Super excited to have Gail from Big Pause joining us in the studio.
You doing, Gail great, Thanks John, excited to have you here now.
First of all, we just I thought it was really cool had the
guitar auction recently. Matt Rosberg was the winner of the guitar and again,
what a neat thing. That was such a nice blessing from Dan and he
absolutely loved you and Big Pause and all that you guys do. So I
think it's kind of cool that that Matt got it because Matt and Dan knew
each other and I think it's really cool that we were able to do that
for a big pause. Are we allowed to say how much the guitar raised.
I don't think we've ever mentioned that, having he was online, so
I'm sure we can say it. Okay, it's forty and fifty dollars.
So that was outstanding. And the generosity of everybody involved in that, for
all of the people who bid and were following and getting involved, and of
course Dan and his heart as big as the sky. Yeah, yes,
for doing that. I thought it was funny. Matt was telling me that
one of his good friends bid against him twice just to get the bid up.
Oh yeah, I just against you against you? Well, why did
you do that? Well, we've got to get the money up. That's
pretty cool. But he was the first bidder too, Matt was I was
at the event and we announced it at the event on the fourteenth of October,
and he came over and showed me his phone. He goes, I
got the I got the first bid. It was the first bid and the
last and he got really cool, which is really really really cool. And
if you want, you can see photos of the guitar at Facebook dot com,
slash Sunny Radio, and there's pictures of matt On there and pictures of
you and matt On there as well, And now we're going to talk about
because that's that's done. So it's too late to make a donation of that.
But it's never too late to make a donation A big pause, is
it? Never? Ever? And this is really cool. There's a ten
thousand dollars donation match opportunity. So if somebody listening wants to just donate the
full ten grand, they could, right absolutely, I mean say that,
but we've got somebody who stepped up and said I'm going to donate up to
ten thousand dollars. So as people are making donations right now, they're going
to match your donation. So if you're saying, hey, I can't give
forty seven to fifty, you know that's a lot of money. But boy,
I could give a couple hundred dollars, well they could match a couple
hundred I could give maybe one thousand dollars. Well, now it's like given
two thousand dollars. And a lot of the people that are donating are they
mainly businesses or private individuals who would be the people who would typically donate to
something like this. You know, there is no typical donor. It's pretty
evenly balanced. Businesses, especially small businesses in this area are so pro what
we're doing because they're pro dog and they're pro veteran and they know that whatever
is raised here stays here. So we've got the involvement of small businesses,
we have larger businesses who look at sponsorships for tax donation receipts purposes, and
then of course the general public. So there's no real demographic of us saying
will only these people give. It's across the board. And right now we're
sitting in the third quarter of twenty twenty three. There are probably some businesses
out there who maybe haven't done their donations or their sponsorships completely for the year.
They have some money left in a budget if they would like to make
a contribution, whether it's you know, a monthly thing, or if they
say, hey, we're going to make this donation right now in twenty twenty
three, that would still be good for this year and they get to write
that off on their taxes. But if they would like to do that,
there's still time to do that, and now is a great time because of
this donation match absolutely, and we throw the challenge flag up there for anyone
because whether it's your individual twenty dollars or your company's five thousand dollars, regardless
of the amount, this donor is going to match every dollar. So whatever
you donate doubles in theory. And if you're listening and you're going I want
to match what they're matching, I'll give you ten grand to match as well.
If somebody listening this is I would do that. How cool would that
be? That would be amazing, amazing. I know there are people out
there who could do that, and Heidi could probably do that. I've got
eight dollars to my name, so I couldn't do it, but there are
a lot of people that probably could. But if you would like to make
a difference, this is a great thing. And how many people officially work
at Big Pause Canine. We have zero people on paycheck on sorry payroll,
yeah. Zero. And one of the things that I will say, I
know several people who are connected to Big Pause Canine some of the nicest,
kindest, most amazing people that I've ever met. You guys have got a
good team of people and the people who work with you care a lot about
this organization as well. It's a passion. It's a passion for all of
us. We believe in the cause. We've seen the difference. We've seen
the difference that these dogs make in the lives of veterans and first responders,
and that encourages every single one of us to work harder and do better.
And we also see the difference it makes in the dog's live because a lot
of our dogs, not all, but a lot of our dogs are brought
in from rescue situations, and so when you see so much good coming out
of it, it just ignites that passion in people to want to do more.
I think that's amazing. Gail, thank you for coming in. I
appreciate a bunch. Thank you for having me. Always great to see you.
It is always great see you too. If you would like to make

I'm on the road. I can't complain. It's training out that stuff,
but everything else well, we're excited to have you in Sue Falls this
evening. And where have you been recently? You've been going kind of all
over the place. But what are some of the places you've been to recently?
Here? Most recently, I've been to Kansas City, Worcestern, Massachusetts,
New York City, Burningham, Alabama, Ashvilles up North Carolina South.
I don't know that one of the Carolinas, so you kindy that's ow.
They're not all by each other. This is a big This is like you're
all over the place. Man, I've been bouncing around since Augias. That
is very very cool. And and there are probably some folks listening that are
hearing that voice going that sounds awfully familiar because you're the voice of Comedy Central.
Is that right? I am don't tell anybody, but yeah, I
have the voice of Comedy Central. How did you swing that gig. That
sounds like a pretty good gig. It's the best, one of the best
gigs I've ever gotten. It's like working there and working at the car wash,
two most important jobs in my life. I think that's probably a little
better than the car wash, isn't it? You know, more benefits.
But I get to steal that, so you know it doesn't even know so
And how long have you been the voice of Comedy Central. I think I
want to say I started in twenty nineteen, so about four years now.
That is awesome. Well, congrats on that. I think that is very
very cool, and I'm excited for the show and Sue Fall tonight. I
get to see you there. I'm the MC, so we'll get to work
together and then the show tonight. When people come out and watch you do
the program, what can they expect if they've never been to one of your
shows before, Oh man, the best show that they've ever seen on a
Thursday night. I think I can't speak for the weekend but I think it's
going to be a pretty solid pre weekend show. I think it's going to
be a really good show. And what kind of stuff do you talk about
on stage? Is there stuff that you're known for a certain type of humor,
not particularly it's just sort of like what I'm going on, but I
got going on in my life at the time, where I'm from, where
I've been. It's eclectic, but it's nothing too specific. I think we
got something for everybody, so I'm excited. Well, the stuff that I
have seen you do in the past, I think is fantastic, and you're
a very funny guy. And I love your stage like your stage presence.
You know, there are some people that seem like they're almost afraid to be
on stage. You seem very comfortable on like you would almost be uncomfortable to
not be on stage. That is one hundred percent right. Do not make
eye contact with me off stage. I do not enjoy. So coming up
tonight at nine o'clock and it's at the Icon Events Center also known as Dadad
Gastro Pub, but it's on Main Street and Sioux Falls. I'm going to
throw a link to make it easy if you'd like to find some tickets as
well. And again there's a couple other folks on the show ahead of time,
but you'll be on tonight in Sue Falls. Have you been to South
Dakota before. Have you done shows here before, David, I have been,
but not to sue falls. I've performed rapid a few times. Nice.
Well, we're excited to have you on this side of the state,
and I think you'll have a good time. It's usually a pretty good time.
And again, it's a Thursday night, so you're not competing with a
whole bunch of stuff. We hope to get a bunch of folks out,
so if there's some folks that maybe don't have plans tonight, guys, come
out join us. It'll be fun. And now, when you go out
on the road like this, do you bring merch as well? Do you
sell stuff at the shows? Oh? Yeah, I got hats, I
got everything. I got hats, I got shirts, I got little meal
boxes with my faces on them. Whatever you need. And also bring me

Icon. I guess I'll have to check and see. Now. Now,
I'll make sure that we hook you up with some chislick while you're in town

by the Sieux Falls Fun Page. West Sioux studios and sunny ninety three point
three. It was on this day, October twenty sixth, eighteen eighty seven.
We've all had days at work, but I bet none of us experienced
a day like this one. On the very first day of business for the
Seux Falls Gas Company, a gas leak in their warehouse leveled the building and
caused damage and vibrations felt over twenty miles away. The real story here was
the competition between the gas company and the electric company for a citywide contract.
They both wanted to install and service street lights. The gas company won the
contract, but the work was slow running the pipe and newspaper reports of gas
leaks and explosions from across the country had people quite nervous, eager to wrap
up the infrastructure and build out just to prove how safe the natural gas lighting
could be. Somebody missed a step in the inspection, and the gas company
made sure everyone's worst nightmares came true. The leak was fixed, the damage
was repaired, and the company did its best to recover. But you'll not
be surprised to hear that Sue Falls was one of the earliest adopters of electric
power in the Midwest. This day in Sue Falls history has been brought to
you by The Suit Falls fun Page, west Zus Studios, and Sonny ninety
