to talk to you again. Bygosh, he's the CAA twenty twenty two
Coach of the Year. Chad Holbrook, Hello, coach. Hey Kelly Johnson.
Uh so, good to talk toyou. Guys. I miss you.
Look we miss you too, butwe're excited to read about you.
We know we follow you at theCollege of Charleston, so we're glad to
see you in doing good things foryour baseball program. It's exciting. I'm

(00:22):
lucky to work at a great schooland for a great baseball program. I
get to coach great players, andI live in a phenomenal city. So
life is good right now for me. Well, South Carolina is an awesome
place to live. And one ofthe things that you started when you were
living here in Columbia is a benefitbasically for Camp Cole. And I know
that that's a thing that's close toyour heart. But the things that you've

(00:44):
been putting together the last several yearsfor this fundraiser have been amazing. Well,
we love Camp Cole. My wifeand I. When Reach, our
son was diagnosed with cancer, oneof the things that really made a difference
for us and our Make a Wishtrip. We went to Give Kids the
World Village and in Orlando Flatter,right outside of all Disney World, and
it made the look on my kids'face when he was facing some very difficult

(01:07):
circumstances was something that stuck with me. Well, we have our own Give
Kids the World Village. You know, right down the road here was Kemp
Cole and we're lucky to be apart of it. It gives kids and
that are facing some really tough circumstances, whether it be cancer, homelessness,
you know, domestic abuse situations,child abuse situations, you name it.
It gives kids a freedom to havefun, be a kid, do all

(01:33):
kind of need activities. So weour family to Gin and I and Rees
and Cooper could not be more proudto be associated with Kemp Cold only do
all that we can to help.Well. I know, in the past,
you've had a lot of country musicartists. You know, it's funny
how many country music stars were collegeathletes, in particular college baseball players.
But as of recent Kelly Nash isall excited again because you're bringing back your

(01:55):
yacht rock theme. Kelly loves it. He shows up looking like the billion
Mere off of Gilligan's Island going well. Kind of what we wanted to do
was make a tradition to have aholiday party. It's obviously a celebratory time
of the season. There's no there'sno show like a yacht Rock review show,

(02:15):
and tickets there don't sell right nowat the Township for our our our
party and concert, and it isa treat. If you haven't seen them
play, you're in for a treat. If you have seen them, they
just keep getting better and better,and and we're close to we're close to
selling out the Township and uh,there's a couple of hundred tickets left.
So it's it's exciting for us,you know, we had it at the

(02:38):
Sendate before yacht Rock has really grown, you know, and they're selling a
thousand tickets fifteen hundred tickets at alot of venues, and now they're selling
up with the three thousand and fourthousands just because of the show they put
on. It puts everybody in agood mood. We want to help Camp
Cole. Uh, it's obviously areason to celebrate for that time of year,

(02:58):
being Christmas time, and we justthink all these forces come together.
Couldn't be a better way to celebratethe season and to benefit Camp Coold.
And they have yacht Rock Revie playat the township Chad Holbrook with us and
we're talking about Campcold. Dot orgis their website and on that website you
can see more about the Yacht RockReview benefit concert. And uh, this

(03:19):
is going to be happening on aFriday night, which is perfect December fifteenth,
twenty twenty three. And there now, I guess there's still an availability
for people if they want to becomesponsors as well, because it mentions there's
a VIP event which is exclusive tosponsors, which will start at five thirty
that night. So if you ifyour company wants to get involved, there's
an opportunity. But if you wantto just get one of the last few
hundred tickets that are available, youcould do that as well. Well,

(03:44):
here's here's here's here's our fault process. When it comes to corporate sponsorship.
You a lot of corporate leaders andbusiness leaders have Christmas parties anyway, they
have Christmas parties for their employees ortheir colleagues, are people that they work
with on a daily basis. Whatwe're in can you do is hey,
don't go through all the hustle andbustle a plane and let us do all
that work. Have your Christmas partywith us. That's a great idea that

(04:06):
are out there, You guys thatare out there that are working hard daily.
You don't want to have the extrastress of putting a party on just
for just for you know, aquick and added stress to your job.
To bring your company with us,we'll have to. I can promise you
this. Your employees and the peopleyou work with daily, we'll have the
time of their lives. So bringyour Christmas party to us. We'll suprise

(04:29):
that we'll supply that you entertainment,the great food, one of a kind
auction stuff before the show. Youknow, we were lucky to have coach
Biemer involved in it last year.There's already been a number of coaches at
South Carolina and the local celebrities reachout that want to be a part of
it a year and come join us. I can tell it's the Christmas party
of all Christmas parties. Yeah,I'm just thinking now that I know how
Kelly always dresses for this event,I wish my hair was doing that thing.

(04:51):
It was doing back in the eighties, right, you know this is
a show so big it may actuallydemand hair extensions. I might have to
go get that that little way ofgoing in the back, Jonathan, Jonathan,
you have there. I know,Ja and I need the hair starter
kit. I can tell you thatI'm gonna. You know, we encourage

(05:12):
when you go to a yacht rockefuteshow. They're following is so a pretty
strong following. And people do showup in their best seventies gear and their
butterfly collars and bill bottom jeens andtheir sailor hat. It is a hoop,
I mean it is. You danceall night long, you get the
people watching once some people you know, have great times and uh and again
you're doing it for an incredible causein Camp Coal. And I couldn't think

(05:34):
of a better a better holiday party, for a better cause for the young
people in our Midlands that are thatare fighting some very difficult circumstances. And
uh and us old folks get toshow up and being a team to raise
a lot of money for Camp Coldand have a good time celebration. Yeah,
and if you want to support CampCole, there's certainly reason enough.
Thank you in advance for purchasing yourticket and if you just want a great

(05:56):
show, and what I think isthe best auditorium because of the acoustics.
There's no better place for a concertthan of the Township Auditorium. It just
sounds terrific in there. I've hada number of concerts over the years for
our foundation at the Township. Offolks are so nice to me and us
in the community and they love doingbenefit shows like this. And when we
told him a couple of years agowe wanted to do yacht rock and they's

(06:18):
like, it's gonna be great,it's gonna be private. We don't know
if we'll sell them out. Nowthey're saying, OK, you guys are
gonna sell it out, and that'sthat's really really cool. It's kind of
kind of kind of becoming a holidaytradition in the Midlands, you know,
and we want we want these thesethese local businesses and these leaders to say,
hey, you know, if youget your groups together for a Christmas

(06:39):
party, have it with us.I can tell you it'll be the time
of your life. That's this ishow yacht rock does it. And you'll
