More about Modi:
Voted one of the top 10 comedians in New York City by The Hollywood Reporter, Modi is one of the comedy circuit’s most sought-after performers. Featured on HBO, CBS, NBC, ABC, Comedy Central, Howard Stern, and E! Entertainment, Modi has received rave reviews in The New York Times, Time Out NY, and The New York Post.
Born in Tel Aviv, Israel, Modi emigrated with his family to the United States at the age of seven and was raised on Long Island. After graduating from Boston University, he worked as an investment banker until his first open-mic night made him realize that stand-up was his true calling. Equipped with a sharp wit and a knack for reading an audience, Modi has gone on to become a successful fixture in New York's vibrant comedy scene, often doing bits that incorporate his heritage, and he is a hit with diverse Jewish audiences as well as fans of all backgrounds and beliefs.
Now a regular performer at the New York and Los Angeles comedy clubs, Modi also headlines around the country and across the globe. He is a co-founder of The Chosen Comedy Festival, a celebration of Jewish humor that was launched in 2022. The festival features diverse comedy acts and has brought laughter to thousands of people in NYC, Miami, Los Angeles, and more.
Modi has played himself on HBO's Crashing and Netflix's When Jews Were Funny. He's also appeared in several feature films and played leading roles in two: Waiting for Woody Allen, which won the LA Film Festival, and Stand Up, a feature-length film. In 2018, Mayor Bill De Blasio declared June 26th 'Mordechi Modi Rosenfeld Day' in the city of New York for his accomplishments and contributions to the artistic community.

Ari had a great podcast. I'm sad it's over

[@sara35ish]

Ari and Modi, two of the most Jewy comedians of our time.Both awesome in their own ways.

[@willhughes2672]

I was hoping this would happen one day! Thanks Modi

[@sara35ish]

If only kosher lamp had been invented when Ari was in yeshiva he would still be frum

[@timfahey2560]

Ari, if you do it again with all 2 1/2 hours, we'll buy that too.

[@voccsaycee30]

Great episode, two highly knowledgeable Jews with very different beliefs -- yet both are absolute masters of the comedy craft. Great to see you have Ari on here, and was amazed to see he was on the bill for the Coney Island show last night -- which congrats on, very well pulled off. (However, half the crowd leaving during Robert Smigel's piece, which he clearly put a lot of effort into, and during the most animated Jeff Ross set I've ever seen, was pretty appalling...but like Dave and Ari both pointed out -- the real fans stayed. I have no idea what the other half of the crowd was doing there)

Wonderful episode a lot of fun. Loved the chemistry and shared respect. Complete opposite from the Elon episode which was awful.

Fire needs oxygen. So technically an electric light is not fire. Combustion needs oxygen
