Magician/Mentalist Shlomo Levinger Visits JM in the AM

JM and the AM. Well, Mayor Ferdig is here with me in studio and our good friend Douggee, who you all know is supposed to stop by as well. We we are already dazzled by the uh incredible talents of Schlommo Leger who's in our studio. A Kanuka gift to us and to our audience. It's Schlommo Leger, the renowned mentalist magician. We were actually debating because I saw in one of your social media the only thing you said was magician. You didn't hashtag mentalist. I was wondering if that was on purpose, not on purpose. uh a pleasure to welcome you to JM in the AM. >> First of all, it's a pleasure to be here. I I remember listening to this show uh in my car going to school when I was in I don't know, first, second grade. So, >> wow. >> Uh this is like uh I could never have imagined actually coming on here. >> With all the places you've been and all the media that's covered you finally your dream has come true. >> Uh yeah, it's just downhill from here, you know. It's just uh we pee and uh and you're so young. What a shame. You've spent time with Aaron Judge and other sports heroes. Show Otani, one of the most famous sports figures in the world. >> Yeah. >> You've spent time with some of the most incredible golfers in the world. I'm just doing the ones I know about. I don't remember everything. >> Absolutely. >> And and and some entertainers as well, right? People in the world of I don't know, Hollywood/Music, etc. A lot of people. And yet, you will be the first to admit that your career highlight is showing up and being part of a JM broadcast. >> Yeah. Nothing like waking up at 6:00 a.m., you know, driving an hour and a half from far away to beer. So, >> and what's funny and what's funny is we've discussed doing this for so long, and I said to myself, as you get more and more popular, more and more famous, our chances of getting you in will diminish. And just the opposite, you were like, "Hey, let's do this thing." >> Of course. Of course. No, for real though, it is it is it is a pleasure to be here and uh um yeah, I'm excited to see what happens. >> Can I put you on the spot right away? Cuz I I don't I really don't know as most people have no idea how you do what you do. So, can I put you on the spot right away? >> Yeah, go ahead. This morning we start the show as you know with Moda Ani for 43 years every single morning. Okay. >> I played a song with a certain title that I'm willing to look at on my playlist for you if that helps. We played a song right after Moda Ani. I'll give you a hint. It was a Hanukkah selection. Okay. >> The question is if I would concentrate on it right now, would that be putting you on the spot or is there a chance you'd actually be able to guess what it is? >> No, I can try to guess what it is 100%. >> So, what do I do? Literally just look at it like you want to we have other people in the studio here. I don't know. Did you mention Mayor Ferdick? >> Mayor's here. Okay. So, mayor, mayor, before you you video this, I actually want you to help me with this. Okay. >> Just let him know when to start the video. >> So, you know what? >> Yeah. >> Malcolm, you're going to do this. >> Take out your phone and I want you to start the video. That way, >> that way we have it all on video. But, mayor, you maybe maybe before >> Don't you love free form? >> Maybe maybe it's his show, so maybe like he wants to go well. He'll set it up. Even if I'm wrong, he'll say, "Oh, he's right." So, you could care less. So, this is I want I I want you to do me a favor. Uh end your video. End your video. And I want you to um No, no. Open keep your phone out. Yeah. >> Uh and I'm going to try something a little bit interesting here. Now, when it comes to information, um a lot of it a lot of it is about visualization and me being able to get the information based on uh doing some techniques that you won't pick up on that. That's kind of the goal here. So, I want you to open up uh imagine right now. Imagine, okay? And you're not going to you're not going to do this for real, but imagine uh do you know what the song is, by the way? the song that for the playlist song. >> Yeah, he doesn't know the playlist. No, I do not. Okay. Can Can he look over and see what it is? Is it >> It would be easier if I would write it down for him, but >> Write it down for him. Don't Don't let me see it. Hang on a second. I'll give you I'll hold your phone. I'll give you Thank you. Get Get this guy on film while I >> I'll give you the uh Here you >> We'll treat this as a security camera briefly. Surveillance. >> Surveillance. There you go. And And show him. Don't let me see it. All right. And And when you're done with that, just uh just ball it up. Can Can you read this, Mayor? Just tell me if you could read this, sir. >> That's the name of the song. >> I knew you should have been a doctor. >> Am I right? >> Mayor has it. I now tissue. Get out of the tissue. We don't We don't want the tissue. Okay. What do we do now? >> All right. So, here's what you're going to do. I want you to imagine imagine you're you're sending a text to uh you're saying, "Knock him a text." Okay. But you're not actually going to send them a text. You're just going to open up a blank text there in front of you. Okay. >> Okay. WhatsApp acceptable. >> Um let's go iMessage on this. Let's go let's go real Yeah. good oldfashioned iMessage. Okay. Uh, and open up a blank blank text like not even to him. Just a just just Yeah. Just a blank one that with nobody. No. No recipient. >> No recipient. And here's what I want you to do. I want you to I want you to just you're going to go, "Hey, let's play this." And you're going to write, "Hey, let's play this song." And you're going to write the name of the song. You're go, "Hey, let's play." And >> you remember the name, right? >> Whatever. Whatever the name is. Don't show me, obviously. And for those people listening, he's doing this on his phone in front of him. I'm sitting across the table. I can't. >> We're on the up and up, Mr. Levenger, >> this is on social media so everyone can see what's happening. >> I'll be up and up. All right. >> And you got it. Yeah. Perfect. Okay. I want you to stare at that for like 3 seconds. >> Just stare at the name. Oh, he's typing more. Look at this. I >> I didn't actually type the name of the song. I >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. There we go. >> And now stare at the name of the song for like 3 seconds. Ready? Three, >> two, one. Are you looking at the name right now? Do me a favor. Just this. Ready? Just click your phone. Locked. >> Beautiful. Is it locked? >> Yes, >> it's locked. So now if I saw your screen, I would see absolutely nothing. Beautiful. 8:29. That's all I can see. I see your lock screen. Look at me. >> Beautiful. Just do the alphabet out loud real quick. Go ahead. >> A B C D E F G >> Peak Radio right here. >> Peak radio. Yeah. >> This is a ratings grammar. >> L M N It'll be better if I forgot one. Faster. Faster. >> O P Q R S T U V W X YZ. >> Okay, perfect. Now, I was just listening for certain certain things. You did you did you made it a little easy for me because you pronounced each letter very nicely. So I was able to pick up on certain things. Uh >> oh. If you did it faster, it would be harder for you. >> It might be. So here's what I want you to do. If I open if I looked at your phone right now, I'd see the text. Yes. So >> only if I open it. >> Yeah. Open it up and delete the text. Like backspace all the letters and then in its place, I want you to put just like random letters and numbers. Okay? So in its place, just put random letters and numbers and then show me those random letters and numbers. >> Show me those random. So right now, so you're showing me this. Now, here's the thing. Uh be honest. And for the people watching at home, uh there's a D and there's a couple letters, a couple numbers. There's a money sign. >> Mhm. >> Not sure why I did that, but all right. Maybe you're telling me maybe he's trying to tell me something. >> It was completely random. >> Completely random as he says. Uh completely random. >> And uh you can see it here. Yeah, you can see it. Good. Ducky just walked in. How you doing, Ducky? Good to see you. There you go. Uh but this doesn't tell me anything. And that's your phone. I don't want to. I'm going to leave it there. Um >> you're thinking of the song. You're thinking of the song again. No way in the world I can know what this song is. But because you visualized it when you typed it out and you deleted that text and you counted out loud, you said you said all the alphabet. >> Uh >> I think I might have something. >> I'm going to write it down. Okay. Be honest. There's no way in the world I should be able to get. >> That is correct. Unless you were listening to JM at 6:05 this morning. >> Uh >> but we assume you were not. >> I was Was I in bed? I was I was >> You were rolling over just waking up. >> That was the weak spot. That's correct. Uh, I'm going to go. >> Well, he didn't know this walking in. >> You know what? Name name a letter in the alphabet just out loud, Douggee. >> C. >> C. Uh, is there is it in this? Were you listening at 605? >> No. >> No. Uh, see, I'm not even doing this. He's doing this. >> Take that mic, Doug. It's sitting next to you. >> I'm not even doing this. Doug is doing this. He says the letter C. Is there is there in this song? I'm I'm going to say that he's correct. Is there a prominent letter C in this song? There is. Yeah. You're doing I'm not even doing this. You're doing this. So, I'm going to go C. I'm going to write a C there. Uh, and then give me another letter. Z. You know what? I'm gonna do this on my own now. Uh, >> if he would have said Q, he'd be out of here. >> I'm gonna go here. I have a song. Uh, you did give me a hint. You did say it's Kanuka related. So, I'm going to go with this. That's a real song. On the count of three. Uh, >> if he gets this verdict, if he gets this, >> says this. You ready? One, two. Both of you guys together are going to say hello. Ready? One, two, three. What's the song? >> How many candles? >> Oh my. Exactly. Bang on. For those of you just listening, it says on my clipboard, "How many candles?" >> Okay, this will take me a minute to recover from. >> Wow. >> Yeah. >> Can I tell you the secret? >> Yes. >> You're You're holding the secret. Just >> suggested that breathing in the fumes of a Sharpie is what made him do it, but no, that's not the case. >> As opposed to sniffing glue. >> I mean, I have that in my case, too, if you need it. When did you discover you had this talent? Like are you 7 years old? Are you 17 years old? >> So I would say it's less of a it was less of a discovery. It was more of just like a I think this is just true for anybody. I think magic and minding and you asked me earlier like magician or mental. So I I think I'll be honest. I I I think that um there's a huge crossover between the two. Um there are magicians that also perform mentalism. There are mentalists that strictly perform mentalism. So you have kind of like there's there's the two groups. There's like the mentalist who's like usually like you think of like this like you know very >> Mark Salem in our day it was winning Mark >> Mark Salem. So like he he's just really like one of the uh if you if you go and you read and you go online and you look like do like a like a deep dive you go into the mentalism rabbit hole. Uh Mark Salem really did put a nice little dent into the mentalism world. >> He was the first mentalist to ever show up to jam in the am. >> There you go. And that's pretty that's pretty cool because I'll be honest like I I've you know I was there are magicians and mentalists learn this stuff um by learning from people in the previous generations and he definitely has material out there. Um >> can I tell you what his final trick was? >> Yeah, go ahead. >> He said um and remember it's radio. There's no social media. There's no video. It's all you know there's no anything. >> Definitely different world. >> Correct. A much different world. >> Much different world. >> And he says I will think of one of the five books of Kish. I will think of one of the five and you will guess it and I bet you everybody in the audience who contacts you nobody will say to you they were thinking of a different book and sure enough I guess schmos he had written down on the papermos and the audience had to trust me that he actually wrote it down and every person who contacted no one contacted me to say I was thinking of a different one they all who contacted me that day said I was thinking you remember that >> I don't but but as you were saying it I came up with vira in my head >> that's funny >> so I remember this like it was yesterday it was 35 years ago I remember like it was and and nobody's What do you mean crazy? Meaning, but you would that's >> But you're saying it's you would agree it's doable, right? >> That's very impressive. And I I think he he definitely paved the way for a lot of the, you know, current mentalists. Um >> and then in the world of magic, we had people like Ben Cohen on the air and many Avi Frier, you know, I don't know if Abby would I don't know if Abby would allow himself to admitted into that, you know, tier one of magicians. >> I think they just did like a um a magician Israel. Magicians for Israel, right? Correct. before they're doing great work. >> There's um there's a there's actually I'll give them a little shout out. There's a there's like a WhatsApp like a group WhatsApp chat from all like the from magicians. >> Oh, really? >> From magician. >> How many people would be there? >> I'll tell you right now. There's uh let me see here. >> Is it 20 or 70? >> Should we guess? >> You can go. You can try. >> Who's got a Sharpie >> here? Let's see if we uh if I could pull this up here. >> I'll say this 91. In honor of 91.1. >> Let's all guess here. I'm going to >> 91. 91. >> You're going to go 91. Okay. What do you What do you >> Are we doing this? Are we doing this like um are we doing this like um Price is right style? Like can you go >> No, you could be close without over under whatever. >> What do you got? >> He said 91. I'll say 35. >> 35. What do you What >> 55? >> 55. >> Doc's closest. >> There's 109 members. >> Wow. Wow. >> In this from now, >> these are all performing. So, okay. So, this is >> it's going to go to their head. They're going to have a union by December. >> Particularly anybody who has an interest in magic. It could be a hobbyist. It could be a professional. There's there's people on here. Uh like I'll give you a fryer is on here. Uh Ben Con's on here. Um >> let me see who else. >> There's many on there cuz he does mostly Israel. >> Um I don't think he's on here. No, he's not on here. >> So there are people in that group who is like, "Wow, we're on there. Leav's not on there, is he?" >> Leaving a few times and I'm like, "I can't do it to the >> Le's not on there, is he?" >> Uh no. This is kind of just like the American like I'm trying to think of who else he would >> got to be on there. >> He's not the nerve of him. >> I don't I don't know if he's like a big WhatsApp guy. I'm not sure if that's the thing there. Even like Donnie Winerb's on here like there's there's you know there's >> there's and then there's like a handful of just >> right >> hobbyists. Yeah. >> All right. So one second. >> Yeah. It was started by a guy named Avi Hoffman. I don't know if you know Aby. >> Of course I remember Aby. >> You know Avi. Okay. I think he >> I mean Amy's on there. I'm sure >> Dovy and all these Oh, Doy's a comedian, >> right? But there's a there's um there's a uh I think he's a I think he's assistant rabbi in West Orange or something. >> That could be. >> Yeah. So he started this this group. Yeah. >> Schlama Leer is here. JM the AM. Happy Kaneka everybody. What a gift. Now when you perform later today cuz you'll be at a school later today. >> Yeah. I'm going to be at Jay-Z. Yes. >> What percentage mentalist uh act and what percentage magic? >> So um you know what's funny? My my show used to be a lot more magic and then over the years it kind of progressed into this like mentalism uh type place and that's that's because of just you got to do what the people want. I I think that's important. I I think people too get f people get too focused on like oh it's my material. It's my material. Well, you know, you're you're you're servicing the people. So, at the end of the day, you have to do what people want to see. And just from experience doing this every single day, I find the mind readading stuff people react to the best. So, um my show's really kind of progressed into into that tier. But I will say I I I kind of the point that I was trying to make before is that a lot of the like you know your stereotypical mentalist is like very serious like very like >> even Salem was like that energy um I don't know my my my show and the vibe of that I try to give off is a much more like fun like light vibe like there's a lot >> that's a trend today right? >> Yeah. There's a lot of jokes. It's it's it's kind of >> even walking up to people on the street. Nobody would have done that 20 years ago. >> Oh 100%. I mean David Blaine like set set the paved the way for that. That that's uh >> Are you a Pen and Teller fan? >> Uh yeah. Yeah. Okay. >> Can you and just based on your experience to this point, could you now if we were sitting in sch smoozing over a cup of coffee? Could you explain any trick that I present to you? Like if I say to you that a trick that Pen and Teller did years ago drives me nuts till today how they did it, would you be able to guide me into knowing how they did it? >> Um probably not. It dep Well Well, it depends. It depends cuz their stuff is so unique in a sense of like in a sense of like they they pride themselves on on not even just performing but like really like doing like the most creative unique things. So >> baffle you as much as possible. >> Even magicians like they're they they try to they'll try to fool magicians like 100%. And like even to the point where like they have the show where like vice versa like magicians will go on and try to fool them. So it's like they really do know everything and it's like >> it's it's very impressive. Like their stuff is so unique. Like you could say the what was the what was the uh >> Super Bowl. I forget what year. Hey Douggee. Super Bowl. >> Super Bowl. I forget I forget what year. They go to Times Square. They put the result of the Super Bowl in a in an envelope in a bottle in a Finally, they put it in a massive pickle jar, right? I'm not talking about one of these New York City guys from New York City. They put it up on a rope. They they they hoist it up to some rafter, you know, in Time Square that they had built, etc., etc. After the game ends, the network goes to Pen and Teller in Times Square. They have a random person, and I do believe it was a random person, take a hammer, smash the pickle jar. That person picks up the whatever and undoes this and undoes that, undoes that, and the results of the game are in. >> Wow. That's Yeah. So, that's that's uh You want my honest opinion? I think that's one of the most powerful things that you can do because you can't predict the future. Like, that's that's impossible. If you could, you'd be be a billionaire. >> Yes. >> Cuz the first question everyone's asking in their car right now is, you know, does Leger know lottery number? >> Imagine it. Correct. And imagine they did this uh imagine they did this in the age of nowadays with gambling and all that, right? >> Can you imagine like people would people would there would be >> it's like Back to the Future. You're walking around with the baseball woman act of 2000. >> There would be death threats. They would have death threats. It's crazy. So it's like, you know, it's uh it's definitely it's one of the most powerful things you can do. And I'll give a quick shout out. There's there's um I mean he's he's super famous now, but um Oz the mentalist. He's he's all over the place now performing for, you know, every professional sports team he's ever consider >> him a colleague. >> He's on every uh Yeah, we know each other. Um we we we talk from time to time. I've he he has given me some good advice when it comes to the sports stuff like um >> so he gets the MVPs and you get the rookies of the year. Like how does it work? >> It's just it's just it's just uh it's just every man for himself kind of. Um I will say he does have No, he does have he does have like incredible connections and um >> can he do stuff you can't do or you wouldn't go that far to say? I I I I'll say he's he is better. I think I mean in a like he's been doing this for so much longer. I remember when I started he was he was the guy doing demos uh on there's a company called Penguin Magic. They they're like one of the biggest magic retailers in the world. Um they uh he was doing their demos like their demo videos for like their card tricks. Like I remember him like from from 15 years ago. So um he's definitely the right person to have gotten famous. Like I I think that sometimes people get famous and like they don't I don't want to say they don't deserve it, but they don't deserve it necessarily. You're happy for him. He He worked for it. He's good personality and he worked for it. >> He's put in the work and he's definitely one of the best in in his craft. So >> Schlumer is here. I got to get to this because before because we may go over time, but before we lose the core audience, I I must ask you the questions that they want me to ask you. >> Yes. >> Anybody because you are obviously a from Jew, an Orthodox Jew, anybody of uh any religious leadership ever question or discourage you from embarking on these types of activities? Um, not really >> interesting. >> Not really. I know >> cuz there's like a whole chapter in Jewish law about this whole thing. I >> know that's not the fun answer, but >> right. >> So, what's going on? The rabbis are really with 2025. Like they they know it's all a game. >> I I I don't know. Like I It's funny. I I've I've always, you know, people always bring up this conversation, you know, especially when it comes to magic, mentalism, mind reading, and like all this stuff. Um, and I I know, you know, I know which rabban like which rabbis like I know which one, you know, I know who kind of doesn't love it and you know, but for me, I think that it's important that like and especially like there's first of all, there's so many different types of Judaism like you know, you can there's there's such a wide spectrum. >> Circles will think differently. >> Yeah. And I think it's very I think this is a super important thing is that everybody uh there's no I don't think there's any there's no wrong way. So I think that everyone has like the way that that they grow up, their yeshivas, their people that they that they confide in. Um, and for me growing up, the yeshivas that I went to, I never I've never had one. >> Could it be that they just realized that that most people are sophisticated enough the these days to know that it's just a routine and not god forbid witchcraft? >> I think so. I think so. And also like I think that it's just like especially the way that the way that I'm going about it is in a fun way. I don't I don't think like you know I'm not not I'm not telling people that like I could really like tell the future or I can really read your minds. >> So if I go down and get a a stick, you won't be able to turn it into a snake. >> I don't think so. >> And and what about the the first time that you you made a decision and then the first time that you actually did go to an out of sorts venue with a yamaka? Like where was it in a baseball locker room? Like where was that time you said, "Oh my gosh, it's the first time I'm doing it. I wonder what the reception will be." >> Yeah. I mean that's Yeah. Where was it? >> I I would I would say with the Dodgers. That was like the most highprofile. >> Um >> Did anybody say a word? >> Not a word. >> And the most pleasant person in all seriousness, even though we're Dodger haters here, the most pleasant person that day was who? Like who stands out to you? >> So there's two people that stand out to me. Uh obviously number one, uh Dave Roberts who's the manager. Will >> super nice. He he really like >> Boys Yankee fans can't stand him for a variety of reason. >> I mean, and I I will say I will say I am a big Yankee fan. I grew up a big >> Well, he had the key stolen base in the year that they came back. >> We can get into the Yankees in a few minutes because I did I did do that as well. But, uh, the Dodgers um, yeah, Dave Roberts, he welcomed us in. I was with my brother Dave who you met at a wedding recently and that's kind of what um, >> and I have the pleasure of working with my brother and I'm wondering if because you and your brother are now working so closely together, it's brought you closer together. >> Yeah, I think so. I think so. Yeah, we definitely have a close relationship. Um, you know, we he uh, actually, this is a funny story. So, he he runs and I'll get back into the Dodger stuff in a second. He runs a uh he owns a videography business. Um like he's really successfully, thank God. He's super busy. He does weddings. He does concerts. He does a lot of sports content. Um and he started all of this because I forced him to hold I I bought I bought a Nikon DSR DSLR camera because I wanted to go out and film street magic and he was the only available option. I didn't want to spend any money so I didn't have any money. So I put this camera I gave him this camera. I said, "Hold this." And we went out onto the street and filmed street magic. And because of that, he actually got into it. And he that's his profession today. >> And if he wasn't and if he wasn't out of town today, he'd probably be here. >> Oh, absolutely. He's in Israel right now. But like he would he would he would be here. We'd be filming some content. And uh yeah, he he >> So can we reserve him for next time, please? >> Absolutely. 100%. >> Our next kotica present to everybody. The second Dodger would be >> Yeah. And and and show I I think he this >> with all the language barrier and all that. It's so crazy like like he he came over after the show. So I did about a 354 minute set for the team in the locker room and and >> this is where the actual locker room >> at spring training. So this is the actual locker room >> in Arizona uh as their spring training facility. Uh it's called Camelback Ranch. Um they split with I think they share it with the White Socks I believe. But we were in the Dodger locker room uh and show after the show um he he So here's the thing. when you go into locker rooms and this is very very important. You can never pick on you can't cuz I'm having people help out with the show, right? So I can't pick on the best players cuz then obviously, you know, everyone's going to be like, "Oh, he's just, you know, it's he's doing it for his own personal, you know, social media or whatever." Yeah. Yeah. They call it clip farming. Yeah. He's clip farming. Uh but uh but no, so you have to really be authentic. You have to perform for the people. You have to the social media has to kind of come second. Um, and uh, yeah, so whatever the opportunity is. So, I try my my the way that I do it is I'll ask the team or I'll ask the players during the show. I'll say, "Who do you guys want to see up here?" And then that >> and they'll throw the rookie up there. >> Either they'll throw the rookie up there or there's someone who's like a great locker room personality that might be some vet or like, you know, someone or sometimes it is one of the better players. Um, and they'll have them come up and we'll do some stuff. But, um, after the show, so Shi comes up, he actually comes I I'm still standing there. know what it is. Best player in baseball. >> We got to explain this to Mayor Fer. >> Yeah. It's like imagine imagine >> the Babe Ruth of today. >> Imagine Babe Ruth. >> Yeah. >> Uh but like in peak physical shape like >> right >> the guy he pitches before all the drinking >> the standard of the way. >> Literally like if you would if you would go to a lab and say >> right make me the perfect >> make the perfect baseball player. This is the guy. That's Yeah. It's he he's he's that good. And anyway, so uh after the show, he comes over and I didn't I didn't ask him to come over. He just he came up to me. >> Japanese his first language. >> Yeah. Japanese first language. Comes up to me and was just like so in shock. He's like, I don't understand. Like how how do you do this? And >> just in English. >> Yeah. So like his English was like like broken English, but like able to understand. Obviously, he understood the stuff we were doing in the show. Uh and he uh and he was just like, I don't understand. I'm like, can you explain like and I'm like, you know what? And I took that opportunity to uh I'm like, you know what, let me show you something. And I I did this one trick that I that's like a go-to for me. And I I I had it in my pocket ready to go. Uh and it's basically a card trick where I pull out a deck of cards. I let him hold on to it and I say, "Name any card." And he names any card. Uh and then I have I spread through the deck and I have four faces facing up and then I turn them over and they It says they're from a red deck and it says on the back the name of the card that he was thinking of. So it says he thought of the seven of diamonds. So it says the seven of diamonds. Um and those are the only cards that I wrote on. Those are the only cards that are red. Those are the only cards face up. >> Um and he had such a good reaction. He he actually freaked out. Um not to freak out about >> and obviously my brother's there and he's on and it's all this is all on camera. Uh and we were like, "Oh, this is gold." So then we we we got home, we edited it up, we put it online uh within within minutes cuz anything this guy does is viral. So, um, it had nothing to do with me, but but, uh, uh, but within minutes, within minutes, like this video was doing crazy views. Like I I was getting text DMs from ESPN, uh, from from Bleacher Report, Sports Center, uh, like the biggest all the sports outlets, they were all setting, they were all like uh, messaging me on Twitter and on Instagram and saying, "Hey, can we post this video and we'll just tag you? We have the right to post it, whatever." Um, and for me, I was like, "Absolutely." like this is worse, you know. Um, and yeah, they the video did uh I think combined between all the social media platforms cuz MLB MLB like MLB posted on their YouTube like on their uh YouTube shorts and they put it up there. Um, between that my video, ESPN, whoever else posted it, Instagram, Tik Tok, all that. Uh, it did I think over 10 million views, which is which is crazy. And the YouTube video itself, which is 35 minutes long or 30 minutes long, has a half a million views, which is like I looked at the analytics like people are watching it all the way through. It's crazy. >> And then YouTube sends you 11 cents. >> Yeah, it's uh I have like there's like I it's Yeah, the revenue YouTube is crazy. >> Schlum 11 is here. So the the this whole issue, everyone thinks it's a big issue. It's a dead issue. You walk into anywhere, the Yamaka has been irrelevant. Um, yeah. I think it actually adds a little element of like like I think lower expectation maybe sometimes like people are like, >> "Oh, this guy's, you know, schol scarly dude ain't going to trick us." >> Yeah. Just like a Jewish kid like I don't know like they don't expect it. I think that's that's also important. It's unexpected. It's like >> it's like I don't know. First of all, I would say um I was actually just talking about this uh this week. Um I had the opportunity uh the New York City Council um >> Oh, I saw somebody's video. >> Yeah. They give out awards. Uh they give out >> They honored you. >> Yeah. So, I'm not sure why, but uh they they uh No, >> I think they honored me also once. What's up with you? >> There you go. They do uh probably it was probably like in a similar sense like they they like to um give someone who's making I guess some sort of an impact like you know from an entertainment standpoint. I think they like that that that uh that part of it. So, um >> you know who was also honored when I was honored that night? Fiveishfinkle. Remember the old actor fiveishfinkle. Anyway, go ahead. Yeah. So, so yeah, we go. So, I So, I'm there and um I had to write a little speech. So, I talked about how I talked about how um you know, I think most of these guys, like most of these athletes, like they don't they don't um >> they don't see like they don't see Jews like like unless you're like from like a major city like if you're from New York, you're from Miami, you're from LA, like you know, you'll see Jews around and you know it's just common place. But like >> you're the first Yamaga show I ever saw >> anywhere in Japan, middle of America, you know, any of these like South America, you know, South American countries, >> the DR people, they don't know. >> Exactly. Any of the Cubans, like any of these, like they've they don't see Jews ever, especially with the Yamaka, maybe like, you know, maybe someone that works in the building, whatever, who's Jewish, but like they don't even know that they're Jewish. Owner. >> Yeah. The owner. There you go. And let alone >> let alone a Yamaka. It's not something they've ever seen before. So, uh, you know, they're probably intrigued, I think. Um, I think that especially like in a professional setting, um, you know, out out in public, um, I think there's a lot less, uh, I don't know what the word is, but maybe hate or a lot less just a lot less uh, a lot less like anti-semitism or anything negative than you would think, >> right? Negative feelings toward >> than you would think because, you know, based on social media or based on what the news says >> when you start performing in Syria, we'll see if that holds up. >> Yeah. Correct. Correct. And I will say I am in a professional setting. I am generally in a professional setting where where you know >> Yeah. >> if something is said or whatever. I I don't I don't think any of these athletes are risking their I don't think anything would happen. >> But some and this is this is not on this topic but you mentioned professional settings. The the stuff you do on the street is amazing. >> It's not a professional setting. >> It's not a professional setting. And I wonder if you >> a lot more risk there for sure. >> Correct. Then I wonder if you take note of the difference in reaction at a Chevro than when you're on 98th Street in Broadway with three inner city kids who are skeptical. Who the heck is this guy walking up to us? >> You know what? Uh definitely different different style of reaction. I'll say um I think everyone's amazed. >> Boy, is he being politically correct? >> No, no, not at all. Not at all. And I think I'm I'm I'm not being politically correct. >> I meant on the sher side you're being politically correct. I'm just I'm just uh I'm just I'm just saying I'm just uh pumping myself up here cuz I'm saying that you know I think even at a chevron ruckus like you know you'd expect to be a little bit of a tame crowd but um but I think my you know the this what I bring to the table from a from a from an entertainment standpoint like people really like it it it is fun and there's a lot of laughter there's a lot of there's a lot of good reactions and it it does it like there it's it's a fun high energy vibe and I think like you know obviously obviously if I'm going on the street and you and I'm, you know, I'm going over some random person and then I read their mind and they literally freak out and run away. Uh, that's always those are the best reactions. >> And the skill of reading the mind. >> Yeah. >> I mean, if I have a random thought right now, if I'm if I'm planning my next trip to Israel, can you tell me that or we'd have to really set up or you're concentrating and you're telling me >> there is there is a method to it. There is a method to >> a random you can't walk into a room and say, "Wow, that that that person, you know, just thought this about me." >> Correct. There's a process to it. there's a process to the method and to the, you know, to the madness, I guess you could say. Um, but like here, like imagine, so, so, so again, like you've been doing this for 43 years, right? Um, >> you, you know, there's, you come across, I I dare to say >> thousand, like hundreds of thousands of songs, correct? >> And thousands and thousands of artists. And I think especially nowadays, >> um, Douggey, say something. Say something to the people. >> Just taking it all in. >> Just taking it all in. Yeah, I know. We go way back. Absolutely. Probably almost to your early very early stages. >> I I go way back to uh to the wings. That's where I go way back to. I go way back to those wings. Uh on >> You agree with me. Wings better than poppers. >> OH, FINALLY. I HAVE AN ADVOCATE HERE. >> I MEAN, LISTEN, the poppers are great, and you can't go wrong with a good Douggee Poppers, but like Douggee wings just blow everything out of >> Thank you. Thank you, folks. Thank you haters out there arguing with me for years. It's like it's like not even like um it's like not even like a it's not even like a >> I I in my it's not even a race in my opinion. Like I was you know what I Okay, so this is I'm sure you're aware of this because you're Douggee. Uh but if when I was in camp when I was in camp, we would do >> Oh, those deliveries. >> Oh, so the deliveries. Okay, so these deliveries >> they even went to Msora. That's how far they travel. >> Senior combo deliveries going to camp. Uh, I I I'm love Douggee Wings so much that I would do like I would do like we would go and this is before you could do the double wings. So, this is right >> this is poppers wings. >> They didn't relax the rules yet. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> This is you we go in there and and and most most people they would split a junior combo. So, you split with another group and then uh >> which is also, by the way, an ungodly amount of food, but you're going you're go you're splitting with someone uh and most people would split hat like down the middle this way. You get you get poppers, onion wings. I'm I'm a wings guy, so I would go I would just find someone who was a poppers person and then I would just >> correct. That's the >> I clear out all the wings and they would get all the poppers and that was a that was an even split. And I always found that the that the poppers people I always found that the poppers people for some reason never finish their poppers. So I just would get >> all the wings and the extra >> Very good. could have been it could have been some really good um deal you know magic for wings or wings for magic you know however you want to call it but that was early much earlier on in the career >> yeah yeah this is this is what this is my fuel >> what camp what camp was that >> I was in Heler um I was in Heler I was in um Mugan Leon >> um I was in >> Are you shocked to hear they would deliver all the way to Cam Masura >> it's pretty crazy it is far it is far I've been up there >> that is quite a Did you ever perform in Missouri? >> Uh, I have not. I have not. I have not. Um, but shocking. >> Yeah, it is shocking. I I feel like we've I've conversations come up a few times. Um, where was I? I was in Morish. I was in um a lot of those other a lot of the other far camps. Um, but yeah, and then the close ones too, I I would say. >> What about some bungalow colonies? >> You know what? That's how I started. That's how I started. I've been doing this I I I started as a hobby 15 years ago, and I've been doing this, I would I would say professionally. We'll we'll we'll use that term softly. Um for almost 10 years. So um >> I'm sorry. >> Yeah. No, I I started I literally started uh in Bungle Colonies. That's that like >> the casino on a Saturday night. >> Yeah. I wish I started >> No, the casino of the bungalow colony. I'm saying that room that they all have. The wreck room. The uh Yeah, that little that little >> You got to know the language. >> You know what? And you chat skills. >> You know what? And they don't have a stage. They have benches. All right. stand on benches, right? >> They put the benches together. >> It's such a different world. >> Plywood. We need plywood if you're lucky. >> And what was the green room like? >> You know how many times those benches were like I was like in the middle of a trick and I would like I would have to like balance myself. I'll tell you. >> Oh my goodness. >> Upgrade a bit, folks. Come on. Upgrade a bit. Yeah, >> you're going to have to get ready to film because when he brought right >> when he brought up this topic here 40,000 songs, whatever. >> And you in your mind I I a few minutes ago I just mentioned you've been doing this for 43 years, hundreds of thousands of songs uh literally um thousands and thousands of artists. Uh you really in your mind uh I feel like there was there was there was a song that popped in your head and you've you've been you've been thinking about this and >> and then you made it me write it down. I could tell and and I wanted you to show uh I wanted you to show mayor. So uh it's mayor is is mayor. Okay. Got >> mayor saw it. >> I'm saying I hope I got his first name right. >> Mayor saw the card already. >> Mayor saw it and and you and we hit it and it's it's gone. So I don't want to >> Well, it's in your pile of cards >> which is on the table somewhere. No, it's over there. >> Fair enough. Okay. So I'm going to do this very very uh I'll say uh let's do this. I'm going to try this in a little bit of a backwards way. Okay. So, I'm going to start with the name of the song and then we're going to work on to the artist cuz sometimes if I start with the artist then it goes easier the name of the song. So, we're going to go backwards here. Uh, and again like this you could have thought of any song. Yes, >> that is correct. I could have thought of literally tens tens of thousands of songs. >> Okay. And uh I'm going to take a guess here. First of all, off the bat I'm going to say and this is kind of how I start this. So, I'm going to take a guess just off the bat. um you would not have picked something from the last year or two. And I'll tell you why. Because I told you that you have 43 years of songs to choose from. So automatically, right away when I say 43, your brain goes back. Like that's that's automatic. Yeah. Your brain goes back. You're like, "Oh my gosh, what can I think of from back then that I can think of?" And then your brain does >> turn down to 41 years now. >> Something like that. So let's let's shrink this down even more. Let's shrink this down even more. I would say the couple years before that are probably also irrelevant because it's still the same kind of thing. This is just me guessing here. Don't don't don't tell me yes or no. Uh and I'm going to say that >> I love when you're off the track. >> I think that and you knowing my basic age, so I'm 28 years old, you know, around the age that I'm at. Uh you I feel like you you I the from from your personality and uh which is a great one, but from your from from your personality uh I could tell and by you even challenging me right when I got in here uh that that that you want to make it hard. You're not going to make this easy for me. So I'm going to say that you did kind of go back um >> I'm going to say you went back like like even before like you in your mind this is your thought process. This is not thought process. Ready? And this is not you didn't write any of this down. You didn't even tell me your >> I wrote the song then >> but not but not any of this part because the thought process and tell me if I'm right about this. You ready? >> Your thought process >> was I'm going to choose something from an era that he probably doesn't even know. >> I don't know if I was consciously saying it, but certainly subconsciously >> correct. Am I correct about this? Okay. >> So now now we're really in a we're in we're in a little we're in a little >> we're down to 5,000 songs now. >> We're in a challenge here. We're in a little challenge here because >> because you wouldn't even know the song, right? >> If I don't even know the song, how am I going to get the information? So, now here's where we get the information. >> I want you to do me a favor real quick. Kind of like we did before. Just run through the alphabet really fast. Go. >> ABCD E F G H L E R S U UV W XYZ. >> See, can you do just A through L just quick? >> A B C D F G H V. >> Okay. One letter did stand out to me there. It was a little bit clear if you watch. >> Can I just ask Mayor or Douggee if they heard a letter stand out >> during They're not going to hear what I'm listening for. Th this uh if you watch it back now that I say it. When you watch it back, you'll see you'll see that I'm correct about this. >> I have a letter. Okay, this is I'm going to show I'm going to show Douggee here. This is this is a letter. This is the letter that I that I'm that I thought was pretty clear and we can watch that back in the video. Okay, so that's number one. I have a letter. I'm not showing this to you guys yet. I'm just going to show it to doggy. Uh, and then I'm going to go based on that, I'm going to put this letter here cuz probably that letter exists as well. And then uh here and then here and then here. And I'm going to go the artist. I'm going to I'm going to just Do you know around what year this >> Yes. >> You know the year? Okay. Is this this is this is maybe I don't know exact here but before 2000. Yes. >> Should I answer this question? >> You can tell me. >> The answer is yes. >> Yes. I'm going to say this is maybe early 90s late 80s. I'm going to go here. I'm going to go maybe even late. I'm going to go here. I don't know if I'm 100%. This sounds like it would be a real thing. I feel like I feel like that. Is this something you've heard of before? >> No. >> No. Okay. So, Douggee Douggee only knows uh the Beatles and >> and Wings. >> And Paul McCartney and Wings. >> Very good. Very much there. Mayor, >> can you do me a favor? Can you put your hands out flat in front of you? I'm going to put the clipboard there. I'm not going to show you what it is just yet. And again, like it's you're you wrote it down, but it's it's somewhere in there. We can find it. And by the way, the reason I have you do this is that cuz uh and I trust you, but even for the just the the viewer viewers, uh at the end we can show that they do match 100%. >> Well, that's what we expected. >> But who's going to reveal that card? I mean, >> here we go. You're going to reveal it out loud to everyone listening right now. >> Uh and this is the one that you've been thinking about this entire time. Ready? Three, two, one. What was the song? >> The song is called The Hand of Hashem. Yeah. >> The artist is Judea. >> Interesting. Would it be crazy if I wrote the song and then the artist? Because I had you think of the song and then the artist. Correct. >> Would it be crazy? It would be insane. Not crazy. It would be impossible to believe. >> Yes. >> Well, today might not be that day. No, I'm just kidding. Turn that over. >> Oh my. >> Judea by uh hands of Hashem. That's exactly. >> Now, let's see the card. >> Oh yeah, you can go find it in there. I don't even want to touch it anymore. Still, it's somewhere in there. Well, I wrote it so I can tell you what it says on it. >> Bam. That's a perfect match. >> Wow. >> Leaving. Amazing. >> We got it, people. There you go. >> You said you'd bring us a Hanukkah present. That was quite a gift. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Quite a gift of entertainment. >> Give me a round of applause. >> Unbelievable. >> I got one applaud by Douggee there. >> Well, that's the whole crowd. What can I tell you? >> Considering that was a sellout crowd, that's pretty good. It >> is a sellout. Oh, by the way, I do want to say uh you're talking about sellout crowds. Uh can I can I can I plug something quickly? So, I have uh I have a a show a public a public show coming up uh December 24th. Um that's Christmas Eve. Wednesday night, >> Christmas Eve. >> It's this coming Wednesday. >> This coming Wednesday. Uh in the cheese store in the five towns. They've been doing uh a lot. >> What's their capacity? We're We're at a five. What are they at? >> That's like the hot That's become like the hottest place in doing a Chinese place. People I've been getting 26. >> I've been getting messages from people store. >> They're serving Chinese. Uh they >> will there be 100 people there? >> They will be. Yeah. They could fit they could fit about 125 uh in the in the building. >> Is it sold out yet? >> Uh we we have a few tickets left. Um but uh but no, but we thank God we've really been selling and um I think people are excited about it. >> Are there people of all ages at your shows? Like this one. There'll be people of all ages. >> This one we we we we uh we kept at uh 15 and over. We kept at 15 and over. >> But will there be people in their 50s and 60s? >> Oh, absolutely.

Uh this is all ages. you know, if you want to just uh come bring your bring your spouse, bring a friend, um bring your bring your kids, your grandkids, whoever you want to bring. Uh I think it's going to be >> Oh, they're over 15, right? >> They're over 15. I think it's going to be a fantastic night out. I have an amazing show planned. Um and the Chief Store has been running these like shows for the last I think few months. I think Doy Uber was the first one to do it. Uh >> will you do a trick never seen before by >> Oh, yeah. I have some stuff I'm working on that I really haven't performed out uh in public yet. So, I've done it a few times at like private events. The cheese shop brings the best out of everybody. >> Yeah, it's uh it's it's a funny venue if you think about it. It's like it's like you're in a cheese like you're in a cafe cheese store. If you know the cheese store, it's like a cafe. Uh and like it's >> I was under the impression it's like there are 10 people there. Like >> you know, they really pack it in. Yeah, they really do pack it in. And uh uh yeah, we we've been uh I'll just I'll just shout out the uh the people from the cheese store here. Uh we've been promoting it. Uh they do a great job. He's he's literally the nicest guy. Excellent job. >> Yeah, Danielle Goldfarb from the cheese store. They they do such a good job and like I I'm excited about it. So yeah, December 24th uh at I think 7:30 doors open, 8:00 p.m. shows start. Um tickets are not very expensive. It's just one price, 50 bucks. >> You had no clue what that song. You had never heard that song before. >> I've never heard that song. >> Doug, you never heard of Hand of Hashem? >> I mean, I'm sure I've heard of it. Like if I heard the song, I'm >> The Hand of Hashem. >> Yeah. Oh, we should end with that song. That's fun. >> Okay, that would be cool. We can do that. >> But you had no idea. And but god, you know what gets me? By the way, this whole thing they refer to, you know what gets me? >> He spelled Judea the way they spelled. You could have spelled Juda a thousand different ways. That is correct. >> Where's the H at the end? No, you knew there was no H. >> I knew that what I do. That's what it >> I love it. I love it. >> That's wild. >> Unbelievable. Can we do before I let you go and today's JC? Anything else this week? That's it for >> Yeah. Oh yeah. This is So this is I do a lot big week. I do a lot of corporate holiday like corporate like I do throughout the year. My my this is my >> What's the largest corporate holiday this season that you've done? Like how many people were the largest one? >> 500. >> And does that intimidate you or 500 is no big deal? >> No, I I love it. >> It's the same as any other show and you're just the same. Call up people from the audience. You >> I mean you have to approach it a little bit differently in a sense of like you have to you there's 500 people there so you have to uh you have to play to that size audience. But um that's just minor adjustments. That's not like anything you know like I'm not changing my show because of it. I just think that you have to be a little bit more aware of the size of the room and uh making sure that uh visually it looks good. And then also um you know even like if if I perform for a big room and I'm just looking at the front the entire time the people in the back automatically are going to start feeling left out cuz like I'm not looking at them ever. >> You roam around sometimes should I? >> Yeah. So I'll do like some of that close-up like you know walk around style beforehand maybe during cocktails and then uh kind of go into the actual show during dinner. Yeah. >> Does uh your brother come with you to those 500 people sometimes? and he does the uh the video. We'll film some stuff. Yeah. Mayor, go ahead. >> I noticed how careful you were and you made a point a few minutes ago. Did you catch this? Of turning around and making sure Doug was part of the conversation. >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Which was >> Well, they're also old friends. Come on. >> I understand that. But still, that was a that was clearly something that you were that you were in tuned to doing. >> And they love that in the corporate world, right? Engagement. >> Oh, you know what? You know what the You know what you I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to spill some of my secrets here. You know you know what they love in the corporate world? If you remember their name Oh. Oh, if if someone introduced themselves to me >> and then I come back to them an hour or two hours later and I go, >> "You must be great at names." >> Yeah. I I I try my best. I try my best. I need to repeat their name back. >> People don't realize they're wearing name tags, >> right? >> I actually This is so funny. So, I'll do a lot of Yes. So, a lot of these conferences or a lot of these stuff people will have the name tags and I I'll literally I I'll I'll uh I'll I walk up to groups like, "Hey guys, my name is Schlommo. I'm the mentalist. I'm the magician, whatever. Uh I'm the entertainer. Um can I do you mind if I show you guys something?" And they'll say, uh, they'll go, uh, they'll say, um, they'll go, "Yeah." Oh, yeah. Let's do it. Yeah. I'll be like, "Even if you said no," I still would have done it. >> But, uh, but you know what? Uh, Eric, I want you to try this. And then they'll look at me. I'll be like, "No, no, I'm a mealist. You don't think I knew your name?" And then I just I'm like, "No." I'm like, "It's on your name tag." >> So, I do that that is a lie that I use. It's a great It's a great little And then they like kind of like relax them and breaks that ice a little bit. >> Do you perform in Israel a little? >> Uh, yeah. I've I've uh so I was in yeshiva there for a few years. And when I was in yeshiva there uh so I recently I have not um but I've been uh yeah when I was in yeshiva >> you were primarily in which >> bunch of years ago so I learned in called CCJ it's a branch in >> uh yeah yeah so I was there for a few years uh they have a really good basketball court that's why >> in my day and all the good food >> yeah uh well yeah I guess your day comparatively >> yeah no it was it was fine it was fine I I I I uh I actually I learned very well there and I I uh gained a lot from my experience. But um but uh when I uh when I was there, so I would do when I would come back for Pesak for the summer or whatever, I would really like hustle the gigs. Um and then when I when I was in yeshiva there, um you know, I kind of just took the time to be in yeshiva and and uh but it's funny when I was there. Um so you know, I'm sure you know Ellie Cats. seen cats. Sure. >> So, uh, Ellie Cats, uh, >> which Ellie Cats? >> Well, I assume you mean the music. >> Ellie Cats. Yes, correct. That's of Israel. >> Yeah. So, Ellie Catz, the now famous uh >> Symphonia, >> Symphonia, but now famous agent of uh he uh he um he this is so random, but he's neighbors um with my like cousin's cousin or whatever. Uh Ian Yeah. And yeah, and I was like, >> does that even count a cousin's cousin? >> Yeah, who knows? >> In our world, it does. >> That's how you and I are related, Doug. >> No, but that's how I met him. That's how I met him. >> Cousin's cousin's cousin. >> This is a crazy story. That's how I met him. I wish I met, by the way. That's how we know each other. >> How's that? >> From You're from LA. >> Oh, right. From from uh from We did that event. We did that house. >> So, when when I was uh That's so I don't know. That's so random. I I just like figured everything out of my head. Um but when I was there uh we uh his his uh he I was sitting in my in this house. I'm like >> cousin's cousin >> cousin's cousin. It's it's actually my my grandfather whatever it's my grandfather's kids from the floor whatever it's a whole Jewish whatever. >> And what happened in this house? >> I he walks into the house. I didn't know him. And he walked into the house and he goes he he goes, "Oh, could I'm just going to take a cup of water." And I guess in class whatever everyone just walks into the house. >> So my grandmother turns to like, "Oh, this guy is does music. You're a magician." Like, "Okay, so what?" She's like, "But it's my grandmother." So, she's like trying to make connection. She's trying to be my agent trying to network. Yeah. >> Yeah. So, um, so I start talking to him. I start with him. He's like, "Yeah, I actually don't do music anymore really, but like I'm like I I'm an agent. I book stuff. I do bookings." So, he's like, "Here, let me take I'll take your number after Shabas and like we'll try to connect." Um, and then he did he he hit me up like he reached out to me a few times while I was in yeshiva in Israel.

And could you guess what he is thinking? >> I can try. I can try. This is a little bit more complicated. >> I don't know, but I don't think he's going to get it. Okay. So, so here's what we'll do. Um, >> because in my mind and your mind are thinking the same thing. >> You know what? You know what we're going to do a little differently about this time? Go ahead. Here's what we're going to do.

Keep me honest and I'm not peeking. Uh, cuz obviously that would defeat the whole purpose. When you have it, just show the camera over there. >> All right. Are you okay there, Mayor? >> Yeah. >> I'm like embarrassed that I'm showing my handwriting cuz it's okay. >> Mine's worse. Don't worry. >> Mayor, is it legible? >> Could the people at home see what that says? >> I could have brought someone with >> Okay. Don't let me see it. Don't let me see. Turn it face down.

Here we're going to put the Okay, I'm not going to ask you for a hint, but in your head, I just want you to count. Just in your head, count how many. And I know you you gave me a hint a little bit because you said it's a you said a phrase or whatever. >> Something from >> Okay. Is this >> That was a hint. Wow. >> Is this uh Think about in your head. Don't say it out loud. Think about how many words are in this thing that you're thinking of in this name and this phrase and this whatever it is. Just think about how many words. Don't say it. Just think about it. >> I got it. >> Okay. He said he got it very quickly. That mean it's not like a ton and it has to obviously fit on that card. So I'm going to say under five. I'm going to say probably the average is three, but it could be two. It could be the game hot, cold, hot, cold. So I be like don't say nothing. Nothing. It's hard for me to keep quiet. >> Say the number of amount of words. >> Good. I'm not wearing a headset. Say, say the number amount of words in your head right now.

Is there another person that has to that has to do with >> Yes, >> there is. Right. Okay. That's what I thought. All right. >> Oh my. >> All right. I have something. >> I I just heard I heard the way the letters went down. >> Yes. >> You ready? On the count of three, you're going to say it out loud. I'm going to turn this around.

We said we would have we'd actually wrap up with the hand of Hashem. Here it is, folks. Another miracle, not the obvious kind, but no less wonderful. There are those who deny it. They say it's a lie with no help, no outside help from above. All of us have seen his hand the times. Our hearts green. His name between the lines. But some soon forget it. Making believe their rhymes. They turn away. That's the game they play with their lives. The hand of ashes. Yes, it was shown to them in the hand of Hashem. Yes, it was clear to them. But those who don't see are those who refuse to see and those who don't hear are those who refuse to hear. Brothers and sisters in Israel, we are with you.
