Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey, it's Speedy, and this is Rick and Bubba's Greatest Hits,
flashing back through 31 years of radio gold every Saturday morning,
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
It's Rick and Bubba's Greatest Hits.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Rick, hang on just a minute. Someone had sent me
a story, and it's called The Five Legendary Monsters of
French Folklore. So they do have some monsters.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, Adler was asking Frenchie in the break about these,
and he was giving a yes. Can we get Frenchie
in here? I'm going to ask him. Frenchie, come back.
I'd like Adler in here, too. Frenchie, come back.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Really?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah, because if he could pull up the website he
was on, because he was going through the list.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
This one looks like a wolf or something here. There's
all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Gabriel, we found information Bubba wants to ask you about.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
French, come here. Just come over here, man.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, you can say... Come here.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Five legendary monsters of France. You familiar with this one? Yes.
How do you say that?
Speaker 5 (01:00):
La Bête du Gévaudan.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
What's that?
Speaker 5 (01:02):
La Bête du Gévaudan.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Are you familiar with this monster?
Speaker 6 (01:05):
I have already heard this name, but I don't know
really what it is.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
You don't know what it is?
Speaker 7 (01:11):
It sounded like a dessert. It did.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
It looks like they catch it on fire. Yeah, it
looks like a wolf. Now, what is this one here?
Speaker 5 (01:20):
I don't know this one.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Can you pronounce it? And what is that? Never heard
of it?
Speaker 5 (01:27):
It's an animal between turtle.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
A turtle?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Ricky, it looks like a dragon with a turtle shell
on it that has horns coming out of it and
some kind of crazy face. But it's said to be
the servant of death, and it's depicted in... I don't
like the servant of death. I'm reading this one up here.
It's actually a skeleton, Rick, draped in a black cloak
(01:57):
and holding an arrow or spear.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
That's not the turtle?
Speaker 4 (02:01):
No, it's the next one down. I had them off. Now,
what is this one here?
Speaker 5 (02:04):
I don't know this one.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
How do you say it?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
That's the one that looks like a turtle.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
He needs to work on this word in English. He
struggles with turtle. Say turtle. Turtle. Turtle.
Speaker 8 (02:17):
Turtle.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Turtle. Turtle. Turtle. Hey, relax it.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Go.
Speaker 8 (02:21):
Turtle.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Turtle.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
No, no, look.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
See, turtle. So they talk right here. He can't make
his mouth not do it.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
Turtle.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Turtle. That's better.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
That's better.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
It said it's a legendary beast that haunted the marshes
and riverbeds, especially between some areas there. It's described as
part dragon, snake, or crocodile with a lion's head, and
a tortoise shell.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Wow. Never quite a common name. Have you heard of
any of these?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
La Bête du Givaudan, yes.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Which one?
Speaker 7 (02:51):
Careful.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
La Bête du Givaudan.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
You've heard of it? The first one?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Yes. Yes.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
What was it, the wolf thing, Bubba?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Was that the first? No, this is a giant bear
that would eat young shepherds and their flocks.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Oh, boy.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
So you've heard of it?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Have you ever seen it?
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Yes, of course.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I hear they're in Burgundy.
Speaker 7 (03:11):
This one here.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
How do you say that?
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Saramuga. But it's not a French name.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It's not?
Speaker 9 (03:18):
No.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Well, don't talk down to us. We didn't know.
Speaker 7 (03:22):
It sounded Russian.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
It looks like a troll, and it says it comes
into your room at night and sits on your chest
and stops you from breathing correctly.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Are you afraid of that, Frenchy?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
No.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
What is this one?
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Le cheval mali.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
That sounds like a great dinner.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
Would you like one?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I would like the Luce of Alamele. It's a white horse?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Yeah, this one, Rick, is a white horse. It's a
beautiful white horse, but evil.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Oh, oh.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
It would appear at night alongside tired travelers in parts
of western France. The horse would be ready to ride
with a saddle and tempt the exhausted travelers to climb
on board and rest their legs, only to be thrown
off when the horse would run and jump over a cliff.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (04:10):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Wow. You got to watch him, white horse. I saw
one out in the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
You sure did.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I may have seen this thing. Remember when I was
a kid. Okay, well, let's see. We've had a couple
of bad horses. What is this one, Frank?
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Le Croque-Mittaine.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Now, this is children are often threatened with this frightening
and evil creature to forbid them from going somewhere they
shouldn't go. It hides in rivers, lakes.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
And in the winter, they can eat little children's noses
and fingers.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
What? No, not their.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Noses and fingers. You're out there fishing in these streams
and creeks. Have you ever seen it?
Speaker 8 (04:44):
No.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Somebody help me.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
With Hadler, I remember another legend. Its name is Dau.
It's a dog, a mix between dog, horse, dog, dog.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Horse, and coat.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Goat?
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Cow.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Is he saying dog or Doug?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Dog.
Speaker 9 (05:09):
Dog?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
A dog named Doug.
Speaker 7 (05:10):
I thought, what Doug do?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
So you do know that one? Have you ever seen it?
Speaker 7 (05:14):
No.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Have you ever seen it? No.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Never?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
What is this one, Rick?
Speaker 5 (05:19):
No.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
This, Rick, is a creature. It's a man or a
woman with a dark soul. And it is possessed by Satan.
And at midnight, they transform themselves into animals, often wolves.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
We've met her.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
But they also can be foxes, boars, goats, or cats.
And they spend the night roaming the forest, eating people
who have committed the seven deadly sins.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
They'd be full on this guy. You know this one?
Which one?
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Le Voir Lou.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Oh, you do know this one? Yes.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
I know this one.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Have you ever seen it? No.
Speaker 10 (05:55):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Did you hear about it when you were a boy?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Do you believe?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Did it scare you? Yes. It did scare you?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Yes, it's famous. I think it's the most famous of
the nine legends.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
And you were afraid of it when you were a child? Yes.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
It looks a lot like Teen Wolf.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Oh, I see it. He's pulling something up on the screen. Oh,
he's really looking. He's into it now. So he's really
heard of two on the list.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
I know this one. You don't know?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
No.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
It's like it's a man who beat children when they
are not on Wednesday.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
No, when they misbehave.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I thought he said that too. That's my dad. That's
just my dad.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
It's a picture of Coach Burgess.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
They called that coach where I was from. I wish
we could see what y'all are looking at.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
A whip?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
A whip?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yes, a whip.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
They would whip the kids when they misbehaved.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
Oh, wow, that's America.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
It's in Germany.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
It is with the good man who give a gift
to children.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
You know what, Santa Claus? Robin Hood?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
This is like the opposite of Santa Claus, Rick. And
he would either leave charcoal instead of sweets, or he
would beat children with a bag of coal.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
That's Krampus.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Another nickname for him directly translated would be Father Whipper.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Oh, look, that looks like Adler. Have you ever seen
him before? No. You haven't seen any of these? Did
you ever get cold for Christmas and get a baby?
Speaker 5 (07:35):
In Germany, it's very famous.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
In Germany?
Speaker 10 (07:37):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Very famous. Have you ever been dumped on? Were you
afraid of him?
Speaker 7 (07:42):
No.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
No, because you're not in Germany?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
No.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Do you think he would ever come over to France?
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Maybe, because in some region of France, close to Germany,
is it?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
We'll see there. He's awful close.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
He's getting over there. Frenchie, do you know why James
is crying? What? Can you say, because he just got
dunked on?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
What is dunked on?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
In basketball. So when Greg is going to ask you
why James is crying, and you say, because he just
got dunked on.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Because he just got dunked on.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
That's it. Yeah, but you got to kind of scream
it like... Say, because he just got dunked on. Say
it like that.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Because he just got dunked on.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yes. Why is James crying? Why is James crying?
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Because he just get dunked on.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Let him hear it, Rick. He didn't have anybody here.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Look right here, Frenchie.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
See, that's what we're doing. That's what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Got it?
Speaker 10 (08:52):
Greg, his face is like, okay.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
But why?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
But why?
Speaker 10 (08:58):
So if somebody says, like if I say, Why Bubba crying?
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Because he just get down down.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
You got it.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Why is Gabe crying?
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Because he just get down down.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
He's got it. Why Speedy crying?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Because he just get down down.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
We got it now.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
You see, he's starting to add a little flavor to
it now. We're getting on the road. This is an
ongoing thing with Gary and me.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Oh, boy.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
And, Greg, you said it, and some people don't get it. Greg, really,
it is. I know it's not your original thought, but
you're the one who brought it here. Really, the world
would all be better off, Rick Burgess included, if we
had a very keen sense of when to shutter a
hole and know a rope. You know, now that they
(10:14):
have something that's a little milder now called stay in
your lane. Yes. That's becoming popular again now. It's overused.
Stay in your lane. But really, where we grew up,
it was called shut your hole and know your role.
There it is. Don't get out of your area. That's
your space. And I realize that when it comes to
Gary that I'm second to Alria. I know this. You
(10:37):
know it going in. Alria is Gary's favorite client. And
those of you that know Gary, and you've heard him
on the show a lot, many adventures of Gary. And he–
He works for various people who have land, and he
does roads and greenfields and bush hogging and building all
kinds of dams and build ponds. I mean, he builds
(11:00):
houses and cabins and entranceways, gates. Hey, I mean, you know,
if there's something you need done, I mean, you know,
you can hire somebody. I mean, they won't do no better.
I mean, you can't find no help. And he's had
a fallout with a guy that used to work with him.
This guy's– Oh, I can't believe that. Well, you know,
Gary having a fallout. I'll tell you why Gary has
ended up working alone is because he doesn't like anybody.
(11:22):
There's nobody Gary likes. There's that. You don't want to
do him. That guy's an idiot. Thank you, Gary. And
the problem that Gary has is, on one hand, Gary
constantly complains that he can't find any help and that
he's being worked to the bone. That's over here. Now,
(11:43):
this is what Gary's got to figure out. But over here,
he will not allow you to hire anybody but him
to do something. Now, those two things are mutually exclusive.
You can't say you got too much, and then when
I say, well, I'll put this up. Hey, you don't
want him to do it. They charge you an arm
and leg, and they an idiot. They won't do half job,
(12:03):
I do. But what Gary doesn't understand is, but when
projects are finished, then I'm pleased. I really don't care
who did it. You know what I mean? Yeah, as
opposed to he's at odds with me about the pond. Hey,
I could have done that, cleaned that stuff around the pond,
and you ain't going to tell me how much you
paid for that. Yeah, but see, it's done. And it's over,
(12:26):
and it's not a mess. Okay, it looks great. And
so I think Gary sometimes thinks, I don't know what
he thinks my budget is, and certainly we want to
be good stewards, but sometimes I just want it done.
Because if not, we just keep it. This thing, there
we go. You know the line you talk about, and
(12:46):
we kid around a lot, but there's a line, and
I can sometimes be on the wrong side of it
the other way. I will openly admit that. There's a
line of being a good steward and just being cheap.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
And it's a line. And there's also a line of
just throwing money that's unnecessary at some point. Well, that's
your ruler. It's nickel, dime, and then throwing money away.
And I can sometimes, because I don't like to be hassled,
I probably sometimes could use probably another estimate or two. Okay?
(13:20):
But I'm just ready. I really don't mind, unless it's unreasonable.
I don't really mind paying a little more to get
it done right. And timely. And timely. I really don't.
You know, I'm not saving money if the thing I
need done is never done. I mean, that didn't save
me anything. I mean, it's like that. I mean, what
(13:41):
did that do for me? And so, you know, and
so we get in. And then so I come down there,
and I realize I hear him talking about, hey, I
went over to Al Regas. He didn't believe all the
feed we had to put out. I said, yeah, that's great, man.
I'm glad for Al. I get down there to the
farm yesterday getting ready for hunting season. The feeder's empty.
(14:02):
And then Gary's out there working on something else. And
I'm like, yeah, I went to see the feeder. It's empty. Well,
I mean, hey, I ain't had time because I got
this other thing going on. Yeah, but owls are full.
I bet they're full to the brim. Spilling out, Rick.
I bet owls just got feed spilling everywhere. More feed
than he needs. So many deer under there eating them.
And I told him, I said, Gary, I understand my role,
(14:23):
and I will shut my hole. There's no telling what
Alria pays you, and he's got cash laying around. He
can't spend it. And I'm not in his league, and
I got it. I know my place. But I'll go
get the feed, and I can handle it. I'm perfectly
capable of putting feed in feeders. Now, see, you do that,
and people say, you're too nice to people. You'll overspend
(14:45):
for the feed, and just let me handle it. And
I'm like, what? But letting you handle it's great, but
it has to be done. I mean, it's just like
I don't mind doing it. I'm perfectly capable of it.
I'm not. No, you don't. I mean, you live over
in Birmingham. You don't know how to do this kind
of stuff. You'll mess it up. And I'm like, I
can't mess up pouring feed in a feeder. How hard
(15:07):
is that? It's hard to mess that up. Now, at
the times you do it, what's different?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
What's the technique? Yeah. Top's not on tight, right? And
every time I get around him, he's got to bring
up Al. I have to hear about Al over and
over again. Now, over and over again. Yeah, okay, buddy.
I got you. And so then it's like we– and see,
we have people that can do the job. It's almost
(15:34):
like he thinks that that world down there lives– it's
a completely different kingdom or something. I said, hey, I
got somebody to fix that air condition over at Cherry's
little place. No, no, I got somebody I'll call. Let
me handle it. You don't need to handle it. Somebody
will be down here and they'll overcharge you. Like that.
So I go down there this past week. I walk
in the house. It's hot again. I said, Gary, the
(15:55):
air conditioning, it's hot in the house again. Really? He
said he fixed it. I said, see, this is that
thing I'm trying to tell you. I sent an invoice
to this guy, whoever he is, okay, some friend of Gary's.
And then I came down here, and it was cool
one day, and it was working. But then I came
back a few weeks later, and now it's hot again.
So that money really went right up a hog's butt. Now,
(16:20):
it might have been less expensive than the people I
would have hired because they got to go a little further,
but they would have fixed it. And so then that
little bit of money that I paid the people that
would have fixed it, not put a Band-Aid on it, well,
he said he put some Freon in it and he
thought he'd probably use it until it got cool again.
That was our plan. So there's a Freon leak, so
(16:40):
we just fill it up and hope it doesn't run
out before it gets cool again in Alabama?
Speaker 6 (16:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
What kind of plan is that? Fix it. Well, I mean,
that's going to cost. Yeah, I know it's going to cost, but.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
We'll be cold. It'll work!
Speaker 2 (16:57):
What good is it? Hey, they gave you a good
deal on that.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
It's not a good deal if it didn't work!
Speaker 10 (17:08):
It's 90 degrees in here!
Speaker 9 (17:10):
Literally.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
So it didn't work!
Speaker 5 (17:14):
That was money up a hog's butt!
Speaker 2 (17:18):
What did that accomplish? What did that accomplish? I think
they thought it'd last. So in other words, so you're saying, hey,
but really the amount you paid, it stayed cool in
there for a month. That's about right. Yeah, but I
want it always cold. That's about right. Is that it? What,
am I paying to have it cool for a little while? Yeah.
So every so often I'll pay for Freon to come
(17:39):
in and leak back out? What kind of plan is this?
Here's your rate if you want it cool for a month.
And if you want it fixed, it's a whole nother one. No,
I want it fixed. Completely fixed. If it has to
be another air conditioning unit, fine.
Speaker 10 (17:51):
Fix it.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Well, he thought it'd be enough for him until he
got killed again. Where does he live? We're not in Alaska.
I mean, in Alaska, that plan might work.
Speaker 10 (18:03):
Really?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Let's fix it, right?
Speaker 4 (18:05):
This is good for you, Bubba.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Rick and Bubba.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
A couple of things we have to talk about, Bubba.
We have a tourist that has fallen. Oh, my goodness.
I mean, the geysers there at Yellowstone.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
This is not the worst. If you read on, they
talk about several accidents they've had there.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Oh, faithful.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Oh, really?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
A tourist who was visiting Yellowstone National Park on Sunday
suffered severe thermal burns after he tripped into a hot
spring near Old Faithful Geyser, according to local reports. The man, 48,
a U.S. citizen who lives in India, told rangers... He
was walking without a flashlight at the time of the fall.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Not a way to go, buddy.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
He managed to get back to his hotel room and
was eventually flown to the burn center at Idaho Hospital,
where he's listed in critical condition. Park Rangers said they
detected evidence of alcohol use back in his hotel room.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Sure they did.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Of course.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Sure they did.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
The park has about 500 geysers, Rick, and Park Rangers...
are able to predict the eruption time of about six
of them, including Old Faithful, which has only lengthened the
time between eruptions by about 30 minutes in the last
30 years. Four million people travel through the park each year.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Now, get this.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
In 2016, Colin Nathaniel Scott, 23, of Portland, Oregon, left
the boardwalk section near the geyser and fell into a
high-temperature acidic spring. Recovery efforts were called off after rangers
determined there were no remains left in the hot spring.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Hello. We did this story. Do you remember this? Because
he left the trail.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
It dissolved him up.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Mm-mm.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Up.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Hey, baby, she's gone.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
We've always said if you drop your keys in a
hot molten lava, baby.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
They're gone.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
I think we should include if you fall into an
acidic spring by Old Faithful, hey, baby, you're gone.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Let me bring up something, and I know this is
going to be a little uncomfortable, but we all know
that once we pass... you know, the body decomposes and
we go back to nothing, okay?
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Dust to dust.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
So would this be, if we start right out of
the room, could this be another option for you to
do your ceremony, you're done, everything's fine, you do the memorial,
you pay.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
And they lower you into Old Faithful.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
And they lower you into Old Faithful.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Well, this is actually an acidic spring next to it.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Are this spring? And you say, I want my body
laid to rest there, and then it's gone.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Rick, the area there.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
You put a picture of the person up in your house,
and that's it. You're done.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Rick, the area there, they say, is one of the
hottest and most volatile areas of Yellowstone. You know it's
a super volcano, by the way. I think I've mentioned it.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
There we go.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Boiling water flows just beneath a thin rock crust. Water
temperatures there can easily reach 199 degrees, which is the
boiling point for water at that elevation. Now, normally it's 212.
But at that elevation, it will boil at 199. At
least 22 people are known to have died from hot
(21:15):
spring-related injuries in and around Yellowstone since 1890. Did you
know it was our first national park, too?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
You know another thing we can say today, Bubba? Drinking
and geysers do not go together.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
No, no.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Or walking around in the dark, Rick.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Add that to it. How about wandering into a Yellowstone
drunk in the dark is a thumbs down. You ask
how many things can go wrong.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
A lot, Rick.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
You know what will be left of you?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Nothing.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Which is, you know, you have to admit, that's a
little hassle, though.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I mean, it is. And I saw Speedy kind of
light up just a minute when I mentioned this possibility.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
No, Rick. I mean, there would be a charge for it,
but not near as expensive.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
No, no.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
You know what I mean? Now, so what would you
call it?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Like if you're a package guy.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
We call it the goodbye geyser. And even though it's not,
we're still going to put you in the poo, but
you're near the geysers.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
So we call it the goodbye geyser, and you come
over and you pay your respects. We celebrate. We're not
being disrespectful. We sing hymns. We read Bible verses. We
do the whole celebration of the person's life. All that's there.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
You have just like a platform and a crane lets
you down into it, and it comes back up, and
it's just the metal.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
You know how they lower down the casket? We're just
lowering you down into the acidic pool.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
And then you pull it up, and there's nothing there
but the platform.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
So you do that with the families there? Yeah, if
you want to. No, you can walk away if you
want to.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
It's an option.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
It's an option. It costs more?
Speaker 9 (22:39):
No.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
No, it's the same either way.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
And we call it the goodbye geyser. All right, everybody.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
They have a viewing area with a very sturdy rail.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Look, and you get it. So my call said, hey,
did you hear so-and-so finally passed? Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
When's the funeral?
Speaker 2 (22:51):
So when's the funeral? Well, they're going to do the
goodbye geyser.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Next week at Yellowstone.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
You ask them, you go, is this going to be
a wake? Is this going to be graveside? Is this
going to be a memorial? You say, no, it's a
goodbye geyser. And you go, oh, okay, I got you.
And then everybody knows. I mean, if you hear goodbye geyser.
You know.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
Hey, baby, you're gone.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Do you think people go just to watch? There would
be some intrigue. I mean, sadly. I'm not saying that's
the way to go, but there would be some intrigue.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Well, maybe you haven't decided what you're going to do.
You're thinking maybe cremation or, you know, I'm Baptist, I
want to bury them, or the goodbye geyser. So they
may go, well, we're having a goodbye geyser ceremony this
afternoon if you want to stick around and see it.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Come take a look.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Because you hadn't seen it before, and you go, well,
I don't know if that's for mom or not.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Right, yeah. You realize speed. Let me tell you what
you're out. Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Let's go through. Hey, you going out trying to pay
for a plot? That expense is gone. A casket? Don't
need it?
Speaker 6 (23:44):
Nope.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Monument? Don't need it?
Speaker 9 (23:46):
Nope.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
You realize how much money I'm saving you with the
goodbye geyser?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
So is a goodbye geyser, is that a lot less?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Oh, it's tremendously less.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I mean, think of all the things I said you
don't need.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Now, travel will be a factor.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Well, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 7 (24:02):
It still keeps a lower cost.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Could you recreate the goodbye geyser? In other words, let's say...
You're trying to get one local? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Well, I think the fact that it's natural. I don't
think it would be the same if you went down
to the local funeral home and they had boiling oil
down there.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
So I'm thinking of like an above-ground pool.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
You know?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
I got you. We create one local. But that's not
near as beautiful, to Bubba's point, as Yellowstone National Park.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Yeah, and that's kind of creepy.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
If it's natural, it's almost like.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
Oh, wait a minute. Now it's creepy?
Speaker 4 (24:36):
I think if it's natural, you feel more of that
dust to dust.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
That's what I'm going for.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
I don't think if you're in a chemical bath from,
you know, in a big tub, it just doesn't have
the same look.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
And let me tell my Baptists out there, it's okay.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
I mean, look, we already got cremation, so that kind
of goes to.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Well, the Lord is going to raise up everybody, including
those lost at sea.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
He's going to put you back. He put the Adams
back together no matter where they are.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
The people lost at sea.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
But I mean, I'm Baptist at heart. I mean, my
first feeling is I need to bury you.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
No question.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Because that's just what I'm used to.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, we need to.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
But I don't think it limits God by any stretch.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Well, because you're talking about Scripture already says that.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Well, yeah, if it's going to gather people out of
the ocean first, you know, they're scattered everywhere.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
People in explosions and things. The guy who fell in
the geyser, if he was a believer. I don't know.
But the bottom line is this. So this is not
beyond God's ability for you to get that perfect body.
I think it's probably just more cultural.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Right.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Oh, no, look, it's unnerving the first one you go to.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
But, I mean.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
I got news for you. I don't know if y'all
have looked around. What we do now is pretty unnerving.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
It is.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Well, yeah, if you knew the details of it.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
It's pretty unnerving.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
You know, and you made the point the other day,
there's been shows where they show you how they do
magic tricks. You don't see a lot about behind the
curtain at the old funeral home.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Don't want to know. Don't have any desire to know that.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
No.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, Helmsley's right, though. I'm sure it's some package, though.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
If you've got to go there for the goodbye geyser,
I'm sure they're working with, Yeah, we got a travel agency.
Book flights, use this airline.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
You want the Goodbye Geyser package.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
And then they have the heavenly bus ride out to
the side.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Now, do you have a Goodbye Geyser almost like a feed,
like a webcam or something for maybe.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
A family member that can't? You're getting ahead of me now.
We do offer, due to technology, you can just watch
it live.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
It's behind a paywall.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
It's a very small fee. Live streaming. Don't even have
to be there. Wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
What about if you charged Goodbye Geyser live feed and
you could have a membership and you could just watch
them all day?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Nah.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
That gets a little weird.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Something dark about that.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Next thing you know, you're killing cats.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Right.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Or losing them. Right. You can even go down to
the church and say, we got a Goodbye Geyser on
the big screen today for Miss So-and-So. Yeah. And you
don't even have to go.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
A big part of our 25-year history is.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
This year. We've had a lot of great James Spann moments.
Staying another segment with us today after giving you the
4th of July weekend forecast based on where you live.
Also today, we want to talk about his new book
called Weathering Life. James, tell us, how did you end
up doing the book? What's the story behind this?
Speaker 8 (27:17):
The deal is, we've had so many historic weather events,
say back in the 1920s and the 30s and the 40s.
We don't know that much about them. There's a little information,
but I wish that somebody that worked some of these
historic events would have jotted down some notes. And that's
what I'm trying to do. It's just make a written
(27:37):
record of some of the historic weather events that I've
worked over years.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I'm old as dirt.
Speaker 8 (27:42):
I've been doing this 41 years and a lot of
history has come under my watch. And I have worked
these weather events from a rather unique perspective, being a
professional practitioner, meteorologist in the middle of it. And I
just wanted to get this stuff down. I'm not really
a good writer. So half the deal, it's chronicling some
of these huge weather events that I've worked. And this
(28:04):
is some very deep history, and it's kind of like
inside baseball, if you like weather. But the other thing,
I see so many people that are discouraged today. And
we've all had issues, and many of us have issues
right now. A lot of people listening to this show
are discouraged, and they're having hard times. And I came
from a background, fellas, that was not the best environment. Um,
(28:26):
my dad abandoned me and my mom when I was seven.
And this was a case where my father just walked
out one night and he never came back. My father
never said goodbye. Have a nice life. See you later.
He never told me that he loved me to this day.
I don't know if he did. And he never paid
a dime of child support. And I'm not a big
family guy. It's just at that point, my family was
(28:48):
me and my mama. I have no siblings and we
were broke. And we lived in a small town in
rural South Alabama in the 60s. And that in itself
is interesting, growing up in a small town in South
Alabama in the 60s. That in itself is a story.
But life got kind of hard. And we both had
to work really hard. and in so many ways, some
(29:11):
good things came out of this. And I tell people
this all the time, I'm not good at anything I do.
And I mean that, but let me tell you something, fellas,
I will work harder than any body else to accomplish
a goal. And that work ethic came out of this
challenging background. So I tell the story of what happened
to me and, uh, accepting Christ when I was 12.
(29:34):
And of course, that was the biggest life-changing thing. And
I think people that read that book will be encouraged.
I want to be a Barnabas. There's too many trolls
and haters in the world today. If you don't believe that,
just get on the FaceBag feed that I have. It's
troll-a-rama there. I don't want to be a troll. I
want to encourage people because I see so many people
(29:54):
that need a word of encouragement.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
You know, you mentioned Barnabas. It's a gift. Yeah, you
mentioned Barnabas because it was interesting, you know, as time
goes on and if we continue the sanctification process, you know,
God will reveal to us things that we didn't even know.
You know, maybe you've been a follower of Christ for,
you know, 20 years. You're going to learn something in
Scripture if you're willing to, you know, until you die.
And I noticed always in my mind had Paul as
(30:19):
the leader and Barnabas as somebody that he was trying
to help, but it's the complete opposite. Barnabas is clear.
was the mentor for the Apostle Paul, who was his
encourager and kind of helped him get started and had
the other disciples accept him when they didn't want to
accept him because of his past history of persecuting the church.
(30:40):
And it was Barnabas that was the go-between, saying, hey,
he's one of us now, and I vouch for him.
And then you see, of course, the role that Barnabas
played in the early church and the example, as you said,
of encouragement and sacrificial giving. But you mentioned this about
your father. They didn't say Mark on the other side.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
And then Barnabas had to say, look, we'll work on
him as well. So Barnabas was that guy you brought
into conflict to try to help. So I'm glad that
you've taken that role, and you've certainly done that with
your life. But I knew a little bit of the
story of you as a boy, but something about this book,
and some of us were reading it here yesterday at
(31:18):
the studio, and when you paint that picture– of you
as the little boy and your mother dressing you up
on another promise unfulfilled by your earthly father, and you
sitting in that chair looking out that window for the
father that never came. James, you crushed us, and I
know that had to be difficult to relive, but I
(31:40):
think it's important that you did.
Speaker 8 (31:42):
Yeah, there was a lot of pain in my soul
that's still there.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
It doesn't go away.
Speaker 8 (31:48):
Maybe it fades away, but bringing back some of those memories.
But my father occasionally would promise to come by and
pick me up after he left. My mama would dress
me up and she'd sit me in a chair by
the window and I would look out waiting for his
car and he would never come, never come. And she
did this multiple times. And I often when I go
(32:09):
through Greenville, I'm from Greenville, Alabama, which is a smaller
town in Butler County between Montgomery and Mobile, which is
a marvelous community. In fact, by the way, if you
ever get a speeding ticket in Greenville, call me. My
best friend from the Cub Scouts is the mayor.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
James, I wish I had known that about two weeks ago.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
There was a lot of pain in writing that, but
I think it's an important story because, fellas, look, I'm
not alone. At the time, I thought I was the
only kid without a father, but goodness gracious, I do
children's ministry, and I see this so many times, the
pain in these kids' eyes, and I can relate to that. And,
you know, through these experiences, we're shaped. And a lot
of people listening to us are going through some really
challenging times. So it molds you and develops you into
(32:54):
who you are. But don't ever let anybody tell you
it's not hard. It's brutally hard. So I kind of
open up my soul to that. and then becoming a
man at the age of seven. I was the man
of the house at the age of seven, and I
had to work and work and work and work. I
got a job at a radio station when I was
in high school, and that kind of opened the door
for this. I loved weather, and there were some encouragers
(33:15):
that encouraged me, some men that filled the gap as
a father figure in my life, and I write about
those men. But again, some of the weather events, if
you're a weather weenie, you'll love this book. It's inside
baseball and events like April 27, 2011. That was a
generational tornado outbreak that in my state killed 252 people.
I think about that day every day, and I will
(33:36):
until the day I die. And you'll learn more about
what happened in that weather office and the things we
were going through our mind. You can watch the video
on YouTube, but you don't know what was going on
with the real story inside of there. So all that's
in the book.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
It is. So it's available now. James, can I ask
you the one thing? And if you don't want to
unpack that, that's fine, because I was just reading some
excerpts from it. Did you ever did your mom ever
tell you why your dad was it was it because
of the issues? And I won't give away, you know,
some of the parts of the book he had. He
obviously had some issues. Is that what it was tied to?
Did your mom ever say this is why your dad
(34:11):
left or was there just no explanation?
Speaker 8 (34:14):
She really didn't talk a lot about it because, quite frankly,
she didn't have all the answers. But he had an
addiction problem and he had some other issues. And in
a way, maybe it's better than he left. There could
have been some abuse.
Speaker 7 (34:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (34:28):
But whatever it happened. And I did see him. I
feel like I needed to find him. I was in
my 30s, and I tracked him down. And I think
a lot of people that go through something like this,
they feel the need to do that when they're adults
because you want to know where you came from. And
I had a chance to meet him one time 30
years after he left, and it wasn't a good experience.
(34:48):
He had a condition called alcohol dementia. And it's almost
like you're talking to a brick wall. But that was
very healing for me. And I could say some things
I needed to say to him.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yeah, I understood. Well, it's got so much. As you said,
if you want to look, there's one thing to know
the history of weather. It's another thing to know what
it was like to be in the middle of it
doing the job you do. And then, of course, obviously
the testimony of your life. Many, many people were leaning in,
just saw the latest figures for our home state because
I really feel a call to try to get involved
(35:17):
in working these plans we've done for years with men's ministry.
Because of the impact of this, but in our state
right now, we are now at 50% of the children
that are out there in just the state of Alabama
do not have a father. We're now, it is just
as likely for you to not have your father as
to have him. The two groups are the same size.
Speaker 8 (35:42):
Let me tell you, fellas, when I became a husband
and a dad, I had to figure this stuff out
on my.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Own.
Speaker 8 (35:50):
That's part of the deal. It's almost generational. So I'm
very thankful I learned it on my own.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Well, and you talked about these men, though, that stepped
in in your church, and that's kind of the thing
I'm talking about, that filled that role because they were helpful.
Speaker 7 (36:04):
Thanks a lot, James.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Thank you, Gruff.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
And thanks for doing this book, Weathering Life, available now
at rickandbubba.com. Just hit show notes. We'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey weighing in. Oh, maybe she knows.
Governor Ivey.
Speaker 9 (36:22):
Good morning, Richard. I'm so sorry to hear that Bill
is under the weather.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (36:28):
That is just a shame. Yes, I do have a comment.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
It is.
Speaker 9 (36:32):
a sort of a mystery, but it is on a
different subject.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Understood.
Speaker 9 (36:37):
I was over in the teleport area the other day,
and I noticed that someone went outside the side door there,
and I immediately went down to my motorcade, and I
got in my vehicle and saw that it was some,
I thought it was a cute little intern there with
a hair and a bun. But I realized that cute
(36:58):
little girl had a beard. I noticed that it was Mr.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
Adler.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Yeah, it was. That's right. He does have a bun
and a beard. It was Chris Adler. That's not one
of our female interns. Bun and a beard.
Speaker 10 (37:12):
No, it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
I wasn't.
Speaker 9 (37:14):
I'm very surprised. I wanted to get my clippers out.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Right, you wanted to get your clippers out. Give him
a decent haircut.
Speaker 7 (37:21):
I'm not a female intern, and I also just look
like I've been.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
Lost in the woods, but I have not.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Right, right. Well, Governor, thank you for calling, and I'm
sorry you were scared.
Speaker 9 (37:34):
Well, I do appreciate y'all and what you do here
in the state of Alabama for us, making us laugh
every day, and stand for the Lord.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Thank you.
Speaker 10 (37:42):
Hallelujah.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (37:44):
I don't know who that is, but it's excellent.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Thank you, Governor. We didn't want to bring up the blackface. Greg.
I didn't want to bring it up.
Speaker 7 (37:52):
Greg, why would you ruin a funny.
Speaker 8 (37:55):
Bit?
Speaker 2 (37:56):
So good. So the mystery of that is that is
Chris Adler, and no, he hasn't been lost, nor is
he a girl.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
No.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
No, Rick, I don't think so. So anyway, we'll get back.
More Rick and Bubba coming up. 866-WE-BE-BIG-BUBBA. Sick and out today.
She just heard the governor call in and check on him.
Why is the FBI showing up is what I want
to know. They took their notes and they left. Top
of the hour, more Rick and Bubba next.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
There's a lot of things featured in this story. One
of these, this woman doesn't end up in this situation
if she wasn't one of those people that travels with
her animals.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Rick, to begin with, there's so many things here in
this story to unpack, and we will have to handle carefully.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Well, she didn't.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
There is a truck stop in Louisiana that is a
combination truck stop and petting zoo.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
You know, we have a lot of fans in Louisiana,
and every one of them said, what's the big deal?
Of course there is.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Rick, I don't know. I guess just in my soul,
I think when I hear that, that that could lend
itself to problems. Truck stop and petting zoo.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Yeah, and it did.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
There's a lot of jokes there. You can just hold those.
But that just seems a strange combination to me.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Did you see that at one time they had a
tiger and said it provoked controversy and they had to
get rid of it? They had a tiger at one time.
A tiger, Bubba.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
La Tigra.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
This with him. Okay, La Tigra. Yeah, you tried to
get this moving with a tiger, you may be in
a different situation.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Did you get the area that the truck stops in?
Speaker 2 (39:40):
I see, all I see is Louisiana. G-R-O-S-S-E, capital T-E-T-E.
No idea, buddy.
Speaker 7 (39:51):
Sound like you spelled grassette.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Might be. Grassette.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
What about T?
Speaker 2 (39:57):
They got that camel down there, grassette.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
How would you pronounce T-E-T-E?
Speaker 7 (40:03):
Grassetti.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
You know, they got that camel over down there at
the truck stop at grassetti.
Speaker 7 (40:08):
Look, I ought to get an A for effort.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Hey, you mess with that camel, he'll try to sit
on you.
Speaker 7 (40:13):
Yeah, that ain't grassetti.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Gouge it, driver. Put it to the flow. No, Greg, no,
you went somewhere else. Okay, I'm sorry. But anyway, all right,
so here's what happened.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
A Florida woman is there and stops.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Traveling with her dog, first mistake.
Speaker 4 (40:25):
And she's going to get out and let her dog
have a break.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
Got to pee.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
But the dog, which was not on the leash, which
they are in trouble for this, the dog was not
on the leash. The dog ran into what I guess
was an enclosure at Tiger Truck Stop. Instead of a tiger,
they now have a camel. The camel's name is Casper. Oh, Casper.
So she chased her dog into Casper's enclosure, and then
(40:54):
the 600-pound camel sat on her because he sees this
as a threat. So he's going to use his weight
to crush.
Speaker 4 (41:01):
And that's the way they neutralize threats is they will
sit on you.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
And she's going to tell you how women neutralize a
big camel or anyone who would try to sit on them.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
Clearly she was peeing under him.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
She definitely was. There's no doubt about that. I'm going
to handle this. She did not handle it gingerly, but
I'm going to. She bit the animal at the area
that was nearest to her face. Rick, we're going to.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
Say for this story, she bit the animal in the private.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (41:33):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
You went ahead and told it. And there it is.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Look on the screen.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
So, guys.
Speaker 7 (41:39):
Please look. Where did you find that, Adler?
Speaker 2 (41:42):
Adler, Adler, Adler. He'll get in there and he'll show anything.
He'll find something.
Speaker 7 (41:47):
He will.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
He'll find something.
Speaker 7 (41:49):
A little fella.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
Now, once this woman did apply a bite to this area,
the camel indeed got up and left.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
It got up. They stood up. Oh, yeah. Wouldn't you?
Speaker 7 (41:59):
Oh, yes.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
While screaming.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
Now, the woman had to be carried to the hospital
to be checked out.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 4 (42:04):
And I might add, she might need to stop at
the dentist also.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
They said the first thing she said is, anybody got floss?
Speaker 11 (42:15):
But anyway, about some Listerine.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
But the Campbell did stand up in all fairness, and
it did work. And so the woman who manages the
truck stop said that– And now they're talking about the tiger.
That's not even about them.
Speaker 4 (42:39):
Yeah, she said they never had a problem when the
tiger was there. And she said that they have not
had a problem with the camel, that he basically was
just doing the natural thing he would do in a
defensive situation, that is sit on a threat that was
close to him. And she called him, Rick, a gentle giant.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
What the? Well, let's go back to this again. This is, Bubba,
here we are again at the circle of life.
Speaker 4 (43:03):
When I first saw that, I thought it said something.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
The circle of life has happened again. The camel did
what he naturally does to stop a potential foe, and
the woman did what a woman naturally does to get
somebody big off of you that's male. Yep, that's true.
Speaker 7 (43:18):
Now, Bubba, you've missed this part in the story.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
They both have done their natural thing.
Speaker 7 (43:23):
Since it was in Louisiana, it turns out Coach O
was there, and I'd like to hear what he had
to say.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
I didn't get ready here. I wasn't ready.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
I hope you've seen the Ozron.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
We're racking up points down here. I'm going to shout out,
go talk.
Speaker 4 (43:39):
That's so good.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
That's so good. Would y'all do this to get the
camel off of you? Oh, my gosh. Or my arm strap.
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 7 (43:53):
You're pinned.
Speaker 4 (43:54):
You're pinned.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
I think you're pinned. I'm going to punch first. Your
arm's a trap. Your arm's a trap.
Speaker 7 (43:59):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
Your arm's a trap.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
The only thing you got at your disposal to use
is what she did.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
You can't let it sit on you and crush you?
Am I certain I'm dead if I don't do this?
Speaker 3 (44:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
Am I just injured? Will I survive it without you? Well,
you can't. But what kind of life do I have
left when I come back to work? Well, here? I
don't know if you can. I could never come back
to work. This is another career. Would you rather be
crushed or come back to work here? I think crushed.
Speaker 7 (44:27):
I mean, clearly.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
After that.
Speaker 4 (44:30):
This is what you do. You do what you have
to to get up.
Speaker 3 (44:34):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (44:35):
Once that you can breathe and you can walk again,
you calmly walk inside the truck stop. You demand the
tape from the security cameras, and you take it and
you walk out.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
And you tell everybody there, if anybody mentions this to
anybody I work with, I will find a way to
kill every one of you.
Speaker 7 (44:49):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
You saw what I did to the camel. It could
be worse for you. Because if the guys at work
find out about it, no one could ever bring sausage
balls again.
Speaker 9 (44:56):
No.
Speaker 7 (44:57):
You can't do anything.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
The jokes. Every time they come in, I'll be going, well,
here we go.
Speaker 5 (45:02):
Hey, Rick, you going to get something?
Speaker 2 (45:03):
Here we go.
Speaker 7 (45:04):
You better hurry.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
Hurry before Rick gets them. I mean, that's what you
would have for the rest of your life. But the
woman did what she had to do.
Speaker 7 (45:12):
I'm really happy.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
Y'all have grown.
Speaker 4 (45:14):
This camel weighs 600 pounds. 600 pounds.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
They were given a summons, trespassing charge for not having
their dog on a leash. So they were punished for that.
But they're also punished for being traumatized for the rest
of their lives. When's the next time your husband gives
you a kiss? Okay. It's going to be a while.
What if you made national news because of that? You
(45:40):
do realize that.
Speaker 3 (45:41):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
It did work, and it would work. That's pretty quick
thinking on her part.
Speaker 9 (45:46):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
Hey, I got to do this.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
Here it goes.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
More Rick and Bubba next.
Speaker 3 (45:49):
Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba.
Speaker 2 (45:55):
Many times you hear some of our friends say, if
only we could have health care like the rest of
the world. If only we could be more like the
more socialistic countries. Well, a patient at a hospital in
England would probably disagree today.
Speaker 4 (46:08):
Rick, the story says sometimes saying sorry just isn't enough.
In England, a man was accidentally circumcised in a surgery
that he was not supposed to have. The man was
70 years old. He was supposed to undergo basically the
old camera to the urinary bladder.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
Which is not pleasant. That's not pleasant. Between the two,
I don't know which one. Because you don't want to
know where they have to enter. Oh, yeah. It is
not good.
Speaker 4 (46:39):
Anytime the medical world is entering, it's not good.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
They made it a little easier.
Speaker 7 (46:44):
They did.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
They did make it easier. That's a good point, Greg.
Speaker 10 (46:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (46:48):
So he's there basically to get his bladder checked out,
and they do this accidentally. Now, they have agreed to
settle the case for roughly $ 24, 000. I don't think that's enough.
Speaker 11 (47:03):
I thought it was until we started getting some calls
earlier and people describing it's kind of like, you know,
the older you are when you get your tonsils out,
the worse it is.
Speaker 7 (47:09):
I think the same thing falls out here.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
Well, yeah, Greg. When I was circumcised, I didn't know
who I was.
Speaker 3 (47:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
It was pretty bad, though. I didn't walk for a year.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
What's up, man?
Speaker 2 (47:30):
I've used that before, but it's always a good one.
That's the winner every time. Every time.
Speaker 4 (47:34):
We've covered this topic on the show before in depth. And,
you know, I just– I don't know. I still think
it's pretty common that most people get that done early, right?
Speaker 2 (47:48):
Well, listen, don't miss this. I think there's situations that
come up that people have to have it later.
Speaker 3 (47:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:53):
Well, some people, you know, their family.
Speaker 7 (47:55):
We had a 28-year-old, 27-year-old in the kickoff hours. Yeah,
I heard him. He had some kind of– well, he
didn't tell us this. We had to talk to him
off the air. But he had some kind of cancer
or something that required this to– was it cancer?
Speaker 11 (48:09):
I think it's skin cancer, he said.
Speaker 2 (48:11):
Which was strange.
Speaker 7 (48:13):
Well, to your point, the bottom line is– There was
something else that happened that required him to have this.
Speaker 11 (48:16):
And I won't go into detail, but there is a
situation that sometimes occurs that they have to do that.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
No, you're right.
Speaker 2 (48:21):
We had that happen with a guy I went to
school with, remember?
Speaker 9 (48:23):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (48:23):
Sadly, one of his friends told the teacher that, why
he was absent. That's right. Do you remember that?
Speaker 9 (48:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
We were all waiting on him when he came back.
Speaker 7 (48:29):
And for the record, the 28-year-old said it was one
of the most painful things he's ever been through.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
Well, yeah. Yeah. I think so.
Speaker 3 (48:35):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:36):
A blade to that area?
Speaker 3 (48:37):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (48:38):
I mean, go to the Bible. You remember when they
did the dupe trick on the group that had treated
the sister very bad, and the brothers went in there
and convinced them that it was all good? They just
needed to become part of the– gang the tribes of
abraham sure they need to go ahead and take the
mark and it said the reason why they were able
to kill all of them that they were all laying
(48:58):
in their tents trying to recover uh when they and
they went.
Speaker 7 (49:02):
In technology has come a long way we've got procedures
we're in that area where we're up and bouncing around
in three days.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
Oh old school saying you you stand you stand in
line somebody's got a flint rock you know what i mean.
Speaker 7 (49:15):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
You're not wanting that. Did you say that?
Speaker 7 (49:18):
He did.
Speaker 4 (49:18):
I don't think I can stand up right now.
Speaker 2 (49:22):
But that's the reason why it's usually a decision that's
made as the Bible calls for. For 24 grand is
a little low. Yeah, that's a low. You do that
while the child is a baby. And if that's not
your choice, then sadly, if you have a health issue
or in this case a mistaken identity— You wouldn't want
it later in life. It's just not one of those
things you want later in life. But this is the
(49:44):
part I don't get, what you guys just talked about. Now,
certainly we know because of what he was there for,
there clearly had been a numbing agent. of some kind.
Speaker 4 (49:54):
Yeah, I don't think he's even under during this. It
says he was talking to the staff, not paying attention
to what they were doing.
Speaker 2 (50:01):
Yeah, they mixed up who they were doing. So somebody
was waiting on... My hand is in the air. I
know he's not asleep, but he certainly can't feel down
in that area.
Speaker 3 (50:07):
No, no.
Speaker 2 (50:08):
Because if someone circumcises you at 70, you can't continue
your conversation.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
No, it's a local. It's a local deal. No, you
don't feel it. You just feel some tugging and pulling.
Speaker 11 (50:20):
Somebody got a camera running in there that wasn't counting
on that either because they said they actually had the
patients mixed up.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
I don't know if they did the other one, but
they had him mixed up with somebody else. I wonder
which one's worse. Well, there's a local, so you don't
feel it either way, do you?
Speaker 7 (50:33):
Depends on what kind of check the other guy got.
Speaker 3 (50:35):
Oh, man.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
Mm-hmm. What would you be paid more for? We accidentally
ran a camera in there, or are we accidentally circumcised?
Speaker 7 (50:42):
I think circumcision. You're getting a bigger check.
Speaker 3 (50:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (50:45):
And I don't think that check's enough.
Speaker 2 (50:46):
$ 24, 000 is low.
Speaker 3 (50:48):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 2 (50:48):
I wonder if they give it back to you with
the money. What's wrong with you?
Speaker 9 (50:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (50:56):
I mean, there's nothing you can do with it.
Speaker 7 (50:57):
He's tracking with his brother today.
Speaker 3 (50:59):
He is.
Speaker 1 (50:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (51:00):
There's nothing you can do with it. But, I mean,
would they say our bad? Hey, this is on us.
I got a really good joke.
Speaker 7 (51:06):
Imagine that conversation.
Speaker 2 (51:07):
No, don't. Don't do it. Put this in your photo
album or something. Sorry about that.
Speaker 7 (51:09):
Good news, bad news. Bad news is we're going to
have to come back and run the camera up. We
didn't do that procedure.
Speaker 3 (51:16):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 7 (51:17):
However, however, we got some good news for you. We
went ahead and circumcised you while we were down there.
Speaker 2 (51:21):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 7 (51:22):
That's not a good conversation.
Speaker 2 (51:23):
We're going to let you heal up, and then we're
going to do the camera thing. You know what it is?
He's 70. He said, I almost made it. Yeah, really.
Speaker 4 (51:29):
Rick, here are the numbers from the World Health Organization.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
And the other guy's got to have a circumcision.
Speaker 3 (51:32):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (51:34):
When it comes to circumcision rates in the United States,
it's between 75% and 92%. But most Western European countries,
in contrast, is less than 20%.
Speaker 2 (51:46):
Yeah, but they don't use deodorant either. Or brush their teeth.
Speaker 11 (51:50):
You know we have a movement in this country that
claims it's... Because the kid can't tell you whether he
wants it or not.
Speaker 2 (51:59):
Do you remember Dr. Dean Adele got on a big
kick about that for a while, and finally everybody just
ignored him. It's just a better presentation if nothing else.
Speaker 7 (52:07):
There it is again.
Speaker 2 (52:08):
Oh, gosh. What's wrong with that?
Speaker 7 (52:11):
We really thought we would get in trouble this morning
by talking about it on the kickoff hour. We actually
had that conversation, we thought. We actually said.
Speaker 4 (52:18):
Speedy was being the voice of reason, and I appreciate that.
Even during the break, we questioned even talking. We thought, man,
freaking Bubba here is talking about this this morning.
Speaker 7 (52:27):
They're not going to like it.
Speaker 2 (52:28):
Well, there's a way to talk about it. You don't
have to get crude about it.
Speaker 7 (52:32):
And we did that. I felt like we did a
good job with that this morning.
Speaker 2 (52:35):
You don't have to be crude. Speedy got a little crude,
but that's fine.
Speaker 7 (52:36):
There was that one joke Greg told off-air, but that
was off-air. And he forgot we're on YouTube during the break.
Speaker 2 (52:43):
But it's fine. What he said about all that, so
far it's been very comical.
Speaker 7 (52:47):
I'm going to tell you, Greg's got several really good jokes.
Really good jokes about it.
Speaker 2 (52:53):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (52:53):
You didn't tell.
Speaker 7 (52:54):
I thought we handled it well.
Speaker 4 (52:55):
You remember when we were having this discussion before, and
you were making the point of the presentation, but we
had some people that were claiming that it— Oh.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
You're going to go here. Oh, I know where he's headed.
I do, too. So you're going to go here. There
he is.
Speaker 4 (53:12):
Well, some people were claiming that to get this procedure
done dulled your sensitivity in that area. I mean, I'm
just talking about the facts of what this debate was about.
There's a documentary on, I think it's Netflix.
Speaker 2 (53:23):
I notice you're holding your punchline. Well, but that's okay.
There's two punchlines.
Speaker 4 (53:28):
You may remember, if you remember the show, I replied
to him.
Speaker 2 (53:32):
I do remember this, yes.
Speaker 4 (53:33):
I said, I don't think I can take any more sensitivity.
I almost black out now.
Speaker 2 (53:44):
And actually a good point.
Speaker 4 (53:46):
I mean.
Speaker 7 (53:48):
I don't know where to look.
Speaker 2 (53:49):
I don't either.
Speaker 7 (53:50):
I'm going to look at nobody.
Speaker 11 (53:51):
So you don't feel like you've been shortchanged.
Speaker 7 (53:53):
You haven't been robbed of anything.
Speaker 2 (53:55):
Nah.
Speaker 4 (53:56):
I think I'm getting all I can handle.
Speaker 2 (54:02):
There it was. That's funny. So funny. I wasn't going
to do phone calls here, but I don't know.
Speaker 3 (54:13):
Oh, boy.
Speaker 7 (54:14):
That's chancy, Rick.
Speaker 2 (54:16):
866-WeBeBig. We'll be right back. Some guys we won't talk
about Hillary Clinton's tweets for a long time.
Speaker 7 (54:21):
We'll talk to him.
Speaker 2 (54:22):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba.
Hey, it's Speedy, and this is Rick and Bubba's Greatest Hits,
flashing back through 31 years of radio gold every Saturday morning,
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
It's Rick and Bubba's Greatest Hits.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Rick, hang on just a minute. Someone had sent me
a story, and it's called The Five Legendary Monsters of
French Folklore. So they do have some monsters.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, Adler was asking Frenchie in the break about these,
and he was giving a yes. Can we get Frenchie
in here? I'm going to ask him. Frenchie, come back.
I'd like Adler in here, too. Frenchie, come back.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Really?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah, because if he could pull up the website he
was on, because he was going through the list.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
This one looks like a wolf or something here. There's
all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Gabriel, we found information Bubba wants to ask you about.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
French, come here. Just come over here, man.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, you can say... Come here.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Five legendary monsters of France. You familiar with this one? Yes.
How do you say that?
Speaker 5 (01:00):
La Bête du Gévaudan.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
What's that?
Speaker 5 (01:02):
La Bête du Gévaudan.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Are you familiar with this monster?
Speaker 6 (01:05):
I have already heard this name, but I don't know
really what it is.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
You don't know what it is?
Speaker 7 (01:11):
It sounded like a dessert. It did.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
It looks like they catch it on fire. Yeah, it
looks like a wolf. Now, what is this one here?
Speaker 5 (01:20):
I don't know this one.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Can you pronounce it? And what is that? Never heard
of it?
Speaker 5 (01:27):
It's an animal between turtle.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
A turtle?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Ricky, it looks like a dragon with a turtle shell
on it that has horns coming out of it and
some kind of crazy face. But it's said to be
the servant of death, and it's depicted in... I don't
like the servant of death. I'm reading this one up here.
It's actually a skeleton, Rick, draped in a black cloak
(01:57):
and holding an arrow or spear.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
That's not the turtle?
Speaker 4 (02:01):
No, it's the next one down. I had them off. Now,
what is this one here?
Speaker 5 (02:04):
I don't know this one.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
How do you say it?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
That's the one that looks like a turtle.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
He needs to work on this word in English. He
struggles with turtle. Say turtle. Turtle. Turtle.
Speaker 8 (02:17):
Turtle.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Turtle. Turtle. Turtle. Hey, relax it.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Go.
Speaker 8 (02:21):
Turtle.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Turtle.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
No, no, look.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
See, turtle. So they talk right here. He can't make
his mouth not do it.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
Turtle.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Turtle. That's better.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
That's better.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
It said it's a legendary beast that haunted the marshes
and riverbeds, especially between some areas there. It's described as
part dragon, snake, or crocodile with a lion's head, and
a tortoise shell.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Wow. Never quite a common name. Have you heard of
any of these?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
La Bête du Givaudan, yes.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Which one?
Speaker 7 (02:51):
Careful.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
La Bête du Givaudan.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
You've heard of it? The first one?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Yes. Yes.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
What was it, the wolf thing, Bubba?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Was that the first? No, this is a giant bear
that would eat young shepherds and their flocks.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Oh, boy.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
So you've heard of it?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Have you ever seen it?
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Yes, of course.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I hear they're in Burgundy.
Speaker 7 (03:11):
This one here.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
How do you say that?
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Saramuga. But it's not a French name.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It's not?
Speaker 9 (03:18):
No.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Well, don't talk down to us. We didn't know.
Speaker 7 (03:22):
It sounded Russian.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
It looks like a troll, and it says it comes
into your room at night and sits on your chest
and stops you from breathing correctly.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Are you afraid of that, Frenchy?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
No.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
What is this one?
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Le cheval mali.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
That sounds like a great dinner.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
Would you like one?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I would like the Luce of Alamele. It's a white horse?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Yeah, this one, Rick, is a white horse. It's a
beautiful white horse, but evil.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Oh, oh.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
It would appear at night alongside tired travelers in parts
of western France. The horse would be ready to ride
with a saddle and tempt the exhausted travelers to climb
on board and rest their legs, only to be thrown
off when the horse would run and jump over a cliff.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (04:10):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Wow. You got to watch him, white horse. I saw
one out in the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
You sure did.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I may have seen this thing. Remember when I was
a kid. Okay, well, let's see. We've had a couple
of bad horses. What is this one, Frank?
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Le Croque-Mittaine.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Now, this is children are often threatened with this frightening
and evil creature to forbid them from going somewhere they
shouldn't go. It hides in rivers, lakes.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
And in the winter, they can eat little children's noses
and fingers.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
What? No, not their.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Noses and fingers. You're out there fishing in these streams
and creeks. Have you ever seen it?
Speaker 8 (04:44):
No.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Somebody help me.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
With Hadler, I remember another legend. Its name is Dau.
It's a dog, a mix between dog, horse, dog, dog.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Horse, and coat.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Goat?
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Cow.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Is he saying dog or Doug?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Dog.
Speaker 9 (05:09):
Dog?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
A dog named Doug.
Speaker 7 (05:10):
I thought, what Doug do?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
So you do know that one? Have you ever seen it?
Speaker 7 (05:14):
No.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Have you ever seen it? No.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Never?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
What is this one, Rick?
Speaker 5 (05:19):
No.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
This, Rick, is a creature. It's a man or a
woman with a dark soul. And it is possessed by Satan.
And at midnight, they transform themselves into animals, often wolves.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
We've met her.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
But they also can be foxes, boars, goats, or cats.
And they spend the night roaming the forest, eating people
who have committed the seven deadly sins.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
They'd be full on this guy. You know this one?
Which one?
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Le Voir Lou.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Oh, you do know this one? Yes.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
I know this one.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Have you ever seen it? No.
Speaker 10 (05:55):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Did you hear about it when you were a boy?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Do you believe?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Did it scare you? Yes. It did scare you?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Yes, it's famous. I think it's the most famous of
the nine legends.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
And you were afraid of it when you were a child? Yes.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
It looks a lot like Teen Wolf.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Oh, I see it. He's pulling something up on the screen. Oh,
he's really looking. He's into it now. So he's really
heard of two on the list.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
I know this one. You don't know?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
No.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
It's like it's a man who beat children when they
are not on Wednesday.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
No, when they misbehave.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I thought he said that too. That's my dad. That's
just my dad.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
It's a picture of Coach Burgess.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
They called that coach where I was from. I wish
we could see what y'all are looking at.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
A whip?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
A whip?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yes, a whip.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
They would whip the kids when they misbehaved.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
Oh, wow, that's America.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
It's in Germany.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
It is with the good man who give a gift
to children.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
You know what, Santa Claus? Robin Hood?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
This is like the opposite of Santa Claus, Rick. And
he would either leave charcoal instead of sweets, or he
would beat children with a bag of coal.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
That's Krampus.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Another nickname for him directly translated would be Father Whipper.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Oh, look, that looks like Adler. Have you ever seen
him before? No. You haven't seen any of these? Did
you ever get cold for Christmas and get a baby?
Speaker 5 (07:35):
In Germany, it's very famous.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
In Germany?
Speaker 10 (07:37):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Very famous. Have you ever been dumped on? Were you
afraid of him?
Speaker 7 (07:42):
No.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
No, because you're not in Germany?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
No.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Do you think he would ever come over to France?
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Maybe, because in some region of France, close to Germany,
is it?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
We'll see there. He's awful close.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
He's getting over there. Frenchie, do you know why James
is crying? What? Can you say, because he just got
dunked on?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
What is dunked on?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
In basketball. So when Greg is going to ask you
why James is crying, and you say, because he just
got dunked on.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Because he just got dunked on.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
That's it. Yeah, but you got to kind of scream
it like... Say, because he just got dunked on. Say
it like that.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Because he just got dunked on.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yes. Why is James crying? Why is James crying?
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Because he just get dunked on.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Let him hear it, Rick. He didn't have anybody here.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Look right here, Frenchie.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
See, that's what we're doing. That's what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Got it?
Speaker 10 (08:52):
Greg, his face is like, okay.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
But why?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
But why?
Speaker 10 (08:58):
So if somebody says, like if I say, Why Bubba crying?
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Because he just get down down.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
You got it.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Why is Gabe crying?
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Because he just get down down.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
He's got it. Why Speedy crying?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Because he just get down down.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
We got it now.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
You see, he's starting to add a little flavor to
it now. We're getting on the road. This is an
ongoing thing with Gary and me.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Oh, boy.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
And, Greg, you said it, and some people don't get it. Greg, really,
it is. I know it's not your original thought, but
you're the one who brought it here. Really, the world
would all be better off, Rick Burgess included, if we
had a very keen sense of when to shutter a
hole and know a rope. You know, now that they
(10:14):
have something that's a little milder now called stay in
your lane. Yes. That's becoming popular again now. It's overused.
Stay in your lane. But really, where we grew up,
it was called shut your hole and know your role.
There it is. Don't get out of your area. That's
your space. And I realize that when it comes to
Gary that I'm second to Alria. I know this. You
(10:37):
know it going in. Alria is Gary's favorite client. And
those of you that know Gary, and you've heard him
on the show a lot, many adventures of Gary. And he–
He works for various people who have land, and he
does roads and greenfields and bush hogging and building all
kinds of dams and build ponds. I mean, he builds
(11:00):
houses and cabins and entranceways, gates. Hey, I mean, you know,
if there's something you need done, I mean, you know,
you can hire somebody. I mean, they won't do no better.
I mean, you can't find no help. And he's had
a fallout with a guy that used to work with him.
This guy's– Oh, I can't believe that. Well, you know,
Gary having a fallout. I'll tell you why Gary has
ended up working alone is because he doesn't like anybody.
(11:22):
There's nobody Gary likes. There's that. You don't want to
do him. That guy's an idiot. Thank you, Gary. And
the problem that Gary has is, on one hand, Gary
constantly complains that he can't find any help and that
he's being worked to the bone. That's over here. Now,
(11:43):
this is what Gary's got to figure out. But over here,
he will not allow you to hire anybody but him
to do something. Now, those two things are mutually exclusive.
You can't say you got too much, and then when
I say, well, I'll put this up. Hey, you don't
want him to do it. They charge you an arm
and leg, and they an idiot. They won't do half job,
(12:03):
I do. But what Gary doesn't understand is, but when
projects are finished, then I'm pleased. I really don't care
who did it. You know what I mean? Yeah, as
opposed to he's at odds with me about the pond. Hey,
I could have done that, cleaned that stuff around the pond,
and you ain't going to tell me how much you
paid for that. Yeah, but see, it's done. And it's over,
(12:26):
and it's not a mess. Okay, it looks great. And
so I think Gary sometimes thinks, I don't know what
he thinks my budget is, and certainly we want to
be good stewards, but sometimes I just want it done.
Because if not, we just keep it. This thing, there
we go. You know the line you talk about, and
(12:46):
we kid around a lot, but there's a line, and
I can sometimes be on the wrong side of it
the other way. I will openly admit that. There's a
line of being a good steward and just being cheap.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
And it's a line. And there's also a line of
just throwing money that's unnecessary at some point. Well, that's
your ruler. It's nickel, dime, and then throwing money away.
And I can sometimes, because I don't like to be hassled,
I probably sometimes could use probably another estimate or two. Okay?
(13:20):
But I'm just ready. I really don't mind, unless it's unreasonable.
I don't really mind paying a little more to get
it done right. And timely. And timely. I really don't.
You know, I'm not saving money if the thing I
need done is never done. I mean, that didn't save
me anything. I mean, it's like that. I mean, what
(13:41):
did that do for me? And so, you know, and
so we get in. And then so I come down there,
and I realize I hear him talking about, hey, I
went over to Al Regas. He didn't believe all the
feed we had to put out. I said, yeah, that's great, man.
I'm glad for Al. I get down there to the
farm yesterday getting ready for hunting season. The feeder's empty.
(14:02):
And then Gary's out there working on something else. And
I'm like, yeah, I went to see the feeder. It's empty. Well,
I mean, hey, I ain't had time because I got
this other thing going on. Yeah, but owls are full.
I bet they're full to the brim. Spilling out, Rick.
I bet owls just got feed spilling everywhere. More feed
than he needs. So many deer under there eating them.
And I told him, I said, Gary, I understand my role,
(14:23):
and I will shut my hole. There's no telling what
Alria pays you, and he's got cash laying around. He
can't spend it. And I'm not in his league, and
I got it. I know my place. But I'll go
get the feed, and I can handle it. I'm perfectly
capable of putting feed in feeders. Now, see, you do that,
and people say, you're too nice to people. You'll overspend
(14:45):
for the feed, and just let me handle it. And
I'm like, what? But letting you handle it's great, but
it has to be done. I mean, it's just like
I don't mind doing it. I'm perfectly capable of it.
I'm not. No, you don't. I mean, you live over
in Birmingham. You don't know how to do this kind
of stuff. You'll mess it up. And I'm like, I
can't mess up pouring feed in a feeder. How hard
(15:07):
is that? It's hard to mess that up. Now, at
the times you do it, what's different?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
What's the technique? Yeah. Top's not on tight, right? And
every time I get around him, he's got to bring
up Al. I have to hear about Al over and
over again. Now, over and over again. Yeah, okay, buddy.
I got you. And so then it's like we– and see,
we have people that can do the job. It's almost
(15:34):
like he thinks that that world down there lives– it's
a completely different kingdom or something. I said, hey, I
got somebody to fix that air condition over at Cherry's
little place. No, no, I got somebody I'll call. Let
me handle it. You don't need to handle it. Somebody
will be down here and they'll overcharge you. Like that.
So I go down there this past week. I walk
in the house. It's hot again. I said, Gary, the
(15:55):
air conditioning, it's hot in the house again. Really? He
said he fixed it. I said, see, this is that
thing I'm trying to tell you. I sent an invoice
to this guy, whoever he is, okay, some friend of Gary's.
And then I came down here, and it was cool
one day, and it was working. But then I came
back a few weeks later, and now it's hot again.
So that money really went right up a hog's butt. Now,
(16:20):
it might have been less expensive than the people I
would have hired because they got to go a little further,
but they would have fixed it. And so then that
little bit of money that I paid the people that
would have fixed it, not put a Band-Aid on it, well,
he said he put some Freon in it and he
thought he'd probably use it until it got cool again.
That was our plan. So there's a Freon leak, so
(16:40):
we just fill it up and hope it doesn't run
out before it gets cool again in Alabama?
Speaker 6 (16:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
What kind of plan is that? Fix it. Well, I mean,
that's going to cost. Yeah, I know it's going to cost, but.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
We'll be cold. It'll work!
Speaker 2 (16:57):
What good is it? Hey, they gave you a good
deal on that.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
It's not a good deal if it didn't work!
Speaker 10 (17:08):
It's 90 degrees in here!
Speaker 9 (17:10):
Literally.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
So it didn't work!
Speaker 5 (17:14):
That was money up a hog's butt!
Speaker 2 (17:18):
What did that accomplish? What did that accomplish? I think
they thought it'd last. So in other words, so you're saying, hey,
but really the amount you paid, it stayed cool in
there for a month. That's about right. Yeah, but I
want it always cold. That's about right. Is that it? What,
am I paying to have it cool for a little while? Yeah.
So every so often I'll pay for Freon to come
(17:39):
in and leak back out? What kind of plan is this?
Here's your rate if you want it cool for a month.
And if you want it fixed, it's a whole nother one. No,
I want it fixed. Completely fixed. If it has to
be another air conditioning unit, fine.
Speaker 10 (17:51):
Fix it.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Well, he thought it'd be enough for him until he
got killed again. Where does he live? We're not in Alaska.
I mean, in Alaska, that plan might work.
Speaker 10 (18:03):
Really?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Let's fix it, right?
Speaker 4 (18:05):
This is good for you, Bubba.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Rick and Bubba.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
A couple of things we have to talk about, Bubba.
We have a tourist that has fallen. Oh, my goodness.
I mean, the geysers there at Yellowstone.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
This is not the worst. If you read on, they
talk about several accidents they've had there.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Oh, faithful.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Oh, really?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
A tourist who was visiting Yellowstone National Park on Sunday
suffered severe thermal burns after he tripped into a hot
spring near Old Faithful Geyser, according to local reports. The man, 48,
a U.S. citizen who lives in India, told rangers... He
was walking without a flashlight at the time of the fall.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Not a way to go, buddy.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
He managed to get back to his hotel room and
was eventually flown to the burn center at Idaho Hospital,
where he's listed in critical condition. Park Rangers said they
detected evidence of alcohol use back in his hotel room.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Sure they did.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Of course.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Sure they did.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
The park has about 500 geysers, Rick, and Park Rangers...
are able to predict the eruption time of about six
of them, including Old Faithful, which has only lengthened the
time between eruptions by about 30 minutes in the last
30 years. Four million people travel through the park each year.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Now, get this.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
In 2016, Colin Nathaniel Scott, 23, of Portland, Oregon, left
the boardwalk section near the geyser and fell into a
high-temperature acidic spring. Recovery efforts were called off after rangers
determined there were no remains left in the hot spring.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Hello. We did this story. Do you remember this? Because
he left the trail.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
It dissolved him up.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Mm-mm.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Up.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Hey, baby, she's gone.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
We've always said if you drop your keys in a
hot molten lava, baby.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
They're gone.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
I think we should include if you fall into an
acidic spring by Old Faithful, hey, baby, you're gone.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Let me bring up something, and I know this is
going to be a little uncomfortable, but we all know
that once we pass... you know, the body decomposes and
we go back to nothing, okay?
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Dust to dust.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
So would this be, if we start right out of
the room, could this be another option for you to
do your ceremony, you're done, everything's fine, you do the memorial,
you pay.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
And they lower you into Old Faithful.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
And they lower you into Old Faithful.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Well, this is actually an acidic spring next to it.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Are this spring? And you say, I want my body
laid to rest there, and then it's gone.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Rick, the area there.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
You put a picture of the person up in your house,
and that's it. You're done.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Rick, the area there, they say, is one of the
hottest and most volatile areas of Yellowstone. You know it's
a super volcano, by the way. I think I've mentioned it.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
There we go.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Boiling water flows just beneath a thin rock crust. Water
temperatures there can easily reach 199 degrees, which is the
boiling point for water at that elevation. Now, normally it's 212.
But at that elevation, it will boil at 199. At
least 22 people are known to have died from hot
(21:15):
spring-related injuries in and around Yellowstone since 1890. Did you
know it was our first national park, too?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
You know another thing we can say today, Bubba? Drinking
and geysers do not go together.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
No, no.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Or walking around in the dark, Rick.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Add that to it. How about wandering into a Yellowstone
drunk in the dark is a thumbs down. You ask
how many things can go wrong.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
A lot, Rick.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
You know what will be left of you?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Nothing.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Which is, you know, you have to admit, that's a
little hassle, though.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I mean, it is. And I saw Speedy kind of
light up just a minute when I mentioned this possibility.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
No, Rick. I mean, there would be a charge for it,
but not near as expensive.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
No, no.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
You know what I mean? Now, so what would you
call it?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Like if you're a package guy.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
We call it the goodbye geyser. And even though it's not,
we're still going to put you in the poo, but
you're near the geysers.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
So we call it the goodbye geyser, and you come
over and you pay your respects. We celebrate. We're not
being disrespectful. We sing hymns. We read Bible verses. We
do the whole celebration of the person's life. All that's there.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
You have just like a platform and a crane lets
you down into it, and it comes back up, and
it's just the metal.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
You know how they lower down the casket? We're just
lowering you down into the acidic pool.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
And then you pull it up, and there's nothing there
but the platform.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
So you do that with the families there? Yeah, if
you want to. No, you can walk away if you
want to.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
It's an option.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
It's an option. It costs more?
Speaker 9 (22:39):
No.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
No, it's the same either way.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
And we call it the goodbye geyser. All right, everybody.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
They have a viewing area with a very sturdy rail.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Look, and you get it. So my call said, hey,
did you hear so-and-so finally passed? Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
When's the funeral?
Speaker 2 (22:51):
So when's the funeral? Well, they're going to do the
goodbye geyser.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Next week at Yellowstone.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
You ask them, you go, is this going to be
a wake? Is this going to be graveside? Is this
going to be a memorial? You say, no, it's a
goodbye geyser. And you go, oh, okay, I got you.
And then everybody knows. I mean, if you hear goodbye geyser.
You know.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
Hey, baby, you're gone.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Do you think people go just to watch? There would
be some intrigue. I mean, sadly. I'm not saying that's
the way to go, but there would be some intrigue.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Well, maybe you haven't decided what you're going to do.
You're thinking maybe cremation or, you know, I'm Baptist, I
want to bury them, or the goodbye geyser. So they
may go, well, we're having a goodbye geyser ceremony this
afternoon if you want to stick around and see it.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Come take a look.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Because you hadn't seen it before, and you go, well,
I don't know if that's for mom or not.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Right, yeah. You realize speed. Let me tell you what
you're out. Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Let's go through. Hey, you going out trying to pay
for a plot? That expense is gone. A casket? Don't
need it?
Speaker 6 (23:44):
Nope.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Monument? Don't need it?
Speaker 9 (23:46):
Nope.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
You realize how much money I'm saving you with the
goodbye geyser?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
So is a goodbye geyser, is that a lot less?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Oh, it's tremendously less.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I mean, think of all the things I said you
don't need.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Now, travel will be a factor.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Well, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 7 (24:02):
It still keeps a lower cost.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Could you recreate the goodbye geyser? In other words, let's say...
You're trying to get one local? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Well, I think the fact that it's natural. I don't
think it would be the same if you went down
to the local funeral home and they had boiling oil
down there.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
So I'm thinking of like an above-ground pool.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
You know?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
I got you. We create one local. But that's not
near as beautiful, to Bubba's point, as Yellowstone National Park.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Yeah, and that's kind of creepy.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
If it's natural, it's almost like.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
Oh, wait a minute. Now it's creepy?
Speaker 4 (24:36):
I think if it's natural, you feel more of that
dust to dust.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
That's what I'm going for.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
I don't think if you're in a chemical bath from,
you know, in a big tub, it just doesn't have
the same look.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
And let me tell my Baptists out there, it's okay.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
I mean, look, we already got cremation, so that kind
of goes to.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Well, the Lord is going to raise up everybody, including
those lost at sea.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
He's going to put you back. He put the Adams
back together no matter where they are.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
The people lost at sea.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
But I mean, I'm Baptist at heart. I mean, my
first feeling is I need to bury you.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
No question.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Because that's just what I'm used to.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, we need to.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
But I don't think it limits God by any stretch.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Well, because you're talking about Scripture already says that.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Well, yeah, if it's going to gather people out of
the ocean first, you know, they're scattered everywhere.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
People in explosions and things. The guy who fell in
the geyser, if he was a believer. I don't know.
But the bottom line is this. So this is not
beyond God's ability for you to get that perfect body.
I think it's probably just more cultural.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Right.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Oh, no, look, it's unnerving the first one you go to.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
But, I mean.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
I got news for you. I don't know if y'all
have looked around. What we do now is pretty unnerving.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
It is.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Well, yeah, if you knew the details of it.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
It's pretty unnerving.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
You know, and you made the point the other day,
there's been shows where they show you how they do
magic tricks. You don't see a lot about behind the
curtain at the old funeral home.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Don't want to know. Don't have any desire to know that.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
No.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, Helmsley's right, though. I'm sure it's some package, though.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
If you've got to go there for the goodbye geyser,
I'm sure they're working with, Yeah, we got a travel agency.
Book flights, use this airline.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
You want the Goodbye Geyser package.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
And then they have the heavenly bus ride out to
the side.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Now, do you have a Goodbye Geyser almost like a feed,
like a webcam or something for maybe.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
A family member that can't? You're getting ahead of me now.
We do offer, due to technology, you can just watch
it live.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
It's behind a paywall.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
It's a very small fee. Live streaming. Don't even have
to be there. Wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
What about if you charged Goodbye Geyser live feed and
you could have a membership and you could just watch
them all day?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Nah.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
That gets a little weird.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Something dark about that.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Next thing you know, you're killing cats.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Right.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Or losing them. Right. You can even go down to
the church and say, we got a Goodbye Geyser on
the big screen today for Miss So-and-So. Yeah. And you
don't even have to go.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
A big part of our 25-year history is.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
This year. We've had a lot of great James Spann moments.
Staying another segment with us today after giving you the
4th of July weekend forecast based on where you live.
Also today, we want to talk about his new book
called Weathering Life. James, tell us, how did you end
up doing the book? What's the story behind this?
Speaker 8 (27:17):
The deal is, we've had so many historic weather events,
say back in the 1920s and the 30s and the 40s.
We don't know that much about them. There's a little information,
but I wish that somebody that worked some of these
historic events would have jotted down some notes. And that's
what I'm trying to do. It's just make a written
(27:37):
record of some of the historic weather events that I've
worked over years.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I'm old as dirt.
Speaker 8 (27:42):
I've been doing this 41 years and a lot of
history has come under my watch. And I have worked
these weather events from a rather unique perspective, being a
professional practitioner, meteorologist in the middle of it. And I
just wanted to get this stuff down. I'm not really
a good writer. So half the deal, it's chronicling some
of these huge weather events that I've worked. And this
(28:04):
is some very deep history, and it's kind of like
inside baseball, if you like weather. But the other thing,
I see so many people that are discouraged today. And
we've all had issues, and many of us have issues
right now. A lot of people listening to this show
are discouraged, and they're having hard times. And I came
from a background, fellas, that was not the best environment. Um,
(28:26):
my dad abandoned me and my mom when I was seven.
And this was a case where my father just walked
out one night and he never came back. My father
never said goodbye. Have a nice life. See you later.
He never told me that he loved me to this day.
I don't know if he did. And he never paid
a dime of child support. And I'm not a big
family guy. It's just at that point, my family was
(28:48):
me and my mama. I have no siblings and we
were broke. And we lived in a small town in
rural South Alabama in the 60s. And that in itself
is interesting, growing up in a small town in South
Alabama in the 60s. That in itself is a story.
But life got kind of hard. And we both had
to work really hard. and in so many ways, some
(29:11):
good things came out of this. And I tell people
this all the time, I'm not good at anything I do.
And I mean that, but let me tell you something, fellas,
I will work harder than any body else to accomplish
a goal. And that work ethic came out of this
challenging background. So I tell the story of what happened
to me and, uh, accepting Christ when I was 12.
(29:34):
And of course, that was the biggest life-changing thing. And
I think people that read that book will be encouraged.
I want to be a Barnabas. There's too many trolls
and haters in the world today. If you don't believe that,
just get on the FaceBag feed that I have. It's
troll-a-rama there. I don't want to be a troll. I
want to encourage people because I see so many people
(29:54):
that need a word of encouragement.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
You know, you mentioned Barnabas. It's a gift. Yeah, you
mentioned Barnabas because it was interesting, you know, as time
goes on and if we continue the sanctification process, you know,
God will reveal to us things that we didn't even know.
You know, maybe you've been a follower of Christ for,
you know, 20 years. You're going to learn something in
Scripture if you're willing to, you know, until you die.
And I noticed always in my mind had Paul as
(30:19):
the leader and Barnabas as somebody that he was trying
to help, but it's the complete opposite. Barnabas is clear.
was the mentor for the Apostle Paul, who was his
encourager and kind of helped him get started and had
the other disciples accept him when they didn't want to
accept him because of his past history of persecuting the church.
(30:40):
And it was Barnabas that was the go-between, saying, hey,
he's one of us now, and I vouch for him.
And then you see, of course, the role that Barnabas
played in the early church and the example, as you said,
of encouragement and sacrificial giving. But you mentioned this about
your father. They didn't say Mark on the other side.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
And then Barnabas had to say, look, we'll work on
him as well. So Barnabas was that guy you brought
into conflict to try to help. So I'm glad that
you've taken that role, and you've certainly done that with
your life. But I knew a little bit of the
story of you as a boy, but something about this book,
and some of us were reading it here yesterday at
(31:18):
the studio, and when you paint that picture– of you
as the little boy and your mother dressing you up
on another promise unfulfilled by your earthly father, and you
sitting in that chair looking out that window for the
father that never came. James, you crushed us, and I
know that had to be difficult to relive, but I
(31:40):
think it's important that you did.
Speaker 8 (31:42):
Yeah, there was a lot of pain in my soul
that's still there.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
It doesn't go away.
Speaker 8 (31:48):
Maybe it fades away, but bringing back some of those memories.
But my father occasionally would promise to come by and
pick me up after he left. My mama would dress
me up and she'd sit me in a chair by
the window and I would look out waiting for his
car and he would never come, never come. And she
did this multiple times. And I often when I go
(32:09):
through Greenville, I'm from Greenville, Alabama, which is a smaller
town in Butler County between Montgomery and Mobile, which is
a marvelous community. In fact, by the way, if you
ever get a speeding ticket in Greenville, call me. My
best friend from the Cub Scouts is the mayor.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
James, I wish I had known that about two weeks ago.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
There was a lot of pain in writing that, but
I think it's an important story because, fellas, look, I'm
not alone. At the time, I thought I was the
only kid without a father, but goodness gracious, I do
children's ministry, and I see this so many times, the
pain in these kids' eyes, and I can relate to that. And,
you know, through these experiences, we're shaped. And a lot
of people listening to us are going through some really
challenging times. So it molds you and develops you into
(32:54):
who you are. But don't ever let anybody tell you
it's not hard. It's brutally hard. So I kind of
open up my soul to that. and then becoming a
man at the age of seven. I was the man
of the house at the age of seven, and I
had to work and work and work and work. I
got a job at a radio station when I was
in high school, and that kind of opened the door
for this. I loved weather, and there were some encouragers
(33:15):
that encouraged me, some men that filled the gap as
a father figure in my life, and I write about
those men. But again, some of the weather events, if
you're a weather weenie, you'll love this book. It's inside
baseball and events like April 27, 2011. That was a
generational tornado outbreak that in my state killed 252 people.
I think about that day every day, and I will
(33:36):
until the day I die. And you'll learn more about
what happened in that weather office and the things we
were going through our mind. You can watch the video
on YouTube, but you don't know what was going on
with the real story inside of there. So all that's
in the book.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
It is. So it's available now. James, can I ask
you the one thing? And if you don't want to
unpack that, that's fine, because I was just reading some
excerpts from it. Did you ever did your mom ever
tell you why your dad was it was it because
of the issues? And I won't give away, you know,
some of the parts of the book he had. He
obviously had some issues. Is that what it was tied to?
Did your mom ever say this is why your dad
(34:11):
left or was there just no explanation?
Speaker 8 (34:14):
She really didn't talk a lot about it because, quite frankly,
she didn't have all the answers. But he had an
addiction problem and he had some other issues. And in
a way, maybe it's better than he left. There could
have been some abuse.
Speaker 7 (34:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (34:28):
But whatever it happened. And I did see him. I
feel like I needed to find him. I was in
my 30s, and I tracked him down. And I think
a lot of people that go through something like this,
they feel the need to do that when they're adults
because you want to know where you came from. And
I had a chance to meet him one time 30
years after he left, and it wasn't a good experience.
(34:48):
He had a condition called alcohol dementia. And it's almost
like you're talking to a brick wall. But that was
very healing for me. And I could say some things
I needed to say to him.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yeah, I understood. Well, it's got so much. As you said,
if you want to look, there's one thing to know
the history of weather. It's another thing to know what
it was like to be in the middle of it
doing the job you do. And then, of course, obviously
the testimony of your life. Many, many people were leaning in,
just saw the latest figures for our home state because
I really feel a call to try to get involved
(35:17):
in working these plans we've done for years with men's ministry.
Because of the impact of this, but in our state
right now, we are now at 50% of the children
that are out there in just the state of Alabama
do not have a father. We're now, it is just
as likely for you to not have your father as
to have him. The two groups are the same size.
Speaker 8 (35:42):
Let me tell you, fellas, when I became a husband
and a dad, I had to figure this stuff out
on my.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Own.
Speaker 8 (35:50):
That's part of the deal. It's almost generational. So I'm
very thankful I learned it on my own.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Well, and you talked about these men, though, that stepped
in in your church, and that's kind of the thing
I'm talking about, that filled that role because they were helpful.
Speaker 7 (36:04):
Thanks a lot, James.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Thank you, Gruff.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
And thanks for doing this book, Weathering Life, available now
at rickandbubba.com. Just hit show notes. We'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey weighing in. Oh, maybe she knows.
Governor Ivey.
Speaker 9 (36:22):
Good morning, Richard. I'm so sorry to hear that Bill
is under the weather.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (36:28):
That is just a shame. Yes, I do have a comment.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
It is.
Speaker 9 (36:32):
a sort of a mystery, but it is on a
different subject.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Understood.
Speaker 9 (36:37):
I was over in the teleport area the other day,
and I noticed that someone went outside the side door there,
and I immediately went down to my motorcade, and I
got in my vehicle and saw that it was some,
I thought it was a cute little intern there with
a hair and a bun. But I realized that cute
(36:58):
little girl had a beard. I noticed that it was Mr.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
Adler.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Yeah, it was. That's right. He does have a bun
and a beard. It was Chris Adler. That's not one
of our female interns. Bun and a beard.
Speaker 10 (37:12):
No, it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
I wasn't.
Speaker 9 (37:14):
I'm very surprised. I wanted to get my clippers out.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Right, you wanted to get your clippers out. Give him
a decent haircut.
Speaker 7 (37:21):
I'm not a female intern, and I also just look
like I've been.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
Lost in the woods, but I have not.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Right, right. Well, Governor, thank you for calling, and I'm
sorry you were scared.
Speaker 9 (37:34):
Well, I do appreciate y'all and what you do here
in the state of Alabama for us, making us laugh
every day, and stand for the Lord.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Thank you.
Speaker 10 (37:42):
Hallelujah.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (37:44):
I don't know who that is, but it's excellent.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Thank you, Governor. We didn't want to bring up the blackface. Greg.
I didn't want to bring it up.
Speaker 7 (37:52):
Greg, why would you ruin a funny.
Speaker 8 (37:55):
Bit?
Speaker 2 (37:56):
So good. So the mystery of that is that is
Chris Adler, and no, he hasn't been lost, nor is
he a girl.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
No.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
No, Rick, I don't think so. So anyway, we'll get back.
More Rick and Bubba coming up. 866-WE-BE-BIG-BUBBA. Sick and out today.
She just heard the governor call in and check on him.
Why is the FBI showing up is what I want
to know. They took their notes and they left. Top
of the hour, more Rick and Bubba next.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
There's a lot of things featured in this story. One
of these, this woman doesn't end up in this situation
if she wasn't one of those people that travels with
her animals.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Rick, to begin with, there's so many things here in
this story to unpack, and we will have to handle carefully.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Well, she didn't.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
There is a truck stop in Louisiana that is a
combination truck stop and petting zoo.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
You know, we have a lot of fans in Louisiana,
and every one of them said, what's the big deal?
Of course there is.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Rick, I don't know. I guess just in my soul,
I think when I hear that, that that could lend
itself to problems. Truck stop and petting zoo.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Yeah, and it did.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
There's a lot of jokes there. You can just hold those.
But that just seems a strange combination to me.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Did you see that at one time they had a
tiger and said it provoked controversy and they had to
get rid of it? They had a tiger at one time.
A tiger, Bubba.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
La Tigra.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
This with him. Okay, La Tigra. Yeah, you tried to
get this moving with a tiger, you may be in
a different situation.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Did you get the area that the truck stops in?
Speaker 2 (39:40):
I see, all I see is Louisiana. G-R-O-S-S-E, capital T-E-T-E.
No idea, buddy.
Speaker 7 (39:51):
Sound like you spelled grassette.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Might be. Grassette.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
What about T?
Speaker 2 (39:57):
They got that camel down there, grassette.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
How would you pronounce T-E-T-E?
Speaker 7 (40:03):
Grassetti.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
You know, they got that camel over down there at
the truck stop at grassetti.
Speaker 7 (40:08):
Look, I ought to get an A for effort.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Hey, you mess with that camel, he'll try to sit
on you.
Speaker 7 (40:13):
Yeah, that ain't grassetti.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Gouge it, driver. Put it to the flow. No, Greg, no,
you went somewhere else. Okay, I'm sorry. But anyway, all right,
so here's what happened.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
A Florida woman is there and stops.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Traveling with her dog, first mistake.
Speaker 4 (40:25):
And she's going to get out and let her dog
have a break.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
Got to pee.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
But the dog, which was not on the leash, which
they are in trouble for this, the dog was not
on the leash. The dog ran into what I guess
was an enclosure at Tiger Truck Stop. Instead of a tiger,
they now have a camel. The camel's name is Casper. Oh, Casper.
So she chased her dog into Casper's enclosure, and then
(40:54):
the 600-pound camel sat on her because he sees this
as a threat. So he's going to use his weight
to crush.
Speaker 4 (41:01):
And that's the way they neutralize threats is they will
sit on you.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
And she's going to tell you how women neutralize a
big camel or anyone who would try to sit on them.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
Clearly she was peeing under him.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
She definitely was. There's no doubt about that. I'm going
to handle this. She did not handle it gingerly, but
I'm going to. She bit the animal at the area
that was nearest to her face. Rick, we're going to.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
Say for this story, she bit the animal in the private.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (41:33):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
You went ahead and told it. And there it is.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Look on the screen.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
So, guys.
Speaker 7 (41:39):
Please look. Where did you find that, Adler?
Speaker 2 (41:42):
Adler, Adler, Adler. He'll get in there and he'll show anything.
He'll find something.
Speaker 7 (41:47):
He will.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
He'll find something.
Speaker 7 (41:49):
A little fella.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
Now, once this woman did apply a bite to this area,
the camel indeed got up and left.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
It got up. They stood up. Oh, yeah. Wouldn't you?
Speaker 7 (41:59):
Oh, yes.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
While screaming.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
Now, the woman had to be carried to the hospital
to be checked out.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 4 (42:04):
And I might add, she might need to stop at
the dentist also.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
They said the first thing she said is, anybody got floss?
Speaker 11 (42:15):
But anyway, about some Listerine.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
But the Campbell did stand up in all fairness, and
it did work. And so the woman who manages the
truck stop said that– And now they're talking about the tiger.
That's not even about them.
Speaker 4 (42:39):
Yeah, she said they never had a problem when the
tiger was there. And she said that they have not
had a problem with the camel, that he basically was
just doing the natural thing he would do in a
defensive situation, that is sit on a threat that was
close to him. And she called him, Rick, a gentle giant.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
What the? Well, let's go back to this again. This is, Bubba,
here we are again at the circle of life.
Speaker 4 (43:03):
When I first saw that, I thought it said something.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
The circle of life has happened again. The camel did
what he naturally does to stop a potential foe, and
the woman did what a woman naturally does to get
somebody big off of you that's male. Yep, that's true.
Speaker 7 (43:18):
Now, Bubba, you've missed this part in the story.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
They both have done their natural thing.
Speaker 7 (43:23):
Since it was in Louisiana, it turns out Coach O
was there, and I'd like to hear what he had
to say.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
I didn't get ready here. I wasn't ready.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
I hope you've seen the Ozron.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
We're racking up points down here. I'm going to shout out,
go talk.
Speaker 4 (43:39):
That's so good.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
That's so good. Would y'all do this to get the
camel off of you? Oh, my gosh. Or my arm strap.
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 7 (43:53):
You're pinned.
Speaker 4 (43:54):
You're pinned.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
I think you're pinned. I'm going to punch first. Your
arm's a trap. Your arm's a trap.
Speaker 7 (43:59):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
Your arm's a trap.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
The only thing you got at your disposal to use
is what she did.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
You can't let it sit on you and crush you?
Am I certain I'm dead if I don't do this?
Speaker 3 (44:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
Am I just injured? Will I survive it without you? Well,
you can't. But what kind of life do I have
left when I come back to work? Well, here? I
don't know if you can. I could never come back
to work. This is another career. Would you rather be
crushed or come back to work here? I think crushed.
Speaker 7 (44:27):
I mean, clearly.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
After that.
Speaker 4 (44:30):
This is what you do. You do what you have
to to get up.
Speaker 3 (44:34):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (44:35):
Once that you can breathe and you can walk again,
you calmly walk inside the truck stop. You demand the
tape from the security cameras, and you take it and
you walk out.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
And you tell everybody there, if anybody mentions this to
anybody I work with, I will find a way to
kill every one of you.
Speaker 7 (44:49):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
You saw what I did to the camel. It could
be worse for you. Because if the guys at work
find out about it, no one could ever bring sausage
balls again.
Speaker 9 (44:56):
No.
Speaker 7 (44:57):
You can't do anything.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
The jokes. Every time they come in, I'll be going, well,
here we go.
Speaker 5 (45:02):
Hey, Rick, you going to get something?
Speaker 2 (45:03):
Here we go.
Speaker 7 (45:04):
You better hurry.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
Hurry before Rick gets them. I mean, that's what you
would have for the rest of your life. But the
woman did what she had to do.
Speaker 7 (45:12):
I'm really happy.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
Y'all have grown.
Speaker 4 (45:14):
This camel weighs 600 pounds. 600 pounds.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
They were given a summons, trespassing charge for not having
their dog on a leash. So they were punished for that.
But they're also punished for being traumatized for the rest
of their lives. When's the next time your husband gives
you a kiss? Okay. It's going to be a while.
What if you made national news because of that? You
(45:40):
do realize that.
Speaker 3 (45:41):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
It did work, and it would work. That's pretty quick
thinking on her part.
Speaker 9 (45:46):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
Hey, I got to do this.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
Here it goes.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
More Rick and Bubba next.
Speaker 3 (45:49):
Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba.
Speaker 2 (45:55):
Many times you hear some of our friends say, if
only we could have health care like the rest of
the world. If only we could be more like the
more socialistic countries. Well, a patient at a hospital in
England would probably disagree today.
Speaker 4 (46:08):
Rick, the story says sometimes saying sorry just isn't enough.
In England, a man was accidentally circumcised in a surgery
that he was not supposed to have. The man was
70 years old. He was supposed to undergo basically the
old camera to the urinary bladder.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
Which is not pleasant. That's not pleasant. Between the two,
I don't know which one. Because you don't want to
know where they have to enter. Oh, yeah. It is
not good.
Speaker 4 (46:39):
Anytime the medical world is entering, it's not good.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
They made it a little easier.
Speaker 7 (46:44):
They did.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
They did make it easier. That's a good point, Greg.
Speaker 10 (46:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (46:48):
So he's there basically to get his bladder checked out,
and they do this accidentally. Now, they have agreed to
settle the case for roughly $ 24, 000. I don't think that's enough.
Speaker 11 (47:03):
I thought it was until we started getting some calls
earlier and people describing it's kind of like, you know,
the older you are when you get your tonsils out,
the worse it is.
Speaker 7 (47:09):
I think the same thing falls out here.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
Well, yeah, Greg. When I was circumcised, I didn't know
who I was.
Speaker 3 (47:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
It was pretty bad, though. I didn't walk for a year.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
What's up, man?
Speaker 2 (47:30):
I've used that before, but it's always a good one.
That's the winner every time. Every time.
Speaker 4 (47:34):
We've covered this topic on the show before in depth. And,
you know, I just– I don't know. I still think
it's pretty common that most people get that done early, right?
Speaker 2 (47:48):
Well, listen, don't miss this. I think there's situations that
come up that people have to have it later.
Speaker 3 (47:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:53):
Well, some people, you know, their family.
Speaker 7 (47:55):
We had a 28-year-old, 27-year-old in the kickoff hours. Yeah,
I heard him. He had some kind of– well, he
didn't tell us this. We had to talk to him
off the air. But he had some kind of cancer
or something that required this to– was it cancer?
Speaker 11 (48:09):
I think it's skin cancer, he said.
Speaker 2 (48:11):
Which was strange.
Speaker 7 (48:13):
Well, to your point, the bottom line is– There was
something else that happened that required him to have this.
Speaker 11 (48:16):
And I won't go into detail, but there is a
situation that sometimes occurs that they have to do that.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
No, you're right.
Speaker 2 (48:21):
We had that happen with a guy I went to
school with, remember?
Speaker 9 (48:23):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (48:23):
Sadly, one of his friends told the teacher that, why
he was absent. That's right. Do you remember that?
Speaker 9 (48:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
We were all waiting on him when he came back.
Speaker 7 (48:29):
And for the record, the 28-year-old said it was one
of the most painful things he's ever been through.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
Well, yeah. Yeah. I think so.
Speaker 3 (48:35):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:36):
A blade to that area?
Speaker 3 (48:37):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (48:38):
I mean, go to the Bible. You remember when they
did the dupe trick on the group that had treated
the sister very bad, and the brothers went in there
and convinced them that it was all good? They just
needed to become part of the– gang the tribes of
abraham sure they need to go ahead and take the
mark and it said the reason why they were able
to kill all of them that they were all laying
(48:58):
in their tents trying to recover uh when they and
they went.
Speaker 7 (49:02):
In technology has come a long way we've got procedures
we're in that area where we're up and bouncing around
in three days.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
Oh old school saying you you stand you stand in
line somebody's got a flint rock you know what i mean.
Speaker 7 (49:15):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
You're not wanting that. Did you say that?
Speaker 7 (49:18):
He did.
Speaker 4 (49:18):
I don't think I can stand up right now.
Speaker 2 (49:22):
But that's the reason why it's usually a decision that's
made as the Bible calls for. For 24 grand is
a little low. Yeah, that's a low. You do that
while the child is a baby. And if that's not
your choice, then sadly, if you have a health issue
or in this case a mistaken identity— You wouldn't want
it later in life. It's just not one of those
things you want later in life. But this is the
(49:44):
part I don't get, what you guys just talked about. Now,
certainly we know because of what he was there for,
there clearly had been a numbing agent. of some kind.
Speaker 4 (49:54):
Yeah, I don't think he's even under during this. It
says he was talking to the staff, not paying attention
to what they were doing.
Speaker 2 (50:01):
Yeah, they mixed up who they were doing. So somebody
was waiting on... My hand is in the air. I
know he's not asleep, but he certainly can't feel down
in that area.
Speaker 3 (50:07):
No, no.
Speaker 2 (50:08):
Because if someone circumcises you at 70, you can't continue
your conversation.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
No, it's a local. It's a local deal. No, you
don't feel it. You just feel some tugging and pulling.
Speaker 11 (50:20):
Somebody got a camera running in there that wasn't counting
on that either because they said they actually had the
patients mixed up.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
I don't know if they did the other one, but
they had him mixed up with somebody else. I wonder
which one's worse. Well, there's a local, so you don't
feel it either way, do you?
Speaker 7 (50:33):
Depends on what kind of check the other guy got.
Speaker 3 (50:35):
Oh, man.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
Mm-hmm. What would you be paid more for? We accidentally
ran a camera in there, or are we accidentally circumcised?
Speaker 7 (50:42):
I think circumcision. You're getting a bigger check.
Speaker 3 (50:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (50:45):
And I don't think that check's enough.
Speaker 2 (50:46):
$ 24, 000 is low.
Speaker 3 (50:48):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 2 (50:48):
I wonder if they give it back to you with
the money. What's wrong with you?
Speaker 9 (50:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (50:56):
I mean, there's nothing you can do with it.
Speaker 7 (50:57):
He's tracking with his brother today.
Speaker 3 (50:59):
He is.
Speaker 1 (50:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (51:00):
There's nothing you can do with it. But, I mean,
would they say our bad? Hey, this is on us.
I got a really good joke.
Speaker 7 (51:06):
Imagine that conversation.
Speaker 2 (51:07):
No, don't. Don't do it. Put this in your photo
album or something. Sorry about that.
Speaker 7 (51:09):
Good news, bad news. Bad news is we're going to
have to come back and run the camera up. We
didn't do that procedure.
Speaker 3 (51:16):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 7 (51:17):
However, however, we got some good news for you. We
went ahead and circumcised you while we were down there.
Speaker 2 (51:21):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 7 (51:22):
That's not a good conversation.
Speaker 2 (51:23):
We're going to let you heal up, and then we're
going to do the camera thing. You know what it is?
He's 70. He said, I almost made it. Yeah, really.
Speaker 4 (51:29):
Rick, here are the numbers from the World Health Organization.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
And the other guy's got to have a circumcision.
Speaker 3 (51:32):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (51:34):
When it comes to circumcision rates in the United States,
it's between 75% and 92%. But most Western European countries,
in contrast, is less than 20%.
Speaker 2 (51:46):
Yeah, but they don't use deodorant either. Or brush their teeth.
Speaker 11 (51:50):
You know we have a movement in this country that
claims it's... Because the kid can't tell you whether he
wants it or not.
Speaker 2 (51:59):
Do you remember Dr. Dean Adele got on a big
kick about that for a while, and finally everybody just
ignored him. It's just a better presentation if nothing else.
Speaker 7 (52:07):
There it is again.
Speaker 2 (52:08):
Oh, gosh. What's wrong with that?
Speaker 7 (52:11):
We really thought we would get in trouble this morning
by talking about it on the kickoff hour. We actually
had that conversation, we thought. We actually said.
Speaker 4 (52:18):
Speedy was being the voice of reason, and I appreciate that.
Even during the break, we questioned even talking. We thought, man,
freaking Bubba here is talking about this this morning.
Speaker 7 (52:27):
They're not going to like it.
Speaker 2 (52:28):
Well, there's a way to talk about it. You don't
have to get crude about it.
Speaker 7 (52:32):
And we did that. I felt like we did a
good job with that this morning.
Speaker 2 (52:35):
You don't have to be crude. Speedy got a little crude,
but that's fine.
Speaker 7 (52:36):
There was that one joke Greg told off-air, but that
was off-air. And he forgot we're on YouTube during the break.
Speaker 2 (52:43):
But it's fine. What he said about all that, so
far it's been very comical.
Speaker 7 (52:47):
I'm going to tell you, Greg's got several really good jokes.
Really good jokes about it.
Speaker 2 (52:53):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (52:53):
You didn't tell.
Speaker 7 (52:54):
I thought we handled it well.
Speaker 4 (52:55):
You remember when we were having this discussion before, and
you were making the point of the presentation, but we
had some people that were claiming that it— Oh.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
You're going to go here. Oh, I know where he's headed.
I do, too. So you're going to go here. There
he is.
Speaker 4 (53:12):
Well, some people were claiming that to get this procedure
done dulled your sensitivity in that area. I mean, I'm
just talking about the facts of what this debate was about.
There's a documentary on, I think it's Netflix.
Speaker 2 (53:23):
I notice you're holding your punchline. Well, but that's okay.
There's two punchlines.
Speaker 4 (53:28):
You may remember, if you remember the show, I replied
to him.
Speaker 2 (53:32):
I do remember this, yes.
Speaker 4 (53:33):
I said, I don't think I can take any more sensitivity.
I almost black out now.
Speaker 2 (53:44):
And actually a good point.
Speaker 4 (53:46):
I mean.
Speaker 7 (53:48):
I don't know where to look.
Speaker 2 (53:49):
I don't either.
Speaker 7 (53:50):
I'm going to look at nobody.
Speaker 11 (53:51):
So you don't feel like you've been shortchanged.
Speaker 7 (53:53):
You haven't been robbed of anything.
Speaker 2 (53:55):
Nah.
Speaker 4 (53:56):
I think I'm getting all I can handle.
Speaker 2 (54:02):
There it was. That's funny. So funny. I wasn't going
to do phone calls here, but I don't know.
Speaker 3 (54:13):
Oh, boy.
Speaker 7 (54:14):
That's chancy, Rick.
Speaker 2 (54:16):
866-WeBeBig. We'll be right back. Some guys we won't talk
about Hillary Clinton's tweets for a long time.
Speaker 7 (54:21):
We'll talk to him.
Speaker 2 (54:22):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba.
