What you just heard, what was that? That was our new theme song. We have an official theme song, you just heard it in your ear holes and there's a bit of a story behind it, behind how it came to be. But before I tell that story, let me just say there were a lot of people that sent in theme songs and here's a couple of them. One, this guy sent in one. Hi, Sarah, my name is you've been testing out some different themed shirts, so I thought I would make a bespoke one for you.

[00:00:53]

I haven't sung over it. I would leave that for you to do. But my intention would be the Sarah Silverman podcast like that anyway. Thank you. Where do you buy. That was Fozzie Bear.

[00:01:12]

Oh. Yes, I had a Cassio with a demo button, too. That's a deep cut for people my age.

[00:01:33]

And then someone else sent a theme song that he, like, dreamed in the shower. Dreamed in the shower. OK, Sarah, I just got out of the shower and I thought of a theme song, OK? We shall talk politics, make a joke about the out of her party tricks, Shabbat Shalom and welcome home. It's the Sarah Silverman podcast of. Solid. Rock solid. So before any of this, before the big search, before the public domain theme song search, before this podcast even came to be.

[00:02:29]

Someone had been sending me music, I was doing I was playing, as you know, Call of Duty, World War Two with my quarantine partner, slash assistant slash friend, a town anay, a town seigle.

[00:02:48]

And we got really into it. And we started broadcasting it on YouTube.

[00:02:52]

And then I would post it. And as you know, I like to improvise songs. I'm not Wayne Brady, good at it, but my passion propels me through. And when I would kill her because she was much better than me, it moved me to to to sing.

[00:03:15]

And so. A friend of mine. Was it stuck in Australia? Now I say stuck in Australia, he's very luckily was in Australia when things shut down and he's staying until shit clears up.

[00:03:34]

He was watching us playing and me singing and he put music to it because he's a brilliant composer.

[00:03:44]

And so let's OK, can we play just me singing.

[00:03:49]

I like to talk shit. In song, I like to talk shit with song. And here's one of them, how I killed her. I killed her just when I lost hope, I killed her and I never thought I'd need to ever feel the loss of blood that I just felt for the second time in a row.

[00:04:21]

I like to kill. All right. No. What happened was kill this friend of mine.

[00:04:31]

Should I reveal who it is or or wait. Wait a little bit. OK, brilliant musician, songwriter, composer, everything. He was born in Australia, so he sent me back this video with music he had composed under it, made it sound like a real song.

[00:04:57]

I killed her.

[00:04:59]

I killed her. Just when I lost hope, I killed her. And I never thought I'd need. To ever feel the last one that I just felt for the second time in a row, I like to kill. I. And they do it so well. This will be the third time I do it, if I do it, if I do it.

[00:05:34]

I did. I killed Erica. Very exciting. I did it for the third time, just like I thought I told you again and. But it did the job, it did the job because she is not here, she's a. Thanks for staying. I'd be good to have and I guess that's going to take while. Well, they say all dogs go to heaven.

[00:06:09]

Oh, you missed, ma'am, we're doing. I must been out of my career for then.

[00:06:16]

Then I was moved to do it again. More shit talking via song. And it went like this. Yeah, I heard a tone with the bullets in my gun, I murdered her dead and it felt like it was fun. Then I did it for a second time and it was real jazzy. I think I'd say jazzy because I have an azi rhyme.

[00:06:43]

Ready, snazzy. Oh, yeah, and then he sent me this down below. Bullets in my gun, I murdered her dad. And it felt like it was fun. Then I did it for a second time and it was. They didn't say Jazy, because I have an azi rhyme ready sky, like opera voices in the back, was very dramatic. And then there was one more. Shit talk song. I get to move to it. I stabbed her in the chest.

[00:07:30]

Also, it doesn't breathe. I stabbed her in the breasts and she's going to die or die a dirty whore. What a.. No way. Her mother's watching. How could you even say that? Because I am singing and dancing and killing.

[00:07:49]

Then he sent me back this just the next day.

[00:07:56]

I stabbed her in the chest and she doesn't breathe anymore. I stabbed her in the presence of a diet or a diet during Horwood and, you know, Weight Watchers watching. So how could you even say that? Because I am singing. Dancing and killing. So she thinks she's going to win just because it's 10 to 20. Oh, there's more. There's only four minutes left. No way. I know she's gonna pull it out her ass. Everything seem OK.

[00:08:42]

That's two appeals in a row, two shows in a row. How can you even live with yourself, Andy? Well, three kills for. There's so many ways I can tell from my mouth, and all it's gonna take is a very close look, so come around.

[00:09:20]

But if I were to kill you from the note, kill you from my place. I'm psyched for you. It wasn't even a good song. Is it over? That was a long, long one, but it was good with music really can make anyone sound, you know, like a pro.

[00:09:52]

This person. Genius who just. With without provocation. I added music, composed a score to my bullshit shit talking is named Ben Folds, the Ben Folds.

[00:10:19]

So we're looking for theme songs we're listening to we we got to use public domain because this is podcast land. They don't put money into shit like that.

[00:10:29]

Music's expensive. So schnorrer me, because, I mean, I think Ben is just sitting in Australia, you know, I mean.

[00:10:43]

He probably could throw some together two seconds, but it is really obnoxious to ask for someone to compose music for free, someone of Ben Folds.

[00:10:55]

Mother Trucking Kaliber. But I just wrote an email, I go, oh, this is obnoxious, I've got a podcast, you got 15 seconds of music, enough for me. He wrote me back. He goes, Yeah, I could probably squeeze something out and he scores something out.

[00:11:18]

I said, can it be just just use the inspiration of whatever you think of is the essence of me. And then he sent me this. And it starts with a.

[00:11:30]

A kvetching baby. But I'll take it and I love it. Should we play it, should we play the whole thing? Hey. I want to make.

[00:12:09]

I'm a super fan, I'm I'm proud to say I'm friends with Ben Folds, I'm also a super fan of Ben Folds and have been from the beginning because, you know, some of you won't remember this, but there used to be a thing called the Virgin Megastore.

[00:12:28]

And when I moved out to L.A., when I first came out here, that was my number one favorite thing to do.

[00:12:35]

That was my date with myself.

[00:12:37]

I drive to the Virgin Megastore, get to have a little puff in my car, and then I'd go up and listen to all the new music, just go to all the listening stations they had listening stations.

[00:12:51]

And I remember when that first Ben Folds Five album came out and I put my headphones on just like this. Turned on the first song and I listened to I just stood there and listened to the entire album. This is the greatest thing I ever heard.

[00:13:11]

I loved it so much then.

[00:13:14]

Couple of years after that, maybe I was on Larry Sanders and I'd become very friendly with Garry Shandling, he was a major mentor and friend of mine.

[00:13:26]

I could go on and on about him, but I got him to book Ben Folds, the Ben Folds Five, which of course was comprised of three people.

[00:13:38]

And when they were when they performed to record the show, I was so excited and I got Gary to in front of them, ask my advice about something, I go just ask my advice about something, anything, you know, so it seems like I'm like a hot shit, you know?

[00:13:59]

So we like we're standing in earshot of them and he's like, well, what do you think of this shot? Do you think it should be a wide shot or, you know?

[00:14:07]

And I'm like, yeah, I mean, I think, you know, get a wide and get some singles. Yeah. And that was a real pal thing to do. And then years later, I told Ben and I did a show at the Kennedy Center, Lotty Da. A year ago, your yeah, a year ago, and I told them that whole story and he was like, I don't remember that at all. I made him real, he's from North Carolina.

[00:14:40]

He's like, I don't I have no recollection of that, I was like, but you were supposed to be impressed. How can I tell you about the Athena Club, this is an ad, but I do use this razor. Well, let me just do the ad part, which is that we deserve better than having to choose between either cheap disposable razors or overpriced brands.

[00:15:05]

Thankfully, I found this Seina Club razor, and to be honest, I didn't know about them until they were they sent me some stuff because they were going to advertise on the on this show, which is happening right now as these words come out of my mouth and that razor, I have the best shave.

[00:15:25]

I'm like feeling my legs right now. I keep feeling my legs because it's, you know, it's like one of those razors. It's got a million razors. But I didn't nick myself once.

[00:15:35]

It just I don't know. It's it was such a good shave. And it comes with shaving cream.

[00:15:39]

That warning, very powerful shave cream.

[00:15:43]

What do I mean by that? I don't know. The the push behind it just you only touch it a tiny bit and the shaving cream will come up because I pressed it down and shaving cream went all over my bathroom.

[00:15:56]

But I had to laugh. You know, it was like having the power of Spiderman.

[00:16:01]

Spiderman. When he had to learn to, you know, just barely touch the doorknob to open the door or else he'd rip the doorknob off.

[00:16:11]

You don't know your own strength with this shaving cream, but I love it. The razors. Unbelievable. The shave cream is like. So dhuey, so fome. It's a great shave, in fact, the Athena club raiser is the only razor designed with hyaluronic acid, that's what it is. Wow. The best part is the raise your kid is only nine dollars.

[00:16:38]

[00:18:27]

Yum. I was just with Rory.

[00:18:35]

I'll tell you what happened, we as I said, we went on a we had we've been having. Dinner with my fam in the bet, my sister's backyard, one of my sister's backyards have three sisters. We've been having dinner in Judeans backyard, so podcasts came out, I forget it's not just this thing, I this message in a bottle. The bottle lands somewhere. And people shove it in their ear holes and consume it. So that that became kind of.

[00:19:14]

A parent at dinner, we sat down and my dad, the first thing you said to Rory was. Hey, I heard all about your pubes. And on the ride home, Rory was like. Maybe take a week off from talking about me, I know it's you know, this is your expression, your art. Maybe take a week off. But look at me talking about it. Also, though, I said, well, I want to say that I want to tell this story because, yeah, you're right, OK, but, you know, just saying doesn't have to be a constant thing.

[00:19:54]

I go, but you're a constant thing. And because that is true. But I hear what he's saying, and I want to respect him as much as I can. But he did want me to clarify because he listened to them that his pubes were not shaved.

[00:20:18]

They were just trimmed. But I will say they were trimmed tightly.

[00:20:25]

OK, so that's it, I you know, listen, you know, I heard my dad say, Rory, I heard about your pubes and I immediately thought about the text I had gotten from Rory's mom that day saying, I can't wait to listen to your podcast.

[00:20:44]

So to Terri, I say, I am so sorry. And. I'm done talking about his pubes starting. Now, I'm also trying to swear less. Because my dad even said, you say fuck too much and my dad says that's got to be true because he says fuck every other word, but he's right.

[00:21:12]

And I did kind of realize it in episode three where or I don't know exactly what it was, but I said it too much and then it loses its power.

[00:21:24]

It has to be a treat. But I think I got so excited to be able to say anything. I want absolutely anything I want that I said fuck a lot.

[00:21:36]

And also, I think, you know, it's funny because it's a lesson you learn fairly early on in standup or Arifa, I feel that, fuck, you know, swearing is a crutch.

[00:21:46]

You got to make it a treat. It's got to be special.

[00:21:48]

There has to be a reason for it can't just be gratuitous unless it's the purpose of it is gratuity, which can also be funny.

[00:21:54]

But gratuity, that's a tip. That's a tip for you young comedians make swearing a treat.

[00:22:05]

So it's funny, I kind of had to relearn that and I'm really it a bit, but it was it was the excitement of blue sky of just being able to say anything I wanted.

[00:22:16]

And then and being I had a tough you know, another interesting thing as I listened back to some of these is this kind of tough guy demeanor that surely is some part of me, but.

[00:22:32]

It's it's almost what I what it's like for me is, you know, this is a learning curve, you know, like when I wrote a book, I had to throw out, you know, my first, like, three months of stuff I wrote because I was writing with such furrowed brow and I wrote the way I thought people should write, you know, or like sound smart or something.

[00:22:56]

I don't have to sound smart.

[00:22:57]

I am smart, you know, like, well, I suppose it's subjective only so subjective. But, you know, I didn't go to college, but I think I'm smart.

[00:23:09]

But, you know, I had to just go like this is written by someone who's trying to sound like a writer.

[00:23:16]

I am a writer to sound like me.

[00:23:18]

And then I remember the first time I did like Terry Gross Fresh Air, which I love. I listen to all the time.

[00:23:25]

And I, I remember catching myself going like, well, Terry, you know, as a comedian, I and I'm like, who's this?

[00:23:33]

You're trying to fit in with NPR. It's just be you just sound like how words come out of your mouth.

[00:23:42]

It's interesting, but it's interesting. You kind of have to learn these lessons as you go. So I think in these first three episodes, we both said there's an element.

[00:23:50]

It felt very comfortable because I've been doing this almost my whole life in terms of standup and and talking.

[00:23:58]

But this format, this podcast format, I think I was.

[00:24:03]

I was podcast's Sarah instead of just, you know, Sarah. And it's interesting, we play such different roles as we get like who you are in front of, your mom is not who you are when you're with your bro's or who you are when you're at a job interview or who you are when you're like high and watching law and order at night.

[00:24:26]

We are not a monolith where different things.

[00:24:30]

Am I using that right?

[00:24:31]

When I say we are not a monolith, that's like one thing. No, not really. A little bit mezza mezza. Huh?

[00:27:06]

Hi, Sara. One of the things I like to do to help me attempt to manage my mental health and calm all of those internal voices that are fighting over whether I'm sane or worthy inside my head is to go for a nice long run rain or shine. I usually listen to some version of EDM set to a particular pace to get me going. Sometimes it helps. Other times it's just boring. Today, listen to your new podcast, Mr. Silverman podcast, and now I know something.

[00:27:36]

One hundred and thirty beats per minute, dance music, garbage. I ran my six mile house easily today listening to your musings, alternatively smiling, pondering my own discomfort, cheering for words of truth, and admiring the voices of those that are not afraid to confront their own imperfections, deep seated cultural assumptions and vernacular and exploring the world we live in.

[00:27:59]

I didn't think of cutting my run short at any point, wanting to hear what your where your thoughts and musings would end up. I'm usually kind of irritated by the platform of celebrity, but the way you challenge the NSA and confront the world makes me want to attempt to do the same. And I am a middle aged white dude.

[00:28:15]

Well done. Your podcast is now part of my running and mental health routine, getting me through the next six miles. I know you don't know me from Adam, but I hope that these words help you get through six more miles as well at least. My question is, how do you confront and manage self-doubt and feelings of failure in a culture that is so primed to try to take you down for just you being yourself? Thanks, Sarah, by.

[00:28:43]

First of all, I just want to say I am so moved by this, you know, if. If my podcast can reach. Just one person and make them realize that EDM sucks, I've done my job. I've done my job.

[00:29:05]

This call is funny, it started out like it started out feeling like real loose, like, you know, but about halfway through it became very apparent that this this was like a like a composed letter he wrote and honed and, like, put commas in. I mean, I think if you took, like the middle, if you played like the middle of this. If you're watching on YouTube, let's say like if you it would sound like put a little schmaltzy music behind it, like one of those public domain musics, and then it's like, you know, like in one of those cheesy movies when sometimes even in good movies when they're like the person's reading a letter.

[00:29:55]

And you hear the voice of the person who wrote it as they read it was who it sounded like to me. Do that for you. I ran my six miles easily today listening to your musings, alternatively smiling, pondering my own discomfort, cheering for words of truth, and admiring the voices of those that are not afraid to confront their own imperfections. That was good.

[00:30:22]

If you're only just listening to this audio, I held up a piece of paper and pretended to be reading a letter. I think you can imagine that your creative. The. The question, how do you confront. Failure. And self-doubt, I mean, what am I, some sort of I don't know, but, you know, I do have great advice because it's a quote from Charlie Kaufman that I lean on a lot. First of all, yeah, we live in the, as they say, cancel culture, all this stuff.

[00:30:55]

It's scary because, you know, as a comic, you you want to be loose fast and loose. You want to throw stuff out there, slap stuff on against the wall and see what sticks, see what goes too far, see what doesn't.

[00:31:08]

You know, and I, I always used Twitter for that when, you know, when Twitter started existing, of course, especially now because there's not standup and it's brutal.

[00:31:19]

You can't try stuff out TMZ shit.

[00:31:22]

And then I, I held back not because they needed to. Because I wanted to.

[00:31:31]

But there's just it's funny that there's just no leeway for mistakes, but then again, there is if you allow it, you you know, the part of the risk, if you're a risky or, you know, edgy comedian, that means that there are consequences.

[00:31:49]

You're risking consequences.

[00:31:51]

So, yeah, you could get canceled or you could have a lot of people angry at you because you said something wrong or you made a mistake or you went too far. You didn't see the line. But that risk.

[00:32:06]

Is something and what's important is that you are open to change or tweak it or go whops or or take the take the talking to take the beaten, you know, but you can persevere unless you're just really counseled and then you're fucked.

[00:32:27]

And that was a good reason to say fuck.

[00:32:30]

But it is it's a complex it's a complicated time. It's a time that is tough to navigate, but. What a time to be alive, to be alive in a time where speech and expression is tough to navigate. Oh, I was going to give you the Charlie Kaufman quote.

[00:32:47]

Which which I cling to, and I quote a lot, and it's just this and maybe I'm not saying it exactly right, but it's basically I don't fear failure, failure.

[00:32:58]

You should wear like a badge of honor because it means you risked failure. Really, really sold that quote, he probably just mumbled it. But yeah, don't fear failure, wear it as a badge of honor, it means you risked failure.

[00:33:19]

And, you know, I don't know what book or thing or fragment of something I heard this is from, but it's really true, which is, you know, you're defined by how you handle failure.

[00:33:33]

It can be your greatest triumph, how you handle failure, you know. Or you can just crumble into a ball and never take another chance. What else? Hi, Sarah, this is Joga from your call of duty, World War Two. OK, hold on. Put this to you.

[00:33:55]

This is Joga. Joga.

[00:34:01]

Joey, I can picture his name so in a town and I played Call of Duty World War Two, we started broadcasting it first son, I don't know, Twitch.

[00:34:15]

What's it called? Twitch.

[00:34:16]

And then on YouTube. And we were so into we did it every night during the lockdown during while we were cooped up and we started having like it was didn't get popular.

[00:34:29]

But we love doing it. We were doing it anyway. And we had this kind of group of regulars that would hang out in the comments section and we would just talk about everything. And it really kind of primed me for this. But Joga was like the cool one.

[00:34:49]

We loved him. He was he I don't know. That's the first time I've heard his voice. I can't believe he's calling.

[00:34:54]

And I'm sorry to interrupt, but, like, it's crazy. We you know, I was nazis' because when you play World War Two and I've talked about this before and you were playing against each other, one of us had to be Nazis.

[00:35:08]

I was Nazis. But yeah.

[00:35:11]

So Joga was one of our regulars. You know, we would say, OK, we're starting at six thirty.

[00:35:19]

I think we did it in New York and we would get there a little early and everyone else would be there early to after a while. And we get get there early to like hang out with each other in the comments section.

[00:35:32]

All right. Anyway, so this is very exciting. This is a friend that I've never met who I only know by Joga.

[00:35:42]

The good cop. Bad cop scenario you might be familiar with, the good cop assumes a sympathetic. And understanding roll toward you while the bad cop assumes an aggressive negative stance. The good cop, he feigns protection of you from the angry bad cop, and you soon identify with the good cop and trust them while seeking shelter from the bad cop. Now, the other side of the coin, which most people don't really understand, is that you can also begin to identify with the bad cop.

[00:36:17]

Yeah, you recognize the good cop is pretending to be your friend, while the bad cop may be a mean, aggressive guy, but at least he's being truthful to you. That level of trust is initiated and you find a camaraderie with the bad cop while remaining dismissive of the good cop. In my mind, this is the same tactic that are Democrats and Republicans have used on voters for over 100 years. So interesting. It's probably why people are leaving the Democratic Party and the GOP to register as independent.

[00:36:56]

It's how both parties today are now catering to loyalists who have these extreme opposing views against one another. Anyway, that's just food for thought. Bye bye jugar.

[00:37:11]

Who knew you had it in you? That's really interesting. It's really interesting to to make that analogy with politics and partisan politics and. You know, if if the Democrats are the good cop, which I think. Either party would say like, yeah, and then the Republicans are like the bad cop that, like, shoot from the hip and I mean, Trump is really that, you know, it's like Trump love that he's no nonsense, but he's all nonsense is the truth.

[00:37:46]

And that's the bottom line is it's fucking show business.

[00:37:52]

There you go again.

[00:37:53]

You know, it's an act. Politics is showbiz, that's what's so funny about people saying to actors or performers, stay in your lane, like at least your constituents were actual citizens.

[00:38:06]

These people are. I went to an Emmy party. A couple years ago and who's there at this SHOWBIZ Emmy party? Michael Avineri. And Scaramucci, what's his first name? Anthony, yeah, Anthony Scaramucci and Michael Avnery are at this Hollywood party together. There's the the the spokesman for the for Trump and the guy suing Trump for Stormy Daniels hanging out together. I couldn't believe it. I walked by them. I see them. And then I walk over.

[00:38:57]

I go, You guys are friends? Yeah, we're friends. Then I find out they were out here pitching a show together.

[00:39:05]

It's fucking show business.

[00:39:10]

It's just so weird, at least when we're political, we're risking something, right, right. I just did that Rachel Maddow thing that everyone does now.

[00:39:21]

We're risking something right. No, that's not a fact you're saying, right, makes it seem like a fact. But I mean, what the fuck these get sorry, I'm swearing a lot, I'm sorry, Janice. I'm sorry, Dad. These guys have endless golden parachutes. I mean. You know, first, they're a mouthpiece for the White House. Lying to your face, lying to the American people day after day while calling journalists the enemy of the people, then they get fired or they quit and.

[00:40:00]

Well, well, well, what do you know? They've got a book deal where they denounce everything they insisted on when they worked for Trump.

[00:40:10]

Now they've got a book deal, now they're doing press with the enemy of the people. Now they're leaning on them for press, now they're on Dancing with the Stars. What do you know? Oh, my gosh. My neighbors were both dancers and Dancing with the Stars.

[00:40:30]

They've moved and I love them, but like one of them is like, Yeah, I'm dancing with Sean Spicer.

[00:40:35]

He's really nice. Yeah, of course he's nice. That's how he survives, but like what is nice? You know, I mean, like he's lying, lying to your face with a smile and then being nice. It's like bless your heart. Bless his heart. Then they land with, like a show on Fox News or a pundit on Fox News, it's like. They just they're just rewarded. But they were lying to us about stuff that mattered.

[00:41:18]

I don't care if you lie to me while you're on Dancing with the Stars. But politics is show business. I tried to actually in the Hulu show, remember, I kept pushing for this and no one was really for it, but like.

[00:41:35]

I had this analogy where it's it's. Politicians are just like Real Housewives.

[00:41:43]

Let's see if I can remember this theory, because Real Housewives, you watch it and you go, how are these grown women? Behaving so terribly. On camera, they know people are going to see this behavior. It's because they're not seeing the audience, they're seeing producers behind the camera. Giving them wild approval for bad behavior. And it's just like Washington, we vote these people in to represent us, but instead of representing us. They're succumbing to the demands of lobbyists and, you know, people who put money in their pocket, people who can help them get to the next place or or staying on Trump's good side because we know he's vindictive.

[00:42:38]

All these things are the producer on the other side of the camera, behind the camera, giving them approval.

[00:42:44]

These lobbyists, these people, these special interest groups, they don't see their constituents standing behind the camera giving them a thumbs up. They're there to separated from them by them.

[00:42:59]

I don't know, um. Hey, did you hear Himmler's going to be on Fear Factor? No, he's really funny on it, he's charming on it, Himmler, I've been listening to the Supreme Court. Nomination process stuff. So annoying. Well, I don't even wanna talk about it, fuckin oops, yeah. It's just very odd to me that there are people. Who don't want big government that I understand they want small government. Yeah, I can see that they want the government out of their backyards.

[00:43:47]

Yeah, I get it. They want the government off their lawn, out of their personal lives. Yeah, that makes sense. Yet somehow those same people. Just just want to legislate every single one of my hols. It's just very odd, it doesn't track. You know, I mean, even in 2002, there was they finally changed the law in Texas where anal sex was illegal. And, you know, that was, I think, born from homophobia more than just basic anal sex.

[00:44:30]

It's just it's that it's just keeping people.

[00:44:34]

From doing what they want to do with their own private selves and bodies. I mean, come on. This seems so trite, but if you know, I can't imagine anyone even. Anti choiceless. Who would disagree that if men were the ones carrying babies? This would be a non-issue, like would not be an issue, no, man.

[00:45:16]

Is going to be told what he can and cannot do with his own human body. I was. We're talking about drugs the other day, too, and, you know, it's really I'm I smoke weed. I'm sure it will age me.

[00:45:38]

I mean, let's face it, you know. I'm not going to feign humility, I'm holding up great for my age, I look phenomenal. You know, I've my moments, I look in the mirror and I go, that's not me, I remember my mom, she'd look in the mirror and it was like a horror movie.

[00:45:57]

She'd she'd look in the mirror and she'd go, that's not me, you know, because she thinks of herself the way we all think of ourselves, like.

[00:46:06]

You know, young. I get that, but, yeah, I mean, I take an account, as I've said before, of my my own cognitive distortion, which I think is a really good move.

[00:46:18]

I'm pretty happy, I think I look. Yeah, I definitely look good, so, I mean, I think than not drinking is a real key in that, but I do smoke a little pot.

[00:46:31]

But in general, I would say that drugs and alcohol especially does not age well, and my friends that are my age, that drink, it's like I'm really starting to see it.

[00:46:45]

The blow, the nose, the just like.

[00:46:50]

Sack of water they're carrying I don't know what it's like, so odd looking, it's just it's just, I guess, worth it to them because people really people who drink really feel they need to drink, I think.

[00:47:07]

But I will say the one drug, and I'm not for it, it has killed. People I love. But if you can survive heroin. If you get through heroin, if you're a major heroin addict and somehow you get to the other side and get clean. Heroin bodies are superb. I mean, they have like Jesus abs, it must be if it doesn't kill you, heroin must be some kind of preservative.

[00:47:43]

You know, I mean, look at Iggy Pop, he made it through, he no longer, you know, does drugs, but all those years of heroin somehow preserved him. His body's incredible. He's got to be 70. He takes his shirt off, his jeans are tight and like low riders, you know, you see like a little a little coin slot in the ass crack.

[00:48:15]

And it's just all. AB's. Yeah. Not good for you, not worth it, but if you are a junkie and you get clean. There's some sort of preservative in that shit. Maybe that could be extracted and used it like as a vitamin. And if the if there's a. Side effect of a slight euphoria. Well, probably is addictive. I'm a New Hampshire Jew. I know I'm very Jew centric. But the you know, what's not ever maybe once was it Slums of Beverly Hills, I haven't seen that in a long time, maybe a little bit in that movie, but really almost never in art.

[00:49:12]

Do you see the working class Jew? You know, it's funny because I wrote this musical that's going to when life comes back. Be in New York, and it's a lot about my dad and we're casting my dad and they're bringing out all these nebbishy, they're the actors are playing it like nebbishy and anxious and neurotic.

[00:49:41]

And it's because that's what people know of Jews from art. This is what we see as Jew in in our art. We don't see the. The confident you, the working class Jew, the masculine Jew, my dad's a Boston Jew, it's it's a much more masculine Jew. You don't see it in art very much, you really don't. I. But I would say like Pete Davidson, very funny comedian, I watched his Judd Apatow movie, really good Burr was.

[00:50:22]

Beautiful, his acting was beautiful in it. Marissa Tomé. And it's kind of semiautobiographical about Pete's life, I think, you know, it's not, but it is. But everybody knows, you know, I mean, it's he talks about it that his dad was a firefighter who died in 9/11.

[00:50:45]

His dad died a hero. What people don't know and I haven't talked to beat about this.

[00:50:50]

I have not talked to beat about this. I literally just like was curious and looked on Wikipedia because.

[00:50:58]

You know, his first thing when he first was like a comedian that I remember was like, you can't tell what I am. Am I black? Am I white? Am I this? Am I that?

[00:51:06]

But I do wish he would openly I'm not saying he's hiding it, but I've never heard him talk about it.

[00:51:14]

I would love for people to know that his dad was Jewish, a Jewish hero firefighter who died in 9/11.

[00:51:24]

I mean, I'm shaking my head at my own self because it's just like I sound like all those Jews are like it's good for the Jews, but we're living in precarious times again.

[00:51:38]

And it's just, you know, you used to be like Jews are only one fifth of one percent of the world and but we've won, you know, 80 percent of the peace prizes or the Nobel Prizes or the Pulitzer Prizes or whatever, like this real kind of like, you know, look at us now. It's like Jesus Christ, we're only one fifth of one percent of the world. But it's like all the famous ones now are like Weinstein and Epstein.

[00:52:09]

And do they have to have those Jewish names? Like, I'm honestly so grateful that Steven Miller has a very neutral sounding last name.

[00:52:19]

But we need more, you know, we've got our big now she's died, may she rest in peace, but we need the good Jews to be a little more front and center. It's. I'm getting nervous. But you got your Sacha Baron Cohen's he's I think he's a great Jew and we got Pete Davidson's dad. So, Pete, I think your dad was Jewish, right?

[00:52:45]

Say something about it for you, for your old pal, Sarah. No one knows of the blue collar Jew. All right, what else we got? We have another voice mail. Sarah, I just want you to know I thought it was funny that you're since you're the bad guy in school of rock, I used to think you were that way in person. And I always was like, oh, God, she's so strict and I like her.

[00:53:21]

But then I found out you're just a really funny actress and you were acting, so, yeah, that's it. He thought it was real, it was that in that, like, if you know Jack Black, he is that guy, although I'm sure he's always on time with his rent in real life.

[00:53:44]

It's so funny because when I shot that movie, it was so fun and I got so many laughs on set, like I just felt. In my element on that set, making people laugh, and I was so excited when I went to it's actually equal in naiveté to this guy because then I went to see the movie.

[00:54:08]

And, of course, I'm a total twat in it. You know, like all the fun stuff and all the me being funny stuff is was in between the shots, you know.

[00:54:20]

So I hate when I laugh at myself like that. Hmm. Yeah. Excuse me when I listen back, but that is funny.

[00:54:31]

And also, you know, Bussel, someone on that that magazine, that website Bussel wrote. This whole, like, piece about my character in School of Rock and how she's the villain, but she's. She isn't like I'm right and it is true, it's like who's going to tolerate? A roommate who sleeps like in the living room and does not pay rent and is and hates you like he his character hated me and wouldn't pay rent.

[00:55:11]

On.

[00:55:13]

So she was right, Peggy, Tomago, Patti, Patti and I remember my name in it, but Patty DeMarco, of course, boy, that role was really like of of the roles available to juy, women actors.

[00:55:35]

It's almost the hat trick. I was the county roommate and the county girlfriend, if I was just also a sleazy executive, I'd have the whole hat trick of the array of roles available to juy women. I jerk off to pictures of your feet every single day, at least once a day. I see you in panty hose or picture of your panty hose and then it could be two to three times a day.

[00:56:06]

So thank you. You're welcome, that is. There's so much I have to say about that, first of all, I'm I'm very flattered. I feel I don't feel violated by it.

[00:56:24]

You know, God speed the foot thing is like a real thing, like if you put in any.

[00:56:32]

Known woman and then on in Google and then type like F E or maybe just F or maybe nothing at all. It will say Ft. There are a lot of feed people, a lot of foot people I dated.

[00:56:53]

I got fixed up, actually, by really good friends with a lovely guy, and we're still friends and he's he's a doll and he's funny and but he we had sex a few times and he is a foot guy.

[00:57:13]

Now, initially, we were just like emailing and FaceTime and stuff because he we were in different coasts.

[00:57:20]

And then and looking back, I realized he'd go send me a picture of your feet like like in the Corona ads, like those beach pictures where it's just like your feet are up and you know, I go, well, I'm just in my room.

[00:57:35]

He goes, Yeah, no, but it'll be funny. You send it to me. Then I started to pick up when we had sex.

[00:57:42]

He just it was all about my feet. My boobs, my ass did nothing. My vagina. My sweet, sweet labia majoras. Did nothing for him. He needed to see the bottoms of my feet. It was really funny and also he was a nipple guy, so it's like it felt like playing what's the game with the different colored spots. And you like Twister? Is that what it's called?

[00:58:14]

It felt like playing Twister because I like one hand was like playing with one nipple. And then I was like licking another nipple and he needed constant, like nipple stimulation.

[00:58:25]

And I'm lying on my stomach.

[00:58:27]

And then he's like, let's see those slabs. And I had to like, I don't know how to explain it, but, like, lift my feet up so he could see the bottom of my feet.

[00:58:36]

And I was laughing because it was just funny. I was like, let's see the slabs, slabs.

[00:58:42]

Then I was laughing. And he goes, laughing isn't helping a girl. All the laughing is not going to stop. But I'm game. I just I really didn't know how long I could sustain this. This kind of sex life, but that he is a great guy.

[00:59:01]

And we had some fun, but, yeah, that's a thing, Ft and I like that this guy first of all, I feel vindicated because I am one of the rare women in this time that I will wear a nylon on occasion and cold weather.

[00:59:22]

Because like a sheer nylon, yeah, I wear tights and, you know, I love a fashion tight. But I will wear a sheer nylon because it looks nice on the leg, it keeps me warm because I'm always cold and also like if I'm wearing a skirt or dress, I don't have a thigh gap.

[00:59:43]

So I get it's very intense.

[00:59:46]

The pain of thigh burn from your thighs, rubbing together, it's real.

[00:59:52]

So I like to even like if I wasn't wearing that, I might wear like boxer briefs or something under a skirt just because of thigh rub.

[01:00:01]

Anyway, for these reasons I enjoy a sheer nylon.

[01:00:06]

And it's funny that there's someone I get that being a turn on, I mean, not I don't personally get it, but I, I, I'm sure that that's something just like feet or shoes with with men.

[01:00:22]

That must come from his mother, like he's probably around my age and.

[01:00:29]

Although my mom was a hippie, you didn't like, wear a bra and she definitely didn't wear nylons, but moms did wear nylons and they came in like this egg, and I can see how that might, you know, it's historical.

[01:00:41]

And some somewhere along the line, it it became sexualized for him.

[01:00:48]

Hmm. I mean, everybody has their things like. I like to get you know, if I'm in a trusting, loving relationship, I like a little smack on the tush for for sure.

[01:01:02]

I like little like a little macaroni on the tush, always have, I don't understand it, it's probably something I could explore in therapy, but it's also not something I'm looking to stop. You know, it's not hurting anyone, it's. You know, except for me, and it really doesn't feels like I don't know. Feels good, not across the board, but in the right situation at it. I remember the first time I came home from New York.

[01:01:36]

Came up to New Hampshire and I was in the bathroom with my mom and I was like using her shower because my shower, my bedroom was in the attic and it was one of those showers you like by.

[01:01:49]

And it's it was terrible.

[01:01:51]

It was, you know, like I don't know how to explain. It wasn't, like built in. So, you know, it was the do I live. I grew up with like a wood stove and, you know, my mom had the good shower anyway, so I was running the shower and my mom was like peeing. And then I went to step into the shower. You know, we're talking this is what women folk do.

[01:02:15]

And then I went to get in the shower. My mom said, Sarah and I turned around. I could see my ass in the mirror.

[01:02:22]

And there was just a bruise, the shape of a hand.

[01:02:28]

And I know whose hand it was. I remember.

[01:02:31]

I mean, you'd think of course I do. But anyway. Of restraint with that.

[01:02:37]

And I just had to say, Mom, I am having a sexual relationship with a man who spanks me, there's really nothing she could say about it except.

[01:02:52]

All right, sorry, that was a lot of a lot of talking, but that's what this is. It's a podcast. Oh, real quick, sir. We did a search for Sarah Silverman, Effy, and actually your dad's feet come up first is Sarah Silverman dad's feet?

[01:03:08]

Well, people want to see schleppy slabs, Sheppey as he's got some major slabs.

[01:03:16]

That's more of like a I would say that's more akin to a doctor pimple popper type of a.

[01:03:26]

Google search, it's his feet, and I think I said this before, when I had to take care of his feet and bandage them, I they're like E.T. They're incredibly deformed and ugly.

[01:03:40]

But you love them in the end. I mean, it wasn't deformed, he looked. What if he didn't look like anyone else on his planet? What if he looked wildly deformed on his planet and we just assumed everyone looks like him or her them?

[01:04:00]

By the way, there's no definite gender assignment to eat.

[01:04:09]

All right, anyway, that's so funny. Sarah Silverman's dad's feet.

[01:04:19]
