Speaker 2: off the air when I wish the guest was in studio.
Speaker 2: Because I'm happy to welcome on the phone Richard Dickman.
Speaker 2: He is the owner of and you'll know why a
Speaker 2: second here why I want him in studio Smoke Justice.
Speaker 2: You want some awesome Q, you want some awesome barbecue.
Speaker 2: Smoke Justice is the place to get it. Richard Dickman,
Speaker 2: Welcome to the morning show. It's good to hear from you.
Speaker 4: Hey, thanks to having me, Brian.
Speaker 2: Happy to and thanks for what you do every day
Speaker 2: because I know folks love Smoke Justice Barbecue. And you're
Speaker 2: also a proud sponsor of the a LS event that's
Speaker 2: coming up. It's called second annual Q four Care Que
Speaker 2: for Care fundraiser. Let's hear about this and first time
Speaker 2: let me ask, how did you get involved with the
Speaker 2: eight with ALS aka Lou Garrig's disease.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, it's just unfortunate circumstances. I hit good
Speaker 4: friend in two thousand and five who passed from ALS,
Speaker 4: my aunt Connie in twenty seventeen, A good friend that
Speaker 4: was in my wedding, John Ricado.
Speaker 1: Is battling it right now, oh my.
Speaker 4: And recently we've got a really good customer, Joe Linelli,
Speaker 4: who is didn't recently diagnosed. So it's you know, those
Speaker 4: are just examples, but it seems like every time I
Speaker 4: turn around, I've got someone that I know or someone
Speaker 4: that's a customer that has a family member or friend
Speaker 4: that has had this disease.
Speaker 1: Oh my.
Speaker 2: And just feel so terribly for you having being surrounded
Speaker 2: like that. It sounds like it's similar to cancer. You know,
Speaker 2: everybody knows somebody that's got cancer, and it's a terrible thing.
Speaker 2: And my understanding, and Richard, you can correct me if
Speaker 2: I'm wrong, and I hope I is.
Speaker 1: There's no cure for als? Is there?
Speaker 5: There is no cure?
Speaker 4: And honestly, the diagnosis comes from counting out every other
Speaker 4: thing that it could be and the result is that
Speaker 4: they have ALS. So not only is there no cure,
Speaker 4: but they're still trying to figure this thing out.
Speaker 2: So the fundraising that you're doing goes to what benefit
Speaker 2: is it to do research? Is it for equipment that
Speaker 2: these folks struggling with ALS need to explain to my
Speaker 2: listeners what the purpose of the fundraiser is.
Speaker 1: Well, what I've.
Speaker 4: Learned over the last few years and with the committee
Speaker 4: members I have, is the most important thing that we
Speaker 4: need to keep in mind for our fundraising is the
Speaker 4: local patients and the needs that they have.
Speaker 5: Right now. There are a lot of people raising money
Speaker 5: to find a cure, but in the.
Speaker 4: Meantime, these patients are they have a lack of things
Speaker 4: like ramps, patient care, lift, shairs, tools that they can
Speaker 4: use to make their lives better during this time, but
Speaker 4: also for the caregivers so that they can help so
Speaker 4: their family members suffer along with them and trying to
Speaker 4: help get them through this time.
Speaker 2: Fair enough, it sounds like there's a lot of need
Speaker 2: out there, but there's a lot of opportunities for my
Speaker 2: listeners to show up at some of the events you've
Speaker 2: got schedule. Let's start with Sipping for Lou happy Hours.
Speaker 2: That's plural, there are multiples of those. What's the story
Speaker 2: on that?
Speaker 5: That's correct?
Speaker 4: You know on Monday will be Memorial Day. The following day, Tuesday,
Speaker 4: the twenty seventh, we kick off our Sipping per Lou,
Speaker 4: which is a series of happy hours from forty seven
Speaker 4: in our Bourbon Lounge, and those days will be fundraising
Speaker 4: money for three local organizations that help with items such
Speaker 4: as the ones that I spoke about on the twenty eighth.
Speaker 5: On the twenty seventh, we'll kick.
Speaker 4: Off with a barrel pick. It's an old forster barrel pick,
Speaker 4: which we've got one hundred and eighty of them, and
Speaker 4: we will be selling those and all proceeds go to
Speaker 4: these the following organizations. On Wednesday always Lifting Spirits, and
Speaker 4: on Thursday Chair Force one and Friday is Operation Ramp
Speaker 4: It Up. All three of those organizations make up the
Speaker 4: triple play that the Red celebrate on June.

Speaker 2: And then these sipping events are at your restaurant, Smoke Justice,
Speaker 2: they are.
Speaker 4: And they're in the Bourbon Lounge, and if you've not
Speaker 4: been there, we've got over five hundred bourbons.

Speaker 4: All that money, one hundred percent of the money for
Speaker 4: during those happy hours goes go back to the cause
Speaker 4: and one hundred percent of these meals on the street
Speaker 4: go to taking. Actually, basically the queue for a care
Speaker 4: means that we want to help support patients care so
Speaker 4: that the loved ones can get away, they grab groceries
Speaker 4: or whatever they need or maybe even get a good
Speaker 4: night's sleep.
