And that does far us up, Yes it does.

Speaker 5 (02:11):
And I have got so much today for you. But
there is a story that is Rick Burgess. I mean
because it has to do with the airlines and it's
a serious story, but it's a can't have nothing. And
imagine you on the flight story too. So last night
you have a Delta Airlines flight that's going from Utah

(02:33):
to Amsterdam and right over Saint Paul area, they hit
turbulence and it starts throwing people out of their seats,
broken bones, people flying everywhere. Finally get it on the
ground and ms and first responders are waiting at the

(02:53):
gate that twenty five are in the hospital right now,
twenty five and being evaluated. Some have broken bones, people
from the turboe of them being thrown out of their
seats all over the plane. Now, imagine you're on that
flight and that.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Happened right now.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
I don't know how in the world you can avoid that,
but apparently, Yeah, that's That's one of the big headlines
today is that the fire department there in Minneapolis says
that they met the flight at the gate and evaluated
passengers and crew, and twenty five passengers had to be
transported to local hospitals for evaluations, some with possible broken bones.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Well, then I'm going to ask that question because I
remember one time thinking that that could not be avoided.
Now this was on a charter plane, only to be
told that what happened to us could have been avoided.
And I had a whole different attitude after that. Yeah,
not a good one, but I think I kept that
to myself, right, Yeah, But anyway, so I want to know,

(03:59):
because I know there's different elevations they can move now,
they have to have permission, you know, the TI round
twenty five in the hostel has to approve that. And
I have been on planes. We all have where the
pily says, now, look, you know, y'all can start moving around.
But when I tell you to sit back down, sit
back down, because I know ahead on our journey we
are going to have some turbulence. But normally the commercial

(04:19):
airlines try to avoid turbulence that breaks people's bonds. Yeah,
and throws people all over the plane. As far as
just normal, I'm assuming.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
And I don't know this now, I know a lot
of people, Hey, look, and I'm guilty of this too. Hey,
you know before the seat belts can be unbuckled. Sometimes
you loosen it and you unbuckle it, you know, because
everything you're up and you're fine. But I don't know,
I don't know if this was a Hey, the seat
belt light's not on. Y'all are good? You know, because
how you getting thrown around the plane? If you had

(04:49):
your seat belt on, I would think, you know, you
might get slung around the seat. But it had to
divert to Saint Paul Airport where they landed, so it
was obviously pretty bad, bad enough for them to divert.

Speaker 6 (05:01):
Oh.

Speaker 7 (05:01):
Yeah, they're headed to Amsterdam.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, they got twenty five people on there and need
to go to the hospital.

Speaker 6 (05:05):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
So it may be, huh, it may be that this
turbulence surprised them. Yeah, it may be that everybody was
told like you said, because I've been I mean, I
just had a flight not long ago where I was told,
here's our journey, here's how things look about. This far
into the journey, we're going to hit some turbulence. So

(05:27):
when I tell you to sit down and put your
seatbelt on, you know, for safety sake, you need to
do that. People could have disregarded instruction. But it sounds
like turbulence. This bad was not expected. No, no, that's
what it sounds, and it's bad. I'm glad they're safe.
There's people hurt. But then I think about can't have nothing.

Speaker 5 (05:45):
So if I'm flying from Utah to Amsterdam, it's an
international flight, obviously I'm going there. It could be I've
saved up, I'm getting away, I'm going to see someone,
and now I'm in Saint Paul and I'm in the hospital.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
And I got thrown all forearms. Yeah no, yeah, yeah,
ultimate and you know, you know of chrise, you know,
get the bell ready, uh I have. I have gone
through Amsterdam a couple of times, so that also could
be that's a hop like like I know, when we
go to Africa, you go sometimes to Amsterdam. You stop,

(06:18):
you take a break, and then Amsterdam yeah yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:21):
And it's a good it's a good spot to land
and then then you go from there.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yeah, that was the one that it wasn't Amsterdam, but
one and the other one. Sometimes sometimes you hit Germany.
Sometimes they'll take you through different places, but that time
and you know how you sometimes you just get something
unexpected from our wives. But you realize they've been around
us so much they probably have picked it up through ismosis. Yea.

(06:46):
And they couldn't get our plane. We landed in Germany
and it was just a hop we weren't we weren't
staying in Germany. And they said they were going to
send a bus out to get us, to drive us
into the terminal. And sure, he said, am I the
only one that when a German accident says everybody get
on the bus. It makes me. Yeah, we were sending

(07:08):
a bus not to where it was, just taking you
to the terminal. And uh. And I looked at sir
and I said, maybe that's a good one. That is,
now you've upset these German people, but that's a good one.
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
All right, I'm reading from Fox thirteen out of Utah.
It says that the flight attendants were in the aisles
with serving carts and the plane hit a sudden thing,
a tournament's car, and it dropped and sending the carts

(07:40):
and and the flight attempts and everything in the air.
Oh yeah, and and things just started from there about
we had everybody, says every one of them flew and
hit the ceiling. The beverage carts also flew into the air.
Its items were being flown all.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Over the place.

Speaker 5 (07:59):
Of course, everybody's covered with liquids now, and some more
reports are coming out as to why some got hurt too.
It's because of those those items and the carts being over.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
That car's heavy. Hey, that car's heavy. Oh yeah, that
cars are real heavy. So that yeah, so it was
it was unexpected because I've even seen them stop food
and beverage service with expected turbine.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
Yeah, because you would think, yeah, they wouldn't be up serving,
so they No.

Speaker 8 (08:26):
I think we forget sometimes, you know, we get our
our our our screens and our little comfy and it's
not that comfy, but you know we are snacks and
where we got this stuff in the pocket and they're
bringing drinks by. I think we forget sometimes that we're
going over five hundred miles an hour, you know, five
hundreds real fast.

Speaker 7 (08:45):
You're one hundred on the interstate. You know how that feels.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Yeah, And a lot of you that are do this
for a living, you know that just the just the
slightest plane drop is you feel it major And when
that thing drops it's a major action inside that plane.

Speaker 8 (09:01):
And clouds are like bumps and roads right there really
are like a bump in the road. Especially, I was
at a small planet with a buddy of mine and
it's unbelievable how much of a bump in the road
those clouds are when they go through it.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (09:15):
A passenger on the flight talked to the pilot after
after it landed.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (09:20):
This was not confirmed with Delta officials, but the the
the passenger is quoted as saying, the pilot told me,
we plunged a thousand feet. Hey, it's got no one.
I got a quote from the pilot. Damn, that's that's
all they get.

Speaker 8 (09:40):
They did provide every passenger with complimentary new underwear.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Somebody said, you ever been hitting the head by fly
a flying mountain? You can plow? You can't have a thing. Yeah,
we'll be back more of the Rick Burgess Show. We
just getting st right after this.

Speaker 1 (10:02):

And you are welcome. Thank you for being with us
on another Rick Burgess show. So much more to do
coming up later today, and we want your participation as
well on screen phone calls, which has become a huge
hit on the show here today for some of the
strangest reasons. So that's coming up. A couple of questions

(10:50):
out of hay Birds today, and we'll walk through the
stories of the day. Are you anybody in your family
or maybe you getting to the point we're stepping over
in to a tub. Could be could be problems? I mean,
you know the dreaded broken hip. Let me tell you,
when you know that you're getting a little bit older,
is I actually was walking with the group, you know,

(11:11):
last Saturday, learning about fruit trees, and I'm walking along
with someone around my age, and you know what the
discussion is, the advancements they've made on hip replacement. Oh right,
that's a lot better topics. May be careful, come down
the hill. Don't worry, I've got my new hip. Really,
How was that, you know what? Not so bad? You know,
they've made a lot of advancements on that. They sure
have there, Yeah, and I thought, so that's the conversation

(11:33):
we're having. But you know a lot of times that's
one of the things that takes people out. They fall
in the bathroom and break their hip. Yeah, oh yeah,
So why don't you get a safe step walk in
tub from our good friends out of Tennessee. We'll get
you sixteen hundred dollars off. They can transform any bath
space into a place you know that that is treacherous
into a blessing and a place of relaxation and rejuvenation

(11:57):
with a safe step walk in tub and they got
all kinds of cool features they can add to it.
Usually they can do the work in one day, so
they're not all up in your business for a long
period of time. They're also gonna give you a free
shower package if you're part of this program. So sixteen
hundred dollars off mentioned this show, a free shower package,
no obligation on the free consultation. Hear what they have

(12:18):

in the break, that's not doable. You've you've brought some
apparatus in here, and you went and brought it out
and started using it and then said to me that,
please don't make fun of me about this. Well, I'm sorry.
I can't commit to that. I cannot give you that commitment. Weird, look, Stretcher,

(13:01):

Speaker 5 (14:08):
We don't see I tell you you try to do it.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Right, well, but we don't see the distance people as
world class athletes that we do sprinters and jumpers, do

What do you do? I run long distance? Like our jog?
You marathons. They're not Josh.

Speaker 7 (15:17):
They're not going to say like I jog, I run
a long way.

Speaker 5 (15:22):
Distance is no problem. I don't care whatever level. See
to me, if you run track in college, at any level,
that's impressed.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
I'm just saying that event does not as you know.
If it's like I played football, then you asked me
what I did and I said, well I was a kicker.
Immediately you're like, okay, well that's different.

Speaker 7 (15:41):
It's different. It's like anyway they used their they're jogging.
They're jogging. Is our sprinting by the way they're sprinting.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Yeah, yeah, they're.

Speaker 7 (15:50):
Sprinting at our sprint speed for miles and miles and miles.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Is simply talking about how we normally see it. I'm
not saying it should be that way. I'm talking about
how life.

Speaker 7 (15:57):
It is, you'retting fair.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
They run around to try and run around the track forever,
and then also that bell goes off and they have
another gear. When I'm when I'm Johnny Lightning in my
events coming up, you can't go get a hot dog
and come back and I'm still doing you. No, that's true,
Johnny Line, you missed it. Yeah, good point. That's how
fast I am. Yeah. True. Well, but if I'm a

But Cole remember Cole Hawker from the US, from the US,
that real name.

Speaker 7 (16:35):
Yeah, this guy right here, Remember he won. That was awesome,
That was exciting. That was a long distance thing in
the Olympics this last time around, Hawker.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
So you're talking about you guy as excited about Hawker
as you did Hussein Bolt.

Speaker 5 (16:48):
Okay, all right, well I think if you I think
if you put those side by side, I understand what
you're saying.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Putting the side by side as well.

It looks like him without.

Speaker 5 (17:16):
Well, anyway back to the calf and the Achilles and
the calf are all tied together. And and some have
suggested that that possibly that Toby Toby suggested her and
a lot of people, well a doctor, and and then
Toby said, well, I'll.

Speaker 7 (17:31):
Tell you what.

Speaker 5 (17:32):
I've experienced some of it too. And when we had it,
Weed stretched that calf and it helps loosen it up.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
You sound just like that's the only impression he does.
He does, well, yeah, well you know what you need
to get. I saw it. That old lady on the
commercial has got them little petals in front of her
on the floor, just saying that it's not in front of
her chair, that one of them.

Speaker 5 (17:51):
It has nothing to do with the Achilles, buddy, that
it's a stationary bike, right, No, just little it's nothing.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
But you don't think my parent have it? Yes, that
has nothing to do with it. That that what you try?
You even come up with that you try it for?

Speaker 10 (18:08):
What?

Speaker 3 (18:08):
And why? I help your may help it. But if
we go to break out, I'm gonna ask don't go
get that. That was ridiculous. It is hard. I hope
we can talk you into anything that's a.

Speaker 7 (18:20):
Good cap stretch of speedy. I'm glad you're doing it, buddy,
and running into sport.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
Oh it is, There's no doubt about that. It's also
a way to get away from things.

Speaker 7 (18:28):
Yes, yes, way to fleet right? Are you go?

Speaker 3 (18:31):
Speedy?

Speaker 7 (18:32):
Looking good? Buddy? Oh my cameras messed up and doing

You're gonna face us, not face away.

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

Speaker 3 (18:48):
Okay, I want to talk to you about the cover
up on Blaze TV. Have you seen it yet? All right,
let me feel you. Okay. It's a hard hitting docu
series exposing how the federal government and public health agencies
lied to I mean, guys, the more we're finding out
about how we were lied to during the pandemic with COVID,
it's really troubling. We were lied about where the virus

(19:12):
came from. Weren't allowed to suggest that it came from,
you know, where they actually study these things. We were
not allowed to question lockdowns or the origin of those
the vaccine narrative how big tech helped to cover all
that up. This was not public health, sadly, and that
we've all lost confidence, haven't we and public health officials

(19:35):
And I hate that. I don't like that feeling, but
we have because it wasn't public health. It was information warfare.
So if you missed the first four episodes of the
Acclaim series, you can binge watch them right now. And
you want to do that because episode five just dropped explosive.
Have you seen episode five? It's called muck Raker. It

(19:55):
dives into the pandemic industrial complex, showing how fouch Burk's
and government bureaucrats work with social media platforms to silence
anyone who wanted to tell the truth. This isn't just
about censorship. This goes as far as the lot mind
control in doctrination. So watch all five episodes now. Fauci

her in my sleep night before.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
What happened with that.

Speaker 5 (24:45):

I don't know what was going on last night. You
kept like moving around and and and everything else and
kept waking me up. I'm like serious, and she said yeah,
she said, and you never really snore, but you were
like and then and then she said, and you never

(25:09):
really do that. And then you slap me in the
face fighting something, and of course she she was okay.
It didn't like hurt or anything. She said, I couldn't
tell if you were slinging your arm or you were
slapping something. And because if you know, if you missed
that yesterday Terry texted me you hit me in the
middle of the night. But she said that's not normal.
So it was just that that one night. Yeah, she

(25:34):
had a hard time sleeping in a catcher's mask. Yeah,
but uh but so so anyway, She's like, but just
it was just a weird night.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
She said.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
You don't really ever snore like that or whatever. You
were really fighting and struggling, like the night before the battle.
Testonation says, it possible you were fighting off Larry.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
It could be. It could be.

Speaker 5 (25:51):
And by the way, Larry and we have so much today,
Larry did text to me, I bet and he said,
bless his sweat eat little heart. Ask Rick, is he
still wanting to come over for his vacation to there?

Speaker 3 (26:07):
And and this is where.

Speaker 5 (26:08):
You get in trouble and then you too, because sometimes
we'll be talking to him and you're like, oh, yeah,
I might come over. So he takes that serious, does
he really? Yeah, So your vacation, George, and be sweet.
He's listening and watching. No I'm not saying.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
So you very kindly want to tell him that you're
not going to be coming over. Yeah, I'm not yea
not this time. Text to me.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
One of the many times I got a text from
him yesterday, he asked it, ask please ask Rick if
he's going to come over for his vacation.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
No, sure, and I have have a great getaway planned
with each other, and I want to write I'm smack
dab in Dublin. I'm going to guess that there would
be just a tinge of disappointment with her from that.
So you're not going to have other plans? Yeah, I'm saying.
She would be like, well, you didn't tell me about that.
We already had other Planskaya See when you make little
side jokes and everything, he takes it serious. I didn't

(27:00):
know that. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (27:01):
Yeah, So if you want to talk to him now,
to Greg, what is your plans for your vacations?

Speaker 3 (27:05):
I'm not gonna be gonna make it to Dublin. Okay,
where they could, but not this time. Adler.

Speaker 7 (27:11):
A lot going on, a lot going on.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
You got some exercises, exercises to do. Imagine this. Imagine
imagine me sitting down with Sherry. I said, I said, hey,
let me tell you what do you think. What do
you think about a road trip to Dublin. She be well,
I'd love to go back to Ireland. You know, we
didn't go to Northern Ireland last time we were there. No, No, Dublin, Georgia.
Not quite as far right far but not quite as right.

(27:35):
So there's no need to fly. We'll just drive it. Yeah,
so okay, so that's good. So Larry, you know now
to make it. He was making arrangements that y'all thought
y'all might be coming over. Yes, no need to fix
that room for Sharry and me. We're not gonna be
able to come to Dublin for our vacation. So but
thank you for the invitation. It's kind of you to offer.
There you go like that, very kind.

Speaker 8 (27:56):
My brother uh went with his family. He lives in Birmingham.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Here.

Speaker 8 (28:01):
He went with his family to the East coast, Georgia coastline.
Was it Taebe Island or Tybee Island?

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (28:09):
In there yeah, Tybee Island.

Speaker 8 (28:12):
And on the way is the exit to Dublin, Georgia.
My brother, My brother said, Speedy drove so so so
so far. I can't believe how far Speedy drove.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
I've been through you, I've been through.

Speaker 7 (28:28):
Props, respect, respects.

Speaker 5 (28:30):
You know what, you can't drive the Tuscaloosa for for midget.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
And you want me to drive vacation. I'm gonna drive
the Tuscaloosa. Yeah, why not just driving the Tescalution. You're
driving Tescalution for midget wrestler.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
That hals But I would rather it be it like Talladega.
Everything can't be within five hours, I said, where I
would like it.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
You might need to live in a metro if that's
what you want. What Greg wants is the next NASCAR
event in Talladiga, the feature in the infield that now
now you got so now you got to walk to
the end of his drivel and everything before I set
them up. I turned the pass you could. That'd be awesome.
Let me tell you something. The people come from far
and wide. Oh look, we're right in the heart of it.

(29:12):
You know what, somebody from Wellington would make that trip.
Oh buddy, we pulled some feed mine all the way
into Cedar Town, Georgia. O.

Speaker 5 (29:18):
You know that abandoned trailer that you see to the
right when you come down your road. What remember we
talked about it a while back. Oh that they yeah,
put the take over that area. Oh they somebody built
a house in there. It looks nice. Oh really, Oh yeah,
by the way, super nice. Let me tell you that
is hilarious.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
Somebody said, yes, Rick what better way to spend a
vacation than sleep and get a cool Chris seventy eight degrees. Yeah,
that'd be all so hot, so so very hot.

Speaker 5 (29:45):
So that's what he wanted to know if you were coming,
because they were gonna go ahead and turn the window
unit on.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Now, okay, so it would be get.

Speaker 5 (29:51):
Because they turned that on and closed the door and
the room felt nice.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
But you now you walk out in the hall, its
it slaps you all right now, Look, I want you
to be straight with now. Even with that window unit,
was it was it cool enough? It was okay.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
I didn't wake up sweating, okay, but you know I
like it cold when I slept again, I've already asked this,
but I won't know again. How many hours did you sleep?
Did you get any sleep? It was one of those
nights when I think I slept, but I don't feel
like I did. I don't, maybe most all for forty
five minutes to an hour.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
It's not a dig on them, it's just being somewhere
you've never been, spend the night away as an adults.
The listener's house.

Speaker 5 (30:27):
I think I might have them over to our house though,
and have them sleep at our house when they come over, that.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
Would be that'd be great that way, they would love
the dog.

Speaker 7 (30:35):
Yeah, yeah, eye for an eye kind of thinking.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
Yeah, you know it's different. That's when you get somebody back.
Oh yeah, this is yeah. Well, it's gonna be a
little cold in there. Forums. They can have to bring
a jacket. Where are they gonna put the shirt.

Speaker 7 (30:49):
It's gonna be seventy four, so it's gonna be cold
for them.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
Y'all bring your hoodies now it's gonna be sixty nine
or seventy or something like that.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
This is the Rick Burdgers Show. Are you following the
Daily Archive podcast? Follow the Daily Rick Merger Show podcast?

(31:20):
No where you get podcasts? I never a minute of
the Daily Show.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Hanging out together again today, thank you for being with
US America from text Nation. So let me ask you guys,
and I think we've talked about this before, So what
do you guys keep the thermostat on when you guys
are sleeping? He said, I had an old man from

(31:52):
church say I need to keep mine at seventy eight.
But that will never happen. Seventy eight No way. Ah,
this is because of my wife.

Speaker 5 (32:02):
Plus you have to coordinate it with the one upstairs
because they's a part of the house that shares both
units heat and cold. The room anyway, I put it
on seventy one and leave.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
It and it's good too. Hot. Well, I mean I
would go seventy six, but you know women get cold. Yeah,
well seventy one works good for us. I will tell
you that. You know, a game changer on Hey I'm
cold all the time was menopause. Yeah, them hot flash,
them hot flash real thing. That was one of the

(32:34):
thing I remember thinking, okay, baby, i'm cold. Now that
you reuse how far you got to go for me
to be cold? Right right? Yeah? And so so we
we actually keep our room really cold.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
Yes, we do too. At our old house, we didn't
have to keep it as cold, I think because of
that that foam air tight insulation.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
Well.

Speaker 5 (32:56):
Uh, and so we're now at night, we're like sixty
seven seven.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
I'm six. It would be even for me sixty seven
on what the way mindset, that would be freezing. Now,
sixty seven is right, We're either sixty seven or sixty five.
We're said we will drop, We'll drop sixty five.

Speaker 5 (33:14):
Yeah, and then we get up and move and we
quickly send it back up. But at night, the question
at about seven o'clock every night is have you turned
it down?

Speaker 3 (33:23):
I get that too, same thing. I've even heard it.
Have you ever heard the even in the night, like
if you dozed off before you wanted to Yeah, and
like your wife realized you went up to go to
the bathroom and you hear from the darkness, what's your
set on? And you know you got over it and
you're like, oh wow, we're sitting here at seventy no one,
we're hot, right, and drop it down?

Speaker 7 (33:40):
Yeah, sixty seven. I gotta go sixty seven. And I usually,
if it's not an extremely hot time of year, I'll
try to crank it up to seventy two during the day,
save some cash. You know, you don't need it that
cold during.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
The day, and all that during the day is different.

Speaker 7 (33:53):
And but now y'all with my I got high ceilings
in my house. Yeah, and I have an old ac.
I have to just leave it at sixty seven and
it gets up to like seventy three, seventy four in
my house because it's fighting the ninety Yeah, and it's
I mean, I've got fans trying to circulate air. It's crazy,

(34:14):
it's unfortunate. That's a bad thing about having a high ceiling.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
Well, I don't know. I don't even remember it being
planned on purpose, because I know it was. I don't
recall this, you know, because the house we've been living
in for the last twenty two years was it started
like they were going to try to build it for us.
We only moved like, you know, ten houses in our
neighborhood because they said we're building some new houses. We
run a really old house. And then finally we joined

(34:39):
it already in progress and we decided, okay, yeah, we
do need a bigger house. So it's not like we
custom built it or anything, but we did try to
get it, you know, the way we wanted it. But
for some the way it all laid out is what
you were talking about, Greg, Which helps is our bedroom
operates on its own unit just about there's not hardly

(34:59):
any thing. Yeah, so you can really near it now.
Oh yeah yeah that that that that was real good.
Yeah I can handle that. And so so but we
go we go cold. Now we like you said, we
don't have it that way while we're living our lives
during the day. But to get in the bed and
get under the cover and be snuggly bumpkins. We take
it down cold. Yeah, yeah, well I love it cold. Yeah,

(35:23):
I can't sleep it's not cold. No, Now I get
all hot. Yeah. Well, just like the other night when
the power went off. That's the first thing my mind
starts saying, their conditions not on now, And I thought,
you won't be along with it. And then myself said
back to me, you can be hot here in a minute.
And I wouldn't even hot yet, but I started getting
I started thinking about it. Yeah. Yeah. Then then I
threw a leg out. Once I throw a leg at.
Oh yeah, I'll do that. Okay, cold a little it helps,

(35:44):
It helps a little bit. Now I'm on the side
of the bed where the vent is blowing on me. Okay,
which is good. That is good, except if you get
into one of these arctic blasts. Because I cannot stand heat.
The heat dries out my nose makes my nose, yeah,
so it dries out everything stuff. I cannot stand when
the heat.

Speaker 7 (36:04):
Something dry as a desert.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Literally, I hate it inside our.

Speaker 7 (36:08):
House with the heats going.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
I'd rather just sleep and just but you know, when
you get into these arctic blasts, though, my goodness, Rick,
you can't just lay down not put any you know,
that's dangerous. How it is dangerous? Right, you can't get
up on the night look up at your thermostatus is
fifty one. That's not good.

Speaker 8 (36:24):
My parents have the concrete foundation with the radiating heat.

Speaker 7 (36:29):
Floors or whatever you know I'm talking about.

Speaker 8 (36:31):
And so it circulates hot water or glack call or
something like that, and literally the foundation of their house
is warm and the heat rises from there.

Speaker 7 (36:41):
And man, it's really nice because it doesn't dry out.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
I mean, oh no, that's so much better.

Speaker 8 (36:44):
It doesn't dry out your face so much. My goodness,
I struggle bad during the winter.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
Oh have you ever been laying and in my bed
if the heat some We've even tried to putting those
things on the shoots it straight out where it didn't
throw up on the bed. But it still get you,
you know, and you're sitting there and you're like, man,
that is dry heat? Is it me right in the face?
I hate that.

Speaker 8 (37:01):
Yes, I have to run a dehumidifier during the swampy
summer months. I have to run a rehumidifier during the
dry winter months.

Speaker 7 (37:11):
Back to your parents have fragile I'm just I'm just
a candy.

Speaker 5 (37:14):
I love when I can catch an episode of This
Old House. Have you ever seen one of those installed?
What your parents have? How they put it in when
they're building foundation. Everything's pretty cool. Yeah, it's pretty neat.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Yeah. I've heard of your obviously heating blankets. Never heard
of a cooling blanket. Somebody says they now have that
on Amazon.

Speaker 11 (37:35):
Okay, that's okay, Okay, Yeah, because I'm listening, don't don't
you guys agree if you have a power outage in summer,
heat is your biggest problem.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
I can pretty much handle anything. It's the fact that
your house gets so hot, so hot.

Speaker 5 (37:55):
Terry said the other day that jac was walking around
with a hoodie on, and she was like, what's wrong back?

Speaker 3 (38:01):
You know the man, it's cold up in this house.
I was saying, We're I like, no, it feels pretty good. No,
it feels good a hoodie on. To me, temperature is
crucial for me. Yeah, I'm very, very very much affected
by if I go into a place or I'm sitting
anywhere on what the temperature is highly affected. Yeah, don't

(38:22):
like the temperature not to be right now. Sometimes you
don't have a choice, but it's miserable. Yeah, I remember,
I remember with you, and I was so thankful. I
was so thankful. I hate to say that that I
wasn't there. Sherry and and the boys, or at least
two of the boys went on s l U something
student leadership university whatever thing and they went like and

(38:44):
it was a great trip. They went to London and
they went to Normandy and all that. But they said,
you know, the Europeans, they don't they don't struggle with
the heat as much as we do all the time,
so they're not really prepared for it. And they went
and it was one of the hottest summers they'd had
in a long time. And the fact that they said
everywhere they went was not prepared for that, with like
air conditioning stuff and like open windows is all you had.

(39:06):
They said, it was like bacon hot. Miserable. Yeah, sometime
I can't have nothing. They went trying to trip like that,
it's everything. They went in trying to hear some speaker.
That was some speaker and they went in the in
the room had no a C. And the windows were
closed and it was like a thousand wants that and
people were getting up sweating just trying to open windows,
old windows. It wasn't open. Shirt stuck to them and

(39:28):
to me, look pitstain pits.

Speaker 5 (39:33):
Whenever we have our grandson River with us, he loves
the windows down. He just loves it these it's hot
Alabama summers, can't and it's ninety some degrees.

Speaker 3 (39:42):
He's like, Pops, just roll the windows down. I'm like, kid,
night and it's just it's like, you know, a dragon
breathing on you because you're right down the road this camera.
I had a truck that didn't have air. What and
I and that wasn't probably in the nineties. Yep, Yeah,
it didn't have air. That's where we come with it.

(40:03):
That's rough. Yeah, top of the hour.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 7 (40:14):
Welcome to the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 12 (40:21):
Devoy some reason for another reason, lighting up Francis.

Speaker 7 (40:32):
Here we go.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
Here we go, America, brand new Iour, thanks for being
with us, Speedy, Greg Adler all here. We've already had
a blast the first hour catching on the archive today
if you missed it for still to come as we
move forward on the program today from the text Nation
to start the hour, a dilemma that they would like

(40:53):
our help with. Heyburg Heyburg using that off the text Nation,
I like it. My company gave everyone a quarterly bonus
early out of error. Underline early means they get one normally.
I'll come up later in the text. Now they want
us to sign a bank draft for them to recover
the funds over the month of August. But here's the kicker.

(41:16):
This same bonus is coming to us in October. Do
I sign the bank paper to recover the funds? Well,
this is one of those things I think you just
have to walk through what is right if you didn't
have that money coming to you and the company, Because
I know probably the way most companies operate is cash

(41:39):
flow is crucial, and they have a game plan about
their cash flow that would include this bonus be given
in October, not now. So it probably has across the
company affected their cash flow, and it probably is a
legitimate issue. I understand that you don't like giving a
bank draft to the company, but if you're money comes in,

(42:01):
I guess it doesn't come in on a draft. They
wouldn't be asking you to give a one. I think
you can't keep money that's not yours. And you're like, well,
even though you're gonna get it later, even though you're
gonna get it later, you need to get it when
the company has planned to give it because, trust me,
their accountants and the way they have the company cash
flow laid out, it's a totally separate budget. Yeah. Yeah,

(42:23):
you can't. Yeah, you can't keep that now you're gonna
I mean it's the right. It hurts, but no, you can't.
I know it's their mistake, and I understand all that,
but it's one of those kind of things. If you
play hardball and you keep it and you know that's
not right, then that's gonna haunt you. Yeah. Are they
giving you a choice? I mean he acts like he's
got a choice. Yeah. I was about to say, I
thought I was gonna ask that too. Good.

Speaker 5 (42:43):
That's a good question, not going Hey, if you don't
feel like you, don't worry about it, but we would
like you to give it back.

Speaker 3 (42:47):
I think they're telling you you got to give it back.
I mean I wouldn't have a problem. I'm going to
tell you though. What we're talking about is the problem
because if this starts company wide, you could go have
an individual meeting with someone who has some sort of
authority and say, is there any way, I could just
keep it and then you're not giving me the October bonus.
You could ask about it, but I'm telling you you

(43:07):
bet they've already ran that thurther. Yeah, because if they
if they could do that, that's the easiest thing, right,
If they could do that, they probably would have told
everybody that's what we're gonna do. But no, if if,
if it's if it's an error and you have money
you're not supposed to have right now, you got to
give it back. I mean, if you just look at
it straight from a do what do what's right now? Yeah,
And that's the right thing to do. By the way,

(43:29):
how would you like to be the person the company
made the mistake? That's not good now, that person's that
person's not gonna have a good day. That's their bonus
will be affected when they do finally, Yeah, oh yes,
oh yes. The because I have been in a similar
situation and I'll just leave it at that.

Speaker 13 (43:45):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (43:46):
And it was an error, and the people who do
the accounting and all that said it was their fault.

Speaker 6 (43:52):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
And and I had somebody that was working for me
that got money that they weren't supposed to have and
they did not give it back and and of course
then you get into the am I going to pursue that?
And it kind of goes down to I talked to
a very you know, one of the great philosophers in life,
Gary the bulldozer Man. You know, when you think about
sitting down and getting a life coach, I know you

(44:14):
have Hobie, I have Gary, and and I remember Gary,
you know, because Gary does a tremendous amount of contract work.
Now I will say to just in all seriousness, Gary,
getting you an invoice and all, that is not his
strongest thing, okay, uh, and so Nick sale and that

(44:34):
you would like for him to on the tractor.

Speaker 14 (44:37):
He is.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
But but he was talking to me one time. It's
another guy he worked for. It's not wouldn't me And
he was working with another guy that owed him money,
and they got into a dispute on whether he was
owed that money or not. And he goes, I was
absolutely old the money. Hey, I mean, you know, I
did the work, and I and and and you know
he knew he was shortening. And I said, well, what

(44:59):
what did you do about it? I mean, you know,
I mean finally I just got to the conclusion and
this really here's some some pretty good words from Gary.
Of course, now if you need your money, this all
sounds all good except the fact that you need that money.
He said, I've come to it. If he can live
with it, I can live without it, all right. I thought, okay,

(45:20):
life lesson from Gary. Course, you know Gary's independently wealthy,
but I mean still right. His point was if he
can live with the immoral part of it, and he
knows he owes me. You know, I could go through
all this fighting and whatever, but if he can live
with it, I can live without it.

Speaker 7 (45:35):
So and you could even swap that too. If I
can live without it, he can live with it.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
Thank you, put it on. Thank you, Thank you, buddy.
Just reverse that eye for an eye you know.

Speaker 7 (45:48):
Us wrong?

Speaker 3 (45:49):
Well it works, yeah kind of yeah yeah, so so yeah.
Another person's talking practical out of Mississippi. To the person
who asked, they said, it just happened yesterday, so don't
know all their options. But the company they're not. You're
not going to get to keep it. So what's gonna
happen is they're going to garnish it the next round

(46:11):
to get it back. It's it's all you're not gonna
end up with an extra bonus. Okay, it back right,
So you might as well just go ahead and and
listen to your options from the company and do what's right, uh,
and then get your bonus in October like you normally. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (46:28):
A lot of these companies work on you know, their
physical year isn't Jane. I mean, it doesn't start in January.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
It's a cash flow thing, yeah, I promise you, because
it does seem you're sitting here going, well, won't they
just let us keep it and then just not give
it to us in October? It's not. It's not that simple, yeah,
keeping it's bookkeeping and cash flow. Yeah, plus fight what
he gained fighting it. I mean ahead, I mean you
aren't expecting it. Everything's gonna be fine. Hey, let me

(46:54):
tell you what Gary would say. I mean, if you
can live with it, the company live without it. That's
gonna be between you and the lord and so so anyway,
but I would just do what's right and you know,
be done with it. And because if you'll just do
it the way it should be done, you really can't
be wrong, right, right, even if loving the money is wrong, right,

(47:20):
if taking an extra bonus is wrong I don't want
to be right, but you're not gonna You're not gonna
get away with it.

Speaker 5 (47:28):
No, So I mean it's just not worth it. You
weren't expecting it anyway.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
Let them get it right back. It's their error. I
got it. Yeah, you know ups. Let me ask, have
you ever in your life? Let's just go real simple,
not not this kind of stuff. Have you ever back
when people would attempt to get right now, if you
pay with cash, you you'll shut an entire place down right? Oh,
I mean people trying to that's the one person that

(47:52):
can make change. Yeah, nobody. These people they can't add
and subtract anymore. But the good news is they've indoctrinated.
They've been in doctor dating and things that don't matter.
They are trying to save the planet. Now they can't
make change, and they're no longer aating fast food. But
they can't make change. But the if you ever discovered this,

(48:13):
you were given too much change back? Yes, I have
you go back and give it back. I give it back. Yeah,
you got to. I gotta admit that here we go.

Speaker 8 (48:22):
Oh no, no, no, I gotta admit that occasionally I'll
be checking out because I buy groceries. I think every day,
I think I buy you know, one hundred items from
grocery stores every day or so.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (48:32):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (48:33):
And they'll occasionally they'll miss something or forget something, or
they'll almost forget something.

Speaker 7 (48:38):
And I gotta admit I've used the line multiple times. Oh,
don't forget that, my soul is not worth an orange
or whatever.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
You're that guy, I'll say that. You don't have to
make a big deal. I'm sole word. What do you
want them to do? Carry you on their shoulders as
a safety? Do you want to be sainted?

Speaker 7 (48:58):
I want high fives and I want people to say
he's he's the best of us, he's the best, and
holds me up.

Speaker 3 (49:07):
Yeah, okay, it's the best. Have their grocery aprons on and.

Speaker 7 (49:13):
Yeah, and they high five me. I get to run
through the tunnel and stuff, and they're like the five
virtuous soldier soldier on the man of virtue.

Speaker 3 (49:28):
We'll be.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (49:30):
I mean you can live with it. I mean, you know,
I living out. We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, only in America? Could
these four men do this for a living? God bless America?

(50:01):
This is the Wick Buds So.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
Thank you for being with us today, America. From the
text line, does Gary still do business with that guy?
Or is that a bridge burn?

Speaker 4 (50:18):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (50:18):
No, it is a bridge burn. Gary does not do
business with that person in there. Hey, let me tell
you he can find somebody else. And so there you go.
Relief factor. How about relief factor as you start getting
a little bit older. It's not for sissies. Let me
tell you the inflammation, the aches and pains of life.

(50:39):
But you know what a lot of times you can
have aches and pains and be you know, still a
pretty young person, but you're just struggling with chronic pain. Well,
if inflammation is the culprit, relief factor may be the
all natural answer for you. For botanicals that have been
highly researched. To me, just go do your own homework
on this. When you talk about these four tentacles and

(51:00):
you're talking about you know, I Karen Kerkkumin also talking
about Resvera trall the Omega three officialis we know a
lot about all that's in play, and if inflammation is,
like I said, is at the root of it, this
could be the foundational solution. It's not going to happen overnight.
That's why we do three weeks. A lot of this

(51:21):
over the counter stuff. They just mask pain if they
work at all. But they're not designed for you to
use every day. This is something you can take every day,
and I do. I take two packs every day. If
I got something bothering me, I'd say maybe I've overdid
something or doing a little better now at the farm,
moving something around, exercise, whatever, and I need I got
a little something that I've twined or something, I'll take

(51:42):
a third pack. Go to relief Factor dot com, or
you can go to Rick Burgers Show dot com under
the sponsors nineteen ninety five for a three week starter pack.
And you know what, inside the three weeks, you're gonna
know whether this is working for you. And if you
are a part of the majority, it should work for
you because it works from the majority of the people.

(52:02):
Uh Okay, So I do want to hit uh. I know, Speedy,
we were we were talking earlier. Let me look at this.
I want to ask this question because we have a
question that is in one of these emails. But I
also know you have a story coming up that we
can do a later involving you getting to see secondhand
embarrassment from another point of view, and and we do

(52:24):
have that story coming trying to recover from it. Yeah,
well we we'll we'll talk about that because I think you,
I think you may have learned a little bit from that.
So let's check out this, uh this, hey bird here.
So this wasn't little hat bird, but here we go.

(52:50):
This is where you know, you have to you have
to think things through and you know, we this This
reminds me, since we've talked a little bit about flying
to day. It reminds me of the time that I
made the mistake on my first ever international flight by
getting frustrated, standing up on the plane and saying out loud,

(53:10):
I gotta get off this plane. Don't do that. Okay,
I do not do that. I people don't like to
hear that. I didn't know about that. I didn't think
about that. I was just meaning I was I got
it off this plane. Yeah not I'm going to try
to get off the plane, which is how the staff
interpreted it. And I had to be calmed down and
walked to the back and I told everybody that was

(53:32):
just a figure of speech. I'm okay, I'm good. Well
this one has the you think you're talking about being
on fire. This includes getting in trouble because you're on
far for Jesus, Oh, check this one out. I'm a pastor.
I want to give too many details. We take evangelism
very serious, and discipleship at our church will good. That's
kind of what we were told to do. So it's

(53:53):
not uncommon for us to have seventy eighty people to
show up on a Saturday and go out and to
share the gospel. Job pastor, good job. So anyway, he said,
and we also, you know, love to take mission trips.
Great love that, he said. You know, we have a
number of ways of getting a gospel conversation started, and
we use one that is a classic. Uh, if you
died today, where would you spend attornity? And he says,

(54:17):
I know that sometimes people think that's you know, two
in your face, but it is very effective. It usually
has people to ponder that question. It's certainly nothing, you know,
not we didn't come up with it. That's been around
for a while. And that says, you know, it doesn't
matter where we are, we'll do that.

Speaker 6 (54:31):
Well.

Speaker 3 (54:31):
This past spring, we went to e r I Da Mexico. Okay,
Marita Mexico. Somebody Mexico, Mexico. Amazing. The trip was amazing, Rick.
We saw several people come to Christ praise God for that.
And our team was so fired up, I mean, and
they just started asking everybody if you die, if you

(54:52):
died today, where would you spend attornity Very effective. Well,
on the last day we were at the airport, I'm
about to fly home. Our folks were so fired up,
as you expect after a mission trip. We were on
a high went through security, customs, everything else imaginable to
try to get on the plane head back home. Everything
seemed to be going fine, he said. I was on
the plane, and honestly, he said, I thought the whole

(55:15):
team was too. I'd been counting the fourteen people all week,
and frankly, I was tired of counting everybody because everybody
seemed to be knowing where they're supposed to be. And
plus it's just time to go home now. Yeah. So
we're sitting on the plane. I noticed we were there
for an extended time, and I wonder why the plane
was not leaving. I had my headphones on, I had
a Coke zero open, and I was ready to leave,
he said after several minutes, I began wondering, what is

(55:37):
the hold up? No one had boarded in a long while,
and we were just sitting there. I thought, I'm gonna
have to go burge on these people. Do I need
to get Rick to fix this airline? About the time
I looked and one delady from our team was finally
being loaded on the plane by security. When she got
to her seat, she said, they pulled her out of

(55:58):
line and she had been interrogated for quite a while,
and that's why they were holding the plane up for her.
Why was she being interrogated, she said, I learned to
listen when you're going through customs and they're trying to
make sure that there's nobody nobody get on the plane.
That would put people in danger. You don't ask them
if they died today, where they would spend a turn, oh.

Speaker 5 (56:24):
Pull you would maybe just airports in general. Just leave
them out play your post t s A. Just don't
ask that question. So the pastor just a little advice.

Speaker 3 (56:35):
Appreciate everybody being on fire, but asking people in airports
boarding planes if they died today, where they would spend attornity,
Probably you want to talk to the team about that one.
Now that's right there. So thank you, thank you so much.
We've done our job. Now let's just get home. Yes, yes,
here we go again. This is funny. This one's funny.

(56:56):
Hey bird, hey bird, that was going on. I I've
been listening to you guys, the four of you, through
all the Rick and Bubby years and everything. I mean,
ever since I was a kid. Still listen every day.
And so we're in a small group at Sunday School
where married couples are in low church emails today and
on Tuesday night, so we meet again, the men at
one house, the women at another. And you know, we're

(57:18):
new to where we live, so we have a three
year old. We've never tried going, but I kept encouraging
my husband to try it, and I would stay home
and I'd be on toddler duty on Tuesday night so
he could go to the men's group. I prayed that
morning that it would be a great experience for him
and he'd love going and have his own group, you
know that he could be part of now, because finding

(57:39):
good men's groups not easy. Once he got there, the
small talk was over and the men said, okay, let's
get started. Let's go ahead. And start listening to Rick.
My husband stopped him and said Rick who They said,
Rick Burgess from Manchurch. And my husband says, you're doing
the Manchurt series and they said yeah. None of the
men in the group had any idea that you even
had a radio show. Nothing about Rick and Bubba. They

(58:01):
knew nothing about what you did for a living. They
only knew you for Manchurch. So then my husband introduced
them to the Rick Burgers Show and even the podcast
Strange Encounters. And now they're all listening to the show
and watching Strange Encounters. Cool, he said. I was very
excited when he told me this on the way home.
How amazing is God? Now not only do they have

(58:21):
every Tuesday night, they do the Man Church. Now all
of them are a part of the Rick Burgers Show
and the podcast Strange Encounters. Says I kept hoping that
they would be a Man Church near us, and we
have found one right here in Brunswick, Georgia. And now
the men in the small group all love the show.
And so how funny is that? That is awesome? Found

(58:44):
the show through the Man Church. Yeah, that's all say.
He starts going Rick Covin and they're like Rick Burgess
from the Manchurch. They're like me from the Rick Burgess
Show and used to be on Rick Aboba and strange
encounters are like nop, don't know any of that. Just
a guy on the video.

Speaker 16 (58:56):
So there we go.

Speaker 3 (58:57):
He works in a mysterious way.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. God fearing and America
loving the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 3 (59:17):
How about it, America, thanks for being with us today.
The gang all here as we work you through another day.
Aren't some things to be aware of. So we're on
vacation next week, so you're going to get some of
the best hours. You know, each hour will be from
a former show, and these seem to be hours that
most of you gave really good feedback to that you'd

(59:39):
like to go back and relive again. And you know,
maybe you're new to the show and you weren't with
us when we started at the beginning of the year.
You might have been some of the people that I
keep running into that think we've all retired, and you
found out we weren't, and you're like, oh wow, I
need to catch up. So be a great week for you.
But there's gonna be some things that'll be going on
while we are away, so you need to be aware

(01:00:00):
of two of them. One of them is Greg and
Speedy will be in Birmingham there in the home of
one O four to seven w ZZK, and they will
be there. Nashville to Birmingham is the gathering and it
is at the Finnic. They're in Birmingham and it benefits
Rainbow Omega. All the tables are sold out. Great news

(01:00:23):
for this wonderful, wonderful community and organization. But good news
is also the general admission tickets are still available, so
you can still go. Can't get a table now, but
you can still go and enjoy these songwriters that have
written some of the biggest songs in country music. So
they'll kind of be in the round talking about the

(01:00:43):
stories behind the songs they wrote and performing those for you.
Last year, the people who went said this was a really,
really cool event. So that's going to be August the eighth,
so get that on. That's a week from tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (01:00:56):
Did you know that one of the writers we were
sitting here looking at their by, Brent Anderson, is one
of the writers that's going to be in the round.

Speaker 3 (01:01:04):
Uh. He is from Pasca Gola, Mississippi.

Speaker 5 (01:01:06):
I did not know that, and I cannot wait to
catch up with him and and find out if we
know each other through different people and now then don't
even know it. Now he's a lot younger, of course,
but I mean still you.

Speaker 3 (01:01:17):
And him go songwriting and common we do, don't know that.

Speaker 5 (01:01:22):
Yeah, but general admission still available and it's gonna be
a fun night and you get those at Rainbow Omega
dot Org.

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
Right. Yes, last year it's really good, it really is.
We had a lot of fun, all right, So speedy,
hang on for the next one. Okay, also while we're gone,
because we won't be back yet. I said the other
day it'll be right after I get back from vacation.
What I meant was, I'll be back from what I'm doing.

Speaker 17 (01:01:43):
I know.

Speaker 3 (01:01:43):
It's on a Sunday now, back in town. Back in town. Yeah,
it's been so on. On the tenth of August, that's
the Sunday, one week from this Sunday. You ready, here
we go, see how you like it? All right. I
will be speaking at a community men's of in Albertville,
Alabama at sand Mountain Park. Perfect free event. Yep, You're

(01:02:07):
welcome to be there. And it is being presented by
Gunnersville First Methodist Church. Brilliant you like that, and you
can find those details. There's missing confusion about this one.
Those details are at the manchurch dot com under events.
That's it.

Speaker 5 (01:02:24):
That's that's brilliant, that's good. Doubted in my friend.

Speaker 3 (01:02:28):
I realize I've confused people on that one a little
bit because the church is in one part of that
county and the actual events and another they've moved it.
And you know, I know, I confuse some of you,
and Speedy's gotten only about sending you got confusing messages.
And so I think I finally got it down.

Speaker 5 (01:02:42):
Outed And it was a good problem to have because
the church was concerned about the capacity that they have
right available and they want more people. Well, I hope
to hear you and and I have a fun night,
and I hear a great message for the mancher.

Speaker 3 (01:02:54):
I hope that that's there was a need to do that.
I hope we need the room all right. So Huntsville
is another big, huge market for us. As a matter
of fact, a lot of the people there, the folks
in Albertville probably or Z ninety three, but I know
some of the people in Gunnersville also were one hundred
point three people, and so one hundred point three the
river and the Huntsville market has been a huge market

(01:03:17):
for the Rick and Bubba Show in the past and
continues to be a huge market. Matter of fact, we
saw the show came out as number one there in
Huntsville just recently, and so we're excited about that. But boy,
something bizarre happened in Huntsville yesterday. And it's one of
those things that you think about and you're like, man,
I hope that never happens to me. I know, And
I got a text from my dad.

Speaker 5 (01:03:37):
You know, it's either about the weather or some breaking
news right up in Huntsville where they live. They live
really close to this area. The Jones Valley area in
southeast Huntsville is beautiful. It's a great place, and my
parents live down in that area and frequent this shopping
center where this happened. But he said, hey, man, a
guy driving a dump truck had brake issues, rolled the

(01:04:02):
went plowing through an intersection, hitting a car, and then
went through the front of a target. And I'm like,
do what he And so I had to pull the
story up and we have WHNT Channel nineteen News live
at the scene yesterday talking about it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:19):
But apparently three people.

Speaker 5 (01:04:20):
Were injured when a dup truck had some malfunction with
brakes and sent the driver right through the target in
the front of it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:28):
Oh boy, but here it is.

Speaker 10 (01:04:29):
Curtsy of nineteen Lauren Gregg. Merely minutes ago. The crew's
actually got the driver out of that truck after trying
to do so safely for over two hours.

Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
Now.

Speaker 10 (01:04:39):
Now, three people were injured in this crash today, and
I'm going to take a step out of the way
here and show you some of that damage a timeline. Now,
the truck driver says he had some brake malfunctions while
driving down from the ledges and then hit a car
in the Coral T. Jones intersection because he says he
just couldn't stop his truck. Now you can see here
actually the time truck took just barreling into the shopping center.

(01:05:02):
There's debris that's being left on the road here before
it hit this target behind me, and crews are still
working out to get him. Now, since he has been
extracted from that truck, he will now be treated at
Huntsville Hospital. That's where the two others who were also
injured in this crash are currently being treated.

Speaker 3 (01:05:20):
Now.

Speaker 10 (01:05:20):
Crews are really worried about taking their machinery out of
that target. They have it holding up this aunting here
behind me. They're worried about the structural integrity of the building.
They don't want it to collapse on them, so they
said it could take hours to figure out if it's
safe to remove their machinery. Now, this is a developing story,
and we will bring you the latest on our website

(01:05:40):
and on air here as we learn more, but for now,
live in Huntsville, Peyton Newman News nineteen.

Speaker 5 (01:05:46):
Is that not bizarre? And that is the shopping center.
If my parents need something, I run around the corner
and grab something for him. A big, big, huge, very
nice shopping center. And think about this. Think the ride
that guy was on in the dump truck. So I
have no brakes? Yeh, goodness, the vehicle that you hit
that person is okay because you see it smatch.

Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
Yes I did.

Speaker 5 (01:06:06):
And now here I come barreling through the park and
thankfully you didn't hit more people into the building.

Speaker 3 (01:06:10):
How about when you hit those brakes and they just
go to the floor. Yes, I've never experienced that, and
I don't want to well, if you're coming off the ledges,
it's it's but you got you a run.

Speaker 5 (01:06:20):
And if if those air brakes or whatever, if that, buddy, Greg,
you can probably about this.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
And I'm in a big old vehicle too. Oh yeah, heavy,
it's running over a lot of things. You see in
front of that car? Yes, I did, yes?

Speaker 18 (01:06:34):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
What about that?

Speaker 7 (01:06:36):
The dump truck just takes the front end of your car?

Speaker 3 (01:06:39):
Yeah? What was I like that barreling down on you? Yeah?
And you know, and this is a shopping center, like
Speedy said, it's special in so many ways. One. I mean, honestly,
it's possible that some people working there may have actually
seen Speedy's wallet. I know, I mean, is that not cool?
That's a unique bunch.

Speaker 5 (01:06:55):
And I know Target has a bull's eye on it,
but good night, right, he almost hit the bulls It
seemed like you say, the story says, somebody to drive
up like a place where you drive it on the
front of the building. Yeah, he nearly got. He almost
hit the drive up, right, He almost did. But I'm
just picturing him in the panic.

Speaker 3 (01:07:13):
You know, well, apparently you know think about this because
you know it truck, so he couldn't get the brakes on.
So now you've got that big, giant truck in motion.
So and he is in the hospital. So think about it.
When that truck stopped, I imagine that was quite a
jolt on him. Yes, because this picked that momentum and
then that building, you know, think it did crash into

(01:07:33):
a little bit, so I guess a little bit the
energy was let off, you know, it didn't just stop
on the nose. But they said, well, it took up
two hours to get him out of the vehicle. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:07:41):
Yeah, because I want to say, the dump truck, maybe
for those of you can't see, half of it is
in the building and the other end, the back half
is not. So they didn't want to just pull the
dump truck out or go in there and get him out.
With the integrity of that front of the building could
collapse on him. So that's what took so long.

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
So somebody and I I knew this was gonna come
to text nation because this show is gigantic with truckers.
I've been there, fellas in an eighteen wheeler. Goodness, I
know how they have sometimes on heels they got that
off ramp sand I mean, man, that's tough man, But.

Speaker 7 (01:08:16):
He should I'm sorry, but he should have hit the
tree in front of the building, not the building. Look,
I understand it's a tough city.

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
What do you now the dump truck driver, what is this?
Looks like he was trying to avoid some cars too.
I don't think that crape myrtle could stop a dump truck, admer.
I think it could.

Speaker 7 (01:08:35):
Building the build I mean tree messed up or building destroyed?

Speaker 3 (01:08:39):
What's better? So you think it would have hit that
tree and stopped.

Speaker 5 (01:08:41):
Yeah, because you always you know, you always see in
the movies somebody's messed with the brakes and that, and
the person's trying to say but so you see the
panic in the movies of what it's like. Now, now
picture that being real life. And that's the guy and
he can't stop when I'm worried about it, I'm afraid
now you're gonna dream about it to not and kick terrry.

Speaker 2 (01:09:02):
No good.

Speaker 3 (01:09:06):
Trying trying to slam him brakeson. By the way, we're
getting a lot of text saying it's not a terrible feeling, fellas,
that's not He had had a stain coming off. That's
bad stuff. Le'll be back much more to cover on
Today's edition of The Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 7 (01:09:24):
Would you rather be in the airplane with the turbulence
or the dump truck that's runaway?

Speaker 3 (01:09:27):
So I gotta go with the dump truck.

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
Yeah, this is the Rick Burgers Show. This is what
Trump had in mind when he sought to make America
great again. The Wick Burgers Show.

Speaker 3 (01:09:55):
All right, America, thanks for being with us today, having
a bl asked thank you for being part of it.
Unscreened phone calls coming up. We got more stories to
coverage today, Speedy. I may have a more unique view
on a second hand embarrassment, so we'll talk about that

(01:10:18):
coming out. All right, So let's let's let's go with
a couple of things here. So I don't know what's
really going on here because this where are we on
this Jerome Powell guy? Because I was talking to family yesterday. Greg,
of course you know this this never ending thing with

(01:10:40):
Greg what and Mom? It's really unbelievable, it truly is
that this happened. And I'm sorry Greg for you know
you too. I'm talking to Mom yesterday. This is an
actual conversation and I said, hey, Mom, I want to
come by and see you before vacation. You know we're
going to be going out of town. And so after

(01:11:02):
the Bible study, I'm gonna come over and Sherry, I think,
can come to She may meet me there. And uh
so then I talked to Greg and he was talking
about his day, and I said, well, Greg said that
y'all go in the grocery store if you want me to,
we can just go when I come over there. No,
Greg's gonna go ahead and take me. And I'm like, Mom,
don't like you. I'm coming anyway. I mean, I get it,

(01:11:26):
I'm here. Uh well, we got it done. Don't worry
about it. I'll go ahead. I just want to go
ahead and get that done right right? But Mom, good,
but I'm actually coming. We could just do that while
I'm there today. You need to get to visit. So then,
of course, what happens when I get there, Well, I mean,
if y'all want a snack or something. And Sherry didn't
meet me there, if y'all want to snack or something,

(01:11:47):
you know, I'm fully stocked because Greg took me to
the grocery store today. And I know, Mom, Greg Mama
knew that, and see I knew she knows. I know that,
but she had to go ahead and say it out
there and in front of Sherry, and then Sherry of course,
what does she do? Well, why didn't we just take
your mama? She doesn't like for me to take her.
Apparently she did offer. She went on, stopped by, Well,

(01:12:09):
talk to your brother. I said, yeah, yeah, he's coming by.
She said no, I mean, if you don't want we,
I can just get him take me in the grocery store.
And I tell she didn't mean. I had that down
trig and I said, no, I'm here, I'm ready, let's go.
So we went. Don't worry about it at worked. Well
do you want he? I tell you what if y'all
want some such and such, such and such or such
and such, go right ahead because Greg took me today

(01:12:31):
and got me when I got fully stocked. Yeah, I know, mom,
So you go with y'all. Enjoy your vacation. I have
plenty because I'm good now because Greg took me to
the grocery store. Now I know.

Speaker 5 (01:12:42):
I asked you why y'all don't take her? Do you
act like well, I don't know why, I said, do
you do?

Speaker 3 (01:12:48):
You say yes?

Speaker 5 (01:12:49):
Because I'm impatient. I won't let my mom take so
I don't say that.

Speaker 3 (01:12:53):
You don't know. I'm always in a hurry, and I
won't let her do the bogo well, because then I'll
get that speech, which is and share acknowledges that she
didn't come up with this phrase, and it's a well
known phrase, and she has said this, and I've owned this.
She's I'll tell you what if if we were going
to your funeral, you to make sure we make time. Yeah,
and so you don't tell her all that, I'll get

(01:13:15):
that speech. Yeah, it would have been a good day
for you, because the bogo that hits you when you
first come in the door. Nothing she was really interested
in today. So really we didn't spend a lot of
time on it. Boy, I've bogged down there before, and
then of course you're bogged down. She reads ahead of
time on what's on bogo. Oh she knows going in
what's there? Let me tell you my stomach churn which

(01:13:35):
is why watch is why why I've been fired. Is
when I look and all of a sudden, going to
the car, I'm like, what do you got there? Mom? Oh,
I've got the specials. I went ahead and got them,
and she she'll have her specials and then as soon
as we walk in. Bogo's right there, and we bogged
down in there, and where I get in trouble. I
start putting stuff in the buggy. Hey, this looks good.

(01:13:59):
It's her now, I know the regular stuff that you get,
so I can grab one of them. You need his
cheeryo because yeah, you're all the grocery buddies. Yeah. Absolutely,
you don't rush her through the building.

Speaker 7 (01:14:12):
Letter actually enjoyed her.

Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
We had a good visit yesterday. We had a good visit.

Speaker 5 (01:14:16):
Part of it's just getting out and enjoying time. Well,
we talked about life and we told stories and we laughed.
That's my role, Okay, is it in any kind of
like you got that legal or paperwork or I don't
know how.

Speaker 3 (01:14:28):
I got that job. Did you have to call her
to let you in? Or was the arm open? No,
the gates back closed. The gate is back, which led
which led to another thing that mom wanted me to know.
Did did you you have any hard time with the gate? No, ma'am.
I you know, I forget when I have those sunglasses
on but I can't see the pad. Well, Greg, you know,

(01:14:50):
he just drives right through because he has he didn't
have to do that. I got the thing hanging on
the mirror. He's I said, I know he does. Mom, Hey,
it works good. You and Greg have me that.

Speaker 5 (01:15:00):
I'm fully aware of it. See first gave it to me.
I lost it in my car, you know. I every
day that drops up and you get it. So it's
like six months soil I found it. It's a game change.

Speaker 3 (01:15:10):
Six six days. I couldn't find it, I said, Mom,
there wouldn't have had to be two of those. Well, no,
and Greg you needs it because you know he's he
takes care of some things, you know, my appointments and
my doctor and doctors appointments and my groceries, so he
needs it because he comes back here a lot more.
That's okay. Oh wow. Only if I had a second one,

(01:15:34):
I'd probably give that to your sister because you know
she needs it. No, why why does she need it? Mom?
This doesn't sound good the way you're saying it, And
I got.

Speaker 8 (01:15:44):
To tell you sounds like you know how you guys
know the show sixty minutes and like the ticking is
always going on.

Speaker 7 (01:15:52):
It kind of feels like that's how it is when
you're when when you're at the grocery store with your mom.

Speaker 3 (01:15:55):
Yeah, he only got so long.

Speaker 7 (01:15:57):
You can hear the ticking running right now.

Speaker 3 (01:16:00):
Okay, So let me tell you this right here. Do
you hear that? Yeah, that's in my head, my entire life.
If I'm awake, that's what I hear. Okay. And sometimes
even when I'm sleeping, I'm trying to make I'm trying
to make good time on sleep.

Speaker 7 (01:16:13):
Sleep. Yes, that's a new level.

Speaker 3 (01:16:15):
You telling me about the gate.

Speaker 5 (01:16:18):
She was convinced, you know, when the gate something, somebody
must have hit her some I don't know, you know,
it was open for a couple of weeks. She's the
only person I've ever known that lives in the secure
community and doesn't want it to be secure.

Speaker 3 (01:16:29):
It didn't like the gate, and she was convinced that
everybody nobody else liked it either, and that's why it
was open, because everybody had been complaining. That's mother. I
really don't think get that. I heard. They're not just
gonna go, okay, we' spent all this money on this gate.
Let's just leave it over because nobody likes it, and
I think she may be the only one that doesn't
like it. She claims the whole community don't. And she
didn't talk to anybody, so I don't know where she
got that.

Speaker 5 (01:16:48):
I know, well, I know that your mom enjoys this
show she's watching now, and you would you like to
look into the camera and apologize her for rushing her
all the time.

Speaker 3 (01:16:56):
I'm not going to apologize for the joy that I
uniquely bring to your life. And and I have my role.
And Greg is a great grocery store person. Uh, he's
a great doctor's appointment person. My sister is just your
favorite as far as yeah overall, and uh and you
just want her to be taken care of and she
can do anything she wants. And I realize that I'm

(01:17:18):
the heavy and I'm the person that's brought in for
the things that you know don't require apparently as much heart.

Speaker 18 (01:17:25):
Uh so.

Speaker 3 (01:17:26):
Uh So anyway, the uh when you put it that,
I'm the one that fights the insurance company for your
disability payment that it want to give you. And uh
And that's what I'm really learning is when you need
someone to be kind of the hard person, that's what
I get to do. Okay, we all have a row

(01:17:49):
and and I how about this mom? I put in
that code at the gate, even though Greg drives right through.
I put in the code at the gate, and I
put it in you know what, joyfully?

Speaker 5 (01:18:00):
Yeah, I okay, But now I put the code in
for years when I couldn't find the thing, there was
in the tru It was lost in the drug six
months it was in the truck.

Speaker 3 (01:18:07):
You maybe learn that. Yeah, well, when I found it,
it was a game all up under the seats when
you're playing in the big stack favors. I can't say anything.
I would have thrown it away from Oh, you just
definitely would have thrown it away. Do you get to
push the cart? Yes? Did you? I don't get to
push the car. What she says, I push it too fast? Well, yeah,

(01:18:29):
you run off. You're at the end of the aisle
and she's still back here looking. How long we go
state these vocals. It's not a race. It's not good grace.

(01:19:54):
funnier things, you're very very creative. By the way out
of Florida on text Nation during the millennial reign, Rick
will be thinking, do we really need a thousand years solid? Couldn't?
I thought, gosh, that's funny, right there, Jesus, a thousand.

Speaker 7 (01:20:13):
Millennial rain.

Speaker 3 (01:20:13):
Let's go ahead and get with it. Okay, let's let's
give these people one hundred years and let's go uh So, anyway,
that's funny. Uh So mom mentress mentioned in passing yesterday
during our very uh important and heartfelt conversation. Uh, she
said something about our sister, of course whatever, and she goes, yeah,

(01:20:35):
she's a thing she's thinking about, you know, maybe Biden
House or whatever, because I think they're gonna some about
the interest rates are about to come down, and I
didn't want to break it to her mom. We we
we for some reason, I don't know why we cannot
get Jerome to do it.

Speaker 14 (01:20:48):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:20:49):
Jerome is not gonna drop these interest rates and we're
getting come mad about it. Yeah. Uh so, uh we
do call him too late? Uh yeah, too late. So, Adler,
you and I talked about the probably the order to
here's some updates, and we're also going to play something
that will show you how these politicians just play political games. Greg,
you're going to go through the roof. When we get

(01:21:10):
to this, you're going to say that doesn't surprise me
at all. But anyway, let's get to the current thing
that's happening, uh, and that is that it looks like
Jerome Powell is not going to cut interest rates. So
do you want to start with which one? Adler? The C?
All right, so let's start with one C. And this
is Nancy Pelosi.

Speaker 7 (01:21:30):
Oh oh sorry, So this is no. Uh, Jerome Powell
saying he won't cut rates.

Speaker 3 (01:21:35):
Okay, that's not one C. Two, I'm sorry, we're on
the twos. You're right. I'm sorry because I saw something
up in the ones there. But that's not it, all right,
So let's do two C CAUs we got to hear this.

Speaker 13 (01:21:45):
Good afternoon.

Speaker 7 (01:21:46):
Calm down, buddy boy.

Speaker 13 (01:21:48):
My colleagues and I remain squarely focused on achieving our
dual mandate goals of maximum employment and stable prices for
the benefit of the American people.

Speaker 3 (01:21:55):
We're doing politically motivated.

Speaker 13 (01:21:57):
Despite heightened uncertainty. The economy is still in a solid position.
The unemployment rate remains low, and the labor market is
at or near maximum employment. Inflation has come down a
great deal, but it's been running somewhat above or two
percent longer run objective.

Speaker 3 (01:22:14):
I hurt him to say all that in support of
our goals.

Speaker 13 (01:22:17):
Today, the Feral Open Market Committee decided to leave our
policy interest rate unchanged. The risks of higher unemployment and
higher inflation appear to have risen, and we believe that
the current stance of monetary policy leaves us well positioned
to respond in a timely way to potential economic developments and.

Speaker 3 (01:22:36):
Eight right, it hurt him to say that everything that
I said was gonna happen is not happening. But I
still think it's gonna happen anyway at some point, right,
And that basically what he said. Yes, I'm not gonna
I know everything looks great right now, and I should
lower them, but I'm not gonna lower them because I
think it's not gonna look great for long. It's gonna
be bad again. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:22:53):
So two people that are high up in the FED
actually dissented with him and said, no, no, no, you
do need to cut the rates. And this is the
first time that's happened since like the nineties or something
like that.

Speaker 7 (01:23:04):
So Jerome Powell is out there on his own.

Speaker 3 (01:23:06):
They tell him to work on his Draymauth too. Yes, yeah,
could could somebody? Could he just have a spokesperson or something?
He needs a bar bran? Yeah he does. You're right,
all right, So let's go to you think two A
next then B. Yeah, our here's two A. Here's here's Trump.
He's he's scorched earth now.

Speaker 9 (01:23:22):
Likewise, so we have a lot of money coming in
and we have no inflation, and we should and we're
very strong, and we should be lowering the rates. You know,
each point that this gentleman keeps up costs US three
hundred and sixty five billion dollars a year. Think of that,
one point three hundred and sixty five billion dollars. If

(01:23:44):
you bring it down a point, we save three hundred
and sixty five. We should be the lowest interest rate,
and we're not. We're thirty eight number thirty eight because
of the FED. It's all because of the Fed. Uh,
he's done a bad job. No, he's got a meeting today,
but I call him too late.

Speaker 3 (01:24:02):
You know, he's always too late.

Speaker 9 (01:24:03):
Even if he does it today, probably won't hear. They're
going to do it in September, not today, for what
reason nobody knows.

Speaker 3 (01:24:12):
But too late.

Speaker 9 (01:24:13):
Europe, as you know, cut their reach eleven times in
the last short period of time. But the good news
is we're doing better than anybody, anyone in the world.
Nobody's doing anything even close to us.

Speaker 5 (01:24:26):
I think they announced trade deal with South Korea overnight. Okay, good,
We're about too late, all right, So here comes the
part you love grey. We're gonna go back to twenty
twenty four, and you're we're going way back.

Speaker 3 (01:24:36):
You're gonna hear Elizabeth Warren say that Jerome Paul needs
to cut interest rates, and then you're gonna see her
in twenty twenty five and she's going to say that
Trump needs to stop calling for Jerome Paul to cut
interest rus. And the most amazing thing she has the
same hair do in both clips. Yeah, yeah, I mean,
this is the thing you talk about all the time.
I mean, oh it is. I mean, here, we have

(01:24:58):
nothing stand so when our people are in, they need
to be cut. Yeah, when the other people are in,
how dare you to tell them to cut?

Speaker 17 (01:25:04):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:25:05):
That's it. Here's the inconsistency.

Speaker 7 (01:25:07):
He waited too long.

Speaker 17 (01:25:08):
And the best way you can show that you waited
too long and that you get it and that you
are becoming more responsive to where we are on interest
rates is actually go ahead and do a nice big
rate cut. Keep in mind that keeping those rates high,
as he is done, keeping those interest rates so high,

(01:25:29):
actually has contributed to our measure of inflation.

Speaker 7 (01:25:32):
The infrastructure sort of.

Speaker 17 (01:25:33):
Keeps this stock market strong, and therefore a big part
of our economy strong, and therefore a big part of
the world economy strong. Is the idea that the big
pieces move independent of the politics, that somebody is making
his there her best decisions economically and independently. If we

(01:25:57):
understand that if the New York Stock Exchange, if interest
rates in the United States are subject to a president
who just wants to waive his magic wand this doesn't
distinguish us then from any other two bit dictatorship around
the world.

Speaker 3 (01:26:13):
So I thought you said two thousand and four that
my comment twenty four. Oh, I thought you were being facetious.
You think you said two thousand and four.

Speaker 7 (01:26:23):
No, he said, twenty twenty four.

Speaker 3 (01:26:25):
I heard, well, what's funny? Hell, Gregor, it works you
the way. Actually thought you'd be smarter than I.

Speaker 7 (01:26:33):
And then Senator Warren went on to say, now I
need to leave so I could smoke them peace putt,
I said, She said, how can Trump keep doing that?

Speaker 3 (01:26:45):
That's funny? So when we're in Trump must.

Speaker 7 (01:26:48):
Be drinking fire watter me.

Speaker 3 (01:26:49):
Native American? Do you do you remember that you would
be getting on to me if I was doing that.

Speaker 8 (01:26:55):
Sorry, you would She pretended and lied about being a
Native American, and that's gotten to college that way and
got a job that way, or something like that. And
then she revealed her genetic test showed that she was
less Native American and than most people on the planet.

Speaker 7 (01:27:10):
And then she said, see it proves I'm Native American anyways.

Speaker 3 (01:27:14):
Yeah, probably of the whitest people there is. Yes, she's
But when she she even went as far I didn't
realize in twenty twenty four that she went as far
as to point at her head like Jerome Poell was
being stupid. He needs to he's too late. Yeah, and now,
of course he shouldn't do it because Trump's asking him to.

Speaker 7 (01:27:32):
A big rate cut. She said, we need a nice,
big rate cut right before the election.

Speaker 3 (01:27:36):
Yeah, so we can win.

Speaker 11 (01:27:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:27:39):
Well, the good news is this, and I understand what
Trump's saying, and we'd all like to see it happen.
But if the economy is getting stronger, it doesn't make
that less impactful on you. You know. I'll take a
strong economy and the interest rate staying where it is
versus one spiraling out control, and you try to lower

(01:28:01):
an interest rate to make it better, right, right, right,
So that's the good news. But but boy, what how
much would it help? But not a big one.

Speaker 7 (01:28:09):
If we just came down a little bit and there
are so many people waiting to buy homes. The housing
market is slowing down and this should be the hot,
hot time of the year for the housing market. So
many people my age.

Speaker 8 (01:28:19):
And younger especially are waiting for those interest rates to
come down so they can buy a hat.

Speaker 3 (01:28:23):
That's what Trump has said yesterday, and then that would
just make the economy role even more. Yep, we'll be back.

Speaker 3 (01:31:35):
Greg challenge threw it down right right, yeah, speeding throw
them down. It's been well documented. Your your your struggle
with secondhand embarrassment and slash being an over greed, which
is really yeah, contradictory. I think those two things, well,
I think you found out they don't go together. They
don't know, they don't. Really I shouldn't be the way

(01:31:55):
I am. No from that. Yeah, if you're someone who
suffers from secondhand embarrassment. You shouldn't do things that would
embarrass you in a secondhand way. Yeah. Yeah, it's like
create last night.

Speaker 5 (01:32:12):
Last night we met Tyler after his work and we
River had a play day with Nan and Pops and
and so we met him and uh uh, you know,
and we're hanging out with him, big parking lot and
switching cars and everything. And they get they get in
Tyler's car and we get my truck and we're like,
all right, man, see all later.

Speaker 3 (01:32:30):
You know that kind of thing.

Speaker 5 (01:32:32):
And you know, NaN's doing you know Nan stuff like
making River laugh and dancing and having a good time.
We always have fun, you have to. Yeah, he's a nut.
And uh so we get in our cars and a
lot later than I wanted, and a lot of traffic.
And I don't know what it is about trains, but
if I'm gonna get out and about I'm gonna get
stuck behind a train. The other day got stuck by
the same train twice.

Speaker 3 (01:32:51):
Oh my gosh, miss here's another. Yeah. Yeah, I would
have come out and glued. Oh it was awful.

Speaker 5 (01:32:56):
I was like, wait a minute, that's the same train.
And so we're leaving, come up to a red light
and it's it's two lanes that turned together. And as
the red light, uh changed green, and we're going through
the intersection, Terry rolled down the window and she was
doing her hands out and you know, like lots of motion,
like she's saying hey to the car beside her. And

(01:33:18):
then she starts like making noises and and goofing off.

Speaker 3 (01:33:21):
Is she doing the grandparent dance? Yes kind of thing?
And I and I said, well, honey, what are you doing?
What are you doing?

Speaker 5 (01:33:26):
That's not tyler oh? And she said, dude, what are
you what are you talking about? And then as the
as the car it kind of came up beside us.
It was an old lady by herself, and she was
like both hands on the steering wheel, looking over at us,
like do I know that?

Speaker 13 (01:33:40):
What?

Speaker 3 (01:33:40):
What in the world are you doing?

Speaker 5 (01:33:43):
And now and now Terry's like, oh my gosh, I'm
gonna I'm goodness, Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness.

Speaker 3 (01:33:47):
Now what happens?

Speaker 5 (01:33:48):
The next night turns red and now she's right there
beside us again, and we still have the window down.

Speaker 3 (01:33:53):
So now for some reason, I feel like I have
to yell at her and let her know what we
were doing.

Speaker 5 (01:33:57):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:33:57):
And I don't know why. You said, man, we thought

Speaker 16 (01:34:09):
Why do you say it?

Speaker 3 (01:34:11):
Let alone right, you know? And I'm like, I take
your license plate, y'all are drunk.

Speaker 7 (01:34:17):
That bike man's on drugs.

Speaker 3 (01:34:19):
Why are you hollering your wife is drunk?

Speaker 5 (01:34:22):
I mean, couldn't have been more animated, you know, thinking
that River's gonna laugh, you know, he's gonna come up
beside us, just be giggling. Old Dan so crazy, look grinny, No, no, man,
man's crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:34:34):
But she just thought she was a crazy girl to
an old lady, you do it. So her over greeting
gave you secondhand embarrassment to the point that you awkwardly
start trying to explain to her that they didn't think
y'a were even I.

Speaker 5 (01:34:47):
Felt like I had to correct it when it didn't
need correcting, you know. Now, the lady didn't know it
was mistaken identity. She just thought we were goofing off
and waving at her and hysterically. Uh. And and then
and I don't know why, but you know, I'm like,
we we're sorry, And Terry now I'm hollering through Terry's.

Speaker 3 (01:35:11):
Like, what are you doing? What are you doing? I'm sorry?
We thought you were grand right we met His name's river, right,
but where is Pops? And then right? And that this
he was our oldest.

Speaker 7 (01:35:23):
Son sign and it's his sign, which is our grandson.

Speaker 3 (01:35:28):
You know, and we just met him. Oh my gosh,
he's been with us all day. You do that there?
Once he starts, he can't. We had we had to
change the clothes yesterday. He was a good can't he
can't stop? Oh god, well he'll get wet.

Speaker 5 (01:35:42):
So yeah, So I experienced that feeling of, you know,
an over greeter. I guess, is that how y'all feel
with me?

Speaker 3 (01:35:49):
Look I get yes, yes, I get Terry making a mistake,
but you trying to explain what was happening was so unnecessary.
Just roll wind up and let the old ladies think
you're all weird, I know, just go sorry, Just like
there's a chance she didn't eve No, she saw too much.

Speaker 7 (01:36:05):
She saw that on drugs for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:36:09):
It was the same color car too, and all you
could say, he's taking pie, he's smoking a marijuana cigarette.

Speaker 8 (01:36:20):
Hey, I gotta apology, speaking the same looking car. I
gotta apologize.

Speaker 7 (01:36:23):
My my brother drives a black ram truck with a
cover over the bed.

Speaker 3 (01:36:28):
Okay, there's got ten thousand.

Speaker 7 (01:36:30):
There in my neighborhood. Have that About ten houses down
there is a very dark gray ram truck with a
covered bed. I have waved at that guy like four
or five times, because we'll pass each other all the
time leaving there. Realize and so I'm so. I mean,
it's a big wave like peace sign out the window. Yes,

(01:36:53):
I'm sorry, brother, I don't I'm not trying to be
your friend. I thought my brother's truck looks exactly like
that kind of all.

Speaker 3 (01:36:58):
Right picture of the guy that you keep thinking it's
your brother's truck. He's having some friends over. How you
out where you live? We got this little gay guy,
I mean, yeah, the slow kids that lay in the front.
No surprise here. He's got a van. Right. It's different
than if me and you passed each other. They'd be
a hand single involved. But it wasn't be away.

We're doing wonderful just playing in this great, wonderful two
lady traffic you Hey, I just want to say, Adler Man,
I greatly appreciate the radio gold that you created with
going over and staying with Larry. I'll see your time
for Rick to step up to the plate.

Speaker 3 (01:41:50):
He said.

Speaker 14 (01:41:52):
I think Rick should uh probably go spend the night
with Wanda and Willie and check on those guys.

Speaker 2 (01:42:00):
Talk.

Speaker 3 (01:42:00):
Don't do that to me. Yeah, that was actually Speedy
that went to spend the night with Larry. Yeah. How
does it feel for you to make that kind of
sacrifice and get credit? I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:42:08):
He even said, Wallet, wand and Willie backwards to.

Speaker 3 (01:42:13):
Looks track traffic over.

Speaker 7 (01:42:17):
You know, everything was wrong anything for the show.

Speaker 3 (01:42:21):
It's what I do, the show. You do. Unscreen phone calls,
Go ahead, forty push ups Mario.

Speaker 19 (01:42:28):
If Speedy, if Speedy could do a DNA test, what
percent over greet would he.

Speaker 3 (01:42:33):
Be, he would be fifty three percent over absolutely at least, yeah,
and I'd be looking back. I mean, I have a
lot of over greets in the family. I'd make it.
I'd make a case for sixty. Okay, we're just a
house happy bunch. It gives a lot, boy, you will
know that everybody around you, it's assured that everything's okay,
but caring. What's so sad about it, though, is I

(01:42:55):
think you're you're more concerned that people need that much
from you. When they don't, it goes from being appropriate
to being weird. You you could say it no better
than that, Okay, just weird. I'm not sure. I think
that's what he said. You think you're being nice? People
were just saying that got weird. That's what he hits me,

(01:43:16):
is he's he's appropriate appropriate?

Speaker 5 (01:43:19):
Oh no, make it a weird you know what it is.
I think y'all could help me, Okay, pull you back
by the round. I think if y'all could give a
little more that I wouldn't feel the pressure to go
buddy would That's another thing. When that lady were waving,
it was scared. I was terry, and then I felt
like we needed to explain in.

Speaker 3 (01:43:36):
Fact you tried to fix it is the best part. Well,
and the other thing is what's another thing to You're
quick to feel the gaps. You're quick to feel. Sometimes think,
even if we wanted to give more, we wouldn't have
a chance.

Speaker 5 (01:43:49):
I think if somebody has walked in here for a minute,
you should look up.

Speaker 3 (01:43:53):
You know, might be second, might be writing something down.
Stand at the door when the when the fox syat. Alright,
that's fine, I do by standing. Good to be here,
not looked up once. That's not true, not true what
some of us would be. But I'm not hello, one
seat ready, I agreed him. You're fine. I'm glad you're here.

(01:44:14):
Unlike Rick, I've started the show back and don't even
know where you are. Sometimes all right, we're working, Rick,
we're doing. I tell you what your turning up earlier

Rick Burgers show on screen phone calls, go ahead, good morning, Rick,
How are you fantastic?

Speaker 20 (01:45:07):
I back in twenty twenty, I was driving a truck.
I was out in Utah. I had picked out picked
up twenty five thousand pounds worth of shingles in Denver, Colorado,
and I went off of a mountain out of Utah.
And when I went started down the mountain, my trailer
brakes failed and all I had was my truck brakes,

(01:45:28):
and I was I'm pretty sure I was doing about
one hundred and thirty at one point, good night. I
had already got the left hand lane, got off my
seat belt and was going to come out of the
truck because I wasn't going off the mountain with it.

Speaker 3 (01:45:43):
Oh what happened?

Speaker 20 (01:45:46):
When I finally got stopped down at the bottom of
the mountain, I controlled the truck and there was an
incline at the bottom of the mountain. It kind of
went up as I started up that incline, I got
the truck slowed down enough that I stopped and I
had to get out of the truck and gather myself
because it scared me so bad.

Speaker 3 (01:46:06):
Yeah, yeah, pardon my ignorance here. When you got it
stopped even going on incline and the trailer now has
no brakes, does the weight of that start pulling it
back down the incline? And pardon my ignorance on that.

Speaker 20 (01:46:19):
No, because I still had enough truck breaks to keep
it from from going back. And the next day, when
I had my brakes redone there in Utah, after I
offloaded the brake, drums on my truck had turned white.
They had gotten so hot.

Speaker 3 (01:46:38):
Yeah. Hey, let me tell you. When you're going one
hundred and thirty and that trailer's pushing you and you
can't do anything about it with that kind of weight,
could they have put a penny nail in that in
that rear end?

Speaker 7 (01:46:47):
Oh no, no, there was no.

Speaker 20 (01:46:50):
No, No, I mean I was. I was drawed up,
and hey, hey, let me tell you something. The first
thing I did was thank God that I made it
through it. The second thing I did was call my
wife and told her I loved it.

Speaker 3 (01:47:05):
Well, let me say, let me send this on behalf
of everybody. You You were an absolute pro you sticking
with that and getting that thing stopped and not panicking.
We're applauding because I'm with you. I think I think
my instinct would have been I'm out. Yeah, And there's

(01:47:25):
no telling what could have happened with that truck. Thank
you for staying with it and getting to stop. Man.
Well done. Glad to know people like you have that
kind of training. Wow, did you start getting nervous hearing
about it? Yes? I thought I was in the truck.
You're not driving it, You're fine.

Speaker 2 (01:47:44):
Kidding.

Speaker 7 (01:47:44):
Hey, I found a picture of the penny nail that
they got.

Speaker 3 (01:47:50):
Let me tell you what I bet his. I bet
his the muscles and your glutious maximus. I bet I
bet you know when they got done repairing the brakes,
that repair that I don't let's see. Oh right up,

months of the Rick Burgers Show while we're away, and yes,
those will be on the podcast archive as well. Some
of you have been asking about that that's an upgrade
and the way we're doing it now that will work.
So yes, uh so I wanted to let you know
about that. So from from text Nation, this is a

(01:49:53):
funny story, by the way, so about what kind of
what happened with you? Speed you? But a different a
different one. So I had to share this one. This
is out of Alabama, says had to share this about
my wife. We stopped at a store to get some gasoline.
I went in the store to pay for the gasoline.
She went to the restroom. When she came out of
the store, she came out of the store first. And
when she came out, she was in another car beside

(01:50:15):
our car. She got in the wrong car and and
I see her in that car, and I actually videoed
it before I told her. I was laughing so hard,
but the look in her face was priceless. I got
in the wrong car to send her way down. Let's go.

Speaker 5 (01:50:30):
I'm gonna I've come out of uh you know, a store,
a big parking lot and gone to the wrong truck
before and I tried to pull the door, wasn't paying attention.

Speaker 7 (01:50:39):
My key's not working.

Speaker 3 (01:50:40):
Yeah, what's going on there? And you get two blocked.
You're like, what's wrong with my truck?

Speaker 5 (01:50:43):
Yeah, and then you realize this is not my true
that happened all too.

Speaker 3 (01:50:46):
That's yes. I felt real dumb when it. I actually
I actually loaded groceries in one that I guess they
left it unlocked and uh and so the door opened.
I'm like, yep, this is it. I'm putting groceries in.
I was hit. I'm like, wait a minute, that's not
the upholstery in my car went down the truck. I
was like, oh my gosh, I said, my truck and
then you want to try to close it for the
person wal say ituse what's wrong with you? Weirdo?

Speaker 16 (01:51:05):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:51:05):
And then I find myself kind of want to say, hey,
don't leave your truck and like that's not good. Somebody
could get in it, if somebody could like put groceries
in it attempt to drive off awkwardly. So I think
we video six Adler. I think we all would agree
that the Australian people, you know, one time we were
we were very much into Australians. Oh it was everything

(01:51:28):
crocodile dundee. So what we've done in my lifetime, we
have really been into Australians. Then we've really been into
Cajun's and now we're really into Alaskans. Oh yeah, it
feels like the Alaskans have kind of taken over Great
Frontier all this. But Australians they're they're fun people, you know.

(01:51:48):
They they work on the Barbie all thatoile. I'm not sure.
I'm not sure space exploration is for them. They're going
to attempt here, the Australians gonna make it, to make
a rocket. They're trying to reach orbit from their country's soil. Now,
this is Australian government, it's about It was just a

(01:52:10):
private and it was a Gilmour Space Technologies and it's.

Speaker 7 (01:52:13):
The very first Australian made rocket out got it?

Speaker 3 (01:52:16):
Yeah, And I'm not sure this is their thing. Okay,
So here we go. Okay, so we got greg. You
like that rocket? Yeah? Lifting lifting off? I'm struggling already.

Speaker 5 (01:52:27):
It's already not really going anywhere, not going, but won't
lift off.

Speaker 3 (01:52:33):
It won't go. That didn't even team, No, it didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:52:41):
It didn't get as high as a tree.

Speaker 7 (01:52:42):
Here's another view, well a little bit higher.

Speaker 3 (01:52:44):
I mean fourteen seconds, it.

Speaker 7 (01:52:46):
Got as high as itself.

Speaker 3 (01:52:48):
No. Oh blessed Lord.

Speaker 5 (01:52:51):
You think somebody got so excited about that, Well, now
we're spitting fire at the bottom.

Speaker 3 (01:52:56):
Goodness, Okay, think about all the work went.

Speaker 5 (01:53:00):
Oh yeah, somebody that day woke up excited show the world.

Speaker 3 (01:53:04):
That might make a good eed commercial. But that's about it.
I mean, that's yeah. I'm finishing strong, finish strong, finishing strong.
But you know, maybe you have to make vulgar looking
rockets from the work.

Speaker 5 (01:53:17):
This one's a fairly regular looking one, unlike Space X
and especially Blue Origin whatever it's God, it looked like
it was like old rocket from the past and it
did nothing. It looked like we were we were lacking
a little bit in the boost apartment, a lot of.

Speaker 3 (01:53:32):
Power. Now, yeah, from textingation, the alls is a good job.
You're only one hundred years behind everybody. That's a good boy.
So good, good one, y'all.

Speaker 8 (01:53:41):
That rocket was eighty two feet tall and it looks
like it made it about ninety feet in the air,
just barely above itself, came back down.

Speaker 3 (01:53:48):
But make a blooming onion. Okay, that's your thing.

Speaker 7 (01:53:52):
Make a noise.

Speaker 3 (01:53:54):
Yeah, the uh the I'll tell you what was? What was?
It was something that was on social media where the
husband had to admit the woman like that he had
to do with him picking up out back? Have you
seen this one? And he was so committed to not
getting busted. Then he realized though his wife got angry
and was calling them saying, they messed their order up.

(01:54:14):
Where's our blooming onion? It's not in here? Oh I saw,
And he finally had admit that he ate it. Oh no,
they are good old blooming unts. You know what you know.

That's a big old onion. That's my onion. That's a
lot of onion. If he ate that whole thing, you know,

(01:54:35):
when you stick with something. I guess they didn't give
it to us, and he didn't. You didn't counter to
going to the phone, and she's wearing out. The people
were talking about it was in there, ate it. We
didn't get a blooming onion, And all right, I'm not

it's going fine, and all of a sudden the cameras like, hey,
wait a minute, what is Stee doing here.

Speaker 2 (01:56:52):
With them?

Speaker 3 (01:56:52):
The whole game?

Speaker 2 (01:56:55):

Speaker 5 (01:56:56):
People break food in the big box for the big boxes,
and we always figure out who won't.

Speaker 3 (01:57:00):
Take us home? Shocking, great, great defense that I thought
our team played well, just my way saying thank you, Okay,

You better listen up.

Speaker 16 (01:57:34):
You know what we say.

Speaker 3 (01:57:37):
All you gotta.

Speaker 1 (01:57:40):
Find the voice of reason in an unreasonable world. The
Rick Burchers Show.

Speaker 3 (01:57:51):
Here we go, America. Thank you for being with us
as we start a brand new hour. So much to do?
Uh and we've then there's been a lot if you
missed it, you can't miss them in into the show.
Sorry you can't. You never know what's going to happen here. Literally,
we don't even know. Most of the time, we don't
even know. Be sure you catch what you missed on

(01:58:12):
the daily archives on the Rick Bergner Show podcast challenge.
Be sure you've got the notifications and you're following all
that's there, so you get the notification when the archives
ready and Adair usually has that thing out there not
long after the live show ends. So go back and
catching your part you missed or things you want to

(01:58:33):
go back and review. Okay, so starting the hour, scroll
down this little bit here. Have a question off text Nation.
They're really on fire today right there, Text Nation this
out of Alabama. Do you think a person can be
a pastor of a church and a politician at the
same time. I've only met a few people who do both,

(01:58:55):
and they have similar personalities and characteristics. It's become a
burning the logical question for me. Okay, I think if
you go back to the founding of the country, you
do find that there are ministers who were doing their part,
you know, with the revolution and things like that, and
I think during that time, certainly, do I think you

(01:59:18):
can do it in the modern setting? Just just my
personal opinion this. I'm not saying there's any biblical foundation
for or against. But I'm just going to say in
my opinion, which you know may not be worth much
to you, but you asked, no, I don't think so. Uh.
And and I and I've dabbled with that in my
own mind, you know, going through different things of trying

(01:59:40):
to be you know, a political activist a little bit,
really get involved and also do the ministry and do
this show. And I found it to be really awkward, uh,
and really difficult. And the reason why is, and this
is important when you are shepherding people and you're you're
making this disciples. Jesus Christ calls for zero compromise. Politics

(02:00:06):
calls for much compromise. So you've got one job that
calls for compromise. You have another calling, which is much
more important, that calls not to compromise the truth, not
to compromise the gospel, not to compromise God's standard. So
you've got no compromise with compromise. And to me, they

(02:00:29):
fight each other and they just can't be done because
sometimes in politics you have to we just saw it
happened with the budget. You have to go in and
sometimes compromise, even for a greater good. And some of
that you'll always end up if you try to be
a politician and a pastor. If you have a congregation
who cares, you're always gonna at some point on the

(02:00:51):
political side, walk into that poolpit on a Sunday and
have to explain something. Here's why I did that, here's
why I voted that way. And to me, they don't
work very well together. Now, if someone feels like they've
been called to do that and the congregation supports that,
that's between them God and the congregation. But you asked
our opinion on it. In my opinion would be it

(02:01:12):
can't be done not well, and.

Speaker 7 (02:01:14):
You're gonna have a real hard time getting re elected.

Speaker 3 (02:01:16):
If you do. If you do it the right way correct.
If you're over here not compromising the gospel and not
compromising God's truth, there's some societal areas you're gonna run
aground and so and you've got to love people enough
to tell him the truth. But more importantly, you got
to love God enough not to compromise him. He doesn't

(02:01:37):
need a pr agent. And over in the political realm,
it's all about pr So I don't think they go
together very well. So, so there you go. That's a
different one there, all right, So here's another story today.
So woman saves husband's life with bear spray during grizzly

(02:01:59):
attack in the wilderness. See, I look at this and
thank goodness. But I'm asking myself a hard question. And baby,
if you're listening, I love you so much talking about
my wife. I love you so much, and I know
that you mean to love me well, and you do.
But when it comes to danger with animals, there's been
a couple of times you kind of I'm not sure

(02:02:22):
you would you would go after the grizzly for me.
You're saying you turn around. She wouldn't be there. She's
she struggles when we're when there's when there's animal danger.
Been it's happened twice, you flease. She tends to go
into I must save myself for the good of the children.
And all she's got, you know it. All she's got
you is outrun you, and she can do that easily.
She is a sprinter, was it a distance runner? She's

(02:02:46):
a sprinter uh now uh? And she's really fast. And
if she's afraid, thanks year. So I would like to
think that my wife would get out the grizzly bear
spray and fight the grizzly off of me. I'm I
know she would mean to, and I know she loves
me with all her heart and she's wonderful to me,

(02:03:07):
but this is not her best place here. She hasn't
done well here, and we all have areas. We're not
that strong again, okay, And her abandoning you me to
be eaten by animals, she's she's owing to Okay. There
was the shark early on. I know we hadn't been
buried that long. Maybe she wasn't attached to me. Yeah,

(02:03:28):
but all I saw were her flippers and our snorkel
gear popping me in the face. Is she swam frantically away,
leaving me with the large fish. Okay, no heads up
with what's going on. And suddenly from the boat I hear,
I think that's a shark. You're on the boat. I'm

(02:03:50):
still out here dreading. Did you get up? And then
there was the safari. Oh yeah, then there was we
remember that, Oh buddy, the safari. That was probably the
clearest picture, that was crystal clear, and that you know
I have a bad foot. We know this, and at
the time I had not made a commitment to do

(02:04:12):
a little better. Okay, so I was a limping fat
person and she distanced herself from me quickly. Uh, probably good.
And she realized because we'd watch a lot of documentaries,
the predators had already picked me out of the crowd.
They knew we got a we got a limping fat guy.
We'll eat for a week on him, and he's struggling.

Speaker 7 (02:04:33):
Okay, do you remember on the cartoons when the guys
were like trapped on the boat and they'd look at
their buddy and their buddy just turns into like a
rotisserie chicken or what that was how the Lion's.

Speaker 3 (02:04:42):
Viewed show the God if all. Some of you don't
know the story, but the guide we had been in
a jeep safari and then that there was an option
without the kids to do an on foot safari, and
for some idiotic reason, we agreed to that, which is crazy.
And so the guy with the who was leading us
had a gun. There were two guys, and they had

(02:05:03):
guns that were so big. These were such large guns.
And if you remember the statement, if we are approached
by a predator, do not run. If you decide to run,
you would just be tired when you die. And I thought,
oh wow, in the minute they said that, I looked

(02:05:26):
around to talk to my wife about it, and she
wasn't there. Hey, babe, And I look standing next to
the guy with the gun at the front of the line.
Is my wife looking back at me like she did
from the boat and goes, I'm sorry. And I'm like,
can I come up there? And everyone stay where you are?
She's up here with me, and I'm like, babe, why
an't you by the guy with the gun. She's like,
I'm sorry, no room for you up here. I think

(02:05:49):
they're coming after you.

Speaker 2 (02:05:50):
Get you.

Speaker 3 (02:05:51):
You look like the sick injured, you know, part of
our group. That's the ones that are going after it.
I don't want to be standing back there bad. And
if you come up here, you go bring her toward us.
And I thought, wow, So I don't know that this
would have I don't know how I would have fared here.
I'd like to think she would have brought out the.

Speaker 5 (02:06:08):
Bear spray's hearing grizzly encounter is just awful.

Speaker 3 (02:06:11):
How effective is bear spray? It works here? It works
here when people say it's no camp. So the husband
and wife were taking the leisurely bike ride. Oh my gosh,
it is US and Canadian trail.

Speaker 6 (02:06:25):
It was.

Speaker 3 (02:06:26):
It took a terrifying turn. They spooke two grizzly bears.
The quick thinking by the woman likely saved both their lives.
She used bear spray to drive the animals away. Four
thirty pm this past Saturday. The woman told authority she
heard her husband yell before seeing a bear charged toward them,
and she reacted with her bear spray. She noticed another

(02:06:48):
grizzly attacking her husband, she deployed again the spray, successfully
driving both bears away. Okay, well, I guess it does.
This is how it would have read from me. When
interviewing Sherry Burgess, she said she heard her husband yell
before seeing a bear charged toward her. She sprayed that
one in the eyes and ran as fast as she could,
leaving the other one to eat her husband. She's not
sure where her husband is when he was, she says,

(02:07:10):
I have no idea. I heard a lot of hollering. Yeah,
so that's good. That's uh all right? Well does a
grizzly give a false charge or is it just go
whal in coming? So did you did you try for
your husband at all? Missus Burgess? I threw a can
toward him. I don't know. I guess he just didn't
get to it.

Speaker 7 (02:07:29):
I think sometimes baby, they'll do one false charge.

Speaker 3 (02:07:32):
But we hold yours out. It's like, well, yeah, sorry, bear,
hey bear, we'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (02:07:40):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, the man who could
fix the entire commercial airline industry if they would only
give him a shot.

Speaker 3 (02:08:00):
Week Thank you very much. Text Nation hilarious. They're now
doing quotes from Sherry. She said, I wouldn't concern O.
Seventy five can survive anything. I feel bad for the bear.
All right, didn't go well and Sherry said, oh, seventy
five finally met his mat.

Speaker 7 (02:08:21):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:08:21):
You know they talk about grizzlies a false charging. They
can and will. You're right, but I remember back to Africa,
and we've said this before. There's two animals in Africa
that will not false charge, the cape buffalo and the hippopotamus.
When they're coming, they're coming, they're coming, you know. And
you remember we did the story of the guy. And

(02:08:42):
I don't mean to speak ill of people who got
killed by animals, because you know it's one of my
greatest fears. But when the guy in Oklahoma tried to
ranch Cape Buffalo's and they killed him in one day.
You can't ranch Cape Buffalo's. Okay, they killed him in
one day. I mean he did not get through a day. Okay,
they and they kill a lot of people. So so anyway,

(02:09:05):
I want to talk about this because and I took
advantage of these. I mean, we have these right now
and we're thinking about when we get back from vacation,
maybe putting a pair on the wheel. And that's these
by Raycon every Day ear Buds by Raycon dot Com
slash big Box. Now, a classic just got better, A

On that note too. Since we're talking about wives and

(02:10:31):
you've had to go through what you went through yesterday's
speedy with yours, with secondhand and over greeting and all that,
I want to ask you guys a question because this
kind of was something we discussed yesterday. When you're in
separate cars, Okay, Now, y'all know that I've got to
get to where I'm going, and I've got to get

(02:10:51):
there in record time, and I've got I'm gonna look
for ways to maneuver through and everything. So and Sherry's
pretty good with that too, and she's got her little
car and she zooms around and all that. So we
were leaving Moms, you know, after we were done here,
Mom talk about Greg, and so we we we're leaving
and we're going home and we're like, hey, we have

(02:11:13):
what we're gonna do about eating? And she was like, well,
let's just grab something and won't we just stop over
at such and such. It's right on the way, but
we're in separate cars. So coming out of Moms even
though Greg has you know, he didn't have to use
the code, but when you're coming out of the gate,
you now have to merge with what can be a
very active place. And we had stayed over there for
several hours, so it's now in everybody's it's it's it's

(02:11:34):
a busy time out on this road, and it's just
it's just a it means one hour, No, it doesn't
sixty three hours. Three hours means hour and a half,
all right, so three hours. It's a two lane road,
two lane road. Okay, So you got it, Mark, there's
no red light, there's no anything. You just got to
get in traffic. Well I noticed that, Sherry, she gets

(02:11:56):
out there and she's gone. I was like, wow, that
was a good move. She left you again. Well again,
it was similar to the grizzly attack. So so I
was like, well, good, she's moving on. She was so
far ahead of me. And I want to make this
point clear, because I struggled at traffic with just what
it wouldn't give. She was so far ahead of me.
I text what I wanted to eat. That's how far

(02:12:17):
I had ahead of me. I thought she was okay,
So I finally get out, and now I'm approaching the
red light. Big intersection takes forever. I'm not gonna make
the first rotation. Yeah, and so again I'm like, well,
at least she knows what I want. Okay. So was
she stopping to get something?

Speaker 5 (02:12:37):
We were gonna eat at a place together? Okay, so
go ahead and order.

Speaker 3 (02:12:40):
Yeah, because it's one of those places which is not
my favorite, especially if I'm going to eat lunch with
somebody or go to dinner with my wife or whatever.
I don't like the you gotta order before you go
sit down. I want to sit down. Somebody come over
this order yeah, okay, So if something because somebody waiting
on you, they can't do anything till you get there. Okay,
you're right, yeah, I mean you know, if you beat

(02:13:01):
somebody there on the sit down, let me order, you
can get order appetizer, you can go ahead and get
something to drink all that, but if you're hey, you
got to order your food before you ever sit down,
and you can't meet there at the same time, you're struggling,
and that is not the place you want to meet
somebody who's chronically late. You have you ever have these
friends that can't get anywhere on time. And it's okay
if you always because you beat them to the restaurant,

(02:13:22):
if you can sit down and start your whatever, But
if you've got to wait and look at the menu
over and over again because you got to order, you
just stand around waiting on them, and the line keeps
going past you, and you're like, I could have already
been up there. You know, those things are in my
mind constantly, I know. So I didn't want her to
be in that situation because I got caught in traffic.
So I'm like, go ahead, this is what I want,
just ordered. I would have well, I did notice for

(02:13:43):
a brief moment an automobile that looked like my wives,
but I thought, well, she's not the one that has
that car, and there's no way that I would be
I would have caught her. It's not possible. So, well,
this person in this car that just like my wives,
I thought, was kind of, you know, kind of piddling
a little bit. And so there was a car trying

(02:14:04):
to turn left, but there was another lane open on
the right and the turn left you got to go
up a little bit then turn left into where we're going. Well,
I zoom around them, get up, her turn left and
go find me a parking spot. As I'm parking, I'm like,
I see my wife driving up with that look on
her face. And I'm like, how was I ahead of you?
She goes, you just zoom right past me. And I

(02:14:25):
was like, how, it's not even positive. I've text my
order to you. What have you been doing?

Speaker 2 (02:14:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:14:29):
And she was like, well, we were all in traffic.
You didn't see me, You don't recognize my car. I
couldn't believe when I looked at them, you zoom right
past me? She goes. She goes, you couldn't wait, just
sit and let that person turn where I could go
up and turn left. You zoom right around me? And uh?
And I said, and apparently got her first and order,
And she goes, how did you not know that was me?
I said, baby, I didn't think it was possible. You

(02:14:50):
were still How did I catch you? That didn't even
seem possible. Yeah, she goes, Did you just zoom right
around me? I didn't mean to zoom around you. No,
I zoomed around the person that was kind of pibbling. Yeah,
but what she got side and it's busy as it
is there, she just yeah, you know you thought she
had ordered. I guess she bogged down me that she
never got stopped once she made that turn. Yeah, well
you know what I said. You know what I thought of.

(02:15:10):
I thought of on behalf of men everywhere, you know,
I thought of, wow, I made great time. Yeah, oh yeah,
even with the head stars that pulled around was masterful.
Oh it was. And I told her, I said, maybe
give me something on that beautiful move. She goes. You
mean that rude mood? I said, wasn't rude? I have
every right to do that. She goes right past your wife,
and and I was like, well, I didn't know that
was you. I didn't think that was possible. So you

(02:15:31):
don't recognize my car? Yes, I said to myself, We'll
look at that car. It looks like Cherry's. As I
zoomed right passion But there's no way it's her, because
she's in there ordering her food. I said, frankly, I'm
disupported her foods, not on the way that you made
terrible time, right? Could you not? How could I beat
you here? You need to go back and rethink your
whole thing, I said, And now I thought about it,
is wow. I took that round fifteen hundred and I

(02:15:52):
zoomed through that traffic cutting and jibing. I was kind
of proud of I was kind of proud to pulls
that off out of the hour. We'll be right back
stack Gus.

Speaker 1 (02:16:04):
This is the Rick Burgess Show Strange Encounters, the new

(02:16:26):
podcast from Rick Birch's Get It No wherever you get podcasts.

Speaker 20 (02:16:49):
Just f y.

Speaker 3 (02:16:49):
I okay, so we got Wednesday's Bible study yesterday? Is
that archive is available, which leads us to Kentucky rick
Off text Nation. I'm sure there's something in the Bible
about patience, and you're an expert on but maybe you
should go back and review the Bible and what it
says about patience. Am I impatient? I've noticed I'm not impatient.

(02:17:16):
I just like to make good time. Hm. That's not
being impatient. I'm I'm super impatient. God, I might have
to call you mama. Look, how look how long I've
known Greg. I mean that alone probably gets me into
hap it, you know, I mean that's uh, he always
been to mister patience patient. Well, how about this, I'm

(02:17:40):
a pretty good company. Moses wasn't very patient. You got
to go all the way to Moses. Well, I'm just saying.
I'm just saying that it's patience is a virtue. Impatience
will be a fruit of the spirit. But this is
a sanctification process. Meaning am I more patient than I was?
I'm growing, I'm getting more patient. Yeah. Yeah, And you know,

(02:18:04):
making good time, that's not being impatient, that's just being
What about when we're told to be wise with our time,
not like the unwise, be good stewards of time. You're
leaving that part out mister Bible expert in Kentucky.

Speaker 5 (02:18:16):
I know how opposite to tract is Shary patient?

Speaker 4 (02:18:19):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (02:18:19):
Not not really. I wouldn't call her overly patient. Uh,
she's patient with me, she would say, And I bet
I think there's some truth in that, But I wouldn't.
I wouldn't call her overly patient. No, we're We're quite
the dynamic duel of patience.

Speaker 8 (02:18:35):
So don't you love it when you're in like some
kind of public setting with your spouse and you both
know you're just dying inside because of what's going on.

Speaker 7 (02:18:44):
It's kind of fun.

Speaker 8 (02:18:45):
It's kind of like a bonding moment. You can talk
about it later and complain about It's great.

Speaker 3 (02:18:49):
I think. I think sometimes my what what I'm calling for,
my yearning for justice, is often mislabeled as being impatient.
And this is a conversation I had with Shary at
the airport. She goes, I don't know why you get
like this. I said, it's not being impatient. I'm crying
out for justice. I mean, this is not a this
is this is not a free ticket. It's not a

(02:19:09):
free flight. We're all needing to get somewhere. All these
people are being made late some people are missing parts
of their vacation. People paid money for this, We're not
getting what we paid for. It's some of this has
nothing to do with the weather. It has to do
with just and ineptness, a bad system, and I'm trying

(02:19:30):
to stand up for what's right. I'm pretty sure that's
in the Bible too.

Speaker 7 (02:19:34):
That is it is, that's true.

Speaker 3 (02:19:36):
All this is biblical good. Okay, every bed of it.
I thought I was.

Speaker 8 (02:19:40):
I thought I was impatient until I had a two
year old son and I'm like, wow, I'm a very
patient person.

Speaker 3 (02:19:45):
Yes, yeah, it is.

Speaker 7 (02:19:47):
It is less than a second sometimes and they're screaming
at you, and you're.

Speaker 8 (02:19:51):
Like, whoa, whoa, buddy, like they got zero patient, Like
van's in park, now, get out, get out, get.

Speaker 12 (02:19:58):
Out, get out.

Speaker 3 (02:19:59):
Give it a minute, buddy.

Hey buddy, the engine is still running. Shut its way

We're not saying by his hide.

Speaker 7 (02:20:20):
If he was on flat grain right, I'm don't make
me get short with you.

Speaker 5 (02:20:25):
But you know, we all love a schedule, and yesterday
afternoon late, our schedule that.

Speaker 3 (02:20:29):
We had was kind of falling apart.

Speaker 5 (02:20:31):
And and I think Terry says, sometimes I have a
tendency to rant a little bit out loud, and I
don't know what she's talking about, but uh, she's like,
what are you doing? I'm about the opposite the track.
She's a little bit more laid back at times, and
she's like, well, this is it's just we got to do,
is what it is?

Speaker 3 (02:20:48):
Just calm down? Was it? What? What are you accomplishing?

Speaker 5 (02:20:51):
Like?

Speaker 3 (02:20:51):
What what's it? How's it affecting? Is? Greg's covered that before?
It does? Accomplish it? It does?

Speaker 5 (02:20:55):
And I said, I said, I know, but I mean
how we in this mess? As we were behind the train,
so you know, but if she did help kind of
calm me down a little, Yeah, what are you gonna
do it?

Speaker 3 (02:21:05):
Greg? Greg said this one time and eight and it
was and it was profound. I see that people who
try to tell us what why, what good is this?
Will this go? This ranting? Just talking about it? This?
This is us therapy. This therapy for me. We're working
it out. Like you said, remember that time you broke
something and you were asked did that make you feel better?
And your answer was it did.

Speaker 18 (02:21:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:21:26):
It leaves a lot of stress breaking stuff. Yeah, I
mean when you it objects, you know, not things of
real big value. No, well, sometimes that accidentally gets caught
up in it. That was it the rake that time?

Speaker 5 (02:21:37):
Oh many rakes, anything, anything, anything that will not crank right, yeah,
oh yeah, but no to see that thing of people going, well,
you can't change it.

Speaker 3 (02:21:51):
Why are you? Why are you ranting about it? Because
if I don't rant, I think I'll dine. I think
I'll die. This is me letting the pressure out, right,
you know, yes, I know a little bit. I know
it's not changing anything. But I feel better that I
keep acknowledging what everybody else. Yes, I understand everyone knows.
They might not know what I know. Because I listened

(02:22:12):
to conversations. I overhear things, Oh wow, we don't have enough.
They don't have enough on the crew. They're waiting on somebody,
and they'll go, how did you catch it? I said, Man,
if you'll just listen, you can hear them. They're telling
you the problems yeah, you think our planes leaving. No,
I heard a conversation man to go. You see that
person right there, that person throw that person the plane
that we're on.

Speaker 5 (02:22:30):
Stut here yet now you became the spokesman for your
entire Well, it's just like I did that.

Speaker 3 (02:22:34):
I got through a little curveman, and go in the
lobby because you know, I want a tax says asked
me about Sweet two hundred. Yeah, when you're an over
greeter in the lobby. And I went out there and
I saw somebody confused looking at the you know, you
assume the menu, and I said Sweet two hundred and
he goes, no, two fifty, and I said, oh, well,
that throws me a curse. He'll be on the second floor, though,
thank you. You don't know why you're looking around. That's
exactly what I said. I said, Now we will go

(02:22:55):
ahead and let you know something. You know you're on
the first floor. So so if it's two fifty, probably
not down here. Let's walk this out. I didn't say that.
I think I said it. I think I said it
with my countenance.

Speaker 7 (02:23:06):
If I'm going to it's like a four story building
and I'm trying to get to room three, ten. Yes,
what floor should I go to?

Speaker 18 (02:23:14):
Right?

Speaker 7 (02:23:15):
Okay, just so the rule apply.

Speaker 3 (02:23:17):
Okay, two floors. I get that good? All right. So
we have a Denver man. This is a great one, guys.
This is this is pretty good all the way up.
Denver Denver, he recognizes. Now, tell me what a paramotor is.
It's it's what hang gliders, just for hang gliders.

Speaker 8 (02:23:35):
Kind of basically para gliding is when you have a
parachute above your head. You guys have seen these, guys, Yeah,
it's in fact, there was that pair of gliding man
that crashed the boxing.

Speaker 7 (02:23:45):
Match yes back in the day.

Speaker 3 (02:23:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:23:48):
Yeah, So you got a huge fan on your back
and you got a parachute above you. That's that's what
a paramotor is. And they're very expensive because it's just.

Speaker 3 (02:23:54):
What killed John Denver. No, he was in just a
it was just an experimental you had him in it.

Speaker 7 (02:24:00):
This he was an experimental aircraft.

Speaker 3 (02:24:02):
Oh yeah, you didn't know that.

Speaker 7 (02:24:05):
I thought he was just a plane. Okay, so you know,
I tell you what that John Denver's for. Okay, wow, okay.

Speaker 3 (02:24:13):
Yeah, it was one something like you built in his garage.
One of those kids when those kids you get look
at this one. Body knows that.

Speaker 7 (02:24:20):
It's like it's got a It's like an airplane with
a mustache.

Speaker 3 (02:24:24):
I don't get sidetracked on John Dinner. Oh is that
what he was in?

Speaker 7 (02:24:28):
I think something similar.

Speaker 3 (02:24:29):
Yeah, Yeah, you're right, it's like an airplane with the mustard.
That's a pretty good description there, John denvers he wasn't
He didn't know anything, all right. So he recognizes a
guy who stowed his motor.

Speaker 7 (02:24:41):
So this dude, uh hoodie, the paramotor is stolen from
the front step.

Speaker 3 (02:24:47):
That y'all.

Speaker 7 (02:24:47):
This guy that found the paramotor and return it to
the person is so proud of the good work that
he has done. It is amazing.

Speaker 3 (02:24:54):
All right, here we go.

Speaker 6 (02:24:55):
Eric Kamassi's doorbell camera saw it all this weekend on Saturday, devastating.
It captured her eight thousand dollars paramotor stolen over the
porch that Monday morning.

Speaker 19 (02:25:05):
However, is this to.

Speaker 3 (02:25:09):
A different story.

Speaker 7 (02:25:10):
I feel like I kind of saw the worst in
people and then immediately the best in people.

Speaker 6 (02:25:14):
Against all odds, Massey's paramot made it home.

Speaker 7 (02:25:17):
Her reaction, he literally like crumpled to the ground. I
was in tears.

Speaker 6 (02:25:24):
Different tiers from Saturday. Thanks to Dominic Armstrong's desire to
beat the heat at work.

Speaker 16 (02:25:29):
I watched the news every day because I have to
dress for the weather.

Speaker 6 (02:25:33):
Armstrong says he saw a man dragging the box in
a wagon near where he works for the Burlington Northern
Santa Fe Railroad, and when he got closer, recognized the
fly Products logo mentioned in our story.

Speaker 22 (02:25:44):
I was already like, hold on, wait, let me see
what's aside. He showed me what was the side and
automatically knew where it came from.

Speaker 6 (02:25:50):
He says he was able to wrestle the wagon away
and went to Massy's neighborhood and knocked on doors until
he found someone who knew the right house.

Speaker 16 (02:25:57):
I want her to direct me and take me to
the house to show the people what I had obtained.

Speaker 6 (02:26:01):
When Massy came to the door, they knew the paramotor
was home.

Speaker 3 (02:26:06):
We did what we could to get it back here
we could.

Speaker 18 (02:26:11):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (02:26:12):
We need more people like that in the world.

Speaker 6 (02:26:13):
Of the two stories told by Massi's doorbell camera, Armstrong
hopes the second leaves a lasting impact and to touch.

Speaker 16 (02:26:20):
It still anything all you have to do is go
to work and obtain it the right way.

Speaker 3 (02:26:28):
Obtain it, obtain it, he said, he's talk.

Speaker 5 (02:26:33):
He said he was watching the news to get the
weather because he's outside and he needs to know how
to dress or whatever. And he said, so when he
was watching the weather, he saw a news story about
this being stolen.

Speaker 3 (02:26:43):
He lost me there. Yeah, he was saying, that's right,
he saw it. That's how he's watching that stolen. How
about this, here's the problem. If he had only downloaded
James Fan's app. He didn never help these guys.

Speaker 7 (02:26:55):
That's a fact. But you know what, can we hear
the guy being proud of himself.

Speaker 3 (02:27:00):
Again, Well, how about good for him, blessing for that
family and him.

Speaker 7 (02:27:03):
He's like, I am black Man. What did you say
instead of Batman?

Speaker 3 (02:27:08):
Oh? Really, I don't think. I don't think, he said,
hold on.

Speaker 22 (02:27:12):
Wait, let me see what's aciety. He showed me what
was aside, and I automatically knew where it came from.

Speaker 6 (02:27:17):
He says he was able to rest with the wagon
away and went to Massey's neighborhood and knocked on doors
until he found someone who knew the right.

Speaker 16 (02:27:24):
I wanted her to direct me and take me to
the house so I could show the people what I
had obtained.

Speaker 3 (02:27:29):
Greg, he was proud. Don't this story? He returned it.
They paid him money for finding it. Boom, Greg, he said,
not how much is worth? Bro about eight grand? So

(02:27:51):
I get one grand? You're steal seven ahead, boy, she
could read one of my dad's boys till he's not.

Speaker 7 (02:27:56):

And honestly, that's terrible. That that is absolutely terrible.

Speaker 5 (02:30:38):
Did he say him in his life?

Speaker 3 (02:30:41):
I will say that life, he was trying to get
a creative way to get it in that we removed blasphemy.
I will, but I will say, don't say trying to
don't encourage this, Greg. I mean, I'm not saying it
was right, but I get it when he was trying
to do. Greg, you're dangerous with you can get by
the censors when when that kind of set up. But Greg,

(02:31:03):
you're being dangerous with your powers. You now have text
nations saying, yeah, we don't think that guy really is
the guy that brought that thing back. Now you've got
them he's in on it, don't you just take it?
He was reckless with your power. He was so animated
about how good he is. Yeah, you know, do you
agree he's reckless with his powers. He looked like the
kind of guy do something right.

Speaker 5 (02:31:20):
But guys, he just the way he cared himself, you
could tell he was really he was being blessed for
bringing it back. But we got a block a blessing
to him. We got a block day, didn't get a reward.
He didn't do it for that's what it's about. He
did it because that's the right thing to do.

Speaker 3 (02:31:34):
But what I'm saying is you'll know him. This guy
that just called though back to the call guy. The
guy who just called, that guy has zero he's not
afraid of God at all. He has zero fear of God.
I will give him an a for you know, there's
no way cannot applaud that kind of behavior. That was

(02:31:55):
pretty effect. You don't encourage. I'm discouraging. All right, here

be blasphemous about it. That's right. Yeah, you know what
she's saying. He wasn't talented enough to do it any
other way. You know, you're exactly right, Greg, You're right.

with the request line at eighty eight six big vox.

Speaker 6 (02:36:41):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:36:41):
So uh, James James Man says, another Hogwood out there,
that's a burner. Watch that heat index. Stay hydrated. By
the way, Beard does the opposite. All right, So, first
of all, James Cannup the one that's saying we think
it's still a lot. That's junior speeding. It's just dad
that we did. We did even working well.

Speaker 5 (02:37:02):
We did a quick search with like seconds remaining, uh
and before we had to go to commercial breaks.

Speaker 3 (02:37:10):
And it's taking in many places.

Speaker 5 (02:37:12):
It just said James came up, he passed away in
twenty seventeen, that I thought I started looking at Wait
a minute, that was actually his dad.

Speaker 3 (02:37:18):
He was senior Junior still singing like it was. I
don't know, just hope. So you want if he sing
at his funeral? Oh my goodness, speedy.

Speaker 18 (02:37:28):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (02:37:29):
No, I'm just I'm picturing it. I'm probably looking for
a city, all right. I want you to picture this.
Look about that. We're at the we're at the We're
at the funeral of James Canup Senior because we want
to show our respect. We did. And all of a sudden,
James Cannup Junior gets up there and says this next
and final song from and all of a sudden he's like,

(02:37:51):
I want to sing for my dad, and he does
up beautle Land or something. Oh boy, be tough. I'll
tell you one thing I would look over at you,
and I would say it was worth the drive. Yeah,
you're right, the effort was worth it. I'm so glad
we're here, aren't you. Yeah. I wouldn't want to be
anywhere else. Some speedy es. Yes, he's under a bench
out in the lobby. Yeah, apologize with somebody because they
waved at him and didn't know them. All Right, where's

(02:38:13):
where's Adler? He's up there on the drums. James a
straight face. So so anyway, and that's all. Uh so
unscreen phone calls again. I don't know what to say
about it. Yeah. Good. Also from the first name. Also
from the the text line, Rick, I know you're not

(02:38:34):
watching The Chosen anymore? Is there any particular reason for that?
Do you think they were doing a good job on me?
Did you declare you didn't want to know? I did,
I said, I said on the show, And no, I
don't have any indictment anything I'm upset about or hey whatever.
I can't really explain it. I really can't. Uh, I
told you I did the same thing. I'm not saying
I won't go back. I just haven't sat down and
go Hey, let me finish that. I think I think

(02:38:54):
one of the things is I had seen, I'd moved,
I'd moved to the new ones. I'd already seen. I
think how many seasons are there now?

Speaker 18 (02:39:02):
Five?

Speaker 3 (02:39:04):
And I think i'd seen four seasons or at least
three and a half. And I was finding it that
it took a lot of effort for me to get
the episode, find it mirrored, mirrored on the screen.

Speaker 5 (02:39:16):
And now you don't have but the new one still
that you don't You are all of them, all the one.
I thought the new ones on it like Prime, and
then and then that thing when they went into the
movie theaters that confused me.

Speaker 3 (02:39:28):
The latest one is on Prime. It's on one of
them because I watched the latest season, so just simple yeah, okay,
so I think it's Prime. You kind of have a
little bit of swab because I remember when like Netflix
and stuff had the old ones or somebody. But but
you're telling me the new one. Just go search and really,

(02:39:50):
I don't know. I thought you'd started the new one
the latest season?

Speaker 7 (02:39:54):
Uh, season.

Speaker 3 (02:39:57):
Long?

Speaker 7 (02:39:58):
Season five was really in June?

Speaker 3 (02:40:02):
Is it on Amazon? Prime released?

Speaker 7 (02:40:04):
It says? It was released in June?

Speaker 3 (02:40:06):
Yeah, and it's on Prime. You're sure about that? Series
said the season first did you say the Last Supper
was a little long, A little bit it was the
last supper there? No, No, I don't have I don't listen,
there's some things in there. Whatever I'm I'm all about it.

(02:40:27):
I don't have any issue with it. I did. I
will say this and not. No, no, this is all
all seasons a wrong. But you know how, just like anything,
like if you're doing something and it's kind of something
you do on a regular basis, there's a rhythm to it,
and if you ever get off that rhythm. And so
what happened was at one time, I will say, I

(02:40:48):
forget what season it was. I thought the Bible still
had I thought they documented the healing of people and
these giant momentous moments of Jesus in history. I thought
they did fantastic. I think the acting is great. But
then it's like they started feeling they had the desire

(02:41:09):
because I know what the original intent was, to show
these early disciples that they were just people like everybody else.
And I love that. But then they started like almost
going further down that road than I needed. I don't
really need y'all to develop. Things going on between Peter
and his wife at the house that the Bible doesn't address.
I know those things probably went on, they were human beings,

(02:41:31):
they were married. But we almost started chasing these side
narratives and we got off the main narrative and back
to I do have a desire for things to keep moving,
and there you go. And I was like, I feel
like we're chasing some rabbits here that I really am
not interested in. I want to get back to these

(02:41:51):
momentous moments that were moving me to tears sometimes, you
know what I mean. I mean they were that well done,
what sort of I mean? I stung, They stung the
water tole bit and that's big for me. It's what
you like for other people. That's like other people like
wailing for me to get stingyr eyes and watery. So
they were very moving, and I kind of thought I'd

(02:42:12):
like first to get back to the big narratives. I
don't like these little side narratives. But it's not an
indictment or anything. But I will say this, it's one
of those things like, hey, look, I'll talk about what
we're doing right here on this right here. What we're
doing right here right now a lot less important, but
what we're doing right here, right now. I have noticed

(02:42:32):
by listening to people, because I don't think you've ever arrived.
You got to keep banging on your craft. And one
of the things I've noticed and we've tried to do better,
is that you got to keep people's attention now and
sometimes they like what you're doing. Like I like the Chosen,
but if you ever give me a reason to leave
it and start looking before I know it, I've been

(02:42:52):
gone and have it come back. It's not because I'm
against it. I just never got around to it again
because there's so many other things. That's why you got
to make sure that you don't lose people's interests, because
they may still like what you're doing, but just go
I'm going to go away for a minute. And that's
what they mean to do before they flipped through their
Instagram and flipped through this and scrolled that they've been
going a half hour and they're like, wow, I didn't

(02:43:12):
mean to leave that long. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:43:14):
Used in one thousand pounds sisters on TLC.

Speaker 3 (02:43:16):
Now, I mean, it's hard to quit watching that what
you get in it. You just have so many other
things now. So I got off track with the Chosen
when I used to be one of these when's the
next episode coming for you? And I got a little
bored with some of the side narratives, and I've never
gotten back to it. Good news, You're right.

Speaker 5 (02:43:33):
Originally it was so hard to find mirror this, mirror that,
blah blah blah. Now it's all there on Prime and
you can watch it all and I have seen how Yeah,
but I'm not I got no problem with it at all.
They get a little anie every now and then. I
think sometimes we can get a little silly.

Speaker 3 (02:43:51):
We've said and said back in the Rick and Bubba days.
If God created us and made us in his image,
a sense of humor must be something that is there.
And there's moments in the Bible where Jesus says things
that obviously are tongue in cheek when dealing with people.
We don't have to get but we can get a
little a little silly with that. Sometimes it don't get

(02:44:12):
silly with Jesus. I'm just you know, I'm talking you
just some of it's a little bit okay, now, yeah,
showing his lighter side is fine with me. But when
the Son of God's doing not jokes, come on, now, yeah,
that what she says to his to his credit, that

(02:44:38):
was Judas, so there is some comedy.

Speaker 5 (02:44:43):
You've spent this entire segment complaining about it, but say
you have no problem with it.

Speaker 3 (02:44:47):
I'm just I want to help it. I'm not, but
you know what I mean. I don't want people to
think that I found some theological problem that I think
that's not the issue. Story was hard to find it,
but we know it was hard. Were not clear on it.

(02:45:07):
That's now it's not all file say is it all
on Brome?

Speaker 2 (02:45:11):
All of them?

Speaker 5 (02:45:11):
It is?

Speaker 3 (02:45:12):
Well, that's gonna make a lot easier. I'm back. Yeah, I.

Speaker 18 (02:45:19):
Just didn't like it.

Speaker 1 (02:45:19):
When Judas goes, he did say, this is the Rick
Burgess Show. The people who don't like this show you

(02:45:43):
wouldn't like anyway, the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 3 (02:45:49):
Oh yeah, you talk about it. People be a drag.

I get a shot, let's all get a shot. When

agree with this, have I? I don't even know if
I've ever mentioned this. I played a little ball, No,

(02:47:34):
and I was seventy five and know its actually football
foot Yeah, but but you know you think about glory days. Okay,
you think about glory days. Yeah. I've never really mentioned
much about it. But but I will say this, I
have never met a person who played the game of football.

(02:47:56):
Never that says, I tell you what I miss is
I miss summer?

Speaker 15 (02:48:01):
No?

Speaker 3 (02:48:02):
Do two days even exist anymore? I don't know. I
don't know is that even a rule on it? Do
they do it at all? Now?

Speaker 5 (02:48:09):
See any word from Taylor coach they would have early
practice in afternoon workouts was yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:48:18):
But I'm talking about like we practiced twice a day
and usually when we're putting the pads on, here we go.

Speaker 5 (02:48:22):
Remember that were rules you could only do it was
like a week or two. I can't remember right when
you came back you could. Everybody went twice a day
until a certain point. I remember, like I'm old enough
to remember when it was full blown two full weeks,
two practices a day. Here we go, yeah, okay, high
school and college. Yeah, and then I remember, yeah, we're

(02:48:42):
still doing it, but like you said, Greg, not as
many days. Yeah, and then there was, you know, so
many days of shoulder pads and helmets and then all this.
But then wasn't there kind of a movement to get
rid of them altogether. I'm talking about practicing, I'm about
working out. I'm talking about because we had two practice Yeah,
we did one the morning and be a little kicking

(02:49:03):
game heavy, but it was still though group saying how
about and just it only happened for about two days,
but in a major confusion at Troy, I actually practiced
four times a day for two days that it was well,
and I didn't.

Speaker 3 (02:49:19):
It was a mistake, but you're a freshman, you know,
you got to keep your mouth shut. Of course, it
led to an incident, but it was you might recall
the incident, but it was they were doing the freshmen
just the first few days to try to fail what
they've got. You know, freshmen come out to do about
a forty five minute practice, wasn't a full two hour
Here comes the varsity. The veterans now a full blown practice. Okay,

(02:49:45):
most freshmen, we're not participating that much. Break come back, freshman,
let's see you again. For about forty five minutes later
in the day, then here comes the team out, full
blown practice. Well, most of the freshmen were not. We're
only participating in the freshman let's have a look at
you two forty five minute practices. They pretty much were

(02:50:07):
standing around the rest of the time because they weren't
getting in much of what was going on. Well, Haystacks
and me and there might have been one other. It's
not because I mean we were we played and we
got whatever. But the team at the time at Troy
was in a rebuilding mode, so a lot of young
guys were getting pushed ahead, probably quicker than we would

(02:50:29):
have been if they had had more depth. Well, he
and I got put into the varsity practices immediately. Well,
I mean we were like second team like day one. Well,
no one, I don't think anybody knew that. And so
they were putting us in all the practices because we got,
you know, the name across our helmet signifying freshmen, and

(02:50:49):
you're a freshman, so you got to keep your mouth shut,
you know, And so finally the incident happened, and that's
what brought attention to it. And I'm not proud of
the incident, but I'm just talking about it was snap,
Well I snapped. It was that was and that was
the summer of eighty three. Go look it up. Go
look up at the summer of eighty three. I know
everybody pretends it is only summer it's ever been on,
but go look at the summer of eighty three. It was. Hey,

(02:51:11):
it was tough out there. And I'm in South Alabama
where the state bird is a gnat down in a hole.
The defense practiced down in a hole, I think, to
make us mean we could even breathe down in there.
And yeah, so I was. I was in the fourth
practice of day two. Uh and and he didn't know
this is I don't this. This should not have happened. Okay.

(02:51:35):
I was trying so hard to stay hydrated because people
were dropping like flies, including someone who lost their life
at Auburn that summer. And then we had one that
nearly died where we were. I just googled it.

Speaker 8 (02:51:47):
In nineteen eighty three in Alabama, one hundred and twenty
heat related deaths across the state occurring between July June
and July.

Speaker 3 (02:51:55):
Correct, my goodness.

Speaker 13 (02:51:56):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (02:51:57):
So anyway, I went to get to drink some that
stuff that they replenished you with. I forget what it
was called vacaid or whatever it was. They wouldn't gatorade,
but it was something our powerade. It was some kind
of deal that they did a powder in the big tubs.
And a trainer in training who was there at school

(02:52:18):
to be a trainer, snatched away from me and said, hey, freshman,
give up to somebody's been doing something. And and of
course I had been doing something and he didn't know that,
and so I just I just I just blacked out.
And the next thing I knew was I had him
on the ground and was being a little rough with

(02:52:41):
him and taking the water back or the vacade and that.
And I got a lot of trouble for that. But
it did bring attention, okay, that hey, we have some
freshmen that are doing the whole thing. We need to
pull them out of that now. Yeah. So of course,
as usual, what I did, I did for good, but
but it was it was somebody of the ground for good.
So but some text today, so we've got the hall

(02:53:01):
of Fame game tonight. Yes, so now Chargers. I saw
a text a texture saying we now have football beginning
today through February, the first of February. Can you believe
that I'm excited about it? I'm excited about football this year.
I don't know what happened Gregan, I talked about it.
I don't know what happened to me last year. I
don't know what. I just wasn't is into it is
I wanted to be. But I have an attitude this

(02:53:22):
year that I want to be into football again, and
I want to watch more of it and I want
to enjoy it. And so I'm kind of I'm kind
of pumped. I'm kind of excited about it. Now. I'm
not going to watch the Hall of Fame game, but again,
it's not a good starter.

Speaker 5 (02:53:37):
It's on NBC or Peacock right, seven o'clock center, and
the starters will play no, right, But are you glad
it's back football?

Speaker 3 (02:53:44):
Can you believe it's back? Are you glad it's back?
This game always sneaks up on me.

Speaker 5 (02:53:49):
Yeah, because it's on a Thursday night and it's way
ahead of everything.

Speaker 3 (02:53:53):
Right. Yeah, that's that is a who's playing chargers in
the lines that, by the way, that that that trainer
in training. I've been asked many times after my redemption,
have I been I'm going to go back and repair
things with with all the people, And I said, well,
most of them, and then I'll be asked specifically, what
about the trainer and training. I said, no, that that

(02:54:14):
has not worked.

Speaker 5 (02:54:15):
With the end training parts. Key, right, I think that
the trainer trainer would have got a hold of them
and said no, no, no, no, no, don't right.

Speaker 3 (02:54:23):
So we don't know about that one. Hey, but wherever
you are today, sir, I'm so sorry. It was it
was so hot, and I was so it was a
desperate situation and when you took that away from me,
I thought you were literally taking my life. We'll be back.
Stay close.

Speaker 1 (02:54:39):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. It's like eating lunch
at the cool table the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 3 (02:55:00):
So here we go, americ I thanks you for being
with us. From the text line out of the Great
State of Florida. So, Rick, you mentioned playing for Troy
States called Troy now, but it was Troy State. Then
reminded me that you play with a good friend of mine,
Clint McCrory, Yes, I did. Uh from Panama City. Uh.
He was a few years ahead of me. You're right, Uh,

(02:55:21):
and so he was ahead of you, but he was
in the same class with me, and so he went
on to be a football coach. But they said that
he has passed away. So uh, yeah, I do remember
Clint a great guy and enjoy getting to know him,
and I'm sorry to hear that he has passed some
other things. To talk about the Ravens since we talked

(02:55:41):
about football, and we talked about football a little bit, Uh, Greg,
did you know that a third of the Baltimore Ravens,
one third of the team cannot swim? One third, one
third of the team cannot swim?

Speaker 15 (02:55:54):
And do it?

Speaker 3 (02:55:55):
Uh so not in a swimming competition? Well, and they
they put together a video and we're all learning to swim. Well,
not hear who they're They want them to come teach
them how to swim. Listen to this, and mister felps,
we have a problem. Did you know that one or
three Ravens cannot swim?

Speaker 16 (02:56:17):
We have a solution for you, sir.

Speaker 7 (02:56:20):
Come to Ravens training camp in this beautiful quantity and teach.

Speaker 3 (02:56:23):
Us how to swim. The Michael Phelps to come teach
the Ravens how to swim? Yes, uh so, uh a
third of them cause just can't swim, can't swim?

Speaker 7 (02:56:37):
So shock? Was that shocking to you guys that the
one third of professional athletes in a professional team did
not know how to swim?

Speaker 3 (02:56:46):
Yeah? No, crazy, considering the the make the makeup, the
the ethic, ethnic makeup of the ethnic makeup of the team.
For some reason, our African brothers and sisters don't don't swim. Well,
I don't know why. It's not something a third. Yeah,
that's that's a lot. That's well.

Speaker 8 (02:57:06):
I just thought, like being an athlete, you're growing up
in gyms and weight rooms and our round athletics, and
you'r and you you have.

Speaker 7 (02:57:13):
Access to a pool. You know.

Speaker 3 (02:57:16):
I thought that that.

Speaker 7 (02:57:17):
I thought that more than I thought that one hundred
percent of the Ravens knew how to swim.

Speaker 3 (02:57:22):
Honestly, do you do you think that?

Speaker 13 (02:57:25):
What?

Speaker 3 (02:57:25):
What is this?

Speaker 9 (02:57:26):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (02:57:27):
Our black brothers and sisters?

Speaker 17 (02:57:29):
What what?

Speaker 3 (02:57:29):
Why is this a cultural thing?

Speaker 17 (02:57:31):
What?

Speaker 2 (02:57:32):
What?

Speaker 5 (02:57:32):
What?

Speaker 3 (02:57:32):
What is the deal that that it's stereotypical, which means,
of course it didn't apply to everybody, but in general,
black people have been known not to swim. Well, why
why is that?

Speaker 8 (02:57:42):
I watched a video way long ago about this, and
it blamed it on the fact that there were, you know,
these community pools in the city, and that white officials
would have these these pools that were in more black
areas shut down or and I know there was a
time period where white people in a black people couldn't
swim in white people's pools, and you know.

Speaker 7 (02:58:02):
Horrible laws like that.

Speaker 8 (02:58:04):
But but now you know, the modern days, right, these
guys are born at least probably in the nineties, if
not after that.

Speaker 3 (02:58:12):
Yeah, I can understand, like you said, for all those
horrible reasons not having access to a public pool like
white folks. But seems like that's all been resolved and
it did just keep being handed down. It seems like
plenty of access now, you know.

Speaker 5 (02:58:28):
And well Phelps has already responded and said that he'll
be happy to you know, he is from Baltimore, a
big Baltimore race, and Marlon Humphrey was the one behind
all of this, and some of the teammates thought that
he was just sending that directly to Phelps. When he
actually posted that to social media. And it's gone viral,
and so apparently Phelps has responded. Yesterday, he did and

(02:58:52):
said he would agree to help them, him being a
Baltimore native and huge Ravens fan.

Speaker 3 (02:58:57):
Oh, that'd because if you're a fan of the team,
come to teach them how to swim. Yeah, what I
mean one of the best. So can Marlin swim? I
don't know, but Bobby, did you not teach your boy
to swim? I know Bobby, he Uh, he's the one
that posted the video on social media. Okay, uh the
swimming great for some help, and so text Bobby and
see if he's taught his kids.

Speaker 7 (02:59:15):
I swim six I'm reading here sixty to seventy percent
of Black Americans still cannot swim. Wow, when you look
at this was shocking to me. To forty of white
kids lack swimming skills.

Speaker 3 (02:59:32):
Should we called don Juan because I remember he couldn't swim.
He couldn't swim. Yeah, really he may have learned now,
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (02:59:38):
That's the That's the one thing I know that Tyler
mayby have been working with river On and I know
your your grandkids have as well, at a young age,
learned how to swim.

Speaker 3 (02:59:48):
Swim so important. So you, Adam, you were talking about that.
You asked us, did we remember because you did that
sometimes because you think we're so old. Maybe not, but
that when we were all in school, there was this
physical fitness push from the government. You remember this the
presidential award and you had to give certain this award.

Speaker 5 (03:00:11):
And president made tough and the six hundred run whatever,
that was one I don't I remember. I don't care
about long distance run. Yeah, well, let me tell you.
You talk about not caring about it. I don't care
about it. I don't I don't really want to watch it.
But try to be a fat kid and nobody tell
you to tell you to run six hundred. Yeah no,
but I remember, you know, I would get through the
stuff pretty good.

Speaker 3 (03:00:32):
What was your best event? All right, to remind me
of the events, My best event was the standing broad jump.
Yeah you talk about that.

Speaker 18 (03:00:40):
Greg.

Speaker 3 (03:00:40):
By the way, Greg is very proud of his standing
project took first in Field Day. So so you're telling
me Ada that we got away from that, but Trump
wants to bring it back.

Speaker 7 (03:00:55):
Yes, I was doing a little bit of research because
I vaguely remember doing a little bit of these kinds tests.

Speaker 8 (03:01:00):
As a kid, but as I got older, I felt
like it went away, and it did. In the eighties
and nineties they started changing the setup of the presidential test,
and then twenty thirteen, twenty thirteen, they totally.

Speaker 7 (03:01:16):
Got rid of it. So it's been gone totally since
twenty thirteen.

Speaker 3 (03:01:20):
Well, we need to do something because we are a
really really lazy, unathletic, not real physically active much true
childhood diabetes. Yeah, I mean through the roof. Well one
of the things, there's even a term, and I heard
Speedy listening to a sound clip. Thank goodness. I mean,

(03:01:41):
I can't believe this is gotten here right, that we've
gotten to the point that our parents, now what you're
listen at what they're calling me said, they're going to
this form of letting their children play. They're gonna start
parenting feral children. Oh yeah, then with the wood going
back to the wild. And when you hear what she's

(03:02:02):
talking about, what she's saying is, let's return to the
way all of us played grow. Yeah, where your parents
said get outside and play. They're calling that now I'm
raising I'm raising feral joy. Of course, those kids will
have incredible core strength and will be way ahead of
their their peers of physically.

Speaker 7 (03:02:24):
Yes, in creativity and even their immunity from playing.

Speaker 3 (03:02:28):
In the in. Get them out of that iPad, get
them out of that phone man, get them out there. Yes,
uh and uh.

Speaker 5 (03:02:34):
But I've never heard of it referred to as raising
feral kids. Yeah, it's called the feral child Summer. And
Kylie Kelsey talked about it on her podcast, and it's
kind of become a story. New York posted a story
on it where you know it used to be I
mean everything everybody wants, you know, their kids to have
more structure now, like a little bit laid back, let's

(03:02:54):
go you know, uh do this, let's do that, but
instead of just letting them go. And she said she
remembers growing up in the nineties where they'd go to
the candy store and then they'd go here, and then
they'd go there, and they're just they just float around
and just kind of have a summer.

Speaker 3 (03:03:09):
I would and whatever.

Speaker 7 (03:03:10):
Yeah, I'd ride my bike to go get candy cigarettes.
You know, it was a better time.

Speaker 3 (03:03:15):
Yeah, I love the candy cigarette.

Speaker 8 (03:03:17):
But today it looks like we mentioned that Trump is
signing that Save College Sports bill and that we we
focused on the Title nine female sports aspect of it.
But in that in that executive order, I should say,
uh is the reviving of the presidential Fitness Test.

Speaker 7 (03:03:35):
And Bryson D. Chambeau and Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison
Bucker and former New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor are
all on board and endorsing this, and I think are
going to be attending the signing of that executive order today.

Speaker 3 (03:03:50):
What I'm reading, well with the kids around Lawrence, Yeah,
you know this the fharal thing, Greg, what I don't
know about this, Greg, No, I don't mean that way.
I mean he was, he was a cranking up like
that is. Yeah, like no, I didn't know. Okay, well
this is but moving back to getting kids to pass

(03:04:13):
some sort of physical fitness test and and you know
pe and feral kids. That's that's all step.

Speaker 7 (03:04:21):
In the right right.

Speaker 5 (03:04:24):
Marlon hunt For you might call the hotline before ten
if if he can, maybe another time.

Speaker 3 (03:04:30):
But they're trying to get well. I mean I'm going
to ask them straight up, if Bobby taught him, I'd
just swam. We'll be back.

Speaker 5 (03:04:42):
That was fun because back then, you know, you didn't
have cell phones and there was no way to track you,
so you just kind of left for the day on
your bike like they made it happen.

Speaker 3 (03:04:51):
Force you to be creative, forced you to be physical.
All those things were good for your mind and your body.
We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (03:04:58):
This is the Rick Birch Show, the show that is

Not There was one I was you go ahead and
set that up to find you after I was going
to get Rick or Greg going, oh, way, there it is,
I got.

Speaker 3 (03:06:25):
It right, We'll go ahead. That minor kind of really
kind of they're not upbeat stories.

Speaker 5 (03:06:31):
Well, I know how Greg likes to celebrate his own birthday.

Speaker 7 (03:06:36):
He's big on that.

Speaker 5 (03:06:37):
According to a new survey, twenty two percent of people
take their birthday extremely seriously two percent yep. Especially the
zodiac sign folks, they are.

Speaker 3 (03:06:49):
At the time agreed, agreed, agreed, what's your signed? Oh,
Libras are so like that.

Speaker 7 (03:06:57):
Yeah, I knew you were a Scorpio. The way you
acted is so scorpios.

Speaker 3 (03:07:02):
Scorpios I work, you know what scorpios were like that? Yeah, apparently.

Speaker 5 (03:07:07):
There's a poll of two thousand US adults conducted by
Talker Research that found that Gen Z Americans are by
far most passionate about their special day, with thirty five
percent reporting they take it extremely seriously. Millennials are close
behind thirty four percent. Older Americans not so much. About

(03:07:29):
sixteen percent of the Baby boomers care if you recognize
them or not. And there's those that they announce it
to their birthday and they want you to make a special.

Speaker 3 (03:07:39):
Deal out of them like that. And it says one
in five.

Speaker 5 (03:07:45):
Americans twenty percent report throwing a birthday party bash annually
for themselves, and twenty one percent say they typically only
get people together for the big milestone birthdays, the big
ones or whatever. I don't know that I've ever planned
my own birthday.

Speaker 3 (03:08:02):
I know now.

Speaker 5 (03:08:03):
As you get older, you know, your spouse or somebody
might you know, tell the kids they come over, let's
have something like that. I did get I think it
was year before last surprised. I thought Terry and I
were just going out to dinner and I walk around
and it was an outside sitting area and all the
kids were there, maybe everybody was there.

Speaker 3 (03:08:25):
And where are you on surprise birthdays?

Speaker 5 (03:08:28):
I mean that one was okay because it was just
it was a dinner going out. But there, I mean,
if you walk picked up the tab for my dinner.
But that was fine for the whole family. But that's
I mean, that's kind of what I did, the tab
for nobody's Hey, look when it comes from my family,
I'm I'm the tab. Oh wow, I mean we all
are though. I mean, you know, you'll have your fun.

Speaker 8 (03:08:50):
I always like to pay with I always like to
pay when it's the smallest group of my family ever, Like,
hey guys, it's on me.

Speaker 7 (03:08:59):
There's only seven of a's usually there's fourteen.

Speaker 3 (03:09:01):
Yeah, I got it. Yeah, so I know this answer, Greg.
Where are you on the surprise birthday party? Not like
what speech talming? I'm up to talk to you walk
in from work and I was on the lights go on,
everybody goes surprise. Yeah, I'm not well.

Speaker 5 (03:09:14):
I mean I wouldn't be like a turd, got it?
But I mean, oh yeah, yeah, I agree. I think
I don't think that you like it. I know, no,
probably not. Well, I experienced it, but I don't like
the thought of it. I'm picturing myself it happened. Yeah,
that's the majority here. Polled it says people largely prefer small,
intimate gatherings at home forty four percent, compared to the

(03:09:35):
big blowout in public that's only twenty nine percent.

Speaker 3 (03:09:38):
Yeah, if it's one of them giant ones, especially the
people's playing. Nothing wrong with that. Invest your deal, But
how important it is?

Speaker 5 (03:09:43):
Do you feel like you're going to something you're invited
to going to, Like somebody has invited you to a
birthday party? Do you feel like it's important to go
if you've been who are they?

Speaker 7 (03:09:54):
It depends on the friend.

Speaker 5 (03:09:55):
Twenty seven percent say that they it is proper etiquette
to attend if you are invited.

Speaker 3 (03:10:01):
No, yeah, I guess it is. Now if somebody goes
to the trouble you know a spouse to invite you
to their spouse's birthday and you know them if you
can do it now. Sometimes you may have a conflict,
you should let them know that. But if you don't
have a conflict, you kind of you kind of Like
when my kids were growing up, in to a party,
I definitely made them go because you don't want to
think of a kid having a party and nobody showing up.

(03:10:24):
Guys were we I don't know. It was one of
those I don't want to say it because I don't
I don't want to send you away this way. I
don't want you know how these there's these places that
have multiple party rooms. I know you had an empty
one and and like my kids were, you know, having
a birthday party, and I checked over at another group

(03:10:47):
and and the kid was over and the parents. They
kept looking at the door, and now you got me.
But but it goes back, it goes back to what
you said, Yeah, I made sure mine went. Look when
somebody's yeah, because we're your kids in the class, and
your kids in the class, and maybe they're new to
town or whatever, and they just go ahead and invite

(03:11:08):
the whole class. Man, you got to be sure your
kids to have I mean, unless you got a legitimate deal.
But don't just go we don't know them, because that
little kids look at that door. Get a man, take
your kid over there, do something. Yeah, is this what
it feels like? Yeah? Yeah, it's all horrible. That's a
that's a you see, I got to change the subject.

(03:11:30):
I can still see it.

Speaker 5 (03:11:32):
CNN did a big features all kind of stuff on
the Ozimpic face Ozmpic face face drooping and they say,
according to their reporting, it might be causing a surge
in facelifts. They say, plumping your face back up with

(03:11:53):
fillers is a popular option, but sometimes scalpel is needed.
That people are losing weight and you know we talked
about in the face there and people are having to
go get that corrected.

Speaker 3 (03:12:05):
What is this about, though, Is that any different. Like
if you have a big fat face and you lose weight,
wouldn't everybody, no matter how you lost it.

Speaker 5 (03:12:14):
It's just been a thing the neck and the face.
They say when you learn.

Speaker 7 (03:12:20):
I don't understand what the people are doing with this.

Speaker 15 (03:12:22):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (03:12:24):
There's a surgery where young actresses are getting the fat
taken out of their cheeks. That girl that was in
that Chess movie on Netflix. It's called getting your I
think it's called buckle fat. That's in your cheeks and
they're getting it taken out, and they look they look
all sucked in and it looks like they have an
ozembic face because you would lose all that fat in
your face.

Speaker 7 (03:12:43):
It all looks like you're an old lady.

Speaker 3 (03:12:45):
Wow? Is that Sharon Osborne?

Speaker 7 (03:12:46):
Yes, I don't understand why these young actresses want that look.
It makes no sense.

Speaker 3 (03:12:53):
Out of the lips, good night. Well, we don't need
that much filler. We've said it a thousand times, the
filler lip thing. Let let them keep researching it. Yeah,
they're not there yet. They're not there yet. It doesn't
look good on anybody. Don't do it. And again under
the category of lessers more.

Speaker 5 (03:13:10):
Yeah, but apparently those that these these surgeons and these
facilities that that have the cosmetic procedures, they're benefiting from.

Speaker 3 (03:13:19):
Those coming in m It's a real thing. Money. Yeah,
that you look you you need a little bit. I mean,
I will tell you this. I mean, when you're a
little bit chubby, you look younger. Yes, I mean you
gotta be careful. You you got to watch that calendar.
What did you say? And you drop you drop off
weight at a certain age and you realize why I

(03:13:40):
just age. I mean, I'm in better health and my
body may look better, but how about my face looks
older because I lost that filler I had. Look if
that will take them wrinkles out? Yes? Oh god? So
you say you when you're you ever seen a balloon
with a wrinkle deflated right as got air in it?

Speaker 7 (03:14:02):
Hey, let's let's call it. Some of these bbl's are
out of control. You look like you're wearing a diaper.

Speaker 3 (03:14:07):
Lady, What are you doing?

Speaker 18 (03:14:08):
Please know it?

Speaker 7 (03:14:10):
You don't know about that?

Speaker 3 (03:14:12):
I don't. I don't know about it. No, I don't
know that. I want to. I don't like it.

Speaker 7 (03:14:15):
We're on very different sides of the internet.

Speaker 3 (03:14:17):
I think I'm off the side of the you and I,
what do you say?

Speaker 7 (03:14:20):
What the BBL, y'all don't know about this.

Speaker 1 (03:14:22):
