Welcome into the kickoff hour for this best of Ricking
Bubba's show. I am Speedy, your host, and thank you
so much for being with us. As always, we thank you.
We celebrate thirty one years of Rick and Bubba's and

Speaker 5 (00:41):
Rick.

Speaker 6 (00:41):
Construction of a new high school has unearthed more than
what was expected. At least eleven unmarked graves have been
discovered in the ground at the side of the new
Brentwood High School. Now a family is searching for answers
about their heritage and their long lost relay is finally found.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Wow, so this was going to be the new high school.

Speaker 6 (01:06):
James Hazard Wilson was worth millions. Wilson Pick in Brentwood
was named after him. But a long time ago another
man bought his property, knocked down the tombstones in a
family graveyard, and built a house on top of it.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
What damn movie about this? Now?

Speaker 6 (01:28):
Archaeologist and the Wilson family are trying to piece together
their past. Broken headstones and a small orange flag marks
the graves of lost relatives that until now were only
a family legend to Jimmy Wilson. In fact, it matches
up with the diagram in the Family Bible, a diagram
that led archaeologists to a broken down farmhouse, A farmhouse

(01:51):
that uncovered a Wilson family mystery. For sixteen hours, a
team of archaeologists uncovered and marked fourteen graves that have
been sitting under an old farmhouse for more than fifteen years,
including Wilson Poke's namesake, James Hazard Wilson, the second. Now,
the future of this newly discovered cemetery is in the

(02:13):
hands of the city of Brentwood. They will be building
a high school there, but archaeologist and the Wilson family
are working to preserve and decide how to incorporate the
graveyard into the new school campus.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
That'll be tough.

Speaker 6 (02:29):
Jimmy Wilson is also working to get the new high
school named Ravenwood, after one of his great great grandfather's
first homes.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Oh, I know, I guess the Dixie Chicks will do
the ribbon cudding.

Speaker 7 (02:46):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (02:47):
Call me superstitious, call me nuts, but I've seen enough
about this and know you don't put a high school
over a bunch of grave y'all are you gonna do?
Put it out there in the middle that the quad,
You're gonna be a bunch of team stones that rack?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Can you not find them another resting place? Can you
move them?

Speaker 5 (03:06):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Bobby, you don't move? You move, you disturb baby? You
on POSTR grass? That is I wonder how I mean,
how did this guy?

Speaker 6 (03:15):
I mean, back years ago, wasn't there enough land around
that they could have built a farmhouse somewhere else? I mean,
now understand it's crowded, but back a few generations ago,
how did I mean?

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Come on?

Speaker 7 (03:28):
Was that guy?

Speaker 3 (03:29):
Did I mean the Benet the Dixie Chicks cut that ribbon? Wow?
Knock knock knocking at my chamber door.

Speaker 8 (03:43):
Where do you go to high school? I go to Ravenwood.
You play them on a Friday night and Halloween, baby,
and good luck in that game.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
You know, I know this is kind of crazy, and
I you know, I don't know, but if I go
to uh a hohschool that's in Brentwood, what's wrong with
the name Brentwood High School.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
I know that's kind of a step out on me,
but do we have homework tonight? Everyone at Ravenwood has homework?

Speaker 9 (04:16):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (04:20):
What if somebody's like buried under your homeroom class? It's
not good. It is not good. You think the teacher's
face won't just melt off her bombs at in front
of unless it meant as a student.

Speaker 6 (04:30):
At one time or another, we all thought they was
somebody buried under our mm hmm, Wow, y'all can you
just do that.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Kids today? I'm afraid I've got a pop quiz. Who's buried?
Unto Miss Wilson's class? Little Mary Jane? You know who's
buried under your desk?

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Don't you?

Speaker 3 (04:56):
But you have to, you have to go back. What
was this other guy thinking here? I mean that's the
one that just said let me clip down in two
stones you had a realty sign up? Yeah, miney Money
Money was talking to him. Well, somebody needs to get
him for a step out.

Speaker 6 (05:10):
Wow, that is a step out. Can you have a
step out in the afterworld? I mean that's a you
know what this is proof of?

Speaker 3 (05:16):
When you're buying anything, you better ask all the questions baby,
you do realize.

Speaker 6 (05:20):
And I when I when we bought our house, I asked,
you can ask if if the house is allegedly haunted
stories ago, and they have to tell It's a law
they have to tell you if you ask. They don't
have to volunteer ghost information, but if you ask, they
have to tell you.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Speedy wish to he to ask. That place you had
up in gats In, Alabama, that rental thing was as
haunted as a day as long. Oh yeah, see somebody
looking at my window every night. I'll settle we of
an old lady was speedy.

Speaker 6 (05:53):

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Thank you for being with her.

Speaker 6 (11:10):
Do you realize that you can't tickle yourself, even someone
as ticklish as you are?

Speaker 3 (11:14):
And as you head into the office right now, I
know a lot of you.

Speaker 6 (11:16):
I have I thought to all the time to say,
I listened to the parking lot right before I walk
in at nine. Let's try this today an article again.
This is from the Birmingham News this morning. As we
were looking it over. Why is it so hard, Bubba,
for you to tickle yourself? You down, You've got a
coffee right there, check it out. Rick, let me because
you're very ticklish. I mean, you're one of the most
ticklish people. Matter of fact, Betty, tickle bubb.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
A little bit. No, don't do it. Okay, but that's enough.
But the point I just want to prove point.

Speaker 6 (11:46):
You're very ticklish, saund very tick For some reason. In
this jersey, I'm more ticklish. I don't know what I
try to tickle your saying. You don't like this jersey
for some ree, No, I do like Jerry Rice forty
nine ers Roadwide. No, I love that jersey. I'm just
saying in line, Well, I said, it's not as good
as the others you have. All right, Look, try to
tickle yourself and you feel nothing.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Say I don't feel anything.

Speaker 6 (12:11):
I mean taking yourself good and hart No, what do
you do with all that? Stop it, Bobba, because.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
I'm trying to get to that. I'm afraid of being tickled.

Speaker 6 (12:20):
You know why, because when you're tickling yourself right then
according to this date winter, according to this article, no
more tickling.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
I'm calling it off. No more tickling. Use because it
says that one bin, I'm out of control today. Don't
forget that.

Speaker 6 (12:34):
One part of the brain tells the other part, Hey,
it's just you don't get excited.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah, isn't that neat to kill joy? Rick is a cerebellum.

Speaker 6 (12:42):
I want ahead and took that because you very much
found in the lower back of the brain. Researchers suggests
the brain is already known to predict what a person
will feel when his or her body.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Does something that can't be all bad.

Speaker 6 (12:57):
Yes, that way, it can ignor expected sensations like the
pressures on the sole of the feet while walking, and
save its intention or its attention for more important things
like the feeling of a foot bumping a stone.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
My feet hurt when I walk, Well, I start saying
I feel the pressure when I Prior studies implicated the cerebellum.
Did I say right?

Speaker 6 (13:17):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Cerebellum cerebella. You sure that's right? Yes, cerebellum.

Speaker 6 (13:21):
Are we making that up and telling the brain what
to expect from the body's on movements.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
So basically this is saying you can't tick your s
up because your brain won't let you. Is that what
I'm hearing?

Speaker 7 (13:33):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (13:33):
The study on self tickling was reported in the November
issue of the journal Natural Neuroscience by researchers including pH
d student Sarah Jane Blakemore at the University College London.
All Right, let me ask you this, okay, based on
this information, how come when you thump yourself it hurts? Well,
tickling yourself is something else. That's you know what happens

(13:57):
when you tickle yourself? Really your brain, your brain is
kind of laughing because it's been caught off guard.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
That is what a tickle is. It was, it's not
it can't.

Speaker 6 (14:08):
Hey, Cliff, let me think how to I saw, Cliff,
I saw this on tel c My kids, my kids
free when they when I'm putting them to bed, they
know they're gonna get tickled, right and they're ready for it,
but they still it still tickles them.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
There's something about they're not because they're not tickling myself.

Speaker 6 (14:27):
With the sensation that you feel when you are tickled,
your body cannot remember that feeling, you know what I'm
talking about. It can't program itself to go, Hey, I'm
fixing the b tickle, So no big deal. But if
it's sending the signal and receiving it, it you know,
create Well okay, I think I've made that very clear.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yeah, that's clear, as clear as muddy water. Touch your
lower belly.

Speaker 6 (14:50):
But now this is what This is a strange one.
And we've investigated this on the show before I tell
you why you start that.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
Again, Get your hand out of here, gracious.

Speaker 6 (15:02):
Quick man, I'm about to past us out this this
this see, I think this goes well, this goes well
with our with our study.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
I'm sticking your finger in your belly button. It's a sight.
If you're in traffic right now and you're not moving
too fast, and you can do it just simply easy.
But stick your finger in your belly button and you
freaming around round, I mean the top of your head
about come off, you know, and try to tickle yourself
and see if it's possible. I think I can tickle myself,
I really do. If I if I play with my ribs.

Speaker 6 (15:37):
I'm not that we're all scratching like a bunch of
monkeys at the zoo in here and nobody's last is.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Your is your feet ticklings? Oh? Yes, okay, right there
I got Is that?

Speaker 7 (15:48):
Really?

Speaker 3 (15:49):
There you were and tickling? But he's a real tickless.
If I do, I might pop you. See you say
you are both pretty ticklish and the rear berrier? Yes,
what you let me come around tickle.

Speaker 6 (16:02):
Now I'm taking this because I'm thinking about it, but
but it ain't Some days I'm not as much as I.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Think you're taking. Today's a big tickla day for me.
But but sometimes I can beat it. Mainly let's see
if Don wants to me down one frat boy bring
them in here? But like, are you ticklish under your neck?
When somebody does that? That drives me crazy? The worst,
the absolute worst is under my arms.

Speaker 6 (16:25):
Come here, and Hunter ain't so funny even he's little
and he doesn't know anything. And you take you start
counting them ribs and he will just start scrambing.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
Are you ticklish down one?

Speaker 5 (16:37):
Well?

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Not really? But can you tickle yourself? Try to yourself?

Speaker 6 (16:44):
But saying it can't be done in the study says
you can't tickle yourself.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Speed to get a hold of the real good and
wear a.

Speaker 6 (16:51):
Att Is that.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
Is that ticklish? It says you can't take yourself. Says
it can't be done. Well, I think it's true because
I can't take them myself.

Speaker 6 (17:04):
You can't do it with someone volunteers.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
But look, it's the same deal. You know, tickle should
be tickle. I know you would think if if if
somebody grabbing you, that's not an error of tickles you
at the doctor? I know what you Oh, Rick, please
get Erica a sticker, a finger and a belly button. Yeah,

(17:31):
have you ever done that today?

Speaker 7 (17:32):
Are you?

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Is your belly button? Says I don't know. You can't
do it through your shuret Erica, I don't like doing that.

Speaker 6 (17:41):
I don't like I don't everybody on Eric, Eric, can
we see that one more time? I mean, just for science,
let's for.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Those girls that have their belly buttons pierced. It's a
little bit more sensitive.

Speaker 6 (17:55):
Sure, I would think so, I would think so, I mean,
stick your finger in your belly button.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Don't want My mind drives I about pass out. I can't.

Speaker 6 (18:05):

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Ricking Bubba, Ricking Bubba.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
Hey, Rick here.

Speaker 6 (19:08):
I hope you're enjoying the best of Rick and Bubba's.
We're celebrating thirty one years of radio gold.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
But don't forget.

Speaker 6 (19:14):
On January the sixth, a brand new era begins The
Rick Burgess Show. Speedy, Greg and Adler would join me.
Get all the details right now at Rick burgesshow dot com.
If you were Burgess, you know my grandmother, my memall
would take you down to the river. First of all,
she tell you off the pier, teach you how to swim, sure,
and then you got out there and you learned to ski.

(19:35):
I mean there was no no way around it. So
we all grew up learning to ski. Well, it dawned
on me that my children have never been exposed because
unfortunately my grandparents, you know, we lost my granddad and
my grandmother had got where they had, you know, their
age wise could not keep up the place down on
the river, and the rest of us didn't live here
at that time.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
So we don't have it anymore.

Speaker 6 (19:54):
And I thought, my kids have never waterskied, They've never
even been talked to waterski vacation. Sherry's family lives at
Lake Gunnersville. I said, one of the things we will
do is take the kids up there and I'm gonna
work with them and teach them how to ski.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
They on a boat.

Speaker 6 (20:09):
Yeah, her brother's got a boat. They had money, you know,
I married in the money. But the only thing is
our system was we had a place on the Black
Warrior River. We had a pier and everybody swam and
it was shallow enough you could touch the bottom and
you swam and all this and the boat would come
around and it was your turn to ski. You'd swim
out there to put your skis on. Somebody be in
the water with you, somebody in the boat. You'd learn

(20:30):
how to ski. Well, this system, they didn't have that.
It was everybody in the boat. We go out to
you know, one hundred feet of water, and everybody who
skis jumps in and out of the boat, and everybody's
in the boat. So I am trying to think, now,
how am I gonna teach the kids to swant to ski?
And they've never done it before. And I'm gonna see
they were. My kids were shocked at how hard it is,

(20:52):
because you know, their whole lives. Somebody said, get on
the tex key, you know, and you get out there
and you wind up.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
Man, let me drop, you know, and all that. So
you know, first of all, how did it go?

Speaker 6 (21:04):
So you get in the water, you know, you got
to get your your skis pointed up, you got to
get the you know, the rope in between them.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
You used to be got a key belt and you
got that.

Speaker 6 (21:13):
You got it, and you tread and water. So I
think to myself, you know, keep in mind the last
time I skied was twelve to fourteen years ago. But
as you know, with my my my roller skating, you
figured you could still I figure the bait. I feel
like I still got it. So I'm looking around the
boat and Sherry's there and look and Sherry has never
seen me ski, So I can't wait to show scare

(21:35):
Sherry how well I can ski. But I'm having to
be impatient because you know, the kids are trying to
learn and they can't.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
They can't do it.

Speaker 6 (21:44):
And I realize at one point if I'm gonna teach
them to ski, it's gonna be an all day event.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
This is not the time, this is not the place.
So I'll get them all of the water.

Speaker 6 (21:52):
So i'd gotten out there, and I said, so I
just grab a life jacket. Now, the last time I skied,
I've probably weighed two hundred and twenty five, two twenty,
maybe even two fifteen. So I was now way two eighty.
So I said, look at him, me one, did the
poor boat have a chance? What did you take it under?
I said, let me let me have, let me let

(22:13):
me have the let me have that life jacket.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
So I just grab one.

Speaker 6 (22:16):
Now i'm putting it on, I realize it's more of
a fishing jacket instead of a ski jack.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
It's not an official ski jack, but I think it's
good enough. It's good because I'm fine swimmering.

Speaker 6 (22:25):
And I put it on like that, and the skis
are out there floating like that, and I says, and
I go in the water and I dive in and
I come up and I said, God.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Here we go.

Speaker 6 (22:34):
And I said, this is gonna be a great moment
because my kids are gonna see their dad ski. I'm
gonna be jumping waves. I won't be slapping the skis
on the water, you know what I mean. And I
mean it's gonna get sherry wound up that we may
have to get a room, you know what I mean.
You know, because we got the grandparents ere they can
keep the kids, you know. And so so I get
out there in the water. So I'm out there in

(22:56):
the water and I go to put my ski on
in the water while and all of a sudden, just
a little moment of water gets up and I kind.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
Of spit the water out, and I go, that is
one of the worst things.

Speaker 6 (23:08):
Yeah, And I said, this life jacket is is not
holding me like it it really needs to, you know.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
What I mean. So so all of a sudden, I
go go get the and I'm sinking and I go, look.

Speaker 6 (23:21):
Then there's that first just slight panic tread that first
where you hit your hands one time to kind of
hold you up.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
So you know, and you're not you do not want
to panic.

Speaker 14 (23:32):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
You go and the kids are all watching Dad. I
love y'all.

Speaker 6 (23:40):
And about that time, look it goes and it jumps
up on the side of my face, the life jacket, and.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
It starts attempting to dunk me.

Speaker 18 (23:49):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
It gets up on you and it's putting you down.

Speaker 6 (23:53):
You know what I mean, Love you, Daddy like that,
and the share you go, hear it, and so I go,
I give them the signal.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
You go, good idea. Yeah, I gotta get out of water,
you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, like your wrists, yeah,
you know. And the signal.

Speaker 6 (24:09):
Seriously, Sherry said, it appeared that there was a signal
giving from a headless skier, you.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
Know what I mean, because it's up over my head.

Speaker 6 (24:17):
You know, I can't take it, and so the boat,
the boat gives out this horrific Now, keep mind Sherry's brother,
my brother in law, is so excited because he's got
this boat.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
He's worked on it, he's fixed it, he's got it
running like a top. Okay, yeah, how big. I don't
know all that.

Speaker 6 (24:33):
It's in board motor. It was very impressive. It ran
very smooth what it did so so I get back
there and it goes and I mean even the kids faces,
they said where everybody knew the boat wasn't gonna make.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
It a boat pull again, takes water. Well, you know,
it's a big guy. A lot of times.

Speaker 6 (24:57):
We got to stay in the water longer to come
out of the hole is what we call. We used
to call it coming out of the hole. And I'm
now being drug like, like I am chumped in the.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Water, you know what I mean. Can't everything and the
boat can't do it.

Speaker 6 (25:13):
People say they don't know what it was. Something shot
out from the boat into the water, some kind.

Speaker 18 (25:20):
Of mass just.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
There was the ground up interior of the engine. Un
alarm goes off inside the boat and I'm still in
the water.

Speaker 6 (25:36):
So there comes a moment where I go, I need
to just let go or I'm going to drown. You
know when you that little moment you go going to drown, you.

Speaker 10 (25:44):
Know like that.

Speaker 6 (25:45):
So I get and I get almost up, and my
skis are still in the Now my athletic ability is
at least getting me. People say I was technically up
at one point. It didn't last very long out of
the hold. She wasn't not completely out so I and
I let go in the boat, you know, and it's
coming back around now, the wake of the boat, and

(26:10):
it's you know, and my skis have come up a
mall taste a gasolt, and I've got just a little look.
There's gasoline in a heat of oil because something's happening.
It has shot good out in the water from trying
to pull me up, looking and look and then and
then I say, look, you know how you have to
make the call.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
I'm out there, and they said, let's try it again,
but I can't. And I reached to get my ski
and I and I'm gone. I'm gone. I realized I
can't breathe, and look, I said, And all of a sudden,
I grabbed my skis seriously thumb washing.

Speaker 11 (26:44):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
And I started kimming the round up.

Speaker 19 (26:46):
That's it.

Speaker 6 (26:48):
And I'm trying not to scare the kids because their
father is drowning.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
I mean, it hit me. I am drowning, you.

Speaker 6 (26:56):
Know, like you know, Chuse, you always hear, you always
hear the story.

Speaker 3 (27:02):

get fatigued, they get tired, right, andy and drowned some fatigue,

Yeah, oh you know.

Speaker 6 (27:28):
And you know you've ever been too eighty. Try to

feet of water.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
It's not that easy. So I panic and I just
start climbing in. I mean, the kids are crying.

Speaker 6 (27:40):
At one point, I hurt. He's saying, grab me, grab you, daddy,

Speaker 17 (28:28):

at the end of the Best of It has just
been such an honor to be a part of something
so great as we look back at thirty one years
of Rick and Bubba history, and it's just something else.
To be honest with you, it's a little overwhelming, to

Rick burgesshow dot com from more info, Let's continue, here's

(31:13):
Mickey Dean.

Speaker 11 (31:13):
I don't know y'all probably know that I've had quite
a few occupations. Yes, construction works, sales. Everybody wanted to
make a salesman out of it.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
Thought might be a comedian one time.

Speaker 11 (31:24):
Yeah, comedian one time. The very good job I had
one time, though it was a insurance debit, Liberty National Insurance,
one of the best jobs I had. I'm not going
to run them down at all. I've still got some
of their stock. I worked out of the best my
office and like say hello everybody down there and work
for one of the sweetest, kindest, nicest, smartest gentleman Larry

(31:47):
Robinson treated me.

Speaker 6 (31:48):
If you applied for another job at Liberty National by chimp, no.

Speaker 11 (31:51):
But I would not hesitate to go back to work
for them. That's my ace in the hole to have
you question what if something were to happen to me,
and I couldn't stand up anymore.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
You did, now, sit down? Comedia. No, Teddy Pendergrass did it.

Speaker 11 (32:05):
Yeah, but he's at Haleville with quiet right.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
Anyway.

Speaker 11 (32:13):
I worked there for about two years and then decided
for some reason to get back into construction business, which
led me to comedy. So you can't ever look back.
But it was just so much fun. We had fridays off.
You can imagine coming out of the construction business where
we worked like seventeen's and then all of a sudden,
one day they say, okay, we got Fridays off, and
on Monday you probably don't not going to do a

(32:34):
whole lot either, So it's Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Couldn't even
start collecting on a debit till after ten o'clock.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
Come on, yeah, right to.

Speaker 11 (32:42):
Wait on people to get up, get the kids off
school and everything. My debit was happened to be in Brighton.
I love the people over in bright and everybody said,
I can't believe you collected insurance after dark and bright
And let me tell you something. I was never messed with.
I was never treated with anything but kindness. They don't
bother the policy man. Okay, Well, every now and then

(33:02):
two agents would ride together. Maybe one's debit was caught up,
and you get tired of being by yourself, and you'd
go try to sell a little insurance together. He's a
Hoover policeman now, but his name was Tim Manzella, and
he was a big old boy from around best Mare
area down there. And we go ride together, and I
had a little Toyota pick up. We start down the alley. Now,
I had a best maer. You come out of the

(33:24):
Liberty National, you come down the alley and right there
on the corner is the funeral home, Brown Service funeral Home.
Many people know where. There is rushing on Fourth Avenue.
As we're turning out the alley, there's a dumpster there
and there's a brand new, brand new looking metal gray
casket with the handles, the rails, just like you see
in about ninety percent of your funeral. You get the
gray or the bronze, the gray. And I stopped and

(33:47):
I said, they're throwing away a perfectly brand new casket. Now, Minki, yeah,
And Tim said, wonder what that's all about. So I
knew the guy. We knew the guy that owned the
funeral home and I went in the back door there
and I said, what's deal with the casket? He said,
well't when the ship a body in one, we can't.
We can't resell it, or you can't be buried in
it or something like that. It's a law if it
comes from out of state, you have to change containers.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
So you just throw it away.

Speaker 11 (34:11):
So you just throw it away, I guess anyway. I said, well,
can we have it? He said yeah, if you want, Micky.
So I walked down there and I said, Tim, throw that.
He's a big old boy. Let's throw that cast it
up back truck. He said, what are you gonna do
with it? I said, I don't know, but we'll have
some fun with it sometime during the day. So we're
collected in bra Now. I got a gray metal casket,

(34:32):
full size in the back of my Toyota pick up
with the tailgate down because it's too long to I
had to have a tailgate dwn. Tim kept saying, what
are we gonna do?

Speaker 3 (34:40):
Cast any people would.

Speaker 11 (34:41):
Look at it and every think, you know. So there's
right across from a fire hall. There was a lady
that I dearly loved that had about miss Pinky. I
guess she was probably about seventy or seventy five years old. Now,
the reason I called her miss Pinky is because when
the guy that collected the insurance before you goes around
and shows you all these people, what he calls them

(35:04):
is what you're now gonna. I got you, and I
asked him one. I said, why, miss Pinky. He said,
the house is pink, and it was bright pink. And
so I just started calling Miss Pinky too, and I'd
bring your stuff at Christmas time. Now, Miss Pinky was
in this situation. She probably had four or five kids,
but they wasn't around anymore. But they left their kids,
so she's now raising probably seven or eight grandkids. Okay,

(35:27):
might have had a kid of hers throat around in there.
But it's a big old house, a big old front porch,
old old house there in Brighton on the old car line,
Miss Pinky, Miss Pinky.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
I pulled up.

Speaker 11 (35:37):
I said, I got it to him. Just stay with me,
just stay beside me and follow my lead. He said, okay.
Now he was dressed in a black suit black tie.
They man died to wear suit and tie. So I
get out and I part purposely part right in the
driveway where she can see the casket sitting in the truck.
I walked up, knocked on the door, like I'd done

(35:58):
so many times.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
To collect you, and this was gonna get you.

Speaker 11 (36:01):
Rehired seventy five cents for well, I think that's why
they liked me. Seventy five cents for you know, for
a month worth the insurance. That's what we collected. Anyway,
I walked up there and I knocked on the door,
and she came door, had her apron on, you know,
sweet lady, probably about seventy five years old. Miss Pinky,
How you doing me? I said, I'm doing fine. Once
you meet mister Manzela. He's from the home office, you know,

(36:22):
up there with a woman with the building holding the
torch up. It's liberty bit. Oh yeah, I know that's
where their money went.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
Say they knew that.

Speaker 11 (36:29):
So I said, Miss Pinky, have you got a paid
up Baryl policy? She said, you know I do, been
paid up for years. Looking at book, you got it,
big old thick book. I said, I know you got it.
Do you have that metal casket supplement? Did you get
that too? And she said, got that paid that off?

(36:50):
I said, well, we got a big old book down
there to that office, and that's why mister Manzella is here.
We looked in the big old book and you were
supposed to passed away last Tuesday. We got your casket ready,
it's here. You didn't die, so we don't know what
to do with it. You need to take charge of

(37:11):
it because you can imagine how many caskets we have
and being insurance coming in and if you got to
die on time, you mess everything up. We don't have
a big enough wear hab keep these things for you.
And she kind of glad. I've kind of pointed to
the driveway and she leaned out and she said, Lord, God,
you did bring me my casket, didn't you. And it's

(37:34):
pretty and she walked the edge of porch looked at it.
Then she comes back to the door, opens those screen
door and hollers in the back ray Ray, Ray, Ray,
You and Johnny come in, and about a kid about seventeen,
probably a grandkid, and another about fourteen came running around
the corner.

Speaker 17 (37:52):
Of the house.

Speaker 11 (37:53):
She said, get my casket out of Misty Than's truck.
So they went over and got a hold of it.
Are to slide it out and he said, be Mama,
what do you want me to do with the casket?
She said, slide it under the house. Mister Dean said,
I didn't been dead for a week.

Speaker 4 (38:14):
Oh, Mickey Dean, such a treasure man. Miss him, but
he was a funny man and no one could tell
a story quite like him. That'll wrap this hour up.
Don't go anywhere, though, we got a lot more of
the best of Ricking Bubba Show.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
Ricking Bubba, Ricking Bubba, Ringing mother, Fricking Bubba.

Speaker 4 (38:41):
Hi, welcome to the Rick and Bubba Show. It is
a best of I'm your host, Speedy. Let's start this
hour with our national anthem as.

Speaker 19 (39:07):
Special time, so st ST st S.

Speaker 4 (40:08):
Seven minutes past the hour, we start a brand new
hour together on the best of Rick and Bubba Show.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
Thank you so much for thirty one years of Rick
and Bubba history.

Speaker 4 (40:18):
Don't forget the Rick Burge's Show debuts on Monday, January
the sixth.

Speaker 6 (40:24):
I don't like snakes in any way, shape, form, or fashion,
and we had announced that here on the show before. No,
I mean, I mean, you don't understand. I go into
like a hypnotized killer mode that I cannot be in
the area with a snake, not a green one, not

(40:44):
a giant one, not a non poisonous, not a friendly,
not one that eats other snakes. I can't be around snakes.
I mean I just go berserk. And Rick has seen
this happen. Yeah, and I really didn't realize that I
had it so bad. We talked about it on the air,
and I don't know why when we when we were

(41:05):
Center Alabama. Every time we go there, but the people
bring they bring out their animals put there, and we've
had cougars, We've had all kinds of things. So we're
standing in this giant parking lot and we're having remote
we're meeting people and there's a line. We're shaking hands
and signing pictures, and this lady comes up and she's
got like a bag, and I mean she could have
been shopping.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
Far as I know, but we're standing there.

Speaker 6 (41:30):
We are standing there meeting people, and she says, I
just thought i'd bring my pet and show you, and
whoops a snake out and sticks it in my face.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
The next thing I remember, brother, Rick, do.

Speaker 6 (41:42):
You even because it blur is is I appear to
be in a position like kung Fu And there's a
lady laying on the ground and she's crying over her
dead snake. And Rick's eyes are biggest soft bud. And
I said, Rick, what just happened to me? And he said,

(42:06):
you jumped into the air with all the grace of
Bruce Lee, and you kicked her right in the chest,
you know, and she went flying, two flips over, and
almost in a continual motion, you picked that snake up
by the head and begin to beat it on the pavement,
and about the fifth blow, the head came off of
it and you let it go. And then I assumed

(42:29):
the position again defensively, Rick, Rick Azley, you know, it's
not every day. It just doesn't happen much for your partner,
Bubba of Rick and Baba to kick your listener in
the chest.

Speaker 3 (42:41):
You know, it just doesn't happen much.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
You know.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
I'm not saying anyone ever happened again, but I'm just saying, and.

Speaker 6 (42:48):
He took that snake. You ever seen somebody just get
a hose pipe and just beat the fool out of it?

Speaker 3 (42:52):
You're for real?

Speaker 6 (42:53):
This happened, yes, And I don't remember any of it
other than coming to and her holding her head where
she hit the pavement, crying with that piece of snake
laying in front of it. Now here's what's so funny
about it, now, put us we lost her to another ship.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
She had a kid with her, right, I don't did
she have a kid?

Speaker 6 (43:09):
And the kids just sitting there and seeing her mom
rolled back, Well, everybody was crossed. Take you know, I
don't know who, which kids belonged to who, but it
upset everybody. And I'm saying, they don't kill a huddle
house remote. You know, by the way, that's where we were. No,
I tell you, no, I tell you where it was.

(43:30):
We went there after that. It was down at that
little strip mall.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
It was down the road. It wasn't rand opening.

Speaker 6 (43:35):
Okay, So I don't remember the animals at the huddle
house too though, Oh yeah, yeah, always when that's when
the cougar and the dingo.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
Were fighting under the right and got hooked in our
remote gear. They kill the snake, killed the snake, and
nearly killed the woman. Now, now do you now remind
me didn't something else happened at that Remind no, that
was the remote that the Sharpei pigs you know, got
worked up a little. Yes, he did started mating right
there on spot. Yeah, yeah, I tell you that that
whole We had two first remote and I was like, well, hey,

of a pickup truck. Little kid freak, A little kid
freaks out. We got a cougar and a dingo fighting
under our remote table. Pigs are mating. The stutterer that

And of course Benny very passionate, compassionate in this case,
laughing at me laying on the floor, but she does
go to get me a pillow to put under my
head until I can get my act together to get
back up. Once, very nice now, and are you screaming
or is this a quiet pain? This is that pain

(54:44):

then I start laughing. So I'm kind of hung in
the middle because you're laid up your underwear in the kitchen.
I mean, you know, yeah, and the floor its wet.
I'm laying in the wet floor. I have just jammed
my toe nail clean up from my to my ankle.
You know know what I mean? If you have time
to think about the fact that, hey, the floor is
wit and I'm gone kiss Okay, I say you did

(55:05):

couldn't go to sleep then because I'm slipping in the
shock head. Put my hand in glove in your bad

Of course, Benny, she helped me get an ice pack,

(55:47):
but on the interest spot. So let me let me
man And oh did I mentioned tailball? It took a
hit to that. Well, you just like those people like
my favorite story when you're standing the Gros stores somebody
runs in the flip flops in the rain.

Speaker 18 (55:58):
Is that you went down?

Speaker 7 (55:59):
It was wor Yeah we won time. Why I couldn't
make a clear fall? I kept banging into stuff on
the way down. All right, let me ask you this,
so let me let me go nuts. You on the
visual okay, going for the night, hug, she's in there,
gotten mopping OYELRD, what I wish you'd have seen me
running in because way, yeah, I'll do that little rain
here France. Everything shaken in the dinner and then I

(56:23):
was laying on my button. My head hurts, so how
many how many times do you estimate that your head
bounced off airs off? I hit three things on the
way to the floor, Okay, then your elbows hit you,
your your butt bone hits and then your knee gets
smashed on the island up the nunny actually rammed the
cabinet because my toes were already jammed and hung under

(56:44):
the cab. If they were visically hung under the cab,
they slid under and that caused my knees to bang
the cab. I got you putting on the me into
toe down, so ye, sord man, I can't hardly.

Speaker 4 (56:55):
Break twenty nine minutes fast the hours of classic stuff.
I'll requests off of the Rick and Bubba best of
and we thank you so much for re requesting these
and enjoying playing them as well. Thank you as always
for your support. Thirty one years of Rick and Bubba history.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
Ricking Bubba, Ricking Bubba.

Speaker 4 (57:37):
Twenty five minutes until top of the hour is.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
The best of Ricking Bubba show. I'm your host, Speedy.

Speaker 4 (57:41):
Thank you so much for tuning in as we look
back at thirty one years of Rick and Bubba history.

Speaker 6 (57:46):
The boys and I went out to a theme park.
So that involved the combination of water slides and amusement
park rides. Oh god, which is in the boy?

Speaker 3 (57:55):
Hot?

Speaker 6 (57:56):
I mean, I mean, I don't know if you've walked
that pavement lately, hot and you know, and they always
want to do the format of water slides first ride, second.
Now now I'm rolling over to the rides and we're
all wet, and but you draw pretty quick out there
and made the mistake even though it was a great day,
had an outstanding day. You know, a lot of times

(58:17):
when you go to theme parks, you know, your goal
of trying to make sure you could go one time
when everything's running, you know, which is it rarely ever happens?
You know, is there anything any worse feeling to go
to a major amusement park theme park? And also you
go and they go, hey, so and so that ride
ain't running. We ain't run, kids like why they ride
it at you know? And so uh, we over over

(58:37):
a period of a thunderstorm slowing things down and which
never happened, just rumbled off in the distance. But that
have to shut down anything that's high, which is all
the great rids, you.

Speaker 3 (58:46):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (58:47):
And so finally that kind of rumbled away and they
opened back up and we had a great day, and
just just when I had had had planned out everything perfect.
Because when you go to a theme park, you know
you have to it's when you take kids to a
theme park, get to battle plan.

Speaker 3 (59:00):
Sure. I mean you don't just casually Now you can
go to the beach and casually figure out what to do.

Speaker 6 (59:04):
You don't ever casually go into a theme park with
children with no plan of action. I tell people that
all the time, you know, the first time parents or
email we're thinking about going to six Flags or disney
World or something like we go into Alabama Adventure, you know,
and I'm like, you got a plan?

Speaker 3 (59:20):
Well, well we were just wondering. You can't wonder.

Speaker 6 (59:22):
I mean, you you got interests. This is like going
into battle. I mean, this thing could turn into a disaster.
So my battle plan was perfect, perfect, and I made
the mistake. I made the mistake almost free. I'm almost done.
I'm not frustrated. The lines we were tolerable. Everything was great.
Me and the boys had a great time. Uh you know,

(59:43):
I even you know, we won some of those carnival
games and won some worthless prizes and and and I'm
just about to leave and I noticed the hot dog restaurant.

Speaker 3 (59:53):
Nobody was in it.

Speaker 6 (59:54):
Oh and I and I thought, man, I can knock
dinner out right here, because you know, Dad's are always
that dinner cloud hangs over you in lunch. If you mom,
you know, if mom is no one knows, she wants
to know did you feed them right? And you start
thinking it will all this has been acceptable food for her?

Speaker 3 (01:00:08):
You know that probably not for mom. For dad, it's fine, yeah, cereal.

Speaker 6 (01:00:12):
So instead of hitting another restaurant while we're all tired
on the way home, I said, let's knock us out
right here, got it forgetting of course that, Uh employees
of thing Parks, well, there's a lot of things they
do well, but boys service and food just ain't one
of them. And uh, you know, I finally said to

(01:00:32):
the young man, I don't know that you could fix
this hot dog any slower than you're doing it. That
this is like watching a lava lamp, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 17 (01:00:45):
Not the lamp.

Speaker 6 (01:00:45):
So you're saying it would have been quicker if the
hot dog had come over and jumped in the bun itself.

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
You know what, you know what I did.

Speaker 6 (01:00:52):
And this is the part where that because I was
trying to represent christ right, which which was difficult, and
at one point I really did say, just let me
do it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
It's just hot dogs. I can do this. They're they're
spinning on the little warmer. The buns are to your left.

Speaker 17 (01:01:10):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:11):
Take the weenie, put it in the bun and give
it to me. Letting me have it. How hard is that?

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (01:01:21):
And uh, and and you know and and and and
let me tell you what happened, because I watched him
wait on the one woman that was in front of
me who wanted one plane hot dog, I'm not do
you want for those you here? You want to show
you my impression. It's a visual only you streamers and
people here. I'm not making this up. Of course, it's
his theme park hat tilted to one side. Of course,

(01:01:41):
you know what I mean. Look, she walks in. He's
back there with nobody nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
She she walks in. She says, I would like U
just a one plane hot dog rick standing up like
and I'm not I'm not exact. First of all, he
won't come all up to the counter. And then the
hot dogs are behind him, already cooked buns are to
the left, and a tupperware thing, okay, drink machine is
over here to your left. I would like one plane

(01:02:08):
hot dog. Now keep mine. I'm gonna get a lot
more in that. Okay, one plane hot dog. Head tilting,
he walks over, then goes over to the god forsaken
plastic gloves, which I said, when I said, when it's
my time, just grabbing your hands. You're fine.

Speaker 6 (01:02:27):
We've done things a lot, a lot more unclean than
your hands probably are, you know what I mean. My gosh,
we've been over you know, with piles of people, like
animals and water, you know what I mean. We've been
going down slides. Ain't no telling what's in that water,
you know what I mean? So look whatever, and look,
So here comes one glove trying to catch his fingers
in it barely.

Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
And look, and I'm just like about to come apart,
you know, I'm just like, how long does it take
to put on a stupid you know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (01:02:54):
Look and he kind of gets it down. Then he
didn't get it right one time, he takes it back off.
This is one hot do we have the wrong fingers.
Then he finally gets that on, and then he looks
over and gets the other one. Look and then he
kind of works it down. Then he goes over there
and he goes over to the tupwar thing. He can't
get it open with the buns in it. Well's he
got to slip gloves on that slip well unfortunately inside

(01:03:16):
where the buns are. Unfortunately, they had not disconnected the
buns for him and made them individuals. They were still attached,
and that threw him for a loop. Just tear it off,
just but they come apart. Well, he's keeping around with it,
and I'm just like, oh my gosh. And so finally
and then he and then he's just about to come

(01:03:36):
over with the hot dog. He's just about got it
over and she said, and I would like a pretzel too,
And he turns around.

Speaker 3 (01:03:45):
He starts taking the gloves off, and I want to.

Speaker 17 (01:03:46):
Leave him on more.

Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
Next, you know, just get it with the glove.

Speaker 6 (01:03:49):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:03:50):
It's like then there was a piece of paper he
had to get for that and oh that just a
and I'm just sitting I kid, you know.

Speaker 6 (01:03:55):
It took him ten twelve minutes to hand a plain
hot dog to a woman. And I realized, I've got
to get a lot of them, you know what I mean,
because you're hungry. So here's what I did. And I
thought this was smooth. I thought I cannot watch this again. Okay,
I can't because I do something that that will do
or crucify Christ, you know, in this man's eyes. So

(01:04:15):
so what what what I said is because you remember
the one time I was there and I removed the
hot dog special. I took it off the menu because
they couldn't pull it off. Yeah, yeah, And I said,
if you can't pull it off, just don't even have
it on the menu, you know what I mean. And
and so I didn't want to do that again because
I thought that's not being a line.

Speaker 3 (01:04:31):
You know what I mean. And so it's obviously a
lot was needed here, right, So so this.

Speaker 6 (01:04:37):
Time I really did. And I want to thank the
Moss family. God love you, Scott Boss, and your and
your beautiful children and your wife, because I when I ordered,
I turned around, not because I couldn't face what I
was going to watch because I wanted like five hot
dogs and all this. So I turn around and I
see the Moss family coming outside the window, who I
know and go to church with. I went out to them,

(01:04:59):
and we talked to about everything about their family. We
got updated, and I just hope that enough time would
pass it I would then turn around and see the
hot dogs there.

Speaker 3 (01:05:07):
So I just couldn't look at it. I said, I
can't look at what's happening back here.

Speaker 6 (01:05:10):
And I walked outside and talked with them, and that
you know how you talk to people, time passes faster.
And I talked with them and ate up about ten
fifteen minutes, and I came back and my hot dogs
were coming to me, and uh and and and so
that that helped big time, because and I wanted a
chili dog too, but I just couldn't know.

Speaker 13 (01:05:31):
Chili.

Speaker 6 (01:05:31):
I couldn't imagine if I'd ask him to get in
that chill you know what I mean, I couldn't. And
then I'm the stomach, thanks you too, I mean imagine, yeah,
And I know I noticed they gave him.

Speaker 3 (01:05:41):
Also.

Speaker 6 (01:05:42):
His job was to take care of hot dogs and
pretzels and watch the soft serve line, Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
That soft serve to take him all day getting that out.

Speaker 6 (01:05:51):
This young man couldn't take that on. This young man
couldn't take that on, you know. And and I tried
to talk to him, which was a mistake. You know,
you ever tried to to talk to you ever? Try
to talk to some of our youngsters today, some of
our young men and women. So, man, you're having a
good time here today? You know, because when I come
to a theme park, I want too excited. Yeah, I
want people. I want people look at my kids. Go

(01:06:13):
y'all having a good time at a theme part today?
You know, like that, Hey, everybody doing okay? How y'all
doing today?

Speaker 3 (01:06:18):
What can I do for you?

Speaker 6 (01:06:20):
You know, I made say say, man, you're doing all right?
I was like, what'd you say? You ever looked a
man in the eye and spoke with some some volume?

Speaker 3 (01:06:30):
Son? Rick? In his defense, are you capable of looking in.

Speaker 6 (01:06:35):
Someone's eyes and acknowledging our family existence? Here?

Speaker 3 (01:06:40):
We just knocked down to hundreds of dollars here, Rick
hat tilts it to the side, you know with the
thing part logo, what if you're the one sweating inside
that office letting them numbers? You love him with his
hat tilted. Again, this is who's representing everything you've invested.
Had a hat here?

Speaker 6 (01:06:58):
What they charged to eat at these things? Parts they're
not used to people coming in here. You couldn't believe
somebody actually buy.

Speaker 3 (01:07:03):
I couldn't believe it.

Speaker 6 (01:07:04):
I think it ended up being four hot dogs, not five,
because I knew too much. So four hot dogs, two
potato chips, one soft pretzel, three Coca colas normal size.

Speaker 3 (01:07:16):
Yeah, that'd be it'd be thirty five. I said. Now,
now I see that time I heard you and you
couldn't have said forty dollars. Yeah, you know what I mean.
I wish I didn't hear that. It clear and Rick
probably has a tip jar on the counter.

Speaker 5 (01:07:31):
Yeah, yeah, the.

Speaker 6 (01:07:32):
Gold put a tip jar out for a seven dollars
hot dog. And you know what My tip for him was,
find a job where you don't interact with human and
look both ways when you cross this dread. Yeah, how
much you say dollars?

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
I tell you.

Speaker 6 (01:07:52):
Have you noticed the price of all food? It seems
like it's gone up cheap. Mexican ain't cheap anymore. A
ball park or a theme park, trying to I tell
the kids prepare for what I want you to tell me.
He's the greatest hot dog.

Speaker 13 (01:10:23):
Hell?

Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
No, I'm going.

Speaker 17 (01:10:24):
But if you happen to jog, buy a Krispy Krane,
bring me something back. Anyway. I know these guys and
they have a membership at a local gymnasium, you know,
a membership. They bought it. They bought it. Let't be
emphasized that they bought the damn thing. I know one
guy that had the finance. He's making payers. It's a

(01:10:46):
membership to help listen, and you keep the membership card
in your wallet. You have to show this to get him.
I'm a member. Can I come in? Like the rest
of us was going to crash a damn jail? Like,
we're like, we're on our way to all you can
barbecue buffa, right, We're on our way out to eat,
but we pass this gym. Wh'ere all these people in

(01:11:07):
there are sweating and lifting and groaning and all like that.
We go, Oh, forget the barbecue, Lets say we stick
can do that? What got a nut? Do you have to?
I was going to I've tried to go in oh
years ago and not recently. But there's not a health
club in this country that hasn't astray you that you
can't smoke in that.

Speaker 3 (01:11:25):
No, that's out.

Speaker 17 (01:11:27):
So if they were just lighting up on some of
the rules, they have a lot more people coming in. Yeah,
you know, I keep going I.

Speaker 2 (01:11:32):
Or two and not smoke.

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
Right, how do you feel about it? And look, this
really gets to me, all of them in there drinking
their little.

Speaker 1 (01:11:41):
Bottle of water.

Speaker 17 (01:11:42):
Yeah, I call these people. I called the bottle of
water generation. Let me now, let me preface a little
bit too, because I've been talking about a lot since
last time.

Speaker 3 (01:11:48):
We're talking about this.

Speaker 17 (01:11:51):
Average. On the average, a court of water is a
dollar nine cents. It's a dollar nine, and the local
store is here. A court is a dollar nine, it's
a dollar nine. It's water. Yes, damn water is water.
That makes it four dollars and thirty six cents a
gallon for water?

Speaker 3 (01:12:09):
Right now?

Speaker 17 (01:12:10):
How many of you people listening to me right now
ever thought you would live long enough to see the
American people so dumb down that they would spend more
for water than they do beer. Ninety three octan fuel
is just a dollar thirty damn water? Have you have

(01:12:34):
you ever asked it? Have you ever asked yourself?

Speaker 3 (01:12:36):
Quick this kind We've come full circle.

Speaker 17 (01:12:41):
Twenty years ago. This is a true statement. Twenty years ago.
You know it, You ever knows it. You could not
go into any story in America and buy a court
of water. Now, if you haven't ask yourself why that was?
After it's dollar like waters and you invention, I'll tell
you why because twenty years ago, your parents and mine
were still running the country. They had the jobs that

(01:13:01):
made the money, that raised the kids, that bought the groceries. Now,
let's say it twenty years ago. My daddy was in
the store with my mama and he saw a quart
of water on the shelf. I wish this was TV
so you could see me. Here's what he would do.
He would just get the water off the chef, My
daddy would, and he would just commenced to look at it.
You know what I mean, Look at it, Hold up
for the light.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
Check it out.

Speaker 17 (01:13:22):
Well, I'll be there. Look here, honey, that's just water.

Speaker 14 (01:13:27):
Level.

Speaker 17 (01:13:28):
A dollar nine for that. Oh I bet it's April
fools to put back on the shelf. He thought it
was like a trick, like a joke, like corporate America.
I had to wait till the dumb ice generation got there.
That mama has a rye please on the chef. They'll
buy it.

Speaker 3 (01:13:44):
You want about these are nuts, I mean nuts.

Speaker 17 (01:13:48):
They go to a restaurant. Here's here's their idea of lunch.
A caesar salad, Caesar salad, three ounces of row made leggies.
It's just seven ninety five. That's all get one, how
get a whole bity of chickens? Break damn dollar? These
are idiots, you know, have you.

Speaker 3 (01:14:08):
Noticed that the health food people pay more for less food?

Speaker 17 (01:14:11):
They do? They do, and that's what's weird. You go
and get regular ice cream, okay, just loaded with sugar
like ice cream, sugar be like it ought to be
three point fifty for a half gallon sugar free ice cream.
They leave it out five eighty.

Speaker 3 (01:14:26):
Ryot say that, you know why? That's that dumb factor again.

Speaker 17 (01:14:29):
It's like they take the skin off of a chicken
and raise the price. Why would they do that? See,
only a health nut would subscribe to that theory and
that logic it is. They're dangerous. And you know what, though,
here's how I always learn to get the best of them.
And if you'll know, these real extreme health nuts are
never happy.

Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
If you don't just that, they're never happy.

Speaker 17 (01:14:48):
They're not happy. And here's why if this just galls
them too. But it's true. Nobody how much greasy food
they deprived themselves up, no matter how much hot fudge
cake they don't have, no matter how many great cigars
they don't smoke, Now how much sunlight they'll void. Okay,

(01:15:08):
they're still gonna die, and they're pissed about it. You
know you been back in summery with a TV where
the TV slebby Martin Lawrence collapse of a heat stroke,
went into a coma. He's a health nut. I was
on the West coast when all that was going on.

(01:15:29):
One hundred one degrees. He had a heat stroke. You're
supposed to have a heat stroke when you're running. She
had one hundred one degrees with Now, why do you
think the usual commisense? Why do you think that my overweight,
out of shape, fat butt change smoking. I'm here, y'all
having a good time while Martin is still recuperating. Now,

(01:15:51):
why is that? I tell you see here it was
one hundred one degrees. I knew it was one hundred
and one, but haven't been a health cut. Here's why
he decided to do jump in his budgy suit and
run down the highway like a jackat.

Speaker 14 (01:16:06):
Me.

Speaker 6 (01:16:07):
Me.

Speaker 3 (01:16:07):
I used it.

Speaker 17 (01:16:08):
I just used the brain God gave me. And and
I said to myself, I said to myself, I said, damn,
it's hot. I think I'll get some pudding and watch
Adyr Griffiet.

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
And I'm here out of the ball.

Speaker 17 (01:16:27):
And go and go leave here and go to the walk.

Speaker 3 (01:16:29):
Lout, James. I've got to ask you this. All those
people drinking that bottle of water and how do they
drink it in the gym?

Speaker 17 (01:16:35):
It's just sipsip not just look at just sit on
the freeway and the car next to you they keep
them on the car seat. These people listening to me
right now, Look around your co workers at the office.
They got bottles of ors sitting on this screw the
top off a da seal. What's that sip?

Speaker 10 (01:16:49):
Zipsy jump?

Speaker 17 (01:16:54):
See that must mean they hate it? You know, zip
zip something you love it?

Speaker 2 (01:17:03):
Ricking Bubba, Rick and Bubba.

Speaker 6 (01:17:22):
Hey, Rick here, I hope you're enjoying the best of
Rick and Bubba's. We're celebrating thirty one years of radio Gold.

Speaker 3 (01:17:28):
But don't forget.

Speaker 6 (01:17:29):
On January the sixth, a brand new era begins The
Rick Burgess Show. Speedy, Greg and Adler will join me.
Get all the details right now at Rick Burgesshow dot
com who owned our call was?

Speaker 3 (01:17:39):
We called him Big Joe.

Speaker 6 (01:17:40):
Yes, we will change his name to protect the Big
Joe and Big Joe Big Joe God go about five
oh yeah, l he's just gigantic and lez and very
wealthy at this time, just to eat up with money
and so those you remember your jobs when you were
in college.

Speaker 3 (01:17:57):
You didn't take them too terribly serious, right, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 6 (01:18:00):
Well, it was kind of a comedy excl exclusion, exclursion
for you.

Speaker 3 (01:18:04):
And I'm not trying to say, you know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (01:18:05):
We had our brown pants and our yellow shirts, and
you know that was big and and uh so I
began to develop an impression of big Joe.

Speaker 3 (01:18:14):
He had a real high pitched voice and he talked
like that and his voice was very very good impression. Yeah,
he can and what he liked to do. Of course
he had a hard time breathing because he was so big,
you know what I mean? But you could, you could.
I can relate to that. Rick Berg, boys, how is.

Speaker 5 (01:18:30):
It going down there?

Speaker 6 (01:18:32):
And get somebody there to run me an X? Now
when he wants you to run him an X or
a Z. That right, if you if you run a
cash register, you're familiar with this. That that let him
know how the day was so so I you known
X would give you a total to that amount. A
Z is for closing, wrapping, today. Yeah, that's that's wrapping
it up. So so people begin to love my impression

(01:18:52):
of of the of the boss and the owner. And
of course and over the telephone, it was even better.

Speaker 3 (01:18:57):
Over the telephone.

Speaker 6 (01:18:57):
I would distort it slightly and you really could not
tell the difference, you know what I mean. So I
begin to take advantage of this situation.

Speaker 7 (01:19:05):
Now.

Speaker 6 (01:19:05):
The big thing for all my buddies that didn't work
at the car wash are some who did who were
There was two people in on the loop and I won't.

Speaker 3 (01:19:10):
Tell their names because they'll get in trouble. And even
at the end this day there could be repercussion.

Speaker 6 (01:19:15):
So the favorite thing is you could sit at the
Quintard Mall where I grew up and see this car
wash clears the bat it was and there was a
payphone in a perfect position. Okay, So we we'd be
out on wed be out on Friday night, and I
would have worked the morning shift and everybody then all
of a sudden, the first person would say it.

Speaker 3 (01:19:35):
It'd be a Donnie Adams or somebody go please shut.

Speaker 6 (01:19:37):
Down the car wak shut down the car and the
chat to shut.

Speaker 3 (01:19:40):
Down the car wash would would just start. It'd be
overwhelmed and shut it down.

Speaker 9 (01:19:45):
So we shut it.

Speaker 6 (01:19:46):
We closed on a Friday night at eleven. So it's
to be about nine thirty. And I'd call and my
favorite guy to get was this guy named Ronnie Specter.

Speaker 7 (01:19:54):
He was he was, he was, he was.

Speaker 6 (01:19:57):
He was my favorite to get because he fell for
it every time. I'm changing his name to Ronnie Spector
is not exactly, but I'm changing it slightly because of
obvious reasons. So I'd call him up and i'd go, hey, Ronnie,
this is Joe.

Speaker 17 (01:20:15):
Go ahead and run me his zee and he.

Speaker 6 (01:20:17):
And they'd get up and I'd look, you can see
him in there. I could see him in there. He
start running that cash resture.

Speaker 3 (01:20:24):
I'll tell you what, that's a pretty good day, Ronnie.
Go ahead and shut her down. And you know, a
college kid or a high school kid, you just have
to tell him.

Speaker 6 (01:20:33):
Once, oh yeah, to get off early when you thought
you were gonna have to say the left in his mind,
he's sucking, Hey, I got time to go to the mall.

Speaker 7 (01:20:39):
RW you know what.

Speaker 3 (01:20:40):
And he'd go, he goes, sir, you want me to
go ahead? Yeah, go ahead and shut her do And
you looked him lies for him.

Speaker 23 (01:20:48):
And they shut the car once dead at nine thirty
and I was here live. This is great, and everybody
just you see people running and putting the brushes up.
They're go ahead to start reading the meters on the
gas pose.

Speaker 6 (01:21:00):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:21:01):
And every now and then Joe the real guy would
come by.

Speaker 6 (01:21:05):
He had this fancy sports car. Yeah, that didn't happen much,
but that was that was the ultimate. If he would
come by after right when I was shutting it that
he would be driving by and just walk the makes
down when he saw the lights on, and then he'd.

Speaker 3 (01:21:17):
Get out and he'd go and I go, you told
us to shut it down, you know so, And so
that was It couldn't get any better than that. That
didn't happen much, but when it did, it was precious.
Oh that is precious.

Speaker 2 (01:21:36):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:21:36):
He weighed about five hundred and drove a Jaguar.

Speaker 6 (01:21:39):
Okay, So what we would do if you if you
had somebody knew, if you had somebody knew working the shift,
and this was the greatest to me.

Speaker 3 (01:21:47):
If a new guy works, yeah, this is the day.

Speaker 6 (01:21:50):
We would pull around to the back. He pull around
the back and want everybody to hand wash his car.
You know that was big to wash his car. Well,
we had these you know you've seen these grease guns
where we go actually grease. Yeah, the equipment inside the
you know, the brush used to make sure they ran smoothly.

Speaker 3 (01:22:12):
Hang a, now, hey, this is bad that. You know
the story all that. So if I had.

Speaker 6 (01:22:16):
Somebody knew, I'd say, come here, son, and they come
over and say why. I said, you just saw a
big joe as the owner just went around the corner
and they said, yeah, yeah. I said, you need to
get that grease gun. And they said grease gun what for?
I said, you're gonna have to go have them get
out of his car because because it looked like he
be that he was so packed in that Jaguar, looked
like he'd sat on the ground. They built a car

(01:22:37):
around it like that, and they say huh And I said.

Speaker 3 (01:22:41):
Oh yeah, you said you gotta go over. He said
you gonna have to grease the door to get him
out like that, And they look at me and look,
they take that greasekun. They grab a corner here. You
can hear him go, mister Williams, I'm here to have
to get out car. Who told you that that I lies.

(01:23:01):
I don't know what they're talking about. And I said no, no, no,
I said, I know nothing about it.

Speaker 6 (01:23:06):
I said no, Joe, I think he misunderstood. I tell
him to grease the car one he's trying to grease me.
I said not, I don't know what you're talking about.
So so, I mean, so I begin to be Abdui's
impression so well that I would call up and say things.

Speaker 5 (01:23:21):
Like, hm, me expect to run inspect me.

Speaker 6 (01:23:25):
Ronny is ste go up there to the market and
he loses his breath.

Speaker 21 (01:23:30):
He fore then.

Speaker 3 (01:23:32):
And put on it, Rick Bird, just imploy and you
love no rodey about there putting your sins. You do
that from the back room. It's why you king, I
do it.

Speaker 6 (01:23:49):
And he'd come back and say, we know where the

Speaker 3 (01:23:54):
Told me to put your name on the Okay, Hey,

Speaker 3 (01:24:15):

that story and first time call her by the lake.

Speaker 3 (01:33:16):
Welcome, welcome to the program.

Speaker 22 (01:33:17):
Okay, let me tell you what happened. My daughter and
I were at Walmart and this guy was standing behind
us with his buggy, and of course a seven year
old when they speak Valentine, they're just all over it.
She was looking over in this guy's buggy and he
had these Valentine's gifts and I just made the comment, Wow,
he's sitting his Valentine stopping over fast, you know, and
getting it done early so he can get the best pick. Well,

(01:33:38):
here he goes, and he starts talking about what he's fought.

Speaker 3 (01:33:41):
And you said you made a comment doors open, say,
was Lisa like, just because he's being nice, that's not
engaged ham though, She said, oh done, But he was
just being nice.

Speaker 22 (01:33:57):
Well there's a story there, let me tell you. And
my husband said, as I talked too much, but this
is what he did. He was standing there and then
he was noticing what I was fine, and he said, hey,
I've got the little cell paper here that says these
coats throw on sell somewhere else or whatever. And he said,
you can get a discount, you know, just tell her
my sell paper says this.

Speaker 3 (01:34:14):
So I said, okay, cool.

Speaker 27 (01:34:14):
You know, well then he.

Speaker 3 (01:34:17):
You're sharing coupons. Wait a minute.

Speaker 22 (01:34:21):
Now, he proceeds to reach into his pocket and pull
out his breath.

Speaker 3 (01:34:26):
Spray and pray forth. Yeah, right in the line.

Speaker 22 (01:34:35):
He is spraying the breath spray. And I'm like, oh
my god, I've given him the wrong signal. And I'm
trying to get away from, you know what he's trying
to get away from. And then and I'm trying to
check out write my set whatever, and he is like, well, wait,
these these Mountain Dews are on sell.

Speaker 3 (01:34:50):
Too, And I'm like, okay, thanks, he's asking now, he's
after you. Now it's coupon's like crazy now.

Speaker 22 (01:34:55):
And when I tell my husband that, he said, okay,
that's what you get for being too nice, because I
they talked to anybody because that's your name.

Speaker 3 (01:35:02):
Well, it was it was so funny when you brought
that up.

Speaker 6 (01:35:05):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (01:35:06):
Well, you know what Sherry told me. She said, you

Speaker 3 (01:36:45):
This is a classic request. Take a listen.

Speaker 6 (01:36:58):
Bubba the concert, you said, well done, Lou Graham with
a slight list, but other than that, everything was phenomenal
and you had wonderful seats.

Speaker 3 (01:37:08):
I take it your night went went perfect. Rick Oakwood,
here it go again. What what is my deal with that?
I want to the Oak Mountain Amphitheater. I'm hung on
star Woods.

Speaker 6 (01:37:19):
What it is?

Speaker 3 (01:37:21):
Isn't that the one in Atlanta? I think you're talking
about Oakwood Homes.

Speaker 6 (01:37:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:37:24):
Look, there needs to be one that says would in it?
You know it?

Speaker 6 (01:37:27):
Yes, Well, we're at the Oak Mountain Ampathya. Yes, and
we like to think Mike Suko and Coca Cola. We
had great seats. Can't complain a bit. I'm on front row, baby,
and I ain't been on too many of them on
let's be down here on front row. So we're having
a big time meeting a lot of folks. I am jamming.
I am in too foreigner. Lou Graham owns me. You
know what I'm saying. I am reliving early days of

(01:37:50):
the Record Club. Oh yeah, I got you now.

Speaker 3 (01:37:52):
It just so happens the seat next to me is open,
so you know I've got plenty of room. I'm jamming.
Of course, we're standing up the whole time for the
most part.

Speaker 6 (01:38:01):
And then one of the ushers comes down and asks me,
is anybody sitting in the seat next to you?

Speaker 3 (01:38:07):
And I said, well, no, sir, they're not.

Speaker 6 (01:38:09):
So he brings down and I look before me, coming
across the beginning right there in the front of the stage,
there is a midget coming to sit next to me
and what we'll now call old seat number four. Now,
the usher says, my little man here can't see back
in the back, so we're gonna let him come up here.

Speaker 3 (01:38:28):
I said, hey, that's great. I felt good.

Speaker 6 (01:38:30):
Well, we know about them doing that because we embrace
midget on it. Oh absolutely, And into my mind, I
think this is gonna be a great opportunity for me.
I'm gonna make friends with this midget. We're gonna have
him back on the Saint Patrick's Day show, and this
is going to be great for us. I mean, I
am excited well about Then he comes and positions himself
to get into the seat, and I noticed that the

(01:38:52):
midget has a glass a cup of beer with him,
and I think, well, he's just enjoying the festivities.

Speaker 3 (01:39:00):
And then it hit me.

Speaker 6 (01:39:02):
I begin to think of the ten midgets that we know. Yes,
two of them great guys, the other eight raving alcoholics. Yes, sir,
that's and I begin to think, what is one beer
to anybody else? Is a case to a midget, and
that can't be good the You know, if a midget
your buddy, good news is the tab's not too much.

(01:39:23):
Bad news is he's sloppy drunk.

Speaker 3 (01:39:25):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (01:39:26):
Now, ricks, as as my friend the midget is standing
there enjoying the show, folks, they're sloppy drunks.

Speaker 3 (01:39:34):
I'm telling you.

Speaker 6 (01:39:35):
He begins to splash his beer on me. What And
I'm thinking if he dumps that on me, I am
gonna really be unhappy.

Speaker 3 (01:39:43):
I don't care how excited he is. Give me a visual.
I mean he's on the chair.

Speaker 6 (01:39:47):
I mean now he's standing beside me because his little
head keeps hitting me right up under the arm. Now,
if I if I happen to be say backstage or
standing back there with the oxygen for Lough Graham and
I Love to the front row, I will see Ryan Greenwood,
I will see Bubba and a drunk midget.

Speaker 3 (01:40:05):
Besides that, correct, that is correct. I just want to
be sure I've got the visual.

Speaker 6 (01:40:08):
Okay, Mick, the guitar player for Foreigner, sees our little
buddy and join the show and throws him down a
towel that he's used, and I think, well, how nice
of Mick to do that, Well done. Little did I
know that our little friend, the midget will now take
the towel and hurl it around and around as high
as he could hold it for the rest of the show,

(01:40:30):
which is just perfect with my left cheek. So I'm
about two songs further down the way, I'm being splashed
with beer and constantly popped with a white, sweaty towel
at this point, at this point, the midget is on

(01:40:55):
my nerves. Yeah, okay, yeah, he's on my nerves. I
would even there now. Granted, I'm trying to tell myself
that that this, that this, that this midget hasn't had
some of the things in life that normal people have had,
so I need to do everything I can so he
can enjoy this situation.

Speaker 3 (01:41:11):
And then it keeps hitting me how much I hate
drunk people.

Speaker 6 (01:41:15):
Right, there's nothing worse than a concert, football game, big
time event, A drunk sitting next to you and you're
not drunk.

Speaker 3 (01:41:23):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (01:41:24):
Rick, Nothing. So this continues for a few songs. Then
the midget asked me for a light and I said, buddy,
I don't smoke. I'm sorry. So he finds his lighter
in his pocket lights up a cigarette. So now I'm

(01:41:44):
being splashed with beer, still topped with a towel, right,
smoke blown on me, right and Rick, about three songs
into it, he bumps me with his cigarette and burns
me on the arm. Now, Rick, he hit me so
hard it crushed the end of his cigarette and he

(01:42:05):
never even noticed it because he's too busy waving his
towel and throwing.

Speaker 3 (01:42:10):
His beer on it. Right, Okay, So.

Speaker 6 (01:42:14):
At this point I am losing all patients with the midget. Okay,
and I'm going I don't care how tall he is,
what his story is. I should be able to enjoy
this concert as much as as him or anybody else.

Speaker 3 (01:42:29):
Well that, and he is cramping my style right now. Okay,
No one wants.

Speaker 6 (01:42:34):
To watch a concert with a sloppy, drunk midget who
is beating you with the tie West Building's beer on
you now is burning holes in your.

Speaker 3 (01:42:40):
Clothes, Rick, and a hint of bo just a tut.

Speaker 6 (01:42:43):
Hey, they'll stink. So Rick, here we go, sloppy drunks
will stink. Let's be clear, Rick, we're jamming.

Speaker 3 (01:42:53):
That's what I mean.

Speaker 6 (01:42:54):
Here again he hits me with a lighted cigarette. Oh again,
with the lighted cigarette. I had been burned twice now,
and I mean it's a good burn, o, you know,
get that. And I'm looking Mark, I'm looking at him.

Speaker 3 (01:43:08):
Like, what are you doing?

Speaker 6 (01:43:10):
You?

Speaker 3 (01:43:11):
You know, is you understanding that He's no, he don't
even know. He's he don't even know the rest of
us are in the world.

Speaker 6 (01:43:18):
Okay, he's on his own, little drunk midget, stinking playing.
So I've already told Ryan. I said, well, I've about
had it with mister Midge over here. I said, we're
on the last straw. So he's he's burned two or
three cigarettes and held his lighter up my face. You know,

(01:43:39):
I've had that, and somehow he loses his lighter. Of course,
he's drunk. He's throwing beer, waving his towel. He can't
keep up with his lighter. And I'm thinking this is
a blessing. Yeah, the cigarettes are gone. At least we
won't have to work through that anymore. But from recollection,
when a drunk, especially a drunk nidget, drop something, they
forget about that half full beer cup they've got when

(01:44:02):
they go to scramble for it. They used to give
you a good daw sgue. I'm not even paying attention.
So again he tapped for me on knee and asked
me for a light. And I said, buddy, I still
ain't smoking, and I still ain't got a lighter from
the last time you asked me. Well, he starts working
the all behind me, and I'd like to thank the
ladies behind me that gave him a light.

Speaker 3 (01:44:22):
Okay, gosh.

Speaker 6 (01:44:23):
So he lights him up another cigarette and heat buddy,
I mean he and he is like a little Mexican
midget jumping bean. He is jumping, he is whirling his towel,
and he is slinging his beer. Okay, I hope I'm
painting the picture of all of you.

Speaker 3 (01:44:41):
Love this, for all of the stories you've told this one.
I see so clear. I mean I see it. I'm there,
we have all been in this situation and all during
this time. I'm hope. Because I'm not a man of violets, Rick,
I want to be clear. I try to be calm,
try to endure that work. These things of our bunch,
you're the last one to move on.

Speaker 6 (01:45:02):
And then once again, and I think it was during
Blue Monday, Blue day, right, he run that hot cigarette
up my arm for the third and what I considered
the last time.

Speaker 3 (01:45:14):
This one was so bad. I have ashes on my shoulder.

Speaker 6 (01:45:20):
And I tapped the little midget man on the shoulder
and I said, hey, buddy, I said, I'm fixing the
whoop that midget. If you burned me again, I'm sorry. Kids,

(01:45:50):
that's just the way it was. Well, now you gotta
tell it how I went down.

Speaker 10 (01:45:56):
Man.

Speaker 3 (01:45:56):
The midget does not understand what I say. He goes,
oh gosh.

Speaker 6 (01:46:03):
So I grab him again and I speak very clearly
into his ear, and I said, if you burn me
with that cigarette one more time, I'm right in his ear.
I said, I'm gonna cram you so far up under
that seat they ain't gonna find you.

Speaker 3 (01:46:17):
It'll teusday about.

Speaker 6 (01:46:22):
Then the little midget man gathered up his tile, what
was left of his about a quarter cup of beer
what he hadn't.

Speaker 3 (01:46:30):
Slung out, and he waddled on over to another seat
on the front rope.

Speaker 6 (01:46:39):
And there is where I see him sitting next to
Quinton from her promotions to party. I'm sorry, and look,
look it was not the right thing to do, but look,
I could not come back. I had to have skin
on my right arm when I came back.

Speaker 3 (01:47:00):
Yeah, when when the bond show, when it's time to
shut down?

Speaker 6 (01:47:02):
Look right now, right now, I'm calling on the legislators
of the great States that we broadcast from to please.

Speaker 3 (01:47:10):
Examine our midget drinking laws.

Speaker 6 (01:47:15):
Look, have a little look. This is not This is
not a a anti midget thing. This is simply physics.
Their little bodies cannot absorb the alcohol at the rate
that most adults can. Yes, I mean it's it's you know,
you can act like that's not true, but it is.
I mean, half a beer can see I'm spending you

(01:47:37):
know what I mean. So I'm sorry you had to
go through that, buddy. Otherwise, Tho, it was a pretty
good experience, one great concert. So all right, we'll gather ourselves,
we'll come back. You know, seriously, though, you know, as
I saw my dad pick a drunk up one time

(01:47:57):
at the ball game and spilled this beer all of them.
If you can't handle you alcohol don't drink it, you
know what I mean. Go home, lock yourself in the house,
but don't bring it on the rest of us.

Speaker 3 (01:48:05):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (01:48:09):
Ricking Bubba, Ricking Bubba.

Speaker 3 (01:48:19):
Thank you so much for tuning into the best of
ricking Bubba, and welcome to the rick and Bubba.

Speaker 7 (01:48:23):
She'll thank I.

Speaker 16 (01:48:23):
Had a story for you. Thought up here in Tennessee.
This lady fifty eight years old, living with her parents still,
and she is going to go do some work on
her roof, okay, out on the back side of her house.
So she ties a rope to the back end of
her truck. Oh no, goes up on the roof, goes

(01:48:44):
up over the top of the roof down on the
other side, so she won't fall off. Well, she's over
there working on the roof. Her dad decides to go
to the store, so he comes out, gets in the truck,
drives off. She flies up over the top of the roof,
down onto the driveway, out into the streets and down
the street. And they didn't say how far she went,

(01:49:05):
but they said it was down the street before he
noticed that he was dragging his daughter behind. That was
in the Chattanooga newspaper Dan, is she alive, Yeah, she's alive.
They didn't say she died. They just said she was
taking to the hospital with injury.

Speaker 3 (01:49:20):
But the phrase down the street.

Speaker 6 (01:49:23):
So she comes over the house, off the house, oof
on the ground, and oh my gosh, Daddy still.

Speaker 3 (01:49:29):
Don't see me.

Speaker 6 (01:49:30):
He's gonna drag me down the street. People, Can we
give a heads up in the audience. If you're going
to have something that is gonna hold you secure, don't
tie it to a vehicle and be on the other
side where nobody can see you. But did dad not notice, Hey,
there's a rope tied to the truck.

Speaker 16 (01:49:44):
Well, that's what I couldn't figure out, isn't he didn't
see a rope going up over the top of the house.

Speaker 3 (01:49:50):
You know what I think it is, don't you?

Speaker 2 (01:49:51):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (01:49:51):
What when is she gonna get her own place?

Speaker 16 (01:49:54):
All I could think was all I could think was
dipping don up on the rope and Jeene Simmons hopping
in a truck, dropping driving down the street.

Speaker 3 (01:50:02):
Been listen, sitting here, just ast you fifty eight years
O'll get out and find you. How that her on
on the sign. I will crank this truck up in
some of this once in a while, baggage. No, I
mean it's a I mean that's a I can't believe
that there's a truck cranking up.

Speaker 6 (01:50:52):
Saying, ain't running round. Somebody's give me some new gas.
It must have water in the tank. You sound like
you couldn't get it in gear. I ain't grind it
if you can't find it.

Speaker 3 (01:51:03):
That's true. Well, Dan, that's that's how I used to
holler that on somebody. You can't find them grinding. That's great.
Damn thanks. All right, that's a crazy story.

Speaker 28 (01:51:12):

And I'm going to tell the truth today on how
I was in Okay, and y'all this is nobody else

the truth.

Speaker 6 (01:57:18):
On how y'all are not going to believe this? Okay,
here I go. I was doing a live broadcast about
three years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:57:28):
There's no way.

Speaker 6 (01:57:30):
I was doing a live broadcast about three years ago,
and we had one of these moonwalk jumping things. Yes
you I'm talking about. And I'm doing this for you, Bill.
This is to show you how much a friend or
this is go with to you. That's what's funny. And uh,
you know they're very jumpy, you know. And I've been
looking at it the whole broadcast.

Speaker 3 (01:57:49):
Was you at this station. I had just started at
this stage. I remember when this happened to you. This
is what's funny, all right, too. Now keep in mind,
you know I have off.

Speaker 6 (01:57:58):
You know, I think I've even brought up the yellow
made a die for him y'all a couple of times,
and talked about my harble.

Speaker 3 (01:58:03):
Football injury. I've never heard of that term. Okay, coming
out of your mouth. Right, Well, I tell the doctor
Tom makes reading and usually a he's a boy. You
must have read it took a shut. Yeah, yeah, football injury.

Speaker 6 (01:58:15):
So I was making the making I actually was making
the game saving tackle on Bo Jackson.

Speaker 3 (01:58:21):
That's how it happened. He hit me full head of steam.
That's how me over so uh stuffed, of course, that's
when he's mincing Jackson. Uh so.

Speaker 6 (01:58:30):
So I kept looking at this moonwalk and I really
wanted to play on it badly, but the kids were
on it and I was broadcasting. So the broadcast ends,
and I think I'm going to jump on the moonwalk. Now,
little did I know they were deflating the moonwalk. They
had already cut the blower off all right. Now, it
still appears to have air in it, right, you know

(01:58:50):
how many is air in it? But it's not pressure ize.

Speaker 19 (01:58:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:58:54):
You know how you do your your sheet at home,
and it'll dealttle air pocket in it. But hey, it
won't hold you. It just looks like there's air in.
So I take a running start and and I'm on
a stage area, which gives me a little hot sure,
So I mean, I'm about to come off with a
Superman dive that will shock the world. Right onto the moonwalk,

(01:59:17):
Right onto the moonwalk. Now no one sees me because
you know it's breakdown time. All the people have left.
There's nothing but to the guy taking down his moonwalk.
This is just for me, right, you know, even the salespeople.
Of course, you know it's just a kid in you right,

So I'm left and everybody's gone, and there's a couple
of people over.

Speaker 3 (01:59:37):
Talking in the parking lot. I dive on this thing and.

Speaker 6 (01:59:43):
Nothing, you know, air will not stop you, right, nothing
stops me and I hit right on the pavement, and
I mean it's the sound that came out.

Speaker 14 (01:59:56):
Of me.

Speaker 7 (01:59:58):
Was not human.

Speaker 3 (01:59:59):
As he was again asked me for air. It was like,
because I'm thinking of not human.

Speaker 6 (02:00:04):
See, I was laid out in a dive and I
hit the payment and here was the sound. I mean,

Anyway I want to say. I want to say it's
twenty miles. Twenty miles to your house.

Speaker 3 (02:05:50):
That's what I'm gonna say.

Speaker 6 (02:05:51):
Okay, So I loaded up and I have my own
little strap, my strap it down and uh, the guy
even tied a little something on there, and I told him,
ask good, it'll be. I ain't got that for that's
just what burges. So I'm I'm rocking right along. So
when you drive from Oxford to Jacks, Well, you can
forget that you have furniture on the back, you know
what I mean. Of course, you get comfortable. So I

(02:06:12):
got comfortable. Everything's riding good. I checked riding good, riding good.
Got about Aniston, I quit checking riding good. Right. Yeah, okay,
by the way, that's only about four miles into the trail. Yeah,
so I'm rocking right. Your question, real quick, is this
a Saturday?

Speaker 10 (02:06:25):
You do it?

Speaker 6 (02:06:26):
So you're doing honey, dew it on Saturday morning. You
had the weather like you locked it. Oh it's a
good day. Yeah thought, so I'm doing good. Check you know,
I say, then once again, I'm gonna cut through weavers.
I don't have to go that fast.

Speaker 14 (02:06:37):
You know.

Speaker 3 (02:06:37):
Now you're gonna cut on some because great things. If
he's on back roads, he's making time. And it infuriates
me about it. I wasn't in a hurry. Stay on
the highway, man, you'd already be there Saturday morning.

Speaker 6 (02:06:46):
Anytime you you're hauling something couch, Yeah, couchs in their flat,
love sleeps laying on top of it. That's the key
strap strap kind of evidently you need to chop anytime
you're hauling something about halfway the trip over and check
make sure that something had shifted. You know. That's that's
that's a given. I know better than that. Check you
load and then move on. So I get on Pleasant

(02:07:08):
Valley Road, and that's that's home stretch. When I take
it on Pleasantvaluy far from your house. At this point,
when I get on Pleasant Valley Road, I got about
four miles, so you're four miles from No than that,
I get down Pleasant Valley holding his church, which is
probably a mile or less from the house, And at
this point I've forgotten a mile or less or less.
I've forgotten old that the first for me. In the
back of the truck, I'm rocking right, old man. I

(02:07:33):
always check the mirrors as I'm driving, That's just a habit.
I haven't hit that middle mirror. And I look and
that song of a gun launches the love seat. It's
got big air under it. Look, you know when a
car wrecks and it starts rolling in so here she
goes love Sea just to rolling. And in my mind,
of course it's got plastic stuff on it. But in
my mind, I'm like, it ain't hurt, couldn't help, just

(02:07:59):
a little bit of that your hey, I'm you know, hey,
I'm just there goes money b I want to get
it on for somebody sees it when my buddies drive back,
because that's gonna be funny. Yeah, adrenaline mad grabs love
throws it on the back the truck by myself, Yes,
because I didn't want just to holler, and I didn't
want tiring Green or Brady turn right Boster to come down.

Speaker 3 (02:08:19):
I didn't want to know that even after you load
it up.

Speaker 6 (02:08:22):
You gotta love say by yourself. And then I went
real slow because I wouldn't tie it down and have time.
And I thought, you can do that because you were
so close to home that I was less than a mile. Okay,
yeah take the damage at all. Yeah, it had busted
the top, all the postry was just busted. So how

(02:08:44):
did you play it when you came?

Speaker 3 (02:08:46):
Did you? Did you act like it was all everybody's
excited that the furniture is there? Yeah, no, you didn't
have that. Yeah, real quick.

Speaker 6 (02:08:55):
So husband and daddy run off to get furniture while
wife and family wait and probably put kind of rearrange everything.

Speaker 3 (02:09:05):
It's gonna go right here.

Speaker 6 (02:09:06):
As I took the other furniture, took it to Taylor,
John left Taylors to go get this one. To come
back and finish the day money, I'll be home with you.
There's no furniture in the house right, not in that
room now because they're waiting on the new.

Speaker 3 (02:09:18):
So I thought, do I bring the couch in or
just get it over with? So I just said, well,
I'm not gonna go.

Speaker 6 (02:09:25):
I gonna stop here because it gets real ugly and
I'm not gonna I'm just not gonna go any further.
But I did go in and go, look, here's the deal.
This is the way I think. I said, Look, I
won't to hear it. You said that, you said that,
but I was real humble.

Speaker 3 (02:09:41):
Did you leave? I look, Rick, I don't hear it.

Speaker 17 (02:09:47):
That's real home.

Speaker 3 (02:09:48):
When I told, aybody want to hear it? No, I
didn't say it like that. I was humble.

Speaker 6 (02:09:51):
I just said, look, let me just get on this
on me screwed up. Let me call down there and
tell an order to another. So are you mumble at
this time? Because you'll mumble you get and it's like,
what did you say?

Speaker 3 (02:10:04):
Anyway? Then it got ugly. But bottom line is I
called down there, he got ugly. I called down here.
I told him, I said it fell off.

Speaker 6 (02:10:11):
They were like it fell off. I said yeah, I said,
just ord him another one. Okay, we'll let you know
when it's in. What they said, you can bring the one.
It's okay, you can have at it. But so I'm
waiting on it to come in.

Speaker 3 (02:10:24):
So they didn't deliver. No, no, i'd I mean they
may have offered it. That one't in the deal.

Speaker 6 (02:10:31):
I thought it was thought I could get it home
truck that figure, and I don't want to be this guy.
But is there a little bit of hey, you got
it strapped in real good?

Speaker 14 (02:10:39):
Or No?

Speaker 6 (02:10:40):
It was on me because I approved it. In fact,
he almost taught me into another one. I said, oh yeah,
one more to done. It said, I have my own
little ratchet. Stroup thought I was sharp. He was putting
that bailing trying on there, and I said bailing trying
to eat crap. One more battance twine on the front

(02:11:02):
would have done so any ann anything. My my rachettrap
was at a bad ain't dog on it. I knew
it was gonna slide off. It was because the little
hooks the way they were it it wouldn't hittim like
I wanted it to. But then I thought, I ain't
got that far. And if i'd have just remembered it
was back there and not kicked it up till about
sixty five, I think I'd have been okay, Bay, So

(02:11:23):
you just totally forget it was back Yes, I got.

Speaker 3 (02:11:27):
Can I ask A song was in the show Have
you ever had something stupid? Have you ever had like
a trailer on and you carry us up you're real
careful to forget. Then you forget. Well, I was too close?
Is close where they fly them go krts.

Speaker 6 (02:11:39):
You know I'm talking, and there's always dear me pleasant
valley looking for and I got to looking forget every
time I come through the I'm looking for digg turkeys.

Speaker 3 (02:11:48):
You're home.

Speaker 6 (02:11:48):
If you're it's less than mine. I want you to
see the flipping. And then it hit that one big one.

Speaker 3 (02:11:55):
Yeah launched it. He would to stop. I just wanted
it wouldn't stop. So great about just in my mind going,
I want to have plastic and that cardboard helped it?

Speaker 6 (02:12:05):
Now, Greg, anything, Greg, help it? Did you think about
just carrying it in and acting like you didn't notice
anything was wrong with you?

Speaker 30 (02:12:11):
Know?

Speaker 17 (02:12:12):
I did?

Speaker 6 (02:12:12):
I thought about that. I go, da guy, look at
that spot, but it was so bad. All I say,
baby girl got a heck of a love seat out
in the ground. It's got a little bit of foam
coming out of it. You did think about setting it that,
taking the plastic off, and go what if it had
been just like a little corner? Definitely, Well, you get
here's where here's here's well, here's where you mess up
when you do that. Though, because your wife's first reaction,

(02:12:33):
you'll go get on the horn. And I do feel
good about how stout the furnture is though, because as
far as structural damage, it's hanging in there. It's really
just busted the uphostery. I thought that the wood and
I'll be just you know, the frame inside it. But
it's hanging in there.

Speaker 4 (02:12:47):
So when you didn't do a commercial for him, hey
can I take you? Can I go back real quick?
So you go and you and you say, hey, it's here.
So I'm assuming couch and lufts that you need help
getting it out of the trump Yeah, all right, So.

Speaker 3 (02:12:58):
Any road was there for that down's boyfriend? Okay, so
he got something.

Speaker 17 (02:13:03):
He got to me.

Speaker 6 (02:13:04):
He wasn't quite there yet, but he was on his way.
So you come in while while the collateral damage was
going on. Because I was being humble, that was yeah,
it was so little Greg got to help him?

Speaker 3 (02:13:16):
What Greg? He got to the point where I just
walked outside and closed the door. There was no sense
in continuing to be inside the house.

Speaker 17 (02:13:23):
Just kind of.

Speaker 3 (02:13:25):
There was no reason for me to be in occupying
the area.

Speaker 6 (02:13:30):
That's where it got Could you just walk around the
truck and wait, yeah, wait on Eddie, I wanted to
hurry his last night. I was ready to get it done.
But I'm sorry, pause Greg, because I was ready to
get that other in there. He's like, I need that
new plump seat. I needed it in there because at

(02:13:52):
this point, because let me tell you what, at this point,
I hadn't got on the phone in debt with what
I'm gonna do, you know, to get it? Hey, I
got another one coming. Hey, that hurt though. Money wise, boy,
her you talking about paying double for one hurt?

Speaker 11 (02:14:03):
That hurts.

Speaker 6 (02:14:04):
Yeah, I don't know why I said. I'm sorry, By
I'll tell you why, because you were real. I'm going
to be frustrated.

Speaker 3 (02:14:10):
I wasn't because I was there. He needed him to
get his there because Greg didn't have one left.

John said that we needed to go on the other
side of the field. I get that, John, John Good

But well, I know, but gon I'm waiting on John.

Speaker 18 (02:22:36):

Speaker 3 (02:22:45):
You wating to the twenty though?

Speaker 20 (02:22:47):
Where where are we going? I know, but I was
running the other side.

Speaker 7 (02:22:53):
Huh much jail.

Speaker 3 (02:23:03):
Way telling you're being false lit? Cis Richard Jack tackled
at the twenty. It's almost a sack, wasn't it.

Speaker 7 (02:23:15):
I don't understand.

Speaker 6 (02:23:16):
It's ridiculous, just ridiculous, seriously tackled at the twenty. Uh, Bob,
I don't mean to call this. I think you'll support me.
There comes a time where you just have to run.
You have to go. Hey, we were sacked. Why There
comes a time you just have to take off. If
you really want to try the field again, you just
have to run and if.

Speaker 20 (02:23:34):
People who can get back in, Okay, when's the show?

Speaker 3 (02:23:38):
By the way, all right, so what did you tell it?

pile of people coming now there's all security.

Speaker 20 (02:23:47):
It's over now, oh man, God laugh, just here we go.

Speaker 3 (02:23:53):
All right? This disconnect if you have to this is it?
Say Well, I'm gonna run the field and leaving.

Speaker 7 (02:24:00):
Why not? Because against the.

Speaker 27 (02:24:02):
Rules and regulations to Georgia One Congress Center.

Speaker 20 (02:24:05):
Sir, well, I'm just gonna run the field and I'm
gonna leave.

Speaker 3 (02:24:08):
And I'll be heading on now.

Speaker 7 (02:24:12):
I'm gone. Ye Who am I speaking with?

Speaker 3 (02:24:19):
Hello?

Speaker 20 (02:24:20):
Who am I speaking with?

Speaker 3 (02:24:22):
I don't think we're supposed to tell. Apparently we have
lost the line. I don't know what happened. Line dropped out. Lurch, Lerch,
you're on with Rick and Bubba. You're giving us a win.

Speaker 6 (02:24:32):
Play show that speed racer was taken into custody by
the Georgia Down Police. Broke Free tried to run down
the field but was tackled.

Speaker 3 (02:24:42):
Is that correct?

Speaker 27 (02:24:43):
And you know he doesn't like uh people handling him.
He put up a little resistance.

Speaker 3 (02:24:47):
Okay, so he got in a fight.

Speaker 27 (02:24:49):
Well, I'm not gonna call it a fight, a scuffle, Lerch.

Speaker 6 (02:24:54):
Let mat me be sure we have start screaming, don't
put your hands on me right, let me let me
let me see.

Speaker 3 (02:24:58):
If I have this right.

Speaker 6 (02:25:00):
Speedy, not wanting to come back to Alabama, only made it,
only making it to the twenty, just decided found him
another way in and ran to the field and started
running down it.

Speaker 3 (02:25:10):
And they've tackled him. Is that correct. Yeah, and he
has gone to some security office of.

Speaker 27 (02:25:15):
Some kind or I don't know. I lost sight of
him when they pulled him off the field.

Speaker 3 (02:25:19):
How did you see this or did you just see
them taking him in?

Speaker 27 (02:25:22):
Well, I just there's like a little gay at the
back of the end zone, you can see through it.
And he took off front of there, and I saw
that Captain vance Gott chased him. Yeah, and then about
two more guys came from the side and they all
got him and there started pulling on him and beat
up below resistance, and they eventually drag him off. And
I don't know where he went.

Speaker 3 (02:25:36):
I do care about speedy, don't misunderstand, but we need
to know how far he got? How far did he
make it a profitable It was about a thirty three
yard runner.

Speaker 20 (02:25:43):
He had a nice cut back in there.

Speaker 3 (02:25:46):
Against the grain.

Speaker 6 (02:25:48):
Well thirty that's a little bit better, hey, I tell
you running the full distance it's tough, Rick, you know.
Apparently the security guards are much quicker on astraturf Lurch.

Speaker 3 (02:25:57):
Do we need to do anything? I mean, just do
we need to call? Where do we need to go from?

Speaker 22 (02:26:01):
What to do?

Speaker 27 (02:26:01):
Right now?

Speaker 6 (02:26:02):
Go back to the door. Tell him you're with the
young man who has been arrested or who is being hailed,
and that you're stranded and you need to just go
wherever he goes.

Speaker 27 (02:26:11):
Well, they I cannot go in there, they said, I
have to. They want me to wait in this general area.
Hold on second, I think, I Yeah, he's walking out.

more fun than the Lord shout. Just a big old boys.
There are two of a kind. They always seem to

(02:35:21):
be running just a little bit hind.

Speaker 3 (02:35:26):
Bubba.

Speaker 6 (02:35:26):
It is time to tell a story that has been
has been begged from us for for years, and I
do mean years.

Speaker 3 (02:35:33):
It has been a long time ago. Uh When this,
when this, when this actually happened?

Speaker 6 (02:35:39):
The the details we will we will leave sketchy, uh
to protect the innocent and uh and guilty. Well, but
with Don wanted speedy going to Los Angeles, I thought
this was last time, Yes.

Speaker 3 (02:35:52):
A good time to do it. Has this ever been
told before?

Speaker 6 (02:35:54):
And there no, no, no, this first time uh never
had many many many years ago in a place very
far far away. Yes, we were involved in a promotion
that we were going to Los Angeles and we were
going to carry two listeners who were going to be
drawn via a random drawing. Now right there is the
beginning of where this story goes awry. Let me for

(02:36:17):
all you aspiring radio people, sells people because you're involved
in this, to our people on the air, the term
random drawing. If you're gonna place out boxes, be careful
where you place them. Yeah, Rick, you know there's nothing wrong.
I mean different people shop and do different type business
at different places. But when you have a have a

(02:36:38):
box at a tidal plum place where someone will actually
give up their car for twenty five dollars, yes, you
have to worry a little bit about what you're dealing with.
Maybe if someone is going to go on a trip
with you and you're gonna spend time with them, maybe
the people that will give up their whole car for
twenty five bucks is not to people need to check. Well,

(02:36:58):
we just a hint, yeah, we would we begin, We begin,
and we have uh yes, oh it's worse. We uh
thank you for credit concting us with changing that we uh,
we have the drawing and we're gonna call the winner
and do a promo. Uh so you know, play on there.

(02:37:19):
And we called and and we we call and we
will say that the young lady's name who won was
Wanda one.

Speaker 3 (02:37:24):
We'll just say it. And it was Wanda. And I
called and I said, is this wonder? Yeah, this is Wander.

Speaker 6 (02:37:33):
Now Wanda was a chain smoker and uh yes she was.
And and didn't I don't even I can't even do
the voice anymore.

Speaker 3 (02:37:42):
We we we called, we called up and she said yes,
she said yeah, she said, yeah, this is Wanda. And
we said, we said, Wanda, this is this is Rick
and Bubba? What Rick? And who said? Rick and Bubba?
Do you remember registring to win a trip to Los Angeles?

Speaker 7 (02:37:59):
Hell?

Speaker 6 (02:37:59):
Yeah? And I and I know right then, and I'm thinking, hey,
we're in trouble, and folks, that's the only word I
will use, because she gave us others yes, yes, that
we cannot that we cannot use on the ear.

Speaker 3 (02:38:15):
Well, she didn't believe us. So we go through a
flurry of words that sounded like we just came off
the troop ship. Yeah. Uh, she doesn't believe us.

Speaker 6 (02:38:24):
We have to call her back again to verify this,
and then she begins to go nuts and she is
screaming and running around the trailer, screaming to the top
of her loan. She is screaming tra keyword here, trailer
she was. She was screaming throughout to her home. Uh,
you know, I'm going to g D Los Angeles. Look,
we're not making We're not making any judgments about anybody

(02:38:46):
or anything. We're simply telling the story as it happened. Look,
I have I lived in a manufactured home a lot
a long portion of my life, so I don't think
everybody lives in a manufactured home would be these type
of people. But I must tell you the the term
white trash comes to mind here.

Speaker 14 (02:39:02):
Rick.

Speaker 6 (02:39:04):
We we we were somewhat in the panic what we
had gotten into. Yes, and uh as the the morning
that we were leaving, we were going to the Atlanta airport.
They the limo picked me up first and then we
had to pick them up. And I knew, I knew
those problems when the directions was last trailer on the right.

(02:39:24):
But we get there, we find the trailer door swings open.
I don't mean open and come out. It comes open
like a bomb has exploded. Now now, Baba, I think
that we have left out an important important part. When
she started telling us who was gonna go with her
it was a trip for two. Well, please don't don't
leave that, because you're about to talk about this guy.

(02:39:45):
And uh, well, she she asked who who the friend
that she could carry could be? And we said, will anybody?
And we asked if it was her husband that was
going to be going, and she said.

Speaker 3 (02:39:57):
No, he's in the pen. She said, she said, can
Wily go? And we care my boyfriend Willie And I said,
I said, well, I said, you know it's so, it's
not just the old man's in the pin.

Speaker 6 (02:40:14):
I picked up by the law and I said, I said, well,
are y'all divorced? No, he just can't go, my boyfriend Willeye.
So we get there, trailer door swings open and out
comes Wanda, suitcase in hand, on a full sprint to
the limo. Yes, as hard as you can go, and

(02:40:36):
then coming behind her and he looked like he started
on a full sprint from way way in the back
of the trailer comes old Willie. Now I have to
tell you what Willy looks like. And I don't know
any other way to describe this, the well accepted pictures
of the way Jesus looks the long stringy hair beard

(02:40:59):
and go to uh and look that is where the
tie end ends. Okay, no where, nothing else but topped
off with one of those Richard Petty hats feathers on
the front fan feather. So basically you have Jesus with
the Richard Petty cowboy heaven. Now Now, Willie, Willie as

(02:41:19):
he as he will tell us, Willie, as he will
tell us later, ain't never been nowhere, Okay, nowhere. Willy
comes running from the back of the trailer, and he
is so excited he doesn't stop to go down the
steps on the front porch.

Speaker 3 (02:41:35):
He does a full hurdle over the rail.

Speaker 6 (02:41:39):
One problem, the last foot, the last silver toe of
his boot, got home on the rail as he tried
to hurtle it, Willy cowboy hat and all went end
over end into a giant bush. Now, this did allow

(02:42:05):
this did allow me to see inside their home. Let's
don't let's say this don't where now now. Willy was
a big outdoorsman because he ain't never been nowhere. And
we know, we know a lot of deer hunters that
you know, they keep a trophy, the head of a deer,
the tae harvest.

Speaker 3 (02:42:22):
WILLI not only kept the head.

Speaker 6 (02:42:24):
He had a whole deer, stuff, hoofs, tailing, all standing
in the middle of his living room.

Speaker 3 (02:42:31):
His stuff, the whole deer in the middle of the
living room, just left of the TV. Now Willy.

Speaker 6 (02:42:43):
Willy picks himself up off the ground, begins another full
spread toward dilemo, locks it down like a sideway, slide
into the limbo like a skier would do, and promptly announces,
I ain't never been nowhere now at this time, I'm
his girlfriend. Wanda begins to explain to Bubba why Billy

(02:43:05):
seems to be a little clumsy. Well, she said he'd
been drinking since four o'clock to take the edge off.
This is about six in the morning, and I said
he's been drinking for two hours.

Speaker 3 (02:43:16):
She said, no, four yesterday afternoon. All right.

Speaker 6 (02:43:24):
When we come back, Willie and Wanda are in the
limo and Bubba has headed to pick me up and
we're headed to Atlanta to catch the plane. The rest
of the story, folks, it only gets worse all ready,
So so stand by the story that we vowed to
never tell.

Speaker 1 (02:43:44):
Ricking Bubba, Ricking Bubba, ringing bubricking Bubba.

Speaker 3 (02:43:58):
That's the dree that the he's drinking Buba Bubba. Oh,
it brings me to my knees and bua. I catstn enough.

Speaker 4 (02:44:13):
Twenty minutes past the hour and thank you so much
for tuning in to the best of Ricking Bubba show.

Speaker 6 (02:44:20):
All.

Speaker 4 (02:44:21):
This last hour is an epic one here with the
telling of Willy and Wanda. What a classic story. We're
in segment two here of a forest segment story. So
just hang out for the hour and enjoy. It's the
best of Rick and Bubba show.

Speaker 3 (02:44:39):
Bubba.

Speaker 6 (02:44:40):
You'll be happy to know that you're in the break.
Talk to our council and they said, just proceed with
caution throughout the rest of the story.

Speaker 3 (02:44:47):
So well as we pick it up.

Speaker 6 (02:44:49):
We have now picked up Willy and Wanda in the
limo when I give a quick sale called Rick to
let him know, Hey, hey, we're in trouble now. Willy
is a sheet in the wind already in and it
is still pouring it on. Still man, that's bad when
you might weigh one hundred and ten pounds, so can wet. Yes,
But so we get to Rick's and of course we

(02:45:11):
have lit up the cigarettes and I'm in a fog
about to choke. Yes, Rick gets in and Rick that's
where we begin our track to Atlanta, where we had
numerous stops so Billy could use the bathroom on the
side of the interstate. Yes, it was a lot of
fun to tell a limo driver of a very beautiful,
expensive limousine could you pull over where Willy could take
a wheels Yep, very impressive. And of course Willie a

(02:45:34):
lot of fun to ride through Atlanta, as he wanted
to show the International Sign for Disgust to several of
the passing Modernists right.

Speaker 3 (02:45:44):
Right out of the sun roof. At various times in Atlanta.

Speaker 6 (02:45:48):
Willie, who ain't never been nowhere, would give the people
with Atlanta the bird. Now we're right out the top
of the limo. We were getting very close to the
Atlanta airport when Willy, he says, do y'all think they
will let me get on the airplane with this? And
he pulls what has to be the longest pistol I
have ever seen out of his genis sauce.

Speaker 17 (02:46:09):
Yes, he does.

Speaker 6 (02:46:10):
Hey, it looked like one of them joke kind that
the flag would come out of it was so long,
the pearl handled chrome, n finest you could buy, very nice.
Shut And and Rick and I are thinking to ourselves
right then that, uh, you know, Willie's not gonna make
it on the airplane ever. Of course he's gonna be
picked up by security. And here's where we were smart.

(02:46:30):
We had built in a break just in case there
was a quag We booked the people going with us
on a separate airplane. Yes, we do so, Rick and
I figure we're gonna get him to the terminal, get
them checked in. Hey, won't never see him again.

Speaker 5 (02:46:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:46:44):
I didn't want to build them over. Yeah, well I
didn't want to be there. So I tell Willy, I
tell you what, Willy, take your pistol and head on out.

Speaker 3 (02:46:50):
But show it to the guy there at the gate.
That wouldn't matter of think.

Speaker 6 (02:46:55):
Now keep in mind, this is this is where Rick
Bird just gets totally disgusted. And if you see it,
disgusted Rick Bird, just you.

Speaker 17 (02:47:00):
Need to watch.

Speaker 6 (02:47:01):
Rick had had time and time again just just put
it off, put it off. We these folks had won.
We were trying our best to be accommodated too. And
there's nothing better than than you know, meeting listeners to
the show and you know, being able to share good
things with them and you know, fellowship with them. And
there's nothing worse than coming up on people like this, right, Yeah,
and the and these people I think there needs to

(02:47:23):
be a portant side note here didn't know who we were.
They just registered at the tile upon.

Speaker 3 (02:47:27):
Yeah, they they had no idea. Now what's taks to y'all?
All the giggles ain't never been nowhere?

Speaker 6 (02:47:36):
Yeah, And so I said, I said to I said
to Will, I said, look, I'm just gonna tell you
right now. I said, I'm gonna kid if you say
one more, I said, britty, so put out. He told
him this while he's holding a festival.

Speaker 3 (02:47:50):
I said, I'm gonna take that.

Speaker 19 (02:47:51):
That.

Speaker 3 (02:47:52):
All we're gonna see is the pearl handle.

Speaker 28 (02:47:56):
You know.

Speaker 6 (02:47:56):
Rick comes to his load. He's had all it can take.
So I to kill a contest winner who has a gut.

Speaker 3 (02:48:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:48:04):
Anyway, So we are at the airport. We drop them
at their terminal and hey, we're off and we're laughing.
We'll never see them again. Get on the airplane, have
a great flight. To Los Angeles, get there, get taxi,
go to the to the hotel that we're staying at.
We get there, and then, of course our question is hated,
WILLI and wand to make it?

Speaker 3 (02:48:24):
Yes, so we go.

Speaker 6 (02:48:25):
We meet the manager from the hotel and I mean,
we don't even get the full sentence. Now, sure did
our and they go the people from Alabama, the guy
who looks like Jesus.

Speaker 3 (02:48:39):
Wearing a rich red petty hat.

Speaker 6 (02:48:42):
Yes he's here, Yes, and he appears to have scuffed
knees and dirty boots.

Speaker 3 (02:48:51):
And has an empty holster. Yeah, yeah, that's him.

Speaker 6 (02:48:58):
So we uh, that's him, and it appears to be
walking rather funny. Uh there there, So stay with us staff.
So we go to our second plan, and that is

(02:49:20):
give them their prize money and kiss them goodbye.

Speaker 3 (02:49:23):

Speaker 6 (02:49:26):
And and and we called him over. I said, look, y'all,

Speaker 6 (02:49:32):

Here's a problem money, here's you playing tickets?

Speaker 6 (02:49:45):

in the day and and they're out eating at a
restaurant and we think, hey, this is working out there together.

Speaker 3 (02:49:53):
So we go out.

Speaker 6 (02:49:53):
I forgot where we went to Universal Studios or something.
We come back and our phone is ringing ringing. Now

edge of the bed, wearing his cowboy boots and box

beer out.

Speaker 1 (02:50:56):
They said, Lord.

mode now, I mean we got face pain out. We say,
all right, we'll get you tickets replaced. We call the airline.
We got them replaced for the next day. At four am.

(02:51:23):
We called a cab, we called the wake up service.
We were shipping them out. We've had it with them.
We are not dealing with these idiots anymore. Okay, they're
not going to run this trip for us. We We've
done everything we can to accommodate them, and all they
have done is screw it up.

Speaker 3 (02:51:38):
Yeah, and all their money's gone. I said, what do
you spend all your money on? It said beer? Like
that that was even a I mean there was even
a discussion about what it would go to.

got their tickets, we've got cab coming to them. Call coming.
So me and Rick go back out to see the
sights in Hollywood. Well, we come back in the phone's

Speaker 3 (02:54:07):
Right here, let's get into segment three of Willy and
Wanda Baba.

Speaker 6 (02:54:13):
We we just received our second call from Wanda. There's
no way to recap what's happening if you just joined
this story, bear with us. Yes, it's just it's too detailed.
It's just she has screamed in the phone. H Willie
tried to kill me and the laws got him. We
hustle upstairs. Yes, we find when we get there, the
manager of the hotel. Yes, we find Wanda, who has

(02:54:34):
been popped to the eye a couple of times. It
looks like unfortunately that is true.

Speaker 3 (02:54:40):
She is soaking wet.

Speaker 6 (02:54:43):
Yes, and I immediately go Wanda, what in the world
has happened here?

Speaker 3 (02:54:48):
Now?

Speaker 6 (02:54:48):
The hote Let me let me set the scene. The
hotel room is trash, trash, it is absolutely trashed.

Speaker 3 (02:54:54):
Jesus, Billy got mad.

Speaker 6 (02:54:56):
Willy got mad that many stuck my head down in
a toilet and tried to drown me.

Speaker 3 (02:55:04):
Which is a terrible situation.

Speaker 22 (02:55:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:55:06):
Look, Grant, look, we're not making lot of the violence
of this situation, but you have to understand what we
had been through. I mean this, this woman is not
to be blamed in any way, shape or form, but
let's face it, she's made some bad life decisions. Rick,
This is where the thing just gets absolutely bizarre. Yeah, okay, like.

Speaker 3 (02:55:26):
It ain't already right, So she's so wet from the toilet.

Speaker 6 (02:55:29):
She apparently the scuffle broke out and and Willie tried
to drown her in the toilet.

Speaker 3 (02:55:36):
She escaped, look and baba seriously.

Speaker 6 (02:55:39):
To Willy's credit, he did remove the beer from the
toilet before sticking her head in.

Speaker 3 (02:55:43):
Yes, show up, she apparently everywhere.

Speaker 6 (02:55:46):
She apparently escapes, gets out of the hotel room and
runs down the hall screaming. A maid sees this, a
maid runs and calls police. Right now, this is in
a Los Angeles Okay, let me set the timetable here.
This is about one month after the oj Simpson escapade

(02:56:08):
down the interstate. The state of California, i should say,
had just passed a law about abusing your significant other. Yes, okay, anymore,
And it was a rather stiff penalty for that. We
asked where had Willy gone. He had been taken to

(02:56:29):
the lapen. Yes, We asked the manager what was going on.
She explained this new law to us. She said like
the chief of police was a friend of hers. She
had talked to him on the phone and said that
Willie was going to jail for about twenty years.

Speaker 3 (02:56:48):
Now.

Speaker 6 (02:56:48):
Wanda at this point is just completely coming apart. She
doesn't want to testify against Willy and leave him in
California when this grand vacation at we're on comes to
an end.

Speaker 3 (02:56:59):
And she won't him back. Now, yes, right now, she
is wanting him back. Keiping mind, Willie is the boyfriend,
her husband's in jail. Her husband's already in jail.

Speaker 6 (02:57:07):
So the manager of the hotel explains to us, after
she has talked to the chief of police that it
doesn't matter what Wanda wants that Willie because of this
new law, because of the maid seeing him chase her
down the hall and threatening her, that's all they need.

(02:57:30):
It is a done deal. He ain't getting out. He
is going to stand trial in Los Angeles as a
test case for the new ojay law. Yes, now, keep
in mind, folks, this is us on a contest winner
we've taken to Los Angeles. Now at this point we
try to get one together together the best we can. Yes,

(02:57:52):
once again we call and get her airline tickets moved
up even further so we can ship her right on out. Yes,
we make plays again to have a cab pick her up.
Her called early, and then we had to call our
boss at that point and let him know that things
were totally out of control. Then comes the horrible call
back to Master Control to say, you know that little
contest that we've been really promoting and that Rick and

(02:58:14):
Bubba on right now, You're gonna love this?

Speaker 3 (02:58:17):
Can we tell you?

Speaker 7 (02:58:19):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (02:58:19):
I said, you know, we tell the whole story.

Speaker 6 (02:58:23):
And I told him, I said, well, the good news
is imagine the promo when we get back, if you will.

Speaker 3 (02:58:28):
Rick and Bubba.

Speaker 6 (02:58:29):
Yes, they carried two people to California and left one
of them there. All expenses paid for twenty years. Yes, yes,
we just say listener to Los Angeles for twenty years,
all expenses paid.

Speaker 20 (02:58:43):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (02:58:45):
So so you know we we we know now that
our contest winner is in orange jump shoot and shackled
and is in jail.

Speaker 3 (02:58:56):
Jump Orange jumpsuit and shackled. It's hard to say.

Speaker 6 (02:59:00):
Can your mouth Now now we're we are afraid that
Willy is going to somehow get out repercussion, come back
in some kind of drunken stupor and try to kill
us all. Now that is immediately what we're thinking. That's
what you think about for the next twenty four hours
of the of the vacation. We talked to the manager again.
She talked to the chief and said, I assure you
don't worry. Willy's in my jail now. I mean, we're

(02:59:23):
in talking La County, La County jail, the same one
ojay z in just a few just a few sails down. Yeah,
I say, one doll, want it, I'll be there. You
had oj you had Robert Downey Junior and our contest winner.
Now the next morning comes, we get Wanda, We make

(02:59:48):
sure that Wanda has shipped out, and we verify that
she is on the plane heading back. Yeah, all you
gonna send letters. We had a great counseling. I said, girl,
I said, girl, you got. We tried to talk to her.

Speaker 3 (02:59:59):
I said, you got to.

Speaker 6 (03:00:00):
Move on in your life, you got you got to
get these losers out of your life. You know, we
did the best we could give him the circumstances. Well,
she's gone, and Rick and I have another two days
to enjoy Los Angeles.

Speaker 3 (03:00:11):
And we had a ball.

Speaker 6 (03:00:12):
We went to Universal Studios, we went to see them
tape General Hospital, we went to this, we went to that.
We had a great time, and the running joke became
very sick on our part. Hey, what do you think
Willie's doing right now? We just you know, any time
he and I wonder what they did with the hat
that was crumpled up the corner of the hotel room.

Speaker 3 (03:00:31):
Yeah, I have to wonder.

Speaker 6 (03:00:33):
So in the empty in the empty holster empty now, baba.
Then it gets we finally get home and it gets
very bizarre.

Speaker 3 (03:00:42):
No, we're fixing the leaves. Our time is finally up.
We're on the airplane.

Speaker 6 (03:00:47):
The airplane is taxing down the runway, and we still
have this fear that some Los Angeles law yes, is
gonna get him out and they're gonna bring him to
the plane in an orange jumpsuit and shackles. Yes, now
you I mean are like scanning out the planet while
it's loaded, looking for anything. Sure enough, they shut the
plane up. We taxi down the runway to the plane

(03:01:10):
takes off and I look across the isle at Rick
and say, hey, reckon, what old Willy is doing right now? Yes, true,
that is true, and we figure, well, we'll never hear
from Willy again. But Willy came back and run is.

Speaker 17 (03:01:29):
Now.

Speaker 3 (03:01:29):
Look I'm I'm home.

Speaker 6 (03:01:32):
Some time later, yes, I'm approached by a member of
law enforcement and says.

Speaker 3 (03:01:37):
What do you know about Willy and said the last name?

Speaker 6 (03:01:41):
And uh, I said, well, now, of course, when we
got back, we were sworn to silence by our management
at the time.

Speaker 3 (03:01:47):
As a matter of fact, we were supposed to be
sworn to silence for life.

Speaker 6 (03:01:50):
I think, yes, of course, here we are telling you, yes, right, well,
but well look, this story had to be told, folks.
This is what we go through behind the scenes sometimes
that you don't realize, and you wonder why we get
a little legie.

Speaker 14 (03:02:01):
Yes, So.

Speaker 6 (03:02:05):
This guy wants to know the story, and I say, well,
I know part of it, and he says, I will
tell you my part if you will tell me years
because I know the story. After your part, I tell
him the exact same story you have been told. He said, well,
here's my part. Me and some other people that I
worked with. Was approached by Willie's family to go and

(03:02:28):
retrieve him from California. We called, got no answer, called,
got no answer. Finally, the district attorney in Los Angeles
agreed to meet us over dinner. We went, We had
to wine and dine him, and he agreed if we
would carry Willy to the plane as we suspected, in
an orange jumpsuit and shackles, that they would release him

(03:02:50):
to come back home, but if he ever even stepped
in California again, he would go immediately to jail for
twenty years.

Speaker 3 (03:02:59):
Gosh, this is our contest winner.

Speaker 6 (03:03:01):
They went out keep that mind, they guide him, and
they brought him back and that I passed that story
along to Rick. We thought, well, we'll never never that
was it, We'll never hear anymore about Willi and Wanda.
But it came up again, very very soon when we

(03:03:23):
come back the conclusion to the story of will and
Wanda and their trip to Los Angeles with Rick and Bubba.
If you're out there right now and you may win
a random drawing from this program, you're thinking to yourself,
will the next story be about me? Well, and we
sure hope not we've never been anywhere.

Speaker 3 (03:03:42):
Hopefully it won't. But yes, conclusion right now.

Speaker 2 (03:03:45):
Gonna Ricking Bubba, Ricking.

Speaker 32 (03:03:47):
Bubba, Thank you so much for tuning into the best
of Rick and Bubba's show.

Speaker 6 (03:04:02):
We make our way back for the final segment, the
conclusion of a story that was never to be told,
and it has been told today, the.

Speaker 3 (03:04:12):
Tale of Willie and Wonder. We have a return home.

Speaker 6 (03:04:16):
You have been told by someone at very high in
law enforcement that they had retrieved Willie, yes behalf of
his father from l A and we're bringing him back
to Alabama.

Speaker 3 (03:04:28):
And that's where we are now. Rick.

Speaker 6 (03:04:31):
The story ends just as a matter of fact, Christmas
a year or so back. It was the Christmas before
Hunter was born. Yes, I was all excited about being
a dad, and we were having a little Christmas party
at the house and a gentleman was there who I
didn't know before this party. But we got to talking

(03:04:51):
about in the big group about a father's love and
what a father will do for a child, and you
know what a great gift that they are.

Speaker 3 (03:04:59):
And yes, this guy says, hey says, I know a guy.
You won't believe what he had to do for his son.

Speaker 6 (03:05:06):
He had to fly out to Los Angeles and he
had to take the district attorney to dinner. He spent
about six hundred dollars on the meal just to get
his kid out of jail and bring him back here
to Alabama. And I perked up when I heard that story,
and I said, really, I said, his name wouldn't be

(03:05:26):
Willie would. He says, have you heard of that? I said,
not only did I hear it, I lived it, ma'am.
I said, but you know, it really ain't his fault,
you know why? And he said why, I said, cause
he ain't never been nowhere. And there's there's several there's

(03:05:54):
several side stories to this that will remain untold. We
won't tell what happened, right. I forgot back right with
none of that, so that, no, we can't tell me jail. No,
I just just seem let's just say, I mean a
lot of times you see a trend in people, and

(03:06:15):
sometimes I mean sometimes they make changes for the better,
and bless their heart, sometimes they head right off down
that uh very wide road.

Speaker 3 (03:06:22):
Is we're being told at the good Book.

Speaker 6 (03:06:24):
Yeah, yeah, some people uh just cannot get in line.
So well we'll but who knows maybe today things are
different for me.

Speaker 3 (03:06:31):
And and y'all. You don't know how it has heard
us not to be able to tell you that for
I don't know how many years. A number of years
has been.

Speaker 28 (03:06:38):
There's been many days that I spent most of the
lunch hour begging, yes, begging for this, but for this
story to be told.

Speaker 6 (03:06:46):
That the one of the side notes of the story
that I that I must tell because I think you
all could relate to it. The uh Willy Willy worked
at a at a large plant and and it was
so large that it had its own weekly newspaper. And

(03:07:06):
Willy had showed us on on the way to the airport,
in between flipping birds out the window, and his his
picture proudly on the front page, and it said Willie
wins trip to California. Now, I can't I can't help
but imagine what his coworkers think when you know, they
came back and well, Willy was never there, and they go, man,

(03:07:30):
that must have been quite a trip.

Speaker 3 (03:07:32):
Yeah, to this day they probably asked, just how long
was she going to l a with ricking?

Speaker 7 (03:07:36):
But what was that?

Speaker 6 (03:07:36):
A permanent gig with the show? It it was, you know,
it was a it was a horrifighting trip and we
survived it, and who knows what happened to I want
to know what they're doing, both of them were doing
right now.

Speaker 3 (03:07:48):
You know we have a saying uh no, let's not know.
Let this thing sink now.

Speaker 28 (03:07:55):
Just for my own amusement, I just wish I could
look over and let's let's face it on.

Speaker 6 (03:08:00):
When you're watching the Friday of the thirteenth series, you go, gosh,
I hope he gets killed eventually.

Speaker 3 (03:08:03):
Yeah, if you really don't want him to keep burning analogy.

Speaker 6 (03:08:07):
Folks, that is that is one of the little behind
the scene things that we go through here at the
Rick and Bobba Show. And there's there's other strange events.
That has to be the day I'm weirdest. So are Yeah,
Well you know, and I now call my wife and
the break and so I don't know when i'll be
home today. I'll probably be in various meetings, one right
after another of it. Well, you know a lot of

(03:08:30):
different type characters, and one of my favorite are people
who stutter.

Speaker 3 (03:08:35):
Yes, now I don't make fun of that. I laugh
with them because I love it.

Speaker 6 (03:08:40):
They have to and like I say, I have my
own to some degree problem with that, as does everybody
on the show with some type of speech impediment.

Speaker 3 (03:08:48):
Don't make me get down one to say buick for you.

Speaker 6 (03:08:50):
As a matter of fact, when I was pulling off
bits while we're gone, that bit has been queued up
and ready. Yes, when all of us are on here
and we're revealing to our audience of our speech, I
can't even say what speech.

Speaker 3 (03:08:59):
And because it's hard for me to say that.

Speaker 6 (03:09:01):
Well, we had a gentleman come up to us at
a remote one time and he said, are y'all ricking.

Speaker 33 (03:09:07):
Bah bah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
ah shoot bubba, And I said, uh, yes we are.
And he said, uh, man, I really love you guys.
Shut you shut you shut you shut shut ah sho show.

Speaker 3 (03:09:24):
And he would say.

Speaker 6 (03:09:27):
When he would stutter, he would have to say ah shoot,
and then he would be cleared.

Speaker 3 (03:09:31):
To break loose. And uh we got tickled.

Speaker 6 (03:09:34):
And I said, Sir, I said, I don't think you
realize how funny that this could be. I said, if you,
if you would come and go the air, well, yes,
I said, people will forget about mail Tilly's yes.

Speaker 3 (03:09:46):
And he said what I'd like to. But I I
just sometimes when I you know, I get around a
lot of people, I get kind of uh in bab
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah ah.
Shoot embarrassed and uh, I mean I was down on
all fours because I just couldn't.

Speaker 26 (03:10:03):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (03:10:04):
I remember Bubba crawled over to where I was and said,
he said, this guy is going to take us to
number one if he will, if he will start being
on the show. I mean, you've heard, You've heard Tony
on the show. We've had other people in the past
that have been on the show, and you know, we
all have fun, you know, making fun of ourselves. And
I think he was up for that, but he just
we couldn't get him to come on the show and
be a recurring character. And he had one of her

(03:10:25):
one of our T shirts, and he just, uh he
said he didn't want to be in the spotlight and
wanted to fade back. Before he left, he said, well,
you signed this shut shut she shut you shut.

Speaker 3 (03:10:34):
You shoot shirt.

Speaker 6 (03:10:41):
No, look, Bubba, I feel like I'm talking to the guy.
I mean, he would do that. And he would laugh
right with and in order to correct himself, he would.

Speaker 3 (03:10:49):
Scream, oh shoot. And then it would be if we were.

Speaker 6 (03:10:52):
You know, we were trying to give him a little
rhythm to get going, you know, but he I mean,
you would know what he was going to say, right
and he would get hung up, you know, and and
and you you're just trying to help him out to
say it, you know, and you're like, I, you know,
trying to say, boy, I tell you that God answers
the phone that to.

Speaker 3 (03:11:14):
Shoot, don't want he does a great.

Speaker 5 (03:11:19):
Jump.

Speaker 6 (03:11:25):
So so look, and what's so funny is to watch
people because you know what they're what what what? What
we're trying to say, and you watch people's mouths start going,
start moving, you know, trying to finish the sentence. And
but this aweshoot thing he has was like the you know,
was just like mel Tillius. And his ability to sing

(03:11:46):
without stuttering his offshoot was just like some kind of magic,
you know, and it would take him where we needed
to go. If he's out there listening today or you
know him, yes, tell him to reconsider because we have
we have tested this bit on some people, and I
on think it would be huge have him on just
over the telephone, will be.

Speaker 3 (03:12:03):
Have him on locations? Say hey, uh, well, where are
you at? Shoot? I'm at the mall.

Speaker 10 (03:12:09):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (03:12:11):
What wouldn't that just be God be precious? I reckon, Um,
I'm standing here at the guy shoot goll Aria. I mean,
I can't do it as good as you do it,
but you know what I mean. Wouldn't that be funny?

Speaker 3 (03:12:25):
He said?

Speaker 6 (03:12:26):
I sure do love it when you guys throw them
ba ba ba ba ba ba biscuits.

Speaker 3 (03:12:34):
So if y'all know him, let's make another run.

Speaker 28 (03:12:37):
Please he call into high school football football show real
quick to give a score.

Speaker 3 (03:12:44):
Please, bather from the loan?

Speaker 1 (03:12:46):

Speaker 5 (03:12:47):
What time.

Speaker 3 (03:12:51):

Speaker 6 (03:12:55):

school score boards we heard on radio stations.
