107
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: of people behind the scenes. There's a lot of interactions

108
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,240

111
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: we're going to do.

112
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Hey, where do people like they need to register

113
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,520

00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: Don't look if they can register it look dale On.

115
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: People register on the day. We don't close the website

116
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: for registration. People will arrive and register there. People will

117
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 2: get to Landmark and register and ToIP a bit of money.

118
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: You know, we have tank cards going around like we

119
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: take cash donations stuff. We've got tap donations and stuff

120
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 2: this year as well. And some people who find it

121
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 2: a bit difficult registaurantline. We've got a few people that

122
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 2: be walking around helping registers as well. But you know, look,

123
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: the main thing is people registered before the event. They

124
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: can get other people to sponsor them in their workplace, friends, family,

125
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: all the rest of it. Even if a price a

126
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: cup of coffee or whatever, and it's tax deductible, so

127
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: it's all readed up. To do it online. It's easier,

128
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: easier for them and easier for us, you know. And

129
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: you know, if they do, they do, it's a great

130
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 2: thing for us.

131
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: It is well, this is the thing. It's such a

132
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: good cause. I would absolutely encourage people to get involved

133
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: and and you know, start the conversation as well. Have

134
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: those conversations, you blokes. If you don't do it, for yourself,

135
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: do it for your family, for your friends, for the

136
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,960

156
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 2: we can get out of the car park, which will

157
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 2: be at about ten thirty. Because there's a few people

158
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 2: that are a little bit frustrated by that when we

159
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: turn around out of the gate. But once they see

160
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: what happens I understand all the cars and bikes coming

161
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: in and all the pedestrians, they go, oh wow, this

162
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: is pretty cool.

163
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: And once you know what it's for as well, like,

164
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: this is for a good cause, because sometimes people turn

165
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: into Karen's and Ken's when there's an event going on

166
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: and they do we all and no disrespect to anybody

167
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: with those names out there, but people do complain and

168
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: they think, oh no, all this is going on. But

169
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: then when you actually step back and you go, this

170
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: is for a really good cause and people are organizing

171
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: it off their own backs out of the goodness of

172
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: their heart for the greater good. You know, just step

173
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,559
Speaker 1: back and be patient.

174
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. So you know, like and some

175
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: people like they see something in their reminds of something

176
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: else in the past, whatever, and it's like a bit

177
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: of a gig, you know, they can tell me, they

178
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: can have a bit of a laugh. So yeah, but

179
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 2: until people get their morning coffee and breakfast on a Sunday,

180
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: some people will be lancy. You know that too, trust me.

181
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: Trust the three coffees in well good to speak to

182
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: you this morning, Dan, Thanks so much for your time.
