Speaker 1: When you were ready to double down, dive in, try
Speaker 1: for a show and not look back. Roll into Pearl
Speaker 1: River Rezoot.
Speaker 2: From tea times to table games, water slides by day,
Speaker 2: slots by night. Savor the flavors, feel the fun. Win big.
Speaker 2: Let's roll into Pearl River Rezoot. Must be twenty what
Speaker 2: a rollder to play gambling problem called one eight hundred gmibler.
Speaker 3: This is the final cup of coffee for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: As I've announced, we're taking morning coffee off until the
Speaker 3: first week of the new year. So we're gonna have
Speaker 3: a little bit of hiatus here. And that's uh. Like
Speaker 3: I said, that's important for me to be able to
Speaker 3: recharge and take a little bit of a break. But
Speaker 3: at the same time, I know that you, my listeners,
Speaker 3: will miss these eight minute soundbites, but they're coming back.
Speaker 3: They're not going away for good. It's just the Christmas season.
Speaker 3: It's time to sit down and enjoy time with family,
Speaker 3: time time away from work, if you're fortunate enough to
Speaker 3: have that again. There are various things that we celebrate
Speaker 3: on Christmas, but most importantly, and the one thing that
Speaker 3: we can never forget is that we're doing all of
Speaker 3: this to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior,
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ. We have to take that time to remember
Speaker 3: this because he sacrificed so much for us, the ultimate sacrifice.
Speaker 3: And yes, we should be honoring Christ every day, but
Speaker 3: Christmas is his holiday. It is the time of year
Speaker 3: that we should be focused on his birth and even
Speaker 3: focusing on what his salvation means to us. This weekend,
Speaker 3: I'll be a part of an annual tradition. It's a
Speaker 3: Merry Christmas Turkey giveaway that was started by Chris McDaniel
Speaker 3: and the very first Merry Christmas Turkey giveaway. I was
Speaker 3: on the radio live during and it was an exciting event.
Speaker 3: We had no clue what we were doing. I was
Speaker 3: not there for much of it because, like I said,
Speaker 3: I had to go do a lot broadcast and have
Speaker 3: Chris call in to talk to me about it. But
Speaker 3: one of the biggest things that I remember from that
Speaker 3: first year is the fact that we the traffic on
Speaker 3: the interstate close to the church got stopped because we
Speaker 3: didn't know how to manage the traffic line. See for
Speaker 3: those of you who don't know about this event, we
Speaker 3: line everybody up in cars, we limit everyone to one
Speaker 3: turkey per car, and because we limit everyone to one
Speaker 3: turkey per car, we are we have to make them
Speaker 3: line up in a way that we're not necessarily blocking
Speaker 3: any traffic. For years, we had perfected it to where
Speaker 3: we were running them through a neighborhood. In recent years
Speaker 3: we have started to utilize the parking lot across the
Speaker 3: street from the church, and it just has felt like
Speaker 3: it's been more efficient the last several years, and it's
Speaker 3: really been an outible event. I've talked about it before
Speaker 3: that this event is something that even helps me in
Speaker 3: years where I'm not necessarily feeling the Christmas cheer, it
Speaker 3: helps me find that Christmas spirit. So it's something I
Speaker 3: look forward to every year. And it's, of course the
Speaker 3: brain trial child of Chris McDaniel, because he had sat
Speaker 3: back and watched the War on Christmas, the fight from
Speaker 3: the left to try to remove Christ from Christmas, and
Speaker 3: because of that, he made the rules as simple as possible.
Speaker 3: You show up in a car, pull up to where
Speaker 3: we're handing out the turkeys, say Marry Christmas, and you
Speaker 3: get sough turkey. It's really and truly one of those
Speaker 3: special events that goodness, I can't I can't even really
Speaker 3: go on to it. I mean we've we used to
Speaker 3: have the church choir come out and sing during the event.
Speaker 2: UH.
Speaker 3: In recent years that has they have not done that,
Speaker 3: but we typically have a nice speaker out there and
Speaker 3: are playing Christmas carols during the uh during the the
Speaker 3: procession of the line, which is one of the things
Speaker 3: that I enjoy is, you know, finding a Christmas playlist
Speaker 3: and just letting it play. And it's a uh, it's
Speaker 3: an honor to be a part of that event. And
Speaker 3: you know, this year with things that uh, Chris I'm
Speaker 3: sure was struggling, you know, with everything going on with
Speaker 3: his mom and different things, but he never once said
Speaker 3: let's not do it. He never once waffled to think
Speaker 3: that we shouldn't do it. And we're hoping that Chris
Speaker 3: is able to be there. This is the twentieth year
Speaker 3: that we've done it. The last couple of years he's
Speaker 3: had to be away on work, so it's really important
Speaker 3: if we can have him there. But if we can't,
Speaker 3: that's okay too, because he's still responsible for this event.
Speaker 3: And his son Cambridge will be there who I watched
Speaker 3: as well, will his youngest son Chamberlain. But today I
Speaker 3: watched Cambridge do the news interview about the Turkey giveaway,
Speaker 3: an interview that I myself have done several times. But
Speaker 3: it's really cool to hand that torch off in the
Speaker 3: next generation and watch Cambridge step up and given an
Speaker 3: interview on television like a pro and super proud of
Speaker 3: that young man. So it's going to be an awesome
Speaker 3: of event. I know for my national listeners there's no
Speaker 3: chance you're going to be there. But if you're in
Speaker 3: the area and you hear this particular podcast and you
Speaker 3: don't need a turkey, but you want to be a
Speaker 3: part of it, show up around eight am nine am
Speaker 3: Saturday morning and I will gladly help find you a
Speaker 3: role where you can assist us, because we always need
Speaker 3: extra help. We never turn volunteers away. So if you
Speaker 3: want to help, come on and be a part of it.
Speaker 3: It's a special, special event and I'm really excited for
Speaker 3: what this year's Turkey Giveaway will hold for us. This
Speaker 3: will be, as I said the last morning Coffee of
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, when we come back, we will get
Speaker 3: back into the politics and maybe talk a little bit
Speaker 3: more on that. I'm still hoping this weekend to be
Speaker 3: able to put together a Christmas episode to release sometime
Speaker 3: next week. But it just really depends on time. If
Speaker 3: I have the time to record bits and get stuff
Speaker 3: put together, then I absolutely will do it. But it
Speaker 3: really just comes down to how much time am I
Speaker 3: going to have. But that's the plan I'm hoping to
Speaker 3: Possibly I'll have a show a show out New Year's Week,
Speaker 3: but I may go ahead and take that entire week
Speaker 3: off and just come back fresh when I restart the
Speaker 3: Morning Coffees. So we'll watch our Facebook page and we'll
Speaker 3: announce what's happening there so that way our listeners can
Speaker 3: know when to expect new content. Anyway, I'm your host,
Speaker 3: Jack Fairchild's and you've been listening to Morning Coffee with
Speaker 3: the Right Side and we're a part of the Midnight
Speaker 3: Ride Network. This show has been brought to you by
Speaker 3: Pearl River Casino and Resort. We'll see you guys again
Speaker 3: real soon. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
