Modi 0:38

Yeah, yeah, but we're not going to get through all of them I've shown you these videos on.

Leo 0:41

Modi 0:51

We'll start and maybe one will take us off on a tangent. I like that. Yeah, look how good your hair looks.

Leo 0:53

I scheduled a haircut for tonight. Wow, for israel, I need a haircut too.

Modi 0:57

Okay, yeah, let's go. I scheduled it for 9 pm, oh my god, they come to you. No, no, I go to him, but okay they're late okay, okay, let's go, let's do these questions. Okay, enough with these right now.

Periel 1:09

What's your favorite time of day?

Leo 1:11

oh great question whenever it's time to get in that bed. That's my favorite time really that's it.

Modi 1:18

I don't know. I lately I've been enjoying, um, I've been waking up before leo I I always get hard to do no, I know but, and I have my, I'm quiet in the house and I make my coffee and I sit there and I'm alone. Before I do my prayers, I go over, I pretend to understand what's going on with the emails, and then, and then I have no idea and like just that moment before Leo wakes, up and the day goes to shit, and the day goes and shit and the day goes and then the day starts.

Modi 1:47

It's like a, it's like that a moment.

Periel 1:50

What time? What time is that so it?

Modi 1:52

depends. It's nine, sometimes it's seven, sometimes it's like even six, it depends. If I can't sleep, I get out of bed. I'm not going to just kitzel around in the bed.

Periel 2:00

Right right. Yeah in the bed, right, right, yeah, and it's just. I've been enjoying that that time. It's been fun. Now, before you answered, does he futz around in the emails and then, like you, don't know who answered what?

Leo 2:11

no, no, he doesn't answer, he'll just look, he'll just take a peek and then, but you've gotten better, like you've you'll see them come in on your phone you'll be like, hey, I saw someone emailed and I kind of do emails in segments, like I try not to look at them throughout the day, because, like, if we're out and about in the city and I'm in the back of an Uber, I try not to open my emails, because then if I see something that needs to get done, it's going to stress me out until I can get home and do it, but you look at them throughout the day, so you'll see them as they come in and I'll be like I haven't looked at it yet.

Leo 2:42

I need to see it when I get home. I need to sign something, I need to do this, I need to send them a link that I don't have.

Modi 2:47

Yeah, I know, but like I I've been, I always look at this to see what the emails are. I I answered one but my phone didn't answer, but it didn't send it from the you hear that folks modi answered an email it didn't answer from info mori livecom and answer from my own personal account.

Leo 3:03

I think it's because I need to re-log in to your phone. Wait a second.

Periel 3:06

I walked in and I hear him going to the person on the phone I don't understand where you got that email from. It's the wrong email. I have no idea where that came from. And then the person on the phone goes you wrote to me from that email yesterday.

Leo 3:23

Okay, so that's what it is.

Modi 3:26

It's funny because I decided to not be involved in emails when I found out some very successful guy that I know that was his thing. He doesn't do emails. He's like a billionaire.

Leo 3:38

He's also now out of business.

Modi 3:40

He also recently went out of business. So, okay, never mind. Modi saw hope. And then I saw hope. I said, man, this is a great thing to not have to deal with emails.

Leo 3:50

You don't need to do it. I can do it, but there's just.

Periel 3:52

You know okay it was so funny once when he goes. You know this thing with the emails it's like they come in and then you have to write back like immediately horrible constantly okay, what's your favorite time of day?

Leo 4:03

when it's time to go to bed. What?

Periel 4:05

what time is it time to go to bed again?

Leo 4:08

depends when we're on the road or what we have going on. My favorite time of day is when I'm home and showered and I'm in my sleeping clothes, my pajamas yeah, your jammies clean. That's the happiest I am. The throughout the whole day is that period of time between shower clean baby yeah, we call it clean baby time because you know when you're on vacation, like at the beach or something yeah and the baby's been like playing in the sand all day and they're like disgusting.

Leo 4:33

And then you bathe them and they come out and they're so cute and they smell nice and they go say good night to everyone and they're just like clean and cute.

Modi 4:40

That's me when I'm clean baby yeah, he likes to be clean baby.

Leo 4:44

I like to be clean baby right before going to sleep or showered, and everything moisturized.

Modi 4:48

Moisturized, of course.

Periel 4:49

I did not doubt that for a second. And then how long are you in bed like futzing around, like watching with the phone?

Leo 4:55

no, no, then clean, baby goes to the sofa and we watch whatever we have to watch like. Rupaul's Drag Race and then.

Modi 5:03

I've been watching Mary and George.

Leo 5:05

Mary and George is very good Mary, and George is very good Julianne.

Modi 5:08

Moore is a treasure. She's stunning.

Leo 5:11

But then I would have to take off the patch to go smoke a cigarette, which is so disgusting. I've smoked, I've not smoked.

Modi 8:27

I don't smoke, but I've been outside with David Tell when he smokes and it's so funny, he does his whole routine. He talks to you while he's doing it and then like if anybody else walks by he'll offer them a cigarette if they want to join.

Leo 8:45

He'll, anybody, people he doesn't know, you know, have a cigarette, American spirits. That's a social aspect of smoking. It's a social aspect 100%. We've discussed this.

Leo 12:02

Yes, is that? I'm the funny one? We've discussed that.

Periel 12:07

I think people know that.

Leo 12:10

Let me think about it. What is something people don't know about you, about me?

Modi 12:16

People don't know about me. It's all out there.

Periel 12:20

No, I feel like the opposite is true about you.

Leo 12:28

I love to drive. I drive. Modi does like to drive. He gets enjoyment out of driving enjoyment out of driving.

Modi 12:33

I do, even though we've been having car services take us to gigs that I could be driving to, but yeah but I love to drive.

Leo 12:40

I like being driven and I like when you're being driven too, so you can sit in the back with me and we can not talk or talk and I can watch you on.

Modi 12:47

Twitter. I can watch you all over Twitter just for hours. You should see when he's on Twitter and then all of a sudden it's like 45 minutes has gone by. He's like ugh, he just puts it down.

Leo 12:58

There's like smoke coming out of my phone Out of your phone.

Modi 13:01

Out of your phone, out of your ears.

Periel 13:03

You don't participate in those conversations, you just rage.

Leo 13:07

I just get really deep in there, especially now that of what's happening in israel, and like I'm trying to like be educated, but then so like I try to see what the other side is seeing, like like, for example, the, the hostages that were just rescued.

Periel 13:25

Right.

Leo 13:26

I've seen multiple accounts let's call them accounts that are critical of Israel.

Periel 13:33

Okay, let's call them that yeah.

Leo 13:37

Multiple accounts say that three hostages were killed in that rescue operation, and I haven't seen that anywhere. I haven't seen that in Fox. I haven't seen it in MSNBC. I haven't seen it on cnn, I know, but so these people are. There's like so much misinformation yeah, floating around.

Periel 13:52

What I said was is that it must be very frustrating, because I thought that the um hostages were zionist propaganda, so it must be very that they didn't exist.

Leo 14:02

So it must be sort of frustrating when suddenly they actually show up yeah, and then people were saying they're not hostages, they're prisoners of war. I was like these kids were in a music festival, like what are you? Saying war, it's like it's anyway, that's why I get so sucked into it. It's like an anger spiral.

Modi 14:19

No, he goes into the comments, into the all that stuff, and reason all that I, I can't function on Twitter. I don't know Twitter.

Periel 14:25

I don't, I can't Twitter I when I'm on.

Leo 14:27

TikTok, it's pickles and gizmo.

Periel 14:29

That's when I'm on Twitter.

Leo 14:31

It's like conflict in the middle east yeah, those are the two okay, and you, what's your?

Periel 14:36

um, I think that the thing that people are usually most surprised to hear about me is that I don't really drink at all maybe you should.

Modi 14:48

Maybe you should. Jim gaffigan just sent me a lovely bottle of bourbon yeah I. I I'm not a bourbon drinker. Yeah and I. And it tastes lovely, I don't know at a bourbon. To me tastes like gasoline.

Leo 15:01

His is a little smoother, so it's a warm and cozy gasoline. It's a little dry. It's a guy, she drink.

Modi 15:08

Yeah, yeah, yeah it's not something Jews don't drink.

Periel 15:10

That really you don't really drink that much. I don't know what he'd never drink, it's just so not my vice.

Leo 15:15

What's something you'd say. People don't know about me.

Modi 15:17

About you.

Periel 15:18

That you're a little bit uptight.

Modi 15:21

That you're a little bit uptight.

Leo 15:23

What they don't know about you is that I have encyclopedic knowledge of animals.

Modi 15:28

Wow, yes, it is insane. I didn't know that.

Leo 15:33

My internal monologue is just David Attenborough all the time.

Modi 15:37

He knows everything about every animal in the world Do you like every animal?

Periel 15:43

Are you like a big animal lover?

Leo 15:45

Yeah, I mean, when I was little, my heroes were like Steve Irwin and Jack Hanna.

Periel 15:50

Oh, that's so cute, I had pajamas that were Steve Irwin pajamas. Oh my God, I would die, yeah, it was like khaki and they were like.

Leo 15:58

It looked like the khaki things that you would wear, but they were pajamas and it had like a name tag here. Oh my God.

Periel 16:03

I have to say that pictures of you when you were little are so beyond so cute.

Modi 16:09

The cutest baby in the world.

Periel 16:10

That was really cute Clean baby.

Modi 16:19

Clean baby Leo. Clean baby leo. Um no, but it's frightening how, like well, any type of dog, he'll know exactly what type it is and what they do, what they're known for, how they go, where they go, but of a mom, every type of cat, every type of zebra, every type of everything, and he knows that how they got there this I was only allowed to watch like two things growing up.

Leo 16:33

One of them was animal planet, the other one was veggie tales.

Periel 16:36

Okay, do you know about vegetables too, then no no encyclopedic knowledge about gardens? No, okay, um, have we done this before window or aisle seat?

Leo 16:48

oh, oh, I'm aisle, he's window, I'm aisle window aisle ew they all walk by. They all walk by and sneeze on you and she smashes her card into your side you're, you can do window because I'm in the aisle seat so you can get up as needed.

Modi 17:03

But like I can get up as needed, no matter who's sitting next to me because you don't have social anxiety.

Leo 17:09

I have zero.

Modi 17:10

I will climb right over them.

Leo 17:12

I will let you remember that time we were landing and I was, for some, we were not in business.

Modi 17:18

God, what a horrible thought, oh my God, you had a panic attack back there.

Leo 17:21

Yeah, yeah, I was like I joined last minute and I think you were in front of me in business In the window.

Modi 17:27

Yeah, and I was three people in.

Leo 17:29

I was on the window seat and I had to pee so bad I told him to get up. I told him to get up.

Modi 17:38

I told the two people to get up. We were landing Right before landing when she made the announcement. We're getting ready to land.

Leo 17:41

They were in their little jump seats and I was like I don't think I'm going to be able to make it. I was like, oh my god, I'm going to pee my pants. So I had to get up and the guy was like, well, it's a little late to do that now. I was like I will piss on you right now.

Periel 17:52

Did you say that?

Leo 17:53

No.

Modi 17:53

I turned around and I said get up. I turned around and I said to the two people next to him I said get up, he's going to the bathroom and they're like, oh, this could be an incident, let's avoid. And they got up and let him go to the bathroom, anyway. So I'm usually IO, I'm IO.

Leo 18:17

Which is why you have to always sit in business. We changed flights or something we couldn't there was no, there were no seats in business do you hear how he keeps me okay?

Modi 18:26

I was there, back there. I was back there with you.

Periel 18:28

I have a question. We had no.

Modi 18:30

Uh, there were no flight, there were no seats I want you to weigh in here. Okay.

Periel 18:35

One of our closest couple friends, who I've mentioned numerous times, who the two of you have never met Nisim and Daron right.

Modi 18:43

Yes.

Periel 18:44

They have three boys.

Modi 18:45

Yep.

Periel 18:47

They are flying back to Israel for the summer. Wow, and they are in business and they're putting the boys and the nanny in economy yeah, that's fine, that's fine I thought that this was the most scandalous thing no, it's 100.

Leo 19:03

I fully agree with parents being in business kids.

Periel 19:06

Well, how old are the kids doesn't matter the twins are seven and the big ones nine but they have a nanny and nanny okay, so you're fine.

Leo 19:13

No, they're fine and they're small yeah, kids are small, they're not uncomfortable in the seats and they have a nanny with them, that's fine, it's fine, that's completely fine.

Periel 19:22

Yeah, it's fine, that's a big deal it's because you guys don't have kids period that's makes a lot.

Leo 19:28

We do not have kids period. Do not have, and then you don't have to deal with putting them in economy. We don't.

Adventurous Stories and Favorite Clothing

Periel 19:34

Okay, what's your? Well, you answered this already. What's your current TV character obsession?

Leo 19:44

Modi 20:22

Wait, what's the most adventurous thing like that, that's like a big Buying a house is adventurous no.

Leo 20:29

You mean like a trip, like a trip type of a? Thing?

Periel 20:32

Modi 20:42

Yeah, but yeah but this one was different. This is a different going on with a guy but adventurous, I have done, um, I've done crazy things, I just uh would you like to share one with the listeners? Yeah, what Well, we flew to Guantanamo Bay to do a US show. Us show story for, for the soldiers.

Modi 21:06

Right after 9-11.

This is before anything and it was insane to be there. We realized this is dangerous it wasn't dangerous being in Afghanistan but I couldn't go do USO shows in Afghanistan because my passport says born in Israel.

Modi 21:40

So all the USO shows I had to do were in America or Guantanamo Bay, cuba. So I couldn't get to Afghanistan and Pakistan, and, by the way, that's okay. I love those soldiers and I would have been happy to perform for them, but I wasn't allowed there.

Modi 21:56

Periel 22:22

Wow, okay, I think. I don't know if it's the most adventurous, but I did when I was in London, when I was in my 20s, and I had sex with this guy in the elevator of the hotel.

Leo 22:37

That's not adventurous. That's just you being a slut Next question no, I was dating him.

Modi 22:42

Modi 28:04

I do not regret the things I have done only that which I have not done.

Modi 28:15

Um, so this is favorite piece of advice I've received. There's so many. There's the one that I love from Dr Wayne Dyer when you judge somebody, you don't define them. You define yourself as someone who needs to judge. Obviously, the biggest one is bracha vatzlacha Once you help somebody, you receive the help, and that's probably the most important one. If you want help help other people, that's the main one. If you want help help other people, that's the main one. Go ahead, it's yours.

I tried doing it last night on stage us it's like a guido, but it's not Italian, it's like a. It's a guy who's a show off flashy, really guido. It's a, really guido, whatever, anyway I. So the first time I ever was in house I realized I was in house was Leo and I were doing this huge synagogue gig in Florida. And we walk in. It's a theater, it is 1,100 people packed. Yom Kippur doesn't get this many people. They had to open the back doors and it's set and it's beautiful and they've been preparing for it and they had this huge poster in the lobby and we walked in. I'm walking in with my black sweatpants and black sweatshirt and just the black hat and just walking in to go to the green room and by green room I mean the rabbi's study with all of our stuff, from our rider, the Listerine, the foam roller, all the things I need before a show.

Modi 30:26

Sneak a peek into the lobby and there is this like it must have been 13 feet tall by like I don't know how massive, huge picture of somebody in this like double-breasted suit holding his arm, look like a little injury. And I didn't see the face. I just see the teeth, the white teeth, and I go who is this ass? And I back up and I look and I look down and I look up and I see it's me. I go, leo, where is this picture from? It's one of the promo pictures from the promo shoots we've done. I go have you seen this? He goes, yeah, I go. This is an arse. And he goes to me. It's just hitting you now that you're an arse, I go, you've known he goes.
