Uh, to cover that then with... Look at the bright side, okay?

The bright side?

What's the bright side?

Let me tell you what the bright side is.

Ha!

Let's look on the bright side with Mike Waters on 1057 KOKZ.

Sponsored by One Collision Center.

So I've got Trucker Trevor here on the phone and he along with Willie Ray of Willie Ray's Q-Shack.

I believe you guys are ready to roll down to Mississippi and feed the people in those devastated areas from the tornadoes a week or two ago.

You guys ready to roll Trucker Trevor?

Willie and the crew are getting stuff loaded up in the truck.

Getting ready to hook up the barbecue smokers and grills and trailers and hopefully beyond $45 million.

I

know you were kind of holding off till last night.

We didn't have anything major in eastern Iowa, so yeah, we're ready to head to Mississippi and do our thing down there.

So you're leaving this morning, so when do you think you'll get there?

What's your ETA, I guess?

probably with fuel stops and everything else um eight o'clock their time is what we're looking at

so the plan is to set up and cook immediately is that

yeah we just want to get our grills set up on the site and in the morning we'll pick up our little box truck to store supplies and i'll be running get supplies he's gonna start the grills early in the morning tomorrow morning and start uh smoking and cooking the ribs and whatnot and yeah 11 o'clock from you know lunch through supper every day thursday friday saturday and easter sun

they will be out there doing meals.

Giving up your Easter to help these people, and that's what it's really all about anyway.

I just, I really admire you guys so much for doing this kind of thing.

Well, love to do it.

It's Willie's home state of Mississippi, and it's only a few hours away from his hometown.

Yeah, you know, I was gonna ask you, because I know, I think we all know Willie raised from Mississippi, so has he been hearing from people and getting the low down and a blow by blow on what's going on there day to day with the recovery?

Yeah, he's been in touch with some local people

there and so have I just kind of figured out what's the best place to set up where you know what we're gonna do but yeah we're keeping in touch with the people down there

yeah that's great well I'm I don't want to keep you here trucker Trevor so you guys get loaded and get on the road and again East and I was so proud of you and thank you for what you guys are doing

yeah we love doing and thanks for your support

yeah man hey before you go I need to ask you how's the how are the funds

looking pretty good we should be

able to pretty much cover this trip from what he's telling me that we're pretty close to be able to cover the whole cost, so we should be good.

That is awesome.

That is great to hear.

That's Eastern Iowa for you.

That's the generosity of Eastern Iowa.

Well, Trevor, thank you for

your time.

We can't wait to hear what you're doing and how happy these people are to be getting some food in their situation.

All right, Mike.

I'll send you some updates and maybe some pictures.

That sounds great.

Thank you, Trevor.

it.
