- 3:25Speaker 3: and I think it just takes a little bit of
- 3:27Speaker 3: humanity to the you know, come back in and tell
- 3:31Speaker 3: people you know, you're you're seen, you're cared about your
- 3:33Speaker 3: loved and yeah, and I just think you guys should
- 3:36Speaker 3: have hurt that and I wanted to do something nice.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Okay, so heart smile.
- 3:42Speaker 2: I'm reading the letter. I've read it a couple of times.

- 3:55Speaker 2: you said about Kyle. A breath of fresh air with
- 3:58Speaker 2: advice that's caring and thoughtful. Literally, ask myself, what would
- 4:01Speaker 2: Kyle do when I'm stuck with a parenting issue or
- 4:04Speaker 2: just struggling to figure out what to do in the moment?
- 4:07Speaker 2: What would Kyle do? Peyton's your energy pulls listeners right in.

- 4:25Speaker 3: so funny. I mean, all those things are so true.
- 4:26Speaker 3: I think about when when Peyton, you know, gets an
- 4:29Speaker 3: answer wrong and she's just like so lovable and laughable,
- 4:32Speaker 3: and I just think that that it just I just
- 4:35Speaker 3: laugh with her when that happens, and it is true.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Like Kyle, I think sometimes, like when you're giving advice
- 4:41Speaker 3: to listeners on air, and I'm like, what would I say?
- 4:45Speaker 3: And then I wait, I'm like, wait, I want to
