1:16:12

If I have to ask you

1:16:14

who it is, Wendy Schwartz, Fran

1:16:16

Lovett. Give it up to

1:16:18

Bennett. Give it

1:16:20

up to Bennett. Bennett. There

1:16:22
