00:00We know the hard work and sacrifice they go through serving our community and keeping us safe.
00:06Let's honor another First Responder on 99.5 QYK.
00:12All right, Patty's on the phone for First Responder Friday.
00:14She is honoring her boyfriend today.
00:16Good morning, Patty. How are you?
00:18Good morning. Thank you.
00:19Well, listen, let's talk about Brent.
00:21Tell us what he does and is also training to do something else.
00:24So talk to us about this.
00:25Yeah, so he is an EMT for Sunstar Paramedics.
00:30And he is currently about to finish paramedic school in about three weeks from now.
00:36So, yeah, it's pretty exciting.
00:38Now, does he have a paramedic job lined up?
00:41Yes, he does with the same company.
00:43Okay, great. This is awesome.
00:46Now, I found out that you're also in nursing school as well.
00:48So you're a First Responder as well.
00:50Yeah, I guess so.
00:51Yeah, I myself graduate next Saturday.
00:55Oh, my gosh. Give it up for Patty.
00:57That's awesome.
00:58Tell me how you and Brent met.
01:01We actually met at a restaurant, Carrabba's.
01:05He was a server and I was a hostess.
01:08And I wasn't looking for a relationship or anything, but he was persistent and he became my friend.
01:13And then we started going out.
01:15That's great.
01:16And then did you both, when you guys were talking, did you both know you guys wanted to go into the medical field?
01:19No, not at all.
01:22I'm the one who pushed him to go to school.
01:25Oh, wow.
01:26So he finally found that he wanted to be a firefighter eventually.
01:31So to be a firefighter, you have to be a medic as well.
01:35Right.
01:35Yeah, so that's what pushed him.
01:38That's awesome.
01:39So you talked about you knew that he could do this job.
01:43What is it that you saw in him that made you think that?
01:45Well, he's very determined.
01:48He perseveres through everything.
01:50And he's very compassionate towards people and wanting to help them.
01:54Okay.
01:55So I feel like those are the major qualities that I think are going to make him good.
02:00I think he'd probably say the same thing about you, huh?
02:02Yeah.
02:03That's great.
02:04You guys are a power couple when it comes to the medical field.
02:08That's great.
02:09What do you guys like to do when you're not working?
02:11When you guys get a time to, when your schedules line up?
02:14So we literally just like to go to Starbucks and just talk about like everything that we've seen or have done.
02:21Or we also like to quiz each other.
02:24So I'll be like, okay, so why would you give this to a patient?
02:26He'll be like, oh, well, because of this.
02:28And so it's like all these bouncing ideas back and forth.
02:31And we talk about what we do on our days off.
02:34Well, I think it's interesting that you not only have someone to kind of, you know,
02:38after you've seen something, maybe traumatic or whatever,
02:40have someone to bounce off of and someone that understands kind of what you're going through.
02:44But also a built-in study partner for you.
02:46Yeah.
02:47So that's great, Patty.
02:49I love it.
02:49Well, listen, we are thankful to you, Patty.
02:52I'm excited for you.
02:53Your graduation coming up.
02:54That is so cool.
02:55And also we're so thankful for what Brent does.
02:58And we're excited for his future as well as he becomes a paramedic and then eventually a firefighter.
03:03We want to do this.
03:03We want to give you $200 in Visa gift cards from our friends at Crown, Buick, GMC, and DeMesman & Dover Law Firm.
03:11And just something you guys can go back to Carrabba's and say,
03:13Hey, we made it!
03:14Yeah, awesome.
03:15Thank you so much.
03:17Or just enjoy some Starbucks on us.
03:19But we are so thankful for both of you.
03:22All right.
03:23What a cool couple.
