  Well, you and I just got to know each other several months ago or
• 1:21
  several weeks ago. Yeah, Yeah.
• 1:23
  And I was fascinated by what he does in general and his
• 1:26
  background of. Well, I'm not going to give it
• 1:28
  away because we have a new segment that we start off our
• 1:31
  podcast with called Chachi PT. Said what?
• 1:34
  I'm going to tell you what Chachi PT says about you.
• 1:37
  Which I never checked before and.
• 1:39
  Most of our guests haven't, but here you are.
• 1:41
  You ready? Only if it's positive, right?
• 1:44
  Chachi. I don't tell Chachi PT to be
• 1:46
  positive, I just thought it'd be real.
• 1:48
  OK, right. It's a division in YM Behal.
• 1:51
  Garishi Moskowitz is a music event and producer.
• 1:54
  He's the mastermind behind some of the biggest productions in
• 1:56
  the Jewish world. Think Albums comes.
• 1:58
  It's his cruises and concerts with major artists, right?
• 2:01
  Founder of Gerci Mosque. What's productions?
• 2:04
  Would you come up with that name?
• 2:07
  Not original. Not just the producer, he built
• 2:10
  the brand. He curates sound, soul and
• 2:12
  spectacle. Like a Hasidic Spielberg with a
• 2:14
  keyboard. Wow, a Hasidic Spielberg.
• 2:18
  You like that with a keyboard? OK, GPT.
• 2:20
  You're an album producer for Jewish music icons, albums like
• 2:23
  Kedai Rabashimin, Barrio Chai featuring Alvin Friedrich
• 2:26
  Werdiger, Shraggy Gestettner and of course and of course,
• 2:31
  Schleimi Gertner. Basically it says here you roll
• 2:34
  deep with the Hasidic All Stars. That's how my production in the
• 2:38
  music business. Who's your biggest friend in the
• 2:41
  industry that's on your phone that celebrity wise that we
• 2:43
  would all know a name? All of them all of them happened
• 2:46
  to be on the way in. I just finished them texting
• 2:49
  with MBD, which he's the king of Jewish music and he I was
• 2:54
  sending him to a koila in the hospital, which a bunch of
• 2:58
  people should know that all these superstars, their
• 3:01
  foundation, what they don't do when they don't have jobs at
• 3:04
  night and sometimes daytime downtime, they go around the
• 3:09
  hospitals, prisons, they fly to places to the new high
• 3:13
  cholesterol. You know what?
• 3:15
  Let's jump right into that because the next thing it says
• 3:17
  here is that you were a notable speaker at the renewal Shabba
• 3:22
  Tone, and it actually picked up on it because it just happened
• 3:24
  recently. Correct.
• 3:25
  But the one I'm gonna hear everything.
• 3:26
  And tell me more, Gary. She doesn't just play music, he
• 3:31
  moves people. His emotional speech at the
• 3:32
  renewal Shabba Tone in 2025 went viral.
• 3:36
  I mean, if they say so, yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's, that's
• 3:39
  nice. I I'd like to hear more about
• 3:40
  it. I mean, the rest of it is how
• 3:42
  amazing you are at marketing and what a great dresser you are and
• 3:46
  how what delicious foods. I'm joking.
• 3:48
  I'm just saying that that's the crux of it.
• 3:50
  And it sounds like it's pretty accurate.
• 3:52
  So we're we're fans. So far so good.
• 3:54
  Yeah. I mean, I have to tell you that
• 3:55
  this is the things that we don't see that go on behind the
• 3:58
  scenes. Like you mentioned, you're
• 3:59
  calling Mortehydman David to go. Do I mean what's up to me?
• 4:02
  Yeah. Yeah, I find that a lot.
• 4:05
  I find that, you know, I was in a hospital in artist role after
• 4:08
  October 7th and I was surrounded by guys like Mordecai Shapiro
• 4:11
  who were just there, just like with a guitar singing to people
• 4:14
  who are recent amputees and. You told me that story also what
• 4:17
  you had, which people should know about.
• 4:20
  I don't know. The October 7th that floor was
• 4:22
  empty and you went to a person that.
• 4:24
  Was yes, yes. Well, this is about you this
• 4:26
  time, so I. Want to hear that?
• 4:27
  People should know that story that has it comes all around
• 4:30
  that. Yes, 100%.
• 4:31
  That's I guess the what I'm noticing a lot is that people
• 4:35
  are in the production world, in the music world, in the artist
• 4:37
  world. You find this also in non Jewish
• 4:39
  world as well. Anyone who's an artist, you
• 4:41
  don't realize the work that goes on behind the scenes during the
• 4:44
  day and then of course on the scene at night.
• 4:46
  When does anyone have time? When does anyone go to sleep?
• 4:49
  How do how do people balance their life work?
• 4:51
  How do you balance it and what would you recommend for other?
• 4:53
  I'm curious about that whole world, but.
• 4:56
  People, people don't know. I'm sorry for knocking you.
• 4:58
  Go ahead. People don't know what the word
• 5:00
  production means. When he said how original geisha
• 5:03
  masks with productions. You can go to gefilte fish
• 5:07
  productions and give it a name. I said to myself, this is my
• 5:10
  name and add the word, the word what I do now, What does
• 5:13
  productions mean? Basically and simple, one phone
• 5:17
  call does it all. If you'd be making a Simcha and
• 5:21
  making ACM, you need a cruise. Let's we're going to get to the
• 5:25
  album soon. But we started how I started my
• 5:27
  career just as Hassan called me up 28 years ago.
• 5:30
  Happy to be a close friend of mine and his brothers in the
• 5:32
  music business. Billy Bercow, if I may say names
• 5:34
  in public over here, of course, it was my first.
• 5:36
  Please drop more names. What do you think we're doing?
• 5:38
  Is that your name was mentioned on the podcast exactly, sending
• 5:41
  out to people. So I like that.
• 5:42
  Oh, he was my first client. What were you doing at the time?
• 5:45
  I was first. I started going for towards the
• 5:48
  music field. Sure.
• 5:49
  Should I start with my career? How I started?
• 5:51
  Yeah, you'll tell us that in a minute, but finish the story.
• 5:53
  Go. Ahead, Oh, he was my first
• 5:54
  customer that he went to Yeshiva's father, Mother, Mother
• 5:56
  were busy working up a pizza shop at that point and his the
• 6:00
  father, mother forgot to send deposit to the singer, the
• 6:03
  keyboard and so on. And he calls me up in from
• 6:07
  Yeshiva 4 weeks before the hassener that he lost the baton,
• 6:12
  the keyboard, the singer, whoever was on stage because
• 6:15
  they didn't give a deposit. Gershi, I need your help.
• 6:18
  So coming home from Yeshiva by 18 already I was going down the
• 6:21
  terrace high block, 54th and bar park, which you familiar?
• 6:24
  I used to stop in and get familiar with the players and
• 6:27
  keyboards and singers and they got to know me.
• 6:29
  So automatically got to know me. Who are you?
• 6:31
  I'm Geshi. What do you do?
• 6:32
  I'm a Bucher. And we started becoming closer.
• 6:35
  As we got closer, we got phone exchanged phone numbers.
• 6:37
  Back in the day was a big Zach. They have a phone number of a
• 6:40
  singer. You know, that's all you have is
• 6:42
  phone number. And I was, let's call it the
• 6:45
  agent. Back then there was no like
• 6:46
  agents, everybody today, managers and agents.
• 6:49
  I was one of Hassan called me up from all over and that's how my
• 6:52
  career started and becoming closer to singers and started
• 6:55
  calling me and they used to some of them used to give money.
• 6:57
  Some of them Mr. Nathan in the bigger business, let's say
• 7:00
  Kalamoto event. They used to give a big chunk of
• 7:03
  money. Here is here is money for you
• 7:05
  because you bought a can't call a kickback or Commission.
• 7:07
  That was my pay when it was my 1819, but that's how my music
• 7:12
  career started. Yeah.
• 7:14
  You know, by the way, a Commission is pay.
• 7:15
  That's really what it is essentially.
• 7:17
  And that's how. People should know that.
• 7:18
  People should definitely recognize that, yes, if
• 7:20
  someone's making a phone call for you and he's brokering
• 7:22
  something for you. Correct.
• 7:23
  He put in the effort, not that minute to make that phone call,
• 7:26
  but he put in the effort to build that relationship over the
• 7:29
  years. It's like R&D, you know,
• 7:31
  research and development. When a product comes out, it's
• 7:32
  like, how much does that pill cost to make a penny?
• 7:35
  You're not paying for that pill. You're paying for the research
• 7:37
  that went into it. Just like when someone's a
• 7:39
  broker and someone finds you a deal, not only does he deserve
• 7:42
  to get paid, he should get paid because of the information that
• 7:45
  he's bringing. Today's days I work on a
• 7:47
  production fee. Right, right.
• 7:48
  Different. Story it's a different story
• 7:50
  today's days when you put together from soup to nuts and
• 7:53
  every single item on the invoice comes up.
• 7:55
  But but by the way, I get those items for better prices in the
• 7:58
  production field. When I call up the 10s rental
• 8:01
  company, if it's a $10,000 rental, I squeeze them down to
• 8:04
  8500 or would set up 7500. There's a gap of $2500 which
• 8:09
  engaged in masters production and offers bored down.
• 8:12
  So I have the right to ask that fee.
• 8:15
  Right. That's how it works these days,
• 8:16
  but back then, that's how that started.
• 8:19
  Let's talk about back then. How did you get started?
• 8:21
  Where did you love for music come from?
• 8:23
  Where's your family? From where?
• 8:25
  Where? I am from Butter Park, OK father
• 8:27
  mother bought up and my mother's from Brazil, my father's from
• 8:30
  Williamsburg. I was brought up bread and
• 8:32
  butter and butter Park and raised in Butter Park and like I
• 8:36
  said before, my career started by coming home for me Shiva.
• 8:41
  I started loving music and the singers who actually singing the
• 8:45
  hassles back then. Maharsh Mesala Vashon was a
• 8:48
  friend of your OH. Big fan of Mahal Schnitzler.
• 8:49
  Yeah, yeah. You know what?
• 8:50
  She. I didn't listen to a lot of she
• 8:52
  music growing up, but Mikhail Schnitzler was a personal
• 8:55
  favorite of mine. I listened to him a lot,
• 8:57
  actually. He's everybody.
• 8:58
  He was a very diverse audience. He wasn't just targeting the
• 9:02
  season like he had his way about his voice.
• 9:04
  That was inviting for everyone. The.
• 9:06
  Way you finish every sentence. I love you, which they have.
• 9:10
  I love you. He had good.
• 9:11
  Energy. He had very good energy.
• 9:13
  Yes, yes, yes. And Mahal Schnitz was the first
• 9:16
  one to, let's call it, recognize Gershi.
• 9:19
  And talking about that, I knew all the singers from those
• 9:23
  Hafner business and HEPA business or Mitzvah Times
• 9:25
  business. I said to myself, if I know all
• 9:28
  these fingers, let me go into the Chasset world.
• 9:31
  If I have those credentials and credit, I if I have the phone
• 9:34
  number, why shouldn't I use it up for Chasset?
• 9:37
  There's a guy named the bar Park Schmidl Friedman, a young
• 9:40
  fellow, very talent in the marketing field.
• 9:42
  He called me what since you know them?
• 9:44
  He was a little known in the choir business.
• 9:46
  He was in the Sattner Choir. What can we do to make people
• 9:50
  happy? So what the organization was
• 9:52
  started some Hassan Efesh. That was the first thing before
• 9:56
  anybody thought of going to hospitals or the prisons.
• 9:59
  Was a skiddish back then with nurses going down to the wards,
• 10:02
  going down to prisons and getting those who?
• 10:05
  Who are you? My name is Geisha.
• 10:07
  How long? Ago.
• 10:08
  Was this when you started this? 27 years, 27 years ago, about 26
• 10:11
  years ago back then to go talk to a warden, a little young
• 10:15
  fellow like me. So what's your credentials?
• 10:17
  I I I I'm an agent, you know, to go talk to wardens and allow
• 10:21
  your calamoid into the hospital and to into jails and get
• 10:26
  everybody's social that the young, the distinguish should
• 10:28
  trust you. That's when Mahauschmesla was he
• 10:30
  started that recognizing what I have and dismal of him, call me.
• 10:33
  And that was the first thing what we did.
• 10:36
  Hospitals, jails, prisons, mental institutions,
• 10:39
  organization, nursing homes all day charms and that that's when
• 10:43
  the chassis world started before any makini organization or even
• 10:47
  high life. I used to call me before they
• 10:50
  got ahold of singers and players to to call them.
• 10:53
  I was the pest. I was the one who called them
• 10:55
  and I didn't. I didn't leave that phone alone
• 10:57
  until they picked up. You know that that came from
• 11:00
  Geisha masked with the pest. That was my name on the phone.
• 11:02
  You're not pleasantly persistent.
• 11:04
  You're unapologetically persistent.
• 11:06
  Exactly. Yeah, he's doing a good thing.
• 11:08
  Yes, because you are doing a good thing.
• 11:09
  It's a great 'cause exactly. Really nice, very nice idea is
• 11:12
  to lift people's spirits in places where they're very
• 11:16
  downtrodden and they're having a hard time with life.
• 11:19
  And then you waltz in, you know, where you and your fellow
• 11:21
  singers and popular people, and they take their time.
• 11:25
  In particular, talking about Mahal, he was going to pick me
• 11:27
  up for four, 3 1/2 to 4 years from the yeshiva.
• 11:29
  Mirren Flatbush went from the Ocean Parkway. 1:00 PM 2:00 PM.
• 11:33
  Gashing mask was waiting outside.
• 11:35
  We went to hospitals. We traveled to hospitals.
• 11:38
  OK, We went sometimes we travel Virginia Beach, we traveled for
• 11:41
  days. Minneapolis.
• 11:44
  That was the time he picked me up.
• 11:46
  And that's one time with the yeshiva.
• 11:47
  And that's what I did back then. That that that was the the trips
• 11:51
  of Hassadam. Interesting.
• 11:52
  And were you ready musical that do you play the instruments?
• 11:56
  No, I'm. I don't think I'm.
• 11:58
  Behind the scenes, I'm you're the guy, that's the, you're the
• 12:00
  mechanics behind it all. You get you put all the pieces
• 12:03
  in place. But that's how it started.
• 12:04
  Then I moved on to producing. So when I was 23, I got engaged.
• 12:10
  Bukashan. I got to know a year before that
• 12:13
  shleny gritner from England. That's English.
• 12:16
  I've heard of him, I don't know exactly.
• 12:18
  Who he is, of course, and you know some of his songs.
• 12:19
  I'm sure I do, yeah. Yeah, so, so from England then
• 12:23
  my cousin called me from a boat in Taban a lot which he was
• 12:28
  there and he when they pushed him onto the stage, the the
• 12:30
  Hawaiian pushed him on there and he went on.
• 12:32
  There was a DJ or was the baggage them?
• 12:35
  The phone call was about 8 to $9 a minute on the phone and he's
• 12:46
  saying that song and the whole crowd is singing, Oh, they want
• 12:49
  more. I'm talking to my phone.
• 12:51
  My cousin, she has his name. I said don't hang up that phone.
• 12:55
  I want to hear this voice Further.
• 12:56
  They asked for Mashiach, popular song Mashiach, Mashiach.
• 13:00
  So that was, and that went on for like a good 45 minutes an
• 13:04
  hour, that phone call and the cost thing, probably 150 to
• 13:07
  $1.00. Who paid for this phone call?
• 13:08
  I did wow. Because I knew I knew
• 13:10
  something's going to happen, like something maybe I still owe
• 13:13
  my cousin money. I'm not sure.
• 13:14
  So, so but when I heard that voice, how the crowd is begging
• 13:18
  for more and back then I think it was like everybody touched
• 13:21
  the mic. You had to know, I mean, not the
• 13:24
  people. I don't know.
• 13:25
  The person had to know how to handle a mic and deliver that
• 13:27
  song. I knew that this guy has
• 13:29
  something from then he got engaged, he came to New York.
• 13:32
  He actually sang about how Hopper and that's how Shlemi
• 13:36
  Gretna career started. And that's how I became in the a
• 13:39
  producer in the in the in the album production.
• 13:43
  Shlemi was my first and moved on to other Hasidic singers as
• 13:46
  ChatGPT says. And that's how my production
• 13:49
  started me that I had connection to singers of Hassanas.
• 13:53
  I was the agent and as we have the connection, I started doing
• 13:56
  in the world of Hassid and from then on I got to know bigger
• 13:59
  singers and produce their albums.
• 14:01
  I'm curious, what is your most proudest moment of work that you
• 14:05
  did with Slimy? Meaning to say with him alone.
• 14:09
  Yeah, with like a song that you came out with or something that.
• 14:13
  Something that Claudia's role sings, still sings today, which
• 14:16
  or she may not know about you. Definitely.
• 14:17
  What's his most iconic song? You're going to put me on the on
• 14:21
  the spot like that? I know he has a nice job of
• 14:23
  saying I'm song he has. A very good that singing shop is
• 14:25
  about another shopping song. Like which one?
• 14:26
  Malka. Sure.
• 14:27
  Oh, you're in Malka. This song, which we're going to
• 14:30
  get to soon, the podcast, you'll find out why it's so special to
• 14:34
  me. No.
• 14:34
  What? What are we waiting for?
• 14:35
  Go. Go.
• 14:36
  For let's, but we're going let's, let's first finish so
• 14:39
  that that's the song. And then when Rabiasi Green came
• 14:42
  out of the subway and came to Schlemmy Griffin's house, there
• 14:46
  was a subway bombing in England and he survived at Yasi.
• 14:50
  And an hour 2 later someone picked him up and took him to
• 14:52
  Schlemmy's house. They sat down by the piano.
• 14:54
  I had given Schlemmy words which I saw on top of Aquila's bed.
• 14:58
  Who is which is a famous song which language is sung up to
• 15:03
  today? Yes.
• 15:06
  You want to translate what that means.
• 15:07
  Who is those miracles? Hashem does miracles to all who
• 15:12
  believe in Him. And schlemmy, you'll see me add
• 15:15
  the words. With a little bit of faith.
• 15:17
  We'll all be safe. Wow, he's he's a very talented
• 15:20
  guy, you'll see by the way, and the things that he does.
• 15:22
  He's a what a magical moment that must have been He.
• 15:24
  Should be sitting in this chair, you know?
• 15:26
  What you should invite him? He should be sitting in this
• 15:28
  chair over there. OK, I'll definitely do this.
• 15:30
  I'll we'll get him here. Yeah, yeah.
• 15:32
  Where it's a sham. He's.
• 15:33
  Yeah, but when he comes, not only.
• 15:34
  That him and Heshi own a company called Jerry Medics.
• 15:37
  It's in our world, so we know the medical supply world well
• 15:40
  and years ago we used to deal with them.
• 15:43
  They service the healthcare facilities, so we're familiar
• 15:45
  with them from the business standpoint.
• 15:47
  It's interesting that it's it's not just music.
• 15:50
  An artist, someone who sings at night at concerts or coming out
• 15:52
  with album, has to have a day job as well.
• 15:54
  And he's. A he's not just, he just he not
• 15:56
  just plays music, singing music. Yossi is the can I know which.
• 16:00
  Happy birthday, you just celebrated a big birthday for
• 16:02
  him. Happy birthday, Yossi.
• 16:03
  That'd be Yossal Goodell. He's the probably the the
• 16:08
  biggest composer by Claudius role.
• 16:10
  A number of songs and popular songs.
• 16:12
  Probably after Really. Yossi Green has the biggest
• 16:16
  library of songs. That's a pretty good Lexi to
• 16:18
  leave behind. It is.
• 16:19
  It is. And if I if I tell you a song,
• 16:21
  Tanya, you know what it is. Tanya, I know that song.
• 16:23
  I actually love that song. If I tell you, you know what I
• 16:25
  mean. Yes, I know that song.
• 16:26
  And I can go on now to I don't want to say the number I.
• 16:28
  Actually know that. People don't realize that does.
• 16:29
  Adam Fritz sing Adorama, yeah. Adam Fritz from Yossi, Yes,
• 16:32
  yeah, from Yossi. So he composed that song.
• 16:34
  Now I can go on. D da Bay?
• 16:37
  Wow. No, you know it.
• 16:39
  The Bay called the Bay. Yes, yes.
• 16:41
  I'll go on. I don't want to get to the
• 16:43
  number. Well, yes, he's up to 'cause I
• 16:44
  know. Hundreds and hundreds of songs.
• 16:46
  I'm sorry, Thousands, thousands of songs.
• 16:47
  Can you imagine how many more thousands he hasn't?
• 16:49
  Like that's what happens when people produce music like
• 16:51
  they're singing. Songs, I mean if I tell you when
• 16:53
  I'm when he calls me to the piano and we sit down with the
• 16:55
  artist and we have that invitation.
• 16:57
  It's it's just magical that how the Hashem gives the hover to
• 17:01
  him to touch those keys and the song comes out on the spot.
• 17:06
  I mean on the spot at that hour, those two hours, sure and he
• 17:09
  sweats it out. That's beautiful and how a song
• 17:12
  is composed that that's again you can go on to the music field
• 17:15
  further. People don't know what it means
• 17:17
  producing an album. Unfortunately, today's days with
• 17:19
  people just sending around songs and tapping the the artist put
• 17:24
  in Koch's and money into this. Yeah.
• 17:26
  What does it mean as far as producing what you do?
• 17:29
  You do production, right? What is?
• 17:31
  What entails producing so? Again, that's not my main Ponosa
• 17:34
  right now, but what is not when? No, my main Ponosa is now
• 17:37
  parties events. OK, production events.
• 17:39
  Yeah, event production. Oh, OK.
• 17:41
  When did? You start doing that.
• 17:42
  When did you transition from the?
• 17:44
  Producing 16 years ago. Oh, so in the last 16 years
• 17:46
  you're not even producing Me I. Did I did I did.
• 17:48
  I can just I want to have kind of 2-3 Kindle make $15,000 on an
• 17:52
  album. Uh huh.
• 17:53
  Of producing it not arrangement. That's more of a hop now let's
• 17:55
  get let's get the word Michael. Let's get the word producing.
• 17:58
  What does the word producing mean?
• 17:59
  What's shot producing? Yes, Michael wants to give an
• 18:01
  album or she wants to give an album.
• 18:03
  What what what happens next? We need songs.
• 18:07
  The biggest trick of an album is songs that have the right
• 18:10
  component, the ingredients. What does it mean listening to a
• 18:14
  right song? It just sounds commercial that
• 18:16
  they sing by Hassans and Semkhas, right?
• 18:18
  That's what it means. What would that mean to do now?
• 18:21
  Once you hear that song, you have to hear the ear to this is
• 18:24
  going to be picked up by Claudia Stroll and then find the the the
• 18:28
  people to arrange that song. This guy's going to slow songs.
• 18:31
  This guy's going in a in a rock song.
• 18:33
  This guy's going to horror song, the disco song that takes
• 18:36
  producing the right the final touching album is mixing.
• 18:40
  When you hear a song that happens that hops the air is
• 18:43
  that clarity of the voice and the music together.
• 18:45
  That's called mixing. So that's called a producer.
• 18:48
  That's what I did back then, still do it likely these days,
• 18:51
  but my main source now of income is production of events, event
• 18:55
  producing. OK, very cool.
• 18:59
  So what kind of events are you doing?
• 19:01
  Like what is your anything? What's the largest event you've
• 19:04
  catered so far in your career? Which I worked for a couple of
• 19:07
  years was the CMS. Wow, that's a big one.
• 19:11
  But that's the same. They don't say over there, Yeah.
• 19:14
  That's pretty how many people attended the CMS?
• 19:17
  I worked for the MetLife Stadium for about, I would say easy 1516
• 19:22
  months or maybe even more, probably more.
• 19:24
  Two years, Probably close to two years.
• 19:26
  What you were preparing for two years.
• 19:27
  Yeah, on, on, on, Yeah on. Details of IT, security,
• 19:31
  staging, lighting, singing and then the last because.
• 19:35
  You weren't just a caterer, you were the.
• 19:36
  Party planner? Exactly.
• 19:38
  Event planner. Event planner.
• 19:39
  So I I hired you did all the logistics.
• 19:41
  I hired a party planner. I have a vision and I delivered
• 19:45
  it to a party planner and they set it up.
• 19:48
  Wow, so that was just the gig of the year for you?
• 19:51
  Like you didn't need any other just.
• 19:52
  Two years of work and the because of that event and taking
• 19:56
  apartments off to learn the doff and still do a daily book Hashem
• 19:59
  I which I met Hashem hopes there will be a Siam Oh wow on the
• 20:04
  air. Nice on none of your business
• 20:05
  podcasts. It's at the end of the gym, God.
• 20:07
  Willing. When is that?
• 20:08
  6627 the mess Hashem. Wow, that's a Sunday, so let's
• 20:11
  figure loyal shushi before, OK? 6624 I'll be with you.
• 20:14
  Put into the calendar. Wow, wow, that is exciting
• 20:17
  stuff. So you started the doff after
• 20:19
  you got involved? On this stage also let me get
• 20:21
  there the date, the month now three weeks before that seemed
• 20:25
  MetLife was sold out. They they opened up Barclay
• 20:28
  somewhere in Bunima to call to be outside in the winter.
• 20:30
  It was New Year's Eve so they said it was too cold to them to
• 20:33
  be in MetLife. They opened up Barclay in
• 20:35
  Brooklyn. So I shifted over the morning of
• 20:38
  MetLife we went to Barclays. There was a night before there
• 20:42
  was a sponsor event for all the sponsors because I did that
• 20:44
  event and Precipiti Hilton was for about 1500 people, the
• 20:49
  sponsors and the families and the spouse and the the work is
• 20:53
  we moved on from Parsippany Hilton to 4:00 in the morning to
• 20:55
  MetLife and 7:15 I was in Barclay Stadium setting up for
• 21:00
  the my. Goodness, how many people were
• 21:02
  at the CMS, Ross? 92 fit into MetLife 9090 It's
• 21:06
  it's it's it's actually a history.
• 21:08
  I want you to check it. What 190?
• 21:09
  Two what, 92? We have Steph here.
• 21:11
  He's going. To look on CMS shots by in
• 21:14
  MetLife Stadium. How many people fit in MetLife
• 21:16
  Stadium? Doesn't fit that much but the
• 21:17
  floor was full so it's about 92. So keep saying 9200 and 2000
• 21:22
  thousand thousand 2000 almost 100,000.
• 21:25
  More than a supper house, we're. In that, in that, in that
• 21:27
  MetLife. Stadium, you know, more than
• 21:30
  more than any house that you've seen, but yes, yes.
• 21:32
  The most the most I've seen the house with 1000 people 1500.
• 21:35
  People by the real house. No, my weddings have been my
• 21:38
  1320. Thousand I've been to.
• 21:40
  What does it say there, Steph? 93,000 people filled the
• 21:44
  stadium. EMA shots 93,000 people filled.
• 21:47
  I said 92. That would be nice.
• 21:48
  See. Hold on, Scroll down a second
• 21:49
  Steph, I want. To see what city, it's a city of
• 21:52
  people. Literally.
• 21:54
  And this time around is going to be 5 or 6 times that amount
• 21:57
  finishing shots. Just so you know, you beat Ed
• 21:59
  Sheeran. That's a very big deal.
• 22:01
  I mean, like, to me at least, I mean, you beat Jet Giants, you
• 22:04
  beat Ed Sheeran. Is #1 and Ed Sheeran is number
• 22:07
  2, and The Jets and Giants is number 3.
• 22:11
  But that's fascinating. This is the most recorded people
• 22:14
  ever to be in attendance at the MetLife Stadium, which was
• 22:18
  unbelievable. You helped produce that entire
• 22:20
  event took over 2 years. What was the budget on that?
• 22:24
  Oh, great question, millions. What give it?
• 22:26
  Give me a name. And my humble opinion, which I
• 22:28
  don't know because there's a name sponsor, which I don't want
• 22:30
  to say the name of the air, that's something of a person.
• 22:33
  I would say easy, easy 7.58 million of the course from soup
• 22:38
  to nuts. Right.
• 22:39
  So yeah, and the money making event unless there's sponsors.
• 22:42
  And there is sponsors, there's definitely sponsors and there's
• 22:44
  ticket sales. Don't you have to buy tickets,
• 22:45
  correct. You have to buy a bunch of
• 22:46
  people there. They're a bottom get right, you
• 22:48
  know, so that they is get and but again, but that's that's the
• 22:51
  you see the 93,000 that's A and then and then.
• 22:54
  They give that a proper meal. Or it was just so Michael Sheikh
• 22:57
  catered the the whole entire top 4 was in the cubic and the
• 23:01
  cubicles we have to go sweets. They had they had food for them,
• 23:05
  but I was not a. Regular attendee in the stands,
• 23:08
  you know. You're getting Libra's potato
• 23:09
  chips. Come, they gave you a bag.
• 23:10
  They just. They got a bag with a watermark,
• 23:12
  I'm sorry, and a cookie. Say it's not like the no because
• 23:16
  I was at the event of HABAD where they have like I think
• 23:19
  10,000. People from the.
• 23:20
  Showroom event, right? Then you get a meal.
• 23:23
  How Right. That's a meal.
• 23:24
  Yeah. How many people?
• 23:25
  How many thousands of people? Probably that amount that how
• 23:27
  many people are sitting at the Habad event on an annual basis.
• 23:29
  But there the caterer is who at the Habadam?
• 23:31
  It's Sharf. Sharf and Shamaya Grumwald are
• 23:34
  together I think I heard once that they have like a penalty if
• 23:37
  they don't bring the food out in timers opposite they're bringing
• 23:39
  food on top. How does it work?
• 23:40
  Can you explain? It if you get that every minute
• 23:42
  that the main course comes out before there's a fat check
• 23:45
  waiting for you. A bonus.
• 23:46
  A bonus, Yeah. So you have to set up the stage,
• 23:49
  the lighting, No. No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 23:50
  I don't actually physically do it.
• 23:51
  But you're arranging that again. I had my, my, my tasks of that
• 23:55
  Was that to be done right? You ever seeing it?
• 23:57
  Yeah. The musical part, of course.
• 23:59
  There's a very talented visual name.
• 24:00
  Is Schmoly Rosenberg forward New York City.
• 24:02
  He deserves the plug. He he is in charge fully of that
• 24:05
  event and I'm good of course, but he's on top of that.
• 24:09
  He's on top of all the logistics.
• 24:10
  I had a task list and from that stadium I had to move on to
• 24:14
  Barclay. Barclay was another 19,000.
• 24:17
  Wow. And this time around Massasham
• 24:18
  6627, it's probably going to be 5 times that amount.
• 24:21
  Can I know? Wow, we're putting everybody.
• 24:24
  And a couple of stadiums in Massasham.
• 24:25
  So meaning just. Can't give it away yet, but
• 24:27
  they're they're already talking in a couple of.
• 24:29
  Come on, come on. Is it any of our business?
• 24:31
  Can we? Can we know?
• 24:32
  Message We'll come back for two. OK, OK, OK.
• 24:35
  No. That's what What?
• 24:36
  An event? That's crazy.
• 24:38
  The scale, the sheer size of this event is mind blowing.
• 24:42
  I'm curious, did anything go wrong that like you remember and
• 24:45
  like, Oh my God, I did not expect this.
• 24:47
  I'm a. Bunch of things went wrong, but
• 24:48
  behind the scene, nothing else, no just technicalities.
• 24:51
  A singer arriving a minute before going on stage time.
• 24:54
  He had traffic he had. He had no idea how to go into
• 24:56
  the back door to get to that stage.
• 24:58
  That that's what I'm curious about.
• 24:59
  What other things? Happen if I walk in the stadium.
• 25:02
  Right. So just to get to the stage.
• 25:03
  But he had to go to the car, get to the the security guard in the
• 25:08
  stadium. No, he's the singer.
• 25:09
  Who? Who was the singer?
• 25:11
  Like an investigation? Is he on the credentialist park
• 25:14
  in front of that door running? He's not a small, small singing
• 25:17
  guy. He's a he's a cousin, an imam,
• 25:19
  and there's a big deal. Who's saying it?
• 25:21
  I think it's my health gut. Oh he's going running saying
• 25:24
  saying actually the the an imam. OK, but the Misha bear.
• 25:28
  Yeah, yeah, I want. To hear him sing, I don't want
• 25:30
  to see him run, I'm sorry. Exactly.
• 25:31
  But by the time him running and on those headphones, he heard
• 25:35
  those noise. Pass gate 2, pass gate 3, pass
• 25:37
  4. Garish.
• 25:38
  Are you on Park? Are you on Park 'cause they have
• 25:39
  to be to see him has to be in the same time.
• 25:42
  So those nail biting moments, you don't hear, you don't see
• 25:44
  what's going on. But on those headphones and
• 25:46
  those mics, you see people in the mics, those producers as
• 25:49
  it's nail biting. It has to be it's it's on the
• 25:51
  time. Just like this podcast was set
• 25:54
  for time and out on time. What kind of what kind of
• 25:57
  security did you have over there?
• 25:59
  So it was after. I imagine the city giving you
• 26:01
  some security as well. They gave you additional and.
• 26:03
  I look at the amount of people, the security and the dogs that
• 26:06
  have to pass the FBII got a message on my phone a few days
• 26:08
  before the scene. Hey, it's I.
• 26:11
  Don't forget the name of the guy, Frank or whatever from the
• 26:13
  FBI. Please call.
• 26:15
  Whoa, you know what I'm saying? I have no idea why.
• 26:17
  You never went to FBI. But it's a text message, so I
• 26:19
  hope I. Hope you called your lawyer
• 26:20
  first, yeah? No, no, I called back.
• 26:22
  I wasn't afraid. I called back.
• 26:24
  Yes, we're calling. Reference of the CM.
• 26:26
  They wanted to come to Berkeley enough in the morning, enough
• 26:29
  before people arrive to check on the seats of both seats.
• 26:32
  They went to the screen that was in Brooklyn.
• 26:33
  Now imagine what's going on. MetLife.
• 26:35
  Wow. There was a citizen guy dressed
• 26:37
  up like a host in MetLife Stadium.
• 26:39
  It looked like an ordinary casita shape person.
• 26:42
  Yeah, a pat and a short jacket, an orange beard.
• 26:45
  Yeah, he was part of the MBR. He was homing then.
• 26:48
  Tall your time. He was part of the crowd.
• 26:51
  He. Blended.
• 26:51
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, he looked good.
• 26:53
  He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 26:57
  They give it to Steph. We're gonna have to put it up on
• 26:58
  our YouTube. Movies, a lot of times they try
• 27:00
  to portray casita ship people. They never get it right.
• 27:03
  They always look like very ridiculous.
• 27:05
  And if the pay is hanging? Exactly with the beard.
• 27:07
  Like whoever does the makeup needs to get a little lesson on
• 27:10
  how to see them actually look. It's always terrible.
• 27:12
  But you're telling me it sounds like he really.
• 27:14
  By the way, I'll show you pictures soon.
• 27:16
  You. Tell the feds the next time you
• 27:18
  do an event like this. I'm not even kidding.
• 27:19
  I have a cousin, he's a Khazishi guy in Muncie and he is the one
• 27:23
  that dresses up all the people that do plays in the Casita
• 27:25
  show. World's name Grunfeld.
• 27:27
  She's your cousin. Yeah.
• 27:28
  You know he is. Yes, Yeah, yeah.
• 27:30
  Yeah, that was when he said I want to say him.
• 27:32
  So right, that's the guy the feds should hire him.
• 27:34
  He does a great job. He.
• 27:36
  Dressed me up and put him as what as La Baba tribe.
• 27:39
  I'll show you soon. You dressed up as La Baba tribe.
• 27:42
  The biggest event that you did that you planned All right, What
• 27:44
  was the second biggest? A bris it's.

  Yeah, I've done another event for also for the Good and
• 28:01
  Berkeley and I'm sorry and Bell works another big event after

  and all those are details and it's it's a it's a headache
• 28:18
  event and glitches cannot happen.
• 28:21
  But those are those are big. But let's talk about small
• 28:23
  events, corporate parties, boats, yachts, you know, and as
• 28:27
  as I came in before and I bought the food over here.
• 28:29
  I forgot a bag of my car in in our line of work.
• 28:33
  There's no such thing as the word sorry.
• 28:34
  He can be sorry if you don't have that bag over here by this
• 28:37
  event. It's over, Yeah.
• 28:40
  I'm sorry it didn't have wood or sell size.
• 28:41
  It doesn't happen, right. And you know, that's something
• 28:44
  that the word it's a it's a very responsible job.
• 28:46
  Yeah. And.
• 28:48
  You got to be detailed, you got to be organized, and it's full
• 28:51
  of stress, it sounds like. And we did it right so far.
• 28:55
  Neighbors should give a call about that so that you can
• 28:57
  continue and. You're a team of how many
• 28:58
  people? Full time, yeah.
• 29:01
  Three people, 3 people. And then we move on to have many
• 29:03
  no. You're hiring production people
• 29:05
  underneath. It's all vendoring.
• 29:06
  How many people? Are running this event at the
• 29:08
  CMS for example. Staff wise, yeah.
• 29:10
  MetLife. Yeah, all together.
• 29:12
  Are you talking with the MetLife staff or the staff that we?
• 29:14
  Hired no staff that you hired not the MetLife staff.
• 29:16
  No other staff. You're mostly interested in your
• 29:17
  staff, but yeah. Easily, easily 3 to 500.
• 29:21
  Wow, Right, Right. With crowd control and giving
• 29:24
  out the the showing your chair stage right, crowd control,
• 29:29
  parking control. Let me ask you a question.
• 29:31
  I'm just curious, just popped into my head.
• 29:33
  Imagine the state of Israel called you up and said we want
• 29:35
  you to produce the Lagba Omer Mayron event every year.
• 29:39
  Would you do anything different? What would pop into your head
• 29:42
  like, you know, experience that you have?
• 29:44
  Because I I saw a few things recently in the past.
• 29:46
  Year I would do better in the music and music in general and
• 29:49
  music in general. You think the speaker wise or?
• 29:52
  Sounds and just production wise, right?
• 29:55
  People watch this all over the world.
• 29:56
  Give them something, Haltsik. Give them something.
• 29:59
  That's a great point, by the way, because as you're walking
• 30:00
  you. Music, you know?
• 30:02
  You know this guy's musical too, by the way.
• 30:03
  Yes, I. Had the honor of sitting in his
• 30:05
  house by his piano. This is the piano.
• 30:08
  Really. What?
• 30:09
  My guitar. Guitar, Guitar.
• 30:11
  You're right. His guitar.
• 30:12
  You almost freaked me out. I was like, there's something.
• 30:14
  But he probably plays piano. He probably plays piano too.
• 30:18
  Yeah, not publicly. There you go.
• 30:19
  Yeah, Jimmy, list of things he doesn't do.
• 30:22
  I have a full list of the. Music at night and you.
• 30:25
  Know that list inside out we. Should go there please.
• 30:27
  This is on that list. He's very musical.
• 30:29
  So first of all, you understand music.
• 30:31
  Yeah, I would do that. The music go to.
• 30:32
  I like that idea, by the way, in general, anybody, anybody that's
• 30:34
  listening that's ever gone to me, Rowan for like Berman knows
• 30:37
  the music is so spotty. Everywhere you go, you hear it.
• 30:39
  You don't hear. You know, what do you say to
• 30:41
  people? Get to of Shiman's caver.
• 30:44
  How was your feeling when you said I have been there a bunch
• 30:46
  of times and I saw the feeling in reality or you watch it on
• 30:50
  YouTube live maroon live and you see those people going to that
• 30:53
  cave where they slept out them around because they needed you
• 30:55
  Shia. Then they needed a FUA, which we
• 30:58
  all know people the new FUA and you get that and boom you're
• 31:01
  being pushed. I traveled for this 36 hours to
• 31:04
  get to this place minimum. Let me stand there for 2 minutes
• 31:08
  and cry my heart out. Don't just people.
• 31:10
  The shamans are not garbage, especially after the maroon
• 31:13
  treasury. We're not going to get there.
• 31:14
  They got Stampede you. You finally made it to The Cave
• 31:17
  and give me two minutes to dive in and then a timer buzzes out
• 31:22
  by the Baba service cave just two days ago.
• 31:23
  There's your site and it came to people standing didn't shove you
• 31:27
  out. Stayed by The Cave a bit as the
• 31:29
  Rebbe whatever you want move on and I say there, but you get to
• 31:33
  the it's maroon people travel to Israel from Australia.
• 31:36
  They want to have kindle the needle of food and let them
• 31:39
  stand. That's what I would fix.
• 31:41
  Crowd control, all right. Yeah, you said crowd control.
• 31:44
  That made that makes a lot of sense.
• 31:45
  Every big event, the art is doing the crowd control.
• 31:48
  That's always one of the most difficult things.
• 31:49
  I mean, I did events in Barber Park and grand opening for Toys
• 31:52
  for You, which you'll see. It's cool.
• 31:53
  It's a big buck has it. He opens on Barber Park.
• 31:56
  There were thousands and thousands of kids and families.
• 32:00
  I hired the Shamim of Barber Park.
• 32:01
  If I remember it was it was Shamir.
• 32:03
  I wrote no one of the two organizations, or maybe both,
• 32:06
  and crowd control isn't the head thing.
• 32:08
  Yeah, I'll tell you something interesting.
• 32:09
  They did in May run this past year for the first time, and I
• 32:11
  thought it was awesome. Everywhere you walked in the
• 32:14
  beginning area where the Balagan is, the mess, especially when
• 32:19
  you're leaving or coming, the busing of transportation, of
• 32:22
  knowing where to go and where not to go is such a convoluted
• 32:24
  mess. About 5 point.
• 32:27
  Exactly where to go with the everybody who's listening to
• 32:29
  this now is remembering horses when the police and pushing and
• 32:33
  stuffing and waiting for the bus.
• 32:34
  And not knowing where to go, that's what bothers me.
• 32:36
  Yeah. And we see those clips I'm.
• 32:38
  Going to give you a tip of what they did and you should think
• 32:39
  about it in the future if you're doing ever productions.
• 32:41
  They had neon lights in different colors with signs
• 32:46
  everywhere. So you identify if you're going
• 32:48
  back to Jerusalem, you're on the blue line.
• 32:50
  If you're going back to Tel Aviv, you're on the yellow line
• 32:52
  and they had six different neon colors yellow, blue-green, red
• 32:55
  and everywhere you you walked, you saw if you're on blue,
• 32:58
  you're going to Jerusalem. Follow the blue lights and from
• 33:01
  far you could see a string of neon blue lights where the blue
• 33:05
  buses are and where the green bus.
• 33:06
  And it was really, really smart for the first time.
• 33:08
  And I've been going for over 2 decades.
• 33:10
  Wow. So it's the first I just been
• 33:13
  going since I'm a kid. I I I I feel like going I.
• 33:15
  Wouldn't say he's that old, he's not that young, but he's not
• 33:17
  that. Old I feel like going to going
• 33:20
  to these places sometimes becomes commercialized.
• 33:22
  You know, I go, I'm going to may run.
• 33:23
  But like you're saying it and it's true.
• 33:25
  A lot of people are going for, you know, salvation of some sort
• 33:28
  or, you know, people, you know, we are living in the times of
• 33:32
  Mashiach, which I feel very strongly about, you know, so you
• 33:37
  have to recognize that the need of people going to these places,
• 33:39
  they take it seriously and it's a serious thing and it's.
• 33:42
  You know, there's a big Hibbish talking about so they can we'll
• 33:43
  go to the subject for a second on none of your business
• 33:46
  podcast. That's a Hibbish, right.
• 33:48
  When is rabbit the the time that rabbit Kiva's your outside?
• 33:52
  This is going to go viral because people have no idea, you
• 33:56
  know, do you know? Black bomber?
• 33:58
  No. Do you know?
• 33:58
  No, you're not going to believe when the Kiva the time that
• 34:01
  rabbit Kiva's your outside is and then when going to the
• 34:03
  subject, how come there's not people there in that day?
• 34:07
  The holiest night of the area in Kipper night is the time that of
• 34:11
  Kiva's you thought which he lost 40,000 Tommy them that of Akiva
• 34:15
  was 40,000 Tommy them and it stopped.
• 34:17
  And like Boeing is there. Isn't that a kid?
• 34:20
  There's that the night of Akiva's outside to to be
• 34:23
  millions of people just like Omaha Shoshana.
• 34:25
  Yeah, I mean, I mean, I'm just saying a minimum, right?
• 34:31
  So I asked my Rebbe these things and he answered me more.
• 34:35
  A lot of Nashrummers are connected to us.
• 34:38
  Ebshimbad, who is in Neshama is connected to us.
• 34:40
  So we feel when we ask and we get answered, it's how many kids
• 34:44
  kind of Shimon, right? Kids to little children.
• 34:46
  They make the option that the option is there because it's the
• 34:49
  Shimon's collect is connected to people.
• 34:52
  Eva Kiva is is so such a highly gonna Shimon, such a holy soul,
• 34:57
  that he's way, way up there. It is removed from.
• 35:00
  This is. How do we start run kipper
• 35:02
  night? Or is the real asadek and they
• 35:05
  usually some have the toilet by the beamer right?
• 35:07
  The Sofi tavers of or is the real Asadek and they usually
• 35:10
  have some kind of red Akiva that's we started that night he
• 35:14
  was killed and I'm. So we do give a little bit of a
• 35:17
  symbolic message. Yeah, but I'm just saying I'm
• 35:19
  talking. Translate what you just said for
• 35:21
  all our non Jewish listeners. But it's impossible and even for
• 35:24
  the Jewish listeners, good for everybody you could translate.
• 35:27
  No, but I'm just saying if it doesn't I like.
• 35:29
  What you're saying Moskowitz, your name, your, your upbringing
• 35:32
  is a certain sect of Hasidim is a certain type or is it just bar
• 35:35
  park, Williamsburg or how do you identify?
• 35:37
  What? How do you identify what I am?
• 35:40
  A square. Okay, my parents were square.
• 35:44
  So why didn't you grow up in New Square?
• 35:45
  Why weren't? I live in bar park, the square
• 35:47
  header. Okay.
• 35:48
  I have a brother living in new square because he went to
• 35:51
  yeshiva down square high by 13. I went out to different Shiva.
• 35:54
  So there's a new square following in Brooklyn of.
• 35:57
  Course all over I'm. Surprised.
• 35:59
  How can they all live next to the river and exactly?
• 36:01
  What I'm saying they bought a bar park.
• 36:03
  They married Bar Park. Yeah.
• 36:04
  So it's. So that's the way it all goes.
• 36:06
  Interesting. Yeah.
• 36:08
  But I'm a square hosted that my rabbit now is a marker Steiner.
• 36:11
  If you heard of him on Muncie, I did not.
• 36:13
  He's my rabbit here, a big topic.
• 36:15
  So you're calling him for these types of questions?
• 36:17
  Yeah. I mean, yeah, he's my rabbit,
• 36:19
  Yeah. Yeah, take me back if you don't
• 36:23
  mind, because we said earlier that you're going to talk about
• 36:25
  it later. Guess what?
• 36:26
  It's later. You said earlier the, the, the
• 36:28
  story about, you know, Schlaimi and the the song.
• 36:32
  And you mentioned that there's a name and, and a whole background
• 36:35
  of it. I'd like to hear it please.
• 36:37
  This is where it gets to a little emotional part of my
• 36:39
  business. So as we we heard before in my
• 36:42
  history, by the way, she's very quiet.
• 36:45
  You should talk. What do you mean I'm quite?
• 36:46
  No, just ask me questions like Michael.
• 36:48
  No, no, no, no, no. This is Michael's area of
• 36:50
  expertise when it comes to music.
• 36:53
  I don't step on Michael's or emotions.
• 36:55
  I happen. I happen not to be a big music
• 36:58
  follower. Like if you know me a little
• 37:00
  bit, I like music. Like if I'm just in the
• 37:02
  background, just playing. But I don't care for music.
• 37:04
  I certainly don't care for the intricacies of it and the, you
• 37:08
  know, the things that people love, how to compose, who sings,
• 37:11
  what sports. Yankees No.
• 37:14
  Sure. Not now.
• 37:15
  Right now they're doing terrible.
• 37:16
  They they, they're on a slump a little bit.
• 37:18
  They're a little bit out of. Two games, I thought athletics,
• 37:20
  did they want them? There.
• 37:21
  That was the last series. We're close.
• 37:22
  It's good, good. You're holding.
• 37:23
  With Mets are coming. Mets are coming.
• 37:25
  What do you mean coming this this weekend?
• 37:27
  They're coming to town. Subway Series?
• 37:29
  Oh, no, that's terrible. We're not ready for them.
• 37:30
  It's happening. We actually also struggling
• 37:32
  right now, the Mets. So it's just a good shit at the
• 37:34
  end, they're going to be them. It's a clash of the two
• 37:36
  struggling teams, but that's what makes me happy.
• 37:39
  That's what I like to follow, that's what I enjoy, that's what
• 37:41
  I do. I'm playing baseball tonight.
• 37:43
  I have a game tonight in music. Look forward to it.
• 37:46
  What in? Music.
• 37:47
  Hot dogs. What's going on?
• 37:49
  Every He's trying to try to lift my spirits.
• 37:52
  I'm doing. Fine, I'm you're going to be
• 37:53
  playing. I want to root for you.
• 37:55
  I like that. By the way, at the end of the
• 37:57
  podcast, we always ask our guests if you have any questions
• 38:00
  for us. So we'll get back to that in a
• 38:01
  minute, but go ahead. So I'm sorry, now don't worry.
• 38:04
  We're like you said, we're an ADD podcast.
• 38:06
  It's all good, it happens, but I'm the guy that gets us back
• 38:08
  into. Gear it's better.
• 38:09
  Perfect. Michael's the referee, he keeps
• 38:11
  these good plays. So back about two years ago,
• 38:19
  yeah, about two years ago, I'm not going to go into detail how
• 38:21
  it happened, that happened. My kidneys stopped functioning.
• 38:26
  I developed chronic kidney failure and loyal annual, which
• 38:31
  means it shouldn't happen to anybody.
• 38:32
  To Jewish listeners and non Jewish listeners.
• 38:34
  No one should be in that case of going on to a dialysis machine.
• 38:39
  I was 9 to 10 months on dialysis, which is literally a
• 38:44
  living house arrest. You can't do nothing.
• 38:49
  You are sitting five hours on a machine.
• 38:52
  When you come home, you're stressed out and no coyote, no
• 38:55
  strength, and you just can't do nothing.
• 38:58
  The mood is down. By the time the caller comes
• 39:00
  back the next day, this friend comes back.
• 39:03
  You have to go again. How many days a week were you
• 39:05
  going? I was going here and how many?
• 39:07
  Days a week. 3/3 times Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
• 39:10
  And it's not easy, which I'll have to tell you.
• 39:13
  Yeah. So that's what I went through.
• 39:17
  And being that we said before, the whole history of my music,
• 39:22
  what I did. So back then when I was going to
• 39:26
  hospitals, those, I mean, I still do it now, as I said
• 39:28
  before. But back then when I was really
• 39:31
  into it, before the my mother was Nifter and Mikimi, the
• 39:34
  organization kicked in. I was going strongly.
• 39:38
  There was a little girl named Love quote for this, for the
• 39:40
  podcast Malki, which people know the the story, but people, a lot
• 39:44
  of people don't know the story and they haven't heard in
• 39:46
  English either. A little girl named Malki.
• 39:48
  This Malki had cancer and a bad stage of it and we asked me why
• 39:57
  she's like what? Which song made the biggest
• 39:59
  impact on me in history? She's only had the CD then
• 40:02
  called Nissim and the second song was called Malka, quite a
• 40:06
  show from Shabbos and Malka which the Shabbos queen, This
• 40:09
  girl name was named Malky at that time.
• 40:12
  When we came to sing for her the first year we sent singers like
• 40:16
  3-4 years to her Thursday and Friday.
• 40:18
  Thursday she was in Memorial Hospital and Friday when she
• 40:22
  came home. I tried sending every Friday.
• 40:24
  To the family shouldn't be out of Shabbos chaos while the
• 40:28
  mother was cooking a special family they were close to my
• 40:30
  family as well the you know I mean which is not a secret.
• 40:34
  My name is Waldman Malky Waldman.
• 40:36
  My parents are very close to his parents and that's why I favored
• 40:39
  this case a lot because my father, mother kept on asking
• 40:42
  did you do something? Did you do something?
• 40:43
  So I did the most I can for this little 80 year old soul Malky
• 40:46
  because family wise. How old were you at the time?
• 40:49
  I was 2022. You you were single.
• 40:53
  I was still single. Yeah.
• 40:54
  OK, go ahead. Which I, which I was single
• 40:56
  because of what I did as well in our world of Hasidim, which was
• 41:03
  I was, I wouldn't call myself a bomb, but an outcast because I
• 41:07
  was not even Shiva sending out you.
• 41:08
  Weren't learning or. Yeah, so I was dancing in front
• 41:12
  of nurses and taking them to hospitals.
• 41:14
  And, you know, that's who I was, right?
• 41:16
  My father, mother begged me to stop doing it.
• 41:18
  I said I'm continuing to do it. And I got slacked for it.
• 41:20
  But I I did not stop. Good for you.
• 41:22
  Yeah, I did what I had a feeling to do and I don't regret it up
• 41:25
  to today's days, which we'll get into it.
• 41:27
  Why So this Malky I did a lot for and and from 89891011 about
• 41:36
  four years, but she was 12 Bas Mitzvah.
• 41:38
  I get a letter from Malky and says I exceeded all fingers and
• 41:42
  a ton of entertainment. I'll appreciate it.
• 41:45
  I'll appreciate it for the rest of my life up to the last day of
• 41:48
  my life at 12 years old. And let's move on on to special
• 41:52
  days. Hanukkah Piram, she's.
• 41:55
  Asking you to slow it down. Slow it down.
• 41:57
  And being that she's growing out, right?
• 41:59
  So I listened to her and I followed up those four days that
• 42:02
  she asked those special days. But eventually, those four
• 42:05
  years, those four times a year also paid out.
• 42:07
  My mother was in the middle. Yeah.
• 42:09
  And we lost contact. We Fast forward as when before
• 42:13
  in the podcast, we spoke 16 years ago, I started doing full
• 42:16
  events from soup to nuts, and I started doing events for Renewal
• 42:20
  as well. Renewal is our esteemed friend
• 42:23
  Mendy Reinertsadek, which is very close to your dear brother
• 42:28
  David, if you're allowed to say that.
• 42:30
  Older brother. Younger brother.
• 42:32
  Twin brother, Twin brother. It's for another part.
• 42:34
  Now I know where the hazard comes from, which one of my
• 42:38
  events I've done for David himself, for Met Met Council.
• 42:41
  Yeah. Was it my my most emotional
• 42:43
  event? 750 Holocaust survivors.
• 42:46
  Wow. And Heim Solomon nursing home.
• 42:48
  Unfortunately today if he wants to do event Hanukkah, I think
• 42:51
  we're down to 100. That's crazy. 750 How that was
• 42:55
  David Squire from that council, and Heinz is there.
• 42:58
  A video of that of the event. I did that event.
• 43:01
  Was there a video of it? I have it.
• 43:03
  All these things you're gonna have to send us by all these
• 43:04
  pictures. And videos.
• 43:05
  That's crazy, 700. 50 Holocaust survivors in one room.
• 43:09
  And met council and shout out to them and and David your.
• 43:12
  Brother, it's. The only organization that's
• 43:15
  focusing only solely on all Holocaust survivors, people that
• 43:18
  are from all walks of life in the in in and need a place and
• 43:22
  like a center that they can. Award them and make.
• 43:25
  Sure, they get what to eat and they have things to do during
• 43:27
  holidays. And really beautiful, yeah.
• 43:29
  Fortunately, we're down to almost 0, which is almost
• 43:31
  forgotten. It's.
• 43:32
  Only a matter of time. After that, there was one of the
• 43:34
  emotional events. I did so Mendy was just very
• 43:38
  close to David. Mendy's a gem of a person.
• 43:41
  People don't know what to ask me is what a special soul is he?
• 43:44
  Started renewal. This guy Mendy?
• 43:45
  Mendy is the founder of renewal correct which which is that
• 43:49
  which they're up to right now, all close to $1300 close to
• 43:54
  1300. Jesus holds giving away kidneys.
• 43:56
  Wow. Which is tremendous.
• 43:59
  Which which the the renewal deserve deserve their shout out.
• 44:02
  Yeah, on None of your business podcast, Mendy Rekheim,
• 44:05
  Steinmetz, Mayim, left Woods Dovatisha and Nacham Friedman.
• 44:09
  I can go on to the whole organization.
• 44:11
  What a bunch of mallochem are people in that organization and
• 44:15
  of course the Khali's role to all the Jewish people who
• 44:19
  donated, 2 Jewish people and two non Jewish people which how many
• 44:23
  lives they saved. Back to our story, 16 years ago
• 44:26
  I started doing full events. So I be, I started becoming
• 44:30
  close to the renewal organization, running the
• 44:32
  chabatons, doing their events, small events, barbecues, so on
• 44:35
  and so forth. And being that I'm close to
• 44:37
  them, they, you know, they tried helping as much as I can with
• 44:40
  expediting a kidney. But on the floor, I had to cure
• 44:43
  myself from head to toe to receive a kidney, had to make
• 44:46
  sure my heart is healthy, the feet are healthy, tooth, teeth,
• 44:50
  everything has to be checked all checklist.
• 44:53
  And that's what I did and that's what took long in my time
• 44:56
  because being on dialysis and going to make sure you're
• 44:59
  healthy, the results stress test, cardiogram, void, void on
• 45:04
  etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. So it took time for me to get
• 45:07
  that permit to go ahead to get to receive a kidney.
• 45:10
  So they tried expediting and every time I had a meeting with
• 45:13
  renewal, which I'm pretty close to the organization, I came late
• 45:17
  find a parking spot in bar park, which is an hour.
• 45:20
  It took me an hour and 15 minutes.
• 45:21
  I have. To bring them.
• 45:21
  Sushi. Yeah, true, true.
• 45:24
  Which I have to show the sushi that I gave to them.
• 45:25
  I gave them a kidney sushi. I'll show you soon.
• 45:28
  Did you really? I gave them a kidney sushi.
• 45:29
  We'll show it on the air for the podcast.
• 45:31
  I'm Steve. Steve, Stephen.
• 45:33
  Stephen. I hope you remember those things
• 45:34
  that have to. Don't worry, he listens up.
• 45:37
  This is what he does at night. He listens to the podcast Which?
• 45:39
  He deserve a shout out to myself, you know, an amazing
• 45:41
  producer sitting behind those cameras.
• 45:43
  Thanks for everything SO. He's complimented him more in
• 45:48
  like 8 minutes than we've done in in two years.
• 45:51
  Which I'm getting to you soon. I went to Michael, I went to
• 45:54
  Steph in the mix. I asked you why I'm going to
• 45:57
  talk about your baseball soon. I'm I'm going down to the field
• 46:00
  tonight taking pictures of you. Just to let you know,
• 46:02
  photographer's on the way. So I hope you had a Grand Slam
• 46:05
  tonight. So the bottom line.
• 46:10
  So it took me a while to find parking.
• 46:11
  I was late. And every time I came to a
• 46:13
  meeting to prep me for receiving talk about it hour late.
• 46:19
  I'll see this time what I'll tell you the day of the
• 46:22
  transplant, which was last August.
• 46:26
  It's almost going to be a year, which is now nine months.
• 46:30
  Thank you, Ocean. How long have you been in
• 46:32
  dialysis until you got to this point?
• 46:33
  910 months. 910 months. So this whole thing happened
• 46:36
  like 3 years ago. No, it started.
• 46:37
  No, it's like 2 years ago. Two years ago started.
• 46:39
  I was still on dialysis. Yeah, OK.
• 46:41
  So. It's two years ago, a year ago.
• 46:43
  What am I? But I'm saying for my for my
• 46:45
  kid, when the kidney started physically working.
• 46:47
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So no, it's about a year and a
• 46:49
  half. Yeah.
• 46:49
  OK. So when it, when it came to the
• 46:52
  kidney donating day, my wife and myself work out of the elevator
• 46:58
  6:00 punctual, which we have to be 6:00.
• 47:01
  And this rubbish time, it's from the Noel standing in the corner
• 47:04
  over there and I work out elevating rubbish time.
• 47:08
  It sees me now. You're not, you're not allowed
• 47:10
  to know who your donor is. It's the biggest secret in the
• 47:14
  HIPAA Privacy Act, which in the medical field, it's very medical
• 47:16
  field, you're not allowed to know who the donor is unless
• 47:19
  it's a brother, father, mother, sister, family member, anybody
• 47:22
  else. It's the biggest secret.
• 47:23
  And so does the donor does not know who the patient is.
• 47:27
  They know the age, male, female, you know of the of the of the
• 47:30
  person and that's all they know. I come out of the elevator, I
• 47:34
  see rubbish timers and he sees me.
• 47:35
  He says I walk over and the whole floor was full of people
• 47:39
  that night. The nurse on that floor, mining
• 47:40
  nurse had a bad night. Everybody who was supposed to be
• 47:44
  in the room, kidney surgery and non kidney surgery was on the
• 47:47
  floor, 50 people, all kind of surgeries.
• 47:50
  The floor is jammed. I scoot through the crowd and I
• 47:53
  go to rubbish timers, tells me today you have to come on time,
• 47:56
  like 6:00 on the button. Like, look what's going on?
• 47:59
  I see this young fellow along young, young young man standing
• 48:03
  next to him. And as I approach the rabbi,
• 48:05
  he's like moving back to the the back of me, let's say, oh, she
• 48:09
  rubbish diamonds in the new area.
• 48:12
  And I asked rubbish diamonds, if not for today, when then should
• 48:15
  I be on time? Yeah, in the acts of a Messiah,
• 48:18
  Right. You know those words?
• 48:19
  Yeah. That one I know, yeah.
• 48:20
  OK, there's only that too, by the way.
• 48:22
  So I said if not for that, when should I be in time?
• 48:27
  He tells me look what's going on.
• 48:29
  I see as I see what's going on, I ask him, by the way, those
• 48:32
  thing I'm on moving back. Who is that?
• 48:35
  He tells me Gershi don't ask questions and either she tells
• 48:39
  me, he gives me a wink with ah, he says this is it.
• 48:44
  I said, Robert, timers don't tell me this and this is my
• 48:46
  donor. Gershi don't ask questions.
• 48:50
  I told you this is it. I understood for myself, this is
• 48:54
  my donor. So I said Rubbish Time is a girl
• 48:59
  from the hospital. She's a live transplant
• 49:01
  coordinator. When it comes to a lot of people
• 49:03
  giving kidneys for like renewal, there's a coordinator.
• 49:05
  Her name is Melinda and she tells the rubbish Time.
• 49:08
  It says if this is if. Yeah, she's asking if this is
• 49:11
  donor. I don't think it's a good idea
• 49:13
  to approach him. His wife is home with two kids.
• 49:16
  He's a young person. He's 24 years old.
• 49:19
  He's he may have some cold feet about donating.
• 49:22
  None of you both know that I mean you're probably both in the
• 49:25
  medical field. You know that they give the
• 49:27
  right to the donor on what when he's on the bed already to back
• 49:31
  out and I will never know why he backed out failure this that
• 49:36
  blood pressure high low. I will not know.
• 49:38
  They will not tell me, but he has the right to refusal and
• 49:41
  minute before they cut him open. So it's not a good idea to
• 49:46
  approach me. He has a little shaky feet and
• 49:49
  as I said, rubbish time. It's please tell Melinda I I am
• 49:52
  not going to surgery if I can't tell, tell thank you to my
• 49:55
  donor, especially if he's here. My parents had that course.
• 49:59
  I told you that he said across live in English re
• 50:01
  reciprocation, right. Of course life is reciprocate,
• 50:04
  right, gratitude, gratitude. So I can't go to surgery knowing
• 50:08
  that he's there. I can't say thank you.
• 50:10
  So they start talking with him for the quiet and the verdict is
• 50:14
  don't go. I start begging.
• 50:16
  I start begging, I said if this is my done the please rubbish
• 50:19
  time. It's I'm telling you this, I'll
• 50:22
  make it quick. You can give I have letters from
• 50:24
  7 My Kindle wrote lettuce them and say thank you.
• 50:27
  My wife wrote a letter let him let me please just give him that
• 50:29
  envelope. She goes back to her.
• 50:31
  Does Melinda make it quick? Go ahead do it right away.
• 50:36
  When I approach him this This is why I may get emotional and they
• 50:42
  they they stay there. My wife stays in the corner of
• 50:44
  the rabbi. I start going through the the
• 50:47
  back corner, right side, let's call it to the singer man, this
• 50:50
  young person, as I get there, I said to him, my name is Gershi,
• 50:57
  Gershi Moskowitz. He says who you are, I know
• 51:04
  exactly who you are, who I am. You may have forgotten.
• 51:08
  I said who are you? He falls on the shoulder and
• 51:11
  starts crying, starts bowing away for a minute and 1/2 or
• 51:15
  two. I can't, I can't stop him from
• 51:17
  crying. And he's crying.
• 51:19
  He's literally. And I see from this eye.
• 51:21
  I see really, Melinda and how much time I'm always.
• 51:24
  I I told as I I I told you they shouldn't do what I had.
• 51:28
  I see. And I'm trying to like detach.
• 51:30
  I'm like, who are you? He said that.
• 51:32
  Yeah. He just told me, you know who I
• 51:34
  am. Who are you?
• 51:36
  He tells My name is David, the son of Shalini Waldman, the
• 51:40
  sister of Malki Waldman, the one who I send singers to four years
• 51:46
  in a row, he said. I just told Melinda rubbish
• 51:49
  diamonds. I may have cold feet.
• 51:52
  I'm jumping. I'm bed right now to give you my
• 51:55
  kidney. Wow.
• 51:57
  My wife's, so I'm going to surgery.
• 51:58
  Was she Michael? He marched his way down to
• 52:01
  surgery. He'd marched his way down to
• 52:05
  surgery. Now the kicker?
• 52:07
  From age 16, he's now 2425. From age 16 to the age of 2425,
• 52:14
  by age 16, he said this organization called dancers a
• 52:17
  very special organization. They do special things they
• 52:21
  like. They like freedom.
• 52:23
  I believe name is. I hope I said it right now
• 52:26
  because I'm I can't think straight.
• 52:28
  The dancers organization. And he said he went to them by
• 52:31
  age 16. He said, I want to be like
• 52:33
  Gershi Moskowitz. From age 16 to age 24.
• 52:37
  He hasn't missed a day to go to Hoy Lisro.
• 52:40
  Wow. To me, Mr. Mayor Hoy Lisro.
• 52:42
  Wow. Now how Hashem goes full circle,
• 52:46
  full circle, whatever, I missed out and didn't go.
• 52:50
  Some people just go through sad days in their life, sad years in
• 52:54
  their life. But he is and we don't know why.
• 52:57
  We'll have the question why, Why is Hashem doing it to me or why
• 53:01
  is that happening? Hashem says.
• 53:03
  God says relax, I'll show you the full picture.
• 53:08
  Up to my last minute before surgery, I had no idea why I had
• 53:11
  to go through this or who's going to give me kidney.
• 53:15
  Yeah, she has your picture, black and white.
• 53:18
  And the message to all your listeners and everybody, be
• 53:21
  positive, stay positive. Help is on the way.
• 53:25
  And he does everything. And we don't know how what when
• 53:27
  I wear, but you'll see it clearly the second that happens.
• 53:33
  It's a very big gift when you get to see the circle.
• 53:36
  The full circle. Yes, yes, it really, really is.
• 53:39
  And one of our questions we started asking our guests is if
• 53:42
  you can send the message to the world, what would it be?
• 53:45
  That's a beautiful and beautiful message.
• 53:47
  And my biggest message I would love to say is go swap, go down
• 53:52
  to renewal office or even renewal goes.
• 53:54
  And they say, I mean, this is not a paid podcast by renewal
• 53:57
  anybody. I'm saying this is my own
• 53:58
  feeling. Both of you should know that I'm
• 54:00
  saying this out of my heart. Nobody was paid to come here.
• 54:03
  It's not a fundraiser call. Renewal office has them for a
• 54:07
  swab kit. They will send you one down to
• 54:09
  the house. There's over 400 people waiting
• 54:12
  for a kidney. That's right for the right
• 54:15
  match. I would think it's more than
• 54:16
  that. Again, that's as far as by two.
• 54:19
  100 people that Renewal is representing.
• 54:21
  As as as far as I remember by my story could be announced 400.
• 54:24
  I hope it's less. I hope it's too many.
• 54:26
  Yeah, it's, it's it's. 400 people will call up and will
• 54:29
  swab you solve takes a second to swab and people who there's
• 54:32
  plenty people out that don't want to give.
• 54:34
  There's Claudia's role because they're waiting to help.
• 54:37
  I mean, if you, I don't know if you follow renewal on your Insta
• 54:39
  page or Facebook page or message page every two, but since the
• 54:43
  last two years two or three transplants a day.
• 54:46
  Yeah. And that's it.
• 54:48
  And swab and do the best you can.
• 54:50
  And a very common theme that you see a lot is a lot of has seen
• 54:53
  them that are donating kidneys. It's rampant in the Hasid
• 54:56
  District community. I'm not sure why.
• 54:58
  Can you explain that? We're a zip code away from the
• 55:00
  biggest, biggest, can't say a nation biggest village of
• 55:05
  donations all over the world. New Square, NY.
• 55:10
  New square, Not Monroe, not Keras.
• 55:12
  New Square, NY has the most kidney donors and I'm proud to
• 55:15
  say I'm a Square house and the Square Rep is very proud of that
• 55:19
  too, that he. Encourages it.
• 55:21
  He's going to see them. Fully encourages it and we're 2
• 55:25
  minutes away from there. People don't know where we are,
• 55:27
  but we're literally next to square.
• 55:29
  That's the biggest point of the nation in the world.
• 55:32
  Yeah. Of kidney donors.
• 55:33
  Well, you're kind of saving someone's life.
• 55:35
  Not kind of like, right? Literally, yeah.
• 55:38
  Not only that, it's not going to just square, it's going they.
• 55:41
  Going all over the world. Right.
• 55:42
  They can't dictate who it goes to, which is why it's so
• 55:44
  fascinating, no? They can't say what he does.
• 55:46
  We can't pick or choose. If you are you still in contact
• 55:49
  with this person that donated your kidney?
• 55:51
  Of course. Like.
• 55:52
  I'm in touch. I forgot to say the line when he
• 55:55
  when he spoke to me. He tells me who he is.
• 55:57
  He tells me I'm Malky sister. He says Malky Bushem is married
• 56:01
  for four years and has two Kindles.
• 56:04
  Wow Malky. Malky texted me a few days ago.
• 56:07
  No way. Actually moved to Muncie.
• 56:08
  Really. Wow.
• 56:09
  Malky texted me right the whole time before surgery so.
• 56:12
  Beautiful. And what happened?
• 56:13
  She once she heard from her brother who her brother's giving
• 56:16
  a kidney to. What an incredible story.
• 56:18
  I'm so happy that it worked out for you this way because you'd
• 56:22
  freaking deserve it. At the end of the day, you've
• 56:24
  been running around chasing goodness and kindness your whole
• 56:26
  life and now you had somebody didn't act of kindness for you.
• 56:30
  I. Hope I didn't use it up for
• 56:31
  this. I mean the whole discussion.
• 56:32
  All the merit should stay merit. I imagine not my friend, I
• 56:35
  imagine that you have a lot more waiting for you up there.
• 56:38
  But it's just so beautiful to see how in our community, in our
• 56:42
  extended communities, like if you're a Jew and if you know,
• 56:45
  religious, not religious, doesn't matter.
• 56:47
  But if you're a part of this nation, there's always somebody
• 56:50
  looking out for you. There's always somebody that's
• 56:51
  doing an act of kindness, showing generosity, coming,
• 56:55
  having your back in such a big way where we're not just like
• 56:58
  making sure people's basic needs are being met.
• 57:01
  We're making sure that you're, you're full of life and that you
• 57:04
  have the best amenities. Everything is available to you.
• 57:07
  You're sending singers, celebrities to go to people's
• 57:09
  houses and go sing like I thought.
• 57:10
  So I don't deserve the credit because I do the the pestering
• 57:13
  work. The real credit deserve the
• 57:15
  fingers and the superstars. You're coordinating it.
• 57:17
  You're coordinating it, and it's very hard to.
• 57:19
  Do you know, I feel a few weeks ago I traveled down with a
• 57:22
  superstar singer, Kiva Gelb. He has a bride.
• 57:24
  He has bride view optic. He has a store in Muncie, a busy
• 57:27

• 59:19
  He was emotional. His father loved the Shylock,
• 59:21
  his theater. Yeah, he loves this, you know
• 59:22
  He's who. Who sang for him at the end?
• 59:24
  Who did he get it easy, people? Oh, that's.
• 59:26
  The guy produced KIVI though. Kivi released 4 albums, which I
• 59:29
  produced. Yeah, wow.
• 59:30
  I said to myself, if this is that Muncie guy I spoke to the
• 59:33
  next day we're going down to Miami.
• 59:36
  Yeah, North Miami Beach went. His father and his mother was
• 59:39
  sitting there and singing and saying tell him along.
• 59:41
  Isn't that beautiful? So our full circle, full circle.
• 59:45
  And now he's here on the podcast.
• 59:47
  Wow. Remember.
• 59:47
  We said we're going to talk about Oshi soon.
• 59:49
  This is the part we're talking about, Oshi.
• 59:51
  I see. I see, that's a musical family.
• 59:54
  Now he says he's not musical. He doesn't realize that, you
• 59:56
  know. They call his father every
• 59:57
  single week to take a job. Do you, Mahesh?
• 59:59
  You call more than. Oh, he did, yes.
• 1:00:01
  I spoke to your father last week.
• 1:00:02
  I texted him how he is. Wow.
• 1:00:04
  Yeah. Mahesh was a good friends with
• 1:00:07
  my father. Yeah, he does.
• 1:00:09
  Yeah. They go back a long ways.
• 1:00:10
  They go back. Their father told me a story
• 1:00:12
  about spoke about Abhshiman before.
• 1:00:14
  How about he told you about Abhiman?
• 1:00:15
  A whole story? I don't think so.
• 1:00:16
  How you want to get an Abhiman to care his fear?
• 1:00:19
  I don't know the story. The whole miracle happened from
• 1:00:21
  from, sorry, the opposite from Christie tribe Sherman, how
• 1:00:24
  Hashem helped him out and he got there unlocked.
• 1:00:27
  Boehner Really. Yeah, this is what she's talking
• 1:00:30
  on the podcast. But the bottom line is.
• 1:00:31
  It's my time, all the time. I don't deserve the credit.
• 1:00:33
  It's my time, all the. Time singers deserve the credit.
• 1:00:36
  Let me just tell you, you are incredible.
• 1:00:38
  You're incredible. You're a reminder, at least for
• 1:00:41
  me, and I'm going to throw Michael into this, that we're
• 1:00:43
  just awful people. We're awful people.
• 1:00:46
  OK, I'm going to pause you for a second.
• 1:00:47
  I'll finish my thought. Let me finish my thought, OK?
• 1:00:50
  And on this podcast particularly, we've had, I don't
• 1:00:53
  know, like 50 or 60 episodes. And we've seen so many people
• 1:00:56
  sit in that chair there and everybody has just a story to
• 1:00:59
  tell, but so many accomplishments and achievements
• 1:01:02
  under their belt. And it's not about their
• 1:01:03
  personal accolades. Like they accomplished this.
• 1:01:05
  They have this certificate, they have this degree.
• 1:01:07
  It's about how they've served the community in one way or
• 1:01:10
  another, how they've helped other people in one way or
• 1:01:13
  another. Everybody has.
• 1:01:14
  It's just amazing. It's like who are receiving all
• 1:01:17
  these things? There's so many people giving
• 1:01:19
  who are the recipients. It's just, it's fascinating.
• 1:01:22
  And I don't mean it in a very condescending way.
• 1:01:24
  I'm not self deprecating here to say that we're awful people.
• 1:01:26
  We're terrible people. Yeah, we're pretty bad.
• 1:01:29
  But we're just, there's, there's so much to learn from this that
• 1:01:32
  we could be better. We could step up.
• 1:01:33
  We can do even more than we're doing.
• 1:01:35
  You're never good enough because there's so much goodness that's
• 1:01:38
  out there, that's going on. There's so much to tap into, so
• 1:01:41
  much to learn from. I'm inspired by it, I'm inspired
• 1:01:44
  by it and it moves me. It moves me such a I'm.
• 1:01:45
  Going to ask you now. I'm proud, I'm proud, proud,
• 1:01:48
  proud to be a part of all of this.
• 1:01:50
  I'm you're witnessing this. I'm.
• 1:01:51
  Going to ask you, I'm knowing your business podcast.
• 1:01:52
  What are you taking upon yourself from all this test that
• 1:01:55
  you just spoke to because you said you're awful people.
• 1:01:58
  This guy on my right side, Michael, which is your partner,
• 1:02:02
  which became my partner a few months ago.
• 1:02:03
  In certain certain cases, he's busy 24/7 but misses a mass and
• 1:02:08
  threesome, good deeds and acts of kindness.
• 1:02:12
  What are you taking upon yourself now on the air to
• 1:02:15
  Claudia's role holiest role to do our act of hazard or her
• 1:02:19
  sudden I. Have to think about it.
• 1:02:21
  I have to think about it. No, I don't make rash.
• 1:02:23
  Decisions. No, no, no.
• 1:02:25
  Go for minimal. Go for minimal.
• 1:02:26
  I'll say this much, I certainly want to make an effort to do
• 1:02:30
  something for sure, no question about it.
• 1:02:32
  I mean, I'm just like, surrounded by.
• 1:02:34
  Something for that one minute here to this Papa studio that's.
• 1:02:36
  Not even for you. For myself.
• 1:02:37
  It's for myself. I want to be.
• 1:02:38
  Involved with Hazard? With you.
• 1:02:40
  Oh, you say you want to do something together.
• 1:02:41
  Is that what you're saying? Yes.
• 1:02:43
  Interesting. OK, then I definitely have to
• 1:02:45
  think about it if I'm committing to someone else.
• 1:02:47
  I'll just tell you that a good friend of mine slept me along.
• 1:02:51
  I think I mentioned this on one of our first podcasts and it's
• 1:02:53
  just very apropos to mention it now.
• 1:02:55
  What's gonna be up to now? We're in our 50s, but shame of
• 1:02:58
  Wortzman some Do you remember this stuff?
• 1:02:59
  You know what I'm talking about. We've mentioned shame in
• 1:03:01
  Wortzman at. Least four different podcasts,
• 1:03:03
  did we? I think it was the episode.
• 1:03:05
  I think like like maybe episode. Three.
• 1:03:07
  Anyways, we went to a share and the rabbi said, take upon
• 1:03:09
  yourself something. It was before Shoshanna that
• 1:03:12
  you're going to do and you can take upon something, you're
• 1:03:13
  going to do it. And we were a whole crowd of a
• 1:03:15
  few 100 people and we're all thinking and I'm thinking to
• 1:03:17
  myself, OK, I'm going to dive in three times a day or whatever.
• 1:03:20
  And he's like, now take that and cut it in half.
• 1:03:22
  And I'm like, whew, OK, I'll do a what's it?
• 1:03:24
  Then he says, take that and cut that in half.
• 1:03:26
  Stick to that and you'll be doing good in life.
• 1:03:29
  And that's why from now on I went to shul Shabbos only for a
• 1:03:32
  minute. Wow, that's.
• 1:03:34
  What you took and. Then helped me.
• 1:03:36
  Another thing he took about himself was not Malka.
• 1:03:38
  Yes, once a month he does. I'm a big Molaga monster.
• 1:03:40
  I think he does every week with a menu.
• 1:03:42
  I've passed the house 4 times already.
• 1:03:44
  I'm getting uncomfortable with you complimenting him.
• 1:03:48
  I'm told you. He wants you to get the train.
• 1:03:49
  He's not. He's gonna.
• 1:03:51
  Ask you 2 minutes. So take upon yourself something
• 1:03:53
  I have to think about. The first minute I asked him
• 1:03:55
  something, I sat in his car. After I could say we're sitting
• 1:03:59
  in a hot tub in a backyard in Wesley Hills.
• 1:04:03
  And a minute after sitting with him, dear, he went to look for
• 1:04:06
  ibuprofen. Somebody has back pain he would
• 1:04:10
  look for. A chest.
• 1:04:11
  Michael's OK. One second.
• 1:04:12
  One second, a minute after I got to know him and we spoke of acts
• 1:04:16
  of kindness. You already did the hot tub.
• 1:04:18
  He jumped. He.
• 1:04:18
  Jumped out of a cup of wine with a cup of wine and a cigar in the
• 1:04:23
  hot tub, talking about act of Hazard.
• 1:04:25
  There was a chaplaincy act. He jumped out of that hot tub,
• 1:04:28
  but that's who he is. I asked you give me something, I
• 1:04:32
  have to think about it. You think, you think the same
• 1:04:35
  thing I'm thinking. Michael went away to go to his
• 1:04:37
  status. No, we don't believe.
• 1:04:40
  That no. You know, you could take it upon
• 1:04:42
  yourself to follow up with Oshi. I'm sure that you guys will come
• 1:04:45
  up with something that. You're pushing me aside because
• 1:04:46
  I don't like this. I will because she even has said
• 1:04:50
  and you're pushing me aside, pushy.
• 1:04:52
  You're not going to like me now for this.
• 1:04:53
  You know what, Oshi maybe connect the world of sports.
• 1:04:55
  I I'll tell you this, but. Very good.
• 1:04:58
  I don't know. I'm not taking a holy through a
• 1:04:59
  Yankee game. Once a month in the summer
• 1:05:02
  months, take a hoiler to a game. Why am I hesitating?
• 1:05:06
  Think about it, why am I hesitating?
• 1:05:07
  Why am I not jumping on this saying immediately, yes, yes,
• 1:05:10
  I'm an awful person, That's why, You see, I'm actually not a
• 1:05:14
  good. Person The ball of Hazard the
• 1:05:16
  ball of Hazard the What the ball of hazard the.
• 1:05:18
  Ball of hazard, Yes. What's that mean?
• 1:05:20
  Take a kid to a ball game. Oh.
• 1:05:22
  To a the ball, I like come up with that just like that.
• 1:05:25
  It's really. Good.
• 1:05:26
  Let's do that, Michael, the. Hazard ball.
• 1:05:30
  Ha, I'm giving this to Oshi. I'm punting it.
• 1:05:33
  OK, what about the funding? I like it.
• 1:05:35
  I like perhaps. Yeah.
• 1:05:36
  There's no game, there's no name.
• 1:05:37
  Interesting. Idea.
• 1:05:38
  It's not about the name. What about you pass it along,
• 1:05:40
  you pass the ball around or she goes once to a game and then the
• 1:05:43
  next person he. Chooses to go to a game and pay
• 1:05:45
  it forward, Yeah. Like the ice water bucket
• 1:05:48
  challenge, the ball of a. No, but you'll give my name,
• 1:05:52
  you'll give my name and number. I'm giving you permission.
• 1:05:54
  Yeah. You'll sponsor the tickets you
• 1:05:55
  both command are successful in the medical field.
• 1:05:58
  Yeah. You will allow five people a
• 1:05:59
  month to start the ball has it. Michael have to tweeze.
• 1:06:02
  We have a fundraiser. So I'll, I'll, I'll do the
• 1:06:04
  event. If we have to do a fundraiser,
• 1:06:06
  then it's not successful in my opinion.
• 1:06:08
  Let's do this without fundraiser.
• 1:06:09
  But I just you should just know, OK, in my defense, and I think
• 1:06:13
  other people that are listening maybe have the same fear I do.
• 1:06:15
  I just don't know if I'm cut out for it.
• 1:06:17
  Meaning I it's you're a guy that's, you know, very
• 1:06:20
  outminding personality. And you know the Stephen to say
• 1:06:22
  Steph said it. I'm very nervous.
• 1:06:24
  I'm sick, dude, and the kids stick with cancer and I'm going
• 1:06:27
  to take him to a ball game. I'm not going to know what to
• 1:06:29
  say to him. I'm not going to know like how
• 1:06:30
  to, you know, you know. What's interesting, can I teach
• 1:06:31
  you? Can I teach you take a long
• 1:06:33
  guitar to a game after the After the game I'm just.
• 1:06:36
  Going to feel too bad I'm going to spend most of my time crying.
• 1:06:39
  Oh she, I'm giving. I'm going to be more sad than
• 1:06:41
  the. I'm giving.
• 1:06:41
  I'm giving you a promise in there.
• 1:06:42
  Give me a second. Give me another second.
• 1:06:44
  Yeah, Michael, put your hand in there right now.
• 1:06:48
  You do it like this. Perfect, Perfect.
• 1:06:51
  Here's the Ball of Hazard organization.
• 1:06:53
  I'm going to take the kids. No, no, it's a ball game.
• 1:06:56
  It's a ball and a hand. A ball and the hand in there,
• 1:07:00
  like the act of hasset. The ball, isn't it?
• 1:07:01
  We're getting uncomfortable. Let's go.
• 1:07:03
  So the ball the hasset ball, the ball, the ball, the ball of
• 1:07:07
  hasset, Yeah. Whatever it is, and.
• 1:07:09
  You wait two years from now, NBA has it on the screen.
• 1:07:12
  We're going to take a out of seven inning stretch sponsored
• 1:07:15
  by the Ball of Hasset. Looking to be an adult?
• 1:07:16
  Adult as well. Adult doesn't matter, right?
• 1:07:18
  Yes. OK, good.
• 1:07:19
  So we can. They don't.
• 1:07:19
  People don't have money. They're they can't take the kid.
• 1:07:21
  They're the handicapped kid. I, I, I, I'll be very honest.
• 1:07:24
  OK, on, on there. Maybe my brother may be
• 1:07:26
  embarrassed. He was an orphanage after my, I
• 1:07:30
  believe that my mother passed away and he was in the orphanage
• 1:07:33
  in Manhattan. He had screws in his foot.
• 1:07:35
  He had a some kind of the foot was bent out of shape, had to be
• 1:07:40
  put screws into, had to put a piece of metal, was there for a
• 1:07:43
  year and a half or longer, an orphanage.
• 1:07:46
  I was married at that point. I did the best I can to go visit
• 1:07:48
  him, take singers them, etcetera.
• 1:07:50
  That's what I did. But I used to take him to a ball
• 1:07:52
  game, which a person paid the ball game for me and him to go.
• 1:07:55
  At that point I took him. He was in a wheelchair.
• 1:07:58
  We went down the handicapped ramp.
• 1:07:59
  I went to the inspector behind that barricade.
• 1:08:02
  All the players came out. My friend has her father, his
• 1:08:05
  father of him. He actually has a sportswear
• 1:08:07
  company, Eisen Sportswear on Essex St. and the East Side.
• 1:08:10
  He gave me a T-shirt with inspector logo here, NYPD logo.
• 1:08:14
  I gave it a nice gift bag. Then inspected by the game.
• 1:08:18
  He opened the gate to me. Every single player stopped to
• 1:08:22
  give him a autograph. Wow.
• 1:08:24
  GMB. Jason Rodriguez.
• 1:08:26
  Michael, Michael, I think he's on to something actually.
• 1:08:29
  I'm starting. This idea is growing on me.
• 1:08:31
  I'm a real drinking. I can actually.
• 1:08:32
  I could take a Jason, actually. Meet the players.
• 1:08:35
  I was I get I get handicapped parking.
• 1:08:37
  I get preferred parking. You like, but not for me.
• 1:08:40
  But we'll have for them, right? Somebody with me, I get a
• 1:08:43
  separate entrance like a special.
• 1:08:44
  And you can be stopped while you're ahead.
• 1:08:46
  Right now we can meet the players.
• 1:08:47
  It's fine, it's fine. As the players are arriving, I
• 1:08:49
  slowly take the. Wheelchair, No.
• 1:08:51
  They open up for you that they don't.
• 1:08:52
  You know, they have a special gate which all the players come
• 1:08:54
  out. That's where the ramp of the
• 1:08:56
  wheelchairs go. Out but they see you're dealing
• 1:08:57
  with you're dealing with the like you see my where my brains
• 1:08:59
  going at. The the name the ball of
• 1:09:02
  cassette is funded next week. I'm calling you.
• 1:09:04
  I need three tickets for the people are going to hear this.
• 1:09:07
  They're going to call. Me, guys, I'm actually going to
• 1:09:09
  contact Yashi Moskowitz. How fun is that?
• 1:09:11
  I'm actually, I'm actually going to a game next week, to a Yankee
• 1:09:14
  game next. Week and we'll take a long I was
• 1:09:16
  going to call. My friends but.
• 1:09:17
  We're taking, we're taking them. I'm.
• 1:09:19
  Going to feel guilty. Thank you.
• 1:09:20
  I'm going to be. I think we're going to.
• 1:09:22
  Push it I'm. Going to make I should really be
• 1:09:24
  here with some, you know, with a person.
• 1:09:27
  And that's his. Your father's going to have a
• 1:09:28
  photo for Shima. I mean, I mean, I mean, thank
• 1:09:31
  you. You all know what he needs.
• 1:09:32
  We all know what he needs. We're not going to get into it.
• 1:09:34
  Yeah, he all needs that bowl of acid.
• 1:09:35
  What we spoke about, He needs that have to come around to
• 1:09:38
  himself again. OK.
• 1:09:39
  What do we? See in your mouth to God's ears.
• 1:09:42
  And doesn't if anyone's listening wants to get.
• 1:09:44
  Involved you went out and said. They can contact Hershey and and
• 1:09:47
  Gershy and we can make it happen.
• 1:09:49
  I think it's a beautiful idea. I think it's a beautiful idea.
• 1:09:52
  I'm I'm definitely a fan of going to a sports game.
• 1:09:54
  The concept. I think you like the name also.
• 1:09:56
  The name is the best. The concept of sitting with
• 1:09:58
  someone and watching a game. You don't have to say a word to
• 1:10:00
  them, just for the record. The idea of just being.
• 1:10:02
  There with them, I'll bring them hot dogs.
• 1:10:04
  You'll bring them hot dogs and I think it's amazing.
• 1:10:07
  I'm going to have to wrap up in a minute or two.
• 1:10:09
  You did say your message to the world and I loved it.
• 1:10:12
  And I think the message is already having an effect right
• 1:10:14
  now, which is a beautiful thing. Do you have any questions for
• 1:10:17
  us? What do you guys do for
• 1:10:19
  business? I know in the medical, what do
• 1:10:21
  you guys do? We do?
• 1:10:22
  Expense consulting for assisted living homes and nursing homes
• 1:10:24
  mainly, but we also do for others as well, where we
• 1:10:27
  evaluate all of their expenses from food to housekeeping to
• 1:10:31
  insurance to rehab to pharmacy. And we make sure that they're
• 1:10:34
  doing the best practice methods with everything they're buying.
• 1:10:37
  That's what we do for a living. And we have, thank God, a very
• 1:10:41
  solid business. We have a dozen expense advisors
• 1:10:44
  around the country led by the general manager and coach here
• 1:10:48
  at Mr. Oshi Schwartz, who's doing a phenomenal job.
• 1:10:51
  And well, you know, when he implements this thing and his
• 1:10:54
  name comes on it, he'll be he's done already thing we did the
• 1:10:57
  shake. So you're running next with the
• 1:10:59
  game with Holy through? You know what?
• 1:11:00
  I love it, Garisha. I'm going to hold you against it
• 1:11:01
  if it doesn't happen. You're the kind of guy to make
• 1:11:04
  it happen. I know we've.
• 1:11:05
  We've been there, we've worked on projects and you can push and
• 1:11:09
  we can make it happen. It's amazing and I appreciate
• 1:11:12
  that. Yeah, that's what we do for a
• 1:11:13
  living and. Then for the second podcast,
• 1:11:15
  you'll call me back, I have a whole different subject, which
• 1:11:18
  is, which is maybe touching, maybe personal to a bunch of
• 1:11:21
  people listening, which is actually to the words of none of
• 1:11:24
  your business. But it's not an act of kindness,
• 1:11:26
  not an act of it's certainly in my field and it could be in your
• 1:11:31
  field as well. As you said, you work in the
• 1:11:32
  medical field just like you know when you do a job for somebody
• 1:11:36
  about another person that you hire taking away that consumer.
• 1:11:40
  But it's like more in the Saugus Galleria.
• 1:11:44
  There's no competition, there's nothing.
• 1:11:47
  I'm I fully explain. Explain, I'm sorry in in.
• 1:11:49
  If I go to Mr. Schwartz, yeah. And he hires me for an event,
• 1:11:53
  OK, Now I have to hire my business.
• 1:11:55
  I have to hire a minimum of 1015 vendors.
• 1:11:58
  Sure. Now those, those, let's say from
• 1:12:00
  those 1015 vendors, 3 are present on the place.
• 1:12:03
  Let it be the waiter company, the bar company, the actual
• 1:12:06
  person who brings the food. Now they go to direct to that
• 1:12:09
  person who I call to Mr. Schwartz's party.
• 1:12:11
  Big no no. That's a whole so we should see.
• 1:12:14
  Where you're going with this? I see where you're going.
• 1:12:15
  That's I'm not where they cut out basically.
• 1:12:17
  The reason why I'm the. Poker they cut out the person
• 1:12:19
  that didn't got I just. The reason why I'm saying,
• 1:12:21
  Michael, yeah, when I was in my Pecola and my thoughts that I
• 1:12:24
  had, I wouldn't call it SARS. The situation I shan't put me
• 1:12:27
  in, you're challenged. I was very, very challenged at
• 1:12:29
  that point. I was minimal working,
• 1:12:32
  unfortunately, party planners, void, void, etcetera, etcetera.
• 1:12:36
  People in that thing took advantage of my situation.
• 1:12:40
  Yeah. And I lost those clients.
• 1:12:42
  Yeah. Now I'm not crying with Alice's
• 1:12:43
  finish him. Everything is going on above.
• 1:12:45
  Thank you, Ocean. Yeah, but the bottom line is
• 1:12:47
  it's hurting. Yeah.
• 1:12:48
  Yeah, there, there. Now he's.
• 1:12:49
  Airing his grievances. This is way more my topic.
• 1:12:51
  This is something I can definitely get behind.
• 1:12:53
  Oh, you like the topic I. Love this topic, you could
• 1:12:56
  continue. Talking about it, don't worry,
• 1:12:59
  it's an important. Thing about this but for another
• 1:13:03
  day. But this is your name.
• 1:13:04
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. None of your business, Mamish
• 1:13:07
  means none of your business. Why is that guy coming in to a
• 1:13:11
  territory that I call them in now?
• 1:13:12
  I don't sign contracts with anybody I trust.
• 1:13:15
  It's a handshake. It's a it's it's a friendship
• 1:13:17
  of, of the cost of the consumer is a friendship.
• 1:13:19
  And the and the vendor is a friend which I gave already,
• 1:13:23
  let's call it hundreds of thousands of dollars of
• 1:13:25
  business. I'll wrap up the entire second
• 1:13:27
  podcast in one sentence. Go ahead.
• 1:13:28
  Stop being such good friends with everybody.
• 1:13:31
  It's business. You got to sign confidentiality
• 1:13:33
  agreements. You got to sign on competes, you
• 1:13:35
  got to sign exclusive agreements.
• 1:13:36
  And if you don't, you can't wonder why this guy, you put his
• 1:13:40
  hand in your pocket and you're wondering why when he took it
• 1:13:43
  out, he also took out a $20 bill.
• 1:13:45
  It's a lesson I learned. So I'm just saying you have to
• 1:13:48
  learn how to be a little bit more on top of your agreements
• 1:13:51
  and your arrangements and let the vendors know in advance and
• 1:13:53
  let the customers know you cannot go to my vendors.
• 1:13:55
  I'm going to divulge them to you and they're my proprietary
• 1:13:57
  information is my business intelligence.
• 1:13:59
  My advice to you and anyone listening is not to cry about
• 1:14:02
  it, but to do something about it and to actually bring vendors
• 1:14:05
  that are exclusive to you and keep the relationships going.
• 1:14:08
  And then if they don't do what's menschluck, there's nothing you
• 1:14:11
  can do and move on. I just built a beautiful pergola
• 1:14:14
  in my backyard, one of those new ones that the people are putting
• 1:14:18
  with the doors and that open and the the the slats on the top
• 1:14:21
  open. I have a several friends that
• 1:14:23
  have been waiting over for a year with thousands of dollars
• 1:14:26
  in deposits that it didn't happen.
• 1:14:27
  It comes from Egypt somewhere. Hasn't been delivered.
• 1:14:29
  It's from Turkey, Turkey and hasn't been delivered.
• 1:14:31
  So they've been asking me for the hookup.
• 1:14:33
  Now, I could have circumvented the person that brought it to me
• 1:14:37
  and went straight to the Turkey guy, but of course I didn't.
• 1:14:40
  Not because that I know who you are, because it's business and
• 1:14:43
  it has to make sense. And I just told the guy in
• 1:14:46
  Brooklyn. A shout out to Dove from
• 1:14:48
  Brooklyn Deck and Patio who helped arrange this business
• 1:14:51
  partner of his from Turkey and I connected them and hopefully
• 1:14:54
  they're going to figure out their challenges and get it
• 1:14:56
  done. So that's that's what I would
• 1:14:58
  say to do when it comes to. Literally said and I'm going to
• 1:15:00
  get down to do it. Yeah, yeah, Pushy, my advice,
• 1:15:04
  yes, I I'm going to go with what Michael said.
• 1:15:07
  I, I told, I mean, that's the our business model in general.
• 1:15:09
  You know, if you're going to introduce, it's one of your sub
• 1:15:12
  vendors to the end user, to your customers, to your clients, you
• 1:15:15
  got to make them sign that before you introduce them.
• 1:15:17
  But I have that you could never go after this client ever again.
• 1:15:20
  You could never service them without me.
• 1:15:23
  It has to flow through me. Otherwise you can't serve them.
• 1:15:25
  Otherwise, I'm not hiring you. So my question is how so?
• 1:15:28
  It should be a one time form. Yeah.
• 1:15:30
  And to my consumer, on the proposal on the bottom, in small
• 1:15:32
  words, you have to it's. More important that your
• 1:15:34
  relationship is strengthened with your vendor right than with
• 1:15:37
  the consumer. The consumer doesn't come and be
• 1:15:38
  part of this. The vendor is the most important
• 1:15:40
  thing that has to be a part. You have to create that solemn
• 1:15:42
  relationship, yeah. But I've had consumers too.
• 1:15:44
  Yeah, it happens. Listen, you know at the end of
• 1:15:46
  the day, I spend. Money.
• 1:15:48
  This covers that too. If the consumer tries to solicit
• 1:15:51
  this person directly, he can't 'cause he has a contract with
• 1:15:54
  you that he can't do business with this customer anymore.
• 1:15:57
  Unless that's coming through your discretion.
• 1:15:58
  And very well said. That's all.
• 1:16:00
  Everything you said today was very well said.
• 1:16:02
  I you know the the CMA shots, the Shlaimy Gertner to the music
• 1:16:05
  to the Malka song by the way. Wow.
• 1:16:07
  Amazing story. That was a.
• 1:16:09
  Phenomenal story. I, I, I, I, you'll see green and
• 1:16:11
  the background amazing. Before we let you go, of course,
• 1:16:14
  you know you have a list of names that you said that you
• 1:16:15
  would suggest on the podcast. Anyone that sticks out that you
• 1:16:18
  say that person has to sit here or we're going to go back to
• 1:16:20
  the. Point you said earlier.
• 1:16:22
  Whatever field you want that you feel would fit well in this
• 1:16:25
  chair. I definitely feel I mean, once I
• 1:16:27
  I saw yesterday, you're kind of not all your podcast.
• 1:16:31
  You're missing a bunch in the entertainment field.
• 1:16:33
  OK, it's very in the business field, which is corporate.
• 1:16:35
