How do you have been? Welcome home.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Him there?

Speaker 1 (01:04):
And gentlemen, Hey, buddy, what's are you?

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Slept in my own bed last night? I feel that
was really nice.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Uh huh. We missed you yesterday.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
I missed you guys so much. Miss miss Greg.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
I know that you didn't miss I know that I cried.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
Myself to sleep, yes, because I missed Greg so much?

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Did you? Uh? And Speedy took care of so many things,
including mister chin.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Did you did you feed him? For real?

Speaker 5 (01:29):
It was that that medicine bottle in there. Yes, okay, Yeah,
I did. I just gave him a little sprinkle yesterday,
just a tiny pinch. We were concerned because it's in
actually a medicine bottle. Uh is like you would get
at a pharmacy sealed.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah, okay, and keeps it fresh for him.

Speaker 6 (01:45):
Listen, we did the if I ring a shot, gotta
put the food on his tongue.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah, but miss so I missed that, just a little
dab on his tongue.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
I had to get back into town. I wanted to
be back home by the time my kids got home
from school, and so that was my goal, and I
made that. I was on an airplane the entire show. Yeah,
and when there's a two hour time change that you
feel that a lot. But it helps you coming back
though it did. It did, but not since I was

(02:18):
kind of on that time frame. Any boy. Nice to
sleep in my own bed as opposed to, like I think,
I was in a child's bed in the house.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
So you try to do that again.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
Hey, you know they were signing beds and we'll give
Adler that one race car.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
I took it. I took it myself. You know. If
I go on a trip with a bunch of dudes,
and there's a race car bed in the house. It's
probably going to be mine.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
That's right, it is, so I called it walking through
the rooms.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
You know, there's a couple of doubles, a couple of
queen a king didn't want to share a bed with
the dudes. And I see a little day bed in
the corner of one of these rooms. I'm like, well,
I guess I know where I'm sleeping this week.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Oh no, not a day bed. So there you go.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
You sleep so good when you're not in your own house.
Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
But at least you didn't have Ruby waking you up
halfway through the night.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Only a dude's snoying.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah right, right right, you kept me up all night. Yeah,
I need to talk to my buddy. You's got something,
some weird thing going on with us, breathing or something.
Maybe I just caught him in a dream. I woke
up and it was like a m like a whale,

(03:39):
like a whale or something. I don't know, in a
weird dream or something, or if he has like jestive
heartfilure or something's going on there. Something.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, somebody's right, somebody's asking already because they they'll jump
on our clothes. You know what detext Nation is. It's
all like the only people out there are grig It's
like there's a there's there's thousands of eggs who have
a phone ready to text. And they said, did Adler
get a shirt from Rick today? Yeah? Yeah this summer until.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
I've been out in California. You know the ocean breeze.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
If you ever noticed this about the audience.

Speaker 6 (04:13):
Also on the text Nation, if you try to shoot basketball,
you can hit ten in a row.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
They won't say a word. You get up there and
you throw a few bangers in your little off.

Speaker 6 (04:23):
They start, you're right, but I hit ten in row.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Nobody says a word. They're not overly encouraging that. All
they want to do is tear down.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
They're not positive people.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
That's fine, but that's not what if they're not texting,
that's their compliment. Yes, yeah, I like that element. I
know you do. It's like like I said, thousands of you, so,
so how do well we'll recap a little bit. We
would love to hear how your trip went.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Okay, great, fantastic.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
I don't want to dominate, you know, we want to
hear all about it.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
We've thank you all for covering Speedy, especially doing so much.
Thank you guy so very much.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
You know what was kind of interesting and speedy. I'm
not trying to speak for you. See if you agree
it felt like that when you left early Friday, that
was more awkward than an entire show yesterday.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
I agree.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
It's almost like Speedy was settled. He realized he was
thrown into it, like he left one chair to another one,
and that made it weird. But when you started in there,
it seemed like it went smoother. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:22):
Yeah, because I mean to your point, Friday, we had
box seats in here, it was just a live show
and then you run in there and trying to get everything.
But yeah, once uh, once you get settled. But like
I said, we can get a band aid on it
and and keep it together. We're not adler, but I
mean we.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Kept it going, did a great job, kept it going.
How did Tube City treat you? They were very kind
where they were so they can be a little demanding. Yeah,
they liked their their Tube experience a certain one.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
They seemed happy. They seem happy.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
It's quite a yeah, that's an accomplishment. Yeah, uh so
we do. We do have a lot to do today, uh,
and we will hear from about Adler's tree up those
of you that I guess missed it. We did hear
from Nadmyra yesterday and I thought it was exactly the
way I expected it would go. I think that he's

(06:11):
even willing to come back on Friday or something now.
And he went from I don't want to be on
till he's offered up. So we'll we'll talk a little
bit about that.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
Really, And it's a compliment to Vanderbilt really, I mean,
look at where their program has gotten to and and
the culture in their program and what happened last year obviously,
but the fact that college game Day is going to
be in Tuscaloosa, the hype around the game, Dicky's fired up,
you know, beating Georgia. I mean, but it's it's set
up for a big weekend. And whoever you said it

(06:41):
best yesterday, Greg, who would have ever thought Vandy come
into town would be the where they're sitting up?

Speaker 1 (06:48):
I mean, can you show you said this yesterday?

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Greg?

Speaker 1 (06:51):
And it's one hundred percent right. Think about this, ESPN
that we are currently living in the day that ESPN
looked at their choices for the weekend. They said, I
tell you the big game, that's Bama and Venerable. You
never thought that, Guys, that used to be a game
like you had. You had a hard time geting people
wanted to go. Now it's gonna come to a crashing end.

(07:13):
I get that. We'll see. We'll see greg hey while
we play them on the field. Man, that's right, but
but we'll see. I mean, it's it'll be an interesting game.
They beat Bama last year.

Speaker 6 (07:22):
Man, yeah, which is another reason they're not going to
beat them this year. Okay, Yeah, it's saying two years.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Well, you've been hanging out with an admirers. You've been
in there r saying just look. But here's the thing
about college football fan bases, more so than pro pros
pro pro, I mean die hard pro fans. They they're
very demanding of their team. College football fans are as
frenzied and in some in some areas it seems almost

(07:51):
more frenzied. But they are so easy to manipulate. You
can flip them on and off like a switch. Right,
that's disaster. We love you, disaster, we love you, fire
you keep you love you hate you. I mean, it
just happens so quick in college. So what you've done
with Bama, you just flipped the switch right back on.
So they're back now. Yeah, and here we go. And uh, now,

(08:15):
I remember after the first game, I've never heard Bama
fans be so defeated. Yeah, well we may not win
another game. I mean, stuff like that I would think of.
I said, think about it.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
I mean, you got all the hype and yeah, you lose,
and you know, obviously you are upset.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
You're like, well, good gracious, are you serious? But again
then there's always They turned it around there last weekend,
so they've set themselves up. So so we'll see how
that goes. Now we do have an update. Uh and
it started even before I started checking for Haybird emails. Today.
We made an announcement yesterday concerning the Super Bowl, and

(08:53):
again we sat on the air. This is the first
time that our age we not only didn't really like
the halftime show, we didn't even know who it was.
And the more first time that's happened, and the more
I found out, the more I'm confused. I don't understand
what this organization is doing. It is head scratching here

(09:14):
it is head scratching h By the way, on text Nation,
look over there, Eler, there's Larry and Carolyn. They said
they you are glad you're back. Cow Ever for Larry
and Carolyn, we're glad that he's back.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
And we love his shirt.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
I love it. Carolyn loves your jerky.

I just didn't want to hide from you. Just give
it a second. It all slides through.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah, and it's huge. Yeah. And then of course on
our home page for the show, it's at the bottom.

Speaker 7 (13:34):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Okay. So speaking to that, a couple of things yesterday,
this thing with Paul Finebomb, Yeah on the SEC network.
Is this real or is this some kind of kidding around?
Is this some unreliable news source? Paul Finebaum is considering
leaving ESPN and running for senate. Yeah, well, did y'all

(13:56):
watch what I sent y'all yesterday? I just feel it.

Speaker 5 (13:58):
Okay, where was Yeah? Yeah, I sent you this. Yeah,
and this was Clake Travis. So this is Paul in
his own words, okay, here that he was contacted by
someone high up in Alabama politics encouraging him to do so.
And he actually said that he was considerate. But this
is courtesy of Clay Travis.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Wee.

Speaker 8 (14:17):
Tuberville was running for governor, a former Auburn coach who
beat Alabama six times in a row. And I think
it's fair to say he's going to win pretty comfortably.
Seems to be the assessment. There's an open senate See
Bruce Perk, also at Auburn, had talked about it.

Speaker 9 (14:31):
He says, now he's not going to run.

Speaker 8 (14:33):
Is that with the conversation or are you somewhat interested and
intrigued at the opportunity of looking into that senate race.
I'm assuming that's what they reached out to you to
talk to you about.

Speaker 10 (14:43):
Yes, I was very cautious. I didn't take it too seriously,
and then ultimately I ended up talking to someone who
made it clear that there was a desire for me
to be involved. And this person, obviously that's show Er
main nameless, was compelling and compassionate in the approach to me,

(15:10):
and I started thinking about it.

Speaker 8 (15:12):
This is a person highly up in the Alabama political universe.
Is that fair to say that you're having the conversations
with Okay, so you're thinking about it now, how when
thinking about it?

Speaker 9 (15:22):
The next step the steps?

Speaker 8 (15:24):
I mean obviously that I'm assuming that what people would
say is Paul Feinbaum has basically one hundred percent name
recognition in the state of Alabama.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Right.

Speaker 9 (15:32):
I don't think that's crazy.

Speaker 8 (15:34):
But this other pathway is potentially beckoning or intriguing to you.

Speaker 9 (15:40):
It is very intriguing.

Speaker 10 (15:42):
I am thinking about it constantly, and that's difficult to do. Clay,
as you're talking about college football, Yeah, twenty hours a
week debating Steven A. Smith, as you well know. I mean,
you're sitting there talking to Steven A. Smith and as
you're waiting to your turn, you're thinking, I wonder if
I should move forward on this. So it's it's it's

(16:05):
a it's been a it's been going on for a
couple of days or if not weeks, and it's just
hard to chisel it down to make an educated decision,
but to say I'm considering it. Of course, Yes, there's
it's something that I can't say I've dreamed about. If
I can't say I've thought about it. I'm not a

(16:26):
career politician who had it all mapped out. This is
something that just came to me. And it's also very late,
and I don't know quite how to deal with it.
But as far as your question, you know, would I
give up what I'm doing?

Speaker 1 (16:40):
I would?

Speaker 9 (16:41):
I would.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
I would have to. He used negotiating a new contract.
You know, that's the first thing I thought over it.
That's that's leverage. That's leverage. Look, it's brilliant. I like
Paul and Paul. Let me tell you, Paul Is. You

(17:03):
have to watch you. Paul fine bum because there's a
lot of things that he does and he'll be stone cold,
sears face and he's got his tongue firmly in his
cheek the entire time. I have a lot of respect
for him and the success he's had, and he's been
good to us always back in the Rick and Bubba
days and has continued with the Rick Burgess Show and

(17:24):
with Dad's book and all that, But when you look
at that Senate seat and those like he said that
are already running, it's a pretty that's a tough munch
that you'd have to go in and try to beat.
And they're all really conservative, and you know, I mean

(17:45):
the Alabama people. I think would be served well by
any of them. You know, I have a preference, but
I'm not afraid of any of them winning it. I
think i'd be a even with all the name recognition
for that job, I think it would be an uphill climb.
And I think Paul is using this for leverage to
get a better deal with ESPN.

Speaker 5 (18:08):
He also revealed in that same interview with Play Travis
that ESPN shut down acts a potential Trump interview in
twenty nineteen that he was setting up before the LSU
Alabama game.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
That he also said that Charlie kirk death really impacted
him and that's kind of what started this whole thing.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Is it gonna run as a Democrat or a Republican?

Speaker 3 (18:28):
I would assume Republican back.

Speaker 7 (18:31):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
I don't care. I mean to me, I'll go this far.
If you are a man or a woman and you
truly love your spouse, and they've been married how long now?
Nineteen years? Nineteen years? That nineteen according to that, And
you're all into business and you've had to put on
a good face every time you life gets naked again

(19:01):
in another movie, okay, and you keep talking about how
it doesn't bother you, and you know, hey, man, that's
just her job. But suddenly I think you think we've
been married nineteen years. You're a well established actress. You
don't need to you don't need to take another role
the rest of your career if you don't want to,
and you can probably be pretty picky on the roles
that you take. And she keeps taking these roles. Now

(19:24):
I haven't seen them, but as i've seen, I've understood
the storylines, and you know, you see like the movie
Traider and some of this stuff that's on like Netflix
and some of these others, and you're like, she seems
like she's taking a lot of roles where she's been
a little a little.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Weird. It's weird.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
I don't want, I don't know what to say to
be they seem very lude, they seem to be sexually weird,
and it just doesn't seem just doesn't seem necessary. And
I'm not saying that's the problem. That might have nothing
to do with it, but I just think at some point,
I don't know how any more times I can keep
talking about, well, you know, she's an actress and I'm

(20:03):
a musician, and we're both in there business and this
is just part of it. I really think it would
be difficult to watch your spouse not just be you know,
pretending to be romantically involved in somebody in a story,
but but going into some pretty lude, soft porn kind

(20:24):
of I think I'd get tired of that. I don't
of course my wife wouldn't do that, but I'm talking
about I don't think. I don't know how much song
I can keep putting on a good face with that.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
It's yeah, it's like, why why are you gravitating to
these roles? Like you can pick any exactly, you can
pick any type of role. Maybe maybe not the top
of the top of the top blockbusters right now, but
really any type of role you want to play, a lawyer, whatever.
And just so people don't think I'm like stretching this.

(20:55):
Her last movie they call an American erotic thriller film.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yeah, right, So so.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
Mary poppint something.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, well you get back.

Speaker 5 (21:09):
So reading up on the story we have, they're they're
saying that Nicole does not want this, that she's not
save the marriage. Uh and but but both sides aren't
given the full reason that Now. People close to Keith
Urban friends are like, this is not a surprise. They
have been living separate since the beginning of this summer

(21:32):
and they saw it coming.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
But you know, hmm, so.

Speaker 5 (21:40):
This is weird that they have a relationship where they
do not text. Its voice only and that's the way
they communicate. We don't text.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Well, yeah, we call you hate to see marriage, you know,
break up, especially after nineteen years and two kids and
all that and then being in their fifties. Fifties now
just seems.

Speaker 7 (22:01):
Bizarre, but it does.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
It does. But there you go another you know, can
you all right let me ask you this. Do you
know how we say sometimes when somebody goes on in
and they're like in their nineties, we say, hey, they
made it. Yeah, do you look at this on a
celebrity standpoint, go, I hate y'all bust it up. But
nineteen years yeah, that's like a celebrity record. Yeah, you're right.
So so, and I don't pretend to know the reasons,
but I'm with the addler. I found it odd. I

(22:24):
remember thinking, why would you be taking these kind of
roles this late in your career. It just seems it
does You're almost sixty years old, and you know, it's.

Speaker 5 (22:33):
Just it does seem like from the outside, not knowing
anything that Keith like, hey, I'm done with this, and
then she's.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Like, well, no, true narcissist. No, I want to be
with you, but I'm gonna keep doing all this stuff,
you know, And he's like, no, I'm out her appearance too.

Speaker 6 (22:48):
I mean, I know this has nothing to do but
because Hollywood. But the work she's had done, it's like
when she talks, her lips don't move.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah you know that. Greg. You and I discussed this
yes to day when we were hanging out with mom.
By the way, we were both hanging out with Mom yesterday.
I noticed she yeah, yeah, it was it was great
and we're having funds them. But as soon as I
was suspending some quality time with Mom, here comes Greg
showing up. Can me right out? What are you doing here?
But anyway, we were discussing, and I know we talked

(23:17):
about it way back in the Rick and Bubby years.
We don't know why Priscilla Presley with that with that name,
with that name, would have plastic surgery in her garage.
I've never understood that they turned her into. I mean,
she looks like a marionette. Her lips look like you
know how puppet marionette has that up and down like
her lips. It looks like somebody made her into a

(23:39):
puppet face. You were, Silla Pressley, I mean, could you
not have done find somebody better than that them guys
off that TV show? Yeah, I know you got you.

Speaker 5 (23:49):
With these feelers that they put right here under their eyes.
It's like, look, yes, like she's somebody knocked her in
the face and.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
She's all swollen.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah, right that that they then Nicole, I'm sorry, but
sometimes when they go a little heavy on this, sometimes
it gives them a little bit of like an evil witch.
Look it does, it does.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
I'll go Gregg and I made this announced yesterday and
we make it here on the show. Ladies. The lip
stuff never works, Yeah, it never works. No one's ever
pulled the lip thing off. Leave your lips along, whatever,
whatever you try on your lips, it never works. Just
leave them alone. Look, they're better the way that God
made you leave those lips along.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
Yeah, aging, aging is fine. It's it's when you try
to totally stop aging, you get weird. I think weird
things happen. That's worse than aging. Sometimes, you know, we've
seen it. It's way worse than aging. And a lot
of a lot.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Of times no it is, yeah and so uh and
something's wrong with each Some people are saying that that

has dropped eight they're calling it a staggering sixty four
percent from that night. From that night, which meaning meaning
they didn't come back. They came to look at the
car WRECT people tuned in and went, oh, that's why

But he's he's the torch bearer for free speech and
he's a hero. Oh wait, I tune in. It sounds
like MSNBC. Right, Okay, yes, I'm done with that.

Speaker 1 (26:02):

Sanders great great great nephew. That's three great of them,
three greats. So boy, he did some work, didn't he.
He says, KFC blocked him, probably because they thought you
were crazy. They probably thought you were some madman, and

(27:32):
they got tired of hearing from you. They blocked him.
So he has now he claims that he is now
leaked the world famous chicken recipe.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
I have facts.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
And receipts to back up my recipe. Rick, grab my
my channel. Here we got audio of the great great
great nephew.

Speaker 11 (27:51):
Okay, Kentucky Tarry Chicken has blocked me on social media. Now,
those who are new on Colonel Sanders great great great nephew,
I'm the last Sanders in his family line. Over the
last decade, they have sexualized my uncle for marketing purposes.
They have encouraged fans to sexualize him as well. My
response to Kentucky Fried Chicken blocking me is, do you

(28:11):
want to know how to make their chicken truly? Generally
their chicken? This recipe I put together through facts. So
let Kentucky Fried Chicken deny this. If they do, I'll say,
prove it. I have faction receipts. Back up my recipe,
show us what yours is?

Speaker 1 (28:26):
For some reason, the strange encounter, strange stranger things, stranger things,
not strange stranger things. Yeah, theme is underneath in there.
What is sexual sexualized? What uncle? He had a few
you know, erotic outfitsy Warder, I'm kidding, is eybody noticed

(28:48):
this sexualizing of Colonel I think we're going to realize
this guy is crazy. You know what you know what
the mistake he thinks that every time he sees Glenn
Becky thinks it's his uncle. You know, back did turn
into Colonel Sanders for a brief time for a period.
But do you really think his great great great great
nephew would have the recipe? I do not.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
And now he's also he's claiming to be his great
great but he's got a Mississippi string town.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
Great great great great great great.

Speaker 12 (29:19):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Anybody here, I just want to throw this out. Don't
me any disrespect. I got got a lot of respect
for KFC and their success and I got and they
got a good product. Anybody really want the recipe?

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Really?

Speaker 1 (29:30):
I don't want to go through all you want to
just go by it? Yeah? Do you want to be
at home trying to make that pull that off? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Here it is. So he's got it on the screen.
Sage and clothes and nutmeg and cinnamon and cayenne, orienters right,
ginger garlic powder.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
This is like a lot of trouble. Yeah, I'm not
going through go through the drive through and get it.
Yeah right right, somebody I'm texting, They said, I guess
you'll miss him. They put out the KFC thonged, Yeah,
I missed that sexualized his uncle. It's weird. Yeah, I
mean about the fact that he thinks that's being done
feels a little odd to me.

Speaker 5 (30:05):
You know, growing up Sunday after church, if my parents
ever said, hey, we're going to get a going to
get a bucket of chicken, I thought, well, man, it's
been a good week.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
It has.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Oh wait a second, you know.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
You're rolling buffet. You're rolling one.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
With no guys. I forgot there was that ad campaign
where he was like young and buff and like rips
his shirt off. This was an actual KFC ad campaign.
When this article is from twenty nineteen.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Okay, I don't remember this well. I remember the controversy
of the actors playing him. Yeah, there was the guy
that was that I thought he had the only medians
and stuff.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
Yeah, is that Colonel Sanders or a Chippendale's dance.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
I've never seen this commercial that you didn't watch it
all come together? The guy when they sexualized Colonel Sanders.
You're not gonna believe this. Nicole kidman start right, she
actually signed up for a commercial. Yeah, yeah, so I
don't know that. That just seems never knew that, and
we talked about this before many many times over our

(31:10):
years of working together. But I tend to stay with
the original recipe. I don't go to extra. I like
the crispy. I mean, I don't mind extra. Christy mis
understand me. Yeah, I like. But I usually just say
i'll have the original, police, I'll have the you know,
the three piece all watch well, I'm hungry right now.

Speaker 6 (31:28):
But in Jacksonville, where they had of buffet or they
shut the whole thing down, I don't know how you
could get both. I would get a crispy and original.
Oh who said, well it was on the buffet, Just
grab what you want. Yeah, buffets are over here.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
They don't do that anymore, I said, But they used
to do they still anybody still got probably not. It
was solid gold. It was like I say, you can
get I'm a little original, I'm a little crispy. I
remember back when we first started the early days of
the Rick and Bubba Show, and Bubba and I found
a KFC in Gadsten that was doing the buffet. We
I mean we thought we'd going we thought we were

(32:00):
going to chig in Heaven. I mean we had you
think we didn't hit on. So uh, he's us chicking
you on? But that was old Rick. I don't, I don't.
I don't eat like that anymore. I try not to
unless I were rich rich Wingo and he makes us
all eat dessert.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
Right. They the fake nephew or whatever, real nephew Colonel
Sanders maybe onto something that even had a dating simulator
called I Love You Colonel Sanders.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
I don't remember any of this.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
This this is all like I don't have AFC side projects.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
I don't remember that any of this at an of it.
It didn't work, No, and nobody wants that. Do you
remember want Colonel Sanders.

Speaker 5 (32:37):
Do you remember the gentleman that was in our audience
that would always go to the Titans games and he
looked just like Colonel Sanders. Yes, and County I used
to pass time because we would we would catch up
and talk prior to some of the Titans games because
they would have him look exactly.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
I mean, it was really almost scary, it was. And
now a lot of people don't know this. It's just
been announced Colonel Sanders is leaving the entire industry and
running for Senate. Oh right, so they Oh, there are
some KFCs that have. Somebody on my way home, somebody said,
they're not confident that it's still all you can eat, though,

(33:16):
but it I mean, you're not in a hurry. Sometimes
sometimes the best lunches are when you're just buy your
shift is eating like a I'll tell you what. What's
what's weird about it? You know that the real colonel,
when he was still alive before they sexualized him in
his great it's.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
Way worse than I realized. That clearly did a whole
Chippendale's parody.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
It's Chickendale's, Okay, I I owe the the fake nephew
and an apology. I didn't know about it, oh I did.
I don't.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
I did not remember that it's real. Chicken Dale's was
a whole thing they did. They sexualized the Carl.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
Not that's kind of believe it. Maybe I just don't
want to believe it. Chicken Dal's is funny. Somebody in
the meeting said, hey, what about this?

Speaker 3 (33:56):
What about Nicole Camevin? Please call me down.

Speaker 5 (34:00):
I know that, my goodness, I didn't know a KFC
in Huntsville. That's right around where jac used to live.
And he didn't even know what.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
There's a buffet up there, the real, the real Colonel standers.
You remember, he got really mad about their mashed potatoes,
but I always liked them. I liked it. I remember
he didn't like them. He said it tastes like wallpaper
past Yes, yeah, he got real mad about it, but
I always thought they were great. Are they doing okay?
They're still hanging in.

Speaker 6 (34:25):
There, so yeah, you'll say around a lot of chicken
options out there, a lot of chicken options.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
I mean, they really did sexualize the colonel, like they're
ripping off pants. I didn't know tear away pants. I
did not know that, like chicken logos on the back
side of the pants. Sound like horrified by looking at
this commercial. They sexualized the car. Oh my goodness, it's
nothing sacred.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Larry says, KFC in Dublin has a buffet. He don't know.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
We were discussing something like this just in the break.

Speaker 10 (35:06):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Heybird, hey burd Uh. I would have appreciated a heads up.
Apparently Greg came to our church this weekend. Well Greg,
I didn't know that. I'm not sure. He said. I
was serving on the usher team. Uh. It was the
morning service after we took attendance and the pastors start
on the sermon coffee. Uh kind of calls me to

(35:28):
have to run to the restroom real quick, as another
usher apparently had the same call. He got to the
urinal before me. So I went into the stall only
to find that, believe it or not, someone had left too.
So no, he says, he says, hey, birch, who does

(35:49):
that at church?

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Shirt?

Speaker 3 (35:53):
Well he got a.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Sick twisted at church, double soaking church. No way he
was expecting that. I bet he know he fell down?

Speaker 2 (36:04):
What church?

Speaker 1 (36:09):
That's bold right now? I don't know. Maybe somebody was
late for their Sunday school class and they didn't Maybe
wasn't on purpose, on purpose? Well, dropping go, I mean,
but that's a good coming home, Greg Church All. Can't
you believe he sent that to the email? By the way,
that's the fruit of you. Okay, okay, funny, Hey bird

(36:32):
hay Birds don't need to do Greg Schure. Yeah, let's
let's don't do. Hey bird, hay Birds must be non denominational. Uh,
I heard you mentioned Bad Bunny performing at the Super
Bowl in February. Apparently the halftime show could possibly include
a drag queen show. In fact, Bad Bunny Mouse so
be a drag queen? Really have you covered this? Uh?

(36:55):
When he said, but I didn't hear the full story.
And then the more I've looked, apparently Bad Bunny is
known to dress in drag? Has the NFL lost all
sense of decency? God, please help our country and our kids?
I mean, and I saw Jason Whitlock. He was going
off about on Bladze TV. He was saying, what in

(37:19):
the world I didn't know that? I had no idea of, Like,
I've never even heard of Bad Bunny. Don't don't have
any desire to know anything about Bad Bunny. Won't won't
watch that. Here's here's Babylon b NFL hoping to win
back conservatives with Super Bowl performance by Spanish speaking man
in address Who's in charge? I don't know. I can't understand.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
I get it.

Speaker 6 (37:42):
Maybe it's hard to some of the bigger names don't
want to deal with it and all that, But I mean,
Casey in the Sunshine are still out there. We've seen
the video and I would like to see fat Casey guys.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
I'm so greg that is as opposed.

Speaker 5 (37:54):
To this, and we know, as we talked about it,
yesterday we talked about his you know, anti Trump's dance
and stuff, but I didn't know lyrically some of the
stuff that he's saying huge. Oh yeah, we talked about
that he is the largest, I mean, the biggest Latin
rapper of all times. But still I don't I don't

(38:17):
understand that the decision making here.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
The IF, the NFL, and again I'm telling you guys this,
this is the same thing that we have covered over
and over again. It's why we adopted broadcasting from the
real world. Once again, I don't know how these marketing
people keep getting in front of the decision makers and
selling them that they're marketing to a world that just

(38:42):
it does not it exists, but it doesn't exist in
a macro it's not a giant audience. And because they're loud,
and because they make demands, and and this this obsession
we have with with trends and with with with drag
quinn and it's just weird. Can I just says it's Look,

(39:04):
it's been around, but our obsession with it is what's
so weird. We've lost all sense of So you're sitting
there going, hey, you know some of the stuff, some
of the woke stuff we've done is the NFL. I mean,
we have people in our audience that give us a
hard time for even mentioning it. Yeah, okay, they are
so they are so done with it and they can't imagine.

(39:24):
And so you're sitting there going, hey, we need to
bring these people back. Somebody says, well, here's what we
could do. Well, we could do a halftime show that
features a guy that dresses in drag and maybe he'll
come out there and part of his show, maybe even
have drag queens, and if we're fortunate, he'll wear a dress.
Can you imagine? Do you not know your audience at all?

(39:45):
I mean here, and this is what Wedlock was so
mad about. You try to sit down, like you said
about the male cheerleader dancers.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
Yeah, you try to sit down.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
This used to be something that Americans dead in our culture.
You had daddy's and their son and they sat down
and they watch the football together. And now we got
to sit down and be exposed to all this garbage.
I mean, we can just say no and not do
it at all, which I don't. I like, I say,
there's one NFL game I watch a year, and that's

(40:15):
the Super Bowl. But I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
deal with this. I mean, I'm not. There just comes
a time where you just go, this is not the
real world. This is absurd. Who makes this decision? Because
I if I'm sitting there and I'm an advertiser and
I am a money making professional sports league, that's what
I want to do. I want the biggest audience I

(40:37):
can possibly have. And we've said this a thousand times.
There are people who say, I wish we'd have a
drag queen show at halftime. They're not a big audience.
They're gonna watch the Super Bowl even if you had,
you know, if you brought out there and did something.
George straight, Okay, Greg, there you go. George Strait's doing
halftime for us. The drag queen people would go, that's

(40:58):
not really my thing. But they're still watching the game.
But let me tell you how many people won't watch
and will get mad if you put a drag queen
show up a lot. You've offended the bit trying to
cater to the smallest audience, which would have been fine
if you just didn't do anything. Just keep it blend,
just make it football and make it some music at halftime.

(41:19):
My goodness, maybe we need to go back to up
with people something. I mean, we've completely I don't understand
the mindset of how stupid the marketing is from the NFL.
They're just stupid. It's like they can't get out of
their own way.

Speaker 5 (41:35):
I know, I agree, I just don't understand. It seems
like it seems like it's almost like, you know, the
highest grossing movies are these family movies that are nice,
wholesome movies, and they always they always gross the most money.
You know, Hollywood never has understood that, so they try

(41:56):
to get crazier and crazier and then they keep, you know,
just crash at the box office. The NFL, it seems
like they would want to embrace the family and go, hey,
we need to really figure this out and embrace the family.
So let's have a halftime show that everybody can enjoy, well,
I think, and bring everybody in. Instead, you got this
this this rapper that is just vulgar. His lyrics, guys,

(42:20):
I could read you some lyrics and it's not good. Well,
so that's just what he's going to be singing.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
Huh. Text Nation said this May and.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
Again it's in Spanish, so we won't know that.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
Well, here's the thing they're saying. If you notice the
NFL is trying to establish a solid international audience, He's
he's gigantic internationally. So but still if you go get
an international audience by by bringing something like this to
halftime and you lose a lot of your American audience,

(42:51):
are we saying internationally people people in the international people
desire drag queens? I mean, can't we have an international
artist that just does have lewd lyrics and dressed like
a woman, yeah, and then have other guy? There's no
telling what that halftime show is gonna be like, uh
and and maybe they're wise enough not to do all
those things in the actual halftime show. But I didn't

(43:15):
know about all that. I hadn't Alex. I've never heard
of this person. I don't have any desire to know
anything about this person. And this constantly being bombarded by
this one theme of you know, sexually confused men, uh
and and and you know, drag queens. I'm just done
with it. And I don't understand it. I don't know

(43:36):
why any when it became mad, and why this audience
has suddenly, you know, whatever their demands must always be
met and catered to. I'm just done with it and
the NFL does not mean much to my life already,
so me to not be interested in it. It's not
even a sacrifice. Yeah, I mean it didn't. It's not

(43:59):
even a part, big part of my life at all.
So I don't understand it. I really don't. So, uh,
we'll be back. Yeah. No, that's not brilliant when people
are talking about you and they're saying negative things that
that's actually not wise.

Speaker 7 (44:16):

Speaker 1 (44:23):
Okay, Well, just finishing up on the super Bowl we
now have there's a there's a promo promo for it. Yeah,
it's out and apparently the theme is going.

Speaker 7 (44:31):
To be bad.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
Yeah maybe that maybe we're on to something. Yeah, maybe
we don't understand.

Speaker 5 (44:36):
Maybe now we know why he was booked. Okay, yeah,
take a listen.

Speaker 12 (44:39):
Here it is get ready for the Apple Music super
Bowl sixty halftime show with that Bunny Baby special guest,
Bad Baby for US, Bad Company, bad Religion, bad Finger,
bad English, bad Brains, and a bad Michael Jackson's tribute band.

(45:01):
He's a Super Bowl sixty halftime show as usual. The
day after everyone will say it was bad.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
There we go. You know, it's jay Z's bunch has
been booking these things. It's twenty nineteen Rock Nation. Well
we'll see, all right, Trump, big, big, big victory fro
Trump here. Trump, you know has been these defamation lawsuits
and stuff with you know, him being banned and all

(45:30):
this off different social media platforms. So it looks like
YouTube is going to have to give Trump twenty four
point five million dollars. Hello, they suspended his his account
and he he went after them on that, and he's
now won twenty four point five million dollars from YouTube

(45:51):
over that suspension of his account following the Capitol riots
in twenty twenty one. And apparently, uh, this looks like
when the case was heard that that Trump had been
deplatformed unfairly. Wow, how about what you know he's he's

(46:12):
already got a settlement earlier this year from X around
ten million. Uh. And so in the paramount plus CBS
that beta beta twenty five million with meta, So he's
he's racking up random A little sourcer, Now, was that
a real story? Because you know, you never know what's
real and what's not real? Is that now, Charlie Kirk's

(46:34):
widow is going after the View. Oh really, that she's
tired of some of the things that they continue to
say about about her husband and now she is take
action against them. I saw something about that. But then
you go, okay, is that I know that real? Yeah?
So so anyway, so that's that. That is a story today.

(46:56):
And the other story is.

Speaker 3 (46:57):
Across social media. I don't I haven't seen anybody confirm
that in the press, but it is going very viral
on social media. But the press are saying, we can't
confirm it.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
Yeah, okay, and I'm seeing forty million, but I can't.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
Yeah, that forty million number anytime you see that, that
is probably going to be fake. Oh really from yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
So what there's forty being out there always being fake?

Speaker 3 (47:23):
Because that's kind of the story that's getting legs and
keeping going.

Speaker 5 (47:26):
Oh, I see what you're Okay, So it looks like
a satire website started the rumor, and they're saying, here
there's a story saying, no, she did not file a
forty million dollar defamation lawsuit against ABC in the View. Yeah,
because honestly, I don't watch the View.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
But not true. Right after all that, I never heard
them say anything that would have reached that kind of response, right,
you know, jd Vance is letting us all know, and
I see this on text today because some of you
will be affected that work for the federal government, and

(48:05):
we certainly have sympathy for your situation that the government
will will likely head into a shutdown because the more
they keep meeting with the Democrats, it doesn't seem and
this thing has been you know, we've all been through
administrations and Congress and administrations in this government shutdown battle

(48:28):
that always turns into this power play of people trying
to get what they want. And I hate that some
of you get caught in the middle of all this garbage.
But one of the things that the Democrats seem unwilling
to let go is medical care for illegal people in

(48:49):
our country. And one point five trillion. Yeah, so we're
talking about a lot of money for people that are
not legally in our country, providing something for them when
they are not citizens of our country. And then are
the citizens of the country actually having to come up

(49:10):
with the one point five trillion for them, and that
that's really not the role of the government. And you know,
when I was talking with the guy who was playing
James Madison. You might remember James Madison was one of
the first ones to stand up when we had French
people fleeing that revolution and coming seeking refuge in our country,

(49:34):
and people started saying we need to give them stuff,
and James Madison said, well, bo, that's the that's for
private citizens and for the church to do it. Is
not the government's role to get involved in benevolence. That's
not what tax payer money is for. Private citizens in
the church are supposed to handle benevolence, not the government.
And once we stopped and let that standard go, it

(49:56):
just turned into a mass. So that's that's one of
the things. And the Democrats are not willing to let
that go. And once again, and we've seen this on
both sides, we the people get caught in the middle
of political play. This is nothing but Democrats trying to
get people upset with the administration hoping it might help

(50:17):
them in the next election. And so now will they
will they pull off the pr battle that you should
be mad at the Trump administration, not them, I don't know,
you know, we've seen that go different ways in the past.
On government shutdowns. Sometimes administration is made to look bad

(50:37):
other times Congress has made to look bad. So who
will win the pr battle? Because that's all this is.
We'll be right back to stay close. Couple of things.
So we did have some you know, NFL football last night.
Not sure what kind of uniform the Dolphins are wearing.
I asked Ryan Greenwood about that. He said that he

(51:00):
thought they were horrible. But this tyreq Hill thing that
everybody's talking about. He he gets a horrible knee injury,
right and I don't know that. I want to look
at it.

Speaker 3 (51:13):
Here it is the catch tackle on the sideline. He keeps,
he keeps his foot.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
I'm not watching it. So when when he was carted
off the field, it shouldn't been that and here it is,
should not be in that way. When when he got
carted off the field, all of a sudden, he started.
He seemed happy and and many people were like, he's
so thankful he didn't have to play anymore this year
for the Dolphins. Yes, I mean, is that what this is?
I know they won last night, but the crowd is

(51:50):
cheering for him. But watch this right here. Yeah, look
he's just.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
It's literally his hands up in there.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
He's smiling, he's waving at least blowing kisses like I.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
Mean, was he saying thanks to the crowd, or was
saying I don't have to catch anymore.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
Look, I don't have practice Monday. I mean, look at him,
it's here, he's what is this? He had to remain
in the hospital every night. Said he's upbeat. I think
he's glad he didn't have to play anymore this year. Yeah.
Look they're calling it a dislocated knee.

Speaker 3 (52:24):
Come right outside and.

Speaker 1 (52:26):
They're looking at torn ligaments and.

Speaker 4 (52:30):
You know, say it's supposed to point at like noon,
it was like six forty five.

Speaker 6 (52:36):
Oh, come on, ye come right out of the Yeah
there my goodness to take me up and went back again.
Yeah goodness.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
That's it. That's term rights. Uh so so we that's
that's one story uh today, And so that that everybody's
just kind of really confused on the you know, why
is he why is he like celebrating in pointing And
you usually see a player who's out for the season
their heads down, they can't believe their season is over. Yeah,

(53:07):
he just didn't seem to have that attitude.

Speaker 3 (53:09):
Yeah. I think that when you're ohing three and you're
guaranteed seventy two million, and you don't have to play
the rest of the year with tua like this meme says,
I think that's why you celebrate.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
Oh my, that's funny. Yeah. Plus they plus people are
saying also they might have given him something for pain,
a shot or something on the sideline.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
Who might be it might be like this is also.

Speaker 5 (53:32):
Remember both when both training staffs come to your aid,
it's not good.

Speaker 6 (53:36):
No, you remember the woman that sued him because he
was doing tackling drills. Yes, I bet she was grintled
when this happened, right because he took her knee out.

Speaker 1 (53:44):
Yes, he did, which is really weird. That's a weird story.
Weird house. Yeah, get off. Yeah, I remember doing I
was having how do our word this? I had to
have surgery once in a very oh gentles when you

(54:09):
tried to do the thing. Now, this is when I
when when I had I had a part of the
very private part of my body that needed attention. Yeah,
nickname lefty and so uh so anyway, and and and

(54:29):
I was, I was, I was in the hospital and
you're just you're just kind of not you're not digging
the thought of it all. Okay, But it's amazing what
the drugs they give you, you know, like I said,
I don't. I've never really understood the addiction people have
to some drugs, Addiction to the kind of drugs that

(54:52):
get you ready for surgery or get you over surgery.
I understand that that those can have some some I
mean because I mean it's almost like like you're just
like you don't so I'm I'm you're saying, do whatever
you need. Yeah, I'm there, and I'm I'm almost like
ready to run out of the hospital, you know, I'm
like I can't. And sure he's like, just speak calm,
it's not it's not gonna I mean, I'm like, you

(55:13):
don't know what you doing. And then of course never
tell a woman when it comes to private areas that
that that that we that they don't understand. And often
you get a speech of all they go through and
I get and you're like, hey, I'm sorry I brought
it up. So uh So, anyway, the guy comes in
and he goes, all right, we're gonna get something to
start make you feel a little bit better, you know,

(55:35):
just relax you a little bit. And I'm like, okay,
sounds good. So they put a little something in there,
And all of a sudden, the next person comes in,
I mean, he comes back in and he says, you
are to be feeling pretty good right now, mister Burgess,
and I'm like, no, still terrified of having this work done.
He goes, so you don't feel anything? I said, I
do not. He goes, all right, well, let me go

(55:55):
talk to whatever. So when he does that, all of
a sudden another nurse comes in, looks over and I look,
and she goes, what are you doing? She goes, well, i'
gonna go a little something to make him relax. And
she's go did you talk to the other person? And
she's She goes and uh, well, has he had something?
And she's like yes, and she goes, no danger at all.
You're fine. I got news for you. You're You're not

(56:18):
You're about to not care what we do. And all
of a sudden, it's like it started at the top
of my hairline, and it began to come over my body,
soothing me, as if the hand of God had touched
me and just said everything's all right. Burn And and I,
for just a brief I felt like I thought, well,
as people unfortunately say, when it comes to drug addiction.

(56:40):
I don't mean to make light of it, but in
this case, I am. You go, this is the way
I've always wanted to feel. You know, now, you couldn't,
you couldn't be very productive, okay, But I'm just talking
about in that moment, I wouldn't. I wouldn't care if
they were going to come in and work on both
of them, you know what I mean. And it's so
I'm like, when we're gonna get started, and so I'm

(57:01):
sitting there and share it again. So now I become
the happy patient that's getting on everybody's nerves. And sure
he's sure he was doing that. Hey, hey, just calm down.
Hey I feel great now, I'm good. Okay, babe, you
said that you're good. Hey, they got hey, I'm good.
And she's like, it's fine. And then she says, they
come to get me. And she says, for some reason,

(57:23):
you started getting obsessed with giving me a thumbs up.
I kept giving her thumbs up. She goes, Okay, I'm okay, baby,
I'm fine. Don't worry about me. She goes, okay, I can't.
And then she said, you went two thumbs up. She
was They're literally rolling the gurney away and you're coming
over the back person I see two thumbs up over
their shoulder, and I'm like, I see you. You're good, baby,

(57:44):
I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

Speaker 3 (57:46):
I love you, I loved you.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
I love her so much. Tell her I'm gonna be okay.
And she's like, I got it, just please be quiet
thumbs up. Yeah, And and so then all of a sudden,
you know, you go in there and everybody's like trying,
and you don't even care. It's fine what you do,
mister burgess, could you We didn't want you to take
all your clothes off?

Speaker 10 (58:07):
Now?

Speaker 1 (58:07):
Yeah, I'm ready, mister please cover yourself just a little bit.
You know, I'm not taking it and throw it off.
I can getting out of bed, you know. I mean,
there they are, go at it, and you have your fun,
and you so then don't have your fun. Go ahead,
whatever you have to do. What do you think's wrong

(58:30):
with it? You know I'm doing all that and look
at that, look at it. Wow, it's worse than I thought.

Speaker 3 (58:39):
Both of these.

Speaker 1 (58:40):
Anybody have a mirror one that you don't care what
happens to it, you know, And so that that was
I didn't I didn't care at all. I really didn't happy,
if you remember, And that was the one where I
kept annoying the surgeon to the point that he said
he literally said, I regret giving you my cell phone
because when I was There's been a lot of people

(59:00):
say that when I when I was, when I was recovering,
I can't checking with him saying we're still and you
finally remember you finally got on me. Can I walk
you through what I just did. It's gonna take a minute. Okay, yeah,

wrong with you. Just watch TV and go get some
more frozen peas. You're fine, You're good. It's gonna take
a minute. Relaxed, Hey, doc's Rick? Please still swollen? Well yeah,

(59:26):
well you'll do that. Remember when you ro rotator start
talking about it. Anyway, we'll be back down. Oh yeah,
you're right, So we'll come back more to cover. We're
still got a check in with Adler. See how this
weekend went? Yep, a rolling back into the show. Today

(59:48):
had yesterday, Yeah, slept on the day bed, hanging out
with some dude.

Speaker 3 (59:54):
Yeah, but it was a sweet car bed.

Speaker 7 (59:57):
Is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
So after a week off, Strange Encounters back this weekend,
So look for episode sixteen wherever you get podcasts coming
out this weekend. Okay, So Adler is back and that's
one of the reasons that we were we didn't do
a Strange Encounter is this weekend. Adler and I both
had an active weekend coming up. We had a lot

(01:00:27):
going on, and so we took a week off. But
it's back this week. But Adler is back.

Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
How was your trip, buddy, Guys, guys, guys, thank y'all
again for covering giving me the time.

Speaker 4 (01:00:39):
Really nice, really really great. Well, this is, first of all,
thank you beauty.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
This is the beauty of four men against the world.

Speaker 3 (01:00:45):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
You know, we look out for each other and we
make things happen, and we try to give ourselves some
risk and be there for important engagements. And this was
an important engagement that you needed to go to and
for your friend, and we're glad.

Speaker 3 (01:01:00):
Yeah, it was great. And this is kind of a sidebar,
but I appreciate y'all kind of being incognito about it.

Speaker 4 (01:01:08):
I don't really like the world knowing when I'm gone,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:01:13):
So that's why I don't I don't post really on
social media about it and all that stuff. It's a
weird time and so you know, it's it's just a weird.
But the plan was me and a bunch of dudes
going out, toys going out to La.

Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
La La Land, Dirty and the boys heading out to
La Land and buddy of mine.

Speaker 3 (01:01:34):
It was more of like an informal wedding party. It
wasn't like an actual wedding Like there was football on
in the background at this gathering.

Speaker 4 (01:01:43):
So that was that was great. I didn't have to
go to like sit and wedding style. No, it was
a wedding party.

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
Wait a minute, were there already? Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
Yeah, So the plan was Friday, we saw in good food,
go to Yes Friday, we fly in, get there in time,
and I wanted to miss as little work as possible.
I wanted to be gone for my family as little
as possible. I'm in a weird spot now.

Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
When I went all the way to Los Angeles.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Well that's why I worked Friday morning because there was
an earlier flight Friday I could have gotten, but I
needed to be here to do things, set up things
to kind of let it roll through through Friday and Monday.
So you guys know, I left work, went straight to
the airport, rode my skateboard all the way up to
the security line. Because the skateboard I've had for like

(01:02:35):
almost ten years, this electric skateboard that you guys know about. Yeah,
I've had it for about ten years now, and it
was actually specifically made to be able to fly. The
TSA FAA limit is like one hundred milliamp hours and
they literally built it at ninety nine so that it's
under the TSA FAA limit of what kind of batteries

(01:02:56):
you are allowed to have, so that I can bring it,
I can fly through airports. Get up. I mean, it's
it's awesome. It was, It's fantastic. I'm raising I've flop
flown with it like dozens of times.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
I'm raising my hand. Yeah, so you want to take
the skateboard?

Speaker 5 (01:03:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't just want to just just
get out and walk with everybody else.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
Well, see, I I go out and do my own thing.
I go cruising. I hit the town every time. With
this skateboard. I then can go see the town and
I've done that. I've done that in tons and tons
of places.

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
What do you do with it when you're on the plane.
Where do you store it?

Speaker 3 (01:03:29):
It can go in the overhead. And my bag is
small so that I'm really only taking up one bag slot.
I just backpack only. I'm a single guy, backpack only.
And I even have a fan in there. I've got
an emotional support fan. Yes, my wife calls it. My
my wife calls it my emotional.

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
Support carried around.

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
Yes, yes, right in there. California. They don't have they
don't have fans. They don't have fans. It's in California.
You just opened the windows. Yes, I saw one mosquito.
We had the windows open all all weekend long. One
I saw the mosquito temperature perfect, like it was seventy

(01:04:12):
the whole time.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
Okay, because my son is doing a million dollar quartet
again in Ventura, California, and I'll look. I looked at
it was seventy degrees where he Wasn't that I wanted
to be where he was.

Speaker 3 (01:04:23):
It's like, you don't need in California the sweater. You
need a three quarter length sleeve on and you're you're great.
It was fantastic.

Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
Back to skateboard one.

Speaker 3 (01:04:31):
Yes, Yes, because that's a big part of the story.

Speaker 1 (01:04:34):
People on the plane, do they look at you weird
when you put it up in the top?

Speaker 3 (01:04:37):
I get nods from kids. Nice bro.

Speaker 4 (01:04:41):
I'm like thanks, I'm forty appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:43):
I'm a cool dad.

Speaker 4 (01:04:44):
I'm not a regular dad.

Speaker 1 (01:04:45):
I'm a cool dad. Well you had that at the hair.

Speaker 3 (01:04:47):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
So when you check through TSA, they had a fan.
I'm not a fan. And I'm sure they're like, why
does this guy have a fan? You disconnect the batteries
and all that so that they're an a skateboard. Yes, okay,
and think I'm cool and like that guy knows how
to travel. I'm like, yes, So the fans for when
you're like sleeping, Yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (01:05:06):
Every time.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
With the skateboard, I sleep.

Speaker 3 (01:05:09):
That's my pillow, Yes on it we got. But so
that that all goes.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
Good.

Speaker 4 (01:05:16):
Flight out of Birmingham, great. My layover is in Las Vegas.

Speaker 3 (01:05:21):
Oh, nice, I have I have about I have about
I think it's supposed to be an hour, right, in
an hour? That's great? And we land. We land in
Vegas and there's a little little delay on the on
the plane, on the plane and we're like, okay, that's fine,
it's it's forty five minutes. It's fine. Let's go eat lunch.

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
You got time for that.

Speaker 3 (01:05:44):
So me and the guys we go eat lunch and
then we get in another text a little okay, another hour,
all right, that's fine. We've actually allotted like a five
six hour cushion to get to this concert. Because are
you going to going to a concert Friday night? Yes,
at the famous Hollywood Bowl you guys. I actually got

(01:06:08):
the tickets to this because the guys that I'm going
with we're all turning forty and so it's we've been
planning this for like nine months and it all worked out.
Wedding party. So it's football wedding party. And then on Sunday,
we're actually going to a football game. Rams game. Yeah,
I didn't know. Yes, Well, I don't like to talk
about it because I don't like people knowing when I'm

(01:06:30):
out of town, so to us, like the friend even know,
blab about it, y'all, y'all, blab, y'all, get on there,
there's the Rams will be there on Sunday. That's what
you sow.

Speaker 1 (01:06:42):
It was bad, Bunny pretty good.

Speaker 3 (01:06:44):
Bunny was great, okay, and so actually, uh in I'm
in Las Vegas Airport.

Speaker 1 (01:06:50):
So this this delay is creeping up the concert.

Speaker 3 (01:06:53):
We're now looking like, okay, it's gonna be a little
tight getting because we initially wanted to go. Uh there's
a hike right by the venue called Bryson Bryson Trail.
You can hike up this thing and you can see
the entire downtown. You can see the Hollywood Sign from there.
I actually bought our tickets so that in our seats
in the Hollywood Ball, this gigantic thing, we could see

(01:07:13):
the Hollywood Sign U through through the hills there. There's
because there's certain seats where you can see the Hollywood Sign.
They're up in the nosebleeds, which worked great too. I
just wanted to see the venue, wanted to see the area.
I really didn't even care about the artist.

Speaker 1 (01:07:26):
That's where on that special see.

Speaker 3 (01:07:29):
That would have been a lot better. And you saw
the band I was supposed to supposed to was this.
It's it's like an old school low five dance music
called LCD sound System. Hipsters love them. Hipsters really like them.
They're honestly a little bit too hip for me. They're

(01:07:50):
even a little bit too hip for me. But because
like you know the history of the venue and like
that it's a big group. This will be funny.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
It's LSD.

Speaker 4 (01:07:57):
What it's not LSD, my goodness, l c D a
type of display.

Speaker 3 (01:08:04):
That's a type of display. What you said is something else.

Speaker 1 (01:08:07):
I didn't know.

Speaker 3 (01:08:08):
Okay, all right, So one hour at a time, they
keep backing us. I don't know if you'll have been
to the Las Vegas Airport before. It is the worst
airport in the country. Really, it's like they designed it
so that you can't look out and free and be
free and feel good about your life in any way.
The whole airport is filled with either no no one

(01:08:31):
is happy in the Las Vegas because they've either destroyed
their lives because of their gambling problem, or they can't
wait and they gotta go game.

Speaker 1 (01:08:39):
We gotta go game.

Speaker 3 (01:08:39):
We gotta go gamble that, or you know, exotic dancers
heading home and explaining how they're making money. You know,
I've got an administrative assistant job.

Speaker 7 (01:08:50):
Do you do?

Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
You do? Uh?

Speaker 5 (01:08:55):
It?

Speaker 3 (01:08:55):
It's an odd place, guys. It is very dystopian being
in the Las Vegas Airport.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
So you're just sitting in there rotten.

Speaker 3 (01:09:04):
They kept pushing it back.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
Oh, don't get me started.

Speaker 4 (01:09:08):
Y'all want to know how long I was stuck in
that airport? Nine hours?

Speaker 1 (01:09:13):
That's not true.

Speaker 4 (01:09:13):
What nine hours?

Speaker 3 (01:09:15):
What nine hours? I was stuck in the Las Vegas
Airport hours? Missed the concert, miss totally.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
I got home.

Speaker 3 (01:09:25):
It's not It's.

Speaker 7 (01:09:28):
And the Boys is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (01:09:37):
Adler is in the middle of a story. He traveled
with some of his guy friends to a wedding party
out in Los Angeles. They had big plans, go to
the Hollywood Bowl, go see a concert, do a little hiking,
spend some time together as dudes. And you know, when
you have a tight window like this, god forbid that

(01:10:00):
the airline ticket that you paid for actually get you
where you're going, somewhere close to the time. And of
course it couldn't happen in a better place. The wonderful,
the wonderful atmosphere of the Las Vegas Airport. It's almost
like someone's put you there to test your willingness to
continue to use airports. Yes, I mean it is a horrible,

(01:10:23):
miserable place. And they start the world famous commercial airline
delay you an hour, delay you another hour, delay you
another hour and Adler. You TOAs going to the break.
They delayed you nine hours.

Speaker 3 (01:10:36):
Yeah, just nine. It wasn't ten.

Speaker 1 (01:10:39):
And a car ride to Los Angeles from Vegas is
how long?

Speaker 4 (01:10:44):
I think it's around four hours something like that, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:10:47):
So, yeah, we're driven there and back.

Speaker 3 (01:10:49):
Could have driven their back caught the concert. But they
don't tell you when it's one o'clock, when it's one pm.
They don't tell you, hey, we're going to delay you
for nine hours. They just did just kind of rain
drop you, one little drip drop at a time, like torture. Yes,
like Chinese water torture.

Speaker 5 (01:11:05):
No pun intended. Weather was the problem, right, you're connecting
flight from the other city.

Speaker 3 (01:11:10):
My luck is it rains in Phoenix and a little
bit in Las Vegas. But Phoenix, I understand, was the
problem because it wasn't that rainy in Vegas. I'm looking
out the window.

Speaker 1 (01:11:19):
I'm like, I can see the desert.

Speaker 3 (01:11:20):
I can see the sun. Yes, my luck is that
it rained in the desert once a year and I
caught that day.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
Did you of course, I don't know how rain stops
to fly, But did you did you overcome rain? Yeah?
I've phoned in rain. Did you or anyone in your group,
be honest, start thinking you could have something.

Speaker 3 (01:11:41):
Oh we think we think we're good. Yes, we think
we're fine. And then we're like, oh, okay, And that's
the first mistake there that slowly dwindles away. Yes, And
I got an email from somebody saying, hey, the Vegas
airport is great. You can look out. You can see
them working on your plane and all this stuff. The
Las Vegas Airport is not good. Every angle hall is skinny.

Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:12:02):
There's there's slot machines in the airport for some reason,
and if you don't like slot machines, there's nothing else
for you. There are surprisingly few windows where you can
actually see out. Yeah, I don't want you to know
what time it is.

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
And we're trapping that gambling world.

Speaker 3 (01:12:20):
Right, It was yeah to me every and I was
always trapped in like you know, they'll be like your
gate's this a gate change or whatever, so you kind
of have to stay in the sea area. I was
in the sea area for nine hours, y'all. The very
first time we went from one side of the air
the Vegas Airport to the other. I've got my skateboard,
so I'm i'm I'm flying I'm like, yeah, we go

(01:12:43):
on to the next plane. Yeah, I didn't know that
I was going to have nine hours to do that.
Like the tenth time, I yeah, the tenth time I'm
skating around the airport, I'm like, this isn't as fun anymore?

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
Are there places there? I mean a kind of variety
of something to eat.

Speaker 3 (01:13:00):
We ate lunch there, and we were joking, ha ha ha,
the only one meal in this airport today, guys. Somebody
said that at the it was Joe c jo Josie
should not have said that, because we definitely ate dinner
at the airport.

Speaker 1 (01:13:15):
Is Joe ce his name or is it Joe and
then C is last name? Because you got to jokes,
you know how it works.

Speaker 3 (01:13:20):
And we all got nicknames like de Bone, Yoda, I'm Yoda,
so it's got Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:13:27):
You know, of course I'm so wise, I think is
why they call me.

Speaker 1 (01:13:30):
Probably that's it a skateboard. I broke. At what point
y'all start, y'all start pounding for you.

Speaker 3 (01:13:38):
Crazy an hour drink? I had to.

Speaker 1 (01:13:43):
I had to.

Speaker 3 (01:13:44):
I had to remind a buddy of something. They won't
let you on the plane if you they have a
rule if you are visibly and you're getting visibly. Yeah,
but you can't use the wheelchair and audibly. You're getting
audibly and visibly you know what?

Speaker 1 (01:13:59):
And when someone is to the point where you need
to say it. Unfortunately, that point also means they're not
overly eager to receive.

Speaker 10 (01:14:06):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:14:07):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no wow. Oh
my gracious no.

Speaker 10 (01:14:13):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:14:13):
I'm sorry for these little sidebark questions. Have you always
been Yoda to them since since high school?

Speaker 10 (01:14:18):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:14:18):
I just made that up. Yeah I know, yeah, oh yeah, sorry,
I just made up the Yoda thing. I think it's
because I'm so strong and small and powerful.

Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
Yes, I do, I do.

Speaker 3 (01:14:30):
I tried to do a Yoda thing and then I
lost there. Guys, the airport was or that our plane
was supposed to take off during the day, and I
thought a six hour buffer, a six hour buffer would
be enough to catch the concert. It wasn't. We totally
missed the concert.

Speaker 4 (01:14:48):
American Airlines it was Southwest, y'all.

Speaker 3 (01:14:52):
This is this is not this is not daytime. This
is nighttime. Here's my plane taking off. But I did
get to see their Yeah. Crazy is that sphere though? Guys,
Like I'm leaving town and you just look at it
and you're like, that thing doesn't make sense to your
eyes look at it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:10):
But wow, it was dark outside. Yes, I mean you
realize how long you got to go for it to
be dark in Vegas.

Speaker 3 (01:15:17):
Yes, I was supposed to take off in the one
o'clock hour and I took off in the ten o'clock hour,
ten pm.

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
That's awful.

Speaker 3 (01:15:26):
It was.

Speaker 4 (01:15:26):
It was horrible, and it's so dystopian in there.

Speaker 3 (01:15:29):
The amount of botched plastic surgery women walking around place.
You feel like you're in like some weird alien dystopian world.
It's horrible.

Speaker 1 (01:15:40):
Cannot Yes, hey guys, miss the LSD concert CD.

Speaker 3 (01:15:45):
It's not LSD. Please stop saying that LCD and what
LCD sound system is the name of the band. It's
this super hipster dance. You missed it, but I missed it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:54):
Yes, you were ready to dance. So at what point
do you just give up? Go Okay, that's it. We're
not getting to the consolet.

Speaker 3 (01:16:01):
Well you see it slowly going through your fingers, because
at one point we were like, you know, if we
left right now, we could make it in a rental car.
But that's because they've drug you drug you along for
three hours and then you're in this like decision thing.
I looked at other airlines. It would have cost me
two hundred and fifty bucks more, plus I would have
lost the Southwest ticket, and you're just like, okay, I'm
not gonna do that, and ended up I ended up

(01:16:23):
staying away because I had to wake up at four
o'clock Central time for work. I ended up staying up
for over twenty four hours, over twenty four hours by
the time I got because it was, you know, twelve
thirty one o'clock. Now it's one thirty and I'm getting
in bed at one forty five. But that's one forty
five California time. It is now I've now hit four

(01:16:46):
am Central, So it was.

Speaker 9 (01:16:48):
It was a.

Speaker 3 (01:16:48):
Horrible start to the day, horrible horrible way to begin it,
and you're just like, okay, this is already not worth it.

Speaker 4 (01:16:55):
What I just went through was already not worth it.

Speaker 5 (01:16:59):
You can't have nothing now the next day, did y'all
have plans starting early? And then now you're tired because
you just got there, so you want to slew in, yes,
and you in your baby bed, so.

Speaker 3 (01:17:08):
Well, yeah, we get to the house. It was really
big house, really nice, plenty of bathrooms. You got to
have bathrooms. Now, the bedroom count is as important as
a bathroom count. Now in this situation, I was not
going to share a bed, so I'm scoping my spot. Yes,
I did see that one of the rooms had a
small day bed in it. It wasn't it wasn't a
race card.

Speaker 1 (01:17:28):
It wasn't.

Speaker 4 (01:17:30):
It wasn't a race car bed, but it was a
smaller bed.

Speaker 1 (01:17:35):
They're always fourteen.

Speaker 3 (01:17:37):
McQueen. Yeah, yeah, so I called it. I just called it.

Speaker 4 (01:17:42):
Okay, it's like, all right, that's got my name written
all over it.

Speaker 3 (01:17:45):
I'll sleep in that.

Speaker 4 (01:17:45):
So that was a skateboardboard, my skateboard.

Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
And that's y'all.

Speaker 3 (01:17:52):
Just the just the white noise, forget the breeze. The
white noise of the fan alone is worth it.

Speaker 1 (01:17:58):
And you for the noise, And what is the most
important to you, noise or breeze. That's a good question,
because they have for the noise.

Speaker 3 (01:18:06):
Well that's true, but it's not as good. It's not
as good.

Speaker 4 (01:18:09):
It's not as it's like, breeze is number one. Yes,
because I can't I can't sleep.

Speaker 3 (01:18:15):
I can put in ear plugs, but I can't make
myself cooler if it's too hot, because the breeze is
number one. Uh, but the white noise. Don't sleep on
the white noise. Actually do sleep during the white noise,
but I did. I still stuck to my plan. I
got up, got on the boosted board, and frankly, sleeping
five or six hours is more sleep than I usually
get nowadays. So that was fine. Got up, got on

(01:18:39):
the skateboard and caught sunrise in California, and I actually
have I've never been to The one time I went
to l A was for work.

Speaker 4 (01:18:47):
It was for what was it Mom's day out?

Speaker 7 (01:18:50):
That correct?

Speaker 3 (01:18:51):
That movie that was coming out? Yeah, uh no, no,
no no, that was the football one wood long woodlong,
thank you, thank you? Okay, wow, Chris, good memory there.
So that was work.

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
That was all work.

Speaker 3 (01:19:04):
I stayed right in the same area, right there on
the Hollywood star Walk of Fame or whatever. The whole
time I was working straight through the airport. I didn't
get to the beach. This time. I went to the beach.
Is sunrise Saturday morning, get on the boosted board, electric skateboard.

Speaker 4 (01:19:18):
Head on out, and we're right in the Venice Beach.
Are you know about it, muscles.

Speaker 3 (01:19:28):
I'm in my element, this is my plate and I
was zoned. Uh So I get out there, and I
will say, the California coast is a lot more. Everybody
talks about California. It's the most beautiful place in the country.

Speaker 1 (01:19:39):
All this stuff.

Speaker 9 (01:19:40):
It was.

Speaker 3 (01:19:41):
It was more beautiful right there than I thought it
would be, if that makes sense. You've got the big beach,
nice views, good waves, and then you've got mountains just
like right there also, and they're beautiful and it's a
nice mix. I was in press.

Speaker 9 (01:20:00):
It was.

Speaker 4 (01:20:01):
It was honestly almost Maui kind of vibes. And I
had not seen that before.

Speaker 3 (01:20:04):
I had not been to the beach in La and
and that was, like I said, in the Venice area
and it was very impressive. So California, I'll give you
that one. Okay, So the revenue is trying to destroy
the state, But the rest of the guys slept in.
But you just went out on your own. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's it ends up happening a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:20:23):
Was there a smell of you on the beach.

Speaker 3 (01:20:25):
No, but I did start by a CVS and did
see a guy try to seal some stuff and then
they had to poke him with a stick.

Speaker 7 (01:20:32):
Oh just show.

Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
So we're talking to Adler. He took a trip to
Los Angeles with some dudes. Uh, some friends of his
celebrating one of their friends marriage and uh, spending some
time together God weekend, and it did not start off well.
Got to Las Vegas, got delayed nine hours, missed the day,

(01:21:00):
he missed the day Hollywood Bowl at the Hollywood Bowl.

Speaker 3 (01:21:03):
But he's up.

Speaker 1 (01:21:03):
He's seen the sun rise.

Speaker 9 (01:21:05):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:21:05):
There he's there at Venice Beach, you know, doing some curls,
riding a skateboard. He's hanging out his muscles. Decided to
go into a CVS and unfortunately saw one try to
You went to the bright you said someone tried to
steal something while you went in. You saw them go
after them with a stick.

Speaker 3 (01:21:21):
So okay, Yeah, I'm cruising around Venice. It's very cool,
very nice.

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
You're a California kid, where a hairing the breeze, loving it. Yes,
did you try to talk to that thief since you
you know how it feels and telling him crime doesn't
pay you learn lesson, Greg. I've got my Smoothie King
T shirt on short change ways. I learned it the
hard way. So look at me, now, me out of

(01:21:46):
the amusement part. I never got to go back.

Speaker 3 (01:21:48):
Thank you, buddy, Thank you so much. Greg was one
of the worst memories of my childhood. Buddy, thank you.
So all right, So I'm cruising around and I need
I need to have sign as surgery, and so every
day I'm using the squeeze bulb and like renting out
my sinuses in the morning and at night so that
I don't get sinus infections.

Speaker 1 (01:22:06):
Well, you're something else I forgotten.

Speaker 3 (01:22:08):
Yes, exact, a neetty kind of thing. But this is like,
I'm so high manis I'm a thousand years old, a
thousand years old.

Speaker 1 (01:22:15):
And you're on a trip by yourself. You would think
you would just go this is.

Speaker 3 (01:22:19):
What this is just the stuff for me. When I
go on the trip with the family, it's so it's
it's crazy, it's even it's crazier. I'm just yes, I'm
the and that's me. I'm the suirpu when it's the family. Uh.
And so I'm like, I gotta get to I gotta
get to an actual pharmacy and grab one of these
squeeze bulb things. Don't want to be getting sick, right,
So I after the sunrise checking it out, and I

(01:22:43):
know that sunrise and sunset sunset is generally the West
Coast thing.

Speaker 1 (01:22:48):
It is that just is.

Speaker 3 (01:22:49):
I had to take my opportunities when I could, and
I don't I love getting out early. Yes, the beach
is empty, the streets are empty, the sidewalks are empty.
I had Venice, the.

Speaker 1 (01:23:00):
Almost alferners, the homeless are still sleeping very.

Speaker 3 (01:23:05):
Yeah, they're that's their sleeping hours, that's their ram sleep hours. Definitely.
I had the Venice fishing pier almost to myself, a
couple of actual fishing fisherman dudes out there. But it
was great, really nice quiet, It's great. And then I
so I get to CVS. I'm trying to find the
little nose flushing thing. Fine one, I'm checking out and

(01:23:28):
then I the guy that's checking me out, an older
Indian man, and he they looked at me when I
came in, thinking I was probably going to steal some stuff.
I was on a skateboard.

Speaker 1 (01:23:39):
Long hair there's there from San Antonio, right.

Speaker 9 (01:23:43):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:23:43):
They see that I'm a pain customer and that you actually,
honestly you feel the everybody relaxed in the place.

Speaker 1 (01:23:49):
I'm not she's good.

Speaker 3 (01:23:51):
Honestly, it was a weird feeling. There was a lot
of stuff behind Glatt, like locked cabinets or whatever. There
was a lot that wasn't. It's so it's like they
figured out items are stolen a lot, you know whatever,
But there was a lot locked away, but there was
still a lot out. I thought everything was going to
be locked up. Indian guy that's checking me out goes, hey,
you you don't stop, and I'm like me, what, No.

(01:24:14):
Another dude comes in and this guy is not looking good.
He's got glasses on, real dark glasses on, no shoes,
and he's just kind of like walking weirdly like this,
you know, walking in kind of bundled up kind of thing.

(01:24:35):
And the guy's like the Indian guy that's checking me,
he's like, you know, out, stop okay, So like they
know of it, they know it, and this guy, this
Indian guy, this guy, and I think it must be
like a little rod that they used to like pull
down the door at the end of the night or something,

(01:24:55):
or it's just their homeless prodder because he then I'm
standing here, I'm waiting like he's already scanned the things
I'm just waiting to put my card in so i
can leave. And the Indian guy walks away and he
starts poking this guy with the stick. You don't get
out of here, and you don't get out, and I'm like,

(01:25:16):
what is happening? And the guy the guy is walking
away from the door. He's not walking to the door,
he's walking away from the door. And he starts just
like kind of getting weird on this display thing. And
the guy's like, no, no, you hit me yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:25:29):
You out of here.

Speaker 4 (01:25:30):
You always steal, so they know this guy always.

Speaker 3 (01:25:37):
An alarm goes off.

Speaker 4 (01:25:39):
He gets kind of disappears around a corner. A woman
comes up. She's like, yes, he's here, Yes, please come now.

Speaker 3 (01:25:45):
She's calling the police. Indian guy still kind of like
jabbing him with a stick, Like, sir, you're prodding him
though not the right direction brought him at least towards
the door. Instead, you're just kind of just prodding him
into the ground. He disappears around a thing and I
don't know what he does. I don't know what he does,
but I hear the woman say, sir, no, the floor

(01:26:07):
is so dirty, sir no, don't do this. I don't
know what in the world. But at the same time,
I'm like, ma'am, you work here, shouldn't that should the
floor be so so dirty?

Speaker 5 (01:26:19):
Like?

Speaker 3 (01:26:19):
Should that be something that you can say? So that
was California CVS.

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
I'm thinking in this situation him not the worst case
scenario of.

Speaker 3 (01:26:29):
What he could have been doing.

Speaker 1 (01:26:31):
Yeah, but she wasn't.

Speaker 3 (01:26:32):
So I get my nose flusher and I get out
of there.

Speaker 1 (01:26:36):
One of the highlights what he's going through.

Speaker 3 (01:26:38):
One of the highlights of what I wanted to check
out was this place right near the house that we're
staying at called Venice Ramen. You guys know, I'm all
about the ramen Ramen for breakfast. That saved the trip. No,
it opened at eleven and I was saved the trip.
It opened at eleven. I was there at eleven fifteen.
It saved that ramen saved the trip. It was you

(01:26:59):
knew who I want wanted to be serving the ramen.
Old old Asian lady can't speak English very good at all.
She better be old, she better be struggling to handy
that ramen, and you know it's going to be good,
And it.

Speaker 1 (01:27:11):
Was real good.

Speaker 7 (01:27:15):
Here's the Rick Burgess show.

Speaker 1 (01:27:22):
All right, So Adler has been on a trip to
l A and we've been following along with him. He
had quite the weekend planned with his guy friends there
for a little wedding party. Uh and and I mean,
I know you've hit us with some of the highlights
of being there, but I mean we're kind of you
went to see the Rams and went to a ballgame.
What else did you do over the weekend?

Speaker 7 (01:27:43):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:27:43):
That that So that's the that's the big weekend ender
is we're going to the Rams Colts game at so far.
I know you guys, I know you guys were wondering
about the ramen, the Ramen noodles that I got And
it was really really good at Venice Ramen.

Speaker 4 (01:27:58):
And yes, the lady was really old that handed it
to me. You wanted to be old struggling almost yeah,
real good almost drop and you're like, yeah, yeah, so
that was great.

Speaker 1 (01:28:08):
That grows you feel that any on the way back
on your skateboard.

Speaker 4 (01:28:12):
Yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (01:28:15):
And then one other thing in Venice, in LA, in
the Venice Beach area, they've got these canals. That's why
they call it Venice Beach. They've actually got canals. It's
a whole canal system that go off the tides, and
there's all these little houses along these canals. And I've
skated and walked all amongst all these canals on Saturday

(01:28:36):
and Sunday and it was really cool. And if you
didn't know about it, now you know about it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:40):
Thank you very much. Doesn't it break your heart for
a place to be a state to be so beautiful
and be so ruined by democrats?

Speaker 3 (01:28:46):
Yes, but yes, And you can tell every person on
their tiny little property a little lot, they actually have
a lot of pride in that. Like there's a lot
of really nice landscaping just in like a ten by
twelve little backyard square of there. There's such nice investment
in people's personal property. But then you see the public
space in this public square just ignored in a lot

(01:29:11):
of ways. You know, you're like gods, it's it's crazy,
and it just shows you how poorly run the state is.
But it is still kind of trucking along because the
people that live there and care about their own personal
private stuff. AnyWho forget that rant.

Speaker 4 (01:29:27):
Sunday, We're going to the rain the game here, I am.

Speaker 3 (01:29:30):
Walking, let's skateboard at walking into scope. Yeah, they won't
let you. Yeah, so walking into Sofi here and y'all
this building. This is the biggest stadium I think I've
ever been in as just as far as footprint and
size and scale. I do love. This is like translucent

(01:29:52):
the covering on the top, so the sun can still
kind of kick through a little bit and you kind
of feel like you're still outside the There's enough fresh
air coming in through so that you don't feel like
you're breathing kind of stale air. Really nice set up,
very very impressive feat of engineering there.

Speaker 1 (01:30:10):
Please tell me you didn't bring your skateboard to this, but.

Speaker 3 (01:30:14):
My buddy actually had something pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (01:30:17):
Lined up for us.

Speaker 1 (01:30:19):
At the game.

Speaker 3 (01:30:20):
At the game, my buddy has has season tickets and
evidently he cashed in every bit of season ticket. What
a guy ever? Credits and guys after the game on
the field.

Speaker 4 (01:30:33):
Yeah, brothers, we got on the field.

Speaker 3 (01:30:38):
How cool was that it was? It was really neat
getting down of the field after the game. I will
say that there is a large part of this that
feels very photo op only does that make sense? Like
this is this is just for people to take pictures
of and post on their social media because we were

(01:31:00):
like one out of like two hundred people that had
to go stand in line to do this. We had
to go get a wristband like during the second quarter
to do this. After the game, we had to go
get a wrist bander the second quarter, and then we
had to like be in line before the game was
even over. So I'm like, hey, what about watching the
game too, Like that's pretty important because I'm here game too.

(01:31:20):
So that was a game, Yeah, big time. I had
to watch. I had because of the line that we
had to be in to go on the field. After
the game, I had to watch the last comeback on
a TV that was like one hundred yards away, and
I'm like, guys, what what is this? And nobody else
that was in line really seemed to care that much,
and so I'm like, so, y'all are just here for

(01:31:42):
the photo op. I guess to get on the field
because I was kind of here to watch the game, right,
So that needs some work.

Speaker 1 (01:31:48):
How about the Colts receiver that that lost the ball
before you went.

Speaker 3 (01:31:53):
Did you get to see Yes, we saw the fumber.

Speaker 1 (01:31:55):
We were like, yeah, what an idiot, man, what an
amazing play to get that far? And then you before
you go in. Did you say Jim Harbaugh and scream
who's got better than us? Right? Nobody?

Speaker 3 (01:32:07):
But so that was very frustrating. I wish they would
change that, however, but this is never gonna happen to
me again.

Speaker 1 (01:32:14):
So what do I care?

Speaker 3 (01:32:15):
You know that whole thing.

Speaker 1 (01:32:16):
You got to go to the field.

Speaker 3 (01:32:17):
We got to go to the field, got to go
to the game. After the After the game, we get
back to the house and I have a short window
because we actually did a nice dinner and the corn
bread that I had at this place, I know in
California cornbread, I know, it was like it was crazy.
It was like cake but also had a little kick
to it. There was butter on top of it. It
was crazy good. After in between the game and dinner,

(01:32:39):
I get get on the booster board. I have a
very short amount of time, but I want to get
to the Santa Monica pre which is about three miles away,
so before the sun goes down, I boosted board ride
the electric skateboard past all that stuff that we mentioned earlier,
Muscle Beach, the famous skate park that's right there on
the beach and in the Venice skate Park there. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,
and so I get all the way to this Anamonica peer,

(01:33:00):
which is the beginning of Root sixty six or the end,
however you want to look at the end of it.
So I got out there. I'm a big Root sixty
six guys, done portions of it. I've done portions of
it with my wife. She's I mean, she's crazy about it.
But it's it's a cool part of American.

Speaker 1 (01:33:16):
History, which is why you wanted to be in the
lightning McQueen exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:33:20):
It all goes back to the lightning McQueen. And so
I get out on the pier, take a picture, and
it's great, and I got my I got my Root
sixty six shirt on.

Speaker 4 (01:33:28):
You have a picture of So I got to well,
I'm trying to tell the story.

Speaker 3 (01:33:32):
Yeah, and sounds like a full picture. And so that
was great. I got the beginning of it. And let's
see where is it? Here? Here we go?

Speaker 10 (01:33:39):
Uh, here you go.

Speaker 3 (01:33:39):
I could you could see I made it to Route
sixty six and here I am there's the Uh there's
a historic Root sixty six sign right there. I've got
my shirt. I got my shirt on as well. And
then guys, O.

Speaker 4 (01:33:54):
Foam, look who photo bombed my picture.

Speaker 3 (01:33:56):
Some weirdo.

Speaker 4 (01:33:58):
Yeah, yeah, yeah you got so you got two two weirdos.

Speaker 1 (01:34:02):
Yeah picture.

Speaker 3 (01:34:06):
Y'are always having to fly so fast. That's why I'm
wearing those sunglasses because my contacts started drying out. I'm
on the board and my contacts are drying out because
I'm catching so much wind.

Speaker 4 (01:34:15):
That was huge, man, Grandma said, wrapping up this story.

Speaker 3 (01:34:18):
Wrapping up the story. I get to uh, get to
the airport. It's it's now Sunday. It's now Monday morning.
I have a five forty am flight because I wanted
to be home early. Like I said, I wanted to
be home before my kids got home.

Speaker 1 (01:34:32):
From by yourself.

Speaker 3 (01:34:33):
I'm by myself, solo. I get to the airport. I
ride the boosted board through the airport. Because it's so fast,
I can ride it into the security line. Right into
the security line, I get checked in. I'm good. Now
I'm going from LA to Nashville. Now I'm in Nashville.
I got a tight turnaround. Luckily, I have the electric skateboard.
Skate I skate through the Nashville airport flying because it's

(01:34:57):
a quick turnaround, flying, flying, literally get to my gate.
They start boarding right then I love it, and I'm like,
this is awesome, this is great. I get on the
plane in Nashville. I get on the plane and we're
waiting to take off, and a person comes up to
me and says, are you the person with the skatee
Oh no, no no, I say yes. They're like, we

(01:35:20):
need to see your boarding pass. Oh, like okay, here
you go. I've flown with this skate electric skateboard like
literally twenty four times, like over a two dozen times. Okay,
it's below the TSA limit. I've been through TSA and
and this is my fourth flight in four days, like
this is and this is like a weird flight gate

(01:35:43):
person I don't know, not a flight attendant, a gate person.
They then tell me, okay, we're gonna have to get
you rebooked because you can't fly with this, and I say,
what booked? I'm on the plane. This is my fourth
flight in four days. This is my flight from Nashville
to Birmingham. So if you were on my flight from
Nashville to Birmingham yesterday, I'm sorry that all of this happened.

(01:36:04):
You're the problem. But this is they said you have
to be off the flight because we got to rebook you.
Wait a second, maybe can you can you take the
battery off of the skateboard. I'm like, yes, I can.
But then I realized I don't have my Allen key,
so they're calling maintenance to bring an Allen I had

(01:36:25):
to get on and off the plane like three times.
I'm in the tunnel. I'm in the tunnel taking my
skateboard apart.

Speaker 1 (01:36:32):
Why did nobody else have a broad But.

Speaker 3 (01:36:34):
Then the right, why did nobody else have a problem
with this? It's not like I'm hiding it. I rode
up to the gate on it.

Speaker 4 (01:36:39):
I rode up to I've been I've flown with it
a bazillion times?

Speaker 3 (01:36:44):
How many times on this Yes, I'm in my fourth
flight on the They caught me on the fourth flight.
They stopped me. They tried to take me off, They
tried to take the boost the electric skateboard. They tried
to rebook me.

Speaker 1 (01:36:58):
What's rebooking? Are you elevating here? Are you showing yourself?

Speaker 3 (01:37:01):
I'm saying all the things that I'm saying to you guys.
I'm like, this is my tone, my fourth flight in
four days, Yes, this is my tone right now? I said,
this is my fourth darn flight. Oh, I stopped myself
right under my breath. It was a quick moment. I
did say darn, and I said my fourth flight. I
restated it because that was not the right thing to do,

(01:37:23):
and so I apologize. If anybody was in my immediate
era he and heard me say darn, I'm sorry. That
was not the right thing to do. So now I'm
in the jetway of the little tunnel thing. They give me.
They tell me four different things. One, we got to
rebit you. Oh no, you're good, okay. So I sat
down and think I'm good. And then oh no, you
got to take it apart. So I go in the
thing and take it apart. I go sit back down again,

(01:37:44):
and I think I'm good, and then they call me
out again and they say, actually, you know, we can't.
I'm like, you guys have told me four different things.
This flight is now delayed twenty five minutes because of me,
and because of you. Everybody hates me. I hate you.
Take it. Take the darn thing. Just take it. If
that's what, if that's where we're gonna land here eventually,
just take it. And so they took it. They took

(01:38:08):
the battery. I go here, take the battery, and then
at least I've got the board and the guts and
the frame of it, and I can buy a new
I can buy a new battery for two hundred and
fifty bucks. This is a high end thing. This is
made in the USA. Oh yeah, I accidentally sounded racist
when I said this is not some foreign made thing.
This is made in the United States. And when I
said it, it sounded like I didn't like foreigners or

(01:38:30):
something like that. That's not what I meant when I said,
I meant that it's like a quality product. We know
where it's made. It's not like those hover boards that
were we did have a problem with. You'll remember back
when motherboards and fifty dollars battery. They took my battery.
I'm about to and I'm like, well fine, And so
I've got the guts in the board. The board is

(01:38:51):
wood and rubber and a couple of cords. They take
that from me too. This lady comes down the tunnel.
This lady comes down the tunnel and she's like, no,
you can't take that, no, no, no no, And you
can't take the board either.

Speaker 4 (01:39:04):
And I'm like, this is wood and rubber. What do
you think it's gonna do And she's like, no, you can't.

Speaker 1 (01:39:09):
I think they make some of that stuff up so
they can, so they can. It's been approved dozens of times.
It was approved twice on this very trip, and they
need to figure out. We got to go to bread.
I got this ain't right, This ain't right. They took
your board.

Speaker 3 (01:39:22):
So honestly, guys, I'm we can talk about other things now.
I'm sorry for taking everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:39:28):
You mean to tell me you lost every board?

Speaker 4 (01:39:31):
Yes, I lost everything, the battery of the board, everything.

Speaker 1 (01:39:34):
But after approving it multiple times.

Speaker 3 (01:39:38):
Why is it stopped? Why? Why is it now? Why
is it right here right now? And the pilot took
a shot at me on the intercom. Sorry everybody, the
you know lithium batteries. Skiddy at skateboard guy.

Speaker 1 (01:39:53):
I want everybody to understand this. So Adler looks at
the TSA requirements, gets a skateboard that meets those requirements.
He has flown with this skateboard how many times if.

Speaker 3 (01:40:08):
You count like connecting flights over two dozen times.

Speaker 1 (01:40:11):
And you've gone through TSA how many times?

Speaker 3 (01:40:14):
Just on this trip. I've already gone through TSA twice.
This would be my.

Speaker 1 (01:40:17):
Fourth flight in four days with this skateboard, and never
once was it taken from him, and it was approved
and approved and has been approved on past flights.

Speaker 4 (01:40:26):
Yes, okay, for almost ten years. I've been flying with
this thing.

Speaker 1 (01:40:29):
Ten years and all of a sudden some I don't
know what I look. I'm not above thinking that somebody
wanted your skateboard. That's what it has to be, because
you win and they know they got you, and they
know there's nothing you can do about it. And they
took your skateboard, They checked your ticket, let you through.
You killed your skateboard onto the plane, You've put it up,

(01:40:52):
and you're sitting down and somebody walks onto the plane
and ask where the skateboard guy is and pulls you off. Yes, guys,
we know about we know about the one hundred. That's
why he got one. That is under what the battery.
If the battery is one hundred or more, you can't
do it. His battery is not one hundred.

Speaker 4 (01:41:12):
It's literally built that way.

Speaker 1 (01:41:14):
It's built to get through to meet the TSA requirements
and has met those requirements for ten years.

Speaker 3 (01:41:21):
It's met it twice on this trip. And this person
is right about the hundred watt hours, it's literally ninety nine.
That's why they built it the way that they built it.
The TSA limit is one hundred. I think it's milly
amp hours, but whatever it is, it's literally the company
built it ninety nine to make it under the thing,
and so y'all, and coming on and off the airplane

(01:41:43):
so many times. It was so embarrassing, and I was
so angry because of because I am now the problem.
I am causing all these people to be delayed.

Speaker 1 (01:41:55):
They're looking at it, but why they're not explaining it.

Speaker 3 (01:41:57):
That they're not explaining it, I look like I'm trying
to sneak something on. I'm not sneaking anything on. I
rode up to the gate on the Electric States.

Speaker 1 (01:42:06):
You've been approved for ten years and twice on this trip.
I'm gonna say that over and over again, s A. Yes,
and two days, ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna sorry that,
just like DELI, the your long haired gal with the
beard was some stupid battery issue. All right, So we're
gonna put you away, sir. We're late. It's his fault.

Speaker 3 (01:42:22):
You're not off. You're not far off.

Speaker 1 (01:42:25):
Yes, believe you're not far off. It's like what you
ever watched the show and you're like, y'all don't have
the information right, and and you struggle through the whole
movie or the whole sitcom because you're like, everybody has
the wrong information. So in this case, everybody's mad at Adler,
but they don't know the story right.

Speaker 5 (01:42:41):
I'm not telling you what to do, but and I
don't know why they stole it, but they they react
to social media, and I don't know why. But if
you want to get their attention, you tag the airline,
you tag the airport, you tag the skateboard company. That's good,
and you you tell them what happened in a brief
kind of way on social media.

Speaker 1 (01:43:00):
You on X and see if you get a response.
I bet this. I bet the skateboard company because you
bought their product, because of the marketing that is TSA approved.
I bet they'll send you another one.

Speaker 4 (01:43:13):
That's all great ideas, guys, and it's just it was
very frustrating.

Speaker 1 (01:43:16):
Without getting too personal.

Speaker 3 (01:43:18):
There's the skateboard, of course a while ago, and when
it came out, it was the hottest and the newest
and the latest and greatest, and you could fly with it.
That was part of the pitch, because that is how
it's been for the last ten years a decade. When
it came out, it was more expensive than I wanted
it to be.

Speaker 1 (01:43:34):
And they stole it from you where.

Speaker 4 (01:43:36):
In Nashville in the Nashville Airport.

Speaker 3 (01:43:40):
When somebody's kids on it.

Speaker 1 (01:43:42):
Right now, that works for the airline.

Speaker 5 (01:43:43):
But you went so you're already behind the line of TSA.
In other words, you're in the safe zone because you
had to go through it in La. Yes, so you're already. Hey,
we're good.

Speaker 3 (01:43:53):
Yes, yes, speity.

Speaker 1 (01:43:54):
TSA hasn't just approved it twice on this trip, They've
approved it for the last ten years. Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:43:59):
And what was so frustrating was that I would get
on the plane, they would come to me and say, hey,
you need to take it apart. So then I would
go out into the tunnel literally with an Allen Ranch
taking the battery off of the skateboard. And then I
always I think I'm good because they're telling me I'm good.
So then I go and sit back down. I'm like, finally,
Then ten minutes goes by and then they take me

(01:44:20):
back out. And this happened like.

Speaker 1 (01:44:22):
He's watching three times. Somebody management wanted that they're on
Broad Street riding it right now.

Speaker 3 (01:44:26):
I'm like, am I being the scapegoat for y'all to
delay this plane so that you can pick up more
passengers later? Like the amount of just lady and Joah,
the whole business from the.

Speaker 1 (01:44:37):
Kind of the guy in then the route sixty six
shirt is the problem made some typical long hair with
a skateboard doesn't seem to want to do what we're
asking to so it's really his fault. We're back then,
Please don't blame our airline. And when you're calling in
then claiming we were lated, it's because the little bearded
fella his friends call him Yoda. So we're going to

(01:44:59):
be back at one.

Speaker 3 (01:45:01):
Yeah, that's so good. I can't believe the pilot really
did take a shot at me, Like we apologize, We
hope to make it up for you know, make up
that for you on some future Southwest flight. I'm like,
probably not considering you delayed me nine hours on the
way too, and then you stole my nine hundred dollars
skateboard on the way home. That's if you count the

(01:45:21):
two hundred and fifty dollars battery pack that I just
bought her.

Speaker 4 (01:45:24):
I just bought it.

Speaker 3 (01:45:24):
It's brand new.

Speaker 4 (01:45:25):
It's going to last me another ten years, but not anymore.
I love commercial flying. I'm gonna do it a bunch now.

Speaker 7 (01:45:30):
It's the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (01:45:38):
So, uh, also, Greg, where are you on Tina Turner?
I like Tina Turner personally. Do you like her as
an artist?

and roll queen Tina Turner in rural Tennessee, where she
grew up before coming a Grammy winning singer and, as

(01:46:07):
Greg's pointing out, electrifying stage performer. So what was the
real name? Olimate Brown? Something like that? Greg, You just
you're just throwing stuff out. I think I'm right on that,
probably right on that you're throwing something like that. I

Speaker 2 (01:46:35):
Boy.

Speaker 1 (01:46:35):
I got hagged in the middle one.

Speaker 3 (01:46:37):
Right, did y'all see this statue? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:46:39):
This is why this I want to discuss those guys.
I don't know what it is about the statue people.
We can't get it right.

Speaker 1 (01:46:44):
Have you seen that looks like the people? Never? I
felt like at one time minute what I thought at
one time we had good statue people. There was a
run when statues looked like people. Have we have all
the talented statue people died there? Big head? Are we
now doing? D I statue people? I just really want
to be a statue person. We're like, yeah, but you're
not very good. Yeah, but you can't fire me? Oh yeah, no,

(01:47:07):
wh it was the last time we unveiled the statue
and man, that looks like him?

Speaker 3 (01:47:11):
Now, I'm sorry, but it looks like a fried kid
from McDonald's.

Speaker 7 (01:47:14):
What did you just say?

Speaker 1 (01:47:15):
I thought that I thought it was. That's terrible. By
the way, nothing like her hometown. We can't beat that.
She's an icon. That statue could.

Speaker 3 (01:47:26):
Love it them so, but no, it's similing the best.

Speaker 1 (01:47:31):
Would you like to know who wrote Private Dancer? Anybody?
Greg gonna start with you? I know, Speedy, you probably know,
don't you don't you google it? Who wrote Private Dancer? Day?

Speaker 3 (01:47:41):
Don't you google it? I'm not George Michael.

Speaker 1 (01:47:45):
That's a terrible gift. Okay, sorry I just answered. It's
going to shock you. It's not with no way, it's
not something you can't I saw you what I saw you?
Look what I do?

Speaker 3 (01:47:55):
Are you ready for this?

Speaker 1 (01:47:57):
Mark Knopfler, Yeah, really straight? Isn't that weird? I mean you,
you wouldn't really put him with that song and her statue.

Speaker 4 (01:48:07):
Apparently that looks like a kid did that statue? I'm sorry,
but that looks like a kid did it?

Speaker 1 (01:48:12):
Looks nothing like her at all. By the way, the
statue is not going to simply nobody else.

Speaker 9 (01:48:18):
What was that?

Speaker 1 (01:48:19):
There's a madam a thousand voices? Got Tina Turner?

Speaker 9 (01:48:21):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:48:22):
By the way, somewhere Dwayne Wade is saying crimea river?
Yeah that's true, right Wayne? Does this look more like
Tina Turner than Dwayne Wade's did him this? I don't
know who that's supposed to. What's happened to statue people?
Why are they not inny Good anymore? I don't know
better be good? You go over and look at like
