Welcome to the Jill on Money Show. It's Wednesday, April 1st, and it really is. Mark, are you a fan of April Fool's Day or not?

No, not at all. We are not those kinds of people. I am not the kind of person who's like, ha, ha, I pulled one over on you. I don't get that. I'm not into that at all, in fact. It probably goes right into our curmudgeon category that we don't like Halloween either. Or St. Patrick's Day or New Year's Eve. Yeah, what else? Boy, we're bad. That's not good. Also, tonight is the sundown, the first night of Passover. So that's good. Mark, you're not celebrating. I got to get you guys to a Seder one of these days. We'll be part of Theo's Jewish education. And as his non-god parent, I will still be responsible for teaching him about Judaism. Any days off for Passover for school or not? Yeah, this is, we're talking on Wednesday.

He's off, he's off tomorrow. He's off Friday and he's off all next week. Yeah, baby. Those Jewish

kids helping you out in the New York City school system. You know, you got to love it. All right, Mark,
