(03:30):
My wife Sherry and I Lord Willing, will be headed
to First Baptist Church Dexter, Missouri. And it is a
packed weekend. Men's event Friday night, women's event Saturday at brunch,
marriage event Saturday night for couples, and then I preached
two services on Sunday. So we'll spend the weekend in Dexter, Missouri.

(03:52):
If you want to be part of that, you certainly
still can't all those details at Burgessministries dot com under
events and they will serve a meet at all three events.
I don't know imagine taking that on. So and that's
and that's included in your ticket. So you can just
come to the men's event, you can just come to
the women's event, and you just come to the marriage event,
or you can come to all of it. So it's

(04:13):
all and then everybody, of course is welcome for church
on Sunday. I was. I was talking to the contact.
There no surprise here. I said, how are things going?
He goes, well, the women have already got their tickets
and they're fired about Sherry coming. And I said, so
what what what about? He goes men's event, as you
can imagine, dragging a little bit, and he said, but

(04:34):
they'll come. They'll come around the last minute. So so
they're women plan ahead, rick they do. They're ready for that.
They're ready for that brunch, the men the Friday night,
a little dinner and the thing. We'll get around to it.
Uh So So anyway, that's uh, that's just uh, that's
just me. That's thirty thousand feet over the week, right,
there's a lot of details in there that will work out.
And uh, today we focus on stories from the weekend,

(04:57):
and we've got some doozies, uh and involving the world,
involving sports, involving personal lives, as is the norm, So
we'll unpack those today. Got a few questions and suggestions
in the Hayburg hayburge emails and of course the text people.
They give suggestions. The entire show an instant feeding they
so uh and and maybe we'll squeeze in a phone

(05:19):
call segment or two. So so speedy, I know that
you you went off to uh to Mississippi. We'll get
an update on that. Oh yeah, the delta. You did
dine at the airport cafe. I did well.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Airport Airport Grocery is what it's called, the official name,
which it can be confusing because you think it's a
grocery store.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
I get it, and you think it's at the airport.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Right either of those.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
As we pulled up, Jac said, Oh, I thought this
was at the airport.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Uh it's a new airport anywhere near it.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
No, it's a new location.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
I don't know the history, probably as far as I
think they changed locations. But it's in Cleveland, Mississippi. And
uh I didn't know this. But Reg and he says, hey,
Johnett and Reg Wade in uh and and this was
one of Rig's favorite places to go because you know
they live over in Mississippi. This is JC walking in
when we finally got there. Saturday in Cleveland, Mississippi was

(06:14):
a rain out all games where everything's rained out.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
And so it was a day where you just kind
of were like, hey, we don't really have a schedule.
Coach released the boys to go eat if you had parents,
if you have parents in town. So JC and I
hooked up for a really big lunch. And as much
as he ate, I said, I am so glad you
don't play he goes, yeah, we were playing it out
like this.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Because he was walking slow back. I saw I saw
those plates. Wow. Yeah, the peach cobbler alone.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, the peach Cobbler was a big was a big win.
It was a really big win fans of the show.
And I had a little bit of miscommunication and we'll break.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
All that down. H Yes, yeah, yes, you.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Did a very uncomfortable moment as j C said, that
was uncomfortable yep, and I said yes, and you know
it's it's look, it was bad information. I didn't create
the problem I was given. I was actually pointed to
a person right there, right there.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Okay, So I was just going off was good? So bad? Yeah,
so so bad? Only why can't we go anywhere where?

Speaker 2 (07:25):
It's just as I was walking back to my booth,
like looking down at my shoes, I was old cold,
I'm like, why can't I just go somewhere and everything's
all right?

Speaker 1 (07:34):
You know, everything just goes smooth. No, sorry, I don't
overgreed or no scare people, right, and I think seed,
it's just there's certain things that triggering you and you
just can't help yourself. So it's just going to say
thank you, I know. Then that's all. Then I had
to go and send you a post and said haven't
you been through enough? You know what? So h So, anyway,

(07:54):
well we got a lot to do we really do.
Final four is in. Final four is in all number
one seeds, and Speedy has looked at a little bit
of it. I got eyes. Yeah, well I knew you'd
watched enough for me to ask you a question. Of course,
I knew you were in. Yeah, you're so funny. Yeah,
I was just waiting for you to walk in. I know,
you get we all know each other really well. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
So the last time all four number one seeds made
it to the final four was two thousand and eight,
and the finals were in San Antonio, where they are now,
and the finals were April fifth through seventh, with they are,
which they are this year.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
So it's like the years is a duplicate except for
the teams, of course, but Auburn facing Florida, uh, and
then Duke in Houston.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Time is a circle, man, You know, time is a
cir Does it bother any anybody that March Madness actually
ends in April?

Speaker 4 (08:47):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeah, of course, stuff like that flies all over me. Yeah,
we can't get this same. Seriously, we could have adjusted something.
We started a week early. March got thirty one days. Yeah,
it's not a short month. Well, no, it's March.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Madness that spills into April, right, yeah, but the madness
and the madness in the field and the craziness happened
in March.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
So the Final Four is not part of madness.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Well, I think, I think so.

Speaker 5 (09:11):
I think we've just discovered that it's the madness is
over now we're to the Final four.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, so the Final four will not be mad No,
there's no madness, no.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
No, because the mad going to be straight up basketball.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
I do think, I do think that it's it's good
the madness isn't over. I mean, these these teams are
so good, there's going to be some madness left.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
That's four good ones right there, all number one seeds.
All there happened, as Speedy told you in two thousand
and eight, same place, same dates. That's odd. Yeah. Yeah,
So we got a little bit of that today. And
I'm madness first basketball I watched all year. I watched
a little bit of it, two different games. That's cool.
Maybe maybe eight three.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
So don't want to get overly sporty, but I mean
Final four is on our mind. And of course a
lot of you. Man, you got your bracket and you've
been following this and you're all over this fired up.
And then there's then there's those of us that are
very casual on this and haven't seen the basketball game

(10:21):
since maybe Magic Johnson and Larry Bird play so so.
But but I like when it gets down and it
gets intense and we get down. And obviously I was
born and raised as Greg you were. Adler has been
here a long time. Speedy from Mississippi, but that lived
in Alabama a long time. So anytime you have teams
from our part of the world that are still involved,

(10:45):
we tend to go give a looxie, uh, And so
we had tons of Southern teams still in it. So
that kind of drew us because that's part of our world.
Just like wherever you're from, you're probably drawn to the
teams that you grew up around. So I thought, well,
let's have a look and see what's going on. I
you know, couldn't commit to a whole game. It just
I didn't have that in me. But so then you

(11:06):
start because Sherry and now were kind of doing a
we we were hanging out all day together on Saturday,
and then of course you get into Sunday and you're
you know, spending the weekend together and we've been busy
and it was good, and you trying to find a
way to get them interested. So I tried playing the
seven foot nine Florida kid, and that had Sherry like

(11:26):
super interested. I'm like, like, he can stand flat footed
and cut the net down, which he did, and she's like,
I want to see this person, and so did I.
But I was so out of the loop. I didn't
realize he doesn't play. He said, he's just a freshman
and he never gets in the game. So the minute
she realized that the Giant wasn't playing, she was out.
So I lost. I lost her on that one, and

(11:49):
then I kind of got less interested. Even though Florida's phenomenal,
I just I wanted to see Look at this he
is cutting the net down flat foot, So really the
seventh right now, the seven foot nine guy is basically
a side show for Florida. He doesn't play, but people
like to see People like to see him in pregame
and like to see him cut the net down, but

(12:11):
he does not play in the game. Can I ask
a dumb question? Sure we all do. I don't know
anything about a lot, but this show is full of
dumb questions. So we're down to the final four. Why
are we cutting nets down? You didn't win the tournament? Yeah,
you they cut them down when they make the final four.
Cut it down, Greg, I mean, but you didn't win.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Well, they want they wanted a couple more games you got.
They won that piece of the bracket.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
But if you have that net on display, but you
got beat in the final four of that net, really Yeah,
I guess you have a final four net. You have
a national championship net there, I guess, just wondering.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
Okay, So so you'll cut it when you get to
the final four, and you'll cut it when you win
the final four, and then you'll cut it again when
you win the championship.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Theoretically, whoever, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah, I mean I would assume when do I start?

Speaker 1 (12:54):
When do I start cutting nets? The basketball is cut
the net thing is usually I'm the champion, That is correct.
Put it around everybody.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yeah, well, you have four brackets. I mean I get
that they won each one of them.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
The semifinals in football, they might get I don't know
they cut there? Do they do? They hang banners for
we we won our region and went to the final four.
Oh yeah, they of course. So final four is final four.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
It's only a second time Auburn's ever done it.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Ye, so you got to get Auburn in it, don't you.
It didn't take long. Yeah, but I mean they're they're
in it. But there's there's other teams.

Speaker 5 (13:27):
There's other teams, right, but it's like they're cutting the
nest at that location.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Like we won this location, now we go to the next.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
That helps that it's a new place.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah, well whatever, let's let's get this out of Adler
right out of there. You said that you don't joke
around anymore rivals once the teams get to the what
the final sixteens?

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Playoffs? Once once playoffs, are.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
You going to say nothing?

Speaker 3 (13:51):
I don't joke around during playoffs.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
So you're just gonna say Auburn one. But you're gonna
say anything about Alabama.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
I'll say that Alabama. I'm not gonna say who it was.

Speaker 5 (14:01):
But one of y'all called it during after the last game,
after when Alabama won and they were just draining what
it was like a historic number of threes, and one
of y'all said during the break in fact, watch now
after they get so so hot in that game. The
next game, the next game, they're going to come out
and not look as as hot.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
And that's that is what happened.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
But of course I don't know if anybody could a
big dude pretty good, yeah, real good.

Speaker 5 (14:26):
The only thing I will say is that I think
what's his name Sears is moving on and I'm along
with other Auburn fans breathing a sigh of relief. They
don't have to deal with him again next season because
the great team, phenomenal group, Nate oates, great coach's and
best of luck to them.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
He almost sounds sincere. I mean he really is he
reading that? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
Can I tell you am sins here right now?

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Can I tell you though? I was sharing and I
were out and about on Saturday doing what she likes,
because you know we I did what I liked on
Friday and then we found a combination there.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
But I was running into Alabama fans I'm talking about
with the Crimson on out in about on Saturday. They
were all saying the same thing. There was not one
Alabama fan I met that thought they were gonna win.
They were like, we we can't play the way we
played in the last game again, that's impossible.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
It was crazy, lights out.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
But so I didn't see a lot of confidence in
the Bama fans that I saw real good. They were
almost saying our team has maxed out. We've gone as
far as we should have gone. You know. That was
kind of interesting. Well, and that's also just like the draw.
I mean, what you got to do to get to
the final four. Well, that's true, and they were doing
the combination that, but they all were also saying this

(15:35):
thing y'all were saying, is see, for us to beat Duke,
we got to be able to do what we did again.
And they didn't think they that you could be that
hot two games in a row. It's hard but outstanding season.
Now did they get cutting that down? They agreed they
cutting that down because they made it to the eight.
We're gonna cut a sixteen net and eight four I

(15:56):
don't do that. A national championship we should start, and
a conference champion name they won, they won anament net.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
If you want a ragion, you cut a net and
Burgess ball we're gonna start cutting it out.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
Yes, is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
So it will be uh quite the final four coming
your way later in the week. Uh So all number
ones history has repeated itself from again back on two
thousand and eight, same location, uh, in same dates, which
is weird. So all that's done, we'll hit some more
of that. You can comment on that as we go

(16:37):
forward on the show too. Another story that continues to
be ongoing as far as the world, and this is
this bizarre attempt to for Disney to pretend that snow
White is successful when it has very disappointing box office takings.
Now we know in the world and we pulled the
curtain back on this for years when we were doing

(16:59):
the Rick and Bubba show. Is that when people claim
something's doing well, you can find some sort of way
to make really any claim number one show and that,
and then you're like, number what do you mean? Number
one show? And then well number one with people over
this age with that have a slight limp, you know,

(17:19):
and all this and so I've noticed it's funny. It's
almost like Disney is not in the their trying to
create their own reality. You'll see them say the number
one movie in the world, Well it might be number
one movie like overseas. Uh. In doing this and that, Like,
I saw this bizarre thing when Sherry and I were

(17:41):
in Toronto, not last weekend, but the weekend before, Like
they were really promoting it heavy there. Like even when
you went to this castle we went through, there was
one room that was called the Snow White Exhibit, and
it was really just a bunch of movie posters promoting
the movie. It was strange.

Speaker 5 (17:58):
Oh, this is supposed to be a globe box office
smash and they're going to be losing hundreds of millions
of dollars.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
It's looking like it.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
And they've tried to take away the things that in
the real world people actually like. But remember, in the
fake world, we pretend we don't like anymore. We don't
like romance. We don't like a prince pursuing you know,
this female and devoting himself to her and you know,
kissing her and waking her up after the evil witch

(18:27):
and asking her. In the fake world, that's outdated. Nobody
wants that. In the real world, that's what people would
prefer to see. So you create, again a marketing plan
that's based on the fake world, and then it's a
disaster in the real world. Well, people keep trying to
pretend with Disney that this adler just said that the
show the movie's actually successful when it's not. And there's

(18:50):
all kinds of reasons. The actress who played snow White
has not helped at all with some of her bizarre
old Dwarf they wanted real Dwarf actors. They got mad
because they weren't in on it. Now they've just they're
c g right, we've cut out real Dwarfs. There's been
all kinds of problems.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
But apparently, and I don't understand this. One of John
Lennon's son, Sean. Now this is the one with Oko, right, yes, yeah,
this is Oko Yo Yoko Yo Yoko. Oh no, not Julian. Uh.
And he is on some sort of bizarre rant about

(19:28):
why why is Sean Lennon weighing in on snow White
the movie? I don't really know, uh, but talking about it. Yeah,
he's gone on some kind of uh bizarre ex was
a post, Yeah he posted it. Uh, and so he
is he's trying to weigh in on the disappointing Box
Off performance.

Speaker 6 (19:49):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
He is now forty eight. I did not know that
he He does post on X which we know was
formerly Twitter. We got that, Uh, and he's he seems
to have no connection to this actress at all. Uh,
and it says that he kind of snapped. Uh, and
he now has he now has deleted the tweet. So

(20:09):
so anyways, but we but it's stout there, right, we
have the original before he's deleted it. That's what's in
the story. Yeah, and so he he now says that
that he he got uh, he went too far. And
he he said that he he does agree though, that
she does act like a spoiled, ungrateful, disconnected bratt. Yeah,

(20:30):
he's very critical of the elite actress. Well, I would
have to agree. I mean, I don't know as much
about this as apparently he does. I haven't followed her
that much, but I have seen some of the things
people have shown. And if you're a person who's invests
a lot of money in this movie, you're saying, hey,
you're killing us. Yeah, and you you are not helping

(20:52):
us at all. And uh. He goes on to say
that some people are saying beauty is on the inside,
but that is not the kind of beauty that gets
you modeling or acting or even bodybuilding jobs. Some people
are genetically gifted in the beauty department, and that's just
a fact of life. There's a lot you can do
to help with style and personality, but none of that

(21:12):
is going to win you a bodybuilding competition, for example,
if you don't have good genetics, let's not be babies.
Physical beauty is not on the inside. Wow. So this
sounds like, Greg, did you post this getting in the
real world? Wow?

Speaker 3 (21:31):
And and he kind of feel further. Rachel Ziggler actress.

Speaker 5 (21:35):
She's young, and she's had all these music or all
these movie executives just you know, talking in her ear
telling her she's the greatest thing ever. And there's a
whole you know, ecosystem of people all around her, and
she she's become kind of the main villain. But when
you look at all the choices that they made in the.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Style life, of course, of course.

Speaker 5 (21:56):
Every change they made to the original story is in
a liberal slant. So it's the Rachel girl is taking
the fall, But it's the entire Disney complex that has
made all these liberal choices throughout the entire movie that
is causing this thing to tank.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
But she hasn't helped herself because pre movie interviews and stuff,
she was out there with a lot of stuff.

Speaker 5 (22:18):
Absolutely, absolutely, but she's just parroting what she's also being
told and repeated to her too. You know, I kind
of feel for the young girl.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Whatever. Anyway, I kind of love this sum up. And
this said they've kind of pulled this together from all
the different threads that have been out there. But they
said one user, this is on Reddit, and I think
this is perfect and it's what you just said, Adler.
But listen to this perfect sum up of who all
everybody called in this ridiculous idea, a perfect storm of

(22:47):
bad ideas gets exactly what it deserves. This was one
bad idea after another. And again it's back to what
we've been saying. They put this movie together for a
fake world, and now they can't feel you're out while
half of their projected revenue is not happening. I'll tell
you why. You took something and put it out in
the real world and you got what you deserved.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Well, it came in second in the box office this
past week, and A Working Man was number one, and
it came in at number two, and it looks like
it only brought in about fourteen million.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Well, they said, right now, it's at forty eight million,
and they were projecting. By now it should be at
like eighty five. So it's doing about fifty percent what
Disney projected. But I'm with all of you. I mean,
this actress isn't helping things, but she kind of has
been put in the situation. But she took it. And

(23:40):
I mean she went out and said, I like what
you're doing, and this is what we need to do
with snow White. But you just you talk about overthinking something.

Speaker 5 (23:50):
They made so much money off the original. It was
a iconic, you know, fairytale, and they kind of ruined it.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
It's a fairytale. People like to escape into fairy tales.
None of us think that's the real world.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Same number to text eight eight eight six two four
for eight six nine. Uh. We will start this hour.
A couple of things to run through out of the
email one reoccurring over the weekend. Reoccurring email we must
address as a team answer to all kinds of questions.

(24:35):
They're stacked.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Hop no time.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
I've just picked out a couple right here, we're in
them all. Hey, Hey, what's the words? Let's go walks
in the studio. We're here, Let's go, Hey, we're walking
the show. No, heybird, heybird, the emails where standing, Tommy, Greg,

(24:59):
he wants you to to oh, I'm sorry. The very
first line, ricky idiot. If you use this, no names please,
Oh there you go. I'm sorry, buddy. The reason to date,
I have avoided a psycho girlfriend from Greenwood, Mississippi. Oh
years ago. She kept randomly yelling Speedy every time we
saw Greyhound. Maybe she had tourette's't, but she can't seem

(25:23):
to find me. This is for all of you, but
it is especially for Greg because this is his area.
I've been at a college baseball game like Speedy, and
now I'm watching the race from Martinsville. As I wind down,
I think I know why NASCAR is a declining sport.
Disney must be running it now. No, he says. In

(25:45):
pre race, I saw Michael Walter. Admittedly he's a tall man. Okay,
he was walking through the pit road talking to drivers,
and most of what I will call the metro drivers
that we have today, they don't even come up to
his belly button. You're right. I fast forward to the
back half, and all I hear after the race are
these little young, spoiled brats whining, including Joe Gibbs's grandson

(26:11):
Exhibit A, and he says, so, Greg, do you think
that the reason it's declining is this, this group of
drivers is undesirable to the NASCAR fan? You know, it
does seem I'm just talking about me personally. I came
up in the good old days when you had David
Pearson's smoking cigarettes there, and caution laps, you know, and

(26:32):
just tough guys that you know they're in the car.
They're just buckled in, they don't. You know. I'm not
saying that we shouldn't be safer. We should, but I'm
just saying it was a different breed and they came
up racing the dirt tracks and the small tracks. Now
they start developing these kids on them simulators when they're
fifteen years old, and you're right, I mean they're all
they're cookie cutter. I mean they look the same, they're

(26:53):
all real young, and like you said, they all seem
a little short. I know that has nothing to do
with anything data. You're all right, but I'm just saying
that's maybe that's better to fit in the car. So
let's take the height out and just let's just focus
on this book. To me their cookie cutter. They're just
and are they spoiled brat? I mean, I don't know
about that, are they? Are they more? Do they appeal
I'm just not. You just said that don't appeal to

(27:14):
you like the others did. But it's a generation they may.
But I'm from the old generation I'm from. I mean
we were at the Diggos twice a year as kids
watching Bobby Allison, Pears and Petty carryall all the greats.
So those those and they were all just rough and tough, nashy.
They got out, you know, they had all all over
their face, just like you, just like we said about

(27:34):
our day, no cool suit, they didn't have any of that.
It was it was telling how hot it was inside
that thing right in the middle of your sam. This
bunch is a little bit. They're the little softer, little
pandered too little baby. Well, you know it used to
be when it first started if you had like a
nineteen year old, I was like, wow, man, this guy's
nineteen years Now there's every one of them when they
come in. So the email you kind of agree that

(27:56):
cool I do from my generation.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah, okay, yeah, tell them just out of your yard.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
A couple of them grabbed some plumbs off my tree.
Didn't like it. You ain't gonna have another dale earnhard
this bunch. I'll tell you that. There it is and
there all right, we'll be right back hanging there.

Speaker 4 (28:15):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Morgan Wallen. Morgan Wallen apparently performed on Saturday Night Live. Uh,
controversy had already followed Morgan. You know, at one time
I thought the libs on Saturday Night Live would ban
Morgan Wallen forever.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
Yeah, he was, he was booked, and then the canceled
like the day before.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
That's right, That's right. Do you remember that it was
vaguely remember.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
That he was like canceled, I think even that weekend.
And so I think Dave Grohl stepped in. I forget something.
I'll look it up.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Okay. The bottom line is though Morgan Wallen's career is enormous.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Yes, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
By the way, I meant to tell you all this, Yeah,
I left out on my update when when I went
to the Great White North. How about when I was there,
Jelly Row was actually playing in Toronto. I saw Jelly
Rose eighteen Wheeler, Jealous, and then of course I saw
the I'm the problem. Morgan walling tour is coming there
too later. But anyway, so Morgan Wallen is huge, huge, huge, uh.

(29:22):
And so he he performed on Saturday Night Live. And
the controversy, which we don't really think it is, is
that he walked off the stage too early. The credits
weren't even over. He did this is at the end
when they all everybody. He didn't hang out with everybody
in this, in the cast and everybody on the stage.
He just thanked that after party. He thanked the host.

(29:45):
And then he put out on his social media, Uh,
you know, take me back to God's Country, and it
showed a picture of his plane. He was ready to
get out of New York. I don't know how to
break it. Everybody, if you live didn't he live in
Tennessee Nice. I don't know where you but if you
spent time in New York City, you are ready to go.

Speaker 7 (30:05):
There.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
And there he goes. He goes right down the middle.

Speaker 8 (30:07):
Their cares.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Nobody seems to care. Now are they trying to say,
are they trying to bring back some of the old
stuff with him? Well, he's showing once again, That's what
I'm wondering trying to go because I hope not, because
there's people of all ethnicities on SATA Night Live. Right.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
But now the headline makes it look like he stormed
off stage and said Thompson a bird at home, when
really you could tell he wasn't really sure what to do,
kind of like I'm a hug hugger and I'm out.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
You know what, He's probably ready to get on the
plane and get back home. No, I don't want to
hang out in the after party. What's wrong with that?
I think there's two things.

Speaker 6 (30:44):
You know.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
It's none of those people like him, That's what I
was going to say, there's two things in play here.
I actually think he was ready to go. I do
not think this was like his I do think he
is showing everybody. I came here, I performed, I did
my part. I'm out and I don't really like be here.
I don't like being in New York and I want
to get back home. Wrong with that? And so I

(31:04):
do think that is true. Now turning this into some
sort of giant snub I think is No. I don't
think he purposely to pread me walk off. I think
he was just show was over. He was done. He's
like I'm out, cryptic mess. I do think he was
saved to Saturday Night Live. I met my obligation. Everybody
who's in my PR team probably thinks I needed to

(31:25):
do this. It wasn't my favorite, nor is this place
my favorite. I'm out, and I think they've done of course,
you know, have thick skin when you're a celebrity. But
they've done skits. I believe that involves after all that controversy.
I think that I may be wrong. Yes, they have.
He was. He was.

Speaker 5 (31:44):
His first SNL appearance was canceled because he violated COVID protocols.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Is what it was out there. I know, my gosh,
the ones that were unnecessary and stupid. Yeah, and we're
not based on science at all. Right, so this is
the big thing here that he he has he has
just snubbed sare not live.

Speaker 6 (32:05):
He was.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
He was respectful the host.

Speaker 5 (32:10):
She said thank you, goodbye, thank y'all, and he was
sure to shake her hand or whatever, give us a little.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
He did a side hug to actually done and got
out of it.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Now that god does Trump's got a huge Yes he
is he is? It could is he leaving with that
look on his face like this is a party. I
don't want to attend anybody here, said the Tennessee valls
were about to tip off. He just wanted to get
see the game goes again. There. There may be listen

(32:43):
that this may be true. I mean, uh, you know,
get me back to God's country. I mean, he's got
Tennessee playing, He's got a lot to do, and so
for some reason, uh there, they think that he was
still upset or I don't know. I mean, like I said,

(33:03):
I mean just because I don't want to hang around
with you and spend the night here. I mean because
I know half of you probably don't like me. Anyway.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
It is customary to hang out on the stage and
go through all the cast members shake hands like, oh
we did it.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
You know that is customary. So he broke custom there
a little bit.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
How dare him?

Speaker 3 (33:21):
Yeah, he broke that custom just like he broke the
COVID protocols.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Right, but you never should have done. So there you go.
All right, so we'll be back. That's a good one.
We'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
This is the Rick Burgers Show.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
From the text line, you know that you're really bad
when Morgan Wallin won't even attend your party. That's boy,
that is good public the stunt just to get more views,
this is just making Morgan Wallen even more popular. That's
a good one too. He is a huge Tennessee fan.
He was trying to get be done with that and
and get on with his business. So anyway, it's it

(34:12):
is going to be. It's a big story and a
lot of people are talking about it, and for Morgan
Wallen and his fans, probably a good thing. I do
not believe that walking off Saturday Night Live set, what
some people have deemed to be early and abrupt, is
going to hurt Morgan Wallin's fan base. Oh No, in
any way, shape or form. I think it's just gonna

(34:33):
make it even bigger. Ye. So, especially trying to to
get back to God's Country and uh and to get
back to watching the balls. They were defeated though unfortunately
for him and Bass fans. All right. So then, as
far as another thing, speaking of sports, what is the
deal with the New York Yankees and their torpedo bats

(34:54):
huge over the weekend? Are they really a competitive advantage?
The Yankees hit fifteen home runs in the first three
games of the season, nine in the first game alone,
nine nine. We had thirty six runs in three games.
Can I tell you what was what was hilarious is

(35:15):
when somebody I saw when the Yankees that first game,
and somebody said, if you're wondering about the torpedo bats,
the Yankees already have eight home runs. Yeah, eight home
runs in the game and went on to have nine.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
So and I think Judge has four home runs already.
But some are calling them torpedo bats, some bowling pin
bats because it's where the label is. There's more wood,
which makes them wider, and then they tape off towards
the end versus the normal barrel, which has the same
width all the way to the end. And so the
concept is there's more wood, there's more mass at the

(35:48):
label where the hitter is actually hitting the ball, and
it's the results are pretty impressive. Now, some companies have
had this bat, like Victus and others, and uh, they're
the Yankees aren't the only team. There's a couple of
players throughout the league that that are are using them.
But uh, the Yankees went out and they hired an

(36:10):
M I. T guy to to design these bats, and
they've come up with something. And Major League Baseball says
they're they're they're legal.

Speaker 6 (36:19):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
And and and another concept because you see where the
bat is water. We're showing an am looking at it
right now.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Yah, bowling pin is exactly what it looks like.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
What what is so unique is if you've ever gone
out a lot of people and bought golf clubs. Okay, uh,
some of them you can go and just get them
out of a box, but some go to a fitter
and they actually go, okay, you need this shaft, you
need this, you know whatever. They can design golf clubs
just for you according to your swing. Where they're saying

(36:48):
a lot this might lead is these batters, and you
know they all have different endorsements where you know, they
have different bat companies and manufacturers that provide bats, and
and they use those bats. But instead of just having
the barrel the way they normally are, they with this
torpedo of this wood, it can design where okay, you

(37:10):
normally hit the ball on this portion of the bat
all the time, you just consistently, so they can design
the wood to be thicker at that at that point,
but here it's just the standard.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
It's thicker. Where the label is more wood, more mass,
and and the ball is reacting, Well, you've hit it.
They said, really that the conspiracy theory that there's some
New York Yankee bat making laboratory. In verse, they're joking
around in the story saying, underneath the number four train,
it's not true. It's more individual. Like you said, yeah,

(37:43):
players that have individual bat designers. Now it has to
be they all have to meet the specs yeah, of
Major League Baseball. Yeah, but slightly different models. Yeah. So
they're saying the Yankees shortstop who Anthony is it? Vulp
v O l P. He is off to a really

(38:03):
hot start with the bat. He's got home runs in
the first two games. He said, I know I'm bought
in the bigger You can have the barrel where you
hit the ball speeded to your point, it makes sense
to me. So then it goes into what you just said.
Different batters tend to hit the ball in different places
on the bat. You're a bat designer to you just
said speed. He says, here's where you usually hit the ball.

(38:25):
Let's make that part bigger. And they just moved the
mast to wherever you normally seem to connect and let's
give you a little more lift. When we were at
Airport grocery getting a bite to eat. That story is
coming up, by the way.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
JC looked at me and said that have you seen
how the Yankees started the game against the Brewers? And
I said, now, Buddy, I don't think I have. He
said that it was three home runs on three consecutive pitches.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
It was insane.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
This is them talking about on the broadcast.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
Yeh, all right, here we go.

Speaker 7 (38:53):
Now you see the shape of Chisholm's bat too.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
It's got a big barrel on it.

Speaker 7 (38:57):
Well, it's actually a little bit lower than the barrel.
The Yankee front office, the analytics department did a study
on on Anthony Bulpi and single ball.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
It seemed like he hit on the label.

Speaker 7 (39:12):
He didn't hit any on the barrel. So they had
bats made up where they moved a lot of the
wood into the label. So the harder part of the
bat is going to actually strike the ball.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it may mask, it does move
it to where you're actually connecting with the ball. Yeah,
So that does make sense. And the right right in
the loading dot drill did good night til Sarah do
say uh?

Speaker 2 (39:42):
The Yankees night home run of the day and night
they did it again.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Well, that's a we those bats you are about to
get real, real popular. But it sounds like it's not
just one person you're trying to I guess you want
your manufacturers. You make me one too, right, And there's
some even victims sports even put something I think out
on Instagram of their torpedo bat or whatever. So there's

(40:10):
a number of manufacturers that have them. The Yankees are
just the first team to really go like, we're all in.
Could you do a lot of the players, could you
do something like this? I guess you could with an
aluminum bat.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
For college.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
I don't know about that. Yeah, I mean, I'm assuming
you know, more masks on anything is going to do better.
But I do the wood though. It just seems like
you could do a little different. And the reason I'm sorry,
do you remember the milk jug bat somebody said on
texts and Softball in the eighties, I don't. I don't
remember that along all the way, I guess it was.

Speaker 5 (40:43):
Yeah, from what I was seeing is that the reason
they were able to get away with this is because
the implication of the smooth taper. The word smooth doesn't
necessarily mean it doesn't vary and go back to being
smaller towards the end from what I understand. So, uh,

(41:04):
you could you could read the rules to say that
this is not okay, or you could read the rules
to say that it is okay.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
And so they're leaning towards it's okay.

Speaker 6 (41:13):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Ye?

Speaker 1 (41:14):
Major League Baseball says that they're wow.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
And somebody had said, I can't wait till the All
Star break when they have the home run dirt. Oh
my goodness, yea me leaving the stadium for sure.

Speaker 5 (41:25):
Are you gonna surprised it took this long for them
to get some i T engineers to look at this
and ask this question.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
You know, I think I think it's just such a
different time. It kind of goes back to Greg's rant
about NASCAR drivers. I think there was a time that
the players went and picked up a bat and got
out there and whacked at it, and they went head
to head with the pictures, and the pictures went after
the batters, and they they wouldn't have never even thought
that deep into it.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
They didn't check up.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Yeah, they would have been like, use the bats we
got and let's get out.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
There and make I mean, and the fact that the
manufacturers some of them already like manufactured this bat, but
now you're seeing it like be adopted by all Right,
the Yankees were all in, this is our research, and
this is the results. And I think I read, I
think maybe there's a few more players on different teams
that that kind of have this too. But man, what

(42:16):
an impressive weekend. I mean to read the stats again, crazy,
You've got the Yankees fifteen home runs in the first
three games, nine in the first game. Judge has four,
and they scored thirty six runs in three games.

Speaker 1 (42:28):
So the question everybody's asking is it really an advantage
or the Yankees just playing well and they just happen
to have these bats. Well, you remember, don't forget when
Roy hobbs and they checked wonder Boy out. Yes they did,
and it was legal. Yeah, they thought they had Roy.
And granted he blew the stadium up when he had
a home run, Yes he did. I love that movie, Greg,
Be careful with this movie. I love this love the

(42:50):
movie too. At the end, just be careful with it.
The blowing up lives bothered me. Okay, it's a great movie,
one of my favorite baseball movies. Me too. You know
what they thought they had wonder Boy that they is
le legal if they checked him out, and what was
at the center of the movie. Of course it cost
him when he's on the train and the psycho that
that is going to is out to murder the Babe

(43:11):
Ruth character. Yes, he's the best player at the time,
and and Roy realizes she realized Roy's it is better.
And Roy makes the mistake. But I get what he's saying.
I want to be the best there ever was? And
she looks at him, big statement for him, Will you
be the best there ever was? And he said I
believe so. And she said, well what then? And then

(43:32):
he said it, Well, for the rest of my life,
every time I walk by, somebody will say, well, there
goes Roy Hobbes, the best there was. So she turned
from from the whammer to Roy. Unfortunately that costs Roy.
But but what a what a statement.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
And that's the movie major league right?

Speaker 1 (43:49):
No, the Natural Rookie of the Year is that?

Speaker 8 (43:53):
What?

Speaker 1 (43:54):
The Natural is a grill movie? What a great movie? Fisher?
Are you kidding? The oh can't get a nut? Wilford Brimley. Ye,
come on, Bob Fisher, that's a great I should have
been a farmer back. This is the Rick Burgess Show,

(44:17):
all right, So a couple of things tomorrow, be paying attention.
We'll have everything up and ready to go for you
to if you'd like to enter your mom and make
mam a smile again, that's doctor Dudney with a dental makeover.
And so we were having a discussion at the house
over the weekend, and it's an ongoing joke. How are

(44:40):
you know European brothers and sisters, especially Great Britain, don't
seem to have the commitment to straight, nice teeth and
white teeth as the Americans do, apparently looking at this
and Sherry and I literally had this discussion. So we
were watching some sort of British show. Oh you know, sure,

(45:00):
he likes these British show things, and everybody that was
talking either had this colored teeth or crooked teeth, even
wealthy people. Okay, so it's not a it's not a
and I know it's the dental there is is government
run and all that, but really we got into a
discussion that it really was not priority there as it

(45:24):
has it was for Americans, that Americans almost are the
innovators of all dental things, and that's why you see
it here. So this is interesting because you know, we
have this ongoing thing about fluoride in cavities, too much bad,
too little, so you've got teeth problems. And today the

(45:45):
state of Utah apparently has become the first state to
ban fluoride in drinking water. Florida, Ohio, and South Carolina
are considering similar legislation. And what I kind of gathered,
I'm not sure that Dudney's all in on this. Dunney
seems to think, you know, the having a little bit

(46:06):
of fluoride helps the health, according to the last two
Times of the American Society, but too much of anything
like fluoride can be problematic. You talk saying they're going
to get rid of it all together in drinking water.

Speaker 5 (46:20):
Yeah, I thought, just because it's been everywhere. You hear
RFK talking about it every time he gets on TV.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
I guess that's what he said.

Speaker 5 (46:28):
I brought it up when Dunney was here last time,
and I thought Dunney did a great job of handling that.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
He talked about how yeah, a little push back.

Speaker 5 (46:35):
He talks about the benefits, and then he talked about
you can't have too much, and he also talked about
the different kinds. The naturally occurring fluoride which is naturally
occurring in a lot of water, and then the kind
that they add.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
So I thought he did a great job with that.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 5 (46:49):
You guys acted like I pressed him or something. I
rarely asked him what was in the public the public discourse.
He did a great job handling it and talked about
it in a level headed, factual way, which which is
what I wanted.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
I was wondering, I was asking questions.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
He did not like that he heard you using toothpaste
with no flora. That is not He didn't like that.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
That's not I didn't tell him that. I didn't want
him to know that, so I didn't tell him that.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
Yes, I thought we had a discussion about it.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
You did, all right, don't want to hear this package
or what?

Speaker 1 (47:32):
Yeah, I guess he has become the Use.

Speaker 6 (47:38):
Has become the first state to ban fluoride drinking water.
It's pushing past opposition from some dentists and health organizations
who warned that the move could lead to medical problems
for some people. Republican Governor Spencer Cox signed the legislation
on Thursday, barring cities and communities from deciding whether to

(47:58):
add the mineral to their water so them. Associated Press
says that Florida, Ohio, and South Carolina are considering similar measures.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
That courtesy of fog. Good grief. It's just the guy
that does the preveraging commercial.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
At four o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
Lord, we didn't mean to bother you with this news.
The first fountain the show was looked like from the seventies,
I did. I found that thing. Would anybody any I
mean of y'all drink out of like old water fountains
sitting on the side of the park. And he's been
a minute, I remember, I can Yeah, they're still out there,

(48:33):
is anybody? Will anybody go over and just take a
pop on? You know some people put their mouth over Now.
Look if I if I'm homeless, sure I'll do it.
But I'm saying you just listen. That was a part
of my dated routine when I was a kid. Everywhere
water fountains were. I remember walking down the hall. Look,

(48:54):
if there was too long a line in front of
the water fountain, won't have too much pressure squirting your face.

Speaker 2 (48:59):
The key to hit it and let it go for
a little bit, So pull off because at first few, really,
if you're real thirsty, that first little squirts hot.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
Yes, and you see that because it's been sitting in
that pope. And then Boo might have his mouth on it.
Boo might have his mouth on that one didn't have
enough pressure, Yeah, Boo might put his mouth down there
on it. My favorite was the one you just do
that had the little step thing. You just stepped on
it and it came up.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
Needed a good art, oh God, to have a good
arc on it, for sure.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
Anybody drinking out of those anymore, they have them. Yeah.
I see them every now and then. Every now and
then I'll be at some sort of park or whatever,
and sharing I'll be on some little walk or whatever.
I look at wround go wow, there's a water fountain.
Nobody gonna hit that. You don't drink that when it's here. No, No,
I've seen him tearing off the wall very fourth time.
It's right there at the bath. It's out there in
the is it work? Yes, the place you feel there

(49:47):
is for you to go hit that.

Speaker 5 (49:49):
For some reason, I feel ok about the water bottle filler,
but I probably shouldn't. I feel like I feel like
people probably touch their nasty bottle to that thing.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
But there was a time we didn't care about that.
We were just a tougher people. Ye. We all shared
water fountains.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
You have to have them, which it's like code.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
Like building, we sack out of a hose pipe for peace.
So the new dare, because we're so soft, is that
you go drink out of the water. What if you
got shot? The only thing this more dogs, you gotta
go do great. The other thing more daunting than a
water fountain still existing is here at the building. We've
positioned it between the two bathrooms. My goodness, you.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
Know you know what that was, Greg, You gotta do
it now, look at it.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
I want that tongue out to everybody's filtering water.

Speaker 6 (50:41):
Now.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
You remember we used to go drink whatever was available,
either out of the falset or either out of the fountain.
You drank your water and you moved on. Yeah, so
what but I'm telling you if you if we remove
floor ride completely, we're gonna go to yat mouth. Jack
flu has been good to our teeth too. Toopless, I
don't know, and small mounce.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
I heard it was doing something to the frogs. You
know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (51:03):
Oh, boy and all fairness. So frogs don't have cavities.

Speaker 5 (51:07):
They don't have cavities yet, I don't know. I'm glad
Dudney addressed it and went of him.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
It wasn't a confrontation.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
For a minute, I thought.

Speaker 4 (51:24):
It wasn't.

Speaker 8 (51:25):
Tm Z.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
Let me ask you this before that segment. Did you
go up to doctor Dudney and go, I'm to ask
about florid kind of give him my heads up? No? No,
you know you onside.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
I didn't lie. He's a dentist, he knows about this
stuff inside.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
Didn't you mean faced him?

Speaker 3 (51:40):
I didn't mean to face him.

Speaker 1 (51:44):
Everybody, It's in the news.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
It's in the news on every single website you see.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
He's our friend, he's our friends talking about the dies
and the flora.

Speaker 1 (51:54):
Frogs.

Speaker 7 (51:55):
Day.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
I just wanted to know if brother Day or not.
Doesn't He looked at me like, can he get out
of that little be dangerous?

Speaker 4 (52:02):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, Thanks.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
For being with us. From the text line, Adler treated
Doctor Dudney like Rosie o'donald treated Tom Sellick.

Speaker 3 (52:18):
What happened there?

Speaker 1 (52:20):
You don't know about that old thing when tom Selick
she attacked him over Tom Sellick in the Second Amendment
and the way Tom Selick felt about guns and the
right to bear arms and hunting and all that. You
don't remember that horrible moment.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
No, I didn't know about that. Probably when that happen.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
It's when Rosie o'donald became that fun loving, kind of
chubby girl that's that we all thought was funny, and
she turned into the angry Rosie that we now know
now it all turned right there. It's a very famous moment.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
I bet that was the beginning of the end of
her show. Then too, she started getting angry. That was
on the Rosie Show.

Speaker 8 (52:53):
It was.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
So anyway, a lot of people felt like that he
was ambushed, sorry for.

Speaker 3 (53:00):
Asking a dentist about fluoride.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
Yeah, how dare you? So we start the hour looking
back over the weekend. So many little weekend things and
we'll hit we'll mix those in throughout the day. We've
had a lot of headlines and updated and all that.
Speedy made his way to Cleveland, Mississippi this weekend. Watch

(53:22):
watch one of his sons play a little ball. Yeah,
and he was told before he left that he absolutely
must must must. I'm already getting this from Missouri to
people tell me ribs that Cherry and I are supposed
to eat and all that. But anyway, I love when
the audience says, if you're going somewhere, here's what you
need to eat. We love y'all for that. It's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
I'm already getting emails. I'm going to Jackson, Tennessee this weekend.
People are already telling me where to eat there.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
Okay about Jackson's going to jack Shane got a heard
pretty funny Jackson Tennessee story, but I'll hold it. I've
heard that easy. But anyway, Airport Grocery, yuh was this
place where Speedy was told that he must eat must now.
Of course, as usual, Speedy can't do anything apparently without

(54:11):
something uncomfortable happening. No, yeah, would you like to would
you like to share?

Speaker 2 (54:14):
Well, I was wondering when we were going to go,
you know, I mean, because I come in late Friday.
I'm barely pulling up for games actually a little late,
so I knew it wasn't there and the game was
going to.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
Go along and all that.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
So I'm like, do I do in early lunch? I'd
love for jay C to go, but we're playing on it.
He can't go and on the back of anybody's going
to try to get home. And then the rain came
and pushed the game back a little bit. That was
scheduled for Saturday, and then it was announced it's canceled today.
We're going to play tomorrow free Saturday with my first

(54:48):
thing you thought of, Yeah, so exactly. So jac texted
me and said, hey, have you eaten? I said no,
let's go. Let's go, and so I go by to
their hotel pick him up, and we had we had
to airport grocery.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
We're at a hotel. Someone, I'm so sorry these to
tells Matthew becoming you and you're now me. Yeah, you
at you a different hotel. Yes, okay, you'd like your room? Yeah,
yeah it was. It wasn't bad at all. You're comfortable. Yeah,
I mean I could see the stadium from where I
will feel pretty good to be kind of. Yeah. Did
it really did? Okay, it really did?

Speaker 2 (55:20):
Uh? So I go by pick him up and uh
and we go and we we we caught it perfect man.
Even even the rain stop while we were pulling up
because it had been pouring.

Speaker 1 (55:29):
All that crowd down a little bit make thee a
little bit. We let me just tell you something. We
hit it right.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
If you've ever gone out to eat and you get
seated and ordered and and then here comes everybody, Yes,
and you're like eleven thirty okay, eleven thirty. Uh. We
were both starving. He had eaten a light breakfast and
I really hadn't eaten much at all either. Wish the
hotel had better breakfast. But all right, and so what

(55:56):
we pull up and we sit down and it's a
really cool restaurant. I mean it's it's got a little
bit of everything. It's got some of your old signs
in there, your Coca Colas, I love stuff my plate,
they're they're honey and sugaring you today.

Speaker 1 (56:12):
This is from our booth. I'm kind of giving you
are places stuff everywhere.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Uh huh and uh and stop go back just a
little bit. Uh that that Yeah, that couple right there
with a bald guy. They will come into play in
a few minutes.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
He has no idea, just trying to enjoy slun So.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
What we're there, and I bet you were not there
more than maybe five minutes. And we're looking at the
menu and a gentleman comes up Uh. At first I
thought maybe he was just the welcoming party. You know
some restaurants come by, Hey, welcome all this kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (56:49):
You see.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
You waitress asked what we want to be seated or
grab your own booth? Well, no, we we wait to
be seated. That hey, let's go sit over here. But
luckily we had caught it to where it was perfect.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (56:59):
And so we sit down and the guy comes up
and says, here, are you speedy? And I said, uh,
you know, you never know really how to answer that.
I said yes, sir. He goes, hey, man, love the
show and everything, and we had a very good conversation.
His name was Craig, and his family was there. They
were at another area of the restaurant, and uh, we
hit it off. We talked a little bit, and then

(57:21):
he went on his way. He said, hey, well look
I don't want to bother well you not bother me whatever,
And so then we go ahead, we order, uh and
we'll get into that in a minute.

Speaker 1 (57:29):
But we eat.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
We actually had we played pool prior to eating. Now,
there was some pool tables there. Yeah, a little little
time killer there before the uh, before the pork bites
came out.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
You kidding me. It's good to be a gentile basket
of joy.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
Uh And and so we we ate those and we
sat down and we ate and and I was getting
ready to you know, wrap it up, and it was
it was about time.

Speaker 1 (57:57):
He needed to get on back. And he had to
you know these now these classes everything's online school work.

Speaker 2 (58:04):
Yeah, he had he had a test that he had
to have complete by a certain time. He's like, it
actually works out good. I got some dead dead time,
so I'll go back and do that. So we were
wrapping up and I said, hey, it's time. Can I
Can I get the check? And the waitress said, well,
your bill has already been paid a miracle, then it

(58:25):
will take dessert, you know. And I said, do what
she said, Yeah, you're your Your ticket's already been taken
care of, and you're kidding me. And and I thought, well,
maybe the gentleman I met earlier. I'm trying to think,
you know, because some people they don't want to be recognized.
They do it on the way out and you don't
even know who it was.

Speaker 3 (58:45):
That's how I am.

Speaker 1 (58:46):
This is where this is where cheap speeding now battles
over greeting speed. These two are there because over greeting speed,
he can't let this go right. So I guess you saw.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
And if for those of you can't see, there was
a little divider by the we were sitting in and
a little half wall kind of and and I said, uh, well,
do you can you tell me who bought us lunch?
And she said uh, And she didn't want to get busted,
but she said that guy right there balled with beer.
And she said yeah, in the light and the ball
men sticking together and in the light, his head's real

(59:17):
white and the light blue and the light blue shirt there.
And I was like, oh wow, okay, well okay, so
right there he said yeah, right there.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
I was like okay. So jay C was like, hamn
go run use the restroom and and then let's let's
let's head out. I said, okay.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
So when he was coming back, it's like, hey, maybe
we should go thank him. He goes, yeah, let's just
go thank him?

Speaker 1 (59:38):
Was Jesse and S's business. Yeah he was, I mean,
because it was very very general. He's been through this,
he grew up in this. Yeah. Nothing. Uh and so
we walk up and uh, and this is where it
goes bad. We walk up and I could I could
just stop. I think I have a feeling I kind
of know what's about to happen. Uh huh, And I

(01:00:00):
don't want to be rushed. Okay, okay, I want to
stop right here. All right, Okay, Well, what can I
just tell you?

Speaker 6 (01:00:06):
It was?

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
They had they had a little baby.

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
With him and on the other side of the wife there.
Uh and they were in a little bit of a
little bitty booth. He's kind of loud and that sound
just a lot of clanking and going on, and you know, right,
and so you know, I had to come in with
some volume because if not, he wouldn't be able to
hear it. You're loud, oh yeah, and loud and very thankful.

Speaker 4 (01:00:32):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
What of the last? All right, so let's pick it up.
Speedy is in Cleveland, Mississippi, going to watch his one
of his son's play college baseball rain out on Saturday.

Speaker 6 (01:00:51):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:00:52):
So he and his son have gone to where all
of you told them to go, Airport Grocery. Speedy has
been given the gift of someone who supports the show
appreciates all speed he's done for society, has has taken
care of Speedy's check, Speedy's living in his perfect world.

(01:01:12):
Ye believe it. But then over greeting, Speedy begins to
conquer cheap Speedy Speedy can I must, I must find
the person who not just let it go. I got
to give him a big thank you before I leave.
Comes from a good place. Most of the awkward things
you do, they all come from a great place.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
If somebody, uh, decides to pick up your check and
you discover that as you're checking out, yes, and you
find out who it is, I think it's only right
to go over and say thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
Absolutely probably needs to be the right person that you're
You're going to have it at a level there goes
he's going to He does appreciate it. He does there nobody,
nobody appreciates anything that he appreciates it at a six
and he brings in on eleven exactly yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:01:59):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
So I walk up to uh and and and j
C is flanking my right, and uh, I walk up
to him and and I think, just mid bite that
the guy is making on I think.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
His hamburger steak, which you look delicious, can't.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
Miss it there, And I said, uh, hey, and and
I should have stopped when I think I startled him.

Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
So he jumped.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
Yeah, he's jumped with a fork in his mouth, you know.
And his wife covered his his their their child up,
you know, because you don't know nowadays.

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
And I said, hey, he just kind of looked at me,
you know, mouthful. I said, I'm Speedy, good one Mississippi two,
Mississippi three, missip.

Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
Yeah, confused he is. He's kind of confused. Your name
is Speedy. That's confusive enough, right, And I said, you
don't even look Mexican, all right, see boy? And I said,
I said, hey, man, thank you. He's still still confused now.

Speaker 7 (01:03:08):
To leave.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
I'm beat red. I'm sure. And I said, did you
did you did you pay my for my lunch? Did
you pick up my ticket? Huh? And I said, uh,
you want to disappeared? I said, did you did you
pay for my ticket? That shure was nice?

Speaker 2 (01:03:25):
And he said he said no. And this is where
I should have just said I'm sorry. For some reason,
I asked him if he was sure, like like he
didn't know if he did it or not because somebody well,
because what was confusing is the waitress pointed him out.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
Okay, that's important. That's why I was like, are you sure,
because I mean, it's like, surely, but I think I
think smity that are you sure? Should have been for
the waitress, not him. I should have probably gone back,
I think he knows. Yeah. So then I turned around
and I wandered around like I was lost in the desert. Yeah.

(01:04:10):
J C was even halfway finished with his dessert. He's like,
can I go back and finish? You want to leave?
Did you also want to thank the person walking around
staring at everybody and They're like staring at me?

Speaker 3 (01:04:24):
Did you shoot a dirty luck to the lady grin?

Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
I'm like, yeah, what did you do to the waitress?
Did you go back and deal with it?

Speaker 6 (01:04:32):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:04:33):
No, because I mean to her, I mean because I
asked her.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
I said it was part of taking care of the ticket,
where you tipped and everything, because I didn't want to think,
you know, I.

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
Didn't want to.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
She said, oh no, they did everything. They tipped me
and everything. I said, So we're good. I mean I
couldn't believe it. It made the middle of the battery.

Speaker 7 (01:04:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
So so then so j C's finishing up his dessert
and I'm still looking around, you know, just making an
intact with I'm scared because you don't want to do
it again.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
I don't and then you try again.

Speaker 2 (01:05:05):
Coming from the back of the restaurant, it's Craig who
I met early on Okay, and I looked at him
as he was walking.

Speaker 1 (01:05:13):
By, and I said, you're gonna try it again? I did.
I said, thank because you already knew. Craig kind of
sort of. I said, did you buy did you buy
her lunch?

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
And he said yeah, because I'm out you found out
because I didn't want to be loud again and he
said yes, and I said, are you serious?

Speaker 5 (01:05:29):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
This is where I should have just thank you, But
I'm hitting my knees trying to get out of there.

Speaker 3 (01:05:42):
This guy, everybody, everybody, this gun and.

Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
The original guys, like how many more people's gonna ask
if they bought his lunch? Somebody a fast up as
you're trying to get somebody to do it, and and.

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
Of course you know they'll pack him in there, big
table right there, bumping some old man in the bike.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
Get out of my way. Come here. Cort stopped and
I said, hey, man, you didn't have to do that,
And man, I love the show. Y'all have been so great,
blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
His family and his wife and his young child was
there there with somebody else in the back, and I
said could we take a picture and he went huh,
And I said I'd love to take a picture because
I know this is going to.

Speaker 1 (01:06:22):
Yeah, and he goes, well, yeah, I guess so.

Speaker 2 (01:06:24):
So then I tracked down the waitress that got it wrong,
did you, well, you know what I was familiar. He
and Adler has a picture of us standing together. He
had kind of a blue shirt on. Well, she got
blue shirts mixed up. There's more to a person than
what color of the shirt, right, I agree, And I said, well,
I'd love to have a picture with you a document.

Speaker 1 (01:06:43):
Well that's not blue, it's kind of yeah, it's not
just went yeah. So she got it wrong, but got
jacking on.

Speaker 2 (01:06:54):
But yeah, because I came in it was raining, and
as we were leaving, I put it back on because
it was still rain.

Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
That's why it was. I did not do not run.
Do not run, Do not run. And I truly believe
all stuff like this makes me uncomfortable. If I would
have been the guy he asked that, even though I didn't,
I would have told him, well, you're welcome. I would
you can't take somebody? Are you gonna let this guy

(01:07:20):
be embarrassed? You ready for this?

Speaker 3 (01:07:22):
Those bacon bites or whatever, they those.

Speaker 1 (01:07:24):
Were port bites and they were delicious. You and your
son played pool.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
You know what I did is the lady said, hey,
there's some pool tables over there and everything. And the
guy said, hey, it's it's it's excellent food, but don't
be in a hurry. And so I was like, I
was like, Okay, we'll go play a couple of games
or whatever. And and so we're over there and then
the appetizer came out and she said, you want to
put this at the table? Y'all just want to eat here.

(01:07:50):
And we're like, well we'll eat here, yes you will,
And so we ate the appetizer while playing pool, and
then and then went and sat down.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
It was perfect and you made do you think you did?
Jc like it? After a whooping that buttle. Here's two
things that I think happened here. And I'm sorry, Speedy.
I think you mortified the guy who didn't pay you.
You you were you weird to hissed out. And then
you brought the guy who wanted to do this anonymously.
Now you brought him into the light.

Speaker 2 (01:08:17):
Yeah, I know, I know, and I shouldn't have. J
C went with barbecue Nacho's delicious. I went with the
chili cheeseburger and coleslaw.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
It was to die for.

Speaker 2 (01:08:29):
As good as that burger had no chance. It was
totally different presentation. But it didn't have beans, which were
important to me.

Speaker 1 (01:08:36):
I didn't want beans in mind. Sorry for those bean lovers. No,
it didn't. It wasn't a gut bomb. I was surprised.
Luckily we didn't have to go to the game.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
Now, luckily some friends of ours, Oh, yeah, that that
was what j C ate half of And then I
made him get up and go take a picture. But look,
some of the other parents had gone back for some
of the other parents had gone the night before, Knowles
and the others, and they knew what they had gotten,

(01:09:05):
the barbecue nachos, and so we knew going in.

Speaker 1 (01:09:09):
You know, you know me with decisions. Everybody about it.
Yeah what are you getting? You know how many times?
And my favorite part is when you say what you're
getting and it makes some magicals. He don't like that.
So when you don't have to get it, you don't have.
What are you worry about about that?

Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
But here's what made it tough is that some restaurants
that you you know, Hey, this is what's really good
here there, everything's good.

Speaker 1 (01:09:33):
You didn't know, so you can't miss, But yet you
also want to hit it right. Were you happy with
your order? I was. I was very happy. She is bigger,
she says, was free. It was bigger? Yeah, wow, yeah, yeah,
I liked it a little bigger, like a pretty small
dip on that potatoe. Yeah, okay, but.

Speaker 7 (01:09:49):
It was it was.

Speaker 1 (01:09:50):
It was really really good. I hate that it was.
There was so much controversy there, disturbance within the restaurant. Hey,
thanks for buying us lun You turned the restaurant upside down.
I did I wish you to woke their baby up?
He was sleeping.

Speaker 5 (01:10:04):
And when you came over there, Hey, when the waiter
gave you your food and they said, enjoy your meal,
did you say you too?

Speaker 4 (01:10:15):
This is the Rick Burgess show.

Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
So speedy. When you were in Cleveland, you ate it
Airport grocery, like everybody asked. Incredibly awkward moments when someone
bought your to lunch, uh, and you thank the wrong
person for it very awkward leaving, JC said, well, I
was awkward, leading leading with the uncomfortable. I'm speedy. Uh hey, hey,

(01:10:43):
I'm speedy. How are we all?

Speaker 4 (01:10:46):
Silent?

Speaker 1 (01:10:46):
Silence? So did y'all buy my lunch? And they were
just so confused and I'm just so sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
And then I hope I didn't scare the wife too
much because she covered the baby even and then you.

Speaker 1 (01:10:59):
And then when then you, then you double drunk. Then
you doubled down by finding the actual person correct and
bringing them into the.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
Line right and then and you know, knock my knee
on the on the seat trying to get out, just
to thank him and take a picture which we I
put on my Instagram story.

Speaker 1 (01:11:15):
And you just wanted to thank him, is all. You know.
It's standard to pay this forward. We have a terrible
feeling the chain is broken. Hey, that's not true. Stop it.
We will give you a chance to buy somebody's lunch
this week. I'm thinking about maybe you use your own
money since this happened, and that way you pay it forward.
During during the Speedy buy me Lunch segment, Oh oh,

(01:11:36):
let me ask you that it's a perfect opportunity for
it okay to pay to pay for it. When you
found the real person who paid, did you take him
over to the guy and just to go, look, somebody
did actually pay. I'm not just stipping question because this
guy paid for I thought it was you. That's a wait,
that's on the waitress, But he did pay for us.
I don't think I was just making up people buying
my foot.

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
I think the waitress was extremely confused because I asked
her if she could take our picture and she said yes,
and then we had that awkward stand there for like
a few minutes because she was finishing up with a table.
Oh and I didn't have anybody else, you know, to
take a picture. And I think she was confused as
to why we wanted a picture because I think she
didn't realize that was the guy she thought.

Speaker 1 (01:12:15):
You never care that I didn't. I didn't her fault.
I did. If you wanted to complete the circle, you
should have asked the guy that you were wrong about
to take the picture of you and the guy you
ride about That had been perfect.

Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
But this place where you and I heard from a
lot of you that that are going through. You know
that the delta of Mississippi, which is Cleveland Mississippi, Homa
Delta State. A lot of you have visited this area,
some of you haven't, but have I asked? Okay, I
might in the future tell me more about it. But
it was a point of conversation between all the parents

(01:12:50):
because everybody kind of went at different times, and so
during some downtime, pre game or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:12:56):
It's like, have you gone, and it's like, yes, have
you gone? What did you get? Uh? And man, it
was just jealous. It was so good. I thought, is
it foul to go there for lunch and dinner? I
thought it might be too something different. Yeah, but I
definitely I thought about it a lot. I mean a lot,
but it was. It was maybe somebody would have bought

(01:13:17):
your mill again, you don't know. Yeah, I just can't
explain what makes it so good. But it's just so good.
But you would like to free you like that of
my plate? Now?

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
Then the barbecue nacho's that JC had, it feels it
was spilling over what what?

Speaker 1 (01:13:30):
What was too small? Your actual burger? Yeah? I like
bigger and potato salad helping a little small coast law. Yeah,
it was it was okay, I mean he was lunch
you half a dip you like to see a full day,
just a little bit. What else you get fries or something?
What else? That That's what I'm saying. Okay, you know,
did you ever hear you're right going and buying the

(01:13:51):
guy who you thought about your lunch? Just go ahead
and buy you know? I didn't. I didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
I wanted to get I wanted to run away from
that guy. They got on him and scared him so
much that I just I was. I wasn't too sure.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
But some of the.

Speaker 2 (01:14:05):
Listeners, I know, y'all Tyler talking about deut State. But
some listeners had suggested a good travel route which is
not complicated from the Birmingham market where we were coming from,
because you could go two different ways.

Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
And a couple reached out. One said, hey, no, I
make this route a lot. This is what you need
to do.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
And let me just say thank you, sir, hey, thank you.
I was I was literally time have you ever been
Have you ever raced against your maps? Time suggested like
when you're going to.

Speaker 1 (01:14:38):
Get the like, oh, I can beat that, I can
beat that. I always beat it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:41):
And the time kept just just ticking back back back,
and I'm like, hey, this is nice. So I ended
up making it in like four hours and five minutes,
which originally had been like four thirty five, and got
there like midway through the first inning of the first
game on Friday.

Speaker 1 (01:14:57):
So it wasn't bad. It wasn't bad at all. You know,
what did you do for dinner? Okay, because it's an
awkward moment, but well, complain about a burgery didn't even
pay for it. I'm not if that's complaining. It was delicious.
What I'm saying is, you know, we all we all
have we've all rubbed off on each other. Okay, so

(01:15:19):
now I'm becoming the person because you know, we've all
done these things before. Your your solo. It's just you, Yeah, traveling.
Your son now is gone to do homework. Uh huh,
so you don't have any responsibility because he needs you
to do that. Yeah. So now you're solo at your
hotel room and y'all don't play till the next day.

Speaker 6 (01:15:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:15:35):
Well, there was talk when when I'd like to know
what you did for dinner?

Speaker 2 (01:15:38):
When I was dropped him back off at the hotel,
there was conversation of how you want to hook back
up for dinner, and he said, yeah, I'll let you know,
and then he let me know that that coach said
the team had to eat together. They were they were,
which that's fine. But when he let me know that,
some of the other deads had already gone and eaten.
So I was, you know, I'm like, okay, I'm by myself,
which is fine. So I was craving pizza.

Speaker 1 (01:16:00):
Oh well, you went crazy and I did. And uh.

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
In downtown Cleveland there was a and I didn't know
this at the time, a really high end pizza place.
And when I say this, a little fruit fruity pizza
place called Lina's. Uh. And I was like, well, I'll
just go grab it to go Alabama and Alabama and
Duke's about to come on.

Speaker 1 (01:16:20):
I'll take that back to the hotel. Yeah on the TV.
And I got that game and then another one behind them,
Oh yes, and.

Speaker 4 (01:16:28):
Uh, and so.

Speaker 7 (01:16:31):
I went in.

Speaker 1 (01:16:32):
That's called thinking out loud.

Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
I went in and I ordered it and they said,
they said, okay, it'd be about fifteen twenty minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
You just want to wait here. I said yes.

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
So there was a little bench over there. So I
was sitting there and I quickly realized I'm way underdressed. Okay,
they was Italian restaurant. Yeah, this is very nice, and
I'm like, man, I'm just to go. Of course I
had to announce that.

Speaker 1 (01:16:54):
Did you keep telling people that here it comes in?
And he was hoping somebody recognized you said I pick
this pizza?

Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
And I did what any Southerner does. I guess that
loves pizza and ranch. He's kind of like those that
ask for ketchup when they're eating a steak. Oh no,
she said, okay, uh, Calvin, And I'm like, I'm right here,
and she said okay, And it's boxed it up and
it's like almost like the size of a personal pan piece.

Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
It was perfect, of course, yet six whoa yeah and uh?
And I said, hey, is there some ranch to go
with this? You asked the Italian? Excuse me? And she
said is? I said, is there some ranch to go
with this? And she said, oh, we don't. We don't serve.
We don't serve ranch. I'm like, oh, no, is there some?
Can I have some?

Speaker 3 (01:17:41):
Well?

Speaker 1 (01:17:41):
Do our pizzas really don't need sauce?

Speaker 7 (01:17:43):
But what do you?

Speaker 1 (01:17:46):
I guess we can find you something.

Speaker 2 (01:17:48):
Frustrated and I said, I said, you asked for ranch?
I said, I'm so sorry. And then now it's a scene.
She's like, get some hot honey, hot honey sauce for
this one.

Speaker 1 (01:17:58):
Uh I was like this one.

Speaker 2 (01:18:01):
She said, you can go down there, and she was
She wasn't that confrontational, honey, that's not ranch.

Speaker 1 (01:18:06):
I know, but it was. That's what she said. She said,
they have a couple of different sauces. Well that you
can have.

Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
They gave me and when I'm I'm holding holding up
less than an inch. Wow, they held that that that's
how much they filled up of this. Just EATI baddy
what she said, you don't need much. And I was like, okay,
and you didn't. You didn't, man, I went back. I mean,
like in other words, you know how some some sauces
a little is a lot, and she's all you had

(01:18:35):
to do is barely dip it in.

Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
Did you ever consider, like spicy, did you ever consider
hitting the grocery store on the way back and picking
a little ranch? Then you have to keep stop. That's
a couple of areas you don't want to stop at.

Speaker 7 (01:18:48):
All.

Speaker 1 (01:18:49):
But uh I just not that were that were close by,
you know, And I went with the mighty meat Greg. Yeah,
I want a lot of meat six slices. Oh yeah
it was. It was very good.

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
Now it wasn't thick crust, it was thin. And I
went back and that pizza stood no chance, no, and
about with two slices.

Speaker 1 (01:19:10):
Left, I should have stopped. Oh sure, So why I stop?
Deep into the game? Did it get before the pizza
was gone? Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:19:17):
I was done by halftime. I kept thinking Alabama would
start hitting shots and they didn't. And I'm like, wow,
at least the pizza is good.

Speaker 1 (01:19:24):
Right back.

five to three? I mean, are we gonna say that way?
