Speaker 1 (00:10):
Two of the greatest teams in the country, two of
the finest coaches in the history of intercollegiate football. Big Bowl,
Big Woody, the nineteen seventy five confrontation of me. If
you got to the Ohio State, the winner goes to
the Rose Bowl, the loser goes to the Orange Bowl.
Everybody's happy today, But right now, every cotton pick and
(00:31):
ball player down there, whether he's wearing maize and blue
or scarlet and gray, he wants nothing but California.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Here we come.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
That is not Warner Wolf, and that is not Chris Berman.
That is the predecessor of all of them. Bob You
for the insurance salesman from ann Arbor who was the
radio broadcaster for the Wolverines for all those years. And
you can walk through in ann Arbor the Pioneer High
School parking lot and field, and you can hear Bob
(01:02):
you for his voice, still all these decades later, ringing
out from people's radios as they tailgate before the twelve
to fifteen kickoff Saturday morning. And I'm sure if you
walk through FireKeepers, Casino and Battle Creek on Saturday morning,
you'll see that game on most of the televisions all
around the casino and then Saturday night, the Spartans are
(01:25):
playing downtown Detroit. You'll be able to see them at
FireKeepers as well. Jim Wise is the vice president of
Marketing at FireKeepers and on our radio stage right now
at Thanksgiving. Welcome back to the airwaves.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Michael Patrick. Always great to be with you, and I
hope your giant audience has a great Thanksgiving weekend and
we get so many things going on at fire Keepers
this weekend, including the football that you mentioned with Ohio
State being a ten point favorite coming up on Saturday.
But Saturday is also a huge day as we're doing
our THEYKA Your Way Away, which is a monster day
(02:02):
for us and a great day for people to get
some vacations and prizes. How about one hundred and seventy
thousand dollars worth of vacations and prizes and it starts
off at twelve noon and runs all the way to
ten o'clock. By the way, at ten o'clock, somebody wins
twenty thousand dollars in a travel voucher and ten thousand
dollars in red Hot credits. So you'd get your fire
(02:23):
Keepers on and get yourself an amazing trip to somewhere
around the world, including a Portugal which I was blessed
to go to earlier this year and had a great,
great experience. So there's places out there to go out
and see, and you can go see them thanks to
fire keepers.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Coming up this Saturday, one winner at ten o'clock will
get twenty thousand, Two winners at eight o'clock fifteen thousand
dollars travel vouchers plus Red Hot Rewards credits, and then
at six o'clock. This is on Saturday, three winners get
ten thousand. Four o'clock, three winners get five thousand, two o'clock,
three winners three thousand, and then three winners will get
(02:59):
that starting it all off at noon five thousand and
Red Hot credits. With this voucher, do you get to
pick where you want to go or how does it work?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
One hundred percent. We'll basically give you that and that
is good for whether you want to go by air,
by boat, by skateboard. It doesn't matter. That travel voucher
will be good. It's not one of those highly limited scenarios. No,
you just then pick the place and how do you
want to get there. It's two flights and it's three flights.
(03:30):
You're going around the world. Whatever you want to do,
that travel voucher will be able to get you there.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
What if somebody wins and they say I want to
go to Battle Creek.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Then we will put them in a car with one
hundred and seven twenty thousand dollars in a gas credit
and we will drive them around until they're completely satisfied
that they've seen everything in that great city.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
So and you can start at the pit stop there
and get the gas right there on property.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
You're gone, right. We will keep circling around and make
sure when that tank gets low, we're exactly ironically, look
at where we're at. We're at the pit stop gas
station right here at fire Keepers. We'll pick up some
more fuel. Keep your going.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
You know, it was one thing we would watch the
Lions on Thanksgiving and then we would eat and we
sort of stare at each other and two things would happen,
you know. We would either start a family poker game
or and or we would go to the movies. That
was like a Thanksgiving kind of thing to do. Now
though you have FireKeepers open twenty four to seven, and
I imagine there are a lot of people who once
(04:32):
they finish up with all that, they make their way
to the casino. And not just on Thanksgiving, but Black
Friday is a good attachment too to stop in there
and then with the football all weekend right up through
the primetime game of the Spartans. I mean that's a weekend,
it is.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
And on Black Friday, we have a Monster Day with
thousands in gift cards and Red Hot Credits also, and
that runs from one pm to five pm on Friday,
so you can win Red Hot Credits. You can win
gift cards from Visa, Dick, Sporting Goods, Best Pro Shops,
Best Buy more. Every hour, five different winners will be
(05:13):
drawn to select a gift card from a punchboard, plus
receive a Red Hot Credit prize. So Black Friday is
a Green Friday. And get you off to your holiday
shopping by visiting fire Keepers.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
And you know they have those doorbuster sales at the stores,
but it's always open at FireKeepers. It's twenty four to
seven operation. And for people who maybe don't want to
cook on Thanksgiving or don't have that option, can they
come in and eat there?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Sure, Ken, because all our restaurants are open and they
have their regular menu for example. Plus they will have
a special Thanksgiving menu, so you can check on our website.
There's a special at Nebe, a special at Cafe, a
special at Smoke and Fire. So if you want the
Thanksgiving experience, we're going to deliver that. And if you say, hey, nope,
(06:01):
I would just like a certain meal at one of
the fire Keepers restaurants, we'll be ready to deliver that also.
And on Thanksgiving are staffed an awesome job by going
around doing two three hundred plus meal ceremonies for those
less fortunate in Battle Creek. So our thank you, Thank
you a fire Keeper's Food and Beverage member if you're
at the casino for all they did, that's very.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Very sweet, and thank you very much. And please thank
Homer Mandoca. I'm sure he's going to be wearing a
bow tie on Thanksgiving and he's back in the game again.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Eh. Yes, he is our new chairperson for our tribal council.
Elections were completed and new positions were made and Ariel
Boonster is our vice chairperson. And maybe we'll get a
chance to have you talk to one of them or
maybe both, who knows. When you happen to bring the
(06:54):
greatness of Michigan's Big Show to fire Keepers. Coming up
in December on the nineteenth.
