Speaker 1 (00:11):
Big Box Enter team. But please, that's the Rick Burgess
Show with Speedy, Greg Burgess, Edie Van Adler, and Rick Bouch.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
So here we go, a brand new hour, on a
brand new day, on a brand new week and we're
glad you are here. The Rick Burgess Show underway. We
will recap the weekend within the show, find out what happened.
I mean, we got a couple of things from the weekend,
Speedy's road trip, Burgess Brothers attempt munt Adler's little boy

(00:48):
Ezra two year birthday extravaganza over the weekend, so we'll
hear from Daddy on how all that went today on
the program. Greg is actually out, he was here almost
But if you were following me on social media over
the weekend, Greg and I were talking to you from

(01:10):
camp house and then I came back and told you
had to leave early because Lisa was having some health issues. Unfortunately,
those seem to be continuing and he's gonna try to
get her to a doctor today. And what we should
be praying for is proper diagnosis followed by solutions, you know,
so be praying about that and hopefully she can get

(01:33):
some relief. So Greg will not be with us today
as we move forward. But as you heard, Speedy and
Adler are here and we have much to unpack from
the weekend as well, you know, as far as outside
the three of us, you look at what's going on
in the world. Another plane crash has happened since the

(01:56):
last time we were together, sadly and involving Philidel uh
and uh so I checked on my daughter and and
she was fine and uh but a scary moment for
a lot of people in Philadelphia. And we'll we'll continue
to update you on that ongoing investigation. We're still investigating
the crash involving the military helicopters, so we'll try to

(02:18):
get you some updates on that.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
If you don't believe that the world has uh has
kind of lost its way, anybody get a gander at
the Grammys. That's that's always an indicator of how the
fake world is doing. Uh and uh so we'll take
a look at the uh the Grammys. We're still trying
to track down exactly what Kanye and what is the
Are they still married? What is this one? It said Wanaka,

(02:43):
I don't think they're still I think they're still I
thought there that she was leaving him something.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
Yeah, I think they're back together. He's making her clothes
still out of plastic bags or something.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
I don't know. Yeah, it's uh, it looks like his
wife came dressed in a large sandwich bag. And Speedy's
indicating we're still investigating that they weren't invited, right, uh,
and we're asked to leave. They were by police, by police.
So and I sort of put her code on first.
Well I bet uh so, So anyway, we'll we'll take

(03:17):
a gander. You know, this Beyonce Beyonce Country album has
been confusing since its inception and release, and just continue
to confuse. I don't even understand did it did it
do well? At one time there was the fight of
it's it's doing well, but it shouldn't.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Then there's people saying people are acting like it's no
good because it's Beyonce. It really is good country music.
People are not embracing yet because they're racist. We had
that in there.

Speaker 5 (03:50):
People are acting like it's good because it's Beyonce.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Right, Yes, that was the other scenario. So yeah, so
it just feels I don't I don't look. I know,
y'all may be shocked about this. I don't know that
any of us paid much attention to it. I couldn't.
I couldn't get interested in that, no matter how hard
I tried. But the so we'll, but we will. I know.
It's a story that has been ongoing, and I am

(04:15):
enjoying being perplexed by it. Yeah, yeah, I do enjoy that.
Totally bizarre. Excuse me, bizarre.

Speaker 6 (04:22):
I don't know what I was interested in the least
is that the Pro Bowl flag football game or the Grammys,
and didn't watch either.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Do you know? Have you ever have you ever had
something that was brought up and seriously in the moment
for no reason. I was well rested, But have you
ever just had something be brought up and you just
look over and you go, I just don't have the introduce.
I don't. We're sitting having having lunch after church on
Sunday and Sherry's looking over my shoulder, and apparently there

(04:52):
was a TV behind me, and all I heard was this,
why why are those men playing flag football? I guess
they were show and highlights or something. And I almost
started to unpack it. Guys, I kid you not. I
just looked down my food and I said, I don't know, babe,
and we just went on, you just didn't have the energy.
I was like, I don't have the energy. Are those

(05:13):
are those the NFL teams? Yeah? And you know they
play in flag football. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (05:18):
Maybe, And because you would have had to spend a
lot of energy to break that one down.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Oh yeah. And you know what I ended up saying, Hey,
I want you to know I struggled on whether I
should order the noodles or not. I think I made
the right decision that these noodles are fantastic and don't
worry about that.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Let's move.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Of course. Then she followed with something that I didn't
have it interesting either, unpacking. Do you know if there
are those rice noodles? I don't know, bab. They're just
good noodles.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
They're just good.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
I struggled whether I was going to do the rice
base or noodle base. I'm glad I went noodle. Those
notices were good too. Yeah, I'm pro noodles. I like noodles.
I know noodles aren't the best choice always, you know,
far from a health standpoint, but the.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
Fried rice and the noodles, I mean, do you have
a winter as far as.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Health goes well, and then you get into the fried
rice versus the steamed, and yeah, and we all want
the fried, but we think we should have the steamed.
If we're trying to do a little bit better, let's
go with the fry and let's just call it the
steam rice is not as good.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
It's not. It's not.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
It's not as good.

Speaker 6 (06:17):
And matter of fact, when we were down seeing JC
play this past weekend in a in a shocker, uh,
he said, Hey, I want some sushi and I'm like, what.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
For.

Speaker 6 (06:28):
So for one of the meals we went out to
eat and Terry announced to me when we were there,
she said, you're not going to really do good here,
So I think you just go in. I go, this
is just a meal, you're cheating, and just dive in.
And so I went noodles and fried rice, just mix
it all together and it was a party.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
I did the today. I'm not caring about doing better.
And then I'll convince myself when you convinced me to
walk a little bit in window shop in the little
downtown area, that that'll that'll be the I walk off
any bad. That was good. Now, the fact I only
walked a few blocks that probably didn't do it, but
it helps, right, Sure, sure, probably need to walk a

(07:05):
lot further. But this is about all I can give
you in Sunday shoes as far as we go, right
because I decided to go Sunday shoes today and uh,
and I'm regretting that right now, are you?

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (07:18):
You feel it in? Yeah? Yeah, whether my feet Sunday
shoes and and my main foot just they don't work,
yeah yeah, and the and that foot will laugh at me.
So you thought I wouldn't go hurt when you first
put it on. You thought you were good. But now
that you've got here and you're continuing to wear me,
you know what I mean? And then the foot's like,
I'm gonna act up real bad in worship. You really,

(07:39):
I'm gonna be talking to you. Hey, you might get
through Sunday school, big fella, but I'm gonna give you
trouble in worship. So so anyway.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
So important?

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Oh yeah, be still over? Why do you keep moving
your foot around? I'm trying to move into position where
it doesn't.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
Hurt, trying to feel it, trying to feel it again.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Did you just slide your shoe off? It's under the seat.
Nobody sees it.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
So put your shoes back on.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
You're making the person next you feel weird.

Speaker 5 (08:05):
No, we're on holy ground, sweetheart. I don't take my
shoes off.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Matter of fact, none of it. None of us should
have shoes on here.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
How about that?

Speaker 7 (08:10):
Have?

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah? Yeah, this is I want you. I once knew
a guy. Unfortunately he went on the inen, but he would
every time he would teach the Bible, he would take
his shoes off. All right now, No, no.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
I've seen it, true story. Every time I lead worship,
I take my shoes off. I've seen that too.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
You don't do that, do you?

Speaker 4 (08:27):
No?

Speaker 5 (08:28):
No, no, no, no, no, okay, but as a drummer.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
Nobody knows the boy.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
You can definitely hide your shoes back.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
I may start doing it.

Speaker 2 (08:38):

All right, so let's let's unpack the Grammys. Uh, I

(11:27):
mean I didn't I didn't watch it, but we we
have we have everything we need. The Speedies gathered it,
others gathered it. I want to go ahead. First of all,
can we move off of Kanye and Bianca that they
weren't asked to be there, they showed up and then
police removed them. Is that official? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (11:50):
Well, I'm seeing multiple headlines and stories. Daily Mail is
one we look at and it says they were escorted
by police and asked to leave.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, yeah, that.

Speaker 6 (12:02):
She appeared in what looked like a what a trench
coat of some kind and.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
Then and like a big fur coat.

Speaker 6 (12:09):
Yeah, and then they get to the red carpet and
he instructs her to, I guess, drop the coat and
she did.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Boy, are we are we entertaining? And I know this
thoughtsman out there? Is she is she? Like? Is she trapped?
Is she some sort of slave?

Speaker 4 (12:29):
It's a weird situation.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
What is going on?

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Because she'll be in this weird like blank stare not
talk to anybody, robot thing where you think she's in
some abusive relationship, and then she'll every once in a
while do an interview where she's like I'm an architect
and we're married and all this stuff, and I'm just
like okay. And evidently she's she's people claim she's smarter

(12:51):
than she seems, because right now she seems to be
not being used for her brains.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Well, let me go to this adder. Now you're you're
opening the door to what I'm saying. If we keep
seeing these different presentations, is the presentation that concerns us.
Is it possible that she's under the influence of something
that's been slipped into her drink or into her Is
he drugging her? Is is this a Bill Cosby situation?
I mean, what's going on here?

Speaker 4 (13:16):
Right? Uh? And then but then also it's just like,
is she just want just she just want fame and
attention and she knows that she can just play this game,
and so she's just playing along with Kanye West's crazy
hype machine that he's always.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
And this hung and a stare look that she gives.

Speaker 6 (13:32):
Is that just her look when she's about to do
something bizarre where that's where we go. We don't blank,
we just stare and and well it's it's really.

Speaker 5 (13:43):
Bizarre. It is so strange.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
I'm seeing reports now that the claims that Kanye and
Bianca were escorted out are not true, and that Kanye
West simply walked the carpet and got in his car
and left.

Speaker 5 (13:57):
He came, did what he came to do.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
All right, it's jacket back on, we're leaving.

Speaker 6 (14:02):
Yeah, Well, then they would tell these these publications, Hey
maybe they saw police there and assume I don't know,
but it's weird either way.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah, it's weird either way. Uh so put your jacket on,
let's get back in the car, and to quote the
great Joe Cocker, but you can leave your hat on. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (14:20):
Well, you know, you gotta have you gotta have the
worst dress list, and Bianca is number one on that list.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Well, sandwich bag is probably not going to be get
a lot of designers fired. I don't think so. Well.
The thing that's going on to is, I don't we
know that Kanye has some issues. He's been open about those,
and we know that medication he seems to do better
on when he goes on his own not so good.
But uh but then I think there's also you know,

(14:47):
there's all kinds of ways to be famous, and one
of them is just to be weird. Yeah, yeah, I
give you. There's also be super talented. That's a good one,
be good, yeah, But there's also just be super weird, so.

Speaker 5 (14:59):
Weird, sing beautifully, you know.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Write incredible songs.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
Yeah, or ride in in a huge egg on the
runt on the carpet. Yeah, you know, come out of
an egg. Right, It's another way to be fair.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Whatever happened to I'm an outstanding musician who writes great
songs and can sing them really well. Yeah, that's one way.
Yeah yeah it is.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
So be good at something. Yeah, there's that.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
That's one thing. Yeah yeah. Or have something accidentally and
I'm doing air quotes accidentally leak out your own headlines.

Speaker 8 (15:32):
Well and there they are so sad.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
All right, So now I want to take on this
next thing. So Kanye, is you know perplexing story number one?
It looks now like I just came. I was weird,
I got my car left, okay, yeah, And then there's
this Beyonce thing. I really again, I don't pretend to
be an expert on who should win a Grammy and
who shouldn't. I'm not as informed as I once was.

(15:57):
As you heard last week, ask us about eighties music,
and then you better have some time ask us about
what's going on right now. We're going to have to
use our ability to go out and find out stuff
from other journalists because we don't know that much about it.
But this ongoing Beyoncey's country album, uh, and I do

(16:18):
I have this correct? That she won Country Album of
the Year and then one Album of the Year in
any genre. Yes, with the same album.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
I think so, Cowboy Carter, Cowboy Carter.

Speaker 6 (16:31):
I know that she won, yeah, Album of the Year
for the for the Cowboy Cowboy Carter album all but
also Country Album of the Year.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
Yes, Okay, y'all want to hear that announcement. Taylor Swift
made the announcement.

Speaker 6 (16:46):
And Taylor Swift didn't win one trophy last night, not one,
but the Swifties aren't happy.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Well, she won the Travis Kelcey Award though. All right,
I noticed she's wearing red for the Chiefs. The Chiefs
this week. This week means it's a message. By the way,
just got this in super Bowl will be played in
shorts and t shirts. Okay, flags, All right, here we go, and.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
The Grammy goes to Cowboy Carter.

Speaker 9 (17:17):
Are you?

Speaker 4 (17:20):
She adds a surprise.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
She's surprise. I can't believe I won, even though if
I didn't win, I would tell everybody that they discriminated
against discriminated against me because they hate black people.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Right.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yeah, So, even though there's no evidence that anybody's ever
hated Beyonce other than maybe they just don't like your
music or they're just tireded.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
Hey, Shaboozie proves that statement. Wrong right there.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, well and then also on behalf of Greg, who's
not able to be with us today. Uh, and of
course Greg always keeping us updated on her role in
the Illuminati.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
Oh, you know he's got he makes some good points.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Well, some responts are actually pretty scary. See what jay
Z's at the table too, saw that.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
So once they're holding up little triangles to their eyes
at basketball games and things like that. That doesn't help.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
It does not.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
People are on the text line earlier, they're saying that
it looks like there's some conversation between Beyonce and jay
Z that look, don't act up when Ted Tedler Swift
gives you the award, right, don't say anything or just
be nice, Just be nice.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
So you know, they're two queens.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
It's hard to have two queens in the same room.

Speaker 10 (18:28):
But.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
He always does.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
So we'll be back.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
It just all feels I don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
This is the Rick Burgess show.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Plea, but it must have been wrong.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
This is where logic beats left the Rick.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Come on with, come on with. So no Greg today.
Lisa is still having some health issues and just continue
to pray for diagnosis and solutions and texture. I see
some of the stuff you're saying. And yes, Greg is
is on that knowing what's available to him. So thank
you for that. That's that's kind all right. So, and

(19:22):
and by the way, anybody out there, did any of
you ever ever heard this Cowboy Carter album? Is a
good album? Did it deserve country album of the Year
and overall album of the year? I don't know when
I you know, if you go to one of my playlists,
you won't find a lot of Beyonce there. But it's
not because she's not talented, just I don't just not

(19:44):
my cup of tea and and her doing country maybe
maybe it's great. The whole wide world seems to be
doing country now, so I mean it's great. I don't know.
I can't, I don't. I can't me commenting on it.
It's not because I've listened to it, so I can't
really comment on Yeah, you.

Speaker 6 (20:02):
Know, but even though and I don't know what the
deal is here, but even having a twenty and twenty
three and twenty eight.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Year old, they don't talk about it a whole lot either, right.

Speaker 5 (20:13):
It was an industry hyped album.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
That's I listened to the I listened to the single,
I gave it a shot just to see what even
is this?

Speaker 5 (20:25):
And it ain't Texas, it ain't hold them.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
I'll tell you that it's in the song.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Well, it almost feels like, Okay, here I go, here
I go, Come on? Ck why why rick? You know
how we always people were talking about, like when John
Thomas was in here and we all started enunciating better
because of the way that he was speaking, and then
we always laugh about and it makes us grossly uncomfortable
with so much that you're gonna have just sit tight

(20:54):
and get through this. I promise I won't land on
that long, okay, because I know, I know if you're
a second and embarrassment person, this is one of the
this is one of those level level fives. And that's
when white people begin to try to talk hip around
black people. Huh, and they start doing the is can
you go the other way? Can Beyonce try to be
country and be like country folk and country singers and

(21:18):
it almost feels like an act more than a genuine
attempt at country music.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
It does feel like an act out there. She can
get away with it.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Though, what's she used to be? I'm sorry, Queen Bee?

Speaker 4 (21:28):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (21:28):
So okay, all right, So then we have Now there
was a lot of as you expect when you're dealing
with entertainment, uh in the industry, a lot of a
lot of left wing speeches, and you know always you know,
then the fake world even acting like there's some sort
of problem that doesn't even exist.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
And and by the way, when you're dealing with emotions,
remember you're never going to be able to give them enough.
And as we've said about trying to reason with unreasonable
unreasonable people, uh, there's a sign when you should stop
when an unreasonable person and you'll go up, there's one
when they ask you a question about something, you actually
answer it and they don't like your answer even though

(22:11):
that was the answer to their question. Once that happens,
and you go, oh, well here's the answer to that,
and then nothing changes. Move on. Yep, Okay, these people
are just gonna suck the energy out of you. But
then I think there was this artist that's that's like
Maga pro Trump and was wearing one of the red hats.
It says, by the way, the hat stays on. Yeah,

(22:32):
who is this person?

Speaker 4 (22:33):
Joy Villa? Okay, Joy Villa. She has gone viral a
couple times for going to these super liberal events and
wearing like that make America Great Again dress you might
have seen. But here she is at the Grammys last
night talking to Hollywood reporter and this is on the
red carpet.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
And is she an artist or she just says celebrity
is music artist.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
Or she does she records music.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
And she's Latina? Yes, okay, yeah.

Speaker 10 (22:58):
I think the ones that should be deported being deported.
To be honest, I'm a Latina. My family came from
this country to this country legally, and I love to
see rapist human traffickers deported. I don't want to see
them here. I want us to be free, for all colors,
for all people, like that's what makes America great again,
so we can create, so we can live. Like as
an artist, as a musician, I want to be able

(23:20):
to walk at night and not think that I'm going
to get killed by an illegal alien. And so those
are the people getting deported, Those are the people that
should get deported.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
I don't even have nothing to add to that. Yeah,
that's about that. That's about as logical as you can be.
And I don't understand people's argument against that.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
I just followed her.

Speaker 5 (23:38):
I just followed her on X that's it.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
You know, you must say something like that, I'm.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Gonna follow you well. It Also, it also is great
timing today that we're having someone who's dealing with human
trafficking on the show, Jared Hudson, coming up, so he
can speak to this, and I bet when he sees
what an open border has created, what she just said
is just so logical and so common sense that it's

(24:01):
frustrating that that people can't hear that and go, yeah,
now that that is true. A secure border in vetting
people out makes a world of sense. Now, let's try
to vet them out in the most efficient way possible.
In work on that, I've never understood how anyone can
defend an open border. It seems impossible to defend it, really,

(24:23):
is it?

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Really?

Speaker 2 (24:24):
I don't understand that.

Speaker 6 (24:25):
Who's against those the worst of the worst walking the
streets in America?

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Right?

Speaker 6 (24:31):
Who's against rounding them up because we know where they are,
which tells you what the last administration was all about.
I mean, they knew where they were and getting them
out of here? Who's against that?

Speaker 9 (24:42):
Y'all?

Speaker 4 (24:42):
Y'all are clearly xenophobic, And I'm not going to stand
for it personally.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Now right here? Isn't that now when we're supposed to say,
I don't care, Margaret, Yes, is this where you use it?
I'm not sure where to use that, and I want
to start using I don't care market. Yeah, I don't care, market,
go back. I think we're adding gone with the wind?
Are we? I think we're putting going with the wind
in there? We're okay, we are? Yes, I don't but

(25:08):
I've been adding it to and I was called out
on it over the weekend, going, you know, you're combining
Red Butler with this. Really, I don't care.

Speaker 5 (25:16):
Maybe it's that Frankly, my Margaret, I don't here at all.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
I don't think he said again, that's going with the wind?

Speaker 4 (25:23):
Okay, I'm combining, Yes, you are. Here's the clip he
said right at the end. Do we want to just
make sure we're.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Sure we needed to get this man? Sounds good?

Speaker 11 (25:34):
These people just like the 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 Party said that he was properly vetted.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Clearly he wasn't.

Speaker 11 (25:45):
I don't want my children 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.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Do that either.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
No, and that was a very particular case. It wasn't
clear if he was radicalized when he got here or
while he was living.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
I don't really care, Margaret.

Speaker 11 (26:01):
I don't want that person in my country, and I.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Don't really care. I don't really care. I don't Frankly, Margaret, No,
it's I don't really care. I don't really care, Margaret.
I don't really care.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
Okay, now I've got I got it. Probably forget.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, I would also put Frankly in there. I would
also like to ask, this is Margaret now replacing Karen?

Speaker 4 (26:23):
Yes? If it?

Speaker 5 (26:25):
Well, Karen still has so much steam.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
But Karen is a different person than Margaret. Right, Margaret
is a person that you can't reason with on a
point where she keeps she's the yeah, but person And
you're like, I just made my point clear, Margaret. You
know whether the person. If that person was properly vetted
and he turned it out turned out to be planning
a terrorist attack, then we're not vetting them properly and

(26:49):
so so frankly, Margaret, I don't really care. I don't
really care Forgot. I don't really care Margaret. That's it.
I don't really care Margaret. I don't really care Margaret.
I don't want to. In my neighborhood, who wants that.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
There's a lady named Margaret listening right now, and she's like,
please don't make this.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
I'm sorry, Margaret. I'm sorry.

Speaker 6 (27:06):
Margaret's now you know how the Karens feel. Yeah, I'm
gonna have to get that on bank nine.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
Right, Yeah. Or you could be like me, go through
high school with with with the name Rick that rhymes
with terrible things. Try that. I don't really care, Margaret.
I don't really care Margaret.

Speaker 5 (27:23):
If your name is Margaret, you can shorten the maggie.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
You know.

Speaker 5 (27:26):
Do you have options with Karen? It's tough.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
Yeah, you know you're just locked inn.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Do you think, Karen, how about this? Do you think
there are more Karens in our society? I don't mean
what it means. I'm talking about the literal name. Do
you think more people are named Karen than are named Margaret?
Seems to me, I don't know a lot of Margaret's.
My grandmother is a Margaret, and so when I hear Margaret,
I get nervous. You know, you think, Margaret Burgess, did

(27:53):
I stories? Did I tell this on the air? You know,
since since dad went on the end last December and
my grandmother you know, has has has has passed, you know,
several years ago. So my mom found a like a
scrap book of my grandmother's that was a scrap book

(28:15):
of my dad's life. So the family produced that and
we were going through it. Did I tell you some
of the things that we found in them? No? Okay,
that you're not gonna you talk about culture changing. I
didn't tell you about the coach and the letter that
he sent to my grandmother, the coach at Vanderbilt. No,

(28:35):
did I say that on the air or was that author?

Speaker 4 (28:38):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
I don't recall.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Okay, I'd love to hear it, though. Yeah, well now
that we brought it, Margaret Exactually I don't care Margaret
and and the Burgess family you bring up Margaret, you're
talking about the matriarch, baby, No nonsense. You don't want
to face Margaret.

Speaker 5 (28:56):
I remember a long time Karen was more popular than Margaret.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
But now you're with all the stuff. Margaret's blowing Karen
out of the water.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
Okay, really here Karen is upset about it.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Not Frankly, that's I'm going.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
This is the Rick Burgess show. Well, I mean, in
order to truly benefit from this show, you must have
a sense of humor. So lighting up Francis and enjoy it.

(29:28):
The Rick Burgess ship.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
There's another one, lighting up Francis because there we're going.
I don't really care Margaret. Frankly, thank you, thank you. Karen.
By the way, the Karens are texting saying, please Margaret,
take this baton. We're good, We're done. Uh So, anyway,
there you are, so we'll get some others posatany feel

(29:51):
that's still to come. You're not gonna believe what Peter's
trying to do to this, well, you will, you will,
you will, you will believe it. And then Jared Hudson
with Covenant Rescue our guests coming up a little bit
later on, we'll talk about human trafficking. Not an upbeat message,
but it is good to hear what we're doing about
it and how you can participate in that and hopefully

(30:13):
some of this securing the border goes a long way
out and he'll speak to some of that. So that's
coming up. Former Navy seal and uh, really just all
round hoss, all round hoss, one of these men. We're
just we're just so fortunate to have.

Speaker 6 (30:27):
You know, anytime you know, Terry loves Navy Seals. That
the show was at Paramount plus I, and so anytime
I say anything about Navy Seals, she she perks up.
She claims that and he can speak to this that
they can go to sleep within eight minutes by thinking

(30:47):
about nothing.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Have you heard about this? I have not know. Okay,
well that's impressive.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
Yes, I like that. Let's talk. I want to hear.
I want to hear how they do.

Speaker 10 (30:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (30:55):
Yeah, now, now Jared might laugh at me and go speedy,
you have nothing. None of that is right, okay. According
to Terry Best never stopped us that if you think
about nothing, or spell it or over and over again,
before you know it, you're asleep. And they have a
method to go into sleep within minutes because they have
to rest when they care and they can't sit there

(31:15):
with big eye that so they have have a method
to going to sleep fast, and it's to think about nothing.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Okay, why I fall asleep all the time. That's why
I fall asleep all the time.

Speaker 5 (31:25):
That's why I'm thinking about nothing.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
That's why Greg does is off. You're in the show something.
You're right by the way there. We hate the situation,
you know that, Greg. We want Lisa to be feeling
good and having no issues. But there is a little
bit of freedom with him not being here. You eat
your breakfast boldly, you know. I uh, you know. He
when he texts and said unfortunately that he wasn't gonna

(31:48):
be able to be here today. That we thought Lisa
was doing better and had kind of stabilized and he
was going to take it to the doctor to day anyway.
But after the show and then unfortunately she was having
symptoms again. I did go back inside and nearly considered saying,
I think I may change my shirt and wear something
I want.

Speaker 4 (32:05):
To work with that festive shirt.

Speaker 6 (32:07):
Well, I tell you, I looked over at my little
bowl that was riding shotgun with me, that had a
couple of little packets of oatmeal and a banana, and
I said, you good, because I thought that the second
I walked in, he was going to go your bowl.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
God. Well, you said to me, my goodness. And then
of course Adam makes it video of the day or something.
But he's got a little he'll he'll run with Greg
a little.

Speaker 5 (32:33):
There's a lot more coffee without Greg being here too.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Another it is, by the way, if I could speak
to something with the building and some of our our
friends in the broadcast business that work for the same
broadcast company that we're partners with, meaning we share the kitchen. Uh,
somebody's not cutting the coffee pot off now? Oh I know. Look,
we're fine with sharing the buzzbox coffee. But when if

(32:56):
you're the last person to leave the building, turned the coffee.

Speaker 4 (32:59):
Pot off, lord, last cup to poor Yeah, if you
were a last cup, don't leave us.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Now, turned it off? Man. You want a Greg rant? Yeah.
And when I had it today I came in, it
was still on crystallized and at the bottom of it's
got all that black and it's cooked. Oh man, we
got to do better than that. Takes a minute to
claim that one out. So I was mentioning the Margaret
thing and talking about my grandmother, Margaret Burgess, and I
mean just to say in her name, there's people you

(33:27):
know that are going to I mean she she was
no nonsense, and so she was on every committee the
church ever created. Okay, we found we actually found like
a flyer for one Sunday when it was nothing but
a thank you to Margaret Burgess Sunday, and like like,
pastors were writing, what an asset to the church. And
you kept everybody in line, kept everybody in line. You know.

(33:49):
She she ran a lunch room, so she did not
zero no nonsense zero. I love when, out of course,
I would try to mess with us. I got a
little older, and she had this way of just basically saying,
what you just said is so ridiculous. I can't even
do anything but chuckle. And so you're gonna sit where
she wants you to sit at all family gatherings, regardless

(34:09):
of age. Okay. And one day, just for fun, I
told Greg watch this, I walk in. I see. We
called her me, ma, mem why don't we just sit wherever?
Just everybody sit wherever they want today? Now, sit where
I have everybody's name, you know, And she would just
do you know you really it was kind of our version.
I don't know if you remember this when it's not
the greatest thing to say, and you wouldn't say it

(34:30):
in front my grandmother. When somebody says something outlandish and
people you say, you must be lit. You know what
I mean, you must be out of your mind. That
was kind of now. She would never say that because
if you found out you were drinking, you were in
trouble too. But anyway, so you don't mean that. Yeah,
now sit where your name is? Okay, well I'm twenty.
But anyway, so do I have to follow the little

(34:54):
yarn thing you have out? Yes, everybody grabbed the yarn, yes, ma'am.
She would do things like that, like you would find
your seat, like Christmas would be like festive. Okay, but anyways,
so funny. Yes, so we no nonsense zero okay. And

(35:14):
like Greg and I with her at the river, we
never acted up, but I mean she would she would
call us and uh like, let me tell you the
most the question that was the waste of your time.
If my grandmother was in charge of everyone, we did
everybody behave well?

Speaker 9 (35:31):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (35:32):
I mean cause yeah we sure did? Ye yes? Or
pay the price. So so anyway we find this scrap book. Now,
I want you to think about this. Okay, if you
were in her home on a Sunday, You're either going
to training union or go home. There's no well, everybody's here,
nobody's ready to go home. Won't you just not go
to church tonight? You went Wednesday, you went, Sunday morning,

(35:57):
you went Sunday night. Period. Okay. And if you you
either went with her to church or you went home,
if you didn't want to go to church, like you
were from out of town, then you leave. But if
you stay here, we all going to church. Okay. I
find that all these recruiting letters, because dad, you know,
was a played played college football. We find a recruiting

(36:18):
letter from Vanderbilt, and the coach we're reading it just
want to let you know that, you know, your son's
a fine young man. He had he had great impact
on everybody he met. And I thought, okay, and I
even almost wasn't going to read on, and then my
mom said no, read on. Also, missus Burgess talking to Margaret,
we would like to apologize to you that we did

(36:40):
not get Billy home for church. Our travel plan was
to have him home by church time. The plane was
delayed h And we would like to personally apologize that
we did not get your son home in time. To
go to church Sunday, please accept our apology. And I thought,
this is a college football coach apologized, seemed to Margaret

(37:00):
Burgess because they didn't get her son home in time
to go to church Sunday on a weekend recruiting visit.
But they must have heard about that.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
Yeah, she must have told him.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Football coach was afraid
she got She got a letter to her, went even
to dad to her to apologize that Billy didn't got home,
didn't get home in time for church. And he even
put in there. You know, he was basically trying to say,
I can't make the airplane leave on time.

Speaker 6 (37:32):
But you know, he told his staff, we're not gonna
get Billy now. No, and we're not gonna get Billy. Well,
he missed church. Let me tell you I was recruited
by Vanderbilt too.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
I don't understand why Vanderbilt waste their time recruiting Burgesses.
I mean, even if we wanted to come, you never
get this in you know. I mean I remember Greg
when we went to Nashville. He's like, at least we
could get to go to Nashville. Do they really think
they can get you in the scoop, And I said,
I guess they're trying just enjoy the day. Let's just
have fun. But anyway, Yeah, so when I saw that,

(38:00):
I thought, we'll see we weren't the only one. No,
but it was undershooing. The coaches were scared.

Speaker 5 (38:04):
It was understood that was the right thing for them
to apologize.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Right, Sorry, we didn't get Billy home at time for
Sunday scoot. They had to put it in a letter.
Did he make college training union? If that even exist?
You remember training union? I don't know if I had
that time. Yeah, oh that was a Baptist thing, training union.
They don't call it that any That was Sunday Night.
Top of the album.

little towns and cities.

Speaker 5 (42:32):
Yes, it's a little southeast of Montgomery.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Okay. Uh By the way, we had people asking are
y'all here in the whistling down the hall? Not yet,
but we're we're we won't know till people actually start
arriving at this building other than us. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (42:46):
The last I was talking Casey, we talked about him,
some mentioned his name. He helps run the building and
he does a great job. And he was texting with me, going,
we're trying to figure it out what he is, uh,
And I think he was.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
Acting up Thursday or something of last week.

Speaker 6 (43:03):
I said, hey, it's showing out and he said he was, Hey,
I'm thirty minutes away. And it hasn't really done anything
since then, so maybe they figured it out.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
Oh so let me know. Okay, somebody else from the
text line tried to find Buzzbox to purchase over the weekend.
Couldn't find the link to buy it. Go to Burgessministries
dot com. Burgessministries dot com. Look at look right there
at the top it says buzzbox click.

Speaker 6 (43:25):
Hey, you're gonna think I'm not telling the truth, but
we actually bought that.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
And I know you think you didn't buy buzzbox. Off
just telling you we you. You know, you go to
the same place for lying you do for stal.

Speaker 6 (43:39):
I know, but you gave us some to take home
one time and Terry shared it with her mom, and
that's all her moms talked about how good it was,
and so Terry bought some, which is both of us,
it was really two bought some for her parents and
they they love it. I mean like in other words,
if it's not that, then they don't. They have a

(44:00):
tough time drinking.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
Well. One of the was it gave me a rare
victory over my dad when it comes to coffee, of
me being right him being wrong, very very rare. But
I kept telling him. I said that, you know how
when you drink coffee, you know, from the time you
get up, from time you go to bed, this intergestion
you keep having, you keep I said that that's because
of the mold content of this cheap coffee you're buying

(44:23):
at the grocery store. Drink this and you won't have that.
Oh okay, so you're telling me, I drink this coffee
and I'm not gonna have interigestion anymore because some mold content.
I said that I'm telling you if you'll do this.
So he and mom started drinking it, and one day
I said, hey, are you still doing the Well, no,
i'm not, but I mean it probably from the coffee

(44:46):
that's about as close as I could get. I said,
so you start drinking a different coffee and it stopped.
And now it's not the coffee mold content.

Speaker 9 (44:55):
You know, mold.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
I said that way the chef life. When it sits
on the shelf, it gets mold. So I'm drinking moldy coffee.
You were, and they so they just have mold coffee.

Speaker 4 (45:05):
I said that.

Speaker 2 (45:06):
I'm not saying dangerously, I'm just saying that. That's where
that intergestion is coming from. You should see me try
and talk about their Rabbica grade. Try well. I just
finally said, you know, when you do this, it raises
money for the Browner Burgess Memorial Fund. Im with it.
I'll drink it, you know. That's all you had to Yeah,
that's really that. Of course he got it for free,
but still it's still the thought. Well, I just you

(45:28):
brought it up. Now. I just want to let you
know that that Terry's parents love it. We're good love
and I'll look into this purchase. I look when called
Terry and love it. That's I don't know. We're talking
about text, all right, So the the other thing that
we got to talk about will start it. Then we
can come back, and really is it. I was so

(45:49):
thankful that we weren't on the air on Groundhog Day.
Look now I'm gonna start liking Groundhog Day after this
story you have from Peta, because now I'm gonna start
liking it, just despite them, and the reason why they
don't like it is not why I don't like it.
I just think it's goofy, this whole thing with this

(46:10):
I mean groundhog, I mean it just I mean well.
On January.

Speaker 6 (46:16):
On January twenty first, Peter sent a letter to Punks
of Punks at Groundhog Tom Duncle asking if they could
replace the animal with a weather revealed cake instead and
a cake yes, they said, instead of punks a tiny

(46:38):
pheel making an appearance every Groundhog Day, how about a
weather cake reveal instead. We're gonna we're gonna bring that
white yeah to the cake, they said, Uh would be
you know, cut to expose two colors, okay, blue signifying
six more weeks of winter or pink indicated and early spring.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Here we go, almost like a gender revealed cake.

Speaker 6 (47:03):
Okay, And they said that Peter President uh Ingrid Newkirk
said that these animals are not entertainment and they often
enjoy like avoid people.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
They like to you know, have a.

Speaker 6 (47:17):
Little network underground burrows and communicate with one another and
climb tree. They don't like to be out and about
and then so in in you know, in public. So
this is today, This is torture for old Field.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
They interview a groundhog. Was there some kind of was
this some sixty minutes? Yeah, we talked to posatani Field
about his plight. I mean, what are we talking about?

Speaker 6 (47:39):
I know, but you know he saw his shadows. So
we have six more weeks of winter according to uh
to them. But but yeah, Pete's just trying.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Now. Look, but we make fun of this. They shut
down the circus, they did they did anybody see the
circus without animals?

Speaker 6 (47:53):
Howler and Maybury and River went and said they had
a blast. Good said that the whole time though, and
I get it they were they were soakingncerned that somebody
was gonna fall or something, but they had them on
the edge of their seats.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
Said they had a great time. Okay, so we well,
if you remove the animals, you got to take the daredevil.
And now, of course Wesley that we had on the show.

Speaker 4 (48:12):
Good gracious, Yeah, one wheel, One Wheel Wesley. I got
heard great reviews on one Wheel Wesley.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
Okay, yeah that's good, buddy, you say that so quick.
But but you made up you make a point. Pete
was successful. They were, they were, they were, and they
shut the circus down. Yeah, and the circus had to
re we lost all the animals.

Speaker 6 (48:29):
Yeah, and so well, they're trying to get their best
to get rid of the groundhog and just replace it
with a cake that's gonna turn me.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
See, I was anti this and I kind of wanted
it to go away, But now that Peta wants it
to go away, I gotta be for it now. Yeah,
and that's a weird place for me.

Speaker 4 (48:46):
The cake didn't even make any sense. Didn't make any sense,
and then maybe would be better, like if we're doing
gender revealed, stuff was still a cannon that shoots out
confetti or something. That's all.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
I don't want to rain on anybody's parade. And I
guess I'm trying to make sure that Greg's comments are
still made today. But this whole gender reveal thing, I
feel so bad for this generation of men that now
they have to Now if they don't do a gender
revealed their wives will get mad at them, and everybody's
gonna be upset that the first guy that gives into
these things. Like you know, we grew up in the

(49:16):
era where you had to go to all the appointments
with your wife. But there was a time that wasn't
the case till some guy caved. And now some guys
caved on gender reveal, and now everybody has to do one.

Speaker 6 (49:26):
Hey, Reyes came home this this weekend and said, hey,
you talking about an epic fell. He was at one
of his buddy's house and somebody went and got what
looked like a gender revealed deal, but it was confetti,
and they would it was a surprise party and whatever
they were all hiding out. He walks in and they
all pop them and they sold them the wrong thing.
It was actually no they it was blue reveal powder

(49:48):
and it was all in the house. Its stained, was
stained the roof, It went all over their clothes.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
See what I mean? And they see what I mean.
They was like for two whiles. You talk about to
shut down a party. For two hours, they did clean up. No,
oh yes, says he still can't get it off all
the shoes. I just went everywhere. They thought it was
Abbetti and it was at powder.

Speaker 4 (50:08):
That is hilarious.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
Boy, oh gosh, I want us to go back to
not even knowing to the baby's born yet. I want
to go all the way back her.

Speaker 4 (50:17):

hit the Grammys a little bit. That side show. Got

(52:56):
a few more clips from that if we want to
hit that later. But we also have we have the
super Bowl, which is coming up this Sunday. You excited,
not like I wish I was. And I don't know
what it is this year, something about this year in football.
I just I never could get in a rhythm. I

(53:18):
don't know why. I love football. I think it's the
best sport we got, but I never could get in
a rhythm college or pro. Now. I don't watch a
lot of professional football anyway, but I always watched the
Super Bowl. I enjoyed the Super Bowl, and I will
watch it, There's no doubt about that. I like the matchup.
I think these are two great teams. So you hear
me talking to myself. Yeah, you're trying to talk yourself

(53:39):
into it. If y'all want to watch any of the
Super Bowl commercials, Greg's not here today, we could get out.
We could get away with it a little, can we not? Please?
Because are you like him?

Speaker 6 (53:50):
The last year or two we've kind of pulled back
on that, and the staff comes in on Monday, going, man,
I'm glad we didn't really play a bunch of them
because I was able to watch them and you'd be
surprised and not know everything that was going to happen.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
I agree with that. I think I'm in the Greg
camp on this. I do think it's a better experience
if you just wait and see them for the first
time during the game.

Speaker 6 (54:10):
Yeah, I mean this week, if we have one that
stands out that's just out there, maybe maybe one that's
controversial or something.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
Who knows that.

Speaker 4 (54:17):
Bud Light one is pretty funny? Actually I did see that.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
This is really well, why are you now ruining it?
I thought you just said you don't like to ruin it.

Speaker 4 (54:24):
It was it just showed up on my feed.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
And I know me saying this is outlandish. I ruined everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you do. So if I see it, I'll be talking
about you. Tell me what.

Speaker 6 (54:36):
We try to watch movies before you, Yeah, so we
can actually enjoy.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
The TV shows. And you you ruined Gladiator too for me?
You're right, I did, He'll do that. Yeah, of course
you found yourself kind of agreeing with I did, but
that's the whole thing I thought about the whole time. Wow,
you're saying the seed was planned. Probably wouldn't have been
so critical of who they chose as the gladiator. Yeah.
I didn't tell Terry and she never even picked up
on what's that actor? Gerard's something?

Speaker 4 (55:01):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (55:01):
Butler, he would have been perfect. Is he a little old?

Speaker 3 (55:05):
Though?

Speaker 2 (55:05):
Now for for where that guy was supposed.

Speaker 6 (55:06):
To be maybe yeah, yes, Greg thinks they missed I
mean Rick thinks they miscasted the Gladiot.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
I think they miscast the Gladiare. I didn't buy him
as Gladiare.

Speaker 4 (55:16):
Sorry, Yeah, I would have gone with somebody else.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Yeah, hey, Chucky, I didn't. I didn't find myself wanted
to go to war with him. I didn't think he
would tell me to unleash. You know, I don't think
I would have followed him.

Speaker 1 (55:28):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Now, I would have followed gladiated one guy, no question.

Speaker 3 (55:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
Yeah, this guy just never I never bought him. Okay,
but really we're talking about again, So super Bowl. You
say bud Light has a funny one coming.

Speaker 4 (55:45):
Yeah, yeah, you guys, you know we all know about
bud Light sales tanked because they picked Dylan mulvaney a
sponsorship partner. It wasn't even a full blown like ad campaign.
But you know, they put Dylan Mulveney's face on a
a bud Light can. That was not a good move.
So they've moved the complete opposite direction and they've got
that what's his name, uh, Shane.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
Oh yeah, he's hilarious. Would he have been a good gladiator?

Speaker 4 (56:14):
No?

Speaker 5 (56:14):
No, it was not very soft, Yeah, very soft guy.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
Okay, and I have seen this one, this one, this
one's been running.

Speaker 4 (56:22):
Yeah, yeah, okay, we will be running this. They're going
to continue this storyline during the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
I've seen this one.

Speaker 5 (56:28):
Kings of the cul de Sac or whatever. Ye, Shane Gillis,
I can't believe.

Speaker 4 (56:31):
I couldn't think of that, but yeah, so post malone,
Shane Gillis and people are saying that the funniest thing
ever that bud Light could do is have Dylan mulvaney
make a cameo in the cul de Sac during the
Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
That would be funny, fantastic, I would laugh, would be
fun I'd be great with that. That would be funny.
Are people drinking the blue cans again?

Speaker 4 (56:52):
Blue cancer? I guess back Shane Gillis has really done
a lot to bring that we came back.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
What about Post Malon.

Speaker 5 (57:00):
I mean, he's scary enough, he could be a villain.

Speaker 6 (57:02):
He's more of a villains Belong Country album better than Beyonce's.

Speaker 4 (57:08):
I did like a lot of the speaking of the cameos,
a lot of the cameo artists that were on Post Beloris.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
Around and all fairness.

Speaker 4 (57:14):
He had some help Billy strings his shred.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. They are the uncles
your parents warned you about the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
I still say that we're the fun uncles. Okay, all right,
so let's keep moving. A lot to cover on the
program today. We have stories from the weekends still coming.
We got a two year old birthday party, Speedy's road trip,
the Burgess Brothers try to do a little Honey. All

(57:59):
that is still to come on the program. Kind of
hitting you on some the updates today. Horrible, horrible plane
crash again, this one in Philadelphia. Uh and unfortunately it
also crashed into a mall area, so there are a
lot of civilians. It's been shocking. Of course, if one

(58:20):
person dies, you know it's too many. But boy, when
you saw it, you thought there's going to be I mean,
you really thought the death toe was going to really
be something. Yeah, And so it was bad, no doubt
it's bad, but it could have been a lot worse. Horrible,
horrible background. I mean, this was a medvac, so we

(58:40):
had a child that had just had an operation, right
that everybody felt like it went well and they were
taking them back home. Yeah right, yeah, And I think.

Speaker 6 (58:50):
That she was from Mexico and I think that she
was in there her mom and uh and some staff
and and and everything else.

Speaker 3 (58:58):
And Uh.

Speaker 6 (58:58):
It was weird because being down and on the road,
I didn't I didn't really hear the breaking news. So
it was like splinter of information like did you hear this?
Did you hear that?

Speaker 2 (59:09):
I'm like what?

Speaker 6 (59:10):
And then you pull it up and it's just horrific,
And you're right, it's amazing that only one person was
killed where it hit well, because the debris and the
video dash cam footage of it coming down is really unbelievable.

Speaker 5 (59:25):
So sad it just comes straight down like it's insane.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
Yeah. Well, we've had some experts that have tried to
explain this, because I just got to tell you this
world of disinformation and misinformation and people just wanting clicks.
Just all of you do not get your news from
people's social media, just don't. I mean, they had this.
I mean, it's a horrible, horrible thing, and it looks

(59:51):
like speedy. You mentioned that one of the people that
they interviewed that was an expert, that it was kind
of rainy and visibility was not great eight right, that
when they took off, they think some kind of cargo
or something may have shifted and tilted the plane. And
now because of the even the satellite sweeps them only

(01:00:13):
being sixteen hundred feet off the ground, that they think
it may have been similar to what they think happened
with Kennedy, was that the plane got headed in the
wrong direction, the pilot got confused, And the reason why
it looks like it's just a missile is that this
pilot thinks that they're still taking off up at five

(01:00:34):
hundred miles an hour when they're really nose diving into
the ground, that maybe visibly got confused, the plane shifted
and started headed downward. He's trying to figure out where
the instruments and this time about what direction he's going
because he's in you know, if you've ever been in
a small plane and you get into foggy conditions or

(01:00:56):
a cloud, you can't see anything.

Speaker 6 (01:00:58):
Yeah, and you know, the first report is that it
was it was already on fire, it was coming down.
But now they're looking into that and they think it
might just be the lights of the plane going through
the fog and the clouds and the rain because it
was rainy, as you just mentioned, and so it wasn't
on fire, but you know, that's what it appeared to be.
But again, they're looking for that voice recorder.

Speaker 9 (01:01:19):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:01:19):
That what everybody known as the black box. And that's
really gonna tell us. But at first, you know, everybody
was confused as to what happened. Now that they've had
time to kind of really analyze some of the stuff
in the footage, the experts are saying, what what you
mentioned is there might have been a shift of or
something that got the wing and you know, off balance,

(01:01:40):
and then the nose started going down and.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
He thinks he's trying to get go up and really
he's nose diving into the ground. And uh, and and
so another way we need super time. Yeah. Another thing
is when when when people were talking about you know,
once it hits the ground. I mean, there's all kinds
of you know, horrible things that happened from it. Yeah,

(01:02:05):
but then, you know, you when you just be careful
of all the misinformation. I've actually already heard, you know,
I told you I followed that thing on social media
that has the toiwer talking to the pilot. Yeah. Well
they already have this one out.

Speaker 9 (01:02:19):
They have this.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
Yeah, and if you don't hear any drama, you just
hear the tower clearing them for takeoff, tells them what
runway you're clear to go. He's given the roger that
they're talking no problem at all. Well, this happens so
fast after takeoff, and you hear the tower going calling
back to them. All you hear, hey, you up and gone.

(01:02:43):
You know, I'm that's not what they say. They use
the they're calling the tail number. They're talking, they're saying,
and then because he's trying to hand him off, which
they do. If you've ever heard the air traffic, you're
leaving this smaller airport, but I'm about to hand you
off to another airport because you've got to go through
their traffic. And he keeps saying hey to the other airport.
Are you commune? You got him? You know? And then

(01:03:05):
he keeps calling for him, keeps calling for him, keeps
calling for him. It's no response. So but you hear
them say yep, here we go. And then it happened
so fast that.

Speaker 6 (01:03:18):
And what I heard too, wasn't didn't someone else jump
in and go, hey, what's going on? And they say, hey,
we've lost contact. Yeah, all he's heard responding, and so
we're closing. We're closing.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
They heard them frantically trying to get him to respond,
and they know they've got problems. So this man. Have
you seen this guy that escapes death as the debris?
You know it's it's people are sitting at a restaurant.
Oh yeah, and debris just comes flying through. It knocks
this guy's hat off, Yeah, and almost hits him right
square in the forehead. Watch WA's the older man on
the second back? Yeah, I mean, did you see how

(01:03:52):
fast that came in there? If that hits him in
the forehead, it kills him like a bullet.

Speaker 4 (01:03:57):
Don't you think it took his hat off his head?

Speaker 6 (01:03:59):
Yeah? It was just a really small piece of debris.
It looked like almost like a golf ball. Or something
came and knocked it off. Someone's weighing in here, twenty
two years of air force here. All signs point to
stall based upon what you already reported about a potential
center of gravity shift.

Speaker 4 (01:04:20):
I've seen large cargo planes have that same issue too.
I forget what country it happened in, but it was
one of these large like ups airplanes, and with that
shift of weight causing major problems stall out and.

Speaker 6 (01:04:36):
Crash, spatial disorientation. Your instruments are saying you're doing fine,
but you're really not.

Speaker 5 (01:04:44):
Your instruments say you're doing fine.

Speaker 6 (01:04:46):
The instruments are telling you you're flying, but the pilot
is seeing and dealing with something else. And they think
that's one reason why there's no response from the pilot
because they're trying to figure it out. And then for you,
if you're only sixteen hundred up going that fast, they said.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
You you're you're on the ground before you know it.

Speaker 4 (01:05:05):
Oh so fast, so fast.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
Yeah, So sad uh and U did.

Speaker 6 (01:05:10):
Fox News was quick because we get back from games
and stuff on the road and we turn it on
and and they're talking to people that are there, like
people that were just in traffic, and so they just
started running to the scene to try to figure out
what happened because uh one, one lady said it was
there was such confusion that people were saying, we're under

(01:05:32):
attack because it came down of the sky like a
rocket and everybody was trying to figure out what is
happening here. But some people that were in traffic, and
we have some of that dash cam footage that Adler
has been showing, they just started running over to the
scene to try to find somebody and it was just nothing,
just everything was disintegrated.

Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
Yeah. Oh yeah, Well you when you hit the ground
going five hundred miles an hour and you know, and
this is the thing you always worry about too, and
you saw the results. You know, this thing's full of
fuel because they just took off.

Speaker 4 (01:06:04):
Yeah, I mean, there's there's there's just a hole in
the ground.

Speaker 2 (01:06:07):
Yeah, eight feet that's what the hole in.

Speaker 4 (01:06:11):
The earth where this plane smashed into it. I don't
see there's no plane there, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
Right, Yeah, And so that's the people on board were
you know, they were alive one minute and and gone
the next. There was no no in between, no and
and we saw some horrible footage of people who did
catch on fire, you know, because of the explosion and stuff.
And so there's definitely people who've been burned and and
there were some that were killed. It was just it

(01:06:38):
was it was a terrible, terrible thing. But but all
the conspiracy things started on it, and and I was like,
you know, why don't we wait to the experts kind
of tell us what happened. But you know, immediately it
was there's no way, there's no way, man, this is
just a crash. Now. Sometimes yeah, you know, there's there's
there's a lot of scenarios, very sad scenarios that would

(01:07:00):
produce this exact scene.

Speaker 6 (01:07:02):
Yeah, maintenance records for the aircraft says they came back impeccable,
so nothing they see was wrong with the plane and
it was it NTSB's now involved, so we'll see.

Speaker 2 (01:07:16):
Yeah, so there's that, and then you know, we'll continue.
We still have the investigation going on the other one
we've got.

Speaker 4 (01:07:23):
Yeah, there's it's gonna say, there's been so many air
issues just within the last week. You had Potomac obvious
huge tragedy Philadelphia, the one we just talked about, there
was the one in Santa Barbara, and then in Alaska.
We showed that jet falling out of the sky. That's
in the last week. Yeah, what's going on.

Speaker 2 (01:07:40):
We'll be back more Rick Burgess Show right after this.

Speaker 1 (01:07:44):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. The people who don't

(01:08:06):
like this show, you wouldn't like anyway, the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 12 (01:08:11):

Boy. He is a fire crack. I never stopped, He
never stops. No, he's got you know, he'll have an
ear infection in his sex.

Speaker 2 (01:10:52):
Drop of a hat.

Speaker 4 (01:10:52):
Yeah, I loves him. Drop one of my favorite things.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
Drop of a hat.

Speaker 4 (01:10:56):
My my joke I think of my life is one
of the best jokes I've ever said ever, is that
over Christmas. He loves almost so much that I'm a
little concerned. He thinks Christmas is about the birth of Elmo.

Speaker 2 (01:11:07):
I remember that great line.

Speaker 4 (01:11:09):
Yeah, because he's gotten so he loves almost so much.

Speaker 5 (01:11:12):
But man, he's he's amazing. He's just getting so big.

Speaker 4 (01:11:14):
We did have to get him some tubes in his ears,
and that has helped. But now he's something. Something's going
around right now. You can hear it in my voice
as well. I'm still getting over it. And y'all. I
woke up Saturday morning and I could not talk like
it was like like I sounded like John. And so

(01:11:37):
you're gonna have the kids are over it, right, uh
And but it hangs on me way way way, you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
Know, because they wore you down, right. They actually have
an immune system that operates it, you know, pretty good
efficient slowly killing me. Kids will slowly kill you.

Speaker 4 (01:11:56):
Oh I'm feeling it so much right now. I haven't
felt well since Ruby was born. That's the last time
I felt, you.

Speaker 2 (01:12:06):
Know, I remember that was kind of a I had
clarity of thought, my voice worked.

Speaker 4 (01:12:11):
If I needed to take a nap in the afternoon,
I just did.

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
You're the point now, you're the point now. Honestly, you
can't remember the last time your sinuses were good?

Speaker 4 (01:12:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's before COVID since then.

Speaker 5 (01:12:25):
But man, he's such a little little dude.

Speaker 4 (01:12:28):
I'm just so proud of him, and he and his
sister are learning to play together better. But as my
family comes over, everybody hears my voice, and adlers have
to protect their voice.

Speaker 9 (01:12:40):
They do.

Speaker 4 (01:12:44):
Living, that's right, and so you just they get this
extra level of concern.

Speaker 5 (01:12:49):
The first words they hear me say, you know, I'm.

Speaker 4 (01:12:52):
Like, no, I'm fine. I'm just yet, It's good. You
won't sound like this.

Speaker 2 (01:12:57):
You know we've done the bits on before. You you know,
there's always that. I know, I feel fine.

Speaker 9 (01:13:02):
I just can't talk.

Speaker 4 (01:13:03):
You know, I feel great.

Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
And you're like, if you felt great, I think you
could talk.

Speaker 5 (01:13:08):
I said that, you feel like you have to explain that.

Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
You know, I feel way better than I down.

Speaker 4 (01:13:14):
Don't worry, I feel way better than.

Speaker 2 (01:13:16):
I vou's so good, your hands so excited.

Speaker 5 (01:13:22):
I didn't I sat out on the happy Birthday song?

Speaker 4 (01:13:25):
You know that was.

Speaker 2 (01:13:28):
Like move my mouth? You know, well, your job is
to give him a festive day, not scared of the living, right, right,
exactly what's wrong with daddy? Why's he got his monster voice?

Speaker 4 (01:13:38):
Didn't he didn't spit on the cake? He got it?

Speaker 5 (01:13:40):
Took him, you know, a few puffs to get the
candle out.

Speaker 2 (01:13:43):
When you're when you're blowing candles out, not to spit.

Speaker 4 (01:13:45):
Yeah, yeah, we're too when you're that little Oh no.

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
When a two year old blows out the candles, no
one's getting slashed if you almost have just to blow
out the candles. Cake, and then we get a small
one than the one we Yeah, over here, guys, don't
where I have another cake where actually can don't worry.
But then everybody said, I'd rather him blow his voice.

Speaker 4 (01:14:04):
Just keep Adler away. Yeah, the four year old daughter
is you know, she's getting more aware and and and
it's hard when you're not the birthday kid. Or we
got balloons, we're decorated and we're opening presents and boy
uh the phrase was said by the four year old,

(01:14:25):
I don't like when you pay attention to Ezra on
his birthday, just like, wow, you're just laying it out.

Speaker 2 (01:14:30):
So she communicated that clear. She said that, you know what,
she doesn't beat around the bush.

Speaker 7 (01:14:34):
I like you.

Speaker 4 (01:14:35):
Yes, yeah, we all knew that she owned it. I
had to say stop opening his presence a thousand times,
let him do it, let him do it, don't do it.
Don't pull it out. You know you don't pull it out.
He pulls it out.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
Yeah, let me.

Speaker 9 (01:14:51):
It was so.

Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
Frustrating, y'all do the I've seen this when they're young,
not when they get older. You know, we still do
it for Greg, but are there's there's there's a ploy
that I know grandparents should do. Sometimes they'll bring a
gift for the older sibling as well. If they're still small.

Speaker 4 (01:15:06):
No, yes, yes, where we got a little tiny, little
polly pocket thing that helped a lot. That was very smart.
I should have thought of that. I didn't. Instead, I
thought Ruby would like learn and observe and be mature
and understanding.

Speaker 5 (01:15:19):
She's four, Chris.

Speaker 1 (01:15:21):
Four years right right.

Speaker 4 (01:15:23):
In fact, we opened a bunch of presents as a
family in the morning and I had to stop. Ruby
every just needed a help her. That's not helping. That's
doing that's not helping, baby, You're not helping. You're doing it.
You're opening the present. His presence is what you're doing
right now. And so later when we're all we got
the whole family there, we're opening all of those presents

(01:15:46):
and I literally said to Ruby stop, move back away.

Speaker 5 (01:15:49):
You moved back away, and everybody in the room's like, wow,
that's hard.

Speaker 4 (01:15:52):
So you don't understand. You didn't see it. Okay, she
doesn't understand.

Speaker 2 (01:16:00):
Had her looks angry. I wish you could explain it
to us.

Speaker 4 (01:16:03):
Try it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:04):
You've really been hollering at her right, I wonder you
lost your Wow.

Speaker 5 (01:16:09):
It wasn't from yelling.

Speaker 4 (01:16:11):
It wasn't from yell. It's because they're trying to kill me.

Speaker 2 (01:16:15):
They bring everything, only give me sick. But but did
Ezra Was he even aware that his sister was doing it?
Did it bother him?

Speaker 3 (01:16:22):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (01:16:23):
Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, boy he'll hit. He'll hit in
a second.

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
Two and he's a little boy.

Speaker 4 (01:16:29):
Yeah, it's not so much as that it's a problem
because his hands are very soft. It's the head buddy,
Yeah yeah, no, yea, No, head budding is real, bro.

Speaker 5 (01:16:38):
You know everybody me just in the cheek bone this game.

Speaker 4 (01:16:40):
I felt that that rattled my teeth.

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
Son. They don't go by the role. Nothing above the shoulders. Actually,
that's where they taught you. If I wasn't your dad,
I think i'd cry right now.

Speaker 4 (01:16:50):
And he stopped shoving his fingers into my eyelids.

Speaker 9 (01:16:53):
But I watched that.

Speaker 4 (01:16:56):
Daddy can't see you're killing me, You kill.

Speaker 1 (01:17:01):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. You better listen up.

Speaker 4 (01:17:15):
You know what we say.

Speaker 2 (01:17:18):
Ass I'm na tell.

Speaker 4 (01:17:21):
You gotta find.

Speaker 1 (01:17:26):
Broadcasting from the real world, The Rick Burgers Show.

Speaker 2 (01:17:31):
It can be a scary place, but nothing here but
the real world. Thanks for being with us. Speedy is here,
Adler is here. Greg out today. Hopefully we'll be back
with us tomorrow. As we work to another show. Still
got weekend updates to come. Your phone call is also
eight eight eight number six big box text line in

(01:17:55):
Texas at eight eight eight six two four four eight
six and that's the same number, so text are called.
So you know, we've been talking a lot. Our country
has had quite the debate over securing the border, and
as we said, you know, there's nothing unreasonable. As a

(01:18:16):
matter of fact, it's logical that you would want to
vet your nation's borders to be sure that you know
who's coming in who's not. Makes a lot of sense.
It became quite a bone of contention between the politicians
and the left and the right, and Trump now is
he had started securing the border. He now has committed

(01:18:36):
to that again. But one of the things that we've
seen a big rise in it's horrible, it's wicked, it's dark,
it's human trafficking, and thank goodness, we have people who
feel like they've been called to try to do something
about it. Jared Hudson is one of those men. Covenant

(01:18:57):
Rescue Group is the organizations to five O one C three.
Former US Navy seal Jared Hudson joins us on the
Rick Burgess show. Jared, thanks for for being here with us.
He's doing okay there we thanks for having me. Yeah,
it is and you very serious topic we're going to have.
But you know, our our guest, Mike is in front

(01:19:19):
of big boy. Yeah, you know, it's a big boy.

Speaker 13 (01:19:22):
Actually kind of feels like, uh, he might be ready
to traffic somebody.

Speaker 2 (01:19:27):
The way he's looking at he's got.

Speaker 13 (01:19:33):
Yeah Navy seal, but this guy over here is kind
of scary.

Speaker 2 (01:19:36):
So thank you for your service to the country and
thank you for answering this call. It's it really is
a horrible thing. This is the that deal, you know,
sometimes just so we can protect ourselves. We don't want
to believe in the level of depravity of human beings.
But you, unfortunately have had a front row seat to this.

(01:19:58):
Human trafficking is real. It is a problem. I know
that your organizations you want to bring this wicked organized
enterprise to an end. And I love one of the
things that you guys are committed to to release the captives,
bind up the broken hearted, bring swift and sure justice

(01:20:20):
to the wicked people that capture them. So you've seen
it firsthand. It's a real problem.

Speaker 13 (01:20:26):
Yeah, it is, and you know to kind of this
will be a general overview, I guess. But if you
look at it this way, and we primarily work state side,
we work overseas as well. I have had the privilege
of working in subs are in Africa, a bunch of
different Haiti, a bunch of different places like that. But
we primarily work state side with local law enforcement agencies
and then help make state and federal cases. But if

(01:20:47):
you look at it, fifty six percent of children targeted,
and we let me step one, one step back. We
strictly focus on child exploitation because when a child's involved,
it's always human tra If an adult's involved, it might be,
it might not be.

Speaker 2 (01:21:03):
That makes sense.

Speaker 13 (01:21:04):
So when a child's involved, it is human trafficking by
the definition of federal and state law.

Speaker 8 (01:21:09):
It's the used state of Alabama, for instance.

Speaker 13 (01:21:11):
And fifty six percent of those children affected or affected
by somebody they know, right, so not a family member,
but by like a coach, a teacher, a pastor, what
would be called a person of trust. Then these are
the DOJ and American Psychiatric Association statistics. Thirty seven percent
of those kids are affected by a family member, father, mother, brother, sister,

(01:21:33):
babysitter would I guess baby should wouldn't fall in your family,
but somebody that's related to them. That's thirty seven percent
and the final seven percent are unknown. So the first
thing that we have to break down is that everybody
thinks that human trafficking is this unknown group of people
who are still in kids of selling them.

Speaker 8 (01:21:50):
That happens, but it's extremely rare.

Speaker 13 (01:21:54):
Most of it is people who are known, and so
that's what we're essentially targeting when we go after individuals
who are traffing kids stateside.

Speaker 2 (01:22:01):
So when you say someone who is known, that's the
person that has captured the child, manipulated the child and
then tries to sell the child, or is actually using
the child on an ongoing basis both both.

Speaker 13 (01:22:14):
So I will say that we see the female demographic
selling children more commonly than we see the female demographic
purchasing children. We see the male demographic purchasing kids like
ninety five percent of the time. Right, it's very rare
that we see females show up to buy kids. And
the way we get in we run decoy based operations.
So where and we'll be, we will target individuals who

(01:22:39):
are specifically targeting kids. And so when they show up,
they're looking to buy twelve thirteen, fourteen, fifteen year old
boy girl for sex and the reason that's important. So
when we make that arrest, and we'll run operations and
average about ten or rest per operation, and that's once
a month.

Speaker 2 (01:22:54):
Wow.

Speaker 13 (01:22:54):
But for each one of those arrests, the DOJ and
American Psychiatric Associations say, for every guy showing up for
a little boy, there's one hundred and fifty victims until
he's prosecuted, not until he's arrested, until he's prosecuted. So
that is there's two aspects of law enforcement. Arrest physical apprehension. Well,
that's easy, you know, snatch a dude right to kidnap
a guy, right, and then actually prosecuting him. That's the

(01:23:15):
second aspect of law enforcement. We have to have those
two things work together. Sometimes these guys are arrested. A
lot of times they are arrested. Think of the Chris
Hansen thing, right, that's symbolism without substance. No one cares
that you're telling him now you're a bad guy. And
maybe he gets arrested. But if some defense attorne him,
molests the case to the point where he gets thrown out.
We don't have a prosecution, and you have one hundred
and fifty victims. Now that's mail for boy, it's fifty

(01:23:36):
for every man showing up for a little girl. So
when we look at that, there's an average of one
hundred victims. Every arrest you make, there's an average of
one hundred victims in that person's path. Wow, depending on
which way they go.

Speaker 2 (01:23:48):
So that number is so much bigger than I thought
it would be.

Speaker 13 (01:23:51):
I almost didn't believe it until we started getting reached
out to by victims in places we worked and made
arrest set. I mean, we had a lady and she
did a story with I think eighteen nineteen news. She
called and did a story with him and said, hey,
this rust I made this guy rape me fifteen years
ago or twenty years ago when I was thirteen years old.
She reached out to our team and told the story.

(01:24:12):
She said, thank you for what you're doing. We have
a lot of victims that reach out to us, but
they don't want to be made public. This lady said,
it's okay, share my story, understood, but it's blown me
away how much that actually happens, that, how many victims
there really are.

Speaker 2 (01:24:26):
I know that you that you're a man of faith
and you share our faith in Christ, so I don't
redemption is you know, is transformative. Okay, But aside from
that one thing that has been said, and I want
to see if you would say yes that that is correct.
The sad part is most of the wicked people that

(01:24:47):
are doing this, the rehabilitation success stories are or are
not very high.

Speaker 13 (01:24:53):
No, I would say, I would say they definitely are.
And I mean it's that depraved mindset where I think
you mentioned it before we started, just this sin fallen
world we live in. I mean, this is the natural
outcome of sin, correct and God says finally, hey, I
give them over to that debased mindset. I think that
you're getting closer to that level with people who are
talking to kids. It's not that God can't, through the
person of Jesus Christ, redeem any of these individuals.

Speaker 8 (01:25:16):
It is just very rare. I have not seen it.

Speaker 13 (01:25:18):
I'm not saying that it hasn't happened or it can't happen,
because I have no doubt that the power of Christ
I'm more powerful than anything we've seen. I just haven't
seen it take place where these individuals are redeemed personally,
I mean being a guy who went overseas. I mean,
we shot people for a whole lot less overseas. You know,
I would love to tell these dudes report the parking
lot for the fire and squad smoke them and be
done with it. But we do live in a first

(01:25:41):
world country where vigilanti justice doesn't work, and so that's
why we do seek arrest and prosecution. And also in
that there is that opportunity, because there's still alive, there's
that opportunity for grace to be extended and at a minimum,
at least through prayer that the Holy Spirit would change
these individuals' lives.

Speaker 8 (01:26:00):
You're probably not going to be able to talk to
them to change them.

Speaker 2 (01:26:02):
But there's really other than that. These these attempts from
a secular standpoint, they have not been successful at all.

Speaker 8 (01:26:10):
No, absolutely not.

Speaker 13 (01:26:11):
You know, and you've got the I mean we got this,
you know, media and all this stuff at our at
our fingertips, you know, have the poor an epidemic that exist.
I think that creates you know a lot more of
a problem or or exaggerates the problem, especially with men.
But no, they're short of just an absolute you know,
Saul becoming Paul type moment in these individuals' lives, and

(01:26:31):
a lot of them would claim to be Christians. And
we've had guys reach out say I'm a Christian. I
want you to pray with me. I'm saying we might
reach out to him and talk to him and pray
with them, But you're only a Christian now and wanting
to pray about it because you got caught, You got
rolled up. And so I've noticed there's never been a
real heart shift.

Speaker 8 (01:26:46):
And what's it say?

Speaker 13 (01:26:47):
You know, what are those who taste and see that
the Lord is good? But they turn to go the
other way, And so that's kind of you know, Yeah,
there's a lot of recidivism in that. It's hard to
see a change in an individual who's willing to buy
or sell a child for sex. I'll leave you one
more thing, the worst that I've seen, at least here Stateside.
Overseas you see some other things. But a guy we rolled,

(01:27:09):
he's showing up by a fourteen year old girl. Again,
we're targeting that seven percent of the unknown. They're just
showing up for the random young lady or young man.
He showed up for a fourteen year old girl. We
rest and go through the process, get a warrant, rip
his phone, go through. I wan't talk about the whole thing,
but the case has already met us a disposition. This
a couple of years ago. He had images on his
phone where he was having sex with his own eighteen

(01:27:30):
month old daughter. So he was producing child porn and
he was selling or distributing child porn. You're gonna have
listeners on here that know that, Like there's no doubt
just by statistics that they look at child porn, they
deal with it. They might not mess with kids, but
you have to realize there's a real victim there. That's
where the FEDS really get involved. The FBI is bad
at a lot of things, but one thing that FBI

(01:27:50):
is really good at. One thing Homeland Security is really
really good at is running down those child pornography distribution
hubs for lack of a better word, and production, find
out where they're produced in frond of those kids.

Speaker 2 (01:28:04):
All right, so we come back, we come back. Yeah.
I don't think any of us like to think that
human beings can be that. To pray, but as you said,
there's a wickedness that sim eventually produces when left unchecked.
We'll come back. We'll tell you more about Covenant Rescue.

(01:28:24):
You can go to Covenant Rescue dot org yourself. There's
an opportunity this week too to get involved.

Speaker 1 (01:28:30):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, the only show hosted
by an Oxford graduate, well Oxford High School. The Rick

(01:28:52):
Burgess Show.

Speaker 2 (01:28:53):
All right, we're here. We're talking with Jared Hudson today
and it's a tough conversation, but it's an important conversation.
And so we're talking about human trafficking. He specializes with
children because in those cases, you know, you know what
you're dealing with. You were also talking about Jared in

(01:29:13):
the break and I do want to mention this real quick.
If you're going to be in the Birmingham area coming
up this Friday night. Now, I think there may be
a seed or two still availables that right, how many
you think you're some sea.

Speaker 13 (01:29:26):
It's available, but I think there were two hundred and
fifty total or two hundred sixty total. They're almost completely
sold out. I don't think there's any tables available.

Speaker 2 (01:29:33):
Okay, but individual seats. So Jared will be speaking a
night of hope and freedom. It's a benefit dinner that's
going to benefit the organization Covenant Rescue dot org. It'll
be in Birmingham, Alabama, and if you would like to
find out more information on that, and the event is

(01:29:53):
going to be located at Saint Mark the Evangelist Catholic
Church on Cahaba Valley Road and you can go you
can just go online at Covenant Rescue dot org and
to do backslash dinner. So Covenant Rescue dot org Backslash
Dinner and you can get those few tickets that remain.

(01:30:15):
So you were talking about, you know when when you're
you're doing work in the United States of America, Uh,
that this is not like being in other places around
the world because you've got to operate and we want
you to for the benefit of society. Uh, you've got
to operate inside the constitution, right, So talk about that
a little bit.

Speaker 13 (01:30:36):
Yeah, So to to bring us literally, I'm texting on
signal with a buddy right now who's on a contract
in Guys and work in the Israelis.

Speaker 8 (01:30:41):
He's like a bro.

Speaker 13 (01:30:43):
We're taking snap either're getting shot at, as he's texted
me right now. He said, we're getting shot at from
pretty good distance. I need to start rumming up some
nightfour scopes for me, a couple laser range finders to
to get over here to us so we can build
some sniper guns out because they're just running in fours.

Speaker 8 (01:30:58):
So when you're overseas in a.

Speaker 13 (01:30:59):
War zone or in anything where it's I mean, yeah,
Israel is a first world country, but what they're dealing
with in Gaza is different. Right, So literally that's happening
as we're talking right now, he's texting me, and overseas
is different because you're getting shot at, you're shooting back.
You got people that you know, you you got places
in Sub Saharan Africa where it's war torn. Uh, you

(01:31:22):
don't have to prosecute anybody. A lot of times, a
lot of times, you know, you just smoke those dudes, right,
they're going in there. They're they're raiding villages, the child
soldiers stuff all stuff. Back in early two thousands, I
got some buddies that were actually child soldiers in his
army that are out now. They got saved Christ change
their unbelievable testimonies and they're working in the South Sudanese
Army and we roll out with them. Well, you're you're

(01:31:44):
helping them set up counter ambush stuff. And it's not
to uh, it's not to arrest anybody right here in
the US. We have to make a successful arrest. But
once we make an arrest, that's okay, that's easy. Anybody
can snatch a guy.

Speaker 3 (01:31:57):
We can.

Speaker 13 (01:31:57):
We can kidnap anybody we want, right we can show
up and snatch them. That's the easy part. The hard
part is getting a successful prosecution. And oftentimes how you
make that arrest is what gets you to successful prosecution.
And that's what those statistics are. Remember what I said earlier,
the fifty on the one to fifty, it's not until arrest,
it's until successful prosecution. And you have a lot of

(01:32:20):
null pross cases. You have a lot of you know,
cases that get thrown out because the front en work
wasn't done correctly. And it's not the red tape of
law enforcement or anything like that people will talking about.
It is the US Constitution. It's the Bill of Rights.
It's really the fourth, fifth, and the sixth Amendment right
that you're dealing with primarily with these types of cases.
So that's what protects us and it needs to stay

(01:32:40):
in place. You know, that's because that is our country,
that's what God has given us to govern who we
are right right, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:32:46):
But if you really want these guys or ladies off
the streets and in custody, you're saying you have to
make sure every point is hit to it right right
and done it correctly.

Speaker 8 (01:32:55):
That's correct. And so now here's one aspect of it.

Speaker 13 (01:32:57):
If you go if you talk with any of the
NGO we were talking us talking about miss Carolyn at
the well House, not to just on the break or whatever.
And if you look at what they do or traffing
hope they're out of Church of the Highlands and a
lot of great ladies over there, Pam Rasbur or those
lays we.

Speaker 8 (01:33:12):
Work with, all of them.

Speaker 13 (01:33:14):
They are advocate advocate or their advocates. Their advocacy centric, right,
they're victim centric. They focus on the victim once they're rescued.
Law enforcement strictly has to focus on criminal activity. So
these folks over here in this NGO, they have to
focus on the victim. These guys over here in law
enforcement have to focus on criminal activity. And if they

(01:33:35):
don't have a criminal nexus, they can't do much with it.
If they don't have a victim nexus, they can't do
much with it. What we've done is because we are
most of our guys are sworn law enforcement somewhere in
some capacity, we've been able.

Speaker 8 (01:33:45):
To be a little bit of a glue to where
we're an NGO.

Speaker 13 (01:33:48):
We can help on the victim side, but we can
also help the law enforcement on that side and have
a criminal nexus. The reason that's important is because let's
say we roll a human traffick and ring around here
and we find somebody actually selling girls, right, very rare,
but let's say we do that. You got to have
somebody to testify in the case, because again, our constitution
allows the accused to stand before the accuser. That's an

(01:34:12):
important piece of the US Constitution. And a lot of
these women, especially if they've been traffick for which or
their life. I mean when you talk, I mean they
have suffered a lot. A lot of these young men.
Do you think they want to sit in front of
the guy who did X, Y and Z to them,
or who bought them or who was selling them and
testify because they're scared anyway. They don't trust this individual.
You think they're going to trust the system. I wouldn't

(01:34:33):
trust the system. It's absolutely terrible. They're like, you're not
going to protect me, You're not going to do what
needs to be done. They're more afraid of the perpetrator.
So what we've done with these decoy based operations is
we've removed the victim out of it. So when these
individuals show up, we're arresting them based on a decoy.
They believe they're showing up for a thirteen year old girl,

(01:34:55):
let's say, and we're able to arrest them, and now
it's just a cop being or maybe I get subpoena
and I go sit on TAM.

Speaker 2 (01:35:01):
Yeah, you take that element out.

Speaker 13 (01:35:03):
We take that element out because that helps the victim.
But we also find victims in that process of because
we find the victims that this individual.

Speaker 8 (01:35:11):
Is attached to.

Speaker 13 (01:35:12):
And like I said earlier in the show, it holds true,
we find victims attached to all of these individuals. The
last thing with it is we're also not looking to
roll the nineteen year old dude who's made nun decisions
showing up for this girl who looks kind of hot
or whatever and he's drunk.

Speaker 8 (01:35:25):
Slap him on the wrist.

Speaker 13 (01:35:27):
But we're looking for the forty to fifty year old
coach teacher. That is what we're really going behind because
that is the predator.

Speaker 2 (01:35:34):
Yeah, wow, yeah, we come back. I do want to
ask you one more thing, you can you say one
more Yeah? Yeah, I want to ask you. I got
two more things I want to ask you, and the
audience he's asking this too, So I want you do
it to address that. Covenant Rescue dot Org if you'd
like to come along and help this incredible organization.

Speaker 1 (01:35:51):
This is The Rick Burgess Show, God fearing and America
loving the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 2 (01:36:09):
Thanks for taking time to be with us today, Speedy
after here at Greg All weekend stories still to come.
We've gone through a couple of them. We've got more
of those coming up, and more headlines today. We've run
through a lot of it. If you missed any of
the show, don't forget the daily archive on the on
the podcast channel or on the YouTube channel. You can

(01:36:29):
go back and catch any part that you missed on
your own time. So we're talking to Jared Hudson Covenant
Rescue dot Org. A couple of individual seats may be
still available for the Night of Hope and Freedom. It's
a benefit dinner in Birmingham, Alabama coming up on Friday,
if you would still like to maybe go and hear

(01:36:49):
more at Covenant Rescue dot org slash dinner at Covenant
Rescue dot org slash dinner, So joeb before before you
have to go, people are wanting to know. I know
you're working state side mainly. Have you the the unsecured border?
Have you seen it playing a negative role in an increase.

Speaker 3 (01:37:13):
In some of this?

Speaker 8 (01:37:13):
Oh yeah, definitely.

Speaker 13 (01:37:14):
I mean you got to think, you know when you're
using so without going too much into it, at the border,
what they were doing biometrics, I think everybody's familiar with that.
We used them over the seas. Overseas all the time.
You pull blood, iris, scan all that stuff. They're doing
biometric stuff at the border for anybody that appeared to
be over seventeen if I remember right. So, with that
being said, if they appear to be over seventeen, they

(01:37:36):
would do all that stuff and they would put them
in the system and they could show up and say,
now this is during the Biden administrations.

Speaker 8 (01:37:41):
Back for the election. They would show up and.

Speaker 13 (01:37:43):
Say, hey, I want to go to Birmingham, Alabama and
be written on a piece of paper for that matter.
Didn't have me just a notebook, paper, what anything special
they said. They would go, okay, you're gonna get let in.
This is when your case is. Are pushing cases, you know,
like eighteen months out, you know, two years out. So
now they go to Birmingham, Alabama for their case to
be adjudicated. But there's no way to track with them.

(01:38:04):
It just had to be in court on this certain
date for their you know, citizenship adjudication. However that works, right,
I think adjudicated would be the correct word. So they
would come in in that capacity, but they would come
across with kids, so it looks like a family, and
that's where we have a lot of terrorist covers. So
now you've been you have kids out of these countries
that have been sold, oftentimes by their parents. When I

(01:38:26):
was working in Haiti, a lot what we'd see is
parents would pay people to take their kids because they're like,
the whatever life they're going to have is better than
the life see, and so that's the first that's where
the kids are taking. Now you have these individuals cartels
muling people across, using kids to come across. You saw
that happening with the Afghanistan pull out.

Speaker 2 (01:38:46):
You know, I worked on that a lot.

Speaker 13 (01:38:47):
We got about twenty one hundred folks out of Afghanistan.
All that being said, they were a lot of trafficking
of children. So now they'll use those children get across
the border. But those children don't have biometrics, those children
not track. So that's where that eighty three thousand I
think it comes from. Yeah, I believe it's much more
than that from what I've seen. Sure, but there's not
any real way of knowing. Because this guy comes across

(01:39:08):
with a lady and three kids, they get across, those
kids go wherever, this guy goes wherever, and that is
where that problem has increased. Okay, okay, And we've arrested
people that have talked to us about that, and we've
sure you dealt with it on the federal side.

Speaker 2 (01:39:22):
So I mean, I know, it's like I said earlier,
it's logic and just common sense that if you don't
secure your border and you don't vet people coming in,
there's all kinds of issues, including this, which seems to
be so logical and easy to understand.

Speaker 13 (01:39:38):
But this way, do you think your name's on the list.
Anybody have been in the Capitol or the White House.
It's a pretty secure place you can just walk in, right,
you know. So, I mean they're doing that up there.
Why are we not doing this with our border with.

Speaker 2 (01:39:50):
Your Yeah, I'm going to ask one more thing. But
now a side note from the text. Did you did
my sister? Was she your teacher in high school? Did
you go to Mortimer Jordan?

Speaker 8 (01:39:58):
I went to Morta Ma Gjordian.

Speaker 13 (01:39:59):
Yeah, Angie Brandham brand miss Brandham. So I don't think
she was my teacher, but she was a teacher at
school when I was there.

Speaker 2 (01:40:07):
Yes, somebody was like, I think your sister was one
of his teachers.

Speaker 13 (01:40:10):
You know, she wasn't my teacher, but she might have
been for one of my brothers. I'm the oldest of
two brothers and I got a sister, so.

Speaker 8 (01:40:15):
She might have been a teacher.

Speaker 2 (01:40:15):
Okay, okay, all right, So let's let's talk about because
we've talked about this on the show a lot, and
you and I had a conversation about this, and I
think it's important for you to share. Obviously, what you're
dealing with can be quite traumatic, and it's difficult things
that you see and hear, and I think we're getting
in a time where people just don't have the simplest

(01:40:37):
coping skills anymore. Nobody can handle anything. And I was
asking you about the emotional side of it, and I
thought what you said. Now, I know you're special Forces trained,
I mean your Navy seal. I got that, But I
still think that this still applies to anyone on dealing
not letting your emotions, because we're in a time now

(01:40:59):
where everybody's let their emotions just run them while the
Bible tells us not to follow our heart because it's
the seats above all things. And you were talking about
and I think you know, we were sharing sometimes people
if nowadays, if you don't let your emotionals, your emotions
control you, you're scene is being hardened, uncaring, and that's

(01:41:21):
not the case. It's actually wise to not let your
emotions rule you. That doesn't mean you don't care, it
doesn't mean you don't grieve. You just have to compartmentalize
and say, I will grieve and I will deal with
it at the appropriate time, but it can't come into
the job.

Speaker 8 (01:41:36):
Dude, one hundred percent. And you know it's funny.

Speaker 13 (01:41:39):
It's funny you're saying that my wife just takes me
our last operation, half of the people arrested out of
eleven I think were illegal.

Speaker 2 (01:41:45):
Just say, I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:41:45):
Okay, there you go, there you go.

Speaker 13 (01:41:47):
So but what you're saying about this, you're exactly right now.
I got three girls and watch everything is emotional in
my house.

Speaker 2 (01:41:53):
Can you imagine? Can you imagine a male that's going
to walk into his house to try to date any
of his daughters? How old are the daughters now?

Speaker 8 (01:42:00):
Nine, six and three? Got to that age?

Speaker 2 (01:42:02):
There's a future. I feel so sorry if there's guys
in the future, you have no hope, all right, But anyway, you.

Speaker 13 (01:42:07):
Know, but everything is emotional, and you know you're gonna
get me on a soapbox. I promise I won't get
on a soapbox here because I get really fired up
and cares how how sad you are. No one cares
what you've been through. If Jesus Christ let him let
his emotions drive him, he would not have went to
the cross because he said, Father, let this cup pass

(01:42:28):
from me.

Speaker 8 (01:42:29):
But what did he say?

Speaker 2 (01:42:30):
Not my will, but your will be done. He did
the job.

Speaker 13 (01:42:34):
And you know, for men, especially men, don't talk about
your emotions. Deal with it outside, go to work. Be
a flipping man, show up, make sure people are not
targeting your kids. So you got the guy that uh,
one of the most notorious expertyers all the time. I've
talked about this a lot, long story short, he said,
the one thing I looked at. He targeted all kinds
of kids, but he said, the one thing.

Speaker 8 (01:42:54):
I looked at was the father. If the father was
a threat, I would not go after it.

Speaker 2 (01:42:58):
Not the mother.

Speaker 8 (01:42:59):
This this stupid mam a bear crap. That's great if
you're a single mom. But the dad.

Speaker 13 (01:43:04):
He would actually go to single mothers and build rapport
with them and then watch the kids. And he said
that's where he would groom kids. The best is when
he built rapport with the mother. If you're a dad,
be a flipping threat. And that doesn't mean you've got
to be a UFC fighter and Navy. So you you
just got to be You can't be on this all
the time. You can't be dealing with sports all the time,
or going and hunting all the wing, or just sitting
in front of the TV. Be involved in your kids' lives.

(01:43:26):
That's what God's called you do. That's your most important thing.
And your job is to die for that family physically die.
I would gladly physically die for any of my kids
or my wife. Your job's do that, but not just
physically die. Die in what I'm doing every single day.
That's the most important thing is you don't get me
on soapbox because there's too many guys that will say,
how do you do this?

Speaker 8 (01:43:44):
Emotionally? I can't say the P word on the air.

Speaker 13 (01:43:47):
But because I'm not a wimp, right, that's what you
Because Jesus Christ dealt with a whole lot more than
I could.

Speaker 8 (01:43:54):
So that really gets me fired up. So with this stuff, yes,
you compartmentalize.

Speaker 13 (01:43:57):
Because if I get emotional, now I'm getting a little
but emotional right, angry, right, But if i'm if I am,
if I'm afraid, I make a mistake. If I'm angry,
I make a mistake Proverbs nineteen two. If I have
zeal without knowledge, I make a mistake. If I'm overly zealous.
So emotions create mistakes and everything we do, and that's

(01:44:21):
important for us to understand, at least as men, and
definitely for what we do in the work. In the
work that we're doing, you know, catching people who are
buying and selling children for sex.

Speaker 2 (01:44:30):
Yeah, I hope you heard that. These people and we
knew this with people who break in thieves, they said,
we've seen this many times where they said, we don't
target homes. We think the people are armed and can
defend themselves. We target homes we think that we could
easily break in and steal whatever's there without a threat
to ourselves. And you're saying that these child predators are

(01:44:52):
the same way. If they don't see a man involved
in the home that's a threat, they consider that to
be a a better opportunity.

Speaker 13 (01:45:01):
Well, yeah, I mean, I mean you see the you
see lines and Hyaenas and all that doing it with
zebras overseas. I mean, it's the same thing here. They
go after the week or one. So my brother in
law just sent me a text said, men, you're such
an emotionally fit man.

Speaker 2 (01:45:12):
So it said your point. But you and I were
talking about it. What's happening in our society is people
see men like you and they say that you're uncaring,
and that's not true.

Speaker 8 (01:45:23):
That's not at all. I got three little girls.

Speaker 2 (01:45:26):
Have to be careing and being able to cope and
being able to handle difficult situations the right way. And
compartmentalized doesn't mean you're heartless. It means you're going to
get the job done and not let Like you said,
fear and emotions render you completely inept and unable to
help anybody. That's right, that's right, you know. And yeah

(01:45:47):
we grieve, we grieve at the right time, that's right,
but not in the middle. It doesn't impact the job.
He doesn't get the job done.

Speaker 13 (01:45:54):
And your job is to be a threat for your
family first. Your family first, your community, set, your city third,
your county, fourth, your state, fifth, your nation six, and
then the world.

Speaker 8 (01:46:04):
That's the only way you changed anything you started.

Speaker 13 (01:46:05):
If you can't deal with your family, a guy can't
even be a deacon at a church if his family
isn't appropriate under That's what scripture says. So you've got
to make sure that you're not emotionally unfit and can't
first deal with your family and then go beyond it.

Speaker 6 (01:46:18):
And I think our society's becoming emotionally under And I
could say this if you're dealing with something you know,
Jared's not saying, don't don't deal with your emotions. Have
a tight knit group of guys that you can talk
about things with. Yeah, yah, holds you accountable. But you're saying,
don't let it affect don't let it affect.

Speaker 13 (01:46:35):
Your job, don't get out in wine every day to
everybody around you. Don't want it affect your wife and
your kids. Right, this is uh, that's not what it's about.
Jesus didn't do that to us, right, you know, And
that's kind of that. That's the standard, right, that's that's
the standard we should seek.

Speaker 2 (01:46:50):
So yeah, it's it's the thing that it's the famous
funny story, but it's true. When my dad would teach me,
you got to learn sometimes to say I can't.

Speaker 4 (01:46:57):
Worry about that.

Speaker 2 (01:46:58):
That's right. I'll get back to that later, but right now,
I can't worry about that. I gotta get the job now.
I'm tired of people who actually have good coping skills
being deemed weird. All right, So we'll be back. Jared Hudson,

How did the road trip go?

Speaker 7 (01:49:31):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:49:32):
It went okay?

Speaker 6 (01:49:33):
I mean, beautiful weather, absolutely, George, So you couldn't beat that, No, No,
I mean besides the long trip, which I thought about,
you know a lot so as I pass, you know
such trucks that probably run it every day. But when
you don't do that, you know, seven and a half
eight hour trips a lot. I thought Terry did really well.
She didn't have to stop using bathroom ten times. Okay,

(01:49:53):
we stopped once going down and once coming back. She
was a war she she got in there, she said,
let's go. Now you have to kind of do some
pre you know, pulling back on drinking a bunch of
water and coffee and all that and all that, but
we had to make really good time going down because
we were so tight on getting there.

Speaker 2 (01:50:11):
By came to him and we get a text that
you made it.

Speaker 6 (01:50:13):
We made it about with about forty minutes to spare.
But something happened to me that happened to you. And
I'm not going to mention his name because he didn't
even know he did it, But if I could scream
upa lupa when he was talking to him. He came
up to me at the game another parent he loves
the show and said he had left earlier that day.

(01:50:35):
They drove down the same day and he heard the
Pillows segment about a little disagreement with the pillows getting
ready for bed the night.

Speaker 2 (01:50:44):
Before my wife.

Speaker 6 (01:50:45):
You had survived it. Yeah, and I was demanding here
talking about the pillows.

Speaker 2 (01:50:49):
You were big and got bold. You trying to be
Jared Hudgson.

Speaker 3 (01:50:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:50:52):
Yeah, Well you know you think you're bad, then you
meet people like Jared. Yeah, I'm not that bad. I've
never seen that guy, never seen Adler want to like
in the show and go wherever that was guy guy
was going out with him.

Speaker 4 (01:51:05):
Said what are you doing? Now? Where are you going? Now?

Speaker 2 (01:51:08):
You got room in your car, So anyway, friend, he
walks up to me, Okay, it's we got there. We
finally set down.

Speaker 6 (01:51:16):
It's like we're like, man, what a trip, and you know,
everybody's kind of saying hate each other who hadn't seen
each other in a long time, and all the parents
from the returning players, and he's a parent of one
of the new players, and he comes up and he's like, hey, man, how.

Speaker 2 (01:51:29):
Was a trip? You know, bah blah.

Speaker 6 (01:51:31):
But I tell you that pillows segment that was that
couldn't be anything more true than that.

Speaker 2 (01:51:36):
I looked at my wife and I was like, that's
right then, and Terry was.

Speaker 6 (01:51:39):
I mean, she's sitting right beside me, and I'm like
and I was trying to talk to I was trying
to talk to him with my eyes, you know, like
you're killing.

Speaker 2 (01:51:49):
I'll tell you what, I won't admit when they make
a mistake, do they you know, he's just he is
handing it all and I'm like, oh no. And then
she she got busy.

Speaker 6 (01:52:00):
Uh somebody texted her and she never said anything like
what was he talking about? Because I tried to overpower it. Again,
I thought I had overpowered him.

Speaker 2 (01:52:09):
I thought. I was like, I tell you what, how
was y'all trimp?

Speaker 3 (01:52:12):
You know?

Speaker 6 (01:52:12):
I tried to where he was almost like it. I
could smother his conversation, you know. And uh, And so
we get into about the fourth inning and and and
here he.

Speaker 9 (01:52:23):
Comes back again.

Speaker 2 (01:52:24):
He didn't do it double And look, I love talking
to him. So it's not right. He's a bad conversation.
It's just what he was talking. He's killing me. And
you know, I was thinking some more about that pillow.

Speaker 8 (01:52:33):
So he didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:52:34):
He didn't bring it up again. And here he goes again, guys,
where's the code? And and it continues on and and
and he told it was a small one. She got
the big She just I'm telling you. And he just
kept on.

Speaker 6 (01:52:48):
And so this time he steps away and he's hearing
this for the first time. He's like, oh no, I
didn't know.

Speaker 3 (01:52:52):
He did.

Speaker 2 (01:52:53):
He didn't know, but he was just an honest study.
I had to walk him to the parking lot, so you're, well,
I couldn't. He was just an awkward moment. We're right
there behind home plate and this guy's.

Speaker 5 (01:53:02):
Wife anywhere around this guy I think I married.

Speaker 2 (01:53:05):
Well, yeah, she's a couple of rows.

Speaker 4 (01:53:07):
Down.

Speaker 2 (01:53:07):
I don't think he could hear him. Her she couldn't
hear him. I don't think.

Speaker 4 (01:53:10):
See that's unfair.

Speaker 6 (01:53:11):
So I so I look at Terry. He steps away
for the last time. I look at Terry. I said,
did you hear the show today?

Speaker 4 (01:53:17):
No?

Speaker 6 (01:53:18):
I no, I was getting busy. We had too much
to do and everything. Why this is about a pillow?

Speaker 13 (01:53:23):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:53:23):
Boy?

Speaker 2 (01:53:23):
And I went on just you know, when we got
him confused and everything, and then I didn't know which
which one would get together.

Speaker 9 (01:53:31):
And I wasn't sure.

Speaker 2 (01:53:32):
I just talked about how I kind of missed that up.
But I tell you, do you think do you needy
things in the concession stand?

Speaker 4 (01:53:38):
And you want to go back?

Speaker 2 (01:53:39):
Well, what do you mean the pillows? No, don't't worry
about you didn't I mean, you didn't even bring one.
I was just talking about the night before when it
was just kind of fun. And then I just tried
to overpower her too, I said, you want to water?

Speaker 4 (01:53:53):
Did your did your laugh sound as nervous?

Speaker 7 (01:53:57):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (01:53:57):
Then as it did just now, because that's not well,
I can hear it in your voice.

Speaker 2 (01:54:01):
Do you remember during Vicky quest the code word John Deere?

Speaker 3 (01:54:06):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:54:06):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:54:07):
We need a code word now.

Speaker 6 (01:54:08):
But amongst ads and I have started that with a
couple of guys, they don't understand that.

Speaker 2 (01:54:14):
They don't.

Speaker 4 (01:54:15):
They don't.

Speaker 6 (01:54:15):
I just you know, or something to where they go,
oh hush, yeah, but put me a little bit of
a a little two pitch handle. But by the third
pitch if we had moved on, you know, I'm talking
about watching the game.

Speaker 5 (01:54:27):
That's about how long we need a bro code signal?

Speaker 3 (01:54:31):
We do?

Speaker 4 (01:54:31):
Just do we just cough to the bro code?

Speaker 2 (01:54:33):
Yeah, like Rick just did? Is that?

Speaker 4 (01:54:35):
I guess?

Speaker 6 (01:54:36):
I guess me looking at you like I'm trying to
shoot with you with lasers in my eyes.

Speaker 2 (01:54:42):
That got probably went to his wife said I think
he used to it was a blood pressure and checked
his eyes are bulging speed. He must need glasses or something,
right right?

Speaker 7 (01:54:49):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:54:50):
Why did he say pillows?

Speaker 3 (01:54:51):
What?

Speaker 2 (01:54:51):
What was so funny?

Speaker 6 (01:54:53):
And you know, and so then I tell her. She's like,
so that was that funny? And I was like, no,
it's just the interaction between husband and life, you know.
I mean, you're great, you see, that's that's you know.

Speaker 2 (01:55:02):
When that guy did that to me at church, I
just she was like, I don't You're not telling me
what what he said that that he meant by that,
and I'm like, I don't rememb I tried to push
out so much information and be so confusing that she
just didn't have the energy to follow up with questions.
That's all you can do. That's all you can do,
you know.

Speaker 4 (01:55:22):
Yeah, my wife ever asked those back? Well, I had
the horse head on and then she loses interest.

Speaker 2 (01:55:27):
Yeah, yeah she doesn't.

Speaker 5 (01:55:28):
She loses respect, but she also loses interest.

Speaker 2 (01:55:31):
Right, that's phone calls are coming on eight eight eight
six Big Vox. What'schappen with you? To start the album?

Speaker 1 (01:55:37):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, Big Fox Entertainment, Please
Sam Rick Butcher's Show.

Speaker 9 (01:55:50):
With Speedy Red Butchers, Edie and Rick bch So here
we go, a.

Speaker 2 (01:56:00):
Brand new hour starting now. We'll start with phone calls.
Haven't chatted with you yet this week eight eight eight
the number six Big Vox and we'll chat with you
Speedy taking phone calls now. Adler is here, Greg is out,
should be back tomorrow. So a couple of things. If
you want to join us, all ten lines are available now.

(01:56:24):
So a couple of things. People were asking on the
text option to try to update you we forgot to
ask Jared Hudson, the Navy Seal, about their ability to
go to sleep at a moment's notice because they have
to sleep. And I know, are you texting him speedy?

Speaker 6 (01:56:46):
Yes, I am, And I've asked him if he has
that tech, you know, can he do because not everybody
can do it, but you elevate your feet, setting alarm
for eight minutes, and then can he do it?

Speaker 2 (01:56:57):
Can can he do it? Which I'm sure he can
because it looked like he could do anything else. Yes,
he could. But I kind of felt, I don't know,
it was it was too serious. Everything was going so
well and we had such you know, bro conversations in
the break. I thought me asking that would be a
little off off touch there of what the conversation was
off base there. They also people are saying the code

(01:57:20):
word for the guys in baseball, the baseball Dad's not
to ask you things they're gonna get you in trouble
with your wife. How about the code curveball? Hey, well, curveball,
that's not bad, that's I mean, that could work, yeah,
but some people use that to use the bathroom. So
what about dirtball? No, No, not that I think that's

(01:57:42):
even worse. Wild pitch? What about wild pitch?

Speaker 4 (01:57:46):
Yeah, they might think you're saying something else. What about uh,
you're killing me smalls.

Speaker 2 (01:57:52):
That's not bad, you know, of course, then your wife,
why is he killing you?

Speaker 9 (01:57:56):
Watch?

Speaker 2 (01:57:56):
What about? What about your screaming? Bad call? And everybody
goes what and you turn around, Oh yeah, I thought
it was.

Speaker 4 (01:58:01):
Oh yeah, that's good.

Speaker 2 (01:58:03):
Okay, Yeah, I'm wondering some of some of the dads.
We have some really secretive code words that I don't
want to broadcast because then that gives it. That gives
that away.

Speaker 4 (01:58:13):
But change up.

Speaker 2 (01:58:15):
That's not a bad one. Hey, that's that's not maybe
because you want him to change the conversation. Change up.
Oh now, I think I'm going with that. That's a
good one, right there, that's good. I like change up. Also,
people asking did you do anything else in Saint Augustine, Well, yeah,
it was.

Speaker 6 (01:58:28):
It was kind of tough to do anything because, you know,
we got in right right at game time on Friday.
It was a three game series and then a doubleheader
on Saturday, so you get in so late for Friday's game.
You don't really have time to do anything but get
to the game and then postgame it's so late, everything's closed.
And then the next day we just wanted to sleep
in with no alarm and not have to get up early.

(01:58:50):
And it just takes a lot to go downtown to
Saint Augustine. Now it's absolutely gorgeous and uh uh, Flagler
College is beautiful. It's gorgeous, but like things like the
Fountain of Youth, like I wanted to get out and
take me a sip.

Speaker 2 (01:59:04):
See if you know, well, you should have struck your
head on it. Well, I mean it's just so you
wouldn't have the horse.

Speaker 6 (01:59:08):
Well by the time we got in the car, and
then we got downtown, and then you try to find
a parking spot, and then you go into a couple
of shops, you know, then you start looking at the clock,
going we got to leave to get to the game.
And then the game, the double header's so late, it ends,
you know, eight or nine o'clock at night, and you
wake up the next morning you leave. So really the
trip wasn't built for a lot of browsing and you know,

(01:59:32):
sight seeing. It was more in and out, like we
got it, Let's go find a place to eat, let's
get to the game, let's go home, that kind of thing.
But I really wanted to stop at the Fountain of Youth,
but the line was long, and so we got we
got into a couple of little shops.

Speaker 2 (01:59:46):
I wouldn't have thought that might've been a good time
of year. I guess there are people are always there,
aren't they. Yeah, and too, you wanted to go into
a couple of shops. I'm like, let's say we buy that.
How do we get at home?

Speaker 3 (01:59:55):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:59:55):
What are you doing while? Are we in an antique shop?

Speaker 4 (01:59:58):
You can if at home? You could always mail at home.

Speaker 2 (02:00:00):
Yeah, I guess that idea.

Speaker 4 (02:00:01):
Yeah, and ever had that happen on the trip?

Speaker 2 (02:00:03):
That's a that's a number eight? Didn't.

Speaker 6 (02:00:05):
Yeah, But you know, Terry, on the way down, we
had to do a bunch of research on Saint Augustine.
So she was a walking Saint Augustine, you know, I
guess Encyclopedia. She knew everything about it. She knew about
the campus, and it was who was named after and
it was a resort way back when that turned into
a college.

Speaker 2 (02:00:24):
But it's it's really pretty. I mean, it is high.
It wouldn't be hard to recruit at that college. Should
I ask? How the series went.

Speaker 6 (02:00:32):
Yeah, they took two or three from us, you know,
on the baseball side, I mean that first weekend, you know,
it's always a little weird, just because it's the start
of a year.

Speaker 2 (02:00:41):
Everybody's kind of nervous.

Speaker 6 (02:00:42):
And but you know, there were good games, but I
think I think the last one kind of got away
from us.

Speaker 2 (02:00:49):
But you know, it was great. It was great to
be there. Wait a minute, the one that you're trying
to figure out, Okay, this is our last day and
this game is getting away from us. And yeah, now
you that moves you onto thinking about the trip home. Yeah,
when you'd like to be more concentrated on the game.

Speaker 4 (02:01:02):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 3 (02:01:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:01:03):
And it's and it was. It was the temperature was
in the in the afternoon, it's t shirts.

Speaker 3 (02:01:08):
You know.

Speaker 6 (02:01:09):
Heck, you could go short nice, but as soon as
that sun starts going down, little chick, here come the
hoodies and the sweatpants. And you almost had to like
pack for the second game. And everybody would go to
the car, run to the bathroom and change clothes and
become and come out like they you know, it was
winter weather because it gets cold quick down there.

Speaker 2 (02:01:26):
Yeah, I see, you're you know had. You've been very
negative of the car Heart uh sweatshirt and we had
to get you to come down to size. Are you
happy with yours?

Speaker 1 (02:01:35):
Now?

Speaker 2 (02:01:35):
I don't know that I was negative. It just you know,
car Heart, I didn't realize about size.

Speaker 6 (02:01:40):
It runs big and and so uh. While we were
gone for the weekend, we came back and you know,
Terry didn't remember ordering anything, but we had about five
boxes sitting at the door. Sure, what could you possibly
be ordering? And but one of them, the biggest one,
was a bunch of swag from the Rick Burgess show.

Speaker 2 (02:01:58):
Yeah, well we happen to get by and the swag
and you thought your car Heart that I worked hard
to get for you to start the show. The show one.
Yeah you didn't like the size.

Speaker 6 (02:02:07):
Yeah, well it's a size down so if you wear
extra large or larger than a fit. So so you
were nice enough to get me a large and that's
what I have on today.

Speaker 2 (02:02:15):
I was excited to wear it. Adler, did you get
this stuff I put in there for you today?

Speaker 4 (02:02:18):
Got it? Docked it? Thank you so much?

Speaker 2 (02:02:20):
Yeah, the and and of course we all got the hoodie.
There's a Camo hoodie. Then there's just a gray hoodie,
you know, with the logos on it, and of course
about the time we all get outfitted. Now it's warming
up where we are. Yeah, yeah, don't don't let this
fool you though. I know, I know, I know it's
I know we're not out of the woods, but don't
get fulled.

Speaker 4 (02:02:40):
It's spring.

Speaker 2 (02:02:40):
Yeah, but it's going to be in the in the
mid seventies where we are this week.

Speaker 6 (02:02:44):
Oh yeah, we're not gonna We'll take it. For some reason,
and I don't know why, but where JC plays at UAH,
which is in Huntsville, Alabama, it's always ten degrees cooler
there the wind. I don't know what's going on there,
but it's just known. And so if it's if it's fifty,
you know, it's going to be dressed to be forty

bring those out, don't you worry about it.

Speaker 3 (02:03:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:03:07):
I took mom, you know, because the minute that we
started the show, my mom was like, well, uh, did
I understand that you you got some shirts and stuff
for everybody? And I was like, well, yeah, I want
to be sure the staff, you know, had some stuff
to start. Oh okay, well, you know, i'll get something later.

I really enjoyed hearing him talk. How quick you think, hey,
how quick you think I'm gonna add him to team man?

Speaker 4 (02:09:21):
Church Man.

Speaker 14 (02:09:23):
I'm telling you he was good. He shouldn't have sugarcoated
everything so bad.

Speaker 2 (02:09:27):
But I mean, what a breath of fresh air.

Speaker 9 (02:09:32):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (02:09:33):

Speaker 2 (02:09:36):
Thank you. I appreciate you calling. Uh let's continue, Jacob
out of Florence. I'm seeing the text right now. Any
update on w L A Y and Florence And the
answer is no, I don't have an update, but I'll
try to get you one. Jacob, go ahead.

Speaker 4 (02:09:50):
Mayd.

Speaker 14 (02:09:54):
Hey Rick, real quick question for you. I am thinking
about transferring to the Strength to Stand Institute down in Birmingham.
I was just wondering, would you ever go back to
Strength to Stand?

Speaker 2 (02:10:08):
What do you mean, like the institute?

Speaker 14 (02:10:12):
Yeah, no, go to the conference?

Speaker 2 (02:10:15):
Uh yeah sure if I felt like that's what the Lord,
If the Lord was leading me. You know, there was
a time, for obvious reasons that it was difficult to
go back because you know, it just brought back so
many hard memories of the fact that that's where I
was when my youngest son, you know, went to heaven.
And Scott was very sensitive to that, and we prayed

(02:10:36):
about it and we said, you know, when the time
is right, and you know, it would be something that
you know, Sherry felt good about and you felt good about,
and it wouldn't be you know, too traumatic. And so
I did go back. I can't remember when it was
Adler and I went together.

Speaker 4 (02:10:52):
We did a is eight years ago, in twenty sixteen.

Speaker 2 (02:10:54):
Yeah, I went back in twenty sixteen, but I haven't
been back since. And some of it is you know,
in Scott and I work on together with the Man
Church too. He does speaking for us. I kind of
think that, you know, God has so solidified me in
calling me to men's ministry and Shary and I to
marriage and of course share you to women that really

(02:11:16):
I don't do much stuff involving youth, not because it's
not important. I think it's incredibly important. But that's why
I think the Man Church is an asset to youth pastors,
because if you send these youth home to a house
that's run by some idiot, he just gonna mess up
everything you've been working on. So we Yeah, we concentrate
on the man. So if Scott wanted me to come

(02:11:39):
back and I felt like that's what the Lord was
telling me to do, absolutely I would.

Speaker 3 (02:11:43):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:11:43):
But and I did go back in twenty sixteen though,
So that may answer your question too. And if you're
coming to the institute, man, that is an incredible asset
to the church what they're doing at the Strength to
Stand Institute. So if you're here, come by and say hello,
I'd love to have you here. Uh, let's continue. Let's
go to Jason out of Sweet Home, Alabama. Jason, go ahead,

(02:12:05):
good morning.

Speaker 14 (02:12:06):
Rick, how are you.

Speaker 2 (02:12:07):
We're good.

Speaker 14 (02:12:09):
I've got a question for you. When are we going
to get Gerald Kates in on Greg's Christmas Live.

Speaker 2 (02:12:15):
That's a great point, you know, somebody was asking we've
got to do that. You know what we are to

Jason for being an asset. Oh we gotta do that, okay,
all right, So I'll text him once Greg gets back yeah, okay,
all our people were saying eight years ago, since it's
twenty five, would have been twenty seventeen, so I guess
I went in twenty two.

Speaker 5 (02:13:54):
It was it was January and twenty January twenty sixteen, so.

Speaker 4 (02:13:58):
Nine years ago is when I published the clip.

Speaker 2 (02:14:00):
Yeah, so this this is we just got there January
twenty twenty five, So I guess it was nine years ago.

Speaker 4 (02:14:05):
If you type in strength to stand Rick Burgess, you
will see that video. It is around seven minutes long.

Speaker 5 (02:14:14):
And yeah, it was January sixteenth, twenty sixteen is when
you and I.

Speaker 2 (02:14:20):
Yeah, I remember taking that trip. We come back. Well,
look at the Burgess boys go hunting over the weekend.
I got lectured by Gary.

Speaker 1 (02:14:28):
This is the Rick Burgess show. Sure he played a
little ball, Rick Burgess.

Speaker 2 (02:14:49):
Ye know, Magan eight haight hurt my foot. I would
have probably NFL.

Speaker 4 (02:14:54):
All right, So.

Speaker 2 (02:14:57):
We have a lot to cover from the weekend that
we still have a to speedy. I understand the question
we forgot to ask the Navy seal Jared Hudson. You've
asked him, I have.

Speaker 4 (02:15:09):
I have.

Speaker 2 (02:15:09):
I asked him. What was a tough ask?

Speaker 6 (02:15:13):
And kind of use my wife a little bit in
the question, but just hey, silly question here, But can
you fall asleep within eight minutes?

Speaker 2 (02:15:22):
Because people were asked saying they had that skill.

Speaker 6 (02:15:24):
Yes, yeah, they that's the part of their training, and
some of the special forces that because you don't know
when you're going to be able to rest, and so
they try to get to sleep quick. His response, bro,
I can sleep on a picket fence, which I thought
was pretty funny. I normally fall asleep within a few minutes.
Very rarely do I lie awake. I just turn off

(02:15:46):
my mind. You have to turn off your mind.

Speaker 2 (02:15:47):
And that's it. Okay, that's so true.

Speaker 9 (02:15:49):
That's good.

Speaker 2 (02:15:50):
That good.

Speaker 6 (02:15:51):
And he said most team guys though they sleep well initially,
but it's hard for them to stay asleep. But the
initial I'm out, I'm falling asleep. Uh, now my wife
has that capability.

Speaker 2 (02:16:03):
Is no training. It's just you could be mid sentence
and you she's asleep.

Speaker 6 (02:16:08):
Over their twitching, you know, But he says, I just
the they're trying to turn their minds off, and that's
how the nothing came up.

Speaker 2 (02:16:15):
Think about nothing, Think about nothing?

Speaker 4 (02:16:18):
And did you say spell nothing?

Speaker 6 (02:16:19):
Did you say that to Yeah? Literally, she was reading
that that that part of that one of that. Not
not everybody and those of you that have done this.
But she said, you just spell it over and over
and before you know it, you're asleep.

Speaker 2 (02:16:29):
I was almost asleep. I just almost did you just
almost did it?

Speaker 4 (02:16:33):
You were you spelling nothing in your mind?

Speaker 2 (02:16:35):
Yeah, and I was almost sleep.

Speaker 4 (02:16:36):
It's weird how it puts the word nothing in your
mind and then then all of a sudden you are
thinking about nothing.

Speaker 6 (02:16:41):
Right, and turning your mind off is easier said than done,
because how many times have you just laid it again?

Speaker 2 (02:16:47):
Really well, don't do it too good. Yeah, I'm falling
a little bit. Yeah, I'm just testing it because I
can't think about nothing. I can't too. Yeah, I love
to think. I'm glad you said that. We were.

Speaker 6 (02:17:00):
Terry said, hey, what you thinking about? And I said nothing.
She said, you can't do that. I said, actually I can.
I'm not really thinking about anything. I am thinking about
this guy. I wish he'd get over in the right lane.
That's all I'm thinking about it because I see he sees.

Speaker 2 (02:17:12):
Me in the ryview mars. I could get some reason
he won't get over. We can't do this because we're
actually doing a show, and it requires us talking. If
I could get everybody not to talk, I think I
can go to sleep.

Speaker 4 (02:17:21):
Do you want to try?

Speaker 7 (02:17:23):
No?

Speaker 2 (02:17:23):
You want to try? I think I really will. I think.
I mean because this clearing of the mind thing number
one you ever had your ever it was.

Speaker 6 (02:17:31):
Here's some more of America's finest texting says I have
the skill. Oh yeah, he said, I can do it.

Speaker 2 (02:17:38):
Do you think you could have done what was what
was required to be a navy suit?

Speaker 6 (02:17:42):
Don't even asked me that because it's easy to answer
sitting here. Oh yeah, And then you start doing it.

Speaker 2 (02:17:48):
You're like, what am I doing? I know Adler's answer.

Speaker 4 (02:17:52):
It's okay, I gotta confess something. You got guys like
that Jared Hudson guy coming in rocking Dude, it's a
cool guy. I've got guys that I think are cool
texting me saying, wow, that's a cool guy, right me. However,
I pulled a sock out of my pants, like five
minutes ago, pulled the sock out of my pants.

Speaker 3 (02:18:15):
Just got.

Speaker 4 (02:18:18):
Your pants leg?

Speaker 15 (02:18:20):
It was in my butt of my pants. Yo, I'm
sitting on some I'm sitting on my chair. I'm like
it chairs.

Speaker 4 (02:18:31):
When he first SATs weird, when I wondered what.

Speaker 2 (02:18:34):
When he first said he pulled a sock out of
his jeans, I thought to myself, was what are you
trying to impress your That's the first thing else walked
U out. Sorry, buddy, you're all right. So what you're
saying it was from the laundry, Yes, I got all
mixed together. Yes I got it.

Speaker 4 (02:18:54):
We've been on the air for three and a half
hours and I've had a clean now it was clean.
What reached into my pants and pulled out a song?
All day?

Speaker 2 (02:19:13):
You know, I thought, look, I wouldn't impress Jared too,
but I mean.

Speaker 4 (02:19:20):
Look when I shook his hand, by the way, it
felt like two men. It didn't feel like like a
man and a boy.

Speaker 2 (02:19:28):
So that was a nice.

Speaker 4 (02:19:30):
I was like, this is better than I expect it
to feel terrible. So the song worked and it was
not as bad as I thought it. You know, uh,
sports and alogy here, but you know different guy. You
always hear coach speak, you know, talking to the players. Hey,
if you think you're good, there's always somebody better than you.
You know, you think you're bad, the other team has

(02:19:51):
somebody bad. You know, you think, hey, I'm I'm kind
of a dude. I'm a man's man, and then you
meet Jared and then you realize, so I got a
long way to go.

Speaker 2 (02:19:58):
Well, his kid in my pants? Yeah, his kids, his
kids unlike ours. It'll be similar to how I grew up.
And I talk about this in the book. Is that
Greg and I and my sister when we would say
our dad could beat up your dad. Most of the time,
we were just right. Yeah, you know, and I think
his daughters will be in the same boat. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah,

(02:20:20):
it's just wow, what the dude? Somebody said that, if
it makes you feel better, he has five kids. The
sock in your pants, that struggle is real. Yeah, there's
a lot of laundry lot going on. Yeah. And then
when they get it at your sock, your wife's sock,
your kids sock. I saw it was my sock, okay. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:20:35):
In fact, I laid it out this morning. I laid
it out last night to put on this morning. I'm
getting dressed in the dark. I couldn't find the sock.
That's because it was already in my pants. I had
my pants on. The sock was in my pants.

Speaker 2 (02:20:47):
There you go, well, how about that? And then you
have you known it and you didn't.

Speaker 4 (02:20:51):
Tell us it was like ten minutes ago. Yeah, I
had a sock on my pants for over three hours.

Speaker 2 (02:20:57):
When you shook Jared's hand, it was in there.

Speaker 4 (02:20:59):
There was a sock in my pants.

Speaker 2 (02:21:02):
On your backside, on the back of my pant when
you turned to walked away. He's like, Okay, this guy's weird, right,
But then they get older, Adler, and then they just
take all your clothes. Yeah, like uh like Reese, he
was home for the weekend. We come in Sunday. He
had washed some clothes and stuff and they were laid out.
He was getting I said, these are all my clothes.
Here's one of my shirts. Here, oh, here's my sock.

(02:21:24):
Oh wow, here's this. Here's that.

Speaker 6 (02:21:26):
Same thing with jac Tyler's got half of the until
you go over his house and look in his closet
and it's all my golf clothes.

Speaker 2 (02:21:31):
Oh yeah, just wait for that, buddy. Then they start
stealing your clothes, Azrael will.

Speaker 5 (02:21:35):
Yeah, Ezra's already stealing my patience.

Speaker 2 (02:21:37):
So later, well he's getting close to he's already too.

Speaker 14 (02:21:41):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (02:21:41):
A couple more years in wear your shirt. I saw
you rocking the new hoodie. Yes, you had that. If
you had no one Jared was here, that would have
been you would have looked more like a man.

Speaker 3 (02:21:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:21:54):
Instead, I was wearing this shirt, which is just a
joke about putting soap on Castern pans. Don't write soap
on me. Instead of don't tread on me, it's don't
put soap on me. And I'm Shaker's hand. I'm like,
I have a joke on my shirt. You hate it
when don't what cast iron got to protect him?

Speaker 2 (02:22:10):
Yeah, Yeah, I'm gonna make you feel better. There's a
guy right now that this text has said. I'm actually
was having kind of a kind of a down day,
and Adler has me laughing out loud right now. I
needed this, see there. Now, See sometimes when we come
across and really what we're saying about ourselves is quite embarrassing.
But if it helps others, if it helps others.

Speaker 4 (02:22:28):
Yes, what we're doing around here, yeah, that's what we do.

Speaker 2 (02:22:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:22:32):
I did have an awkward moment that Adler doesn't even
know happened. But Adler, you know, he's been battling some
head congestion over the last half week.

Speaker 2 (02:22:41):
And has talked about it.

Speaker 6 (02:22:42):
And when Jared got here and he was shaking hands
with everybody, he went to shake hands with Adler and
I said, hey man, my kids have got something.

Speaker 2 (02:22:49):
I don't know about these at all. Give me a hand.
He didn't care. He didn't care. He walked right through.
Look he is such and then he turned away as
like who cares about something? He's not even afraid of germs.

Speaker 5 (02:22:58):
No, I did witness that because I gave him the
fist bump and he walked away.

Speaker 2 (02:23:05):
Like I said, I saw his face. I felt it.
It was awkward.

Speaker 4 (02:23:09):
He was mad at me because I didn't want to
potentially get him sick and shake his hand. He got
mad at me for that, and I get it. Whatever, Jared, Okay,
I got a sock on my fans?

Speaker 3 (02:23:19):
What do I know?

Speaker 2 (02:23:20):
Well, let me tell you that explains a lot, because
I guess he saw the sock because when you turned
and walked away.

Speaker 9 (02:23:24):
With oh oh he is it?

Speaker 2 (02:23:26):
Yeah? Yes, wow.

Speaker 6 (02:23:29):
A lot of people that have served are currently serving,
and they they they all talk about going to seleate
ear quick.

Speaker 2 (02:23:34):
Look that goes Rick. Rick's trying it. Keep spelling it, buddy,
keep spelling it.

Speaker 4 (02:23:44):
I'm getting close.

Speaker 2 (02:23:45):
I'm getting really close. Did you feel it really close?
Just for just a moment. I wish it was my
doctor could to check my blood pressure.

Speaker 9 (02:23:52):
It was so good.

Speaker 4 (02:23:54):
All right, we'll come back. I know.

Speaker 2 (02:23:56):
We kept talking about the Gary moment, but we got
we got to Adler had to fast, so we had
to deal with that. Yeah, we're going to being sleepy.
I was so sleepy driving down that my watch thinks
I fell asleep.

Speaker 4 (02:24:08):
That's not good.

Speaker 2 (02:24:09):
My Apple watch thought I fell asleep. Now I'm still awake.

(02:26:18):

You were where you need to be.

Speaker 4 (02:26:21):
That's what I said a bunch of times.

Speaker 2 (02:26:22):
Yep, and I talked about a lot though in front
of us. I also found out this weekend that we
already know that my adult children don't listen. Uh, they
just didn't listen. And I will tell you, young, Young
Broderick may be the absolute worst on communication that the
world has ever known. Sometimes I don't even think he's here.
Sometimes I'll look at life three sixty and think, should

(02:26:43):
I send some sort of help wherever this is? Because
he's not responding to anyone? Is he okay? And then
since I was just busy, okay, just a simple sounds
good seconds. So I had told everybody over and over
and over again that hey, this is all all big
Papa's got this weekend. Is you know your uncle and

(02:27:04):
I are going down Friday. We're gonna hunt.

Speaker 7 (02:27:07):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:27:07):
And then Saturday morning, that's all I got. I got
somebody got to get back to with mama. Mama's gonna
be in Tuscaloosa. The Thomases are in town. We had
John on Hello, Hello, there John towmics hello, and so
we were merely enjoyed his voice. Man, we were in
meeting them for dinner. I gotta get back for that.
Mama gets back. I need I'm gonna be home. So

(02:27:28):
I must have said that. I even produced text that.
Now he says, we're AI created. Really yeah, he goes,
it's probably AI. I said, So you think I've been
using AI to fool you, because all of a sudden
he's like, hey, Dad, looks like I'm gonna be able
to I think I am gonna be able to count
hunt just Saturday. Suggest just go hunt on Saturday. And okay,

(02:27:50):
So I mean that means he's coming in the morning.
So I do the Well, what time you're gonna be here?
I said, we got to be out in the woods
by a certain time. And uh oh no, no, I've
been grinding all week. I'm gonna rest. I'm just gonna
hunt Saturday afternoon. Well, enjoy it, but but I won't
be here nor your uncle because we have to get back.

(02:28:12):
I've told you that for you know, ten days. Now,
Huh where did you say that in every text that
I've texted? In every text? A couple a couple of times.
I even talked to you in person. You might remember. No,
so you're not hunting the afternoon? No, no, but now,
I mean, if you want to, you certainly can. You're grown. Yeah,
uh you know maybe maybe you know sometimes his wife

(02:28:33):
wants to go with him or find you somebody to
go with you, but I won't be here. Well really,
what when? When did we talk about that? Every every
conversation you've had, every text, you know what I mean? Everyone? Yeah?
So anyway, uh so they just don't they don't listen.
I don't know what he decided. My wife says, I don't.
But he decided not to come. And and of course
I kept telling him because his wife had been sick.

(02:28:54):
I said, no, you don't come down here, and I
can't be sick. Now I'm not sick. Of course, I
get a call yesterday, our texts yesterday, Hey I'm sick.
See I would have been. He would have been exposing
me to the flu or something. So it did work out.
It did work out. So that he's sick though, Yeah, no, yeah,
he's gonna be right. But I guess I'll never hear
from him. So uh but anyways, so so I so

(02:29:17):
Greg ended up having to leave early too because of
the current situation with his wife where she's not feeling
well and they're trying to find some answers with an
ongoing problem she's had that's kind of come back again.
So at one point, I'm just that campus by myself,
and you know, it's one of those things where, look,
I'm all about going to hunt. I'm grown. My goodness,

(02:29:37):
I'm sixty years old. I don't know what my dad
can and can't see in heaven, okay, but I'm just
gonna be real for a minute, and I'm glad Jared's gone. Okay,
it's dark out there when you're when you're when you're
by yourself going on the morning hunt, you think about that,
what it's dark out there, there's you by yourself. Now,
where's I ain't gonna be eve and talk to you,

(02:29:57):
pray a lot, and which is good. But you know,
you walk out on that car port and you're like,
ain't no sun and you go over to your little
side by side and you're like, I'm about to drive
to the middle of the woods out there. I ain't
got nobody with me, you know, and you're just, yeah,
I do hope jar and you're and you're kind of
you know, and and then there's that moment you mind
plays tricks on you, where like you pictured like going

(02:30:19):
down this this road, you know that's kind of you
got a lot of trees on each side because you
know their roads on hunting land, and you kind of picture.
For some reason, your mind will messed with like something
grabbing you and pulling, you know, pulling you out of
the trying to drive in the middle. Don't sit in
the middle of the sea. There's no way you could
grab it from here. But then you start thinking, what

(02:30:40):
if they drop out, whether they hit the roof, I'll
hear it, you know, what, what what's after you?

Speaker 3 (02:30:44):
What do you?

Speaker 2 (02:30:44):
What are you worried about? You think a rabbit's gonna
get you?

Speaker 3 (02:30:46):
What you know?

Speaker 2 (02:30:47):
And so so there's just that's just always that and
then all of a sudden, look then it's real quiet.
You cut everything off, you know, and then you hear
what shuffling leaves and you're like, I don't gotta walk,
gotta walk to where I'm hunting in the dark, and
then there's Gary is he out? So anyway, you know,

(02:31:09):
it was actually wonderful and had a great time, loved,
loved the time along of the woods. So I get back.
You said that, good Rick, thank you. So we get
back and Gary is at the house. When I get
back to camp house. Hey, I just won't have a word.
We Okay, what's going on? They said, you know, I

(02:31:32):
heard some stuff that Wingo was talking about when he's
down here, we and other people's talked about and I
have to agree with him. So here's the speech that
I get from Gary. He actually I turned it around
to video him because I thought this right to be interesting. Okay,
So he's asking me about how the hunt went. Here
we go, all right, So back in from the morning hunt.
You know, Greg had to leave and you know, Salt

(02:31:53):

and I just doog on it. And I came back
to camp house. You Know'm gonna do a little breakfast

didn't see I mean I saw like a six point
that's really the only deer. I saw that, you know,
gave me a little bit of hope. I mean, that's it.

Speaker 7 (02:32:31):
Well, I don't know, you're gonna have to tighten up
on your hunt.

Speaker 4 (02:32:35):
You don't.

Speaker 7 (02:32:35):
You don't get down here enough to really hunt it
like it old to be hunted. But uh, I've noticed that.
And you need to put that phone down when you're
trying to hunt. Yeah, all this texts and you texted
me this morning you've seen a sixth point and.

Speaker 2 (02:32:54):
You know I've seen that.

Speaker 7 (02:32:58):
At the C O D come out on you c
O D, well, whatever you call it. You know you
said you've seen a tree that fell.

Speaker 2 (02:33:05):
Across the road.

Speaker 7 (02:33:07):
You worry about stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (02:33:11):
That's what it is.

Speaker 7 (02:33:11):
Ain't that what you're talking about?

Speaker 2 (02:33:13):
You had that c O D now C D O
whatever it is.

Speaker 3 (02:33:18):
O C D O c D.

Speaker 2 (02:33:22):
Okay, Well I don't know. We didn't have that when
I was going.

Speaker 7 (02:33:27):
But you just need to settle down, you know, and hunt,
because like a normal person, put the phone, just put
it in your pocket, don't worry about texting nobody.

Speaker 2 (02:33:43):
Just get your mind on what you do.

Speaker 16 (02:33:44):
And I said you were serious. He was serious, and
you didn't ever tell him. You're scared of the dark.

Speaker 2 (02:33:57):
I'm not scared of dark kind of on nerd ground
when you get out there?

Speaker 4 (02:34:01):
Did he say normal person?

Speaker 2 (02:34:03):
Like a normal person?

Speaker 4 (02:34:04):
Does he know you?

Speaker 2 (02:34:06):
Thanks? Hey, he's at cod We saw you. Quit worrying
about This.

with my speech from Gary you know about me having
a cod cash on delivery for some reason but didn't

(02:35:22):
realize event o c D. And I mean he's really
getting on me. I mean when I'm out there, I
think to myself, all right, on me being here today
and riding the roads. I said, we have some trees down.
Let's get that on the list of things we need
to do. Hey, we don't need to worry about that
till after their scene's over and we'll lim them out,
we'll move them and get it done for a Turkey scene,

(02:35:43):
because that's what it's all about. Yeah, now we're about
to get into that. And so so anyway, I have
my lecture and people are saying that Geary should do
like a self help book. Can you imagine that would
be priceless? First of all, let's talk about things that
you need to do with in your line life. First
of all, you are good enough. You are a value,

(02:36:03):
you know. Can you imagine that? Huh, maybe you came
up a little bit difficult. It's all right, that ain't
who you are. And that leads into a song that
he's gonna perform.

Speaker 6 (02:36:15):
Yeah, self help, Okay, words of wisdom from Gary that
leads you into a song of inspiration.

Speaker 2 (02:36:22):
Hey, one thing, I want to let some of you
who feel lonely. You never you know when's alone? Two
less lonely people in the world. And he's just like,
let up when and me I just can't. But she's mine,
like meet you. So you know something along those stuff.

(02:36:44):
But anyway, wait and he said that. He finally just said, oh,
you can't, you can't have you can't even have a
talk because I was like, I'm sorry, I was hardly
listening to he was saying I had cod.

Speaker 6 (02:36:55):
But because I saw it if for a while he
had serious face, I know, his serious face he did
when he's like, I'm really talking to you right here,
you really did?

Speaker 2 (02:37:03):
He really wants you to put that phone down, right. Hey,
let's talk about the five page prior planning for Vince
port performance.

Speaker 4 (02:37:10):
You know, I mean, I was surprised how much texting
occurs when it's still a lot of fun while hunting.

Speaker 2 (02:37:16):
You're talking about when Brody let the biggest one of
the season walk and biggest one we've ever seen on
the property.

Speaker 4 (02:37:21):
I'm just talking about the first time I was allowed
in yes to the hunting text group.

Speaker 5 (02:37:26):
So you became a man, it was, and I was
a man before that. Okay, this was in my late thirties.

Speaker 2 (02:37:32):
Oh, I got it.

Speaker 4 (02:37:34):
I was surprised.

Speaker 5 (02:37:35):
Yeah, it seemed that was a large percent of what
we were even doing that.

Speaker 4 (02:37:40):
So you're saying excessive, it's a little excessive.

Speaker 2 (02:37:43):
But then I'd like to ask. I found it to
be excessively fun because it's everybody hacking on each other
and everybody describing what's happening in there where they're sitting. Frankly,
I love it, I can tell, and everybody thinks. I
think I got a better line than that. So Gary's
big thing is he wants you to slow down. Rick Hey.

(02:38:05):
First of all, I won't say you got always laying
down here and you do all the work on it,
and you invest in it, and frankly, you don't hunt enough.
I mean how you need to be able to enjoy it.
And I'm like, well, I understand, but I mean there's
I'm not one of these people that like if I'm
not down here because I'm doing what I also enjoy,

(02:38:26):
which is the show, the man, church stuff, Cherry and
I spending time together. It's not like I enjoy all that. Now.
Do I love when Sherry and I go down there
or we go down there front hunt?

Speaker 7 (02:38:37):
I do.

Speaker 2 (02:38:38):
I like that too, But but yeah, I'd like to
get you a little more and war. I mean, you
ain't never gonna kill none of these wiggings down here
if you don't hunt a little harder than you do,
and you need to quit worrying about that. See all
day you quit worrying about like that that thing's broke
and this needs to be fixed, and you just gotta
quit worrying about that. That was interesting.

Speaker 6 (02:39:00):
I left the show a little early on Friday to
get on South to the Games for JC and I
did hear the discussion of your cod OCD And didn't
know you like trash bags at I level?

Speaker 2 (02:39:11):
Why doesn't it?

Speaker 9 (02:39:12):
Who does?

Speaker 2 (02:39:13):
And I think the sutler first is the one that screamed,
you've got o c D. Guys, why would you not
want something that you needed I level? But it's just
people because you don't need it. Like every day, every
seton you do at camp house, if there's people down
there and foods being done, there's a lot of trash.
We a lot of trash real quick. I like to
get a bigger trash can maybe right that tiny little

(02:39:34):
thing done all much and it doesn't you know, that's
not a bathroom, it's a kitchen, so we need a
big roe. So so we like looking for a trash bag,
getting down underneath the sink and rooting around. I heard
you say, what's down there? Good spot? Yeah? If there's anything.
If there's anything that's gotten into your house, it's gonna
be down there. But if it's a trash bag, we're
all right, Yeah, but what about I go in there

(02:39:56):
and there he goes. I see him, So you're scared
of seeing it. Okay, now we're back to the dark
and all that. Right, I'm not crazy about that was
a very interesting conversation. Laughing out loud, Hey, rodents won't
be up right eye.

Speaker 4 (02:40:10):
Level while we're talking about trash bags and trash cans
and all this kind of stuff. I have come up
with something that I think is pretty smart, and I
want to share this tip. I've never heard of anybody
else doing it before. I got a little hot tip.
Hot tips are flying. Here's one. When you step on
your trash can, little little step thing to make the

(02:40:31):
lid go up. Sometimes the candle scoot around. You're like,
what's going on?

Speaker 3 (02:40:36):
You know this is.

Speaker 4 (02:40:39):
There's a logistical nightmare. What's going on. I've gotten some
extra weight plates of minds, the little ones that I
don't use, and I'll just put it in the bottom
of the can.

Speaker 5 (02:40:49):
It stays in the bottom of the can and the
bag goes on top of it.

Speaker 4 (02:40:52):
You don't even think about it, but that little extra
weight at the bottom of the trash can keeps it
from scooting around when you put your foot on it
to open the lid. I've on it with the little
baby diaper. Can I do it with? I do it
with any trash can that needs in my house. And
I think I'm pretty smart when I'm talking about.

Speaker 13 (02:41:08):
It right now.

Speaker 2 (02:41:08):
You talk about like a little five pound, little two
and a half pounds.

Speaker 4 (02:41:12):
Plate, a little plate so they ain't getting the way. Yeah,
so it sits flat on the bottom, a little five
pound plate or whatever. Wow, and that takes care of it.

Speaker 2 (02:41:22):
I can't, I can't use those working out with them.

Speaker 6 (02:41:27):
I think I think we have a new feature, hot
tips from Adler. They're flying texture brought it up all right, Larry.
We got two things, hot tips from A Yeah and
Gary the LOFE coach.

Speaker 4 (02:41:41):
And the ricks Rich co o D.

Speaker 2 (02:41:44):
Let's talk a little bit about time management. Yeah, you know.

Speaker 6 (02:41:48):
Yeah, we could ask you why you like things a
certain way and then you convince us why it's real.

Speaker 3 (02:41:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:41:53):
The die level thing is I don't know. I don't here.
The only person I know that puts trash bags at
our level. Do you understand my life? Somebody, somebody come
on to here.

Speaker 4 (02:42:03):
I'm looking at the different types of O. C. D.
And I think Rick has the.

Speaker 2 (02:42:07):
I'm not a hoarder at all. I will throw everything away.

Speaker 4 (02:42:09):
You got opposite of that. You are you have the
symmetry obsessions with that's ordering, ordering things, ord and compulsion.
There's a compulsion love order.

Speaker 7 (02:42:23):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (02:42:24):
I cannot stand us up not to be orderly. That's
why I can't. That's why I hate puzzles.

Speaker 4 (02:42:28):
You're not the over you're not the hand washing.

Speaker 2 (02:42:30):
No not, you don't hoard, but you'll you'll, you want order.

Speaker 5 (02:42:36):
You're not worried about the stove being on all night
one of those people.

Speaker 1 (02:42:39):
None of that.

Speaker 2 (02:42:40):
But it's definitely that's that symmetry thing that's me all
day long.

Speaker 4 (02:42:44):
The order got yes, oh my gosh, we found your category.

Speaker 2 (02:42:48):
No listen, listen, No, it happened. This was another one,
another one. We got ready to put the vehicles up.
I can't have anybody put the vehicles up. They don't
park them right.

Speaker 6 (02:42:58):
So you you've got to do it, is it? But
because you want to walk away knowing it's done right,
let me tell you one of my let me tell
one of my night words.

Speaker 2 (02:43:03):
Hey, thank you for having us. Now we'll go ahead
put the vehicles up that just leave them out, but
we can put them up for you. Please. You're not
gonna park them in right place and they go in
there a certain way.

Speaker 4 (02:43:17):
You're you're elevated just thinking about it right now, I just.

Speaker 2 (02:43:20):
Realize something that could walk and they all mean so well,
and they're just rent put them in their messy and
they're not gonna go in there like that. I like
them a certain way. Do you park? Walk to the
door and kind of look back at them, make sure
that that moved. Now I know if I put it
in there, they're right, But if somebody else put them
in there, really, when y'all leave, I move them just
so y'all know you didn't help me.

Speaker 4 (02:43:42):
You hurt me.

Speaker 6 (02:43:44):
Uh that that reminds you, okay. So that means that
when me and my boys went down there for Tyler's
week wedding weekend and we we used a side by side,
you told me how to put it in there, and
now I'm wondering if I put it in right. I
put there was there was actually tire marks, So I
mean I even got on the tire mall, so I
think I put it back.

Speaker 2 (02:44:01):
They but that all my tire marks. You probably did.
You probably did. That's so it's just just it's just
kind of a way I want it done. What's wrong
with and you like it.

Speaker 4 (02:44:12):
Half on the concrete, half off right.

Speaker 2 (02:44:14):
That's good. Mhmm. That doesn't you're trying to You're trying
to cause me to be anxious, aren't. You did put
it in the carport and put it in the drive
whether they don't do, make your mind up.

Speaker 4 (02:44:26):
We need to do some exposure therapy on your therapy
on you yeahs to this kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:44:30):
Fredend Byers just texts me. That's a while.

Speaker 4 (02:44:32):
Rick and I were the same person.

Speaker 2 (02:44:35):
By the way, also probably the saddest moment of camp
House weekend because my baby brother had to leave early
and my son didn't come and show up. I don't
even want to tell you. It's sad. I hate camp
House breakfast by myself, but I still fixed it was
it was longlier than IPEC.

Speaker 1 (02:44:55):
This is the Rick Burgess show cat get out of

(02:45:23):
my car, funny.

Speaker 9 (02:45:26):
Ship. You know, we're back.

Speaker 2 (02:45:29):
Thanks for being with us today. All right, there we
go a lot of people support me on the text.
By the way, the picture of the guy being uh
niece being sad at camp house. That's what. And you
know how I don't want you to start getting bucky.

(02:45:49):
I went out and I've gotten so me and baby
brother and possibly one of my sons. I went out
and got the bacon and eggs and sausage and the
biscuits and all that. He's so happy. Then Greg often
then my son did enjoy up. I'm sorry I was
out of town, right, And then Gary lectured me in
the night broke was but now was it once you

(02:46:09):
made it? Was it enjoyable or the whole it was?
It was very much, you know now because he says
you need to slow down, Well, you know, somebody needed
to come in and say, hey, bird, I know you
didn't cook all of it, but you still cooked way
too much for one person. And it's okay just to
put what you probably can't consume. Just put it back up.
You don't have to like prove something by eating all
of it. So I got the point going, I want

(02:46:30):
to be wasteful. You know, when you're getting yourself in
a little bit of a buying is when you've had
your biscuits, your sausage, your eggs, and your and your
your bacon, and there's a few biscuits still hanging around,
and you remember you've got fig preserves and apple butter
and the fridge. That's when it all goes back. Yeah,
you know when it's top.

Speaker 6 (02:46:50):
Sure you are you good at eating leftovers? The Wilburne
House is not. We try, but we tend to be
a little wasteful on some of our leftovers. We forget
they're in the fridge or you know what I mean.
I don't know why that is, but I get what
you're saying, because you don't go down there a lot,
so you like if I don't cook, Well, that's what
I said.

Speaker 2 (02:47:09):
I ended up saying, look, I don't want to waste
you this because that's not going to keep I'm And
here's somebody saying, Rick, I don't live far from camp house.
If you need me show hunt Jack. Well, this could
have been sold. Oh sorry, buddy, he said, I always
I'll go hunting. We Rick, he's just begging to do so.
Anyway down everybody said fine, but no, I did enjoy.
It was a beautiful day on Saturday, so I got it.

(02:47:29):
And got to looking outside and ate a little bit,
and you know it was good.

Speaker 6 (02:47:33):
I know, a sign of being I guess older than
we think we are, because in our minds we're not
until we do something. Then our body says, yes, you are.
You mentioned something. And Terry got on to me last
year because I hadn't been able to go hunting a
lot this year, which is just just killed me. But
I went, I went out by myself in the hardwoods
and she said, are you out there by yourself? I said, yeah,

(02:47:56):
what's wrong? Well, you don't need to be out there
by yourself when if something happens. You mean, and I
understand you, you know you want you know what you
if you need help? Oh, I said, but are you
saying this because I'm old? Because you wouldn't tell some
young dude this.

Speaker 2 (02:48:09):
That happened to me too. So when Serry got home
from Tuscalusa and we were talking about it, and it
went great, and I was so excited about that, and
you know, we we were had a dinner plan that
night with the Thomases and so we were just talking
and you know how it probably happened to you because
I didn't make a big deal about it, and then
I was like, I say what I said? You know,
I forgot. You know, it's a little bit spooky when
you're going out there by yourself. And she goes, what now,

(02:48:30):
And now I thought, oh gosh, I said, this is
but to me, And I said, well, you know, I said,
Greg had to leave and and Brody didn't come, so
I went and hunted. Anyway, You went out there by yourself,
And I said, honey, what are you talking about. My
dad hunted by himself till he, you know, like got
to Alzheimer's. Okay, what's wrong with hunting by yourself? What

(02:48:51):
if something happens? And I said, okay, let's let's walk
that out, and of course she was ready. I said,
if I hunt with the other guys, okay, we're not together. Okay,
So if I got in trouble, I would text them.
If I got in trouble out there by myself, I
would communicate with Gary. I would communicate with someone who
would then com She goes, no, no, no. I encountered

(02:49:13):
that if you're in a group and something happened so
bad you couldn't text, they would eventually go we're missing one,
and they would come find you. If you're out there
by yourself and something happened so bad you can't even communicate,
no one knows, I said, well you would know you
know where I am. I mean, everybody knows I'm still
down there. I'm not like in a mystery place like
sixty has my dot. I said, my dad would walk

(02:49:35):
off into ten thousand acres of management area we would
have never found with a flip phone, and somehow it
convinced my mom we could find and we all knew
we couldn't. You know, they didn't even have they didn't
have it, and so don't. I don't. I don't know.
It makes me like you made me feel old. Yeah,
I said, maybe you can't talk to me like I
can't help by myself. That makes me feel old. Yeah,
she said, well, I just And I said, because you

(02:49:56):
never said that when I was younger. No, And I said, yeah,
that doesn't I'm just I miss. I mean, I pulled
the Joshua. You know, I'm as strong today as I was.
I said, I'm probably stronger and better capable now than
when I was forty, you know, at three hundred and
five and looking rough. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:50:14):
Yeah, I tell you this though, if I'm climbing, which
I haven't done a while, or I'm going up on
a ladder. I do always have my phone on me. Oh,
if you've heard the hard stories. Somebody's laying there like
I did reach how are they? You know they can't
reach their phone and they just laying there and you
have reception. The whole the whole property has reception. As
far as cell reception.

Speaker 2 (02:50:33):
Uh yeah, some are some are better than others. But yeah,
you're right.

Speaker 5 (02:50:35):
You can always get you could get something out more.

Speaker 4 (02:50:37):
They could track yet, Yeah, no doubt like a cougar car.

Speaker 2 (02:50:41):
And there's no reason why I can't hunt by myself.
I understand the concern. But everything that I have if
I had people there, I still have because these phones,
even if I can't access them. Everybody like, well, let's
ping his phone? Yeah, can you can you ask your
phone to call? I think you can? Can't You Like
if I'm laying there, I'm like, Zieri, go.

Speaker 4 (02:50:59):
Yeah, if you the series feature turned on her, if
you can push a button and do CEREALKA. By the way,
I've noticed that I should never mention my back problems
to my wife because then in like the worst possible moment,
she'll ask, hey, how's your back doing, and it will
make me feel incredibly old.

Speaker 5 (02:51:13):
Yeah, so I don't don't talk about it anymore.

Speaker 4 (02:51:16):
It could be excruciating. I'm not mentioning it.

Speaker 2 (02:51:18):
This is me talking to my phone.

Speaker 1 (02:51:20):
Okay, back, just go to camp house.

Speaker 4 (02:51:22):
I'll need the trash back there at all level.

Speaker 2 (02:51:27):
So see there the father level, I splant bring me
a bag, you know. So see what if I was
making a crawl run under the sore right trash bag
were there behind all the dishwasheduff?

Speaker 1 (02:51:44):
It's back in there.

Speaker 2 (02:51:45):
Be careful, you know, but.

Speaker 1 (02:51:49):
Hurry that.

Speaker 2 (02:51:51):
Okay, by the way, there's but what I mean by
all that, I don't think I'm O c D. I
think I just like things the way I like them.

Speaker 4 (02:51:58):
I think that's what I'm c.

Speaker 2 (02:52:03):
I get what you're saying. That camp house. I know
how it should be, and I just wish everybody would
just enjoy it. Yeah, yeah, thank you for trying to help.
That's how we're doing the dishwasher, just like that. Come on, guys,
you know that doesn't.

Speaker 9 (02:52:16):
Go on the bottom.

Speaker 4 (02:52:17):
Different people do different things. Rick different people do different things.

Speaker 3 (02:52:20):
I know.

Speaker 6 (02:52:20):
And it's what somebody said happened this year, broke leg
out of a stand.

Speaker 2 (02:52:25):
I know it can happen, and I understand that. But
but you being alone and people being away from you
other parts of the land, it's really similar. Oh but
we fell out of a stand and I found it
good night.

Speaker 4 (02:52:37):
No, it's very serious, Actually no, it is.

Speaker 9 (02:52:39):
It is.

Speaker 4 (02:52:39):
Well, I think that's a couple of people are here
in our state.

Speaker 2 (02:52:42):
But but where we hunt? And I told Sherry this,
you don't have to look I do. If I'm by myself,
I just don't do ladder stands. I do ground I
do ground blocks.

Speaker 14 (02:52:51):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (02:52:52):
Yeah. So I'm not being you know, cavalier and daredevilish
with it, right, all right, We'll.

slash big Vox that's also our U r L or
just go grab the link at Rick burgesshow dot com
under sponsors. Remind me to ask you something about sponsors

(02:55:51):
button we go to break. Okay, all right, so we did.
We do have some news today. We covered you know,
the new the plane crash updates, horrible stuff. We've hit
some of that. We hit the Grammys. We talked a
little bit about that. So but here is are these
the members of the Democratic National Committee. They're trying to communicate.

(02:56:13):
You know, we keep talking about this show comes from
the real world. This fake world that we've created is
just bizarro. And sometimes it's so bizarro. Even those that
claim to love it, can't even explain it themselves. And
one of the more simple deals is this deal dealing
with gender. You know, now everybody's having a conniption because
the trumpetdministration has really really got out there on the

(02:56:36):
cutting edge and have said something outrageous like there's only
two genders. Now, keep in mind those that claim that's
not the case will also scream at you if you
don't if you try to argue against what they say
is settled science. Right to them, man made climate change,
settled science. There's two genders unsettled. Know that that has

(02:57:01):
been pretty well documented with biology, pretty straightforward stuff. But anyway,
now here here, here are the Democrats trying to explain
to us their point of view with.

Speaker 9 (02:57:14):
This d d n C.

Speaker 6 (02:57:18):
Was it chair, I guess elections Rick, it's time for that. Oh,
they're about to explain how to vote and everything that
it's if you follow this.

Speaker 17 (02:57:27):
Rules specify that when we have a gender non binary
candidate or officer, the non binary individual is counted as
neither male nor female, and the remaining six offices must
be gender balanced. With the results of the previous four elections,
our elected officers are currently two male and to female.

Speaker 2 (02:57:50):
In order to be gender balanced, we must.

Speaker 14 (02:57:55):
We must elect.

Speaker 2 (02:57:58):
One male, one emil, and one person of any gender.
So again follow it. This is what we have to
do for this vice chair race.

Speaker 17 (02:58:08):
We have to elect one male, one female, and one
person of any gender.

Speaker 4 (02:58:14):
To ensure our process accounts.

Speaker 2 (02:58:16):
For male, female and non bond area, here we go.

Speaker 17 (02:58:19):
We conferred with our RBC co chair, our LGBT Caucus
Coachair and others to ensure that the process is inclusive
and meets the.

Speaker 2 (02:58:26):
Gender balance requirements in our rules.

Speaker 17 (02:58:29):
To do this, our process will be slightly different than
the one outline to you earlier this week, but I
hope you will see that in practice it is simple
and transparent.

Speaker 2 (02:58:39):
Yeah, no doubt about that. That was very simple, very transparent,
and follow on who to vote for and how I
I did not I did not follow that.

Speaker 4 (02:58:52):
That went on for another full minute and a half.

Speaker 3 (02:58:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:58:54):
Yeah, he gets even tied up one other time too,
I think.

Speaker 4 (02:58:56):
And yes, and here he is trying to explain it
some more and has to hand it over.

Speaker 17 (02:59:02):
So on this next ballot, you will be able to
vote for two candidates of any gender.

Speaker 2 (02:59:07):
On the next ballot.

Speaker 4 (02:59:09):
If two candidates receive.

Speaker 2 (02:59:12):
Uh yeah, I'm gonna turn to Helen to clarify this
last part. You get Helen up here, Helen, you are.

Speaker 18 (02:59:23):
In this next ballot where you have two votes, as
the chair has set, you may vote for two males,
two females, two of any gender. Okay, No, you can't
do that.

Speaker 2 (02:59:38):
Y'all got the balance.

Speaker 18 (02:59:40):
You could vote for one of any gender, okay, or
no non binary gender.

Speaker 4 (02:59:46):
Excuse me, it is late.

Speaker 2 (02:59:49):
Yeah, or maybe what you're doing is just God, this
looks like a Saturday Night Live skit? Is this real?

Speaker 3 (03:00:00):
Is this real?

Speaker 2 (03:00:00):
Is this pretend that's really?

Speaker 3 (03:00:01):
That?

Speaker 14 (03:00:02):
Is that is real?

Speaker 2 (03:00:03):
Does it not look like it is a certain Yes?

Speaker 4 (03:00:07):
You know they did the Casper slide at one point
during this.

Speaker 2 (03:00:11):
I like when she said so confidently. Then she goes, no,
wait now we can't do that. I can't do that,
can't do it that way here love the crowds going
huh yeah, yeah they do, and.

Speaker 1 (03:00:25):
There they go, goodness having.

Speaker 2 (03:00:27):
A good time. Okay, well again, I think we all
see a lot of your texting this and you are correct,
and this party can't figure out why they didn't win. Yeah,
they keep this up. They came again figure out that
at all. So there there we go. I don't have
to bring this up tomorrow with Greg again.

Speaker 4 (03:00:48):
Funny point. The chair ended up being a white guy, so.

Speaker 2 (03:00:52):
There you all for nothing.

Speaker 4 (03:00:56):
And the vice chair was another white guy. It's actually
David Hogg, uh, the twenty year old.

Speaker 7 (03:01:02):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (03:01:04):
I can't make this up.

Speaker 3 (03:01:06):
This is real.

Speaker 2 (03:01:07):
No gender confusion there, so please keep reading.

Speaker 4 (03:01:18):
No I can't, so I can't. Y'all forgot who David
Hog is.

Speaker 2 (03:01:23):
He's I have no idea.

Speaker 4 (03:01:25):
He's an anti gun activist. He's in his mid twenties
because he survived a school shooting. Oh yeah, but he's
an absolute puppet of the of the Libs and uh,
he's substanceless and he's trying to take trying to take
guns from people that follow laws, which does not.

Speaker 2 (03:01:45):
Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry. What happened to him happened?

Speaker 4 (03:01:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:01:49):
But in the moment when you do that out there,
it was just a yeah, no, yeah, there you.

Speaker 4 (03:01:57):
Two white guys, two white guys.

Speaker 2 (03:01:59):
One after all, Well, you know what happened is somebody said,
I'll tell what I'm voting for. Two dudes, especially the
white ones, because we know the Democratic Party they're they're
the party of the minority and of the uh, the LGBTQ.

Speaker 6 (03:02:13):
All right, let's not forget any time you have something
like this, it's well planned out. Sure, we got meetings,
probably tons of zoom calls. Yes, people traveled in airfare,
you know, rental cars, Uber all this stuff. Then they
get there and they can't even figure it out because
it's so confusing.

Speaker 2 (03:02:32):
No, this is this is a classic example. And some
of y'all are texting this and you are right. This
is a classic example of being so open minded that
your brain has fallen out. Yeah, I mean, it's it's
just they and to do all this with a straight face.

Speaker 4 (03:02:49):
At one point they have the panel of people that
are running for this. The MSNBC interviewer says, how many
of y'all think that Kamala Harris lost because of racism?
Being higher? Panel raise their hands.

Speaker 2 (03:03:02):
Well, in the fake world, that may be true. In
the real world, she was just a really bad Canadean.

Speaker 4 (03:03:07):
Yeah, we'll be back.

Speaker 2 (03:03:10):

So I was looking over some of the different Babylon

(03:04:28):
B headlines, you know, because I love them. They're just
they own me and I have such a good time.
So here's one that I think, Adler, you are ready
to talk to us about because you're O a NBA expert,
You're the one here it is from Babylon B. Hungover,
Mark Cuban wakes up hoping he didn't make any dumb

(03:04:51):
basketball trades last night, right, so what's going on?

Speaker 3 (03:04:56):
So?

Speaker 4 (03:04:57):
Okay, the Dallas Mavericks traded away their young ish twenty
six twenty seven something like that. Yeah, superstar that got
them to the finals last year. Yes, uh Luca don
chicch excuse me, uh don chich' there you go. He
was traded along with Max Klaver Morris as well to

(03:05:19):
the Lakers in exchange for Ronnie uh kidding, Rodney Well,
ten time All Star Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a
twenty twenty nine first round pick.

Speaker 2 (03:05:31):
But what was the Lake's name again?

Speaker 4 (03:05:33):
Luca don chicch. Wow, that's hard to say, but don't
ad is old. Uh don Duncicic was supposed to be
the Luca. That's why everyone calls him Luca.

Speaker 2 (03:05:45):
That's what my name is Luca.

Speaker 4 (03:05:47):
My name is Lula.

Speaker 2 (03:05:48):
Played for the Max. My name is Luca. He's Asian.
I guess now, lucas what so that this is a
great player?

Speaker 4 (03:05:59):
This Yeah, he got into the finals last year. They
got waxed in the finals, but the Celtics took it
to him. But it's just it's a it's mid season.
It's their superstar, and so people are very surprised. One
of the things that's gotten some of the most press
is and other NBA players finding out about the trade,
about the trade. Mid game, you can see k d

(03:06:22):
uh Kevin Durant is looking at his phone, other players
on the bench looking at their phone, looking around.

Speaker 5 (03:06:27):
They can't believe it.

Speaker 2 (03:06:29):
Oh wow, they really do have a reaction to it.

Speaker 4 (03:06:32):
That's mid game because this is a mid season trade,
which is which is crazy. The one of the one
of the cool things that I saw from the Mavericks
last year. And we're not gonna get plays like this anymore.
Here's Luca, he's guarding what do anymore? Well, he and

(03:06:52):
Kyrie Irvin had some some cool chemistry. But lucas one
of those think boys that just moves well you know
he he there has from Slovenia.

Speaker 2 (03:07:03):
Yes, so he and uh Milania Trump are from the
same place. Run Oh is that right behind the threat? Yeah,
behind the back throat.

Speaker 4 (03:07:10):
This blind behind the back pass. But then watch what
Kyrie Irving does. You think he's gonna you think he's
gonna go up for the layup and then little trickery
here because here comes little man ready to slam it in.
So that yeah, that play went.

Speaker 5 (03:07:23):
That guy can leap right, Yeah, Yeah, that play went
super viral.

Speaker 4 (03:07:27):
Yeah, that's part of the twenty twenty.

Speaker 6 (03:07:28):
You don't think you can do that with other with
his new team, No, I just said, And they say,
Luca's only twenty five.

Speaker 4 (03:07:34):
Twenty five, Okay, there you go. So he's way younger
than I even realized.

Speaker 2 (03:07:37):
My name is Luca. I wish I could jump like that.

Speaker 4 (03:07:39):
When they made it to the finals, they won, they
won their conference championship, They won the Western Conference Championship.
Luca has has trouble according to the Dallas Mavericks of
staying in shape. Oh real, he'll get thick.

Speaker 2 (03:07:52):
Well, they always get on heavy guys.

Speaker 1 (03:07:53):
They do.

Speaker 4 (03:07:54):
So after they win the Western Conference championship, everybody's hanging out.
They've got their finals. That's on there, going to the finals,
and this video went viral. This is actually Luca drinking
a beer. And then if you'll see, the owner of
the team walks up and takes the beer out of
his hand.

Speaker 2 (03:08:13):
Easy. Oh wow, oh he sure does. Yeah, they're saying
Cuban is only like twenty percent of the team. Now
said he's so over eighty percent of the team for
three point five billion, so that that's one of the
owners or was that just a trainy personnel.

Speaker 4 (03:08:30):
Is it the is the head coach of the owner.
Somebody took one of the people above him in management
took the beer out of his hand without him asking,
and you can see Luca look at him, just be like,
hey man, we just won this series. Can I drink?
I'm a grown man? Yes, sort of.

Speaker 5 (03:08:47):
People are wondering there if that is the where the
rift began.

Speaker 6 (03:08:51):
But well, yeah, I was going to say, is it
just bad blood or something? I mean, you textures that
follow it makes sense of this.

Speaker 2 (03:08:59):
Yeah, it's on the I'm sorry. I now see other
babylon being You're sorry. But if y'all get some information,
let me know. But I have to read this one
to you. The entire federal workforce has now been replaced
by one sixteen year old Chick fil A employee. Gosh,
that's good.

Speaker 4 (03:09:18):
That's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (03:09:18):
Isn't that a great one? What about this one? This
is Deei's fault. Christ Donald Trump after not getting any
pickles on his big Mac, We've lost Ricky. I'm sorry.
These are all fantastic. From the home life wife, wife
helpfully explains to husband what he meant by what he said.

Speaker 1 (03:09:38):
That's good.

Speaker 2 (03:09:39):
How can they be bat and so high. They never missy. Well,
they live, they're they're they're reporting like we do. They
don't whatever.

Speaker 6 (03:09:47):
Okay, So that's what's interesting is the player's reaction. They
cannot believe it.

Speaker 4 (03:09:53):
Yes, that's the whole city of Dallas can't believe So Adam,
let's look at uh, let's look at video two.

Speaker 2 (03:09:58):
So I know there's a lot of tal about tariffs,
and you know, there seems to be a misunderstanding about tariffs,
and I even I know the market didn't respond well
to tariffs and it's having to set a little bit.
We actually have a video where this guy breaks you
I don't know who this guy is, but he breaks
down tariffs very well. We've discussed it on the show.
We discussed it on the on the Rick and Bubbys Show,

(03:10:20):
and you know, explained it pretty well. But people still
are a little bit confused, and you get you hear
people say things about tariffs and aren't really true. So
here's kind of a one minute tariff breakdown if you're
confused on tariffs.

Speaker 3 (03:10:32):
Here we go.

Speaker 19 (03:10:33):
First, A tariff is a tax imposed on a country
he's imported goods and services. The United States only imports
fifteen percents of goods and services internationally.

Speaker 9 (03:10:41):
The rest is domestic.

Speaker 19 (03:10:43):
Now, a lot of you are concerned about what's happening
with Canada and Mexico. Well, you remember that fifteen percent
I talked about, Canada and Mexico only produced five percent
of that. That means between both of them, they only
produce five percent of the United States GDP.

Speaker 9 (03:10:58):
So guess what.

Speaker 4 (03:10:59):
This trade war is gonna.

Speaker 19 (03:11:00):
Turn both of those places into a third World country,
although Mexico already is one. Now, the reality is we
don't want that, but the United States is tired of
being taken advantage of by the countries who are refusing
to pay their fair share. And we all know you
guys want fair share and tariffs are a way of
achieving that. Now, let's look at Canada. Twenty percent of
the GDP of Canada comes from the United States trade agreements,

(03:11:23):
and seventy five percent of their trade happens with the
United States. Now that means if prices go up because
of imported goods from Canada, Americans are gonna refuse to
buy them, meaning Canada's not gonna make any money and
as worth seventy five percent of their trade that's gonna
be detrimental to their economy. And Mexico doesn't even remotely
have a leg to stand on with forty percent of

(03:11:44):
their GDP tied into American export. No, no, you're gonna
say that Canada is threatened to turn off power to
American Well, we'll just raise the tariff.

Speaker 2 (03:11:52):
They're not gonna turn it off.

Speaker 19 (03:11:53):
Do you know why, Because Canada's utilities is fifty five
billion dollars in debt.

Speaker 4 (03:11:58):
They they can't turn on.

Speaker 1 (03:12:02):
Delivery.

Speaker 4 (03:12:02):
The guy's delivery is hilarious.

Speaker 2 (03:12:04):
It's yeah, from that, I thought you did. Really Yeah, no,
and but that is important and like others have said,
and you're right, especially when you're talking about some small
percentages like he laid out. It also encourages Americans to
just buy products that are made here, which helps our
own businesses as well.

Speaker 4 (03:12:24):
Yes, yes, we have all the leverage here. Yeah, let's
actually use it protect the US people, consumers, workers, and companies.

Speaker 14 (03:12:34):
Ye.

Speaker 2 (03:12:35):
Yeah, thanks, you man with us. If you're leaving us now,
don't forget to catch it any part of the show
you missed. Tomorrow, Lord Willing a brand new Rick Burgess Show.
