And as ken Osborn has already told you with great fanfare,
that Speedy, Greg and Adler are also here, I hope

(02:19):
all of you enjoyed time off. On the fourth of July,
we will recap Independence Day. We have a lot from
the weekend. Today it's one of those days. You know,
we've all been at this a long time as far
as doing this for a living, and today it's it's
it's one of those we've been there. It's tough because

(02:41):
it's it's balancing out, you know, the fun, the labs,
which we all need, and we're always going to have
that for you here, but also the somber. There's some
there's some serious things that are just that this have
us all a little bit somber today. And of course
I speak of on a macro as far as a country.

(03:01):
We were all morning with the people of Texas and
all those who not just in Texas, but wherever you
were from. Your children were at these various Christian camps
all along this river, and of course the people that
live in that area. As we start this live unfortunately,
you know, the death count is rising and we think

(03:24):
right now at least eighty two. I know the last
report was eighty and like even as we were getting
ready to come out of the break, it jumped.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
Up to eighty two.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
So it's awful, and there's a lot of inspiring stories
that look miraculous, and then there's the you know that
you sit there and your mind also is thinking, well,
you know, I mean, there's all kinds of things. When
you deal with these kind of tragedies. It's a test
for people of faith. It is the time to cling

(03:56):
to the things that we know, but it's also time
to go back and go what happened, what could have
been avoided? Maybe we don't know. And that's where James
Spen will come in. James has done a good job,
as he always does, of trying to just you know,
because the madness that's on social media, the madness and

(04:16):
you talk about the biggest shoot ready aim people in
the world, everybody right now. Sherry and I were talking
about this over the weekend. She goes, so, you got
to understand, husband, you're living in a time that everybody
thinks they can do what you do for a living.
Everybody has a show, everybody has access, everybody hosts their
own thing. And I'm not just talking about podcast. I'm

(04:37):
talking about on social media. And she says, so it
is is reckless. You know, there's a time if you
were discussing something at work, everybody else didn't see it. Yeah,
now that kind of theories and here's what I think,
people just throw it out there. So Spain will join
us and we'll talk to him about how these floods happen.

(04:58):
We're going to talk about flash flooding. We're going to
talk about warnings that did go out and where is
there a flaw in the system, where do we need
some help. Spaan has had some excellent commentary as usual
on that, and this is somebody that knows what they're
talking about. So we'll definitely look at that aspect of
it with him today. So no, that's coming, So we'll

(05:21):
probably reserve a lot of conversation about it till after
we talked to him, which is probably in a couple
of hours. But we can talk about how it affected
us individually and then of course over the weekend on
a personal level. But it's also personal to some of
you that spent time with us on the three decades
of the Rick and Bubba Show. Jordie Henson, as I

(05:43):
mentioned when I told you that he was near his
earthly life being over, a lot of you have emailed
me over the weekend because he did pass over the
weekend from als and a lot of you were sending
me emails remembering the multiple moments that he was involved
in on the show. And I tell you what I

(06:03):
had forgotten, And I had a great emailer that was
laughing it up with me over the weekend, remembering Jordie
was the time that he left his cell phone and
I got it and started returning all his texts. Yeah,
and and and and he was screaming giving my phone
phone and uh that that one, Sherry and I got
to laughing about that yesterday, and and you know, and

(06:26):
then the whole thing with that, the passion of the Christ.

Speaker 6 (06:30):
Yeah, Yeah, Scott Dawson, when he put a post out
about it, he referred to that, yeah, as one of
his favorite moments.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah. So so anyway, we'll we'll do a little look
back and remember the incredible earthly life of Jeordie Henson
on the show today too. And for those of you
that never knew him or did not enjoy the moments
that he had with us on the on the Rick
and Bubba's Show, I'll take a moment to you know,
because they'll probably be with his arrangements. He once again

(06:58):
he continues to serve he he had the ultimate servant's heart.
If he was, if he was on your side, the
tenacity of that man is unrivaled. And he he continued,
you know that with ALS, we're trying so hard to
find answers for this horrible, horrible disease. And he told

(07:18):
the Mayo Clinic that when he passed, he was even
joking around about that. If you remember, he told the doctor,
if you can, if you can get me to live
this long, you can have my brain. If I live
less than that, you can't have it. And so the
doctor did meet Jeordie's requirement on length of life after ALS.
And so Jordie there's things about his situation that they're

(07:41):
looking for answers that may help others. So, you know,
Jordie is certainly born and raised in the Baptist Church,
and you know, with Baptists, if you pass, you know
we're going to have you in the ground in forty
eight hours. Yeah, okay, And so we're having to kind
of adjust a little bit because his body has been

(08:01):
sent to the male clinic, so we probably won't be
able to celebrate him until maybe Friday this week. For Baptists,
that makes us very uncomfortable because you know, that's that's
a long time before the funeral, yeah, and the memorial
service and all that. But so we'll definitely do a
little mini eulogy for him today on the program, So
that'll be coming up. We'll talk about that a little
bit later on too, But just be with the Henson

(08:22):
family as they grieve the earthly loss. But boy, do
they have a lot to celebrate the impact of this
man's life.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
It is.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
It's not something that needs to be exaggerated, it's all.
Doesn't that feel comfortable?

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Do you ever?

Speaker 2 (08:35):
You ever have that uncomfortable feeling when you have to
pretend somebody had impact when they really didn't, or you
have to kind of elevate them a little bit after
they died. We don't have to worry about that with Henson,
you know, And there's there's plenty to talk about that
is legit and so that and that sure is comforting
for the folks who are you know, who are going
to be mourning you.

Speaker 7 (08:57):
Yeah, I've been at those funerals before. A whistler.

Speaker 8 (09:00):
Hey, hey, this guy could whistle like you wouldn't believe.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Right, Yeah, I've said it before, and and you've heard
me say this before, and I've never forgotten it. As
I had to, I was asked to try to do
one of those funerals, and we sat down with the
family from me mentioned this at at some of the
man church stuff, and we were talking to his kids

(09:28):
and talking to his wife. And after we finished our
complete tell us about your husband, tell us about your dad,
the worship leader who I will not name, looked at
me and says, I guess I need to add some
songs mm, And I said, yes, that's probably helpful. Well,
well we'll.

Speaker 9 (09:48):
Be back.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
So but not in not in this case right matter
of fact, we might have to drop a few songs.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (09:58):
Jordy loved football, but he loved his family.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
He didn't tell yeah, I mean a lot, we'll be back.
And also more importantly, he loved the Lord and served
him valiantly and with much devotion.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, the man who taught

(10:30):
the world to say, couldn't care less.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Rick Purchase, thanks for being with us today America and
all around the world. So a couple of things from
text Nation. Jordi Henson, I've been listening to you guys
for a long time. Thank you was Jordy, the one
that had the bat in the bathroom. Yes, there were

(10:56):
many Jordy Henson moments and stories and we'll share some
of those today for sure. Text Nation out of Pennsylvania.
Quick question, do you know how much of a delay
is on the WZZ app zzk appstream? We do not know.
We have no idea all those things. I think a
lot of you and I always let us know, will

(11:17):
pass it along. There's so many things between us and you, guys,
and we're just sitting here cranking it out, you know,
so we don't We don't really know what's going on
with your affiliate on the terrestrial side. We don't know
what's going on on the tune in app. We don't
know what's going on on the various stations streaming apps.
We're pretty familiar with the podcast archive because we were

(11:40):
hands on on it, but and the YouTube archive, you
know that. And YouTube we're pretty hands on on that.
But a lot of this stuff, guys, You got understand
we're living in time. There's so many different ways, so
many different things, and I'm glad about that, but it's
it's not the days of hey man, y'all are off
the air and us calling up the board op sitting

(12:03):
on the affiliate and going, hey, I think something's wrong.
They're going, here's what's going on those days. We we uh,
it's it's it's a lot more complicated now now, but
it's a process.

Speaker 6 (12:13):
There's good and bad with yeah, process to figure out, okay,
what is wrong?

Speaker 5 (12:18):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah. And as far as the delays and all that,
a lot of that, some of that there's nothing that
can really be done about that now. So so anyway,
we'll we'll we'll talk about that. I was actually when
we were looking back on some of the things that
happened on the lighter side with with Jordie Henson, so

(12:39):
he he and Mark Garnett. When Sherry and I first
moved to Birmingham, Okay, I mean we're we're we just
got here. It's it's nineteen ninety eight, okay, and we're
trying to find a church and we don't know where
we're going. We've been going to church, you know, for
a couple of years where we lived in Oxford, and

(12:59):
that's kind of where we were discipled really for the
first time, and so you know, it's all pretty new
to us. We've only been you know, followers of Christ
for about three years and we're looking for our Birmingham
church on which we'd never encountered churches of this size.
I mean, we didn't know what to think. You know,
we're from small towns, both of us, and so Jeordie

(13:20):
Henson and Mark Garnett came to our door because we
had visited the church where they went filled out a
visitor's card and they came into our house and that's
how I met him for the first time, and so
invited us to church. And so when we developed this friendship,
remember you know, the Rick and Bubba show was just
beginning to climb in Birmingham. We had come from Gadgston

(13:44):
to Birmingham. We just got there and so they didn't
really know what they were dealing with with having a
friend that had to fill a lot of content. And
I actually got him in trouble at his job. Didn't
know it, okay. So he was working in the banking

(14:05):
industry at the time and he was always in finance.
And so I found out, you know, visiting this church,
and I thought it was weird that a lot of
the men in the Sunday school class that Sharon and
I were visiting, had decided to go get visectomies, like
on the same day, what like some kind of vasectomy party,

(14:27):
and uh, and I thought that was odd. I'm sorry now, yeah,
grew Yeah, so I thought that was weird. Well, of course,
of course I come to the show with it, you know,
and I'm talking about it.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
Well he is, he said.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
He gets called out of a meeting where he was
working and said, hey, what any world this radio show
is talking about.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
You today like that.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
He's going, I don't, I don't know what you're talking about.
And he's going, well, we can't even we can't even have
a meeting, that's all. Everybody here is talking about what
any world? I mean, why is he talking about your
viseectomy on the show? And he goes, I didn't know
he was. And the show, he said, they like almost
sent him to Atlanta because he was like, look, is
everything we do here going end up on this radio

(15:09):
show and everything you do? And he had come to
me and go, hey, man, you might want to run
stuff by me first, but I was like, so, so
we got off to an interesting start. But so we'll
we'll talk more about that coming up a little bit
later on. But but anyway, so also other things, and
we're going to get into the flooding. You know, this
is like I said earlier, this you know, when do

(15:32):
you go light, when do you go serious? It's we
just kind of used to go with just how we
feel being led. And so we will talk about the
horror of all that. And I know that was just
on all of our minds all weekend long. And we're
praying for all these families from all over, but the
people of Texas too, And and I will tell a
lot of you that have been contacting me personally, I

(15:56):
am aware, sadly, I'm aware that one of the families
that's dealing with already knowing that their child was taken
by the floods, actually they actually live in our home
community where we all live, and so the process has
already started. And you know, remember all the best of
intentions are always out there. But Cherry and I in

(16:18):
this ministry that we wish we didn't have dealing with
the earthly death of children, it is we're honored to
do it. Wish we weren't in that club, but we are,
and we and part of the healing is watching that
count and matter. But remember these families. They're in shock,
and I know the best of intentions is, you know,

(16:40):
reach out to them, reach out to them, here's their
phone and all that. But these people need time to settle.
I mean, they're in a whirlwind right now. But just
so all of you know, the efforts are being made
now for us to just let them know that we're
here if they need us, and we're happy to walk
with them. So that's happening. Thank all of you for

(17:01):
considering us worthy of that. But we've been doing this,
you know, for seventeen years now, and you know every
family is different. Some people want to talk to you immediately,
some people need some time, but we will move at
the pace that they want to move at, and we
are here if they desire our input and help. If

(17:22):
they don't need it, that's okay too, but we're always there.
So thank you for all of you thinking about that.
But yeah, we have already been called into action on that,
so we'll be standing by ready to help them and
really any of these families, because the show now is
far reaching. If there's any way that we can, because
you know, earthly death is a hard thing for all

(17:43):
of us, but when children die rightfully so it just
kind of hits you in a different way.

Speaker 5 (17:50):
You know, it's a.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Hard thing to think we live in a world where
things like this happen, but they do. They do. And
one of the things Span will talk about as far
as these type of floods that it's you know, you've
got a lot of you know, climate change wackos out there.
I like to thank them for not allowing anyone the
time to mourn. But and then you've got these people

(18:12):
claiming that cloud seeding callsed it and all this. But
these floods are not unprecedented, and Span made that very clear.
This this has happened before in this exact same area,
so it's it's not the first time. So we'll we'll
talk with him more about that coming up a little
bit later in the program. So we have other things

(18:33):
to cover today. We will look back on a much
lighter note over the Independence Day weekend, and of course
we all have stories.

Speaker 5 (18:41):
We'll be right back.

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

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Okay, so this this is always a huge response, and
but it's it's so simple. You know, the folks at
m D Hearing have made my job really really simple
right now, because if you're out there and you're struggling
with your hearing. Somebody you love is struggling with their hearing,
and you you're kind of losing either yourself being separated

(19:10):
from your family and friends because you can't participate in conversations.
You can't even watch a movie, like we were just
talking about movies because you're hearing so bad. But yet
the hearing aids seem to be out of reach. They're
just too expensive, not anymore, Thank you, MD Hearing. What
if I told you that MD Hearing's Neo model cost

(19:30):
over ninety percent less than clinic hearing aids. Did you
hear me say ninety percent? How about a pair of
them for two hundred and ninety seven dollars and you
get a free extra charging case which is a one
hundred dollars value. The only reason is you listen to
the Rick Burgers show, go to shop md hearing dot
com and use our promo code Rick and get a

(19:52):
pair of hearing aids for just two hundred and ninety
seven dollars. It is the best hearing aid that you
have ever used at any price. But you're gonna get it.
Over two hundred two million people already have and you're
gonna get it at two hundred and ninety seven for
a pair if he used the promo code Rick by

(20:13):
going to shop md hearing dot com. This was developed
by an e NT that just started to be bothered
by the fact that his patients couldn't afford hearing age
and they needed them. So now he went into action
and this NT surgeon has shown many patients who need
hearing aids that it is accessible. So go right now
to shop md hearing dot com use the promo code

(20:35):
Rick get a pair for just two hundred and ninety
seven dollars.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
In a world that embraces mediocrity, they are thriving low lick,
which you show.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Thanks for being with us today, America. Don't forget to
as far as all the new podcasts that we have

if you have a problem, they want to resolve.

Speaker 5 (22:04):
It as much as you do.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Okay, I mean you know, it's one of those things
that if you've ever dealt with anyone in any kind
of authority that said, now, we can do this the
easy way, or we can do it the hard way.
The easy way to do it is go to US

Okay this Past, MONDAY i told HER i had a
big day plan for the fourth and asked if she
wanted to hear the. Schedule she said no twice because
she says she loves. Surprises unbeknownst to, her after hearing

life as a husband Of. Fobb when we finally finished
and found the perfect place on The Constitutional green to
watch the last portion of the, FESTIVITIES i can't help
but look. AROUND i see an eight month, old tired

(35:16):
but content a three year old that's bouncing around more
Than Richard simmons every time he saw speedy and a
five year old waving a twenty five cent flag like
The british had just lost the. War THEN i looked
over at my beautiful, wife who looks like the embodiment
of the writer from The american SONG A horse With No.
Name she leans over and asks how long to the,

(35:37):
fireworks to WHICH i reply two? Hours oh, NO i
didn't know someone's face could look even more dejected than
hers already, Did but APPARENTLY i was. Wrong before she
could say, anything up comes Old Big vox and, screams
who's having a Great fourth Of? July come his long?

(36:00):
Day his voice rings out many cheers and applause coming
from the audience and even my entire, family except for
my sweet, wife who looks Like. Adler if someone somehow
had taken all four tires of his sweet a van
and popped them one by, one or maybe someone left
one soaking and his makeshift told anyone who is not

(36:25):
probably and then and Then bert Big box then, Says
i'm sure everybody's having a good, time and anyone who's
not is probably just a party. Pooper thank You, berg
and the laughter. ROARED i tried to hold back my
laugh with little. Success my wife leans over in a
rather loud whisper filled with the, stain and, SAYS i

(36:46):
really don't like this. Person what somehow we make it
through the whole, night BUT i unfortunately have to resort
to there's one less listener to The Rick Berger. SHOW

everywhere not that The american. Village, no, indeed Please Rick,

(01:12:11):
MOVIES i understand That Brad pitt's movie over the, weekend
the f one is it was it Called yeah that
it was huge two hundred and thirty, MILLION i, think
and it costs two hundred million to, make so they're
already thirty million. Ahead and it had a really really
good opening. Weekend did it live up to the high
it did? WELL i don't. KNOW i haven't heard any

(01:12:33):
reviews of. IT i just know a lot of people
went to see. IT i will watch, it but it'll
be on streaming because nowadays you don't have to wait. Long,
well if it was a if it Was days Of
thunder And Brad pitt was A nascar, DRIVER i would
go see it at the. Theater the fact that he's
not in its open, WHEEL i will wait to see
it on.

Speaker 5 (01:12:50):
Streaming how weird is? That that is?

Speaker 2 (01:12:52):
Weird and how weird is?

Speaker 3 (01:12:53):
That?

Speaker 2 (01:12:54):
Greg that's my whole.

Speaker 6 (01:12:55):
Motivation greg brought up something and it really stems from
THE covid years say years because it hadn't been that long,
ago but really it lasted for that. LONG i kind
of stopped going to, movies then going to the, theater and,
really to be, honest in the theaters have until. Recently
we Took river to a movie AND i told you
THAT i did not notice even know the transformation of

(01:13:16):
these movie theaters that have taken. Place but you, know
prior to, that it was everything seemed. Dirty you, Know
it's like that wasn't that. Great it seemed like the
film was, like, yeah it was a little out of.
FUN i DON'T i just didn't have a lot of good.
Experiences SO i went to the streaming. Side because the
streaming side it got so much. Better it's like movies
got there.

Speaker 2 (01:13:36):
Quicker you, know you never.

Speaker 6 (01:13:38):
Know sometimes you could just buy it and it's it's
hey have it instantly when it was in the. Theaters
but now this latest experience has changed me a little.
BIT i mean everything was, clean the the picture was, crisp,
clear that had. Recliners it was a very nice.

Speaker 12 (01:13:54):
Experience well you.

Speaker 5 (01:13:55):
Go see this.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
MOVIE i.

Speaker 6 (01:13:57):
DON'T i don't, know But i'll be a lot more
will to go BECAUSE i never even thought about going
to the theater for a lot for, years just because
OF i, mean you, know if you if you have you,
know a decent sound system and you're a streaming service.

Speaker 2 (01:14:11):
Or, two you could you could enjoy it at.

Speaker 6 (01:14:13):
Home but the theater did bring a new element to,
it Which i've always liked going to the, movies BUT
i just went away from it for like three or
four or five years AND i just never really went.
Back and then this latest, experience it was a very nice.
EXPERIENCE i learned. CLEAN i really enjoy going to the

Speaker 1 (01:18:52):
Hour this is The Rick Burgess. Show you better.

Speaker 2 (01:19:09):
Listen, up you, know and we say bass on your.
Name you gotta find.

Speaker 1 (01:19:23):
Broadcasting from the, World The Rich Burgess.

Speaker 2 (01:19:27):
Show all, Right, America so here we. GO i chold
you today would be a mix of, laughing you, know
kind of getting a break from, everything but also somber
today as. Well. Well we we Love James spam and
you know what he does for a. Living it has

(01:19:47):
got him in some tough. Situations it's not an easy.
Job and he's going to join us here to see
if we can just talk about. Facts AND i have
some compassion for those that are involved in.

Speaker 1 (01:20:04):
This so what's up with the? Weather here with the?
Latest here is Meteorologist James Span.

Speaker 2 (01:20:27):
James welcome to the. Show wish it was a much,
happier bright, visit but it is. Somber what what we're
all seeing In. Texas we we can't even believe our,
eyes we can't believe our. Ears anytime children are. Involved
that takes it to a whole nother. Level So i'm

(01:20:50):
just going to kind of turn the show over to, you,
because as you AND i have talked, about Even speedy
just talked about it in the, break we are living
in a time that we have access to so much,
information but we also are being fed so much. Misinformation
can you help us to just get down to the
real world and the real truth involving.

Speaker 12 (01:21:11):
This so there's two elements of, This, Rick any tragedy like,
This you've got physical science and that's WHAT i, do.
Meteorology then you've got social science human, behavior and we're
learning about, that but that's not WHAT i was trained to.
DO i do physical, science and the social science aspect
of this is just as. Important did they hear the?

(01:21:32):
Warning did they not hear the? Warning did they? All
that will find out. Later but in terms of the
meteorology behind, this and Again, rick there's so much. NONSENSE
i don't what is horrifying to. Me some of these
precious parents that lost their precious, children they're going to
get back in the real world at some point and
they're going to open Up facebook or, whatever and they're

(01:21:55):
going to see the most, horrific horrific nonsense from political
Exc Now i'm talking right wing and left, wing both.
Sides it's. Nuts can you just stop? It but let
me just go through the meteorology real. Quick part of
the problem the really really high precipitable. Water the atmosphere

(01:22:15):
was charged up because of a tropical system that was
in The Eastern pacific by the name Of. Barry and
this happens a. Lot they make landfall In mexico in
the rim that moisture comes Into texas and Sometimes, oklahoma
and so the atmosphere was. Loaded it was just like
a wet sponge waiting on something to squeeze it. Out
and that's the reason the rain rates were so. High

(01:22:38):
we basically had about a foot of rain right over
the river. Basin and so flash and. Listen the warnings
were good in my. Opinion and again you listen to some.
People The Weather service didn't have staffing and all. This
they had extra staff that, night The Weather service In,
Austin San, Antonio New bronfles and they had extra. Staff

(01:22:59):
the first flash flood watch went out at the day
before flash flood. Watch the first flash flood warning was
issued at about one am the second flash flood, warning
which was a flash flood, emergency was issued at five
point thirty four, Am and of course the question is
did they hear? It AND i don't have answers to.
That i'm not familiar with this. CAM i worked In

(01:23:21):
texas for a couple of years a long time, ago
but that gives me no unique knowledge of. This and
the cell service is extremely spotty from WHAT i understand
there and we how many times HAVE i been on
this show asking people to get a weather. Radio get
a weather. Radio that's the. Baseline it's not your phone
phones are, important, yes but that's not the. Baseline the.
Baseline it's a weather. Radio it has nothing to do

(01:23:43):
with cell, coverage nothing to do with a cell. Network they're.

Speaker 2 (01:23:46):
Loud they will wake you up and Understand.

Speaker 12 (01:23:49):
Rick the other thing. Too along this, river they have
had catastrophic. Floods this is not the first.

Speaker 2 (01:23:53):
Time this is important because some of the stuff out
there is acting like this was an event that has
never had happened.

Speaker 12 (01:24:00):
Before, Right it happened in nineteen ninety, eight nineteen eighty,
seven nineteen seventy, eight nineteen thirty, five nineteen twenty, one
that eighty seven, flood same. Thing children were, killed same.
Thing and if you're going to have a facility like
this along a, river and In texas it's a little.
Different those rivers are just, dry they're basically a little,
gulch and then you get a foot of foot of

(01:24:20):
rain that, falls and you're going to literally have a
wall of water that comes down that little gulch that river.
Basin and that's what happened with this Thing thursday night
Early friday. Morning and Obviously i'm hoping that they had
a weather radio and the question is was it, on
did it not sound or did they not have? ONE
i don't know that and we'll find this out. Later you.
Know to, me the time is not proper now to

(01:24:41):
go through the social science side of this, thing because
we're still in the recovery mode, here and you, know
all the blame and pointing fingers and all this other.
Stuff but the bottom line is. This the warnings were.
Timely we don't know if they heard. Them Weather service In,
Austin San antonio had extra staff and on the meteorology,
side the warnings were. Good now here's one problem that we.

(01:25:04):
Have we have too many false. Alarms it's. Ridiculous we're
better than. This you've got some weather service offices in the,
country for, example with, tornadoes the false alarm ratio is
eighty to ninety percent of warnings are false. Alarms that's,
nuts and over and over and over and over and.
Over we have flash flood warnings where you might have
an inch of water in some country road that's not
a flash, flood and you know we're gonna have to stop.

(01:25:26):
This we have a warning addiction problem within the professional weather.
Enterprise and then of course you got to TikTok guys
and the YouTube. Guys everything's doom and disaster and you
hear this, constant constant murmur of this and all the false,
alarms and a lot of that's on our. Side we've
got to fix that on the professional weather. Enterprise and
my challenge to every single weather service office stop, it stop,

(01:25:48):
it stop issuing these false. Warnings you're always going to
have false, warnings but when you've got a false alarm
ratio of eighty five ninety, percent we're better than, that
AND i think we have to look at, that and
that's an internal thing we'll have to do within the weather.
Enterprise so that's one of our. Problems so AND i
hope we were going to work on that within the.
Government But, rick the bottom line, is it's at weather.

(01:26:09):
Radio did they have? One did it go off at
one a. M did they know the history of the
flooding that's come down that river with loss of life involving.
CHILDREN i don't know. That and that's the social science
side of this that we'll get. Later but, again if
you have a strong political, Opinion i'm just asking you
to stop. It stop putting out this nonsense on social.
Media so the left, wingers of, course immediately It's. Trump It's,

(01:26:30):
trump and you know he's cut the research on climate
and he cut The Weather service. Employees and then on
the right, wing you got these you, Know kim trail,
guys It's kim. Trail so he Sprained kim trails the
day before and The kim trails in the seating that
they did this on, purpose that the government caused this
and it was done on. Purpose and you, know this is,

(01:26:53):
nonsense and people believe, This, rick they honestly believe. This
AND i might be kicked off the show Because i'm
telling you the truth, here but you.

Speaker 5 (01:27:00):
Go right, out this is the real.

Speaker 2 (01:27:02):
World now we're gonna have to use the platforms That
god has given, Us, james and, HOPEFULLY i know we're not.
Alone we're gonna have to get out there and say
we have platforms and we can bring some clarity to.
This SO i applaud you for doing that Because I'M i,
MEAN i see a picture of a blue tarp with
water in it and some idiots, saying, look this is blue,

(01:27:24):
water And i'm, like, well it's reflecting the blue, tarp you,
IDIOT i, mean and you know it didn't come out
of the sky. Blue this is showing you it's kim
trails and seeding and it was done on. Purpose And i'm,
like it's just so. Irresponsible and then back the other,
way you, know it's you, know we're saying that you
know the staff was cut and you said, no the

(01:27:45):
facts are they actually had extra staff, there no warnings went,
Out yes they. Did SO i think you, know if
WE i agree with, you we can't solve problems if
we can't get out of the fake world and get
in the real world and talk about real. Solutions but
first we have to identify the real. Problem you can't

(01:28:07):
get a solution for anything if you can't talk in
the real, World, JAMES i don't know how it. Is
i'm sure your Bick you mind standing one more. Segment
there's some of the THINGS i want to ask. You,
okay welcome, Back james span bringing some clarity and foundational
truth to all this is so, important so important that

(01:28:28):
you hear these. Things, no it's not. Unprecedented you Heard
james name all four years that this has happened in the.
Past we'll be right.

Speaker 1 (01:28:37):
Back this is The Rick Burgess, Show god fearing And
america loving The Rick Burgess.

Speaker 17 (01:28:59):
Show james been with us so important after the horror
that is The texas flooding situation with these just people
that live, there and of course really really bringing us,
attention bringing in the attention of involving children in these.

Speaker 2 (01:29:20):
Camps that are along this, river and it is it's a,
horrible horrible. Thing, unfortunately we're living in a time WHERE
i don't, KNOW i don't know how to explain, it
and And james is trying To let's let's talk about
the real, Stuff. James let me ask you. THIS a
lot of people are, asking, uh there there there are

(01:29:41):
companies that do some sort of cloud. Seating, yes, no
does that? Happen and how often does it happen that?
THIS i, know this has nothing to do with, it
even if it.

Speaker 12 (01:29:53):
Happened, yeah, listen there have been weather modification experiments for
decades and decades and. Decades most of them have. Failed mis,
believe and are there some seating operations in limited. Spots,
yes it's happened, before and there have been, experiments and
what they try and do, is you, know bring some
rain to drought areas and the success has been very,

(01:30:15):
limited and the area where they do, that it's very.
Limited and of, course you, know people dig up some
license for somebody that's doing this and immediately they, say,
well the flood was caused by. Humans this was a
man made. Operation they were spraying kim trails the day.
Before and that's absolute. Nonsense and any third, grader any third,
grader can get a map and look at the progression
of Tropical Storm berry that came in from The pacific

(01:30:37):
and it came right up Through texas And. Oklahoma, LISTEN
i was in one of these floods like this In, Tulsa,
oklahoma back in the early. Eighties same circumstance we Had
Hurricane tico that came Into. Mexico remnant moisture came up
Through texas And, oklahoma one of the worst flash Floods
i've ever been involved. In these things can be just absolutely.
Horrible the precipitable, water it just loads the. Atmosphere it is,

(01:30:59):
loaded and it will dump something like that a foot
of a foot of rain in three four five. Hours
it can do. That and so it, wasn't you, know
some guy doing, this it was it was a tropical
system with a little wave that produced upward. Motion that's.
All it's like just somebody squeezing out a. Sponge you
pick up a wet, sponge you, know you know at
some point that water is coming out of that, thing

(01:31:20):
and that's when it. Happened unfortunately along The Guadaloupe basin, There.

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
Yeah which can be problematic because you, said we have
four other instances where this happened as, well and that's
an important piece of information and all.

Speaker 5 (01:31:35):
That it's not. Unprecedented it's.

Speaker 2 (01:31:37):
Tragic it's, horrible but we know why it, happened and
we know that it has happened. Before the bigger question
is how can we handle these things. Better that's where
we need to be focused And one of the things
THAT i did see is that some of the children
said they knew that there was a flash. Flood they
actually did get the warning back to your original point last,

(01:31:59):
sea but they thought flash flood wasn't that big a.

Speaker 12 (01:32:03):
Deal and again they went right back to. SLEEP a
lot of that's on, us all, RIGHT a lot of
that's on the professional weather enterprise because of issuing flash flood.
Warnings when you see you've got a report of an
inch of water on a county road. Somewhere we have
to get away from that and we have to focus
on this and, Understand, Rick, rick there are different levels

(01:32:24):
of warnings that flash flood. Emergency when that was, issued
that's the most urgent message that can. Go the first
warning was a flash flood morning about one. Am second
was a flash flood emergency about five. Am but the
bottom line is, this you've got to be aware of
the history nineteen ninety, eight nineteen eighty, seven nineteen seventy,
eight nineteen thirty, five nineteen twenty, one among, others with

(01:32:47):
catastrophic flooding in the same circumstances in which there was
loss of, life including, children same, thing and we have
to learn from the past to be successful going forward
in the. Future and, again now is not the time
to judge or do any of that because we don't
know the facts about did they get the, warning how
did they, respond did they not get the. Warning nobody
knows anything right now that will be coming out in

(01:33:09):
future weeks and months and. Years and that's the social
science side of this. Thing but what we need to
do is just simply learn from. It in other, places,
anywhere there's a large gathering of people in a. Floodplane, okay,
listen its flooding is a real. Deal in a, floodplaine
it's the real, deal and it's life. Threatening and you,

(01:33:29):
know you've got to have a weather. Radio you've got
to have a weather, radio not your, phone not your
you know weather channel app or you know weather bug or.
Whatever and that stuff's, Okay But i'm. Talking cell service
can be, spotty and during a genuine, emergency a true weather,
emergency that sell service can go. Away and that fancy,
iPhone Peq, promax whatever you, got it's a. Brick and

(01:33:53):
that's why that radio is. Crucial in many, states the
percentage of people that have them flood prone, states tornado prone,
states it's less than five. Percent AND i don't sell.
THEM i have nothing to do with. Them it's a government,
service but it's.

Speaker 2 (01:34:07):
It i'm just.

Speaker 12 (01:34:07):
Saying that that's a critical part of. That and then
having the plan of. Action what do you? Do and
it's easy for Us rick to sit here and. Judge,
listen this was after. Midnight, okay these kids are sound.
Asleep it's after, midnight and you've got to. Evacuate that's
easier said than, done it, is, yeah and you know.
So but for every camp like this and a floodplain

(01:34:30):
The Center, river you got to imagine what if this
happens to? You what are you going to? Do do
you have a weather? Radio and what's your plan of
getting those kids and those campers out of? There and
it ain't, easy but it's something we all have to talk.

Speaker 2 (01:34:42):
About forgive my ignorance on this with you, say in
this tropical, storm could we also maybe try to educate
If i'm running a camp And i'm in a, Floodplane,
hey this weather system, alone you need to have an
evacuation plan because if it, hits you need to get
these kids out of.

Speaker 12 (01:34:58):
Here knowing that that system was was brewing right and
that was the point of the flash flood watch that
went out to day, before so this Was thursday. Afternoon
flash flood watch was issued because of the extremely high
precipitable water. Values you, know this could be you, know
they mentioned river, flooding they mentioned, creeks, streams all this
stuff and the flash flood watch and you've got to

(01:35:20):
have a basic knowledge of that watch and understanding that
you could have some overnight flooding and know the history
of the camp and be ready to do. Something but
that's the purpose of that flash flood. Watch so, yeah
and again the warning process worked darn. Good and of,
course these poor guys that worked at The Weather, SERVICE
i can imagine their mental state right. Now oh, yeah

(01:35:41):
their products were, good but they're brutally, attacked brutally attacked
all across social. Media there was no, warning you, Know Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump,
trump and Then Kim, Trails Kim, Trails Kim, trails all
these lunatics on these fringe right wing and left wing,
lunatics they're having to see this. Stuff and you, KNOW
i just hope that they understood that they understand that

(01:36:02):
they did a darn good. Job they really.

Speaker 2 (01:36:04):
Did and you said it to. COLLEAGUES i think in
the weather world we're gonna have to get to a
point where just BECAUSE i need to have more of
a responsibility to be accurate and to not become the
boy who cries, wolf that's more important than how many
CLICKS i can get by being scary all the.

Speaker 12 (01:36:20):
Time, yeah and, listen we cannot control TikTokers in. YouTubers that's,
right we're talking about. That go on TikTok right now
and you'll find probably dozens and dozens of accounts with
millions of you saying a hurricane's gonna come up and
Hit Panama City beach this, week which is absolute. Nonsense
we can't control, that but we can control what we.

(01:36:41):
Do AND i was talking the private, sector which is
WHAT i, do and the, Government, noah The Weather service
what they. Do and we need to take a, long
hard look at the false alarm ratio and stop. It
there's a warning addiction problem. Here and you can't be
issuing flash flood warnings when there's no, flooding, yes or
where there might be a little water on a road.
Somewhere you got to hold off and save it for

(01:37:01):
when there's a genuine flash flood and how do you
define flash? Flood obviously what happened In texas that was
a flash. Flood you, know an inch of water on
a country, road that's not a flash. Flood and we
need an Internal we need to have a sit, down
come To jesus meeting about these false. Alarms AND i
think this will help initiate that discussion within the professional weather.

(01:37:23):
Enterprise and THESE tv Stations code red weather emergency And
i'm declaring A code red weather emergency where there's. Fog
you're kidding. Me people have warning. Fatigue we got to
stop this. Stuff we've got.

Speaker 2 (01:37:37):

Speaker 2 (01:49:30):
VOCs that means unscreened phone. Calls this is your opportunity
to weigh in on any topic you want to talk.
About obviously we spent this hour on The texas. Floods
obvious reasons. There James span gave us a lot of
very important. Information we gave you some of the news
footage from the, weekend and you can weigh in on

(01:49:53):
what you've. Heard you can bring him something. Else it
will be unscreened phone. Calls so that means if you
hear the phone. Ring that's all. Right that means you're
in line and you're ready to. Go so have you
have you have you taken a look yet at all
the great products from Brick House, nutrition you, know and
this is you know a lot of. Them we had

(01:50:14):
the big cell last. Week hope a lot of you
took advantage of that that these are the people that
brought us field of greens and other great products that
you can find. THERE. Uh if you are someone who's
trying to, SAY i don't want to take these, shots
BUT i see that you know something that would curb my,
appetite something you know that would help me retain a

(01:50:35):
healthy blood sugar. Level all that is, intriguing but you
want to go more. Natural it's called takelean dot. Com
Take lian dot com from Brick House nutrition twenty percent
off with the code big. Vox check the information and
the research behind. It now going to rick burgesshow dot.
Com rickburgesshow dot com under SPONSORS uh and you can

the number six big. Vox and if you would like
to join as you, can just keep in mind that
if the phone is, ringing that means that you are in,
line ready to, go and we'll just screen those on the.
Fly so this is something that we introduced when we
started the show this, year and, honestly it seems to be,

(01:51:20):
breeding you, know more phone, calls more, information and really better.
Calls SO i think it's the preferred way to, go
taking out the phone screener as. Well so looking at Text,
nation a lot of you bring this. UP i knew. That,
YEAH i did see this, too that the director Of
Camp mystic lost his life saving, campers AND i think

(01:51:43):
that was the guy WHEN i mentioned the. SEVENTIES i
know the camp's been around since the, twenties but that
guy took over the, CAMP i think in the, seventies
he and his.

Speaker 5 (01:51:53):
Wife SO i did see that.

Speaker 2 (01:51:55):
Too so.

Speaker 6 (01:51:58):
And we were talking, about you, know some of the
heroes that were involved with. This they're calling him An american,
hero saved one hundred and sixty five, lives good. Grief
they are with The. Coastguard he's a rescue swimmer as
well From New. Jersey and according to What i'm, reading

(01:52:20):
and y'all could correct me If i'm, wrong BUT i
think they were in the air when all of this started,
developing AND i think before they had direct, orders they
saw that they pinpointed where some were, stranded and they
just went into action getting folks out of. There and
they were able to directly be involved in saving and

(01:52:41):
astonishing one hundred and sixty five victims in the. Flooding,
also one of the things you, mentioned you, know In
spain really took this on some of the crazy stuff
that's been happening during all. This and they're calling now
Former houston appointee In, Houston, texas what an.

Speaker 2 (01:53:02):
Idiot this is some of the stuff that just blows our,
mind claiming claiming now that the flood ravage camp. Mystic
of course there were other camps and people's homes that were.
Affected because it was white people, only that's the only
reason why anybody. Cares if this had Been hispanic children

(01:53:23):
or black, children no one would. Care how does somebody
say something like that in the middle of all. This

July Independence, Day america turning two hundred and forty nine years. Old,
Okay So American. Village it's In, Manavado. Alabama it is a,
beautiful beautiful part of our. State and it's an incredible.
STORY i won't share all that with. You how this
all came to be and it was a VISION i
Think Tom clark is his, name that made this. Happen

(01:59:00):
he wanted children to grow up knowing True american. History
and they almost built back in time colonial. Village and
you go there and there's actors, playing you, know patriots
from the. Past you learn about life during that. Time
you hear from. Them so when they do their, fireworks

(01:59:21):
there's about a two hour presentation that starts about seven
fifteen local time up to the fireworks and so on
the main, stage which is WHAT i had the honor
of being asked TO mc this year As alabama spokesperson
for The Simi Quin, centennial which a year. FLY i,
mean that's like easy for. Yeh so we're one year

(01:59:45):
away from. That this was the big one year till
so they brought me. In now they it's scripted AND
i was there last. Year first Time i'd ever been
was last, year And sharon AND i loved the, experience
AND i was kind of. Watching, now remember we mentioned
THAT i was following a broadcaster that has done. IT
i guess a few, times who is a. Pro he's a.

(02:00:08):
Professional he's not gonna mess the script. Up he's not
gonna veer from the. Script he's gonna be a. Pro
he's gonna be. Professional and he's not really there to
goof off and be. Funny he's a straight shooter and
a beloved. Person now they now they've gone to me
and now enters. Right AND i, figured if you brought,

(02:00:30):
me then you must be wanting something.

Speaker 5 (02:00:32):
Different, okay is that what you're? Thinking that's What i'm.

Speaker 2 (02:00:34):
Thinking, WELL i found If i'm just being, honest last,
YEAR i. Was the whole Time i'm. Watching the whole
time i'm, Watching i'm thinking to, myself this could move
along a little. Quicker, yeah by the, way hold that.
Thought that thought's gonna be. Important, Okay i'm, Like i'm

(02:00:56):
catching some dead, Time i'm catching some.

Speaker 5 (02:00:58):
TRANSITIONS i think it could be.

Speaker 6 (02:01:01):
Quicker, now side, note let me just say, this everything
you are involved with you.

Speaker 2 (02:01:06):
Think should be quicker that it don't miss, that.

Speaker 6 (02:01:08):
Okay SO i mean it could be the, airlines which
you might have a point, there, traffic anything you're involved, with, meetings.

Speaker 2 (02:01:14):
Lines lines of any. Kind you want things to move.
Faster IF i can find places to fix. It IF
i see there's places, now we could fixed. THAT i always,
think you, KNOW i lived my whole life going let

in front of, Me, adair if you look at my,
astram there's a picture of the folding. Chairs now back
behind the folding. Chairs is just a, field and so
people are on blankets and stuff back, there but there's
a number of white folded, chairs so they're on two.

(02:09:26):
Sides so there's a lane down the middle of that
that's the front. Part and apparently he and some other
not so young fellas are going to march in a
little group like colonial soldiers falls down down that middle
aisle with the colors with the flag and all, this

(02:09:46):
and and they're they're really into, it, okay and he
had a serious face when he was.

Speaker 2 (02:16:41):
Show so, yeah it was a little warm In Sweet,
Home alabama over the weekend WHEN i was there at
The American. Village but we had a lucky, said a
little thunderstorm that came in a couple hours before the
main stage really kind of cooled things. Off BUT i
wasn't sweating it unintended BECAUSE i use the products From

(02:17:03):
shopmando dot. Com you see, there that's forty years of
radio transition out There shopmando dot. Com AND i will
tell you that a lot of you out there that are,
female you're probably familiar with The loomy. DEODORANT i was.

Speaker 3 (02:17:22):
Not.

Speaker 2 (02:17:23):
Well the doctors behind that successful product have created man
do for men because let's face, it men stink in
a different. Way and this is seventy two hour, protection no.
Aluminum it tackles body odors all. Over let's face, it
when you're out there, sweating you sweat.

Speaker 5 (02:17:43):
Everywhere.

Speaker 2 (02:17:44):
Okay it's a high performance deodorant for the whole, body
from the pits to the, toes and it's got mandelic
acid clinically proven to work all day. Long SO i
was completely, confident and HOW i. Smelt Wish i'd read
the fine print about what these men were gonna do
when they brought the flag up to the stage and

(02:18:05):
all the other flags and the presenting of the.

Speaker 5 (02:18:06):
Colors some of you out, there what is wrong with?

Speaker 10 (02:18:09):
You?

Speaker 2 (02:18:10):
Uh but, Anyway so go To shopmando dot com twenty
percent off using the code Big. Vox you also find
a link At Rick burgess show dot com under. Sponsors,
so to no one's, Surprise i've got this thing running
like a fine oil. Machine we're clicking long, baby. Okay
And i'm thinking to Myself i'm cutting the others or

(02:18:32):
thinking that is IT i found out? Later or? No,
Oh So i'm thinking to myself the people in the,
audience this is all good quality, stuff And i'm cranking.
IT i Mean i'm cranking it out and getting stuff
on it off the. Stage i'm keeping things. Moving i'm
rolling through the, script putting in, colorful colorful, Antidotes i've

(02:18:55):
got the audience on my, hand And i'm picturing myself
in the audience, saying let's get to the. Fireworks, rick
take us to the. Fireworks, birge you got. It, Okay
i'll make good. Time don't you worry about. That. Okay
So John adams is finally up giving give me a,
country AND i Think i've done. It i've carried us.

(02:19:16):
Here he's, outstanding very moving. Speech you get off stage for, that,
YEAH i did. Eventually uh and you believe, that you
believe you're Watching John adams and it's an impassioned speech
that will make you just physically sick what we've let
happen to this. Country SO i thow a few barbs
in about that, Too like, nowadays after we heard from
The king Of, england there's somebody who plays. HIM i,

(02:19:37):
said we got a lot of politicians that Say i'm
more like The king than they. Do George washington gave
commentary political. COMMENTARY i had some, commentary so any was
add in the? Script it was not so Uh, no
he added, That, yeah he missed the part by getting off,
stage but he went ahead and added. One So i'm

(02:19:58):
so the firework works are nine to, fifteen because that's
that's when it's supposed to, start.

Speaker 5 (02:20:04):
Supposed To So.

Speaker 2 (02:20:08):
John adams is probably ten minutes from being. DONE i looked,
down it's eight. THIRTY i HAVE i have zipped us
through this thing so. Fast, oh AND i have heard
people so. MUCH i looked. Down i'm, like my, goodness
it's forty five minutes left oh for the and so
people are going to start getting nancy shifting. Around SO i,

(02:20:31):
think what's the big, Deal we'll just start the fireworks
early and everybody.

Speaker 5 (02:20:34):
Left, no that's and everybody all.

Speaker 2 (02:20:37):
Love there's a set time, front you know, what you'd be.
Right SO i didn't think people putting it on going
off a. TIME i didn't. THINK i. THOUGHT i, thought,
everybody when we're, done start the. Fireworks AND i didn't
know it was on some timer and and so were
you paying attention to? Anything they they ever said? TIMER
i think they. Did they said fireworks around nine, ten

(02:20:58):
nine to. Fifteen thought that was because. BREAK i thought
that was because, normal this thing drags. ON i had
this thing whipping to. Shape it's moving like a final.
Machine the fireworks people are getting ready there on a.
Time i'm, Side i'm side Hugging John. Adams he's loving
it and uh not the most colorful, fella but but, right,

(02:21:18):
yeah he's serious about. It, well he's playing the, character
and the Character John adams was not overly. Friendly so
SO i look. Over you know What, Melanie god love?
Her who booked?

Speaker 12 (02:21:32):
Me?

Speaker 2 (02:21:32):
Yeah, yeah you, thought Mel i'm being? Efficient and she
goes early AND i, said you're, Welcome, yes we. WERE
i THINK i think she's complimenting. ME i THINK i
THINK i think She's everybody keeps looking around talking, early
AND i think they love. Me, GOSH i think they
can't believe how quick HE i got. This you picked
up a little time when you stayed on. Stage you,
know although you were in a buying that save time

(02:21:55):
you're going off and having to come. BACK i kind
of thought coming off on off the stage was a
little bit, cumbersome SO i smoothed that.

Speaker 6 (02:22:01):
Out, okay CAN i ask you a, question and this
is this is. One what could you have done? Differently
what did you speed up or was it just?

Speaker 2 (02:22:10):
Trasicians my transitions were, Fantastic so was there supposed to
be more time between this to be? Ready? No wait a.
Minute What i'm asking is how much time were you
supposed to kill between? TRANSITIONS i don't. Know BUT i
was just running that thing like a fine old. Machine
WHEN i heard by talking about where, EARLY i thought

way let me go ahead and give you my yes
for next. Year SO i know that's what you're about to, ask,

Speaker 1 (02:36:02):
Just trying to, say this is The Rick Burgess, Show
america are you ready for more of The Rick Burgess.
SHOW i hope so.

Speaker 2 (02:36:24):
Becus we're, Here, Speedy Greg adler of The gang all here.
Today we've covered a, lot so if you've missed, it
go back and catch today's archive on our.

Speaker 5 (02:36:35):
Podcast are our YouTube.

Speaker 2 (02:36:37):
Channels so mentioned this earlier put a post out On.
INSTAGRAM i told you guys a few days ago that
dear Friend Jordie henson that his earthly life was close to.
Ending and then over the Weekend saturday, night we got
the news that we knew that we would get on
any day from his family that he had passed. Away

(02:37:00):
So Jordi, henson you know he had a. History because
anybody who are true friends of ours will find themselves
on the, show but even off the. Show one thing
That Jordie, henson along with a couple of our other
friends who we spend a good pit a bit of time,

(02:37:21):
TOGETHER i THINK i think the time that we're the
times we're in now more than, ever people aren't really
fostering true. FRIENDSHIPS i think technology has taken us further,
apart not not brought us closer. Together AND i think
there's almost like the word friend gets thrown around a

(02:37:41):
lot but the it's not an accurate presentation of. Friendship
So i'm going to try to show you WHAT i
mean by someone being a. Friend, now we all have
a lot of, acquaintances a lot of. Relationships people you work,
with people you you, know go to church with, people

(02:38:03):
your kids play little lead, together or they go to
the same high. School and those those are, great and
there's nothing wrong with. That they're. Wonderful but when you
get down to someone is my. Friend Jordie henson was
probably one of the best examples of that That i've ever.

Speaker 5 (02:38:19):
Seen he, was you're he would defend.

Speaker 2 (02:38:23):
You you, Know i'm sure you've had that before with
somebody well you, know, hey Yeah i'm a friend or.
Whatever but things a little rough on, you or you
start taking a little, heat you can't find, Them, yeah you,
Know jeordie would come and stand right beside you and
dig in and, say you, Know i'm here to defend
my friend now if you were. Wrong he would also
hold you accountable with just as much. Tenacity and we

(02:38:46):
referred to him and our the friend group that we
all hung out. Together because you, Know i've told you
about the three. Circles before you got the big circle
on the, outside like on a bull's, eye and those
are just people you interact with in.

Speaker 5 (02:38:57):
Life you're, kind you're, nice how are you good to see?

Speaker 2 (02:38:59):
You then you have that second circle that's where the
acquaintances are and all those THINGS i just. Mentioned you
know them better than that outside. Circle but you're not
gonna call them at two am and a, calamity you,
know nor are they going to call. You you, know it's
a good relationship and it's, fine but it's not really.
Deep and then you get into examples like WHEN i

(02:39:20):
think About geordie and our friendship and all the wonderful
moments he gave to The rick And bubba, show but
also just things that we did away from the show
that we just.

Speaker 5 (02:39:29):
Laughed and he loved to.

Speaker 2 (02:39:31):
Laugh he loved to goof off as much as any
Person i've ever. Known and we ribbed on each other
and we had fun in our little. Group but he
also and you know one thing we've, noticed you you
ever have a group of friends that where people are,
tight and there's the person that kind of holds it all,
together like he would always make sure that he and
two other friends that we both were close. To Mark

(02:39:54):
garnett And Scott. Dawson that was kind of our foursome
that hung out. Together and we had others that we
they're at with, too but that was kind of the,
core you. Know you, know Even jesus had the, twelve
but then he had the, three you, know and so
we we would call him the glue that kind of
held it. Together like if he he made sure that
we had lunch together minimum twice a, month and and

(02:40:18):
if you committed to a lunch and then you, canceled
he'd get on, you, well you committed to, This why
are you throwing us to the? Curb that kind of.
Thing and we've noticed since when he got sick with.
Als as he got, worse we realized that we weren't
getting together. Anymore we weren't we weren't lunching together, anymore
we weren't spending much time, together and we all WENT
jordi was the guy that made that. Happen so to

(02:40:40):
kind of give you my history with this great man
is and this this Is jeordie in a nutshell on
the night that my youngest son died his earthly. Death
as soon as we knew what was, happening the person
that everybody he went to get WAS jordi go Get,

(02:41:03):
jordie Get. Rick you go With jordy and he'll Get
he's gonna make sure you get. Home and he was
the guy. There he is standing in the, gap you
know WHAT i? Mean, uh anytime that that that there
was difficulty in my life in, calamity there Was jordie not.

(02:41:23):
Asked you didn't have to ask, him you didn't nobody
had to prompt. Him he immediately went into. Action when
WHEN i came back to do the show after you
know it had. HAPPENED i was GoF for a week
AND i came back on the show after you And
bubba and The aldough have done such a great job
holding that. Together jordy and then of course he Got

(02:41:44):
mark also And. Scott But jeordie leading the, way as
we called, him our. Bulldog he, Said rick is not
going back on that show by. Himself we're going with.
Him AND i don't know if you remember, That geordie
stood in the. Hall he didn't have to be on
the air, whatever but he wanted he wanted me to
see him and say you're not, Alone we're here with.
You and see that's a, friend that's what a friend,

(02:42:05):
does and you know it's. Uh you, know when you're
in your time of trouble and you look, around you'll
find out pretty quick who are acquaintances and who are.
Friends And jordie passed the friend test over and over and.
Over and that's just my experiences with. Him everybody would

(02:42:26):
tell you the same, thing, okay everybody he now if
HE i said WHEN i posted something about him over
the weekend AFTER i found, out If jordie felt like
That god had called him to, something you either join
him or get out of his. Way he was relentless
and and he he was Never he was always a

(02:42:48):
man of, action WHICH i. LOVE i cannot stand when
people are not people of. Action they always talk around,
something but they never do. Anything you. Know let me
tell you. This this Was jordie. Hints and if he
said he was going to do, something he went into.
Action now sometimes recklessly into, action which we would always laugh.
About you, know the time when The passion of The

(02:43:10):
christ came out and he came up with this elaborate
thing about this is our opportunity to talk to people
coming out of the, theaters and he put, together there's
some massive rented a. BUILDING i mean got got, handouts
had us all camped out outside of, theaters got a
van that you could get, in which led to a
very funny story about half the sign falling. Off he
was just he was just a man of. Action If

(02:43:33):
Jordi henson was on your, team you're in good. Shape
he'll fight for. You, uh he'll he'll get the job.
Done he'll do whatever it. Takes and and he is
a man that was built for. Calamity you want a
calming force to come into a chaotic.

Speaker 5 (02:43:51):
Situation Jordi henson always.

Speaker 2 (02:43:55):
And and and and there was never a time THAT
i was in and he was with me in some
really deep. Holes and uh AND i tried to be
there for. Him never could match his. TENACITY i KNOW i.
Didn't but you, know even while he was taking us
through his darkest, time he he pointed people To, jesus

(02:44:16):
he pointed people he you, know the first thing That
Jordie hinson thought of think about this when he got.
Als most people would, say, poor, poor pitiful. Me jordie's
attitude IS i got to do something to find a
cure for. Als that must be WHY i have. It
and he, tried he, Did he was did all the.
Testing his body is in the male clinic right, now

(02:44:39):
saying IF i can help y'all find a cure to,
this let's.

Speaker 5 (02:44:42):
Go let's do.

Speaker 2 (02:44:43):
It let me try these. TRIALS i, mean, Hey i've
been given a death. Sentence let's try. It and you,
know because he thought it might help somebody, else even
if it didn't help. Him. Uh you, never you never
had a pity party With Jordie. Henson. Uh and and
he was he was always ministering to you wh you
were trying to minister to. Him you, Know it's just
the way it was, built you. Know and so you

(02:45:05):
talk about somebody that's gonna get a well, done you
talk about somebody that was.

Speaker 5 (02:45:10):
Impassioned you.

Speaker 2 (02:45:11):
Know one other thing is is he started speaking for
us on Teen Man church, Too AND i knew WHEN
i sent him out that the people were just going
to fall in love with. Him but unfortunately he got
sick pretty quick on, that so we didn't get To
he didn't get to do that as much AS i
would have loved, it because he had so many other.
THINGS i was, like, look don't feel like. That you've
pressured to. Come and when he thought it was time
for him to be part of. It he came home

(02:45:32):
and told me thought it was, time you, Know and
then of course he immediately went out and started getting
after it on that. Too so so, yeah every TIME
i think about difficulty in my, LIFE i think At Geordie,
henson always, there always standing in the, gap always undergirden,
you always always telling you the, truth always encouraging, you

(02:45:56):
always inspiring. YOU i MEAN i, remember you. Know we'll
talk about it On Strange acount at a future. Episode
we we had some spiritual warfare going inside our.

Speaker 5 (02:46:04):
House there Was.

Speaker 2 (02:46:06):
Jordie he went in, there wide, open battling demons and
and and just coming in the name Of, jesus ready to.
Go you, know when when we When sherry AND i
were getting attacked by the world for making a stand
for for, him he didn't worry about how he might be.
Perceived he didn't worry about that maybe he might start
taking some. Heat he stood right there with, us and

(02:46:28):
and things that some of y'all don't even know. About
he's standing in the. Driveway i'm, here and and that's a.
Friend but that that's that separates the friend from the,
acquaintance from the PERSON i work with and the person
that you, know my kids go to school. With and
all those relationships have their, place but they're not. Friendship
and And Jordie henson was one of the greatest examples

(02:46:51):
of friendship THAT i have ever. Known and and so, he,
uh he will get a well. Done and he was
not just a friend of, me he was a friend of.
Many AND i promise you that he gets a well,
done good and faithful. Servant AND i promise you when
we get to the point where he'll, be we'll do
the memorial service and lay his body to. Rest we'll

(02:47:12):
have too much to, say we won't be scrambling for
things to.

Speaker 5 (02:47:15):
Say and well.

Speaker 2 (02:47:18):
Done and you know, what he's there with His, daddy
those that have gone before. Him he's there in the
presence of The, lord in The savior that he served
with just passion and. Devotion he lived a life that
mattered and his impact is far. Reaching we'll be.

Speaker 1 (02:47:41):
Back this is The Rick Burgess, show doing what he

(02:48:08):
was born to, Do The Rick.

Speaker 2 (02:48:11):
Burgishow thank you for being here with us again, Today.
America really good word out Of georgia on Text. Nation
thanks for sharing about such a. FRIEND i found myself
sitting here praying for a friend like. That but then
all of a sudden it dawned on, me one THING

(02:48:32):
i can. Control why DON'T i be a friend like?

Speaker 12 (02:48:35):
That good?

Speaker 2 (02:48:36):
Word good word that you can. Control All, Right so
we have a study. Today i'm trying to figure it.
Out it's complicated BECAUSE i don't understand and Maybe, adlert
you And speedy can can help me with. This scientists
think they may have pinpointed the reason why more boys

(02:48:58):
than girls have autism and a d H. D and
they're they're talking about stressors in the, environment calling them
toxic and forever. Chemicals BUT i don't know what a
forever chemical would. Be and that's kind of crucial to
the story because they're talking about the effects and they

(02:49:18):
go later in the story and, uh these these are
things that are that are happening in the, environment not.
Genetic that's the most that's the biggest thing out of the. Study, it's,
uh the the impact of P f P f h X.
A i DON'T i don't know what this. IS i
don't know what a forever chemical.

Speaker 8 (02:49:38):
Is, well you see these people in a lot of
situations trying to get rid of nonstick. Cookware, OH i
see some food packaging and things like.

Speaker 7 (02:49:48):
That uh so that's what they're talking.

Speaker 2 (02:49:50):
About, okay thank. YOU i wanted examples of. That thank.

Speaker 5 (02:49:53):
You that's what that's WHAT i.

Speaker 2 (02:49:55):
Need. Uh the chemicals Like adler's talking about are believed
warp brain, signals calling long term behavioral changes in, boys
such as social, anxiety difficult, sitting, still finding hard to follow,
instructions and all. This they're saying that when they took
mice male and female and they applied these products or these,

(02:50:17):
chemicals that they saw that the male mice started having
all kinds of reactions to it in their. Brain the
females much. More they did have, it but it was more.
Mild and they, said the female brain seems to be
better than the male brain if it's been compromised by
these chemicals at just copying behavior of children that don't

(02:50:41):
have these chemicals or have not been poisoned for lack
of a better, word by these. Chemicals and the males
don't seem to be able to copy appropriate behavior as,
well almost like the females can adapt to it better
than the. MEN i, mean the males is why you
don't see it as. Prominent and it is there and
pronounced in, emails don't misunderstand, me but not to the

(02:51:02):
level it seems to be with. Boys and so they're
pinpointing the harmful effects of these chemicals on the. Brain,
now this is where some people are gonna get upset
and you'll have to take it up with the researchers
that are doing. This they are saying that this could
be could be hypothesis one of the reasons that we

(02:51:26):
see soaring autism uh in. People, now this is coming
out Of. England they're having it there. Too it's not
just In america and it and it's talking about. That
they are finding far too many children that don't seem
to show the signs of it after they're. Born they
show the signs of it later after. Exposure meaning a

(02:51:48):
lot of this is not tied to anything, genetic a genetic.
Predisposition it's it's it's a and we've been saying, this
it's an. Insult there's something new being introduced which would
also EXPLAIN i know this is very. Unpopular why we
have seen some therapies that have taken children that were,

(02:52:10):
nonverbal they become. Verbal some children who still, struggle but
they become much more socially.

Speaker 12 (02:52:18):
Able.

Speaker 2 (02:52:19):
TO i, MEAN i have a son who works in
this field that if you, know if therapy is, working
then that means there was some sort of. Insult it
doesn't mean that you were genetically born with, it because
if that was the, case you, know some of these
things they do to remove the heavy metals and things

(02:52:41):
like that shouldn't just all of a sudden and change
the diet sometimes because a lot of it's gastro. Intestinal
then you, know changing these things shouldn't make a child
who seemed foggy and not communicate suddenly become more bright
eyed and. Communicate that shouldn't. Work and they're saying the
reason why some of these things do, work and of
course the spectrum is so. Complicated what works for one

(02:53:04):
child doesn't work for, another and for some nothing seems to,
work WHICH i, THINK i don't think all the. Cases you,
know maybe they don't have the same. Situation maybe you
know you've got the genetic versus the. INSULT i don't
know that that's just a, theory but but this is
something that is hard science that says these forever chemicals we,
have we we've done the, studies and it does have

(02:53:27):
a negative impact on brain. Function especially for. Boys so
that that they're, saying we're we're looking at it and
we'll develop this as we go, along but early indications
are there's something to.

Speaker 6 (02:53:39):
This and then and they said the boys their symptoms
or their side effects were a little bit more.

Speaker 2 (02:53:44):
Pronounced other, words it was. Obvious that's what you.

Speaker 6 (02:53:46):
Know and and so they're they're, Saying, okay is that
part of why the study came out the way it
is or? What but you're, Right, rick is there's a
lot that's gone into these, uh these chemicals that make
things last longer and nonstick and.

Speaker 2 (02:54:02):
Things, yeah just wonder, well there's always, there always been
the thought that some of it was. Environmental, now when
you're talking about a little boy not been able to,
sit steal and stuff like, THAT i see the. TEXT
i understand we're not really talking about. That, YEAH i,
mean boys need to be disciplined and they need to be.
Punished autism and a boy that can't that can't behave

(02:54:23):
that that really it's not the same. Thing you're wrong about.
That and then it shows you may have never dealt
with autism, before but you, know when you get into
to that, spectrum it's a completely different, situation and maybe
there's an environmental insult that we can hopefully pinpoint and
maybe help the next. GENERATION i don't, know but, anyway

(02:54:46):
just want to update you on. That that's a study
that just came out today involving the forever.

Speaker 5 (02:54:50):
Chemicals we'll be right.

Speaker 1 (02:54:51):
Back this is The Rick Burgess, show the man who
was bold enough to point out that there is no
such thing as dog. Years dogs just don't live as

(02:55:15):
