You have to just translate words. >> Yes. >> I'm a big translator. >> A new language. >> Yes. That's what I do. That's what I do because you know what? Not everyone understands Yiddish. >> Wow.

How do you say profusely in Yiddish? >> Van. >> Obviously, we're getting to know Benny right now and he's actually very very funny. Did I know that Ben Shaper Friedman is very funny? I did not know this. I'm very happy to be a part of bringing to the belt how funny he is and not just, you know, for his music videos, but that's like production. That's not like sitting over here just, you know, letting blues putting your foot up like this. You see how we both have our feet up? It's like one row and you know what? Just having a good time. You ever do like a foot fight with the other >> when you're in Spirit Airlines, you have to coordinate with the guy sitting next to you. How >> you see me do that? You know how are how your feet are configured because if not, you're going to start running into problems, you know. Yeah. Oh, pardon me. Pardon me. I That's not a good thing. >> Have it come and clear. Okay. Pay attention. This is what we're going to do today. Benny, if you're okay with it, besides the fact that I'm dripping sweat, but here's >> Should we get a mas? >> See, I'm working on it. >> That's fantasy. Akin of N. >> A king of N. >> I have a proposal for Benny and if he's okay with it, we're going to go a I don't remember the last time people sat around when someone with someone this this big this big of a is having a concert and and they said to the why don't you let us know what songs you would like the Hiligan Benny and Cen Freriedman to do at his concert. I had this idea in my head and I'm crazy so much of Boogie Woogie Mishuga. >> Yeah. >> That I created a Benny Friedman playlist >> for the concert. >> No, no, no. Of just all your what I think are your top songs. >> Oh, wow. >> And it's about 45 of them. >> Oh, wow. >> And I figure we're going to go through them on what I call shuffle. >> Chef Shuffle, of course. >> And then we're going to we're going to go through them and obviously we'll sing, "Oh, I haven't done this one in forever." And then you'll have your opinions. I'll have my opinions. But then how about we let the decide >> on five 10 songs of Benny. Maybe you could do >> five or 10. >> Maybe we could do like a shovel like one minute a song of what they pick. >> You know what? What if we do a chef? >> This is not planned, guys. This is not one of those. Okay. >> This is not guaranteed either. Not Not only we didn't plan it, it also might not even happen. >> I don't like that. But >> yes, >> this is an idea that I just thought of now. >> Oh, here we go, boys. What if we do a chef a shuffle segment of the show? Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the chef shuffle segment. >> Wow. >> And then we just chef a shuffle it up. >> So now you just have to explain to me how that would work. >> Are you talking about like all artists the way I do a chappa shuffle? Are you talking about Betty Friedman? If if it's all artists, but I still have to be the one who sings the song cuz I'm not going to be bringing Schlama Carbach to the event. It's going to be that's going to be way too >> I think Miami Boy is around the corner. You can just call >> Miami Boy. We're about to be gone. Get the night. >> This is just endless. It's a endless It's a endless wealth. >> Well, it's a round and round like a circle. >> And you have to push it. >> You have to get them. If you don't get them, you move on. They come. They come. four lines with the wide lash come and play. >> I see what happened just now. >> It's always by the two dots, right? >> By the two dots. >> You know they say I'm sure you've heard this bashab. >> Yeah. >> Sleeping in chabas is why they say because is very very thick. >> Excellent. When they lay down on the on shabas is that is excellent. I love every second of that. Okay. Yeah. So, how about we do this? Why don't you Why don't you play this playlist that that that I sent you, which we haven't heard yet, by the way. All I did was take songs and just put them in this. And I I think you're going to click shuffle. >> This amazing. I'm going to click shuffle. It's >> chef shuffle. >> And we could also talk about them cuz a lot even the ones we may not do. People may not know who wrote that, where they came from, what were you. Let's >> I have to remember all this information. >> Oh, no. Some of it. I'll try to remember the rest. >> Here we go. Ready? So, first up here we have Tom. You guys remember this song? I love that part of the song. You get really [Music] [Applause] [Music] Can I stop? >> I don't know what the rules are. >> Yes. >> Where's that from? >> Talk to me. See, I didn't know that. I should know that said those words in that where >> where's the word in >> the said it and the sang it with a tune there's a recording of it you can hear it >> wow you decided to put it like that on your own how many people know that I'll take nobody for 200 >> okay so if you like this song which I have is probably one of my favorite songs and I think I think we should let the see if they want to vote on this song >> every song they have to make a vote No. >> Oh, >> no. Just the ones we do. >> Oh, just the ones we do. >> Okay, very good. I was just with my kid in the dentist. There was a sign on the on the wall that said, "You don't have to brush all your teeth. Only the ones you want to keep." >> That's brilliant. >> So, that's brilliant. >> We don't have to vote on all the songs, but know who wrote this song. Tommo. >> Oh, I'll take nobody for 200. Who knows who can guess? Yeah. >> Was it the Marcus? >> Oh my goodness. First guess it was >> Yes. Marcus. >> He actually wrote another song on the album as well. We'll get there. I think we're going to get there. Let's not let's not give it away. >> Let's not give it away. But I will tell Julie wrote this one and the other one that we're not going to give away wrote. Yeah. Yeah. >> Let's go. Daddy Tommy was the first time. Okay. Next. >> Yeah. Sometimes there's no there's no words that you have to say. I know who wrote this cuz he's one of my favorite composers of all time. He's one of the heavy. No, you see that's what I realized. No name. Nate. Was it? >> Let's fight this out. >> Let's fight this out. You ready? The word is greatest of all time. It doesn't say the greatest of all time. the was added. It's not to goat. People added who is the greatest of all time. >> But you wouldn't say you wouldn't say wow, he is goat. >> But here's why. Cuz you can also read it as he's one of the greatest of all time, >> right? But I will say that you you maybe you could say that there are multiple the greatest of all times >> obviously >> but they each individually are the greatest >> like every exactly >> exactly but not every is greatest of all time. No no every time individual is the greatest the greatest. First of all so Anyone know [Music] this country?

In the last 10 years, to me, he's the greatest of all time. But before that, he wrote 300 songs for Yidden that people don't know. And this is one of them. Obviously, you know that Guri did it also, right? >> You don't know this song? >> No, they do now. Also redid it the other, right? Of course I know. You guys should do it together. >> Okay.

Swam is like a different thing. >> So basically what you want to do is you want to take it out so you could add someone. >> I need I need a space. >> He doesn't think. >> I need a space. I need I need to clear up a space. I'm trying to come up with an excuse. Okay. Okay. >> You know what I mean? Without offending. >> No. No. I got it. I think I made you do the same.
