Back to the ticket weeknights on 937 the ticket and the ticket FM.com. Welcome back. We often get complacent. We believe that everybody has been listening to us in our full and know all the machinations of 937 the ticket. And okay, so we're the affiliate for the Casey Royal. So when they're playing on the, they're on the brick and mortal mortar. So if you're in the car, you're hearing the Royals. But if you're on the stream or if you're on Allo, Channel 951, you're on YouTube, you're on Facebook, you're on any of the other, any way you receive your podcast. On the app, you're getting this show. That's how it works.

So when you bring in new people, we sometimes have to say, oh, yeah, if they're in the car trying to listen to it, uh, yeah, you have to jump over. Ticket apps is the way to go. For all those listening ticket app, it's definitely the easiest way. Get that and you have it everywhere you go. No problem. Yeah, and it travels everywhere and it doesn't get hit by signals. Okay.

So we're here talking about Ignite Lincoln, again, September 15th, Rococo Theater. To let them know, how many, what are the ticket prices? So I know the two different ticket prices. There's $10. So $10 for just a individual ticket. Okay. Then if you buy a booth, I believe it is. Oh, we could have got a booth.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, for fancy folks, family. Like, if you're bringing your family, Yeah, it should be booth. Yeah, so if you want a reserve table, it's $20. Open table booth seating within the reserve areas on the first floor. And then the early birds get the best seats, obviously.

Yes, they do. Yes, they do. Obviously. So you found the list of five. Finally. The magic list of five of, who are the nonprofits that are up for this thing? These amazing nonprofits. Okay.

They are Echo Collective, Lincoln Literacy. visionary youth, voices of hope, and we can do this. We feed kids. Those are the five nonprofits that your money can go to if you go to this year as Ignite Lincoln, which you should. That, you know, listen, five great foundations that are putting in great work. And it's great exposure for them to be able to explain themselves to the folks in Lincoln. Of course, we do a lot of that service here in town and giving exposure to folks who are doing the good work.

Yes. Because they often need to help. Alan was going through it. And I, so with Lincoln being home, but you're traveling the world, what are your favorite places in the world? So if I said, okay, give me your top five places that you've been. Top five.

Because it gives you some idea about who the person. Agreed. Right. Agreed. So the five that, of all the places of the world that you've been, your five favorite places. I would have to say, Barz. No, not

Barzona. Pamplona. Spanplona. Spain for the Bull runs. So you actually, did you do the run? Yeah, I did the run. I was wearing the same jacket when I did the run. Literally saying he's the strongest, one of the strongest people I know. Like, okay. Go ahead and claim your superhero cape, bro. Yeah. Like, that's deep.

Okay. That's, is that five on the list or one on the list? That's one of the list of five. Okay. Barcelona for the art, for the sheer beauty, probably the big Island Kona. Shout out to all the... And there's only one way to say Barcelona. Bratel. Barthol.

Batta Lus. Battenless. Like, everybody there, that's literally the people who live there. It's like, no, bro, that's not it. You know why, though. Tell me why. Because they have two different languages.

I can't remember a second language. But, yes. So one speaks Spanish, and then the other language is part of, I think, the eastern side of the Portuguese coming over into Spain. So that's why they have two different languages. which is weird. I learned that while I was over there because a little booshka just like corrected me when I like said the name wrong.

And then I've never I've never been there, but probably Australia. And then so that's three. I would say the Northern Lights, wherever you go. It doesn't matter, Alaska or Iceland or wherever. And then Iceland, Reykivik. Yes. I'd never been. No.

I would have to, oh, what's number five? Hmm. I would have to say Maine. Maine is beautiful, but in like a creepy way. That's the thing. Oh, there are so many, so many ghost stories in Maine. Like, oh, oh, no, it's a real thing, right? The buildings, the buildings talk.

You never understood why. So Stephen King lives there and I've seen his mansion. Of course he did. You don't understand until you go to Maine. Like, there's a grave site, like every city or, like in the middle of nowhere. I'm good. And then like, so I got curious and I looked at a grave site that we went to a site to.

And I found out that these sailors had died out and sea. And they got buried there. And then got buried there because that was the closest port they were at. Stephen King's making a lot of sense. Dude, yeah. So much sense, man. Yeah. It answers so many questions.

It answers so many questions. If you go to Maine, your skin is alive the whole time. It's more alive in Maine than anywhere on the planet. Oh, like you go to Maine and it's Maine of Vermont and the corners of it where you walk into buildings

where there's stories and you just want to know okay, who died here? Yeah. Like who died here? There's no more question. Like there are things I need to know. All right, dude.

Where's your five favorite places on the plant? Okay. Um, once I go back to Africa, then I can give you an updated list. But I would say my first favorite would have to be I'm sorry.

I'm going to say Kentucky. I like, which part? Which part? Whenever I'm driving through, I don't know where it was, but I'm like, I want to live here. Like Lexington and Louisville couldn't be any different. Okay. I'm just going to say Louisville because that's where the sluggers from.

So I'm just. And it's, but it's like the least likable place in Kentucky. Because it's not. That's what I like. But I love people, but I want to be away from people. How do you like people and not want to be around people? I like my own kind of space. And then I can go to people.

Okay. I get that. You know? I grew up with 14. people in the house. An extroverted invert. So is Kentucky number one then? Kentucky is number one. Okay. All right. And really good food.

Chicago. I just went there last week. I have to go back. What do you love about Chicago? I think it's the, the vibrance. There's always new people there. So everybody's seeing it at the same time as you. And I like that. Okay. I would say San Diego. You used to live there. Love it.

Beautiful place. Love it. and then I Texas I would say more yeah you have to be a specific part of Texas because that's like saying I just have a lot of family no way Dallas okay Dallas is pretty cool yeah and then I went to uh Orlando but I would just say Tampa I would rather if I was to live in Florida I probably live in Tampa now is that because you're a Patriots fan and Brady went there is that what yeah okay okay all right okay This only leads to one question. How in the world are you a Patriot fan? Okay. Like, just talk about randomness. Just random.

Okay. Yes, this is something that I've always. Harrison, listen to this. It goes to reach. Right. Okay, so my dad loves Peyton Manning, right? So I like to go, you know, head to head with my dad on certain sports, whatever we're watching. So he liked Peyton Manning at the time.

He was playing Tom Brady. And so I'm like, oh, I like the logo on their hand. At the time, it's the guy, you know, with the, he's about to hike it. The Patriot. He actually has a name. Yeah, that's true, but I don't know that. I think it's like Patty or something like that. I don't know.

Harrison, what's the name of the page? Yeah, you let us know. I don't know what I actually had a name. Like the angry dude. They had one with him. I'm going to say it's Patty. It might be. Yeah.

Patty is Patriot. It might be. But yeah, it started with that. I hate it. Because he said I hate Tom Brady. I was like, okay. That's my guy. This is my time.

And then later that year, they went in the Super Bowl. Oh, so this was an 01. Oh, one, bro. And then next year you know. I remember that against the Rams. Yeah. It just kept so. So if you were three years earlier, you would have been a cowboy show.

I'm not messing with. Pat the Patriot. That's all this. So it is Pat the Patriot. It makes perfect sense. Pat. Patty. Good brand.

Makes perfect set. Yeah. So, so, Alan, give us without giving your presentation. Give us why you're telling the story. that you're telling. So, Tut actually made a post about it, and I talked it over with my girlfriend who's sitting in the back hair, Sandy,

and she was like, shout out to Sandy. Thanks for being in my cheerleader, I appreciate you so much. Singer-songwriter, if you want a song, she sang for me. There you go.

But I was like, I don't know, I don't know if I'm ready for that kind of thing. And then Sandy was like, you're doing it. And so she was like, have so many stories, so much to tell this is just something that you have to do. And I was like, you know what? Yeah, you're right. So then I, I'd already done some speech

classes in my college and a couple of speeches before that, just in small crowds. And then I sent, what was it, the video preview. When you were in class, yeah. Yeah, explaining myself and kind of telling them who I was and then given a kind of a synopsis of my speech and stuff. And then I think it was like four or five. It's kind of crazy. I try to do something different. friend each year of my life because I met an old man that I played chess with in New York and he was like the most fulfilling

part of your life is to set a goal for something that you've never done each year of your life. So I've never spoken in front of an audience this big so I'm pretty excited about it. And then I got an email from Tutt saying, hey, you've been selected and I was like, okay, well, I didn't prepare for that. So now I got to

that. That is a key to life. It was having a plan when you get what you ask for. Yeah. That's it. And the weird thing is just like every so every time i've done something it's been like i've gotten over my head but i've come out a different person yes you know whether it be the bull run or running my first marathon or or now speaking in front of people it's just been one of those things and and i think it stems from the fact that there's so low of a chance that most foster kids will ever be anything more than a prison

sentence or live a life of poverty that i just want to be that kind of beacon of hope and be like you're not alone. As I'm sure Tutt wants to be that beacon of hope for those over in his home country, I actually looked up some statistics on it. I think it's like 63% of most of the refugees are youth. And then there's like three million displaced people that are trying to seek refuge in another country. It's just wild. Like how different, but similar kind of like we tie in. Because I don't really got like a family. I got like an adopted family that I love to death. And it's just one of those things where it's like I can kind of like relate to that. I will challenge you to never say

that you don't have family. Oh, not like that. No, no. I know, no. No, no. Listen. There's blood DNA folks. But the greatest family is the family that simply loves you.

Oh, I got a lot of those people. Yeah. Yeah, man. Don't let I don't let semantics get in the way. I like that. what you're living is a tribute to how much your love. Like, it took love, like it took love to help heal.

That's beautiful. Right. Right. I mean, that's what love does. That's ultimately what it is. What's the saying? It takes a village to raise a child. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Well, it takes a loving village to raise a child. That's a part. Yeah. It's a part they do. It's a part they miss. Uh, the love part. We have to keep reminding people.

Nah. But Derek, I wanted to touch back on, because we had this conversation at the mill not too long ago. Getting what you wish for. Having a plan. Yeah, having a plan. You guys plan? Having a plan. Oh, look, I'm a member of a tribe that I worship the GPS.

Okay. And the GPS, the sole purpose of it is to do three things. One, it is to locate me. helps you may identify who I am, how I got here. Then it forces me to choose, as your friend said, the next thing, the next destination. You have to choose it. And the beauty of a GPS is that it keeps you on time and online. It gives you direction and purpose and to say, listen, listen, Alan, what you said you were going to do is to give this talk.

And you're required from here to figure out from your encyclopedia stories, what are you willing to share with people who need to hear what you have to say? And then it forces you on time because you have until September 15th to weed through all of the traffic and all the minutiae to refine your story. And without it, you wander. You simply wander. I always use the GPS as a love thing. That the first thing that most important for me to do is to love. The last thing I need to finish. In finishing every act that I'm a part of is with love.

Yeah. And in between love more. The GPS constantly keeps you in line and in place. So when they ask you, who are you? I am love. I will be love by love. it's deep right through all of it so when you say family family family and in between it's the accumulation of more family that is life the very existence that we have is starting from family

to end in family via family yeah i think the biggest thing for me is like it's because of this event i have people from texas and iowa and disd several different locations that have helped raise me, come and see what kind of what they've created. Yeah. And that's a beautiful thing to me. Yeah, it's the accumulation of all the love. We all become the ultimate accumulation of people who love us.

So true. In spite of the people who didn't. Yes. And that's the greater power. That's how you know how strong love is. Yeah. Is it it outlast the things that hurt. It outlasts it.

But it's that thing in life. Have a plan for when you get exactly what you pray for. Yeah, that's a crazy. Have a plan for when, because when you get it. Yeah, what's you going to do? What's you going to do it? Is there no point of getting all this and then going, oh, boy. Now what?

So we will take another break. We'll come back. Short segment. We'll have two tell us, here's, listen, in the process, what he's going to tell you about on September 15th, in Night Lincoln. We'll be right back.
