- Hey! - Whoa! - I'm back.
- I don't care.
I didn't mean to break up with you on a street corner.
Sorry.
I kinda felt it that time.
Congrats on being a human being.
Even getting an audition at The Cellar is a really, really big deal.
The right people see me, maybe I tour, maybe I open for somebody.
Pete Holmes! You guys pee in the pool? It is one of the truest acts of freedom to stand three feet away from a stranger, just like, "What's going on?" Thank you, Cellar! Whoo! Thank you.
That was a good set.
You're not ready.
I have plenty of white guys talking about nothing.
I was on a train once, man, and, uh, this kid hopped on the train with a box of candy.
And he looked at everybody and was like, "Hey everybody! My name's Reggie.
I'm raising money for my community center I am.
It'd mean a lot if you just, you know, help me out, with whatever you got, it would mean a lot.
Man, no one gave him any money, nobody.
I know, it's pretty sad! Honest kid, trying to make a living, you know? And he was doing something charitable, right? And that's when he got mad.
He was like, "You know what? I could be out killing y'all, but I'm not!" And then everybody pulled out money.
They were like, "All right, you can have it.
" And he was like, "Nah, it's too late! It's too late!" "Nah, the Twizzler Strangler's back!" You had your chance! Thank you guys so much for coming to the latest installment of Dirty Loads.

My second relationship ever, so kind of.
- Whoa.
How long were you married? - Yeah.
- Seven years.
- Who cheated? She, uh, she did actually.
How did you know that? Well, I'm an actuary.
That's a statistic, and, like, that's my job.
You're a statistic.
- No offense.
- No, I like being called a statistic.
- What do you mean? - It's just Okay, so seven years into a first marriage? - Yes.
- That's infidelity.
Especially if it lines up with the prime reproductive years, which for women is 25 to 29.
She was She was 29.
Well, at least she waited till the end.
Dude.
Fuck! What? That's nuts! - Yeah! - That's crazy! So now my company would give you a higher life insurance quote, because divorced men live shorter lives and so you're higher risk for us.
Oh, great.
I have been feeling sluggish.
Don't worry.
A guy your age you just remarry, and then you'll be right back at average.
We have a winner.
Will you come help me? Uh, yeah.
- In there? - Mmm-hmm.
Okay, turn around please.
It's, like, a quick little top.
- What are we doing? - Well, I am trying on a dress, and in three seconds, you're gonna come over and help me zip it.
- Ready? - Yeah.
What do you think? Yeah, that looks amazing.
Yeah? It's cute, but I think we can do better.
Not like I could, but I could give you a piggy-back ride.
- That's weird.
- What? I had a dream about a whale last night.
- You're kidding.
- No.
You dreamt about a whale and now there's a whale right here? I mean, it wasn't turquoise.
Didn't say, "Sail," but That's serendipitous! That means you're right where you're supposed to be.
Do you believe that? Let's go.
- Going in the whale store? - Hell yeah.
- Can I? - Mmm-hmm.
- Should I lock it? - I would.
I don't have a condom.
Oh, okay, I'm okay.
Are you okay? - Yeah, totally, A-plus.
- Okay.
Okay.
How's it going in there? Yeah, it fits good.
Thank you.
We got some hats.
What are we doing? Don't use words.
- I'm thinking words, I'm thinking words.
- Shh! Don't use words.
I'm thinking words right now, I'm defining it.
Don't use words, just, um, use a color.
That was very green.
- You think it was green? - Yeah.
I think it was yellow.
I would love to yellow, anytime.
Here.
I will green you whenever.
- Great.
- Yeah.
- The food is awful.
- Awful.
Who died? Anthrax, they killed this lox with Anthrax.
- It's like a shiva call.
- Is that egg salad? Oh hey, man! Pete, you found us.
I didn't know there'd be food.
I ate on the way.
Jewish event.
There can't not be food.
Jewish comedy has to follow a feeding.
Has to.
And that's Modi, he's the other comedian.
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
Should I be wearing the ? No.
No, they're not paying enough for us to wear yarmulkes.
Hello.
I'm Shoshanna Ginsburg, I'm the cochair of the event.
I was the chair last year and the year before that, but I wasn't even gonna do it this year, but they begged me.
- And you are? - That's Pete.
- He's gonna also do the show.
- I'm Pete.
Hello.
Oh, well, he told me all about you, Elon did, and, uh, I'm sure it's gonna work out.
- Is there anything I can get you guys? - A check.
He's serious.
Oh, you guys crack me up.
Well, I'm gonna leave you alone to your comedy.
- Thank you.
- Mazel tov.
- For leaving.
- Oy.
It's like getting the life sucked out of you before a show.
- It's the worst.
- The worst! Ugh! - She was cochair, you know.
- She's cochair? She should hang herself off a chair.
Wow, this is just even fruit they ruin.
- How do you screw up fruit? - It doesn't even look fresh.
- It's not doing it.
- Wow.
Why so nervous? Haven't you ever done comedy before? I I don't know, I just blew my Cellar audition, so I don't know if I can take another rejection.
It's gonna be great, trust me.
Modi's gonna go up first.
He's so, like, Jew-y, you'll be a breath of fresh, gentile air.
- Gentile air that's the deodorant I use.
- Yes.
You should use that, that's good.
Be the goy that you are.
Don't try to be Jew-y on stage.
Right, right.
Sorry.
- You're eating this? - I'm gonna have fruit.
What's going on over there? Uh, nothing.
- "Nothing.
" - Nobody says, "Nothing.
" Whenever you say, "Nothing," it's always something.
Don't make us beg, just tell us.
Yeah, what do you got there? It was a It's a girl.
- Oh! - Mmm! - Somebody I met today, actually.
- Nice, nice! - Very nice! And? What happened? - Good for you! I don't want to kiss and tell.
It was just, you know - You already kissed her? - We had sex.
- Oh! - In a dressing room.
- What? - Wow.
And then again in a bathroom, on a changing table.
- Two times? - In one day.
It's a double shtup.
Oh, my God.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
You had sex with a girl you met today - in a dressing room? - Yeah.
I thought you were a religious guy.
I mean, that face is definitely a little Episcopalian.
I know it seems a little fast, but we you know, we really connected.
It was I don't want to say it was love at first sight, but, you know - I'm sure it was.
Wow.
- I think this might be my person.
- You want to take this? - You got it.
I'm not doing anything with this.
I can't handle it.
- Go ahead.
- All right.
Pete I'm glad you had this exciting experience, this thing that happened that you thought would never happen to you.
It's exciting, you know? But the sense I get is maybe you're just a little bit lost.
- I mean - You're all over the place.
Pick a lane.
In the moment, you know, it made a lot of sense.
'Cause she played with your balls.
- That's what I'm talking about.
- But but why? I don't understand.
Why can't I be this guy? Why can't I do this a little bit? - 'Cause you're not - Maybe I met this girl for a reason.
Right, or maybe you're here with us for a reason.
There's a Hebrew expression, which Gam Zu L'Tova, which means, "Even this is for the best.
" Yeah, like, maybe you took this gig 'cause you got nothing else going on, whatever.
I'm sure you didn't expect to be doing a shul gig tonight, but, uh here you are.
Maybe you need to be having this conversation with us.
Maybe it's God reaching out to you.
No pressure, just be open to it.
Okay, if everybody could find a seat, we could get going.
First of all, I want to remind everybody let's silence your cell phones, and no flash photography at today's event.
Um, all right, so before we start, uh, today's comedy show, as many of you are aware, Leon Schwartz passed away earlier this week from colon cancer.
Uh, his family will be sitting shiva all week at their home.
So who's ready for some comedy? I can think of no better way to celebrate Leon's life, to honor him, but to celebrate and have a few laughs.
Can we do that? I think we can.
Now now Elon and Modi were here three years ago, and people are still talking about it.
So it is my pleasure to welcome them back.
Take it away, Modi! Thank you, Rabbi.
Colon cancer! That's how you bring me up here.
There goes my colonoscopy joke.
Shot to Hell! And those of you, you know that the laws of burial In the Jewish religion when somebody dies, we bury them right away.
Whoosh! In the ground.
There's no messing around.
Bam! It's not gonna get any better, is it? In Florida, when the old people take a nap, they wake up, "No! No! Put the shovel away! What's wrong with you?" It's, uh it's wonderful to be here.
Thanks for having me.
Obviously, I'm your guest.
I'm not I'm not Jewish.
I don't know if you can tell by looking at everything.
Just all of this.
I'm six-foot, six.
I kind of look like Goliath if he went to prep school.
Does that make sense? I see a lot of empty seats.
Are you all saving a seat for Elijah? Or is that He's good.
I do know a lot about the Old Testament, or as you guys call it, the whole story.
I think we should get along more.
Jews and Christians should get along.
My book is 70 percent your book.
We agree on most of my book.
We just differ on the ending.
It's like Lord of the Rings.
We both agree on Fellowship of the Ring.
We all love the Two Towers.
We just love Return of the King, and you guys are like, "Wrong king!" What else? Um You guys get a bad rap for being unathletic.
I don't understand that.
You've been athletic for thousands of years.
Moses climbed a mountain to talk to God.
Folks, God is everywhere.
This guy's going on an elective hike just because he gets a few more bars up in the hills.
That's commitment! Then God gives him the Ten Commandments.
Does he write it down? No, he chisels it! In heavy stone! He made those commandments nice and smooth, baby.
That's a man's man! That takes grit! And then he hiked down, holding the weights.
That's weight-training, folks.
That's CrossFit.
Then he gets down, is he tired? He's not tired.
He still has enough chutzpah to kick over a golden calf.
That's right, chutzpah! I googled a lot of this.
I kugel-ed it.
Um - Oh my God, she showed up.
- Oh, wow.
I hope this shul doesn't have a dressing room.
Well, we definitely have a bathroom.
I was honored to get this gig.
It came through an e-mail.
Actually, an e-mohel.
That's an e-mail, but they cut off the subject.
Some people say it's cruel, but it's tradition.
Thank you guys very much.
This was wonderful! I really appreciate it.
Have a good night! And keep it going for the very funny Elon Gold! Everybody, Elon Gold! Here's what I love about Judaism.
Judaism is the only religion that doesn't try to recruit new members.
Yeah.
Probably 'cause we know we can't get any.
I mean, what's the selling point there, exactly, right? Sorry, can I squeeze in? Tired of that excess flap of skin on your schmeckle? - Hi.
- Hey.
- I know.
- I thought you had a bachelorette party.
I just wanted to see you.
I wanted to see you live.
Want to stop eating three of the most delicious foods on the planet? Bacon, cheeseburgers, and bacon double-cheeseburgers? Or perhaps you're ready to give up eating altogether, and would enjoy partaking in one of our numerous fast days? Well, then, Judaism's just for you.
No, I'm happy to be here, very happy to be here.
- Wonderful.
- Thank you, guys.
- Good night.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Thanks, guys.
So where's your lady friend? She's smoking a cigarette, I think.
I don't know.
I can't believe she showed up.
- Yeah, she surprised me.
- Mm.
Good night.
Nice to meet you.
- There she is! - Uh-oh! - My boys! Oh, you were wonderful! - Thank you.
- And, Pete.
- Oh.
I think you have a real future in the religious markets.
- Really? - And I know people.
So I'm gonna make a call for you.
Oh, my God, that would be amazing.
Thank you.
See? Gam Zu L'Tova, everything happens for a reason.
- Thank you, guys.
- Good times! - Good, good.
- You don't even know how much I needed this.
This this felt really natural.
It was great.
Oh, uh, the rabbi.
I spoke to him about you.
- The rabbi? - Yeah, yeah.
He's a brilliant guy.
Like, you know, not just religion.
He's studied philosophy, psychiatry.
He's like a spiritual genius.
Anyway, I told him about our conversation, and that you were I didn't say, "lost," but I said, I don't know, - He's "questioning and grappling.
" - Yeah, yeah.
He said he would love to sit down with you.
When? Now.
- He wants to talk now? - Yeah.
You should meet with the rabbi.
It's a big deal.
It's like getting a table at Il Mulino's.
I think he could give you some clarity.
- Absolutely.
- Cool.
- Uh-oh! - Hey, you had a good laugh, Herb? So, where is Pete?
