• 1:34
  Speaker 1: talked about it a few weeks ago, the sky Trail

  Speaker 4: So our Scout camp has a wall of climbing wall,
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: a zipline, and we have a little the creqrance there,
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: and so I know that not a lot of people
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: around here get the opportunity to zipline or climb a wall,
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: and I thought it'd be fun to open it to
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: the public so that they could come see what our
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Scouts get to experience. And also a collaboration with SA
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Hills because it starts at the state park we share
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: a boundary line with, right.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been out there a few times for cob
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Scout camping trips and things like that. I spent a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: few nights out there in the grass. Yeah, that's a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: lot of fun. But this event, tell us what does
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: it consists of. It's a really skytrail adventure challenge. It's
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: where does it start and how does this?
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: So it starts at s Hills by the bike trails
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: and you run the red trail goes straight into our camp.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: It's about it's about two and a half miles and
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: then you'll climb our wall. It's just twenty four feet
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: so it's a small wall, and then you take the
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: stairs the rest of the way to the top of
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: our and you zip line down and then you'll run
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: over to the water and kayak a little ways and
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: turn around come back, and then you'll run back about
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: two and a half miles back to the park.

• 3:16
  Speaker 4: in twenty five minutes or something.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Wow, so it's twenty five minutes.
• 3:25

  Speaker 1: Yes, it's really cool and a lot of good stuff
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: going on there always, and you know you have people
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that may not understand the recycling program. How does that work?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: And if people want to help you with that, what
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: do they do?
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so we actually get credit for everything that people
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: recycle with us, which is great. We have cardboard, plastic
• 6:45

• 6:50
  Speaker 4: our recycling areas right by our office and it's open
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: all the time, so like there's drop offs.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, do you prefer to be organized and separate the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: very organized?
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, cardboard box is broken down and nothing in plastic
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: bags loose in there.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's awesome stuff. And that's Sustainability Alliance. They were
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: on our show a few a couple of months ago
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and they had mentioned your your program was atment. But
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: that's super cool that you got that honor. Really to
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: get that Ye, that badge of honor there, you know
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: that done just shares some of the not that particular one.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: But we are the only lead certified UH dealership in
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the state of Oklahoma. We got we are just base
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: level lead certified, but really proud of that and you know,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: build our new Toyota dealership as a as a lead
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: program using local construction companies and developers who've never been
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: in a lead lead construction thing before, and and all
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: all that is is really just good using good building
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: practice and sustainable resources and as much you know, we
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: did geothermal heat and air and a lot of LED
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. And you know, we've been looking
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: at at solar actually uh for a project maybe next
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: year or something where we have that big roof on
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the body shop and on Toyota. And you know, we
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: looked at it before and but the payoff on that
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: it would be pretty short. Today I think it's gotten
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: more more. You know. Some of that is the tax
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: credits and stuff that come with those programs today, but
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: they certainly are good. We could potentially cover the entire
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: electric bill of both buildings and pay for itself in
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: under three years. It's really incredible neat deal. So we'll
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: be looking at that, always looking for new ways to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: advance at at Dungeons and and keep things simple, as
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: we say, always looking to to do the right thing
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: for our customers and our community. And we next week
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I won't be here. I'll be at the Toyota National
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Dealer meeting or in car show, hopefully getting a lot
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: of good information from them, and I can bring back
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: to the show. We'll see I mean, I mean, if
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: there's time, I'll see if I can call in.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: And comes back smiling from the things because he knows
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: something well.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Toyota does a great job at these things. They really
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: do a national meeting, so it's Ford often has done
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: it in waves where we come and we're in smaller
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: groups and it's kind of in and out and there
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: you go, and Toyota's got it over several days and
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: it's the whole nation and it's a really you know,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: we see we hear from the very top of the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: of the organization all the way down. We see a
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: great future product. We we hear about their plans all
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: all through uh you know that their organization, what's what's
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: coming and and then uh, you know, get to really
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: excited about what we're doing. That's a big part of it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: And and it's a fun party too. They have a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: lot of great entertainment often and it is fun.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: And they also get to see all the cool new
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: vehicles for anybody else.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're the people have been asking. There's rumors about
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: a smaller truck below under Tacoma which I should mention.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: We have nine Tacomas in stock right now. That's that's
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: a lot, that's that's new and used all together. But
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: that's that's incredible. We've been I mentioned we were buying toyotas.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: We have bought several used Tacomas in the last couple
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: of weeks several wrap fours those sold already, so we
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: bought a couple more. We're but if you have a
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: used Toyota you're looking to sell, be sure to take
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: it by and have Bruce take a look at it.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: He's offering top dollar for those, and we certainly make
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: it simple for you to sell your car. I mentioned
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: also that the simple way we do business, and you
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: know that really is just about our noncommissioned sales team
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and how they take care of our people with upfront
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: pricing and no hidden junk fees or add on. So
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: you know, we we'd like to help you validate our
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: pricing with third parties. You know, you always go and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: check price on on us, and we will help you
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: make sure that you're getting a great deal. We do.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: We have really competitive interest rates and make sure that
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you know we work. We have we have typically you
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: know the same price online, on the lot, on the phone.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: You know, it's not going to change when when you
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: get there or anything. So really important to remember the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: shop at Dungeus, we do it different and that is
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the dealer that makes the difference. So there you go.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: So Tiffany, if you're from around here too, you grew
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: up in Bartlesville, I believe, and tell us about how
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: you ended up working at the Scouts. That's such a
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: neat organization.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: You know, it is like a girl Scout And my
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: brother was in boy Scouts and my dad.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Is very heavily involved in scouting still.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and he heard of this opening and so I
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: got to interview with the best boss that anyone could
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: ever have. And so that's been about four or five
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: years ago.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really great. Yeah, yeah, I was back early
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: in my career. I was a development coordinator for the
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Nature Conservancy and that, you know, fundraising and working in
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: the nonprofit world is such a great thing to really
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: care about what you do, and yeah, really focus your
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: passion one in your case, on people's helping them learn
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and develop into great adults.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, and fantastic.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: And we you know, I mentioned the strength of our
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: area of troops and you know, I know we've always
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: had a bunch of Eagle Scouts and all kinds of troops.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: You know, if people you mentioned your recruiting now and
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: getting people involved, you know what tell us about scouting
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and just I know, I know enough to be dangerous.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: You're you and me both. Yeah, so I.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Mean it starts at Cub Scouts or we blows, then
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: then Boy Scouts, and I assume that's still kind of
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: how it is.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: Cub Scouts is the younger kids in elementary school, and
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: then you move up to Scouts BSA now or Scouting
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: America is what it will soon be.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: And it's boys and girls.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Correct, yes, yeah, so the younger kids are impacts together
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: and then when you get to troops as older kids,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: they have boy troops and girl troops. Okay, so they're
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: they're separate there, but it's a mentoring program. It's a
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: they developing leadership skills. So when you get in the troops,
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: especially the youth run everything right and the mentors where
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: they're just as mentors and so it's great for building
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: character and leadership skills and learning about society and citizenship.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and you don't have to start at the beginning.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Oh no, no, you can start anytime. Yeah.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: So that's I think a lot Sometimes people might think like, well,
• 14:17

• 14:22
  Speaker 1: kind of enter whenever you want.
• 14:24

  Speaker 1: What's the best way to find out?
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Cherokee bsa dot org have our recycling program on there,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: and there's a link to sign up for this race
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: on there as well.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, or you can come in and see us.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, drop by awesome. And where are you located?
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: You mentioned that before, but where's the headquarters on the
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: street down by the.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Light on the on the at the intersection with Adams,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Adams and Kapa. So I'll be driving right by there
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: on my way back to the dealership and just to
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: say so anyway, that's uh, that's great to hear about
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: that event and what's going on there. I mentioned a
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: few of the great deals going on right now out
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: at the dealership. There are some neat things that we've
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: got going They just announced on the the manufacturers have
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: all their new incentives out right, so they've got interest
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: rate deals, new rebates. Combined with that, there's some things
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: on the edge Escape Explore. Those things have great interest
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: rate and big rebates that have just been announced, so
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: you can check all that out on our website. We've
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: got a good inventory of all those vehicles. There's some
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: great pricing too on Tundra this month. We've got interest
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: rate specials, really great leases right now and a lot
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: of the vehicles we've done more. We have done more
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: and more leasing in the last couple of months and
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: what we're you know, higher interest rates have certainly put
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: some pressure on people to look for different ways to
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: keep their payment lower, and leasing is an option. It
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: also some people have been able to take advantage of
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: the lease to help them get out of an equity position.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: So if you do have something that where you owe
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: more than it's worth, a lease is a way to
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: you know, you've got to be able to finance that
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: into it. But once you get done with your lease,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: you don't have the equity problem because you can the
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: vehicle goes back to the manufacturer and you don't have
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: any issues with the ownership of that vehicle. You have
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: choice if you want to keep it, you can. But
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: essentially with the lease, you're buying part of vehicle miles
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: and it comes it needs to come back in a
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: certain condition, but you know, not like new, but just
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: average wear and tear. It's fine. So say you buy,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: you get buy three years and fifteen thousand miles a year,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: so you bring it back of forty five thousand miles
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: three years later. You can make the choice of do
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I want to buy it for the preset and determined
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: at the beginning price, or just potentially buy a new
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: new one, or or walk away all together. And maybe
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: you don't need a people, I don't know, but you
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: can also do great one pay leases. This is where
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: you actually pay for it all at once. There's some
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: incredible value in that. People often, you know, we see
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of people who want to may have cash
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and just want to buy the vehicle, and that's great,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: of course, but looking at it another way, you can
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: buy a vehicle that might cost say twenty three thousand
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: dollars on a I'm looking at a camera at twenty
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: five Camra Lee that's got a cost of about thirty
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: four hundred a MSRP, and you can buy it for
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: twenty four months and twelve thousand miles a year for
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: just under twelve thousand dollars. So that's if you break
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: that down by month, that's a pretty pretty good value
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: and certainly a good way to think about it. I
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: mentioned the lower payments on traditional leases. Toyota has several
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: great deals this month Coroa at two twenty nine, a
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: month Camera at two ninety nine, RAB four at three
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: twenty nine. I mentioned the Tundras and Tacomas. They really
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: lease swell. These are four x two's, and it's always
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: a specific model on these examples I'm giving. It may
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: be a little different depending on the vehicle you choose
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: in the different trim levels and options that are on them.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: But you have payments on a Tacoma at four x
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: two double cab around two sixty nine a month for
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: thirty six months. You need about four thousand dollars at signing,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: but that's a really great low payment. So you can
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: check all that out on our website too. You can
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: go and pick your vehicle and actually work your own deal.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: It'll go in there and compare lease to a traditional
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: finance deal. The all the all the rebates and discounts
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: are in there. There's clear pricing, and you can just
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: go in there just like the sales manager does when
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: you come into the dealership and calculate your payment and
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: kind of work your own deal. It's it's pretty cool.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: We're getting ready to deploy some new technology with the
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: sales team. They'll be able to actually do that with
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: you on the showroom floor. Cool, and you know it's
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: going to allow them to have a lot more flexibility,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: less of the up and back and forth between the
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: salesman and the manager. It's really going to speed up
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: car deal even more, I think, and it's already half
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: make it more transparent, trying to keep it simple, but
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: also use this great new technology we have these days,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: and definitely, uh you know, got to keep changing, looking
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: for new ways to to evolve and change our processes
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: selling cars. That's going to make the experience all the
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: more better, I hope. So, yeah, no, that's our goal.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: We are always looking to help, you know, we know,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: we know we're not perfect everybody, you know, everybody makes mistakes.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: It's how we respond to those issues, you know. That
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I think really separates Dunge just and always trying to
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: get better at what we do. And every day everybody
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: is getting better all the time. So I mentioned I'll
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: be at the Toyota National Dealer meeting next week. I
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: think Jason will probably be here. He's got Kevin Connor
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: coming to talk about the Bartlesville Regional fly in, which
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: is another is a great event if people haven't been
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: to one. I used to go to them all the time.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I'm our good old friend Charlie Harris was a really
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: good friend of my uncle Bob's and they work together
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: in a business relationship through Charlie's Leasing company and Tulsa
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: for a long time. But Charlie was the one who
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: the vision behind the fly in for decades. And you know,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: so this is one that we've you know, while we
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not something that needs me to make
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: it happen. That's a great show and it's a really
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: effent going on for a long time. So well, you'll
