You can see like there's not much stuff lying around. Just going to like put things away. I was I took a different approach to Zach. I heard him say, you know, on the way back, you just got to like stuff it in. For me, dirty laundry, yes. But anything clean or any like things, anything else you need to put away nicely. And I'm excited. We're going to go home to our wives and our kids. The most special people in the world who deserve our attention. We're going to go to them for a little bit. Then we're [snorts] going on another trip for a few days, 4 days. And then excited to have some time with the family in the way. It was a good chabas. Checked everything off the list. Got to the coastal the western wall. We saw one of my rabbis from Yeshiva. So so special. We even eat there for dinner. He was very generous. He opened up his home and >> he got sent. One of our rebies was uh was on break for the Shabas, but we uh a little birdie told us where he was and we had to send a little message his way that we're thinking of him and that was nice. >> Yes.

Thank you. Okay, I'm doomed scrolling. It's nothing good. Nothing. >> You were looking for pictures. >> I was looking for pictures, but there's no service. So, I just turned into doom scrolling. Social media works, but no website. They don't know why. Came, we saw, we conquered. And Artist Shell is the most precious land in the world. and so grateful to be able to connect. >> This trip was really special. It's been a while since we've been back here and um just seeing all the different kind for me the most special the special most special part was seeing all the different kinds of people that connected the music people that are like look religious like us and people that are clearly not. And just to know that the thing that we're doing is creating a space and I felt it at the concerts just making a space for people of that um deep down love each other but there's just so much in between that love and so we made a space for everyone to just get together and all different kinds of people despite the differences. So, I thought that was that was the most special, you know. Hopefully, this the music is inspiring people to be better people, to do more good, to do more mitzvot. That's the whole point. >> Shout out to our wives who have been holding it down. And to our kids who it's not easy to not have their aba around. And so, they they earned it as much as we did through all the craziness. Really to all the people that came to the shows. Thank you so much. You guys added, you know, when I walked in the room was just big and empty. and it's a little nerve nerve-wracking to know what's going to be, but you guys came and you showed up and you brought so much energy and beauty to the shows. So, thank you to everyone that came. We're still dreaming. We're still dreaming of something big and we're not letting uh necessarily reality get in the way. And that's the energy I want to bring home with me. just like big dreaming special, you know, like you do something one time and it lasts forever and ever. So hopefully that was like these shows for some people. >> Wow. All right, we just got to the airport and um we're ready to go home to our wives. Thank you all for joining the journey. Uh we'll see you on the other side. >> Feel good everyone. We love you. >> Thank you attit Thank you everyone for coming to the shows. Unbelievable. Bye.
