He said that, you know, I I may be I may speak about this pretty often. And he said, you know, he's been rolling his eyes every time I mention that it's not good enough to turn your phone off. You have to remove it from your pocket. He didn't really pay attention to that. And then one time he said, okay, he's going to give it a shot. And he said, the difference between his with the phone not on him and the phone on him off is So he's very appreciative. He's a young man who just recently got married. So I want to wish him. Now I want to tell you about some other good news. There's a yeshiva in Queens called Yeshiva. No Bakar is allowed to bring their phone into the base med. There's also a yeshiva now init.
