  Speaker 1: again time the raffle off some bourbon and help the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: local veterans. Okay, we start with the concept of Vets
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and Bruce before we get to the Bourbon List, and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: one of my favorites happens to be on it. But
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: you wanted to help out the American veteran and you
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: wanted to do it in a fun way, and that's
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: how Vets and Bruce got started. How long you've been doing.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: This since twenty nineteen? That's when I started late twenty nineteen.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy? How see?
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: This h one of those another life milestones, just like
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: when you go on Facebook, Oh you know this album
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: that you listen to in high schools now forty five
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: years old, like, oh my god, we've been talking since
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Yeah, well, good for you. And you solicit
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: money from people who want to buy veterans a beer.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: It's a ten dollars donation, right, that's it. Seven bucks
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: covers the beer, yep, for the most part, and the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: balance goes to Patriots Landing. Now I've had Patriots Landing
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: on a whole bunch of times. And what a heartwarming
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: organization that one is. At Northern Kentucky. It's a wood shop,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I guess, for lack of a better explanation, and they
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: make these wonderful the veterans make these wonderful items. It's
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: woodworking items, like there's a cross and there's the the nine,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: which is a flag made of wood with the stars
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: represented by nine millimeter spent case things. I thought that
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: was cool, but a whole bunch of different ones. And
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I recommend you check out Patriots Landing to get involved.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And if you're a veteran out there, it is a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: great place for you to hang out with fellow veterans
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and commiserate and share stories and support each other. So
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: good work going on there and I'm glad that that
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: organization gets the balance. So beers four veterans Patriots Landing
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: four veterans as well, and you have donation boxes that
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: are the original Patriots Landing concept, which is the flagcases.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: And they make those because they found out at Arlington
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: National that there was no US manufacturer of flagcases if
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I recall correctly.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, they were a local veterans cemetery or something,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: and notice that that's what it was. Now they supply
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Arlington Arlington. Yeah, they're the sole supplier. So it's pretty amazing.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know your veterans, I don't mean to face
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: some Patriots Landing all but anything you buy from Patriots Landing,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: it's going to be signed by the veteran that made
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the item. So if you need a flagcase, there the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: place to go. And I think it's just awesome that
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Arlington has selected.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: My dad's is in their flagcase. It's real. I've given
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: a bunch of them away to friends. I mean, yeah,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I checked the back every time. I bet you do,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I bet you do.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: But the what maybe stumble upon the flatcases, not just
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: because I wanted to give them props for doing that,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: but you convert the flagcases into the donation boxes, which
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: people can find at local bars where you're right, yep,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: how many bars are out there holding a donation box?
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: There's seven? Now, you know, things have slowed down and
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: some breweries have clothes, so we'll start putting them in
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: other ones. But you know a lot of people don't
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: carry cash anymore either, so it's it's getting a lot.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: We put QR codes next to them and everything too.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: But they look great when they're sitting there, They really do.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: It draws your attention to it right.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Now, you can't miss it usually, and they're prominently placed
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: or at least you know, uh yeah, tactically replaced a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: place so they you get the most donations. But you
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: throw ten bucks in a box if you see one,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: you're gonna buy a vet of beer. Uh and you
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: can go online too. It's Vets and Bruis dot Cole
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to make a donation. But also which we're gonna get
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to when we come back from brief rank buy bourbon.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: It's time for the Vets and Bruce Bourbon Raffle. And
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: you know, right out of the gate, I just did
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the the Care Starts Now Cancer event and they had
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a bourbon raffle and props of the party source for
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: donating those barrels or those bottles. That was not the
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: case with the bottles that were donated for the bourbon
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: raffle here for the Vets and Bruce organization. So we'll
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: get to how these bottles came into Matt's possession. The
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: type of bourbinger up the talk station set nine fifty
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: five krsit the talk station fifty five krsee loves the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: American Veteran I personally give I just think the world
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: of the American veterans doing a job that very few
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: people would be willing to do. Sign it up on
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the bottom line and never knowing what that might do
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to you where you might end up. And man, I'm
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: telling you, especially in these trying times, we find ourselves
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: with someone who gets that and trying to give back
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to the American veteran and has been doing this since
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Matt Demarus from Vets and Bruce. We talked
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: about the concept in the last segment. You go to
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Vets and Bruise dot com, get the lunk because you're
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: gonna want to buy a bourbon ticket. Yay, thirty dollars
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: a pop.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: That's it, man, I mean, and we've got over five
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars worth.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Of Oh yes you and there's some really sweet sweets
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: bourbons on here. You can start with the old the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: old Rip Van Winkle. I know people have that high
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: on their their their wantless and.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: The Pappies anytime you have a Pappy's and that's the
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: big one, but you.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Have a lot of others. I gravitated towards and it's
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: in less expensive bottle. What about sixty bucks angels Envy.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I think that is an outstanding bourbon. It is so
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: dang smooth. Yeah, and I only recently stumbled upon why
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: it's called angels envy. It's when the bourbon is being
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: aged in the barrel, magically a portion of it disappears,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: so you have a one hundred percent volume, and by
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the time if the three or five years is over aging,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: there's something less than that. It has either evaporated, it's
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: entered the atmosphere. They call that the angels share. So
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: what's left in the barrel is what the angels envy? Right, yeah, okay, like,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: oh brilliant, Thomas, No kidding, Thomas. So I just recently
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: went into a bourbon tour over at Castle and Key
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: bourbon distributor or bourbon plant down in Kentucky, and I
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: figured it out there. So that's where I found out
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: about the angels share. But how many total bottles of
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: bourbon here?
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: We got thirty eight totals, so there'll be fifteen for
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the online raffle. If you buy your tickets online for
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: thirty bucks apiece, there's gonna be five hundred tickets. Once
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: those are sold out, we're done. And then at the
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: in person bourbon raffle, that's where we're gonna draw the winners,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: but we'll have twenty three additional bottles there and that's
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: from You just show up and you get a ticket.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: You can win tickets and you put them in whichever
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: basket you want for which bottle and where and when
• 6:47

  Speaker 1: of Vets and Bruce dot com and have him buy

  Speaker 2: There was three ninety left, so we've sold one hundred
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: and ten. It's been out for about a week so

  Speaker 2: and I think we'll close it down around the twenty
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: second or so if we haven't sold them all. But
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: the goal is to sell them out. Let's I mean
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: to raise as much money.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: As possible and obviously going for great causes. So Vets
• 9:25

• 9:28
  Speaker 1: the donation box, which is the flag box. Donate online
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to Vets and Bruce buy a beer. That way, if
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: you run into Matt and hand him ten bucks, you'll
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: make sure that money goes to get to a hell.
• 9:39

• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Run into me. Let me buy you a beer.
• 9:42

• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the money to buy you a beer. Run into him.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: So yes, hit, I muffer one. That was the other thing.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: You don't need to run into you to get the beer.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: How does a veteran get a beer?
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you see, if it's one of our Vets
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: and Bruce partners, you just tell him, ask him, say hey,
• 9:59

• 10:09
  Speaker 2: or something like that, just call me and I'll show
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: up and buy around for everybody off. That's how it works.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: And do it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I know a lot of veterans probably think,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you know, I'd never I don't need a free beer.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I I can sink and swim on my own, and
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I understand that philosophy. But you want them to enjoy
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: a beer. You want them to.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: If they don't accept it, I can't give the remaining
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: balance to Patriots Landing. Okay, Yeah, So the quicker you
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: drink them, the more money I can give to Patriots Landing. Right.
