Welcome to another hour on another day, another week of
the Rick Burgess Show. I'd be Rick and over here, Speedy,
Greg Adler. All in for another week, and we are
thankful that you are with us. Active weekend. We'll recap
it all here today. Obviously, as far as headlines, the

(02:07):
bombing of Iran over the weekend is your big story
in the aftermath of that. We'll break that down today.
Everyone's favorite Persian David Nasser. He's been in high demand
anytime there, which means all the time when there is
unrest in Iran, people are always looking for David Naser.

(02:28):
And I knew over the weekend that he would be
in very high demand on every podcast and show you
could possibly name today. And David is kind enough to
give us a couple of segments a little bit later on,
and we will hear from someone who knows first hand
what it's like to live under the various tyrannical regimes

(02:49):
in the Iranian history, his family escaping one of those
regimes and coming to America. His testimony has moved many
and he's been on the Rick and A Show many times,
and we'll be with us again today. So we will
talk with Naser and have his very unique perspective of
all things involving Iran.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
And if you look back over history, we've.

Speaker 6 (03:13):
Been dealing with Iran for a very long time and
we are doing it again. So we'll get into that.
It was a very successful military attack. It was precision,
it was beautiful, it was I think send a message
to the rest of the world. It feels good to

(03:36):
I think this was also something that we've been needing
to do for a very long time and send a
message to Iran and to our enemies and to the
world that we are blessed and capable of doing things
that no other nation can pull off. So so that
that is that's good.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Now.

Speaker 6 (03:55):
There's all kinds of political posturing, which this was talked
about over the weekend, just with even family. There was
a time that we could drop politics and all come
together against common enemies.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Unfortunately that time is over.

Speaker 6 (04:14):
Sadly that this making a case against this is just bizarre.
You're really you're really on shaky ground. You almost just
have to say, well, I just I'm gonna throw a
tantrum because I don't like this political party, I don't
like this president. So there's nothing they can do that
I can ever compliment or say, yeah, that was the

(04:35):
right thing to do, But.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
That's all right.

Speaker 6 (04:39):
And leadership always requires that even when you have people
throwing tantrums on the floor and jumping up and down
and you know what they're going to say about you,
you you're bold enough to make the right decision regardless
of you know, your any attempt to appease those that
you're never going to appease anyway, you know, you just
have to do what's right, and then what what happens happened.

(05:00):
So so we'll we'll unpack that today a little bit.
We won't spend the entire show on that, but we
we will get uh well, we'll kind of hit on
it a little bit. We'll go to other things and
we'll come back later in the show when David Nash's
with us. And of course he's gonna be speaking to
it from a unique point of view, and certainly not
from politics, uh, but from more of a spiritual component.

(05:22):
But there's there's a lot of depth to it. I've
seen some of the things he's already said, uh that
he's put out on his social media. So I'm looking
forward to that conversation.

Speaker 7 (05:30):
Yeah, the same people that are criticizing, uh, the administration
about the aftermath and the and and the fears of
Iran retaliating and all this kind of stuff, we're not
concerned about them having nuclear capabilities.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
It's kind of funny.

Speaker 7 (05:44):
It's like these same people you're worried about if they
had nuclear capabilities, they would use it. Uh So, But yeah,
it'll be interesting to hear from from NASA. And I
don't know where you guys were, Rick, I know where
we actually, I know you were over in peerl Uh
and uh when when when I got notified cation on
my phone Trump to address the nation at at you know,

(06:04):
nine pm Central or whatever. And I'm like, huh, that's weird.
I'm like, hey, hon, Trump's gonna, you know, address the
nation the next we are successfully. I'm like, wow, so
it's already happened. Never mind, good gracious, it was, you know,
him coming on to let everybody know that it that
it happened was up Now.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
I see my pen over there where I got that
pen from in front? You can have this right out there?
That one, No, that blue one's wine. Yes, it is
over here.

Speaker 8 (06:33):
We have we can buy more pins.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, okay, he's.

Speaker 8 (06:37):
About there's enough fighting going on in the world right now.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, thank you, Yeah, okay, I.

Speaker 6 (06:42):
Just keep your pen out from over here. Then, okay,
it was laying right there. I I was probably over
doing something important with him over your area, and can
get it. My pen was gone sitting in front of you.
That's all I can say.

Speaker 9 (06:53):
All right, where's the label maker? We're gonna label everybody's pens.
One's gonna see Rick on it, and one's gonna say Greg, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Let's all come together, Greg against one common enemy. Thank you.

Speaker 6 (07:06):
But I was you're talking about where you were, So
I was in Pearl, Mississippi, and I definitely want to
think those wonderful people, and I mean, the service is over,
the gripping grin is over talking with people and all that,
and I mean, I'm literally grabbing up what I need
to take back with me. And one of the guys

(07:28):
who had left came back in the door and said, Hey,
just so y'all know we're bombing Iran right now.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
And I said, okay, great, so it's on.

Speaker 6 (07:35):
And that was like, and you know one thing I noticed,
it's sad. It really is sad that's come to this
in terrestrial radio.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Now.

Speaker 6 (07:44):
When I say terrestrial radio, i'm talking about I turn
on radio station and I listened to whatever's on there. Okay,
this isn't streaming, this isn't podcast archives, this isn't YouTube,
this isn't satellite.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
This is what we all grew up on. And it
was weekend.

Speaker 6 (08:01):
Okay, if you didn't have satellite or you didn't have
some way to access something that was live. I could
not find one radio station that was doing breaking news,
not one. Every one of them were playing outdated, old things.
They had no update, they had no here's our newsroom. Here,

(08:22):
we're now joining this live. Not one radio station. And
I scanned all the way home, not one.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
That's a sad state. It is. It is.

Speaker 6 (08:31):
There was a time when, of course you have to
as you said, Greg, you'd have to have a news
staff to do that. Are someone who could join the
network news, you know via sidellite, that had to actually
be in a studio to do that. But I did
not have any any coverage of it at all in
that in that pitiful So.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
That was and it kind of made me sad.

Speaker 7 (08:50):
Yeah, that is sad because that's kind of because of course,
then I go to the place you can always trust.

Speaker 6 (08:56):
You start trying to search social media and all that trust.
Let me tell you everything. You're like, before you know it,
somebodwill show you footage. Right now, I'm watching what's happening,
And then you look around the headlines. Nobody's reporting that.
Somebody just make that up.

Speaker 7 (09:10):
That's yeah, exactly, Like here's the beef ifty Tuesday win
and then you started reading comments.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
No, that's a uh, like, what's that.

Speaker 6 (09:18):
Here's people right now burning something down. You look, nobody's
burning it down.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah yeah, here's the explosion of whatever.

Speaker 7 (09:23):
And then you see no, that was in twenty and
eleven or you're like dead.

Speaker 9 (09:27):

Speaker 6 (10:15):
My conversation with Tom Carr, a paranormal investigator for nearly
forty years. I just wanted to concentrate on what he
said he did have encounters with demons. I said, that's
kind of where I want to land right there now.
Tom and I did not agree on everything, as you'll
find out in the episode, but it was a very,

(10:37):
very informative conversation. I'm grateful for his time and I

I don't know when it is. Well, we'll find out.
I'm sure that's an easy google. I don't I don't understand.
Not a lot of sled use in Alabama and Georgia.

Speaker 6 (15:49):
You know, this is part of the If you bring
up sleds in South Georgia and where we live in Alabama,
no one even wants to talk about it owns talk.

Speaker 9 (16:01):
Have you noticed that there's that hardware stores will keep
sleds year round and you're like, I'm not going to
buy one of those because they're like, you know, one
hundred bucks for a plastic shell. But then then we
get that snow day, and then that guy that runs
that hardware store all of a sudden very excited because you.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Talking about after he's lost all the money on having
it in inventory, right right, they put.

Speaker 8 (16:26):
It like put it like out of reach and everything.

Speaker 9 (16:29):
But the local hardware store I remember, would always sell
out of the of sleds on on the rare snow
days that we would get in Birmingham.

Speaker 6 (16:37):
Well, you know, we never we never even remotely thought
slid even on snow days. We slid on things that
were just around the house and trash when you had
metal trash.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Fan had pans.

Speaker 13 (16:51):
We did.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
We never thought we would commit to a slid.

Speaker 8 (16:53):
Recycling bins work really well.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Right, not not in Alabama. Did I ever commit to
all we made? We made stuff?

Speaker 6 (17:00):
Yeah, I remember one time you remember the big hill
where the high school used to be before they of
course away with it. It was snow day and somebody
had you know them old refrigerators that were kind of curvy, Yeah,
had refrigerator door in it.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
It looked like a bob sled.

Speaker 6 (17:13):
Yes, And they would file in it and come and
find Yeah, we were let's say that's smart. Were no
sled though. Yeah, I don't know that we ever had
enough snow for a sled to work. It needs a
certain amount of snow.

Speaker 14 (17:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (17:27):
I was having to drag my kids through our last
snow day on those on the trash can lid.

Speaker 8 (17:32):
They needed some help even down the hills.

Speaker 13 (17:35):
Right.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah, the little southern kids don't know what to do.

Speaker 8 (17:39):
I mean, and you so hope that the kids are
going to have fun, but then they get cold. Yeah,
and they till they get mad. Yes, they get they
get so wet. They don't know how to handle the snows.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, you're you're going to doubt my memory on this,
but I can remember.

Speaker 6 (17:57):
And we were little, because we still living in Birmingham kids,
and the same thing happened. Mom dressed us all up.
I remember that got us out in the snow, and
Greg got mad about it in about ten minutes, yes,
and went back to got too cold, his hands got
wet or something.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
He went back. And Mom has spent so much time
bundling soup an hour to get outside, like Ralph's brother,
when I mistaken, that's when I dressed. I think I
called myself smoke you bear, Smoke you bear, because you
smoke you bear, had I had the full thing around
my face and brown.

Speaker 8 (18:35):
Good time?

Speaker 2 (18:36):
I did have been a minute. So there we go.
You're gonna see some sledge too, buddy. Yeah, that's real.

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

Speaker 2 (18:47):
All right. So a lot of us have been we've
been sold on.

Speaker 6 (18:50):
Hey, here's how you do your retirement four O one K,
all of these things.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
But you being lied to?

Speaker 6 (18:57):
Wall Street insists the only way to have enough money
to retires to put your life savings in one of
these things. That just isn't right, or maybe an IRA
and you know, roll the dice, you know, Wall Street casino.
But but if if that were true, why the studies
show the average in American, the average American following that
advice is going to outlive their savings by staggering ten years.

(19:22):
And even the man who invented the four O one
K do you know this says it's a monster that
should be destroyed. So are you being lied to? Max
out your IRA?

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (19:35):
Max out your four oh one K and then they
make you beg permission to use your own money?

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Have you been through this?

Speaker 6 (19:41):
Well, there's a better way. It's time to get the
truth and discover a better way to grow and protect
your money. Bank on Yourself is the proven retirement plan
alternative banks in Wall Street desperately hope you never hear about.
It gives you guaranteed predictable growth and retirement income guaranteed.

(20:04):
With bank on Yourself, your plan doesn't go backward when
the market tumbles. Your principle and growth are locked in
tax free retirement income. You'll know your tax rate in
retirement because it'll be zero under current tax law, which
protects you from the coming tax tsunami. How about this
built in inflation protection. Your money's guaranteed to grow by

(20:26):
a larger dollar amount every year in both good and
bad times.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
And also you're in control.

Speaker 6 (20:32):
You get access to your money for emergencies and opportunities
with no questions asked, no begging the government or government
penalties or restrictions on how much or when you can
take it out. So when you use your money, it
keeps growing like you never touched it. I tried doing
that with the four oh one k or an ira.
Let me tell you can't, So it's time for you

Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, better than most everything out there. So I mean
you look if you're in a week conference I mean
conference champions conference championship.

Speaker 6 (21:40):
Thank you for thank you for being with us on
another Rick Burgess shows. Appreciate all the feedback and encouragement
and the fun that that we're having.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Thank you so much for that.

Speaker 6 (21:53):
Uh, speaking of that, one of the ongoing themes that
everywhere we go, by the way, those of you who
and you continue this, uh, it actually took place on
Saturday night in Pearl, Mississippi. This thing that keeps coming
up involving our mom. Greg Man, I'm telling you, I

(22:18):
just I mean, y'all got to get your mom on
the show. And I'm just like, yes, guysys. So yesterday
after church not making this up Adler speed, no embellishment
whatsoever now zero. So Sherry had already said, hey, after
church when we go by and see you mom, and

(22:39):
I said, yeah, sounds good, let's go visit mom. Sounds great.
And so we go through church, and of course I'd
already had to come through, had to work to a
little something, got scolded, a little bit, got scolded. Everybody
called it on me too. Look, I didn't mean anything
by it. It's just, you know, I'm just a good one.
You know this has been very right.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Let's go to.

Speaker 6 (23:01):
Let's go somewhere in the late eighties, somewhere in the
late eighties, early to mid nineties. If you if you
and I speaking of strange encounters, if you and I
had been, like say, hanging out, and suddenly an angel
came and walked up to you and me and said, hey, Greg,
you're not gonna believe this.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
One day, your brother's going to be a deacon at
the local church. What would you have said? Probably not.

Speaker 14 (23:25):
Angel.

Speaker 6 (23:26):
I know you know everything you got us mistaken for
someone else, right, you know, I know angels. I guess
y'all don't make mistakes. But I think you have to
wrong your wrong people trying to give you credit. But right,
so and so that's you know, it's a it's you
know me is that's it's an interesting thing. And so
one of the things that you know, I've been working
on is successfully handing out the Lord's Supper without spilling it,

(23:49):
without confusing the isles. But there's also one thing which
our grandmother in heaven would demand every week. But you know,
it's become more easily acceptable now for people to dress
what our grandmother would have determined casual for church. I mean,
that's it's not uncommon even in the most conservative churches.

(24:11):
Now most you'll see a lot of people that dress casual.
And and I and I'm one of those people too.
When I say casual, I still wear some sort of
you know, either dress.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Pants or you know some you know, I might go
with some new genes. And if it's like cold, I
can't wear them in the heat. Uh.

Speaker 6 (24:32):
And you know you got your your polo on your whatever.
I mean, I don't come in there with a T
shirt on or anything like that. Not that collared shirt,
your collar shirt, but tank top. But even though the
church that I attend is fine with that, on the
day of you handing out.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
The Lord's Supper, you're supposed to wear a jacket.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (24:53):
Yeah, And as a deacon, not that ment the church,
just as a dec and so I have neglect to
do that the last couple of times. Not because I'm
being defiant. I'm just I just forget and I get
to church and I'm like, oh, I got to do
the Lord's Supper today. No matter how many emails they
sent me, no matter how many texts, it's not on me.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
It's not on them. I mean it's on me.

Speaker 6 (25:13):
They give me plenty of reminders, plenty. I just you know, speedy,
that's not surprising to you all. So this this, uh,
this this particular week, the head of the deacons put
in there and everybody agreed it was directed at me,
and they are correct.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
I don't deny that.

Speaker 6 (25:32):
Do not forget to wear your jacket, Rick, And they
didn't say my name, but I know it was directed
at me.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (25:39):
So anyway, so I wore jacket Sunday and and I'm
pretty successful on getting the elements out and all this.
Even got a text from the worship leader thank you
for the jacket. May give me a little bit of
a hard time, And I said, uh, just have a
servant's heart, or in this case, a servant's suit.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
So anyway, So we're going by.

Speaker 6 (26:02):
After we got through all that, walk into mom's little
cottage where she lives in her little community. And I
walk in and Mom looks up and she goes, okay,
well I have to let you go okay? And I
said who was that?

Speaker 2 (26:16):
She was Greg?

Speaker 6 (26:18):
And I said on a Sunday. She goes, oh, Greg
calls me every day, and look when she this is
the face Greg cast me every day and puts your
phone down. And I said, I said, Mom, can I
just take this thing on? What Greg calling you every day?
You can't count Monday through Friday. I'm impressed with Saturday Sunday.
I'll even. But I said, look Greg's doing. I said,

(26:41):
you remember how Dad started acting when he had grandkids.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
She said yeah. I said he kind of turned into
an old man trying to get into heaven. Yeah, And
she said, I said this is Greg. I need all
the helping. Greg's trying to amend for how bad he was.

Speaker 15 (26:54):
Oh that right?

Speaker 6 (26:55):
And I said, all the headaches he gave you and
all the problems he gave you. I said, I don't,
I don't. I don't feel an obligation because I was
a good kid, right, And I said, you know, it's
a little boy.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
I was in no trouble. I wasn't.

Speaker 6 (27:07):
I didn't cause the trouble that Greg calls. I said,
I said, this is Greg knowing that he's lived longer
than he has left to live.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
And I said, and he is. He's trying to make
amends and he's grabbing for straws.

Speaker 9 (27:20):
And because of Rick, because of Greg's commute, those the
weekday calls don't.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
Count, that's what you're saying.

Speaker 8 (27:27):
Really, so he really just calls his mom twice a week.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Correct, Rick's incorrect there, But okay.

Speaker 8 (27:33):
Now, how long are these calls?

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Greg, Greg's got an hour? Twenty?

Speaker 6 (27:39):
Now, I will say this, if you have thirty minutes,
if you don't have aging parents yet, you know there
are no short phone calls anymore.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Okay, there are.

Speaker 8 (27:49):
Thirty minutes is a long time.

Speaker 6 (27:50):
And if I got to give you that, if you
if you make the mistake of saying to your agent,
so how are things going, then go ahead.

Speaker 8 (27:58):
That's a hard thirty Yeah, you it's a long time.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Even if you've heard it. Yeah, yeah, and you're done talking,
by the way, it's it's a monologue.

Speaker 8 (28:05):
Now, okay, Rick, I'll say all this is wise.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Ye.

Speaker 7 (28:09):
Remember we went over Greg and I went over to Rainbow,
Omega to their campus, and and you know, that's probably
what thirty five minutes from where we were sitting like that.

Speaker 16 (28:19):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (28:19):
And we were getting really close to the exit, like
literally an exit away. And I called Greg and he said, oh, man,
I'm sorry. I was talking to mom. Oh yeah, and
I'm thinking you've been on the phone this entire time.
He goes, oh, yeah, so I know that was.

Speaker 6 (28:33):
Thirty minute called. I mean, they're not all thirty minutes.
But Lisa, I will tell you this.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
I stayed.

Speaker 6 (28:38):
I stayed yesterday an extra hour to try to combat it. Look, okay,
I was I leave the car and jacket. Yes, I did,
because it was blazing out.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
It was a thousand degrees. Even my trunk was going.
Somebody help me, I said, Oh, I said, okay, so
this is how bread feels. Yeah, yeah, like somebody over there.

Speaker 9 (29:01):
Went to my grandma's house yesterday with the kids. I
didn't realize this, but when I got in the room,
my mom actually turned down the thermostat and I was
still roasting. Oh yes, she turned it down to seventy five.
That was notably down and my grandma was wearing like

(29:23):
a down vest on. My grandma, it's an oven in here.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
We are rolls, Larry. It can't be hot. It can't
Just about seventy eight, can I tell you something weird?

Speaker 6 (29:39):
And I'm trying to look at the transition because this weekend,
Lord willing you know, unless you know it gets too dangerous.
We're supposed to go see my oldest son, a second
oldest child and his wife and they live. They live
in New York City, so Sherry and I are going
to see them for the weekend, and we're kind of
we're excited about that. But I was looking at the

(29:59):
four cass in the in in the city and it's
gonna be one hundred and one Wednesday, seventy eight on Friday.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Yeah, I was, what was interesting that you said? What
is that you get through Wednesday?

Speaker 17 (30:11):
I was.

Speaker 7 (30:12):
I caught a I guess a weather forecast segment and
they were talking about it. There's about a five or
six day stretch where it's gonna be hot, but then
there's gonna it's gonna cool off again. But let me
ask you, let me are we getting into that? I say,
please understand when I say cool.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Are we getting into that cool down?

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Here?

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Is that strictly a northwest? Let me let me do
this too. I'm tired of this.

Speaker 6 (30:31):
Oh boy, hey people, it's it's summer and it gets hot.
It's nothing new. We got weather advisories. We got it's
always hot in June July. What are we talking about.
I don't know what is the deal when we got
to have an advisory for I thought the storm's coming.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Thank you. No, I know it's hot. If you get
too hot, go back in the house. Can I just not?
I mean, we're supposed to go hot? What do you
what do you do? It's going in the nineties to
the eighties here? Okay? Can I can I tell you?

Speaker 18 (30:58):
Kid?

Speaker 2 (30:58):
You know what this is about? Great?

Speaker 6 (31:00):
You know this about whether people weather people, whether they'll
get me hot, whether they will admit it or not.
And I've heard some of them, some of have admitted
to me privately it's clickbait. I'm not gonna click on
it if you don't tell me something scary. If you
just tell me it's normal summer, it's always hot in
the summer. In Alabama, the year was nineteen eighty three.

(31:23):
Come on, the year was nineteen eighty three, and it's
the end of June's forty two years ago. Okay, forty
two years ago. No one gave me a heat advisory
when I was doing two a days at Troy and
it was a one hundred and ten degrees okay the
heat index.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
We had someone die at practice over at Auburn, which
is not far from where we were, and we had
someone dying on the field where I was not one
heat advisory. And if you'll remember, and I think I
think we still do it today.

Speaker 6 (31:59):
That's where the heat time out came from my senior
year in high school, probably the first year, because it
was that year you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Did they come up with the little heat time out?

Speaker 6 (32:07):
You know you're right because your your senior year was
the fall of eighty three. Yeah, yeah, right, and that
see if we just come out of the summer of
eighty three.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah, but hey, guys, I got bad news for you all.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
It's you.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
It's gonna be hot. Yeah, it's gonna be hot. I
don't need to be advised of it.

Speaker 8 (32:23):
No, man, is it gonna be humid?

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Too?

Speaker 19 (32:26):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (32:27):
You the Deep South?

Speaker 20 (32:28):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (32:28):
What you're saying is the Rick Burgess Show simply health
working the competition The rick Burg.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
Show, Active Active Active still to come today.

Speaker 6 (32:55):
David Nasher joins us, we'll talk to everyone's favorite person
and Ran once again. We're we're hey, we're we're having
a conflict with Iran that never happens. Uh, So we'll
talk to him about that. He has a very unique
perspective of coming up a little bit later on. Uh
So we'll talk about that. We've we mentioned the bombing

(33:16):
over the weekend. We can get into that a little
more too. Also reminds you that it is Larry Quest week.

Speaker 18 (33:23):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (33:24):
Speedy will go to Larry and Carolyn's home Dublin, Georgia
coming up this Wednesday, and he'll be live from that
from Patch Paradise coming up on Thursday's program.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
That's real, buddy, yes, so real.

Speaker 9 (33:40):
So just for anybody that's not familiar with what's going on,
Speedy is going to a random listener's house that collects patches, right,
and that's how we met them. They called us asking
if we have any patches to send them. Uh And
they're also also they're not murderers, that's.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
No, and he was he let me know that again, Well,
that's important that that was what a murderer really tell you.
I rarely do they rarely do somefing do tonight? They don't.
They don't wear like, you know, name tags underneath their name. Murderer.

Speaker 6 (34:15):
Well you got if you hadn't asked me that question.
But since you did ask yes, I actually they had
to ask you. Just you know, say you're out for
a jog and some strange person keeps following you. Rarely
do they admit it? Yeah, Hey, I just like to
know why I'm jogging.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
Are you a murderer? No, I'm good, keep going. Yeah,
good morning. No, I'm back here, and don't think anything
that I get closer, we get to where the woods
get thicker. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (34:38):
And the reason why this is such a big deal
is because this is a first for any staff member.
We go spend the night at some we need to
make a habit of it now that we've never met
in person. I'm just saying, maybe one and done is
a first. Don't you think starts a new thing?

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Greg?

Speaker 11 (34:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (34:58):
The what about this?

Speaker 6 (35:00):
I mean maybe they could. Hey, guys, on's the next thing.
Guys will let you know in a couple of weeks,
we spend the night with somebody else.

Speaker 8 (35:06):
Yeah, Speedy buys me lunch is the thing we do
this month.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Speedy spends the night he buys me lunch slash, Speedy
sleeps over doing a vingeration, go doing advinger ration and
then go home with him inside.

Speaker 6 (35:25):
It's so good, all right, be honest, be honest. And
somebody s put this up on the text line and
I looked, this is terrible.

Speaker 12 (35:31):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
If you were to meet Larry, are you to meet
Ted Bundy?

Speaker 6 (35:35):
Oh wow, you would probably think I tell I go
Ted Monday, I have lunch with Ed was known for
his charisma, Yes he was.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
He'd win you over. Yeah, and if that didn't work,
he'd have a fake cast only hit you over the
head with it. Not hate. Not a bad personality makes
in you can tell Joe Rick not just a murder.
I mean he put him on the head doing things
you're like really walking talking demon as man.

Speaker 8 (36:01):
Yes, that's not what Speedy's going No no, I'm not
saying no.

Speaker 6 (36:07):
No, no, but keeping but he did share something that
we do need to say. He is going to spend
the night at two people's houses. He doesn't know, that's
just the only met on a voicemail.

Speaker 7 (36:19):
Yeah, I've had, I've had some phone conversations common yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's great.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
But you're right.

Speaker 7 (36:25):
They were introduced to us because they called your office
voicemail to tell you week one their patches collection.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
Week one.

Speaker 6 (36:33):
We had only been doing this show for about a week, yes,
when we when we worked from there and want the Cat,
we had not been on this show very long speed
at all. Right, And then on that footage this is
from their house when they News did a story on
them and Cat ran through the shot.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
He's so serious right there. Yeah, I know I did
see the cat.

Speaker 7 (36:57):
Yeah, and then now Carolyn says, the cat's going to
be on the back screenport there, look out, look at
that sweet couple, Carolyn.

Speaker 8 (37:07):
There's such a there's such a cute, sweet couple. And
definitely not.

Speaker 7 (37:12):
Of course not of course not so anyway, So that's there,
and we won't try to run that in the ground.
It's just the first and it's it's National patch Day
tomorrow on the week that I go over.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
That's something that's just when you saw that though, there's
no kind of sign serious.

Speaker 7 (37:33):
But I know and I know y'all wanted to go,
but uh, there's just no way. Multiple staff members could
leave during the week and and pull that off. Right now,
I have I do have friends that are in the
law enforcement field. Going you clearly need somebody with you.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
So I'm not worried about the two of them. So
we're good. We're good, and and.

Speaker 7 (37:55):
I'll let them know when we're leaving and get there
Wednesday evening and have dinner with them. And I'm sure
look at patches, and I got some patches to bring in.
I don't forget those. Do not forget those. I even
thought about putting them in my truck.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Do y'all do that?

Speaker 7 (38:12):
Like if I have if I've got to bring something
or whatever, I'll go while I'm thinking about and put
it in the truck.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
I need to go put those passes.

Speaker 6 (38:19):
And then what about when you're done with it, But
it's something you're taking back home and you forget you
ride around with it for like months. Every time I
go to the back seat, they god, let's take that
to house and the listener will remember this. It was
a very kind gesture. We had vox Seats give us
purple worms because of Dad's love of purple, the plastic
purple worm, and I knew that I would never get

(38:41):
them to the farm.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
If I didn't keep them in my truck. They were
in there so long they melted.

Speaker 19 (38:45):
O no.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
Purple.

Speaker 6 (38:48):
It was a big glove of purple. But but I
did salvage some of them and I did finally get
them to the farm last week. If I but if
I left them in there on my desk, they would
have never made it. I would have I would have
walked up to the farm. And then you know, I
hate when you get then you forget something and you
start dogging it all stupid. So so anyway, they're not

(39:11):
going to spike my drink. So and they are going
to serve speedy roast beef.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
So that's good. Yeah, and that what you're happening. Yeah,
bring your own bottled water. HM, take your chance, take
your chance to get some micro Classic in there drinking glass.
And you wake up. It's two days later.

Speaker 13 (39:37):
I got s.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
What happened? I do feel quite right?

Speaker 21 (39:44):
What happens?

Speaker 2 (39:47):
The lower back hurt.

Speaker 15 (39:54):
God.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
They're a sweet couple. I like the word precious. There
are the precious is what they are. They're a sweet
little couple. I don't know what that is. We had
and he knows we're kidding.

Speaker 8 (40:08):
So he knows we're kidding around about him being a murderer.

Speaker 19 (40:13):
You know.

Speaker 6 (40:13):
Have you had anybody maybe from that area, Oh yeah,
to give you a heads up?

Speaker 2 (40:20):
Ring there? What if? And they all just disappear, you know,
because think about how much we want, to think about
how much we want references. We're not We're not even
remotely getting references. No, Rick, No one guy who's tarting
by him had to go buy him some black and miles.
That a guy that said, now his pastor did he
send a text at or is accomplice?

Speaker 19 (40:45):
You?

Speaker 2 (40:45):
Are you going to church with him?

Speaker 22 (40:47):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (40:47):
That's a lot there's a lot of moving parts here.
I don't know if I can't get there in time.

lot of people are talking about it.

no blisters. These boots are built for real work and

So grab that if you haven't and relived some of
those great moments of those wonderful decades of Radio Gold. Okay,
So I do want to say thank you. This past weekend,
I had the honor of going over to Park Place
Baptist Church and Beautiful Pearl, Mississippi, Hey Brand, Burrow and

(44:59):
Pearl right there to what a beautiful place and what
a great community and got to go over and they
could not have been better host. I want to thank
the senior pastor, Keith Grubbs. You know I tell churches
all the time when they're talking to our team they're
at the manchurch dot Com. The one thing that will

(45:21):
probably give you the most success is if you have
a pastor that buys in. If the pastor doesn't buy in,
I mean, we'll help you and we'll work, but you're
always going to kind of be going uphill if the
pastor does not embrace and buy in and endorse the
need of a healthy men's ministry in the church. Well,

(45:42):
certainly Keith Grubbs has I mean he met me in
the parking lot. He's very, very involved. They finished their
first year and they just did a wonderful job. They
have nine different small groups all doing the curriculum and
this was the transition to year two. We added i
think twenty three new men into the small groups, which
was great. We saw men, you know, decide to repent

(46:05):
and and follow Jesus and that was wonderful. We had
an altar full and that was the night of high
Challenge and now they move into too high equipping and
they were just outstanding host and thank you for all
the feedback on the show. And they had some of
the books there, Men Don't Run in the Rain. It
was great to get feedback on that. And here's some

(46:27):
testimonies and some men picking that up and then some
of our devotionals and then they go into the second curriculum.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
So it was just it was a wonderful time.

Speaker 6 (46:35):
And drove over there on Saturday, had a nice little
drive and you know, listen to the actually archives of
the show, and you know, listening to and you know,
and when you hear us, you know, when you hear
the show, you you realize, you.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
Know, we all desperately need help. I mean, we really do.

Speaker 6 (46:54):
There were moments when you go back and I said,
so that we actually talked about that, and you hear
our discussions and so anyway, I wanted to tell you guys,
all of you here, you guys do a great job too.
What an honor to be on the show with you guys.
And thanks to those men for their help. I will
tell you if you're looking for another opportunity, you look

(47:14):
no further than this coming Saturday, the twenty eighth, I
will not be speaking, but Brian Dawson will. This is
going to be in Burlington, Kentucky. You have ever been
to Burlington, Kentucky. Burlington, Kentucky. So he'll be at Florence
Baptist Temple and they'll be kicking off our strategy four
o'clock coming up this this Saturday, the twenty eighth, So

(47:37):
Brian Dawson, if you're looking for somewhere near you in Burlington, Kentucky,
and you can always find those upcoming events at the
Maan Church dot com. So thank you Pearl Mississippi and
Park Place Baptist for a wonderful time. And I really
enjoyed hanging out with the men and talking about the
show and hearing things that were going on with them too,
So that was just incredibly encouraging.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
And I didn't get any kind of trouble or anything
like that. And it was smooth.

Speaker 6 (48:01):
Everything seemed to go smooth, no no problems at all,
no no issue it was. It was a smooth run.
So I didn't have length smooth well, you know what
it's the beauty of it is. It was a nice
three hour ride over and a nice three hour ride back,
and uh and I slept really good Saturday night, and

(48:22):
and but but that it was a you know when
you're thinking about like even for church on Sunday, Okay,
so I've got to get up at seven. I mean
that's so far removed from three point fifteen. Yeah, even
even getting in bed at midnight. I mean you're still
sleeping seven hours. Yeah, So that was that was great.
That was moving in promadd so also some other things

(48:43):
that we do need to discuss today. I do know
over the weekend, Speedy, and I'll go ahead and bring
this up. I mean, so, no, so you what you got,
so you don't so you don't have to. Okay, we
pick up a couple of champions over the weekend. Yes,
it looks like Greg, I know that you were excited
about the NBA Final.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
Sure who was in it?

Speaker 6 (49:03):
Look at you, Rick, that would be Oklahoma City, uh
in Indiana? Okay, how about that, Speedy.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
You that's not bad, Share, not bad. Like our updates
have helped, y'all.

Speaker 6 (49:14):
Sherry and I were having dinner last night and I
noticed over her head where we were that I saw
them doing the build up. I said, oh, I think
the NBA Finals are tonight. And I said, I got
to know right now, Share, I want to look at
you right now, tell me a team that's in the
NBA Finals. And she looked at me and she goes
the Celtics, And I said, you.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Know what, that's not bad. That's our team. That's the
way to I said, you sound like you sound like Greg.

Speaker 5 (49:39):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (49:39):
But anyway, I said, no, baby, I said, there's no
way you get these too. There's no way, no under
zero circumstance, because you get these right. And she said,
I said, I'm gonna say them to you. How about
Oklahoma City in Indiana? She because I didn't even know
they had teams? Yeah, And I said I didn't either.
So so anyway, so there you go. I found myself
and I guess I'm ojoed Indiana. I guess I was
kind of of I found myself draving. Now looks like

(50:02):
that they get the thunder blew them out in the game. Look,
I found myself being pulled toward Indiana a little bit
because I don't know why. I just started kind of
thinking about it, and I thought, well, where do I
have a tie. So you know, Brody's in laws, his
father in law is from Indiana. Rich Wingo is from Indiana.

(50:24):
Brody my son pulls for the Indianapolis Colts.

Speaker 19 (50:27):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
So I said, okay, I think I'll go with you.

Speaker 22 (50:30):
You're in.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
I'll go with Indiana. And of course I'm mojoed them.
And they got the Yeah, so there, And oh Tiger fans, l.

Speaker 6 (50:42):
M L s U baseball fans, they don't play no
game good LSU in general, their fans are pretty intense.
But the m L s U Tigers sweep Carolina.

Speaker 7 (50:52):
Yeah, and the best of three, they swept them to
win the College World Series. And I think that's their
second one and three years.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
Go Tigers.

Speaker 7 (50:59):
Yeah, but I hated it was a little game two. Uh,
the final game was a little tainted, and I hated
it because nothing against L s U.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
They still won it, and probably.

Speaker 7 (51:11):
I just hate when umpires do what they did, And
I mean they got a little they got a little sensitive,
and they kicked Coastal's head coach and first assistant out
of the game in the first inning of the.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
College Series Game two.

Speaker 7 (51:25):
Yeah, apparently the first base coach was barking from his
coaches box and the homeplate.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
Din't like it. Yeah, and he didn't like it. Yeah,
he got he got tripped.

Speaker 8 (51:38):
And yes, look at him, rawly kicks his leg up
in the air like woo.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
Nobody knows what we're talking about, guys.

Speaker 7 (51:45):
Yeah, the the umpires, uh, whenever they so that happened,
and then they looked to the dugout and and gave
them a warning, and the.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
Coach said, what are you talking about?

Speaker 7 (51:57):
And then he pointed down to the first base box
where the first base coach was hollering because they felt
like they had missed some some calls. And the head
coach stepped out and said, you've missed three. In other words,
you've missed three calls so far in the game. It's
only the first inning home played on by I said,
you're out at which I thought was a little quick.

Speaker 11 (52:18):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (52:19):
And then the umpires come rushing in to try to
protect the home plate umpire and one of them either
flopped or tripped on one of the other umpires or
something fell down and made all dramatic. Yeah, were you
just hate that that with that happened, That's what they
were talking about. It looked like he really flopped.

Speaker 6 (52:34):
The dump looked a little bit drum They become a
little bit drama queen ish lately.

Speaker 13 (52:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
I do want to ask you about one thing I forgot.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. In a world that
has gone nuts, they are here to well to point

(53:02):
it out. The Wick budget.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
Thank you America for a brand new day. Hanging out
with us.

Speaker 6 (53:10):
We are grateful. We have a lot still to cover today,
David Nasher joins us. Later we'll talk a ron from
everyone's favorite version, David nashas, So that's coming up a
little bit later on on the program. If you miss that,
catch it in the archives today.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
All right.

Speaker 6 (53:26):
So, I want y'all to shoot me straight, because there
was one thing that one of the guys over the
weekend just put on text Nation and he's like, Birge,
you'll have something out. Well, I wasn't gonna talk about it.
I mean, you know, it was just a good experience,
and I'm thankful for them. I want to ask y'all
and I want y'all to shoot me straight. We have

(53:47):
to be honest with each other here if we're going
to help each other, right, Okay, yeah, you know, And
unlike Tom Cruise and a few good men, I can
handle the truth.

Speaker 2 (53:57):
Okay. Do I seem feeble to you? Am I getting
more feeble.

Speaker 8 (54:02):
That I wouldn't say feeble?

Speaker 2 (54:04):
Do I get around pretty well?

Speaker 8 (54:07):
I think you get the difference. You know, sometimes you
can struggle to get around but still not be feeble.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
That's true.

Speaker 8 (54:14):
So I think you do struggle to get around. But
I don't think you're feeble.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
I mean, you know, and that's a compliment because I
actually had lunch with a childhood friend.

Speaker 6 (54:23):
I mean, I'm talking about we've known each other since
we were tiny. Okay, it's not like I mean. And
he and I both agreed we're about the same age.
I'm a little bit older than him by a couple
of months. And we sat down for lunch. We get
we see each other maybe once or twice a year, okay, okay,
and we'll try to catch up. And so we were
doing full blown we're here for the long haul. I

(54:44):
don't have to be anywhere, you don't have to be anywhere.
We're talking to or done. And the first thing that
we addressed, because he said, and I agree, he said,
you realize that up to sixty, I think we're able
to make a case that we're not getting older. He goes,
there's no there's no painting sixty. He goes, I mean,
if you're sixty, you're an older man.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
Okay. And we both had to just deal with that
and we just sat there a minute. We just resonated.
We pictured ourselves when we were young people who said
they were sixty and how it felt.

Speaker 13 (55:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (55:15):
But anyway, so this this happened, and I wasn't going
to bring it up because I think that it was
all coming from a good place.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
But it started kind of get in my head a
little bit.

Speaker 6 (55:24):
So anytime you go somewhere you know, and you're greeted
by the host of the event, it's always a great
thing to get.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
To know them. And we talked.

Speaker 6 (55:32):
So I'm walking in with the senior pastor at park
Place in Pearl, Misissippi, and he said, if you want
to after we have something to eat, if you want
to take some time to go over your notes, pray,
just have some quiet time, you can use my office.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
That's pretty common, that's not abnormal. Okay.

Speaker 6 (55:51):
So the minute we went to his office, he turned
down a couple of steps. He said, now watch the
steps now. And I didn't think think about it.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
Watch step.

Speaker 6 (56:01):
There was nothing there because I thought, maybe these are
precarious steps on the drive get you. Maybe they've knocked
some people down. I didn't think anything about it. Okay, kid,
you not. We go all right, So let's go in
here for the mic check. Okay, come into the sanctuary.
You look around. Here's your headset, I have to. I
always ask for two ears if it's possible. I'd rather

(56:22):
have a handheld mike. If you don't have two ears
on the headset, these one ear headsets, I wrestle those
like there's some kind of animal attack in my head.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
I can't keep them on.

Speaker 6 (56:31):
Yeah, and so anyway, if it's not two ears, I'd
just rather have a handheld or I'll just stay behind
the podium. So I'm sorry the lectern on the podium
right So anyway, that guy's gonna be very proud of us.
So there's steps going up to the stage. Hey, watch
those steps right there. There's no rails. I kind of

(56:54):
looked and I was like, yes, okay, thank you. That's
two steps. Protection that's two steps that he's warned me about.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (57:00):
Then then I think, well that's got to be it. Hey,
when you go up virtue of the lectern, there's a
rug right there. Don't trip over it.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
And I was like, this guy's this real trip trip sensitive.
What's going on? He worries about it by tripping. Well,
there's two things, three warnings. Yeah, I mean, am I
does he see me as like a.

Speaker 8 (57:25):
Dramatic lights on stage?

Speaker 2 (57:27):
No, I think I think I can maneuver these steps
in this rug.

Speaker 7 (57:30):
I really do like there's one of two things. And
you alluded to it, the the the warning because he's
worried that that's kind of it. It could be though, Hey,
these have given us fits before, and it's easy to
misive or fall, you know, So just a heads up
because it's either that or you look like you could fall.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
Yeah, it's one of the two. You may have just
been having one of them days. It's one of two.

Speaker 7 (57:53):
I mean, it could be that maybe the rug has
given people fits. And he's like, hey, you know, and
both steps and the steps, I'm not worried. I don't
know about the steps. Watch your step.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Yeah. He literally said, there's no rail, there's just three
steps up to the stage. Just all it is. Did
you not have your legs under you after the long drive?

Speaker 12 (58:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (58:12):
You know, when you get out of the gates. I
think your gate is a little misleading.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
Somebody taxations, I think you walk. Somebody who text Nation says,
I walk like there's rocks in my shoes. There you go.

Speaker 9 (58:27):
Yeahh I think your walk is a little misleading. It
looks like you I have a struggle, but you're strong. Yeah,
you just don't walk good, right, Okay, that's from strong
as you just don't walk like it. Yeah, you don't
walk like So would you give me a warning?

Speaker 2 (58:43):
Would you say? How old is the singer pastor? He's
probably I don't know, he like he was probably in
his forties. Oh yeah, he was concerned. He thought you
were going, oh he's just being at yellower.

Speaker 6 (58:57):
Maybe maybe fifties, I don't know. He had he had
great hair, Like did he have any problem of the stairs?
He did not, And and and it's like I was
people like well, and I'm like, you know what it
felt like, you know how sometimes you like we all
have these people that we remember when they were younger
and they're still speaking, and you're bringing them back. You're like, hey,

(59:19):
this is a guy there because I no longer considered
the Hey you know this, you've heard of this guy.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
Now, it's like is he still alive?

Speaker 23 (59:25):
You know?

Speaker 6 (59:26):
And and so and so it's almost like you know,
you bring them in, but you think, hey, they've been
around a while. We need to we need to escore
him to the up there, to the elector. And you
know this just let's be sure they're steady.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
I was like, I'll still move around the stage and
all that. I'm good. So he wasn't your age?

Speaker 9 (59:44):
No, Okay, that's different because I was thinking if he
if he was, you know, when you're speaking and sometimes
there's like you know, the glow and the dark tape
and a guy who even have like a flashlight on
the ground, like pointing at the steps, which I re
shape that guy.

Speaker 8 (01:00:01):
You know, I've had that guy before playing drum gigs
and stuff like that. Was that kind of us.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
We're not turning the lights off every steps we approached.

Speaker 6 (01:00:12):
He warned me about them. Everyone watch you steps looked
a little unstable that. Hey watch that, Matt.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
I can pick my feet. I think I can get
over a mat.

Speaker 9 (01:00:20):
You need to probably start saying like I got a
bad ankle, but I still work out everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
Okay, let me ask your question people that are you
dragging your feet or are you picking them up? Because
that could be another thing. He might say, Hey, we
got a dragger.

Speaker 13 (01:00:33):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 7 (01:00:34):
You're not picking Yeah, that might be he thought, maybe
you're dragon workout and stuff.

Speaker 8 (01:00:40):
Yeah, I know you need to tell people that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
And the workout includes like box steps and things of
this nature.

Speaker 8 (01:00:47):
Walk around for us real quick. Let us check your walk, Yeah, I.

Speaker 6 (01:00:50):
Mean walking like I think it's having a bad walk
from the drive and sitting down to them almost the break.

Speaker 7 (01:00:58):
I just want to see if you maybe maybe you're
not picking your toes up and he felt like you
were going to drag it on that rug.

Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
That's probably it. Yeah, oh yeah, no for a while, Oh,
I didn't know you drug your foot. Well that I thought, apologist.
Then I did tell you that. Yeah, yeah, a that
that fooks dead. I mean it's pretty dead. Watch that road.

Speaker 8 (01:01:17):
Hey, hey, there's there is a thing right there straight.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
Up there is about that you stopped before. I was worried.
May we get their dolls?

Speaker 19 (01:01:28):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
Yeah, you had a doll where you're at? Now I
realize I got to add to the things to consider.
And when I come to speak, be sure there's no
treacherous stamps.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):

the Rain. It's the new book by Rick Burgess, available

(01:03:48):
show dot com under sponsors. Okay, we're gonna walk back today.
Of course, keep in mind it's it's Monday if you're
catching this live. So there's been a couple of times
that we've talked about a topic then realize we left
something out or we found out new information. So we
mentioned we mentioned l s U won the men's college
Baseball World Series. Congratulations Tigers coaster of Carolina who was

(01:04:10):
kind of a darling of the series. Outstanding baseball team.
Their coach was tossed. Was that game too, you said,
uh he at the press conference. We now have it
because those of you that haven't seen it, and I
had not seen it, uh until until we got to
work today. One of the umps falls backward, and he

(01:04:32):
makes it look like the coach may have put a
shoulder into him or something, but that's not the case.
And so the coach is saying, I'm going to own
what happened to me if these things are true, but
I am not going to own this guy falling.

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
And he explains all that.

Speaker 12 (01:04:49):
So is this you?

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:04:52):
And this is the press confer I need anything over
here from Adler? He he's just rolling b roll. But
the coach was asked, Okay, what happened from your perspective?

Speaker 24 (01:05:02):
No, would be an eleven point seven coach, the twenty
eighth pitch of the first inning?

Speaker 17 (01:05:09):
Were you warned prior to it?

Speaker 24 (01:05:11):
And then I know the homeplate umpire kind of turned
his back and walked away. Were any words shared from
him to you afterwards?

Speaker 10 (01:05:21):
There's twenty five thousand people there, and I vaguely hear
a warning issued as the head coach, and I was
assistant for twenty four years, and as an assistant, you're
almost treated like a second grade, second level citizen, and
you can't say a word. Now as a head coach,

(01:05:43):
I think it is your right to get an explanation
of why we got warned. And I'm forty eight years old.
I shouldn't get showed by another grown man, right, So
when I come out to ask what the warning is,
a grown man showed me. So at that point I
can now hear him say it was a warning issued

(01:06:07):
for arguing balls and strikes. And at that point I said,
because you missed three. At that point ejected. If that
warrants an ejection, I'm the first one to stand here
like a man and apologize two words that the fine

(01:06:28):
Art program.

Speaker 17 (01:06:29):
Or own it. And what does that mean is you
have to own You have to own everything that you do.

Speaker 10 (01:06:41):
Without blame, without defending yourself, without excuses. If you guys
watched the video, there was a guy that came in
extremely aggressively tripped over the can't post his foot, embarrassed
in front of twenty five thousand, immediately goes two game

(01:07:05):
suspension and said bumping the umpire.

Speaker 17 (01:07:10):
Immediately does that there was no bump. He was embarrassed.

Speaker 10 (01:07:15):
I shouldn't be held accountable for a grown man's athleticism.
We'll retract it though, because now it's excessive. And the
reason why it was excessive because I was trying to
say I didn't bump him.

Speaker 22 (01:07:32):
It is what it is.

Speaker 10 (01:07:33):
But if that warranted an ejection, man, there'd be a
lot of ejections. As an umpire, I feel like it's
your job to manage the game, the National championship game,
with some poise, some calmness.

Speaker 17 (01:07:49):
And a little bit of tolerance.

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
Yeah. I can't be held responsible for his athletic ability.

Speaker 9 (01:07:59):
Yeah, he did come in hot, he did, and then
he just kind of fell backwards over his own feet.

Speaker 7 (01:08:04):
It looks like, yeah, see, uh, I think the umpire
the other the other umpire's foot he tripped over, and.

Speaker 6 (01:08:10):
He tried to get in between the behind the plate
up and the coach. And then and then he tripped
over the other umpire's foot.

Speaker 13 (01:08:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
Yeah, and but and then, like a drama queen tried
to claim.

Speaker 6 (01:08:22):
He was shoved or pushed what by the are bumped
by the head coach and the head coaches.

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
I did not bump him. He just fell over somebody's
feet and he got embarrassed and he tried to blame
me for his lack of athletic ability. Yeah, that's hilarious.

Speaker 7 (01:08:37):
But Coastal had quite a run. I think they had
won twenty six twenty seven in a row. I can't
remember the number. And then LSU swept him in the
in the final championship series. So congratulations to LSU.

Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:08:48):
As you see when he was arguing with them and
you're looking at the stands behind him, the LSU fans
are doing.

Speaker 8 (01:08:53):
This, what's that guy?

Speaker 5 (01:09:03):
Where we go?

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
Here's hay bird. Hay Bird just comes from Zach.

Speaker 22 (01:09:12):
Zach.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
I think you're all right?

Speaker 22 (01:09:13):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
I think you're good man.

Speaker 6 (01:09:16):
I guess this happened with us discussing when you guys
gave me You've been so supportive lately. You gave me
a hard time about checking on, you know, a friend
of mine to be sure it's car cranked, and now
it's got a man. It seems to have launched me
in everywhere, wondering, wandering us to make rulings on whether
something was gay or not. Okay, So so here's Zach

(01:09:37):
and I don't this is new. I've never heard of this.
Hey bird, Hey bird, Hey Zach. A bit of a
dilemma here. Love milkshakes. You guys are talking about National
Milkshake Day. I love I love milkshakes. I usually get
one from Chick fil a Every summer they offer a
peach flavored milkshake. I've thought about trying it several times.
That one thing has always stopped me. I can't shake

(01:09:59):
the feeling that it would be little gayete. Growing up,
the only people I knew who drink the peach milkshake
were women, So maybe I have a skewed perspective. So
would it be gay for a grown up man to
drink a peach milkshake? Or am I safe to try it?
I love to get your guys opinion, especially Greggs, since
he seems to be a gay expert.

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
Wait, I'm not sure what that means. Well, you're not
sure what that means.

Speaker 6 (01:10:22):
They're just saying that you can make a call or something,
because you said that about my breakfast the first month
of the show.

Speaker 2 (01:10:28):
Yeah, yeah, so that he's just saying, you make a call.

Speaker 6 (01:10:31):
I've never heard the peach milkshake tied to lack of
masculine I will.

Yes, yes, yes, when somebody wins a thousand bucks, Henry
the horse comes out without a shirt on and does

sudden Greg was headed off to ConA Ice.

Speaker 9 (01:20:48):
And yeah, Speedy, you're in that world where you're just
you're just trying to help them learn how to do everything.

Speaker 8 (01:20:55):
But they're so bad at everything.

Speaker 9 (01:20:58):
It's like, oh my goodness, and every everything you watch
them carry is just like it right on the edge
of spilling and disaster.

Speaker 8 (01:21:05):
At every moment. But you gotta let him do it
otherwise they'll never learn to do it. It's very stressful,
the whole experience, right right.

Speaker 2 (01:21:12):
You know, And I know, I know you gotta have
a lid on it first.

Speaker 7 (01:21:15):
But again, I was trying to teach him and you

the program to send all of us subtle messages. Have
you ever noticed that by the stories he pigs and
the things he lays down? Yeah, you know, you remember
back in the Rick and Bubby years, Bubba would point
out how many stories Speed would lay in front of
us about being overweighted and things like that.

Speaker 8 (01:23:28):
I can't help the news of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:23:29):
I'm just.

Speaker 8 (01:23:32):
You can't help the news of the day.

Speaker 12 (01:23:34):
No, I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:23:36):
But this one. I'm going to read the headline the
way he intended it.

Speaker 6 (01:23:39):
Greg, Okay, Papa has to make changes to reverse type
two diabetes diagnoses. It might he doesn't say it, says
Grandfather's simple changes reverse pre diabetes diagnosis that left him petrified.

Speaker 2 (01:23:54):
But but what he means for it to say is
Papa needs to make some changes.

Speaker 19 (01:23:58):
That's what.

Speaker 2 (01:23:58):
That's what. That's what. That's not what I mean, Yeah,
not what I mean. This is what he means by this.
I think of myself too.

Speaker 8 (01:24:07):
You're communicating through headlines seven.

Speaker 2 (01:24:09):
I don't have the sugar. I still will try to
do better. A sixty six year old grandfather who exercised daily.

Speaker 6 (01:24:15):
Yeah, said he had some exercise he had heard about
that he was using called thirty ten Yeah, yeah, thirty
ten ten.

Speaker 2 (01:24:22):
He said he was getting ready for the crap run
he did. Man, he learned he was pre diabetic, and
he could not believe it, he said, Greg, like you,
he's a dance teacher. Yes, people don't know that, right,
he said, five feet ten inches and only weigh one
hundred and sixty seven pounds. Not bad, he said, I

(01:24:43):
wore a medium sized shirt. Greg. He danced like you
seven times a week.

Speaker 6 (01:24:48):
He's to dance, and he didn't think twice about his
daily snacks a chocolate bar and a bag of chips.
But oh, not so fast, he said, I honestly thought
I was fit. And healthy diagnosis shocked me. Yeah, and
petrified him something that has not happened with you yet.
And he said he had a weakness for fretterers in there. Yeah,

(01:25:12):
he put the fritter up by the way. Don't think
this didn't come up yesterday with my visit with mom.
What Greg seems to be eating to me? Of them fritters?

Speaker 2 (01:25:20):
Oh? Because he fritters every day? No, I said, no,
just Tuesdays and Friday. He ever left over right, And
I don't think Greg, guess guess what your fellow grandfather
had to do? Said? I had to change way I
was eating.

Speaker 6 (01:25:37):
He said, you know what I found out is I
was a five foot ten, one hundred and sixty seven
pounds unhealthy person.

Speaker 2 (01:25:43):
Yea and a medium shirt. Medium shirt, okay, walked around
looking healthy. But he what he said, I had to
I had to cut out my nightly so every day
chocolate bar and chips, and I started eating whole New
treecious foods and began chewing my food much slower. This

(01:26:04):
is this was interesting fast.

Speaker 7 (01:26:06):
Do you Burgess boys if to the point is you
all ever have lunch with either of the Burgess boys,
just a heads up, you better get you better hurry up,
or they're going to be done watching you eat.

Speaker 8 (01:26:18):
Be eating by yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
I don't know why, but eating last night and let
it goes. What is wrong with you? Why aren't you?
Of course she's the other way, she said too slow?
Oh yeah, come on, he said, he slowed down.

Speaker 9 (01:26:30):
And then that's called normal, that's called normal eating, my goodness,
it's not a race.

Speaker 2 (01:26:37):
No, oh, my goodness, he said. It takes him to
eat a chicken sandwich, now takes him forty minutes. That
lord chew your face.

Speaker 8 (01:26:47):
Health is chewing your food tied to hell.

Speaker 6 (01:26:49):
He's saying, you won't you won't eat as much because
if you eat fast, you don't realize you're full.

Speaker 7 (01:26:56):
Greg, Harry will get back get on me about that.
When I go back for seconds, She's like, hang on,
give it a minute. You don't even know you're full yet.

Speaker 20 (01:27:03):
Greg.

Speaker 6 (01:27:03):
Look what he says right here, He said, I know
some people would call my I mean some people I
don't want to mention their names, would call my breakfast gay.
But now but now it consists of fruit uh and
uh and and some uh some granola with almond milk.

Speaker 2 (01:27:17):
No, I don't say that.

Speaker 6 (01:27:18):
And then it says, A typical dinner is boiled eggs,
roasted peanuts. Have an update, you have an update for you? Celery, cherry, tomatoes, carrots.
Don't like tomato and a cucumber. I like cucumbers, carrots
and uh not the tomato.

Speaker 2 (01:27:34):
What was the other thing? He said, Greg Salerie celery.
I eat celery, he said.

Speaker 6 (01:27:39):
I know some I know some people like me and
it that think they can out exercise bad eating. I'm
here to tell them you can't.

Speaker 2 (01:27:45):
Yeah that too, what is y'all said?

Speaker 6 (01:27:47):
As a matter of fact, some people referred to me
as a diabetes daredevil, and I finally just make.

Speaker 8 (01:27:52):
It so, yeah, he's just seeing stuff that we said.

Speaker 2 (01:27:54):
I wish that was right. Check.

Speaker 7 (01:27:56):
I will say this, I do have a weakness for chips.
I'll eat some chips, I'll go home and I'll get
some freedom. My daily routine is I'll make a sandwich
at home for like a late lunch or whatever, and
and I'm good there, okay, but then I get off
in them chips.

Speaker 2 (01:28:11):
Watch them chips. That's it about. I cut a chip
deal with trender Shan. How about? He said?

Speaker 6 (01:28:17):
I like everything on the on What you're eating? Why
you keep eating these chips with a sandwich, I said,
because a sandwich can't be eaten without chips.

Speaker 8 (01:28:24):
Sho chips and a sandwich.

Speaker 6 (01:28:27):
And I try to deal with him, I said, can
I just tell you that, as long as you know me,
I'm going to eat them chips with a sandwich.

Speaker 21 (01:28:35):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (01:28:35):
Because he said those bags are small, he said, I said,
I'll use the I'll use the hundred calorie bag, which
means I just say, a hundred hundred bad calories.

Speaker 7 (01:28:43):
But at least it's just a hundred. Yeah, And that's
the problem with me. I don't go I'm in the
large bags. I don't know how much I've.

really wants to bring them, he can.

Speaker 6 (01:29:49):
You know one thing, Greg that people that's just as
bad as treating somebody like they're your peanut provider, is
being a liar. I mean, you know you want you
can't wait now use the negative about the ones I
brought to you from another place.

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):
Yeah, okay, so you know what you know what's sad
is that you needed an update. Why aren't you chicking
on Don? Listen? I asked him.

Speaker 6 (01:30:09):
Don't y'all ain't like that I've asked Don to make
these peanuts. There's other guys in the class that he
makes them four to right, But Greg, you don't they
don't ask every Thursday Don date come. But if he
goes two bass, go ahead and make both of them do.

Speaker 2 (01:30:22):
Yeah, you know what I liked you don't bring the meeting.

Speaker 6 (01:30:25):
This is what I like you seeing Greg say instead
of did Don bring in you peanuts? How's Don doing?

Speaker 21 (01:30:31):
I said that.

Speaker 2 (01:30:34):
I was getting to it. I saw him yesteager, he
looked healthy. He's back in the lineuiding from peanuts, and
he stood. He stood there, kind of resolute because there's
got to be a little bit of freedom of not
having to bring him. Now he don't have to bring
but if he does, make both of them dark.

Speaker 6 (01:30:54):
Unscreen phone calls coming up next eight eight eight six,

There's five episodes to the phones. We go remember on
unscreen phone calls. This is our preferred way. It seems

all seem to like this format better. You get screened
on the fly. If you hear ringing, don't worry about

(01:32:12):
that that this means you're in line, ready to go. Okay, Hello,
You're on the Rick Burgess Show, unscreen phone calls.

Speaker 2 (01:32:18):
Go ahead, go ahead, Hey, Eric.

Speaker 13 (01:32:22):
I listened to the audio.

Speaker 16 (01:32:24):
Book of Men Don't Run in the Rain. I really
really enjoyed that.

Speaker 13 (01:32:30):
While I was listening to it, I couldn't help.

Speaker 25 (01:32:32):
But imagine all the scenarios that you that you had going.

Speaker 13 (01:32:37):
And I couldn't help but think of it making like
a movie. Who do you think could play? If he could?

Speaker 8 (01:32:45):
Who do you think could play?

Speaker 6 (01:32:47):
As you're doing so, man, if you think about actors,
I wish I could access those that are not here anymore,
because some of those would really be great. So probably
I'd love to see Tommy Lee Jones play Dad, But
I think he might be too he might be too
old now from that, but when he wasn't Robert de Naro.

Speaker 2 (01:33:09):
No, uh what uh who.

Speaker 6 (01:33:13):
Yeah, Robert Deval. I'd rather have devolved than there. I like,
I can't get past the Narrow's politics right now. Yeah yeah,
so so yeah, so that that would do. But yeah,
I think Robert Duval, Timmy Lee Jones, both of those
would be great.

Speaker 2 (01:33:23):
Yeah. And I'm trying to think Gene Hackman or no yeah,
oh yeah yeah, when Gene Hackman was was that that
would actually be a real good that would be yeah.
So that so all those kind of come to mind
just just right out of the gate. So those would
be great ones. And look, I'm not trying to say anything,
but uh, the Irwin brothers asked for a copy of

(01:33:44):
the book. All right, we continue, uh unscreened phone calls.

Speaker 16 (01:33:51):
Go ahead, morning, Rick, it is Chris calling from Florence.
How's it going.

Speaker 2 (01:33:56):
I hope you're will doing well.

Speaker 12 (01:33:59):
Rick.

Speaker 16 (01:33:59):
I just wanted to say I'm enjoying the book man.
My wife got it for me for Father's Day, and
uh just wanted to say you guys, thank you guys
so much for sharing Coach with us. And I would
have loved to have played for a guy like coach,
just just the way he loved his players and the
way he loved you guys, and even though he had
some funny quirks. But one of my questions was the

(01:34:21):
counts that you guys had to sit down on after
he went to the banquet to go speak you guys.
You guys seriously did not move the whole time.

Speaker 13 (01:34:30):
That he was gone.

Speaker 2 (01:34:32):
We were too terrified to get him. What if he
turn around came back? Yeah, I have life through sixty
did y'all?

Speaker 14 (01:34:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:34:40):
Now, we didn't look when when when Bill Burgess or
Ganelle Burgess for that matter, said sit right there and
don't move till I come back.

Speaker 2 (01:34:48):
You didn't move.

Speaker 6 (01:34:50):
Now, I can't remember if we made it all the
way to bedtime and maybe just went on to bed.
I don't remember, but I know that either the next
day or that night, we got the finishing speech of
how done what we did?

Speaker 2 (01:35:00):
And it was dumb, you know what I mean? Yeah,
Rick said in the Woods on fire is not smart. No,
it's not so.

Speaker 6 (01:35:06):
No, it was a strange concept in those days. That's
we talked about this before. Back on the Rick and
Bubba Show. My dad's hunting guns were on a gun
wrecked right above the very couch we were sitting on
and we never touched them. Strange concept because our dad
told us not to. Yeah, what a concept. Whatever he
told us not to do or not to put our

(01:35:28):
hands on or not to fool with, we didn't normally. Yeah,
I mean, now does that mean that we did everything?
But but I mean, but if there was an order
or something like that, that was simple. But now there
was some things we interpreted probably loosely. Yeah, right, Uh
we continue and it was pointed out. Yes, unscreen phone calls,

(01:35:48):
you're on the Rick Birders show, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:35:52):

They're like, do you feel safe? And I said, not anymore.
I said, I said, when I go to the show
and talk to people, I don't feel safe. I said,
we should all be gravely concerned about the society we
live in.

Speaker 9 (01:39:50):
Bravely, at seven thirty am on a Monday, we bombed Iran.

Speaker 8 (01:39:57):
And people call it.

Speaker 2 (01:40:03):
Let me say, we don't have to tear this audience.
The only things were you too much. We'll be right
back to stay close.

Speaker 1 (01:40:13):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. Go ahead, Sure, we

(01:40:38):
played a little ball.

Speaker 8 (01:40:40):
Rick Burgess, glad to be with you again.

Speaker 2 (01:40:43):
Today we started another day together.

Speaker 6 (01:40:48):
We got another week. David Nasher coming up next hour.
We'll get that's when we're kind of dive in a
little more into the Iran matter of fact. Next segment,
maybe set it up. We'll cover some of that. No
Addler's got a numb of videos and things like that.
We mentioned it back early in the program, but we'll
unpack it in great to tell the bombing that happened
over the weekend.

Speaker 26 (01:41:08):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:41:08):
We had a couple of stories develop over the weekend
that were you know, concerning Uh that's how we had
another church shooting, an attack on a church, you know.
And of course once again people talking about these security
individuals we now are you know, hiring for schools and
hiring for church as well. I think you saw this weekend.

(01:41:31):
I was telling the guys, I remember when a security
person interacting with a security security person at a church
was so abnormal.

Speaker 2 (01:41:38):
Now it's just it's standard.

Speaker 6 (01:41:40):
Oh you know, okay, all right, So I wanted to
here's our here's our you know, our security person. He's
gonna tell you about security detail. We're going to talk
about what to do with an active shooter. That's that's
part of the routine now. Yeah, and you see why
because it was the security person that ultimately shot and
killed this person who had decided to ram their vehicle
into the church and then then start to shoot.

Speaker 2 (01:42:00):
And so that's.

Speaker 6 (01:42:02):
Unfortunately, that's the time that we're living in. So on
a much more light note, uh, I do want to
point you to Shopmando dot com boy. If y'all notice
how these products are just starting to just kind of
swamp to us. And I think it has a lot
to do with some of the new handy commitment I've had.

I mean, it's like you're I'm disgusted, but we want

Oh that's what's his name? We could hold on van Halen, Yes, yes,

(01:44:21):
there you go.

Speaker 6 (01:44:21):
Eddie Eddie uh right here, last right here, last name Eddie,
last name Adler, Eddie van Adler, Eddie van Roth, Eddie Roth,
Eddie van Roth, Eddie Eddie Roth, Eddie Van Why do
you keep looking at.

Speaker 13 (01:44:37):
Me like that.

Speaker 2 (01:44:38):
You're not right. It's just the name of the band.

Speaker 23 (01:44:42):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (01:44:43):
There, it is the way to land that plane that
we came in rickety. We came in rickety.

Speaker 14 (01:44:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:44:53):
So, in fact, I knew his death's named.

Speaker 6 (01:44:56):
Got a little free time over the weekend. Sherry was
not home for part of the weekend. Uh So it
was kind of like, uh, well, let's I got the
place to myself, and uh so, I uh settled in
and said, I'm gonna jump around see if I can
find something.

Speaker 2 (01:45:12):
I'd like to watch. And I love documentaries.

Speaker 6 (01:45:15):
I I'd rather watch a documentary than really the most
of anything if it's on the right topic. So I
kicked around a little bit, tried some sports things, none
but really developed. And then I found I can't even
remember what app it was. I found some of the
behind the music documentary. Well, there was a lot of

(01:45:35):
old ones, but I spotted one night I do not
know how new it is, and it was on Wolfgang
van Halen, Okay, And I thought to myself, that's the
son of Eddie van Halen or his speedy calls him
Eddie van Roth, and I wanted, I wanted to, I want,
I wanted to jump in. And I will tell you,
you know, Wolfgang not as lean as his daddy.

Speaker 2 (01:45:57):
No, he's not. And he's he's he's a heavy and
the wolf Ate a whole gang of wolves, all right,
crazy talented, so talent, crazy talented. He plays all the instruments,
and so you got to jump in to the whole
relationship between him and his dad. And it's good. It's

(01:46:20):
really good. Okay, I mean, and I can't wait to
see this.

Speaker 6 (01:46:24):
Okay, Sweedy, you don't have to, you know, Greg, I
honestly think it's possible that might have been paramount.

Speaker 2 (01:46:34):
Can I ask y'all question, how do you watch that
or not know what it's on? It just happened, Speedy.
We're standing around, we're clicking here, clicking there.

Speaker 9 (01:46:41):
I get that because there's a lot of times on
that main menu it'll take you too straight to the thing,
and I don't have to go to the app to
get to that.

Speaker 2 (01:46:49):
That's what's made it weird.

Speaker 6 (01:46:50):
You can just be on like Apple, that's all of
a sudden, they'll give you the documentary and you'll look
at later and go that was a paramount thing they
threw up there.

Speaker 2 (01:46:58):
Yes, it gets a little confusing, Yes, but it is paramount.
By the way, okay, mount plus. Yes, by the way,
I did fix I did fix the remotes. Fix those
over the weekend. You fixed it or you put batteries
in them. I fixed them.

Speaker 6 (01:47:14):
I found out that there was a particular in the rack.
I looked at the rack and began to reset things,
and I found one apparently it was tied to the remotes,
some sort of thing that was interacting with the remote,
some sort of thing there, power thing, And so I

(01:47:36):
just went through their resetting everything, and apparently I found
the one they were tied to and reset it and
then fixed it.

Speaker 2 (01:47:44):
I unplugged it, plugged it back up. Let me gees,
you had to walk around the house and tell everybody
about I was there, so I just had to like
announce it to.

Speaker 8 (01:47:53):
So you did that on your own, nobody was even there.

Speaker 2 (01:47:57):
Wow, that's impressive. But fixed the grill this weekend as well.
You fix the grill lit it? How do you what
do you mean you fixed the grill handle a little loose?
Oh go, Phillips said, righty, righty, righty, righty, righty, righty, righty, righty, righty, righty.

Speaker 12 (01:48:13):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (01:48:15):
That's not fixing the grill.

Speaker 8 (01:48:17):
But anyway, that's the closest thing to repairing something I
have heard.

Speaker 9 (01:48:20):
I think yeah, because he just turned on and turned
off the deck that he was talking about. That he
the little power deck thing that he taught.

Speaker 6 (01:48:29):
The grill handle was precarious because the way those those
bolts are up in there, you can't even see them.

Speaker 2 (01:48:36):
So you have to take the the the the Phillips head.
Lobby don't know that that's there's different types of screwdrivers,
and you take the other one.

Speaker 6 (01:48:43):
You take the it's a it's a flatter head, and
so you take the you take the flat, you take
the Phillips, you take the Phillips head up in there,
and you got to find that boat. You can't just
see it because the way the grill is and I'm
in there and I'm like, i think I've got it
right right right rightck and and you feel it. You
always want to hold this see if you can Philip
tightening righty ready ready right, I think that did ready

(01:49:05):
ready right rater and you can't even see up in there,
and did it on both sides right and left. It's
secure now secure.

Speaker 2 (01:49:14):
Now that's good.

Speaker 6 (01:49:16):
Still haven't found out how birds are getting in the
camp house, but it won't be long till I figure
that out too. So anyway, they go into on this documentary.
You know, first of all, I realized that Wolfgang van
Halen is really really talented.

Speaker 2 (01:49:30):
Yeah, I mean he can do play anything.

Speaker 6 (01:49:33):
Noticed that quick and and he also took he he said,
he talked about how it is in this weird world.
He's like, there were actually people claiming that when he
played bass with the reunion of Van Halen with Speedy's
favorite singer Roth They he said, people are like putting
on social media that I wouldn't really play in you're

(01:49:54):
a NEPO baby. And he's like, I mean we are
talking about and he's like, so I felt like I
had to like do my own thing mammoth put out
my own music.

Speaker 2 (01:50:03):
And his music's really it's it's interesting. Yeah, it's really good.

Speaker 8 (01:50:08):
I should give him more.

Speaker 2 (01:50:09):
I should I should, I should give him more.

Speaker 6 (01:50:12):
I didn't realize what a big moment it was when
they did the I can't think of the guy's name, Speedy.
Of course you'll know it. Uh, the food Fighters, the
guy who died, the blondheaded one.

Speaker 2 (01:50:26):
Yeah, Taylor.

Speaker 6 (01:50:27):
Taylor didn't know when they did the tribute to him,
you know, he said, I was not going to play
any van Halen ever again, he said, because I didn't
want everybody to say, oh, I'm out, You're not really
playing that. He said, you know, even with my band,
when I could go out there and play Panama, I
could do all that, but I'm not gonna do that,
so he said. And then when he got the call

(01:50:48):
to come to that tribute and David Hey say his
last name Grol, he said, when he told me to come,
would you come and play some van Halen? Because Taylor
loved van Halen. He said I did. And he said,
but goost to think how nerve racking that was because
he was going to play all the riffs on Hot
for Teacher, which are very complicated, and he shredded it.

(01:51:11):
And he said, I kept feel I felt like in
that moment, I proved everybody, Yes, I could play wanted
the licks that my dad played if I wanted to,
and I do have talent.

Speaker 2 (01:51:21):
I'm not you know, some kind of charity case. And
he was talking how nervous he was because he says,
if I go out and mess this up, then all
across social media and everywhere it's gonna be oh see,
he can't play Uh, he messed it up.

Speaker 7 (01:51:33):
He didn't play it right, and he came out there
and is that where the saying that comes from? You
can't uh, he can't play a lick?

Speaker 2 (01:51:40):
Now that's been around a long time. Yeah, but I mean,
just it's a lick, that's right.

Speaker 7 (01:51:44):
But can't play a lickt right? And when you wheard
that idiom come from, it's it's it's you know, it's it's.

Speaker 2 (01:51:50):
Like a lick is like a riff, right, So hey,
you can't play a lick, that's right. Yeah, that's what
I was thinking.

Speaker 8 (01:51:57):
So, well, look at him that. I wish there are
some people there.

Speaker 2 (01:52:00):
My goodness. Can he sing too?

Speaker 1 (01:52:03):
Can can?

Speaker 6 (01:52:04):
He's not a bad singer, you know, I'm gonna teach
you up. Wish they got a different singer there was.
I know this guy, but I didn't like it so anyway,
so that I would say, that's a sort of updated
behind the music.

Speaker 8 (01:52:21):
I've not seen that one.

Speaker 2 (01:52:23):
We'll be back, thank you speeding. See that was great. Yeah,
I mean I was all in you really, you really did.

Speaker 1 (01:52:30):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, the men who removed
the phrase what's you know? Good? From society? Rick Burches, All.

Speaker 6 (01:52:53):
Right, America, we'll talk to Nasser coming up next hour,
David Nasher Well kind of for those of you that
may not know David in his story, we'll recap that
for you with David, and then we'll jump into this.
So let's let's talk a little bit about what's going on.
I know, after you've got multiple videos and we can
come out of this anytime we need to. But so

(01:53:14):
over the weekend, we know that we we launched a
bombing expedition to Iran. It's incredible to watch these b
two bombers leave Missouri.

Speaker 3 (01:53:27):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:53:27):
We all the all that it took to make it
was it seven thousand something miles UH to these targets
UH in Iran, drop these uh bunker busters and then
get all the way back to Missouri uh and didn't
lose anybody.

Speaker 2 (01:53:45):
I don't even think a shot was fired. And all
the people then that that.

Speaker 6 (01:53:50):
Went through this, and then we launched, you know, these
other missiles from submarines that were four hundred miles away.
Just incredible force and also preciseness and technology that is
mind boggling. You know, just what it takes to refuel
you know, one in the air is amazing. To keep

(01:54:13):
on track, As you said, they didn't talk a whole
lot at all because you know, they wanted to go
in undetected.

Speaker 2 (01:54:20):
Uh, And they did so, So why don't we go
to three here?

Speaker 1 (01:54:25):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (01:54:26):
I think that that's a good one to start with
based on what we just said. Here's Pete heg Seth
and he's he's he's talking about what Iran must be
thinking after they realized how this was done here.

Speaker 20 (01:54:39):
It is of almost any American if you had an
opportunity to watch it in real time. And I think
Tran is certainly calculating the reality that planes flew from
the middle of America and Missouri overnight completely undetected over
three of their most highly sensitive sites, and we were
able to destroy nuclear capabilities, and our boys in those

(01:55:01):
bombers are on their way home right now. We believe
that'll have a clear psychological impact on how they view
the future, and we certainly hope they take the path
of negotiate a peace.

Speaker 8 (01:55:10):
But I could not be more proud.

Speaker 2 (01:55:13):
Yeah, it really was an incredible feat by military. Jd
Vance Video. Two.

Speaker 6 (01:55:19):
Adder does want to make it clear, and you hear
this a lot, that we are not at war with Iran,
But let me tell you what exactly we are doing.

Speaker 2 (01:55:27):
So here's Vice President JD. Vance.

Speaker 8 (01:55:29):
And the second thing is Kristin.

Speaker 27 (01:55:31):
I certainly empathize with Americans who are exhausted after twenty
five years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East.

Speaker 1 (01:55:38):
I understand the concern.

Speaker 27 (01:55:40):
But the difference is that back then we had dumb
presidents and now we have a president who actually knows
how to accomplish America's national security objectives. So this is
not going to be some long drawn out thing we've
got in. We've done the job of setting their nuclear
program back. We're going to now work to permanently dismantle
that nuclear program over the coming years.

Speaker 8 (01:56:00):
And that is what the President has set out to do.

Speaker 2 (01:56:03):
Simple So and then here here is Trump.

Speaker 6 (01:56:08):
I'm not going to play all three minutes of it,
but he is telling Iran that they have a choice
and what they want to pick right now, and he
makes it crystal clear.

Speaker 2 (01:56:19):
So here's the president.

Speaker 23 (01:56:20):
A short time ago, the US military carried out massive
precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the
Iranian regime for Doe, Natans, and Esfahan. Everybody heard those
names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise.

(01:56:44):
Our objective was the destruction of irans nuclear intrichment capacity
and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the
world's number one state sponsor of terror.

Speaker 21 (01:56:56):
Tonight, I can report to the world that the.

Speaker 23 (01:56:58):
Strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear and
Richmond facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Rand the
bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If
they do not, future attacks will be far greater and
a lot easier. For forty years, Iran has been saying

(01:57:21):
death to America, death to Israel. They have been killing
our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs.

Speaker 21 (01:57:28):
With roadside bombs, that was their specialty.

Speaker 23 (01:57:32):
We lost over a thousand people, and hundreds of thousands
throughout the Middle East and around the world have died.

Speaker 21 (01:57:39):
As a direct result of their hate.

Speaker 23 (01:57:40):
In particular, so many were killed by their general Cassem SOLMANI.

Speaker 21 (01:57:47):
I decided a long time ago that I would not
let this happen. It will not continue.

Speaker 23 (01:57:53):
I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.
We worked as a team like perhaps no team has
ever worked before, and we've gone a long way to
erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to thank
the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done. And
most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots

(01:58:16):
who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the
United States military on an operation the likes of which
the world has not seen in many, many decades.

Speaker 6 (01:58:27):
So there you go, and he says, Arn, it's simple.
You can either have peace or there will be tragedy.
There'll be more of it, Adam, I think we can
get four in real quick video with good audio of
the bomber is actually taking off, and you can hear
the cockpit radio audio, which is really cool.

Speaker 8 (01:58:43):
Yeah, it's really cool. You can hear what they're listening to.

Speaker 3 (01:58:46):
Bm bom bomb, bom bomb.

Speaker 2 (01:58:58):
No, there, there you go.

Speaker 6 (01:58:59):
So so anyway, there's other things we can say about it.
But when we come back, David Nasser, who actually is Persian,
and his family escape to one of the many tyrannical
regimes that have ruled over Iran in modern time, and
we'll get to his perspective. You hear his story, and
we'll talk a little bit about where do we go

(01:59:23):
from here. You know, there's many spiritual aspects to this
as well that he can speak to, and we'll happen
with us when we come back. If you're leaving us,
don't forget to.

Speaker 2 (01:59:33):
Grab that today on the podcast or YouTube archive. You
don't want to miss that conversation.

Speaker 6 (01:59:38):
So he's in pretty high demand today as you can imagine,
and kind enough to spend some time with us, and
we'll talk with him when we come back. If you
don't know how to get the show live or archive
on your own time, you can find all that at
Rick Burgessshow dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:59:57):

Speaker 5 (02:00:13):
You better listen up, you know, like we say, as
we gotta find.

Speaker 1 (02:00:27):
Burchard Show.

Speaker 6 (02:00:33):
Thanks for being with us, America. So we we talked
last hour, and we talked earlier in the show. We're
not spending the whole show on it, but obviously the
bombing of Iran over the weekend has all of us
educating ourselves again on this long long history with Iran

(02:00:55):
and Israel and America and the West, and it's been
going on a long long time.

Speaker 13 (02:01:02):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (02:01:03):
At one time, if you go all the way back
in history, as Net and Yahoo has even referred to,
you know, Cyrus the Great, the Persian actually became an
asset for the for the Hebrew people, and uh Net
and Yahoo has longed for a return to good relations
between the Persian people and the Hebrews, and it has

(02:01:24):
been a long time since that has been the case.
David Nasher joins us. Now, David, welcome back.

Speaker 2 (02:01:30):
How are you, sir? Welcome to the rick burgership. Man.

Speaker 15 (02:01:34):
It's good to hear your voice, buddy, I know, and
I'm so.

Speaker 6 (02:01:37):
Proud of you for slowing down a little bit. And uh,
you know, you and I were discussing. You're you're involved
in so few things. Uh now, uh, you're you're like
the rest of us. I don't think we were ever
you know, God may may not, may call us to
different things, but the the concept of retirement can't really
find that in the Bible. He may move you to

(02:01:58):
a new thing, and you may not be always doing
the same thing, but we're supposed to continue to work
until he calls us home or return, so you're definitely
doing that.

Speaker 11 (02:02:06):
Yeah, man, absolutely, I want my life to count, you know.
And when God put a call of ministry on my life,
he never gave me an end date, you know, on
this side of heaven.

Speaker 15 (02:02:17):
And I'm just so honored.

Speaker 11 (02:02:19):
Honestly, I'll say this, I'm humbled and surprised that God
continues to give me just incredible assignments. And so yeah,
it's good to hear your voice.

Speaker 12 (02:02:32):
Man.

Speaker 11 (02:02:32):
I was thinking about Rick, how when I lived in Birmingham,
you were such a gift to me. You were a
friend and man, you're my accountability partner. We'd get together
for lunch and talk about big things, important things. You'd
confront me, I'd confront you, and man, what a gift
you've been in my life. And this show has always

(02:02:55):
stood for the truth and so thank Yeah, bro.

Speaker 15 (02:02:57):
It's good to be back on.

Speaker 6 (02:02:58):
Yeah, it is definitely miss you. So let's do this
for the audience and kind of do a reset.

Speaker 13 (02:03:05):
You are.

Speaker 2 (02:03:06):
You know, I introduced you as everybody's favorite Persian. You
and your family.

Speaker 6 (02:03:13):
You know about these militant regimes firsthand because in nineteen
seventy nine, I know that your dad can speak to
it when he was still with us, more than even you.
You were only nine, but it left an imprint on you.

Speaker 2 (02:03:28):
Your life.

Speaker 6 (02:03:29):
Actually came to America seeking asylum from a horrible regime
that was running around.

Speaker 2 (02:03:35):
At that time. So tell us your story for those
that may not know it.

Speaker 11 (02:03:40):
Yeah, I was born in Iran, like you said, and
in nineteen seventy nine when the Iranian Revolution happened, basically
the Islamic regime took over our country.

Speaker 15 (02:03:52):
And when that.

Speaker 11 (02:03:52):
Happened, my family and I escaped from Iran. My dad
was high rank to the military, and so our lives
were in danger. And we have actually ended up in
the United States as legal immigrants under political asylum. And
so I was a site Muslim by heritage. We weren't
really that devout, but a complete fish out of water

(02:04:13):
coming into the United States.

Speaker 2 (02:04:15):
You know.

Speaker 11 (02:04:15):
We moved to Texas to an army town during the
Iranian hostage situation. So people were watching on TV how
Ran was burning the American flag, calling America the great Satan,
how they were shouting death to America in the streets.
And here we were, this Iranian family that had moved
into a military town in Texas, you know, in.

Speaker 15 (02:04:36):
The middle of all that.

Speaker 11 (02:04:37):
So I say always that I was a wedgie waiting
to happen. You know, for years, I was just this
outcasted kid. I mean I went to school every day,
heard every nickname, every seven eleven joke, every turban joke.
I got called beanedp and I'm not even Mexican. I
was like, you're not even accurate in euracism. You know,
we'd escaped halfway across the world, honestly, come here and

(02:05:02):
come looking for refuge as refugees, but it didn't feel
like a safe place.

Speaker 15 (02:05:06):
And for years and years that was me.

Speaker 11 (02:05:08):
We eventually moved from Texas to Alabama. I went to
the Stavie Hills, by the way, and one day my dad,
feeling sorry for me, gave me an extreme makeover for
high school. And my high school years became the years
where I just learned how to wear the right label,
end up at the right lunch room table, how to
dump the right girl before she could dump me, you know,

(02:05:30):
how to climb the social ladder. And I played high
school and it's so true where it wasn't the Bible,
What good is it for a man to gain the
whole world, but to forfeit his soul because on paper
everything was so much better, but in my soul I
was just as empty as when I was a nobody,
you know, in school. And so right after high school,
one day a buddy of mine invited me to church,

(02:05:54):
and I didn't want to go to church. I told
him that I had a bad taste in my mouth
about religion and how I was Muslim by heritage, but
not even a good one. But he kept on me
about going to church, and I eventually went to church
with him, and for the next eight Monday nights in
a row, these Christians came to my house and witnessed

(02:06:15):
to me, you know, and it was amazing, Like every
Monday night, one week it would be John three sixteen.
You know, God so loved the world that he gave
his only son that if you believe in him, you
want parish, but have eternal life, lock and load. Next
week they'd come back and it'd be John fourteen six
Jesus says, I'm the way the truth in the life.
No one comes to the Father but by me. The
next week they'd come back and it'd be he who
knew no sin became sin. So you could become the

(02:06:36):
wright sisters of God.

Speaker 15 (02:06:37):
And every week it.

Speaker 11 (02:06:38):
Would be the same message, a different you know, passage,
and they would.

Speaker 15 (02:06:42):
Show me that I was a sinner in need of
a savior.

Speaker 11 (02:06:45):
And so after eight weeks, one night I was at
the church Shay's Mountain Baptist Church by the way, and man,
I heard the gospel from doctor Carter, and I went
home to try to get away from it, but it
just kept echoing in my spirit. And I was eighteen
and two months old the night that I became a Christian.
And so I became a Christian at eighteen. And my

(02:07:07):
parents were never devout as Muslims until the night I
became a Christian, right and then they disowned me. And
I moved in with seven guys, six guys that lived
in a one bedroom apartment right there in Vestavia Hills,
and Charles.

Speaker 2 (02:07:20):
Billingsley was one of them, by the way, how about that?

Speaker 11 (02:07:22):
And all of us old guys, young guys moved into
this house, and man, within the first five months, I
saw my sister coming to the Lord. And then five
months after that my mom became a Christian, and then
five months after that my brother Benjamin that God just
made fearfully and wonderfully down syndrome. I became a Christian
and then two and a half years later, my dad

(02:07:45):
became a Christian. And so yeah, that's my story, man,
and God is just really a testimony of the power
of the Gospel to deliver people out of religion gone wrong.

Speaker 6 (02:07:56):
So the Persian people, and I want to be sure
and get that right, because a lot of times we
call them Iranians, and you certainly don't call them Arabs.
It's Persians and the Persian people outside of whatever tyrannical
regime is in control. What's the view of the Persian
people of the United States if they had the freedom

(02:08:17):
to express it.

Speaker 11 (02:08:19):
Yeah, I think obviously I can't speak for ninety million
in Iran, but I would say the overall sentiment, and
this is what I'm hearing from people who are actually
allowed to go back to Iran. My family and I
are not allowed to go back to your on we
escaped and were wanted there. But that said, I have
friends and I've met journalists before and people who've gone

(02:08:42):
to Iran. Even tourism right now in Iran is actually growing,
and people who've gone to those historic sites and they
come back and tell me that they're surprised at how
many Iranians come over to them when they realize they're
Americans and say, hey, we just want you to know
we love America.

Speaker 15 (02:08:59):
We're for a Manmerica. We think America is awesome.

Speaker 11 (02:09:03):
And so I would say that the overall sentiment from
what I'm hearing is that most Iranians love Americans, but
maybe have a high view warm regard towards Americans, but
are more critical in their view of the politicians and
the politics of America because they felt the weight of

(02:09:26):
these sanctions and the way that they're being explained to
them is that, hey, America is the greatest contributor of
putting these sanctions on us. And so when you're waiting
in line for two hours for a loaf of bread
and you're only sanctioned a small amount of gas even
though for your car, even though the entire country sits

(02:09:46):
on oil, and you're fifty percent of the nation is
under the poverty line, you know, you just begin to
realize that so much of that can spray on their
sentiment towards the American government. But you know, we see
American government as like you know, Democrat Republicans. To them,
it's a little more just like whoever's in charge of

(02:10:08):
America is making life hard on us, since I would
say they're critical in their political towards our politicians and
our political views, but incredibly warm towards us.

Speaker 15 (02:10:21):
The best stats that I know.

Speaker 11 (02:10:22):
About them, Rick, are about fifteen percent of Iranians are
hardline anti Americans. And I always say, I always say,
when those people shout death to America, you better believe them.

Speaker 2 (02:10:35):
Yeah, I want to talk about Yeah, I want to
touch on that when we come back.

Speaker 6 (02:10:39):
So yeah, yeah, we got one more segments we're going
to spend with David and we're going to get into that.

Speaker 2 (02:10:44):
So thank you for that insight.

Speaker 6 (02:10:46):
More with David nasher I when The Rick Burgess Show continues,
and we'll do that right after this.

Speaker 1 (02:10:51):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, only in America. Could
these four men do this for a living God bless America.

(02:11:13):
This is the Rick Burgess Shows.

Speaker 6 (02:11:16):
Thanks for being with us, David Nasa, our guests. So, David,
let me let me ask you two things. I want
to get these things in before we run out of
time with you. I know everybody is after you right now.
When things like this happen. I know your your family
was never a devout Muslim, but you're you're familiar with,
you know, the the radical Islamic point of view. What

(02:11:39):
happened over the weekend. Do you believe when you hear
someone who's completely we're all in, we are interpreting this
in a fundamental way. When they say if they had
the capability to take out Israel, I'm talking about the regime,
not the people, to take out Israel. And if possible, America,

(02:12:00):
Great Britain, should these threats be taken serious?

Speaker 12 (02:12:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (02:12:05):
Absolutely, I think they've They've shown over and over again
that they are funding terrorism, they are conspiring towards more
evil and terrorism, and they genuinely believe that they're pointed
by their God to you know, fight evil, and they

(02:12:27):
believe we're evil. And so I always say, anytime someone
says death to America over and over and over again,
you should believe them. Now again, fifteen percent, ten percent
of the people of Iran, and they're the ones who
get on the TV the most because if it bleeds,
it leads right, and they're the ones who end up

(02:12:47):
in front of the cameras. But that's fifteen percent of
ir audience. The rest I'd say eighty five percent of
the people in Iran. They want peace and prosperity for everybody,
and they want the democracy, they want a new regime.
They want to see this Islamic regime overthrown because it's

(02:13:08):
terrorizing them and terrorizing.

Speaker 15 (02:13:09):
The rest of us.

Speaker 11 (02:13:10):
And so yeah, I think we have to take it seriously.
Now that said, no God loving Christian wants war. No,
you know, no one wants to see bombs thrown, you know,
on buildings that could accidentally take the life of children
or innocent families. But it is important in times like

(02:13:32):
this to distinguish the difference between bombing you know, nuclear
sites versus just bombing in nation.

Speaker 15 (02:13:40):
And I think that's what America did. Now I am
going to.

Speaker 11 (02:13:46):
I choose to believe that this is because of intelligence
that they had that I'm not prevy to, because they
know that that comes with risk, because again, fifteen percent
want to harm us An, eighty five percent don't. But
the fifteen percent that do rick they're the ones who

(02:14:07):
are organized. They're the ones who are weaponized, you know,
They're the ones who are mobilized.

Speaker 15 (02:14:13):
And the eighty five.

Speaker 11 (02:14:14):
Percent of the Iranian people that are good people. They
are not mobilized, they are not they do not have,
you know, the tools that they need to fight. But
I think it's got to be the kind of thing
where we're helping the Iranian people overthrow this evil regime, yes,
you know. And one of the ways we could do

(02:14:34):
that maybe is just even by the way that we help.
I know Elon Musk is trying to get startlink there,
but you've got to have a receiving box, you know.
Is to bring back communication so that people can fight
this revolution with their iPhones in their hand and tell
the great stories as well and communicate as well. Another
one is to work with the shaft Son you know,

(02:14:57):
the Plavi family about help bring stability if the government
is overthrown. He's not looking to come back and be
the monarch and be the king. He's looking to come
back in service nation so that then the people can
have an opportunity to vote in who they want to
be their leader. But I think it's a robust strategy
that we can be a help to. But I, as

(02:15:19):
an Iranian American citizen who was born in Iran, saw
what happened the other night as not a bomb, bomb, bomb, Bombo,
Iran beat my chest, happy moment, but as a heartbreaking moment,
but a necessary one because it is godly to rise

(02:15:40):
up against evil. It is godly to stand up for
those who can't still up for themselves.

Speaker 15 (02:15:44):
It is godly to protect the innocent.

Speaker 11 (02:15:47):
And I think bombing those nuclear sites, one of them
being in Essahon, the very city I was born in,
Bombing those sites prevents us from greater damage and greater death.

Speaker 2 (02:15:58):
So looking at the population, I heard you say that
sixty forty or younger. Is that correct?

Speaker 11 (02:16:04):
Yeah, it's crazy. It's a young nation. And so you've
got young, audacious people. Every great revolution in the world
in history, whether it was Tenements Square, the Iranian Revolution
in nineteen seventy nine, every great revolution in the world,
even the American Revolution, was led by audacious young people

(02:16:25):
who are willing to just swing, you know, throwing the
end zone. And Iran is a young nation. You've got
over ninety million people and sixty percent of them are
under the age of forty. And by the way, they're
looking around and they're realizing that religion isn't working. Those
troubled places in the world, by the way, are the
most religious places in the world, and you're talking about

(02:16:47):
a place where because of Charia law, because of you know,
just the tyranny of it all, they've done more damage
than good in the life of people. I mean, I
read a sat the day where there are over a
quarter million prostitutes in Iran because.

Speaker 15 (02:17:05):
Women in the middle of all of this Tria law.

Speaker 11 (02:17:09):
Are at the hardest hit, like so much of the
poverty that's happening, and the and the destruction that is happening,
and and and you've just you've got a you've got
a nation right now where drug uses is rampage, you know,
so much sin, and and it's a reminder not just
on that side of the ocean, but here that religion

(02:17:29):
doesn't really fix anything.

Speaker 15 (02:17:31):
Religion is destructive, redemption is hopeful.

Speaker 11 (02:17:37):
And ultimately, by the way, what Iran needs ultimately is
not a new governance. Ultimately, what Iran needs is not
a revolution.

Speaker 15 (02:17:47):
But a revival. But I do believe that the young
people of Iran.

Speaker 11 (02:17:53):
Are probably more open to revival than ever before because
they've seen how religion doesn't work. So what an incredible
chance for us to see the church in Iran thrive.
By the way, the fastest growing church in the world
is Iran.

Speaker 2 (02:18:06):
That's correct, the underground church.

Speaker 6 (02:18:07):
Yes, yeah, well, David, thank you. I know everybody's after you,
and thank you for giving us time today. And it's
so good to reconnect. And I hope that this you
and I can start keeping in touch again like we
did before. And glad that we started that with this
conversation today.

Speaker 15 (02:18:23):
I love you, buddy, love you two man.

Speaker 2 (02:18:25):
Thanks for all you do for the Kingdom.

Speaker 6 (02:18:27):
David Nassar taking time to be with us today a
very unique perspective on all this going on with the
country and of course the Iranians, the Persian people themselves,
where the fastest growing church in the world is underground
and that's always where the hope was found.

Speaker 1 (02:18:47):

House only one that's exclusively available on the.

Speaker 2 (02:19:35):
YouTube channel only.

Speaker 6 (02:19:37):
But enjoy all that all right, as we come back
Bill Maher, Bill Maher himself, Bill Maher. You know, even
though we would disagree with Bill on a lot of things,
he does seem to talk to his fellow leftists and go, look,
I just can't draft with you guys on everything. And
its latest call to the left is please please, someone

(02:20:00):
does something about the View and can we please remove
them from the airwaves. If you are a leftist, they
are killing us and making us all look insane. He said,
if we would like to take a step back to sanity, Uh,
he said, we and and not and be more sensible liberal,

(02:20:21):
not crazy woke.

Speaker 2 (02:20:22):
One thing we must do is stop the view.

Speaker 1 (02:20:26):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:20:26):
And then he on his on his program, Uh, he.

Speaker 6 (02:20:30):
Has Wesley Hunt, Republican from Texas, and you're going to
and I heard I watched some of this. There's some
incredible rebuttals from him on many things, but this one
is what Whoopy Goldberg said in her bizarre claim that
if you're black in America, it's just like living under Sharia.

Speaker 2 (02:20:49):
Law in a run. So you have a hard time
background that. Yes, So here's Wesley Hunt with Bill Maher.
Here we go.

Speaker 22 (02:21:00):
My district in Grants out of Texas is actually a
white majority of district, or President Trump would have won
by twenty five points. As I said, I'm a direct
descendant of a slave. My great great grandfather was born
on a rose down plantation. I am literally being judged
not by the color of my skin, but by the
content of my character. That's the progress because like.

Speaker 17 (02:21:18):
A lot of white people had to vote for me
a lot to reader.

Speaker 22 (02:21:22):
So I don't even ever want to hear Whoopy Gober's
conversation about how it's worse to be black in America
right now, that's a bit far. And my father, who's
seventy five years old, he was a man that was
in the French quarters that had to go get a
sandwich to.

Speaker 8 (02:21:35):
The back door of the building.

Speaker 22 (02:21:37):
And his son is now a United States Congressman in
a white majority district in Texas as a Republican.

Speaker 2 (02:21:43):
Yeah, that's a tough case.

Speaker 6 (02:21:46):
Now, if you really want your mind blown, I think
I will go to an ay Adler, if you really
want your mind blown, we have a black Republican from
Texas who made the point he cannot be in that
position without lots of white folks voting for him. Not
something that I believe you could get away with under
shereal law. But anyway, Wesley Hunt also is about to

(02:22:08):
defend Trump restoring Roberty Lee's name to the military military base.
And he's going to explain to Bill Maher while this
matters and gets applause from a Bill Maher audience.

Speaker 17 (02:22:22):
So here here he is, Trump is putting the Roberty
Lee name back on buildings.

Speaker 2 (02:22:28):
I mean, are you done with that?

Speaker 22 (02:22:30):
So when I was at West Point, I actually lived
in Robert E. Lee Barracks when I was there, and
as I said, Berdie Lee went y, Yes, yes he did.
That's why the beaks named after him. And so my brother,
sister and I are matriculated through West Point.

Speaker 2 (02:22:42):
We all graduated.

Speaker 22 (02:22:43):
And I will never forget walking under the threshold of
Roberty Lee Barricks and think to myself, damn, this is
one hell of a country, because only in America can
someone like me walk into a building named after a
Confederate general and then be a successful West Point graduate.
If we start changing the names on bill things, then
every single building would be named Jesus Christ based on perfection.

(02:23:03):
Let's talk about where.

Speaker 2 (02:23:05):
We have comfort.

Speaker 22 (02:23:05):
Well maybe not to you, but maybe not to you.

Speaker 13 (02:23:10):
But I bring that up.

Speaker 22 (02:23:16):
Because I want to talk about the progress and the
idea of us changing names on buildings actually doesn't take
harkeness back to times where they weren't as good.

Speaker 8 (02:23:23):
And how can we not?

Speaker 2 (02:23:24):
I am, my wife is I've been black for my
whole life. Yes, still my wife is is white.

Speaker 22 (02:23:33):
And we have three biracial children, and I cannot wait
to show them and take them to places that that
wasn't always the case. There was a time when your
mother and daddy could not be married. My childre are
going to have the opportunity to be second lining down
in New Orleans. And then my wife is from Iowa.
They'll be on the farm with their grandfather and Iowa.
That is America. And I do not want to take

(02:23:54):
down these statutes and change the names of these buildings.
They're a reminder of what was and if we don't
remember it, we are doomed to repeat it.

Speaker 2 (02:24:02):
That's so common sense.

Speaker 6 (02:24:04):
And I remember us making that point many times during
the Rick and Bubba years, and you know, of course
us being white folks, everybody says wow. But when you
have someone who just said to Bill Moore, I've been
black my entire life. The point he's making is so
elementary but yet so powerful. How can he show his

(02:24:24):
children the advancement of things if everybody removes what we
advanced from, we can't be terrified.

Speaker 12 (02:24:33):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:24:34):
Just here the very people which I.

Speaker 6 (02:24:36):
Agree with, by the way, who want to, you know,
say that, well, America has things that we should not
be proud of. I agree with that, but I'm not
for being history revisionist. So these same people that think
that we need to remember the things we did that
were wrong, how can we remember them and show how

(02:24:58):
we've corrected them If no no one shows us what
we once did. You can't go take history and just
revise it because it makes you uncomfortable now that anything
like this could have happened.

Speaker 2 (02:25:10):
I want to know what happened.

Speaker 6 (02:25:12):
I want to know how it happened, just like just
for instance, Andy Andrews, who I'll be on his podcast
tomorrow and he'll be with us Wednesday for another round
of be true or bs. When Andy Andrews wrote the
book how do you kill eleven million people? About the Holocaust?
And the answer is you lie to them? So I mean,
do we want to just, you know, not learn how

(02:25:34):
that happened?

Speaker 2 (02:25:34):
How did we end up? How did we all stand
around and watch eleven million people be killed? Well, I'd
like to know how that happened.

Speaker 6 (02:25:41):
What if somebody says that's just too uncomfortable, we need
to revise that, we need to take that off the
face of the earth.

Speaker 2 (02:25:48):
No, no, we need to know these things. Who was
Robert E. Lee? At one time he was heralded as
a great general for the Union. What happened? What was
this Civil War all about? Out?

Speaker 6 (02:26:00):
I think that you know that Ben Carson has the
great balance on that. To say that the Civil War
was all about slavery is historically inaccurate, But to say
it had nothing to do with slavery is also historically inaccurate.
It was complicated and there was a lot going on there.
So can don't you think people should learn about that?

(02:26:21):
Who is Robert E?

Speaker 11 (02:26:22):
Lee?

Speaker 6 (02:26:22):
Let's find out who is this monument to why? Let's
learn and then go forward. I think he makes a
great point.

Speaker 9 (02:26:30):
Yes, I love Wesley Hunt's attitude. He's sitting in that
Robert E. Lee military base. He's like, well, now I'm here.
At one point there was a guy named Robert E.
Lee and now I'm here, yeah, and my white wife
and that was not legal at one time too.

Speaker 2 (02:26:45):
Well take that.

Speaker 6 (02:26:46):
And I'm not defending some of the things that some
of the Confederacy certainly tried to keep going. But I'm
also going to say that Robert E. Lee's also complicated.

Speaker 2 (02:26:56):
You don't need to just say.

Speaker 8 (02:26:57):
Roberty Lee racist.

Speaker 2 (02:26:59):
No, it's his life.

Speaker 6 (02:27:00):
He's complicated, like all of us are. There's a lot
of things about Robert E. Lee that were great, that
were really good. Read some of his writings to his family.
He was a devout man of God. Now did he
get the confederatcry R Confederacy right? You'd have to see
how he was looking at it. You have to get
in his mindset. But does that mean that he had

(02:27:21):
nothing that was good? It doesn't mean that at all.
I don't know about y'all. I'm complicated. All of us
are complicated, you know, And and we moved through life too.
There's things that I would have been okay, with you know,
forty years ago that I'm not okay with now, you
know there.

Speaker 2 (02:27:41):
We can't all just be they can't.

Speaker 6 (02:27:43):
Somebody can't grab a moment in our life or we
got something wrong and say everything this person did was wrong.

Speaker 8 (02:27:48):
Growing up in Texas, my rivals was Robert E.

Speaker 7 (02:27:50):
Lee.

Speaker 1 (02:27:51):
The school.

Speaker 8 (02:27:51):
Sure, I wonder if.

Speaker 2 (02:27:54):
They're still named that one of Montgomery's not not really,
but but this all of it.

Speaker 6 (02:28:00):
But to go and remove all these things and not
explain their origin, I think is is dangerous. And I
think we look around sometimes to see some of the
things that are gaining ground again. And the reason why
they're gaining ground again is people don't understand how dangerous
it is to go down some of these roads because
they no one's teaching them about it what happened. And

(02:28:23):
so I agree with what he said, and even Robert E. Lee,
the person is complicated. The Civil War is ugly and
it's awful, but I think we should know everything about it.
Not some things about it, We should know everything about it.

Speaker 8 (02:28:39):
They changed the name of the one in San ANCHOONI
R two, okay.

Speaker 6 (02:28:42):
And there were some things that the Union did after
the Civil War that the Union shouldn't have done that.

Speaker 2 (02:28:47):
That was evil, you know. So it's not.

Speaker 6 (02:28:51):
All just this, here's good, here's bad. Life rarely is
except when you get into God's standard. You know, when
you get into God's standard about things, none of us
are gonna sit sit real fruity, which is why we
we need redemption and we need grace and we need mercy.
Remember that call to perfection I was unattainable, which is

(02:29:13):
why Jesus had to go across. So people are complicated
and we should know everything, not just preferred things.

Speaker 1 (02:29:23):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. People said, let the
whole world know that you listen to the Rick Burgers Show.

Speaker 2 (02:31:44):
I thought, here's another opportunity to bring laughs to an
audience that had been laughing in for years. What happened
next no one would ever forget.

Speaker 6 (02:31:58):
When they said goodbye to Speedy on Wednesday, no one
knew it would be the last time they would see
him again.

Speaker 2 (02:32:08):
I will tell this on Wednesday. I don't do bro huggs.
I'm gonna hold you a little.

Speaker 8 (02:32:11):
Yeah, I'm gonna get a real hug.

I'm gonna put my hand on the back of his
head as a hug you. I'm gonna hold you a little.
I'm gonna hold you a little longer if you don't mind. Larry.
Larry and Carolyn were the brand new guest on the
All New Rickbirdes Show, and everyone loved them. But what
they didn't know would change everything. A minute, I'm laughing

(02:32:39):
at a that's good. Everybody's new favorite character. But what
the audience didn't know would change everything. Bring bringing The
audience thought it was about patches, a patch collector on

(02:33:00):
a voice smell harmless by all account, but what was
discovered next would change everyone's life forever.

Speaker 9 (02:33:14):
Okay, Okay, everyone's life forever. But wool even stand outside
and like wave to you and everything.

Speaker 8 (02:33:24):
It'll be fun.

Speaker 2 (02:33:25):
Look for me to hold you a little closer and
a little bit longer.

Speaker 1 (02:33:29):
Some reason.

Speaker 2 (02:33:32):
The next day they fully expected to hear Speedy live
from Dublin, Georgia. But what they heard would haunt them forever.

Speaker 9 (02:33:44):
They know that you're supposed to go live because to them,
it'll be what time six at five am?

Speaker 1 (02:33:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (02:33:51):
Is that how time?

Speaker 2 (02:33:51):
Zunes?

Speaker 11 (02:33:52):
Wor?

Speaker 2 (02:33:52):
I mean, but y'all don't want me going live and
staying with y'all the whole show. Yes, yes, people are
gonna get really tired the walk.

Speaker 8 (02:34:01):
At No, we want timing in the whole time from there.

Speaker 15 (02:34:08):
Larry very much, Larry.

Speaker 2 (02:34:12):
Said Larry, Not that Blarry little more Larry, who it
is that the greatest segment? And then the first is
the dumbest second?

Speaker 14 (02:34:23):
Right right?

Speaker 2 (02:34:24):
Greg? Wow, this is dumb.

Speaker 9 (02:34:25):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (02:34:28):
Patches, Challenge Coins and the Bizarre Session be slids all
innocent enough, all right, but what was at the heart
of it? It was something much more sinister.

Speaker 8 (02:34:47):
You need to let them know you're gonna be live
with us the whole time.

Speaker 2 (02:34:51):
Now, I'm not gonna be live the whole time.

Speaker 8 (02:34:52):
Nobody won't.

Speaker 2 (02:34:55):
If people start saying you're a bit with that. Okay,
I'm sure you will me too.

Speaker 8 (02:35:00):
By the way, please, okay, that's what I thought.

Speaker 2 (02:35:05):
That's what I was afraid of.

Speaker 6 (02:35:06):
The dinner they served, Speedy, no one so coming. He
thought it was a roast, little green beans.

Speaker 2 (02:35:17):
He was eating a good Southern meal, a good Southern meal, nothing,
nothing seemed out of the ordinary. But what we discovered
was something much more sinister. He loves the word sinister. Yeah,

(02:35:42):
oh that's good.

Speaker 8 (02:35:44):
So it's going to be fine. You're going to have
a great time. It's going to be a good bit.

think I would play this one. I've got one pulled
up this by dog getting the dogs. I ain't playing that.

Speaker 2 (02:41:28):
Here's another one by long well care. It doesn't look good.
What was the name of the artist Adler?

Speaker 8 (02:41:38):
I thought he said Donna Quante or with Donnie? Was
it Donnie com?

Speaker 2 (02:41:45):
I find nothing. We should have talked about this in
the break, Donnie Osmond. I don't. I don't want to.
I see nothing. It sounds dangerous. Dogs dogs, dogs, song,
pink Floyd dogs.

Speaker 8 (02:41:57):
I really wish the chat would be, would help me out.
But they're they're not Dan.

Speaker 2 (02:42:01):

Yes? Oh yeah, are we daredevil?

Speaker 8 (02:42:36):
I haven't haven't had a chance.

Speaker 6 (02:42:40):
Let's jump the ramp, come on here, we got's let's
just see what happens. Dogs, dog it's different, not the
right song, Greg.

Speaker 8 (02:42:46):
That's that's not the song, right, all right, Hold on
a second. I got a lot going on here. I
have not listened to one second of this.

Speaker 2 (02:42:59):
He says.

Speaker 21 (02:42:59):
What he said, Rugg's got dog slamp dog report.

Speaker 2 (02:43:12):
All right, so he's lyrics. I'm worried about it.

Speaker 8 (02:43:16):
What's that noise ringing all around? Is that what they
referred to as another northern sound? It's like a three
ring circuit star and four legged clowns. Cause we're just
guessing this offect? Does they had on one to hold
the ground, Alan Baller.

Speaker 5 (02:43:31):
Starting count hits him to get out of the rug
for it. Whatever the calls, love is all I have
to raise.

Speaker 8 (02:43:39):
It's hardy chief of Somber. Please, Hey, where you look?

Speaker 9 (02:43:42):
It's just dogs, doll dolls, noses to the grown dolls, doll.

Speaker 2 (02:43:52):
Anything to do with sledding and dogs.

Speaker 8 (02:43:55):
It's all about sledding dogs.

Speaker 2 (02:43:58):
No no, don't you touch me? No no no, He says,
that's one of our favorite songs. He's obsessed with. Guys,
did we now call him Larry the dog Man? He's
transitioned completely from patches and challenge coins to this, but
transition realized the Champion Dogs letter is actually from Alabama.

(02:44:21):
Probably don't say that he's one that did run.

Speaker 8 (02:44:25):
Greg, we know, get a rod Greg.

Speaker 2 (02:44:28):
What I said, he runs completely transition. It's completely transition
to sled dogs. Oh yeah, can't get enough of them?
Okayn't even he brought a patch up.

Speaker 9 (02:44:41):
I don't know when it wasn't worth us, like frantically
on the air trying to find No, it was not.
That's not like anyone I'm going You're going, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:44:53):
Did Donna sound like a dude when it's supposed to
be Donna something? October? All right, let's go to Chip
Carry h Chip Carry major League Baseball. I've just gotta
why are you doing that? You don't want this? Can
we play this? We just played his misspeak. Yeah, you're

(02:45:17):
going to play all right?

Speaker 8 (02:45:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (02:45:19):
On the list?

Speaker 2 (02:45:20):
Nobody enjoy the story on the list. This would be me.

Speaker 8 (02:45:24):
No, you actually have done this exactly?

Speaker 2 (02:45:26):
What's one of the reasons why I said I have it?
But get ready what he misspoked. Let's be honest. On
Pride Month, any reference to the item flag should probably
just be removed from mean. He just everybody knows that.
Nobody thinks that is.

Speaker 9 (02:45:44):
It is it.

Speaker 8 (02:45:44):
Can you hear it?

Speaker 2 (02:45:47):
I can't wait to hear it.

Speaker 8 (02:45:48):
Pretty obvious. Yeah, it's not that obvious.

Speaker 2 (02:45:51):
Okay, his intention was not to be did you say that?

Speaker 18 (02:45:55):
We know that he talks through it, but yeah, Disability
Pride Night is through state. You're like, that's them with
the theme ticket fans take ho Me, Cardinals cat featuring
the Disability Pride fag flag and Cardinals in brail details
at Cardinals dot com.

Speaker 2 (02:46:11):
Slash them. I didn't know what you're talking about, the
month or whatever.

Speaker 8 (02:46:15):
It's Disability Pride. Hey, listen, not quiet.

Speaker 2 (02:46:19):
This was the broadcast. Nobody said an thirty minutes, it
got so quiet. Nobody said a word thirty seconds.

Speaker 8 (02:46:26):
I'm so I said a minute.

Speaker 2 (02:46:27):
It feels like thirty minutes. Still, I don't know what's
going on, so quiet. Picture of this being a still silence, nothing,
there's no I don't know if they're laughing. They haven't
said a word still anything. They're trying to like, they're
probably laughing at their headphones. Can you edit that one?

Speaker 22 (02:46:46):
Indeed, that one.

Speaker 2 (02:46:47):
Guy guys, and again he's not in trouble, so he
shouldn't be. He just said a word wrong. He had
no intent. It's funny. What did you consider what he
was talking about? That made it? An asked?

Speaker 8 (02:47:00):
Sim Ability Pride Night. That's what it is, brought in
Disability Pride.

Speaker 2 (02:47:05):
Now let me get this right. So it's the Disability
Pride Night. What's that mean?

Speaker 8 (02:47:09):
The Disability Pride.

Speaker 2 (02:47:10):
I guess if you, I mean, if you got game, no,
let let's have it. Nobody help him? Is it disabled?
Is it disabled? I'm gonna no, Greg, I don't think
I think it is. It's not. I need to hear
the read again to hear what's going on. There's the

(02:47:30):
rainbows on it.

Speaker 8 (02:47:32):
That's thinking.

Speaker 2 (02:47:32):
It's just no, that's exactly what it is.

Speaker 8 (02:47:35):
Not can wait play it?

Speaker 18 (02:47:37):
I don't think The Disability Pride Night is Thursday, July
tenth and with the themed ticket fans take HOI Cardinals
cat featuring the Disability Pride fag flag and Cardinals in.

Speaker 2 (02:47:49):
Detailed the cardinal's embraille. So I think I think if
you are disabled and lb G T that's.

Speaker 13 (02:47:57):
What I think.

Speaker 2 (02:47:59):
I'm a rad there may be something here. I'm not
saying that's it.

Speaker 18 (02:48:02):
What.

Speaker 2 (02:48:02):
I don't think it's just people who have disabilities. It's
gay people who have disabilities what I No, I know, but.

Speaker 5 (02:48:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (02:48:10):
Right, gay pride be I'm I'm proud of it, and
then disability pride would be I'm disabled and proud of it.

Speaker 2 (02:48:17):
No, No, you're disabled and gay? That's what are they
covered though? That's what they're saying. But what I'm saying is,
but isn't that covered under the you would think it
would be points.

Speaker 8 (02:48:33):
I'm just trying to tell you, I know you are.

Speaker 2 (02:48:35):
I didn't want to believe it. I just but what
I'm discussed because that made it even funny. No doubt
about that, No doubt about that.

Speaker 6 (02:48:43):
But list I thought, but if you have disabilities or
what and you and you are l G B t Q,
aren't you under that canopy of the whole month?

Speaker 2 (02:48:53):
I think?

Speaker 5 (02:48:53):
So?

Speaker 8 (02:48:54):
Are we are reaching in?

Speaker 6 (02:48:56):
We're just are we reaching in and say we're gonna
take one night and we're not going to recognize people
with disabilities only gay people with disabilities?

Speaker 2 (02:49:03):
Are you? Are you sure? That's well? It was okay,
it was fat pride now for fat people that are LGB.

Speaker 7 (02:49:10):
No.

Speaker 2 (02:49:11):
I do think different. I do think everything in June
goes back to that. Are you sure so?

Speaker 8 (02:49:18):
If not?

Speaker 2 (02:49:18):
It would be disability awareness. Not I'll tell you what.

Speaker 8 (02:49:24):
You didn't have fat pride, and that's fat people that
are proud of it.

Speaker 2 (02:49:27):
No, that's not what it is.

Speaker 8 (02:49:29):
And then you've got day pride.

Speaker 2 (02:49:36):
Is one thing.

Speaker 6 (02:49:37):
I wonder instead of like a bob get that you're
saying that anything you're sociated with pride in June they.

Speaker 2 (02:49:42):
Take Yes, I think so.

Speaker 13 (02:49:44):
I think so.

Speaker 2 (02:49:45):
The fact that it's in June July July.

Speaker 8 (02:49:47):
It's July July disability.

Speaker 1 (02:49:50):
But just show he has known Greg Burgess for his
entire life.

Speaker 6 (02:50:09):
Upsets all right, by the way, Speedy thinks it's diabetes
pride night.

Speaker 2 (02:50:18):
But uh so, all right, Greg, I was wrong, Greg.
Let's clarify. Greg. The message wasn't clear. Greg. You're there's
no set okay there after? Are you gonna survive this? Okay?

Speaker 13 (02:50:32):
I was wrong?

Speaker 2 (02:50:33):
Crying now laughing, Okay, we're all hurting. Greg. You really
doubled down to me. I missed the month they were
talking about they were about. I didn't know they were
talking about July. I know that John that changed his everything.
It's confused. Let me change something.

Speaker 19 (02:50:53):
You hear.

Speaker 2 (02:50:55):
There was rainbow colors on the thing. I know, Greg,
guy's gonna says, actually in pink, it's okay. I was wrong,
but and I didn't mean to, but I drug all
y'all with me, and I think I was so convinced.
You know why I was.

Speaker 6 (02:51:06):
I really thought, let me say something, Let me tell
you something, Greg, look out there. You died on that
gay disability heel and couldn't anybody get.

Speaker 2 (02:51:12):
You off of it? And it was in July.

Speaker 6 (02:51:14):
But even in July, Greg was still clinging by pointing
to confusing logos and they are confusing. Yes, if I
could tell the disability bunch all this different colors for
different disabilities, you basically have created a rainbow, and let's
stay away from the color pink.

Speaker 7 (02:51:31):
Well, I missed it right there. Now I'm red, and
now I'm looking at the reid. It doesn't say July
tenth any bigger than it does. I mean, it's huge.

Speaker 2 (02:51:39):
I don't know it was great. You can see how
that can be confusing about admitting now that I was
in correct. So it's a faded out rainbow kind of
is what it looks?

Speaker 8 (02:51:49):
Disability pride?

Speaker 2 (02:51:51):
What it just this moment, this moment, actually have a
like that that's walking Greg.

Speaker 8 (02:51:57):
You need to clarify what you said and what's actually true.

Speaker 2 (02:52:00):
Yeah, and I'm let's not be in disrespectful. This is
just what I thought.

Speaker 6 (02:52:04):
I thought that it was pride day for disabled people
that are a member of the l g B, Greg,
q P, l M N O P. Now I don't
remember upsetting people now, okay, of that community. Let's say
I and I thought that, I mean, we got all
kinds of days. I thought it might have been in
now I thought that were missing. But what it was

(02:52:25):
that the flags are very the same, a lot of rainbow.

Speaker 13 (02:52:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:52:29):
The fact that you thought that category was possible in
today's world, well, you're right, I.

Speaker 8 (02:52:36):
Thought it was that too. For a second, Greg, you
even convinced.

Speaker 21 (02:52:39):
Me that it was.

Speaker 2 (02:52:40):
Guys, you're convinced. I'm rarely wrong.

Speaker 8 (02:52:43):
Was and what what did you think it was?

Speaker 2 (02:52:46):
What you think it was? I told you what I thought, Greg.
I want you to declar for what it is though.
It is about disabled a disability pride, yes, all in July.
And I didn't know that either, And plus I didn't
know what today's day was. And course what Speedy calls
diabetes pride yes, okay, And now the misspeak didn't help
any that.

Speaker 8 (02:53:06):
The confusion got me.

Speaker 2 (02:53:09):
Thank you alcohol. I was down. I thought it was
a fian slip and things.

Speaker 8 (02:53:12):
Have gotten so confusing. We're really just trying to figure
it all out. This is real time.

Speaker 2 (02:53:17):
I wasn't trying, That's just the way it looked to me.
And they're looking and for everybody I on want the emails.

Speaker 6 (02:53:25):
I apologize. You are just like a skip carrier or
whatever his name is. Yes, I can't imagine that thirty seconds.

Speaker 22 (02:53:33):
I can't.

Speaker 2 (02:53:33):
They were silent what they were doing.

Speaker 6 (02:53:35):
I can't figure which one Greg will get most that
he what what group? Do you think what he's done
is I got to after minute. Unfortunately he's in. He's
now got two groups after him.

Speaker 7 (02:53:46):
Yeah, oh my gosh, we have pride, not just getting
now to our defense, we didn't create the confusion. The
confusion was there and we were trying to figure it out.

Speaker 21 (02:53:56):
Now.

Speaker 7 (02:53:57):
We probably should have paid attention with no day because
that's they say that. Yeah completely, the fourth of July.

Speaker 2 (02:54:06):
If we if we ever stopped shooting from the hip, though,
this show will cease to be entertaining. I thought they
were going to get bibble heads that night.

Speaker 8 (02:54:19):
You not hear me, right, half that had half.

Speaker 2 (02:54:23):
I didn't listen to nothing I got me. That was
not before y'all credit me with that. That was not
I'm just saying that's how confused it was. I was
confused and with it.

Speaker 8 (02:54:36):
We call it Pride months. We call it Pride month.
We thought we thought the word pride.

Speaker 2 (02:54:42):
I did film dirt hitting us. We record and edit
things out, we're live, We're just we're just trying to
figure it, man. And I wasn't trying to be funny.
I really thought I was right. But now looking back
on it, that even in today's world, that would be
I disagree with that. I disagree with that. That's the
only thing I disagree with.

Speaker 6 (02:55:03):
I think anything I think right now, you can't take
anything off the table. Now you might want to get
it right and check your dates, but I'm saying you
can't get you can't take anything off. And I'm almost
going to be honest to here. I'm looking at this
breakdown of the disabailed Pride flag. It's confusing, right.

Speaker 9 (02:55:21):
Some of it right, because there's red, yellow, blue, green, black,
all representing different types of.

Speaker 8 (02:55:28):
But the white, ya, the white Greg makes a great point.

Speaker 2 (02:55:31):
Seeing that we're doing rainbow Omega in August. I think
we got that, we got a lot d It has
nothing to.

Speaker 8 (02:55:36):
Do with them. Well, but the white on the their flat,
their thing says invisible.

Speaker 2 (02:55:43):
Yeah, that I would like.

Speaker 8 (02:55:45):
What's an invisibility?

Speaker 6 (02:55:46):
Everybody here has got that one invisible and undiagnosed.

Speaker 2 (02:55:51):
Can't put your finger on it. But some's not right.
If it's and you haven't been diagnosed with it, how
do you know? You have like to move on?

Speaker 8 (02:56:00):
So we just correct.

Speaker 2 (02:56:02):
I was back to you took that through that runner
in the middle of everything, Well I did. I wouldn't
have because that's normally what they do. They give away
you know who was in he's got I think I
think the fires out of hand, gasoline holding person.

Speaker 6 (02:56:16):
You're not helping. Well, I didn't know, but now that
I know, I'm I'm so terribly sorry. Okay, was just
if they were singling out a certain community. Greg, So
you have now made sure that you've cleared it up
and you were passionately wrong. Yes, and but we see
where the confusion came from. Yeah, but I didn't realize that.

Speaker 2 (02:56:41):
That close. But now I get it. I get the
whole thing too, And in the spirit of us learning.

Speaker 9 (02:56:46):
The ADA, the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed in
the law in July.

Speaker 8 (02:56:54):
Okay, nineteen ninety Okay.

Speaker 13 (02:56:56):
Got it?

Speaker 2 (02:56:56):

the doesn't have to go back to the Deaf College
and the house.

Speaker 8 (02:57:05):

No replayed that last beeve remember?

Speaker 8 (02:57:12):
Oh yeah, Deaf president now or something?

Speaker 2 (02:57:14):
I think the ADA and all that kind of started
it is.

Speaker 8 (02:57:18):

it on your own time, says said. I'm only forty,
but I'm not all that. That's savvy, he said, So
it's there you go, he said, it's channel one time.

Speaker 2 (03:02:28):
I watch it. Okay, had like history, hazardous history. I
love that. Yeah, you know, and I think and we've
played some of these here. We've played some of these.

Speaker 6 (03:02:39):
You know, the commercials for cigarettes, especially the ones that
talked about how how good they were good for your throat. Unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (03:02:45):
Yeah, so that was it.

Speaker 6 (03:02:46):
My favorite was the doctor recommended brand. Yeah, that was
the one that most doctors use. It was a camel
by the way, it was old camel short. Gracious, Hey bird, Hey, Birds.
Just watched this Strange Encounters podcast. Enjoyed that discussion with
Tom Carr, he said, he said, also appreciated the words

(03:03:10):
at the end. He said, uh, when when I when
when I heard some of the things that were brought up,
all of us started getting a little bit tight, going,
uh oh, where's birds going with this? Appreciate all the
things we said, well, it was just you know, we
it was good. I mean, we agreed on most everything.
There were a few things that we didn't agree on,
but it was not anything that we couldn't work out,

(03:03:32):
you know. We he was on for a specific reason. Uh,
he had had encounters with demons, and that's really what
we wanted to hear.

Speaker 18 (03:03:42):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (03:03:42):
And then you know, there were some things that you know,
we we talked about and we discussed and things we
agreed on.

Speaker 2 (03:03:47):
Thing we disagreed on. But that's the beauty of the
of the cast.

Speaker 6 (03:03:50):
And we've got another another guest coming up this week
that has had some sort of encounter that will investigate
and we got a lot more to come. So not
part of hey burds, but I did want to bring
this up. Fred Smith, FedEx founder, Yeah, found dead at
eighty Really, Yeah, you talk about somebody who changed the

(03:04:11):
world FedEx. Who would have ever thought ship everything to
Memphis and then go out from there, you know, and
that this would be more efficient. And let's face it,
they they radically changed the way we got packages and
they challenged the whole industry. But he was he was
He was found dead at eighty The company announced and

(03:04:36):
said he was more than just a pioneer of an industry,
which he was, and the founder of a great company.
He was the heart and soul of FedEx. They announced,
they're not saying. They said he died on Saturday at eighty,
But they don't really tell you much about Is that
him when he was young? I guess so cause of death?
I guess that'll come later. But apparently maybe he'd lived

(03:05:00):
still independently if they found him dead, I guess at eighty, which.

Speaker 2 (03:05:05):
Worth oh a lot? And you, I mean there is
you talk about a ton of money.

Speaker 13 (03:05:12):
So are what?

Speaker 6 (03:05:13):
What do you because it seems like they've kind of
challenged everybody to do better. You got FedEx, you got ups,
you got the US Postal Service, And I'm a little
gray on I'm a little gray on some of these others.

Speaker 2 (03:05:24):
Amazon.

Speaker 6 (03:05:25):
I order from them, you order from them, but I'm sorry,
there's one the one out there in the yell and
the red vans.

Speaker 2 (03:05:29):
So they what oh uh yeah, the the HL something like?
Are they I mean, are they good with them?

Speaker 5 (03:05:37):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (03:05:38):
Back when they were, they weren't as good as to
talk to Amazon's.

Speaker 8 (03:05:42):
Amazon's delivering a lot of their own stuff too. You
see all those people. Yeah, prime trucks.

Speaker 2 (03:05:47):
Not only are they they're they're put together that vertical
monopoly on ordering things. And then you got the freight
companies when it's a little bigger. Yeah, oh yeah, that's big.
That's when you know you got a pallet company.

Speaker 8 (03:05:59):
Yeah, so FedEx stepped it up.

Speaker 19 (03:06:01):
Huh.

Speaker 8 (03:06:01):
I didn't really, I didn't.

Speaker 9 (03:06:02):
I wasn't paying attention when they came to prominence and
didn't know that they'd changed the game.

Speaker 2 (03:06:07):
Oh they would total game change. Yeah. Up to that,
it was just US postal service.

Speaker 6 (03:06:11):
And when they started this overnight by ten the next day,
they blew everybody's mind.

Speaker 7 (03:06:16):
Like, tell me if this is a rumor, if I
have this right, did Birmingham have a chance to have
FedEx as the hub and it went to Memphis?

Speaker 2 (03:06:24):
I do not know that now. What I heard on
that is Birmingham had the chance to be Delta's Is
that what it was? And they passed on that and
it went to Atlanta.

Speaker 16 (03:06:32):
Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (03:06:33):
Yeah, now that I've heard, not FedEx. Okay, but I'm
not saying that. No, I might have it wrong.

Speaker 6 (03:06:37):
I thought I heard that, Okay, So they said dhl'
is it Greg specialized in international shipping. So there remember
one time they came to my house at like ten
after ten o'clock? Really, did you know guy a little late?

Speaker 26 (03:08:56):
Hey, it's gonna answer Speedy's questions. So flythel Arkansas was
originally where FedEx was going to move and the city
decided not to give them any tax cuts. They were
going to use an old Air Force base, and so
that's why they ended up moving to Memphis. Also, he
went before the USPS government group or whatever, offering to

(03:09:21):
help take over USPS and streamline it, and the government
refused it.

Speaker 6 (03:09:26):
So remember that, Yeah, I do remember that because I
mean I read that too, and he said he could
do it so much more efficiently, so much better. Yeah,
and probably could. Have you remember where the original one
that got them really going when it absolutely has to
be there overnight?

Speaker 2 (03:09:42):
That's it? Do you remember that? That's good? Good? Good campaign?

Speaker 29 (03:09:58):
You know I lived through fall from Dublin, but I
just want to know what Speed is gonna do whenever
he called that good pot rose and he goes in
there and lays out at nine and he wakes up
with the stomach attack, and all of a sudden he
goes and knocks on the door and only here's in
Larry's boys say, I'm in here.

Speaker 2 (03:10:13):
That's not gonna be good.

Speaker 5 (03:10:14):
That where to go?

Speaker 2 (03:10:15):
Yeah, it's gonna be awful. Run down in the yard,
that gumment. If he woke up, miss hands were shaking,
God stop kidding, Rick Birdie show, go ahead.

Speaker 9 (03:10:27):
Hey, I got a question.

Speaker 28 (03:10:30):
So if Iran responded to America with attack, where was
the first place I think they would attack?

Speaker 2 (03:10:38):
Who would attack? They would Iran?

Speaker 14 (03:10:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (03:10:41):

the US.
