12
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:35.280
<v Speaker 2>since I didn't have the spine to sign up for

13
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.679
<v Speaker 2>the American military myself, and I appreciate the service everyone

14
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:40.880
<v Speaker 2>does has for our country. It just means the world

15
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.520
<v Speaker 2>to me to be able to spread the news about veterans, causes,

16
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 2>veterans events, helping veterans dealing with issues mental health and otherwise,

17
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:51.719
<v Speaker 2>but also celebrating, of course, the American veteran and somebody

18
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.200
<v Speaker 2>knows more about that than probably me. In studio, Matt Tamaris,

22
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.519
<v Speaker 2>Which is so cool that you've partnered with Patriots Landing.

23
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.159
<v Speaker 2>Patriots Landing and Matt, it's great to have you back

24

<v Speaker 1>Brother. Thanks.

26
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.760
<v Speaker 2>You raised so far about sixteen thousand dollars for Patriots

27
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.239
<v Speaker 2>Landing and you have bought or we have collectively through

28
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.799
<v Speaker 2>our donations, two five hundred and thirteen beers. So what

29
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.640
<v Speaker 2>you do is you donate ten bucks to vets and

30
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Bruce seven dollars buys the beer, which is about the

31
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 2>going rate for your average craft beer these days.

32
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Sure, three dollars goes to Patriots Landing.

33
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I think we're at about we're over three

34
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:40.680
<v Speaker 3>thousand beers at this point.

35
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:42.400
<v Speaker 4>I haven't updated in a gun on it.

36
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:47.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, you got three ten since I gave you a

37
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>donation this morning. Satterns ten veterans out there are going

38
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.120
<v Speaker 2>to get some love. And I loved it again. Patriots

39
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Landing is an outstanding organization. I can just do that

40
00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:01.480
<v Speaker 2>real quick. Patriots Landing dot org. These are so awesome.

41
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>They have a wood shop and they make these handmade,

42
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>handcrafted by veteran items you know the Patriot flag, you

43
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.919
<v Speaker 2>got the the nine which is an American flag that's

44
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 2>got nine millimeter spent casings in lieu of the stars,

45
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:19.520
<v Speaker 2>the wonderful cross they have which is neat but all kinds.

46
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.240
<v Speaker 2>And it's all started with them making the flag boxes,

47
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 2>which are the exclusive flag boxes used at Arlington National Cemetery.

48
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:29.800
<v Speaker 2>And right on the back you'll see the name of

49
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.159
<v Speaker 2>the veteran who crafted the box. So all of these

50
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:35.400
<v Speaker 2>things are available at Patriots Landing dot org. But more fundamentally,

51
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:39.039
<v Speaker 2>it's an organization that brings veterans together. It's like a

52
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.879
<v Speaker 2>shared space, almost like a you know, a club or

53
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 2>fraternity for veterans to share their experiences and maybe get

54
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 2>through troubled times all while working on these projects. People

55
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.400
<v Speaker 2>go and visit it, and I encourage everybody go to

56
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Patriots Landing dot organ then schedule a visit to go

57
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:56.680
<v Speaker 2>see what they're doing. They love when folks swing by

58
00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:59.120
<v Speaker 2>and you'll be inspired. And I know you're inspired. You

59
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>That's why U t up with them.

60

<v Speaker 4>I love it.

64
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:09.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you helped build it.

65
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 2>I guess well, you know it's from the from the

66
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.039
<v Speaker 2>from the files of every little bit counts. That's what

67
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>vets and bruises all about. Yeah, so anyway, you got

68
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.319
<v Speaker 2>I went last year on the bus tour honor bus.

69
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 2>You were not there. I wasn't You did not show

70
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 2>what you were out of town. I think you were going.

71
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:27.520
<v Speaker 2>You went to a concert, didn't you.

72
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:31.080
<v Speaker 3>It was a family, family vacation. We went to a concert.

73
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm surprised you survived that one. Anyway, we don't need

74
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.879
<v Speaker 3>to go to details about the concert, but uh, I'll

75
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 3>tell you it was.

76
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>A hell of a good time.

77
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:39.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

78
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:41.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, my son and I went and we just it

79
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>was great.

80
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:44.919
<v Speaker 2>You got on the bus, you go from brewery to brewery,

81
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.240
<v Speaker 2>and there's all kinds of fun and games that go

82
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 2>along with this. I'm not going to reveal anything you

83
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.240
<v Speaker 2>told me about this year's event, but let's talk about

84
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:54.120
<v Speaker 2>the details on that.

85
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.639
<v Speaker 1>How many people can go? Do we?

86
00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.360
<v Speaker 2>Is it still open to sign up for veterans? Can

87
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:01.400
<v Speaker 2>people just show up at any one of the stops

88
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:01.960
<v Speaker 2>along the way.

89
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 1>How does it work?

90
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:02.960
<v Speaker 4>Right?

91
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.840
<v Speaker 3>So the bus is already full, and you know, we

92
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:10.280
<v Speaker 3>have two school buses. I have to keep a couple

93
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.199
<v Speaker 3>of seats empty in case people need to stretch out.

94
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.280
<v Speaker 3>But I've I think we've were at like ninety or

95
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.079
<v Speaker 3>eighty eight or ninety people this year. It's nuts, man,

96
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.759
<v Speaker 3>And I thought, like, you know, grabbing a second bus

97
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.839
<v Speaker 3>was going to alleviate my standby list that everybody gets

98
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:25.240
<v Speaker 3>on there always like, hey man, I want to go

99
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.480
<v Speaker 3>put me on a standby list. My stand by list

100
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.560
<v Speaker 3>is five times longer than it was last year. So

101
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:31.519
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to get as many people on as I can.

102
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.680
<v Speaker 3>But you know, it's full at this point except for

103
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 3>a couple of seats that I say for maybe a

104
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.560
<v Speaker 3>few of your listeners. But if you want to come

105
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.120
<v Speaker 3>to the events, these are open to the public. So

106
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 3>I'll be posting on vetsen Brus this week the Facebook

107
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 3>page and the website what the schedule is going to be.

108
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.240
<v Speaker 3>If you're if you feel like you want to come

109
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.560
<v Speaker 3>down and see us and say hi and take part

110
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.560

111
00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:57.600
<v Speaker 3>come on through.

112
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 4>It'll be a great time.

113
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.079
<v Speaker 2>It's throughout the year of the week so I mean,

114
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.160
<v Speaker 2>this isn't just a one time event per year. You're

115
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:07.720
<v Speaker 2>you're buying beers for veterans all year round. And also

116
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:12.079
<v Speaker 2>you're the flag boxes thanks to Patriots Landing operate as

117
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.279
<v Speaker 2>donation centers too. Yeah, they've turned them into like piggy banks. Yeah,

118
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.199
<v Speaker 2>donation boxes can throw money in any any bar that's

119
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:20.920
<v Speaker 2>assisting you. And there are quite a few bars out

120
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:24.000
<v Speaker 2>there that have the donation boxes in them, so throughout

121
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 2>the year. So what do you to show up someplace

122
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:27.360
<v Speaker 2>and you find out someone's a veteran and you buy

123
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 2>them a beer.

124
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:28.240
<v Speaker 4>That's it.

125
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:32.360
<v Speaker 3>I look for hats, you know, I'm getting pretty good

126
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.319
<v Speaker 3>at I'm about fifty to fifty, I guess. Sometimes I

127
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:36.759
<v Speaker 3>go up to folks and they're like, no, I'm not,

128
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:38.319
<v Speaker 3>and I just think, well, you look like a vet,

129
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.160
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean. If they got a hat

130
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:42.720
<v Speaker 3>on or they got a tattoo that you know says it,

131
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.879
<v Speaker 3>then I know for sure. But yeah, I just wherever

132
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:47.920
<v Speaker 3>I go, man, I'm looking for you guys, and if

133
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:49.680
<v Speaker 3>I have a donation, I'm gonna buy a.

136
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:59.360

<v Speaker 2>time I pull it up, I'm gonna look for that.

154
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:39.959
<v Speaker 2>But what day of the week is it?

155
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.879
<v Speaker 3>This is next Saturday, so November ninth. That Satursday is

156
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.240
<v Speaker 3>on Monday. So we always take them out on Saturday

157
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.160
<v Speaker 3>so they have a little time to recover.

158
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you get them home at a reasonable time too,

159
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:53.680
<v Speaker 2>unless just stay out afterwards.

160
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:55.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no one's going to stop you from.

161
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.519
<v Speaker 2>Getting off the party bus and walk them back into

162
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:02.160
<v Speaker 2>the brewery and and and continueing the festivities.

163
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.240
<v Speaker 1>But it starts at listenerman.

164
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Every years that's the main stop.

165
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:11.240
<v Speaker 3>They have the Operation Flintlock Release that's with the Marine

166
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.800
<v Speaker 3>Corps and you know, I think they're raising money for

167
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:17.839
<v Speaker 3>toys for tots on that one. But uh, they have

168
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:19.800
<v Speaker 3>the Marine Corps toast every year and you saw it

169
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:20.279
<v Speaker 3>last year.

170
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Man.

171
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.360
<v Speaker 3>It's about thirty forty five minutes and they go through

172
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.720
<v Speaker 3>all these battles and I mean it's moving. It's a

173
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.720
<v Speaker 3>powerful says I. You know, I had never heard that before.

174
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:31.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

175
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh, sit listening. Oh my god, this is a thing, man.

176
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.079
<v Speaker 3>And you hear thirty forty five minutes, Like that's a

177
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:38.800
<v Speaker 3>long time to sit down and talk and do toast too.

178
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.839
<v Speaker 3>But man, I was I was glued to this like

179
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:43.040
<v Speaker 3>speaker the whole time.

180
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, it was.

181
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:47.079
<v Speaker 2>It was fascinating. Yeah, and you're drinking beer anyway, so

182
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:49.079
<v Speaker 2>rather than talking to the bud sitting at the table,

183
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.600
<v Speaker 2>you're listening to this wonderful toast and yeah, you know,

184
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.040
<v Speaker 2>maybe hearing something for the first time. You hadn't heard

185
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:55.600
<v Speaker 2>that is for those folks that didn't serve in the

186
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.439
<v Speaker 2>Marines anyway. But so that's taking place at Listenman. Should

187
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:02.560
<v Speaker 2>we spend noon until one thirty, get on the bus

188
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.240
<v Speaker 2>and the bus then heads on over to Fretboard. In

189
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:07.839
<v Speaker 2>Fretboard Brewering and Blue Ash love their beers, and that

190
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.800
<v Speaker 2>starts at one forty five and you're there to three

191
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:14.720
<v Speaker 2>point fifteen. Chostracker just said he will probably join you

192
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:15.399
<v Speaker 2>at Fretboard.

193
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:16.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh nice.

194
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:17.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I asked him if he wanted to see it

195
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:19.120
<v Speaker 3>on the bus this year. I hadn't heard from him,

196
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:20.639
<v Speaker 3>but I'm glad he's gonna come out. Man, I want

197
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.439
<v Speaker 3>him to see it. I think it's there's something in

198
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.639
<v Speaker 3>hearing about it and some you know, seeing it. It

199
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:27.759
<v Speaker 3>makes a big difference. Man, it's a cool thing.

200
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.079
<v Speaker 2>Well, and you got something going on at each brewery too,

201
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.600
<v Speaker 2>So for example, you mentioned the Marine Corps toast Listenerman

202
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:36.399
<v Speaker 2>Brewery when you get to Fretboard. In addition to drinking beers,

203
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:38.320
<v Speaker 2>which is always good, veterans drink for free.

204
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:41.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Yeah, as long as I have donations, I'll run

205
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:41.600
<v Speaker 4>them out.

206
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:46.720
<v Speaker 2>And got a lot and I know, so at Fretboard

207
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.600
<v Speaker 2>you're doing the saluting our Vietnam heroes a tribute of honor.

208
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Before the show started, Matt, you had mentioned how much

209
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.080
<v Speaker 2>you were really hoping that you get a huge contingent

210
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.440
<v Speaker 2>of Vietnam veterans to show up, maybe make a pit

211
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:02.440
<v Speaker 2>stop over at this particular brewery or that one.

212
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:04.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if you're around and you're a Vietnam vet or

213
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, a Vietnam vet, bring them through. My dad

214
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.960
<v Speaker 3>was a Vietnam VET, so we went to we went

215
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.399
<v Speaker 3>to veteran events all time, and he would always be like, man,

216
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:15.360
<v Speaker 3>that never happened. When we came home, you know what

217
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:17.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, He's like, look at this, and he's like,

218
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:19.960
<v Speaker 3>it was not like this. You know, we were getting

219
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.679
<v Speaker 3>spat on or you know, call it all kinds of names.

220
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 3>So I heard that my whole life, and when Fret

221
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.679
<v Speaker 3>Bog gave me the opportunity to create my own event,

222
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:30.320
<v Speaker 3>I was like, we gotta do something for them. So

223
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.399
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of honoring my dad, you know what I mean.

224
00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:34.840
<v Speaker 3>We're gonna we're gonna bring these guys in. We got

225
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:38.840
<v Speaker 3>Craig McKee from Channel nine News. He's going to be

226
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:41.639
<v Speaker 3>the presenter. Awesome, We're gonna pack that room. Up, we're

227
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.799
<v Speaker 3>gonna really honor these folks and just show them some love,

228
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:46.799
<v Speaker 3>the love they they should have got.

229
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.120
<v Speaker 2>And of course everyone will be there primarily to see

230
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.960
<v Speaker 2>just Trecker. But yeah, right, of course, now you know

231
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:57.600
<v Speaker 2>that's what was a really moving thing about the most

232
00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:59.559
<v Speaker 2>recent honor flight. And they had more and more Vietnam

233
00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:02.240
<v Speaker 2>veterans on honor flights, but this most recent one was

234
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:07.039
<v Speaker 2>almost exclusively Vietnam veterans. Yeah, and from I heard a

235
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.120
<v Speaker 2>massive allergy outbreaks during that return home ceremony at CVG.

236
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Just given the veterans, they're the welcome home that they

237
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:17.480
<v Speaker 2>never got. Just like your dad, we love you, guys,

238
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:20.879
<v Speaker 2>and apologies on behalf of all Americans who were so

239
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:24.879
<v Speaker 2>shortsighted and callous and mean as to spit upon you

240
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:28.480
<v Speaker 2>because you served your country and followed your leader's orders,

241
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.759
<v Speaker 2>as stupid as they may have been. Anyway, March first,

242
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:34.039
<v Speaker 2>Brewing is the third stop, that one you're gonna You're

243
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:35.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna get over there by four pm?

244
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Is that right?

245
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

246
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:37.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that'll be that.

247
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:41.000
<v Speaker 3>That's about the time we'll be rolling in, depending on

248
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:44.519
<v Speaker 3>traffic and stuff. But we're doing a all branch freedom

249
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:46.519
<v Speaker 3>toast down there and that's going to be hosted by

250
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.320
<v Speaker 3>a good friend of mine. He's been with Bets and

251
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.120
<v Speaker 3>Bruce since the very first event he came to. His

252
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:55.360
<v Speaker 3>name Sean Rohr. He works with the Easter Seals. He

253
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.600
<v Speaker 3>put together a toast similar to the Marine Corps host

254
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:00.919
<v Speaker 3>because everyone loves it so much. But he said, hey, man,

255
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.399
<v Speaker 3>I want to do one where we we toast to

256
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:04.240
<v Speaker 3>all the branches.

257
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:07.120
<v Speaker 2>So okay, now you already mentioned all the buses are

258
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:10.279
<v Speaker 2>full except for three three seats yep, and that the

259
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:12.919
<v Speaker 2>expense of the bus is coming from, you know, out

260
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.159
<v Speaker 2>of the proceeds. But you know, you get close to

261
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:16.960
<v Speaker 2>the point where you know, do I give money to

262
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Patriots Landing or do I reserve money for the third

263
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.679
<v Speaker 2>bus for next year so we can take the stress

264
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:27.759
<v Speaker 2>off of Matt Tamaris's household budget. There is right there

265
00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:31.080
<v Speaker 2>at Vetsenbrus dot com a link to sponsor and honor

266
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:32.039
<v Speaker 2>bus and you can do that.

267
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:32.919
<v Speaker 1>It's really easy to do.

268
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.039
<v Speaker 2>Just throw a little money at it and we'll build

269
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.519
<v Speaker 2>up the coffers to have more honor busses for next year.

270
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:43.039
<v Speaker 2>But you can also be a sponsor. You got somebody

271
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:44.919
<v Speaker 2>did did someone sign up to be a sponsor again.

272
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:47.679
<v Speaker 3>Oh, we have tons coming in. Man, We've we've sold

273
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:51.519
<v Speaker 3>out the Level two sponsorship. Level one is it's one

274
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:54.759
<v Speaker 3>thousand dollars for sponsorship. We have three of those spots left,

275
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:57.960
<v Speaker 3>and then we have unlimited one hundred dollars sponsorships. So

276
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:00.919
<v Speaker 3>if you want to sponsor a vet, I mean they're

277
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:04.519
<v Speaker 3>getting they're getting the red carpet laid out for him.

278
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:06.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean we're we're gonna treat them really well and

279
00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:09.399
<v Speaker 3>make sure that they have an experience that they're never

280
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:12.600
<v Speaker 3>gonna forget. So all the money we collect from this

281
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:16.320
<v Speaker 3>sponsorship drive is just to push in the honor bus

282
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:19.440
<v Speaker 3>and make sure it's something that they remember forever.

283
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:22.919
<v Speaker 2>So do the sponsorship money also go to buy beers

284
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:24.559
<v Speaker 2>or does it go to offset expenses?

285
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.080
<v Speaker 4>It goes to both.

286
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.159
<v Speaker 3>So so the one hundred bucks I gave you, I

287
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.039
<v Speaker 3>could be a sponsor, then you are a sponsor. I said,

288
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.600
<v Speaker 3>you're going on a shirt. Man, Oh, you're always on

289
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:36.799
<v Speaker 3>the shirt. Every time you give me money, you're listed

290
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:37.519
<v Speaker 3>as a sponsor.

291
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:37.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

292
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:39.639
<v Speaker 2>I think that's why he makes the trip in studio

293
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.080
<v Speaker 2>because he knows I'm a soft touch. And it comes

294
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:45.159
<v Speaker 2>about donating to veterans causes, and I just liked the

295
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:46.879
<v Speaker 2>idea that drinking beer.

296
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:49.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're so built, you know.

297
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:53.679
<v Speaker 2>I know there's a million heavy problems and issues and concerns,

298
00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:56.159
<v Speaker 2>and oh my god, the world's falling apart all around us.

299
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.159
<v Speaker 2>And when event like this comes up from I get

300
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:00.559
<v Speaker 2>so excited because you know, first and all the veterans,

301
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:01.320
<v Speaker 2>and second.

302
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.519
<v Speaker 1>It's a great time. It is.
