Welcome to and here's Modi. Welcome everybody back to and here's Modi. Today we have Leo and Periel and me.
Speaker 3:It's the group, the triple threat, the triple threat.
Speaker 1:okay, and we're going to play a game today.
Speaker 2:Periel has an idea for us so andy warhol founded interview magazine in 1969. I was doing some research because I thought we played that the questions the other show and I thought it was really fun. So I think that one of the things that our listeners would love is to learn a little bit more about the two of you. So these are the 20 questions that Andy Warhol would ask an interview magazine and I'm going to ask them to Modi and Leo.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Do you dream?
Speaker 3:Yes, yes, I don't always remember them, but yes.
Speaker 1:Do you ever remember them Sometimes?
Speaker 2:Are they like good dreams or scary dreams or anxiety dreams?
Speaker 1:They are depends on what you watch before you go to bed. That has a big factor on it and then depends like sometimes there's that dream like in the morning when you wake up, but like just before you're getting out of bed and you go back into those little mini dreamies those I know, according to Kabbalah, aren't real dreams, but the dream dreams. I haven't been remembering any of the big dreams I'm having lately.
Speaker 2:Those are big dreams or not?
Speaker 1:No, those are like, not big, the ones in the middle of the night, like do you ever have?
Speaker 2:like a dream where, like, all your teeth fall?
Speaker 3:out. Yes, I've had that, yes I have a recurring dream.
Speaker 1:It's a nightmare that I this is a recurring nightmare I have it's. It's that I'm doing amazing in one class in college, killing it like, wow, teacher loves me, the the grades are a's and all that, and then I forget.
Speaker 3:I have three other classes ever since you told me about that dream, I've had similar dreams of like school stress, dreams where I'm like back in college and I'm like what is going?
Speaker 1:on. I have PTSD from college.
Speaker 2:That's so crazy, because I have a college like anxiety dream too, that like I thought I was like passing and I was graduating, and then like I realized that like I never went to astronomy class.
Speaker 3:Maybe it's a thing I don't know, oh my God.
Speaker 2:But do you believe in them, like, do you believe that they, like, symbolize something else, or are you? Just like whatever, I had a dream I don't know if it's just.
Speaker 1:It's like a panic attack once in a while. I just not a panic attack, it's just like in a dream. I'm just like I'm four other classes and I'm like, oh my God, I didn't do any of the work for any of the classes and college was just a nightmare. So I guess it's just dreams about that, and are they ever fun?
Speaker 2:Like, are you ever?
Speaker 3:Yeah, sometimes I have fun dreams.
Speaker 2:I have fun dreams sometimes too yeah.
Speaker 3:Or they're like super realistic and you wake up and you're like whoa, whoa.
Speaker 2:And do you know in the dream that you're dreaming, or like does it feel super real.
Speaker 3:That's called lucid dreaming, and there's people who like practice that.
Speaker 2:Really.
Speaker 3:There's like whole books about it and like it's a lot of like meditation and stuff.
Speaker 2:Okay, I love having dreams.
Speaker 1:I love having them too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's really, I'm also usually on the nicotine patch so that I don't smoke cigarettes and really, oh yeah, for like years. Um, do those give you crazy dreams? Yes, they give you crazy, crazy, realistic dreams and they're usually really fun so like way more fun than I'm having in real life I get that.
Speaker 3:So our friend evan recommended these little pills. It's like an herbal supplement. It's called valerian root oh yeah and it's supposed to help you sleep. It's just like they call it, like nature's xanax or something I'm like sure I'll give it a try. The craziest dreams I've ever had 100 of the time if I take that it's like whoa, and then I read about it online and apparently it's like a thing and, and it helps you sleep. I think so.
Speaker 2:I guess if you're dreaming, you're sleeping. It's a cocktail that's going down the gullet. Showers or baths Showers.
Speaker 3:Never baths. I don't know the last time I took a bath.
Speaker 1:Well, hold on. No, no, no. Shower, shower, shower, shower. Love a shower, we shower, um. But we stay in these beautiful hotels and we travel and some of them have these amazing soaking tubs and the other day we were in one of them and I just just filled it up and just got into a hot, hot bath for like a few minutes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and then it's cold and you're gross.
Speaker 1:No, not that, then it's cool. But like then you realize you're sitting in your filth, you know, I then I showered afterwards right, I would say that in.
Speaker 2:Then you realize you're sitting in your filth. Then I showered afterwards Right, I would say that in a hotel bath you're probably more concerned that you're sitting in somebody else's.
Speaker 1:No, but it's not some disgusting hotel. It's a gorgeous hotel and you can tell it's clean yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay so that's that.
Speaker 2:Is there anything you regret not doing?
Speaker 3:I don't think so. Is there anything you regret not doing I?
Speaker 2:don't think so, not without turning this podcast rated X.
Speaker 1:What are you going to say? I should have bought more Apple. I should have bought more. What are you going to regret not doing? I can't say, I can't.
Speaker 2:It's a good question and I'll tell you why. I actually started one of my books with this quote I think it's a Mark Twain quote that we I do not regret the things I have done, only that which I have not. I'm bastardizing it a little bit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, I've heard that.
Speaker 2:There is like something in life is that, like you don't really regret the things that you do. It's just the things that you haven't done.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like I think everything has. Maybe you would have done this faster, but maybe God's plan was that you don't do it faster and it happens now.
Speaker 2:Yeah so.
Speaker 1:I can't say that I have regrets and definitely do not focus on regrets.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Definitely do not focus on regrets, if you have them.
Speaker 2:I like to wallow in my regret. Now what?
Speaker 1:about you.
Speaker 3:I feel like I've made the best decisions at any point in time with the information I had available to me at that time.
Speaker 2:Shine, shine, good gazooked. What was your first job?
Speaker 3:I think I was a lifeguard, yeah obviously you were a lifeguard yeah, I should not have been. They shouldn't, they should not let teenagers be lifeguards you were probably so responsible oh, I was pretty responsible, yeah.
Speaker 3:But also they shouldn't let 50. I wouldn't. If I went to the pool and there's a 15-year-old lifeguard, I'd be like cool, that's not going to help anyone in the case of an emergency. But the company I worked for would go around and test the lifeguards, and so my boss would sometimes take me to other pools and I would go down the water slide and pretend to drown and he would time them to see how long it took. That's sick. What about the other people watching? They thought it was real and then he got just kidding.
Speaker 2:First of all, it's hilarious because I showed Ari a picture of the two of you for something ages ago and Leo is in like a little speedo and he goes. Oh, is Leo a lifeguard?
Speaker 3:Not, no, not, no, not no.
Speaker 1:My first job was a paper route.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Yeah, delivering Newsday on Long Island, I had a paper route with a bicycle and a basket.
Speaker 3:Stop it, you had to wake up at the ass crack of dawn. No, it was after school paper oh, after school.
Speaker 2:How old were you?
Speaker 1:I was, I think, junior high school. So, whatever, what's junior high school? How old are you in junior high school? I? Don't know like uh 12, 13 yeah, maybe 14 yeah, so cute you had a paper and I my mom made I wanted to quit and my mom made me stay. You'll'll do a whole year, Just for a whole year. I did it and that was what was your first job and I bought a watch with the money.
Speaker 3:Of course you did.
Speaker 1:I bought a watch off my uncle, my uncle Yakov, had this beautiful Porsche design watch. I said that's the hottest I want, he goes. And he told me yep, $400. It's yours. And I worked and I got $400 and I bought that watch. That was my first watch.
Speaker 2:I love that. That's a great thing to do for a kid is to like make them buy a thing that they want instead of just handing it. I've always been like that what that you had to work to buy stuff. Nobody was just like handing you no one was handing me anything right. That's probably why guy gets so upset when I buy, like ari, like three pairs of nike sneakers that's different.
Speaker 2:You're buying him shoes well, no, I'm buying him like the cool shoes, yeah like I'm buying him, like you know, limited edition, whatever, and guys always scandalize and he gets really upset. He's like I had one pair of shoes growing up, yeah well, we're not in the kibbutz anymore. No, no, but it is no. I think there's a real value to it. I was a babysitter and I'm sure that I had much less business being a babysitter than you did being a lifeguard, probably. Oh my God, Because I was like fully stoned, like going to see you.
Speaker 1:Literally.
Speaker 2:Like literally. I was so like wildly irresponsible.
Speaker 1:I babysat too a little bit. I babysat too for my parents' friends when I was like a little bit older. When my parents went out with with people that I would sit, I just sat in the house.
Speaker 2:I just want to say that I, when I was like 15, I remember babysitting for this family and if you are listening or have remember me in any way. I just want to offer my deepest apologies. I remember that I broke some glass thing and then lied about it Like pretend blame it on the kid. No, but I didn't tell her it happened. And now, as a mom, like that is so dangerous, like a kid can cut themselves with glass I never like owned.
Speaker 1:Look at modi shaking no, I'm just, you know. You know where my mind is. Today. Babysitting is probably so different that the house has cameras everywhere. You know, today, today, houses have cameras everywhere. It's like when the father drives the.
Speaker 2:You know the yeah, I remember he used to drive me home yeah, it's like this.
Speaker 1:That's shady, it's different things now, like you can't just drive a 15 year old 15 year old home. You just can't. The world has just changed you can't do things like that.
Speaker 2:I thought it was like normal, that he was like putting his hands, like stop no okay, you were like begging him to um when do you get nervous?
Speaker 3:what do I not get nervous modi doesn't get nervous, he doesn't. He just doesn't feel that he doesn't have that wire.
Speaker 2:He has a nerve block, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 3:It's admirable. Sometimes Nervous, you get excited, but not like nervous Nervous.
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:Before you jump, off the high diving board or something.
Speaker 1:No, no, I get nervous if I know something's going to set Leo off. That's not fair. No, when, like, we get to a gig or something and I could tell these are all idiots. We are at a gig with idiots and this is not going to and Leo's going to figure out that they're all idiots and then he'll be, I'm upset like knowing that he's going to have to deal with this. So that's when.
Speaker 3:I'm nervous. Are you nervous?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I get nervous. I get nervous before I go and get on stage. Really, yeah, I get nervous. This isn't about me, this is about you guys.
Speaker 1:No, you are about us. I'm nervous for this event tomorrow. About me, this is about you guys. No, you are about us, I'm nervous for this event.
Speaker 3:Tomorrow we're doing for Eshel.
Speaker 1:Really yeah. Why? Because I just know you were nervous for last night's event. I couldn't have been happier for it.
Speaker 3:I wasn't nervous for last night's event. I just said I want to get it over with because they've been. It's been a long process. That's very it's been a long process. One of those gigs, what's been on the calendar forever and there's been like 50 emails too many.
Speaker 2:You just like want it to be done. Oh, you don't get nervous like before.
Speaker 1:Before you tape the special before no he doesn't get nervous no, I if no, if the lighting, and if the lighting and sound is set, I'm not nervous to go up there. You know, I once had a. I was once in an acting class. It was so bad and we and everybody was doing their scenes and this one girl's up there and she's sitting. She set herself up to do the scene and she's like the. The teacher could tell she was nervous and she's like, and he goes to her. So he goes, whatever the girl's name was, mindy, what are you feeling right now? She goes. I'm feeling scared and nervous and okay, so do you want to work off of that? He goes. I'm just a little nervous and a little scared and I go. So why are you here? Why are you in acting class? I think he may have asked me.
Speaker 2:I'm sure that really helped. I'm sure that helped me.
Speaker 1:Nervous for what? There's 10 idiots here staring at you. Do the line.
Speaker 3:That's what I'm saying. It comes out it doesn't come out.
Speaker 1:It doesn't come out, yeah.
Speaker 2:He's on a permanent beta blocker.
Speaker 3:No no.
Speaker 2:Do you ever get nervous?
Speaker 3:Yeah, all the time, just like. Yeah, I don't know, like right now I'm blanking.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:Surprisingly, I was not nervous when we did the 92nd Street Y event for the 100th episode.
Speaker 2:I wasn't nervous for that either, I was not nervous at all, I wasn't nervous.
Speaker 3:I thought I was going to be nervous, but I was like, actually fine.
Speaker 1:When Leo is not nervous about something, I know it's going to be even extra better than it's going to be. I know all events, I know everything's going to be great. But when he's like, this is going to be great, it's going to be even better than I think it is.
Speaker 2:Were you nervous for the 90 Seconds Street Live? No, I get nervous before I fly.
Speaker 3:That's more. Is that nervous or is that just like stress and like anxiety?
Speaker 1:I was nervous when we were leaving Israel. Is that nervous or is that anxiety?
Speaker 3:That's a lot of things, that is trauma Fear for one's life. I was very calm, you were calm, but like there's something maybe not Like totally normal about you. Okay, what's the next question? What's the next question?
Speaker 2:Okay, why can't it just be magic all the time?
Speaker 3:It can be magic all the time it is magic all the time.
Speaker 1:Are you crazy?
Speaker 2:It's magic all the time if you decide it is I like that, although I could say that if it were magic all the time, then when it is magic, you wouldn't be able to recognize it as magic.
Speaker 3:That's a fair point, but this is Andy Warhol's question.
Speaker 2:Yeah, these are Andy Warhol.
Speaker 1:I got you, so I don't know. Everything is a miracle. Everything is a. The fact that this is my voice, is going in here and into a machine and being updated and loaded. It's all miraculous stuff.
Speaker 2:I agree, and you have to just see it as that. What did you have for breakfast?
Speaker 3:I had a protein shake.
Speaker 2:What was in it? Did you make it?
Speaker 3:No, it was like a bottled breakfast meal replacement shake.
Speaker 2:And was it good or was it disgusting? Because you're making a face.
Speaker 3:No, it was just because right now I'm hungry. So it didn't obviously do what it was supposed to do wait do you usually make them yourself?
Speaker 2:I?
Speaker 3:usually make them myself. Um, but this morning I woke up and I slept in, or like I was, I didn't really sleep last night. Anyway, I didn't have time to like do anything, so I just grabbed it and came here. But I usually eat breakfast usually a protein shake no, like yesterday, I made us eggs and toast, toast and avocado.
Speaker 1:That's my go-to we have a nice moment at home before we have to do anything. We have a nice toast, eggs, avocado yeah okay, or make a shake, or a shake and did you have breakfast? No, I had coffee and I washed the grapes that we ordered from Costco and they were amazing and they were all clean. I just grabbed a handful of them. Great, and that was it, okay. Grapes.
Speaker 2:I had organic yogurt with almonds and chia seeds and one tablespoon of organic strawberry jam. That's what I have every morning for breakfast, so I can't function.
Speaker 3:That's so good. I love that.
Speaker 2:It's so good, yeah, okay, what are you reading right now?
Speaker 3:Oh my God, I've been trying to get through Anna Karenina for the last six months.
Speaker 3:I've never seen him hold a book for so long it's so it's not hard to read like it's just stylistically, like he described, cutting grass for like eight pages and I was like I'm gonna throw this book out the window. But I also think I like shot myself in the foot a little bit because when I bought it I was like I bought the cheapest, like shittiest paperback version that was there was on Amazon, because I was like I don't know if I'm going to finish this, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a nice version. So I got this shitty version with the thinnest pages and this ink that if I hold it open the ink smears off.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:And the font is this small and I'm like maybe this is just not a good experience because of that.
Speaker 2:That feels very off-brand for you I know it does.
Speaker 3:It's not on-brand for me. Usually I buy the nice thing but I was like it's this big, but I feel like I have all those Tolstoys and whatever. I feel like I read and I read recreationally but there's a lot of those classics that I haven't hit. And I saw the movie Anna Karenina with what's her name, the Girl from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 2:Oh, come on. Scarlett Johansson, keira Knightley.
Speaker 1:It was amazing.
Speaker 3:If you haven't seen the movie with Keira Knightley, watch it. It's beautiful.
Speaker 1:But usually Leo grabs a book and he's done with it after one flight. This book has been like it looks like that's like a brick. It looks like a brick.
Speaker 3:It looks like it's been through hell and back. It's like peeling. It's like the pages are all messed up. But I'm trying. I'm trying. I did buy a new book, though I'm probably going to read that first. Okay, it's called in tongues. I want you to get through, anna karenina have you finished?
Speaker 2:I've never read anna karenina so what do you think if he finishes it? Because I think I I'm always really impressed when although not surprised that you're reading that. Um, I think it's really important to read and I think it really makes you smarter and I think it's good for your brain and I think that most of the really smart people are often doing like will often answer a question like that, like, oh Leo, what are you reading Anna Karenina? Like that's trying to.
Speaker 3:I really only read it on flights because, like I tried, I tried for flights to be like the one time that I'm not on a screen.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 3:Because my screen time is astronomically through the roof. It's like really unhealthy. I actually paid for an app that like blocks Instagram and like Twitter and stuff on my phone now during certain hours, because it's that bad. But on a plane, I'm like this is the one place where I can like be disconnected. Even then, sometimes, like I have to log into the Wi-Fi and like do some stuff for you, like launch a tour.
Speaker 1:For me.
Speaker 3:For us, for us, but like, anyway, that's what I've been trying to get through Anna Karenina on these planes and like in the lounge or whatever.
Speaker 2:I want to hear we're going to circle back to that.
Speaker 3:Good luck. I'm like barely halfway through.
Speaker 1:That's fine, I'm not reading any Anna Koran or any Anna Tolstoy.
Speaker 2:You're reading the Koran.
Speaker 1:And Frank, I'm reading none of. I take everything I have to read an email, so I'm currently not reading any books.
Speaker 2:You are reading.
Speaker 1:Actually, rabbi Manos Friedman just sent me a book. It's very thin, with big font. I'm going to read that. Okay, what are you reading? Freeman just sent me a book and I'm. It's very thin, with big font I'm gonna read that. Okay, what are you reading?
Speaker 2:I um the last book I read was um a visit from the tooth fairy. Ari had one of his last teeth fall out and I read him oh, that's cute yeah, and then I snuck in and I gave you what's the going rate for a tooth these days?
Speaker 2:well, you'd be surprised um I don't know I gave him 20 bucks, wow, and well, I feel like I got like five which, yeah, and I wrote like I made this, I made like a little like drawing and I you know of like a picture of a tooth with like a mustache saying I heard you lost a big ass tooth. And then there's like a little tooth that said, yes, do you get extra if there was a lot of blood and he can't cause he, it was like bleeding.
Speaker 2:And then he came into my bedroom in the morning and he said the I got this from the tooth fairy. It's a cool drawing. He goes apparently you don't get extra for blood because I only got 20 last time, I got 23.
Speaker 3:Oh my god is that his last one?
Speaker 2:that's the tooth it might be his last one yeah, did you?
Speaker 1:I remember having like loose teeth and you play with it I hated it, I hated it, I remember yeah, I can feel it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh god it falls out falls out. I hate, teeth stuff. I don't love it. Where do you dance?
Speaker 1:where don't we dance? We dance everywhere. There's good music we went out this weekend we went out this weekend and we saw Honey Dijon oh. I saw that we were in.
Speaker 3:Honey.
Speaker 1:Dijon in ware. Yeah, we are in honey, dijon, we dance in warehouses in bushwick. That's where we dance warehouses in brooklyn, bushwick and yes, that's where we dance well, this one's fire island that's in fire island. We dance in. Uh, you guys dance a lot, we dance yeah we actually who's your dream date?
Speaker 2:like you can't say each other, that's boring.
Speaker 3:Dream date, like romantically or like.
Speaker 2:Yes, pick somebody dead if you have to.
Speaker 1:No, no, what's your future?
Speaker 3:dream date? I don't know.
Speaker 1:I don't know either Dream date.
Speaker 3:You can't skip like one of the most fun questions because you're only interested. Is it like what we are doing, like as an activity, or like?
Speaker 2:you can answer it however you want.
Speaker 1:I think the idea is that it's like I don't like this question next question so if I don't have to go, if modi was not on this planet a date where you're looking to have sex afterwards. It's a date just to go on a date.
Speaker 2:It could be anything. I'm not sure that it's not. Who would be my dream date? Like in, like another world, if the two of you didn't?
Speaker 3:I don't like this game. Next question oh, that's really cute.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, we're not going to skip the best question. Was it the best question? Because it's like a little bit titillating.
Speaker 1:I thought breakfast was better than this question.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Like I could say, like my dream date was Anyone but Guy. No, that's his dream date. Is anybody but me?
Speaker 3:His dream date? Is you going on a date with someone and leaving them out?
Speaker 2:My dream date was probably, like you know, something like Philip Roth or something Really Philip Roth.
Speaker 3:The writer. I read your book.
Speaker 2:Somebody read my book. He's what Alan Dershowitz is to law, philip Roth is to books, books.
Speaker 3:I got you. Okay, maybe I should read Roth next. I haven't read any books, oh he's fantastic. I'm sure he would be like canceled if he were I think a dream date would be like I don't know, but we're on your yacht, okay, I don't have to do anything. There's a sunset, some champagne. I'm a simple boy, simple boy.
Speaker 1:I can't think of anybody. I'm more thinking of activity.
Speaker 2:So forget somebody, let's say an activity. Then Leo would like to go on a yacht.
Speaker 3:Or I want to go with you to the Maldives, but I'm working on that. That's not happening anymore I know, because they banned Israeli passports.
Speaker 1:They banned Israeli passports to the Maldives.
Speaker 3:Those anti-Semites, the Mamish anti-Semites.
Speaker 2:We're not going there anymore. Unbelievable, that's incredible.
Speaker 3:It's really yeah.
Speaker 1:It's really insane but that be a different episode. So no, I can't, I really don't think. A dream, a dream date is a comfortable restaurant. Where you don't feel comfortable restaurant yeah, it's not noisy, you can read the menu, uh, uh. Or. Or, you know, at the beach, oh, in a tent on the beach, a tent oh, I need to buy a new beach tent actually no, no, we have the house.
Speaker 1:Yeah, um, we i't know. Leo, when we had the Fire Island house, he bought this tent that you put sand in these two poles and you sit inside there.
Speaker 3:It was like a real sturdy tent. It was like a shelter.
Speaker 1:And the wind's coming in and it's just like it was so magical and you just go for a walk and you come back and you have your tent. You talk about the sun, so the beach you want to be on a yacht and he wants to be in a tent on the beach yeah, I always want to be on a yacht.
Speaker 2:Look on the right beach and that's some like refugee camp, okay, um, okay, I don't know what my dream date is. I think I've aged out of dream dates.
Speaker 1:No, no, you can't age out of dream dates.
Speaker 3:What do you think about love? It's a hell of a drug. Oh, oh, love and other drugs. Featuring Anne Hathaway, also a great movie.
Speaker 2:You seem to have a lot of movies.
Speaker 3:I don't know they're just coming to me right now.
Speaker 2:What do you think about love I?
Speaker 1:appreciate it. I mean I love it. It's I love it, it's I love is just, it's a, it's an amazing feeling. Yeah, it's a feeling you should have to everybody, you should have towards everybody, but it's hard to it's and it feels so right Again. Moshiach energy.
Speaker 2:I think that it really can be intoxicating.
Speaker 3:It really is.
Speaker 2:Love and laughing are like two of the best feelings in the world, I think.
Speaker 3:And laughing can lead to love.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3:Very true.
Speaker 2:I'm sure that if Dr K were here, he would say that there are hormones released when you laugh.
Speaker 3:That's the previous episode.
Speaker 1:Not just him, any doctor. There are hormones that get released when you laugh. Yeah, what's the difference between a vitamin and a hormone?
Speaker 2:What.
Speaker 1:You can make a vitamin, you can't make a vitamin.
Speaker 3:Not you messing up the punchline.

Speaker 2:Okay, so you went to someone else.
Speaker 1:No.

Speaker 2:No, this is to people that were not a guy. Your hair looks great, thank you, so does yours. Do you guys see the same person?
Speaker 1:No no.
Speaker 2:But we usually do, but this weekend it wasn't Now. I remember you had a haircut that you had to return a couple of years ago in Miami. Remember that, oh my.
Speaker 3:God, that was horrific. I was butchered. I was in shock. They're lucky I didn't super malpractice. That's how bad that haircut was. I was like how do you mess this up? I was in, was he?
Speaker 1:drunk, I clocked the other salon across the street and I go.
Speaker 3:I told Modi with my eyes that I was not okay.
Speaker 1:I was like I said come with me. And we walked across the street and I said, hi, we need a haircut. And the guy looked. This guy looked at him and we were in the gayest area in the world we're in the place called Wilton Manor in Fort Lauderdale and the guy took him and gave him an amazing haircut.
Speaker 2:Hilarious is probably. I wonder if that guy's getting a lot of traffic from the city guy across the street Probably Boomerang effect.
Speaker 1:I can't believe how bad that haircut was.
Speaker 2:What's my beauty secret? I don't have a beauty secret. I smoked a lot of cigarettes.
Speaker 1:You stopped smoking. Yeah, that's a beauty secret. That have a beauty secret. I smoked a lot of cigarettes. You stopped smoking. Yeah, that's a beauty secret.
Speaker 2:That's a beauty secret. Yeah, I don't know, it doesn't age anybody well.
Speaker 3:Smoking is disgusting.
Speaker 2:It's so gross.
Speaker 3:It's such a turn off. I hate the smell. I hate everything about cigarettes.
Speaker 2:I love cigarettes.
Speaker 3:Now the kids are doing zins. Have you heard about this?
Speaker 2:No, what's that?
Speaker 3:They're these? Well, they're doing these like little nicotine pouches. It's not tobacco, it's just like pure nicotine. That you like, suck on it.
Speaker 2:That's disgusting.
Speaker 3:It's supposed to give you, like, a little head rush.
Speaker 2:I don't want a head rush. I love everything about smoking.
Speaker 1:I know the romance visually in a movie, yapping with another smoker and staring at the traffic.
Speaker 3:I've never smoked a cigarette, not once.
Speaker 2:You don't need to, it's not for you.
Speaker 3:It's not for me, it's not for you.
Speaker 2:I was in a movie with Brooke Shields.
Speaker 1:I was in a movie with Brooke Shields. You were it's called the Perfect Husband or the Italian husband.
Speaker 2:How do I not know this?
Speaker 1:Well, now you do. And my role was like the son of the restaurant owner or something. I had to smoke and I never smoked before and I literally learned on set how to smoke. But I thought on set they give you fake cigarettes. No, it was a real cigarette. This was a thousand years ago.
Speaker 3:This was before.
Speaker 1:SAG. Yes, I was, sa, was sag, but I was like this is so and you could fake it. But I was like, no, but like, and then I like choking outside. Finally I inhaled and I go oh, that'll go, okay, you just breathe while. But and I figured it out, and then I and I, I looked good yeah, there's.
Speaker 2:First of all, you understand that we're writing a book that are stories about you yeah but you don't think that, like shooting a movie with brook shields was something like maybe to share?
Speaker 1:okay, my role was so small in it.
Speaker 2:You know how many people in on planet earth can say that they shot a movie with brook shields?
Speaker 3:pretty baby documentary featuring brook shields also great. You should watch that.
Speaker 2:Okay, next question I remember growing up thinking that brook shields was like the most gorgeous person.
Speaker 3:No, so in that documentary it's about that, how she was just like such a stunning child and kid and teenager and adult. And then they. But the thing that's interesting about that documentary is that they they explain how that period of time, specifically in the 80s, the world only had the bandwidth or like the capacity to remember like eight famous people at any given time and she was always one of the eight like right when like tabloids and stuff were a thing but like social media and the internet wasn't like that sweet spot where it was like Michael Jackson, brooke Shields and like Madonna and it was just like a rotating cast of like the same eight people but she had like a pretty fixed place on the rotation. She was always there.
Speaker 2:And it's like a fucked up story if I oh yeah, it's messed up right. Yeah, I never, it's not cute um, okay, how did they shoot mad men? Did you guys watch that show?
Speaker 3:I watched it. Someone with that just came up recently mad men the old one or the new one?
Speaker 1:I didn't know, there was both, or mad men, yeah because they're just smoking constantly on that show. Oh we're watching. We've been watching that non-stop. Now we've we just watched. Um, what did we watch? They had so much smoking they couldn't stop smoking. Oh, wow, but oh, the with the duchess, and uh, the duchess these time, these time pieces yeah it was the duchess when she killed him or, I have no idea, killed her maybe that was a fever dream in these movies where they smoke non-stop I were.
Speaker 3:I'm what guy and I are watching mad men out and they smoke non-stop yeah um, they have to be real cigarettes yeah, I thought they were fake, I don't know I mean, it seems impossible yeah okay, um leo, this is your moment to really shine.
Speaker 2:What's your favorite movie?
Speaker 3:oh, that's hard, I don't it's. I mean, the one that always comes to mind that I use for this question is the curious case of Benjamin Button, Because I remember I was in like I went, I saw it in theaters and it was the first and I was in high school I guess I had to have been in high school because it was in Georgia and I remember being in the theater and I remember the movie ending and the lights coming up and being like that was a movie. Like Cate Blanchett acts her ass off in that movie and I was like that's when she became one of my favorite actresses. And now anything kate blanchett is in wow, love, there's an oscar wilde book.
Speaker 2:Um, about that, too right. It's about like aging in reverse. I forgot what it's called.
Speaker 3:It's a really good movie. It's very long, but it's very good and brad pitt's in it, it's like it's great. No, it's not nothing too harsh okay just about like mortality and the passage of time what love?
Speaker 2:what's your favorite movie? I?
Speaker 1:don't even think I have one. I love fiddle on the roof. The movie was so good um, I don't really have a favorite movie that I fiddle around the roof will do yeah, so that's. That's it, I guess.
Speaker 2:Fill in the roof I think that mine, if I had to pick one, is probably like good fellas yeah, that's also a good one. I I don't have are you interested in furniture?
Speaker 1:actually yes, very much so increasingly so same, same I think more.

Speaker 2:Nice, leo, very nice. This is funny because Andy Warhol wrote these questions probably in 1969. Do you have a TV?
Speaker 3:Do I have a TV? Yes, yes.
Speaker 2:What do you? Yeah, that was like a question.
Speaker 3:We don't have a TV in the bedroom, though I'm very against that. I think it's bad energy.
Speaker 2:We don't have a TV in the bedroom either. What do you love about new york city?
Speaker 3:oh, so many things the walkability, um, the people watching the style. That is one thing. New york gets on my nerves sometimes, but when you I'm saying this as I'm like dressed in like nike pants and like a sneaker, but when you you leave New York and you're in like the mid what, like some B tier city, you're like, oh, this is like if an urban outfitters became sentient, that's what everyone's wearing and walking around here, you get like yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:First of all, the fact that you're wearing Nike pants doesn't mean that you're not. You're also wearing like a super chic Prada workout shirt, so you can be wearing like sport gear and still be stylish.
Speaker 1:But it's a different type of stylish and chicness. It's like this thing that everything goes and they match it really well. But the fun part about New York City the thing all about New York City is that there's escapes. The city's filthy and loud and noisy and disgusting, but then you escape into some like restaurant and you think you're in, you could be anywhere, you're, you're. You're like, wow, it's like a movie set. But you walk into, uh, you, you're. All of a sudden you're in a comedy club downstairs in a basement watching Jerry Seinfeld, ray Romano, me and whoever else is coming into that show. And then you go back into the city. But once you get back up there, since you're in the city, your text messages are blowing up Nine of the things happening.
Speaker 1:You can go meet us everywhere.
Speaker 3:That's the beauty of New York.
Speaker 1:When you live in LA. You finish the activity for the night, you're done, that's it. Get in your car, drive home, you walk out of the club, you walk out of wherever there's nothing there. There's nobody there, there's two guys, valley parking, and then that's it. The night's over. You just walk half a block and there's a whole other world happening.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's. My favorite thing about New York City is that I think that it is the one of maybe the only place in the world that, at any moment, anything can happen to make all of your dreams come true.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's constantly unfolding itself to you.
Speaker 1:Like you can never eat at every restaurant, you can never see every bar you can never like you're never going to finish it, even though it's like a pretty small constant keep changing, because and it keeps changing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like sometimes you go, you're like you have a walk down a block in a little bit and like all the stores have changed and like all the stores have changed, everything has changed and it's it's fun and it's crazy yeah, yeah, but it is a hard.
Speaker 1:But there's a price. The sirens, the, the garbage, the rats, the it's.
Speaker 2:That's the price of it, that's that wasn't a question what the price?
Speaker 1:of it is you're right. Okay, that's what I love about new york city, yeah um.
Speaker 2:Do you keep a diary?
Speaker 1:I write out my intentions.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:I don't keep a diary. Yeah, it's kind of like a journaling practice, yeah.
Speaker 2:You encourage me to do that. What are you most proud of?
Speaker 1:Marrying Leo. Most proud of mine is finding Leo and realizing that this is the best thing that's ever gonna happen. You hear that folks and let go and let god and, and then and then love, which is your other question.
Speaker 2:Yes, definitely proud of my relationship with leo I think we could end there, even though there are a few more questions, I think that's a perfect place to um should I go through our shows?
Speaker 1:yes yes please, thank you. Sorry we are, it's not, I'm just uh, fun, fun again. Those of you who listen to the podcast, that just it's just a little mind numbingness.
