Let her hear it. There she is.
I was stumbling there.
I haven't read those things before. I was like, wow. I was just thinking the
whole time,
does somebody tell you all that? How did you even-
We do our research.
I've been following you for a while.
Nobody does their research.

Everybody's loving it.
It's my first hour for Netflix, so hopefully I can move some tickets. I just
want to ride Uber black.
I like the motivation. That's all right. Trying to move a couple of tickets.
Do you know what I was doing? I was telling them I was doing Stern's wrap-up
show.
After that, I had like an hour to kill, and I went to Filene's basement.
Speaking of trash, and then I ran really fast through it and tried to try
things on,
and then just begged this lady to like hold my basket for me.
No shit. I didn't even know there was a Filene's basement.
So you're going to go back?
Yeah, well, she said we don't hold baskets.
It's a goddamn knife fight in here, yeah.
Yeah, I didn't care for that one bit.
You could have brought your bags. That would have been fine.
I mean, I was still shopping. Like, I just, it's hard for me to pass up an
outlet or a Nordstrom.
No, not Filene's basement. It was Nordstrom's wrap.
I always get them energy. I always get them switched in my mind.
Filene's basement's been out of business since the 80s.
That's fair. They always switch in my mind.
Like, they kind of meld together because they are the same thing.
Sure.
The same manner of twats in them.
Do you like an outlet?
I used to like it.
You like an outlet? Stopping at the outlets?
I'll fuck up an outlet.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yes.
All right. Burlington Coat Factory?
No, you can't do it. That's, come on.
Very high ends.
Very high ends.
That's good stuff in here.
That's right. I'm worth it.
Got a golden pussy, okay?
I shopped.
Give us the backstory. Where did you grow up? Tell us everything.
The origin story of Rachel Feinstein.
Moms, dads, brothers, sisters laid on us.
I grew up in Maryland. My father actually moved to this area, Bethesda, outside
DC,
because he had really good used book and record stores there.
Seriously?
Yes. That's why he did it. Yes.
Was he married at the time or when he was younger?
He was married.
Okay.
My parents actually married two months after they met.
Nice.
And my mom said that, speaking of garbage, my dad would spray, lay his clothes
out where they met at UCSB
and spray deodorant on them, and then he didn't do his laundry, and he would
just spray the deodorant.
And so she was like, "Oh, he needs a wife." That's basically how they decided
to get married.
She's like-
This is why we play the game, folks.
Yes.
We are in it.
Yes.
What's UC? Is that a college?
UCSB. It was University of California in Santa Barbara, and that's how they met.
Okay. So they met out there. All right.
Apparently, two months after they- so I think they got married, I think it was
two months after,
about a month after, they had to take a long drive somewhere, and my mom said
she was like so-
She was really obsessed with my dad. That's why she was like, "Oh, I'll do his
laundry.
That's how I got him to marry me."
Uh-huh.
And she said on the drive that my dad encountered a little bit of traffic that
he was like slightly
annoyed by, and then he was like, "You know what, Karen? We're not doing it. It's
off."
So he basically like flicked off some driver. He's like, "Fuck the- God damn it.
You know what? And I'm not marrying you either." You know, and then she said
she started wailing,
crying, and then the traffic softly cleared up, and then he was like, "Yeah, I
love ya."
I didn't mean what I said back there.
Be by gods. Be by gods.
Mr. Feinstein's all right. I like that. What did your dad do?
My dad, um, he was a civil rights lawyer, so he prosecuted KKK cases for the
Department of Justice.
Like, so he was a prosecutor out of the, um, DOJ.
Based out of Maryland?
Based out of Maryland. That's why- that's why they had to move there, so he
could take the bar
and- and want- he wanted to do that. In his, like, family, they were pretty
poor. He grew up in
Queens, and then they moved to Palo Alto, and they said you have to be a doctor
or a lawyer.
So he was a musician. He plays- he is again now, but he plays piano, Zydeco,
accordion,
and harmonica. He plays everything by ear. He's insane blues musician, but that
was like one or the
other. So he's like, "Oh, I'll do civil rights law." So he went into that, and
then my mom went to social
work school, and she's a kind of bleeding heart liberal. I talked about it in
the special, like
how she would have preferred if I married, like, a genderless Kenyan composter
or something.
Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, she's just- if you're, like, not white, she listens to you like this with,
like, a leg up.
Very intently.
She loves to get to the bottom of somebody's trauma. She does, like, a whore
crawl towards
you if you tell her something went wrong in the early years. That's all she
wants to do,
is just get into the childhood. So that's my mom's general vibe, which is funny
because her dad was
the opposite. Like, he was very conservative, and if you had an opinion at the
dinner table,
you were called a commie rat, which is still my favorite thing.
I'm stealing that.
Is that great?
Uh, yeah.
Calling someone a commie's a good time.
Thought this was America, goddammit.
To call your own daughter a commie rat is fucking fantastic.
That's great.
So he was, like, so she kind of overcorrected. Then she met- she majored in
African history,
I think it was, like, with a minor in black studies or something. She just,
like,
wanted to not be white, and she's the kind of, like, liberal where it, like, it
almost comes full
circle and it's, like, almost racist.
Sure.
You know what I mean? Like, when she's talking to my mother-in-law, who's
Colombian,
her, like, inner dialogue is, like, I'm talking to a Colombian woman.
She's a lot.
Okay.
Yeah, that's how we got to the Maryland area.
Did he work in D.C.?
Is that where he-
He worked in D.C.
All right, so your dad works in D.C., your mom, she's doing social work as you're
growing up.
Yes, she was working, you know, 60 hours a week at this clinic in D.C.
Okay, okay.
And how many brothers and sisters?
Two brothers.
Older, younger?
One older, one younger.
Okay, so you're in the middle.
I'm in the middle.
Public school you guys went to?
Yes, until my brothers all went to public school, me too, until about junior
year of
high school.
I was just failing so bad, and I was a wild moron in school.
Like, they just could not, for the love of God, stuff information into my brain.
So they finally put me in this little Quaker school, and I thought I got, like,
got into
that school.
Like, they took me around, but I found out later it was like, no, that's like a
last resort.
Yeah, everyone's pregnant and smoking cigs in class, bars on the outside of the
windows.
You're like, how did I get in?
I'm gifted.
Yeah, I was like, no, this is, yeah, you don't, like, audition for juvie.
Like, this is all there is available to you.
So they, they, that was in my junior year.
Until then, I went to public school, but I just got Ds and Fs from, like, maybe
fifth
grade or something.
Like, I was just, yeah, a terrible student.
Good public school, though.
It sounds like you were in a nice area down there in Maryland.
Yes.
Okay.
Do they still live in that same house?
They do.
They do.
They still live down there.
Yeah.
Very nice.
What are we talking?
Single family home, I assume?
Yes.
Nice.
Single family home, and I think it's a three bedroom.
We would go to Gaithersburg a lot.
My dad, so my dad, Gaithersburg's another area of Maryland.
And my dad, in around seventh grade, he ended up, like, he had a lot of bills.
Bethesda was becoming more expensive.
They decided he should go into, try to go into private practice.
But I was like, I remember thinking, my dad's like a, kind of like a genius.
Like, he skipped two grades in school.
But I'm like, he can't do, like, private practice.
He's like, probably autistic.
He flicks his own head a lot.
That's what a cash is, though.
Yeah, I know.
But I was like, how he can't?
Yeah, but he can't run it.
I was like, how he can't?
He's gotta show up and be told, do the exercise.
Yes.
He can't, like, schmooze people.
He's flicking his head.
Yeah, he flicks himself.
Thousand dollar retainer, now.
He flicks himself as, like, a tick?
It's like a tick or something.
Like, he'll do that a lot.
Or people will be like, oh, I saw your dad at Giant.
That's a supermarket near us.
Like, oh, I saw your dad at Giant picking his nose.
Like, he's always picking his nose.
Man, the fine signs are wild.
Yeah, Cowie is wild.
So Giant was the grocery store growing up.
That was the grocery store growing up.
It was a good establishment.
Of course.
We're very well versed in Giants and supermarkets.
Really?
You know Giant?
I didn't know, like, everybody knew Giant.
Yeah, they were from Philly, so
