You do have an amazing athlete name. That's a great No, it's not. Barry Rothbard. That's a great yellow. How many

How do Andrew Santino introduce Barry Rothbart and talk about his name?
Well, he's retired, but he's a buddy. He's a Jew. I was trying to change my name at some point early in
my career. Did you ever go through that? Santino was
kind of a home run, although it didn't match the face. So I'm sure like an early manager was like, You should be O'Donnell, you know what I mean?
Well I someone I met was like you should my my middle name's Ross. You know like Jeff Ross was Jeff Lift Shits. Right, yeah, Jeffrey Liftshits. Um they were like you should be Barry Ross and I actually like did it. I changed my name and then I felt so fucking lame. Dirty. That feels dirty. So lame. Yeah. It's wrong. So many people do it. I
don't know if they do it anymore, but It's funny for f if funny to change your name if it look, it makes sense if it's like remarkably difficult.
Yeah.
But to change it because what, it sounds too Jewish? Yeah. For the business? Yeah,
it's that makes almost no sense. I know, I know, man. I was like, you know, Jason Schwartzman's doing well.
Uh.
And he
he's
the
most Jewish looking guy like on earth. If you drew it you're like, draw a Jewish guy. They're like Jason Schwartzman, you're like, You got it. That's the guy. I think who like who el well, then there's guys that don't have Jew like Adam Pally. Yeah. Not a Jewish name. Doesn't really look I mean, he'll be like, Yes, I look Jewish Right. Yeah. Not in the traditional actor, Jewish actor sense. Chris Delia. Paul Rudd. Yeah. Paul Rudd. Paul Rudd is Jewish? Yeah, he's a hidden Jew. I didn't know he was Jewish. You don't know about this? That's huge. You know this, right? Yeah, Jiminy Glick. Yeah, that's right. Called him out.
Mm-hmm.
No, Galfinakis called him out. He was like, How do you How do you sleep at night avoiding being Jewish so hard?
There was also a thing about spelling. And that Galfinakis is a great example. I was like, Can people like spell Roth? But it's like who fucking cares? Who gives a shit? Who gives a shit? I'm not gonna make it anyway. It's like Like I'd rather like
fail with my name, you
know.
Than fail under the guise of someone else. Yeah. But you have made it very well. Have I? I think you've done fewer.
