Speaker 3: I'm actually in human resources.

64
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: Okay, because it seemed when I was reading it, I'm like,

65
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: I hope she's a teacher, because kids need to be

66
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: in your class.

67
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: Learn from you.

68
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 3: Oh well, you know, I try to apply it to

69
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: people and make sure that their experience coming into work

70
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: is purposeful and meaningful and they can leave work happy

71
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 3: and better than they were the day before. So you know,

72
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 3: that's the hope and kind of what I do on

73
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: a daily basis. And I just think right now too,

74
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 3: and in our world, it's there's just so much divide,

75
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: and I think it just takes a little bit of

76
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 3: humanity to the you know, come back in and tell

77
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 3: people you know, you're you're seen, you're cared about your

78
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: loved and yeah, and I just think you guys should

79
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: have hurt that and I wanted to do something nice.

80
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: Okay, so heart smile.

81
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: I'm reading the letter. I've read it a couple of times.

82
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: Did you didn't chat to be to this? Did you?

Speaker 1: we can read it.

87
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: I like what you said about it. I like what

88
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: you said about Kyle. A breath of fresh air with

89
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: advice that's caring and thoughtful. Literally, ask myself, what would

90
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: Kyle do when I'm stuck with a parenting issue or

91
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: just struggling to figure out what to do in the moment?

92
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: What would Kyle do? Peyton's your energy pulls listeners right in.

93
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: Even if the on air games don't always go your way.

94
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 2: You're undefeating positive vibes and congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

95
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: That's so nice. You are so nice Auna.

96
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: Oh well, thank you. You guys are nice too. It's

97
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 3: so funny. I mean, all those things are so true.

98
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: I think about when when Peyton, you know, gets an

99
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 3: answer wrong and she's just like so lovable and laughable,

100
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: and I just think that that it just I just

101
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 3: laugh with her when that happens, and it is true.

102
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: Like Kyle, I think sometimes, like when you're giving advice

103
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 3: to listeners on air, and I'm like, what would I say?

104
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: And then I wait, I'm like, wait, I want to

105
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: hear what Kyle said. Oh, it's the same thing. Oh, Kyle'

106
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 3: is better? You know, Sarious.

107
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,080
