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.
00:11It is First Responder Friday and we've got Malachi on the phone this morning.
00:15Good morning, Malachi. How are you?
00:16Pretty good. Can't complain.
00:18All right. Very nice, man.
00:19Well, we get to honor your mom today, which I'm very happy about.
00:22And tell us what your mom does as a First Responder.
00:24So my mother is a paramedic at Sunstar.
00:27She's been a paramedic over there for around, like, 15 years.
00:31Very cool. So what do you think makes your mom great at what she does?
00:35I think it's the fact that she wants to help people.
00:38I feel like her being sympathetic for, like, other people is the reason she's so good at her job.
00:43It's for that exact reason. It's because she can empathize.
00:46She's not there for just the money. She's there to actually help people.
00:49Well, I love that. And have you ever seen her in action?
00:53So I used to wrestle back in, like, high school.
00:56Cool. And somebody, like, knee popped out of place, and she had to help them, like, get that back together.
01:03Oh, geez.
01:04At my wrestling meet. So she's always helping somebody.
01:08Wow. That's pretty cool, man.
01:10And I think it's really awesome that you've reached out to kind of honor your mom today.
01:14If you had to describe your mom kind of to the world, how would you describe her, Malachi?
01:19She was great.
01:20You know, I'm saying I'm calling her the best mom in the world. That's what I'm saying.
01:23There you go. You're a smart man for saying that, too. I'll tell you that.
01:27Well, Malachi, we want to do this for your mom. We want to give you $200 in gift cards here, one from our friends at Crown Buick GMC, the other ones from our friends at Demesman and Dover.
01:37It's a small way to say thank you for your mom's 15 years of service as a paramedic and a first responder to our community, and we appreciate her so much.
01:46Yeah, I really appreciate that.
01:48It is our pleasure, man, and our honor. And if you want to nominate someone for First Responder Friday or Military Monday, it is super easy to do.
