Speaker 7 (03:47):
God thinks rhyming is obviously not required. Now think about this.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
I never really thought about ham doesn't belong in a
Turkey song. She mentions Ham.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Well, for me, holiday season can officially start great.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
She's rhyming. She's rhyming a whole way and for some
reason at chair and her attempt to rhyme it with beer,
she thinks gave her the license. I guess to say goodbye,
and folks.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I know, I mean, it's nice, folks.
Speaker 8 (04:26):
Let's not question the creativity. That's artist.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
There's there's a gobble Gobble song for those of you
that have to have it there.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
It is Chris and Tennessee Chris, go ahead.
Speaker 9 (04:42):
Yes, I just want to thank you guys so much.
I've been listening to you guys for about five years now,
since I've been in prison. I got to listen to
you guys, and when I heard this song, it made
me really hungry every time we listened to it.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
So when you were in prison, you're still there, yes, sir?
Are are you?
Speaker 8 (05:00):
Are you incarcerated right now?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Are you're out now?
Speaker 9 (05:04):
No?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
No, okay, how do they let you? You got to
call out of prison to call about the gobble Gobble song?
Speaker 9 (05:11):
No, so I'm not currently impresson. When I was, I
listened to you guys as well.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah, can I ask you a question because you have
a perspective we normally don't have. What was worse the
gobble Gobble song or prison? Right?
Speaker 9 (05:31):
Yeah? I think the gobble double song, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Chris.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Thank you, mass I'm glad that we were able to
kind of help you do your time, and and I'm
I'm excited about your second chance at life. Man Jonathan
in Kentucky, Jonathan, go ahead, be a coaster. Uh, Kenny
(05:59):
and Tusky, can you go ahead?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yes? It to say this.
Speaker 9 (06:04):
My doctor has six fingers, but I enjoyed my prosthetic
on Friday more than I did.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
That's now, James, there's a controversy that comes with Thanksgiving
every year. And uh and Bubba and I don't know
how this started, but you know where we come from.
The gravy that you put on dressing and on the
turkey that had some of the inside.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Of the turkey in it. Right, what do you call that? James?
It starts with a g right, that is correct.
Speaker 10 (06:36):
I see, I know where you're going with this, and
I've heard both ways, and I honestly don't know, but
I call it giblet.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Well, my gosh, what are you a communist? It's giblet.
Speaker 10 (06:47):
It's change it from this very moment on for the
rest of my life.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I mean, I mean, my daughter flew in last night
from from Philadelphia. Did I run over there and go, oh,
my little Jural is home? And at Christmas you don't
sing gory to the world.
Speaker 10 (07:05):
No, I give the baby giblet.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
You ran at it and you left the head out.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
It was funny if y'all had to pony to die.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I love you so much, But but we don't.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
We don't know, we don't. Uh So, James, what will
be your Thanksgiving plans?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
What do you do?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
What is the I work every Thanksgiving, but you don't
go until late, so you're gonna get the lunch with
the family.
Speaker 10 (07:38):
Yeah, well, we'll be about, let's see, fifty miles away
from where I work and go down and have big
lunch with the family and then drive back and do
the television thing tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
So it'll be fantastic.
Speaker 9 (07:50):
You know.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
The only thing. I don't get a nap.
Speaker 10 (07:52):
You know, there's something about that Thanksgiving nap when you're
sitting in that beach.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
You know what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
We're gonna watch you on TV and say, y'all watch
James tried to do the forecast high on trip to fan.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
You know, I don't know if it's if it's the turkey,
if it's the turkey that makes you sleepy, the food
that you eat, or the Detroit line.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Well, the good the good thing about it though, is
that they're the early game.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Because here's the thing at my house that drives. My
wife doesn't like this. My wife goes through such an
effort to make this homemade cranberry sauce and I don't
like cranberry sauce. And it drives the area. It's almost
like every year she forces me. She you know what
she says. She said, well, it makes everything moist. I said,
that's what gravy's for. That's what the gravy's for.
Speaker 10 (08:37):
So what what's your biggest objection with it?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
I just don't like its texture.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I don't And you look, you don't know the way
it looks, well, you know.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
To me, it looks like ketchup that has gone bad,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
And what about the people that don't even have real cranberries?
An if they pull like that gelatin version of it
and you set it down, it still has the ripples
in it from the can.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Yeah, who want sa that? It's like something that went bad.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
The same can opener You open the dog food with that, man,
you know what I mean, And it looks the same.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
It's just colors.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
So at least my wives has real cranberries and you
can see them and it's homemade. But here's another thing
that's a little quirky about me, and this is where
Thanksgiving gives me some issues. Sometimes I like to have
my salty food then have desserts. I don't like foods
that parade in on the salty plate, like a sweet
potato casserole, you know, a cranberry saying look at us,
(09:29):
we're sweet tasting, but we're gonna get over her on
your gravy and you're dressing in your turkey, and like, no, no, no,
I'll see you after I'm done with this. When my
palette is wanting something sweet, so I don't like to
combine them on the place. What's the order. Well, this
is me. I go over and buddy, I'm scooping to please.
And I go over there and I heap dressing on,
(09:49):
and my mother in law will bring her world famous
dressing from Guntersville and I will be face down in
it and I'll put that on the plate. Then my
mom will bring her homemade squashed casserole, macaroni and cheese.
They'll jump on there. So I got a lot of
yellow going, you know what I mean, and a lot
of start yes. And then I get my turkey white
meat only, and I pilot.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
Like dark meat, like no, I love dark mat.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
And then sometimes I'll run over and get a little
country ham if it's honey, if it's honey Chris baked,
and I'll.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
Throw it at that edge.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
By the way, I was devastated yesterday. My honey baked
ham place near my house is closed. And when our
business lost.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
My mind pulled in the parking lot ready for my
honey baked ham and they were closed, and I could
see it was closed, but I wouldn't give it up.
At one point my face was on the window, going,
are y'all just remodeling for the big open? Just say,
just say pardon our progress.
Speaker 8 (10:36):
Well, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what, Rick,
somebody must have stolen money because that place was packed.
I don't see how they body must have ripped them all.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
I think you're right, so so I do that. And
then I mean, I learned from my grandfather God rest
is soul and has already gone to glory. But he
could get more on a plate than any man I'd
ever seen.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
And then I just take gravy and just put gravy
on all of it that they're in the prayer, Rick, Yeah,
my grandfather would would mumble a prayer, and everybody, out
of respect to the patriarch, didn't know when to look up,
but he would mumble it so he can move over
to the table start scooping. Before we realize he was
done with the prayer. So you look up, he'd have
about half his playful going everywhere.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
The line is do y'all use do y'all use like
real plates or do you use that plastic?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Now we'll we'll turn up real for for the biggie.
Speaker 10 (11:23):
Matter of fact, Sherry, I gotta ask you this on
this cranberry sauce thing, is a courtesy to your wife.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Do you take a little bit sometimes if she gives
me that look, I do.
Speaker 8 (11:32):
And when you had that dog that won't sit in
your lap all the time, you could flip.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
It to him. I don't have that dog.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
You know that's tough. The kids did it.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
This is this is where I'll spoon feed one of
the twins that's new to the family.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
You know, tins open up y'all on solid food.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Yet you know the problem though, and you pointed out,
is getting it all and supporting it on a plate
because it gets head dressings a head regular. So I
got one uncle that uses a walk, I mean bigger.
You know it's crazy. See, he just keep scooping perfect.
Greg does Greg like dark ment absolutely. I know he
likes things dark like he's like he does his women.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
You know what. You know what I mean? And and
just like just like my and my children like dark men,
like they can learn how.
Speaker 8 (12:17):
Love dark man. Greg can keep. I mean, Rick can have.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
The white man. I'm into that white man. I don't
eat tendons and muscles and wires.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
I do all right, I love it. James, have a
good Thanksgiving g badj.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Ricking bubba, ricking bubba.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
It is the food playoffs. The New Zealand Medical Journal
said they listened forty nine foods that all people should avoid.
We went through these forty nine picking out foods that
we did not think we could live without. We then
set up a playoff of the top sixteen foods that
we all must have, and we are down to the
(12:56):
final four. Chocolate made its way there by defeating bacon
and salt, ssage and even ice cream. Butter finds its
way into the final four after defeating crackers and pop tarts.
Fried Foods finds its way into the final four by
annihilating pies and also defeating a narrow victory over sugar.
The biscuits have found it their way into the final
(13:18):
four after defeating nuts and also defeating milkshakes. These were
not easy decisions, and now we're down to the final four. Chocolate, butter,
fried foods, biscuits. That's where we find ourselves. And you know,
you know, I want you to realize before we go
any further, if this were real, we have just said
(13:40):
that we are done with ice cream, bacon and sausage, doughnuts,
frozen yogurt, crackers, pop tarts, energy drinks, chips, pies, nuts,
milkshakes and syrup right of our life said.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
They were gonna be easy choices. Rick, that's just the way.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
And I'm frustrated because I think that energy drinks is
on there. It shouldn't be because we thought Bubba thought, hey,
Gatorade or whatever pedia light is and it's not an
energy drinkable. Well, I mean, on the list of energy drinks,
it's it's it's not on there neither.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
This is what it's saying is that it's trying to
get you to do away with caffeine and and those types.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Right, So no, no, like red Bull, Monster rock Star,
that very bad would be.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Yeah, that would be considered. Of course, I'd have to
get rid of verve. That'd be tough.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Let's get into that is I know, let's get full
throt all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
I got it. Let's look at our first match up
in the final four.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Love, I'm afraid it's chocolate versus butter amp energy. The
only problem is about this, you can't really have chocolate
without butter.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
But we'll ignore that. But that's a good point. It's
a great point anyway.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
If let's say, if if we're stranded on them island,
Well said give them again, Rick, come on, chocolate versus
butter is in the first is our first round of
the final four?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Which what's one of those? Do we say goodbye to you?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Which if you say goodbye to butter, it means we're
eating chocolate without butter.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I don't do that. I'm going with chocolate. Can you
not do that for me?
Speaker 8 (15:21):
If you're I'm gonna say, butter is in everything? We
eat everything?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Do we still get to have margarine? I can live
with that.
Speaker 8 (15:31):
That's a very good question.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
I can live with that.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
Well, I think we're gonna have to question. I think
we're gonna have to take it at face value.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
So you're saying goodbye margin and butter.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
Yeah, it's a problem.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
I just ignore that. Just but don't like let's just
say it chocolate or butter.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
I think late. If I have to get you picked,
chocolate is the cure, Greg picked chocolate. I keep. I
pick butter as a keeper.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Rick.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
It comes if I have to get rid of something
and I'm on an island, I'd rather have food with butter,
so I would chocolate. When I have to catch Chocolate's
fine for one day, but day in day.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Out, man, that's gonna get hope. I'm not on the
island though.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
Well, food, what we're going to have on the island
you mine as well, you're.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Taking out of your dot. I'm the deciding vote on this.
It's a different list. What foods will you have on
an island? Yeah, that's a totally different list, like energy drinks.
So all if I had to remove some are on
the island, if I had to, if I had to
remove one of these two from my dot, I would
remove butter and keep you.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Okay, so chocolate against who rick?
Speaker 8 (16:36):
This next one will be a blowout then, all right?
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Fried food versus biscuits, fried food, fried food?
Speaker 8 (16:42):
Easy one.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
So it's fried food against chocolate. What an amazing match.
Speaker 8 (16:46):
It's it's it's it's the meal. It's the meal versus dessert.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
What an amazing match up? You know?
Speaker 8 (16:54):
For me, it's not it's not that difficult now.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Well and then, and we'll all make our cases to me,
it really isn't that difficulty. And I'll tell you why.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
I go back to what I've what I've been ranting
about on the program for the last few weeks.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I'm hung.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
At one time, this country was great, and it was
great when it was not afraid of fried food. When
we began, when we started becoming afraid of fried food,
we became a bunch of pudds as a country.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
And and and we've.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Never we have not had a decisive victory since, by
the way, Okay, So I believe that we as a
society where we were a better people back when we
were not afraid of fried food. Okay, because now you
have people that are afraid of fried food, but they
still like chocolate. So really, chocolate is is not done
(17:43):
for our society what fried food's done for it? Frank Now,
I know they're chocolate. I know there's women right now
that are kicking the radio because I know how you
are with you chocolate, Okay, and I understand it. I
live with a chocolate chocoholic. I know about it all right, Okay,
I am borderline chocoholic.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
Where I am to you, we all are, but who
among us or not?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
But if you said Rick, for the rest of your days,
you got to walk away from your friend chocolatey or
your friend fried food. Yeah, never to never take them
in again again. I cannot live with that fright food.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
I will second that most bo now you're on an island.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
How you fry in your feet? But no, we're not
on an isle of them. This is not an isle
of glass chocolas Melton.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
The key is we're doing away with it. We're we
can't worse to starving Rick. I'm vote with you.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
I agree.
Speaker 8 (18:29):
I can't do food is too wide of a cacula
to mess.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Two votes for fried food. We're looking for one vote.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
Anybody will he puts it over so.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
It wins overwhelmingly.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
We've just come to the conclusion that the Rick and
Bubba Show cannot live with that.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Fried food. It is the king of all foods.
Speaker 8 (18:46):
Yep, it is.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Yeah, I mean, look, and I think we know that
the only hope for me. And I've actually tried this now.
It doesn't appear that I'm doing it now, but I
have gone through periods of time where fried food I
do partake of it in moderation, but but I cannot
do away with it at all.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
I can't.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
I can't turn my back on fried chicken. I just can't.
Can you turn your back on French fries? Probably not.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
I can't. I could do that.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
No French fries I could do. I could do with that.
French fries. Could you do with that? Fried chicken?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Noh?
Speaker 8 (19:18):
Are we talking about chicken livers here? They're fried anything
fried chicken.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Let me look at cause I with you a lot.
Let me tell you this. That would include boneless buffalo wings,
I don't know wings, boneless chicken fingers, chicken breast, chicken legs.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
You know, yeah, yes, I'm on things. Quit talking, goodbye?
Speaker 8 (19:37):
Fried Okrah, don't talk anymore.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Oh, fried livers, pickles, don't forget.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
I don't like fried pickles. You know tomatoes? Can I
tell you what's weird about my relationship with fried pickle?
I told you I love fried shrimp, fried bronco? Great?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
How about this? Let me this is I got a
weird relationship with fried pickles. My wife likes them, my son,
my son, one of my sons really likes them. Every
time they're brought to the table. I want to like them,
and I try them, and remember, I don't like it.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Just called you're hungry. I just don't like fried pickles.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I was about to say, do you I'm.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Imagine this?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Well, we'll be having this March night fried seafood platter.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
The best bubba.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
I understand that the Betty Lou bussy Is is hosting
this year, and it's going to uh to cook Thanksgiving
for everybody.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
You know.
Speaker 8 (20:27):
Uh. The past few years we've been very fortunate. Well,
we catered it with a good friend of ours who
you've heard on show, Uncle Luther, who does a wonderful job.
And uh, but this year he's he's unable to do that.
He's out of town. So Betty has fired got the
kitchen fired up.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
So how is that going?
Speaker 8 (20:48):
Oh, I'm sure it's going.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Well.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
I'm just trying to stay out of there.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Now. Didn't you take a bunch of classes on how
to cook like me?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Mom?
Speaker 8 (20:54):
She did, she took cooking like grandma a few years ago.
And Betty is really a good cook. He just doesn't
have the time to, you know, to dedicate to it.
But wow, the pressure's only when you do Thanksgiving, I mean,
good gracious.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yeah, we've we've hosted, I guess starting maybe three four
years ago. And there's a lot of pressure comes with that,
a lot.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
Yeah, And you know a lot of my family I
hate to have them over and them have to cook
and all that, and some of them are not able
to do that like they used too. So I want
them to come and fellowship and must have a good
time in vis right.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Absolutely.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
Uh. But while when Betty volunteered to do that, I'm like, wow, yeah,
not that I didn't think she could do it, but
I just didn't want her to go through the stress
of that, because that's stress will somehow work its way
down to Well.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I was going to say that in a very selfish way.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I tell you our house, when we're hosting something like
this about seventy two hours out, you better react together.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Yeah are you? Can you run into the Mama bus? Saw? Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
She she's already got some Christmas trees up because she
knew she's gonna be rushed and not feel like doing
it tomorrow. So and then you know, me trying to,
you know, get up. Some people watch the ball game
today after Thanksgiving. Now you know it gets in the
way too.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Well, I'm not trying to say there's pressure at our
house and you're you're seeing it to you this year,
especially if they're having to prepare. But I mean one
of the kids came in from school yesterday and through
his jacket on the floor and I dove on it
like a fumble, and what do you doing you out
of your mind. Mom's got this house cleaned up. We
got suit I'm not touching anything for two days.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
Don't touch it. Matter of fact, you need somewhere to
go and live so you don't mess up everything. Yeah,
and Betty even announced last night, she said, I'm gonna
have everything cooked, everything ready. We can't mess the kitchen up.
We got to go out and eat tonight.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
I know what I mean it really there's a lot
of pressure comes with that.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
So you know, get ready for cheap Mexican.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
So are y'all taking on the big the big time turkey.
Speaker 8 (22:36):
Oh, she's doing all that rick, all that you talk
about it night now, I know, I know, And I'm
just I'm scared, not that she can do it. I'm
just scared for, you know, her being ill at me
for something that I didn't want. That's what you got
to look out for. I'm looking at her selfish at
this and I know.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
That is that where you just say yes, ma'am when
she gives you a list of things to do around
the house.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
I just kind of stay out of there, just stay
clear that. That's why to check my text, you know,
every ten if.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
You're cooking a Turkey like us. It's pick enough to
feed to the two families. You gotta start cooking it.
Like today, that's.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
When you have to get the Yeah, that's when you
have to get the kids out of the house and go.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
I got them. I'll just that's what I take care
of it. I've already asked, sure of what the kids
are doing today? Yeah, because the day't gonna be around
that house, and I agree, I'm ready to move out
of there.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
Just keep moving. I'm even afraid to get them because
I'm afraid we'll need something. I have to call back.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Yeah, when you get within the window you're in right now,
you got You gotta be careful because I don't call
my wife unless she calls me.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
That's the only time we talk because I know if
I call, I could call into something.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Right, well here, what about this question? Where are you
right now? Uh?
Speaker 8 (23:39):
Indiana?
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Yeah? Uh, nowhere near a grocery store.
Speaker 8 (23:43):
I'll tell you, yeah, yeah, there's no one for thirty minutes.
And either way, I'm not hunting. Yeah, I'll tell you.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
What I'm not doing is it's having fun and taking
no responsibility about Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Yeah, I know, that's.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
All what I'm doing is at the worst when you
called home and you hear commotion in the background, kids
fighting and stuff, and you're like saying, hello, I can't.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Hear you by the pressure yesterday and the day I
told you to know you're sixes right, Oh yeah, the
presser you hun.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Yeah, the pressure yesterday and today was went away because
because the kids were in school and I knew I
was picking them up after school so they couldn't mess
it up. Here's my bad days. Today we're twenty four
hours some Thanksgiving and the boys are out of school today.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
I know, I'm you. They're at home right now without me.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Yeah, which means trouble. That the mean when we when
we call home, there's no telling how may commercials. I
gotta cut the day because you call home today and
I guarantee they've got themselves some trouble.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
I guarantee it. Yeah, no way, that's not going out.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
And you know, when mama feels that pressure of twenty
four hours of Thanksgiving, you better be real careful. You're
not just walking on walking on thin ice here, you're
walking on water.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I made the mistake. Terry looked at me. She said,
this house is a mess. I said, no, it's not.
And as soon as I said no, it's not, I went,
what are you doing? You stupid eatiot? She looked at
me like, are you serious? Have you looked around here?
And that's when you go, yes, ma'am, you start picking
stuff up. I know what you're picking up?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Guys. As we speak? What as we speak? I've been
text my list for the day. No, just got it?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me. Oh my gosh,
it's got Walmart and Target on it. What I've had it? Please? Rick,
give me your life. I don't know. I don't go
into those two places on regular days, much less right before.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Rick, Well, that's because you think a convenience store should
have everything you need.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
I don't buy anything get big discount stores because it's
too big and there's too many people there, and then
you can't get in and.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Half the registers aren't of an open hit It isn't
it frustrating when you stand in a long line and
there's ten of them that are open.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah, my wife, nobody's there.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
My wife has got so upset because I've actually bought
bread home from places she didn't know.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
So bread, yeah, like a convenience store.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Have bread? I found it?
Speaker 8 (25:55):
Yes, you didn't know Best behalf.

Hanging on the wall, and just listen to it. Here's
your gift, Josh Brobably. What do I do. I've moved

Speaker 4 (27:59):
Because he's as smaller.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Than you are?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Oh sure he is. Well, you know college students from
up north. You know all college students think they're smart.
Of course that all it means they're good at school.
They don't know Jack.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
You know what, they know slightly more than groundhog and
they don't know Jack.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
So I don't know about that, but I'll do I'll
do the rest of it. That's pretty mild though. That's
not too bad.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
But see the more you run around now where you
go get the boys and get them out and go
do that list or do that list on the way home.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Uh, you know what, I don't need more trouble. I
agree with that. That just gives him more chill. Here's
a bigger chance to get But Babba's really hit on it.
The problem is I'll bring home the wrong pictures. You
won't be the right tea pictures, and I have to
go back.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
Rick. This is what it sounds like.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Rick, what now? This is what y'all says?
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Because I hate when they just so you thought those
were the right ones to get you thought that was
the right picture.
Speaker 8 (28:50):
You know, that doesn't match our glasses. What glasses we
have glasses.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Fried food?
Speaker 5 (28:58):
You know?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
We're Now, this is what's wrong with America today. We're
afraid of fried food. We become afraid of it.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
I mean we we run from it, we read about it,
we put born in labels.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
We are gripped in fear.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Talk show guests, Now, let's disregard the fact that we
won two World Wars on fraud food, right?
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Okay?
Speaker 9 (29:17):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (29:17):
And how about this, can we honestly.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
Says fried food has defeated.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Right right, fried food one when it came to stir
fried versus fried fried one convincingly? Okay, Now let's say
this okay, and also we be boiled too the Germans.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
So here's the thing. Was America a stronger, better country?
Were the men less pudds when we ate fried food
or when we became afraid of it? Can you honestly
say that America is a better place since we become
afraid of fried food?
Speaker 8 (29:50):
Well, we have a story out of the Telegraph today
from Britain, and the headline says fried food heart risk
a myth. And you know where we get this information,
warn Buffets secretary. That's why she makes the big bucks
right Rick for her. A rather intensive and big research
(30:15):
project with over forty thousand people studied went on from
the mid the mid nineties to two thousand and four,
and they studied fried food, their habits, eating at home
and abroad, and also followed it up with coronary heart disease,
heart attacks and in Johina requiring surgery. That's right in Johina.
(30:39):
I know I'm going to joke about it. I know,
I love it, gonna tell her a lot. I know
I tell it well too.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
By the way, I did you.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
Clean your ears out? And Joina, I'm.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Glad go I've got a cute and Johnna will I'll
tell you what. I'm glad to hear that, because that's the.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
Dividing dividing groups that prayer time is not working. There
are one.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Of my favorite because I tell you that maybe the other.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
Hams take something hit that bad book so quick laughing.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Because the laughers of the one encouraging laughers are the
one who encourage you.
Speaker 8 (31:25):
You know, I just saved my breath over here. It's good, Rick.
Here is the key they studied basically the Mediterranean diet
versus that of Europe.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Now what have we always heard on that note? Well,
if Americans we just moved to that Mediterranean dit and
stop all this fried food, we all be a health
their country.
Speaker 8 (31:44):
Well, the Mediterranean diet. Guess what they fry to They
use a lot of olive and sunflowering, and the big
difference is the way they do it. Uh, fried foods
from modern American style uses owls that are reused and
typically higher and trans fats. So we take away from
(32:04):
that the fact that it may be what you're frying
the food in, not the fact that you're frying it.
Speaker 11 (32:12):
Do we know if the taste? Do we eat anything
that's in? What they say kind of hole is good
for you?
Speaker 4 (32:17):
A lot of people are moving to the morning.
Speaker 8 (32:19):
I'm asking you olive and sunflow.
Speaker 11 (32:20):
You know this comes out like, hey, fried food is good,
and now if it's gonna taste crappy.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
No, No, I've had the sunflower oil. It's not that bad.
I'm just curious now maybe what trans fat and our
ols want.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Good bottom line is the country was better when we
ate fried food, even when we didn't care what all
it was in okay, but I won't try them.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
I'm concerned about the story.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
Rick they have tracked. There's no comparison they say, in
the amount of heart attacks that came out of the
out of the British study versus the Mediterranean, where the
only difference is olive and sunflower oil. And the fact
that they don't reuse it.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
Yeah, I got no problem making those adjustments.
Speaker 11 (32:56):
Yeah, we'll let all we'll use it a why, yes,
we We'll put in that fry and put that old
plastic lived on it.
Speaker 8 (33:01):
Some of you know, you changed it and and James
Gregory made a great point of this. I think it's
healthier to do that because no bacteria can survive boiling
hot grease.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Some of the most impressive, some of the most impressive
men I've ever known, and some and most of them
lived to be in their eighties. Some of their finest
moments were sitting next to a vat of bowling oil,
dropping corn meal, breaded fish and hush puppies into it.
You knew it was done when it floated to the top.
You fished it out with you little you little fish
(33:32):
out metal net thing. You threw it over on a
paper towel, that soaked up the grease from it, and
you ate it, difed it little catch's And let me
tell us some of the finest men I've ever known,
compared to the men that did, They say this, meet
some more.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
I can have a salad. There's no comparison these to
ate a salad. The last time we were had a
had a lunch had.
Speaker 8 (33:51):
Beef on it. Yeah, Greg, Greg messed up order and
he didn't really want.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
To y'all sit beside each other. Too little salad.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
There's a loss trying not to jake the bill up?
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Right?
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Who was paying for somebody's kicked You didn't care? How
about this, somebody's kicked the door in. They're coming in
to to to to attack the family. Do you want
a man to stand there and protect the family that
ate fried fish, hush puppies and and and those those
big fat hobo potatoes? Or do you want the guy
that had a grilled chicken salad that day? Who do
(34:23):
you want protecting the family?
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Good point?
Speaker 8 (34:26):
Huh, No comparison, right, I.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Mean, they ranted he may not live as long, but
why he was here we were safe for a short period.
He was a bad.
Speaker 8 (34:34):
Dude, Rick, They said. The Mediterranean died also included slightly
more fruits and vegetables, only a small amount, which they
said also could help, but was not enough to vastly
change the survey.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
I'm not anti fruit or vegetable, so it didn't there. Well, sure,
look it's moderation. But this thing that we're afraid of fried.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
That, I mean, we're like afraid of it. I mean,
how about moderation. It's almost like fried food comes in.
You can't stop it. It bolts in your house, are
jumping in your mouth. I mean, look, if you use
as a jack to get your mouth, it jumps in.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
I tell you I can't eating the moderation because it
tastes good. Yes, I might check out his new olls, though,
ain't I.
Speaker 8 (35:15):
Don't know if I've had that on something fried or not.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
I don't have I have it.
Speaker 11 (35:19):
You're talking about fried chicken when I have some kind
of weird I have.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Can I say you made a big fuss about it?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Can I tell you I love something that I love
something that's only kids order, and I kind of sometimes
am embarrassed to order it. But I have to admit
I like popcorn shrimp.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Of course, it's one of the greatest I've ever made.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
But but all the kids they're like, I want popcorn
read Dad, I'll go, I'll take it back.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Think about popcorn shrimp from a health From a popcorn
shrimp health standpoint, we call that one the two fer.
Not only are you eating something in this deep fried,
you're also eating something that is extremely high cliffs for
a I mean, you know, God, we fried a dangerous
fish and you got both in one hit.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
All that, But dogging it's good, isn't it that that?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
How about old fried catfish?
Speaker 4 (36:04):
Bonelets?
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Catch you talking about the river boat, specially one that's
about as long, one that's about as long as the plate.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Let me tell you this long Now it's hanging off
the plate.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Can't catch a large mouth, okay, catch a large mouth
to things, large mouth fresh water bass, filly it, get
your cornmeal right, drop it in that deep friar.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
Let her float to the top along with the hushbabies
that are floating in there with it.
Speaker 11 (36:28):
Don't don't don't forget the best eating fish around brim
No crappie or crappy depends on what croppy is you from.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
But I'm talking is the best it. Don't taste too fish.
Speaker 8 (36:38):
Right, I like, Greg, what do you mean by that?
Speaker 4 (36:41):
You know what? Fish tastes too fishy?
Speaker 8 (36:42):
I can't.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
It's a fish.
Speaker 8 (36:44):
No, y'all are wrong.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
It's like a game. He tasted the same thing. It's game.
Speaker 8 (36:49):
But to me, I've always hated that saying well, that's
too fishy, it's fish.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Such a dumb statement. Let me say this, it's too strong.
I tell you what I like to trap. It's perfect.
I tell I like to And our granddaddy, God rest
is so you know, he ate unhealthy and God hey,
and God love him. He didn't did He only lived
to be eighty. But anyway, the he would he could
take a brim because you don't fillate brewn or he loves,
and drop that whole brim in there. Could you cut
(37:16):
the head off of it? Everything else stays, gut it out,
everything else stays. Drop it in there in deep fright,
and then eat it off the bone. And he could
eat it off a bone to the point it looked
like a cat had it.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
And you look around, you.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Have a complete I mean, like something from a cartoon.
He would eat everything off the bin.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
The tail.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Yeah, and then and you need to tell tail like
a potato chip man. That's good and and and what's
the country better when we ate like that?
Speaker 4 (37:39):
Is it great? Now?
Speaker 3 (37:41):
We were a bunch of health nuts. Now we could
We couldn't win a world war right now if we.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
Had to rick you know, I think we wouldn't have
the stomach for it.
Speaker 8 (37:48):
Again, James Gregory, I think sums it up and his
routine so well about kids and learning and school. And
you know you can't go to school a bit excited
about learning.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
After having a banana.
Speaker 8 (37:59):
Yeah, you know for breakfast you have waffles and all that.
You sit there and listen.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Oh, absolutely, you know you're content.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
The point I'm making on that speed militarily we could right,
but the but the putt itization of the men here,
we'd be all freaking out. But if we go fight
and want if all they have us fried food, you
know that means that'd.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Bubba ricking bubba.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
One of the finest eating holidays we have, Thanksgiving. I
love it. I have some of the most wonderful memories.
Speaker 8 (38:26):
We're working out right now stretching our stomach.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
That's the one. That's the one. So so do you
Thanksgiving at the Gregory's what was it like, well, you know,
now I grew up.
Speaker 12 (38:42):
I won't overly answer your question, but it was extremely
special for us because we we live way out in
the country, and the definition of poor decades ago, we're
different than now. Now, you're poor if you don't have
a pool in the backyard, right, how that goes? Yeah, Well, see,
we lived out and I grew up in the area
words mainly dirt woods. We had about an eight mile
(39:02):
trip to the first blacktop and it was about sometime
a quarter mile, half mile or one mile between the neighbors.
Speaker 4 (39:08):
So that was my childhood.
Speaker 12 (39:10):
So we didn't have a lot of good food throughout
the year. So any time a holiday came, if somebody
had to steal it, we got it.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Amen.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
But you know, but you had there was no.
Speaker 12 (39:19):
Air condition, can people coming over everybody, you know, and
no heat, no heat for the winter holidays, no air
condition for the summer holidays. But they saw about sweat
mixed with a lima beans. I don't know, I think
that's what you really miss these days. It's the sweating
and the patent and the breathing and everybody everybody dreads
(39:42):
getting up, you know.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
Yeah, while we go out to the porch for a while.
Speaker 12 (39:46):
Well, we've got the other minute, just can't make it
to the port.
Speaker 13 (39:53):
Can I sell you one of my favorite James Gregory stories.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Yes, please, Keith.
Speaker 13 (39:57):
We were trailing. We were traveling I believe it was
South Carolina, and we were splitting the driving up and
I was behind the wheel in James's car. He was
in the passenger seat, and he took a little nap
for about thirty forty minutes.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (40:11):
He woke up and wasn't awake for ten seconds, and
he said, Keith, pull over on this egg. There's a
good meet in three up here.
Speaker 4 (40:16):
So you sensed it.
Speaker 8 (40:18):
I could tell he dreamed of it.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
And it was the best meeting three and in the
whole state.
Speaker 8 (40:23):
Some peoples knew. Some people have Google Maps, not James. Yeah,
he has a stomach.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
Try I remember exit numbers.
Speaker 12 (40:30):
If they got good food, get those numbers.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Sure.
Speaker 12 (40:32):
Sure, that shit three twelve coming out of Atlanta and
all coming towards Chattanooga and Nashville. That shit three twelve.
You can't beat it. If you're going from Chattanooga I
toward Knoxville. There's an exit sixty eight. It's where the
Sweet Order Valley cheese, farming cheese, thousands of acres of cows,
and I make their own cheese there going by this
(40:55):
cheese that's made on the spot.
Speaker 8 (40:57):
Oh did you see, James. It's the first time I
just got biggest saucers.
Speaker 4 (41:06):
It was the first time I was in that place.
Speaker 5 (41:07):
You know.
Speaker 12 (41:07):
I said, y'all have knives and forks and stuff. She's
the sweet This is not that eating establishment. We just
sell the cheese. I said, I'm gonna eat it the
car going out of a highway and I bought like
a two pound block you hate to just know on it.
And she went back there in her private office somewhere
and stole me a leather cutter.
Speaker 4 (41:30):
Yeah, I gave me a lever off.
Speaker 12 (41:32):
Maybe that's a hippien.
Speaker 5 (41:33):
See that.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
That's did you see why he's in the Hall of
Fame of Eating. Yeah, it's that kind.
Speaker 8 (41:37):
Not everybody can engineer that.
Speaker 12 (41:39):
No, you know who I feel sorry for this time
of year. Vegetarians absolutely, and the so called health nuts.
You know, there's there's vegetarians you run across some more
and more of these days. I don't know if there's sincere.
I think a lot of these people behind the scenes
really make a stop at Hardy's occasionally.
Speaker 4 (41:55):
Don't I doe?
Speaker 12 (41:56):
You know, But I tell you, and every time I
talk about these vegetarians emon stage, the audience starts to laugh.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
Here's what I told HI about. I see.
Speaker 12 (42:04):
You may think this is funny now, but if things
keep going out there going, eventually you could end up
with a vegetarian living right next door to you.
Speaker 8 (42:13):
Oh my, no, in the neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (42:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (42:15):
I mean, then what you're gonna do when you need
to bar some fat back?
Speaker 4 (42:20):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 8 (42:23):
Former President Bill Clinton is one of the featured speakers
at today's inaugural Weight of the Nation Calls Okay. It's
sponsored by the Disease the Center for Disease Control to
focus on obesity prevention and control. Of course, of Bill
Clinton has battled with his own weight. We had the
fast food runs, you remember that. Of course, he had
(42:43):
bypass surgery. But according to the Washington Post reliable source column,
and they have a photo to back it up, the
former president waited in line Saturday night at Burger at
Ze Burger in Washington, posing for photo and signing autographs
as his takeout order was ready. What was his order?
(43:05):
Double burger, hold the Mayo onion rings, French fries, and
an apple pie milkshake.
Speaker 4 (43:14):
So you know I'm speak of that obesity clinic. I'll
have an apple pie milk shake. Let me have fries
and onion rings. I'm gonna be healthy, holding mail on
my double cheeseburds.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
Hey, I want to talk to you all about fatness
and health care and obeesting stuff.
Speaker 8 (43:35):
All right, So, so if Bill Clinton will go and
have a double burger, hold the Mayo onion rings, French fries,
and an apple pie milkshake on his way to speak
at a conference called Weight of the Nation, And if
Al Gore and all of his cronies will take their
private jets to a conference to tell all of us
(43:57):
to park our SUV's because we're killing a planet? Is
it possible that some of these people might be hypocritical
in their position.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
Thing?
Speaker 8 (44:08):
It's hilarious, that's funny.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
I'll blame you. How about this, I've never even heard
of an apple pie milkshake? How many counter is that
something gonna? It's a dang an apple pie milkshake? Does
somebody take apple.
Speaker 4 (44:19):
Pie all I'm owed and just blend it up?
Speaker 8 (44:22):
Is that what that is.
Speaker 9 (44:25):
Even.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
I look at the apple pie milk shak go, man,
that's coming. I don't know about that.
Speaker 8 (44:29):
Yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 4 (44:33):
Want some fries?
Speaker 3 (44:34):
Can I have a are y'all cheese between it and
ranging fries? If I feel really guilty, I'll doll back.
Speaker 8 (44:41):
I'll dialve back to a vanilla milkshake because I feel
like it's not as bad as a chunk.
Speaker 4 (44:46):
If they offered me an apple pie, miss like, oh
that's too much.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
I didn't have a regular. I don't know about I
want two straws. So here's what I want, double cheeseburger.
Hold hold to my I'm trying to come back. Let
me have fries and onion rings. They have that apple
pie milk check out things sounds good and uh and
a dot coke and a dot coke.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
He has no friends because if there's one handler.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
Hey, hey Bill, Hey Bill, Hey buddy, I'm not trying
to tell you what to do. You know you're going
to that fat conference. I'm sorry, ob city conference in
a few minutes. Yeah, in a few minutes. Why don't
we stop and maybe have a real chicken. I don't
know if z Burger is a good choice. You know,
you know, what what you think about water burger?
Speaker 8 (45:31):
Now I know where he wanted to go. Hey, how
about some wings?
Speaker 3 (45:35):
Yeah, who feels like wings? So I mean, we'll do
that after I thought, we'll get wings.
Speaker 8 (45:43):
Now that's just funny. See, I think that that Bill
ought to be beat anywhere.
Speaker 4 (45:47):
He wants to do what he wants.
Speaker 8 (45:48):
But don't go to those bees. Freedom, but don't go
they'll be sure. That's a joke. I mean, that's just
that's just good comedy. You can't right stuff.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
If y'all realize that these people who want to be kings,
they don't they don't mean.
Speaker 8 (45:59):
I mean, they tell you one thing and they live
a totally different way. I'm not talking about a slip.
I don't mean they wasn't perfect way. We're all in
that boat. It's a joke, a life joke.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
Ricking Bubba, ricking Bubba.
Speaker 3 (46:16):
Our kids are growing up and a really really concerning
era where there seems to be an attempt by revisionists
to change the history of the country and especially the
Christian heritage and the acknowledgment of the Judeo Christian God
as the only God. And there's been all sorts of
(46:36):
debate and one of the things we've said on the program,
which I really believe is the way.
Speaker 4 (46:40):
To make this case.
Speaker 3 (46:42):
It's one I should say, it's it's one of the
most important elements in making the case about what we
call the Establishment Clause. Now, first of all, we've said
that this term separation of church and state that is
tossed around everywhere you look, and the way it's being
defined is life affable. That that does not appear anywhere
(47:03):
in the Declaration or the Constitution. It's not there, Bill
of Right, not there. So so that that is a
letter by Thomas Jefferson that if you study the letter
was from him to a Baptist church assuring them that
this wall that the Establishment Clause created was a one
way wall and that the church would not be influenced
by the government. That image is clear in the letter.
(47:27):
So so, but but then then comes this element which
we'll read some excerpts today with Thanksgiving coming up on Thursday,
because the nation seems to have completely forgotten what Thanksgiving
was originally design for. And so we we also make
the case, which I think is strong. If you look
at the first Congress, you look at the founders, and
(47:49):
you look at the way they implemented the establishment clause. Well,
it can't be the way we're implementing it now because
that's not what they did. So if they didn't do that,
then it can't be what they're intent was. I think
that's a great argument. You know, they had church services
in the Capitol building, Christian church services, they had them
in the Treasury, and they rotated different denominations who would
(48:11):
bring the message, but it was always a Christian pastor
or whatever you call the leader of your Christian church.
And you can find notes in the Library of Congress
where they made notes about the sermon. No one was
required to attend, but it was there. The establishment clause
was set up because of what they were fleeing from
the Church of England. They did not want this country
(48:32):
to have a government that would mandate to the people,
this is your religion and you will be this religion
mainly denomination.
Speaker 4 (48:41):
It really wasn't even about religion. It was about what
Christian denomination you were.
Speaker 3 (48:44):
Allowed to be, and that you could freely worship the
Judaeo Christian God the way you deemed to be what
your heart called you to the government could not make you.
They wouldn't establish the official denomination of our country. That's
what the establishment clause was created for, by the way
they live their lives. Okay, So to prove that again
and today, if we were living in today's you know,
(49:07):
revision of our history, Abraham Lincoln. Now, raise your hand
if you think Abraham Lincoln is an American icon that
most people respect. I mean, I know we have some
some relatives that think that maybe there were some things
he did work correct, But I'm talking about.
Speaker 8 (49:21):
Overall what we be the ones that call him a
war criminal, right right?
Speaker 5 (49:24):
Right?
Speaker 3 (49:25):
Look now what we also credit him with what abolishing
slavery in this country?
Speaker 2 (49:30):
Right?
Speaker 3 (49:31):
Of course he was a Republican. I might want to
add that, but uh the but so right? I mean,
how many people do you hear I'm talking about liberals? Yes,
when you ask them who their favorite president is, I mean, boom,
Abraham Lincoln. You're that from the liberals, you know, and
a lot of Abraham Lincoln just seems to be one
of those people that, no matter what your political flavor,
that everybody at least has a certain amount of respect
(49:53):
for him, if not, if not, considered him to be
one of the greatest. I mean, you work us through
the civil War. That's a pretty big deal, it is. Okay,
let's hear what he said. These are his words. By
the way. By the way, we also don't seem to
be getting more intelligent, and we're examples of that too.
The words, the way we used to write was much
more beautiful than I think email and all that's killed us.
I mean, he really was, and he was not of
(50:15):
a lot of education, but even the education he received
seems to be superior to what we receive now.
Speaker 4 (50:21):
By the way he wrote it was pretty incredible. All right.
So here's what he says.
Speaker 3 (50:24):
I'm not gonna give you the whole Thanksgiving speech because
it's too long, but John want to pull out a
couple of things. Listen how he starts the proclamation by
the President of the United States. This was an eighteen
sixty three I believe, yes, eighteen sixty three. Of course,
he puts at the bottom telling you the date in
the year of our Lord. All right, make a note of.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
That, all right.
Speaker 3 (50:44):
So anyway, here's what he says. At the beginning, the
year is drawing towards its close. This is after the
Civil War. It has been filled with the blessings of
fruitful fields, helpful skies to these bounties, which are so
constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source
from which they come. Others have been added, which are
(51:05):
of so extraordinary a nature that they cannot fail to
penetrate and soften even the heart, which is habitually insensible
to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God.
Speaker 8 (51:18):
Now, Rick, this was during the warty.
Speaker 4 (51:21):
Okay, I thought I thought it was toward the end
of it.
Speaker 9 (51:22):
Right.
Speaker 4 (51:23):
Here's what he says on this first Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (51:24):
First of all, he's saying, we are so blessed, we
forget sometimes where our blessings come from.
Speaker 4 (51:30):
And this is the President.
Speaker 3 (51:31):
He goes on to say, even some of you that
have a kind of a fringe belief in God, you
can look in nature and see him. It looks foolish
not to believe in him. This is the President.
Speaker 4 (51:41):
Okay, then I'm skipping a prayer of down the bottom.
Speaker 3 (51:44):
No human counsel hath devised, nor hath any mortal hand
worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts
of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us
in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. He
is talking about the mercy through Jesus Christ. He's saying
(52:04):
that God, even though we sinned against him, showed mercy
on us. Well, the only belief system Deist don't believe that. Okay,
only Judeo Christians believe that God showed mersty mercy by
sending his son Christ to die for our sins. So
he's speaking of Christianity.
Speaker 4 (52:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (52:23):
This is the President on the Proclamation of Thanksgiving. It
has seemed to me fit and proper that they should
be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart
and one voice, by the whole American people. I do
therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the
United States, and also those who are at sea and
(52:46):
those who are sojoering in foreign lands, to set apart
and observe the last Thursday of November next as a
day of thanksgiving and praise to our benefit Father, who
has given us the benefits who dwelleth in the heavens.
Speaker 4 (53:04):
Now.
Speaker 3 (53:04):
This is the President of the United States saying we're
going to set aside a day that we're not going
to forget that everything we have comes from our loving
Father in Heaven, that even though we sinned against him,
showed us mercy, and we should never as a nation
forget where our blessings come from. They come from Almighty God.
And listen that he says that there has been no
(53:25):
other hand that has brought this other than Almighty God.
A day of thanksgiving and praise for the Father who
dwelleth in heaven. And then of course he goes on
into some other things, but at the end and then
he dates it with his signature in the year of
our Lord October the third, and what's by alway's my
(53:45):
birthday in eighteen hundred and sixty three, and even puts
the year of our Lord.
Speaker 4 (53:50):
Now, that was the president.
Speaker 3 (53:51):
So by the way we define the establishment clause today
and toss around the term separation of church and state,
he would have been deemed to have violated it.
Speaker 4 (54:02):
So, I mean, if he did that and.
Speaker 3 (54:04):
Everybody acknowledged that it was the right thing to do,
and no one ever said, hey, it's present, you can't
say that you can't do that, well, then it's not
possible that the way we're doing it today was their intent.
Speaker 4 (54:17):
Can't be because that's not the way they did it.
Speaker 8 (54:21):
Rick he in the paragraph in the middle that you
did not read. In that he also points out that
while they're in the midst of the civil war of
unequal magnitude, that it seems that it would be a
time for foreign states to invite and provoke their aggression.
But he said peace has been preserved with all nations.
Order has been maintained, says harmony has prevailed everywhere except
(54:45):
in the theater of military conflict, while that theater has
been greatly and he talks about the advancing armies and
navies of the North, but he's also giving thanks that
the United States was not attacked by foreign power during
this time of civil war.
Speaker 3 (55:00):
Well, then you know what he is saying that because
I was doing that. First of all, slavery was abolished
in this country because of religious convictions. You hear people
try to change that. That was the stone wall that
everybody kept running into. Well, so we said that God
created all men equal, Then why are we doing this?
(55:21):
And here he is saying, because we're doing the things
we're doing, God has protected us from attack from foreign leans,
which he did.

Yes, I just want to thank you guys so much.
I've been listening to you guys for about five years now,

me really hungry every time we listened to it.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
So when you were in prison, you're still there, yes, sir?
Are are you?
Speaker 8 (05:00):
Are you incarcerated right now?

a perspective we normally don't have. What was worse the
gobble Gobble song or prison? Right?

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yes? It to say this.
Speaker 9 (06:04):
My doctor has six fingers, but I enjoyed my prosthetic
on Friday more than I did.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
That's now, James, there's a controversy that comes with Thanksgiving
every year. And uh and Bubba and I don't know
how this started, but you know where we come from.
The gravy that you put on dressing and on the
turkey that had some of the inside.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Of the turkey in it. Right, what do you call that? James?
It starts with a g right, that is correct.
Speaker 10 (06:36):
I see, I know where you're going with this, and
I've heard both ways, and I honestly don't know, but
I call it giblet.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Well, my gosh, what are you a communist? It's giblet.
Speaker 10 (06:47):
It's change it from this very moment on for the
rest of my life.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I mean, I mean, my daughter flew in last night
from from Philadelphia. Did I run over there and go, oh,
my little Jural is home? And at Christmas you don't
sing gory to the world.
Speaker 10 (07:05):
No, I give the baby giblet.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
You ran at it and you left the head out.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
It was funny if y'all had to pony to die.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I love you so much, But but we don't.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
We don't know, we don't. Uh So, James, what will
be your Thanksgiving plans?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
What do you do?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
What is the I work every Thanksgiving, but you don't
go until late, so you're gonna get the lunch with
the family.
Speaker 10 (07:38):
Yeah, well, we'll be about, let's see, fifty miles away
from where I work and go down and have big
lunch with the family and then drive back and do
the television thing tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
So it'll be fantastic.
Speaker 9 (07:50):
You know.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
The only thing. I don't get a nap.
Speaker 10 (07:52):
You know, there's something about that Thanksgiving nap when you're
sitting in that beach.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
You know what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
We're gonna watch you on TV and say, y'all watch
James tried to do the forecast high on trip to fan.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
You know, I don't know if it's if it's the turkey,
if it's the turkey that makes you sleepy, the food
that you eat, or the Detroit line.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Well, the good the good thing about it though, is
that they're the early game.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Because here's the thing at my house that drives. My
wife doesn't like this. My wife goes through such an
effort to make this homemade cranberry sauce and I don't
like cranberry sauce. And it drives the area. It's almost
like every year she forces me. She you know what
she says. She said, well, it makes everything moist. I said,
that's what gravy's for. That's what the gravy's for.
Speaker 10 (08:37):
So what what's your biggest objection with it?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
I just don't like its texture.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I don't And you look, you don't know the way
it looks, well, you know.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
To me, it looks like ketchup that has gone bad,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
And what about the people that don't even have real cranberries?
An if they pull like that gelatin version of it
and you set it down, it still has the ripples
in it from the can.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Yeah, who want sa that? It's like something that went bad.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
The same can opener You open the dog food with that, man,
you know what I mean, And it looks the same.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
It's just colors.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
So at least my wives has real cranberries and you
can see them and it's homemade. But here's another thing
that's a little quirky about me, and this is where
Thanksgiving gives me some issues. Sometimes I like to have
my salty food then have desserts. I don't like foods
that parade in on the salty plate, like a sweet
potato casserole, you know, a cranberry saying look at us,
(09:29):
we're sweet tasting, but we're gonna get over her on
your gravy and you're dressing in your turkey, and like, no, no, no,
I'll see you after I'm done with this. When my
palette is wanting something sweet, so I don't like to
combine them on the place. What's the order. Well, this
is me. I go over and buddy, I'm scooping to please.
And I go over there and I heap dressing on,
(09:49):
and my mother in law will bring her world famous
dressing from Guntersville and I will be face down in
it and I'll put that on the plate. Then my
mom will bring her homemade squashed casserole, macaroni and cheese.
They'll jump on there. So I got a lot of
yellow going, you know what I mean, and a lot
of start yes. And then I get my turkey white
meat only, and I pilot.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
Like dark meat, like no, I love dark mat.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
And then sometimes I'll run over and get a little
country ham if it's honey, if it's honey Chris baked,
and I'll.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
Throw it at that edge.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
By the way, I was devastated yesterday. My honey baked
ham place near my house is closed. And when our
business lost.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
My mind pulled in the parking lot ready for my
honey baked ham and they were closed, and I could
see it was closed, but I wouldn't give it up.
At one point my face was on the window, going,
are y'all just remodeling for the big open? Just say,
just say pardon our progress.
Speaker 8 (10:36):
Well, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what, Rick,
somebody must have stolen money because that place was packed.
I don't see how they body must have ripped them all.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
I think you're right, so so I do that. And
then I mean, I learned from my grandfather God rest
is soul and has already gone to glory. But he
could get more on a plate than any man I'd
ever seen.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
And then I just take gravy and just put gravy
on all of it that they're in the prayer, Rick, Yeah,
my grandfather would would mumble a prayer, and everybody, out
of respect to the patriarch, didn't know when to look up,
but he would mumble it so he can move over
to the table start scooping. Before we realize he was
done with the prayer. So you look up, he'd have
about half his playful going everywhere.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
The line is do y'all use do y'all use like
real plates or do you use that plastic?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Now we'll we'll turn up real for for the biggie.
Speaker 10 (11:23):
Matter of fact, Sherry, I gotta ask you this on
this cranberry sauce thing, is a courtesy to your wife.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Do you take a little bit sometimes if she gives
me that look, I do.
Speaker 8 (11:32):
And when you had that dog that won't sit in
your lap all the time, you could flip.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
It to him. I don't have that dog.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
You know that's tough. The kids did it.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
This is this is where I'll spoon feed one of
the twins that's new to the family.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
You know, tins open up y'all on solid food.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Yet you know the problem though, and you pointed out,
is getting it all and supporting it on a plate
because it gets head dressings a head regular. So I
got one uncle that uses a walk, I mean bigger.
You know it's crazy. See, he just keep scooping perfect.
Greg does Greg like dark ment absolutely. I know he
likes things dark like he's like he does his women.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
You know what. You know what I mean? And and
just like just like my and my children like dark men,
like they can learn how.
Speaker 8 (12:17):
Love dark man. Greg can keep. I mean, Rick can have.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
The white man. I'm into that white man. I don't
eat tendons and muscles and wires.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
I do all right, I love it. James, have a
good Thanksgiving g badj.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Ricking bubba, ricking bubba.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
It is the food playoffs. The New Zealand Medical Journal
said they listened forty nine foods that all people should avoid.
We went through these forty nine picking out foods that
we did not think we could live without. We then
set up a playoff of the top sixteen foods that
we all must have, and we are down to the
(12:56):
final four. Chocolate made its way there by defeating bacon
and salt, ssage and even ice cream. Butter finds its
way into the final four after defeating crackers and pop tarts.
Fried Foods finds its way into the final four by
annihilating pies and also defeating a narrow victory over sugar.
The biscuits have found it their way into the final
(13:18):
four after defeating nuts and also defeating milkshakes. These were
not easy decisions, and now we're down to the final four. Chocolate, butter,
fried foods, biscuits. That's where we find ourselves. And you know,
you know, I want you to realize before we go
any further, if this were real, we have just said
(13:40):
that we are done with ice cream, bacon and sausage, doughnuts,
frozen yogurt, crackers, pop tarts, energy drinks, chips, pies, nuts,
milkshakes and syrup right of our life said.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
They were gonna be easy choices. Rick, that's just the way.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
And I'm frustrated because I think that energy drinks is
on there. It shouldn't be because we thought Bubba thought, hey,
Gatorade or whatever pedia light is and it's not an
energy drinkable. Well, I mean, on the list of energy drinks,
it's it's it's not on there neither.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
This is what it's saying is that it's trying to
get you to do away with caffeine and and those types.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Right, So no, no, like red Bull, Monster rock Star,
that very bad would be.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Yeah, that would be considered. Of course, I'd have to
get rid of verve. That'd be tough.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Let's get into that is I know, let's get full
throt all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
I got it. Let's look at our first match up
in the final four.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Love, I'm afraid it's chocolate versus butter amp energy. The
only problem is about this, you can't really have chocolate
without butter.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
But we'll ignore that. But that's a good point. It's
a great point anyway.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
If let's say, if if we're stranded on them island,
Well said give them again, Rick, come on, chocolate versus
butter is in the first is our first round of
the final four?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Which what's one of those? Do we say goodbye to you?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Which if you say goodbye to butter, it means we're
eating chocolate without butter.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I don't do that. I'm going with chocolate. Can you
not do that for me?
Speaker 8 (15:21):
If you're I'm gonna say, butter is in everything? We
eat everything?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Do we still get to have margarine? I can live
with that.
Speaker 8 (15:31):
That's a very good question.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
I can live with that.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
Well, I think we're gonna have to question. I think
we're gonna have to take it at face value.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
So you're saying goodbye margin and butter.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
Yeah, it's a problem.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
I just ignore that. Just but don't like let's just
say it chocolate or butter.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
I think late. If I have to get you picked,
chocolate is the cure, Greg picked chocolate. I keep. I
pick butter as a keeper.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Rick.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
It comes if I have to get rid of something
and I'm on an island, I'd rather have food with butter,
so I would chocolate. When I have to catch Chocolate's
fine for one day, but day in day.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Out, man, that's gonna get hope. I'm not on the
island though.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
Well, food, what we're going to have on the island
you mine as well, you're.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Taking out of your dot. I'm the deciding vote on this.
It's a different list. What foods will you have on
an island? Yeah, that's a totally different list, like energy drinks.
So all if I had to remove some are on
the island, if I had to, if I had to
remove one of these two from my dot, I would
remove butter and keep you.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Okay, so chocolate against who rick?
Speaker 8 (16:36):
This next one will be a blowout then, all right?
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Fried food versus biscuits, fried food, fried food?
Speaker 8 (16:42):
Easy one.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
So it's fried food against chocolate. What an amazing match.
Speaker 8 (16:46):
It's it's it's it's the meal. It's the meal versus dessert.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
What an amazing match up? You know?
Speaker 8 (16:54):
For me, it's not it's not that difficult now.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Well and then, and we'll all make our cases to me,
it really isn't that difficulty. And I'll tell you why.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
I go back to what I've what I've been ranting
about on the program for the last few weeks.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I'm hung.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
At one time, this country was great, and it was
great when it was not afraid of fried food. When
we began, when we started becoming afraid of fried food,
we became a bunch of pudds as a country.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
And and and we've.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Never we have not had a decisive victory since, by
the way, Okay, So I believe that we as a
society where we were a better people back when we
were not afraid of fried food. Okay, because now you
have people that are afraid of fried food, but they
still like chocolate. So really, chocolate is is not done
(17:43):
for our society what fried food's done for it? Frank Now,
I know they're chocolate. I know there's women right now
that are kicking the radio because I know how you
are with you chocolate, Okay, and I understand it. I
live with a chocolate chocoholic. I know about it all right, Okay,
I am borderline chocoholic.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
Where I am to you, we all are, but who
among us or not?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
But if you said Rick, for the rest of your days,
you got to walk away from your friend chocolatey or
your friend fried food. Yeah, never to never take them
in again again. I cannot live with that fright food.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
I will second that most bo now you're on an island.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
How you fry in your feet? But no, we're not
on an isle of them. This is not an isle
of glass chocolas Melton.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
The key is we're doing away with it. We're we
can't worse to starving Rick. I'm vote with you.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
I agree.
Speaker 8 (18:29):
I can't do food is too wide of a cacula
to mess.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Two votes for fried food. We're looking for one vote.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
Anybody will he puts it over so.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
It wins overwhelmingly.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
We've just come to the conclusion that the Rick and
Bubba Show cannot live with that.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Fried food. It is the king of all foods.
Speaker 8 (18:46):
Yep, it is.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Yeah, I mean, look, and I think we know that
the only hope for me. And I've actually tried this now.
It doesn't appear that I'm doing it now, but I
have gone through periods of time where fried food I
do partake of it in moderation, but but I cannot
do away with it at all.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
I can't.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
I can't turn my back on fried chicken. I just can't.
Can you turn your back on French fries? Probably not.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
I can't. I could do that.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
No French fries I could do. I could do with that.
French fries. Could you do with that? Fried chicken?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Noh?
Speaker 8 (19:18):
Are we talking about chicken livers here? They're fried anything
fried chicken.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Let me look at cause I with you a lot.
Let me tell you this. That would include boneless buffalo wings,
I don't know wings, boneless chicken fingers, chicken breast, chicken legs.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
You know, yeah, yes, I'm on things. Quit talking, goodbye?
Speaker 8 (19:37):
Fried Okrah, don't talk anymore.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Oh, fried livers, pickles, don't forget.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
I don't like fried pickles. You know tomatoes? Can I
tell you what's weird about my relationship with fried pickle?
I told you I love fried shrimp, fried bronco? Great?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
How about this? Let me this is I got a
weird relationship with fried pickles. My wife likes them, my son,
my son, one of my sons really likes them. Every
time they're brought to the table. I want to like them,
and I try them, and remember, I don't like it.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Just called you're hungry. I just don't like fried pickles.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I was about to say, do you I'm.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Imagine this?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Well, we'll be having this March night fried seafood platter.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
The best bubba.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
I understand that the Betty Lou bussy Is is hosting
this year, and it's going to uh to cook Thanksgiving
for everybody.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
You know.
Speaker 8 (20:27):
Uh. The past few years we've been very fortunate. Well,
we catered it with a good friend of ours who
you've heard on show, Uncle Luther, who does a wonderful job.
And uh, but this year he's he's unable to do that.
He's out of town. So Betty has fired got the
kitchen fired up.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
So how is that going?
Speaker 8 (20:48):
Oh, I'm sure it's going.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Well.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
I'm just trying to stay out of there.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Now. Didn't you take a bunch of classes on how
to cook like me?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Mom?
Speaker 8 (20:54):
She did, she took cooking like grandma a few years ago.
And Betty is really a good cook. He just doesn't
have the time to, you know, to dedicate to it.
But wow, the pressure's only when you do Thanksgiving, I mean,
good gracious.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yeah, we've we've hosted, I guess starting maybe three four
years ago. And there's a lot of pressure comes with that,
a lot.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
Yeah, And you know a lot of my family I
hate to have them over and them have to cook
and all that, and some of them are not able
to do that like they used too. So I want
them to come and fellowship and must have a good
time in vis right.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Absolutely.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
Uh. But while when Betty volunteered to do that, I'm like, wow, yeah,
not that I didn't think she could do it, but
I just didn't want her to go through the stress
of that, because that's stress will somehow work its way
down to Well.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I was going to say that in a very selfish way.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I tell you our house, when we're hosting something like
this about seventy two hours out, you better react together.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Yeah are you? Can you run into the Mama bus? Saw? Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
She she's already got some Christmas trees up because she
knew she's gonna be rushed and not feel like doing
it tomorrow. So and then you know, me trying to,
you know, get up. Some people watch the ball game
today after Thanksgiving. Now you know it gets in the
way too.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Well, I'm not trying to say there's pressure at our
house and you're you're seeing it to you this year,
especially if they're having to prepare. But I mean one
of the kids came in from school yesterday and through
his jacket on the floor and I dove on it
like a fumble, and what do you doing you out
of your mind. Mom's got this house cleaned up. We
got suit I'm not touching anything for two days.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
Don't touch it. Matter of fact, you need somewhere to
go and live so you don't mess up everything. Yeah,
and Betty even announced last night, she said, I'm gonna
have everything cooked, everything ready. We can't mess the kitchen up.
We got to go out and eat tonight.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
I know what I mean it really there's a lot
of pressure comes with that.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
So you know, get ready for cheap Mexican.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
So are y'all taking on the big the big time turkey.
Speaker 8 (22:36):
Oh, she's doing all that rick, all that you talk
about it night now, I know, I know, And I'm
just I'm scared, not that she can do it. I'm
just scared for, you know, her being ill at me
for something that I didn't want. That's what you got
to look out for. I'm looking at her selfish at
this and I know.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
That is that where you just say yes, ma'am when
she gives you a list of things to do around
the house.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
I just kind of stay out of there, just stay
clear that. That's why to check my text, you know,
every ten if.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
You're cooking a Turkey like us. It's pick enough to
feed to the two families. You gotta start cooking it.
Like today, that's.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
When you have to get the Yeah, that's when you
have to get the kids out of the house and go.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
I got them. I'll just that's what I take care
of it. I've already asked, sure of what the kids
are doing today? Yeah, because the day't gonna be around
that house, and I agree, I'm ready to move out
of there.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
Just keep moving. I'm even afraid to get them because
I'm afraid we'll need something. I have to call back.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Yeah, when you get within the window you're in right now,
you got You gotta be careful because I don't call
my wife unless she calls me.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
That's the only time we talk because I know if
I call, I could call into something.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Right, well here, what about this question? Where are you
right now? Uh?
Speaker 8 (23:39):
Indiana?
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Yeah? Uh, nowhere near a grocery store.
Speaker 8 (23:43):
I'll tell you, yeah, yeah, there's no one for thirty minutes.
And either way, I'm not hunting. Yeah, I'll tell you.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
What I'm not doing is it's having fun and taking
no responsibility about Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Yeah, I know, that's.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
All what I'm doing is at the worst when you
called home and you hear commotion in the background, kids
fighting and stuff, and you're like saying, hello, I can't.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Hear you by the pressure yesterday and the day I
told you to know you're sixes right, Oh yeah, the
presser you hun.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Yeah, the pressure yesterday and today was went away because
because the kids were in school and I knew I
was picking them up after school so they couldn't mess
it up. Here's my bad days. Today we're twenty four
hours some Thanksgiving and the boys are out of school today.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
I know, I'm you. They're at home right now without me.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Yeah, which means trouble. That the mean when we when
we call home, there's no telling how may commercials. I
gotta cut the day because you call home today and
I guarantee they've got themselves some trouble.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
I guarantee it. Yeah, no way, that's not going out.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
And you know, when mama feels that pressure of twenty
four hours of Thanksgiving, you better be real careful. You're
not just walking on walking on thin ice here, you're
walking on water.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I made the mistake. Terry looked at me. She said,
this house is a mess. I said, no, it's not.
And as soon as I said no, it's not, I went,
what are you doing? You stupid eatiot? She looked at
me like, are you serious? Have you looked around here?
And that's when you go, yes, ma'am, you start picking
stuff up. I know what you're picking up?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Guys. As we speak? What as we speak? I've been
text my list for the day. No, just got it?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me. Oh my gosh,
it's got Walmart and Target on it. What I've had it? Please? Rick,
give me your life. I don't know. I don't go
into those two places on regular days, much less right before.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Rick, Well, that's because you think a convenience store should
have everything you need.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
I don't buy anything get big discount stores because it's
too big and there's too many people there, and then
you can't get in and.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Half the registers aren't of an open hit It isn't
it frustrating when you stand in a long line and
there's ten of them that are open.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah, my wife, nobody's there.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
My wife has got so upset because I've actually bought
bread home from places she didn't know.

Speaker 8 (27:10):
Now listen, this is all you all do when you

Speaker 2 (27:57):

Speaker 4 (27:59):
Because he's as smaller.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Than you are?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Oh sure he is. Well, you know college students from
up north. You know all college students think they're smart.
Of course that all it means they're good at school.
They don't know Jack.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
You know what, they know slightly more than groundhog and
they don't know Jack.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
So I don't know about that, but I'll do I'll
do the rest of it. That's pretty mild though. That's
not too bad.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
But see the more you run around now where you
go get the boys and get them out and go
do that list or do that list on the way home.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Uh, you know what, I don't need more trouble. I
agree with that. That just gives him more chill. Here's
a bigger chance to get But Babba's really hit on it.
The problem is I'll bring home the wrong pictures. You
won't be the right tea pictures, and I have to
go back.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
Rick. This is what it sounds like.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Rick, what now? This is what y'all says?
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Because I hate when they just so you thought those
were the right ones to get you thought that was
the right picture.
Speaker 8 (28:50):
You know, that doesn't match our glasses. What glasses we
have glasses.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Fried food?
Speaker 5 (28:58):
You know?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
We're Now, this is what's wrong with America today. We're
afraid of fried food. We become afraid of it.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
I mean we we run from it, we read about it,
we put born in labels.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
We are gripped in fear.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Talk show guests, Now, let's disregard the fact that we
won two World Wars on fraud food, right?
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Okay?
Speaker 9 (29:17):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (29:17):
And how about this, can we honestly.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
Says fried food has defeated.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Right right, fried food one when it came to stir
fried versus fried fried one convincingly? Okay, Now let's say
this okay, and also we be boiled too the Germans.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
So here's the thing. Was America a stronger, better country?
Were the men less pudds when we ate fried food
or when we became afraid of it? Can you honestly
say that America is a better place since we become
afraid of fried food?
Speaker 8 (29:50):
Well, we have a story out of the Telegraph today
from Britain, and the headline says fried food heart risk
a myth. And you know where we get this information,
warn Buffets secretary. That's why she makes the big bucks
right Rick for her. A rather intensive and big research
(30:15):
project with over forty thousand people studied went on from
the mid the mid nineties to two thousand and four,
and they studied fried food, their habits, eating at home
and abroad, and also followed it up with coronary heart disease,
heart attacks and in Johina requiring surgery. That's right in Johina.
(30:39):
I know I'm going to joke about it. I know,
I love it, gonna tell her a lot. I know
I tell it well too.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
By the way, I did you.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
Clean your ears out? And Joina, I'm.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Glad go I've got a cute and Johnna will I'll
tell you what. I'm glad to hear that, because that's the.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
Dividing dividing groups that prayer time is not working. There
are one.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Of my favorite because I tell you that maybe the other.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
Hams take something hit that bad book so quick laughing.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Because the laughers of the one encouraging laughers are the
one who encourage you.
Speaker 8 (31:25):
You know, I just saved my breath over here. It's good, Rick.
Here is the key they studied basically the Mediterranean diet
versus that of Europe.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Now what have we always heard on that note? Well,
if Americans we just moved to that Mediterranean dit and
stop all this fried food, we all be a health
their country.
Speaker 8 (31:44):
Well, the Mediterranean diet. Guess what they fry to They
use a lot of olive and sunflowering, and the big
difference is the way they do it. Uh, fried foods
from modern American style uses owls that are reused and
typically higher and trans fats. So we take away from
(32:04):
that the fact that it may be what you're frying
the food in, not the fact that you're frying it.
Speaker 11 (32:12):
Do we know if the taste? Do we eat anything
that's in? What they say kind of hole is good
for you?
Speaker 4 (32:17):
A lot of people are moving to the morning.
Speaker 8 (32:19):
I'm asking you olive and sunflow.
Speaker 11 (32:20):
You know this comes out like, hey, fried food is good,
and now if it's gonna taste crappy.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
No, No, I've had the sunflower oil. It's not that bad.
I'm just curious now maybe what trans fat and our
ols want.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Good bottom line is the country was better when we
ate fried food, even when we didn't care what all
it was in okay, but I won't try them.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
I'm concerned about the story.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
Rick they have tracked. There's no comparison they say, in
the amount of heart attacks that came out of the
out of the British study versus the Mediterranean, where the
only difference is olive and sunflower oil. And the fact
that they don't reuse it.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
Yeah, I got no problem making those adjustments.
Speaker 11 (32:56):
Yeah, we'll let all we'll use it a why, yes,
we We'll put in that fry and put that old
plastic lived on it.
Speaker 8 (33:01):
Some of you know, you changed it and and James
Gregory made a great point of this. I think it's
healthier to do that because no bacteria can survive boiling
hot grease.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Some of the most impressive, some of the most impressive
men I've ever known, and some and most of them
lived to be in their eighties. Some of their finest
moments were sitting next to a vat of bowling oil,
dropping corn meal, breaded fish and hush puppies into it.
You knew it was done when it floated to the top.
You fished it out with you little you little fish
(33:32):
out metal net thing. You threw it over on a
paper towel, that soaked up the grease from it, and
you ate it, difed it little catch's And let me
tell us some of the finest men I've ever known,
compared to the men that did, They say this, meet
some more.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
I can have a salad. There's no comparison these to
ate a salad. The last time we were had a
had a lunch had.
Speaker 8 (33:51):
Beef on it. Yeah, Greg, Greg messed up order and
he didn't really want.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
To y'all sit beside each other. Too little salad.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
There's a loss trying not to jake the bill up?
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Right?
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Who was paying for somebody's kicked You didn't care? How
about this, somebody's kicked the door in. They're coming in
to to to to attack the family. Do you want
a man to stand there and protect the family that
ate fried fish, hush puppies and and and those those
big fat hobo potatoes? Or do you want the guy
that had a grilled chicken salad that day? Who do
(34:23):
you want protecting the family?
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Good point?
Speaker 8 (34:26):
Huh, No comparison, right, I.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Mean, they ranted he may not live as long, but
why he was here we were safe for a short period.
He was a bad.
Speaker 8 (34:34):
Dude, Rick, They said. The Mediterranean died also included slightly
more fruits and vegetables, only a small amount, which they
said also could help, but was not enough to vastly
change the survey.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
I'm not anti fruit or vegetable, so it didn't there. Well, sure,
look it's moderation. But this thing that we're afraid of fried.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
That, I mean, we're like afraid of it. I mean,
how about moderation. It's almost like fried food comes in.
You can't stop it. It bolts in your house, are
jumping in your mouth. I mean, look, if you use
as a jack to get your mouth, it jumps in.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
I tell you I can't eating the moderation because it
tastes good. Yes, I might check out his new olls, though,
ain't I.
Speaker 8 (35:15):
Don't know if I've had that on something fried or not.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
I don't have I have it.
Speaker 11 (35:19):
You're talking about fried chicken when I have some kind
of weird I have.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Can I say you made a big fuss about it?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Can I tell you I love something that I love
something that's only kids order, and I kind of sometimes
am embarrassed to order it. But I have to admit
I like popcorn shrimp.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Of course, it's one of the greatest I've ever made.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
But but all the kids they're like, I want popcorn
read Dad, I'll go, I'll take it back.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Think about popcorn shrimp from a health From a popcorn
shrimp health standpoint, we call that one the two fer.
Not only are you eating something in this deep fried,
you're also eating something that is extremely high cliffs for
a I mean, you know, God, we fried a dangerous
fish and you got both in one hit.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
All that, But dogging it's good, isn't it that that?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
How about old fried catfish?
Speaker 4 (36:04):
Bonelets?
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Catch you talking about the river boat, specially one that's
about as long, one that's about as long as the plate.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Let me tell you this long Now it's hanging off
the plate.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Can't catch a large mouth, okay, catch a large mouth
to things, large mouth fresh water bass, filly it, get
your cornmeal right, drop it in that deep friar.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
Let her float to the top along with the hushbabies
that are floating in there with it.
Speaker 11 (36:28):
Don't don't don't forget the best eating fish around brim
No crappie or crappy depends on what croppy is you from.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
But I'm talking is the best it. Don't taste too fish.
Speaker 8 (36:38):
Right, I like, Greg, what do you mean by that?
Speaker 4 (36:41):
You know what? Fish tastes too fishy?
Speaker 8 (36:42):
I can't.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
It's a fish.
Speaker 8 (36:44):
No, y'all are wrong.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
It's like a game. He tasted the same thing. It's game.
Speaker 8 (36:49):
But to me, I've always hated that saying well, that's
too fishy, it's fish.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Such a dumb statement. Let me say this, it's too strong.
I tell you what I like to trap. It's perfect.
I tell I like to And our granddaddy, God rest
is so you know, he ate unhealthy and God hey,
and God love him. He didn't did He only lived
to be eighty. But anyway, the he would he could
take a brim because you don't fillate brewn or he loves,
and drop that whole brim in there. Could you cut
(37:16):
the head off of it? Everything else stays, gut it out,
everything else stays. Drop it in there in deep fright,
and then eat it off the bone. And he could
eat it off a bone to the point it looked
like a cat had it.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
And you look around, you.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Have a complete I mean, like something from a cartoon.
He would eat everything off the bin.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
The tail.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Yeah, and then and you need to tell tail like
a potato chip man. That's good and and and what's
the country better when we ate like that?
Speaker 4 (37:39):
Is it great? Now?
Speaker 3 (37:41):
We were a bunch of health nuts. Now we could
We couldn't win a world war right now if we.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
Had to rick you know, I think we wouldn't have
the stomach for it.
Speaker 8 (37:48):
Again, James Gregory, I think sums it up and his
routine so well about kids and learning and school. And
you know you can't go to school a bit excited
about learning.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
After having a banana.
Speaker 8 (37:59):
Yeah, you know for breakfast you have waffles and all that.
You sit there and listen.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Oh, absolutely, you know you're content.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
The point I'm making on that speed militarily we could right,
but the but the putt itization of the men here,
we'd be all freaking out. But if we go fight
and want if all they have us fried food, you
know that means that'd.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Bubba ricking bubba.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
One of the finest eating holidays we have, Thanksgiving. I
love it. I have some of the most wonderful memories.
Speaker 8 (38:26):
We're working out right now stretching our stomach.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
That's the one. That's the one. So so do you
Thanksgiving at the Gregory's what was it like, well, you know,
now I grew up.
Speaker 12 (38:42):
I won't overly answer your question, but it was extremely
special for us because we we live way out in
the country, and the definition of poor decades ago, we're
different than now. Now, you're poor if you don't have
a pool in the backyard, right, how that goes? Yeah, Well, see,
we lived out and I grew up in the area
words mainly dirt woods. We had about an eight mile
(39:02):
trip to the first blacktop and it was about sometime
a quarter mile, half mile or one mile between the neighbors.
Speaker 4 (39:08):
So that was my childhood.
Speaker 12 (39:10):
So we didn't have a lot of good food throughout
the year. So any time a holiday came, if somebody
had to steal it, we got it.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Amen.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
But you know, but you had there was no.
Speaker 12 (39:19):
Air condition, can people coming over everybody, you know, and
no heat, no heat for the winter holidays, no air
condition for the summer holidays. But they saw about sweat
mixed with a lima beans. I don't know, I think
that's what you really miss these days. It's the sweating
and the patent and the breathing and everybody everybody dreads
(39:42):
getting up, you know.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
Yeah, while we go out to the porch for a while.
Speaker 12 (39:46):
Well, we've got the other minute, just can't make it
to the port.
Speaker 13 (39:53):
Can I sell you one of my favorite James Gregory stories.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Yes, please, Keith.
Speaker 13 (39:57):
We were trailing. We were traveling I believe it was
South Carolina, and we were splitting the driving up and
I was behind the wheel in James's car. He was
in the passenger seat, and he took a little nap
for about thirty forty minutes.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (40:11):
He woke up and wasn't awake for ten seconds, and
he said, Keith, pull over on this egg. There's a
good meet in three up here.
Speaker 4 (40:16):
So you sensed it.
Speaker 8 (40:18):
I could tell he dreamed of it.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
And it was the best meeting three and in the
whole state.
Speaker 8 (40:23):
Some peoples knew. Some people have Google Maps, not James. Yeah,
he has a stomach.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
Try I remember exit numbers.
Speaker 12 (40:30):
If they got good food, get those numbers.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Sure.
Speaker 12 (40:32):
Sure, that shit three twelve coming out of Atlanta and
all coming towards Chattanooga and Nashville. That shit three twelve.
You can't beat it. If you're going from Chattanooga I
toward Knoxville. There's an exit sixty eight. It's where the
Sweet Order Valley cheese, farming cheese, thousands of acres of cows,
and I make their own cheese there going by this
(40:55):
cheese that's made on the spot.
Speaker 8 (40:57):
Oh did you see, James. It's the first time I
just got biggest saucers.
Speaker 4 (41:06):
It was the first time I was in that place.
Speaker 5 (41:07):
You know.
Speaker 12 (41:07):
I said, y'all have knives and forks and stuff. She's
the sweet This is not that eating establishment. We just
sell the cheese. I said, I'm gonna eat it the
car going out of a highway and I bought like
a two pound block you hate to just know on it.
And she went back there in her private office somewhere
and stole me a leather cutter.
Speaker 4 (41:30):
Yeah, I gave me a lever off.
Speaker 12 (41:32):
Maybe that's a hippien.
Speaker 5 (41:33):
See that.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
That's did you see why he's in the Hall of
Fame of Eating. Yeah, it's that kind.
Speaker 8 (41:37):
Not everybody can engineer that.
Speaker 12 (41:39):
No, you know who I feel sorry for this time
of year. Vegetarians absolutely, and the so called health nuts.
You know, there's there's vegetarians you run across some more
and more of these days. I don't know if there's sincere.
I think a lot of these people behind the scenes
really make a stop at Hardy's occasionally.
Speaker 4 (41:55):
Don't I doe?
Speaker 12 (41:56):
You know, But I tell you, and every time I
talk about these vegetarians emon stage, the audience starts to laugh.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
Here's what I told HI about. I see.
Speaker 12 (42:04):
You may think this is funny now, but if things
keep going out there going, eventually you could end up
with a vegetarian living right next door to you.
Speaker 8 (42:13):
Oh my, no, in the neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (42:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (42:15):
I mean, then what you're gonna do when you need
to bar some fat back?
Speaker 4 (42:20):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 8 (42:23):
Former President Bill Clinton is one of the featured speakers
at today's inaugural Weight of the Nation Calls Okay. It's
sponsored by the Disease the Center for Disease Control to
focus on obesity prevention and control. Of course, of Bill
Clinton has battled with his own weight. We had the
fast food runs, you remember that. Of course, he had
(42:43):
bypass surgery. But according to the Washington Post reliable source column,
and they have a photo to back it up, the
former president waited in line Saturday night at Burger at
Ze Burger in Washington, posing for photo and signing autographs
as his takeout order was ready. What was his order?
(43:05):
Double burger, hold the Mayo onion rings, French fries, and
an apple pie milkshake.
Speaker 4 (43:14):
So you know I'm speak of that obesity clinic. I'll
have an apple pie milk shake. Let me have fries
and onion rings. I'm gonna be healthy, holding mail on
my double cheeseburds.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
Hey, I want to talk to you all about fatness
and health care and obeesting stuff.
Speaker 8 (43:35):
All right, So, so if Bill Clinton will go and
have a double burger, hold the Mayo onion rings, French fries,
and an apple pie milkshake on his way to speak
at a conference called Weight of the Nation, And if
Al Gore and all of his cronies will take their
private jets to a conference to tell all of us
(43:57):
to park our SUV's because we're killing a planet? Is
it possible that some of these people might be hypocritical
in their position.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
Thing?
Speaker 8 (44:08):
It's hilarious, that's funny.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
I'll blame you. How about this, I've never even heard
of an apple pie milkshake? How many counter is that
something gonna? It's a dang an apple pie milkshake? Does
somebody take apple.
Speaker 4 (44:19):
Pie all I'm owed and just blend it up?
Speaker 8 (44:22):
Is that what that is.
Speaker 9 (44:25):
Even.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
I look at the apple pie milk shak go, man,
that's coming. I don't know about that.
Speaker 8 (44:29):
Yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 4 (44:33):
Want some fries?
Speaker 3 (44:34):
Can I have a are y'all cheese between it and
ranging fries? If I feel really guilty, I'll doll back.
Speaker 8 (44:41):
I'll dialve back to a vanilla milkshake because I feel
like it's not as bad as a chunk.
Speaker 4 (44:46):
If they offered me an apple pie, miss like, oh
that's too much.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
I didn't have a regular. I don't know about I
want two straws. So here's what I want, double cheeseburger.
Hold hold to my I'm trying to come back. Let
me have fries and onion rings. They have that apple
pie milk check out things sounds good and uh and
a dot coke and a dot coke.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
He has no friends because if there's one handler.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
Hey, hey Bill, Hey Bill, Hey buddy, I'm not trying
to tell you what to do. You know you're going
to that fat conference. I'm sorry, ob city conference in
a few minutes. Yeah, in a few minutes. Why don't
we stop and maybe have a real chicken. I don't
know if z Burger is a good choice. You know,
you know, what what you think about water burger?
Speaker 8 (45:31):
Now I know where he wanted to go. Hey, how
about some wings?
Speaker 3 (45:35):
Yeah, who feels like wings? So I mean, we'll do
that after I thought, we'll get wings.
Speaker 8 (45:43):
Now that's just funny. See, I think that that Bill
ought to be beat anywhere.
Speaker 4 (45:47):
He wants to do what he wants.
Speaker 8 (45:48):
But don't go to those bees. Freedom, but don't go
they'll be sure. That's a joke. I mean, that's just
that's just good comedy. You can't right stuff.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
If y'all realize that these people who want to be kings,
they don't they don't mean.
Speaker 8 (45:59):
I mean, they tell you one thing and they live
a totally different way. I'm not talking about a slip.
I don't mean they wasn't perfect way. We're all in
that boat. It's a joke, a life joke.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
Ricking Bubba, ricking Bubba.
Speaker 3 (46:16):
Our kids are growing up and a really really concerning
era where there seems to be an attempt by revisionists
to change the history of the country and especially the
Christian heritage and the acknowledgment of the Judeo Christian God
as the only God. And there's been all sorts of
(46:36):
debate and one of the things we've said on the program,
which I really believe is the way.
Speaker 4 (46:40):
To make this case.
Speaker 3 (46:42):
It's one I should say, it's it's one of the
most important elements in making the case about what we
call the Establishment Clause. Now, first of all, we've said
that this term separation of church and state that is
tossed around everywhere you look, and the way it's being
defined is life affable. That that does not appear anywhere
(47:03):
in the Declaration or the Constitution. It's not there, Bill
of Right, not there. So so that that is a
letter by Thomas Jefferson that if you study the letter
was from him to a Baptist church assuring them that
this wall that the Establishment Clause created was a one
way wall and that the church would not be influenced
by the government. That image is clear in the letter.
(47:27):
So so, but but then then comes this element which
we'll read some excerpts today with Thanksgiving coming up on Thursday,
because the nation seems to have completely forgotten what Thanksgiving
was originally design for. And so we we also make
the case, which I think is strong. If you look
at the first Congress, you look at the founders, and
(47:49):
you look at the way they implemented the establishment clause. Well,
it can't be the way we're implementing it now because
that's not what they did. So if they didn't do that,
then it can't be what they're intent was. I think
that's a great argument. You know, they had church services
in the Capitol building, Christian church services, they had them
in the Treasury, and they rotated different denominations who would
(48:11):
bring the message, but it was always a Christian pastor
or whatever you call the leader of your Christian church.
And you can find notes in the Library of Congress
where they made notes about the sermon. No one was
required to attend, but it was there. The establishment clause
was set up because of what they were fleeing from
the Church of England. They did not want this country
(48:32):
to have a government that would mandate to the people,
this is your religion and you will be this religion
mainly denomination.
Speaker 4 (48:41):
It really wasn't even about religion. It was about what
Christian denomination you were.
Speaker 3 (48:44):
Allowed to be, and that you could freely worship the
Judaeo Christian God the way you deemed to be what
your heart called you to the government could not make you.
They wouldn't establish the official denomination of our country. That's
what the establishment clause was created for, by the way
they live their lives. Okay, So to prove that again
and today, if we were living in today's you know,
(49:07):
revision of our history, Abraham Lincoln. Now, raise your hand
if you think Abraham Lincoln is an American icon that
most people respect. I mean, I know we have some
some relatives that think that maybe there were some things
he did work correct, But I'm talking about.
Speaker 8 (49:21):
Overall what we be the ones that call him a
war criminal, right right?
Speaker 5 (49:24):
Right?
Speaker 3 (49:25):
Look now what we also credit him with what abolishing
slavery in this country?
Speaker 2 (49:30):
Right?
Speaker 3 (49:31):
Of course he was a Republican. I might want to
add that, but uh the but so right? I mean,
how many people do you hear I'm talking about liberals? Yes,
when you ask them who their favorite president is, I mean, boom,
Abraham Lincoln. You're that from the liberals, you know, and
a lot of Abraham Lincoln just seems to be one
of those people that, no matter what your political flavor,
that everybody at least has a certain amount of respect
(49:53):
for him, if not, if not, considered him to be
one of the greatest. I mean, you work us through
the civil War. That's a pretty big deal, it is. Okay,
let's hear what he said. These are his words. By
the way. By the way, we also don't seem to
be getting more intelligent, and we're examples of that too.
The words, the way we used to write was much
more beautiful than I think email and all that's killed us.
I mean, he really was, and he was not of
(50:15):
a lot of education, but even the education he received
seems to be superior to what we receive now.
Speaker 4 (50:21):
By the way he wrote it was pretty incredible. All right.
So here's what he says.
Speaker 3 (50:24):
I'm not gonna give you the whole Thanksgiving speech because
it's too long, but John want to pull out a
couple of things. Listen how he starts the proclamation by
the President of the United States. This was an eighteen
sixty three I believe, yes, eighteen sixty three. Of course,
he puts at the bottom telling you the date in
the year of our Lord. All right, make a note of.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
That, all right.
Speaker 3 (50:44):
So anyway, here's what he says. At the beginning, the
year is drawing towards its close. This is after the
Civil War. It has been filled with the blessings of
fruitful fields, helpful skies to these bounties, which are so
constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source
from which they come. Others have been added, which are
(51:05):
of so extraordinary a nature that they cannot fail to
penetrate and soften even the heart, which is habitually insensible
to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God.
Speaker 8 (51:18):
Now, Rick, this was during the warty.
Speaker 4 (51:21):
Okay, I thought I thought it was toward the end
of it.
Speaker 9 (51:22):
Right.
Speaker 4 (51:23):
Here's what he says on this first Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (51:24):
First of all, he's saying, we are so blessed, we
forget sometimes where our blessings come from.
Speaker 4 (51:30):
And this is the President.
Speaker 3 (51:31):
He goes on to say, even some of you that
have a kind of a fringe belief in God, you
can look in nature and see him. It looks foolish
not to believe in him. This is the President.
Speaker 4 (51:41):
Okay, then I'm skipping a prayer of down the bottom.
Speaker 3 (51:44):
No human counsel hath devised, nor hath any mortal hand
worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts
of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us
in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. He
is talking about the mercy through Jesus Christ. He's saying
(52:04):
that God, even though we sinned against him, showed mercy
on us. Well, the only belief system Deist don't believe that. Okay,
only Judeo Christians believe that God showed mersty mercy by
sending his son Christ to die for our sins. So
he's speaking of Christianity.
Speaker 4 (52:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (52:23):
This is the President on the Proclamation of Thanksgiving. It
has seemed to me fit and proper that they should
be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart
and one voice, by the whole American people. I do
therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the
United States, and also those who are at sea and
(52:46):
those who are sojoering in foreign lands, to set apart
and observe the last Thursday of November next as a
day of thanksgiving and praise to our benefit Father, who
has given us the benefits who dwelleth in the heavens.
Speaker 4 (53:04):
Now.
Speaker 3 (53:04):
This is the President of the United States saying we're
going to set aside a day that we're not going
to forget that everything we have comes from our loving
Father in Heaven, that even though we sinned against him,
showed us mercy, and we should never as a nation
forget where our blessings come from. They come from Almighty God.
And listen that he says that there has been no
(53:25):
other hand that has brought this other than Almighty God.
A day of thanksgiving and praise for the Father who
dwelleth in heaven. And then of course he goes on
into some other things, but at the end and then
he dates it with his signature in the year of
our Lord October the third, and what's by alway's my
(53:45):
birthday in eighteen hundred and sixty three, and even puts
the year of our Lord.
Speaker 4 (53:50):
Now, that was the president.
Speaker 3 (53:51):
So by the way we define the establishment clause today
and toss around the term separation of church and state,
he would have been deemed to have violated it.
Speaker 4 (54:02):
So, I mean, if he did that and.
Speaker 3 (54:04):
Everybody acknowledged that it was the right thing to do,
and no one ever said, hey, it's present, you can't
say that you can't do that, well, then it's not
possible that the way we're doing it today was their intent.
Speaker 4 (54:17):
Can't be because that's not the way they did it.
Speaker 8 (54:21):
Rick he in the paragraph in the middle that you
did not read. In that he also points out that
while they're in the midst of the civil war of
unequal magnitude, that it seems that it would be a
time for foreign states to invite and provoke their aggression.
But he said peace has been preserved with all nations.
Order has been maintained, says harmony has prevailed everywhere except
(54:45):
in the theater of military conflict, while that theater has
been greatly and he talks about the advancing armies and
navies of the North, but he's also giving thanks that
the United States was not attacked by foreign power during
this time of civil war.
Speaker 3 (55:00):
Well, then you know what he is saying that because
I was doing that. First of all, slavery was abolished
in this country because of religious convictions. You hear people
try to change that. That was the stone wall that
everybody kept running into. Well, so we said that God
created all men equal, Then why are we doing this?
(55:21):
And here he is saying, because we're doing the things
we're doing, God has protected us from attack from foreign leans,
which he did.
Speaker 1 (55:30):
