Speaker 1 (00:13):
Hey, Rick, here from the Rick and Bubba Show. Hope
you're enjoying some of the best moments in Rick and
Bubba history. But don't forget January the sixth. Right here,
a new era begins with the Rick Burgess Show. Speedy,
Greg and Adler will be joining me for a whole
new adventure January the sixth. Don't you dare miss it.

(01:08):
One of the better show got rats I've ever seen.
Was very There was a good crowd out there. I
thought the championship game would hurt the attendance a little bit.
The weather turned out to be not as cold as
I thought it was gonna be, so the weather was
very mild, was nice, but it was a great turnout.
A lot of Rick and Bubble love, a lot of
Why one O two, the beat of Montgomery love, and Uh,
I just had a great time. I thought our float

(01:29):
was good. We had a good pa. It was actually uh,
we were having a good time. It seemed like the
crowd was enjoying our comments. Uh. You know, we have
a little fun with the crowd sometimes. Why now, Yeah, yes,
I thought, you know what. Seaches and d looked good.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
They did. They were up there together. It was kind
of like they're coming out as a couple. I thought
that was great, sure, you know, and I think some
of the good lines, you know, the night we thought
about it, you know, you you had some dandies, you know,
because you talked about how the incident we're about to
talking about took all that away from you.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
But but I don't think it did.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Think it was one of my better line, not yes
on that off the mint, Yes, yeah, I got I
had one you didn't hear when I was on the
back of the cart. May have been my best one,
would say, well, I won't go you wrong. Now, well,
I do remember if I could.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
You know, one of my own personal favorites was ma'am,
put your shirt down where you have no beads?

Speaker 3 (02:13):
YEA thought that was again, that was a good book.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Right, So that that that and we knew the customary
inviting you back to the Mayor's house for Hotchell, right,
you know that's.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
All right, and and so we we had a great
time with that. But then the you know, the the
parade ends, we're in somewhat of a rush to try
to see the rest of the SEC championship, and all
of a sudden and I know, a lot of you know,
the various great bands all over this country. And one
of the finest you'll see, uh and don one is
our band experts. It's is the only member of the

(02:41):
show that's been in a marching band, the Alabama State
Hornet Marching Hornets as U and they they are extremely
good and you know, a lot of you have seen
their performances. I love that performance. I love I love
all the great show bands, especially when they get a
dance formation, break it down right. So undoubtedly, and Ban World,

(03:03):
you stay in ban marching mode all the way to
the bus.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Yes, your information the entire time from when the parade
starts or whatever it is, if it's a parade of
feel shal uh, any type of performance.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Hey, you're you're on.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
You know, you're you're live and you're hot until the
very end when you're at the buses blowing up right.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
So there we're trying to get to our our limo.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
That is that is taking us back to our van,
you know, because all of you know we're still very
common people.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yes, and uh, and you know and and and I
know a.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Lot of you are frustrated by the fact that there's
been success with the show I don't really understand that. Uh,
would y'all be happier if we just turned down the
next race they offer us?

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Would that make everybody happier?

Speaker 5 (03:41):
Rick?

Speaker 3 (03:41):
I will say this.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
If somebody says that they will come pick you up
in a limo, go yeah, right, yes, that's it's just
that something.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
It's really roomy in there.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
So they're going to take us all back to our
van where we can leave part of the Grand Marshal trade.
You're right, but I just we've just been geting some
silly emails lately, and it's just, I mean, it's very
hurtful to us and our families. But anyway, so we're
gonna just which would make sense, and I was about
to do it too, is when you see a gap
in the band, cut through and get to the call out, Rick,

(04:10):
what a minute, let me let me set this up. Okay,
so everybody understands fully where we're coming from. We are
coming down the street looking for our right Okay, we
see it go by on a street and we're actually
trying to flag it down and go we're here because
we have no way to get back to our vehicle. Okay, Well,
we're we're basically waiting at the end of the parade

(04:31):
route because we wanted to see the ASU band come by.
And they're coming by, and look, I love drum lines,
but it's the next guy.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
I mean, I'm enjoying it. Well the band. The band
makes a sharp right hand turn and comes into a parking.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Lot where their bus is at.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Well, we're also trying to go through that parking lot
at the same time. I know, we had to jump
over a little wall and come down, and you know,
my left leg is just I mean, it's it's shot
right here. Okay, I got a partially torn acl broke toes.
I'm just I'm struggling this. So the band is broke
in there, and we have to have a shot out
here on the website.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
That's gonna be the first picture you'll see.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yes, the band is coming by and we're standing there
and we're enjoying it. I mean, we're all, you know,
acting like we're in the drum I mean, you know
everybody d is doing. He knows all the moves, he's
he's beat boxing with the band. You know, we're just
enjoying the holiday festivities. Well, you know, I'm not up
on band runs right, I'm thankfully because I'm gona tell you,
I'm gonna tey all straight up. If I was looking

(05:32):
for a gap to cut through, I really will. I'm
not gonna. I mean, yeah, but no.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
But here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
I didn't know. I didn't know that there was a
band route. But common courtesy, common respect. Were's gonna have
to be a beauty.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
You don't jump through the band when they're coming in there. Well, see,
I didn't know that was common curtisy to see that.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
I didn't know that didn't Well, the drum line is
got by. We're I mean, we can't be twenty foot
from the bus the back of it, and they're kind
of breaking up, you know whatever. Well there's a little
gall in the line. But let's not forget the said
to us. Yeah I gave it, not break the line. Okay,
I didn't hear that. Yeah, yeah, he grabbed grabbed me

(06:09):
and he was that was probably important. Now you didn't
hear that, okay, because I thought you'd heard it and
just thought, well, it's just that I'm probably working on
another another colorful one line quill that I want to
you know, No, don one grabs me by the shoulder,
and he looks at all of Hey, Dave, what was
wrong with my shoulder? And he and I did not
get that. He said, do not But but here's the thing.

(06:30):
He heard it, that's all, and he said, do not
break through. The line is considered. You know, they will
not let you come through. Can't break the line. Here's it.
I didn't know that, so I'm glad. But I'm glad
you told me because then I could have been Bubba.
Well see, I think I think for the most part,
the band has quit. The drums are already by, they quit,
you know, we're and there's this huge gap now, so
I start to walk through.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
There are small little gaps because you got you got
your dance line in the front and as a little
small gap, and then you got the band. Then you
have you know, the drum line. Then you got a
little small gap, and there's the color guard.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yea, so well, and and I'm walking through here and
then all of a sudden, it's almost like somebody who's
gonna pole vaults. You know, they come they come running
with a pole in their hand and they playing it
on the ground and then they spin around, you know,
use it as a lever.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Her lett spin.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Around, Bubba goes, Bubba goes to break through the walk
through this big gap, and all of a sudden, I
see almost like you know how in football you work
on the angle tackle.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Oh yeah, it was a nice thing. It was Carl
Lewis closing off. Let me tell you she was big,
but she had speed. Yeah, and it was a big
flag girl. And she starts closing also here, Oh no,
you won't look And I hear that, and I'm what's
got that happened? And so she plants that flash. He
got the leverage onman with that post. Yeah, and and
got it in you know you won't got it in there?

(07:49):
And she and she spun around and you tell from
the picture she's got good hip actions and she's moving
now and she brings that pole up on me and
I got my hands in my pocket right and you
can see clay but you know right there. Yeah, And
I'm gonna tell you what you know, For a minute,
I think can I run? And I can't because I'm injured.
Oh no, you walk And I just jumped off a
block wall, which I shouldn't have done. So my foot

(08:12):
is stinging right now.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Okay, look at she's got some big legs, you see,
and some booty too. I mean she turned on Bubba
and had some leverage. I don't think you were ready
for it.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Well, Rick, what I was gonna say, you know, I
thought about was just going on through. But I I
you know, I gave up something to wait departmentary. I
don't think I can make no. She had you, so
I just very politely. I didn't pull my hands. I
just moved back, you know, and got out of the way.
Now that was funny watching the back of your little sandit. Yeah,
it was.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Hopping up and down.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
I was backing up because I did back up with
a little with it, just a slot bounce.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
And I credit you for being honest, because I thought
she clipped and you said no.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
She got her head in front of me and here
right on my shoulder and pushed me back. It was
a legal block.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
It was legal.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
There was no flag. And I'm sorry, man, I had
not married. Just don't don't hurt me, man.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
She closed. I couldn't believe how quick I'll tell you,
Oh no, you won't.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
Ricking Bubba, Ricking Bubba.

Can you believe that?

Speaker 6 (09:48):
And I tell you the big you're ender sitting back
and looking at that. When you're in charge of an
event like that, it's almost like a blur because you're
just constantly going on. I know a a lot of
you can relate to that, whatever your line of work is,
if you're kind of the one that's in charge of
the timeline and different things leading up to it, it's
just like organized chaos, which is our show, which has

(10:12):
always been fun. We're not having fun unless it's chaos, right.
But the overwhelming support and emails and text messages and
those of you that came by took effort to come
live to the studio. That takes effort, and we appreciate
that that doesn't go unnoticed, and we've heard from so

(10:32):
many of you since then. If you're just joining us,
you're like Speedy, I won't know what you're talking about.
The Rick and Bubba show thirty one years has come
to an end, but we're celebrating that with best of us,
celebrating the show and looking back at some of the
bigger moments and the request good night, the request, y'all
have been sending those in and so we've been compiling

(10:53):
those and trying to get to those as much as
we can. Of course, leading up to Christmas, it'll be
a little bit of a Christmas theme, which some of
you would love. And yes we will play Willy and Wanda.
I've heard it, you know, a gazillion times, but it
never gets old, almost memorized every line, and that is
a true story. So we look, we'll look at that,
and then it'll all go to January sixth, where the

(11:15):
Rick Burgess Show will debut. So looking forward to it,
and let's continue now with more best of requests off

make sure you don't use the poor salespeople.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
They don't care.

Speaker 8 (12:25):
They're making minimum waves. They want to be there. They're
making their check to get drunk and wasted on the weekend.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Right, That is it.

Speaker 8 (12:33):
I mean people used to come.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
To me like, can you tell me where a house?

Speaker 9 (12:36):
Where is it?

Speaker 1 (12:37):
That way?

Speaker 8 (12:38):
Somewhere that way? So you know, I'm eighteen years old,
I'm working at Sears Paint and we had a big rivalry.
Hardware was right next to us, and there were two hardwares.
There was commission that was kind of cool, and then
there was the hardware and no commission, so we didn't
We looked down on them because they thought they were cool.
So we kind of and I used to prank them

(12:59):
all the time. It was this big fat dude and
toy department.

Speaker 10 (13:02):
I used to always, Hey, I'm coming in to buy
some Wilson basketballs, and if I come in and get
a rain chick, I'm gonna bunch you in your FETs,
not bucks. Now, I want you to go in the
stock room and check you understand.

Speaker 8 (13:15):
It's his little fat belly going. So we kind of
owned the pit. Well one day I'd always prank people.
Then one day is this nude guy and he's working
in the hardware department, and this start of guy used
to work in my department came up to he's, okay,
the guy in hardware is real jerk. He kicks me
out of the department. Well, all right, let's take care.

(13:39):
And we see the guy's like thirty five. If you're
thirty five, seers, forget it. I gotta take you down
something wrong going down here, you're going down.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
Well, the sounds familiar or not.

Speaker 8 (13:52):
So I call up, you know, and it was at
the time, it was nineteen eighty four or five. And
if you remember, Reagan was pressed and we had the
problem with Libya. Yeah, and Maria Muma Kuduffy. They shot
six Libyan missiles at a US airplane and missed.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Remember that I missed.

Speaker 8 (14:12):
And that's when Reagan, well, let's just go bomb them.
And we went in and we bombed them. Well, at
the time, it was huge news. So I called up
this banana in hardware and I go hello, he goes.

but it would have been something, it would have been.
It would have been a good one, almost movie like
kind of like if Speedy had charged the stage while
kiss was up there that it would have been funny
if it really happened.

Speaker 17 (20:16):
So this is all allegedly reportedly, especially since the law
could get involved in this. All right, I'm well, y'all
come out on the ice with me. I'm not here, Yeah, okay,

get no time to even react. Okay, something comes out
in front of my car and I and I plow it.
I don't even check up, it's so quick. Okay, something

(21:36):
ran out in front for the brakes nothing. I didn't
even let my foot off the gas. I'm kicking. Yeah,
So I go, oh, wow, that's that's not gonna be
good for something. So Q goes, I think it was
a bird, and I said it looked like a huge bird.
So I go, I'm turned around. It's at nighttime, this road.
Nobody's we turn around on this back road.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Go back to it. It is an owl. Wow?

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Okay, Now you mean a friend of yours hit the owl?

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Heard him? This is just a movie I saw. Yeah,
this had happened. Wow, allegedly reportedly pretty good size on
this out Yeah? Huge okay, missive they're big.

Speaker 17 (22:18):
So yeah, so if if I was to hit one,
I would have to get out and check my truck
and make sure nothing happen.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
And nothing's happened to it. It's fine. And really, I
check out this bird. We'll call it the crow that
I hit. A crow, A big Crow're not protecting well,
you're getting ahead of mere. Sorry, so I might put
a heart. I go check out the crow. We're going

(22:46):
to check on the crow. Big and the crow is
in very good shape. Really okay, it's alive. No, Now,
I just mean he's he's looking good. Okay, he's intact.
I'm gonna call the I'm gonna call the crow hooter.

Speaker 17 (22:59):
Okay, all right, Well anyway, I check him out and
he's he's an excellent condition.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
I don't know if you and Q should use the
term hooter. And I don't want to know what what
what what Q want to do with about By the way,

see castil checking out a hooter or a crow, and
those nerves kick in and those talents go, I got,

It's out in the parking lot. We'll just we'll jump
up real quick. We're right up, real smooth, get out,
toss him out and leave. It's gonna be real easy.
As soon as we pull up, there is the biggest
sign I've ever seen in my life. Okay, dumpster for
park use only. Violators will be prosecuted and fine. Okay,
So now I'm I'm committing.

Speaker 14 (27:42):
I go.

Speaker 17 (27:42):
Look, I've got a frederial fence. They can't bust me
for the dumps. That's small change.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Okay.

Speaker 17 (27:48):
Once I'm in life, you can't had more years onto it. Okay,
So I go, all right, I'm just gonna hop out here. Look,
we can't let anybody see this. We don't need to
make noise, don't need to look suspicious, even.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Though we're going to drop and go. So how about
the truck.

Speaker 17 (28:01):
And I'm about halfway there and everything is going smooth,
and Q takes off screaming, bloody murder.

Speaker 15 (28:07):
A truck is.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Still in drive. You are carrying a dead crow to
a dompster a dead crow and your truck is driving
off without you.

Speaker 17 (28:22):
And the door is open and the truck is rolling
because the main intersection with the fence.

Speaker 7 (28:28):
So I'm start running back.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
I'm trying to I'm trying with one foot on the ground.
I'm skipping, trying to get one foot in the truck
and being inconspicuous. Yeah, trying to keep it low. Okay,
keep it. It's hard to drive ad under one arm stiff.
By the way, a big bird, it's just as big
as a time having a parent, as big as a

(28:54):
t and the talons won't slip through the baby. You know,
give me can get you. You have disease eating rats.
So finally it's all a miracle.

Speaker 17 (29:03):
Q throws it in park about the time I'm hitting
break and we are six inches from a fence on
going out into the main draft.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
I bet that was a pressure start kicking off from
the king, you know, slamming on the trail.

Speaker 21 (29:13):
It's like a look, well, just everything's gotta go smooth.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Just sit here, I'm gonna throw away. It will be fine.
You know what, this is light. When the Brady bunch
took that statue with it, you know what this is like,
this is this is not men at work when they
got that dead guy and can't for.

Speaker 17 (29:29):

We're all good. So you're gonna go back to the
dumpster that that has the big sign after all that's happened,
Like God's not already warning you. I've got to this point.

Speaker 17 (29:47):
I've got to get rid of it. Okay, Now you
realize we're at a recreational park.

About the time I get over through the dumpster, the
softball game is letting out, okay, and here are one
hundreds thousand and some people coming out, all right, and
I'm sticking over to a dumpster.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
With something in a bag. Okay, So God just tossed
it so I can't even got time to get over there.

Speaker 17 (30:10):
So I tossed it at the dumpster to that little
side mark it goes straight out the other side.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
This thing is.

Speaker 17 (30:20):
Just bird bagging off. He's the fence, you know, gives
the rattle. So now everybody is you know what's going on.

Speaker 6 (32:15):
It is the best of Rick and Bubba's show. And
thank you so much for joining us here on the
kickoff fire. I'm your host, Speedy as we look back
at thirty one years and celebrate something that will never
happen again.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
And I have been so honored to be a part
of it. And that's the Rick and Bubba Show.

Speaker 6 (32:30):
And in the same time, also excited about what's coming
January the sixth, the debut of a new era with
the Rick Burgess Show. All of that can be found
at Rick Burgessshow dot com. Let's jump back in.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
I am sick and tired. Here is another story, and
this is not a new story again. Here is a
woman who has gotten so fat. She has had to
be removed from her house with a crane. Baba, look
at me.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
A crane. A crane. They're bringing in a crane because
they can't get you out of the house. A crane, y'all.
Mama fell off the bed, y'all. Back it up. Mama
fell off the bed. Back it in, back it in,

(33:26):
back in. First of all, let's take the front of
the house off, okay, and see if we can't come
in through the roof to get you out of your bedroom. Wait,
a crane, baba. If you look and there is a
construction site in your front yard and somebody says, what
what's going on here?

Speaker 19 (33:45):
Y'all?

Speaker 1 (33:45):
Y'all remodeling the house. No, we can't get mama out
of the room. You realize, I mean, you look out
in front of your house. Men at working signs out there.
To get you out of your house, firefighters had to
use a makeshift crane to get an eight hundred and
forty pound woman out of her home. Y'all. This is

(34:07):
not the first time we reported this. This is why
I'm sick, y'all. If I don't care, a lot of
you people are gonna call insensitive. Look, I'm fat. I
am fat. Say it again, Bubba, you say it. I'm fat,
I'm fat, I am overweightd and it is my fault.
Nobody else is it. Rick Burgess is to blame that

(34:29):
I'm fat. But I can get up out of the
bed without a crane. I mean, you know what's that? Mama?
What you want? You want to try to go?

Speaker 5 (34:42):
Get up?

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Okay, hang on this come back it in. Mama fell
off the bed and according to the story, it had
got to where she couldn't breathe because she fell out
of the bed. Had to be taken down the stairs
from the second floor, so firefighters put an old door
with a mattress on top, a harness and a series

(35:05):
of pulleys attached to a fire truck to carry her
down from the window. It took two hours to get
her on the ground. Fat community, listen to me. Let's say,
I'm a woman. Okay, I know, I went said I'm
a man. It doesn't matter. Let's face it. If I

(35:27):
stood looked at y'all.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
And one day I got up, I said, you know
what I weighed today, bub I weighed four hundred pounds.
At four hundred pounds, I would have to announce, Hey, guys,
I'm in trouble here. I weigh four hundred pounds. A
lot of you and our audience weigh four or five
hundred pounds. This woman went on beyond that pinnacle for

(35:50):
another four hundred and forty pounds, for a grand total
of eight hundred and forty pounds, to the point to
where you fall off your They have to get a
crane in there, because you can't breathe a crane a crane.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
I can't. I'm speechless. Pounds don't You don't wake up
one day weigh eight hundred and forty pounds. Well, Rick,
it's a big stamp from you know, I've put on
a little weight. I probably need to do a little
more exercising, maybe do a little diet. Get it off
to Hey, they're removing the shingles, so when you get
the crane down through the roof's that is a big step.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
That's my point. Thank you, you've grasped it now. There
are a lot of people that are gonna send me letters.
You're making fun of a fat person. No, I am
a fat person.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
And how about this if I weigh eight hundred and
forty pounds and y'all go out there to the Indian
Springs and a crane is backed up to get me
out of the garage because that's the only place they
was rooming for me.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
It even stay anymore, was the garage. They've moved me
to a garage because it's the only thing big enough
to house me. Okay, do you realize it?

Speaker 1 (36:59):
You know, really, if somebody said to you at your home, hey,
I got a piece of furniture coming at weighs eight
hundred and forty pounds, you go, my gosh, that's too
big for the house. I mean that's like having a
small automobile in your bedroom, you know it, or a hippo.
You know who's cooking for this person? I mean, can
we not? I mean, what there a point where somebody said, Mama, mama,

(37:25):
we need to do something. You weigh four hundred pounds,
and you know it goes off. I mean they have
to give her sponge bath. She can't get in tubs.
Oh no on, let's come wipe her down.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
Don't you know your heart as big as a watermelon.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
None of you get that big.

Speaker 15 (37:43):
See.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
I think it's not like you can't get up and
come get you if you don't cook for just tell
her no and nothing you do about it.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Well, if you get closer she grabs you.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
You've had it. Let me tell you one thing, though,
Let me tell you something. It' chase you to the house.
If Mama finds out there's not a meal coming, no,
she'll call the crane.

Speaker 20 (37:58):

Speaker 19 (40:47):
All of you.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
And speaking of Rick, quick message from one Rick Burgess.
Hey Rick here, I hope you're enjoying the best of
Rick and Bubba's We're celebrating thirty one years of radio Gold,
but don't forget. On January the sixth, a brand new
era begins the Rick Burgess Show. Speedy, Greg and Adler
would join me get all the details right now at
rickburgesshow dot com Writers news Agency is reporting. Well, those

(41:11):
crazy Spaniards they're at it again. A goat, which was
to be hurled from a church belfry in a Spanish
village's annual ritual, never left the ground when participants were
threatened with heavy governmental fines. They're hurling a goat After
years of ignoring pleas from animal rights activists who consider

(41:34):
the tradition inhumane. Village officials put a stop to this
year's jump of the goat by vowing tough actions against
goat tossers. Now, Baba, what what.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
About?

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Two Thousand people, many of them drunk on wine yes,
gathered in the streets of Manganese del Al in northern
Spain during the village's annual fiesta to see what would
happen when use brought a brown goat to the front
of the church. They told the crowd they would go

(42:13):
through the ritual if others paid their fines up to
fifteen thousand American dollars each. No one took them up
on the offer, and the goat hurling was abruptly canceled.
There had been rumors revelers would use a stuff goat,

(42:34):
but participants said that would have been unmanly. Unmanly if
you thow a fake goat, you'll be made fun of
in the village. The practice, which villagers say date back
anywhere from twenty to one hundred years, traditionally involved sending
the goat on a fifty foot plunge onto a canvas

(42:55):
sheep below. Animal right campaigners say goats been.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
Killed by the fall. Well, I would think so. The
ritual was officially banned in nineteen ninety two by the
governor of the Zamora Providence. I think he was in
a parade we had this year, Yes, but.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Villagers wrecked so violently when police tried to stop them
that it was allowed to be reinstated.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Now, Baba, what kind of religious ritual involves throwing a
goat from fifty feet from the church. Who was the
person who said, I tell you what, if we want
to show how we're getting close to Jesus, when we
take his goat up to the belfry and y'all stand
down here, drink some wine, I'll toss him down to you.

Speaker 8 (43:38):
Now.

Speaker 3 (43:38):
We saw a little clip of this on the news
this morning. They actually catch him.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
It was like it looks like a big bed sheet. Now,
the one that we saw got up, ran off the sheet.

Speaker 15 (43:48):
He was fine.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
It was like jumping from a fire, you see how people.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
Was that the warm up though, for the big plunge? No?

Speaker 3 (43:55):
I think that was the plunge from a year gone by.
What it says they throw him from the belfry.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
Oh, I know where they were from the belfry.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
Well you think the first time nobody caught it in
the sheet? Well, look I go back side that that
that was kind of gross. Let's get a sheet.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
Look, this is trying to catch you know, somebody probably
only had a throw or something like that. Well, I'll
tell you what happened. They got up there and they
threw the first one, and people go, wow, that's messy.
You know what I mean, Let's catch the goat. I'll
tell you what. What do y'all need to hustle up
that goat?

You know, it's not every day that you get to

(49:39):
interview a Christmas tree. Yeah, just hear me out. We
actually had a Christmas tree standing in the studio. Yeah,
oh yeah, I got it right here. If you don't
have it already, yeah, go ahead. Let's see. Let me
get my Christmas playlist here. Something something so snappy, something pepy, because.

Speaker 1 (49:57):
It's the best time of the year. I'd like that one.
We got something.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
Let's see how that deck the halls? Okay with William.

Speaker 9 (50:08):
Bug falls off.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
The tree now swaying left and right. He's got a
little step to tell the trees white. Yeah, well the
trees are all brown and green. Look look at that
star heights hanging in there, ye.

Speaker 12 (50:32):
Ju.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
And you know you can't tell it, but you know
he's look the lights are on and everything. Yeah, I mean,
he's why the lights are on, aren't they? You know,
turn it, turn the lights off. Let's look at him.
Let's look at him in his and his in his
amber and the blow. How pretty isn't that something that is? Baba? Look,
I mean he's lights on.

Speaker 25 (50:56):
Christmas tree if I didn't have lights.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
Sure, that's true.

Speaker 25 (50:58):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
Let's see you dance the lots on a little bit.
So you see how angry you got when I suggested
that they be one without lots. Oh the lights of
the light the way for christ. Yeah, that's where it
all started.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
So your your official stance and you represent Christmas trees everywhere,
is if you don't like the term Christmas and Christmas tree,
then just don't have a tree. Don't disrespect you by
putting one up and calling it something that I.

Speaker 25 (51:21):
Totally agree with that that is appropriate.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
Well, now you'll having town meetings or do you have
a union or anything that's a little upset.

Speaker 25 (51:28):
No, no union. You know it's a non union shop
most places.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
So you're saying it's a rock to work for est.

Speaker 25 (51:35):
Yeah, it's the right to work for us. There's saying
only seventy seven million of us. They've got to compete, so.

Speaker 26 (51:42):
Every year a new seventy seven million to put in
the ground. And you know I grew up in about
three or four years. And how did you realize that
we grow Christmas trees in Hawaii?

Speaker 1 (51:52):
Also really all fifty states? All right, we have some
questions for the tree. Well we've only got a few
minutes left. Let's go to the whole Number two. That's
brutal after the season, Nicholas and Jasper, you have a
question for the tree, Go ahead.

Speaker 3 (52:13):
Yeah, Christmas tree.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
We live up pierreld Smith like, and when we get
done and we like to throw you in the lake.

Speaker 15 (52:17):
Does that hurt your feelings?

Speaker 1 (52:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (52:19):
How do you like being put in lakes so you
can be habitat for fish?

Speaker 25 (52:22):
Well, that's not a problem.

Speaker 26 (52:23):
That's doing something productive with me instead of putting me
in a trash dump.

Speaker 25 (52:27):
At least you give them someplace for the fish to
hang out.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
All right. I'm glad to know they feel that way,
and I had a feeling that they would keep that
giving spirit even after.

Speaker 3 (52:37):
Christmas tree is a giver. Christmas tree too. What about people?

Speaker 1 (52:40):
Are they watering y' all right? Or are they leaving
you a little dry?

Speaker 26 (52:43):
A lot of people leave us dry, you know, and
the needles start coming off. I mean, it's kind of sad.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
So keep the water coming. Is it true that it's
good to put water in like a sugary soft dring
like sprite in there. I've heard that the sugar does help.
It helps the absorption and it helps, uh keep us
fresh for a little bit longer.

Speaker 3 (53:00):
How about this, Even Christmas trees are addicted to sugar.

Speaker 25 (53:04):
Terrible.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
See, this is what this is.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
This is what the show is about. Go to the source,
and we've been assuming how they feel. Why not just
ask them?

Speaker 3 (53:12):
Rick, Christmas tree, thank you for Kelly by today, to
you bet together?

Speaker 1 (55:47):
I'll tell you another funny one happened over the holidays.
We were out riding around and uh, well, were you
gonna tell it's because it's it's funny. It is really funny.
We're out riding around you and uh, they're happy for

(56:08):
you there, thank you. There's a party going on at
a house we're passing. I mean there's cars in the driveway,
cars in the road, people are getting out going to
the door, Betty says and announces to the kids. Look,
somebody's having a Christmas party. And everybody's dressed up like
it's the first Christmas.

Speaker 15 (56:25):
You know.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
They're all in their cover and their long wardrobes and
the head stuff. And as we went by, said Betty,
all those people appear to have a tan I don't
think that is a Christmas party.

Speaker 3 (56:37):
I think that is a Muslim family having to get together.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
Kids. They're dressed up. Like Benny had.

Speaker 3 (56:43):
Declared, it was a first Christmas Christmas party.

Speaker 1 (56:46):
And by the way, if you think about that's not
a bad idea. Has that ever been done?

Speaker 3 (56:51):
But it was so funny when I as I drove
by to go.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
No, I don't think so, Bettie. How about in her
ideas she thought it was as possible adults had come
up with that idea? It is are the whole families
from Guam? I don't know. It's just that I don't
the first Christmas. Oh look, why is everybody dressed like king?

Speaker 20 (57:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (57:11):
What is this?

Speaker 1 (57:12):
Look at it?

Speaker 5 (57:18):
Ricking Bubba, Ricking Bubba, Ricking Buback.

Speaker 22 (57:28):
Bubba pass degree that these.

Speaker 6 (57:32):
It is twenty five minutes until top of the hour.
You're listening to the Rick and Bubba Shows. Best of
I am Speedy, your host, and thankful for all of
you as we celebrate thirty one years of the Rick
and Bubba Show, looking back at all the historical moments
that you have requested and also excited about January sixth debut.
You have a new era with the Rick Burgess Show.
I'm go to Rick burgesshow dot com for more information.

(57:55):
Let's jump back into it. Lots of requests like this one.

Speaker 1 (57:57):
Oh my god, it's an animal story. It is an
animal story. Rick.

Speaker 3 (58:06):
This story comes from Rome, Italy. Of course, all roads
lead to Rome.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
Yeah, pretty much. A man who kept wild animals in
his home in southern Italy was found dead eaten by
a line. Oh gosh. Italian news reports say Sunday that
police said the man kept a line, tigers and a
panther in the basement of his house, as well as
many dogs and cats. Authorities say there are now investigating

(58:33):
if the fifty year old man was actually alive when
attacked by the line, or he died of natural causes
and after a few days in the cage, the animal,
with no food began to eat him. Oh my god,
there's got happy scenario. Reports say the man apparently did

(58:54):
not have the permits necessary to keep exotic animals as
house pets. Of course, just think if he had just
had a permit, this tragedy could have been avoided. No,
if he'd have had what we call freaking common sense,
this accent could have been avoided. Whin the whine, the whine,

(59:15):
the why again? Look look at it. Look if you
if you're new to the show, we have a statement
here on the show. Don't have pets that can take you?
I mean, do not have a pet that can kill you?
I mean, do you realize the big question here is
rather the line ate him fresh or after you'd been
there for a day or two.

Speaker 3 (59:35):
That is the big question that we all that we're
focusing on in this story, not.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
Why did you have lines and tigers in your basement? Right,
We're focusing on, you know, did he die and then
they ate him? Or did they just did they charge him?
Let me tell you this and this just I'm just
gonna I'm gonna throw this up from me. Who you know,
keep up with these documentaries? Uh, Lines are not big
on old food. They pretty much want to go when
the blood's hot, if you can just call it.

Speaker 3 (59:59):
They like a free fresh meal.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
They're not clean up. So that's at you, hyenas and
your voice. Yeah they And.

Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
Look they don't have good table manners either. They're rippers
pretty much.

Speaker 5 (01:00:09):
Oh gosh.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
Look they're just like house cats, but bigger, but but
a lot bigger, like instid. Their teeth you know, poking
in the finger. When they botch it, they cut through
your rib cake. That's the difference that I mean, that's basic,
the basic difference. I remember, if you ever seen how
a cat will play with its prey and and you

(01:00:30):
know it's a bird around, throw a little bounce around. Now,
some people would say torture, but we will stay clear
of that word. But I mean when they catch a mouse,
they don't they don't eat it right away. They'll play
with the hold another paul and they'll let it get
away and then catch it again, go pounce on it,
act like they don't see it, and run over and
get on it.

Speaker 19 (01:00:49):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
I mean they're really I mean they're nasty. Look if
you just call it, I mean they're they're awful little hunters.
It's not good.

Speaker 3 (01:00:55):
Oh yeah, and they get you wounded so you can't
run away, you know, and then they.

Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
Just play with you the which is pleasant.

Speaker 14 (01:01:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
The the animal kingdom, it's nastyill I think all you
know what, second only to New Hampshire politics. I know,
I love it too, these these animal people that think
the animals are just the world that if we could
just be more likeed animals. Yeah, we've discussed. We we
were that way once upon a time. Yeah, and then
we tried to civilize you know, you know what the
then we outlawed that kind of behavior.

Speaker 30 (01:01:22):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
You know what animals do when they you can't produce offspring,
or you get too old, you can't help help protect
the herd.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
You know what, they do eat you. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:30):
And if you're you're born that like the way you look,
they'll eat you then too.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
Oh. Look right out of the gate. You have to
pass a pretty strict taste or you don't make the cut.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
And if a new male line comes into the family
and the old one has been put out to die
a miserable death after everybody beat him up and fill
them out, yeah, uh, he comes in, looks around everything
that doesn't belong to him. Gone, yeah, okay, I mean
it's so No, maybe we shouldn't be more locked animals,
and you shouldn't.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
Keep them in your basement. Have you have you I
mean not not not not not lines and tigers in
your base Have you said, please don't forget the panther
that probably hid over behind the heap vent. Yeah, you
know when he was always back there in the dark
and you couldn't see him scept for his eyes and
got tired of being down there in the base. Yeah yeah,
uh rick. The line on these documentaries always amaze me

(01:02:14):
when they actually get up and start moving around, and
when they get serious and they put that tail up
in the air and it's got that little piece of
fur on the tail and it looks.

Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
Like a c b anten of with the ball on it,
you know what I mean. And that always just owns
me because you know it bounces as a walker. You know,
they're so proud.

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
Well, well, the male line, it's a vicious situation. He's
got it going on for a period of time.

Speaker 3 (01:02:36):
And when it's good, it's good. When it's bad, it's bad.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
But when the ladies decide that you can't keep up anymore,
they need a bigger, stronger mail, it is not good.
I mean, they turn on you.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
The other males beat you up because they've been waiting,
you know, they've been standing out there in the perimeter
till they see you where you get a little weak.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
They go, well, today I'm gonna get him. And somebody said, oh,
I'm with you, you know, and they and they take
over and then you know what, you do you wander
around aimlessly and die because you can't eat any more?
Do you think that the line he's always worried that
the word will get out that he's not what he
used to be, And he just goes, hey, I just
had a bad noight, I'm really.

Speaker 3 (01:03:06):
Still the king here, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
A couple of the ladies get complaining. He goes, no, no, no, no,
no no. This happens all the time. You ask so
AND's over on the east side of the joung. What
happened to him? And he's still king? Yeah, next day
was fine. I saw too. No, I don't overreact to you.
Don't you think he does that? Lets nobody overreact.

Speaker 3 (01:03:21):
Yeah, I've seen what happened, o leo, I'm not ready
to go yet.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
A similar situation came up on two kangaroos on an
explorer deal, you know, and one of the younger males
had wandered into the pack and he said, okay, you know,
I'm just about time that I I you know, see
if I can't go in and take over the alpha
male or whatever. And have you ever seen kangaroos fight?
They're not good. They lean back on their tail like
they're sitting there. They just kicking with all four.

Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
That's how that one does. Silvester the cat all the time.
He just kicks the Steve out of there.

Speaker 1 (01:03:51):
No, but what's so funny is it's just he's sitting
on his tail.

Speaker 3 (01:03:53):
Yeah, it's well, well their tailsitters, they an't do that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
Look the wild Kingdom, and you shouldn't take one into
your home. Never have a pet that can take you.
I mean I saw real footage, true interview talking to
mom and dad who kept leopards, lines tigers, okay, had them,
and you know what happened.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
One of them just playing with their son. Okay, this
was not one that was mad. This took his head off,
that bit him through the top of the head and
killed him. You know what they said, Well, you know not,
let's let's get rid of these animals. This this is
the wake up call. Well they couldn't have, but they
were just playing with him. At your boy, man, I mean,
I mean you shouldn't.

Speaker 1 (01:04:33):
Hell, it's it's all part of the you know, the
numbing down. We don't you know, nobody's life's important anymore.
It's just all part of the herd. I mean, if
your dog accidentally killed your kid. I mean, you'd get
rid of that dog right ho in a minute. I
mean and and but I mean we had we had
leopards outside and our son got killed. But it's nobody's fault.
It's all love. I mean, come on, no, he's fault.

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
It is yours. Look, one day the lamb and the
line lay together, but it ain't yet, and sooner, like.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
I'm looking forward to that day. Don't don't get me wrong,
but y'all it ain't time.

Speaker 3 (01:05:06):
Look, everybody ain't having me. Everybody hates my wake up call.

Speaker 1 (01:05:09):
And I love animals.

Speaker 3 (01:05:10):
Everybody hates it, I know, but it's true, Rick, It's true.

Speaker 1 (01:05:12):
I'm gonna tell you what you got. I got me
a line, I got a panther, and I've also got
me a tiger.

me a very nice, very black, sleek dominom pincher.

Speaker 3 (01:05:30):
Where you keep him.

Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
I tie him to a rope to a tree in
the front of the trailer because I love him and
he just loves it. Oh he's putting on it. He
just playing when he's trying to get away, and he's
foaming all to the mouth.

Speaker 15 (01:05:41):
He loves it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:42):

him right here in my old southeastern home.

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
Yeah, no, no, no don't. I don't keep him out
there in a nice desert. I keep him in a terrarium, okay,
And I got some plants in there and I feed
him green beans.

Speaker 1 (01:06:17):
And you know what he does. He lays on the
heat rock because if he gets off of it, he'll die.
I love animal.

Speaker 3 (01:06:23):
No that tanks about the size that I mean if
you picked him up, well, his tail touches.

Speaker 1 (01:06:27):
One end, yeah, and his nose touched the other. But
it's alright because I got the heat rock in there
that he won't come off of because he does the
tip gets too cold and he dies. Okay, and I
just love animals. I know, real hot days, he can
actually turned around Okay, yeah, yeah, he turned around one
lock August last year. Yeah, one summer. He moved off
of it for just a minute, and then their condition
got it too high and he jumped back on it.
Do two more. I love animals. That you got rid?

(01:06:49):

cat where you keep him at?

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
Well, he's just free roaming. But I tell you what
I do though, I keep in the house. And he said,
he said, first thing I did, so it'd be safer
and be around my family. I declawed it. He took
off his claws off where he can't climb anymore, or mutilated. Yeah,
so if he gets outside, the dogs will kill it.
That's why I keep him inside. Let him go with
the potty in a pile of sand, because I love animals.

Speaker 19 (01:07:22):
What I do?

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
I keep?

Speaker 5 (01:07:23):
What I do.

Speaker 1 (01:07:23):
First thing I did is clip his wings where he
can't get away because I love him. Yeah, you know
what I mean. Every now and then I'll let him out,
let him play with the kids, let him bank off
the mirror a couple of times. And then when when
I put him back in his cage, he loves, but
the cage is not enough. I also chain him to
the stand up stick. Okay. He's also got a chain
around his leg tied to his hard time, like he's
doing hard time because I love animals. He's prudy. Y'all

(01:07:45):
come see him. He can talk because we shout at
him and scream at him all day.

Speaker 7 (01:07:49):
Talk say something.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
I say hello, He's like man if I say hello,
don't let me out hello Hello. You know he tries
fs on my wings.

Speaker 9 (01:07:58):
They love me.

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
Here's you.

Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
I love animal. Now what it is we love and
there's nothing wrong with it. I'm even okay with it.
I just want everybody to hit me it. We love
to have animals. We don't love animals, we love to
have them. And there's the look that's so. I'm okay
with that. I just hate the hypocrisy of it. I mean,
you sit there and you got your dog tied to
a tree and you love him. I mean, I mean

(01:08:25):
he's tied to a tree. You put him in the
back of a truck because you think he wants to
go for a ride.

Speaker 3 (01:08:32):
And he's doing the two step on your silver too log.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
It's like, hey, y'all, y'all see look, hey, y'all, look
at Barney back here. He looks and he's running all
over the back of the truck. Oh my god. You
know why Stitch has head out the window.

Speaker 16 (01:08:43):
He's trying to get out.

Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
That's great. He sticks had up. He was trying to
get out of the car. We get so he gets
a little car. See look at it. You take him
when you go into the grocery store. Oh sure, because
I mean my dog wants to ride in the car
and go wherever I go. Really yeah? Yeah, that big
yard he had the hell he hated that big bowl
left and in the summer, I all cracked the window
where his brain won't fry before I get back in. Well,

(01:09:08):
look at him, he's saying hate to me. Know, he's
trying to live. You know, you know when you go
buy a car and dog's barkats, you know what that's about.

Speaker 9 (01:09:14):
Let us out.

Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
Let us out. I don't know why they threw us
in his car. We were having great time in the yard.

Speaker 9 (01:09:22):
You know, he loves to go.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
Come on, boy, you know why he jumps in the
car because he thinks you're leaving him again, you know,
And then he gets in there and thinks, where's the
food there? I thought, y'all speaking met, you're riding again.

Speaker 7 (01:09:34):
Look at him, he loves it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:34):
Look at let's put on the brakes. Wht you come
to the front bail.

Speaker 9 (01:09:37):
He loves it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:38):
May God, boy, he loves it. You know what. He
won't jump by that truck. You know why because he
knows it'll kill him. He's up there going, you know,
he's he smart enough to know that the truck's moving. Oh.
They love it hunting.

Speaker 31 (01:09:53):
They love ricking Bubba, Ricking Bubba, leaning on seven minutes
until top of the hour.

Speaker 15 (01:11:26):
Don't think you can't have fun with your kids even
when they get grown and get married. Or just wrong,
and I thought of these three stories to kind of
shed some light on it. Have had fun with my
kids since they're grown. You know, they're twenty seven, twenty
four years old. One married, one's not. But anyway, I
went to my son, called me. My son's got called
me and said, I'm buying a little garden home down

in Helena, and since she was in the construction business,
I want you to run down there after this afternoon.

and see if there's anything I need married to tell.

Speaker 5 (01:11:57):

(01:12:21):
the real estate woman called the next morning said we
can't close. Somebody has vandelize your house. And Scott said,

Don't you dare, miss Bubba. It is time to tell

(01:18:13):
a story that has been has been begged from us
for for years and I do mean years. It has
been a long time ago.

Speaker 3 (01:18:19):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
When this uh? When this, when this actually happened? The
the details we will we will leave sketchy uh to
protect to the innocent and uh and guilty. Well, but
with don want and Speedy going to Los Angeles, I
thought this was last time, Yes, a good time to
do it.

Speaker 25 (01:18:38):
Has this ever been told before?

Speaker 1 (01:18:39):
And there no, no, no, this first time uh never
had many many many years ago in a place very
far far away. Yes, Uh, we were involved in a
promotion that we were going to Los Angeles and we
were going to carry two listeners who were going to
be drawn via a random drawing. Now right there, right
there is the beginning of where this story goes. Right.

Speaker 2 (01:19:00):
Let me for all you aspiring radio people, sells people,
because you're involved in this, to our people on the air,
the term random drawing. Uh, if you're gonna place out boxes,
be careful where you place them.

Speaker 1 (01:19:13):
Yeah, Rick, you know there's nothing wrong. I mean different
people shop and do different type business at different places.
But when you have a have a box at a
title plum place where someone will actually give up their
car for twenty five dollars, yes, you have to worry
a little bit about what you're dealing with. Maybe maybe
if someone is going to go on a trip with

(01:19:34):
you and you're gonna spend time with them, Yeah, maybe
the people that will give up their whole car for
twenty five bucks is not compete. Need to check. But
well we we just a HNT. Yeah, would we begin,
We begin, and we have uh, yes, I always worth yes,
thanks we uh thank you for credit concting us with

(01:19:54):
changing that. We Uh, we have the drawing and we're
gonna call the winner and do a promo. Uh so,
you know, late on the air. And we called and
and we we call and we will say that the
young lady's name who won was Wanda, the one.

Speaker 3 (01:20:09):
We'll just say that it was Wanda. And I called
and I said, is this wonder?

Speaker 9 (01:20:14):
Yeah, this is Wonder.

Speaker 1 (01:20:17):
Now Wanda was a chain smoker, and uh, yes she was.
And and didn't I don't even I can't even do
the voice anymore. We we called, we called up and
she said yes, she said yeah, she said, yeah, this
is Wanda and uh, we said, we said, Wanda, this
is this is Rick and Bubba? What Rick? And who

(01:20:39):
said Rick and Bubba? Do you remember registring to win
a trip to Los Angeles?

Speaker 13 (01:20:43):
Hell?

Speaker 3 (01:20:44):
Yeah, you and I and I know right then, and
I'm thinking, hey, we're in trouble, and folks.

Speaker 1 (01:20:51):
That's the only word I will use, because she gave
us others that we cannot that we cannot use on
the ear. Well, she didn't believe us. So we go
through a flurry of words that sounded like we just
came off the troop ship.

Speaker 19 (01:21:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:21:07):
Uh, she doesn't believe us. We have to call her
back again to verify this.

Speaker 1 (01:21:11):
And then she begins to go nuts, and she is
screaming and running around the trailer, screaming to the top
of her lung. She is screaming tra keyword here, trailer
she was. She was screaming throughout to her home. Uh,
you know, I'm going to gd Los Angeles. Look, we're
not making We're not making any judgments about anybody or anything.

(01:21:31):
We're simply telling the story as it happened.

Speaker 2 (01:21:34):
Look, I have I lived in a manufactured home a
lot a long portion of my life, so I don't
think everybody lives in a manufactured home would be these
type of people. But I must tell you the term,
the term white trash comes to mind here.

Speaker 1 (01:21:47):
Rick. Uh we we we were somewhat in the panic
what we had gotten into. Yes, and uh as the
morning that we were leaving, we were going to the
Atlanta airport. They the limo picked me up first and
then we had to pick them up. And I knew
I knew those problems when the directions was last trailer
on the right. But we get there, we find the

(01:22:12):
trailer door swings open. I don't mean open and come out.
It comes open like a bomb has exploded.

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
Now, now, Baba, I think that we have left out
in the portant important part when she started telling us
who was gonna go with her it was a trip
for two. Well, please don't don't leave that because you're
about to talk about this guy. And uh, well she
she asked who who the friend that she could carry
could be and we said, will anybody? And we asked

(01:22:39):
if it was her husband that was gonna be going,
and she said.

Speaker 9 (01:22:42):
No, he's in the pin.

Speaker 1 (01:22:45):
She said, she said, can Willie go? And we care
my boyfriend Willie? And I said, I said, well, I said,
you know it's so, it's not just no.

Speaker 16 (01:22:54):
The old man's in the pin. I picked up by
the law.

Speaker 1 (01:23:01):
And I said, I said, well, are y'all divorced?

Speaker 9 (01:23:03):
No, he just can't go.

Speaker 1 (01:23:07):
Why So we get there, trailer door swings open and
out comes Wanda, suitcase in hand, on a full sprint
to the limo. Yes, as hard as you can go,
And then coming behind her and he looked like he
started on a full sprint. From way way in the
back of the trailer comes old Willie. Now I have

(01:23:30):
to tell you what Willy looks like. And I don't
know any other way to describe this. The well accepted
pictures of the way Jesus looks the long stringy hair
beard and go to uh and look that is where
the tie end ends. Okay, no where, nothing else but

(01:23:50):
topped off with one of those Richard Petty hats fan feather.
So basically you have Jesus with the Richard Petty care.

Speaker 3 (01:24:01):
Now, now, Willie, Willie, as he as he will tell us, Willy,
as he will tell us later, ain't never been nowhere, okay, nowhere.

Speaker 1 (01:24:11):
Willy comes running from the back of the trailer, and
he is so excited he doesn't stop to go down
the steps on the front porch. He does a full
hurdle over the rail. One problem, the last foot, the
last silver toe of his booth got home on the

(01:24:34):
rail as he tried to hurtle it, Willy cowboy hat
and all went end over in into a giant bush.
Now this did allow this did allow me to see
inside their home. Let's don't less this.

Speaker 3 (01:24:54):
Don't where now Now, Willie was a big outdoorsman.

Speaker 1 (01:24:57):
Because he ain't never been nowhere.

Speaker 9 (01:24:58):
And we know it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:00):
We know a lot of deer hunters that you know.
They keep a trophy, the head of a deer the
take harvest. Willy not only kept the head, he had
a whole deer stuff hoofs tailing off, standing in the
middle of his living room. His stuff, the whole deer
in the middle of the living room, just left of

(01:25:21):
the TV. Now Willy Willy picks himself up off the ground,
begins another full sprint toward dilemmo, locks it down like
a sideway slide into the limo like a skier would do,
and promptly announces, I ain't never been nowhere now. At

(01:25:44):
this time, his girlfriend Wanda begins to explain to Bubba
why Billy seems to be a little clumsy. Well, she
said he'd been drinking since four o'clock. To take the
edge off. This is about six in the morning. And
I said he's been drinking for two hours. She said, no,
for yesterday afternoon. All right. When we come back, Willie

(01:26:10):
and Wanda are in the limbo and Bubba is headed
to pick me up and we're headed to Atlanta to
catch the plane. The rest of the story, folks, it
only gets worse all ready, So so stand by the
story that we vowed to never tell.

Speaker 5 (01:26:29):
Ricking Bubba, Ricking Bubba.

Speaker 6 (01:26:47):
About twenty and a half minutes past the hour. It
is a Ricking Bubba Best of. I am speedy. We
thank you so much for being with us as we
look back on thirty one years and celebrate Ricking Bubba history. Also,
don't forget we're excited about twenty twenty five. January sixth,
we'll we debut the Rick and Rick Burgess Show. I
should say, hey, I knew I was gonna do that

(01:27:08):
Rick Burgess Show January sixth, and go to Rick burgesshow
dot com for more information. You know, we would sit
around here for the Willy and Wanda playing back is
what we're doing now. We'd sit back and just beg
them to say to tell us about the story during
lunch for years and finally it made it to air

(01:27:29):
and now we're replaying it here on the Best of
Rick and Bubba's Show. This is a segment two of
a four segment best of.

Speaker 1 (01:27:37):
Take a listen, Bubby, you'll be happy to know that
to end the break, talk to our council and they said,
just proceed with caution throughout the rest of the story,
so well as we pick it up. We have now
picked up Willy and Wanda in the limo. When I
give a quick sale called Rick to let him know, Hey, Hey,
we're in trouble.

Speaker 11 (01:27:54):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:27:55):
Willy is a sheet in the wind already he and
is still poor and it on still. Man, that's bad
when you might weigh one hundred and ten pounds soaking wet. Yes,
But so we get to Rick's and of course we
have lit up the cigarettes and I'm in a fog
about to choke. Yes, Rick gets in and Rick that's

(01:28:15):
where we begin our track to Atlanta, where we had
numerous stops so Billy could use the bathroom on the
side of the interstate. Yes, it was a lot of
fun to tell a limo driver of a very beautiful,
expensive limousine could you pull over where Willy could take
a whiiz Yep. Very impressive, And of course Willy a
lot of fun to ride through Atlanta, as he wanted
to show the International Sign for disgust to several of

(01:28:40):
the passing motorists right right out of the sun roof.
At various times in Atlanta, Willie, who ain't never been nowhere,
would give the people of Atlanta the bird. Now we're
right out on top of the limo. We were getting
very close to the Atlanta airport when Willy says, do
y'all think that will let me get on the airplane

(01:29:01):
with this? And he pulls what has to be the
longest pistol I have ever seen out of his gen sauce.

Speaker 15 (01:29:07):
Yes, he does.

Speaker 1 (01:29:08):
Hey, it looked like one of them joke kind that
the flag would come out of it for so long.
The pearl handled chrome finess you could buy very nice.
Shut and and and Rick and I are thinking to
ourselves right then that, uh, you know, Willie's not gonna
make it on the airplane because he's going to be
picked up by security.

Speaker 3 (01:29:26):
And here's where we were smart.

Speaker 1 (01:29:28):
We had built in a break just in case there
was a quag We booked the the people going with
us on a separate airplane. Yes, we do so, Rick
and I figure we're gonna get him to the terminal,
get them checked in. Hey, won't never see him again. Yeah,
I didn't want to build them over.

Speaker 19 (01:29:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:29:44):
Well I didn't want to be there. So I tell Willy,
I tell you what, Willy, take your pistol and and
head on out, but show it.

Speaker 3 (01:29:50):
To the guy there at the gate.

Speaker 1 (01:29:53):
Keep in mind, this is this is where Rick Burgess
gets totally disgusted and if you see it disgusted, Rick Burgess,
Dick had had time and time again just just put
it off, put it off. We these folks had won.
We were trying our best to be accommodated too. And
there's nothing better than than, you know, meeting listeners to
the show and you know, being able to share good

(01:30:13):
things with them and you know, fellowship with them. And
there's nothing worse than coming up on people like this, right. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:30:19):
And and these people, I think there needs to be
a portant side note here didn't know who we were.

Speaker 1 (01:30:24):
They just registered at the tile upon. Yeah, they they
had no idea. Now what's station y'all? All the giggles
that ain't never been nowhere? Yeah, And so I said,
I said to I said to Will, I said, look,
I'm just gonna tell you right now. I said, I'm
gonna kill you if you say one more, I said,

(01:30:44):
Ricky so put out.

Speaker 3 (01:30:45):
He told him this while he's holding the festival. I said,
I'm gonna take that.

Speaker 5 (01:30:49):
That.

Speaker 1 (01:30:50):
All we're gonna see is the pearl handle.

Speaker 3 (01:30:54):
You know, Rick comes to his load. He's had all
it can take.

Speaker 1 (01:30:57):
So I think to kill a content swinter who has
a good Yeah, anyway, so we are at the airport.
We drop them at their terminal and hey, we're off,
and we're laughing. We'll never see them again. Get on
the airplane, have a great flight to Los Angeles. Get there,
get taxi, go to the to the hotel that we're
staying at. We get there, and then, of course our

(01:31:19):
question is hated, WILLI and wand to make it? Yes,
so we go. We meet the manager from the hotel
and I mean, we don't even get the full sentence. Now,
sure did our and they go the people from Alabama,
the guy who looks like.

Speaker 3 (01:31:36):
Jesus wearing a rich repetdy hat.

Speaker 1 (01:31:40):
Yes he's here, Yes, and he appears to have scuffed
knees and dirty boots.

Speaker 12 (01:31:49):
And has an empty holster. Yeah yeah, that's Hill so wet,
that's him. And it appears to be walking rather funny.
Uh there there, So stay with us staff. So we

(01:32:16):
go to our second plan, and that is give them
their prize money and kiss them goodbye.

Speaker 1 (01:32:21):
I seriously, I even added to it. And and and
we called him over. I said, look, y'all, we finally
talked to him. I said, here, here, here is a
water money, y'all. Just knock you now now keep mint
in this contest. We're supposed to take them on tours
and stuff like that. We say, that's that's I forget it.
Forget it. I said, I'm buying you to just go away. Here,
here's a pilem honey, here's you playing tickets. Love you man.

(01:32:45):
And and we even see them later in the day
and and they're out eating at a restaurant and we think, hey,
this is working out there together. So we go out.
I forgot where we went to Universal Studios or something.
We come back and our phone is ringing, ringing. We're
up to that point, right, yeah, we're there. So I
pick up the phone to start with, and it is
Wanda going.

Speaker 16 (01:33:06):
Willy, this door upper plain, Dicky.

Speaker 3 (01:33:11):
That's exactly how sound, That's exactly how And.

Speaker 1 (01:33:15):
This is what I do. I go Rick, Rick, and
it's some crazy people.

Speaker 3 (01:33:21):
So I'll march up to the floor.

Speaker 2 (01:33:24):
They were on swing, open the door, sitting on the
edge of the bed, wearing his cowboy boots and box
your shorts live the cowboy hat still on.

Speaker 1 (01:33:34):
Willie. He says, I don't know what happened, man, she
just I can't say what. He says, Maybe some man
I tore him up to look as he's talking to me,
this is a very nice hotel. Okay. He gets up,
walks into a plush bathroom, reaches into ice they put
in this beautiful garden up and pulls a beer out.
They said, happened takes a top. So so this is

(01:34:04):
this is beyond right now, We're beyond the call of duty.
We've gone into full war mode. Now, I mean we
got face pain out. We say, all right, we'll get
you tickets replaced. We call the airline. We got them
replaced for the next day. At four am. We called
a cab, we called the wake up service. We were

(01:34:24):
shipping them out. We'd had it with them. We are
not dealing with these idiots anymore. Okay, they're not going
to run this trip for us. We We've done everything
we can to accommodate them, and all they have done
is screw it up. Yeah, and all their money's gone.
I said, what you spend all your money on? It
said beer like that that was even a I mean

(01:34:45):
there was even a discussion about what it would go to.
He looked at me like, I thought, that's beer money.
So we think we've got it settled. We've got their tickets.
We've got cab coming to them, call coming. So me
and Rick go back out to see the sights in Hollywood.
Well we come back again. The phone's ringing again, and
I'm thinking to myself, well, there's no way they've got
in any more trouble. I mean, we've think we've done everything.

(01:35:09):
I mean, they've done everything they can do.

Speaker 3 (01:35:11):
Pick up the phone, Bubba, if wander, we got a
problem up here, I said, wonder what's wrong?

Speaker 16 (01:35:22):
She's just Willy tried to kill me and the wall
coming in.

Speaker 1 (01:35:35):
We'll tell you what happened when we come back. Willy
tried to kill Love. No, no, Le'll be back with
the with the finish to this bizarre.

Speaker 6 (01:36:14):
It's twenty five minutes until top of the hour. Thank
you so much for tuning into the Rick and Bubba Show.
Best of enjoying looking back thirty one years of Rick
and Bubba history. Excited about what's coming January sixth as
well with the Rick Burgess Show. You can go to
Rick burgesshow dot com for more information. But right now,
we're in segment three of the classic Willie and Wanda

(01:36:35):
replay where they took some listeners to La and came
back to tell about it, and wild did they And
this has happened for years off air, and they finally
made it to air with this story, and it's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (01:36:50):
Take a listen. We just received our second call from Wanda.
There's no way to recap what's happening if you just
joined this story, bear with us. Yes, it's too detailed.
She screamed in the phone. H Willie tried to kill
me and the laws got him. We hustle upstairs. Yes,
we find when we get there, the manager of the hotel. Yes,

(01:37:10):
we find Wanda, who has been popped to the eye
a couple of times. It looks like unfortunately that is true. Uh,
she is soaking wet. Yes, and I immediately go Wanda,
what in the world has happened here? Now the hote
Let me, let me set the scene. The hotel room
is trash, trash, it is absolutely trashed, esus.

Speaker 16 (01:37:33):
Billy got mad. Willy got mad that many stuck my
head down in.

Speaker 1 (01:37:37):
A toilet and tried to drive me, which is a
terrible situation. Yeah, look, Grant, look, we're not making lot
of the violence of this situation, but you have to
understand what we had been through. I mean, this woman
is not to be blamed in any way, shape or form,
but let's face it, she's made some bad life decisions. Rick,

(01:37:59):
This is where the thing just gets absolutely bizarre. Yeah, okay,
like it ain't already. So she's sing wet from the toilet.
She apparently the scuffle broke out and and Willie tried
to drown her in the toilet.

Speaker 3 (01:38:13):
She escaped, look and babba seriously.

Speaker 2 (01:38:16):
To Willie's credit, he did remove the beer from the
toilet before sticking her head in.

Speaker 3 (01:38:20):
Yes, show up, she apparently everywhere.

Speaker 1 (01:38:23):
She apparently escapes, gets out of the hotel room and
runs down the hall screaming. A maid sees this. A
maid runs and calls police. Right now, this is in
a Los Angeles Okay, let me set the timetable here.
This is about one month after the O. J. Simpson

(01:38:45):
escapade down the interstate lost. The state of California, i
should say, had just passed a law about abusing your
significant other. Yes, okay, they don't play anymore and it
was a rather penalty for that. We ask where had
Willy gone. He had been taken to the La pen Yes,

(01:39:10):
we asked the manager what was going on. She explained
this new law to us. She said the like the
chief of police was a friend of hers. She had
talked to him on the phone and said that Willy
was going to jail for about twenty years. Now Wanda
at this point is just completely coming apart. She doesn't
want to testify against Willy and leave him in California

(01:39:33):
when this grand vacation at we're on comes to an
end and she wants him back now, yes, right now,
she is wanting him back. Keive n mind. Willie is
the boyfriend. Her husband's in jail. Yeah, her husband's already jail.
So the manager of the hotel explains to us, after
she has talked to the chief of police that it

(01:39:55):
doesn't matter what Wanda wants that Willy because of this
new law, because of the maid seeing him chase her
down the hall and threatening her, that's all they need.
It is a done deal. He ain't getting out. He
is going to stand trial in Los Angeles as a
test case for the new ojay law.

Speaker 2 (01:40:16):
Yes, now, keep in mind, folks, this is us on
a contest winner. We've taken to Los Angeles.

Speaker 1 (01:40:23):
Now at this point, we try to get one together together.
The best we can. Yes, once again we call and
get her airline tickets moved up even further so we
can ship her right on out. Yes, we make plans
again to have a cab pick her up. Her called early,
and then we had to call our boss at that
point and let him know that things were totally out

(01:40:45):
of control.

Speaker 2 (01:40:46):
Then comes the horrible call back to Master Control to say,
you know that little contest that we've been really promoting,
and that to Rick and bubar on right now, you
gonna love this?

Speaker 1 (01:40:55):
And we tell yes.

Speaker 3 (01:40:57):
I said, you know, we tell the whole story.

Speaker 1 (01:41:00):
And I told him, I said, well, the good news
is imagine the promo when we get back, if you will.
Rick and Bubba, Yes, they carried two people to California
and left one of them there. All expenses paid for
twenty years. Yes, yes, we just say listener to Los
Angeles for twenty years, all expenses paid.

Speaker 18 (01:41:21):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:41:22):
So so you know, we know now that our contest
winner is in the orange jump shoot and shackled, and is.

Speaker 1 (01:41:32):
In jail that jump orange jumpsuit and shackled. It's hard
to say we have verthday cake in your mouth.

Speaker 19 (01:41:37):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:41:38):
Now we are afraid that Willy is going to somehow
get out repercussion, come back in some kind of drunken
stupor and try to kill us all. Now that is
immediately what we're thinking. That's what you think about for
the next twenty four hours of the of the vacation.
We talked to the manager again. She talked to the
chief and said, I assure you don't worry. Willy's in

(01:41:58):
my jail now. I mean we're in talking La County,
La County jail, the same one, O jay z in
just a few just a few sails down. Yeah, I saying,
one doll want it. I'll be You had oj you
had Robert Downey Jr. And our contest winner. Now the

(01:42:21):
next morning comes, we get Wanda. We make sure that
Wanda has shipped out, and we verify that she is
on the plane heading back. Yeah, all you gonna send letters.
We had a great counseling. I said, girl, I said, girl,
you got. We tried to talk to her. I said,
you got to move on in your life. I said,
you got. You got to get these losers out of
your life. You know, we did the best we could

(01:42:42):
give from the circumstances. Well, she's gone, and Rick and
I have another two days to enjoy Los Angeles, and
we had a ball. We went to Universal Studios, we
went to see them tape General Hospital. Yep, we went
to this. We went to that. We had a great time,
and the running joke became very sick on our part. Hey,
what do you think Willy's doing right now? We just

(01:43:04):
you know, any time. And I wonder what they did
with the hat that was trumpled up the corner of
the hotel room. Yeah, I have to wonder. So in
the empty in the empty holster, empty under the now bubba.
Then it gets we finally get home and it gets
very bizarre.

Speaker 3 (01:43:19):
No, we're fixing the leaves. Our time is finally up.
We're on the airplane.

Speaker 1 (01:43:24):
The airplane is taxing down the runway, and we still
have this fear that some Los Angeles law yes, is
gonna get him out and they're gonna bring him to
the plane in an orange jumpsuit and shackles. Yes, now
you know. I mean, we're like scanning out the plane,
watch while it's loaded, looking for anything unmarked car to
pull up. Sure enough, they shut the plane up. We

(01:43:45):
tax it down the runway. The plane takes off and
I look across the isle at Rick and say, hey,
reckon what old Willy's doing right now? Yes, that is
so true. That is true, and we figure, well, well,
I'll never hear from Willy again. But Willy came back
and run is this now? Look I'm home. Some time later, yes,

(01:44:10):
I am approached by a member of law enforcement and says,
what do you know about Willy and said the last name,
And I said, well, now, of course, when we got back,
we were sworn to silence by our management at the time.
As a matter of fact, we were supposed to be
sworn to silence for life. I think, yes, of course,
here we are telling you, yes, right, well, but well look,

(01:44:32):
this story had to be told, folks. This is what
we go through behind the scenes sometimes that you don't realize,
and you wonder why we get a little legie.

Speaker 19 (01:44:38):
Yes, So.

Speaker 1 (01:44:42):
This guy wants to know the story, and I say, well,
I know part of it, and he says, I will
tell you my part if you will tell me yours,
because I know the story. After your part, I tell
him the exact same story you have been told. He said, well,
here's my part. Me and some other people that I
worked with. Was approached by Willie's family to go and

(01:45:05):
retrieve him from California. We called, got no answer, called,
got no answer. Finally, the district attorney in Los Angeles
agreed to meet us over dinner. We went, we had
to wine and dine him, and he agreed if we
would carry Willy to the plane as we suspected, in
an orange jumpsuit and shackles, that they would release him

(01:45:28):
to come back home, but if he ever even stepped
in California again, he would go immediately to jail for
twenty years.

Speaker 3 (01:45:36):
Gosh, they went out, this is our contest winner.

Speaker 1 (01:45:39):
They went out that they guide him and they brought
him back, and that I passed that story along to Rick.
We thought, well, we'll never never that was it, We'll
never hear anymore about Willy and Wanda. But it came
up again, very very soon when we come back the

(01:46:01):
conclusion to the story of will in Wonder and their
trip to Los Angeles with Rick and Bubba. If you're
out there right now and you may win a random
drawing from this program, you're thinking to yourself, will the
next story be about me? And what's your hope? Not
we've never been anywhere. Hopefully it won't be yes conclusion
right now.

Speaker 5 (01:46:22):
Not gonna Ricking Bubba Ricking Bubba.

Speaker 1 (01:46:36):
Segment. Thank you so much for tuning in. It's ten
minutes until top of the hour.

Speaker 6 (01:46:54):
You're enjoying the best of Rick and Bubba's show, and
we thank you so much for being with us.

Speaker 1 (01:46:58):
Don't forget the debut on January sixth. It's the Rick
Burgess Show and you can go to Rick burgesshow dot
com for more information. But right now, it's segment four
of the Willy and Wanda Story.

Speaker 2 (01:47:09):
We make our way back for the final segment, the
conclusion of the story that was never to be told,
and it has been.

Speaker 3 (01:47:17):
Told today, the tale of Willie and Wonder.

Speaker 1 (01:47:21):
We have a return home.

Speaker 2 (01:47:22):
You have been told by someone at very high in
law enforcement that they had retrieved Willie, yes behalf of
his father, from LA and we're bringing him back to Alabama.

Speaker 1 (01:47:34):
And that's where we are now, Rick, the story ends.
Just as a matter of fact, Christmas a year or
so back. It was the Christmas before Hunter was born. Yes,
I was all excited about being a dad and we
were having a little Christmas party at the house and
a gentleman was there who I didn't know before this party.

(01:47:57):
But we got to talking about in the big group
about a father's love and what a father will do
for a child, and you know what a great gift
that they are.

Speaker 3 (01:48:05):
And this guy says, hey, he says, I know a guy.

Speaker 1 (01:48:09):
You won't believe what he had to do for his son.
He had to fly out to Los Angeles and he
had to take the district attorney to dinner. He spent
about six hundred dollars on the meal just to get
his kid out of jail and bring him back here
to Alabama. And I perked up when I heard that story,

(01:48:30):
and I said, really, I said, his name wouldn't be Willie,
would it.

Speaker 3 (01:48:35):
He says, have you heard of that? I said, not
only did I hear it, I lived it, ma'am.

Speaker 9 (01:48:42):
I was the man.

Speaker 1 (01:48:44):
I said, but you know, it really ain't his fault.
You know why? And he said why, I said, cause
he ain't never been nowhere. And there's several there's several
side stories to this that will remain untold. We won't

(01:49:05):
tell what happened, right if you got back right, No,
none of that so that no, we can't tell me jail. No,
I just see, let's just say.

Speaker 3 (01:49:17):
I mean a lot of times you see a trend
in people, and sometimes I mean sometimes they make changes
for the better, and bless their heart, sometimes they head
right off down that uh very wide road.

Speaker 1 (01:49:29):
Is we're being told at the good book. Yeah, yeah,
some people uh just cannot get in line. So well
we'll but who knows, maybe today things are different for
we and y'all. You don't know how it has heard
us not to be able to tell you that for
I don't know how many years. A number of years
has been. There's been many days that I spent most
of the lunch hour begging, yes, begging for this, but

(01:49:51):
for this story to be told. That the one of
the side notes of the story that I that I
must tell because I think you all could relate to it.
The uh Willie Willie worked at a at a large
plant in the area, and and and it was so
large that it had its own weekly newspaper. And Willy

(01:50:13):
had showed us on on the way to the airport,
in between flipping birds out the window, and his his
picture proudly on the front page, and it said Willy
Win's trip to California. Now I can't I can't help
but imagine what his coworkers think when you know, they
came back and well Willy was never there again, and

(01:50:36):
they go, man, that must have been quite a trip
we got. Yeah to this day, they probably asked just
how long was she going to l a with ricking?
But what was that a permanent gig with the show?
It h it was, you know it was.

Speaker 2 (01:50:46):
It was a horrifighting trip and we survived at and
who knows what happened to I want.

Speaker 1 (01:50:52):
To know what they're doing, both of them were doing
right now.

Speaker 3 (01:50:55):
You know, we we have the same uh no, let's
not know, just left this thing.

Speaker 1 (01:51:01):
No, just for my own amusement, I just wish I
could look over and go to face let's face it on.
When you're watching the Friday of the thirteenth series, you go, gosh,
I hope he gets killed eventually, Yeah, if you really
don't want him to keep burning an analogy, folks, that
is that is one of the little behind the scene
things that we go through here at the Rick and
Bobba show. And there's there's other strange events that has

(01:51:22):
to be the dag gun weirdest.

Speaker 2 (01:51:23):
So yeah, well you know, and I now call my
wife and the break and so out. And when I'll
be home today, I'll probably in various meetings, one right
after another, because this story just could not stay down,
you know.

Speaker 6 (01:51:33):
It couldn't five minutes until top of the hour. Thank
you so much for tuning in. So there you go,
the Willy and Wanda story. Rick Roberts, comedian, was in
a while back and had a little song for us.
Take a listen, Rick tell us about this song called
get cameraon for just to it. It's called Sanna's in
a gym down in Birmingham.

Speaker 34 (01:51:51):
Right as we all have traveled at one point or
another through malfunction junction, Yes we have. One time I
was driving through and I just thought, well, what a senna?
What I got stuck in traffic? No every thinks about that.
You're right, sure, Sanna has a sleigh, but I think
he still has to travel our normal highways and byeways.

Speaker 1 (01:52:07):
Yeah, when it's not Christmas, right, sleighs are not straight
legal exactly exactly.

Speaker 34 (01:52:12):
He's got a low rider or what have you, right,
Or he's got some nice rims on his hooptie or
whatever he's cruising out there with, right, don't right? So
uh so this song started happening in my head, like
what happened if he got stuck in Birmingham. I thought, well,
maybe he'd have to call Rick and Bubba to save
christ Are we.

Speaker 1 (01:52:27):
Gonna try to do this live?

Speaker 15 (01:52:28):
Do you want to?

Speaker 19 (01:52:29):

Speaker 1 (01:52:43):
You wanna go with it right now? Yeah, let's just

say a man driving a float in the Anderson Christmas

(01:56:21):
Parade has been charged with drunk driving after he passed
another float, then sped down Main Street. Is in by
having flashbacks to the movie Animal House.

Speaker 19 (01:56:32):
Here.

Speaker 1 (01:56:33):
When officers caught up with forty two year old David
Allen Rodgers, he had an open container of alcohol in
the truck he used to haul the children and adults
on the float for a dance studio.

Speaker 15 (01:56:45):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (01:56:45):
Witnesses say Rogers was driving in line in Sunday's parade
when he pulled out to pass a tractor in his float.
Police say Rogers sped down Main Street, ran a red
light while a witness on the float called nine one
on a cell phone. Rogers, whose child was on the float,
faces more than three dozen charges, including dui kidnapping and

(01:57:09):
assaulting an officer. He will have a bond hearing on
the kidnapping charge later this week. Well, now he doesn't
go into detail why he has an assaulting the officer
charge here, I don't know where that's I bet I
can figure it out, probably when somebody finally caught up
with him. Now, please just come from the news nineteen
CBS website by the way in Columbia.

Speaker 2 (01:57:30):
Now y'all can't and once again, as we all know,
anytime you have a story like a forty two year
old man with an open container of alcohol, pulling afloat
and passing people in the parade. Uh, you immediately know
he's gonna go by three names. Now I don't know offense, sir,
but I mean you immediately know that's gonna be David
Allen Rodgers. Yep, because somebody said before it starts, said,

(01:57:52):
who y'all got driving y'alls float?

Speaker 1 (01:57:54):
We got David Allen Rodgers said, you say, David allel Ert.
I don't know about that. You know he's got a
you're gonna get David Allen. Oh, he's fine. I mean
it's in the middle of the afternoon in the parade.

Speaker 32 (01:58:03):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:58:03):
If you if you want to go to the house
and uh and enjoy your freedoms as an adult, I
understand that. But yeah, out in the Christmas parade and
you couldn't just leave it alone for a little while.

Speaker 3 (01:58:15):
That's a problem.

Speaker 15 (01:58:16):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (01:58:16):
Let me tell you that that's a problem right to me,
That that that open container of alcohol is now drinking you, sir.

Speaker 1 (01:58:22):
If you cannot have enough self control just not to
be drunk while pulling the float, that, by the way,
your kid on it. Yeah, and other kids and he
got hey, and now that the tractor was it was
David Allen was not happy. The tractor was moving a
little slow, and he pulls out, pulling afloat and passes it,
runs a red light and begins to go down through
the middle of town.

Speaker 3 (01:58:41):
I don't he a float he's pulling. Please don't lose eything.

Speaker 1 (01:58:44):
Any of you folks in Columbia, we all witness to
this because it sounds like a good one. Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:58:49):
It says he ran a red light.

Speaker 1 (01:58:50):
Now I assume that would not be one of the
red lights in the parade because everybody runs the red light.
He got off the parade route at some point, just
with the float and just I mean, did he just
declare I'm taking it to the house. Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:59:03):
Well, he's getting charged with kidnapping, which means they're going
to say he had people's children against their will, pulled
them through other parts of the town.

Speaker 3 (01:59:09):
What was it, David Allen?

Speaker 15 (01:59:10):
What was his name?

Speaker 3 (01:59:10):

is who's in charge of the Donkey?

Speaker 15 (02:04:07):
Now, let me tell you how I got really got
involved in going to church. And it was the best
thing that ever happened to me. I guess Mac and
Scott were playing Little League and Mac was on a
real good, uh eighty eighty five pound team seven eight
years old, about like y'all coach, not about the right.
He came home one night and said, Daddy, Mother, and Daddy,

(02:04:29):
I got to talk to y'all after we win. The
coach says a prayer, and he asked all the little
kids to say the prayer with him, the Lord's Prayer.
I don't. I don't know the words to that, and
I'm embarrassed. And I looked at my wife looked at
me and said we needed to go church. It doesn't

(02:04:53):
matter how you get there or what transpires to make
you want to go. The fact is that you started going.

Speaker 3 (02:04:59):
Amen, and men, on we.

Speaker 15 (02:05:01):
Went for twenty Yes I have. It's a few things,
a few things that have stopped me from doing that right,
But I could have been a good and my other
I always said, why don't you be a preacher, use
those talents for something besides Uh, you know.

Speaker 1 (02:05:17):
It's constant sin in your life. Kind of got in
a way.

Speaker 15 (02:05:19):
I guess it's tough.

Speaker 1 (02:05:23):
No, not one.

Speaker 3 (02:05:24):
None of us are worthy and no, not one.

Speaker 15 (02:05:26):
We went on and we went on and became and
became regular church folks at Westwood Baptist brother Cecil Sewuel.
Great church, great people, a lot of talent in the church.
They have very big extravaganzas when it comes to Easter
and Christmas. Now there's been people come from all over
to see them. We really really use our talents. Big

(02:05:48):
churches peace. I don't like a big church. Well, big
churches have a lot of people and they can do
things sometime a little church can't do.

Speaker 5 (02:05:56):
Uh.

Speaker 15 (02:05:57):
My first time there, I was eager to help, and
they wanted to know if I wanted to be Judas.
And I said, who's Judas? They said, he's one of
the disciples. I said, my first year here, I'm gonna
be a disciple. Uh got home told uh. I told
my wife about it on the way home from church,

(02:06:18):
and right and remember writing front the funeral home there
on the old highway. She said, do you know who
Judas is? I said, yeah, he was one of the disciples, Mark, Matthew, Peter, Mark,
John and Bobby and Sissy. No, that's a Brady bunch.
But anyway, I named, I reeled off, we have the
money money, Well yeah, and I thought, hey, disciple, first

(02:06:43):
year here. Little did I know that nobody wanted to
be Judas and I could find out. And Mark said,
why don't you go home read the Bible. Well I
went to the back and took the Bible and looked
up Judas in that index and flipped over there, and
immediately I saw wine. Yes, nobody want to play.

Speaker 1 (02:06:59):
It's not a pop the roll and the Christmas can talk.

Speaker 15 (02:07:01):
No, I did it. I walked in with the soldiers
and pointed and said, there he is, right there, that's him.

Speaker 1 (02:07:08):
That was my big line. There he is.

Speaker 15 (02:07:11):
And they took him away, lashed him and hung him
on a cross.

Speaker 1 (02:07:14):
Yes, And after the.

Speaker 15 (02:07:16):
Show, everybody in the lobby gathered up signing autographs. The
Shepherds sheep herders, the wise men.

Speaker 1 (02:07:25):
See, I went through the whole story.

Speaker 15 (02:07:26):
Even who was the king that didn't.

Speaker 1 (02:07:29):
Want to do Herod? You mean pilot?

Speaker 15 (02:07:31):
Pilot didn't he said, I washed my hands of this.
But if y'all want to be out, even Pilot was getting.

Speaker 1 (02:07:36):
Some pontious pilot. So few people even wanted to meeting.
I personally played him.

Speaker 15 (02:07:39):
But a little kid, and I won't name him. He
I saw him not too long ago.

Speaker 1 (02:07:44):
He's twenty one years.

Speaker 15 (02:07:45):
Old now, came up and kicked me in the shen
and said to Mickey Dean, I don't ever want to
I don't ever anything to do with you again. Little
kids turned on me. They thought I was really Judas.
I turned him in. That's how good a job I did.
I wonder if de Niro has it, you know, if
people really think he's the Raging Bull or two. But
for everywhere I went for a year, it was a mother, mother,

(02:08:09):
there's that guy that turned Jesus in in the middle
of the movie gallery.

Speaker 9 (02:08:14):
Mother.

Speaker 15 (02:08:15):
There he is that Judas guy. That's Mickey Dean.

Speaker 1 (02:08:17):
No, it's not.

Speaker 15 (02:08:19):
Next year, I volunteered again. Could I work on the sets?
I'm pretty good with my hands. I don't want to
be in front of this. I don't want to be
in the pageant, but I want to do anything that
I can do to help. And they said, well, we've
got just a job for you. We are always having
a hard time getting somebody to do this, and if
you're willing to do it, I said, as long as
I don't have to be Judas and have be on

(02:08:41):
the spotlight. Right, we need somebody to take care of
the donkey, the donkey that Jesus rides in down the aisle. Okay,
you go get you get a trailer. You go up
to this guy's backyard, fenced in backyard. You get the donkey,
You put him in the trailer. You take him to church.
Now we did seven nights. Okay, little donkey, keep him

(02:09:03):
in the trailer till we need him. Pull him into
the lobby. Jesus gets on his back, I lead him down.
They lead him down the aisle. I'm waiting in the
bast in the choir loft behind, and I take him
right out back up on the little trailer. Okay.

Speaker 1 (02:09:16):
Sounds like a smooth operation.

Speaker 15 (02:09:18):
Smooth operation. Move your work with donkey. No donkey's are
very unpredictable. Donkey's a lot like uh some people. I
was gonna say women, but I'm glad it didn't. Some
people they're different. You know, one day the donkey would
wanted to be he was into it. You know, it's
really a pair of sunglasses on you ind of this roll.

(02:09:39):
The next night he wasn't. But I found out to
keep them from making and I nicknamed them donkey. Margaret
didn't know what Margaret in the trailer would calm down
if I gave Margaret a malted milk ball. Do you
know the malted milk balls in the and the looks

(02:10:01):
like milk carton.

Speaker 1 (02:10:04):
Chocolate beaver.

Speaker 15 (02:10:05):
They got a name whoppers, Oh, and the donkey. Every
night when the donkey, I would give the donkey one.
Now you do this with animals. When the donkey did
good and went down and didn't bunk Jesus.

Speaker 9 (02:10:20):
Off, and.

Speaker 1 (02:10:23):
You gave him, you rewarded he came back out.

Speaker 15 (02:10:26):
I had a milk ball ready, and he about the
third or fourth night he called on, give me my
milk ball. I'll go down and I'll do it, and
I'll come around and I'll and and and and then
I'll get another one. So he did, and he'd load
right up and I'd take him back no problem. So
I've got the whoppers in the trunk of the car
in the truck that I'm pulling with, and I gave

(02:10:47):
him his whopper that that night. And then a guy
came up that played Jesus. John Hosmer did a great job.
He went up through the ceiling seven nights in a
row with out of its cable on a cable seventy
feet right out through the cein and never complain. He
comes up and starts talking to me, complaining about the

(02:11:09):
donkey had one time stepped on his foot and stuff
like that. I said, I'm doing the best I can
with a donkey. But while I did, I set the
malted milk ball box down on the fender of the trailer,
and Margaret proceeded to reach and got get the whole
thing a bolted milk balls like a half a pound. Now,

(02:11:31):
I don't know if you know what. Malted milk balls
are notorious for doing animals dogs. Anybody with dogs, No,
you give them a little Hershey bar, you pay for it.
After about an hour, it gives them quite a lot
of gastric problems. Lower track I'm talking about way low.
I'm talking about right out on the end of the

(02:11:53):
track at the bottom, ready to go. I said, Lord,
he's eate a whole half a pound a mounted milk balls.
Maybe we can get him in there and get him
out before it really starts to work on him. Obviously,
a donkey's intestinal track, its s like a miner bird

(02:12:13):
right through.

Speaker 3 (02:12:15):
How did it go?

Speaker 1 (02:12:15):
Nick?

Speaker 15 (02:12:17):
Right through? John hobsber mounts Margaret in the vestibule, side saddle,
we go down. Kids are down there with palm leaves.
He's coming into set the scene.

Speaker 3 (02:12:31):
He is coming into the great Palm Suny Palm Sunday.

Speaker 15 (02:12:35):
And they're waving and everything.

Speaker 19 (02:12:37):
You know.

Speaker 15 (02:12:38):
The donkey gets up there and he dismounts, and I
start to tug on the donkey, and the donkey don't
want to come, and I have a little switch and
we just kind of and he kind of tapped him
with a switch, and when I did, the donkey opened
forth the blessings of the mounted milk balls and cleared own.

Speaker 1 (02:13:00):
Are you calling dead sea here?

Speaker 15 (02:13:03):
Well, let me tell you something. You know, when the
Lord run the money changers and all out of the temple,
the donkey did a lot better job was it was?

Speaker 14 (02:13:12):
It was?

Speaker 15 (02:13:12):
It was a green cloud that to this day, to
this day, Brother Suell says he can smell it from
the pulpit. Have you ever been around a donkey? Didn't
been eating malta minuer?

Speaker 1 (02:13:24):
I have it, but I can imagine, imagine did it
even make Jesus frown?

Speaker 15 (02:13:32):
Jesus backed up, delivered a lot of his lines from
over on the Mount. He had already finished Sermon on
the Mount.

Speaker 3 (02:13:39):
But historically the Jerusalem did not go over that hill. No,
if you've ever react what it did.

Speaker 15 (02:13:47):
The choir singing sort of like that, Yes, Jesus, It's coming.

Speaker 6 (02:14:01):
Nobody tells a story like internationally known comedian Mickey Dean.

Speaker 1 (02:14:04):
God rest his soul. He was a funny, funny.

Speaker 6 (02:14:07):

great best of moments like this one.

Speaker 3 (02:27:58):
Take a listen to the program. I'm Wanda, but how
are you?

Speaker 29 (02:28:01):
Good time? Monkey Grass?

Speaker 3 (02:28:03):
Thank you for calling.

Speaker 1 (02:28:03):
I appreciate that I listened to y'all every morning.

Speaker 29 (02:28:06):
This is the first time I'm on the air. But
I had a question. Okay, is it per se the
man or at hunting and shopping, which my husband is out.

Speaker 1 (02:28:15):
He won't shop, he shouldn't.

Speaker 27 (02:28:18):
H Is it his deal?

Speaker 29 (02:28:19):
Do you help your wives with the Christmas lights or
help decorate the tree? I just I just want to
know is that my responsibility? Are they supposed to help
or is that just one of those things that is automatic?
You know the mom does? And forget it And I'm
going to turn off and listen to you.

Speaker 13 (02:28:36):
Reponts.

Speaker 29 (02:28:36):
I enjoy your show, and God bless shall ill have
both your families have a wonderful Mary Christmas.

Speaker 2 (02:28:41):
You too, wander now here's wanted to listen. Here's the
deal at our house? And Bubba, I thank you. You
and I have talked about this. I think we're similar.
I love Christmas decorations. Yeah, I love looking at them.
I love looking at the tree. I love looking at
the lights. But I'm going to tell you some of
this what some people call me bad Christmas person. I

(02:29:01):
don't give a rip how they get up. I just
want to look at them. And I like hiring other
people to come in and set up the stuff. Now,
this year, Sherry made what I feel like a huge error,
and we had a little bit of a spot about it.
She started thinking that that was not being good family
Christmas people, and she said, we need to do this
stuff and put it up. Now, me being the person, see,

(02:29:23):
I don't think there's any Christmas joy and mom and
dad fighting about the tree. I don't think there's any
joy about these lights don't work. Can I tell you this,
And you're gonna hate this because this is really bad.
It's gonna make When I was a little kid, I
hated decorating the tree. We'll say I loved it when
I was look at I wanted the tree to be
up and look at it.

Speaker 1 (02:29:42):
But I knew that Mom and they were gonna fight.
You know that that somebody was gonna drop something and
break it. Mama's gonna get a ell with Dad and
all this. Look, let's just get the stuff up. I
don't care.

Speaker 3 (02:29:53):
To me, the process of putting it up is no
joy to me.

Speaker 1 (02:29:56):
I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (02:29:57):
I don't want I don't want anything to do with it.
And and I'd rather everybody, everybody come up and go
look at the trees are up. You know, everything looks beautiful.
And now when we can sit here and stare at it,
I love like you're talking about sitting with the kids,
looking at the tree, sitting with Sheery and snuggling up
by the tree. But putting that stuff up is a
nightmare to me, and I absolutely hate it. I don't

(02:30:19):
think there's anything wrong with the dad helping. It's gonna
go bad, though it does usually provide conflict. Betty has
got so she likes to do it when I'm not there.
I love that, and see I like watching it done.
I just still want to be part of it now.

Speaker 1 (02:30:33):
I'd rather have the music on, watching everybody decorate from
my big comfortable recliner. I want to go away and
come back and they're up. Well, Betty, Betty has done it.
And you know, Betty caught some grief. I don't know
if if somebody had emailed her or what, but I
mentioned she puts five Christmas trees up just because she's

(02:30:53):
full of the Christmas spirit, and like somebody emailed her
and talked or something. Yeah, but you know, I guess
it's your James, you're rich or something putting up. I
don't know what it was, but she was very sensitive
to that fact. Now, she said, don't say anything about
me putting five trees up because people think it's a
noxious or something. I said, I think it's Christmasy. Plus
it's the same five trees you've had for like ten years,

(02:31:14):
so what's the big deal.

Speaker 2 (02:31:15):
We went from three down to two this year. We
got Snowman tree, which is nothing but snowman stuff, which
I love. And then we got the classic, the one
that I love. To go into the room you never
used and there's a tree by the one sitting in
the window to go look at that. This brings me
so much joy I can't even But here's the problem.
One thing I found out y'all got there's an error
on pre lit trees. Because you know, I'm a huge

(02:31:35):
fan of artificial pre lit that's what I want. But
let me tell you something that somebody don't watch the
video tape before you put them up for the year,
because there's a very important thing we didn't watch on
the video tape. The way there's shipped to you is
not the way you put them up, which doesn't make
any sense to me. Put we put the two up

(02:31:55):
and half the lights don't work now because I got
crumped up and shorted out. So you open up this
pre lit tree and only about half.

Speaker 5 (02:32:02):
The lots for it.

Speaker 1 (02:32:03):
Oh no, so that's the bad thing about a pre
lit tree. How about this lot bubs in general are
not lasting like they should.

Speaker 35 (02:32:09):
No, they're not.

Speaker 1 (02:32:10):
I mean, it isn't an all time low for sorry
sorry lot bub light bubs and the Christmas lights are
the worst.

Speaker 2 (02:32:19):
So so we got into a little bit and see,
and then my hunting trip was getting in jeopardy because
the trees weren't going up smoothly because of that. See,
I thought it was a simple I'll put them up,
you decorate them while we're gone, right, because my kids
don't give a rip but decorating the tree. I mean,
you know, they're like me. They want to see it,
they want to love it. If they start decorating, they're
gonna break stuff, you know what I mean. Let's get
it up and let's look at it. We got a

(02:32:39):
baby this year now that's up and moving around, and
you know he's already over there. You know, when you
hear this, you got to get him ball, which says
that you better go get him because he's got he's
got him a ball, you.

Speaker 19 (02:32:50):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (02:32:51):
And here come walking with a big red ball ball.
Don't throw that don't throw that one. I don't throw
that one to daddy. And but so Snowman tree is
pretty much up except big know where that goes on
the top. The big tree in the room that you
never go in is sitting there bear right now because
half the lights don't work. So and see that's the thing.
See to me, you know, it's all about let's just

(02:33:12):
get them up and it all look pretty. The process
of getting them up, to me, is not part of
the joy.

Speaker 19 (02:33:15):
I know.

Speaker 3 (02:33:16):
A lot of you are different.

Speaker 2 (02:33:16):
A lot of you like to put the Christmas carols
on and the whole house starts getting decorated, and everybody decorates.

Speaker 1 (02:33:21):
And that's fine.

Speaker 3 (02:33:22):
If your family operates good in that, then you enjoy that.

Speaker 2 (02:33:24):
My family, even growing up, and now, we don't operate
good under the process of them going up. Now, once
they're up, you won't find anybody more joyful than the burgesses.
But the process of them going up is always bad.

Speaker 1 (02:33:36):
Getting over that hunk. So I really prefer to make
a call, here's our stuff, here's how we like it.
I'm gonna go away, and then when I come back,
I walk into Sata's workshop and everything's up and lights
are glittering and music is playing and pumpkin pies are cooking,
and I can't bet.

Speaker 15 (02:33:53):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (02:33:54):
And then then my favorite thing is right.

Speaker 2 (02:33:57):
At the end of every day when the Christmas trees
are on and all the lights are off, and you
just sit there and stare at and you just look
at it.

Speaker 14 (02:34:04):
Oh, Christmas tree, Christmas tree. Hi, lovely eye, die artificial branches.
Your pre lights didn't work this year, shooters. Watch the
video tape for I stuffed in a bog.

Speaker 5 (02:34:18):
Ricking Bubba, ricking Bubba.

Speaker 22 (02:34:54):
Ringing, buther freaking Bubba pass the grave. It leave drinking
Bubba freaking no.

Speaker 1 (02:35:00):
It brings me to night.

Speaker 6 (02:35:01):
Thank you so much for tuning in now six minutes
past the I where it's the best of Ricking Bubba's show,
and we're honored that you would be with us as
we look back at thirty one years of history with
Rick and Baba Man, the the emails and the text
and the request.

Speaker 1 (02:35:16):
That are coming in. Thank you so much.

Speaker 6 (02:35:18):
Don't forget though. January the sixth, the Rick Burgess Show debuts.
Go to Rick Burgess Show dot com for more information.

Speaker 1 (02:35:24):
Here's a classic there. There's a way to put a
positive spin on it. You know, I don't know if
you remember, but I'm gonna take you on a little
technical journey down that year. Do you remember we were
rebroadcasting Wax off of our record tuner, Yes, to get
snow updates. Yes, I remember that, and that's why it
was not on the Best nine six. That's a good

(02:35:45):
name by Joanna Dana, by Joyn o Jock. There she
goes back to class to that other girl that you're out. Yeah,
so just for the few divisions of that, it's just Bill.
I would prefer not to relive us pulling our boss's car,
you know, and wrecking it. I'd rather not relive the rick.
It was a very honest mistake. I thought I could
pull it up that icy hill. I had pulled people

(02:36:07):
out for two days. Well, I will probably should have
just let it go. Well that's where me being stupid,
you know, and technically are handy, but yet common sense
was screaming at me, right, and I wouldn't speak up?
You know what I should?

Speaker 3 (02:36:21):
I should have spoke up because probably just.

Speaker 1 (02:36:23):
Me bringing it up would have made you kick in
and go where that is? You have a point here, right,
do you think? Well? I would have probably said, Hey,
I pulled people out all week and this little Honda,
we'll see my common sense mine set four tires on
ice going uphill. You know, it just doesn't seem like
it should work, you know, and you know what it does.

Speaker 3 (02:36:43):
The speed that we all went back down the hill
was what was the most tom Well, as we said
on the on the show time and time again, probably
one of the lowest moments in my life is when
your chaerir key began to slide back down the hill
right when we passed Mark and and and the look
on his face realized right before the chain jerked tight

(02:37:04):
to drag him, look to the bottom of the hill,
The look on his face realizing that his chained to
this sliding passion.

Speaker 1 (02:37:11):
He needed that disengage button.

Speaker 15 (02:37:13):
Rick.

Speaker 3 (02:37:14):
There was no time to get up under there, and
they just went.

Speaker 19 (02:37:19):
It was it was.

Speaker 5 (02:37:20):
It was bad.

Speaker 1 (02:37:21):
You remember how mad he You know why we did that?
So you know why we insisted on doing it when
it had it would have thought out by lunch. Yeah,
but we insisted on doing it because we were going
to pick Mark up, bring him to the station. He
went out and sub zero weather and we rose to death.
We did not know where he lived at we thought
we did. We couldn't find him, so we thought he

(02:37:43):
went back to bed. But the truth of the matter
is he actually froze to the ground where he was waiting.
I met, I met.

Speaker 2 (02:37:50):
I met a woman at one of our remotes. She
said her husband, that is the first day they had
ever heard the show. They just moved here and then
they need to crash listening to his tailor. And the
thing that makes that story so precious is the fact
that that's the part everybody leaves out. We had already
left him out in the cold that morning. We're trying
to make good on Rick.

Speaker 1 (02:38:08):
We had left him out in the cold to the
point that we got here and thought, well, he just
wasn't He didn't get up, and we got a very
nasty phone call that was a hang up, and he
hung up on it. He called us, chewed us out
and hung up on us. Yea and uh, And I
felt very bad.

Speaker 3 (02:38:24):
I couldn't you know, if you if you you know,
when I I don't anybody be mad, and when they're mad, I.

Speaker 1 (02:38:29):
Feel So we made it turned the show for me. Yeah,
we came up with that great the great idea that
we were gonna go. We were saving save face by
pulling him out because his car had been stuck for
a day or two in the ditch. Then we mashed
it right now, mashed it up bad. And it's little,
his little body, you know, it's a little video thing
and his little body just bouncing around that thing. When
you know, I want to be absolutely clear that when

(02:38:51):
we slung him like a slingshot into that other truck
that was parked on the side of the street, the
truck was already in the ditch. Car did not push
it in the deck, although that man did not believe
that story, No he did. The only damage it did
was that Alabama National Championship tag went about thirty foot
in the air and when it hit it, but we
laid it on the windshield. I probably thought that was

(02:39:12):
a very nice thing. The thing that that that hurts
the most is that, you know, it didn't fully knock off,
but from it hitting up against the fence from the head,
it actually chipped the Bear three fifteen that was on
the back. Yeah, but I didn't break it. No, it
didn't rick. And the back tires of that truck was
already hanging in the deck. Yeah, because that little Honda
couldn't have moved that big, big truck around, so that

(02:39:35):
not only did we tear it march car, but we
had to pay that truck too. Well. The you know,
I just the the sling of that car. I mean,
we didn't just slide down the hill. We slung it
like you would sling a what's in thing?

Speaker 19 (02:39:48):
You know?

Speaker 1 (02:39:48):
Let me give a perfect example, like, David, you know
what was that?

Speaker 3 (02:39:52):
If you're out there, how.

Speaker 1 (02:39:53):
Many people in the studios right now have every water
ski or see someone do it Innyview? Yeah, like when
the boat stops and the skier heads towards the bank,
or if you turned the boat and you slung. Yeah,
that's how I was slung. You know it probably if
you really looked at it from us sliding like at
a mile an hour, he might have been up to
eight or nine what he slung by judging by the

(02:40:13):
way his head jarred when it hit the little body
jer yeah, and kind of bounced up and down. I
would Yeah, that was a big because I've never asked
you this question, and I'd like to ask you today
up because you were driving trying to save us. Yeah, Rick,
I was doing all I could and I thought I
had pulled it off.

Speaker 3 (02:40:29):
You thought you had it.

Speaker 1 (02:40:30):
When I let go of the break, I wasn't sliding anymore,
but I just didn't make enough clearance to allow for
that chain in that car behind.

Speaker 3 (02:40:37):
Yeah, that you saved us. My truck came out without
a scratch.

Speaker 1 (02:40:41):
What I want to ask you is because I was passenger,
so so so since so since so since so, I
immediately looked to the review mirror to see what the
final deed was gonna be. I was looking in the
side and you had so you did see him here? Thing.
I saw his head vibrate to a shot little. It
looked like somebody who could do a good robot, you
know what I mean. Hit. He hit that truck and

(02:41:05):
Rick is the the thing I remember about that particular
day the most is the moment after it happened. I
just put my head down on the on the stairs
wheel because I thought after the call we'd had earlier
that well, I was trying to figure out which insurance
company I was gonna apply with, and uh, and I
we're beginning to wonder where we'd be working, you know,
and what David account I'd have thought, well, coaching, you know,

(02:41:26):
at that time, I know there's gonna fire my dad.
I thought i'd go to him see if I could.
Rick is, has you know how well? Please long enough?
Am I am?

Speaker 3 (02:41:38):
I going in the dog pen here.

Speaker 1 (02:41:40):
We're both in the dog pen. But I just want
to be honest about it. But you're not losing me
further in Rick is starting this. You know how when
you see something funny in church and preacher is going on,
you can't laugh and starting yeah, if somebody break whens
next to you want the preachers up there.

Speaker 3 (02:41:55):
This is exactly how that you.

Speaker 1 (02:41:56):
Are absolutely trying to hold in an explosion of laughter. Yes,
I was, and I have got my head on steering wheel.
I said, Rick, shut up? Do not I say one?
I couldn't have heard. I was hurt. And then I
had to end my best, best change of face I
could do, get out and go here you okay? And

(02:42:17):
because I was concerned, well, Bill got out and I
stayed in the truck because the best I was leaking
air very very hard. I said, I can't get out there.
I think I'll be I'll just get us in worse,
you know. And and when Mark stepped out of that
car and you know of course, shook yourself and gathered
himself and right and got the paint chips off yet Yeah,
and actually had to crawl out the other side because

(02:42:37):
the one door was smashed beyond recognition. But I remember
his his his his first words, Well, I guess that
wasn't a real good idea? Was Yes, can I say something?
He took him so well, Rob Rosson, sales manager Now
in the studio, Rick, we talked about this yesterday in
the ready Marky Mark brought it up. Well, I don't
know how it came up, but we were talking about it.

(02:42:58):
I really got him with really cracked him up when
I tell him about how y'all y'all can't that? To me?
What was so funny was I was not there, yea.
And so when y'all came back to the radio station. Yes,
I mean y'all come walking down the hall, like the
three of me goes just side by side, taking up
the whole hall, and y'all just so happy.

Speaker 3 (02:43:14):
I mean, it's like nothing ever happened.

Speaker 14 (02:43:16):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:43:17):
Of course the disaster had happened about forty five minutes ago.
We were just so glad Mark didn't fire us. You
know what I meant right on the spot.

Speaker 3 (02:43:24):
Yeah, at that point I realized that, hey, there's going
to be at least a little sense of him or
in this.

Speaker 1 (02:43:28):
Yeah, because he gave him credit. He laughed it off. Yes,
he did very well, and I appreciate you after Secretly
I think wishing's dead. But I mean, I'll be honest
that the phone call was a lot worse that morning,
Yeah than that. So I think at that point he
realized himself that, yeah, how much quip while we're behind
You know, that had to come to mind because he

(02:43:49):
had to think in his mind, Hey, I hope my
eyes don't burn down, you know what I mean. He
had to think that absolutely time.

not doing expressos. I'm in back getting the scolds. You

and get a cup of coffee to stand in line
for their coffee. You know what they should do in
their coffee line, They should sell coffee.

Speaker 7 (02:47:01):
They'd make a fortune.

Speaker 18 (02:47:04):
Somebody once asked me how come Starbucks doesn't sell food?
Can you imagine how long it would take spaghettian meatballs?

Speaker 7 (02:47:13):
Five days?

Speaker 18 (02:47:17):
They would find people dead of starvation with the receipt
in their hand.

Speaker 9 (02:47:22):

These coffee shops. My wife's a coffee fanatic. These coffee shops.
For people to be so high on caffeine, Why are

those precarious wreaths. He had one feet is around with
his billy sickly dad back like a bowl for the
jello jelly. Don't jell, William.

Speaker 19 (03:01:18):
He was chubby and.

Speaker 11 (03:01:19):

Speaker 11 (03:01:30):
Bump. That's like racking Baba saying nothing there funny. And
then I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.
How could you not laugh at this guy? He's got
one or two set of clothes. He never shaves, he
never dugs in his shirt. He goes to everyone else's
house and eats milk and cookies but his own, and
he works one night a year.

Speaker 38 (03:01:51):
I feared it out, Santa Claus, this Cassie, old kid,
puss to his head.

Speaker 3 (03:03:08):
Too much, too much poem, too much for he let

Speaker 1 (03:05:07):
I had the weirdest thing happened to me, and it
was it was extremely embarrassing.

Speaker 3 (03:05:11):
What happened?

Speaker 2 (03:05:11):
Man, Well, according to my wife, it was not not
as embarrassing as she thought it should have been. She
thought I should have She that I should have cared
more than I really did. I was at the house
and Sheary and I have not been on a date
and I don't know when, you know, with our schedules
and all this and little League and blah blah blah.
So we we had deemed that that we're this weekend,
we're going to go on a date. So and we

(03:05:32):
knew we were all pretty tired on Friday. Going on
friday's bad because you're tired and you're sleepy. You really
better to go on Saturday. But we said, well, well
we'll see, we'll go ahead and go and and well
we'll go on Friday.

Speaker 1 (03:05:43):
So I was at home in this Terry Bowden used
to start breaking out like crazy, right, Okay, Well, as
you all know when I when I come home, you know,
I immediately strip. I mean I don't. I don't. I
don't wear clothes around the house. I hate to be dressed.
And much to the dismay your neighbors. Yeah see people
who come to the door unexpectedly. Right, So, I mean,

(03:06:04):
if you're you're gonna come try to sell me something,
you're gonna see me naked or am I underwear? Best
case scenario because it's my house and you know the
you know, I've got a mortgage, I might as well
get something out of it. I don't like to be
in my house with all my clothes on. It doesn't
make it. I don't feel like i'm home.

Speaker 3 (03:06:17):
It just doesn't make sense to you, does it?

Speaker 14 (03:06:18):
Right?

Speaker 1 (03:06:19):
So I had I hadn't made the decision that I
needed to cast a check, and I said, well, I'm
not gonna do that. I'm waiting do that Saturday. And
I said, I need some gas.

Speaker 2 (03:06:27):
I'm gonna wait and we'll just take Serio's car because
I don't feel like going out.

Speaker 1 (03:06:30):
What you wanted to go home?

Speaker 3 (03:06:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:06:31):
Well, so I go home. While I'm sitting there, and
all of a sudden, it dawns on me that, uh
that my bank's not open on Saturday anymore, the one
out there by me. They've changed and not opening on
Saturday anymore. So, uh, I go, hey, I need to
go get that check cash. And I look and I'm
hurting on time. Okay, So I jump out of the house,
I jump my car and I take off and I mean,
I'm just kicking and I'm going down through there, and

(03:06:52):
I get my check cashed and and I say, well, heck,
i'm here, I might as well go and get gas,
you know, And I and I said, I'll just do
the you know, the debit card thing. I might as
well do it that way. When Share gets home, we
got a full tank of gas. And we got money
to go out to eat. So so I get out
and UH and I start pumping my gas and about
that time, I feel like cold air brush across my legs.

Speaker 11 (03:07:16):
And I go.

Speaker 1 (03:07:18):
Have him underwear, Rick ver All of a sudden it
hits me, you are not that I have bolted eut
of the house underwear, Rick Verdes, and I am standing
no pumping gas in my underwear. I would uh, I

(03:07:42):
would like, I would like to apologize to everybody at
UH just off Valley Dale, right out in front of
that little food mark. I think it's an next song.

Speaker 38 (03:07:52):
Rick.

Speaker 1 (03:07:52):
You wasn't in.

Speaker 3 (03:07:54):
What kind of undies did you have on?

Speaker 15 (03:07:57):
Well?

Speaker 1 (03:07:57):
You know us it's standard grippies. So but I couldn't
have holes I had. I had a shirt on it,
just a pair of underwear and socks.

Speaker 3 (03:08:05):
You didn't have your shoes on.

Speaker 1 (03:08:07):
I got all caught up. Listen this Terry Bouton thing,
and you a good look. So all of a sudden,
I go, I gotta get back in the car, you
know what I mean. So I look around and I
jump back in the car and I have to shut
the door and sit there and let it quit punk.
But I know I got to get back out to
take it out. You know, I mean you got a
hold on you're in How long is your shirt you
got on? Not long enough so you can see grip

(03:08:30):

wear much. It's all I have. I had on black underwear.
I had on black underwear.

Speaker 3 (03:08:37):
So somebody who went by I thought you was wearing
under ruths.

Speaker 2 (03:08:40):
Well, you know, I thought to myself, well maybe they
think these are shorts. And I thought no, because I
mean just that not only across the front.

Speaker 19 (03:08:47):
Do you have it?

Speaker 1 (03:08:47):
You know, you got the flat that they weren't box
of briefs. They were briefs.

Speaker 15 (03:08:51):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (03:08:51):
Yes, and but and I thought, my god, because I
know now I know what it was. When I left,
I was thinking I'll just cash my check. I'll never
get out of my car.

Speaker 3 (03:09:01):
Being you still left in your underwear.

Speaker 1 (03:09:02):
Well I just I bolted out. I looked and said,
if I don't get there, the bank's gonna close. So
I just want to jumped in the car thinking I
had shorts on, because how much gash Rick.

Speaker 3 (03:09:13):
That is such a nightmare for everybody that you're gonna
be out in public with no clothes on. I mean,
it gives me the heaves just thinking about it, but
not to mention the visual of you standing there with
that hose in your hand.

Speaker 1 (03:09:23):
And here's and here's the thing you here's the thing
you'll hate.

Speaker 15 (03:09:25):
Look.

Speaker 1 (03:09:26):
It was five twenty, so it was packed, every lanes
full of people.

Speaker 3 (03:09:30):
Was anybody looking at you?

Speaker 1 (03:09:31):
Well? I kept thinking when I first got out, and
how you do? I go, hey, what you looking at everybody?

Speaker 9 (03:09:36):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (03:09:37):
He did not you know you ever looked.

Speaker 3 (03:09:38):
Somebody say hey, you're gonna take a picture?

Speaker 1 (03:09:40):
You know?

Speaker 9 (03:09:41):
Last long?

Speaker 1 (03:09:41):
But you know me, I think of the show problem,
you know what I mean? Little did I know he's going, Hey,
Biggins in his underwear. But the horrible moment, the horrible
moment was when I realized it because now I'm sitting
in the car, going I gotta make one more run
out there? Did you do the car at the fall?

Speaker 32 (03:09:58):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (03:09:58):
Thank goodness.

Speaker 3 (03:10:00):
If to go in, what if you you'd either had
to speed off and be a criminal not pay which
or walk in the store in your underwear.

Speaker 1 (03:10:09):
I will be honest with you, I would have probably
bolted from the scene and then acted like you know
and just told have something underwear. I was coming back.
I need to go put on a pair of shorts.
Ies lived right over the hill. But if you would
have been pulled over and your underwear, the guy would
have thought you were drunk. Probably well, see that the
area that we live in, it's got a touch of
you know, hotty toddy to it. So these people were
thinking the boy the Rednecks have moved in. You know

(03:10:30):
what I mean. I mean that they are here pumping again.
You know what the next thing tomorrow will drive by.
He'll have on boots with no socks and shorts, burning leaves.
You know what? Where is dog? What? I wanted to
hear this?

Speaker 2 (03:10:47):
So I just want to apologize if I had socks on,
It's all I had on with socks of socks, just
show basic white sauce.

Speaker 1 (03:10:54):
It didn't, it didn't. It didn't come to you when
you went and hit the gas pedal and you realize
how I'm in my I don't think I cared because
when I left, I was thinking I would never get
out of the car. And then I said, well, I'm
gonna get gas and I jumped out and I don't cold.
Their hit my legs and I went hey him, in
my underwear. Well, I already started the bumping the gas.
What kind of T shirt you have on? I want
to know? Uh, well, I don't want to upset anybody

(03:11:15):
believe it was my Kevin Deryberry T shirt?

Speaker 5 (03:11:18):
So what?

Speaker 3 (03:11:20):
And you had on black underwear? And what saw it
come down to you? No, I've tried Kevin. There, it's
a little short hit.

Speaker 1 (03:11:27):
It hit me about top of the crack. That's where
it hit me. Maybe just a little lower than that,
but enough that you go, hey, buddy's got his underworld.
Do you think people thought it was shorts, like a
biking shorts or something. No, Rick, Rick, people thought he
was your underwear. They thought they was runk out there?

Speaker 13 (03:11:46):
It is mine.

Speaker 3 (03:11:47):
Do you think I'm telling y'all getting up early?

Speaker 1 (03:11:49):
People? Right in your mind? And this is proof?

Speaker 3 (03:11:51):
Once again that was my point.

Speaker 1 (03:11:53):
See, it was that late afternoon where I was all
sleepy and just oriented and uh and plus I was
all caught up in this Terrybote thing. Am I just
listening away trying to get caught up? Okay? Basically you
were so caught up to your bowt and thing you
forgot to put your pants on. Bottom line, Well, I
went here, I gotta go right now. That was where
I messed up. I didn't have time to think what
I was doing. One them kind where you bowled out
into the grass. You know you're backing out. You go, yeah,

(03:12:15):
I gotta go get you take care of real quick
that I'm going in in this and I'm letting you.

Speaker 3 (03:12:18):
Rick, When you went to the bank teller, did you
go to the to the lane right next to the window.

Speaker 1 (03:12:23):
I was one I was one over.

Speaker 5 (03:12:25):
I was one lane over.

Speaker 1 (03:12:26):
That goodness, they couldn't tell I was in my underwear. Really,
my underwear was good, was secret till I got out
and pump gassing. That's when it all went downhill, Rick,
I can't believe that that is too fun.

Speaker 2 (03:12:36):
I need apologize to the people there, especially the the
young lady who was it was one pump over from me.

Speaker 3 (03:12:41):

Speaker 1 (03:12:45):
Fan of the show right there.
