and a little bit later we're gonna have my friend Ellie Leibowitz on it's gonna be a lot of fun we have some excellent programming happening this week and I also want to let you know that the O you is running a most heating campaign there's a staggering amount of need in our community people are always this time of year in a particular place of need and this year it is that much more dire if you are interested in participating in campaign make your way to the Oita or website but also if you're interested in sponsoring the show your sponsorship will go straight to the most recent campaign so reach out oh you live at OU you org in the meantime like to introduce our next guest dr. Howard Koh lachemann dr. Howard Goldschmidt is this is a long he's a senior cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic Valley Heart and Vascular Institute in Ridgewood sub specializing in interventional echocardiography for diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of valvular heart disease but dr. Goldschmidt the reason you're here in particular is because you're also the president of the American committee for Shaarei Tzedek doctor welcome I rabbi Pardo it's great to be here his amazing than I wish I wasn't here to discuss Corona but you know we've got to make the best of everything what can I tell you it's on everyone's minds might as well dig more in so if we want to ignore Corona for a second I wouldn't mind getting to know a little bit about Charlotte etic its history your history its history and Jerusalem that's been there for a good long time in your history with it so Shaarei Tzedek was founded about a hundred years ago a little bit more than a hundred years ago after money was raised by Jews in Frankfurt and Amsterdam the first director-general was dr. Moshe wallop who came from Germany and founded the hospital in the old building on Road the hospital has had just a handful of director generals since him and it's been a very important job because each one has advanced the hospital by leaps and bounds my family because of our German Jewish origin has been involved in the hospital for 60 years but both of my grandfather's were deeply involved one of my grandfather's was on the board another one of my grandfather's was a classmate in Germany of dr. Schlessinger who was the second director general but all the director generals were Yankees were German Jews no just just the first the first to buy that the the charter of the hospital said that the head of the hospital II that the Director General or the president of the hospital would always be somebody who was an Orthodox Jew it was it was chartered as a hospital under Orthodox cause disease and in fact there are only two other hospitals in Israel they're under what he could hold him and in a column is now part of Shaarei Tzedek oh that's part of how Charlotte said it grew in the last ten years we absorbed beaker : and right now the old beaker Hall and site next to mayishan room is really mostly a maternity hospital they has some outpatient services but it's essentially a maternity hospital and all their inpatient doctors and services were brought over to our main campus and buy it through dawn hazing so this is not the first time the hospital has lived through a crisis of some sort they've been unfortunately many crises in Jerusalem over the past century all the way honest difference but it can we can start during World War one when people don't know this but it during World War one people in Jerusalem were starving that the Turks really cut the city off from food and all of Israel was starving it was also a locust infestation dr. Wallach was able to buy a few dairy cows and behind the hospital he had a little dairy farm where he obtained milk that he gave to all the children who were patients in the hospital and basically any other children that came to shirah ascetic lunchtime would get milk from doctor those are the pictures of the the milk the milk jugs in the hospital i I don't know those pictures but I would guess so and I've seen those pictures and one of one of the many places where the Turks surrendered to the British was at Shaarei Tzedek and dr. Wallach was there then you know flash-forward to 1948 the wounded were constantly being brought to Shaarei Tzedek and were being tended to a tirade senic unfortunately there was no place to bury the dead in jerusalem a shot rights that i even established a small cemetery behind the hospital and then flash forward to the sill there what is the there's the cemetery is still behind the old Jaffa Road building diagonally behind it it's behind the fence it's really not accessible unless you have permission to enter well and then we you know shall I said I took care of Jerusalem during the three intifadas our trauma centre was was known for being great and Swift and and wonderful at saving lives of course some people died my first year working at Shaarei Tzedek was in the last Intifada that they called this stabbing Intifada and I remember being down on the ground floor when ambulances would come and I would see our Director General who was then the head of the trauma unit professor Marion rushing into the trauma center so Coronas not the first crisis but it's certainly unique in what ways it is is it unique in what ways has charted setec shifted to accommodate the new health crisis well we've never had to deal with an epidemic of this proportion and no one in the world has had to deal with an epidemic of this proportion but you know we we are prepared for it you know the professor marine who I just mentioned is also a colonel in the IDF and he's been the head of the IDF's field hospital went to the Philippines and to Haiti for the natural disasters the World Health Organization has cited the IDF field hospital as being one of the best in the world and professor marine is involved deeply with the World Health Organization so he is accustomed to dealing with the types of natural disasters and emergencies which had some analogy to the current via virus situation the Health Ministry just came to Shara ascetic this week to check things out and said that we were better prepared than any other Hospital in Israel which is good because we are now in the unfortunately the top three of hospitals caring for Kovach patients in terms of numbers of patients that were caring what does it mean to be prepared meaning how well has was that mean for the hospitals I mean increasing the number of beds or they they basically cleared out some some words they set up three separate Ward's each word has 20 patients each ward is sealed off and has a glass door that leads into the ward so that the nurses can watch from outside the pen and not have to spend too much time in contact with the patients because aside from taking care of the patients we have to protect our precious nursing and medical staff we have rooms in between the glass door and the nursing station where the medication is brought in and some and the patients were well enough to come out actually bring the medication in and help distribute it to the to the other patients the less sick ones of course the nurses are back and forth all day but we we've used some of the less sick patients to help with the patient care and during the first few weeks of the epidemic and when we just had one of the wards there was incredible camaraderie between the patients within the ward yesterday I spoke to one of the nurses there and this is a terrific story her name is Rachel Gomorrah she was an oncology nurse who volunteered to work in in the coveted ward as soon as it opened and that's different from most hospitals where nurses have to be assigned to taking care of Corona patients and she told me this heartbreaking story of the first death in Israel from the virus it was a Holocaust survivor named Rea Evan and he had been in the unit for weeks or a week or more and was slowly getting worse but he still had a good personality and he was still talking and he and all of the other patients there loved him and and sadly the moment that he was dying and he was you know passing into the next world he was surrounded not by his family because in no Hospital in the world that family allowed next to these patients he was surrounded by all of his new friends who he had made in this ward and that's that's the type of story that happens at Shaarei Tzedek all the time the camaraderie between patients is not unique to coven yes I've seen times where wherever I've walked into what some of the older hospital rooms have three beds in the room and you'll have two Israeli men and one Arab man and and they'll all be chatting away and that's that that's normal and you know Israelis when they meet each other in the hospital they they'll always have someone in common even you know even if it's it's a Yemenite Israeli and an Ashkenazi or who comes from Tel Aviv and the phrase that they always use is kyboots gali up the in gathering of the exiles and you know that Israel is one big family mentioned earlier and I I wanted to ask more about Kobe mentioned when I started working at Shaarei Tzedek but my my impression is that you work here in North Jersey right Italian right so can you you you you work there you were Thyer for the last five years I've been spending the month of February there every year volunteering as a cardiologist in the jeselsohn heart center at the hospital and I'm very lucky that I was able to arrange that it I had started visiting the hospital when I was vacationing in Israel years before I would stop in I would sit in on their fantastic coronary care unit morning conference and as long ago as maybe 16 years ago and I always wanted to have something to do with the hospital in cardiology and as time went on and I visited more and more I got to know people there and the last chief of Cardiology I sat down with them and I told them what I wanted to do at that time I called it a mini sabbatical and he said there's no reason you can't do it let's go and he walked me down six flights of stairs to the personnel office introduced me to the nice lady who helped me get a temporary medical license and less than a year later I was there and this proceeded your your term as presidency right I became president just in July of 2019 and you're spending about a month a year you said a month a year I spent almost a full month between February and March and then I'm they're easily in the spring and in the fall I'll stop by and work there for one or two days just to just to catch up with people and and stay in touch with with my colleagues there so tell me what have you learned from your Israeli colleagues that you haven't from or wouldn't from your American colleagues how are the how are the doctors how's medical practice in Israel different well I don't know that much about medical practice in Israel I know a lot about medical practice in cardiology at Shaarei Tzedek and I can tell you that that they had a fantastic team in cardiology and for a number of reasons the doctors there tend to have many more years of training than their counterparts elsewhere in the world they they usually do five years of internal medicine before doing a cardiology which which is different from the us where it's usually three years of Internal Medicine they do a full cardiology fellowship of three or four years in Israel and then most of them go to either Europe Canada or the US and do another two years of extra training so these are really super skilled cardiologists with great training because they spent so many years training there the team is used to working with each other there's not that much turnover so everybody knows everyone else's strengths and weaknesses and the teamwork is fantastic and every day in the morning there's a conference spending a whole hour going over the complicated patients that are in this in the hospital for the last few days the ones that came in the night before back and forth discussions arguments and a lot of decisions are not made by just one doctors they'll be made at that conference in the morning how is um I know I know testing is very different in Israel and in America another there's so many different what Israelis are treating the response to corona differently than Americans can you speak to that what why is that well Israel started the quarantine much earlier than everyone else and they their initial approach was to try to hospitalized all the initial cadre of patients who were positive for the virus in order to contain the virus but after a while that the virus was still spread but I think that initial containment helped right now Israel is not acts anywhere near accelerating as fast as the other countries that have suffered from the virus that the testing works differently if somebody is sick they call muggins of it out um the ambulance service and tell their symptoms and their story an infectious disease doctor hears the story and decides whether it sounds like it's the virus the paramedics then go to the patient's house or apartment and swab the patient right there and they stay in quarantine until the results come back so that that's that's done a lot to help contain the infection and I think Israelis are doing a good a good job with social distancing except for some areas that of course we all know about which are lagging behind yeah hopefully improving try to Shem so as the as a president not as the cardiologist who does many sabbaticals but as the president what's your what's your role I sure I said what do you do there well as at the United States my role is a I'm a spokesperson I do what I'm doing right now I sometimes go to synagogues and address them and talk about Shaarei Tzedek the I attend board meetings I'm involved with running running the the charitable collection organization of course we have a fantastic full-time professional staff headed by Rachel Wulff our CEO but I you know I give my input and then then there's what I do in Israel which is you know doing cardiology at the hospital when I'm there I'm always getting tours of new departments so that when I come back to the US like and speak with first-hand experience about what goes on there you know I visited their neonatal ICU and toured around there so I have a good understanding of what a fantastic program they have in that department and what one has been the financial impact of the coronavirus on choice Eric well first of all Shaarei Tzedek is is not supported by the government to the extent that most other hospitals are because it's officially a a charitable organization and a private hospital so oh lord Shaarei Tzedek has gotten much less funding from the government it's not funded by the state it's not funded by Municipality some of the other hospitals are also quite cool in health maintenance organizations so Sharon senic has always had to raise its own its own income a lot of the income from chareth hr8 said it comes from their outpatient clinics which actually cost a lot more for patients and for huland than other clinics but everybody's will it wants to go there because they're specialists are so outstanding so what's happened with the viral epidemic is the outpatient clinics have shut down and that's almost 50% of the hospital's revenue well which is a big hit to the hospital now what we're anticipating unfortunately is a surge in the virus in the next month and a half right now the hospital has 50 ventilators on site that are usable the Ministry of Health came this week and met with the executives of the hospital the top doctors and told them that the projection is that they may need a few hundred ventilators after the peak of the surge in May because on these patients when they have respiratory failure stay on a ventilator for ten days two weeks and even longer so we're going to be accumulating patients on ventilators as you as everyone's read a ventilator cost fifty thousand dollars and that that's a lot of money the the state is going to help us with the ventilators but we need all the other equipment to build a new ICU to take care of these patients and what we want to do to protect our staff is we want to put in a lot of remote monitoring equipment TV cameras microphones so that the staff is protected from the virus while they're taking care of the patients and all of this is going to require a lot of funding we've gotten a lot of donations from within Israel but we need donations from the u.s. to I know this is a terrible time to be asking people for donations because people's only income is threatened by this virus there are people who still have some disposable income and I'm hoping we can get some donations I have the addresses behind me it's a csz dot org slash Verona that's American committee for Shaarei Tzedek dot work / corona and we'd appreciate any help we can get doctor I was gonna ask where we can find you then you're right that that is the address of a CSV or excel at Corona doctor thank you for sharing these stories and thanks for sharing your time my pleasure you are on oh you live my name is rabbi david Pardo I did want to let you know about a couple events that are coming up with the oh you there's an event called spirit for retirees you can find out more we that org slash community and there is a another or another event being put out this week by the Women's Initiative for families and let me how to cope find out more at ob.org slash women slash Koch did want to let you know a better most high teen campaign and then any any sponsorship of the show will go straight towards helping families in need I wanted to give a big shout out to our next guest one le Leibovitz Ellie Leibovitz is many things to many people for most of all he's a comedian Elia there I'm here he's not just a comedian his comedian who is living through coronavirus and I don't mean the way I am so my huh my angle your angle I'm a comedian living through coronavirus I I would put that on a card oh yeah Hatcher am a go it went okay I think you should clarify that rather than I'm like because we're all moving through this whole situation but I think I actually had symptoms like as a a week which not to scare anyone cuz thank God I'm doing okay I mean you'll hear me cop a couple times maybe hopefully only a couple times during during this conversation but thank God you know considering how I'm doing okay I'm doing some virtual shows but I don't have any taste or smell I told my wife I said what yeah I said hey you know I don't think I have any smell she says I know you have to take a shower and that's that's how it's gone I was thinking it was gonna be like you never had any taste that way please oh nice that's even more even more cynical maybe yeah maybe I'm just projecting my my own life that I lived through I'm like in the earpiece the Secret Service situation you know thank you thank you I've been using one that's on Bluetooth in it it just scares me anything that I have to rely on another thing falling apart but yeah also I'm living out my childhood dream of pretending to be a security individual like yeah yeah so nothing nothing like following a very serious doctor situation and then have a comedian right the it was a tasteless pairing if you will so uh so tell me you went you went public last week about having coronavirus Y posted it on Twitter you folks know I say Twitter's pretty public what's with it and you asked you asked for people to I mean I thought this was very nice one sadistic these stigmatize I think it's pretty wild I mean you know I hate and not in the shoes but when people get it and they won't tell people so good of you to let people know what was the weirdest question anyone asked you when you solicited questions I said what's your favorite baseball movie it's like that seems unreal like there's like how do you most people are like how do you know and again I haven't gotten tested it's very difficult I think to get tested and also I I have I had most of the symptoms or last week I had a fever I had chills and I and then I woke I got on Tuesday I lost my sense of smell and taste which would have really scared me if I didn't realize here that was one of the symptoms like I think that like any a basketball player that uh leaked all the microphones lost his sense of taste so I guess that's me - can I get meat up for doing that but I and then I have a cough and I had like some body aches so other than that I thought those were pretty much all this most of the symptoms and I just figured that there's a lot of fear going on with this whole situation everybody's very scared rightfully so I just figured if people could hear from someone who has it and is doing I'm doing relatively okay you know I feel a little bit weaker and a little more lethargic but I can have a conversation mess I've been coughing a lot but other than that I'm I'm doing okay I hope your social distancing as well really yeah I haven't left anywhere and the lack of shower no I haven't gone anywhere in more than a week so all that stir craziness that cabin fever it's gonna be a very interesting Pesach that's all I'm saying everybody's everybody but like honestly I know better be bored and going out of our our minds a little bit and with like you know stress then to be on health so you're still doing shows right I'm still yeah I'm still really shows virtually which is a whole challenge in itself like doing zoom comedy because you can't have too many people unmuted or else the audio messes up and you can't sometimes people will mute everybody and then you really aren't talking yourself for like half an hour but I really feel like people is that hard because you don't get the laughs ready because you'd like to interact mostly the laughs that I I mean I don't do to a crazy amount of crowd work normally but I normally you want to you need that like hey here's a joke laughs here's a joke laughter so people are muted you're just like all right I guess this is good this is bad I don't know I mean it's a little more freeing you can kind of try things and just be like all right like this works like I've been doing a lot of school shows for like staff at schools and I could tell they really need it I mean everybody really needs comedy right now because I think in our new society laughter and toilet paper are gonna be the new forms of currency so it's but I could tell teachers really really really need it and whatever but like it's it tonight I just did a show for a school in Florida and they they were really appreciative they're really nice crowd and it's a good chance to write like new jokes and just like I think everybody needs a little bit of a distraction so I'm not talking about this thing itself I'm talking about you know how our new challenging everything everybody's on zoom' like you know who knew we should have invested in zoom this whole time and it's you know it's pretty incredible with that teachers and a lot of schools that really stepped up and just been like hey this whole thing that you do in person you're just gonna do that online now which is kind of incredible it's incredible that they think that it's that easy to to transfer well it's not just that it's that especially teachers I had growing up would not have been able to figure out so they couldn't even figure out the video card with the link of TV on it you know where you're like oh there's gonna be a video to watch great it's only a 45-minute video so the fact that the fact that teachers are like all teachers are just like alright you're teaching your classes on zoomy and I wonder if like the challenges gotta be hard because kids still probably like have the same lies where they're just like I have to go to the bathroom you're like I see you playing xbox right now and finally I know you're so it's got I'm actually watching both sides of this because we my kids are in school unzoom and my wife teaches unzoom [Music] yeah it's I'll tell you the the the happiest thing for her is the ability to mute the entire class in one fell swoop just one button right life Yeah right so I don't know if anyone's gonna really want to go back to real class real teaching when you have this these sorts of magical powers sure no I I definitely I mean I why I wonder if like because there's got to be kids who it's gonna be very challenging for kids to like learn anything and I wonder I mean this potentially may go on for months which is gonna be very hard but also I wonder if there are some kids who are just gonna like have some gaps in knowledge where they don't really are they're just like one subject is just not covered in their in their lives and then they're gonna like go through life and then one day they're gonna get their job and you know they're be in a meeting and somebody will be like to them so yeah for just like a fraction of the cost we can get these supplies and the guys gonna be like what's a fraction and that was a joke Rona Corona I hit that Corona yeah exactly well you could just like a be like oh I'm sorry I it's like for me like you know I missed like part of my junior year so I have no idea what happened after the Civil War and before World War one I'm just American history I just like that gap of knowledge I'm just like reconstruction I don't know you could write you could go to youtube and do crash course world history but no no I'm just gonna remain this way right jeopardy they're gonna ask me you know 90s baseball and like Old Testament and not what happened in the 1890s what hopes you know The Simpsons where they they move and they're there in like this new school and they ask Bart like oh you're in the fourth grade and they're just going through the things that he doesn't know and they're like party do you know cursive and he says I know of cursive and you're not gonna and I thought you're good we're not gonna publicly uh this is a Kids program Emily I was family-friendly which which we have which I watched as a kid and really help to find my sense of humor by way parenting also is just there I said the biggest foresight the rabbis had was knowing that we would need four cups of wine that first say the fragment pace uh started and that was before this year but like I feel like parenting is just really difficult with you know I have a toddler of a two-year-old and he's just you know before I feel like parenting a toddler was just like you know you like you have a few minutes to yourself on the couch you're like on your phone and then I'll send you hear a weird noise and you just like turn and you're like careful and you go back to your phone and it's got to be put with what it's like now right so Ellie you yeah you're a Jewish guy and you're funny and you but unlike most Jewish guys who are funny you then decided to connect the dots and take the next step and actually the comedy on a professional level yeah how'd you make that jump um when I went to y-you some friends of mine were starting they did a comedy contest like a like a almost like a talent show comedy contest I was a fundraiser for camp asked and they were like anybody that wants to be involved do it ten people the first time the first time I did it it was terrible didn't go very well the second year they added I want it and the third year I had it I should have wanted but I won the popular vote so uh it was that's that's really how I started doing which was a joke even making sense then but only started making sense in 2016 yes yes well I used to also say about I said when you know there's six questions you could ask when you go up to show my him and one of them is were you participating mushiya coming and I was gonna say yeah I was a Cubs man and that joke isn't funny anymore since 2016 so yeah things have died I yeah I started doing it in why you a little bit more and then I started realizing that you know I just start doing these shows called bringer shows where you do like that comedy club you bring like you know ten people or something and you get like a few minutes of stage time and and then I started doing more Jewish oriented shows because I just realized there's so much material about Judaism and it just comes easy to me that's what I think about like I just I I you know I went to Jewish day school my entire life and I sometimes don't know what non-jews like think about like like do non-jews even own a crock pot like why would they I or play board games I mean is now everybody does but before this so yeah I very much like have this you know Jewish mindset and I just think in Jewish terms and sometimes I think that if I I think a lot of my jokes during church one is Ray and I worry that God's gonna get all media can I get me down me and next time I'm on stage he's gonna make me think of someone Esther day and one day one day one damn if you ever have you performed in front of non-jews I have I I mean we say my my bread and butter my wheelhouse is mostly Orthodox Jewish rooms but or Jews in general that have a little bit of a background but I've done like corporate shows that holiday parties which are interesting those are always tough anyway like any comedian will tell you that doing corporate shows are really tough because like I performed at an event for like a CEO a company and like ten employees at his house and it was like they ma it was like the closest to like a jester perform before the King and people are like how did it go as I almost got beheaded it's I I do I do some crowd shows I mean I do it like I said when I was in college comedy clubs you can't really get up on stage at a comedy club in New York and be like a sivanna am i right but i just right at this point I've just really developed an act for mostly Jewish audiences and that's really unlike my strengths because Judy Orthodox Judaism is so much a part of your life but your your our lives that like you know wake up all right right shoe on left shoe a shoe right you know tie your left shoe Rach it's just like every single aspect you're like you always have to be focused at what time it is like did I dive in did I bench did I say Brava isn't Shabbos is the holiday as as a kid like every single thing you always have to like be aware of time and it's just if you're Orthodox you and you're just like a lot of it is so much a part of your life like you can't just like think normally like because you're just like is this kosher is this whatever so every every aspect has to be thinking about Judaism I think yeah so the buyer why aren't you Sonny Jews were all over vaudeville Jews were all over radio Jews were all over Hollywood like completely outclassed or represented as comedians with the deal I mean I think most people tell you it's probably a coping mechanism that the world has been really hard for juice if you've read books or know things or seen any Mel Brooks movie it's just I went through three quarters of high school so even the part that I missed was nobody I think the world has been very tough in general for Jews and it's just one of those things that Jews don't have a have a like a defeatist attitude to give up so we have to persevere but the only way to really persevere is to like things are so if things are so bad there's a way we react to it you can say like oh this is never gonna get better nothing's gonna ever happen any better or you could say okay this is what's the situation in this I'm gonna make a joke about it and try to cope in that way I think it's it's a hope it's a hope mentality a little bit that that even when things are rough that like they could get better and I actually think being a Cubs fan I would say used to be like I would say it's very someone being Jewish because you're just like the hope that even when things aren't great now one day they'll get better and you know the Cubs slogan is you be wait till next year which is literally like like Shawn above your shrine but so I think that it's like it's a coping idea in addition to Jews it's also an intelligent thing I think I think when it comes I think it's you know Jews there were people of the book which is a lot more expression that we're known as rather than people that have classes but we're people the book and we're intelligent and I think it's a very quick I do a lot of Jewish humor Rosie's very clever and that's just one of the many ways that we have to kind of get through tough times and that and that's also why I think what's I've been doing a lot of these virtual shows because I think a lot of people are just and stressed out anxious nervous and that's just about pace on even about the situation and and they need some sort of you know thing to deflate balloon of tension that they have and humor is a really great way to do that are you going interesting places that you haven't been before in this new virtual era oh I'm staying in my house but and am I in terms of yeah well what's what's interesting like I said it's a little bit more free because I'm trying things there's normally if I tried a joke and it doesn't get a laugh I'm like alright that jokes not good or whatever but since I can't really necessarily tell fully if this is getting a laugh or I'm in a separate room in people and it's just going I'm sorry just gonna yeah I'm trying a lot more things and it's a lot more freeing to to experiment and say alright let me try this joke that I didn't really you know I I told the joke that I didn't I was like the other night that was not for a certain crowd that would never really work I'm gonna say it now and we'll see but people may hate this or whatever but I said you know the idea of Roby mayor Bala nice is this idea that you know a mayor who like we would dive in that we hope you lose a lost object that you you hope that he finds a lost that in his merit you find the lost object but I wonder I always think like maybe every mayor was just great at finding other people's lost objects and you just like a little bit of a hoarder and like he came home and he's like honey guess what I've been and there's like if it's five more single socks I'm out of here like and I have no idea if that's listenership is gonna hate that joke but I can't hear anybody laughing anyways so if you hate it I put myself um you just to just test you thank you I resolved I wanted to see if you were ready to take this job all the way yeah thank you wasn't but what what Joe could be most regretted telling oh boy right here right now what's what joke am I most regretted telling I don't know I I mean I wants to regret telling but there's some times when like you asked like if I'm going to different areas and and I think there are times when I'm like pushing the envelope I'm making jokes about the corona virus a little bit you know I'm mentioning it and I'm worried a little bit I'm gonna scare people or like offend people a little bit I say a lot of times when you perform for Jewish institutions they always ask you to do you know stuff completely like hey you know we can't really pay you but can you know they try to really like ask anyway they can do they can and you know it's you gotta be careful let's stay in age because they say things like you know it would be great exposure for you and I'm like bad choice of words you know well your name will
