A Few of My Favorite Things, feat. Yaakov & Shlomo Orlofsky (Ep. 127)

hi this is deborah rolofsky and this is hi i'm jacob orlowski and this is schlommer oh my goodness what uh thanks mom uh this is uh of course our special purim show and uh yaakov who is a fan favorite i've received a lot of letter saying when is yaakov coming back on thanks mom every time someone said i was cute i would have a dollar thanks mom anyway and of course moshe yehuda my son was on with the special waterberry episode which on youtube is the most watched um episode uh of uh of uh any of the episodes that we have had more than my episodes yeah because he keeps having his friends come on from different computers i think i don't know if that's true or not i just made that up but uh but this is of course my son shalom's first appearance and we decided to have on the show because he said come on can i be on the show come on come on i want to get a joke come on come on mom mom could you tell me the show so i said you know what i'll let yakov decide and jacob said fine and that's why we're all here together i just figured that i mean if he's on then let's make in front of me maybe maybe okay and uh and uh this episode is sponsoring anonymously anonymously as a course for claustro so thank you one of our regular sponsors great to have you and now basically i as we know on the firm show the minute is that i'm the guest but things turn upside down yeah and uh so i'm actually the guest on the show here the rubioski show and the other rabbi yolowhovsky uh rabbi yaakov who is available for speaking or um just uh actually he has opened his own business called sh that's in hebrew it's written in english letters n-o-t n-o-t-z n-o-t-z-a that c-o-d-i-l right hi and he has uh the finest linens uh blankets pillows uh available so uh if you're looking for any of those items i'm just uh giving a little plug for my son because eventually i'm going to be moving in with him he's going to be taking care of that as i just sit in a chair and drool anyway okay so i turned the and that whole sponsorship only cost me two towels anyway so uh okay so uh well that's what they say when you trade those sort of things then they say well it was a wash okay so uh yaakov i turn over the uh podcast all right well we'll take over from here there we are all right well uh as we did the other ones we always like on the podcast to try to give the viewers or listeners as people can also watch this obviously on uh apple podcast and spotify and all the other uh podcasts uh obviously and so we always like to give a little deeper insight into the ravsky uh the father the family the experiences and so on so uh in this special uh it gives the illusion that i'm a real person what's behind the rabbi a bookcase all right that's some gentle humor right there all right well hopefully all all uphill from here so well basically we decided to try to go on something like a q a uh your likes your dislikes experiences in life and so on just a general kind of approach um obviously there's uh you you first have to start with your family and this is based on the fact that i have opinions about everything obviously and everyone is entitled to your opinion indeed and wow i mean i don't think when i'm alone it's like all right fine hey i'll turn the whole podcast over to you you could do that you could do it alone and uh i can't wait to see the reaction stupendous while wearing a bathrobe obviously so uh the the first you know you you got to start with family obviously the most important in the world and uh before we start with anything obviously everyone always wants to know who's your favorite child so i'm just going to clarify that that's obviously me i mean there's not a lot to talk about and then we fast move on okay all right that was easy right there more of a statement less less of a question uh i'm happy all right now as as a true orlovsky i mean obviously food has to be a name part of our life only obviously in like a religious you know fashion you know different meals for simcas and stuff like that what in the world are you talking about i grew up the the love was expressed through food that's how we when in my house yeah um my wife was very surprised we were married for a relatively short period of time and my mother knew i was going through some kind of difficult thing and she called up my wife and she said quick put up a steak that is how we deal with attention and with problems so food to us is a comfort it is a friend it is there to uh support us in our times of need and slowly kill us so all of that is true best of both worlds i mean if kobe didn't i don't know i mean you know it is what it is all right let me let me start like this just feel free to jump in whenever buddy you said steak let's start with that what's what's what's your best steak you ever had oh my gosh uh marrakech in south africa and cape town it was so soft it came with like dipping sauces but i didn't use it you just cut it it was it melted in your mouth it was the most delicious steak i ever had um if i had to pick my second best steak i ever had it was in the 1980s in a restaurant uh in manhattan called lavana where they had this steak which was in a blueberry peppercorn sauce let me let me say the following i don't get going out and ordering something that you can make at home for yourself i don't get it no it's if you go out someplace and they take a rib steak and they throw it on on on the grill and you eat it you could just go with it buy that same rib stick and put it in it's nothing you want to know that they did something that's episode you know what i mean that's something a little bit uh and that's why you go out and order roast chicken i can make it at home you know this is always the problem when you know we have a shabbos and i say um we'll buy shabbos we'll have to work in bar shoppers you know what that much for a quarter of chicken soup forget it put up a chicken soup you know how much they want what you cannot smell for brisket it cost me nothing you know i mean you know what roast chicken it's like 40 shekels a piece that brown i'll take some chicken and throw it on the anyway i end up making everything because i just can't see myself spending that kind of money for uh all right but i do think it's only fair to mention now that you eat your steaks well done not anymore oh me meanwhile i can because you eat it medium controversial because most of the people in my house like to eat it where the cow is still you know moving down the floor you know and blood is dripping out of it and i just uh my father michelle was a florist he was a rubber caterer and he said there was an old joke by the coach of caterers he says how do you get 400 end pieces because they want an enemies because jews like their their their meet more well done so that's how i grew up i moved from well done to meeting well i can even eat medium on occasion how have that changed it's hard to get a good well done steak um they have an 18 roast uh here in israel which is basically rib roast and um i i always leave it in for too long because everyone likes it bloody you know i live too long and uh my good friend yitzi shapiro who is a foodie you know i actually served an 18 roast that was well done and he says i don't know how you did it it's juicy it's good it's delicious i have to admit you managed to pull it off so uh so i do believe that it is possible to have it but very often you get it well done and it's just cooked to death and it tastes like chili so meaning well it's still a little bit alive you know so i mean you and donald trump i'm just saying well done that's supposedly how he eats his steaks let me let me ask you this this shawarma you know people come to israel it could be today it could be once upon a time what's your best experience there was a place called massive that was next to the central bus station it was really weird i mean today i don't know that i would would eat there because like it was like every other week it had a hush guard you know but there's no question they had the best swamp i ever had and i like i'm a simple guy i like shawarma pita you know they sometimes they make it in alofa it's too much bread you know it's a farmer the pita you put in the shawarma hummus yeah if they have fried onions some french fries salatin yeah uh salad and uh pickles sometimes i put in that yellow sauce but i am sick for two days indoors so you have to make a henchman you know is it worth it sometimes it's worth it i have to tell you i i have a massive story that maybe or maybe did not happen maybe witnesses they could not be found but i'll say that i actually didn't prepare this uh i was 16 i had braces when i was younger and that was no way yeah yeah let's see gorgeous how much did i pay for those [Applause] another famous speaker part of the famous people closer those you don't know and he had his face fixed because i know who you're talking about doesn't make a difference yes i also know another famous speaker he wears lifts in his shoes you know me in the words of popeye i am what i am anyway i didn't eat the whole day i came to the place now he used to make there's the regular out when you buy the love for the rainbow shawarma then he had what they called well they they had obviously the hatsey hatsey where it was basically they also fresh schnitzel they cut it up they put it in the shrimp and then they brought it up and you basically get both then you have what was called the super schwa the whole top part of the lava is empty and then you have to have a few bites of just plain you know bread so he used to then after he rolls it up fill it back up with meat to the top they call that a super only for those who were made in him at the time there was a super hot sikhati i mean it wasn't it wasn't on anywhere i mean you just came up and said oh okay fine and whatever the price was at the time and they put in the schnitzel with it and they filled it to the top and uh maybe maybe not um i ate three of them i'm just saying maybe or maybe not um can you confirm or deny the story i also bought a pizza but i couldn't eat the pizza but i was very now i i have to full disclosure i've never had lamb schwann really really it's supposed to be lamb i've never had lamb um i did have meat i did have chicken i did not like them i think turkey shrama is the way to go and it could be i'd feel different um uh if i had lamb who invented lamb schwamma i think it's a loser hello hello hilla would take the curtain pesach take the matza and their matzos used to look like lafays and put it in with the with the romaine lettuce roll it up and then dip it in the jar s lean back on the couch with a glass of warm wine this used to be such a better religion anyway all right you just jumped you got something to do you know you can pause it and watch it afterwards you know you can't talk about shawarma without talking about falafel sure you can not not not in my house where we come from okay what's what's your best falafel best falafel experience all right so let's start let's start never put sauerkraut in in falafel you go to america they put in sauerkraut what is wrong with these people no i grew up i didn't know any better i was like oh i'm sure you're putting sauerkraut fat anyway i have tried falafel in a lot of different places and the best falafel and i'm saying this goes back to 1975 is a place called ben yaakov which is on schwa novi they make hundreds maybe thousands of falafel the pita is fresh and delicious they they they sit there and make the balls they're constantly taking out the bowls are always fresh yeah um some people for the hummus i don't proclaim this you put in falafel salad pickles um a lot of treatment they have a really good treat and french fries that's it some people put in the fried eggplant some people put in other stuff i say listen whenever i go there i say this is how i have ordered it for the past 40 years that's how i want my my falafel it is so good and at this point in my life i know that i will be sick and i have to psych myself up for this experience but their falafel is just so to this day to this day wow i will sometimes make that journey make that trick out to i actually have some uh memories with you because you used to be more david at the time it was entrepreneurs across the street yes and i mean i'm going back 25 maybe more years ago when i was still in school i used to come there every day after school to hang out a little bit and then we should drive home and uh used to come to you and say oh can i buy falafel now just we understand at the time a falafel or like a pizza was i think three shekels or something but whatever it was at the time or six seven i remember and i went and voted then there was one time i remember there and i think they upped it to like three and a half or six and that whatever it was and i bought a drink and a father and i bring you back to the change and you're looking as like what's this what where's the money you're saving all the change to buy a house when i got married my father said to me learn to say one thing i can't afford it that's what my father would always say to me just say i can't afford it when you want to do something you want to go and say i can't afford it so one time my father came to my house and he says why don't you fix this why don't you put this in i said i can't afford aces don't be a cheapskate the master of the double message anyway so um as for timeout falafels i know people if you ask someone like what's your favorite homeless they won't really have any story but i know you have a little uh story about that with falafel there there was a restaurant went out of business um and we found another one near the mirror me and my brother uh he came once to visit his son who was learning again we found this other place where they used to give you a plate a glass plate with the homemade hummus and then they put falafel balls and some vegetables they put a little olive oil in the middle and they give you a big fresh pita so we got married we came here for that year 1982. i remember sukis i went to the falafel place got my falafel plate i got my hummus pudding and they said you have to use the sukka of it or his pizza we have an arrangement with them so i walked across malche israel and and it's it is such a treat it's such a treat if you can find a good one you know it's hard to find a good one like that well anyway let me ask you well yeah anyway so then i i carried the plate back to the falafel shop and uh through fugula you know it's pretty crowded and when i get to the store it's filled with coins so i realized i might be on something that's about that's the most successful fundraising i ever did i always had dreams of opening yeshiva i'm terrified about fundraising so uh this is a call to all those uh and i would like to help you make your dream come true that's very good of clay yourself amen would say i'll name these shiva after you you you mentioned ores pizza i know this is a big uh controversy i haven't been there in years i don't know why i'm reviewing but when i was younger i mean that was the hit place to be in gold that was the place yes no it was thick it was this it was that questions pizza yes or no um one of my trips to venice i i went twice but one time we went and there was a chef and there's one kosher pizza place in uh in venice and we um we ordered the pizza and we dined al fresco which means we sat on the ground because there was no place to sit so we were just sitting on the floor uh eating our pizza fresh italian alfresco means nikita outside but amsterdam's really had no choice because there's no place to go more languages and the uh and the um and the chef he says to me this is real pizza thin crust flavorful sauce and a lot of cheese it's very hard to find good kosher pizza one fellow who runs a pizza place here says because the badass makes you put fruit juice into the dough and so it doesn't make a real good pizza dough uh in america i've gone to a bunch of different places and if you get it when it first comes out it's good after it's been sitting around they stick it back in the in the oven it comes out like copper [Music] certain places they come out when it first comes out of the oven but a place that it's not in israel uh i would have to say probably the best pizza i've had is apple pizza um because it's thin and uh and flavorful etc uh having said that of course uh my good friend abby foreman uh who has pops pizza across the street is uh special madriga as he says in his air it's it's the best because it's made with love that's important ingredient indeed indeed so just i mean you kind of jumped over the the yes yes or no we'll read pizza um i i remember mursha yehuda who you'll remember from previous podcast the most viewed podcast ever yes but was really uh giving me a lot of laughs that we should go to his pizza because all his friends told him was the best one and we went and he sat there and he he starts eating it and then he says i don't get it it's still the the the the dough is too bready and uh and the the sauce is too sweet it's that it's not my taste i mean listen you know there's different different people like different kind of things you know i listen i i don't like it when it's a thick crust but when i was in america i would sometimes get a sicilian pizza which is for sure but it's thick and crusty if you get it the right way so uh pizza toppings yes or no you so what kind that's it yeah i'm not a fan of olives well forget vegetables when you go to certain pizza places especially in america you'll see they have i mean baked ziti on a pizza french fries [Applause] has a particular taste and it doesn't do it for me i don't think it belongs on a pizza you know tomato that's kind of overkill because it's tomato choice you know what i mean mushrooms yeah good okay i could go with mushrooms you know mostly onion onion or plate i'll tell you the the pasta's on the on the pizza it was eating a pizza with somebody and he told me the gemara that it says the bread with the bread pasta on the bread indeed the best topping up for pizza has to be more cheese can't go wrong okay that's not a topping that's called pizza i mean it's it's it's it's it's another topping actually this is more cheese what happens if you add on olives and then they put the cheese on top of it doesn't that have another dinner or whatever they put tomato sauce on top of the cheese is it considered an extra topping okay so when i was in america we used to buy thomas's english muffins all right and you put hunch sauce on and mozzarella cheese and oregano and you bake in the oven now we don't have them here so we use we use pizzas uh it's close close and you always have the question of after you do the source and the cheese and the oregano do you add some more sauce 10 times yes sometimes i've done it both ways i think both ways are et cetera how much do you believe in i mean you're 15. i mean that's a lot to believe and go everything you believe believe in food and that's enough so you believe in no sauce on top of pizza the words of wc fields everyone should believe in something i believe i'll have another drink so all right let's let's let's let's move off topic of food we'll come back we'll come back maybe if we have time this is a crime against the arlovski's we'll deal with it what's your best summer vacation ever that's tough thank you it's tough because i don't really like to do anything i i i can't swim um i don't know why i when i went to camp we had swim instructions but in order to swim you have to do the crawl and you have to turn your head and breathe and put it back in and turn your head and i couldn't get a breath so i could just keep doing it until i ran out of breath and then i would stop so that doesn't let you get very far so um you know uh you can squish your hand a little bit in the water but like you know that's uh well it doesn't have to be a camp it could be a trip it could be yeah i'm just saying so like when you talk about activities you know i don't play golf you know i don't play most sports miniature golf happens to be one of my i have a few sports miniature golf and ping pong now i say ping pong even though i have a nephew uh jared who is ruthless he can just slam it at you every single time there's if if he wants to you can never return one bull and that was so depressing now when i was in camp i could play tennis in fact you know they have those things where you move up on the you know the slots you know i could move up two or three times but that was about it because i never mastered a backhand so i had to run around the court much more than everybody else because i really hit it with my forehand was coming over here i had to run but that was about it so i don't know any sports i don't go swimming um i i've gone boating you know but for the most part i don't i don't really do anything so um when uh when i think of a certification when we were kids we used to go to groceries and um and uh you'd sit in the lobby i'd read i'd learn and you wait for the meals and you go to the meal and you eat and you come back you know wait wait for the next meal you know um have some entertainment you know and that's more or less my idea of about it well when you were a kid your parents took you on a road trip across cross country yes that is not that's not in the top it is such uh an amazing amazing experience we went from new york to california and back and uh we uh we made it up to south dakota we saw the mount rushmore and uh the badlands and uh we um we went to san francisco los angeles uh we went to the grand canyon and uh the painted desert petrified forest you know we went through uh we went to the in the ozarks i had a lot of really amazing experiences most of the time you're sitting in the car and that's just it's not that to me it's not i like it it's like sitting on our plane yeah so if you're flying a business class it's not so bad yeah it lays down slightly down flat as a seat you can lie down you connect not so bad but you sit in one of those seats like this yeah but there's something very uh free about getting in the car you turn on your music or shooting or whatever it is you like you're with friends or family or whatever it is yes you're just driving without nothing you have not you know you have to stop enough to anything you could stop at every gas station we did for every civil right we had a chevy station right now the reason i'm saying that is because in it got about two miles to the gallon so we were constantly filling up your gas oh no i don't mean because that's how they became fat because every place we stopped my father would say get some indeed and we stopped for gas 15 20 times a day until then i was actually thin and worried about me because i was so thin and that was the last time that happened but uh i lived by the gas station so it is fun getting in the car and driving right eight hours a day for a month yeah but the reason we died the reason i talk about stopping is because that i had the pleasure of being part of the worship that we did orlando which apparently you like that get in the car and drive for 18 hours straight without stopping because the goal is to get there the goal wasn't that the trip wasn't wasn't the purpose the purpose was to arrive at the destination it's not like uh going from it's rhyme to har cena where the the trip itself is the is the purpose you know they could have taken them three days as if the ramban says as the crow flies to get the rc night so so the the the goal was the journey but here if i could have just taken everything and everybody and put them you know into uh into a plane and flown i would have but we had too many people and too much stuff so we drove down the van all i wanted was a drink oh please right baby let me tell you about the chocolate bar every day with the trip back when we got ready that's all i wanted forget about it we cleaned up the whole place we all got into the van we got on the road we spent 45 minutes looking for coffee that was a that was a little waste of time and uh and then we just drove my son-in-law israel mayor who is from down south uh i had him drive because he speaks the language and uh and he just there was this rainstorm like you've never seen like this unbelievable stuff he's going 60 miles an hour he doesn't even slow down he just keeps going you know we didn't stop for nothing till we got to baltimore so uh i don't know how later i know about it was we bought breakfast in target pardon uh given a choice of any ice cream in the entire world i would go with uh uh carvel sofa milk oh yeah with a cookie crunch oh oh yeah and if i get into one of those uh whitaker cones the uh the sweet cones the sugar cones sugar cones the problem is though that they fill it up you take a bite and the whole thing cools down and starts dripping all over you so i end up going with a cup but uh but uh yeah that's uh that's probably the best ice cream you know there's a there's a dulce split in haagen-dazs you have to go to the actual place to find out kosher there's a few of them but they basically put in hot cornmeal in the cup and they put in dojo deutsche delecha ice cream fresh bananas the layers of the top whipped cream cream and caramel on top what do you call it uh uh say yakov they'll know what it means basically robin's uh aprilian cream is oh yeah by the way uh just full disclosure when i'm in america since i grew up with the psychopathy feinstein i rely on what they call stomach olive in her child of course i i don't but uh yeah i felt very much when i'm in but uh now that was years ago when people used to travel when there were these big planes and people would fly places to go things like now you know so now what do i what do i have i have the there's a badass ice cream uh strawberry that's made with like frozen sugar inside of it that you know you can still sometimes find the powder you know i mean no no this is this is uh this is this is what we do we don't have to drain the swamps you know what i mean but uh i don't even think it's dairy i think it's d e and i think it's it might be dairy it might not you'll have to find that for sure less than one percent milk in that i don't know a cream or whatever speaking of that road trip i remember we we had to come you weren't on the road trip i'm not talking you went on a plane which road trip buddy can i finish all right fine speaking of the road trip leading us to us so let me let me ask you once once we're at it come on buddy come on all right all right relax say it which road trip i'm talking about the road trip he went with his parents oh yeah okay right 1968. to be precise so i remember we sat on once and you've actually been to around 40 states i believe so i think uh please don't correct me but i believe the um very interesting question would be out of those like what was your favorite state of state like you really loved being in florida amen florida my my niece tova and my nephew zombie used to be in tower 41 and they were on like the 14th floor and i would sit out on their porch and the ocean on one side and the bay on the other and i could just sit there for the rest of my life and just watch it go the the breeze and the water and the sun and that's it i would be very happy to stay there don't get me wrong connecticut's a lot of fun too i mean have you ever been to kansas now i have i have a particular soft point but for foliage uh and autumn when it starts to any colors so when you go to new england and you get to see the the trees turn in color once for your mother's birthday i took her to this restaurant called garten is in it was in muncie there used to be a hotel and they sold off the hotel dude they just kept the dining room and it had antiques and uh and a fireplace and uh they would start you off this was in november and october they would start you off with like either a choice of a fresh strawberry daiquiri or apple cider and everything was fresh beautiful there was a fire burning and ah and the drive up there on the palisades and the autumn gorgeous so i do have a like i say for when when you get to experience that that's something uh and you've raised your 40 states easy i think going there the dakotas i was in south dakota i wasn't in north dakota i wasn't in montana i haven't been to oregon interestingly enough um i haven't been to louisiana i haven't been to alaska hawaii why um i haven't been to west virginia i was in kansas i was in kansas nebraska i was in kentucky i was in tennessee new mexico i changed planes in alabama but i've never been to mississippi so uh pretty good most of the states um oh so you've done like i mean amazing things oh yeah obviously amazing things but also over like a hundred of these podcasts but i really want to know out of all of them i mean you made so many on so many different topics what was your favorite part just personally not how many views i got or how well it did just you really love that pockets that you did your favorite one i can't choose i had so many that i really enjoyed i watch them sometimes and i laugh out loud you know and sometimes i watch certain ones and i'm deeply moved i don't remember what i say you know when you're when you're busy talking you know as they say in you know so while you're talking you're not really conscious of what you're saying when you watch it afterwards the experience itself can be a lot of fun so i've had a i got a lot of them that were a lot of fun that i really enjoyed and i found very meaningful so uh i don't know that i could pick one top three um i could probably if i said that and thought about it come out with the top 30. as they were talking before this is out but once this is out i think i mean well this is of course the uh debut so that puts it up to you guys yeah [Applause] you know i started to say something i was upset about something you know whatever it was and uh ima said you know oh that's gonna become your new theme song because you ever hear that expression when you say something that's oh make it look something i said no i already have a theme song lenny solomon wrote me a theme song i have a theme song i don't need a new theme song i sing it all the time well you say you say lenny solomon this uh we have to go back to your nc's my days indeed a few of you let's start first what was your best shabbaton out of all them oh yeah that's a that's a hard question best or favorite or you could do one in one it's it's a hard one to pick when i was in los angeles so together with my good friend i was shilling first who was the uh chapter advisor of charles ceddek i was a chapter adviser it's jacob and from san diego we got together and made a chavatone in big bear it was a snow chabatov which in los angeles was considered very exciting i hate snow i've always hated snow that was one of the reasons i went to los angeles to get away from snow so we went up and everything went wrong everything went wrong the area fell down and and people didn't have it it was a tremendous mess and it was so many people actually be confirmed from that shepherd tonight it's absolutely amazing i if i had to pick one that i would say is the most meaningful and that's very hard i would have to say it was my last regional convention when i left um but the aspiration of a band was there and uh it was i don't know it was there was magic in the air it was magic in the air so if i had to pick one yeah you used to i mean we know a lot of stories about how you used to sing with the band indeed you got to perform with a lot of you know the legends of jewish people yeah they they had to part of the contract was they had to set up a microphone with me to sing along so who's your favorite singer all time first english singer putting in kids or is it really he he he sounds like a mother voice or songs both wow both i could listen to him forever he has this voice that has a magic to it and he is so uh he's just one of those real people ever i i actually was with him at a uh at a dinner in um um in los angeles and i i'm a big fan of starstruck so i was like oh for me you're not a big fan so he says when i was a book i hid at your house for showers really i said did you sings mirrors this is probably i said i sang with barclays but that's me i i i like a lot of them i like a lot of different i don't need the book but personally i hear him sing and it sounds like a mouth that's me we actually had a lot of these singers come and come through the house throughout the years indeed you want to name a few well ari goldwag harry goldwag he's he's a friend he's uh you know lenny solomon then [Music] are we here in israel oh did karite was here one time he came i think our goldberg brought him he was here in the summer is that what you're doing about it there's another time no they were doing some kind of concert here and somebody was they were friendly with somebody and they all dropped in and the miami voice cries would have dropped in [Music] anyway so uh australian guys so that was fun we had of course uh rabbi foglegorn and the the australians and stark nathan stark he was here he sang yeah moyorolovsky came in yeah okay what about crowd you know they would come in and sing um but otherwise uh wow uh yui lewis in the news i remember they were hearing the aces before we waited here that's right um otherwise i don't know who else what's your favorite song ever favorite song that's a tough one [Laughter] um i mean i think your theme song has to be one of the favorites gosh um [Music] i i've gone through the coopers you know i remember one summer we were in america and we spent the entire time in the van an entire month you guys trying to teach me the words yeah so uh so that one that was at one time um the um uh the diff man and steve we used to like for a while beautiful song yeah um yeah mama rocco was uh um there's gosh i can't even think there's there's certain ones that are just uh you know um uh what's um ari galway has a couple the big hits you know uh that i've always enjoyed um i mean his cv is on ripley here it's like yes i know he didn't record that but he wrote it yeah and his corey bunn obviously did that friday night in fact when he was on the he was on the show afterwards he said he didn't do my corey but i was like oh man i forgot we do it friday night all the time you know i tried to pick us there's so many you know let me ask you you mentioned the the curry bonnell uh we we grew up until today i mean you sing tunes from probably five six hundred what do you think about new tunes to old travis mirror songs i don't mind if i if it's if it's heartsick that's there's the things that you know some some songs you know it doesn't doesn't have the magic to it you know and uh so for example um i'll sometimes do the miami right but that doesn't have the magic of the old you know i love that yeah your mouth you fall asleep right through soup and you just pull the pull the noodles on top of you and take a quick nap you know but it has a certain magic choice there's no question there's a certain magic to it rihanna clay boots said that the um this is what i heard that he thought the nicest song was um the miami mahera but uh listen the old vegas students these are there's a classic uh to them that nobody can can oh that might be maybe one of the most beautiful songs [Music] you know you know there's a lot of these these classics but but that one has a certain but uh i was with moshi yahooda at ruby landau's house in flatbush on friday night it was quite quite an experience and my good friend rivie schrabel was there one of the original debacus people and we sang the old vegas curry bunk [Music] singing along you know and i said this is you know this is bibish rebel i mean this is vegas this is the song i mean to have that opportunity parenthetically a couple of my daughters who in america were there also and they were just shocked that you know although the men were all getting up and serving and all the women were sending me one of my daughters i won't say who because she's married now and she said you know i'm going to marry your cousin so uh there you go landows okay maybe maybe not shaved her head today all right um oh i was waiting for you someone i was just sorry i i really didn't want to be the one to bring it back to food because huh i know you're very passionate about bagels oh man there are no bagels in israel that i found they're not bagels here they have collar rolls with holes in them but uh the closest thing you can find to a real bagel is in cheaper cold they have frozen american bagels they're from america that's the closest but in america i have traveled around tried all kinds of different bagels and i must say that to my mind the best bagels that i find are in bagel town and west hampstead and i travel around different places and try them now okay i live in west you know my brother's living with hemps and i stay there you know but uh what kind of the vehicle oh gosh this is tricky my go-to is playing can i say something let's talk this cinnamon race oh bagel i like that with butter and uh sesame bagels sometimes especially when going with locks and cream cheese but i like a lot of cream cheese and i want to smear i want to you know get like a bar of cream cheese and put one half on one side the other thing put it together like this reminds me i'll say yes i was coming back one time and i bought bagels as it happens from there and i bought cream cheese to take with me for the flight and as we're going through a security they take away my cream cheese i mean there's always a lot of drama it's no reason that cream cheese it's over a certain amount of ounces and it's considered like a liquid i mean creatures i i think he thought i i'm bringing bombs in the cream cheese to explode the plane i mean not that time i wasn't but anyway i mean that's only logical i mean you see me you imagine i'm hiding a bomb in a crimson thing anyway the cancer he takes away my cream because i cried i cried i think my whip freak once i wrote a whipped cream in in a can like yeah oh okay i mean but that that's more like a liquid than cream cheese i mean not when you spritz it okay then spritz it what i should have done is just like you know like taking my carry-on and filled it up oh gosh you come back and you have a high cocoa with whipped cream oh yeah okay why can't you just put it in your your luggage i mean i didn't think of it why because because when i when i was uh platinum on uh on united i could get three bags of 70 pounds and i filled up my carry-on and i would have like a separate bag that i would take and everything was filled with stuff filled to the brim gosh what did i put in my blockage anyhow now i'm stuck with bagels with no cream cheese so um i come in there and i'm looking all around i'm not gonna find cream cheese so i go to one of these coffee shops over there and i said do you guys sell bagels or cranberries yeah we do said uh could i buy some some cream cheese he says no i can buy cream cheese i mean i have one of those big blocks one of those you know i said uh oh dude do you ever have a closed one uh okay i'm about look in the back you might yeah i have a close i said oh could i just buy the whole creek cheese he called the manager he did this and that and anyway let's just say there's a lot of cream cheese on the bed and then my mini gives i come to the bagel store and i said listen cream cheese both sides i'll pay what it is if it's extra but i don't want in this one side cream cheese you know what i mean i often will not even keep the the bagel hole i'll just do both halves because otherwise it's like i know people say i have a big mouth but is that i'm getting there what happened to the cinnamon raisin i've had cinnamon raisin no but you always taught us better and yes it was a cinnamon raisin toasted lightly pre-faced with cream cheese on both sides yeah and it's uh it's a i life-changing in that road trip to orlando i had that oh he's got a breakfast in target oh what i think bagels or something it's a bitter bitter oh my god i probably have no game now from that ever or anything i'm sure you guys had a rough time i don't know that plane was really uncomfortable yeah i know yeah heart goes out okay what else did you want to ask bring it up um all right let's so to tell do you think let's let let me take a little porn twist here you have a question no okay he was putting me on the spot you know what that's like okay i don't know what's okay why don't we remind me yeah wine wine or whiskey wine that's what it is there's no mix even just to lose it just with whiskey also always say this and uh that's that you drink one so you have a favorite wine i would have to go with baron herzog white zinfandel have you tried any of like expensive ones yeah sure that thousand dollar ones no that wasn't sure no 980 yeah no 160. i mean where are we going with this it's kind of overrated one year for firm i bought myself i probably and i don't like schnapps i don't drink schnapps but probably uh the best one i had was um uh i had uh i was by a fan soccer by my friends uh thomas holder uh irikan and um avrami khan i mean and uh he had a 30-year glenn living i was able to drink that without choking most of these alcohols are good for gunshot wounds and pour it in sanitizers you told me once on the guy you had this little tiny this guy had a hundred and forty year old scotch he wants to pay thousands of dollars about he goes i can tell you're a man who appreciates fine scotch he tastes this thing and pours into a cup like oh my gosh this is so smooth it's so this this milky sweetie gooey i don't know what to say it tastes like mouthwash i can't tell the difference all this stuff is like uh it's totally wasted on me you know in fact 40 i 140 years old wow but uh my my good friend uh and rebbe yui rubenstein who i always feel obligated to point out that very often when i speak i'm introduced as the funniest writer in the world i think the title really belongs to him but he used to do a scotch tasting in parliament and he says the correct way to drink it is scotch is you simmer your nose you you breathe in and you taste it with the tip of your tongue and uh you have these guys come to my shopping table and then they're like oh you've got an 18 year old supermother and they go like this i said what am i wasting good scotch on you foot take a bottle of bathtub gin put on an old raincoat stick it on a brown paper bag and line a doorway someplace that's the way you drink it barbarians oh speaking of you bluffing your way through uh i was with you yeah go for it should i not say it no no i tell it all the time i was with you in a trip i don't speak yiddish apparently my parents spoke yiddish as their secret language they didn't want us to know what's going on so you pick up a few phrases my oldest brother was the grayson my youngest brother was the cleaner and i was the hunter and he's the other one you know and you used to listen to phrases and give them the kindle you know so it says do but that was it i you know you know how long it took me to learn i was never able to get that out you know but i never used this and then i went to have a time where they where they learn in english and i went through shapiro shiram and i went to see crucial landscape and they learned in hebrew i never went any place but they weren't the yiddish i never learned jesus go ahead now obviously not knowing this at the time i was also 13 years old we went to england i stopped it for a few days you had some kind of uh thing you were doing there on the way we were going to america yeah obviously some sort of speaking and they sent someone to pick us up you have this nice car they can pick you up and he says hi whatever and we get in the car and he starts speaking yiddish like like fast yiddish like like the real like the real yiddish not the you know solution the the real the real yiddish it was probably a 45 minute ride or something we're going there and i'm just sitting there the whole time i don't know i don't know one way that's fine and it's like this conversation the whole time and you're just like yeah yeah yeah yes that oh voice of this i get that shade and [Applause] organization and there was a diamond cell and uh they would they would put us on a panel together and he he was speaking it and every now and then we go and he would turn them and go yeah i'd be like yeah and everybody would laugh you know like his puppy said oh you dumb uh yeah you guys don't have any uh any soul whatsoever i'm like oh my gosh i have no idea what he was saying the whole time you know but uh yeah it's a problem i never picked up yiddish i'm i'm and you give me a generation where like you know it's saturday i don't speak english you don't speak jewish you're jewish and you don't speak jewish all right we're coming to wrap up let me just uh throw out a few less important things you know after all there's a boring podcast yeah by the way that's why we're wearing these hats oh only thing is i think you actually own this part [Music] anyway let me start first what was your best program i mean people who don't know for years and years i don't know what you do uh this year now but for years and years it was always an open house policy or more people here told me they would come in it's a whole day burns from from the morning all day and then in the suda and you know our suit for some reason keeps going on late into the night and when everyone finishes somehow they pile in until you know everyone who's around is there what was what was your your best porn that's a good question thank you um that's why i'm here um sometimes we would go in and they would have a brilliant purple spill that to me is so important all right a guy asked me when should i take off time from learning you know to work on the product where they want to be the person i said absolutely i feel like a good partner has such tremendous impact on yeshiva on the actress on bringing across messages that you couldn't bring across in any other way so uh they had some they had some my great ones um it's always fun watching people try to imitate you you know most of the most people couldn't the best you know it was uh one uh one year or something and they did me and uh that was pretty good that was pretty good even though i was impressed and i was impressed oh yeah yeah i think i like getting interrupted no matter what science and stuff like that it's a little tricky getting down that uh sort of uh very refined long island accent that i had but uh but you also wrote some of the you know foreign skills yourself now we're involved and stuff oh yeah oh yeah i had i my first genetic cell i had hepatitis tubes fat and i was out for like six weeks and me and a very talented fellow ricky sepplowitz um we were locked up together we had hepatitis and we just spent six weeks working on a perma spill it was a work of art it was just one of the greatest things that was ever done and um a tremendous amount of effort uh went into it and uh and it showed it was great um but they had some in uh ursula that were really professional those were those really good but um you know it's a tricky thing because uh you know you always call the sudo for whatever time it is and people don't show up on time and then you're trying to get to see this started and things you know but when people show up on time and they don't get sick drunk because to me just watching people being drunk to me is no fun but you know they get uh you know people get a little tipsy and people have fun and you know that to me is a great problem so we had a few problems like that over the years um and uh and those are the ones that are really meaningful and what we used to do as you know we had a minute is that we would save all the shahmar's until after the sudden and we'd bring them all out and open up each one us and learn shot in them and well what they were trying to do with this one and this thing and then we would divide them all up you know okay these are like baffling and these are you know hard candies and these are cans you know i mean you know these are bottles you know it set everything up you know everybody knows all the chocolates there that's what you put your eyes on the next name [Music] what do you think about the whole you know repackaging childhood isn't sending them on um there's a uh the french beloved says as a question can you give shalom right because i give you doing something like that then they should give it back so this is it it is basically i don't tell myself he gives you no that's an exchange there's two different ones this isn't i give you the shock monitor if you give it back to me so it's only yours if you give it back to me so so he says he comes down but that's no good because uh the purpose of it is to create the shoulder and this does not create you okay but um i i don't like the idea of repackaging because if somebody went to the trouble to send me a shallow himalayas i feel like that has a certain koshevis to me that i don't want to exchange to somebody else that's me you know i have gotten my own childhood mother's back went through went through a circuit i ended up getting back now i don't care because i like my shotgun it's better than i like those you know and uh and that's uh you know but personally i'm not a big fan of the repackaging i just have to mention you were talking about the probe night so another uh singer that came by ellie levin used to come here because here for a few years on the horns remember he got dressed up to as a nun he came in a pregnant nun and he was like pissed out on the floor was i no no that was a different one but he was there was labor day they had that comes it's there late into the night if you remember and stuff uh ellie levin you know i like that sure so we know him as the pregnant nun for quite a while later later on later on ellie also famous singer today so he also came by all right we're coming to a rap on the time where time is closed has been over you know we prepared a lot i mean i don't think rachel i don't think we went through even oh i'm saying i have pages still right all right well well we'll have to do another one oh well maybe maybe before we end it is important maybe you know ish maybe something to do with current maybe i don't know he quotes the fla who says a young kid for a perm is great he says why should that be so he says the qaddish says that there are three prerequisites for cabal satire and one of them is actors here's let go see you think he says but obviously the more these factors are there the greater it is we had a greater capacity to remember he moved the cuban chemo mushroom could look far it was a higher level of kabbalah saturn why so he says it must be there was a great achtus and he says why he says because on uh harsinai [Music] you can turn around the two letters make it pretty separate so we weren't fighting but that's not the same actus that comes from being interactive there's something really special about knowing we're all going to be killed tomorrow that brings people together you've been killed tomorrow me too you'll go first you know but knowing that we're all going to die gentlemen if we do not hang together then we will surely hang separately you you need each other he says that's the difference onion kipper okay so people aren't fighting but on purity there's an interactive that's what it's all about the the manas is there to to bring people together the the purim is there that we should be able to develop a sense of ashes and so as we go into the first real post corona purim um oh for us not for the rest of the world necessarily no because that's why everyone crazy is because they said the last part that's where it really spread to the front community so that's what got everybody bent out of shape so the the truth of the matter is that uh this is the first corona where you know that i i don't know i'd show you already centered around the back we shouldn't go around collecting you know and the purity the health ministry said that should only be nuclear families and um uh you know so the very day which is dedicated to actress unfortunately uh we have to be able to create that actors even though we're apart beautiful that's beautiful thank you sort of like a rabbi you should you should uh make speeches i mean it sounds like you do this for a living i don't make a living but this is what i do for a living you ever consider a career all right okay so this this was uh was great um unfortunately i mean all good things come to an end and bad things too everything sometimes it just keeps going and going i mean until well yes so uh i've been on every note i've been yeah this is my brother schwab that's right argue with and this is no question that the two of you are my favorite oldest and youngest sons i mean that is indisputable if we weren't i mean something very weird has been going on um obviously you've been uh rabbi orlovsky and this was the right and they may continue to we'll see god willing okay so that's it uh for this special forum episode we're about to show you go to my website revealouty.com where you can leave a comment i could sponsor an episode you can uh
