  Anoshi. Welcome back everybody to
• 1:11
  another sensational podcast, Oshi.
• 1:15
  The reason why I use the word sensational is because I can't
• 1:17
  think of another word to describe my very good friend.
• 1:20
  RIP Shmili Unger. I said it correctly, right?
• 1:22
  Yeah. As I grew, I grew up with a
• 1:25
  Shmuel as a friend, as a Sam, as a as a, you know, Shmili.
• 1:29
  You're the Shmili. Shmili, Shmilu, everybody just
• 1:32
  just call me Michael. I like it.
• 1:36
  The reason why I'm using the word sensational she is because
• 1:39
  when it comes to music and it comes to life, those two are
• 1:43
  very synonymous with me. It lives.
• 1:45
  I live for music and I get ready for Shabbos with music.
• 1:49
  I start my most of Shabbos with music.
• 1:51
  I wake up to music, I go to sleep with music and I would say
• 1:54
  that 51% of it is Jewish and I would say a good 20% of it is
• 2:00
  the man in the seat right here. And you, you have brought
• 2:04
  amazing, amazing energy and inspiration to me in my life,
• 2:07

• 2:27
  Boris Hashem. My kids just turned 6, was their
• 2:30

• 2:32
  March 29th is their birthday. But the year that she wasn't.

  Cool, that is the 27th. You celebrate both.
• 2:36
  Though my wife celebrates both, this is one of the arguments.
• 2:39
  And English. Presents.
• 2:40
  Yeah, she likes to celebrate, but I told her we she got to
• 2:43
  pick my presents. You got?
• 2:44
  To pick one, you can't do both. Right.
• 2:45
  That's what I say, yeah, Because we're the one earning the money
• 2:48
  and, you know, funding all. This I personally celebrate my
• 2:51
  birthday the whole month. From.
• 2:53
  Beginning of the month to the end of the month.
• 2:55
  It's a birthday month for me and I'm very into it and my friends
• 2:58
  all know. So you for real?
• 2:59
  Yeah, I'm serious. Yeah.
• 3:01
  Does it go. Based my family, not just me.
• 3:02
  My hold on does it go? Based on your sign or the month
• 3:05
  meaning. Hold on, my birthday is

  I have a birthday as. Well, and your whole family
• 3:23
  practices for everybody in the family.
• 3:24
  Very much so. And we recognize each other's
• 3:26
  birthdays. We call it out, we make a big
• 3:28
  deal about it. When I grew up, my parents made
• 3:31
  a big deal about our birthdays and it carried on.
• 3:33
  And I do it for my kids as well, like I make a big deal about
• 3:35
  their birthdays. But you choose one.
• 3:37
  English English birthday I go by English birthday.
• 3:39
  But you choose the whole month. Yeah, I'm saying.
• 3:41
  But that day is the cream of the Creme.
• 3:43
  That day, the cherry on top. Because when we do the the heavy
• 3:47
  hitting, celebrating. Like, well, the cake in the face
• 3:49
  is what you practice. No, no, no cake in the face.
• 3:52
  No, that's my practice. I do that a lot to cake in the
• 3:54
  face. It's always fun.
• 3:56
  It's funny that you said that your parents, you know where you
• 3:58
  grew up and what you did, it shapes you.
• 4:00
  I happen to know that you and I spoke before and you speak about
• 4:02
  your mother and her music and her love for music.
• 4:05
  The second he said parents and that it it clicked to me and I
• 4:07
  was like, tell us about who you are, where you came from.
• 4:10
  When did you start singing? When did you be?
• 4:12
  When did you know that you had the talent?
• 4:13
  When did the world recognize that you had the talent?
• 4:16
  One question. And it's a lot.
• 4:17
  It's a lot. I'm trying questions.
• 4:19
  That's the world I want to go through.
• 4:20
  But it's it's came. From where you are today, where
• 4:22
  you're going starting, of course, is when, when did you go
• 4:25
  back to the beginning? Yeah, I.
• 4:26
  Will try don't go painfully through every like month of your
• 4:30
  life like. Go through.
• 4:32
  Thank you. By the way, the important we've
• 4:34
  had. Milestones go through the
• 4:35
  milestones of. Your life?
• 4:36
  I guess so. So I would say my singing voices
• 4:40
  from my mother. She knew how to sing and, and
• 4:43
  she sang. She grew up in Australia and
• 4:46
  Chabad. She wasn't Hasidish and she
• 4:49
  would sing on the radio and she would sing in school.
• 4:52
  And my father couldn't sing. He liked to sing, but he
• 4:55
  couldn't sing anyway. So I take it from my mother.
• 4:58
  And you asked one of your questions is when I knew or how
• 5:00
  I know It's, it's a good question because as a kid, how
• 5:03
  do you know if you can sing? I, I, I like to sing.
• 5:06
  I was always, you know, on the knocking like this and singing
• 5:09
  about you Schuma, and it wasn't camp and get the voof.
• 5:12
  We went to camp for the first time. 6th grade for you're going
• 5:15
  to have to. By the way, I already see where
• 5:16
  this is. Going, I know.
• 5:17
  Because I did watch your podcast a little bit.
• 5:19
  For and the numbers are. Well, if you can.
• 5:21
  Only do you speak your whole podcast in Yiddish, which is
• 5:23
  fascinating to me. I, I speak Yiddish, I speak
• 5:26
  Yiddish. So fascinating.
• 5:27
  You speak very quickly, even for Yiddish you speak.
• 5:30
  You think so? You know when you hear another
• 5:31
  language and you're like, wow, it sounds so fast.
• 5:33
  Or speaking Israeli. I actually we went Yiddish and
• 5:37
  you speak very quickly. Interesting.
• 5:39
  So you're going to throw around a lot of words today.
• 5:41
  I imagine like so just 6th grade.
• 5:43
  Yeah, but try, you know, keep it plain and simple for our.
• 5:46
  I don't think 6th grade is kid to move.
• 5:48
  What's the number? How old are you in 6th grade?
• 5:51
  And I'll tell you so, 11 would be kid to Zion.
• 5:55
  You're like a year off. I guess so.
• 5:57
  You guys are bar mitzvah your number.
• 5:59
  Get the test. We get.
• 6:00
  We get. We get the test.
• 6:01
  That's not by us. When does when does elementary
• 6:03
  school end? So what does elementary?
• 6:05
  School 8 like grades eight years. 13 you start to get after
• 6:09
  after 13. By 14 you're going to shave a
• 6:11
  kid. How many?
• 6:12
  What hit is that? Test after test 9, test you go.
• 6:16
  They're a year off by 8. We go to 8, we go to 8.
• 6:19
  So your nine is 8, your 8 is ours.
• 6:20
  We're. Not going to say who's slower.
• 6:23
  We'll let the audience decide. I don't think they have
• 6:27
  kindergarten, I think they go straight to 1st grade.
• 6:29
  We start the nursery. Something nursery.
• 6:31
  Kindergarten. There's kindergarten too, I
• 6:33
  guess. Maybe.
• 6:33
  They're pre one aids. You don't have both?
• 6:35
  No, there's no. That they don't have.
• 6:36
  They're not pre one. Pre 1A1A half, yeah.
• 6:38
  We have pre 1A and kindergarten. And we had kindergarten, nursery
• 6:42
  and Kitaalov. We're also learning the ABC's
• 6:45
  probably earlier. No, I'm saying.
• 6:47
  My kids don't know the ABC, they know it from from the books, my
• 6:50
  mother, my my wife. What point would they learn ABC?
• 6:52
  How does it? Work.
• 6:53
  I think we started in Kita Dalad, which is.
• 6:55
  There you go, 4th grade only 4th grade English thing. 4th grade.
• 6:59
  Was one hour of English. Not cool.
• 7:01
  That's very late to start thinking.
• 7:03
  The kids, you know, ABC's, I mean they do live in America.
• 7:06
  This is the number one language in the world.
• 7:08
  You know, there's a lot of continue.
• 7:10
  I totally hyped. Yeah, don't worry about it.
• 7:12
  Apologize so kid. Took this way, of course.
• 7:14
  Go ahead. But this is good.
• 7:15
  This is. This is how we learn.
• 7:16
  This is how we widen our. Whatever the our knowledge.
• 7:20
  Yeah, yeah, I my English is not so good as my Yiddish.
• 7:23
  Your English is fine, but. It's fine.
• 7:24
  I was fortunate because my mother grew up in Australia but
• 7:27
  AB CS were starting get the Dalits.
• 7:28
  But I my mother spoke English at home, that's why my English is
• 7:31
  better. Saying she played music also.
• 7:33
  No, she didn't play music. Yeah.
• 7:35
  What kind of music was she listening to?
• 7:36
  Things that I would know both Jewish and non Jewish.
• 7:38
  I guess so, yeah. Yeah, maybe the 5149.
• 7:41
  Ratio. You play the instruments.
• 7:43
  No, I don't. So you only sing.
• 7:44
  OK, I only sing. Yeah, only.
• 7:45
  Vote. So you're in elementary school?
• 7:46
  Yeah, Go. Ahead.
• 7:47
  Yeah, and and the vuve and we were in camp and this one of
• 7:52
  them alarmed them. There was always singing in
• 7:54
  camp, but a boy in a Shalom la MI Machen a bite and the kids
• 7:57
  answer a bite. Velami Machen, you know this
• 7:59
  one? No, but from the 50%.
• 8:01
  Hold on, try it on her. She again try.
• 8:03
  It again, No, I don't know how to No, I don't know that one.
• 8:05
  Oh, I heard. You heard the song.
• 8:06
  I've heard the song. It's a whole conversation about.
• 8:08
  I've wrote it. It's a conversation between man
• 8:10
  and God that I want to give God all my caputas.
• 8:13
  Avoid. Not my hatum avoidance.
• 8:16
  And yeah. And you give me forgiveness.
• 8:18
  Forgiveness. Yeah.
• 8:23
  So this is kind of song and there's a song voice Valley
• 8:27
  Medicine of them sitting you. So there's all kinds of songs
• 8:32
  that there's a child standing up and the kids sing.
• 8:34
  It's like it does. And he chose me.
• 8:36
  This Muhammad, he was a sing. He knows how to sing.
• 8:40
  His father is a composer. And I guess he, he know I can
• 8:44
  sing. And he put me up there.
• 8:45
  And then after camp finished, it was the end of the summer.
• 8:48
  There was the Yuma Marum came up and there's the, there's the
• 8:51
  choir and we have a kids choir, an adult choir.
• 8:54
  So who goes gets to go to the kids choir?
• 8:55
  So there is an audition and there's a rabbi sitting there
• 8:58
  and people come in, the kids come in, they sing, they sing a
• 9:01
  song. And there's Rabbi Mandel has
• 9:02
  told me, go, go. I wasn't gonna audition because
• 9:05
  my father didn't have another big shoe.
• 9:08
  He had a small shoe. My, my father just chilled his
• 9:10
  way. So I, I wasn't gonna audition.
• 9:14
  And he told me go, go, audition. I said, all right, I don't know
• 9:17
  if I'm going to make it on, if my father's going to let me go,
• 9:20
  but sure. And I stand and I come into the
• 9:22
  room and he says, sing a song. I remember I sang go a day, I'll
• 9:25
  shine, you know, this Glenna song.
• 9:28
  And that's what I did. He might make his notes.
• 9:30
  And I like one, one of the kids. I don't think there was
• 9:33
  anything, but I got into the room and then more things came
• 9:37
  like there was ACM, all the kids I sang over there.
• 9:40
  The Urshalayama roof came to Monroe, so I was one of the
• 9:43
  solos. And then my sister got married.
• 9:46
  She became engaged. She was 18, I was 17.
• 9:49
  My grandfather tells me I want you to sing at the house.
• 9:53
  And I was a Booker in yeshiva. And he was, he was proud of me.
• 9:58
  And he told me I'm gonna sing. I told him I don't know if I'm
• 10:00
  comfortable doing the whole wedding by myself.
• 10:02
  I. Think at that point you're never
• 10:03
  saying in front of a big crowd. I have I but not professionally
• 10:06
  I did but the see him when we did the see him was like maybe
• 10:08
  500 people that the fathers and the grandfathers was a whole big
• 10:11
  thing. Get the test finishing 100 blot.
• 10:14
  It was a big CM and we had a so that was wow by the way, but.
• 10:17
  That we didn't do. 100 Blot and get the test.
• 10:22
  But I don't know if. We still did it, yet we still do
• 10:25
  it. But that's very.
• 10:27
  Cool, it's never too late to start to so.
• 10:28
  At the wedding you're giving now they're giving you the.
• 10:31
  Upper. No, but.
• 10:31
  But yeah, he wants me. But I told my grandfather I'm
• 10:33
  not going to take the whole wedding.
• 10:34
  This is way too big. But what I will do, I will sing
• 10:37
  a few songs. I will start, you know, feeling
• 10:39
  it out. So they hired the singer.
• 10:41
  His name was Shmilber Veber and he was doing, you know.
• 10:45
  Is he related to? The Betty Webber.
• 10:46
  Barry Webber. Daddy.
• 10:47
  Yeah, it was 2008. Beta, beta baby.
• 10:51
  OK, we know him as Barry well, he also says.
• 10:53
  Yeah, but it. Should be better anyway.
• 10:57
  So he was the official singer and you'll see idols was the
• 10:59
  music. And my grandfather said, you're
• 11:00
  going to sing a few songs in society.
• 11:02
  I need a mic, I need my own stuff.
• 11:04
  He says, you all right? How much is it going to cost?
• 11:06
  And he bought me a mic and I said society.
• 11:08
  But you know, if I'm going to do this, we need to go to voice
• 11:10
  lessons. No problem.
• 11:12
  I'm going to do voice lessons. I must say he believed in me.
• 11:15
  He said we'll do it. We'll do like this.
• 11:17
  I will pay for everything you need.
• 11:19
  We will pay for the voice lessons.
• 11:21
  Eventually. I needed a cordless mic because
• 11:23
  that was the cool thing. I didn't use it for five
• 11:25
  weddings and I I went back to the wire because it's just more
• 11:27
  powerful. It's better also with a cordless
• 11:30
  mic. With a wireless mic, they would
• 11:32
  call me into the crowd to dance with the Houston, and that's a
• 11:34
  lot of. Work a lot of pressure.
• 11:35
  If I have I have a wire. You got to stay in your spot.
• 11:39
  Don't. Call me, you'll have a wire till
• 11:40
  you're 100. Yeah, so, so, so it's very
• 11:43
  strategic, Very strategic. So he got me the wireless and
• 11:47
  then he got me with a wire. And then we printed business
• 11:49
  cards and I showed him the prototype and he says, but it
• 11:52
  only has your phone number. What if you're sleepy?
• 11:55
  You can't answer the phone. You put my #2 I will be the
• 11:58
  secondary. You put 2 numbers down.
• 12:00
  And he paid for everything. And he tells me all the income
• 12:03
  is 5050. We know the type by the way.
• 12:06
  Yeah, my grandfather. It was a great guy.
• 12:08
  It was a great. Guy so giving, but you gotta do
• 12:11
  it with me. That's right.
• 12:12
  Yeah, our friends, but we spoke before does that.
• 12:15
  He asked me if somebody Schneider comes and asked me how
• 12:18
  much should I give? And I say this guy give him
• 12:20
  $2000 and he says I'll give thousand and you give thousands.
• 12:23
  Exactly, exactly. You know, by the way, I've heard
• 12:26
  this story before. Where?
• 12:27
  Where did I hear? Have you said this story before?
• 12:29
  I don't know, it's my story. I always tell the.
• 12:31
  Truth. Yeah.
• 12:32
  This is his life. Story.
• 12:33
  I don't know, weird, but I feel like I've heard this from you.
• 12:35
  Maybe you said it somewhere. This story OK.
• 12:37
  Maybe I'm Yankov Langer. You were on a podcast a year ago
• 12:41
  or something? More than a year ago, before I
• 12:42
  started a podcast, Yes. Yeah.
• 12:44
  I must have heard it on a podcast.
• 12:46
  Maybe there? So go ahead, go ahead, continue.
• 12:48
  Not the way this is being. Told No, this is It's all
• 12:51
  different. Everybody has their own vibe and
• 12:52
  their own energy. Your grandfather said 50. 50
• 12:56
  come forever. Yes, we didn't decide.
• 12:59
  This is about how we're starting.
• 13:00
  He wants to see the contract already.
• 13:02
  And there was no contract. My grandfather was the sweetest
• 13:04
  guy. So I'm I'm a Bukharina Shiva.
• 13:09
  I'm not driving. Who's gonna I will drive you, he
• 13:11
  says. I will drive you to jobs.
• 13:12
  Yes. He's very supportive.
• 13:13
  This guy, yes, he was lucky you. I was lucky, OK.
• 13:17
  And so that's how I started the friend.
• 13:18
  Also, I did my sister's wedding. I did it 2 songs by the by the
• 13:22
  meal. So if you followed closely,
• 13:23
  which 2 songs did I sing? Let me hear.
• 13:25
  Was she? You don't remember.
• 13:27
  Put me on the spot like. That I did from Schlemmer
• 13:30
  Gitner, was she? You don't know it, you learn.
• 13:34
  It's a nice song. And then I did Omar Omar Rakodoj
• 13:36
  Baraku from Ofremo. I like that song.
• 13:38
  But these two songs I did and I later by the Hassana like but by
• 13:41
  the finished I did some Yerushalayim song and I started
• 13:45
  going to voice lessons and I loved it.
• 13:47
  He gave me 100 bucks and I would go, the lesson was 70.
• 13:51
  The bus to take me there was like $5 and I went to buy myself
• 13:54
  something from Monsieur BBQ for like $20.
• 13:56
  It worked out every week Wednesday I would go.
• 13:59
  I was beautiful and until a friend of Vishy and Vishyva
• 14:04
  comes to me, it was a vision. It's a book.
• 14:05
  And by the vision it's a guys. They don't have much singers.
• 14:07
  They have music and they're not into it.
• 14:09
  And he's before getting married, he says we'll do it.
• 14:11
  I'll tell you. My father says that if you want
• 14:14
  to come sing, he doesn't want to pay, he doesn't have the money.
• 14:16
  But if you want, you can come sing.
• 14:18

  running late and I came into the car and my the first thing my
• 14:35
  grandfather said, he says if you're going to be in this
• 14:37
  business you should remember that being on time is very
• 14:40
  important you. Can't start the wedding without
• 14:42
  the singer. That's.
• 14:43
  True. You got to make sure you're
• 14:44
  responsible. Yes, yes, On the Mystic
• 14:46
  condition you also can't start. And the Mystic conditions don't
• 14:50
  have so much responsibilities as the singers.
• 14:52
  I mean, I see that as customers, I always be on time and they're
• 14:56
  always running an hour late because the this and this and
• 14:58
  you can't, right? The and the.
• 14:59
  Rabbis, the people, whatever. So I'm the singer, they can have
• 15:02
  time as, but the rabbis the. Well, they're not paying the
• 15:05
  rabbis. All they're paying the rabbis.
• 15:08
  Really. Of course they're paying the
• 15:09
  rabbi. I don't know about that of.
• 15:11
  Course. I agree, You had Mazel say.
• 15:13
  I don't know which mazes, but any rabbish name.
• 15:15
  You have any title bomber, Rabanovic, and they will tell
• 15:19
  you that rebels get paid when they make hassle.
• 15:21
  They have a cent. Fee or people just give a
• 15:22
  donation. People give however they much
• 15:24
  they can but the rebels if they would have two weddings, 2 of
• 15:27
  their constituents making hassle and he can only go.
• 15:30
  To go to the one that pays them. So fake, OK, And it's not for
• 15:33
  them. There's nothing wrong with that.
• 15:34
  But no, it's nothing wrong with them.
• 15:36
  I'm I'm not saying. That the rocket.
• 15:37
  Rebels have to make a living, yeah. 100% but Thomas you can
• 15:41
  have on a singer because it's a Gashmi thing, but they're ever
• 15:43
  doing avoid the Saccoiders. But many times I'm always on
• 15:46
  time. I have to leave my children.
• 15:48
  I can't be with them. I gotta run because the Hoopa
• 15:50
  7:00 and the Hoopa doesn't start until 8:15.
• 15:53
  So I'm just sitting there. So I'm just thinking about it
• 15:55
  anyway, so they they all get paid and they should get paid.
• 15:58
  So he tells me you got to be on time.
• 16:00
  So we go to the house and the house and is an atheist Chadna
• 16:03
  and we're going down the road and I'm not really sure what
• 16:06
  there's China is we got to make a left on the 45 where we got to
• 16:09
  make a left on Viola. You know I'm coming down.
• 16:12
  Where are you living at the time?
• 16:13
  I live in Monroe. Oh, so you're not familiar with
• 16:15
  Monsoon? Not really.
• 16:16
  OK, yeah. So I'm coming down from from
• 16:19
  Airmont. What's that main road?
• 16:20
  Maybe not. 59 No. Not 59.
• 16:23
  Close New Hampstead. Road.
• 16:24
  No, no, no, not New Hampstead. I crossed over to Crossover.
• 16:27
  Viola. What's that one?
• 16:29
  Maybe College Rd. Maybe College Rd.
• 16:31
  Maybe College. Yeah, I'm going down college and
• 16:33
  I know I gotta go straight down and make a left either on the 45
• 16:37
  which is the right one and I made a mistake.
• 16:39
  I went, I told my grandfather make a leftover here.
• 16:42
  So we were a little bit off until we found Sean.
• 16:45
  I thought that was also took time.
• 16:46
  You don't have like Waze or something?
• 16:48
  I didn't have no, we didn't have any smartphone.
• 16:50
  I was a book that I had no how many.
• 16:52
  Years ago was this. This wasn't 2000, and what's a
• 16:56
  good question 2000? And how many years ago
• 16:58
  approximately? That's a good question.
• 17:00
  You were 17 at the time. 15 years ago, I was.
• 17:02
  I was. I was 18.
• 17:03
  You were 18. OK, Yeah, back that was MapQuest
• 17:06
  days. Exactly.
• 17:07
  That's what you picked out, a MapQuest paper that kids that
• 17:10
  have no idea what that means. Yeah, but we had to actually put
• 17:13
  in work to get from point A to point.
• 17:15
  Or you. You're we have to plan it out.
• 17:17
  We have to map it out in advance.
• 17:19
  And you had to always have the risk of you were gonna get lost.
• 17:22
  Yeah, they got prepared for that.
• 17:23
  And you have to get out of your car, go to ask someone for like
• 17:26
  the locals to see if they could guide you.
• 17:28
  And a lot of times they gave you the wrong direction and you got
• 17:30
  even more lost. And that was an adventure.
• 17:32
  Or you could be a real man like Shmili is right now in his car
• 17:34
  and he he knows how to get. He doesn't need a.
• 17:37
  And make a mistake, but that's go ahead.
• 17:39
  Our kids will never know. They will never know.
• 17:42
  So it was 2010. It was no, no, no way.
• 17:44
  So. You're panicking because this is
• 17:46
  your first. Game little panicking.
• 17:47
  Yeah, yes, definitely. I'm getting to the hall and why
• 17:50
  do you know I had prepared a a paper with all the songs that
• 17:54
  you know the start or you show me what do you do next?
• 17:57
  So and I I I forgot my paper at home.
• 17:59
  Oh no, I'm a little tough and so I'm going and I'm setting up my
• 18:03
  microphone. Mandy Steckel.
• 18:05
  You know Mandy Steckel, he's a one man band.
• 18:06
  He's the musician there. He was very nice.
• 18:09
  He just took it easy. It was like a Takuna Castle, so
• 18:12
  he didn't take it too serious. He didn't need to know the
• 18:14
  latest stuff. He's just playing.
• 18:16
  Aww Watch Smudu. Don't go.
• 18:17
  Very nice. Yeah, go and put a number one.
• 18:20
  Do whatever you do I. Was thinking that I'm hearing it
• 18:22
  now for the first time. You went to a Takano wedding to
• 18:25
  be at your first gig. It made sense.
• 18:26
  Come sing, come try. Right now it's making sense.
• 18:29
  Yeah, the guy told him at the beginning he wasn't going to
• 18:31
  pay. Yeah.
• 18:31
  I get it, there's. Almost like a charity that you
• 18:33
  were doing right. You used it as an opportunity to
• 18:36
  feel it. Out for sure yeah of course you
• 18:39
  want to put put in the mileage to start and and my friends were
• 18:43
  there right because this is a friend's wedding so the all the
• 18:45
  friends from yeshiva gonna sing they only use.
• 18:48
  This. You must have been very nervous.
• 18:50
  I was, but I had to think. I was excited.
• 18:52
  Excited is a better word. Yeah.
• 18:53
  Ovga heighted right. And the and that even now before
• 18:57
  a concert, I have that, but as soon as I start singing, that
• 19:01
  goes away. But it's like the build of the
• 19:03
  excitement. Right.
• 19:04
  Once you start with the first few minutes, yeah, naturally,
• 19:07
  yeah, your body takes over and you just do your thing.
• 19:10
  Yes, I lose myself in it and I'm just enjoying it.
• 19:12
  So my friends are there, they're all looking, they're excited,
• 19:14
  and I don't have my list. And I start singing and it's
• 19:16
  another lesson. So this is a vision, it's a
• 19:18
  house. And now the corners, you know,
• 19:20
  simple people. And I start singing.
• 19:22
  I did Loyolajo Ham Loholi from MBD.
• 19:27
  You don't know any song. By the way, I know MBD well.
• 19:31
  I know the song I just like I'm. You're just right, it's not
• 19:34
  important. Yeah, I'm not a musical person.
• 19:36
  Like I'm not very into Michael is a surprise.
• 19:39
  Michael, you're like, you're like.
• 19:41
  One for seven so far. I'm keeping track of having his
• 19:43
  songs. You know, if I'm not impressed,
• 19:46
  if I were to stop him to every song that I liked, that I want
• 19:48
  him to sing, we'd be here all day, OK, I know the songs.
• 19:50
  But you're into music even more than me.
• 19:53
  Like you listen to music all that.
• 19:54
  I don't listen to music. He's very.
• 19:55
  It's work, I will vouch for that.
• 19:57
  My wife also there's people who I.
• 19:58
  Work on playlists. I have people part of that.
• 20:02
  So you're into it, So it's your thing.
• 20:03
  Very nice. Anyway, so I finished that set
• 20:06
  and I had a market chief come over to me.
• 20:08
  Another lesson that I always remember.
• 20:10
  Then he says should do that. And I wanna say how he said it,
• 20:14
  but he says one of the important things when you're gonna start
• 20:16
  singing is not just how to sing, but what to sing.
• 20:21
  He says, look at the audience over here.
• 20:23
  They don't know the song. They don't care for it.
• 20:25
  And some of them are even like, feeling bitter, like, who's this
• 20:28
  guy singing? Know your audience.
• 20:30
  Exactly. Know your surroundings, be aware
• 20:34
  what's happening. So I learned that anyway, the
• 20:36
  Hassana comes around and the Hassan comes in and we start
• 20:38
  audience. Shuma and I had a friend, Vine
• 20:42
  begin. Vine begin.
• 20:42
  He quickly wrote down 1520s songs here by Sochiato Melek
• 20:47
  Malcolm Lochem Lavini Malkini here just in case have it.
• 20:50
  It was very nice of him and I did the whole wedding and and
• 20:53
  Mara Shiva was there at ham Libish Schlotenberg and he has
• 20:56
  his own avoided when some Goya songs come start singing he he
• 21:00
  comes to the singer and he says stop singing this song.
• 21:03
  It makes like a Simcha, Swiss and Callum.
• 21:05
  Libish Rotenberg. Ham Libish was your I was in
• 21:08
  easy, but this is his yeshiva forshe wrote forshe this is the.
• 21:11
  Issue, you know, that's where I grew up.
• 21:12
  I grew up in Forshe, I went to his stroll for many, many many.
• 21:15
  So maybe you remember I had a close relationship with him for
• 21:18
  a long time. OK.
• 21:19
  And like you just triggered something for me, like
• 21:22
  especially that you just said that he has a thing against
• 21:24
  he's. So I know exactly what you mean.
• 21:26
  I know how it's against. He has an avoid though, yeah.
• 21:28
  His whole demeanor changes and he starts, he has a, he's a very
• 21:31
  charismatic. Person.
• 21:32
  I love him. I have a lot of accordance.
• 21:33
  Tremendous character. This guy, personality wise, he
• 21:35
  gets a 10 out of 10. This guy, he's amazing, He
• 21:38
  really is. And he knows how to put up a
• 21:40
  show. He knows how to cater to the
• 21:43
  audience and when like things don't go in a way that he
• 21:46
  doesn't like, doesn't appreciate, he makes a scene
• 21:49
  about it. But a very classy.
• 21:50
  Yeah, he mixes it up. Classy way he gets his message
• 21:53
  across. Yes, he does.
• 21:55
  Yeah, yeah. So the record I've been to the
• 21:57
  Apple throwing have you on. I highly recommend every person.
• 22:01
  He's got an he's that guy. Yeah, he's got an arm.
• 22:04
  Yeah. And he goes like this.
• 22:05
  That's how we think about it. He gets that he he puts a
• 22:08
  velocity. He has some serious court behind
• 22:10
  his throws. It's amazing.
• 22:12
  He has energy, he dances, He puts a real avoider into it.
• 22:15
  Yeah, yeah. So he's coming.
• 22:16
  The Rev is coming. The hushness from this yeshiva
• 22:19
  and I'm also like making sure that I know his songs, what he
• 22:22
  likes and and I guess I did one thing that he didn't manage like
• 22:25
  and it wasn't massive just anyway.
• 22:28
  And I started after that house and I remember I started running
• 22:30
  after Mandy Shteckel. Give me the recording.
• 22:32
  I need the recording. I want to listen to the
• 22:34
  recording even probably more than the Houston.
• 22:36
  You want to hear how it sounds, how you say?
• 22:38
  It yeah, how how it came out. I want that validation.
• 22:41
  I wanted to that I suck or is I awesome?
• 22:43
  Yeah, exactly. Because I really didn't know
• 22:46
  you, you, you would think, now I finished the wedding, I know it
• 22:48
  was a 10, it was 100. I know already.
• 22:50
  The audience wouldn't know because they don't see me every
• 22:53
  night, but I would know to compare it.
• 22:55
  It was a great night. It was a fantastic night.
• 22:57
  So. But at that time, I didn't even
• 22:59
  know. I didn't know nothing.
• 23:02
  I just wanted to hear the recording and he came to the
• 23:04
  yeshiva and 33 for she dropped me off the CD and I ran I put it
• 23:08
  into my CD player and I start listening to it and and either
• 23:12
  should I say so much about it's give on following.
• 23:16
  I just. How do we say that in in
• 23:17
  English? How would you say so you.
• 23:18
  I don't know. The roof came down.
• 23:21
  It's like, oh, there's a real way.
• 23:23
  Devastation, you're saying? Yeah.
• 23:24
  Devastation. Yeah, I was devastated.
• 23:26
  I'm not going to say the real expression.
• 23:28
  You know I can, and translation is it became black for my eye,
• 23:32
  Right, right, right. Everything turned dark and I'm
• 23:35
  listening and I don't even know what the problem is.
• 23:38
  But what I do know is this is no good.
• 23:41
  And and and and I listen. I listen, I say, oh, it's good.
• 23:44
  Oh, it's something what happens? What happens?
• 23:46
  Anyway, the problem was pitch. Pitch is not off tune
• 23:50
  completely. Let me try to make like if I
• 23:53
  think, oh, it did show my view. What are you here you doing?
• 23:58
  I'm just changing keys. So this is like off tune, I
• 24:02
  would say. But if you think, oh, you're in
• 24:11
  tune, but your pitch either a little bit sharp or a little bit
• 24:14
  flat, and the music, yeah, it's not consistent.
• 24:18
  It's not solid. And the music is so loud in
• 24:22
  these by the weddings that you can barely hear yourself.
• 24:25
  I didn't have a inner monitor then.
• 24:27
  I maybe had a monitor on the floor and I couldn't hear
• 24:31
  myself. And I was just, it's what's
• 24:32
  called pitchy, not being in perfect pitch.
• 24:36
  And nobody can teach you perfect pitch.
• 24:38
  I, I'm both of Hashem way better in pitch now, unless the music
• 24:42
  is very loud, then I can lose it.
• 24:44
  But by the meal and by the hope I will always be in perfect
• 24:46
  pitch. Because you just, you hear
• 24:47
  yourself. If you're a good singer, you can
• 24:49
  sing, but if you can't hear, you can't do anything.
• 24:52
  But what I did learn is experience, you know, like train
• 24:55
  my ear what to hear. That's it.
• 24:58
  And, and being on the weddings and, and doing it night after
• 25:01
  night after night, I, I figured out my balance and my placement
• 25:04
  can. You do it again, then do the
• 25:06
  audition right now in a good. Pitch off and good pitch.
• 25:07
  Yeah, sure. Like sing for me.
• 25:10
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Perform for me.
• 25:11
  Yeah, you know. Yeah.
• 25:15
  Like. Like.
• 25:17
  It's a puppet. You got a bill in the mail?
• 25:22
  Yeah. Stink, damn it, this would be
• 25:24
  good. Off pitch would be Kyoto.
• 25:27
  He may like Malhi Ham Lo he Did you hear the difference?
• 25:34
  Yes, it's 90% of us sound like that by the way, yes, so don't
• 25:38
  don't talk down to us. We're we're also we bring we
• 25:41
  bring other values in life. OK, we're not all of us just
• 25:44
  because we Can't Sing our rendered worth 100.
• 25:46
  Percent 100% yeah, 100. Percent.
• 25:47
  But by the way, I always admired people that can sing.
• 25:49
  I really do. I think it's a really beautiful
• 25:51
  gift. It's a beautiful.
• 25:54
  He would give up all his Toyota to be able to sing.
• 25:56
  Did he say that? I think so.
• 25:58
  That's what I do my research. It's a good line.
• 26:02
  I think Lipa has one of the songs, some sorry for song that
• 26:05
  he said he would he would like trade a big part of his Olam
• 26:08
  Haba or whatever. The point is, yeah, singing is.
• 26:11
  Definitely one of my favorite things to watch.
• 26:13
  I I watched like any spare time that I have.
• 26:15
  If I'm just browsing, like if I'm just like searching stuff, I
• 26:18
  watch voice singing competitions.
• 26:20
  Oh yeah, I love singing competitions.
• 26:22
  And I'll say this, I think the best one that is by far superior
• 26:27
  to anything else for many, many years already is a show called
• 26:31
  The Voice, The Voice. Obviously you're going to say.
• 26:33
  Because you have on The Voice really like somewhat
• 26:35
  professional singers, like there are other wedding caliber
• 26:37
  singers and they're competing against each other.
• 26:40
  So they're already starting that at A at a good place.
• 26:42
  And the, it's just, it's on another level.
• 26:45
  And especially the battles, they have something where they pin
• 26:48
  two against each other and Iran and they they don't do it in a
• 26:51
  battle way that they're out doing each other.
• 26:52
  They actually try to get them to blend in and to synchronize and
• 26:55
  sync together. And it's it's it's breathtaking.
• 26:57
  Yeah. Oh, should you watch?
• 26:58
  Like, it's unbelievable. Like from like other countries?
• 27:01
  Yes, of course, of course. I watch them all, all kinds of,
• 27:04
  you know, the. Beauty, you know, so popular
• 27:06
  that a lot of the. Beauty is that for those that
• 27:08
  don't know, you don't see the. Person, that's what I was going
• 27:10
  to say this. Is only the first round that's.
• 27:12
  Only that's the thing you saw, right?
• 27:13
  Yeah. Yeah, Because we all don't.
• 27:15
  Want to judge you by? Of course, we always judge by a
• 27:17
  bit. We can't help ourselves.
• 27:19
  Right. We just can't.
• 27:20
  Yeah, A lot of times we see the singer and like, when the judge
• 27:22
  turns around, we see their reaction.
• 27:24
  You already know he's not. He's.
• 27:26
  They're going to be surprised when they see.
• 27:27
  So much there. Yeah, no, it's a great.
• 27:29
  So singing is a universal language.
• 27:32
  It's something that every human being can relate to, no matter
• 27:34
  your background, no matter where you come from.
• 27:37
  And if you could sing or be even musical, even not singing,
• 27:39
  playing an instrument, playing a musical, It's it's it's really
• 27:43
  what percentage of the world do you have people do you think
• 27:46
  play an instrument? Is it 10%?
• 27:49
  Steph, I'd love to know what is the percentage of people in the
• 27:54
  world that can play a music? Of 8 billion people, I would say
• 27:57
  I would, I don't know, maybe 500,000,500 million.
• 28:00
  Very small percentage. It's a small Is it 10% less?
• 28:03
  Is it 500,000,000% crazy? I would say 10%.
• 28:05
  We'll see what happened. Yeah, 8%.
• 28:07
  How many weddings have you sang to date so far?
• 28:10
  You know, I would say, did you? Lose count already or is it?
• 28:12
  I never counted, but I remember in my room I had a list of all
• 28:17
  the wedding halls and I would cross them out.
• 28:19
  I sort of called paradise. I did.
• 28:21
  It's like the ballpark, you know, people that ballpark.
• 28:24
  I went to this game, I saw this thing.
• 28:26
  That's it. You're doing that for wedding
• 28:27
  holes. And my sister said no, You're
• 28:28
  gonna bring in a big map of the world and you're gonna start
• 28:31
  scratching off Israel, Manchester, Britain, Toronto.
• 28:35
  Smart lady. Yeah, she is.
• 28:37
  So what's next, 10 to 20%? Ten.
• 28:39
  People worldwide and about have played an instrument 30 to. 40%
• 28:43
  of the United States. Yeah, that's pretty crazy.
• 28:45
  That's that's a bigger number than we thought.
• 28:46
  Yeah, number. Than we thought.
• 28:47
  More than we thought. Yeah, yeah.
• 28:49
  Interesting. But even though I did maybe
• 28:50
  between 500 and 1500 weddings, that's a big gap.
• 28:54
  You mean? Yeah, between 500 and 1500.
• 28:57
  Very big gap also, but even if it's 500 alone, it's a big
• 29:00
  number. What was like the nicest,
• 29:02
  biggest wedding like you did like?
• 29:04
  So people ask me that when what's the biggest wedding?
• 29:06
  So what do you consider big? A big paycheck?
• 29:07
  A big band? Big.
• 29:08
  Song list Who paid you the most? How much did you?
• 29:10
  Make so the big the most I make is when I travel if it's out of
• 29:13
  town that's I make a lot of money you.
• 29:15
  Got a couple of your travel expenses?
• 29:16
  Travel and also there's rehearsals, so the rehearsals.
• 29:18
  So I would always come out with a bigger paycheck when I have to
• 29:21
  travel and if it's a nicer more than a wedding it would be a
• 29:23
  concert or something like that. What is the rate these days for
• 29:27
  Jewish wedding singers? It's all kinds.
• 29:29
  When I started out, I did for free.
• 29:31
  After that wedding, the Mahitan came over and gave me $200.00
• 29:35
  and then the other Mahitan came over and gave me $50.
• 29:37
  You talk about this the first. One First Division is a Hassan.
• 29:39
  Yeah, a little bit. On the way home.
• 29:41
  On the way home, my grandfather gave him 125.
• 29:43
  He's your partner? Yeah.
• 29:44
  I have to finish it off. I gave him 125.
• 29:46
  I told him his idea. I got a tip.
• 29:47
  It's one 25120 for me. He says, well, do it.
• 29:50
  My money you put away, you keep everything, but you make my
• 29:53
  envelope. Keep a husband.
• 29:54
  Exactly. And then when I got married, the
• 29:56
  money, it was like $6000. Wow.
• 29:58
  He's caught. And he told me I should go buy
• 30:00
  myself a strama. And my my father wasn't alive.
• 30:03
  I I didn't know if I tell you my father back away when I was 19.
• 30:05
  Yeah, it would have made more. Sense I already hear that.
• 30:07
  Yeah, yeah, we were over it. But you know, every day I miss
• 30:10
  him, I should say, the more time that goes.
• 30:12
  On you made a song about him. I want to.
• 30:14
  I've tried like a few times. I have a song from H Weinbiger.
• 30:17
  I always wanted to do it for the Utah.
• 30:19
  This is going to be the 20th Utah.
• 30:21
  So I'm thinking maybe this year is more monumental.
• 30:23
  So I'll, I'll release it, I would think.
• 30:26
  So when is the arts? Yeah, that's a great way to.
• 30:27
  Design Eid, Zach Eid. And how long is that?
• 30:30
  Two months it's a sphera so you you have to like bond it.
• 30:32
  Off and in the next I. Could.
• 30:33
  If I really would want to, I could, but it's not so much a
• 30:37
  priority. It would be more ceremonial.
• 30:40
  It wouldn't be so much for business.
• 30:41
  I'm working on on like a backstage on stage project.
• 30:44
  I'm working on other stuff. So I would have to push it in.
• 30:48
  I released a nice video. I was going to get Zaltz Band.
• 30:51
  Very cool stuff. Yeah, he's good.
• 30:53
  Schlemmy's Altz Money has a good sound, very good sound.
• 30:56
  So I gave my grandfather. He says keep it.
• 30:59
  And then I bought myself a Stramo.
• 31:00
  So what was it gonna? $1000 Shrimal.
• 31:03
  I'm just. Yeah.
• 31:05
  That's how much shrimals cost. Very expensive.
• 31:07
  Money. Like a wig?
• 31:08
  Yes, more than a. Wig more they can pay 8 they can
• 31:10
  pay up to $15,000 which I can go also.
• 31:12
  Crazier, by the way, but yeah. But that's no but.
• 31:14
  The average Shrimal is like three, $4000 just yeah, like
• 31:17
  what's it? Yeah.
• 31:18
  I'm sorry, I really don't know what.
• 31:20
  What kind of fur? Yeah, I don't know.
• 31:22
  From you guys know OK I don't know for six grand I'm.
• 31:25
  Curious, you know, like if I'm buying Bitcoin, I want to know
• 31:28
  what I'm getting. Yeah, we have a Reagan Strammel
• 31:33
  always. This is going on forever, but
• 31:35
  the Reagan Strammel can cost 2500.
• 31:36
  It's not so expensive, but for $6000 two Strammel, if it's not
• 31:39
  over, it's like a decent amount. I don't think I bought the
• 31:42
  Strammel. I think I had a guy.
• 31:43
  Who sang at your wedding? His name is Sally Gold.
• 31:47
  Great question. Is he still?
• 31:48
  Is he still around this guy? Yeah, he's a Hasidicia singer.
• 31:51
  How did he make it to your wedding?
• 31:53
  That's it. Because it came to my wedding, I
• 31:54
  had a problem. Who am I going to take?
• 31:57
  I was, I was like, I don't know how how prominent I was, but
• 32:00
  everybody knew which Milly anger is.
• 32:02
  The locals knew who you were. Yeah, the business knew, the
• 32:04
  locals knew and and whoever I was going to take, I was going
• 32:07
  to be hurting somebody. So Sally Gold was a very good
• 32:10
  option for me because he was a veteran and he was good at it.
• 32:14
  He was a good friend of mine. He just fit and I booked him and
• 32:17
  I had a lot of singers come over.
• 32:19
  I had a lot of say, Adala Summer that you only see.
• 32:21
  I have to remember Benny Friedman, but he was the
• 32:24
  official guy. I know he is going to start ID
• 32:26
  Shuma and when he's going to even Every wedding needs to have
• 32:30
  one guy that is carrying the wedding and has a
• 32:32
  responsibility. He's the primary singer.
• 32:34
  Yes, I I can't tell a guy. Yeah, I have 5 singers there and
• 32:38
  nobody's taking charge. Everybody's waiting for the
• 32:39
  other to do it. Exactly.
• 32:41
  So you have to have one guy anyway, So I want to go back.
• 32:43
  So you're asking about prices. So by that wedding, I went for
• 32:45
  free. I got 250.
• 32:46
  And then I started going for for the corner house.
• 32:50
  They paid me $300 and I would make my money back overtime.
• 32:53
  After 11:00 it would be another $100.00.
• 32:55
  So that's where I would feel I made my money.
• 32:57
  I said because all the weddings would go past 11, so it would be
• 33:00
  $400.00. And then the different Takuna
• 33:02
  host was 450 depending. And my grandfather, he was a
• 33:07
  partner and he told me Shmurduvid nimbus Mcgither.
• 33:10
  His philosophy was don't sit at home, take jobs, take jobs.
• 33:14
  You get an offer for $200. Go go, sing, don't.
• 33:16
  Worry about how much money you just first get users, get
• 33:19
  followers. Yeah.
• 33:20
  Start building your brand. Yeah.
• 33:21
  Smart guy, your grandfather. Yeah, Yeah.
• 33:23
  You like it? Yeah, but at this.
• 33:25
  Is he still alive? No, he passed away a few years
• 33:27
  ago. But he got to see you in your
• 33:30
  prime, right? He got to really enjoy the
• 33:32
  successes that you were enjoying.
• 33:34
  He got to see a bit. He must have felt very proud.
• 33:37
  He must have been super practice.
• 33:38
  He was a part of your journey from the beginning.
• 33:39
  And he believed in me and all the other cousins to someone and
• 33:42
  what? 1 was a chef, one was a drummer,
• 33:44
  and nobody felt like Zaja didn't give me any startup money.
• 33:47
  Why? Why was he better?
• 33:48
  So yeah, he definitely gave me so.
• 33:50
  He created some politics also. Good old, you know.
• 33:52
  Talk to Zaid. You talk to Zaid.
• 33:54
  Well, I didn't do anything. Probably also picked up on your
• 33:56
  talent. Yes, ultimately.
• 33:57
  And yeah, this is a big part. He wanted to be, he saw the
• 34:00
  talent. And also my father wasn't alive.
• 34:02
  My father was his oldest. And it was a kind of a way, you
• 34:05
  know, he took me in and he he he raised me kind of interesting.
• 34:09
  But at the point when he said Nembus Mcgitte, like whatever
• 34:12
  take it was already maybe a year or two, then I, I, I, I, I felt
• 34:16
  I put in a lot of work in these Takuna houses.
• 34:19
  And I said I felt, I told him Zaidi 450, this is the bottom.
• 34:23
  I can't do a wedding. I can't do I'm not going out of
• 34:25
  my house less than 450. And and that's what I said no,
• 34:29
  but you said you love my Zaidi. But I think that my way you by
• 34:33
  the way is the better way. He's the better standard.
• 34:35
  Yes, yes, it happens to everyone, but it happens to
• 34:38
  everyone. So and so we had.
• 34:39
  By the way, the old adage, if you're good at something, never
• 34:43
  do it for free, right? Never do it for free.
• 34:46
  That it's it's you're right. This is your talent.
• 34:48
  Don't just give it away. You have a minimum.
• 34:51
  You want me to get out of bed? You.
• 34:52
  Want me to work? For you, this is what I charged
• 34:55
  I'm. Curious, was was it at that
• 34:56
  point that you knew it's going to be a career or?
• 34:59
  Oh, I want to say HELL no, but a big no Wow.
• 35:03
  Not yellow. Continue.
• 35:04
  I I did like 4 years where I was just the spine blit.
• 35:09
  I was spitting blocks. You were.
• 35:11
  You were sweating it out. Really.
• 35:12
  Really, I did. I didn't have these fancy bands
• 35:14
  I had. I had the the, the the the
• 35:16
  cheapest musicians. All of them are great.
• 35:19
  Good people. How are you getting income
• 35:21
  besides this? Then you I didn't need income.
• 35:22
  I was a Bucher. I was a book and I didn't do it
• 35:25
  for the income. I did it for the fun.
• 35:26
  I I love to do it and I just, I started talking.
• 35:29
  He was. Going to get it at that age of
• 35:31
  course makes. Sense.
• 35:32
  Yeah. So I I had no idea.
• 35:33
  That it instead of washing cars for $100, he's singing again.
• 35:37
  Exactly so 450 gig. Other than that, yeah.
• 35:39
  So I started 450, then it got to 455750 and then it got to 11.
• 35:45
  And then when I went from 11 to 14, that's when a big change
• 35:48
  happened. I had my, my, my then producer,
• 35:51
  my musical producer, Nafalishness, that he came into
• 35:53
  my life and, and he told me to up the price.
• 35:57
  And he's, he, he, he was a big producer.
• 35:59
  So just being in his avid, in his space atmosphere, yeah, gave
• 36:04
  me courage, gave me confidence, just just made me feel good.
• 36:08
  And he started telling me Shmelly.
• 36:10
  Oh, that's when I changed my name.
• 36:11
  I was named Shmell Dovit and I, I wasn't then it was maybe a
• 36:15
  little bit earlier that I made it.
• 36:16
  Oh, when I made the business cards, maybe I, I wrote
• 36:18
  Schmilly. I wrote Schmilly, but I felt
• 36:21
  Schmill Duva Dungar is very lavish.
• 36:23
  Very, I didn't like it. Even Schmilly Ungar I didn't
• 36:25
  like. I thought that if only my name
• 36:27
  was Mahal Schnitzler. It's like a name, everybody.
• 36:29
  It's good. It's a singer or Lipa
• 36:31
  Schmeltzer. Oh my God, Schmilly Ungar is
• 36:33
  like so foreign. It's like maybe schlomitzing.
• 36:36
  That's what I looked at it. All the names sound the same to
• 36:39
  me, but I hear what you're saying OK.
• 36:42
  So I changed my name. I also changed my hat.
• 36:43
  I used to wear a Stauffenhit. You know, the different hats the
• 36:46
  stock matter wear. Anyway, it's all the thing.
• 36:47
  You know about a Stauffenhit now?
• 36:49

• 36:52

• 37:45
  that because my wife is what they say.
• 37:48
  My wife married into the family, so she's not counted.
• 37:51
  These are direct descendants that came from you know what
• 37:54

• 37:57
  own. Like she had 19 children.
• 38:00

• 38:01
  little bit more. I think one or two passed away.

• 38:29
  entertainer. Yeah, like.

  Heiman used to be actor, maybe still acts just like.
• 38:47
  I'm going to. Act on plays.
• 38:49
  Yeah, yeah, Boston, I'll. Tell you one story.
• 38:52
  I think it's pretty interesting. One story, One of these 2000
• 38:55
  great grandchildren of hers wasn't a great.
• 38:57
  It was a great grand child. Very rarely saw his great
• 39:01
  grandmother like she. She had a lot of kids, a lot of
• 39:03
  grandkids. Like it's hard for her to keep
• 39:04
  track. And she was already older.
• 39:06
  So he was married. He was probably in his 20s.
• 39:09
  So he calls her on the phone one day and he says, hi, Bobby, how
• 39:13
  are you? She said, good, good.
• 39:14
  She says, do you know who this is?
• 39:16
  She says, of course. And he didn't say his name yet.
• 39:19
  And he didn't say his name. He says really, You know, it's
• 39:22
  just by my voice. I'll give you $1000 if you
• 39:24
  really know who I am because you couldn't believe it.
• 39:26
  There's no way she knows. I'd barely ever speak to her.
• 39:28
  And I, you know, she has so many.
• 39:29
  She's like Heim Schmiel. Bring that $1000 to me right
• 39:32
  now. She knew immediately who he was.
• 39:34
  And it's. It was a story in the family
• 39:36
  because he couldn't believe her memory.
• 39:38
  Yeah. And somebody that she barely
• 39:40
  ever sees and that she should know his name to, to the extent
• 39:43
  just from his voice. And by the way, she was a very
• 39:46
  charitable woman. Like, she was always like busy
• 39:47
  with old people and as you can imagine, so like, you know, I
• 39:51
  assure you that money went to a very, very good 'cause but it
• 39:54
  was like she was a very, very impactful woman.
• 39:57
  She was. She was a great story.
• 39:59
  Yeah. Wow.
• 40:01
  Anyway, I digress. I'm sorry.
• 40:02
  No, no, I love, I always. Digress.
• 40:04
  You don't digress anything, ever.
• 40:06
  Boring. Yeah, It's all good.
• 40:08
  Thank you, Michael. Thank you.
• 40:10
  So we're I don't know what it was you're.
• 40:12
  Like you're singing how much money you?
• 40:13
  Earning. So we're up the price, we change
• 40:14
  the name, we change the hair, they're stuffing it so.
• 40:16
  You're starting to recognize that it's becoming a career.
• 40:18
  That's what's happening. Yeah, I guess realizing.
• 40:21
  OK, I can actually make money out.
• 40:22
  Of this and at that point the new business cards, I didn't
• 40:24
  ask. Films right now.
• 40:25
  Right now you're just. Singing it, yeah, I'm just like
• 40:26
  karaoke singer. Yeah.
• 40:28
  Even you're asking before if I thought it's going to be a
• 40:30
  career at that point, people would come and go over knee
• 40:33
  Shimili Vemasta album when you're putting out an album and
• 40:36
  I felt like there like condescending is the word.
• 40:39
  I felt like they're making quizzic of me, like they're
• 40:42
  teasing me like come on, just be nice.
• 40:44
  I think at a wedding. Why?
• 40:46
  That's what I think I I I because I I thought I'm going to
• 40:49
  be like like maybe Sally Gold. Sally Gold hadn't released an
• 40:51
  album for he sang for 15 years. It didn't.
• 40:53
  Really. But he had a successful career
• 40:54
  as a. Yeah, as a wedding singer,
• 40:56
  what's wrong with that? And I felt like if I'm going to
• 40:58
  do an album that's only for a studio artist, I'm a karaoke
• 41:01
  Hostana singer. When you come to ask me this
• 41:03
  question, you just want to like. You're mocking me.
• 41:05
  Yeah, that's what I felt. It was crazy.
• 41:08
  Anyway, I'm gonna venture to say that most people weren't mocking
• 41:11
  you, they were actually complimenting.
• 41:12
  I know. I know, so interesting.
• 41:14
  That the way how I felt, the message I felt.
• 41:16
  So interesting. All about how you hear things.
• 41:17
  Yeah. It's all about how you perceive
• 41:19
  things, yeah. What messages you get and.
• 41:21
  It's difficult for people who are saying it to even know this,
• 41:23
  right, because they're giving you a compliment in their mind,
• 41:25
  right? And it's it's just amazing.
• 41:26
  I mean, we can go down that anxiety Rd. forever.
• 41:29
  But yeah, continue. I'm I'm interested.
• 41:31
  In this we went from 1100 to 1300, Yeah.
• 41:34
  And then this naftalishness told me go to. 1413 is not such a
• 41:37
  good number. Go to 14 because he said when a
• 41:39
  person hears 13 it's like more than 1000, but when a person has
• 41:43
  14, it's not. 1500, not 15. It's under 1500.
• 41:46
  It's like $0.99. Yeah, something like that.
• 41:48
  Very interesting. Yes, I went to 1400 and that was
• 41:51
  like a big move in the business. I remember getting a phone call
• 41:53
  from one of the fellow singers that will not mention any names.
• 41:56
  He's been doing it longer than me and he felt threatened that
• 42:01
  are you going up with the price? But who do you think you are?
• 42:04
  What are you doing? You know, I've been doing this
• 42:05
  very long and I've been going up very gradually, $50.00 and and
• 42:10
  blah, blah, blah. And I, I listened to him and I
• 42:12
  told him I, I said like, yeah, I'm also not planning on jumping
• 42:15
  up with the price. I'm also going to put in maybe
• 42:17
  another few months until I go to 1800.
• 42:20
  Like, like in a way, Like who are you to decide that it's $50
• 42:23
  every 12 months? Maybe it's $500 every.
• 42:25
  Six, I am worth whatever people are willing to pay.
• 42:28
  Exactly. That's what Natalie Schnitzer
• 42:29
  realized, yeah. Whatever.
• 42:30
  That's what you're worth. What did you set the market
• 42:32
  price based on? What people?
• 42:33
  Yeah, based on what people tell you the market exactly.
• 42:36
  I I can price myself out of business, the market will
• 42:38
  decide, right? But he felt threatened instead
• 42:41
  of like, feeling the feeling. These new guys, you open the
• 42:44
  prize, We're going to push up the prize.
• 42:46
  Let's do this. You could help the market.
• 42:47
  Yes, yeah. And not, not only is this, you
• 42:50
  asked before if I can make a living.
• 42:52
  So at this point in life, I'm divorced.
• 42:53
  I don't have much expenses. I'm working with this guy,
• 42:55
  Nafali Schnitzler. Currently he's working with
• 42:57
  Barry Weber, with the early Greenfeld, maybe with Lipa
• 43:01
  Schmeltzer. He's working with other guys and
• 43:03
  he's telling those guys for Barry Weber very.
• 43:05
  You're charging only $1200. You gotta go up to 18.
• 43:07
  You gotta push it. And Betty and Greenfield, they
• 43:10
  have families. They say I'm very happy this is
• 43:13
  what people are giving me. And the price for a wedding
• 43:15
  singer for many, many years was the price between 800 and $1500.
• 43:19
  That's what the number. Mahus Nistler was 18.
• 43:22
  It was a big deal. And maybe Schlemmy Dascal was
• 43:24
  25. He was the Medeira and a singer.
• 43:26
  Schmeltzer. Lipa Schmeltzer, Yeah.
• 43:28
  It was also the higher. End Yes, yes, it was a Yeah, it
• 43:31
  was the post now. Identifying is, then the higher
• 43:33
  end was 2500. Meaning yeah.
• 43:35
  The market has changed, which we'll talk about in a minute.
• 43:38
  Yeah, I'm going to get there. So, so I didn't have what to
• 43:43
  lose and I'm paying this Naftali Schnitzler for helping me.
• 43:47
  I figure if he's going to give me advice, I'm going to take it.
• 43:50
  And he told me to go to 14 and six months later I'm going to 18
• 43:53
  and the calendar is just booked, jam packed, I'm working every
• 43:56
  night. Every night, every night.
• 43:58
  So you work Sunday to Thursday? Yeah, OK, You know what?
• 44:00
  I was never the singlest thing. Tally Goldie would sing every
• 44:03
  night. It's really vedicious things.
• 44:04
  I mean, she better call. They sing every night.
• 44:06
  Even in my hottest, hottest times I was singing.
• 44:10
  I could do 3 or 4 weddings a night.
• 44:12
  On and on and on. That's a.
• 44:13
  That's a lot. Yeah, it's a lot of words.
• 44:15
  It doesn't take a toll on your voice.
• 44:16
  It did. It did, but like.
• 44:18
  Four or five hours also. Yeah, no, it's like 3 hours.
• 44:21
  But I take a lot of breaks. The musician takes solos and
• 44:25
  sometimes you have choirs or the choir takes away.
• 44:27
  Now I'm not singing five nights a week.
• 44:29
  I mean, it can happen in June if, if I would get book, I would
• 44:32
  do five nights, but it's not so often.
• 44:34
  If I do 2 weddings a week is average is nice.
• 44:36
  It's easy. The money is even more than I
• 44:38
  would do 5 weddings back then. So you know, I I have more time.
• 44:42
  It's a different ball game all together.
• 44:44
  But back then starting out and I'm going to 18 and to 25 and
• 44:47
  everybody, I was a member in the sheet of choir and I had my
• 44:51
  peers. How do you call it the people
• 44:53
  working with me? Colleagues.
• 44:54
  My colleagues, yes, And we were friends and, and I'm charging
• 44:58
  money for singing and then I'm working with them back in
• 45:01
  different singers. So it became a kind of a
• 45:03
  friction. They wanted to be my friend, but
• 45:05
  behind my back they were saying, who's this guy?
• 45:07
  Who did you think he is? Yeah, he's one day he's going to
• 45:11
  come like all these things. But in front of me, they're my
• 45:14
  friend. Yeah, but they want to be my
• 45:16
  friend. And it's good then.
• 45:18
  Politics ensued. This What do you know?
• 45:20
  This part, I'm going to admit, it was probably true.
• 45:22
  Like that's what was happening. Yeah, it wasn't.
• 45:25
  It wasn't perceived that way. This wasn't.
• 45:26
  Unfortunately, it was. This was the real life.
• 45:29
  Yeah, that's why they also comes out.
• 45:31
  And yeah, and they also wanted to figure out where they're
• 45:33
  standing and how they're feeling about it.
• 45:35
  And may become I also become a I just.
• 45:36
  Want to do you? Do you just want to?
• 45:38
  Love, I'm just, I'm, yeah, I'm spreading my wings and flying.
• 45:41
  That's, that's what I'm doing. And you know what I always tell
• 45:43
  people when I was doing this in 2013, 1415, I was, I was £350.
• 45:49
  I was, my Max was 405 lbs. I can show you a picture.
• 45:52
  I was £400. I was a big guy.
• 45:55
  I was divorced. I gained a lot of weight.
• 45:57
  I had a watch like a white watch, like a $10 watch, but it
• 46:00
  looked like yours didn't have a white watch.
• 46:02
  Thank you very much. It was like a boxy 1.
• 46:05
  And I liked it and I wore it. And I had a Dashik.
• 46:09
  You know what a Dashik is like? The Russian has like a like a
• 46:11
  head. Oh yes.
• 46:12
  Yes, yes, it's called a dashik. And I just did my thing and and
• 46:17
  there was so much space for people to say that this guy, I
• 46:22
  woke him up on stage. He can barely breathe and he has
• 46:24
  this watch. I can't look like if I, if
• 46:27
  nothing would have turned out of shmilly anger, they would say,
• 46:29
  yeah, you know, the guy was £500.
• 46:31
  What? What?
• 46:31
  What? What?
• 46:32
  What was he hanging right. And now that La Mansa I did, it
• 46:34
  did work out for me. People are saying, yeah, you
• 46:37
  know, he was this guy. He was this big guy.
• 46:39
  Now it's a good story. Not exactly, but.
• 46:41
  People they they make kids, however.
• 46:43
  Because you had the guts to put yourself out there.
• 46:45
  You know, I'm sure you had anxieties about it because, you
• 46:48
  know, you were divorced and people know you.
• 46:49
  So like, that's always got to be a little bit hard.
• 46:52
  Maybe I I didn't feel, I didn't feel so much anxiety.
• 46:55
  Especially that I see this your community, it makes do you feel
• 46:57
  probably a little bit like an outcast?
• 46:58
  Yeah, I had one friend, Velvet Feldman used to say like, like
• 47:01
  in like in like a voice. Shmilly, Shmilly, lose the
• 47:04
  watch, lose the watch, you know, like in that kind of sense.
• 47:08
  Gotta go. And I would tell him, Velvey,
• 47:10
  you're not there yet. You'll get there.
• 47:12
  Like like you're behind and this is the stuff that's happening.
• 47:16
  You're just behind. But after I went, I went with
• 47:19
  the how is it called in the water?
• 47:21
  That's jet ski and we fell in and the whole the.
• 47:24
  Watch was done it. Was gone and that was the end of
• 47:26
  the war. Yeah, the order.
• 47:29
  They claimed your watch. That's yes, yes.
• 47:31
  What are you charging right now? Like what's?
• 47:33
  Your average 12, the average, I don't know, The Jacinda have
• 47:37
  different prices and there's the the Sheba she singers have
• 47:40
  different prices. But you don't go less than what?
• 48:03
  What do you like 10? Grand 1010 a Bitcoin if if you
• 48:07
  pay me in Bitcoin, I'm serious. I hate when people start
• 48:10
  laughing because they don't take it.
• 48:11
  Seriously. No, I I love.
• 48:13
  It it's my issue. I'm giving this one day Bitcoin.
• 48:15
  If you not, yeah. If you pay me in Bitcoin I take
• 48:18
  11,000,000 sets and it can be sometimes even less than 10 the.
• 48:21
  Reason very smart for the record, the reason why I'm
• 48:23
  laughing is because I was waiting to talk about this
• 48:26
  that's why I'm. Laughing.
• 48:27
  I mentioned Bitcoin before. Yeah, that's why I was like, now
• 48:29
  we got it back, we're gonna football.
• 48:31
  Player Odell Beckham junior is OBJ and he took his salary.
• 48:36
  I forget which team it was that he was playing for in Bitcoin.
• 48:39
  He did, and at the time when Bitcoin wasn't as high as it is
• 48:42
  today. I need to hear this story.
• 48:44
  People, this is a very famous story.
• 48:46
  I'm saying if you read the news, you can see it.
• 48:48
  What? Like 2015, 2016, like years ago.
• 48:50
  Something like that. I don't know, it was 2015.
• 48:51
  It was a little later than that, probably 2018-2019, something
• 48:54
  like that. And he took his his salary in
• 48:57
  Bitcoin shares and people thought he was crazy at the time
• 49:00
  because he wasn't taking guaranteed money.
• 49:02
  So he and you know what? A legend.
• 49:04
  What a legend. And he posted about it very
• 49:07
  recently, like a year ago or. Something and he sold it.
• 49:09
  Yeah, no, I don't know if he sold it or not, but he posted
• 49:11
  how much is worth how much Bitcoin he had.
• 49:13
  He got in 2018 25 exactly Bitcoin and now the world.
• 49:17
  How much he earned so how much he got in Bitcoin?
• 49:19
  And I don't remember the numbers I'm stuff, could probably look
• 49:21
  it up. You can look it up, but LBJ,
• 49:23
  what was his name he's saying? Crazy amount and he made a lot
• 49:25
  of money, which was, you know, very smart. 20/20/21 he made
• 49:29
  national headlines. 21 he got his salary.
• 49:32
  In what was it at the time? 750,000.
• 49:36
  Dollars so it's not so much. So his officer was up 30.
• 49:39
  Thousand Oh look, watch this at the time Bitcoin was trading.
• 49:41
  Around 6060 so he got $1,000,000.
• 49:43
  Now he's trading at 88, so he's making as of now.
• 49:46
  He made each coin to 100 at 1:00.
• 49:47
  Point yeah 109 almost 99 for sure it's gonna go up way more
• 49:50
  he's. Gonna go up way more, yes.
• 49:52
  It's gonna go up. It's gonna go up.
• 49:53
  Never sell you Bitcoin. Do you have any exposure to the
• 49:55
  to digital? Not really.
• 49:56
  Not really. Do your research.
• 49:58
  I had it for like 5-10 minutes like very very and they sold it
• 50:01
  period but but no no. A friend of mine that made a lot
• 50:03
  of money on it and I was upset at him.
• 50:06
  I'm like, why did you share this with me?
• 50:07
  I don't. Understand.
• 50:08
  How could he share it with you? Hold on.
• 50:10
  He had no information on his own.
• 50:11
  Even today I understand. He wasn't like he didn't have
• 50:13
  secret sauce that he held back from you.
• 50:15
  He himself didn't know. And he was going to.
• 50:17
  He wasn't going to give you all these false information and lose
• 50:20
  all your money too. Exactly.
• 50:21
  So obviously I was just, you know, I was kidding.
• 50:23
  I was thinking I can share with me because suddenly he should
• 50:25
  share every stock with me. That's what his answer was like
• 50:28
  every time I invest in, you know.
• 50:29
  I should make a call to Michael. Gold, whatever.
• 50:31
  So instead of saying that, I said it to him at the time.
• 50:34
  So we laughed and I'm like, you know what?
• 50:35
  I'm gonna buy. And that's when I bought.
• 50:37
  Right there and. Right on the spot, I call it F
• 50:39
  you money. Just take a little bit of money,
• 50:41
  invest it in something that might go big one day.
• 50:44
  I tell people like that the best time to buy Bitcoin was in 2910.
• 50:48
  Eleven 12. I like to tease Michael all the
• 50:49
  time when I see Bitcoin. He's like my Bitcoin friend that
• 50:51
  I know, and every time he goes down, I'm like Michael, Michael.
• 50:54
  Game. Yeah, exactly.
• 50:56
  I don't like, I don't. I always come around on status,
• 50:59
  overtime and Bitcoin drops. They're all coming out from
• 51:02
  those, the bitter people who lost the money, who don't get
• 51:05
  it, the egos, do you? Understand Bitcoin guys, you
• 51:08
  both understand. I'm a student of Bitcoin.
• 51:10
  Learning is I don't. Have the brain cells for that
• 51:12
  right now, no problem. Understand.
• 51:13
  Imagine if I could dumb it down to you.
• 51:14
  And tell, but this is a money. This is a business podcast for
• 51:17
  your audience out there. I just want to give them a cute
• 51:19
  message. Leave it.
• 51:20
  That's kosher money I want to hear.
• 51:21
  I don't. Agree with you?
• 51:22
  I disagree. Pause.
• 51:24
  Remember what you want to ask. This is for the audience.
• 51:26
  We're gonna have a good time, but I don't think audience.
• 51:28
  Needs to hear from. Us they do need go ahead.
• 51:31
  Take it away. What do you want to tell us
• 51:32
  about? What I want to say is I want to
• 51:34
  echo in what my friend Rashmili Duvideir is saying here, that
• 51:38
  you know, he. I laughed at it only again, I'm
• 51:40
  going to repeat it not only because we spoke about it and
• 51:43
  wanted to speak about it. I knew this story.
• 51:45
  I imagined he was going to bring something like that up because
• 51:47
  he's. A.
• 51:47
  But the player, there's other sports.
• 51:48
  About Bitcoin etcetera. And you shouldn't dismiss it so
• 51:51
  fast and I'll tell you why. Just like in the world today,
• 51:54
  AI, if you look up the top ten jobs available in the world
• 51:57
  today, technology is definitely up there and AI is big part.
• 52:01
  You can't ignore it. You can't ignore what's
• 52:03
  happening in this part of the world.
• 52:04
  It's like saying I don't want to look at gold, right?
• 52:06
  Bitcoin is a certain type of digital currency that is
• 52:10
  compared to gold. You can't just say I don't want
• 52:12
  to know about it. That's all.
• 52:12
  That's what I was trying to say before.
• 52:14
  So that. It goes even.
• 52:15
  Deeper. I just feel like, you know, as
• 52:16
  much as I know though. Even No, no, no.
• 52:18
  Everything you just said I agree with.
• 52:19
  No, no, no, I know. I know a little more that I can
• 52:20
  educate you on Bitcoin in the 10 second.
• 52:22
  Version. Nobody really knows.
• 52:23
  We're all still learning it. Money.
• 52:25
  The noise of our money is omic, Omic.
• 52:27
  It's very deep and we don't know nothing.
• 52:29
  It's like I always tell people I read it, but I tell people the
• 52:32
  story, these two fish were swimming in the ocean.
• 52:34
  There's two youngsters fish and the old guy was coming against
• 52:37
  them. And the, the old fish goes to
• 52:40
  the fish and says, oh, how's the water today?
• 52:43
  And they've swim past. And the one fish tells you what,
• 52:46
  what's water? And the point of the story is
• 52:49
  we're all surrounded with money. We take it and we live for it
• 52:53
  and we spend. It for granted.
• 52:54
  We don't even know what it is. We don't know.
• 52:56
  Nobody knows. So even if you're not interested
• 52:58
  in Bitcoin for whatever reasons, we don't know if somebody in the
• 53:01
  in the in the in the audience that's checking in the business
• 53:04
  they want to explore. So this is not financial advice.
• 53:07
  I always say that I don't know for what reason just nobody
• 53:09
  should hold me accountable, but I am putting a lot of mine who
• 53:13
  some into Bitcoin. I'm are you really putting it?
• 53:14
  Yes, I'm a Bitcoin maxi. It's gold and I've recently sold
• 53:18
  my gold, all of it and I bought without Bitcoin.
• 53:21
  With that you can. I would do even more but you.
• 53:23
  Don't fall in on this. I would but my wife doesn't let
• 53:26
  me. There's a few things I would
• 53:27
  want to do. You want to hear it, but maybe
• 53:30
  this is I want to sell my house. I want to sell my house, I want
• 53:33
  to rent, yes, want to sell my house and get myself Bitcoin and
• 53:37
  rent. I can rent, I can rent the house
• 53:39
  for the next 10 years. What is I can rent a nice house
• 53:41
  for $5000 a month. Now is an opportunity where you
• 53:44
  can get Bitcoin for SO by. The way your house is also an
• 53:46
  investment, you know you're giving.
• 53:47
  That up my ability, it's below. It's all.
• 53:50
  It's it's all. This sounds a little bit
• 53:52
  excessive. It's all surrounded with the US
• 53:54
  dollar. Not for your wife.
• 53:56
  It's holding you back from selling your house Bitcoin on
• 53:58
  this. Bita horn, bita horn.
• 54:01
  Either way, because you don't understand, because you don't
• 54:04
  know what Bitcoin is. Neither do you.
• 54:06
  I know more than you, I've studied.
• 54:08
  Not enough, more than you don't know enough to go all in on
• 54:10
  this. You see, I'm going all in
• 54:12
  responsible. No, it's not.
• 54:13
  If you would know what Bitcoin is, if you would put in the
• 54:16
  hours that I've put into it, more than 1000 hours, I would
• 54:19
  start you over the book, The Bitcoin Standard.
• 54:22
  Familiarize yourself. I'm telling you how is it
• 54:25
  possible that. It's so volatile that it's
• 54:27
  keeping going. Because it's in the beginning.
• 54:28
  Yeah, it's in the beginning. In the beginning.
• 54:31
  Right now. It's not a currency people don't
• 54:32
  think. It's like going to Vegas and
• 54:33
  putting $50. On rent for sure, not 100.
• 54:36
  You know what it is? Those coin, Ethereum, all these
• 54:40
  other mean coins and old coins, That's gambling.
• 54:42
  You can make money, but that's gambling.
• 54:45
  Bitcoin is the one thing. Bitcoin is a Bitcoin is a
• 54:47
  protocol Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a revolution.
• 54:51
  You hear me? It's like electricity.
• 54:53
  That's what it is. It's going to change the world,
• 54:55
  just like the Internet changed the world.
• 54:57
  You know, the Internet wasn't. the US government didn't allow
• 54:59
  the Internet in the beginning. It need to be regulated.
• 55:02
  And all these big companies, they didn't want to use e-mail.
• 55:04
  What is e-mail? I want to take a bird and put in
• 55:06
  a piece of paper. I know the other person is going
• 55:09
  to get my message. e-mail or you're not.
• 55:11
  I'm going to send something. I don't know where it's getting
• 55:13
  digitally for sure. People didn't want.
• 55:15
  Yeah, yeah. That's why they think just like
• 55:17
  you were saying. And it was just a matter of time
• 55:19
  where money is going to become digital.
• 55:21
  And not only that, all the other stuff is going to go into
• 55:25
  Bitcoin. Bitcoin is going to swallow
• 55:27
  everything up. Because think about it.
• 55:29
  You see, I got to go, but you got me at the Bitcoin.
• 55:31
  I'm you're very passionate about this.
• 55:33
  I'm telling you, it's amazing. People are not paying attention.
• 55:36
  People are like you screaming and laughing.
• 55:39
  And I want to go on the rooftops and scream it.
• 55:42
  And, and people, I put out a post, I'm taking Bitcoin
• 55:44
  11,000,000 sets per wedding. Do you know what I got in
• 55:47
  return? Messages and messages.
• 55:49
  Your account was hacked. Your account was hacked.
• 55:52
  People think it's a scam and the media is a big part of it
• 55:55
  because they don't want people should know and it's it's a
• 55:58
  little bit conflicting because there's now a Bitcoin strategic
• 56:01
  reserve that Trump has signed into law.
• 56:03
  It's amazing, but yet people are still not paying attention.
• 56:06
  They think it's Internet money, it's gambling going to Vegas
• 56:09
  because they didn't do the work and you're doing medical stuff
• 56:13
  very nice. But you always in the in the
• 56:15
  market of Fiat dollar, which is it's, it's, it's a scam.
• 56:18
  They're printing this money. But you, you're not with your
• 56:20
  family, you're sitting in traffic, you're giving away your
• 56:23
  days and your nights. You're not raising your children
• 56:25
  for something that somebody can print out of out of nothing.
• 56:28
  That's what they do. They tell you they do it.
• 56:30
  They tell you there's 2% inflation, which is much more
• 56:33
  than that. But we're just so caught up in
• 56:35
  it. We don't see that we're losing
• 56:36
  our purchasing power. So what people are doing,
• 56:39
  instead of having $100 million in cash, they buy themselves a
• 56:42
  penthouse in Manhattan, and they don't even live there.
• 56:45
  But they want to. They need to store their value,
• 56:48
  right? They don't.
• 56:48
  Want their money there? But they got to pay taxes, they
• 56:51
  got to pay for all kinds of stuff in the house.
• 56:54
  And if you want to find the tenant, it's a lot of, it's a
• 56:57
  lot of if zoning laws can change, but they need to, they
• 57:01
  can't. They don't want to have that
• 57:02
  cash because they're losing purchasing power.
• 57:04
  So they got to buy the house and the house, nobody's living
• 57:07
  there. So what happens?
• 57:08
  The houses go up in price and it's not used as a utility.
• 57:11
  It's used as a store of value. Now people don't think about it
• 57:14
  because it's all the subconscious and the the
• 57:17
  Matthias is just like water needs to go to the the the
• 57:20
  lowest place. Naturally capital money cash
• 57:25
  always wants to go to the hardest place.
• 57:27
  It used to be copper, it used to be silver and went to gold and
• 57:30
  always wants to go to the most scarce place.
• 57:33
  It wants to go to the most valuable place.
• 57:36
  We understand Bitcoin is that thing.
• 57:38
  It's capped at 21 million coins. That is never going to be more
• 57:42
  people don't get the concept of this and they're gonna keep on
• 57:45
  mining it. I'm I'm talking a lot.
• 57:46
  You probably don't understand, no.
• 57:48
  The next I'm soaking this all in for the next I might buy a
• 57:50
  Bitcoin tomorrow. No, you're not gonna buy a
• 57:52
  Bitcoin. You have $85,000.
• 57:53
  That's very expensive, I. Would get you over $10 and other
• 57:55
  people don't get exactly $10 fractions of a Bitcoin.
• 58:01
  That's where the currency comes in because I think in 20 years
• 58:04
  people will be using this as a median of exchange.
• 58:07
  Right now people Al Salvador, they're doing, yes, people are
• 58:11
  doing it all over the place, of course, but it's not it's not
• 58:14
  adopt mainstream, adopted yet. It's still in the stages of
• 58:17
  store of value. People who don't want to have
• 58:20
  their money in real estate because they don't want to deal
• 58:22
  with the government. Also, people don't know this.
• 58:24
  Do you? But what do you own?
• 58:25
  Do you own your house? Yes.
• 58:27
  How do you own your house? Try not paying taxes for three
• 58:31
  years. What's going to happen?
• 58:32
  Which, by the way, is a crazy concept.
• 58:34
  How is it crazy? Well, if you don't really own
• 58:36
  anything. I own my house.
• 58:37
  The government technically owns a piece that's.
• 58:39
  What I'm saying? You don't own on your house.
• 58:42
  If you don't pay them, you're. Due exactly take your house away
• 58:47
  from. You, by the way, they're talking
• 58:48
  now, there is now a talk on Capitol Hill about creating some
• 58:51
  bills to take some of that power away from, from the towns, the
• 58:54
  villagers and whatever, and from the state and from the federal
• 58:57
  government, that they should not have so much unlimited power
• 59:00
  that they can take away things from you.
• 59:02
  Yeah. It's crazy, but people don't
• 59:04
  people think I'm, I paid off my house, it's about to pay off.
• 59:07
  You gotta pay every month $1500 I pay in taxes, $1500 used to
• 59:11
  pay for rent for my whole house, right?
• 59:12
  This is continued for the rest of my life.
• 59:14
  Makes no sense to me. Bitcoin, you own it.
• 59:17
  Nobody can take it away from you.
• 59:19
  The government can come in and steal your they can steal your
• 59:22
  gold like what happened in the 40's.
• 59:23
  The government says you got to bring your gold.
• 59:24
  It was an executive order, the Bitcoin.
• 59:26
  They got a negotiator. Who's managing this Bitcoin?
• 59:29
  Good question. Who's regulating this?
• 59:31
  Great. Question.
• 59:33
  Regulating is a different. Not regulating who owns.
• 59:35
  This is also a big part. It's decentralized.
• 59:38
  There's no government that can go and knock in somebody's door
• 59:41
  like the Ethereum and Dogecoin and all this other stuff and
• 59:44
  shut you down. It's a decentralized protocol.
• 59:49
  Who's the creator? Thousands and thousands of
• 59:51
  computers all over the globe sitting and monitoring this
• 59:55
  thing. Miners.
• 59:58
  Is there anybody that has the ability to hack this system and
• 1:00:01
  take? They've been trying.
• 1:00:02
  They've been trying for as long as it's been 15 years.
• 1:00:05
  They've been trying. Isn't that a concern though,
• 1:00:07
  that that could happen one day and that every?
• 1:00:08
  People people who want to poopoo it use that quantum computer is
• 1:00:13
  going to come and is going to steal well and.
• 1:00:15
  There's something, there's something to be said about a
• 1:00:17
  physical, tangible currency versus something that's digital,
• 1:00:21
  that there's always going to be the ability for people to take
• 1:00:25
  control by hacking. There is that risk.
• 1:00:28
  As good as this system is that created it, there could be a
• 1:00:31
  system that could break it apart.
• 1:00:33
  No, because think about what you're saying.
• 1:00:36
  What should be the incentive of somebody to break it apart if he
• 1:00:39
  wants the money from Bitcoin? If it breaks it apart, Bitcoin
• 1:00:42
  goes to 0, so he has. Nothing.
• 1:00:43
  He stole something that's worthless now.
• 1:00:45
  Exactly. And it's, it's if you're going
• 1:00:48
  to do your research, you're going to know how he put
• 1:00:50
  together. You did a lot of research in
• 1:00:52
  this, really. Over 1000.
• 1:00:53
  Dollars. A lot of research.
• 1:00:54
  More than and I love it When it goes up, my Seaman Hussen go up.
• 1:00:58
  When it goes down, I look for money to buy more, so I'm always
• 1:01:01
  in the state. I wow, you're an addict.
• 1:01:03
  You think I'm an? Addict.
• 1:01:04
  It sounds to me like it. This is like this is like.
• 1:01:07
  I don't agree. With him and.
• 1:01:08
  I have the people who are into it and they all of them say one
• 1:01:12
  of the hardest thing is when they tell their friends and
• 1:01:14
  family the responses they get. And it's hurting me a little
• 1:01:19
  bit. But I'm thinking in 20 years
• 1:01:21
  from now, if you're gonna listen to my, you do your research and
• 1:01:24
  you're gonna, it's gonna, everybody's gonna get Bitcoin.
• 1:01:26
  I just wanna clarify something. And there's gonna be a time
• 1:01:28
  where you're not gonna be able to buy Bitcoin right with U.S.
• 1:01:30
  dollar. They're not gonna sell it to
• 1:01:31
  you. They're gonna say, you know
• 1:01:32
  what, you're gonna work for me. I'll give you some Bitcoin.
• 1:01:36
  Wow, yes. And that's that precious.
• 1:01:38
  And that's when it's going to be too late, too late to make money
• 1:01:41
  off of it. There's a few dynamics.
• 1:01:44
  If you get in now, you can potentially be a millionaire
• 1:01:46
  because this is the new foundation of the global
• 1:01:48
  monetary system that's happening now.
• 1:01:50
  And it's going to be a time that's going to be done.
• 1:01:53
  So you have like 10 years like the, the, the gold rush you have
• 1:01:57
  from November of 24 till 2032. What then?
• 1:02:01
  It's going to be 99% of the Bitcoin mined and that's when
• 1:02:04
  it's going to, it's going to switch over to, to a median of
• 1:02:09
  exchange and to a unit of account where people are going
• 1:02:13
  to be exchanging it. It's just going to happen
• 1:02:15
  naturally. So to finish off my my point
• 1:02:18
  before, so houses are used for utility to live in.
• 1:02:21
  I bought my house 10 years ago. The sheetrock didn't get more
• 1:02:24
  expensive. It got crayoned on, the plumbing
• 1:02:27
  got rotted, the copper is is got it's like 10 years it's wear and
• 1:02:31
  tear yet my house is worth like but $700,000 more.
• 1:02:35
  Does that make sense? The house for utility.
• 1:02:37
  The house is not, it's the land. What do you mean it's?
• 1:02:39
  The So it's the land, whatever it.
• 1:02:40
  Is spot that you're on right? It's that it's that real estate
• 1:02:43
  that you can take it up on your block maybe.
• 1:02:45
  Block. That little chunk of.
• 1:02:47
  So what happened in this little in this 10 years, what happened?
• 1:02:49
  It didn't, I didn't, I think the kid.
• 1:02:52
  I switched over the sprinklers. My seller had sprinklers all
• 1:02:54
  over town and it was costing a lot of money.
• 1:02:56
  I shot them down. I just kept off.
• 1:02:58
  So I maybe did damage to the khaki.
• 1:03:00
  How come it went up so much in price?
• 1:03:02
  Because it ties into what I said before.
• 1:03:04
  All these millionaires, they're using their money to get to put
• 1:03:07
  it into real estate for the the value to keep their value.
• 1:03:11
  And if the real estate is is off, it costs a lot of money
• 1:03:14
  because you're not just buying it for utility to live in,
• 1:03:17
  You're buying it as a store of value.
• 1:03:18
  What Bitcoin is going to do, eventually all of these folks
• 1:03:22
  are going to realize why am I having all these property and
• 1:03:24
  I'm busy with the, with the zoning laws and maintenance and,
• 1:03:28
  and, and taxes and everything. It can burn down.
• 1:03:31
  You know how much money gets wasted ties into the volatility.
• 1:03:37
  You know how much money is wasted in the world?
• 1:03:39
  There's $900 trillion worth of assets, capital, equities,
• 1:03:44
  bonds, real estate, gold, silver, 900 trillion dollars,
• 1:03:50
  450 of it, half of it is not being moved.
• 1:03:54
  It's just sitting. It's sitting for wealthy people,
• 1:03:57
  for them, the most, the the most scariest thing is for them is
• 1:04:00
  how do I keep my money? How do I not lose it?
• 1:04:02
  How do I, the government shouldn't take it away from me.
• 1:04:05
  I want to move from Russia. I have all this real estate on
• 1:04:07
  Russia. What am I going?
• 1:04:08
  I want to move to? It's a big problem.
• 1:04:11
  Bitcoin solves all of it anyway. So this $450 trillion which is
• 1:04:15
  in real estate and gold just sitting, the other 450 people
• 1:04:18
  are doing stagnant, yes, it's just as a store of value for all
• 1:04:21
  this 1%. I don't want to bore you.
• 1:04:24
  This $450 trillion every year between natural disasters and
• 1:04:31
  rioting and zoning laws and elections, all this stuff for
• 1:04:37
  the $450 trillion loses around 1 or 2%.
• 1:04:40
  It's like 10 to $15 trillion, but people don't think about 10
• 1:04:44
  to 15 trillion. You're saying that that?
• 1:04:46
  It goes, maybe it goes out from here, but it goes over here.
• 1:04:49
  It's always people are losing between all these insurance
• 1:04:52
  companies have to pay for natural disasters, Somebody is
• 1:04:55
  losing. It's going all over the place,
• 1:04:58
  but it's getting out of the system like 1 or 2% of the $450
• 1:05:02
  trillion. So the volatility, what you're
• 1:05:04
  seeing in Bitcoin, it's $2 trillion.
• 1:05:06
  The whole the whole market cap of it is it's not so much if you
• 1:05:10
  want to look at where you're really like losing a lot of
• 1:05:14
  money, but you don't see it is over there in the $450 trillion
• 1:05:17
  anyway. As soon as the millionaires will
• 1:05:19
  realize that the best store of value is not real estate and
• 1:05:23
  it's not gold and it's not always Bitcoin is the real
• 1:05:26
  thing. Everything is going to start
• 1:05:27
  adjusting. Houses are going to go down in
• 1:05:29
  price. The stuff you're going to buy is
• 1:05:31
  going to become cheaper. The stuff you're going to buy is
• 1:05:34
  going to become more better stuff, better quality stuff.
• 1:05:38
  Now I might, you might think, yeah, he's in a dreamland, but
• 1:05:42
  if you would study it, it all, it's like a domino effect.
• 1:05:46
  You fix the money, you fix the world.
• 1:05:48
  Bitcoin has not been around in history.
• 1:05:51
  In 2009, there was a guy named Satoshi Nakamoto and he figured
• 1:05:55
  out how to put a few things together as a dish and he used,
• 1:06:00
  he used blockchain technology to keep a Ledger, to keep Hashmu.
• 1:06:05
  He used the hash rate for security to secure it, like 256
• 1:06:09
  hashes. I don't even know exactly what
• 1:06:12
  I'm saying, but it's like 00 zero, 256 zeros.
• 1:06:16
  That's how encrypted it is. Like you, it's Mamish, not
• 1:06:21
  Migler to hack it. People have been trying,
• 1:06:23
  governments have been trying. North Korea has their group
• 1:06:26
  called Lazarus and they hackers, they hack all over the place and
• 1:06:29
  they hacked an exchange that sells cryptocurrencies.
• 1:06:34
  I bet it was called. It's called.
• 1:06:36
  They stole $1.5 billion worth of Etherium.
• 1:06:39
  Now exchanges are not so secure. This is also if you're going to
• 1:06:42
  buy Bitcoin, you want to take it to self custody.
• 1:06:45
  It's a whole why I can talk so much about it.
• 1:06:47
  Bottom line, I bet there's an exchange and these Lazarus
• 1:06:51
  driver from North Korea, they hacked it and they stole $1.5
• 1:06:54
  billion worth of Ethereum and they bought, you know what they
• 1:06:58
  bought? They bought Bitcoin.
• 1:07:00
  What? Bitcoin because North Korea
• 1:07:03
  wants to position themselves to be in a good story that.
• 1:07:05
  I. Designed true, it's.
• 1:07:07
  Amazing. People are not paying attention.
• 1:07:08
  How do we not know anything? Because you're doing the medical
• 1:07:11
  field and you're busy picking up phones from Andy Glick and
• 1:07:13
  you're asking him Four O clock is the podcast.
• 1:07:16
  You're doing your thing. I have the community gave me
• 1:07:19
  economic freedom. I don't work all the time.
• 1:07:21
  I have time and I'm starting. I'm seeing this thing every day.
• 1:07:25
  I'm listening to podcast. I'm listening to what's
• 1:07:27
  happening in this market and people are not paying attention.
• 1:07:30
  So people say I'm so late. It's 85,000 now I want to get
• 1:07:34
  those going. It's $0.15 a share, a unit,
• 1:07:37
  whatever you want to call it. And I'm telling you it is so
• 1:07:40
  early. If I, if you go into any gas
• 1:07:42
  station, you ask the guy, do you know Bitcoin?
• 1:07:44
  They say you know you're early, you know you're early when
• 1:07:48
  you're going to be late as when people are not going to sell you
• 1:07:50
  any more Bitcoin for U.S. dollar.
• 1:07:52
  I think personally it's going to happen like at least 50 to 60%
• 1:07:57
  adoption. The Bitcoin, when Bitcoin is
• 1:07:59
  worth $5,000,000 a coin, that's what it's going to take.
• 1:08:03
  You know, I, I meant the Bitcoin.
• 1:08:05
  When Bitcoin turned to 1 cent, it was history.
• 1:08:09
  It was history because it started from 0.0000003 to go to
• 1:08:14
  1 cent, it needed to go like 1000 X.
• 1:08:17
  It's like a mess. And then when it went to $0.10,
• 1:08:20
  it was a mess. But you and I, we didn't even
• 1:08:22
  know about it yet. It was something massive.
• 1:08:25
  Then it went to a dollar. It was a massive I didn't know
• 1:08:28
  $100 massive, we didn't know $1000 massive news, we didn't
• 1:08:32
  know 10,000 massive we didn't know.
• 1:08:35
  Now it reached 100,000. A lot of people still don't
• 1:08:38
  know, but by 100,000 it's attracting new kind of money by
• 1:08:42
  500,000 is going to attract. I got around like by by 10,000.
• 1:08:46
  That's when I, I came online to this and I I traded and I bought
• 1:08:50
  and I sold. I'm going to be rich.
• 1:08:52
  I'm going to gamble. I didn't even know what I'm
• 1:08:53
  buying from 2020 to 2024, four years.
• 1:08:56
  I was just whatever I need to find.
• 1:08:58
  I don't want to buy real estate. I'm going to buy Bitcoin and I
• 1:09:01
  bought and I sold in until November of 2024, maybe October
• 1:09:05
  before the election. It just, it just clicked.
• 1:09:10
  It's a total talk. It clicked to me and I just
• 1:09:12
  looked how much SAT, how much Bitcoin I have and I thought OK,
• 1:09:16
  whatever I have I'm keeping and from now on I'm only buying more
• 1:09:19
  and more and more. Thank God at that point I had
• 1:09:21
  some accumulation because I. Gotta stop you Stop.
• 1:09:24
  Just stop. Stop.
• 1:09:25
  This is wild. Even even when I'm stopping at
• 1:09:28
  so much to talk. You're you're a financial
• 1:09:30
  analyst. I'm not a.
• 1:09:32
  You're a singer. Like you have two things to get
• 1:09:34
  2 notches in your belt. I I want to start for a moment
• 1:09:37
  because you're throwing so much. I mean, I want you to know,
• 1:09:39
  laugh. You're a tremendous salesman.
• 1:09:41
  I have to. Tell you I'm not looking to sell
• 1:09:42
  you this Bitcoin I'm making, not making anything.
• 1:09:45
  That I'm being sold slowly, but what you're, what you're doing
• 1:09:47
  is you're really opening my eyes to something that I need to do
• 1:09:48
  more research. Into the audience.
• 1:09:50
  Exactly. You got enough.
• 1:09:51
  Which one is my camera says Do your research Open up your eyes
• 1:09:55
  Google read the Bitcoin standard.
• 1:09:57
  The book came out of 2018. I don't read so good English.
• 1:10:00
  I listen to the audio it's 11 hours.
• 1:10:01
  I had to rerind constantly because in listening I was like
• 1:10:05
  whoa whoa, whoa, whoa, go back go back because it's Oh my it's
• 1:10:08
  very deep. All monetary system is very
• 1:10:10
  deep. So yeah, do your research, you
• 1:10:12
  go further any that's. Crazy what you're the way you're
• 1:10:14
  describing and you're articulating it very well.
• 1:10:17
  You also have all the jargons down like you know all the
• 1:10:19
  terminologies and you're clearly a subject matter expert on this.
• 1:10:24
  Like you have a tremendous amount of research that you've
• 1:10:26
  done and look for you that you took interest in something and
• 1:10:28
  you're pursued it to the level that you did that you become
• 1:10:31
  somewhat of an expert on it. And you probably have knowledge
• 1:10:35
  in this more than 95% of the world.
• 1:10:38
  It's unbelievable. You're in that little minor
• 1:10:40
  group of people that understand it, but in intricate way.
• 1:10:42
  You understand the granular details of a phenomenal.
• 1:10:46
  Now what I want you to do though, if you will, please, I
• 1:10:49
  want you to stop for a second and I want you to give me the
• 1:10:52
  other side, OK? You're clearly sold on it.
• 1:10:55
  You believe in it very passionately, wholeheartedly.
• 1:10:58
  I'm a buyer. I believe you completely.
• 1:11:00
  What you're selling. Awesome.
• 1:11:01
  But you're a smart guy and you know, there's risks to
• 1:11:05
  everything in this world. What you're saying is
• 1:11:07
  generational. It's going to change the world.
• 1:11:08
  And you're you're really, this is very high praise.
• 1:11:11
  It almost sounds like a God, You know, this, this Bitcoin thing.
• 1:11:14
  Give me the other side for a moment.
• 1:11:16
  Tell me what are some of the risks, where something can go
• 1:11:18
  wrong, and why this could be potentially not the greatest
• 1:11:22
  thing. So I, where should I start?
• 1:11:24
  I can, I, can, I can tell you what people always the concerns
• 1:11:27
  I hear from people is number 1 is volatility.
• 1:11:30
  How is it a good store of value? If I put in today $1,000,000 and
• 1:11:33
  I wake up in the morning, it's only 850.
• 1:11:37
  To that I say that had Bitcoin go gone off and a straight arrow
• 1:11:43
  like this, like an artist going up, up, up, you and I would
• 1:11:47
  never be able to get into it because Warren Buffett and Bill
• 1:11:50
  Gates, they would all buy it up. Such a thing going like this,
• 1:11:53
  like this. So this volatility is a as a toy
• 1:11:56
  good for us. It's very good.
• 1:11:58
  And also it's new and the market is figuring out what is this?
• 1:12:03
  There's 100 million people in the world trading Bitcoin. 10%
• 1:12:08
  of these know what they're holding.
• 1:12:10
  The others are just speculating, wanting to sell.
• 1:12:14
  They have it. But when it reaches 125, I'm
• 1:12:16
  selling. That's that's their mindset.
• 1:12:19
  My mindset is not that because what am I selling it into?
• 1:12:23
  I'm going to sell my Bitcoin to get the 125 thousand U.S.
• 1:12:26
  dollars that tomorrow is going to be only have the purchasing
• 1:12:29
  power of $124,000. This can be printed out of
• 1:12:34
  nowhere. So when you ask me, the other
• 1:12:36
  side, I'm trying to the other side is the quantum computers.
• 1:12:39
  People say there's going to be the new computer was going to be
• 1:12:41
  able to hack everything. They'll solve it all, and this
• 1:12:44
  will be something they can hack as well.
• 1:12:45
  This is one thing, yeah, this is a lot of computer power securing
• 1:12:49
  this network. But quantum computers can be
• 1:12:51
  something. But I but I tell them if quantum
• 1:12:54
  computers will be able to destroy Bitcoin, we have way
• 1:12:58
  bigger problems before Bitcoin, right?
• 1:13:01
  They're going to hack the nuclear system.
• 1:13:03
  They're going to hack bigger problems, you know, cyber
• 1:13:06
  attack. Do you think that there's
• 1:13:07
  something to be said about a fad when What's a fad?
• 1:13:10
  A fad is when a hype, you know, people, they it looks exciting.
• 1:13:15
  Yeah, that might not be so exciting, but it looks and.
• 1:13:16
  People like the tulipsright.com bubble.
• 1:13:19
  Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:13:20
  It gains a lot of traction because of it, and it's really
• 1:13:23
  worthless, right? Like if you look at the NFTS,
• 1:13:25
  like at a certain point, that's a good thing, right?
• 1:13:27
  The NFTS were like people were trading pictures that looked
• 1:13:29
  like, you know. Whatever.
• 1:13:30
  Yeah, the NFTS was big. For millions of dollars, right?
• 1:13:33
  Because the fact that people were afraid of missing out
• 1:13:35
  people, you know, and it jumped very quickly.
• 1:13:37
  And I think it's too good to be true usually really is
• 1:13:40
  especially things that gain notoriety very quickly, things
• 1:13:43
  that really go to the top very quickly, right?
• 1:13:45
  Could it be that Bitcoin has a lot of that also and that's
• 1:13:48
  really firing it up and that's giving it a lot of the like
• 1:13:51
  that's a shot in the arm for Bitcoin is that people are
• 1:13:54
  talking about and a guy like me is sitting, I'm thinking, am I
• 1:13:56
  really missing out on something? And I'm going to quickly go on
• 1:13:58
  and that's going to spike up the right.
• 1:14:00
  So there's got to be a little bit of that, that it's inflating
• 1:14:03
  it's real value. Yes, probably.
• 1:14:06
  And that's why it keeps on going up, because people want to buy
• 1:14:09
  it in and then it reaches up and then it goes down because people
• 1:14:12
  want to grab profit. Right.
• 1:14:14
  So that's, that's the whole game.
• 1:14:15
  That's what I said. The 90% of people who have
• 1:14:18
  exposure to Bitcoin, they don't know what they're holding and
• 1:14:21
  they're. But, but you're right though,
• 1:14:22
  because let's face it, like the one thing that is not like we
• 1:14:25
  modernize so many things like plumbing, right?
• 1:14:28
  Wasn't around many hundreds of years ago where then we we
• 1:14:30
  changed the course of the world. Our lives change, our quality of
• 1:14:34
  lives change, right? I feel like the one thing that
• 1:14:36
  it's very antiquated, like we've been doing this for thousands
• 1:14:39
  years and we never really modernized, is money.
• 1:14:42
  What is water we spend the fish? Eyeing and selling, we don't
• 1:14:45
  know. It's the dawn of time where for
• 1:14:47
  a product, right, you pay the price and that's how you create
• 1:14:50
  a free society. You a hug, right?
• 1:14:52
  That's literally like, this is the one thing that we've
• 1:14:54
  ignored, like you said. Now we ignored the the education
• 1:14:57
  system. They don't live in the water.
• 1:14:59
  For your whole life. And then somebody asks you how
• 1:15:01
  you like in the water. What's water?
• 1:15:03
  You don't even realize what it is anymore.
• 1:15:05
  Tell me now you're getting this metaphor much better than
• 1:15:07
  before. Now I get the metaphor.
• 1:15:08
  Of course you are now I guess. You're doing some of the
• 1:15:10
  research. They don't want you to educate
• 1:15:12
  yourself. They want the US dollar should
• 1:15:13
  remain the. And this who is this a big
• 1:15:15
  problem for? For the for the governments
• 1:15:18
  around the. World every government that's a
• 1:15:19
  big problem for. Because that's a big the fact.
• 1:15:22
  Unless, unless if they can print money, you print your money and
• 1:15:26
  you buy yourself Bitcoin Exactly.
• 1:15:28
  You can be a winner. That's why Trump is now putting
• 1:15:30
  a lot of the reserves in Bitcoin, because he's got to get
• 1:15:32
  in on it. Yes, because why is America the
• 1:15:34
  most powerful country in the world?
• 1:15:35
  Because we're the richest powerful country.
• 1:15:37
  Why does the richest country? Why does that matter?
• 1:15:39
  Because you have the biggest military, you could spend the
• 1:15:41
  most. You're the biggest.
• 1:15:42
  You got the most guns. You're the strongest man in the
• 1:15:44
  room. So America needs to remain the
• 1:15:47
  richest in the world. So I thought, you're going to
• 1:15:49
  say something better. This is a threat to force.
• 1:15:51
  Yeah, Why is the US dollar people trading by force?
• 1:15:55
  You are forced to use it. Why?
• 1:15:56
  Because it's backed by the military.
• 1:15:58
  If you're not going to use it, you know what happens.
• 1:15:59
  Look what happened to Gaddafi. Look what happened to all the
• 1:16:01
  other places. They want bricks.
• 1:16:03
  Everybody wants to walk away. the US is it.
• 1:16:05
  They're forcing you to buy it. Bitcoin is not forced.
• 1:16:08
  Bitcoin is adoption. You get into it and you start
• 1:16:11
  enjoying the reaping the benefits.
• 1:16:13
  Even Putin said in a big derusha, he was saying that I
• 1:16:16
  can use Bitcoin to bypass U.S. sanctions.
• 1:16:18
  The US can't do anything about it.
• 1:16:21
  It's as simple as that. So, people.
• 1:16:23
  And it's untraceable money as well.
• 1:16:25
  Now. How true.
• 1:16:26
  No, no, no. Untraceable to the person
• 1:16:28
  because it's a wallet. You can trace down the wallet,
• 1:16:30
  but you don't know who is the owner of the wallet.
• 1:16:33
  It can be a robot. Right.
• 1:16:34
  And this is also a big thing. You know how many people can't
• 1:16:37
  get into the banking system because they don't have a Social
• 1:16:40
  Security or they don't have a home address?
• 1:16:41
  People in Africa called people they have, they have a lot of
• 1:16:44
  talents, but they're working for the Zimbabwe money and their
• 1:16:47
  governments are inflating their money.
• 1:16:49
  They can't get out of their thing because their governments
• 1:16:52
  aren't playing the money. Bitcoin.
• 1:16:53
  They can get into Bitcoin if you have a cell phone at the
• 1:16:57
  universal rate. Exactly.
• 1:16:59
  I can be living in Zimbabwe and providing a service for a guy in
• 1:17:02
  San Francisco and he's giving me 20,000 sets for this.
• 1:17:05
  And these 20,000 sets is is global money.
• 1:17:08
  So even if I live in Zimbabwe, this is a lot of money this
• 1:17:11
  20,000 sets and the whole world is going to get out of.
• 1:17:14
  Poverty that's created this. Satoshi Nakoshi.
• 1:17:18
  Nakamoto. He disappeared.
• 1:17:19
  Who the heck is this guy? Good question.
• 1:17:20
  Where the hell is this? Guy, so you gotta understand.
• 1:17:23
  He sounds to me, but I'm start to pick up on this down.
• 1:17:24
  I obviously I'm hearing this over 30 minutes.
• 1:17:26
  This guy is a freaking genius. He is.
• 1:17:29
  Of course he's like, he's like, he invented something.
• 1:17:31
  He invented something. He is a genius.
• 1:17:33
  So where is he? Is he?
• 1:17:35
  Let's go. He's the most valuable.
• 1:17:36
  Person in the world right now he has 1.1 million Bitcoin and
• 1:17:39
  hasn't moved since 2009. You can see the Bitcoin is a he.
• 1:17:43
  Secured a little trunk for himself, right?
• 1:17:44
  Now he took it, yeah, he took it for himself, but we don't know
• 1:17:47
  who he is, so. But he is a real person we do
• 1:17:50
  for. This we know he's a real person.
• 1:17:51
  Yeah, He he. An individual, I mean, that's.
• 1:17:53
  One person, we don't know if it's an individual, if it's a
• 1:17:55
  group. He's a group.
• 1:17:56
  It's an e-mail address. Yeah.
• 1:17:57
  It's that's what we know. It's Satoshi Nakamoto.
• 1:17:59
  That's how we communicate it. We don't know if it's a group or
• 1:18:02
  if it's a team or if it's a person, I guess.
• 1:18:04
  But I if I would put more, I think it's a person.
• 1:18:06
  I just want to interject for a minute because we're running out
• 1:18:08
  of time. Yeah, I know about the time I
• 1:18:09
  no. But I do, I do want to.
• 1:18:10
  I do want to say. What?
• 1:18:12
  What is time? Oh my God, here we go.
• 1:18:15
  I felt like Bitcoin is going to replace time also from the
• 1:18:17
  sales. But yes, I if I'm buying that
• 1:18:20
  Bitcoin, I'm buying my time. Yes, I'm buying 40 exactly.
• 1:18:23
  Where do you have to go right now?
• 1:18:25
  That's more important than investing more in Bitcoin.
• 1:18:27
  That's what it sounds like. I gotta be healthy.
• 1:18:29
  I will not what is delayed. Otherwise, what's anything in
• 1:18:31
  life worth you got to be physically healthy?
• 1:18:33
  I agree. But what was I going to say?
• 1:18:35
  So until 2009 when this Bitcoin came to life from 1971 when
• 1:18:41
  Nixon got all got us out of the of the gold standard, that's
• 1:18:44
  when everything went downhill because the money is not backed
• 1:18:47
  by gold. The second money is not backed
• 1:18:49
  by gold. You can just print it and you
• 1:18:50
  don't have any, right? No, there's.
• 1:18:51
  No collateral on it. It's not worth.
• 1:18:52
  Nothing. So the US dollars since 1971
• 1:18:55
  till today I think it the purchasing value dropped 90% and
• 1:18:58
  95%. You know what that is and we
• 1:19:00
  don't realize and we're just going with it.
• 1:19:02
  This is what we have. So between 1971 and 2009, there
• 1:19:06
  was a lot of smart people knowing that this is the
• 1:19:08
  monetary system is no good, is no good.
• 1:19:09
  And they were experimenting all the time with different kind of
• 1:19:14
  websites and coins and options and the US would shut it down
• 1:19:17
  and would jail them and would do everything.
• 1:19:20
  So this Satoshi Nakamoto has had a lot of experience all these
• 1:19:23
  years before. So he knew one of the things, I
• 1:19:26
  guess he knew from the beginning that if this is taking off, I'm
• 1:19:29
  disappearing. Nobody call me, nobody know who
• 1:19:31
  I am. So in 2011, there was the last
• 1:19:34
  e-mail where he was communicating with other
• 1:19:36
  developers. It's out of his hands.
• 1:19:38
  He created this protocol. He can't even change it.
• 1:19:41
  So this is how he made it. He made it decentralized that
• 1:19:44
  this is powered by thousands and thousands of computers globally.
• 1:19:48
  In 2011, he wrote his last e-mail.
• 1:19:49
  He was writing something along the lines that yeah, everything
• 1:19:52
  because between 2009 and 2011, all these developers were coming
• 1:19:56
  along and they kept on finding problems because you have a lot
• 1:19:58
  of mind power doing something and there's I don't understand
• 1:20:02
  this encryption and all these coding.
• 1:20:04
  But if you do this and then there's a way in for the oh,
• 1:20:06
  good. And he writes back, thank you
• 1:20:08
  for bringing this much. And for two years the developing
• 1:20:11
  it was developing again. And in 2011, he wrote.
• 1:20:14
  I think Bitcoin is in good hands and like CEO Manana, and that
• 1:20:17
  was the last that we heard of him.
• 1:20:19
  There's a lot of theories out there, but he knew because the
• 1:20:22
  US government wants to shut down Bitcoin, they would go to
• 1:20:24
  Satoshi Nakamoto and he's anonymous.
• 1:20:27
  Nobody knows if it's. You know that commercial, they
• 1:20:28
  always play the most interesting man in the world.
• 1:20:31
  Dos Eckis, remember that commercial, right?
• 1:20:33
  He's the most interesting man in the world.
• 1:20:35
  That's the. Guy for the people following
• 1:20:36
  Bitcoin, yeah, yeah, but most people don't even know what
• 1:20:38
  Bitcoin is. I think it's a scam.
• 1:20:39
  I'm so far of the game, I want to get those going.
• 1:20:42
  All these, all these, how did we get?
• 1:20:43
  Here. How did we get here?
• 1:20:45
  This is. I think I told you when you
• 1:20:46
  asked me if I can come with the podcast, I told you I don't
• 1:20:48
  know, we got to speak about Bitcoin.
• 1:20:49
  This was one of my things. Oh, this one of the even on my
• 1:20:52
  podcast this. Is I've been waiting wild and it
• 1:20:54
  happens to be you totally as much as you do, but I have so
• 1:20:57
  many questions I wanted to ask. Because singing is very OK.
• 1:20:59
  We're singing. Oh, it is so much.
• 1:21:01
  Time that's not a waste of time, that's giving you income that
• 1:21:03
  you can actually invest into, you know, so, so you're not
• 1:21:06
  sitting on money. You're taking every dollar.
• 1:21:08
  But you believe in it so much. Yeah.
• 1:21:09
  Every dollar. The night of the wedding you
• 1:21:11
  made 18 grand, 17 if it goes to the Bitcoin.
• 1:21:14
  Well, you're very cute. Well, first of all, let me
• 1:21:16
  enlighten you. So first of all, if it's I know
• 1:21:18
  I don't take 18, but that's 18. I would take 9000 for the
• 1:21:20
  deposit months and months ago. So after the wedding, I would
• 1:21:22
  only pick up a check of nine. And then from this nine it has
• 1:21:25
  to go with the agent. Sometimes there's a manager,
• 1:21:27
  there's a producer and you know, there's money.
• 1:21:29
  Massive. You give massive Sure, sure you
• 1:21:31
  have massive money. Everybody give my outshot as
• 1:21:34
  outside anyway, So you're left with it was a certain amount of
• 1:21:36
  money. So let's say I'm left with
• 1:21:38
  $5000. I put it in the bank.
• 1:21:39
  I got to pay my credit cards. I got to pay the Goita.
• 1:21:41
  There's stuff you got to pay. But I I don't of course average
• 1:21:44
  every day. Every day Today I bought
• 1:21:46
  Bitcoin. I bought 280,000 sets for like
• 1:21:49
  $250. That's what I bought every day.
• 1:21:51
  Every day I bought. Look, there are some people that
• 1:21:53
  invest in stocks, right? And you're putting all your
• 1:21:57
  investments. I don't.
• 1:21:58
  I don't look at it as investment.
• 1:21:59
  Also make the switch to the boys side investments.
• 1:22:02
  You're looking to grab profits or you get upset when it goes
• 1:22:04
  down. This is not an investment for
• 1:22:06
  me. I have investment my house.
• 1:22:08
  I have some other stuff, maybe some life insurance for my kids.
• 1:22:11
  I don't look at it as an investment.
• 1:22:12
  I look at it as a savings vehicle instead of it should be
• 1:22:15
  in the chase app, I'm putting it into the Ledger live app.
• 1:22:17
  It should did over there. Sometimes it goes down by more.
• 1:22:21
  If it goes off I get so excited I.
• 1:22:24
  Was going to say, so in stocks, when people invest in stocks and
• 1:22:26
  they want to put investments, they use the terminal lot,
• 1:22:28
  right? So I'm investing in this, I'm
• 1:22:30
  investing in that. You can invest in bonds and
• 1:22:32
  securities. So it seems like you made the
• 1:22:34
  decision with your 100%. You are a subject matter expert
• 1:22:38
  on this topic. You think I'm an expert?
• 1:22:40
  I don't consider I don't an expert you.
• 1:22:41
  Certainly know more than the average person.
• 1:22:42
  Yes, but I also know what I don't know you, you don't know
• 1:22:45
  what is it? I had this guy, I must say, he
• 1:22:48
  said the message is me. He's like an Israeli, always
• 1:22:50
  finding ways to make. He said it's come to my
• 1:22:52
  attention that you're into Bitcoin.
• 1:22:54
  If there's anything that I can bring you or I, I know Bitcoin,
• 1:22:57
  he's gonna and like, enlighten me.
• 1:22:58
  I say, Oh yeah, you know, and I have my notes.
• 1:23:00
  I have a lot of questions and I write it down.
• 1:23:03
  I can show it to you. And I have my questions that I
• 1:23:05
  want to have one day on my podcast.
• 1:23:07
  And that guy named Charlie Shrem, I think it was a
• 1:23:09
  Hasidoshi guy. He was the one of the founders.
• 1:23:11
  He went to jail. You know how much the the
• 1:23:13
  government would arrest people. They arrested a guy named Ross
• 1:23:17
  Albright, I think. And Trump just released him with
• 1:23:20
  an executive order. They put him into jail and there
• 1:23:22
  was this Silk Road. People went to jail all these
• 1:23:24
  years. Don't you don't think that the
• 1:23:26
  government hasn't been trying to hack and get and hackers?
• 1:23:29
  Everybody's been trying to destroy it.
• 1:23:30
  They can't. It's out.
• 1:23:32
  It's it's it's a protocol. You can't stop the Internet.
• 1:23:35
  You can't stop Bitcoin protocol. You can add layers, you can have
• 1:23:38
  all kinds of utilities to it from it.
• 1:23:41
  Robots can use it. It's become AI, it's becoming
• 1:23:43
  embedded. It's digital money.
• 1:23:45
  Anyway, what was I saying? What was I saying?
• 1:23:47
  Savings the guy that you want to have in your pocket.
• 1:23:49
  So he says, if you want, I can bring you.
• 1:23:51
  Ask me if I say yeah, I have a few questions.
• 1:23:52
  So I took my note and I sent it to him.
• 1:23:54
  Like disgrace. It's all I get.
• 1:23:56
  And he comes back, he sees all my questions.
• 1:23:59
  It's like it's it's normal. I understand that if somebody
• 1:24:01
  doesn't know, it wouldn't understand even what I'm asking.
• 1:24:04
  And he says, oh, yeah, yeah, I, I don't know, OK, go to somebody
• 1:24:07
  else. So he's here, like to make a
• 1:24:09
  buck. People always trying to see how
• 1:24:11
  they can outsmart the system. But if you know what you have,
• 1:24:14
  you just buy. I'm putting, I'm putting the
• 1:24:16
  label back on you and I'm doing it for a reason.
• 1:24:18
  I've spent at least I'm going to say 40 hours researching this.
• 1:24:22
  OK. You spent 1000 hours, probably
• 1:24:25
  more. You're a subject matter expert
• 1:24:26
  of this topic. You're not only speaking
• 1:24:28
  passionately about it. The reason why you can sell it
• 1:24:30
  to Ushi and the reason why I stepped back is because I knew
• 1:24:33
  this about you. I was excited.
• 1:24:35
  Watching you transition him from a non believer to a believer
• 1:24:40
  makes me proud. The same kiss you wanted to give
• 1:24:42
  him when he finally copped. I wanted to give it to you when
• 1:24:44
  you started because I knew where you were going.
• 1:24:46
  And I'm so happy we're here for you to send the message that
• 1:24:49
  it's a great savings vehicle, obviously.
• 1:24:52
  Like financial advice to anyone? Yeah, You're just saying what
• 1:24:54
  works for you. Michael, we have to shift gears
• 1:24:57
  here further. We have a few minutes left.
• 1:24:58
  The last few minutes, I wanted to give, like, a series of
• 1:25:00
  questions, not about Bitcoin, but about you and your life and
• 1:25:03
  your sinking capacity. Yeah, So they're very multi.
• 1:25:06
  They'll wrap up the Bitcoin thing.
• 1:25:08
  Bitcoin is a crypto, right? So cryptocurrency, right, is a
• 1:25:11
  cryptocurrency. So let's just end this topic
• 1:25:13
  with this was crypto, right now, this was gold.
• 1:25:16
  This was crypto. This conversation was
• 1:25:18
  unbelievable. It was.
• 1:25:19
  Yeah, I enjoyed it, by the way. Yeah.
• 1:25:20
  No, we were all in. That enlighten yourself.
• 1:25:24
  I'm telling to educate me Emma's Dick.
• 1:25:25
  This is the first thing when I only have two minutes.
• 1:25:28
  Someone says sell me Bitcoin like the 32nd elevator.
• 1:25:31
  Yeah, whatever. I always go to the US dollar.
• 1:25:34
  Does it make sense to you to give away your time, energy,
• 1:25:37
  effort? You're not seeing your kids.
• 1:25:38
  You were living for your career. All for this cutting pieces of
• 1:25:40
  paper that the government can just print at will.
• 1:25:43
  Does this make sense to you? They're taking not just your
• 1:25:46
  money. They're taking your energy.
• 1:25:47
  They're taking your time. They own you.
• 1:25:49
  They own you. You were slaves.
• 1:25:51
  And when I used to hear you're a slave to the US government, they
• 1:25:54
  used to think like, yeah, he's like, it didn't Click to me.
• 1:25:56
  I was like, yeah, he's talking stuff that I'm never gonna
• 1:25:59
  understand, but this is the truth.
• 1:26:01
  This is the first thing I ask. Does it make sense to you to
• 1:26:03
  work for something your whole life, for some, for something?
• 1:26:06
  Somebody can just print that will and that's.
• 1:26:08
  Like the more they print, the more they're devaluing.
• 1:26:10
  Of course you. Already have in your pocket?
• 1:26:12
  Whatever you have this. $100 and you decided to print more
• 1:26:15
  because you overspent in other areas and now you needed more
• 1:26:18
  money so you print the more You took my $100 in my pocket that I
• 1:26:21
  work for and now it's worth $90.00 exactly because you are
• 1:26:24
  in control of something. Exactly what the Romans did,
• 1:26:28
  they used to print the gold coins and then they wanted to go
• 1:26:30
  to war, so they took these coins while these people were earning.
• 1:26:33
  They put 80% gold at 20% metal and then more.
• 1:26:36
  That's how they used it and then they went poof, how long The
• 1:26:38
  Romans are not alive. The same thing is going to
• 1:26:40
  happen to the US. There's only they can push it
• 1:26:42
  only so far along the. Credit line only goes so far and
• 1:26:45
  they're going to have to keep printing.
• 1:26:46
  Printing. I don't have a choice.
• 1:26:47
  They must print and they will print.
• 1:26:48
  Move on to USAI. Just want to say this was
• 1:26:50
  amazing. Amazing.
• 1:26:51
  This clip of 15 minutes or whatever it was should be
• 1:26:54
  listened to everyone who's starting to look at savings or
• 1:26:57
  investing. And of course, it's not used
• 1:27:00
  every penny that. But the idea that you're saying,
• 1:27:02
  if I could, by the way, rent the house that I have forever and
• 1:27:05
  just pay rent, I would do it. The challenge with renting is
• 1:27:07
  that you can get thrown out. That's the challenge.
• 1:27:09
  That's why people don't rent and they buy because you control
• 1:27:12
  where you live. That's what I was thinking when
• 1:27:13
  you said rent. Of course, if I could say this
• 1:27:15
  house I'm going to have forever for $5000 with Ingrid, no, I'd
• 1:27:18
  rather not. Rent if you can buy no.
• 1:27:20
  No, no, no, no. I'm agreeing with him that I
• 1:27:21
  would rather rent if I knew I can stick with this house
• 1:27:23
  forever. Why?
• 1:27:24
  You don't want to pay for the boiler?
• 1:27:25
  You don't want to pay for anything.
• 1:27:26
  Headache. I know people who rent.
• 1:27:28
  Yeah, ready to take my money and save it.
• 1:27:30
  I'm not sure what's happening here, but it's irrelevant I.
• 1:27:32
  Should I should tell you something I didn't mention
• 1:27:34
  before? I have a guy, a friend he he
• 1:27:36
  says he will buy my house and I can stay living there and I will
• 1:27:40
  pay him rent. Lifetime contract I it never got
• 1:27:43
  there because my wife said go away we're not selling anything
• 1:27:46
  so it never got there but I wouldn't have to move out right?
• 1:27:48
  Friend told me he has the money then do it.
• 1:27:50
  I have to get my wife there, but it's also my I don't.
• 1:27:54
  Put in on. Me some questions on him you
• 1:27:56
  must who is she? Schwartz come in this.
• 1:27:59
  Is your industry this is? With the music.
• 1:28:01
  Yeah, the music. This is really where your sweet
• 1:28:03
  spot is. You must enjoy it because you do
• 1:28:05
  it for a living, right? Who's the best all time Jewish
• 1:28:11
  singer? No question, hands down in your
• 1:28:13
  mind, who gets that award? Who's the number one overall
• 1:28:18
  best singer with the best voice? You know, just the way he
• 1:28:20
  carried himself and his his performances over who's your
• 1:28:23
  best? Who's your favorite?
• 1:28:25
  So you just said three things. Performances.
• 1:28:27
  The voice, the charismatic. Yeah, all boxes that they have
• 1:28:30
  to check who gets the highest score between.
• 1:28:31
  Them even the one who will get the highest score, he might
• 1:28:33
  excel at one thing at 60, but the other thing is not so good.
• 1:28:36
  So it's everybody has a little bit of everything.
• 1:28:39
  So even if even if I have my favorite, it's not going to be
• 1:28:42
  my favorite here and all the others.
• 1:28:44
  Who's the goat? You know what the goat is?
• 1:28:45
  The greatest of all time. Who's the goat?
• 1:28:47
  So, so if you're going to ask me who it's who moves me, whom's
• 1:28:50
  music do I play and it moves me, it's more of heaven, David,
• 1:28:54
  that's. That's so you still listen like
• 1:28:57
  you. You'll put on a Motor Heaven
• 1:28:58
  David song. You want to hear something even
• 1:28:59
  more fascinating? When I was growing up, I didn't
• 1:29:01
  know the difference between Motor Heaven, David and Avram
• 1:29:03
  Freed. They didn't know who is who.
• 1:29:05
  Does that make sense? No.
• 1:29:06
  What do you mean by that? I didn't know.
• 1:29:08
  You didn't. They sounded the same.
• 1:29:09
  They sounded. The same I was growing up that
• 1:29:11
  they were Goyisha singers I'm from.
• 1:29:13
  Is that what the community were telling their kids at the time?
• 1:29:16
  For sure. When was big and they weren't
• 1:29:19
  Cobra? They were.
• 1:29:20
  But they wasn't the same basket as Kalba David and I'm from
• 1:29:23
  free. They were telling you when you
• 1:29:25
  were younger that they're going and like not.
• 1:29:26
  Going but they're we don't we don't we don't listen to their
• 1:29:29
  of it. We don't bring in in our houses
• 1:29:31
  their music. It's not from enough.
• 1:29:33
  Exactly. Yes, it's not considered.
• 1:29:34
  It's not heimish, so you have to.
• 1:29:35
  Sneak listening like sneak around listening to their.
• 1:29:38
  Music. I guess so, but my mother was
• 1:29:39
  from Australia. She didn't have this whole
• 1:29:41
  mindset. So at home we had whatever.
• 1:29:43
  But in the community, that's what they were.
• 1:29:44
  Yeah, and how did they were knew about the whole Schnitzler?
• 1:29:46
  You think, by the way, that's good.
• 1:29:47
  That's isn't that terrible? Because think about it, They
• 1:29:49
  were hiding that from their kids.
• 1:29:50
  And then they realized when they listen to it, this is what they
• 1:29:52
  were hiding for me. Oh my God, what else were they
• 1:29:54
  hiding from me, right? And that's what could have
• 1:29:56
  created a big bubble. That you know when.
• 1:29:58
  And people wouldn't know a difference between making a
• 1:29:59
  cotton the holler and, you know, doing a real what else like that
• 1:30:03
  exactly? They don't know the the
• 1:30:04
  different everything. Is the trust their parents lost
• 1:30:07
  their trust? Yeah.
• 1:30:08
  So that sionis was a big thing by us in Kitty.
• 1:30:10
  So remember that the the Medina Sionis sionis so and and then
• 1:30:15
  there's Lucian harder. Luciana is a big, big, big
• 1:30:17
  avida. God hates Lucian harder Lucian.
• 1:30:20
  Everybody speak Lucian. It's OK, but if you speak
• 1:30:22
  Hebrew, what's. The devil, Yeah.
• 1:30:25
  Who's the next big singer? Who's up and come?
• 1:30:27
  Who we watching out for? Who?
• 1:30:29
  Who do we need to be prepared? What I'm thinking if I say this
• 1:30:31
  a guy. No, I can see this.
• 1:30:33
  Why you do that. Anybody.
• 1:30:34
  Anybody in the Jewish world that's coming up that.
• 1:30:37
  I, I, I, I know and I'm thinking, I'm excited about.
• 1:30:39
  I don't know if. He's around the corner, is about
• 1:30:41
  to do big things. But I don't know if I don't know
• 1:30:43
  if it's people who are going to accept it.
• 1:30:44
  I can tell you I see, I I see people who are talented.
• 1:30:46
  I think they should have the opportunity.
• 1:30:49
  Yeah, I should name a guy. Yeah, his name is Rosenberg.
• 1:30:51
  Heidi Rosenberg. Yiddy Rosenberg.
• 1:30:54
  But he calls himself Hidey. I don't know Hidey, but his name
• 1:30:57
  is Edel. He's young.
• 1:30:59
  Yeah, he was. He played the music.
• 1:31:01
  He plays piano. He's.
• 1:31:02
  Absolutely in love with him. I call him the Jewish Elton
• 1:31:05
  John. I didn't even know.
• 1:31:06
  Yeah. So he has a lot of.
• 1:31:07
  Brand new though this. Has.
• 1:31:09
  A certain hidden talent he finds good talent and brings it to his
• 1:31:16
  forefront of the community. You know he's he's brought you
• 1:31:20
  to us in our community. I.
• 1:31:21
  Love, I love the community. And no, for real, he has.
• 1:31:24
  And he's, he's done it for Ellie Levin, even from years ago, who,
• 1:31:26
  by the way, Ellie gets a huge mozzle.
• 1:31:28
  Yeah, he got engaged. He got engaged.
• 1:31:29
  I'll talk. To you, Ellie.
• 1:31:31
  Very nice, very nice. Beautiful.
• 1:31:32
  And he's done it to other people as well, and he's doing it now.
• 1:31:35
  Tahiti. And I sat there and me and my
• 1:31:37
  friends were mesmerized. Wow, individual he is I agree
• 1:31:42
  with. You, I would love to see some
• 1:31:43
  clips. Michael, you have some clips
• 1:31:44
  you. Could I have clips we're going
• 1:31:45
  to share? Who's this guy?
• 1:31:46
  I see the clips of him, I see Instagram, I see different
• 1:31:49
  places. He has this very hoarse voice,
• 1:31:51
  just like this long pace. An interesting guy.
• 1:31:54
  He dances a lot and he moves and he's like, he looks wild, almost
• 1:31:57
  like he's out of control, like a rock'n'roll type of guy.
• 1:32:00
  Either Joey Newcomb or Zusha. No, no, none of those guys.
• 1:32:03
  No ball, though, not There's another guy who dances and yeah,
• 1:32:05
  yeah, he looks. He's a healthcare.
• 1:32:07
  Event and he also dance, break, dance and.
• 1:32:09
  Stuff he doesn't break dance he does like I don't know what his
• 1:32:12
  name. Is, I think, like he takes his
• 1:32:14
  shoes off. Yeah.
• 1:32:15
  Around the stage. Exactly.
• 1:32:16
  He break dances, and he was. There, I think Yankloo.
• 1:32:19
  Yankloo. That's it.
• 1:32:20
  Yankloo. That's the guy.
• 1:32:21
  He's also very. Talented, yeah, but I think he
• 1:32:23
  should be getting bigger than he is.
• 1:32:24
  I don't think he's getting. He's more.
• 1:32:25
  Entertainer. He's not very talented.
• 1:32:28
  He's talented as an entertainer. Yeah.
• 1:32:30
  Dumps around the hype. Half the job of singing.
• 1:32:33
  No, no, no. You have to have a special
• 1:32:34
  voice. Both.
• 1:32:35
  He doesn't have a special voice. That's right.
• 1:32:37
  He has a cool vibe. He knows all the songs, yeah.
• 1:32:40
  All songs, you know? Yeah.
• 1:32:41
  He's a cool vibe. You want him to hype any party
• 1:32:44
  he does. He's a, he's a good.
• 1:32:45
  He's an amazing, amazing. Yeah, Yankelu.
• 1:32:48
  I'm not putting him at a concert, you know, to on the
• 1:32:50
  lineup, but he's the kind of guy that you know you want to have
• 1:32:52
  at a bar mitzvah. Yeah, work the crowd.
• 1:32:54
  Work the crowd who do. You enjoy singing with.
• 1:32:56
  That's to me. That's what I've been thinking.
• 1:32:58
  Of oh, good question, so enjoying.
• 1:32:59
  I would love to sing with Omar Adam just to feel like, wow, I
• 1:33:02
  made it on a stage with Omar Adam.
• 1:33:03
  So I would enjoy that. Right, But you're asking more of
• 1:33:06
  like enjoy about Hassana? Harmony, you vibe well.
• 1:33:11
  Hershey Wein bigger. Hershey Wein bigger.
• 1:33:13
  Beautiful. Yes, yes.
• 1:33:15
  I guess if I have to sing together with somebody, I would
• 1:33:17
  choose to sing with a composer rather than with another fellow
• 1:33:21
  singer. But the composer, it's, you
• 1:33:23
  know, he sings it with a more depth and he always has
• 1:33:26
  different angles how he's singing it.
• 1:33:28
  Then he knows the song better. He knows how to harmonize.
• 1:33:31
  When it's two singers, everybody wants to get that viral moment
• 1:33:34
  right and everybody doing each. Other exactly you don't want to
• 1:33:37
  share the stage. Exactly.
• 1:33:39
  In the same time, you want to be respectful.
• 1:33:41
  In the same time you don't want to look.
• 1:33:43
  Like the spotlight you know you have.
• 1:33:44
  A We're all human. You know, you have a video on
• 1:33:47
  YouTube, It's got like eleven, 12 million views.
• 1:33:49
  Right. Maha broka Maha.
• 1:33:50
  Broka, was that your big song? Was that?
• 1:33:53
  Yeah, that's your biggest song to date.
• 1:33:55
  Probably well would be a big song, but the biggest video and
• 1:33:59
  the most ground I've gained with the young people I would I think
• 1:34:03
  great. Song, by the way.
• 1:34:04
  He. Came up.
• 1:34:06
  With that song. So he wrote the whole thing.
• 1:34:07
  No. So it started out, It started
• 1:34:10
  out, it started out and then it says, you know the song.
• 1:34:21
  Sure. And then it went.
• 1:34:29
  It got, it evolved and it evolved.
• 1:34:31
  And one interesting anecdote is the word, the trivia, whatever
• 1:34:35
  the word is. While we were composing this
• 1:34:37
  song, we didn't know what we're doing.
• 1:34:39
  And I took a selfie Instagram, I put it out and a few days later
• 1:34:47
  she tells me that you know that. And that guy guy in the business
• 1:34:51
  replied to him on a story like the seriously can't you like
• 1:34:57
  compose some quality music something of that mean were
• 1:35:00
  critiquing this Yeah like pooping it and this it's so good
• 1:35:05
  for me financially and that yeah I think I.
• 1:35:08
  Mean this was the first claim to fame for you?
• 1:35:10
  Really. And every kid knows the song.
• 1:35:12
  I mean every. A lot of adults, a lot of people
• 1:35:14
  know it. It's.
• 1:35:15
  A big, big song. Yeah, I got 11 million views.
• 1:35:17
  I guess, I guess it's not. That's by the way, not just
• 1:35:20
  Jews. That's that's got to be very
• 1:35:21
  diverse. Even in the second.
• 1:35:22
  To get that many views. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:35:24
  But to say it was my breakout moment when people got to know
• 1:35:26
  me, it was like when Bitcoin will reach a million, you know
• 1:35:30
  what I mean? A lot of people are going to
• 1:35:31
  come online, but the people came online.
• 1:35:34
  When you say the the breakout of fame came in 2015, I did a cover
• 1:35:39
  of a Yossi Green song and that's what that's when it became the
• 1:35:42
  change. I started taking from 11 to 1400
• 1:35:45
  and I found Naftali Schnitzer, the producer.
• 1:35:47
  I put out a video so nonchalant. So without any expectations, the
• 1:35:53
  whole band was 5 pieces. And years later I've Rumi
• 1:35:56
  Schreiber from Freilich would tell me that he wasn't bachlal
• 1:35:59
  attracted to do this clip because it wasn't an attractive
• 1:36:02
  band for him. He wants to put out a clip.
• 1:36:04
  Should be a big brass action and some strings and a percussion
• 1:36:08
  and a choir. That's a production.
• 1:36:10
  It wants to put out the front. By me it was 1 saxophone and
• 1:36:14
  then the band, the drum, the bass, the guitar and the keys.
• 1:36:17
  That's it. Nothing.
• 1:36:18
  And they had like, such a fart back in the day, like a jihad.
• 1:36:21
  Remember they had a big sign in the back of the band he just
• 1:36:25
  pulled. Our background jihad not just
• 1:36:27
  us, but anyways. That all the other bands in
• 1:36:29
  Israel, there was a thing to have a big fat, like a black
• 1:36:31
  schmalt in the back with writing.
• 1:36:33
  You remember it was a stage, another green screen.
• 1:36:35
  Yeah, they got rid of it. Yeah, so we had stand up
• 1:36:38
  comedian who were maybe one day very long.
• 1:36:41
  Maybe one I'm not ruling that I've never been about.
• 1:36:43
  No, never. But I'm not ruling it out.
• 1:36:45
  I think entertainment doesn't have to come just from music.
• 1:36:48
  It's a so it could be storytelling, stand up
• 1:36:50
  comedians. There's a lot of ways to
• 1:36:51
  entertain. A lot of ways, but I want to
• 1:36:52
  finish. What was I saying?
• 1:36:54
  So I did this cover from Reboin and now for me, Shabba says that
• 1:36:56
  he wouldn't put it out. So I did it.
• 1:36:58
  I didn't even think it's gonna go anywhere.
• 1:37:01
  I was just happy. I didn't even Mandy Hershka,
• 1:37:02
  which was was Freilich band. You never Mandy Hershka.
• 1:37:05
  So he so he doesn't work for Freilich.
• 1:37:06
  He has his own band now. But back then he was there and I
• 1:37:09
  I was scared to communicate with him.
• 1:37:11
  I there was a third guy named Yankee Faketa and he was like
• 1:37:14
  the roadie and I would talk to him and he's going to talk to
• 1:37:16
  Mandy. And he told me, don't worry,
• 1:37:17
  Mandy, he's a good guy. I was like so new and we put out
• 1:37:21
  this clip and it took off because it was it was organic.
• 1:37:25
  I wasn't trying to copy. I wasn't looking.
• 1:37:28
  I was just, you know, OK, I'm gonna put out a clip.
• 1:37:30
  This is what we're going to do. And it was the second time I did
• 1:37:33
  this song. I did it a few months before.
• 1:37:35
  And we prepared. I called the video guy, and
• 1:37:37
  there was a big band. Taka was in the palace with a
• 1:37:39
  choir. And I did this song.
• 1:37:41
  I wasn't feeling so good. And I scrapped it.
• 1:37:44
  And the video guy tells me, don't just go in the studio,
• 1:37:46
  redo it. And I said no, I needed to be
• 1:37:49
  organic the next class. And I was like, boy, me, it was
• 1:37:51
  Freylich was a small band. But I told Mandy, we're going to
• 1:37:54
  do it there. I called again, the multi angle
• 1:37:57
  his name is. He took the video was nothing
• 1:38:00
  big. We put it out.
• 1:38:01
  That was my first big break where everybody, especially in
• 1:38:04
  the business, were OK. There's new, something fresh.
• 1:38:09
  And Mukushnister was saying in interviews that would make me
• 1:38:12
  feel very good. Who always there's new singers,
• 1:38:15
  But you just asked me and he would say, Shmili Ungar, this
• 1:38:18
  guy stands out. Yeah.
• 1:38:19
  And I felt I would call him up and I would.
• 1:38:21
  Yeah. I felt so good when he said
• 1:38:23
  that. That's great validation.
• 1:38:24
  Chris Nester was considered to be a star.
• 1:38:27
  Especially by the Casita show. Especially the Casita show.
• 1:38:29
  He he was one of my favorite singers.
• 1:38:31
  He was growing up. When I listen to Jewish music,
• 1:38:33
  he by the way, I'll never forget his song.
• 1:38:37
  I Can't Sing it. I'm not even going to try.
• 1:38:39
  But the song that he made about the Pecola, you know, in the
• 1:38:44
  closet, if everybody would, you know, look at the world's
• 1:38:47
  problems, everybody would end up taking.
• 1:38:49
  Maybe, maybe tell the story for the audience.
• 1:38:50
  Tell, give, give a go, brush. A beautiful story, very
• 1:38:52
  beautiful. It's about this guy that's
• 1:38:53
  struggling, a guy that's having a really, really hard time and
• 1:38:55
  he's complaining and he's like, why do I have it so hard?
• 1:38:57
  Why do I have it so difficult? Why can't I just be like other
• 1:39:00
  people that have a lot easier than me and sometimes he's.
• 1:39:03
  Complaining to that app he's. A dream and he goes up.
• 1:39:05
  He doesn't have a dream. No, he goes to his app and he
• 1:39:07
  complaints. He complaints, right?
• 1:39:09
  Yeah. So that ever tells us.
• 1:39:10
  I don't know what? Come into my room in the back.
• 1:39:13
  I will show you a lot of backliff.
• 1:39:14
  OK, I was OK. That's basically a dream.
• 1:39:16
  I'm saying you. Know, yeah.
• 1:39:17
  I I think the rabbit had a closet with the world's problems
• 1:39:20
  in there. I guess it was a dream.
• 1:39:21
  I I was using it metaphorically. I was saying you're right, yes.
• 1:39:24
  All right, go ahead, go ahead. But yeah, I was just worried
• 1:39:27
  you're going to mess up. I don't want you to mess it up
• 1:39:29
  it. Would be exactly so good, almost
• 1:39:30
  messed. It up I'll be No, he has a.
• 1:39:33
  Dream, you know, he goes into this deep slumber, you know, and
• 1:39:37
  he, he, he beats his rebel over there and his rabbit says, look,
• 1:39:40
  I know you've been complaining to me a lot.
• 1:39:41
  Today is your lucky day. I'm actually going to take you
• 1:39:44
  to a room where they store all the world's problems and you're
• 1:39:48
  going to be able to choose. We don't let people normally do
• 1:39:51
  this, but you can choose what you.
• 1:39:52
  Want It's a lucky day. And he's like, wow, he's excited
• 1:39:54
  and, you know, and he goes into the into the room and he starts
• 1:39:57
  going through it. He starts, you know, going
• 1:39:59
  through each person's packages and seeing how this person has
• 1:40:02
  this kind of life where he has good things and he has bad
• 1:40:03
  things. I think I can do better than
• 1:40:05
  this. And then he goes, and by the
• 1:40:07
  time he finishes. He doesn't even realize he ends
• 1:40:10
  up picking his own life all over again.
• 1:40:12
  He ended up picking his own thing.
• 1:40:14
  Because at the end of the day, we always think the grass is
• 1:40:16
  greener on the other side. We really do.
• 1:40:18
  We really do. And we don't know what goes on
• 1:40:19
  behind closed doors. We only know about the things we
• 1:40:21
  see. What the other people let us.
• 1:40:23
  See what the other people? Let us see.
• 1:40:24
  Yeah, we see what the other people let us.
• 1:40:26
  See. Exactly.
• 1:40:26
  And that was a very big lesson. The Lexus that we started
• 1:40:30
  before. So I know when it's time to
• 1:40:32
  finish the party. Yeah, he.
• 1:40:33
  Made it again and with what you saw the story the.
• 1:40:35
  Song isn't the. Story that I heard about the
• 1:40:37
  Pakala that he was looking in this room and he saw all these
• 1:40:39
  kinds of bigs bags, small bags, white bags, black bags and but
• 1:40:42
  the chorus saw something a little small.
• 1:40:43
  He says that one, I want that one.
• 1:40:45
  It says this one, this is your package to begin with.
• 1:40:47
  But I will look again all this challenge.
• 1:40:49
  I'm sorry, how does the song go? That's a quiz.
• 1:40:51
  It's a long. Beeper song.
• 1:40:52
  It's a long song because it's. A story.
• 1:40:54
  I don't want to say 10 minutes. It's one of what's the tune?
• 1:40:56
  I don't know. You don't know the Pecola song.
• 1:40:58
  You speak a thing. Right, not really I.
• 1:41:00
  You could. Understand.
• 1:41:01
  I did it on Purim once for a day, yeah.
• 1:41:03
  I'll send you the song and then you can.
• 1:41:05
  I thought you're gonna start singing.
• 1:41:06
  It. Yeah, Yeah.
• 1:41:07
  I thought you're gonna start. Singing it for me.
• 1:41:09
  I Can't Sing it. I can't.
• 1:41:10
  Even though I don't know the words, I wouldn't, I don't know.
• 1:41:12
  I think testament to the success of this specific episode is how
• 1:41:17
  long the time has gone. I'm have missed calls from my
• 1:41:20
  personal instructor. Where are you?
• 1:41:22
  Where are. You tell you gotta go by that.
• 1:41:24
  I'm assuming it's then I'm afraid of it's my personal.
• 1:41:26
  I was gonna say I'm assuming it's not the first time you got
• 1:41:29
  missed calls, so it happens. It happens.
• 1:41:31
  No, but a double shift I moved. On like you never missed the gym
• 1:41:34
  before. I didn't, but I moved off the
• 1:41:35
  gym today so I can we can work out a pocket.
• 1:41:38
  He asked me. So I'll talk to Mike a little
• 1:41:39
  bit. But it's OK.
• 1:41:40
  It was a good schmizz. And if there's gonna be one
• 1:41:42
  person that's gonna go out and do their research on Bitcoin,
• 1:41:45
  I'm very serious. You're going to be the first
• 1:41:48
  millionaire in your family. You might be able to change a
• 1:41:50
  lot of things there. Don't ever sell it.
• 1:41:52
  Just keep it. Yeah.
• 1:41:52
  But it might not. It might not, you know, happen
• 1:41:54
  in the next 5-10. Years.
• 1:41:55
  No, you have to have a long time horizon, so you might not. 2040
• 1:41:59
  people ask me I should buy for them Bitcoin because they don't
• 1:42:01
  know the blah blah blah. So I take their money and I buy
• 1:42:04
  Bitcoin. I send them back a message you
• 1:42:05
  have by me 500,000 set. Very nice of you, but.
• 1:42:09
  Yeah, it is. It is.
• 1:42:10
  I think it is. And oh, and I write them back
• 1:42:12
  that you have me 500,000 bitcoins and you don't you don't
• 1:42:15
  ask it back until 2040. And if you ask me that before
• 1:42:19
  2040, you get half. Really.
• 1:42:21
  Yeah, because this is the I'm not trying.
• 1:42:22
  To make any money on this. Wow, I don't want to make if
• 1:42:25
  they're going to sell it before I'll be, I guess I'll make some
• 1:42:27
  of the sets. You know what you're learning.
• 1:42:29
  But also I'm I'm paying for all these transaction fees and when
• 1:42:32
  they're going to take it out, if there's going to be a tax, I'm
• 1:42:33
  going to be paying the tax. So it's all things together.
• 1:42:36
  I just want you to know, I don't know if a matter of place saying
• 1:42:38
  this, but your grandfather would be proud.
• 1:42:40
  You're making them your partner. You're forcing them to be in
• 1:42:42
  with you. Yeah.
• 1:42:42
  You're giving them something. You're paying it forward and
• 1:42:44
  you're paying it forward. Grandfather put you in business
• 1:42:47
  and started. But my grandfather saved cash,
• 1:42:50
  one of his biggest, biggest mistake.
• 1:42:52
  He would tell me, he would take me to the attic and would show
• 1:42:54
  me the the cash. And I never told this to
• 1:42:57
  anybody, not even for my family. He would show me boxes of cash
• 1:43:01
  of dollar bills and they were crumbling, they were falling
• 1:43:03
  apart, they were rotten. And he says, OK, this I can't
• 1:43:06
  use anymore. Wow, look what I have over
• 1:43:08
  there. He used to show me he used to
• 1:43:09
  collect stamps and he was a very big cash guy because in his time
• 1:43:13
  when he was growing up, cash was actually worth something.
• 1:43:15
  And he was always telling me like the like the like save,
• 1:43:18
  save cash, cash, cash. He wasn't even in the in the
• 1:43:21
  mindset of putting down a down payment of 100 grand and paying
• 1:43:24
  a mortgage. He said you save 500 grand and
• 1:43:26
  you get yourself the house. This was his mindset.
• 1:43:28
  So when it comes to business, he wasn't he doesn't have the mind
• 1:43:33
  that I have when it comes to business.
• 1:43:35
  For one thing, guy what was Mcgethered take 2250I don't
• 1:43:39
  share that mindset. Cash.
• 1:43:41
  I hate cash. I used to love it.
• 1:43:43
  I hate it when it came to buy my house and I I tell the guy she
• 1:43:46
  doesn't wasn't interested. I just want to see the numbers
• 1:43:48
  in the bank. I have to find a loan and I'm a
• 1:43:50
  tuna because Cash, Cash it was because.
• 1:43:53
  The government did a decent job with auditing so many people and
• 1:43:55
  then cash doesn't have value like it used to.
• 1:43:57
  So you pay cash for your construction and I'll give you
• 1:44:00
  50% cash, get a 10% reduction. You don't have that anymore.
• 1:44:03
  Everything is. Cash is like fish, I tell.
• 1:44:05
  Yeah, but I want to say one thing in the moment.
• 1:44:07
  I tell people cash is like fish, fish.
• 1:44:09
  The moment you kill it, it starts going bad.
• 1:44:11
  When you get paid in cash, you got to spend it because as soon
• 1:44:15
  as it's laying by you until the way to the grocery, it's getting
• 1:44:18
  devalued. It's true, Mama.
• 1:44:20
  Love your passion and your knowledge about Bitcoin.
• 1:44:22
  Yeah, and it was so much there's.
• 1:44:24
  So much, so much more to go. We're going to continue.
• 1:44:26
  Another I think this is our 42nd episode.
• 1:44:29
  Oh 42 I was going to add how you put a 2A week 3A.
• 1:44:32
  Week. Every week.
• 1:44:33
  You've been doing it to 42 weeks almost a year, July of because I
• 1:44:36
  started before you and I'm now up only to 50.
• 1:44:40
  Really. Yeah, do it every week.
• 1:44:41
  And once and once every two weeks, twice a month.
• 1:44:44
  We do once every week and it's our 42nd episode.
• 1:44:46
  All right. I think we only missed one week
• 1:44:48
  so far, which was the perm weaker.
• 1:44:49
  Perm. OK, that's good.

• 1:45:23
  My comment is just 42nd episode. He's like, that's not that's a
• 1:45:27
  good deal. 42 episodes in, this was my favorite episode.
• 1:45:33
  That's very nice, this. Really was because because this
• 1:45:36
  was very spontaneous. I did not see this coming.
• 1:45:38
  I got hit like a freight train. When you started talking about
• 1:45:41
  Bitcoin, I almost didn't want to hear you.
• 1:45:43
  Out. I know you would try to drive
• 1:45:44
  and he helped me, he said. He did he he kept me quiet and
• 1:45:48
  he kept me open minded to listening.
• 1:45:49
  But I was like, you're a singer, what do you know about Bitcoin?
• 1:45:53
  And I didn't want to listen. And then I'm so happy that I did
• 1:45:56
  because I actually learned something today in a really big
• 1:45:58
  way. I learned means a lot to me.
• 1:45:59
  And you also explained it in a very simple fashion.
• 1:46:02
  I did that. I was able.
• 1:46:03
  To. I always think that I'm not, so
• 1:46:04
  no. You explained it really well.
• 1:46:06
  OK, you really I'm. Because I'm still learning.
• 1:46:08
  I have so many. When you told me, told me the
• 1:46:09
  opposite. I said OK, what am I gonna do?
• 1:46:11
  And I still started. Yeah, you were great.
• 1:46:13
  You were great. And and I got to know you.
• 1:46:15
  I feel like a little bit got to understand your personality and
• 1:46:18
  who you are. If you Bobby it and I was almost
• 1:46:20
  related. We're probably all yeah, let's
• 1:46:23
  spend another 10 minutes. I probably.
• 1:46:24
