We we had a pretty good meal last night, so I'll.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
And we'll be fine, trust me.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, yeah, you know to me really, I mean I
had a lot of fun yesterday, and to me, yesterday
was kind of the last show and today's just a
victory laud That's right, We'll we'll have fun. I know
it's going to be crazy, but today is Yesterday was
more like a normal day, you know, you know what
I'm saying as far as the way everything stacked a
normal show and nothing looks normal about today. No, okay,

(03:58):
when you know, right out of the gate in the
parking lot wrapping, Romeo was giving me a hug, you know,
I mean, right like.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
I didn't see it. I worked. I didn't see you missed. Yeah,
I didn't see it.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Right the sporting out there today.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
It was three fifty in the morning. Three fifty.

Speaker 7 (04:13):
That's what I got here.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, I get here. No, I know that, but he
was here through this.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Listen.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
First of all, all the parking spaces were marked off.
I thought Romeo did it because I didn't know it's
roming a the time. But there's that marked off.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
And then there it's a stretch limousine easing through the
parking lot and the guy gets out.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
He's walking towards me. I'm going, oh, this is really weird.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Is he driving it or riding driving it? I think
he's driving. Maybe you know he's got that okay, he's
got that music career.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Okay. Anyway, so he brought a DVD one for me
and one for Bubba. I put yours in your thing, Bubba,
and it's you remember when he would be on Jimmy
Jones and all these show he claim to have some
kind of elbow. They put him on a bunch of
shows because I would need a DVD player. But yes, yeah, right,
I think. But anyway, so that's that's right out of
the gate. Right out of the gate, right, Well, it's

(04:57):
good to see Romeo.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
It is, by the way, update too, and I'll read
you exactly on the things we need. Update from Kelly
at the store, because you know the store is a
is shutting down as well. And I don't think there's
anything left. I think Kelly, this was her quote. I
think she said there's a few masks left from the pandemic,

(05:18):
and I think that's it. And she said there might
be a few books laying around, she said, but that
there's there's.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
No more Blu Ray DVD.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
There's no more CDs, there's no more shirts, no more
hats not But so if you, if you, Bubba, I
loved your idea of get one of those old masks
and take the two sides off and make it a
flag on your Yeah, just cut the strings off one
side tied to your.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
You know your intent on let it flap.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Well, I know we have a lot to do, and
and Bubba and I surely don't want to get the
squalling today, but we'll we we'll, we'll well try to well, well,
we're gonna have a lot of fun today. Is not
just gonna be let's all weep and and all that,
it's also gonna be We're gonna laugh. Bob and I
we had a great talk yesterday, like you were talking
about afterwards, just kind of reviewing, and I don't want

(06:06):
this to come out the wrong way, but.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Good luck. Well, what I'm saying is you and I
ain't got nothing to prove, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
We feel like the show ended yesterday.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah we did it. I mean showing up to right.
No matter who now did, who did what? The show
has been successful. It has been around for thirty one years,
and uh, you know, we we came to the end
of it, you know, relatively unscathed. And we'll talk a
little bit about the history. But what I'm saying is whatever,

(06:38):
and I'm excited, you know about what God has for us.
Lord willing will see beyond this and both of us
and we'll both be hopefully successful. But it really does
Nothing is ever going to be this and we don't
have anything to prove. Everybody involved in this has already
proven to be successful. I mean, that's it.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
And I'm just glad I beat the countdown guy who
thought I would miss one day in the last two weeks.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
He's so proud of you.

Speaker 8 (07:03):
Right now.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
He's here, by the way, he's so proud of you,
he said.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Now he's going down to hours.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Fifteen minutes past the hour, will come back. So much
to do today. We'll be searching for words that we
probably won't find. We got a lot of people to think.
I got several right out of the gate.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
Here.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
I want to relive one memory too that still owns me.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
All right, good and Kevin Deryberry, we're all seeing Christmas
carols this hour as well, which is tradition.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Ricking bubba, ricking bubba.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Okay, so the election, the decision has been made. The
inauguration is still to come. I think one of the
things that it's not a new thing. We've been saying
it for years, but it seems to be glaring now
that mainstream news outlets distortion, deception, cancelation. You're not really
getting journalism anymore.

Speaker 7 (07:57):
Now.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Blaze TV that's different and a lot of you found
that out when you were wise enough to subscribe to
Blaze TV. Incredible journalism. They're committed to delivering, delivering, you know,
the true to the people and just saying, look, if
you're fighting for the American way, of life. Then this
is going to be your place to go. They're not
gonna be controlled, they're not gonna be silenced. They're an

(08:17):
independent platform, and I believe in the times we're living
in an independent platform more crucial than ever. So if
you like what we do here, and you've liked all
the other things that Blaze TV has available, and you
love their coverage of the election, it's time to subscribe.

(08:41):

of your phone calls in the day too.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Six two nine.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
We be big if you're out there and you're trying
to see maybe behind the scenes also things that are
going going on. Follow Speedy on his social medium, uh
and you can he's trying to document everything and putting.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
There on his Instagram and all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
So bub I know you had some things you want
to write, well, Rick, one of the there's a lot of.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
People on the thing today and there's no way. So
we're gonna get them all in and.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
We're gonna forget some people.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
So I apologize ahead of time. Sure you know who
you are, impossible, but there is somebody And this is
funny to me. I was thinking about it coming in today.
You go way back to classification point A. And we've
talked about we grew up listening to the radio, and
you know, we we had people that influenced us and

(09:38):
and all of that. And I remember when the college
station went on the air in our town's first radio station,
and you know, we were all sitting around with the
radio waiting it to you know, waiting to hear that
that quietness come on it, you know, when they first
cut it on. And we're gonna be working with them,
by the way to the fifty year anniversary that's coming up.

Speaker 9 (09:56):
Well.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
But for me, uh, there was so several guys that
I used to know that we were on the c
B together and we were all kind of the young
bunch of it. But Greg Warren from Jacksonville, and I
saw him a couple of years ago. We got to
laugh at about some of it. He he told me
that he was working at the college radio station and said,
I want you to come up and see the place.

(10:19):
And that's when it was in the old Bill Grays Hall,
and he carried me up there and I thought, man,
I had never seen itthing so cool in my life,
talking about in the turntables. And he went over there
and he showed me how they signed the transmitter on
and you know how you you flipped through the TFT
technologies and you could see how much power it was

(10:39):
putting out, and hey, I was hooked.

Speaker 7 (10:42):
That was it.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
That was it.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
It was all over, Ben, I had to be a
part of it. So Greg, thank you for that. You
you certainly have given me a lot to do in
the last forty years. I appreciate that. And Greg, we
went on to work together later on in putting up satellite,
so the same same deal with Suitcoats.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
It was quite a quite a crew we had there
for a while.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
But Rick, I'm wanna tell you, we've talked about a
lot of fun things and we're gonna talk about a
lot of them today, and we've talked about this one before.
But I got to thinking about it coming in when
we first started doing the show and we went to
do a remote in Fort Payne, Alabama.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
And and did we I know, we tried to figure
out what store that was, uh at the time, and
people send us pictures of what it is now. But
we went up there and I remember there was a
Letther's Beauty Queen at Homecoming Queen, and and there was
people lined up down the block and we were we
were talking amongst ourselves and we were like, man, what's

(11:43):
going on up here? You know, I hope that doesn't
take away from the crowd to the remote. And and
we showed up and it was the line going into
building where the remote.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Was gonna bell.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
It was the first time ever in my life I
felt like a rock star. Well, well, if you go
back and it was pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Well, the thing about radio, and this was before there
was any I mean we started the show, we said
a thousand times the Internet didn't exist.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
So radio was it, and the beauty of radio was and.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Sometimes the things that led to that kind of just
not knowing what to expect. It's not like you're a
band on the stage or you're a comedian and you're
getting instant feedback. I mean, you're throwing it out there
and other than in those days, a phone call or two,
you didn't have any idea how it was going. And
so when you would show up at something like an
appearance like that, you don't you literally don't.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Know what to expect. You have no idea.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
And so I remember the one thing I'll add to
that story if you remember this. I can't remember the
exact number. Oh, we panicked, but we absolutely we had
twelve for it. We took twelve T shirts. Twelve T shirts,
that's how much confidence we had in the show. And
uh and in those days, we would even tell people
thanks for not listening, because all the all the programmers
would say, nobody listens to that. Nobody, So we would

(12:56):
thank people for not listening whenever they'd be a mob somewhere.
And uh, so I got on the phone. I guess
it'd have to be inside the store. Maybe maybe in
the van. I don't remember, because there were no I
don't have a cell phone. And I called back to
the station, which was about forty five minutes from us.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
It was close to an hour.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah, and I said, you got to bring more shirts.
I said, we don't even were not even.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
They were like how many? And we said how many?

Speaker 1 (13:18):
You got how many you got?

Speaker 2 (13:20):
And there's a line up here and they're sock mill
women and they are fired up.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
They are fired up.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
They are not taking no for an an.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
No, they are not.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
I remember you know you but you know how you
still don't have you're trying to figure it all out.
I thought, okay, well, I guess sought women like it.
You know, you didn't know if it still had an
audience beyond that, but uh, it was. That was the
first moment, honestly that we were like, okay, we got something.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
And then we were screaming, get more, sharply, you'll get go.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
We didn't have any because our whole deal was and
it's worked the whole way, act like you're a big time.
Nobody knows the difference, and so we pretended we were
a big time by having our own shirts that were
for sale, not not giveaways. Uh but we only had twelve,
so so we we had to get more that day.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
But I remember just going, man, this is what a
rock star feels like. This is awesome.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Oh yeah, it was, you know it's it was.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
And then it was just crazy and you know, when
and Bubba and I were were talking about the just
starting this thing and we and we have to and
it's to.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Go back to I mean, we have we have to.
We have to talk about Mark Bass.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
You know, we could we we could run the list
of all the general managers we've had. I was always
very thankful to Jimmy Vynyard who hired me to be
the engineer.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
That was good.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah and uh and and told me to get the
tape recorder and go with you to meet the Rainbow
the Rainbow people, and which will be played during the
out of the Woods. And that was that was precious.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah and and Vineyard left, and then along came Mark
and along came the Hammer.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yep, he got the nickname the Hammer.

Speaker 10 (14:58):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
And he will. He was a subscriber and part author
to Gorilla.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
Marketing the way that we do Gorilla Marketing and have
done it for thirty one years.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
You can draw a straight line back to Mark the
Hammer Bass.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
That son of a gun believed that any any show
that competed with you must be destroyed and eliminated. Yes
and uh and and you know what we agreed, and
so we would we would. He would do anything for marketing.
And he was so open minded to anything. He let
this show form.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Now, he didn't know what any.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
World we were doing that that all of a sudden
we decided went his face. When I said I'm thinking
about making Bussy co host, He's like the engineer and uh,
engineer thought and then he was like, what am I
supposed to do for an engineer? And I thought, well,
worked that out later. But so it was.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
And I told you we we talked about it, and
we've been goofing around on the air and at lunch.
Uh and when you had brought that up, said you know,
we need to we need to decide something. And I
was like, you know, I got this cushy engineer job.
You know, I don't think I want to tamper that
twenty a year. I mean, I can't risk that getting away.

(16:10):
And then that weekend you're talking about God intervening. It
would have been fine just to send me a message,
it really would. But we had some off with thunderstorms
and I spent the entire weekend on the mountain trying
to try and stations behind to get it back on
the are not enough spare parts, no help, And I
was just so disgusted. I was like, yeah, let's do it. Anything.

(16:31):
I gotta have a change. I need something different.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
Every baba was so concerned that we're going to take
it back. He moved his desk, got the engineering office
into mind, and we put him face to face, and
I said, on one side, well.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Again, it was so hard to coordinate drugs. It was
easier if we just sit there and listen to each
other's phone calls, and then we knew what we were doing.
That's right, because there wasn't like we're going to shoot
an email that didn't exist.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Yeah, thirty one years later, here we are, Uh that
about that.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
We'll be right back more, ricking Bubba next.

Speaker 4 (17:05):

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Hey, I brought some in highs. Gary's here today a
surprise for me. Uh, well, because it's special. Yeah, it's
a very special surprises something I think, something that maybe
you've always wanted to do. Yeah, so so catch that.
I think I could be completely wrong. I'm not sure
I even know what he's gonna do. And it's not
performing cats, performing cats, bubble. We tried again, you ever

(17:32):
tried to book a cat?

Speaker 11 (17:33):
Hey, they're expensive, right, And and it felt a little
it felt.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, don't build it up too much because then you'll
be disappointed.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Yeah, but yeah, Greg's got We tried to h we
tried to book performing cats, but Bubba the person who
answered the phone thick Asian accents. Alright, all right, so

All Right, back in the softball days, Calvin's speed very
Sir Wilburn was a player and he hit on my
step mom. That's not the end of the story though,
my wife, my stepmom, was the police chief's wife.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Oh and for playing Alabama, she should have come hit me.

Speaker 10 (28:17):
Now, I don't you know. Now I'm forty now, and
so I realized I don't think Speedy was really hitting
you know, he can't turn it off.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Though he can can't turn I was just an over
greet his player. Ways.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Oh, magnetism is the word you're looking for. It's like sweat,
it just oozes out. Yeah, he doesn't want to break
a sweat, but he can't help it. I mean, as
Greg would say, I mean he's the lady's pet and
the man's regret.

Speaker 11 (28:44):
Hey, I just probably hugging her, you know, just saying
thanks coming and completely aside.

in ninety three. My MoMA maybe get my dates off
a little bit, but I was scanned the dial and
I don't even know if you were on Q one

you were on back then, but I remember when Bubba
started coming on the show and I sang it in
a group called the Vocal Boys, and Bubba, you were

(29:44):
hosting something over there that we did a little fundraiser for,
and I remember just chatting with you backstage over there
and kind of asking you about the show, and I
just remember then you were like, well, you know, I'm
doing the engineer thing, and this doesn't work out, I'll
go back to the and that, and obviously it did
work out and did just uh, you know, appreciate you guys,

Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
I was hired.

Speaker 32 (53:32):
Very very early and young and and uh fresh and green,
and I knew how to do some things with cameras,
but I didn't know everything.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
I remember I'll never forget in the early.

Speaker 32 (53:43):
Days of the show, I had a really close close
up of Rick on the screen, like your face was huge.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
Face is huge, and I made it bigger and I thought.

I had like a cool like Francis Ford couple of
you know, apocalypse now like dramatic shot going on the
next break, Rick comes up.

Speaker 1 (54:01):
To me and goes, what are you doing? Are you trying?
Are you trying to make us look stupid? And I
was like no, no, And so I never did that again.

Speaker 32 (54:13):
And within that same day or a week, Bubba comes
up to me, I'm running the switcher and he goes, hey,
how is this one camera run to the switcher?

Speaker 2 (54:22):
By the way, how is that wired?

Speaker 32 (54:23):
And I said, that's a great question, Bubba, you guess is.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
As good as mine, Buddy, I don't know.

Speaker 32 (54:29):
It broke a few years later and I figured it out.
So you know, you guys hired me and I was
very green, and I thank you guys so much. I
have grown so much spiritually and comedically and as a person, politically,
personally speedy. You have enough spirit and enthusiasm to make
up for Greg's negativity together, just like I have enough

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
But in those days, people would just become part of
the show and there was really no beginning and end.
How long did you hang around the show and be
part of the show. It went on for a while,
didn't you. Your wife called me out in front of everybody.

Speaker 6 (01:02:25):
Do you remember that?

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
I don't what I don't remember that.

Speaker 13 (01:02:29):
We were all on a gathering and she said, you
know what I hate is those interns that hang on
a little too long. I wan't no way, and I said,
I meant, I'm right here. It's me, and I do
remember that now I'm here. I remember that I'm sitting
right here. I'll be gone tomorrow. And then, of course,

(01:02:49):
the next time you saw me after I left in
two thousand and three, that was a year ago. I
was on jay Leno shortly after unbelievable and it was
on there eight times.

Speaker 6 (01:03:00):
I wasn't counting, but if you keep us going, do you.

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
Remember this right here?

Speaker 10 (01:03:06):
The Rick and Bubba Show, He could you take Cassio back?

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
Cassio. When you popped up on jay Leno, that was
something because you know, people were calling us and talking
about it. And then when you went back and he
actually invited you on stage, incredible, And I thought, I
can't believe what I'm seeing on it, because I mean
that was you didn't get any bigger than the Tonight
Show and there you were.

Speaker 6 (01:03:30):
Yeah, it was. It was very surreal. The moment it
hit me when I did the segment.

Speaker 13 (01:03:36):
You know, he wasn't there when I would record the
segments that going man on the street stuff and uh,
so I didn't seem to I would come back to
the studio and but it hit me when I showed up. Well,
first they told me my call time and I'm like, well,
I might have to leave like seven hours early in
Los Angeles.

Speaker 6 (01:03:53):
They were like, no, no, we send a car for you.
And I was like, well, I'll tell you boy something now.

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
That's when that's when Shrey got that thank you car. Yeah,
you have still been hanging out with and uh and
so uh.

Speaker 13 (01:04:08):
They picked me up and brought me there and when
I turned and they had my name on the the
dressing room door, and I was like, who else is
on here? And they were like, uh, Jessica Simpson and
the governor, Arnold Schwartzwegger.

Speaker 6 (01:04:22):
And I was like, what do we do?

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
I pick up the wrong person.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
And you know, the biggest fan of that was our
sales manager at the time, Believe Harrison unbelievad Oh sure I'd.

Speaker 6 (01:04:34):
Been here, his peasant assistant.

Speaker 13 (01:04:35):
Yeah, that was how I had Yeah, because you guys
didn't give it to me went in any of the contracts.

Speaker 3 (01:04:44):
But you're not bitter, No, not bitter but I know
he came in the studio in this moment right here,
and he said, I don't remember the exact quote, Rick,
but it was.

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
Something to the effect of I could not have been
more shocked. When Cassio was on the stage with Jay Leno,
huh if a flying saucer landed in our parking lot
and Bigfoot came.

Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
Out of the door, he turned and he said that
something along those side. Then he said, do you remember
the feeling the first time you went into that tent
that was a side show and you saw the two
headed calf and he goes.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
A feeding like that? He said, confused, what am I seeing?
I can't compute it.

Speaker 6 (01:05:27):
It was my la time. Was very weird and surreal
to me. Still, I did it.

Speaker 13 (01:05:32):
I did the game show Hole in the Wall. Do
you I don't know if I remember that, and I
had to wear uh if you don't remember it. It
was a game show where you had to stand on
the platform and a wall would come towards you with
a hole cut in the wall, and your only goal
was to fit through the hole in the wall.

Speaker 6 (01:05:47):
And I was like, boy, y'all pick the wrong teammate
for this.

Speaker 13 (01:05:51):
Some big holes turn sideways, but then I had to
wear this full body silver Spanda with a bicycle him
so we would not get injured.

Speaker 6 (01:06:02):
And uh, you know, I thought I was big and bad.

Speaker 13 (01:06:04):
I had done Jay Leno, I don some music videos
and worked with some other stuff and behind the scenes
with Kathy Griffin and stuff like that.

Speaker 6 (01:06:12):
And then Alum on this game show. And I called
my dad right afterwards.

Speaker 13 (01:06:16):
You know, this is before internet and cell phones and everything.
Called him, I said, Dad, what do you think about that?
He goes, you look like a baked potato, not mare?

Speaker 4 (01:06:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:06:29):
Thanks?

Speaker 1 (01:06:29):
Did you proud that.

Speaker 12 (01:06:32):
It here?

Speaker 1 (01:06:32):
And on the Hollywood That's the kind of moment Taylor
Hoicks wrote the song about.

Speaker 13 (01:06:38):
And then now here you are right at the end,
I would say, going out on top. Until I got
here this morning, Ony, things have changed since the last
time I was here. You've got a refugee camp out
from they're eating cats out there.

Speaker 6 (01:06:59):
I was excited.

Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
You know, breakfast.

Speaker 13 (01:07:02):
I remember the breakfast days when I was here, which
if y'all don't remember, was ninety eight to two thousand
and three aka the Funny Years.

Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
It's still one of my favorites.

Speaker 6 (01:07:12):
Yeah, and uh, I was.

Speaker 13 (01:07:14):
Excited about breakfast. And I went back there and first
the cooler. Guys, what's happening with the cooler?

Speaker 1 (01:07:20):
What do you mean?

Speaker 6 (01:07:21):
Used to be sodas everywhere?

Speaker 13 (01:07:23):
And uh, now we've got water and fair Life milk
right and some there's a drink in there that's got
kiwis and strawberries.

Speaker 6 (01:07:32):
I don't know that, which I think is illegal.

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
That's all that's left.

Speaker 6 (01:07:38):
And the breakfast.

Speaker 13 (01:07:39):
We got gooey bars, sausage balls and cheesees, No biscuits,
no nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:07:48):
We're making omelets outside, are they?

Speaker 26 (01:07:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:07:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:07:51):
Those wuld you think? Would you?

Speaker 5 (01:07:53):
Number one?

Speaker 6 (01:07:54):
Or it's a cat it's a cat star pop up
down there?

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
See him drop it big?

Speaker 4 (01:08:00):
About that? Did you? Uh?

Speaker 6 (01:08:04):
I did?

Speaker 4 (01:08:05):
Uh?

Speaker 13 (01:08:05):
The top one apparently was just a tortilla, so uh,
things are great, Uh serving tortillas.

Speaker 7 (01:08:15):
Different.

Speaker 3 (01:08:16):
Yeah, it goes back to the gold and I think
we've reached it. Listen this thing before it gets sad.

Speaker 6 (01:08:23):
There's no merch anywhere.

Speaker 1 (01:08:25):
Uh yeah, no word out there.

Speaker 13 (01:08:27):
Nobody work now, nobody know what happened to you know.
I look, I seriously, I wouldn't be where I am today. Uh,
without you going.

Speaker 3 (01:08:36):
Don't put that on us, Yeah, don't buy my son,
I don't put that ons Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:08:44):
You know, I remember becoming in in turn and a
lot of fur.

Speaker 13 (01:08:47):
Like I said, I turned nineteen on the show, Uh,
Speedy gave me my first cigarette.

Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
That was a good in the plus and and go
into a little bit about how you met your your
radio part.

Speaker 3 (01:08:59):
Yeah, so yeah, we want I might talk about that
because everybody wants to know what are you doing right now?

Speaker 1 (01:09:04):
How you did all that? And I know you're doing
stand up.

Speaker 3 (01:09:06):
What's weird is like when somebody that we know will say, hey,
let's see your cashio and I was at where and
then tell me someplace and I'm like, first of all,
I want to ask what you're doing there?

Speaker 1 (01:09:15):
What is he doing there?

Speaker 4 (01:09:16):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
How that happened?

Speaker 11 (01:09:20):
Also also a couple of behind the scenes stories from
the monkey that bit you.

Speaker 1 (01:09:25):
I was with you and I remember how that went.

Speaker 11 (01:09:27):
That's horrible, and the fallout of going to the wrong
pool on the fire from I think your grandma's house whatever.
You told those stories and they have become just big
stories that we played in What's the Fallout with the Family?

Speaker 1 (01:09:41):
On that I would we'll come back.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
We'll continue our update on Cassio kid as we walked
through thirty one years of the Rick and Bubba Show,
and there's not enough time to cover it all, but
we're trying to hit the highlights for you still to come.

Speaker 1 (01:09:55):
Gift number twelve in the twelve Working Days of Christmas
before we're.

Speaker 4 (01:09:58):
Done a Rick and Bubba.

Speaker 3 (01:10:03):
The goodbyes as we wrap up the year and the
show and then the twelve gifts and the twelve Working
Days of Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
And that's a pretty big deal.

Speaker 3 (01:10:14):
Today over fifteen hundred dollars worth of fine jewelry from
Barton Clay Jewelers.

Speaker 2 (01:10:20):
So that's more gold than Cassio.

Speaker 8 (01:10:23):
It is.

Speaker 1 (01:10:24):
I know this today.

Speaker 3 (01:10:25):
Bubba Slady said it, and it's true. There's just so
many thank yous that have to go out. There's we're
going to miss some. I mean, we just are and
there's just no way we'll almost have to do thank
yous in general. And if you're in that category, considered
that you're you're in there early in the.

Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
Show and you may miss it. Already apologize for everybody
that I would forget their name and not get them
in a list today. So we're actually covered indirectly.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
So Cassio kid is visiting with us.

Speaker 3 (01:10:53):
Came to the show at the ripe age of eighteen,
then turned nineteen, right yes, got on the show the
first time at fifteen.

Speaker 1 (01:11:00):
Pigskin Round Up. You wouldn't believe how many people.

Speaker 3 (01:11:02):
It's almost like the Pigskin Round Up people consider themselves
to be almost like ricking Bubby elite people. It's like
if you didn't know the Pigskin Round Up, you know,
sure you can claim something to the show, but if
you were a Pigskin round Up person, because that was
the way the show, that Pigskin round Up, the way
the attitude of that show, you couldn't really do it
in a normal time front.

Speaker 7 (01:11:25):
Weird.

Speaker 1 (01:11:25):
It had to be weird.

Speaker 13 (01:11:26):
We were pilgrims, we had just landed land. We didn't
know what we were up againts there, but.

Speaker 2 (01:11:34):
It really took off when the Utter Machine came out.
I feel like that was the funny years.

Speaker 13 (01:11:39):
You know, I was a fan first of course, and
when I when I decided to, you know, I was
thinking about I just knew I wanted to be funny.
Saturday Night Live was the thing I remember seeing a
comic on Carson with my parents, and you know that
was kind of my deal.

Speaker 12 (01:11:54):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (01:11:54):
And then I thought about radio when I was actually
it was before I interned. I had called in, but
I wasn't thinking about going into radio, and uh, y'all
were still doing uh peacekin round up at the time,
and y'all were saying something about uh being shirtless because
it was hot in the studio, and uh I worked

(01:12:15):
at a pizza place and we decided to get off
and bring you all the leftover breadsticks. We called and
they were like, yeah, come on, and we brought you
the breadsticks and there you were in your underwear.

Speaker 20 (01:12:24):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:12:25):
It was real. Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:12:26):
Yeah, I thought theater of the mind, you know, And
I went, well, if you could just do real stuff,
that's I can do that.

Speaker 6 (01:12:33):
I thought. Y'all were creating scenarios.

Speaker 1 (01:12:35):
No, no, no, nothing better than the genuine article.

Speaker 6 (01:12:39):
I could. I'd really like to sit in my underwear
and talk for a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
It beat post hole digs.

Speaker 6 (01:12:45):
So uh.

Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
Speedy mentioned some of the classics that involved you. There's
too many to get all of them.

Speaker 6 (01:12:50):
Sure, burning the grandmother's house down, I get a lot
of it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:53):
Yeah, so you burned your mother's grandmother's house down.

Speaker 13 (01:12:57):
Yeah, and and and the setup to that story was
that I didn't realize it until later in life.

Speaker 6 (01:13:02):
It was a family secret.

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
I didn't tell you.

Speaker 13 (01:13:04):
I knew the house burnt. It was a very sad
time in all of our life. Yeah, it got sadder.
And then when the whispers and the giggles would come
up behind my back that functions when the fire would
be brought up. And then finally they were like, look, well,
we didn't want to traumatize you with it, and I go, well,
you just did. Now it's even worse now I'm thinking

(01:13:28):
about all the years I didn't know about it, really embarrassing.

Speaker 3 (01:13:30):
I think when I was a little kid, I actually
would have better, better ability to get through this as
an adult.

Speaker 13 (01:13:35):
This is going to make me different and uh and
so yeah, the accidentally, this long story short was I
was told to clean up the fireworks for Fourth of
July on my birthday, and uh, I put them in
a plastic trash bag, in a plastic garbage can up
against the vinyl siding of my grandmother's house.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
The rest, they say, including their house, right. Yeah, so
that was the wrong.

Speaker 6 (01:14:02):
That was burning my grandmother's swimming pool.

Speaker 13 (01:14:04):
There was no house house down. Oh yeah, you can't
burn a swimming pool. Now, wrong, swimming pool was the
next door.

Speaker 2 (01:14:10):
Class is good.

Speaker 3 (01:14:11):
You go into somebody's backyard start swimming in their pool.
Not who you thought it was, Yeah, not my buddy's grandmother.
It was the house across the street. And cops were called.
And I was so confident. That's what made it really awkward,
is this poor lady has dementia and doesn't know who
her own grandson.

Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
Right, right? Well the best part though, apparently sharp as.

Speaker 11 (01:14:33):
You remember nine one one, Yeah, that you hate people
pulling good ones on you, and you thought it first
that she was just raising on you, and you were like, no,
you're not going to get me.

Speaker 6 (01:14:44):
No chance to know that you were.

Speaker 3 (01:14:46):
No, I am a friend of your grandson, by golly,
and I am involved to prove it, right, Ben is
a classic.

Speaker 6 (01:14:55):
Yeah, the paralyzed cat who had a wheelchair.

Speaker 1 (01:14:57):
Yeah, the owl story with you, and yeah, I was
jealous of.

Speaker 6 (01:15:01):
The of that back there, the owl back there.

Speaker 13 (01:15:02):
I asked her I could have that, yeah, Quentin gay, Yeah,
I ran I ran over an owl, tried to have it.

Speaker 6 (01:15:09):
Stuff. Found out it's very legal. Tone an owl or
to get it stuff.

Speaker 13 (01:15:14):
And then uh, of course the monkey the monkeys. Oh
I did get hypnotized to you did. We're still worried
about Gary Conrad.

Speaker 2 (01:15:23):
Gary Conrad, do you still have to go see him
every time he's in town?

Speaker 6 (01:15:26):
He just you have visits in my dreams every once
in a while. Big deal.

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
What comedians did you have make like their daughter cry
or something?

Speaker 13 (01:15:34):
In the green Victoria Jackson, Yeah, I did the Matt
Foley motivational speaker impression for her daughters or her and
her daughters. We're all in the green room right before
our show. I get to open up for him. So
excited y'all are like, do the impression?

Speaker 30 (01:15:49):
Do it?

Speaker 12 (01:15:49):
Do it?

Speaker 6 (01:15:50):
I don't want to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:15:51):
I do the.

Speaker 13 (01:15:52):
Motivation with My name is matth Holy and uh, mid
deal her her daughter, who knew Chris personally, Uncle Chris
started crying.

Speaker 1 (01:16:02):
And uh, y'all basically you became a ghost.

Speaker 13 (01:16:05):
Yeah, y'all started looking around and I didn't know him
to bail now by the river.

Speaker 6 (01:16:10):
Get my punchline, ma'am. We're gonna have a whole fun
with the show.

Speaker 2 (01:16:15):
Good night, everybody heads face now.

Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
Good night, everybody. Sorry, little lady so then the monkey.

Speaker 13 (01:16:22):
The monkey that bit me on the golf course, Uh,
is really talked about among circles of uh golfers and doctors, Yeah,
doctors and pet owners. And uh we went we had
you guys got a report that there was a monkey loose.

Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
On a golf course and was throwing rock people.

Speaker 13 (01:16:41):
Yeah, he would, he would steal the balls and then
he would put rocks in his little diver and throw
rocks at the golfers. So we of course had to
go investigate. And as we got there, immediately you're like,
I don't get a good vibe from the monkey, but
he ain't playing. But this is for the show, so
you gotta just dive in push on three as we

(01:17:01):
learned and in private school, Yes, and okay, so yes,
and we're gonna interact with the monkey even though we're
scared of it. And I think the monkey sense that
because he would crawl on speedy and it.

Speaker 6 (01:17:14):
Would be fine.

Speaker 13 (01:17:15):
And then he got to me and he kind of
hung out for a little bit, and then he started
nibbling my ear and I thought, I'm not even old
enough for that, you know, And uh, they were like, yeah,
he likes to nibble on ears. Just let him, and
I said, I don't want to let him though, what
if I don't want him to nibble on my ear?
And they said, we'll just cover your ears up. And

(01:17:37):
so now I'm walking around like this, and now the
monkey is literally trying to pull my hand off, and
I tried to push him off of me.

Speaker 6 (01:17:45):
He climbed up on my arm.

Speaker 13 (01:17:46):
You know, they're they're very adjacate and so stronger, so strong,
and well, at first.

Speaker 6 (01:17:52):
He slapped me, you remember he slapped me, slapped the monkey. Yeah,
he held my golf.

Speaker 13 (01:17:56):
He yelled my shirt hung down here, and then just
slapped me so I would open my eyes and move
my hands.

Speaker 1 (01:18:00):
He really did pull you too, and then I had
a posable, the game changer.

Speaker 13 (01:18:07):
Then he hung off my arm and that's when he
decided to a lot of meat right here, you know,
so he uh, he dug right in and I'm it
hurt so bad, I mean, just a huge.

Speaker 6 (01:18:18):
Chunk in the mailed up.

Speaker 1 (01:18:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:18:22):
Yeah, because then the the show didn't matter, you know
what I mean. It was a life for death right then.
And I was I said, go ahead and get the
monkey out of here. Now we'll shut it down. And
then it was trying to get back to him. They
had to form a human shield around me.

Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
Because the monkey heat. He tasted some cash.

Speaker 13 (01:18:39):
Ready to go, and I announced, I'll punt the monkey
if it gets over yeah, and Speedy was like, I
had really pun him if he comes over here.

Speaker 6 (01:18:47):
Yeah, for the show. The show, but they didn't let
him get a hold of me.

Speaker 13 (01:18:51):
So then we we drive back and we're laughing and
I'm I'm just kind of crying still. But Speedy's like,
that's a great segment, guys. And I'm like, do we
need to go to the doctor or you know, you're
not in a hurry to the medical facility like I
need you to because we're.

Speaker 1 (01:19:04):
Going back to the office, is right? I mean, how
back of a monkey bike?

Speaker 13 (01:19:07):
And I had an extension in y'all's office. Nobody knew
about it. I didn't have anybody that would need to
call me leave me a message, right, uh, But that
day I had twelve including the CDC in Atlanta. Yes
that said not a laughing matter to get bit by
a monkey. Yeah, you're gonna have to go to the
doctor immediately. We need the monkey because we're gonna have
to yes, taste the monkey.

Speaker 1 (01:19:29):
They test the test, the.

Speaker 2 (01:19:31):
Destructive test.

Speaker 3 (01:19:32):
It is a destructive test. The good news is the
monkey did not have rab's. The bad news is the
people who love the monkey now have a headless mind.

Speaker 1 (01:19:41):
Yeah, that's how they.

Speaker 6 (01:19:43):
Take it that way. It's a rough test.

Speaker 2 (01:19:46):
It's really news when they hand you back to headless monkey.
It's kind of a disturbing a healthy monkey. But yes,
this used to be a healthy monkey.

Speaker 7 (01:19:56):
Had.

Speaker 3 (01:19:56):
The good news is you haven't started a worldwide pandemic
to cas he had. The bad news is somebody needs
to get a shoe.

Speaker 6 (01:20:02):
Bomx, you know.

Speaker 11 (01:20:04):
And you know the other story with Hobi and Don Juan.
Of course y'all performed at Fatfest and all that.

Speaker 1 (01:20:10):
Yeah, that was huge.

Speaker 11 (01:20:11):
But the pan the Panama City story, I get told
that a lot from Hobie because he was with you
when there were some things screamed at a truck full
of guys and then they stopped and decied it they
were going to come back, and you took off.

Speaker 6 (01:20:24):
Yeah, it was the first time I ran ever in
my life. When when some frat bros.

Speaker 13 (01:20:31):
All threatened to kill us basically lack of better terms,
they called us names. By the way, you can't you
couldn't do it back then. You can't do it especially,

had the only brave moment he's ever had this entire life.

Speaker 6 (01:20:46):
Bet you won't say it to my face. No, no,
what was that move right there? You're not a fighter.
All he knew was he was faster than me.

Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
It's the bear joke.

Speaker 11 (01:21:01):

come back and he's like, okay, we got three at least,
and he looks around.

Speaker 2 (01:24:42):
If y'all laughed about that phone call.

we've we crossed paths and didn't know each other.

Speaker 3 (01:24:49):
And you're also doing stand up comedy and have become
really successful at congratulations.

Speaker 6 (01:24:53):
Yeah, traveling doing stand up comedy I'm divorced. As you

That's a good thing for the ladies. Mary thickness to
you ladies looking for Fatchelor part two on.

Speaker 6 (01:25:07):

do a show with his son, Nick Patrick, who was
back there. And so we're in the wrestling space doing
all that and uh so check me out man the
Rocket and podcasts hopefully hanging out with you guys.

Speaker 6 (01:25:43):
Well, now you've got time to call me back, right, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:25:46):
That's a well, it's it is you. We we early on,
you know, you just kind of you know you have
you had what it took. We we we certainly thought
you did. You know, we weren't through it, you know
the first time you did stand up. Course, this is
only in rick and bubble world. Only in ricking bubble
world can this happen? Uh, hey, you want to do
some stand up. Okay, we're going to put you in
front of eight thousand people. Yeah, at fastest outdoors. One

(01:26:08):
of the hardest things. And I remember how funny it
was because don Wan told us he said, now if
he panics, he's gonna start doing the Dinosaur. How's the
paras Look, we're standing backstage and that you were me
once said, how's it going.

Speaker 1 (01:26:21):
He's already into the Dinosaur right out of the gate.

Speaker 6 (01:26:25):
Well, look, I hope we can find it.

Speaker 13 (01:26:26):
You know, I did an open mic rest in peace,
Mickey Dean, he's got he got me in the stand
up comedy.

Speaker 6 (01:26:31):
He signed me up for an open mic.

Speaker 13 (01:26:34):
And uh, of course again out of the realm of
norm Speedy said, we're going to record your first ever
stand up and play it back on the air. And
that was when I thought I was crushing that night.
I said, I dare him to play it Monday morning.
I'm going to blow up me somebody all of a sudden,
and uh played it back. I kept going, Hey, did
you edit the laughs out?

Speaker 6 (01:26:55):
A bunch.

Speaker 1 (01:26:58):
Lot of dead air between the jokes?

Speaker 3 (01:27:00):
But you know, I want to ask you that since
you're doing both now, because that's two completely different gifts,
two completely different gift sets, and which one do you?
I think stand up's always gonna be the most difficult,
right because yeah, well I.

Speaker 13 (01:27:13):
Hate stand up really but immediate feedback, Yeah, it's it's
real bad.

Speaker 1 (01:27:16):
But I like today.

Speaker 13 (01:27:17):
I lean I lean back on the improv and the sketch,
that idea that I mean, that was always my love.
So if you ever come see me if I'm doing
a headlining set, Uh, we're gonna kick a field, go early,
and then we're gonna play defense and we'll talk to
the crowd for the rest of the time, Okay, because
I can interact with everybody and I know I can
get my way out of that.

Speaker 1 (01:27:35):
So I like to score early, play defense, take home
with the w Yeah. So yeah, I love Q And
we've only got a minute? Could I hate one thing?
How long does it take you do Matt Foley?

Speaker 6 (01:27:45):
How long does it take that it? Can we give
you on me to do it?

Speaker 15 (01:27:47):

one minute?

Speaker 1 (01:27:51):

Speaker 2 (01:27:53):
You got to hurry a minute's worth it? Yeah, we
don't have microphone.

Nice Susan, believe it? Caller thirty two missed bo one

Speaker 1 (01:33:51):
Got on the last Rick and Bubba Show.

Speaker 10 (01:33:52):
That's big, huge, been listening to you for a very
long time. I just dropped my fifteen year old listen
to your show for fifteen years.

Speaker 3 (01:34:02):
You know what you get to say for the rest
of your life. I miss winning the last gift in
twelve working days of Christmas by one call one caller
enough very much, of course, you know, trying to do awesome.
I wish we had a gift left to give, but
we don't have somebody of a gift. And all this
in and is our voices. You'll see it looking disappointed.

Speaker 10 (01:34:23):
Yeah, Hey, my gift to it was here in your voice.

Speaker 1 (01:34:29):
Thank you, tru Kine, thank you very much, thanks for
listening to the show.

Speaker 6 (01:34:33):
And but but there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:34:34):
The final twelve working days of Christmas, I know. And
so there it goes, and it goes to a guy
named Willy.

Speaker 1 (01:34:40):
I'm picturing Willy wearing all this.

Speaker 2 (01:34:42):
Yeah, you know, you know, of all the things we
got involved in that that trip was one of the
most disturbing, shocking.

Speaker 1 (01:34:49):
Gosh.

Speaker 2 (01:34:50):
I will never forget being on the airplane as we
start to taxi out the runway and thinking they didn't
get him on the plane. We're going home and we're
leaving a list in California, all expenses paid for probably
twenty years.

Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
Yeah, Rick, I wonder what old Willy's doing right now.
One great question is we lifted and you know that one.

Speaker 2 (01:35:10):
And a burden was lifted off of us in the
same way that jet took us.

Speaker 3 (01:35:14):
And with all the salespeople that are popping by today,
a lesson learned on that particular giveaway. If y'all going
to go out and get sponsors and have a random
drawing with the registration boxes, let's leave the title pawns
out of it.

Speaker 1 (01:35:24):
Yeah, yeah, Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:35:27):
If somebody says, here's my car, I need thirty bucks,
we don't really want to go to Los Angeles now.

Speaker 2 (01:35:32):
Okay, so probably other issues there.

Speaker 3 (01:35:34):
Yeah, probably maybe Dave Ramsey or probably So that was
probably as long a journey and adventure, and it really
for many people it's their moment when they said I'm
in on this show. And I say to all of them,
thank you, thank you for that. Yeah, listening to it
loads of fun, living it not so much. Well yeah,
you know, not so much.

Speaker 2 (01:35:53):
Well, aside from dealing with them and the police there
in Los Angeles, it was a great trip. I mean
I enjoyed that. Getting to see a lot and of
course my family, you know, brings us up all the
time because we got to tour of the lot at ABC.
Mark Norman was there, worked there and he'd been a
former teacher of mine and friend of ours, and he

(01:36:13):
gave us this tour and it was great because we
got to see General Hospital being taped and you remember
he was saying, just walk in, just walk in the bar.
They don't care. They love when extras.

Speaker 1 (01:36:22):
Are in there.

Speaker 7 (01:36:23):
Oh yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:36:24):
And then to go eat and the quarter main family
is sitting next to us at the table.

Speaker 3 (01:36:28):
I thought that was pretty wide. Hey, thank you for
trying to give me some memories that were good from
that trip. I've forgotten.

Speaker 2 (01:36:33):
Yeah, y'all, we had a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 (01:36:34):
I've been so traumatized by the bad side of it.

Speaker 2 (01:36:37):
When we rode around the square where they did Back
to the Future, and you're like, wow, I'm in the square.

Speaker 1 (01:36:43):
We're back to the future happening. Yes, this is great.
I remember so vivid the Brady House.

Speaker 3 (01:36:47):
Willie and Wanda, we arrived at the Hollywood Roosevelt and
we had put them wisely on another plane, thinking we
never see them again, and especially since he was going
to try to board the plane with a pistol, and
we thought we'll never see him again.

Speaker 1 (01:37:01):
These were different times.

Speaker 2 (01:37:02):
This is pre nine eleven.

Speaker 1 (01:37:04):
Yeah, at the different times.

Speaker 20 (01:37:06):
And uh.

Speaker 3 (01:37:07):
We walked into the Hollywood Roosevelt, wondering because their flight
was ahead of us, whether they made it. And the
looks on the faces of the employees of the Hollywood Roosevelt,
their looks, they never uttered a word. We knew they
had gotten there, and we would say, by any chance,
they go two people from Alabama, Oh they're here, they're here. Yeah,
And we got them, and they were. They were unforgettable
in that moment when we realized the OJ law. We

(01:37:28):
were probably from the first ones day. But it was
a test case, a test case when after that, no
matter no matter how much you know, the person who
called the police wants to say, I take my I
take it back now.

Speaker 1 (01:37:40):
The OJ rules in play in Los Angeles.

Speaker 3 (01:37:42):
So they all they needed was a witness other than
the person that say this happens, and the maid gave
them the witness that they needed, and off went our
winner to jail, where at one time we can boast that, uh,
there was a cell block in Los Angeles in one jail,
Robert Downey Jr. In the second jail.

Speaker 7 (01:37:58):
O J.

Speaker 1 (01:37:58):
Simpson in the third one.

Speaker 2 (01:38:00):
Willie in America ain't never been nowhere.

Speaker 1 (01:38:06):
We'll come back.

Speaker 3 (01:38:08):
Hunter and Caitlyn Bussy have stopped by more of the
Rick and Bubba kids. We'll chat with them about the
trauma of being kids of the Rick and Bubba Show
and what that was like, as Brody told us yesterday,
kind of weird when people know the win lost record
of your third grade football team.

Speaker 4 (01:38:25):
We'll be right back ricking Bubba, Rick and Bubba.

Speaker 35 (01:38:30):
On.

Speaker 3 (01:38:31):
These final segments are just kind of covering some of
the final goodbyes of the Rick and Bubba Show, but
they're not as easy to bring to the show anymore.
When they were all little, it was like, please take
us to the show. Then they became, you know, teenagers
and it was awkward, and then they became adults and
you can't book them.

Speaker 1 (01:38:49):
You have to talk to the are so busy.

Speaker 3 (01:38:51):
Yeah, but I'm glad that on this final show that
Hunter and Caitlin Bussy have found their way to back.

Speaker 7 (01:38:58):
Guys.

Speaker 2 (01:38:58):
Welcome, thank you, h happy to be here. So growing
up we were talking to uh to Brodie yesterday and
growing up on this show can sometimes be difficult.

Speaker 1 (01:39:10):
Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 31 (01:39:12):
Yeah, you know, Brodie said this yesterday and it really
resonated with me. I thought that everyone's dad was Bubba.
Like I had no idea that people's dad were like
doctors or lawyers. And then you know, he went to Ryarwoods.
That was the usual, and they have, you know, your
occasional businessman and they're like, what does your dad do.

Speaker 1 (01:39:27):
I'm like, he's Bubba, that's it.

Speaker 6 (01:39:30):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:39:31):
And that particular part of the country, there's a pretty
good chance that they're dead, is Bubba?

Speaker 1 (01:39:35):
Right?

Speaker 13 (01:39:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 26 (01:39:36):
There are the best was like, oh, your dad's Rick
and Bubba. I'm like, I don't have two dads.

Speaker 1 (01:39:40):
I promise you that your.

Speaker 31 (01:39:43):
Rick and Bubba's daughter is the oh yeah, yeah, very
common response.

Speaker 2 (01:39:47):
So and uh, you guys had to get on my schedule,
and I appreciate d I know, going to bed in
the summer at eight o'clock was always tough when the
sun was still up. But thank y'all for letting me
get into bed early.

Speaker 1 (01:39:59):
Hey you're welcome. Lots of arguments, but it's all right. Yeah,
it's because I mean, Bubba's going to bed.

Speaker 31 (01:40:05):
Oh teller, how water.

Speaker 2 (01:40:10):
We're going to sleep.

Speaker 1 (01:40:11):
I crashed.

Speaker 2 (01:40:12):
I didn't have a problem with that, that's for sure,
and snuck a nap in there too.

Speaker 1 (01:40:16):
So was was there did it get you?

Speaker 3 (01:40:19):
I say that jokingly, but I guess when you when
you're little, it's all funny games, and I mean it's
you love it. Was there a point where you're like, okay, well,
so our life will just get shared on the show
in a second. Did you ever reach a point where
that that became strange? I know you said you thought
other people's dads you didn't know about normal jobs, but
was it weird for your family business.

Speaker 5 (01:40:38):
To be known kind of?

Speaker 31 (01:40:40):
And you know, there's always the comedic drama that spin
on something. I'm like, wow, I don't really remember it
happening that way.

Speaker 1 (01:40:47):
Comedic.

Speaker 31 (01:40:48):
I'd love to be filled in on your version of
the story. We're going to share publicly.

Speaker 1 (01:40:54):
To high school and people are like, you did this.
I'm like, yeah, what about it?

Speaker 14 (01:40:58):
You know?

Speaker 7 (01:40:59):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:40:59):
Did you Do you have any particular memories over the
times that really stick out in your minds? I know
there's probably too many, but any any you would say
in your top five.

Speaker 31 (01:41:07):
One of my top five is actually moving to DC
and thinking I'm never going to hear about Rick and
Bubba really ever again, and then it being actually more
prominent in my life there than it was here, which
is pretty funny, you know, working for a member of
Congress and being able to get him on the air,
and then when he meets with constituents, he's like, hey,
this is Bubba's daughter, and they're like, can we get

(01:41:28):
a picture with you? And I'm like, like this is
so embarrassing, but no, it was.

Speaker 1 (01:41:34):
It's awesome.

Speaker 31 (01:41:35):
You know what y'all do is so funny to me,
And we've joked before. I'm like, Dad, there's no way,
there's like this is not real, Like there has to
be some sort of government interference. It's because I'm like,
y'all are funny and stuff, but like thirty years of this,
there's no way do.

Speaker 2 (01:41:49):
You still think I worked for the c.

Speaker 5 (01:41:51):
I do.

Speaker 4 (01:41:54):
Well.

Speaker 31 (01:41:54):
When the Pentagon is calling Bubba from Rick and Bubba,
I'm like, there's got to be someone higher on the
tote fold.

Speaker 1 (01:42:00):
Well, Baba's come in here with information. Before that, I
thought to myself, we are are we covered?

Speaker 14 (01:42:05):
Oh?

Speaker 31 (01:42:05):
He'll takes me and be like I got this inside
info and I'm like, how like I.

Speaker 1 (01:42:09):
Work here, you stuff you didn't know? Right?

Speaker 23 (01:42:11):
Yeah? Oh?

Speaker 26 (01:42:12):
Always and getting lunch with friends where they're like, I
shouldn't be sharing this with you, but I'll share it
with you anyway, and I'm sitting there right.

Speaker 7 (01:42:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:42:19):
So I got to stay on top of the news.

Speaker 3 (01:42:21):
Yeah, so what so what are you guys doing now? So, Caitlin,
I know you've been in DC. We've been up there,
you working with politics.

Speaker 31 (01:42:30):
And now you I'm in Montgomery now. I work for
the Business Council of album I actually brought some of
my coworkers here today.

Speaker 1 (01:42:37):
Very fun but.

Speaker 31 (01:42:39):
Yeah, it's a great job. Montgomery is interesting, very different
than DC. Or anywhere else I've ever loved.

Speaker 1 (01:42:45):
But there's the understatement of the day.

Speaker 31 (01:42:46):
Yes, yeah, but it's you know, character building.

Speaker 2 (01:42:49):
So well, you grew up a lot different than we
did because we grew up in small towns and you've
never grown up. I mean, Montgomery is the smallest town
you ever lived in, and that's a pretty big city
for a lot of fun.

Speaker 31 (01:43:00):
It's been interesting, but you know, a lot of great
people there, a lot of them are here today, but
it is very different.

Speaker 3 (01:43:06):
Well, yeah, I love I said, where we grew up,
someone going to Montgomery would actually say I'm going to town. Yeah,
you know so, and to you that seems like compared
to Birmingham and d C. But what about as far
as you know are you? Are you looking to continue
down this road and stay? And when did you start
saying this is my thing?

Speaker 1 (01:43:25):
When did that happen?

Speaker 6 (01:43:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 31 (01:43:27):
I know, I remember Dad and I staying up and
watching Trump get elected in twenty sixteen, and I was like,
this is really cool. Didn't really think much about it then,
and then went on to I think you introduced Luther
Strange out a rally or something, and I went with
y'all and so I was like definitely interested in it,
didn't really know how to get my foot in the door,

(01:43:48):
and then interned for Congressman Barrymore in college and then
I was hooked. I loved living in it was it? Yeah, Yeah,
it's it's really fun. It's fast paced, it's a young
person's environment, and you can ask out. I mean it's crazy.
There's I think the oldest person I've ever worked with
is like thirty six, other than the congress in themselves,
So it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:44:09):
I like, you like going to all the parties in DC?

Speaker 1 (01:44:11):
Yeah, who is? So what are you doing now?

Speaker 26 (01:44:15):
I'm still doing the marketing for Southern Immediate Care.

Speaker 4 (01:44:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:44:17):
Now, you've also been doing some stuff on YouTube. I
have with video games. Talk about that a little bit.
This is a and I've seen a lot of people
do really well with this. So how does it work?

Speaker 26 (01:44:25):
I mean you're just basically just you know, streaming whatever
you're playing, and you're getting to talk to your friends
and I mainly just talk about what's going on, you know,
whether it relates to me or not. I've enjoyed it,
though it's grown bigger than I thought it was.

Speaker 3 (01:44:36):
It almost like a high tech thing where you're testing products?
Are you now testing games and saying here's what works,
you might want to try this. So this has actually
become a really big deal to people, and I'm trying,
as an old guy trying to understand it.

Speaker 6 (01:44:48):
I know people do that.

Speaker 26 (01:44:49):
I just mainly just you know, kick back. I'm just
talking to people just like they're you know, pulling up
to my place and we're hanging out.

Speaker 3 (01:44:55):
You talking about a hundred busy chat room, and I'm
playing a video game. Let's chat why I'm playing? Yeah, yeah, well,
continued to says, tell them how they can find you
on that.

Speaker 26 (01:45:03):
So just look at my name on YouTube. It's Hunter Bussy.
He'll be able to find me there. It's not too hard.
You know, my face is on the profile picture.

Speaker 1 (01:45:10):
So okay, Well, and.

Speaker 2 (01:45:11):
You know, really, y'all can both thank me because I
spared you from telling a story that I threatened you.

Speaker 31 (01:45:17):
But no, I would love to hear it.

Speaker 2 (01:45:20):
No, no, I'm not. I have so many Well, it
was the time that I told them about the birds
and the bees.

Speaker 31 (01:45:27):
And I have said a million times I tell this
story way better because our.

Speaker 1 (01:45:32):
Point of view is way funnier. It really is.

Speaker 5 (01:45:36):
And yeah, how much time do we have because Dad
broke it down into three.

Speaker 1 (01:45:40):
Weeks of classes.

Speaker 2 (01:45:42):
Yeah, well, well, you know, we'll have podcasts for that later.
That's probably best left for the non broadcast group.

Speaker 1 (01:45:49):
Right the curriculum? Yeah, yeah, it was. And then you know,
it's a little kid, a little shocking.

Speaker 5 (01:45:55):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 31 (01:45:56):
And you know, I have so many friends who have
brothers and you know what I and they're like, oh, like,
we talked to my mom, My brother talked to my dad.

Speaker 26 (01:46:02):
I know, we're all sitting there together.

Speaker 31 (01:46:04):
Mom is also learning because she didn't know anything. I
guess either, And I was like, what is going on?

Speaker 26 (01:46:10):
This is in sane any time I would say anything, bill.

Speaker 2 (01:46:13):
Bill, bill, what?

Speaker 6 (01:46:15):
That's not real?

Speaker 1 (01:46:16):
That's not what they don't call it that.

Speaker 2 (01:46:19):
And then and then I had to back it up
with evidence, so, you know, and we, as Caitlyn said,
we broke it down into three segments and we won't
go into all of that, but the first one was
know your body parts, scientific and street now. And as
I'm trying to explain this, Betty keeps laughing. I can't
and I said, I can't do this with you causing

(01:46:41):
the distress too, And she said, I can't quit laughing,
and then she would debate me. It ain't called that.
I go, oh, yeah, it is right, Yeah, it is.

Speaker 1 (01:46:48):
That's a debate and we got a handsetting on for it.
If you don't know about it.

Speaker 3 (01:46:54):
Good to see you guys. Proud of both of you.
Continue to love you both. God's got a head for you.

Speaker 7 (01:47:00):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (01:47:00):
We're ricking Bubby next, ricking Bubba, ricking Bubba.

Speaker 2 (01:47:06):
To tell everybody, over the past thirty one years, I
have opened the show by welcoming our friends, neighbors, and
associates in round figures. And I know this will be debated,
so I'm saying in round figures. Sure, I've done that
over eight thousand times.

Speaker 1 (01:47:22):
Good grief.

Speaker 2 (01:47:23):
During those eight thousand shows, we've done again in round
figures one hundred and twenty six thousand, four hundred and
ninety eight segments. Both of those long running streaks will
end today. When I started, and we started this show
together in nineteen ninety four, there was no internet. Very

(01:47:44):
few people had cell phones, and the ones that had
them had to carry them around like a piece of luggage.
I mean, we have seen a lot of technology change,
a lot of other things have changed since nineteen ninety four.
A guy named Jeff Bezos founded a little book club
called Amazon. You may have heard of that.

Speaker 1 (01:48:01):
I hope that works out.

Speaker 2 (01:48:02):
Ice skater Nancy Carrigan was attacked with a steel rod.
You remember that in nineteen ninety four there was no
World Series due to a strike, the first time that
had happened in Major League Baseball in ninety years. There
are also was some other kids born in nineteen ninety
four that have gone on to the entertainment business. Dakota Fanning,

(01:48:22):
Justin Bieber, and Harry Styles were all born in nineteen
ninety four. The very first shows that we did are
still traveling out through space thirty light years away. This
is where I'm gonna get in my text, I knew
I knew this coming. And even though most of these
towers are designed to send these signals down to where
the people are, some of it makes it to space.

(01:48:44):
Some of them go out there, and they're still out there,
extremely weak and way away from Earth. As a matter
of fact, they have passed over. According to Google, about
one hundred and eighty three known star systems, some of
those with their own planets, So who knows who is
listening to the Rick and Bubba show that just started yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:49:08):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (01:49:08):
Wow, I have a lot of people to think, and
I'll try. I'm gonna forget some people and forgive me.

Speaker 1 (01:49:15):
Please.

Speaker 2 (01:49:16):
First and foremost, I want to thank my Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ, from whom all blessings flow and we
all know that. I want to thank you Lord for
this wonderful opportunity you have afforded me for the past
thirty one years. I want to thank the hundreds of owners,
general managers, sales managers, program directors, and account executives that

(01:49:38):
have carried this show and sold this show these many years.
It was an honor to work with you all, and
we have some of them here today. I want to
thank our advertisers and sponsors. You have been the gas
that fueled the engine that kept this thing going, and
we appreciate it. As I mentioned earlier, I want to
thank my family for alar me to go to bed

(01:50:00):
at eight o'clock and then wake you up as I
rumble through the house at three point thirty four or
now two fifty am. For all of these years, somehow
I think it has aged me. Yes, I want to
thank Rick the listeners. Without you, guys, and all of
you here and all of you watching, and all of
you listening, none of this would have ever happened. You

(01:50:23):
made it happen. And we both are very appreciative of
that simple words. And we've talked about this a lot
this week. Cannot express my true feelings that I have
for you and what you have allowed us to do,
and we you know, just saying thank you doesn't seem
like but it's there. I do wish, and there's no

(01:50:45):
way that this could happen, but I do wish that
just for one day, every one of you could see
and feel what it's like to have been in the seat,
to hear the things that we have heard, see the
things that we have seen, and in joy doing the
show for over three decades. It was a dream of
a lifetime. And even though we had bills to pay,

(01:51:07):
if they had been covered, we had so much fun.
I would have done it all for free anyway. It's
really cool to come in here and have the locker
room mentality, and sometimes that she used in a negative connotation,
but not in this case. We come in here, we
have a locker room, we get ready, we do this show.
We have great fun, and then we get to go

(01:51:29):
home by lunch. Most of the days now, granted we're sleepy,
we have a headache at two o'clock in the afternoon
and we go to bed at eight. But other than that,
it was a really neat deal. Sometimes God gives us brothers,
but I was allowed to pick my brothers, and I
picked you guys. You have been there and we have
been through it off. We have laughed, we have joked,

(01:51:53):
we have done skits, we have done concerts, we have
thrown food, we have done interviews, podcast sometimes we've even
cried together, except for Rick, who never cries, but always
we were together. Adler, you're the most talented guy here,
and you have done so much with so little for

(01:52:13):
so long. We now expect it.

Speaker 1 (01:52:15):
That's true, You're so talented.

Speaker 2 (01:52:18):
I don't know what Rick's gonna pay you on the
next show, but you ought to ask for twice that
much because he can afford it. Now he's got head drunk.

Speaker 1 (01:52:25):
Okay, so he actually did ask for.

Speaker 2 (01:52:29):
I wish Michael Hams could have been here today.

Speaker 7 (01:52:31):
He's not.

Speaker 2 (01:52:32):
He was a great addition to the show. He came
in helping us to find an it guy, and he,
after looking everything over, said hey, I think I can
do it. He was a great addition. Greg, you and Lisa,
I don't know a higher honor. And we talked about
this this week among ourselves. We had asked you and
Lisa to be the god parents for Hunter and Caitlin

(01:52:53):
if something had happened to us before they became of age.
And I guess that's still up for debate, that you
would raise them. And I don't know a higher honor
that one man can ask another man and his wife,
and we ask you that we were humbled.

Speaker 1 (01:53:07):
It was quite an honor. Well, you just put a
look on Caitlin in the Hunter's face. I've never seen
it had fun.

Speaker 3 (01:53:14):
I don't think they knew that hung over them. How
to make you take care of your parents? I can't
go on any trips.

Speaker 2 (01:53:23):
Yeah, that's it, Speedy, You had the hardest job here.
Everything here rolled downhill and you had to catch it.
And I'm sorry about that. And many times Rick rolled
more downhill towards you than I did, but you made
it happen. There's nobody in this world a better handler
and a better get it done guy than you. And

(01:53:44):
I've told you many times. You were a pretty good
coach too. If I somehow ended up owning the New
York Yankees, you would be the manager of day one.
I don't care who's there, You're in okay, absolutely, Rick.
I want to thank you for asking me to be
a partner with you on the show. I've often wondered
over the years how the show would end, and to

(01:54:05):
be honest, it's not exactly what I expected. But uh,
we landed this plane either way, and that means a lot.
I wish you and the other guy's nothing but success
going forward. I will end my time on the Rick
and Bubba Show much like I begin my time on

(01:54:26):
The Rick and Bubba Show with a Shakespearean court Oh wow, Okay,
this one is simple, it fits today, and it's from
the play by the same name. All'swell, that ends well,
And with that I hand the Rick and Bubba Show
over to the history books. I hope you remember us. Finally,

(01:54:47):
farewell and God bless you all. Thank you.

Speaker 7 (01:54:55):
There we go.

Speaker 1 (01:54:57):
Amen, we'll come back.

Speaker 3 (01:55:00):
Get some of your phone calls together, A little goodbye,
uh and well said, and Amen more Ricking Bubba coming up.
The final segment in Ricking Bubba history coming your way right.

Speaker 19 (01:55:14):
After this.

Speaker 4 (01:55:17):

Speaker 3 (01:55:21):
And uh by by, I just uh you know, I
want to say a few things echo. And first I
want to say this.

Speaker 12 (01:55:30):
My shoa, oh, you're just a little dope, you goodle dope,
a little TV weeny dope.

Speaker 2 (01:55:35):
My shooa, hey, a little nervous now, Hey, a little
nervous now, Hey, a little nervous now, my shooa.

Speaker 12 (01:55:41):
Oh you got those bookieyes, those buggy ayes, those big
big old buggy ayes.

Speaker 2 (01:55:45):
My shoa hey, a little mad now, temper now, hey
mad hey, little mad.

Speaker 1 (01:55:50):
Now my show like a drundy rat, a drowning rat,
you little bit. And take it ain't a botter high.
There's a classic right there.

Speaker 2 (01:56:08):
That was an after lunch special well q O four production.

Speaker 3 (01:56:12):
Room against so so many, so many memories and and
and I won't add to what you've already said, because
you've said it all. As far as the audience and
the sponsors and and and all the people that you
and I have had the opportunity to to work with
over the years. It just when you go back to
that that moment, uh, when we're sitting at a lunch

(01:56:36):
and we're we're looking through some radio book that had
ideas for contact contest had yeah, yeah, and somebody sent
it to me. And you know, I was a rocking
morning DJ and you know all and whatever and so, uh,
you know, I was riding the wave of the of
the hype of the morning at Stravaganza and uh and.

Speaker 2 (01:56:54):
So we was Alabama's last outlay in a well deserved
title at the time.

Speaker 3 (01:57:00):
Yeah, I've had so many people come up to me
and go, so Jesus really is real. I've been listening
to you since then. So yeah, he is and he
does transform lives. And I thank you from the bottom
of my heart because we always talk about you know,
Heyrick Bubba was the engineer y'all were reading this book.
Y'all said, let's see if we can do a Southern
version of Shakespeare call it good O Boy Theater. In

(01:57:22):
about thirty seconds before we went on the air, those
words that will now be etched in history. I slided
over to Bubba and I said, I think you should
read it. And he was the engineer at the time,
came in on the show as a character, and you know,
there's always there's been that side. That's funny. Hey, Rick,
you talked to Bubba. He was the engineer we made

(01:57:42):
this happen. You took a chance. Who puts an engineer
on the air. But I want to shift it the
other way. Y'all want to understand the chance that Bubba
took on me. You know, I was in a very
dark period of my life. I was not a good man.
And for him, who was a good man and still
is a good man, for him to look at me

(01:58:03):
and say, I'll take a chance on you, that's often
overlooked and it shouldn't be because he took a chance
on me too, And.

Speaker 1 (01:58:10):
We were having a lot of fun, right and now
we did pray for you, yes, and and and and
in on it.

Speaker 5 (01:58:22):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:58:22):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:58:22):
You know the list you were given every day of
names we shouldn't take calls from, don't put her on
so so so anyway, you know, it was if the
show has done so so many things. But when you
look at the fact that I can actually look at
it and say lost when the show started, redeemed when
the show ends, if nothing else was done, that's a

(01:58:45):
good And And there's been so many other people that
because of this platform, and they've watched us live out
our faith here on the show. The same things happened
in their lives. And when Bubba and I stand before God,
that's what that's the true trophy.

Speaker 1 (01:58:59):
Now we laugh out. We never received any awards from
the industry, and for good reason, we.

Speaker 2 (01:59:04):
Tried to give them a hint fourteen years in by
naming the c D fourteen years Still no awards, right, yeah,
never really got the hand on that, right.

Speaker 3 (01:59:12):
But when we stand before God, and I don't know
which one of us will get there first, or who knows,
we might be here when he returns.

Speaker 1 (01:59:17):
But that was like a miss, don't it.

Speaker 3 (01:59:19):
But you know, we'll stand before God and he'll look
down and he'll say, I hope to both of us
that we and we certainly have things we could have
done better, but as an overall mercy and grace comment.

Speaker 1 (01:59:31):
Well done, good and faithful servants, and we're shooting for well.

Speaker 3 (01:59:35):
The impact for the kingdom is and there's so many
things that are that are important and fun, but at
the end of it all that will be it. So
I am forever grateful for you also taking a chance
on me. Thank you, sir, And I'm here, yeah, and
thankful to all the guys you mentioned. I mean, we've
we've worked with just some incredible people over the years,
and and but it all kind of it all turns

(01:59:56):
with the audience. I mean, we love our advertisers and
and we've never apologized for advertisers. But if there's no
access to you, the audience, these salespeople have no hope.
They can go out and pitch it all they want to.
But if these if the audience doesn't respond. So we
understand that the advertisers, you know, that's the source of income.

(02:00:17):
But the audience is what brought the advertisers to the show.
The salespeople their commissions are tied to the advertisers that
you brought to the show, and you, the audience, through
all these different avenues have afforded both of us a
life that us growing up in small town Alabama, we
could have not even I don't even think I even
dreamed of it. I would have been afraid to even

(02:00:40):
dream of it.

Speaker 1 (02:00:40):
I wouldn't. I wouldn't have even thought of even remotely.

Speaker 2 (02:00:43):
I couldn't imagine.

Speaker 3 (02:00:45):
I remember, I will never forget the day my first
radio job and they called me in. I was doing
afternoons then which, by the way, sidebar, that is the
sweetest radio gig ever. What time am I supposed to
be at work?

Speaker 1 (02:00:59):
One pm?

Speaker 3 (02:01:01):
Cut a few commercials, get on the air at seven,
you're back out there. And so when the guy set
me down for the first time, which led to me
meeting Bubba and said, hey, gonna give you a promotion.

Speaker 1 (02:01:11):
And I was like, great, move you the mornings. I said,
who listens to the radio in the morning and he
said normal people? Rick, And he said that's actually we
considered to be the you know, the number one slot.
And I said really and he said, tell you what,
remember this how we thought then? Yeah, right now you're
knocking down two seventy five a week. That's two hundred

(02:01:32):
and seventy five dollars, gonna bump you to three hundred.

Speaker 14 (02:01:36):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (02:01:36):
I thought to myself, this is it. I mean, yeah,
I mean I have made it.

Speaker 2 (02:01:41):
I'm gonna learn while I spend all that money.

Speaker 1 (02:01:43):
Right, I'm doing.

Speaker 3 (02:01:44):
Radio for three hundred dollars a week, and which was
and so and then of course that led to Bubba
and I, you know, getting to work together through a
bizarre thing we've covered with him going to be an
engineer somewhere after doing a lot of things in radio
on us knowing each other in in college in the
campus radio station, And I agree with you. I don't
know that there's anything that has gets more credit for

(02:02:06):
both of us stepping into the industry than that campus
radio stare at Jacksonville State Aunniversity. I mean that that's
where we learned it. Now, the rest of the classes,
I don't remember much about them, but I do remember
that campus radio station.

Speaker 2 (02:02:19):
I remember a little bit about Spanish. How's your Spanish today?

Speaker 7 (02:02:22):
Right?

Speaker 3 (02:02:22):
So? And somebody we lost Masuko this year. I know
somebody asked if Missuko was going to call the show
and I had to tell them she pace, yeah, recently
needs to be on the list, doesn't you. Yeah, well, yeah,
I guess in a way she does. Yeah, that that
Spanish team is growing. Yeah, who fled Communist Cuba and
Castro tried to kill her and her family. And she
told us that working with us in Spanish made he

(02:02:43):
wanted to go back to that Those are those are
all all great moments. So yeah, there's just there's just
so much to be thankful for. And and and one
of the things I talked about a little bit yesterday.
But I want to double down to the audience, is
that that you know, it's it's all funny, and that
is what is you know. I'm so glad. Laughter is certainly,

(02:03:04):
I hope the foundation of the show as far as
getting you through some tough times.

Speaker 1 (02:03:08):
But you also have gotten us through some tough times.

Speaker 3 (02:03:10):
I mean, there's there's been there's been some pretty tragic
things over the last thirty one years that you know,
trying to go back and step back on the show
and do another show. And and I hope, I really do.
I hope that and I feel pretty good about this.
I hope I can say to you, Bubba, Greg Speedy, Adler,

(02:03:31):
don One all the people that that my my goal
was that I give you the best I can give
you on this show every day. And uh and and
I hope that that that that has been accomplished. And
we have had to do it as a pretty adverse conditions.
And and so the audience y'all have y'all have seen
us through so many things with just covering us in prayer,

(02:03:52):
and we've seen God move through.

Speaker 1 (02:03:54):
That's just been incredible.

Speaker 3 (02:03:55):
So I'm we have had thirty one years and I
know that you know, this ends an era, and you
know there'll be things that Bubba and I are going
to be doing individually in the future. Who knows, you know,
if we'll do something together again down the road. Who
knows what God's gonna do. But Rick and Bubba will
stand on its own, and these other things may be successful,

(02:04:18):
and I think that Bubba will thrive. I hope that
that I'll thrive and the guys will thrive. But nothing
will ever be Rick and Bubba. And there's no intention
to do something.

Speaker 1 (02:04:29):
That duplicates, replicates, or exceeds Rick and Bubba.

Speaker 3 (02:04:33):
It can be successful on its own right and and
hopefully radically successful, but Rick and Bubba is a moment
in time, and Rick and Bubba will always be Rick
and Bubba. And there is no ricking Bubba without Bubba.
And there is no ricking Bubba without Rick. And I'm
glad that I'll be tied.

Speaker 1 (02:04:49):
To this for the rest of my life.

Speaker 2 (02:04:51):
You know, I think school Clothes and Tony probably give
us the greatest quote on that we ain't right, but
at least we know it. That wasn't where we ain't right,
but at least we know it, So I hope, Yeah,
I hope all of you will continue to pray for
us as we transition into the next phase of our lives.

Speaker 3 (02:05:09):
Lord willing, hope all of you have a very merry Christmas.
Hope all of you enjoyed those best of moments that
will be running all the platform platforms are running on
right now. But Bubba, we keep going back to that
word gratitude, and it just feels like.

Speaker 2 (02:05:21):
It's not it's not enough. It's not a thank y'all,
thank all of you.

Speaker 3 (02:05:24):
Thank all of you, Thank every one of you out there,
and we look forward to hopefully interacting with you and
what we all have coming up next if the Lord allows,
But we will always be grateful for what has already
happened in our lives with all of you.

God bless you, ricking Bubba, ricking Bubba.

Speaker 36 (02:06:03):

that definitely are not earning anything by our talent. Uh,
and we are proof positive that God is graceful and
that he definitely has a sense of humor. And I
just want to thank y'all for coming out and enjoying
