So I feel like, first of all, thank you so much for doing this. Of course! Thank you for having me! I've never officially met you! I know you! I was gonna say, I mean a lot of people feel the way, I've never met you and I remember years ago when Blanch Room the Earth, I must have stumbled upon your Instagram and you were doing all these great things with dogs and you were making all these fun videos and I thought, oh this girl's probably so

busy because she does like Katy Perry's animals and there's no way and Emily just booked an appointment and you've been my preferred dog groomer ever since, my only dog groomer. Thank you, I'm honored! Yeah, it's a it's a you have quite the roster of clientele. Yeah, and you have quite the following. It's been a... My assistants like say her name, we already know it's Jess Rona, they already clicked on the podcast but what I think is fascinating about you Jess,

and we're gonna talk about your career and everything is that you really have turned a passion because there's so many dog groomers out there, you've turned this into it's more than dog grooming, you've made it an art form, you've made it accessible to people that know nothing about dog grooming and now you are a judge on hot dog on HBO Max and the trailer looks so fun.

It's I mean, thank you, it's really cool. I mean, honestly, like this was never supposed to be. I started grooming dogs in my garage, which is where I started grooming Blanche and that I was actually like in a low place when I started making those videos, I was antsy, I was bored, I just grabbed my phone and made these videos because I was just like wanting to do something creative and then they blew up and then I became known as this dog groomer that makes these videos.

But yeah, the garage was just supposed to be me like making money to pay rent so I can like be an actress.

Yeah, so talk to me about that. So you come from I'm guessing the East Coast, but I could be wrong. No, I'm from LA. Oh wow, I know. I live here for a while.

Maybe that's what I'm sending my mom's from Brooklyn. It was the Rona. I was like, which is a I'm sure you've gotten the jokes about that last name. The like just clicked for me.

I was like, oh, she's Italian. She must be from Becky. So you're here in LA and you want to be an actress and you went to dog grooming school. No, okay, not at all. And I'm even better. I'm not Italian.

Oh my god, I'm Jewish too. Are you fasting today? No, I never take you.

I thought about it, but I wake up and excruciating pain in my shoulder every morning and I need to take an ibuprofen and I need food for that.

Why does your shoulder hurt every morning? I don't know. I'm guessing you've tried everything.

I haven't. I'm also just hoping it'll go away. But in my defense, I only ate half an avocado with no salt so that it was like the closest to fasting I could get.

No fun with the other rest of the day. Yeah, I think I'll hold off just to give it a world. But I also today's the day of atonement.

And I don't feel like I have anything to apologize for. I can feel like I'm really different.

Anyway, I've always my sister's a really good Jew and I'm a horrible Jew.

Like, and like I'm 100% Jewish. Ashkenazi Jew. I did one of those DNA tests. I'm a hundred. There's nothing else.

Me too. Really? No, no, I wish no chair. I was like, give me something fun. Is there a splash of Spanish? You know, something?

Something. You're 100% fully Jewish. I mean, it's cool, but it's also like I wish I had something else. Like, give me like something fun. I don't know.

It's fine. I mean, you could have one relative who's Polish and one who's Russian. Oula. I'm half Polish and half and half Hungarian. What are you?

I'm like fully Russian. Like fully Russian. Maybe Polish. I don't think. I mean, I know there's a difference, but like fully fully that.

Okay. Yeah. Maybe apologize to God or whatever for not being satisfied with that being 100% Jewish.
