Ollie has a follow up chat with Rabbi Manis Friedman about his ground breaking interview with him a few weeks prior - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQlfH43G1mg

Rabbi Manis Friedman is a world-renowned author, counselor, lecturer and philosopher who uses ancient wisdom and modern wit to captivate audiences around the world.
