Some comedians think of comedy as a higher calling, but Modi Rosenfeld knows exactly where the call came from. He points to a story of two comedians in the Talmud, men who gave cheer to those who were depressed and who made peace between those who were at war. Modi and Marc talk about this lofty purpose and how comedy is rooted in not only Jewish scripture but in the patter of the Yiddish language. Modi also explains how doing comedy shows on Zoom during Covid changed the entire trajectory of his life and career.

Hi, Backmarket hier. Die mit der erneuerten Technik, die dich weniger kostet. Wie dieser Laptop. Er kann alles, was ein Laptop so können muss. Schreiben, zocken, streamen, surfen, inkognito surfen. Einfach alles, was ein brandneuer Laptop kann. Aber der hier ist deutlich günstiger als neu. Denn er ist nicht neu. Er ist von Profis auf Herz und Nieren geprüft.
Lock the gates!
All right, let's do this. How are you, what the fuckers? What the fuck, buddies? What the fuck, nicks? What's happening? I'm Marc Maron. This is my podcast. Welcome to it. How's everybody going? How's everybody going? How's everybody doing? How you going? That's what my Australian manager says. How you going? I don't know what that is. How are you going? I don't know.
I guess I'm going the way most of us go. At some point, heart attack, cancer. But I think that's reading into it. Maybe it's just relative to the day. How's your day going? It's okay. Updates? Well, you know, I got back on Sunday. I don't know if I told you, but my cat Charlie has got this condition that apparently is stress-induced colitis. So I came home to...
Yeah, a lot of diarrhea, mystery places, just all over. He did a pretty good job on the whole house. If I asked someone to, hey, could you shit small puddles of diarrhea, like random places, but throughout the house, like throughout the house, to where I'm surprised by it days later, I'd appreciate that.
Nun, ich habe das vorher schon gesprochen, und ich werde Charlie auf dem Prozac für Katzen anfangen, aber ich habe es noch nicht getan. Und ich habe es vorher schon gesagt, dass ich Resistenz habe, weil ich meinen eigenen Selbstsinn auf den Katzen stecke. Und ich denke, ich will Charlie nicht in einer wenigereren Version von Charlie sein. I don't want Charlie to have his edges tapered.
I don't want Charlie to not be full throttle Charlie. But now that I'm trying some medication, I think that perhaps together, you know, we can we can go on this journey together. But I will start that on Monday where I can make sure I get it done every day and and manage it. As for me and my medication journey that started, what has it been about a week ago? I'd like to think it's working.
I don't know. Do you feel a little queasy? Maybe a little dizzy? Maybe it's taking the edge off some of my catastrophic thinking and compulsive panic. Don't know. Don't know. I don't know. And then I watched this documentary about Andy Kaufman. I'm thinking like, dude, just do the TM. Just, you know, Lynn did it. Just do the TM and nail this thing. I went through that today.
Like, I'm going to get off this medicine. This is stupid. Why am I altering my God-given, natural-given, evolved, whatever, genetically-given, however you want to look at it. Why don't I just live with that and learn how to transcend to TM it? To TM it, damn it. And then I realized, like, I don't know. Let's just see how this goes. Let's just do this. Let's just do this medicine.
