We don't have a theme song yet, what's this? Hello, welcome to the Sarah Silverman podcast. Sarah Silverman podcast. And you are tuning in, this is just another day you recognize that music, that music means the Sarah Silverman podcast. Let's talk about politics, pop culture. My life, your life, what? Why am I jogging in place, huh? What's going on? Well, there's an update with my. Boyfriend, Rory, have I said his name, I asked him last night.

Can I say your name? And I thought maybe I had said his name. I don't even remember, but usually get whatever you want, you know, it's your thing.

But, yeah, my boyfriend Rory update from last time or whenever he slept over first sleepover Saturday we had had.

A wonderful session of. Hardcore sex. And, you know, he has to remind me, it's like afterwards I'm like filled with energy and, you know, he's lost an immense amount of fluids.

So he he's just limp, you know, and I still I go, you know, he leaves, I you know, but this time I go, I was so nervous.

I don't know what's wrong with me. And obviously I'm not, obviously, but I really am examining it and trying to understand why I'm so stuck with this.

But I was just so nervous starting a precedent of him sleeping over.

But I go, oh, you want to just sleep over? And he goes, Oh my God, yeah. Thank you. You know, he was like his body was limp.

It's like he turns into a dying man, you know.

Post-Coital, it's cute and.

He even was like, I won't I won't think that this is like how it will be now, it's like, Oh, thank you.

And it went great. It really did. He he slept hard and quiet and on his side. And I was so grateful and I still did the things I love to do at night when I'm alone, I I went into the bathroom, I listened to some Howard Stern, I washed my face.

I put on several creams.

I meandered into the the kitchen and made a big, fat, delicious bowl of grape nuts with oat milk and a couple of drops of this stuff.

It's Monck fruit extract.

It tastes like sugar. It's incredible.

Two drops of that in there. And I just love it every bit. I got goddammit, it's just grape nuts, but it's so good.

This isn't even an ad, but really grape nuts should probably get a piece of this, you know, or.

I guess why did the guy just give them the milk for free, but. Man, it's just so good, just simple, and then I, you know, of course, flossed and brush my teeth thoroughly, tongue scraped, don't visualize it.

It's disgusting.

I would never do it with another person's watching. But it's a key, key point of oral hygiene. And I can talk more about it later. Obviously, you know, I'm passionate about flossing and brushing and that death creeps in through the gums.

Then I go back into bed and he's just sound asleep on his side.

I turn on the TV, I watch an entire law and order. Sound asleep. And if I woke up, fine, but just the fact that he wasn't bothered by it at all and put on my night shades, you know, like I feel like when my night shades or is that what it's called? Face mask or whatever, I mask.

I put him on tight. You know, I like tighten the band and it's it's like tight and it's like my my body just goes up.

It's time to go to sleep. It's pretty cool.

So I watched Law and Order noodling on the phone. Then I went to sleep and I'm cold at night. So I had to I put in also and my night with a little mini ice ice cream, Ben and Jerry's.

I don't know why that was so funny to me. It's probably obnoxious, I feel like when comics laugh at themselves, it's some comics get away with it. I find it off putting when I hear myself do it. But I do end my night with a little. They make these little singles serving a Ben and Jerry's.

I have ice cream, cookie dough, ice cream, got every bite again, every bite.

I'm just like, I can't even believe my luck.

It is this taste in my mouth brings me such joy. Oh, but then that's before I brushed and flossed and everything. Sorry.

Then I'm going to sleep. And I get oh, this is why I say that, because usually when I get my ice cream is when I microwave my heating pad and then like my body's cold from the ice cream.

Boop, boop, boop. Ready with my heating pad. So then I'm like in bed and I am just so cold, I'm in a full house, I'm in sweatpants and a shirt and a sweatshirt and these cashmere socks that are just so threadbare, but they're perfect.

And my heating pad, he's still just on his side.

It was something I mentioned when I said, do you want to sleep over?

I go. I'm crazy about you and I love cuddling with you, but I need you to be on your side and he's like, I understand, he's so kind.

So then I'm I'm cold and I love my heating pad and I'm in the covers and everything and I go to sleep.

And the reason why I need him to stay on his side is that about midway through the night, it goes the opposite. I'm so hot. I just I can't get enough air.

And if he's touching me at all, like at one point our feet were touching and I go, oh, this is sweet. But I was like, I can't.

It's too hot. Anyway, I went through my whole process, which is interesting, because it doesn't sound that delightful in a lot of ways, but it's what I know. Hmm.

Look into that, Sarah. Maybe. And I put my night garden and, you know, he was already sleeping, he wouldn't care. By the way, this is a good man, but I know no, I don't want to.

And I want them. I want to keep this romantic.

I don't want him to be used to me and of a lower teeth night guard.

You know, I put I put my night guard in and and then I woke up, you know, this sounds like the 50s where the woman gets up and puts a full face of makeup on and then gets back into bed. And so that when her.

No, but I did wake up naturally a little earlier than him took her Guardo you.

Yeah. So I got through that scot free. I'm such a twat.

I really need things just the way I like them. And I talked last time about how kind he is about all of my things.

So I have three pillows and he has two pillows, but one is just like on the corner of his head.

And goddammit, I want that fourth pillow for between my knees and my ankles. I need it. I need it. And I just, like, gingerly pull the pillow from under his sweet, sweet head, and I got it for pillows. For pillows for Silverman. And poor Rory, but he was happy, he needs less things, he has less things, you know, so that was a great success.

Not only that, I mean, you know, up until now I've been like, listen, when we hang out, I'm good for a good four hours, but then I need to be alone. That's a solid hang. But we he slept over and then we spent the whole day the next day together. And it was good, I didn't feel crowded, I, I it was great and to be honest, when he left Sunday night, I could have a I could have been with him even more.

But I was glad he left because I just don't want to get used to it. Or dependent on it because. That didn't go well for me way back when, and I might have hang ups about it, but, you know, I'm looking into it.

All right, here's the thing about home security companies. Most trap you with high prices, tricky contracts and lousy customer support. So while there are a lot of options out there, there's only one no brainer simply safe. And, you know, I'm looking at it. It's spelled with an eye, simply with an eye, simply safe. I don't know who owns simply with the wide safe, but they stink.

Simply saves. Got everything you need to protect your home. With none of the drawbacks of traditional home security, it's got an arsenal of sensors and cameras to blanket every room, window and door tailored specifically to your home. Professional monitoring keeps watch day and night ready to send police, fire or medical professionals if there is an emergency.

Ah, sleep well knowing you've got simply safe. Look, you can set it up yourself in under an hour. It's so easy. Just peel and stick the sensors exactly where you need them. No technician required. There's no contract. There's no pushy sales guys, no hidden fees, no fine print. It just is what it is.

And all of this starts at fifteen dollars a month. I think your safety is worth fifteen dollars a month.

People are trying to murder you. They want to steal your DVDs, I'm not the only one who thinks simply safe is great. U.S. News and World Report named it the best overall home security of twenty twenty. That should that should sell this for you. I mean, these people are not beholden to push anything.

I am a little more beholden. This is an advertiser on my show, but I happen to think they're great.

So if you go to simply safe Dotcom Silverman and remember, that simply is simply I don't feel like in their their print here that they gave me, they they should mention that. I think you should know it's simply safe. Dotcom Silverman and that lets them know you're a listener and they're going to give you a free HD camera and that's how they know that.

I sent you simply safe dotcom slash Silverman.

Should we take should we listen to voicemail's? Hello, Sarah Silverman, this is John from Canada, and last night I did a demo and it was unbelievably ridiculous. So if you haven't tried one, I'm not telling you to because that's your choice. But personally, it is an A-1 experience. You have yourself a wonderful day.

Is it a to? I tried Admati. I would have to say that it was like I tried DMT, I tried ayahuasca, I tried acid. Maybe he is correct, feels odd to my ears, but. What is D.M.. Can we Google it? It damn t is, oh, DMT is from plants. It's natural, I wouldn't have thought D.M. Te. Is natural, that's all right, I'm intrigued. It's. Crystalline crystalline crystalline powder that is derived from certain plants found in Mexico, South America, parts of Asia, so you can smoke it.

You can vape it, you can consume it orally, I mean, I bet you could probably consume it only. Um. I would smoke, so if you smoke it, if you eat it or drink it, it's like four to six hours. If you smoke it, it's like 45 minutes max that I would definitely want to try.

I mean, I I'm very because I think it you it's a it's a hallucinogenic. And I've learned. Life altering lessons. When I was from acid, mushrooms and ecstasy, which is not from plants, I don't know, maybe ultimately everything is but ecstasy was changed my life, but also probably gave me back problems.

So DMT, I'd be interested in that, doesn't give you back problems or make me go extra bananas, but.

It's got some really good nicknames to. It's called people call it a businessman's trip, a businessman's trip. He said that as a Jewish last name businessman. Spiderman. Superman, is that Jewish? Spirit molecule, it's called Sunset's, it found naturally in plants and and animals.

I'd like to get more specific about that. I'd like to try DMT. Maybe I'll learn more about it. That sounds interesting.

Interesting. Interesting. Is it interesting or is it interesting?

I'll tell you about ecstasy. Well, I did acid, which is crazy. I mean, I could have, like, something could have gone terribly wrong, but I know that I didn't think about it.

Did acid. I did.

You know, but I haven't done any of these in a really long time. And I remember flying from New York to L.A. and there was a Newsweek story about ecstasy.

It wasn't like to scary. It was just all the facts about ecstasy.

And I never did it again because it really what it does is the great part about it is it surges your brain was serotonin, which is the stuff that makes you like super be able to deal and euphoria and happiness and like hope and everything good.

But then it depletes it.

It's like a tide, you know, or something, so that sucks in it, it can really feed into clinical depression. But that's what Zoloft is for and therapy anyway. I'm really at and probably focus on.

But I did have really good experiences with ecstasy, and one I really remember is I had this boyfriend, Sam Ceder. And every time he would try to.

Communicate kindly with me about his problems with me in our relationship, things that bugged him or hurt him that I did in our relationship, I would shut down, get defensive, leave the room.

And then we did Ecstasy, which was developed originally in Dallas for couples therapy and was wildly effective, and I'm sure still is. But it was made illegal because people used it recreationally. God forbid so.

We took ecstasy in his dad's apartment. His dad was not home and. And it's incredible and fun and and all the things sensory and all those things that it says, but he he brought up the things again, the stuff that was bothering him that I did in that in our relationship.

And I didn't get defensive and I didn't storm out of the room and I didn't make it about me and or ego, I just really hurt him, really heard what he was saying.

And it's not the kind of thing that you wake up the next day and go, oh, God, what was I thinking? Or you don't you totally remember it. And it it changed me. It changed the course of my life. Because I was able to really hear people. It's and it helps in relationship, you know, it was just I think that a lot of really positive things about it. I know I haven't tried Molly, which is like the new form and it's pure and it's different.

But I've hung out with people on Molly and it didn't it didn't look like the same experience.

So I don't know. All right. Anything else? Hey there, sir, this is great pride again, but this is a bumblebee on Twitter, I'm just another quick that I think it would be a good idea that we stop censoring images of people dying from covid. And I say this because unfortunately, I you know, even though we are a civilized country where we don't show that kind of stuff, that kind of ghar that kind of imagery, that that breaks people's minds.

And it does. I mean, there's a reason why we don't show that stuff. It hurts people. But I think that there's just a plenty of people that don't want to believe that it's happening. And if if it doesn't happen to them, they will simply live in a constant state of denial. And that's that's why I think that some more of this stuff needs to be shown so that people can really have a real apprehension of what the bodies and the gore of it and watching someone lose their ability to breathe.

Looks like because I don't know how else to get people to care. It's it's unbelievable. And I think it also needs to be drilled home to young people that the notion that their elders would do anything, anything for them to help them survive and grow and thrive would then their parents and grandparents would give anything. They would run in front of a car to push their own kid or grand kid out of the way. And it's now it's their turn to do something very simple to help their elders, you know, survive.

And it's disgusting that we have all become so selfish and so pampered, beyond pampered, beyond our ability to to to care about anything anymore. Anyway, those are two other thoughts I just want to share. So the notion that people see I think people need to see bodies, it's terrible, but I think they do. All right. Take care. Take care.

Have a great day. Uh, I agree. I think I mean, it's it's so that was a really long message.

And I had so much to say all the way through.

And I don't know if I'll remember it, but it's he's right, you know.

And I know that I've fundamentally been changed by. What I've had access to seeing on the Internet, certainly. Regarding race, certainly, I mean, I always knew there was racism, but. To the degree that it is.

You know, unarmed black teenagers being murdered by cops as often as it happens, that's that fully changed me in the past, you know, 10 years or however long we've had the Internet and video and all that stuff, that exposure.

Has shown me. This world we live in a lot more, certainly it's maybe curated, and I think depending on who you follow and what your politics are, it's heavily curated to.

Be what you believe, and that's why on one hand, I think you're right, people need to see. People not being able to breathe, suffocating to death and saying goodbye to their loved ones on a screen. That said. The people that we want to reach, who aren't wearing masks, who aren't believing this, who are.

They they're not going to hear it because their leader has told them to not trust their ears and to not trust their eyes and that anything that doesn't come directly from him is fake news.

And that's that's what a cult is. That's what this is. It's a far reaching cult.

And, you know, I mean, that's what Scientology tells their members, don't don't Google us, don't look, don't read anything on the Internet about Scientology and they listen.

Because this is this is what they believe in and who they trust and the. They've built an entire belief system, a whole house of cards on this they can't survival, their survival depends on.

Not changing their minds or opening their minds or, you know, when when a leader says, don't listen to any other ideas or thoughts and don't trust your ears and eyes.

That should be a red flag, but the vulnerable people to susceptible to this kind of groupthink, and I'm not saying that the left is not susceptible to groupthink because of course, they are.

But this is like real zombie shit, and I don't know that they just won't believe it. They won't believe their eyes. I don't think anything's going to change their minds. Does that mean give up, throw your hands up? I mean, no. And. You know, maybe it will reach one person, you know, I don't know. It's an interesting. Thing to bring up, we brought this on ourselves, you know, America is about me and money and success is how much money you have, no matter how you got it.

And stuff and things. And is far less about. Taking care of people. I loved there is a Sanders like Bernie Sanders meme where he's in a car and he says, get in, we're going to. Something like we're going to help people we don't know or something, it was better than that, but it was so beautiful. And to me, that's what democratic socialism is about, what Dimmock what Democrats used to be about. And it's about.

Taking care of each other in this country for people who go America, number one. All right, let's take care of each other. That that that to people that. Takes away from. Their stuff is just beyond me. My sister, the rabbi's sister, she would say, what are you willing to give up for the well-being of others?

And it's like, you have to answer it honestly. But that's the question. It's a major sacrifice. But, you know. But just fucking chip in. Trust me, it feels good, like in Jewish, you give 10 percent of what you make every year to charity.

It's part of tikkun olam, you know, to heal the world, whatever the fuck. And I I'm not religious. I'm godless. But this is I believe this. I do this.

And the idea in Jewish is it doesn't matter if you do it screaming and crying if you don't want to do it, but you do it if you're if your heart isn't there, it isn't in the right place. You fucking hate it, but you do. It doesn't matter. Fine. The money goes to people who need it. My dad would say, you know, when people ask for money on the street and some people go, they'll just spend it on drugs.

You know, my dad's just like. Who cares? None of your business, they need it, they need it more than you. So always just go like. How is my life changed if I keep this 20 dollar bill? I was their life changed.

And you might be the person who needs it, so then you go, yeah, I need it, I don't know, I'm not making a point. I'm just is my mouth still moving?

Let's take another listen to another voicemail. Hey, Sarah, this is Matt, we actually show the same birthday. I don't think it's the same year, but it's the same birthday. And I just want to say that I think you're gorgeous and hilarious and witty and you're actually my celebrity hall pass. So what a.

I'm going to say something. This is going to sound really cocky. Probably 200 people in my life have said I'm their celebrity hall, the pass, and I only point that out because. I'm not like a blonde model in a bikini. I'm like a juy. Woman. It's nice, I think people like real people ultimately. I don't know. Thank you for that. Should I fuck him? You know, this is really big and and, you know, who knows what the future will bring?

I don't know. I'm on the edge of my seat, but I did buy a house and I'm going to live in it.

I'm going to live in a house. I've never lived in a house in my adult life. I grew up in New Hampshire and I grew up in a house. I mean, in New Hampshire. We didn't even lock the doors, not even a night. It was just it was different. But now I'm going to live in a house.

And I've been really nervous about that.

You know, I've always lived in an apartment. I mean, I share my washer dryer with the floor, you know, in the hallway.

So now I'm going to have a house. And, you know, that sounds very luxurious, but it is weird. There are a lot of conveniences that don't come with it. You know, I'm used to just dumping my trash know, down a chute in a hallway.

Now I'm like, oh, my God, I've got to take out garbage cans, get them down this steep hill of a driveway full and then pull them back up. You know, I lost sleep thinking about that.

And then Rory's like, listen, you're you'll figure it out. You're a grown woman. You know how to do life.

And he's right. There's no way that I'm not going to figure it out. And that will be the thing that ends me. And I had to give an emergency contact and I made him my emergency contact.

So that's the end of that story. It's big news. I mean, he was one of three. I'm going to be honest, but the other two are my good friends that are neighbors on either side of me, but I yeah, I feel safe with him that that's the thing.

Right.

And he said the same thing about me, which is hilarious because he's he is not safe with me, but he is. I'll guard his heart, that was a big batcheller term a few years ago, guard his heart in zero, just laughing.

All right, RBG died. This is not new news. She really. I know I don't know her, but I know she really tried to hang in there for all of us, for democracy itself, literally. She just couldn't make it. She came so close. But Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a Jewish icon. And that's exciting. It's exciting when. Someone in American history is a Jewish woman. It isn't rare.

But it's rare in famousness in tot talk about edness, so it's exciting that she's like a.

A kind of a she became a pop icon in her lifetime, and she doesn't give a fuck, but it's cool. And she really is she's a big part of our history, certainly for women, for men. And there I am being very binary again, but I caught myself with. And she got to see a movie about herself that's cool, you know, Kate McKinnon played her it was hilarious playing run on Saturday Night Live and. They did a whole movie about her life called.

On the basis of sex. That's that's a well, boy, now I'm just going to get started because, you know, and nothing against brilliant actress British actress Felicity Jones or lovely actor Armie Hammer.

But there was not a Jew to be seen in front of the screen.

In the Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Marty Ginsburg story, and I don't mean to get into, like identity politics or any of that stuff, acting is acting.

That's what's beautiful about acting. But patterns emerge and this is what I see. Jewish women. Jewish actors that are women, especially Jew, we. Actors that are women now we're getting personal. They don't get. Forget all the roles like any role. But even a Jewish woman role, a Jewish woman role. You will not see a Jewish woman play her if it's a character. That is courageous or a character that deserves love. Give me an example, prove me wrong, I want to be.

But let me give you some let me let me give you some examples, because how many times do you even have a Jewish woman role? I'll tell you what Jewish actresses get to play.

You get to play the bitchy or sassy friend, the friend of the main beautiful woman who you know, and then your lines are like the exposition like, but you're a lawyer and he he loves you and, you know.

Or you get to play the country girlfriend before the guy realizes what love can be.

That's also an option for a Jewish actress or you play that guy's book agent. But if if the character deserves love or is brave or good or righteous.

You'll be played by Felicity Jones. Or the woman who plays Miss Masel. Or or Golda Meir. Was played by a Swedish woman. Ingrid Bergman, who Bergman four years I go, there's a Jew, at least, who played a Jewish hero. Now she's Swedish. Jojo Rabbit, which I have so many emotions about because. I loved it, but I also feel rage about it, and then I also kind of concede that some of that rage may be jealousy because it really was phenomenal.

But it's like they found a way to make a movie about the Holocaust with none of those pesky Jews in it. When none of those off putting Jews in it. I mean, even the Jew in the wall was played by an actress named McKenzie. You know, it's not none of these, you know, Bella Abzug, played by Margo Martindale, Betty Friedan played by Tracey Ullman, who is for both of them phenomenal actors who listen, none of these people I have beef with, I'm a huge fan of all of them.

And individually, there's nothing wrong with any of these castings. It's just that as a group, there are no Jews there. One in one at a time.

I go, oh, yeah, she's she's fantastic. I love her. I'm so glad she's playing this role. But no one. No one. I mean, OK, maybe someone saying, well, I heard Scarlett Johansson, whose house is part Jewish.

Yeah, but she's a convenient Jew not to take away anything. She's brilliant and I. I adore her. This has nothing to do. This isn't personal, but she's a convenient Jew. There is no one in the world that would think she was Jewish. Her Jewishness has held her, has never held her back in her life.

There's never been a preconceived notion about Scarlett Johansson.

And in terms of Jewishness, it just so happens a fun fact.

If you read like her IMDB trivia, you may or her Wikipedia page, you may find out she has Jewish in her.

Same with the guy who wrote and directed it. He very conveniently has like a Cohen somewhere.

In his and again, I loved the movie, and it was it's funny and brilliant and beautiful and.

It's the collective it's this it's this as a whole.

I you know, I one time brought this up on a different scale, at that point in it, someone was interviewing me for a newspaper or something, and the guy goes, What about Woody Allen movies?

It was like. Tell me, the Jewish women in Woody Allen movies. Diane Keaton, Mia Farrow. Who's the Jew? Who are the big Jewish women in in all these Woody Allen movies? He likes shiksas. And by the way, again, Diane Keaton worship her, I worship these people, these are all brilliant actors. I mean, Seth Rogen. Who I adore beyond, he's a nice example of a Jew that made it all the way gets to play people who deserves love, all that stuff.

It's little different for men, but there's still a lot there.

I mean, we were both talking about Jojo Rabbit.

Then the next thing I know, he's got this phenomenal movie. I mean, I'm such a fan of his the whatever American pickle.

And he was the one Jewish big Jewish woman role in it. Sarah Snook. Chauvel from Succession, who I also think is a fucking master class in acting.

Not Jewish. Again, none of these things by themselves, I have any problem with at all. It's just never, never an actual Jewish woman, just never right for the part. I mean, I know non Jewish actors that make their hair kinky. And change themselves physically to play a Jew. You'd think there were no Jewish actors in this country or any other country, there are people who have it worse than Jewish women. Native American actors are not visible in American art.

I mean. You know, not enough, not represented well, I'm looking at my producer, Rodge, he's an Indian man. You don't see a lot of Indian people represented. They have their own in India, there's a film, but Roger is from Texas. He's he's a brilliant comedian. You don't see a lot of American Indian. American Indian. That's not what I meant, by the way. That's first Americans.

I fucked that up, but Indian Americans represented in art.

But that said, if there is a part for an Indian. Person, it's probably going to be played by an Indian, Haldun, who played Gandhi, Ben Kingsley, ze Indian.

He's not. Yeah, all right, look at that, that's fucked up. I mean, he probably painted himself, Sir Ben Kingsley. I'm not making excuses, but as time passes, you know, I kind of try to hold right now more accountable than than if we've I don't know that that would happen now.

I do not think of Ben Kingsley would would be playing Gandhi now, but yeah, yeah, totally. You know who Jews played a lot in the old days of Hollywood Native Americans? A lot of a cowboy and Indian movies were because we've seen the last similar features. Or something. I don't know, but I'll tell you a. You know, I get, you know, yes, an Arab actress has it worse, there's always going to be.

Yes, a correction. Ben Kingsley is half Indian.

Oh, I did think maybe that would be the case. OK, correction. Ben Kingsley. Thank you. Raj is half Indian, but you know, he's half not Indian.

No.

Well, that's cool, that's nice, that's good. So you don't have it so bad, Rodge, you know, and also like. Yeah, fuck, yes, Arab actresses, it's worse. But you also don't have the brutal irony of Arabs run Hollywood. I mean, I don't know if it's still true that Jews run Hollywood or forever. Was it? Absolutely was.

And I think it's still there's myriad Jews behind the scenes and Hollywood writers, producers, everything, all that stuff that's, you know, that's our.

Thing, you know, Art, but but we're also famous for being self hating self-loathing, and I can tell you from experience, I do not think.

That in the male dominated, dominated, you run Hollywood, they want to see themselves represented in art, I don't know.

I don't know what it is, but it bothers me on a whole, not individually. As a whole. There is something with the Jews. There's something with Jews. You know, Winona Ryder adore her, none of this is personal, but if she kept your name, Winona Horowitz, you really think she would have starred in The Age of Innocence? No fucking way. Not a world where she would have had the career that she had and deserved and deserves.

If she was Wynona Horowitz, she wouldn't have even dated Johnny Depp. Maybe now. Yeah, a lot of who else has I mean, Jon Stewart, Jon Leibowitz, Jeff Ross, great, my friend, comedian Jeff Ross is Jeff Schultz.

But, you know, now nobody knows these Jewish. That's a joke.

And of course, Jon Stewart has no shame about his Judaism, but he often talks about it and has always has I Trump loves pointing out that his name was Jon Leibowitz.

And why? Why, what is he what's his real point, Trump, when he says that bloody God damn it, so fucking gross.

I always wanted to be Jane Pomeroy. We mentioned that. Today. Jane Pomeroy just sounds like a really elegant. Woman And sometimes when I try to just slow down and remind myself, try to be a little less nasal, I say to myself, I'm Jane Pomeroy. I'm Jane Pomeroy. This would be a good time to go to a commercial, and I wish it was for grape nuts.

Because I fucking goddamn have been loving it every night and I haven't even been going into the warm grape nuts scenario, I've been eating it cold lately, but the hot grape nuts are unbelievable. It's better than any dessert, any apple crumble. You make you pour the grape nuts, you add a little more milk than you normally would. Maybe a scoop of butter, a scoop of ghee, maybe not at all. That's up to you. I put in a couple, maybe put in a little sugar, a little honey.

I like the monkey fruit thing.

Microwave it. It turns into the most delicious hot cereal you've ever had. Now it's very hot. What do you do now? You had one scoop, like a tablespoon of vanilla bean ice cream. It's a meal, it's dessert, it's nourishment. It's unbelievable, and that's goddamn free for grape nuts. All right, we have any other voicemail's. My baby. How's your dad doing? He's great. Oh, thank God. Thank you for asking.

My dad's doing great and he's out here. See him every Saturday, we have dinner in my sister Jo Dean's backyard on Saturday, and then we have a big family Zimm Sunday morning, so we kind of can't get enough of each other.

The Silverman family and extended family, we had Saturdays with the local local Sylves Sundays worldwide on the Zoome. Really fun people checking in from all over. We have a Silverman United WhatsApp, we get a Silverman United Marco Polo, then we get a lot of side WhatsApp and Marco Polo is where it's like just the sisters, just the, you know, just everyone but who we're talking about at that moment.

Like it's there's a lot of offshoots, but dad is great.

On Saturday, I was like rubbing it.

First of all, it's so I'm so excited that he's great. Knock wood.

He's 83. In April, he got fucking sick, was in the hospital, was not cared for, well, none of us could go in there. It was terrifying.

We were sure he was going to die, he was sure he was going to die, he left a Marco Polo because we're like totally up on, like, tech.

You know, he was a Marco Polo, like, saying like, I've lived a good life, but, you know, I'm fucking this is it.

And then he got better.

It's funny, I mean, he has really bad problem with his feet and any, like shuffles walking and his foot, you wouldn't even believe what his feet look like.

I mean, I must have told the story already. I don't know. But he got like two toes removed.

And did I tell you this? Caillat He got two toes removed because I had to get two toes removed. I go, oh, my God. Which was what? Toes. And he goes. The one that got roast beef and the one that went to market was like, that's how you know your toes. So, yeah, he's a character, oh, my God. And so Saturday, I was like rubbing his head and it was like I go, did you put something in your hair?

He goes, No. Know you didn't, because it's like waxy, you didn't put like a palm drip, like some kind of product and you're good. No, I go, what is it, like, greasy? I mean, I was able to make it into it like a perfect mohawk.

Like, you look a little duckling. Because, no, I washed my hair today. All right. Then the next day on The Family Zoome, everything's at 20 questions with our family, like whether it's like, guess what, celebrity I saw Gelson's or like guess who has cancer. It's always 20 questions, you know.

So he goes, I told you a lie last night, what was it like, you know, now you know what it is because I set it up, but I figured it out.

He I go, you did put product in your hair. And he goes, Yeah, I was embarrassed. He lied to my face because he was embarrassed. He put a little product in his hair.

Oh, we have fun, but he's doing great. We should probably have him call in and have them come in because he's in town.

He's out here. But you know, Cowbird.

Little probably too risky to wear in like a high rise, so it's a little risky. But I'm sure you'd be thrilled to call in, all right. I think we have one more voicemail. We. Good morning, sir. Twelve forty six a.m. here in Chicago, and I can't sleep because my dog is licking himself rather loudly. So any advice on how to stop it without getting physical? Thanks. I understand I wake up every morning to marry very loudly licking her vagina.

I should point out that Mary's my dog. And it should horrify me because I'm so sound sensitive. That that specific sound of like licking, I can't even mimic it because I can, I can. But it doesn't bother me coming from Mary, even when she eats, she eats loud. I mean, that's like I can't even physically handle that. But when it's Mary, it doesn't bother me.

I wish I could take whatever that is chemically or.

Emotionally or whatever that fucking is, because it's the exact same thing that makes me sweat from the top of my head and fills me with a rage I can't control.

But when it's Mary. So there's there must be a way to think this through and get over my Misophonia, but. So far, I can't I mean, I've pleaded with myself, I've been in line at the DMV, I think I talked about this before, but.

You know, someone was like snapping her gum, and I like the rage I have to control, like I feel like the Hulk and I'm the Hulk is pleading with himself like they didn't mean it.

Don't freak out. They're just a human being, doing the best they can with what they've been given.

You know, I'm sure the David Banner, Bruce Banner, whichever version you are into, would plead with himself to not become the Hulk.

And I my misophonia makes me relate to that on an extreme level.

Well, I feel like I've been talking, talking your ears off over here, talking your fuckin eyes off over here. I'm not good at accents, but I can definitely do my dad.

And that was my dad. Yeah, I'll see. Talk to you later. I'm back because I always forget to say, subscribe, rate and review wherever you listen to podcasts.
