We'll be back tomorrow. I'm asking, well, did you play anything in band, Katie?

I wasn't in band, but I've played several instruments growing up, yeah.

Michael, do you ever do band in school?

No.

I was just wondering last night as I was watching the Christmas concert, my son is a tuba player.

And he's not really into it.

And a lot of the kids don't look like they're that into it.

And a lot of them have no talent for it. What do you think the benefit is of having kids be in band? I was in band and I liked it. And I play a musical instrument every single day. It's rare if I have a day. I mean, today, as a 60-year-old, I play something almost every single day. I love it.

But what do you think the advantage is what's in it for kids who are like, you know, they don't really have a talent for it and they're not really into it, but they do it anyway. I think there's an advantage. Science is rock solid that it's great for your brain. Helps you with your math skills. Really? just it's it gets all sorts of different parts of your brain working together in a way that's really healthy.

Okay.

That's a good one.

I'll use that on my kid.

Anything else?
