Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, he's a FOP president. Lodge nine.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Brian Steele is joining us right now, and Brian, welcome
to the show. And I love the fact that you
were helping to make kids dreams a reality. When you
said this this morning, I go, wow, this is you know,
if people know what you look like, and a lot
of people that listen probably know you on socials, they

(00:23):
see you on TV and all of that. You're this big,
strapping guy, You're this big burly man's man, and you're like, hey,
so I'm trying to help sell Girl Scout cookies and
I just I literally chuckled out loud. Not that it's
a bad thing, but I just didn't make the connection there.
But this is a fun thing you're doing.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Yeah, I got a reputation to keep, so certainly don't
be killing everybody up. My sweet thot. Here Chuck is
rubbing off on me. It's all I could say.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yeah, Well, tell us about it. What exactly is going
on with the Girl Scout cookies.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, So kind of bumped into this by accident, but
that's how life works. So one of my colleagues from
FOP were at City Hall and we came across this
young girl named Jay and her mom Britney, were selling
some cookies and they're from White House, WHITEHLL Girl Scout
Troops sixty sixty seven zero sixty six seventy and I said, hey,
how's the cookie cell going? And she said not very good.
And this little girl was saying, how there's five girls

(01:17):
from their Scouts and extremely short on sales and they
don't believe they're going to make their goals and their
their dreams of going to Disney look like they're over.
So I mean that took two seconds for the FOP
to step in. We said, our members are part of
this community. They believe in our communities. So what we
did is we bought every single cookie on that table.
So we're definitely gonna have to work out a little

(01:38):
bit harder this month. But then we still let's get
the community together. Let's start getting the word out. And
a lot of people your listeners, they want to help.
We know this, well, here's an opportunity to help these
kids go to Disney.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Well, how do they get to troops specifically sixty six seventy,
because we know typically it's easy to find them that
you know, you could just be walking into a Walmart
or into a Meyer or whatever, and they could be
set up right there. But specifically, this the White House
Whitehall Girl Scout Troupe. They're the ones looking for specific

(02:09):
in this situation. Now some might be listening going, hey man,
that's tilting it into their you know, into their favor
or whatever. But uh, look, I'm all I'm down with
trying to help them get to Disney as well. This
is good, but how do people physically buy so they
get the credit for it?

Speaker 3 (02:25):
So this is where it's going to get a little
bit tough and a little orthodox because it's towards the
end of the sales. So the first thing you could do,
and probably the most easiest, is you can go to
the FOP nine dot org. That's our website. Under there
there's foundation donate. If they donate to, the FOP will
earmark that and one hundred percent of that will go
to the Girl Scouts. They could follow up with an
email to to Brittany who's the mom. It's b R

(02:48):
I T T A N Y dot M dot Jackson,
J A C K S O N at gmail dot com.
Or they can email info at FOP nine any one
of those routes they could call us up our number
dflp's listed. Then one of those emails, just tell us
what you want to donate what you want and we'll
take care of it.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Well, I just saw this.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
While we're sitting here like talking about this, Zach Attack
ends up sending me an email and said give him
give them my credit card number. If they don't make
their goal, he's going to go ahead and buy the
trip to Disney for the girls.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
So I just thought that was Look at Zach's face.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Right, lawn mower repair business is good.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah, listen, this is anything. If anything, if everybody chicks
the chips in a little bit, we could do this.
If there's anybody else out there, if there's other Girl
Scouts that are in the same boat, please reach out
to the FLP. Let us know. We have a lied,
a net we can cast and there's people that want
to help. It's just unfortunately sometimes we don't know about it.
But today we know about Whitehall Girl Scout Troops six

(03:52):
sixty seven zero. Any of those means can get to us.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Also with this, I mean, what kind of do they
put numbers on this or do they just say we
need to you know, sell the most or did you
inquire about that going?

Speaker 1 (04:05):
So, what's basically going to get this done?

Speaker 2 (04:08):
As far as numbers go, I'm guessing man, maybe they
probably didn't talk about that.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
It probably takes about each child probably has to come
up with about five hundred dollars in sales, which which
you know, in the scheme of things for some people,
is not a lot for some people. That's everything What
I love the most about Jay, this little girl I met.
She was actually putting in the work. She was sitting there.
A lot of times we don't see that. A lot
of times I come to work and I see all

(04:33):
these forms laying out. A guy's selling cookies, and I'm like, great,
where's the kid. They gonna hustle a little bit. This
is actually a kid putting in the work. And that's
just what really struck me. And here's something awesome too.
When I bought the cookies, I said, Okay, these are
my cookies. I want to give them away. Will you
help me give them away? She says yes, And I
said who should we give them to? And she said,
let's go to the fireman and thent's walk across to

(04:53):
the police department. So I thought that was awesome, this
girl won my heart.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, that's perfect. Wow, those are I mean, those answers
don't get any better than that. I got to also
ask you guys bought all that they had there? Was
it an assortment or did they have more of satan
mintz or did they have the grass?

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Like? What kind of do you just have an assortment there?

Speaker 3 (05:14):
It's an assortment, you name it, s'mores, tag alongs. We
boxed them all up. A couple of them found their
way to my glovebox, which they're going to stay for
a couple of weeks. And then the other ones we've
just been dropping them off every time we see a
cop we go by a substation and officer in a
parking lot, we pull up and really, here brother, your sister,
here's some cookies. Courtesy at J and E f O B.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
That's very cool.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Once again, people give give the websites again where people
can specifically buy the Whitehall Girl Scout Troop sixty six
seventy the Girl Scout cookies so they can realize their
dreams and win this trip to Disney.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yep, you could email. You could email the Girl Scout mom.
Your name is Brittany b. R I t T A
n Y dot M dot Jackson at gmail dot com.
You could you could write to info I NFO at
FOP nine dot org. You can go to FOP nine
dot org's website under Foundation donate, or you could always
cut a check to the FOP Foundation at sixty eight

(06:12):
hundred truck Hill Court, Columbus. One hundred percent of those
proceeds will turn over to Girl Scout White Hole Girl
Scout Troops sixty six seven zero for Jay and our friends.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
FOP President Lodge nine, Brian Steele with a plea to
help the Girl Scouts and get to Disney. So, Brian,
thank you very much, Thanks brother for jumping on with us.
We appreciate you. And Chuck and I are waiting on
our boxes. So at any point feel free.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
You got it, I'll come over. I'll give you a
couple of boxes for a check. You got a deal.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
Hey, Hey, Brian, this is a zach. If they don't
make the goal of going down to Florida, tell them
I can foot a bill to get them all the
way down to Goodell.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Park for a day. We'll circle back on that. Gentlemen,
thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Thanks Brian, We appreciate it. Man, oh man, that's so
generous of you, Zach.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
I have an open wallet and an open heart.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
I'm trying to remember what TV show it was where
the girls were selling cookies or there was something with
a fundraiser, and they set up their table outside of dispensary.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Uh oh, that is brilliant.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
Quite frankly, yeah, I'm thinking I don't know if that's
there's any legal repercussions, but instead of being in front
of a grocery store, I think that's where i'd be.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
I mean, it's going to take a special group of
parents to be okay with their girl scouts setting up
outside of one of the dispensaries.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
I mean, but it's absolutely genius.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
I would imagine you would sell those inside of an hour.
You could have thousands of boxes and you would probably
move them, I mean pretty quickly. I've maintained that having
a doughnut place just next to almost sharing a wall,
if you will, with a dispensary is genius. But that
right there, Chuck, I mean, that is Sharon a walk perfect.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
Man. Let the fumes get over there while they're deciding
which greenery they want to purchase and look like Yogi
bear Jellystone Park. Following that sent out the door and
right next to that, Oh yes.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
Chuck, I just I just looked this up. A girl
Girl Scouts actually did that in San Francisco twenty eighteen.
They said they sold two hundred and eight boxes in
an hour there.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
You know.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
You could.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah, so do that math, you set up outside there,
you just invest five hours, you sell a thousand boxes
of those, and that right there would be some big money.
That might be what they need to just get over
the hump and end up at Disney. But I again,
since it was twenty eighteen, what is that, that'd be
what seven years ago? I would imagine that that might

(08:42):
have been the last time.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Their people probably got involved in it.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, that's not It doesn't go along with our image
or whatever, all right,
