00:30 when you come in and make everyone laugh
00:32 and you're incredibly talented, especially in news.
00:35 I think anyone who watches you knows that.
00:38 And you're one of the reasons,
00:40 or pretty much the main reason I'm still in news today
00:42 and you're always pushing me to be better
00:45 and in news and in other aspects of my life.
