The Bert Show. So our intern Meredith has this friend that really wanted to get a tattoo

0:07.7

very, very badly. So she did and they messed up the tattoo. Hey Meredith. Hello, good morning.

0:13.6

Good morning. Did they mess up to the tattoo or did she give them the like was it her fault

0:19.6

or was it the tattoo artist's fault? So we're going to say it was my friend Sarah's fault, but

0:27.6

let me explain it. Okay. She wanted to get my friend Sarah. She's Jewish and she went to Israel

0:34.6

for the first time about a month ago. So she was really excited, a very similar trip for her.

0:39.9

And she wanted to get the national anthem of Israel tattooed on her ankle. And it's the it means

0:45.4

the hope and how to pronounce that is a tic-va. I had her send me a voice memo and how to pronounce it

1:28.7

bottom to top instead of top to bottom. Like it would be originally read. Right. So but you're

1:34.8

still. Wow. So the tattoo artist didn't understand the order of the symbols that she wanted. And

1:43.6

yes. So is the meaning different if it goes one way and not the other?

1:48.2

I don't think so, but maybe that's something I have to ask her. But it's it's completely just like

1:54.4

the wrong like if you look at it and you know how to read Hebrew, you're going to be like

1:58.8

are you actually Jewish? It's just funny because the night before we're in the tattoo

2:05.1

parlour and she had the template ready and she's like Meredith like is it right? I'm like I'm
