Well, Parker, Maitha, I have learned so much here. Thank you both so much. Thank you. Thank you. And as a thank you, I'd like to teach you something by playing a game with you all. Can you stick around for a tiny bit longer? Sure. Sure. All right. We'll be right back with a little game I like to call, But Did You Know? Stick around. All right. All right.

We are going to play a little game I like to call, But Did You Know? Here's how it works. I'm going to share a story that's been making headlines this week. And as I give you some background on the story, I'll also ask you trivia related to it. But don't worry. It's all multiple choice. And the first one to blurt out the right answer gets a point. Person with most points wins.
