Speaker 2 (01:02):
AY thirty here fifty buy k CD Talk Station, A
very happy Friday to you. This is one of those
times that Jess Jrecker and I were talking about this
off the air when I wish the guest was in studio.
Because I'm happy to welcome on the phone Richard Dickman.
He is the owner of and you'll know why a
second here why I want him in studio Smoke Justice.
You want some awesome Q, you want some awesome barbecue.

(01:24):
Smoke Justice is the place to get it. Richard Dickman,
Welcome to the morning show. It's good to hear from you.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
Hey, thanks to having me, Brian.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Happy to and thanks for what you do every day
because I know folks love Smoke Justice Barbecue. And you're
also a proud sponsor of the a LS event that's
coming up. It's called second annual Q four Care Que
for Care fundraiser. Let's hear about this and first time
let me ask, how did you get involved with the
eight with ALS aka Lou Garrig's disease.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
Well, you know, it's just unfortunate circumstances. I hit good
friend in two thousand and five who passed from ALS,
my aunt Connie in twenty seventeen, A good friend that
was in my wedding, John Ricado.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Is battling it right now, oh my.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
And recently we've got a really good customer, Joe Linelli,
who is didn't recently diagnosed. So it's you know, those
are just examples, but it seems like every time I
turn around, I've got someone that I know or someone
that's a customer that has a family member or friend

(02:37):
that has had this disease.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Oh my.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
And just feel so terribly for you having being surrounded
like that. It sounds like it's similar to cancer. You know,
everybody knows somebody that's got cancer, and it's a terrible thing.
And my understanding, and Richard, you can correct me if
I'm wrong, and I hope I is.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
There's no cure for als? Is there?

Speaker 5 (02:57):
There is no cure?

Speaker 4 (02:59):
And honestly, the diagnosis comes from counting out every other
thing that it could be and the result is that
they have ALS. So not only is there no cure,
but they're still trying to figure this thing out.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
So the fundraising that you're doing goes to what benefit
is it to do research? Is it for equipment that
these folks struggling with ALS need to explain to my
listeners what the purpose of the fundraiser is.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Well, what I've.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Learned over the last few years and with the committee
members I have, is the most important thing that we
need to keep in mind for our fundraising is the
local patients and the needs that they have.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
Right now. There are a lot of people raising money
to find a cure, but in the.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Meantime, these patients are they have a lack of things
like ramps, patient care, lift, shairs, tools that they can
use to make their lives better during this time, but
also for the caregivers so that they can help so

(04:15):
their family members suffer along with them and trying to
help get them through this time.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Fair enough, it sounds like there's a lot of need
out there, but there's a lot of opportunities for my
listeners to show up at some of the events you've
got schedule. Let's start with Sipping for Lou happy Hours.
That's plural, there are multiples of those. What's the story
on that?

Speaker 5 (04:35):
That's correct?

Speaker 4 (04:36):
You know on Monday will be Memorial Day. The following day, Tuesday,
the twenty seventh, we kick off our Sipping per Lou,
which is a series of happy hours from forty seven
in our Bourbon Lounge, and those days will be fundraising

(04:57):
money for three local organizations that help with items such
as the ones that I spoke about on the twenty eighth.

Speaker 5 (05:07):
On the twenty seventh, we'll kick.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
Off with a barrel pick. It's an old forster barrel pick,
which we've got one hundred and eighty of them, and
we will be selling those and all proceeds go to
these the following organizations. On Wednesday always Lifting Spirits, and
on Thursday Chair Force one and Friday is Operation Ramp

(05:32):
It Up. All three of those organizations make up the
triple play that the Red celebrate on June.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Second, fantastic.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
And then these sipping events are at your restaurant, Smoke Justice,
they are.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
And they're in the Bourbon Lounge, and if you've not
been there, we've got over five hundred bourbons.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
And this is a great way to im to raise money.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
But also to bring the community together for a great call.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Richard, you're breaking out there.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
I'm sorry, can you hear me now?

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yes, sir?

Speaker 4 (06:12):
Okay, well my voice is about gone to but yeah,
So this is a great opportunity to support those three
organizations and what they do for the community of ALS patients.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Well, you know, supporting ALS organizations is better than just saying, well,
it's a day ending, and why give me a bourbon?
So smoke Justice j U S t I s Smoke
Justice dot com. Joe had that link of the blog
page fifty five krcy dot com. Now tell my listeners
about the Q for Care Barbecue street party.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
Okay, so the event that I just spoke about, talk
about you know our brand which is smooth bourbon, and
then we also have smoked meat. So on Saturday, Q
for a Cure is a big picnic in the street.
We've got red and white checkerboard tablecloths out. You'll go online,

(07:08):
you'll reserve your time and order your meal. Everyone has
to eat, so why not spend the money, get into
a good cause. And we have bands all day so
it's a festive environment.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
Raising money last year was amazing. We've had we served
over five hundred.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
Meals and it had a great time while servicing that community.
But that starts at eleven o'clock and it ends at
eleven am and it ends at ten pm.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
All fantastic money.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
All that money, one hundred percent of the money for
during those happy hours goes go back to the cause
and one hundred percent of these meals on the street
go to taking. Actually, basically the queue for a care
means that we want to help support patients care so
that the loved ones can get away, they grab groceries

(08:05):
or whatever they need or maybe even get a good
night's sleep.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Oh wow, that's a beautiful thing you're doing, Richard, it
really is. And if finally you've got the walk for
ALS and Louke Garrig Day a great American ballpark.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Yeah, it's it's an amazing thing that cincinnt read that
really stepped it up.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
We are not only.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Selling tickets for a block so that we can do
our our share and showing our our you know what
we want everyone to know. But we're going to walk
from Smoke Justice across the Robling Bridge to the ballpark.
And if no one has heard, there's a special event

(08:49):
prior to that.

pre game event where again when we march across with
our signs and say we're walking for our loved one,
