we are live welcome welcome to the
Thursday night call-in show where we get
together on Thursday nights and you call
in our
show and the premise is that it's
Thursday nights and people call in and I
talk to them real live people like you
and funny enough you would think that
people don't really call in with serious
questions they just call into like
cish but that's not true actually um all
of our callers are like really amazing
and our experience has been really great
with people
sharing um really I guess I would say
vulnerable stuff and honest stuff and
it's been incredible we've been doing it
how many shows have we been doing you
still let me know is this our n9th show
if it's our 10th show we should have
done a little celebration about
it um
oh I gotta mention tonight's show is
dedicated tonight's show is
dedicated tonight's show is dedicated
one second I want to read the dedication
correctly tonight's show is dedicated in
honor of Rabbi label and K shamov kabad
of Traverse City do you guys know where
Traverse City is it's in Michigan
there's um an airport there Traverse
City I think it's maybe Cherry something
what's it called I don't know I flew
into it a couple times um it's a little
little airport and
uh anyways yeah the Shams are there and
they
are creating
a revolution
of Jewish Renaissance in Traverse City
so this they don't even know probably
that this was dedicated for them but one
of their big supporters and friends and
fans dedicated tonight's show in their
honor okay um so some of you are tuning
in for the first time so you're probably
not even wondering what this giant thing
is on my desk but those of you who have
tuned in before you're like I never saw
a giant thing on Rabbi tab's
desk you're right so would you care to
Hazard a guess what this giant thing is
on my desk by the way BTW as the kids
say in uh
texting acronyms uh BTW I did a little
change to the uh you guys don't probably
even know that I'm a little bit
techsavvy I'm a little techsavvy uh I
set up the live streams yeah so I
changed the setting in the live streams
I want to tell you a little bit about it
what I did first of all I changed Ed it
to low latency ultra low actually ultra
low latency which basically means
there's minimal lag time we used to have
like 10 seconds or maybe more lag time
between actual um what I'm saying and by
the time you see it so what would happen
is I would be like hey everyone who
remembers the name of whatever like I
would think of some reference and I
couldn't remember what it was could
somebody Google that and put it in the
chat and then it would see like 20
seconds later someone would respond but
the reason was because there was a lag I
removed the lag I'm going to text test
it out right now you're going to see
um that I removed the lag okay so watch
this um if you know why I have a giant
fruit basket on my desk please write the
name of the Jewish holiday that was
today let's see how quickly it
goes all right now I have to fill in
something else while you're while you're
typing um I have to tell you something
else I changed the setting on the
comments the live chat not the comments
because you could comment later when
after this live is finished it'll go up
as a video anyone can watch the replay
and they could comment but the LI I'm
talking about the live chat I changed
the setting on the live chat that only
members of the channel can post in the
live chat why did I do that because I
figured if I'm going to remove the
latency you know or go ultra low latency
where it's like really live you know
this is happening in
livetime um I don't want any I don't
want any trolls basically I'm just going
to say it I don't want any trolls
posting in the live chat or nudniks or
spammers or bots so you have to be n
Nooks are spammers or
Bots I don't want
them so I set I changed it to you have
to be a a member now to be a member you
have to pay I don't think it's a lot of
I don't remember how much money it is
the lowest level membership there's
zahov and which is gold silver and
copper I think the lowest level
membership was like a couple dollars a
month I don't remember what it is um why
am I doing is this a money grab am I
trying to get money well I don't mind
the money I mean we do need money I mean
it costs money we're reaching 10 million
people a month jfyi um that's another
one BTW
jfyi um we reach 10 million people a
month and and I know everyone thinks I'm
just doing this on a smartphone you know
just one dude by himself but there's a
whole team here and so yeah we we do
need money and uh so yeah if you can
give me a couple bucks it'll be spent on
spreading the message far and wide but
that's not the real reason I did it I
wanted to make sure see I figure that
someone who's just a troll is not going
to go to the trouble of giving me money
signing up and giving me money and for
fun yeah so as you see
um all right I'm looking in the chat so
I think M David is Mishi David he wrote
that it's to bvat okay and there there
is moonlights two Canadian dollars

custom she always gives a donation um

appreciate it we're going to call her
out and we want to um give you your
credit where credit is due thank you so

rate but um

like you know what just give us a shout
out it's okay Rabbi so Cove is my
favorite Kosher grocery store in the
world now it happens to be in five towns

Jersey I would drive to Five Towns just
to go to Cove kve is the best Kosher
grocery store I think I've ever been to
in my life and there's a manager there

love
cumquats um I was once staying at
someone's house in Long Beach California
and they had a kumquat tree in the
backyard and they were like Rabbi have
as many kumquats as you like and I
overindulged in the cumquats and I ate
like I took a whole bag of them like
literally like a whole shopping bag full
of them and I ate like half the shopping
bag on the flight back from
LAX and then the other half of it I gave
I shared with my kids

caller number one youell please put on
the first
caller okay for our first caller tonight
we have jod welcome Jody okay excellent
hello
hello hello hi did you see my fruit
basket oh yes beautiful I got it at Cove
it's my favorite Kosher grocery
store yes what which one of the five
towns is that in I think it's in Inwood
because you have to go go across the
Rockway Turnpike to get to
it oh okay it might be Lawrence though I
don't know I never can tell when I'm
going across those little
boundaries yeah anyways but we could
talk about Co save and the five towns
and fruit baskets all night but you
called in for a reason so let's talk
about what you wanted to talk
about yes thank you I really appreciate
that I'm I'm honored to be a caller on
your show thank
you what I wanted to ask your guidance
about is this I feel
that um God is trying to send me so many
beautiful blessings he already has M and
sometimes I get the feeling that maybe
I'm blocking them due to feelings of
unworthiness and I would like to know
how I can make it easier for God to
bestow the blessings on me that he is
trying to bestow because sometimes I get
the inkling that my own doubts and
feelings of inadequacy or unworthiness
as unfounded as they may be um are
blocking are
creating an obstacle a block like a wall
between me and the blessings he is
trying to bestow on me and my on my life
bring it that he's trying to bring into
my life yes wow wow okay so first of all
for everyone listening uh this is a real
concept this is not just um our callers
feelings like this is a real concept it
speaks about this in
cabala one of the sources for it is
actually teaching from
Le who explains in the name of the BAM
yes he says in the name of the bam that
there's a there's a verse in Psalms inim
it says Hashem hasem is your well you
could translate the word as shade and uh
I think more conventional understanding
of that verse is Hashem is your
protective shade
but can also be a shadow Hashem is your
Shadow what does it mean Hashem is your
shadow that just like your Shadow
perfectly mimics all of your movements
the way that Hashem runs the world is
that he reciprocates he mirrors he
matches so what we project is what we
get back yes so it's a real concept and
specifically when we are happy and joy
ful and full of gratitude then more
cause for happiness and joyousness and
and gratitude comes at us and if God
forbid the opposite we could actually
initiate a vicious cycle which is
difficult to break so what you're
describing is very real yeah now the
here's the thing though and I I don't
want to argue with you but I'm going to
argue with you you sound like you are
grateful well thank you for saying that
and that is an excellent point I really
appreciate that I am very grateful for
what God has given me I just feel that
sometimes I get the feeling there's so
much more and he's just trying to say
Jodie allow the good to come into your
life I'm trying to bring even more good
into your life but if you don't think
you're worthy of receiving it then I
can't bring it into your life M okay so
first of all there is more because God
is infinite so there's always
more um but let's talk about this so you
do have the Gratitude absolutely you
have the Gratitude but the Gratitude is
sort of intermingled with another
feeling which we'll call
self-doubt where you are so appreciative
of your blessings and you see your
blessings and you're counting your
blessings but at the same time you have
this feeling
of you're you call it unworthy with that
that you're not worthy of the blessings
and you're worried that because you're
not feeling worthy of the blessings that
could be an impediment to receiving more
of the blessings um I hear that okay
that is exactly correct okay okay I'm
glad that I understood it but you made
it really easy to understand because
you're extremely articulate so let me
suggest something to you I'm going to
sidestep the whole thing I'm not going
to going to even deal with the
unworthiness because we could talk about
self-esteem and I could try to boost
your self-esteem but I think we could
just sidestep it we don't even need to
go there and I can give you a hack are
you interested in a little hack that
might work
here yes very much okay okay great
so in order to explain this to you I'm
gonna have to back up
and I'll talk in general about
prayer what's the deal with prayer isn't
it selfish to give God a shopping list
like give me this and this and this and
this and this and this and this like if
we're really God conscious people we
should just show up and say God thank
you for everything and uh I put myself
in your hands and do whatever it is that
you want to do and yet we are told to
pray yeah I know and and yet we are told
to pray and we're according to to many
opinions it's actually one of the 63
Commandments is to express our needs to
turn to God and ask for our needs so how
do we reconcile that is it selfish to
pray and to ask God for our needs or um
or is it proper so the answer is like
this it
depends why you're asking it depends why
you're
asking
there's you know I don't think a lot of
people realize that one of the models
like archetypes for prayer in Judaism is
Hannah Hannah the mother of schm or
Samuel she was a
propheus and a very holy
woman and in the book of Samuel
describes when she was Barren and she
went to the sanctuary in we call it
Shilo or the engz version is Shiloh but
Shiloh reminds me of a Civil War battle
so shil mishan shil she went to the
sanctuary in Shilo and she was praying
for a child because she was Barren she
was praying for a child and this is
before she conceived scho the prophet
Samuel so the K God the high priest his
name was ay and he comes
in
and he saw her praying and it says that
her lips were moving but she didn't make
a sound now if you've ever seen Jewish
people praying especially um the what we
call amida which means standing because
it's the stand standing prayer it's a
central prayer where you stand um you'll
notice that we move our mouths but we
don't make a sound silent prayer and
that's because we are imitating how KH
or Hannah
prayed um so yeah so ay the K the high
priest he's the one who runs the the
sanctuary he comes in he sees her
praying moving her mouth not making a
sound and she's sort of like murmuring
to herself like that's what it looks
like like cuz we started praying this
way after her so before that it wasn't
like a known thing so he didn't know
what she was doing he thought she was
like maybe like talking to herself so he
asked her are you
drunk and she says no I'm not drunk I'm
a brokenhearted woman and I'm praying
for a
child now I'm going to just cut to the
chase here but if you learn the laws of
the Holy Temple you will know that if
somebody is drunk
they are not asked if they're drunk
they're immediately
removed so he didn't really mean are you
drunk like intoxicated with
alcohol he meant are you being indulgent
are you spiritually
drunk you're in the holiest place in the
world the the mishkon was the sanctuary
that's where the holy of holies was
where God's presence was was revealed in
this world you're in the holiest place
in the world and you're you're praying
about what you need like is that
appropriate so it's drunk It's
spiritually drunk It's indulgent it's
self-absorbed so she says to
him let me tell you something I'm
praying for a child and he's like yeah
that's that's exactly what I'm saying
you're you're coming to God with your
needs she says but no listen the rest of
the conversation she says to him I want
this child to give the child to
Hashem and when as soon as he is able
I'm going to bring him here and he will
serve God here in this house which is
exactly what happened she raised him
until he was yeah until he was
self-sufficient and she brought him to
the sanctuary and he he lived there he
lived there Samuel lived there he he was
raised there and so basically what was
she saying to him she was saying yes I'm
asking for a child you think I'm asking
for a child for me it's not for me it's
for God I want to give this to God
that's my gift if God gives me this
child then I have the ability to
dedicate that child back to
God so when we im a pure pure
motivation um yes completely not a
selfish motivation
correct real
altruism where our
only concern is to be
givers
so it's interesting if you ask God
make me Rich why because I want to be
rich you know it's a little bit
self-indulgent but if you say God give
me the opportunity to give you my wealth
to dedicate wealth to charitable causes
ah so then I'm asking to be a
giver I see that's extremely insightful
and helpful let's go back to your issue
and maybe even you could Intuit why say
this will be a hack cuz your problem is
you're not sure if you're worthy of more
blessings so how does this clear that up
and avoid the whole
issue because that's kind of not
relevant necessarily it seems yeah you
got it because this is for yeah no say
it to everyone else because everyone
else is listening they want to
understand
it thank you because whether or not I am
worthy is not relevant to well he
believes we are all worthy the prayer
must be for the higher good for to get
order hold on repeat that phrase hold on
that was a great phrase say could you
say that again I I want everyone to hear
that just the prayer must be for
what the higher good I love it I love it
okay sorry to interrupt you keep going
you're doing great thank you thank you
so whether or not I'm worthy it's like a
little is
not relevant in the in God's eyes
because God is saying if I say a prayer
if one says a prayer for the higher good
something that I will be able to gift
back to God yeah then that prayer will
be answered whether or not I may see
myself as worthy you got it you nailed
it
yeah can I tell you what my my favorite
Parables yes
okay this
Parable is about a guy it's not a real
guy it's just a parable he's a parable
guy and he's driving in the car one
night what was his name whatever you
want it to be okay he was driving in a
car one night and he was hating life he
was miserable and he wasn't a big
believer but he was so miserable with
with his life he actually murmured a
prayer and he said God I hate my life
give me a new life and in the middle of
the car he wow yeah yeah yeah well it's
just a parable don't get too excited and
in the middle okay in the middle of the
car God starts speaking to him you
remember like John Denver you remember
that oh yes see I really appreciate the
callers to this show a lot of times I
I'll drop a reference like that people
won't know what I'm talking about
remember when John Denver was in the car
and George Burns started talking to him
yes I love it okay fine so and people
don't know what I'm talking about you
just go Google John D driving in the car
George Burn talk then you'll understand
what I'm talking about okay so anyways
this guy's in the car and he's oh God I
hate my life give me a new life and what
do you know God answers him in the
middle of the car and he says to him a
new life a new life yeah sure you're in
luck today I have a new life for a very
reasonable price the guy said says what
yeah how much is that and God says well
how much you got the guy's like H I got
about 20 bucks on me God says Okay um
give me the 20 bucks the price of of
your new life is 20 bucks the guy's
driving remember he's like he looks at
the gas tank and he's like but I'm
running out of gas I need to put more
fuel in the tank and if I give you my 20
bucks that's all I have I won't be able
to get more gas God says oh you have a
you have a
car price for or your new life just went
up it's 20 bucks in your
car the guy says hold on a second if I
give him my car how am I going to get to
work in the morning God says oh you're
gainfully employed yeah so the price for
your new life has gone up again it's 20
bucks your car and your
job the guy
says guy says if I give you my job how
am I going to pay the
mortgage mortgage oh you're a homeowner
yeah seems that the price for your new
life has gone up again once more the
price for your new life is 20 bucks your
car your job and your
house the guy says God if I give you my
house where are my wife and children
gonna
live God says oh
dear price of your new life has gone up
again it is $20 your car your job your
house your wife and your kids at this
point the guy realizes he better shut up
because every time he makes a comment
it's getting
worse so now he's not speaking wow he
says mhm
mhm so God says to him all right now you
have any comments you want to say
anything
okay now before I give you your new life
I'm G to give you your brand new life um
I need you to do a few things for me um
is that okay the guy
says Okay God says first thing I want
you to do God says you see this
$20 it's not your $20 God says it's my
$20 was your $20 now it's mine um I want
you to spend it for me but it's my $20
God says so you're going to spend it but
because it's mine you can only buy
things I
want and God says you see this car it's
not your car it's my car now I want you
to drive it but because it's my car you
have to drive it to places where I would
want to go God says see this job it's
not your job it's my job but I want you
to show up there every day and do
business the way that I want business
conducted you see this house God says
it's not your house it's my house but I
want you to live in it but I want you to
live in it the way a house of God is
lived in with open doors and
hospitality and see this wife and
children this family God says they're
not your wife and children they're my
wife and children and I want you to
treat them as
such can you do all of this for me guy
says
mhm God says great then here's your 20
bucks here's your C car here's your job
here's your house here's your wife and
kids and here's your new
life the difference between the old life
and the new
life was
simply
ownership to whom does it
belong in his old life which he which he
detested it was all his in his new life
he doesn't own a thing it all belongs to
God
but he is assigned with the Holy task of
making use of
it and that's all of us wow that's all
of us all the blessings that you have
and I know that you're blessed and that
you feel
blessed those aren't for you to use
those are for you to to give
away you know I I got my fruit basket
here and I'm thinking about fruits you
know think about fruits like a red
tamarillo um and if you don't know what
a red tamarillo looks like just let me
have fun here you know just look this is
how they look when they grow on the tree
look at that okay I don't know if you're
still watching but okay so the red
tamarillo gorgeous little fruit but I
want to tell you something a red
tamarillo tree doesn't eat red
tamarillos no it
doesn't an apple tree doesn't eat
apples a plum tree doesn't eat plums an
orange tree doesn't eat
oranges the tree grows the fruit for
others to
consume so your blessings are not for
you your blessings were given to you as
a stewardship that you are being
entrusted by God to make good use of
those
blessings oh I love that perspective and
if you are of service then I want to
tell you something there's no limit to
the amount of goodies that you can run
to the back and you know go to the
kitchen and grab as many platters as you
want because you're coming out to serve
God's
kids that's a that's a a perspective of
abundance There's No
Limit
right I appreciate this so much because
it's really changed my perspective
especially on prayer and and I really
appreciate that because I'm going to
have this in the Forefront of my mind
from now on when I pray that is so cool
that's great and thank you thank you
thank you this was this was a wonderful
discussion really appreciate it amazing
amazing for me too I'm honored to be
here thank you Rabbi thank you so much
our pleasure our pleasure thank you for
that call that was
amazing um we're going to go on to our
next caller our next caller is sholy
welcome okay
hello Hi how are you thank God I'm doing
good I have a question
yes good I have a question I'm asking on
behalf of my wife who is uh recovering
from an eating disorder okay and there's
two parts one
is she's been going to a lot of therapy
and she wants to know when is uh there
too much therapy
when is therapy too much and the second
one is just in general how to connect
more to one's
body
okay so the question of like when is
therapy too much or too much of it or uh
you know when are you doing it too
much it's a really hard question to
answer um especially not knowing all the
details but even if I knew the details
I'm not sure if feel qualified to make a
judgment call like that but what I can
say is this
um I don't know if it's really a
question of quantity like too much too
little as much as it is a question of
quality getting the right kind so when
you have the right kind of therapy
that's really supporting you and giving
you Clarity
then you
know even a little bit of it can be
extremely effective and and
um when you need more of it even even a
lot isn't isn't too
much but if it's not really the right
thing and then you just try to make up
for a lack of quality by overdoing the
quantity sometimes that becomes a unique
type of burnout therapeutic burnout I've
seen that many many times where someone
who's already emotionally Ted because
they're dealing with whatever it is
they're dealing with and now they're
engaged in a lot of therapy that is not
really hitting the spot and that becomes
like a secondary source of burnout so my
my real response to that would be like I
can't say there's too much or too little
what I can say is there's the right kind
and if she finds something that's really
connecting with her and she feels like
it makes sense to her and she feels like
aligned with it where it feels
it just feels right I don't know how to
explain other than it feels right
meaning you feel that
it's nourishing you like if you eat a
meal and you you finish eating and
you're still hungry so it's like a
therapy where you do it it's like the
end you still feel emotionally empty
yeah so that that would be my answer is
just to find the right thing there's so
many different modalities and so many
different approaches and you know it's
really unique to each person right and
you just got to keep right trying
different things to you find the thing
that connects part of it is
that part of it is that the the therapy
that she's been going through hasn't
really aligned with her values well
that's going to be an issue that's been
if if you're in conflict with the
therapy and from a
values uh perspective that's going to be
like
yeah it's I don't want to call it a deal
breaker because I don't want to tell
somebody to drop therapy until they have
an idea of what else they would do but
yeah definitely it's yeah essential that
it be aligned with with your
values yeah yeah yeah yeah that's okay
makes sense thank now your other
question is about what feeling more
present in your body in general yeah how
to connect to the body more yeah how to
connect to the body more so what's
interesting to me is you know that
question I would just guess taking
educated guess that that question itself
comes from some type of therapeutic
experience I mean that's probably
something somebody heard in
therapy right right okay so I'm correct
about that
um this is a really great concept
connecting with the body why did I think
it came from therapy just because that
language because the wording used is
more like wording that you would hear in
therapy but the reality is the
concept comes from Torah and more
specifically comes from comes from the
teachings of the BV who taught that in
in in contrast with many of the
spiritualists that came before him who
were Aesthetics who tried to attain
spiritual refinement through negating
their bodies the BM taught that we need
to accept the body to embrace the body
and to uplift it to bring it along in
the spiritual journey and the successors
of the BAL of theic Masters through the
generations
especially I would say the the seventh
in his teachings regarding mhia and what
we call a Dwelling Place forem in the in
the physical world really really
stresses this concept of that Hashem
wants us to be present in the physical
world and for our souls to be fully
aligned with our bodies and that this is
the ultimate expression of infinity that
the ultimate expression of infinity is
specifically in the physical world
because it is a finite realm time and
space are limited so the ultimate
expression of infinity is when the
unlimited can be present in the limited
and I know that's very philosophical
talk but I just wanted to make a point
that being present in your body may be
something that somebody heard in therapy
but the concept is much older than that
and it's a it's a holy concept so the
biggest way to be present in your body
and connected with your body is to use
your body the way that it was designed
to be used which is something called a
Mitzvah Mitzvah directly translates to
commandment but we know that it's much
more than a commandment it is an action
Mitzvah aren't ideas they're not
abstraction
they are
actions and by doing Mitzvah with our
bodies we align the soul with the body
and we fulfill the purpose for which we
came to our bodies so like
literally getting up and moving your
body to do the will of God is the most
grounding thing that you can do for
yourself
um I I I I was talking to some people
the other night I have this new thing
called uh Soul Survivors actually youell
could you put maybe in the chat the link
for Soul Survivors this this new group I
have monthly thing called Soul Survivors
s o l survivors uh for like highly
sensitive people and stuff and we're
talking about one of the things we can
do to feel more uh connected to the body
I said um that when you give
charity that it's good to do it as a
repeated action to do it at least on a
daily basis and um okay like hold on a
second let me just grab this
here so I have on my wall you can't see
it because it's out of the camera shot
but I have on my wall the
um this pushka this uh charity box it's
actually on my wall to turn the whole
room into a charity Box by extension and
like literally the physical act of
reaching in your pocket pulling out the
money and putting it in
is is therapeutic it's healing it's
sematic healing so um that's why like
before we pray we give charity and
before we study Torah we give charity
and before uh you start to cook you give
charity and before you um start a
business deal you give charity because
using your physical body in that way is
so grounding and it's not just that you
physically take your hand and take the
money and put it in the Box but also
what the money represents that's money
that you earned with physical exertion
and then the money itself could have
been spent on resources for your body
and then you take that and you convert
it into a Mitzvah into something holy
and it refines the physicality in a very
powerful way so yeah Mitzvah all types
of Mitzvah things that you do with your
body but especially charity and
especially especially acts of goodness
and kindness get up go visit the sick um
you know make a meal for a woman who
just gave birth and deliver it
um unfortunately it happens but you know
when it does happen to comfort mourners
you know I I lost my father a couple of
months ago and I was sitting shiva I was
in the seven days of morning and the
fact that people physically showed up
yeah and but you want to know something
it was very comforting how many people
showed up they came to the home and it
was an amazing thing it's like you know
just call just send a text that's how we
all do things nowadays and yet people
physically showed up and and that's what
a Mitzvah is it's physically showing up
I had a friend who told me once and I
and I never forgot it he said you could
fake
caring but you cannot fake showing
up like either you did or you didn't but
I think that's the
problem go on you know that's that's it
there's a there's a lot
of demand
to do things but it's you can do it and
be disassociated from the ACT I think
maybe specifically the question is but
that's okay okay so let me let me
explain to you why that's
okay okay it doesn't have to be so
mindful bring your body bring your body
and bring your body and bring it again
and bring it
again eventually the mind and heart will
be able to show show up for
it the most powerful thing is to
physically show up see if we do the
reverse where we try to get ourselves to
be mentally and emotionally congruent
with the act before we do the ACT we're
often waiting a long time or maybe even
waiting forever it never happens but if
you can just bring the body the body's
so powerful it will draw the mind and
heart after it so it feels like being a
hypocrite you're doing it in a
perfunctory way I don't really want to
be here I'm forcing myself it's okay but
you're doing it you're really doing it
and it has such power and it's so
healing it is so
healing you you want to know something
um so I told you I'm in in my I lost my
father so I'm in the year of morning so
we don't attend festive occasions during
this year so I'm off the hook as far as
going to Weddings But I want to tell you
something um I learned only in the past
few years how important it was for me to
go to weddings it's a Mitzvah actually
is it's a to uh to celebrate with the
bride and groom and I avoided it because
I don't like crowds and I don't like
leaving the house if I don't have to and
I don't like loud noises and there's
always music and it's loud I don't like
social interactions and you go to a
wedding you're gonna have to have a
hundred different social interactions
but I realized that showing up at
people's Simas at their happy occasions
like it means so much and I had to sort
of realize that it's not so important
for me me to be emotionally and
intellectually congruent with this it's
important for me to be physically
congruent by showing up and by showing
up I want to tell you something since I
started doing this just really in the
past few years it changed me I have come
to appreciate it more and I don't think
I would have come to appreciate it if I
hadn't just forced myself to
start okay next one what are some ways
to get out of the mind and and and get
into the body you know just doing
doing something for others because that
really gets you out of your head showing
up for others and it could be your own
children but doing something for someone
else is the best way like when we get
deep into that spiral into that
rumination and we need to just break it
show up and do something for
somebody okay yeah sound good thank you
okay awesome much uh success to you to
your wife thanks for calling
in thank you so much okay y what's up
you have more callers I didn't look on
the Google sheet or doc or whatever it
is do you want to do a a fruit and Shu
yeah okay fine no problem happy to do
some
fruit okay all right so ladies and
gentlemen boys and girls children of all
ages I just want to tell you we're
getting a lot of Canadian money and I
appreciate it so Mo'Nique gave her 199
Canadian now we got from Marsha Beck 279
Canadian and that is very exciting we
love the Canadian money because it's
pretty it's colorful why can't American
money be pretty and colorful why does it
have to be so
Spartan I can't answer that okay so
let's um let's do some
fruit okay let's do some fruit let's do
some
fruit here you go this is called a red
tamarillo a red tamarillo where do red
tamarillos grow you st could you find
out for me where they grow this what
they look like when they grow on the
tree
gorgeous okay where do red tamarillos
grow does anybody know could they write
it in the chat
perhaps all right here we go South
America New Zealand Australia and the
United States I wonder where they're
indigenous to because South America and
New Zealand I doubt I doubt they're
indigenous to both places they probably
started in one place and were brought to
the other can you find out where they're
indigenous to indigenous Ecuador
Colombia Peru Chile Argentina and
Bolivia yeah and then they were brought
to New Zealand can you find out if a
granny smith apple is indigenous to New
Zealand if it was brought there please
I'm betting it was brought there because
I think apples are from
Europe um The Granny Smith is a
Australian native I don't believe it I
don't think I think it was brought to
Australia like the
Australians I don't believe it I don't
believe there's an indigenous Apple to
Australia you're arguing with
Google you want to know about arguing
with Google uh I wanted to see how much
a parking ticket was in
Cedarhurst okay let's just have a little
bit of fun here who wants to have some
fun who wants to have a little bit of
fun a little bit of
fun all right hold on a second I'm gonna
we're gonna have a blast over
here uh yeah
okay you're gonna have we're gonna have
a blast don't doubt me just roll with
it just roll with it one second I got to
do this I got to do what I got to do you
got to do what you got to do
okay and if you got to leave I
understand you could
leave there be no hard
feelings okay one
second uh
yeah okay this gonna be Co it's going to
be
cool okay so I had to pay a Cedar Hurst
parking ticket um and it was like
$75 by the time I paid for it and I was
like man that is rough like how much was
it original I want to know how much it
was originally how much because you know
they raise it um and I was like what was
it originally was it 40 bucks was 50
bucks like because by the time I paid it
it was 75 bucks so I go Googled how much
are Cedar Hurst parking tickets so this
is what I get one
second one second okay so it says in the
village of Cedar Hurst New York a first
offense for violating parking
regulations can result in a fine of at
least
$500 I don't know how they know if it's
your first offense sounds more like a
criminal thing than like a paring ticket
but okay subsequent offenses can result
in higher fines
first offense at least $500 fine for
violating parking regulations second
offense at least $1,000 fine if
committed within 18 months of the first
offense third offense at least $1,500
fine have committed within 18 months of
the first offense other penalties in
addition to a fine a person may also be
imprisoned for up to 15 days for a first
offense we're talking about parking in
Cedarhurst you'll they will put you in
prison and I don't really think they'll
put you in prison for 15 days I think
that's more like a County lockup type
type thing thing you know like 26 in
California you guys from Chicago know 26
in California right most knows 26 in
California okay for a second or
subsequent offense a person may be impr
prisoned for up to 45 days or 90 days
respectively metered regulations are not
in effect on Sundays or major legal
holidays and then at the bottom it says
generative AI is
experimental so I'm going to pray that
the case here is that that was just Ai
aiing and that there is no basis in
reality I hope that they're not giving
people $1,500 fines for parking in Cedar
Hurst or putting them in the county
lockup in the husa
for 15 days you know where the word husa
comes from that's Cowboy slang Cowboys
called jails husa put them in the HCA
you know where it comes from
husa it is um a gringo
pronunciation
ofuscado but they would hear talking
about the Cowboys they dealt with a lot
of Spanish speakers because you know
that part of uh United States was like
well actually used to belong to Mexico a
lot of it so uh they would hear that
term hus scato and they would say oh
husa husa Hout just kind of slur hus
scow put him in the hus
scow okay
so who's ready for
this ready for
this okay oh you so I'll pull it up the
grany Smith cavar originated in Eastwood
New South Wes Australia now a suburb of
Sydney in 1868 its Discoverer Maria an
Smith had immigrated to the district
from Beckley East Sussex in 1839 with
her husband Thomas
okay but here's the deal I still don't
believe all right let's just read the
first because I don't believe that any
apples are indigenous to Australia maybe
that that that what do they call breed
they call a breed species not a species
that what do they call them what do they
call different types of apples
breeds um there's a word for it can
someone find out what the word by the
way what is the worst type of apple red
delicious it is not delicious it's taste
tastes like paper it's awful the first
description of the origin so I don't
believe any apples are indigenous to
Australia but I do believe that maybe
that the First Time The Granny
Smith breed was bread was in
Australia but I don't believe that
apples I believe they had to bring the
apples from Europe to Australia then
they messed around with different types
of apples till they got the Granny Smith
okay at any rate I'm starting to think
that this Maria Anne Smith may be the
aforementioned Granny Smith let's find
out if she was a grandmother or if she
just liked being called granny the first
description of the origin of the Granny
Smith apple was not published until
1924 in that year farmer and settler
which is the name of a magazine
published the account of a local
historian who had interviewed two men
who had known Smith one of those
interviewed recalled that in 1868 he
then 12 years old and his father had
been invited to Smith's Farm to inspect
a chance
seedling that had sprung near a creek
and chance seedling is clickable you
said all can you just click chance
seedling and find out what a chance
seedling
is Smith had dumped there among the
ferns the remains of here we go Smith
had dumped there among the
ferns the remains of French crab apples
that had been grown in Tasmania now
there's of unpacking there because
they'd been grown in Tasmania this is in
Australia but they're not from Tasmania
either are they no they're not they're
from France how do we know they're from
France because they're called French
crab apples like I told you apples are
from Europe so basically these French
crab apples were brought from France to
Tasmania then back to Mainland Australia
specifically New South
Wales and she dumped some um French crab
apples
among the ferns Where the Red Fern Grows
don't cry another story recounted that
Smith had been testing French crab
apples for cooking and throwing the
apple cores out her window as she worked
had found that the new cavar had sprung
up underneath her kitchen okay so I feel
Vindicated because basically what we're
saying here
is that she was messing around with
apples however you want to say she threw
them among the ferns or she was cooking
with apples and she was tossing the
Apple cor out her window and that caused
this uh new
cavar can you also you so can you tell
me what a cultivar is just cultivar is a
variety of apple variety of Apple Mendy
Herz just Ted to me it's they're called
varieties varieties of Apple you know
what my favorite varieties of apples are
I'll tell you no particular order um uh
um I'm
blocking can't remember remember now but
I hate the red delicious and I've I'm
only 50 years old I'm not that old I've
experienced in my lifetime the
degradation of the red delicious they
were better they weren't so bad back in
the 70s they were decent now they
crumble apart in your mouth like sand
they taste like paper you should just do
away with the entire
variety okay um a chance seedling is a
plant that is the product of
unintentional breeding so what do you
know is a little
hus little Divine
Providence that's really cool a chance
seing may be genetically unique
individual be a be a genetically unique
individual with desirable
characteristics that is then
intentionally read so you're like wow
cool let's do this again on purpose the
kindred spirit hybrid Oak and the Granny
Smith Wolf River lady Alice red
delicious a red delicious Graven braburn
s CH cville Blanc de B and Baldwin
apples are all examples of varieties
that started with chant seedlings that
were selected and assigned Cult of our
status owing to their desirable
properties okay
so at any
rate here we go red
tamarillo I'm just going to show you a
picture again of a red tamarillo tree oh
no that was the
that was
the Cedar Hurst thing and they are
really I gotta tell you they are
aggressive that's the one thing just
they are super aggressive about the
parking
tickets like that's why by the way jfyi
just going to co save again myy Herz
that's why I go to Cove because there
parking there and I don't want to
mention other places but
some places you go there and like you
could run in for two minutes and you're
looking at the meter and the meter says
there's one minute left you're like okay
but I'm just going to go in for one
minute and then you run in for two
minutes and you come back out the guy he
watches you like a hawk it's predatory I
do want to say that I feel that it's
predatory I do feel that way I feel that
way
and that those are my feelings I'm
sorry okay anyways this is the red
tamarillo see gorgeous all
right so here we
go here we go
don't eat off the knife like
that not

juice I would drink a
whole cup of tamarillo
juice like for
breakfast I would enjoy that I think I
would enjoy
it let me just
okay little more
tamarillo yeah it's got a weird taste I
don't think I would drink a cup of its
juice actually I'm taking that back and
now I was just thinking to myself what
am I going to do with
this
um like 2/3 of a tamarillo it's all cut
up and I was like you know what after
I'm done with this show I'm going to go
toss it out the door and you know what I
thought of when I thought of imagined
tossing a tamarillo out the door
throwing it into the

making a chant seedling can you imagine

like one day you go to the store and
they're
like they call like a z
tab I am a grandfather by the way I know
I look young
um and you're like what is this 8ab

girls children of all ages
welcome to our show ironically we're
ending now so I don't know why I'm
welcoming you last time we had the show
I think I went on for like three
hours and uh I feel like I may
have set your expectations a little bit
a skew is that a real phrase setting
one's expectations a skew I feel like I
made you think that I could just rant
for three hours and be semi intelligible
and semi- entertaining um I'm not sure
that I'm capable of that and I don't
think that we need to always do three
hours of ranting although we did uh did
get some nice material out of that I
would ask you for requests or for
prompts to get me going but we have a
very limited ability to take comments in
the chat because Monique is writing is
it singing time well if you
insist we could sing a song sure
um and so as as I mentioned I'll do a
song in a minute um but we got with
God's help I mentioned that we limited
the live chat to people who are members
of the channel so um I don't know how
many people are members of the channel
probably like 10 people and like three
of them are here right now so I don't
know how many people are really capable
of
um commenting but yeah that's the deal
okay we're going to sing a little song
we're going to sing a
song um can you please tell us a story

story right story Story Time Ione like
stories is once upon a time there was a
guy who was hanging out under a tree and
he had eaten from the fruits and he had
luxuriated beneath the tree and he was
really enjoyed his little time by the
tree and as he got up from the tree he
says to the tree Elon Elon not Elon
Musk Elon Elon that meanso
tree with what shall I bless you what
what blessing should I give you shall I
bless you that your fruit be sweet your
fruit is already Sweet should I bless
you that your shade be plentiful your
shade is already plentiful should I
bless you that a stream a pleasant
stream runs by underneath you it already
is a pleasant stream runs by underneath
you rather I bless you that all of the
the the trees that grow from your seed
should be just like
you and the rabbi understood that his
friend who was taking leave from him was
telling him I can't bless you with any
qualities that you don't already have
cuz you have it all what do you get what
do you get for the man who has it all
penicillin okay I can't bless you with
any qualities that you don't already
have because you already have all the
great
qualities but I can bless you that all
of your children should have these
qualities as well that's the greatest
blessing and who doesn't want a blessing

blessing for children we don't want a
blessing for ourselves we want our

apple now with travel everything is like
in season all year it feels like so did
you hear me talking about throwing the
red tamarillo out the window and

looking it is the most Bland boring it
tastes like a cucumber wow it's very
cool like green neon like mucus SE seeds
on the inside so it's it's
deceptively interesting visually but
it's boring quite tasteless yeah yeah oh
you missed this one you know this is oh
that was the big one what is that that's
a cacao pod what's it called a cacao pod

Apple I it only has Chinese lettering in
it by the way not all numbers are
Universal like when we put these on tell
everyone about
it 4225 is I know this because I I like
to do talking to the mic uh yeah a lot
of numbers are Universal because they
come from the market like this bananas

numbers on them but uh avocados all have
two or three codes that are pretty much
I don't know Universal but definitely in
the states uh maybe even Canada
this I've never seen this one before in
all my years of working in grocery
business some sort of Apple I don't
think it is an apple or it's like like
the Asian peir is like called a Chinese
Apple so it's like
soft oh it's pulpy yeah I'll show I'll
show the camera oh look at that that
looks
nice that's like a fleshy
pulp I think this one's

fun it look it looks like a type of a
larvae you could trick kids you could
tell them like this is
like like a something like a butterfly
Crystal this is this is this a passion
fruit not passion fruit is this a guava
this is a guava and guavas for some
reason are great as a flavor they're
terrible as a
fruit they're like they're Bland out you
put like a th000 grams of sugar in them
they're great in desserts and
fillings little
guava people looking now these are like
hit or miss they're either like really
tart or they get the sweet and tart ones

heard about it yeah I ate a whole the
the I'm a texture I'm very big texture
person and the idea of the peels puts me
off I love it I love that you don't have
