Transcript
- 0:13And we're live. What's up there boys and girls?
- 0:58Welcome to the Christmas Mike show.
- 1:00I'm Chrissy's Mike. This is Brian Morris, the world
- 1:02famous legendary life changing human being that has just an
- 1:07incredible life resume. Sooner or later he's going to be
- 1:09a politician that that does good for our state because that's
- 1:12just, you know, who he is. And I've known Brian Ferraro 20
- 1:17years. We decided a.
- 1:18Little over 20 now. Yeah, a little over 20 years.
- 1:21I think it's called 2022 or 23. 22 or 23 and true story, he is
- 1:25one of the only people in this world that has seen my wife
- 1:27naked. Guilty.
- 1:30Now the reason why? Guilty.
- 1:34That's an interesting tidbit fact for your listeners we had.
- 1:37Fact on a Friday afternoon. We had is Nikki.
- 1:39Going to hear this when we're gone.
- 1:40Probably she had this calendar made that was very, very
- 1:44tastefully done, black and white, and I put it up on my
- 1:46computer to screensaver. So Brian's over my house when
- 1:49they were looking at houses or shit.
- 1:50I forget about the screensaver and I run downstairs, get
- 1:52something, come back upstairs and Brian's eyes are like this
- 1:54on the computer. And let's just say I've never
- 1:58gotten the annual update sent, which really sucks because I
- 2:01thought I was on the subscription list.
- 2:03I signed up for the subscription list and I don't know if it was
- 2:07you or Nikki took me off, but I've never gotten my me.
- 2:10I'm still stuck in the same year, you know.
- 2:14It's funny how shit just pops in your head man.
- 2:16I can't believe you even thought about that.
- 2:18It's been 18 years ago. She just keeps getting younger.
- 2:21And Brian? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:23You know, yeah. But that's not why we're here
- 2:26today. We're not here to talk about my
- 2:27beautiful and amazing wife. We're here to talk about Brian
- 2:28Morris and and what he's doing now going.
- 2:30This is your 10th year. This is our 9th year and going
- 2:33back to that, thankfully it was your wife that was naked on the
- 2:35counter, not you. Because you probably would have
- 2:38kept me on the subscription list, right?
- 2:42It's our 9th. Year, it's our 9th year.
- 2:45It's the 9th year and, and let's, let's just share the
- 2:48screen here so we can share what you're talking about while
- 2:51you're talking. So this is Brian and his friend
- 2:54David Belt started this nine years ago in a in a parking lot
- 2:58right in Peoria or Glendale. So Fire Station 1 is in downtown
- 3:02Peoria and it's now restaurant. It was.
- 3:04It was not operating at the time.
- 3:07We started in the field next to there and it all started out of
- 3:10the Hurricane Harvey. So we had gone to, we had raised
- 3:13funds and and and goods for Hurricane Harvey, went to
- 3:16Houston, spent a little over a week there with 20 volunteers
- 3:20doing really good service to the community and donating 4 semi
- 3:23truckloads. We came back and our other
- 3:27friend David Dovecchio from Abd Signs and Printing had kept
- 3:31collecting while we were gone. And when we got back, the
- 3:34warehouse was full. And I mean full.
- 3:36So David and being the guy that he is, first of all, we weren't
- 3:40going back to Houston 'cause we were exhausted.
- 3:41It was emotionally, mentally, financially draining.
- 3:44But Dave goes, hey, let's do this day of giving.
- 3:46And I'm like, cool. I mean, the way Dave and I work
- 3:48and one of us comes up with the other an idea and no matter how
- 3:51far fetched it is or how far out there it is, OK, We just do it
- 3:55right. So there's no question, which is
- 3:57why we work so well together 'cause we're both really freaky
- 4:00like that. So we we decided to start
- 4:03setting up on a Friday night. Saturday showed up and we were
- 4:06like, I don't know how people are going to show up. 100 kids
- 4:08got toys and 40 families. And that sounds like a big
- 4:11number, man. We were like knocking it out of
- 4:13the park. But I'll never forget, David at
- 4:16the end of it is like, man, you know, be really cool is if
- 4:18someday we could take over the Peoria Sports Complex.
- 4:20And everybody just laughed at us.
- 4:22Now let people, let people, let people who are who are listening
- 4:24to this and they're going to watch this later.
- 4:26How, how? What's the size of Peoria Sports
- 4:28Complex? Peoria's forest complex where
- 4:30the, the Mariners practice, it's, it's, it's the training
- 4:34Center for the Seattle Mariners. It holds about 15,000 in the
- 4:38seats. So it's a, it's a fairly large
- 4:40facility. But we didn't just go from the
- 4:44field to there. Obviously the, the, the next
- 4:46step for us was the, the Community Center.
- 4:49And the first year we did really well.
- 4:51And every year we've, we've grown.
- 4:52And then the last year we were in the Community Center was two
- 4:54years ago and we wrapped the Community Center three times
- 4:58with the line and we knew we outgrew it because it was just
- 5:00too much of an event for that small of a space.
- 5:03So we took over half of the outer part of the curious forest
- 5:09complex all around the the areas.
- 5:11And we, we did, you know, 3035 hundred kids and we fed 500
- 5:15families. We thought, wait, man, we've
- 5:16really come to the point. So, you know, we were expecting
- 5:21a a pretty good turn out this year and it's exploded on us.
- 5:24But you know, I got to tell you, as much as I want to take credit
- 5:30for all of this, the the real brainchild behind the day of
- 5:33giving was David Bell with the advantage pools and landscaping.
- 5:37David and I just have this unbelievable desire to serve the
- 5:41community. We Dave is just like he he sees
- 5:45things that I don't exactly see. So I'm like the execution.
- 5:49Let's make it happen type of guy.
- 5:50I come up with my stuff. I, I have a big thing for law
- 5:54enforcement as you, as you know, I've been doing that stuff for,
- 5:57for over 20 years. When this event started to come
- 5:59together, we started putting all the stuff together.
- 6:02And every year David hears something and then he makes the
- 6:05event bigger. So just to give you an example,
- 6:08for a couple years we've heard these kids.
- 6:10I wish I had a toy to give my mom and dad, which had something
- 6:13to put underneath the tree for him.
- 6:14So last year we had parent gifts and the, the parent gifts are
- 6:18these gifts, they're on the table, they're all wrapped.
- 6:20And then they have the, the, the one gift that they can see.
- 6:23So they get to give a wrap gift to their parent.
- 6:25They don't know what they are, but this is going to be huge.
- 6:28I mean, this was the last year's clip.
- 6:30And you'll see just the, the magnitude of what we have here.
- 6:33And I want you to multiply that times 3.
- 6:36Oh, that's fantastic. And for those of you watching, I
- 6:38purposely don't have the sound on the video because I don't
- 6:41want it to overpower what we're talking about.
- 6:42But it from a visual standpoint, this is what Brian does on, this
- 6:46is his 9th year and it keeps getting bigger and bigger every
- 6:48single year. So this is kind of a behind the
- 6:49scenes stuff before the kids in the family show up, right?
- 6:52Yes, this is the day, the morning of the day of giving.
- 6:55This is a week in preparation. I I don't even, to be honest
- 6:58with you, I am. I've been working 7080 hours a
- 7:03week on top of running a business, on top of coaching, on
- 7:06top of Community College. Yeah, on top of being a dad.
- 7:08And I look at this video and I think to myself, well, that's
- 7:12cool, but we're going to have to figure out how to do all of this
- 7:15in the same time frame with four times the amount.
- 7:17Right. And the day of giving so people
- 7:19understand is is December 20th correct at the at the at the
- 7:24Peoria Sports Complex starts at 7:00 AM and goes until the last
- 7:27kids families well we. We have to be out of there by
- 7:305:00, but I can tell you that that depending on how the event
- 7:35goes. But let Chris, we got to talk
- 7:36about the event. It's not just about the toys,
- 7:38right? Yeah, let's talk about the toys.
- 7:40So too many times we get fundraisers where people are
- 7:42like, oh, I donated toys, OK, cool.
- 7:44Well, we want to make sure they have the experience.
- 7:47So you know, like right now at the Peoria Sports Complex, you
- 7:51have candy cane lane. Well, candy cane lane is a
- 7:53really cool holiday thing that's put together.
- 7:55The owner of that is amazing, but it's a for profit business.
- 7:59You know, there's a a gate charge.
- 8:01Everything you do inside is a charge, so it costs money.
- 8:04These families wouldn't have that experience.
- 8:05So what experience are we building?
- 8:07Right? You come in the gate, it's right
- 8:09away. You have the registration
- 8:11process, you're giving wristbands for all the stuff
- 8:13that we do. We give you free food, free
- 8:14popcorn, free cotton candy. We give you bouncy houses, Santa
- 8:19Claus, cookie decorating stations, Santa Land.
- 8:22This year we added the BMX experience, the Dino crew, Hello
- 8:25Kitty. We got Elsa and Anna's going to
- 8:28be coming down and, and actually, you know, from Frozen,
- 8:30they're actually making an appearance with us this year.
- 8:32We have cosplay characters, Police Department, fire
- 8:35department, sheriff's officers. We have an entire event that is
- 8:39an experience so they can get the holiday experience.
- 8:42I get goosebumps even talking about it and I talk about it all
- 8:44the time, but it makes such an impact because these are kids
- 8:48that would not have anything. But beyond that, there's more.
- 8:52We also feed families so they get a family meal and the family
- 8:56meal is a meal for six that that they can take and prep.
- 8:59It's on the 20th, so there's five days before.
- 9:02In the past we've done turkeys. This year we we talked ourselves
- 9:05out of the turkeys just because of the handling of almost 2000
- 9:09turkeys was a lot. And so we went to a gift card.
- 9:12So fries, we're doing gift cards or fries and they'll be able to
- 9:14go there and get a Turkey or a ham or whatever kind of meat
- 9:18they want. The rest of the fixings come in
- 9:20a bag and they got the ugly pool bag with the with all the food
- 9:23of course. You don't have a pool bag and.
- 9:25Then there's a stocking area that the parents while the kids
- 9:28are going through. So this is a cool thing.
- 9:30So that toy room first couple years the parents walk the kids
- 9:33through. Well here's the issue with
- 9:35letting parents walk kids through a toy area.
- 9:38Is a kid see something they want?
- 9:40What does a parent see? They see something they want.
- 9:43Something with a what With what? With what?
- 9:46A price tag, yes. So a kid may want a $5 or $10
- 9:50squish mellow and the parent sees a $30 remote control.
- 9:53That's me. And what do you think?
- 9:55What, what, what, What do you think they're going to tell the
- 9:58kids to get? The the more expensive thing.
- 10:00Electronic. Yeah, Yep.
- 10:01So we took them out of the equation.
- 10:03Parents are not allowed to go with their kids in the toy room.
- 10:06They are put to the side. They are teamed up with a
- 10:08volunteer. Volunteer walks through.
- 10:11You know what our enrollment is right now over 7000 more 10 days
- 10:15away and I'm. Average.
- 10:17So when I show up on the 20th, what's my what's my volunteer
- 10:20role going to be? It's going to be we, we have a
- 10:23great volunteer coordinators this year.
- 10:24They're going to have individual site coordination, so different
- 10:28things from registration to food to packaging.
- 10:31We want volunteers this year. In the past, we've never been
- 10:34smart enough to do this. Volunteers were pretty much
- 10:37stuck where they were. We want volunteers to have just
- 10:40as much experience as as as the people have.
- 10:42So you're going to volunteer, let's say registration table for
- 10:45a couple hours, and you're going to go to help the kids with toys
- 10:48for a couple hours and you're going to help with bouncy houses
- 10:51for a couple hours and A food, However long you want to stay,
- 10:54come in for an hour. I promise you if you show up and
- 10:57you plan to stay there for an hour or two, you will stay there
- 10:59the rest of the day because this will move you.
- 11:02Well, you know how I am dude. I love this stuff man.
- 11:04I know. But I'm saying there's a lot of
- 11:06people like, oh, I don't have the whole day.
- 11:07I get it. We don't need the whole day.
- 11:09Don't don't think we're expecting you to hang out all
- 11:11day. Come here, get a shirt, let the
- 11:14gates open. Start talking to the kids.
- 11:16Read some of those letters from Sam and then see how long you
- 11:19actually stay there. I promise you if you if you want
- 11:22to come there, you will not want to leave until the events and
- 11:24you want to make this such a great experience.
- 11:27Now this this part of the video, this is obviously not toys.
- 11:29This is all basic needs stuff. That's teen Room.
- 11:33Teen room, OK. Teen room.
- 11:34Awesome. So this is our, we've, we've
- 11:36really tried to focus. It's very difficult to shop for
- 11:40teens. So we try to put things together
- 11:43like curling irons, video, different kind of games.
- 11:47You'll see speakers and headphones and and a little bit
- 11:50higher end stuff. They don't get as much, but they
- 11:53get something that's, you know, look at the speakers bro.
- 11:55It's. Very cool dude.
- 11:56This isn't, this isn't junk. We're not going and buying.
- 11:59This is buying yes top end stuff as much as possible as long as a
- 12:04budget allows. There's that jacket again, just
- 12:07no presentation. Is outstanding.
- 12:09It's true. Look all the socks.
- 12:10Look all the socks. Why?
- 12:12Because you need socks and I know so when you walk.
- 12:15So, so I, I'm, so I, I, I go there as somebody that I'm a
- 12:18kid, right? And I want, I'm going to take me
- 12:20to the toy room. So is there a limit?
- 12:22Obviously there's got to be limit of what toys I can get,
- 12:24how many I can pick. I mean, how do you work that
- 12:26dynamic with it? So you have a 10 year old kid
- 12:27who's walking through the toy room.
- 12:29So, so we we have a certain number of big items and a
- 12:33certain number of small items. So how this is going to get
- 12:36figured out is we've been doing through our enrollments and we
- 12:39know that we're going to have X number of people for sure that
- 12:41are enrolled. We have X number of people who
- 12:43will show up at the gate. Now, remember, in the past we've
- 12:45kind of been shooting this off of the off of the hip.
- 12:49Yeah, because we never had pre registrations.
- 12:51This year we have pre registration.
- 12:52So here's what's going to happen.
- 12:54You're going to come in, you go in, we're going to know.
- 12:56OK. Hey, we got X number of 10 year
- 12:59olds that are coming through, 10 to 12 year olds.
- 13:01These are the toys that they get.
- 13:02Here's what they get. So the volunteers, when they're
- 13:05going through, they go, OK, you can have one of these, you can
- 13:06have two of these, one of these. So we, we do it based on what we
- 13:10have now. As more people sign up,
- 13:13obviously we change the quantities.
- 13:15So we, we plan on 6000 this year.
- 13:18We've already registered 7500 and we'll get 1000 to 2000 that
- 13:23show up. So we're going to be around
- 13:2510,000. Chris.
- 13:26OK, wow. That's amazing.
- 13:30And that's the mayor of Peoria, Jason Beck.
- 13:32Yeah, this is Jason Beck. Real important to know that
- 13:36without this event or without him and his family, this event
- 13:40would not be what it was before he became mayor.
- 13:42This this is his 7th, 7th year. He came out as his family, the
- 13:48Beck family, and they donated every single bike that's there
- 13:52was donated by the Beck family. Wow.
- 13:55This year, this year he challenged a few people.
- 13:58We're hoping that they come through for us.
- 14:00I think we did like 170 bikes last year just to buy that we
- 14:04did the other day with the mayor was over 400 bikes.
- 14:07And let me tell you, they come in and how they do it is is they
- 14:12they pretty much come into a Walmart.
- 14:15We, we take a, the experience for them is they bring the whole
- 14:20family. So they have their littlest kids
- 14:22up to their oldest kids. They go down the aisle.
- 14:25Jason is there, Jane, his wife is there.
- 14:27They start going down. They get kind of an idea of what
- 14:29they're looking for. We go aisle by aisle and they
- 14:31fill the carts, fill the carts. We had over 297 carts, 297 cars
- 14:38before we bought bikes. It took two hours and 45 minutes
- 14:42with four registers open non-stop at Walmart with four
- 14:46people in each register bagging the in the trash bags to get the
- 14:51stuff from the carts into trash bags to take to the semi.
- 14:56Jason parked a 53 foot semi in the parking lot.
- 14:58We loaded it front to back with goods and goods.
- 15:01And this is all from the mayor of Peoria.
- 15:03That's from the mayor, but more importantly, it's not from the
- 15:05the city of Peoria, it's from. Jason Beckham.
- 15:07That's what I'm saying. I want people to understand this
- 15:09is the mayor opening up his checkbook.
- 15:11His personal checkbook, Right. I just, I just want to clarify
- 15:14because the city. No, Yeah, He gives the city
- 15:17through the city. They can only give so much.
- 15:19And he's not taking from the city to do this.
- 15:21No, he's doing this as a resident of Peoria because he
- 15:25loves Peoria. And he called me the other day
- 15:27and he said, Brian, he goes I can see your needs gone up.
- 15:29He goes I'm going to talk to Jane or see if we can fill
- 15:31another truck this week. Yeah, that's amazing.
- 15:32And I'm like, OK, that's well, let me tell you, it takes, it
- 15:38takes, it takes. Takes a village.
- 15:41We we go, we got there six, we left at 2:45.
- 15:45So it was 88, almost 9 hours just to get the stuff bought and
- 15:49filled. Now we got to get it unloaded
- 15:51and sorted and organized. So I mean, there's a single
- 15:54truckload is 3540 hours times how many people are there?
- 15:59Yeah, that's amazing. Hundreds of man hours.
- 16:01So the entire time you're prepping for this, you're using
- 16:04Peoria Sports Complex? We start prepping on Monday.
- 16:08We've been collecting, we have storage units scrolled away.
- 16:11We have 53 foot semis that are loaded and sitting in parking
- 16:14lots of our partner businesses. We have a 53 foot semi sitting
- 16:17at the Curious Force complex we picked up from the West Side
- 16:20Food Bank today. We've got stuff staged at we've
- 16:23already purchased. Yesterday we did a big purchase
- 16:25at 5 Below at Lake Pleasant Happy Valley. 5 Below has become
- 16:28one of our biggest partners and what makes them so unique.
- 16:32They have such a wide range of stuff that you can stretch your
- 16:35dollars. I mean, you talk about going, if
- 16:37you say go in there and you're like, hey, day of giving,
- 16:39they're going to give you a little bit of a discount.
- 16:41Plus they're going to be really, you know, in tune with what
- 16:43stuff that we need. But we, we really appreciate 5
- 16:46below because they, we, we palletized 8 pallets yesterday
- 16:50of stuff and it's sitting there and I'm like, Hey, I can't pick
- 16:52it up until Monday because I have a place to put it.
- 16:54You know, it's not like I have a million square foot warehouse
- 16:58sitting around. I've, I've got stuff everywhere.
- 17:00So Monday, Tuesday is collecting our our stuff to bring to the to
- 17:04bring there. It's our sorting.
- 17:05So, so no, no, somebody's parked in your backyard.
- 17:09Yeah. No, because I know somebody's
- 17:10parked in his mind. Yeah, I'm like, I'm like it's,
- 17:14it's parked in front of businesses and in parking lots.
- 17:17We've got them. We, we do have stuff all over.
- 17:19And as much as you think we have, I, I want you just to, to
- 17:23go through the numbers. If you have 8000 kids, that's
- 17:258000 stockings, right? 8000 stockings with four to five
- 17:30items, that's about $12.00, right?
- 17:328000 * 1296 thousand just in stockings.
- 17:35Then you have the family meals. You've got 2000 family meals at
- 17:39roughly 38 to $40 a meal. Well, there's another 80,000.
- 17:42Then you've got the toys, and if you give 8000 kids 50 to $60.00
- 17:48in toys, there's $480,000 in toys.
- 17:51So when you look at the numbers, you start to understand the
- 17:54scale of what's going on. And that's before I pay for the
- 17:57BMX stunt team and the bouncy houses and all that.
- 18:00This is 100%, 100% community donations.
- 18:04These are 100% businesses in the Peoria community, persons in the
- 18:09business community, individuals like Jason Beck, they're they're
- 18:12every single dollar plus is utilized for this because we we
- 18:16put our money in the people on the board of the charity.
- 18:19We're we're not we're not we're not sitting there.
- 18:21This is a brand new charity according to us, and it's been
- 18:23around since May, you know, right, So every year prior the
- 18:28the funding has all been by the businesses and the community.
- 18:31This year we've actually gotten some nice sponsors like Peoria
- 18:33Ford. Peoria Ford's been in since day
- 18:36one. Albertson's, SRPAPS, Big Red
- 18:40Roof in my UK. I can go down the list of all
- 18:41the people that have been good. We're doing toy drives at
- 18:44Chick-fil-A. We we had to print 120,000
- 18:47Flyers for Chick-fil-A at 83rd Ave.
- 18:48Bellman. It's a that's a big number of
- 18:50Flyers. That's $7000 in Flyers, right at
- 18:53a discounted price. And don't don't forget we fix
- 18:56ugly pools. We fix ugly pools and of course
- 18:59advantage pools and landscape so.
- 19:02And the Chris and Mike show. And the Chris and Mike show
- 19:04most. Definitely.
- 19:05But I, but I will tell you that you know, we're, we're running
- 19:08so thin like we're, we're right now in a budget shortfall of
- 19:11about 45,000 going into 8 days before the 8 days before the
- 19:15show or 8 days before the event. Well, I don't have $45,000.
- 19:20That's why I'd give it to you. Well here, here's the crazy
- 19:22thing. I don't need 45,000 from you,
- 19:24but let's break 45,000 down into $150.00 increments and that's
- 19:28how many people we need to donate.
- 19:29It's not what we're asking for. A lot.
- 19:31Break that down. Simplify to stupid breakdown
- 19:3345,000 to to $50 a person. Tell me how many people that is.
- 19:37And there's enough people out there that hey, maybe, maybe you
- 19:40realize that instead of giving presents this year, you give an
- 19:44understanding that, hey, if we give to someone else, this $50
- 19:47is going to feed a family or this $50 is going to give
- 19:50Christmas to somebody who would not have it.
- 19:52It's not a, you know, I'm going to donate a little bit and it's
- 19:55going to go do this. You get the toys and tots toys
- 19:57Tots a great program, but a lot of those toys do not stay in the
- 20:00local market. It's a national organization.
- 20:03They determine where it goes. Every single dollar donated
- 20:06stays right here in the community.
- 20:08It, it, it encourages the community.
- 20:10It, it restores the community and it supports the community.
- 20:14And it's all done by, by, by people you know.
- 20:17Yeah. So in order so for people to
- 20:19give on the website I saw, let me just go back to it and I'll
- 20:22share the screen again. Do you have something as simple
- 20:27as AQR code that you can post and share like the video you the
- 20:31video you made the other day? I sent you a message.
- 20:33I want you to send me that so I can share it.
- 20:34OK, Because I mean, I can, I can share it off your page.
- 20:37I just want to put it on all my East Valley stuff because you
- 20:41and I are an hour apart. So if we weren't an hour apart,
- 20:44I would be so much more involved with what?
- 20:46You so go to the very top where it says donate.
- 20:48OK, donate right there. There you go.
- 20:49It goes right to the donation link.
- 20:51Just go ahead and. How to make a dollar?
- 20:54Yep. All the way down to the bottom.
- 20:56Well, I want people to see it. So 25 bucks provides a yeah, but
- 20:58you'll actually see it better. In the actual OK, back up, back
- 21:01up, back up. Back up, back up.
- 21:02Back up, back up. Don't eat now.
- 21:04Don't eat now. Gotcha.
- 21:05OK. So there's where it tells you
- 21:08how to make an impact. So if you look at it, $25 feeds
- 21:11a family, provides a full holiday meal, OK, $55 stuff a
- 21:15stocking gives children stocking.
- 21:16Obviously I just gave you the numbers on stocking so you know
- 21:19it's a big number, $100 gives toys and gifts to children, 250
- 21:23support a family, covers of meals, you know, toys,
- 21:26everything. 500 you get to actually bring some holiday
- 21:29magic. 1000 is community hero. You're doing you could donate as
- 21:33little as much as you want. If it's $5 we'll take it.
- 21:36The other thing is is this year we added the monthly
- 21:39reoccurring. Yeah, because realistically this
- 21:42year, that next year we know this events going to hit 20,
- 21:461000 people. I want you understand this,
- 21:48that's awesome. We would be over 20,000 right
- 21:50now if we had it open in more areas.
- 21:53Right now. We've kept it pretty tight in
- 21:55the Peoria, Glendale district. We're still getting a lot of
- 21:57bleed over from other areas, but we've, we've kept our, our
- 22:00marketing very close to that. So you know, the reality, the
- 22:04monthly ones, you can do a monthly donation if you donate
- 22:08$10 a month and you do it. So that's $60.00 a year.
- 22:12Imagine if I had 1000 people doing that, right, right.
- 22:14You know, it's, it's just an awesome thing.
- 22:16And the cool thing is, is every single dollar you donate is
- 22:20dollar for dollar tax write off. Yeah, that's fantastic.
- 22:24That is, that is outstanding man.
- 22:26It is outstanding to think in a decade you went from 40 people
- 22:30to 20,000 next year is it's mind blowing.
- 22:34Well, and, and people don't really understand the numbers.
- 22:37So a shop with a cop event, we're doing one tomorrow with
- 22:40the Peoria. And again, we do other
- 22:41fundraisers and stuff too. We're working with shop with a
- 22:43cop in Peoria. They, they, they affect 56 kids.
- 22:47Wow, 56. OK.
- 22:49It's it's a great experience. We're going to affect 8 to 10,
- 22:541000. That's amazing.
- 22:56It is. When you look at that, just
- 22:59multiply that every kid gets 4 to 5 toys.
- 23:03Yeah, that's that's fifty 100,000 toys.
- 23:06Toys aren't a dollar, guys. No.
- 23:08They're not even at the cheapest stores.
- 23:09They're 6:10, 12/15/20 dollars. And based on that video that he
- 23:13showed me, Brian, you have done your best to provide a quality
- 23:18product like. We're not.
- 23:20We don't put out a real. Christmas.
- 23:21Yeah, that's. So the presentation.
- 23:24Was just outstanding. Two things that we've never
- 23:26shorted ourselves on is, and again, we've paid out of pocket
- 23:30on this stuff for years and we're still paying out of
- 23:33pocket. It's not about the money, it's
- 23:36about the event and the experience.
- 23:38Dave and I have the true heart for, for doing this.
- 23:41The people who volunteer on the board that are involved
- 23:43everyday, people who donate, we're going to have 800
- 23:46volunteers, OK? The people who volunteer for
- 23:49this event, it's a true heart for giving.
- 23:51There's not a question on, oh, how's it going to come back to
- 23:53me? It's not about that.
- 23:54It's about what can we do to make an impact?
- 23:57So our businesses are now run to make an impact on the community.
- 24:02And is that the best way to be to, to, to live a real,
- 24:04comfortable, non stressful life? No, because now you're now
- 24:08you've taken on an event that needs you to be at your best all
- 24:12the time. You need your business to be at
- 24:14the best all the time so you can support the event to be at your
- 24:17best all the time. You take away time and effort
- 24:19from your family. I, I, I am, I got a text last
- 24:23night from Jessica. She said, Hey, do you think
- 24:25you're going to be able to spend some time with us this
- 24:28afternoon? Because there's so much, there's
- 24:31so much going on that that, that she's, she's basically, you
- 24:35know, and I'm like, I'm really sorry, you know, it, it sucks,
- 24:39but this is where we're at because there's no one else to
- 24:42do the work And you have to, you have to take ownership of, of
- 24:45this stuff. You can't just, you can't just
- 24:47expect that other people are going to have the same interest
- 24:50and involvement that you have. And you know, there's no the
- 24:55only gratification we get is seeing the smiles well, we get
- 24:58at the end of the day. Sure.
- 24:59Well, every kid. And just so people know, Jessica
- 25:01is is your your partner. Fiance.
- 25:06And fiance. And Little Bee's mommy.
- 25:08Yes. So because, you know, people are
- 25:12like, who's Jessica? Sorry, I apologize for that.
- 25:14You're OK. Clarify.
- 25:15I'm just like in the moment. You're OK.
- 25:17And while you were talking, I just put this, I put this on the
- 25:20Chris and Mike show page, the link, as well as on my personal
- 25:24page. And then I'll continue showing
- 25:25that 'cause you're going to see that video when we're off the
- 25:27show. I'm going to send you the.
- 25:29We we updated more videos yesterday.
- 25:31I'm going to send you those. I mean, we are, we are, like I
- 25:36said, we're, we're getting these 5/10/20 dollar donations.
- 25:39And I'll tell you every day we're making just a little bit
- 25:41of a dent, a little bit of a dent.
- 25:42The big push going to the holidays and, and again, for
- 25:45anybody who's listening, I get it, money's been tight this
- 25:47year. But I want you to think about
- 25:49everything that you have and how blessed you are.
- 25:51And when I tell you some of the letters that we read when kids
- 25:55asked for stuff from Santa, they fill out a letter to Santa.
- 25:58Chris, Mike, what was the number one thing kids are going to ask
- 26:00for when they letters to Santa? Toys.
- 26:03Yeah, toys. Computers.
- 26:05Really. Now.
- 26:06It's computers, you know. Yeah, but I'm saying, but you
- 26:08know, you've got game. Stations Computer.
- 26:10What do you think? What do you think these kids?
- 26:12What do you think these kids are asking for?
- 26:14IPods honestly, iPads, AI no no. These kids, they asked for
- 26:19people to be happy to see them. They asked for Oh, you told me
- 26:22that. Yeah, they asked.
- 26:23They asked for meals that they can eat twice a day.
- 26:25They they asked not to go hungry when school's out of session.
- 26:28They asked for bombing Daddy not to be drug addicts.
- 26:31They asked for their parents not to be dead. 40 percent, 40% of
- 26:36our enrolled kid, parent parent enrolled guardians are foster
- 26:41homes and grandparents, foster homes and grandparents, 40%
- 26:45absent, absent parents, dead parents, prison parents.
- 26:49These kids are these kids are growing up in in there's,
- 26:51there's this one lady who called me.
- 26:53She says I, I really, I want to tell you, I thank you.
- 26:55I live in a 55 plus community. I have to sneak my kids.
- 26:58I have to sneak the kids in and out.
- 26:59They're not allowed to play outside because we're in a 55
- 27:01plus community because she has no way else of supporting them.
- 27:05She's on Social Security. I had another lady call me.
- 27:08She said, hey, I want to let you know that I had my grandkids
- 27:10because my kid was in prison and they gave them to me.
- 27:15I'm, I'm living, I'm 65 years old living on Social Security.
- 27:18I have nothing to give them. I brought them to this event and
- 27:20you guys treated us so, so well. She goes, my daughter got out of
- 27:24prison, got the kids back and I haven't seen them since.
- 27:26But I wanted to let you know how life changing it was for me.
- 27:29So I'm signing up to volunteer this year and I'm bringing my
- 27:32older grandkids to actually participate in the events.
- 27:35When I start posting the stuff that we get, it's it's mind
- 27:40blowing, mind blowing. But when you see a kid just
- 27:44being like, hey, I just want someone happy to see me, you
- 27:47know, think about that. Yeah, that's amazing, dude.
- 27:52It's nuts. It'll.
- 27:54Change your life for sure. Yes, and I'm talking because I'm
- 27:58just like, you know, I'm so like.
- 28:01Well, I was going to say earlier, man, you guys, it's
- 28:05obviously your and your partner's exuberance for what
- 28:08you're doing that has made this a success.
- 28:10I mean, you can feel how much this means to you.
- 28:14You know, some people are going through the motions.
- 28:17We're letting you talk, obviously, because we're getting
- 28:20close to the crunch time for you.
- 28:22And this is so near and dear to your heart.
- 28:24But your exuberance and your passion for what you guys have
- 28:28created is just overwhelming, man.
- 28:32Well, like I said, when you guys, when you come out there, I
- 28:35know Mike, you won't be there, but.
- 28:36I would if I was there. I mean, that's what your passion
- 28:39has done for me too. And I've always said Christmas
- 28:41is for the kids, man. Yep, a kid should.
- 28:44We never do not have a crisp, but you know they should never
- 28:47not have this one Christmas. I love the Angel Tree IDs.
- 28:50I've done the Angel Trees. I've go.
- 28:51Yeah, you have company. We buy 1020 Angel Trees every
- 28:54year. Chris, you know you worked for
- 28:55me. We did it.
- 28:56Yeah, but I never felt like I was making enough of a
- 29:00contribution like I was. I was, I was I was doing what
- 29:03most people do. You know, I donated or you walk
- 29:06by the Salvation Army. I gave you 5 bucks.
- 29:08Well, you know, that's. Right, right, right, right.
- 29:10Yeah. I wanted to, I wanted to create
- 29:13something so awesome that someday when these kids are
- 29:18looking back on it, not all these kids are going to stay in
- 29:20this kind of poverty situation. 99% of the people we have are
- 29:24poverty stricken. They're living in areas, they're
- 29:27living paycheck to paycheck, parents lost jobs, are on access
- 29:29or on Social Security, whatever it is, right?
- 29:32But these kids aren't always going to stay there.
- 29:33They're going to grow up and they're going to make a
- 29:36difference in this world and they're going to change.
- 29:38Now they have. You're starting to change lives,
- 29:41right? Yes.
- 29:42Right, you're building a culture.
- 29:43That's it. Exactly, exactly.
- 29:46They're going to remember a positive experience in one of
- 29:49the most negative times in their life.
- 29:51Right, exactly. You build the culture, somebody
- 29:53wants to help. If there's a little kid who
- 29:55wants to help, you let them help because that that is ingrained
- 29:57in them. Then they start realizing how
- 29:59good it feels to help. And then they'll continue
- 30:01helping as they as they mature and grow.
- 30:03And all of a sudden they're 30 years old and they're helping,
- 30:06giving back to you being on a regular basis because why you
- 30:08let them help when they were five, 6-7 years old.
- 30:11Well, here's the other thing. We have volunteers that come out
- 30:14that are some of our volunteers are 1213 years old and they're
- 30:18on the 7th and 8th year participating, you know, so as
- 30:22as the attendees grow up, so do the volunteers that's.
- 30:25Amazing. And some of our are more
- 30:27experienced volunteers. They, they like, they're bosses,
- 30:30man. They're like, Oh yeah, this is
- 30:31what we do. You know, they're like, it's so
- 30:33cool to see a nine year old so confident in what they're doing.
- 30:36Like, Oh no, I'm in the toy room.
- 30:37That's what I'm going to do. And they're grabbing kids.
- 30:40So this year we're trying to streamline a lot of the issues
- 30:42we've had. So we're tagging our volunteers
- 30:46that are bilingual with orange wristbands.
- 30:47We're tagging Spanish only with orange wristbands so you can
- 30:50connect people. We, we've really worked on being
- 30:53able to make the experience. Hey, if I see you and I'm
- 30:56Spanish, right, I know this, I want you to have a good
- 30:59experience. They're going to walk up to you
- 31:00and be like, hey. You know, so if you get
- 31:03something from Cuba, I can talk like Tony Montana and I can
- 31:05help. You do that because I don't have
- 31:07any Cubans. I can do Cuba, put a code
- 31:09refugee and then you know, you could talk about the battle and
- 31:11if they're, if they're from Ireland or Scotland, I can help
- 31:13them definitely. You know, we talked about the
- 31:15potato famine. I hate to say but you're not
- 31:17getting a wristband. No wristband for me, no
- 31:19wristband for. Me, I wouldn't give you more
- 31:21either unless I was looking for Comic Relief.
- 31:24You're gonna get a T-shirt that says volunteer on it in English.
- 31:27I can do. Thank you.
- 31:28Come again. Would you like some presents?
- 31:30Come here, please. I give you presents, all kinds
- 31:31of presents. What kind of presents do you
- 31:33want? We have all kinds of presents.
- 31:34We have presents for everybody. Give him one that says volunteer
- 31:36and then in big red letters in training.
- 31:39In training, volunteer training wheels fell off Sorry.
- 31:47That's awesome. So you have to, we have to make
- 31:50this an East Valley, West Valley thing because if you, if you can
- 31:53start it, if you can start branching over the East Valley,
- 31:55that I can be heavily involved. So then you have both parts of
- 31:58the valley. Right.
- 32:00That that's the plan. That's the plan.
- 32:02Because I think that would be fantastic.
- 32:05So I'm going to share all your stuff.
- 32:06You're going to send me some videos?
- 32:08Anything else you want to share? You want to talk about man?
- 32:11All I'm asking people is to see in their hearts, you know, if
- 32:14they can see it in their hearts to make a difference this year.
- 32:17You know, realize that we're not asking you to send us $45,000.
- 32:21We're asking you to sign up and donate.
- 32:22You know your time, your love, You know your, your, your good
- 32:27wishes. Share our links, donate a few
- 32:30dollars, a few dollars makes a difference.
- 32:32And then find a few more people to to share a few dollars.
- 32:34This is the real deal. This is community helping
- 32:36community. This is a, as you can tell by
- 32:40the bags, I'm not sleeping and we're, we're working as long and
- 32:43hard as we can. I woke up this morning just
- 32:45completely wiped out. And you know, next week hasn't
- 32:47even started yet, right? So I, I, I tell people we're,
- 32:51you know, we're on the 20th Christmas is four or five days
- 32:54away from our event. The, the event's going to impact
- 32:57directly people in the community.
- 32:59So if you could donate, you know, please do give what you
- 33:02can. I'm not asking you to give more
- 33:04than you can, but if you can donate your time.
- 33:07We need volunteers. We're we're going to need
- 33:10massive amounts of volunteers and.
- 33:12For me to so for me to come out on the 20th, I go to website and
- 33:15I sign up as a volunteer. Yes.
- 33:17OK, I'll do that. The only reason why we want
- 33:19people to sign up is because it gives us a better idea of our
- 33:21T-shirts, shirt sizes and then obviously who's coming so we can
- 33:24start putting people in the right.
- 33:25Places understood And why we were sitting here listening to
- 33:28your story. I gave you some money.
- 33:29So there you go. I didn't add, I didn't add a
- 33:34comment or anything. I just, I just, I don't like to,
- 33:36you know, look at me. But I did give you some money.
- 33:39I I do see that. That's how.
- 33:40So, so you don't. So you're less than now you're
- 33:43less than four now you're less than 45,000.
- 33:45And I'm probably going to go on there, do a monthly thing.
- 33:47I do a month. Yeah.
- 33:48Oh, it shows. It damn it right there.
- 33:51I thought it would be because I didn't do notes.
- 33:53I thought it would be just be like you couldn't see it.
- 33:56No, it it, it comes right to my phone.
- 34:00I believe me. I I monitor this stuff.
- 34:02I I'm constantly reworking budget.
- 34:04So like yesterday we were only going to spend so much at at 5
- 34:08below we went live, we got a few more donations.
- 34:11Yeah, I was like, OK, as the donations are coming out, I'm
- 34:13spending another 250, I'm spending another 500, I'm
- 34:16spending on this. So we went what from what our
- 34:17budget was, we were able to spend another $3500 yesterday
- 34:20just from people who donated while we were on a live video.
- 34:23Yeah, that's cool. And I might challenge anybody
- 34:25watching this that sees this, go do something.
- 34:27Even if it's 5 bucks, you can do 5 bucks.
- 34:28I'm going to do a monthly one too, but I wanted to actually
- 34:30just see how it worked while we're on the phone, while we're
- 34:32on the show here and I see how it works.
- 34:34It's really simple to do. It really took me like 2 minutes
- 34:35to do it. So not hard to do.
- 34:38So 5 bucks to 1000 bucks. I mean, it's, I mean really just
- 34:41don't go out to eat once a month.
- 34:42And you can, you can give to the entire community of Peoria West
- 34:46Valley. You can feed clothes and help
- 34:49have a Christmases for kids that don't have it.
- 34:52And like Brian said, it's you're not getting the ones that that
- 34:56don't need it. You're getting the ones that get
- 34:58the free meals and the free breakfast.
- 34:59They're the ones that go to school on the same clothes every
- 35:01day. There's another organization I'm
- 35:03a part of. I'm not going to steal your
- 35:04Thunder. They kind of do the same thing
- 35:06and they're focused on the title one school.
- 35:08So they're focused on the kids that don't have enough.
- 35:10They're living mouth to mouth. There's.
- 35:11A crazy thing. So Peoria, everything's Peoria
- 35:15of everything north of Bell Road.
- 35:16OK Peoria, north of Bell Road, fairly affluent Peoria, South of
- 35:20Bell Road. One of the poorest school
- 35:23districts in there. So title one.
- 35:26But here's the thing. When these kids don't have
- 35:29school, right, they're on on break or they're on on summer
- 35:32break, how do they eat right? Most of them don't.
- 35:36Yeah, they don't. Yeah, that's that hand to mouth
- 35:39thing like Lily, you're, you're, you're living hand to mouth.
- 35:42Like it's not, it's not a joke. That's why it pisses me off when
- 35:46there was somebody I came across not too long ago, bought a house
- 35:49for major discount and fixed it, flipped it.
- 35:52And then, you know, he told me he gave the proceeds to an
- 35:56orphanage in in Mexico. Really.
- 35:58Really. Mexico.
- 36:00Yep. What about America, man?
- 36:03What about our backyard? You live in my backyard and
- 36:05you're taking the money you post that you made because oh, I
- 36:07don't need the money. I've made enough money in my
- 36:08lifetime and you give it to another country?
- 36:11What about our backyard, man? What about the kids that don't
- 36:14have enough? Well, that's what's always
- 36:16gotten me is ever since I was a kid, we talked about and, and
- 36:19I'm not saying kids in other countries don't need it.
- 36:22Let's drive. Let's drive down to central
- 36:24Phoenix. Let's drive down.
- 36:25Let's drive down the the I-17. Let's drive down the 101, the US
- 36:2960. Let's see the homeless people
- 36:31sleeping on the street, right. Let's see our veterans that are
- 36:33being left out in the cold that are that are that are dealing
- 36:36with PTSD and other emotional, physical and, and, and, and.
- 36:41Emotional financial problems. And we're not, we're not able to
- 36:44to assist them, but we're able to give money to assist.
- 36:47It just doesn't make. Sense to me?
- 36:48No, I agree. No, I agree.
- 36:49I understand something. We are year round organization.
- 36:52This is our this is our top flagship event.
- 36:54So the reason why the monthly donations are important is
- 36:56because we do other things. We feed those title one kids
- 36:59during the summer. We do backpack drives.
- 37:01Last year 2500 backpacks, we helped 300 teachers.
- 37:05We don't just supply the kids. We're always going one step
- 37:08beyond. So we do the backpack drive as
- 37:12well, which helps the kids and the teachers.
- 37:14So there's a lot of kids. We don't just give them
- 37:16backpacks, we give them haircuts and we get them my exams and we
- 37:19get them. I mean, think about the fact of
- 37:21the depth of our events is not just it's not just one sided.
- 37:25It's like, oh, you came in and got a backpack.
- 37:27Cool. No, we got you a back to school
- 37:30haircut. We got you a vision test to make
- 37:31sure we're on the right thing. We find you a dental provider.
- 37:34We get you assistance. There's there's people who will
- 37:37show up that are hiring. So the people that are lost
- 37:39jobs. So we're, we're adding more and
- 37:42more and more and more and more to actually put you on a better
- 37:45path for that. Because there's kids that are
- 37:48like, I was afraid to go to school because I was like a bum.
- 37:50Foster houses that bring 10:15 kids that come in and they're
- 37:53just like, they don't care what the craft packs.
- 37:54They're getting a haircut from a professional Barber.
- 37:58That's awesome. Is that Wooten Wooten
- 38:00Barbershop? No, it's.
- 38:02Come on, Kyle. It's actually the Barber call
- 38:04that sends out 15/20/2020 people and they cut hair 5/6 an hour
- 38:09for straight 8 hours. OK, so this talks about a little
- 38:12bit what you just what you just touched on.
- 38:14So the backpack drives, This is why Brian said it's an it's an
- 38:17annual thing. It's not just it's not just day
- 38:18of giving. So you have a backpack drives
- 38:20right there, right? Then you have your holiday
- 38:22sport, then you have your year round programs and you have all
- 38:24your local partners. So this is something you can
- 38:27make an impact on on a monthly basis, year round, not just one
- 38:29time we'll send. You.
- 38:31Yeah, go ahead, go ahead. We'll send you newsletters,
- 38:35you're gonna get pictures, you're gonna hear letters from
- 38:37the community, you're gonna get videos.
- 38:39The idea is we're not. We're not just wanting you to
- 38:42donate your money. Honestly, the money allows us to
- 38:45facilitate the operation, the rental, the facilities, allows
- 38:48us to know where we are budgetarily, so we know where
- 38:50we're at when we shop. We shop as a 5O1C3 so we don't
- 38:54pay taxes. We're able to negotiate deals
- 38:56with suppliers. So there's our dollars.
- 38:58Go a lot further, right? Yeah.
- 39:00But more importantly, we're connecting with you as a partner
- 39:04in our event. We need people who are
- 39:08emotionally we invested as much as financially and sometimes the
- 39:11emotional investment is greater for us than the financial
- 39:13investment. Because when we need volunteers
- 39:17to show up and 700 and 5800 volunteers are needed.
- 39:20Think about how many I'm going to need when that events 20,000
- 39:23kids. What if we take over the
- 39:24Cardinal Stadium? I want you to think about this.
- 39:26I want you to think we grew from a field, A1 acre field and
- 39:30helped 100 kids and fed 40 families to to where we're at.
- 39:33We're going to feed over 2000. Well, in order for us to handle
- 39:3620,000 I need a bigger venue. Yep, right.
- 39:39Yep. Wouldn't you like to be a part
- 39:41of that? Like to, to, to, to, like to,
- 39:44like, be involved in that, to say, yeah, I do that.
- 39:48The mayor of Peoria came out last year and said this is
- 39:51singly the largest day of giving in the state of Arizona.
- 39:55Singly, the single largest day of giving the state of Arizona
- 39:58100% of the community dollars goes back into the community.
- 40:02That's rare. That's absolutely rare.
- 40:05So you want to find out more about this?

- 40:42Complex, all the information on the website.
- 40:44So you definitely want to be involved in this.
- 40:46You definitely want to do something that's going to help
- 40:47stay within the community because that's the biggest thing
- 40:50we talked about a lot of these big organizations of American
- 40:53Red Cross, all those kind of folks, none of the dollars stay
- 40:55locally. Brian set this up.
- 40:57Brian and David Bell set this up to everything stays local.
- 41:00It helps local people, helps local kids, families.
- 41:03It's fantastic. And everybody likes to give
- 41:05during the Christmas season. So let's just champion everybody
- 41:07to do, you know, do a one time and instead of a monthly because
- 41:10again, monthly is going to help him year round.
- 41:13Right there, man. Yeah, it is.
- 41:14I think the most important thing that Brian said in this whole
- 41:17time is take a look around at what you have, right?
- 41:21It's real easy to say, well, money's tight for me too.
- 41:25Well, is it, you know, when you're, I'm sitting here looking
- 41:28at a $3000 computer and you know, it's real hard to say I
- 41:33don't have $25 to donate to your cause or anybody else's 'cause
- 41:37when I have so much, right? That's the most important thing
- 41:41that you said during this whole time.
- 41:43Look at what you have. Yeah.
- 41:45Well, I think, I think, I think what happens is, is we all have
- 41:48this version of where we're at, right?
- 41:54And as we get more, we have more bills, we have more stuff, we
- 41:59have a different version of what we have.
- 42:00And I don't have this. I don't have this.
- 42:02It's not about being thankful for what we have.
- 42:04It's about wondering what we don't have or being like on that
- 42:06pursuit. That's what that's what the
- 42:08American dream is, right? The pursuit of buying more shit.
- 42:11And let's be honest. Otherwise.
- 42:13Otherwise Walmarts and Targets wouldn't exist.
- 42:15Well, that's why what Chris said is important.
- 42:18You cannot go out to dinner one night a month, right?
- 42:21To provide somebody else with, I think you said it when we tried
- 42:26to do this the first time, how much does $25 feed for?
- 42:30Families and and be honest about this.
- 42:32You can't go out to dinner anymore for less than 100 bucks.
- 42:34Of course you so and if you have a family of four, you're talking
- 42:37$200 easy. So stay.
- 42:39Go get a rotisserie chicken from Costco for 6 bucks.
- 42:41And instead of that $200 feed your family of four, it's going
- 42:45to feed 24 exactly right? Yeah, so just take one night a
- 42:49month, go buy a Costco chicken, go buy a bag of potatoes and get
- 42:52some corn, sweet corn, make it at home and take that 200 bucks
- 42:55and give it to Brian. Hey, man.
- 42:57There you go. I'm Chris.
- 42:58He's Mike. This is Brian Morse day of
- 43:00givingaz.org. You want to go check out the
- 43:02website? You want to go help this man do
- 43:04what he does on a grand scale? It all stays in Arizona.
- 43:07It all stays in the community. I can't think of a better thing
- 43:10to do. So if you don't live in Arizona,
- 43:12but you want to help us, that's great.
- 43:14Do so because why not, right? Make you know, it feeds your
- 43:17soul. Giving back feeds your soul.

- 44:20away. Sorry to transgress, but they're
- 44:24really trying to to put the the power back in big pharma because
