I started Ornod in 2013 and we make bike apparel. The best part of Shopify for me is our ability to run the business as essentially non technical people. We're able to admin everything on the back end, front end and sell things online easily. If Shopify were a bike accessory, I think it would actually be the bicycle. It's the thing that you do the thing on. We run the business on Shopify so start your free trial on shopify.com this

Christopher
What's it called?
Dave
Viaggio's.
Caroline Goldfarb
Sounds so much like vagina, but the
Dave
whole cast of the Bear hangs out there.
Christopher
You know I'm in the Bear, right?
Dave
No, are you actually?
Christopher
You didn't know that?
Caroline Goldfarb
You're on the Bear. That's awesome, dude.
Christopher
I mean, I'm in like, congrats.
Caroline Goldfarb
That's huge.
Dave
I think hugs are so intimate and sexual.
Caroline Goldfarb
It depends on how.
Christopher
I think it's the most chill thing in the world.
Dave
But if you hug asexual, then everyone's like, you're a bad hugger. Because I hug like this.
Christopher
I hug pretty asexual.
Caroline Goldfarb
Like a side hug.
Christopher
I do side hugs because then you
Caroline Goldfarb
kind of put off that you're normal and well adjusted.
Christopher
I'm a side hugger.
Caroline Goldfarb
You don't really have to get into your. Your psychosis. You know what I mean?
Christopher
Yeah. I'm not like squeezing the out of you. I barely touched you. I barely touched you. It's just like, hey, what's up?
Dave
I know, but what am I supposed
Christopher
to do just say hi from here?
Caroline Goldfarb
Dude, that's so weird.
Christopher
No, you. You have to touch somebody.
Caroline Goldfarb
What about the worst is when it's a really good friend? Like, Esther and I, we've known each other for, like, 10 years, so that's the worst when there's pressure to actually. Like, if two people should be able to hug, it should be us. Yeah, but I can't. Less and less wanting to touch you as the years pass. I can't explain.
Christopher
Wait, Esther, you can't hug her.
Dave
Well, right now I'm breastfeeding, so it's like the boobies are tender.
Caroline Goldfarb
Nice one. Can she do a Throw that in there?
Christopher
Wait, so are you pissed that I touched you?
Caroline Goldfarb
What?
Dave
Am I pissed?
Christopher
Like, I did a side hug?
Dave
No, I'm never mad because I know it's my thing, and I, in fact, always feel so awkward and weird, like, I'm so rude and like, it makes people think I don't like them. But it's not like that.
Christopher
What is it?
Dave
I would love to hug. Why don't you add a different body?
Caroline Goldfarb
Like, if you touch your children.
Christopher
Oh, interesting.
Caroline Goldfarb
Do you hug, Dave?
Christopher
Do you squeeze your babies?
Caroline Goldfarb
Were you hugged as a child?
Dave
We know that I wasn't.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah.
Dave
No, my mother. An almond mom doesn't love.
Caroline Goldfarb
I also had issues with this, which is why I think I have issues.
Dave
Yeah. You don't seem touchy.
Caroline Goldfarb
No, I'm.
Dave
You're cold,
Caroline Goldfarb
aren't you? I have some issues with touching. I don't broadcast them. Like, if Carmen comes in for a hug, I'm gonna, you know, like.
Carmen Christopher
Yeah.
Christopher
You know what ruined Matt?
Caroline Goldfarb
We hugged. We hugged.
Dave
I'm gonna keep.
Christopher
Have we met?
Dave
Actually, nice to meet you. I'm Caroline.
Christopher
Nice to meet you. Wait, have we met?
Caroline Goldfarb
That's how you mean. I don't.
Christopher
Well, that's how we met. But I was like, I'm coming to do your podcast. I'm on this thing for, I guess, 90 minutes. We're slotted. I saw.
Caroline Goldfarb
I actually asked him if we could go a little longer, and your team said it was okay.
Christopher
My team wait four hours? Can we talk for a second? I gotta talk. Ellie is really sweet.
Dave
Somehow, against odds, we have an amazing team here.
Christopher
I gotta say something's really funny. This really made me laugh because she
Caroline Goldfarb
actually roasted you a little bit too.
Christopher
Well, basically, she was like, oh, I want to hear this. But basically, I like. I was like, hey, what's the address? And she says, I sent the address to your email, but it's like, that's really funny because I'm like, you could just respond with that. I mean, I got 15, 000 emails. I can't, like, you know what I mean? I don't know. I just thought it was like, I thought it was like a business. Like, it was very driving.
Dave
I'm so sorry.
Christopher
Oh, no, no, no. Oh, you're.
Caroline Goldfarb
Makes sense.
Christopher
It makes sense.
Caroline Goldfarb
Trying to kill a woman.
Christopher
Like, I don't know. Whatever. You're right and I'm wrong. Whatever.
Dave
No, I get that. I'm. I would be like, I want the address in my text.
Christopher
I want the address in my text.
Caroline Goldfarb
But then I would be such a you guys thing. Like, I hate grown adults that need to be treated like children.
Dave
Oh, you hate me secretly then.
Caroline Goldfarb
I hate you secretly. I totally.
Christopher
I don't need to be treated like a child.
Caroline Goldfarb
Okay, What I just heard was that it was in your email. Cause I also, when I got in the car, I was like, I wonder what the address is. And for sure it would have been more convenient to open up my messages and see it at the top. But what I did was I opened up my email, searched.
Christopher
I have 4 billion emails.
Caroline Goldfarb
Oh, now we're bragging about our email.
Dave
He's a billionaire of emails.
Christopher
Most popular boy in the world.
Dave
You're really successful. Let me introduce our guests. Today we have my soulmate, the person that I will be buried next to too against. I. I don't care how many laws I have to break. Caroline goldfarb. And she's 34 weeks pregnant.
Christopher

Caroline Goldfarb
July 1st.
Esther Povitsky
Wow.
Christopher
Congratulations.
Caroline Goldfarb
Thank you. I feel that you really mean that.
Dave
I don't know. That's so weird though. Do comedians care about other people's pregnancies?
Caroline Goldfarb
I know. I feel like all comedians are secretly disgusted by like, happy bro.
Christopher
You know, I'm a person first.
Caroline Goldfarb
Don't come at me as a comedian.
Christopher
Don't come at me as a comedian. I'm a normal ass guy who ended
Dave
up here for the first time, a guest who' trying to get he. I know him through. Through Dave, everyone's favorite guest. He was on English Teacher, the funniest show I've seen in 10 years. What else? You have a movie coming out on

Christopher
I can name my credits. Christopher Live from the Windy City is my special on YouTube. There's just a bunch of. Honestly, just like, go look me up.
Caroline Goldfarb
Substack Tik Tok none of that I
Christopher
don't really do tik tok. I had somebody post for me for a little bit and it. I just, I can't do it.
Dave
It's very comedian of you.
Christopher
But I just, I don't have time for this. It's like you have to do everything now.
Caroline Goldfarb
No, you. No, you don't.
Christopher
It's, it's.
Dave
Why are you so busy with your billion?
Caroline Goldfarb
What's with the emails? Yeah, I just like Hillary Clinton over here.
Christopher
I don't delete my emails because I like to search if I need it.
Dave
How does it feel being this close to a pregnant woman? Do you feel like a sexual fetish coming out or do you feel normal?
Caroline Goldfarb
Okay.
Christopher
Literally felt normal.
Caroline Goldfarb
Okay. Do you, Esther, I'm going to turn that back around on you.
Christopher
But that's funny that you say that because. Yeah. Wait, do you. Do you feel sexual around her?
Dave
No. But I have noticed lately. Hear me out. That. Because I've been posting a lot of breastfeeding content innocently, may I say innocently. And I've noticed like a few guys that I like acquaintancy with, you know, over the years, like are tuning in more.
Caroline Goldfarb
Mark Marin's hitting that, like, oh, definitely not Mark Marin.
Dave
He's just my motherhood. But I'm like, oh, is this like a thing that I forgot that this is like sexual because I'm all like covered in my breast milk since stains.
Caroline Goldfarb
You do talk about the stains a lot. Has Dave tried your breast milk?
Dave
I refuse to try it. I'm very creeped out.
Caroline Goldfarb
You refuse to try?
Dave
Would you try. Would you.
Christopher
Would I try breast milk? Would you try Esther's wife? I wouldn't try yours. No offense. Dave's my boy. I'm not around. I don't play that. Nope, nope.
Caroline Goldfarb
No, we don't play that.
Dave
Would you try. Are you going to try yours?
Caroline Goldfarb
I'm going to try my own. I'm going to try my own. I am sort of grossed out by the way that people describe the taste of breast milk. They always have to talk about how sweet it is.
Dave
I know, it makes me disgusted.
Caroline Goldfarb
Like regular milk, but sweet.
Christopher
I had some straight up milk straight from the te. Of a. Of a cow in Japan and that was awesome. And I kind of got a lactose thing. I get sick and I.
Dave
Were you breastfed from the cow?
Christopher
Well, no, they.
Caroline Goldfarb
You wouldn't do ester, but you'd suck it from the cow?
Christopher
I didn't suck it from the cow, but they had it like ready to go from the cow. I Wouldn't suck it from the cow.
Caroline Goldfarb
That means you're not Tom Green.
Christopher
Shout out. RIP Z Live.
Dave
Oh, my God.
Caroline Goldfarb
What? Hit out Tom Green.
Christopher
Tom Green.
Caroline Goldfarb
He's definitely.
Christopher
Remember Tom Green?
Dave
Wait, yeah, now everybody's trying to be
Christopher
Tom Green, but they're not really that good.
Caroline Goldfarb
So true. He's kind of like the prototype. Connor o'.
Dave
Malley.
Thrive Cosmetics Announcer
Kind of.
Dave
It's really hard for me when someone is, like, so clearly a genius. They top it all. They're like, someone like Tom Green and then you, like, check in. Now, where is, like, he's probably just like, has a podcast.
Christopher
I hope he's rich as. No, you know what? No, there's no way he's a podcast.
Caroline Goldfarb
How would he be rich as?
Dave
He's had a podcast for sure.
Christopher
Really?
Dave
And see, isn't that, like, almost the worst thing you could hear?
Podcast Promo Announcer
No.
Christopher
Well, it's funny because, like, I think about, like, you. Are you the permanent co host?
Caroline Goldfarb
No.
Christopher
Okay. You're a guest. We're both guests.
Caroline Goldfarb
We're guests.
Christopher
Oh, sick.
Caroline Goldfarb
We're guests in this.
Dave
She's my best friend.
Christopher
Okay.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah.
Christopher
It feels like I've been here before. This is my first time hearing the podcast.
Dave
Yeah. Would you feel like when you're on a podcast, you have to know who's. Who's what role?
Caroline Goldfarb
He's trying to do a power ranking and, like.
Christopher
Yeah, well, no, I just like to know stuff.
Dave
Will you change the way you treat her now?
Christopher
No, absolutely not. I've been treating her nothing but awesome.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah. He's been really kind to me. But you are in my house.
Christopher
I do think we're friends.
Caroline Goldfarb
No, I'm not.
Christopher
I could see us being friends. Like, not like super close, because we're both guys.
Caroline Goldfarb
No, I don't see that happening. Very friendly. Like.
Christopher
Yeah, like, if I saw you at the club or some, I'd be like, oh, what's up?
Dave
How are you?
Caroline Goldfarb
Oh, yeah, yeah. There's different.
Thrive Cosmetics Announcer
There you are.
Christopher
Okay, cool. There's a famous person. I gotta go. That would be you. That would be you. No, I'm just joking.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Christopher
That's everybody in la. Everybody in la. I'm gonna flake.
Caroline Goldfarb
Freak out when I see you at the club.
Christopher
Yo. And that's the thing about comedians, is we shut down the clubs.
Dave
Explain that.
Christopher
We don't go to clubs.
Caroline Goldfarb
Have you ever actually been to a. I'm not talking about a comedy club. Like, a club.
Christopher
Of course.
Dave
They're awfully not.
Caroline Goldfarb
Esther. They're so awful.
Christopher
Esther in the club would be hilarious.
Dave
You know the one time I went, some, like, pretty girl came up to me, tapped me on the. She was like, can we have more cups?
Christopher
Wait, this is a stand up joke. Write that down. Can you guys remember this? The one time I went to a club. Boom. That was perfect.
Dave
Okay.
Caroline Goldfarb
Wow.
Dave
I was funny once. Thank you.
Caroline Goldfarb
That was good. You wrote a joke.
Podcast Promo Announcer
Comments.
Dave
I accidentally told a joke. There you go. I told you I was funny once every year.
Caroline Goldfarb
Esther, don't listen to the comments. You know, that's your fans. What do they know? Do you have a podcast?
Christopher
Hell, no.
Thrive Cosmetics Announcer
What?
Christopher
To me, it's like, okay, my commitment right now is writing, acting, stand up. And then it's like, if I do another thing that takes away from those things that I act that I want
Dave
to do, how are you going to fit in raising Caroline's child amongst all
Caroline Goldfarb
those things and drinking Esther's breast milk?
Dave
Because we did bring you here to tell you that you are the father.
Christopher
Wait, do you not have it today?
Dave
Dad.
Christopher
Who's the dad?
Caroline Goldfarb
There's a dad.
Christopher
But this guy, is he in the picture?
Caroline Goldfarb
He's like the nicest, kindest Jewish man. That is.
Christopher
Are you Jewish?
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah, extremely.
Christopher
So this is great for your parents.
Dave
Well, you'd be surprised. It's great.
Christopher
Are you Jewish?
Dave
I'm a half seas.
Christopher
And then Dave is Jewish.
Dave
Dave is the real.
Christopher
Okay, cool.
Caroline Goldfarb
But he's not culturally. He doesn't.
Dave
I feel like there's some Jew tension amongst you and my household. There is, and we need Dave here to.
Caroline Goldfarb
But they're like, because you're so Jewish, so culturally Jewish. Let's not get it twisted. I don't go to temple. I do actually go to temple sometimes.
Dave
Do you think you're more cultural on
Caroline Goldfarb
the spectrum with Dave? I'm at the way. Other end also.
Christopher
By the way, your diamond is so cool. This is insane.
Caroline Goldfarb
Persian gym, baby. Oh, you're putting it together.
Christopher
Yeah. Now I'm looking at. Okay, okay. We got a rich person here.
Caroline Goldfarb
Oh, no, wait. No, no.
Christopher
I'm just playing. I'm just playing.
Dave
I do have a question, though, for you guys legitimately.
Caroline Goldfarb
What's up? We're all ears.
Dave
This summer, okay, it's going to be my 20th high school reunion. Would you guys go? Have you gone 100?
Caroline Goldfarb
Always go.
Christopher
Do you like that? But you don't like side hugs. I don't think you're going to like.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah, let's start with the hugs. You might have to open.
Christopher
Don't do it because you feel like you have to do it. Do like, your gut Is right. Like dunko.
Caroline Goldfarb
She has to get on a flight. That's the thing.
Dave
It's a little different with one of my children.
Christopher
Where is it at?
Dave
It's in Chicago.
Caroline Goldfarb
Let's be honest. You go to Chicago all the time.
Dave
But I don't know that I have two children.
Caroline Goldfarb
Which child would you bring?
Dave
I don't know. I'd want to bring Ace, but I'd probably have to bring Bernie.
Christopher
Is Bernie the littler one?
Dave
Yeah, because he's the one that sucks the titty milk out.
Caroline Goldfarb
Oh, we're back to the titty, I think. You got any updates on.
Christopher
Any updates on the titty milk? I feel nothing.
Caroline Goldfarb
Okay. Circling. Circling off the circle back.
Christopher
Yeah, I just feel nothing. Honestly, my dick actually just went inside.
Esther Povitsky
Okay.
Caroline Goldfarb
Okay.
Christopher
Not because I'm, like, grossed out. Just because, like, I'm not about this life respectfully today. Wait, so here's. Here's a question, or not even a question. It's an answer for you. You're going. You have to go because you want to go. So you're going, and you're gonna figure out the baby thing.
Dave
I'm gonna throw in another.
Christopher
Your mom's gonna watch the kid at home. Your dad's gonna be on the couch watching the news and being like, oh, there's so many carjackings in Chicago.
Dave
Let me throw in one more wrench. The weekend after my high school reunion is my grandma's memorial. Oh, and I can only choose one.
Christopher
When did she pass?
Caroline Goldfarb
Grandma died.
Dave
My only grandma. She died in the fall. It's a very long, complicated death story.
Christopher
Did you already go to the funeral?
Dave
There was no funeral.
Christopher
Awake.
Dave
No.
Caroline Goldfarb
I think this is the memorials over eight months after the passing.
Dave
Just forget about grandma.
Caroline Goldfarb
Forget about grandma.
Christopher
Were you close with her?
Dave
She moved to Saudi Arabia for 20 years the year I was born, so no.
Christopher
Oh, you're good.
Dave
But she's the only grandma I ever had.
Caroline Goldfarb
I mean, the fact that they're even doing a memorial at this point.
Christopher
Are you gonna see a bunch of family, though?
Dave
No, just my mom and her brother. And not the brother she's suing, but a different brother.
Christopher
Okay.
Carmen Christopher
What?
Christopher
Okay, what the hell? We can do that later.
Caroline Goldfarb
And I'm here.
Christopher
Yeah.
Dave
Anyways, look, I have to deal with that on my own. I want to talk about the lawsuit.
Caroline Goldfarb
I want to talk about.
Dave
I want to talk about mothers.
Christopher
Oh, I like that.
Dave
Because I unfortunately have to come out, come forward and confess that my son is my husband.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah, we saw.
Dave
He is the love of my life.
Christopher
My son is My husband. Damn. Okay.
Dave
Do you. Are you. I forget how many. What? Are your sibling?
Christopher
I have two. I'm the youngest. I have two older siblings.
Dave
And boys or girls?
Christopher
Older brother and then older sister.
Dave
Is one of you guys a favorite?
Caroline Goldfarb
The baby, and he's a boy.
Dave
Are you the favorite?
Christopher
Everyone thinks I'm the favorite, and I probably am.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah.
Christopher
But my mom, straight up will do anything for any one of her children. She's, like, incredible.
Caroline Goldfarb
Well, you have a good mom.
Christopher
My mom's awesome. Like, I just, like, I was, like, growing up, I was like, I would have gave up on these kids a long time ago. I was like, why is she still dealing with my brother? No, my brother was bad. And I was like, she never quit on him. I'm like, I don't know. Like, I'm talking about. My brother was in and out of jail. My brother had two kids before. He was, like, 19. Like, people were after him. Like, it was. It was like he was bad. He, like, caused a lot.
Caroline Goldfarb
She stands ten toes down.
Podcast Promo Announcer
Yeah.
Caroline Goldfarb
And she was, like, hard for her son.
Christopher
I was like, dude, this kid, and she didn't give up on him. And, you know, he's. He's working, and he's a carpenter now, and he's doing better for himself. But I was like, bro. And she. She was just there, and I was like, I don't know how. I would never. I would have thrown his ass out.
Caroline Goldfarb
Same.
Dave
Are you. Would you say you're close with your mom?
Christopher
For sure. I love my mom.
Dave
How often do you guys talk?
Christopher
Once or twice a week. Is that a lot or. No, that's little.
Caroline Goldfarb
That's really nice.
Dave
That's actually pretty good for a mother.
Caroline Goldfarb
If you said every day, I'd be creeped out. Yeah. No, but if you said once every two weeks, I'd be like, that's not enough.
Christopher
I would say, like, realistically, it depends on the week. Like, I just moved into a new place. So, like, we FaceTime yesterday. I talked last week, like, so, like, twice this week.
Caroline Goldfarb
Do you guys sign off and say, I love you? Of course.
Christopher
Yeah, I think so.
Caroline Goldfarb
My parents struggle with that.
Dave
Same.
Caroline Goldfarb
I have to get it out. I have to say it first. Let's. Let's.
Christopher
We say love.
Dave
Yeah.
Christopher
We don't say I love you.
Caroline Goldfarb
Did you grow up?
Christopher
This is a. I love you is kind of weird.
Dave
I love.
Caroline Goldfarb
I love you.
Carmen Christopher
Yeah.
Christopher
Okay, I gotta go. I love you. Ew. Yeah, Check this out. I gotta go. All right. Love you. Sweet. Same thing, but not creepy.
Caroline Goldfarb
This is an interesting one. When you grew up, did you kiss either of your parents on the lips when you were, like, a little kid?
Dave
I think so. I think.
Caroline Goldfarb
See, it's kind of interesting. I brought it up with my husband. I was like, oh, do you kiss, like, little kids on the lips? And my husband was like, the normal answer. He was like, no, absolutely not. I will not be kissing any of my children on the lips.
Dave
That's how I am. I don't. You don't know.
Christopher
I can't. I can't be kissing on the lips. No. But I like the cheek and the head and stuff.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah.
Christopher
I have a friend who just. My really close friend. John Reynolds has a kid.
Thrive Cosmetics Announcer
Yeah.
Christopher
But he. He has a kid, and I, like, I was just in New York. I stayed with him for a night, and I was playing with his son.
Dave
And how old was the son that.
Christopher
He's like one. He's huge
Dave
for a huge one year old.
Christopher
But I. I was playing with him and. And then I, like, gave him back to his wife and I kissed his ass on the top of the head. I couldn't. Like, I just did it. I was like. And I was like, wait, is that weird to kid another person's baby?
Caroline Goldfarb
No, not on the head.
Dave
Sort of. That's known to be kind of allowed. It's like, you can kiss someone else's kid. Not on the. Just not on the lips.
Carmen Christopher
Ew.
Christopher
Well, no one's doing that.
Dave
I'm obviously kissing Caroline's son on the lip.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah. Esther has lip.
Christopher
For real? For real. That whole generation before us is weird, bro. Like, they're all getting in trouble. Now we know why you think they were, like, doing weird stuff, bro?
Caroline Goldfarb
Well, they, you know, had to go to World War II and whatnot.
Carmen Christopher
Yeah.
Christopher
We didn't have to go to wars.
Dave
Yeah, we're like, maybe, though.
Christopher
We're all like, it's giving this.
Dave
Yes.

Everybody's voice is annoying. The best
Caroline Goldfarb

Christopher
like, like everyone's like tempo and V. I'm shipping. It's like, shut the up.
Caroline Goldfarb
But what if something was so sickening and fierce that you, Carmen Christopher, just simply had to say, work mama?
Dave
Yeah, like what would that be?
Caroline Goldfarb
Like, what if. What if? I'm just saying hypothetically, work my.
Christopher
I'm gonna start saying that. What? Just watch. We'll do it. We'll. There'll be a. There'll be a time in this interaction where I'm just gonna say it organically and it's gonna. It's gonna feel good.

What do you get at Major Domo? Because the chickpea macaroni is so good.
Caroline Goldfarb
Chicken. No, the whole.
Dave
The bread with honey.
Christopher
I never even knew about being.
Dave
But what I hate is that they change their menu, which I know that's what nice restaurants do, but they used to have things that they don't have anymore and it's upsetting.
Caroline Goldfarb
No, that's kind of the circle of life. That's just the nature of change and stuff.
Christopher
Are you roll up on us with some bananas?
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah.
Dave
Wait, what is this made that.
Caroline Goldfarb
It's part of the. I'm not a ho.
Dave
Keep going.
Caroline Goldfarb
I actually don't know why we get the banana. This is part of the homosexual.
Dave
This is the banana break. And it was introduced by my co host. And if you don't approve of that, you're racist because she's Filipino.
Caroline Goldfarb
Oh, wow.
Dave
And the banana is her favorite fruit.
Christopher
I'm half Mexican, so I can't be racist.
Dave
You'd be surprised.
Caroline Goldfarb
I don't know. I don't know. You kind of feel racist weirdly the most in this trio.
Dave
This is a banana.
Caroline Goldfarb
Oh, that was definitely racist. I don't know why, but it was.
Christopher
It's a big ass banana.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah, mine is really Big.
Dave
And this has a target sticker left on. That is absolutely insulting. That's a slap in the face, this panel.
Caroline Goldfarb
The thing I like about this banana is I can tell it's GMO as fuck. And I like that. I like that. Seriously, it's not a bruise, not a blemish.
Christopher
What are we doing with this?
Dave
No one has to eat it. It's just if you needed a snack.
Christopher
Oh, actually, I'm gonna eat it. Wait, did I have a banana today?
Caroline Goldfarb
You can have two in one day.
Dave
Wait, you've already had one today?
Christopher
Yeah, I had a banana on the way here.
Dave
We've actually never had a banana within the last hour.
Caroline Goldfarb
And you forgot.
Christopher
I actually think the peels in the car.
Dave
We've been doing this podcast for five years. We've never had a guest who had a banana before they got here.
Christopher
Yeah, yeah, I had a banana.
Dave
We have to stop recording.
Helix Mattress Announcer
Kind of rude.
Dave
You're supposed to know not to do that.
Christopher
I haven't watched it.
Caroline Goldfarb
Came having had.
Christopher
I haven't watched this podcast.
Caroline Goldfarb
You came having had.
Christopher
I had strawberries, blueberries, banana this morning.
Caroline Goldfarb
My God, what's going on in your car?
Christopher
Well, not in the car. I had it in my new place.
Dave
That would have been a good time to say work mama. I just want to say.
Christopher
Oh, I forgot about it. Let me just. Let me just. Let me put it in my brain.
Dave
Wait, what do you get at quarter sheets?
Christopher
And what are your cookie.
Caroline Goldfarb
Let's go get the cake.
Christopher
Honestly, I'm talking about quarter sheets. Like, I've been there more than once.
Dave
I've only been once.
Christopher
I've been once. I just want.
Caroline Goldfarb
I just don't have cake.
Christopher
But I go to, like, steakhouses a lot that aren't, like. It's more about the ambiance than, like, the food.
Dave
I hate when people like the ambiance over.
Caroline Goldfarb
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Christopher
But it's about the martinis and the laughs.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah, alcoholic. Well, some of us like a martini. That's okay. No, we're not all your grandma.
Dave
Wait, I do want to get back to moms for a second, because I wonder, will you please share more about your mom's reaction to your pregnancy?
Caroline Goldfarb
She was like, caroline, I'm gonna tell you something. I'm like, oh, she's gonna give me this little gem of wisdom about being a mom. Or, like, tell me I'm gonna be this amazing mom. She goes, listen closely. Nothing in this world will age you like your first child. I'm her first child, by the way. Nothing you will look in the mirror and you won't even recognize yourself.
Christopher
Holy shit.
Caroline Goldfarb
Will age you. And I'm like, holy. Thanks so much.

Caroline Goldfarb
Just Karma.
Dave
More goodies is really good. I'm on board.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yes, Carmen.
Christopher
Carmen. Yes, Carmen. Somebody created my Instagram for me when Instagram was new. I didn't know I was on it, and people were posting for me.
Caroline Goldfarb
This whole, like, lack of accountability. Yeah, I hate that. It's okay. You can just be like, I have a whack Instagram name.
Dave
Yeah, Caroline's giving you a rebrand.
Christopher
Wait, say what's up? Wait, what happened? What did I do wrong? Wait, what's going on? I'm so, like, this was like a decade, 14 years ago when Instagram was new.
Dave
Why?
Caroline Goldfarb
You don't have to even explain. Like, someone else was doing your thing.
Christopher
No, no, they were doing a prank on me. They were doing a prank.
Dave
They, like, created changing his story on the fly.
Christopher
No, I'm being for real, like.
Caroline Goldfarb
But it's good. You have a good Instagram name. Why do you. It doesn't matter. Like, you don't have to explain that you were pranked or anything.
Christopher
Carmen. Yes, Carmen.
Caroline Goldfarb
It's just not bad. It's cool.
Dave
Why are you so above social media that everyone else has to post for you?
Christopher
Oh, my God. This was 14 years ago when Instagram was new. No one had to put. I didn't know.
Dave
It's the same thing over, like, a politician.
Caroline Goldfarb
I didn't know Instagram, that's one sentence triggered.
Christopher
Tick tock is like. Tick tock is embarrassing Esther's whole business.
Dave
What's the point of you saying that just now?
Christopher
Wait, are you. No. Like, I just. Like, I feel like I just don't know how to do it.
Caroline Goldfarb
I also don't. I. I am the first to admit,
Christopher
but do you have a bunch of followers?
Caroline Goldfarb
I'm gonna follow you. She's so good at Tick Tock. She is. Don't lie. All. Why you go viral all the time.
Christopher
Can you post about me, please?
Caroline Goldfarb
Wait, no, me first. You said I'm your best friend.
Christopher
Post about me.
Caroline Goldfarb
I'm trying to blow my.
Dave
This guy who hates social media and won't be on.
Caroline Goldfarb
Will you make a tik tok for Carmen in the.
Christopher
Oh, my God, you're huge. She has 375,000.
Dave
Need to get out more, bro.
Christopher
I got 6,000. Post about me now.
Podcast Promo Announcer
Fine.
Caroline Goldfarb
I've got like, maybe. Maybe 700.
Christopher
I got that check mark, though.
Dave
Literally. Own Tik Tok if you wanted to.
Caroline Goldfarb
I don't know.
Christopher
What about me?
Dave
Well, you're a boy. It's different.
Christopher
Nobody wants to me.
Caroline Goldfarb
Oh, my God.
Dave
He wants to you. He just admitted it.
Christopher
No, but it's like.
Caroline Goldfarb
No.
Christopher
What I'm saying is, like, everybody. I feel like everybody on social media is just mad horny. They're like, I'm gonna follow this person because I want to.
Caroline Goldfarb
No. At all. Not even close.
Christopher
I'm sorry.
Caroline Goldfarb
Okay, I'll show you right now. Hey, I'm Carmen. Carmen.
Dave
Christopher.
Caroline Goldfarb
Carmen. Yes.
Dave
Christopher.
Caroline Goldfarb
A day in the life. Like, here's me eating a banana and blueberries and strawberries. Like, I know it's kind of a lot of fruit, but I'm gonna post TikTok right now.
Christopher
Can we go viral right now?
Dave
They go viral.
Christopher
Yo, number. Okay, number one rule. Tick tock. Do not say going viral. First off, I'm on a podcast today. Started at 8am I woke up, ate fruit, and now I'm on. And now I'm. Now I'm filming with the girls.
Caroline Goldfarb
Work mama.
Christopher
Work mama.
Caroline Goldfarb
Oh, my God, that's good. That was so good.
Dave
That literally was good.
Christopher
Like, how do I post?
Caroline Goldfarb
Can I post that, please?
Dave
Send it to me, please.
Caroline Goldfarb
Okay. That was really good. That was a good start. Can I run your tick tock? Yeah, I'll charge a really reasonable rate.
Dave
Can her baby run your tick tock, please?
Caroline Goldfarb
My baby needs a job. My baby needs WGA insurance. Not making the minimum.
Christopher
But isn't that what tick tock is? It's child labor.
Dave
What?
Christopher
It's kids online making money.
Caroline Goldfarb
Your algorithm is weird.
Dave
Yeah. What's your.
Caroline Goldfarb
I think your algorithm is having issues.
Christopher
I'll show you. I'll show you. I'll show you. Let's see. Do you guys want to see the first thing that pops up? Let's see. Video.
Dave
So you do use ranking the new
Christopher
SNL cast members now that. This. I don't care.
Caroline Goldfarb
You do.
Dave
You do, though.
Caroline Goldfarb
That's.
Dave
That's what hurts.
Caroline Goldfarb
The algorithm knows what you care about.
Dave
That's how it hurts you.
Caroline Goldfarb
It's okay. I can't do. I don't think line's that funny. I care.
Dave
Do you love Tick tock And you just bashed it for no reason. You have something. Something's going on.
Christopher
If I had 375, 000 followers like you, I would probably.
Caroline Goldfarb
All you have to do is.
Christopher
But I'm a loser and I reject it.
Caroline Goldfarb
Talk into the camera and just say whatever and post every day and you will have 300, 000.
Dave
Yeah, you're funny. You're actually funny.
Caroline Goldfarb
You're so funny.
Christopher
But doesn't that take away from, like, me? Jobs that are like acting?
Caroline Goldfarb
I think. Yeah.
Christopher
I don't want to be like a talking head. I want to be like a.
Dave
But you just. You would just. First of all, we can't turn this into a motivational thing for Carmen. But you would. Last thing I'll say, you would just be yourself and you wouldn't be some. It's not like you're gonna go on there and become Gary V or whatever. Like.
Christopher
Right.
Dave
You're gonna be you.
Christopher
But I like saving that stuff.
Dave
For what?
Caroline Goldfarb
For, like, he doesn't want to do it.
Christopher
Project.
Caroline Goldfarb
He doesn't want to do it.
Christopher
No. You guys are.
Dave
Dave has talked me out of that mentality because I used to be like, I want to save all my best material and not burn it online. And Dave is like, you should just be posting whatever you have.
Caroline Goldfarb
That's good.
Dave
I've not done all of that, but to a certain extent, I have followed that.
Christopher
All right, I'm going to try that for a month because I have a bunch of that. I don't post because I'm like, it's not. It's not ready or it is.
Caroline Goldfarb
What about posting vids of you doing stand up?
Christopher
I hate doing that because I'm like, I want to save it for a special.
Dave
What about posting vids of you breastfeeding from Caroline?
Caroline Goldfarb
Oh, Esther's. Esther's. What about posting videos of Esther doing stand up? Do you even think about that? You got 300, 000 followers.
Christopher
I'm just gonna start posting your clips.
Caroline Goldfarb
That could be big for you. She's huge on TikTok.
Dave
You could be so big. Wait.
Caroline Goldfarb
Okay. Sorry.
Dave
I have to ask a question.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah.
Dave
If you could build your baby using only traits and features and character characteristics of the people on the couches today.
Christopher
Oh, that's so cool.
Dave
What would you do?
Caroline Goldfarb
Carmen's heart.
Dave
Sweet Carmen.
Caroline Goldfarb
Carmen's heart. Number one.
Dave
Not his liver.
Christopher
Oh, my God. I'm about to cry in this hoe.
Caroline Goldfarb
Carmen's heart. But Esther's killer instinct.
Christopher
Oh, wow.
Dave
Say more. Don't stop.
Caroline Goldfarb
A little killer. I want him to. To be serious about standing on business, collecting his money, making me a landlord. Because you're my Jewish.
Christopher
Wait. Are you serious about staying on business? Because you seem so sweet that I'm like, I know.
Dave
The cheeks really do throw people off. It helps.
Caroline Goldfarb
Esther stands. She's my number one. It's so crazy. You are my number one. Most valued, especially for, like, in any industry questions. I always.
Dave
I really appreciate that. That means the world to me.
Caroline Goldfarb
I mean, my. My career's not going great right now.
Dave
No, it is.
Caroline Goldfarb
Is. You're my first. You're my first go to. So, yeah, that's the inside. And then everything else a little tricky, especially without you, to be honest. Do you look down on people that are not comedians?
Christopher
Of course not. I respect people.
Caroline Goldfarb
I know, but that's you.
Christopher
When I'm on a set and, like, I relate more to, like, the gaffer and, like, the transpo people than the actors. My family.
Caroline Goldfarb
What about, like, a writer?
Christopher
A writer?
Dave
What about a pregnant writer?
Christopher
Writers. I'm just like, okay, a bunch of dorks in the house, but I love you guys.
Dave
That is pretty good. That's a good take.
Podcast Promo Announcer
Yeah.
Dave
He's not. Dorks and the crew are the real men.
Christopher
I mean, just, like, everybody in my family is, like, construction worker. Like, no one went to college. I went to college. That's it. They think I'm gay because I went to college.
Dave
That's kind of my family, too. Hunters, carpenters.
Christopher
You want to learn something?
Dave
What are you, floor layers?
Caroline Goldfarb
My family's the opposite, I think, because I have one degree. Like, everyone thinks I'm a loser. I don't know.
Dave
It's just. Yeah, you. You have, like, a ton of. I'll never forget, at your wedding, some Persian Jewish woman turned to me. She goes, are you Ashkenazi? I'm like, what? She's like, do you know what this sauce is?
Caroline Goldfarb
What?
Christopher
Because you know what? I'm Italian, and growing up, I watched a lot.
Caroline Goldfarb
We know, we know.
Christopher
You're.
Caroline Goldfarb
Oh, my God. You mentioned, like, 10 times.
Dave
Panera sauce.
Caroline Goldfarb
It's giving us best restaurant ever.
Christopher
It's shipping. It's boots to the ground. I love Mob movies. And they would always be throwing the J word around. And I was like, what's so wrong with Jewish people? And then I go to college and
Caroline Goldfarb
I got found out.
Christopher
I got a bunch of. No, I go to. Because I didn't really know too many Jewish people in high school. I go to college and I got a bunch of Jewish roommates.
Caroline Goldfarb
And I'm like, these guys are chilling. Where'd you go?
Christopher
University of Iowa.
Caroline Goldfarb
Oh, they have the Jews there.
Thrive Cosmetics Announcer
Yeah.
Dave
A lot of people from the Chicago suburbs go there.
Podcast Sponsor Announcer
Yeah.
Christopher
Because we can't get into university. Dumb people. University of Iowa is for people that can't get into University of Illinois.
Caroline Goldfarb
That's stupid.
Dave
We yours. We're from the same place. That's why we both know that.
Christopher
Yeah.
Dave
Yeah.
Christopher
It's for dumb. I barely got into Iowa.
Dave
I went to Illinois, but I got in because of my.
Christopher
But Iowa is a much more fun school and better school on campus is.
Dave
There's that alcoholic side of you again.
Christopher
I know. No, you're right. Urbana is boring, though.
Dave
It sucks.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah.
Christopher
The weather is better in Iowa
Caroline Goldfarb
Specific.
Dave
I was depressed. Sorry. We didn't go to Northwestern.
Christopher
You went to Northwestern.
Caroline Goldfarb
Bam.
Christopher
Damn rich girl.
Caroline Goldfarb
I had student loans a lot.
Christopher
Yeah, your mom did not.
Esther Povitsky
You.
Christopher
Come on. I'm just playing.
Dave
There's no way her mom paid for her student loans. You. If you my mom, there's no way.
Caroline Goldfarb
Oh, no, no, no.
Christopher
I didn't, like, discover Evanston until, like, I graduated college. I was like, wait. There's this, like, really nice part of Chicago. It's not even Chicago, really.
Dave
No, it's like the great.
Caroline Goldfarb
Know how good I had it? It's one of the greatest college towns.
Dave
It's in between a suburb and the city. It's perfect.
Christopher
I still don't know about Evans.
Dave
I did everything in Evans.
Christopher
Like, it doesn't feel like Chicago.
Caroline Goldfarb
It's like upper crust. Obviously. Yeah. Of fancy.
Dave
And because it has Northwestern that, like. Yeah.
Caroline Goldfarb
Okay. You have to understand, I'm from Sherman Oaks, I'm from the Valley. And going to Evanston, you'd think it's kind of the same thing. But it was such a culture shock for me.
Dave
No, Evans. It was not like Sherman.
Christopher
Yeah.
Caroline Goldfarb
I. The culture shock of moving to the Chicagoland area for a girl from the Valley were opposites.
Dave
Wait, what was it like?
Caroline Goldfarb
First of all, I remember. Were you scared of us thinking, like, the Produce here is really bad.
Christopher
Yeah, that's true. Yeah. That was really worse in New York for me.
Caroline Goldfarb
The apples are amazing.
Dave
You knew you had to say that.
Caroline Goldfarb
I knew I had to. I have to say it for you. But for legal reasons, like, I just remember being like, whoa, not all produce is amazing. And from California, this is really tasteless and bland.
Christopher
Yeah.
Caroline Goldfarb
And then the chain restaurant vibe is totally different. We like that thing. Exactly. What's that place that's like Pasta and company or Noodles? Noodles and Company.
Christopher
Ew.
Caroline Goldfarb
I was like, there's a chain restaurant that just says, sells very Chicago doesn't with noodles.
Dave
Well, I ate there every day in college, but okay. Buttered noodles. Shout out.
Caroline Goldfarb
But then this is when I started getting really fat, because I was like, wait, that's what. We're starting to like it here. Because then I discovered pot belly. And I was like, growing up, I'm like, subway sandwiches, whatever. But no, in Chicago, sandwiches are treated differently.
Podcast Promo Announcer
Yeah.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah.
Christopher
I mean, like, you're eating like, that is all. Like, the thing about Chicago that's great is like. Like the delis. Like, you can go to a random ass suburb and it's the best sandwich you've ever had. The bread is really good. It's like French bread. And it's just. Oh, my God, I go nuts. My mouth's water. When I moved from Chicago and I realized that there wasn't Italian beefs everywhere in the country, my mind was blown.
Dave
That is a hard.
Christopher
And when there's not and there's not Jardiner everywhere, I'm like, wait, this is only in Chicago. We got the best city in the world.
Dave
We. Let's just at least touch on hot dogs for a second.
Caroline Goldfarb
I think the hot dog dogs that changed my life.
Dave
I was surprised when I moved here and there isn't a hot dog restaurant on, like, every third corner.
Caroline Goldfarb
Wait, even just back up the phrase hot dog restaurant. Like, that's a thing that if you said that to me growing up, I'd be like, what? Hot dogs? They sell them at Costco. Like, I guess.
Christopher
No, we got bomb hot dogs everywhere.
Dave
Shout out Poochie. Shout out Herms. Shout out Superdog. Shout out Portillo.
Caroline Goldfarb
I love Superdog.
Christopher
And so Johnny's.
Dave
Where is that?
Christopher
Johnny's. I think it's.
Dave
Oh, is that the Battalion Beef place, though?
Christopher
Though? It is, but they have hot dogs as well.
Dave
Okay. I have not had Johnny's.
Christopher
Johnny's is awesome. I think it's in. I don't know. All the listeners are gonna go nuts. He doesn't know he's not Chicago.
Caroline Goldfarb
On my last trip, someone told me to go to Devil Dogs, and it sucked.
Dave
And haven't even heard of it. That person was trying to hurt you. They're in front of me to close out the food conversation. No, no.
Christopher
But also, real quick, if this is making your mouth water, you can now order, like, Italian beefs in the mail, and they'll ship them in dry ice. And my mom sent me some for my birthday, and it was so good. And I had people over, and I had people over, and I was like, they never had Italian beefs, and their minds were blown.
Dave
Lisa Traeger, do you know her? Oh, yeah, She's a comedian. She and I grew up together. We went to the same.
Christopher
What? Same grade?
Dave
Yeah. Kate. No, she was one year older, but. Yeah.
Helix Mattress Announcer
That's awesome.
Dave
We were not necessarily friends growing up. We knew of each other, but she was a year older. It's like she was too cool to be my friend.
Christopher
She's the best, for sure.
Dave
But she sent me Lumal Nadis frozen.
Christopher
Yeah.
Dave
And it hit.
Christopher
It slaps, bro.
Caroline Goldfarb
You know where I went on Chicago? Peds Pizza.
Christopher
Peds is good. It's a little.
Dave
Is that on the south side?
Christopher
I'm off Peds. No, it's by. It's on. It's on the north side.
Dave
I'm afraid of the south side.
Christopher
It's in Lincoln Park. It's on the north side.
Dave
Okay, never mind. I take. Cut that out.
Christopher
No, no, leave that. Leave that.
Caroline Goldfarb
Clip it. Clip it. Cut it, then clip it.
Christopher
Clip it. Send me that.
Caroline Goldfarb
I'm going to post last.
Dave
Last thing about food in Chicago, and I swear we're done.
Caroline Goldfarb
Oh, it's good. It's good.
Christopher
If you're tuning out, like, I'm. I got some crazy celebrity gossip about the television show the Bear. Just stay tuned.
Dave
Okay. By the way, my cousin. Never mind. My cousin is like, never mind. I'm gonna continue his. His restaurant that he owns.
Christopher
What's it called?
Dave
Viaggios.
Caroline Goldfarb
Sounds so much like vagina, but the
Dave
whole cast of the Bear hangs out there.
Christopher
Really?
Caroline Goldfarb
That he tells you to see?
Dave
No, they've told me that.
Christopher
You know I'm in the Bear, right?
Dave
No.
Christopher
You didn't know that?
Dave
Wait.
Christopher
So funny.
Dave
Do you guys. Have you been there?
Christopher
Never even heard of it.
Caroline Goldfarb
You're on the Bear. That's awesome, dude.
Christopher
I mean, I'm in, like, congrats.
Caroline Goldfarb
That's huge.
Christopher
But I'm not, like, a series regular. I'm in, like, two, three episodes.
Dave
Where do you Want.
Caroline Goldfarb
Are you in the fancy restaurant?
Christopher
Yeah, I got, like, scenes, and I'm
Dave
in, like, you don't know my cousin's restaurant? You're not on the Bear?
Caroline Goldfarb
I mean, I think they hang out there.
Christopher
Wait, that's so funny. Are you really learning this right now?
Dave
Because I had two kids, you know?
Christopher
But also, it's not a big deal. Like, I'm like number 20 on the call sheet.
Dave
I haven't seen the show.
Caroline Goldfarb
But do you know. Do you know my friend Sarah Ramos?
Christopher
Of course. I love Sarah.
Dave
She's my friend. She's my friend. I've known her. She's not 16.
Christopher
Yeah, Sarek. I've been on since season one. She came in, like, season two.
Caroline Goldfarb
You know Andrew Lopez? Yeah, I know Andrew the God.
Christopher
Yeah, Andrew's my dad. We ate Taco Bell late one night at a hotel. After this past season, there was like a night they let us go to, like, they got us, like, a nice dinner or whatever.
Dave
Was it from my cousin's restaurant?
Christopher
No, it was Shaws, I think.
Dave
Oh.
Christopher
And then it was so good. But then we. Late night. I came home at like 2 or 3 in the morning. I was up, and then I saw him in the lobby, and somebody just left their Taco Bell. Like, there was a Taco Bell delivery. And we looked at the time and we're like, oh, it's been sitting here for like, three hours. And we ate that it. And it was disgusting.
Dave
That's a beautiful story for us.
Caroline Goldfarb
That is.
Christopher
But it was, like, there for three hours. They're like, it ain't. No one's coming. It's gonna go in the garbage. We gotta eat this.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah, it gets better the longer it sits.
Christopher
Also, where were we? Four Seasons Holler.
Dave
I love Chicago.
Caroline Goldfarb
Four Seasons. It's connected to a mall.
Dave
It is connected to a mall.
Caroline Goldfarb
I love it.
Dave
The only reason I got to stay there is because Nikki Glazer put me up there because she's so rich.
Christopher
Yeah, I never. I never say to the four season of my life, the Bear be putting you up.
Dave
Okay, wait. And this is gonna make or break us.
Christopher
Let me check my IG real quick. Okay, yeah, go ahead.
Caroline Goldfarb
Oh, you know, there's nothing going to ask him.
Christopher
What?
Dave
Have you been to PETA in?
Christopher
Oh, PETA in. No.
Caroline Goldfarb
Oh, you shouldn't have said that. Oh, no. Well, Esther, you have to understand. Esther rides hard for Skokie. That's her spot.
Dave
But most Chicagoans go to Skokie for PETA in.
Christopher
Oh, my God, Skokie is such a joke.
Caroline Goldfarb
No. Come on. It's like the hot.
Dave
Everyone from Chicago treats me. I'm not surprised.
Caroline Goldfarb
I expect Skokie gets a lot of.
Christopher
I expect if I'm being real, like, I literally know nothing about Skokie.
Dave
People hate on it. It's very easy to hate, but they
Christopher
don't know the name is so goofy.
Caroline Goldfarb
Exactly.
Christopher
I'm like, okay, that's what it is as a name.
Dave
They don't.
Christopher
You're going to ride for Skokie.
Caroline Goldfarb
Skokie has amazing historical significance.
Dave
I will be the mayor one day. And you. You'll see.
Christopher
It was the hotbed of civil rights activism.
Caroline Goldfarb
Not some civil rights stuff.
Christopher
Yeah, the bad stuff.
Caroline Goldfarb
No, no. There was.
Christopher
Chicago is hella racist. This.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah.
Christopher
That's when Martin Luther King marched through Illinois. And after going through the south, and they went through, like, Cicero, Illinois, he was like, it's the worst. We've seen it. It was.
Dave
That was when my dad was teaching
Christopher
school, and he told me, yeah, my family's from Cicero. It's embarrassing.
Dave
He said that when he was there, they had the National Guard had to, like, walk him into his job.
Christopher
Yeah. It's crazy. Chicago's wild.
Caroline Goldfarb
That's, like, what happens when Esther and I roll up to the Four Seasons Mall. The National Guards male, like, let's go. Let's go. I love Chicago. I just had to say that one last time. I just. I'm so jealous of you guys for being from there.
Dave
She's sponsored by the city of Chicago.
Christopher
You're jealous of us.
Caroline Goldfarb
Some of the worst things happen to me there. I have horrible memories of college, but I love Chicago. I. I just. I'll never get over it.
Christopher
Makes you. The whole thing about it is, like, everybody's always, like, new York's tough. New York's tough.
Helix Mattress Announcer
Tough.
Christopher
And then I moved, like, from Chicago to New York and lived in New York for a while, and I was like, everybody in New York is so welcoming and inviting. And it was like, wait, Chicago people are mean.
Dave
I agree.
Christopher
Chicago, like, I don't know who the people are. Like, Southern, Midwest hospitality. No. Or whatever. Midwest chart. What do they call it?
Dave
Charm. I think both of those are a thing.
Christopher
Whatever. But, like, New York, I was like, oh, Like, New York is, like, built.
Dave
My real people.
Christopher
Yeah.
Dave
Okay. I have a theory, and I want you guys to stick with me on this. Tell me. Be honest. I feel that when I'm in Chicago, I feel that I'm, like, literally so ugly. Men never see me. Like, I've was never hit on. I just. Was just Another, Another one of those in la. I feel so much more attractive because I feel like I'm different and I stand out more.
Caroline Goldfarb
So opposite because when I go to Chicago, I'm like exotic for them. Not really, but I feel like I get way more male attention in Chicago.
Dave
Yeah, it's like.
Caroline Goldfarb
And you're like a nice Midwestern girl when you come here.
Christopher
Interesting.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah. And to hear they're like another Jew Persian, like kick her to the side. We don't. Don't care about her.
Christopher
I feel like I get.
Caroline Goldfarb
Where do you get hit on by men more?
Christopher
I feel like women are more interested in me in LA and New York and not in Chicago because you're famous. But Chicago people don't give a about artists. They want like finance and like that. They're like really like weird because like Chicago is interesting. It's like the people that move to the city, it's like from all these other like Midwestern like Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and their interests aren't like being in like whatever we're doing.
Dave
When I lived in Chicago, I was like, I will never meet someone. I will never. I was like, I'm going to die alone. Like that was my mentality for. That's why when I moved to L. A I dated the first person I guy that hit on me who unfortunately happened to be Tony Hinchcliffe.
Caroline Goldfarb
But we all know how that ended.
Christopher
Do your viewers know that?
Dave
Everybody knows about it.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah.
Christopher
Are you still boys with him?
Dave
We have a dog.
Christopher
But does Dave approve of this?
Dave
Dave loves it.
Christopher
Is Dave and Kill Tony friends they have not met.
Caroline Goldfarb
What do you think they could have.
Christopher
They couldn't be more.
Caroline Goldfarb
I honestly want dear.
Christopher
Well, they couldn't be more different. But Dave is also such an understanding guy where he'd be like, not this guy.
Caroline Goldfarb
Yeah, Dave's like a highly evolved, Harvard educated, super, super intelligent, well read guy. Kill Tony is like abrasive and racist. I can't believe I'm not gonna get us staffed on Kill Tony now. There goes that job too. Okay, one last Chicago food thing and I swear, then I swear we can move on on.
Dave
We have to go. Wait, how long are we.
Caroline Goldfarb
I'm sorry, we're done.
Dave
This is like literally my favorite.
Christopher
Wait, we didn't do any of this.
Caroline Goldfarb
We skipped those here.
Christopher
We didn't talk about my movie coming out.
Dave
No, no, no, it's honestly have to talk about that. No, unfortunately we just don't have time. We're just out.
Caroline Goldfarb
You want 15 seconds starts now.
Dave
Okay, yeah, we go right now. Time's up.
Christopher
Okay, straight up. This movie is written by John Reynolds.
Caroline Goldfarb
Oh, really? Okay, wait, that's actually cool.
Dave
Wait. Okay, now we're interested.
Caroline Goldfarb
Why didn't you talk about this before?
Christopher
It's with me, John Reynolds, Gary Richardson, Sophia Black, Delia.
Caroline Goldfarb
Say them all with your chest.
Christopher
I don't know. It's about a bunch of. In Joe Firestone. It's about a bunch of 35 year olds who have to go back and finish their last semester of high school. It's really stupid and really funny. If you're into like dumb, goofy, like.
Dave
No, that's an amazing cast.
Christopher
The movie like this is like. It's just stupid and funny.
Dave
The fact that it was written by John Reynolds, like, you know, it's good.

Christopher
And I'm up in that thing. And if you guys mess with this podcast. Oh, my God, wait till you see this. I don't. I'm so sick of promoting.
Caroline Goldfarb

Christopher

Dave

Christopher
I'm also not like a big podcast guy.
Caroline Goldfarb
You don't go on them?
Christopher
I don't get really asked anymore. Do any straight guys listen to this?
Dave

Caroline Goldfarb
He is. I'm Dead ass.
Dave
Where was he at your wedding?
Caroline Goldfarb
Mom's first cousin? We're not close to that.
Christopher
I saw him in an Emmy party. Like, I saw him at an Emmy party, like, eating the cheeses. I was like, why is he here?
Caroline Goldfarb
Because he's an amazing businessman.
Christopher
That's cool. But he looked mad. Or is that just how he looks?
Dave
Oh, that was racist against Jews.
Caroline Goldfarb
Persians as well. No, he. Maybe he was having a bad day or something. He's really cool.
Christopher
No, he seemed cool.
Caroline Goldfarb
But yes. The business center on Tick Tock. I forgot. And then stuff that no one ever. It never comes. It's not coming out.
Christopher
Tell him let's link up. If he wants to make a commercial for his lawyer stuff, I'm. I'm down.
Caroline Goldfarb
I have a direct line to him. I can make that happen.
Christopher
But also, I don't know if I actually want to do.
Dave
Is your direct line just the number that's on the billboards?
Caroline Goldfarb
He actually does not answer my texts.
Dave
Now we're getting. Now we're getting read.
Caroline Goldfarb
But eventually, sometimes me, he'll just call me, right?
Dave
Randomly.
Christopher
Okay.

Hosts: Esther Povitsky & Khalyla Kuhn
Guests: Carmen Christopher, Caroline Goldfarb, Dave
Release Date: June 16, 2026
This vibrant and chaotic installment of Trash Tuesday features comedian Carmen Christopher and recurring favorite Caroline Goldfarb. The group explores everything from comedy club etiquette and social media anxiety, to Chicago food obsessions and family trauma. Carmen becomes the focus of the group’s mission to make him “a viral sensation,” giving way to hilarious TikTok experiments and passionate debates about what’s truly cringe on the internet. There are repeated digressions into Chicago nostalgia, motherhood, and why hugging is weird, all suffused with Trash Tuesday’s signature irreverence.
The conversation is full of dark asides, self-deprecating humor, zany tangents, and vulnerable admissions, but always grounded in mutual affection and relentless teasing. Banter comes rapid-fire, pop culture and Midwest references abound, and the group's knack for drawing comedy from discomfort is on full display. The meta-commentary on internet stardom, content creation anxiety, and the generational shift in what’s considered “cool” or “authentic” is woven throughout with sly sarcasm.
If you tune in, expect to laugh, cringe, and nod in recognition as the hosts and guests lay bare the realities of modern comedy hustle, millennial parenting, and their shared roots in Chicago. You’ll come away with viral catchphrases, intense arguments about the best sandwich, and a refreshed appreciation for side hugs and self-doubt. And don’t forget: “Work, mama!”
