Speaker 2 (00:16):
You may remember the shoe thrower, the man who threw
a shoe at George Bush Bagdad. Uh, well, he's had
the shoe put on the other foot, so to speak.
Someone threw a shoe at him.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
A press.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Of course, we don't know what these people are saying,
right it could we could be cursing an Iranian.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Oh wow, he come back. I didn't know he came
back to He has one of his buddies. It was mad.
Here it is again, well Freeze's face right.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Well the bad throw there.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Can I tell you what. The throwing of the shoes
have not been that good.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well watch this guy right here.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Okay, he's letting it go to what he's gonna He's
gonna start taking a shoe off. Look he's taking his
Oh he's gonna slap him with and look here he's laughing.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Look well he hit that poor girl right in the head.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
I tell you what.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
So this is this is an act of shame to
hit somebody with a shoe.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Well, I tell you what shameful is the tossing on
some of these shoes. I ain't get anybody yet.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
I'd like to over there. Let me see if I
can get you with my shoe. I think I can.
By the way, it looks like Greg. Is there that
guy standing up? I think it is.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
He was in France at a press conference.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
He was a national hero in Iraq after hurling his
footwear at then US President George Bush. He was speaking
at a press conference to promote his campaign for victims
of the Iraq War when a man threw a shoe
at him.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
And what was that guy that Bush did?

Speaker 2 (01:50):
In the rock and all that? The attacker was an
exiled Iraqi journalist who spoke in defense of US policy
and accused this guy of with an evil dictator.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Gregg Okay, I agree with that guy.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
That apparently apparently this. Uh, you don't just run up
in a rack and slug somebody. You got to get
your shoe off and speedy. I'll give you credit. You
brought up a great point. You go to a press conference,
a lot of people there. You probably had to park
a long way away. You go in, you cause a
commotion by throwing your shoe, and then you got a

(02:23):
limp pome.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, I mean, I mean what do you do?

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Do you go through your closet and just find like
old shoes and just grab one and throw it in
your briefcase.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
And down looking for shoes in your pocket at the door.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
Right, he's got a shoestupside because if you take off
the shoe you're wearing, you've made the decision.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
I'm done with these shoes, right.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
I mean laining outside. Some of these are high price
and knocking you balance stuff and there's something, there's something
what they're gonna do. Put a warning on the box
you right throw, don't throw, and you are warning this
could this device could be thrown at.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
You could be a hurled yep. If you're in the
Middle Eastern country, what it is? You go in there?
You throw? You coug at them?

Speaker 2 (02:58):
You don't throw you good sho Okay, you coogar lots.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
It looks like the second guy that's throwing it back
at him looks like he's got a.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Slipper on or something off got he got a box
of shoes or something. Look he took his shoe off.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
They have shoes like.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
We have like a wallet, And I want to see
somebody throw a shoe with a little better arm on it,
quite frankly, And you know what, this is what soccer
gets you. They can't throw a thing.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
I like seeing pronate when he throws that and use
their hands and he knows when.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
I know it, I know it. Not one shoe has landed,
you know, really, quite frankly, you see a shoe coming,
it's end over end. It's not going that fast. Yeah,
you can't get a lot on it. I think it's
a bad thing to throw you up a great point.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah, that's not a good throwing. No, no, what if
he just laid it down and kicked it to throw
an apple? I mean to throw food. I got a ba.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
They want you to keep your shoe on and kick
him in the head with it. What about that?

Speaker 3 (03:51):
I think that's a lot more fact.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
How about walk up to him and open handslap it.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
How about this?

Speaker 4 (03:55):
If you're a soccer loving country, shouldn't you kick your
shoe at him, use your foot and zipping at him.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Let's look at this thing here.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Yeah, that's that's a pretty heavy duty ship.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
That is that looks like I'm gonna tell you throw
it in over in. You don't have any control. Everybody's ducking.
It showed me where somebody's getting hit.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Well, they don't have a lot of styling.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Frankly, they've had more luck throwing a pie at Bill Gates.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah, I mean that was like that. That's I mean,
they're like to see them ty it better. How about this?

Speaker 2 (04:21):
They're way behind us and we've moved forward on Shoot,
it looks like that playing tar fascion out of shoe,
the bubble, the spring on the hill.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Well, he was high too, he hit He.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Hit high quite Frankly, that guy through his at Bush
a lot better. You sure hate to give that to him,
But Bush was quicker. This guy was later to react.
I'd love to see Bush pick it up and just
waial it. Let me tell you something if if I
mean just heat. If I was the leader of.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
The free world, which is why I probably would never
be allowed to be, we would have an international incident
when I got through that shoe at make absolutely secret
Service would have been in the car going well, President, Wow.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
We won't have any more of that. If I would
have shot the guy that.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
How about this, I would have dove in the air
and landed on him and took him to the in
my suit with with my presidential steal.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Long.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, Look the security guys, I mean they're all.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Messed, by the way, what think of that story?

Speaker 4 (05:14):
President Burgess got into a fisticuff today when an Iraq
journalists through it.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Wouldn't that be a great style?

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (05:20):
And you know what, I would be one of the
most popular presidents ever.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Sure, sure that that's all you'd have to show, is
that footage for you to be re elected?

Speaker 4 (05:28):
You're true, that's true. Everybody know how serious in the
war on terror? By the way, I mean billy clubs,
did they have shoes?

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (05:36):
You know what President Burgers said, he's serious about terrace.
He popped a cap in one. Look, don't don't throw
shoes at him, right man, this got through shoe at him.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
He took one of the Secret Service and guns and
then popped the cap in.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
And you know what, you wouldn't have another thrower after.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
That, right, And they had a new rule after that
in Iraq, don't throw shoes at President Burgess. Yeah, so
I'm gonna throw you, I wouldn't you?

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:03):
So anyway, so.

Speaker 4 (06:04):

gonna be the Iranian and racky accent.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Now that you that's all you got, real, that's all
you got.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
If you look at the foodage and if and if
you remember the footage of him throwing, they all throw
like girls offence lady. Let me you know what I'm saying.
They lead with their elbow and you can't do it.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
I'm a president Bush though. Back when it goes back
to playing soccer, they don't know how to use their hands.
I don't know how to throw a ball.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
No, they don't square up their shoulders, t being twist.
Everybody knows that.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Some wonder they can even eat with their hands and
never use them.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Bruisers.

I thought he thought he was hall somewhere, I would
tell it. Go on on the south side.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Throw it at the glass. It's bullet.

A hush has come across the plasm because one of
our mac Apple products is broken. And a hush has
gripped the broadcast plastic. We we've we don't we see
that so so little. We don't even know how to
respond to it.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
And Tom Scott, the engineer, he is, he doesn't like
the fact that we're down one computer, but he is
just giddy as all get out.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
He look and he started talking to me about.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
Tom don't mean that his life be a lot simpler
if his if his whole world turned to mac.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
He started to tell, hey, is it true that Apple
has boycotted Glenn back because of Glenn's stance? You know,
I heard a story and I was going to follow
up on it and rag bubba about it, but I
haven't heard any more about it.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
But there was some noise about it going around. Bubba,
you know much about that? I know nothing about it.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Okay, well, look Bubba had to go through this when
Steve Jobs got in bed with it, We got in
bed with Al Gore. Look, if you want to know
how Mac and Apple people usually act politically, you just
go back about you know, six seven years ago, and
here Bubba making fun of him on old shows.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
Oh yeah, I mean, I mean, I mean that part
of it we've always know.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
And again, I mean, let's be honest. If you if
you really think we have a problem with global warming
and generating electricity, we do? You just cut all from
Peters off. I don't think Steve Jobs would be for that. No,
I don't need to know. It's you know, it's like
if I'm you know, and again like if I'm running racing.
Let's say I run NASCAR and I talk about gold

(11:13):
and green? Well, what a joke?

Speaker 4 (11:14):
Let me.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Well, and the bottom line is this the way we
do our business?

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Josh mcguson, whatever, Yeah, what about this the way we
do our business? The Mac products have served us better
than the Microsoft products in the subject now they perfect, No,

Speaker 2 (11:42):
You know, Hey, let's face it, throw a bunch of

the whole lot, just like he pulled the handle off
in the bathroom. We ever going to decide to pull
the handle off the bat It's it's.

what if you fail trying to and it's like and
you went in and you saw the rail that you

A story out of New York. A diner at TGI
Friday's in upstate New York says it got a little
something extra with a broccoli, A severed snake head, severed
snaked Wait a minute, Jack Pendleton. Jack Pendleton says he
was at a restaurant in Clifton Park on Sunday when
he spotted something gray mixed in his veggies. He realized

(14:31):
it was a snakehead the size of his thumb with
part of the spine still attached. Pendleton says he snapped
a photo with his cell phone camera and called the
waiter over. He says he has no plans to suit. Okay,
so that does okay, may be out. A spokesperson, Carlton,
Texas Chain says it's investigating. It wasn't immediately known what

(14:52):
kind of snake it was. Pendleton is a girlfriend. Weren't
charged for their meals? Well, oh thank you.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
They gave him a you meal later you get again,
you get a coupon on that one. But let me
ask you this, all right, Number one? Was the snake
cooked all right? I mean, if it came in the o,
it was it raw? But since he's not sue and
it may be legit. And what about these people fingers
every time they plant the finger.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
That she absolutely did.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
There's been several that have been scammed.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
And where did you get it?

Speaker 4 (15:22):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (15:22):
But you know, really, on the big picture of things,
nobody wants that to happen.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
I got to know.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
But these plants, I'm mean, have giant plants that process
this food. I know, you're going to get some things
in there that shouldn't be in.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
There, and I'm gonna I'm gonna guess in your case,
this is your number one?

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Here, well, a snakehead.

Speaker 2 (15:39):

Speaker 2 (15:43):
You't even notice I asked for snake when I have soushi.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
You would have eaten it. If it was at a
sushi bar.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
I might not have eaten the head. Uh, you know,
I try to get the meat off the.

Speaker 4 (15:52):

rent gracious I got.

where people have done things that that you could see.

Speaker 3 (16:33):

debit card and he started digging all up in his
nose with his card and playing around with my card,
and I said, hey, hey, pl hey, you want to
run that through some water or something for your hand

a criminal, though they're they're some of that stuff is
easy to trace.

Can I tell you what though?

Speaker 4 (17:28):
You know, I mean one time, honestly though, I mean,
it always feels good if someone someone that stole one
of our cards. We didn't catch it for a while,
and we didn't even complain because when the bill came in,
he'd spent less on it than we did. Hey, I'm
I got one time, and I don't know how they
I didn't lose my card or anything. But that's a
good point. But then I, you know, I had that
guilty look on my face because this listen to the

Speaker 2 (18:26):
But you know, I'm time when you got that stupid.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
But I mean it looked terrible.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Didn't hurt your knee that But anyway, they ended up
clearing it off my car.

Speaker 2 (18:34):

Well it looks uh, there's ways around it. I tell you.
One of the things, uh orthopedic if you don't want
them to have your card number in your address and
a lot of times in stores you sign up for
mail outs, get on their mailing list and all that.
If they get your number and your zip code, that
can order thing they got you. And uh, you know

(19:06):
that's thank goodness that there. You know. I know there's
a lot of fraud in that, but a lot of
it is caught and busted. I mean, they can trace it,
they can trace to the store it went to. They
you know, it's just a manpower issue a lot of
times to get into it. We've been through it too,
and it's a pain because you have to start over.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Well, let me tell you this.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
If you want to set off alarms with people that
you you know, we don't have an American Express and

at home when she left and went to work.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
And I'm gonna get you.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah, I know, I know these changes probably do a
pretty good business. But you know, when I think about
a getaway, you know, when you think about the great robbers,
you know, the the Dylan's and the James and all that.
I mean, you know, they went after banks, they went
after armored cars. You know, they went after gold supplies.

(23:33):
I just I don't know, maybe it's me. Maybe I
haven't read you know, Muggers Weekly. I don't know, but
I just don't see fast food. I mean, I know
there's a lot of cash, but it's it has to
be nickel and dime stuff. I mean really on the big.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Picture, right, I mean, you hate to say, it's a
terrible thing to say, but if you want to go
where there's a where there's a you know, a cash
rested full of cash, go knock off the Hooters. I mean,
I mean you got to tackle them girls to get
them tips. But very funny, right right, Well, they're they're
toting that little tip thing.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Have you noticed there's that There seems to be a
process scary words, when somebody you when somebody and you
comes off the show and I went through this, I
saw Speedy go through this, I saw don One, I've
seen Greg. Where you start out in your bashful yeah,
because you don't know when you're and then and then
you get life. But then you get a few, you

(24:25):
get a few zingers in there, and you get a
little confidence, you know, and then you're kind of like
that kid driving when he's eighteen. Yes, and then and
then after you know, have a few wrecks, you pull
back a little bit, you go ay, you know, I
don't want to deal with that today. That judge told
me if he sees me again, he's not gonna be some.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
Nice the but uh yeah, when you're talking about that,
I know, I get you. But that particular restaurant you got, admit,
that's the scary word was completely.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
Over my head.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
And right after that word, you didn't say yesterday, which
I heard again, I got it.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
I didn't say, uh the Also, this guy's make some
great you know, his girlfriends give him a lot of
great advice because she's twenty two and unmarried and has
twins and a two year old, so you know that
there's some common sense she doesn't know how to use.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
I'm guessing she was the brains behind this out, I
really do. Could you stay in it when they're leaving?

Speaker 4 (25:20):
Do you reckon they ordered? When they took their order,
did they go, hey, we got a gun. We want

Speaker 5 (26:03):

Speaker 3 (26:37):
I got you on my ma. Can't even get you
to sing I did Terry not for you?

Speaker 4 (26:44):
Now, Speedy, you said one of the things that that
really that really can be intimidating on your anniversary, especially
when it falls during the week because it gets confusing, right,
you know, you try to talk to your wife, why
don't we move to the nearest weekend and we'll do
something nice. And what you're really saying is, sa, hey,
take that pressure off of me when I got to
do my normal week, right and uh, and you know, let's.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Back up and talk about how it all got started.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
Well, you know, Speedy.

Speaker 4 (27:04):
You know, as we know on the program, really there's
two women that the women who listen to this audience
marvel at, and that is Lisa Burgess, who's married to Greg,
and Terry Wilburn, who's married to Speedy. Because you know,
it's almost like you know that they were both you know,
bucking bronx that no one thought could.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
Be broken, you know, and and Terry was the cowgirl
to do it.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
And these were the women who brought them into myrrital
Bliss and they've just been incredibly happily married.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
And the lady that got Speedy to take the cap off,
that's right, that's right, that's her.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
She's the one that gave you the confidence to walk
around bald, that's right.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
And you know I knew when she walked into the
studio that day, and I believe it was on Valentine's
wearing a gorilla outfit. Y'all had something special.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
I knew as soon as I saw those eyes ads
ear And what did you tell.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
Her she needed to buy right after? Y'all meant some
knee pads. And the reason was because she fell in
love so hard.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
And it worked.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Say what you want to romantic depth, So that's the
one you went with.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
I said it with a grin.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Now she understood, right, Well you know what ten years said? Hey,
you were right, right, that's right.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
You can't believe it.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
So you know, So it's anniversary day and and you
knowing to anticipate that.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
By the way, yeah, well you know when somethings frozen off,
it takes some time too. It has to die, then
the skin has to fall off. This horrifying watching that
take place in front of our eyes.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
It's good you tried where you carry it off by
an eagle.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
You know we'll cover you know what. I look at
this and almost take myself. I'd almost read the head skin.

Speaker 2 (28:42):

Speaker 2 (28:54):

Speaker 1 (29:05):
My parents were in town the other day and my
mom even brought up what you got planned for Thursday?

Speaker 3 (29:10):
And I said, I said Thursday.

Speaker 7 (29:12):
You said, we gotta yeah, we do a little background
and uh and I said why, I don't know Thursday?

Speaker 1 (29:22):
And she said, what's your anniversary? And I'm, oh, I
know that, you know, yeah, we got a game. So
I wake up to this this tin box sitting on
the kitchen counter and and a little note that said
happy anniversary, baby, I've been thinking about you and even

(29:47):
said I love you.

Speaker 5 (29:49):
Mom's around you.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
And I walked back in and saw her asleep, and
I went, no, I gotta get to work. Yeah, so
I take a second shower running, and I said, well,
I just you know, she left me a nice car. Yeah,
she would have gotten mad if she knew I was
letting the shower run. But I was like, she's asleep.

(30:12):
And doesn't know that the hot water's being wasted. So
I'm gonna sit here and I'm gonna read it, and
it says, so here it is already ten years.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
You're reading the letter, and why.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
It's flown by?

Speaker 2 (30:23):
She said.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
When I was thinking about our anniversary, my first thought was, Hey,
why an't we back in Jamaica. But then I realized, hey,
we got three kids. You know that's a little tough
to pull off, and so she said.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
My second thought was what do I get?

Speaker 2 (30:38):
What do I get? My honey? That's what she called.
I'm sorry, Yeah, she.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Said, So I started googling ten year anniversary ideas and
found the customary gift was was ten and the flower
was daffodil.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Okay, you're messing this up. I'm just thinking how good
she's doing here. You can't you can't get nice.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
She's she's going to be the monsters and a diamond.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
Enough, she said, there wasn't anything ten that I could
think of that you would like. So, but we did
have some daffodils coming up in the yard, she said,
how about that?

Speaker 3 (31:12):
So she really thought this through, she.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Said, So, since I couldn't think of anything ten, I
started thinking about our marriage in the past ten years
and what our marriage meant to me.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
She said.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
So I found this tin box and filled it with
things that came to mind.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
I love you dearly.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
So she so I read this Shaw was still running, okay,
And so I opened the box. All right, I'm thinking,
what is this? This is something going to hop out,
you know. And then it took me a time to
open it, kind of like it does now.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
So I was gonna wake up. My gosh, there's all
kinds of things in there.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
And first she had a cross. Okay, oh, she said,
home run. I don't know what to do, she said,
the cross, she says, thank you, She said, thank you
for bringing me back to my walk with Christ and
being a godly father, an example for the boys.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Okay, have you even got in a card yet? Oh?

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Boy. Then she had a little watch with a little
note this is all in the tin box. We will
be together till the end of time.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Oh my goodness, this is so romantic. I know.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
I'm about to cry. Not listening, she said, uh.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
And then she had a little picture of Goofy and
she said, thank you most for all of for you
putting me up with me being goofy in might a
little goofy ways.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Oh my gosh, i's throw back to like the goofy
little Valentine card, I'm goofy for you.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
Then she had and this is all in the tin box.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Then she had some like little play money here and stuff,
and she said thank you so much for being such
a great provider for the family.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Oh my goodness. And she has money.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
There's all sorts of.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Things and.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Then it goes into silly putty and says we have
been stretched and pulled in every direction and still come
back together.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Oh my gosh, oh yeah, keeps going.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
And then she has uh crap a trap and says,
even though crappy times were still together. Then she has
a daffad deal that she put in here a little
flower says it's the tenth anniversary.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
Flower keeps going, hold on, I'm only.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Son, Well get to break. Then she has a picture
of she has a little family deal. She says, family,
you have shown me how a true family sticks together
no matter what.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
My goodness. Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Then she has a band aid and you were the
best doctor, daddy, because all the kids always get hurt,
so they you know, it's like doctor did.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
Then she has a little Yeah, she has a little
she has.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
A little a little love, the doctor of Love.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
She has a little deal here it says love, and
it says you have my heart always in forever. And
then this is the one that got me, by the way,
this had got you so far as oh yet it has.
But then she has pictures of Tyler when he was
a little baby, and she says, what can I say
other than God knew exactly what and who who we needed.
She said, I'm so grateful that you accepted God's will

(33:57):
and that you have loved us unconditionally.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
Line and there's Tyler as a baby.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
I'm about to cry.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
I don't know what.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
We were headed to to go eat at a restaurant
that my mother thought was a little more a little
too upscale for a hat, because my dad wears a
hat all the time, right, So he's got the Rick
and Bubba hat on, and he's got a red golf
shirt and some shorts. And he says, well, honey, we're
at the beach. Nobody cares what you got on in
any restaurant. And and and I was airing to him,
I said, we all have on like Khaki shorts and shirts,

(34:31):
and I mean, it's it's a it's a pretty nice restaurant,
but it's just the beach. So they get into this
debate about hats, and so she says, well, you're not
wearing a hat. He says not yet, No I am.
And I'm like, oh no. So we start walking to
the restaurant. It's oh gosh, forty seven years so they're they're, they're,

(34:52):
they're in there, they're they're in this discussion so much
so they separate from the groups as we're walking to
the li a little exciting restaurant walking distance from the
from the beach house. So it's you know, it's you know,
it's it's a classic setup where you try to eat
somewhere that's within the walking dish, you have to pray
ark and like they got us reservation. So it's all good.

(35:13):
And and now they begin to distance themselves from the
crowd and and I'm like, wow, I'm real and comfortable.
And you know, then there's that look of your kids,
like Nana Pop get in arguments and you're like yeah, yeah,
And he said, I tell you what I'm wearing. Hat
and and of course at this point I know that
he's not gonna win because because he's dealing with a woman,
you know what I mean, right, and she's gonna eventually

(35:34):
let him know that if you may wear that hat,
but you're gonna wear it and be miserable, you know,
you know, to that point. So keep in mind, I
mean we Delilah got Samson to tell her that to
cut off his hair off because she wouldn't she just
wouldn't leave him alone, you know what I mean, She
wouldn't be quiet about it. You know, we always look
at that. You realize everything he kept telling her would work.
They tried, and she still was able to nag it out.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
Of it, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
So so so they're on there so finely.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
He he goes to remove the hat and I look,
and he's got the cardboard still in it, that that
you have when when you buy a hold in the front. Yeah,
And I said, Dad, what are you doing with the
cardboard still in that? He goes, Oh, you're supposed to
get a cardboard in it. Now, keep in mind. Let
let let let me tell you about my dad. Let
me look, Grace, let me tell you about my dad.

(36:20):
Let me tell you about my dad.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
What are y'all talking about I agree.

Speaker 4 (36:23):
Listen back, listen back, I agree, coach. When cigarettes first
had a warning on them, the first time they've made
cigarette owners take note, take put on there. Hey, these
could kill you. He he was smoking in those days,
and he doesn't. He doesn't smoke anymore. And he got
a pack of cigarettes. Now that my grandmother's gone into heaven,
I think I can say that now. So anyway, so

(36:45):
he and he said, well, look at that. They got
a warning on side saying these things are bad for you,
to which my mother replied, they all have that bill that's.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
My dad's name. He said, no, they don't.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
She said, it's on all of them. He said, don't.
That's not true.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
And she said, you mean to tell me you think
only certain cigarette packs have that warning on it. He said, no,
I know they don't. There and and and and this
is another beach outing. By the way, they all ended
up loading up in a car and going to a
store that's some cigarettes to show him that it was
on all cigarettes.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
And when they found it on all cigarettes, he said.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
He said, but that's just a store.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
So anyway, so I so I made the mistake of
saying that you're not supposed to wear the cardboard in
the hat. He said, now, yes, you are too, if
you want to look right, he said. He keeps the
shape that way, it doesn't get all get all flat.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
I've always thought your Dand's hats look good.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
Yeah, he knows how to do a hat.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:41):
And I said, so you think that that cardboard is
in it and that's the only way that the hat
will stay in shape. So that's how they make hats.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
So you got like truck or hat top.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
Oh, that's what he wants.

Speaker 4 (37:54):
You.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
I will say this in his defense.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
His hat was perfect, okay, and he had it and
he then he gets my hat. He was leading, righty hat,
He said, you done got yours already. I said, but
that when you sweat, does it not get on the cardboard?
I mean, he goes, no, it don't, bother man, So
that's where you wear a hat. You're supposed to keep
the cardboarding, I said.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
He don't like the flat bills either, does it?

Speaker 4 (38:17):
So then no, oh gosh no. So then he they
getting such an argument. On the way of the restaurant,
he stops at a tree. At a tree, a tree
that is that is lining the sidewalk. We're walking on,
removes his hat okay, puts it in a tree, stuffs
it in between some limbs, and says, what better be

(38:39):
the way when I get back if I lose my
hat over this?

Speaker 3 (38:42):
And he said, and and so then we wait a minute.

Speaker 4 (38:45):
Okay, stop And I said, I said that you're just
gonna leave it in the tree.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
He goes, I do stuff, I leave stuffing. I come
back and pick it up on the.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
Way, had in a tree, in a tree.

Speaker 4 (38:54):
And uh and and so he left the art he
left gave in he lets your mom make the crow.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Now, keep in mind that your hair usually looks good.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
Now, let's sen about his hair though. Don't miss this.
I think I said this the other day.

Speaker 4 (39:08):
Did I talk about on the air when he'd found
himself his own shower at the beach channel, so when
nobody else could use it because he has to set
his stuff up in a certain area. Yeah, because he
does everything the same since the sixties. Okay, everything the same,
So what's.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
Wrong with that?

Speaker 4 (39:24):
So look, I go in there, and I sneak in
to use that shower because they had the best water pressure.
And he don't know I'm in there, and I get
out and I look and he has the same brush
that from when I was a kid.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
I mean, I can dock hairbrush. I can document the
hair brush forty years. I can document forty to forty
five years. I can docum.

Speaker 4 (39:44):
Wow, the handle broke on it, and he wouldn't replace
it because it makes his hair the way he wants it.
Then he puts the hat on top of the hair,
so I don't know why it matters. So we walk
into the restaurant. So he's got his hair with his
I say, he's got a hat head.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
First thing.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
He says, guy's got a hat on in the restaurant.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
And he just looks at my mother and says, and
I look at he's got the most disgusting look. And
I said, if we don't stop him, he'll go back
to the tree.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Okay, say, yeah, here's the only question. Why don't you
stash it in a bush at the place. Then if
you see that, if you're wrong, you run out there
and get it and I'll.

Speaker 3 (40:17):
Forget the hats in the tree.

Speaker 4 (40:18):
Now, my mother's been married to him for nearly fifty years,
so she was the strategic and trying to turn up
her disagreement where he would leave it far enough away
couldn't go back and get it. And now my mother
didn't even check up when he put up in the tree.
Like that happens all the time.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
I hate to say, I think I'm more shocked that
he leaves a hat in a tree than the cardboard
in the hat.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
I'm amazed that he left the hat in the tree. Now,
I'll tell you what you mess.

Speaker 4 (40:40):
Was us trying to find it because it was dark
when we came out of the restaurant.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
Now on the way back to the restaurant here I
am climbing in trees.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
What was he saying about it?

Speaker 4 (40:49):
He said, I tell you what, my hat better be here.
If my hat's gone, he said, I'm gonna be furious.
And I said that I think I can get you
another ricking mumble hat. He goes, no, I want that hat.
That's my hat, and with.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
The cardboard in it.

Speaker 4 (40:59):
Praise God, we found entry getting.

Speaker 5 (41:02):
Bubba Rick getting Bubba.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
So we're at church and I'm we're talking.

Speaker 4 (41:07):
I'm talking to my wife about now we're gonna go
see her dad for Father's Day after church, and it
dawns on me that that we don't have We have
not packed to play clothes. And she said, well, let's
not go back home, let's just eat lunch and go on.
And I said, so I'm gonna be out there in
the summer heating sunday pants.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
You know, I'm not good.

Speaker 4 (41:25):
You know, I had you know, I mean it was casual,
but they were still long pants, you know what I mean. Yeah,
And so so you know, there's some discussion about that.
And so we get there and you know, everybody's playing
and you know it just celebrating. I'm thinking to myself,
what a great what a great Father's Day weekend, and
I'm just loving it. And and then all of a
sudden we go outside and we're playing and the kids

(41:47):
start getting on this tire swing, you know what I mean, and.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
Uh, well, kids will do that.

Speaker 4 (41:51):
Yeah, And the tire swing's kicking, and of course, you know,
anytime you're the biggest fellow there, you got to be
the guy that pulls her back back and slings them.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
On the the tire swing and hey big and push
the crate. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:02):
And we've gone and we've gone through the various things
of telling your kids over and over put your shoes on,
Well I don't I don't want to be barefooted. But yeah,
when you put your feet down that you're gonna tear
your feet up. And you know, sometimes kids are just stupid,
so they'll they won't listen. And of course you now
we're putting bandage on the bottom of feet where feet
have just been ripped shreds by people putting their feet
down on the tire swing right coming through rocks and

(42:22):
stumps that are sticking, just ripping feet and so you know,
blood's everywhere, and we're getting all that, and you know,
but you know, there's a lesson learned. You you kind
of I can't you kind of go back to the
the the uncles and the dads that raised us. Hey,
you know you learned. You're crying over here, you upset
told you you learn that lesson. Now we wear shoes
next time, you know. So So anyway, and then the

(42:43):
mam us see the tire swing and then then a
murmur breaks out in the hens that the tire swing
rope is old and it's gonna break. Somebody's gonna get
really hurt, worsen their their bleeding feet. So then a
new rope comes out and then then there then there's
an attempt to delay by the other dads, which I appreciate.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
Hey, this is fine. Now we do need to replace it,
but right now we're gonna get.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
We gonna this sounds like work. Yeah, we're gonna get
through today.

Speaker 4 (43:06):
It's a big, huge old oak tree, big handle, real high.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
The rope is.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Up there, and but but then the mamas they just
keep on and on, and before long, you know they're
gonna win, you know.

Speaker 4 (43:16):
So finally a dad's his wing, gonna wind this. I mean,
they're gonna keep You're gonna hurt somebody, and then if
a thing breaks, and when them go sailing into the house,
then we're gonna hear about it. And we and we
agreed that's true. So new rope comes out. Now this
is when I now try to jettison myself from work.
It's real hot out there and this I don't think
this is my area.

Speaker 3 (43:34):
I'm in my Sunday pants and.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
Clearly you're not dressed to do swing, so maneuver.

Speaker 4 (43:41):
So I tried to move into the bill Bubba Bussy
mode foreman, you know what I mean where I'm man. Yeah,
we all talk about it, and but I know eventually
when they can't get the rope over the limb.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
Eventually the word hey, biggy, won't you come up here?

Speaker 3 (43:54):
In Tausa? You know what I mean, knew that was coming.
I knew it was coming.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
I got put.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (43:58):
I tried to protect children from, you know, throwing the
rope up and nearly hitting people. And then there's the
guy that's it. It does work. You've done it, Bubba
with tiwers. You told me where somebody finally says, hey,
we're being stupid. We need to tie a brick to
the end of it and just throw it over the limb.

Speaker 3 (44:11):
And you know what I'm like, and I suggest a
half brick.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
It's better.

Speaker 3 (44:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:14):
Yeah, I don't know what it is with with with us.
I just don't you know how we all got thinking problems.
And uh so you know they they were throwing it
to you know, up there, and uh and it wasn't happening,
and and and so eventually you know it's going to happen.
You know, there's the first brother in law says, hey, hey,
big and won't you come over here? I bet you
can toss it over that that that limb.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
How high was the limb?

Speaker 3 (44:36):
Oh, it's I would.

Speaker 4 (44:37):
Say minimum twenty feet at least twenty feet high. So
uh so, I was matter of fact, I think it
probably wrote was right at twenty feet about double basketball,
go up right? So uh so I said, well let me,
let me throw it and uh and so I.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
Don't go out there on Sunday clothes.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (44:56):
Why or what I was thinking. I don't know. It's
for some reason, it never dawned on me that I
was throwing a brick. I don't know why.

Speaker 4 (45:03):
It's like I got into a mode that I was
throwing a ball, you know what I mean, or a rock,
you know, some little rock you've picked.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Were all the moms standing around, Oh.

Speaker 4 (45:12):
No, they they they order and then and then drink
and then drink sweet tea, you know what I mean.
And uh and so uh so I'm like, uh, you
know they got I mean, how can how can they
peck it somebody?

Speaker 3 (45:23):
You know right there in the yard, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 4 (45:25):
They got to get there and get in a circle
and see who's gonna be thrown in there? So uh
rick and looking they had pictures out and all that.
You know, if the women get the pictures at you
better go on.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
So, so I tapped book and could break out look out,
So I take it, and you know, there's some pressure
for me to be the guy that gets it done,
you know what I mean. And you've been and now
my kids are watching, you know, they've all stopped. And uh,
how did you try to throw it?

Speaker 2 (45:49):
You know, looking back, bubb but not the right way?
Uh did you go with the baseball toss? Or did
you go with a hangarnad?

Speaker 3 (45:56):
I went with hangernad, which I think was a mistake.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
No, I think that's the way. Well, it didn't work out.

Speaker 4 (46:00):
I took it here, and I and I and I
and I just I brought it right like a hangarnade
as hard as I could throw it.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
There was the problem. And you didn't use your knees.

Speaker 3 (46:10):
I don't, I don't.

Speaker 4 (46:11):
I don't know where the brick landed because he don't
know if it went over the limb. No, I know
it didn't, because you know, about halfway through, when I
felt my bicep giving away and I heard I heard
a tearing sound. I realized that I didn't care where
the brick was going, you know what I mean. And
and and then and then there's that moment where you go, gosh,

(46:32):
you know that that's that's gonna be bad. You know
how there's times where you discuss things you use this
with cuts, there's there's there's those in between cuts. Is
that a stitch? Is that not a stitch? Then there's
that time that you cut your hand. You see the
white bone, you go, I got the hospital. Yeah, I
mean you immediately know you hurt.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
Uh. This was one of those where I went, geah,
I'm hurt.

Speaker 4 (46:49):
I mean yeah, And everybody keeps going all men almost
and they're grabbing a brick and they're picking it up.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
I'm just walking off. Hey man, that was almost it.

Speaker 4 (46:57):
Try again, man, I said, you know, guys, I think
I've just ripped my bicep.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
And they're kind of like, oh.

Speaker 2 (47:03):
Man, is that why you have a little ball?

Speaker 4 (47:05):
And and then the thing I love though about men.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
It's obviously more chubby than the other arts.

Speaker 5 (47:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (47:12):
Well what I love about men though, they realize, you know,
men don't like to be around to hurt people. No,
they realize there's nothing we can do for them, and
they just go back to put the swing up.

Speaker 3 (47:21):
And then I have to do the walk off.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
Like the injured lines that are wondering that will eventually
be cut out of the pride and we'll die of
starvation cause nobody hunt with him, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (47:29):
And I wandered off to try to lick it and see.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
What would see if I could get it right ricking bubba.

Speaker 4 (47:35):
You know how a lot of times you see these shows,
like if someone's like petrified of spiders and theyice dump
spiders on them, try to get them not to overcome it.
Or maybe you've had some traumatic experience and they always say,
you got to get back on the horse. You gotta
get back in the car. You know, you gotta get
you know that that kind of thing. Well, I'm proud
to announce a lot of you that are new the
program may not remember this, but last Father's Day, uh,

(47:58):
my bicep was ripped uh in half uh and on
Father's Day uh.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
And it happened in a.

Speaker 4 (48:05):
Horrifying tire swing incident when when I attempted to help
my brother in laws hang a tire swing and they
couldn't get the rope over the limbs. So in my brilliance,
I decided to tie brick to it and then throw
it like a like I was launching a grenade over there.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
That's how you're supposed to throw.

Speaker 3 (48:26):
Yeah, yeah, in my my bicep came apart.

Speaker 4 (48:28):
I don't know if you've ever had your bicep reattached,
but it's it's a pleasure. Uh So, So this this
past Saturday, Sherry, you know, and I knew, I knew
that what was happening. She came in.

Speaker 3 (48:39):
She said, I'd like to talk to you a few minutes.

Speaker 4 (48:41):
And I said okay, And she said, my in laws
live in Guntersville, Alabama, beautiful Lake Gunners. Well, and she said,
it's time to go back to Gunners And uh, I said,
you're talking about the place where the tar swing is
and she said yes. She said, do you think you
can go back to where the trauma took place? And
I said, you know, I've got to face it. I've

(49:02):
got to face the tars win and uh so. So
so I went back, and you know, it's kind of uneasy,
you know, to be around it again. And uh and
I saw it just hanging out there in that gigantic
oak tree and uh and you know, you have to
first thing you got through is dodging all the commentary
from your in laws and your brother in laws. Hey, Ricky,

(49:25):
want help was the tire swing. Yeah, yeah, you have
to go through all that, and then of course someone
don't have it right. How's your shoulder?

Speaker 5 (49:32):
You know?

Speaker 4 (49:32):
Right?

Speaker 3 (49:33):
Yeah, I'm like, they saw my shoulder. How's Bubba's arm?
Yeah yeah, that kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah, where's Hunter?

Speaker 5 (49:39):
You know?

Speaker 3 (49:39):
And I'm like, you in law, should y'all know my
children versus Bubba's.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (49:44):
But anyways, so, by the way, it was funny.

Speaker 4 (49:47):
I got a letter last year yesterday invited him inviting
us to speak at something, and they wanted me to
speak there because they knew I had a connection because
my wife was a former nurse, and of course that's
that's Bubba's wife. But but by the way, Bubba and
I are the same person. You know, when little kids
call me rick and Bubba, I just say that's correct.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
That works. You gotta have them knock on your door
and go, it's ricking bubb in there, right, you know?

Speaker 4 (50:07):
So thank you, Cherry says she loves to Are you
ricking Bubba's wife?

Speaker 3 (50:14):
That's another story. That's another one.

Speaker 4 (50:16):
She said, you got that not just just a few
weeks ago. But anyway, she said, no, not both. But anyway,
I'm Bubba's brother. A lot about that, Bubba. How's your brother, Bubba?

Speaker 3 (50:25):
Yeah he's good. Yeah, hair sharp.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
What's funny is when I am on the court and
make a great shot and someway will go, nice shot, Rick,
Oh yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (50:37):
Like what somebody says. Mine won't appreciate you, Rick, you
know you. And then and then ask somebody, They go,
what see you, Bubba? And they got they got no concept.
Ice all over the road. But anyway, so I'm just
glad to be called. So I'm sitting there and you
know how that trauma hit you when you've been you,
Thank God. I'm just gonna kind of hang around the
tire swing kind of look at it. And all of
a sudden, here come all the little nephews you know

(50:58):
there and there's just hordes of them.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Hey, correct, were you swinging? Oh no, you swing tire swing?

Speaker 4 (51:04):
And I said, there's other people here, guys, they don't
they don't understand your trauma, right, you know. And then
now here come my kids, dad, Daddy, come on, they wait.
Everybody wants you to swing us.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
They're looking for a big guy to swing them.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
That's what it was. And it's like I looked around
They're all like, hi, about this too little? They want
to swing as high, you know, and you see we
could swing them. You see some of the little people
trying to swing them, and it's like getting them good swing.
Take us up in the woods and let us go,
you know that kind of thing. And then all of
a sudden I started walking toward it as it was
just hanging there, and I thought, and you know, I
probably should have thought less about me and more about

(51:36):
what's too high for some of them, you know what
I mean. And you know, because I wanted to prove
that my prowess was back, that there was no tire
swing that could stop my bicyp in its current form.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
There was you against the swing, you thought, yeah.

Speaker 4 (51:48):
Because I had to go up there. It's just like
getting back on the bronco that's thrown you. You know,
it's like you know, a lama, you know. Then everybody said, hey, Rick,
you want to take a put on another limb. I
had to fight through all that, and and then I
went out to the area the woods where I wandered off.
You know, I figured hurt like a hurt dog, you know,
the wound, and they found me like out there laying
in pine straw, you know, just stay away from him, good.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
Don't go near him. Kids, he's hurt, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
Don't go near kids. Got up under something like a rock.

Speaker 4 (52:14):
They found me under one of the stone you know,
because all my all my brother in laws and and
father in law, they're all stone nations. So there's all
kinds of trucks and trailers and the stones. They found
me underneath them. But they reach you, and so so
I did. And and I think and Heunson's even got
a picture that will put up today of me. I mean,

(52:35):
I was really I got into it. I mean I
thought I was taking them way up in the air.

Speaker 3 (52:41):
Because it was you against the swing.

Speaker 4 (52:42):
You forgot there was a kid in it, right, yeah,
especially the smallest one, you know, because gosh, she's there
so lot, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
I mean some of them just a little bit of
fellas you know, and they're just so lot.

Speaker 4 (52:52):
What happened, Well, nobody got hurt, but it was one
of those things where and why does it always happened
when their mama walks out?

Speaker 3 (53:01):
Why is that?

Speaker 2 (53:02):
You know?

Speaker 4 (53:03):
The mamas could sit around and be drinking sweet tea
and bothering nobody. And the minute you take their little
kid and swing it high enough that he starts crying,
they walk out and.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
It's it's like there's a switch, right, and you know, yeah,
we go sing, we get high, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (53:19):
And then then it was kind of the thing, you know.
So so so the problem is this. The good is
that that that I conquered the swing. The bad is
as I drove away, I left some traumatized little nephews.

Speaker 3 (53:33):
They probably won't swing on the swing anymore. And uh,
but when they.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
Get older, they don't have to conquer the swing next time. Right.

Speaker 4 (53:40):
So now my father in law has this outstanding swing
that no want to give, you know, because then then
you forget there's a human being on it. Right, And
I start seeing how far I could push it up
the hill and let it go, you know what I mean.
And then and then I thought to myself, I still
got some strength of my legs, a lot of my arms,
who are now, you know, recovering because if you've ever
by the way cut and ladies who have had sea sections,

(54:01):
you know, God had to hear that too, said I
tell you one thing, man, when you get a muscle
cut in half, it's tough to get it back to
where it was.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
Yeah, tell us about it all the little C section
women section.

Speaker 6 (54:11):
Yeah, so you're not talking about they cut our muscles
right through and grabbed the baby out nothing and you
made my baby cry nothing and the one way pulled out,
you're making him cry.

Speaker 4 (54:22):
And uh, you know, big person and uh because guess
the bow Dines are are very fast athletic people, but
they're little people.

Speaker 3 (54:30):
So when I'm there, it's like I'm Gulliver. Yeah too hard.
Stop swinging them some high. We're gonna tie you to
the ground or boom up.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Yeah and uh and but so it was.

Speaker 4 (54:43):
You trash talk the uh we swing any I just
wish that I had remembered, you know. I guess I
should have gone through and swung it some of nobody
on it. You know, I'm gonna get you back, you know.
And and and you ever had that when you have
your kids, and all dads have done of their uncles.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
And the one time my goal was to make it
to have this fence.

Speaker 4 (55:04):
And that's the top of the incline, to let it
go and nobody else could get it up there. And
I knew I could because I'd pushed the slid, you know,
back when I played a little ball, and so so I
push it as high as I can and I'm so
excited about it, and you let the kid go, and
then you realize, have you ever had a tire swing
one those big long swings and it keeps going? You're like, wow,
that why, that's real hot, you know, and you're like, Okay,

(55:29):
if that kid were to let go, he'd be on
the house. When Slack gets in the.

Speaker 3 (55:33):
Rope and it.

Speaker 4 (55:34):
Was like and you see the kid that looking yeah,
And it went from we love Uncle Rick to why
is he such a mean man?

Speaker 2 (55:41):
You know?

Speaker 3 (55:41):
And it's like, I know, I'm not mean.

Speaker 4 (55:42):
It's just fun, so oh hanging on that rope to yeah,
So I gave Helmsey a picture. Look, this is one
of my nephews. Do you think he is He's halfway
up that tree. Yeah, it's just so horrified. Yeah, this
