(02:12):
Church in Birmingham, there'll be another Man Church kicking off.
Gil McKee speaking there. So just wanted to pass those
along to you for the weekend.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Enjoy that.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
So fellas, we got a lot to unpack. I know
that probably the biggest story as far as news is concerned,
is still the ongoing investigation about the horrible crash yesterday
involving American Airlines and a military helicopter.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
UH.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
And you know the we'll have some of it today
on our clips. The president was really pulling zero punches
yesterday afterward, and that shocking. Well, he had a press
conference and he seems to and maybe this will be confirmed.
It seems that others are agreeing he I mean, I

(03:00):
was aboud say read between the lines. I don't think
he even had to read between the lines. It's just
what he was saying is that he felt the error
will be discovered and confirmed from the air traffic controller,
and that he made clear yesterday he thinks that the
standard UH for air traffic controllers has been lowered.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
And he says this was the concern for doing that,
that this this if there's if there's a lot of
places as we heard you were, you've never heard people
say this. I've heard this joke before. If you're stepping
onto an airplane, do you want the pilot to be
a d I hire or do you want the pilot
to be the best in their industry, that that passed
the highest standards because people's lives are on the line.

(03:45):
And so yeah, now I'm not saying that that's what's
going to happen. I'm simply saying that's what I took
away from the press conference yesterday.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
That that's what he thinks happened. Uh.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
And now others are saying they also believe that to
be true too, as we continue to get information. So
I want any further than that, But that is that accurate?
That that's kind of where that's speculation right now.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Yeah, Yeah, I think it was a you know, one
one expert that I was listening to said, a lot
of people think it was just all it was just
one problem that caught No, he said that there's a
lot of problems that lead up to this, you know,
because we talked yesterday to super Time about the formative
pilot and you know, and this, that and the other.

(04:30):
But it's leading back to I believe one of the
air traffic controllers might have left the shift early because
it was a slow night or something of that nature,
which means that one air traffic controller was doing a
couple of what normally two people do and was, and
you know that may not have anything to do may not,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
But maybe a fact wouldn't you know, it didn't have
factor into the tragedy.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Right, I know, both black boxes have been recovered and
the audio from air tra the controllers being analyzed, and
they're saying what might have led to it is there
was a little bit of vagueness from the air traffic controller,
maybe could have been a little bit more detailed, which
added to the problem, not the only problem, but yes, Rick,
you're right, well, it sounds like a topic of conversation

(05:19):
that the experts are saying.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
If you missed the latter part of the show yesterday,
it's in the archive of Super Time. The engineer who
was also a pilot, he to me, gave the most
valuable information about the airport and how they land these
planes with the military maneuvers and training going on. And
I thought that was the most eye opening in what
I've done today, and we talked about before the show starts.

(05:43):
I think we're all comfortable with this. Is that what
Tom Totius yesterday, If you take that and you overlay
it with the air traffic controller, was you know, doing
a job that normally more than one do or just
was confusing, and they're instruction. If you look at what
Tom was telling us about Runway one versus being diverted

(06:04):
to Runway thirty three, that relationship with the military helicopters
that have that are always doing stuff on the Potomac.
If that wasn't communicated clearly to everybody involved, it's almost
like you take those two and put it together and
there's your problem. So we'll see if that solidifies itself.

(06:25):
But it sure it seems to be on that path.
So so anyway, we'll talk about that. And you hear
some of what the President said now he went on
the full blown.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
It was his point was valid.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
I mean, if you're going to worry about quotas and
you know and all that air traffic controller is not
the place to do that.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
You got to have the best of the best of
the best right there. Yeah, yeah, you do.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
And they were talking about the FAA and understaffing, which
most federal agencies are not understaffed, but they are. So
I think it's just like we talked about, this is
probably going to be one of the most investigated crashes
in the history of you know, aviation they're saying, and

(07:11):
it doesn't just stop with the pilots and all that
goes all the way through air traffic control and everything.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Well, I'm concerned. It's kind of what RFK Junior was
saying about the health of America physically that you know,
even our military has standards physically that one must meet,
and they're having a hard time finding people that can
meet that standard. I think air traffic controlled the standard
there is so high. The reason why we may hear

(07:39):
the term understaffed is that it's so difficult that people
aren't willing to take on that difficult task, and it's
probably hard to find people that are qualified to do
it or desired to be qualified to do it.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
And I heard today that it takes two to three
years to fully train an air traffic controller. I mean,
it's not something you go to class for.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Mind.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well, and I don't know that this is whether this
was hyperbole or where the President got this yesterday, but
I heard it clearly that he said that they've had
studies that the life span of air traffic controllers is
shorter than a normal person because of all the pressure.
I don't know where he got that, but he absolutely
said it, so that if that's true you, I mean,

(08:22):
because there was a time where people wanted to to
they took pride in doing difficult things and meeting the
meeting the standard.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
I don't know that we have a lot of that anymore.
We have some of that, but we don't.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Not in a mass, not across the population like at
one time. One time it was easy to find people
that were saying, oh, something's hard, I'll do it. Now
those people are fewer and fewer.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
Yeah, And now one thing I did here too is
that you know, there was some finger pointing to the
three soldiers in the black Hawk, but it's come out
now that they were very experienced that you know, soldiers.
It was a training exercise. It wasn't like, oh this
is the first time they were They were very experienced.
And so it just a lot of it just it's

(09:05):
like within how could something like this happen? And I
think it's just a number of issues and the air
traffic controller, I think everybody's pointing back to that person
saying that the instructions weren't clear.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
But we'll see.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
So there's kind of where that is as we start
this show. So and if we get more information on that, obviously,
we'll share that too.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
The Rick Burgess Show continues right after this.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
All right.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
So I want you to go to Angel dot com
slash Rick, and I want you to see this movie,
Brave the Dark. If you're like me, I struggled to
find movies that are worth watching these days.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
But let me tell you, Angel Studios have.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Been cranking out some great movies and you're gonna love
Brave the Dark. The story is, you know, it asked
the question how far will a teacher go to save
a kid on the brink of losing everything? You know,
the kid's trouble, he's outed a tough background. You know,
people have tried to help him. There's been some issues,
and you know a lot of times somebody said, hey,
this guy, this person you're trying to help, they can't

(10:15):
be helped. But this teacher says, I just see potential
in this young man and I'm not giving up on him,
no matter how many obstacles I have to go through.
And it really is a very moving story and you
can see it from both sides. Have you ever had
somebody you didn't give up on? Or have you ever
been the person that people didn't give up on? You
look at from me the way. It really is a

(10:36):
good movie. You'll love that. So go right now to
angel dot com slash Rick. That's Angel dot com slash
Rick and enjoy the movie Brave the Dark. Okay, So
we were talking about the show today and we will
be without Calvin Speedy Wilburn at some point today because

(11:01):
I believe you're taking on what every husband and every father,
you know, we have these things that always give us
a bit of anks. Of course, sitting in the number
one slot family portraits, that's not what he's doing today.
That's that's in the number one slot. You know, wife

(11:21):
hosting major event involving family or friends.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Greg, you don't want that, Greg, You lived that.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
As a matter of fact, You're still celebrating Christmas because
of it. Greg, Thank you Father Christmas. But then this
one's in. It's a top tenor and it is. It
is the family road trip. We were trying to get
our wives and you know, if you still have children
at home, your children are any family members from point

(11:51):
A to point B. Now trying to get your family
to go watch a ball game involving a family member.
If it's local, there's enough drama with that. But when
you're trying to get from Sweet Home, Alabama to Central Florida.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
It's tough. It's tough. It's just it's life. But it's tough.
Orlando here we come.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
Yeah, And to be like specific, it's Saint Augustine, which
is what I hear is gorgeous, but of.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Course it is.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah, it doesn't feel gorgeous right now now, and it
is traveling pants on.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Does I do? And I made the mistake.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
I told Greg, I said, I don't know that I've
ever wore sweats to the show, but I'm not gonna
wear jeans for and I guess you could run to
the office and change maybe before he cares. But that
on his traveler then pants don't want swamp acause it's
about two or three hours into the trip, you're like
starting around.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
All right, So so on a road trip, what are
you done? How far in? Uh? After four?

Speaker 6 (12:56):
It's it's tough, that's like you you know, just I
got my traveling in past. Don't want swamp me?

Speaker 7 (13:08):
Right?

Speaker 5 (13:10):
Wow?

Speaker 4 (13:10):
So, uh, it was a weird situation because you know,
they weren't bragging.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
It's just what happened. But some of the some of
some of the couples they flew.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
But Saint Augustine you can either fly into like Jacksonville.
You can fly into Daytona. I mean you can be
way off and flying to Orlando and then rent a
car and drive in. But our situation, you know, with
the new show just starting whatever, you just don't want
to be off. Even though we only hear half a
day to day. It's like, you know, the day of I.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Started looking at flights and I'm like.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Well, maybe we could catch a late morning, go land,
rent a car, drive down from Jacksonville.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Stuff.

Speaker 4 (13:48):
But then you start adding up that layover in Atlanta,
what could happen with the airlines? Your one delay from
from missing everything?

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (13:57):
And so it was about thirty minutes to forty five
of about the same amount of time. Once you add
up sure, flying, landing, get written a card. You got
to factor all that in and and although you know
you're you're an interstate issue away from stopping there too,
it's just something about being more control, in control of things,

(14:18):
and we just decided it would just be better if
we drove. And so when I leave, we we have
about thirty minutes of playtime to be there by first pitch,
and uah, baseball is playing down at is it?

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Flagler?

Speaker 4 (14:36):
I blink university, I forget you. Yeah, yeah, I believe
that's what it is. That's an easy sign. Yeah, yeah,
it's a it's not hard to recruit there, Yeah, Flagler.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Well, I got some chance against them from the opponent. Yeah, okay,
it's a nail in that. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
But if you're doing a chant, you can. Oh, it's
an easy chance. What they do when they change the
name of the university. They said, now before you say
anything else, it's insane OLDI sting Florida.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
Oh okay, yeah, and uh and there's a lot that
comes with it.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
But and I don't know how you truck do it.
I don't know. Y'all look at eight hours and probably
laugh at it.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
They do, you know, for those of us that don't
do that, you know, And I'll have to I'll have
to chill and not talk out loud as much because
left lane drivers are going to drive me crazy.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
I don't know what. I don't know what it is about, y'all.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
Goodness, you cause most of the problems because everybody starts
panicing trying to get around you.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Well, what I would say to the trucker it would
be like me saying that I don't like to run
a long way in a marathoner saying, what's a big deal.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Well, I'm not a marathoner. Yeah. Yeah, you know, I'm
not a truck driver. So that is a long way
for me.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
I will say in my drive, work's not a long
drive hour twenty minutes.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
But it has made me now be able to tolerate
being in a car more.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Sure, I bet it does better. Yeah, like I'm going
on a forest again. After four, I start getting in
sy after five. Now as far as total trip, if
I look at total trip and it's old more than six,
I'm not into that now. I mean you have to
you can't. But that's when I go, okay, I'm not
the focus.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
And you know when tom My wife would say that
my mind is forty five minutes, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Get on down the road.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
When when Tyler played at jack State and they were
in the o v C, you know, you had to
play the Ohio Ohio Valley Conference teams and so you
were looking at a lot of five hours. But something
about dealing with five five and a half I could handle.
Oh yeah, you get about and it's I'm not too sure,
but yesterday, when's the last time you dropped a dog
off in the drive through?

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (16:34):
That never haven't better?

Speaker 5 (16:36):
I like it?

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, well it sounds pretty cool. Yeah, drop Cuddy off
at the at the border. Uh.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
And so they are not the border at Southern Border,
but the boarding facility in uh Dallas. His his roommate Jason,
because it's Jayson's roommates dog.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
So you're dealing with Jason's roommates though.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
Yeah, and so they're all they're in a big run
together and they have each other.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
All they get to go. For an extra ten dollars,
they'll take him out. Let them play every day. Yeah,
you got to pay a fe that is laying there
on a blanket ten dollars a day.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
You can have doggy daycare and they can go run
out around and play with the other dogs.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
So if you don't pay that, they just leave it
locked in the moon. I guess I don't know. I
bet they didn't get a ten out of that one.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
Oh you know, I'm in But she calls Ben Peters
pay for his dog to be in So what's Cuddy
going to stay in the cage?

Speaker 8 (17:25):
Is the Rick Burgess show, the just you talk about
we are all quirky people.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Okay. So we were talking about doggie daycare.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Okay, And of course Greg's first thought about doggie daycare
is not what a convenient service people have decided to offer.
His first thought is what a racket? Okay? And I
and I charge you to let the dog go play?
First of all, why are you gonna charge me? So
if I don't pay it, he stays in a box

(17:59):
the whole time?

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Well? Yeah, and the fine play? Right? Does that mean
he's gonna run and play with toys? Is he?

Speaker 1 (18:05):
What?

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Are you just letting them out to take a dump?
Does that count?

Speaker 1 (18:08):
And Greg, it probably doesn't. But but then Speedy being
that being I know you say you're frugal, Yeah, I
say cheap. Speedy wants proof that the ten dollars he
paid made a difference. I want to see you what
what did what did ten dollars? To your point, Greg,
what did ten dollars get me out? Are you taking
that ten? I gotta have some bruise long, I want

(18:28):
to say, dude, I mean, I like, I want cutting
back in the car, tell me a graduate. Yeah, yeah, fine, video,
give us some video. Because Cuddy, he can't talk, he
can't rat on him, he can't get in the car
and say, let me just tell you something. Whatever you
pay for that play day was a racket.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
I don't know why smoking. I knew it. I knew it,
all right.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
So and I know why they charge now because they
have to hire people to watch over the dogs, guess,
and and be of course.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Uh the monitor the dog, he monitor, I guess. But
again I know that some places they have.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
Like webcams where you can log in and see the
cam and see the dog. But so you know, we ran,
we ran the list of things and and it hurt.
But I won't cut it to be all right, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
But you know, cut he a dog, will actually give
him some more. I've watched I've watched dogs all my life.
They're very rezousted.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
I have to remind tell you that a lot. You know,
he's a dog, he's not human. But anyway, so we
go through the list. All right, here's what's gonna cost
to boredom. Of course he needs this. This guy's he's
up for his board to tell I gotta have that again,
you know, so you start adding all that up.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Uh. And now now he's staying with Dallas, right, that's
the other dog.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
Yeah, we're gonna have a big run there and get
they're rooming together.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, yeah, gosh. And they're literal room dogs. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
Now that now, Now, now they the doggy daycare for
the day. I'm like, did they yeah?

Speaker 2 (20:04):
That now it's ten dollars. That's extra ten dollars a day.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
And that's when they you know, they go out during
the day and they play and run around and all
this kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
I'm like, well, if you don't pay the t and
they just leaving, I guess I guess so. And so
I'm like, okay, well I guess so.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
So I settle up and they're like, okay, if you'll
pull up a little bit, So and so is gonna
walk around and grab Cuddy. And this was a drive
think of a drive through, really is what it is.
And so they come out the side door and they
get Cuddy and they're.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Like, all right, see you later, and I'm like bye.

Speaker 4 (20:31):
And so I'm following the arrows and it takes you
around the building and then on the other side of
the building. All of a sudden, he just opens up
and you see where doggy daycare happens, and there's.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Probably twenty dogs just running everywhere.

Speaker 5 (20:45):
Around the corner.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
And there's just one dog on top of the other one.

Speaker 9 (20:48):
Just the dog that said on the receiving is looking
at me like, could somebody he.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Now, Cuddy? You know, he goes about eighty five pounds,
So I don't think that or nothing.

Speaker 4 (21:11):
This was not kidding say that it was just a dog.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
This is just a dog.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
What I'm saying is I don't know how to well,
I guess it's we're too late now, are we talking about?
This is a dog that was showing dominance?

Speaker 10 (21:24):
Is this?

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Is there a dog that somebody thought was Spade that wasn't.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
I bet it was.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
Sometimes it doesn't matter, it's that and I'm just you know,
sometimes a dog just gets up and does it and
it's like, buddy, that you're not doing anything. You know,
it was so bad, and the doggy monitor was going,
you know, whatever, dogs the dog like, I'm gonna say.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Larry, Larry stopped that.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Larry, I want a dog named Larry Larry.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
Yep I did this with the horn, went man.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Laugh look, you know what happened? Then then the dog
and then the dogs are rest. Said whatever it costs,
we're in for twenty dollars time. He said, what's that
right there? Now that's the twenty dollars quesal for an
extra file. I'm like, so this is where Cuddy will
be running around. Wow. When you let cutting out of

(22:24):
the card, he look at you, like, where are you going?

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:26):
He was like, what's up? And I said, hey, I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
That's when he his ears go out and goes, hey,
Dallas is in there?

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Sure, but your boy, your buddies don't know what you're
talking about. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
Yeah, but dogs it's funny too. And they get to rest,
the two of them. Yeah, and and it sounds it
looks like they're fighting, but they're not. I'm like, so
they'll be out there last. His roommate with, hey, I
couldn't got but don't you kind of laugh at this?

Speaker 1 (22:53):
But I understood what you're saying. So I'm paying for
all these things.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
How about this?

Speaker 1 (22:57):
I don't even really have proof of evening bathe the dog?
Can you at least you roast a video? What do
you mean by play? I've watched dogs once they reach
a certain age, they sleep most of the day.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
I think they're hassled by Yeah, I agree. Yeah, and
you waking me up again. I'm in here sleeping like
I like it. Now we feeding him? Or did you
bring food? Oh gosh, that like, well this is what this?
You better bring your own? All the Rick Burgess he
was into low hassle.

Speaker 4 (23:21):
So now what I'm gonna do tote around food?

Speaker 1 (23:22):
I was just thinking about you. You think I ever
brought food?

Speaker 4 (23:25):
They asked, what kind of Oh no, no, not at all.
So it's it's I told Terry what is probably gonna
hit and it's.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Uh quite quite a little business. Yeah it look dog
adam at last three bills.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
I know. But as we said this week on a
prior show.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Okay, y'all y'all that do all this, God bless you
and thank you for doing it. And it's a great
and we're glad to know y'all are there. But if
y'all had tried to pull this off and think this
was a good business plan in the seventies, you would
have all gone broke.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Yeah today you're booming.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Your boom mean, our parents would have thought y'all had
lost your mind. And and but but we all, you know,
we're all guilted into doing it.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Now, so you've done a good job. Yeah, yeah, y'all won.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Like we said yesterday, our parents would just fill the
bowl up and said, we'll see you when we get back.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
So, just a lot of folks like, what about y'all's dogs, Well,
this is it's just gosh, it's so complicated. So so
Cuddy is the college dog. He comes home, that's a
good question. And he's not there every day. Well, we
have a setup with our dogs with pet stop and
the underground fence and stuff, and so they're trained, they
have their collars seventies and stuff.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Huh, you're living in the seventies. Yeah, except for the pet.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
Dolls, right, And and so I'm like, you know that
Reese is not does not have to work a full weekend.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
He's going to be home.

Speaker 4 (24:46):
Terry's parents live around the corner. They're gonna be in
and out. My neighbors are gonna watch them. So they're fine.
Said we can't let Cuddy out and just let him
go because he's not he didn't have the callers because
he comes and goes.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
He's not here all the time. But then you know,
then you got jay c.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
They left Wednesday, they're not coming back till Sunday night,
and they're traveling, so you got.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
To what do you do?

Speaker 4 (25:07):
They got a midweek next week, and so I'll just
take Cutty back to the mid week and then he's
got him back.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
No, you got to get him again next road.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Let me let me tell you all this, all of
this is about that life truth that really what happened
is our kids want to have the pets, but then
they end up being hours.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, that's exactly how. That's exactly it. Chloe the dog,
the Chiwawa at least I had forever.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
It originally was Chandlers though of course it was, but
that didn't last long.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
No So, and I blame Jac's roommate for all this.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
He's the one that found the rescue center I think
it was Indicator and took Jac with him and they found,
they found, they found the puppies there.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
And what are you gonna do? I mean, this is
in the only road game. Are you gonna have to
do this every time?

Speaker 4 (25:54):
Normally it's about I don't know, twice the season at
least that we have to do this because a lot
of times that like maybe guys that don't travel some
fresh or you know, a girlfriend or two, I will
keep them.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
And this one's a little different. We'll be right.

Speaker 5 (26:13):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
As we start this hour, we did talk a little
bit last hour the update on where we are on
what happened with the happened with the horrible crash yesterday. So, uh,
here is Trump and we all heard this at his
press conference and he began to lay out that he
really felt that this is a bad result from bad

(26:43):
decisions on d EI hirings, especially in a place as
important and difficult as air traffic controllers. He's going to
be questioned by the press on why he thinks that
is the can inclusion, and here he is.

Speaker 7 (27:01):
It's all under investigation.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
I understand that.

Speaker 11 (27:04):
That's why I'm trying to figure out how you can
come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something
to do with this crack, because.

Speaker 7 (27:11):
They have common sense, okay, and unfortunately a lot of
people don't. We want brilliant people doing this. This is
a major chess game at the highest level. When you
have sixty planes coming in during a short period of
time in the role coming in different directions, and you're
dealing with very high level computer computer work and very

(27:34):
complex computers. And one of the other things I will
tell you is that the systems that were built. I
was going to rebuild the entire system, and then we
had an election that didn't turn out the way it
should have. But they didn't build the systems properly. They
spent a lot of money renovating a system, spending much
more money than they would have spent if they bought

(27:54):
a new system for air traffic control, as meaning the
computerized systems. Certain companies that do a very good job,
they didn't use those companies. They use companies that should
not have been doing it.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
So he talked yesterday, and obviously we were not going
to run the entire thing because it was lengthy. But
he was speaking yesterday, which is why this reporter asked
him this like he had been briefed, and in his opinion,
from what I guess he has seen and heard, we're
going to find that the air traffic controller is who

(28:28):
failed everybody here. And he thinks that's because when he
was there in twenty sixteen, he said, I took the
standards way up, and then when the Biden administration came in,
they took the standards back down and started a bunch
of diversity and DEI approach to the hirings, and he's

(28:50):
suggesting and we'll see that that led to people being
put in jobs they couldn't handle. And Son, then when
you heard the reporter, well, if the investigation is still going,
how can you possibly come to that conclusion?

Speaker 2 (29:04):
He says, because I have common.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Sense because I see the formula, so it's easy to
kind of figure out what the sum of that would be.
I guess, I guess, are you seeing something he already knows, right,
So there you go.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
And also Pete Hegseth is going to weigh in on this.
This is courtesy of Fox News, and I do agree
with him on this because this is an incorrect statement
concerning military and it's along the same lines about the
ultimate goal being diversity not excellent.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
So here here's heg Seth talking about this.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
What's happening with DEI.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
How's that going at the Defense Department?

Speaker 12 (29:42):
Well, DEI is not going well at the Defense Department
because it's dead. We will, as the President said in
his inaugural we will be merit based and color blind,
and that is the case of the Defense Department. DEI
is going to be ripped out, root and branch because
we want everyone treated equally with high standards and held
accountable with war fighting lethality and readiness front et cetera.

(30:05):
We don't have time for emphasizing differences.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
Jesse.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
One of the dumbest phrases in military.

Speaker 12 (30:10):
History is our diversity is our strength. Our diversity is
not our strength. Our unity and our shared purpose is
our strength. And the Pentagon is excited to get back
to that core mission. It's happening rapidly. The services are responding,
and those that don't want to respond can work somewhere else.
So diversity, equity, inclusion will not be a part of

(30:31):
the Defense Department.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Not a minute lot.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Here here boom, and America sleeps better hearing that the
military is going to return to excellence being the goal.
Certainly equality meaning we all anyone who meets that goal
should be given the job. But we're not going to
lower the goal and say that diversity is more important

(30:56):
than excellence. It just isn't, and it isn't our strength.
Somebody's asking, I'll get to you edit. What DEI stands for?
It's diversity, equity inclusion go ahead.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
In November of twenty twenty four last year, The Blaze
released their original documentary called Countdown to the Next Aviation Disaster.
Oh wow, Yeah, it's just insane that so many people
have been calling out these problems, the Blaze tweeted out.
Over the past four years, the FAA has been plagued
by outdated technology in a shift toward DEI hiring practices,

(31:29):
and the results have been disastrous. The Biden Harris administration,
with Pete Buddhaje Edge at the Helm of Transportation, has
created one of the most dangerous environments for what used
to be the most convenient way to travel. I just
that struck me.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
And it's that I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
I knew that they had done some things, but now
you that's a good reminder they were actually, you know,
putting together investigative reporting that was saying this is coming, Yeah, which.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
Is you know, that was just they released it just
in November last year.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
See if if you're going to watch that on Blade,
I'm sure you can find it if you're a Blaze subscriber.
And and yeah, see this is this is journalism like
it it was at one time, and this was something
they were saying. But but you know, like the President
just said, common sense should tell you that. Look, if
you want to say and like what we do for
a living, let's let's try to do some quotas and

(32:22):
let's try to do some goals. You may turn out
to have a show that's not that great, but nobody dies.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yeah, okay, but but.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
You can't you I don't know how we even wrap
our mind around our national security, our air traffic controllers,
these our law enforcement, whatever the case may be. Doctors,
you wouldn't do it there. You don't when these people
have life and death. You cannot make the goal diversity.

(32:54):
The goal has to be excellence. And as we've said,
and I've said a thousand times, where did we start
being so disrespectful that we think that the goal can't
be excellence. If you want to have diversity, what are
you saying? You think some people are inferior because of
their ethnicity or gender. No, I think the goal is

(33:16):
excellence and you leave it there and you'll still have
diversity because people are excellent who come from all kinds
of backgrounds, and both genders are excellent. I don't understand
that at all. I've never understood. Whell you you got
to lower the standard if you gon have diversity. Wow,
that's that's kind of an arrogant thing to say about people. Well,

(33:38):
you know some people just can't do that. Yes they can't.
You know, let's let's have the best of the best
and you'll still have diversity.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
So we'll be back.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
And then, of course, like you say, when if you
keep this going, even when somebody does earn it, people
roll their eyes and go, yeah, I's a dhar even
when sometimes it's not right. Don't accomplished either. No, we'll
be back more of the show right after this, speedy.

(34:12):
I know you're leaving here in a minute. You're going
on the road trip? Are you packed? Everybody packed? Everybody
got there? How many games we're gonna see?

Speaker 4 (34:21):
It's a three game series? Way to go, but three
game series? And you know, you know the streaming options
are so advanced now, I mean a streams in HD.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
But but so did you.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
I know that we all usually take our you know,
are my pillow with us?

Speaker 4 (34:43):
Oh we gotta have that, got to have our little
blanket and our little throw, our little favorite one. Talking
about this well, yeah, the rooms are always too cold,
so we've got to have our favorite blanket and all
that and uh and so Terry's car gets much better
as mileage. And it's the right thing to do. But
anytime you go from your truck to to a sedan

(35:04):
type call, you're like, wow, this is tiny.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
You feel like you sit around.

Speaker 4 (35:08):
Hey, it's the right thing to do. I mean, my goodness,
it's really made.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
For stuff, it is.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
And I hope they I wish they would ban bucket
seats were going.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
Right, and so you know, you're trying to pack the
night before and get bags in there and and you know,
all this kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
That way the next morning, you know, you don't.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
Have to do a whole lot and uh, let's let's
pack everything except what we got to have the next morning.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
And uh.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
And so I've got her car and and her her
mom is going to meet us and all that.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
It's just it's just the best thing to do.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
Well.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
Last night, there was talk about, you know, taking my
pillows and not just our individuals, but they're my pillows
and uh, and I said, yeah, I'll grab I'll grab
mine and and everything and she had changed the changed
the sheets on the bed and everything, and I noticed
that the pillow that she likes the most was over
kind of on my side, and I thought, and then

(35:59):
she took what I call a backup pillow, because sometimes
I'll have a pillow leaning up.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
Against a lot of billards.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
And uh and and so she had she had mine
that I'm not going to take. So I thought that
she was signaling to me, here's my pillow. When you
packed the car, go ahead and pack mine that way
when we meet, I.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Don't have to even worry about it.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
So the lights are off and we're going to bed,
and I said, hey, this big pillow, because night's laying
in between us. I said, hey, this big pillow. Do
you just what do you want to do with this?
What are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (36:31):
And I went happy. I said, oh wow, I know
we're getting ready.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
We're getting ready for some reason. I don't know why,
but the house has to be spotless when you leave.
I don't understand anyway, I said, I said, well, you
know this the pillow your pillows right here.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
No it's not, No, it's not I'm holding your pillow
right now, and I'm just asking, do you you just
want me to take it?

Speaker 4 (36:57):
Is that what I can, I'll pack it my What
are you talking about? And I'm like, oh wow, so
it's elevating and understand we're in the dark.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
Okay. All I hear is the voice on the other side,
definite tone. Oh yeah, she's done with me, okay.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
And I'm like, Mama's tired and and and I just
but I just need to know. Am I leaving the
pillow because I don't want to also be blamed from
where's my pillow when we get there and then we
don't have it? So I said, just the pillow, the
one you always sleep with.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Now I'm elevating. Uh, I've got it.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
I'm holding it in my hand, and I just need
to know, and do you want me to take it
with me? And I thought you were telling me that
that was signaling to me, go ahead and take my pillow.
I'll use this tonight. Don't worry about that package. No,
I'm on my pillow and she's laying on it. And
I said, if you'll pick your head up.

Speaker 6 (37:49):
Oh no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
No, okay, I didn't say it like that. Okay, you're
big now, been with the guys. I'm making out with
the dudes now. I told her.

Speaker 4 (37:59):
I told her, if you were kindly pick your head
up and look, you'll see that you're on my one
of my the pillows that I use, and any pillow
can be used.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
But I'm just saying normally.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
I'd just like to point out you're laying on my pillow.
This is your pillow, lay in between us.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
And and then finally, oh, oh, well no, I don't
know why that happened.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
Give me my pillow. I'll just bring it in the morning.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
I'm like, wow, okay, did.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
You take your pill and put it in the car?

Speaker 4 (38:33):
Yes, I just packed my pillow. I'm sorry, would be great,
but I'm thinking these things. I'm not dear brave enough
to say it, you know. And uh, And then you
don't want to lay down frustrated with each other.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
No, it's terrible. Now you can't sleep. Good love you, honey,
look for you to seeing in the morning. Did you
throw one of those out in the dark and just
join your pillow?

Speaker 1 (38:56):
All right, Well.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
It's just a lot on us to get packed. I
get it. Even though we're only going for two days,
we've got lots of stuff. Hey, now that we've got
their work out, travel and now we got the workout. Baby,
we're all ready to go.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
I'm looking for this trip, aren't you right?

Speaker 2 (39:11):
I don't know, I don't get it.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
I think I've got a hoodie or two and some
sweatpants and a pair of jean just because you don't know.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
I could take a plastic bag from Walmart and put
what I'm taking.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
I literally packed within ten minutes. Ten minutes to pack.
Did you where are you going?

Speaker 4 (39:27):
I'm gonna go get my nails done to go to
to go to to a game.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
Right because I know everybody there is waiting, suit, j nails,
A long ride, so long run. They do look beautiful
now beautiful? Now did you now? Did y'all y'all end
on a good note? Or do you have too? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (39:42):
I think so cause I'm gonna tell you if you
if you've ever had an angry woman, and it will
shock you. I've always been amazed how long they commit
to the solid Track's amazing in the car. It's amazing
in the cars, almost say I think there's no they can.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
They'll do the whole trip.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
I don't know if in their mind they've got at
what point they're going to, you know, start talking to again?
Is it as we go into Florida? Right, do you
think they ever get in their mind? You know, unless
I decide that I'm doing some legal work on this guy.
You have to eventually start talking to me.

Speaker 3 (40:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
How many tries do you give it before you give up?
You go, well and try to start a conversation A three? Yeah,
I'm about three to two or three.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
I'll throw something out of you can believe what happened
worked today? Yeah? And nothing? Ok? All right? Hey did
you hear from the boys? Nothing? Hey?

Speaker 1 (40:28):
Uh do you see what Trump said? I'll try that
different areas.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
I will tell you this, though.

Speaker 4 (40:33):
One great thing about her is that when it's over,
it's over. I mean, so like, okay today, I mean,
she's gonna be.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
But that's good for you, you know, Okay good.

Speaker 4 (40:42):
And there was a time where I'm like, because we
have a smart alec Inish that I was saying things
in the dark, and but I thought, well, do I
just take.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
The pillar or just let it stay?

Speaker 4 (40:52):
I don't know, you know, but I really needed her
to know I've got your pillow and you're.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
On mine, and this pillow is not mine, and it's
in her way.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
And I just wanted to know, because apparently these pillows
are a big deal.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
Oh yeah, you know, by the way, I love the texture.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
Imagine all this going on while Speed he had a horseshoe,
his hair's grown up.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
It does make it different, make it different.

Speaker 4 (41:16):
First five minutes of us meeting this morning. That and
you'll know because they can't hide it. No, I slamed
that she slams the door. I'm like, oh, here we go.

Speaker 5 (41:25):
This is the Rick Burgess show.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
Somebody says said step by step, Well.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
Like that one. It's no hip to be square, but
it's nice.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Oh boy, do not say that what Gregor's Speed likes
hip to be square?

Speaker 2 (41:51):
That you're kidding? Right, Look again, I like it. Let
me get a record. I like hue Lewis in the news.
I think he's I like his voice.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
I love the way they sing back around and I
just like, I know it's a little poppy, but whatever.
But that song was horrible. First of all, I'm being
sure who I'm hip to be squat? You know what
I'm saying, you don't have play on words?

Speaker 2 (42:10):
Well, they're playing on words. When he says sometimes bad
is bad. I do like that. That's a really good one.
It's a good song, but appreciate it speedy. Please tell
me that's not true. I'll say this so if it's on,
I won't go a. Yeah, I probably just like I got.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
Tired of the one from Back to the Future, Back
in Power Love Dad, And then what what about back
in Time or something that not the same thing? Maybe
I could be I think you.

Speaker 4 (42:35):
Did y'all feel pressure, anything that they played that one
too much, anything that played too much on the radio,
you felt it was your obligation to not like it.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
Yeah, kind of. I got to be honest. I was
getting back out of it. I gotta be honest now.
I literally would either burned door or I didn't. There's
some songs you can play a thousand times. I'll never
be mad at you, absolutely, you know. And I'll never
be mad at you.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
And there's some.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
Rick and I don't want to admit that I really
really loved in the Day that I can't listen to
now because I'm just tired.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
I've heard it so many times. Okay, let me go
this fartalk this way, Arismith, there it is. I don't
even know you.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
I mean, i've heard that run probably I knew it.
Rig I'm gonna go sweeten motion every time before I go.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
To that, I have to agree with that.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
Yeah, okay, what are you done with dream One?

Speaker 2 (43:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (43:22):
What?

Speaker 3 (43:22):
No?

Speaker 2 (43:23):
No, Greg, You're not allowed to be done with dream On.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
You can take walk this way and be done with
I'm good with that because it it became so prominent.
You cannot be against dream One.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
I forbid it. Maybe I said that a little quick.
You did dream On. I'll tell you another one, metal Health,
and come on feel the noise from choir.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
I'm with you, and come on, feel the noise. Never Health,
Never on Metal Health, Greg, we covered that and owned it.
Do that hurts to anything we covered? I'm kind of
That was my next question. Do you agree with that
you were a man? If you covered a song, the
burn factor is higher because you had to play it
so many times.

Speaker 3 (43:57):
Yes, yes, you had to learn it. You had to
play it, bunch. Greg, you can be done with dude
looks like a lady. You can't be done with Dreamon.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
A great point. And by the way, I'm way done
with dude looks like a lady. Hand Ragdoll.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
Yeah, halland Oates are never like rag Doll, halland Oaates
or Huey Lewis.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
Now, are you talking about nineteen seventies? Hall of Oats?
Are talking about eighties?

Speaker 1 (44:18):
Are you talking about are you talking about Sarah Smile?
She's gone? Are you talking about you know your your
kiss is on my list?

Speaker 4 (44:25):
Huey Lewis Library, Hall and Oaks Library, Huey Lewis, Hi

old one Sarah Smile. Those are all but this guy's
strictly talking about Huels. Okay, So Greg, I'm gonna run

Okay, see here we go.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
I mean it's a shop of the hour on w
R A B.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
Getting ready for the weekend, James Man says, look for
a little warming trend.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
This weekend makes me want a new drug. Here's Whuey
Lewis in the news. What's your head?

Speaker 11 (45:49):
What's your hip?

Speaker 2 (45:57):
Right down?

Speaker 6 (45:58):
Talk?

Speaker 2 (45:59):
The radio ruined me on that they played it to
Walk Me Walking.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
That song you didn't no, no, that was a good part,
but they played it a lot. You guys, I guess
you didn't like the afternoon again.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
I love the face you make with that voice. All Right,
you've already spoke to the power of love. You hate that?
Got it?

Speaker 7 (46:12):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (46:12):
What about Jacob's Ladder? We like that love Jacob and
a Shocker maybe my favorite and a Shocker and a Shocker,
Greg and I.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
One of our mini bands, Silent Reign, the one that
probably had the most potential. We actually covered Jacobs.

Speaker 4 (46:25):
The first ten seconds of that because I, well, I
did it in the bed coming out.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
I do know it. It has a reference to Birmingham
in the beginning. Yeah, that's all I hear.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
The first lyric The reference to Birmingham is fantastic.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
I didn't I didn't know. I didn't put the name
of the song with this.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
A Metafan dancer, south Side and Birmingham.

Speaker 5 (46:51):
So you love that?

Speaker 2 (46:52):
Like that?

Speaker 7 (46:52):
Like that?

Speaker 2 (46:53):
Hey step? Greg said he wants to walk one? Which
one do you want to.

Speaker 4 (46:58):
I'm gonna do you want to want one?

Speaker 12 (47:01):
You know?

Speaker 2 (47:02):
All right? Greg? Now here comes watch Greg. He'll hate
this one. Stuck with you or stuck on you, whatever
it was, stuck with you. I don't remember that one,
big duck. I hate that one. Doing it all for
my baby? You hate that. I don't like Huey Lewis.
Now I'm back. If this is it? If this is it? No, okay,
it's all right. Probably my favorite, do you Believe in Love?

Speaker 1 (47:24):
Which was the first song I ever heard, A good one,
great great harmonies.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
That was a good one. Cross your arm, heart and
soul you like again. Let me just say this, I've
realized the burn factor. It's not that I don't like,
but the radio just killed me. Oh Greg, you were
right back in time. You're right there.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
It's power of Love and back in Time are two
different songs from it.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
I guess one from part one one for part.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
Two, I said, Greg, Now, now let's ask the question
again from the text, do you like Hugh Lewis?

Speaker 2 (47:50):
And then I don't hate them, but I'm not a
huge fan. Okay, how about is that Adler I loved?

Speaker 3 (47:55):
I really like Hugh Lewis in the news.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
I mean I like them.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
I think they're undisputed masterpieces. Here to be square, I.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
Don't have any of this, but let me say this
in my Apple music I do not have any Hughey Lewis. Greg,
here's a great question text, a little off topic, but
still on topic because of the burn factor. Okay, are
you ever tired of Don't Stop Believing?

Speaker 2 (48:16):
By Journey?

Speaker 7 (48:18):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (48:18):
You know that's that's good. It's close. What is close?
But then once it starts, I'm back. I'm back in
nineteen eighties.

Speaker 3 (48:26):
It goes back to the cover band thing. I had
to play that at a bunch of weddings, so I'm
done with it.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
Oh wow, it reminds me of a good I love
that that time in the eighties.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
You got a little nostalgia tied in and it was huge.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
Here's where I am on, what a huge wreck? Here
I am on, don't stop believing. I'll go through the
first verse in the first course and then I'm out.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
But the first, Honey, I'm with you for the first
the first the first verse. I gotta be there. I
do he did the small damn guy. Yeah, I never
get I got the same. But I will not go
to the second verse. No, I'm done. Smell a white
and cheap. I never get back there. I never get
back there.

Speaker 4 (49:05):
What's a song you listened to within the last month
that you're embarrassed?

Speaker 2 (49:09):
You like, uh oh, there's so many.

Speaker 4 (49:13):
I mean, like you're in your truck by yourself and
you're like, man, if somebody knew I was singing with this.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
Uh Howard Jones? That uh, if you want it was
the uh nothing? Oh now the other one when I
like nothing Howard Jones.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Yeah, all right, rig there's your bad music coming out? Hey,
e does Chris I ever want to walk a song?

Speaker 3 (49:34):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (49:34):
Sure is to blame is to blame. It's good grave
to walk that one. That is a good song.

Speaker 5 (49:42):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
But Greg, one last thing on Last Hours that we
we someone said on Huey Lewis and the News, Uh,
what about walking on a thin line? That may be
my favorite forgot about it. Here's what I've determined on
me and Huey. I like a lot of his songs,
and some of them I don't. Okay, well that's all right,
And I blame the radio for most of it because
they played him too much. We're Walking on thin Line

(50:13):
and Greg said, this is a song he's not proud
that he likes, but he does. Yees on Howard Jones.
No one is to blame, you know this song under
too young for this one, too young, too young for this.

Speaker 3 (50:27):
One, he said, some UK guy.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
I looked him up, big key big keyboard guy, big
keyboard guy.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
What was his biggest hit?

Speaker 2 (50:34):
His biggest hit was up was that no One, no
one I know is.

Speaker 3 (50:39):
Like to get to know you?

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Well, things can only get better?

Speaker 3 (50:44):
Yeah, oh okay, that's what Okay, I know that.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
Yeah okay. This was his other song that Greg's in
love with.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
No say that, I said, you would be surprised that
I had it controversial from the text line involving our
our look at music is eighties music overall overrated.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
You know there's a lot of bad eighties music. I
just hear.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
What a controversial statement. What a contraver. There is there
is because you can go to the eighties channel and
there's some bad stuff that is in that. The electronic
drum sound, you know all that, there's that little world
and there's a lot of them. What is that s
spandau ballet, that type of Oh my, you know what
I'm saying, don't even there's a lot of that.

Speaker 11 (51:24):
No.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
But now you go to the hair metal scene, then yeah,
that's where I was at.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
You have to be careful by throwing all the eighties
music out because, as you just said, you're gonna kick
out some really good stuff.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
I mean you're basically saying taking Van Halen's nineteen eighty
four tour an album and throwing it out.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
You can't do that.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
I'm not throwing that out. No, I'm going Panama out.
That's what we're doing. Yeah, you're gonna do that. You're
gonna chunk it.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
So so now we can't do that. No, And as
you said, I mean, we're gonna throw Deaf Leopard out
when they were at their best. Oh my, still one
of my favorites may have been my favorite band growing up.
And three two one This is Greg, where Greg tells
us that high and is better than Pyromana. Is the
best record they made, and he's guilty for liking Hysteria.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Yeah, I listened to it.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
Now I don't like as much as I did. I
thought it was fine, Greg. I don't why, you know, I.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Don't hate it, but it's no Pyromania or so anyway.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
So I think you've got to be careful with taking
an era of music and just throwing it out, because
there's some good stuff that goes.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
Out with it.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
But a lot of times people refer to eighties music.
It's the span out ballet.

Speaker 2 (52:25):
Thompson Twins, ABC, Thompson Twins.

Speaker 3 (52:27):
You know that.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
Yeah, I agree that's bad music. Oh it is, Yeah,
it is.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
I hope speed. You heard me say, Thompson Twins.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
Yeah. All right. Over in the political world, we've updated you.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
As I said on Trump's speech yesterday about the crash
Pete heg Seth his comment about the worst dumbest phrase
in military history is our diversity is our strength.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
We've hit that.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
Uh here's Tulca Gabbert. Now she's catching some heat because
I guess.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
If you're RFK Jr.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
Or her, you weren't allowed to be a Democrat once
and then realize that what the Democrat Party has turned
into you can't be part of. You're not allowed to
do that anymore without taking hate.

Speaker 3 (53:05):
Yes, yes, and you've got Kennedy RFK Junior, the nominee
for Health and Human Services Secretary. We've been playing a
bunch of stuff from that. Tulsea Gabbard is nominated for
Director of National Intelligence and she had a bunch of
hearings yesterday. Cash Fattel was also selected for FBI director
nominated and he had some hearings as well yesterday. If

(53:26):
you guys want any of that.

Speaker 2 (53:27):
Stuff, all right, So let's go with Tulsea Gabbard first.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
In her opening statement, Okay, you want to do that first,
all right, So here we go.

Speaker 13 (53:34):
Now, before I close, I want to warn the American
people who are watching at home closing major lies and
smears in this hearing that will challenge my loyalty to
and my love for our country. Those who oppose my
nomination imply that I am loyal to something or someone
other than God, my own conscience, and the Constitution of

(53:55):
the United States, accusing me of being Trump's puppet, Putin's puppet,
Asad's puppet a, Guru's puppet, Mody's puppet, not recognizing the
absurdity of simultaneously being the puppet of five different puppet masters.
The same tactic was used against President.

Speaker 2 (54:15):
Trump puppet a law and failed.

Speaker 13 (54:17):
The American people elected President Trump with a decisive victory
and mandate for change. The fact is what truly unsettles
my political opponents is I refuse to be their puppet
puppet again.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
Greg, Okay, you think that gray is natural in her hair?
She did that.

Speaker 3 (54:35):
No, that's that's from her time in the war. She
was like a medic, and evidently the trauma that she
went through.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
Put one gray striking her hand.

Speaker 3 (54:46):
Yes, she's like a superhero.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
I saw this coming.

Speaker 3 (54:48):
Isn't that crazy? Yeah, she doesn't do it.

Speaker 1 (54:51):
Yeah, you feel bad about saying something now.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
I don't buy that.

Speaker 3 (54:55):
I don't know if I do. I do, but it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
I knew you were going to say that. I mean,
how's that happen? Right?

Speaker 1 (55:00):
I mean, stress can make your uh yeah, but I
mean look at mine. But I'm just saying that one street,
that one streets kind of streak. A lot of people
do that as as they do it on purpose.

Speaker 3 (55:12):
Yeah, yeah, all right, So evidently she does it right.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
So that's so she's saying that that was not something
that was done at the beauty shop. Stress put that,
put that.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
Stylish look in her. I'll tell you what. She's not
a puppet.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
No, she's not, all right, And she continues now going
to be bringing up the counselors treason US acts the
deep State committed against President Trump.

Speaker 13 (55:32):
So so here here we go a few other examples.
The American people elected Donald Trump as their president not once,
but twice, and yet the FBI and intelligence agencies were
politicized by his opponents to undermine his presidency and falsely
portray him as a puppet of Putin. Title one Offiza
was used illegally to obtain a warrant to spy on

(55:53):
Trump campaign advisor Carter Page, using a Clinton campaign funded
false dossier as their so called evidence. Biden campaign advisor
Tony Blinken was the impetus for the fifty one former
senior intelligence officials letter dismissing Hunter Biden's laptop as disinformation
specifically to help Biden win the election. Former d and

(56:17):
I James Clapper lied to this committee in twenty thirteen
denying the existence of programs that facilitated the mass collection
of millions of Americans phone and internet records, yet was
never held accountable. Under John Brennan's leadership, the cia abused
its power to spy on Congress to dodge oversight, lied
about doing it until he was caught, and yet has

(56:38):
never been held responsible.

Speaker 3 (56:40):
And this goes on and on.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
Oh wow, there we go, and finally I like this
because this is can she handle herself when people try
to bait her, try to can she handle tough questions?
And the answer apparently is yes. Shouldn't be surprising, but
based on her background. But here's one of the Democrat
senators trying to bait her on Eric Snowden, and she
immediately gives the proper balance.

Speaker 5 (57:01):
So here it.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
Is, do you still think Edward Snodan is brave?

Speaker 13 (57:06):
Mister Vice Chairman? Edward Snowden broke the law. I do
not agree with or support with all of the information
and intelligence that he released, nor the way in which
he did it. There would have been opportunities for him
to come to you on this committee or seek out
the IG to release that information. The fact is he also,
even as he broke the law, released information that exposed egregious,

(57:30):
illegal and unconstitutional programs that are happening within our government,
that led to serious reforms that Congress under took.

Speaker 2 (57:39):
Chairman, we got five minutes. So why did I take
your answer? You know? And these are your quotes.

Speaker 1 (57:47):
Yeah, she handled herself well, and he was like, well, no,
I don't want you to actually lay that out where
people could actually agree with you. I wanted you that's
not the answer I wanted. But she stayed calm, level headed.
She answered the proper balance.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
He should not.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
Have done it the way he did it, but we
also can't ignore what he did exposed and we should
be very concerned by it. Absolutely, and that was handled
quite well. Sixteen minutes past. More of the show coming
up right after this.

Speaker 5 (58:16):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
So a couple of questions I want to throw your way,
and I know we continue to unpack some of this.
Somebody's on the text line. They're saying, you know, I
guess it's a tuber. Hey, Rick, do I see you
eating sausage balls in the break No? No, that these
are those things that Speedy's wife sent up here, and
I don't know what you call them. They're they're like

(58:44):
breakfast balls of some kind. He told us what was
all in them, and he brought a bag of him
and I had some of those. They're very good. And
then Leley, you know Greg's wife, Lisa, was kind enough
to send.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
Us this.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Sausage square sausage square things. So yeah, we've been we're
off the up. Yeah, and then starting Monday, you guys,
you realize Monday, the first eight people come into the
box seats, they'll be here.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
Ready to go. Monday and Tuesday. It's Monday.

Speaker 3 (59:14):
Is it Tuesdays?

Speaker 2 (59:15):
Tuesdays?

Speaker 3 (59:15):
I thought we were doing Tuesdays.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
Well I'm sorry, Yeah, you're right, we're doing Tuesdays. I'm
in next week. I just spent. That's when the week starts.
It's okay, Yeah, Tuesday, Tuesday and Friday, because we're gonna
do two days a week. You're right. I know the
people that were coming on Tuesday panic.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
Sorry about sorry, I'm sorry, but anyway, it is Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (59:34):
So about it. That's so confidence man.

Speaker 3 (59:37):
Multiple times.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
Yeah, I've said it a few times a day. Thank
you guys for loving me enough to correct me.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
Yeah, we give you three y'all.

Speaker 1 (59:44):
Look at you and said, if he does it one more,
let's say something so But anyway, so there's various talk about,
you know, foods and things like that. You don't have
to bring anything. I mean just yeah, it don't even
It's fine, don't worry about that. Don't worry about that.
But I wanted to ask you a question since you
and I are headed to camp House today and we're
and we're jacked.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
Were going forward to that is where they get on through,
got the rain coming through. We're going down.

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
We're gonna try to be low, low hassle, you know,
and just do anything. Hey, y'all want me to come
over and do something, and then you know, and then
we got to worry about it. Fiara's gonna try to,
you know, pull something on us. But now that's still
out there. This is an important question because yesterday Wingo
and I were down there. Now I want to I
want to emphasize this. Those of you that that may

(01:00:28):
not know Rich Wingo, you could simply google his football prowess.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
Pretty impressive.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
He played for coach Paul bear Bryant a couple of
national championships.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Go line stand. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
I went on to be an outstanding player for the
Green Bay Packers. He's a brutal man. He's uh, he's
he's the toughest of the tough yep okay, and a
great friend of mine, and a gift on accountability and
and growing me spiritually and just a good loyal friend.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
And so. But he said something yesterday and I kind
of I was rich. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
And so we're at camp house and first of all,
I clearly have the coffee over there in a container.
And he goes over and starts getting a bag out,
and I said, we got coffee right here. He's got
the scooper in it and everything, and uh, and then
he accused me of being O.

Speaker 10 (01:01:29):
C D.

Speaker 1 (01:01:29):
Wow, we'll just so I can't just get it out
of this, I said, I prefer if you got it
out of that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
Yeah, that's why it's over there. And he accused me
of being O.

Speaker 12 (01:01:36):
C D.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
And and so I said, this is back this thing
we talked about on the air. I think people declared
these things. Maybe I just like things the way I
like them. And oh, by the way, that's not where
the garbage bass go. So so anyway, a little more
to the left right, Yeah, wow, okay, you're gonna put
it right in front of the other thing.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Move it over, Move it over. I don't like that load.

Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
But anyway sounds a little OCD.

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
But but little but he he says to me, because
I'm just saying, pour us up some black coffee. We're
at camp house. Yeah, he goes, you don't have any creamer?
And I said, at camp house? And he goes, I
like creamer. I said you. First of all, you get
a little milk. You middle linebacker for the Green Bay Packers,

(01:02:19):
you do creamer. I like a little creamer. And then
he said, so are that you just don't have creamer?
I said, we don't keep creamer at camp house. It's
just not part of the camp house experience. You know,
unless say the wives are going to stay over it,
they probably bring some sort of flavored creamer.

Speaker 2 (01:02:36):
I'm sure they will. Yeah me, And I'm a coffee expert.
Yes you are. That's why I'm asking you.

Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
I can live with creamer if it's not flavored, okay.
I mean I've known people occasionally, if there's available, I
don't seek it out. But if, like in our kitchen,
there's the little creamers, not the flavored, just the creamer
I have every now and then, just one jumping in
there just for just a little dip something different.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
That's it, though I don't put sugar in Can I
follow up with that question? What do you consider?

Speaker 1 (01:03:09):
Do you think it's a bigger foul if I've gotten
a show enough half and half creamer, even if it's
not flavored, yeah, versus just put some milk in this
in the fridge. No, I like milk it too. Which
one is worse to you? As far as oh the creamer? Okay,
milk's more like, Hey, I'm dumbling milk in here. Would
you be okay with dumbling some milk in there? If
there were some in the fridge at campaus or No?

(01:03:30):
I mean, I'm not going to do it, But I
can you drink anything other than black coffee at campus?

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
I guess is what I'm asking. I see where you're going.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
Yeah, i'll give you that if you're if you're a male, right,
if you're a male, right, maybe let you have a
little bit of dump out of the carton of milk
that's there for other reasons. That's okay, coffee, but that
that milk can't be there as a cream.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
No, it's there for other reasons.

Speaker 1 (01:03:52):
It's whole milk, and it's whole milk, right, which I'm
just going back to just there for campus breakfast.

Speaker 2 (01:03:58):
Yeah, that's yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
And you go, well, I can use it for this,
that's permissible, Okay, I myself will use a little creamer's here,
but not at camp never at camp never.

Speaker 3 (01:04:07):
All right, here's a gradient from black coffee to white
coffee kind of basically good.

Speaker 2 (01:04:11):
No, he would drink that.

Speaker 3 (01:04:13):
So when does it get embarrassing? Like when should you
be embarrassed for people to look at You can go
to five.

Speaker 2 (01:04:18):
You got to stop at four. Absolutely, I'll give you four.

Speaker 3 (01:04:21):
I've been embarrassed before. You know.

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
Nine is unacceptable is you're just drinking milk, that's.

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
Would you would you ever bring out creamer? I don't
recall you getting a creamer when we were at campoundse
did you?

Speaker 3 (01:04:31):
I didn't, just cause but that I normally.

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
Done a lot, but not at camp house.

Speaker 3 (01:04:36):
I usually carry.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
It, but not at camp house. Did you feel like
you can't at campound your dump little.

Speaker 2 (01:04:42):
Milk in it? Fine?

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
Yeah, just there's just something about a guy in Camo,
you know, And and there's a guy there's like a
rifle laying over here, and and He's like, you know,
there's this, there's his rubber boots next to him. He's
gonna put on on the car port because I'd really
appreciate I you wouldn put him on in here, Wingo.

Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
And I think I put my eye inside too, right,
I saw the evidence of that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
But the so but I just can't see that guy
turning around, you know, scar down the.

Speaker 2 (01:05:12):
Side of said.

Speaker 1 (01:05:13):
Yeah, he's got a car down the side of his face,
and he's got you don't have creamer. He has a
whole lot of other factors, not just being at camp pass.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
I mean when you're rich wing that's right, rich Wingo
didn't ask for a creamer. No he didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
And especially standing in the kitchen of camp house. Yeah,
and unraveling a bag for no reason. We got it
over here there it is, get in it. It's in
the container. You're a little touch on that. Well, I
don't understand why we would not use the containers, right,
that's you jump into container and says coffee.

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
So that's where you're gonna leave the salt and pepper shaker. Seriously,
but you're not.

Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
No, No, that's that's some rumor. Absolutely, pull the put
pulled the side by side up. Don't leave it on
a driveway, pulled it in the car board? Yeah, that
one on the concrete, you don't mind? Is that two
wheels on the concrete, two in the gravel.

Speaker 3 (01:05:59):
Seriously, so Rick, this is is this your thought process?
Because this is concerning Yeah, he's a little you r
O C D. No goodness, are you what a little bit?

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
Are you serious? I don't see that that one there.

Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
Gary had a good point about where you put the
trash bags box and to me, it should be down
You put it up. You have to me it should
be down in. Okay, so you put it up.

Speaker 2 (01:06:27):
You're the one that put it under sink.

Speaker 3 (01:06:28):
No, but I heard you.

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
Did you put it under the sink?

Speaker 12 (01:06:30):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:06:31):
Because you're talking about it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
I wanted an eye level. This goes well, you don't
get your camp house.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
Well, Rick, you so you take trash bags, mugs, not
where mugs go in we're limin and foil goes that
goes in the bottom, goes under the sink.

Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
With all that, you don't know what's down there.

Speaker 3 (01:06:54):
Not under the sink, just in a drawer down below.

Speaker 1 (01:06:57):
So you're not going over to get aluminum. Foil goes
into pantry at a low level. No, it's it's it's
eye level at camp house, right next to the trash bag.

Speaker 3 (01:07:06):
So is everything at eye level? You're just gonna have
everything at eye level?

Speaker 7 (01:07:09):
Gain?

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
Why why would I not? If I can? Where do
you put paper plate? Right? I put eye level?

Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:07:14):
Rick, they're down over the loom and oh my goodness.

Speaker 3 (01:07:15):
Rick, are your cabinets emptying down below? And everything's full.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
Of high Yes, I don't even use it down below.
What's gonna happen when all of a sudden you're too
old to get down there and they can't even have
you can't have anything.

Speaker 3 (01:07:26):
Well, when that time comes you can address that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
Or will Smith's wife can come over and have you
what she's gonna do.

Speaker 1 (01:07:31):
I just don't think. I think this OCD thing. I
don't know where else coming.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
I don't know why. That's obviously bogus.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
It seems to have Can I tell where the garbage
bags are? Now that I've been to camp house, they're
back at eye level?

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
They go under the same.

Speaker 3 (01:07:43):
Eye level is insane.

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
You almost have to get down to your hands and
knees to get down there where they go. That didn't
even make sense.

Speaker 3 (01:07:48):
You have them near the trash can, so that you're
just right there in that area doing your thing.

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
Why trash cans over on the other side.

Speaker 3 (01:07:54):
Oh that's insane. Now that's getting crazy.

Speaker 5 (01:07:57):
This is the Rick Burgess ship.

Speaker 1 (01:08:05):
By the way, I've noticed too, Greg, with you being
on speedies mic and you know, his mic and my
mic a lot better. Actually have the what your mike needs.
You sound a lot better. Oh yeah, it's huge different. Yeah,
so anybody talk with Tom? When when is that thing
coming in? We got to get Greg's mike, right, you're
on the tax you say, what Lisa's.

Speaker 2 (01:08:25):
And what did Lisa? All right? She send us on
the text she's taking a picture of the tree. Oh
here it is. Look at there, he says.

Speaker 1 (01:08:32):
Happy Christmas Friday. Happy Christmas Friday, Lisa.

Speaker 2 (01:08:36):
She says. She calls the tree big girl. By the way, Yeah,
she said, look at big girl. All it up? Look
anymore and look at that beautiful tree. That's a begging said,
you know what I do? Why?

Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
I don't know why it has to move? Let Christmas
come in?

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
Okay, Well it looks like that's what we're trying to do.
What's wrong with that girl? Well, let's just go with it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
What Like I told you the other day, don't look
a gift to a tree in the mouth. I notice, though,
she quit plugging up the gar carland that goes up
around the rails.

Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
I don't know if you remember all that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:03):
She quit plugging it up, So that may mean we're
gonna get that. Oh no, you our little pieces come
down one at a time. Yeah, well you know what,
I don't mind that. Yeah, no, that's not a bad
way to do it. But I'm telling you, if you
would leave them alone, you you missed one round of
putting it up. In another round, Now that is a
great argument. Yeah, I just feel like a loser.

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
Why are you fucking loser?

Speaker 1 (01:09:22):
Well, I mean I've always made fun of people. There's
a guy I used to work with him one time.
He was it was like the end of February and
he was talking about that they need to get to
treated down. I made fun of him for about an hour.
Oh oyah, I thought back.

Speaker 2 (01:09:34):
I was thinking, can it? Can it be confusing through
the green kits?

Speaker 11 (01:09:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
Now that Papa le how come you still got Christmas up? Yeah? Well,
I know the three older ones might pick it up.
Is Santa Claus coming again, Papa, I'll see, yeah, I
thought about that. Get their hopes up right.

Speaker 3 (01:09:49):
This is crazy, though, I mean, this is not like
Lisa to do this.

Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
No, she was normally honestly.

Speaker 1 (01:09:56):
One time, I think on Christmas afternoon she wanted to
start taking stuff down one time.

Speaker 3 (01:10:00):
What's going on? I mean she depressed.

Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
I mean, put so much into it this year, and
she got it up.

Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
She's like, I kind of like the way that looks
so because great coast of Christmas Eve.

Speaker 1 (01:10:11):
And well Lisa did, yeah, Greg was you know, did
whatever she needed to do to get ready, and you
did a good job. She was outstanding. How did you
like that mulch outside? I thought it was fantastic. I
never noticed it, but you made me come look.

Speaker 2 (01:10:23):
At it after all that. Why is a Christmas tree
look like it's hot? Papa july Son, Well, anyway it look,
I say, leave it up.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
But how about this, Lisa. You don't let anybody tell
you to take that down. Leave it as as long
as you want to.

Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
Girl. Did you leave it up for us?

Speaker 10 (01:10:47):
Lee?

Speaker 7 (01:10:47):
Lee?

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
Yes? I did. Children, We love you, Lee. Maybe we'll
hire out one of them. Santa Clauses. Come talk to
the kids.

Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
Well, tell what y'all becoming mister and missus claws.

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
I like it.

Speaker 3 (01:10:57):
You couldn't get a discount. I bet now they don't
have as much work.

Speaker 2 (01:11:00):
Right now, that's true, that's true. Where's our gifts at Papa? Okay,
believe gifts? Oh boy? All right, So Greg, I'm sorry
we're gonna have to hear from r. F K Junior again.

Speaker 1 (01:11:13):
Oh buddy, well this is you know, we're gonna have
a lot of him now that he's got this.

Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
Do he get approved or not?

Speaker 3 (01:11:17):
Not yet?

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
Process is starting.

Speaker 3 (01:11:20):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:11:20):
He goes off on Bernie Sanders and that's always fine.
Well that's good because Bernie was hollering at him. I
don't know who Bernie. Bernie is there behind the ones
I know what I would. All I have to do
is see the video of the Onesies thing.

Speaker 5 (01:11:32):
I go with him.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
I'm losing it, screaming are you behind the one?

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
So here goes r f K. And he's had enough.

Speaker 1 (01:11:41):
Uh, and I think we can understand him getting upset
with Bernie Sanders.

Speaker 3 (01:11:44):
So here here we go, and he's gonna he's gonna
change his story at the very end of this cliff.
It's gonna go from one thing to another. And Bernie
Sanders is full.

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
It's full of it.

Speaker 14 (01:11:56):
I'm gonna make America healthier in other countries in the world.

Speaker 11 (01:11:59):
Right now, will you guarantee do what every other major country.

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
That's a simple question.

Speaker 14 (01:12:05):
And by the way, you say, roniey, the you know,
the problem of corruption is not just in the federal agents,
is in Congress too. Almost all the members of this
panel are accepting, including yourself, are accepting millions of dollars
from the pharmaceutical industry protecting their interests.

Speaker 11 (01:12:24):
Oh, I thought that that would no the president like you.
I got millions, millions of contributions.

Speaker 2 (01:12:33):
They did not come from.

Speaker 11 (01:12:35):
The executives, not one nickel of pack money from the pharmaceuticals,
and they came.

Speaker 14 (01:12:39):
To twenty in twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
You were the single largest.

Speaker 11 (01:12:45):
Because I receive from minations from workers all over this country.

Speaker 2 (01:12:50):
Workers.

Speaker 11 (01:12:51):
You were this, not a nickel from corporate You were.

Speaker 14 (01:12:54):
The single largest pharmaceutical.

Speaker 11 (01:12:57):
Dollars from workers in five million, yeah, out of two
hundred million.

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
All right, Oh, so you finally admitted it right at
the end.

Speaker 3 (01:13:06):
Not a nickel. And then he said and then RK
says one point five million. He goes, yeah, out of
two hundred million.

Speaker 1 (01:13:12):
Yes, well so small percentage of the two hundred million,
but you see one nickel at one point five million.

Speaker 2 (01:13:18):
That's two different things.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
And he tried to change the story from the workers
of this country. That's who donated to me.

Speaker 1 (01:13:26):
Workers tell you, the workers have had enough of how
about how you keep looking after him?

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
That's why they voted for Trump Jill the Verne dweb.
All right, So here's Senator Mullen.

Speaker 5 (01:13:39):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:13:39):
And this is the thing that we talked about this
a good bit on the show, is that did he,
by the way, call back to Bernie.

Speaker 2 (01:13:45):
Do he claim Robbie?

Speaker 1 (01:13:46):
I think he tried to say, Bobby, okay, good It
sounds like you said, Robbie.

Speaker 2 (01:13:50):
He may have.

Speaker 1 (01:13:51):
But anyway, here's Senator Mullen and he we're talking about
you know, BRFK Junior and many others have tried to
point to this epidemic.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
And he's gonna say pandemic here.

Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
But is with the autism spectrum and that you know,
there's got to be some kind of insult out there.
This is not occurring genetically, as that's been pointed out
many times. You can't have a genetic epidemic so anyway,
here he is he's going to use the word pandemic,
but really probably the better word would be epidemic. But
so here he is talking about agreeing. I guess with

(01:14:27):
the RFK Junior that something is going on that has
to be changed.

Speaker 2 (01:14:31):
And here we go.

Speaker 15 (01:14:32):
Let's go back to this and say one, let's just
use the number of one in ten thousand your age.
Now we're a little bit different in age. I'm not
going to say, o, old Jr. But you look great
for your age. I will say that one in thirty
six that's not a pandemic than what is one in
thirty six and it used to be one in ten

(01:14:54):
thousand have autism? Now can any of you guys with
the straight face say that we shouldn't look at every
aspect to what we're putting in our kids, be it
from the food to the vaccines. One in thirty six
that scares the living daylights out of me. With six kids,
I could have thirty six grandkids.

Speaker 2 (01:15:16):
I'm just doing the math.

Speaker 15 (01:15:19):
I'm think when youngest of seven my kids are, my
family seems to be pretty active in that area, so
I'm not I'm not necessarily trying to be funny but
I'm being very serious.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
Guys.

Speaker 15 (01:15:29):
We should support the fact that Bobby's questioning that. He's
not saying he's against it. He's saying he's going to
question it and let the studies follow where they wear,
where they will. And God bless you for doing that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:15:40):
That's just now, there's nothing wrong with asking the question.
By the way, I didn't risee it with somebody on
the video coughing. I looked over to you like you
just coughing into mind.

Speaker 3 (01:15:50):
Greg.

Speaker 2 (01:15:50):
Yeah, I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:15:51):
First, your phone's going off. Now I just let it go,
but let it keep happening.

Speaker 2 (01:15:56):
You can barely hear it.

Speaker 3 (01:15:57):
It's fine.

Speaker 2 (01:15:58):
Is that your phone? I hear Papa.

Speaker 1 (01:16:00):
Yeah, okay, I'll be honest with the way Bobby Kennedy talks.
I mean, I think anything should be on there. Well
that's true, man, little caf don't sound nothing, I think, Greg.
Let's stick with the content. Okay, all right, so here
is a senator.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
Here we go. We're talking about the science.

Speaker 3 (01:16:14):
Okay, this was more hysterics.

Speaker 2 (01:16:17):
Okay, here we go.

Speaker 10 (01:16:18):
Because sometimes science is wrong. We make progress, we build
on the work, and we've become more successful. And when
you continue to so doubt about settled science.

Speaker 2 (01:16:33):
It makes it impossible for us to.

Speaker 1 (01:16:34):
Move forward settled science. I thought gender was settled science.

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
Yeah, that's an easy one.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
You're gonna lecture us about settled science if we're supposed
to accept science once we deem it settled. I would
disagree with what you're saying is settled. But I think
we all agreed that gender was settled. Yeah, And if
you're going to say that that's not settled, then I'm sorry.
You can't say any science is settled. That one's as

(01:17:02):
straightforward as you can get.

Speaker 10 (01:17:05):
So.

Speaker 2 (01:17:06):
But but see, that's that deal again.

Speaker 1 (01:17:08):
We were also told in the pandemic that many things
were settled that were not. We were told that man
made climate change is settled.

Speaker 2 (01:17:15):
It's not.

Speaker 1 (01:17:17):
So, you know, I just don't think the left has
any credibility on standing on top of the phrase settled
signs absolutely. I know when you think about the value
of things, and Greg, I've heard you ran on this
before and I can't argue against it.

Speaker 2 (01:17:37):
I think one of the more.

Speaker 1 (01:17:40):
Perplexing values is when people place a value on a painting,
a work of art.

Speaker 2 (01:17:46):
Yeah, trying to figure out and I know I'm not
I don't know enough about it.

Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
I know you'll say, well, i'll tell you what something's worth,
what somebody's willing to pay for it.

Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
True.

Speaker 1 (01:17:55):
True, And you find that out with your house. I
don't know if you've ever had this conversation before with people. Well,
I too what my house is worth, and they'll tell
you what it appraise for. But that's not what it's worth.
It's worth what somebody can pay. We'll pay for it. Now,
if you want to get a loan on your mortgage,
then the appraisal will help you want a second mortgage,
you know, an equity line off the equity you have
in the house. But when you sell your house, your

(01:18:16):
house is worth what people will pay for it. And
sometimes there has been cases when people offer more because
they want more than someone else.

Speaker 2 (01:18:24):
It's just like anything else. It goes up and down. Yeah,
sometimes it can work in your face. Yeah, but we have.

Speaker 1 (01:18:29):
This ongoing story, and this has been going on a while.
But you know, whether we understand how they value these
things or not. Van go original van goes are worth
a lot of money. And again, is he one of
these where they come am abstract or does he actually
do painting?

Speaker 2 (01:18:45):
He just he's got the ones. Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
The ones I can't handle are the ones that like
monkeys were throwing pain at it right now? Well, now
keep yeah, Van Go would would do some stuff like that.
But my grandchildren I think can do that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:58):
That's van Go Starry nine.

Speaker 1 (01:19:01):
I mean, I'm not prayer. I think the guy does
Alabama stuff does better than that.

Speaker 2 (01:19:05):
Excuse me, Daniel Moore?

Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
You think Daniel Moore, who painted the goal line stand
for the University of Alabama is a is a better
painter than Van God. If I had to buy a painting,
and those are my choices, I'm going with, Okay, with
Alabama guy. Okay, fine, Okay, Greg, that doesn't surprise me.
And I understand where you're coming from it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:24):
Just you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:19:26):
No, I know what you mean, Greg. You want something
that looks like what it is? Okay, that's a little better.

Speaker 2 (01:19:31):
Yes? Is that one that's a.

Speaker 3 (01:19:32):
Van Go that's self portrait? So kind of?

Speaker 1 (01:19:35):
I mean, have you seen this one in Minnesota? So
there was a painting that was bought at a garage
cell in Minnesota. It was previously unknown portrait by Dutch artists.
They believe Vincent van Go according to a newly published
expert analysis.

Speaker 2 (01:19:51):
And I want you to think about this.

Speaker 1 (01:19:53):
You go in Minnesota to a dog on garage cell
and you buy a van go and you don't even
know it. Okay, but people are now saying that they believe.
And you remember this, He had some issues that Van
god did this during his stay at a psychiatric hospital
in south of France in eighteen eighty nine.

Speaker 2 (01:20:11):
Didn't hey wag his ear off or something? Yes he did,
he did, Greg.

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
They usually don't report it that way in history, but
they should because that's what he did.

Speaker 2 (01:20:20):
So he commissioned this here. Yeah, they commissioned.

Speaker 1 (01:20:24):
An art research group, an international group, to analyze the canvas, weave,
the paint, pigment, and other characteristics acquired by an antique
collector in twenty sixteen. The painting does bear an an
inscription of the word Elamar in the bottom right hand corner.

(01:20:44):
And they talked about how measures and all this. So
they also found a hair embedded in the canvas. They
sent it to be analyzed. They're looking to see what
they were trying to do with that is, say, we
have DNA, we have some of Van Goeh's families.

Speaker 2 (01:20:59):
D let's see if this matches that DNA.

Speaker 1 (01:21:02):
But unfortunately they said the hair eye I didn't realize
that hair could be too old or something and.

Speaker 2 (01:21:08):
Didn't go live a long time ago. Also said there
was a piece of an ear on it. Thin.

Speaker 1 (01:21:13):
They didn't say that his right, but they said it
was a human male. But they couldn't match the DNA
to Van Go because they said it was in such
a degraded state. However, they are using modern day science
and technology and they're saying that they continue to do

(01:21:34):
what they think is enough. But they said the painting
still needs to be attributed to Van Go by the
Vang Museum in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. The museum had
refused to attribute it to Van Go when approached by
the owner who had it in twenty eighteen. However, this
global bunch they got it in twenty nineteen. They are

(01:21:55):
confident that it is genuine. Still has it been made official?

Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
How much is it gonna be worth?

Speaker 1 (01:22:02):
It doesn't say a lot, it says it's well known
that Van Goh lost many of his works, gave away
the works to friends, was not particularly careful about any
work he considered a study, of which there were many,
meaning he never saw value to his painting, like they
would go on to be so he'd give them out,
give them away, lose them. And so they're saying painting

(01:22:26):
he had two psychotic episodes. Yeah, they think it was
caused by alcohol, withdrawal following and all that.

Speaker 2 (01:22:34):
And those pictures looked like a drunk pain in them, right,
thank you, Greg.

Speaker 1 (01:22:38):
That's usually what, not what people say about his artistic ability.

Speaker 3 (01:22:41):
I was reading that the at the garage sale it
was bought for fifty bucks, and if it is a
legitimate van Go, it could be worth fifteen million.

Speaker 2 (01:22:49):
That is correct. Whoa, whoa.

Speaker 3 (01:22:53):
That would never happen to me.

Speaker 2 (01:22:54):
That's quite a fifty dollars investment.

Speaker 1 (01:22:56):
It never happened, never happened. Here's what would happen to me.
I would pay fifteen million to be total's worth fifty dollars. Yes,
I'm sorry, that is not the monaly. That's how will
go for me. Would you think you got a van Go? Yeah,
I pay fifteen million for it. That's not a Van
Govan Go. Larry k Martin local local. That was a

(01:23:23):
local humor, but it was good. We'll be back.

Speaker 2 (01:23:26):
More of the Rick Burgess Show coming up.

Speaker 5 (01:23:27):
Next, this is the Rick Burgess show.

Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
They're saying that the irises, Greg, course you're familiar with
that one sold for fourteen million dollars at auction, So
that gives you kind of idea where his paintings are.
Good night, fourteen million dollars and an auction. Greg just
went on record, I'd rather have the dogs playing poker.

Speaker 2 (01:23:55):
Yeah, that's a that's a classic. That's hard that as
a class.

Speaker 1 (01:24:02):
And you say it is art because it actually looks
like dogs. Yeah, it looks the.

Speaker 2 (01:24:07):
Car.

Speaker 3 (01:24:08):
Right, you know, this art world is it is.

Speaker 1 (01:24:13):
Look at how they use their colors, y'all right, it's important.

Speaker 3 (01:24:18):
The there's a lot of talk about how it's one
of the least regulated areas and how you can buy
a piece of art for say one hundred thousand dollars
and then you can get it reappraised and now it's
worth you know, four million, and then you can donate
that to a museum and then you have a four

(01:24:40):
hundred or a four million dollar right off. So you
can see how they just created They just created a
four million dollar right off for their rich friends as
they you know.

Speaker 2 (01:24:51):
Wow, look at you, this is like outside the ring.

Speaker 1 (01:24:53):
But yeah, Yeah, even though he was a dark side
of the rings.

Speaker 2 (01:24:58):
Right, you're right.

Speaker 1 (01:24:59):
Even though it was a talented cat, he's one of
the many that like his his art didn't really produce
any value to He was like fifty years dead.

Speaker 3 (01:25:08):
Yeah, and he dieing like a gutter or something.

Speaker 2 (01:25:11):
It was bad. Yeah, actually you got him in a gutter.

Speaker 3 (01:25:14):
He died in the gutter.

Speaker 2 (01:25:15):
I think you're talking about it.

Speaker 3 (01:25:18):
That's probably what it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:19):
It's different. Yeah, that was a weird dude boy. Yeah,
went a painter. But was it poet? If the ravens
quoting anything? He gets some help, Traine get some help.
And I told I told Greg so when I was
hot rocking DJ. Yeah, you may have heard of it.
You may have heard of it.

Speaker 3 (01:25:37):
You know, gosh what van Go is depression. He shot
himself in the chest with a revolver.

the Van Go experience. I remember when that came.

Speaker 2 (01:26:02):

Because she wanted to? I mean, what is why is
your Christmas decoration still the same thing? Okay, all right,
we're not.

Speaker 3 (01:26:11):
And I didn't know how it was going to be.
And I was able to stay for a total of
ten minutes because it was this weird like room that
was filled with projectors. Rick, you went to I went to.

Speaker 2 (01:26:25):
I thought the kids wanted to say.

Speaker 3 (01:26:26):
That the projectors were shining everywhere. So you were like
in the point and take small kids to know that
was a mistake.

Speaker 2 (01:26:33):
Seriously, it's not see y'all going. I didn't know what
this guy's thinking.

Speaker 3 (01:26:40):

Speaker 1 (01:27:50):
Yeah, today I was grown great. Yeah, but I know
I read about Van Goh it was fascinating and care one.
My wife and I sat there in the beauty of
his art and we gazed in each other's eyes. The
only thing more beautiful than the blues he used were
the blues in my wife's.

Speaker 2 (01:28:06):
So you're trying to divert from how you really feel. Greg.
Everybody knows why I was there. I know, I know

night before you couldn't sleep.

Speaker 2 (01:29:36):
Greg, I'm quite artistic.

Speaker 1 (01:29:38):
I'm quiet.

Speaker 2 (01:29:39):
I can't quit think about it. I mean, Greg, I'm
quite archie. Yeah, I didn't know about that.

Speaker 1 (01:29:42):
A lot of you know, people see me as you know,
being kind of having this kind of depth.

Speaker 2 (01:29:47):
People don't know about it.

Speaker 1 (01:29:48):
But the so do you remember I've heard the song
Vincent by Don McLean.

Speaker 2 (01:29:54):
It's a little weird adler.

Speaker 3 (01:29:56):
I don't think I know those picture.

Speaker 1 (01:29:59):
I'm working in AM radio, so that's already uplifting, okay.
And I'm doing afternoon studio before.

Speaker 2 (01:30:06):
Talk radio would end all music AM radio.

Speaker 1 (01:30:09):
And it's a dreary day, like like we're experiencing and
where we are now, And I just look over and
I'm like this, this Donald mcclan guy ever have another hit?
And I see that they have for me to play
another option Vincent. I spend that does here about Vince
the American Pie Guy? I mean, he can throw this down.
And that song started and I'm alone in an am

(01:30:31):
studio just started out with.

Speaker 2 (01:30:34):
And I was like, oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (01:30:36):
And you talk about pressing, Oh, here you go, storry,
starry night.

Speaker 11 (01:30:46):
The.

Speaker 2 (01:30:49):
Gout on. Try that on a radio, sitting yourself.

Speaker 3 (01:30:54):
The darkness and my soul?

Speaker 2 (01:30:55):
Is it long?

Speaker 1 (01:30:57):
It is very long?

Speaker 2 (01:30:58):
Seven minutes? Non? He not to do a three minutes?
So it was.

Speaker 1 (01:31:02):
And I remember sitting there and get that part and on.

Speaker 2 (01:31:07):
That story story you took your life like off in
lover and I'm like, this has got an end. When
is this song over?

Speaker 1 (01:31:14):
And so it's it's not the most it's not the
most uplifting.

Speaker 5 (01:31:20):
And it's.

Speaker 2 (01:31:23):
Do you see what I mean. I'm already sitting here
questioning in my life, if you have a hot video
for like a ball team, they're not going to use that.

Speaker 10 (01:31:29):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:31:29):
I'm already thinking, Am I on the right road? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:31:34):
