Speaker 1 (00:13):
Life is dull.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's nothing but one big lull impresto.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
You do a skull and find that you're.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Really she size in your feeling like the toy on
a string.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
And your heart goes ring it ing ding ring it
ing ding ring.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
It ing thing. We get our ring a ding ding
on at fire Keeper's Casino in Battle Creek. You can
get your vegas on there too. Of course, it's on
nine ninety four right where sixty nine crosses in. And
we appreciate the opportunity to win big and have a
great time all the time. I want to remind you
too that David Hall at Hall Financial wants you to
(00:56):
win big too. You might have money sitting right in
your own home. You can get a cash out refinance
and a five minute mortgage review. And one of the
things he talks about and having the ability to access
that at Hall Financial eight sixty six Call Hall or
call Hall first dot com is your credit score.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
There are certain markers in our business in terms of
where the credit score needs to be. The ultimate is
if you're at seven sixty or higher. If you're at
seven sixty year higher on your credit score, you're going
to get the very best of terms in everything that
you do. And so a lot of people might have
a seven to twenty seven score and think it's great
and we can do a lot of things with that,
but I still try to help them to get that
(01:36):
score up over seven sixty. And then folks that maybe
have a score down in the five hundreds, of course,
who want to get them over six twenty, then we
want to get them over six eighty. There's certain markers
where we try to help people get to with their
credit and giving people credit information. I mean, it's not there.
They're not teaching this in high school and college, as
you know. So we've got a little bit of a
captive market where we're helping people understand these things better.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Those are the kind of numbers I'd like to see
on my slot machine at FireKeepers. Six eighty seven twenty
something like that. Jim Wise is the vice president of
marketing at fire Keepers Casino, and there are going to
be people who want to see Vince Gill tickets in
their hot hands. Congratulations. That's quite the coup for fire
Keepers and for.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Him, absolutely one of our biggest shows of the year.
In the last two weeks, we've announced two big shows.
We announced David Lee Roth for June thirteenth, and now
Vince Gill for July eighteenth, and again, you know, Vince
Gill was a country superstar in his own right, with
(02:38):
tons of Grammys and an award winning albums long before
they said, hey, we got this band, the Eagles. You know,
you think you'd be interested in sitting in and playing
a little bit, And now he's a mainstay with that
group playing you know, sold out runs at the Sphere
in Las Vegas. So some people only know him for
his connection to the Eagles, and of people know him
(03:01):
from his connection as a country star. And that means
you're going to get a lot of unbelievable songs on
July eighteenth. And those tickets go on sale to the
general public tomorrow at ten am, and you better get
them because I know it's kind of redundant. I'm always
saying it, but they're going it's going to go very.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Fast, I should think. So what is the best way
to get yourself in the front of the virtual line
to buy those tickets for that show or any show?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Well, the best way is to have one of our
Red Hot Rewards cards. So whether you gamble or you
don't sign up for a Red Hot Rewards card at FireKeepers,
and then you have the opportunity to get emails and
we will give you sometimes a day or two days
advanced notice of the general public to be able to
buy those tickets. So that's really the best way is
(03:50):
to have a Red Hot Rewards card to be part
of the program. And if you're a gamer, gaming at
FireKeepers generates those kind of awesome perks. So if you're
a game and you don't play enough at fire Keepers,
get on in because you'll get great offers to see
these acts again before the general public will. But whatever
tickets there are go and sale tomorrow morning.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
People off and laugh at the wallet I carry around
because it's very thick. Just say it looks like a
George Costanza wallet. But that's because one of the cards
in there, in addition to my credit cards and my
Blue Cross Healthcare card, is my Red Hot Rewards card.
It stays right in my pocket. And that's how I
found out about the Vince Gill Show. I saw email
(04:32):
just the other day from FireKeepers, So we appreciate that
very much. And while the Auto Show is going on
in Detroit this week, and there will be various other
auto shows. It's kind of always an auto show at
fire Keepers, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
We giveaway cars and trucks and the latest and the greatest,
and we always give away something if it's a unique anniversary,
a fiftieth seventy fifth anniversary. We're giving away five five
GMCs on one day, and that's February twenty eighth. And
the reason we're telling you in the middle of January
(05:08):
about that is all the entries that you earn in
the month of January and the month of February can
all be eligible on Saturday, February twenty eighth, when we're
gonna give away again five cars. No if stands or butts, no,
we announce your name, then you gotta throw a dark
we announced your name, You've won a brand new GMC,
(05:28):
including great vehicles like the Terrain, the Acadia, special vehicles
like the twenty twenty six GMC SI Era. So again,
play with that car. Fire Keepers. Earn those entries in
January and February, and then the end of February Monster
Monster Day when we're gonna give away all those great,
beautiful new vehicles.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Jim, I have fuzzy math, but do you you're talking
about five GMC vehicles, the Sierra, the Acadia, the terrain.
Do you know how much that's gonna cost you?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Yes, the promotions team has a responsibility to show me
and I have a responsibility to see it. If not,
our VP of Finance will come a call and ask
me what I'm up to. You know what, that February
twenty eighth date historically is a monster day for us.
It's kind of a combo of things, so we throw
an unbelievably big promo out there, and then to offset that,
(06:26):
you know, it's kind of a day that people have
been inside for a number of weeks and they're like,
we got to get outside and do something. So it's
the great day to get outside. Plus you've earned entries
for two months. It's just kind of a coming out
party on that day. So we're really excited. And yes,
the GMC is not the low end price vehicle and
we're going to give away five of them. Monster. Please
(06:49):
don't let the finance people hear this, Okay, Like you know,
we're telling them, listen, we got to do this. You know,
this is what the guests want and these are great
vehicles and we want to do it so on that please.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
February twenty eight five, people are gonna come on down
and win themselves all throughout the day a GMC vehicle,
So start piling up your entries now in February. It
could be you behind the wheel and then you could
drive it back to the Vince Gill Show or David
Lee Roth at fire Keepers Casino thanks to Jim Wise.
(07:24):
Big weekend of watching football there too this weekend with
the playoffs. When it comes to healthcare costs, we often
focus on one thing, our insurance premiums. But what if
we're only seeing part of the picture. The truth is
our health insurance costs reside downstream at the end of
the cost equation. But to really understand what's driving up costs,
(07:45):
we need to look upstream to the healthcare system itself. Upstream,
there are costs like the price is charged by hospitals
and doctors, and the cost of prescription drugs, healthcare administration,
and technology. These costs flow downstream directly into your health
insurance premium. That's why Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan
(08:05):
is advocating for a system wide solution to address the
rising cost of healthcare. Blue Cross knows that healthcare is
personal needs to work for everyone, and affordability matters, and
that starts with shedding light on the entire cost equation,
from upstream costs to downstream premiums. Want to learn more,
