it is time for another Rick Burgess show. As you heard, Speedy,
Greg and Adler all here as we unpack another day,
and as usual, there's plenty to do and to talk

(02:16):
about interacting with all of you. Do want to say
hello to all that are traveling or maybe they're getting
up in their hotel rooms because they've come from all
over here and they're going to make their way here
to the Vox seats today. Watch out, we will be
hosting today. Guests will be arriving. Two of them will
be drawn and they'll have a Burgess ball battle. They'll

(02:37):
get a chance at the wheel today, So we'll see
how that goes. And then we'll meet all of them.
And you know, of course none of them ever pressured
to bring us gifts or goodies, but you know sometimes
people do, and you probably don't want to feel awkward.
So so there you go. That's all I'm saying. That's it,
And so the in the in the seats are free.

(02:58):
Many people wonder how you get a Vox seat.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
The reason why you don't hear us talking about that
a lot is that they seem to fill up without
us really saying anything.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
Oh within within an hour or two of releasing them.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
So if you if you're new to it though, and
you're wondering, how can I make that happen? That you
see it there at Rick Burgessshow dot com. Uh, and
they usually release what do we go about two months out?

Speaker 5 (03:22):
Yeah, it's it's normally the last week a month prior
to to releasing. So like you know, for July, it'd
be the last week of May, and then for August
to be the last week of June.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
So if you want to if you're want to book August,
you'd start looking around the last week of this month. Correct.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
June June bug, wow, June. Oh, June old June so June.
And I get it because I mean I see the emails,
and I mean there's only the you know, the seats
that are available, and I apologize they're so hard to get.
I mean, it's a good problem to have to because
it is. It is, but we try to. We try

(04:03):
to get you in and open them up. And we
just honored that anybody would even come yeah and hang
out with us.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, it works them a couple of different ways. Let
me tell you what does not work. Hey, Speedy, I
need to come on June twenty one. I got four. Yeah,
emailing Speedy that that does just can't do it. Yeah.
The other thing that we can do, though, if someone
is kind enough and they know ahead of time we
got a conflict, they'll let both speedy know and they'll
release them again. Right, and so look for that. Sometimes

(04:31):
that happened, you're.

Speaker 5 (04:32):
Right, yeah, yeah, And those are those of the view
that contact us. You're very kind to say, hey, release
the two. I've had to you know, work a lot
of times it's work or family or I'm sick or whatever.
Life right, and that we understand.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
That, all right. So some things that we have to
cover today as far as just stories, Greg, there's a
George Straight story for you today. Yeah, I'm gonna say,
how you I do? I got that unfortunately, and you know,
it just makes you feel a little different. We got
a Manson family, a member who has been given parole. Yeah,
that feels a little strength. Yeah. Yeah, all these years

(05:06):
they keep getting to that. Finally got one. Tennessee had
a zebra running on the roadways of Tennessee.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
We got Wow, that was somebody I was gonna play Rick,
you gave it away.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
I'm sorry. Go here's the story. It's right here, the story.
It's okay. Sorry, it's all right. Don't worry about it.

Speaker 5 (05:21):
We have the super regional. Field is set. It's set.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (05:24):
Hey, there was some some baseball games last night that
went down to the last inning h Murray State at
Old Miss. Murray State was up twelve to three at
one point, and all they got to do is win,
and they go to a super regional. And wow, it
was amazing to uh to see Ole Miss come back

(05:45):
and and and they come back, and before you knew it,
it was like twelve to six, then twelve to seven,
twelve to you and uh, you're thinking, no way. I'm like,
no way, this is not happening. And and you've been
that that team that you're up by four and you
feel like you're down by three because you feel the momentum.

(06:06):
And here come the students out in right field. They're
throwing beer up. You know, there's home runs in all time.
And they get to twelve eleven and Murray State gets
out of it. And then they go to the eighth
inning and Murray State holds them, and then they go
to the ninth inning and Murray State holds them. And
actually wins the Old MISS regional. Wow, and so Murray

(06:27):
State is in.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Gave up a lead and held on by one. Yeah,
it's crazy, but you had to get that in that
Old Miss didn't quite No, No, I mean no, I'm
just saying that for Murray State to go in and
do there are two different reasons you brought that story up. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
Uh, well, the mid majors they they I mean they're
showing out this this the region. UTSA put out Texas.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
And then you got Miami coming into Hattiesburg. It's up
with Southern Miss and beat Southern missiet last night. So
they're in. So the field is set and the Superregionals
are going to be June sixth through ninth.

Speaker 6 (07:06):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (07:06):
And Arkansas won their regional Auburn one. Theres North Carolina one,
there's LSU one last night there in Oregon State one,
Florida State one, Coastal one. I think they are going
to Auburn, Tennessee one. There's u C. L A one,
and Arizona, Duke, Louisville, Miami, Murray State, as I just said,

(07:27):
UTSA and West Virginia they're all in. So that's who's
in the regionals Super regionals.

Speaker 7 (07:32):
I don't know anything about this, but I think you
said the Old MISS Regional, but it's the Oxford Regional.

Speaker 8 (07:38):
Yeah, yeah, there anything about this, But I was just going.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
To know they're in Oxford, Mississippi.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, okay, yeah, did you know that?

Speaker 7 (07:44):
And no, I don't know how any of this works,
but I was like, what's the Old MISS Regional?

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Right?

Speaker 8 (07:49):
And but I looked it up as the Oxford Regal.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
So you didn't know that Old Miss was in Oxford, Mississippi.

Speaker 7 (07:54):
Well, it just I didn't know what the Old Miss
Regional was. But that's not the thing that's.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Under Yeah, yeah, it's not referring you thought that could
have been Oxford, Alabama, where Gregan are from. Yeah, you
know they got to cut his facility done at chocolock
A Park. Could have been out there, played at chocolck.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
So back when Tyler played at jack State, they were
in the Old MISS Regional and uh I remember that. Yeah,
they beat Clemson in there. Anyway, they made it to
the finals of that regional. And so the game's on
what Sunday night because you know, they'd been playing this
regional for a while, and he comes walking through. They
had gone out and done something. Anyway, he comes walking
through the house. He and River were over and everything.

(08:29):
He's like, wow, so that's the mound I ended my
career on. He didn't know it at the time, and
he pitched at in that regional not knowing that would
be his last pitch over and ended up having to
have surgery.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Again and stuff.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
Yeah, man, but it's just crazy, you know, just time flies.
It was not, but that's a great atmosphere. They had
like twelve thousand people there. It was pretty pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
And the text nation Adler, it's old miss, not old miss. Yeah, yeah,
I know that.

Speaker 7 (09:03):
I didn't say old old I think you did?

Speaker 8 (09:06):
You did I said old like Greg says the word oil.
I said it like did you Okay?

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
And I've been looking over at this softball too. This
is the world series. This Texas tech Bunch is for real.
My goodness, they've beaten everybody.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
What about that? The uh so that's uh? I think
Oklahoma was beat by them. I was about to say that.
I was just about to ask that because Oklahoma's kind
of that's the program to be, didn't it? Normally? We'll
be back more of than Rick Burgess show coming up
right after this. So looking at text nation, how does

(09:48):
this guy go back to sleep? In South Carolina? So
I worked seven to three and I napped from four
to supper? How does he go back to sleep to
be ready for the next day. It's to get to
work at seven if I if I nap from four
to supper, so supper for me. Now we're we're old

(10:09):
people now and we we we have a different schedule.
We're we're we're always looking for supper at four thirty
five at the latest. Yes, So for him though, he's
he's different, so he's probably we think his supper is
not six on that for two hours? Is he he
works three? I don't know how long he takes it
again nap to supper, maybe about an hour. But then

(10:31):
how did he go back to sleep? Well, if you
look at it, really okay, what you you're up later,
but you've got some sleep on the front end. So
maybe the total so.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
He didn't have to go to bed till yeah, yeah,
I'm thinking I'm thinking he goes to bed lay so
he just breaks it. Yeah, the overnight. The overnight, this
at length is not that much.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Right, I say, when does anybody see him? I guess
after supper.

Speaker 5 (10:54):
Yeah, and there's a there's a lot of this and
I didn't realize it. Yep, there is a lot of
people where where our studio used to be in that
parking deck.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Would you know where?

Speaker 5 (11:07):
Uh that if you ever got over there and you
started kind of looking at the car, A lot of
people are sitting in the cars.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
They were in the shade, kind of hanging out.

Speaker 5 (11:17):
And this guy, this person here says, I get a
quick bite to eat and take a thirty minute power
nap in my car.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
It's the best.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
And I saw a lot of people kind of having
lunch in their car, and I wonder if that's they
just get out of the office and then that's what
they do, and so they call that their little power nap.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
And that place was covered really good. Yeah, well that's
a good place if you want to take a power
nap in the car nearing work, that would be a place. Well,
you remember, back when I had kids that required me
to come tick them up for school, I slept in
the car pool. That's it now one time to the point.

Speaker 5 (11:46):
That I had it completely blocked, and you wish somebody
had knocked on the number.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
One person checked to see if I was dead, not one.

Speaker 5 (11:51):
But you're right, Rick, that was a power nap time
which you could just shut her down.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
And remember that when I had the van, you know,
that's back when I had so many kids and I
had the big van. It wasn't as sweet as Adlers,
but it was pretty sweet.

Speaker 8 (12:04):
It was sweet Southern comfort. Oh yeah, I remember the brand.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yes, of course you do. That's when you don't forget.
But anyway, I would actually just be in my office.
I'd be moving around there, returning calls, you know, and
getting getting getting business done. I mean, I would just
it was it was my office with wheels. It's a
good time, right, You really go to sleep in that boy? Yeah, listen,
I used to. When I first got hired at the

(12:30):
power company, I was a helper and they put me
in the warehouse, which is where you learned all the
material and load anyway, the balls. He was the old guy,
and he was I was kind of scared of him. Anyway.
He's one called me Gary, and I wudn't tell any
different anywhere. At lunch, you would look in his office
because there was like a window you could see, and
he would turn the lights off and lay on top

(12:52):
of his desk, on his side, and sleep not on
top of his desk, a desk on it, didn't lay
down a blanket, nothing on top of his desk, laying
on his side, knees up, pulled in. What would he
go all the way out? I go, I mean, And
I asked the secretary, and she goes, oh, yeah, he

(13:14):
takes a nab lunch. Said. I don't shout there, but
I'm not a good napper because I'm too quirky a sleeper.
When I nap, it's because I am I'm just completely exhausted.
My body says, we don't even care about your sleep courtings,
and we're shutting you down.

Speaker 5 (13:29):
I got to tell you somebody that a community that
I am more impressed with is the landscaping community. Our
Hispanic friends. Uh, they can nap under a shade tree
in a second.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
White people landscaping. Wow, you think the only people who
landscaping is Mexican. Now I will say this.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
Now, I'm just going to say eighty percent of the
ones I say are Mexican. Okay, And and they've got
their lunch, and they got their lunch and they're sitting
on a stump. Understand, some shade and you go by
and sometimes they'll be leaning against the tree and you
can tell, okay, they're getting fifteen minutes.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
That's just part of their cult.

Speaker 5 (14:02):
So I think a lot of the napping is what
are you doing for work?

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Are you?

Speaker 5 (14:05):
Is it physically demanding where you finally have it some
time to shut down.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
I could see those folks, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I
mean they're working. Take my csty get over in shade.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
By the way, and then it's like there are an
army after that. I mean that's just everybody knows what
they're doing, only.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
One faster than the homage, right if you'd like to
see Mexicans versus homage, So who can. I guess it's
all according what you're gonna do. I don't think the
amage could hang with him and Tim Wilson covered this
guy rest his soul. I do not think you can
you can beat the Mexicans that sheet rock nobody?

Speaker 8 (14:40):
Oh painting great?

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (14:44):
Have you ever seen those trends of uh, there's like
this trend where it's like the the if a Mexican
guy has a wife, what the wife packs for him
for lunch? It is these amazing home made man and
it's like a very common and culturally for them. And
these homemade meals that these women are packaged. These dudes,

(15:06):
no wonder they're taking a nap because it's like, I mean,
we're talking all kinds of stuff, good Mexican food.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
I think that what happened at my house here recently
was a was a shift in the norm. I'm going
to tell you exactly what happened on this gutter thing, okay,
And it was a shift in the norm. Haven't seen this.
It was a shift, a little shift in the norm,
shift shift in. I attempted to hire people that, based

(15:32):
on their accent, probably were of Latin descent. Couldn't get
them to come to work and do the gutters, couldn't
get them to come too busy, that may be it.
And all of a sudden, you know who, as I
told you, you know, I come home and I'm just
going to be completely transparent here. When I finally got
the email and somebody said these are the people get
it done. I fully expected no offense. I fully expected

(15:56):
to come home and see Mexicans all over the gutters.
And when I and when I and when I came home,
you had one white guy working his butt off, and
I was shocked.

Speaker 8 (16:04):
Yeah, that is shocking.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
And he got after it and he got it done.
I was shocked. It's been a long time since I've
seen the white guy get the job done with no
Mexican help. Wow, it's a shift. At least haven't got
down on being his ground man. Hey, complete whitey getting
it done. You don't see that much anymore. You don't
really see a white guy working hard anymore. It was

(16:26):
good to see it, Yeah, I mean really getting after it.
Do the homish nap, I guarantee you they now they
nap standing up? Oh, they now holding the stud. I
mean it's is probably required. They hold it the next
stud for the deck, and they sleep holding it hold
and as soon as they wake up, they're slidding other
than him.

Speaker 7 (16:43):
And then as soon as as soon as their rooster
goes off, they wake up as this because they.

Speaker 8 (16:48):
Don't use technology, and they go milk the cows. Y'all.

Speaker 7 (16:51):
I will say, sometimes you'll have a solo white guy.
Solo white guy will get a lot of stuff done.

Speaker 8 (16:57):
You ever noticed that.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
That's what I had. That's what I had, solo white guy.

Speaker 8 (17:00):
Little white guys.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
She didn't have Larry Wayne distracting him.

Speaker 8 (17:02):
Right right now?

Speaker 7 (17:03):
Maybe three three white guys sometimes not as good as
a solo white guy. They'll kind of hang out and
be buddies.

Speaker 8 (17:09):
You know.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
I've seen that happen here.

Speaker 8 (17:11):
They're talking about their plans afterword.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
Yeah, and I call those every time I passed some
no offense city workers. Y'all are great, but sometimes you know,
he'll pass and six are watching and ones working, and
now they would say, well, there's only one that could
be doing what they're doing. We're waiting our turn. I
get that, but there's the running joke.

Speaker 8 (17:30):
But look, it's a bad look a lot.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
I see that a lot we heard. And I'm not
gonna call him by name, but some mayor that used
to work here recommended this guy and I mom needed
some work before she moved. Oh not this guy. Okay,
nice guy was he? But I think he would show
up about nine and then he'd go eat lunch at
eleven eve. He wouldn't bring it, I remember this guy.

(17:56):
Then he'd mosey on back and work a couple more hours.
Then he'd had the Yeah. I think he worked maybe
three hours. But it's funny. They didn't get there until
you know, nearly ten o'clock and then go to lunch
eleven thirty. Greig, what I'm trying to say. What I'm
trying to say is it's possible. Honkys are back. So
I said, there is hope. This guy that I dealt

(18:17):
with I lost all hope. Yeah that's true. Yeah, So
so anyway, we'll be back.

Speaker 5 (18:28):
We got a lot more to cover today, all right,
Domish and one for nappers.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
They take naps.

Speaker 5 (18:34):
This just need a breather and then you're back at it.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
All right, we'll be back hanging there. Okay, I want
you guys to listen up out there, Blaze TV boy,
they just dropped an explosive investigation. You need to go
see it. It's been five years since the George Floyd
riots turned Minneapolis upside down, and for the first time ever,

(19:01):
three active duty Minneapolis police officers are speaking out on camera.
They are remaining anonymous, but they tell the truth about
what really happened. Now, these guys were there, they were
on the front line when the Third Precinct you know,
was abandoned and it was burned, and they're still on
the job, still in uniform, and they're gonna reveal something

(19:22):
about Derek Shobbin and Governor Tim Walls and the breakdown
of law and order in the city is it's jaw dropping.
They say that you know Derek was railroaded, that Walls
completely filled them, and that they're risking their lives every
day in a city that's turned its back on them. Now,
if you want to see this, you got to be

would you rather right now you've got to go to

(20:27):
this concert George George straight at seventy three are Randy
Travis and a wielchair Rick. You're not going to ask
me that? Seriously? Should be a quick answer. We're going
to one of them. Let me think that should not
be a pause. We going to one of them, to
the Mississippi. Well, I really, what if I want to

(20:48):
be totally honest up and now you're gonna say that,
I'd go, George straight, I don't think you're telling the truth.
I don't either. I think you either. I think either.
I thank you. I think you thought if I say
what I really believe, it'll be too much.

Speaker 7 (21:02):
No, no, does it have to be Randy Travis parentheses
in a wheelchair?

Speaker 8 (21:07):
Can it just be Randy Travis?

Speaker 1 (21:09):
That makes it too easy.

Speaker 8 (21:11):
That's what makes it too easy, Adler.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Let me just say this. There we go. I wasn't
a huge fan of Randy Travis. Why he was standing
so wow? That would you've added this to it? Then?
So it is that elevations, George, you know what I mean?
And if I'd have been a huge Randy Travis fan
before he had his issues, but I wouldn't. So now
that he has those and I'm not, I mean, that's

(21:34):
horrible and he's doing things to be doing well on music?
What's wrong? I mean I had a tough run talking
out when he was when he was the same. I
will say this just my process of elimination. Two singers

(21:55):
not huge fans of either one, they're about the same.
And then now one's I gottatch perform from a wheelchair.
I'm probably going with the other one. And that was
the difference, wouldn't it. Yeah?

Speaker 5 (22:06):
Would you rather listen to George Straight or Beth Mowens
do a football game?

Speaker 6 (22:11):
That one?

Speaker 1 (22:13):
No, it's not that George No, no it's not. It's
not George Straight. But his voice isn't irritating to me.
It doesn't bother me. I'm just not a fan of that.
You know. Do you remember standing here on my cot
and would you like to interview George Straight? Yeah? He
might be absolutely if we could have the true door on,
I have to.

Speaker 8 (22:32):
We're never gonna get because it doesn't get anything.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
It doesn't get any bigger than George Straight. It doesn't.
Here comes the butt, it doesn't. I mean, I'm not
gonna stop right there. The we greg listen to this. Okay,
do you remember, because you know Randy Travis, this is
this is completely healthy Randy Travis, Okay, back before any issues,

(22:58):
and I remember the first time that I thought that
this woman with him was like staff or something. Only
and the first time when he said it was his wife.
You remember the first time I threw you oh yeah,
the first time you saw his manager too. Yeah, but
I mean this was the first one, not the wife
he hasn't you remember the first time you saw that
and it was like, I'm the one that was like

(23:20):
a lot older. Yeah, she was his manager, and it
was kind of and you were like, You're kind of
thrown by some rumors out there. I'm not going in. Okay,
never mind, I'm not getting you know what you're doing.
You know what you're doing. You're digging up bones. Yeah,
but I know what you're saying, though I was. I
was surprised at them and they didn't look like a couple.
That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (23:38):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
People are saying, Chris Stapleton is opening up. I love Chris. Yeah. Yeah,
would you just go yeah, well you watch I watched it.
Well you announced to the group, or fake a bathroom
and just never come back. I made just fake a bathroom.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
No, no, yeah, Chris, you're going to drive separate to
the concert.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
He's completely there. He's exactly what I like in that country. Yeah,
I like him a lot.

Speaker 8 (24:05):
Oh, he's fantastic.

Speaker 5 (24:06):
Boy's a lot of wooldie rathers coming through.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
It's enough. I think we've had enough. Word you, brother,
I don't know what you get any better than what
we've already done. Okay, we've hit him pretty hard. Somebody
asked I feel about Coldplay?

Speaker 8 (24:20):
Did you say that the manager wife was like way older?

Speaker 1 (24:23):
She looked it maybe not current?

Speaker 8 (24:25):
No, no, no, back in the day.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
You know what you're talking about. First started. I'll tell
you what when we talk about metal then you she had.

Speaker 7 (24:34):
Like white hair, right, yeah, yes, okay, Look look look
look they are two years apart, and Randy's older.

Speaker 8 (24:41):
They're two years apart.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
That's a wig. That's a wy I just said the
first time I saw it. Difference is that the original.

Speaker 8 (24:47):
That's the original. Her name is Elizabeth Ivor.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
I was talking about a visual. Yeah, I think.

Speaker 8 (24:56):
Right, But he's actually two years older.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
I said the first time I saw it, I didn't
know the acts thank you for people were But that's
saying that looks.

Speaker 8 (25:04):
Like that's a that's weird, that's an odd.

Speaker 9 (25:07):
Maybe not choice.

Speaker 8 (25:08):
That's all right, Listen, there's nothing fake on Dolly Martin.

Speaker 7 (25:13):
Greg, don't you say anything about Dolly Parton, not a
dark thing that's fake on her.

Speaker 8 (25:19):
Did you know a single thing?

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Trivia fact? Did you know that the Colonel tried to
get I Will Always Love You, Uh, tried her to
sign that over for Elvis, and she wouldn't do it. Oh,
she didn't want to have us singing it. No, she
just said, I think this song is mine. I don't
want to give up the publishing now. She said, if
he wants to perform it, yeah, and this morning habit Yeah, yeah,
I'll take that check. But I'm not. I'm not giving
you this song. No, No king had a shot at it.

Speaker 5 (25:46):
That would you rathers that are coming through?

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Or go enough enough? Yeah? Where I do want to
ask this one? Where's Lee?

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Lee?

Speaker 1 (25:53):
On George Strake? She likes his music, She's not not.
I mean, she don't go crazy. Could you ever be
putting a position where she would ask you to go?
I think she went to a concert one time with
a friend of hers, and she admitted it was a
little slow. Okay, well gosh, but she some songs on
the radio.

Speaker 5 (26:10):
If one of the great kids came over to your house,
it's like, Papa, I heard an artist George and all
of a sudden, like Ellis like starts playing George.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Strach sing with me, Papa. I'd be singing, sing I'm
a rello, papaup sure, Papa take me. He's coming to
the BJCC. I wish I knew more of the catalog.
I'd do this little voice with a lot more songs.
But I don't let me throw this at you. I think, honestly,
in grandparent world, and like I said, I'm only over
here in the great uncle world. Haven't gotten there yet,
but I've watched all of you and watched others in

(26:42):
grandparent world. I think of the awful things you have
to go to with your grandparents. At George Strait concert
would be probably an upgrade because you have to take
your kids with some pretty bad stuff. Yeah, yeah, Oh,
I think George may have a fielthy mouth. I've never
been there.

Speaker 8 (26:58):
That he may he he may.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
Not Greg Where did that he even come from? Brazy?
He's got him with the fifth Where did they even
come from? And you know what I have to think
when his grandkids are going to go building, is Lisa?
Is Lisa attracted to George Strake? That's why you don't
like him? That has nothing to do with anything at all.
I'm kidding. No, I mean, but I mean, I still

(27:24):
if she's let's get this straight, Papa, Papa, take me, Papa.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
He's cooing.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
We Lisa and I went and saw Keith Urban and
I enjoyed the heck out of it because he's a
really good guitar player for this great show. And she
likes Keith Urban. Now watch out and say that, you know,
but they're not real people, so it doesn't matter, right,
They're not real people. They're not They're not. I'm knowing
what my mom made Mary keyth her. Does anybody think that.

Speaker 5 (27:53):
Anybody the celebrity pass that you give your spouse?

Speaker 1 (27:57):
I mean, I'm not Papa, take me to George Strait.
Have you ever heard of him?

Speaker 3 (28:05):
There?

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Let me tell what you better hope doesn't happen. Keith
Urban out of respect opening for George straight. That could happen.
Chris Staple is doing it right now, that could happen.
I'll go watching then, Leeve here's the.

Speaker 9 (28:15):
Wick Burger's show.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
We're back Handlo America. Thank you for being with us today.
Thanks a lot, Adler. I mean, I'm sitting there kind
of being charpe. You were right, yeah, talking about how
much older Randy Travis's first wife was, and you made
me feel bad for thinking that, And of course I
was right the whole time. I guess it's because I'm
Greg's brother. You're right again.

Speaker 8 (28:51):
I'm just googling things as quickly as I can.

Speaker 7 (28:54):
As we try to do a show, thank you, to
get the information out to the people.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Tell the people what happened.

Speaker 8 (28:59):
This is the most informative show that there is ever.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yes, tell the people what happened to.

Speaker 7 (29:04):
So it gave me like the old wife's name with
the new wife's age difference, and so you were right.
The lady with the wig that Greg thinks is also
a beard, Elizabeth Elizabeth. Yes, she was quite a bit
older than Ramon, sixteen years older.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
So you can eat it.

Speaker 8 (29:22):
We tried to tell you that's not you don't have
to say that.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
You're right, Greg, right again.

Speaker 7 (29:29):
So he was married to lib Elizabeth Hatcher in ninety
one to twenty ten.

Speaker 8 (29:35):
They had a large age difference.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
That's rights, manager, Dad, And who are with you, judge?
Sometimes older women go after younger man. It's not something's
never happened. So there we go.

Speaker 8 (29:47):
There you go, all right?

Speaker 1 (29:48):
All right, so false information.

Speaker 8 (29:50):
I'm trying my best.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Let me tell you where I think that attitude about it.

Speaker 8 (29:55):
Not have an attitude.

Speaker 7 (29:56):
I was trying to defend an old lady that y'all
were calling even older than she was.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
But you were wrong. No, you maker younger than you will.

Speaker 7 (30:03):
I am for women, okay, I protect women's rights, and
I'm not agists either.

Speaker 8 (30:08):
Y'all are agist and sexist.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
You notice if you noticed so Adler during the month
of June really doubles down on his love for women. Yeah,
let's let me let y'all know who I'm with you.
But apparently he's given everybody a bumster on something else
something for saying that he touts all the time. Oh
my god. Yes, talk about.

Speaker 10 (30:30):
Why beef tallow is absolutely not a replacement for sunscreen.
Why is this a bad idea? No UV protection? Beef
tallow has an SPF of like zero, so you're not
going to get any UV A or UVB protection, which
we know causes skin cancer, sun damage, pigmentation, and premature aging.
Second is, increases in sun damage. Oils like tallow can

(30:52):
actually increase the risk of confetration, so you're not just
unprotected you're even more.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
That's a dermatologist.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
They're saying, Okay, that's not what I have.

Speaker 7 (31:06):
I have tallow, but there's zinc in it. I don't
know why I'm having to defend my my like the
things that I rub on my body, choices like I
don't understand why I have.

Speaker 5 (31:17):
To with toothpaste. Right, you're still going, yes, it is.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
When when he was Henry the horse and day with
his shirt off, when he came by me, I caught
a little wheel.

Speaker 8 (31:29):
Oh yeah, that's because my armpits were right by your face.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
But you know what had onion patch. But but it did,
it did add to it because you did smell like
a horse.

Speaker 8 (31:43):
But it's not just like big Foot.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
All right, right, I'm just saying that.

Speaker 7 (31:53):
I never said anybody you should just rub rendered. That's
what tallow is fat. It's lad you did be fat.
It's honestly great for your skin.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
You're making you're making people go out in the sun
and basically deep for them.

Speaker 7 (32:07):
Never know, in fact, no, no, no, no, no, you're right, you
know that's what I'm not saying.

Speaker 8 (32:11):
Do that now.

Speaker 7 (32:12):
There is something to be said about these modern sunscreens,
with these chemicals that are.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
In them and here he goes.

Speaker 7 (32:19):
Now, Now, if y'all want to talk about that, we can.
But I am a tallow and zinc sunscreen guy. And
if in fact, I'll just go to the shade and
and and stay in the shade, wear a big hat
and and stay out of the sun. That's what I
actually try to do. I try not to wear sunscreen.
I don't like wearing sunscreens.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
I don't either, but it's important for people like Speedy.

Speaker 7 (32:39):
But yeah, you know, if you're gonna be in the sun,
sun damage is real. I'm not one of those people
that thinks, like, you know, skin cancer is.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Fake and you've been insensitive. They need to cut Gregg's
and knows off.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
Yeah wait, you still got to go back you.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
They've caught him like an app.

Speaker 5 (33:00):
Yeah, well, I mean you go every six months so
they don't slice you up.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
Yeah, stay on top of that is smart.

Speaker 8 (33:07):
This wise decision you do. I need to do that.
My nose got burned you so many times as a kid.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
You know. Another good wide decision. The odorant. Yeah, let's
let's talk about that. Let's talk about you being afraid.

Speaker 8 (33:17):
We put illuminum in my body.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
That's good.

Speaker 8 (33:19):
Heavy metal has never heard anybody I do that.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Do that than have something that don't have that in it.

Speaker 8 (33:25):
I know. That's what I use.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Good, that's what I use.

Speaker 8 (33:27):
Sometimes Sometimes it's just not part of your day.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
There's a little earthing.

Speaker 8 (33:34):
Right here. I'm right here. That's not when you say
a little bit I'm Adler.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Wrong with earth. You could take a Burgess ball basketball
and hit him with it.

Speaker 8 (33:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
No, I was just saying he's a little earthy. Okay,
that's five times you say, we know it's not negative.
You just think and you got dirty feet.

Speaker 8 (33:58):
I'm not George Straight. I'm not George Straight. Don't hate
on me.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
What you're saying throughout the month of June is you're
actually Chris straight?

Speaker 8 (34:07):
Yes, right, super straight.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
I mean advertising that van.

Speaker 7 (34:15):
Yeah, the rainbow the rainbow flags that are coming out.
I'm sorry, but Halliburton, do you smell it? Halliburton is
putting Pride flags on missiles and such.

Speaker 8 (34:28):
I'm like, yo, that's really great. What a sincere gesture.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
Could you be any more any more inappropriate with that one?

Speaker 6 (34:35):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (34:36):
My goodness?

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Right?

Speaker 7 (34:37):
Okay, all right, but back to Tallow It's great, it's
a great product, and I wish that.

Speaker 8 (34:44):
Well.

Speaker 7 (34:44):
I'm trying to get away from these seed oils, Greg,
I'm trying to not die and be.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Stuff.

Speaker 8 (34:50):
Thank you.

Speaker 7 (34:51):
Yes, And if anybody knows where to find some donuts
frieday in beef tallow, send me an email please. I
want to get some good, true old school donuts. That's
how they used to do donuts.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Where did this come from?

Speaker 3 (35:02):
That?

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Did donuts get into.

Speaker 8 (35:03):
This tallow beef tallow beef?

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (35:06):
And what's now?

Speaker 1 (35:07):
We are? We basically just come up with a fancy
name for Crisco.

Speaker 8 (35:10):
No, it's the opposite of Chrisco.

Speaker 7 (35:12):
Crisco is an industrial byproduct that they have tricked us
into thinking is good to conscern me.

Speaker 8 (35:20):
It was used as a lubricant.

Speaker 7 (35:22):
And then they're like, you know what, we can make
money selling us to stupid fat Americans.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
Hohurrh.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
You know what?

Speaker 7 (35:30):
They put the monocles and they danced around in their
top hats with the monocles on.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Do you remember growing up? Honest, you were too young
at her because you you actually people woke up. But
and I guess we're all doomed. We all grew up
in homes that every single home had that big old
bucket of Crisco. Crisco everybody, and how about that scoop
and they scoop it out like an ice cream scooper,
throw it in that band and you're off and running.

(35:56):
And what you're saying, let's go back to real lord.

Speaker 5 (35:59):
Yes, yes, absolutely, somebody here says what you also remind
me of my dad because that was one of the
national Yeah. They make and sell tallow products with essential oils,
of course, some with magnesium, some with zinc. Can't keep
them on the cell, yes, can't keep them.

Speaker 7 (36:16):
They're great products and people that know get them, that
aren't stupid.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
So this woman that puts you in your place, she's
leaving out the zinc parts, that's what you're saying.

Speaker 7 (36:25):
She's yeah, she's just I never said that you just
put animal fat on your skin to protect you from
the sun.

Speaker 5 (36:30):
Amer and Seinfeld tried, butter she is responding to, there's
a new ad that has popped up for beef tallow
sunscreen that people are confused about. And she was trying,
she was referring to that.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Yeah, don't take it personally. Didn't you tell me that
it was that you were JT when you met Sting
that he was thumping. That was me. That's that European stuff.
They'll bump. They don't say Europeans a bomp hey, they will.
You're right. There's a lot of Adler, there's a lot
of ALA's got a little European in.

Speaker 8 (37:02):
No, no, no, no, no, no no. Don't don't don't, don't.
Don't lump me in. Don't lump me in with that.

Speaker 7 (37:08):
Greg got lady, all right, I didn't write all my
exes live in Texas.

Speaker 8 (37:13):
I didn't do that. I didn't make that song.

Speaker 11 (37:16):
You're right, so you're telling everybody coda with tallow and
go now he's let's talk about big sunscreen and big
corn oil.

Speaker 9 (37:28):
Is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Subscribers, but you also have on the YouTube channel. You
know you got you got your Wenesday Bible Study that
I'll be back again tomorrow. You've got the brand new
podcast Strange Encounters episode one, two and three is there.
You've got Tales from the camp House episodes one, two, three,
and four. Uh So coming up this weekend episode five
the Fish Fry. That'll be it Teals from the camp

(37:56):
House and also episode four of Strange Encounter. I will
actually interview Calvin Speedy Wilburn about some of the things
that he experienced back in the Thirteen Days of Horror,
and that led to us stopping that beloved segment on
the Years of Rick and Bubba. So we'll talk about

(38:17):
that coming up on Strange Encounters, So don't miss that.
And if you're looking to get men, don't run in
the rain autograph copies for dads for Father's Day. The
cutoff is Monday, so just keeping you in the loop,
all right. So this I keep getting this. I know
y'all do too. I'm not gonna do a full blown
hey birds here, I just want to use this from

(38:38):
email to prompt this conversation and to hear what you
got I mean. And it's just starting to get legs,
and it's getting weirder by the moment, okay. And that
is this notion that Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl is
about to step down and run for Tommy Tuberville's senate spot.
See this, you know, the first time I saw it,

(38:59):
I just just regard because I thought it was so absurd.
And now I'm starting to get it. I even have
it in the email today on the hay Bird and
on this one this person is suggesting that not only
do they think he is going to step down, it's
the Democrats that are trying to get him to run.

(39:20):
That's got it. I cannot imagine that's on Israel alone. Correct,
On Israel alone, there's no way Bruce Pearl would go
over to the Donner. Now on Israel, that's just so Roger,
I think. I think that's that part's really out there.
But now back to just the because you know we
had you know, Jared Hudson come on, and of course

(39:41):
he's going to be speaking to my home church next week.
By the way, Wow, a lot of you are coming. Good.
I'm glad you are. And at our next man church gathering,
we're doing a breakfast at my home church in Birmingham
next to next Saturday the fourteenth, And you can still
join us if you want to, no charge for that
at all. You just need to register so we know
you're coming. So the but so, and then there's I

(40:05):
think Steve Marshall, Steve Marshall who served as Attorney general
right in Alabama. And uh, I think he's still on
his hat in the ring, correct, I saw that? Yeah,
And and so I just I can't imagine with these
kind of candidates already out there, that Bruce Pearl would

(40:27):
have any desire to step away from a program that
he is turned into a contender every year, making great
money doing what he loves, and he has a platform
to say the things he cares about and does and
does do that to make to try to make change.
So I just find that kind of Yeah.

Speaker 5 (40:45):
I heard as soon as coach Senator Tuberville announced what
he was going to do, you heard, I heard that
could this happen, It might happen, you know, and then
it started.

Speaker 1 (40:54):
Now now it's like it's gonna happen, and then it's continuing.

Speaker 5 (40:59):
We we just need to reach out to them and
they can put it to rest.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Yeah, why don't you also this one? Greg? I got
to get you you and add all of you Speedy.
I think, Look, I'm I'm I'm an example of and
I'm thankful for always the second chances, thankful for God's
grace and mercy. Without it, I would be doomed. But
I do think here on earth, sometimes you know, people

(41:25):
can get their act together behind bars and and hopefully
change them and be an agent of change inside of prison.
But something about this headline. You know, I kind of
put it up there with how I felt about and
you did too, gregor about the Menindez brothers when the
crime is so heinous and so horrible. And I hope
everybody gets right with God before they die. I really do.
But when you see this headline, Manson family member Patricia

(41:50):
is it has been granted parole. Yep. And you see
this right under that again, she can be forgiven between
between her and God. I'm not denying forgive. Don't know
that situation. I'm strictly talking about here on earth, the
judgment that was made here on earth for her heinous crimes.
And you see underneath no one likes this line. Killed

(42:13):
seven people, an unborn baby, and scrawled helter skelter and
her victim's blood. She's been in prison for fifty five
years and now she's been granted parole. Yeah, how do
we feel.

Speaker 5 (42:27):
Yeah, she's the longest serving woman in California prisons fifty
five year.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
Yeah, every year they would come up. I think the
other two girls have died right charge.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
You know.

Speaker 5 (42:41):
In twenty fifteen, New York Times did a documentary on
this and they interviewed her or whatever and here's rick
maybe fifteen twenty seconds of her talking from my computer
back back in that documentary, and I.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
Tried to remember sometimes, is that what I am today
is not what I.

Speaker 5 (42:58):
Was at nineteen nineteen is when she did that.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
Yeah, and I agree with that. I think we can
all say that. Of course, at nineteen there's very few
of us. I hope that killed seven people, including an
unborn baby. Yeah, yeah, and scrawled helter skelter with victim's blood. Yea.
Most people just said I drank beer and I probably
shouldn't have. Yeah, you know, he's.

Speaker 8 (43:19):
Young and dumb.

Speaker 7 (43:20):
Yeah, young and dumb, and then there's young and murder.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Yeah. Different, it's a different. Yeah, there's no age on it.
Age has nothing to do. And again, I hope that
she is ready to face her creator. I hope this
has been an opportunity for her to get all that right,
and her eternity will be this will never be remembered
again in eternity. But here on her if she did that,
I don't know what she's done. I don't know about
her spiritual life or anything, but I'm just saying that

(43:46):
that's available to her. So so when But on earth,
I think that's got to be one of those things
where you just say you're gonna have to stay in
there till your earthly life is done. Yeah right, I
think I think so right, you know, but there you're
saying there finally the governor before granted has granted parole.

(44:09):
So there we go. So that happened on the thirties
seventy seven now and so so we'll we'll see what
happens going forward on that one. But yeah, that's uh,
you know a at nineteen, I got in with the
wrong crowd. That's a little different than I was part
of the Manson family. Yeah, yeah, talking about the wrong crowd.

(44:29):
I'll even give you rob a bank. I'll give you that, sure, carjacking?

Speaker 7 (44:34):
Are we talking gunpoint robbing or just like you know,
mark marker in your pocket, you know.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
Walk in with a with a note and say give
me all the money. Is my gun real or not real?

Speaker 8 (44:44):
Yeah, it's not real, it's not real. Okay, Yeah you
can get out after a while.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
And now, yeah, but we did, but we having a
real gun in somebody. But you can't be that something
against you the rest of your life. If you didn't
pull the trigger, if I didn't you want someone to
never get out just because they point I need a
gun one time?

Speaker 8 (45:01):
What about yeah kind of, yeah, yeah, kind of if
you point a gun.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
What if they changed their life and they're like, I
won't do that anymore and they never pulled a trigger.

Speaker 8 (45:11):
Twenty years.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
I don't believe Crin Wingle what her name is a
threat to society, but she still don't deserve to be out.

Speaker 5 (45:17):
That's a good way of saying, what about you steal
something as a young kid.

Speaker 7 (45:21):
Okay, I serve my time for that. Okay, they took
my season pass away. All right, it is the worst summer.
You were supposed to be the summer.

Speaker 8 (45:30):
Of Badler, and it was the summer of sadness.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
I put out of statement, I don't have the same
person I wasn't agent. As we start this hour, we
got to jump right into this Mount Etna. Boy, I'll
tell you it has the eruption of the volcano has

(45:57):
got a lot of people, and we're getting footage and audio. Speedy.
Here's someone audio that that saw the volcano erupt as well,
so I can find of her too.

Speaker 5 (46:08):
Yeah, you know, but this is they're they're catching it
live here.

Speaker 9 (46:13):
I can see it it's going up.

Speaker 8 (46:15):
It's going yeah, it's gone right now.

Speaker 12 (46:17):
I mean, this morning was the most astounding thing I've
ever seen.

Speaker 8 (46:20):
In my life.

Speaker 5 (46:21):
And so when when she said that, Greg's like, most
is going thing.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
Most astounding thing? Where is that Mount Etna Adler Is?
I can't in Italy? But it's there's no more to
tell away from here, real hard to pronounce the actual
precise location there in Italy with a lot of words.

Speaker 5 (46:40):
And if you're up there and you're out, you're running, Greg,
are you okay with that?

Speaker 1 (46:44):
No, you don't want to be there, So your problem
is she said it was the most what thing she'd
ever astounding, the most astounding things she's ever seen. Of
course she probably never saw me playing eighty two, But
I'm just saying you got to consider the things she
didn't see. Has she ever sing the birth of a baby?
Probably that's a big one.

Speaker 8 (47:04):
That's the most sounding thing I've ever said.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
I was about to say, that's that's a big one.
I watched, that's a big one.

Speaker 7 (47:10):
Here is the these are these are guides and tourists
on the mountain when it when it when it went off,
Look at they're just running away from a volcano, y'all.
A lot of them.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
Look, I just one guys like that. If I run
too fast, if fall, I guarantee you that's my lug.

Speaker 5 (47:26):
You know, you save up and you finally make this
long trip and you get up there and this happens.
And Rick, this is when you look at the guide
and you follow them.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
At anytime I've traveled the world, Uh, always look to
the God. If the guide panics, it's really bad, you
should panic. It is really really bad. God is running
you run Like, what was that safari?

Speaker 12 (47:48):
You were on.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
The Safari?

Speaker 7 (47:51):
Guy, that's rocky terrain. They're having to try to run
down to that's Ankle Twist.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
City, right, So scared. He's a little lot of shit,
so scared.

Speaker 8 (48:00):
They're having to run fast.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
These are these people. These are these people that said
over and over again, this is the year I start
doing cardio. Yeah, and then then all of a sudden hurt. Yeah.
You realize if that lava gets it's over. You can't
beat lava. Looking is not real fast. Okay, you're right,
many of them.

Speaker 5 (48:22):
Don't get him on lava. He's not scared of lava.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
And I'm not saying I'm not scared of but I
think I got time to get clear of it. Yeah,
but what if you're there when in eruption, it's like
it's close. It's not like we're down in the valley.
I'll give you that. If I'm down the valley, I
mean I finish off my glass tea and then you know,
getting card. Yeah, but when that thing roup.

Speaker 13 (48:40):
But it's just eating everything, there is a time lapse, obviously,
but it's just I mean, it's just it's just a
massive amount of smoke and fog and dust and lava
and my goodness.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
Can I ask you a question, Adam, and we all
know the answer. So what does the earth do with
all that pollution that happened naturally?

Speaker 7 (49:01):
Well, it equals you know, we drive cars for one
hundred years and and that's it's a.

Speaker 8 (49:08):
Fraction of what that just puts.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
What does the arth do?

Speaker 8 (49:11):
Just it's fine.

Speaker 5 (49:16):
So you have this eruption, Rick, We're playing out scenario here.
It starts raining. Can you run?

Speaker 1 (49:22):
I'm running from the lava, not the rain. That's a
good point. We can all run from lava. Okay, Okay,
that's okay. Lava we can run. We can run from fire,
we can run from lava if it happens to.

Speaker 5 (49:35):
Be raining, it's not about the rain, Okay, Okay, you're
running from the other things while it's raining, right okay.

Speaker 1 (49:42):
And uh, and there's there's all kinds of things you
can run from and uh and I have and let
me tell you, I'd love to be timed with some
of it because I was scared. Yeah, oh yeah, when
you love to be timed on scared run Oh yeah,
there's no telling. I'll be I'm out a broken record. Yeah,
but now you were you were talking about the different

(50:03):
things that have happened, and the Safari of course always,
I'm always I'm always listening to the guys always. And
then there was the time, you know, and this is
when it's It was on a Rick and Bubba best
of c D when we got caught in the outskirts
of Hurricane strange enough called Hurricane Rick. And I remember

(50:25):
being in that boat and I went to the I
went to the to the to the pro and and
he he was telling me in Spanish. I didn't know
Spanish as well then as I do now. Uh, But
he didn't have to I didn't have to know because
I saw him with the bucket bailing water, and he
invited me to join, and I thought, okay, well, this
is not good. I didn't know that our answer was
bailing water with buckets. This is not good.

Speaker 8 (50:47):
So that's the solution, okay, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
And the Safari guy just he was very he was
very straightforward. He had a gun as long as this console. Okay.
And if we are approached by a predator, do not run.
If you do, you would just be tired when you die. Okay,
nice note, let's take a note of that one.

Speaker 8 (51:08):
I think he's also taking a shot at you when
it comes. When it comes to cardio, he did. It's
kind of a kind of a shot.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
No, you remember, that's that time. And Sherry and I,
I mean, I think at this point we had kids
and everything. We've been married long enough that she abandoned me.
You know, early on in our marriage, what she thought
was a shark. But we really had not been married
that long, so I didn't expect her to be that
attached to me yet, and so our instinct was to
save herself. But by the time we got to the Safari,

(51:34):
we've been married, we got kids now, and when she
started distancing herself from me, I said babe, what why
are you? Why are you? Why are you not walking
with me? You know what she said, you got that limp,
You don't look, you don't look your your foot's bothering.
You're really bad and I don't like that limp. What
do you mean they're going to go for the limp
and guy?

Speaker 8 (51:52):
Yeah, and the week like you guys do here with me.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
That's a weird moment when the whole we have turned
to you and looks and says, we're good. They'll get him.
Oh yeah, you don't have to be the fastest, just
faster than you. And you could almost feel those eyes
all across that South African area that they would look
at the limping guy. We can get him.

Speaker 8 (52:14):
What happens in those moments is very important.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
You know.

Speaker 8 (52:17):
You learn a lot about people in those kind of
dire moments.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
She whispered back to me. She stood next to the
guy with the giant gun. She said, I'm sorry, and
I was nice, right. I wish I could catch up there,
but I'm but I'm limping.

Speaker 8 (52:30):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (52:30):
Edna is the you know, Italy looks like a big
boot and then there's the island off the toe of
the boot.

Speaker 8 (52:36):
That's where mount is. I didn't know to look at it.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
So what's the final word on this? Did everybody are
we lava field? What? What? What happened? Did everybody get
to safety?

Speaker 12 (52:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (52:47):
I think everybody's okay, okay, but while the views from
that that even the town below is getting us show.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
Oh yeah, it's not good. You know, you don't want
to be the town below. Boy the ash yeah, and
and man look at the ash and talking.

Speaker 8 (53:03):
Look at that.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
Wow. Also I got that as.

Speaker 8 (53:10):
It's not necessary. That is not necessary.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
Check out. I was going to transition that into two
other tragedies. Transition stopped. Sure, okay, okay, great, So, uh cloud,
I was going, I was going for a Gatlinburg update
right there. I will move that away, so we'll uh well,
we'll be back. You got more of the Rick Burgess
Show coming up. You know they can see the ash

(53:34):
cloud from a planet. Uh, we'll be right back to
stay close.

Speaker 8 (53:38):
I'm an ash man.

Speaker 9 (53:40):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
So I was going to mention, but I thought we
definitely need a break before I come back. You know,
we've been following this this story in Gatlinburg. I mean,
think about me. That's almost like a ride of passage
to go to go to Gatlin and the little cute
downtown area. And yeah, and uh, yesterday we had the story.
We just never got to it because it's it's not
a pleasant story, but horrific accident that happened there involving

(54:12):
what we now seem to be able to confirm that
the person who lost control of the mini van had
a medical emergency emergency and I heard the term seizure
of some type yesterday. You know, you think about that
you're walking along a curb and I mean, you know,
you think it's already you want to worry about distracted drivers,

(54:33):
but then you think about, what about something like this
where somebody just loses the control of a vehicle of
no fault of their own. I mean, they're not being
negligence negligent, they just had an episode, but now now
here it comes careening out of control because unfortunately, and
when she had the episode, she hit accelerate versus break.
And once again, there was kind of some mixed information

(54:54):
coming out on you know, injuries, and one time they
had reported they thought there was a death, but now
I think day thankfully we can say six injured, seven
seven injured and they're not reporting anyone has lost their
life today, correct, Right.

Speaker 5 (55:10):
Five victims were in two different vehicles, while the other
two victims were pedestrians. When the minivan accelerated hit a pedestrian,
that that that also hit a sign, the sign fell
hit another pedestrian. The other victims were in the cars. Terrible,
terrible style A good scene for sure.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
Horrible and especially a place that's usually so pleasant and
you're just kind of, you know, they're happy minding your
own business. Yeah, think about that. Yeah, horrible, horrible thing
out of Gatlinburg. And then you guys were telling me
the guy that we have arrested that did the tack
in Boulder, Colorado, that he's doubled down and said if
he got another shot out, did he do it again? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (55:45):
I said he planned it for about a year and
if he if he could do it again, he would.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
By the way, that's not the way to get yourself
out of jail, is it. No, So no, it's not
so anyway, that won't help that, that will not help.
So so anyway, so just kind of updating you on
those two stories and some other stuff today that after
I understand that you tried to prepare dinner last night,
and you took on a ko chef that was two

(56:11):
years old. That is two years old. Yes, yes, we
went with a two year old assistant to cook. Well,
you're prepared to cook, I guess.

Speaker 7 (56:19):
I was talking to Speedy in the break and you
guys were texting quite a bit yesterday, and I was
trying to keep up, and I just never got a
chance to weigh in. I saw just skimming, looking, skimming, looking,
trying to start it.

Speaker 8 (56:31):
And then you're like, oh my goodness, but yeah, Ezra
is two. And when you have a two year old
help you cook? Oh that's not No, they're not helping. No,
they're not helping at all. They made it worse. They
slow you down.

Speaker 7 (56:48):
But yeah, I did a gigantic batch of taco meat
last night, dud for taco night.

Speaker 8 (56:55):
Yeah, we had talked.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
I love. Shouldn't that be today? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (57:00):
I should be again Taco Tuesday. We got leftovers.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
Okay, what do you go with your standard ground beef?
Do you go chuck? Do you go round?

Speaker 3 (57:09):
You go?

Speaker 1 (57:10):
Venison? Is?

Speaker 7 (57:11):
I think like it's it's a little more lean, a
little more lean, little grass fed. It's like eight eighty
five eighty five fifteen something like that.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
That's not that's not much of man. Not very good.

Speaker 8 (57:23):
Uh, it's great. What are you talking about.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
It's great.

Speaker 8 (57:25):
I don't drain it, by the way, is it true?

Speaker 1 (57:29):
Of course not, you know, because what do you use that?
What he does? Lean? But I don't drain. And then
you used to use the drain that's left to put
on your skin and you go out in the sun. Yeah,
beef tallow.

Speaker 7 (57:42):
And then so Ezra helped me by washing tomatoes for
thirty minutes.

Speaker 1 (57:47):
Thirty minutes.

Speaker 8 (57:48):
I mean, you're just he's just playing in the one
he's playing.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
He's all up in the saint yes, yeah.

Speaker 7 (57:55):
And his arms are so short he'll drop the spoon
down in the sink. You can't reach it, so you've
got to get it for him. Everything's funny every time.
His the shortest arms of any child in the in
the world. I think, my goodness, he's my kids. So
there you go, so small, he's so small, poor guy. Well,
I mean he's going to be at the front of
the picture, going to be picture like his daddy.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
You lived it, you can say, go ahead and get
Chris Cross apple sauce and get on the front road.
Hope to sign.

Speaker 7 (58:23):
In fact, I had a buddy of mine all through
grade school. At school, I was the second shortest and
he was the shortest. All through grade school, first grade
through ninth grade.

Speaker 8 (58:33):
We were buddies. And I moved away, moved little buddy
moved to Alabama, and.

Speaker 7 (58:37):
I went back to visit him, uh later in high
school and he passed me up.

Speaker 8 (58:42):
He got taller than me, and he was so he
was so jazzed up. He was like, dude, you god.

Speaker 1 (58:48):
Did you ever find did you ever again find anyone
around him?

Speaker 3 (58:52):
Law?

Speaker 1 (58:52):
Did you ever find anyone again that you were taller than?

Speaker 8 (58:55):
Did I find anyone that I'm taller than?

Speaker 1 (58:58):
When you lost him? When he when he became taller,
did you go find someone you were taller than in
your own grade? And yeah, mad, my.

Speaker 7 (59:04):
Friend, I wasn't the shortest, Okay, I wasn't the shortest.
Once I moved to Alabama, it was a much larger school.
I was at a private, small private school because my
dad's church had a school in it growing up, and
there was I went from a class of twenty seven
in Texas to a class of three hundred and.

Speaker 8 (59:19):
Fifty in Alabama. So that was a big adjustment. But
I wasn't the shortest one, so that was a.

Speaker 5 (59:24):
Yeah, you're a little fish in a big pond, weren't you.

Speaker 7 (59:26):
Oh my goodness, I really was big change that first
day in the lunch room.

The question is who will it be out of the
seats that will be in the battle. Calvin Speedy Wilburn

(01:01:53):
works his way over to the court. He is standing
by to announce which two people we'll face each other
in the Burgess ball battle. Speedy, come in, Greg, he
drew two numbers, Greg, each number is matched. I've bet
the Fritter guys in there, yep. And and I saw

(01:02:14):
him walking together. So this is always awkward. Yeah, he drew.
He drew Alex Cordon and Jess Thornton.

Speaker 4 (01:02:22):
Oh, but I know they came in together. Oh, I
know together. Oh, they've been trash talking. They've been sizing
each other up, a little bit on each other. Now
it's on. It's on, so we will see what happens.
We got Jess to the left, Alex to the right. Guys,
you've got thirty seconds, first twenty seconds. Everything counts as
a two. Last ten seconds, it's three's, So don't.

Speaker 5 (01:02:44):
Give up if you're a little behind. We're gonna go here.
We're gonna go here and here and then wait till
the applause, wait and go all right, we got Alex
and we got Jess.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
Right now it is two nothing to too. What about

Thirty time sixteen sixteen sixteen, Oh my.

Speaker 5 (01:03:18):
Graciousness, ninety twenty two, twenty two, it is tied tied.

I think, I think? What do we do here? Adler knows?
Adler what we do?

Speaker 8 (01:03:34):
It was the three shot? Wasn't it like a three shot?
Messed out of three shot?

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
Three shot? Was it? Three shots? Right?

Speaker 5 (01:03:41):
Yeah, that's what he did. He went, we went the
best of three. So you asked to three shots, and
we see who makes the most. Okay, Alex is up first,
so he's gonna use the right lane. He's got over one.
Oh for two, oh for three, Alan City, Alex, Alex, Alex,

(01:04:02):
how did you shoot with your your hands around your neck?

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
Okay, here we go.

Speaker 5 (01:04:06):
Jess is up now, Jess, you just need to make one,
Come on, Jess, just just.

Speaker 1 (01:04:10):
One, just want it all right? So all right, here's
what happens next speeding listen here. Okay, so the wheel
will be illuminated now, and this one went down to
double overtime or actually overtime, so the loser is actually
gonna spend first. All right, so we've added something. Now
here's what happens winter. So when the loser spends, you

(01:04:34):
can either take what he spends and you're like, I'll
take that, I'll go home, or or you say I'm
gonna spend for myself. So uh, you know, which means money.
You got to spend better than whatever he spent. Maybe easy,
if he spends something you wouldn't care about, it's easy.
But boy, if he spends money, you do have the

(01:04:54):
opportunity to take that money from him. Because you won, brother,
and he lost with probably three of the worst shots
I've ever seen in overtime.

Speaker 8 (01:05:02):
That's not necessary to.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
Say, Okay, no, I'm just helping him. I mean. So,
so when you're ready, you say it's not will to
me because you lost, Alex, it's not will to me,
and then spend it. He just said it. All right,
there there we go. Ok here we go, all right,
so be paying attention. Here we go let's see where
this land. Guys. Goodness god, oh my goodness. Okay, so

(01:05:28):
here's your discussion winner. He won vox seats, meaning you
could come back whenever, and whenever you want to, we'll
work you back in. You don't have to go book anymore.
You can keep those, or you can spin and say
I think I can do better. Now. Once you spin,
that's gone, yep. Okay, so take it or spend for
something better. I got to say, of course you all right,

(01:05:54):
so go ahead and say it's will to me. Oh
smooth spin, Okay, you go. He's going with land close
right here. This is gonna be closest. He's got it.
He's got it, he's got it, he's got it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:07):
He's got a right. Wow.

watch on the camera and that we all suck that
what we do, all right?

Speaker 8 (01:06:51):
And then he comes over here.

Speaker 1 (01:06:52):

Speaker 1 (01:11:23):
And do you know, I'm in a mess? Certain species?
Keep it down home, because I think I don't know.
I think that's is it. You can't shoot any woodpeckers.

Speaker 8 (01:11:32):
I think that's all.

Speaker 2 (01:11:33):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:11:33):
How long is the statue of the statue limitations. I
don't know. I can't believe.

Speaker 9 (01:11:39):

Speaker 1 (01:11:39):
When I was a little boy, I stacked about like cordwood.
Oh they were like they were like a trophy. Oh yeah,

I'm sixty. Yeah, you technically a miner at that time,
I was a Mineray, Greg, are we not with that
daisy our daisy b B guns? We were unstoppable? Oh yeah?
And uh and one and one time. I didn't know
about this. I don't I don't know about this. Every

(01:12:00):
woodpeckers illegal. But I knew that the yellow hammer was
the state bird. And I killed a yellow hammer. And
I was out there buried in the swamp, thinking, well,
there goes my life. I'm sitting out there nine years old,
going well, life's over. Yea, they got that's the end
of it.

Speaker 5 (01:12:16):
In serving times, Well I have, I have tried everything,
and I keep coming that no because I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:12:24):
I can't get it in a You got a pelt gun? Well,

Speaker 7 (01:12:30):
Because I just googled can you shoot a woodpecker? No,
it's generally illegal to kill wooder.

Speaker 1 (01:12:36):
I'm not I'm not killing the woodpecker. I just generally illegal.

Speaker 8 (01:12:40):
They're protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

Speaker 1 (01:12:42):
Generally illegal, and.

Speaker 8 (01:12:44):
The red.

Speaker 7 (01:12:47):
Red cocketed woodpeckers are generally endangered.

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
Well, that's not the one where you shoot the red one?
Is that the one that you know?

Speaker 5 (01:12:55):
Probably I don't know. I don't think it is. I
just I have not been able to catch it. And
and plus I catch it, well you know what I mean,
catch it in the act. But I just go out
and then there's another start of another little hole and
you know, filling it up and got the foam and
getting it and then sawing that off and then painting

(01:13:16):
it and you know, making it look nice and here
it comes from.

Speaker 1 (01:13:19):
But there's another one and then to post it and
it rotten. I don't know why it's chose that post
is that? And what bugs are in it? I mean,
I don't know that. I don't know if they're doing
that or looking for a little home. It's almost like
it's a little bit of recreational drilling. Yeah, sometimes I
think they just packd for pleasure.

Speaker 5 (01:13:36):
I put some steel wool in there and then I
then I did the little little foam stuff that fills
up gaps and.

Speaker 1 (01:13:43):
Then and then and then got knife.

Speaker 8 (01:13:45):
You got to get ready to steel wool trick. I
didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (01:13:48):
Still wool, but a speedy at.

Speaker 8 (01:13:52):
Wouldn't that rust with the steal steel wool.

Speaker 5 (01:13:55):
It's not gonna get wet. I mean I just put
it inside and then covered it with I didn't know what.
I don't know what to.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
Wear on YouTube, don't don't do that hand motion again.
But the just wiping it off, No, no, it was different.
It was when you were putting the stuff. Yeah, you
just wind him up. Let him at least help everybody
out sharp do something in a hole. That's what you do, right,

(01:14:27):
just not being.

Speaker 8 (01:14:29):
Hey, my father in law bird freak. He's a plant freak.

Speaker 7 (01:14:34):
He's a I mean, he'll go hiking in the snow
for for a week.

Speaker 8 (01:14:39):
Who's this my father in law?

Speaker 1 (01:14:40):
Okay, my wife bird.

Speaker 7 (01:14:42):
My wife's dad. He'll hike in the snow for He'll
wear snow shoes for a week and disappear for a
week in the mountains, hiking, sending us.

Speaker 1 (01:14:49):
I felt that way before he got.

Speaker 7 (01:14:50):
A satellite tracker. So it's all safe and all that,
but he is a nature freak. He's a bird freak.
One time he is at my house and we look
in the woods way off in the distance. And because
I've been battering battling woodpeckers too, they'll do a straight line.
A straight line, my bud, okay. And so we're out
on the back deck and I go, look, there's that woodpecker.

(01:15:11):
I think that's the one that's that's bothering me. And
it was a rare type of woodpecker. It was one
of the bigger ones, the smaller ones.

Speaker 1 (01:15:17):
Will we'll see old redhead.

Speaker 8 (01:15:20):
Yes, and it's pilliated, of course it is.

Speaker 7 (01:15:23):
And he goes he's holding my son, by the way,
and he goes, wow, look at that.

Speaker 8 (01:15:28):
You just made my day.

Speaker 7 (01:15:30):
And I'm like, buddy, you're holding your your grandson right now,
should make your day. You need to adjust your your
bird levels of exciting rides.

Speaker 1 (01:15:38):
Yeah, yeah, but in all fairness, think how long it
takes for is to make a hole in the wood. Right.

Speaker 8 (01:15:44):
But the un see affiliated woodpecker every day. So there
you go.

Speaker 1 (01:15:48):
Right, I'm still featured. I'm still still bird fighters at
the house by the bags.

Speaker 5 (01:15:54):
Well, I just don't know it because it's driving my
mom crazy, you know, and she wants it. I thought
about putting a noking signed.

Speaker 1 (01:16:00):
But I don't. I don't think they read.

Speaker 5 (01:16:02):
They don't read some digestions there, and yeah they're ruck
wherever they.

Speaker 1 (01:16:08):
Want to pack. How they keep them getting a headache?
I think about that.

Speaker 5 (01:16:12):
I mean, I've been hunting the hardwoods before, and you
hear that, oh yes, but not the posting in my pair.

Speaker 1 (01:16:17):
And what I don't get is why is he picking
a post on a house when he has hardwoods everywhere.

Speaker 8 (01:16:22):
Sometimes you get a messed up one in the brain.

Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
Their brains get spring, you know, those are the ones
that are on meth No, they got and they'll come.

Speaker 7 (01:16:30):
They'll come and hit up all kinds of stuff where
there's no and you can't stop them. It's like in
their brain. Now, oh that's where I find food.

Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
How you how you finding food on the house.

Speaker 5 (01:16:38):
I'm not seeing any like carpenter bees or anything, because
I've looked off in that hole and like got a
flashlight looked in there just to make sure they're not
after something that's in there, and it's there's nothing there.

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
It's just nothing. I don't know. I just didn't know.
Maybe I'm seeing the comments now, Okay, let y y'all
help speedy if you can. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:16:59):
I mean, I just want to get I don't know
how to get rid of it. Or do you just
let them peck on?

Speaker 1 (01:17:03):
It's generally illegal, not every.

Speaker 8 (01:17:07):
Time, generally speaking, Well, I don't, I mean I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:17:10):
If I so, I generally should not kill a mountain lion.
But if it's coming into my yard and I feel
like I'm in danger and I kill it, they say, okay,
we understand. So it's generally illegal to kill a woodpecker
unless he's a trying your house and you take the
attacking you. Yeah, you are taking saint Say say he
picked he started picking your grandson on the top of
the head, and you had to do something.

Speaker 5 (01:17:29):
Oh and now yeah, now if I'm defending it, that's fine.

Speaker 1 (01:17:33):
But are you not going to defend your parents' house? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:17:35):
And it's halfway up so it's not on the ground,
so there's no there's no termite.

Speaker 1 (01:17:39):
I don't know what it's after.

Speaker 5 (01:17:40):
It's just this one, this one column.

Speaker 1 (01:17:43):
They wouldn't treat my family that way. Well, I'd stand
up and do something. I have filled up two holes.

he's referring to stress every day.

You know. I guess he was talking about all the
stress that was only when I had all them Poe, yes, exactly,
my first come down and take them all home. I
guess that's what he was. That's why to bring it
home by text nation, like you. I thought it was
a text nation. Just when I thought there were no
more woodpecker jokes on the planet, you continue to correct. Yes,
they've got a mont.
