Making Emuna Real (Ep. 158)

hi this is david rolofsky and welcome to another episode of the rubber allow ski show and whether you're watching with our friends over at tour anytime i tour anytime whoever you watch or listen to your podcast it's always wonderful to have you along for this exciting adventure um we're going to start with our sponsorship the episode is sponsored uh by michael stern to spread the word about the new book is the good book bad a traditional jewish response to the moral indictments of the bible has huskamus by reverend zev left of aaron opianski and a forward by rabbi dr david gottlieb um this is a fascinating book and it is so incredibly important look the torah has been under attack uh for centuries if not millennia spinoza would attack uh things in the torah thomas paine the age of reason tax things uh in the scopes trial uh clarence darrow that was most of his defense was making attacks on things that were written in the torah um i remember hearing a debate between well an interview with a reformer orthodox rabbi and they were talking about teremi sinai hashem gave the torah or not the former everybody said of course not because god would never say the following i always thought that was fascinating because you being god of course uh able to understand uh what god would or would not do it's not that you have to fit your reasoning into kurdish boroughs it's that uh you know coach barco has to fit into you and so uh michael stern uh took uh a lot of the major issues that people are wrestling with today these issues change you know the rambam had to address aristotelian philosophy a lot of people are not really bothered by aristotle today but they find other issues that are hot button topics as i pointed out uh 70 years ago homosexuality was punishable by imprisonment today if you think there's anything wrong with it you can be imprisoned everything is turned upside down so as from jews people turn to us and attack us yeah some some uh very not well woman who decided not to be from anymore uh decided to make a a a reality tv show talking about how terrible torah is no you just don't want to you just don't want to have any restrictions in your life because you obviously have issues i remember uh the novominsky rebel once i heard him at the project inspired convention and he says you know i remember when people had problems now we have issues you know obviously as issues and so they raise these questions and people don't know how to respond to it and uh if you uh if you read the husqvas the the makuros that he brings down in the sources and uh and the logical argumentation you can tell that this is a well-researched and entire intelligent book because the first thing i did is i searched for my name and sure enough he quotes me so you know that this is a quality book if my name wasn't there i don't know i don't know but uh you know uh and i have to say that obviously the author practices tremendous restraint because he only quotes me once i mean i if it was me i would have quoted myself much more but it was really fascinating book to read so you can buy the ebook or pre-order your hard copy at www dot that's oneword.org and for more writing by michael stern visit mccoylesstern.com mccall stern is one word so go out um check out this book i would not recommend it uh if i uh if i didn't think that it was worthwhile or if it didn't quote me so you know that we're dealing we're dealing with quality okay a couple of bits of business i mentioned the last time the idea of possibly making a interactive uh tv series like uh shir as opposed to just doing a podcast and putting up different things there are people who do that but i i i the shirum that i give i give two missiles to charms a week and uh and the da field me are interactive i want people to be able to ask questions to be able to participate and that's a it's a whole different thing otherwise it's not it's not uh it's not a relationship it's just you know you put something out there and whatever happens happens i want to be able to interact with the people and to be answered you know questions as they come up and to to deal with real situations that people have yeah we got a lot of response of people who are interested it's going to be a little tricky working out the timing as producer mikhail pointed out the only time for sure that has been eliminated is friday night almost every other time seems to be good for some people so we're going to have to try to work it out at a time that will hopefully be worthwhile for everybody else but if there's anyone who is still interested in possibly getting involved in this we're not we're not starting it next week uh it's it's going to take a little while to put it together but if this sounds like something you would be interested in go to uh my website raviolowsky.com contact and uh you know say hey i would also like to be part of this interactive tv sheer is there a way that i could also participate and the answer is yes you can okay well i had more or less uh written the obituary on my speaking career [Laughter] and uh i always say it's the power of tefila that feel of good people yeah um good people have uh power of tefila my wife being a good person said to me why do you have to travel so much because my entire speaking career collapsed for two years and uh that's the power of tavila you know you don't realize it i remember once i was flying to england from your original from from meredith's show and the entire plane was filled with either non-jewish or secular people and i was sitting up front there were only two seats up front and i was sitting in one and the other was empty and the plane keeps filling up and filling up and i'm wondering who's going to sit there the whole plane is full they're about to close the doors and the seat next to me is still empty and suddenly the swisher shiva comes out there's only one seat left on the plane and he's looking at his uh boarding pass he's looking around and he sees the one empty seat and he sits down next to me so i said well uh what luck there's only two from people on the plane and we're seated next to each other and he says to me luck he says this is this is the power of tafilah before i fly i darwin that i should have this huss to sit next to a bentaira so i can speak in learning for the flight it shows you the power of te fila i said it shows you the power of your tv i darven to have an empty seat next to me so my wife's feeling was uh was pretty powerful and so i didn't really have any speaking things for two years people said it was course of covert now it collapsed the year before covent i'm always ahead of the curve like i was careful to lose all of my money and before the collapse in 2008 the only thing that i still had left was my overdraft and i held on to that it did not disappear that was my only investment that i still had you know so uh but uh i guess my wife started to feel bad for me as i sit and wander around the house you know and uh i don't know really where to go and what to do and i just keep complaining you know i used to sound more like winnie the pooh and now i'm starting to sound like eeyore [Laughter] don't you see the speaking engagements don't you see all the flying and the places i am going to [Laughter] so uh so coach baruch who obviously heard her change of heart i'm going to america i'm going to be there for three shabbasan three un yeah uh three three shabbasan february 18th and 19th i'm going to be in lakewood new jersey this is a small town you may have heard of uh used to be a resort area and uh i'm going to be there doing an event i'll give you more information on the events as we get closer the next shop is february 25th and the 26th i'm going to be in the project inspire convention and uh i already got a couple of uh letters from people who tell me oh you're gonna be there then of course i'm gonna go and i hope to see you there that would be wonderful and the next shop is march 4th and 5th i'm going to be in los angeles by my good friend rabbi summers in uh ancie emma's and in los angeles and um so i have dates in between that we're working on we're also working on a couple of uh live rubbish shows where we'll have guests and music and you know make a whole uh make a whole to do so those of you who would like to be part of the raviolaski show in poison this is going to be an opportunity so you don't want to miss that so as we have more information i'll make sure and give it out but that's uh the bits of business uh the dates that i have available for speaking and uh and the um uh fila series that we're gonna be starting so crusader um producer mchale started a new aspect of the show as you know if you've been watching and that is question and answers and uh the thing about question and answers is that the answers often inspire more questions [Music] when i taught in discovery so they used to have an outline for the class and one of the presenters told me that as time goes on the class gets longer and longer why because people ask good questions and you give a good answer when you give a good answer you end up incorporating that into the original share outline so as time goes on the questions get incorporated into it so the question answer format is designed to be a relatively um brief response yeah i remember when i was teaching in oil of gola part of the series was how to answer all the basic questions on judaism and um one of the questions was about free will which uh maybe we'll talk about there's a question about it coming up but um the the concept of uh free will so i gave a relatively short answer and what i try to do with the short answers is to make an answer that is effective but it's definitely not exhaustive and uh the fact that there's uh sometimes different cheetahs so um robert hartman who is of course best known for his uh his mufashim on the works of the maharao um was uh uh speaking also i mean he had an entire class dedicated to the concept of free will and one of the guys said yeah robiolovsky answered this already he said x remember hyman says to him okay but you know there's more to say on the topic that's not an exhaustive response and that's true and the fact of the matter is that i've worked hard over the years to try to take the answers that i give and reduce them to sound bites because not everybody has the patience uh to listen to a whole share yeah um robert stefanski who gives a daffo me uh i give it up for me uh online and i charge for it he gives it in person and online for free and he gives you a free escrow gamer if you join surprisingly he has more people participating than i do why is a mystery to me but at any event i actually uh he invited me to speak at the scene um on massachusetts you can find that online by the way um and i it was beautiful there we were it was of we were overlooking the the kaiser and uh it was a beautiful beautiful event that was a big squish to participate and um uh i mentioned this because his sheer is very very popular a lot of people follow along but he also has an eight-minute summary an eight-minute da fiomi summary because not everybody can hold that level of concentration and that's why uh i forgot who it was there was one french philosopher who said i apologize for writing you a long letter i don't have time to write you a short one because to be concise and still be able to capture the idea is uh is an art form um it was a fellow who uh the cousins for whatever reason he uh he wanted to you know do a tiger for this guy in response to something else the whole story but uh he says i along with you each each uh day help you prepare for your shirt so he comes in the casino she says what'd you say over today he says i said over khasanesh he says but it took me four hours to turn it into a shirt because the khazanish used to just write things very brief and just with the conclusion so it took me four hours to take it apart and turn it into the lumbers and give it over as a share the resonation looked them and said it took me six hours to get rid of all that lumpness i'm gonna make it concise uh weinberg tells a story about this fellow who became a gear because he started studying the rambam's mishnah torah and he said there's no way a person could have written this to be able to put in all this information in such uh uh concise way it's impossible and uh that is one of the accomplishments a tremendous tremendous accomplishment and that's why people don't really appreciate when you look at the torah in a relatively small period of time that they managed to encapsulate all of the teres about pet and all of the hashgaffer and all of the kabbalah and all of the things that are there that you're able to put into a passage with relatively uh brief ideas where we learn now something from above or a map okay i mean it's just amazing what what the torah is is the divinity of it and the power that exists inside of it so i've worked very hard to try to say things in a concise way but sometimes it needs expansion so someone wrote in and said um my son wants to know how do we know we're right and i gave an answer to that question how we know that the torah is correct and so i wrote in and said you mentioned that's the brief explanation what's a longer explanation so i thought since the ramban at the end of parsha's bow stresses that all of euteus mitsrayam is there to establish a muna so that the kurdish baruch who doesn't have to split the red sea every few years it was done at one time in history all of the nissan neflos to establish accuracy's credentials and then a fail-safe method of transmitting the information accurately and that in itself is uh is really a source of discussion i remember uh mati burger was talking once and he says you know there are now holocaust deniers and it's not that long after the holocaust so there'll come a time when people won't even believe it ever happened what can we do to guarantee it and he says you know uh make a special day to commemorate it uh holocaust memorial day uh put in special you know rituals that people observe um write it down make it a all these different things and when he was done he says right that's what we did with you see this mission because we knew that there'd come a time when people would deny it so it's the sight of a muna yeah when we come to her sinai koji baruch says i am hashem is that a mitzvah or not ramban says it's a general principle in which case the aseris had dibros would not be the ten commandments it would be uh ten statements which is exactly what asaris had dibros means the rambam says it's a mitzvah it's a mitzvah to know that hashem exists not just to have a muna but to know it as a fact ryadata to know that this is true and that this is right and not just that well you know we have a synagogue and they have a church we have a rabbi and they have a priest you know we have hanukkah they have christmas uh we have pesach they have easter you know um we have uh we have a bible they have a bible the new testament sequel god gets married and has a kid you know uh we we have we have uh you know everyone thinks they're right and by the way it's a very important point everyone can think they're right it doesn't mean anything yeah my brother dave barry who was a humorist out of the miami herald uh wrote an article once about people who are humor impaired human pig they're not they don't have a sense of humor they just don't get it it's not that they get the joke and they don't think it's funny they just didn't know there was a joke they didn't realize it he brings an example you know this is an old column you know he says like former president nixon was humor-impaired and uh you know so they used to attach a wire to him and when there was a joke they'd give him a shock so that um you know he would know that there was a joke and he would laugh so if you say it's not nice making fun of president nixon if you say yeah he's a real idiot i'm glad you're making fun of him okay but if you say that's not what they would do they would use hand signals then you are humor impaired you just don't even realize that there was there was a joke there yeah so my brother who has a wonderful sense of humor as uh orolovskies do yeah everyone has a great sense of humor i have one daughter uh who i love very dearly but she cannot tell a joke she just can't she's the first one to admit it she uh she messes up every joke i love you dearly though you know who you are [Laughter] and uh i don't wanna name names but uh so um but my my brother has a wonderful sense of humor so he bought these joke lottery tickets that you scratch them off you won a million and dollars stucked him in a shock about us and a person didn't realize it was a joke it was a joke and he scrapes it off and he's so happy and he calls his family he's already planning how to spend the money he's not and finally he calls up my brother and thanks him and you've changed my life and my brother had to tell him that it was a joke and i don't think that fellow ever talked to my brother again because not everybody has a sense of humor so everybody thinks they're right just because you think you're right the person thinks yeah that i won a million dollars i didn't but i think i did and nobody knows the difference everybody thinks that they're right it's uh it's a tricky thing and then you find out that you're wrong it can be a very wrenching experience right so uh uh so the fact that someone thinks that they're right and they're very convinced it doesn't mean anything you know people could believe anything so what are your options avravino started with the argument known as first cause meaning where did the world come from and that's how the ghazal describe it is the marshall of where he went and broke all the idols it's not that he actually walked around with a hammer and smashed them all it's he followed logically down every single philosophy until he hit a dead end and that broke the idol and after he eliminated all the other possibilities he was left with i gotta figure this out on my own and he came up with the concept of a all-powerful infinite god with no beginning and no end who always was they uh the rest of the world didn't even know what to do with this and uh i had a guy once russia told me that i don't remember it was sociology or anthropology where he says the greatest development in mankind was the fact that they came up with this idea of monotheism the uh uh one all-powerful god and there is no monotheist alive today who didn't get it from avraham avinu who figured this out on his own and when he would try to work with people to get them to see the truth that's what he did so he did it because he figured out if there's an all-powerful infinite god then by definition he doesn't need anything that's why you can never use the term need or want by hashem you can only say he chose to do something i why whatever his reasons were but you can never say because he needed to or he wanted to and that's why he said pure gesset is doing something for no reason i remember i was speaking to a group of israelis once in english and i said god created the world as an act of altruism that was too big a word for them mother altruism i said altruism is doing something nice for no reason and they said ah afraid that's an israeli word it means sucker i said right hashem is the ultimate friar [Laughter] monitor said once this is the the one phrase that's going to destroy eretz these stories the jewish people in in israel is mandy freya because i should do something nice for them is the ultimate friar altruism so in order to introduce this concept to the world avraham became the ish not because he was a nice guy not that he wasn't a nice guy but that wasn't his motivation he did it to teach people about a kurdish borough by doing and by avraham doing that brought people to recognize the kurdish borough and what was his method he would uh give a wonderful meal as we see in the torah at the end he'd pull out the art school benches with the nc's white benches i don't know which one he had you know i said and he said okay now let's batch whichever one makes the uh the arabic version because these three arabs came yeah so he's like you know it's bench yeah make tonight canada night anyway so uh let's bench so they said well i don't i don't believe in god he says oh all right then let's work out the bill um tongue with mustard excellent choice uh let's see i had to slaughter the entire cow to get that so we have to figure that in um we opened with kurds and ways wonderful appetizer uh let's see um we have uh transportation and maintenance in the desert you know here's your bill i'm not going to pay that i was a guest says you're not a guest a guest thanks the host you don't want to thank the host so thank you he says well i didn't i didn't prepare the food just look the fruit came from the tree so i think the tree the tree came out of the ground i think the ground the ground came out of the sun you know the earth burst out of the sun so i thank the sun the sun came out of a big giant blob of gases okay thank you big giant blob of gases and where did that come from and this was the argument that avram vino used where did the world come from now when we search if that is the the start of our question then we say to where the world come from so that eliminates the eastern religions these and religions don't deal with um the question of where the world come from there's one that says the entire world rests on the back of a giant turtle so somebody climbs the mountain to go and ask the uh the wise man what does that turtle rest on he says an even bigger turtle he makes the journey a second time and the guy says it's turtles all the way down [Laughter] so if you don't even address the question then there's nothing i can do for you i have to ask where did the world come from the world is finite had to come from someplace where did it come from so aristotle and the greeks tried to say it always was right so the big bang shlugged that up you can't say that anymore because the big bang shows that at some point the universe popped into existence you can't say it was always here so where'd it come from so who addresses this question the jews the christians the muslims and the various sects that come out of those religions those are the only ones who even address it yeah and they all start with the same assumption god gave the torah to the jews on mount sinai that's the starting point i there's a christian woman she said once you know [Music] the jews are the chosen people god gave the jews the bible in mount sinai yeah it's true it says every christian believes that yeah how come none of the jews i meet believe that this is because you can believe and it doesn't cost you anything we believe it we have to keep shabbos we have to keep kosher it comes to all kinds of obligations i'm just not convinced there's never enough evidence as noah weinberg likes to say be a judge and not a lawyer can you argue you can always make an argument uh maybe you could say this maybe because i forget about but la mesa what is the reality does this make sense or not not could you say what makes sense uh when i speak sometimes especially the secular audiences and i'm making whatever points it is i'll turn to somebody and i'll say does this make sense does this make sense they'll say yeah you know on rare occasions they'll say no because i'll address the question but more times than not they say to me yeah one time when i was talking about relationships you know i remember i said this is making sense and this guy says unfortunately yes it's gotta make sense it's gonna it's gotta it's gotta ring true for you not that yeah but maybe i could say that the modern torah took place because uh the mun was really hallucinogenic mushrooms and they all had a you know uh uh you know this bad trip and they pictured this happening okay do you have any evidence [Laughter] could you say yeah you could say okay aliens came from outer space there was a book called chariots of the god where they tried to show how all the miracles took place because of people from outer space and okay could you say you could say that does this make any sense it doesn't make any sense then then save us both a lot of time yeah it's got to make sense and that becomes the argument so we come down to judaism christianity and islam as the monotheistic religions and all of them agree that god gave the torah to the jews of mount sinai the only question is did he change his mind did he change his mind afterwards when i originally answered the question i told the story but the girl in south africa jesus why don't the jews accept jesus i told it god said i will never change this word i'll never change what i'm saying the end of the story now there are other proofs right um revelation uh proof the mass revelation that the kusara uses i don't use that why because it works with the assumption that people are reasonable and it's amazing how few people are reasonable the odds of a bacteria forming this is scientific america it's the same odds of a tornado ripping through a junkyard assembling by pure chance of 747. 747 does a million parts in its wings it's so outrageous as to be ridiculous and yet people will say that could happen isaac newton had a model of the solar system and someone says hey uh how did you make this because i didn't make it i had all these little pieces of paper and uh wire and things and these two cats were fighting this and they knocked everything over and this is what they made this is that's ridiculous he says you think a model of the solar system uh couldn't happen by accident but the entire universe did does that make any sense so um so those are the other proofs that people give and things like that i people try to put out the logic of the torah and the intelligence of it and you know and the prophecies i i don't like to go into anything that i feel leaves any room i say like this everybody who agrees that there's a god who created the world agrees that the torah was given to the jews of mount sinai and then you have to accept the fact that god changed his mind even though he said he wouldn't and decided to to give up on that that to me does not really make sense so i hope this develops it a little bit more like i say the ammuna is something that we have to work on it is internal know it and place it on your heart i can't tell you how many from people i've met over the years who say to me i know there's a god i just don't believe it those intellectually it makes sense but to internalize it so it becomes a reality to me in the uh episode where we talked about you know how to make hashem real we mention this that that people don't see hashem as being real and so even though it makes sense intellectually it doesn't become a part of their lives so that's our vote that during these times that's what you see as messiah is about that's what all this is about matan torah is to incorporate according to the rabbi that's the mitzvah to not just believe but to know that a kojo exists and make it a reality for us that's a foundation to our to our voda and uh we will work on making this something more of a reality okay now we come to our new section the q and a section of our show w danziger asks can you share your mother's cupcake recipe i'm getting really hungry okay so i mentioned that schwa is a big month for me and uh both my father and my mother passed away in this month so since i mentioned all of this about amuna i should point out that uh that my father grew up in brownsville he grew up in the shromashivers home and uh he left because he couldn't make a living being shoma shabbos at the time and eventually he made his way back but he used to describe the scene to me he says i'd go into the steeple where the old men were saying to him and i'd ask why why why this why that they said you don't ask you don't ask you do ask that's one of the great things about this question answer series is that you know we we it's good to ask questions you should always have questions but my father lived at a time where there was nobody to give any answers now that's why our uh our sponsor uh is the good book bad right is is working on issues that people have and trying to answer them i think it's very important so shout out to my father in this 25th uh yort site and my mother's yard site is this week so what is your mother's cupcake recipe just maybe i'll give a quick word about uh about my mother my mother her mother was the daughter of a very crush of a rev in vilna and uh came to america and you know it wasn't easy to find jewish people to marry she married my grandfather who my mother said didn't go to shawn young kipper nothing but he started the green line bus company with one bus and he built it if you're from queens the green light bus company my grandfather started that himself with with one bus built into a whole bus company he died of pneumonia um when he was my mother was a teenager and he had brought his brothers over from europe and put them in the business and after he died they squeezed my grandmother out and i lost my bus company so uh instead of a rov i could have been a bala boss but uh that was my mom grew up with very little and she followed my father you know and uh she uh she your side's coming around and she leaves behind at this point 90 great grandchildren with uh more on the way right now miss hashem but uh she was a fabulous cook and i've given over my mother's recipes for the most part my mother did not bake she didn't she had a very it's easy approach and since between me and you and i'm saying this you know privately personally just you and i and 10 000 people um there are very few things that you can't uh buy at a good bakery it's gonna come out as good as anything you make that's my opinion what can i tell you you don't have to agree with me you know we used to um we used to get a uh we had when we make a chevy breakfast we used to get this chocolate chocolate fudge cake from zomix and we used to decorate it with the um i think it was the sleeping beauty thing and it had a you know a hustle and a collar and a little carriage and this you know i had people who had been on diets for 20 years who ate that cake [Laughter] we've tried to recreate it we can't do the magic i'm sorry it was uh give me just a moment to reflect on that all right so um i actually bought a carriage it's just so the only things that she made was a sour cream chocolate cake that for my father's birthday she would make this and it was just out of this world and no one knows where the recipe is [Music] and she would make an apple pie that was also quite exciting one of my sister-in-laws have the recipe i don't have the recipe so she never to my knowledge ever made cupcakes i'm sorry so if you're looking for cupcakes go to the bakery and buy a cupcake that's my advice um and we made reference to this question how can i accept that something someone else did to harm me is bashert the answer is one of the things about being god is you're all-powerful and all-knowing and as the khazal say uh there's someone who's high of misa and this guy someone is kai of gullis and the koshbar will arrange for the two of them to be together in the same place and one guy will fall off the ladder on the other guy and kill him and then he'll have to go into gullus and hashem arranged this it didn't happen per chance there's no chance encounters the medrash says that the issue of uh sadly was one that moshe beno struggled with many examples of it but one of them is the medrash he's by the well and this guy goes and drops his wallet second guy comes along sees the wall takes the wallet a third guy comes to fill up uh by the well the first guy comes back and says where's my wallet so i know what you're talking about so you stole my wallet i said no you didn't and he kills him so much remember i was like whoa whoa so coach baruch says okay i'm not doing this all the time but you know just nothing happens for nothing the first guy's father stole the money from the second guy's father so when he dropped the wall the second guy found it he got his money back to the guide stolen from him uh the third guy had killed the first guy's father so when the first guy killed him you know everything was working out so we look at situations and we say look the famous question by aetherius messiah is why did pyro get punished uh could you barclay said you're going to be strangers in the land not yours for 400 years you're going to be oppressed you're going to be uh you know uh tortured you know and then you're going to go out with great wealth yeah so pyro could say listen i was just doing the will of hashem there's a lot of answers to this but one is no one told you how to do this you wanted to do something bad and so kurzweil allowed you to use your evil to be able to do something that fit in with the general plan but no one told you to do it and that's the gemara with nero yeah they tell nero the jews are rebelling this is the whole story what comes about kamsa so nero hears this so he shoots an arrow towards zero shall i am goes straight he shoots it to the north fume veers the usual iron shoes to the south boom goes usually shoots it to the west loop the loops and goes back to michelin and he said okay god wants to destroy his temple and exile his people and he wants to put it on me no way i'm out of here and he he disappeared yeah according to the gemara he ran off and he converted yeah because he was not interested in doing this i don't have to do this so a cousin will find somebody else unfortunately there are enough people who are willing to do bad things in this world that uh that occurs baroque can use to be able to make sure that we get what's coming to us it's not that somebody does and that's why um i spoke once uh at the tituba program and uh this guy started yelling at me because uh i i made uh oblique reference to something to do with the holocaust and and you know no one has a right to question the holocaust so the next year i decided to face it head-on and i and i spoke about the kinna on the showa on the holocaust and i said the khazali asked why was the first place having dish destroyed they asked why was the second baseman destroyed they asked why was the city of batard destroyed they said uh the richonam asked why did the crusades take place the achironam asked why did you know takavata take place and this is the first tragedy you're not allowed to ask why nothing bad luck we're in the wrong place the wrong time you know it's just that the bad people decide to do bad things and we say no yeah a coachbarrel has no shortage of ways of of stopping things from happening if he allowed it to happen it's because bad people managed to make a shidduch with people who had some reason why this had to happen so therefore i told the story once you know about a person who wanted my job and he did this whole underhanded campaign to destroy me and uh created a situation where i had no choice but i had to quit and then he took my job um and i went on and got much better job he was a schleeck because it was time for me to leave and i wouldn't leave because inertia you know you stay where you are and uh and uh coach barclay had to send the force to move me so that i would get what i was supposed to get and i know that now i'm still pretty upset at him just like pyro gets punished you know we don't let him off the hook but uh listen in the end it worked out best for me anonymous asks if you don't like how oscar translates the word hine as behold how do you translate it look you know you remember him look days are coming is it gonna be a daze [Laughter] there's no use for the word behold it never belongs in any sense thus saith the lord for i doth come unto thee and i thus sayeth that i wish i had got some speech therapy to deal with my lisp forsooth forsooth tis a sorry plight yeah so uh yeah these these words don't don't don't don't hina you remember m yeah days are coming it's okay you don't need to behold you understand when you say braces barely kim s my vessel arts how do i translate s i don't not everything is translated that's when you go to the living terror by arya kaplan the whole sentence structure
