Another reason that we all should be reading to our grandkids and our kids should be reading to the grandkids too is it supports listening skills. Now you and I both know that, you know, when somebody has to read a book, they have to listen to it to understand it. But you and I both know that listening skills, all the skills we've learned over these generations, listening skills are the best skill that we have. I mean, you need to have great listening skills as you're doing your podcast. You gotta understand and hear what people are saying so you ask the right questions. I have to have great listening skills so that I can make sure that we've got the best content on our site. So listening skills is like the number one thing that you can teach your grandchildren.
