Somebody's shouting at you, somebody saying as you heard, Speedy,
Greg and Adler, the team all here as we start
to a brand new hour brand new show on a

(02:01):
brand new day. Uh, so we've got a lot to cover.
I did mention that, uh you know, we we we
had a super bike in here, on super on on
the supermoti cross thing, we had supercross, supercross, super cross
and supercross, the A m A Supercross. Uh you know
a little short sighted with us cranking up that that

(02:23):
sweet bike in here and letting Nadler get on it
and give it some throttle. Yeah, it left a smell
all through the building and we all, I think really
may have even had, for one just brief moment, a
semi health crisis. But I will tell you what. It's sure,
what's fun. So so that was great for those of
you that are endo monster trucks. Well today the zombie

(02:45):
truck driver, uh, Barri Moose hour will be here today.
You like that. I like that.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
I would like for you not to pause, nous mour,
thank you, Sorri moose sour?

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah, would it kill us to have a truck driver
who's John Smith? No, but a not Barry a R.
Put that in people's heads b A R.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
I Yep, he is I spelled Barry?

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Are you really move? Sour? Mower? Nice? That's how Barr.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
He says, are you gonna get the monster truck in
here like we did?

Speaker 3 (03:16):
That's gonna park it right here.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
He's gonna be right in here, and you're gonna get
in it and give it again this time, give it
gas it kills. Are you ready for a good time?
I've been out of the monster truck world for a while,
but it's everything about just like when you see these
people on bicycles and motorcycles now and turning flips. Now,
they got trucks turning flip crazy. It's real.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
And the way they can walk the wheelie to you.
I mean they get up on the ramp so River.
When he's over, he will sit there and we'll pull
up on YouTube monster jams and you know, they just
have them on the loof forever and he just sits
there and watches them. And uh. The zombie truck which
Barri drives, it's got like little arms out there and
every time he runs, the arms flap around. Then one

(04:03):
arm breaks off.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
And the crowd has to get their arms up. Yeah,
I'm looking. I'm looking right here. So the grave Digger
is still there. It's just got a different driver.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
Now.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Great, you know we got a chick driving now, oh yeah,
I saw that. What's wrong with that?

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Nothing, just the way said, I just like to get
this done.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
And and I'll go, well, did you know that you
have a female driver? Now I saw her on the
on the ad Cynthia Gaultier or something like that drive
a stabilizer. Nobody has a good name. Yeah, I tell what.
Let me tell what I like about it because I
think that I've been to these as well.

Speaker 6 (04:37):
Is uh.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
I like the fact that it's now in outdoor stadiums.

Speaker 7 (04:41):
Yeah, so the indoor arena a little out Yeah, we
that they will be and came back to Protective where
they were all they've been there one time, the home
of the U A B football and Stallions teams, and uh,
they were even talking about it last time about the
amount of dirt that they have have to bring in
for the am Supercross and then they put this back

(05:03):
to back, but they're the drivers.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Last time. We're even talking about the fact that they
got room now you know, to where they don't because
because inside, I mean, once you land, you got to
slam on break.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
The Civic Center is not that big when you're talking
about trucks.

Speaker 6 (05:18):
No, as a kid, I came from watching the monster
truck shows in the Alamodome in San Antonio.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
No offense to the to the VJCC.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Stand by for Adverers Texas Talk Down.

Speaker 6 (05:30):
A Metallica is one of the best concerts I've ever seen,
and it was at the BJCC.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
I've had some good times with the BJCC guys.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Okay, you're talking about the old one.

Speaker 6 (05:38):
Yes, and so it was really disappointing, honestly seeing these
monster trucks without enough room.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
It was really enough room to do donuts.

Speaker 8 (05:45):
It was. That was it.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
And now that they're outside it is it's a game change.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah, you know, I never did get the tractor pull
You remember the tractor pulls. Basically we had vehicles that
were seeing who can pull stuff the futon. That's pretty
much yet. Yeah, yeah, and nears Ex never never went
to one of those, but I remember it was always
kind of a joke about if you're a Southerner, you're
going to attractor pool over that. It was kind of
a little bit of that. I don't know why they
always use that one, but anyway, the monster trucks are

(06:11):
coming in their own tour Birmingham. It's this weekend for
you at Protective So that's since that's where we all
live and where the studio is located. When these tours
come through, that's when we get our shot. And so
we'll talk to the driver of the zombie truck coming
up a little bit later on today, also opening day
for Major League Baseball. Yeah, yeah, I knew that because

(06:33):
I was in Toronto and I saw it on the
big sign out in front of the Blue Jay State
and I thought to myself, only a Canadian team, which
has always been weird to me. Anyway, it is at
one time we had two Canadians we did. Now we
only have one.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Twenty six teams will celebrate Opening Day today? Are the
Expos now the Nationals?

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yes? Is that correct? But anyway, so the but the
Blue Jays are still around and usually competitive and pretty
good and one of the all series in what twenty nineteen?
Is that right? I think they one of the worlds
one years? Where did I pull that out? Everyone went
back when dys they won one in like in Amen
the last ten years? Really yeah, maybe I want to

(07:10):
say twenty nineteen, we're all over Rick. Rick, You're just
reckless right now. You're driving a truck. But the uh
I'll drive. How Canadian is this opening Day? You know
what their promotion was, Uh it was a Toronto's Blue
Jays toboggan. Well, yeah, you need one. Even though they
play indoors, are still it's real cold up so park

(07:31):
a lot. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
So well, besides the Dodgers and the Cubs that you know,
they played March eighteenth in Tokyo, so they've already had theirs.
But uh, there's twenty six teams that are going to
have Opening Day. But the only other hiccup is the
uh the Rockies in the Rays matchup has been moved
back a day to March twenty eighth, to allow more

(07:52):
time to prepare the field in Tampa, Florida that the
Rays are going to call home because remember their home
was damaged with the hurricane.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
It wasn't hurt. It was the hurricane, right, was it Tornette.

Speaker 9 (08:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Anyway, that facility, the spring training home of the Yankees,
will serve as the Ray's home park in twenty twenty
five due to the damage of Hurricane Milton last October
to stretch top a can of field. So they've been
moved back a day. They need another day to get
it ready. To me one more day apparently.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
So all right, so we'll unpack a lot today. You
got some follow up from Muscle Mark yesterday. Some people
are talking about how this pursuit of this unique individual
has has possibly changed their life. Got an email about
that really and want to ask the question if we've
been impacted as well. Okay, so we've got that in

(08:45):
hayburg hay Burge coming up. Speedy also has what he
loves where he plays an audio clip and we don't
have to try to guess what's going on in the
audio clip.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
I don't know if y'all know what's going on. You
say you're very observant and you kind of know what's happening.
I just want to see if you know.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
We'll be back fifteen minutes past the hour.

Speaker 9 (09:05):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Time to plant. I mean, this is it spring us
in the air everywhere you look around. But if you're
like my wife and me, sometimes you don't do well
with these plants. You plant the wrong thing, You don't
really understand the soil, you don't understan take, you didntate
the climate into account, and that's why you need help

(09:36):
from fast growing trees. There's a lot of good reasons
to go to fast growing trees, one of them being,
of course you can order online. They ship it right
to your home. You're not headed over to the nursery
trying to figure things out. You've got a bunch of
pots and dirt and you're pulling the wagon around. Then
now it's on the back of your car, your truck.
Then you got to unload it and all that. It
comes right to your house. But I think what really,
that's one thing that sets them apart. But another is

(09:58):
all the expertise that comes with I think that's a
huge selling point because they're going to be available to
you throughout the process to make sure that you're planning
the right plants. They're going to talk to you say
what are you try to accomplish? Then you tell them
where do you live. I think these plants, these trees,
this would work the best where you are, and here's
where we suggest on your property. You actually plant them,

(10:21):
then you actually they actually thrive, so you're not wasting money.
And right now we can save you a little money too.
They've got there alive and thrive guarantee and sure's your
plants arrive happy and healthy, and the support from their
trained plant experts that help you throughout the process learn
and understand how to actually have a green thumb that

(11:27):
fit to be tied. Make the commitment today as you're
listening to your four life coaches here on the Rick
Burdness Show. It's freed us. It will free you as well.
No longer attempt to try to reason with unreasonable people.
Now people who really would like to have a nice
little discussion and work through something. They're worth it. But

(11:49):
when you realize that you're talking to an unreasonable person
that no matter what you say and how many times
you refute the point and walk out your narrative and
answer their questions and it changes nothing. Move on, You'll
be thankful you did. Okay, the text line really helps.
I'm sorry, you go ahead. The text line really helps
because I knew that I was in Toronto and I

(12:11):
saw something about a championship in twenty nineteen. People are saying, Rick,
that's the Raptors, their basketball team win an NBA.

Speaker 8 (12:18):
You don't know.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
I was looking at I was looking at summer. They
said the Blue Jays, and I looked they haven't won
since like the early nineties. Yeah right, So so anyway,
and they had a good little run there in ninety two,
ninety three to two Pennants in the World Series. And
so it was the Raptors that have won a championship
in Canada here in recent years.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Okay, I didn't.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
I didn't know what you're asking. I'm sorry.

Speaker 6 (12:39):
Yeah, that was with Kawhi Leonard who used to play
for the Spurs. Only only reason why I know about him.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Thanks for leaving me. I know, sorry, and I know
we were just getting started. Everybody busy. Am I the
only one talking about sports? Fashional sports that I really
don't follow? But am I the only one that forgot
that the Sacramento Kings were still an NBA team? Yeah? No,
I never. I don't even know. I saw high They're
the most they were even a team. I forget that exists.

(13:04):
Sacramento King, Yeah, they're still around. This all started with
I can, sorry, Buddy, I beut Adler can if you
ever played for the Spurs?

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yes, we were talking about Major League Baseball official opening
day is today for most of everybody. We were talking
about that. And there is a survey out on the
most new survey, most searched ballpark food by state when
it comes to Major League Baseball. California, they're searching burgers. Texas,

(13:36):
it's nacho cheese. Adler, Pennsylvania it's fries. But they went
state by state. Mississippi and Alabama have something in common.
It's corn dogs. When you're at a when you're at
a ball game, Okay, I'm not talking. I mean you
can go to high school game and stuff, and they
do pretty good on the grill and different things. But

(13:58):
I'm at a ballpark of a professional team, minor league,
you know, major or whatever. What is your go to?

Speaker 1 (14:04):
No, I see, I can't go there, but you can't.
But corn dog is a carnival thing for me. If
I'm at a carnival, I'm getting a corn dog. If
I'm at a ball game, I'm getting a hot dog. Okay,
polish hot dog.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
Oh well, oh yeah, good polish hot dogs, real.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Good, straight up. I like a straight up hot dog.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
If it's a chili dog in there, of course, it's
a little amazing, right. And remember when it comes to
something like a corn dog. That's why the corn dogs,
what a corn dogs problematic? Because you know, a hot
dog at least features a bun. You can put some
stuff on it, and you can get away with eating it.
Around Greg, a corn dog, you're express farks a corn dog,
you're exposed. So I don't say only thing to present.

(14:50):
I don't need a corn dog around Greg ever.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Never uh, North North Carolina, it's ballpark pizza, big big.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Sho pizza Azza.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Anyway, You just talking about the slice as big as
your plate.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Personal pans, someone say the personal pans. I think I'm really,
really a traditionalist. If I'm at a ball game, I'm
gonna find out how the hot dogs are here, and
of course I will always get a bag of peanuts, yes,
the salted ones that I don't like. And you didn't
have to tell us that we watched how you act
by the way, I'm sorry he wasn't here yesterday for
the Bible study. You don't think I didn't know that.
I knew you knew it.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
I was surprised by that it's not on here like
Indiana has stadium cakes. But but here's the most searched
ballpark food sum For some reason, they they've included included
beer in food, which I don't know. Uh, and you
knew Oregon would want that. But you got your corn dogs,

(15:46):
ballpark fries, nacho cheese, hamburgers, nachos with I guess no cheese, pizza, pretzels,
pulled pork sliders, stadium cakes, and bubble gum.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
What is the stadium cake? Why is cake?

Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah, stadium cakes. Let's see.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Do y'all take into account that you're at a ball
game and you're gonna sit down in a seat with
no tray or anything. You gotta be careful what you order. Yeah,
you gotta get. You gotta be able to handle it too.

Speaker 6 (16:13):
I'm googling stadium cake, and only thing that comes up
is cakes that look like stadiums.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
That can't be.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Right now, I see what you're saying there.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
I don't know what a stadium cake is, Indiana.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
What's a stadium cake?

Speaker 8 (16:25):
What do y'all?

Speaker 1 (16:26):
What are y'all talking about?

Speaker 6 (16:27):
Hey, hey, at the Barons games, those barbecue nachos are good.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Oh barbecue nachos.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
But that is good, all right, Indiana, stadium cake? What
what comes up here?

Speaker 1 (16:37):
I don't know remember what we did. I forget where
it was that they had some bizarre stuff. Some of
the yes, some of the combos.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
They came up at the Mets games.

Speaker 6 (16:45):
They're offering a buck a bucket, like a helmet bucket
full of chocolate chip cookies, like twenty chocolate chip cookies.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
People are saying a stadium cake probably is just another
name for a funnel cake.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
Yeah, a funnel.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Probably fun okake. Let me tell you now if you
don't mind though, after you're done, everybody thinking you snort cocaine. Yeah,
but I'm gonna tell you if you're wearing a black shirt.
Let me tell you, yeah, people think that about already,
so yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
It's fine.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Let me tell you I watched I had a funnel
cake right now. The funnel one A warm one. Yeah,
A funnel cake gets a gets a mighty and and
I'm talking about an enthusiastic, hearty pat on the back. Yes,
And I don't funnel cake is well, that's a that's
the boy. Just enough of that powder. Somebody said, rick,

(17:35):
do you eat a corn dog? Get Trade Day? I
don't go to trade Day, but if I did, if
I did, yes.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
Are y'all corn dog or hot dog at the ballpark?

Speaker 1 (17:43):
I would rather or what I would what I usually get.
Horn dog is easier to deal with sitting in a
seat and on that what you said earlier that you're
gonna have to deal with that. I prefer corn dog.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
I prefer cornd I'm going corn at a stadium. I
don't know why always I like a corner corn dog.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
I don't know corn dogs, guys.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
It's it's it's it's sometimes it's soggy, it's not quite right.
And then I always bite the stick, bite the stick.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Every time, the same way with a bomb pop. I
love a good bomb pop, but you get to the stick,
you gotta eat one every night? Really yeah, just about
third level now current day? Oh yeah, I love them, Greg,
Are you a child? I love am? Have one yesterday?

(18:31):
Uh yeah, I got him in the praiser. They are
smaller and a lot smaller than.

Speaker 6 (18:37):
What do you have to take two more bites of
your vegetables to get your bombs every night?

Speaker 9 (18:42):
Or this is the Rick Burgess Show?

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Uh so measles, measles. You know, there's always something scarce.
You know that the I don't know what this new
thing is. Greg and I were discussing prior to the
start of today's show, this new thing of now we're
supposed to all be terrified all the time of some
sort of health issue. Just terror, just everybody be afraid.
Oh no, the latest scare. So the new thing and

(19:16):
a lot of people I've seen this out on social
media and I've laughed every time. You know, we talk
a lot that we've lived long enough now that we
can become those contankerous old men who go, well, I'll
tell you what. Back in our day, you know, we
were tougher. We didn't sweat these things. So now is
more states are reporting measles okay, and now they're giving

(19:39):
you and I love this term outbreak and you look
and it's hundreds of cases outbreak. But anyway, so everything
now is hyperbole and all this spreading throughout the US
sparking discussions about how best to protect children and other
high risk groups from the disease. We certainly want to
do that. But have y'all seen the Brady Bunch thing

(20:00):
that's been circulating? No, we have it here. Now this
is the measles Okay, this is from a Some of
you may be too young to remember the Brady Bunch.
I think most people know the Brady bunchy. This was
a very popular sitcom. Here's a story about a lovely lady.
But anyway, so basically, when I came home from school
and a woman who was divorced and had three little

(20:22):
girls married another guy who got divorced who had three boys,
and then they became the Brady Bunch, okay, and it's
about their life and you know in this house that
and all the things that went on a lovely leading
some of you may not remember. They actually did an
episode about all the Brady kids getting the measles. So
back in the seventies, so America felt a little bit

(20:43):
different about the measles in the seventies. So here is
a little excerpt from that episode compared to the hysteria
of measles today. So here we go.

Speaker 10 (20:54):
What are you doing on from school?

Speaker 3 (20:55):
They sent me home measles.

Speaker 11 (20:58):
See their measles are at change case or red freckles.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
You have got a temperature, they told me, one hundred
and one point one. What's the record?

Speaker 3 (21:06):
Never mind?

Speaker 8 (21:07):
Oh are you sure it's the measles?

Speaker 7 (21:09):
Well, he certainly got all the symptoms, a slight temperature,
a lot of dots, and a great.

Speaker 8 (21:13):
Big smile, A great big smile.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
No school for a few days.

Speaker 8 (21:16):
Fail o to my dotted son for me. Tell them
I'll bring him some comic books and I'll see you later.

Speaker 4 (21:20):
Dere Okay, you get the idea.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
You get that, and then in a minute. Deal.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
This is a life, isn't it.

Speaker 9 (21:27):
You have to get sick.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
She can't beat the measles, that's right. No medicine insider
out like shouts in me.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
Don't even mention shots.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah, so they're all excited that they're all going to
miss school, and they even say, if you're going to
get anything, beaesels is the bead. There's nothing real to
do about it. You just work through it. Oh my goodness.
So and now there's a story. But now end of
top diesels.

Speaker 4 (21:52):
Now have I seen that there was one death?

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Is that right?

Speaker 1 (21:57):
I have not seen that, But I mean I assume
with anything there are people that are high risk and
can have it bad. I mean there's people that die
of every sickness.

Speaker 6 (22:06):
Absolutely, and that's what I'm saying. There's there's been one
that I have seen, and it was a it was
a girl. Her parents were part of.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
Like a Mennonite community in the United States.

Speaker 6 (22:17):
And uh, the media is playing this up like it
is see you all you people, all you anti vaxxers
or whatever.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
You know, there's always that angle, and it's.

Speaker 6 (22:27):
It's coming out that the girl was actually treated incorrectly once.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
She was in the hospital.

Speaker 8 (22:32):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (22:33):
So it's it's not as cut and dry as people
are saying. Another thing, if you have if you have
thirty seconds for this quick clip from Tucker Carlson's guest
talking about the decline in measles before the vaccine, it
was already down ninety eight percent.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Measles deaths.

Speaker 12 (22:51):
Public health authorities should take credit for the decline in
measles deaths in America. They should the should take credit
in the following way. Between the year nineteen hundred I
saw on the CDC website when I'm about to tell
you and the year nineteen sixty sixty one sixty two,
the years before the first musles vaccine American ninety sixty three,

(23:13):
the mortality rate for measles declined by over ninety eight percent. Yes,
by over ninety eight percent. That is, you can just
go pull up the mortality out on the CDC website.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
So we had the mortality rate down to a ninety
eight percent as far as as no issue with anybody
before the vaccine ever was readily available.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Before the vaccine even came out. The slope is look
at it. I'm showing it right on the screen.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Look if it's your loved one that has problems and
has a bad reaction. Like I've said, you know, this
is what is always interesting to me when you get
into the vaccine world. And I'm not anti vacs. I
am for us being wise and having safe vaccines. I
am for that and not being foolish. Are thinking we
throw a vaccine at everything it comes down the pike.

(24:04):
I'm not for that, but there's been some very effective
vaccines that have been wonderful. But I just want to
throw this out there. Anytime somebody has a negative health
reaction to a vaccine, we're told that that's just part
of it. But it's a small number of people. But
if one person dies of a disease, certain suddenly the
disease is the end of time. So if we're going

(24:25):
to say that some people, not very many people have
problems and big problems with vaccines, but people do if
that's treated one way, but if people get sick and
don't do well, that's treated another way. To me, that's
very inconsistent. There's a danger in certain vaccines, and there's
a danger with diseases, and I think that as human beings,

(24:45):
you kind of weigh out. Just like what happened with
the vaccine with the pandemic. I didn't take it because
I thought it was very sketchy. They readily said they
rushed it to market with my health in my immune system.
I felt like that a bad reaction to a thrown together,

(25:07):
rush to market, unproven vaccine that was probably a bigger
health risk to me than COVID would be. Now that
wasn't the case for everybody. And then, of course we
got a lot of bad information that if we would
just take the vaccine, we would be safe from the
virus and we could go on with our lives. And
I understand why people thought. I mean, even I was going, well,

(25:28):
maybe I should just do this, because man, they sure
are really telling me that all my worries would be over.
And I hate hassling and worrying about this and mask
and can't do this and ten days stay home and
all these six feet all this ridiculous stuff we were doing.
And it got portrayed that you could have your life
back if you would just take this rush to market vaccine.

(25:49):
That turned out not to be true. So I'm thankful
that I didn't do it. But and yes, I did
have COVID one time, and maybe I've had it again
since then. I don't really know.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
But so did everybody else that got vaccinated.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Right, So I think that you take them case by case.
And I think this thing with the measles, when you're
looking right now, you're looking at three hundred and seventy
eight total cases across the entire country. And that's the
CDC's on numbers. You're looking at California with eight, Florida
you know, has one, You've got three in Georgia. I

(26:26):
mean these are not this is I mean, will it
pick up? It probably will because this is contagious. But
I think we also got to talk about the mortality rate,
which was what we try to talk about even with
COVID is you've got to weigh out, you know, when
you've got something, like I said, that's experimental and then

(26:46):
something that's proven. And then you also have to weigh
out a disease that can be deadly versus one that
will just be an inconvenience.

Speaker 8 (26:54):
You know.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
It's not that you're not allowed to do that anymore.
And I think that is the hysteria around all of this.
But remember we even pick and choose hysteria. If somebody
has a bad reaction to vaccine, you're not allowed to
be hysterical. If somebody has a bad reaction to a virus,
then it's hysteria. And so this picking and choosing, when

(27:16):
we really need to be level headed about all of it,
is a much better place to be.

Speaker 6 (27:19):
I'm just glad that all of the illegals that Biden
let over the border were vaccinated against measles.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
The millions and millions of people that came over the
border completely unvetted. Good thing, they were vaccinated.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Well, that's the thing we said that that should be
a problem. We said that when that was going on,
we had a government that didn't seem to was not
able to make up its mind. Same thing with measles.
If measles is the end of time, if it returns
back to the United States of America, then that would
be a reason you would really really vet the border
that people don't come in they don't have the measles vaccine.

(27:51):
And then you told us that the COVID vaccine. To
not do that was evil. Some people still talking that way,
by the way, But yet we let the border wide
open with people and coming in. See, those two things
are mutually exclusive. So it was a little confusing for
us to watch. And that's where you have people doubting
that you're telling them the truth when you're the truth
that you're telling seems to be really inconsistent with another

(28:13):
area of your platform. If it all looks uniform, and
it all looks consistent, you probably have more credibility. But
when you've got everybody in America needs to be vaccinated
or you're evil. But people who are coming through our
border unvetted with no vaccines, they're okay. That's confusing. That's
very confusing. And I would say an unvetted border has

(28:35):
done more to create health issues than a lot of
other things we claim creat them.

Speaker 6 (28:42):
It feels like it's about like money and control versus
actual improving people's health. And we always try to be
factually correct here on the show, and I need to
correct something that was said earlier in this segment, and
just for the sake of being accurate, I think Mike
Brady was technically a widower or a widow.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, well, I couldn't remember how they all ended up
with kids and single parents, but.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
We try to be accurate.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
It was still a story about a lovely lady. Was
she divorced? What was her?

Speaker 13 (29:11):
US?

Speaker 9 (29:12):
Bird show.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
A lot to cover? Okay, Brady bunch people. Dad was
a widower, mom was a divorcee. It was the seventies.
I guess you couldn't have them both divorced, but anyway, so, uh,
that was not the point of the story. But you're right,
we need to be acurate. We found out other stuff
about dad later. Yeah, I knew that. So guys, I

(29:41):
was trying to get off the Brady Bunch before Greg
did that. But no, you wouldn't let us. So that's
that's on your all. We did. I love, Oh, the
Brady Bunch was fantastic. Oh, when I was a kid
that come home from school give me a snack. Oh, yes, well,
and I know you have a brother named Brady, so
I mean no harm no, but we were it was

(30:02):
either it was it Brody. I think Brody was nearly
named Brady. And that was one of the reasons why
I stood in in the gap. I said, he'll be
called Brady Bunch.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
And and and that's what she came to.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
And she said, she said, when he grows up, do
you think any of his friends will even know about
the Brady Bunch? And I said, the Brady Bunch is
an icon. You name a kid Brady, he's gonna face
Brady much and uh, and so we we went we're
broke a good one.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (30:31):
When when what's your name got hit in the face
with the football, Marshall.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Yeah, believe it. Yeah, that was no to me. It was.
It was a show that always delivered. It really did.
It was a lot when Marsha was going out with
Warren mullaney and he'd bet Greg ad on the basketball name.
He was mad about it. Greg. By the way, how
do you know Warren Mullane. Buddy Hinton was the kid
that was making fun of her talking baby talk, baby talking.

(30:57):
I wonder which maybe my favorite episode? Of course it was.
It was based on you you are buddy hinting. No,
there's every neighborhood's got one. There's got every neighborhood has
a Boumont, and every neighborhood has a buddy hinting yes,
uh huh yeah, And so we had ours. Mark Robertson
he was our buddy hinting. You know what. That's the
most brutal. He would just say horrible things. That day

(31:20):
he made fun of somebody's dad. I couldn't believe it
was he was like something off television. I didn't think
you were allowed to do that. Well, he was gracious,
he was. He went after somebody's dad. I was verbally,
not physically. He said something to the kid about his
dad that I thought, you can't do that. I don't

(31:40):
think we're allowed. You can't make fun of someone's dad. Yeah,
what were you going to do?

Speaker 9 (31:46):
Go to your daddy?

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Should I say it?

Speaker 6 (31:48):
Now?

Speaker 1 (31:49):
And then he had a nickname for his away from
the neighborhood. Might know it was not good. I thought
that that's taking bully to a whole new lady.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
We can't touch that, all right, somebody on my dad?
I tell you, I mean I might get my butt. Well,
but we're fighting.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Oh yeah. But now, being the bully that he was,
he knew who to say it. Yeah, he picked, he
picked and chose. Yeah, he knew who. This is just
really a commentary on it's horrible. Uh, somebody said hit
their name is Brady Birds one hundred percent right. Everybody
knows about the Brady Bunch and I hear it all

(32:24):
the time. Oh wow, it's an icon. It seems to transcend.
People know Brady Bunch. Now, wasn't there an episode two
where Greg became like it? Because this happens with any
show that developed a big audience and had young people
on it that at one time he actually did a
tour and everything. He was like singer Johnny Bravo was
that or something? What wasn't he went yeah, something didn't

(32:47):
They warned him to change his name, right, and we
did find and we did find out. Wouldn't he like
Dayton Florence. No, that was they've addressed that. They went
out like just his friend especially.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
I think you're right. I think it is Johnny Bravo.

Speaker 6 (33:02):
Okay, talent agent signs Greg to become a rock star
named Johnny Bravo.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Okay, God, Greg, you you really you can't you think
you had the family when they would do silver platters,
the silver platters because they were trying to get that
platter for the parents for the anniversary. Right.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
Is there a streaming service that just has this. I'm
sure they find it is like a Netflix you.

Speaker 6 (33:22):
Can watch on It's on Paramount. Oh okay, Plus it's
on TV for free.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
There you go.

Speaker 6 (33:29):
It's on Amazon Prime with subscription, and YouTube with subscription,
and Roku with subscription.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
You could only you could only do this, only watch
Andy Griffith black and White. Only are Brady Bunch. You
had to pick one of the others, and he's a kid.
I barely remember when it was in prime time. You know,
most of my memories it was after school. But the
time Joe Namath was on there, and I was a kid.
I didn't think of getting no better than that. You
remember that, oh when he was on Brady Bunch. Yes, yes,

(33:55):
Bobby was dreaming that Joe Joe was in full gear
throwing him passes. Oh, yes, I thought that was awesome.
You wouldn't give up Andy Griffith for that. No, what
about Partridge Family versus Brady Bunch, Brady, I think Martridge Family.
I wasn't that into. Yeah, a legend.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
If there was a March Madness bracket of sitcoms in
the seventies, whatever, strong who do you think would be
in the final four?

Speaker 1 (34:23):
You got Happy Days would have to be there, all right,
because that was that eighties or seventies.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Well, I'll give you seventies, you know to mid if
it led over as long as it started in seventy.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yeah, yeah, I think Happy Days would be in the
final four. Andy Griffith would absolute even though that came
out in the sixties, but it went through the seventies
and everybody still loved it. That would be in the
final four. Brady Bunch I think gets there in there.
I think they get there. If you want to go
after it was Island, Yeah, that's after school stuff. But
well that was that was a sitcom, but I don't
I don't remember prime time though.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
All right, so seventy one to seventy nine All in
the family, Oh yeah, absolutely, then you got I know,
nobody here really followed mash right.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Oh I did you liked it? I like that's interesting?
Did you, Harry? Did you get a little tear in
your glass eye at the last episode? This episode was terrible?

Speaker 3 (35:11):
What about the Strong Shirley? Did you ever watch that?

Speaker 1 (35:13):
We did?

Speaker 3 (35:14):
But it was okay Mary Tyler Moore show. That was funny.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
God since, yes, very great?

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Moving on up Sanford and Sons.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Loved loved, uh three goodness? Three's Company?

Speaker 1 (35:26):
What what I watched it? What a field hazard?

Speaker 8 (35:29):
Have you ever? Have you ever seen it?

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Have you ever seen the like the pilot or the
first one? They threw out a Three's Company and they
had two different actresses. Oh really, Yeah, it's weird, real weird.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
Who changed the husband on Idream?

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Agenie?

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Didn't he change be Witched?

Speaker 3 (35:46):
Darren?

Speaker 8 (35:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (35:48):
Seventy eight to eighty two was w k RP in cincinnat.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
I like that? That was strong?

Speaker 3 (35:54):
Okay, watch his face right here?

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Did you like more? More and Mandy hated it. Yeah,
there's a shocker.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
Hey, we got us a tough march madness here on seventy.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
This is tough.

Speaker 4 (36:08):
All gives the Muffet Show anything good?

Speaker 1 (36:10):
No, I was too.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
Old for about good times.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
Don't forget that. I love good time. Land of the
Lost that Saturday morning Leave It to Beaver?

Speaker 9 (36:23):
Is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Another thing? I know a lot of us are wondering.
Only we would find this out today. Where do you
think your state is in the United States of America?
Are you more susceptible based on where you live to
an alien attack? Is your state more ready?

Speaker 8 (36:47):
Do you?

Speaker 1 (36:48):
We have a list today based on certain criteria and
which states are most prepared to take on alien forces
from another planet.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
They took a couple of number of things. Population in
twenty twenty five UFO data like UFO sightings all that stuff,
landscape data, a number of caves, area of covered forest,
covered bodies of water, all that kind of stuff. Military

(37:20):
defense in twenty twenty five total military force per one
thousand people, law enforcement per one thousand people, science, engineering,
medical professionals were all kind of bundled up together. But
like number of scientists per one thousand people, engineers, and
healthcare weapons.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
Well, would that be the military stuff.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
Probably yeah, I would think so, number of healthcare professionals
per one thousand people. And the last one is number
of food and beverage manufacturing companies when the slang food
sources out. And they came up with the top four.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Top four states that are ready based on that criteria. Yeah,
I don't hear in there individual citizens armed and read
right right, because I think that's big.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
But yeah, but go ahead. But so so, what they
came up with is this study shows the top four
states to survive an alien invasion in twenty twenty one.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
And we're talking about space people, not not an open border. Correct.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
And what it is is you came that ten being
the highest score. The alien survival score is ten is
the max?

Speaker 1 (38:26):
Got it?

Speaker 3 (38:27):
And the top four states number four New York?

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Oh, come on what New York?

Speaker 3 (38:35):
It had a score of seven point seventy nine.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Did they even have guns?

Speaker 1 (38:38):
Come on it?

Speaker 8 (38:40):
It had it had.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
I think what really helped them was the overall population and.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
All like that. It's a bunch of people that can't fight.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
Yeah, and then they have a lot of you know,
scientists and engineers, even New Yorkers aren't tough.

Speaker 4 (38:52):
They're all bunched up together. One laser blast.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
They're on one place a score of seven point eight one,
and tough for me to say is Massachusetts.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
They say that Massachusetts can take on any enemy. They
can't take on anything.

Speaker 3 (39:07):
The what are they gonna throw you up? So data
they had a low score. Caves they have zero forest,
It was a pretty low score. Where they jump up
is number of scientists, engineers, healthcare professionals, all that kind
of stuff.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
That's where there's the fight. Though, where's the fight?

Speaker 2 (39:25):
The scientists aren't going to help you. That's too late.
If the aliens are already here, I.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
Could take on I could take over Massachusetts.

Speaker 8 (39:32):
Yeah I could.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
I could go grab a few guys from Calhoun County.
We would take the whole state over.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
Zero problem.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
The coming in at number two on a study that
shows the top four states survival rate of an alien
invasion is Alabama.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
There you score is dad, seven point nine one. Yes, sir,
we're ready. They sweed home Alabama, shammer. Alabama is ready.
We're ready.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
And coming in at number one is Virginia. Virginia scored
the highest with eight point zero six outscoring Alabama, who
had a seven point nine to one is the best
state's best state survival score when it comes to an
alien invasion. They did real well on what they did. Yeah,

(40:20):
they did good on a number of different things. But
you know, of course, when it came to landscape data
and all that they scored, you know, off the charts
with number of caves, covered forest, bodies of water, all
this kind of stuff. So I guess there's more places
to hide set up military force. Per one thousand people,

(40:41):
they had a really high score. But the state that
you don't want to live in coming in at the very.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
Bottom Nevada under an alien attack, right, Nevada and people.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
Had a five point two seven score. Salis already Well
that's true. Uh, Second to last, Idaho, then Arizona, Nebraska, Oregon, Utah,
and this goes on and on. But the top four Virginia, Alabama, Massachusetts,
and New.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
York Alabama does not surprise me. But the rest of
it should be filled with Mississippi, Louisiana, yes, yeah, now
that Florida. Yeah, Florida, Yeah, I was, I was, maybe
I'll grab a Carolina.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
Yeah, in South and North Carolina.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
Florida came in. Uh see one, two, three, four, five,
it's what six? Florida was six.

Speaker 8 (41:34):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
Georgia was down a little bit, which was surprising. Tennessee
way on down and Mississippi is way down. Mississippi got
a six point nine to three score.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
What's up with that's shocking?

Speaker 4 (41:45):
What was the positives about Alabama?

Speaker 8 (41:48):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Alabama?

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Let's see here we got landscape data is through the
charge military all that is medical really high in food
sources too.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Oh yeah, country boy answer Bob is.

Speaker 9 (42:02):
The Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Yeah, trumpy trumpy Trump. All right. So Trump apparently is
at a uh some sort of press conference. Is he
making a statement?

Speaker 7 (42:21):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (42:21):
He spots a reporter wearing a mask. He's in the
Oval Office, So this is this is in the Oval Office. Yeah,
in the Oval Office. And he spots a reporter with
a sert with these mask on that we keep seeing
that we don't fully understand. But COVID mask. Yeah, a
COVID mask. So here here's Trump. Here, here we go
California Education.

Speaker 13 (42:43):
You know, I haven't seen a mask in so long.
You're wearing a mask, So nice of you. I haven't
seen anybody wearing a mask in a long time.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
It's good.

Speaker 13 (42:50):
You feel more comfortable, right, good, that's good.

Speaker 5 (42:54):
So the.

Speaker 9 (42:58):
Controls to see how at the state like California.

Speaker 13 (43:04):
Well, I think that California is going to be tougher
because they are they're doing badly and everything they do.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
That's good, feel safe, feel safe, good for you, that
makes you feel good good. So all the things we
keep revealing about them not doing any good good none
that changes. Yeah, wow, Okay, So then you get into
this the Elon Musk and I know this is not
a new narrative, but I don't want to get to
the point where it's a tired narrative. It's still interesting

(43:33):
to try to reveal the hypocrisy of those that are
opposing Elon Musk. Now and the d OGE mission. Here
is a flashback to Barack Obama. Hang on to that,
a flashback to Barack Obama who actually agrees that what
we're finding out through Elon Musk and the Doge uh

(43:57):
that if we're going to ever get our country and
physical you know, good health, it's going to require some sacrifice,
and it's going to require us stop doing uh are
we have to have some resolve to stop doing some
of the things that we're doing that are wasteful. So
here's Obama commenting on that. But keep keep in mind now,
when Elon reveals these things, Democrats who loved Obama now

(44:20):
hate Elon. But here's Obama.

Speaker 5 (44:22):
Everyone knows that getting rid of the deficit will require
some tough decisions, and that includes cutting back on billions
of dollars in programs that a lot of people care about.
But what should be easy is getting rid of the
pointless waste and stupid spending that doesn't benefit anybody, waste
we should be getting rid of even if we didn't
have a deficit. Sure, some of these cuts aren't that big,

(44:44):
but no amount of waste is acceptable, not when it's
your money. Not of the time, when so many Americans
are already cutting back justice families are living within their means,
government should too. Did you know that the federal government
pays for a website devoted to a folk music ensemble
made up of forest rangers. They're called the Fiddland Foresters.

(45:05):
That's I'll put their music on my iPod, but I'm
not paying for their website. And there are hundreds of
similar sites that we should consolidate, or just get rid of.
By the way, you're not only paying for websites no
one needs, you're paying for thousands of buildings all across
the country no one uses.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (45:22):
For the last decade, the government's owned a massive and
completely empty warehouse in the middle of Brooklyn, for example. Now,
the government hadn't been able to sell this building and
others like it because of red tape and Washington politics
that help things up for years. But we're finally cutting
through all that and plan to get rid of these
buildings in the months ahead. We need to step up

(45:43):
our game. We need to go after every dime. We
need to make government work for you.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
Agreed, Okay, So here we go again, y'all. That's that's
Barack Obama, who I did not vote for. Adler said,
that's why he voted for that. That's right, right, right
the first time, the first time.

Speaker 13 (45:57):
Man.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
But I will say that I one hundred per agree
with everything he said and would have applauded and did
applaud I As a taxpayer, I don't care if a
Democrats getting rid of wasteful spending are a Republican. I
want it to go away. I don't want tax dollars
wasted on stupid things. It's all about who says it, though,
And as Obama correctly said, and Elon's trying to say

(46:19):
with those who agreed with Obama disagree with Elon, who's
sang the same thing, and Trump, who's sang the same thing,
is that we can protect some of the programs that
would be more sacrificial if we just start getting rid
of the ones that won't be a sacrifice for anybody.
They're just dumb. Let's start there first. And Obama said it,

(46:40):
and I agree with it. Elon and the Trump administration
are revealing it and saying it, and I agree with
them too, because it's a valid point no matter who's
saying it. Yes, And now we get to Scott Jennings
unpacking some of the things that are going on, and
that is the left celebrating tesseless decline and the TESTESLA

(47:00):
attacks and course, no surprise here, Jennings is a little
perplexed by this behavior.

Speaker 9 (47:05):
Here we go.

Speaker 11 (47:06):
I don't know how the Democrats came to appoint Jasmine
Crockett as the unquestioned leader of your party, but thank god,
and I think what she should do is go on
TV twice as much as she is right now, maybe
three times as much, because every time she appears and
makes one of these mistakes says something radical, it only

(47:27):
further divides her party from the rest of the other
eighty percent of America who can't stand this. But the
problem is there's an audience for it. I heard Jimmy
Kimmel's audience cheering on Tesla vandalism. I hear the Daily
Show audience cheering on attacks on Elon Musk. I hear
the Human Rights audience cheering on an attack on a
man in a wheelchair, and I realize this is what

(47:49):
the left has become, an angry mob of people who
are cheering on attacks on a guy in a wheelchair
and vandalism against people who bought a tesla.

Speaker 8 (47:58):
It's pathetic.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
Yup. I don't have anything to add to that. Mike
Johnson goes on and as asking some of the same
questions our speaker and says things that we all at
one time celebrated together as Americans. Now the left will
not celebrate if they think it would benefit the right
in any way, or if it's something the right did

(48:21):
why they were in power. So he's going to run
a list here. Here's speaker Mike Johnson.

Speaker 10 (48:25):
Axios reported yesterday that Democrats are quote in their deepest
hole in nearly fifty years. This is not a mystery.
Everyone understands what's happening and why. In their haste to
oppose President Trump in our efforts to make government more efficient,
Democrats are cutting off their noses despite their own face. Look,
I made a list of this. They're cheering the decline

(48:46):
of an American company which employs over one hundred thousand workers.
They refuse to celebrate the return of stranded American astronauts
because SpaceX facilitated their return without a hint of irony.
They're trading in their electric vehicles for SUV as was
noted earlier. All right, they publicly refused to stand for
a childhood cancer survivor victims of violent crimes during President

(49:09):
Trump's joint address. Their message has gone from it's more
than just anti Trump, now it's anti American.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
That that's a valid point. Now that has not been
said that clear before. If they if it has, I
missed it. Their message has moved from anti Trump. You
can be anti a candidate a person, but now it's
moved to be anti American. This list that he just listed,
these are not Trump issues, they're American issues. The government waste,
as I said, is a is an issue for Americans. Uh,

(49:39):
Tesla's decline is not good for America. And and and
they're and they're saying that he's moving on. Look, this
is how the crazy it's gotten. In three c we
have a man arrested because look, trust me, you hear
us play the clip about the public. Now, we've got
some kind of mental health right now. And it is
a sad thing. It is. It is a yes, things

(50:01):
that one time people could reasonably discern and and and
even disagree or react in a in a sane way. People.
Now you can work them into just frenzies that that
leave this earth and leave the world of being reasonable.
Here is a man arrested for crashing into multiple teslas

(50:22):
on a small four wheeler.

Speaker 4 (50:23):
Y'all aren't ready for the small four wheeler.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
Please, Look, what's I know who's gonna win that battle?

Speaker 8 (50:28):
Right y'all?

Speaker 2 (50:29):
Y'all?

Speaker 4 (50:29):
This four wheeler has all it can handle.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
Oh my goodness, So he's the dubs. This this guy,
this guy, I mean, he's got to get a bigger
four wheel, four wheel, So he's just ramming into people's teslas. Now,
I want you to think how dumb it is flying forward.
Think about how dumb it is that he's on purpose
crashing a small motorized vehicle that his unsmall self is

(50:55):
sitting on. How dangerous it is to him of them
handlebars almost went. It's the guy in that backpack. Have
y'all seen the footage and what's gonna happen with people
like like our male dank here you're you're Did you
see the guy come out and catch the guy king
his tesla?

Speaker 8 (51:12):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (51:13):
And he the man knew the martial arts and was
also carrying some sort of weapon stick or something, and
he pulverized the guy I'm talking about, pulverized him.

Speaker 6 (51:23):
Tesla's are the worst vehicle to vandalize. They have what
is called sentry mode on them. And all the cameras
are recording.

Speaker 4 (51:31):
What's wrong with people?

Speaker 1 (51:32):
But this is just insane, it's horrible, it's just insane,
it's mentally ill.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
It's terrorism.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 9 (51:42):

Speaker 1 (51:50):
So I wonder what would you think of any conservative?
And there may have been some, There may have been
some they wouldn't me, and it wouldn'tnybody in this room
when we finally took out Osama bin Laden during the
Obama presidency, that we were against that and wouldn't celebrate
that because Obama's administration was in power when we did that. Yeah,

(52:12):
I mean, can you imagine that? I mean, how and
if you did that, that's goofy. It was good that
our country took this guy out after all that he
did to our country and was doing to people, and
the fact that it was under the Obama administration. I
applaud the efforts to get that done, and of course
the individuals who did it deserved the most applause. But

(52:33):
I'm not going to go, well, I can't really be
excited about that because then, I mean, the Obama administration
gets credit for that. I remember when Obama came out
and announced that. I was thrilled, and I didn't vote
for him, and I don't like his policies and ideology,
but I sure were glad that our country under his leadership,
got that done. Yeah, you know, and so, but that's

(52:53):
what's weird. It's like, now we've left that kind of
and that wasn't that long ago. I mean, we have
declined on this craze monocal attitude about I disagree with
you politically, So now I have to be against anything
that you do or associated with, even if it benefits me. Yeah,

(53:14):
because I don't want to give you any kind of
You don't have to celebrate and do some parade, but
at least don't be against it. So here's another one
that's kind of weird. And I was asking Adler because
you know he handles most of our uh most of
are political now and so Adler, I was I was wondering,
I didn't fully understand this story and speed of you

(53:35):
laid it out, so you probably do too. That there's
something called the Young Women's Leadership. It's a nonprofit and uh,
and I assume based on the story that they are
a conservative group. Is that correct? Yes, these are conservative women.
So apparently their group have in the past, even last year. Uh,

(53:58):
they used the brand, and YETI the thermal cup for
them to have. You know how sometimes you get logoed
things that you give out to people and you know,
you know there it is the center for conservative women.
And YETI had been fulfilling that order and making those
cups for them with no issue whatsoever. So they went

(54:20):
to get the exact same product from YETI that they
got last year, thinking there would be nothing different. They've
been doing this apparently for a decade, ten years. We
submitted our payment and got all the confirmation emails and
all that. Now we've been told that that Yedi will
not make the cups for us anymore. And this is

(54:41):
something and she said when I, when I heard about it,
this is a person with the group. I went to
talk to a YETI supervisor. I went back and forth
many times, and eventually this supervisor for YETI said, no,
there isn't anyone else to talk to. You just need
to know that from YETI to you, it's a solid no,

(55:06):
we will not make the cups anymore.

Speaker 8 (55:07):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (55:08):
So I don't know that there's any validity to the message.
But the message in this story is they rejected them
because things have changed. Now. You can't with you know,
if you're out there tearing up Tesla's and you won't
celebrate a little boy with cancer who wants to be
you know, and you can't do all that. You can't
celebrate the astronauts being brought home. All these things that

(55:30):
Mike Johnson mentioned in the weird trashing of Tesla products
and dealerships and stuff. If that's now our environment, and
apparently it is, it wouldn't be. It's plausible. I'll say
it that way, that yeti's turning them down because of
their political views. Now I don't know the political views
of YETI. I don't pretend to know that, but.

Speaker 6 (55:49):
Well, the group that was trying to get these cups
made reached out to YETI to say why they accepted
our payment, right, why aren't you guys going to make
these cups for us again? And supposedly the YETI representative responded, well,
because of the word conservative being on the actual cup,
that means you, guys, you might be a nonprofit, but

(56:10):
you're also political, so we're not going to do political products,
so we can't do it.

Speaker 4 (56:17):
That's what YETI is actually saying.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
They did cut.

Speaker 6 (56:20):
Ties with the NRA in back in twenty eighteen, so
YETI for a long time has been maybe either distancing
themselves from conservative political outlets or going trying to be
non political at all. But I don't know of any
examples of YETI saying we're not going to make cups
for the Center.

Speaker 4 (56:39):
For Liberal women. I don't know if that has happened.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
Well, I really honestly, just being balanced, I don't have
a problem if they treat both political parties the same
and say we just don't want we are not going
to make any products that have political statements we consider
conservative of political statement, as you said other and I agree,
but we also won't do it if there's a liberal
organization or anything to do with the left or the right,

(57:03):
or any political statement. We may have done that for years,
we're not doing it anymore. But if they're just only
feeling that way about one political view, I would have
a problem with that. They have the right to do it,
but I would have a problem with it. But if
they're just saying, hey, we're kind of an outdoorsy munch,
we don't want to be involved in anything political, and
we don't want anything political on our products, I don't

(57:24):
have a problem with that as long as it's balanced.
Yeah yeah, And you're acknowledging it's a change in policy, correct, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
And at in the past you have right, yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
And at the bottom of the story to what y'all
just said. Their official statement says the new policy prevents
customizing products aligned with any political affiliation or organization, in
addition to content that's considered obscene, vulgar, blah blah blah,
blah blah. And they say, we regret due to this mistake,
this policy was not followed with the previous online order.

(57:57):
So they're admitting, how y'all made the order, we didn't
tell you, and now we've made a mistake and we're sorry.
But to their point is it's hadn't been a problem
in the past and nothing's changed. So maybe they have
a new policy that's been enacted with this within the
last year.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
Maybe I would say it wouldn't surprise me. And I
actually don't have a problem with this that at one
time political statements were not so you know, crazed out
they and people, that's the word I was looking for.
They weren't as divisive in the past, so we could
get away with it. The way people are acting now,
we just don't want to be in at all. I
can't actually understand that. Yeah, and they're like, we just

(58:33):
want to sell cups. Now, I agree with the person
who on the text line, I was going to say
the same thing. Now I have found the YETI product
to be the most overpriced product in the world. I'm exaggerating,
but I've never understood where they get their value. And
they're heavy. Yeah, I mean I've used their products before,
but I'm not even like speedy. I'm not cheap, but
I think the price of a YETI is outrageous because

(58:57):
based on what you're getting, I mean, there's other products
that are comparable that don't cost near as much. My
personal world, I don't need a coder that can keep
things cold for like two weeks. I'm never gonna need that,
right you know, well, especially if I can get a
product that's pretty much as good about like you said, Adler,
for substantially less, that accomplishes what I need to accomplished. Yeah,

(59:18):
that's my point. Yeah, And there may be people that
need that in their life. I'm not one of them,
all right, So so there it is. And if they're
getting out of political altogether because the political environment has changed,
I can understand that, but it can't just be one way,
and there's no evidence it is.

Speaker 9 (59:33):
Yet This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (59:42):
All right, So some other things to discuss before we
talk monster trucks. Here in a moment, Lebron James and
stephen A. Smith a little dust up. Oh yeah, dust up. Well,
in all fairness, it's when you're dealing with players and athletics,
it co with the territory. I mean, you're you're going

(01:00:02):
to be criticized. We were raised in that home. That's
what our family did for a living, and our dad
taught us all. If the team's winning, everybody will love dad.
If the team's losing, everybody will hate dad and be
ready to get rid of death. That's kind of how
this all works. So don't you got to understand that.
So when Lebron's being criticized, players are being criticized, I

(01:00:24):
think that has some intensity, but not near Steven A.
Smith has gone after this father's son relationship and how
what he's doing with his son and kind of bringing
him on to the Lakers when he's maybe not quite
legitimately good enough to be there. Stephen A. Smith didn't
pull any punches on that. And even when after which

(01:00:48):
I think where Lebron says where I have a problem,
he began to question me as a father. It's one
thing to question me as a player. Our question you
know my son is a player, but you kind of
went after our father son relationship up and you're calling
me a bad father and now that that's taking it
to a whole new level. So this this is uh

(01:01:08):
and understood. I mean we we may agree with the
assessment of stephen A. Smith, and I think most people do,
but he's saying that Steven A. Smith kind of went
where he really didn't have to go. He could have
made his point without going there. So he Lebron was
on with Pat McAfee and addressed you know where. They

(01:01:29):
were talking about how the media covers the NBA, and
so he said he referred to Steven A. Smith and
I don't know what does he mean by this. He's
on the Taylor Swift tour run right now.

Speaker 6 (01:01:41):
He couldn't wait for the video to come out talking
about how so there's there, here's Lebron and Steven a
courtside kind of getting into it. And Lebron is saying
that as this video was coming out and going viral,
stephen A couldn't wait for it.

Speaker 4 (01:01:54):
He was going on a tour. You're seeing them everywhere
talking about it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:57):
So the video of what we're watching, Yeah, Steven now
he got out ahead of it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:02):
No, he got behind it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
He got behind it talking to everybody about it and
making a big deal out of it, and where Lebron
confronts him court side and kind of give him a
peace of mind.

Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
I guess, did I see the headline that stephen A
claimed if Lebron would have took a swing at him,
that he tore into him.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
I don't know, Yes, I have that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
You do have that clip? Yes, I just saw him
standing side by side, all right, here we go.

Speaker 6 (01:02:28):
That man put his hands on me, I would have
immediately swung on him immediately.

Speaker 9 (01:02:33):
That man put his hands on me, I would have
immediately swung.

Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
On him immediately. I don't know about that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:40):
Now I've heard the argument on You know, it's obvious
Lebron didn't retire and has stayed on because of this
moment of being able to have a son in the
court with him and all that. Say what you want
to about all that, but but one one point that
you know you kind of have to go, well, it
might have something here is that by by his son
being on the court making the team, it took a

(01:03:01):
slot of somebody is well deserving and they have a
future and now they're not able to be there. But
you know, sometimes people are like, well, you know, he's
given a lot to this game. He's given a lot
to the Lakers. It's okay, But a lot of folks
say the only reason he's there is because of his dad.
I mean, there's this is a pretty heated argument here.

Speaker 1 (01:03:18):
Well, would most players with his son skills from wherever
you did in college till now? Would that would he
be a G League guy?

Speaker 3 (01:03:27):
Problem?

Speaker 1 (01:03:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:03:30):
Or not?

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
Maybe?

Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
Not even make it?

Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
Please, you've heard all.

Speaker 3 (01:03:33):
I mean, that's not me, that's just what I've heard.

Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
He's had some good games recently.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
Yeah, guys, please. There's a video that Adler is showing
those you can't see it, and it's show showing Steven
Ah Smith working out with a trainer trying to box.
He don't need to swing it anybody.

Speaker 4 (01:03:49):
What's he punched it? What's that first punch?

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
Are you punching?

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
I thought it was sad in the hip. I thought
it was sad when the trainer actually took the pads off.
Just hit my hands. I'm good, stomach. But apparently there's
been some clearing of the head on Stephen A. Smith
because the story speeded that you gave us he did acknowledge.
This is Stephen A Smith that wasn't a basketball player

(01:04:15):
confronting me. That was a parent, that was a father.
And I can't sit here and be angry and feel
slighted by Lebron James in that regard. By all accounts,
he's obviously a wonderful family man and father who cares
very very deeply about his son. And based on some
of the comments he had heard or shall I say,
I think he thought he heard clearly, he took exception

(01:04:37):
to some of the things he heard me say, and
he confronted me about it. So he is acknowledging I'm
not being confronted by basketball. I'm being confronted by an
angry father that thought I stepped into the father so
relationship and he took issue with that. He's not taking
taken them out now. I don't know if I could
have reached his face to hit him in the face,

(01:04:58):
step with out of steps though you you're you're a
good commentator, You're pretty good at walking out points. I
don't have to sign a huge contract. You signed a
huge contract, Good for you, but I don't. I don't
think you need to be physically fighting people.

Speaker 3 (01:05:12):
Somebody said Lebron would have just flopped.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
That's good.

Speaker 3 (01:05:19):
Yeah, so that's a big man though, right, oh big man.

Speaker 4 (01:05:22):
It wouldn't be even, it wouldn't be funny. And we
were sad.

Speaker 3 (01:05:26):
Well, it's not every time. But when we bring up
Lebron people talk about the football player.

Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
He was, Yeah, could you imagine him? Well, and I
do think, I do think here stephen A. Smith has
a right to say what he wants to say and
have an opinion, but sometimes we forget Lebron. James the
father has a right to confront stephen A Smith and
tell him how he feels about it. Yeah, sure, so
it works both ways.

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
Don't put your hands on him.

Speaker 1 (01:05:52):
No, he's an assassin, Steven. I know you were mad,
just inim, but don't don't be stupid. You're smarter than that. Yeah.
I just saw you trying to do a boxing workout
and throw combinations. Don't don't do that. No, there's a
reason you're a journalist, right, Combinations is a stretch.

Speaker 9 (01:06:07):
Bottom of the hours is the Rick Burgers show.

Speaker 1 (01:06:15):
Here we go, thanks for being with us today. The
gang all here, Speedy, Greg and Adler. Speaking of Speedy,
speaking of speed, as as we are coming back, he
is putting on at the official fire suit as if
he's gonna drive the monster truck zombie. But probably the

(01:06:36):
guy that's better trained to do that is with us.
Barr Moose Hour, Bari, Welcome to the Rick Burger Show.

Speaker 8 (01:06:42):
Thank you guys for having me. Good morning, this is great.

Speaker 1 (01:06:45):
Yeah. So how to handle the name?

Speaker 8 (01:06:47):
It's perfect, man, it's amazing. I mean I've gotten that
all my life? Did I get your name right? And
it's like I have a name for when I go
through the Chick fil A drive to and I just
say Brian because they're not gonna to get her. They're
gonna get it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
But you yes, okay, good, thank you man. So that
is yeah, you don't have a I bet if anybody
comes and says, now, look, I'm a move saw, you
think we're ken I get most of the time. Probably,
so yeah, probably.

Speaker 8 (01:07:12):
I mean there ain't too many of us, you know,
floating around there, so I would say we probably would
be family.

Speaker 1 (01:07:18):
All right. So here here here's Speedy. You've brought him.
So this is a fire suit, just one that like
you wear when you when you drive.

Speaker 8 (01:07:26):
Yeah, this is the same one that I wear. I
have a newer one than that, but I figured with
a name like speedy, I had to step my game
up and really bring something to represent. And this is perfect.
He fits it perfectly. It's just the stars are aligning
this morning, ready to go?

Speaker 1 (01:07:39):
Doesn't he look speedy? If you are watching on YouTube
you can see it. We'll do pictures and put him
out on social media. I mean, there he is. He
is dressed, ready to climb aboard zombie.

Speaker 8 (01:07:51):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
So I have to ask you this, Bary, So, how
does a person grow up saying one day I'm going
to drive a monster truck. What's the path to being
a monster truck driver?

Speaker 8 (01:08:05):
Yeah? I got a unique path. I grew up in
the city. I'm from Cleveland, Ohio originally, and we wound
up in Detroit, Michigan for a little while my job.
My mom got a job there, so she took me
to the Pontiac Silver Dome when I was six years
old in Detroit, Michigan, and I fell in love with
the sport. I mean, just imagine being a six year

(01:08:26):
old kid and seeing these trucks. They're they're huge or
larger in life. They're loud, they're noisy, and field of power.
So that kind of stuck with me. And uh, it
just became my passion from then on, and I said, man,
I'm going to do that one day. And I didn't
know how I was going to get there because we
didn't grow up in the you know, the farmland or
rural areas or anything like that. We didn't have anything

(01:08:48):
that was even remotely had you ever.

Speaker 1 (01:08:50):
Even been mudding? Never, never if somebody said let's go
mudd and you wouldn't have known what they were talking about,
Like what, I gotta take a bath? What are you
talking about? Right?

Speaker 8 (01:08:59):
Yeah, you know. So it was something that was just
special to me that I connected with, and I was
just so thankful that my mom took me because she
knew I had a kind of a love affair with
you know, anything with four wheels.

Speaker 3 (01:09:12):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:09:12):
I used to play with, you know, toys in that
had four wheels or anything, you know, planes, trains, automobiles,
that kind of thing. So it was just pretty cool
that that show came around when I was able to go,
and from then I got involved with radio controlled cars.
I think I got a hobby grade radio controlled at

(01:09:32):
probably like age eleven, which is a little bit different
from you know, the ones you can buy from the
normal store, the ones that you get from you know,
the toy store, they just if you break them, that's it,
you know. But the hobby grade ones you can actually upgrade,
you can fix them. You can add spare parts that
are sold in hobby shops to be able to you know,
fix them, and then you can upgrade them, make them

(01:09:54):
faster or tougher. And so that was really cool. I
really loved that. And actually that got me is what
got me noticed. I did the an RC race at
the home of Gravedigger back in two thousand and six,
and one of the Monster Jam officials just happened to
be there because at the time that was kind of
where they maintained a lot of the Monster Jam trucks,

(01:10:15):
and he said, Man, if you can drive RC that good, you.

Speaker 1 (01:10:17):
Could probably drive the real deal. What you thought, So
that's like these times we're living in. You know, there's
actually there's drivers right now that are on the circuit.
When Greg was that open Wheel where these guys did
video games and they thought they were so good on
the video games, yeah, they thought they might be able
to drive.

Speaker 8 (01:10:32):
Yeah, there's even like a movie about it, right.

Speaker 1 (01:10:33):
So this was similar. But Monster Truck version right, Yeah,
not a video game, but a remote controlled monster truck. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:10:40):
Yeah, And you know it was pretty cool that. You know,
Bill Easterly, he was the guy that he's a senior
director of Monster Jam still to this day. So he
said that, you know, you got the manual dexterity and
the hand eye coordination. So it's that's what it takes
to drive one of these trucks. You just have to
apply it, you know, to actually, you know, I'm driving
the twelve thousand pound truck versus a twelve pound RC

(01:11:03):
truck in it and I'm in it, you know, so
you got to feel what the truck is given you
and you have to kind of adapt and it takes
a while. There's definitely a learning curve there, but the
laws of physics still apply. So I took to it
pretty quick and I was Rookie of the Year two
thousand and eleven.

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
Or don't you do it? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:11:23):
I mean it takes a practice, but it And I
want to say it didn't happen for me overnight. I
didn't get chosen, you know, I got added to a
test session literally a week after being discovered by Bill,
and I was like okay. At the time, I was
working at a sign company. I got a degree in
graphic design, and so I had already asked for the

(01:11:44):
time off to go do the RC race. And then
I come back and I said, hey, guys, I'm going
back up to where I just was the driver a
full sized monster truck. And they're like, what, I didn't
even that quit ask them for the time off.

Speaker 1 (01:11:55):
I just told them everything changes now. So when you say,
all right, here comes my first time to get do
they put you in a I mean a rigged out
monster truck. You don't ease in like go, let's put
you in the lift kid. See how you do? No,
I mean you go right into a monster truck.

Speaker 8 (01:12:10):
It was a full on, one hundred percent competition truck.
It just didn't have the body on. So the bodies
are like fiberglass shells. They could be taken off, and
then you've got the you know, the meat and potatoes underneath.

Speaker 1 (01:12:21):
You leave remote into the driver's seat. Yep, Wow, what
was that? How did it feel?

Speaker 8 (01:12:27):
You know, it's crazy because I've driven at the time,
I had driven these trucks a thousand times in my mind,
and of course you can only do that based on
what you see from the outside, but it's a whole
different animal when you're on inside, you know, and you've
got fifteen hundred horsepower underneath your right foot and it's
twelve pounds, and the tires are huge, and your your
range of you know, visibility is hindered because of things

(01:12:50):
so big.

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
So you think you're really high. I mean you can't.

Speaker 8 (01:12:53):
Yeah, you think you're setting the world on fire.

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:12:56):
Inside there the engines loud and it's roaring, and you know,
you look at the VD you're like, oh, that's all
I did. Yeah, I felt like I was really doing something.
But you know, it's pretty cool that, you know, you
can make that correlation. And I was in a nervous wreck,
of course, but man, I was out there. I was like,
you know, I'm living a childhood dreams, you know, And

(01:13:17):
I felt like I did great, and they did too.
They I think they were shocked because they never really
auditioned anybody that didn't have motorsports experience, you know, prior
experience and something a high performance. And so when I
did what I did, they were just like, Okay, well
we don't have a truck for you yet, but uh,
it's coming. Yeah, it's coming. And it took four years.
So I mean I hung around and I was still

(01:13:38):
a fan, and you know, people knew who I was
and a lot of people wanted to see me behind
the wheel, and eventually I got their call, you know,
and h took four years.

Speaker 1 (01:13:48):
All right, So let me that's my next question. Great
job of putting that out, by the way, what a story.
So how do you how does it work? Like we know,
Grave Digger has been branded forever so that trucks had
different drivers, but Grave Digger is it? Was this the
same thing with Zombie or did you help come up
with that theme or did they say, hey, we got
the truck for you. Do you go develop your own?

(01:14:12):
How does it work?

Speaker 8 (01:14:13):
So I didn't start out with Zombie. I was Rookie
of the Year in twenty eleven and I was driving
El Toro Loco, which is another podcast.

Speaker 3 (01:14:20):
Yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:14:23):
Look at that right on the time. Yeah, so good.

Speaker 8 (01:14:27):
And then in twenty twelve I went and drove a
spider Man for from twenty twelve to twenty fourteen. So
Manza Jam just assigned you the truck. They want to
ask my question?

Speaker 1 (01:14:37):
They belonged to them and they developed the different themes,
and then they put driver with themed truck, right, and
so you went from El Toro to Spider Man to
Zombie to Zombie. So is that considered moving? Are they
all pretty equal?

Speaker 8 (01:14:52):
They're pretty equal. Underneath the bodies, they're all pretty much
the same. It's just the identity of you know, zombie
with the zombie arms, the face and sure, you know
it's all a package deal. But the unique thing about
Zombie is it was voted into existence by the Monster
Jam fans. So Monster Jam held a webpole on their
website back in twenty twelve, I want to say, and

(01:15:14):
I wasn't the first driver for Zombie, so they held
a webpole and Zombie was a top vote getter. I think.
You know, Walking Dead was like a huge show back the.

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
Yeah, so Zombie crazed in our country for a while.

Speaker 8 (01:15:28):
Yes, So it just kind of resonated with the fans
in day one. And when they asked me to drive it,
I was like, okay, well I'm a fan too, so
let's do this, you know, and now we have the
zombie arms on the truck, and man, the fans do
the zombie arm wave.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
Oh yeah, we read your act to me introduce you.
That was cool. Yeah, what a cool thing for him.
Get to do.

Speaker 3 (01:15:48):
Yes, as a fellow driver, I know what it's like
in the truck, but do the arms because sometimes I
see the way you hit and everything. The arms can
can flare and then break or whatever. Do they ever
mess with your eyesight or your lot of vision?

Speaker 8 (01:16:07):
I guess they can, you know, definitely, like if I've
rolled over and they get bent and then it's kind
of arm hanging out. Yeah, you got an arm. Sometimes
it does the dab on you. It really just depends
on how you crash. But if I don't crash, they
stay pretty much out of my way. And that's a
question that everybody always asks because they're sticking out pretty far.

(01:16:27):
But you don't really look at them while you're racing.
I mean I don't even really pay attention to them.
Sometimes if I crash, I don't even know one's missing.
You know, it's like, oh, after the fact that, oh,
where'd my arm go? You know. Yeah, they're pretty strong
these days to where they're pretty rigid, and they don't
they don't move as much as they used to. They
used to flail all over the place, and people loved
when I used to lose arms. You know anything about

(01:16:48):
the partners?

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
All right, we want to come back. We got more questions.
Do you want to go see Monster Jam? Well you
can catch all the dates they're a ticketmaster. But Birmingham, Birmingham,
it's Saturday. It's going to be a Protective Stadium. It's
going to start at five pm local time. The pit
party is open from twelve thirty pm to three thirty pm.

(01:17:11):
Get your tickets now by going to ticket Master and
then get ready for a great weekend.

Speaker 9 (01:17:16):

Speaker 1 (01:17:24):
So we're hanging out. We're Monster Jam right now and
we're having a blast. Don't forget monster Jam dot Com
a great resource for you too, as the Monster Jam
series is coming through Birmingham, Alabama, but it's also all
over the country and find those updates ticket Masters where
you get tickets. And for Birmingham, it'll be Saturday at

(01:17:45):
Protective Stadium, starts at five pm. As far as competition
indoors by the way, because there may be some scattered stuff,
but the Ladies forecast for Birmingham on Saturday actually looking
a lot better, so that's great. It's most Morbid's going
into Sunday Monday. But anyway, the pit party is indoors
twelve thirty to three point thirty, and of course the
event starting at five. And we're talking to Bari Moossaur,

(01:18:10):
who is driving the zombie. He's really you really gave
us some great background on how you made your way there.
Now we need to understand a little bit about the scoring,
cause if you've ever been Now somebody is asking off
the text, is outside as loud as inside?

Speaker 8 (01:18:25):
I would say, no, no, it's not.

Speaker 1 (01:18:27):
Yeah, no, no, it's a boy. I remember those inside
when you guys do and you said that actually takes
a lot of skill to do the indoor because it's
a smaller surface. But boy, is it loud in there.

Speaker 8 (01:18:38):
Yeah, it's loud. And the truck's having mufflers on them
in modern day monster jam, but they're still making a
lot of horsepower, so they're still pretty loud. But you
come outside to protect a stadium after the pit party,
which is inside. That's pretty cool to be able to
see the difference in the settings. And I love it
because last year I did this event and we did
the pit party outside and it was hot and it

(01:18:58):
was on a gravel parking lot. But that's when their
true fans really come out, because they want to meet
you and see the trucks up close in personal guitarographed.

Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
Yeah, you can do that.

Speaker 2 (01:19:07):
Can I ask a quick question?

Speaker 8 (01:19:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:19:08):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (01:19:09):
What is okay?

Speaker 6 (01:19:10):
So, the one of the innovations that have happened recently,
I don't know, maybe ten years ago was that the
rear axle turns in addition to the front axle. How
similar to a normal vehicle? Are these things inside? Are
there two steering wheels for both axles or is it
just like a normal car with one steering wheel?

Speaker 4 (01:19:28):
How does that work?

Speaker 8 (01:19:28):
Yeah, that's a great question. So we have a normal
conventional steering wheel in the center. We actually sit in
the center of these trucks.

Speaker 4 (01:19:34):
Oh yeah McLaren.

Speaker 8 (01:19:37):
Yeah, it's just for better visibility. And you know, you
can see you're already hindered a little bit with your
vision and these things, but you can see a whole
lot better in the middle than you can on the
right or the left. So, and then we have a
toggle switch that we reoperate the rear steering independently with
the front steering. So it's a toggle switch that returns
to center on its own, So you kind of We

(01:19:58):
have a toggle switch is mounted on a joystick kind
of post. So you're you're driving with your left hand
and you with the steering wheel and you're operating the
shifter and the steering toggle switch with your right hand.
Now there's a lot of coordination going on.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
You know, all monster truck drivers can play drums.

Speaker 4 (01:20:18):
And fly airplanes and fly my goodness.

Speaker 1 (01:20:21):
Also, one of the lineup coming up is an outstanding lineup.
You know, Zombie is going to be there. Also, there's
going to be a debut of the Classroom Crusher. Yes,
so this is a new one.

Speaker 8 (01:20:30):
This is a new one for twenty twenty five. My
buddy Camden Murphy, he's a great, great monster jam driver,
one of the best in the business. And uh he's
debuting the Classroom Crusher this season and he's in third place.
Might I add in points, I'm in first.

Speaker 1 (01:20:45):
He guess who's up front?

Speaker 3 (01:20:48):
Yeah, Moose sours up front?

Speaker 1 (01:20:50):
Zombie, Yeah Zombie. So tell us about the scoring. So
this is important because this weekend, you guys are all moving,
it's almost like the playoffs are going on. And tell
us what's happened and how the scoring takes place.

Speaker 8 (01:21:02):
So there's three events. During a typical Monster Jam event,
we've got racing, which we open the event with racing.
That's a bracket, so that doesn't really involve fans scoring.
But when we move on to the skills and the freestyle,
that's when the fans get to be engaged.

Speaker 1 (01:21:16):
They're voting.

Speaker 8 (01:21:17):
Now, they're voting they you know, one truck at a time.
They want to see who does the best stunt in
the skills competition, which is pretty technical. I mean when
you talk about ballots in one of these trucks on
the front two tires or even in a bicycle, you know,
this is twelve pounds that you have to feel the
ballot point on. And it's pretty amazing. You know, the
fact that these trucks are so nimble being that heavy

(01:21:40):
and they move quick. Their acceleration is just incredible. You know,
they got a lot of throttle response, so to be
able to control all that and slow your heart rate down,
slow your adrenaline down to figure, Okay, I need to
balance this truck. But it's going to take some finesse.
It's not going to take pure raw horsepower. So it's
pretty amazing at this day and age on what all

(01:22:00):
these drivers can do. And Uh. Then when we get
to freestyle, which is everybody's favorite. You know, the fans
get to vote on that on their phone at judgesone
dot com a sliding scale from zero to ten and
you get to pick and by the end of your run,
it got twenty seconds to vote on your run, and
whoever connects with the fans or has that amazing wow
factor in their freestyle usually gets a pretty good score.

(01:22:23):
I would say two things. You gotta have that wild
fake factor. You got to throw at a backflip because everybody.

Speaker 3 (01:22:30):
While on a willie at the base of the ramp
and then and then and then like trying to balance yourself,
then going up on two and then flipping that. I
know you said there's a monster truck uh university or something.

Speaker 8 (01:22:43):
Monster Jam University. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:22:45):
Is that where you learn all that skill or is
it just something that you're gifted with and you just
know how to do it? I mean, how in the
world do you practice that?

Speaker 8 (01:22:52):
Yeah, it's pretty amazing. So Monster Jam University has evolved
even since when I first started, there was no Monster
Jam University and now it has a sponsor, you know,
which is we call it Monster Jam University powered by
U n O H, which is like, uh, the technical
school that a lot of our technicians go to to
actually become Monster Jam technicians. So it's kind of all

(01:23:15):
comes full circle when it comes to Monster Jam University
because we get to go there, hone in on our
skills and they teach you how to literally maneuver these
trucks in a fashion that they want you to do
in the actual events. So you have to graduate from
Monster Jam University before you can even be considered to
be on a tour.

Speaker 1 (01:23:33):
So you actually since it wasn't available, the one you
went to was called hey watch you, let me see.

Speaker 8 (01:23:41):
Let we'll get to spin the wheel on the wheel.

Speaker 1 (01:23:45):
All right, So we're gonna we're gonna come back and
we're gonna we Actually you have brought some what's remote controls.

Speaker 8 (01:23:51):
My roots, man forget where you come from, so.

Speaker 1 (01:23:54):
We'll do that. If you want to find out everything
about this weekend in Birmingham, you go to ticket Master
or go to Monster Dream Monsterjam dot com. But also
there's a lot of markets in play too that are
part of what's going on with the latest tour, So
find a location near you if you can't get to
Birmingham this weekend. But also we want you to know
that you can go there and see the lineup and

(01:24:14):
of course it's a it's an impressive lineup. Grave Digger

So we'll come back, we'll come back, and we're gonna
we're gonna play with these cars. Speedy, if you're just
joining us, Uh, it looks like that Princess Leah is
actually put on a racing suit because the ear muffs,

(01:25:02):
it looks like Princess Leah from Star Wars on Speedy's
bald head, which at top of the hour, we'll be back,
stay with us.

Speaker 9 (01:25:11):

Speaker 1 (01:25:18):
Here we go. We're back. Speedy Adler, Greg All here.
Also joining us today Barry Moose Sour, he drives Zombie
and the Monster Truck series. We have had a blast.
It's rolling across the country Birmingham. You're this Saturday. It
is a rain or shine event. We do think the

(01:25:39):
forecast has turned out great. If you get a little rain,
the MUD's even better. Only thing that would obviously cause
delays would be lightning or something like that, but rain
won't affect it. So just letting you know that. So
now we have the remote control versions. I do want
to mention something cool that's going on as well, involving
the weekend, the one in Irmingham that'll be coming up

(01:26:01):
on Friday, when the Boys and Girls Club kids get
an opportunity to have their private meet and greet and
capture video and photos, you know with the drivers with
the trucks watching practice on their own. So obviously if
you'd like to be there to cover that, the media
is invited to be there. Kind of a cool thing

(01:26:21):
is the ag Garrison Boys and Girls Club kids will
have their own private opportunity for a meet and greet
and watch some practice and see some of the vehicles
coming up on Friday. All right, so we have the
we've set up guys Adler, Speedy and Bari. They have
set up a little mini Monster trucks set up. We've

(01:26:45):
got the remote control Monster Trucks. There's ramp. So Speedy
still in his fire suit, so he's ready to go.
So Bori, what do you think? Not a bad setup
and not a bad setup.

Speaker 8 (01:26:57):
Anytime you get to jump over your us some carpet
face here, it's really a good morning.

Speaker 1 (01:27:03):
Yeah, perfect, Yeah, So Adler, are you driving one too?
Adler's driving yep, uh and uh so oh he's moving
one of the basketballs. And we've watched some of the jumping.
It looks like Adler is engravedigger, right and yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:27:21):
We hit the this uh transition right here, and it
made the truck do a backflip. See if we can
do it?

Speaker 1 (01:27:26):
Okay, all right, so you're doing they're doing backflips. We
do remote control.

Speaker 3 (01:27:31):
So here's the challenge. Go to the base of the ramp,
do a black backflip and then and then jump.

Speaker 1 (01:27:36):
Do you think that's possible. We're watching the remote control
Zombie he's going to do a backflip and then jump
the ramp. Uh, those you are watching can see this.
Whoa barry crashed, But everybody loved it. It did work out,
It did work out. And that that that really that

(01:27:57):
is great fast, so hard, so so adlers all in
now yourself, these little ramps and everything there it is.
We also have a little dock cast many monster trucks.
Uh that Bari and monster gum. This is from El
Toro Loco there all right, all right, out of control,

(01:28:21):
he's out of control. You got the grave digger. Get
up there, jump the ramp, get up there, get up there.
There we go. All right, here we go.

Speaker 3 (01:28:30):
Now he's going, he went on. They're going to hire you,
and m JU. What do they teach you? I mean,
like like fan interacts, they do. They run the gamut
of everything.

Speaker 8 (01:28:44):
Absolutely. First we do non motorized training, so you got
to learn, which I teach people on the simulator. And
then you gotta do safety training. They strap you into
one of these trucks as tight as we get when
we're actually competing to see if people can even deal
with that part. Some people get lost.

Speaker 1 (01:29:00):
You that's it.

Speaker 8 (01:29:02):
And then uh, you've got to do interview training, so
there's a media training involved. And then if you make
it past that part, then you go to the motorized
training and that's when you get behind the wheel and
you get to really see what you can do. And
you got to graduate before you can even set foot
at the stadium, like protective stadium, you.

Speaker 1 (01:29:20):
Know, so that that look at this now now across
the counter. Oh, here he goes. He's getting he's getting
the remote control car. Now nothing, you're out of control.

Speaker 3 (01:29:31):
There's nothing bar he can't do.

Speaker 1 (01:29:32):
Let Bari do it. He's the one who knows what
he's doing. All right, all right, roots before he started.
It's a little slick up here, it is. Yeah, we've
got that little Oh look at that he's burning out
the car. Look look at the little zombies riding around.

Speaker 14 (01:29:47):
Run off here, Yes, driving off the count No, yes,

I gave the entire school these trucks, and so the
teacher's made the kids write me thank you letters. And
I have a stack of thank you letters from these kids.
So it's definitely cool.

Speaker 1 (01:31:09):
Two things are going on now. Speed he's forgotten. He's
in a full fire suit, and Adler has forgotten he
works at all. He's playing with Let me tell you

Speaker 3 (01:34:12):
It was funny because they brought it and I was like, well,
we'll try it, you know, but I didn't want to.
I didn't want to put it on like I wanted
to put it on over the clothes because he cleaned
it and and I'm like.

Speaker 1 (01:34:21):
Speedy ended up going commando to go.

Speaker 3 (01:34:27):
Now I got I got Uncle Greg to video me
hanging out with the suit like I was cool for
for for a little river.

Speaker 1 (01:34:36):
You think your grandson's going to like kidding me?

Speaker 3 (01:34:38):
Uh huh uh. He's gonna have another play day with us.
We took him to the park yesterday and Terry Lynn
had to chase baseballs all over.

Speaker 1 (01:34:45):
As your shin. I got hit a couple of times,
you sure did.

Speaker 3 (01:34:48):
I got hit a couple of times. We we had
a combination between some some some baseballs that that weren't
you know, the hards like real ones versus the ones
that are coach pitch t ball that are just a
little bit soft for working on fly balls and stuff.
So he don't get popp in the gym and uh
and you can use tennis balls and other stuff, but

(01:35:09):
he likes the feel of the real winner. Uh yeah, sure,
rag balls or something like that. But yeah, we went
to the ballpark. He could not wait to get to
the ballpark yesterday and I was throwing and he was hitting,
and he would literally scream, get it, Terry Lynn and
Terry running.

Speaker 1 (01:35:25):
All do you think you've taken away?

Speaker 3 (01:35:30):
I emailed you the video if you want to hear I.

Speaker 1 (01:35:32):
Want to hear this, or just when you get it listen.
But wait a minute, wait have you thought about because
this first thing that my wife brought up when I
told her about it and we had a laugh about it.
Yesterday we started discussing, is it possible that you have
ruined Terry? You know, women love to pick their grandmother name.
And she had a good one, nan And have you
now ruined that? Well?

Speaker 3 (01:35:51):
Now this was all him because I wouldn't have been
at home. She just sent me in and said, hey,
I heard your f YI. He's now calling me Terry
Lynn because pop does and he thinks it sounds beautiful.

Speaker 1 (01:36:01):
And he thinks it sounds beautiful. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:36:03):
His stance is amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:36:04):
Stances and crowds, stance round.

Speaker 1 (01:36:07):
Goodness, his grandson river.

Speaker 3 (01:36:09):
It's been coached, all right. So so here he is.

Speaker 1 (01:36:11):
I'm just taking your back back. Yeah. Yeah, wow that hurt.

Speaker 3 (01:36:15):
H Yeah I did see. Of course she's laughing, so
she's laughing. Now listen to this. Listen super fast.

Speaker 2 (01:36:26):
She had a run where we're going.

Speaker 3 (01:36:27):
We guy, you're safe.

Speaker 15 (01:36:29):
Come on.

Speaker 3 (01:36:34):
That little ponytail runs fine as fire running around.

Speaker 1 (01:36:38):
Sure, I'm sorry. Wow. Right, but how's this base running?

Speaker 3 (01:36:44):
It's good, it's fine. Those were long bases. They're not
you know, the big boy bass.

Speaker 1 (01:36:50):
It's trying to get them to run through the back.

Speaker 3 (01:36:52):
It's tough.

Speaker 1 (01:36:53):
Stance looks great, he's got his back back. Yeah, he's
hitting with power. He's good.

Speaker 3 (01:36:57):
So we went up to uh a little ballpark working.
Helena called Joe Tucker and beautiful is that there's a
lake pond, i should say, and people fishing, And it
was just a great day besides fighting through the paul
and trying to actually find a p you know, but
it was it was a good as it was a great.

Speaker 1 (01:37:15):
At so much polling where we are.

Speaker 3 (01:37:17):
Uh yeah, so hit me hard. I thought he was.
Thought it was funny too.

Speaker 1 (01:37:21):
I want to I want to super fast. I want
to ask this question, did you ever document yesterday? It's
a fair question as we studied this, did your grandson
ever call Terry Nan? The entire day we heard it

(01:37:44):
Terry Lee and just then do you ever you call
him ever saying now Nan, I have this or now
I don't think so. See that's what I'm worried about.
He's transitioning. He's transitioning. And you look, Greg, you've been
through it, and I mean, you know, Sherry's already waiting
trying to pick what we're gonna you know now instead
of there was a time when kids would end up
giving you the name, and then everybody started getting uncomfortable,

(01:38:06):
Like people ended up with names like God, God and
things like that because the kids just say something you know,
off off the wall one day. People like to go
and say, this is what I want my grandkids to
call me. And you worked on that and you got
down to Nan, which is a great one and Pops.
And it's possible that you calling her Terry Lynn in
front of him, and now he thinks it's beautiful and

(01:38:28):
it's what Pop's calls you that she may have a
hard time getting Nan back.

Speaker 8 (01:38:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:38:32):
He came up with a song called River and Pops
that he throws sick.

Speaker 1 (01:38:36):
Them in there.

Speaker 3 (01:38:36):
I don't know why. It's like River and Pops. And
so I started singing that and he I do remember
one time we were in the car, he goes, don't
forget Nan.

Speaker 1 (01:38:46):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:38:47):
It was quick.

Speaker 1 (01:38:53):
Even uh. And that was when I was a little
little kid. I was really didn't like anything to do
with monsters anything, what's greg. Didn't like it, didn't like
anything to do with it. Don't like monsters. And so,
but then my parents, as we have all done, kept
reassuring me that all this was make believe, nothing to
be concerned about. These things don't exist. Bump in the night.

(01:39:15):
Don't let that get you shook up, little Rick Rick Okay,
didn't like it, and then of course I told the story.
We had die cast monster trucks here a minute ago,
playing with the matchbox cars and hot wheels. Dad did
not know I was in an earshot. They're playing cards
in the kitchen, Mom and Dad and other couples. The
movie The Exorcists had just come out, and I'm playing.

(01:39:39):
I'd seen the preview a little brief part of it
on TV by accident before I fled the shag carpet
den with the wood paneling, of course, and I heard
my dad say as he was I think the dealer.
On that hand, I'll tell you what, boss you about
that movie? Something like that could really happen. I was like, what,

(01:40:01):
normally that ain't real? What and so you remember that? Well?
Similar here, not spiritual warfare, but true danger. Danger. Babysitter
discovered a man hiding under a child's bed. Uh and
the child kept complaining that there was a monster under
the bed, to be told no, there's not, Oh yes

(01:40:21):
there is.

Speaker 3 (01:40:23):
UH, so picture this, you're the major, And the babysitter said.
I went into the room and I said, you know what,
to calm them down, I'm going to look under the
bed in the let go clear the bed for you,
and she came eye to eye with an intruder, a
man under the bell. She gets knocked over, the child
gets knocked over, he flees the home, ends up being captured.

Speaker 1 (01:40:47):
But the next day, Yeah, they got to go a
whole other day. Yes, did she know who he was?
I mean twenty seven twenty seven year old man has
been booked on suspicion of aggravated kid. They thought he
might be after the kid. That's so sad.

Speaker 2 (01:41:06):
Okay kill him.

Speaker 1 (01:41:07):
Aggravated burglary, aggravated battery, child endangerment, fell in, the obstruction
of a law enforcement officer, and violation of a protection
from an abuse order. Mm hmm. Being held on half
a million dollars on bond. My goodness. Wow, that is
creep city. And think about this too. You're you're a babysitter. Yeah,

(01:41:32):
and and when you look under there and see that
fall right, look two eyes looking back, let me clear
the area. Wow.

Speaker 8 (01:41:41):
Mm.

Speaker 6 (01:41:43):
Martin Villa Lobos, who was under the bed is winner
of the year a quote dumb and number.

Speaker 2 (01:41:51):
Okay kill him?

Speaker 1 (01:41:53):
Yeah yeah that wow.

Speaker 3 (01:41:56):
Who was more scared than the child or the babysitter
when she looked under there and saw another.

Speaker 8 (01:42:02):
Here goes a kid.

Speaker 3 (01:42:03):
You know, you just go to sleep.

Speaker 1 (01:42:06):
Good, point, Greg, There's no way this baby should have
thought they were going to see anything. We all hear this,
Do y'all do y'all still get just a little bit.
I'm not crazy about looking under the bed. I don't
just a little avoid it. I'm not crazy about it
from any rate. I like, if I dropped something, I'll
see it bounce on the bed. I'm like, well, that's.

Speaker 4 (01:42:25):
Gone, It's gone forever.

Speaker 1 (01:42:27):
I really want that worse, Like it's dark and I
can't see good and I start just throwing my hand
around there trying to find something. I'm always convinced, you know,
and and for me it could be something as simple.
Is there some rat or something? I don't a rat
under the bed? You never know.

Speaker 4 (01:42:40):
I am glad.

Speaker 6 (01:42:41):
I'm glad I have a see through shower curtain.

Speaker 4 (01:42:44):
I'll just say that because I don't like being in there.
I can't see. I'm very vulnerable, naked.

Speaker 3 (01:42:49):
Severy like privacy in the shower.

Speaker 1 (01:42:53):
I like shower.

Speaker 2 (01:42:54):
I like the fact that I can see. I have
a glass door.

Speaker 4 (01:42:57):
It's a glass too.

Speaker 1 (01:42:58):
I like seeing who's coming in that bathroom.

Speaker 4 (01:43:00):
Don't like a clear one. I don't like one I
can't see.

Speaker 3 (01:43:03):
Yeah, you've had cold water thrown over the shower to
you when I was a child.

Speaker 4 (01:43:06):
Yeah, you're breaking. You feel like it's breaking. You don't.

Speaker 1 (01:43:12):
You don't you think the movie Psycho is the reason
that none of us there. I don't like to know
they're about to pull some curtain back and and and
and start that knife.

Speaker 3 (01:43:21):
So let me get this right in your own home.
In the shower, you do y'all want to see, You'll
want to see out into.

Speaker 2 (01:43:27):
The west into the bathroom expect.

Speaker 3 (01:43:30):
Yeah, but it's coming in.

Speaker 4 (01:43:31):
Yeah, exactly, exactly, great question that that is the question.

Speaker 1 (01:43:35):
Locked the door in your house? Okay, some people can't
get in? No, hid like that guy? And can I
tell you this that? Or and I know you're with me?
You know when one of the points that you can
get yourself into sheer terror, you let your mind play games.
When you're closing your eyes washing your hair, I mean
you're closed off and anybody could be here.

Speaker 4 (01:43:53):
As long as I've got a clear, clear glass things.

Speaker 1 (01:43:56):
Even with your eyes.

Speaker 3 (01:43:56):
Okay, yeah, you can't see this other wise taking around?

Speaker 1 (01:44:03):
Have you ever be honest. Have you ever gotten soap
in your eye because you couldn't keep it closing longer?

Speaker 4 (01:44:07):
Yeah, I'm okay, I can go.

Speaker 1 (01:44:09):
What's wrong with y'all? Never know? You can't be sitting
there like that. People can get you. Is this when
you were a kid or now, I'm not crazy about
it now?

Speaker 2 (01:44:15):
Question?

Speaker 6 (01:44:16):
Have you guys ever had your child say to you
like can this example? The kid was like, there's a
monster on the bed and you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Have you ever had your kids complaining about something for
a while and then you realized they were right about something?
Anything like that?

Speaker 1 (01:44:30):
Yes, what was it?

Speaker 4 (01:44:32):
You don't mind me saying.

Speaker 3 (01:44:32):
Greg got no one on you what I do? Hitting Taylor?
He couldn't hit the baseball, and he kept saying he
couldn't see, and and you were like, you're fine, and
then y'all go get his eyes. Yet you actually need.

Speaker 1 (01:44:43):
A glass ball. In the time, I even overruded the
nurse at school when I said, your your hand's not broke.
You're fine, go back to class.

Speaker 8 (01:44:52):
Come find his hands, bro.

Speaker 3 (01:44:54):
Yes, yes, that's great.

Speaker 1 (01:44:58):
Yeah, yeah, Ruby's man in getting see I throw on
the baseball. If it was the matter with you hit the.

Speaker 2 (01:45:04):
Ball, I can't sing whatever.

Speaker 8 (01:45:07):
I thought.

Speaker 4 (01:45:07):
Ruby just didn't want to go to church one time,
you know whatever.

Speaker 8 (01:45:10):
She said.

Speaker 6 (01:45:11):
I feel bad, and you know, we're we're kind of
going through the motions of things, and I'm like, all right, well,
let me check your temperature.

Speaker 4 (01:45:16):
It was like one hundred and one.

Speaker 6 (01:45:17):
I'm like, okay, you don't feel good.

Speaker 4 (01:45:21):
Okay, so I've done some research and you don't feel good.

Speaker 1 (01:45:25):
Yeah, we we We've confirmed I do it all along.
I did. The kid at the table, one of the kids, dad,
I really don't like this. You haven't tried it. I'm
okay with you. You're not trying it and not liking it,
but you gotta try it that I don't think. So
I don't. I don't think I want this. Hey, go
ahead and get a bite of that and quit being ridiculous.

(01:45:46):
And the kid hacked. He took a bite of it
and hacked hacked all before. You know, he was so
glad when he did it was getting you back. Yeah,
and and and I was like, well, looking back, maybe
I should have been just let that go right, and yeah,
And then there's that that's not quite the same, the
failure to follow up that was probably my most glaring.

(01:46:06):
One was down at the farm. Look, I was catching fish. Okay,
the fish. The fish were on. You know, we got
to consider when they when they flip on. But if
you if you're like ten year old, walks up to you,
who has a buddy down at the farm playing and
ask you if we have any rope? Follow up that,
do we have any rope? Yeah, that's probably from rope

(01:46:27):
and to grouage. Sure, okay, and you find out why
they look for rope, find out what they're looking for it. Yeah,
And then they came back by dead. We don't have
any rope. I'm sorry, man, you don't have any rope.
I'm sorry you think you're saying else we can tie.
I don't know, man, you try to find something, Okay,
then fish you're on. And that was when all of
a sudden, I look up over the horizon and the

(01:46:48):
ones on the four wheeler and the other is in
a go kart that only had about three horsepower three
and a half. And this was their way to make
the go cart go faster, was they tied it to
the four whel or with an extension cord because apparently
we didn't have any rope.

Speaker 3 (01:47:04):
Uh uh and created and.

Speaker 1 (01:47:07):
And and for a glorious moment. It was so sweet.
It was such a good ride. But when we were
at the emergency room with the now broken arm because
because the goat carts not designed to go that fast,
and it got to a turn like that, and if
your buddy's on a four wheeler and you do, you
do crash, He'll just keep on pulling. You don't get
their frame of mind what they were trying. It was

(01:47:28):
a brilliant idea. It was a brilliant idea. It did
not quite work out. And even if you have a
roll bar, if your arm gets outside of it and
you roll sideways in the in the weight of the
vehicle lands on your arm, it'll snap. Something's gonna give
will And then there's the terrible, terrible follow up, What
were you doing? I don't I don't know. Did they not?
Did they ask you if they could do this kind

(01:47:49):
of did they specifically ask me if they could pull
the goat cart behind a four where they did not?
And then they did. You didn't have any conversation with
him about this, uh, about this specific thing they did?
And I did not. And then all of a sudden,
he's sitting there was on.

Speaker 15 (01:48:05):
We asked that if we had any rope, and I
was like, yeah, First of all, they're running your extension,
so that one, you know that that's not exactly the
same thing, but probably a follow up right there would
have been, what do y'all need wrote for?

Speaker 1 (01:48:22):
That's not a hard question, that's usually a pretty normal question.
We'll be back. But did I say the fish were
they had? Really? It was basically one you know, just
keep on casting, we'll be back. But then when we

(01:48:44):
start talking about things involving gender, where life begins, science
is over. It is then asked to leave the building.
So it is not up for debate that the way
that males and females are made. We've talked about this.
There is an athletic advantage to a biological male in

(01:49:04):
general over biological females, so much so an average athlete
male can dominate female sports with elite female athletes. We
know this. This is not even up for debate, okay,
But when the Democrats don't get their way on something
and somebody actually starts protecting women's athletics, which, by the way,

(01:49:27):
that was supposed to be I thought y'all were the
title nine people. Y'all were the protect women's rights people,
or at least you tried to gain high ground there.
But now because this is they're starting to get their
little hand slapped and say no, no, no, we can't
have trans women who are biological males competing against biological females.

(01:49:48):
They're now just doing what they'll do if you push
them too far in the corner. They'll just declare that
what you're saying just isn't so, no matter how much proof,
no matter how obvious it is. So now we have
a Democrat lawmaker suggesting females athletically are equal to males,
and that's why they continue to vote to keep trans
athletes in girls' sports. This is State Senator Lindsey Williams

(01:50:13):
out of Pennsylvania. I want you to hear this. This
is the fallback position of the far left. They'll just
almost like a kid, to say that's not so, that's
not so, no matter how true it is, if it
does not fit their narrative. So here we go.

Speaker 8 (01:50:29):
We want all.

Speaker 16 (01:50:30):
Girls to know that there are elected officials like me
who believe female bodies are just as strong as a
fast and capable as male bodies. Because Notably, this bill
only seeks to ban trans girls from playing sports, not
trans boys. I want all girls to know that there
are elected officials like me who would never underestimate your

(01:50:53):
ability to beat a boy at their own sport, because
that's what the premise of this bill assumes. That female
bodies are less than male bodies, that girls are at
a quote automatic disadvantage and can't possibly compete against boys,
even though girls do it every day.

Speaker 1 (01:51:14):
Where's the example, she is, Ida, Yeah, I mean once
puberty hits, ma'am. You're right, at a certain stage of
child's life, but not after puberty. It's a muscle mass
deal that is just undeniable. Now, see what they try
to do is say if you believe that women are

(01:51:34):
to disadvantage athletically to size, strength and speed to a
biological male, they won't stay there. They will go to
say that you're saying something you're not saying is that
men and women are not of equal value. That is
not what anyone say. Of course, men and women are
of equal value, so much so that I consider women

(01:51:54):
to be of so much value that I think that
we have a complete caller in our lives as males
to protect women and to not treat them like men,
equal but beautifully distinct. And it is unfair to let
biological men come in and ruin women's sports. I would
say that people who have that point of view deem

(01:52:17):
women of more value than you do. Ma'am, you're just
playing a pretend game.

Speaker 6 (01:52:20):
Yeah, women are a protected class. Women's bodies are equal,
like you guys have said.

Speaker 1 (01:52:25):
But equal in value, of course. And there's things females
do that are remarkable. We're simply talking. Birthing is a
big one. But we're talking about athletics here. We're not
talking about work. We're not talking about you know, working
with wood shop. We're talking about running, jumping, punching, tackling,

(01:52:47):
hitting a ball towards you, throwing a ball at you, swimming.
You got to just look at that. We have an example.
This swimmer competed as a male and did the middle
of the pack at beth I meet it as a
female and dominated. Yeah you have an example.

Speaker 2 (01:53:02):
Yeah, Leah Thomas.

Speaker 6 (01:53:03):
And then in twenty seventeen, we had the women's national
team in soccer.

Speaker 4 (01:53:08):
Play the Dallas Boys U fifteen.

Speaker 6 (01:53:12):
In twenty seventeen, the women's national team played a U
fifteen boys team and lost the WNBA Champs in twenty seventeen.
Also played, Yeah, they also played and lost back in
twenty seventeen.

Speaker 2 (01:53:26):
It's crazy. Those are just facts.

Speaker 1 (01:53:28):
Yeah, it's not even men commit the.

Speaker 4 (01:53:31):
Most violent crimes. Okay, men are different.

Speaker 6 (01:53:34):
Men are different than women, and women and kids and
children need to be protected. That's all we're saying. We're
not saying there's a value difference at all.

Speaker 1 (01:53:45):
Yeah, And they try to always go down the value
road because that makes them sound like they have some
sort of high gram because they can't argue on what
we're actually talking about. Ye Hey, Rick, here from the
all new Vick Burgess Show. Speedy, Greg Adler and I
