okay um hi sh hi there blood brother hey
Blood Brother Hey I just want to let
everyone know that we're making sure
that we got a blood brothers in before
before we got haircuts cuz both of us
have our our long morning hair morning m
o u r n i n g not morning like Bed Head
um hair of the morning of the m o r n i
n g but morning as in grieving
yeah I've told you my my hilarious uh
Tish greeting that I do to everybody
Tish night I go up to everybody because
you're not allowed you're not allowed to
greet people on because everyone's in
morning for the destruction of the
temple everyone morning so I go up to
people and I say good morning and then
good morning and they look at me and
they're like you're not all you're not
allowed to do that and then and then
they think for a second and then they
groan
um so I think we should explain cuz all
types of people watch this uh podcast
and some people may be listening and may
not be watching so they might not get
the visual cues but we both have our
long hair right
now and that's because that's
a that's one of the traditions of
morning that you're not supposed to cut
your hair and I thought it was only for
30 days I thought cutting your hair was
for 30 days and then after 30 days days
you could cut your
hair but
um well I I knew that for other for
other relatives 30 days is you know you
cut your hair after 30 days and for a
parent um then 30 days and then other
people have to comment to
youur until his actually the the
language is until his friends chastise
him or I don't know how how would you
translate
yeah I guess chastise is good I I've
been translating as make fun of but the
but rebit Herz in Chicago told me that
that was inaccurate what did he say it
was because he made fun of me about
being bald and I said oh so I can get a
haircut now he said no it's not making
fun of it is uh yelling at you yelling
at you right yeah yelling at you so um
after I just want to I don't I don't I
don't want to to to say l about rabit
hurs he didn't say make fun of me about
being bald somebody else there made fun
of me about being bald and then I in his
presence and then you said up yeah that
should count right somebody's making fun
of my hair uhuh okay very good
um so you went back to Chicago no you
were sitting there this is during uh
during Shiva oh during Shiva okay yeah
for sure that wouldn't have helped
during Shiva because right you have to
at least it has to at least be 30 days
but um and anyway so after the 30 days I
was sort of goating people to yell at
me and people you know they would do it
like oh okay fine you want me to yell go
get a haircut go get a haircut um and
then I asked arov and he's like no no no
it's three months and I'm like whoa
three months so um what what was
interesting to me is at first after the
first 30 days I was sort of like having
to egg people on to yell at me about my
long hair but it was all like a joke now
at this point people are actually mad at
me it's very it's it's very interesting
to see the language of halaka play out
in real life because when I read that
language Shu that his friends are gonna
yell at him who's gon to yell at who who
actually yells at somebody but it's
starting to happen now people are
actually mad at me they're like will you
get a haircut already it's like it's not
nice will you get like they're actually
at
it's so interesting I'll tell you what's
interesting to me I I've commented
before that I feel like there's a a bias
towards acknowledging and understanding
a certain personality type in halaka
that there's exceptions made for for
people who are particularly sensitive
and like need things to be uh very
orderly or not too weird right the the h
regarding an isness we've spoken about
this before that there are many halic
leniencies that are granted towards c a
very particular personality type yes
because that personality type would have
trouble upholding the H yes right but
they're not exempt from the the changes
for them which is is fascinating because
there's other types of of differences
that halaka accounts for by saying all
right the person can't do that Mitzvah
they're exempt from it or you know they
can't do that but but for this type of
person for the sensitive person for the
fastidious person it it the Hal morphs
for them um but there's there's no Haka
that says like if you if boredom is
physically painful for you you don't
have to go to a minion there's no
there's no recognition is
boring okay right you're you're yeah
thank you um so relating to the hair
thing this hair hak about when people
start yelling you can you can cut your
hair when people start yelling at you to
me that comes from that world like comes
from the world of like all these hakas
that I don't relate to like trying to
think of examples of isas I don't relate
to of things where it's like oh this is
too too chaotic for you that you don't
have to do it um that I just it's just
not part of
my perception of the world and it's not
part of my Judaism but this is a
wonderful little piece of of Judaism
where um I get to it's a halaka that's
that for me comes from that world but
then I get to experience it because it's
about other people's reaction to me and
imposing that on
me does that make any sense no I didn't
follow that at all really I'm not trying
to be funny I didn't follow that at all
I don't I don't ever need to get a
haircut like the Haka that says like oh
you can't get a haircut because you're
mourning I don't care I get I honestly
always get a haircut whenever people
tell me to whenever people yell at me
uhuh uhhuh I have no sense I have no
when is it time to get a haircut when
people start commenting yes always okay
so see I'm the exact opposite when my
hair gets long it it hurts I get
physical pain from it pulling really
yeah when I'm lying down I can't fall
asleep because the pull pillow is
pulling it it's very hard for me
yes makes me depressed I get depressed
when my hair is long how you doing now
you know I want to tell you something
the the the genius of this custom of
having to Davin three times a day being
kazin three times a day has kept me has
kept me so
busy
that not only have I not been able to be
depressed about the long hair but I
haven't really been able to
fully feel like
super
sad but I I don't want to say I haven't
felt super sad about mourning cuz I I am
mourning
but the having to catch a plane three
times a day to me that's how it feels I
mean it's like having to catch a plane
three times a day you have to be on time
for a minion three times a day it has
kept me so
occupied that
um yeah it's sort of staves off a lot of
the overthinking and
depression induc thoughts that I
normally
have do you do you think that's the the
purpose of it I don't know I'm I'm
suspicious that it may be part of it
it's about keeping you so busy that you
don't have time to like
wallow
like I don't know
perhaps yeah I feel like
there's this this that's not a
contradiction there can be multiple
facets to it the thing that to me that
I've been feeling is that you tell
somebody they have to say c
three times a day with a minion um
they're you're forcing them to be around
people and be part of the community yeah
that too okay so it's being busy and
it's being forced not to isolate those
two go hand in hand they're they're
they're similar things it's keeping you
busy and it's keeping you among people
which definitely you could see why both
of those things would keep you out of
like really deep I mean it
would and mitigate to some extent any
type of like real deep sadness um right
but before we go on regarding people
getting angry at other people about
having long hair so yeah I I showed this
to you after 30 days and I want to show
it again because to me this is the
iconic I'm probably going to get a
copyright strike for this but I just
want to share the iconic moment or image
to me of um being angry at somebody for
having long
hair um I don't know what this is from
by the way I remember you sent it to me
I don't know what it's okay hold on just
don't don't ruin it I'm gonna I'll I'll
explain in one
second so you don't know what that is no
that is the iconic scene from Easy Rider
that's uh Dennis Hopper and Jack
Nicholson Dennis Hopper after they do
the whole movie is like they transport
these drugs and I think it's cocaine and
they make they they sell it they get
their money and like the whole Adventure
is over hooray they did it and then the
very end just like this very senseless
death of one of the two pro protagonists
where a redneck shoots him for having
long hair and he dies oh no that's like
the last yeah that's like the last
minute of the movie why you get a
haircut boom shoots him he dies and then
I think the I think think Jack Jack
Nicholson chases after the rednecks and
they shoot him too and he dies and then
they're both dead that's the end of the
movie everybody dies the end it's very
1960s it's very like um you know uh
nihilistic
yeah so anyways why don't you get a hair
because the thing that that I think of
the thing that I think of that I sent to
you as well when you sent me that my
response with this about yelling at
people for having long hair is
long-haired freaky people need not
apply that's
correct long-haired freaky people need
not apply but you know there's a hack
for
that you put out put put your hair up
under your hat pick up my hair up under
my hat yeah that's the that's the hack
the
life he said you look like a fine young
standing look like a fine upstanding
young man
right yelled at him yeah the guy was
really nice to him so I have I have by
the way a series of I'll never make
these because it's not important enough
to me but a series of YouTube videos
anyone knows references can we just say
that anyone knows references should
write them in the comments yeah Easy
Rider I gave away but this yeah you gave
away long hair freaky people need not
apply I picked up my hair out under my
hat and went right inside you can Google
that and put that in the comments I had
this idea for a YouTube video or a
series of YouTube videos that goes
through each of some of the the
scenarios in in that song which I just
gave away that it's a song um but that
one is like I imagine a context where
there's like this guy in 60s or 70s
whenever the song was 70s and uh he's
owns a hardware store and his son is
telling him you got to be more
open-minded it's like you know why do
you even have that sign long hair freaky
people he's like it's just a joke and
he's like you know what you're right you
know I should be more open-minded and
then the guy comes in with his hair
tucked up under his hat and he yells at
the guy and makes him feel bad says H
you like he KN he could tell that that
there was hair tucked up under the hat
and the guy probably had a big scruffy
beard and he was like trying to be
open-minded and nice but now the
long-hair freaky people guy was just
trying to make a point and yell at him
and now then he
cries you want to make that into a movie
little YouTube short no just a short
just a well it wouldn't be a YouTube
short it would be a short in the text of
regular
things but it would be by the way it's
interesting you said the 60s or the 70s
whenever it came out and I was thinking
to myself well you know we associate it
with the 60s but probably like most
things we associate with the 60s it was
probably the early 70s and I just looked
it up it was
1971 all right so right there on the on
the
cusp so can I share with you some
insights that I've had being a hin three
times a day yes please the past 3
months okay please do I had well one
Insight that I had cuz when I'm doing K
you know when I'm
repeating the amida out
loud and I hear myself doing it twice a
day you don't do it at M if you do it
shakas and morning and afternoon prayer
so I hear myself doing it out loud so I
do it at my but once I start they can't
stop me um by the way how I I don't want
to put you on the spot but how how has
SAS been because there have been two
SAS since we started um one of them I
ledis so I there are there's two of us
who are saying KES at the minion that I
go to so we we switch
off um and so I didn't do it the other
day but I did it sarot Tavis and I did
not like
it yeah okay so um
first of all I noticed like a lot of the
language the phrasing of the 18
blessings of the
amido it's
like kind of repetitious after after you
do uh after
kadha
um
uh like I don't know there's a certain
Rhythm to it
um okay I'm not finding it right now I
should have prepared this better but
I'll tell you the one thing that I came
up with okay
[Music]
yeah return our judges
as as it used to be as it once was you
know in the old
days and our
advisers as it was in the beginning
remove from us groaning
and
sighing you rule over us only you with
kindness and mercy but with
righteousness and Justice blessed
isem the king who loves righteousness
and judgment okay so I don't think this
ISAT but I think this is um you know I
think I don't think this is the lital
meaning but I think it's a nice
V what does it
mean why does it come in here to this
blessing to say remove from
us um groaning and
sighing like what does it have to do
with that okay it's talking about the
justice system okay so okay what's the
difference between AET and a yit AET is
a judge a yit is an adviser theb speaks
about
this where a a judge
speaks he speaks from above to below
meaning with authority top down top
down y an adviser is a horizontal
relationship he's he brings himself down
to your level he speaks to you in ways
that you can understand as opposed to a
judge who just gives a ruling and you
don't have to understand you just have
to follow it but a y an adviser somebody
who gets down to your level and explains
things to you so that you can absorb it
okay so that's what an adviser
is there's a story a famous
story that the Reb the fourth his two
sons the rashab and the were playing
they were little kids and they were
playing and some kids play Cowboys and
Indians or cops and robbers or whatever
kids play and they were playing RAB and
and how did they play RAB and
um the older
one said I'll be the and you the younger
one which ironically the younger brother
was the successor he was the one who
actually grew up to be the Reb which was
somewhat unusual um so the older brother
tells the younger brother I'll be the
Reb you be the and you come to me and
you ask me for a Tik for a you know a
rectification of something you did wrong
so the little brother brother plays
along he comes in to the pretend uh
meeting and he says I ate nuts on chabas
which I think is very cute that that was
like the worst spiritual problem that he
could conjure up in his mind um the
problem would be cracking the nuts
because separating the nut from the show
the separating the nuts it's considered
sorting it's not even according to all
opinions but according to the AL it
could be a problem it's better to be
strict not to eat well if the nuts are
sh nuts that's fine but I'm saying nuts
with shells on them where you have to
break the nuts and you're separating the
nuts from the from the shell and then it
could be a problem of sorting so he says
I was eating you know nuts from the
shell on
chabas so the older brother says to him
okay well here's your tikon here's your
rectification is that whenever you say a
blessing you should read it from inside
the prayer
book so the little brother says to the
older
brother you're not a
reab he says why am I not a reab like
you tell me I'm not a like what did I do
already like this that's a very
plausible answer that a Reb could have
given
a so the little brother says to the
older
brother because before he answers he has
to give a sigh so it wasn't the answer
itself you could say you know you have
to read from a prayer book that's fine
but before you answer you're supposed to
sigh and when the rebba told that story
The rebba said sometimes the Sigh is
like the most important part okay so
here's empathy the empathy exactly that
it's not so much the advice it's the
empathy it's the empathy okay so here's
what I
thought restore our judges like as of
old okay fine that's that's whatever but
but the main thing are Yim people who
can really empathize with us who can get
on our level and and and understand us
and show us that they understand us like
like it used to be like it's a lost art
a real y who can really empathize and if
you'll give us those
people remove from us theigh because
when you have somebody who knows how to
sigh with you it removes your sigh or at
least it mitigates your
sigh and that was the thought that I had
when I was repeating this out
loud
interesting I'm I'm not I'm not
convinced that that
the only goes on the second thing on
yeah but my V works better if it does
well the other way you could do it is
figure out the difference between Yogen
and Ana and the yogin is removed when
the sh come back and the an is removed
when the him come back yeah yeah okay
write it
up yeah the thing that you said you said
before there's this thing there's a
repetition I was noticing also a lot of
a lot of the bras have a like a a rule
of three three yeah three a set of three
things Rhythm
yeah well and also there's like cause
and effect like I noticed which is
interesting like
um I don't
know heal us hem and we'll be
healed save us and we'll be saved it's
an interesting interesting kind of
Rhythm there
yeah so do you get nervous when you
sayal shim that you're gonna every
single time and I do stumble it makes me
nervous and it makes me stumble please
explain the background for people who
may not understand this phobia
there is a comes from gamar originally
that says that if some thein is reciting
the repetition of the amida and he uh
and
they
stutter in saying the
this um which is the braa that is asking
for bad things for the
Heretics um then you're supposed to
remove him supposed to take him down
away from the take him down from the
pulpit yeah yeah tear him down which
I've always imagined as as as tackling
as people just tackling the guy I have a
rabbit hole where I described in detail
how I imagine this right cuz like if you
imagine how it plays out in the
reasoning behind the is this heretic is
afraid of cursing himself so he
hesitates and he starts St
and your phob as well as mine is that
you'll start studing stuttering not
because you're afraid of cursing
yourself not because you're actually a
heretic but because you're
afraid right it's you're afraid that
people that you're afraid that you'll
stutter and be thought of as a heretic
and then that itself makes you
stutter yeah and then and yeah but the
thing is like nobody even I've told I
mentioned this to people many times like
every don't even know a lot of times I
sto doing I sto mentioning to people but
at the beginning I was mentioning to
them every single time after like oh V
ma makes me so nervous nobody knew what
I was talking about because this is
something that's just ex like I think
about it every single time and I've
thought about it beforehand too like
something that is a central part of for
you know that there's a custom and it's
in safeer and hog him that you say
shab I'm just slurring my words right
here hold on a second I have to look
inside the S
um yeah yeah yeah okay so when it
comes immediately or
speedily
uproot and
break and Crush comma you see there's a
comma and
subjugate you're supposed to pause by
that comma because the three those first
three are gim clip tus the irredeemable
Clipper and the the fourth one is klipas
NOA which is not irredeemable it just
needs to be put in its place that's why
you subjugate it you don't have to
destroy it you just have to put it in
its place so you have to pause there
according to Min kabad so not only am I
nervous about stuttering at that braa
but I'm trying not to stutter while also
trying to pull off that pause I didn't
even know about that so thanks a lot you
what I do I take an inhale like you do
when you I learned it from teas schaer
when you do the Schaffer and you have to
do certain uh pauses so that's where you
do your actually no you shouldn't
breathe well it depends it depends on
the pause supposed to breathe during the
entire during each of the Coos right
right but you're supposed to breath
breathe between the different
coo yeah Okay now what's strange to me
about this brco what yeah you because
you brought in schaer now they're all
confused confus all right well this is
what is is strange to me about
theim the BAM minim thing the heretic
blessing and and uh tearing somebody
tackling somebody when they mess it up
yeah is I I spoke about on The Rabbit
Hole uh this idea of like this must be a
really self-aware heretic that the
reason why they're like they can't get
the words out because like I know I'm a
heretic cuz if he's really a don't want
to say bad things about heretic then he
shouldn't believe in the power of that
blessing
right or maybe like there's two types of
either it's a heretic who's like I don't
believe in all this garbage and nonsense
in which case fine go make a mockery of
the BR like what are you scared about it
um or it's somebody who has like a a
twisted version of Judaism that's not
the heretic and heretic but they're like
right you guys are the truly believe it
right he knows he's the one the is
referring to
and he agrees that it's true
but yes yes it agrees that it's true and
is afraid that God that if he asks God
to curse the Heretics then he will be
cursed so why doesn't he just stop being
a heretic yeah so
that no he can't I don't know he really
likes it um but the other half of it
that that I just thought of now which is
I actually do have trouble saying that
brooka not just because I'm afraid of
getting tackled but I have trouble
saying it because it's it's really harsh
and like I like I say we're saying like
you know praying asking God to
completely destroy and crush and wipe
out all of the Heretics and like I feel
bad about it and it's hard for me um but
none of the hak has ever mentioned that
possibility like there's never I've
never seen any anywhere not in gar the
original gamar and not anywhere in any
of the places that it's mentioned no
mentions maybe this guy stutter because
he because he's not a nice guy and
doesn't want to be mean to the
Heretics no I never saw
that no but like yeah it gets
me you're really your connection is
really chopping up over here it's uh
like you're running through a strobe
light I probably see every 10th
Frame my internet connection has been
really really terrible recently I don't
know why m
so what else do you want to tell us
about your uh s kadish or your Morning
Experience no I I don't have anything
else to say I one of the things that
I've been trying is um I I haven't been
doing as
much recently but one of the things that
I was trying for a while every so often
I'll do it again is to to read to when
I'm doing the shots to say it like it's
actual word like read it like like it
has meaning as opposed to like you get
into a groove of saying in a sing songy
way and I try to like sometimes just say
it as if I'm trying to say things that
like say what it means um that's
fun it feels
weird I mean not to go with the Rhythm
but actually to read
it like it's um it's supposed to
be but to say it like that and like
while you're doing the how do people
react to that well what ends up
happening is like especially in Nat BR
because it it is really intense it's an
intense brast so I like I say it really
intensely and then the next one also
gets very intense because of that
because it becomes this contrast so
you're like and all the good people help
please bless them in all of these
different ways this way and that way and
that way and there's like all of the the
like the commas the lists of things be
start building on each other when if
you're trying to say it with meaning
then you're listing all these synonyms
or whatever which usually we just you
know just say them but if you
say this one doesn't have a list hang on
yeah
oh there's a a buildup because if you're
not just saying
words um are you able to say kades
without looking inside
now I am now yeah I just got there yeah
um I'll tell you one experience also
something I was wondering I was
wondering about kishun is why do we stop
we say um I'll
um in
in
yeah Tom yeah so
um why do we we're only asking for the
rabbis and their students and their
student students why do we stop there
why don't we say students students
student
students Tomy Tommy day Tommy day Tommy
day Tommy
day
yeah you know when when the spartum say
they're super long codish for all I
know you know like the spartum they have
tons of extra
like they have like extra words and
they're codish so for all I know that
that's one
ofra
yeah so you say why do we experience
tell day why why don't we say Tommy day
Tommy day
Tommy yeah why
why great
question that's it I don't have an
answer I just have a
question um why why do we say um though
the those in this place and those in
every
place what about every other
place I don't know I'm just try to no we
do say
every in this place and in every other
place right no whatever I was just
trying to add on to your thing why do we
even me why are we even mentioning
places to begin with is is interesting
to me it's like if you would just say
bless all of the good people all the
teachers and their students like
why do you have to specify it's
interesting it's an interesting
language
yeah
um so one of the things I noticed
sometimes 90% of the time I Davin at
kabad kabad of the five towns and it's
awesome to have a minion so close to my
house and a regular minion and a minion
where I know it's built in they start
the same time every time and it's
guaranteed pretty much that I have the
aled there a few times where you know I
had to give up the aled and I so what I
did is I went to the aisle which is like
15 minutes away so sometimes though I I
90 90 to 95% of the time I D at kabad
but sometimes I go to the O like today I
went to the o and um you know the last
is not kabad well you know it's it's
interesting there's lots there's lots of
types of people there um no but when I
say kabad I mean kabat of the five towns
so
um when I D at the a so first of all the
latest minion on a weekday in Five Towns
kabad minion is is 7:30 and generally
I'm the I'm the K at the
7:30 um so if I ever want to you know
get a little bit extra sleep and do it
at 9ine or 10 or whatever I have to go
to the aisle so I've D in there a bunch
of time shakas well other as well but
primarily shakas when I need a later
minion N9 or 10 today I actually D I
think it was at at 11 um so what's
interesting
is I don't know if you noticed this and
I don't know if you've been in this
situation but it's very hard to get
people to communicate clearly with you
that they're part of your
minion it's almost like they want to
keep it secret like they don't want you
to know and and I don't know if it's
this sounds like this is only an issue
if you're in a place where there are
many minion happening right so exactly
that was precisely the situation there's
one minion in the front of the room I'm
a minion in the back of the room there's
50 people in the room but you're not
really sure who's in your minion who's
in the other minion who's not in a
minion at all um and and you need at
least six people who are all at least
going to say we going to say the am
together and uh so I've come to sort of
like not be
so like against my nature this is
against my I I've I've come to not be so
nervous about it like if it feels like a
few guys have committed to diving with
me I just sort of roll with it um
because it's really hard if you want to
check at like each
juncture like okay are you with me are
you with me are you with me are you with
me it's almost like people like avoid
eye contact like they they almost
pretend like they're I have no idea what
you're
asking I don't know if it's like fear of
commitment they don't want to be locked
in they don't want to be forced to have
to stay to the end I don't know what it
is but they make it really really hard
to know that they're with you so I've
just sort
of kind of adjust usted myself to that
that if it feels like people are with me
they're probably with me I don't have to
get a really clear response so like
today what happened is was very
interesting a guy comes out to me
afterward it's like we had six guys
right we had six guys so I said to him
you know were you doing with me like cuz
he's asking me we had six guys were you
doing with me he's like yeah I'm like so
I'm sure we had six guys cuz I didn't
even know you were doing with me like
you weren't even one of the six I was
counting right so I'm sure and then he
walked away and some guy comes over to
me he's like you know that special that
people say to you if you were thein I'm
like oh you were doing with me he's like
yeah yeah I was doing with you I'm like
okay you're another guy I didn't even
know
right it's so interesting and and then
another guy oh you ding with me there
were three guys doing with me I didn't
even recognize we doing with me um add
that to the
you know Five Guys plus me that I was
sort of cognizant were doing with me I
probably had 15 guys in my minion but if
you would have asked me how many people
can you say for sure were with you I
would say
three it's a weird
thing have you experienced that yeah I
I'm trying to figure out I well I
haven't been in a place where that would
be be the case I I can relate to the
idea of not wanting to am answer a
question asked to me not not wanting to
identify being part of something I can
like put project myself into that but I
I wouldn't do that because I know how
many work and I know you got to figure
out the numbers and so I would I would
be very clear about it so I'm trying to
understand the psychology even before I
had to be kazin and before I had to be
in that situation I always would answer
people
clearly I would tell them no if I'm not
with them I would say no no I'm not with
you don't count me I'm not with you but
I would
communicate right it's it's very
interesting I'll be like standing there
looking
around and like literally I know there's
another five six guys who are with me
who are not claiming it and they see me
going and they're
just right like all COI like alcoy like
I don't get
it I have zero insight into this aspect
of human
nature yeah I don't
know what else what else have you
experienced isn't it kind of cool to be
like done doing so early in the
day um this is going to sound bizarre to
a lot of people uh but it's is going to
sound familiar to other people but I go
my entire
day thinking about when I'm going to put
on when I'm going to Dom and put on the
filing like and then I remember that I
already
have uhhuh so it'll be like 4 p.m. and
you're did I D today like oh yeah like
yeah eight hours
ago yes yes but it's so weird it feels
like
yesterday I know you're talking about
yeah yes well I I'll it's particularly
weird um
if I am in a situation where I do doin
later the next day you get like then you
go such a long time without having Davin
it's really
weird and then especially having Davin
minhan MV the earliest like do MV in the
winter you know do Myra at like 450 or
whatever it is 5 o'clock
um and uh and then yeah you can just go
a long time without
doub do you have any recommendations for
people who are in the year in morning in
morning people recommendations for I
mean not for like the emotional stuff I
don't want to really go there right now
I'm not really prepared for that but
more like
realized I want to get a t-shirt that
says uh I'm not a morning person
what with a
u
what with a u m o u r right right right
I'm not a morning
person
yeah uhuh but the thing is I am a
morning person this year yeah I've
enjoyed not having to go to
weddings that's not a problem for me I
don't get invited to weddings so it this
never comes up I get invited to tons of
weddings
and I kind of have to go but for a few
people where I had like a social debt to
them I would go for Thea and they would
be very appreciative because they would
know that I could only stay for Thea and
then I was leaving now what's
interesting is I would do that before as
well and people were not appreciative
right but now they're very appreciative
oh you came from the even though you
have to leave right after the
ho yeah
yeah you shouldn't make a big deal for
the yard side um so that you can keep
this going for as long as
possible right because people will just
kind of like lose
track yeah so like don't don't like do a
public thing commemorating the Ard side
just let people think oh it must be
still be going on by the way jfyi are
you aware that T's first yard site is on
chabus is it I thought I did the math
and it couldn't come out on chabas it is
oh man hold on a second
so let's just calculate it right now
wasn't
it well your test
klive

test was
Friday yud was

as as you know it is customary for
someone who has yite to be the kin for
all of theas of of that
day yeah so start
practicing I think I remember you
telling me tell me if you remember this
but I think I remember you telling me
that once in Miami the BAM
DAV Shak and shabus and you were kazin
and you didn't sing the like n you just
said the words and somebody came over to
you afterwards and said when somebody
doin like that on chabas it doesn't even
feel like
shabis did that happen um yeah well what
I remember I don't remember that line I
remember I davm but I the for whatever
reason the only like um tune that I knew
was the M shabas tune so I did that um
but didn't I didn't even know that that
was inappropriate like wasn't the right
one cuz I don't pay attention at all but
like I like I had that in my head like
this is how you D on chabas so I did
that and somebody came up to me
afterward and said you're not allowed to
D on chabas
again
yeah all right start practicing the
shabas my father-in-law by the way um
has had people come up to him on y sites
and tell him I think somebody once came
up to him and said said that was a
business
Zan
it a disgrace you shouldn't be allowed
to die a disgrace you shouldn't be allow
was on a weekday or I hope that
doesn't on a weekday I I believe my
father-in-law likes telling
self-deprecating stories and I hope it's
okay for me to repeat it because it's
different when I'm telling it about him
not him telling about himself but um I
love all of those stories because they
make me feel feel uh like I'm not alone
and all of the embarrassing things that
happen
yeah any other uh do you want
to speak about Larry Fine or anything
like that because of my hair
yeah or just because we we did it once
and it turned out well in the past we've
spoken about the three students when is
Larry's y site by the way you looked it
up I don't know we recently I sent you
all of their all of are yard
sides yeah but anyways yeah you look
like Larry
Fine no that's that's quite a high
honor yeah he passed away January 24th
1975 so it's your out side is probably
you know a few months ago it is a few
months ago yeah because I told showed
you somebody sent me an email and said
that they had watched the uh Blood
Brothers the one where we talked about
mooseyard site and then he told me that
there was another one coming up and shot
so that's why we were looking into it
then yeah so shout out to to that person
yeah okay so you gonna get your haircut
uh tomorrow you
think some people have definitely
commented people are yelling at me but I
got like this like um long hair like uh
music uh conductor kind of thing going
now
ducktail no I don't have a duck tail
what like James Dean like a duck tail
no
h i have
locks like a
Shalom I know about aom's
locks King David's son
Absalom he had beautiful locks
yeah that's how he
died his hair got caught in a tree how
he got snapped his
neck oh no that's terrible
yeah all right I don't have I ran out of
interesting things to say I well I'll
tell you one last thing that's been on
my mind is I was thinking about Seasons
because the seasons make me really like
the the the winter makes me really sad
um and I was thinking about um so now
it's spring and I'm feeling really happy
it makes me happy to the like spring and
feeling the change of the season to
spring makes me so happy that I don't
have negative associations with taxes
like that taxes should make me super
stressed out and miserable but yeah um
it like like I'll tell you just in
contrast I was thinking a couple weeks
ago I I hate filling out forms like I
take my kids the doctor's appointments
that make me f out an intake form and it
makes me it causes me I ha it to
and I I thought a couple weeks ago like
a way that I could explain it to
somebody that I realized would probably
be jarring to people it would probably
be surprising but I think it's true
which is if somebody offered me to like
at the doctor's office to endure
physical pain or to fill out the form I
would choose the physical pain like
we'll give you a little cut what degree
of physical
pain well certainly more than zero like
there would be an amount I don't know it
wouldn't be unlimited but there would be
a fair amount of physical pain that I
would be willing to endure for say
certain somebody took a whip like a cat
of Ninetails Whip and had to whip your
back your bare back
once would you do yeah definitely it
would draw blood it would make a welth
and draw blood it would draw blood yeah
and it would sting probably for a couple
of days I would do it you would do it
okay so that's okay now you understand
you're not allowed to yeah no I
understand that haa but nobody's made me
that offer
yeah
okay um so I so I should hate taxes but
because it's so associated with this
with Springtime makes me feel very happy
uh not the taxes don't make me feel
happy spring makes me feel happy but
like it it then I don't really get I
don't I don't think I'm not I don't have
dread thinking about tax season the
season
because the season makes me feel good
and what I was thinking was um it's
strange to me
that like the the the par Torah
portions we've got like all all the fun
stuff in braus in the fall um and then
like beginning of's fun story stuff and
then second half of schmice gets really
super
technical he's super technical
we've got one good story and it's
heartbreaking in the second half of SCH
just the K golden calf it's the most
exciting story in the yeah but um so you
can't really enjoy it right so I was
thinking that that's interesting is and
then and then going into the spring it
gets even more technical even with like
really double down on it with vro vro
you have sacrifices and you have
different YP of leprosy and Purity and
impurity yeah it's very technical so
it's interesting to not like it doesn't
get
expansive you might like I was realiz
thinking about that that like it doesn't
M seem like to me like it matches up
with the seasons no but that's exactly
the point when do you need some fun is
in the fall or in the winter you need
some great stories in the spring like
you said you don't even mind taxes cuz
the weather's great right so you don't
mind learning about
Tas maybe you answer and it B midbar I
often feel like matches up with the
season in a different way is because
like it you're you're you're in the
summer and it's starting to get a little
bit kind of uh a little like it's not
it's a niceness that you're getting used
to and it's starting to get a little bit
over like too much even though it's nice
which is like to me the entire story of
but midbar is bunch of people having
like an amazing experience and being
tired of it
right complaining about yeah 40 years
yeah So eventually I feel match this up
yeah that's profound I really appreciate
that
Insight okay thank you so I I wish you
luck on your on your haircut I'm a
little bit nervous really honestly thank
you very much about getting my haircut
yeah you're like a like a little like a
little
kid no I'm not like a little kid who
thinks it'll hurt when he gets his
haircut I feel like it'll be a drastic
change that because no seriously because
my body has acclimated to the Len this
length of hair if I suddenly get it cut
it really could be a shock to my
system oh wow yeah
well I I am happy to offer you any type
of support you need when you get your
haircut I'm almost thinking we're like
trimming it
gradually okay yeah you can do that
nobody says you can't do
that yeah okay David thank you so much

joining us who's oh I guess the viewers
the viewers

thing joining us like who's us you are

thank you for joining us and that's my
other t-shirt that I want want to make
which is that without you there's no
mourning m o r
ning but it would also have to say
without you right without you you letter
you there's no mour yeah right it's very
ominous a very
ominous I don't it's mean but I'm not
sure exactly how I think you're
threatening to kill somebody oh I just
thought it meant you make us
sad no no oh you make us sad you make us
mourn no I think it's threatening
somebody's going to be
mourned anyways I wouldn't wear such a
shirt I think it would cause people no
that would be mean not just it would be
mean I think it would cause people
distress I think anything
any t-shirt that had the word morning on
it would cause people stress you're
right so we shouldn't do it we shouldn't
even joke about it
no so how about this what if a sh says
there's no you there's no you in morning
but it's without a you top of the
morning to you well then that one would
have a you in it top of the morning
