1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: This next story. Guys, I've heard about it a little

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: bit over the years, hadn't paid a ton of attention

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: to it, but then no one. We're going to talk

4
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: to Jeff George this morning. I started to do some

5
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: more research on It's just a very cool story and

6
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun and it's a great way

7
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: to catch up as well. Jeff George, former quarterback that

8
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: we all know the story for the Indianapolis Colts and

9
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: around the National Football League from Indiana, has been up

10
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: to some great things lately, and we thought we'd talked

11
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: about that with him, and we invite him now to

12
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: the show on the Payleislickers Hotline. Good morning, Jeff. How

13
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:28,880

00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 2: Thanks for being on here.

16
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: They're calling you the Christmas quarterback these days. Could you

17
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: have imagined that twenty years ago being known as the

18
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: Christmas quarterback in your home state?

19
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 2: I know, well, I think that might be. That's a

20
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: good thing to be known for. I guess been doing

21
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: it for quite a while. I just you know, I

22
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 2: got into the league and came back Andy and obviously

23
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: played for the Colts. Just trying to do some nice

24
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: things around the city. And just like everybody does, I'm

25
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: not the only one that does it, but there's a

26
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: lot of people help out in the community. It's just

27
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: that time of year and I just want to help

28
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: out as many families, as many kids as we can.

29
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: So we started, you know, like I said, a long

30
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: time ago, but we had an event three weeks ago

31
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: out of a Walmart and we're able to sponsor about

32
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 2: fifty families and each family was able to have a

33
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: nice Christmas. Each one got about five hundred dollars a

34
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: shop at a local Walmart and you know, just not

35
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 2: just made their day, it made my day as well.

36
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: So we're just trying trying to tinue that tradition and

37
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: you know, take it to the next level and over

38
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: the course of the next year, trying to do a

39
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 2: sponsor two thousand families that you know, to to allow

40
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: them to have a great Christmas as well. So you know,

41
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: it's getting close. And if anybody out there can just

42
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 2: help out and you know, do their part and just

43
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: want to donate to a great cause, you know, you

44
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,440

Speaker 2: just help out as much you can so and it's

46
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: it's very much appreciated.

47
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: Again, we have Jeff George on the line, and Jeff,

48
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 3: I'm actually in Illinois alum James Boyd here and so

49
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: my first knowledge of you were as being the number

50
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: one pick from Mama Matter. And so it's kind of,

51
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: you know, full circle to have you here on the

52
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 3: phone lines and being Indiana myself working these days. And

53
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: for those listening again, you can go to Christmas QB

54
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: dot com you want to donate to his great Holiday

55
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: season endeavors. And so, Jeff, let's start with, you know,

56
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 3: the wildest story of the NFL this past week, Philip

57
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 3: Rivers coming out of retirement to play quarterbacks. So I'm

58
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: looking at you and your resume. Could you get back

59
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: out there at your age?

60
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: You know, I think I probably could have handled the

61
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,119
Speaker 2: game plan last week and yeah, I'll just just don't

62
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 2: hit me, you know, I would, I would have got

63
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: pretty quick. But but yeah, it was you know, it's

64
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: a really good steal, good story. I've been there. I've

65
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: been there, you know, trying to come back at that

66
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: age and you know, just to go out there and

67
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: steam on the field and you know, future Hall of

68
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 2: Famer and and all that. That was awesome, But but

69
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: I'm a fan of like, you know, guys like Riley

70
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: Big Leonard, and I'm I'm a big fan of of

71
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson, and I was really hoping and that that

72
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: ar would be able to get out there and and

73
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: show what he can do, you know, going through a

74
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: lot with all the injuries he had last year and

75
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: then you know now this year, and I just want

76
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 2: to see what he can do, you know, big guy,

77
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: big physical guy, big arm. You know, I know everybody

78
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: has weaknesses, but uh been here a while now, and

79
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 2: I'm excited to get him back outfield. It's great to

80
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: see Philip, you know, especially like I said, I've been

81
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: in that and in his shoes before and went out

82
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: and uh didn't screw anything up you know, last week,

83
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: and I think that's pretty much what they uh uh

84
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: you know wanted with what his job was last week,

85
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: and I almost came away with it. And you know,

86
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: another week of practice, I know he's going to be

87
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: more uh prepared and physically feel a little bit better,

88
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: and I know he's got some confidence. But but man,

89
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: you know, you have a you know, a guy like

90
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: Anthony and Richardson I just uh, especially when you need

91
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: probably two wins out of these next three games, with

92
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: a couple of tough defenses coming on, and with what

93
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: he brings and you know, able to run the ball

94
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: like he did last year, It'd just be excited to

95
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: see what he can do. And if he's not going

96
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: to be a future cult, you know, just give him

97
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: opportunity to go out there and you know, for other

98
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: teams to show what he can do and you know,

99
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: get a chance to play the next ten years. But

100
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: but I'm also the you know, a Riley Letter fan,

101
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: you know, a rookie. I know what that what that's

102
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: like playing as a rookie. I've been there as well,

103
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 2: and you know, started way back in nineteen ninety and

104
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: you know, I know the struggles that you have as

105
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: a rookie as well. But watching him play the couple

106
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: of weeks ago, uh, you know, Uh, I know he's young,

107
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: but uh, you know he's those fresh legs and you

108
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: know he's been there in the in the many camps

109
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 2: and the off season training camp and uh you know why,

110
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: uh he wouldn't get an opportunity as well. But I

111
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: understand each situation. But for me, you know, a Colt

112
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: san just want to see, uh see Anthony richand gets

113
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: get out there and just see what he can do.

114
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 4: You know that voice quite well. It is Jeff George

115
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 4: with us here and as we've talked about the Christmas QB,

116
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 4: just awesome, awesome work he's doing here locally, movement designed

117
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 4: to bring hope to families who are struggling during Christmas

118
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 4: Mark if you can, let's tweet that out Christmas QB

119
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 4: dot com where people can go and help out here

120
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 4: in the season of giving.

121
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: Jeff.

122
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 4: Going back to what you saw Sunday from the Colts, UH,

123
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 4: Shane Sachin was pretty adamant that the offensive game plan

124
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 4: will change and can be different based off what you

125
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 4: saw out of Philip Rivers. Do you think there's more

126
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 4: down the field with him at quarterback?

127
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 2: Well, there has to be. It has to be, are

128
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: they Uh, you know the outcome will be uh, you know,

129
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: five six field goals, you know, uh, in the game,

130
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 2: you know you have to push the ball downfield. Obviously

131
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: you utilize uh Jonathan Taylor, Uh, you know, the best

132
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 2: backs in the league. Defense was playing great, especially since

133
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 2: they're missing all the key players on defense, but they

134
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: stepped up in Seattle. You know, I played in Seattle.

135
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: I know how hard it is to play in Seattle

136
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: with the crowd and as hot as Seattle was and

137
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 2: you come away with uh, you know, you should have won.

138
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: You know you have to uh, you know, I'm not

139
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: putting blame on anybody, but when you hold uh an

140
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: offense like like that under uh, you know what, they

141
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: have six six field goals, you hold them to no touchdowns,

142
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: you have to come away with a win. So you

143
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: know it Uh, it was, it was. It was a

144
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 2: great game. But you know they they definitely have to

145
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 2: push the ball downfield. They have to get to their

146
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: weapons pierces. Uh. Everybody knows you have to you just

147
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 2: throw it up to pierce down the field. He's gonna

148
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 2: go up and get it. And you know Michael Pittman

149
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: is just uh to your steady receiver and you got

150
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 2: you know, quick Josh downs. Man. You have to utilize that.

151
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: You have to attack the middle, you know, like you

152
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 2: know they're uh when you play the Colts, you know

153
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 2: they're gonna think, now you have to stop Jonathan Taylor

154
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 2: and uh, you know right rightfully. So, but man, if

155
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: you can just uh, you know, attack that middle and uh,

156
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 2: you know, go to your big guys and just trust

157
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: them that they're gonna make plays. That's the only way

158
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: they're gonna win the game. So, uh, game plan has

159
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: to be different. I know Shane probably knows that, not

160
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 2: telling him that he doesn't know, but yeah, it has

161
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: to change a little bit.

162
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: Jeff James had mentioned, Uh, of course, reminding everybody you'd

163
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: played at Illinois and and you know the Big Ten

164
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: quite well. Have you been keeping up with the Indiana

165
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: Hoosiers this year?

166
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: Man? I have? Who has it? You know, I'm a uh,

167
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: I'm a who Hoo Hoosiers fan, and but you know,

168
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: I've always followed the Hoosis that Heck, I go way

169
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: back when Sam White or Lee Corso I actually was here,

170
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: but when when I was at sophomore. I remember at

171
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: Warren Central. Uh, Sam Whites was the head coach for

172
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: one year and coming from the NFL, coming from the

173
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine ers, and you know, being around uh,

174
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: you know, Joe Montanas of the world. You know, I

175
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: thought that at that time, Indiana was you know, it

176
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: was a great school. And then he you know, it

177
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: was a one year and he left. But but it

178
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: obviously worked out for me going Illinois at a great time,

179
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: and uh we had some pretty good years. But yeah,

180
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: I do follow him. You know what a great kid

181
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: Fernando uh Mendoza is and comes from a great family,

182
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: which I love. I love to see because I felt like,

183
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: you know, I come from a great family as well,

184
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 2: and you just love to see kids like that. I

185
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: I love listening to to him talk. I love his interviews.

186
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: It's uh, you know, it's just genuine and authentic and

187
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: and just nowadays you just don't see that in a

188
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: lot of these kids. And to see him and the

189
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: way he talks and the way he's you know, a

190
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 2: proud who's you're coming from? You know what he's only

191
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: been here one year and how the city's uh taking

192
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: him on and how he's taken all the city and

193
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: uh to be a Heisman after one year, that's pretty incredible.

194
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: So my, uh my hat's off to him. And uh

195
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: andi what I what uh personality he is. You love

196
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 2: seeing him getting interview because he never see the man

197
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: smile And ten minutes, ten seconds ago in the game

198
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: and you're up by five touchdowns and you're still chewing

199
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: out the players and uh, you know that just uh

200
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: you know, demands respect. So uh, you know, those are

201
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: kind of guys you just kind of like play for.

202
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: So hopefully they can they can keep it going and

203
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: keep winning. And because that's a great story for you know,

204
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 2: not just then, but for everybody in Indiana that has

205
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 2: followed and has struggled being an Indiana fan all those years.

206
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 2: Anybody's been a fan, you know, it's always you know,

207
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: I feel like they're always like five hundred team and

208
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 2: just to get over that hunt playing behind Notre Dame

209
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: and Purdue. And but now they're the team and be

210
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: number one. Wow, that's pretty incredible. So yeah, I have

211
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 2: followed them. I'm excited to watch them and see where

212
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 2: they go from here.

213
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: And again we're talking to Jeff George D. Christmas QB,

214
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 3: the nineteen ninety number one pick and also the future

215
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 3: Colts quarterback because he's coming out of retirement here in

216
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: about a week. He's just waiting to announce it here

217
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 3: on our airwaves. But in all seriousness, the last thing

218
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 3: I leave you with is what we started with, and

219
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 3: that is your Christmas endeavors. And from what I understand,

220
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 3: you all partner with the Department of child Services and

221
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 3: try to help families that are going to some tough

222
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: times this time of year. So A, why did you

223
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 3: start this whole thing? And then B what have you

224
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 3: perhaps gained from this and what perspective you gained from

225
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 3: just this whole process.

226
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not looking to gain you know, it's my

227
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: Uh I think when you I've said this before, like

228
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 2: when you play, When I played, especially, I was always

229
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: about football and always about my faith, my family and football,

230
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: and and uh never wanted any type of recognition. You know.

231
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 2: It's you know, that's not what the Good Lord wants

232
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 2: for anybody. You just do it because you do it

233
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: in goodness, out of your heart. And like I said,

234
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: I'm not the only one that helps out and the command.

235
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 2: There's so many other people and and I just want

236
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 2: to do my part. And I think that's you know,

237
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 2: if I'm given a platform like I have all these years.

238
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 2: You know I did it privately, yes, and did all that,

239
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: but uh now I need I need the help I need. Uh.

240
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to recognize people recognize me for what

241
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: I do. I'm trying to help that family get recognized.

242
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 2: And uh, you know that need it more than than anybody.

243
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 2: You know. It's not just not just during Christmas that

244
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 2: they need to help, It's it's throughout the whole year,

245
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: whether they need uh uh you know, electric bill paid,

246
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: or a gas bill paid or rent paid. We just

247
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 2: want to raise as much money help these families and

248
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: DCS has been great partner with them and all that

249
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 2: they do. Man, they they're they're the ones that are

250
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: kind of the heroes that behind that. I'm just trying

251
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: to help help them along and uh, but the main

252
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 2: thing is to recognize these kids that that might not

253
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 2: have a Christmas. If we can come in and just

254
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: help that family and give them a great Christmas, put

255
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 2: a smile on those kids' faces, and the mom and

256
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 2: dad put a smile on their faces, and then just

257
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: saying hey, you know, thank you. I you know, we

258
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: we don't have to worry about uh you know heat

259
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 2: in our house this year. We don't have to you

260
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: know you and we can pay the rent. We know

261
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 2: where we're going to be this month. So it's just

262
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: the things like that that I think that uh, it's

263
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,239
Speaker 2: a small part that I'm doing and absolutely want no recognition.

264
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: I know, I'm you know, doing interviews like this but

265
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: it's people like you guys that can help us get

266
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: the word out and to help those families and recognize

267
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: those families that need it more than anything, especially this

268
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 2: time of year.

269
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: And Jeff, for people who want to find out more

270
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: information on this, how they can help out, what's the

271
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: best place to go?

272
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,800
