"God Was In My Clown Class" with Tori Piskin

March 15, 2026·57 min·5 clips

Tori manifested a six-figure Threads contract after meditating for an 'easy money' gig like OnlyFans.

This episode features host Tori Piskin in a free-flowing conversation about Jewish identity, family, and spiritual practices. Piskin, a comedian, shares personal stories about her upbringing and current explorations into meditation and manifestation. She recounts a story about asking a woman at Nordstrom if she was "a Jew," which led to a discussion on the perceived harshness of the word compared to "Jewish." Piskin describes her mother as a culturally Jewish atheist who was bitter after praying for her own dying mother without result. Her mother would bring Twizzlers to temple and told her they would stop attending after her grandfather died, which they did. Piskin details her recent practice of meditation influenced by Joe Dispenza, a figure she discovered on Reddit. She describes his guided 35-minute meditations focused on manifestation and breaking free from past experiences predicting the future. She claims to have manifested a free facial from an old contact and a six-month paid social media contract with Threads after meditating on wanting easy, consistent income. A memorable moment involves Piskin's husband, Kai, learning about "weaponized helplessness" from a friend, which ruined her strategy of pretending not to know how to do tasks so he would do them. She also recalls taking a clown class workshop with actor Connor Story, now star of "Heated Rivalry," whom she only remembered as being "really pretty." The conversation touches on her mother's "yenta" friend group and a past offer to appear on the TLC show "Smothered." The tone is highly conversational, confessional, and digressive, blending humor with personal revelation. Listeners who enjoy candid, meandering chats about spirituality, comedy industry anecdotes, and family dynamics will appreciate this episode. Those seeking a structured, focused discussion on theology or deep religious analysis might find it too scattered.
