  Speaker 2: First, good morning, Carrie, Bill and Gina. I just wanted
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: to say thank you again for the support. It honestly
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: means everything from you three as a proud friend of
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: the program. Getting encouragement from the voices I listened to
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: every morning is pretty surreal. It's a full circle moment.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Speaking of full circle, now, this is Julie Jules Avelino,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: who's the second grade teacher in Ogden Ogden Preparatory Academy,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: and she's in this Teacher of the Year competition. So
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: speaking of full circle, I was just on Radioactive talking
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: about education and this wild contest journey and realized that
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: you had just been featured for your fortieth anniversary. I
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: didn't know that on Radioactive.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Our friend who interviewed us said she went on there

  Speaker 3: and talked.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh oh I didn't. I didn't know that. Oh yeah,

  Speaker 2: teacher will win America's Favorite Teacher. Hey, now you've already
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: rallied the friends of the program once and it made
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: a huge difference. Thank you. The support that's come from
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: this has absolutely blown me away, especially from people I've
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: never even met. My gratitude for that is endless, no pressure,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: just my entire emotional stability riding on daily voices. So
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I encourage listeners to set a daily reminder on their
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: phones to vote until May twenty first, because, let's be honest,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: they're probably already scrolling for Facebook anyway. Also, Gina, I
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: have to ask, did you get a chance to walk
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: on the lava while you were in Hawaii? My Ohana
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: lives on the islands, and every time I visit, that
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: experience never gets old. There's something really special about seeing Pele.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I guess that's the volcano. Seeing Pele in action. It's powerful, humbling,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and kind of unforgettable. I'd love to hear if you
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: had a moment like that. I'm guessing the answer.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Is no no, because and I actually never talked about this.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: It was one of the stories I forgot to tell.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: They had a red volcano watch, which is like, this
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: is really really super active. So they had closed the
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: part of the park where you can usually go and
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: watch because it was it was that active. I watched
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: it on Instagram. They had cameras of it, very very impressive.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: So Jules says, thanks again for being such a constant
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: in the community and for making mornings in Utah actually enjoyable.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: If she manages to win this whole thing, she gets
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Bill Ny the science guy, to come to her school,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: her second grade class in Ogden. That would be so great,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: It would be really cool. So the way you vote

  Speaker 2: for a ride sometime. Nope, I promised that Gina won't
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: die this way. I can't promise that it is the
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: safest form of air travel can but she could always

• 5:41
  Speaker 2: there's one picture where they're in the basket and the

• 5:47
  Speaker 2: it's Mount Tipanogus and it's you know, covered with snow,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: and I thought, I scare the crap out of mine.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I am sure, it's an amazing way to see things
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: and and I think it would probably be really cool.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Wyatt mm hm.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: You remember years ago, I think it was Joe Cannon
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: who was running for political office, and he had a
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: brought they were US fielders Chris Cannon, so it was
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: either Chris or Joe, and they had a hot air
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: balloon that had that would looked like whoever it was Chris, Yeah,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I mean it's a big hot air balloon and it
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: looked like one of the whoever, whichever Cannon brother told
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: them that's the way to go. And it got and
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: it got away. Yeah, and I just I should look
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: this story up. It got away, didn't didn't do any
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: much damage or anything or hurt anybody.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I disagree with that line. It's the safest form of
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: air travel. Totally disagree. Well, put it up.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I bet they, I bet pilot pilot Ryan probably has statistics.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Statistics I don't believe.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: But even if they showed you statistics, Carrie, you would
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: still not go up in that balloon.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I would not know.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: You can't get carry up in a small plane, small aircraft.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Forget it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: When he's he'll go on a big plane, but he
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: pretends it's something else.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Hill and I have done a few different plane things. Well,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: we did the SUU the plane because they have the
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: aviation school there, and then there was that school in
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Ogden that we actually flew small planes.
