• 1:24
  Speaker 4: kind of see, yeah, who's the top person top teams.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: It's a lot of fun.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: So you competitive bowlers are competitive just in raising money

• 1:37
  Speaker 3: there need to become a part of this.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: It's a lot of fun.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: It is a lot of fun. And it's been going
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: on a long time too, right, Yeah.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: It has I don't know, I know, I think over
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: thirty five years. It's been going on.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: So yeah, and we were talking too about the growth
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: and big brothers and big sisters.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Oh my god.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so tell us about that a little bit. Yeah.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: So just kind of wrapped up last year was able
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: to kind of really kind of dig in the numbers.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: I like, look at the data at the end of
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: the day, are we really doing more work? Are we
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: really helping things out? So looking over that on January first,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: we had nearly twenty percent it was nineteen point three
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: percent more active matches than January first of last year.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: And then our waiting list had grown fifty four percent
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: over January first last year, so pretty much in every
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: area that we could be growing, we are.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: So that's exciting.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: And no matching those people up as the kids with
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: their big is what it's all about. And that mentoring
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: process of getting to build that relationship and kind of
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: go from there through multiple years, because it's really something
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: that starts and then goes on and then odd times
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: after they've graduated from high school.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: So I get people all the time said, Hey, I
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: was a big back in the nineties or early two thousands.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Do you have their number? Can I connect with them?
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: We actually have a really cool we call an alumni
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: program now where where old bigs and littles are coming
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: and mashing up. Because it does it kind of goes
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: on lots of times forever. I know, your wife's a
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: fantastic big sister, and you know, recently I kind of
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: got to listen to the kids and kind of talk
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: to them. She's learned how to how to swim, you know,
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: from that relationship and just things like that building confidence,
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: and what we say is we want to unlock the
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: potential of youth and just through to do.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: The things she wouldn't have you got to do otherwise.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: You know, that's a you know, different opportunities. I think
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: they're going to go to the Ballet and Tulsa the
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: sun Ball House.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Cool.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, how cool.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: That'd be awesome.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: And then we also, you guys are kind of related
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: to the Young Scholars program here too, which has a
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: big fundraising event coming up also at the end of February,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: and your support coming and cork your support. Your two
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: programs work together, right, we do.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: So. Yeah, to be a part of Giving Scholars, they
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: require to have a mentor as well in that program,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: and so we supply that part of their program is
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: the mentorship. So if you can be a part of
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Big Brothers Big Sisters without being a part of Young Scholars,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: but if you come in with Young Scholars, then you'll
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: also be a part of Big Brothers and Big Sisters.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: So that's what I was saying.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: And that's February twenty eighth, seven to nine at Saint
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: John School, I believe.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And it's a the old.

• 4:40
  Speaker 3: but it's known.

  Speaker 2: I assume there's still time to get started.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: There's still plenty of time. It really like this is
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: our major time that really starts to ramp up. There's

  Speaker 2: and you know, not getting some patents.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: We try to really just ramp up, you know, the
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: fun there. So we usually have green Marty Girl beads.

  Speaker 4: Anybody gets a strike, we're passing those out. We have
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: blow sticks. If you raise you know, your full amount
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: for a team, which is nine hundred, we're gonna buy pizza.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: We're gonna buy pop and yeah, we just try to
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: make it a really awesome, fun event. It's the bowling
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: is the fun part, right, It's really about fundraising. It's
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: really about supplying the funds for us to can you
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: continue growing like we are. But then, yeah, we want
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: to give back to all the people that help support us,
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: and so the bowling it's just a big party.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: And you know, we talked about the main part of
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: the program, the connecting the.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Bigs and the littles. How does that work?
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: What is the what do you if if someone's interested
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: in exploring that opportunity, what do they need to do
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: and what's the how does it work?
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the best fastest way is go to our website.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: It's big Oklahoma dot org and there's a button that
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: say says I'm interested in volunteering. You click on it.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: It's a very short questionnaire kind of ask you some
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: simple questions, and then we're gonna call you some time later,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: probably that day, schedule an actual interview where you come in,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: you'll sit down. Usually takes thirty forty five minutes because
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: we want.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: To know about you.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: We want to know what do you like, what do
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: you don't like, interests, what's your expectation of the program.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: And then we ask kids the exact same thing. The
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: last thing we want to do is make a match
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: that just doesn't work well. So we're gonna we ask
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: the kids same thing. What are you into, what do
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: you like to do? What would a really cool big brother,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: big sister look like to you. And so then we
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: me and Dana we sit down and I mean we
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: spend about three to four hours every week. Here's the
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: volunteers came in, here's all the kids in our program.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Who's going to match well? And then we'll call the
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: balllunteer first and kind of say, here's what we're thinking.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Here's this kid, Here's how old they are, here's what
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: they're into. What do you think about this? If everybody says, yeah,
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: I think this sounds great, you match up, We'll get
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: you started on your first program and just kind of
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: let you guys meet each other and start that relationship.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: And you kind of coach both sides through the process.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Right, We support the entire relationship the whole way through.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: So for that first year, we do monthly check ins
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: with the volunteer, with the parent, with the kid. How
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: are things going, how's it? You know? Is there any
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: way we can help support you support that match? You know,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: volunteers we ask all the time, well, you know, the
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: kid kind of brought this question up. I'm not trying
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: to answer that. We have a huge library resource that
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: we can say, here's a really great way of handling
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: this question and really making sure you're confident, you feel prepared,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: and you're supported all through this program.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: That's neat and it really i know, develops those relationships,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: gives people a chance to get back, you know, whether
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: if you're going to be the big and help someone
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: develop their you know, maybe a lifelong passion for different things,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: career opportunities to decide what to do next after you
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: graduate from high school. When does it typically start. What's
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: the age group that you like to get in.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: We will let a kid enroll at six years old.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: We don't have any six year olds right now, but
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: that's kind of this where it starts at. And then
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: we kind of start cutting off around sixteen seventeen. The
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: shortest we want so a commitment, it's at least twelve months.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: The kids, I mean they what we want is kind
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: of that long term relationship with them, and time to
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: build the relationship takes twelve months, So at that sixteen
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: kind of cut off because you're kind of getting out
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: to where you're going to be graduating soon.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Anyway, that's great and anyway, it's a wonderful program. We're
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: glad to have you on to help promote that we
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: do have some really exciting stuff going on at the dealership.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: We've got Valentine's Day coming up this weekend, so it's
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Love your Toyota season, okay, and we've got some great
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: deals on Toyotas. We've got fifty five new Toyotas and
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: stock are on the way right now, including eighteen Tacomas,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: and that's one of our best selling vehicles probably it
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: has been recently, especially because we've been we were converting
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: to a brand new model on the Wrap four.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Which is one of our other leading sellers, and.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Not the Highlander and Grand Highlander and all the others
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: aren't super popular, but those are Tacoma and Wrap four
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: kind of the bread and butter the most popular vehicles
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: we have right now. And we've got a brand new
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Wrap four coming out. We just got our first one
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: on the ground last week and delivered it very quickly.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Those are going to be in really short supply here
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: for the probably most of this year as they wrap
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: up with the new model. It's been several years since
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: so we had a new rap for redesign and it's
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: just been super well accepted and people are real excited
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: about it. It's got new trim levels, lots of new technology,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: all kinds of great stuff you'll want to explore. We
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: don't be put off because they're not on the ground yet. Well,
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: we'll find a chance to get you a chance to
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: explore it or help you find out, you know, get
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: more information about AB beforehand, and then we can help
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: you kind of find.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: That perfect vehicle.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: As they start to build up an allocation, every dealer's
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: got the same issue. So we've been working with our
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: team to really help sew it down a little bit.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Let's find out what you need and we'll get that great,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: perfect vehicle for you. What we do have right now
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: are some great deals on Tundra and Tacoma. I mentioned Tacoma,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: but Tundra has two point nine percent for seventy two
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: months plus one thousand dollars finance subvention cash. You do
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: to have to finance with Toyota Financial Services or that
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: if you're not interested in the financing, you can have
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: a three thousand dollars retail customer cash on an example Tundra.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: We have a.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Tundra SR four wheel drive, double cab. That vehicle is
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: over fifty five hundred dollars off right now with the rebate,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: and or you can lease it for just four thirty
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: six a month. And you know, we were talking beforehand
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: about your sister's Wrap four and they're great resale value
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: that it has when she's training it in at her
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: home in Kansas, and that Toyotas are a great resale
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: value people. They really do hold their value better than
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: really any other brand. And they one of the things
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: that does is make great leases because at least you're
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: paying for that estimated value. You're just paying for the
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: first part of the vehicle you're going to use. Say
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: I want to lease it for two or three years,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: They'll estimate how much it'll be worth at the end
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: of the lead and you just pay for the difference.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: So on a Tacoma, for instance, it can be a
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: really incredible low payment.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: I mean today.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Like that, Yeah, that's awesome, We've got one in stock.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: This is not a made up vehicle that isn't available.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: It's a twenty six toa Tacoma four wheel drive double cab.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: It's just three eighty a month, and that is a
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: pretty low payment in today's environment with the interest rates
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: that that we're faced with these days, and our team
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: can help you with that if you if anyone is
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: interested in, you know, checking out what payments are like.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: There's a great tool on our website. There's a button
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: that says personalized your payment. You can go in there
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: and actually kind of work your own deal. It's a
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: really nice way to be able to take our dunge
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: just simple price. You can actually submit your credit if
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: you want to get it down and down to the
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: penny and get your credit involved there, or it's just
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: kind of tell it what you think your credit tier
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: is and then go from there. You can add your trade,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: you can talk about you know, put the whole deal together,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: see all the incentives, discounts, calculate your own payment, play
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: with the term, the down payment, every variable in building your.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Own car deal.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: And then it's the same tool that our team uses
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: when you come in the store to present the numbers
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: to you, and the sales team all have access to that.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: So we've had to eliminate all that back and forth
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: of the old negotiation with what they used to call
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: the four square and in the written dealer offer, where
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: you know, which is a negotiation tactic in the car business,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: and you know, all the principles of the car payment
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: as really the same, its own math, and it takes
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: some tool or a person to calculate that, but we
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: try to make it really transparent, keep that price really simple,
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: and make it fun to buy a car. It's uh,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: you know, we'd like to say that it's a it's
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: a chance to buy a car with a different experience.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: You know, no hidden fees and you know you can
• 15:10

  Speaker 4: So we ended last year eighty one kids served. Right
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: now we're a trajectory. We'll serve one hundred kids this year. Yeah,
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: with everything kind of if we do the same thing
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: we did last year, and I actually think we'll do more.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Just as we looked past over the months, it was
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: kind of growing faster and faster every month. So I'm
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: sure we'll hit that hundred mark this year. Really excited
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: about that. We haven't. We haven't hit a hundred mark
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: hundred kids served since I think the nineties. Really it's yeah,
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: it's really kind of Yeah, we're on a really big
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: growth pattern right now.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. Man.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: So somebody if they are there other requirements for being
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: a big and you know what's the you know, what's
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: that deal age.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: And you know you really look at what do you
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I mean the targeting?
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, need a car, that's kind of thing. We're also
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: starting a new program here. We've kind of had site based,
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: but we're really going to have a focused school. So
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: Jane Phillips, this has been growing a lot. If you
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: just want to have a lunch with a kid, we
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: have I think seventeen kids waiting at Jane Phillips. So
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: what we call this is our site based program. You're
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: not out in the community. You have to do anything
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: outside of work, go have lunch with a kid once
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: a week, you know, every other week, something like that.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: And then we have what we call our community based program.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: And that's typically what you think of when you think
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: of our program. That's where you arrange a time with
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: the parents, say hey, I'm going to swing by, pick
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: up the kid, and we're going to go to Sonic
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: and have a drink.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Sometimes it's that simple.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it really is.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it could also be doing stuff you like
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: to do, like go and fishing or swimming like you mentioned,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: or whatever I mean, are they.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: We ask these kids all these questions and yeah, what
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: are you into? What are your hobbies? Bring them along
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: with the things you're already doing. We've also developed a
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: lot of relationships just in the community. So the bowling elling,
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: for example, the Putt putt place here, the arcades at Ramy's.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of things we've done to make it
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: easier to be a big So it's we made it fun.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: We tried to anyway what about the littles and you
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: know somebody, maybe a parent is listening and thanks, well mate,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: I wonder if that would work for my child?
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: What what how do they.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Find out more and what and what is your what
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: is what are you looking for in that person?
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: To connect with a big same thing, same website, Big
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma dot org. And so there's two links, one to volunteer,
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: one to sign up a child go through there. It's
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: kind of the same process. Well, you'll you'll, you'll answer
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: some brief information, we'll give you a call, set up
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: a time to come and interview. You'll come in. So
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: for for us, there's only two of us. There's myself
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: and then Daniel. Daniel is the one who will really
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: kind of reach in interview everybody fill everything out. And
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: that's really I mean, that's that's really about it. At
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: the end of the day, we want to help kids.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: We really want to make them just bring out their
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: full potential.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: It is about kind of unlocking that potential and.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: We see it. We see it all the time. I
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: could really dig into a bunch of stats and we'll
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: have a bunch of time for that. But the impact
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: that we're making in kids lives I think if I
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: could just use one the biggest impact that we saw,
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: two thirds of the economic gap is being closed through
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: kids in our program. And we found that through just
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: a study was released. It was from Harvard and the
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: US National Treasury looked at kids in our program in
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: the nineties. Now that they've grown up, two thirds of
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: them that were in Harverish economic classes are now in
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: middle class and so we really are closing the gap
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: making kids have much brighter futures.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: That's outstanding.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: And let's talk about young scholars on corkuer Sport one
• 21:45
