Pierre pinchi Pierre pinchi Pierre pinchi like a p pinchi mom or something like Tom you know your friend took us you know about him I do know how do you know about him wow I do my research too what would you say it was the first time that people ask you to sing your own stuff you know it's actually there's a a funny story to that I'm being asked to sing Somewhere a small party not for hire so uh some guy comes up to me and says no sing Karama sing Karama like I got this I know Karama Minor Detail I did released the song Karama a few months earlier but I didn't think anyone heard it that's what you saying that's what I saying I thought this is what the guy wanted to hear arguably the [Music] best [Applause] and the guy comes the whole time he's busy going like I'm like what this is the best song ever and then uh he reminded he reminded me that by the way you know you wrote a song called that uh that's the song we wanted to hear okay you got to fill me in on something so said not the one you saying yours which obviously became Mish I remember it being the biggest thing when we were in yiva it blew up obviously and it's a beautiful song and it's heart-wrenching it's m deep at what point would you say that it it had that moment where like suddenly it just became the biggest thing when did that happen sure yeah there's a good story for that uh Heritage Foundation which was also myy born and Brad Mr Michael Rothchild called me to uh brothera see if I can helped record something for their Tish event like a while they were rolling the credits they wanted a a hearta song I said you know I have this song called barama Let me just uh remove the music and this was a few months after we officially released it and it didn't really go anywhere oh really it was released already it was released already and uh that from like one minute to the next all foundations phone calls they were getting was like what's that song from whose song is that where can we hear it where can we get it and it slowly made it and I think the reason that it made it was because Foundation even if the song was terrible no one can ever say anything you know what I'm saying it's like oh did you hear that that that song on on the whole of yeah it was like the first time I sang at the foundation weekend the shabas the food was amazing very you know what I'm saying the speakers were amazing wow that was the uh that was the that's why you decided to do it and from that it became the biggest thing it blew up from there m it's been fun a little bit we should do this more often yeah I think so it's been fun it's been haly for I bre Tommy what was the first song first song you ever sang Live performed live yeah I I can actually I can actually uh pinpoint this to the exact song so uh the first song I sang Live was in Camp I had my Solo in the choir you know a funny story in Camp R I actually auditioned for the choir and didn't get inoo yeah and you know how bad you have to be to not get into a camp choir everyone gets into a camp choir I hope you I hope when they called you for a concert you were like oh really I did yeah yeah um so the first song was this amazing amazing song froma this was [Music] uh here we [Music] go [Music] the [Music] [Applause] right you ready for myo here it was this was it [Music] I I I I think there's a good question you asked me earlier um that uh we were talking about concerts first of all you tell me a little bit what was your earliest concert memory that you that you have the earliest concert memory I would have to say I don't again I can't tell you where it was but I remember sitting there with my family it was Mendy wal Yehuda exclamation mark remember him exclamation point schamy Dax and Sly williger it's like the Dream Team yeah I remember we were rocking 92 that was you know what I'm saying it's bald do you talk what about you you have a concert you remember as a kid that like started you off in the engion I I can pinpoint also exactly which shows you know I I I didn't go to a lot of concerts as a kid but there was one concert I remember going to that I I will never forget and this is the song that they can I guess can I guess go for oh hell oh hell you see the 9s I didn't know that one existed until the the video came out really yeah for sure so it wasn't that one wait this is the concert this is the song This was the song my friend at the concert that you remember I don't think you sing this song yah in my tears I drown but I never let it get me down so when negativity surround I know someday it will all turn around because on my life I've been waiting for i' been for for the people to say that we don't want to fight no more there'll be no more war and our children will one day one day one day one day I've been praying for for the people to say that we don't want to fight no more there'll be no my wall you got to tell me where are we going this this is like hidden destination you're not telling me about like what's I don't know about a hidden like what we're doing today I'm basically revisiting my childhood bike route you know what I'm saying every day I would bike all these routes there was one block I don't know I I I never went down I was always told to just avoid SMY let smly smly drive I want to see what's down the smly drive like I've never actually been it's right here on the left here on so we're about to see something of that you never saw pretty much second that's it it's just like an old building yeah like what oh this isako of Spring Valley now I guess okay it was nothing uh here no here here so that's why my sisters were able to come here okay you know what take me take me home take me home Brother start up simpa if you had to pick one who's your favorite artist obviously Jewish artist of all time it's got to be it's got to be a Ramel no come on ramel's that EV one of that the goat the goat yeah mount rushma see Mount Rushmore gives you four options so you're still good we can't talk about without singing one of those I wouldn't say the classics we did the classics already would you have a frv of ram this is like energy you ready for energy let's get some [Music] energy [Music] nice Cofe much energy in the smell smells better than my coffee W flying so in the end of the day we're doing this for Amud the what do you think about the impact that I mood and had on the world how do you feel about it yeah you know I'm driving around uh my old uh stomping grounds where I grew up seeing the sights of my childhood and uh the one thing I can say that uh amudim in my uh from my perspective changed the most is uh things like Mental Health things are taking you know your the way you feel just as seriously psychologically and mentally not only the way you feel physically was something that uh was completely not addressed completely not acknowledged it was something that was uh it was people were afraid to speak about it completely nobody want not something that was ever discussed ever brought to the Forefront and uh I can I can confidently say that amudam made that something that is you know besides all of the it's 2:00 in the morning someone's in trouble you call amudam we all know about that for years and that's unbelievable work that amudam does but at the end of the day when it comes time for someone to acknowledge that they need help that they they want to work on their uh relationships their you know their their psychological issues that they're dealing with these are things that are now addressed on a day-to-day basis because Amud [Music] made [Applause] [Music] oh
