- 4:36Two months ago. He flies down and gets him.
- 4:40Let's fill in and he teaches him how to do it.
- 4:42The guy starts putting on his phone every single day.
- 4:44I met him like a month into him putting on his phone.
- 4:47I met him again. He told me he's like, I have
- 4:49never had such a good month in the history of my I've been in
- 4:53this industry for, I don't know, let's say 10 to 15 years.
- 4:56It's like I've never had such a good month in my life.
- 4:58He says one day I forgot to put on the fill in.
- 5:01It was our worst day of the whole entire month.
- 5:03Look at that. And he says one day I forgot my
- 5:05to fill in at home. I drove back 40 minutes just so
- 5:08I don't miss the villain. Wow, and this is a fresh newbie.
- 5:11This is someone who never even the one that just started
- 5:13putting and they're not religious, right?
- 5:14I was into anything else just fill in.
- 5:16He was wearing tips in the picture, so I'm assuming he'll
- 5:19say sis Yamaka and slowly doing Mormons.
- 5:22But like, I was in the office today and someone that I walked
- 5:24with and said like, I'm a strong guy and he didn't even know what
- 5:26that meant. Wow.
- 5:27Feeling every day but doesn't even know what I'm a strong guy
- 5:29means. Like, wow, he's just learning
- 5:32about his Judaism. He's connecting, he's loving it.
- 5:34OK, so how to get to Jake Paul? So this is his his, his business
- 5:38partner. His business partner, he, I was
- 5:40at his office like two or three weeks ago and he mentioned that
- 5:43I we're hosting our companies, hosting a business, our
- 5:47companies hosting a Super Bowl party.
- 5:48Why don't you come by like awesome, I know.
- 5:51So you became friends with this guy?
- 5:52Became good friends. Like now he's reaching out to
- 5:54you periodically and texting with each other.
- 5:57He invited, he put me in a group chat.
- 5:58Another one of his employees, like he just moved down.
- 6:00His name's Max, another Jew. It's like I want to find him a
- 6:02synagogue and we found them a synagogue, etcetera.
- 6:05So he reached out to me, invite me to the Super Bowl party and I
- 6:08went to it. It was a beautiful party.
- 6:10They actually have a bunch of Jews in the office.
- 6:11So we got to do it, The bunch of filling.
- 6:13I got there like an. Hour you go with your filling
- 6:15everywhere. Wherever you go, get you, and
- 6:17wherever you go, you want to find at least one person that
- 6:20you can fulfill it. On Sorry, what's the average
- 6:21strap time on and off? 60 seconds.
- 6:25Yeah, he just puts it on. I've seen.
- 6:26That amazing with a blessing also.
- 6:28Yeah, he makes them say the baseless.
- 6:29Shema, Barshame and Amistar. OK, let's.
- 6:32Go and then. 60 seconds. Yeah, real quick.
- 6:34Love it. OK, I want Mike Wolf.
- 6:36To do it that fast is that next time someone asks him to fill
- 6:39in, they're like, I'm in a rush, but it takes one minute, so why
- 6:42not? Well, she your story matters.
- 6:44Let's Talk is the slogan for our newest sponsor, the Serenity
- 6:48Center, which is a clinic for therapy and many other types of
- 6:52services that people need for mental health challenges.
- 6:54And I have to tell you that I did not want them to be a
- 6:56sponsor of ours until I tested them myself.
- 7:00And I sat down as a session paid by my insurance with the leader,
- 7:05Mordechai Weinberger. This person who has a radio
- 7:08show, he has live Zoom conferences with hundreds of
- 7:12thousands of people tuning in every single week.
- 7:14The reason why they do is because he is amazing.
- 7:18I sat with him for over an hour and I got the most out of it.
- 7:21And let me tell you, I did a lot of talking, he did a lot of
- 7:24listening. And I learned that the Serenity
- 7:27Center is a clinic that provides a service for therapy that's led
- 7:31and supervised by Mordechai Weinberger.
- 7:34And I see why they're so successful.
- 7:37And it's just something that, you know, we need to mention
- 7:39more of. And I want the community of
- 7:41Rockland County and even beyond to know that if you need
- 7:43therapy, don't wait and push it off because it might be too
- 7:46expensive or you may not be aware of the perfect therapist.
- 7:50Go to Serenity center, try them out.
- 7:53Insurance will most likely cover most if not all the charges and
- 7:57you will get top level service. Sounds like a no brainer to me.
- 8:01There is a woman that is doing something ridiculous that if
- 8:05she's trying to break a world record that I don't even want to
- 8:08discuss on this program. But I have a thought.
- 8:11You have a thought. Crazy.
- 8:12Yeah. I was just on 8 inch stream and
- 8:15I was speaking to him about that exact topic, about that exact
- 8:18person and me and a few people are we put together a group chat
- 8:22and we're working on it. We're going to break the
- 8:24Guinness World Record of the most to fill in in one day.
- 8:26She did 1000 of whatever. We're going to do 1000 myths
- 8:29with 1000. Yes, wow, yes.

- 8:35know, coming. I'm part of this, right?
- 8:36You're joining us. It's a new it's.
- 8:38In Oh my God, this is this is what I was going to suggest for
- 8:40you to. Do it you have 1000 people every
- 8:4228 that never puts fill in on before.
- 8:44No, they have. Done it.
- 8:45Oh, that happened all going to do it simultaneously.
- 8:48Not simultaneously, but we're going to, let's say it's going
- 8:50to take us 234 hours. Yeah.
- 8:52Over that time period, we're going to go do the most to fill
- 8:54in that's ever been. Done boom boom boom in one day.
- 8:57Literally just break records it's amazing.
- 8:59Confused I. Don't know what you want to get
- 9:01us. What do you mean?
- 9:02There's going to be 1000 people in the room and you're going to
- 9:04put fill in on each of those people?
- 9:06Yeah. What's the record?
- 9:07The record right now is like 262.
- 9:09For two for what? We're the record of what?
- 9:10How many people in one room we're in, Villain put it in one
- 9:14day in. One day in, one day time someone
- 9:16put on fill in. One they have, they have
- 9:17competitions. They all know.
- 9:18They all sit in Times Square in Chicago and they go around it.
- 9:22Hey, how many films did you do a day?
- 9:23How much did you right? Yeah.
- 9:25So they're on the chat. And the most they did in a day
- 9:27is under 300. You're gonna break the record.
- 9:30And I'm so proud and I'm so honored to be a part of this.
- 9:33A. 100% amazing you both are gonna join.
- 9:35Us can I just share something before we start even like
- 9:37getting into stuff in this podcast.
- 9:39I am one of the critics behind the scenes, OK?
- 9:43And I want to be, I want to give you a fair chance to, you know,
- 9:46to explain it because I really want to be convinced.
- 9:48But there are people that are like me that believe the same
- 9:50thing. When I see someone in New York
- 9:53City, in Times Square, somewhere from Chabad, and they pull
- 9:57random people over and they start putting feeling on them.
- 9:59I'm actually not impressed. I'm actually not like, wow,
- 10:02that's, that's an amazing thing. I I look at it and I say really
- 10:05like, is, is that necessary? That what is that really doing
- 10:08for this person? That Yeah, they'll put it on for
- 10:10a quick second just to entertain you, not to be rude.
- 10:13They want to be polite. But then also like, what does
- 10:15that really do for their Judaism?
- 10:17What does that really do for a really spreading the message.
- 10:20Yeah, please. But you do you hear where I'm
- 10:21coming from? I'm asking this.
- 10:23And by the way, Yossi, I want to take it even a step further with
- 10:26you. I love what you're doing from
- 10:28the entertainment standpoint. I'm actually following you like
- 10:30a hawk. I love it.
- 10:32I can't wait for the next person.
- 10:33But it's become somewhat of an entertainment value.
- 10:36It's become very glamorous thing that I actually think this in a
- 10:39way is even more losing sight of the real purity behind what
- 10:42you're trying to do you. Think it's losing sight?
- 10:44I think so. I think it's watering down a
- 10:46little bit of what it really means to put filling on and what
- 10:49goes on behind, what it means to be a good Jew, what it means to
- 10:51be a practicing Jew. Like is it just about you put
- 10:54filling on for 5 minutes and I'll go about your life.
- 10:56I just. Want to clarify as he I I
- 10:57completely. I know he knows this.
- 10:59I know. But I want you to take a shot at
- 11:01it because I'm already proud of your answer.
- 11:03Go. He didn't even say anything.
- 11:04He said he has a story. OK, let me share his story.
- 11:07Absolutely. So someone had a very similar
- 11:09question to you. He went over to a Habad friend
- 11:11of his and said why did the rubber make such a big deal
- 11:14about to fill in Why that Mets funds particular Why did he do
- 11:17mezuzah? Why did he do kosher, which he
- 11:19did encourage people to do but not as much as to fill.
- 11:22Why did he do want to do learning Torah right.
- 11:24It's like why is it why is it so important to put on filling?
- 11:28So this was back in the 70s or 6.
- 11:29I think it was in the 70s right after the filling campaign
- 11:32started in 1967 shortly before the six day war.
- 11:36Those in the 1970s. So what happens they the guy, a
- 11:41few months later, he travels to New York and goes to meets with
- 11:43the rabbi. And at the end of his
- 11:45conversation he brings up this question to the rabbi, why?
- 11:48Why is it so important to do to felon?
- 11:50The rabbi says they'll be a guy and he's like, they'll be a guy,
- 11:56a yid in Miami sitting there and he'll go over to you and say, I
- 12:01saw a picture of someone putting on the felon at the Western Wall
- 12:05and it really inspired me to want to get more into my Judaism
- 12:07and start putting on the felon maybe.
- 12:10OK, beautiful. That's what the rebel answered
- 12:11him. Fast forward, I would say seven
- 12:13or eight years, this guy, he lives in London, He's accountant
- 12:17in London. He gets called in by one of his
- 12:19clients, say I want to meet you in Miami.
- 12:21So there's no problem. So the guy travels to Miami to
- 12:24go meet him. And in there, there are the two
- 12:26of them and a senior guy in the meeting, I would say a guy in
- 12:28his 70s or 80s, and they're singing the meeting and it's at
- 12:33a restaurant and they order food.
- 12:34The guy is just drinking water or maybe having some oranges,
- 12:37etcetera, maybe a little fruit, but he's not really eating.
- 12:40So the guy asked him why, why you are not eating?
- 12:42He's like, I keep kosher. So he's like, oh, do you also
- 12:45put on the fill in? So he's like, yeah, he's like, I
- 12:48started seeing pictures of people at the Western Wall
- 12:50putting on the fill in. And it really gave me a thing I
- 12:53want to start putting on the phone.
- 12:54So I said, OK, after the meeting we'll go do to fill in and after
- 12:57the meeting the guy will goes and he puts onto felon what the
- 12:59she had. He's like, this is my first time
- 13:01doing it since my bar mitzvah. The guy was probably 7580 years
- 13:04old. Like this is the first time I've
- 13:06ever put on the phone since my bar mitzvah.
- 13:07And he said just because I saw pictures of other people putting
- 13:11on felon. The rebel was very into not just
- 13:13putting on the film, but taking pictures and showing people.
- 13:15There was once a story that there was a big event and I
- 13:19think it was in, I think it was in one of the Twin Cities in.
- 13:24Minnesota, Minnesota. Minnesota, yeah, they're hosting
- 13:26a big event with like hundreds of teenagers similar to what
- 13:29we're going to do, God willing, in two weeks.
- 13:30Hundreds of non religious teenagers and they were doing to
- 13:32fill in and before they were doing it.
- 13:34The rub is like, I hope you guys invited the press.
- 13:37I hope you guys are going to have this on the front page of
- 13:38the newsletter the newspapers in the city that hundreds of Jews
- 13:42unprecedented putting on to fill in and the rebel was very into
- 13:45publicizing mitzvahs and specifically to fill in to
- 13:48publicize it to as many people as possible because one guy he's
- 13:51like this guy saw pictures of people in the Western Wall and
- 13:55Ursula and putting on to fill in and this this lawyer in Miami
- 13:58not lawyer this accountant in Miami decided I want to go put
- 14:01on to fill in how crazy this was the rabbit told us this guy
- 14:04seven years ago that you'll you'll meet a guy in Miami.
- 14:06And it happened seven years later.
- 14:08And it happened. Seven years later, I'm crazier.
- 14:108 years later, I don't remember the.
- 14:11The thing is the power of to fill in, meaning that's the.
- 14:14Show you guys the video app. Whereas but is this what?
- 14:17There's certainly merit to publicizing something like this.
- 14:21You know the Aloha about Kafta. No, I know what Kafta.
- 14:24Is in halacha, there's a lot of sources their arm brings it down
- 14:27and different people Kafta delay.
- 14:29There's a big question if that person is even able to go into
- 14:35Ghanaian. Do you know what Khakafta is?
- 14:36No, Khakafta is a school. So Khakafta de la Manafila a
- 14:39school, a Jew that has never pronounced felon his entire
- 14:41life. There's a question of even going
- 14:43to Ghanaian. So you finding like I was at Art
- 14:46Basel, you know Art Basel. I was at Art Basel a few weeks
- 14:49ago, actually a great story and I meet this guy, 88 year old guy
- 14:53trying to get into put on phone not interested in whatsoever.
- 14:55Finally he's like I'm trying to get in.
- 14:57I don't have any tickets to get into Art Basel.
- 14:59So if you could get me a ticket I'll put on filling but OK, I'm
- 15:02like I have a ticket in my pocket, extra ticket.
- 15:04Someone gave me up, someone invited me.
- 15:06I just post on my Instagram. Anyone have tickets to Art Basel
- 15:09in 5 minutes? Some lady responds to give me
- 15:11your e-mail. My husband will e-mail you 2
- 15:12tickets. So they e-mail me two tickets. 1
- 15:14ticket was for me and or and Hashem sent me another ticket
- 15:17for this old man. So I let him in.
- 15:19He says OK, let's do it to fill in.
- 15:21He's 88 years old, I think, or maybe 87.
- 15:23It was his first time ever putting on filling.
- 15:25How crazy. What happens next?
- 15:27So he he's 88, he puts fill in and out for the first time.
- 15:30Now what? So now, now everything is all
- 15:32right in the world, because he puts filling on one time in his
- 15:35eighty years. So now you're in a shama like a
- 15:37candle, right? We're like a match, right?
- 15:40You put on and the filling is the match.
- 15:41You put on that one filling and it sparks it, it opens up that
- 15:45it opens up. You know, you ever heard the
- 15:47saying mitzigate as mitzvah? Yeah, 1 mitzvah leads to
- 15:49another. One mitzah leads to another.
- 15:51You just do that one to filling. Do you think it's nothing?
- 15:53You never know what the effect of that.
- 15:55One, yes, I don't want you to misunderstand me and Michael,
- 15:57you as well. I see the merit in this whole
- 15:59thing of what you're doing. I love it.
- 16:01I'm asking, do you think that it's become very commercialized?
- 16:05What do you mean by that? At this point, because when I
- 16:07see someone in Times Square OK and just grabbing random people,
- 16:11they don't even know if they're Jewish or not.
- 16:13Like they're just. Well, we asked them.
- 16:14Yeah, somebody say, I don't know, I think so.
- 16:16All right, you're a candidate, you're good.
- 16:17Let's go. And it's just becoming mass
- 16:19volume. It's becoming a way that I think
- 16:22that it's lost that intimacy of what the intention was from the
- 16:25great rabbi, the Chabad rabbi. I think that's what he wanted.
- 16:28And I think that today it's become so vast, it's become so
- 16:31big. It's become a production.
- 16:33It's become like somewhat of a a scene and it's a schtick.
- 16:37It's like a gimmick. Like how many people did you put
- 16:39Phil on? How did you put Phil on that?
- 16:41Somewhat in a way, it's diminishing the real value.
- 16:45I would almost say it's better to put Phil in on one quality
- 16:49person where it's going to have meaning to you really getting
- 16:51the right person versus 100 people that is like they put it
- 16:54on, they thought it was fun and they.
- 16:56Qualify. I know you represent, I know you
- 16:58represent a lot of people because I've spoken to people
- 17:00like this. So even though whoever's
- 17:01listening might think they're in the minority, like, oh, no one
- 17:04thinks like this. I know there are people that
- 17:05think like this. They're also people that are
- 17:06against Labovich in general because they're just like, you
- 17:09know, they're just like anti Labovich no matter what, no
- 17:11matter what they do, you know, like, so it's unfortunate.
- 17:14Also, I think the answer, what else he was saying a minute ago
- 17:17is the answer. The answer is that the Rebbe is
- 17:19said to publicize it. The opposite of what you're
- 17:22saying. It's not an intimate act.
- 17:23It's an act that you need to inspire others.
- 17:25That strapping on, that's filling with the words that come
- 17:28from the Torah. And you also, you'll tell me if
- 17:30you think I'm right about this. Strapping on that's filling
- 17:33connects you in a way that nothing else does in this world.
- 17:36Yeah, I could see. That that's really what it is.
- 17:37That's, I think what what the Rebbe gives.
- 17:39Me one other mitzvah where you're physically putting
- 17:42something on you and you're just connecting to Hashem.
- 17:46No, I, I think this is the best conduit in order to make that
- 17:49connection happen. I agree with that.
- 17:51But I'll tell you, we have a Co worker, not a Co worker.
- 17:54We have a colleague, let's call it someone that we work with,
- 17:58OK. And they were Jewish, which we
- 18:00actually didn't know in the beginning.
- 18:01But we were Jewish. But they're not anymore.
- 18:02No, we discovered that they are Jewish.
- 18:04OK, We discovered they are Jewish and we had no idea for a
- 18:07long time. And this person said, yeah, I
- 18:10was actually never bar mitzvah. I never really had any type of
- 18:12connection to Judaism. But I, my mother is Jewish, my
- 18:14grandmother, I'm, I'm a Jew, no question about it.
- 18:17And we said, you know, we want to put fill in on you.
- 18:20We think it would be really nice thing.
- 18:21So I didn't do it myself. I had to quickly whip out my
- 18:24fill in and. Say, who did you call?
- 18:25We called a professional rabbi to be a kebab guy.
- 18:29We called it. But you know what he did?
- 18:30He came down to the office. We had a private room.
- 18:33He prepped him. He sat down with him for about
- 18:3520 minutes, explaining to him basic things about his heritage.
- 18:38He made it very meaningful, and we made it into a way that it
- 18:41really resonated with him. It wasn't on 34th St. at 9:00 at
- 18:46night when there's like lights and everything else going on in
- 18:49the background. Like this was done in a way that
- 18:51it meant something to him. And you know what?
- 18:53He actually now today where's a yarmulke?
- 18:56And he started, he goes to Shabbos dinner Friday night.
- 18:58Now he's starting to connect back to his roots.
- 19:00And I think it's a beautiful thing because it was done in a
- 19:03way that was professionally done with a strategized way.
- 19:07Now it's become so vast, it's become so widespread, it's
- 19:10become all over the place that how much are you really
- 19:12retaining? How much of this put in fill on
- 19:15all these people are actually coming away from it with a good
- 19:18outcome with a good result. That's what I'm questioning now
- 19:21what you're doing though I have to say whether he answered you.
- 19:24He said one time, no, I get what he's saying.
- 19:25I understand there's there's certainly merits, right.
- 19:27How do you really know? And then they got to keep
- 19:29trying, got to keep throwing things at the board.
- 19:31Yeah, maybe maybe 50% of it doesn't.
- 19:33By the way, when I said minority earlier, I meant the very seems
- 19:36successful when I said minority earlier, I want to take it back
- 19:39extreme minority and most people can appreciate that doing it.
- 19:42I appreciate. It the opposite of what you're
- 19:45saying. Their intimacy belongs there and
- 19:47it's important. I'm just disagreeing again and
- 19:49I'm saying that the volume. Would you agree not to go into a
- 19:52bar and find people to put fill it on in the bar?
- 19:55Actually, I may not disagree with that.
- 19:56I know someone that. Just what's the rule with that?
- 19:58Do you have people going into bars?
- 19:59What? Wherever you can get, wherever
- 20:01you do. Inspire.
- 20:02Yeah, yeah, yeah. Really.
- 20:03I'm with you on this. Yeah.
- 20:04I'm actually very surprised now. I thought for sure you were
- 20:06going to say no, of course not, that's where.
- 20:08We drew no. And by the way.
- 20:09There is no line, so you're looking in Eddie, which sort of
- 20:12place I'm not. Going to go to the strip club,
- 20:13but I'll go into a bar. OK.
- 20:15So like that's thank you. Yeah.
- 20:17Yeah. So that is the line.
- 20:18OK, it's. Happy hour at the bar, this is
- 20:19where a lot of them go. I've seen them there, OK.
- 20:22And, And I'm proud of them. And to me, it's like, wow,
- 20:24they're doing amazing because they're touching upon that
- 20:26person spiritually, physically, emotionally at the same time in
- 20:2960 seconds. And then you never know that guy
- 20:32in 10 years from now, it's going to come back to me.
- 20:33Yeah. It might not be as meaningful as
- 20:35it was, by the way, which was amazing.
- 20:37I remember that. You remember that made a bar
- 20:38mitzvah. It wasn't amazing.
- 20:39We literally made a bar mitzvah. Yeah, I'm very proud of.
- 20:41I'm sure. Yeah.
- 20:42Yeah. It was a vendor, actually.
- 20:43It was a. Vendor of ours, yeah.
- 20:45Yeah. You know, ultimately.
- 20:47And I meant something to him to the point that it's stuck with
- 20:49him so much that. You know this.
- 20:50Is this he's very thankful. You're saying if you met the guy
- 20:53on the street on 34th St. and right 4:00 PM and they did that.
- 20:56I guess I would have missed that.
- 20:57Inspired, you're saying right saying just the fact you
- 20:59prepped. Him.
- 21:00I think so. I think so, yes.
- 21:01I think that it had a bigger impact because we did it in the
- 21:04right, the right bar. If I had, if I had the
- 21:07opportunity, every single time I was putting on the film with
- 21:09someone, I gave them a 20 minute prep.
- 21:11I talked about what the filling is, what the blah, blah blah.
- 21:14Your grandparents did this for 10,000 years, for 3000,
- 21:16whatever. And I gave him the whole prep.
- 21:20No, obviously I would, but not every time you have the
- 21:23opportunity to the guys walking into a baseball stadium and you
- 21:26catch up two minutes before you tell them you do to fill in,
- 21:28that's going to give you a nice chance your team could win that
- 21:30you give them the different intense.
- 21:31Let me ask you this. Question, I have a guy, you want
- 21:32to hear a good story? This story happened exactly 2
- 21:35days ago. We celebrated 2 years.
- 21:37I just texted them. So this is two brothers, very
- 21:40successful entrepreneurs they built.
- 21:43Oh, I saw that post. I saw that you posted about it.
- 21:46Yeah. They started the dating app.
- 21:47They started a real follower. That's a different brothers.
- 21:51Story those are not Bros. Those are they actually happen
- 21:53to be the two guys that started the dating app are actually
- 21:55investors in these guys. Oh, I love it.

- 23:07At the end he said OK, I'll do it at home.
- 23:09Could you give me a blessing for the Chiefs to win?
- 23:12I told him I'll make a deal right now.

- 24:47in the world. Wow, subscription box company.

- 25:19We started Cabarossa, we started learning together, We started
- 25:22putting on filling. One of the brothers now put on
- 25:23filling every single day, and I kept a really close connection
- 25:26with them. I probably speak to them at
- 25:28least once or twice a week. Both brothers, they've
- 25:30indirectly helped me get to an enormous amount of people,
- 25:34including people like Bill Ackerman.
- 25:35They've helped me get there. Just a really amazing, brought
- 25:39really amazing people. And yeah, just from that one
- 25:42encounter, I met them on the street.
- 25:44Two years later, we still speak every single week.
- 25:46Wow. We put on to fill in any time
- 25:47they're in town. Every time they're here or I'm
- 25:49there, either we'll go to their house, they'll invite friends
- 25:52over and we'll have a good fill in party at their place or
- 25:54different stuff like that. And Barfisham.
- 25:56Can you indulge me for a minute? Just try it on me.
- 25:58Hey, you put on fill in today. Are you Jewish?
- 26:00At what? See me, Sir, Are you Jewish?
- 26:01I am. Your mom's Jewish.
- 26:04Yeah, she is. Yeah, yeah, it's amazing.
- 26:07Let's do the phone. It's filling.
- 26:09Sorry. Usually if you say your mom is
- 26:11Jewish I'll usually slap the Almach on you and say give me
- 26:13roll up your sleeve right or left.
- 26:15You know what I mean. Ask them.
- 26:16Whoa, you physically assault them.
- 26:18You go and you put a Yamaha on their head, grab their arm and
- 26:21start. They don't recoil from you.
- 26:23Yesterday I was that ecap When I went over to that guy, I'm like,
- 26:28see me? Are you Jewish?
- 26:29Yeah, I'm like, awesome. But he all got his head and
- 26:31started rapping. What?
- 26:32Yeah, and people are OK with that.
- 26:33People don't like tackle you as soon as you start doing that.
- 26:36I've had no. What happens when they want to
- 26:38say no? How do they say no to you?
- 26:39Yeah, yeah. What are some of your defenses?
- 26:40Yeah, what are some of your still?
- 26:42Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I was at someone's office today.
- 26:44Hey, what's up? How you doing?
- 26:45You're Jewish, right? Yeah.
- 26:46Let's do. I'm in a meeting.
- 26:49Let's do it next time. Deal.
- 26:51Do most people ask you like what is filling my?
- 26:53Co worker will do it and I went over to the Co worker to filling
- 26:56business store. That happened two hours ago.
- 26:57Wow. You know what?
- 26:58You know what's amazing about what you're doing?
- 26:59You're starting in a phenomenon within a phenomenon, right?
- 27:03Like people who who help people put on filling all the time say,
- 27:06hey, are you Jewish? Hey, would you would like you're
- 27:08stepping it up a notch. You're telling all the schluchem
- 27:10all over the world a new tactic. You're Jewish.
- 27:13Hey just put on filling and just skip.
- 27:14What's the word in the street? I'm gonna skip out the the
- 27:17question of like, do you want to put on volume just like?
- 27:19If you're a Shalia, you must listen to this.
- 27:21This this is a new approach and and a cold call and a cold
- 27:23approach. Sounds very aggressive.
- 27:25It's amazing. Very perfect.
- 27:27Yeah. But what is the world right now?
- 27:29He's also saying I'm sorry. You must be making headlines
- 27:32within your community because you're getting some of the star
- 27:35power. You know, you're getting a lot
- 27:36of the high level people. What are they saying?
- 27:38Like what? What's are they reaching out to
- 27:40you saying, hey, I see, wow, you're doing great stuff.
- 27:42What's your secret? Like what's happening?
- 27:44Yeah, like, so in two weeks I'll be speaking at the Kabati
- 27:48network, basically 3000 teens from 455 cities over 60
- 27:53countries coming to Brooklyn for Shabbat.
- 27:56I'll be speaking for them. Bizarat, the shem.
- 27:58They have basically different classes of different people.
- 28:00They have like 10 different speakers and different people
- 28:02could book. So mine was like the first
- 28:04booked fully booked I'm still getting.
- 28:06Everybody wants to attend your class, of course, because they
- 28:08see what the results that you're getting.
- 28:10And this is what I mean also by the way, you see it's not just
- 28:12now solely about the fact that he's putting up the phone.
- 28:15So many people, it's who he's getting.
- 28:17He's targeting very high end people and that's also a thrill,
- 28:20right? People, it's got to be a little
- 28:22bit of this for you even, right? That you're, this is fun.
- 28:25Like this is pretty cool. You're getting to meet cool
- 28:27people at the same time, right? It's not all just about the
- 28:31mitzvah. It's a beautiful thing.
- 28:32I don't want to take that away from you, but what you're doing
- 28:34is that a lot of people are a little envious.
- 28:36You're meeting really cool people.
- 28:37Thank God, yeah. Who's like the most famous
- 28:39person you met so far that you now have a relationship with?
- 28:43Not something that you met and you did it him few few minutes
- 28:45and then you moved on. But who have you netted a really
- 28:48good relationship with by doing this?
- 28:50I would say probably Adam Ross is a good example.
- 28:53Someone I did film with today. He's very popular, Adam Ross.
- 28:56I mean, he's got millions of of. I would argue he might be the
- 29:00the most influential Jew in my age range.
- 29:03Could be. I believe that Donald Trump had
- 29:07a right when he was campaigning. For the record, we didn't.
- 29:09Running. We didn't say it yet.
- 29:10Happy birthday. Today is your birthday.
- 29:12It's his Hebrew birthday. Yes, it is happy birthday when?
- 29:14You say age range. How old is he?
- 29:16He's 2423. That's it, right?
- 29:19You guys are very young. Yeah, very young.
- 29:21I didn't realize that. Making such an impact, I
- 29:22thought. Aiden Ross was older.
- 29:24By the way, what is Aiden Ross really famous for?
- 29:25Was he like a gamer? Is that what he was?
- 29:27He started out gaming this that during COVID, he became friends
- 29:31with LeBron James's son Bronny James plays for the Lakers.
- 29:34They became good friends, started gaming together one day
- 29:37like LeBron came on a stream. So like that put him up a level
- 29:40and he started becoming friends with rappers and whatever and
- 29:43now he's arguably the most or one of the top three.
- 29:47He's an influencer. Most influential influencers in
- 29:49the world. Wow, yeah, wow, wow.
- 29:51So he's Jewish? Fully, fully Jewish.
- 29:53Fully both. And how did you meet him?
- 29:55How did you get in touch with him?
- 29:56So great story. Basically I'm walking down the
- 29:57street. No, I was actually at a shawarma
- 30:00joint in LA picking up a Schnitzel sandwich before
- 30:03Shabbos. A little sandwich before
- 30:05Shabbos? Yeah, you're having a pre meal
- 30:07before the Shabbos. In a cola, yeah.
- 30:10There you go, that's the thing. I haven't had it.
- 30:12I haven't had it. Interesting.

- 32:48business, yeah, yeah, we know. We know people, basically.
- 32:51So you're touching upon so many different walks of life.
- 32:53Very cool. Whatever.
- 32:54So I'm like, you know, Aiden Ross, because I'm like, he's in
- 32:57this industry, so maybe he knows Dana Ross.
- 32:59He's like, yeah, I'm his manager.
- 33:02Love it. So I'm just like that.
- 33:03Yeah, so I'm like you have to get me to film with Dana Ross.
- 33:05He's like, I don't know. Nah, Nah.
- 33:07His cousin and other Israeli was sitting there also did film with
- 33:09him. Like don't worry.
- 33:10I see. I'll get it for you.
- 33:11Don't worry. A month later I come back from
- 33:13pay stop. I just got back in LA that
- 33:15morning I wake up, I got a you got a text from the sky tov.
- 33:18He's like give me a call, give me a call.
- 33:20He's like we're having on a rapper named BLP kosher Jewish
- 33:23rapper that puts on phone every day.
- 33:25We just bought him a new pair, so we didn't think his pair was
- 33:27kosher. Whatever he's like we're having
- 33:30on this famous rapper on our live stream.
- 33:32We want you to come down you and a rabbi to fly down to Vegas.
- 33:34We'll pay for all the expenses We wanted to come do to fill it.
- 33:37We wanted to come like make a Shabbat meal.
- 33:39So not just did he did he set up the tone.
- 33:42He arranged my my flights, my hotels, cars to pick us up in
- 33:46the airport, everything. Not just did I have not have to
- 33:49go to him. He arranged for me to come to
- 33:51him to go to the tone. So I flew down to Vegas,
- 33:53whatever, and it's filling with the, it's filling with Aiden.
- 33:58We end up meeting a bunch more times.
- 33:59Thank God we've developed a good connection together.
- 34:01He invited me over this morning to go do it's filling with them
- 34:04and think, oh, we've made a tradition a couple times a year
- 34:06we meet up, we do it to fill in. And he had 40 or 50,000 people
- 34:11watching live as we wrapped the fill in.
- 34:14So you have his cell number, you could like call him or text him
- 34:16at any time you want. And he responds to you because
- 34:18you're one of the boys now. Because you guys sure that's
- 34:20filling bond with with one another.
- 34:22And it's your hope that Aiden Ross actually starts pursuing
- 34:26something more. And is, are you still working on
- 34:28that? Are you content?
- 34:30So as I mentioned BLP Kosher, the rapper that we met, so I met
- 34:34BLP there at this stream and me and BLP developed a connection.
- 34:37We exchanged contacts, Instagram's numbers him me, him
- 34:40and his manager and barf Hashem me and BLP have become really
- 34:45good friends and we speak a few times a week.
- 34:47Our Brahms A770 many times he even one time he was in New
- 34:51York, I was in LA. He calls me up and he's like I'm
- 34:54going to 770 like he didn't he didn't wait for me to be there
- 34:56on his own. He went on his own to 770.
- 34:58He goes to learns Torah there he has a every single week he
- 35:01learns with someone not even as a bad guy.
- 35:03He looked online how could I how can I learn Torah found some
- 35:06like a website something learns Torah with someone every week he
- 35:09raps to fill in. He now sends me pictures of him
- 35:11putting onto fill in with other. Jewish other people.
- 35:13On other Jewish rappers. Wow, how many Jewish rappers are
- 35:16there? What have been Jewish rappers
- 35:17like 5? Is there like a network of
- 35:19Jewish rappers? Probably a handful.
- 35:20Probably a handful. Yeah, yeah.
- 35:22Yeah, Drake, by the way, I think.
- 35:23I think you got a sheet onto our side.
- 35:25Yeah, but I think it's. Working.
- 35:27I think it's working, you know, I mean, I'm very easy to
- 35:29convince. I just I need to hear the rash
- 35:30behind it. So once.
- 35:32How crazy that chance encounter with this manager that didn't
- 35:35want to put on tone was not interested at all.
- 35:37We got to put on to villain. Now should we get in?
- 35:39We got Aiden Ross and through Aiden Ross, that influence, who
- 35:41knows how many people that open up so many doors.
- 35:43People are like, oh, Aiden Ross, trust this kid, OK, I can trust
- 35:46this kid. I could do 12 with him.
- 35:47Aiden Ross could do it. I could do it.
- 35:48You know what I'm saying? I don't know how many thousands
- 35:50of kids watch that villain. I got a text this morning.
- 35:53Someone said I saw Jake Paul putting on to villain.
- 35:55Now I want to start putting on every day.
- 35:56Like I get these texts all the time.
- 35:58There's a lot of controversy around this Drake Polls.
- 35:59Oh, we know. We know that's.
- 36:00Yes, because we're not so convinced that he's actually
- 36:03really Jewish. I know there's what them today
- 36:05to. Find out afterwards he actually
- 36:06isn't Jewish, like it's confirmed.
- 36:07Would you feel a little bit upset that you put filling on
- 36:10him? So I'll tell you, I was with him
- 36:12today. I spoke to a few rabbis before.
- 36:14Some rabbi said, I don't know, maybe do it, maybe don't.
- 36:18So what did I do? I, I came there, I was with
- 36:21Aiden and Jake on stream today and I had the opportunity.
- 36:24I could have asked him to put on filling.
- 36:25I did it because I'm not 1000% sure he's Jewish.
- 36:28We did it once. If he's Jewish.
- 36:30Well, he wasn't offended that you didn't ask him to put Phil.
- 36:32He wasn't so interested in doing this.
- 36:34I saw the vibe he wasn't so interested.
- 36:36So we put a Yamaka on his head and shame rallies.
- 36:38Cheryl right You have a hostage necklace, The Yamaka and Shame
- 36:40rallies. Is there a halacha against
- 36:41putting filling on someone who's not Jewish like you?
- 36:44Not allowed to. I'll tell you there's nowhere in
- 36:47Allah or Rambam or anything that says GUI cannot put on phone.
- 36:50It's a special myths have read it, but there's no halacha that
- 36:53Guiyam cannot. The big problem, the bigger
- 36:55problem is the Bracha Lavata. That's the problem.
- 36:58And you're following. You're, you're prodding him to
- 37:00say those words. Yeah.
- 37:01So you're really walking him down that.
- 37:03Lane 100%. So that OK, but you know, I
- 37:05guess you can't always know. So we don't know if he's Jewish.
- 37:07Or not? Do you take that risk?
- 37:09If he's Jewish, then he was a kafta.
- 37:11Now he's not a kafta. If he's not Jewish, what's?
- 37:14This kafta word he. Was he was saying it before?
- 37:15I know. I never heard of it either.
- 37:17By the way, You never heard it either?
- 37:18No, I was. Introduced to you guys, haven't
- 37:19learned enough Kamara yet. So I guess, I guess somebody who
- 37:22never puts filling on their life is labeled as a karakafta.
- 37:25And I guess that's a pretty bad and it's.
- 37:27An elevated level to not be a kirkafta.
- 37:30Yes, very big deal. It's a great spiritually.
- 37:32I'm working on Kirkafting Larry David.
- 37:36Larry David, by the way, huge fan of Larry David.
- 37:39I heard a clip, I saw a clip where you asked him if he would
- 37:43put filling on. He was like.
- 37:44No, no, he didn't say no. He's like.
- 37:46What would I put? Filling on No, he said, he said.
- 37:48Something like that. Would cost a lot of money to get
- 37:50me to put it. On something like that, yeah,
- 37:51basically. Something like that.
- 37:52He basically he said no, is what he said.
- 37:54Yeah, he was like, not he. Did not say no, he did not say.
- 37:57He said. I can't think of the amount of
- 37:58money it would take me to put on, but I happened.
- 38:01OK, so that was actually a very hard thing, sorry.
- 38:04I was at the House of a a publicly traded CEO multi multi
- 38:09billionaire happened to be he was in the crowd.
- 38:11And ever since then I'm very good friends with his grandson.
- 38:13And ever since then he's become like my biggest fan every single
- 38:16like I'm at I'm at his house. He's like sitting there with the
- 38:19rabbi and he's like he's like tell the rabbi how many
- 38:22followers you have. Tell him who you get the fellow
- 38:24with. This how many followers they
- 38:25have, how many followers you have that many, but you just
- 38:27started them saying you're going to start growing pretty quickly.
- 38:30You're going to be after the fast track to exactly what's
- 38:36what's your main platform that you like?
- 38:38Instagram. I love Twitter, Instagram and
- 38:40then LinkedIn a little bit but those are my three.
- 38:42I do YouTube and TikTok a little bit but not really.
- 38:45But the main platforms I'm active on every day is LinkedIn,
- 38:47Twitter and Instagram. By the way, not just active, you
- 38:50are a blowing in at it. No, because really you're
- 38:52putting attention to. It you write your own stuff,
- 38:54everything you there is, you write it.
- 38:55I've actually, you remember that I when I was in Miami a few
- 38:59weeks ago, I followed him for a few.
- 39:00Hours. Yes, I.
- 39:01Remember, I was fascinated by you.
- 39:02I was just like, I have to follow this guy, right?
- 39:03He does. It's amazing what he can do.
- 39:06Within one hour. He's 60 seconds on and off, but
- 39:08it's also 60 seconds to get on LinkedIn to make a post.
- 39:10It's 60 seconds to go to Twitter and do a feed, and 60 seconds to
- 39:13plan another event. Super, super cool.
- 39:16When is the first time your adrenaline was like, Oh my God,
- 39:19there's a guy and if I get him dot dot dot.
- 39:22When did that happen to you? How old?
- 39:23When was the first time you were starstruck?
- 39:25Yeah, they you met somebody. You were like, Oh my God.
- 39:27And you realized I. Wanted to be my first celebrity
- 39:29to. Film.
- 39:30There you go. Yes, yes, that's the this.
- 39:31Is the day I started at social media.
- 39:33This was back in September of 2022, the end of 22, early 23.
- 39:38This is when I started doing filing with celebrities and I
- 39:41started posting on social media basically.
- 39:45Are you guys familiar to Rabbi Yitzi Horowitz?
- 39:48No. No, I don't think so.
- 39:49The rabbi with ALS? The Chabad rabbi.
- 39:51You ever heard the song Shine a little light?
- 39:53Yes. Show us the way.
- 39:55Now I know exactly what you're talking about, yeah.
- 39:56So I only realized this couple days like a couple weeks ago
- 40:00when we passed the anniversary, one of my friends reminded me,
- 40:04but basically where we had sees this very, very holy rabbi, he
- 40:08used to live, he used to be a schliach in California, and one
- 40:12day they were sure gave him this.
- 40:14This condition where he is basically paralyzed, cannot move
- 40:18anything in his body besides for his eyes, and he lives right
- 40:22near yeshiva and there's 10 yeshiva boys every year that
- 40:26will pray with him every single morning.
- 40:28Shockers. So thank God I, I was in Yeshiva
- 40:31in LA for two years, the two years and the two years I was
- 40:34there, I was the only kid that lived that did it for two years
- 40:36in a row. I developed a very close
- 40:38connection with Robbie Itzi and we became very good friends.
- 40:40We still keep in touch till today by Hashem and Robbie Itzi
- 40:43is one of the most inspiration, most inspiring people I know.
- 40:47Basically he used to live near Yeshiva, but for like a couple
- 40:50weeks during the summer, he was renovating his house, renovating
- 40:53his apartment. So he moved the house a few
- 40:56blocks away. So I'm walking back from his
- 40:58house after Dominic Schaus, then walking back to Yeshiva and I
- 41:00see they're filming ATV show. So my eyes light up.
- 41:04I'm like, TV show equals directors, actors, this that for
- 41:08sure. There's a bunch of Jews.
- 41:09What's the question? So I'm like, OK, I'm going to
- 41:11start asking people. So I go back to yeshiva.
- 41:13Whatever. I come back at lunch and I start
- 41:15asking people, hey, excuse me Sir, you're Jewish, you're
- 41:17Jewish. Found a few Jews, wasn't having
- 41:19too much luck with getting the tone on them.
- 41:22Finally I'm like, OK, is coming up soon.
- 41:24I'm going to walk back to yeshiva to go down.
- 41:28As I'm walking back I see an in the alleyway I see a dude he had
- 41:31a Jew fro on ask him you see me? Sorry Jewish says yes like do
- 41:35you put on the phone today? No, let's do it.
- 41:36He's like OK let's do it. So we go.
- 41:39We put on the phone together. We took a picture together as I
- 41:42do it take a picture every single time.
- 41:44And as I'm walking away, he asked me, Have you ever heard of
- 41:46Little Dickie? No, stop.
- 41:50It so I'm like, yeah, I think I heard of it.
- 41:52To be honest, I don't think I've heard of it.
- 41:54But like I just said, yeah, yeah, yeah, I heard of.
- 41:55It you don't be. Rude.
- 41:56Yeah, I don't wanna be rude. So he's like, that's me.
- 41:58I'm like oh cool, I walked away, whatever.
- 42:00And then I googled him like 1/2 hour later I realized he's like
- 42:03some whatever. Little Vicky is one of the
- 42:05world's greatest Jewish rappers ever.
- 42:08So happened to be I did the phone with him, I happened I saw
- 42:12him like hey, I open up like AI post on my WhatsApp status.
- 42:14Other people post on Twitter and Instagram and it went viral said
- 42:17I'll open up on Instagram whatever.
- 42:18So I post it whatever. That was the first time you came
- 42:21across somebody of high stature. And that's when I opened.
- 42:23Up my and it was by accident you didn't even know who he.
- 42:25Was no, I didn't. That's pretty cool of him by the
- 42:27way, that he did that, that he said, all right, let's put fill
- 42:29it on. Yeah, 100%.
- 42:30He's in the middle of filming's TV show.
- 42:32I literally let's Which show? Dave.
- 42:34Yeah. Dave.
- 42:34Yeah. Dave.
- 42:35Yeah. He's got like three seasons.
- 42:36Yeah. Episode show, by the way.
- 42:38Great show, yeah. Episode 1 of season 3.
- 42:42Wow, what's it called? He was let's say he was filming
- 42:45for like let's say 8910 hours that day.
- 42:47He took like let's say maybe 30 minute lunch break, right?
- 42:50I caught him as he was like picking up there was like a
- 42:52coffee station in the corner. I caught him as he was walking
- 42:55out of the coffee station, walking back into the alleyway
- 42:56to go back into the studio. Literally if I would have came
- 42:59one minute later, I wouldn't have got him.
- 43:00And who knows if I ever would have got into this.
- 43:02Unbelievable. That literally sparked a.
- 43:04Have you ever seen him since? Have you ever had any
- 43:06communication with? Him since he's actually good
- 43:09friends and one of my friends and I hope.
- 43:11I wonder if he knows this. Does he know that he knows that
- 43:13you posted this and that a lot of people saw it?
- 43:16I don't know if he knows. You know what we're going to.
- 43:18Ask can you like, can you send it to him somehow?
- 43:20Like, you know, we're going. To ask, I just want you to know
- 43:22a little Diggy. I'm a fan of yours since you

- 43:39unbelievable. He's really talented.
- 43:41So Fast forward another two weeks later.
- 43:44I'm walking on Melrose, meet a guy, seems very Jewish.
- 43:46He has one ear brought on. He's in the middle of a Zoom
- 43:48meeting. He's walking with a friend into
- 43:50lunch. I caught him right before he
- 43:51walked into the lunch. It was on a Sunday morning.
- 43:54He was walking into a brunch. I asked him, are you Jewish yet?
- 43:56You want to do fill in? Yeah, why not?
- 43:57We did fill in, took a picture, and then I'm walking like a few
- 44:02monkey down the block. Someone was like, was that James
- 44:04Frank? You were.

- 44:19later, I met Jeremy Piven. I don't know if you know who
- 44:21that is. Stop asking me these questions.

- 44:37two people that started my career, I haven't gotten the
- 44:40chance yet to be in touch with them and.
- 44:42Get Well, we're thanking them right here, by the way, but if
- 44:44you could send them a thank you, what would you say?
- 44:45It's it's your birthday, guys. Pay attention.
- 44:48It's his birthday. I want to say thank you.
- 44:50I want to say I want to do to film with you guys again soon
- 44:52because Ratashem let me know and let's do it again.
- 44:55Look at it's amazing. That's all he wants.
- 44:56It's just about to fill in on the amazing.
- 44:58How many people have you wrapped in your career so far?
- 45:00Thousands thank. God, thousands, like 10,000 or
- 45:02more that's getting there, that range. 5:00-ish. 5000 people.
- 45:085-6 K. And you're only, what, 2320?
- 45:102121, yeah. Wow, you're just getting started
- 45:13today. He's do you have a number in
- 45:15mind? You have a goal of how many
- 45:16people you want to wrap and you're we.
- 45:17Got 1000 in a day. We're going to make it happen.
- 45:20Michael, this is, this is unreal.
- 45:22So here's the real question. Here's the $1,000,000 question.
- 45:25This question must be said out loud and, and I have to hear
- 45:29this. And if you don't, if you weren't
- 45:31thinking about it yet, it's time to start thinking about it right
- 45:33now. OK, I look at you and I'm
- 45:35looking at your story and how everything is unfolding and how
- 45:37just things are just happening for you and your and your life.
- 45:40I look at you as a master brander.
- 45:43At the end of the day, that's what you are.
- 45:44You're really just really good at marketing, at branding and
- 45:48promoting. Like that's what you're just
- 45:50hobnobbing with a lot of people. You're very aggressive, you're a
- 45:54go getter, doesn't seem like you sleep at all, like you're always
- 45:57in your phone or going to the next place and to the next
- 45:58place. I love that for you.
- 46:00That's amazing. So my question is, how are we
- 46:03monetizing on this? When are the big bucks going to
- 46:06start rolling in? And by the way, not because you
- 46:08want to become wealthy, because you're the kind of guy that
- 46:11you're going to further what you're doing with money.
- 46:13Money's going to propel your cause to bigger places.
- 46:16So you can do things that mass production, right?
- 46:19So you're the kind of person that you need to start
- 46:22monetizing on this. This is not sustainable if
- 46:25you're not going to be making money.
- 46:26So what's the plan? Is there a plan?
- 46:28Are you already making money? Like what's what's that looking
- 46:31like for you coming up? What are we doing?
- 46:33Great question. Yeah, Yeah.
- 46:35Question. So there's no direct way that
- 46:37I'm monetizing at the moment. God willing, as time goes on,
- 46:40we'll find better way. We'll find amazing ways to
- 46:42monetize hope, be able to connect good people with other
- 46:45good people and hopefully get into some good business deals,
- 46:48hopefully find people, investors, etcetera, and maybe
- 46:51get some Commission. I don't even know if that's the
- 46:53route you need to take. I don't know.
- 46:54You tell me you're Michael. I think we need to get involved
- 46:56over here. Yeah.
- 46:57I'm happy to step. He's a network.
- 46:58Let me know when you're. Ready.
- 46:59He's a network is what he's good at.
- 47:00And you know, you're gonna get streams of revenue coming from
- 47:04advertisers, sponsors, people that just want to be associated.
- 47:08With you that are good. And, and your platform, you need
- 47:10to build a platform, become that influencer, which is you're
- 47:13already doing that. And you just started this less
- 47:15than a year ago in a big way and you're blowing up.
- 47:18And I see big things for you. I think that you're really going
- 47:21to be because you have a cause behind what you're doing.
- 47:24You're on a mission. You have a great personality.
- 47:27You're you're not like shy, you're not reserved.
- 47:30You're like full of energy and you're an excitable person.
- 47:33I think you have the make up to do really, really big things and
- 47:36I think you're good at it. Michael, Mike, you with me?
- 47:38I'm not only am I with you, I backed it up with an $1800
- 47:41promise and a gift because I believe in the 'cause right?
- 47:44And I think that could be the beginning of something great.
- 47:46And, but besides that, I just want to really tell you
- 47:48something really quickly. The idea of you connecting
- 47:50people in networking and making commissions of deals and so on
- 47:53should should really be the secondary thing always because
- 47:56people do get distracted sometimes when they meet people
- 47:58on high levels like, oh, let me connect.
- 48:00You let me connect. And if you stick to what you're
- 48:02good at and you just keep doing that, I promise you, just like
- 48:06you gave the promise the Kansas City Chiefs will win.
- 48:08I promise you'll be more successful and you'll know what
- 48:10to do with because because you're out to share, it'll lead
- 48:12to one thing just like this, evenings leading to this.
- 48:15And, you know, you're so young and you're just getting started.
- 48:20And to me, it's like, who's next?
- 48:22What's next? Let's talk about it.
- 48:23Keep doing what you're doing right now.
- 48:25Keep doing what you're doing. They got Uber, Uber deviating.
- 48:27They weren't making money. He's Jewish.
- 48:29I just discovered this last week.
- 48:31Travis Kalcinek is Jewish and I'm working on getting to film
- 48:34with him. Hold on, how do we do that?
- 48:36I really want to know live know that how are you doing?
- 48:38What's happening? Some random guy DM me on
- 48:39LinkedIn with his Wikipedia and I looked into it.
- 48:42OK, so you the. Guy's mother's Jewish, so you
- 48:44confirmed this. You confirmed this already.
- 48:46OK, what's your next step? Next step.
- 48:48Step is reaching out to a mutual friend of ours and connecting.
- 48:51And getting it set up. You know, already a mutual
- 48:53friend? Yeah.
- 48:53Oh, you're already that far in the process.
- 48:55So you're already on it, you're already on it, you're already
- 48:57making. Moves throughout the Shem.
- 48:58By the next time we see each other, we've already finished
- 49:00that film. Maybe Michael will join us.
- 49:01I wish I. But Michael, what I'm saying is
- 49:03this is what he needs to continue doing is gaining
- 49:06viewership and just building on this platform and the money will
- 49:09follow afterwards like what Uber did.
- 49:11They first wanted users, they wanted to make their product so
- 49:13deliverable and so well received that people have to.
- 49:16Use this. They're not making.
- 49:18That later how to make money right now just get people
- 49:20addicted to what you're doing and that is what's happening
- 49:23right now I will. Tell you you're going to get
- 49:24sponsorships. Yeah.
- 49:25Because you know people are going to be proud to be part of
- 49:27their my friend. Showed me Adm with an
- 49:29influencer. This influencer probably has
- 49:312030 million followers. He found the guy when he had
- 49:33like 20, thirty, 40,000 followers.
- 49:36He was offering the guy like 50 bucks to promote something.
- 49:38The guy's like, yes, how much you charge?
- 49:40He's like I charge $20 to promote something and I'll give
- 49:43you 10 bucks like OK deal for $10.
- 49:45Guys promoting now he probably makes.
- 49:46I wouldn't be surprised the guy's making 5 or 10 million a
- 49:48month. Well, you guys probably making
- 49:5050 million. Sponsorships specifically to
- 49:53what you're doing because you're hitting such a niche.
- 49:55Yes, legacy media today isn't the same.
- 49:58People want to put their word out there with guys like this
- 50:02that have a real following that people are tuned in to what he's
- 50:05doing on a daily basis and they're checking in because they
- 50:07appreciate his content. They understand, you know what,
- 50:10what you're about and the kind of following that you have.
- 50:12So that's what you're doing. Keep building that.
- 50:14Yeah, keep building. That the dish Maya, no.
- 50:16So what? Michael said also earlier at the
- 50:17beginning the pod was a great idea.
- 50:20Get people to sponsor. Each week find a different
- 50:22sponsor. People, God willing, will reach
- 50:24out from this podcast. You can.
- 50:26Find for now, for now in the beginning as you're building up.
- 50:28Just $1800 a week, sponsor a week and that will just pay for
- 50:31costs, let's say flights, Ubers, etcetera, buying people to fill
- 50:35in. Yeah, taking people who's on the
- 50:37wish list, who's coming up? Like who are you targeting?
- 50:39Like who's next? There's a few holy grails.
- 50:41There's like Larry David, Sandy Kofax.
- 50:44Joey Seinfeld How do we get Jerry Seinfeld?
- 50:47So Jerry, I've actually heard that whenever Rabbi's asked him
- 50:50to run until he's very open to it.
- 50:51So he's done it before. Yeah, I haven't seen a picture
- 50:53yet, but he's not the shamel. Got it.
- 50:54But we got to get a picture and I'm sad.
- 50:56You know what they say? No picture.
- 50:57It's not real. We need a picture or it's fake.
- 51:00Well, he's in New York City. They go to a school together
- 51:02with other people that we know. So 100.
- 51:04Percent, who would we be shocked right now to learn is Jewish?
- 51:06Like give us the name of someone that you've discovered.
- 51:08Is Jewish. Travis was interesting.
- 51:10It's a good question. It's like, who are you going
- 51:13after then? It's also so interesting to
- 51:15discover how many people in positions of power are actually
- 51:19Jewish. Yeah, I recently.
- 51:21Surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise.
- 51:23I'm not surprised. I was at the ball after the
- 51:25inauguration of President Trump. And you were at the
- 51:29inauguration? Yeah, you were there as you were
- 51:30invited. Me, my friend was invited.
- 51:33I was just plus one. Wow.
- 51:35Yeah. So basically.
- 51:36People are honored to be Yeah, that's what I'm finding.
- 51:39That's a pretty big deal. It's there was a there was a
- 51:42special ball that the president hosted after the official
- 51:45inauguration. We also it.
- 51:47Yeah, with everyone from everyone in the room was from
- 51:50Zuckerberg, Bezos, right, etcetera, Mike Tyson, Conor
- 51:55McGregor, Logan and Jake Paul, etcetera.
- 51:57Right. So I'm sitting there talking to
- 52:00a friend of mine. My friend was sitting in VIP.
- 52:02I'm like, Oh yeah, I have to go see him.
- 52:03So they let me into VIP. Whatever.
- 52:04We finessed our way in and I'm sitting there talking to my
- 52:08friend like that, Sergey Brin, the founder of Google, the 7th
- 52:13richest man in the world. There's no way that's him.
- 52:15Google on my phone. You Google the owner of Google.
- 52:19Google. Sergey Brin?
- 52:20Yeah. OK, picture.
- 52:22That's him. That's him.
- 52:23I walk over to him and what do I discover?
- 52:27The guy's wearing a hostage necklace on his neck.
- 52:30Nice. From the thousands of people to
- 52:31go see. Founder of Google, one of the
- 52:33most powerful people in the world, proudly standing up for
- 52:36his role. Standing up for the hostages.
- 52:38And you just walk over to him. I.
- 52:38Just walked over to him. There's no security around, like
- 52:41you could just get to anybody with it.
- 52:42Zuckerberg's walking around with 10 bodyguards.
- 52:44They says the same thing. This guy, that guy, everyone.
- 52:46This guy, he doesn't have social media.
- 52:48He's a low key guy. Not a lot of people know he is.
- 52:51Obviously people know his companies, etcetera.
- 52:53But he's not like a public. He's not like an Elon Musk, you
- 52:56know what I'm saying? He's worth 157 billion.
- 52:59Like he's not poor, but he's not.
- 53:02But he's not like crazy. Like he's not a celebrity.
- 53:05Right, he could afford a security, but it is just.
- 53:07Not to. Yeah.
- 53:08OK, So I go over to him. Hi.
- 53:10Excuse me. Yasi.
- 53:11Farah. Nice to meet you.
- 53:12And I compliment someone on his necklace.
- 53:14I'm like, it's beautiful. Can I trouble you for a picture?
- 53:16Yeah. And then I asked him go for the
- 53:18killer shot. Of course.
- 53:20Have you ever put on phone? I'm like, would you would love
- 53:23to do a film with you? Have you ever heard of phone?
- 53:25Have you ever put on phone? Like what's that like?
- 53:27You got to Google it. You got to Google it.
- 53:32No, but I'm like, you never heard of spelling?
- 53:33He's like, no, I'm like, what's your contact that's being
- 53:35touched? You gave me this.
- 53:36How do you describe a film to someone really quickly?
- 53:38Like somebody asks you what is it?
- 53:39What do you say to them? I usually.
- 53:40Show them a picture of Bill Ackman and I'm like, yeah, this
- 53:42is to fellow Jewish prayer. But what's behind it?
- 53:44No, people don't ask you like what does this mean?
- 53:46Why should that deep? So nobody even gets into the
- 53:48story behind it. They're just like yes or no and
- 53:50that's it. Your.
- 53:51Mind, heart, soul. God, thank you Hashem.
- 53:54But why? Why did God?
- 53:55Why does God want this? What does this represent?
- 53:57Nobody asks you any details. Not really.
- 54:00You see, by the way, this goes back sort of a little.
- 54:02Bit I wonder if there's a way to end my point.
- 54:04I mean the 10th by the way, it takes you 60 seconds.
- 54:06You are saying blessings. Maybe there's one line that you
- 54:08could put in there, The. Line I usually put is we put it
- 54:11right over here next to our heart, right over here next to
- 54:13our heart to connect our mind and soul.
- 54:14Take one of it. Pause.
- 54:16Thank our sham for all the blessings you have in life.
- 54:17Pray to our sham for all the blessings you want in your life.
- 54:19That's usually what I tell. Beautiful, by the way, that's
- 54:21very nice by the that's beautiful.
- 54:22That's that's a quick pitch right there.
- 54:24I like that. I resonate with that.
- 54:26That's amazing. Like, you got everybody up in
- 54:28arms right now, like having debates about Jake Paul if he's
- 54:31Jewish and not Jewish. Now let's admit it, business
- 54:33partners like I think Jake might be one of or maybe the most
- 54:37famous Jew in the world. If he's Jewish, it's.
- 54:39Unbelievable. You know the thing that there's
- 54:40no such thing as bad PR? This is it, right here, whether
- 54:43he's Jewish or not. You know what's a rabbi told me
- 54:46on the phone today? The guy's like, maybe he's
- 54:49Jewish, maybe he's not. The main thing is you don't know
- 54:52how many thousands of people it the video has just on Instagram,
- 54:5580,000 shares, it means 80,000 people shared it with other
- 54:59people. He's like, you don't know how
- 55:00many thousands of people put on film that since then just
- 55:03because they saw Jake Paul. He's like, I know hundreds of
- 55:05people. He's like, I know people in my
- 55:07Toronto community. This is a rabbi in Toronto.
- 55:09He's like, I know people in my community that they've never
- 55:12posted anything Jewish, for sure not anything religious in their
- 55:15life. And they're posting the Jake
- 55:16Paul video. Yep.
- 55:16Yeah, like that's you think Jake has ever posted, I think Jewish
- 55:20in his entire life. No, there he is posting it.
- 55:21Stirs up conversations. He gets people talking him.
- 55:24Supporting Israel, etcetera. Like, yeah, even if he's a guy.
- 55:28I hadn't think so, but. Yeah, I agree.
- 55:30We had on our podcast Nachi Gordon for a meaningful minute.
- 55:33You remember what he called us? Yeah, he joined me for something
- 55:36yesterday. Yeah, he's awesome, Nachi.
- 55:37He's great. You know what he told us?
- 55:38What he told us was that, you know, when you see in the Super
- 55:41Bowl, like, you know, these big events, and that's millions and
- 55:43millions of eyeballs on it. And you always see those
- 55:45advertisements from, from Jesus, you know, connect to your roots.
- 55:49And you know, Jesus loves everybody and the church, they
- 55:51spend millions and millions of dollars, right to give more
- 55:55exposure to to their religion. He said, how nice would it be if
- 55:59we can also do something similar where we put a 32nd little clip
- 56:03and where millions of people are, are, are looking at it.
- 56:05And you put a picture of a of a woman, a Jewish woman who's
- 56:08covering your eyes, lighting candles.
- 56:09And at the bottom a little quick tagline, like learn a little bit
- 56:12more about your heritage. Click on this on this link over
- 56:15here. And that's, I feel like you're
- 56:17doing that in in a big way. You're getting conversation
- 56:20started. People are talking about it.
- 56:22I mean, there's a lot of ruckus going on right now, whether it's
- 56:24Jewish or not Jewish. The fact is there's a
- 56:26conversation being had and there are people that are benefiting
- 56:29from this. So you're doing really good.
- 56:31You're doing a really nice thing that is helping just get people
- 56:34involved. And you might have those few
- 56:36people that are going to take it to the next level and save one
- 56:40person, save the world, right? So big fans of what you're
- 56:43doing, Michael, let's understand who he is a little bit because,
- 56:46yeah, what you're doing is amazing.
- 56:47I've been. Waiting for this opportunity.
- 56:49So you're 21 years old. You've been strapping people
- 56:52since you're 7 apparently. Is what you're. 7:00 or 8:00?
- 56:557/12 Let's see, in February 2012 I turned 8.
- 56:59Question if I start in January. What was your?
- 57:01What was your environment? Don't worry, when they write
- 57:03about you, they'll get it right. What was this picture I was able
- 57:07to find with April of 2012? So I was eight years old at the
- 57:10time. Where were you living?
- 57:11What was your environment like? Your.
- 57:13Family grew up in the Crownite section of Brooklyn, OK.
- 57:16I lived there till 15, 15 I went to Israel for yeshiva 15 to 17,
- 57:21then 17 to 19 I was in yeshiva in LA.
- 57:23Then last year I was in yeshiva in New York, and then this year
- 57:26I'm here in Miami. But but yeah.
- 57:29Mike, he doesn't have a big pass.
- 57:30He's only 21 years old. That's a lot, though.
- 57:32That's a lot. That's a lot.
- 57:34Story is pretty short. He's writing his book as we
- 57:36speak, literally up to Chapter 2 in your book, you got a lot.
- 57:39More Hold on, at what? At what age did they take you to
- 57:42training in Manhattan? So I used to learn with a guy
- 57:45one-on-one. I used to have like a tutor.
- 57:46I used to learn with every day or a couple times a week.
- 57:50And I don't know if he asked my mother, my mother asked him, can
- 57:54you take my son on to do to fill in on Friday, keep him busy.
- 57:57She said for sure. We started going.
- 58:00He would make me give a cuz I'm a kind.
- 58:01He would make me give a bracha to every single person we did
- 58:03the filling with. I would go we have videos of me
- 58:06doing like hi David or whatever the whole every single time.
- 58:09So we did that till I was like maybe 13.
- 58:11Then in like 1314, I started doing it in my counselor and one
- 58:14day me and my friend decided when I was like maybe I think
- 58:17around 13 or 14, we decided we're starting our own route.
- 58:20So we decided we started knocking on doors in Manhattan,
- 58:22finding Jews, and we're knocking on different businesses.
- 58:25One day we see a business with the Mrs. on it.
- 58:28Knock on the door. Excuse me?
- 58:28So you're Jewish? No, I'm not like you sure?
- 58:31I saw Mrs. on the door, not Jewish.
- 58:33Tell from a mile away the guy was Jewish.
- 58:34I knew it. Yeah, something I can't hide as
- 58:36much as I try. You know what I decided?
- 58:38I decided I'm going to come back next week.
- 58:39Hopefully he doesn't Remember Me and maybe he'll say, yes, I'm
- 58:42Jewish and we'll do too long. I came back next week.
- 58:44Excuse me? So you're Jewish since you were
- 58:46here last week. I'm like, oh, my bad.
- 58:48I'm all like all embarrassed. I'm like a 13 or 14 year old kid
- 58:51at the time. I'm embarrassed.
- 58:53Like the guy's like, please never come back here.
- 58:55I'm not Jewish. Like, OK, Fast forward like two
- 58:58or three months. Him and his girlfriend both say
- 59:00like, get out of here. Fast forward like two or three
- 59:02months, I am walking down the street and this is in the
- 59:06financials district in New York City, and I meet a guy, see me
- 59:09say Jewish. Yeah, you put on the phone
- 59:10today. He's like, actually I put on the
- 59:11phone every single morning. Today I was in a rush to work,
- 59:13didn't have a chance to put on the phone.
- 59:15Like, let's do it. I don't want to do it outside in
- 59:16front of all the guy. And let's go to somewhere
- 59:18inside, like there's a lounge around here.
- 59:20Let's go to this lounge. Start walking to the lounge.
- 59:22He's like, by the way, he's like, actually my son has a
- 59:24store like down the block. Why don't we go to my son's
- 59:26store? So I'm like, hey, let's go.
- 59:28So we walk into the store we started doing that's filling and
- 59:31it happened to be that store I was in a couple months earlier.
- 59:33Get out of here. And the guy's face turned red.
- 59:35Stop. It starts.
- 59:36Changing colors and he's all embarrassed like.
- 59:41So this is his father and his father's putting filling on
- 59:44there in front of you and. Then after, when we finished
- 59:46doing that filling, he's like, oh, I need to go put on some of
- 59:48my son. I'm like, that's your son.
- 59:51And I'm like, yeah, he's like, oh, I met him a few months ago.
- 59:53He told me he's not Jewish. You said that.
- 59:55Yeah, of course. Yeah, exactly.
- 59:58You could have played it a little bit more aggressive is
- 1:00:00his. I see you don't mess around.
- 1:00:02Maybe you didn't pick up on it. Yet, Yeah, OK, OK, so.
- 1:00:05I told him I'm like, oh, your son told me he's not Jewish.
- 1:00:08What did he tell you? He said come back here next week
- 1:00:10and every single week for next two or three years, as long as I
- 1:00:13lived in New York, I would go and put on phone with him every
- 1:00:16single week. On his son.
- 1:00:17He came back next week. His son has black and blue.
- 1:00:22I can tell you we came back the next week and I've probably done
- 1:00:24phone with 100 times since with the son was at his office two or
- 1:00:28three months ago. Last time I was in New York and
- 1:00:30literally I could literally the guy, we never talked about it
- 1:00:34again. We just did the phone every
- 1:00:35single time. One day I I was in Israel for a
- 1:00:38few months. I came back, he's like I missed
- 1:00:40putting on to fill and he's like we do a longer prayer today
- 1:00:42because I really missed putting on to fill and this is a stunt
- 1:00:44telling me the guy that told me he's not Jewish.
- 1:00:46And then one day I'm at the OL. So I'm at the OL.
- 1:00:51So don't worry A bunch of Jews, a bunch of Bakram took me over
- 1:00:54and every single week Bakram go to him for the last.
- 1:00:56This is now this was when I was 13, so 8 years already seven or
- 1:00:59eight years now every single week Bakram go to this guy and
- 1:01:01put on phone with him. Wow, that story.
- 1:01:04But. You think at some point he can
- 1:01:05do it on his own already? Like why do they have to keep
- 1:01:07going back and doing it with him?
- 1:01:08But the point is he's. Accountable.
- 1:01:10You're spending a lot of value. I think he likes the.
- 1:01:12Attention, though, maybe it's like part of the thing, like,
- 1:01:14hey, these guys are going to come to me and they're going to
- 1:01:16help me and they're gonna connect with me.
- 1:01:17Yeah. So there's a guy that was doing
- 1:01:18business with this person. One day he goes over to the
- 1:01:20bathroom, I'm at the aisle and this guy tells me you do tone
- 1:01:23with this and this guy every. You used to do tone with him,
- 1:01:25right? He's like, yeah, I have a story
- 1:01:26to tell you. He's like, I was, we used to.
- 1:01:28We go to this guy one day, so this guy does business to them,
- 1:01:31comes over to us, tells us the guy's been dating a guy for
- 1:01:34like, 4 or five years, and it's a disastrous case.
- 1:01:37He's dating a chick. So the chances are they're
- 1:01:38probably going to get engaged soon.
- 1:01:40Could you hear? I wrote a letter to the rabbis.
- 1:01:42Oh, hell. Could you please deliver us to
- 1:01:44Oh, and pray for him to find the Jewish girl and break up with
- 1:01:47this girl. The buckram say, yeah, no
- 1:01:49problem. They went to the aisle.
- 1:01:50It's in a few weeks. The guy dropped the girlfriend,
- 1:01:52and now he's dating a Jewish girl.
- 1:01:54The story happened maybe six months ago.
- 1:01:56I don't have to make that story. I gotta yes.
- 1:01:58Let me ask you this question would be very honest with me
- 1:02:00now. It's crazy.
- 1:02:01No, I by the way, just the beauty of that is that you're
- 1:02:03the you're what we're doing is we're asking people, right?
- 1:02:08Is your mother Jewish and. As that's not what he asked, no.
- 1:02:11No, in general. In general, we're asking that.
- 1:02:12And. And when you're asking someone
- 1:02:14if they're Jewish, right? Yeah.
- 1:02:15So it'll start somewhere. So of course it's so important
- 1:02:17in the beginning of that relationship.
- 1:02:19Yeah, stop it from happening. You want to pass that.
- 1:02:21On go ahead, try to be honest. Just double click on that like
- 1:02:25the father puts on phone every single day.
- 1:02:26Imagine if it was a regular Friday, they told me yeah no
- 1:02:29problem, I did phone already today and he would have walked
- 1:02:30away. The chances are that he puts on
- 1:02:32phone every single. Day that he didn't.
- 1:02:34Yeah, he didn't, he said. And every person we put on
- 1:02:37phone. Yeah.
- 1:02:38That that, that was probably. Double click.
- 1:02:40You caught that. I love that.
- 1:02:42I never heard that before When you want to like focus in on
- 1:02:44something, let's double click on that for a second.
- 1:02:46I love. That and I've never, I've never
- 1:02:47met a guy and he said, no, I don't want to do it over here,
- 1:02:49let's walk two blocks. It's never happened.
- 1:02:51I walked two blocks with someone to go put on phone with
- 1:02:53somewhere, somewhere out. Like the chance of that story
- 1:02:55happens one in a million. I want to ask something.
- 1:02:57Yes, this is. You have to answer this
- 1:02:59honestly, OK. Go ahead.
- 1:03:01If I give you 2 options right now, you got to put filling on
- 1:03:04for Larry David, the guy who said I don't care how much money
- 1:03:08you offer me, I'm not putting filling that guy.
- 1:03:10Put in filling on him. Or option 2 is I'm going to
- 1:03:13bring you 100 people that never put filling on before in their
- 1:03:16life and in their life, and you're putting to fill on either
- 1:03:19for these 100 people or for Larry David.
- 1:03:21Which one do you do? So I'll give you and why.
- 1:03:24It's a hard question. I don't know what the answer is.
- 1:03:26I don't have to ask Amashvia. Right now, the top of your head,
- 1:03:29we'll dissect this later, but the top of your head, what do
- 1:03:31you think you're going? To do How'd your girkoptus or
- 1:03:32Larry David? There you go.
- 1:03:33Exactly. I'll tell you what you're going
- 1:03:36to do. I already know.
- 1:03:37I already know. No, no, no.
- 1:03:39He's he's pretending like he doesn't know what he's going to.
- 1:03:41Do Larry David. I know, but let Larry David.
- 1:03:43Let's see how he scorns out of it though.
- 1:03:44I'd like to hear the. Answer OK, OK.
- 1:03:46So I would have to ask him. I should be about that's.
- 1:03:50Of course a great answer by the way also.
- 1:03:52We wouldn't suspect that. Back in the 80's, the Rep used
- 1:03:55to answer everyone's questions, right finally there, ABBA said.
- 1:03:58I've gotten so many requests for questions.
- 1:04:01Please everyone, appoint yourself a must be a spiritual
- 1:04:04leader and please start asking them questions.
- 1:04:06Obviously the more important question you come to me, but
- 1:04:08there are very much encouraged every single Jew to have a
- 1:04:12mushbia, to have a spiritual leader, he said.
- 1:04:15If you have questions of business, go to someone that's
- 1:04:17more more experienced and busy, you have questions than this,
- 1:04:20etcetera. You should.
- 1:04:21Every Jew should have a mushbia. But we don't have that much to
- 1:04:23be available right now. He's busy.
- 1:04:25What is what is Yossi Farrow doing on instinct?
- 1:04:28What are you doing? It's hard.
- 1:04:31One that's not hard. I'm gonna say it for you.
- 1:04:33We gotta do Larry David because I think Larry David will make a
- 1:04:36much bigger impression and I think than those hundred random
- 1:04:38people. Exactly.
- 1:04:39You'll get 1000, new people get 1000.
- 1:04:41People from that So what I would like to leave you off with what
- 1:04:44I want. My closing sentiment for you is
- 1:04:47you gotta keep having fun with what you're doing.
- 1:04:50I think it's very important that you get caught up in the glamour
- 1:04:53and the glitz of what you're doing because there's a lot of
- 1:04:55good coming from it. And it can't always just be cut
- 1:04:58and dry that I'm doing a good thing.
- 1:05:00Because then a lot you lose the flavor a little bit.
- 1:05:02You don't just gotta be passionate and don't let anybody
- 1:05:05ever tell you otherwise. And if anybody ever critiques
- 1:05:07you and say, hey, what you doing is not all real.
- 1:05:09It's not all altruistic. That's OK.
- 1:05:12That's actually fine. You got to package it with a
- 1:05:14little bit of fun as well, 100%. And my advice to you is to keep
- 1:05:18doing what you're doing. Don't stop double and triple and
- 1:05:20tenfold down on what you're doing today.
- 1:05:22And it's amazing. People are taking notice.
- 1:05:24You're making moves and people are watching you and you're
- 1:05:27making us all look good. So we're big fans and we want to
- 1:05:30thank you. I think you're doing.
- 1:05:31Amazing. Michael, some closing thoughts.
- 1:05:36I'm by the way, I'm impressed with both of us that we got him
- 1:05:39to the other side. Yeah, I'm actually.
- 1:05:40I feel like we. Converted.
- 1:05:41Isn't that what usually happened?
- 1:05:42Yes, in the beginning I'm like one way and then 4th the band
- 1:05:45come again. I I love it.
- 1:05:46It was great. Yeah.
- 1:05:47Congratulations to that Part 2. I'm gonna.
- 1:05:49I'm gonna in what in? 2 years a Part 2.
- 1:05:51Yes, yes. I don't know about two years,
- 1:05:53like six months. Live at the 1012.
- 1:05:55You'll see, you know, what you're doing, by the way, is
- 1:05:57essentially a little bit, we're doing a little bit of a version
- 1:05:59of what you're doing, which is at the end of every one of our
- 1:06:01podcasts, we asked our guests, can you select A guest that
- 1:06:04would be good for our podcast? And we asked them to contact
- 1:06:06them right now on the spot, on the spot.

- 1:06:11it for you. Who do you got?

- 1:06:15Is he the most followed rabbi on the Internet?
- 1:06:17Is he really? Yeah.
- 1:06:18We don't know the sound of that. OK.
- 1:06:21Yeah, that's. Fun.
- 1:06:21Is he a good guest? He's a great guest.
