So the first thing that hits you, should hit you is like wow, typically speaking a shepherd is an am ha'aretz. He his whole life and everything about him is about animals and about this. He compares himself to an animal. He says, "Oh, I'm a stickle better than the sheep. I'm much better." So he remains an am ha'aretz. But at the same time, if you apply yourself and you use it as a opportunity for his voidus, it's just you and the sheep the whole day. So you then become Moshe Rabbeinu, you become Yaakov Avinu, Dovid HaMelech, Rebbe Akiva. The greatest Yidden that ever lived were shepherds. But it says over there Rashi says, "I'm really an am ha'aretz." So it's like it's interesting. You have that depends how you how you do your job. If you take the opportunity to to on the head, yeah. So if in your head you're you're dealing with shits in the whole day, you're doing a radio beyond your phone as you're doing radio things, then you can remain an am ha'aretz. But if you use that time to vagus in the Rebono Shel Olam, and there's no better vagus because there's nobody there. You're not impressing anybody. It's just you you you don't even have to shuckle. It can just be you and the Rebono Shel Olam. That's it. The whole day.
