Speaker 1 (02:23):
Okay, this is an incredible story so she lives in Arlington, Texas.
She's eleven years old. Her name is Delilah. Tragic house fire.
She survived it, but ended up spending a month in
the hospital recovering okay. Once she gets out of the hospital,
the firefighters who rescued her called to check up on her.
(02:43):
They brought her back to school in a fire engine.
But not only that, the story gets even better because
her local McDonald's also called to check on her. They
show up at school with the firefighters and Grimace, and
Grimace says to her, Delilah, if you work really hard
and one day work at McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
We will pay for your colleague. What can you imagine?
She's like, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
And we have got Amy.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Now you're a manager at a post office. You say
your kids are grown now. But when they were just
finishing up school for the summer, what did they want
to do and what did you want to do?
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Well? I, well, they wanted to sleep and I wanted
them just to clean the house.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Ah, So how did you compromise?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
What happened?
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Well, it was always when they were a teenagers. I
would call or lead notes and they wouldn't do it
until a half hour before I came home. They'd get
up and they hurry up and clean up everything.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
So I remember when my kids, you know, it was
summertime and I'm here at Sunny. I had a whole
list of things for them to do, and you know,
they waited for thirty minutes before I got home, and
that's when they scrambled.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Right exactly. That is. I wanted to call you guys
on Monday and when you were talking about the wind shines.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Yeah, the question was on Monday. Some of us love
the sound of windshines, others can't stand it. So what
did you want to comment about, Amy?
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Oh, it was too funny because my husband put wind
chimes up and they don't wake me up, but I'm
afraid they're going to wake up the neighbors. So I
kept telling them, take those down, take those down. I
hate them. And my mother in law live with us,
and they her him and her love them well. Longster
In short, my family's here from Wisconsin and they get
(07:29):
up the first morning and said, oh my god, you
guys have a church er own because the bills are beautiful.
We keep hearing these chimes and I'm like, please don't
tell him that.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Wow, you got owned.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
So the wind chimes are here to stay.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I guess that is too funny.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Oh I love that.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
And I was just in Wisconsin visiting my daughter and
her kids. They live in Barnevelde. Where's your family from?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Beli Green Bay?
Speaker 2 (08:01):

good day.

Sunny Dotty nine point one with Dana in the morning.
Here's what's trending right now in Acetown. We resumes are trending.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Resumes for your summer job. But here's the question. Should
you use AI.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
In writing your resume? Anthony? What do you think? I
would say? Yes, actually, and you're actually right.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
It might actually be better for you to use AI
because companies are no longer using people to review applications.
They're using you.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Guessed it, AI.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
So if you're using the same AI to write your
resumes that companies are using to read the resumes, you're
gonna make it through the first round.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
That's what the experts are saying.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
So actually beating the bots might mean just using the bots,
and that's what's trending. Yep, are your wrestmen, honestly, Anthony
or the Green is so checking it out. That's what's
trending in Houston. I'm studying nighty nine point one.
