| 0:02.4 | I mean, I don't think we can do it, but if we could, we would thank Gamoa 300,000 times on the radio. Not a real good ratings hit. But we would do it because that's how much they earned and raised for Burt's Beacon Venture the other night. Yeah, so Wednesday night, I spoke at an event for Gamoa, Georgia Amusement and Music Operators Association. If you're like, what in the world is that? The best way to describe it is, if you ever walk into a Dave and Busters and you see all those games, that's them. And they have a convention where people come out and they have their new games set up. Isn't it like also the casino games that you would see like in a QT or whatever? 1,000%. And so they have this big convention and they have a big showcase. |
| 0:40.3 | And then they have a casino night in a ballroom. |
| 0:45.1 | And they also give out awards to certain Gamoa members. |
| 0:49.5 | And the beneficiary of their auction that they have with all of their employees benefits Burt's Big |

| 1:18.4 | wait, hold on. That did sound nasty. I did. I offered, I offered, I offered for people to come in |
| 1:24.4 | studio and talk on the air and pitch whatever product they want. It wasn't nefarious. |
| 1:29.5 | And so after everything was said and done and they tallied everything up, |
| 1:34.2 | Gamoa raised almost $300,000. |
| 1:38.1 | And now they are part of the million dollar club where they have raised over $1 million for a First Big Adventure. |
| 1:42.9 | Thank you. |
| 1:43.2 | Thank you. |
| 1:43.3 | Thank you. Thank you. All the men and women at Gamoa. |
| 1:44.6 | Thank you. |
| 1:45.2 | Thank you. |
| 1:45.9 | And so I spoke to the Gamoa crowd, but another very important guest speaker was Callie, |
| 1:53.5 | one of our births big adventure kids. |
