Madison, would you tell us the story, please?

My body just rejected the new nipple that I was given.

So it got infected, and now because it's infected, it's falling off.

It fell off?

Now hang on a minute.

What do you do at this point?

Do you like, you know, those who've suffered some sort of amputation, some way, shape, or form, do you then put it on ice and then go back to the doctor and say, uh, my left blinker is on?

I need my right blinker back, please.

What do you do here?

Madison, there's more to this story.

And now what do you do to haven't to hold until your nipple falls off?

That's the way it goes, I guess.

You think you got it bad.

At least yours didn't fall off today.

701 with a Rock 108 morning show.

And here today, congratulations to Jamie from Rockwell, picked up the family four pack of passes to Iowa Irish Fest.

It's been going since 2006.

So it's the biggest Irish celebration in Iowa.

Looking forward to find it out more about that.

Going from Irish to today being National Tequila Day.

Some of you just heard the word tequila, man.

No, no, not woo.

Boo!

And sometimes, booh!

Ow, blood!

That's just, uh... Yep.

Never a happy ending when I drink tequila.

Awful.

Awful.

I firmly believe tequila's just made out of bruises.

That there's just a South American factory somewhere where they're punching people in the arm and tequila squirts out and they bottle it and try and sell it to the stupid Americans.

Like, this is a very good brand.

It's called Too For Flinching.

Uh...

A.K.A.

dos para flinching.

I'm not buying that.

That's fake Spanish.

That's bogus Spanish.

Dubious Spanish is what that is.

The Rock 108 Morning Show.

Papa Roach, no apologies with Rock 108 907.

And I told you guys, we wanted to talk about the 14th annual solidarity ride poker run coming up, building construction and trades council, putting this on, benefiting the freedom foundation and safe place foundation happening this Saturday kickstands up at 10 a.m.

at Metro Harley Davidson in Cedar Rapids.

Got a couple of guests in here today.

Please introduce yourself.

Dave Brunstein with the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City construction trades.

And Dane, you were the one that brought this one to my attention.

Tell me a little bit more about the ride and the involvement that you have with this.

So this is the 14th year for the Solidarity Ride.

This is my first year being able to help out with this ride.

The biggest thing about this is giving back to the community and giving back to our veterans.

and how we do that with the help of the community and the help with the construction trades and all the trade unions.

Mike Sadler has kind of been the guy that's been running with this for ever since.

I've been a part of the building trades for the last five years.

And it's quite an honor to be a part of this and help out and give back.

to the Freedom Foundation and Safe Place Foundation.

Years past, our money has gone to donating to the honor flights and helping out and actually having a flight that was just pretty much dedicated to the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City building trades.

So this is happening on Saturday kickstands up at 10 o'clock, just a $10 entry fee per poker hand.

Now,

For those that don't understand what a poker run is, Dane, what's the best way to give them an idea of what this is all about?

And this, get a card when you get to a location like an American legion?

Yep.

You know, the ride this year, our ride starts at Metro at 10.

Our first stop at World's, we're hitting all American legions this year.

Oh, wow.

Our first stop will be in Marengo.

And there you get a draw card for your poker hand and every stop you get a draw card and at the end we see who gets the best poker hand.

So we go from Moringo to North Liberty to the 76th American Legion and from there we go to Solon, Iowa.

to the Legion in Solon.

And then we go to Mary in Iowa with the American Legion and Marian.

And then we end up at Raging Rhinos for our final

stop.

Folks, I need to let you know that Dane did none of this with any notes in front of him.

He did that all off of the top of his head.

And this is great.

Awesome.

14th annual Solidarity Ride.

Brian from the Freedom Foundation also joining us.

What does this mean to be a part of this and helping to

Uh, get, get this to help out the veterans in the community.

So this helps.

So every year when they do this is to help fund our food pantry and then also the monetary goes towards money that we used to give back to veterans like, uh, anywhere from rent to pay in a water bill to pay an electric bill, utilities, stuff like that.

So for the veterans, they can work through the freedom foundation on something like that, right?

Absolutely.

Awesome.

We'll find out a little bit more about this 14th annual solidarity ride and poker run Saturday, July the 27th kickstands up at 10 and Metro Harley Davidson gets you more details right now.

This seems perfect.

Highway to hell, AC DC.

My tail storm I get off with rock 108 head 921 Brian Marshall joined in studio here today with Dane and Brian talking about the building construction trades council 14th annual solidarity ride and poker run with a $10 entry fee per poker hand this Saturday kickstands up at 10 a.m Metro Harley Davidson Cedar Rapids proceeds to benefit the Freedom Foundation and Safe Place Foundation now Brian from the Freedom Foundation is here

And you mentioned that there are three major points that the Freedom Foundation does to help out vets in the community.

Give me one of those.

So our food pantry is very unique.

It runs four days a week.

It runs Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Monday and Wednesday is from 11 to one.

Thursday is from 10 to 11, 15, and then Saturday is from 10 to noon.

And what's very unique about it is the veteran gets to come in

gets to pick 10 items and then either get milk or eggs and then they will get a meat item anywhere from hamburger to chicken to steak.

And then another big thing that drives a lot of our vets in is on Thursdays we provide a meal and it can be anywhere from like last week.

It can be from Ziojano's or a lot of these meals are just cooked.

at the Freedom Foundation, and then we serve them to our veterans.

Where is

that meal

held at on Thursdays?

Right at the Freedom Foundation.

Which is located at?

4001 Center Point Road.

Awesome.

And then the third thing that's been huge this year, in fact, we budgeted for 26,000 and we've excelled it, is to help veterans with utilities, rent, water, things that are very essential.

And Brian, you're a vet yourself.

What does it mean for you to be involved and to help out other vets through the Freedom Foundation?

Oh, man, because this organization is a real deal.

I see it all the time.

And then the veterans that come in and all the camaraderie, and they like to be with other vets, and they like to play cards, craving spades, shoot pool.

It's just, it's just a good time.

I bet you some of the stories that you hear there at the, the Thursdays have to be pretty wild,

huh?

Yeah, we got a guy I called leech man.

He's pretty unique.

Shout out to leech today.

Dean, what does it mean for the organization?

I know we kind of talked a little bit about this, but the building construction and trades council to be in on this, it's so important to not only give back, but

On top of this too, it's gotta be a fun time to be out there and be a part of it, right?

The rumble of the motorcycles.

Oh, yeah.

It's, you know, for the cause that it's going to and the people that come out and want to do the ride and everything else, it's so, it's greatly appreciated.

And, you know, we cannot from the, you know, from the trades.

aspect.

We cannot thank the community enough for the continued support for the solidarity ride and what that means for the people that, the foundations that we give the money to, the people that are always in need.

That's awesome.

Gentlemen, anything else that you wanted to add before we wrap up here today?

Well, I'll just say one last thing is we also work with a lot of other veteran organizations and we all support each other.

So that way we can help our local vets.

Dude, that's

awesome.

Dane, anything else?

Nope.

Going to be a beautiful day on Saturday.

You know, if you're, you know, if you're on two wheels, you know, don't have anything planned out for a different ride or anything that come on out.

Metro kickstands up at 10 a.m.

And this is going to all the, uh, the American legions.

You heard Dane talking about it here earlier, the 14th annual solidarity ride and poker run.

I'll pop it up on my Facebook page so you guys can see that as well.

Gentlemen, thank you for joining us here today.

Six a.m.

Life is beautiful is coming up.
