[00:00:39]

I want to say, hey, hey, hey, hi. So I was talking the last couple of weeks about how I just don't want to be in any party anymore. I just don't like all the baggage it comes with. I just want there to be ideas and ideals.

[00:01:05]

And really, it was really interesting to watch the swath of people that co-opted this.

[00:01:13]

They posted the video of it, a clip from the podcast and CNN.

[00:01:20]

Well, why don't I just play it for you? CNN ran the clip and we'll play it to give you a little refresher.

[00:01:25]

And then they had this like Republican woman who worked for Ted Cruz.

[00:01:28]

Talk about it. So let's take a look or listen.

[00:01:32]

Silverman says the absolutist mentality with party politics has stopped America from being a nation of ideas.

[00:01:40]

It's the absolutist ness of the party I am in. That is such a turnoff to me. It's so elitist, you know, for something called progressive, it allows for zero progress, it's all or nothing, no steps toward all or nothing. Again, righteousness, porn. And I've been thinking about this a lot, just in general. I just I don't know that I want to be associated with any party. I really I think I don't want to be associated with any party anymore.

[00:02:29]

It just it comes with too much baggage. Every party, it comes with so much baggage that no ideas can be taken at face value and without ideas, what are we without a common truth?

[00:02:51]

How can we talk about it? You know, Republicans might hear an idea that they would totally agree with, but if it comes from AOC, then they hate it. And of course, you know, to be honest, when I hear an idea that comes from a Republican, it's suspect to me. We all put we all put too much on this stuff, we no longer are able to be a nation of ideas.

[00:03:23]

CNN political commentator Amanda Carpenter is with us now to discuss this. She's also a political columnist for The Bulwark and she's former communications director for Senator Ted Cruz. Amanda, I wonder what you know. What's your reaction as you listen to what Sarah Silverman said there?

[00:03:39]

I think she's exploring really tough questions. And it's important to remember who Sarah Silverman is. She is a very raunchy comedian. I was refreshing myself on some of the clips. I felt like I had to wash my computer speakers with dish soap after I was done.

[00:03:55]

That woman was very grossed out by me and the language I use, I guess, and yet not grossed out by the actions of her incredibly gross boss, Ted Cruz.

[00:04:07]

Isn't that funny? It's funny.

[00:04:09]

It's like how for some people, cilantro tastes like soap. I guess.

[00:04:14]

Anyway, it's been really interesting to see people from just the whole political spectrum using this clip of me as support of, you know, whatever they believe.

[00:04:27]

I'm tickled by people on the right using it to support ideals I will just never support.

[00:04:33]

But it's fine.

[00:04:35]

Meghan McCain posted it and Dave Rubin posted it. People were like, yes, Sarah finally took the red pill, I still I don't understand at first it bothered me like, you know, that's not what I'm saying. And then I realized that I know who gives a shit, you know?

[00:04:52]

My wholesale rejection of political parties seems to have bipartisan support, so, OK, it's just so funny how people.

[00:05:04]

Have interpreted it. Interpreted that, interpreted that, interpreted it, it interpreted it.

[00:05:14]

There you go. Like, I'm like, I'm unhappy with the far left, so I'm going to be a Republican now or a centrist and liberal as fuck.

[00:05:26]

And though I may criticize its party members, I align with the democratic socialist ideals more than any other party for sure, I just.

[00:05:36]

And I got annoyed with them as a more as a sibling than a rival, you know, I just. I think they're all or nothing approach will not yield a lot of fruit. You know, I'm just I'm saying the people that I've noticed, not the politicians really that are democratic, socialist, I'm I vote for them. I like them in general.

[00:06:01]

I'm just saying I've noticed that the people that populate the far left are sometimes arrogant dicks.

[00:06:09]

And from my view, they have. All the right ideals, but they're going about it the wrong way. I don't know, that was the absolutist piece of that. But then politicians in the party, yeah, I tend to vote for and some of my straight up heroes, Bernie.

[00:06:26]

Bernie Sanders, Young AOC. Oh, they just filled my heart.

[00:06:31]

And Bernie is a great example of someone who transcends party and whose ideas break through.

[00:06:39]

He doesn't write. He cuts close to the he definitely cuts closest to the hearts and the minds and the needs and the rights of all Americans, Americans agree on way more than our politicians pretend to reflect.

[00:06:56]

Bernie gets to the root of what appeals to all people, education for all infrastructure, health care as a right, making sure the people who are not given the same opportunities as you and I are given the same opportunities as you and I.

[00:07:12]

You and me, it's you and me, Sarah. And where does the money come from, it be paid for by having giant corporations pay taxes like the rest of us, instead of paying off politicians to make it so that they don't have to? I don't know how you can disagree with that, it's why Bernie can go to, you know, liberty you or speak, you know, or go on Fox News and be a hit because these are the benefits when you trade in truth.

[00:07:45]

And what is true?

[00:07:48]

And it was only when he got close to winning in 2016 and twenty twenty, you know, getting the presidential nomination, that the right scream socialism to scare people who don't understand the programs they covid most in their lives are socialist programs, you know, just sets people off in a tizzy.

[00:08:11]

We live in a democracy. That must be protected. But it's a democracy where there are socialist programs like Social Security and fucking roads and schools and fire departments, blah, blah, blah.

[00:08:31]

This is a great example of how tribal political parties are, this is Raj Raj told me this. And then he fact checked it, but Republicans were, of course, totally against Obamacare, even though the idea behind Obamacare is a Republican idea.

[00:08:52]

Obamacare worked with the existing private insurance companies to expand health coverage and have individual mandates, that concept is Republican.

[00:09:03]

It comes from the Heritage Foundation, which is a conservative think tank.

[00:09:08]

And they came out with the idea in the late 80s. And then in 1993, a four Republican senators, including Bob Dole. Proposed a bill that that had these ideas, and then, of course, Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts, he had Romneycare, which became Obamacare.

[00:09:34]

So Obama, a Democrat, proposes the same idea. And suddenly it's a socialist idea and it's terrible.

[00:09:42]

I mean, the right is a million times worse when it comes to not taking ideas at face value, but boy, they loved my video.

[00:09:53]

Obama took Romneycare and Bob Dole at all at Al and the Heritage Foundation's idea, and he adopted it and made it happen.

[00:10:05]

And what did the Republicans do? Well, they must have supported it, right? No. They threw a ten year shit fit, huh? So weird. I mean, what is the difference between all those Republicans with the same idea? And Obama, hmm? What could it be, what could it possibly be? But yeah, I'm annoyed with parties and the baggage their association comes with, so I'll probably just be independent. Not good with company lines, but.

[00:13:23]

So a friend of my parents forwarded this to them on on Facebook and I'm going to read the whole thing and then talk about it.

[00:13:38]

And here it is, it's it starts like this, General Eisenhower warned us it's a matter of history that when the supreme commander of the allied forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps, he ordered all possible photographs to be taken. And for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead. He did this because he said in words to this effect, get it all on record now.

[00:14:07]

Get the films, get the witnesses, because somewhere down the road of history, some bastard will get up and say, this never happened.

[00:14:15]

Effective, right?

[00:14:16]

Well, then, it says, this week the UK debated whether to remove the Holocaust from its school curriculum because it offends the Muslim population, which claims it never occurred.

[00:14:32]

Neither of those things are true. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it. So what they do, they told the they used something real, they told a lie, they put a clock on it and they made it a people's them fault, a thems fault.

[00:15:03]

It is now more than 70 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This email is being sent as a memorial chain in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 19 hundred Catholic priests who were murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated.

[00:15:24]

While many of the world looks the other way now more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be a myth, it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets. This email intended to reach 400 million people, be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world. How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center never happened?

[00:15:52]

Because it offends some Muslims.

[00:15:56]

Do not do not just delete this message. It will take only a minute to pass it along.

[00:16:02]

Remember when all classrooms had an American flag in them?

[00:16:07]

Do they even teach our children about the World Trade Center attacks in 1993 and 2001, or did it go the way of Pearl Harbor and Veterans Day?

[00:16:17]

More people to reach many schools no longer recite the Pledge of Allegiance, and many children do not know the words to our national anthem or that we even have one piece. Please do not delete this message. It will only take a minute to pass it along.

[00:16:34]

OK, so much there.

[00:16:36]

It's interesting because it's designed to trigger enough fear and horror in a large swath of people that moves them to spread a dangerous lie about a vulnerable people without even realizing it.

[00:16:51]

This is how misinformation spreads.

[00:16:54]

It gets sent to well-meaning people who read it and are horrified and are moved with an urgency to send it to everyone they know, it's real interesting and quite horrifying to see first hand.

[00:17:11]

How well-meaning innocent people are used to spread disinformation. And we know that there is massive Holocaust denial among all kinds of people and that it's allowed to spread like wildfire via Facebook and YouTube.

[00:17:31]

But. Be suspicious of anything presented as factual that also treats an entire ethnicity, in this case Muslims. As a monolith, as one thing, and uses an example of an atrocity committed by people of that ethnicity to define everyone of that ethnicity.

[00:17:59]

You know, it'd be like taking Weinstein and Epstein as evidence that Jews are rapists. They take true real life horrors like the Holocaust. And all the people who died, you know, and they they get beyond jus they, you know, the Catholics and the Russians and and they use it to motivate you to.

[00:18:23]

Fairly unwittingly spread lies that stir up the same. Nationalism and scapegoat ism that created the Holocaust, that creates genocides, it's not unironic. This is not facing history and ourselves. This is not a never forget. Although the first part, the Eisenhower stuff. That is, you know, and that's how they hook you in. And if that doesn't work on you, no problem, they throw in a bunch of nationalist triggers there in the end, if that's what gets you.

[00:19:03]

They don't even say the Pledge of Allegiance anymore. Can you believe it? Can you believe we don't have a children pledge their loyalty to our flag anymore and it's all because of Muslims?

[00:19:15]

It's dangerous shit and that taking the Holocaust out of the curriculum in England is is just a fabricated it's I Snopes it's made up to.

[00:19:30]

To perpetuate this. This grave misinformation. Spreads like wildfire every day, people are like. What happened to my parents? They were like great loving people and now they're Fox News zombie mega heads.

[00:19:50]

Well. Facebook allows the spread of misinformation, often Holocaust denial. Sure, but here they use the same Holocaust denial. The site helps spread Facebook, YouTube to incite fear because fear makes you malleable. It makes you do things you may be normally wouldn't if you had the time to think critically. But there's no time they put a clock on it.

[00:20:16]

These things give a sense of emergency, of urgency. We've got to make sure people know send this to everyone you know, and that's how people spread hatred. You do it for them. Because you've been given a shot of adrenaline and fear that makes you too blind to see that you have become a delivery system for Islamophobia.

[00:20:42]

Boom. That wasn't the funnest, but let's take some voicemails and have some fun, baby, you left me a message, Delaplane. Let's hear some voice.

[00:21:03]

Hey, Sarah, I'm also Sarah and I'm pregnant and very hormonal and find myself crying over the stupidest shit. And I was just listening to your podcast. And so I wonder, when was the last time that you cried and what was the reason for it? Thanks. Love you. So very much like. Last time I cry, I cried, I don't cry much, but I'm not saying I'm proud of, but I'm just on Zoloft. But I cried twice this week.

[00:21:48]

Excuse me, I burped, I'm embarrassed.

[00:21:53]

Yeah, I cried twice this week, the first time was I got vaccinated on Thursday, I didn't expect to I wasn't eligible until Monday this week for my ASBA, but I had signed up a few places to get ahead of it.

[00:22:16]

You know, just on you know, I just was honest, obviously.

[00:22:19]

And one of the places had extra ones. And I woke up to a text saying, if you can get here before one, you might be able to get one of the extra vaccine.

[00:22:29]

So I raced out, waited in line for about 90 minutes. It was lovely. It was fine.

[00:22:38]

It was in a big jim. With basketball hoops and I it made me miss playing basketball and I got it, I got a FISA. And everyone was so nice. And they put the shot in my arm, and as I got up to leave, I burst into fucking tears.

[00:23:04]

Oh, I think I just was so, like, relieved and moved and all of a sudden it just felt like it had been a really long year and it was also had it was exactly one year.

[00:23:17]

March 12th from the last time I ever saw Adam Schlesinger, who was my who I wrote this musical with.

[00:23:28]

Before he passed away from covid April 1st. So I think it just all came to a head of happiness and sadness and relief and mourning, and then the other time I cried this week was American Idol. No explanation, no explanation needed. It's so fucking good, it really is.

[00:24:00]

I you know, I don't know if it's this season because I haven't watched it in a while, but, yeah, it's a singing competition, but. It really is such they they do these portraits of of really every part of America and.

[00:24:18]

I think it's really special in that way, you see kind of these people from every walk of life in every part of America. And what brings them all together is they sing, you know, but you really get a glimpse if they really do kind of show a whole portrait of people's lives and it's great.

[00:24:40]

And the judges are so nice. And you don't miss that Simon Cowell meanness. You don't miss it at all.

[00:24:48]

It's so entertaining. And frickin Lionel Richie's advice is so good and kind and beautiful, just like beautiful American stories.

[00:24:59]

It's good. I know I'm doing an ad for American Idol, but I again, I do not cry easily, you know.

[00:25:04]

I mean, I so. You know, I just I'm I take Zoloft and it makes it so I don't cry very easily, among other things that are the reasons I take it, but I just don't always cry. And I mean, I've had friends commit suicide and I didn't cry, but God damn it, that American Idol gets me every time. All right. What else?

[00:25:30]

Hi, Sarah. This is Erica from Finland. I was just wondering why you haven't used the word myriad of episodes.

[00:25:40]

I thought you had like a plan to be incorporated and incorporated in every episode, but I haven't heard it in a while. So what's up with that?

[00:25:52]

I mean, I don't think I was I think I had a you know, when you I didn't learn a new I always knew Myriad because my mom drilled it in my head the proper way to use it.

[00:26:04]

But I have been using it a lot.

[00:26:06]

But lately I've been saying swaths of people a lot. You notice their ad. I don't know if it's relevant. It comes up well.

[00:26:16]

I noticed that lately I've been seeing swaths large swaths of people.

[00:26:21]

But I was saying myriad. I don't know. I'm sure I'll say it again. I'm sure I'll have myriad reasons to say it again.

[00:26:30]

What else, what else? Greetings and. Greetings. I don't want to take up too much of your time, but I seem to be facing an existential crisis of epic proportions. The bottom line is, I think is I don't want to live, but I don't want to die. So I feel kind of screwed, basically. I mean, I just I just my life is just utterly devoid of passion or purpose. I've got no job, no career, no friends and a wife.

[00:27:04]

No future, nothing. And I you know, I've got no one to talk to, no one to turn to. I just feel completely overwhelmed. And I I don't know what to do. I don't I don't think I have the stones to just bag it. And but the thing is, that's the solution that makes the most sense. There's no real purpose to carrying on. So I don't know I don't know what I'm expecting you or anybody else, you know, I mean, I'm the only one who can do anything about it.

[00:27:36]

But I just like I said, I just have no one to talk to about this. And I don't know, maybe. I don't know. I don't know what I'm looking for. I can't even think of the words now. So thank you for your time. Have you thought about being an Internet troll? It's not funny. You know, I remember being depressed and my mom said something, she said, sometimes just existing is the bravest thing you can do.

[00:28:10]

Just get by, you know. But I don't know I don't know enough about this guy to give advice. You know, it's sad. And I if maybe there are things I don't know that change this, but if you take out the misery element.

[00:28:31]

There's a self obsession there, you know, I don't have this, I don't have that, I, me, me, me, me, me, I'm not trying to say you can't have feelings because there are starving children in China or.

[00:28:43]

You know, I'm just saying, if you take out the misery aspect. You know. It's it's very Loston self, and maybe that's a solution, maybe you need to get out of yourself, you know?

[00:29:03]

And I say, I would say, go somewhere, go explore, have an adventure, but, you know, of course, anywhere you go, there you are.

[00:29:10]

I think that's the book, right? He sounds emotionally paralyzed, and I'm not a therapist, I am only a person. And if I had a little more information, I would pitch pitch some ideas to him, you know? I mean, you got access to the Internet. This sounds like this may sound cheesy, but it sounds like a good opportunity for group therapy, you can access group therapy online.

[00:29:41]

You know, you're feeling isolated and alone, there are a lot of people who feel this way, which means you are not alone. That's proof, I promise. And you know, that camaraderie of knowing you're not alone, maybe that could help.

[00:30:00]

So, like, I don't know, I'm pulling this out of my ass, but like some kind of group therapy could be something to connect to.

[00:30:11]

I know this is how people join hate groups, you know, in an unconscious search for community, but also how people join a local choir or a community theater or working for a political candidate you believe in or volunteering for Habitat for Humanity.

[00:30:30]

These things can give you not just community, but it's a way to get outside of yourself.

[00:30:39]

Sometimes it just comes down to knowing the search words to type in, so, I mean, maybe start with like group therapy, comma, zoom or something.

[00:30:51]

And boy, I understand that that desire for surrender. I know the fantasy is born from depression, you know, not just suicide or death, but even just weird.

[00:31:08]

Hospital fantasy is like if I was just in the hospital and I couldn't make any choices for myself and everything had to be done for me, and of course you don't want that in real life.

[00:31:19]

You want to be well and have health. But it's it's a weird.

[00:31:25]

Depression, fantasy stuff for people who served time for a long time in prison, who get out, sometimes they.

[00:31:34]

The having choices in life is overwhelming, and they end up going back almost, you know, when we talked to Eric, he was talking about it, just that desire to just go back to serve three meals and a bed and have no choices made no choice.

[00:31:52]

All your choices, all your all decisions made for you.

[00:31:55]

Something about that surrender, that desire for surrender is really linked to depression, I think.

[00:32:01]

And, you know, I have this, like, fainting thing. I faint sometimes only just because I have low blood pressure.

[00:32:09]

And I know when it's coming on because I get, like, nauseous before it in a specific kind of way and when it happens, when I faint. I have to admit, and it's not like I bring it on, I don't want it to happen, it's horribly embarrassing if it's in public, you know, and and scary.

[00:32:28]

But the actual physical feeling is. Euphoric. It's like total euphoria. This complete. This total feeling of being devoid of any control, it's it feels euphoric somehow, probably, maybe it's like what heroin feels like don't do heroin, though.

[00:32:53]

You even coming out of a fainting spell feels like euphoric or even like when I stand up a lot of times, if I stand up fast and I know this happens to a lot of people, everything goes black, you know, and you have to kind of hold on to something.

[00:33:09]

And in those moments where my eyes are open wide but everything's black and it slowly comes, you know, the world comes back into focus, that feels euphoric.

[00:33:20]

I don't I don't know how else to explain it, I don't want it to happen, but it. It happens anyway, I digress. But, yeah, it's scary to make your own choices, even though that's what we fight for. You know, it's interesting, whole generations didn't.

[00:33:38]

My parents didn't. They didn't make choices. They did what was expected of them. They got married.

[00:33:45]

My mom was 19. My dad was 23.

[00:33:48]

Well, they had no business getting married, but that's what is expected of them. They get they got married and they had kids and they did what they were thought that they were supposed to do. They they they all any decision they made was out of fear of not being normal. Scary to make your own decisions. But it's really the best way to live if you can be brave enough to just exist.

Hi, Sarah. I am really enjoying the show and I am also a big fan of Columbo. I was thinking today that Mark Ruffalo would be a great person to play Columbo. I really thought that were your thoughts.

[00:37:19]

Thanks. I mean, if they did like an exact like we want to just remake Columbo. Yeah, Mark Gruffalo would be incredible. And he's that same kind of actors. Peter Falk, just so in the moment. Organic, real. Quirky, you know, I mean, yeah, he and he looks like, you know, he'd be incredible, but, you know, my friend Lizz Winstead, she had the greatest idea.

[00:37:48]

When we're talking about Columbo, she's like they should remake Columbo with, like Pamela Adlon or Natasha Leone. I mean, both of them.

[00:37:55]

When I think about it, I go, oh, my God, they like they could embody that so well and be so funny.

[00:38:04]

Yeah, even though I do the best quilombo impression excuse me, ma'am. From inside my head, it feels like it's a really good impression. Excuse me, ma'am, one more thing, but I always feel like I can do a good impression of them.

[00:38:22]

But if I saw my face, then I know it's not but inside my face, like I do with dinero. You're not going to believe this. I do a De Niro. What a unique impression. I don't do it. But in my when I'm home, I do it. And I think it's like I must look exactly like De Niro.

[00:38:40]

I guess it's visual for people who are watching on YouTube. That's my Deianeira. But then when I just looked, I saw myself in the monitor doing it, it was it didn't really look like De Niro. All right. What else we got?

[00:38:56]

Hi, Sarah. I love you. You're my hero. I just wanted to let you know that I still listen to a comedy bang bang that you were on with Harris Wittels and Ben Schwartz for like 15 years ago all the time. Anyway, I heard that you advertised for Blu two, and it just got me wondering why there aren't products like this for women. I would use it. I mean, I have a boyfriend. I love having sex with him, but like, I don't have as high of a sex drive or I don't know anyway.

[00:39:31]

Why is it that women are not. Also getting these types of products marketed to them or their words, the science on it, anyway, love you. Thank you. By. I'm sorry, it's a good question, I'm just. Is she calling from an actual bird's nest?

[00:39:52]

Well, like eight different kinds of birds there. Are you in ornithologist? Yeah, that's a good question, it's true, I'd love to try something like that, like a blue choo Viagra, Cialis acquittal equivalent and they do have a couple products, but they're bullshit and they suck.

[00:40:19]

I mean, I like sex, I'm still I'm at an age for women where you love sex, but I think it's right before the age where you don't.

[00:40:29]

But I love it.

[00:40:34]

But yeah, I mean, a lot of women need that. But of course, science isn't going to make it why? Why, because men need it, because they need to be erect to fuck you, but you don't have to be turned on for them to fuck you.

[00:40:53]

I think that's the large. Large and short of it, is that how you say that that's the long and short of it, the long and short of it? Yeah. Wow.

[00:41:06]

I mean, it really is true. I would love something that made like my clitoris go bananas, why not? And there are women that really need it, you know. But they don't give up. It's I mean, it truly is such a good example of how embedded misogyny is or just the supremacy of of males, there's this Jeff Ross joke that is so brilliant about it, which I'm going to murder right now.

[00:41:38]

But it's basically like, you know, women have been dying from breast cancer for decades and decades and decades.

[00:41:45]

And but, like, if blowjob cancer became a thing, it would be like, you know, reports of blowjob cancers sweeping the nation.

[00:41:54]

This just in. There's been a cure for blowjob cancer. Yeah, why is this a case, because, again, a woman who is not turned on can still get fucked in. Guys without an erection can't fuck. And so they. They matter more. What else? Hey, Sarah, I just listened to your latest podcast and you had that Koula Miles call in saying how he finds, you know, some of the things you say quite gross.

[00:42:29]

And and you commented by saying that, you know, you don't find them gross, that maybe you're detached from it and you just you don't see them as gross. And I think I was listening to the Conan O'Brien's podcast, Conan Needs a Friend. I think where he was chatting to Nick Crowe and they were chatting about this, how Jews have guilt, but we don't have much shame. And I think, you know, we grow up and we we talk about a lot of things.

[00:42:57]

And I'm Jewish, by the way, as well. We talk about a lot of things. And so I think we don't have much shame around, you know, our bodies and around the way our bodies work. And, you know, I don't know whether Miles is or isn't Jewish, but I think all the time that's possibly why some people find these things gross and we don't because we just have spoken about it all and it's nothing to be embarrassed about.

[00:43:21]

And yes, we're just wanting to know your take on that. If you agree, disagree, whatever. Thanks. My name's Kylie, by the way, by.

[00:43:32]

Thanks, Curly. Kylie. That's really interesting. And I guess what she said, Nick Kroll said that on Conan The. Jews have guilt, but they don't have stuff around shame, you know, like. That's so true. You know, I just I grew up in a household where language wasn't, you know, nothing was taboo. Like we could talk about we could use language, any language and express ourselves as we saw fit.

[00:44:04]

And, you know, even back then just.

[00:44:09]

Talked about body parts, sexuality, um, these these things weren't taboo, and so when I went out into the world and started doing comedy, it was like, wow, she'll talk about anything or she's blue.

[00:44:24]

And to be totally honest, it was surprising to me because it really was how I was raised.

[00:44:30]

I mean, of course, I knew not to, like, swear in school or did I tell this story about that Adam Sandler told about his mom? Oh, I did. On that wall to say his mom was my nursery school teacher. Can you believe it? Like just this handful of Jews from New Hampshire.

[00:44:49]

And she was my nursery school teacher.

[00:44:51]

And she tells a story, I guess, where a little girl swore and she was explaining to the little girl, like, you can't say that and everything. And she said, I overheard.

[00:45:01]

And I leaned in and I said, those are at home words. So I mean, yeah, I knew what were at home words, but at home there was really no taboo.

[00:45:12]

Words, which was clearly not how the woman on CNN who works for Ted Cruz was raised. I just didn't grow up repressed in that way.

[00:45:24]

You know, I had a shrink who is Catholic. And I asked her because she talked about Catholic guilt.

[00:45:31]

And I said, what is the difference between Jewish guilt and Catholic guilt, which sounds like the setup of a joke. But, you know, she said, is it you?

[00:45:40]

Jewish guilt is famous. You know, we talk about it, we express ourselves, we get it out. So it's famous, but Catholic guilt is bottomless and repressed and starts at birth.

[00:45:59]

And I was like, wow, you know, you can repress that shit, but it comes out in other ways. Hi, Sarah. My name's Rachel. And I was wondering if you thought or what your thoughts are on making it mandatory to not speak about politics when I find out someone's a Republican. I'm embarrassed to say this, but I do, judge, if you're going to support this man, I don't know how to vibe with you. So my healer, the other week, I found that she was Republican.

[00:46:32]

She reiki healing. I can I can't do that anymore now. So my chiropractor yesterday, he was in the next room talking about the current administration and how we're all screwed. So we never used to hear what people's political parties were and you just got to know people in a different way now. For me, it puts up a wall. How can you support this man? That's so horrible. Give me two things he's done. That's amazing.

[00:47:02]

And maybe I'll listen to the president.

[00:47:05]

And my point is, let's make a public service announcement or something. Don't talk about it because I want to get to know you. Thanks, Sarah, your amazing. Where does this woman live? Her wellness gurus are mega heads. I mean, that's going to be a really red state, her Reiki healer.

[00:47:32]

Is a mega ahead. That's funny. Well, that's the show that I'm winding down and and I'm wrapping it up, and there you go, another show. Can you believe it goes by so fast on? Well, I guess I'll talk to you next week and of course, subscribe, raid and review wherever you listen to podcasts, if you are so inclined and check us out on YouTube if you like, watching it with your eyeholes, you can do it that way.
