a bit of a rocky start. So there's nothing that's
more comforting for you to have a little bit anxious
about something. And you know probably the person that you
know you've you know when when you when you need

(02:34):
to be encouraged, you think you look over on the
bleachers of all of the encouragers in your life. Rarely
do I see Greg sitting there.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Now, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Encouragement is not his strong suit. That's and he has
a lot of strong suits and a.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Lot of them. Hey and dog gone it. I've been
on record.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
I love my baby brother, okay, and you know he
and I've been together for a very long time.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
So shared twin beds until we were grown right there.
And by the way, it's not our twin beds. But
I think what you and I should do one time,
just for old times sake, the next time we're all
hunting and we're at camp house, you and I go
to that room that has the two twin beds, and
we go in there and lay down and.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
We go back like we had our room. That's it. Yeah.
So so after you were there, so and you know
speed you listen to it at some point. But I
was some my agenda today right well mayby not not
now after Greg's Yeah, after Greg's talking about it. Yeah.
So anyway, giving you nothing yesterday, yesterday's.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yesterday, let me tell everybody and then you can weigh
in yesterday's Bible study. I was, I was, I was
a little bit anxious about and not that I mean
the Word of God.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Everything in it matters, or it wouldn't be there.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
And it's amazing the prophecy of Daniel eleven absolutely amazing.
And we didn't get through all of it. We got
through the first twenty verses. But I was telling the guys,
you know, looking for honestly, to be honest, a little encouragement,
and I said, I'm a little bit concerned. Adler saw
me kind of walking around, you know, pacing about it.
I said, usually I kind of know where we're going

(04:18):
on the Wednesday Bible study, and yesterday, honestly I didn't.
And I kept studying it and studying it, and I'm like, well,
this is just all prophecy, which is fascinating because those
of you that don't know, Daniel eleven is the most detailed,
long running information of prophecy in the entire Bible. And

(04:41):
people have marveled that Daniel in the time that he
lived in, how in the world, people who don't think
the Bible is the Word of God, how in the
world did he nail all this and get this in
such great detail world history? Okay, And so before I
had it ever happened. And so then there's been so

(05:03):
much debate about it because it's so detailed that the
people who opposed the Bible have tried to find a
way to say, Daniel didn't really see this. Somebody's tricking y'all.
They wrote it while this was actually happening. There's no way. Well,
you're right, there's no way. It would take supernatural intervention,
which we believe it is prophecy. But every attempt they've
had to date it and beat it, they can't. They

(05:26):
lose every time. And of course, those of us that
are followers of Christ Matthew twenty four, Jesus tells us
that Daniel was an authentic prophet, and that's all we
had to hear.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
It's pretty good endorsement.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
So anyway, So, but and we came off what I
think was one of the most powerful Bible studies.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
In the book.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
And there've been some good ones in Daniel, but Daniel
ten to me, really, I was really impacted by that.
And there was incredible information there that kind of blew
my mind, and a lot of things there that really
helped me. Well then now I'm coming off that, and
I told Greg and Speedy and Adler and my wife,
I said, I'm just I'm just concerned because this, even

(06:05):
though all this is fascinating when you're teaching it, versus
just reading it. I'm really just going to be teaching
world history. Uh and I don't really. I got to
find application in that, and I did find application. Greg
obviously missed it, but.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Uhthing else set it up and that's what it was,
right and so uh so I so you're correct.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
So I come in today and I think off the
Bible study, I think Greg, I know he's going to
be thrilled because Don Dae came back. Yeah, Donde's he's
been sick and then he's had a new year and
then he's been busy.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Did you check on him why he was sick?

Speaker 2 (06:43):
And so Don Dae brought me, brought peanuts and had
that look on his face.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Like you is Greg going to see you? Where's is?

Speaker 2 (06:50):
He's still got the same office, first time he's been here,
you know, since the show started. And I said, yeah,
So I thought, well, Greg, there's no what grades will
be negative? Now he's got his peanut, he's got all that.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
It's not true.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
And I walked in and I said, have either one
of y'all because I want to tell what the guys do,
because they got so much going on. They usually wait
for the archive like most of you do, and then
they'll pop it in while they're driving and listen to it.
Greg listens to it the next day. I'm just killing in.
So I said, hey, is either one of y'all got
to hear the Bible study yet? You know how you
want to get feedback you're a little concerned about something.

(07:25):
And you were like, no, not yet, but I plan
on it today or sometime. And then Greg said, yeah,
I did, and just eating peanuts, never looks up, never
looks up. Everyone looks up because he's eating his peanuts.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
And I said, well, I was worried it was going
to be more of a history lesson than a Bible study.
And I kind of struggled with how to present it
and I didn't want to there was so much there
and you know, and and Greg's yeah, pretty much right,
pretty much pretty much history lesson.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
It's not a bad thing. And I'm like, wow, thanks Greg,
hard I worked on that. Rick. You told me that's
what it was going to be, okay, But but I
wanted to be reassured that there was a takeaway though.

Speaker 5 (08:02):
No.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah, but you asked me did it sound was it
a little bit like a history class? And then yeah,
it was. That's not negative. Right, it felt negative when
you said, right now, that's just the material that's available.
Somebody was sitting here watching, I can tell you of it.
He gave you zero I did that, and you gave
He gave you yes and no answers, And you were

(08:25):
looking for a conversation. He just was and he just
wasn't going to give it to you. I know, I
was basically Yeah. I mean it was that he had
had peanut crumbs all over his chest. Yeah, it was
exactly like you said, a lot of good facts and
a lot of stuff like that. It was necessary, but
make up for it. It's just making up for it,

(08:47):
trying everything in him to give you more. Uh, can
you help at all?

Speaker 6 (08:54):
You didn't like hearing about Alexander the Greek, Yeah, Slash
the Great.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Yeah, so it's good. I think I was that movie
clipatrack came out of that. I heard that. Yeah, that
was surprising.

Speaker 6 (09:04):
You haven't had any Bible studies really like that.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
You're right, So it was. It was a nice step different.

Speaker 7 (09:15):
It was a nice step to the you know.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
You saw me, didn't you. You saw how many times
did I walk in there and nervously talk about it?

Speaker 6 (09:21):
Yeah, it was a nice step in another category of
Bible study, and you set up a lot of things
and you know it was good.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Well, no one knowing boring was good. Guys, don't worry
about the archive today. I'm fine. Hey, let me ask
you this. Did you feel kind of I'm kidding. I
know these times when your mind wondering a little bit. Yeah,
I'm kidding.

Speaker 7 (09:41):
It was great.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
I know how your heart hurts for people speedy, got
no thing because you have second embarrassment, which means you
do care how people come across. I tried my best
not to walk away sad, but I know you saw it.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Oh yes, I saw it. You all wow. So I
thought my brother would g give me more, especially knowing
that you opened up yesterday prior to the Bible study,
which we need to talk about because I forgot. We
come back to is that you were like, man, I
never hear you say got a little like a little
concern before you speak or or bring a message. You

(10:16):
never say that. Wouldn't knowing that you said that, I
thought that your baby brother would then make no man,
I know you were concerned about it. You did a
good job. I mean you didn't do a good job.
You understand you're gonna have to. Well, I made it.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
I made an executive decision that I wasn't going to
read every smidgeon of history that was being unpacked. I
read all the verses, but I kind to try to
give you an overall. There's a lot going on here.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
It was great. Let me hit you there.

Speaker 7 (10:43):
It was good.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
It was good.

Speaker 7 (10:47):
It wasn't convicting, but it was great.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
It was educational. But the future of the world can
see yours is.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
The Rick Burgess show. Sure he played a little ball,

(11:20):
Rick purchase.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
All right, So twenty two minutes past, we're here. Thanks
for being with us. So yesterday we did have did
have the Wednesday Bible Study. It is out there. The
archive is there now. I thank Greg for his ringing
endorsement of it. And so it is a lot of history.

(11:50):
But it is amazing that Daniel saw all that history.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
But anyway, and keep in mind when he's seeing it's
not history. It has not happened yet. So anyway, we.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Had something happened yesterday. You know we've been doing the
Wednesday Bible Study. Well here, but if you go back
to the studio prior when we were all doing the
Rick and Bubba Show together. I think the Wednesday Bible
Study is ten years old, if you can believe that.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Wow. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
So one of the things that we had that we
had to figure out pretty quick, and Speedy really helped
me with this is I was like, Hey, I'm gonna
have to order a bunch of folding chairs and I'll
just order them and have them shipped to your house,
right and then you rang them into your truck and
I said, so we're gonna need a lot of folding
chairs or we shipped to the studio, I can't remember.

(12:38):
And so there's there's a bunch of folding chairs that
stay in the storage room that filled this floor in
front of us on Wednesdays, because there's usually you know,
anywhere from twenty five to thirty five. I'm really sometimes
forty men that actually sit in here and have been
in the Bible Study, a lot of them the entire

(12:59):
ten years, which is interesting. So there's a standard routine
every Wednesday that we get the chairs out and Speedy
heads that up and he's kind enough to get that done.
Greg helps him on that too, and of course you
know the work Adler does getting it on live on
our YouTube channel. Then making sure the archive is out,
and it's pretty standard. We've done that most every I

(13:21):
mean for a lot of Wednesdays.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, yeah, I tried to right after the show. We
knocked that out and that way they're set up ready
to go because the guys will start showing up about
thirty minutes prior to Bible study start. Yeah. And yesterday
Greg and I were in the production room that's right
beside where Adler is now. We were working on the
weekend show. And what I mean by that is we

(13:43):
were timing down commercial breaks and stuff and getting it
ready for this weekend so all of you can enjoy
the weekend show on Saturday on all affiliates and stuff.
And all of a sudden, around eleven it's live at
twelfth Central, So about eleven twenty eight to be exact,
I heard this and I went, oh, is that he

(14:04):
just here it? And I heard it again. I went, huh, Greg,
somebody's at the door. He goes, what, and I said, yeah,
see who's at the door. And we're whispering now because
we have it for some stupid reason. I don't know
why whispering. So he goes over to the monitor that
shows the hall and he goes, He looks back at me.
He goes, I can't see anybody. And I said, really,

(14:25):
because sometimes you know, it's tough. And I was like, man,
what is it? He goes, Oh, Bible study. Oh no,
and we ain't set nothing up. Okay, at this empty
it's an empty studio. I was in there peddling with
that speed. He came in, Hey, man, I'll help you
with that, and I was like, no, I don't worry
about it. But the whole time, we never never. I mean,
it's a good microphone. Again, call me Prince Albert and

(14:46):
you can you want to lean over and just sit
with me. I guess, okay, how about I'm gonna tell
you again. I listened to the podcast archives. It sounds fine, okay, okay,
y'all sounds good. Yeah, but you don't have your processor yet.
But go ahead, and you wish you really, really lean in.
You wish you had the old mic till the processor
was here, but go ahead. Yeah, but hey, what can
you do? But anyway, so when we were both like

(15:08):
like we had all the time in the world and
nowhere to be yeah, yeah, I totally forgot it. And
even the knock you think the knock would have made
us go old right, But I was like, who's not?
I just did for some reason. We were mad people.
But did you did you not? Also, y'all have a conversations?
Rick got some meeting? I did, I did. I did
say this. I did ask. I said, will you check
with Rick and see if he's got a meeting? And

(15:31):
and and that's when he and that. He took two
steps like he was going to your office. He went
Bible study. Oh my goodness, I went, oh no. And
so then we are, of course, are panics. We're dragon
chairs and man, we're throwing stuff all over and we
and we do set it up, but we didn't open
the door. I opened the door, and the line is
from the door all the way to the outside door.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
My favorite's just sitting there waiting. My favorite line is
you walking as we were all running to the storage
room to grab I was grabbing chairs, gravers, grabbing chairs.
And you said, yeah, risk got a meeting with about
forty guys. Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you why.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
Wednesday. The normally opens at eleven thirty, and it was
like eleven twenty seven when we realized. So we got
it in there. But again, they were delayed, and if
you're timing makes some of them mad because some of
them get here because it is possible to set up
within three minutes, because we did it. Yeah, if you're

(16:22):
if you know, just probably not necessary. Wait no, no, no, yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
I got involved. You know, I've been spend a lot
of time. You're getting ready for the lesson. Of course,
Gregs made it clear that had enough time. Apparently, I
reck it was a good lesson and formative. Yeah you
know what, it was exactly what you said it was
going to be right, So yeah, it's a better tone.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Earlier it was like it's fun. Yeah, it was a
good history lesson. Yeah, thanks guys.

Speaker 6 (16:45):
And you know why they call it history because it's
his story. I was disappointed you didn't use that line.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
And that's good.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
No, No, I want to try to do things that
draw in to church, not make them want to leave.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
Rick, I actually always enjoyed history when I was in school,
did you, Greg, you know what they call it history? Well,
look you Rick, you said, man, this could be a too,
a two part series. If I just sat here in
red names and you were trying to avoid that, I was,
But yet give it out, But yet give it enough

(17:24):
to where it's still you know, you still learn something,
but you're not just sit here and just go in
this and then then he's here, and then this we
got hit and and I thought you landed in the
in the middle going in, but I knew that was
a big concern of yours.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
And like, you know, here's what I look forward to,
because speedy, you're actually kind. I look forward to you
here and then coming back in. Yeah, heard Greg had
a shot to encourage me. Of course he squandered it.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
To make Greg feel better about himself. He'll say I'm
faking it. That makes you think he's gonna come back
You're a mistake. No, I'm gonna be honest and have
a conversation with him. How about this?

Speaker 2 (18:04):
To your point, Greg, all all the fun and getting aside,
and I'll be okay.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
But is that as you said? As you said, I
was like, okay, this is this.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
This is going to be a history lesson and I'm
trying to find the best way to get as much
application in there as I can. And and you do,
and you came back and said, you know, I see
what you were talking about. Yeah, you know, it wouldn't
have hurt to say. Now, I tell you one thing
though that I did take away that wouldn't have hurt
so much.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Well, I did a lot of good information. You should
have asked him when he did, wasn't eating peanuts? He
might have given you more. That's a good point. That
is a great point.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
This is the Rick Burgers show, still denying any involvement
in the food fights of maineteen seventy nine. Rick budgets, all.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
Right, here we go. We're moving through another day. And
I said, I don't mean that was moving through another day.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
And we're glad that you were here. Made a little
adjustment here, I didn't need to. All right, So let
me hit this and then we'll move into other things.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Today.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
We've got I know some of you out there, there's
a debt problem.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
How about debt?

Speaker 2 (19:26):
That's a good and innute you know you've heard the
there's certain debts. Some people say, hey, let that debt
work for you. But there's a tremendous amount of debt
that's working against you. A high interest credit cards. I
got medical bills that I old can't pay. I'm dreading.
Every time my phone rings, I go it goes collections again.

(19:48):
So why don't you do something about it, and let's
let's be honest, just like on the on the health wagon.
You know, we all had to come off the holidays
and say, okay, sure, sure I got off the wagon.
Maybe I had a little more cake and goodies than
I normally do, and then you got to do something
a bad it get back on the wagon. Well, some
of us spend a little money over the holiday we

So, first of all, I want to give a shout
out on the text line, okay, on the text line, Uh,
there is someone that is watching this show right now
on YouTube, okay, on YouTube and and out of Poland.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Now I can I cannot pronounce where in Poland they are.
I don't know how to say that word.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
R z e S. I see our silent zessal Poland
watching from Poland. So there you go. So hello, what
I'm easy, Greg, easy adler. I wouldn't go after this
wide open or not right, So I wouldn't do that.
Yeah yeah, sure yeah, So so there you go, the right.

(21:56):
The Uh. The other thing that we were going to
talk about today is you know, I know that Greg
is is super super excited Hello to Poland. Uh that
Jeff Bezos says the Blue Origin Rock not the Blue
Organs on a debut mission. His first step.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
This is him trying to keep up with Elon Musk
and the space X bunch.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
This this Blue Origin Greg has has just I mean.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Oh my goodness. First of all, up to this point,
all they've been is a joy. Now, look, going up
to the right there at the edge of outer space
is a big deal. I get it. But they basically
took celebrities and would fly them up and draw back down. Right. Yeah,
you were had a unique look at the rocket, and
I think they're doing it on purpose. I think it's
a dog whistle and there's a meaning there. I'm not

(22:48):
sure what it is. Well, i'll take it. I'll take
a shot out. That's what I'm saying. There's something going
on in that design because I've seen rockets for years
and they didn't look like that. Rockets for years when
I was a kid. You know, you're in Apollo and
all watched a lot of movies about it. Let's so
what you're really sim Hanks was not in nothing to
look like that. That's all I'm gonna say. And Apollo thirteen.

(23:10):
It's a matter of fact.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
If I was asked to climb aboard something like that,
I just say, pass, Yeah, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
I'll get okay to the next one. And you know
what I would say, And they would say why, I say,
because my friends in Calhoun can They'll never let me
live this down because I know the first days.

Speaker 7 (23:26):
This does not have the typical Blue Origin look that
we've seen.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
Okay, I guess do you need audio on this at all?

Speaker 4 (23:34):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (23:34):
No, okay, okay.

Speaker 7 (23:36):
This is more standard rocket.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
That is a totally new design. That is that goes
all my jokes. No, I think he. I think he
may have listened to you. Wait a minute, all right, Yeah,
the tip is different. It is speedy, it's it's which
I'm about the rocket. Of course we are. But what
I'm saying is you are in order to get the

(24:00):
job done, they had to make some changes, right, or.

Speaker 7 (24:03):
They're just showing solidarity with Israel.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
Right? Oh my goodness, So I want to see straight out.

Speaker 6 (24:13):
Twenty four years after the company's founding, Jeff Bezos's rocket company,
Blue Origin has successfully reached orbit orbit for the first time,
first time ever.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Maybe okay, so that's the orbit rocket, that's the new
joy because it's got something's got to cut through it all. Yeah,
I think otherwise two yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
If you do that hand motion again, I'm gonna ask
you step in to step back into your office and
always come about the rocket.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
We are I don't know how to look good. I
don't know how to shape a rocket without doing it.
Please stop. Okay, so they did.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Okay, So you're saying, Greg, the the old blue Origin
to you, You're you're really just settling us on the
carnival rode.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Yeah, basically a really nice expensive one. Yeah, yeah, for real.
And if you're a celebrity, you get to go.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
But this feels a little more as it's as the
story says, we're trying to compete with space. Yeah, and
you know, get in the mix here, okay, And they said,
in order to do that, we're going to change a
look at this rocket, right, hey, guys, we want to
get up you know, in the atmosphere and get an
orbit and all that and sure maybe work on the
way this thing looks.

Speaker 6 (25:13):
That rocket felt like a carnival ride, like you. Guys
are saying. This rocket is three hundred and twenty feet tall,
so pretty good.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah, they're they're calling it the new, big, new the
it's a new Glen rocket whatever that is so so
thirty stories tall yeah, and says it will be. This
is clearly a little more you know.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
This is one of those things where you look over
at your competition Elon Musk and you're like, well he's
way ahead of us, yeah, and taking.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Stuff so you know, to kind of get through yeah
into orbit, you know, into orbit, they needed something a
little bit sharp, more streamline. Yeah yeah, yeah that's well
that that that'll do it.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
So so there you go, and so they think that
it did it all go okay, yeah, this had no
people on it, stuff like that, right, right, correct?

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Correct? A little skate that sounds better? You do? You
do you?

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Even though this has to be done, has to be done,
don't hear me say anything else.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
It has to be done. We all love safety, okay,
we do.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
But to me a fan of safety, when they're experimenting
like this and nobody's on them, you know, at least
throw me a chimpanzee or something on there, maybe a
German shepherd, uh you know.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
A German shepherd. Uh yeah. I mean when they would
teach the chimpanzees the flip switches and all this stuff,
it's pretty good. It's amazing, uh because it's kind of
like when we we all admit that, you know, the
high wire uh stunt and it it really took away
from it when they started putting safety harnesses on them.
You're like, well, I mean you're well India, Yeah, yeah,

(26:50):
And so I mean I don't want him to fall,
of course, not, of course not. But you know, in
the past, the pioneers who did this stuff, they didn't
have have no fall.

Speaker 7 (27:01):
Death defying means death defined, not.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Just not oh no, if I fall, I hang in
a harness. Yeah. Really, we're talking about embarrassment. Yeah, they
gotta come rescue me now.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
And the other thing is when these rockets and stuff,
when they go up with nobody in them, and not
even the Champanzee nothing. Even though I know that's necessary,
I think to myself, I mean if if it, it
makes a lot of money. I mean I want back
to back to the terrible, back to the high wire.
I don't want the guy to fall, but I like
thinking he could, yes, And so he gets you on

(27:33):
the edge of you see right. Oh yeah, that's the
whole thing. It's you go stops and then when he's successful,
you're like, oh my goodness, what a feat it was.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
Death defying.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
To Adler's point, well, when I see a rocket take
off and nobody's on it, I'm like, well, we might miss.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
Some equipment up. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
But but but but but I know that's necessary, So
I would be open to the back to the chimpanzee
thing again. Yeah yeah, well yeah, because you see the
champion training, and you see the champ in.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
The little overall and the little the little zip up.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yeah, and then then you fall in love with him,
so now you kind of care about him a little bit.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
You do as you should. But if it goes south,
it's not like a person went absolutely even though some
people are but not true big big, I know, it's close. Huge.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Remember this, this conversation I had with the guy who
tried to you know, who was an atheist, and he goes, well,
you realize the monkeys. I mean it's just I mean,
it's just a tiny difference between us and them. And
course I referred to us, said it's a big one though.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
There we're you know, we've been to space and back.
These monkeys can't get off this island right there there
yet to build a boat.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 6 (28:44):
Blug was trying to pull the wear no pants and
no pants thing. Blue Origin was trying to pull a
Space X and have the reusable booster land. Oh yeah,
and evidently their booster upon re entry, entry upon re entry,
that's hard to say.

Speaker 7 (29:00):
Yeah, burned up, so there was no landing.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Okay, so it was not successful.

Speaker 7 (29:05):
So as far as the reusable boost of landing, they
have not shown any video or anything like that. They're
not sharing their failures.

Speaker 6 (29:12):
Like we've seen SpaceX just be like hey, yeah, it
blew up and they were going to.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Try again kind of thing. And I googled Blue Origin
new rocket look, you know, just to see, and it's
the new Gin rocket. Okay, so it's that. That's why
there's a different look. Okay, let's start with it. I'm
working away. Then I got you. We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
This is the Rick Burgers Show, A voice of reason

(29:49):
in an unreasonable world, The Rick Burger Show.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
Yeah, let's go. What's that.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
We're back, right, couple of things to share with you,
everybody says, I say.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Ahead, all right.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
So one of the things we'll run down for you
is Hugh Freeze is coming up later in the program,
so be listening for that. We interview him. We may
talk a little football. Our main focus will be the
Man Church conference coming up one week from this Friday,
So that interview coming up a little bit later on
also coming up this weekend Saturday. You know a lot

(30:27):
of you and us included. I loved the thirty one
years of the Rick and Bubba Show. And Rick and
Bubba's Greatest Hits podcast will be out this weekend, so
should be Saturday. Anywhere you get podcasts, you just simply
search that and there it is. So enjoy that. And
we'll keep adding historic moments as time goes on. But

(30:51):
we've got a good lineup for you to start with
on Saturday. So that's available now. I also think I
don't somebody I should have looked in the break, but
I was told that today the last best of c
D of Rick and Bubba History run Me is the
Shut Her Down. That that CD should be on streaming

(31:12):
today if not by tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
So there's a couple of updates there for you.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Uh so uh In the in Wednesday's Bible Study, of course,
Greg said, uh we is the archive is out today
too from yesterday, so we get to twenty verses of
of Daniel eleven. Okay, so some some other things. I
was looking on the on the facts, I mean on

(31:38):
the text line, and some people are saying some things
that I need to remember. Rick be careful, monkeys and rockets,
two words, Planet.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
Of the Apes. Yes, okay, you know what.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
I was just remembering that we did that in Space Exploration, uh,
yesterday too. This is a you know when when you're
you know, you know, usually I find myself on the
right side of laughing at others and and I will
say this, it's it's it's it's a better place to be.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
Here's texts rick House the hip I watched.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
I watched twenty times, twenty twenty twenty times yesterday.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
You know, this is one of those things.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
And I guess now I know how y'all have all
felt over the years, and I've had.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
My moments too. It's just been a while.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
So you know, when you're the person and you think
to yourself, anything for the team, because I do see
that my folly and really what was somewhat of a
sad moment getting injured dancing right here live on the
show going down that that has brought much entertainment to many, uh,
and it's also getting us a lot of views on YouTube,

(32:53):
so I saw, so I have to think to myself,
I mean, there were people I saw on social media
yesterday that were going back and watching it over and
over again, and they would just put above it like
symbols of how how down the people friends of mine
have now found it. Yesterday the Man Church team, it's
all they could do, uh, is to watch it over

(33:16):
and over again, you know. And it's that thing where
you walk in and you you realize pretty quick that
your colleagues all have their laptops open and they're pointing
and laughing. You're like, yeah, they're watching me. They're watching
me again, They're watching my hip go out again?

Speaker 3 (33:31):
Uh? That? Yeah, the hip is a speedy read me
a story about Harbor? Is it?

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Jim Harball has to have hip replacement? He just casually
brought that story up.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
Okay, if I would like to say that that is
it true? Is it true that I've now reached the
point that if I desire to dance on the show,
I need to stretch and warm up. I'm afraid that's
a yes, I think so. Yeah. I'm afraid that's a yes. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
And the flexer went went south on me. I will
say that that. I am Okay, do I still feel it?

Speaker 3 (34:12):
The answers, yes, am I moving a little more cautiously. Yes,
am I remembering? And you remember this.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
This was what maybe a year ago, when the physical
therapist was convinced I needed immediate hip replacement because I
had so little range of motion, and he rushed me
over to the is it a hip doctor? What are
they called hippers? Hippers? I don't know who does hip replacement?

Speaker 3 (34:43):
Hipster?

Speaker 2 (34:44):
And that guy, remember that was the story I told.
I don't know if it made a best of sed
or not, because when they x rayed my hip, I
didn't realize everything that would be on the screen when
he flipped the light on and speaking of blue origin,
and he he flipped the light on it, and I
was like, well how about that?

Speaker 3 (35:02):
How about that? And then they just start talking, you know,
like it's not there on the screen.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
You know, yeah, And if you remember, probably I don't
know whether to This was one of the weirdest bedside
manner encouragements from a doctor I think I've had. And
he looks at it and he goes, well, I mean
your hips aren't great, And I thought, okay, but I
don't think we got to replace one of them. That

(35:27):
probably will if you live long enough. Woa okay, and
he goes, well, right, there's your problem. You got you
got a little tear there and you labor them and
that's where the problem is. And I said, yeah, I
guess it is. So I was worried that when my
dance move went south and what it was and you
said it speeded It was when I turned you know,

(35:48):
I was dancing, you know, kind of dancing down the
console and I went to do a quick hip turn
toward the console and that's when it went bad. Yeah,
and that's when the hip turned loose. Star was really
I think it was muscular. Yeah, I want to I
want to make that clear. Yeah, because you feel better now.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
I do feel better now? Do I fit still feel it? Yes?
When I'm walking up steps, I go, hey, now, oh
you know a little bit. You're right? Okay.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
But you know, again, as I've said a thousand times,
I don't know what it is with me. I never
am injured doing anything glorious. It's always something embarrassing, like
saving somebody out of them And I think that's why
it's always it's always I jumped on the moon Walk,
that wasn't the pressure was turned off, one of my favorites. Yeah,

(36:35):
I just get if I get injured, it's always something
that people go.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
What, Yeah, oh what did it? The toe touch? Remember
that you try to do that years ago? Yes, you
messed you growing all it.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Said while you're growing looks really bad. Oh my gosh,
we can even see that it's blue all down inside
your leg.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
What happened? Well, I attempted a Russian toe touch to
show my my buddies I could do it years ago.
You had no problem to do it right on a
moonwalk that they turned the pressure off to the air
I was dancing to for the Love of Money by
the ojs who were doing the wheel. I just don't
have any good and I think this is why it's
so popular, is you know boss Man number one? Oh yeah,

(37:15):
and so anytime, and we don't get to have much
on you, I know. So we're celebrating everybody on Rick,
everybody on. I'm glad, you're okay, but we're sed It's good. Now.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Does it hurt to walk into a meeting that you're
in charge of and everybody has their laptops up laughing
at you.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
Yeah, well, we don't get to do that. It takes
some air out of the room. Funny, but you know
what it is me you yeah?

Speaker 4 (37:36):
Whatever?

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Well, as y'all said, many times anything, you know, for
for this show to move forward, and if it got
us more views on YouTube, and it has, uh, then
you know what, Uh maybe maybe that hip move was
worth it. Yeah, but let me tell you, I think
it's a little much that your baby brother got a
screenshot of you going I know, and that's every time
you called that.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
Yeah, that would be fun that that that moment where
I really something bad's happened. I'm trying to minimize it
that you're trying to get in that chair as quick
as I can't.

Speaker 5 (38:08):
Hell.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
Yeah, has has found the moment though he rigged that face. Uh.
They're saying the last c D is still not on it.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Yeah, I'm there now, I don't Yeah, it's supposed to
be sometime today.

Speaker 3 (38:22):
Or tomorrow, you don't know. Hopefully it'll get there. It's uh,
it's top of the hour.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
This is the Rick Burchers Show, Big Bucks.

Speaker 8 (38:51):
That are.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
So Rick Burchers Show with Sweedie Griggs Quick ready, I
love and Rick.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
Yeah that's right, another hour. Thank you for being with
us today. The gang all here as we work our
way through another one. Hugh Freeze coming up later in
the program. Text option today might be an opportunity for
one of us to spend the wheel of bundles, bits
and bucks for you looking for straight cash, homie. So

(39:29):
that's also coming up as we break down the stories
of the day. So if you more people, and we'll
move on talking about me being injured dancing and it
is great, it's it's something to watch. Sad at times.
But somebody trying to encourage me what what we would
call today the other end of the spectrum from Greg

(39:52):
this this person says, Rick, you need to really think
about you're now in company with Bo Jackson. He he
he was so powerful that his body couldn't even take it.
And so what it is is my ability to throw
my hips with such power and dancing.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
And emotion in motion.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
My body is ages cannot handle the power that is
having to constraint.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
Okay, and so I'm gonna take that with me from
watching that video.

Speaker 6 (40:24):
Probably not okay, but so mind how you tore your
bicep too right, being too strong?

Speaker 3 (40:29):
Oh yeah, yeah you remember, Yeah, that's well going the
break over. Well, Well here's the here's the biceps. Somebody
threw that out, Rick. We're looking for some glorious injury.
We can't think of any what about when you tore
your bicep. Nope, not glorious.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
I tore my bicep trying to throw a rope over
a limb for a tire swing. Yeah it's still not
it's still not a winner. Yeah, okay, so yeah I
don't I don't have any Remember you go, Rick, what
about that time did you had to have surgery to
remove that blood clot out of your out of your shin? No,
dropped an old TV on it?

Speaker 3 (41:02):
Yeah? Yeah, remember that? Yep, hurts so bad. You remember
those old TV still had the big tube in the back.
Hurts so bad when you couldn't get a good grip
on them.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
When that hit my shin, I spoke in tongues. It
was awful, and it was not a good tongue. It
was not a holy spirit tongue.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
Uh. So a friend of mine said, trying to make
you feel better, I'm Shannon, Shannon, he says, tell Rick
not to feel too bad. I tore a quad tendon
from the kneecap filling a bird feeder. Oh wow, wow
that is bad. Yeah, that's real bad. He said. It's
old man problems. It is like that. Uh. Someone else saying,
I look like when it hit me to two people

(41:42):
on the text great stuff. One person said, if you
look the frozen face is confused American. Oh oh yeah.
Another one says it looked like that you were a
glitch in the matrix. Yeah, that also good.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
Uh the audience very very creative and thank you all
for you're always there for and uh it was. And
then of course there's there's multiple people who said I
thought you were a Baptists.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
This is God reminding you this is not allowed, no dancing.
So that's there. There's a lot of good ones. So
uh So anyway, the the uh get him a little
too provocative right now? People, Oh this is good. People
are saying, is there a way that you could get
that thing where Trump tease off that shot and then
they have him, you know, Biden following and he hits

(42:28):
me with the ball. There's a lot there we did.
Someone say Rick Rick showing us he's white with that
out actually saying he's white. That's true. All good. I
like you had a pretty good beating. Someone saying I
thought the you two feed was skipping. Gosh. That so good. No, No,
you're right.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
Some people, even Sherry tried to help a little bit
by saying, but remember we but I told her we
discussed this on the show.

Speaker 3 (42:54):
She said, but isn't this a step up from being
injured while sleeping? M hm, sort of. You were doing
some bomb's motion.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:02):
Another friend of mine, Jonathan kirk Uh, ruptured Achilles playing
frisbee with my dog. I didn't find another's fine.

Speaker 7 (43:14):
Another angle of it did.

Speaker 3 (43:19):

Chuck Norris is got it, got the scope and he's
zeroing in on the target. As soon as he shoots,
shows me go down. Job well done. Oh somebody didn't know.
They didn't even have their name on the I'll take
all that you can get. Thank you. This is this

(43:59):
is in our culture. I know for some of you
you'll be a gashed, but I think it's hilarious. Reach
in the back seat to smack one of my kids.
Three years later, My shoulders still.

Speaker 4 (44:08):
They still.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
Yeah. Yeah, over extended right bull of hamstring, getting off
the couch, going to the fine. Okay, so that's so good,
y'all run off, Chuck Norris. Yeah, I finally saw one
that I hadn't heard yet. You know, the Chuck Norris
things they said. Chuck Norris ordered a hamburger at Chick
fil A on Sunday and got it. I got injured

(44:38):
brushing my teeth. Someone says, should remove the old man
strong shirt from the store. O, no, no, see, I
bounced right back, y'all see you. They didn't bother me.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
Dance I went. I did a workout the very next day. No,
that day, didn't that day? Okay, take that? And uh yeah,
so everybody all through out our existence, all of us
hanging out together, even back to the Rick and Bubba show,
you know when Bubba fail that time, we all have
to take one for the thing.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
And and when these things happen, uh you the audience
being entertained and laughing and enjoying it, it far exceeds
any personal embarrassment we all have to share. Yeah, and
everybody gets their turn, even ough number one.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
I fell down channeling them backports steps during the holidays.
That nobody saw it though I have no foot, Did
you share it? I went down really hard. I had
to lay there for a while and then just you know,
figure out if I was heard or not right, start
feeling your body and nobody even came to check on me.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
But you didn't know. Greg, Now you're being cherey. Remember
I didn't know she failed. Back in the backyard, well,
I knocked over a table on the way down and
that made its huge.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
And always real thought was somebody'll be somebody will come. Yeah,
so what are you?

Speaker 2 (45:51):
And sure you're gonna have some sort of help group
or y'all talk about how your family doesn't care about
you when you fall. Well, let me tell you what
you don't say, and I will say it to you.
And I said to Sherry, and I wish I could
have taken back stand.

Speaker 3 (46:01):
To Cherry, I said to myself, gosh, I need to
check the security camera, see if we got that. And
she said what I said, Baby, if this is on camera,
she goes, I can't believe you would even want that.
So Greg, I do say with you, with zero hesitation,
I wish we had you on security camera. Yes, yeah,
with zero hesitation. Shouldn't said it to Sherry. I wish

(46:22):
I could take that back. Somebody said they slipped a
disk using the bathroom, slipped a disc on the can
and broke some ribs, coughing Wow, I've heard it.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
Yes, some people saying, Rick here, I think you're really
close to being a Pentecostal, followed by I saw this
one yesterday, but I didn't do it.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
Someone says, I don't know what everybody's laughing at. I'm Pentecostal.
I see this every Sunday.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
We'll be back if you haven't seen it, It's on
yesterday's archive on the YouTube channel.

Speaker 3 (47:01):
We'll be right back. We got more to cover Hugh
Freeze coming up in the last live hour today as
the Rick Burgess.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
Show continues right after this.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, the man who taught
the world to say, wouldn't care less?

Speaker 3 (47:34):
Wick, purchase a lot to do today and enjoy visiting
with you America every single day? What have the last?
Speedy Greg Adler all here?

Speaker 2 (47:50):
So let's talk a little bit about the Association for
Mature American Citizens. What great timing for us talk about
this right now? Did y'all go ahead and sign up
like we did? Are y'all part of that?

Speaker 3 (48:05):
Now?

Speaker 2 (48:06):
Well, look, we all remember when AARP started sending this stuff.
As you know, that's one of those things. Okay, Well,
so I'm getting old. Now here's when you know you
know you're old is when your mailbox begins to feature
things that it never has before. Do they really have
a box here? They want me to send in a sample?
Oh my goodness, here's a AARP. And you start getting
all this. But then you look, you go, Okay, some

(48:27):
cool stuff, and then you look into the political side
of AARP and you're like, I can't be part of that.
That's not the lobby I want for me. Well, that's
why the Association of Mature American Citizens has been so
popular with over two million people.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
Now, what do we do now?

Speaker 2 (48:43):
And look, I want us to do this, Okay, had
a conversation about this yesterday. We're going to hold the
Trump administration accountable.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
A lot of promises have been made about making America

a couple of things happening in the sports world we
want to cover today.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
Over here, I see that this Caitlyn Clark stalker has
appeared in court. It's really weird that what Caitlyn Clark
has had to go through is just bizarre to me.
I mean, I couldn't care less about women's basketball, but
as far as watching her plight and the saga of
Caitlyn Clark is bizarre. So not only did she have

(50:24):
to go through all this ridiculous racial garbage, now she's
got some stalker, uh that that is after her and
so the stalker has appeared in court, and and here
are do we have the audio him of the stalker
actually saying this?

Speaker 7 (50:40):
You can hear him?

Speaker 3 (50:41):
Yes, so it's great. First yeah, the first first words
to uh to the judge. Here here we go. He's
walking in. Guys, Oh, my goodness, mister lewis now guilty.

(51:03):
Guilty by the way, mister lewis guilty.

Speaker 9 (51:12):
No, sir, this is initial hearing.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
No, we are not.

Speaker 4 (51:21):
You have a right to remain silent, and I.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
Expect you to exercise that.

Speaker 10 (51:25):
Okay, this is just telling you what the charges are.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
You do not listen.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
It's I'll give you a chance to talk.

Speaker 7 (51:32):
Stop throw me the bookie.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
Guilty as let's just skip everything.

Speaker 6 (51:41):
Then, my goodness, do not let this man out of jail.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
Please, in the world.

Speaker 7 (51:50):
Guilty charge, that's not what we're here for.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
I think this case is going to go pretty smoothly.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
Got it to what what is this guy's Well, obviously
he's not right and he.

Speaker 3 (52:03):
Was kind of stalkinger and stuff.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Yeah, what see, this goes back to what I was
telling everybody. Uh, you know when we first roared out
with with this, with the new beginning here and the
new show is some of you. I know, you know
you have opinions and all that, and you're certainly welcome
to them, no problem with that at all. I would
just say, you know, with the freedom of expression, as
we have said many times, comes with the responsibility and understand.

(52:27):
You know, if you can, you can. There's a lot
of people out there watching what you say, and you know,
reading things into what you're saying that are.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
Not mentally stable, and then they become dangerous.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
So you have to be careful because more more examples
is man, I'm telling you we've got a level of
mental illness going on right now that is unbelievable. So
then we get into the the Auburn basketball coconut broad guy.

Speaker 3 (52:57):
Have you heard about this? We got we got a
lot of texts yesterday on our text line about please
tell me y'all seen this. Bran Adler has it.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
Okay, all right, So here here is someone being interviewed
and they have a coconut brawn by Okay, here we go.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
I'm just trying to explain to y'all what it means
when the number one team comes to your arena, you're.

Speaker 8 (53:16):
At home, What.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
Does the lead for you guys to be number one.
It means everything for or to be number one.

Speaker 11 (53:22):
You know, we're out there for days cavin on the
cold Heart concrete just to watch America's that's college basketball
team come in here and run the fort for wherever
they're playing. Let me tell you every basketball is number
one for a reason, because they.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
Got the heart. They got no well, they got no
one to go out there, everyone that they play against.
All right, now, let me ask you this hold on people.

Speaker 12 (53:47):
So when I tell the jungle to go crazy, they
should go crazy.

Speaker 3 (53:50):
Correct. Oh, we don't just go crazy, we go certified insane.
You're in the dress onness, I'll tell you, brother. So
so the guy of you and him is just ignoring
the fact that he's got coconut bron Oh wow, let me.

Speaker 6 (54:07):
Tell you something, brother, he went from normal to professional restaurant.

Speaker 7 (54:11):
I want normal as you can be with a coconut bra.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
Yeah, all of us, because we can't help it, especially
the three of us. Adler still has really tiny kids.
But all three of us look at this and go
imagine his parents. I know they're proud of Look up
and there's my boy with the nineteen seventies stash coconut
bra some sort of fishing hat, paying a lot of money,

(54:37):
basketball game.

Speaker 3 (54:39):
I don't feel like it's academics. There is priority. He's
stole in re Fonda's hat from Old Golden.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
Pond and so anyway, but I hate to bring this up, Adler,
but it parlays right into it. This is about to
be a little bit of a rough moment here. Do
you remember what happened my wife's fortieth birthday party involving
your dad?

Speaker 1 (55:05):
What happened?

Speaker 3 (55:06):
What happened?

Speaker 2 (55:07):
So some great friends wanted to do something special for
Sherry's fortieth birthday, and they did a lou aw set
up in the back of their yard.

Speaker 3 (55:18):
Do you remember this?

Speaker 4 (55:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (55:19):
I forgot. Do you remember this?

Speaker 7 (55:21):
I forgot about that.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
And apparently at some point your parents got the idea
that we would all be dressing up Polynesian for this,
when really it was just a setup of how the
food would be and everyone else just wore their normal clothes.
Do you remember this?

Speaker 7 (55:39):
I do now.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
Yeah. Do you wish I had not brought it up?

Speaker 8 (55:41):
No?

Speaker 7 (55:42):
I guess I memory hold this. I wanted it gone
from my memory.

Speaker 3 (55:46):
Why would I see that though and not think of it?

Speaker 6 (55:48):
Because my dad wore a coconut broad to the party.

Speaker 3 (55:53):
Nobody else was dressed up. Somebody helps me.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
He comes walking up giant ten outside lou Al said
a grass skirt, grass skirt and coconut brawn, and he
thinks we're all going to be dressed up, and no
one is not. Only it'd be one thing if we
had on a Don Hoe shirt, Yeah, that would have
been fine, but the coming no. And then what was
bad is he was stuck now because there's no going

(56:20):
back home. And the rest of the night, you look,
everybody's having conversations about sports and stuff, and there's Adler's
dead over where the coconut brown just talking about him.

Speaker 3 (56:29):
You know. So he embraced it.

Speaker 10 (56:33):
You do that.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
I will say he's very comfortable with himself and pulled
off the grass skirt.

Speaker 3 (56:38):
I mean, I don't mind telling you.

Speaker 7 (56:39):
That he keeps himself in good shape, you know.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
By the way it tells you the coconut does not
fall far from the tree.

Speaker 6 (56:48):
Shirt d in the privacy of my basement though, yeah.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
But nowhere about it. Yeah, but no one should work
out in your underwear by just a parish shorts.

Speaker 13 (56:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (56:58):
Has he has he shown you He's showed me video
if I'm doing dead lift in his underwear?

Speaker 6 (57:03):
Yeah, yeah, I'm doing to be encumbered by garments, free
range of motion.

might have been a texture. I can't remember.

good Man?

Speaker 4 (01:04:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (01:04:28):
Well, uh, like I said, what like I was telling
the Greg, I'm I'm here in Oliver right now, and
it's a and it's a it's a ball me thirty
two degrees right now. That's a housie doing doing landscape
work here here for the university. But yeah, yeah, joy.
But one thing I want to call about I've been
I've been a lifelong listener to the previous show for

(01:04:51):
about twenty twenty five years. You yes, sir, Yeah, And
so I'm I'm I'm thirty, so I was. I'm I'm
about as old as as previous show. But but the main
thing I want to call about was with y'all's new
contests with the buying Speedy launch in the twenty five
so the years I listened to the previous show, one

(01:05:13):
thing I've noticed is that at any time when y'all
sen speed out to do and any of these little
contests and he and he uses these cool like misspeaks,
I think he's doing on purpose just to just just
just to mix them, just to make some content show.

Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
So well, get me too much credity, Yeah, I think
you're giving there's there's so many things that happen here
that some people say, I'll tell you what, you guys
are comedic geniuses. And I think to myself, I think
to myself, yeah, you're right. Indeed that I'm like, I
think they're giving it.

Speaker 3 (01:05:42):
If they only knew, if they only knew, everything we
do just kind of falls together now speak. He's one
of those kind of people. Not everybody's this way.

Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
You put him in in unpredictable situations, and I'm telling you,
things just happen. You just kind of send him out there,
wind him up, and let him go. Let's go to uh,
Nate out of Sweet Home, Alabama.

Speaker 16 (01:06:05):
Nate, go ahead, Hey, guys, i'd heard heard of her.

Speaker 15 (01:06:09):
Some witnesses were saying they'd seen who started the LA wildfires,
at least one of them.

Speaker 8 (01:06:13):
Uh.

Speaker 15 (01:06:13):
They're saying he walked right out of the county, the
LA County jail. He had on a cowboy hat here
to look a little bit like Jesus, and had a
cartoonishly large pistol.

Speaker 3 (01:06:25):
I ain't never been nowhere, Carson, Welcome to the rick
Burgers Show. Go ahead, morning fellas.

Speaker 17 (01:06:33):
Hey, Carson, all hey, let's go ahead and jump on
the political wagon this morning jump there where flap Joe
was decided to claim the hostage relief.

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
When we come back, we're actually going to play those clips.
You're setting that up beautifully.

Speaker 15 (01:06:48):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
Look in his world, though, Carson, in his world, he
believes it. In his little world, he really did get
the hostages freed.

Speaker 17 (01:06:57):
And in his world of cupcakes, Oscar him he did
get the hosts.

Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
That is correct. We will actually come back. Nice set up,
by the way, We'll come back and we'll look at
those and listen to those clips. But Carson, it's telling
the truth. So Biden wants us to know he's very
proud that he negotiated a ceasefire and the release of
the hostages from Hamas. Yeah, yeah, and we all believe that.

(01:07:24):
I know. Fifteen minutes to the top of the hour,
we'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. Warning. In order to
truly benefit from this show, you must have a sense
of humor. So like enough Francis and enjoy the Rick

(01:07:53):
Burger's Show.

Speaker 3 (01:07:56):
Here we go, We are back. Thank you for being with.

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
Us, as we will give you more opportunities to chime
in via phones coming up later in the program.

Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
Seeing lots of you chiming on the text. Thank you
for that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:10):
As we continue to work through another show, updating you
on all things that are happening within the lives of
the men doing the show, hearing what's going on with
you and around the world. All right, So Hugh Freeze
coming up later in the program today, So that'll be
in the last live hour today. However, you get the show,
all right, So let's talk a little bit as the caller.

(01:08:34):
By the way, Greg, someone giving you credit that you
don't deserve on the text, saying that Greg showed tremendous
growth on one of the callers because the caller seemed
to maybe have a little bit of a lock up
issue and they're trying to give you growth. Don't give
Greg any credit on that. He was screening calls.

Speaker 3 (01:08:54):
If he'd been sitting over there holding court eating his
peanuts from don day, that guy would have been a
guy would have been spirit. Yes, I was trying to comment,
but I couldn't figure out how to get the microphone
in that room to work.

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
See what I mean, So don't don't give him any
credit for that. I'm just being honest, all right. So
the hostage swap and the ceasefire. Biden is about to
take credit for that. We do have an update, Net
and Yahoo uh is saying not so fast, Net and
Yahoo is saying that it's starting to look like that

(01:09:24):
Hamas is not as committed to this as we're about
to hear Biden tell us they are, right.

Speaker 3 (01:09:30):
Yeah, yeah, He says they're trying to back out of
part of the agreement in an attempt to kind of
have some you know, extort some last minute concessions and stuff.
And so the cabinet there in Israel is like whoa,
hold on? Easy, hold on? Whoa? And so we'll see
how that plays out. But and then the way they're
trying to you know, yeah, we'll give you back some hostages,

(01:09:50):
but unfortunately some of them are deceased, and you know,
it's just they're trying to change the trying to change everything.
Last second, So here we go. You're going to see
Biden say that this is a done deal and that
he he's taking credit for it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:05):
So so here here we go, and the Secretary of State,
let's listen.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
Good afternoon.

Speaker 13 (01:10:10):
It's a very good afternoon because long last I can
announce a ceasefire, a hostage. Dell has been reached between
Israel and a.

Speaker 3 (01:10:21):
Moss So I'm gonna get that guy a laws.

Speaker 2 (01:10:26):
The word hostage. He just didn't quite have the invist
just so bottom teeth. Here comes a reporter.

Speaker 3 (01:10:37):
A reporter is about to ask Biden, you think you
should take credit for this? Or do you think Trump
should take credit for this? So here here we go.
Thank you, lot's credit for this?

Speaker 7 (01:10:47):
Mister President? You or trot?

Speaker 3 (01:10:51):
Is that a joke? Oh? Thank you?

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
Well, let me tell you something, mister desional. If you
don't think that America voting for Trump, it goes back
to and you know, I told you before, I can't
believe this thing that's happened to Dennis Prager where he's
like paralyzed from another fall. But anyway, I told you
guys off the air that Dennis Preger was asked on

(01:11:21):
his show did he think that all of this going
on with Israel and all this going on with Ukraine
and Russia, would any of this happen if Trump had
gotten a second term in a row. And Prager didn't
even he didn't go any long dialogue or whatever. He
just said, I'll answer that with one word no, and

(01:11:42):
that was the end of it. If you don't think
that Trump winning this election is not affecting all of
those around the world that were enjoying us being jumps,
then you're just delusional. So but Biden wants us to
think he's part of it. But but and we got
another clip. Understand, there's an update net and Yahoo is

(01:12:06):
saying they're starting to do the Yeah, we'll agree to
all that. Everybody good. And then at the end, well,
we may not do it. We want something else, which
has been the ongoing frustration that the Israelis have been
dealing with for a long time. Here's you some land,
we want more land. Here's you this, Nope, we want more.

(01:12:26):
Here's probably the real reason why the deal happened. Here's
a clip of Trump last week saying to bring the
hostages home.

Speaker 3 (01:12:34):
Here we go.

Speaker 18 (01:12:34):
If those hostages aren't back, I don't want to hurt
your negotiation. If they're not back by the time I
get into office, all hell will break out in the
Middle East, and it will not be good for Hamas,
and it will not be good, frankly for anyone.

Speaker 3 (01:12:50):
All hell will break out.

Speaker 18 (01:12:51):
I don't have to say anymore, but that's what it is.

Speaker 3 (01:12:53):
That's what it is. That's probably more why this is happening. Yeah,
as we said a thousand times, the enemies of freedom
only understand one thing strength. That's it. They don't they
don't understand anything, so only language they speak. It's the
only thing that does any good. And anything less than

(01:13:15):
that they always see is weakness. It's not something that
wins them over. Always been the case. So we'll we'll
find out what happens. But it is going to be
interesting to see if Hamas tries to continue to ask
for more and it does shut the deal down. But
you know, I think we all hope the hostages are released,

(01:13:37):
and we all hope they can get a ceasefire there.
But as you heard Trump and you're hearing that in
Yahoo many times, Hamas and the enemies of Israel and
the United States the balls in their court. You mean,
tell me a terrorist organization won't hold up to their
end of the bargain. I don't know how to break
I can't trust them.

Speaker 19 (01:13:56):
Really.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
Look, I don't want to be a Debbie downer, but
sometimes tear thought. Yeah, sometimes terrorists life. Y'all may not
believe that, but it keep their word.

Speaker 3 (01:14:07):
They don't keep their word.

Speaker 2 (01:14:08):
Sometimes they'll claim they're gonna do something, not do it, no,
and you know what, you know what they'll also say.
They also say that they'll move into your community, and
they're really there's no concern.

Speaker 3 (01:14:19):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
They want everybody to live their own life. And they'll never, ever,
under any circumstance try to put everybody under sharia law.
They just won't do it.

Speaker 3 (01:14:27):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
And the other thing is when you start pointing out
how wicked and evil they can be, they'll quickly use
all the things that they know have worked with Americans especially,
they start claiming that you're a xenophobe.

Speaker 3 (01:14:40):
Oh, they'll start claiming that you you don't like them
because of their their ethnicity and their religious beliefs, not
because they're trying to kill everybody. Oh yeah, and and
and well we'll wait a minute, wait a minute. Oh
whoa hey, hang, you mean to tell me the terrorist?

Speaker 14 (01:15:04):
They don't holder that word.

Speaker 15 (01:15:09):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:15:09):
So that feel move right there? Fine? That was fine?
What it was dangerous? It all goes together well, tired, quiet,
but it was not a quite havn't work a little.
It's like burning sensation.

Speaker 2 (01:15:23):
Yeah, somebody sent me another one on the confused American,
and we did this story, but we didn't do the
quote on the on the Walgreens thing where they're shutting
everything down, and their quote was we found that products
don't move as well if they're locked up and.

Speaker 3 (01:15:38):
People have a hard time. You can't even go get
it off the shelf goes behind the cage. And they
were like worst confused American, Like a minute, Oh.

Speaker 6 (01:15:47):
No, you mean to tell me if you locked up
your brunched by a line of logs, people don't buy.

Speaker 3 (01:15:56):
Uh. So we went a little lower than it, really
did it showing y'all got a little more right now,
flexibility a little more. So I'm hurting right now.

Speaker 2 (01:16:04):
I'm perfectly fine, perfectly fine.

Speaker 7 (01:16:08):
Biden did give his final Oval Office address last night. Uh,
and that's.

Speaker 3 (01:16:16):
Got quite a few clips.

Speaker 6 (01:16:17):
If you guys after the break want to come back
and check it out, or if we want to move on,
it's whatever. But like I said, it was his final
farewell address to the nation.

Speaker 3 (01:16:26):
Really, yes, from the did you call an address? He
brought us all together, didn't well, he was unifying, he
always very unified, Yes he is. He warned us against.

Speaker 6 (01:16:39):
All kinds of things, talking about how great of a
job he did, and uh he talked about how he's
going to continue being the keeper of the flame.

Speaker 3 (01:16:49):
What very inspiration. That's okay, Thank you years public, sir,
thank you Papa. Time of the hour.

Speaker 1 (01:17:02):

Come on, let's let's let's get him reality here. We
can be logical. It's not a crime. So here we go.
Speede Greg Adler, all here as we work through another
one who Freeze coming up later in the program.

Speaker 3 (01:18:05):
Guys.

Speaker 2 (01:18:06):
All right, So, Greg, you hosted Christmas Eve for the
whole family, the Burgess family and all those that now
are part of that family. And so we all converged
on you and Lisa's beautiful home. She had the home

(01:18:27):
decorated absolutely stunning.

Speaker 3 (01:18:30):
We loved it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:31):
But you have just given us a report that something
something has changed.

Speaker 3 (01:18:37):
Let me give you a little background. Okay, all right,
I remember one Christmas Lisa tried to get me to
take Christmas down on Christmas Day, on Christmas late that afternoon,
when we go ahead and get started many times the
next day, many times I've done that. I think that's
when I fell through the ceiling. Yeah sure, but for
some reason this year it's January sixteenth? Am I correct?

(01:18:59):
That is correct? Do you remember how the house is
decorated when y'all came? Absolutely thought I had gone to
the north pole. Okay, it's still that way, and everything
is turned on just like it's Christmas. She's gone from
what Christmas up person early to now, and I keep
bringing it up. Hey go because I'm dreading it. You know,

(01:19:20):
God here, you want to get it over with? Huh No,
I just I think I want to keep it up
a little longer. I said, why. I just I'm just
enjoying it. And I guess it's because we pretty much
decorated all the way up to Christmas Day. I guess
I don't know. Yeah, it's got to enjoyed a little bit.
But at what point do I go? Look, I mean this.
What is too much? Now you have? When do you go?

(01:19:42):
You look back and go, hey, buddy, seriously, there's something
wrong with You've seen these uh up here? I think
they're there. Yeah, you're telling me that the way I
saw your house yes on Christmas Eve. Your house still
looks like that. Yes, and every night everything's lit up.
We'll go ahead and turn it all on the big tree.
You can't do this big trees. I mean, it's hanging

(01:20:04):
in there just as now I'm dreading that thing.

Speaker 2 (01:20:06):
It seems like this is almost like a violation of
some sort of Christmas rule.

Speaker 3 (01:20:09):
But again, it'd be different if she had always been
But I don't know something about this year, she's not.
Every time I bring it up, No, I kind of
want to look at it a little longer, and I'm
kind of glad because I don't want to put it up. Yeah,
but now it's bother you that it's not done well.
It's weird.

Speaker 2 (01:20:20):
It's hanging over you like a cloud. And here are
you going to start wishing us all the happy New Year?
How long is that going?

Speaker 8 (01:20:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:20:25):
I know, isn't that crazy? I wished him? By the way,
the guy missed the joke earlier that said he caught
me wishing dun Day Happy New Year. I was doing
it because of the first peanuts of the year. That's right, right.
I saw that on the thing. He was like, oh good, no,
that did that? Did happen? It was an attempt at
a joke.

Speaker 2 (01:20:43):
So let me ask the guys here, all of us married. Okay,
let's let's ask the hard question and again this you
just do you just let it ride? Or at some
point do you say, I'm so sorry, wonderful wife, thank
you for making our homes so beautiful, even though Greg
you had helped obviously.

Speaker 3 (01:21:01):
Uh is it almost like, uh, I think we got it,
we got it. We gotta shut this down. Maybe I
have to start with the garland that's going up the
stairs and all that. Maybe I don't think I just
take it off and not really say nothing. Do we
let it ride? I gotta tell you we got to
read got out here. I'm kind of different here. You're
empty nesters, even though you have grandkids and kids come

(01:21:22):
and go. I say, you do whatever you want, and
you don't die on this hill. You just leave it
up till she says, Okay, I'm ready. You know that's
kind of the way I'm going. I mean, because you're
the two, You're you're the only two in there. What
does it matter if it makes her happy? Then whatever?
Do I really want to take it down?

Speaker 1 (01:21:37):
That?

Speaker 3 (01:21:38):
No? I mean, then you can look at it. You
have to get it over with. I get that, right.
That's about now we get to tell you Merry Christmas
until you take it down. Okay, you can't get mad.
That's a great point. By the way, Can I say
something here?

Speaker 4 (01:21:49):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:21:49):
I can't get mad now because evidently I'm still celebrating Christmas. Yeah, yeah,
And I think you just embrace it and you say, honey,
that's fine, and then whatever, and.

Speaker 2 (01:21:56):
It doesn't matter. I'm wish seedy. Who cares what anybody
else thinks but two of you. Yeah, but I want
to think. I want to know what you would think. Yeah,
if I make fun of it?

Speaker 3 (01:22:05):
Yeah? Oh yeah. Now the Amazon delivery man if that
was one of freak out, yeah, yeah, of course he's
still coming. I thought that my back off. But I
have met people though that they keep it up year round.
I mean, they take just a few things down, some
of the little things they keep up. And then you
got the folks that keep trees up and then they
change your things. If you change it, no that tree

(01:22:26):
of mine, that ain't gonna happen. No, you can't do that.
Then you don't have to put it up next. But
to me, when when it's right, you would live it
up a month could be a Valentine's tree and Eastern tree.
If I got a decorated again, what say you?

Speaker 17 (01:22:42):
It's still looking a lot like Christmas?

Speaker 3 (01:22:51):
It does. It's got our little road touretts well, a
lot of pets, yes, yeah, But I find myself also
enjoying the lights when they're on. That's my next question.
Are you still getting anything out of this?

Speaker 4 (01:23:05):
Somebody?

Speaker 3 (01:23:06):
You can? You sit down and look at it the
way you do during Christmas? Not that deep? How does
it feel?

Speaker 6 (01:23:11):
What?

Speaker 3 (01:23:12):
That looks good? Are you act?

Speaker 8 (01:23:13):
Then?

Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
I look at the calendar and go, greg what But
is it a Christmas feeling or just a genuine I
kind of dig these lights?

Speaker 3 (01:23:19):
That's it. It's not a c It doesn't feel like Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
See to me, when they stay up too long, like you,
Let's say you have something in that represents Santa, It's
like every time I see them now it's kind of awkward.

Speaker 3 (01:23:32):
Yeah, it's it's time for him to go. It's like
Frosty the Snowman.

Speaker 2 (01:23:35):
They kind of look at you like it really Yeah,
I mean, what are we doing still up now?

Speaker 3 (01:23:39):
Two of them, the trees, the ones that's got that
stupid snow on it that gets in my sinuses when
I have to put them up. Flocks, Let's get them
the flock out of there, right, But those only have
a bow on top. They're not really decorated. They're the
dining room, so you could almost almost ignore them if

(01:24:02):
you want it to, and go, well, look it's just
a tree. Yeah, it's just an accent tree. It's a
mood setter. You got the lights on and you don't
need any other lights in the room.

Speaker 4 (01:24:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:24:13):
Look, I'm not like mad about it. I'm just I mean,
I want to get off my plate. That's what I'd
like to address. Texture is all over this.

Speaker 2 (01:24:23):
The longer you leave them up, the more impending doom
begins to get energy.

Speaker 3 (01:24:28):
That's why I think I'm gonna I'm gonna take them
down in sections. I'm gonna go, let's go darling off
the off the banister.

Speaker 2 (01:24:33):
I can barely seriously, I can barely enjoy even though
I'm as close to turnkey as you can get to
try to enjoy Christmas. But but there's still there's no
way around taking everything down and.

Speaker 3 (01:24:44):
Putting it back up. And that almost ruins Christmas for me. Yeah, yeah,
but because I just I just cannot stand that process.
I mean, you're gonna have a day two days that's
just you know, and there's you know, when you're putting
it up, there's a little bit of fun and happy
and you don't even care how inconvenient it is, how

(01:25:06):
many things you put up because you think we'll be
taking them down so far away.

Speaker 2 (01:25:09):
I'm just going to enjoy it, and you should. But Greg,
you let this go on, it's going to become something
to get where. Well, we had a similar situation. The
guts of the house had to be put up because
we do real trees. So once the trees are coming down,
that means everything's coming but the outside lights. Because of
my turnkey deal and the ice thing we had and

(01:25:29):
all that, it delayed. And at one point, sure he says, well,
people they're white, you know, lights on the outside house.
I don't do colored on the outside. Well, you know,
people keep these white lights up all the time. I said,
surely you're not suggesting. Are you suggesting that our house.

Speaker 3 (01:25:44):
Is going to stay like? This is why we are now?
And she said, well, some people do it. I said,
they don't do this. They in their backyard, a few
streams running over the you know, the patio or something.
Now in rural America, some you'll find something that leave it.
The Christmas up year round. But yeah, I think somebody
would call and complain if you did. Look, if it's outside,

(01:26:04):
that's off limit. I mean, you cannot do leave outside.
We can see Greg, now, you can see through the
window from the fall. Yeah. But if it's inside, Yeah,
you're telling me you're driving to work.

Speaker 2 (01:26:15):
You come here, see us. It's January the sixteenth, and
last night you saw a neighbor had their Christmas tree up,
still lit in their house. What do you say when
you get here?

Speaker 3 (01:26:26):
I would bring up why are this my goodness is
January sixteenth? Yes you would, I'm just being honest, Yes
you would? You Christmas? Greg? Yeah, I was gonna say,
if you won't get disgusted by our merry Christmases and
the callers, then just live with it. But I don't
think them down. I guess you're right. I think you
just let it roll until she's ready.

Speaker 2 (01:26:43):
And yeah, I'm many chance to do a reverse gas lighting,
a little item, one by one you put up and
the four sheers.

Speaker 3 (01:26:49):
What happened to her? That's not that big tree you know,
would have ease it up. I got, I got one.
I'm gonna start on.

Speaker 6 (01:26:55):
Well, she just sit on the couch with a Santa
hat on and see how that goes.

Speaker 7 (01:26:58):
As long as they're up.

Speaker 3 (01:26:59):
You might just left. And I was drinking eggnog. Has
she give me a reason why she still wants to?
She just said at first when we got back from
you know, we went to the beach for the last
week of the I think that's where you're in the situation,
and she goes. So that was four or five days
we didn't get to Jingo.

Speaker 6 (01:27:14):
The snow that extended it a little bit that we
all got to pass.

Speaker 3 (01:27:19):
It did look good with the snow out the window,
with the trees that did. Yeah, you'll tie it to
you gray. But anyway, I just thought it was weird.
But it would be different if she was always been
this way. But for some reason this year she's just
like I leave it up. It's still looking at like Chrisms.

Speaker 1 (01:27:37):
Probably this is the Rick Burgess Show. God very at

(01:28:00):
America loving the Rick Burchase Show.

Speaker 3 (01:28:06):
All right, so we're back. Thanks for being with us today.

Speaker 2 (01:28:12):
A brand new Rick Burgess show is rolling right along,
and we're glad you're here and stay with us. Uh,
we'll get more phone calls in before the hour's done.
We had a light to cover today. Hugh Freeze coming
up later in the program.

Speaker 3 (01:28:26):
All right, so, uh, Greg you said.

Speaker 2 (01:28:28):
That Lee Lee uh, your wife Lisa, Yeah, has a
statement to the world.

Speaker 3 (01:28:34):
Yeah. I was questioned him because it's this is not
normal for her to still have Christmas debrades. This is
her quote. My Christmas decorations and trees bring me joy
and make my heart happy. That's why I do not
want to take them down. Who doesn't want joy? That's
I guess. It's all based on joy. Do you think
that the lights kind of and the and the tree

(01:28:55):
counteracts the you know sometimes how frustrated you make her?

Speaker 12 (01:28:59):
Yeah, and you be calm? Yeah, yeah, that may be right.
She just that it's a leveler yeah. Yeah, and this
year she just discovered it and that maybe that's it,
you know, what you You know what you just said, Calvin,
what's that? We hear what she's saying, but we're also
hearing what she's not saying.

Speaker 7 (01:29:17):
Yeah, between the lines.

Speaker 3 (01:29:19):
Yeah, we are reading between the lines. And I need
something to counter and this one here and pointing to
your baby brother. He doesn't really care that they're still up,
even though it is kind of he wants it to
be over. He just wants done. Well, that's all he wants.
And then though, when you really don't want to do something,
it's easy to be talked out of it. Yea, let's

(01:29:41):
get on this tree. She goes, I don't want to
keep them up. If it brings your wife joy, then
you keep them up. And what she said and said,
who's against joy? Who is it? So if you're against
leaving the trees up? I guess you're against joy, joy, thief.
There's nothing better. Loving trees is wrong. I don't want
to be right. There's nothing better for someone.

Speaker 2 (01:30:00):
And to tell you that you're going to do something
that you really kind of wanted to do anyway, Yeah,
one thing, we're not taking these down. I really don't
go I was hoping today. Okay, So impending doom has
dodged me another day. Well, all right, lately I'm with you.

Speaker 3 (01:30:15):
You enjoy your joy.

Speaker 2 (01:30:17):
And look being married to this man. God knows you
need it. That's a lot of joy there. Field of
greens brings joy, love it every day. You watched Abler
do his field of greens today? So did you find
his interesting looking com Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:30:29):
We were in his little world. Sorry to say, little buddy,
but we're in his world. Yeah, he's something else. So
what what did?

Speaker 2 (01:30:37):
How did you do your field of greens today? I
know it's kind of a shake you doing there?

Speaker 7 (01:30:41):
I just do it a bottle of water, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:30:43):
Just put But what was that other thing you pump
it in?

Speaker 8 (01:30:45):
Well?

Speaker 7 (01:30:45):
I put a few other things in there.

Speaker 3 (01:30:47):
I'm asking a pretty hardcore. Yeah. It looked like a
bed in there, and he's.

Speaker 7 (01:30:53):
It's just a pile of powder on a piece of paper.
I'm making it into a funnel.

Speaker 6 (01:30:56):
Put in a water bottle, shake it up and good
to go. And but yeah, I do field of greens. Creatine, collagen, peptides,
and fiber. Also for my heart.

Speaker 7 (01:31:06):
The fiber is for my heart, it's not for my part.

Speaker 3 (01:31:10):
I walked there and I thought, my goodness, Toelestol, we're
doing the show with scarface. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:31:16):
But anyway, so anyway, Field of Greens it's outstanding, And
how does it work.

Speaker 3 (01:31:21):
It's really pretty simple.

Speaker 2 (01:31:23):
It gives you the nutrition that you're supposed to supposed
to have, but a lot of us just can't make
it happen and our own choices with fruits and vegetables.

Speaker 3 (01:31:31):
But with Field of Greens it happens.

Speaker 2 (01:31:32):
Now my vital organs are getting the nutrition they need,
the clean energy that comes with it, Outstanding the immune
system and how healthy that has been. Outstanding the doctor
the last time I went to have some blood work done,
they're like, whatever you're doing, keep doing it. As a
matter of fact, Field of Greens and brick House Nutrition
they guarantee that if you don't see a difference in

(01:31:53):
your health and your doctor doesn't see it, that they'll
actually refund your money.

Speaker 3 (01:31:57):
I love this product. We all love this product. You
need to get it now.

Speaker 2 (01:32:00):
Fieldofgreens dot Com used to code big Vox twenty percent
off and also find that link at rickburgesshow dot com
under sponsors.

Speaker 6 (01:32:09):
And I don't like the way that honestly, collagen peptide's
tastes I don't like the way fiber tastes.

Speaker 7 (01:32:15):
Creatine doesn't really have a taste, but it's pretty gritty.

Speaker 6 (01:32:18):
I add the Field of Greens to that bottle, and
the Field of Greens I actually like the taste of it,
and I'm just doing the original. It's not even like
the sweetened one, because they have different sweet versions and
if you're worried about the taste, I don't find the
taste bad at all, but they do have sweeter versions
if you're looking for that.

Speaker 3 (01:32:35):
If you just joined us, Field of Greens commercial has
just been completed. Okay, So then in a very weird way, right,
in a weird kind of way, we were promoting them right,
moving on, moving on. But I got to give the
texture credit. They said, we're missing the point. At least
I don't want to pay for another ceiling. Look, let's

(01:32:58):
be honest here. Their own is something. You're dreading it
because you have to put it up. She's dreading it
because she's got to put up with you putting it up.
All right, that she just chore all in itself.

Speaker 6 (01:33:11):
And credit to the credit to the commenters or the
chatter the textures. They also said that it appears that
Cindy lu who has married the Grinch.

Speaker 3 (01:33:23):
By the way, pretty good one here, someone so quick,
do you'urine test on Adler? He's on Royds. Yes, that's
basically what he's said. Hard course, look giving the rick
Burgers show an unfair van. Yeah, that's true, by the way.
On the.

Speaker 2 (01:33:41):
On the on that note, interesting study today, interesting study. Now,
you know, there's some things that we can ignore. And
we've talked about this. I don't know why kids are
sick all the time they are they are. I don't
know why kids and everybody has food allergies now the
whole wide world. I don't know why alltism in the
spectrum that the cases are going through the roof. And

(01:34:04):
it does appear that dementia and Alzheimer's also on the rise. Well,
there is a Harvard research one hundred and thirty three
thousand people for four decades and they evaluated how much
process and unprocessed red meat they ate on average per day.
Controversial Findings says that they found that those that cut

(01:34:31):
their risk of dementia by twenty eight percent they replaced
a portion of process red meat with fish are unprocessed
red meat with fish, and they saw a major change
in their being susceptible to dementia. They said thirteen percent
increase of risk if you're eating processed and that would

(01:34:54):
be bacon, that would be sausage, and then of course
they even said.

Speaker 3 (01:34:59):
That eating sausage.

Speaker 2 (01:35:00):
Right now, I'm staring at ye sixteen percent. Uh if
if you're eating unprocessed meat, but it'd be it's red meat, sirloin,
ground beef, lamb examples.

Speaker 3 (01:35:11):
But there are people that are saying, hold on now.

Speaker 1 (01:35:14):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:35:15):
They they're thinking this seems to be more of an
indictment on red meat, processed and unprocessed. And the people
who are being critical of this study are saying, I
notice you're not talking about anything else in these people's lifestyle.
I mean, are they healthy people? Do they exercise? Are
they these Yeah? What're they say that? There's this study

(01:35:38):
is drawing an unfair line. No from the I don't
like fish that much.

Speaker 3 (01:35:44):
That's crazy. That's about it. Everybody in your rethinking breakfast
right now?

Speaker 1 (01:35:49):
Yeah, So this is the Rick Burgess show.

Speaker 3 (01:36:06):
H h.

Speaker 1 (01:36:13):
They can and do the truth.

Speaker 3 (01:36:20):
Yeah we will. Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:36:22):
So a lot of response, as I would imagine, on
the text line, and the people like that come on,
who funded the study? My favorite so far is you
think the Sizzling's bad for me?

Speaker 3 (01:36:34):
What a good one?

Speaker 4 (01:36:36):
You know?

Speaker 3 (01:36:37):
You know, I opened the brand new year here with
the with the show, you know, doing those two men's
events in Michigan and up in North Alabama. And how
about both of those. Both of them serve mistakes, they
were and they were so good. I still think I missed.
I still think I missed out on the ribby in Michigan.
But I want to get in.

Speaker 2 (01:36:57):
That's my first time that we messed up, you know,
and you I'm the guest, so that I didn't want
to make trouble, but it was just clearly I think
I was supposed to read.

Speaker 3 (01:37:04):
By Morgan Academy deer Hunt, you know, when I went
down and represented the show and sacrificially hunt hunted. The
first night it was a steak dinner, and I'll tell
you something, whoever grilled these steaks, buddy, you did amazing job.
Everybody was talking about how good they were. Everybody. Of course,
the next night it was catfish. It was tough. It's

(01:37:26):

Hey the steak you're talking about having a good steak,
about Ole Gary, give us a good steak camp. I
mean you know, of course, you know you know where
I got them, The butcher Shop. Got right across the street,
New York butcher Shop. Come on with that when you
walk in today. Hey, oh, I love the New York
butcher Shop. You think they don't know me? When I

(01:37:47):

to sandwich? You, guys?

Speaker 2 (01:37:50):
When I walk in there, it ain't even It's like
Norm walking into cheers, ybody.

Speaker 3 (01:37:59):
All right? So I meaning steak right now, Speedy, What
I'm gonna what I'm gonna say here, here's people now
saying just so you know, I'm watching Rick's dance injury again.
Never not funny. Okay, guys, It's never not funny.

Speaker 2 (01:38:13):
Agreed, by the way. Uh all right, here come Speedy.
You feel so bad for Speedy right now? I don't
feel as bad for you as I do for one
Andy Blak. It's a bad for him, I feel, all right.
So a lot of I know people love the behind
the scenes stuff, and we try to give you all
as much of that as we can. So when you
look at the world kind of when you get into
our little world. So you have you know, Big Vox Entertainment,

(01:38:34):
brand new company, brand new show.

Speaker 3 (01:38:36):
That's me Speedy Greg Atner. Okay. Then you go over
here and you have our different relationships with Blaze Media.
You have our relationships you know with a heart as
far as the podcast archives now, and then then you
have our relationship with you know, all the syndicated solutions.
That's all of our syndication and our affiliates. You know,

(01:38:59):
you got you tune in over here. That's kind of
over in their world too. We just interact with a
lot of different people, you know, there's a lot of
different groups, some at media, yeah, some at media, and
then you then you get into you know, the Themanchurch
dot Com and Burgess Ministries, and then the relationships are
there and and one of those relationships of course is

(01:39:19):
the publisher, which is Ironhill Press, and and of course
that's that we partner with them, you know, on the
Manchurch dot Com for instance, and some other things to come.
So Andy, as you know, is in Speedy's world, was
secondhand embarrassment even though he's a marine, which is strange. Yeah,

(01:39:41):
you and Speedy.

Speaker 2 (01:39:43):
Has worked with you know, all all of our quirks
for a long time, and he's worked with me for
thirty plus years.

Speaker 3 (01:39:50):
Okay, and you and you could write a book about
these yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:39:55):
And and sometimes you find yourself trying to say if
I could just help people that are having to deal
with you on certain things. And so there's a there's
there's a project that I have completed that I'm super
excited about, okay, And I have been told by Andy
that I'm not to speak of it until until like

(01:40:19):
sometime in like late winter early spring.

Speaker 3 (01:40:24):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:40:25):
And and even though it's gonna be if you come
to in the conferences, you're gonna get in the loop
pretty quick. But because we will be speaking of it there.
But he has told me emphatically and again just this week,
do not speak of this on the show yet. How

(01:40:46):
do you think that's gonna go. It's not gonna go
well at all?

Speaker 3 (01:40:48):
Do you do? You feel bad for it? So he's
trying to cut off you pull in a Daarberry and
talking about something that's not available yet.

Speaker 2 (01:40:53):
He doesn't want me to speak of it because there's
something that's coming and the people that are gonna be
part to that, or saying we want to launch it
all at the same time, we don't want him speaking
of this. And see, the only hope they have is
if I weren't finished with it. The fact I'm finished
and I'm sorry Andy, and and.

Speaker 3 (01:41:14):
I mean it happened.

Speaker 2 (01:41:15):
We were right in there and he said, I want
to say this again, because I asked him.

Speaker 3 (01:41:19):
I said, can I just say something about it? And
I'm sure he goes, no, it's just like you know,
to tell you how a movie turns out the same
I love to talk about it. We had to shut
him down. Please quit.

Speaker 2 (01:41:31):
If I get excited about something, I like to share,
you do, Yeah, I like to share very loud.

Speaker 3 (01:41:36):
Yeah, rig you can't talk about that. Yeah, I know,
but y'all know, I mean, everybody and and baby brother
would know more about it, right see, And I'm gonna
tell Andy right now, and it's about to happen right now,

(01:41:56):
we are. He tries to stop. It's building, He tries
you off, and you think, okay, he stopped, and then
he'll say, like one more line, well you know what,
you know the whole movie? Yeah, exactly, it's the same thing.
I would let Greg know more. But then he'll say
something like you did about yesterday Bible study and probably
hurt my feet. I said nothing negative about the Bible.

(01:42:19):
So there was no way, andy or less that. There's
no way they could have completed the project and not
told you, because that's what should have happened, and should have.
They should have kept putting you off, like, hey, we'll
figure it out, we'll know, yeah, just I we'll know.
Not even closed. But now that you know, it's ready.
But here's what happened.

Speaker 2 (01:42:39):
Something happened to me, something happened in this particular category.
Something happened that has not happened as far as I'm concerned.

Speaker 3 (01:42:48):
With the other things in this category. And so once
that happened, they came in and said, hey, the normal
way you do this, you gotta stop. Okay, you know
I know what you're wanting to do. Yeah, and you
can't do it. So I'm getting messages from them right
now for you to please please back up away from
the ledge, please any better, because he's going to say

(01:43:11):
any chance they've asked you to please stop, he will say,
I do have one question. Less, I do have one question.

Speaker 2 (01:43:20):
When we get into you know, Conference one, Conference two,
Conference three, and thousands of men now.

Speaker 3 (01:43:28):
Know how am I supposed to be quiet about it? Well,
you just don't. You don't bring on the conversation. If
somebody brings it to us on air, then you deal
with it, you know, the best you can. You don't
appreciate you bringing that up. We have mentioned that more
details come in late spring. Kay, you know that kind
of thing, But you don't initiate the converse. I'm so excited.
I'm sorry, guys. I deal with this all the time.

(01:43:52):
Any any chance I make it? No, No, it is
eating it you know now, kind of like Greg putting
up Christmas decorations. It sounds like. It also sounds like
to me.

Speaker 2 (01:44:03):
It also sounds like to me that there's other people
because why I can't speak of it yet, that are
now going to be brought into my world for the
first time.

Speaker 3 (01:44:11):
Uh huh? That that are? That are that are the
reason they want me to wait? Yeah, and I'm about
to be handed off to them. They're in for a
big disappointment. Okay. I have a friend of Andy's that
has just texted me and you know them, Please ask
Rick to stop. Andy will cry. Okay, now, he won't cry,
like actually cry, but he'll be upset. I ask you
the one. Sorry, Andy. Everybody says here, look, Rick, I'm

(01:44:35):
just asking you. I'm just asking you.

Speaker 2 (01:44:37):
Calvin Speedy will bring in course you too, Greg, you
and really all you had ad here worked with me
long enough to You're in a room with one Andy Blanks,
and you're in the room with the people they're telling
Andy to tell Rick.

Speaker 3 (01:44:48):
What do you say to them? Lie? Yeah, never let
him know it's been Yeah, tell him that that is
not complete. Now. Now he's going to give you a
hard time, but not be clip. That's a fact. That's
the only thing that you can do. I mean, and
tell him it's not ready. Yeah, just kind of fudget,
just a little yeah, and I've had to hold up

(01:45:12):
give you something like that. I can make a hold
up story about, you know, it's make it up. Yeah, okay,
I got a little hold up on that. Yeah. Yeah,
you know we're not quite ready. H that's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (01:45:21):
Do you agree that I need to be shown clearly
the whole vision of why it's important.

Speaker 3 (01:45:26):
Yeah, that would help him, know. It depends on how
long that presentation is. A way you'll stop listening. It's
an interesting I feel for him. Yeah, I ain't gonna
make it. I ain't gonna make it. No, no, And
I'll say make it today. You can only distract you
for so long and then you you're ready. That's a

(01:45:48):
big old microphone and I'm on that a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:45:55):

Speaker 2 (01:46:39):
He ain't got a hair if you don't talk about
so now I understand the reason why I do. It's
just it's just I struggle that kind of stuff. Also,
I want to ask you a question. I want to
ask you a question about we Got It. I got
an email today that said that they were watching one
of Elvis Presley's movies, The Western, and they asked me

(01:47:00):
to ask you, Greg, what you thought of Elvis's acting.

Speaker 3 (01:47:03):
Oh come on, that was an email today. Yeah. To
be honest, I haven't seen a lot of his movies, right,
but I know this until he made the comeback? Was
it sixty five? I mean that is his what's his name? Colonel? Yeah,
colonel pretty much put him in every movie that you know.
They said that not a great actor, let's just call

(01:47:25):
it that. Ain't But he always had a song to
sing during the show, got all girls screaming. That's why
people went.

Speaker 2 (01:47:30):
How many of those did? It wasn't for his act.
He was gonna do a song in every movie. Hey, mom,
I remember Mom telling them that they didn't miss the movies.
She said, remember when he was on the train. It
came through Birmingham, when he was in the army, when
he was going yep, and everybody cheered as he went by.

Speaker 3 (01:47:46):
Right, wow, So there you go. I had to miss this,
and list I'll be so mad at me. She loves Elvis.
I ain't that big Elvis. Oh here we go. And
we were putting up the decorations earlier, you know. But
actually when it made sense and she was amazic and
it was Elvis, and it started getting on my nerves.

(01:48:07):
You cannot, I want I wanted some Michael but Player
or something.

Speaker 1 (01:48:10):
Release the cracking look.

Speaker 3 (01:48:13):
And I appreciate that he was this huge super I mean,
look at it. I mean you got like of the
Tuplo Kings, I mean the city of Tuplow. They have
Elvis to Day and all this stuff, and it was
a huge deal. But I just want to listen. I
like better the early stuff. But when he started like that,
you know, but I liked it. He was jail house,

(01:48:34):
upsetting so many people, right, hound dogs setting people, hound
dog jail he sounded then ye before he went into
the Yeah, I like that, but when he suddenly became this,
you can't go. You don't like that? And what I
like that song? And did you even say enough of
his movies like you said, I didn't say a lot

(01:48:55):
of them, but I know he always sing a song
in it. And you don't like his Christmas music you've
established app I like it in small, very small doses.
Lisa is mad at me right now. She's listening. She
would you do you bring it up her Christmas decorations?
So Elvis of the Beatles, not crazy about either one,
but I go Beatles, you would you would listen to

(01:49:16):
them first over Elvis?

Speaker 4 (01:49:18):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:49:19):
Wow, Okay, I think I have to sadly agree Beatles
and stones on stones? What if Elvis sang Beatles songs?
Wells which voice is in. He's in a combination of
hound dog and would you let it be? Let it be,

(01:49:45):
let it be, let it be. And I'll be honest,
his karate moves got on my nerves stage and all
of a sudden he started doing karate moves. What was
that about?

Speaker 17 (01:49:53):
Let it out?

Speaker 3 (01:49:54):
Keep going out? And how about this? I was watching
some live footage. He wouldn't just kiss the girls in
the audience. I mean, he wouldn't make out with him.
I'm talking. It looked like a love scene. Have you
ever seen it? And it was lying, it's uncomfortable, it's uncomfortable.

(01:50:14):
And he really didn't have much of a call factor. No,
come on, come on, come on. I was like, well,
you kiss him, my mama, take it back. But she's
wearing those old porn extra yeah, I mean he so
Have I ever told you? This is so typical? It

(01:50:34):
sounds like you know how The wife's shared to this
day claims that when people faint over beatles, she said,
they're faking.

Speaker 2 (01:50:42):
She goes, I ain't nobody's presence make you faint? I agree,
other than the one and only living God, I agree.

Speaker 3 (01:50:49):
I wonder about that. And she's like I feel like
she fainted, so I got a faint. Yeah, She's like,
these are the girls? Ain't fainting swooning falling like that?
And I'm like, I don't know, I've never made you
feel like you need to swim? She was not. Really,
you're about fainting? Hey you yesterday?

Speaker 8 (01:51:10):
Oh my?

Speaker 3 (01:51:10):
Remember she's over. So I made Terry faint last night.
I cleaned the kitchen. I bet that worked. Yeah, you
don't blame it, dishes cleaned the kitchen. Listen when you
make a statement like that and you notice you now
have the floor. I mean, no one is going to
say one thing. Do you finish that thought? Tell me

(01:51:33):
what you got?

Speaker 4 (01:51:34):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:51:36):
Rick alwas? Did sing Beatles songs? I forgot somebody put
it up there? Did he really, Hey Jude yesterday? That's good?
Oh did he do those? Oh? How about that? I
did not know that. I was, you know, when he's
real large before he died. That guy Finish was holding
the microphone when ye had to get tired. It was

(01:51:56):
very sad, wasn't that like the last feature ever? I
will say this after watching the movie the Latest one Elvis,
whatever I did come, I came out of that sad
for him. Yeah, and just I know he's a grown man,
but but the people around and you know, some some
didn't have his best interest in mind, and and it
just he went down a path. It was just sad.

(01:52:17):
But you know that last song if the first thing
with in my mind is pretty big production. Do we
not have a mic? Stand? Right?

Speaker 8 (01:52:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:52:25):
Why is one of the jordan Aaire's got to hold it?
I didn't understand that either. Bothered. Here's the king of
rock and roll. We don't have an extended mic boom,
My goodness.

Back up where they were. I don't want I don't
want to seem incense. Look look, look, look, no I said,

magnitude and his influence, of course, I mean that's one
of the most people are still today. Of course. But

there's a few a lot, do you really enjoy them?
And I go, not really. I appreciate everything else. And

All right, so speed You got to scroll down on
the text, all right, scroll down on the text. So
here's somebody on the text. Two things we'll hit off
the text line to start the hour. Here's one. I
was watching old Turner South YouTube clips with Rick running
the board prior to weight loss and his health transformation.
I just see a sprinkle of Elvis playing on Shane

(01:56:48):
Melody at the end of the Elvis movie. So my
question is, when Bubba writes his tell All book, we'll
we learned that Speedy was actually Rick's Colonel Parker's bring
cheeseburgers in when he should have said to Rick, hey, buddy,
tap the.

Speaker 3 (01:57:04):
Brook that's good. So so anyway, uh, you know, look, hey,
I go back and look at some of that and
I'm like, did nobody love me? I mean, well, we
saw we saw you every day, so it didn't hit
us well. In the twenty year reunion tour that DVD. Yes, yeah,

(01:57:24):
I'm a fan.

Speaker 2 (01:57:25):
Well, I've said, if you want to see us as
far as a team at our largest it is the
twenty year anniversary. We ain't never been you know, people
have been larger individually, but as far as the team.

Speaker 3 (01:57:36):
And let's all get get on stage together this year.

Speaker 2 (01:57:39):
But you know, I think we're not in I think
it is one of those things that is true. Is
you know, because I would say to myself what I've
often wondered about others.

Speaker 3 (01:57:49):
Do you not have a mirror? But I think it's
especially if it's gradual like that, you don't you can't
see yourself. And you know how many times have.

Speaker 2 (01:57:57):
You ever thought you were looking at something in and
then you saw old pictures from that same same er
and you're like, wo wow yeah uh so so yeah,
that's funny.

Speaker 8 (01:58:06):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:58:06):
And also I keep getting this on the text so
many times, and I have answered it, by the way,
and I understand you're not all listening at the same time.
What what is Rick doing when he bends down during
the break uh? During the commercial breaks? What is he doing?
Some people think I'm adjusting the board, some people think
I'm praying, which that's nice.

Speaker 3 (01:58:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:58:28):
What I still use CDs uh for certain bad music
and setting up certain things.

Speaker 3 (01:58:35):
So the CD players are really really low down here?
Are you laughing at cdsds?

Speaker 6 (01:58:43):
Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I just I just came.

Speaker 3 (01:58:48):
Do you remember the camp House? Do you remember the
camp House? Do you remember the camp House? Sing at all? Right?
You know, looking back, I just swished with you in
the woods, you know, I just you know.

Speaker 2 (01:59:03):
But anyway, so so anyway, people keep asking what I'm doing, right,
and they're the CD players are down there. And so
when you get like get injured dancing and stuff like that,
to try to avoid that, and the younger days, I
would just have bent over and done it. But now
I go ahead and go all the way down there,
so I'm not putting stressed. So you can actually get

(01:59:24):
back up, so I can get back up, and of course,
you know, since I've been doing a little bit better,
I can actually go down there and backup.

I can't get up on my toes anytime, Yeah, I was.
I was asking him like, if you know, if you
go down, maybe you working on your tire or something
on your car, and you just kind of go down
there and catch your stands up. It's tough. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:00:21):

back up. If I use the force of my left knee.
It sounds like I'm like breaking spaghetti noodles.

Speaker 2 (02:00:33):
Know how about My foot is so bad When I
do a cash stretch, you know that thing we get
up on your stretch calves. The first time that I

those knees popping.

And I said, that's my right foot grinding, and he went,
oh my gosh, all ready to tell the officer that
one time easy, you're telling you said, I can't get
on my toes no matter what. Correct, And he was
telling an offers to that, Yeah, I have a foot injury.
And the officer, the officers need me to do something
that physically I couldn't do that. I had a few

(02:01:06):
tricks he had to do.

Speaker 2 (02:01:07):
I said, what you're asking me to do has nothing
to do with while we're here. And I did prove
that I was not under the influence. I said, but
I can't do that even completely.

Speaker 3 (02:01:17):
So it was so bad that he thought you were
in the influence. Yeah, because you couldn't do it right. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:01:22):
So they tried other things and like a breathalyzer, and
the guys like, oh, okay, you're right, you can't get
on you.

that was in the glove.

Speaker 3 (02:09:08):
You can't read. It says why does it have gloves?
I don't know Chinese.

Speaker 7 (02:09:14):
Michael Jackson up in here.

Speaker 3 (02:09:16):
I don't think you should wear the gloves. I find
that to be. Here's a wig too, I need that on.

Speaker 6 (02:09:23):

Speaker 12 (02:09:35):
Okay, Oh y'all, y'all good, this is good.

Speaker 3 (02:09:41):
This is awesome. Where's where's your where's the where's the road,
where's the road? The rope?

Speaker 8 (02:09:45):
Here?

Speaker 3 (02:09:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (02:09:46):
Get that thing, it's got a dicky on it to
okay or whatever you have business?

Speaker 3 (02:09:54):
Okay, there we go.

Speaker 4 (02:09:56):
Order.

Speaker 3 (02:09:57):
Okay, that's that's really order. Order.

Speaker 7 (02:10:03):
What other legal terms should I say?

Speaker 3 (02:10:05):
I don't know any of the.

Speaker 6 (02:10:07):
Sustained sustained the prosecution rests rest.

Speaker 3 (02:10:14):
Over.

Speaker 12 (02:10:15):
Yeah, maybe it's corpusby is Corpus.

Speaker 3 (02:10:23):
Could see you now without that wig, you got a
little bit of Ruth Bader Ginsburg to you. Oh call
me Ruth Bader.

Speaker 7 (02:10:34):
I'm a hero of women's rights.

Speaker 3 (02:10:36):
I think, I don't know. I know that's a claim man.
Not a lot of for that now. So that well,
that one's ready to go.

Speaker 2 (02:10:45):
And and you know, we thought about maybe taking some
people in the in the seats and taking their cases.
You know, we did one on the phone of the day.
I thought it went okay, And so we're working on
another one another way.

Speaker 3 (02:10:59):
Did you Yeah, did you just break that hand? Put
it back on? That didn't? Well, you got a better
one coming, okay.

Speaker 2 (02:11:03):
So we're looking at other ways for you to participate
as an audience and win some stuff too.

Speaker 3 (02:11:09):
And so that's great.

Speaker 2 (02:11:10):
We're thinking of one that's called and involves Greg called
right again, Right Again? Now, what would happen on right again,
because Greg, you know, has all sorts of meaningless knowledge.
Is that what we would happen is we would have
three questions. You would call in and then we would

(02:11:30):
ask Greg these questions. He will give his answer and
if you say I agree with Greg, then you would
agree with him, and if you both get it right,
you'd move on. And you could say I disagree with
Greg and say Greg gets it right, then you would
be out immediately. So you have to kind of decide
whether you think Greg has the right answer or not.

(02:11:50):
And of course every single time that he's right, he
then says right again, right, and and so if you
get three of those, you win something right.

Speaker 3 (02:12:00):
So so there you go. So how you like right again?
I love that we don't have any questions ready, So
I don't think we're gonna do it today. But it
may suck, but no, because it is amazing the things
that you know a lot about. Yeah, I know a
lot about classic rock bands nobody cares about no, but

(02:12:22):
who played on what album? And stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (02:12:24):
Yeah, So I figure if you're on this show and
say you're playing right again, then we would say, if
you heard the questions coming out of the Andy Griffith
Show our classic rock, you better go with Gregg. Andy
griff I need to brush up on a little Gregg.
I've heard you say things about Andy Griffith, about jubeble Fallsman.

Speaker 3 (02:12:42):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (02:12:43):
This is exactly what I'm talking about Ray Hollister. Who
are these people?

Speaker 3 (02:12:50):
Jubal? I think Giubil was though man that op accidentally
burned his barn down. Oh they locked him up for
something he was He was old moonshiner. Okay, but come
find they could sing real good, remember that, I do not. Greg.

Speaker 2 (02:13:07):
Do you remember when the Elvis type character came to
town that used to go to Mayberry or something and
he was talking about uh flat something flat and he
played the music and it was a big something bands
so flat. No, he was like a solo Guymberdam, you're.

Speaker 3 (02:13:25):
Really Elwood Francis was the basis for what a great
American rock band? Oh zz top is Greg right or wrong?
I will? I will he's replaced Dusty Hill? Wow, I will.
I will disagree with Greg. Greg's right. Oh my god, Greg,

(02:13:47):
you know Dusty died a week later they were back
way and to say it again, Greg, right again? I
think this got potential.

Speaker 2 (02:13:57):
Yeah yeah, he said Jimmy Fleet in his man or
Bobby Flee, Bobby Flee.

Speaker 3 (02:14:01):
He was Bobby Flee and something Okay, Bobby Flee. Yeah.
It was the actor that played I think it was
the guy the boss hog his his deputy his debit. Yeah,
that actor whatever his name was.

Speaker 2 (02:14:16):
All right, so we'll be back. So right again, is
something I think we gotta play with.

Speaker 3 (02:14:21):
I think we let's work out your questions. Maybe got
that tomorrow?

Speaker 8 (02:14:23):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (02:14:24):
Let me right back.

Speaker 1 (02:14:26):

Speaker 7 (02:16:06):
All right, bought the less expensive one.

Speaker 3 (02:16:08):
I don't know who it's for movie quality. It's not
movie quality.

Speaker 7 (02:16:12):
It was smaller for some reason.

Speaker 2 (02:16:14):
Yeah, okay, all right, And some of you are not
understanding some of the things that we do here, like
Man of a Thousand Voices, So it was a Man
of a Thousand Voices means that we asked Speedy do
do an impression of a famous person, And some of you,
I think are confusing Gary sings the Hits with Speedy's
Man of a Thousand Voices because somebody just asked Speedy
to see if he could imitate Olivia Newton John singing

(02:16:38):
physical and and that's not Man of a Thousand Voys,
so that that's not what it's about. So so people
are saying it's Freddy Fleet and his band with a beat.

Speaker 3 (02:16:48):
Okay, I know something Fleet, okay. And Jeorge Lindsay's character
was like a local boy that was really good, and
I think that's ends up in Freddy's band or something. Yeah,
and then he come back to Maybury and everybody's making
us over all rights.

the least. Every single family gathering ever, there's a moment
when Lisa takes some family member off to the side

waffle house and use the free Wi Fi.

but you know it's it's not for long. Landon, Welcome
to the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 16 (02:19:09):
Go ahead, man, I just want to know what's up
with all these hill billy singer songwriters that keep calling
in trying to sing these songs on air.

Speaker 2 (02:19:20):
You're not impressed, you know. I think the guy who
did that, what is it? Something north of Richmond. I
think that guy gave everybody hope. I think everybody thinks,
well good night. If I just had access to the
people like him, I can do it.

Speaker 3 (02:19:33):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (02:19:34):
But yeah, there's a new musical feel to this show.
Have you noticed it's my fault because I'll sing at
the drop of a hat, good, bad, or ugly, and
I think it's inspired others. But you know, we sing
a lot here. We like music, so I don't know.
So is this a good way of setting up your song? Landon,
what do you sing first?

Speaker 3 (02:19:52):
Today?

Speaker 20 (02:19:53):
Well?

Speaker 16 (02:19:54):
I don't really have nothing, but I would love to
see Greg and Speedy make their own my album.

Speaker 3 (02:20:00):
Absolutely absolutely we may look into that. Oh please please.

Speaker 16 (02:20:05):
I think we need to make it happen and have
like a Christmas special this year.

Speaker 3 (02:20:10):
No, I agree with you.

Speaker 2 (02:20:13):
Some people are saying that they know the thing that
has happened that I can't announce yet, but I want
to real bad and some of you have already busted us.
It's the Mister Lucky Gospel album.

Speaker 3 (02:20:23):
It is. It's out there. Let's go hut to muffing,
Uh huh muffing. Welcome to the show.

Speaker 4 (02:20:33):
I's going guys, y'all doing look good?

Speaker 3 (02:20:34):
How about you?

Speaker 20 (02:20:36):
Oh, I'm trying to load a deer up right now
that I'm shot pretty good morning. But I'm sitting no hey,
I mean he's like from where I'm out here in Mississippi.
I mean, he ain't no giant, but hey, then backstop's
gonna make the grease take. Anyways, I always when I'm
sitting here in the stand earlier, I'm about to just

(02:20:58):
pee myself when I'm listen to a guy, and I
don't know the guy was cold or not, the guy
that had the speech impediment, but I could just imagine
Greg getting over there just being a drill jay about it.

Speaker 3 (02:21:09):
Well, here's the thing, Muffin.

Speaker 2 (02:21:10):
Everybody was giving Greg all these compliments about his growth,
but what they don't realize he wasn't in a position
to say anything. He was in their screening calls. He
didn't do anything spectacular.

Speaker 3 (02:21:22):
You know, he's making fun of him.

Speaker 20 (02:21:23):
I could see it.

Speaker 4 (02:21:24):
I bet he would. I could just see him doing it.

Speaker 3 (02:21:26):
Why do you think he put him on exactly? I
mean I couldn't go.

Speaker 20 (02:21:30):
Yeah, that's that's why.

Speaker 3 (02:21:32):
Yeah, I couldn't get the microphone in in the call
screening room to work. There you go, muffin. I enjoy that, dear,
thanks for calling. I'm gonna make that grease. Yeah, that's
so good. John in Huntsville one hundred point three the river,
Come on John.

Speaker 17 (02:21:48):
Hey boys, look, so I'll live in the Huntsfle area.
And I was at Walmart the other day and I
happened to walk past the Clarence All and their stands
a bald man with a goat to you, and I said,
oh my gosh, they're speedy. He's down here visiting his parents. Well,
all of a sudden, another dude walks up, give him
a big old smack on the lips. I said, good grief,

(02:22:09):
that really is speedy.

Speaker 3 (02:22:14):
That's terrible. Oh you just made Greggs day.

Speaker 1 (02:22:17):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (02:22:18):
So, okay, look that's all right, and I will I will.

Speaker 2 (02:22:22):
I haven't told Speedy this yet, but I've been seeing
it reoccurring. And you know, Gary has lost a little weighty.
I mean I driped a couple of pounds and he
sha said, you've you've seen it too, haven't you. People
are starting to say that you and Gary are morphing
into looking like each other.

Speaker 3 (02:22:44):
It's it's as you get.

Speaker 2 (02:22:45):
Older and he gets thinner that people are saying that
there's a little bit of similarity.

Speaker 3 (02:22:50):
I don't necessarily agree with that. I'm just saying that
every bald guy looks a lot, but now you do
look like Cyrus and Virus and con Air. That's now
that's different. That's a but that's the difference. But if
it's a go t ball guy that they didn't win
the same, well, when Gary gets here tomorrow, if he
makes it, and he's gonna try to get here, we'll

(02:23:11):
put you off side by side and and we'll we'll
get a picture and what you see what I'm talking about,
You're you're getting you're getting older. I mean, you're you're
grand to do with me getting older, all getting older,
and Gary is getting leaner, and so you're seeing the
Gary now. Of course, Gary will make out landish statements
about his way outland. What's on, Jenny Craig? No, Hey,

(02:23:34):
since I had that COVID, I don't know. I just
don't like to eating. No one to see what of
them claiming eating bread? Of course?

Speaker 2 (02:23:41):
And but Gary has made statements to me before, Like
one time I said, Gary, what you baby like you
lost a little. Yeah, I mean I'm down two ten
to Gary. Way to your legs weigh too ten?

Speaker 3 (02:23:54):
Well, not anymore? He got some skinny legs looking at
me again.

Speaker 2 (02:23:58):
No, that's what I'm saying. I mean, Gary legs are
looking a little more like yours. And so y'all are
both bald? Do you both have a goatee?

Speaker 3 (02:24:05):
That's gray? You make turkey calls? Right? You think you
think he ain't getting excided about turkeys? Oh, hey, we
need to get ahead of it now, he says that. Now, Hey,
we need to get ahead of it now. All right,
we'll come back. We got more to talk about today.
Y'all want me to bring back? Hey boy, hey, I'm

we haven't covered yet today. Uh so uh as we
work our way back, where are you guys? Now?

Speaker 2 (02:25:42):
I know that we've already talked about red meat early
in the program and so, but I want to ask
you guys, where are all of you on the popular
burger chain shake Shack.

Speaker 3 (02:25:54):
I hadn't heard of it. And shake shack a bit,
it's a big deal. Yeah, I've heard a steak in shake.
I've heard a steak in shake?

Speaker 2 (02:26:03):
What what is shake shack?

Speaker 3 (02:26:07):
Never been though? All right, So here at it. Listen.

Speaker 2 (02:26:11):
You know we've had people saying, you know, they're closing,
people shutting stuff down, people struggling. Uh, you know, because
some of them never could never survive all the things
we made them do unnecessarily during the pandemic.

Speaker 3 (02:26:23):
We destroyed their their.

Speaker 2 (02:26:24):
Livelihood, all under false pretense and bad information and horrible science.
So so now it says the popular burger chain. I
know that some burger chains and stuff like that are regional.
We're deep South Southerners, so I don't know where these are.

Speaker 7 (02:26:42):
We've got one here in town. I've actually I have
been there.

Speaker 6 (02:26:44):
With realizing is that the one where look look look
on the Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know where that.

Speaker 3 (02:26:50):
That's okay. So I thought that was all about shakes.
I didn't know they had burgers.

Speaker 7 (02:26:53):
I've had their shakes before.

Speaker 3 (02:26:54):
They're good. I've not had the shakeshare over the top.
To me, this is way too much.

Speaker 2 (02:26:58):
Are those Are those the ones who have the doughnut
in it and all that kind of stuff?

Speaker 7 (02:27:02):
They have some of those?

Speaker 3 (02:27:03):
Can you have a regular shake there without all that?

Speaker 6 (02:27:05):
If I this was like a year or more two
years ago when I went with my wife, and if
I remember, their straws are real big around.

Speaker 2 (02:27:11):
Okay, how about this, I didn't know they had burgers
and Rick it's right there on the side.

Speaker 3 (02:27:15):
It is a burger. Is that a burger.

Speaker 2 (02:27:16):
I thought it was nothing, but you know elaborate shakes.
Oh well, how about that? I know where that is,
drove by it? And I did not know they had burgers.
Well that's that's okay. So they said that they planned
to open at least fifteen hundred new locations, more than
triple the amount that they projected a decade ago.

Speaker 3 (02:27:41):
Currently.

Speaker 2 (02:27:42):
Yeah, currently only three hundred and twenty nine company operated
restaurants in the United States. They do have two hundred internationally. Interesting,
anybody ever had a burger? Because they're talking about like
they're going to make a run at McDonald's.

Speaker 3 (02:27:57):
Listen to this.

Speaker 2 (02:27:58):
Twenty twenty four shake shack made one point three billion,
not bad and revenue. Uh wow, I see all our
thoughts because I know a lot of times like you
see you know, mother daughter things and stuff like that,
and they go in and get all these specialty shakes,
you know what I mean, the ones that are like
I mean, I mean, got all kinds of stuff on them,

(02:28:20):
and they're a lot of fun and all that. But
this is the part about them. I didn't know. I
did not know they had burgers. Greg And that's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (02:28:28):
I know, you like a burger. I like good thick one.
Do you agree that, uh looked good?

Speaker 2 (02:28:34):
Do you agree that calling it shake, calling it shake
shacked and just putting kind of an obscure burger up there.
I'm not being drawn to the burger. And I see though,
rick On, the very shake is a burger. Yeah, I
know why I've never.

Speaker 3 (02:28:53):
I've never been in there. Raised memories, you felt? Do
you think we get to drunk? You thought there was
a restaurant and all they made was milkshakes, great shakeshack. Yeah,
that's a lot for it wasn't called burger and shake shack. Yeah,
but there's no way there's a rest I never went
in there. I didn't shake. I didn't know if I
remember correctly.

Speaker 6 (02:29:11):
It's like a weird setup where you go in and
you order on like a screen, You order on a screen,
and uh, it was filled with a bunch of young kids.

Speaker 7 (02:29:21):
Their allowance. What are these kids doing?

Speaker 2 (02:29:23):
What they're doing in there? It's a shake shack, That's
why they're in there. There is and you know what
I mean about those big old huge shakes. It's got
stuff all I mean, yeah, I don't even know how
people drink them.

Speaker 3 (02:29:33):
You know. Look I've got to shake with a piece
of cake in it.

Speaker 4 (02:29:36):
You know.

Speaker 3 (02:29:36):
It's like, man, let's just simplify the shake a little bit.
First of all, somebody they say that they're a little pricey,
but the story didn't say they weren't doing well. No,
wonder their struggling. They're not struggle. They're not struggling. You're
missing the strug You're missing the story.

Speaker 2 (02:29:51):
They're saying that while other people are reducing locations, Shake
Shack has tripled what they were even projecting. Uh that
that the stores they're doing wide open one point three billion,
uh struggling. Well, when they talked about expensive, I know
we talked about it before. We're not talking about five

(02:30:13):
guys expensive five guys. I don't know what where they're
coming up with this figure on.

Speaker 3 (02:30:19):
Their burgers, good burger. I got no.

Speaker 2 (02:30:21):
Problem with the taste of their food. But even I
am bothered by there's no way you're going there's a
burger ain't cheap?

Speaker 3 (02:30:29):
Is it not?

Speaker 2 (02:30:29):
Have you ever gone to five guys and seen how
much it calls fries too? It's like, hey, hey, mister burgers,
Hey good to see. I don't know how you do
my name, so I just do that part in there.
But anyway, yeah, but whatever, Hey hey dude, uh hey Beard,
Hey hey Beard. Uh so, uh I saw you on YouTube.
But anyway, so don't want you dance for us. But anyway, Yeah,

(02:30:54):
I'll have a burger, my wife have a burger, and
we'll have that unbelievably huge bag of fries. Give me
some fries. Yeah, okay, that doesn't make up. How much
is that forty seven dollars?

Speaker 8 (02:31:03):
You know?

Speaker 3 (02:31:03):
And you're like, what I mean, I try to trick
you with that giant bag of fry. Yeah, like they're
doing something for you. Those friess speech and they got
sacks of potatoes everywhere in there they did. I'll take terry. Therefore,
going out in a like a really good day, we'll
go there. She's thrilled. You don't go near five guys,
not anymore. It is there was a time that it
seems do you know the last time I was at
five guys. And it's not because of the price I'm avoiding.

(02:31:24):
It's just that there's not there's on the paths that
I travel. I would have to go out of the
way to get on here. Yeah, that's.

Speaker 4 (02:31:32):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:31:32):
The day before on April twenty six, we were in
Tuscaloosa doing a book signing across the mall. From the
mall there on McFarlane and we ate it the five guys,
and the next day the tornadoes hit. I don't think
that had anything to do with it, but you're right. No,
I said, that's the last time I've been in there.

Speaker 10 (02:31:46):
Here.

Speaker 3 (02:31:47):
Oh, I thought you were saying it called shake shack.
You thought I said that. Here's what I'm getting on
shake shack on the table. I know you like a
thick burger, so you could go back. That's really funny.

Speaker 2 (02:31:56):
Yeah, shake shack says they said mediocre, both burger and shake.
Somebody else says excellent. So it's all you know, people.

Speaker 3 (02:32:05):
If somebody disagrees because they're expanding, right, you're right. Do
you want to hamburger there a little bit?

Speaker 4 (02:32:10):
Now? I do?

Speaker 3 (02:32:11):
Yeah, But I'm happy for him. I mean, anytime now
anybody's expanding, that's awesome. Here's I just I've never I
didn't even know they're there.

Speaker 2 (02:32:20):
Here's where I'm I don't want to share.

Speaker 3 (02:32:24):
I've actually listened.

Speaker 2 (02:32:26):
I've actually stood in front of it after leaving eating
at the place next to it.

Speaker 3 (02:32:32):
But I'm not going to shake place. I mean, there's
nothing that's just a shake place. It's called shake shack.
I've never heard of a restaurant that serves just shanks.
I bet there is one maybe. All Right, so let's
talk about this. Why Why is the headline on Daily Mail.
One of America's favorite burger chains is about to challenge
McDonald's to a level never seen before. Now see, I

(02:32:55):
don't shake shack is one of America's favorite burger chains. Well,
I'm sure in certain regions maybe of the country, they're
probably a little bit more.

Speaker 2 (02:33:02):
But we don't think their revenue has anything to do
with all their shakes. It's called shake shack.

Speaker 3 (02:33:06):
You go in here, got a burger shack. It's not
called burgershack. Yeah, you wanted to change, that's my deal.
And I know that they're different situations, but the picture
you showed of the local one, if they're going to
compete with McDonald's, they need to be a standalone with
a drive through, right. McDonald's is about convenience, That's what
it's about. When's last time made a McDonald's About a
month ago? Speedy, I can't remember when I think you

(02:33:29):
ever wanted something We went there. You go Adams got
small kids? You surely you know.

Speaker 7 (02:33:34):
I can't remember.

Speaker 3 (02:33:35):
I'm not in a while sometimes number seven double GeSe.

Speaker 2 (02:33:38):
It's almost like now that my kids are all grown,
it's like I feel like that I don't have a
license to go there anymore. There'll be times that they
serve sup beside happy mails.

Speaker 3 (02:33:47):
I know it's right by my house.

Speaker 2 (02:33:49):
I've got one right by my house that I have
so many great memories at a McDonald's. And sometimes I'll
drive and I'll.

Speaker 3 (02:33:54):
Hear it over there. Birds, Come on, man, where you've been?
You remember us? Finding what you smell? Thank us? The
number four? Oh that looks good. Huh. I think you're
right top of the hour.

Burgess Show dot Com. Yesterday's Wednesday Bible Study archive is available.
If Greg is okay with you, going to get it
and you can catch that on the YouTube channel or

But when Daniel was seeing it, Gregor had not happened yet.
I get that, okay, So anyway, catch that if you
so desire. Listen to this. We just finished last hour
talking about shake Shack, which also has burgers. Somebody just
asked me, does Birge does Rick think that the Oyster
House only has oysters for a while?

Speaker 3 (02:35:42):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (02:35:43):
All right, so all right, so I'll tell you one thing.
But anyway, so listen to this and this this is
you talk about a double thumbs down. I got a
mushroom burger at shake Shack, not knowing that it was
a literal mushroom.

Speaker 3 (02:35:57):
Are you talking about the portobellum? Yes, I use that
instead of me.

Speaker 2 (02:36:00):
Yes, and it was it was like ten bucks.

Speaker 3 (02:36:03):
And I'm not going to say what he said after.
I don't those people that replace Hamburger meet with a
big junt small mushrooms you do them up, you know,
with little peppers, And no I don't. I don't want
some giant new or Portabella can stay wherever it came from.
I did not like those big, old, thick mushrooms.

Speaker 2 (02:36:24):
No, I like the little ones that But can you
imagine im mad you would because he probably thought it
was a patty with a mushroom on top of it.

Speaker 7 (02:36:32):
Right, That's what I would.

Speaker 3 (02:36:33):
Then you had to drop eleven on it.

Speaker 2 (02:36:35):
That was ten, but after taxes maybe I don't know.
All right, So more confirmation hearings going on with the
Trump administration. And look, we've said this before and I'll
say it again. I got a chance to say yesterday,
had a chance.

Speaker 3 (02:36:49):
To do an interview with the with somebody that works
in the news industry, and we were talking about this. Look,
the Republicans have just got to put the accelerator down.
You just don't listen.

Speaker 2 (02:37:00):
Don't listen to the screaming in the holler. And you
got us to be able to stomach all this, move
these things through. We cannot continue on the road that
we're on, which Marco Rubio is going to stay that
here in a minute. So Pam Bondy uh is now
in the confirmation hearing to become the us A g
uh so uh.

Speaker 3 (02:37:19):
What shall we play to a first out or to
set that up?

Speaker 6 (02:37:22):
Yeah, and just I'll play just twenty seconds of two
A and then to be kind of really breaks down
her role as Attorney General, what she would do, and
the difference between how she would operate in some Democrats
in the past half.

Speaker 7 (02:37:34):
Here is Adam.

Speaker 6 (02:37:35):
Schiff trying to trying to trying to press Pam Bondi
and uh, Pam has a great response to this.

Speaker 3 (02:37:43):
Okay has called for it publicly. You are aware of that,
aren't you.

Speaker 19 (02:37:48):
No one has asked me to investigate, but be worried
about pure right now?

Speaker 3 (02:37:57):
Are aware? Ms Bondy You're robberies.

Speaker 19 (02:38:00):
Are higher than the national questions? That's what I want.

Speaker 3 (02:38:05):
To Wow a little shut up juice for Adam Shift. Yes, yes,
Arbie was mad, Barby was mad about in left field. Yeah,
he is way out there. We all knew that. But
his questioning was bizarre. Well, you said Greg that joke.

Speaker 2 (02:38:22):
You said, there's no doubt there's aliens inside of our government.
Adam Schiff, if he's not an alien the way those
eyes bug and all that.

Speaker 3 (02:38:33):
I mean, he really never seen him blink. The worst
was McConnell because he's his skin suits now actually falling
off of him. Turtle is exposing. All right, so do
we go? Do we go? See? Now to B would
be great, I think, Okay, So to B is not. No,
she's elaborating a little bit more so she goes deeper

(02:38:54):
with Adam.

Speaker 6 (02:38:55):
Yeah, Adam Schiff verse versus Pam Bondy.

Speaker 19 (02:38:59):
Spy the questions from Senator Shiff. I look forward to
working with you and the state of California to do
everything we can to fight violent crime in California. And
you know as well as I that crime is only going.

Speaker 3 (02:39:14):
To go through the roof.

Speaker 19 (02:39:15):
Now after these forest fires. You're going to have looting,
You're gonna have price gouging, You're going to have so
many things that I have dealt with in the state
of Florida. And I am committed to working with California
just as much as I am committed to working with you,
Senator Kennedy. And the tragedy that just took place in Louisiana,
given all the human beings that were murdered in your state,

(02:39:38):
and we have the Super Bowl coming up in less
than three weeks now. I believe, Senator I've been a
little busy, but we've got to ensure if I'm confirmed,
that everyone in this country is safe, and.

Speaker 3 (02:39:49):
I will work with you.

Speaker 19 (02:39:51):
I will work with you, Senator, I will work with
all of you in this country for everything that Senator
Blackburn said. We have got to reduce violent crime, and
we have got to restore integrity to our law enforcement officers.
Donald Trump, we keep saying he won this election by
seventy seven point three million votes in three hundred and

(02:40:12):
twelve electoral votes. Look at the map of California, Senator Shift,
it's bright red the popular vote for a reason. People
want law and order. They want to be safe so
they can go to take their children to school, so
they can go to church. Senator Holly, people want safe streets.
Of course, we care about our economy and what's happening

(02:40:33):
in this world, but if we're not safe, none of
that works.

Speaker 7 (02:40:39):
So there you go, which I appreciate so much.

Speaker 6 (02:40:42):
Like when there's a tragedy in our country, it does,
it shouldn't matter what state it's in. And when there's
corruption in our country. It shouldn't matter what party these
people are for.

Speaker 7 (02:40:51):
Yeah, I hope that's what she does, and I hope
she's confirmed.

Speaker 3 (02:40:54):
There you go, Thank you, alt Adler. Yes, I'm that's
good order in the court.

Speaker 4 (02:41:00):
All right.

Speaker 2 (02:41:01):
So we got Rubio nixt and we're talking about all
of our dependents on China, and it's concerned all of us.

Speaker 3 (02:41:10):
I mean, when you're giving one of your.

Speaker 2 (02:41:13):
Enemies the ability to choke you anytime they want to
on things that you need in everyday life, it's really
not very wise at all. And Rubio is going to
who's Secretary of State nominee.

Speaker 3 (02:41:27):
Rubio is now going to say, the road we're on
what kind of goes back to the you gotta be
able to stomach, you gotta be ab to push through.
We can't stay on this road.

Speaker 2 (02:41:34):
And he says, we cannot stay on the road that
we're currently on, especially involving China.

Speaker 10 (02:41:39):
If we stay on the road we're on right now,
in less than ten years, virtually everything that matters to
us in life will depend on whether China will allow
us to have it or not. Everything from the blood
pressure medicine we take to what movies we get to
watch and everything in between.

Speaker 3 (02:41:53):
We will depend on China.

Speaker 10 (02:41:55):
Ford they have come to dominate the critical mental industry
supplies throughout the world. Everywhere in the world. They've now
established critical mineral rights. Even those who want to see
more electric cars, no matter where you make them, those
batteries are almost entirely dependent on the ability of the
Chinese and the willingness of the Chinese Communist Party to
produce it and export it to you. So if we

(02:42:15):
don't change course, we are going to live in the
world where much of what matters to us on a
daily basis, from our security to our health, will be
dependent on whether the Chinese allows us to have it
or not. That's an unacceptable outcome.

Speaker 2 (02:42:28):
Yeah, and to me, that's pretty much common sense. And again,
while you've got the opportunity and you've got the upper
hand on the votes, the country, the executive office, you
just remember, and we've been through this guys ourselves. Just
because there's people that seem loud and they seem scary,
and they scream and they yell and they have a conniption,

(02:42:51):
the one thing that usually overwhelms them eventually is you
to stay the course and be completely immovable by they're
screaming and they're yelling, and just keep doubling down on
what you know is right. And if you'll do that,
we can change the path wrong. If you're gonna be
testing the air in which way the wind's blowing, we're

(02:43:13):
not going anywhere. So I like the things that we're hearing,
and go ahead and put them through. If you got
the votes, do it all right. We'll be back more
to discuss on the show today and check our website

I turn around and these guys, you know, do something
really nice and give me a gift and I have
not said thank you, and.

Speaker 3 (02:47:03):
So to give do you have it? Uh? Is it?
Is it the one that you had in the box? Yeah,
so they.

Speaker 2 (02:47:09):
They presented me with something. And you know, nobody loves
a shadow box. I love a shadow box.

Speaker 3 (02:47:15):
I love it. And you know I remember that Bubba
love shadow boxes. We talked about a lot. But anyway,
so if you get a shadow box, it fires you up.
And so I meant to.

Speaker 2 (02:47:22):
Tell those guys, the Branch County men of integrity, thank
you for giving me this great look.

Speaker 3 (02:47:28):
At this right there? So uh, it's it's hang on
whoa whoa whoa? Hey? That was getting the look? No, no, no, no,
no Greg, I want to get Greg. Okay in case
of grilling, Greg, emergency break glass? Help me here now
that you there? No, it's not me. Who is it? Guys?

(02:47:54):
This is this is a shadow box that that looked.
It looks like it hasn't put that well. I had
planned on your office the uh show? So what we
we got an apron in there.

Speaker 1 (02:48:09):
We got release the cracking.

Speaker 3 (02:48:14):
This looks like this took a lot. Greg. You're gonna
take a camp house. Help me, Greg? Help me very
kind gift. Well, the need to work on the back
here where they anybody anybody ever had the feeling when
it was a little bit zany is neby ever had
a feeling when you were going down the road you said, hey,
can we turn around?

Speaker 2 (02:48:32):
Uh, you know, maybe maybe I'm just getting Maybe me
wanting to be grateful, Greg was not the best decision.
Right now, How did you do when they gave it
to you?

Speaker 3 (02:48:42):
It was boxed up right because you brought the box.

Speaker 2 (02:48:44):
In, Well, you didn't get to see they know they
I'm just being completely transparent right now.

Speaker 3 (02:48:51):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:48:52):
We had we had a little bit of a PA problem.
So I was in a headset and I had to
quickly shift to which is always extremely convenient if you're
speaking a microphone on a cord that I couldn't get
fully extended because some of it was so stuck back
there with the band since since it was what they
were using. So when this was brought up on the
on the stage, very kind, I went, I went to

(02:49:16):
my right and I was just being thankful. Uh, And
so I didn't see it that much. And then they
quickly put it in a box for the flight home.
Real men, Grilly Oh, it's the event, Okay, I say.

Speaker 3 (02:49:30):
Yeah, gregor are you just now picking up? Of course
that's what it's for. I didn't know if something about
the Rick burd had like gg, why would it say
something about it? I didn't know they made that type
of stuff crabs, Greg. Why would they say the Rick
Burgess show when they've never even heard of us? Where
I was, Oh, I forgot about that? Yeah? Do you
not understand what this is? I was confused. It's a
you don't get it.

Speaker 2 (02:49:50):
I do now, Okay, was thinking, you know, but real
men grill in January. I just got a guy out
there in the freezing code grilly because they have their
vent in January.

Speaker 3 (02:50:01):
They have a tough weather.

Speaker 2 (02:50:02):
Yeah, And it says, in case if grilling emergency, break
the glass and inside there is a craftsman uh basting
brush and there's some tongs and also an apron.

Speaker 3 (02:50:14):
We can't enjoy this, Greg, put it up out there
on your deck. Greg. That about that? So I'm saying,
in case there's an emergency.

Speaker 2 (02:50:23):
Greg, is supposed to be humorous and you're supposed to
put it up, and you put it and.

Speaker 3 (02:50:30):
You can't get to it. It's I mean it is
uh to where it doesn't move. They really they get
plucked it down here through the back. They give a
bunch of them out, or do you get the only one?
It's what the speaker gets.

Speaker 2 (02:50:42):
Okay, cool, probably would have one. No, I was just saying,
you know, I still think I was supposed to.

Speaker 3 (02:50:49):
Get rip by. But if you're to let the ribbi go,
strip was probably good. It was one of those things
where the guy said, this speaker gets a ribbi with
the the table that donated the most money, so I said,
but he never said when that table moved, go with them.
All that was obvious. Hey, the craftsman handle there is
pretty cool. I've never I've never seen. I wondered did

(02:51:12):
they make those? Are craftsmen? Did they actually have I wonder?

Speaker 7 (02:51:15):
It looks like crafts one makes them.

Speaker 2 (02:51:16):
Yeah, I've never seen one that last time. I guaranteed
I've never seen one that heavy duty. That's nice and shod.

Speaker 3 (02:51:23):
A lot of effort and somebody took a lot of
time to put this to I think it looks good.

Speaker 1 (02:51:27):
I like it.

Speaker 3 (02:51:27):
Okay, if if anything that I loved it so much,
i'd take it. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (02:51:33):
I do, and I'm going to I think camp House
would actually be a great place for it would be Yeah,
the barn.

Speaker 3 (02:51:39):
Put in the barn. Okay, put in your foyer.

Speaker 7 (02:51:41):
Sherry says she wants to put in the foyer.

Speaker 2 (02:51:43):
Well, I think everything you need to know right about
I think very nice gesture.

Speaker 3 (02:51:47):
I thank you.

Speaker 2 (02:51:48):
Everything you need to know about that Adler is that
at one time this was actually in my house, because that's.

Speaker 3 (02:51:53):
Where I brought it back to. Okay, got you. It
wasn't hanging though. No, what I'm saying is there was
not a oh I got you. No, No it's not
you know, correct, I got you? Thank you, thank you
Rick the barn that you have the thank I want
to tell the men there, this is a this was

(02:52:15):
this is a great gift. I love it.

Speaker 2 (02:52:16):
And we will put it up at the somewhere at
the farm. And that's where. But I even said that.
They I even looked at me. I said, hey, that'll
be great at the form I.

Speaker 3 (02:52:23):
Think I think the outside in the carport, right where
the grill is. It's kind of sitting over the grill.
I like that. I thought about that too, and and
I would I think I will wear that apron because
it is kind of funny to say. You know, so
you're going to take all this out of the box.
You can't. Oh that's right, I can't do that. You
leave it. It's just display only that shadow box ruise. You
don't know about shadow boxes. You can't open them. What's

(02:52:45):
their clothes? It's like a lack of time, Captain all right,
looking back, A secle email of gratitude would have been
a better movie.

Speaker 5 (02:52:52):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (02:52:53):
I think the Bible study and now this can I
have Hugh Freeze next?

Speaker 1 (02:53:00):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. Sure he played a
little ball, Rick Burgess.

Speaker 3 (02:53:20):
Play a little ball.

Speaker 2 (02:53:21):
All right, here, we're back, thanks for being with us.
Speedy Greg Adler of the Gang all here today and
excited about one week from tomorrow the first Man Church
conference of the year. We got three of those, Birmingham,
Panama City and Atlanta. Speaking in Birmingham. It will be

(02:53:43):
a number of folks. Granger Smith, George Wright, Andy Blanks.
I'll be speaking and I'll sort our next guest coach
Hugh Freeze, head football coach, Auburn University coach.

Speaker 3 (02:53:55):
Welcome to the Rick Burgers Show.

Speaker 8 (02:53:58):
Well, good morning, Rick, It's good to be a friend.

Speaker 3 (02:54:01):
Well, let me tell you something.

Speaker 2 (02:54:02):
We could not be more jacked about next Friday and excited.
Thank you so much. I know that it's crazy right now.
I can't even imagine how hectic.

Speaker 3 (02:54:13):
And nuts it is right now.

Speaker 2 (02:54:16):
Yeah, well listen, if you want to throw in there
on the n I l I think I can get
you on the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 3 (02:54:21):
Feel free go ahead.

Speaker 8 (02:54:24):
That that would mean a lot to someone. I'm quite sure, Rick.

Speaker 3 (02:54:29):
So so let's talk a minute.

Speaker 2 (02:54:32):
I mean, I know you've been covered up with football
and then we may get a little bit of them.
Let's let's get to what's most important, and that's an
opportunity to share your story and uh, the story of
the Gospel with with men. I mean, as you know,
as I even had somebody mentioned this yesterday and I
thought it was a good point, even what you do

(02:54:52):
for a living, you know, as things are changing and
we got a fatherless problem, and then we have the
the dad who's around but he's not engaged. You see
this all the time, the fruit of young men that
are desperately seeking godly men to influence them and uh,
and to have an opportunity to maybe help some guys.

Speaker 3 (02:55:12):
We're just sharing the things that helped us.

Speaker 2 (02:55:14):
So tell me a little bit about the things that
guys can expect next Friday.

Speaker 8 (02:55:20):
Yeah, it's uh, you know, you're you're exactly right. We
were living in today where you know, what does the
real man of faith look like? And the examples, unfortunately
many have have a dwindle or we fail, and and
then what do you do with that? And I'm fortunate

(02:55:42):
to be one this kind of experienced a wide range
of spectrum with my faith that I've followed for many,
many years and for most of my years been very
very consistent in it, but also have the stories to
share of Hey, guys, let me tell you when coach
didn't get it exactly right and and what that looks like,
and what the love of a true father who loves

(02:56:06):
you unconditionally really looks like. And to me, that love
is what most people are searching for, and it comes
with an amount of mercy and grace that is new
each and every day. And we're going through twenty one
days of prayer right now at our church and been

(02:56:26):
fortunate to be blessed at Auburn can get me to
places and I can still get to go to that
in one of the things that Jill and I this
morning we were praying about this event, honestly, that we
could just somehow, may it be God speaking through me

(02:56:47):
exactly what He would want to say to whatever men
are showing up there. But I do know that I
think you will be encouraging and hopefully also inspiring.

Speaker 4 (02:56:57):
That the calling that is on.

Speaker 8 (02:56:59):
Our lives as men of faith is a high calling,
and it comes with some sacrifice and probably some criticism,
and you've got to be okay with that because the
audience of one that we want to please is much much,
much more important than anything here on earth.

Speaker 3 (02:57:15):
Yeah, you touch on that.

Speaker 2 (02:57:17):
I tell men all the time, if God can forgive
me a man is wicked and evil as me, forgiving
you will be no big deal to him. And I
think you do finally have to say goodbye to the people,
for whatever reason, that want to hold your past. Jesus
doesn't hold us against those who repent, but I notice

(02:57:37):
human beings will and they and I know that there's
still people that things I've done, they're never going to
let me forget it. But I'm thankful that, according to scripture,
if I truly repented and left faith in myself and
put my faith in him and begged for his mercy
that he grants it, and then he does forget it.
So I think that there's a great opportunity because a

(02:57:58):
lot of men, the reason why that they haven't made
that decision, Coach, is because they think they're not forgivable.

Speaker 8 (02:58:05):
Well, and that's the that's the lie of the enemy,
and that's where he would like to keep you. If
he can't, if he can't totally destroy you, he sure
would like to deceive you into believing something that's not
accurate of the heavenly Father and.

Speaker 3 (02:58:20):
Men.

Speaker 8 (02:58:21):
The older that I've grown and the things that I've
gone through, the clear the picture comes to me of
what his character really is. And yes he's a just God,
and yes he's a holy God, and he calls us
to be the same, all the while knowing that I
will never measure up this side of heaven. And thus

(02:58:42):
the amazing sacrifice of his son that makes me worthy
and makes you worthy of the grace and anyone else
who calls upon that. And certainly there's a calling on
us to live different than to change and to repent
when we do up. And we do have things that
are that are strongholds in our lives that are not honoring,

(02:59:06):
but this side of heaven, I don't know that we'll
ever experience the total sanctification of all of that, but
I sure would like to try. And that's the journey
that we're all on together. And it's okay not to
be totally fixed. He doesn't expect that, and you never
will be, and so what we look forward to sharing

(02:59:27):
about that. I know you will and I will, and
everyone's speaking.

Speaker 2 (02:59:30):
Yeah, it's interesting. I just talked to somebody the other
day and I said, look, I'm justified. I know that
I'm being sanctified, but I'm not yet glorified, so I
don't do everything perfect. So if I handled this imperfectly,
I asked that you forget me, because yes, I'm justified,
Yes I'm being sanctified, but to your point, I'm not
glorified yet. Jesus makes me fully righteous standing before the

(02:59:55):
one and only living God because the one and only
living God demands perfection, and our perfection is in Jesus.
But until we're glorified and still have this body on us,
sanctification is wrestling match, and.

Speaker 8 (03:00:07):
As a daily wrestling match, and one that requires some
uh to to have even a fighting chance to make
it through this day in a way that was that
was totally pleased in take some great disciplines and accountability
with with people in your life and surrounding yourself with
those those type of men is vital. And I've got

(03:00:29):
two right now that are you know, we're going through
that twenty one days of prayer, like I said, and
my pastor and one other guy. It's really easy for
me to lay in the bed and maybe just do
it online this morning, but we're we're holding each other
accountable to show up and set by each other at.

Speaker 4 (03:00:45):
It and it takes that.

Speaker 8 (03:00:47):
It's it's a journey, and but yeah, we're the greatest
thing is that we are totally justified for those of
us that are.

Speaker 4 (03:00:56):
In the faith.

Speaker 8 (03:00:57):
And man, that's something to get up been rejoice every
morning about.

Speaker 2 (03:01:01):
Hey man, one more thing. I'll let you go so
and just tie this to football for just a minute,
do you. And this was the conversation, the conversation I
had yesterday about even like you men of faith, in
those like you know that that are in these positions.
There was a time that if you went into a sport,
your coach became either the second most influential man in

(03:01:23):
your life if you.

Speaker 3 (03:01:24):
Had a father that was engaged. But if you don't
the number one most influential man in your life, but
there was a time you stayed in a program and
that guy could help turn you into a man. You know.
I remember saying, even with my own sons, this is
the closest thing I have to the military. If I'm
not do military, I want them to get involved in sport.

(03:01:45):
And of course it was football because of the impact
it can have on their lives. How do you still
have that influence when these players now are allowed to
come and go and never stay. Do you just say
I got to make my moment with them count?

Speaker 4 (03:02:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (03:02:00):
First, I really struggle with that rick with this new world,
and I'll just say, you first hire a staff that
believes in the same core values that you do and
that will have the same message that you do. And
then secondly, you have to and I think this is
vital in life, and in my situation that you're mentioning
right now is those circumstances I have zero control over.

(03:02:23):
And I had to finally give that up and say, God,
you're bigger than circumstances. You're bigger than the transfer portal.

Speaker 4 (03:02:31):
You're bigger, and you.

Speaker 8 (03:02:33):
Know the one hundred and whatever men that you want
to put under me for this given year, this given time,
and maybe just this given semester in the world we
live in. But you know who they are and you
know what they need, and just maybe I be found
faithful in being a transformative, faithful coach in that season

(03:02:56):
and not worry about the circumstances of what the new
world brings, of who I'm gonna lose after the semester.
And I really really had to give that fight up
because it was stealing my joy.

Speaker 3 (03:03:08):
Yeah, I saw it on your face. You could tell
at first you were like, look, this environment is just
and I'm glad you let that go. Control what you
can control and adapt to what you can't control, and
make the moments that you have count well.

Speaker 2 (03:03:21):
Coach, I know you busy. Thanks for taking time to
be with us and on behalf of all of us
involved with the Man Church and that ministry. We know
you're pulled in a thousand directions and we're honored that
you would agree to be with us next weekend.

any punches.

Speaker 2 (03:03:51):
He's very transparent and all of us man, the good,
the bad, the ugly, and if you want to hear
his story and how they're his hope and Jesus and
there's always hope for reconciliation. Be with us next weekend
in Birmingham, Alabama. Get your tickets at Themanchurch dot com.

segment this hour. Again, our thanks to toach, you Freeze
for taking time to be with us and to be
part of the Man Church conference next week.

Speaker 3 (03:04:48):
I thought so, I thought they were good.

Speaker 2 (03:04:50):
Yeah, you know, it's one of those things where you know,
you've got to coaches out there getting after it's it's
a busy time of years, gonna be on cell phone,
you know, you know, everybody pulling on him, trying not
to be annoying. Uh, you know, just uh and so
hopefully he can talk and then good signal.

Speaker 3 (03:05:09):
You know, you could hear.

Speaker 2 (03:05:09):
You could tell he was being moved around a little bit,
and that the call getting out the car handled it fine.

Speaker 3 (03:05:15):
He did. He is a pro.

Speaker 2 (03:05:16):
Yeah, And I thought I showed a lot of self control,
not getting too immersed in and playing a little ball,
you know, talking to the busy times, I mean talking
XS and those booking him. He's on the road a
lot right now because this is they all are. This
is a busy time for right now. And I want

(03:05:38):
Thank you for taking what was a conversation about the
gospel and turning it into a rivalry. But anyway, so
uh yeah, right, pretty much that the whole conversations was
about Jesus. Uh So, so anyway, uh yeah, and looking
forward to that next weekend too. So a couple of
things we haven't hit. And I think, now, let's see

(03:05:58):
we have I think as far as Birmingham, we've interviewed
the people that we had lined up, because we had
Granger Smith and Hugh Frees and then I know for
Panama City, Dean and Sarah's coming on right and then
we've got Jeff Struker for Atlanta.

Speaker 3 (03:06:14):
Right as we yeah, so I'm looking forward to that.

Speaker 2 (03:06:17):
Yeah so so all right, a couple of things we
haven't hit speaking of football, little ball. Speaking of football,
hadn't hurt my foot? I gonna bro uh speaking of
ball under armor. Now we've got the national championship. I wish,
I wish all four of us would care about this more.
These are two historic programs. We finally got a twelve

(03:06:37):
team playoff. And why aren't we more excited?

Speaker 3 (03:06:42):
I said we? And I know Notre Dame fans are
I know, I know Ohio State fans are. I blame
Pollock just a little bit because he said we don't
want this match up the way Notre Dame plays defense
in Auburn, I mean, and the other states specialty that
it doesn't match up with. Well, no, that's Notre Dame's
playing great defense. They say they play more man to

(03:07:04):
man and the receivers for Ohio State. And by the way,
I don't know, but surely surely they watched film.

Speaker 2 (03:07:11):
Because if I'm Notre Dame and I watch Oregon get
to get destroyed trying to play man de man against
Ohio State's receivers, I'm not gonna do that. I don't
care if that is my thing, I'm gonna have to
do something else.

Speaker 3 (03:07:25):
Notre Dame keeps surprising me though, so maybe they they're
going to keep on.

Speaker 6 (03:07:28):
Yeah, but Jeremiah Love has anything to say about it,
My goodness.

Speaker 3 (03:07:31):
Notre Dame running back.

Speaker 6 (03:07:33):
He's the one that had this incredible effort against Penn
State to score this touchdown here with a.

Speaker 7 (03:07:39):
Knee breaks on one, two, three, four five.

Speaker 4 (03:07:42):
I think.

Speaker 3 (03:07:44):
I hate that.

Speaker 2 (03:07:45):
He's nine hundred percent. Yeah, he keeps that injury keeps
bothering him. But boy, when he gets loose, he gets loose.

Speaker 6 (03:07:50):
He had that insane hurdle during that play as well
during that game as well.

Speaker 3 (03:07:55):
Yeah, their good job, buddy, Yeah that was that was
just what I do. You You just do not like
Ohio State? So are you not for Notre Dame? Yes?

Speaker 7 (03:08:04):
Okay, Monday six thirty.

Speaker 3 (03:08:06):
There it is.

Speaker 2 (03:08:06):
I can't believe I said it. I cannot believe I said.
I may even dress his leprecron, but.

Speaker 7 (03:08:12):
I will already be dressing.

Speaker 3 (03:08:14):
What is my deal with Ohio State? I can't stand them.
When I was a kid, I kind of liked them,
That's right, because I was from Michigan and you were
for a House State. Yeah, but I'm not. This was
against but I'm not. This was the David Pearson Richard
Petty thing exactly. We always did that. Larry Bird, Magic Johnson. Right,
how did you like Larry Bird? I love the Celtics.
You was a big Magic Johnson Lakers fan. Let's pay showtime,

(03:08:36):
Richard Petty, David Pearson, we argued over that.

Speaker 2 (03:08:38):
Yeah, Petty, clearly cool a car. Yeah, and I'll give
you that, all right. So here's under armour. They've got
a golden cleat for Notre Dame.

Speaker 3 (03:08:47):
Yeah, and the championship. Look at that. Oh it's a
good look at you. How do you like that speed?
I don't like your reaction change? Oh before? Yeah? I mean,
well don't they now? These teams change all the time.
They do. That's just more more of a fan saying that.

Speaker 2 (03:09:05):
Yeah, hey, I will say this to and I never
have checked in with Penn State fans were y'all okay
with them putting the numbers on the white helmets.

Speaker 3 (03:09:14):
And striple the bands. I get mad about that. It
didn't work that they alternated. It wouldn't their go to
They didn't step, but it didn't. It looked good.

Speaker 2 (03:09:21):
But I know I'm not talking about it. Looked I
thought it too, but you're not. People get upset about
that kind of stuff. I was wondering if they did,
and then.

Speaker 3 (03:09:28):
I think, I think so Texter brings this up both
fan bases. I mean, they're all about their team, but
are there a lot of people outside their programs that
just root for them or is it just because you
have some teams where you go, Hey, they can bring
in outside fans and sure they're rooting for them. But
for these two, I don't know too many that root

(03:09:49):
for them if they're if they're not part of the
team that they're iconic, though they are, I think there's
probably Notre Dame people then they're not from South Bend. Yeah,
a lot of them jail let's see and wish as
they were them. But you guys get to make a point.

Speaker 2 (03:10:03):
I don't know that I've ever seen an Ohio State
fan that had no connection to a house.

Speaker 3 (03:10:07):
Yeah, I mean as far as that part of the country.

Speaker 2 (03:10:10):
Yeah, there's some guy you know that's in Panama sitting
He's like, I'm a big oldho State fan.

Speaker 3 (03:10:14):
You just don't see that, dude, Right, How does wish
Rudy had some eligibility left. Greg.

Speaker 2 (03:10:19):
I know you've got small kids and everything's a week night.
Probably not possible. Any shot.

Speaker 3 (03:10:23):
I get you to dress up as a leprechaun and
come over and watch a game.

Speaker 6 (03:10:26):
Watch the game with you as a least a leprechaun.

Speaker 2 (03:10:31):
I need you in that leprequn outfit. When you do
that leprechaunt thing, you do those fists, Yeah, I feel
it's absolutely hilarious.
