You've talked to him?

Speaker 4 (01:59):
Had a Muscle Mark agreed to an off air interview
exclusively with Speedy. I understand, I understand the conversation one
half hour. It might have been a little longer, but yes, okay,
so that that is a safe bet to say that today,
as much as he's willing to share, who is Muscle Mark?

(02:22):
What is a sensible breakfast? And what kind of workout
does he do on that tree?

Speaker 3 (02:26):
I've got it. We got it. I've got it to
know what kind of tree? How about that? We did?

Speaker 4 (02:33):
That's why, that's why we sent you. Uh huh, as
you know, of course I overlooked all that, but you
would have. Yeah, and we discussed that, did you.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yes? Yes?

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Where where where do you think I stand with Muscle Mark?
I hope he's still proud of I'll talk, Okay, let's
just I'm hoping he's still proud of you. Thank you,
greg all. Got got a little bite to pick with you.
I didn't have a picture of him that I'm gonna
share with y'all.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Ok.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
He's in shape, yes he is? Yeah, all right, so
that we'll get that today. Got a question to ask you,
baby brother, all okay? So uh and I did address it.
So I know you took Mom grocery shopping yesterday.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
You told me that Mom had shared with you that
when I take her grocery shopping, she prefers you, yes,
because you rush her.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
She says, I rush her. Yeah, does that sound like me? Yes,
it does. She said.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
He starts putting stuff in her basket and stuff or
she signs off on it.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Right, Well, I mean let's let's let's go. Hey, okay,
that sounds so unlike you.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Here, can your mom not enjoy walking through the shop.
I didn't know I was rushing.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Here's the here's the mindset I get in. This is
what you gotta do.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
I'm going for a stroll in here, and there's no
telling how long we're going to be in here. I
don't have no expectations. But she made the comment relax
and actually have fun. We actually did.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
She says I don't have fun. No, she didn't say that.
She says I rush her. She said she didn't have
fun with you. She's picked the lasted you.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
She wants to take her teaching on his car. Of
course you think that's the best thing he's got. Already
got you fixed the car? Well, yeah, maybe I don't
put the car on you. Then it was it brought
up no believe it or not. Okay, that's a miracle.
But you know, well, now, wait a minute. She did
point out that it.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Had a lot of polling on it, but that don't
really can't.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Greg and I, we've all the three siblings, we now
have moved into very specific roles with our mom. And
of course I take on my roll next week because
you know, I have to take her to an appointment.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
You know, the kind of appointments I have to take
her to.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yes, you know involves things like you know, her off
her legal stuff and banking and oh yeah, yeah, it
seems odd that I somehow got that role, but I
guess the three of us, I guess I'm as close
as we got.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
We don't really have that. Yeah, we don't really have
that person.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
I know, we really don't. We're doing the best we can.
That's kind of a sad statement, you have. Greg's very
good at all that. And of course he'll call every
day on his way home. Because again I went twenty minutes.
Doesn't out We've covered that. By the way, you had
her laughing pretty hard about that. I said, you got
to quit giving great credit for that.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
That's my credit.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
I've told you. Yeah, call on weekends too. Yeah, that
pretty much shut you up right, you're gonna have to
lavery Saturdays, she gets an encouraging text for me from
wherever I am.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Okay, well, you're gonna have to.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
She likes updates on where I am, and she wants
to know that planes land and oh yeah, and trips
get there. Okay, Yeah, you're gonna have to, uh maybe
uptick a little bit on the on the calls and
if somebody is going into the store, they shouldn't get
two steps in and you'd be like, all right, let's go,
I mean can they got to get in there and
settle a little bit.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
Let her read the labels, let him read the labels.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Where you're going. If you go to Public's when you
come in, you've actually taken it. She didn't like to.
It's not she does not consider that a pleasure. I know.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
But last two times she has because she's let me
tell you why, she's looked. And they have a lot
of bogos and they have them when you come in
the door, have a special section. So she gets to
work that. Okay, well, she doesn't like because of her
cleans applies. They had a bunch of stuff on sale.

three year old. But she's still moving at eighty three speed.
And so if I see what she wants, I'll grab
it and put it in the buggy. And she said, well,

thirty minute forty minute grocery turn.

Into an island.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Myself and this gives her something. Yeah, she's experience. No
shocker here, I hadn't thought about that.

Speaker 6 (07:17):
Yeah, this is this is her internet. This is her
looking at things, you know, for recreation. Yes, this is
her social time out in the world.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
So you're saying she doesn't see it like me, like,
let's get this done.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
She does not know.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
She's actually wont like I'm spending time with one of
my boys.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
You kind of walking around and get out of my
apartment right seeing other humans?

Speaker 7 (07:37):
Are you?

Speaker 4 (07:38):
Are you very critical of her flow through the grocery store.
Does she start on the right and work left or
she goes to the right where it's because.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
I know that's another people.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
These people don't start produced it produces to the right,
which most stories it is these people that don't start
there your share. She'll just run down the middle of anisle,
right in the middle, Yeah, and then double back to
as back over that other way. Baby, let's start to
hear and work through it.

Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Now, if you go in the wind Dixie, you break
left that she goes that way goes.

Speaker 3 (08:05):

She would in the mill, correct, like, well, I like
it for some my goofy looking will make fun of it.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
Stuff like that does let her have a good Oh,

make fun of goofy people. For her, it's still like
kind of unique person there, you know, I tell you
Ma got it. She thinks it's funny to okay, yeah,

Oh yeah, most have. I don't know what made her
do it. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Well, you know she is if something gets on her mind.
Well think back to COVID. That was the deadline. Twenty
twenty was the deadline, and then they pushed it back
and pushed it back like you know what Mom was flying?

Speaker 3 (09:21):
You know again, Correct me if I'm wrong, Correct me

Speaker 3 (09:35):

Speaker 7 (09:37):
Right.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
You think I don't even know where my SO Security
card is now?

Speaker 5 (09:41):
You don't one.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
I think I had one when you whenever I got one.
But yeah, that's.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
How I was a teenager, so I didn't really care.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
Not good stuff to brag about.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Well the the uh, Greg, I'm glad you took mom
grocery shop.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Heretually, so I did rush her. Yeah, my goodness. You
go to the doors and fantas.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
You're running over to ye she can't ride in the buggy.
And I mean, you'd probably write like that you didn't
push around.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Is the rick Burgers Show.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
We're back.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Thanks for being with us on a brand new edition
of The Rick Burgers Show, and we're glad that you're here.

Speaker 7 (10:40):
For the rust.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
All right, So to starting out this hour, we've been
talking about the updates, all of us except for Adler
his he's not here yet. He's still in a small
kid world. Then, as we've often said, Jeff Foxworthy actually
did a comedy bit of out this that when your
kids do finally grow up and they're empty nesters, they

(11:04):
drive out of the driveway and your parents drive in
and and now you're you're the and and you know what,
they took care of us, and we need to take
care of them, and it's an honor to do it.
But there also is a lot of fun that comes
with this, this new relationship with taking care of the
people that took care of you.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
And so I know that Greg, you you handled that yesterday.
And mom is a one of a kind do it
doing great? And thank you for handling that, and uh
and I'll try not to uh push her.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Through the store. So quickly. Well, yeah, y'all don't know
that you can help you.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
Y'all have give me a wake up call today because
in my mind, I'm trying to be efficient with our time,
and you're reminding me that Mom has time. There's no
need for me to try to be efficient with her time.
This is something that if it extends, it's not her
thinking wow, that took up a lot of my day,
it's her going, wow that was that was a fun
trip to the groceries. Yeah, and I really, you know,

(12:01):
I don't get out. I don't see those things that way.
I see them as things you're trying to get done.
And what I think Mom wants to do is see
how many things we been accomplish in one day.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
But I realize that's not true. Wait a minute, you
think your mom thinks that or you think that's what
you're trying to do.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
See I picture us like sitting back at her at
her apartment or cottage when it's over, and us discussing
all the things we got done today. And I realized
that Mom doesn't see it that way. And I appreciate
that y'all help me today. Yeah, a good night look
at that moment can Can I do that? Can I
make myself? I think what you're going to have to
do is block out, uh a period of time when

(12:36):
it's grocery it's it's grocery run day where you don't
have anything pressing on the back end, where you just go,
I don't have any troth. What the sickest part about
two hours where I'm just gonna this is what we're doing.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
Well, it's been kind of a joke.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
And she does it, starts laughing, She'll go, no, I
don't have a very big list, yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
What to get, and then we get in there and
then the buggies just piled.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
Up stuff time. That's what I Well, she knows, she's
got no way to defend it. Yeah she is. She's
just got a few items to pick up, and we
fill the bug yup every time, every time, which is fine. No,
it's great. She's got what she now And I don't
mind that because I think so good your stock for
a while. Yeah, but now I realize that I've been
looking at this all wrong.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah, and I acknowledge that.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
So you yesterday, mister Wilburn, Oh yeah, not only were
this was before you interviewed muscle Mark, right, this is you, Tay.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Or did you? Yeah? You know.

Speaker 4 (13:24):
I was going back and forth through text with muscle
Mark yesterday and he kind of left it with, hey,
I'm pretty busy. I might be able to, you know,
hook up with you later in the week.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Talk we're weird. I mean, well we'll talk.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
And then about mid afternoon he said, what are you
doing at such.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
And such time?

Speaker 4 (13:40):
Blah blah blah, and I'm thinking, well, you know, I've
got to go. I was on the way to Huntsville
to run Dad to his cardiologist for his annual visit,
you know, just because you remember he had five way
by pass surgery U what three and a half years ago,
and and so we go back, you know it, what's
six months now? It's every year, and that yesterday was
the day. And so I'm like, you know, I'll be

(14:03):
coming back from Huntsville. That's be perfect timing. I'll call
most of the more and so we'll have an update
on that. But yesterday I roll up and of course
Mom and Dad they're sitting there. They just waiting outside
the garage.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
They're ready.

Speaker 9 (14:15):
Here we go.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
And I'm like, Dad, you know, we're good, you know,
unlike you.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Buckle up, Come on, pick it up.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Uh, make this light.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
We're losing daylight.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Yeah, you would be doing that.

Speaker 5 (14:34):
Putting her in the buggy with the steering wheels was
over the line.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
I think you would really do that.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
If your mom had a step up in a way
to sit in the buggy, I really think you would
do that. So nobody likes to be efficient with their
time and just rake things off the shelf into the buggy.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
That's what you would do. All right, we're done. I
don't like that bread. Yeah, but it's steel bread.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
You're good, all right, you're fine, already stocked our kischen
your stack.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Because it was my turn and Adler saw it, I
got it done quick.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
But my dad in waiting rooms, it's always he's entertaining
because because of his lack of eyesight, he doesn't know
and can't read the room because he doesn't know who's
around it, right, you know. And they'll pack you in there,
you know, I mean your your chair chair. And I
wish this waiting room was a little bigger. Yeah, boy, Hey,
they'll make some appointments, Yes they will. I think a

(15:18):
lot of them are like airlines, they overbooked hoping somebody
will cancel. Uh, and if you are late afternoon, which
is just for our schedule, that's the best we can
do because of being here and then getting there you
have a job. You know they'll get backed up by
late afternoon. There will because now you guys, you've got
the whole day. If your cousin skips over you for

(15:38):
other family members, right, but his family day and you
But but no, you're right. You know what it is
to me. Doctor's appointments. You're just like airlines. If you're
not the first flight out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, anything. We'll
sit there and you know it'll be because I'm already
you know, uncomfortable with you know, awkward social awkward situations,
and be like, you know, isn't.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
They gonna call us? It's taking forever. And then there's
just twenty people around me and I can't see.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
You can't say whether they do this because mom will
do this at the doctor.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Well we got here before them. Yeah, a lot of that.
I'm like a lot of that, they hear you.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
Yeah, But then it's the My dad, he feels like
whenever you're introduced to someone, you present your hand and
you give them a handshake.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
And he always taught me that and that's you know,
I do that a lot. And when you can see,
lookhm to I.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
Right and uh and so sometimes and I hate to
be too quick to announce it because you know I'll
come in hot. Is I gotta let people know that
he can't see because they just people assume they just open.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
The door and like hear or whatever. Well, he can't see.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
So there's that, there's that awkward moment, like the first
thing they do is weigh you all right, will jump
up up there and let let let me wear You
can't see, so now so you're dad when he's moving
around halfway up there getting way too was accurate at all?

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Right? Would you be open? Let me get off that?
Would you be would you be open?

Speaker 4 (17:08):
And it's just suggestion because when you see your day,
you know, sometimes when you see people that are blind,
you can tell they're blind. And there's people like you're
dead you can't. Yeah, we thought about some ratel have
you He thought about some glasses or maybe a stick.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Well.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
I talked to him about that stick and he didn't
like to He didn't like the stick. Uh saw somebody
with a stick in Canada, but they appeared to be
looking around.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
That was weird.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
Yeah yeah, yeah, and they had the stick, but they
were looking around. I think you see stuff. They were
twice yesterday where he presented the hand to air and
and oh no, and his hands out to shade. Yeah,
and he's just hoping that somebody sees yeah yeah. And
then finally hey, uh and then.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Don't you have to direct the doctor to his hand?

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (17:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
And the doctor was, you know, cleaning his hands up
from his last patient. So he's he's why you hold on,
mister web, but let me clean the hand, you know,
and then you do you put your hand down?

Speaker 3 (17:56):
Do you keep it up?

Speaker 10 (17:57):
You know?

Speaker 3 (17:57):
It's awkward. Yeah, I want to just go right.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
But but he's just so I guess I get that
from him a lot. He's so outgoing when he wants
to talk to everybody. And of course he's competent. They are,
you know. The check is in was the greatest checker
in her ever. You know, you do a great job, dad.
All she's doing is taking you out by the way
you type is amazing. But it's just positivity. He's just everywhere,

(18:26):
which is you know, it's pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
But which is better than negative? It is it is,
but it was some there were some moments, but we
got through.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
We got a great report and then have to go
back a year. So we were celebrating that it was
a good day.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
It was good. It was a good day. He can't
say i'm his eyes. I'll say that a lot.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 4 (18:48):
Okay, so Trump administration in if you vote conservative, you
were fired up about that. But the fight to restore
the nation, as you've discovered, only the beginning, only the beginning.
It is time to take a stand. And let me
tell you. Leading the charge are friends at Patriot Mobile.
What do you mean, Well, look, there's still when you

(19:08):
look at a lot of these companies out there, they
don't like that Trump won. They're still trying to push
these agendas that we pushed back on, and if we're
giving money to them, then it's not really a good feeling.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
It really isn't.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
And as America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, Patriot Mobile
offers ways to vote with your wallet without compromising on
the quality or the convenience. Because I don't like when
somebody tries to guilt me into doing something, as opposed
to saying we want you to actually come to our
company on our merit and then a nice bonus is

(19:41):
we're conservative like you, and we stand it for the

So wrapping up the latest of Aging Parents speedy. I

(21:28):
sense with your dad's loss of eyesight that you probably
knowing you pretty well, are you over compensating for his
his challenge. I don't just announce the challenge until it
presents itself. In other words, I don't like walk in
and check in and go, hey, my dad's.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Blind, he's over there.

Speaker 8 (21:50):
You know.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
I don't do that. But if it's we're trying to
get through, just announce it when you walk right.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
But if we're trying to get through a doorway, there's
a nurse, a receptionist that's trying to it is to
where we need to be, or the doctor's coming in,
or you know the tall patient chair that's got the
protective paper on it and all this, you got to
stand up, and it's always so going in and try
getting him up on that oh that paper?

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Oh yeah, yes, just pick him up and said him
up there. I know you would.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
You'd probably go out, I'll scar hurry off, all right,
get up there, even though I'm gonna wait in the
room for twenty minutes.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Hurry yeah, that's what you would do. They never come round.
We never do.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
And I don't know. This is all what are you?
This is my go to and I don't know why
I do it. You know, he could run a company.
Just can't see as your go to? What you wouldn't
you think? I don't know if that's me telling him.
I don't know what that's me doing. I think that
means you do. He's got a good mind and he's
he's in good health.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
He just can't. He just has this one limitation. So
you're announcing. Why do you think you have to announce?
They don't know.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
Do you think they think there's something that's mentally something
menally wrong with it?

Speaker 3 (22:55):
I know I don't think that.

Speaker 5 (22:56):
I don't know why you walking stick?

Speaker 3 (22:59):
No, I think he should get one.

Speaker 5 (23:01):
It would kind of help Q people.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
I have had this conversation with him he's got my no,
he's got my right elbow. So every every time you
do them, he can run a company.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
He just can't see you doing that. Rick.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
And you know when his mom goes with him, he's
doing that while she's telling her about he's spitty of
the Rick Burgess.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
Oh yeah, yeah, we got we got that combo going.
You know, had the division of NASA. He was over it.
I can't see though.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
Yeah, I don't know why their dad's lost. Is inte
guess I'm trying to say, he's not a DA. He
just can't see what I'm saying, shouldn't be saying. I
don't know about breaking down to that. Yeah, he just
had he has a physical limitation.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
That's it. I tell you what you're doing, boy, trying
to get him up to wigh. Well, you're trying to.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Get on record with everybody dealing with him the fact
that he's blind, and you just don't want to do
the Hey, before we get started, my dad's blind. Okay,
let's get started. Everybody understanding can't see. Unlet's all work
instead of them having to realize its work for NASA.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
Just can't see.

Speaker 4 (24:01):
Yeah, I wish that I did have a little Eddie
bullhorn that gonna get this straight.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
My dad cannot sue, but it could run a company.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
We'll be right over here.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
And now my mom almost introduced me to all y'all
give the bullhorn the moment that we're done establishing the
lack of eyesight my dad, but mental prowess.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Here's my mom to tell all of you who I am.
He's Meedy from the Rick Burger Show. You ever listen
to that? You ever listen to that? That was one
moment when he got caught mess there.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
Well Bert, I was like, Dad, that's a guy.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
Thinking about that. Hey you got that's thank you, ma'am.
If all he's got some voice. Yes, well it.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
Was from a distance, Yeah, yeah, yeah it was and
it was far away because it's a big room, a
big room. So anyway, we got through that good report
and also special shout out. We don't normally do this,
but to mighty ruders. Who mighty ruders? Uh they are
out of Huntsville. Jeremy is the owner. And is this

(25:01):
not a worst case scenario? You have plumbing issue that
has shut down half the house. On a weekend, I
got reports that my mom and dad's upstairs had basically
just stopped. I'm talking about nothing's working, toilets, shower nothing.
There is a major problem, league. I don't know if

(25:25):
it could be worse. Yeah, but you know when you
have and we've we've discussed this, the aging parents and
they're out of town, it's you rely on good people
to take care of you, you know, because you can
have you can have companies and people and really take
advantage of had that happen and had to deal with
the member, took advantage of mom and dad.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
You got to watch them, oh yeah, because you know
they'll say, oh, you got this problem, you got that problem,
you got this problem before you know it. The bill's
outrageous and they didn't need you didn't need.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Have to serve. That'll be an advocate for them.

Speaker 4 (25:56):
Those of you out there they're taking these people aren't thinking,
Thank goodness, you're giving a shout out to But some
of y'all out there, the way you're praying on the elderly, are.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
You just not afraid of God at all? It's sad.
What is wrong with you? It's sad at least scam
young people.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
Yeah, but but they're blessed because they have a they
have a system of companies they use for different problems,
and he's done he's done things for him in the past.
But man, he came out with his crew over the
weekend and fixed the problem. And I just wanted to
say thank you because it just means a lot, you know,
for a son that has aging parents that are just

(26:30):
just good people. But Mom and Dad, you know, of course,
by the time they left, they were the greatest plumbers
that God ever wasn't really, but they really really went
above and beyond. It brought an extra uh you know,
crew and different machines, and there was a major problem,
but they fixed it and got out of there a
reasonable mounts. Nobody's actually nobody's actually do it for free will.

(26:50):
Let's just all be real try and get out here
and be efficient. And they got the job done. And
the same thing we have. We've had people even right
now where Mom lives. They do such a good job. Uh,
they go above and beyond what somebody who rents from them,
you know, gets because of the fact that she is
a widow and she's eighty three, and and they do
a really good job of keeping us informed and they
look after they do a little extras for and all that,

(27:12):
and those people you really appreciate.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
Yeah, yeah, sadly they're rare these days. Oh yeah.

Speaker 11 (27:17):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
Speaking of taking responsibility, it looks like that National Security
advisor Mike.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Walls, is it Walts or Walls?

Speaker 3 (27:25):
There is a t in there's a T Walts. He
like the waltz like you would you would dance a waltz.

Speaker 12 (27:31):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
He is taking responsibility for what is being deemed an
embarrassing uh signal chat leak, and it is embarrassing.

Speaker 11 (27:39):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
He is taking full responsibility. He said, I built the group.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
And he was interviewed by Laura Ingram about this. It's embarrassing.
We're going to get to the bottom of it. But hey,
that's on me. Uh So he is the one that
accidentally Apparently some people I've tried to say it wasn't accidental.
I don't know what the angle would be there, but
that that got a journalist for The Atlantic in there,
and not a good one one that's always been out

(28:06):
in the world.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
Hey, let me ask y'all this.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
Obviously there was a it's embarrassing and there was it's
the reporter for the Atlantic shouldn't have been in there.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Let's put all that over here.

Speaker 4 (28:17):
This has brought up a discussion on if you've been
added to a group text list that after the text
messages start rolling, you realize, hey, I'm not supposed to
be in this. Do you what is the ethical thing
to do? Do you remove yourself from that group or
do you stay in the group, or do you respond
to the group, hey, wrong guy, I shouldn't be in this,

(28:40):
or do you let him know? Because the reporter for
The Atlantic, he's sat there back and stating at the
whole time knowing that he was a part of a
group I mean should not have been in Are you
using the word modern day journalists who is an enemy
of a of a certain political party saying asking the
question should they have done the right thing and showed

(29:00):
some ethics?

Speaker 9 (29:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (29:02):
And maybe maybe not this reporter, but in general normal
people normally the wrong guy? Or do you you personally
text somebody that's in the group, going hey, remove me,
I shouldn't be in this, or do you sit back
and just stay in it.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
I listened for forty eight hours and then yeah, now.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
Because because he stayed in it, and this is the
guy that, uh, that was behind a lot of the
narrative of fake journalism that was accusing Trump of different
things in the past. So he is not a friend
of this administration. He shouldn't have been. He shouldn't have
been in the credit number. So let's establish that he
should not have been in the group. They did make

(29:41):
a mistake. That's but does he hold any responsibility of going,
you know, I should have probably gotten out of that. Well, yes,
Speedy's recording who he's talking to. If he goes and
talks to all the leftists out there and and all
the you know, agenda driven don't use the name journalists
because they're not doing journalism. If if he's in with
that group, then all that was was an opportunity, and

(30:01):
he took advantage of it, so he celebrated. Now, if
you leave that world and go out to the normal
world where we all should do the right thing. Now,
I wouldn't say that somebody who's in modern day media
seized the world that way. All that they're in a
political war and whatever they have to do to win,
they want to win.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
But in the normal.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
World, yes, if you've been accidentally put in a group text,
it is absolutely the right thing to do to say, hey,
heads up, I'm in this group. I don't think I'm
supposed to be in here, or if you know someone
in the group. By the way, y'all pulled me into
this group. Do y'all want me in here? Of course,
you let them know you're there, but not if you're
a leftist journalist who's trying to destroy you an administration.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
That you hate.

Speaker 4 (30:43):
You look up and say, y'all so stupid, y'all put
me in this group, but I'm going to take advantage
of it. Well, that's not the right thing to do,
but that is the real world. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Did you ever get out of that group that always
sent tea times to you and all that dolphin bunch?

Speaker 3 (30:55):
Yeah, you remember that, y'all. Can y'all go? You read
tea Time eight am? I'm like, who is this? And
this went on for a while. Don't think I should
be in here? I did reply, I'm.

Speaker 4 (31:04):
Out, let's look at the one that. Let's look into
our world, which is more likely. You're in a group
text you're supposed to be in it, you just wish
you weren't. If you've ever been a part of any
large team with tons of parents and they started to
start a group me and don't get me started, don't
me out, don't get me started on his travel ball

(31:26):
and who's bringing what we're gonna bring. We're gonna bring
orange slices. Okay, okay, don't reply all every time.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
The other thing?

Speaker 4 (31:35):
Uh, And here I see is that Trump says that
Walls has taken responsibility, he has learned his lesson. He
is still a good man. So I do like the Hey,
that's on me. It was not a staffer, it was me.
I messed this up. I'll face the consequences. Trump says
he's owned it. He's still a good man. This was

(31:55):
a mistake, and luckily it was one that didn't have
too much information. Now, the Atlantic reporters claiming, all there
was this, that and the other end there, but he
hasn't released that information. So but all those in there
say there was nothing secret or classified that was being discussed,
and the.

Speaker 6 (32:15):
Use of signal itself was not prohibited. Also, that was
brought on their computers by the CIA.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
Yeah, so hopefully lesson learned and nothing major bad happened.
And we did know you can remove yourself from a
group text too, and that's probably the best way.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
To get this is the Rick Burgess shows. This is
where logic beats the left, the Rick Burgess shows.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
And we're rolling through another one.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
Interesting looking on the text option those of you in
the archive world, we had someone texting they saying, I
have been chasing the show now on archives for days.
I'm now closing in within twenty minutes of what's currently
going on. What an interesting world. The archive world's chasing

(33:07):
down time. Isn't that interesting? Yeah, so he's closing the
gap or she. I don't know if it's here or she,
but anyway, Also, don't forget those of you that you
Spotify on the archives. Adler put that out on his
ex account, and I also reposted that that for some reason,
Spotify is missing episode forty eight and forty nine. We

(33:27):
don't know why on that particular platform. But if you're
a Spotify user and you can't find those, we provided
those links for you. So if you follow Adler or
me on x you should see those. A couple of
things to discuss still to come. Speedy has interviewed Muscle Mark.
We have the answers and we'll get that full report

(33:47):
coming up. Sad sad story dealing with Brett Gardner. Oh, yeah,
so sad. And you know, you're hearing more and more
things like this, and it's a little concerning if you're,
you know, trying to vacation or you know, trying to
let other people provide food and things for you. It
seems like I'm hearing an awful lot about food poisoning,

(34:07):
like more than I've ever heard of it in my life.
People do it, you know, go into a restaurant, go traveling.
Hey we got food poisoning. Unfortunately, it looks like the
tragic death of Miller Gardener, which is the fourteen year
old son of former Yankee. Uh and how many how
many years do you play it? I think it was
fourteen years I played in the in the league, or

(34:30):
I might.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
Be wrong on that somewhere around there.

Speaker 4 (34:32):
But yeah, but anyway, Brett Gardner, sad, sad story. They're
in Costa Rica, and I'm telling you, I don't know.
I'm not trying to be anti Costa Rica. But you
remember this is where Gene Holman nearly is it. Yes,
that's where Gene Holman caught that to deal out of
the water that nearly killed him.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Yeah you remember that?

Speaker 4 (34:49):
Oh yeah, yeah, So they're they're they're in Costa Rica.
They now think, sadly, the reason why this fourteen year
old seemed to die in his sleep was a bad
reaction to medication that the family was being treated after
they all got sick from sudden illness, and they think

(35:09):
it was also tied. Am I right on this to
what they had eaten?

Speaker 3 (35:13):
Yeah, that's what I made them sick. Yeah, that's how
they got sick. Yeah, it looks like they all got this.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
So they all get some sort of food poisoning, maybe
a parasite something like that. But this is the problem.
And Greg talked about it in the break off the air.
We were discussing this. When you travel abroad and it
can be a lot of fun, but let me tell
you what, you don't want to get sick. It kind
of goes back to what we always said about government
run health care. It's pretty good unless you get sick.

(35:39):
If you stay healthy, government health care is great because
you don't pay a lot for your health care as much.
But if you get sick, you got problem. I thought
about this even when we were in Canada. We were
going through Canada and Toronto is a is a happening
big time city. But I looked over at one of
their hospitals like a dump. I was like, man, big

(36:00):
and shiny, we don't we don't want to get sick here.
Uh So unfortunately it looks like you know, I know that.
And maybe in our fairness to the doctor or whoever,
maybe the family had no idea that their son was
allergic to the medication.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
That is one of those things. But here's weird, guys.
But it looks like it is an allergic reaction to
some medication he was given.

Speaker 4 (36:21):
Yeah, And and so the resort they were staying at,
the staff is not allowed to provide medical care or
prescribe medicine. So a local doctor was called in to
to look over the family. Because of what you just talking.
If you're if you're out in another country, don't get sick,
don't get injured. But there's this line here it doesn't
say and I think that they're early on here because

(36:43):
they they kind of have changed their uh their messaging
here when they first thought he had died of h
what is it aphixiation? Uh, due to the the food poisoning.
Now they're saying they don't think that's the case. But
listen to this put potentially bad medicine. Bad medicine, not

(37:03):
just medicine he was allergic to. Right, the medicine itself
was bad. It says here they that he had never
stood a chance after being given potentially bad medication to
treat his illness. It could be that it wasn't a
relation with the same and that's something I don't know.
I don't know, but that line just kind of.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
Doesn't make sense. Do you think they all to it? Right?

Speaker 4 (37:29):
Yes, they all were sick, and it's probably I would
think it was something I don't want to be gross.
Probably something because thinking when you when you're that kind
of sick and it's coming out either in or both ends.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
Like we said that, your your body's in civil war,
the North taking on the South.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
A lot of times, the first thing the doctor will
do is let's get all that stopped, and they'll give
you something to stop all that, which you're you're you're more.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Than willing to take.

Speaker 4 (37:51):
Yeah, but if the whole family was put on it,
why did it only take the fourteen years? Now, the
next line after the bad medication does say what you
just said that. Now authorities are probing whether Miller was
allergic to any medication who was given. But anyway, there's
been a reversal in what they're saying now they're probing
this new theory that it was maybe the medication.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
But it's just a terrible, horrible, horrible story.

Speaker 4 (38:16):
The family's on vacation, they all go to sleep, you know,
they're dealing with this food poisoning. They wake up and
he doesn't, which is just really sad.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
Horrible story. And on something like a family vacation. Yeah, yeah, goodness.

Speaker 5 (38:28):
I mean, just they favor each other quite a bit.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
They do horrible, so so horrible. So so that's the
latest on that story.

Speaker 4 (38:36):
And then you know a lot of your texting saying, hey,
I got food poisoning in my own town at a restaurant.
I know, food poisoning seems to be I keep hearing
about that so much more. But the bigger point is
you can get food poisoning anywhere, but the treatment for
what you got if you're in a foreign country is
a different game.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
And you you don't I know, I know, we got.

Speaker 4 (38:58):
Things we can get back, can do better about our
health care, and our own healthcare is starting to go
down because of many many reasons. But boy, when you're
out in another country.

Speaker 6 (39:08):
When I'm going on vacation, I'm gonna start bringing my
own food and a carbon monoxide detector because it's the
weirdest thing. I'm sure it's just because of the Internet
and these stories get sensationalized. People go on a cruise,
there's a leak or something like that. But it does
seem like it's you're hearing about.

Speaker 4 (39:25):
It more also a much lighter note, even though we're
all annoyed that this is the new thing. Now the
Dodgers have had to make their announcement that they will
go to the White House to celebrate their their World
Series champion. Those are news stories. Now now it's a
new story. We've we've all voted. My goodness, its nearly
time to play baseball is about to start again. That

(39:45):
I think they're going to tie it in when they
do a series with the Nationals right while they're there,
so they're going to go to they will go to
the White House. I love these teams. Now we have
to come out and announce whether we're going around. It's
how it Trump's back in office that has you know,
so anyway, but they are going to go as well,
and somebody talking about I'm talking about getting food poisoning

(40:06):
from salad. I'm saying salad is a it ain't worth.
Salad's problematic. And that's the thing so frustrating. I mean,
if you end up getting food poisoning over something that
was really good. But when something like a salad gets you,
Oh Rick, somebody's saying they the food poisoning hit them.
While listening to the show earlier in the week, Oh

(40:26):
kid night.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
Yeah, we announced the Eagles are going to White House.
We did that earlier in time of the hour.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

If you're just now joining us, there's already an hour
behind us available on the archives later today. So a

If there's something going on, it doesn't matter what it is.

(42:53):
Snoop's there. We were at the grocery store back earlier,
boy and going by the wine section is a bottle

Speaker 3 (43:01):
He's even got his own wine. Well, face is on
the bottle. Well, she's gonna hurt him with this new item.
We don't want to have him bought one. She likes Snoop.

Speaker 4 (43:12):
Well, this is gonna hurt him with the Baptist churches
because here is Eric Hayburg, Hey Burge. Don't know if
all of you have heard. I had not heard until
today the one and only Snoop Dogg has a gospel album.
I'm not sure if Scott Dawson knows this or not.
Maybe what a good one? Eric in Cleveland, Okay. Eric

(43:36):
included a picture he got his picture out of. You
must have already been gone. It's at one of the
Man church conferences. He has on the very same shirt
I'm wearing today. There's a picture of Greg Smedy and
me with Eric.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
Have you seen this? Please look at Greg all right,
just keep going over.

Speaker 4 (43:58):
I don't know what.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
Happened there, get me in mid blink or something.

Speaker 5 (44:03):
I know, I'm just tired.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
That caught you in the middle of a blink. Those
that can't see it.

Speaker 4 (44:12):
Greg's eyes are half open, half closed, and I'm doing
slightly off. He's doing slightly often has, but you have
a little grin on.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
Like the dream. You're having a good one. I don't
know what happened that is, that's a good picture. That
is funny.

Speaker 4 (44:24):
Yes, I knew Snoop had a children's album. I don't
think I knew he had a gospel album. I think, yeah,
I think we talked. I think we may have covered
that with so Guinton.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
I may be wrong. So there you go, Kanye.

Speaker 5 (44:36):
Yeah, that actually came out a long time ago.

Speaker 4 (44:38):
Yeah, okay, I thought, but gospel album Snoop, I didn't.
I didn't put those together. But but anyway, so there
you go. All right, Next one, Hey Bird, Hey Burge. Uh,
what is your go to version of the Bible? I
know today is Bible Study Day? And why well go to?
It's according to what I'm doing, and I don't want

(44:59):
to get it to all. But you asked the question.
I'll answer this when I'm studying the Bible. And this
is just my preference. As far as a quirk, I
do not think it's a better translation, uh than some
of the good English translations.

Speaker 13 (45:12):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (45:12):
There's some I would not use, but there's there's more
than one that I think they're great. But my go
to that I like the most. And if you watch
the Wednesday Bible Study, it is the one I'm using.
Is the English Standard version it's just I like the
that's the way I learn. It is not as poetic
and beautiful as King James and N I V. And

(45:34):
and some of those, but it's very literal. It's the
closest English word that we have to the original language.
And at times it can be a little clunky because
of that, because sometimes our our English doesn't match up
in a smooth way. And that's where you get the
more poetic translations.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (45:52):
That's my preferred study Bible. However, the more modern versions
of the N I V Are good, some of the
older ones not so much. The New American Standard is
very very good. A lot of people that I trust
use it now. I have a copy of that too.
I would I would stay away from the message as

(46:13):
far as a study are trying to learn something or
get deep theology, because that's a paraphrase. It could be
nice supplemental, but I would not let that. And don't
go anywhere near this new Passion Bible thing or whatever
that did. That thing is a night. I wouldn't go
near it. But anyway, so, and the new King James
is really good too, so, but I use the English

(46:34):
Standard version just because that's that's my preference, and it
is a solid English translation as well.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
Uh hey bird jay birds, this is from Mike.

Speaker 4 (46:42):
I'd like to know who you and the guys consider
your favorite athletes to watch in four different sports. Now
this they say not, it doesn't have to be the
best statistically, just in each sport. Who was your favorite player?
Who would you who did you like to watch all
the time when you were watching these sports?

Speaker 7 (47:01):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (47:02):
Number one is baseball? Two basketball, three football, four boxing,
and so this is this is like when we were
like anytime, not current. It doesn't matter, just whoever you like,
he said, give you an example. Here's my list. Baseball
for Mike is Nolan Ryn. He loved watching Nolan rock Basketball.
No surprise here, Michael Jordan football, Walter Payton.

Speaker 3 (47:22):
Good list.

Speaker 4 (47:23):
Yeah, and four Now, Mike, you're not old enough to
if you go back and watch this Rocky Marciana. I
think he means you can go watch him on the archives.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
I call foul.

Speaker 4 (47:35):
I used to love watching Tony Dorset run the ball
for the catch.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
That's your football.

Speaker 4 (47:39):
Yeah a sugar, Ray Leonard, I used to watch your
box in the box for baseball. I mean you can't
go right, Dell Murphy I was always interested because bless
his heart, and I know he was all they had
at the time.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
And one am I missing? What's the other one? Basketball? Basketball? Man? Uh,
you can go through all kinds of errors.

Speaker 4 (47:59):
I mean, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird was my favorite.
And I know that bothers you because I liked the
Celtics like Greg did and you didn't. But probably those
three are the main. But probably if I had to subtle,
it'd be Larry Bird me surprisingly, can I do? I
guess because baseball and those are all not currents. The
positions are so unique. Yeah, But Hank Aaron when I

(48:23):
was a little boy, I just adored Hank Aaron when
I was young, And as far as a pitcher, I
adored Catfish Hunter. So I know I did two there,
But those were two baseball players that I really thought
were super cool. Basketball for me is gonna be Magic Johnson. O. No, no, No,
Basketball for me is doctor J.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
I'm sorry. I like Doctor J.

Speaker 10 (48:43):
Farr.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
He was by far my favorite.

Speaker 4 (48:46):
And then football for me, that's a tough one. But
as a kid, I also liked Walter Payton a lot.
I loved watching him run the ball.

Speaker 3 (48:54):
But probably for.

Speaker 4 (48:55):
Me easy, it's mean Joe Green, me and Joe Green
was my favorite football player of all time. And then
boxing Mike.

Speaker 3 (49:01):
Tyson, hmm, what about you?

Speaker 4 (49:04):
Uh yeah, Baseball would probably have been Pete Rose because
I love the big red machine when I was a kid.
Yes you did, and you know Pete. Granted we're not
talking about character, so Pete Rose and then football later
in I like watching Barry Sanders Okay, basketball, Uh, Larry

(49:29):
Bird boxing.

Speaker 3 (49:30):
Uh, it's gotta be Tyson.

Speaker 4 (49:33):
Because I was going way back. I still watch his highlights.
I watched him chopped down. Remember when he got in
there with that with that guy that was so much
bigger than him, and they thought that guy would just
own him, and that guy gave him a mean look
and he chopped him down like a big old Oh yeah,
I mean.

Speaker 3 (49:47):
He was violent. Adler Baseball, basketball, football, boxing.

Speaker 6 (49:51):
So much of this is going to go back to
my childhood feelings. Uh, Baseball, I gotta go Bo Jackson.
I was five and a half years old when he
ran up the wall, and I remember talking to my
dad about that.

Speaker 5 (50:03):
He ran up the wall. Daddy ran up the wall, Yeah,
which is odd.

Speaker 6 (50:08):
I ended up much much later going to Auburn and
I ended up kind of retroactively become becoming an Auburn
made that Jackson fan.

Speaker 5 (50:16):
You ran up the wall, Bo Jackson football fan.

Speaker 6 (50:19):
In basketball, I would I would first say David Robinson,
but he got dominated so many times by Charles Barkley,
like in the semi finals of the playoffs, it hurts
so much. I got to go with when Tim Duncan
was added to the Spurs, so either Tim Duncan or
his his point man, managed Gen Nobili. He was just
so slippery and definitely the Spurs. Absolutely football Emmett Smith.

(50:43):
Just seeing a guy just run like that. I lived
in Texas at the time, so that was amazing. Boxing,
I gotta say it's it's been really cool seeing what's
his name, Gypsy King. I really I really heard Tyson Fury.
I really don't watch much boxing, so if I could
just go to m M A if that's okay.

Speaker 5 (51:04):
Gsp is one of the greats ever, George Saint Pierre.
He's just an.

Speaker 6 (51:07):
All around perfect perfect He's got a perfect game all
aspects of the game, wrestling, boxing, jiu jitsu, uh, striking,
all that. More recently, Alexander Volkanowski kind of did the
same thing. He went on a phenomenal run and he's
a small guy, so I'm thinking, oh, that could be me,
uh Max, Max Holloway showing.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
People I know who any of them are.

Speaker 4 (51:29):
You can't pick a fighter you want to like Tyson,
you want to know. It's surreal, like growing up and
like seeing somebody that you idolize, kind of in a
you know, an athletic, you know, superstar kind of meeting
Dale Murphy, playing with him in regions and then like
and like texting with him to try to book him

(51:49):
on the show.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
I was like, that's just kind of surreal.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
That's how I felt about ho Man.

Speaker 5 (51:53):
I watched Pro Stars.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
Is the Rick Burgess Show doing what he was born
to do, bush shoes.

Speaker 4 (52:19):
Let's face it, my skill set is limited. This is
about all I can do for a living. Glad to
be here and enjoying it with Speedy, Greg and Adler.
The team is churning on. Are you concerned these days?

Speaker 3 (52:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (52:33):
It's like we had some folks in the box seats
yesterday and they were like, there were some people in
the parking lot and like we pulled in.

Speaker 3 (52:41):
They sat there for a little while. Then they drove off,
and of course I made a joke.

Speaker 4 (52:45):
I said, they're probably have been casing your home and
making sure you're here.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
Now now they're going to go look for your house. Well,
and it's a.

Speaker 4 (52:52):
Joke, but I mean, these days, let's face it, peace
of mind and making sure your property is safe and
the people that you love are safe save it's high priority.
It's not as much of a given as it once was,
because why, you can control the way you behave, but

dot com slash Big Vox. A couple of things to
hit on, you know, watching in the political world. I

(54:49):
think we're seeing more and more now that a lot
of things, you know, we talk about this show. One
things we really wanted to concentrate on was that we're
going to stay in the real world because you see
the way the fake world is affect acting people's lives.
And one of the things I think we're seeing now
that the Democrats are not getting their way and they're
behaving like spoiled children who are now pitching a fit
and throwing themselves into the floor at the grocery store

(55:12):
demanding that they get some candy. We're starting to see
a side of them that shows that this touchy feeling stuff.
We've told you this before, it's not really who they are,
it's just what they pretend to be. Here's Jasmine Crockett.
Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat from Texas is going to catch
some flag. Not very nice as she refers to Governor

(55:34):
Abbott as governor hot wheels, because the Texas is wheelchair
bound and is mocking the fact, as we say in
Cavin County are mocking for the caller yesterday, the governor
calling him Governor hot Wheels.

Speaker 3 (55:51):
Here she is talking about that.

Speaker 12 (55:55):
Y'all know, we got Governor high Wheels down there.

Speaker 13 (55:58):
Come on now, and the only thing hot about him
is that he is a hot.

Speaker 3 (56:05):
Oh wow, there we go. Who's this genius? Greg?

Speaker 4 (56:07):
But this is a Democrat that's serving your country out
of the great state of Texas.

Speaker 3 (56:12):
I just want you to know that.

Speaker 4 (56:13):
I've watched interviews of hers way back when when she
started her political career.

Speaker 3 (56:17):
She didn't talk like that. Oh she didn't have that
at it. Well, we have that too, that's the next clip.

Speaker 6 (56:24):
I also want to point out she's speaking at a
human rights campaign.

Speaker 3 (56:29):
That's important to note their, mister.

Speaker 5 (56:31):
Adler, it's a human rights campaign event.

Speaker 6 (56:35):
You know the little equal sign bars that you see
people have these bumper stickers all the time, That's what
it's in reference to. And she's making fun of a
dude who had a tree fall on him when he
was twenty six and was paralyzed and has been in
a wheelchair ever since. And he's risen to the level
of being the governor of Texas. And she's making fun
of a dude for being in a wheelchair, and people
at this human rights campaign event just laughed at it.

(57:00):
Democrats aren't good people. Okay, I'm sorry, she's not a
good person.

Speaker 3 (57:04):
Let me that's probably a better way.

Speaker 5 (57:06):
Yes, I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (57:07):
That was on average. Adler. You might not be too
far off.

Speaker 6 (57:11):
If you're having to put a bumper sticker on your
car that says don't vandalize my tesla because I'm not
a Nazi. Maybe you're in the wrong political party. Maybe
your political party isn't doesn't have a lot of good
people in it.

Speaker 4 (57:22):
Well, and I'll address that in a minute, because I
saw a Democrat, a strategist talking about this in agreeing
with you, saying, our problem is we keep thinking that
it's not our message. We just keep looking for someone
who ma can deliver our message better. Now, our message
is the problem, and until we realize that, we're not
going to move forward. Here she is on Speedy's point

(57:43):
talking about that she kind of recreated herself to sound
a little more down home with the hood.

Speaker 3 (57:48):
Okay, I'm sorry I lost that clip. She's extremely privileged.

Speaker 4 (57:54):
Though she went to private school, she went to a
really high end college.

Speaker 3 (58:00):
And then so it's like when Vanilla I said he
was from the street.

Speaker 5 (58:03):
That yeah, funny, that's funny, Greg, he's a real gangster.

Speaker 3 (58:06):
See you in the new year.

Speaker 12 (58:08):
You know, no one could have told me that when
I went down to Austin now looks like a little
bit over a year ago, that I would be running
for Congress. So it's not what my plan was. But
what I've always decided is that I would step up
when there was a need.

Speaker 5 (58:25):
And make fun of people wheelchairs.

Speaker 4 (58:27):
And now she's sounding all like I'm from the hood
and when really that's just a persona that has been
made up, like most of the things that are based on.

Speaker 3 (58:39):
Fake not real.

Speaker 4 (58:42):
And like we said, if Donald Trump, which let's say
that he is capable of this, if Donald Trump had
called a Democrat governor governor hot wheels now and he's.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
He probably would.

Speaker 4 (58:55):
But the left would be losing their ever loving minds,
screaming how many?

Speaker 6 (59:00):
I mean for yes, for years they referenced he made
a funny hand motion talking about and he made funny
he did make that funny hand motion.

Speaker 5 (59:07):
I'm not sure what it meant.

Speaker 6 (59:08):
But we heard about that for years and years, saying,
see he's not a good person.

Speaker 3 (59:12):
Yep, you're right, Yep, we'll be back.

Speaker 4 (59:16):
Muscle Mark was interviewed yesterday. Speedy has the info.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. Don't forget the Wednesday
Bible study today at noon Central Time on the Rick
Burgess Show YouTube channel.

Speaker 3 (59:42):
I'm not sure what happened. All right, we're back, okay, Mack.

Speaker 4 (59:46):
Another of that one, cut cut five on CD ten,
Cut five on CD ten has trouble all right, so
we're back a couple of things that we want to
go ahead and get to. So let's do the back
on this first, A character was introduced to us. This
is a real person that we have. We didn't nickname

(01:00:07):
him Muscle Mark apparently where he works. Because I went
to pick up the ram fifteen hundred after I left
the life of the Subaru driver after a deer collided
into the ram. When I picked it up, I turned
the Subaru back in, I turned my kayak back in,

(01:00:27):
my sandals, and of course anything made from him, I
turned all that back in U and so I was.
I was then put in in the vehicle and told
we will now drive you to the body shop to
get your vehicle because it's a big operation.

Speaker 3 (01:00:49):
I said, yeah, I talked to Mark.

Speaker 4 (01:00:50):
As soon as I said that, a person who was
a coworker said, oh, mussele Mark. I didn't know what
they meant, and so when I got there, I recognized
him quickly standing there in the front of the body shop,
and I can tell pretty quick that he meant business.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:01:08):
He told me to go inside and settle up with
them financially, which I did. On what I still had
to pay on top of the insurance, my deductible yep.
And then he engaged me in a very interesting conversation
where I let the show down. I let the audience down,
I let the show down, I let my friends down,
I let my family down because he brought up topics

(01:01:32):
that I should have expanded on and I did not.
He was ready to go, and he said, ask me
when I got up to go to the show. I
told him three point fifteen. He said, got you by
an hour, my guard. And then he told me about
his life, a little bit, a little look into his
life that he gets it at two fifteen. It's a
sensible breakfast, gets updated on news and headlines. And then

(01:01:55):
the statement that changed everything. I was already pretty interested.
Then go out to the tree and I do my
workout because I live in a camper, and then I
come in, get showered and going to work. I did
not find out what he did on the tree. I
did not ask what he eats, and I didn't get

(01:02:16):
details on his life. And then this led to the
legend of muscle Mark. We tried to get him to
be on the show. He would not be on the show.
I took heat from people in the training industry. Why
did you not ask him about his tree workout? What
do we mean about a tree? Well we have those

(01:02:37):
answers today. Yes, Calvin Speedy Wilburn was sent as a journalist.
Muscle Mark agreed to speak to Calvin privately correct on
an assigned time. He gave Speedy yep, and the interview
has happened yep. And as it approached within about fifteen minutes,
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 3 (01:02:55):
I was getting kind of nervous. I'm about of course
you are.

Speaker 4 (01:03:00):
Yeah, I mean I'm thinking is he former like Special Forces?

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
You know? Is he we've joked about? Is he reacher?

Speaker 4 (01:03:06):
I mean there's a camper in the woods works out
on the tree. I mean, let's face it. Yeah. So
I just showed Greg a picture of shocked.

Speaker 3 (01:03:17):
Yes, I was shocked. Also, yeah, he is extremely fit.

Speaker 6 (01:03:21):
This picture but that we have behind him is a fake.
It's from GROC. I made it using AI. I just
typed in, like superjacked old guy working out in a tree.
This guy does not have I don't think as big
a muscles as the actual muscle Mark. No, you are correct,
So now I'm actually incredibly intrigued to know his workout
because the dude is is like general and steroids Jacked.

Speaker 3 (01:03:45):
Yeah, don't suggest that.

Speaker 5 (01:03:48):
I'm not saying that I'm just a tree.

Speaker 3 (01:03:50):
It's all natural bodybuilder Jacked.

Speaker 4 (01:03:52):
I took two pages of notes, and so I won't
bore y'all with needless information. But I was just trying
to write down everything he was saying. He was kind
enough to talk to me yesterday around dinner time. He
was going home from work and I was driving back
from Huntsville. And so you can either ask me questions
and we can go into different categories, or I can

(01:04:12):
just start talking and fill you in.

Speaker 3 (01:04:15):
So you just let me know. I want to I
want to cut to the chase.

Speaker 4 (01:04:17):
Let's get the answers that we have most salt, okay,
and then we can go back and fill in with antidotes.

Speaker 3 (01:04:23):
All right, What does he eat? Okay? Oh you went there.

Speaker 4 (01:04:28):
Yeah, well that's that was an order of the first
time he mentioned to me he's up at two fifteen. Yeah,
Muscle Mark, he he's on a pretty strict diet. Oh
I knew that, and does tons of meal prepping. Muscle
Mark had a health scare years ago, did not know
this a while back, and it kind of scared him

(01:04:50):
into doing better. And he actually was discovered that he
had a belly button hernia also known as the billy hernia.

Speaker 3 (01:05:01):
Oh yes, yeah, I did, uh and he improved. He
approve all this, Uh huh.

Speaker 4 (01:05:07):
And uh, I actually had mine while screaming at a
at a football game to the other receiver to get
on the line, and I felt my belly button givet
uh and so I fed yours climbing trade. Now we
quickly had something in common, so you knew I ran
with that. Through the process of looking into hernia surgery,
they discovered that he had prostate issues. Now here's what

(01:05:31):
threw them off. Though the p s A numbers came
back good. But through the process they figured out there
was there was an issue and ended up having to
have prostate surgery and thank god it was successful. But uh,
that got him into trying to get to get in
better shape because he said, living living in a camper,

(01:05:54):
he said, it's easy to have a Hey, we're on
vacation type mode of eating all the time. I'm hanging out,
I'm at a camp. So I hate to do this.
Why does he live in a camper. Well, you're jumping around.
He lives in a camper because in nineteen ninety eight
he and his wife relocated from Florida to Birmingham and

(01:06:15):
they lived in a house that was family owned and
although it had been on the market for a while,
they took a vacation and it was sold while they
were on vacation, and they had thirty days to find
a new home. Some of you live this life where
your house is on the market and somebody wants it.
But they're like, there's one condition. We got a we're
moving in and we need it now. And so for

(01:06:37):
a quick fix, say, they purchased a camper. Thinking because
they he and his wife Muscle Mark is married and
has three kids. I didn't see that come they She's
always kind of been intrigued with tiny living, and so
they had this They had this thought of getting a camper,
finding some land and then maybe either building or are

(01:07:00):
putting the camper on the land, I mean just having
a little bit of acreage, you know, and so and
so a quick fix. Because there was no land available,
they found a campsite. He's living close by, and that
was three years ago. Still campsite, and and yes, and
he jokes because his wife still hasn't found the perfect

(01:07:20):
piece of property. And I want to say hello to
his wife who watches and listens to the show.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
And is a big fan of the show.

Speaker 4 (01:07:29):
All right, So muscle Mark, it was necessity to go
to the camper and they just dig it and they're
still there three years later. Yes, and three kids. He's
married with three kids. Three kids, his kids. He has
a twenty one year old daughter who's about to purchase
her own camper. He has a fifteen year old son
and a thirteen year old daughter. Wow, and his wife

(01:07:50):
is not into working out on the tree. He did
let me know that, all right. So he is happily
married and big gloves life.

Speaker 3 (01:07:56):
Yeah, how big is he camp? Well?

Speaker 4 (01:07:57):
For a family of what five, it's a decent size. Now,
we didn't finish real quick on if I could. On
his his his health regiment. He said that you know,
he ballooned up to about two forty and you know,
it just wasn't living right. And a coworker actually made
a comment about about how he looked in.

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
At the shrubs. Oh really, And he went home and.

Speaker 4 (01:08:22):
At that point he said, I've got to change something
and so he started wanted to make his.

Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
Change a couple of I think a couple of years ago.
He looks like this only in a couple of years.

Speaker 4 (01:08:33):
Yeah, And he started looking remember trying to get down
to two forty. Yeah, and he discovered top health and
fitness coach for men over forty and fifty Clark bar
Bartram I believe is his name, and he is also
a prostate cancer survivor, so they had that in common,
and so he contacted them and they started a back
and forth. So he he kind of engaged with maybe

(01:08:54):
a health plan and nutrition plan, and they put him
on a nineteen hundred calorie diet per day because it's
all about counting and tracking calories to him, and does
the year where the calories come from from a nutrition stampo? Yes, yeah,
it needs to be good calories. And he quickly started
dropping weight. I'm talking about twenty thirty pounds, you know,

(01:09:14):
I mean really started feeling good. And milk prepping is
a big part of his day so that he doesn't
eat bad at work and he doesn't start cheating greg
On you know, ooey guy eat butter bars and all.

Speaker 3 (01:09:28):
That kind of stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:09:29):
Now he's landed at about three thousand calories a day.
That's a good that's a good spot for him. He
started at nineteen hundred calories a day and he said that.

Speaker 3 (01:09:41):
That's not stop. All right, So we come back.

Speaker 4 (01:09:43):
I want to know does he does he get specific
about foods he eats a little bit, but really more
about his real age, the type of tree he works
out on, what he uses on all that, what news
he watches, this morning schedule, and some other information that
might intrigue you about musselam Art with the with the

(01:10:06):
morning schedule, we got to know what requires two point
fifteen with that fixbo Okay, this.

Speaker 1 (01:10:11):
Is the Rick Burgess Show. He was told good luck
finding a job that would pay him to be the
class clown Rick Burgess.

Speaker 4 (01:10:29):
All right, so we're back a couple of things in
the text line we are getting to interview the information
from Mussell Mart. From the text line, Flip is asking
if the shirt I'm wearing today is one hundred percent
cotton and do we have it in three X Flip,
don't ask that question in the middle of this topic,
but anyway, it is one hundred percent cotton, Flip. And

(01:10:51):
these are from the mana Church dot com. I don't
know that we have three X. I assume we do.
We normally do. Uh, so you can find that out. Also,
somebody says, please share. Make sure that Muscle Mark knows
that men all over the country who need and want
to do a little better appreciate him giving the interview
to Speedy, even though this is not normally his thing.

Speaker 3 (01:11:11):
We are benefiting. What does he eat for breakfast?

Speaker 6 (01:11:13):
I can I ask a quick question, yes, because people
are asking. I showed that AI picture of Jack guy.
Can you send me the picture and I just not
show his face because the dude's easy.

Speaker 3 (01:11:24):
I mean that easy.

Speaker 5 (01:11:25):
That'll drive up our YouTube numbers. That guy is so jazz.

Speaker 3 (01:11:27):
Don't this this, don't make it weird. Don't make it weird.

Speaker 4 (01:11:32):
This was This was before he got to doing better.
This is after. This is before the This is before
the tree. This is after the tree. Hey, you guys,
before tree, a weird tree, before a tree. After the tree.
We will ask Muscle Mark if we can put a
picture without his face on it. We will not do

(01:11:52):
it without asking Speedy. What does he eat for breakfast?
Compare that to that picture he eats He eats two eggs,
one hundred grams egg whites, seventy five grams two percent
cottage cheese, and a scoop of whey protein mixed together
and cooked like a pancake, thirty grams thirty grams sugar

(01:12:15):
free syrup, and a banana.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
That's breakfast. Yep. Could you send that to me?

Speaker 4 (01:12:19):
Because I'm gonna have to deal with that, all right,
I'll be asked about that. I was asked yesterday about
it by a trainer, Mike, and he mill preps a lot.
He takes two hundred grams triple zero yogurt.

Speaker 3 (01:12:33):
We got three.

Speaker 4 (01:12:35):
Stalks of celry, sixteen grams of almond butter, eight ounces
lean ground beef, twenty eight free cheddar, three cups of romaine,
thirty four grams like one thousand island dressing, two turkey
and cheese wraps, and nice two cato buns West protein bar.

Speaker 3 (01:12:55):
All right, so Speedy, let's get to the tree.

Speaker 4 (01:12:56):
And he says that we can show the picture of
his body, just not from the neck up.

Speaker 3 (01:13:01):
Okay, sounds good.

Speaker 5 (01:13:02):
That's the part I'm interested in.

Speaker 4 (01:13:03):
Now the weird part is weird party is added likely
getting likely getting his own copy. All right, So now,
now do you want before the tree and then after
the tree. Well, what's before the this is before the tree.
Let me know about the tree. What's the workout on
the tree. Okay, all right, I'll send this in a
second right now, okay, okay, all right. So they moved

(01:13:25):
to this camp site three years ago, and he said
when they dropped the camper, and again that was not
the intention. It was hate to find the land. But
I told him his wife and mine are a lot
like that. They can't find the right land, if you
know what I mean, always getting links to look at this.
When he when he they dropped the trailer, he looked
up and saw a crape myrtle, a crape myrtle, and

(01:13:46):
he said, he said, hey, look at the crooks and
that crape myrtle. He envisioned what a workout would look
like on a crape myrtle in my backyard. I've got
him in the backyard. Oh no, yeah, And he said, man,
what I could do to that craik myrtle? Uh well,
let me rephrase that out and know if he said, sorry, Mark,

(01:14:08):
but it was I believe I could.

Speaker 3 (01:14:10):
Once against as I'm in.

Speaker 5 (01:14:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:14:11):
Yeah, now here's what's so weird.

Speaker 4 (01:14:13):
There's a gem across from where he his campaign didn't
need ay, but because he and when he.

Speaker 3 (01:14:18):
Said, please understand that.

Speaker 4 (01:14:21):
When I say I don't like people, I don't mean
I hate people who said this mark, he said, understand
that when I don't when I say I don't like
people said that, I don't mean that I hate people.

Speaker 3 (01:14:30):
But I just don't like to be around contention. He said.

Speaker 4 (01:14:33):
So that's why I don't go to a gym. I
never have, he says, he never.

Speaker 3 (01:14:37):
He didn't like crowds, crowds.

Speaker 4 (01:14:39):
Rather than going to the gym, he looked out at
that crape myrtle and he said, man, I think this
might work the perfect place for a workout. So he
got some t r X bands and he used them
for a while, and then he moved to some two bands.
He quickly maxed out on those though as far as
just what he could do. So he found what he

(01:14:59):
called all giant rubber bands, but the industry might call
them superbands.

Speaker 3 (01:15:04):
Greg.

Speaker 4 (01:15:04):
If you look back to the CrossFit and stuff, it's
the green, the red, the black. Yeah, I know what
those are, right, So that's what he currently used, and
he does what on them.

Speaker 3 (01:15:16):
He does all kinds of things.

Speaker 4 (01:15:18):
He says that the the method to working out is
a little different than what a lot of folks know.
It's all about uh stimulus muscle training.

Speaker 3 (01:15:27):
He said.

Speaker 4 (01:15:27):
Your muscles don't know the difference between a machine, free
weights or bands. It just knows the stimulus that you're
giving the muscles. And so he uses higher intensity, lower reps,
but can do anything from bench squats, tries flies. He
can do anything with the superbands that you can do
with a machine.

Speaker 3 (01:15:47):
With his craziness, the key he said he got.

Speaker 4 (01:15:49):
He goes high difficulty, low reps correct, easy, easy to do,
like lighter weight right, more rep right. Well, we would
say if it was weights, heavier weights, lower rep correct.
And because I asked him that, I said, do you
do high reps you know, you know, twenty thirty reps
or whatever, and he said, I used to. He goes,
and I'm not trying to be a powerlifter. Whey, I'm

(01:16:10):
doing six or eight reps, but I'll land somewhere around
ten to twelve reps.

Speaker 3 (01:16:14):
So it's not you know, high talking pull ups. We're talking.

Speaker 4 (01:16:17):
He's hanging everything, he said. Wilongs The workout one hour,
one hour, one hour working out, one hour workout, and
if you'll see the before and after pictures that we're
going to show here soon, and so all of you
make sure that you're checking us out here. At the
top of the hour, I'll get those over to Adler.
It's working, Yes, it is working.

Speaker 3 (01:16:38):
It is working. That along with the sensible diet. It
is working.

Speaker 4 (01:16:43):
How many days a week every day works? Oh of
course you think, do you think most of Mark takes time?
All that's and so he's up at two fifteen. He's
eating his sensible breakfast, which you gave us an example.
He's we'll get back to he's watched his news and
headlines right, which I got. I got what he watches
and how long? And that's sixty minutes on the tree, Craig, myrtle.

(01:17:04):
He must get to work there, I got when he
wants to arrive to work.

Speaker 3 (01:17:07):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:17:08):
He does have one issue with you, which concerned me
because because I got a little skied, and that is
on his age.

Speaker 3 (01:17:18):
Well, you just told me he's got teenagers. So I
realized I missed his age. He said that you thought
he was over sixty. Yeah, I thought he was my
age or older. He's fifty four.

Speaker 4 (01:17:28):
Well, that's not a big miss. It is I had
him older than me.

Speaker 3 (01:17:33):
Idea you did.

Speaker 4 (01:17:34):
He said that hurt his heart a little bit. Why
but but I mean, you know it.

Speaker 3 (01:17:39):
I told that. I said, look, I'm not a good
judge of age.

Speaker 4 (01:17:42):
I called him buddy because by then we were I said, hey, man,
I said, we've never been good with that, So give
Rick a pass on that.

Speaker 3 (01:17:50):
And it was nothing.

Speaker 4 (01:17:51):
And sometimes most of mark because I look so young
for my age. A lot of times I will age
people because of our young Yeah, I have, I have
when we come back, I have. Is he former military
or not? What new source does he go with? What
does he when? When when he comes in and he

(01:18:14):
mial preps for work, I kind of went over that.
How long does that take? How long of a community?
So does he have and does he stream like with
different streaming sources services from the camper or does he
go with more sensible you know, not not distracted type

(01:18:34):
simple living? Also his Uh, there's some other information here
when it comes to his.

Speaker 3 (01:18:42):
Wife and oldest daughter.

Speaker 4 (01:18:45):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:18:45):
And let's see what else am I missing?

Speaker 8 (01:18:48):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:18:48):
Also, I told you that his belly button hernie has
saved his life. You did I want to go a
little bit more into detail about because of that he
is here today and and and they started with getting
in prep and then what really the seriousness of what
they found.

Speaker 1 (01:19:04):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 3 (01:19:21):
You better listen up, you know, I we say as

Speaker 4 (01:19:45):
Muscle Mark information dominating this part of the show, won't
We'll get that done. A lot of you are asking
via the text and emails, can we get Muscle Mark's
reasonable breakfast on the way epsite.

Speaker 3 (01:20:00):
Yes, yes we can.

Speaker 4 (01:20:02):
Speedy gathered that information and so I'll pass that along
and we'll put it up there on Rick's Picks. So
a couple of questions before we move on any any
did he give any indication? Does he do any work
with his lower body? And does he do Somebody asking
if he's doing any cardio? The workout itself is cardio,

(01:20:23):
Yes it is. Yeah, the whole workout is car high intensity.
You think Mark stands around and takes break No, uh,
it is.

Speaker 5 (01:20:32):
He does low reps, high weight, high intensity.

Speaker 6 (01:20:37):
It all puts it all together, Muscle Mark More like
magic Mark.

Speaker 4 (01:20:43):
Okay again, I'm gonna request don't make it weird.

Speaker 3 (01:20:46):
Yeah, don't make it weird. Let's not do let's not
be a.

Speaker 5 (01:20:49):
Were nice camp goodness. Huh nice camper.

Speaker 4 (01:20:53):
Oh yeah yeah he uh he He said that that
camper life is pretty easy.

Speaker 3 (01:20:59):
It's easy to keep things clean and it's paid off.

Speaker 10 (01:21:02):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:21:02):
He said, Now this was not the intention three years.
I understand, but that's just kind.

Speaker 3 (01:21:06):
Of where he is.

Speaker 4 (01:21:07):
So him being out on his own, that's wrong. He
actually has a family. Correct. I thought he was my
age or older. He said, he's actually six years younger
than me, which he had an issue with. Understood, understood
what shad have thought that through?

Speaker 1 (01:21:20):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (01:21:20):
And so we have the breakfast which we went through,
which we'll put on rix picks. I'll get that from
Speedy today or you can pass it on to to
to our our gang to put it out.

Speaker 3 (01:21:32):
And so we'll put that in rix picks. Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:21:35):
The workouts seems like it's too much to try to
keep up with. We got that, We got the ordeal.
But you asked about lower body. Yes, lower body he
can he can do h with the super bands. He
does squats, lower legs, you know, box squats all that. Yeah,
he can. He can do anything really with those bands.
As he said on his crape myrtle, that's just out.

Speaker 3 (01:21:55):
He uses a.

Speaker 4 (01:21:55):
Crape myrtle is bands bands only, uh, and it's all
high intensity, low reps, high intensity, NonStop one hour.

Speaker 3 (01:22:04):
One hour.

Speaker 4 (01:22:05):
And he calls them giant rubber bands, but the industry
calls them super bands. Seen these the various colors represent
different resistance. Correct correct, So okay. So, and he has
three children. He has three children, two daughters, one son.
Oldest daughter is twenty one and about to purchase her
own camper, which he was laughing about because it's you know,

(01:22:28):
so let's talk about it in that world. Now, why
is he getting up at two fifteen? Well, he said
he always tried to work out before work and then
spend time with his wife. So after work, when everybody's home,
he doesn't have that on top of him to where
he can come home. He can he can spend time
with a family, He can have dinner and then get

(01:22:49):
to bed at a certain time, which I have his
bedtime too, Okay, But he he wakes up at two
fifteen am. As you buy an hour rick he watches
in this be a little disappointing, and he said, understand,
it's because all my camper gets he said, it's liberal leaning,
but he's smart enough to figure it out.

Speaker 3 (01:23:09):
Okay, so don't think he left no, Okay, he watches
World Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:23:14):
He watches World News Now on ABC because I saw
because at the time that's all that's own and basic information.

Speaker 3 (01:23:22):
He can sort out the political leaning.

Speaker 4 (01:23:24):
He I asked him Muscle Mark if if he subscribed
to any streaming services, and he said, that's too many distractions.
So he made that noise. Okay, yeah, so he's one
channel Mark two, right, Uh he is, uh, And so
he he wakes up and watches World News Now on
ABCON all right. He then kind of gathers himself and

(01:23:47):
goes to his Crape Myrtle where he works out for
an hour. Alright, so I got him on that Crape Myrtle.
Then probably I don't know how long the breakfast takes.
Do he give an indication?

Speaker 3 (01:24:00):
I got that? Oh you do, I'm sorry, Yeah, it's okay.

Speaker 4 (01:24:02):
So he watches the news for thirty five minutes, he said,
thirty to thirty five, gathers themselves, goes out to the
crape myrtle for about an hour. Then he comes back in,
takes a shower, and then Mick makes breakfast and starts
his milk for the day. So breakfast is after he
goes he works before eating.

Speaker 3 (01:24:21):
Okay, wow, I didn't see that coming.

Speaker 4 (01:24:22):
Yeah, comes back in, makes and eats breakfast. Then Mill
preps for the day and leaves leaves for work. Leaves
for work at five forty five am Central so that
he can be at work by six thirty to six
thirty am. All right, we had that time about it
to thirty five minute commute.

Speaker 3 (01:24:42):
You won't believe where he lives. It's I'll let you know.

Speaker 4 (01:24:45):
And he and he, and he says he does all
of this originally because the kids were younger, he kept
getting earlier and earlier and earlier, and then when they
relocated to where they are now, it had to be
of an earlier for him to get to work on time, understood,
And so he tries to get everything done on the
front end of work, so on the back end of
the day it can be all about the family and

(01:25:07):
enjoying himself with them, and then he doesn't have to
leave and go, well, let me go work.

Speaker 3 (01:25:10):
What times you get home from work? When's you go
to bed?

Speaker 4 (01:25:12):
He when I talked to him, he was on the
way home from work, and it was five thirty pm,
and he's in bed by eight thirty.

Speaker 3 (01:25:18):
He goes to bed. Okay, and he was.

Speaker 4 (01:25:21):
He was about ten minutes from home when we wrapped up,
so I could see him.

Speaker 3 (01:25:25):
Not a napper. No, you think I'm not a napper?

Speaker 4 (01:25:29):
You think you think you well, if he's in it
two fifteen though, he's on, he's yeah, and he's listening.

Speaker 3 (01:25:36):
He says he is. He is in bed by five
thirty pm. I'll be eight thirty. I mean eight thirty.
Thank you. Sorry. Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:25:43):
He said that his wife has keep it, has kept
him update on when we updated on, when we talk
about him.

Speaker 3 (01:25:50):
That's she'll text him and say, hey, they're a musclem oka.

Speaker 1 (01:25:54):
He does.

Speaker 4 (01:25:55):
And he said, I am so out of my element
right now because like antention, it's not that he's like
I'm a private person. It's just that he kind of
just just kind of to themselves.

Speaker 3 (01:26:06):
You know, he's a hard worker, a great.

Speaker 4 (01:26:09):
Husband, great dad out all that, and and this is
I'm on a nationally syndicated show.

Speaker 3 (01:26:14):
And if he doesn't a weird to me.

Speaker 4 (01:26:16):
If he doesn't want to go into a gym because
of working out with other people, then being before, you know,
somewhere between one and two million people, probably not his
thing either.

Speaker 3 (01:26:25):
Uh. His faith is very important to him. Good.

Speaker 4 (01:26:28):
He is not former military, and it's not reacher, he said,
I hate that surprising. I hope I'm not disappointing too
many people because out of the gate, he said, Hey,
this might be a little bit disappointing. I think the
mystery might be better than my story. I know, And
I said I don't know, I said, Rick, he was
just sleepy, bless his heart. You know, he wanted to

(01:26:49):
get to the next thing. He wanted his truck, and
he just didn't ask these questions. So now that's kind
of understand that.

Speaker 3 (01:26:55):
He kind of did. He was I could tell he
was a little disappointed in you.

Speaker 4 (01:26:57):
But but he said he was proud of yeah, for
losing the way, trying to do better, trying to do better.

Speaker 3 (01:27:03):
I give you that he no longer proud of me.
I think he's proud of you.

Speaker 4 (01:27:07):
I think you can be proud of somebody, but disappointed
and maybe one or two things.

Speaker 3 (01:27:11):
I have that every day. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, so, you know,
I thought, you know, you could have probably asked a
few questions. Do you think he was prompting me to
ask questions that I didn't ask.

Speaker 4 (01:27:21):
I don't think so, because I don't think he really
wanted to talk to you that much. I just think
he wanted to make sure you were happy with your truck.
He was an encouragement to me to disagree because he
came up and started by what time you get up?
That means I don't want to tell you what time
I get up? Well maybe so, maybe so there's nothing
wrong with that I'm saying. And he was an encouragement
to me that I'm proud to rick at that point.

Speaker 3 (01:27:40):
Yeah, I'm just show him. This is the before the
maple tree.

Speaker 6 (01:27:45):
I've actually craig myrtle just because I feel weird showing
a hadless I.

Speaker 3 (01:27:50):
Have a maple tree in my yard. Are you just
now feeling weird about how you've acted about it?

Speaker 6 (01:27:54):
I'm feeling weird showing a headless guy's bod, which is
severely jacked by the way. Okay, I'm just gonna show
it for a quick second and then come out of
it and it's just his Now, this is just.

Speaker 5 (01:28:04):
His next to now yeah, yeah, wow, the six pack
on this dude.

Speaker 3 (01:28:08):
Okay, all right, fifty cheese, you can create cheese on it.
That's enough. That's enough. Let's let's that's it's down fifty four.

Speaker 5 (01:28:17):
I hope I look like that at forty four.

Speaker 3 (01:28:18):
Yeah, we just showed a shirtless pen.

Speaker 5 (01:28:20):
I'm gonna have to take steroids to do that.

Speaker 4 (01:28:24):
So I would think Rick it dressed nice at work.
He probably, you know, he was.

Speaker 6 (01:28:29):
You could clean some clothes on those apps.

Speaker 3 (01:28:33):
You're back to making it weird.

Speaker 6 (01:28:34):
I'm clamenting a guy for working out hard weird.

Speaker 4 (01:28:39):
It feels unnecessary in the weird ones. When when you
said that, when you said that he was not for
the show.

Speaker 3 (01:28:47):
Just for ad Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:28:48):
If you you say it was a man of faith,
you do mean faith in Christ? Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah
and uh and he he he loves his family and
and can't believe they're still in the camper uh at
the lamp site because that was not the plan. But
they're making the most of it. And he said it's
an easy living. He said, it really is. You think
you can if you can get past some of the limitations.

(01:29:09):
He said, he's very claustrophobic. So at first he said,
at first it was small, and he was like, I
don't know about this, but you know it's easy to
keep clean, like you said that. The trees right outside
the camper, so that's easy.

Speaker 3 (01:29:23):
And they're still looking for land.

Speaker 4 (01:29:25):
It wasn't every time his wife thinks that they found
the perfect land by the time she does enough research
and soul, so he's still at the campsite.

Speaker 3 (01:32:08):
All right.

Speaker 4 (01:32:08):
A couple of things to run past you. The New
York Giants. The New York Giants have reached a twenty
one million dollar deal with Russell Wilson, despite Aaron Rodgers
being talked about. They have a I don't know that
they said no to Aaron. Aaron said no to them.

(01:32:29):
But the Giants twenty one million for one season of
Russell Wilson in his current state?

Speaker 3 (01:32:38):
What say you? All right?

Speaker 4 (01:32:40):
So the Steelers' depth chart was justin fields and he
got traded to the Jets, right, I think some of
you and now Russell Wilson to the Giants.

Speaker 3 (01:32:50):
Correct? So does that mean Aaron Rodgers to the Steelers?
You think? Well, I know that's what you're thinking.

Speaker 4 (01:32:57):
I know that's what you're saying, that the Steeler is
talking to Steelers. The Vikings and others have been floated
around as a possibility. New York also like they're kind
of making room for that, don't you think it does?
New York also picked up Jameis Winston as a backup. Yeah,
so okay, so yeah, there you go. Uh and that's
uh that they thought that was going to be. He

(01:33:18):
was going to be back up d Aaron Rodgers, but
now it looks like it will be Russell Wilson. Russell
Wilson is thirty six, Greg The question, I know you
want to know twenty one million, ten to five is guaranteed,
guaranteed ten five is guaranteed for a lot of money.

Speaker 3 (01:33:31):
But in their world one year, that's one year.

Speaker 4 (01:33:36):
He didn't have a horrible year last year, even though
I think they lost like last the last four.

Speaker 3 (01:33:40):
Or five in the run.

Speaker 4 (01:33:42):
M h, I don't know, I don't know what what
what do you think? I think that the Giants? Don't
you agree they need one year? Because do you think
they will draft Shador sant Raft and maybe give him
a year to maybe be under wouldn't be a bad

(01:34:03):
idea under Russell and doing it big. Then they got
rid of Daniel Jonesiel John you should probably giving him
a big extension.

Speaker 3 (01:34:12):
I thought he was going to work out. Didn't come
out like he was early. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:34:16):
It does just seem a little They obviously need somebody
for a year or two, uh, to kind of get
keep things going.

Speaker 3 (01:34:24):
But I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:34:25):
I'm interested on Aaron Rodgers because where's he gonna go?
You know, Greg says he should retire, probably so, but
the fact he hadn't announced it means that he don't
want to go out like he did with the Jets.

Speaker 3 (01:34:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:34:35):
And the Steelers already. I mean they're ready right now.
They did well last year with Russell Wilson. Their defense
not real good well, and they do need some work there,
I give you, right.

Speaker 2 (01:34:45):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:34:45):
Stefan Diggs, at thirty one years old, has just agreed
to a sixty nine million dollar deal with the Patriots.

Speaker 3 (01:34:56):
Shot Stephan Diggs and he missed half the season he was.

Speaker 4 (01:35:01):
With the Texans last year. Had a four year stint
in Buffalo, five seasons in Minnesota, and then had the
one season with the Texans last year.

Speaker 3 (01:35:10):
You know, this was Is he worth that?

Speaker 10 (01:35:13):
I know?

Speaker 4 (01:35:14):
Thirty one? Uh, banged up a little bit a little disappointed.
I thought, you know, there was rumors that he might
go to the Cowboys. What the heck are they doing?
Are that who they get? I keep forgetting that. I mean,
Dak needs some help, and I thought maybe he would
go there. But yeah, this one surprised me. It's all
how healthy Digs is when you go back and find
his healthiest season. His healthiest season was in twenty twenty

(01:35:37):
three with the Bills, where he he had eight receiving
touchdowns in one eighty three yards of reception. That's productive,
but that was twenty three. Now this just then the
Titans have signed Muscle Mark.

Speaker 3 (01:35:54):
So where where do you think Rogers is going to
end up?

Speaker 4 (01:36:00):
I don't know. Do you want him to retire gregor
is he trying to say let me? Is he trying
to do like I think it's Steelers are give me
one one more year.

Speaker 3 (01:36:09):
I'm interested. I hope he does go somewhere.

Speaker 4 (01:36:11):
Just do I think I think he's done, but I'd
like to see him see how it turns out. What
it looks for Aaron Rodgers Rogers to break the huddle,
you know they kind of still do that and with
or something Steelers helmet on that is going to the line.

Speaker 3 (01:36:25):
Why I thought how a y'all gonna feel. Rick, You're
big Steelers, both of you.

Speaker 4 (01:36:30):
Well, I'm still Green Bay more than Steelers. But you know,
so that's weird to watch him leave one team that
I still love and to another team that I have
love for and really loved in the past. You know,
it's you know, my oldest son is doing the million
dollar quartet again. He's been Johnny Cash, this time in Milwaukee.

(01:36:52):
And he landed and he sent me a picture of
all the Packers stuff. He said, Dad, I have landed
in the land of the Packers. And to him, I said, look,
throw throw Wingo's name around there. It still it still
holds a little.

Speaker 3 (01:37:03):
Water there there. Uh huh, yeah, nice. So I want
the pack to be good again.

Speaker 4 (01:37:10):
Uh but Rogers with the with the Steelers, I got
a that just feel it just feels weird, you know.
But I thought Rogers was a little weird even though
it was Wisconsin. Maybe it made it less weird. But
something about the blue collar world of the Steelers.

Speaker 3 (01:37:24):
But I mean, see you a big Steelers fan. Oh, yes, see,
you need to ask him.

Speaker 4 (01:37:27):
I've got a buddy mine, Sam Fuller. I'm calling you
because I mean you talking about a Steelers steel See
what they think.

Speaker 5 (01:37:34):
They're saying that Steelers is the most likely.

Speaker 6 (01:37:37):
Uh, it's really Rogers only place to go, and really
the Steelers only choice of that.

Speaker 4 (01:37:42):
I mean, you just got rid of it, right, You're
all right? Let's go phone calls an X. Let's see

We'll see you, Lord Willing a little bit later on.
Also some things to pass along while you're dialing right now.
From the text line, Speedy said the Steelers were okay
last year, not the Giants.

Speaker 3 (01:38:56):
Speedy never said the Giants were good last year.

Speaker 4 (01:38:58):
Were talking about Aaron Rodgers jumping then because they're ready
to wear it right. Somebody was being critical of you
claiming the Giants were good last year. You said the
Steelers were pretty good last year, had good receivers, defense struggled,
didn't really stop anybody. But if somebody can get those
receivers the ball, you may be in business. But Russell
Wilson at times really didn't play that bad. But they
need a little more help on the entire team. But

(01:39:19):
Speedy was discussing the Steelers, not the Giants. The Giants
were bad. All right, A couple of things to share
with you. We will we will continue to try to
get the information out that you're asking about on Muscle Mark.
So don't worry about that. We'll worry about Yeah, we'll
try to get that. And he did text me because
a lot of folks are asking what about if it's raining, right,

(01:39:40):
you know, what does he do? And his reply to
me was I get wet.

Speaker 3 (01:39:44):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (01:39:44):
See that's the man that's gonna get his work out
of him. Uh, let's go to David. David is in
Prattville if you want to join us Dallas now and
there's room available since we're ten lines strong. David, Hello
and welcome to the Rick Burgess Show, How are you.

Speaker 7 (01:39:59):
I'm doing well?

Speaker 2 (01:40:00):
Sir?

Speaker 10 (01:40:00):
I think there's only one way to honor a muscle mark.
It's by adding a muscle marked icon, not his boxing
the weight lifting tikon to the wheell that when somebody
lands on that icon, the winner gets to pick out
of all y'all to do ten push ups while listening
to the Rocky theme song.

Speaker 3 (01:40:19):
So wow.

Speaker 4 (01:40:19):
So it's a punishment, a little workout challenge to the staff.

Speaker 3 (01:40:24):
Funny.

Speaker 4 (01:40:25):
And so if it lands on it, they picked the
member of the staff that has to do ten push
ups while listening to just ten.

Speaker 10 (01:40:32):
Ok, and you crank up, you know, you know, you know,
you know, you start playing the Rocky theme song. You know,
you get pumped up. Ten push ups.

Speaker 3 (01:40:38):
That's it. Okay, you know what. That's not a terrible idea.

Speaker 4 (01:40:43):
Uh and it sure does have Adler excited, But I
think we were all ready to move off of that, sure.

Speaker 3 (01:40:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:40:49):
And and people were asking you did cover the how
how a surgery ended up saving his life?

Speaker 3 (01:40:56):
You get that? But I think we got that in,
didn't we. Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:40:59):
Yeah, he was just trying to somebody he had put off,
anybody that has any type of hernia you know, you
put it off, and you put it off and put
it off, and it was what they called the belly
button hernia.

Speaker 3 (01:41:12):
And finally he said, okay, that's it.

Speaker 4 (01:41:14):
So he kind of went in for some testing some
different things, and they found out that his if I
could just here it go, that his his tubes from
the blattery to the prostate were extremely dilated.

Speaker 3 (01:41:28):
And did he want you to share this?

Speaker 4 (01:41:30):
Yeah, he said it was okay, okay, And and so
through the discovery, even though his PSA numbers were good
p s A numbers, that there was a problem. And
so they realized that a section of his prostate was
actually blocked.

Speaker 3 (01:41:47):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:41:47):
And so they had to go in and remove that.
But if it wasn't for someone talking him in to
go in and getting that looked at about the hernia,
it would wouldn't have led to this other and he
so it was just amazing. How many another how many
times have we heard stories like that? I mean, we'll
look at uh Bubba and his liver. If you're going

(01:42:10):
to get a check out, it doesn't don't discover that. Blessing,
You're you're exactly right. I know that you and uh Adler,
are you a Costco guy. Oh yeah, did you see
this story today that that Costco shoppers are rejoicing some
of these headlines rejoicing rejoicing as store introduces new takeout

(01:42:30):
item with an enticing twist on a fan favorite.

Speaker 3 (01:42:34):
Yeah uh.

Speaker 4 (01:42:36):
This has to do obviously with their groceries, and now
they're working with a popular fast food chain, Chick fil A. Yep,
Chick fil A has confirmed it is now offering two
pack boxes of its signature sauce at Costco, Sam's Club
and Bjay's Warehouse for around nine dollars. Chick fil A sauce?

Speaker 3 (01:42:59):
Nice? Which one? Is this the a sauce? But aren't
there different ones?

Speaker 5 (01:43:04):
Or the one just called that there's one that is
called Chick fil A sauce?

Speaker 4 (01:43:07):
Are you talking about the tangy smoky flavored one that
people like?

Speaker 3 (01:43:11):
They?

Speaker 4 (01:43:12):
So now you can you can. It says that this
condiment has developed a near cult following.

Speaker 6 (01:43:19):
Yeah, but you know this sauce, the sauce is but
you can also get these little the little things. So
maybe the Costco is just adding a big bottle or
something because the little guys I thought you could buy
in the store already.

Speaker 4 (01:43:30):
Too, So well it says that for years, Chick fil
A has sold single to your point, okay, Adler sixteen
ounce bottles of their signature sauce, but now they're going
to They only had them at you know, Target and Walmart.
So now they're going to have them available at Costco
like they've never been there, and it's going to be

(01:43:51):
two pack including two twelve ounce bottles.

Speaker 3 (01:43:55):
Now, okay, a little big guy, Oh I see it. Yeah,
these are but a cult following for Chick fil A.

Speaker 4 (01:44:02):
So the Chick fil A thing, it's it's hey, the
sauces are We've talked about the Comeback sauce and the
Chick fil A. What is y'all when it comes to
fast food the sauces that these different, uh you know
fast food guys offer. Is there one that is your
most favorite?

Speaker 3 (01:44:20):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (01:44:20):
Is it the Chick fil A sauce or the comeback?
I know Jack's has a good one.

Speaker 13 (01:44:23):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:44:23):
I don't do a lot of sauce. Okay, yeah, I'm
not a big sauce scuy, huge sauce scouy. I mean
I like it at home, but if I'm doing fast food,
I normally don't fool with it because it's another something
I've got to open and deal with.

Speaker 3 (01:44:35):
I get that, yeah, and I'm just kind of moving on.

Speaker 5 (01:44:38):
Chickil A sauce is a blend of honey, mustard, barbecue
and ranch. I do like it.

Speaker 6 (01:44:42):
I put it on some I just did some nuggets,
some chicken nuggets in the oven this week.

Speaker 5 (01:44:47):
And I had an extra little thing, you know, from
takeout or whatever. I haven't had it in forever, but
y'all have.

Speaker 6 (01:44:53):
If y'all had Guthries sauce before Guthries, dippy sauce is
real good, tangy good.

Speaker 4 (01:44:58):
Whatever happened to Guthries, there was like there was fun.
There was like a bunch of them, and now there's
not many of them all.

Speaker 6 (01:45:03):
It was like a Guthries boom, I think, and I think,
I think you get sick of Guthries evidently because I'm
stopped going.

Speaker 4 (01:45:10):
Well, if you go somewhere every day, you probably get
a little sick of it. But yeah, there's a location
not too far from the studio. It's doing extremely well.
Remember they went away and then it came back and
we got that location. Which when I when my my
kids who all live out of town, when they come
in here, they'll hit that on their way home.

Speaker 3 (01:45:25):
You know, Hobie loves guthries really good. I saw that coming.

Speaker 4 (01:45:28):
Hey, but no, do have you ever met these people
speaking of your sauces and all this? So a lot
of you around the country. I don't even know if
y'all have this chain everywhere. It's definitely an ikon in
the South called Milo's. M I l o Milos. Well there,
their burger has a sauce on it, almost like a gravy. Yeah,
have you ever been around those people that will eat

(01:45:49):
at Milos? But they asked for the Milo burger without
the signature sauce. Oh, well, shouldn't you just be gett
a bar somewhere else?

Speaker 10 (01:45:56):
Now?

Speaker 3 (01:45:56):
I mean, is there a need? Isn't that the.

Speaker 6 (01:45:58):
Whole I can understand that it's a unique sauce, But
when I go to Malo's, I want the I want
the Malosi.

Speaker 11 (01:46:02):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:46:02):
If I was just gonna eat a hamburger that was sauceless,
wouldn't I just eat a hamburger somewhere else?

Speaker 7 (01:46:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:46:07):
Maybe their friends made them go or something.

Speaker 3 (01:46:09):
Oh so you're talking about someone who's reluctantly there.

Speaker 5 (01:46:11):
I guess, so okay, because everybody goes to Malo's.

Speaker 3 (01:46:14):
You remember that song when it stuck in your head? Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:46:16):
Yes, And then a lot of you might remember them
from the They also have a sweet tea that's in
grocery stores. Uh, it's pretty well known. Yeah, and now
the Sweet Tea has become its own thing. Right, then
we get involved in them a little bit and illegal.

Speaker 3 (01:46:32):
Do you want to know what surprised me.

Speaker 4 (01:46:33):
I was grabbing I think one of the boys was
home and I was out coming through towns, like, hey,
grab something for y'all.

Speaker 3 (01:46:39):
I'm just grabbing some lunch. Anybody want anything?

Speaker 4 (01:46:42):
And they did, and I was gonna run through Chick
fil A, and I was surprised that they said I
want Polynesian sauce.

Speaker 3 (01:46:48):
And I'm like, what, it'd almost let you down a
little bit as a day.

Speaker 4 (01:46:51):
It does, it does. But then I tried it and
I was like, hmmm, it's good. It's real good. Okay,
real good. Would you move to the one slot. It's close,
it's close, It's it's good to kind of move it
around a little bit. Getting a lot of guthries are
all over the place.

Speaker 3 (01:47:09):
It tags here.

Speaker 6 (01:47:10):
Taco Bell, fire Sauce, Taco Bell fire sauce is legit.

Speaker 3 (01:47:15):
Love it.

Speaker 4 (01:47:15):
So wait a minute, you're gonna go to Taco bell
where you're already doing a food daredevil move, and you're gonna.

Speaker 5 (01:47:22):
Add what fire sauce?

Speaker 4 (01:47:24):
You're gonna add fire sauce to the gut bomb you're
already taking. Hey, let's make that bomb a little more just,
I mean, let's add to it.

Speaker 6 (01:47:33):
Yeah, if I'm jumping out of a plane without a parachute,
I might as well juggle at the same time.

Speaker 4 (01:47:38):
Right, Because I'm gonna tell you there's no doubt that
you have on that one getting a lot of raising canes. Yeah,
I'm here about that too. I think they're starting to
come our way now, Okay, Yeah, I've heard.

Speaker 3 (01:47:50):
A lot about that. That's the sauce is good. Yeah,
so all that all right, we'll come back. I'm hungry again.

Speaker 4 (01:47:59):
All right.

Speaker 3 (01:47:59):
People say, that's right. Do you have the diabolo sauce?
You ever had that?

Speaker 5 (01:48:03):
And so many comments on our YouTube chat here too.
I've never had the Diablo, but the fire is good
and plenty hot for me. Plus I'm Marty jumping out
of a play while juggling.

Speaker 1 (01:48:13):
Yeah, moving back, This is the Rick Burgess show. The

It's it's just our planning preventing poor performance, knowing how
long things take. Here's what time I need to be here,
Here's how long it takes to get there, and then

a good one. I love this judge position because I
actually don't have to make the decision.

Speaker 5 (01:49:43):
You guys are the jury, y'all are the deciders.

Speaker 3 (01:50:06):
Are we in? Okay? Here we go.

Speaker 4 (01:50:08):
This comes from Jesse asking for a vox verdict. I
grew up playing a little ball. That's what he opens
to start. I was always taught to wear my baseball
cap the correct way, meaning facing forward. It was it
was considered disrespectful to wear it backward. I have taught

(01:50:29):
my sons the same thing. Seems pretty like I'm wondering
where he needs us right now? Stay with it. Recently, though,
I have faced a dilemma and need a ruling from
my brothers. I recently turned forty and my wife tells
me that she wants me to start wearing my hat backward.

(01:50:51):
Is it backwards or backward? What's the correct backwards? Backwards?
Thank you, judge. I do it as a joke and
she really likes it. Here's what I would like for
you guys to decide. Actually, there's three different conclusions we
can come to.

Speaker 3 (01:51:12):
Number one.

Speaker 4 (01:51:12):
Am I just too old to do this, even if
my wife requested. Bottom line is, I just can't do
it because I'm plus forty now and apparently Caucasian, because
I think you allow black men to wear their hat backwards'
grave if I'm not mistaken, or is forty the cutoff.

Speaker 3 (01:51:28):
For both white and black? It was thirty, It was
thirty for black.

Speaker 4 (01:51:32):
I know, I know you would let black men wear
their hat backwards longer than white men. Yeah, it's matter,
but he kind of violates both, right, Yeah, so if
he's forty regardless of ethnicity, okay, all right, he said,
So that's one. I just don't do it because it
just can't be allowed. Okay, that is a possible ruling,
and he realizes, He says, if you're trying to be

(01:51:53):
like it's a fashion statement, well, okay. Number two, I
just do it behind closed doors so that my sons
don't see me.

Speaker 3 (01:52:01):
They never have to answer to them.

Speaker 4 (01:52:03):
If he was the type that well, he said, he said,
so that is an option. I just do it secretly
and and and let my wife see it. Or three, Hey,
my wife loves it. So I'm free to do this anytime.
And everybody just needs to get over it if it
flips a switch with my wife?

Speaker 3 (01:52:18):
Who cares? I got my ruling?

Speaker 4 (01:52:19):
Oh, I know you do, all right, So Jesse, here's
here's that's before us men, Greg, Greg?

Speaker 3 (01:52:27):
What say you? Jerry one?

Speaker 4 (01:52:29):
And this is a this is a touchy subject with you.
This is something that you get where he's coming from.
But he's already laid this reel down. Of course, you know,
with kids, I don't really care what they do, you know, right,
but especially at this point, why why bother? But the
wife likes it, Yeah, but I'm sure she's mad about

(01:52:50):
something else.

Speaker 3 (01:52:53):
You're saying somewhere.

Speaker 4 (01:52:54):
Whatever game you have here, it gets canceled somewhere else.
So just just leave your head on, all right. So
you say no, he's too old, bottom line, Yeah, because
he don't want to do it all right. By the way, Ada,
we could have a hung jury, which you may have
to rule now. I know that normally would be a mistrial.
All right, So Greg is down for too old. Do
not do it no matter what? Yeah, all right, speeding.

Speaker 3 (01:53:16):
There's not enough benefit there, okay.

Speaker 4 (01:53:18):
Where your hat backwards at home? Outside the home, get
it on right? If your boys see your hats on
backwards at home. Tell them your mom digs it and
they'll understand later in life. Is that number two then yeah, yeah,
just wear it behind closed doors, maybe around the house.

Speaker 5 (01:53:36):
God, dur number one, your time has expired. Stop interrupting.
Juror number two.

Speaker 4 (01:53:41):
I'm sorry. So we have one juror that says too old.
No matter what Speedy says, do it, but do it privately.
If your sons do see you, explain to them why
you're doing it right, And hey, I know I'm probably
contradicting what I've told y'all to do. But mama like
and that's why, Daddy you're doing it. Okay, Now you
could just say mamack in day, he's gonna do it

(01:54:01):
and don't care what anybody thinks.

Speaker 3 (01:54:03):
Wow, but that not.

Speaker 4 (01:54:03):
We aren't going to Walmart like that. So you know,
no no public, no, no, nothing in public?

Speaker 3 (01:54:08):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:54:08):
Now, I will say this, How about I'm on a jog.
It's wendy in my hat that it keeps getting pushed back.
What about turning around shooting a gun?

Speaker 3 (01:54:18):
That's why. Yeah, yeah, their circumstances.

Speaker 4 (01:54:21):
I stand for it. That is not what we're ruling
on average. I would just say keep it at home.
Your wife loves that. Do that, but out in public,
just wear it right, like I'm sixty. But if I
get on a four wheeler and I've got a cap on,
I'm gonna turn it around.

Speaker 3 (01:54:33):
Yeah, of course i won't blow it right.

Speaker 4 (01:54:34):
But that doesn't count. Now that didn't count. Make an adjustment,
we're not talking about it. If something functional, well afder,
we're gonna you're gonna have to decide, because I'm actually
going three.

Speaker 1 (01:54:44):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:54:45):
I believe if this is something that your wife digs
and it flips a switch and she thinks she looks
sharp with that cap on backwards, I'm putting it on backwards.

Speaker 3 (01:54:52):
I don't give a rip who colp season.

Speaker 4 (01:54:54):
Oh, and then if I start, if my son's come
up and say, Dad, well you said you would tell them,
then you wa If my sons came and said, Dad,
you won't let us do that, and I say no.
But if your wife ever decides she wants you to
wear your hat around backer when you get married, go
ahead and do it so dad. Mama thinks Dad looks
good at forty plus with his hat with his cap
on backwards. And when I put my cap on backwards,

(01:55:16):
Mama like and so I'm gonna wear it that way,
and I couldn't give a rid with anybody else things.
I got one woman in this world that I want
to be attracted to me, and if this helps, I'm in.

Speaker 3 (01:55:25):
How about this? We have three different rulings. Adly, how
was Speedy's different?

Speaker 5 (01:55:30):
I thought Speedy said?

Speaker 3 (01:55:31):
He said, I'm.

Speaker 4 (01:55:32):
Private, I'm at home only, home only, which was his
second choice, and he hides it from his kids.

Speaker 3 (01:55:38):
Okay, I'm now going to see it. That's fine.

Speaker 4 (01:55:42):
Yeah, but he said in ruling too, so that my
sons don't see me. Oh well, I mean, what are
we closing the door, going hey baby? And then turn
your hat on backwards? I mean I was I was
expanded a little bit more than that. I was just
like where I was just like, wear it at home.
If the guy the boys said explained to him, that's
still a two though, because you're saying to do it private,
I'm saying private are public?

Speaker 3 (01:56:02):
Who cares? Okay? So wow, this is big.

Speaker 5 (01:56:10):
I'm gonna have playing.

Speaker 6 (01:56:11):
I will judge on this judiciously and arbitrarily. I will arbitrate, okay,
And this is America, and sometimes we got to do things.

Speaker 5 (01:56:24):
If we're trying to, you know, make something happen in
the ladies department.

Speaker 6 (01:56:29):
Sometimes it's dishes, sometimes it's a card, sometimes it's a
hat on bators.

Speaker 3 (01:56:34):
If it was as simple as turn your hat around.
But I wish that was a real world. Yeah, wouldn't
that be nice? Yeah, that's different. I'll change my vote. Well, apparently,
he says, he said, he said. It's helping.

Speaker 6 (01:56:48):
So and in the risk of having a hung jury,
I'm going to rule in favor of doing whatever you want.

Speaker 5 (01:56:55):
Dude, this is America and we're man to do whatever
you want.

Speaker 4 (01:56:58):
So you're a sad way if you wear a public
private whatever, I momacs that, don't try to hide it
on the sidebar, on the sidebar under no circumstance. When
you wear a flat, man, no unless you're a skateboarder
or break down.

Speaker 3 (01:57:16):
Yeah I agree with that. No flat, no flat. What
about Camo long coming in?

Speaker 10 (01:57:20):
We have that?

Speaker 3 (01:57:21):
Oh hey baby, But.

Speaker 6 (01:57:23):
If that's if poll it took spinning a hat around,
I'd look like a helicopter.

Speaker 3 (01:57:27):
My problem is becus i's.

Speaker 5 (01:57:30):
I looked like a walking helicopter.

Speaker 3 (01:57:32):
Why are you spinning your hat around?

Speaker 4 (01:57:33):
I'm miss your long face. My wife actually thinks me
and caps makes me.

Speaker 3 (01:57:37):
Like a bullet, you like a human bullet.

Speaker 3 (02:00:22):
So there's all that. A couple of things we're talking.

Speaker 4 (02:00:24):
About the ruling on the hat being backwards, and that
my wife says that when I try to wear a
fitted cap backwards, that I look like a human bullet
because of the way my face is shaped. And she goes,
you like a bullet. And I told her, I just said,
let me tell you something.

Speaker 3 (02:00:42):
You don't know. Honey, you missed it, I.

Speaker 4 (02:00:44):
Said, when I had that screaming mullet, boy, did you
and I would get the fitted dark colored cap and
put that on backwards, and that long hair flowing out
the back protected by the bill of the hat. Turned around,
you talk, I said, you don't know what you missed,
red neck?

Speaker 3 (02:01:02):
Heaven, good night?

Speaker 4 (02:01:04):
That that that that main flown out the back of
that backwards fitted cap.

Speaker 3 (02:01:08):
Good gracious, didn't it?

Speaker 4 (02:01:10):
I told my kid, I mean, I feel it flow
back there in the wind. You think you think we
I didn't have it going Oakland Raiders had, Oh my goodness,
the Raiders hat backwards. Forgot what had For some reason,
I had a fitting, fitted Michigan hat that I'd go
to the second so anyway, But but people are and
people are putting funny things on the text. One guy says,
I turned my cap around backwards outside chopping wood and

(02:01:32):
Mommy liked so.

Speaker 3 (02:01:34):
When we were kids.

Speaker 4 (02:01:35):
And it wasn't suddenly you decided you want to wear
this camouflage hat all the time.

Speaker 3 (02:01:39):
You bring this up.

Speaker 4 (02:01:39):
It was one of them Honting. It was one of
the Honting hats almost like it was like like dad
would wear yeah, yeah, old rabbit hunting hat and RICK'SI
that was his thing and he wore it all who
tore it up?

Speaker 3 (02:01:51):
The dog?

Speaker 4 (02:01:52):
You dog got it? And then mom soda Blue sister
Bull's sister Denise, Denise right, the bulls your hat.

Speaker 3 (02:01:59):
I think their dogs one to day their dog tore
my hat. It broke my heart because I thought I
had it going and that all the time. All the time.

Speaker 4 (02:02:07):
I just started wearing a camel hat all the time.
It wasn't like a camp It was these these you
know what I'm saying, hunting style almost like the robin
Hood kind of looked well, it wasn't a robbing, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (02:02:20):
It's a cameo, it's not a cap. It was kind
of of here it was.

Speaker 4 (02:02:23):
It had it had to flip up like this, and
our dad wore one every time we hunted. I guess
I thought I was being a little dead, was just
gonna make it year round. I thought it looked good
in it, And so Bull's sister because their dog tore
my hat up. So Bull, who was one of our friends,
and God rest is so But let me tell you what,
wasn't nothing greater than Bull and sheeaw acres number one.

(02:02:43):
And he loved Chuck Foreman and he loved he loved
the Minnesota Vodkings because his family was from up north
and he but anyway, his sister took a blue jeans.
She just the pocket off a pair of blue jeans
and made a patch out of it. And then I thought,
my gosh, I didn't know this hacking get any cooler
when you now now I'm wearing it. They used to
take a pencil stick in the pocket. I forgot it once.

Speaker 3 (02:03:04):
I thought I looked good with the with the bandanna
rolled up around my head. I thought that looked you sure,
not over the top one, but like a headband. Still
not whenever you whenever you turn the sides up, could
you clip it? I mean, like, was that farkay? It
even had the inside liner. You could pull some ear
things down, but the real thing, Okay, Yeah. In those days,

(02:03:25):
a lot of men were this way went. He had
it on a lot of this thing. A lot of men.

Speaker 4 (02:03:29):
Yeah, a lot of men wore this as their standard
honey hat. No, no, no, you can't find it. They're
they're they're olds cool. Yeah, I mean it was way back.
Matter of fact, we have dads in his as a
tribute to him in that room. Campus's sitting over on
the dresser. Nobody's nobody's found it.

Speaker 3 (02:03:46):
Okay, okay, close, close.

Speaker 5 (02:03:50):
It's got a rim all the way around.

Speaker 3 (02:03:52):
It takes the ear thing off, push it up in there,
and that's what it was. You're there now, Yeah, that
thing here comes right?

Speaker 5 (02:04:00):
Who had trademark?

Speaker 3 (02:04:02):
Not sure why he's wearing it? Okay?

Speaker 4 (02:04:04):
Uh those you are asking about the shirt that I
had on today with multiple multiples. This shirt was available
at the men Man Church conferences and I'm pretty sure
it's still at the Manchurch dot Com in the store.
It's got the line of Jude on it and then
the verse.

Speaker 3 (02:04:19):
You know if you had that cameo.

Speaker 4 (02:04:22):
I you know what, I'm bringing it back. I'm wearing
Dad's hat. I'm gonna start what camo pattern maio. The
early stuff okay, we never knew what anything we're called.
It was just your standard military before they went. It's
like everybody when we were kids in the seventies, everybody
wore the same pattern.

Speaker 3 (02:04:42):
I don't think any of us knew whe it was.

Speaker 4 (02:04:44):
It was the same pattern that Larry had in that
picture when he was tearing that sugar up. Remember, exact
same pattern.

Speaker 3 (02:04:51):
You're just joining it.

Speaker 4 (02:04:53):
Do you think that's the only pattern of camo there
was back there was? Okay, so we thought it was short.
When I come out of people are say it was
called it. Yeah, that's it, exact the Jones cap, that's
that is what rick same pattern everything. There's your great
dad dad wore that same cop I know, Come on,
why can't I wear what that was?

Speaker 3 (02:05:12):
At the end of the day with raanba hunt and
if you didn't shoot one, you had to throw your
hat up.

Speaker 4 (02:05:16):
Everybody got shoot at your hat right and if they missed,
too bad, we got a fight starting.

Speaker 3 (02:05:21):
Somebody shot it after it all hit the ground. Violation. Yeah,
you can't.

Speaker 4 (02:05:24):
Once it's a grand you can't shoot it. Well, that's
something that it's weird. Somebody's asking that off the text line.
They're saying, those of you that have brothers that that
asked the Burgess brothers, first worst fight we ever got into?
And then they're asking Adler if he can remember the
worst fight he got into with any of his brothers.
But uh, we had some, and we fought a lot,

(02:05:44):
a lot, and one that comes down to mind. We've
covered on the air about it. On one, I think
you made fun of my hat. I may have a
camera had on the softball field. We were being bat
boys and we got in a five that was the
whole crowd.

Speaker 3 (02:05:54):
That was a one. And then I remember one time
we're having like a family event in the in the
kitchen where we grew up. No, this is the one
that is the worst.

Speaker 4 (02:06:01):
And we got in a fight at the table, big forever,
people everywhere, and we were I'm talking about punching each
other on each other bat No, that wasn't one that
I that I we bumped up against the China cabinet.

Speaker 3 (02:06:10):
And now that was difference. Okay, we were still twice
the size of him. Oh yeah, oh yeah, But it
was like it was like fighting the taskman.

Speaker 4 (02:06:16):
We got in the corner, we got it like fighting
a badgery.

Speaker 3 (02:06:22):
Finally he'd get enough of it, and he'd hit a haymaker.

Speaker 4 (02:06:24):
And but up to that point it was like a
little tornado with grab bats and everything else.

Speaker 3 (02:06:30):
I've never met a little boy. There's never been a
little boy mener than that one.

Speaker 4 (02:06:33):
That one fight I'm talking about, we were like falling
on family members that were all in there having a
nice visit in the kitchen, and we fell into a
fight and fell on them all. And keep in mind,
we lived in a house that was about the sides
of this studio. I mean it wasn't like there was
room for everybody to spread out. No, I mean we're
fighting in a crowd, tripping, falling on top of grandmother,
stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (02:06:53):
Oh yeah, that was a bad one. Got in a
lot of trouble. Yeah, oh that one. Yeah, it was
sit down and couldn't get up. But he would.

Speaker 4 (02:07:00):
I told you what one of our friends, Mama said
about him. I said this on the show before, but
not everybody heard it. I mean she said this later
in life and we were adult. She said that little
boy would have fought the devil himself.

Speaker 3 (02:07:10):
Well, that neighborhood. I was one of the youngest one.
Some ready, y'all like to pick at me.

Speaker 4 (02:07:17):
I mean, just picture a picture of like a little
tornado starting up and it just starts going crazy. That one,
the one that when you were playing first and he
and Greg was playing second. We didn't punch each other,
but we did get in the fight in front, coming
in front of the whole.

Speaker 3 (02:07:30):
Yeah crowd.

Speaker 4 (02:07:31):
Yeah yeah to me, I didn't get it over a quicker,
but I did that next day, dug out.

Speaker 3 (02:07:36):
Yeah, my brother and I on that field, and yeah,
I think it bounced off.

Speaker 4 (02:07:42):
Just get upset when a guy gets an extra base,
because the first and second basement of fighting, he.

Speaker 3 (02:07:48):
Licked at me, somebody. I barely got it over and
get a guy and you got to do the better.

Speaker 4 (02:07:53):
Over here, man, But he did.

Speaker 3 (02:07:58):
I guess y'all had multiples, didn't you.

Speaker 5 (02:07:59):
We we fought so much.

Speaker 3 (02:08:01):
Did you fight a certain brother or all of them?

Speaker 5 (02:08:04):
No, Luke and I we were so close. Yeah, we
couldn't be Angie.

Speaker 6 (02:08:10):
My third and fourth brother are eleven or ten and
eleven years younger than me, So if I were to
fight them, I would just be like fighting a baby.

Speaker 3 (02:08:17):
You can fight them now, Yeah I couldn't. Man.

Speaker 6 (02:08:20):
I thought I changed their diapers, so I'm not fighting,
not gonna show it.

Speaker 3 (02:08:24):
It was a brother close Luke.

Speaker 5 (02:08:25):
And I thought so much.

Speaker 6 (02:08:26):
We fought in private, we supported each other in public.
It was it was that was definitely were the same one.
I appreciated that. So we rarely fought in public, but
boy in private, oh my goodness. When we shared a room,
we shared bunk beds, and it was my parents would
close the door and I knew my.

Speaker 5 (02:08:41):
Brother was coming over to kick my butt for at
least thirty minutes.

Speaker 3 (02:08:44):
This every suck.

Speaker 6 (02:08:46):
Yes, I'm going to sleep, Yes, yes, And the younger,
younger brother, I was much stronger because.

Speaker 5 (02:08:54):
Of that though. And oh yeah, Greg, I could take
on anything.

Speaker 4 (02:08:57):
Greg, You're welcome. Here's what I loved. And you probably
did this too. In the neighborhood. You'd have a kid
around your age that he was gonna try to be
sharp like the older kids and pick catching, and you
were so used to fighting older kids wouldn't even be closed. Yeah,
YouTube whipped everybody in your division because y'all had to
fight older brothers all the time, so nobody could take
you on your division.

Speaker 3 (02:09:16):
I don't know why.

Speaker 6 (02:09:17):
It was a time I smashed a coke bottle in
the kitchen that was bad cop win. Everywhere there's a
screen door that untill got taken out and a regular door.

Speaker 3 (02:09:26):
Sounds very similar to our childhood.

Speaker 1 (02:09:28):
This is the Rick Burgess show, the man you a
move to phrase, what's the new good from society?

Speaker 7 (02:09:51):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (02:09:51):
How many of you hanging out with us today? You've
already become a member of AMAC. Yeah, good move AMAC
dot us slash big Box, the Association of Mature American Citizens.
To really put it in a nutshell, it is the
conservative alternative to the left leaning and lobbying aa arp Ooh,

(02:10:13):
we got some discounts, but how about this, we lobby
from the left.

Speaker 3 (02:10:17):
That's no good for the country.

Speaker 4 (02:10:18):
That's what that's not our worldview, that's not our ideology.

Speaker 3 (02:10:22):

That's the bottom of the hour.

Speaker 4 (02:16:23):
More of the Rick Burgess Show coming up right after this.

Speaker 1 (02:16:29):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. They are the uncles
your parents warned you about the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 3 (02:16:55):
God Man.

Speaker 4 (02:16:55):
And then and then all right, we're back. Thanks for
being with us today. All right, So a couple of
these I've been holding because you know, we did throw
a lot of different pitches and always have, you know,
back when we were doing the Rick and Bubba Show
for thirty one years and four of us, and you.

Speaker 3 (02:17:16):
Know, kind of the way we approach things.

Speaker 4 (02:17:17):
We make some adjustments here or there, doing some things
that we have never done and the ones that we
have always enjoyed. But I like the fact that we've
always been willing to, you know, go from one extreme.

Speaker 3 (02:17:28):
To the other.

Speaker 4 (02:17:29):
And some pretty deep serious questions I've been asked in
some Hayburds emails. I've been trying to pick the right
time to do it. I figure now we've hit a
lot of light stuff we've cut up and because I
do think these things are of value and they're not
like Debbie downers or anything like that.

Speaker 3 (02:17:46):
They're pretty deep questions.

Speaker 4 (02:17:48):
People ask a lot of you know that here we
are four guys that we're certainly don't do Christian radio,
but we're Christians should do radio. And you know, we
have never been afraid to us see things through a
biblical world view, and a lot of times those of
you out there have different views and things, and that's
perfectly fine. But sometimes you'll ask questions just simply because

(02:18:10):
you're like, hey, I'd just like to know, you know,
what you guys have to say about that, and.

Speaker 3 (02:18:14):
Certainly don't know all the answers, but we all but
we ain't turning back. Caution deep emails are coming.

Speaker 4 (02:18:23):
Loud, the crown just keep coming the answers slowly.

Speaker 5 (02:18:28):
Email stacks time, but we're on to go. Birds on
the mic, No time to stall.

Speaker 1 (02:18:33):
We're taking control.

Speaker 3 (02:18:34):
We're answering them all.

Speaker 5 (02:18:35):
Hey Bush, Hey Bush, what's the words?

Speaker 3 (02:18:37):
Egg?

Speaker 5 (02:18:38):
Flocks in the studio, we're here, No stand up.

Speaker 3 (02:18:40):
And ship, Let it all go while.

Speaker 5 (02:18:42):
We're rocking the show.

Speaker 1 (02:18:43):
No time to be.

Speaker 6 (02:18:44):
Mops harsh hay bars hurning up loud in the rock
and roll city where standing.

Speaker 4 (02:18:53):
These uh I've been holding for uh, probably ten days
or so, because you're thinking I want to answer these
and I certainly when you want me to answer them.

Speaker 3 (02:19:02):
Privately, I will.

Speaker 4 (02:19:04):
But these are two people saying I wish you would
address this on the show, because I think a lot
of people probably have these same struggles. So I'll take
a look here. This comes from Balboa. I have listened
and followed the show for most of my life, all
the way back. Obviously that includes the Rick and Bubby years.
Of course, this show's only fifty how many episodes fifty

(02:19:25):
eight today?

Speaker 3 (02:19:26):
Is that fifty eight?

Speaker 4 (02:19:27):
So anyway, and I am sold out as a follower
of Jesus. I'm a husband ten years and says the
father of two wonderful children. I'm just now getting the
chance to read. And then I did go and listen,
which you heard one of our Vox seats talking about
this a few weeks ago, to listen to and read

(02:19:47):
the book that your wife wrote, Bronner, And wow, it
really impacted my life. What an amazing, powerful story. I've
known that ten about Broner for years, but it hits
different once you have children of your own, no doubt
about that. So I actually felt physically ill through the

(02:20:10):
first few chapters, and so incredibly uplifted after I finished
the book.

Speaker 3 (02:20:15):
It was quite a range of emotions. You can't expect that.

Speaker 4 (02:20:18):
But here's the question I want to question you as
a father, how do you come to terms with the
fact that we can't really totally control everything? Yes, we
can protect our children to a certain degree, but we're
but but we can't control everything that goes on.

Speaker 7 (02:20:35):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (02:20:35):
And the Spirit showed me that through the book, that
that I find too much peace and comfort in my
perceived abilities to keep my family safe. I also find
that I struggle with being self reliant. I can relate
to that too. How do I rely on God without
having to suffer a severe loss?

Speaker 3 (02:20:52):
First?

Speaker 4 (02:20:52):
But it's got smart, he said, I want I want
to learn these lessons without having to go through that, because,
as you know, that's one of the things that definitely
done through this process is God broke me of self reliance.
And I talk about I'm never going to try to
go and add on to what Sherry was inspired by
God to write. I mean, she gave five years of

(02:21:12):
her life to that sacrificially because that's what God called
her to do. So in the book, I've got coming
out in May. I do talk about how it impacted
the relationship between my father, Greg, our father, and me
through this process of us being raised. What's is nothing
wrong with that to be tough men, but what you
got to be careful. There's nothing wrong with that. We
need more tough men, but be careful. That doesn't go

(02:21:35):
into being self reliant to the point that you never
truly submit yourself to the authority of God and faith
in His sovereignty over everything that you can handle everything,
because that is going to lead to a very stressful
life and the quicker you can learn to be more
reliant on God. And I think what you're asking emailer

(02:21:58):
is do we truly have faith in God? Do we
trust our children to God ultimately? And do we trust
Him enough that whatever He allows are forbids is right?
And to somehow find peace in that. I actually find

(02:22:22):
peace in that everybody isn't looking for me to do
everything perfectly, and if I don't do everything perfectly, then
people are gonna get hurt, people are gonna die, people
are going to miss opportunities. Because I don't know about
all of y'all. I'm incredibly flawed, and I hope that
my family that they're under the hand of a perfect

(02:22:43):
father that can everything that he does is perfect, everything
I do isn't. And so I would actually go the
opposite way, not to be troubled by that, but to
actually be comforted by that. When he broke me of
self reliance, it was quite free. It was hard, and

(02:23:03):
it was difficult. But when he taught me that my
problem wasn't a lack of strength, my problem was a
lack of weakness and total dependency on him. I found
myself taking care of everything myself and only going to
God if things got too much for me to handle.
And I hadn't gotten to the point where I really
thought there was too much for me to handle yet.

(02:23:25):
You know, it's the misinterpretation of the of the verses
in Corinthians, when Paul's talking about that there's nothing you know,
God doesn't allow us. But people misinterpret this, and I
think it's in chapter fourteen. I think where Paul is
saying in First Corinthians, you know there's nothing to the God,
never let it gives you more than you can handle.
That's a verse about temptation. That's a verse about making

(02:23:49):
excuses when you fall into sin. He saying, you can't
blame God when you sin, because He's stronger than any
temptation of sin there is that is not a verse
on nothing ever happened you in life that's too much
for you to handle, my goodness.

Speaker 3 (02:24:02):
If let me assure you, yes, it does.

Speaker 4 (02:24:07):
But what I'm rest in is there nothing that is
too overwhelming that God can't handle it. So ultimately we
do the best we can.

Speaker 3 (02:24:17):
We don't want to do, you know.

Speaker 4 (02:24:18):
We want to be smart, we want to be wise
with the wisdom God gave us. But at the end
of the day, you've got to be able to trust
your children to God. I mean, even when you have
one that's wayward. Once you've had the arguments, once you've
had the debates, once you've made your point, once they
live on their own, once they pay their own bills,

(02:24:38):
at some point you just have to say, I just
trust your heavenly Father that you know you may be
the prodigal that returns in my lifetime. I may be
dead and gone when you return, but I trust that
he's working out a plan with you, and that he
can reveal himself to you in a way that maybe
I can't.

Speaker 3 (02:24:58):
You know, I think I think we need.

Speaker 4 (02:25:01):
To find peace and solace in that as opposed to worry.
You know, I like knowing that I serve a real God,
a sovereign God that is working out a plan. And
as Sherry said in her book, I don't always like
his plan, but I can't.

Speaker 3 (02:25:16):
Argue with the results.

Speaker 4 (02:25:19):
So it's a great question next one even believe it
or not even deeper deeper than that. I have a
friend who's struggling with why God ever created us in
the first place. Wow, if he already knew what road
we would take concerning our salvation, I understand I'm now
entering into a free will versus predestination argument, which we're
not going to have today. Where can I point to

(02:25:39):
the Bible to help?

Speaker 3 (02:25:41):
Well? I think this is going to be very.

Speaker 4 (02:25:44):
Limited, because remember, I'm dealing with a finite mind, and
it's okay for me to say that I do not
think that any of us can truly comprehend the one
and only living God. However, let's know him in every
way that he allows us to know him. So here's
one thing that we do know. Let's say that you
if you knew that your children that when they were born,

(02:26:05):
somehow it was shown to you that they were going
to make some really bad mistakes, I mean some bad ones,
and you knew it. But you also knew that you
could see the end that you would provide a way
to correct all the mistakes that they were going to make,
even though you knew they were going to make them.
Would you wish they were never born because of the

(02:26:26):
trouble you'd have to go through. I don't think so,
because God doesn't just see the decisions were going to make.
He also sees his plan of redemption when he knew
that human beings would when they were given a choice
by him in the Guarden of Eden. I don't think
that minimizes God at all that he allows choice, because
he certainly allowed one there.

Speaker 3 (02:26:46):
But did he know the choice they were going to make?
Of course?

Speaker 4 (02:26:49):
But did he also know that he had a plan
of salvation that would correct the problems for the decision
they made. Yeah, he knew that too, So you got
to see the big picture clear that God was at
one time not pleased with human beings Genesis chapter six.
But you never see a time that he did not
provide a way out. It does say at one time

(02:27:11):
he regretted because of human beings became so evil in
Genesis six and he killed everybody but eight people. That
is true, but you always see God giving a new beginning,
a new beginning, a new beginning. So if you were
going to have children that even though they were going
to be rebellious, and you knew it, but you knew
that you also could provide a new beginning for them

(02:27:32):
to get it all right, would you regret them being born?

Speaker 3 (02:27:36):
No, you wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (02:27:37):
So that's that's kind of a I know, that's that's
an elementary answer to a very deep question, but it works,
and with my finite mind, that works for me.

Speaker 3 (02:27:51):
So you are of so much value that God took.

Speaker 4 (02:27:55):
On human flesh and went to the cross to take
his own wrath for you. So I don't think he
ever regretted making you, as apparently didn't.

Speaker 1 (02:28:05):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 3 (02:28:25):
We're back.

Speaker 4 (02:28:25):
Thanks for being with us today as we roll through Man.
According to a lot of you emailing and texting, no surprise,
God's timing perfect. Some of you were set up and
needed those emails today as would be expected, So thank
you very much. I appreciate that, all right, and thanks
for the emailers. Stretch stuff. Also, someone on the text

(02:28:48):
line is saying, all right, I went to the website.
Of course they put the wrong website up there, but
Rick burgesshow dot com And it says it says to
text this number if you want to text. But what's
the point if y'all can't answer my text? Well that
the text option is not for us to answer every text.
It's a one way text option for you to maybe

(02:29:10):
ask a question that we see we can answer on
the air. Are just getting us information and response. If
you desire only a response, then you should email us
or are called to show. Yeah, there's always there in
the phone segment. Those are always to get instant feedback.
The text line is only designed to be a one
way option for the audience, and frankly, the majority of

(02:29:33):
the audience is using that now because sometimes you just
want to give a response to something. Hey, here's what
I think. Hey that worked for me. Hey I don't
like that. Hey could you answer me this question? Hey
I can't find that. Uh, it's not designed. We're not
going to we can't sit here and text back and
forth with every single person that texts. We also have
a chat room on the YouTube channel which I understand

(02:29:54):
that's been a party again today.

Speaker 3 (02:29:55):
Uh, and you can you know, you can use that.

Speaker 4 (02:29:57):
You can email, but if you want instant like answer
my question, the number one way is to call, and
then number two is probably email, probably delayed later in
the day or whatever. And we'll announce when we're monitoring
calls when we're taking calls, right, because if you call
during the segment, I mean, we don't have somebody monitoring. Yeah,
so the text option there is a purpose because we're

(02:30:18):
getting tons of feedback and information. So that is its
original design. So yeah, surely that guy was kidding.

Speaker 3 (02:30:26):
Maybe. Well I can't figure that out.

Speaker 4 (02:30:27):
I knew we were off to a rough start because
the texture actually had the wrong website in which he
or she claimed to get that instruction some of these
because that website doesn't exist. Yeah, just say that one
is that they sent a letter back nineteen ninety nine
what's going on?

Speaker 5 (02:30:46):
And that person is correct to that person text and
that's my back.

Speaker 3 (02:30:49):
Oh and you can email us.

Speaker 4 (02:30:51):
It's at rickburgessshow dot com and just put like you know,
Rick Speedy, Greg Adler, whatever, you're that's the email address.

Speaker 3 (02:30:59):
Somebody somebody asks you, how do you email y'all to you.
What's simple.

Speaker 4 (02:31:02):
Go to Rick burgershow dot com where it says team,
click on the team. Everybody's email link is right there.
So's everybody's Instagram and everybody's ex account, Greg's Instagram at
X would be a waste of your.

Speaker 3 (02:31:13):
Time, all right, So you'll get better. Yeah, I'm gonna
get better.

Speaker 4 (02:31:18):
You know, way back when, do you remember when everybody
We even had people on Rick and Bubba University the
podcast that were political pundits, and they were absolutely saying
that Michelle Obama is gonna step in and they're gonna
be gonna be the candidate instead of Joe Biden, and
if she does, that'll be big problems for the conservatives.

(02:31:38):
But that didn't happen, and then we had others saying, now,
people are wrong about that. I don't think Michelle Obama
has any desire to get back into all of that
and really enjoys the wonderful lifestyle they have and really
doesn't want to be in that situation. Well, why don't
we ask Michelle Obama ourselves? Here is Michelle Obama saying

(02:31:59):
that she will never run for president. Now, I know
we've had football coaches who claim they were never leaving
universities too. I got all that our football teams. But
here here is Michelle Obama, in her own words, own
that question.

Speaker 13 (02:32:13):
And so when people ask me what I ever run,
the answer is no, you know, I mean you you
Then if you ask me that, then you have absolutely
no idea the sacrifice that your kids make when your
parents are in that role. Not only am I not
interested in politics in that way, but the thought of

(02:32:34):
like putting my girls back into that, you know, that
spotlight when they are just now establishing themselves. It's like,
you know, okay, I think we've we've done enough. Question
asked and answered, never going to happen.

Speaker 4 (02:32:52):
So yes, you said, yeah, just you have. You got
eight years of it, you were there. I know that
you probably could run again. But I think that that's
a reasonable answer. A lot of times people don't understand
what it takes. I mean, I don't think any of
us honestly. Honestly, I don't think any of us because
we're not the Obamas and we don't have that the

(02:33:14):
opportunities that they have. But even in like our state,
there's no way I would no if God made me
do it, I do it, but he'd I'd have to
have an angel appear in my room. Okay, there's no way.
There's no way that I would put my Look, I've
been through enough garbage of people, you know, lying about you,

(02:33:39):
trying to destroy you, making up stuff, attacking you, doing this.
You know, there's no way I would step into that
toxic world. And I remember, and I'm not saying it's
not important, and I'm glad that people do it, and
we do need to vote and we need to let
our voice be heard. But I'm telling you there's a
darkness over the politics of our country at every level,

(02:34:03):
especially the federal level. I've been around it, I have
felt it. It is black, dark, toxic stuff. And I'm
talking about spiritually demonic. And of course there's people there
that are liked and I'm glad they're there, and I
support them and I say, fight the good fight. And again,

(02:34:24):
if God told me to do it, I would do it.
But it's a twisted, dark, dark place and it kind
of steals your joy.

Speaker 5 (02:34:34):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:34:36):
Part of the Obama's legacy is Obamacare. I saw a
very interesting post from doctor Dan Choi on x He's
a independent physician, a spinal surgeon.

Speaker 5 (02:34:45):
He does endoscopic surgery.

Speaker 6 (02:34:47):
He says, one of my biggest regrets was voting for
Obama in two thousand and eight as a medical student
and celebrating the passage of the ACA, the Affordable Care Act.
Little did I know the carneage you would wreck on
the medical profession and future patients had no idea. The
ACA was written to strip physicians of their autonomy, boost
insurer profits, and drive health care consolidation. The end result
fifteen years later is more expensive health care with less competition,

(02:35:11):
resulting in lower quality, less efficient care for parents, for patients.
Coverage is not care.

Speaker 4 (02:35:18):
That's true, and you've seen it play a role among
other things, not just that, but it has definitely played
a major road. It absolutely has done that to individuals.
But it's also been part of what's having happening on
this macro level that we're now living in a country
that at one time had the greatest health care in
the world, and now it's getting less wonderful and not

(02:35:42):
as trustworthy as it once was. And there's a lot
of reasons for that, and that's one of them.

Speaker 6 (02:35:47):
And when trust is a hard thing to gauge, but
chronic illness is not, and life expectancy is not, and
the amount of money we're paying for person is not.

Speaker 5 (02:35:55):
That is very easy to engage and all of those
things are whack a do I could do to use
a medical term.

Speaker 4 (02:36:01):
There you okay, top of the hour. If you leave us, uh,

(02:37:36):
we got some of those questions already answered. But if
you missed that, catch it on the archives. But you
remember when steven A. Smith lately has been he's really
been upset with the Democrats and thinking that, you know,
the way they continue to vote for the Democrats without
asking them to change. Democrats need to change their messaging.

(02:37:56):
Here's why you got beat. Of course he works for ESPN. Well,
here's RG three that signed a big tech yeah, telling
steven A Smith why sports shows on TV should just
be about sports? Is he directing this at steven A?
RG three didn't? Didn't They let him go somewhere?

Speaker 3 (02:38:17):
Whoever he's working for I think calling games cause he
went very good at it. Yeah, they let him go.

Speaker 4 (02:38:22):
I guess he's podcasting, you know, right, Yeah, I know,
steven A. He does his show on ESPN. Then he
has his own steven A Show.

Speaker 3 (02:38:32):
Yes he dies, which is different. Yeah, okay, so here
that may be what they're discussing. So here we again.

Speaker 14 (02:38:36):
Thirteen years ago, steven A on First Take. There was
a conversation that happened on the show involving Rob Parker.

Speaker 3 (02:38:46):
Rob Parker, Rob Parker.

Speaker 14 (02:38:48):
Yes, yes, sir, you know exactly what conversation I'm talking.

Speaker 3 (02:38:51):
I know exactly what it was. Rob Parker talked about
was I a brother? Was I a real brother?

Speaker 14 (02:38:56):
Was I really down for the cause?

Speaker 5 (02:38:58):
And you know what his point.

Speaker 14 (02:39:00):
Was about why he asked that question. It had nothing
to do with sports. It had nothing to do with
my performance on the field. It was because my fiance
was white. It was because he thought I was a Republican.
He made First Take in that moment a political forum

(02:39:25):
for personal attacks and political conversations.

Speaker 3 (02:39:29):
Stephen A.

Speaker 14 (02:39:30):
That single conversation has followed me for thirteen years of
my professional career.

Speaker 3 (02:39:38):
Wow. And he's like, I was there to talk about sports.

Speaker 4 (02:39:41):
And then he makes this comment that turned into be
a political statement with quite a bit of ignorance about
how I see the world politically anyway. Because I have
a white fiance, suddenly I'm a conservative and so but
stephen A is Now he's got a platform. Now, if
I'm not mistaken, they have him on Fox News they

(02:40:02):
or is it seeing n He's he's on one of
the news challengs from time to time too. I don't
know if he has his own show, but I mean
he comes on a lot as a guest. So, you know,
I don't I understand what r G three is saying. Uh,
But I also think that if if something is only
about one topic all the time, Bubba and I talked
about this for years, that we think the reason why,

(02:40:25):
for no other reason, we all still wanted to come
to work is that we didn't do a show that
just talked about one topic. I don't think that I
could be fulfilled that way. I would tell I would
like to be able to Yeah, I would have to
be able to talk about politics when I want to.
And I don't want to be forced to talk about
that all the time or to do that because you know,

(02:40:45):
we haven't planned anything.

Speaker 3 (02:40:46):
Else to do.

Speaker 4 (02:40:47):
But but I want to, you know, I want to
talk about it when I want to. I want to
talk about sports, I want to talk about faith. I
want to just talk about dipping sauces for chicken fingers
if I want to. You know, So I don't really
understand that RG three is saying. I entered into a
sports conversation and I got took into a political conversation.
I think, if I'm on a sports show already be talked,

(02:41:09):
you are to be talking to me about my my point,
my sports performance and I and I don't disagree with
him as a guest, but I may not agree with
him as a host of a show that I just
want to sit here and talk about one thing, you know,
now I do as a fan. Let's face it, now,
we all could use a little less political agenda and
a little more sport, right you know, I do understand that. Yeah,

(02:41:32):
and that is the benefit of having a show like
this where we cross all kinds of platforms. You know,
we're on news talk, we're on music stations, we're on
but being on a sports platform where your job is
to talk sports. See why it was a little line sided. No, No,
I agree with that. Yeah I could. I would love
to see RG three and Jameis Winston do a show together.

Speaker 3 (02:41:51):
Now.

Speaker 4 (02:41:51):
That would be something that would be a show, wouldn't it. Yeah,
it's handled a pretty good podcast right there. Yes, it's
Hannity where I keep seeing Steven A. Smithy. They're good friends. Yeah,
they've had each other on both each other's show the
way a lot, and they say they admit they Hey,
we don't agree on a lot, but we were good friends,
and let's walk let's walk it out, let's talk. Well,
I told you now, we didn't have a conversation together.

(02:42:13):
And this is not a name drop, it's just whatever.
We didn't have a conversation together, and we weren't on
the platform together at the same time. But if you
remember when I went to do the Promise Keepers thing
in Brooklyn, stephen A was was on the He was
one of this.

Speaker 3 (02:42:28):
He didn't speak by himself.

Speaker 4 (02:42:29):
He was interviewed by the local pastor h and asked
some questions, but he it was a it was a
very I think it was. It was interesting to have
him there and talking about kind of where he is
and still trying to figure things out.

Speaker 3 (02:42:42):
It was it was a very interesting conversation. Hmm.

Speaker 4 (02:42:45):
But so he's not afraid to appear on different platforms
and talk it out. Of course, a lot of people
are saying stephen A in twenty twenty eight, you know
which is I think Trump's given everybody you know, thought of, hey,
maybe I could do it. But he he's not afraid though,
to speak his mind and go on like somebody said
he was on Megan.

Speaker 3 (02:43:04):
Kelly earlier this Streek. Yeah, and that's I think he's
on with quomos. Yeah, who knows you so well?

Speaker 4 (02:43:09):
Yeah, I mean, I really I'm not saying that I'm
pro stephen A or anti I have no real opinion,
but I do like the idea.

Speaker 3 (02:43:18):
As far as him as a human being.

Speaker 4 (02:43:20):
I don't vouch for him, nor am I against him,
but I don't I love that somebody is saying, I'm
sick and tired of all of us with the point
of view running over here and just talking to each
other with no opposing view and no critical thinking. He
is willing to go onto multiple platforms and try to
work out what he believes, and a lot of it

(02:43:41):
is not so black and white. A lot of it
is over here. I think this is the way to
do things. But that doesn't mean now I've been assigned
all my views on everything else. You know, I can't
stand that. I don't even like when the right does
that to us. I can't stand that, you know, just
because I vote conservative, I have not been assigned my
views on everything.

Speaker 6 (02:44:00):
Just because I'm white doesn't mean I think certain way
to go back. Yeah, very to go back to what
RG three was talking about, not all black people agree
on everything, and to assume that I think is inherently racist,
then act the same way they don't, just like all
white people don't act the wa same way or think
the same way.

Speaker 3 (02:44:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:44:18):
Bill O'Reilly announced that they were doing some live shows.
They've either already done them or about to do them,
and steven A's up on stage with him, so he's.

Speaker 3 (02:44:25):
All over the place.

Speaker 4 (02:44:26):
It would help us all as a society if people
could get back to having civil conversations, disagreements, and debates
on what we agree and disagree on, as opposed to
if you disagree with me on anything, all I do
is scream at you and wish you dead.

Speaker 3 (02:44:44):
Yeah, yeah, it would, you know, and you.

Speaker 4 (02:44:46):
Must go off somewhere else and you're not allowed here.
We need the arena of ideas to be in. Social
media has played a terrible role in this, because we
discovered that in that documentary Social Dilemma, creating these these
algorithms where it's.

Speaker 3 (02:45:00):
Hey, you said that algorithm.

Speaker 4 (02:45:01):
Algorithm where you never hear an opposing view and you
just go off into your little room. That is so
unhealthy so so very unhealthy. It's one thing to start
figuring out what you believe, but it's just as important to.

Speaker 3 (02:45:15):
Know why you believe it. Yeah, and if you to
be able to defend it. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:45:18):
And if you want a taste of that, pull up
your ex app when you have a chance, and at
the top it'll show following and you can click on
that and that's who you follow and then click for
you and that it'll suggest there according to who you're
following and what you like, what you want to see now,
So I think it would be healthier if it will
suggest here's somebody who totally disagrees with you right now.

(02:45:40):
Go listen to what they say and see if you
can defend what you believe. Now, we'll come back. We
have more to talk about as the hour rolls on.
Right here on the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (02:45:53):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. Only in America. Could
these four men do this for a living God bless America.

(02:46:15):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 4 (02:46:18):
Let's go with it America, all right. So we're approaching
trying another phone segment, and I know some of you
look forward to this. Talk to the box seats yesterday
they said we dig phone call attempts. It's again, like
I said, it's like mining for gold. A lot of pebbles,

(02:46:40):
a lot of rocks looking for the gold. But you
can solve that by bringing something to the table. Probably
next segment, we'll go back to phones at eight eight
eighty six, big box. Not this segment. Probably go it.
Probably do it next segment. Okay, all right, so new
sponsor get excited anytime there's something new. We love being

(02:47:03):
those people that go, hey, have you heard about this? Hey,
hey have you heard about this? Take lean dot com?
Are you someone who I've been there? Yo, Yo, dieter.
I'm on to yo, yo, take the weight off. I
put the weight on, I take the weight off. Oh

(02:47:23):
this time I put more back on.

Speaker 3 (02:47:25):
Well.

Speaker 4 (02:47:26):
Doctors and scientists have been studying this effect, and here's
the bad news for all of us, yo, Yo's not
good for you, real and healthy. They're seeing now it's
increasing the risk of a heart attack, stroke, type two diabetes,
other health problems. So if you are thinking, is there
help to break this pattern, then the answer is yes.

(02:47:49):
These doctors have got together and they've created Lean L
E A N. It's a healthy supplement. This is not
an injection. Some of you are going praise the Lord
for that. You don't need a prescription. And look the
science behind the product, which is what we wanted to
know when this was brought up. It's impressive.

Speaker 10 (02:48:07):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (02:48:07):
It's studied natural ingredients that's good. Uh, that target weight
loss in three powerful ways. It's going to help you
maintain healthy blood sugar and you know that that's that's
important and helps control appetite and blood sugar. I know,
appetite and cravings for some people that is the problem.

Speaker 10 (02:48:26):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (02:48:27):
And some of the things that you have that are
supposed to be appetite suppressants, you know, make you jittery there.
They also aren't great for you if if they're overused.

Speaker 3 (02:48:37):
This is natural.

Speaker 4 (02:48:38):
So if you'd like to find out more about it,
uh and get your energy back and be healthier and
stop the yo yo.

Speaker 3 (02:48:45):
Now this is this is a long term plan. Okay,
this is not some fad deal.

Speaker 4 (02:48:49):
So go to take lean dot com use the code
big vox and get twenty percent off take lean dot com.
Are just used their their link there at rick burgershow
dot com come And it's from our friends at brick
House Nutrition who brought us field of greens.

Speaker 3 (02:49:03):
So exciting.

Speaker 4 (02:49:05):
All right, So this is a graph that looks like
that Adler has put together. Uh, you know, we've been
talking a lot about what about a doll?

Speaker 5 (02:49:15):
Hell them all?

Speaker 4 (02:49:16):
Everybody go you in a coffee tag or digging up
a ball? Eric, I say, can't chase Kine country dreams line, stuck.

Speaker 3 (02:49:26):
In a dial?

Speaker 6 (02:49:27):
All?

Speaker 3 (02:49:28):
What about the doll? Is every road I take to
loot to?

Speaker 1 (02:49:32):
What about the doll?

Speaker 4 (02:49:35):
So this is a graph. You know, is it ever
heard the you know dogs can eat that, they can't
eat chocolate talk and they eat death by Chocolate Love poundcake.
So this is a graph. Adler, walk us through what
you've discovered here. These are things that dogs can and
cannot eat, Greg, Greg's always giving us a great background

(02:49:57):
on what pigs can and cannot eat. I don't know
where hogs don't like cucumbers, Greg, you're in trouble on one.
I see, Uh uh huh?

Speaker 6 (02:50:04):
All right, So sausage, So you got at the top
is the yes category, the bottom or the middle.

Speaker 3 (02:50:09):
This is all things that dogs can eat yes.

Speaker 6 (02:50:12):
The top is the yes category, middles with moderation dogs
not recommended, and then the nose at the bottom.

Speaker 3 (02:50:18):
There's some absolute nose down there.

Speaker 5 (02:50:20):
I don't know about this, y'all.

Speaker 3 (02:50:23):
Where are we're going?

Speaker 4 (02:50:24):
I mean, you look at garlics in the know, Garlic
is in the chocolate.

Speaker 3 (02:50:29):
How about a cooked bone? Jocolate bones?

Speaker 5 (02:50:33):
Cooked bones? I think they choke on them or something.

Speaker 3 (02:50:35):
Okay, I no chicken bones.

Speaker 4 (02:50:37):
As a dog ever asked for rubarb? I don't think so.
No alcohol, I've seen some. I've seen some bad jokes.

Speaker 3 (02:50:46):
That's in the No. Greg, coffee is in the know.

Speaker 4 (02:50:49):
Yeah, well, the reason I brought drink, the reason I
brought sausage, and I know most of it.

Speaker 3 (02:50:53):
It's like weenies from the hot dog. Greg.

Speaker 4 (02:50:56):
But you you've talked about sausage or hot dogs. Where
you'll be making you'll be grilling out beef okay, and
you'll throw buddies.

Speaker 3 (02:51:04):
Yeah, he eats all beef, though.

Speaker 5 (02:51:07):
It was only the best for buddy. Where's poop on here?

Speaker 3 (02:51:10):
I mean I don't see that on all? Right? Did
you know that that milk? Milk is bad? What for
for dogs? Milk is bad for cats?

Speaker 5 (02:51:20):
To everybody gives milk to cats cats? Maybe that's adult
some gas.

Speaker 3 (02:51:25):
I know that soda bad. This is we're just doing
the bads right now.

Speaker 4 (02:51:31):
And grapes are bad, raisin's bad, onion bad.

Speaker 6 (02:51:36):
I knew avocados were bad for dogs because I was
eating avocado and I was.

Speaker 5 (02:51:40):
Going to give just the seed to Kevin to let
him just chew on something. And then I looked it up.
I was like, oh, oops, glad, I look.

Speaker 3 (02:51:46):
At mushrooms are bad. That's surprising because they're all over
the yard.

Speaker 5 (02:51:51):
You're right right up.

Speaker 3 (02:51:54):
He'll even grow up a little something they lay left
behind right.

Speaker 7 (02:51:59):
Here.

Speaker 4 (02:51:59):
M So the deer people, so mushrooms. Are they talking
about what's growing in the yard or like feeding the mushrooms?

Speaker 3 (02:52:07):
They're talking about feeding the mushroom. I'm sure. I tell
you up in the yards a squirrel? Oh yeah yeah.
Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:52:14):
By the way, did I tell you that when I
was in Ontario that they had black squirrels?

Speaker 3 (02:52:18):
Oh cool, I'll send you a picture.

Speaker 5 (02:52:20):
There's a bunch around the White House too, for some reason.

Speaker 3 (02:52:23):
Really. Yeah, yeah, I've never seen him. I'm about jet black.

Speaker 4 (02:52:26):
Yes, yes, yeah, I didn't know what it was to
begin with, kind of they go, well, yeah, I didn't
know what was after us, but it was just in
the tree, so it was good. So also I see
that I didn't know and then not recommended. I also
see up there that the biscuits.

Speaker 3 (02:52:42):
That's a that's a man. This is great.

Speaker 4 (02:52:45):
I thought, old hound love love a biscuit. We're all
sitting around having a breakfast biscuit and we're about to
go out.

Speaker 3 (02:52:50):
They can need a watermelon with moderation. I think this.

Speaker 5 (02:52:54):
I don't know who made this.

Speaker 4 (02:52:55):
Well, I means I find this interesting. If rfkor turns
the you know, the the food pyramid upside down, you
jump up and down. Somebody tries to tell you what
you shouldn't feed your dog, and suddenly your critical lub
I am.

Speaker 3 (02:53:10):
Cuddy runs from an orange were really out through? Yeah,
because Cuddy, if I'm not mistake, that's not your dog. No,
it's a college What about who's back with us? Now?

Speaker 4 (02:53:21):
Sure, when you travel to Georgia and Mississippi and then
to Tennessee two weeks in a row, guess what, you
can't have a college dog.

Speaker 3 (02:53:28):
Now, that's just probably you shouldn't get one to begin with.
Like we said, if you have.

Speaker 4 (02:53:34):
So, so are you are y'all part of this deal
of real I don't have a dog right now?

Speaker 3 (02:53:40):
Better known as peace the that's a fact. I've had
a bunch of them, though. Do y'all get all weird
about the dog food?

Speaker 4 (02:53:48):
And you know, I've seen that one where people keeping
the refrigerator and they cancel their they cancel their friend
if their friend doesn't like it.

Speaker 3 (02:53:54):
And it's got the pet's name on the bag. Yeah,
and it.

Speaker 4 (02:53:57):
Looks like just something everybody else is eating. Do y'all
go that far? Is grabbing bag of benifl excuse me
what he said? If Walmart says it sells at Greg's getting.

Speaker 6 (02:54:07):
Although, Greg, there was one point in time where you
were boiling chicken breasts and noodles.

Speaker 3 (02:54:14):
The dog of yours.

Speaker 5 (02:54:15):
Yes, how long did that last?

Speaker 3 (02:54:17):
A long time? That's a lot of chickens on the list.
Put it in years. Worst noodles on the list.

Speaker 4 (02:54:23):
I don't see noodles, Greg, I don't think noodles are good.

Speaker 3 (02:54:25):
I don't say spam up there either. You lived fifteen years?
Must have been that that. How long do you think
you did?

Speaker 5 (02:54:32):
You did it for like five years?

Speaker 3 (02:54:34):
Yes, she didn't eat that way the whole time.

Speaker 2 (02:54:36):
NA.

Speaker 3 (02:54:37):
Mostly all right, we'll come back. But I do I do.

Speaker 5 (02:54:41):

then you can get into one of the things.

Speaker 3 (02:56:05):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (02:56:06):
I just got somebody from Pennsylvania on the text line saying, yeah,
the black squirrels are really prominent here too. They said
they discovered them as a genetic mutation from the gray squirrel.

Speaker 1 (02:56:18):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (02:56:18):
Kind of like you know, we talked about we produced
If you look at a panther, it's really just a
leopard with a genetic mutation.

Speaker 1 (02:56:25):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (02:56:25):
They're saying these black squirrels were produced the exact same one.

Speaker 3 (02:56:29):
How about that? So? And I mean they're jet black,
right squirrel?

Hey, guys, I just wanted to make a suggestion for
Adler for him to use a different name during the
Big Voughts Verdict. I thought you could go with Judge
Adler Justice because you know it's a little hat tip
to Orange Justice. And also Adler means eagle and also
Eagle means America. So there you go.

Speaker 4 (02:57:44):
Well, let me tell you something you phone people to

Speaker 5 (02:58:06):
It doing good.

Speaker 3 (02:58:10):
Uh, let's go to look Greg and Alabama.

Speaker 10 (02:58:14):
Greg, go ahead, Yeah, the dog list for dues and
downs correct. I'm just saying, you know, I had a
lab pit mix and me and her would sit there
and eat eminem's for sixteen years before she finally passed away.

Speaker 4 (02:58:31):
Well, I say she would have lived a little longer
if you laid off those eminem Yes, seventeen.

Speaker 10 (02:58:36):
Well, that's just it. It's it's moderation. I was. I've
talked to lots of vets and they've told me that
if the dog eats twice it's waiting chop it, it
will poison. You know, we'll get them sick. Three times
will poison them. Well, hell, if I twice my weight
and chocolate, I'm going to be sick. It's not dead too, you.

Speaker 3 (02:58:58):
Know, I've always heard the chocolate thing. Yeah, is that true?

Speaker 4 (02:59:01):
It was mainly for your smaller dogs that they that
they were in worse, worse risks.

Speaker 5 (02:59:06):
And the darker the chocolate the worst.

Speaker 6 (02:59:09):
Uh yeah, like the higher the CoA cow content, baker's chocolate.

Speaker 5 (02:59:14):
Will put him down quick. If you if your work, if.

Speaker 4 (02:59:18):
You're trying to considered that. Yeah, Judge Eagle justice, that
was it? Or was that it our Judge Adler justice,
which means judge Eagle. Judge Adler Justice, that was it?
And then Adler means eagle, So that's an eagle eagle fang.

Speaker 3 (02:59:32):
That's from co Yeah, Jeremy, welcome to the rick Burgers Show.
Go ahead, Hey, guys, what's up?

Speaker 9 (02:59:39):
I love the show, been listening probably since ninety four.

Speaker 3 (02:59:43):
Actually, thank you.

Speaker 9 (02:59:45):
But dear, I'm the one that takes in about the fight.

Speaker 4 (02:59:51):
Oh, and you and your brother fought during a time
your dad was praying for a woman to be healed
who was terminally ill, and.

Speaker 3 (02:59:58):
The whole church was over there, and y'all fault each other.

Speaker 9 (03:00:03):
Yes, Actually, my dad was not aware of anything. My
mom come out on the poor and she dropped the hammer.

Speaker 3 (03:00:13):
But yeah, we were.

Speaker 9 (03:00:14):
We were fighting. Get this, We had a bunch of
teenagers were on the front ports, but me and him
were fighting over a girl.

Speaker 4 (03:00:21):
If you can believe that again again the same but
time and place is key. Brother's fighting over anything, not
all that original. Brother's fighting over a girl while your
dad is praying over a dying woman and the whole
churches they're praying for her healing. That does make the

(03:00:43):
story completely different. Somebody said that we left out Greg.
Of course, that we were you know, we were still
we weren't men, but we were not boys anymore. When
we had the famous fight at the trailer, well that
technically wasn't a fight, right, We were kind of just wrestling.

Speaker 3 (03:00:58):
We were wrestling, you weren't. We weren't mad.

Speaker 4 (03:01:00):
Somebody said, well, how can you leave that one out
because you knocked Greg out unconscious, You tried to bulldog
a bulldogged you into the floor of a trailer, which
you know is super soft.

Speaker 3 (03:01:08):
Yeah, uh, and uh, that was a wrestling. We weren't angry.

Speaker 4 (03:01:11):
Now, you were angry after you opened your eyes and said,
was I out, Yeah, and then it kind of went
to a little bit of a fight, but.

Speaker 3 (03:01:16):
I couldn't remember where I was.

Speaker 10 (03:01:17):
It was.

Speaker 4 (03:01:17):
It was basically two brothers rough housing and a track. Yeah,
and Greg tried to take me on and they got
bulldog that trailer. We did not get a deposit back
on it. No, we did not not even close. I
don't think that I think that deposit was going in
the first three weeks.

Speaker 3 (03:01:30):
Yea, you probably.

Speaker 4 (03:01:31):
Uh, let's go to Kevin. Kevin, welcome to the Rick
Burgess Show.

Speaker 3 (03:01:34):
Go ahead.

Speaker 4 (03:01:36):
I just want to say I just mentioned about Joey
bahar at house looking alike.

Speaker 7 (03:01:42):
Oh man, that is such an insult to Alf.

Speaker 10 (03:01:44):
He is not said ugly.

Speaker 3 (03:01:46):
Now, Alf, that's funny. Lines as you can hear, are opening.

Speaker 4 (03:01:52):
So if you've been trying to get in and get
a busy signal, you can now eight D eight eight
six big vox Jay out of Kentucky Jay, go ahead, Yes, sir, I.

Speaker 7 (03:02:01):
Pulled a speedy with my oldest grandson when he got
to talking, convinced him.

Speaker 4 (03:02:06):
To call his aunt.

Speaker 7 (03:02:07):
I called her ain't heard, so she's ain't you?

Speaker 3 (03:02:12):
No you? Oh yeah, that's not true. That's good and
you're still she's still talking to you.

Speaker 7 (03:02:21):
Oh boy, absolutely, Oh.

Speaker 3 (03:02:28):
You know what, Speedy, you can go home. Tell Terry
could be worse. It could.

Speaker 4 (03:02:32):
Uh, let's go to Mike out of the Great State
of Georgia. I think we have enough time to get
a few more in after. Uh, maybe we'll see Mike.

Speaker 7 (03:02:40):
Go ahead, Hey, guys, love the show wonders. Ask y'all.
Have y'all ever seen four beards on a turkey before?

Speaker 10 (03:02:50):
No?

Speaker 3 (03:02:50):
No, I haven't four.

Speaker 7 (03:02:52):
Well, yeah, this weekend, my son and another friend, uh,
did some hunting over there. Is that Larry with the
Packes in Dublin?

Speaker 15 (03:03:00):
Boy?

Speaker 7 (03:03:01):
Yeah, hey, we were over in the Dublin area doing
some hunting. My son killed a twenty two point one
two pound turkey. And this other fella or this other
little kid, his name is Ryland Bradley. He kills a
turkey that has four beards on him. I've never seen
that before, and I looked it up and it's got
like that's like a ten percent chance of that ever happened.

Speaker 11 (03:03:20):
I thought.

Speaker 4 (03:03:23):
I once saw a lunchroom lady with four beards, but
I've never I've.

Speaker 3 (03:03:31):
Never seen I've never seen this a turkey.

Speaker 7 (03:03:35):
No, I'll get I'll send it to all and let
y'all see it over email.

Speaker 4 (03:03:40):
Okay, I wonder if Larry's ever killed one over there,
but that don't don't easy easy. Speaking of that, this
is we did get an email about the turkey hunting thing,
because you know we're we're going in, We're gonna do
a number of things. You know, Gary was on here
last Friday. Hey, I mean, it's all I've done is
make calls.

Speaker 3 (03:04:00):
And saw the video of him stamping him. Yeah, that
was cool.

Speaker 4 (03:04:03):
Did you see the it His name Jeremy out of Pennsylvania.
I think he got his turkey calls. It comes in
a really cool box. I mean, Gary, when they get
it to you, that's pretty.

Speaker 5 (03:04:14):
Cool if I'm right. Yeah, he made a box for
his turkey call.

Speaker 6 (03:04:18):
And I think it's the same guy that actually made
the big box gavel.

Speaker 5 (03:04:23):
I think it's the same guy.

Speaker 3 (03:04:24):
Looks nice.

Speaker 4 (03:04:25):
But anyway, someone saying, I think we should have Gary
call into the show every single day after he wraps
up the turkey hunt of the day and tells us
how it went and give us a report and what
happened during the hunt.

Speaker 3 (03:04:39):
Be careful, grant moderation.

Speaker 4 (03:04:43):
I mean and plus of all, that's gonna annoy Gary
for me to say that, Hey, let me tell you something,
even when me trying to help out with tellus from
the camp house. I mean, you gotta let everybody know now,
I ain't gonna spend the whole Turkey season. God, and y'all, No,
I'm out there getting chairs about it. He went yesterday
about opening day in ours, and I stayed, I didn't

(03:05:05):
see nothing but a bunch of Jakes.

Speaker 3 (03:05:07):
Okay, you know, I guess my brother Jake. No, Jake
was out there hunting. Those are those are young gobblers?

Speaker 5 (03:05:14):
Got it?

Speaker 4 (03:05:15):
Yeah, that says it'd be like you knocking down a faun.

Speaker 3 (03:05:20):
You know, we'll come back. That's when the phone comes good.
And that wasn't bad. Good work, good, good work. Phone
segments stay alive with things like that. All right, we'll
come back.

Speaker 4 (03:05:31):
We've got some more things to hit before we wrap
up today's full live show, so stay close.

Speaker 3 (03:05:36):
More coming up right up to this.

Speaker 1 (03:05:40):
This is the Rick Burgish Show.

Speaker 4 (03:05:50):
Morning.

Speaker 1 (03:05:51):
In order to truly benefit from this show, you must
have a sense of humor, So laeno Francis and enjoy
the Rick Burtish.

Speaker 4 (03:06:01):
All Right, here we go, wrapping up this hour. Thanks
for being with us today Wednesday. Bible Study is back
today noon Central, one o'clock eastern. Job Chapter six. So
Job's first response to friend number one, that basically is
saying you've done something.

Speaker 3 (03:06:23):
You're not telling this or God willn't be doing this
to you.

Speaker 4 (03:06:25):
So we'll get Job's response to the first friend, and
we'll prepare ourselves for the pull no punches.

Speaker 3 (03:06:32):
Bill a dad who's coming later?

Speaker 4 (03:06:34):
All right, So that's coming up today, catch at noon Central,
one o'clock eastern. The archive out not too long after that.
We mentioned this earlier in the program, but we didn't
get to these particular clips in so the ongoing controversy
about the group TEX and the Atlantic kind of journalists,
and we use the term journalists loosely here. Mike Wallas

(03:06:58):
has said, Hey, everybody come out.

Speaker 3 (03:06:59):
That's on me. I messed that up. Uh.

Speaker 4 (03:07:04):
Trump has already come back and said that he's a
good man. He made a mistake. He's on the mistake.
Let's move forward. The actual attack that they gave this
person information about was a successful attack. It still went
off with no hitches, so no real harm done. But
this should not happen and Walls took responsibility on that,

(03:07:28):
and Trump said it should not happen as well. But then,
you know, there's always these kind of questions. Okay, we're
all talking about what happened, shouldn't have happened. But since
we all know what was said in that group text,
the President is asked by a reporter about some of
these things that were openly discussed via text, about the

(03:07:50):
freeloading Europeans. So Trump is asked about that particular conversation.

Speaker 5 (03:07:57):
Here here we go, Hey, this defense p hex on JD.

Speaker 1 (03:08:00):
Vonn's the Vice President said, thought the Europeans were freeloading.
Do you agree with our assessments?

Speaker 3 (03:08:08):
Do you really want me to answer that?

Speaker 2 (03:08:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:08:10):
I think they've been free loading.

Speaker 11 (03:08:11):
The European Union has been absolutely terrible to us on
trade terrible.

Speaker 3 (03:08:17):
Yeah. You know.

Speaker 4 (03:08:18):
Trump went as far as to say in other conversations
he thinks the European unions one of the camp I
wouldn't agree it was the sole purpose, but one of
the purposes was to do harm to us on the
trade deals and stuff like that, where they could become
you know, almost unified and almost like a union and
have more leverage against US.

Speaker 5 (03:08:38):
Economically, and because Trump is not afraid to say stuff
like this. I do think that.

Speaker 6 (03:08:43):
That's why I never believed the theory like, oh, they
leaked this this on purpose to the press.

Speaker 5 (03:08:48):
It's a purposeful leak. They do this all the time.

Speaker 6 (03:08:50):
That's why I didn't believe that, because everything that we
saw in those besides the quote unquote war plans, it's
not anything that Trump is afraid to just come out
and say himself, So we wouldn't have to leak that stuff.

Speaker 3 (03:09:02):
Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 4 (03:09:04):
Also, next Tulsa Gabbard, Uh, you know, one of the
things we will know any classified information shared in the
signal group.

Speaker 3 (03:09:12):
She wants to clarify that. That answer is no. Here's
Tulsi Gabbard.

Speaker 11 (03:09:17):
Contact the Defense Secretary or others after this specific military
planning was put out and say hey, we should be
doing this in a skiff.

Speaker 3 (03:09:29):
There was no classified material that was shared in that
So then if.

Speaker 11 (03:09:32):
There was no classified material, share it with the committee.
You can't have it both ways. These are important jobs.
This is our national security bobbing and weaving and trying
to you know, filibuster your answer, So please answer.

Speaker 5 (03:09:49):
The okay, buddy, thanks, There was no class.

Speaker 3 (03:09:51):
I heard him a lot yesterday.

Speaker 4 (03:09:53):
Yeah, yeah, Gabbard what Corilla Deville, the one what was
her name from you?

Speaker 6 (03:10:03):
She doesn't care, you know eitherthing will right?

Speaker 5 (03:10:06):
Well, she's great though. I love Telsea Ga. Yeah, we
can make fun and still like people is.

Speaker 3 (03:10:11):
She's not getna get mad at you. She doesn't know.

Speaker 5 (03:10:13):
I've got emails saying, well, she looked like Storm from
X Men.

Speaker 3 (03:10:17):
That's not a dig it's not that's a superhero. Yes, right.

Speaker 4 (03:10:21):
The also always fun to watch watch a democrat get
on to anybody for bobbing and weaving right and not
being forthcoming.

Speaker 10 (03:10:30):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (03:10:30):
In filibuster a CIA director John Radcliffe, Oh, John Radcliffe.
He has confirmed that signal was loaded into his work
devices upon assuming office and that it was approved as
a permissible means of communication.

Speaker 3 (03:10:44):
So here he is, so that we're clear.

Speaker 8 (03:10:47):
One of the first things that happened when I was
confirmed as CIA director was signal was loaded onto my
computer at the CIA, as it is for most CIA officers.
One of the things that I was reefed on very early,
Senator was by the CIA records management folks about about
the use of signal as a permissible work use. It

(03:11:09):
is that is a practice that preceded the current administration
to the bidens.

Speaker 3 (03:11:15):
So you didn't a lot like that.

Speaker 4 (03:11:17):
Yeah, that's that's not what we wanted to hear. So
there there's the latest on all that. And we did
talk about that earlier in the program too. But all
we talked about then, isn't the tariff deadline next week?
Recipal tariff?

Speaker 10 (03:11:29):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (03:11:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (03:11:30):
I think so that that Walls owned owned that it
was his fault. So yeah, I guess that the second
deadline is coming up, which I mean, who's against that?

Speaker 3 (03:11:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (03:11:40):
Uh, by the way, this other charge us, this, let's
charge of them, that's it. This other story out of
San Diego. I've seen this happen. You know, Greg. You
we just talked about you taking mom grocery shopping yesterday
and the coupons, and I was accused of kind of
kind of rushing, rushing Mom through the grocery store when
I take her kind of well, there's nothing wrong with

(03:12:01):
you to pick it up, make a decision.

Speaker 3 (03:12:04):
Okay, it's the wrong pauts.

Speaker 4 (03:12:06):
I said that I had the wrong mindset. She's eighty three,
she's been retired, she lives in a cottage and probably
enjoys being out and about and me trying to be
efficient with her time is not necessary. No, okay, I
got it. There's nothing to rush. But I saw this
happen one time on one of these trips with mom.
And you do many more of these than I do. Uh,

(03:12:27):
And we all do different things. But and I think
I appreciate you doing that. But I saw this thing
about digital only couponts and it shut the whole register
down that uh. And because they were saying they weren't
going to honor it. And the woman said, why can
you not honor it? It's right here?

Speaker 3 (03:12:45):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (03:12:46):
And it's San Diego is trying to clear this up,
and they have decided first in the nation to ban
digital only couponts. They say it's causing too much and confusion.
You screamed, which is it? I'll cover it. So everybody
needs to try to stretch their dollars. But corporate grocery
chains are turning basic shopping into.

Speaker 3 (03:13:07):
A rigged game.

Speaker 1 (03:13:09):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (03:13:09):
The these these senior citizens on fixed income are feeling
the financial strain and the increased cost of living and
these digital only uh, some of them can't have access
to them.

Speaker 3 (03:13:21):
It doesn't work for them.

Speaker 4 (03:13:22):
They should be able to have a paper coupon as
well because of their you know, the technologies available to them,
and so they're trying to there are bit there.

Speaker 3 (03:13:32):
Now I'm not.

Speaker 4 (03:13:32):
Saying San Diego is right, but they're accusing these grocery
chains of kind of like the reason why. You know,
if you want to send in your rebate, they'll pay you,
but they know most people will never send them in. Sure,
they're saying they're trying to offer offer coupons, but the
people who use them the most, they're making it more
difficult for them to get them. And I and I
saw somebody get shut down on one of those things.

(03:13:53):
It was like, oh, that's yeah, that's that's digital. And
the one was like I don't have that digital, and
and it was that when you have right, there's outdated,
you need the updated one. Well, I can't know this.
This is not outdated yet. We're not using those anymore.
And then when he got ugly serious about their keubon, Well,
and as you said, speedy many times and when you
do it, you know, it's really stressful. There comes a

(03:14:16):
point where you just want to ask how much money.

Speaker 3 (03:14:17):
We're talking here? Yeah, if you're if you're in.

Speaker 4 (03:14:19):
Line that it may be more than you want to
get in. But if it's if we're talking about cam Bill, Oh,
it happened to me yesterday with dad y did you
do it again? Well, they told him he needed something
after the doctor's visit, uh, and some compression socks for whatever,
And we started running the insurance stuff and I just stopped.

Speaker 3 (03:14:38):
And said how much of the socks? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:14:41):
Can you can?

Speaker 3 (03:14:41):
I just it worked. Yes, I'm like you because some
of you came out in I like, what am I doing?

Speaker 1 (03:14:47):
I know this is the Rick Burgess Show.
