Thank God, thank God for that.

It's good to see you.

Happy post Easter.

How was your weekend?

Oh, my weekend was incredible, John. I had two nights of Saders and it was very interesting. It was in two different locations, two different hosts, and they both had us the same new Hagata which included the gospel go down

Moses way down in Egypt land, let my people go. But neither one of our hosts wanted to sing the gospel. I thought finally after 40 years of die, I a, die, I,

I get some soul in a passive.

But, uh, in a passive but it was great and then I would go to a gospel say to anytime I'm always like I

well I mean look at all the cultural overlap between between black folks and Jewish people

I mean historically and culturally and I mean it's just all about like overcoming

obstacles with great humor and great music.

It's why all the great comics and all the great musicians

are black and Jewish.

I mean, seriously.

Absolutely, absolutely.

And also very interesting that this has been like a triple threat holiday weekend with the Easter and Ramadan. I saw I saw where some parents actually dressed up as bunny rabbits to pick up their children.
