and we'll have a look and we'll talk to them
and see how they're doing. Dudnety. The gang will be
arriving next hour.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yeah, looking forward to it. This is always kind of
cool because you know, you get the story behind it.
And oh yeah, Christy Ward is who she is and
her husband wrote such a sweet little letter here as
far as the story behind it all. And so we
look forward to meeting now. It's gonna be cool. That's
always really moving. Yeah. Also, it is official now. It's

(01:38):
in the store up there.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
It is there. It is the Rick Burgess Show Challenge coin.
Yeah there. And it's a beauty. I mean, I like that.
I like the way I mean it's it's sturdy. It's
really cool. It's real because over the years when people
have given us all these challenge coins, I've noticed there's
a degree on quality, and some of them, frankly, are
not all that high quality. But that right there, that

(02:01):
that's that's you real do size.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
I like, I love that logo.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
And Larry, don't you worry buddy, and there on the
way to you if you don't already have them. It
is upside down there it is.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
I got five texts from Larry yesterday and the last
one said our mail here.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
Why did you have to see? Five texts?

Speaker 1 (02:28):
I did? I did.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
One was a picture of Carolyn Uh and she was
at the Secret Service office and all been.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
George, Oh really.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Really okay, he says, our mail here, I'm picturing how
he would say it.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
But our mail here is very slow. It's very slow,
and it will probably be here next week.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
He was being sarcastic, but he says, you know, as
far as what you said, you know where, Hey, we
send it out, you should have it. He's like, we're
always a little behind. So he's looking forward to getting
it though.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah, that's just fired up about it. Yeah, I'm glad
because at one point I expected Larry to be more
enthusiastic than he's been about that. He just doesn't. He
just doesn't have it. You know. It's rare, No, No,
it's it's rare that you are a viewer or a
listener to this show that we take a merchandise item
investing it solely really because of you. Really, we rarely

(03:26):
send employees to spend the night with it. There's a
lot of fur are rare. There's a lot of fur
airy rare. Not that we won't do it again now and.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Then send you the merch for free. Yes, that's good to.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah even that, Yeah that uh so right? So so anyway,
uh that that is in the story so now anybody,
anybody can go and get it and uh and enjoy those. Yeah,
you know it's it's cold. It's one of those things
I thought about, Uh, the challenge coin. I finally came
around on that because I do see people collect those

(03:56):
a lot, and we're collecting them here. I had a
hard time with justifying the patch. Yeah, I don't know
how many people will probably will use a pack. I
think Larry will get one and put in the front.
To get a blue jean jacket and put a patch.
That would be awesome.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
But but you know they're coming back, they're making a coup.
Everything is so I need eighties are back. They're back
and bigger than that.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
I wish you, I wish you would have been me
pitching the new merch team and now forgotten again. Is
it feed the nation? It's fund the Nations Fund the
Nations gracious and you know they do great ministry work too,
And you know it's been back and forth, and they
get kind of excited, and I think they felt like
that we've had some good ideas, they've had some great ideas.
Then all of a sudden, I said, now I want

(04:39):
to I want to talk about doing a challenge coin and
a patch that was a little They were like, no,
come again, uh huh, can you send us some samples?
All right, guys, I'm doing this thing. When you act
like you know something, you don't want to speak up.
You don't know because you assume everybody does. I don't
understand what challenge coin is. Okay, how about come memorative

(05:00):
of coin? What am I challenge I'll tell you that
I have the answer.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
I know.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
I've been playing the whole time. And I coffee and
get a pop off the coffee off. Also another merch item,
the Rick Burgess Show coffee mug, which I love those
greg The first time I encountered it, I can't remember
exactly who was first, whether it was law enforcement or military.
But I spoke at some luncheon and a guy comes

(05:25):
over and he shakes my hand. I realize he's got
something pressed in my palm, and who knows? And I
looked and I said, talk to me about this. He said,
that's a challenge coin from our for our precinct or whatever.
And I said, okay, We've got a lot of them
over the years. Yeah. And if if you're if you're in,
if you're in the military. It would be who you know,
want the hundred first or what I got? And so

(05:46):
they all have yeah, yeah, right there.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
And so if you're explaining it explaining so if you're
part of that crew, or that make you an honorary
member of that crew by giving you the challenge coin,
it means if you're somewhere now a Baptist is probably
why you don't know.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Surprise you don't know though, okay, because let's face it,
you're you're a different wing of the Baptist Church. But
it's it's one that you know, still drinks natty light.
But the but anyway, the what I'm saying is if
they come up to you and they see you and
you're part of that group, and they say, take their
challenge coin and they put it down on the table

(06:23):
on the bar, and you don't have yours in your pocket,
you have to buy them a drink. It's a challenge.
It's a challenge, Gus. That's what it came from. That's
what it came from.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
So so we have a drinking coin.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
We do. So somebody throws ours out, nobody answers it.
But in our case, somebody throws it down. How many
somebody throws the rick Burgess showing down and if you
don't have it, you have to buy them corn bread.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Right, Oh yeah, that or go get a cup of
coffee for it.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
That's good. You can do your own challenge. But that's
how it works. And most of them have it. Your wallet, Yeah,
and they keep. What I'm saying, as many as we have,
we'd have to have a path. Yeah, they keep yeah,
person wallet and then because of that, I've seen it.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
I've seen him pull it out there to some I
guess maybe it's front pocket.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
I don't know anything about a little thick you're learning
to the bottom line is this, Greg, it's a bit
more to it. How about this? It's an honor and
what it does. It kind of means I'm in this group.
So now to have a rick Burgess shap or not.
I just gave you a coin, But are you really
in the group. Well, your honorary, I said, honorary. You
don't understand they're just being honorary and actual, you know,

(07:27):
like I got the difference, Greg, I got news for you.
Bill Bubba Bussy has an honorary master's degree. He is
a doctorate. Yeah, okay, but but he didn't really get it.
Scott Dawson has one. You know what I mean? It
means you're being honored by that.

Speaker 6 (07:41):
So once you an honorary firefighter one day he was, yeah,
firefighter like for a day a coin?

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah, no, just got a plaque. Oh yeah, but fire
departments have coins. Yeah, so what this is? And now
people become collecting them kind of like Larry does patches,
meaning now I'm nervous. I don't want somebody thought coin it.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
Well, I'm not carrying around coins.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
I like that display said that out loud. I'm sorry,
display we have. It's true. They were honoring it by
putting it on display, and now people do display them.
Say look at all the different groups that I've collected,
and so now including Larry, So, a Rick Burgess Show
challenge coin means I'm in the loop. I'm part I

(08:23):
listened to the Rick Burgers Show. The look I can
produce my challenge coin. You could. You could walk up
to a person and say, if oh, you're Rick Burgess
Show challenge going down, say you listen to the show,
and if they say yeah, they go where's your challenge going?
And where's your challenge going? Yeah? And you can make
people honorary listeners of this, even though we need real
ones right right, but still I listeners not actually now,

(08:46):
when you're pitching an age actual breathing listener, Greg, when
you pitch an advertise, they go, how many listeners do
you have? Honorary or real ones?

Speaker 3 (08:55):
I'm gonna use mine as a ballmark playing golf.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
On the green. You can do that.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
It's a little heavy, but that's a little big You're
not gonna gonna problem.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
They've got some smaller ones.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
We don't through great say, it's all about the Rick
Burgess Show. You you're gonna learn today. Today is the
learning day. Challenge buddy, you don't have to make fun
of everything you have.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Challenge Greg, me and me at the face. I've had
enough of this.

Speaker 7 (09:21):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
So we're living in a time when truth is treated
like hate lies. Here they are they're being just paraded
as compassion. Uh. The media loves the word tolerance, but
we know better. They're most some of the most intolerant
people we know well. Blaze's TV. We don't play along
with all this. It's it's like that we tell you
here you know we're coming to you from the real

(09:50):
this this is the real world. We we tell the truth,
even when it's hard, even when it's unpopular, because truth
is too important to stay silent. So all across the
Blaze network, including this show, you know, we're going to
go deeper than just the headlines. We're not just going
to react to the news. We're going to try to,
you know, explain what's driving this. You're not going to

(10:13):
hear from the corporate media. You know, they're always pushing
some sort of agenda or trying to indoctor natus into something.
So Blaze TV is here to push back with clarity
and conviction. This isn't just content, it's a calling. And
when you subscribe to Blaze TV, you're not just supporting
conservative voices, you're joining a movement that refuses to bow

(10:34):
to the cultural chaos. It's only eight dollars a month
when used the promo code Rick. That's twenty dollars off
an annual plan, only twenty six cents a day. To
support voices that will not back down. Go to BlazeTV
dot com slash rick and join today. The truth matters
and they're doing everything they can out there to silence us.

(11:00):
So one of the things that you guys mentioned going
and we got inside the break and start talking about
it on this Stephen Colbert thing and and the business.
Uh So if he's saying now that Paramounts, you know,
is going to give him ten months, he's supposed to
be done in May of twenty twenty six. Correct, Yeah, yeah, yes, Well,

(11:22):
And I don't know how TV works as much broadcast TV,
but I know in our business normally, you know, obviously
we were given you know, a year to wind down
the Rick and Bubby show and and do that. That's
that's kind of abnormal too. Of course, you know, when
when something is has been ended and people are not

(11:43):
going to go forward and they don't want to continue
with you, usually in our business you're paid what you're owed,
but you don't go back on the air. No, And
so I'm a little bit surprised that they're letting Cobert
know it's over and then put him back on the air.
That's that's odd. So this thing where he's going to

(12:04):
go on the air and now trash Paramount and taking
the gloves off Paramount, I don't think that they're they're
under no obligation to honor that. Now they can pay
them when he's old, but they don't have to let
him on the air. Yeah, it's gonna be kind of
aired playout. They'll pay him till till May. But just

(12:24):
because they agree to pay you and finish at your contract.
I don't know how his is, but I know in
our world, the people who are paying you, they do
not have to let you be on the air as
long as they're paying you. Now, you know, if they
if they take you off there and then don't pay you,
then they're in violation of the contract. But if they're

(12:45):
paying you and they're going to fulfill the contract, they
don't have to allow you on the air for obvious.
I mean that gives improtection. You know, they don't want
to put some on there. It's just gonna trash them
for ten months. Now.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
Well, if it's funny you say that.

Speaker 6 (12:59):
So Cold Bear just last night had a fan cam
going on, kind of a play off of the whole
Coldplay concert thing.

Speaker 8 (13:06):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
He He goes to a couple of different celebrities.

Speaker 6 (13:09):
And Adam Sandler what's his name, the villain, the villain
from Shooter McGavin is sitting right next to him in
the audience. Then he had John, You had John Stewart
and j Lynn Manuel a Man. Yeah, yeah, Hamilton, the
Hamilton guys weird out. So all these celebrities and they're
showing all these celebrities on the fan cam. And then

(13:31):
they show and I'm showing it to you guys behind
the on the screen there. Uh you'll see it's actually
the Coldplay cam, but it's Trump and Trump cartoon. Trump
is hugging a Paramount logo to say, oh, look there's
Trump and and Paramount. They're being seen together in public
and they shouldn't be. And so Trump and and the

(13:53):
Paramount logo like freak out and like kind of hide,
just like the couple.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
The couple did in the fuld Play video.

Speaker 6 (14:00):
So Colbert is already taking very obvious shots at Paramount, Yeah,
in this time.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Period, and he was responding Trump couldn't. He took the
true social on Friday and he said, I absolutely love
the Colbert got fired, of course he does. His talent
was even less than his ratings, and so he responded
and Colbert told him to go blank himself last night
and all this, so it's going to be interesting to
see how this plays out. And to your point, Rick,

(14:27):
his exact quote was a sarcastic comment towards Paramount. He said,
they made one mistake. They left me alive for the
next ten months. The gloves are off.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Well. See, I just don't see where Paramount unless they're
in on it, and it's all just some publicity stunt
to you know, to to help help help everybody, help
everybody win, because it doesn't make any sense that if
I if I and I'm not looking to trust me,
We've all had our run ins with broadcast companies and
they can be very undesirable people, and sometimes they can be,

(14:59):
you know, wonderful people, and sometimes it's just kind of,
you know, somewhere in between. But I do acknowledge that,
you know, if I'm Paramount and I've been paying you
fifteen million dollars a year and I've given you two
hundred employees and one hundred and thirty million dollar budget,
it's gonna be real hard to make me out to
be a horrible person. Yeah, Okay, so you know you

(15:22):
we've we've paid you pretty well and you've and you
know we we it's it's a win win, it all
works together. But I don't see them if it's truly
we're going I'm gonna destroy you and I'm gonna get
on the air and rip you. And it's not some
sort of we're in all. We're in on this altogether.

(15:43):
I just don't see Paramount allowing him to do that.
Now they're gonna pay him again, That's I'm not I'm
not saying he can't, he's not gonna get paid. I'm
just saying they don't have to let him on the air. Yeah,
you know.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
And He's what I don't get here is so he's
they show him hugging Paramount, But isn't the reason there
there that he got a settlement from Paramount and CBS
is they went on and edited video. You're in a
campaign to make Kamala look better. So so y'all made
this mess. Trump didn't create it. Yeah, but that I mean,

(16:16):
But what I'm trying to say is.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
They're trying to say that he pressured that Trump pressured
Paramount to get rid of Colbert.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
They are trying to say that, Ye, yeah, because they
got to play the victim.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
But is that not what that joke was?

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yeah, no, it was, but it was also tied into
the fact that he got paid a huge settlement he
got a huge settlement out of it.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
He's trying to suggest that Paramount is in bed with Trump.

Speaker 6 (16:38):
Yeah, and it's not because of my poor ratings. It's
not because I'm losing money. It's because of Trump. Yeah,
it's it's it's just a joke, you know, right.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Classic left move. Everything goes back to Trump somehow all
my problems.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Well, it also goes back to the victimhood. It's not
possible that maybe the format of the kind of show
I'm doing, or the fact that I went all political
and you know, the larger audience that really didn't wanted
to hear me make fun of all politicians the way
the late shows used to be. I'm now only making
fun of one party. And like we said yesterday, the

(17:13):
bizarre thing he did on the vaccine when he started
all that stuff. You know, he will never admit that
that costume audience. Now, you know, it's always I'm a
victim of some sort. I played no role in damaging
my own show, right, you know, it was I was
doing a great job and everybody's just being unfair to me.

(17:36):
You know, he won't look in the mirror and say
that he had any partner and that maybe he made
some decisions that were not wise on the formatting of
the show.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
But now you've got all your other liberal talk show hosts,
the John Stewarts and Jimmy's of the world, they're all
coming to his defense.

Speaker 8 (17:53):
You know.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Well, that would say that to me if I was,
you know, if I was a critic of the way
the late shows have gone to the political left, I
would go, well, of course they're all gathering together, they're
all doing the same thing. And how about this. It's
a group of people who are all doing the wrong
thing because it's going to cost them all eventually. I mean,

(18:14):
but it didn't even I mean, and we've been, you know,
in some of the latter days of the Rick and
Bubba guilty of it a little bit. If you go
all into political you're just saying, I'm willing to divide
my audience up. And there's certain people that I don't
desire to do what I'm you can do a little

(18:35):
bit of it, Like there's people that know that we're
conservative and they tolerate it because we give them enough
of the other. But if we turned into another Fox
News Clay and Buck Sean Hannity, you know, Glenn all
good people and people that we agree with most of
the time. But that means that we're saying to a

(18:56):
portion of the audience that doesn't want to hear that
we don't want you. Well, I don't want to play that.
I want I want to have the biggest audience we
can possibly have, not not compromising what we believe, but
also not them tuning in every day and I and
I take a sledgehammer and beat them over the head
with every day, you know, And so you can you know,
we we all enjoy entertainment from leftist as long as

(19:20):
they just don't overdo it, right. We've all talked about
oh yeah, I mean we do and that's fine. Look,
we're not going to agree with everybody on every subject.
We we've sung songs from people that we completely oppose
politically and even morally. Yeah, you know, we're using laptops
and phones right now. But but there's a line, but
there's but there's a line that we have. You know,

(19:41):
you can you can brow beat us to to the
point that I go, I just don't do that anything. Yeah,
And I think late night TV has gotten to that point.
There's they're losing audience because they're they're not making fun
of the political and there's much to make fun of
on both sides, on both sides, and what they're trying

(20:01):
to indoctrinate you into something. And as I said the
other day, and you know, I will say this that
I have been guilty of this before, and it's something
that I've tried to do better. Is not just disagree
with you, but make you feel stupid if you don't
agree with me. You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna say
you're dumb and you're stupid and uh, and we have
done that, and I have done that. But I can

(20:23):
understand how if I if I go that rapture like, wow,
we're not just disagreeing anymore. You're disparaging me now, you know,
because I don't agree with you. Uh, And so I
can understand how that would run you off. Yeah, I
acknowledge that, right.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
And Colbert was losing to Gutfeld on Fox News.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Oh yeah, yeah it was.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (20:45):
So we'll see around two and a half million for
Colbert and about three point three million for Gutfeld on
Fox News.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
And if if you think that Kimmel and all that
bunch and Colbert are gonna learn a lesson from this
Bless your heart.

Speaker 7 (21:03):
Yeah, this is the Rick Burgess Show.

Nobody said he has blood clots in his face? Kind
of came out that way. No, it didn't. It's it's

Amazon Prime put that out? You see a lot of
his struggles and now that's been well known, but you
see behind the scenes, the struggles and the daily stuff
he goes along with with.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
His foot on Amazon Prime.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
Yeah yeah, it was Prime on Prime. Yeah, it was
I'm really good Prime on Prime Crime.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
So he did. He did appear at Big twelve Media
Days earlier in the month. He declined to elaborate on
his health. I'm really not gonna tell you much. You
know that, The reporters laugh. I'm not. I'm not. I'm
not here to talk about my health. I'm here to
talk about my team. Uh, he said, what I'm dealing

(23:43):
with right now is at a whole nother level, he
told a Sante Samuel on his podcast former NFL cornerback
or is he or is he yea? So says he
and then another one he gets on a podcaster with
Philip Duke's last week, says we headed back to Colorado
next week. It's a blessing. It's been a long journey

(24:04):
along road, and soon everybody will know the reason I
haven't left this house this summer. Everyone will know in
the next few weeks or so. And then he was
recovering from the NFL draft rag.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Some people say, yeah, he's got a that's last time
we saw my son left, and I don't know how
I leave.

Speaker 4 (24:24):
He tweeted yesterday.

Speaker 6 (24:27):
Remember when our word was one hundred. Remember when we
were taught if you don't work, you don't eat. Remember
when we knew right from wrong and wasn't willing to
risk being on.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
The wrong side.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Love how you're reading it.

Speaker 6 (24:41):
Remember when the neighborhood protected and corrected you.

Speaker 4 (24:46):
Remember hashtag coach?

Speaker 10 (24:49):
Is that you?

Speaker 1 (24:49):
As they did say on every one of these appearances,
including Big twelve media Day for some bizarre reason, wearing
a mask, I'm just kidding another with his face.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
No, no, well I just didn't know.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
Okay, there's nothing wrong.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
There's nothing Okay, we've seen his toes before.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
It's rough, it's very rough. Yeah, I deal with a lot.

Speaker 6 (25:13):
He's got some I mean two toes at least amputated,
maybe more at this point.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Right, But do y'all think that's what this is about.
This sounds a little more serious than that.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
Well, I mean, you're losing toes. That's not good.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
He's not.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
He's at what point do you go, Okay, just take it,
you know, I know, just give me a blade. You know, well,
because he takes well, because he's has so many issues
with his foot and and the blood clots in his
leg and that that's been a concern and he's dealt
with it. I wonder if he's if doctors have said it.

(25:47):
You know, we can resolve all this if we take
But no, the whord you got him gonna his legs
all that he almost lost his legs what years ago?

Speaker 1 (25:54):
When you.

Speaker 6 (26:00):
Look at his toes missing, guys, at some point they're
going to take the whole, the whole, every toe he's gotten,
half the foot.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
I'm just telling you.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Blade, big yeah, Well, I'm just saying I wonder if that.
I know he's tried to keep it and this is serious.
I mean he's if you watched already, I know for
apparently from you, right, Yeah, if you watch Coach Prime,
he's really this is a he deals a lot. He's
a lot of pain even when he walks.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
It's big.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Originally happened.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
What caused all blood clots?

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Blood clots? Just just blood clots.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
Yeah, some people say it's the COVID JAB. I'm not
saying that's what it is.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
No, it was before then, I think, Yeah, I think
after that, there you go the way every element, even
though I was suspect of the shot, and they did
lie about the shot, and we now know they lied
a lot about the shot. It didn't do what they
said it would do all that, But we cannot blame
everything on the shot. I noticed that we're starting to
do that now now there's no doubt.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
I think it's because that's why I'm short.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
All right.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
So he's had he's had poor circulation and blood clots
in his left leg. He's it's he's had multiple surgeries.
He's had what I think two toes removed.

Speaker 4 (27:13):
I believe ye, his big toes amputation.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
He's had two toes, one of the big toe.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
The mark. He has also come home.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
He's also the risk of amputation, possibly losing his entire foot.

Speaker 8 (27:29):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
The ongoing pain and.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
Circulation issues have escalated and he's constantly dealing with that.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
So that's why I was saying. You know, even.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Going back to twenty twenty three, almost a year ago,
there's a story from NBC that says Dion Sanders at
risk of losing left foot to amputation.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
You said, leg.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Yeah, well, you know, I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
What do they go up?

Speaker 3 (27:51):
You know I've got they go in, they go up
right like below the neee.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
We're talking about a blade, Yeah, thank you. Look if
his health would be better with the blade, he's fine
with the blade. You know me, I've almost been willing
to trade my bad foot in for a blood.

Speaker 4 (28:04):
You need a blade, frankly, yeah, I show so.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
But why is he being so secret? I don't understand
being so secret? Why can't we Why do you care?
If everybody knows this?

Speaker 4 (28:12):
Great's very secretive about his web toes.

Speaker 6 (28:14):
So maybe Deon Sanders is secretive about his chosen missing
that's true.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah, I don't understand all the secrecy. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
Some people just don't like to talk about their health issues.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
It's like they well if I if I'm thinking about
coming to Colorado though in the mystery worse than me
knowing the truth? Yeah, can't that hurt recruiting?

Speaker 4 (28:35):
Plus his face is all that stuff?

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yeah, that's what about that? Top of the hour, And
we've got the winner. At one time she was contested
number two, and now you know her as Christie Ward,
the winner of Make Mama Smile Again. Her husband Kevin's here,
Their son Raylan is here. By the way, Raylan just

(28:56):
beat dad on Burgess ball battle. Lord, this pretty, that
look rough youth is hard to compete with. So you
know I want to we'll read the story then. Christy
from Tim Dudney also said on the before and after
pictures she wants us to focus in on something. We'll
do that after I read the letter. So I thought

(29:18):
that's a great point. So here's the letter that came
in from husband Kevin. He got ready, no squaling, Okay,
no squaling.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
I can't. I have no promises.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Okay, here we go. Hope I don't take the squalling here.

Speaker 4 (29:32):
We go, where's the tissue box?

Speaker 1 (29:35):
My wife has had a hard year. Her mom got
the ultimate reward April twenty twenty four when she stepped
into heaven Amen to that. As the doctors described it,
she had a catastrophic brain bleed. She never left her
mama's side. She handled it with so much grace and courage.
If you ask her, she will say it's her faith
that carried her through. Now back up to February twenty

(29:56):
twenty three, when we got the diagnosis of lymphoma for
her dad. He was fighting the dreaded sea word. In
the middle of all this. July twenty twenty three, her
father in law, my Dad, lost his battle we cancer.
I guess you can see the pattern of loss our
family is faced this past year and a half. And
after her mom passed, they were continuing with chemotherapy and
added radiation. That took a toll on her already grieving dad.

(30:21):
She took him to every appointment and they fought hard,
but ultimately her dad also lost his battle with limp
foma October twenty twenty four. He rejoined her mom. His
response to grief, I want others to see Jesus in
me instead of why me? Why not me? Amen? She's
a selfless wife, mom, and third grade teacher. Her passion

(30:42):
is helping others. She has twenty six kiddos in her
class this year. To say that she has a lot
of pressure and stress on her is an understatement. She's
talked about getting her teeth fixed for a couple of
years now. She works so hard to take care of others.
I would love to see her get taken care of.
She has always had complaints about her time, teeth, and
her smile. I've heard her say many times that she

(31:03):
doesn't have a pretty smile. I disagree with her. Well,
her sons and I would love for her to have
the beautiful smile that she wants to match her beautiful spirit.
Her love for others is unmatched. Her sons and I
are always her priority. So let's make her a priority
and fix mama's grill. How sweet? So look at the

(31:23):
picture that we were talking about, and Christie tell us
that we need to focus on what her eyes. Yeah,
so we'll put those up because you're talking about the
difference it makes.

Speaker 11 (31:35):
Just look at her, don't look at her teeth, just look.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
At her eyes.

Speaker 12 (31:38):
Wow, and how her eyes look different from the first picture.
Look at that, it's twinkle in her eyes, twinkle confidence, confidence, Yeah, joy,
And that's how Yeah, So that's it.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
It's I remember, you know, talking about this with a
lot of past contestants back on the Rick and Bubbas
Show and even talk in the bubb about when he
had his veneers done it there. It does bring confidence back,
doesn't it. It does? Absolutely it does.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
Yeah, because before I'd be like, oh, like, they've got
a pretty smile and they've got a pretty small So
it absolutely does, because like I Sai, I would always small,
but I mean you always had that little bit of eh.
So but now I'm beaming like my Deadney smile, Like
I'm just I'm just smiling all the time.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Yeah, you really are. I mean, look at her. She
is so So how did you find out? So? Did
did did y'all? I guess if y'all had to get pictures?
Did you? I know y'all sharing it might be Kevin?
What did y'all have to just say hey out and
need to take a picture? Did you did she know
you had injured her? How did that work? Well?

Speaker 11 (32:42):
We talked about it for the past several years on
from the Rick and Bubble show.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Yeah, we're doing it from there.

Speaker 11 (32:47):
And you know, we've talked about seeing if we could
put her in it. We never did it until this
year because just with everything that happened, I was like,
she's got to have something good husdom.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Rather that matter, my goodness, y'all, you know.

Speaker 11 (33:03):
And yeah, and she had handled everything so wonderful. She
will say that she was a mess, but I say
she's a champion. I mean she stood tall and took
care of brothers and nephews and and.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Her mom and dad and my boy here.

Speaker 11 (33:24):
You know, she usually just she's the mother hen to everybody,
and she done it with so much grace and and
seeing her in the hospital taking care of her mother
when she was going on in it was it was
just something else. Even though it's a tragedy. I got
to sit back and watch her handle it. And then

(33:45):
doing that, I seen God come through her and I
got He gave me a deeper love for her just
watching her handle it.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
Yeah, yeah, you we say s Lewis said it. You know,
pain and suffering is God's megaphone for a sleeping world.
But you know God's also you know, He's wise to
choose who he gives that megaphone too, and because just
because you have the megaphone doesn't mean you're going to
say the right thing through it. And uh and so
you you have obviously lived out your faith and it's
effected that everybody who's watched you. I mean it sounds

(34:17):
like you. The parents were devout in their faith obviously
with the things they said too, So you were you
were raised.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Right, they were like it. So looking back, there were
so many god winks along the way. Of course, when
you're in the middle of it, you don't know that,
you don't see these things. But you know, I had
just talked to Mom that night, I was actually taking
dinner to some friends of ours, and then you know,
everything was fine, and then my nephew called, and so

(34:43):
that Wednesday kind of started a downward spiral for us.
And what I've said through all of it, you know,
like I want others to see Christ in me, like
I want Yes, it stinks. Yes, it was terrible. I
mean it was it was rough. And I know I
mentioned to them like this has been a light in
a dark season, like it really has been something that Again,

(35:09):
grief is strange. Grief comes and goes grief will come
when you least expect it. It'd just show up. But
just going through all this, I could just imagine my mom,
like I could just hear what she was saying, like.

Speaker 4 (35:20):
Chris, that looks good, you know.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
So so it was good. Like we keep saying God's
time is perfect. But I mean, I know he said
that he saw the strength of me, but he was
the one holding me up through it, you know, like
just having that person and having a partner there. So
it was it's been tough, like this year, have well
almost two years now going back through all of it.

(35:44):
But yeah, I have that piece, like you know when
Mom stepped into heaven, Like I had that piece about it.
And then six and a half months later, you know,
Dad won his ultimate battle against canceerst. I hate to
say the word.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah, yeah, lost is for people we don't know where they.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
Are absolutely and you know, and you have such a
piece about that. I saw him grow and change so
much in that six and a half months that Mom passed.
So that helped to give me that piece that I needed.
And again, it stinks, it stinks for the fact that
everything that they're missing with Raylan, you know, he's thirteen
with her oldest son, Blake. You know he has children now,

(36:23):
So just all of those things that I look back.
But you can't sit in that lane. You've got to
choose joy. That's what I tell my kids every day
at school. You got to choose joy. You can wake
up and not or I can be thankful that I
had my mom and daddy for forty three years.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah, and you know it's almost like now y'all giving
her this makeover. It's like she was already a weapon.
Now you've just made it. Look how joeful she is.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
She was already next week.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
It's like giving her a superpower. Now there we go.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
Yeah, well watch out.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
Well you've you've been used again today. There's a lot
of people watching and listening to you right now and
you're being used once again. So so thankful for you, guys,
doesn't he? Christie? Thank you about you understand what I
was saying.

Speaker 13 (37:09):
About how this can be rewarding.

Speaker 6 (37:10):
Oh yes, I'm sitting here listening to Christy and obviously
we've gotten to know her, but I'm sitting here going, wow, this.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
Is even more rewarding than I thought. And I think
it's care rewarding. Look at the impact. Yeah, the emotional
impact for us is great. That's why we like it
so much. Well, thank you for what you guys do
you guys, you guys use your gifts. You're you're generous,
and thank you for giving us the opportunity. Yeah, and
thank you Christie Kevin Raylan. Good to meet y'all. And uh,

(37:39):
we now will unleash the new Christie on the world.
Here she comes. It will be right back. Thank you.
I'm a little how come you didn't call me what
I heard? I heard you like clearing out some land
you needed my help.

Speaker 6 (37:58):
I thought about calling you, you know, yesterday. I actually
think I told you guys during the break my yard,
you know, when you just have so much yard work.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
To do, you your yard beats you up.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
Yeah, my yard.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
Beat me up on Sunday, specially if you get behind
on it.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
It's like it's just too much.

Speaker 6 (38:18):
Yes, and uh wow, just first on mode. And then
I have this whole area that's not grass. It's just
kind of wild, you know, it's natural area. Yeah, it's
a natural area. Uh. And I was actually at my
neighbor's house directly next door neighbor's house, and when they're
when you're at their kitchen. You look out their window

(38:41):
and there's our house right there. I was in my
neighbor's kitchen.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Yeah, you know, that's a whole nother story.

Speaker 6 (38:46):
They have kids like the exact same age, so were
there at.

Speaker 4 (38:50):
Our place all the time. It's like their kid.

Speaker 6 (38:54):
Is one age, and then Ruby and then they have
another kid, and then there's Eezra and then they have
another kid.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
Oh that's nice.

Speaker 4 (39:01):
He is he I actually I actually got him into.
I came in.

Speaker 6 (39:08):
I came in a little hot on jiu jitsu effect,
but he actually my neighbor jumped in and he's kind
of better than me now, and that really I kind
of I wish i'd never told him because now I
have to really work hard to keep up with him.

Speaker 4 (39:20):
Is not cool at all.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
So this is kind of like when had little friends.

Speaker 4 (39:24):
Yea, I'm sorry, long story. I'm in their kitchen.

Speaker 6 (39:30):
I can look out their window and see my house
and there's this one hill that I don't really see.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
But that's their perspective, their perspective whole.

Speaker 4 (39:42):
That's what they think of and that's what they see
in it.

Speaker 6 (39:44):
And y'all, it's just sticks. It's just stick city. I'm
just like, oh, that's a great wonderful hillside of sticks.
So I spent like two hours picking up sticks in
my yard yesterday.

Speaker 4 (39:58):
You get short of breath when you're down there, you
know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Along what you do with.

Speaker 6 (40:06):
I put them in a cart and then I take
the cart and I loaded, and I take it back
into the further woods.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
I just dump it in the wood. I should. I've
got y'all got two piles that are as big as
an igloo.

Speaker 6 (40:19):
Like a like I've show I got two piles that
that big.

Speaker 4 (40:23):
And I guess I'm just gonna have to get a
burn permit and just burn it.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:27):
But so I'm like, all right, let me improve my
what my neighbors think of me. They already think I'm weird.
I got the van. You know, you just want to
you want to put your best foot forward.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
You got to sign out that says slow kids.

Speaker 6 (40:39):
And I gotta sign out and says no, no, no no.
This says slow down the children. It does not say
slow children at play. I went and checked because you
don't have me worried that I had a sign that
was maybe telling people something about my kids.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
And so y'all I'm.

Speaker 6 (40:54):
Picking up the sticks and you're out of breath, and
you're like you can feel like your blood and your
brain and all this stuff.

Speaker 4 (40:59):
And I don't know what you guys do when it
comes to stick method, but I've got I got gloves on,
and I just stay down and I try to bundle up.
And then you got two bundles.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
And you start making noises like get one more.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
You always go for one more, you.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
Always and then and double pick it up a bunch
of times, ring finger, get one more.

Speaker 6 (41:18):
And so I'm pushing them into the wagon cart thing.

Speaker 4 (41:24):
You know, substantial took a landscaping cart. Yes, And I
push down and you know.

Speaker 6 (41:31):
When you're doing something and you're like, this is this
is stupid, but you just kind of keep doing it
like you're like in the motion of it, and you're like,
this is stupid. And I did it, and some of
the sticks broke and ricocheted up into my face and
just cut me right on my grief.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
I blow the eye right below my out.

Speaker 4 (41:51):
I could have lost my eye, y'all.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
Just pushing down one just broke away.

Speaker 4 (41:56):
I could have been a pirate or something. It was
just so you got slapped by it. Was like a
tree pimp slapped me, y'all.

Speaker 6 (42:02):
It hurts. I mean it was like a tree walked
up to me from Lord of the Rings like, oh,
I mean it hurts so bad, and it like just
you know when you just wake up, you know, because
before that, I was like in my podcast, you know,

(42:23):
time is going kind of fast, and then you're like, wow,
I just got pimp slapped by a tree, right, you.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
Like to know what podcast?

Speaker 4 (42:34):
Actually, Dave Ramsey, stop buying things you can't afford. You'll drown.
That was the name of the episode. That was the
name of the episode, the scooter.

Speaker 6 (42:42):
But so uh but Rick, I want you to know
I was actually very handy this weekend. Nice yeah, yeah, yeah,
just like you are you and I actually it took
some scrap wood and I built a bench for my kids.

Speaker 4 (42:59):
Here and see, oh look at that bench here. And
my kids love squirt guns. Okay they do? And uh here, Rick,
I got audio two of this.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Hold On's come back, We'll come back. Wait, so y'all
don't have squirt guns. They use just spray bottles.

Speaker 4 (43:17):
Pray bottles.

Speaker 6 (43:17):
I don't know why they keep showing up, but these
spray bottles keep showing up and they're causing problem.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
Probably work better than a squirt gun.

Speaker 4 (43:25):
You're gonna hear me get.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
A little let's let's talk about by the way, an
Ezra's face being redder and muddier.

Speaker 7 (43:32):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
Here we go, America, brand new hour. Thank you for
being with us. As you heard the gangs all here,
we thank you for being with us. Burgess ball battle
coming up a little later. The vox seats will feel
we're chatting with Adler and he's out. He went over

(44:01):
to his neighbors to see the perspective of his yard
from their kitchen window, only to notice that his yard
needed some work. He went out, tried to tackle various sticks,
crammed them into some sort of cart sticks broke, slapped
him in the face, cut him. Uh, And so then
he said, well, I did have a week of being handy.

(44:23):
And he was showing us a bench that he made
for his children. We now see the children they did
on the bench. They used spray bottles as we would
use squirt guns. Correct, yes, they love them, okay, but
they basically they're just using them as squirt guns, right, yes, okay,
just water, just water.

Speaker 4 (44:44):
It's just watering. Yeah, and it's I mean the kids,
the kids love these squirt bottles so much.

Speaker 6 (44:49):
All right, So this is scrapwood that I created this
little bench out of in their little playhouse here, so
they got an outdoor playhouse. Uh, they're sitting on the
bench and y'all, I couldn't on my circular saw. So
I'm literally out there with a handsaw like it's eighteen
forty wow, and this saw, like I don't. I don't

(45:11):
own a handsaw. This handsaw came with the house. It's
that kind of handsaw. You know what I'm saying. Like
this handsaw it's older than I am. It's so rusted
when it when you when you pull back, because you
know how when you when you saw you put your
it's actually on the push. Yeah, most of the time,
the way these teeth are set up. Sure, I wish
it was the pull right.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
No, well, Grey disagree, Oh started, Yeah, it's always cuts backwards.
That's all I'm talking about. Handsaw for trees.

Speaker 4 (45:43):
If you well, I'm talking about just like this is
like a draw a picture of a saw in a
cartoon in a book, Like it's that saw. You know
what I'm saying, like the square.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
I still thought that one cuts coming back.

Speaker 4 (45:55):
No, I'm on the one slightly curved. That's yeah, the
curve one, Greg, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm
talking about just like a wood sawce.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
I know what you're talking about, wood saw. Look like
we're not talking about a limb sauce.

Speaker 4 (46:08):
I'm not talking about a limb sauce.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
I got you. It's on the back, Greg, we got
it right.

Speaker 4 (46:12):
That's not what I am talking about.

Speaker 1 (46:16):
He's talking about the.

Speaker 6 (46:19):
I'm talking about like your sauceaw, like your your pop
pause woods saw AnyWho.

Speaker 4 (46:24):
Okay, that's it's not even about the saw.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
RG. You take us down and actually cuts back, by
the way in al Furness, you took us down the saw.

Speaker 6 (46:31):
Road, and so it's even it's it's struggling to come
back at me.

Speaker 4 (46:38):
I am struggling.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
Is doing that thing where yourying tout by pushing it.

Speaker 4 (46:44):
That's the way the teeth goes, Greg, That's the way
the teeth goes. And so I finally get this, I'm
so sweaty. I finally get it done.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
I'm so sweaty.

Speaker 6 (46:55):
I get this bench and it's in the playhouse. The
kids are sitting on it, and I'm trying to record
a video to show you guys. Ezra is going to
hit me in the eyes.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
With the squirt bottle.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 6 (47:07):
I'm going to move to a new location. He's going
to hit me in the eyes again twice, and I
actually get upset and you're gonna.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
Hear You're going to hear it. Yes, all right, here

the kids today. Did you like it?

Speaker 3 (47:47):
Cool?

Speaker 13 (47:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (47:51):
That's so great.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
Yeah, I think I think one of Oh yeah, there it.

Speaker 4 (47:57):
Is right, there's the band that's actual handiness.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
Oh yeah, I made one of those.

Speaker 4 (48:04):
You made one of those? Thirty one you've made one
of them.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
We got one down to farm you that you made
or did Gary make it?

Speaker 4 (48:11):
And you watched it.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
Actually was in there when I bought the place, so
you kind of made but I kind of fixed it,
made it better.

Speaker 4 (48:19):
There you go all that.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
I think My favorite part was was when it started
ruby she was going to try to kind of get
close to sporting you. But she looked forward like she
wasn't going to do it. Oh yeah, and she got
really close and I think she was. Ezra was a
little more direct.

Speaker 4 (48:37):
Yeah, okay, because she sprays me in the face, right
in the eye, y'all. It hit. The water droplets are
in my eyes.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
He wanted to do it again that last time. But
why don't you take back a moment and say why
my son can shoot one of these guns really good?

Speaker 4 (48:50):
He really can't.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
I was holding that out.

Speaker 4 (48:52):
I was patient with him, but I was upset. You
can hear it, my boy through. Please don't spray me
in my eyes?

Speaker 1 (48:57):
All r right there? You got a little like.

Speaker 4 (49:02):
This kid is the squirreliest kid on the planet.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
Goodness open get another. You know what's interesting when he
uses saw he cuts.

Speaker 4 (49:18):
Don't show me the bench you made this weekend, Greg,
show me the bench you made.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
That's it? That was That was a good looking one. Okay,
you did it with the handsaw. That's impressive. I did,
but your name was broad hangover.

Speaker 4 (49:34):
The that's on purpose. Okay, that's on purpose. That's on purpose.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Greg.

Speaker 6 (49:39):
Okay, I know it's got more hangover. And you said
it under your breath, and I heard it. This side
has more. Yes, that's on purpose. Looking to see these
holes right here. These are for the kids to put
their little fake little screwdriver thing. They can put it
on there like it's a work bench.

Speaker 14 (49:55):
You put it.

Speaker 6 (49:56):
That's why Cent, and that's why it has the hangover. Greg,
like you like you're you have a hangover right now?
Now this has a hangover there.

Speaker 7 (50:06):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (50:06):
Is that what you were thinking the whole time you
saw it? No, I mean I figured it was by
design some reason. There's no way you might do that
on perfect. So so, Adler, your name was brought up
this past weekend when Cherry and I went to the farm.
We have a rocking chair that you know, you've ever
had something You're like, Okay, it's just a little bit broke.
It's not throw away broke. It's not replacement broke.

Speaker 4 (50:29):
It's all of my stuff.

Speaker 8 (50:29):
You know.

Speaker 1 (50:30):
I think this could be fixed, and every attempt to
fix it has not worked. And and this is what happened.
There wouldn't rocking chairs. So she's like, you think Gary
could do I said that. You know, I don't know
if this is Gary's world or if he has time
for all this. Hey, what hey? And then she brought
up Adler, your dad, and and I said, you know,

(50:51):
Michael Adler, you talk about woodwork. And I said, but
you know, odds to him getting She goes, you know what,
I wonder if Chris could do it? I said, well,
Chris claims to have the some of the same skills
with woodwork that his dad has, but I'm not sure
to what level. But I stand correct. The day after
I saw this bench. You know, I mean you use

(51:11):
a hands off. What do you think about being called
in to fix a rocking chair?

Speaker 4 (51:15):
What's wrong with it?

Speaker 1 (51:17):
One of the arm rest has the has detached from
where you know, the little thing on the end would
have gone into the hole like a you know, the
puzzle there. You're not talking like a hand, you know,
you know how you where it goes into the back. Yes,
that broke. Okay, So I don't know, I mean you,
I mean, the pieces is broke. So I don't know
how you would this get enough chair. Some of these

(51:39):
wood glues and stuff they haven't done yet.

Speaker 4 (51:40):
Not everybody throws everything away when they when they think.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
And I keep saying, I literally said, Saturday, wherever you
ordered these from just order another one and let's just
get rid of it or put it somewhere that's less important.
You know, it looks yeah, and just like you. I mean,
the chair looks completely fine except that one little thing.
And you know, and then when you put your arm
on it, you know, one side it'll dip and it

(52:08):
bothers you. You know, it's like that, Yeah, because it's
not supposed to be like that. Yeah, And somehow I
keep being blamed that I did it. I don't know
how I did it, but I don't think I did it.

Speaker 4 (52:20):
You'll sit hard. I've noticed you'll say.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
You said same thing.

Speaker 10 (52:24):
Your chair.

Speaker 3 (52:25):
It's what I call plopping down.

Speaker 1 (52:26):
You flop down real hard. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:28):
Show hunt Jack said, if you'll take him hunting, he'll
come back.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
Well, after y'all play golf, I will.

Speaker 4 (52:32):
Well, you need to come and PLoP down on that
bench I made because it's super solid. And Greg is
just jealous of my craftsman ship.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
I'm gonna bring my feelings, says Jesus.

Speaker 4 (52:40):
I'm a carpenter.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
I'm gonna get over and work with that area you
got for the kids.

Speaker 7 (52:44):
This is the Rick Burger's show.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
When sometimes you just hear things, and you watch things
and you just tilt your head. This Jeff Daniels thing today, Hey,
what's going on? I'm so sorry with y'all. I mean
because I know we kind of like Jeff Daniels again,
but I mean, this is just why this well, this
goes back again to what we keep saying. You know,
with the start of this year and this new adventure

(53:12):
of the four of us are on, we got to
keep things real. And it's even okay to say you
have a preference, but you got to keep it real.
I mean, you can't get off in a world of
just you know, the Emperor has no clothing, you know,
and we're pretending.

Speaker 8 (53:29):
That he does.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
So here we go. When I say this headline, if
you haven't heard this story yet, when I say this headline,
we have it. What's gonna What do y'all think? Do
you have the exact quote? Or should I give the
headline first? Okay? Jeff Daniels is lamenting over Kamala Harris
not being elected president. He can't believe that we didn't

(53:53):
elect Let me say it again, Kamala Harris. We all
have political differences, not he's mening over say back when
he was running that we didn't pick Bill Clinton. Yeah,
you know that, But we're talking about lamenting. We didn't
pick Barack Obama. Okay, lamenting, we didn't pick Kamala Harris. Look,

(54:13):
I oppose Clinton, I oppose Obama and the way that
they see the world on most things. Okay, but they're
capable people, right, yeah, okay, Kamala Harris. Okay. So and
here come just when you thought, well, okay, that's silly
to lament that you had a preference you didn't like Trump,
he goes further. And when I say this next thing,

(54:37):
I can't believe what I'm reading. Suggest if we had
all elected Kamala Harris, and don't forget what party this
guy was actually from, Kamala Harris would have governed like
wait for it, Abraham Lincoln. Oh my, Abraham Lincoln. You're
talking about the Republican Abraham Lincoln. You're talking about in

(55:01):
the middle of the Civil War. You're talking about ended
slavery and all that. Abraham Lincoln. You're comparing Kamala Harris
to Abraham Lincoln. I think that Jeff Daniels should be
taken in for some sort of he needs to take
a cognitive test. He needs to be tested to see

(55:21):
worth remember where he is normally. This is unbelievable. I
mean it's okay to say that was your preference. I don't.
I mean, I can disagree with that and wonder where
you're coming up with. You can even say anything but Trump. Again,
I don't agree with that. But but but I can.
You can have that point of view and may not
think there's something wrong with you saying that Kamala Harris

(55:44):
would have governed like Abraham Lincoln, and what a good
choice it would have been a Lincoln. I mean, that's
like somebody's saying, I just wish the Bulls would have
picked Rick Burgess back when they picked Michael Jordan's right.
You know if Rick Burgess would have come back, Yeah,
he could have. He could have been the greatest basketball

(56:06):
player ever. I tell you you would have played. He
would have played like doctor j Yeah. I mean you'd
be like what I mean, that's crazy. So this was
on some podcast, Yeah, it looks like it was.

Speaker 6 (56:17):
It was the Best People podcast with Nicole Wallace, Which
how how out of touch and just self important do
you have to be to call your podcasts the best
people and invite people on and say these are the
best people.

Speaker 4 (56:34):
I only talk to the best people. Nicole Wallace, of
course that uh corrupt? Uh what was she on CNN?

Speaker 1 (56:42):
I believe MSNBC.

Speaker 6 (56:43):
Okay, yeah, she's just an absolute hack and yes, and
just tool for the Democrat Party.

Speaker 10 (56:52):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
And speaking of Kamala Harris, she was mocked online for
for literally celebrating the one year anniversary for failed presidential
campaigning a president Joe Biden and Doris kind of uh
Kamala uh, shortly after dropping out of the race on
July twenty first, twenty twenty four. But it's almost I mean,

(57:14):
is that when you like, if you're a former you know,
let's say baseball player, you celebrate going oh for three
a year from today. You know, it's like how you
post it or something and hey, it blew a save
a year ago today.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
You know, why are you celebrating that?

Speaker 3 (57:28):
Well, it goes by the way, you didn't win anything,
you were you were handed oh.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
You got Yeah. Well you also go back to this
is why we keep talking about this fake world. Pick
six a year ago today, This hands and horns out,
this hanging on to Kamala Harris even after the nation,
the nation could not have spoken any any louder on
Kamala Harris and hanging on still pretending that was a

(57:56):
good idea. Is weird, There's it's not it's not even,
it's not even, it's not even necessary. Text nations saying
this is all a PR stunt. This must be the
promotion of the next dumb and dumber seat with Jeff
Daniels back character. He's a character, But I mean, think

(58:16):
about this.

Speaker 3 (58:17):
Though she didn't win to win a single primary vote,
she was handed the Democratic nomination, and she's celebrating that.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
Yeah, yeah, I think they buck the system. Yeah, I'm celebrating.
This guy's health was so bad he had to step down, right,
but he was fine. I got elevated, celebrate, And.

Speaker 6 (58:34):
Jeff Daniels on that same podcast was like, there's no
such thing as decency anymore, there's no such thing.

Speaker 4 (58:39):
As the rule of law and all this stuff.

Speaker 6 (58:42):
And you're like, they're they're the ones that were weaponizing
the justice system against Trump. Where where what happened to
all those cases? He's a convicted fella in all that
what was it? Thirty four felonies?

Speaker 1 (58:54):
We are living trying trying to say thing enough, things
enough that do somehow make it true. I ignore everything
that's inconsistent with my point of view, as if it's
not happening or never happened. I mean, the Democratic Party is.
I mean, then we get into this weird interview with

(59:14):
Hunter Biden where he goes off on this well he's
a class act and there's not enough beeps in I mean,
who let him out of wherever they were holding him?

Speaker 4 (59:25):
The conversation sounds like a truck backing up.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
That's good, that's great. We talked about Jeff Daniels saying
that Kamala Harris would have been a great president, putting
her even in the same sentence with Abraham Lincoln. The left,
they seem to be there. They can't hide there. Crazy.

(59:51):
It's getting more and more bizarre.

Speaker 8 (59:54):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
Hunter Biden apparently has been unleashed and boyd he sat
down for an interview. As Adler said, we would try
to play We're all going to play some of it,
but there's so many beats. It sounds like a large
truck backing up. It really does. He is probably he's
a classy fellow, Gray, I mean, a classy fellow. He classy.

Speaker 8 (01:00:18):
I just.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
It's hard to unpack everything this train wreck. But here's
when he accidentally starts talking about crack cocaine and explains
how easy it is to crack to make crack, y'all.

Speaker 4 (01:00:32):
He just won't stop talking about He just keeps going.
He won't stop talking about crack.

Speaker 15 (01:00:39):
There's the only difference between crack cocaine and cocaine is
studying by of carbonate and water and heat.

Speaker 13 (01:00:44):
Literally, that's it, and those things are pretty much free.
If you go to like a science store, this is free.
You can go to a your neighborhood convenience store this morning. Anyway.

Speaker 15 (01:00:57):
I don't want to tell people how to make how
to make crack cocaine, but it literally is a manage
jar cocaine and baking. So definitely, the experience it was vastly,
vastly different, and like, for real, I I feel really
reluctant to kind of have some euphoric discussion. I know
you're not asking me to do that, but have some
uphoric discussion about.

Speaker 13 (01:01:17):
Crack cocaine seems okay. No, it's the exact opposite. I'm saying.
I don't want to have the experience of some you for.

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
A Greek call.

Speaker 15 (01:01:27):
That's how powerful crack cocaine. Is Does crack cocaine make
you act any differently?

Speaker 1 (01:01:32):
No?

Speaker 15 (01:01:33):
Is it safer than alcohol? Probably people think of crack
as being dirty. It's the exact opposite.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
You good night. First of all, who's plow with the kappone?

Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
That's the the guy that does the show.

Speaker 1 (01:01:46):
The podcast must be a good one.

Speaker 4 (01:01:48):
His own Channel five News. That was courtesy of Channel
five News. That's the name of the of the show.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
Okay, so he a lot when he says, I'm not
trying to promote crack cocaine while promoting it, Yeah, uh,
he just told us that crack cocaine was easy to make. Uh. Yeah,
he don't want to tell anybody, But then he did,
you can function with no issue with it and just
makes life better.

Speaker 10 (01:02:12):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
And it's not as dangerous as alcohol, and it's clean.
I mean, if really, if the if you took the
phrase crack cocaine and put in a supplement of some time,
you would think he was some endorser influencer talking about
a new supplement.

Speaker 8 (01:02:29):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
I mean, if you know, if we didn't know that
crack cocaine were bad words and you just put another
word there, it sounds like he's telling you, now here's
something you might want to draw, and uh, it's wow.
You talk about a weirdo and a messed up guy.
It's mhmm. So he also which we I mean, it's

(01:02:50):
it's a long interview. We don't have time to get
into all of it. But he was to say the
lad He went on to go after the current Democrat party,
the elites there, He went after Obama, he went after
Pelosi at one point said that George Clooney is a brand,
not an actor. Went after the Clintons. So so he

(01:03:15):
just went on a tirade. And my favorite is he's
now trying to and I don't know why anyone is
even it doesn't matter anymore. The I'm not trying to
tell the Democrats what to do, just like Hunter Biden's
not trying to promote crack cocaine. But but you, y'all,
y'all gotta y'all better start worrying about what you're gonna
do now. This thing of Kamala Harris was the next

(01:03:37):
Abraham Lincoln, and Joe Biden was perfectly okay, we just
gave him some ambion. And of course Hunter Biden, you know,
being an addict conveniently and has lied so much he
did he know how to speak any other way. He
conveniently leaves out. As y'all said in the Break, Joe
Biden when he showed us that he had lost his
cognitive skills in the debate. He didn't just finish a trip.

(01:03:59):
He had four days to rest and relax to get
ready for the debate. That was well documented. And of
course he's claiming that he performed that way because he'd
been traveling all over the blank in world and they
were giving him ambient to help him sleep, and he
came into the debate, you know, coming off ambient blankety
blank blankety blank blank clickity clickity clack. So do you

(01:04:21):
have that part or they do you have anything you
can play from that that didn't have the F bomb
in it?

Speaker 4 (01:04:26):
Here he is kind of just going off. This is
believed here.

Speaker 6 (01:04:30):
He is just going off on the entire Obama, Pelosi,
David axel Rock, all.

Speaker 4 (01:04:36):
These folks from the Democrat Party.

Speaker 15 (01:04:38):
Get ready, and James Carville, who hasn't run a race
in forty years, and David Axelrod, who had one success
in his political life, and that was Barack Obama, and
that was because of Barack Obama, not because David Axelrod
and David pluff In, all of these guys in the
pod Save America, guys who were junior speech writers in
you know, on Barack Obama's Senate staff, who been dining

(01:05:00):
out on the relationship with him for years making millions
of dollars, The Anita Duns of the world, who's made
forty fifty million dollars off the Democratic Party.

Speaker 13 (01:05:10):
They're all going to insert their judgment over a.

Speaker 15 (01:05:13):
Man who has figured out, unlike anybody else, how to
get elected to the United States Senate over seven times.

Speaker 3 (01:05:19):
Like that's something to be proud that a man that's
made millions of dollars shopping wayluence across the climate.

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
That's not a compliment. You basically said, everybody's been critical
my dad, who was the best weasel of all time.
I mean, I mean he was able to turn this
thing into an empire for our entire family.

Speaker 4 (01:05:42):
So can I can I interest you in a painting?

Speaker 1 (01:05:45):
Right now? Let's go there too.

Speaker 4 (01:05:47):
And they're worth half a million dollars for no reason.

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
No reason at all. Everybody loves that. It's not good,
It's right.

Speaker 4 (01:05:55):
I need to be more like teethy. He's so teethy.

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
Everybody loves to show up millions of dollar dollars for
paintings from a crack at it. Yeah right, yeah, crack great.
I mean we put him up there with Van Go
like we put Kamala Harris up there with Abraham Lincoln.
Oh boy, and Van Goh had his own problems with
at least you could paint good.

Speaker 8 (01:06:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:06:14):
He sold, He and his father sold our country out
to China, to Ukraine just to line their pockets in there,
their family's pockets.

Speaker 4 (01:06:22):
They're an absolute corrupt joke.

Speaker 1 (01:06:25):
And cracked top of the hour and their spokesperson hunter
Byden into the backyard.

Speaker 3 (01:06:37):
I guess it was Saturday morning, early seven, six forty
five seven. The dogs, of course, something was they were
barking or something like that.

Speaker 8 (01:06:45):
And uh.

Speaker 3 (01:06:47):
And uh and I'm out there. I'm half awake, you know,
I'm just I'm sleepy, just trying to get going. And
as you get older, you understand what I'm saying. Sure,
trying to get your body to start walking, wrapping up.
And and I noticed one of the dogs was peeing.
And so sometimes because you because one of because of
about the dogs, sometimes you'll chase peace spots with with water,

(01:07:09):
so you'll water it down, so the whole yard you turn.

Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
Into a piece that when your life's over, I know,
I know as a marker.

Speaker 3 (01:07:16):
So sometimes you can hear the hose from the inside
turn on the water pressure, you know, you can hear
it kind of. And so I come back in and
and Terry said, uh, have you been outside like that?
And I said, what are you talking about? She said,
you're in your underwear?

Speaker 1 (01:07:33):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:07:34):
And and and I thought I had shorts on. I
thought I had short and and I had I had
I had underwear on standing in my backyard, just watering
the grass. And and I thought the whole time, even
if I'm in my shorts, it was early, I don't
think any briefs.

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
Yes, yeah, a little tighter than I wanted to.

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
Yeah, and uh, and I thought about you because you you, uh,
you pumped to a gasoline in your underwear at gas stations.
I was wearing white grippies right, And this wasn't near
as bad in my mind. I don't think anybody saw me,
because who's up that early anyway?

Speaker 1 (01:08:13):
Looking out the wind. We will see you a convenience store,
I promise you that. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
Yeah, but Terry was so embarrassed for me, and I'm like,
it's not a big deal.

Speaker 1 (01:08:20):
She says, what do you mean? You're in your underwear
water in the grass. What are you doing? You have
prompted me to remember something from the weekend. I did
not tell y'all i'd forgotten, but I think I tried
to protect myself. No, speedy, you have just prompted that.
A nice job, by the way, making sure that the
grass survives well.

Speaker 4 (01:08:39):
Dog, you hit.

Speaker 1 (01:08:43):
If you want to know when the best days of
your life are over, when that's when that's something you're
out there doing on the day off.

Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
Okay, I thought, I like, what I what have I
become to make sure that we don't have a piece?

Speaker 1 (01:08:57):
Do you remember me? Do you remember me telling you
from the weekend when the guy at the pig thought
I was retired? Yes? Do you remember that? Yeah, so
let me go back to that because I left something out.
So we're at the farm, which I wish we would
do more, and I'd like to do it again this
weekend if all possible. And one of my favorite things
is waking up at the farm. That's one of my

(01:09:18):
favorite things. You get you a cup of coffee, You
roll out to the rocking chair. I toned the porch,
not the one that's broke. You try to get out
there first and get the good one. And you know,
are sitting on the little screen in porch in the back,
you know, actually laid back there on the little chairs,
got one of these swinging slash bed slash seats on it.

(01:09:39):
Went to sleep with a slight swing out there, just
looking out over the pasture and all that. So anyway,
but so you're kind of that motive. I don't want
to do anything down here that's that's remotely like an
organized regular day. So you get up and what do
you do? You just grab, you know, something that you
maybe were walking around in before you went to bed
last night. Put your gym shorts on, put your T

(01:10:00):
shirt on, get your cap on, you know. And Cherry says, up,
we don't have milk. And so I'm like, and she
was making pancakes. Oh, I mean the smell. I mean
there were pancakes available trainers shine, I'm working out today too. Well,
they were healthy pancakes, I think somebody said. So she

(01:10:23):
said I can't I got to have milk, And I said, yeah, sure,
I'll just run the pig. So you know, I go
to the pig. I do. You'll know that scene that's
when the guy thought I was retiring. Get back, give
her the milk. Hey baby, you're why are you working
on them pancakes? I'm on ease over here, kind of
check things out, get my coffee, walk around, and so

(01:10:44):
I go over across the street and I get over
and I keep realizing. When I get ready to open
the gate, I'm like, how come I I thought these
shorts had pockets on them. I can't get my I
can't get my phone. Why where are the pockets on this?
And then I start feeling of it. I'm like, gosh,
am I if I got two pair of shorts. And
I start kind of messing around and I realize my

(01:11:05):
shorts are on inside out. I have gone into the pig.
I've been walking around hanging out with Jemison.

Speaker 4 (01:11:13):
That guy thought you were retired.

Speaker 1 (01:11:17):
That explains everything he goes. This guy's not even trying anyone.
There's no way he's still functioning in society and contributing.
He's walking around with his shorts inside out. You know,
So if anybody heard over the weekend, if somebody saw
me drunk at Big Wig. That's why that look. I

(01:11:37):
can't believe that I got the whole time. Hey, I've
had him on a while too. I've been I've been
kicking around and going around. I've been out and i've
been out amongst the people for this serious conversations. I'm
not in any hurry, so I'm stopping talking to people.
I kept wondering why everybody kept treating me like, you know,
are you okay? Yeah? You've ever seen like a pair
of gym shorts that like have the lining inside of

(01:11:59):
it and they're on inside out? I mean, you look
like you complete anything right, And it's pretty obvious. There's
those pockets. They're flopping, they're flopping the other way. Yeah. Luck,
I've got rabbit ears hanging around it. So so I wondering,
thought you I now apologize to the guy who thought
I was retired because I did look retired. You are correct.
I don't know how to break this to y'all, and

(01:12:27):
it's tough. I love my wife and and I'm pretty
sure she loves me, and she seems to, but she
doesn't pay attention to me that much. I mean, I mean,
it's like she seems to be very busy with stuff,
very busy, always doing things, and I think, and she
will refer to me sometimes as a distraction, you know,

(01:12:51):
I'm in the middle of something that you are such
a distraction. And I'm like, well, but I am. And
then she'll go, don't be gross, and I'm like, oh, okay,
and so and I got that again. So I asked
the question. I said, baby, I've had my shorts on
inside out for hours. Now did you not notice that?
She goes, I'm up getting the coffee ready. I'm trying

(01:13:13):
to make these pancakes. I'm not paying attention to you
and what you have on. And I said, well, I
thought since I had some short of shorts on, you
might be checking in legs. She said, don't be gross again,
and I said, no, good legs for sixty year old.
She goes, did you get the milk? That's all I
care about, And of course I did, But no, I don't.

(01:13:34):
It's not uncommon that my wife didn't notice these things,
because I you know, it's unless it's like some sort
of situation where we go and now we will spend
time together, we'll talk, we'll you know, which means I
listen and we and we you know, we we're gonna,
we're gonna, we're gonna really pay attention to each other.
As far as like me just rolling through the house,

(01:13:56):
I don't think Sherry would know if I rode through
with nothing on. I don't think she would know if
she was in the middle of something. You know what
I mean. This is making me feel better. Yeah, this
is because you remember.

Speaker 3 (01:14:06):
When I hit my face the other day on the
on the bricks and it and it kind of gave
me a little strawberry here cut I what maybe four
days later, Terry sitting beside me, she goes, what happened
to your face?

Speaker 1 (01:14:18):
And it's already had a scab. I'm like, you missed
the whole and you missed the whole process, like last
weekend and it's Thursday. You just now seeing my face?
Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:14:29):
After we put the kids down to bed every night,
my wife will say, because we got all the you know,
you got to clean up the house, you gotta do dishes,
you got to get the dogs, you got to get
ready for the next day, prepare the kid's bag, all
that much going on. My wife will say, hey, I'll
because I'll distract, I'll distract. You'll distract Rick, You'll distract

(01:14:51):
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:14:52):
She says that there's no way for me to be
in the room and not be a distraction.

Speaker 4 (01:14:55):
But I'll do.

Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
Talking about that. That's not a compliment.

Speaker 6 (01:14:59):
So my wife has a phrase as shoes every dingy. Hey,
I'm locking in here. I'm locking in Okay, don't leave
me alone. I'm locking in.

Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
And that's so I know what that means, getting the
coffee on, getting the you know, getting the mixed together
for the pancakes. She was all in that kitchen and
she was wide open.

Speaker 4 (01:15:14):
Hey, I'm locking in here, so she needs leave me alone.

Speaker 1 (01:15:17):
Yeah, and how she knew all she heard was me
going headed to the pig. She never even noticed what
I had on.

Speaker 8 (01:15:24):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
Yeah, the thing I worry about sometimes if somebody ever
kills me, they're going to ask Sherry what happens. She's
not gonna know, right, you know, Yeah, I don't know.
I just saw him. Did you get did you get
a look at the person? I heard Rick hollering about something?

Speaker 4 (01:15:38):
What was he wearing when he left? Why was he
wearing one up? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:15:41):
Yeah, yeah, he's missing What did he have? On no
idea beard. He had a beard on, yeah, and shorts
on inside of rather large fellow beard.

Speaker 4 (01:15:50):
You know, he was acting gregariously.

Speaker 1 (01:15:52):
I remember he had a hat on because I kept
thinking that sides were sticking out and he needed a haircut.
Those kinds of things they noticed.

Speaker 3 (01:15:58):
Yeah, they don't pay attention too to what we're saying.
Because I went by Terry the other day and she
was doing something. I think she was making us some.

Speaker 1 (01:16:05):
Breakfast balls, and I said, hey, I'll be right back.

Speaker 3 (01:16:08):
And I'm gone for twenty twenty five minutes, ran into
town to get something, come back, come back in.

Speaker 1 (01:16:13):
She said, what have you been doing? Like I was outside?
I said, I ran to the store. What do you
mean he ran to the store?

Speaker 3 (01:16:19):
I said, I told you I was leaving. And she
just was a response like okay, but she's not listening.

Speaker 1 (01:16:24):
And I do that too. I'm sure. I want to
ask you this question on the thing that we've talked
about many many times, okay, and that is I don't
know when it happened. I've searched the Book of Genesis.
I can't find it, but apparently somewhere God, you know,
he made male and he made female and he looked,
and I've looked. I don't see it in scripture. I
see him say it's not good that man is alone.

(01:16:46):
I've seen him say, you can eat of everything. You
know that every tree. Don't eat of this tree. I
see that. I never see and thou shalt take out
the trash, you know what I mean? And this is
not the role of the woman. I don't see that
in there. Somehow this happened. But I want to ask
you this question because anytime I hear, hey, there, trash
needs to go out, and I'll go over there. What's

(01:17:07):
your what what's your tempo on getting the new bag in?
Do you take it out and tie it, set it
to the side, yes, new bag in? Or do you
go ahead and take it out? Come back putting new back.
If I don't put a new bag in, then I'll forget. Okay,
I'll go there. You'll forget that quick. Yeah, wow, that's impressive.

Speaker 3 (01:17:27):
I take out and then when i'm come I come
back in the house from taking the garbage out, immediately.

Speaker 1 (01:17:33):
Put new bags in. Go ahead and get it over with.
When you take it out and go ahead, you.

Speaker 3 (01:17:36):
Got then you got your trash sitting down.

Speaker 1 (01:17:37):
If you've got a leaker.

Speaker 4 (01:17:40):
Get it out of there.

Speaker 1 (01:17:40):
We don't have a Do you put your new bag
in quickly?

Speaker 4 (01:17:43):
I take too long? Aaron always has to does it.

Speaker 1 (01:17:45):
That's right, that's what I sure that you're not gonna
put a new back in. I said, well, let me
finish time up the old bag. I mean, I mean
I'd like to get the old bag out. And like
you guys, this is garbage. I thought we'd want this
out quick, right. Do you know most people put the
bag back in inside out? I know that, okay, trust me,
I've heard about all that. Oh really, do you ever
struggle getting the bag in there? Right?

Speaker 8 (01:18:06):
On?

Speaker 1 (01:18:06):
Those kind of trash cans is what we have in
the downstairs. And it's the one those trash cans where
the thing pulls all the way out and it sits
inside a metal closed thing. Yeah, yeah, and you I
can never get the bag on that right. What's that
secret on that? You know what I mean? It's it's
a separate it's it's got an inside hand inside of
can just put the top end and then push it down.

(01:18:28):
I always have hangover. It never never seems right.

Speaker 6 (01:18:31):
No, it never works out right either slipped down in there,
or you got all kinds of hanging out like a
like a sheet in the wind, flapping around, and then
you pick up the bag and then q tips fall out,
and then and then and then it's a nightmare and
you're trying to be quiet because the kids are asleep.

Speaker 4 (01:18:47):
Clang clang. Oh no, here's ruby.

Speaker 1 (01:18:52):
By the way. How about this?

Don't put that in the trash Now is there a
box in the trash can? Now the trash can is full,
there's nothing but a box.

Speaker 4 (01:19:13):
Yeah, let's just take the box out, especially not a
flattened box.

Go ahead, Hey boy, that's Perry out of Troy.

Speaker 2 (01:20:16):
Uh get.

Speaker 14 (01:20:18):
I wanted to get Greg's opinion on something I did
yesterday or didn't do. Actually, I was in I was
in a thrift store and I saw a gold watch,
and I love watches, and I almost bought it, but
on the face of it, it had the Mason's logo,
and uh, I thought it I thought it might be
ironic to buy it and kind of wear it. But

(01:20:38):
I know that stolen valor is pretty bad, and I
couldn't imagine what stolen valor would be like. With the Masons.

Speaker 1 (01:20:44):
I made the right to say, yes, oh, you can't
do that, don't want that. You have to ask those
valor's right? Don't you have to ask one to be one?
Something like? Well, let me ask you this. What kind
of mason sells is watched upon a good point? You
don't go out and wear a Mason's watch and not
be a Mason, right, No? That one? No, No, that's
not allowed. What's the difference between a Mason and a

(01:21:04):
shriner to say we go? I think it's just a
higher I don't know, gosh of mind. We've had this before.
You told us not to dabble. I think they're they're
tied together. Greg Rick Burgess showed, no, I'm not. I
don't know anything. I don't see there. You know everything.
You don't play games.

Speaker 8 (01:22:28):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:22:28):
I leave my laptop around find weird stuff, and there's
the victure of me falling asleep with the crackpike.

Speaker 6 (01:22:33):
When the spoiled brat villain kid from the movie grows up,
that's what he turns into.

Speaker 4 (01:22:38):
It's Hammer Biden.

Speaker 1 (01:22:40):
You always have a reference to a movie.

Speaker 6 (01:22:41):
Now he's a spoiled brat villain's kid that's growing up
and shopped his influence across the planet, sold out the
United States and pretends to be the to have the
moral high ground.

Speaker 1 (01:22:50):
You didn't have enough breath for it. We continue, Rick
Burgers show unscreen phone calls, go ahead.

Speaker 10 (01:23:00):
Gonna kill me. I wasn't expecting that at all. Now,
ask for the Masonic watch. Don't ask me how I
know or nothing. But anyone who is not one is
not supposed to display the great lights. That's it's the
overall ordeal. Whether you have the decal and the truck

(01:23:20):
or whatever, you're not supposed to display the great lights,
the gray lights. That's exactly how it's.

Speaker 1 (01:23:28):
Are you saying gray lights?

Speaker 10 (01:23:31):
No great lights?

Speaker 1 (01:23:34):
Great great great lights?

Speaker 10 (01:23:36):
Yes, great lights, they're out there. It's you're not supposed
to if you don't, if you're not a certain level
of one as well, you have to be the first,
on second to the third a master mason to display
the great lights. Whether it's the decal or watch does
not matter. And yeah, I can't say how.

Speaker 1 (01:24:00):
That end up in a thrill. Yeah, who what kind
of mason would go and hawk one of these watches.
They shouldn't do that, should they?

Speaker 10 (01:24:08):
I agree completely. I agree.

Speaker 1 (01:24:09):
Don't know from a divorce everything, but okay, I got you.
Do you have to be like a brick Mason to
be a Mason rock Mason. All right? You know again
this is not good, not it.

Speaker 4 (01:24:21):
You got to be part of a secret society.

Speaker 1 (01:24:23):
Literally called the Masons. We think that's a weird ties
or something like that. The long time, Thank you. I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:24:29):
I don't know, because they're building up. They build society
and they control it.

Speaker 1 (01:24:38):
We continue. Rick Burgers Show, unscreen phone calls, go ahead

Hey, yes, I was listening to your Bible study on
the Book of Joe and I started the first episode, okay,
and you were talking about how every every time you pray,
you lay down your family members with fs and bringing
back up. I was wondering, do you do that for Greg,
because maybe that would get rid of correct.

Speaker 1 (01:25:01):
You know what, It's so interesting you said that Greg
does not make every prayer, but lately he has, so yeah,
he's on the list now.

Speaker 8 (01:25:11):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:25:11):

Good morning Fells.

Speaker 1 (01:26:35):
Hey buddy, I'm trying to see it.

Speaker 10 (01:26:37):
It was like a week or two ago there was
a singer did the national anthem and change the lyrics
from Home of the.

Speaker 14 (01:26:43):
Braive to Home of the Gays?

Speaker 1 (01:26:45):
Who did? Who did that?

Speaker 8 (01:26:48):
I can't remember the name, but Adler it's easy to find.

Speaker 1 (01:26:51):
I think it's Calvin Wilbur. I love you. Bring up Mason.
That was a caller, Greg. None of us are, None
of us are. Perry would like to pray for you,
and that doesn't mean we're I think the person in
Paris scenario that's in trouble is the one who got
rid of the watch. So there, I'm thinking it got it,

(01:27:12):
got taken? Oh, Greg, tough one off text Nation Rick.
Here's here's a would you rather you have to listen
to Putting on the Ritz for twenty four hours? Or
Uptown Girl? Which one? Oh, Uptown Girl I think may
be the worst song ever recorded. And that's hard. Yeah,
that's horrible. Okay. I'd like to hear George Strait's version

(01:27:34):
of it. Yep, how do you feel about it? Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:27:38):
I found Home of the Gaze by the way.

Speaker 1 (01:27:40):
By the way, I think I'd rather hear uptown girl,
thank you. Just say that.

Speaker 4 (01:27:46):
By the way, Home of the game, Jesus.

Speaker 7 (01:27:54):
Is the Rick Burgess show.

Speaker 1 (01:28:01):
Phone calls talked about that someone took the national anthem
and instead of saying Home of the Brave, they're saying
Home of the gays. And Adler has researched this and
he believes he has the answer. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:28:15):
So this is American Idol Top ten finalist cha Is
who sings it.

Speaker 4 (01:28:21):
And I can understand. I can understand it.

Speaker 6 (01:28:25):
Again, I've never heard I've never heard of this person,
but I can understand why they chose this particular anthem
because the shoulder, the shoulder pads alone on this guy's jacket.

Speaker 4 (01:28:35):
Kind of say, but here's the real.

Speaker 1 (01:28:38):
Version, jacket with no shirt on.

Speaker 4 (01:28:40):
Say, I'm talking about jacket, no shirt on mega mega
shoulder pads. Here's the here's the real version. This is
that a Houston Rockets game.

Speaker 1 (01:29:01):
So there you go.

Speaker 4 (01:29:01):
All right, So that's the real version that it's like
I said, right, there's a lot of that.

Speaker 3 (01:29:09):
I don't know where I was, and you look, huys
close everything and dredge.

Speaker 4 (01:29:14):

Speaker 3 (01:30:37):

Speaker 1 (01:30:39):
Okay, this was unless I'm changing the lyrics to something
like that, that's a sign I've changed the lyrics. Yeah,
just one or two mini runs. Yeah, that's a little
little all right. So some some other things that are
out there today. And I know, Greg, you want the

Now he may not from Miami. From Miami, they got
the nomore. What was it, Caleb cam cam cam Ward
cam Warden. I just said it. I literally just said it.

(01:31:42):
I just said, are you sick? I was I was playing.

Speaker 3 (01:31:48):
I was playing my wife Terry. You were me Okay,
I did hear you filter. It's a little weird, right,
I was so focused on him, I didn't hear you.

Speaker 1 (01:31:55):
Well. And how many people said that Southwest Airlines? Remember look,
I remember Southwest Airlines all the way back to you
get a number the car and in case they hear
the letters one, I mean numbers one through whatever. Come on,
you got your trying to get a good number. Then
they just went to all call you know, cattle call Vision. Uh,
they're they're they're ditching the decades old open seating after

(01:32:19):
years of holding out. They will now do reserve seats.
They've announced major change coming to the current seating system.

Speaker 8 (01:32:28):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:32:28):
They're based a foresight of Texas. They said they will
now allow customers to purchase tickets in different boarding groups
by selecting where they want to sit upon boarding the plane,
so that they are the last airline to drop open seating.
How you feel about it. I don't like open seating,

(01:32:50):
so you glad to see it go. It's it's just
a crapshoot. I don't like it. I don't care for it.
It's all about where you get in the line, how
you feel about it. Yep. And you know I've often
said too that, and I know people have said they've
studied it and it's not more efficient. So I'll drop
that if that's true. If you think about there was

(01:33:11):
a time where if you bought first class, it's a
lot different than the rest of the plane. Yeah. The
only thing really different now is you board after they've
let every special group board, you finally board first of
the people that are just kind of here. You're the
first ones there. Your seat is bigger, and they have

(01:33:31):
a basket of snacks that they will let you grab
in maybe one more time than everybody else has to
do snack service. And that's about it. Okay, there's nothing
really overly special about it. So I started thinking, and
we talked about this. I was talking about this with
someone just this week. I know that people go, well,
we're trying to let first class people board early. You

(01:33:52):
don't board first anymore. You bored early. But what happens
is you sit down and now it's buttfest. If you're
if you're the row seat, you you literally have everybody
else's butt. You're sitting there is butt after butt after
butt goes by, you know, and then then every now

(01:34:12):
then you get people who do a turn to see
if you've got any room so they can try to stick.
And now it's it's crouching the face and you know,
and the kids being drug You know, really, it would
probably be more peaceful for the people paying more money
if you just said, y'all just go over there, go
get you'll get you a cup of coffee, get your snack.

(01:34:33):
We'll get all these people on the plane, and once
we're done with the the slow inefficient cattle loading, then
we're going to have the plane perfectly ready, and then
we're going to tell y'all, now get on sitting your seats,
and when you sit down, we'll have you, you know,
drink a water or soft drink and some snacks waiting
on you. This thing of getting on first, I know

(01:34:56):
it feels and I like the feeling of it because
I like to move on. But I I've realized first
in that situation, it's more claustrophobic. You're stuck there waiting
on this inefficient system to go by so inefficiently. Uh,
And I'm thinking it might be more peaceful to actually
be the last people to get on. Everything's ready now,
y'all just get on. We're about to leave. It's a reward, yeah,

(01:35:18):
you get I think I think that might be better.

Speaker 4 (01:35:21):
Yes, straight up. Airlines needs to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:35:24):
And now when there's chaos going on, you're just sit
over going Now, when all that's over, they'll put us
on when you know when it's time for you to go.
We're about to back up, y'all the last ones, and
we shutting the door when y'all get in. I think
that's better. Last hide your headlocked with that felt like
it last on first off, because they're going to have
to come up with reasons for these seats to cost more.

(01:35:46):
And I know a lot of people get rewarded and
get to sit there, but still that means they've done
something to be rewarded. First Class is starting to be
a reward or any more expensive ticket that doesn't really
give you all that much a different experience. You know,
you get off the plane first. That's nice, So I
why not get on last? Get off first?

Speaker 4 (01:36:05):
That makes more sense?

Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
I like it.

Speaker 4 (01:36:07):
Yeah, and then you don't deal with what you called
a butt fest.

Speaker 1 (01:36:10):
Think about how many people going by that. You realize
how many people go by you when your first one's
sitting the seats on the plane, other than the wheelchair
people that are never ready, you know, and then military
and then somebody some some other group you know, and
all that's fine, but it's I think first class should
load last. Yeah, I think that'd been more pleasant, makes sense,

(01:36:34):
top of the hour. I've never flown first class never. No,
that's a shocker.

Speaker 4 (01:36:41):
I haven't either.

Speaker 1 (01:36:42):
Yeah, but are you Greg? No?

Speaker 4 (01:36:44):
So that you're the shocker? Rick, you're the shocker?

Speaker 1 (01:36:47):
No, you're buttstock.
