wrote with Dr. Hayes who is another professor at Washtetaw Baptist. Yeah, we've been for a long time.

Okay, well we're going to get to talk to him in a handful of weeks about a different plan.

Yeah, we're excited about that. We're going to talk Daniel with him. Daniel.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. So I hope he's up for the task because we're not sure we are. So yeah,

it'll be fine. Your book was really central to the study that went into this study that we've
