You’re all amaratzim, including popa and Sam. Of course there’s no issur “to be fleishigs” during the nine days. Otherwise how did all you amaratzim eat meat before shkiah on Thursday, and how do all you amaratzim eat a fleishige shalashudis?
And popa’s the biggest, because he neglected to point out that the Shach says it’s okay if it wasn’t washed thoroughly, mashma that if it wasn’t washed at all, it’s a problem.
(I’m actually the biggest of them all, but I hide it better by looking things up before I post.)
