be the dead of clouds they were only like for a few seconds or whatever sometimes it was more because it was very strong please and then look i remember when i i was next to all already before the

than they see them that that that like like who did i know you knew the pet of the parents it was different altogether it's different altogether they use different together different signaling and gums not like in a pet it's not like it is totally different look he was a different type he was a first of all he's very friendly and he's very close with the talmud very close to them and i wasn't

the upselling katzman and here i'm asking how do you compare it gesture mendel to them that's what i'm asking you a different type altogether different type of thing yeah yeah he was different type if i saw you down very much barriers in the beginning later the river told them to keep the story yeah and he used to also do when he took mushki was a different different different signal together now what did you do from after your marriage you married reuben dunan's sister right yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so after your marriage you were must be already by the sheryl brook and the yeshiva no i wasn't much food there i was see the thing was like this in the last week of the like then we put fortish above the uh move back a little bit i can't see your face move back yeah before before tisha bob i don't remember was the end of tammuz a that's impossible that isn't exciting it does they came to yeshiva and they said they're gonna said he should quit we're gonna quit and we would like now that's like for two two weeks or two three weeks if you can give three uh three boyfriend to be my mother so uh i said yeah okay celebrated for two and a half weeks or whatever and and then there was

and then the the next one was melissa the next guitar was so we were there till uh until they till tisha beau and then yesterday closes and shane then went back ello went back to the did you share in the uh so we just went so later abseil came later when i stayed in that he heard about it so he asked me if i would be masked him since the schlieffer's is over not learning in the shiva they need a magic shirt one kitten was bottled is the kitten michelangelo's bottle and the other kid was he wanted to give me and they get a lower he would take over he would say this year so i was asking yeah and then when i was in yehideshtaki when i became a cousin that was that year i asked him about if i should where should i be in that's a stroll or an american debbie said no so uh i stayed for another year the reason why i stayed only for another year not more because the the he had dealers there that he want to rent out and uh yes that happens to buy i guess a kid said later he decided niched and he gave me back the money and they said that there's not going to be those and that time monkey gurusman comes over to me it doesn't mean good it's the foreign people in the but it's not a big deal right after that when i started getting a theater comes over to me though had saw at the firewall they want to open a new kit between the shiv tanner and kawaihabad it'll when it was masculine so that's how i got there so by shale i was a you know exactly and there i became and then so what type of yield result what's your impressions of him what i mean it is in there but they say that sheryl wasn't the big macus was a big mass made a it could be liquid potatoes he learned the life you know that he wasn't like i don't know i don't know if he's a masculine citizen i mean yeah but basically but but but what about wisconsin his feelings to derebba did he what his speak about that ever or not much but he was he was he he where he what i'm saying is yeah i heard from yellow mice when he was there they mentioned him he has somebody that said is so out of all these out of all these needed that you met which one made the deepest impression on you look the difference impression was a bear the second one was the parrots i mean second in this mod then the third the third was abramayo i i liked very much of the major and then raphael also the [Music] would you say that the reason why you said that had the biggest impression is because your style is more like his style yeah right the brain the brain works sometimes yeah right right right um so you were lured from what year from what year was i a load from cafe from cafe until when it's okay until when yeah yeah yeah they made a kitten like like a pharisees in a flip so i used to go i slept over there and at least they'd come home like twice a week or whatever or shabbos they used to come then came to tanaka so uh and then at the end of the year it was it was bottle the the thing and then don't think don't bang the niche put him adapted yeah since he was taking care he was the like the argent of the uh oh like these that come in [Music] one more thing and i let you go what are your heregation from nokia multamo's how you feel how you really feel i feel a very big loss and the uh look a person that was the whole time seeing there have been this different uh yeah okay so he stays with you it doesn't like i was a yosemite to 11 years old and i love my father very very much [Music] hargish tv but the hackers tv is missing everything so how do you continue how do you continue with the offering that's recording [Music] and i understand your did you finish you're writing the same for that machine what's the what's the approach what's the approach that you're using it's more like how
