  I know that doesn't make Nick too happy because he loves the spot with me and Noah singing.
• 1:08
  That's okay. We'll put it on for next week. With that being said,
• 1:12
  Nick, always good to see you, my friend.
• 1:14
  I had some Nick withdrawals since we didn't work today together.
• 1:18
  Yeah, well, we see enough of each other, so we'll make up for it next week. That's it.
• 1:23
  So, you know, listen, without further ado, everybody in Half Faith Let It Begin knows who you are.
• 1:28
  And when you come on to this show, you really know how to pack a punch.
• 1:32
  So today's episode is called, written by you, it's called Human Appreciation Day.
• 1:37
  Ladies and gentlemen, I turn the reins over to your host for today, Nick.
• 1:42
  Okay, Angel, thank you very much. And I appreciate the time with your audience.
• 1:47
  It's always an honor to be able to be on here.
• 1:50
  What sparked this desire to come on and speak about this was,
• 1:54
  I guess, about three weeks ago, I had the pleasure of a little vacation time
• 1:59
  with my family, and I was away from the job for two weeks.
• 2:02
  And we were away for nine days.
• 2:05
  We were in a hotel. It was right off the beach.
• 2:08
  It was very nice. But you get to see for those nine days, there are so many
• 2:14
  people who are trying to make your vacation the best that it can be.
• 2:21
  And they go unrecognized. It's like a thankless job that they have.
• 2:27
  Those who are at the front desk of the hotel, those who take care of your room,
• 2:35
  the housekeeping staff.
• 2:37
  For the most part, you're going out for meals, breakfast, and dinner, and the wait staff.
• 2:49
  Everybody in the place is just trying to make your
• 2:52
  time the best that it can be and they go they really go unnoticed so i thought
• 2:58
  about you know we're really one human race here we're there's only one race
• 3:03
  as far as i'm concerned and that's the human race it's it's blind as to color
• 3:09
  of your skin, your religion,
• 3:13
  your sex, your culture, it doesn't matter.
• 3:17
  We're all in one race, and that's the only race I know.
• 3:22
  And, you know, we're going through this journey of life jointly.
• 3:28
  Everyone, we're all here together. And, you know, it would be nice if we treated
• 3:34
  each other as such and, you know, give each other a pat on the back where it's due.
• 3:41
  And so that's where I came up with this.
• 3:44
  And so I'd like to start out kind of going through a few groups that I'd like
• 3:48
  to thank. And it'll start out by, you know, the usual groups that we do thank.
• 3:55
  And that's, you know, we start with our military, current military and veterans
• 4:01
  who have, you know, did their job to keep us safe and free.
• 4:08
  And that includes their families, their families as well, because they're serving as well.
• 4:14
  And those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for us, we thank them and we
• 4:20
  thank their families for that.
• 4:24
  Law enforcement, all kinds of law enforcement who keep us safe every day,
• 4:29
  as well as their families who pay a price. and for all of those who have fallen in the line of duty.
• 4:37
  We thank them. We thank their families.
• 4:40
  Emergency medical personnel who are out,
• 4:44
  who are out all hours of the night. And if we have a medical emergency,
• 4:47
  they're there to try to get us to safety and get us to where we need to be so we can get better again.
• 4:55
  So those are the groups that we kind of usually always thank and rightfully so.
• 5:03
  But then there's the ones who, I guess I'll put it under a title of a customer
• 5:08
  service type person who's dealing with the public, you know,
• 5:13
  on various issues. You have your retail workers.
• 5:16
  You have, you know, as I said, the people who work in hotels and restaurants
• 5:22
  and things of that nature.
• 5:24
  We have those who answer the telephone when you call a place.
• 5:31
  So front desk personnel at hotels, it wouldn't hurt to say thank you to them.
• 5:38
  And I know that, I would hope that people would, if you feel that you can,
• 5:46
  you would monetarily thank them as well, but it would be very important that
• 5:52
  if you thank them face-to-face for what they do.
• 5:55
  I mean, we had a terrific lady who was taking care of our room.
• 6:01
  I mean, she was there every day, same time like clockwork.
• 6:06
  And I actually saw her boss in the elevator and I told her about her.
• 6:12
  And I thanked her right to her face. I said, you're doing a terrific job.
• 6:17
  And I think she really appreciated that.
• 6:20
  She appreciated that more than the financial benefit. She really did.
• 6:23
  People at the front desk, waiters and waitresses, that's a hard job.
• 6:29
  It's a hard job serving food and being on your feet all those hours.
• 6:34
  And they should be taken care of appropriately as well. And a thank you would go a long way.
• 6:41
  And then you have kind of, you know, those like Angel, like you and I,
• 6:46
  and there are plenty of people who have switchboard operator positions around,
• 6:51
  and, you know, if people would be,
• 6:54
  just would have some respect and patience and consideration when they speak
• 7:02
  on the phone to someone who you don't even know,
• 7:05
  who has never met you before and who has never spoken to you before and who
• 7:12
  is not the cause of why you're so angry.
• 7:16
  For the most part, I would say, you know, we want to help you as much as we possibly can.
• 7:23
  And from their standpoint, all you have to do is just have some respect for
• 7:29
  them And they will do anything to try to help you and get your issue resolved.
• 7:34
  But you can't come on like gangbusters on the telephone right off the bat.
• 7:38
  Like, it's just not appropriate.
• 7:41
  It's just not appropriate.
• 7:43
  And on the other hand, you know, you have us sitting on the other side of the phone.
• 7:49
  You know, we should also have the consideration that we don't know what that
• 7:55
  person's been through or what brought them to this point.
• 7:59
  So we should have as much respect and patience and consideration of them that
• 8:06
  we're asking for of them.
• 8:09
  So that's basically what I really wanted to say today.
• 8:14
  You know, as I said, we're going through this life together.
• 8:18
  We're all going to be judged one day on our resume here.
• 8:23
  And you know it would go a long way if we were
• 8:26
  and this world would be a better a better place if we were
• 8:29
  just a lot kinder with one another you you
• 8:32
  have spoken about angel about but things that have
• 8:35
  that have gone on you know you've you've spoken about the road rage and things
• 8:40
  of that nature that you run into and you have some episodes based on that i
• 8:44
  mean that that goes into this that all goes into this have some kindness patience
• 8:49
  and consideration with one another and the world would be a better place for it.
• 8:55
  Absolutely. Absolutely. And I agree.
• 8:58
  So, I mean, that's what I, that's what I wanted to talk to everyone about.
• 9:02
  And I'll be curious to hear of any feedback that you get.
• 9:07
  I think, I think the feedback that for myself off the bat is first and foremost,
• 9:12
  thank you for bringing that up because you know what, it's such an easy topic.
• 9:16
  And what I mean by that is not to diminish your episode by any means.
• 9:20
  It's, it's an easy topic because all it takes is a little bit of kindness.
• 9:24
  It takes that opportunity that like you did, it just took you a few minutes.
• 9:28
  To show your gratitude by recognizing an individual, by just giving them a quick,
• 9:34
  good job, a pat on the back, verbiage, telling the boss.
• 9:38
  We're so quick to give negative feedback because of instant gratification that
• 9:45
  we fail to remember the hard work that people put into to make your moments
• 9:51
  become amazing memories.
• 9:53
  And I think that Human Appreciation Day is something that we need to strive to remind people.
• 10:00
  And I hope that we can continue to remind them as the seasons change and as
• 10:06
  the closer we get to the holidays.
• 10:08
  I think we need to bring this episode back again as a series return,
• 10:13
  especially during the holiday season. So I'd like to see you come back with
• 10:17
  more of Human Appreciation Day.
• 10:20
  Maybe we'll call it, you know, seasons within the seasons and kind of talk about
• 10:25
  the Black Fridays and the holiday shopping and, you know, just having that understanding
• 10:30
  with each other. What do you think?
• 10:32
  That's a great idea. I'll be glad to do it. Excellent. So, you know,
• 10:36
  we like to, you know, talk about our spirituality here, obviously,
• 10:40
  at Half Faith Let It Begin.
• 10:41
  And one of the greatest things about being appreciative is also learning about.
• 10:48
  Christ did for his disciples. He appreciated them.
• 10:52
  Yes, at times they didn't understand what he was saying and they asked a lot
• 10:56
  of questions and they doubted, just like we do at times, but he never gave up on them.
• 11:02
  And he always inspired to teach them so that they can go out and spread the
• 11:07
  message when he left this earth. And one day he'll return.
• 11:12
  And we're just hoping and praying that one episode at a time,
• 11:16
  one title at a time, one thought at a time, you, the Half Faith Let It Begin
• 11:21
  family, will continue to inspire to be better people one random act of kindness at a time.
• 11:26
  So on behalf of all of us here, may God be with you. May he shine his light
• 11:30
  upon you and grant each and every single one of you peace on earth.
• 11:34
