00:03here's a story about my little brother
00:07when he was a kid i always knew him from the um sound of the jingle of change in his
00:13pockets
00:15i knew i would never lose him on our countless trips to the museum of natural history because
00:21i could hear him all the way on the other side of the blue whale which was his favorite exhibit
00:30uh jay wouldn't let as much as a penny go by and at the beginning of the day his his
00:39pants would
00:39sag with the weight of all the change in his pockets and then by the end of the day it
00:46would
00:46be gone and i asked finally i asked and i i said jay would you would you buy me with
00:53that money
00:54and he just laughed and he said i'm not buying anything i'm i'm giving the money away
01:01and he was he was he was giving all of his money away he was giving it to
01:07to the guy who didn't have a home would camp out on the street on our corner and he'd give
01:15it to all
01:15the musicians in the subway he would just take handfuls of coins and he would just throw it in
01:22their jar and then um he would always say to them he'd say i don't have any more money but
01:29tomorrow
01:29i'm going to come back and i'm going to give you more
01:34that's who my brother was he was a giver he gave his coins he gave his word
01:42he gave his time he gave his advice he gave himself he gave when he was needed and he gave
01:52when he wasn't
02:00finally in the end he gave his life
02:07my brother's generosity was just a sliver of who he was
02:12he was so many beautiful things
02:16he touched so many people's lives
02:23conferred each with a story
02:29i gave you my story maybe you can give me yours
02:33so if i just come up to you and i just beg
02:39if i just beg a moment of your time
02:43if you could just tell me story about my brother
02:48if you don't mind
02:54he was a man of actions not words
02:59maybe there's something that we could do
03:01we could just
03:02give
03:06anything to anyone in need
03:09and i think that's the way that you would keep my brother's soul
