*Bonus Episode* - Brian Morris - A Day of Giving

1
00:00:13,250 --> 00:00:57,530
And we're live.
What's up there boys and girls?

2
00:00:58,610 --> 00:01:00,050
Welcome to the Christmas Mike
show.

3
00:01:00,130 --> 00:01:02,570
I'm Chrissy's Mike.
This is Brian Morris, the world

4
00:01:02,570 --> 00:01:07,050
famous legendary life changing
human being that has just an

5
00:01:07,050 --> 00:01:09,690
incredible life resume.
Sooner or later he's going to be

6
00:01:09,690 --> 00:01:12,250
a politician that that does good
for our state because that's

7
00:01:12,250 --> 00:01:17,880
just, you know, who he is.
And I've known Brian Ferraro 20

8
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:18,760
years.
We decided a.

9
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,000
Little over 20 now.
Yeah, a little over 20 years.

10
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,800
I think it's called 2022 or 23.
22 or 23 and true story, he is

11
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,960
one of the only people in this
world that has seen my wife

12
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:30,280
naked.
Guilty.

13
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,240
Now the reason why?
Guilty.

14
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,000
That's an interesting tidbit
fact for your listeners we had.

15
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,560
Fact on a Friday afternoon.
We had is Nikki.

16
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:40,720
Going to hear this when we're
gone.

17
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,040
Probably she had this calendar
made that was very, very

18
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,360
tastefully done, black and
white, and I put it up on my

19
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,280
computer to screensaver.
So Brian's over my house when

20
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,440
they were looking at houses or
shit.

21
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,760
I forget about the screensaver
and I run downstairs, get

22
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,760
something, come back upstairs
and Brian's eyes are like this

23
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,880
on the computer.
And let's just say I've never

24
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,640
gotten the annual update sent,
which really sucks because I

25
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,320
thought I was on the
subscription list.

26
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,840
I signed up for the subscription
list and I don't know if it was

27
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,440
you or Nikki took me off, but
I've never gotten my me.

28
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,400
I'm still stuck in the same
year, you know.

29
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,640
It's funny how shit just pops in
your head man.

30
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:18,360
I can't believe you even thought
about that.

31
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,400
It's been 18 years ago.
She just keeps getting younger.

32
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,080
And Brian?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

33
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,200
You know, yeah.
But that's not why we're here

34
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,320
today.
We're not here to talk about my

35
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:28,920
beautiful and amazing wife.
We're here to talk about Brian

36
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:30,760
Morris and and what he's doing
now going.

37
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,440
This is your 10th year.
This is our 9th year and going

38
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,920
back to that, thankfully it was
your wife that was naked on the

39
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:38,800
counter, not you.
Because you probably would have

40
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,520
kept me on the subscription
list, right?

41
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,360
It's our 9th.
Year, it's our 9th year.

42
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,600
It's the 9th year and, and
let's, let's just share the

43
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,080
screen here so we can share what
you're talking about while

44
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,120
you're talking.
So this is Brian and his friend

45
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,280
David Belt started this nine
years ago in a in a parking lot

46
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,080
right in Peoria or Glendale.
So Fire Station 1 is in downtown

47
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,840
Peoria and it's now restaurant.
It was.

48
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,760
It was not operating at the
time.

49
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,400
We started in the field next to
there and it all started out of

50
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,480
the Hurricane Harvey.
So we had gone to, we had raised

51
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,840
funds and and and goods for
Hurricane Harvey, went to

52
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,520
Houston, spent a little over a
week there with 20 volunteers

53
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,960
doing really good service to the
community and donating 4 semi

54
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,120
truckloads.
We came back and our other

55
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,240
friend David Dovecchio from Abd
Signs and Printing had kept

56
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,160
collecting while we were gone.
And when we got back, the

57
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,280
warehouse was full.
And I mean full.

58
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,000
So David and being the guy that
he is, first of all, we weren't

59
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,560
going back to Houston 'cause we
were exhausted.

60
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,680
It was emotionally, mentally,
financially draining.

61
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,000
But Dave goes, hey, let's do
this day of giving.

62
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,960
And I'm like, cool.
I mean, the way Dave and I work

63
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,640
and one of us comes up with the
other an idea and no matter how

64
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,800
far fetched it is or how far out
there it is, OK, We just do it

65
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,760
right.
So there's no question, which is

66
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,160
why we work so well together
'cause we're both really freaky

67
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,040
like that.
So we we decided to start

68
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,640
setting up on a Friday night.
Saturday showed up and we were

69
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,640
like, I don't know how people
are going to show up. 100 kids

70
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,200
got toys and 40 families.
And that sounds like a big

71
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,000
number, man.
We were like knocking it out of

72
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,040
the park.
But I'll never forget, David at

73
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,560
the end of it is like, man, you
know, be really cool is if

74
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,800
someday we could take over the
Peoria Sports Complex.

75
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,079
And everybody just laughed at
us.

76
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:24,800
Now let people, let people, let
people who are who are listening

77
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,240
to this and they're going to
watch this later.

78
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,120
How, how?
What's the size of Peoria Sports

79
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,520
Complex?
Peoria's forest complex where

80
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,480
the, the Mariners practice,
it's, it's, it's the training

81
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,720
Center for the Seattle Mariners.
It holds about 15,000 in the

82
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,880
seats.
So it's a, it's a fairly large

83
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,800
facility.
But we didn't just go from the

84
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,840
field to there.
Obviously the, the, the next

85
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:49,440
step for us was the, the
Community Center.

86
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:51,320
And the first year we did really
well.

87
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,680
And every year we've, we've
grown.

88
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,920
And then the last year we were
in the Community Center was two

89
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,000
years ago and we wrapped the
Community Center three times

90
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,720
with the line and we knew we
outgrew it because it was just

91
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,360
too much of an event for that
small of a space.

92
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:09,200
So we took over half of the
outer part of the curious forest

93
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,000
complex all around the the
areas.

94
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,280
And we, we did, you know, 3035
hundred kids and we fed 500

95
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:16,520
families.
We thought, wait, man, we've

96
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:21,160
really come to the point.
So, you know, we were expecting

97
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,720
a a pretty good turn out this
year and it's exploded on us.

98
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:30,320
But you know, I got to tell you,
as much as I want to take credit

99
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,040
for all of this, the the real
brainchild behind the day of

100
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,760
giving was David Bell with the
advantage pools and landscaping.

101
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,200
David and I just have this
unbelievable desire to serve the

102
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,080
community.
We Dave is just like he he sees

103
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,320
things that I don't exactly see.
So I'm like the execution.

104
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,520
Let's make it happen type of
guy.

105
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,440
I come up with my stuff.
I, I have a big thing for law

106
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,840
enforcement as you, as you know,
I've been doing that stuff for,

107
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,680
for over 20 years.
When this event started to come

108
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,080
together, we started putting all
the stuff together.

109
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,280
And every year David hears
something and then he makes the

110
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:08,160
event bigger.
So just to give you an example,

111
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,280
for a couple years we've heard
these kids.

112
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:13,080
I wish I had a toy to give my
mom and dad, which had something

113
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,120
to put underneath the tree for
him.

114
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,200
So last year we had parent gifts
and the, the parent gifts are

115
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,680
these gifts, they're on the
table, they're all wrapped.

116
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,520
And then they have the, the, the
one gift that they can see.

117
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,520
So they get to give a wrap gift
to their parent.

118
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,440
They don't know what they are,
but this is going to be huge.

119
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,080
I mean, this was the last year's
clip.

120
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,480
And you'll see just the, the
magnitude of what we have here.

121
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,360
And I want you to multiply that
times 3.

122
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,960
Oh, that's fantastic.
And for those of you watching, I

123
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,080
purposely don't have the sound
on the video because I don't

124
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,600
want it to overpower what we're
talking about.

125
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,200
But it from a visual standpoint,
this is what Brian does on, this

126
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,360
is his 9th year and it keeps
getting bigger and bigger every

127
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,880
single year.
So this is kind of a behind the

128
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,960
scenes stuff before the kids in
the family show up, right?

129
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:55,120
Yes, this is the day, the
morning of the day of giving.

130
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,800
This is a week in preparation.
I I don't even, to be honest

131
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,360
with you, I am.
I've been working 7080 hours a

132
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,600
week on top of running a
business, on top of coaching, on

133
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,560
top of Community College.
Yeah, on top of being a dad.

134
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,520
And I look at this video and I
think to myself, well, that's

135
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,400
cool, but we're going to have to
figure out how to do all of this

136
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,520
in the same time frame with four
times the amount.

137
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,560
Right.
And the day of giving so people

138
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,440
understand is is December 20th
correct at the at the at the

139
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,360
Peoria Sports Complex starts at
7:00 AM and goes until the last

140
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,560
kids families well we.
We have to be out of there by

141
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,000
5:00, but I can tell you that
that depending on how the event

142
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,680
goes.
But let Chris, we got to talk

143
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,600
about the event.
It's not just about the toys,

144
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:39,840
right?
Yeah, let's talk about the toys.

145
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,600
So too many times we get
fundraisers where people are

146
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,400
like, oh, I donated toys, OK,
cool.

147
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,120
Well, we want to make sure they
have the experience.

148
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,000
So you know, like right now at
the Peoria Sports Complex, you

149
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,240
have candy cane lane.
Well, candy cane lane is a

150
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,640
really cool holiday thing that's
put together.

151
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,360
The owner of that is amazing,
but it's a for profit business.

152
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,080
You know, there's a a gate
charge.

153
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,960
Everything you do inside is a
charge, so it costs money.

154
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,800
These families wouldn't have
that experience.

155
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:06,960
So what experience are we
building?

156
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,960
Right?
You come in the gate, it's right

157
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,240
away.
You have the registration

158
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,240
process, you're giving
wristbands for all the stuff

159
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,920
that we do.
We give you free food, free

160
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,240
popcorn, free cotton candy.
We give you bouncy houses, Santa

161
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,480
Claus, cookie decorating
stations, Santa Land.

162
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,640
This year we added the BMX
experience, the Dino crew, Hello

163
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,040
Kitty.
We got Elsa and Anna's going to

164
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,480
be coming down and, and
actually, you know, from Frozen,

165
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,520
they're actually making an
appearance with us this year.

166
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,000
We have cosplay characters,
Police Department, fire

167
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,760
department, sheriff's officers.
We have an entire event that is

168
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,159
an experience so they can get
the holiday experience.

169
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:44,960
I get goosebumps even talking
about it and I talk about it all

170
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,120
the time, but it makes such an
impact because these are kids

171
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,960
that would not have anything.
But beyond that, there's more.

172
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,680
We also feed families so they
get a family meal and the family

173
00:08:56,680 --> 00:08:59,840
meal is a meal for six that that
they can take and prep.

174
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,960
It's on the 20th, so there's
five days before.

175
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,480
In the past we've done turkeys.
This year we we talked ourselves

176
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,160
out of the turkeys just because
of the handling of almost 2000

177
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,440
turkeys was a lot.
And so we went to a gift card.

178
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,880
So fries, we're doing gift cards
or fries and they'll be able to

179
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,160
go there and get a Turkey or a
ham or whatever kind of meat

180
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,160
they want.
The rest of the fixings come in

181
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,160
a bag and they got the ugly pool
bag with the with all the food

182
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,440
of course.
You don't have a pool bag and.

183
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,760
Then there's a stocking area
that the parents while the kids

184
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,400
are going through.
So this is a cool thing.

185
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,840
So that toy room first couple
years the parents walk the kids

186
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,200
through.
Well here's the issue with

187
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,880
letting parents walk kids
through a toy area.

188
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,120
Is a kid see something they
want?

189
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,800
What does a parent see?
They see something they want.

190
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,800
Something with a what With what?
With what?

191
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,640
A price tag, yes.
So a kid may want a $5 or $10

192
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,560
squish mellow and the parent
sees a $30 remote control.

193
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,440
That's me.
And what do you think?

194
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,320
What, what, what, What do you
think they're going to tell the

195
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,480
kids to get?
The the more expensive thing.

196
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:01,720
Electronic.
Yeah, Yep.

197
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,880
So we took them out of the
equation.

198
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,480
Parents are not allowed to go
with their kids in the toy room.

199
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,920
They are put to the side.
They are teamed up with a

200
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,440
volunteer.
Volunteer walks through.

201
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,640
You know what our enrollment is
right now over 7000 more 10 days

202
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:16,600
away and I'm.
Average.

203
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,160
So when I show up on the 20th,
what's my what's my volunteer

204
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,200
role going to be?
It's going to be we, we have a

205
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:24,880
great volunteer coordinators
this year.

206
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,160
They're going to have individual
site coordination, so different

207
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,360
things from registration to food
to packaging.

208
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,560
We want volunteers this year.
In the past, we've never been

209
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:37,440
smart enough to do this.
Volunteers were pretty much

210
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,000
stuck where they were.
We want volunteers to have just

211
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,680
as much experience as as as the
people have.

212
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,400
So you're going to volunteer,
let's say registration table for

213
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,880
a couple hours, and you're going
to go to help the kids with toys

214
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,560
for a couple hours and you're
going to help with bouncy houses

215
00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:54,000
for a couple hours and A food,
However long you want to stay,

216
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,040
come in for an hour.
I promise you if you show up and

217
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,440
you plan to stay there for an
hour or two, you will stay there

218
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,680
the rest of the day because this
will move you.

219
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,280
Well, you know how I am dude.
I love this stuff man.

220
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,040
I know.
But I'm saying there's a lot of

221
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,920
people like, oh, I don't have
the whole day.

222
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,640
I get it.
We don't need the whole day.

223
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,680
Don't don't think we're
expecting you to hang out all

224
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:14,040
day.
Come here, get a shirt, let the

225
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,200
gates open.
Start talking to the kids.

226
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,120
Read some of those letters from
Sam and then see how long you

227
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,200
actually stay there.
I promise you if you if you want

228
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,440
to come there, you will not want
to leave until the events and

229
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,520
you want to make this such a
great experience.

230
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,960
Now this this part of the video,
this is obviously not toys.

231
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,600
This is all basic needs stuff.
That's teen Room.

232
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,120
Teen room, OK.
Teen room.

233
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,800
Awesome.
So this is our, we've, we've

234
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,720
really tried to focus.
It's very difficult to shop for

235
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,720
teens.
So we try to put things together

236
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,520
like curling irons, video,
different kind of games.

237
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,120
You'll see speakers and
headphones and and a little bit

238
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,160
higher end stuff.
They don't get as much, but they

239
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,360
get something that's, you know,
look at the speakers bro.

240
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:56,760
It's.
Very cool dude.

241
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,360
This isn't, this isn't junk.
We're not going and buying.

242
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:04,240
This is buying yes top end stuff
as much as possible as long as a

243
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,000
budget allows.
There's that jacket again, just

244
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,680
no presentation.
Is outstanding.

245
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:10,520
It's true.
Look all the socks.

246
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,040
Look all the socks.
Why?

247
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,080
Because you need socks and I
know so when you walk.

248
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,720
So, so I, I'm, so I, I, I go
there as somebody that I'm a

249
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,440
kid, right?
And I want, I'm going to take me

250
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,320
to the toy room.
So is there a limit?

251
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,320
Obviously there's got to be
limit of what toys I can get,

252
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,120
how many I can pick.
I mean, how do you work that

253
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,880
dynamic with it?
So you have a 10 year old kid

254
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,040
who's walking through the toy
room.

255
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,960
So, so we we have a certain
number of big items and a

256
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,520
certain number of small items.
So how this is going to get

257
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,040
figured out is we've been doing
through our enrollments and we

258
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,560
know that we're going to have X
number of people for sure that

259
00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:43,560
are enrolled.
We have X number of people who

260
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:45,920
will show up at the gate.
Now, remember, in the past we've

261
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,120
kind of been shooting this off
of the off of the hip.

262
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,840
Yeah, because we never had pre
registrations.

263
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:52,960
This year we have pre
registration.

264
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,000
So here's what's going to
happen.

265
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,320
You're going to come in, you go
in, we're going to know.

266
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,040
OK.
Hey, we got X number of 10 year

267
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,840
olds that are coming through, 10
to 12 year olds.

268
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:02,960
These are the toys that they
get.

269
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,040
Here's what they get.
So the volunteers, when they're

270
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,720
going through, they go, OK, you
can have one of these, you can

271
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,120
have two of these, one of these.
So we, we do it based on what we

272
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,840
have now.
As more people sign up,

273
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,000
obviously we change the
quantities.

274
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,240
So we, we plan on 6000 this
year.

275
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:23,960
We've already registered 7500
and we'll get 1000 to 2000 that

276
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,240
show up.
So we're going to be around

277
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,160
10,000.
Chris.

278
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,320
OK, wow.
That's amazing.

279
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,720
And that's the mayor of Peoria,
Jason Beck.

280
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,360
Yeah, this is Jason Beck.
Real important to know that

281
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,440
without this event or without
him and his family, this event

282
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,720
would not be what it was before
he became mayor.

283
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:48,040
This this is his 7th, 7th year.
He came out as his family, the

284
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,360
Beck family, and they donated
every single bike that's there

285
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,760
was donated by the Beck family.
Wow.

286
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,520
This year, this year he
challenged a few people.

287
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,120
We're hoping that they come
through for us.

288
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,160
I think we did like 170 bikes
last year just to buy that we

289
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,600
did the other day with the mayor
was over 400 bikes.

290
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:12,480
And let me tell you, they come
in and how they do it is is they

291
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:14,920
they pretty much come into a
Walmart.

292
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,560
We, we take a, the experience
for them is they bring the whole

293
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,520
family.
So they have their littlest kids

294
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,880
up to their oldest kids.
They go down the aisle.

295
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,680
Jason is there, Jane, his wife
is there.

296
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,880
They start going down.
They get kind of an idea of what

297
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,440
they're looking for.
We go aisle by aisle and they

298
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:37,840
fill the carts, fill the carts.
We had over 297 carts, 297 cars

299
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,920
before we bought bikes.
It took two hours and 45 minutes

300
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,880
with four registers open
non-stop at Walmart with four

301
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,880
people in each register bagging
the in the trash bags to get the

302
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,680
stuff from the carts into trash
bags to take to the semi.

303
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,400
Jason parked a 53 foot semi in
the parking lot.

304
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,040
We loaded it front to back with
goods and goods.

305
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,120
And this is all from the mayor
of Peoria.

306
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,320
That's from the mayor, but more
importantly, it's not from the

307
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,560
the city of Peoria, it's from.
Jason Beckham.

308
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,480
That's what I'm saying.
I want people to understand this

309
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,280
is the mayor opening up his
checkbook.

310
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,280
His personal checkbook, Right.
I just, I just want to clarify

311
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,080
because the city.
No, Yeah, He gives the city

312
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,320
through the city.
They can only give so much.

313
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,360
And he's not taking from the
city to do this.

314
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,040
No, he's doing this as a
resident of Peoria because he

315
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,040
loves Peoria.
And he called me the other day

316
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,080
and he said, Brian, he goes I
can see your needs gone up.

317
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,000
He goes I'm going to talk to
Jane or see if we can fill

318
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,960
another truck this week.
Yeah, that's amazing.

319
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:38,840
And I'm like, OK, that's well,
let me tell you, it takes, it

320
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,440
takes, it takes.
Takes a village.

321
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,320
We we go, we got there six, we
left at 2:45.

322
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,120
So it was 88, almost 9 hours
just to get the stuff bought and

323
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,040
filled.
Now we got to get it unloaded

324
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,520
and sorted and organized.
So I mean, there's a single

325
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,960
truckload is 3540 hours times
how many people are there?

326
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,880
Yeah, that's amazing.
Hundreds of man hours.

327
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,440
So the entire time you're
prepping for this, you're using

328
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,680
Peoria Sports Complex?
We start prepping on Monday.

329
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,440
We've been collecting, we have
storage units scrolled away.

330
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,280
We have 53 foot semis that are
loaded and sitting in parking

331
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,600
lots of our partner businesses.
We have a 53 foot semi sitting

332
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,480
at the Curious Force complex we
picked up from the West Side

333
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,440
Food Bank today.
We've got stuff staged at we've

334
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,680
already purchased.
Yesterday we did a big purchase

335
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,720
at 5 Below at Lake Pleasant
Happy Valley. 5 Below has become

336
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,440
one of our biggest partners and
what makes them so unique.

337
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,200
They have such a wide range of
stuff that you can stretch your

338
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,480
dollars.
I mean, you talk about going, if

339
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,200
you say go in there and you're
like, hey, day of giving,

340
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,480
they're going to give you a
little bit of a discount.

341
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,560
Plus they're going to be really,
you know, in tune with what

342
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,960
stuff that we need.
But we, we really appreciate 5

343
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,320
below because they, we, we
palletized 8 pallets yesterday

344
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,880
of stuff and it's sitting there
and I'm like, Hey, I can't pick

345
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,600
it up until Monday because I
have a place to put it.

346
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,000
You know, it's not like I have a
million square foot warehouse

347
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,520
sitting around.
I've, I've got stuff everywhere.

348
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,680
So Monday, Tuesday is collecting
our our stuff to bring to the to

349
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,720
bring there.
It's our sorting.

350
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,440
So, so no, no, somebody's parked
in your backyard.

351
00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:10,520
Yeah.
No, because I know somebody's

352
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,200
parked in his mind.
Yeah, I'm like, I'm like it's,

353
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,079
it's parked in front of
businesses and in parking lots.

354
00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:19,400
We've got them.
We, we do have stuff all over.

355
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,200
And as much as you think we
have, I, I want you just to, to

356
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,760
go through the numbers.
If you have 8000 kids, that's

357
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:30,280
8000 stockings, right?
8000 stockings with four to five

358
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,320
items, that's about $12.00,
right?

359
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,360
8000 * 1296 thousand just in
stockings.

360
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,000
Then you have the family meals.
You've got 2000 family meals at

361
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,760
roughly 38 to $40 a meal.
Well, there's another 80,000.

362
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:48,560
Then you've got the toys, and if
you give 8000 kids 50 to $60.00

363
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,120
in toys, there's $480,000 in
toys.

364
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,520
So when you look at the numbers,
you start to understand the

365
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,680
scale of what's going on.
And that's before I pay for the

366
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,960
BMX stunt team and the bouncy
houses and all that.

367
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,800
This is 100%, 100% community
donations.

368
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,000
These are 100% businesses in the
Peoria community, persons in the

369
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,400
business community, individuals
like Jason Beck, they're they're

370
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,800
every single dollar plus is
utilized for this because we we

371
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,160
put our money in the people on
the board of the charity.

372
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,520
We're we're not we're not we're
not sitting there.

373
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,960
This is a brand new charity
according to us, and it's been

374
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,400
around since May, you know,
right, So every year prior the

375
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,080
the funding has all been by the
businesses and the community.

376
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,960
This year we've actually gotten
some nice sponsors like Peoria

377
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,200
Ford.
Peoria Ford's been in since day

378
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,120
one.
Albertson's, SRPAPS, Big Red

379
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:41,760
Roof in my UK.
I can go down the list of all

380
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,360
the people that have been good.
We're doing toy drives at

381
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:47,080
Chick-fil-A.
We we had to print 120,000

382
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,880
Flyers for Chick-fil-A at 83rd
Ave.

383
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,400
Bellman.
It's a that's a big number of

384
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,280
Flyers.
That's $7000 in Flyers, right at

385
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,160
a discounted price.
And don't don't forget we fix

386
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,000
ugly pools.
We fix ugly pools and of course

387
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,640
advantage pools and landscape
so.

388
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,600
And the Chris and Mike show.
And the Chris and Mike show

389
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:05,280
most.
Definitely.

390
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,160
But I, but I will tell you that
you know, we're, we're running

391
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,040
so thin like we're, we're right
now in a budget shortfall of

392
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,400
about 45,000 going into 8 days
before the 8 days before the

393
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:20,200
show or 8 days before the event.
Well, I don't have $45,000.

394
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,640
That's why I'd give it to you.
Well here, here's the crazy

395
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,320
thing.
I don't need 45,000 from you,

396
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,440
but let's break 45,000 down into
$150.00 increments and that's

397
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,600
how many people we need to
donate.

398
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,200
It's not what we're asking for.
A lot.

399
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,960
Break that down.
Simplify to stupid breakdown

400
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,520
45,000 to to $50 a person.
Tell me how many people that is.

401
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,560
And there's enough people out
there that hey, maybe, maybe you

402
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,280
realize that instead of giving
presents this year, you give an

403
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,760
understanding that, hey, if we
give to someone else, this $50

404
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,120
is going to feed a family or
this $50 is going to give

405
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:52,280
Christmas to somebody who would
not have it.

406
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,080
It's not a, you know, I'm going
to donate a little bit and it's

407
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,440
going to go do this.
You get the toys and tots toys

408
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,920
Tots a great program, but a lot
of those toys do not stay in the

409
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,160
local market.
It's a national organization.

410
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,760
They determine where it goes.
Every single dollar donated

411
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,480
stays right here in the
community.

412
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,800
It, it, it encourages the
community.

413
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,320
It, it restores the community
and it supports the community.

414
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,080
And it's all done by, by, by
people you know.

415
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,280
Yeah.
So in order so for people to

416
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,720
give on the website I saw, let
me just go back to it and I'll

417
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:27,240
share the screen again.
Do you have something as simple

418
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,640
as AQR code that you can post
and share like the video you the

419
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,120
video you made the other day?
I sent you a message.

420
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:34,560
I want you to send me that so I
can share it.

421
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,840
OK, Because I mean, I can, I can
share it off your page.

422
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,320
I just want to put it on all my
East Valley stuff because you

423
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,440
and I are an hour apart.
So if we weren't an hour apart,

424
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,080
I would be so much more involved
with what?

425
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,840
You so go to the very top where
it says donate.

426
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,440
OK, donate right there.
There you go.

427
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,080
It goes right to the donation
link.

428
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,800
Just go ahead and.
How to make a dollar?

429
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,320
Yep.
All the way down to the bottom.

430
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,560
Well, I want people to see it.
So 25 bucks provides a yeah, but

431
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,520
you'll actually see it better.
In the actual OK, back up, back

432
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:02,520
up, back up.
Back up, back up.

433
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:03,920
Back up, back up.
Don't eat now.

434
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,040
Don't eat now.
Gotcha.

435
00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:08,880
OK.
So there's where it tells you

436
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,680
how to make an impact.
So if you look at it, $25 feeds

437
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,480
a family, provides a full
holiday meal, OK, $55 stuff a

438
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,880
stocking gives children
stocking.

439
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,000
Obviously I just gave you the
numbers on stocking so you know

440
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,200
it's a big number, $100 gives
toys and gifts to children, 250

441
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,600
support a family, covers of
meals, you know, toys,

442
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,560
everything. 500 you get to
actually bring some holiday

443
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,360
magic. 1000 is community hero.
You're doing you could donate as

444
00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:36,480
little as much as you want.
If it's $5 we'll take it.

445
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,120
The other thing is is this year
we added the monthly

446
00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:42,920
reoccurring.
Yeah, because realistically this

447
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,720
year, that next year we know
this events going to hit 20,

448
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,520
1000 people.
I want you understand this,

449
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,960
that's awesome.
We would be over 20,000 right

450
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,800
now if we had it open in more
areas.

451
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,480
Right now.
We've kept it pretty tight in

452
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,720
the Peoria, Glendale district.
We're still getting a lot of

453
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,880
bleed over from other areas, but
we've, we've kept our, our

454
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,560
marketing very close to that.
So you know, the reality, the

455
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,280
monthly ones, you can do a
monthly donation if you donate

456
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,920
$10 a month and you do it.
So that's $60.00 a year.

457
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,920
Imagine if I had 1000 people
doing that, right, right.

458
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,880
You know, it's, it's just an
awesome thing.

459
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,200
And the cool thing is, is every
single dollar you donate is

460
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,200
dollar for dollar tax write off.
Yeah, that's fantastic.

461
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:25,920
That is, that is outstanding
man.

462
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,400
It is outstanding to think in a
decade you went from 40 people

463
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,440
to 20,000 next year is it's mind
blowing.

464
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,480
Well, and, and people don't
really understand the numbers.

465
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,080
So a shop with a cop event,
we're doing one tomorrow with

466
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,640
the Peoria.
And again, we do other

467
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,640
fundraisers and stuff too.
We're working with shop with a

468
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,200
cop in Peoria.
They, they, they affect 56 kids.

469
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,360
Wow, 56.
OK.

470
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,960
It's it's a great experience.
We're going to affect 8 to 10,

471
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,800
1000.
That's amazing.

472
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,400
It is.
When you look at that, just

473
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,840
multiply that every kid gets 4
to 5 toys.

474
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,640
Yeah, that's that's fifty
100,000 toys.

475
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,560
Toys aren't a dollar, guys.
No.

476
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:09,960
They're not even at the cheapest
stores.

477
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,960
They're 6:10, 12/15/20 dollars.
And based on that video that he

478
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,120
showed me, Brian, you have done
your best to provide a quality

479
00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:19,720
product like.
We're not.

480
00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:21,720
We don't put out a real.
Christmas.

481
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,000
Yeah, that's.
So the presentation.

482
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,560
Was just outstanding.
Two things that we've never

483
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,600
shorted ourselves on is, and
again, we've paid out of pocket

484
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,280
on this stuff for years and
we're still paying out of

485
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,160
pocket.
It's not about the money, it's

486
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,960
about the event and the
experience.

487
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,120
Dave and I have the true heart
for, for doing this.

488
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:43,200
The people who volunteer on the
board that are involved

489
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,320
everyday, people who donate,
we're going to have 800

490
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,040
volunteers, OK?
The people who volunteer for

491
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,360
this event, it's a true heart
for giving.

492
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:53,720
There's not a question on, oh,
how's it going to come back to

493
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:54,720
me?
It's not about that.

494
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,040
It's about what can we do to
make an impact?

495
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,960
So our businesses are now run to
make an impact on the community.

496
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,960
And is that the best way to be
to, to, to live a real,

497
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,760
comfortable, non stressful life?
No, because now you're now

498
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,080
you've taken on an event that
needs you to be at your best all

499
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,080
the time.
You need your business to be at

500
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,000
the best all the time so you can
support the event to be at your

501
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,440
best all the time.
You take away time and effort

502
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,000
from your family.
I, I, I am, I got a text last

503
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,640
night from Jessica.
She said, Hey, do you think

504
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,240
you're going to be able to spend
some time with us this

505
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,120
afternoon?
Because there's so much, there's

506
00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:35,680
so much going on that that, that
she's, she's basically, you

507
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,480
know, and I'm like, I'm really
sorry, you know, it, it sucks,

508
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,040
but this is where we're at
because there's no one else to

509
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,160
do the work And you have to, you
have to take ownership of, of

510
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,440
this stuff.
You can't just, you can't just

511
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,760
expect that other people are
going to have the same interest

512
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,000
and involvement that you have.
And you know, there's no the

513
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,200
only gratification we get is
seeing the smiles well, we get

514
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,200
at the end of the day.
Sure.

515
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,600
Well, every kid.
And just so people know, Jessica

516
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,680
is is your your partner.
Fiance.

517
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,080
And fiance.
And Little Bee's mommy.

518
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,120
Yes.
So because, you know, people are

519
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:14,640
like, who's Jessica?
Sorry, I apologize for that.

520
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:15,800
You're OK.
Clarify.

521
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,920
I'm just like in the moment.
You're OK.

522
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,600
And while you were talking, I
just put this, I put this on the

523
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,520
Chris and Mike show page, the
link, as well as on my personal

524
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:25,680
page.
And then I'll continue showing

525
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,760
that 'cause you're going to see
that video when we're off the

526
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,120
show.
I'm going to send you the.

527
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,560
We we updated more videos
yesterday.

528
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,280
I'm going to send you those.
I mean, we are, we are, like I

529
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,280
said, we're, we're getting these
5/10/20 dollar donations.

530
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,240
And I'll tell you every day
we're making just a little bit

531
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,520
of a dent, a little bit of a
dent.

532
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,080
The big push going to the
holidays and, and again, for

533
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,880
anybody who's listening, I get
it, money's been tight this

534
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,240
year.
But I want you to think about

535
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,320
everything that you have and how
blessed you are.

536
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,360
And when I tell you some of the
letters that we read when kids

537
00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:57,840
asked for stuff from Santa, they
fill out a letter to Santa.

538
00:25:58,120 --> 00:26:00,480
Chris, Mike, what was the number
one thing kids are going to ask

539
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,160
for when they letters to Santa?
Toys.

540
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,240
Yeah, toys.
Computers.

541
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:06,240
Really.
Now.

542
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,600
It's computers, you know.
Yeah, but I'm saying, but you

543
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,240
know, you've got game.
Stations Computer.

544
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,760
What do you think?
What do you think these kids?

545
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,600
What do you think these kids are
asking for?

546
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:19,360
IPods honestly, iPads, AI no no.
These kids, they asked for

547
00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:22,320
people to be happy to see them.
They asked for Oh, you told me

548
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,280
that.
Yeah, they asked.

549
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,680
They asked for meals that they
can eat twice a day.

550
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,640
They they asked not to go hungry
when school's out of session.

551
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,600
They asked for bombing Daddy not
to be drug addicts.

552
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:36,600
They asked for their parents not
to be dead. 40 percent, 40% of

553
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:41,240
our enrolled kid, parent parent
enrolled guardians are foster

554
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,640
homes and grandparents, foster
homes and grandparents, 40%

555
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,960
absent, absent parents, dead
parents, prison parents.

556
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,800
These kids are these kids are
growing up in in there's,

557
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,360
there's this one lady who called
me.

558
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:55,760
She says I, I really, I want to
tell you, I thank you.

559
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,360
I live in a 55 plus community.
I have to sneak my kids.

560
00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,640
I have to sneak the kids in and
out.

561
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,720
They're not allowed to play
outside because we're in a 55

562
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,200
plus community because she has
no way else of supporting them.

563
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,440
She's on Social Security.
I had another lady call me.

564
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,920
She said, hey, I want to let you
know that I had my grandkids

565
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,080
because my kid was in prison and
they gave them to me.

566
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,040
I'm, I'm living, I'm 65 years
old living on Social Security.

567
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,280
I have nothing to give them.
I brought them to this event and

568
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,080
you guys treated us so, so well.
She goes, my daughter got out of

569
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,760
prison, got the kids back and I
haven't seen them since.

570
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,400
But I wanted to let you know how
life changing it was for me.

571
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,360
So I'm signing up to volunteer
this year and I'm bringing my

572
00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:35,440
older grandkids to actually
participate in the events.

573
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:40,200
When I start posting the stuff
that we get, it's it's mind

574
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,000
blowing, mind blowing.
But when you see a kid just

575
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,040
being like, hey, I just want
someone happy to see me, you

576
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:51,920
know, think about that.
Yeah, that's amazing, dude.

577
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,280
It's nuts.
It'll.

578
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,160
Change your life for sure.
Yes, and I'm talking because I'm

579
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,560
just like, you know, I'm so
like.

580
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,480
Well, I was going to say
earlier, man, you guys, it's

581
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,680
obviously your and your
partner's exuberance for what

582
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,720
you're doing that has made this
a success.

583
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,200
I mean, you can feel how much
this means to you.

584
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,560
You know, some people are going
through the motions.

585
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,000
We're letting you talk,
obviously, because we're getting

586
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,720
close to the crunch time for
you.

587
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,400
And this is so near and dear to
your heart.

588
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,400
But your exuberance and your
passion for what you guys have

589
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,000
created is just overwhelming,
man.

590
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,160
Well, like I said, when you
guys, when you come out there, I

591
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,320
know Mike, you won't be there,
but.

592
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,080
I would if I was there.
I mean, that's what your passion

593
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,600
has done for me too.
And I've always said Christmas

594
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,360
is for the kids, man.
Yep, a kid should.

595
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,040
We never do not have a crisp,
but you know they should never

596
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,040
not have this one Christmas.
I love the Angel Tree IDs.

597
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,600
I've done the Angel Trees.
I've go.

598
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,320
Yeah, you have company.
We buy 1020 Angel Trees every

599
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:55,520
year.
Chris, you know you worked for

600
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:56,200
me.
We did it.

601
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,080
Yeah, but I never felt like I
was making enough of a

602
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,880
contribution like I was.
I was, I was I was doing what

603
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,640
most people do.
You know, I donated or you walk

604
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,640
by the Salvation Army.
I gave you 5 bucks.

605
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,560
Well, you know, that's.
Right, right, right, right.

606
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,720
Yeah.
I wanted to, I wanted to create

607
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:18,600
something so awesome that
someday when these kids are

608
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,680
looking back on it, not all
these kids are going to stay in

609
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,480
this kind of poverty situation.
99% of the people we have are

610
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,000
poverty stricken.
They're living in areas, they're

611
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,880
living paycheck to paycheck,
parents lost jobs, are on access

612
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,760
or on Social Security, whatever
it is, right?

613
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:33,680
But these kids aren't always
going to stay there.

614
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,200
They're going to grow up and
they're going to make a

615
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,160
difference in this world and
they're going to change.

616
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,640
Now they have.
You're starting to change lives,

617
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:42,080
right?
Yes.

618
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,440
Right, you're building a
culture.

619
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,520
That's it.
Exactly, exactly.

620
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,720
They're going to remember a
positive experience in one of

621
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,560
the most negative times in their
life.

622
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,920
Right, exactly.
You build the culture, somebody

623
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,080
wants to help.
If there's a little kid who

624
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,560
wants to help, you let them help
because that that is ingrained

625
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,320
in them.
Then they start realizing how

626
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,800
good it feels to help.
And then they'll continue

627
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,600
helping as they as they mature
and grow.

628
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,080
And all of a sudden they're 30
years old and they're helping,

629
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,600
giving back to you being on a
regular basis because why you

630
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,720
let them help when they were
five, 6-7 years old.

631
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,560
Well, here's the other thing.
We have volunteers that come out

632
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,000
that are some of our volunteers
are 1213 years old and they're

633
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,960
on the 7th and 8th year
participating, you know, so as

634
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,440
as the attendees grow up, so do
the volunteers that's.

635
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,520
Amazing.
And some of our are more

636
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,360
experienced volunteers.
They, they like, they're bosses,

637
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:31,480
man.
They're like, Oh yeah, this is

638
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,320
what we do.
You know, they're like, it's so

639
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,360
cool to see a nine year old so
confident in what they're doing.

640
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:37,600
Like, Oh no, I'm in the toy
room.

641
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,680
That's what I'm going to do.
And they're grabbing kids.

642
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,680
So this year we're trying to
streamline a lot of the issues

643
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,000
we've had.
So we're tagging our volunteers

644
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,800
that are bilingual with orange
wristbands.

645
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,360
We're tagging Spanish only with
orange wristbands so you can

646
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,400
connect people.
We, we've really worked on being

647
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,400
able to make the experience.
Hey, if I see you and I'm

648
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,000
Spanish, right, I know this, I
want you to have a good

649
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,240
experience.
They're going to walk up to you

650
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,240
and be like, hey.
You know, so if you get

651
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,680
something from Cuba, I can talk
like Tony Montana and I can

652
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,240
help.
You do that because I don't have

653
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,080
any Cubans.
I can do Cuba, put a code

654
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,760
refugee and then you know, you
could talk about the battle and

655
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,520
if they're, if they're from
Ireland or Scotland, I can help

656
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,520
them definitely.
You know, we talked about the

657
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,200
potato famine.
I hate to say but you're not

658
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,640
getting a wristband.
No wristband for me, no

659
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,320
wristband for.
Me, I wouldn't give you more

660
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,720
either unless I was looking for
Comic Relief.

661
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,720
You're gonna get a T-shirt that
says volunteer on it in English.

662
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:28,600
I can do.
Thank you.

663
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,120
Come again.
Would you like some presents?

664
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,760
Come here, please.
I give you presents, all kinds

665
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,040
of presents.
What kind of presents do you

666
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,120
want?
We have all kinds of presents.

667
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,840
We have presents for everybody.
Give him one that says volunteer

668
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,200
and then in big red letters in
training.

669
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:44,800
In training, volunteer training
wheels fell off Sorry.

670
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,800
That's awesome.
So you have to, we have to make

671
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,480
this an East Valley, West Valley
thing because if you, if you can

672
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,480
start it, if you can start
branching over the East Valley,

673
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,320
that I can be heavily involved.
So then you have both parts of

674
00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,960
the valley.
Right.

675
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,320
That that's the plan.
That's the plan.

676
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,080
Because I think that would be
fantastic.

677
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:06,760
So I'm going to share all your
stuff.

678
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:07,960
You're going to send me some
videos?

679
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,600
Anything else you want to share?
You want to talk about man?

680
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,400
All I'm asking people is to see
in their hearts, you know, if

681
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,760
they can see it in their hearts
to make a difference this year.

682
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,920
You know, realize that we're not
asking you to send us $45,000.

683
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,640
We're asking you to sign up and
donate.

684
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,280
You know your time, your love,
You know your, your, your good

685
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,240
wishes.
Share our links, donate a few

686
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,880
dollars, a few dollars makes a
difference.

687
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,360
And then find a few more people
to to share a few dollars.

688
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,560
This is the real deal.
This is community helping

689
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,160
community.
This is a, as you can tell by

690
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,000
the bags, I'm not sleeping and
we're, we're working as long and

691
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,200
hard as we can.
I woke up this morning just

692
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,800
completely wiped out.
And you know, next week hasn't

693
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,160
even started yet, right?
So I, I, I tell people we're,

694
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,240
you know, we're on the 20th
Christmas is four or five days

695
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,640
away from our event.
The, the event's going to impact

696
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,720
directly people in the
community.

697
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,960
So if you could donate, you
know, please do give what you

698
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,400
can.
I'm not asking you to give more

699
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,920
than you can, but if you can
donate your time.

700
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,600
We need volunteers.
We're we're going to need

701
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,440
massive amounts of volunteers
and.

702
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,520
For me to so for me to come out
on the 20th, I go to website and

703
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,400
I sign up as a volunteer.
Yes.

704
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,600
OK, I'll do that.
The only reason why we want

705
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,780
people to sign up is because it
gives us a better idea of our

706
00:33:21,780 --> 00:33:24,480
T-shirts, shirt sizes and then
obviously who's coming so we can

707
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:25,520
start putting people in the
right.

708
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,640
Places understood And why we
were sitting here listening to

709
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:29,720
your story.
I gave you some money.

710
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:34,240
So there you go.
I didn't add, I didn't add a

711
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,360
comment or anything.
I just, I just, I don't like to,

712
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,680
you know, look at me.
But I did give you some money.

713
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:40,920
I I do see that.
That's how.

714
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,280
So, so you don't.
So you're less than now you're

715
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,560
less than four now you're less
than 45,000.

716
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,160
And I'm probably going to go on
there, do a monthly thing.

717
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,360
I do a month.
Yeah.

718
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,640
Oh, it shows.
It damn it right there.

719
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,400
I thought it would be because I
didn't do notes.

720
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,640
I thought it would be just be
like you couldn't see it.

721
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,320
No, it it, it comes right to my
phone.

722
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,200
I believe me.
I I monitor this stuff.

723
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,720
I I'm constantly reworking
budget.

724
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,600
So like yesterday we were only
going to spend so much at at 5

725
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,199
below we went live, we got a few
more donations.

726
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,920
Yeah, I was like, OK, as the
donations are coming out, I'm

727
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,000
spending another 250, I'm
spending another 500, I'm

728
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,800
spending on this.
So we went what from what our

729
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,800
budget was, we were able to
spend another $3500 yesterday

730
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,239
just from people who donated
while we were on a live video.

731
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,080
Yeah, that's cool.
And I might challenge anybody

732
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,159
watching this that sees this, go
do something.

733
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:28,840
Even if it's 5 bucks, you can do
5 bucks.

734
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,719
I'm going to do a monthly one
too, but I wanted to actually

735
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,600
just see how it worked while
we're on the phone, while we're

736
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,120
on the show here and I see how
it works.

737
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,960
It's really simple to do.
It really took me like 2 minutes

738
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:37,800
to do it.
So not hard to do.

739
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,480
So 5 bucks to 1000 bucks.
I mean, it's, I mean really just

740
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:42,679
don't go out to eat once a
month.

741
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,199
And you can, you can give to the
entire community of Peoria West

742
00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:49,199
Valley.
You can feed clothes and help

743
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,440
have a Christmases for kids that
don't have it.

744
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,120
And like Brian said, it's you're
not getting the ones that that

745
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,400
don't need it.
You're getting the ones that get

746
00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:59,800
the free meals and the free
breakfast.

747
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,480
They're the ones that go to
school on the same clothes every

748
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,200
day.
There's another organization I'm

749
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,720
a part of.
I'm not going to steal your

750
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:06,560
Thunder.
They kind of do the same thing

751
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,160
and they're focused on the title
one school.

752
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,720
So they're focused on the kids
that don't have enough.

753
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:11,920
They're living mouth to mouth.
There's.

754
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,720
A crazy thing.
So Peoria, everything's Peoria

755
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:16,280
of everything north of Bell
Road.

756
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,560
OK Peoria, north of Bell Road,
fairly affluent Peoria, South of

757
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,840
Bell Road.
One of the poorest school

758
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,080
districts in there.
So title one.

759
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,200
But here's the thing.
When these kids don't have

760
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,920
school, right, they're on on
break or they're on on summer

761
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,240
break, how do they eat right?
Most of them don't.

762
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,040
Yeah, they don't.
Yeah, that's that hand to mouth

763
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,080
thing like Lily, you're, you're,
you're living hand to mouth.

764
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,320
Like it's not, it's not a joke.
That's why it pisses me off when

765
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,760
there was somebody I came across
not too long ago, bought a house

766
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,200
for major discount and fixed it,
flipped it.

767
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:56,160
And then, you know, he told me
he gave the proceeds to an

768
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,080
orphanage in in Mexico.
Really.

769
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,480
Really.
Mexico.

770
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,160
Yep.
What about America, man?

771
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,400
What about our backyard?
You live in my backyard and

772
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,600
you're taking the money you post
that you made because oh, I

773
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:08,960
don't need the money.
I've made enough money in my

774
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,120
lifetime and you give it to
another country?

775
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,440
What about our backyard, man?
What about the kids that don't

776
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,840
have enough?
Well, that's what's always

777
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,840
gotten me is ever since I was a
kid, we talked about and, and

778
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,680
I'm not saying kids in other
countries don't need it.

779
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,000
Let's drive.
Let's drive down to central

780
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,240
Phoenix.
Let's drive down.

781
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,720
Let's drive down the the I-17.
Let's drive down the 101, the US

782
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:31,080
60.
Let's see the homeless people

783
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,240
sleeping on the street, right.
Let's see our veterans that are

784
00:36:33,240 --> 00:36:36,760
being left out in the cold that
are that are that are dealing

785
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,680
with PTSD and other emotional,
physical and, and, and, and.

786
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,560
Emotional financial problems.
And we're not, we're not able to

787
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,520
to assist them, but we're able
to give money to assist.

788
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:48,680
It just doesn't make.
Sense to me?

789
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:49,680
No, I agree.
No, I agree.

790
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,040
I understand something.
We are year round organization.

791
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,520
This is our this is our top
flagship event.

792
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,800
So the reason why the monthly
donations are important is

793
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,600
because we do other things.
We feed those title one kids

794
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,760
during the summer.
We do backpack drives.

795
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,080
Last year 2500 backpacks, we
helped 300 teachers.

796
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,280
We don't just supply the kids.
We're always going one step

797
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:12,560
beyond.
So we do the backpack drive as

798
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,640
well, which helps the kids and
the teachers.

799
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,560
So there's a lot of kids.
We don't just give them

800
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,760
backpacks, we give them haircuts
and we get them my exams and we

801
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,520
get them.
I mean, think about the fact of

802
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,960
the depth of our events is not
just it's not just one sided.

803
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,760
It's like, oh, you came in and
got a backpack.

804
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,040
Cool.
No, we got you a back to school

805
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:31,920
haircut.
We got you a vision test to make

806
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,640
sure we're on the right thing.
We find you a dental provider.

807
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:37,200
We get you assistance.
There's there's people who will

808
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,720
show up that are hiring.
So the people that are lost

809
00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:42,120
jobs.
So we're, we're adding more and

810
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,400
more and more and more and more
to actually put you on a better

811
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,000
path for that.
Because there's kids that are

812
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,920
like, I was afraid to go to
school because I was like a bum.

813
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,240
Foster houses that bring 10:15
kids that come in and they're

814
00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:54,960
just like, they don't care what
the craft packs.

815
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,960
They're getting a haircut from a
professional Barber.

816
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,000
That's awesome.
Is that Wooten Wooten

817
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,480
Barbershop?
No, it's.

818
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,400
Come on, Kyle.
It's actually the Barber call

819
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:09,960
that sends out 15/20/2020 people
and they cut hair 5/6 an hour

820
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,640
for straight 8 hours.
OK, so this talks about a little

821
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,120
bit what you just what you just
touched on.

822
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,000
So the backpack drives, This is
why Brian said it's an it's an

823
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,760
annual thing.
It's not just it's not just day

824
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,200
of giving.
So you have a backpack drives

825
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,120
right there, right?
Then you have your holiday

826
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,720
sport, then you have your year
round programs and you have all

827
00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:27,040
your local partners.
So this is something you can

828
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,960
make an impact on on a monthly
basis, year round, not just one

829
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:30,880
time we'll send.
You.

830
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,040
Yeah, go ahead, go ahead.
We'll send you newsletters,

831
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,080
you're gonna get pictures,
you're gonna hear letters from

832
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,640
the community, you're gonna get
videos.

833
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,120
The idea is we're not.
We're not just wanting you to

834
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,000
donate your money.
Honestly, the money allows us to

835
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,240
facilitate the operation, the
rental, the facilities, allows

836
00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:50,360
us to know where we are
budgetarily, so we know where

837
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,360
we're at when we shop.
We shop as a 5O1C3 so we don't

838
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,520
pay taxes.
We're able to negotiate deals

839
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,520
with suppliers.
So there's our dollars.

840
00:38:58,520 --> 00:38:59,960
Go a lot further, right?
Yeah.

841
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,920
But more importantly, we're
connecting with you as a partner

842
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,000
in our event.
We need people who are

843
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,560
emotionally we invested as much
as financially and sometimes the

844
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,960
emotional investment is greater
for us than the financial

845
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,200
investment.
Because when we need volunteers

846
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,640
to show up and 700 and 5800
volunteers are needed.

847
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,320
Think about how many I'm going
to need when that events 20,000

848
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:24,360
kids.
What if we take over the

849
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,880
Cardinal Stadium?
I want you to think about this.

850
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,560
I want you to think we grew from
a field, A1 acre field and

851
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,520
helped 100 kids and fed 40
families to to where we're at.

852
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,520
We're going to feed over 2000.
Well, in order for us to handle

853
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,400
20,000 I need a bigger venue.
Yep, right.

854
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,840
Yep.
Wouldn't you like to be a part

855
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,200
of that?
Like to, to, to, to, like to,

856
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,920
like, be involved in that, to
say, yeah, I do that.

857
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,120
The mayor of Peoria came out
last year and said this is

858
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,000
singly the largest day of giving
in the state of Arizona.

859
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,320
Singly, the single largest day
of giving the state of Arizona

860
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,880
100% of the community dollars
goes back into the community.

861
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,520
That's rare.
That's absolutely rare.

862
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,960
So you want to find out more

It's not that hard to do it.

869
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,560
I donated money where we're
sitting here talking, so it's

870
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,240
really simple to do.
You can do PayPal, credit card,

00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,720
Complex, all the information on
the website.

876
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:46,320
So you definitely want to be
involved in this.

877
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:47,920
You definitely want to do
something that's going to help

878
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,200
stay within the community
because that's the biggest thing

879
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,240
we talked about a lot of these
big organizations of American

880
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:55,480
Red Cross, all those kind of
folks, none of the dollars stay

881
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,720
locally.
Brian set this up.

882
00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:00,280
Brian and David Bell set this up
to everything stays local.

883
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,720
It helps local people, helps
local kids, families.

884
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,520
It's fantastic.
And everybody likes to give

885
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,840
during the Christmas season.
So let's just champion everybody

886
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,640
to do, you know, do a one time
and instead of a monthly because

887
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,280
again, monthly is going to help
him year round.

888
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,760
Right there, man.
Yeah, it is.

889
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,280
I think the most important thing
that Brian said in this whole

890
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,640
time is take a look around at
what you have, right?

891
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,560
It's real easy to say, well,
money's tight for me too.

892
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,760
Well, is it, you know, when
you're, I'm sitting here looking

893
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:33,560
at a $3000 computer and you
know, it's real hard to say I

894
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,600
don't have $25 to donate to your
cause or anybody else's 'cause

895
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,320
when I have so much, right?
That's the most important thing

896
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:42,680
that you said during this whole
time.

897
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:44,960
Look at what you have.
Yeah.

898
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,360
Well, I think, I think, I think
what happens is, is we all have

899
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:54,040
this version of where we're at,
right?

900
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:59,200
And as we get more, we have more
bills, we have more stuff, we

901
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:00,800
have a different version of what
we have.

902
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,280
And I don't have this.
I don't have this.

903
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,320
It's not about being thankful
for what we have.

904
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,800
It's about wondering what we
don't have or being like on that

905
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,080
pursuit.
That's what that's what the

906
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,040
American dream is, right?
The pursuit of buying more shit.

907
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,240
And let's be honest.
Otherwise.

908
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,880
Otherwise Walmarts and Targets
wouldn't exist.

909
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,320
Well, that's why what Chris said
is important.

910
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,880
You cannot go out to dinner one
night a month, right?

911
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:26,560
To provide somebody else with, I
think you said it when we tried

912
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:30,400
to do this the first time, how
much does $25 feed for?

913
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,200
Families and and be honest about
this.

914
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,600
You can't go out to dinner
anymore for less than 100 bucks.

915
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,000
Of course you so and if you have
a family of four, you're talking

916
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,080
$200 easy.
So stay.

917
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,480
Go get a rotisserie chicken from
Costco for 6 bucks.

918
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,240
And instead of that $200 feed
your family of four, it's going

919
00:42:45,240 --> 00:42:49,520
to feed 24 exactly right?
Yeah, so just take one night a

920
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,160
month, go buy a Costco chicken,
go buy a bag of potatoes and get

921
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,160
some corn, sweet corn, make it
at home and take that 200 bucks

922
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:56,920
and give it to Brian.
Hey, man.

923
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:58,960
There you go.
I'm Chris.

924
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,640
He's Mike.
This is Brian Morse day of

925
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,760
givingaz.org.
You want to go check out the

926
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,120
website?
You want to go help this man do

927
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,160
what he does on a grand scale?
It all stays in Arizona.

928
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,840
It all stays in the community.
I can't think of a better thing

929
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,600
to do.
So if you don't live in Arizona,

930
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,000
but you want to help us, that's
great.

931
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,920
Do so because why not, right?
Make you know, it feeds your

932
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,200
soul.
Giving back feeds your soul.

933
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:20,800
It feeds my soul.
That's why I do it so much and I

934
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,920
love doing it.
So with that holiday season,

935
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,280
it's a bad time of year for a
lot of people.

936
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,560
You get depressed, suicidal,
you, you feel unworthy, all that

937
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,880
kind of jazz.
Go scream in a pillow, go write

938
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,360
in a journal, go workout, go
run.

939
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:37,760
Go find somebody to talk to.
If you if you leave this world

940
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,000
because you're feeling suicidal,
you're going to leave a hole in

941
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,320
somebody else's heart.
So don't do that.

942
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,760
If you can't someone find
someone to talk to, text 988.

943
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,480
Somebody's there standing by
right now to talk to you, to

944
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,640

Tomorrow is a better day with

945
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:49,680
you in it.
I'm Chris.

946
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:50,680

Thanks again Brian for coming

00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:59,920
back on and best of luck with
your event and come back in and

950
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:02,840
tell us how some how it went.
Yeah, and sometime next year we

951
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,080
have to have your alter ego, Mr.
Peptide on the show.

952
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,680
Man, I got some new stuff for
you on that one.

953
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,680
New regulations coming down.
This is a little teaser for

954
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,080
that.
New regulations are coming down

955
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,920
that are gonna make it a big
change in the peptide world.

956
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,040
So the educated are gonna be the
ones that are able to move

957
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,560
forward on these journeys.
They're really trying to take

958
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:24,360
away.
Sorry to transgress, but they're

959
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,800
really trying to to put the the
power back in big pharma because

960
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,560
they're losing control over the
the money making cash cow.

961
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,800
I was be honest with you, you
don't need that.

962
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,880
You don't need big pharma to do
peptides.

963
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,120
I was literally going to say,
Brian, make sure that you

964
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,160
schedule that show with him
because you know that's

965
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,480
something that's I'm super
interested in that.

966
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,720
So if you got new information
that you'd like to get out to

967
00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:48,400
everybody, I'm that's the first
guy that wants to hear it.

968
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,000
Yep.
It, it's right there.

969
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,400
It's all about discipline and
discipline and everything you do

970
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,760
in your life, you know, you have
to, you have to run your

971
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,120
businesses.
You have to, you have to, to be

972
00:44:58,120 --> 00:44:59,680
discipline in your business.
You have to be discipline in

973
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,120
your marriage, to be discipline
in your, in, in your parenting.

974
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,120
You need to be disciplined in
how you take care of yourself.

975
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:05,400
And that's really what it's all
about.

976
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,720
You have one life to live, man.
One soul you got.

977
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:08,840
Yeah.
Might as well take care of it.

978
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,040
Until next time.
Peace.

979
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,040
Peace.
Don't go anywhere, Brian.

980
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:18,280
We got to make sure.
We don't want to find this stuff

981
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:30,580
for you.
Look the tablet on your journey.

982
00:45:30,580 --> 00:45:41,060
You will go.
Feel the trail behind your eyes.

983
00:45:42,380 --> 00:45:48,860
Feel yourself and meet you.
Go take a moment, listen to you,

984
00:45:49,020 --> 00:45:52,420
see it.
Watch the battle that you bought

985
00:45:52,700 --> 00:45:57,320
as we are.
Watch the battle, but you fuck

986
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,720
Will.
Who is this baby?

987
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:24,200
Come down here, we haven't found
something.

988
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:31,880
You see the sand from fighting.
Wait for the dead when it's.

989
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:36,120
Closer out here.
For the wind you ain't no

990
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:40,200
quizzes.
Little plants found you, Should

991
00:47:40,240 --> 00:47:44,840
you put it on the almighty bed.
You got a dream.

992
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:52,680
Who in your life to keep our
soul in every day?

993
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:57,960
Take your turn behind your eyes.
Feel the soul revolution now.

994
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:06,840
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah.

995
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:42,480
Take a
moment.
