religious but there really having an effect on our youth and i think it's insanely important. my household right now there's like ten people. five of them are kids under the age of 13. work at worker watches a wonderful life today because it's my favorite movie of all-time. the message is wonderful. i think that's what's happening. people are gravitating toward the messages because it's time that we need them. >> i could not agree more. i watched it last night with my husband is one of my favorites. i think you're right that sometimes the subtle messages that subtly religions are more impactful especially for young people because of the you could talk to your kids about it it becomes a personal moment as well. that's a great point. keep making those faith-based valves and have a merry christmas celebrating with your son and family. think you for joining us. >> i appreciate it. i didn't get out of my row. i my robust. >> head was wondering if it was a robe or sweater. you tricked me but now your secrets have been revealed. thank you so much.
