(02:18):
a good bit to cover on the program today. I
did have a situation yesterday. You know, this is what
we do for a living, and we've all been doing
it a long time, and it's it's a unique thing.
It's very very unique. And there's always that little that
that little fine line that we walk where we we

(02:39):
we get here and once we get to to work,
see our life at home and all the what I
call the innocent people, our families, they they they they
go on with their lives and what they don't realize
though we we every single day we face five big hours.

(03:00):
I'm talking about five big ones. Yeah, twenty segments, and
we would love for each segment to have content, I
know that's become the catch word now, content that you
the audience would find interesting, informative, humorous. So we want
to entertain, we want to inform, we want to inspire

(03:23):
if we can, we want to do it all. And
so sometimes they may or may not be even realized
they're being used for content, you know, and they don't
really know. You know, we talked about the other day
when we had a guy you know, clearly break the
bro code right in front of me, right at church,
right there in the lobby. Led to a follow up conversation.

(03:47):
I love when you think you have the ship steadied
and then somehour rocket you know, some of our coming.
So you know, we now you just got to come
up with all kinds of stuff, and it was out
of nowhere. I was just sitting there and you know,
met my wife for a little early dinner because you know,
we now eat with the elderly, and we we go

(04:07):
to everything that the old folks go to. You know,
everything's done locked away. You know, you look up and
it's five thirty and you basically have done everything you
need to do for the day. And so so we
were we just we got home and we were in
separate cars because she was somewhere, and then I was
out and had an appointment. We'll talk about and tying

(04:28):
the speedies deal today. And so you know, you ever
get that, Look, if you're out, I see where you are,
last three sixty, Why don't we just eat? So and
so I'll just I'll just come to where you are.
You want to come all the way home and let's
go back out. It sounds great and and well, and
then you ever get this speech from your wife, this
this thing that only women deal with. Men couldn't care less. Well,

(04:50):
I don't know if I'm dressed for this. Oh yeah,
And I love how women will rank where they're going. Now,
if we were going such and such, I'm fine. But
if we're gonna eat here, then I may not be
dress appropriately for there. But it would have been fine
if we'd eaten there. Do men ever think like that? Ever?
We will not have that conversation. Yeah, do we ever

(05:11):
think I'm dressed for this? Yeah? Right, I'm And then
if you ever you ever heard camp women, whether refer
to themselves and each other, they use the word cute
or you wouldn't believe this cute little uh skirt I
picked up a man, you would never say, you wouldn't
believe it's cute little shirt I got.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
But anyway, so this phrase, well, I just don't want
you to think when I get there that I'm not
I mean, I just I don't look great. And I said,
I said, honey, you're She's already declared it. I said, honey,
you're beautiful no matter what I think, You're just a
beautiful woman. I really don't care. Well, I mean, I
just I mean, I but I want to eat here,
don't you. Yeah? Well, I mean I hate if you'd

(05:49):
have to wait. I mean, I could go get fixed
up a little more. Baby. Can we just eat? No
one cares, baby, you're beautiful. It's lunchtime. Yeah, can you
come on, babe? And uh, so, well, I just want
to warn you I'm not very cute. And I'm like, yes,
you are, you always are. So anyway, we have dinner
and it was great, and of course she looked fine.

(06:12):
And speaking of swag, she had on the uh the
waffle of women's sweatshirt. Well then she had to look cute. Yeah,
and I mean, how much more precious can you be?
And so so we get home and all of a
sudden I see her get her phone out, and Sherry,
I will give her credit in a society that has
their nose in their phone, my wife doesn't. So a
matter of fact, I wish she would care about the

(06:34):
phone a little more. Sometimes hard to get in touch
with it. Yeah, and so but she all of a sudden,
I hear I hear like stuff involving us. Hey, but
what are you doing? Baby? Oh? Look at there. You've
got episode two of the camp Pass thing. And I'm like, hey,
let's uh, let's uh man. I wish I had something

(06:54):
to say right now where we could that would pull
you away from that phone. I found myself and I
want her to watch it. What do we say there?

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:01):
And camp House? It's like what happens to campus? Why
would I, I mean, do it? Who else? I'm thinking
to myself, shouldn't I want my wife to watch it?
But inside I'm like, what all did we say? You know?
And then all of a sudden I hear, well, you
know our wives? And I said, I'm screaming it at myself.
It's me talking. Are we convincing our wives that we're

(07:23):
doing more business? We are so we can stay longer.
Anybody makes that accusation, they're out of their mind. And
so and then all of a sudden, look, I see
her look down and I to see her eyes coming up,
and she goes, y'all have a whole little different world
down the campuse, don't you? And I'm like, humorous, humorous?
You look so key attempting to be finey listen to
that music that your son picked out? Yeah, isn't that good?

(07:45):
You know? And but but but you know, do y'all
ever walk around like going what all did I say?
And all the show? And then you and then you
get to the you get to the like not just
what did I say? And doing a live show that
if she won't chase the archive, maybe she'll never know
what did I say? And do on that thing that's
sitting on the YouTube channel that's there for her to
look at anytime. You won't, Yeah, yucking it up.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
This is boring.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
That's just boring.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
You don't want to watch, that's just guys being dudes.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
You don't this is that new episode. You didn't tell
me y'all had a new episode.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
I probably didn't know, No, Greg, I've heard from you
a many a time.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Well, I'm gonna get in trouble for that one. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
you got to decide whether it's worth it or not.
I know, but your mind, you know, you know what
it is. You're what it was, Greg. You're right because
I know you did this too. We all do. I
thought to myself, how far did I go to get
a life? Yes?

Speaker 5 (08:34):
Yeah, because yes, times you go too far. Yeah, it's
just like the other day. I just and it's I
love my I do the test balloon. Hey how you doing?

Speaker 1 (08:42):
What you've been up to?

Speaker 5 (08:43):
And and if if I come back with a couple
of questions and nothing's ever brought up, like hey you
funny man today or.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Hey what, then I know, okay you heard it.

Speaker 5 (08:52):
But if she never brings it up, then I'm like, okay,
I think I might be okay.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Well, women, and you know, if there's one out there, yeah,
tell one of her friends right on me and I
know who you are. Yeah, well what about this? What about?
What about when you hit the house? And because women,
unlike men, you know, they don't compartmentalize anything, as it
was once said to me, they're thinking about everything all
the time. Okay, so they can't hide it. Let me

(09:16):
tell you when you there's no need to try those
little questions. You ever stepped into that house and a
little cold in here? And I don't mean temperature. Yeah,
you see them over there. It's always something involved that
they're doing something that they won't look up. They won't
look over at you, you know, and they're looking at that,
and they won't just say I'm mad. You have to
pick at it just a little bit. Hey, how's everything going? Fine? Yeah,

(09:37):
that one is going.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
They always doing something, but then what they do go
into it is non stuff you know right, yep, I do.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
And then they always try to say they want to
address it. Do you think what you did on the
show day was the right thing to do?

Speaker 6 (09:48):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (09:49):
And we are off right now? What watch me chip
away at this until finally they start screaming, you're doing.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
Right red, you know what?

Speaker 1 (09:59):
And then I quickly fake a phone call I'm sorry, hello.

Speaker 5 (10:02):
Well, we'll definitely stop and deal with that then.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
So so I don't know. We got I kept waiting
and she just kept looking. I was like, isn't that funny?
Isn't that funny? We do funny? Why do you have
that thing? You're sitting there? What is that on your head?
I said, you were just trying to be funny. Come on,
we'll be back to camp out.

Speaker 7 (10:24):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Hey, let me tell you right now, Angel Studios. They've
done it again. They've done it again. Go to angel
dot com slash Rick. Uh, you're going to love the
movie Brave the Dark. Greg and I were just talking
about it. Brave the Dark. If you, if you have something,
if you some of us have these testimonies. I know
I do to a certain extent where you're out there

(10:54):
and you think of those people in your life that
didn't give up on you, uh, even when maybe everybody
else did, and they thought, you know what, all the
things that about you. You come from a bad situation.
You don't have this. You've gotten in trouble for that.
They put you in jail. You got you can't seem
to stay, you can't seem to act right. And then
you look around and everybody's giving up on you. But
let me tell you something. This is a story about

(11:16):
a teacher that just saw this young man. Even though
everybody else thought that that young man was worthless, this
teacher just did not. Now does that mean it's easy?
Did the teacher have to go through a lot? Yes?
It is a great movie and I think you're gonna
love it. It's called Brave the Dark. So if you
want to find out everything you know about the movie,

(11:37):
go to angel dot com, slash rick, Angel dot com,
slash Rick and let me hear from you. I want
to know how much you love this movie, Brave the Dark.
Don't miss it. Dad. You know, this is back when
everybody I know the new thing now and I have
one of these and I like it where you put
a code in the door to get in. This is

(11:58):
when everybody just had a key to your house. You know,
there were no other options. You had a key. So
keep in mind that I lived about an hour and
a half from mom and dad, okay, and in another city. Okay.
So I get there and knock on the door and
Dad comes door and says that boy, you ain't got
your key. I said, na I said, you know what,

(12:19):
I lost my key. You lost the key to this house? Yes, sir, well,
good grief. Rick. Now somebody is going to break in
our house. I said, Dad, are you are you serious?

Speaker 4 (12:32):
We had?

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Now somebody's got a key to the house. I said, Dad,
do you think a person's going to find wherever I
left the key? Search the whole country, trying every door.
I said, let's just break it down to Alabama. Let's
just keep it in the state. Let's keep it in
the county. I said, first of all, the address is
in Grave Key, Jacksonville. Hey, good, now go down. Rix

(12:56):
lost his key. Now somebody get in their house. I'm like, Dad,
nobody can take that key and go around to every door.
You know. So he found a key, I tell you
one time, I'm starting on this house right here. Yeah,
and we're gonna try every single house because I'm a
criminal and I want to break in. I now got
a key to a random house somewhere. Of course, then
he picked up on our sarcasm. He started playing along. Yeah,

(13:18):
you know, overdoing it? Ya sure? But what I remember
with we were we were laughing as hard as and
so you think somebody is going to find that key.
So there's the key to the house. And now it's
just out there, and you believe us. I'll tell you
one thing, and then of course I had a few things.
Yes he did, then I then I was. I got

(13:40):
his many analogies on stupidity, and there's tons of those
speaking of things that just seemed painfully obvious. So we
got a new Captain America coming out because he's throwing
his mighty I'm Captain. Well, so I wonder I for
River River understands the name him, right, Captain America. Yeah,

(14:02):
he even has a little Captain American T shirt. Captain
America coming ready. Captain America is even you know, has red,
white and blue, and oh yeah, that's what the shirt
hence the name he has.

Speaker 5 (14:16):
He has a shield pillow that he will charge you
with and he doesn't tell you when.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
He's let me tell you, little boys, they don't. If
you hear it, yell those who oppose the shield my shield.
So uh so, Anthony Mackie is the new Captain America.
He was Captain of America's like sidekick, and now he
is Captain America. Yes, and what was the Captain America?

(14:42):
Not not the actor, but his name Steve. What is
he in the what's his name? Steve Rogers? I think
I think that's right, you know, Steve Rodgers. You know,
he's got to deal with that. And for some reason
it appears that Harrison Ford turns into a Red Hulk,
yes in the movie, which is odd.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
Yes, he's Steve Rogers.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
By the way, about the Red Hull. If y'all need me,
I'm over here.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
So this is Captain in that Brave New World.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
You know what I say to me, we're calling that
thank you Fielder green Good. But anyway, so the actor
Anthony Mackie is going to tell us the things that
Captain America represents. Okay, just hang on right here we go.

Speaker 8 (15:24):
For me, Captain America represents a lot of different things,
and I don't think the term, you know, America should
be one of those representations, like it's about a man
who keeps his word, who has honored dignity and integrity.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
I don't know that's I don't think you can be
Captain America and it not include America. It's in the name,
it's in the name.

Speaker 9 (15:51):
I don't think the term America should be one of
those representations.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Captain America represents a lot of things, but America is
not one of them. Well, she's a captain, so why
to promote the movie Bud Right, February fourteen, Right, I
would have been people going after America a captain I
hate America? You know what? What does that even mean?

Speaker 9 (16:11):
By I even included the longer section of the clip
because it's there's a nine second clip where he just
says that part.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
He I I played the longer clip. It doesn't sound
any better.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Right? That does this mean he wont to acknowledge the
new Gulf of America.

Speaker 9 (16:29):
It's a person that has that keeps his word, who
has honored dignity and integrity. So you don't think those
are American values, is what you're saying. You think that's
not an American thing. You think that's that people. I
gotta live that way.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah, I got an issue of the whole thing. Then
you're not Captain Integrity. You're Captain America. I would say
it's more about America than anything because it's in the
name it is. I'm all about you know, the integrity.
That's a great characteristic. But you're not Captain Integrity. No,
you're Captain America. Good can you imagine me being like,
you know, Captain Biscuits, tell me about this name. Well,

(17:02):
I tell you it's not about biscuits. You're literally saying
you the captain of biscuits.

Speaker 5 (17:07):
And you know, I'll misremember things. But Captain America's history,
what wasn't he.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Very patriot.

Speaker 5 (17:19):
Ultimate He loved our country and would die for it,
and that's why he's Captain America.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
But now he's saying that doesn't make any sense. And
you and by the way, you are correct on the text.
I want you to imagine that you want to fill
theaters with this brand, and I will tell you this,
uh this is this is known because the Marvel people
and I don't know what the DC people where they're headed.

(17:46):
But they're making the mistake that so many companies have made,
is they've forgotten why people were excited about their product,
and now they're trying to give us all these weird
movies and weird storylines that were not interested in. They're
leaving the brands that like everybody knows, and they're trying
to make you like the superheroes and only like some
comic book weirdo wouldn't even know who they are.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
Carlett witch.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Yeah, and then and then nobody's going to see these movies.
Then they try to tell you that everybody wants to
see a superhero film that is only women, and then
people don't go, uh, they're they're they're destroying the brand.
And then can you imagine sitting there right now and
hearing the actor, who I like him and everything he's in,
saying something like this, You're like, really really needed people

(18:30):
to come see the movie, really would like people to
come see it. Now you're going to anger h Right now.
Trump just won in a landslide. America is on the
on the mend. People are kind of starting to be
more patriotic now, and you go out and tell everybody
that Captain America is about a lot of things and
America is not one of them. You're killing us. Yeah,

(18:53):
yeah you are. And I think you hit on something.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
I think that's what these these Hollywood actors and actresses
that they're rebelling against America because they're mad that we
voted Trump in and so they're they're in denial. So
now America is a bad thing, because how dare y'all
do that? And so we're gonna we're going to defy
y'all and still push this narrative. That's that's why they lost,

(19:19):
because America was done with it and they did.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
They just can't stand it. I love the texture out.
They said, look I'm a Democrat and hey, all this
didn't work. No said, how about a different plan?

Speaker 9 (19:31):
Yeah, and Harrison Ford turns into a big red hulk.
They could have had like that represent China, Captain America.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
I don't know why we got red hull.

Speaker 4 (19:43):
Harrison Ford. It's not real though.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
You have to get some different gloves, Greg, I think
Captain America is about America.

Speaker 7 (19:50):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Trump is doing something else up Trump. So here he is.
Donald Trump is saying what Greg, I don't know if
you know this speedy adler. People are saying it's the
greatest first week in presidential history. Uh so, so here
we go. Here is Trump? Sure, he's saying, yeah, she's great.

Speaker 10 (20:20):
They said was the greatest week opening week in presidential history,
and I think, you know.

Speaker 7 (20:25):
Couldn't be a hell of a lot better.

Speaker 10 (20:27):
Even CNN is saying this guy is amazing. I couldn't
believe it. I said, did CNN really say that? Because
nobody watches so nobody was able to Confron with.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
Confirm.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Oh boy, first week they say it's amazing. Uh. Even
even CNN's talking about this guy is amazing.

Speaker 11 (20:53):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
There's a lot going on now. This one got a
lot of a lot of stir yesterday. Is Trump calling
for CONN to abolish the income tax? Sounds good to me.
So let's hear be very rich again.

Speaker 10 (21:11):
And it's going to happen very quickly. It's time for
the United States to return to the system that made
us richer and more powerful than ever before. Do you know,
the United States in eighteen seventy to nineteen thirteen all tariffs,
and that was the richest period in the history of
the United States, relatively speaking, in other words, relatively And

(21:32):
they set up the Great Tariff Commission of eighteen eighty seven.
And this commission had one function, what to do with
all the money that we took in. It was so
enormous that they had no idea. It was a blue
ribbon committee was set up eighteen eighty seven and what
to do with all of the money that we had.

(21:53):
And again Teddy Roosevelt was a beneficiar because when McKinley
was killed, he took over this vast sum of money,
and he did all of those national parks and all
of the other things. And I'm not knocking him, but
he was given a vast amount of money and that
was all made through tariff.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Says we had no income tax. The income tax came
in in nineteen thirteen.

Speaker 10 (22:15):
As I said in my speech last week, instead of
taxing our citizens to enrich foreign nations, we should be
tariffing and taxing foreign nations to enrich our citizens.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Does that make sense? Makes sense to me? Idea? The
only thing that I do want to be fair. If
something is tariffed and it does come in, won't we
pay more for it as a consumer? He's walked that out. No,
And I'm not saying that's negative. I'm just saying we
need to be clear on that. I mean, if somebody
agrees to the tariff, that means the cost of it

(22:48):
goes up. Now we are making money as a country,
but you're also going to pay a little more for
those that have tariffs on them.

Speaker 9 (22:54):
And I'm noticing he's using it as a leverage tool.
Oh yeah, right, and you know kind of art of the.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Dealing it a little bit, I'm noticing.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Right, Yeah, No, no, and I'm not. But I love
what the tariffs did, Like say for Columbia that worked out.
They were like, oh no, funny guy. On the text
he said, my wife had stopped making dinner for me,
so I gave her a twenty five percent tariff. Now
I'm getting it again. I'm getting getting dinner again. So
but yeah, using them as a negotiation tool and to

(23:25):
get our way into getting better position, all about it,
all about it. Yeah, but uh but you know it
kind of goes back to the national sales tax, which
you know, I'm a flat tax guy over national sales tax.
I like the flat tax better because I think we
end up with more money. You know, the national sales tax.
People say, well then then, but now you're pricing goods.

(23:47):
So yeah, I'm keeping more my money, but I'm also
paying more for for for products. You know, there's there's
the give and take. But but anything we could do
to release, you know, the power of us taking more
of our hard earned money home and then making decisions
about what we buy and don't buy. I do lean

(24:08):
there though. I do like that better. So anyway, it
has been a week and I have time for this
close Jim Acosta is out at CNN. Yep, after eighteen years,
so we all remember this moment. Yeah, this is a
doozy right here.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
So here it is as a flashback to Trump's first term.
Jim Acosta versus Trump.

Speaker 12 (24:31):
Your campaign had an ad showing migrants climbing.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Over walls and so. But they weren't actor They're not
going to be doing they weren't actors.

Speaker 7 (24:39):
Well, no, it's true.

Speaker 10 (24:40):
Do you think they were actors. They weren't actors. They
didn't come from Hollywood. These were people. This was an
actual you know, it happened a few days ago, and there.

Speaker 12 (24:50):
Are hundreds of miles away. Though there are hundreds and
hundreds of miles away, that's not an invasion.

Speaker 10 (24:55):
Honestly, I think you should let me run the country.
You run CNN, and if you did it, well, you're ratings.

Speaker 12 (25:00):
Let me if I may ask question this president, If
I may ask question, are you worried?

Speaker 10 (25:05):
That's enough?

Speaker 12 (25:06):
That's a president that says, ask one of the other.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Folks, that's enough. That's enough this president.

Speaker 12 (25:12):
I had one of the if I may ask on
on the Russian investigation, are you concerned that you may.

Speaker 10 (25:18):
I'm not concerned about anything, whether you may have investigation
because it's a hoax.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Are you that's enough? Put down the mic, this president.

Speaker 12 (25:24):
Are you worried about indictments coming down in this investigation?

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Wow, mister president, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 10 (25:32):
CNN should be ashamed of itself having you working for them.
You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn't be working
for CNN.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Go ahead.

Speaker 13 (25:41):
Wow, he's out, and he's out, and they moved him
to the graveyard shift. Yeah, and uh, I think he
might have made the choice to ultimately, but they had
him on at midnight.

Speaker 5 (25:52):
Yeah, they're like, yeah, you know, he's like that way,
you're putting me right. Somebody was showing that one too,
where he was down the border wall. He says, I
don't know what the deal is there, just wall. There's
nothing going on here there.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah, it's peaceful here because of the wall. Gym top
of the hour.

Speaker 7 (26:07):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
That's also the text line on the text line, you
are correct. Texture. Do tariffs not give me a choice
that income tax negates? Yes, great point, and I agree
with you one hundred percent. If avocado's from Mexico are
too expensive, I'll buy something else with the fruit of
my labor instead of having it stolen every two weeks

(26:35):
and again in April. Totally agree with you. Yeah, yeah,
I prefer The only reason why I brought that up
is you know how it is. You heard this even yesterday,
someone who opposed Trump, somebody on the left is going
to say, we Americans are the ones who ultimately pay tariffs.
But as you pointed out, this same bunch that seems
to be all about choice. You're saying, but oh wait

(26:57):
a minute there, mister or missus Democrat, have a choice.
If there's something that has a teriff on it and
I think it's too expensive, I'll buy a competing brand
that did not get terrorsts put on it. I have
a choice. I don't have a choice when it comes
to income tax, which, how we ever let income tax happen.
I do not know that should have been a revolt,
but they smoothly just start taking it out of your paycheck.

(27:20):
If they made you pay, if they made you pay
an invoice, we wouldn't tolerate it. And then they've douped
g in to thinking, hey, look I got a check
back from the government on my taxes. That just meant
All that means is you overpaid and they kept it
and they gave you no interest. That's all that means.
So anyway, but let's get to a really really important question,

(27:41):
and this is from email. Hey burd Hey Burge, this
is from This is from someone who hit a minute
said I put this on the text line, but I
don't think y'all saw it. And this is a very
serious issue. Okay, So you know we do serious things
on the show. We do, and we don't apologize for that.
And there's no doubt I agree with you, Erica. This

(28:02):
is this is serious. Good morning. I'll be in the
vox seats next Friday. Mm hmm okay, okay, I'm bringing
sausage balls. And I need you guys to know we
stopped the show for this because we saw your question.
I need to know how you feel about red lobster

(28:24):
biscuit mix. That's how I make mine. I don't want
to be kicked out or be a bit I say,
bring it on. That was good. I never had it.
I'd like to try it. I'd like to try I
don't know. Okay, I like it. Okay, so well, we've

(28:45):
had so many varieties. Nobody s I'm not being silly
I'm just ponderings here. That's just to ponder it. I say,
I'm just curious. Okay, yeah, I'm by curious.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
Nobody, I'm curious. I'm interested.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Okay, check it out. Is this a little bit of
a food there, devil?

Speaker 2 (29:14):
No?

Speaker 1 (29:14):
I think that just sounds good. It does.

Speaker 5 (29:17):
It just sounds good. Matter of fact, my mouth's water. Okay,
So picture my reds. But I want to I want
to play, you know, a bit of a devil's advocate here.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Scared of I'm not scared. I'm just saying, do you
tamper with something that you know works.

Speaker 5 (29:32):
Well if it's announced. Hey, look we have the standard,
but we're bringing some that have this.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Let's go. Yeah, all right, let me say this. Let
me say, let me say this to Erica. If she's
willing to go to our website, Rick burgesshow dot com,
go to Rick's Picks, take Nana's sausage ball recipe and
just insert the biscuit mix from Red Lobster, follow it

(30:00):
of the letter. I think, I'm okay. I don't want
I don't want her to be out there with some
rogue recipe throwing it in there. Let me tell you, dangerous.
You look, we've all seen it. Somebody shows up, they
got some, they got they got sausage balls. You look down,

(30:22):
you think yourself, that was what greasy.

Speaker 5 (30:24):
I get it, but you don't think I will grab
one on the way by.

Speaker 14 (30:27):
You will.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Let's just see what it is.

Speaker 5 (30:29):
Problem is if you have you go to two then
three before you know, you didn't have a bowl as
a mouth party.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
So all right, so we will. I don't really have
a problem with it. It feels a little bit like
they sometimes we think if over here, I'm at Red Lobster,
you know, which means you know, it's a fancy date.
I'm over at Red Lobster and they're bringing me their
biscuit and I'm digging it. Over here, somebody's bringing you know,

(30:58):
delicious sausage balls on an other day and I'm digging that.
We tend to think if you combine the two it
would be this great experience. That doesn't always happen now,
but I do like individual recipes. It's known in their family,
and hey, this is what I've brought. This is my
special and uh, we also have someone else that's coming

(31:18):
on the same day and they're bringing smoked checks mix
that they make on their smoke. They must have done
that for you never heard of smoke. You walk right
into that one. Is it smoking smoke? Smoking Jo smoke?
Check Smith? No, I think it smoked checks mix. Do
you think that they're smoke? He said, make it? No,

(31:41):
I just did a little joke. Oh that means that
about to say what it means? I had just gonna
have smoked flavoring. They smoked. They said that it adds
like more of am some ice c screaming on. Okay,
I'm sorry, go ahead shatter flavor chad flavor to them.
Uh huh, which I like? All right, So if it

(32:02):
if it has cheddar flavor in that in the biscuit mix,
now is their need for the cheddar cheese to be
put in a all? Okay? Does the biscuit mix now
cover the cheddar? Well?

Speaker 5 (32:12):
Look, Richard here from Montgomery known as Major Delay. Uh,
he said he brought some on the Big Year enders.
So we've had these sausage, but.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
So have we? Did we like them? Maje? Yeah, we
tore them up. Okay, I don't remember it. Yeah, you
were blacking out. They're saying yes to do the cheese anyway. Okay,
somebody says, I'm so hungry, Rick, I was hesitant at first.
I've already faced this, but it actually is pretty good.
I really wish you to put real. Yeah, pretty good

(32:40):
doesn't really sell it. I don't like.

Speaker 5 (32:42):
Pretty good, But aren't you because because we have the
recipe all the time that y'all have handed down, isn't
it kind of fun sometimes to have something a little different?

Speaker 1 (32:51):
I would like to I would like I'm interested, So
nobody likes.

Speaker 5 (32:56):
It's going to be like, hey, I've had a Snickers,
but right now I'm having a missing No one likes a.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Sure thing, but you're not guaranteed. Yes I do. I
love that. I bet you do, because we've had some problem.
Let's just be honest. We didn't really like so No,
we didn't never know what you're going to get. I
tell all of you out there, if you look at
your sausage balls and they look black, that's not good.
We're not crazy about it to much sausage.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
Pursage, So speaking of it too much.

Speaker 9 (33:24):
I got some beef jerky here and I'm just trying
it for the first time, and.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
It's just it's just not where'd you get me about?

Speaker 15 (33:31):
This?

Speaker 1 (33:31):
Is not good. Where'd you get it from the store?

Speaker 4 (33:35):
Okay, make fun of that, Greg, What do you have?

Speaker 9 (33:40):
You got beef jerky? And I'm telling I just took
a first body of it, and it's not good.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
I've never seen a beef jerky that that. Oh no,
I just looked at the meat stick. Look what it says.
Look what it says. Red lobster biscuit flavor does not.

Speaker 4 (33:56):
Actually I'm looking at it now. It's called a fatty.

Speaker 9 (34:01):
It's got too much that artist artificial smoke flavor to it.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
You guys know what I'm talking about. When they put
too much in that spot.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
So let me say this. I think they're gonna be delicious.
Let me say this. Eric, we're all in Erica. Go ahead.
Let's let's try it and Smokey Checks mixed. You can
come to Smokey Checks Mix.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
Me like that too much smoke?

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Whatever you want forgetting, Let's try.

Speaker 7 (34:25):
New is the Rick Burgess Show, by the way, I
just found out.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
And Greg, I hate you missed this because I know
how much fun it is when Adler is a little
frustrated and you heard that he actually thought those meat
sticks at and he's got enough to heal a nation.

Speaker 7 (34:52):
They didn't like him.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Gus he threw it away, and I'm talking about he
only thinks he's really mad about it. What's the flavor?
It's I thought they would be good.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
We're not getting breakfast delivered anymore. I'd be like. I
was like, all right, I'll get some.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Meat in me in the morning.

Speaker 9 (35:06):
And so I got I got these meat sticks called fatties,
and they taste terrible.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
You know what that was.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
It's not my style.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
Let me tell you. When you when you saw the
term fatty, old Adler rose up inside you and you
thought you said, some of the fattes. You know, You've
got to let me tell you what. What's the flavor?
It's meat? I know, but is there not a flavor there?
There's different? Are they chicken? So you can have others?

(35:37):
It's literally fatty and the beef. You don't get those
in the beef jerky world. And this technically is not
I never go the meat stick round. It's got to
be the jerky. The meat stick man. I don't like
snapp into a slim jim. I mean, I'm not a fan.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
I'm not.

Speaker 8 (35:56):
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
I'm not a huge beef stick guy. Now, you can
me just some straight up jerky we used to that
was good? How about those? Good about the Venison jerky
that when you got over at David? Yeah, yeah, cause
we'll get to do that this week. I'm a fan.
I don't want to.

Speaker 5 (36:18):
Suggest maybe, yeah, could you throw one out here to
us here? Look, no, no, I'm not even okay. What
I would say is cut that up, maybe for the
kids or something. Cut up some small pieces and then
put it in some eggs or something.

Speaker 9 (36:33):
That's not a bad idea, but boy, I got about
twenty of them to cut up. That's gonna take me
about a year sneaking them into their eggs.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
We having hash again? What about Kevin and Franklin.

Speaker 9 (36:46):
That's a good idea, that'll make them sick.

Speaker 5 (36:49):
And then somebody says Costco will take them back if
you take them back?

Speaker 4 (36:53):
Really yeah, because that's the thing with Costco. You're like,
this looks looks good.

Speaker 9 (36:58):
I've never tried it, but now after buy a one
hundred of them to try it out, all right?

Speaker 1 (37:01):
So also, and of course the audience, the audience, they
don't miss you know what I mean, they don't miss
from the email Hey bird, hey bird? Uh? I too,
him coming to the big Vox seats, and I'm bringing
breakfast too. I'm gonna bring some oat milk and granola. Good.
Greg will love it. It's award winning. It's award winning. Now.

Speaker 5 (37:19):
So uh let's see here we have these we have
those are good chumps.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
Yeah, chumps are good. See that. I thought it would
be like a chump, but just fatter, just a little
bit of weight on its bones.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
You know.

Speaker 4 (37:34):
I thought that's what it was gonna be.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Everybody, everybody saying, just give in their doggie treats. I'm sorry, buddy.

Speaker 5 (37:39):
Yeah, that's a fact, but it's a it's a it's
a good grab and go.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
I don't know if i'd have bought it for breakfast, Adler.
I'm just trying to gosh, the audience never misses. Hey,
I bet I bet Dave David the Kenyon would eat it.
Y'all that y'are terrible. Yeah, that's awful. So that's that's bad.
That's a funny.

Speaker 5 (37:59):
Take three point thirty ish a m. I was making
scrambled eggs.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
Oh look at you, everybody. No, I just brought me.
I just made me some. I mean I had it
like I got that. I mean, I just, you know,
because eggs are expensive now because of the ave on flu.

Speaker 10 (38:16):
No.

Speaker 5 (38:17):
I was just thinking, you know, every night, you know,
sometimes i'll uh, you know, I've told you all that
I'll beat Terry to bed and she'll stay up, you know,
and do some other things. And I've woke up to
little sticky notes that sayeah, say such and such as
in the refrigerator, and I'm like yes, And I just
looked all over the place for a sticky note today
and I couldn't find it.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
So I'm like my own eggs. I was like, you know,
take me about eight minutes to scrambled up some eggs.
So I brought some. I think that instead of a fatty,
would probably.

Speaker 9 (38:45):
Brought fatties for everybody. You didn't bring us any eggs,
thanks a lot.

Speaker 5 (38:49):
I woke up too, I dozed off. I woke up
at like ten and she was still up and and
I come busting out.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
You know, the door, like it's weird.

Speaker 15 (38:59):
It was.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Yeah. Then when I see what time it really is,
my brain locks in. I go, oh, yeah, three more out.

Speaker 5 (39:07):
And it's like people are it's like life is out here,
you know, and the dogs are running around the TV's on,
and she's.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
Just yeah, She's like, what's wrong.

Speaker 5 (39:15):
I'm like, huh, yeah, I got confused, right man, I
know we I know, we've just yeah, I'm sorry, I'm
probably interrupting you fixing me breakst the morning'.

Speaker 4 (39:24):
Yeah my bad.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Hey, what is the cutoff for you? Guys? When say
say it could be they could be a noise could
be you know, stopped up nose, could be I got
to go to the restroom. What what is the cutoff
for you that you'll stay up versus I'm going back
to sleep? Will you go back to sleep for a
half hour? Yes, I'll try. That's about it, though. Yeah,
that's the cutof, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (39:48):
I will go back to sleep for four minutes?

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Well you really? Yes?

Speaker 6 (39:52):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (39:52):
Well see yes on the fifteen minutes and four minutes
and all that. Here's my problem. I'm thinking, yeah, I
could go back to sleep, but now right now I've
gotten up pretty easily because something woke me up. If
I go back to sleep, the next time I get up,
I won't get up easily now, and now I'll be
back in that sleepy sleepy thing.

Speaker 4 (40:10):
That's wisdom.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
I'm a two alar I mean hit it twice the snooze.
I'm set up. I got my clock set faster than
it really is.

Speaker 4 (40:19):
And it's nine is a nine minute snoos? That's your standard?

Speaker 1 (40:22):
Yeah? Yeah, why do we all go with nine?

Speaker 4 (40:24):
It's not ten?

Speaker 1 (40:25):
I don't know. That feels weird.

Speaker 4 (40:27):
And do you fall asleep both back all the way
asleep both times?

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Gregor you the occasionally you go all that sleep rare?
Mostly I'm in that that area hung between a sleeping way. Yeah,
you know, do you think the were singing? Do you
think there's not a couple of times I've done that?
And I want to come here and tell you all
this great idea I've got. And once I basically just
not from alcohol but from sobered up.

Speaker 5 (40:51):
I'm like, that's the dumbest thing I've ever Why would
I even bring that up to anybody in land?

Speaker 1 (40:55):
It was awesome? Yeah, And what why in the world
am I singing extures midnight riders? That's definitely on the rotation. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (41:05):
I had a different agenda too with with making some eggs.
I wanted to smell the house up and maybe she
wakes up. You know, you're sending a message and she's like,
open the door.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
I'm sorry you had to fix it. You're sending a message.
Can I tell you just never Can I tell you
of all of all the wives held on the wives
I've never seen my wife said. Let me be perfectly clear.
I hear, I hear all this pressure you're trying to
put on us. I even put all the group group text.
If you think that I'm going to start fixing breakfast
for you and everybody so at the time you go,

(41:37):
I just I wouldn't get on fine. I wouldn't get
on board for that. Now if we if we make
some things throughout the day and there's some extra and
you want to take them into work, that's fine. Yeah, yeah,
but the hey, I got to make sure on my
list today, I've got to get something for reach's breakfast tomorrowning,
and it's probably not gonna I told her she didn't
have to do it, but she wanted to. She could,
but she didn't have to.

Speaker 4 (41:56):
I try nice of you to allow for that speed.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
I tried, you don't have to do that. I don't.
I tried. The other guy's wives are doing it. I
tried that one. Yeah, we can do a rotation. Shoot
someone to do it every day, sausage balls coming.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
I'm gonna hard boil a bunch of eggs.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
Bring them in here.

Speaker 4 (42:14):
We can peel them throughout the week and eat them.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
That sounds like great. Yeah, thanks a lot, mister fatty.

Speaker 4 (42:20):
We can put some fatties on the side.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
Want you go ahead and pill them? You know the
thing isn't he just trying to find a way to
get rid of him. Give them to your dog. We've saved.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
Anybody want to fatty?

Speaker 5 (42:29):
Here we go, anybody I do want the first time
he said that, I do want Greg to try one.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
As if there's as bad and nasty as you say
they are.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
I did not like it.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Well, I mean you were pouting about it. You're a
little palsy got man.

Speaker 4 (42:45):
All right, all hold hard bulls and eggs for everybody.
You can sit around and peel them and eat them.

Speaker 9 (42:52):
Two eggs and a fatty that don't get our breakfast
for everybody.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Don't eat my eggs. Somebody said, why did you guys
stop getting breakfast delivered? It's simple. They won't do it
for free anymore. There's ten seven hundred reasons we don't
do it anymore.

Speaker 7 (43:06):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
Okay, so today kind of this is you know this,
but we need to remember that horrible horrible incident. Was
it thirty nine years ago? Yeah, And what I'm talking
about is Challenger. That crash just terrible, terrible, terrible, horrible, horrible, horrible,

(43:35):
And you know we I remember being you know when
it happened. I remember, And you know, it's always bad
anytime these brave men and women who do all this
space exploration, when they do all of that and they
put their lives on the line, that's horrible anytime we've

(43:58):
lost one. But when you added a school teacher and yeah,
and you and you and you add a school teacher
and then that person, uh is it's taken. You know,
it's just tough and and you and with all these
children watching and her parents watching, it was just a horrible,

(44:21):
horrible Uh it was yeah, wow, Yeah, it was just terrible.
And so and then when you go back and we
all know now, it's like we're finding out with a
lot of things. You know, we've said this before, and
I think there that everybody feels this way to a degree.
But there's all the thing that really always bothers you

(44:43):
because sometimes things happen and you go, well, that couldn't
be avoided. But when you when you when something happens
and you look back and you go, gosh, that that
that could have been avoided. Uh that that that that's
when it makes it even sadder, because what we had
was a p R campaign. Uh were people were getting
a little bit Okay, we're using the shuttle, we're doing this,

(45:05):
what we're gonna do next? And yeah, this was good
publicity every you know, you've heard you've seen the documentaries
we have where people are saying the weather we knew
was a problem, it was too cold. Hey, we had
warned about the potential for this. Nobody would listen.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
We we were going to have this mission no matter what.
I wanted to keep it on time, didn't wanted to
delay it. And and so then you get into somebody
lost their life, the astronauts and this civilian, and you go,
that's sad enough. No, that's a risk. You always know that.
Everybody knows that's a risk. But then it gets sadder

(45:46):
when you go, oh, wait a minute, we made some
mistakes here that could have simply been corrected and this
wouldn't have happened. Wow o Ring Seal really yeah, good night. Yeah.
I mean, we've all seen the guy sitting in his
house on that documentary it said nobody would listen to me.

Speaker 5 (46:03):
Yeah, but the horrible footage of the family. All the
families are sitting there and they're watching it, and then
they realize, wait a minute, just seventy three seconds in,
there's an explosion, and then people are trying to figure
out what's going on?

Speaker 1 (46:19):
Is that look that doesn't look right right, you know
what I mean? And then it just takes a second
or two before they realize Oh no, yeap, oh no, yeah,
that that whole thing when you're I mean, when you're
looking at their family. It just I just hate, I
hate even remembering that video. It just it's awful, yeap,

(46:40):
just just to watch that realization hitting them, but just terrible. Yeah. Yeah,
And like you say, do you remember, let's see we
so we uh we were already out of school, right
or were you? Yeah? Because I think I was working. Yeah, yeah,
because we've been out of school more than thirty nine years,
so yeah, I remember a year. Yeah, but I remember

(47:02):
it when you worked in the meat department, that's right. Yeah. No,
no shocker here, no shocker here. I actually, but I
remember I didn't watch it, and then I had people,
you know, saying, did you hear what happened? You see it?
And then I went back to try to go what happened? Yeah,
And and I was like, boy, the guys at work
and the lady from the from the Daily came in

(47:24):
and told us said, hey, they said that shuttle blew
up right wow in eleventh grade, we got home, they
showed all the footage and all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it was just terrible, just awful. And uh but you know,
we we we you You have to remember you are
you showing it? Yeah, it's a are you showing the parents.

Speaker 5 (47:49):
Because the dad, the dad is I think trying to
reassure his wife.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
That's not what you're saying.

Speaker 9 (47:54):
And then yeah, it's a evidently there was a hot
gas leak, but in the moment, moments before this, uh,
and it it's actually kind of a good thing that
it was finally finished, if you know what I mean.
The the crew were were not in a great spot
before the catastrophic failure from what I understand.

Speaker 1 (48:16):
Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, and there's been all kinds
of you know, you don't know what's true, not true
about you know, supposedly, you know, there's there there's the
you know, the tale that there that they somehow found
the recording and it survived and they could hear them
and stuff that they were, you know, re citing the

(48:38):
Lord's Prayer and all that. I mean, I don't I
don't think any of that was ever proven. But but
we've we've heard all that. But here's what we do know,
and is that they knew they were in trouble before
they were gone. You know, it wasn't a I'm flying
one moment and then I'm then I'm gone the next
you know. They they knew they were in trouble before
before we yea, yeah.

Speaker 9 (49:00):
They named some craters on the Moon after the after
the crew, which to me, maybe do stars instead, maybe
do stars instead?

Speaker 1 (49:12):
I don't know. No, that's that that business you can buy.
Oh there's that. Yeah, there's that too. Yeah, yeah, which.

Speaker 4 (49:20):
Away, Now, I don't think it should be craters. I
don't think it should be craters named after them. That's like,
I mean, you know.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
Yeah, I didn't even know that, so thanks to make
sure I do know it. But the yeah, it was
again back to the the worst part about it. Was hey, avoidable. Yeah,
that's the that's the worst.

Speaker 5 (49:44):
Well, the record I'm sitting here because every year we
refresh our memory. But the the record low temperatures that morning.
If you're just too young, you don't know what's going on, right, Yeah,
it had shifted the rubber O rings and and uh
and then that didn't that that the the the joints

(50:05):
and the seals couldn't they they didn't seal up.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
And so that's what happened. So and there was one
guy especially that was concerned about it. Yeah, yeah, I
would listen to him. Well, I can still see and
I can't remember the uh what that one is called,
but but I remember the last scene. He's sitting in
his house and he's not by a fireplace, and he's saying,
I tried to tell everybody. I mean I went over

(50:30):
and no one would listen to me. Yeah, And he said,
and then and then you talked to his daughter and uh,
I think it was a daughter, and she said, I
remember him calling me. He was he was saying that
today's a bad day. This is gonna be bad. Yeah,
but I mean he called it. He called it because
he knew. So there you go. And so we'll we'll

Speaker 1 (54:34):
Hey, I have to I have to talk about this

I can't imagine being that folly. I was only in
it for ten minutes and I was like, I don't
think I can see it. I got a little skathing.

Speaker 9 (55:08):
I'm not saying it was foggy this morning, but on

I'm seriously all this is on there and we keep
hitting big money. It's true.

Speaker 4 (59:36):
All you tell us loose of five hundred bucks has
worked like a thousand bucks.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
Okay, it's a garbage.

Speaker 17 (59:42):
Town, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (59:43):
Guys am, I can you imagine my office voicemail today?
Oh everybody want to be somebody?

Speaker 8 (59:51):
Now?

Speaker 1 (59:51):
We can't do it with everybody. Top of the hour.

Speaker 7 (59:54):
This is the Rick Burdgers Show, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
So you know, when you start seeing something happening in
a new phrase starts to take hold and you're not,
now where did this come from? And I didn't know,
but now I do. I started seeing the new phrase
I really don't care Margaret, you know, and I thought,
is now Margaret becoming the new Karen? Is this? Is

(01:00:23):
this a new Brandon? You know?

Speaker 5 (01:00:25):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
What? What is all this? And and I'm understanding that,
you know, with this new administration that's going in, I
love their no nonsense approach. I love there we're going
back to the real world approach ties and nicely what
we're doing here. And so JD. Vance is credited with
this one as he was on the face the Nation

(01:00:48):
and uh, and you know, the same old stuff starts usually.
So this is CBS's Margaret Brendan. Uh, and you're gonna
hear her, you know, do what we've been talking about
for years. This is not a new concept that journalism
is dead. And now when you go on to the
mainstream media, I know we've got a new phrase we're
using now legacy media. You go on and you don't

(01:01:10):
get interviewed, go on and debate the person who's supposed
to be a journalist. And this is weird. Well, they're
supposed to just ask you questions and then let the
people decide whether they don't like your answers or not,
as opposed to them deciding they don't like it and
they want to debate you. So jd Vance just finally
has enough and now this is becoming the new phrase.

(01:01:31):
If someone's trying to take you down this woke road
or this emotional road, and you're just kind of hey,
this guys, I just really don't care because the bottom
line is we're going to do this. I don't really
care what you think about it. So here is jd
Vance where this new phrase originated here we go.

Speaker 14 (01:01:47):
Well, Margaret, I don't agree that all these immigrants or
all these refugees have been properly vetted. In fact, we
know that there are cases of people who allegedly were
properly vetted, and then we're literally planning terrorist attacks in
our country and during the campaign, if you may remember.

Speaker 15 (01:02:02):
So clearly not all of these foreignaws, but.

Speaker 14 (01:02:04):
There are thirty thousand people in the pipeline Afghan refuge
But my primary condemn as the Vice president, Margaret, is
to look after the American people, And now that we
know that we have vetting problems with a lot of
these refugee programs, we absolutely cannot unleash thousands of unvetted
people into our countries.

Speaker 15 (01:02:21):
People are good, these people just like the.

Speaker 14 (01:02:24):
Guy who planned a terrorist attack in Oklahoma a few
months ago. He was allegedly properly vetted, and many people
in the media and the Democratic.

Speaker 15 (01:02:30):
Party said that he was properly vetted. Clearly he wasn't.
I don't want my children.

Speaker 14 (01:02:35):
To share a neighborhood with people who are not properly vetted.
And because I don't want it for my kids, I'm
not going to force any other American citizens kids to
do that either.

Speaker 15 (01:02:43):
No, and that was a very particular case.

Speaker 9 (01:02:45):
It wasn't clear if he was radicalized when he got
here or while he was living.

Speaker 14 (01:02:49):
I don't really care, Margaret. I don't want that person
in my country. And I think most Americans agree with me.

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
Oh, Andre's vote JD. But let me tell you what
was great. Let me tell you what was great about that.
What JD Vance, who's now the vice president, was saying
is what people say in the real world. It isn't

(01:03:14):
unreasonable or evil are wicked to say. I don't want
to live in a neighborhood with my family with people
that just walked into our country unvetted, and I don't
know why they're here. I don't know where they came from.
I don't know anything about them. We have legal immigration,
certainly we can all look at that and try to

(01:03:35):
make that a smoother process. I'm all for that. But
you being concerned about your safety when people come here
that may or may not mean you harm, it's reasonable
to like to want that question answered. I don't know
whether they how do you know they're dangerous? I just
like to know maybe they're not. But there's nothing wrong

(01:03:55):
with me wanting to know. So it continues. Boy, we
got a new border, are don't we? How about old
Tom Oh Tom Tom Tom Selena gomess, what a bizarre video?
Ms go miss put out or she's she's crying about
people being deported and sent back that are illegal. It's

(01:04:19):
it's a weird breakdown.

Speaker 4 (01:04:21):
Yeah, she's crying on camera, which we've all heard of.
Cat fishing.

Speaker 9 (01:04:25):
That's when somebody pretends to be like a very attractive
person and they, you know, they want to get attention
by pretending to be attractive or whatever.

Speaker 4 (01:04:32):
That's cat fishing.

Speaker 9 (01:04:33):
There's a new term I'm hearing for people that set
up their camera and make sure the lights all right
and then cry on camera.

Speaker 4 (01:04:38):
It's called sad fishing.

Speaker 1 (01:04:40):
So that's what really.

Speaker 4 (01:04:41):
So I just heard that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:42):
Have you ever seen the movie from I think it
was from the eighties broadcast news? You ever seen that movie?
I don't think so. I have, but it's been so
long I would encourage you to see it. It was
way ahead of its time on this kind of stuff.
So anyway, here here is the borders are trying, once
again just to make sure that the Selena Gomez is

(01:05:05):
of the world understand the seriousness of this situation to
here we go.

Speaker 19 (01:05:09):
I don't know if you've had a chance to see
a video that has been going.

Speaker 6 (01:05:13):
Viral over the past hour.

Speaker 19 (01:05:14):
So we're still working to clear it and show it.
In fact, the Hollywood celebrity who posted it has now
deleted it, I think because probably she faced a lot
of backlash for it, noting even the New York Times
and Fox Youth poll so that a majority of American
respondents are in favor of deportations of criminals and gang members.

Speaker 6 (01:05:31):
She posted a video sobbing, she was crying in it.

Speaker 19 (01:05:34):
She said, all my people are getting attacked with the
picture of a Mexican flag.

Speaker 6 (01:05:39):
Again.

Speaker 19 (01:05:40):
She has now taken that down. But what do you
say to those who are out there saying that these
are everyday people, these are families that are being attacked
and dragged out of their homes.

Speaker 6 (01:05:50):
How do you respond to that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
I don't think we arrested any families.

Speaker 20 (01:05:54):
We've arrested public safety threat in natural security fests. Bottom line,
and look, President Trump won the election on this one issue,
securing our border and saving lives. This what happened on
our southern board lasts for is the biggest national security
threat this country scene at least in my lifetime, because
we got over two million known guid away. You've got
six hundred percent increase in sex trafficking. We got a

(01:06:15):
record number of terrorists crossing the board on terrorist watch list.
We have quarterminy Americans diving pentannaw coming across the open border.
We're going to do this job and we're going to
force the laws of this country. If they don't like it,
then go to Congress and change the law. We're going
to do this operation law apology. We're going to make
our community safer. We're going to save well. Once we
lock that board on continuous operation, you're going to see
petanyl dest decrease, illegal alien crime decrease, sex trafficking decrease.

(01:06:38):
It's just all for the good of this nation. And
we're going to keep going, no apologies. We're moving forward.

Speaker 1 (01:06:43):
Amen a list of real problems with having an open border.
Those are real problems. And at one time, let's go
with what he was saying, Greg, Greg right now on
you finish words, Greg, Greg, we're that way. Tell he is.

Speaker 9 (01:07:00):
He's not a big fan of the space bar. There's
no space bar when he talks.

Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
Boy that's well said. That's well said. I got the word,
and I don't put the end part on it. Yes,
he ts off what he was saying. Greg, Yeah, yeah,
we got the right guy in charge. Is Is he
a clear speaker?

Speaker 7 (01:07:17):
He's not?

Speaker 1 (01:07:18):
But but what but what he's saying? These opened his mouth.
I can understand enough to go Amen. Oh yeah, I
got him. I heard at least border and vet. Okay,
thank you Greg to b At one time, I got
those back in both of those. Back in twenty fourteen,
Obama actually agreed with borders. Are Tom hok is a
Holman or Haman?

Speaker 4 (01:07:36):
I think it's harmon Tom.

Speaker 1 (01:07:38):
I'll call him Tom.

Speaker 4 (01:07:39):
You can just say the first part.

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
Let me tell you on his name. He better finish it.
All right. So, so here's Obama saying, really what Bazaar
just said? All right, here we go.

Speaker 21 (01:07:51):
If you're a criminal, you'll be deported. If you plan
to enter the US illegally, your chances of getting caught
and sent back just went up. The actions I'm taking
are not only lawful. There are the kinds of actions
taken by every single Republican president and every single Democratic
president for the past half century.

Speaker 1 (01:08:12):
It's crazy.

Speaker 9 (01:08:13):
If you look at the numbers. Barack Obama deported three
point two million people, We're good during his.

Speaker 1 (01:08:20):
Two terms, and I would agree with him on that right.

Speaker 9 (01:08:22):
And Donald Trump actually only deported a million during his
one term. So when the talk to me about it,
they only cry about it when Trump does it. They
don't cry about it when other presidents.

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
Doing there's a shocker. If your phone calls are next,
Come on, America are numbers eight eight eight six, Big Vox,
let's talk to you next.

Speaker 7 (01:08:41):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
I know. We've got our friend a listener out of
Pennsylvania and they've they've made a gavel for the still
developing new Rick Burgess Show segments the Big Vox Verdict
and he's he's sent us a gabbl for Adler the judge,

(01:09:11):
and God love him. He's he claims it's here, somewhere
in this building. We can't find it. He keeps showing
us all the stuff from the is it ups and
tracking and all that, and the problem is it looks
like it's us P s. Oh sorry, yeah, postal service.

(01:09:32):
The I was by the way, I've been released from probation.
I'm getting mad again.

Speaker 5 (01:09:38):
But the they showed you thought, you know, let you so.

Speaker 1 (01:09:42):
Well, look I'm scared of them. I mean, let's face it,
they know where you live. Okay. Yeah, But when things
come to this, like now, if somebody is shipping me something,
I just give him my home address, you know, because
if it comes here, there's so many variables. Yeah. I
find boxes just out there, leaned up against the wall

(01:10:02):
outside the door to the suite here. Yeah. Yeah, And
when you give somebody what sweet we're in, it's really meaningless.

Speaker 5 (01:10:10):
I checked the standard places, of course, our little mail room,
nothing there. Tom's office nothing there, he normally receives anything.
John Olsen, who works here, nothing there. So unless another Sweet,
I don't want to go to Sweet two hundred, I'll
get lost.

Speaker 1 (01:10:26):
No, can't be there.

Speaker 5 (01:10:28):
Please keep somebody signed for it. And I did see somebody.
Well it looks like it was somebody signed for it.
What says it was received at one something in the
afternoon by the front desk, Yeah, right here, delivered from
front desk, reception road. We don't have what about the
mailroom to check the mail room across didn't check the

(01:10:50):
mail room well, no, across from the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
No, I didn't always do you think it's in there.
Maybe I don't know. It says it says delivered front
desk slash reception slash there is no reception. No, there's
mail room. But I don't have a person there. Well, no, Greg,
it doesn't. I don't know who would have signed it. See,
back in the days, back in the days, we would
have known it was the bathroom profit, did you hear me?

(01:11:15):
And back in those days it would just be the
bathroom profit and we would know he would be the
a second, oh yeah, and then tell someone about the revelation. Yes,
yes he would. Greg. He really liked when he talked
about the scarlet clothed Harlot and you just see people
standing out there and the person's like, I'm just from
uber eats the bathroom. Yeah. Yeah. So he was a

(01:11:40):
nice guy, very nice guy. He was always happy. He
was a lot. But he's a very nice guy. I
mean you had to, I had to. I had to.
Let me tell you what. He wasn't great great on boundaries, Yeah,
and so we had to set some boundaries. Having a
beat box very good. Well he should be yeah, well
the ultimate right, So if you've been where he is

(01:12:00):
that I don't know but I bet wherever he is,
they know you know what? So uh, yeah, absolutely, no,
all right.

Speaker 9 (01:12:11):
So I've never had a guy, you know, not be
able to tell how uncomfortable I am while he talks
to me in the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
No meter, no meeting.

Speaker 9 (01:12:20):
I don't know how to say it without saying it,
how uncomfortable I am with the way that you're speaking
to me in his bathroom, with other people in the
bathroom too.

Speaker 1 (01:12:28):
You know. Did you know that I had to finally
You remember the moment when I finally had well, my goodness,
I finally had to say it, and were talking through
the door at Yeah, I had. I had sat down
on the porcelain throng and and the door is locked,
and I agreed, boy, and then uh, and then he
just kept on and for that day, for some reason,

(01:12:48):
I don't know. Maybe it's because we were doing Hebrews
in here on Wednesdays, he wanted he wanted to go
through the He got over the in the usually if
you if he takes to the New Testament, you're going
right to the Revelation. And and I think he went
to the Book of Hebrews and and and I was
sitting on the I thought the fact that the door
was shut and I was sitting on the porcelain thrown.

(01:13:09):
No way would he engage me. He'll stop in Bible study. Uh.
And and of course his commentary. But I was wrong,
and I had to I had to draw. I had
to create some boundaries. I understand why you'd have thought
it wasn't possible. Yeah. I just said, hey man, look
at here in the mail room. Hey, we found it.

Speaker 5 (01:13:29):

I thought you had made a horrible mistake. Oh wow,

(01:15:35):
a lot of I'm sorry that's not in here. Oh yes,
I'm a Greg Minion. He actually likes you. Okay, see,
but I find different attributes of each of you, including
Bubba and Helm's that I follow as well well. Of course,
my original design of the gabble was to have thirty
one grooves in the handle to signify each of the
years of ricking Bubba. But the handle set crooked and

(01:15:58):
I had to I can't read that word, do what
you do? It would to start over. I guess I
had to is it? Reset? Redo it? I had to
redo it, redo it? Yeah, God bless you guys. Thanks Jeremy,
Thank you Jeremy. You want to hit it? Yeah, I'm
ready to hit it. Also, there's a ps. I also

(01:16:19):
find it sad that Speedy just couldn't have got eggs
for everybody and it was up cooking. Yeah.

In fact, what I think about that is I want
to see you hit it ready and order order.

Speaker 15 (01:16:36):
Can you'll hear that?

Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
Oh? Yes, okay?

Speaker 4 (01:16:40):

Speaker 1 (01:16:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:16:44):
So, so I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:16:45):
Want everybody to know I am the judge and the
big vox verdict. But I don't make the decisions.

Speaker 3 (01:16:49):
Y'all.

Speaker 9 (01:16:50):
Hurry, did your I just just clear things afterwards? Yeah, yeah,
I could make maybe come up with stuff and people
that are coming into the big vox seats. Greg, you
have to ask to approach and all that. Think about
something that you guys want worked out in your marriage.
We're here to help people.

Speaker 1 (01:17:06):
That's not if anything in your friendship, your family, dynamic
radio act like you care something at work the romance life. Yeah,
I don't like the vibrated I don't either. I don't
like because he's hitting that on that table. Can you
put it on something more solid.

Speaker 4 (01:17:25):
A better sound.

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
That's Greg's head that was didn't like that again?

Speaker 5 (01:17:31):
Order no, little wait, little wait, put it over there
in the corner a little bit where there's a brace
on it.

There you go. There we got order now, we.

Speaker 17 (01:17:47):

But if anybody's got anything they need to work out,
you know, romance and anything, we'll work it out for you.

Speaker 3 (01:17:58):
Order.

Speaker 1 (01:18:00):
Okay, he really wants to rule on something, there's this missed.
We'll be right back.

Speaker 7 (01:18:10):
This is the Rick Burgess show.

Speaker 2 (01:18:19):
Close.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
We've got a story today that this has By the way,
Greg couldn't stand it, went into Adler's booth immediately and
started banging the gabble. I'm just making noise. I gotta
get in there and I gotta make noise. Yeah, you'll
get what he said. I could hit Rick with his
thanks bot on the top of the head. By the way,
a lot of people are saying that our next case
are to be should somebody have their Christmas decorations up

(01:18:42):
in February? Yep, well I'm living it. Are they still Look?
What did you think I took? Come down yesterday? Absolutely
they're still okay, you know, straight to jail Christmas jail.
No bell, Greg. Here's something that I just this has
got you written all over it. Video for Adler Detroit rapper.

(01:19:02):
I'm not familiar with this rapper. Also, let me say
rapper and influencer. Oh female, Greg, of course you might
you might know this artist dank the most dank, the
most am I supposed to say. I don't know that dirty.
I might say I'm bad way weighing in at four
hundred and eighty nine pounds, this this female rapper slash influencer.

(01:19:25):
We've got a shock, they're saying a shocking video. I
don't think it's shocking. A lift driver refuses to let
her in his car, said, I'm sorry, you're too big.
My car is too small. Can't great you say it
so many times? Now, all right, so here is the story.

Speaker 6 (01:19:41):
Okay, but on video character whipp out her phone when
these all happened.

Speaker 22 (01:19:55):
Now, the lift driver, he was kind enough and apologetic,
but refused her or ride and said that she would
not fit and that her weight couldn't be handled by
his tires.

Speaker 6 (01:20:07):
But now she's filing.

Speaker 1 (01:20:09):
He didn't say that.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
Yes, I've been in car smarter than that, you know.

Speaker 23 (01:20:16):
Dan, she was just trying to get you a Detroit
to watch party this month. When her left rolled up.

Speaker 2 (01:20:23):
As I walk in, I see him like making faces
or whatever.

Speaker 6 (01:20:25):
I'm like, Oh man, she already knew I can fit
in his car. Don't believe Yes, I can believe it.
He told her there's not enough room in his car.

Speaker 2 (01:20:35):
The kicker car was when he started to talk about
his tires. You know, I feel like that was a
slap in the face. That was like a my tires,
you know, like.

Speaker 6 (01:20:44):
The driver said his tires could not handle her weight.

Speaker 2 (01:20:48):
But every big cars thing you turned on because they
can't fit in your.

Speaker 10 (01:20:50):
Carcase orders.

Speaker 6 (01:20:57):
To order over XO.

Speaker 23 (01:20:58):
He apologized, canceled a ride, and left her there.

Speaker 6 (01:21:01):
The rapper says, she's pretty tough. She's known that. The
mic is crushed by the whole situation.

Speaker 2 (01:21:10):
I just want them to know, like, it really hurt
my feelings.

Speaker 6 (01:21:15):
It looks like a lift might be hurting pretty soon too.
I knew it was illegal, and I knew that it
was wrong.

Speaker 23 (01:21:20):
John Marco and Zach run is a protected characteristic in
Michigan by law.

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
It would be no different than that driver pulling up
and saying, you know, I don't want to have black
people in my car.

Speaker 6 (01:21:34):
The lawsuit is filed.

Speaker 23 (01:21:38):
Since she posted the encounter on social media, other full
figured folks have reached out saying the same thing happened
to them in his car.

Speaker 1 (01:21:48):
So he was afraid she would eat the tires her
big donuts. It wasn't the pressure, it Yeah, how about
that rapp cover up? Not so? First of all, this
car sounded a little rough, So he basically says, I'm

(01:22:12):
sorry now I had him. Maybe you can't fit.

Speaker 9 (01:22:15):
But now as far as my tires can't handle it, Yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (01:22:19):
Think Greg may be all of that. I don't know
what's going to a donuts big, big lady. Forty thousand
pound wrapper U forty eighty nine.

Speaker 5 (01:22:29):
That's big, and I understand to each his own.

Speaker 1 (01:22:32):
Yeah, you know, I'm glad she has a good self image.
What about that grease ball lawyer?

Speaker 9 (01:22:39):
His hair is greasier than mine, my goodness, and that's
not possible.

Speaker 1 (01:22:43):
No, no ride for you, all right. I want to
know why.

Speaker 9 (01:22:45):
The local Fox to affiliate NFL and Detroit had to
include this shot. They like, did a pan up of
the woman while she's Oh, They're like, get a load
of this.

Speaker 4 (01:22:58):
Well, it's not necessary.

Speaker 1 (01:23:00):
I could have had a head shot and left. Yes,
I disagree. I disagree. I think if you're doing a story, well,
and there is a lift driver that thinks you're so
big you can't his car can't handle it, we got
to see it. We got Yeah, we have to. I'm
sorry she went with a stomach tattoo. Huh got a
lot of yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:23:22):
Canvas, the detailed map of the world.

Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
Well, as a matter of fact, they said that when
she went with the tummy tattoo. They brought in three
artists I worked at the same time, right, but the scaffolding.

Speaker 5 (01:23:34):
Yeah, some people are saying, could this be a setup?
She's an influencer.

Speaker 1 (01:23:40):
That would be a good idea the whole thing, like
the left driver written, but he's in trouble. Did y'all
pick up her wrap?

Speaker 24 (01:23:47):
Video?

Speaker 1 (01:23:48):
Was that a current one protesting? I don't know her
life not being picked up? It was like a what
am I looking for? Trial? Thing? Now? See? Is that
this is that I put this right in line and look,
I understand weight, certainly struggled with my weight. I got

(01:24:10):
it still fight in the Battle of gud. You have
been turned down for a camera and then well I
have not been turned out for some dates you know,
back and before. But no, what I'm saying is this
is that thing where I want to make choices in
my life, which you're certainly allowed to do, and I
don't want there to be any repercussions for them at all.

(01:24:30):
You know, We've said, you know, people want to do
things in their private life and that's okay, but when
you take that out into the society, there may be
some things that happen, you know, like you know, I
put this actually over in the category of you know,
I'm a biological male and I want to go into
the female bathroom and dressing room because i'm you know,

(01:24:51):
I won't because I just want to because I've decided
in my life to identify as a female. Well, if
you decided that in your own life and that's where
you are, that's fine. But when you get out in society,
I think if you weigh for eighty nine, you should
expect that somebody may say, I'm not sure that my
car can handle you. If if you can go for
eighty nine, there's gonna be some four eighty nine problems.

(01:25:12):
What if he would call for backup and a flat
bed pulled up. I got you cover, I said.

Speaker 5 (01:25:18):
When she was in class, everybody sat around her. All right,
picture d Date, the picture DJ Dank being put on
a flat bed, say right, we'll get you. I'm gonna
strap you down.

Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
Good vides. I also think I think sitting down with
the person who's trying to help you with your help
and you say tell me when the wake up call was, well,
I've gotten so big that I was actually turned down
by a lift driver he thought his car couldn't handle
me including his tires.

Speaker 5 (01:25:43):
Okay, that's a good wake up. Might be it might
be mean what he did, but it is a wake up,
but it would make you go, you know, you know what.
In fact, he considered that maybe her.

Speaker 9 (01:25:53):
Music videos in a court room. Maybe we could use
this as a theme song for the Big Fox, more
like heavy lifting.

Speaker 1 (01:26:01):
Okay, m hmm. How about when the left driver just said, no,
not even tried it. Can you can get it back
your car? No, you can't. If you get in, we
may not get you back out.

Speaker 4 (01:26:13):
She wouldn't sound confident when she was like, I can
fit in this car. I don't think she had the
confidence that she needed to.

Speaker 1 (01:26:19):
I think I would have said, I got twenty bucks,
you can't. Let's try. Yeah, if you if you get
in here and can get in and get out one time,
I'll give you a right. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:26:27):
I don't know where the lawsuit's going to land because
can't a lyft driver. I don't know the contract. But
can't they turn down your your service or whatever? Can
they turn you down for any reason?

Speaker 1 (01:26:37):
I mean, if you're not acting right, maybe you can't
get the car. Here's here's the set. A college football
player said, I was actually told by a lyft driver
because he had a low ride car and he said,
I'm a big man that he worried about the weight
on his car. He said, I didn't. I thought he was,
you know, not telling the truth, and he was right.
The car scraped the whole way and it started scraping,

(01:26:57):
and it really, I really did cause an issue. And
tell you, she climbed in there that baby to be close.
You ever sing of dirt track car? And they got
them sent u where they leaned over. So that's what
that car looked like going. The car looked like Fred
Flintstone's car when they put that there can be car

(01:27:22):
top of the hour.

Speaker 7 (01:27:24):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
All right, So this I'm noticing something right now. And
and so do you do you remember back the first
time that you ever heard of HD I'm I've got
a d D. Do you remember that first time you

(01:27:53):
started hearing about that? And then it's like it's almost
like that didn't get enough, you know, hey, you know me,
I'm so a d D. And then people said, I'm
so ADHD. You know now now we've got to drop
that in too. And there are people who do struggle
with that there's no doubt. So don't hear me saying otherwise,
what are you talking about? Now? You know, we're a
little we're a little quick to go to a diagnosis

(01:28:14):
and a little quick to get your own something. And
I've noticed what also has happened is it kind of
became trendy to be.

Speaker 16 (01:28:24):
A d D.

Speaker 1 (01:28:25):
And does even does anybody even stay with just a
d D anymore? They have to always add the H
Now I hear more, Ah, yeah, it's like a and
you know me, I'm so a d D. I'm so
ADHD And I'm like somebody diagnosed that in or is
that just because you you know, some of some of
this is not you know, it's just an excuse to
be a certain way. Uh. But but then some people

(01:28:47):
actually do struggle with it. Starting to pick up. Now
the new trend is that I'm in the spectrum, uh,
the autism spectrum.

Speaker 6 (01:28:57):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:28:57):
This is now becoming the thing that I believe that
I'm actually in the spectrum. And Bill Gates has now
weighed in, uh and said that likely he had autism
as a child. Bill wasn't widely understood then.

Speaker 17 (01:29:13):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:29:14):
He said he believes he would have been diagnosed with
autism if he were growing up today now, I don't
necessarily disagree with him on that when it comes to
you know, because the spectrum is is very wide, and
there's no doubt, and there are insults, and it's real
and we've talked about all that, and why do we
have such a trend of this now? But this going
back in time and you've been you know, very successful,

(01:29:39):
you functioned quite well. I don't know that he's socially awkward.
Maybe he is. Maybe he is, and I've never been
around him. But to go back and throw out I
probably would have been diagnosed in the autism spectrum. Is
this now going to become the new thing now? Where
if you know, you remember, I mean, the whole wide

(01:29:59):
world certainly had had a d D and and and
now we've abandoned it. It's not enough now we have
to all have a d D, the HD and all
our children have to have it as well. Uh and
and and there's no doubt that there's some of that
out there.

Speaker 5 (01:30:12):
So Elon is on the spectrum. Yeah, yeah, Bill or
two of the richest men in the world. What about
old zuck Adler.

Speaker 1 (01:30:21):
Yeah, he's a lizard man. I think Okay, Yeah, he's
in that little.

Speaker 4 (01:30:25):
Group, he's got a touch of the tism.

Speaker 1 (01:30:27):
Well, okay, I want to stop you on that, because
I'm starting to hear that all the time. So let
me get this straight. We've said you cannot say retarded,
but we're gonna let people say tism. Now, yes, does
that seem I don't make the rule? Does that? Does
that sound a little inconsistent?

Speaker 5 (01:30:43):
You're perfectly fine to say somebody may have a little
bit of the tism. I've been hearing that, lady, but
you can't say somebody is retarding. So either either they're
both rude or neither.

Speaker 9 (01:30:53):
Is Wait, I'm reading sign an executive order that it's
okay to say retarded again.

Speaker 1 (01:30:58):
Gods, Hey, hey, hey, I saw this. But what I'm
saying about it is, you know, it's everybody, this ain't good.
It's almost like we're getting now where we're we're bothered
if we don't have some kind of ailment that we
want to We're like in that we're inventing struggle now,
you know, And I'm not saying that in what that does,

(01:31:18):
like everything else, it takes away from the people who
actually have it. Uh, and they really do have the
struggle and certainly, I uh that that's real and it's
it's out of control and all that. But this thing
now where you know, I've I've pretty much accomplished. I
don't think there's anything that's held me back. And also
just out of nowhere, you know, like you know, it's

(01:31:39):
people to Anxiety is a big thing. Everybody's my anxiety
A D D A D h D.

Speaker 16 (01:31:45):
I O c D.

Speaker 1 (01:31:46):
I think I O c D I'm on the autism spectrum.
It's like it's are we just obsessed with this now?

Speaker 2 (01:31:51):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:31:52):
And there's no doubt it's real and there's no doubt
people really do have these problems. That's not what I'm addressing.
I know that quite well. But there is there's it's
like everybody it's it's like almost like it's trendy.

Speaker 3 (01:32:06):
You you you.

Speaker 1 (01:32:08):
I don't feel like that. I think that's a good
conversation piece.

Speaker 3 (01:32:11):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:32:11):
I'm so O c D. I'm so A d D.
I'm so A D A D h D. You know,
I think I'm on the spectrum, you know, And it's
like I don't think that that everybody. Sometimes you're just
a little I'm quirky, I mean, I've had people diagnose
me with everything under the sun, and I remember that
some things in school were more difficult for me than

(01:32:33):
maybe they were for others.

Speaker 2 (01:32:35):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:32:36):
But didn't needy medication, didn't need whatever. I found a
way to. It goes back to this thing again. We
don't want to We don't ever want to be told
we didn't make the mark? You know, So why did
you forget that? Well? You know, I'm so a d
d Uh? Why yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:32:56):
What what?

Speaker 1 (01:32:57):
Why are you? Why do you not want to do that?
We don't? Anxiety is to me? Uh, you know? And
and there are people who have real struggles with anxiety.

Speaker 11 (01:33:04):
No, I know that.

Speaker 1 (01:33:04):
I've seen it firsthand. I know I know it to
be true. Uh and and you know this, and now
you know it. I think we're okay. I think we
I've kind of come to the conclusion that the whole
wide world thinks to have a D D or adhd Uh?
Are there are there anxious? I don't know that I'm
gonna be able to stand by and we're all going

(01:33:26):
to be autistic now. I don't know whether I can
where we walk into that. There's no doubt there's a
lot of it out there, and I mean it is
it is an epidemic, which is you know, concerning for
a whole generation of people, and we we don't have
the answers.

Speaker 5 (01:33:41):
We have some theories, but we don't have any answers.
I know that's real, But now it feels a little.

Speaker 1 (01:33:47):
Inconsistent to me that we're now being very sensitive. Maybe
there's nothing wrong with that about people's challenges, but now
we're tossing around the tism like like that's no big deal.
Uh we we seem grossly inconsistent with that. It's it's
either you know and and this thing of I want

(01:34:08):
to I want to you know, Elon Musk if he's
in the spectrum. I think I see signs that he
probably is. But he's done great Bill Gates going back
in time. It's almost like he thinks Elon's getting some
attention that he wants to get to. Yes, well, if
everybody talks about Elon being in the spectrum and how
he's been an overcomer, I want you all to know

(01:34:28):
I probably him in the spectrum to just nobody diagnosed it.
It's almost like, what what is he? Why is he
doing this? I don't I don't understand.

Speaker 5 (01:34:35):
Yeah, but I think a lot of times. I think
we've had a period of time where if if you
were having trouble with the child or or whatever, you
were so quick to take him to the doctor and
say something's wrong with him instead of just coping. I'm
not talking about the serious.

Speaker 1 (01:34:50):
Nobody's going to hear you, but I do that that
are obvious and and and those do need treatment.

Speaker 5 (01:34:58):
But I think we were so quick to label somebody
as having something, and medicine here, medicine there, you know,
medicine everywhere.

Speaker 1 (01:35:07):
I think that's kind of what we've had. Yeah, I guess,
and this is not speaking. That's one things that doing
this for a living that this really drives me crazy
is if if we clearly explain what we're talking about,
and then somebody says, well, that don't that's I don't
do that, then then you can't forget whether we're not talking.
We're not talking to my kid really does have this,
Then we're not talking to you. I really do have this.

(01:35:29):
We're not talking to you. But what we're saying is
there was a time when parents and people would would
really work hard not to be labeled. Now it's like
we're disappointed if we don't get labeled. Now we desire
to be labeled. And there was a time where you
didn't want to be labeled because you're like, you know what,

(01:35:49):
let's let's see if we can cope. Let's see if
we can overcome these challenges. And I don't want to
be labeled or my kid to be labeled. I want
them to push through and hope and persevere. And only
in the most severe cases would would the label come in,
because you know it should be. Now it's almost like
we're obsessed with being labeled. And at one time it

(01:36:11):
used there used to be a desire not to be labeled,
and that seems to our whole society seems to have
changed on that. Yeah, so so anyway, and that I
don't know whether Bill Gates would have been diagnosed or not,
but it's that point is still valid even if he's
not an example of it. Yeah, you know, it just
brought up the topic. Yeah, we'll be back eight eight

(01:36:33):
eighths the number six Big Vox. We'll take some of
your phone calls to wrap up the hour and any
headlines that we may have missed when the Rick Burgess
Show continues right after this.

Speaker 7 (01:36:45):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (01:36:53):
Some things that we did not get into. We we
saw this Indiana man pardoned for participation in the January
sixth riot, shot and killed while allegedly resisting arrest. So
he was one of those that was pardoned by Trump.

(01:37:15):
Apparently he was pulled over by Jasper County in Indiana.
Was in Indiana. I know he's from Indiana, and apparently
what we've warned against over and over and over again,
the Indiana State Police, he would not cooperate and he
began to resist and apparently had never heard the song

(01:37:38):
I fought the law, and the law won, and unfortunately
the officers had to shoot him. And so there you go. Also,
Trump says he wants an iron dome just like they
have in Israel. He wants iron dome construction here as well.
That we need to be able to have this kind

(01:37:58):
of defense against missiles. So that's that's big. Google Maps
finally caves to Trump. And if you go to Google Maps,
it now says the Gulf of America, not the Gulf
of Mexico. So there you go. So those those are
some stories that are brewing today. Let's go to the phones.

(01:38:19):
Let's go to Ronda out of Montgomery, listening on I
ninety two.

Speaker 24 (01:38:24):
W l W I Ronda, go ahead, Yeah, I was
just talking about what is it? Adhd?

Speaker 1 (01:38:32):
Yes?

Speaker 24 (01:38:33):
You know when Okay, I know personally, I know children
that have been to school, kindergarten and the teachers are
talking about you know, they're not paying attention there, they
won't sit still. They're kindergarten children and the next thing
you know, they're being tasted, they're being tested, and they're
on medication. That's that's bull crap.

Speaker 1 (01:38:52):
Yeah, there's been a lot of teachers that are even
texting right now saying this is why they left as
soon as they could retire, you know. And the bigger
point is, and again we're not talking about people who
truly have an issue. It is a real issue, it
is true, and those that have it, that's not what
we're talking about. But there was a time, even when
you had a struggle or something, it was the era

(01:39:15):
we grew up in, grew up in, and the parenting
that you received was a parenting that had a theme.
I see here on the text, you're right exactly what
I want to say. It said, don't make excuses. Well,
I can't jump as high as the other kids. Don't
make excuses. Go out there and play as hard as
you can play. You can still accomplish something. Don't make excuses.

(01:39:38):
You learn to push through whatever challenges that you have,
you love to you overcome. Don't make any problem because
everybody's got some kind of problem. Don't let your problem
be an excuse for you not being successful. Now we're
the opposite. We're looking for an excuse all the time,
and we want to give somebody an excuse not to
every time something goes wrong, go well, you know I

(01:40:01):
would fill in the blank an excuse. Yeah, And it's
just a different mindset.

Speaker 5 (01:40:06):
It's you knew it was like you remember when it
used to be it was not desirable to be a victim,
and then suddenly everybody couldn't wait to be a victim
because of the attention.

Speaker 1 (01:40:15):
This is strange. Uh. We continue, Let's go to Uh,
let's go to Amber out of Jasper Amber.

Speaker 3 (01:40:22):
Go ahead, Hey, how are y'all?

Speaker 1 (01:40:25):
We're good, Amber, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 24 (01:40:28):
Glad to be here. So I wanted to ask your,
well everyone's opinion on TikTok.

Speaker 16 (01:40:35):
Are you happy that it's back?

Speaker 15 (01:40:37):
Are you sad?

Speaker 24 (01:40:37):
Are you in the field that you don't care.

Speaker 16 (01:40:39):
How do y'all feel about it?

Speaker 1 (01:40:41):
You know, TikTok's never been in my life. Adler was
telling me, you know, as a sixty year old man
that has a you know, entertainment and an information platform,
that we need to be in that world. I guess
just common sense. I think the platform can be used
for good things, like all platforms can, but also really

(01:41:03):
stupid things. I really would rather China not be involved.
So if it's sold to someone else and the platform
itself is something that we can reach more people with,
I'd be in. But I'm I think I'd like to
wait and let what's happening with Trump right now get solidified,
then be on the platform. But you know, I don't

(01:41:23):
use it. I haven't used it, Adler, you're probably better
to speak to this.

Speaker 3 (01:41:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:41:26):
I saw that talk of it going away, so I
kind of shelved developing some content of the show on there.
But now with this going back and forth like this,
I need I needed, I need to do it, and
the story we have to do trying.

Speaker 1 (01:41:39):
Trump announced that Microsoft is close to.

Speaker 5 (01:41:41):
Yeah, I saw that they won't comment on it, but
he did say that, yeah, I would don't you think
they'll Adams, let the water calm and once it solidifies
and we know what we're dealing with, then and it
will I think pretty quick.

Speaker 1 (01:41:53):
Yeah. Then then then start developing stuff for it.

Speaker 4 (01:41:56):
I'll post something on it today. I'll pose like Greg
on it today or something.

Speaker 1 (01:41:59):
Oh good, Yeah, yeah, not doing that, No, Greg, Huntsville
one point three the River, Huntsville, go ahead. Hello, Hey David,
go ahead.

Speaker 3 (01:42:11):
Oh that's so young. Hey, good morning man. I love
you guys, love the show.

Speaker 1 (01:42:14):
Real quick, thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:42:15):
I want I want to talk about I'm a I'm
a section parent. My son as a autis diagnosis. Wonderful kid. Uh,
no medication, he just rides to the occasion. Most resilient
kids you'll ever meet. He's awesome. But anyway, I wanted
to talk to you guys about getting a professional diagnosis
and getting an early diagnosis and insurance, you know, trying

(01:42:38):
to afford care for your child. The thing you have
to be careful with when you say, you know they're
just giving everybody these diagnosas telling people this, you need
to get a professional diagnosis. The earlier you get that diagnosis,
the best you can help your child. And I'll tell
you why. I'll tell you why. The biggest thing is
the cost associated with it.

Speaker 1 (01:42:57):
Man.

Speaker 3 (01:42:58):
You're you're talking therapy sessions maybe a week at eighty
bucks a pop, kid in daycare, you spending three four
thousand dollars a month. And you know, once you get
those diagnoses, you got a little bit of help from
your insurance custry. So I encourage people to, you know,
get a professional opinion, get it early. But you know,
none of this self diagnosing, none of this is going

(01:43:20):
in there beg and to put your kid on medicine,
but get an honest person that knows what they're doing
and get them involved.

Speaker 1 (01:43:26):
Yeah, you're right, David, because just like with your child,
there are some therapies you know, don't do the other
end of the spectrum too, going well, this is just
the way, this is just the way it is now.
There's some therapies that have shown great improvement. And matter
of fact, one of my kids works in this industry.
He is a behavioral specialist brooks is you know that
works with children and helps them to be you know,

(01:43:49):
able to function better socially and help these parents that
are so tired. But like you say, you need the
right diagnosis, and there's a don't limit, don't let these
things be limits. There's a lot of this with the
right therapy.

Speaker 20 (01:44:05):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:44:05):
You know, kids in the autism spectrum can overcome quite
a bit. Uh, and many of them are incredibly high functioning.
But the therapy is really help. But you'll need, you know,
the right diagnosis, somebody that knows this field very well.
And then, like the College just said, then you can
kind of get some of the help you need to.
But and the sooner the better, Uh, we continue, Let's

(01:44:28):
go to Baker out of Kentucky. Baker, go ahead, Hey,
morning fellas.

Speaker 17 (01:44:34):
Hey buddy, listen to Adler earlier, and I'm just concerned
if he put down that bow and arrow and pick
up a real gun, he'd have plenty of meat sticks.

Speaker 1 (01:44:44):
That's a great point. Sure, gosh, that's a gal Oh
my goodness. Let's go to Christian and Morris Kristin go ahead.

Speaker 16 (01:44:55):
Hey, First, I want to say that my husband attended
the Man's Church this past weekend and read dedicated his
life raise Scott and he is, Yeah, he has not
stopped talking about it, how amazing it was, and he's
looking forward to next year. So thank y'all for that.
Thank I just want to say how much I love
this show. It is so much better. It's funnier. I've
listened to every single show since it started. We just

(01:45:17):
laugh and laugh and laugh, and it's it's one hundred
times better.

Speaker 3 (01:45:22):
So thank y'all.

Speaker 1 (01:45:22):
Well, but thank you for the call. I appreciate that.
And you know it's you know, here's the deal. I
like both experiences. I love what we did, uh, and
I love what we're doing. So kind of you to
say that, and glad to hear that about your husband.
And we are looking forward to next year. And then
