• 1:26
  Zeesh AKA Zach Mermelstein was on our podcast and the reason
• 1:31
  why I was excited towards the end, he opened up about
• 1:34
  something that I knew about, but I wasn't really 100% sure.
• 1:38
  And we spoke about his journey medically, I may add, of
• 1:43
  ayahuasca. And I'm, I'm super excited.
• 1:46
  And he's all dressed in white. Shaman all the way and we come
• 1:51
  in there, he does sage where he likes the wood and sages the
• 1:55
  room and it smells great and I'm like OK, what are we doing now?
• 1:59
  He tells me ayahuasca. I said OK, tell me about it.
• 2:02
  He goes finest stuff so of course only the best and he's
• 2:08
  mixing teas and cooking up stuff and chef now yesterday was the
• 2:12
  chemist today he said chef he's cooking up and he gives me this
• 2:18
  glass and takes out some ginger. They told me you're going to
• 2:22
  want this close right after you drink.
• 2:25
  It tastes like such crap that you're going to want to eat this
• 2:28
  real fast. And I said OK, what's a good
• 2:34
  whatever, you'll see it's me and a buddy and him and he drinks
• 2:38
  along in this day. So that was a good interesting
• 2:40
  question. This time he was participating
• 2:44
  and I drink 1 cup and we're all sitting on the floor and
• 2:49
  nothing. The other guy starts starts
• 2:54
  vomiting and starts you know crying and making noise and I'm
• 2:59
  like chilling. I got nothing and I tell the guy
• 3:02
  dude second round back around on the bus hearing brings me some
• 3:09
  more. He does.
• 3:10
  You're not getting any more than it's three O clock in the
• 3:14
  morning. I got nothing.
• 3:16
  Have the drink and pick ups of it and you know they call it in
• 3:21
  their language Mother ayahuasca and mother Earth and it's all
• 3:25
  part of that day. I said mommy's not letting me in
• 3:33
  and I take 1 and I lay down and he starts singing and all of a
• 3:46
  sudden my traumas from my dad, specifically all my negative
• 3:53
  feelings that I had for him for 45 years, bubbled up and turned
• 4:01
  positive almost. I saw him, I understood him, I
• 4:06
  appreciated him crying and I started to vomit and vomiting
• 4:12
  and that whole feeling and I knew what it was.
• 4:14
  It was clear it was like relationship with my dad and if
• 4:18
  you would have asked me what was the thing in my gut bothering me
• 4:22
  all the years, I would have said it was my mom's relationship.
• 4:26
  Wow. And in that, but not in a
• 4:28
  negative way, it didn't. It present itself as, you know,
• 4:34
  Dad screwed you. It was he used every tool he had
• 4:40
  and he was the best dad in the world.
• 4:42
  But what you were missing was his recognition and his love.
• 4:46
  My relationship with my dad after that quadrupled in such a
• 4:52
  real way. I understood him in another way
• 4:56
  the rest of the night. I had a weird trip where I had
• 5:00
  this vision of it was right when the Ukraine war started and they
• 5:07
  were talking nuclear. So I had this vision of the
• 5:10
  whole world that the first nuclear bomb going, and then
• 5:13
  it's just the reaction from the air, you know, where all the
• 5:16
  missiles are in the air at the same time.
• 5:19
  And then the whole world goes kaboom.
• 5:21
  And then I was just meeting all my friends in that realm.
• 5:26
  So that's where I was the rest of the night, just chilling in
• 5:29
  that. How?
• 5:29
  Long. After the work event, for how
• 5:31
  long did it take? So I'm telling you, for me, we
• 5:33
  started probably ten, 11:00 at night, but it didn't kick in for
• 5:37
  me till three, 4:00 in the morning and then by seven, 8:00
• 5:40
  I was home. So it's a whole night event.
• 5:42
  Generally, right, most people do it two or three nights in a row.
• 5:46
  When you go to the Amazon and you do it like they do it
• 5:50
  originally, it's usually a two or three night event where they
• 5:53
  serve multiple times. There's multiple.
• 5:55
  People, is it dangerous in any which way?
• 5:58
  I can't speak to that. I can't speak to the.
• 6:01
  Has anybody had very adverse effects when they take an
• 6:03
  ayahuasca? When people go back for more and
• 6:06
  more like anything else, like any other thing, if you take
• 6:11
  chemo and you don't need it, you're going to die from the
• 6:14
  chemo. And if you take a lot of chemo
• 6:16
  and you know you're going to die very fast from the chemo, is
• 6:18
  chemo dangerous? Is chemo?
• 6:21
  You know, it's like that. It's like any other drug that
• 6:24
  can be so you're. Comparing ayahuasca to a
• 6:26
  medicine. Absolutely.
• 6:28
  It's it's referred to as plant medicine and that's why when
• 6:34
  it's used in its correct form, it's the most healing.
• 6:37
  But I've seen so much abuse of it by the shamans quote, UN
• 6:42
  quote, pushing it for financial agendas.
• 6:47
  So I have to ask what led you then to wanting to do it,
• 6:49
  meaning a person listening to this podcast and understanding
• 6:53
  that Someone Like You who had such an interesting journey that
• 6:56
  went did ayahuasca, what are you telling them?
• 6:59
  Like when? When should you consider?
• 7:02
  Potential how do you know you were candidate right exactly
• 7:04
  Ayahuasca or when you stay away right?
• 7:08
  When it's coming from a place of brokenness and you're looking to
• 7:11
  fill a void with any drug, stay away.
• 7:16
  If it's coming because I'm so at loss.
• 7:19
  I don't know what to do with myself.
• 7:20
  That's going to just draw you in and you'll be back for more and
• 7:24
  more and more because you're not really healing your.
• 7:26
  So what happened? Differently with you.
• 7:28
  When I was on that journey, doing my meditations, reading
• 7:32
  the books, connecting toward reference and before all of
• 7:37
  this, this gave me clarity and definitely jump started and gave
• 7:42
  me, you know, rocket boosters in that whole mindset.
• 7:45
  It was more supplemental. For him, it was more
• 7:47
  supplemental, like you say, rocket boosters, but it wasn't
• 7:53
  something I needed or wanted. That night after that ayahuasca,
• 7:57
  I told my wife I'm never doing that again.
• 7:59
  You did it once, one time. You would never do it again.
• 8:03
  I would never say never, but I have no desire at this moment to
• 8:07
  do it again. I'm very.
• 8:10
  So it wasn't fun. It wasn't not at all.
• 8:12
  It wasn't memorable in a way that wow, that was a good time.
• 8:14
  We. Had no, no.
• 8:15
  The first thing I would tell you was the best trip ever.
• 8:18
  And if there's somebody, if there was one thing I'm not
• 8:20
  saying no. I'm scared of it.
• 8:23
  I respect it too much. I know what it's done for me
• 8:25
  with one and it's really given me like that, that clean slate,
• 8:30
  you know, to be able to listen and not try to fit everything I
• 8:34
  hear into those visions and feelings that I had growing up
• 8:39
  and judge every single thing that we hear.
• 8:42
  Does this fit into my my little box or does this not fit into my
• 8:45
  box? So who do you recommend should
• 8:47
  be doing? Who's the perfect candidate for
• 8:49
  this? What's the age of your life?
• 8:51
  At what point if somebody who's very connected or somebody who
• 8:54
  feels very good about themselves, this could enhance
• 8:56
  them? Like who is this for?
• 8:58
  Then who should be doing ayahuasca?
• 9:00
  Because I feel like there's a lot of generic people that are
• 9:03
  just doing this. Like they do it as an exercise.
• 9:05
  It was like an hobby. They just want to it should.
• 9:07
  Not be done recreationally. Not be done.
• 9:10
  Recreationally, it should not be done recreationally it should be
• 9:12
  done by people who are searching for more and feel like they're
• 9:15
  stuck in any which way. Go to somebody that's good, that
• 9:20
  knows that. We'll follow up with you
• 9:22
  afterwards. Biggest problem is that people
• 9:24
  are serving all over town, whether it's Williamsburg,
• 9:27
  Monroe, Lakewood, they're being, they call it serving in, in, in
• 9:32
  other drug language, they call it dealing here, they call it
• 9:35
  serving. But there are people serving in
• 9:37
  every from community that we have now everywhere, including
• 9:42
  Israel, everywhere it's being served to groups and groups of
• 9:48
  Hamisha and of people, every single.
• 9:51
  Week, Michael, we know someone, we know someone who does this.
• 9:55
  I think once a quarter they do it four or five times a year
• 9:58
  they do this and they do it with a big group of people.
• 10:01
  They do it with like 20 people in the room and it's a 2 day
• 10:05
  event. It's not a night thing, just for
• 10:06
  one night. It's for two days.
• 10:08
  And they swear by it, they and. And and.
• 10:10
  Living a very healthy life, right?
• 10:12
  Exactly, and they're searching. Constant journey of.
• 10:15
  If you're searching for more and it's true.
• 10:18
  'Cause that's sort of what I was asking, who's the right
• 10:20
  candidate for this? If you're in a place in your
• 10:23
  life where your cup is fairly full, meaning you're not out
• 10:27
  there, you can have your other vices.
• 10:29
  We all have our other vices to fill our other void.
• 10:32
  This is not a void filler. If you're looking to fill a void
• 10:36
  with this, stay away because it'll just suck you in and
• 10:39
  you'll be there. And then you're just going to
• 10:41
  become a real weirdo because you go into this trip and you, you,
• 10:45
  you leave this world. But if you're a healthy human
• 10:49
  being and you're searching for more and you feel like in your
• 10:52
  DNA, you're somewhat stuck at a plateau where I can't see more
• 10:57
  than this. I can't see more than myself.
• 11:00
  I can't see more than my day-to-day.
• 11:03
  I can't see that there's a capital I that when I do a
• 11:06
  mitzvah and I'm putting on the film, it's my lowercase on
• 11:09
  behalf of my capital and understand that there is a
• 11:12
  capital and that when we're doing things from spiritual
• 11:16
  practices, that is on behalf of a greater cause.
• 11:20
  And I want to learn more about that, that I have a class that I
• 11:24
  go to that teaches me. And this is an add on like you
• 11:29
  were saying, yes. But also helps you deal with
• 11:31
  trauma. Of course that's when it'll all
• 11:34
  come out. But if you're drilling from
• 11:35
  trauma to deal from trauma because you're as a therapist,
• 11:40
  I'm not qualified to talk which people that need therapy and
• 11:43
  which people it would benefit for.
• 11:45
  I don't know it's. A great background.
• 11:47
  I I just finish up this part of your journey, if you don't mind,
• 11:50
  because you, you took it, it was an experience, you never did it
• 11:53
  again. What changed?
• 11:55
  Everything, my vision of allowing things to unfold and
• 12:02
  realizing that everything is perfect at every moment and if I
• 12:05
  don't see it now, I will. That, like we said, connected to
• 12:11
  everything, attached to nothing. Tomorrow we can move away from
• 12:17
  each other because like the kaleidoscope, it always comes
• 12:20
  back. Those circles that spin, they
• 12:23
  just, you know, disconnect for a period of time, but they come
• 12:26
  back and that's really life. And really seeing the
• 12:30
  interconnectivity of everything was really mind blowing for me.
• 12:35
  Those colors, those shapes to me were really the
• 12:38
  interconnectivity of everything and seeing the perfectness of
• 12:41
  the Hashem Mihad of the one God in the world and the unity of
• 12:46
  the one God and seeing how the birds and the flowers are really
• 12:50
  one thing. Because without birds you
• 12:52
  wouldn't have, without bees, you wouldn't have flowers, and
• 12:54
  without flowers you wouldn't have bees.
• 12:56
  And realizing that systems like that I really want.
• 13:01
  And you keep going wider and wider with that.
• 13:04
  There's no end. And that was the experience I
• 13:06
  experienced. That was the feeling I felt and
• 13:09
  that's the experience I took out of it.
• 13:11
  Good for you. Good for you, Aziz.
• 13:14
  It's beautiful. I think this really brings it
• 13:16
  all together. It explains a little bit now
• 13:19
  more I have more clarity as to how you got here.
• 13:23
  Next up, we have Peter Tillem, an expert attorney who advises
• 13:26
  us on the rules and laws of gun safety.
• 13:29
  How important it is. Check it out, Peter.
• 13:31
  First, welcome to our show. Thank you.
• 13:33
  Thank you. I'm very.
• 13:34
  Happy to be here. It's such an honor to have you
• 13:35
  and I and like what she said, we feel safer having you in the
• 13:38
  room. And to be honest, this is the
• 13:40
  hottest topic now. My friends that are all around
• 13:43
  me started carrying and I'll I'll, I'll move it to you as she
• 13:48
  in your experience and what you're hearing.
• 13:50
  But I will leave you with this. The one thing that my friends
• 13:53
  tell me that go through the course, and especially the ones
• 13:56
  that have learnt from you on the legalities of carrying a weapon
• 14:00
  and the severity of the liability of having a weapon on
• 14:04
  you, is that if they're praying in a synagogue and God forbid
• 14:08
  something happens where someone comes in with a weapon and, you
• 14:12
  know, starts just drawing out his weapon and everybody's
• 14:16
  scared. You know what my friends who
• 14:18
  took Peter's class tell me? They say the first person we
• 14:21
  shoot is Ellie and Ari and Yossi, who didn't take a class,
• 14:25
  who don't know what they're doing, who are likely to kill
• 14:27
  others, and then we go after the terrorists.
• 14:30
  Have you heard that before? I have heard that.
• 14:32
  I have heard that, look, there's been a sea change over the last.
• 14:38
  I mean, this is generational change.
• 14:39
  But in the last five years, certainly since the pandemic,
• 14:43
  people's attitudes towards guns has changed, and especially in
• 14:47
  our communities in the Northeast where guns were not so accepted
• 14:52
  beforehand, they've more widespread, more accepting of
• 14:56
  people with guns. And now certainly normal people.
• 15:02
  Everyday people are applying for gun licenses at at unbelievable
• 15:05
  rates. Yeah.
• 15:06
  Well, Peter, I'm one of those guys.
• 15:08
  OK, OK. And I think you're right.
• 15:10
  The landscape has completely tilted in the last three to five
• 15:14
  years. You know, 10 years ago, somebody
• 15:16
  who had a gun in their house, it was an anomaly.
• 15:19
  So what do you need a gun for? What are you doing?
• 15:20
  It's dangerous. But now today, it's almost like
• 15:24
  a necessity. It's almost the opposite.
• 15:26
  You don't have a gun in your house like you do.
• 15:28
  You know what's going on in the world today and especially since
• 15:31
  October 7? That's what really, really just
• 15:34
  gave me the indication it's time.
• 15:36
  It's time. You know, you can't sit here and
• 15:39
  rely on the government, rely on the local police force.
• 15:42
  It's great shore, but every person wants to protect their
• 15:44
  family. And at that moment it hit home
• 15:46
  for me and I said it's time I got to do something about it.
• 15:49
  So I went and I applied and I started taking the courses and
• 15:53
  I'm happy to say that eight months later, I now have a
• 15:56
  concealed carry permit. I have not yet purchased my own
• 15:59
  gun, which I'm going to hope that you're going to help me
• 16:01
  out, Peter, to decide what's a good fit for me, you know, but I
• 16:04
  haven't yet done that. But I got my card.
• 16:06
  I have my permit. So I'm, you know, I'm, I'm a
• 16:09
  step ahead and a lot of people in my community as well have
• 16:12
  also taken upon themselves to get their permits.
• 16:15
  And you're right, more people in synagogues carry makes everybody
• 16:19
  feel safer. Absolutely.
• 16:20
  And I think that this has really become a very hot topic and this
• 16:23
  has really been brought to the forefront because of what's
• 16:25
  going on in the world. When I met my wife and I came
• 16:28
  from Brooklyn with a handgun, and her response was, what are
• 16:33
  people going to say if they find out that you have a gun?
• 16:36
  I don't want a gun in our house. You know, people will be
• 16:39
  shunned. People won't let the kids play
• 16:41
  in our house. And that was the stigma in the
• 16:44
  Northeast. And so, yes, I think that the
• 16:48
  that that COVID was a big breaking, right?
• 16:51
  People looked at the situation and said, I didn't know basic
• 16:54
  government services could just shut down in the 21st century in
• 16:58
  the Northeast, right? How could that happen?
• 17:00
  And so that's one thing. And I was in Israel in January,
• 17:07
  and I visited a lot of these communities that were that were
• 17:11
  targeted, that were victimized by Hamas.
• 17:14
  And I spoke to people who didn't have guns in the house, who
• 17:17
  survived. And they, one guy told us he
• 17:19
  called the police, he picked up the phone, the lines were down.
• 17:22
  And there was no one. There was no help.
• 17:25
  And so people are starting to understand that you are your own
• 17:29
  first responder. You have no choice.
• 17:32
  And that all happened at the same time that the Supreme Court
• 17:35
  reminded us in 2022, in June of 2022, in the Bruin decision,
• 17:40
  that not only are you your own first responder, but you have a
• 17:45
  constitutional right to be your own first respond.
• 17:48
  Because the Supreme Court told us that not only do you have a
• 17:50
  right to have a gun, you have a right to carry that gun outside
• 17:53
  the home. And that that right is not for
• 17:56
  hunting or some some sporting purpose, but to defend yourself
• 18:00
  for for self-defense. And so that was a really
• 18:04
  landmark decision that really opened up gun ownership and and
• 18:08
  and gun possession to a broader range of people than it ever had
• 18:13
  that opportunity before. So you believe that's very well
• 18:16
  articulated, by the way, You believe that every single
• 18:19
  citizen, every common person, the average person should have a
• 18:23
  gun lying around their house to protect their family.
• 18:26
  I think our country was founded on that principle.
• 18:29
  And if you look at our country in particular, right, nobody
• 18:35
  Native Americans who were here before we got here, but no one
• 18:39
  else was born here, right? All of us are from people that
• 18:45
  took great journeys across great oceans to or walk great
• 18:50
  distances to come to this country.
• 18:52
  We are a selection of the most adventurous, the bravest, the
• 18:56
  the most fearless. And so this is what America is
• 19:00
  about. And this is this is our American
• 19:02
  stuff. We are the people that didn't
• 19:05
  stay behind. Next up, we have the wonderful
• 19:07
  Faggy Morgenstern, our first female guest.
• 19:10
  What an amazing podcast this was.
• 19:12
  Check out these highlights. I'm excited today because we
• 19:14
  have my very good friend Faggy Morgenstern here with us.
• 19:17
  But I just did a LinkedIn Live Today talking about sales and I
• 19:20
  was on with someone named Nathan from a Ploy and he is their
• 19:23
  director of sales. He's the strategy behind all
• 19:26
  their sales. And what he said to me was if
• 19:28
  you're only going to do 10 phone calls a day, that you're giving
• 19:32
  yourself a lot of time in between each one of those calls
• 19:36
  for anxiety, right? So you know, you're going to
• 19:38
  make cold calls today, but you're going to say, OK, I'm
• 19:40
  going to call these 10 people today.
• 19:41
  And what you're doing is you're filling up your schedule with
• 19:43
  just so few. So in between each call, your
• 19:46
  anxiety is kicking in. And I felt like during PPE,
• 19:48
  during that world, the reason why I had less anxiety while the
• 19:52
  world was sharing their common theme of anxiety is because we
• 19:55
  were just having hundreds and hundreds of people that we were
• 19:58
  helping throughout the day. We didn't let a minute go by
• 20:01
  without saying, OK, let's help the next person.
• 20:02
  Of course we made money through the process, but.
• 20:04
  There was so much going on, like we probably needed to be
• 20:08
  reminded to be showered some point some of the days because
• 20:11
  it was like literally we spent what, 14-16 hour days sometime
• 20:14
  and like you have to remind me like, OK, I think it's time for
• 20:17
  you to go home, you know? Yeah, we could do an entire
• 20:19
  episode just about the PPE process and Co.
• 20:22
  And everybody at PPE time was either buying or selling like
• 20:27
  everybody that we knew anybody like people that have no
• 20:30
  relevance to healthcare. I know, right?
• 20:32
  That was the crazy. They were selling something.
• 20:33
  They were selling the mask, they were selling, you know, the
• 20:35
  canine. All of a sudden they knew all
• 20:37
  the guidelines and they knew which everybody was the experts.
• 20:40
  All of a sudden they knew all the protocols and everybody was
• 20:43
  buying and selling and and negotiating.
• 20:46
  And transacting and then you find out it's a 14 year old in a
• 20:50
  WhatsApp chat. Like what's going on here?
• 20:53
  Yeah, yeah. And also everybody were, you
• 20:55
  know, millionaires and, you know, they had endless amounts
• 20:57
  of funds to, you know, invest and to buy, you know, crazy
• 21:00
  amounts of stockpiles. And by the way, a lot of people
• 21:02
  got left holding the bag because of it.
• 21:04
  They didn't exactly know what they were doing.
• 21:05
  The proof of funds that. We're going.
• 21:07
  Oh my. God, I think that one of the
• 21:08
  things that made us successful is that the first second I would
• 21:11
  pick up the phone. My my instant reaction would be
• 21:13
  is two questions. Number one is, are you a broker
• 21:17
  and #2 is do you have the goods on site?
• 21:20
  Right. Those are the those are the two
• 21:21
  things that made us different is 'cause we were dealing with
• 21:23
  things that hospitals needed product.
• 21:25
  Anyone promises that was coming next week from China.
• 21:27
  Yeah, right. So that that was a very
• 21:30
  fascinating. Do you remember how we had the
• 21:32
  gowns show up and we would try them on see like we we'd have to
• 21:35
  have them pass through tests right ourselves, right we.
• 21:37
  Would they actually understand we had a lab internally?
• 21:40
  Yeah, we. Were you know who really dropped
• 21:42
  the ball during this time? Our government.
• 21:46
  The government did such a poor job in managing this crisis.
• 21:49
  When it came to PPE, you saw first of all, how underprepared
• 21:52
  they were. They were clearly caught off
• 21:54
  guard. They did not have enough
• 21:56
  emergency stockpiles anywhere. But even without the emergency
• 22:00
  stock, they didn't galvanized quick enough.
• 22:02
  They didn't get the cavalry going.
• 22:04
  Like they were almost like deer in headlights is what they were.
• 22:08
  They were confused. They basically have to rely on
• 22:11
  the private sector to get things going.
• 22:14
  And it's only because of the private sector that we survived
• 22:16
  during that time and that we were able to get things, you
• 22:19
  know, circulated and supply was made available.
• 22:22
  And it's just a scary thing to think about that you can't
• 22:24
  ultimately rely on the government.
• 22:26
  Like you cannot rely on them. When when you know, blank hits
• 22:30
  the fan. Are you going to like trust
• 22:33
  yourself and your friends and the people immediately, you
• 22:35
  know, around you or are you going to trust your local
• 22:37
  government, the federal government?
• 22:39
  Absolutely not. What I took away from this is
• 22:42
  that every man for themselves, at the end of the day,
• 22:44
  everybody's got to fend for themselves and everybody's got
• 22:47
  to have a plan. That's where I'm a big fan of
• 22:49
  small government. We don't need the big
• 22:50
  government. We need them just to manage what
• 22:52
  we need them to do, right? The basics, you know, they got
• 22:55
  to collect taxes. We got to circulate the money
• 22:57
  for social programs. I get it, But limited, very
• 23:00
  limited because at the end of the day they don't do as much
• 23:02
  for us. I have to tell you, I went.
• 23:05
  While you're speaking, I'm thinking to myself, even your
• 23:07
  closest of friends, you have to fend for yourself.
• 23:11
  If push comes to shove at the end of the day and you're
• 23:14
  underwater and you have a friend of yours and you're both
• 23:17
  drowning, God forbid you need to step on him to get up and he's
• 23:21
  going to need to step on you to get up.
• 23:22
  And it's a fight till the death, literally.
• 23:24
  So it's like, I feel like that's what everyone went through
• 23:26
  through that process of feeling. You have really have to fend for
• 23:28
  yourself. You have to make decisions of do
• 23:30
  I get shots? Do I give my children shots?
• 23:33
  Do I, do I have valid ID cards? I mean that was.
• 23:35
  That was insane. Like to have the immunization
• 23:37
  cards to go anywhere. Think about the grocery stores
• 23:40
  in regards to like people hoarding the way they have.
• 23:42
  Like people were really fending just for themselves.
• 23:44
  Next up, we have the superstar Ellie Roe, pilot extraordinaire,
• 23:49
  Medic. The guy does it all.
• 23:51
  Check out our highlights, Ellie. There are so many titles and
• 23:55
  accolades that I can give you and I wouldn't even know where
• 23:58
  to begin, but I could say one thing.
• 24:00
  You're not only my friend, you're everybody's friend.
• 24:03
  The fact is that I was at that Kaverim get together and was
• 24:07
  witnessing while everybody was thanking each other for the year
• 24:11
  that they spent when they have that get together, when Yossi
• 24:13
  Margaret and got that call and just watching things happen from
• 24:17
  the background is I think what Oshi was mentioning earlier.
• 24:21
  Thank you again, of course, for Prime Source for sponsoring this
• 24:24
  one I'm going to mention is sponsored by Hatsala ear cuz
• 24:27
  like I said to you earlier, Ellie, whatever I could do at
• 24:30
  least with my time to help this wonderful organization.
• 24:33
  I am going to do including explaining to everyone why
• 24:37
  Hatsala is spelled so differently all over the world.
• 24:41
  I'm going to get this message out there.
• 24:43
  I'm going to help you. That's my commitment here on the
• 24:45
  on this program. There is a little bit noise
• 24:47
  behind us from time to time because we are on the tarmac
• 24:51
  literally surrounded by these beautiful planes.
• 24:55
  So again, I just want to thank you for allowing us this
• 24:58
  opportunity. Where did you fly from?
• 25:00
  What was the we? Flew from New York to pick up a
• 25:03
  crew in Florida. We flew from Florida to Houston
• 25:07
  to pick up a patient. And we flew from Houston to the
• 25:11
  name of this town. Have you ever heard of Gaia
• 25:13
  Kill? No, in Ecuador anyway.
• 25:15
  So we flew with two doctors on board to Gaia Kill in Ecuador
• 25:19
  and, and he was quite, quite critical.
• 25:22
  He was, he was in bad shape. So I just remember we had to do
• 25:28
  some what's called duty rest because the way it works is in a
• 25:33
  14 hour pilot day, you have a maximum of 10 hours of flying
• 25:40
  that you can do. So it's typically it's 1/2 an
• 25:42
  hour, what we call duty on, I'm sorry, an hour duty on, 1/2 an
• 25:49
  hour duty off. So now your day is 12 1/2 hours
• 25:52
  of that you can actually do flying time, log flying time, a
• 25:55
  maximum of 10 hours. So we, the crew flew from New
• 25:59
  York to Fort Lauderdale to pick up the medical crew.
• 26:02
  That was about 2 1/2 hours from Fort Lauderdale to Houston to
• 26:06
  pick up the patient. That was about two hours.
• 26:08
  We're now at 4 1/2 hours and it was about four hours and 45
• 26:12
  minutes to go from Houston. MD Anderson, this famous Center
• 26:17
  for people with never really horrific illnesses and, and we
• 26:22
  flew him to Ecuador, South of the equator.
• 26:25
  Now it was Arif Tishuva, meaning the day before Tishuva that this
• 26:30
  happened. I was there, not one of the
• 26:33
  pilots, one of the medical crew, together with Doctor Grushko,
• 26:36
  who's the chief of cardiology and electrophysiology at I think
• 26:39
  Einstein and Jacobi, 2 fabulous centers.
• 26:42
  You got this guy. Who?
• 26:45
  Could be billing himself out of thousands of dollars an hour.
• 26:48
  And look what he's doing. He's flying from New York to
• 26:51
  Florida to Houston to Ecuador on a Sunday instead of being with
• 26:57
  his family, right? What day was was Tisha of Monday
• 26:59
  night? Yes, it was Monday night.
• 27:02
  So this was a whole Sunday. He gives up.
• 27:04
  OK, now we get to Ecuador. We arrived at 3:00 in the
• 27:08
  morning. We're out of time.
• 27:11
  So we go to sleep in a local Hilton in Ecuador and I have to
• 27:14
  worry about my crew, right? They're telling us don't leave
• 27:18
  the plane without security and don't be driving around local
• 27:21
  town. So the son of the patient
• 27:23
  arranges us armed guards with a motorcycle in the front and and
• 27:29
  a vehicle that follows us. And we're now in this Gaia kill
• 27:33
  this community in Ecuador. Now Long story short, we wait
• 27:38
  our duty rest time to go to sleep.
• 27:42
  We find the only Shoal in town we Dobbin and we head back to
• 27:47
  Florida. Well when we get to Florida
• 27:49
  there was a line of customs. Now we're not we don't have
• 27:51
  priority flying because we're not medevac anymore with a
• 27:54
  patient. We're just a regular airplane.
• 27:57
  We come back and we land at about 6 O clock and we end up
• 28:01
  waiting for customs CVP officers an hour.
• 28:06
  So we don't leave the airport until 7 something.
• 28:09
  We're thinking we're going to eat like we're going to stuff
• 28:12
  our face before tissue up. We leave the airport at 7
• 28:15
  something and we just couldn't. We're like no restaurants are
• 28:21
  open, no food. So there's this really fun guy.
• 28:25
  His name is rebel Hanan Galbit. We call him rebel Hanan.
• 28:28
  He's he's also known to to to our friends as Eric Galbit.
• 28:32
  We're like I. Know him well.
• 28:33
  You know Eric from from Florida. Wonderful human.
• 28:35
  Being well, like Eric, we just touched down to get a call.
• 28:38
  We would have flown back to New York, but we have to get AFA.
• 28:42
  So we arranged this whole thing that we'd be able to eat a meal.
• 28:45
  Hashem had other plans. We hadn't really had anything
• 28:48
  real to eat in two days, and now we're going to have a big meal
• 28:52
  before Tish evolved. Long story short, at this, you
• 28:56
  didn't even ask a question. I don't even know why I'm
• 28:58
  telling you. No, this is better.
• 28:59
  The podcast hasn't even started. So now you understand this is
• 29:02
  about. This is like.
• 29:03
  I'm talking about like how hungry I was.
• 29:06
  I'm still feeling that. Like as I'm talking, my mouth is
• 29:08
  salivating. I'm thinking give me a good
• 29:10
  pastrami sandwich or something, right?
• 29:12
  Now, did Eric come through? Well, anyway, so we call Eric.
• 29:14
  He's like, should I meet you halfway?
• 29:16
  We're like, no, no, we're going to get there anyway. 7 I don't
• 29:20
  remember the times you can look them up, but I think it was 758
• 29:23
  was the last time we could eat 756.
• 29:26
  We pull in front of his car and we're like racing in and this
• 29:30
  guy is a rock star. He set up next to each seat.
• 29:33
  There were four of us next to each seat.
• 29:35
  He set up as much as you could. So I had the salmon seat and I
• 29:38
  think he set up like 5 pieces of salmon for, I don't know, me and
• 29:42
  four other people, but I had all 5 pieces of salmon in 120
• 29:46
  seconds together with some water, together with some egg
• 29:49
  and that was it. And then we went into tissue
• 29:52
  rope and I shouldn't does the rest like normally I'm starving.
• 29:55
  I wake up with like this, this crazy headache.
• 29:58
  I shouldn't just figured it out. Those five pieces of salmon and
• 30:02
  I was totally good. The whole tissue rope.
• 30:04
  So that's our life. Our life is Seattle, the Shmaya.
• 30:06
  In every single step of the day, everywhere we go, no matter
• 30:10
  what, it's all Seattle, the shrine.
• 30:12
  Well, you know, you're giving a lot of credit for Seattle, the
• 30:14
  Shmaya, which is very nice. I can appreciate that.
• 30:17
  But. You don't know him as well as I
• 30:18
  do, Yeah. I, I you don't know him?
• 30:21
  But you have to give yourself a little.
• 30:22
  Bit more. I spend a lot.
• 30:23
  Wait. I spend a lot more time close to
• 30:25
  him than you do, right? That's true.
• 30:26
  So I know him better. I give a lot of credit.
• 30:28
  Because he deserves a lot of credit.
• 30:29
  But can we also take a moment to recognize what what you're doing
• 30:31
  and your crew, what they're doing?
• 30:33
  I mean, this story that you just said, I mean, I I'm like a
• 30:36
  regular person. I'm a normal guy.
• 30:39
  This is like for me, foreign language.
• 30:41
  I don't know what you just said. Like this is probably something
• 30:43
  you do all the time. And you're saying, I'm like,
• 30:46
  yeah, it was a shot to the schmiders.
• 30:47
  I'm like blown away over here. I'm like, wait a second, like
• 30:50
  what's happening? What's going on?
• 30:52
  How do you like, how'd you even like come to this?
• 30:55
  Like, how did this all happen? Like this?
• 30:57
  This is like this is unbelievable.
• 31:00
  Next up we have Akiva and Haim, 2 superhero combat soldiers
• 31:04
  fighting on our behalf in Israel.
• 31:07
  They didn't have to fight this war, but they chose to.
• 31:09
  Check out the highlights. Oshie, I saved the word
• 31:12
  incredible for this podcast. I've never used it before.
• 31:14
  From what I understand, it's worthy that you saved it for
• 31:17
  this moment, yes. So I'm anticipating this to be
• 31:20
  an incredible. Well, it is, and it's because
• 31:22
  I'm here with two incredible people and we're going to
• 31:25
  introduce you in a moment, Haim and Akiva.
• 31:28
  But before I do, I just want to mention, and I've said this
• 31:31
  before, anyone who teaches me something, I call them a rabbi.
• 31:34
  People say, hey, don't call me a rabbi.
• 31:35
  You taught me something. You're a rabbi to me, someone
• 31:38
  serving in the Israeli army, specifically a soldier.
• 31:41
  I don't care to what capacity. You are my hero, and you are
• 31:44
  incredible people. Thank you so much for joining
• 31:47
  us. We are joined by Chi and Misels
• 31:49
  and Akiva Shapiro. I said, take me to the point
• 31:51
  where you're like, I'm going to the Israeli army.
• 31:53
  And a little bit about your background, who you are, but
• 31:55
  let's straight to the like. I keep a go for it.
• 31:59
  Because I went first you go, you go.
• 32:03
  I'm, I went to Yeshiva N David, 60 guys, two guys without visas.
• 32:08
  Somebody did come knocking saying who are the two guys
• 32:11
  without visas, join or go home. So I went home.
• 32:16
  Now I'm like, maybe I should go. So I got back on a plane the
• 32:19
  next year, went right to the drafting office which got a
• 32:23
  goose went in. Wow, that's all because you
• 32:27
  didn't have a visa. It's all because I.
• 32:29
  Didn't have a visa. Now I was born in Aristotle so
• 32:32
  I'm Israeli by birth and figured if at any point I wanted to go
• 32:37
  back and live there, get it out of the way now.
• 32:41
  Wow, I'm done. I don't understand.
• 32:43
  So you were born in Israel, but you lived here pretty much your
• 32:46
  whole life? My mother made aliyah when she
• 32:47
  was 16. My father graduated undergrad,
• 32:51
  was traveling Europe, and decided to go through Israel.
• 32:54
  On his way, my parents locked eyes.
• 32:56
  Somewhere here I am, but they were in Israel at the time, so I
• 33:01
  was born. There, right?
• 33:02
  So the minute you're born in Israel.
• 33:03
  Yeah, but he's a you're an American citizen also.
• 33:05
  Dual citizen. Yeah, dual citizen, right.
• 33:07
  So you didn't have a visa. What does that mean?
• 33:09
  You didn't have a visa. Because I have an Israeli
• 33:11
  passport, so I can go in and out of Israel with my Israeli
• 33:13
  passport. You don't need a student visa.
• 33:16
  So when you were there for Yeshiva?
• 33:17
  Easiest calculation. 58 guys with, two guys without.
• 33:21
  There is no sorting. You know exactly you're going
• 33:23
  to. The other guy didn't want to go.
• 33:25
  He hired somebody. I think he doused himself in
• 33:28
  alcohol, urine, this that and they wouldn't take him.
• 33:31
  Oh, is that a move? Apparently it was.
• 33:33
  A move? Oh, pay attention to Kharidi
• 33:35
  people in Israel. Just doused yourself.
• 33:37
  You weren't allowed to leave the country.
• 33:39
  You couldn't leave Israel. I wasn't they they didn't want
• 33:42
  me to stay if I didn't go join the army as a citizen, Every
• 33:46
  citizen joins the. Army interesting.
• 33:49
  Wow. You mean every citizen should
• 33:50
  join the Army? Next we have Ryan Seager, a
• 33:53
  nursing home operator who's been around since the 70s.
• 33:56
  He could have retired years ago, but he chose to continue on in
• 34:00
  his stellar operations, making a difference in everyone's life.
• 34:04
  It's not every day you get to sit with a legend, someone who
• 34:07
  was considered the OG in the industry.
• 34:09
  Someone who could tell us what was the nursing home industry
• 34:12
  like before I was born. I'm sorry to put an H on you,
• 34:16
  but introducing RIP Ryan Seager. OK, I'm.
• 34:21
  I started the my job as a bookkeeper in the new Vanderbilt
• 34:26
  nursing home in 1974. Wow, that's Mr. Schoen.
• 34:29
  Yes, Mr. Shawn. Henry Shawn.
• 34:31
  No, no, his father-in-law was the owner, Mr. Heisler.
• 34:35
  And from bookkeeping slowly I learned the business and so
• 34:40
  forth and so on. And my father name was Michael
• 34:44
  Tenenbaum, and he had several nursing homes and.
• 34:48
  The famous Michael Tenenbaum. And, and actually he saw
• 34:53
  something in me that I didn't know I have to be an
• 34:56
  administrator. So he made me take a course
• 35:00
  which you had to those days, it needed only a high school
• 35:04
  diploma and I had a high school diploma and I went to take the
• 35:10
  course, 100 hour course. And then I took the test.
• 35:15
  Actually, the first Test I failed, yes, not sorry to say,
• 35:19
  because of all those people who failed tests.
• 35:22
  Don't feel bad, it happens. It happens to all of us and and
• 35:26
  the future could be even better. So the the second time I took
• 35:31
  the test, I passed and I became an administrator.
• 35:35
  So we had a nursing home called Leiden Nursing Home and I became
• 35:39
  the administrator at the age of 22.
• 35:42
  Wow, that's very young. Yeah, it's young, but the right
• 35:45
  people do it when they're young too.
• 35:48
  Anyway, so the story is I was administrative and I definitely
• 35:53
  didn't feel comfortable being an administrator of a nursing home
• 35:57
  at 22, but I had good people. I hired good people, good book
• 36:03
  bookkeeper and good DNS. Every department, at least I had
• 36:07
  that talent to pick out who's good or not.
• 36:10
  And we worked out a good 15 years.
• 36:14
  We ran, lied nursing and we did quite well.
• 36:20
  Then all of a sudden the regulations started to change
• 36:25
  and became more stricter and I was grandfathered in because my
• 36:31
  rooms were like 80 square feet and they needed 100 square feet
• 36:35
  for a room. And driving to work one day I
• 36:38
  soar two blocks down a nursing home going up.
• 36:43
  From scratch for a building A. Branch at 280 beds facility
• 36:48
  figure 280 beds a brand new facility, but the new
• 36:53
  regulations and everything. How can I compete with 120 bed
• 36:57
  old nursing home? So I did my research and I found
• 37:01
  out that these people who I know are building next, you know,
• 37:06
  three blocks away. So the first thing I did and
• 37:09
  have a meeting with them. So you learn in business, you
• 37:14
  don't show your vulnerability, how much you need it.
• 37:20
  So I was playing a little bit hardball and so forth till I
• 37:23
  came up with this idea. I'm going to sell this nursing
• 37:27
  home real estate and transfer 120 patients.
• 37:32
  The first day I opened up. So you don't start off with
• 37:36
  seven patients and build it up and you have to pay rent and
• 37:39
  your costs are going up. I started off with 120 patients,
• 37:44
  which was a big thing for them because they can only collect
• 37:48
  the full rent or only after 100 patient gun comes in.
• 37:52
  So I was a asset to them too and it worked out a good deal.
• 37:57
  And that's how we got this 280 bed facility.
• 38:02
  So we ran it for quite a few years.
• 38:05
  We filled it up and was everything was so so working out
• 38:09
  with the regulation. Later on my son-in-law took over
• 38:13
  and ran the there's some very good kept it going and I started
• 38:19
  to feel like I don't have to come in every day anyway.
• 38:23
  So we started to be like a semi retired.
• 38:26
  So we learned till 12 O clock and then I was a Uber driver for
• 38:30
  my wife the rest of the time. So with the time came in, my
• 38:35
  son-in-law, thank God turned in, went into dialysis and home
• 38:40
  health care. And after 15 years or 20 years
• 38:44
  working there, he said I can't do all three.
• 38:48
  It's too much to do the Alice in this.
• 38:51
  So I just listened to you. You did a good job while you
• 38:55
  were here and now I have to make a decision, hire administrator
• 38:59
  or take my old license and go back out of retirement was one
• 39:04
  of my best decisions that I made.
• 39:08
  First one was marrying my wife, but the second best decision was
• 39:11
  to go back to work. Next we have the legendary Nahi
• 39:16
  Gordon. He gives us not a meaningful
• 39:17
  minute, but a meaningful hour. Check out our meaningful minutes
• 39:21
  that we extracted. We have an amazing episode
• 39:24
  coming up today and I can't wait to introduce you.
• 39:27
  So I'm just going to go straight into it.
• 39:29
  Guys, take a look at who's here. I don't think you redhead.
• 39:33
  I don't even, by the way, the most softly spoken redhead I've
• 39:37
  ever met in my life. Really tell you yes, I think I'm
• 39:40
  just tired. I think I'm just, I think I Once
• 39:43
  Upon a time wasn't softly spoken and now media trained, you know?
• 39:46
  You know, I'm, I'm going to allow you to introduce yourself
• 39:48
  simply because I can't do that. I don't think you do that a lot.
• 39:51
  I think you're always the one that has to have other people
• 39:54
  introduce themselves. You typically like introduce
• 39:56
  your guests or do you let them introduce themselves?
• 39:58
  I. Like just recently, I just like
• 40:01
  jumping right in. It's just Incognito boom.
• 40:03
  Like most of them I guess don't even wanna hit record.
• 40:05
  Hmm. And like 10 minutes.
• 40:06
  Then they're like, oh, when are we starting?
• 40:07
  Like, oh, we started. Start.
• 40:08
  But guess what? We did that 10 minutes ago.
• 40:10
  Yeah, that's the way you know. That's the way to go, but.
• 40:13
  All the big podcasts, that's what they do.
• 40:14
  They just dive right into it. I.
• 40:16
  Mean so like if we were just like, you know, in a process of
• 40:19
  getting to know you, what would you say about yourself and how
• 40:21
  can you say hello? Yeah.
• 40:23
  Talk to the world tours to our fans, I.
• 40:25
  Wouldn't want to be 19. I don't know, that's too young.
• 40:27
  I feel like I want I'm more developed now and more freedom.
• 40:30
  I can do what I want for At 19 I was still struggling.
• 40:33
  I was still like trying to find myself.
• 40:34
  I'm. In my 40's, the 30s was the
• 40:37
  best, really the best decade. Right, I agree.
• 40:39
  Forward to Yeah, 30s are good. Not to look forward.
• 40:41
  To yeah I'm encroaching on 40 now and I'm not now.
• 40:44
  I'm nervous but 30s was my best 10 years.
• 40:46
  I just find that in my best get the more like foods I'm trying
• 40:50
  like. Yeah.
• 40:51
  Coleslaw becomes a thing. Caring.
• 40:54
  Hair I love. Coleslaw, not Sally Sherman
• 40:56
  coleslaw anymore. Now it's like the coleslaw from
• 40:58
  this guy. It's a Pickles from that guy
• 40:59
  that from this guy, right? It's.
• 41:01
  Like, yeah, yeah, I saw a great billboard the other day.
• 41:03
  You guys are business guys. You'd love this.
• 41:05
  It was an advertisement for Mayo, for mayonnaise.
• 41:08
  And it was a billboard that said cabbage without Mayo, coleslaw
• 41:13
  without Mayo is just cabbage. And I was like, that's so good.
• 41:16
  And then and it's just like it was an ad for Mayo and like,
• 41:19
  that's amazing. That's crazy that Mayo even
• 41:21
  needs to. Advertise Mayo.
• 41:22
  Like what do they advertise ketchup?
• 41:23
  How do they do ads or ketchup? Yeah, but they're like a
• 41:25
  universal staple, like mayonnaise and and Heinz
• 41:29
  ketchup. They don't need to.
• 41:30
  And they still do marketing. They still do it.
• 41:32
  Millions of dollars spent a year advertising for milk.
• 41:34
  I mean, this is like, you know. Got milk mustard?
• 41:36
  Got Milk has to be one of the best marketing campaigns ever,
• 41:39
  you know. I haven't seen it lately though.
• 41:41
  That's probably that should be analyzed.
• 41:43
  That's top ten of all time. It's a classic.
• 41:45
  It's a class Mayo. You can say happy Cinco de Mayo
• 41:48
  to people and put a bottle of Mayo in the sink.
• 41:50
  OK, that's. Not easy in your 40s.
• 41:54
  I'll let you go on Thursday. Exactly.
• 41:57
  So I yeah, I, I started out at a young age.
• 42:01
  I was in shoe frock way for high school.
• 42:04
  I mean, I grew up in the five towns.
• 42:05
  My father owns a newspaper. So media is like in the blood 5
• 42:09
  towns, Jewish times. Really.
• 42:10
  Yeah. So, you know, a lot of media, a
• 42:13
  lot of just, I guess I never thought that that was a weird
• 42:18
  job that he had. And it was always like press,
• 42:21
  right? So it's always hot stuff
• 42:24
  happening. I'm like, oh, this is normal.
• 42:26
  And I don't think it, I don't think it is.
• 42:27
  I think most parents are like insurance brokers or right or
• 42:30
  like sell real estate. Or leasing cars.
• 42:32
  Yeah, leasing cars, but at a young age, I, I think in high
• 42:37
  school I felt at some point I'm like, I'm wasting time.
• 42:39
  I was very, I think it was mature for my age and I think
• 42:43
  maybe I halted at some point in my maturity.
• 42:44
  So now I'm like stuck, I'm stuck, you know?
• 42:46
  But I, when I was a member in 1516 in high school, I'm like,
• 42:49
  there's no way I'm doing the whole high school like that.
• 42:51
  I'm not doing 4 years of this. Everyone else like running
• 42:54
  around having a great time. I'm just like, I just want to
• 42:57
  move on and start a career. And so I remember I had a tutor
• 43:03
  and I remember I called her at the end of 10th grade and I
• 43:06
  said, how about we finish everything at 11?
• 43:09
  And I don't do 12. And I'm the youngest of my
• 43:11
  family, the youngest of six. My parents are like, they had no
• 43:14
  idea where I was half the time. They were in Israel, Florida,
• 43:16
  they were travelling the world. I was like my parents, like
• 43:19
  Baksha, they're like 72 now. So I'm like really the youngest,
• 43:22
  youngest Benzacuna we know. So I'm like, I'm not going to
• 43:25
  finish at all. 11th grade. And that's what I did.
• 43:28
  Not a good student, really good tutor.
• 43:31
  Shout out Missus Katz. Really.
• 43:33
  You do it? She Yeah, she's like let's do it
• 43:35
  and and got. Permission from the school you
• 43:37
  got. Yeah, school didn't hear E
• 43:38
  diploma. I got you know I got my regions
• 43:40
  diploma. I got everything Yeah, I took I
• 43:42
  took like 5 regions. I know you could do that.
• 43:44
  I took my ACI took the ACTI took English region, I took Hebrew
• 43:47
  region, I took I took my signs or some.
• 43:50
  Children. Yeah, high school.
• 43:51
  No, I, I, you know, I'd say high school.
• 43:53
  I, like most people, should finish high school 'cause you'll
• 43:55
  have a great time in 12th. Grade, Michael, you finish high
• 43:57
  school. I did not.
• 43:58
  No, you didn't really. I didn't either.
• 44:00
  You guys, I don't have a. Diploma I don't have AGD not.
• 44:03
  That I was sent to Israel when I was 15 years.
• 44:06
  Old wow spent. My teenage years in Israel,
• 44:08
  That's weird. Look at us.
• 44:09
  Yeah, look at us. Exactly.
• 44:10
  That's. Awesome.
• 44:10
  What? What should we take away from
• 44:11
  this? Don't go to high school is that.
• 44:13
  No, no, I, I think we should take away from it as a as a
• 44:16
  parent, if your child has a idea of a unique, a unique way of
• 44:21
  accomplishing like. Buy into it.
• 44:24
  Yeah, they're on different paths.
• 44:25
  Exactly. There isn't just one conformity.
• 44:27
  You know you can. You can do different.
• 44:28
  Things like there there are valedictorians from when I was
• 44:30
  in high school that literally like I'm not obviously not say
• 44:33
  their names. I don't remember who they are,
• 44:34
  but I just look like they're they're they, they peaked right
• 44:37
  And and like they. Aren't decline.
• 44:40
  Yeah, like, you know, as a parent, like, don't worry if
• 44:43
  your kids not doing well in high school.
• 44:45
  Yeah, chances are he'll do well in life.
• 44:46
  That's true. If you look at the pattern, you
• 44:48
  can really see like the kids growing up that were somewhat of
• 44:50
  the nerds, and I put them air quotations, but they're very
• 44:54
  successful today, you know, and the ones that were very cool,
• 44:56
  they were very sporty and athletic.
• 44:58
  They're not doing so hot all the time.
• 45:00
  It doesn't translate. They're still going to their
• 45:01
  high school's basketball games. They're 38 years old.
• 45:04
  Right. They're still honing in on that.
• 45:05
  But you know, it's not a testament to what's what's to
• 45:08
  come, you know, but for sure you never really know.
• 45:10
  So there are, there's always different paths that people can
• 45:12
  take and and the jury's. Out next we have a New York Mets
• 45:16
  pitcher, legendary Doc Gooden. I wasn't a Met fan, but after
• 45:21
  this interview, I sure as heck was a Doc Gooden fan.
• 45:24
  Check out these highlights. I hope everyone holds on to
• 45:26
  their seats tight because we are about to take off to a
• 45:29
  hemisphere of nostalgia. We're sitting here with the one
• 45:32
  and only Doc Gooden. I want to tell you something
• 45:34
  about me that you know. You don't know me yet, but one
• 45:38
  thing I'll tell you that may come as a surprise is that when
• 45:41
  I was a young boy, the first time in elementary school that I
• 45:44
  I got kicked out of school was for trading baseball cards.
• 45:49
  Wow, did you ever hear of this before?
• 45:51
  I've I've heard of that, but not I haven't heard Joe's story.
• 45:56
  You heard of the concept? I've heard a little bit of the
• 45:59
  background as to what that means trading cards in a Jewish
• 46:03
  Orthodox school and why that's a little bit.
• 46:05
  It might be a surprise to him. Explain that to him.
• 46:07
  Yeah, that's what I was asking. Like in in terms of have you
• 46:09
  ever heard that before? So growing up in an Orthodox
• 46:11
  Jewish school. OK.
• 46:14
  We're supposed to idolize the rabbi's and we're supposed to
• 46:18
  idolize the people that have wrote scriptures and, you know,
• 46:21
  follow the scriptures and studied.
• 46:23
  And that's really nice. But you know, when you turn on
• 46:26
  the television at night and you want to relax and unwind, you
• 46:29
  don't really see rabbis talking to you.
• 46:31
  You see Doc Gooden on the mountain.
• 46:33
  You see Gary Carter as a catcher.
• 46:35
  You see all of like you're, you're at least what I was for
• 46:38
  me idols and people that I looked up to.
• 46:40
  So we would have baseball cards in school and we would trade
• 46:43
  them and, you know, very discreetly.
• 46:44
  We make sure the rabbi's don't know about it, you know, by
• 46:46
  recess, you know, we would hang out behind the school and we
• 46:49
  would whip out our cars in our pocket and we would trade it
• 46:52
  amongst each other. But it was frowned upon.
• 46:54
  It wasn't like so much like, you know, it wasn't so acceptable
• 46:57
  because like they wanted to keep the kids in line.
• 46:59
  Like, you know, and this was like the outside world in movies
• 47:03
  and music and sports, you know, especially in the very Orthodox
• 47:06
  schools. It's like something that is a
• 47:08
  little taboo and it's not so, so acceptable.
• 47:12
  But, you know, kids are kids. And we we keep up with what's
• 47:15
  going on in the world. And we were always intrigued by
• 47:17
  this. Like this was a world for us
• 47:19
  that was outside the scope of what we did, you know, at home.
• 47:23
  But, you know, this is what he means when, you know, we were
• 47:25
  trading cards and you were one of those cards.
• 47:27
  You were. Definitely one of those cards
• 47:29
  and. I don't know how to accept that
• 47:31
  because you put me in the same boat as your rabbi and baseball
• 47:36
  players. That's pretty.
• 47:37
  That's pretty cool, but interesting though.
• 47:39
  I've heard it to that text. Yeah, it's actually, it's
• 47:42
  actually true. And I just have to say, growing
• 47:44
  up and watching, I remember watching you and I remember that
• 47:48
  feeling of, you know, you know, I hope it.
• 47:51
  I always wondered actually what Gary Carter was telling you on
• 47:53
  the mound. Can you share that with us?
• 47:54
  Oh. Sure, Gary Carter was the best.
• 47:56
  And a lot of the reason for my succession 85 was because of
• 48:00
  Gary Carter. And I remember in 84 at the All
• 48:03
  Star game in San Francisco, I've never been so nervous in my
• 48:06
  life. 19 years old, this really my first time pitching in front
• 48:11
  of national audience. You know, the game's on game of
• 48:13
  the week. I mean, ABC or what have you saw
• 48:16
  a crowd? I'm a year and a half out of
• 48:18
  high school and Gary, see, I'm nervous.
• 48:20
  So he tells me he goes, just throw the ball away.
• 48:22
  You did the first half of the season.
• 48:23
  You'll be fine. I strike out the three guys I
• 48:26
  face and see if I get it right. Lance Parish.
• 48:28
  I don't know the correct order. Lance Parish chat limit and
• 48:31
  Alvin Davis right after the end it's over.
• 48:34
  Gary goes win this. Be nice to do her fifth day not
• 48:36
  knowing that November was on trade for Gary.
• 48:40
  Trade for Gary. From day one of spring training,
• 48:42
  me and Gary just click talked about things he likes things I
• 48:45
  like to do the counts. I like to throw certain pitches
• 48:48
  and we just click. And in 85 when I had my career
• 48:51
  year, I'll say probably after about the fifth start, every
• 48:54
  start was like an event. It was more than just a start
• 48:57
  and it was a big challenge. Everybody wanted the 10 plus
• 49:01
  wreck outs. They won the complete game and
• 49:04
  you know, they wanted to shut out and Gary wanted that.
• 49:06
  It didn't matter if it was up 10 nothing or 9 nothing or
• 49:09
  whatever. He didn't want me to mess
• 49:10
  around. He wanted me to pitch like the
• 49:11
  game was one out there. And to your point, Gary would
• 49:14
  come out to the mound sometime and if you felt like I was
• 49:15
  messing around and get rid of my face, I mean, he would say some
• 49:19
  unpleasant things. Gary was a religious guy, very
• 49:23
  nice guy, but between the lines just one of the toughest guys
• 49:26
  ever played with and he demanded nothing but the best from each
• 49:29
  guy that pitch. And with me, we had a personal
• 49:32
  relationship. I was the only guy Gary wanted
• 49:34
  to catch between starts. He would come down to bullpen
• 49:37
  and catch me. He didn't want nobody catching
• 49:38
  me. But again, I had to give Gary a
• 49:41
  lot of credit as well as Mel starting my pitching coach, for
• 49:44
  the success that I had because Mel would challenge me between
• 49:47
  starts to make sure I wouldn't settle for the start that I had
• 49:50
  before. I could have just had 14
• 49:52
  strikeouts complete game shut out, but he will find something
• 49:55
  for me to work on. And Gary would make me.
• 49:57
  When the game would start, I would be pitching like I just
• 49:59
  gave up fourteen runs even though I was dominating.
• 50:02
  But it was a fun year. And Gary, I miss him to the day
• 50:05
  because he's a good friend as well.
• 50:06
  But nobody played a game as hard as Gary.

  You, you've just been nailing down some of the most coveted
• 51:15
  people. I'm seeing some of these names
• 51:17
  and I'm like, how's this guy doing it?
• 51:19
  How are you even finding these people?
• 51:20
  How do you like, what's your approach?
• 51:22
  What's happening, What we do a day in your life?
• 51:24
  How does this happen? Let's get back to.
• 51:26
  Us. Yeah.
• 51:26
  So you go there on Sunday, you're there at 4:00 AM OK.
• 51:29
  And. And within 12 hours I got the
• 51:31
  most famous to fill in of all time.
• 51:33
  Which is Jake Paul, Jake Paul. So obviously it's word is
• 51:36
  spreading and it's going viral. Sorry, how'd you get to Jake
• 51:39
  Paul? That's that's what we're asking
• 51:40
  you. How did you?
• 51:41
  Get the story behind it. So I had some friends that were
• 51:44
  in the sports betting industry and I reached out to him.
• 51:47
  Could you connect me to the guy named Joey Levy, which is Jake
• 51:49
  Paul's business partner. I want to do to fill in with
• 51:51
  him. He's another Jew.
• 51:52
  So a few friends make the intro. Eventually, finally we meet.
• 51:56
  He invites me to his office. We do to fill in together and
• 51:59
  whatever and we just fill in a few times, etcetera.
• 52:02
  Shared it online. One day I posted a video of one
• 52:05
  of his clients. He has a few clients that have
• 52:09
  podcast under their brand and I posted one of the clients and
• 52:13
  some guy in either Toms River Teaneck, somewhere in New
• 52:16
  Jersey, a from guy not Chabot at all reaches out to me, says I
• 52:20
  just saw your video. I'm an early investor in better,
• 52:23
  which is their sports betting business.
• 52:25
  He's like, I'm a good friend of Joey.
• 52:26
  I'm an investor in his and after seeing your video on LinkedIn, I
• 52:30
  called him up on the spot and said I would love to gift you
• 52:33
  your own pair of to fill in and I want you to put it on every
• 52:36
  day. He says I'll fly down to Miami.
• 52:38
  I'm going to teach you how to do it and let's do that.
• 52:41
  Joey says deal. He flies down here.
• 52:43
  This is about a month and a half ago.
• 52:44
  Two months ago, he flies down and gives him let's fill in and
• 52:50
  he teach him how to do it. The guy starts putting on his
• 52:52
  phone every single day. I met him like a month into him
• 52:54
  putting on his phone. I met him again.
• 52:56
  He told me he's like, I have never had such a good month in
• 52:59
  the history of my I've been in this industry for, I don't know,
• 53:02
  let's say 10 to 15 years. It's like I've never had such a
• 53:05
  good month in my life, He says. One day I forgot to put on the
• 53:08
  filling. It was our worst day of the
• 53:10
  whole entire month. Look at that.
• 53:12
  And he says one day I forgot my to fill in at home.
• 53:14
  I drove back 40 minutes just so I don't miss the filling.
• 53:17
  Wow, and this is a fresh newbie. This is someone who never even
• 53:21
  the one that just started putting and they're not
• 53:22
  religious, right? He just didn't do anything else,
• 53:24
  just filling. He was wearing sissus in the
• 53:25
  picture he sent me, so I'm assuming he also says Sissus
• 53:28
  Yamaka and slowly doing Mormons. But like, I was in the office
• 53:31
  today and someone that I walked with him and said like AMI
• 53:33
  Strauchai and he didn't even know what that meant.
• 53:35
  Yeah, I just thought filling every day, but doesn't even know
• 53:37
  what AMI Strauchai means. Like, wow, he's just learning
• 53:40
  about his Judaism. He's connecting.
• 53:41
  He's loving it. OK, so how to get to Jake Paul?
• 53:44
  So this is his his, his business partner.
• 53:46
  His business partner, he, I was at his office like two or three
• 53:49
  weeks ago and he mentioned that I we're hosting our companies
• 53:53
  hosting a business or our companies hosting a Super Bowl
• 53:56
  party. Why don't you come by like
• 53:58
  awesome, I know. So you became friends with this
• 54:00
  guy? Yeah.
• 54:00
  Became good friends. Like now he's reaching out to
• 54:02
  you periodically and texting with each other.
• 54:05
  He invited, he put me in a group chat.
• 54:06
  Another one of his employees, like he just moved down.
• 54:08
  His name's Max, another Jew. It's like I want to find him a
• 54:10
  synagogue and we found them a synagogue, etcetera.
• 54:13
  So he reached out to me, invite me to the Super Bowl party, and
• 54:16
  I went to it. It was a beautiful party.
• 54:18
  They actually have a bunch of Jews in the office, so we got to
• 54:20
  do it, a bunch of filling. I got there like an hour.
• 54:22
  Do you go with your filling everywhere?
• 54:24
  Wherever you go with you, and wherever you go, you want to
• 54:26
  find at least one person that you can put fill it.
• 54:28
  On Sorry, what's the average strap time on and off?
• 54:32
  60 seconds. Yeah, he just puts it on.
• 54:34
  I've seen. That amazing with a blessing
• 54:36
  also. Yeah, he makes them say the
• 54:37
  baseball. Shema Barshame and Anisar Alpha
• 54:40
  let's. Go and then they say. 60
• 54:41
  seconds. Yeah, real quick.
• 54:42
  Love it. OK, I want my wolf.
• 54:44
  To do it that fast is that next time someone asks them to film,
• 54:48
  they're like, I'm in a rush, but it takes one minute, so why not?
• 54:50
  There is a woman that is doing something ridiculous that she's
• 54:55
  trying to break a world record that I don't even want to
• 54:58
  discuss on this program. But I have a thought you don't.
• 55:01
  Have a thought? Think crazy.
• 55:02
  Yeah, I was just on Aiden Stream and I was speaking to him about
• 55:06
  that exact topic, about that exact person, and me and a few
• 55:10
  people are. We put together a group chat and
• 55:12
  we're working on it. We're going to break the
• 55:14
  Guinness World Record of the most to fill in in one day.
• 55:16
  She did 1000 of whatever. We're going to do 1000 myths
• 55:18
  with 1000. Yes.
• 55:20
  Wow. Yes.
• 55:22
  Two opposite sides of the coin, if I've ever seen it right, you
• 55:25
  know, coming. I'm part of this, right?
• 55:26
  You're joining us. It's a new.
• 55:28
  Oh my God, this is this is what I was going to suggest for you
• 55:30
  to do. You have 1000 people in the room
• 55:32
  28 that never puts filling on before.
• 55:34
  No, they have. Done it.
• 55:35
  Oh, that happened all going to do it simultaneously.
• 55:37
  Not simultaneously, but we're going to over it.
• 55:39
  Let's say it's going to take us 234 hours.
• 55:41
  Yeah. Over that time period, we're
• 55:43
  going to go do the most filling that's ever been.
• 55:45
  Done boom boom boom in one day. Literally just break records
• 55:49
  it's amazing. Confused I.
• 55:50
  Don't know what you want to get us.
• 55:51
  What do you mean? There's going to be 1000 people
• 55:53
  in the room and you're going to put filling on each of those
• 55:55
  people? Yeah.
• 55:56
  What's the record? The record right now is like
• 55:58
  262. For two for what?
• 56:00
  We're the record of what? How many people are in one room?
• 56:02
  We're in villain. Put it in one day in.
• 56:04
  One day in one day time, someone put on villain.
• 56:06
  They have. They have.
• 56:07
  Competitions, they all know, they all sit in Times Square in
• 56:10
  Chicago and they go around it. Hey, how many Tillons did you do
• 56:13
  a day? How much?
• 56:14
  Right, Yeah. So they're on the chat and the
• 56:16
  most they did in a day is under 300.
• 56:19
  You're, you're going to break the record.
• 56:20
  And I'm so proud and I'm so honored to be a part of this
• 56:23
  100%. You both are going to join.
• 56:25
  Us can I just share something before we start even like
• 56:27
  getting into stuff in this podcast.
• 56:29
  I am one of the critics behind the scenes.
• 56:33
  OK, and I want to be I want to give you a fair chance to you
• 56:36
  know, to explain because I really want to be convinced.
• 56:38
  But there are people that are like me that believe the same
• 56:40
  thing. When I see someone in New York
• 56:43
  City, in Times Square, someone from Chabad, and they pull
• 56:46
  random people over and they start putting spilling on them.
• 56:49
  I'm actually not impressed. I'm actually not like, wow,
• 56:52
  that's that's an amazing thing. I look at it and I say really
• 56:55
  like, is is that necessary? That what is that really doing
• 56:58
  for this person that yeah, they'll put it on for a quick
• 57:00
  second just to entertain you, not to be rude.
• 57:03
  They want to be polite. But then also like, what does
• 57:05
  that really do for their Judaism?
• 57:07
  What does that really do for a really spreading the message.
• 57:10
  Yeah, please. But you do you hear where I'm
• 57:11
  coming from? I'm asking this.
• 57:13
  And by the way, Yossi, I want to take it even a step further with
• 57:16
  you. I love what you're doing from
• 57:18
  the entertainment standpoint. I'm actually following you like
• 57:20
  a hawk. I love it.
• 57:22
  I can't wait for the next person.
• 57:23
  But it's become somewhat of an entertainment value.
• 57:26
  It's become a very glamorous thing that I actually think this
• 57:28
  in a way, is even more losing sight of the real purity behind
• 57:32
  what you're trying to do. You think it's losing sight?
• 57:34
  I think so. I think it's watering down a
• 57:36
  little bit of what it really means to put filling on, what
• 57:39
  goes on behind, what it means to be a good Jew, what it means to
• 57:41
  be a practicing Jew. Like is it just about all right?
• 57:43
  You put filling on for 5 minutes and I'll go about your life
• 57:46
  just. Want to clarify as he I I
• 57:47
  completely. I know he knows this.
• 57:49
  I know. But I want you to take a shot at
• 57:51
  it because I'm already proud of your answer.
• 57:53
  Go. He didn't even say anything.
• 57:54
  He said he has a story. OK, let me Share your story.
• 57:57
  Absolutely. So someone had a very similar
• 57:59
  question to you. He went over to a Chabad friend
• 58:01
  of his and said, why did the rubber make such a big deal
• 58:04
  about to fill in? Why that mitzvah in particular?
• 58:07
  Why didn't he do mezuza? Why didn't you do kosher, which
• 58:09
  he did encourage people to do, but not as much as to fill?
• 58:12
  Why did he do want to do learning Torah, right?
• 58:14
  It's like, why is it? Why is it so important to
• 58:17
  pronounce filling? So this was back in the 70s or
• 58:19
  6. I think it was in the 70s, right
• 58:21
  after the filling campaign started in 1967, shortly before
• 58:25
  the Six Day War. It was in the 1970s.
• 58:27
  So what happens they the guy, a few months later, he travels to
• 58:32
  New York and goes to meets with the rabbi.
• 58:34
  And at the end of his conversation, he brings up this
• 58:36
  question to the rabbi, Why? Why is it so important to to
• 58:39
  felon? The rabbi says there'll be a guy
• 58:43
  and he's like, there'll be a guy, a yid in Miami sitting
• 58:48
  there and he'll go over to you and say, I saw a picture of
• 58:52
  someone putting on the filling at the Western Wall and it
• 58:55
  really inspired me to want to get more into my Judaism and
• 58:58
  start putting on the filling maybe.
• 59:00
  OK, beautiful. That's what I've answered him.
• 59:02
  Fast forward, I would say 7 or 8 years, this guy, he lives in
• 59:06
  London, he's accounted in London.
• 59:07
  He gets called in by one of his clients, say I want to meet you
• 59:10
  in Miami. There's no problem.
• 59:12
  So the guy travels to Miami to go meet him.
• 59:14
  And in there, there the two of them and a senior guy in the
• 59:17
  meeting, I would say a guy in his 70s or 80s, and they're sick
• 59:21
  of the meeting and it's at a restaurant and they order food.
• 59:24
  The guy is drinking water or maybe having some orange juice,
• 59:27
  etcetera, maybe a little fruit, but he's not really eating.
• 59:30
  So the guy asked him why, why you aren't eating?
• 59:32
  He's like, I keep kosher. So he's like, oh, do you also
• 59:35
  put on tefillin? So he's like, yeah, he's like, I
• 59:38
  started seeing pictures of people at the Western Wall
• 59:40
  putting on tefillin and it really gave me a thing I want to
• 59:43
  start putting on the phone. So they're OK.
• 59:44
  After the meeting, we'll go to tefillin.
• 59:46
  And after the meeting, the guy will go and he puts on tefillin
• 59:49
  with the sea head. He's like, this is my first time
• 59:51
  doing it since my bar mitzvah. The guy was probably 7580 years
• 59:54
  old. Like this is the first time I've
• 59:56
  ever put on the phone since my bar mitzvah.
• 59:58
  He said just because I saw pictures of other people putting
• 1:00:01
  on the felon. The Rebel was very into not just
• 1:00:03
  putting on the film, but taking pictures and showing people.
• 1:00:05
  There was once a story that there was a big event and I
• 1:00:09
  think it was in, I think it was in one of the Twin Cities in
• 1:00:13
  Minnesota. Minnesota.
• 1:00:14
  Minnesota, yeah. And they're hosting a big event
• 1:00:17
  with like hundreds of teenagers similar to what we're going to
• 1:00:19
  do, God willing, in two weeks, hundreds of non religious
• 1:00:21
  teenagers. And they were doing to fill in.
• 1:00:23
  And before they were doing it, the rebels like I hope you guys
• 1:00:26
  invited the press. I hope you guys are going to
• 1:00:27
  have this on the front page of the newsletter, the newspapers
• 1:00:30
  in the city that hundreds of Jews unprecedented putting on to
• 1:00:33
  fill in. And the rebel was very into
• 1:00:35
  publicizing mitzvahs and specifically to fill in to
• 1:00:38
  publicize it as many people as possible.
• 1:00:40
  Because one guy, he's like this guy saw pictures of people in
• 1:00:44
  the Western Wall in Ursula and putting on tofilin.
• 1:00:46
  And this, this lawyer in Miami, not lawyer, this accountant in
• 1:00:49
  Miami decided I want to go put on tofilin.
• 1:00:51
  How crazy this was. The rabbit told us this guy
• 1:00:54
  seven years ago that you'll you'll meet a guy in Miami.
• 1:00:56
  And it happened seven years later, and it happened 7.
• 1:00:58
  Years later, how crazier. 8 years later I don't remember.
• 1:01:01
  The same as the power of tofilin.
• 1:01:02
  Yeah, I mean that's the where's. The guys the video app whereas.
• 1:01:05
  But is this what the I? There's certainly merit to
• 1:01:09
  publicizing something like this. You.
• 1:01:11
  Know the a lot about Kirkafta? No, I know.
• 1:01:14
  It's in halacha. There's a lot of sources.
• 1:01:16
  Their arm bomb brings it down and different people get Kafta
• 1:01:19
  de la Monarch film. There's a big question if that
• 1:01:21
  person is even able to go into Ghanaian.
• 1:01:25
  Do you know what Kafta is? No, Kafta is a school.
• 1:01:27
  So Kafta de la Monarch film is school.
• 1:01:30
  A Jew that has never put on film his entire life.
• 1:01:32
  There's a question for even going to Ghanaian to you finding
• 1:01:35
  like I was at Art Basel, you know, Art Basel.
• 1:01:37
  I was at Art Basel a few weeks ago actually a great story and I
• 1:01:40
  meet this guy, 88 year old guy trying to get him to put on
• 1:01:43
  phone not interested in whatsoever.
• 1:01:45
  Finally he's like I'm trying to get in.
• 1:01:47
  I don't have any tickets to get into Art Basel so if you could
• 1:01:49
  get me a ticket I'll put on selling but OK I'm like I have a
• 1:01:53
  ticket in my pocket extra ticket.
• 1:01:54
  Someone gave me up, someone invited me.
• 1:01:56
  I just post on my Instagram. Anyone have tickets to Art Basel
• 1:01:59
  in 5 minutes? Some lady responds give me your
• 1:02:01
  e-mail my husband will e-mail you 2 tickets.
• 1:02:03
  So they emailed me two tickets. 1 ticket was for me and OR and
• 1:02:06
  Sean sent me another ticket for this old man so I let him in.
• 1:02:09
  He says OK let's do it to fill in.
• 1:02:10
  He's 88 years old I think or maybe 87.
• 1:02:13
  It was his first time ever putting on filling.
• 1:02:15
  How crazy. What happens next?
• 1:02:17
  So he he's 88. He puts fill in and out for the
• 1:02:19
  first time now. So now, now everything is all
• 1:02:22
  right in the world because he puts filling on one time in his
• 1:02:25
  eighty years. So now.
• 1:02:26
  You're in a shama like a candle, right?
• 1:02:28
  Or like a match, right? You put on and the filling is
• 1:02:31
  the match. You put on that one filling and
• 1:02:33
  it sparks it. It opens up that it opens up.
• 1:02:36
  You know, you ever heard the saying Mitzvah?
• 1:02:38
  Yeah, one that leads to another. One that leads to another.
• 1:02:41
  You just do that one to fill and you think it's nothing.
• 1:02:43
  You never know what the effect. Next we have my good friend
• 1:02:46
  Steve Gluck, a man who is standing up for abuse, and he
• 1:02:50
  had a story to tell. Check out the highlights.
• 1:02:52
  Hey, I'm very excited because we're here with the venerable.
• 1:02:57
  I can't overuse that word. I've never.
• 1:02:59
  Used it before. I told Michael the word
• 1:03:01
  venerable and he hasn't stopped using.
• 1:03:02
  It it's my first time. Second one second, you need to
• 1:03:05
  understand our upbringing. Exactly.
• 1:03:07
  Thank you. We grew up in, you know, the
• 1:03:10
  yeshiva system that we went to. Venerable wasn't a word.
• 1:03:13
  It wasn't a word, it wasn't a word, but I've learned since
• 1:03:16
  then that you are venerable. You're more than that, guys.
• 1:03:20
  We're here together with the founder and the creator of
• 1:03:23
  Amudem, but more than that, the person that is the other number
• 1:03:27
  other than 911, which we'll get into in a couple of minutes.
• 1:03:30
  Svigluck Svi, thank you so much for joining us today.
• 1:03:34
  You know, I'm just gonna jump right into it and ask you to
• 1:03:36
  just give yourself an introduction for the people that
• 1:03:38
  potentially don't know you. Get to know me.
• 1:03:41
  I grew up in Borough Park. Yep, you know, I think you know
• 1:03:44
  that part. Well, we know each other since
• 1:03:45
  we're like teenagers, so yeah. Younger than teenagers.
• 1:03:48
  Yeah, right before mitzvah, actually, That's true.
• 1:03:49
  You wanna be technical about it? I grew up in a house, for lack
• 1:03:54
  of a better word, that was filled with Kassad, My father,
• 1:03:58
  may he live and be well, Rabbi Edgar Glock or Rebecca and Bar
• 1:04:01
  Glock is just my hero. Many of ours heroes, but mine
• 1:04:06
  for sure. But I will say that growing up,
• 1:04:08
  I resented a lot of his public service and I vowed to never get
• 1:04:12
  into public service. Just going to say that and put
• 1:04:15
  it out there. I then decided that, you know,
• 1:04:19
  after going through 4 elementary schools, that wasn't enough.
• 1:04:22
  I then started my high school career and I, I had this
• 1:04:26
  assumption that I would have more boys and girls.
• 1:04:29
  So I wanted to really know like where do I want to send them to
• 1:04:31
  school? So I, I went to 14 high schools,
• 1:04:35
  you know, trying them all out. My father likes to say that it
• 1:04:39
  was management issues. They thought they were in
• 1:04:41
  charge. I thought I was in charge.
• 1:04:43
  It just didn't work out very well.
• 1:04:44
  Is that a real number? That is a real.
• 1:04:46
  You beat me by a couple, by the way.
• 1:04:47
  That is. Congratulations.
• 1:04:48
  I'm just curious. Look, by the time you got to the
• 1:04:50
  10th place, they didn't like question you like what are you
• 1:04:53
  doing? Why are you even taking
• 1:04:54
  interview here? You were, you were in 10 places.
• 1:04:56
  Like what's different now? So interesting.
• 1:04:59
  So first I'll tell you, being Rabbi Glock's son got me in to
• 1:05:02
  all those schools, didn't keep me there.
• 1:05:04
  I will tell you the irony is that consistently when I got
• 1:05:09
  thrown out of schools, I didn't get thrown out of all of them.
• 1:05:11
  Some of them I left on my own, but the bulk of them I got
• 1:05:13
  tossed out. It was always, always, and I say
• 1:05:16
  this thing the night before I was thrown out is was
• 1:05:21
  consistently the night that I said to myself, that's it.
• 1:05:24
  I'm going to go to chakras on time tomorrow.
• 1:05:26
  I'm going to be good. I'm going to do what needs to be
• 1:05:28
  done. I think that's what did it
• 1:05:31
  though. I think they saw me at Chakras
• 1:05:32
  and they're like, oh wait, we know him.
• 1:05:34
  We've been trying to throw him out.
• 1:05:35
  We haven't seen him in like months.
• 1:05:36
  That's our chance. But I, I, it was interesting
• 1:05:40
  because I always enjoyed learning.
• 1:05:42
  I, I love learning, learning anything meaning topics.
• 1:05:45
  I just really, I wasn't the most studious child, but I loved
• 1:05:48
  learning. So I loved that part of school.
• 1:05:50
  I hated rules. I thought most of them just made
• 1:05:53
  no sense. And then I ended up in my my
• 1:05:57
  final high school, which didn't throw me out.
• 1:06:01
  There's actually a cute story to that.
• 1:06:03
  What was it you can you? Can cut it out after if you
• 1:06:05
  choose not to. But it's a no, no, no, We don't
• 1:06:06
  cut out anything. I went to go for it.
• 1:06:08
  I went to Rabbi Radinsky. Oh, and in Muncie?
• 1:06:11
  In Muncie maybe?
