did, but we're good. We're good. The equipment was great. Sruly Saftler did an amazing job taking care of us. Um, but this episode is deep. We talk about some really, really strong topics that Rabbi Jacobson excels in discussing all over the world. He really needs no introduction, no? Yeah, no, he really does not. One of the most captivating personalities in Klal Yisrael. It was an incredible conversation. We sat down. The positive energy and just his view on so many different issues that some people might look at negatively, somehow he sees everything with such a positive light. And he just really sheds incredible light on everything. That's Rabbi Jacobson, and you'll get to this episode. But just wanted to give a big shout out besides for our friends at Bridge Credit Solutions and Touro University, we have our friends from Machshavous Yichezkel. If you get to spell that, you get a free like row at the same as Shas, I think, if you know how to spell that. But right over here there's a product of an image, Machshavous Yichezkel, a big talmid chacham, Rabbi Yichezkel Hartman, who actually lives in the Five Towns. And he actually posts every single day halacha on the Meaningful Minute app. He has something called Machshavous Yichezkel. Yeah, big talmid of Rav Moshe Shapiro, and really delves a little bit deeper, a little bit more meaningful perspective on some of the Torah that we might have learned very quickly in Yeshiva. Maybe we didn't unpack the aggadata, it's a story, we're not sure exactly what's going on, and he takes that depth, that pnimius, that meaningful approach to every aspect of the tire including Agata to Gamoras. So you can go ahead and actually search that on any podcast platform or you can
