00:00Of course, to Debbie, to Lincoln, and to Bob Brooks, also known as Joe, for the Veterans Multisaber Center, and the volunteers, all you guys did a great job all day long.
00:15And for the people who were part of the earlier shift, thank you, too. I hope you're still listening. Our thanks to our sponsors, Acme Markets, David Dodge, Window Nation, Always Best Care, Philly and Debella Ware, Armor Medals?
00:33Oh, did I not think that out?
00:34You didn't think that out.
00:35I'm Ron Burgundy.
00:39Skip over it, man.
00:40I want to know why they weren't here.

00:59To my wife, Lisa Debella, who really just, you have no idea how much she hates talking on the radio.
01:06She's so uncomfortable with it. She never wants to be in the spotlight.
01:10But boy, did she come through in a big way this year.
01:13United Rentals Power and HVAC for the generator and Light Action Productions for the parts to keep on stage level in an angled parking lot.
01:23To Matt Kord, to Andre Gardner, Bill Weston, Tony Harris, Rodney Byrd, and the MGK engineering staff, the MGK sales staff.
01:32To Kara Lester, who is the MGK promotion staff.
01:36Woo!
01:37To our management, to our company, to everyone who had anything to do with this event today.
01:44Thank you all.
01:46So, are we there?
01:48Okay.
01:48She got it, by the way.
01:51Really?
01:51Yeah, she got it.
01:52She really got it?
01:53All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
01:54Well, okay.
01:55Then, our congratulations to Tracy.
01:59Yeah.
01:59Who got the Taylor Swift guitar.
02:02Taylor Swift guitar.
02:03I can't believe it.
02:03All right, so now it's a matter of me turning to Andre and finding out.
02:08Paul, hit that other button.
02:12Wow.
02:13Okay.
02:14All right, John.
02:15All right, thank you very much.
02:16It is my distinct honor and privilege to give the final total of this year's John DiBella's Veterans Radio Fan.
02:22And the deal was, if we broke $200,000, you would stay for two more weeks?
02:26I would stay for two more weeks.
02:28Four more years.
02:29Well, John, I'm sorry.
02:32Thank you so much.
02:33$219,000.
02:41You did it, John.
02:43You did it.
02:43That was a great call.
02:45You didn't let me hear that last tone.
02:49$219,000.
02:51All right, almost, almost 1,000th of a percent of Jalen Hurts' yearly contract.
02:58This contract, all right.
02:59Of course.
03:00That is, that is it.
03:01Folks, thank you.
03:03I don't have the words.
03:05I am burnt to a crisp today.
03:07This has been more grueling than any radio fan has ever been before.
03:12My eyes are burning.
03:13My throat is shot.
03:14My voice is at a register that I can't hear.
03:17There isn't a high note left in me, right?
03:19But what I do have is the greatest amount of gratitude for each and every one of you.
03:24For them, whether it was a $5,000 donation, a $6,000 donation, a $30,000 donation, all of this money, $219,000 to help vets in our area.
03:37And that, and again, I remind you, it's not just Philly.
03:41It's all of Delaware.
03:42It's into central Pennsylvania.
03:44It's into central New Jersey.
03:45The VMC's reach goes far and wide, and it will go far and wide even longer because of your donations before.
