He's like the He's the anti McCubbin. He's a big McCubbin, but he's like anti a lot of the shysters and then fraud McCubbin. Like he he had published the whole safer. This probably is most He's a prolific prolific McCubbin. Tens and tens of and I say this not as a knock. His are a and I say this not as a knock. His are a bit repetitive. If you know his his content, he has I don't know call it 10 with a content of five with a content and it's a lot of it is is, you know, rejiggered in many many different ways on this safer or that safer etc. Not as a knock. It's very good very interesting very great read. His Yasha V'Yasha is is, you know, very colorful.
