Nachum Segal and Mark Zomick - Erev Shabbos Show Insights

Speaking of great programming on the Malcolm Single Network, tonight 7 pm, then again 3:00 am and 9:00 am tomorrow. It is the the award-winning, incredibly popular uh international hit Kadm presentation of the air of Shaba show hosted by Mark Zamik. I wanted to bring Mark on for a couple of reasons which we'll go through in a moment. He is with us live via telephone. Mark Zamik, a pleasure to welcome you back to JM in the AM. >> Good morning. you there, >> Mark? You there? >> Yeah, I'm here now. Sorry. >> Oh, there you are. >> Good morning, Mazalto Saba. >> Tadara, I appreciate that very much. From one Saba to another, what are your What are your What are you to your grandchildren? >> Mark, you there? >> I am. Yes, I'm here. I'm Papa. >> You're papa. That's so cool. That's uh like Steven Levenson, my mutton. Also papa. You hear me clearly? Yeah, I'm just in uh passing Newark airport, so I assume I'm losing the cell, but I should be okay in a second. >> Oh boy. You think it's a conspiracy or you think this is what usually happens to everybody in that area? >> I I I I think I've you know, it's a little flaky, but uh we should be good now. >> So, a couple of things. I I know that um I know that um these are the Now, I don't know if you'd agree with this, by the way. I was going to say these are the parios but but there are other times of the year including the shiva those who are familiar with the during the summer uh where one would say no there's a lot even more material for great musical selections on an error of shabas show the reason I chose this time of year to focus on as we get to paras this week is because I think if I'm not mistaken there's a lot of dramatic selections I think there's a lot of great uh songs that reflect these couple of weeks va bashal etc. And I wanted to get your perspective on that. Am I am I on target or am I completely overststepping on this one, Mark? >> Well, you're partially on target. I believe that other than maybe Mitsora, believe it or not, Vera has the fewest songs in the para. >> Wow. Because Bo is not like that, right? This week, we've got quite a compliment. Am I correct? >> Yeah. And of course, Bash is, you know, through the roof. But uh you know they're definitely popular songs but for era I think there were two >> and even you know let my people go was one of the two you know it was a very very >> you know but then we just get the opportunity to do other things you know it doesn't always you know so uh yeah of course my favorite are the also that plays a a different is also because it's after the three weeks so you're waiting for something and this is you know helps and Again, a lot of creative creative songs during those days. >> That's true. The sadness or the downtime, so to speak, of the three weeks really makes the shiva those weeks after tishabove much much more exciting. That's a good point. And what are the musts for this week? In other words, obviously you've been preparing as you do all week long. Tonight, you present our big thanks to our friends at Kedm obviously and then we again replay the show at 3:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. What are the musts? Give me a couple that must be included in a para's bo arov shaba selection or shaba show >> honestly um I can't even remember what songs I put in the show. It's one of those, you know, it's a little it's I don't know why I just nothing. I mean, I think I played Let My People Go again this week because it's, you know, in Gospit it's one of the I still believe it may be the best Morai David album ever was Let My People Go. Um, and um, oh, there's Nle, which is, by the way, it's to be it's a question whether Nle is really should be a P song, >> right? You you and I have discussed this before, >> right? Because normally to make it a para song so let's say half the song needs to be in the para which nale certainly falls into that category except that the entire song is a next week's para >> right so the question is how one goes ahead and incorporates it but again if next week is so full of you know amazing bashalah selections so one would say you know what let's let's defer and move it over to para's bow >> right or play it both ways so but Yeah, I mean it's also Bashallah, forget the Bashalak songs. Um, because Bashalak has aashi which is a fela. You get a lot more songs thrown in there just because of the popularity of the words. >> Mark Zamik is with us and we're talking about the Shaba show. A big big hit to say the least here at the Single Network presented by Kedum. You'll hear it at 7 p.m. tonight. Can't recommend it highly enough. 3:00 am again tomorrow, 9:00 am again tomorrow after Mis hosts Fridays JM this week. Um so what would you what would you say the reaction is these days? Because early on I know there was a lot of discussion about each individual para and you got reaction and you got feedback from listeners who wanted different things included Shabas show was in its infant stages at that point but now it's been many many years and it's a proven commodity. uh the system works very well and it's obvious from the people who are listening and the number of people who are listening that it's a very popular show. Tell me about the feedback that you're getting in terms of the music and in terms of the show in general. So I get good feedback and by the way part of it is in relation to what we just discussed is you know what what what's he going to find from this week's para >> right >> that I last week also because there was so few songs for some reason I it popped into my head I I officially added a new para song last week. Yeah. >> Was Ro Savani >> which is right which is totally associated with Kaneka. Correct. >> But there is a but there is a version of that of of those words that are the the song is just that paragraph >> of Maur and but that paragraph is about Gossit. So why is that not a parish song for? So you know we have a little fun with that. I think um Barashem we get great feedback from uh the Araf Shabas orus you're getting cut out but I'm glad you brought that up and hopefully you'll hear this and be able to comment on it. Araf Shabas's Oruus. Uh we really watched as Mark Zamik has developed this show, the Araf Shabas show. And one of the things that he's added in is Tuvia Zamik and Araf Shabas's Ous. And this has I mean I said it to you off the air and you've gotten a couple of written comments from me that people have sent in. He is making a very positive impression with the inclusion of his divor on on Friday on Thursday night and Friday's error of Shabashon. I'm sure you're getting a lot of nakas and I'm sure you're getting positive feedback. >> Barak hashem. If he sent it to me a day earlier, I'd be even happier. But I really, you know, the truth is it's all him. It was his idea. He puts it together from start to finish. I get a fully, you know, developed file, you know, over WhatsApp and I really got great feedback. It's also, you know, you play, he's been doing it for over a year, so he's already in a second cycle. Um, where you play around when do we play it, right? what part of the show does it fit into? And so one of the things that we've done with part of the show is I guess some listeners might notice a part of the show becomes what we call the final hour, right? Which is the LA we which is what we play the last hour before an Eastern time before before Kalini, >> right? And so I felt that that you know towards the end of that just to have a good spurt of you know his of its varra as part of that final preparation run into shabas and again I've gotten some good feedback. Oh just told me oh mayor fertig says you know he had two comments about the the the final hour. One was um you he had no idea that Adam you know tookia was was doing this because mayor says you know mayor um who was you know a professional HVAC who's my professional HVAC guy is often running home 3 seconds before shave from some emergency and he says that he he makes it a point to turn on the the stream to hear just to put himself back into the you know it to to bring him back to to Araf Shabasing and he so he had a comment about he didn't know what that was you know he didn't know that Adam had been doing that and the other comment was >> every once in a while I hear some random you knowish selection that seems sort of how'd that get into this mix and I go well just pay attention to the words because most likely you're going to hear them in the liturgy over the next 24 hours so again it was that's the kind of look I'm I'm I'm just appreciative if people pay attention. We know radio is always in the background >> for a lot of people when people make an insightful comment. I was at an engagement party recently and somebody's you know >> I'm just happy that people partially pay attention honestly. >> Well, they're more than partially and uh it's really been become a really really popular show. And by the way, you should tell Rubuvia that with AI, he can just based on the uh you know recordings of the last year, he could probably make a para book, you know, like uh with within minutes these days and have something to publish at this point, >> right? So, uh we'll see. You know, I'm not sure what kind of smartphones or computer he uses, so uh you know, we'll have to be careful. But I'm right about that that you know you put all this information all these files obviously it's got to be edited. You get my point. >> Oh yeah, of course. And you have to go back and read it. It's funny um Rabbi Rakett in one of his serum this week um said uh of all the things that over his you know 60 plus year of teaching Torah of and being in the world everything is more expensive. You know, gas is more expensive, food is more exp everything is more expensive except publishing. >> Wow. >> Publishing. He says, you know, his his first book on on Rabbi Revel. He said they they had to hand set every character in the book and now he just emailed his whole latest book about Rabbi Belulin to the publisher, you know. So, it was just, you're right, publishing is especially now what you can transcribe and whatever and then edit. >> Pretty amazing. Pretty amazing. Mark Zamik uh his and by the way um I if Let My People Go is more than David's number one album where's the double album? Because if you think about it the double album's got a lot of amazing hits on it as well. Would you put that in the top five? >> Um I don't know that I would put in the top five because I think that I for me the second album is I I want to say Tommed Basima might be >> not just one Chabas. Wow. >> No, not just one Chavez. I'm not sure for me just one chabas is in the top five because >> also that people nama >> right >> the the red album crazy unbelievable songs especially with the mu what people put into context with the music of that time and the orchestra he does the whole album in habaras did which I thought was fascinating >> one of my great-grandfather's albums that he liked so that I think is in that I love MBD and friends the first one of Yeah. >> You know, with you know, a freed I mean just a that's that's a you know um Vaviosim and um >> Unity. It's a good song. >> Yeah. Unbelievable. So I look he's got a you know obviously among if not the you know greatest bodies of work um that has evolved with the times and evolved with him and their artistic ability. I don't think, you know, he's he's certainly in in in the last >> 60 years unmatched. You know, we could put you could list the top three, but you know, number two and number three with all the respect and we can agree on who they are. He's still there's not there's a big gap between number one and number two. >> Yeah. And the proof's in the pudding because the majority of people agree with you, which is hard to get usually a consensus on things like that. Mark Zamik, he hosts the Kedm presentation. A big shout out to Kedm, the Herszog family. Uh he hosts the Era of Shaba show tonight starting at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time right after the Kosha teroir with Simon Jacob. The Era of Shaba show will be replayed at 3:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. tomorrow. Check it out everybody. This is one of I mean I know every week is great and and we described why. I mean Mark and I just discussed it. Uh but these par shows etc. Um during this period of time it's always fascinating to see what Mark includes, doesn't include etc. I guess last week you also had Kasakodesesh to lean on, right? Um I had to lean on they're always look and sometimes it's just nice to play your regular shabas music you know >> so try to get that mix going. I'll usually try to land on at least in my head a theme. >> I think people again would listen oh I heard a lot of cabal shave songs this week played a lot of smears this week. So you know was just trying to look I'm there honestly we've discussed this over the years. just as much more about entertaining myself than entertaining anybody else quite frankly. >> Well, we're the beneficiaries of it, frankly. >> So, that's it. That's it, you know. >> All right. Thank you, Papa Mark. It's always a pleasure. Have a wonderful Shabas and good luck tonight. >> So, awesome to be with a lot of Nahas and uh with um with your your extended family and the upcoming wedding. It's we're we're we're we're the song you just played, you know, I think you and I can acknowledge how beyond rich that we are with what we have. >> Yeah, 100%. There's no question about that and I appreciate that very very much.
