time of the day, you know, I'm shocked at how
many people are on our schedule. I'm talking about live.

(02:36):
It's it's a it's a little bit shocking. It's a
little bit shocking. It is some who have already been
out there. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, I'm wrapping up and going at it.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Speaking of that, I don't I don't know how it
works with with you guys, but so had I heard
the little tiny voice in the dark today my wife,
you know, because you're trying to get up and get
out of there, and you know, we basically move around
and pitch black. Yeah, you know, because you try not
to wake anybody up, of course when they get up
and on your day you're sleeping, not saying but but anyway,

(03:07):
the soul jos. We're so quiet, yeah, and yes, that's
so and I and I and it's not even closing.
I don't understand either.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
I know they can hear, right, so they have to hear.
Just bust on in.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Lights are popping on, the doors are going open, doors
are open with light coming in, not shutting it back right.
And I don't know where they got the PA system
for the drawers, but they're and it's like their microphone
and so but I heard from the darkness.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Hey baby, I said, well, good morning. You do don't
let me wake you. I think I'm gonna go ahead
and get up. I see you can get up at
three three fifteen, that's when you're getting up. I'm thinking
I might start getting on your schedule. That way, we're
on the same schedule when we go to bed the
same time and all.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
But you leave and she's still up. I'm not I'm
not baby, going to sleep now, faint voice from the
bed right right, I'm gonna start getting on your schedule.
And we tried this before, okay, I remember one year
she was like, I'm all in and it's all right,
but how about this. It's not a requirement. It's fine.

(04:17):
Nobody should be up at that time unless you have
to go to work, right, that's it. That's it.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
You don't have to, you don't have to. You can
also didn't know you're a percussionist right in the middle.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Of the night. Wow, Wow, though, boy, what are we
doing there?

Speaker 5 (04:34):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
I don't know about y'all. But but every now and then,
like on the weekend, if we're off, I'll get a
I need seting a clock, and I'm like, were sitting
you clock for I got to go to the whatever
on a Saturday, or like this past Sunday, she had
to go to a meeting at church early. And once
they set that clock, I know what that means. That's
when I'm getting up to Yeah, let me tell you

(04:58):
everything's about. Everything's about to get real. Do you think
they're so accustomed to us not being there? They just
start getting themselves together as if we're not there. I
don't know. Is that what it is because it's so
normal that we're not Is that part of it?

Speaker 6 (05:14):
Rude?

Speaker 1 (05:18):
On the rig?

Speaker 7 (05:18):
I wouldn't bet On the rare occasion I'm getting ready
for work and the house is empty, I got the
house to myself. It's amazing how much faster I can
move when I'm not trying to be.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
Yeah, yeah, I'm not.

Speaker 7 (05:30):
Like picking up my keys ache as slowly.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Guys. I take the clothes and I've talked to this
that I'm going to wear the next day, and I
put them outside the room. I mean, you know, because
I just I just lay them on our table in
the dining room and just and then go out there
and dress.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
That's a good way to do it.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Because if not, you're going to be clanging around. So
I just I go from from the bathroom and turn
the lights off, and then your eyes are adjusting, so
you're walking back through the bedroom and you know, you
can't see anything, and then and then you go out
and and that's my only way of not waking her up.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Does anybody get the the shove from the wife? When
you already hear the clock, You just hadn't had a
chance to get your hand up here and stop at you. Yeah, yeah,
I'm like, give me a second. I mean, I hear
it too. I just I got to move over there
and get my hand up there. I mean to cut
it off. I don't have to have a shove. Of course,
I almost snooze twice, are you?

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Oh yeah, see that, I know I'm.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Not a snoozer. Oh ie a minute.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Sometimes it's it's at least once. And I know, y'all,
y'all say I'm weird for wearing my watch, But if
you wear it enough, you don't even know it's I
don't even know it's sleeping the watch. Yeah, and I don't.
I don't even know it's on. You're in the bed,
like rolling around moving pillows with a watch with just
an Apple watch on.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yes, you're like those people they put them monitors on
their ankle.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, you got me that. It's just it's that's just.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
And global risk and risk. It's something different.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
You're leaving a big old thing on my as no comparison,
but anyway, that's one benefit is that with the alarm,
before it makes a noise, it gives you a little
bit of a vibration on your wrist and then you
can quickly turn it off, so it never really is.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Huge that I would never wake up enough to do that.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
You feel it, you feel it, you will first I'd.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Be away because I can't sleeve with the watch. Absolutely.
All I would think about all night is watch on
watch on watch watching to sleep, but there's up snagging
on my pillow.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yea, my head's dead.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
But but but it also is able to like monitor
me during the night so I can see you know.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
You hope it's right.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
But yeah, but I know y'all don't believe anything. And
y'all going to say it's stupid. You know, we make
fun of things.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
We don't show where you got three hours sleep? I
know we got more than three hours sleep.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
That by the way, I've never shown him that I've
gotten three hours hours four This is, this is.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Here's here's what I want. Y'all get it all out
of it. Listen. I look at the information and then
what do I do? How can I change it?

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Well, I'm not I'm just I don't know how. I
guess the next night you get some sleep, because you
know you didn't get any.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
But didn't you try the night before? I'm sorry, I mean,
what do you do something different to try to get
more sleep? I mean, what do you do? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (08:23):
I think we all know sometimes that we don't sleep great.
But that kind of lets you know, hey, I got
more deep sleep than not. This is kind of the
extent of the sleep or whatever. And I'm sure some
of it it's not one hundred percent, but it's closed
your blood pressure, your your heart rate all through the night.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
I mean, I just I know it gives you an
idea of what time I get up. I just use
my own.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
But you think, yeah, four okay, And then what times
you go to bed at a certain time but you
don't fall asleep. Well, here's what I do to this
one too. If I didn't sleep good the night before,
I'm usually real sleep the next thing. I go to
sleep earlier I do. You're right now and you never
want and watching it have to do.

Speaker 8 (09:00):
It for them.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
So he's just trying to be I guess I'm stupid.
I don't know what I mean, you know what, I.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Need to take this off my wrist and throw it.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
I usually slept with even this regular watch, which is
really weird. No, I've never slept with a regular watch. No,
I did not. He slept with a watch on one
hand and lived strong on the other. Oh, you had
the magnetic things shake.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
My bell, Go ahead, get it out of You're like
a doll on my leg.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Go ahead, finish.

Speaker 6 (09:31):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Here we go from text Nation. Hey, speedy straight Man,
the straight Man. I love my fitbit. It's made me
more conscious of my sleep and physical activity. It was
a gift for my wife, or I would have never
won it, but now I never take it off. Don't
let the bird this boy's body. So there's well, y'all
made fun of this is nobody's making fun. And I
just said, I don't usually think you were making fun.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Then y'all got an issue.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
I know making fun.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Y'all made fun of the watch thing that's not new,
saying that's not that's that's that's like, it's hard for you.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
But it's not hard for me. You had that big
around one I didn't. I don't know how you're about
to win and got from the Honeycombe Hoder.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
We're just in proving. We're just in proven today we're
just making the.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Coder fan no Honeycomb hoide out. That was my favorite
watches ever. I think it was as big as the wheel.
It was. It was like, I bet you had a
super strong wrist turn that thing around. I really think
he's slipping.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
He's forgotten, you know, Greg, in his mind, he thinks that.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
You with the watch. We've had a discussion before you
had a smart watch. Okay, goodness, So is that a
what is a fit bit?

Speaker 9 (10:45):
That?

Speaker 1 (10:45):
What that is?

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, it's the same thing as an Apple. It's just
a different company. It gives you, it gives you different feedback.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Remember the watches for growing up that you hit a
bunny to play Dixie? You're why would you Dixie?

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Was?

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Nobody remembers a Dixie watching.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
You?

Speaker 1 (11:02):
You and you only remember what? No, I don't remember. Yeah, no,
I don't remember Dixie watched Greg. Maybe I've just tried
to put it out of my mind. I don't know.
I'm telling you there was a Dixie watch. No, I
don't remember that. Your truck, Okay, that was that. I
didn't know I had that home.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
That was funny the day you figured that out. You
didn't even know it when you bought them.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
They added that extra no charge when I played a
bonus find it when coming through the circle driveway? What
did you do when you saw the button and you
went no, one no. If you remember the stories, what
those those of you that don't know don't know that story.
So y'all, y'all know we've talked about back in the
Rick and Bubby years and still and still still talk

(11:46):
about it to this day. Is our friend j T,
who has been in the business forever. He's a legend
in radio and just the world's greatest hypochondriac. But he
j T always has some kind of deal going, so
you know, and so you know, all of us if
you're in this business or have been, you know, there's

(12:07):
times that you might be in between companies or whatever,
and it's some point, you know, because JT's always worried
about something. He had some concern that his whole career
was on the downfall, and he's thought he could pick
up a little extra cash by selling used cars. Do
you remember this, yes, And so in course you know,
if JT's got something to sell, the first place he

(12:30):
gonna go, Like most people when they have a new keip,
they're going to the friends and family pairs. You can
see him coming and he's like, you need a used car?
Let me know. So anyway, so we were one of
the things too when you do what we do, which
there's so many great perks. But the problem with perks
is you don't know how long you got them. Now,
let me be clear, in our industry, the perks are

(12:50):
fewer and fewer now, okay, but in the heyday of
terrestrial radio, I mean they were perks everywhere. But the
perks would come and go, you know, couldn't count. Yeah,
And so we were we were driving vehicles and doing commercials.
But the vehicles, to us, all we had to do
was buy the insurance, yeah, and the tag, but the

(13:11):
truck was ours and then we'd have to turn them
in every year. Brother. Well, we got in between a
dealership decided they weren't going to continue, and then another
group was considering it. So we were in between. And
I mean, you got to have a vehicle, and and
I love Ram trucks, as you know, and so I
just JT said, oh, come down see me. I gotta
use Ram truck be perfect for you. And I thought, well,

(13:32):
I throw a little bone, make a deal JT's way
and get me one. I go down there and were
driving around and he's in there with we think we
think said I think, I said, I think yeah, I said,
I think that you buy today, and I was like, yeah,
I think I am. And uh right, I mean I
mean you know, like, come on, can I tell Can
I tell my guy you're going to buy? Yes? So guy,

(13:56):
so we go through the report of sale. If you're
selling me the truck, should we cover the Dixie horn?
That would be okay. So he never covers that, and
I never know anything about it. It's a lot of
Dixie horns out there. No, And so I get into
the truck. Today's I drive I drive off in the truck.
I'm happy with the truck. I'm fine with it. It's it's
what I need, good price, whatever, and yeah, I got

(14:18):
you deal. Yeah, I'm sure you did. So anyway, I
get to the I get to the first red light
going home, and I look down and I'm like, what
is this? And there's this extra button down there just
to my left on the of the dash of the dash,
and I'm like, what any world is this? Well, like
an idiot, I just push it. That's probably stupid. I
mean what if the hood flew up or yeah, you know.

(14:40):
And so I go over there and I and I
and I pushed that button and also in here mac
mac ma, and I'm like, what any world this thing
has a Dixie horn stand in the past twenty years?
Where would you even get a DIXI here and I thought,
what you know, you don't come hey, you don't cover
the dicks horned, and so I called J T. Bacsi

(15:02):
you came me in trouble with the Dixie horn. He
at no charge and h I'm like, so it's an
extra Yeah. So then I had some fun with that,
but then, as you can imagine, it ended up causing
more trouble yeah than fun. Yeah, yeah, used too much.
Well well plus plus, it's not like you played smoke

(15:23):
on the waters paying.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Dis Yeah you all hear the Dixie watch?

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah? They still having Are we allowed to even play
Dixie anymore? I mean it's his favorite ever. Yeah, that's
not annoying at all. It's like killing my ears. You
think people in class wouldn't play that, Just by the
way people said, they're now saying that, Yes, yes they did.

(15:49):
Let me tell you the coldest thing. Uh we were
growing up, My buddy, you're mean to cut down volkswagons.
They chopped the front and chopped the back off, but
mud tires on them were pretty awesome. Well, my buddy
to run to Mick Sheridan. He had one of those.
Plus he had a horn and it had a keypad
in it and you could play multiple songs. Oh, you
would type in the code you could do a little

(16:09):
coocker rotchet. I mean it was it was awesome. I
don't go ahead of his time. What was it? There
was a horn on his vehicle and it had a keypad.
I mean you didn't just play my song, you typed
in all you feeling. Oh, he had a bunch of
different once you choose from. Well if you remember, well,

(16:31):
if you remember what happened, I was coaching the Little
League of course at the time. Of course the kids
thought it was the greatest thing ever, so they called
for it. Well, unfortunately, you just forget that this song
is very divisive. You know, I don't I'm not afraid
of songs, but but but some people are. It's very divisive.
Pass yeah, and you want to you want to be

(16:52):
a censor that reasonably. So I was goofing off with
it one day and somebody heard me from another field,
uh and turned me as a racist. If you remember that,
put some put some Facebook post. To be honest, I
can't think why anybody else would actually have a horn.

Speaker 9 (17:07):
And.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Well what what the what the incorrect accusation was is
that I played it directed at certain times, which was
completely walk was completely wrong.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
And you did yeah, you're sitting ready to get well.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
And if you remember, it was one of the funny women.
And they did come back and do an apology. I
gave all the list of things that that actually are
in my real life, and I said, so, if I
am a racist, I'm not a very good that's a
good you know, I really got I really need to
work on it. Yeah, And so they they did a
bit of this. It's not going to stop them from
accusing years. No, and I while look at somebody's record

(17:42):
that hasn't changed who they are and apparently that continues
to this day to day.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
I was making an accusation.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Move on with it. Let me tell you what. Let
me tell you the truth that I have no idea
what I'm talking about. That will not stop me from posting.
I got no idea. What if I can get it
out there first? Somebody said I'm on the home keys.

Speaker 7 (18:02):
Yeah, who I found a kid. It's thirty percent off.
You guys want one.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
I don't want anymore. I do want Greg to wear
a watch to bed though I can't sleep well. It's
just like your wedding band. First time you had it on,
it freaks out.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
You forgot to I wear a tattoo.

Speaker 6 (18:18):

Speaker 1 (18:26):
A lot of times we do things why well, because
that's the way it's always been. But just because that's
the way it's always been, does not mean that is
what we should continue to do. I want to talk
to you about bank on yourself. Have you ever thought
about that? Maybe some of this is not the truth?

(18:47):
What do I mean by that? All?

Speaker 5 (18:48):
Right?

Speaker 1 (18:48):
So Wall Street insists the only way to have enough
money to retire is to put your life savings in
a four oh one K or an ira A. Right.
We all been told that then you roll the dice
with it in the Wall Street casino. But if that
were true, why does studies continue to show that the
average American following that advice that we've all been told

(19:10):
for generations, that Americans, by a huge margin, outlive their
savings by a staggering ten years on average. So even
the man who's invented the four O one K says
it's a monster that should be destroyed. Have you have
you seen this discussion? So why don't you maybe do

(19:33):
something different? Okay, it's time to get the truth, discover
a better way to grow and protect your money and
it's called bank on Yourself. It's the proven retirement plan
alternative that banks in Wall Street desperately hope that you
didn't don't hear about. Meaning they're like, gosh, oh they're
not listening to birds, but I'm telling you about it.
It's guaranteed predictable growth and retirement income with Bank on Yourself. Okay,

(19:58):
so you have to understand that this is a whole
new way to do things now. Not only that, also
tax free retirement income. You'll know what your tax burden
will be none, You're in control. You get access to
your money for emergencies and opportunities. This is the one
I love with no questions asked, no no government penalties, no,

(20:18):
no begging people for access to the money you've been saving.
Are you kidding me? It keeps growing like you never touched.
Try doing that with a four oh one K or
an r A. You can't do that, Okay, So why
don't you go right now get get get a free
report that reveals how you can bank on yourself and
enjoy tax free retirement income, guaranteed growth and control of

(20:40):
your money. Just go to bank on Yourself dot com
slash r b S and get a free report that's
Bank on Yourself dot com slash r b s Bank
on Yourself dot com slash r b s now in
the break we we we did discover. You know, we've

(21:03):
talked to about a number of really important things today
like uga horns uh and watches that play songs and speedies,
sleeping overnight with a watch on which I don't know
how he does it either. But then, just when we
thought that made a lot of sense, Greg's informed us
that he can't sleep in his wedding ring. Sleeping ring weird. No,

(21:27):
First of all, you normally I have a rubber ring,
and then then you can't fail them on you. But
if it's metal, then I guess I could give you
stuff I wanted to, but I don't. I thought, like
women with a bunch of rings, I doubt they go
to bed with them, all right, it'scording with the ring
is mostly so you're a woman. No, I'm just saying,
sleep with their wedding band. I doubt.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
So you take your wedding band off to lay down
if I think about it.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
The point is because then it gets concentrated on it.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
But I don't say you start to thinking about it
and you can't the rubber ones.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
I don't feel to me, I only use the rubber
ring when I'm working out, okay, and or I forget
if I'm forget comfortable. Well, it is comfortable, but I
think it looks ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Once again, thank you. I have one on.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
I like that, but I mean, I'm married and I'm
signifying married with a black ring. I mean, I don't know.
It's just sad about it, am. I In morning my.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Mother ring, my mother ring kept kept getting scarred up
on the bar and you know, on the dumbbells, and
and I went, I went to that.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Oh no, yeah, I understand that my other one is
just in the safe. It's dangerous not to actually work
out with the medal on. Yeah, absolutely so I understand,
But just wearing it all the time. On time I tried,
I can't wear it all the time because I look
down and I've got a black ring on. I had
a cameo one. Well that's that's romantic. Well, I mean, yeah,
telling you that, nothing says life commitment like a camo ring.

(22:57):
I think it's massy oak. Yeah, so I understand the function.
I don't like jewelry. I don't know yeah, yeah, no,
I will go I will go this far on me.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
Jewelry on a man in general makes me uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
It does. I don't wear jewelry. A wedding ring is
all I wear, and I don't have anything. You know,
I've even seen guys that will wear other rings. I
know that's odd to me.

Speaker 7 (23:26):
Which is funny, Johnny Depp, I mean, what do you
do to each his own?

Speaker 1 (23:32):
You know, I don't think you're a bad person if
you do it. Just no. Uh, and I think I
think jewelry and tattoos one thing I think we all
could learn less is more. Yeah, I keep going with that.
That does. Nobody seems to listen if you're if you're
a walking comic strip, I mean, and boy, I'm not
the best presentation.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Now, you do have an advantage. You have the ring tattoos,
so you don't ever have to worry about a bad Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
Never lose it.

Speaker 7 (23:57):
Greg says that that doesn't tip women off, and I'm like, well,
none of them are hitting on.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
Me, so I think they're getting the idea.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
You know, I'm just saying you wouldn't look down and
go must mean he's married, you know what I'm saying
it looks like a sharp he got away from.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
Well, then explain why women aren't trying to pick me up?

Speaker 7 (24:13):
Makes no sense working your hypothesis makes no sense.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Greg, I've shend a couple of big women try to
physically pick they could.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
Oh, you know who gets a pass for jewelry? Mister t, Oh,
get a pass.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
You don't have to take it off when you're rolling
right now, imagine mister t trying to sleep and all that
mess he had.

Speaker 7 (24:36):
Evidently he had one big hook in the back because
it would take him an.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
Hour to put on all the necks. Yeah, he's like, man,
I got to do something.

Speaker 7 (24:42):
So he like he clamped them all together and it
was one big hook in the back so we could
put on a hundred necklaces at once.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
That hard to be a wake up call. Let me
ask you this, When you had that serpente necklace, did
you wear it all the time, because you know, when
they were sleeping serpentine necklace?

Speaker 2 (24:57):
You know the chain?

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yeah, ch I can't remember. I don't I don't, I
don't know. I can't remember. You know J C.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
J C and Reese both wear chains.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
I used to wear.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
It's funny they found him in a drawer.

Speaker 7 (25:10):
What is this if you're if you're I mean between
the age of ten and thirty, and you're not wearing
a chain, you're I mean.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
Are you even cool?

Speaker 1 (25:18):
No?

Speaker 4 (25:18):
No, it is wild to see gold chains.

Speaker 7 (25:21):
Like my nephew, he's ten eleven somewhere in there, I
should know that.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
But he wears a gold chain all the time, rocks
at all the time. And I noticed speed of your
your your your kids. That that was why I poke.
I picked that age range because it's that whole group.
They're all about it.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
A change your back. Some of these changes, especially the
n i L football players they're wearing, is just the
most ridiculous, look I see, yeah it is. And somebody
said on somebody said on textanation that some men are
wearing pinky rings. That can't be true. Oh is that true?

Speaker 4 (25:54):
Mark Swell would wear one.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Gotta get I gotta be honest, Mark swt Man, what
do the family man?

Speaker 7 (26:00):
Mark?

Speaker 4 (26:01):
The family serious?

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Passed away? Right, he did.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
I'm not talking about somebody, by the way.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
You want to know why I jumped in and said that,
because this one here, Yeah, yeah, if he was a pistol,
he was cocking. Yeah, that was my flag to up
every finger.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
That's your business.

Speaker 7 (26:23):
Mark Sweat was he was like a He was what
I would call a gypsy man.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Uh huh, you know what I mean? He him know
he was.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
I mean, it's it's it was Johnny Depp. It was
Johnny Depp.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Various colors went woven through his hair.

Speaker 7 (26:40):
Yeah, maybe a bandana somewhere somewhere in there, dirty fingernails.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
You're not sure if it's if it's tied to his
errors for it?

Speaker 4 (26:47):
Yeah, is he Jack Sparrow?

Speaker 5 (26:50):
What is he?

Speaker 1 (26:51):
But but I remember I don't even know if I
mentioned this or not on the show I played Little Ball. No,
I hadn't heard that. And so when I was playing
even and I needed it and I understood the function
of it. But I couldn't wear arm pads. I couldn't
wear any of that stuff. I didn't I didn't take
my wrist, I didn't do anything. I couldn't do any

(27:12):
And I have taped your ankles right well, I did
have to tape them every every or something else did
every day. I remember when I broke my hand, I
had to wear a glove for a little while to
hold it in place. And that like that drove me crazy,
even though I thought it looked sharp. Of course, what
about these in baseball? Obviously it's still get on my nerves.
But you see people playing football with the necklace on.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
Yeah that like.

Speaker 6 (27:37):
All that.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah, you think rich and and snatched and some of
the baseball I remember the guy with the pearls, look
like look ridiculous. I've got so Yeah, when men started
wearing pearls, we should have outlawed that. I've noticed something
in baseball and you are not gonna like it, And
I thought about you. I'm so glad I remember it.
I've been trying to think of this for weeks now
to tell you so apparently, And I know how much

(27:59):
this bothered you in football when somebody would get a
turnover and you come to the sideline and they put
some ridiculous something on you and you run around pumpy
chest and show the crowd, look i've got bullhorns on
now or some kind of ridiculous and then the next play,
the thing is the ball back after all that celebration. Right, Well,

(28:20):
I'm noticing now that baseball players are starting to put
weird things on when they hit a home run, big
old funny heads yes, and like they're putting one. I
saw one team they put like a head of a
mascot on after you're hitting a home run. So now
that ridiculous stuffs come to baseball. Rick, that's been going on,
has it? Yeah? I didn't know that they put things on.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Hey no, Rick, this is funny. One of the teams
puts on a their their their university's football helmet and
runs and runs runs through the field. And it's even
gotten into major league baseball. Yeah, okay, oh I'm sorry. Yeah,
college baseball, it's been going on. Okay, but but not
everybody does it. But they have their own dugout celebration.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
What about they slam don't the football in the trash
can everything that. I don't know what that is. But
let's a turnover you. For some reason we get to
do that. But back to this to your point, you
mark my words. Because now it's entered major league, they'll
all do it. Because people, we're the biggest sheeple. If
somebody does something, it loses its uniqueness because it's the

(29:20):
greatest line ever that I don't know who the first
person ever said it. I want to be unique like
everybody else, right, Yeah, And so if somebody starts something
that makes them unique, then everybody starts doing it saying
that makes us all unique. Ye, well it can if
we're all that way, you know. So if we're all
wearing stupid things in our head, then this is not
unique to you, you know. I mean, if you want
to have fun, I get it. Yeah, I'm just we.

Speaker 4 (29:41):
Don't want any part of it. I don't want a
single part of that fun.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
I'm not anti fun, but I am anti stupid. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (29:48):
Here's an article best home run celebration props. This is
from the twenty twenty three season. Yeah, and you've got
Viking helmets, You've got tri dents. The Mariners did a
try dent, you got inflatable dumbbells.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
It's there's the Los.

Speaker 7 (30:05):
Angeles Angels did a Samurai sword. So this is you're right,
big hat.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Those big hats. I just I don't understand.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
That's a bit.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
I wish I knew what Tammy was. Somebody I think
has got a version of their mascot's head they put
on when they hit a home run. It's like a
smaller version of it. Let's say we were a baseball time.
It's a muppet. I don't know what to put on.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
What would our what would our home run celebration be?
Rick and the dugout. I know y'all don't want one,
but I'm saying, if we were going to put something on,
what would it be.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Are we gonna wear something?

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, yeah, we got we got to put it on.
We got to put it on.

Speaker 7 (30:42):
Mixed teas chains would be cool for just just a
ton of change, and then we could be like.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Mother No Greg, Greg hit one out. Of course, as
soon as he gets the dug out, he's.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
A, OK, Yeah, I got it.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Holds Fred up?

Speaker 2 (30:55):
We got Fred?

Speaker 1 (30:57):
What a hitter Fredder.

Speaker 6 (31:00):
Show?

Speaker 1 (31:06):
There's been a you know, I mean, if you have
wives like we do, and I know that my wife
cooks for us and cooked for the family, I would
say ninety percent of the time I cook some grilling,
row breakfast out here or there.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, wild game, Yeah, that kind of stuff, very similar
at our house.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah. And you were saying though that that your wife
doesn't think you cooked much.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Well what well? Terry had run down to the beach
for like a day and a half, two days. There
were a quick last minute run down. Some of the ladies,
uh went down and she's having to come back today.
But it's been a day or two without her there.
And last night JC he went to work and then

(31:54):
went and worked out or something like that, and I
just texted him. I said, Hey, dinner plans or whatever,
and it's like now it's just going to come to
the house and and everything.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
I said, I got you and he's like, hey, awesome things.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
So I did.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
I got everything ready and organized and it was hot,
and I mean he got home probably a little later,
and I wanted seven seven thirty.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Man, he dove in, and I said, hey, you need
to text your mom because you know, she does like
you're saying with Sherry, and she kind of runs the
whole cooking thing. I'll jump in from time to time,
but she enjoys it, she really does. And hey, by
the way, I love that she enjoys it. Uh And uh,
I said, please text her and let her know how. Hey,

(32:37):
dad's showing out. Oh yeah, I said, tell her, tell
her what you ate.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
You were pretending that you prepared this.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
And I said, I said, but but but so so
we're not lying. Just say what you ate, you know, hey,
dad boy? He showed out. Man the grilled chicken, uh,
and with rice and Greek salad. Man, that was delicious,
you know, Greek and uh. And so he did and
she came back. She's like, do what, why don't you
do that? Why don't you cook for me like that?

(33:05):
You know?

Speaker 1 (33:06):
And buddy.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
It went back and forth, back and forth for probably
twenty thirty minutes, and she just couldn't believe, you know,
he's like, yeah, boy, he showed out. Then he ran
up and got got.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Wait, man, did she start getting excited like you had?

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Actually yes, she said, well I cannot wait for this, honey.
What are you cooking me this week? And she went
on and on and on and Greek food? Yeah, and
he runs he runs up and gets in the shower
and everything. Well, the text kept going and uh and
so I respond, I said, yeah, man, it even came
with like Tazekee sauce and some Peter bread and so

(33:39):
finally she realized that wait a minute, you got to
carry out right, and then got hunking me man, laid
it out on the plate, you know, and uh, and
she was like, oh my good. You never said she
did the hand of the forehead, like are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (33:54):
As you did you duped me. But hey, we had
her running for about twenty minutes.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
She thought that you ever.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Stop and think. I don't recall him ever been ever
to cook a prepare Greek food for Rush?

Speaker 2 (34:08):
I had had a grilled chicken breast over rice with
a Greek salad on the side. Is Greek and uh man,
it was delicious.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
I love Greek food every day.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
It was so good. He devoured and uh and I
couldn't wait. I had to go ahead and eat mine
because I got to carry So.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
What is the what if you were cooking for real?
What do you cook this good?

Speaker 8 (34:30):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Hamburger helper is awesome? No, I'm kidding good, of course
I'm not my omelets. But but we won't get into
that now.

Speaker 5 (34:39):
You know.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
I always tend to fall to the grill and prepare
the meat on the grill.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
What's your omelet technique? Now I need to know.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Oh, I'm known for the omelet. All the boys, all
the boys, whenever they were whenever they had spend the
night friends, I would make them omelets. The next morning
nice I'd fill it with all.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Yeah. Yeah, it does take skill to fold it back
over and it will fall apart. I mean you got
about the key about ten spatialists trying to do it,
you know, like hang you flip it over? Oh yeah,
you do that, you kind of do that. It'd be
cool if you could.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
What do you put in it? What do you put
in your online? Uh?

Speaker 1 (35:22):
It would be cheese.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
You got cheese, bacon, and some ham. I've even throw
a little bit turkey in there.

Speaker 4 (35:29):
Hams everywhere.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Know, maybe even maybe even a little saucy ye tiny.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
Bit of spinach.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Yeah yeah, it doesn't like that. Yeah, but it would
be a thick old omelet. And uh, when the boys
had spend the night friends, they would they would they
would love the ominis.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
A matter of fact. It's funny.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
One of j C's buddies, he ran into Grown Grown
and said, Hey, you know what I love right now
is one of your dad's omlinds.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Oh really, yeah, I'm just saying that.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
You know, I'm not bragging. That's just what happens.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
You made all that Greek food.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yeah, now, Terry thought I made a dish man.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
She couldn't believe that. You know, I waited for her
to leave. There's a reason, man, all of that is there.
And of course there's the Rick Burgess Show facebook page.
You can enjoy that with Blaze TV. And there's also
a Rick Burgess Show fan page Big Head Chuck runs out. Yeah,

(36:22):
so you can you can enjoy that too. So yeah,
I sent Adler we were talking about cooking going into
the break and I sent Adler actually a picture of
a little something I threw together last night. And so
this is hitting. Yes, we we're hard about that. Sherry.
Sherry and I went to the to the farmers market
on Saturday morning, okay, and we gathered up fresh squash,

(36:45):
fresh onions, fresh peas. Now the port shops we got
at New York butcher shop you know which number one,
uh and so and so last night I hit the
my really my specialty as I'm Sherry, loves when I
do the squashing onions. That's that's one of the things
I do.

Speaker 9 (37:04):
I do.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
I love that I do that. Well you do? Oh yeah,
so good. And of course the peas that weren't a
big deal because the farmers had those ready to go.
You just you just heat them up, you know, so
that wouldn't even throw a little hammock in there, little onion.
But uh so, uh so that's that's just that's a
good old So those you can't see it, pork chop,
stir fried, squashing onions, and some delicious I forget what

(37:29):
kind of peas those are? They not field peas. There's
a name for them. I forget. They're a little more buttery,
almost like a butter pea kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
Yeah you serious, Clark.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
I'm serious, Clark. Yeah, that's uh. It looks really good
right there. That looks really good.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Big I should have taken a picture of the plate
I made, Big Papa like that one.

Speaker 4 (37:47):
Yeah, what are you putting on the squash? What are
you putting on the pork chop?

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Okay, the pork chop? That is a rub that I
get from New York butcher shop. That is fantastic. Sure
are you sure? They don't do it and you just
heat it up? Well really, if you think about it,
that you just putting it on the grill, you know
what I mean. But anyway, so they have a rub.
If you're gonna cook it same day, have them go
ahead and put the rub on it. If you're gonna
wait a few days, have the rub on the side

(38:11):
because it'll get too much. Be too they're too much.
So and then on the squash. Usually this time the
onion bits are smaller than I like, Sherry forgot and
she accidentally chopped them up as opposed to I cut.
I usually come in rings, sure, you know, and you
have the rings in there with it. And that's just
simple olive oil, any kind of seasoning you want on it,

(38:34):
you know, salt, pepper, you can go that simple, or
you can get into certain Cajun spice if you like
any kind of that. Just you know, just season your
your squash like you won't. Let those onions cook really
really good in there, so the onion flavors with it,
and you want to make sure, you know, it's good
and brown on both sides. You want to get it,
you know, you want to be sure that it's not

(38:54):
that you and cook them a dallion's kind of not
too thick, you know, you know, a good thin side,
so they'll cook all the way through and it'll be
really good. And then the peas are simple. You just
put those in water, a little salt and pepper, throw
some onion and hamhock in there, and you're off and running.
You're ready, you're ready to go. I can't decide whether
my next YouTube my next YouTube content should be my

(39:17):
new handiness or more cooking stuff. I can't decide because
there's a lot of a hop out there for the handy.
Yeah show us rick short right, Yeah? Yeah, it really
will you know you're actually a cooky. You put the grill,
I'll put the por chops on. Actually fixed? Is that
what you're going about? But I think you just tightened

(39:37):
a screw screws to not just think you went handle
got handle, got a little loose, and you could even
you could even see the bolt in there. I had
to find it. You couldn't get get out there to
see it.

Speaker 7 (39:50):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Also, is being handy going and filling up a propane
tank and exchanging it out? Do you think that's handy?
Because I did that this weekend. I got was your
grill un'table to work? And it works? Fixed it? Hey?

Speaker 4 (40:03):
I got gas yesterday?

Speaker 1 (40:08):
Could the car run without it?

Speaker 4 (40:10):
Fixed it?

Speaker 1 (40:13):
Guys. I'm about to say something that I think don't you.
Have you ever had that when somebody tells you about
something you didn't know existed, and then you're kind of
torn because it sounds so delicious, but it may not
be the best choice, and you wish you'd ever known
about it. So I'm going through the farmers market and
there's a lot. I love the farmer's market because I
like to say, you look, let me tell you what

(40:33):
when a farmer brings the over No, when when the
farmer brings their stuff to the market and it just
came from them to you. I'm telling you it's difference
because at a grocery stores with the produce stuff, they
got to make that stuff last, so you know that
that stuff's not where like if you you go to
the farmers market and I mean, hey, and you know

(40:53):
what I did. I'd done this in forever, even though
they all now have swipers. I brought a little cash.
I like it there and go back and forth, tell
you what, I'll give you ten boats for that. You
know that kind of thing, go back and forth, you
horse trade, little horse trading. I enjoyed it. So anyway,
so I've met a lot of people that you know,
are very complimentary about the show. Thank you for that.
And then all of a sudden, you know how when

(41:14):
you just think something comes together. You've heard us. We
did a whole segment I think was it last week
on East Boga, you know where Greg and I are
from Wingo Wingo all that this this place called East Boga.
So that's something that's a trigger to Greg and me
of home. Okay, not far. Actually it's in Atri Sea limits, buddy.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
I know you say that.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
We covered it. They covered it. So I was walking
down the different tents and all of a sudden, what
do I hear? Hey bird?

Speaker 2 (41:42):
Oh you hear that?

Speaker 1 (41:43):
And we're all over and there's honey everywhere, okay, and
he hey, I just want you to know. I love
to show love what y'all do. I just want to
give you some money. And I pick it up. I
pick it up and I look East Boga. I said,
are you from, mister b I see? I said, how
many hig have you got? Us? About over four hundred

(42:03):
and so then here's what happened. And I said, man,
I know you're out here trying to make a living.
You don't have to give that to me. I want
some honey. We're out at home whatever, No, No, I
want you. I want you to have it. So we
will walk around with just you straight up, honey. I'm
excited about that. And then we go back by. Later
Brody and his wife Cametastic join us. You know, after
we'd gone through the extravaganza the night before, and they're

(42:25):
about to go down to the lake to see her folks,
but they wanted to do this first with us, take
some stuff down there to her parents, some flyers and
vegetables and stuff. So so anyway, I go back by
his place again and I said, man, thank you again
for that, honey. And I walk over and I said,
what else you got here? He goes, I'll tell you what.
I said. I want to buy something from you. I said,

(42:47):
because I know you're up here, it's hot, whatever, working hard.
He said, you ever you ever had chocolate? Honey? Chocolate?
I said, excuse me, no, but it sounds good, he said.
He said, we take cocoa beans, and then through the proceso.
I wouldn't listen to real good at this part, but
all I could heard was chocolate, honey, And I said,
what do you mean. He goes, it's honey and chocolate

(43:08):
and it pours out like a chocolate syrup.

Speaker 6 (43:11):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
And I said, oh, it sounds good. Oh now wait
a minute, and I said how much you want for that?
And so we bought some of it and we brought
it home and hey, guys, really Hey, guys, Hey guys.
If you think chocolate syrup is good chocolate honey, you know,

(43:34):
I know they got the hot honeys. Everybody's into that now.
I'm really not into that chocolate honey. Yeah, chocolate. So
what we did, I said, I told you, Sherry said,
how do we give it a run? He gave us
a spoon over to try, and so make your head tangle?
So good? Did you doubled it? So then what we
did share it got We got some you know, we
got some peaches. The peaches, by the way, peach crop

(43:54):
looks fantastic.

Speaker 4 (43:55):
He just smells so good.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
The peach crop right now. Fantastic. Man. They got some big,
old juicy peaches. Yeah, so we got some peaches. We
got some blueberries. And Sherry has a particular form she
we must get the blueberries from. Okay, don't want to
talk about it because people overrun it, but anywhere it's down,
you know the area. So oh okay, yeah. So anyways,

(44:17):
so so yesterday Sherry puts fresh peaches and blueberries, mixes
it all together, puts it in the fridge to get
it cold, comes out and puts the chocolate honey over it. Man,
those blueberries got in that chocolate honey? Hey? Of course

(44:43):
you know, I know Speedy wants put it on ice cream.
But yeah, hey, have you ever heard of chocolate honey? Never?
I know it was my first day. No, but you
know I've got in laws Mountain View Orchards and Jamison, Alabama,
best strawberries anywhere, just strawberries whatever.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
Of course, Harold say, hey, let's make a run.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
Let me tell you, before I ever knew, before, before
your son and their daughter ever met, I was, I was.
You were all in, all in, you all in. I
don't think I want to get a sandwich out that
little trailer. Oh gosh, right, but they're strawberries. I mean,
we just woulden strawberries come in, we go, we're going
to where we're going.

Speaker 8 (45:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
Yeah, man, they're good. It's so good. Beaches are fantastic too,
so good.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
Okay, I'm really hungry right now.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
I'm starting.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
I wonder what the box?

Speaker 1 (45:33):
Oh I love this idea for my new Handy content
on the YouTube channel. Call it Handy Griffith instead of
Andy Griffith.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
That's what you're thinking.

Speaker 1 (45:42):
That'll be my new character. Your name's not Handy Griffith.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
But you're not a griff.

Speaker 4 (45:45):
Your name's not handy either. Yeah, and you're not well, yeah,
you're not handed and you're actually not handy.

Speaker 9 (45:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (45:49):

Speaker 1 (45:58):
Our daily podcast. I mean, we do have Strange Encounters,
new episode coming out this weekend, by the way, and
we do have you know, Rick and Buba's greatest hits
in Radio Gold. But you know, every day there's a
podcast of this actual show. So, and this is how
a lot of you get the show every day, our
pickup parts you missed. Be sure you're following that where
you get podcasts, you'll get alert every day when the

(46:20):
when the best of our or the full podcast is
available to you. Also another option is the YouTube channel.
You can see it every day there as well. Okay,
so Speedy was telling us something in the break now, caution, caution,
this is going to this is going to mean it's
a little creepy. Yeah it is.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
And apparently this technology isn't being a strange encounter brand new,
but it's new to us because a family member was
checking out at a grocery store and they said that
he could just present his palm and.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Pay palm e a l M palm like, the palm
of my palm of your hand? Am I paying?

Speaker 2 (47:01):
He said, excuse me? She said, yeah, you can just
present your your palm and pay. No card, no, no,
you know, you don't have to have your phone. Just
present your your palm. And and he's like what And
it's I guess from Amazon One. They're using this and
you you can you can link your palm, I guess,

(47:22):
like you have your face recognition, you can do that
with your with your palm and and connect that to
your Amazon account and simply pay with hovering your palm
over the Amazon One device at checkout. And they have
these at some of the checkout counters. As you leave,
you just you just hover your palm your hand over.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
Amazon want to release the end times people. Oh okay,
I couldn't get cost again.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
I couldn't get called quick enough. They're like, Dad, you're
not going to believe what just happened to me. I'm
like what. They're like, I had not.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
Heard of this.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
Now looking into it, it looks like this has been
around for a little bit. I think back in twenty
twenty three, I see an article here. Now you can
pay with the palm of your hand and whole foods
grocery is the one that I think started the technology
with Amazon One. So, looking a little bit more into it,
you can actually link your palm of your hand with
your Amazon Prime account and so then everything.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
I just want to be sure out here this right.
You're telling me that I can buy goods and get
goods by something involving my palm. Yes, that's awful. Close
to your wrist, isn't it it? Sure is it? Sure is?
You can just put your forehead on it. There you go.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
You simply hover your palm over the Amazon One device
at the checkout lane. The device will then scan the
palm of your hand and verify your identity, applying any
Apple discounts or whatever, and then as well process your payment.
And he declined.

Speaker 1 (48:57):
He said, no, I'm just gonna pay, but I'm not
going to set that up today.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
I think I'm just gonna pay my car. But you
can go in with you if you're an Amazon Prime
member and have an account, you can actually go in
and scan your palm.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
Well, I think it's it goes and have it linked
to your account. Yeah, it goes back to what we're saying.
Do I think this is the mark of the beast
will know because we're not all required to get it
or we can't have anything right, But what you can
see kind of what we said in the last episode
of Strange Encounters and have said for years, you know,
even dealing with alien sightings and people from other planets,

(49:33):
if you're just paying attention. And of course now some
of you don't have a Biblical war review and that
that's fine, but those of us who do, and I
do understand that if you already believe something, then you
start making everything fit that I understand that too. But
common sense would tell you the things that we are
told to look for and will be happening. You know,

(49:53):
in the future of the world. You can see where
the the the environment is being set up where those
things wouldn't really seem that abnormal. Right, you know, if
all of a sudden I've been paying with the palm
of my hand and all of a sudden I start hearing. Now,
you know, if you take this certain mark and put
it on your forehead, your wrist, whatever the case may be,

(50:15):
and you scan it, then you can have goods and
then you could see that one day you would go,
is that the only way I can get buy and sell.
That's the only way. Oh, you can see how that
you know, yeah, you know this isn't it. But you
can see the environments being set up where that wouldn't be.
Like we've said with aliens, where'd everybody go, Well, they

(50:37):
were abducted by aliens? One world government? Never well what
if we were fighting another planet and we all need
to join together? You know? Yeah, the environment being set up,
it's not the actual genuine article, but the environment for
that future. You can see it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
And now Amazon, you know they own whole Foods. I
think in twenty seventeen they heard them for like thirteen
point seven billion, and so I'm sure they're running tests
on different things through them. But even at the Dallas
Fort Worth Airport, I told you that when I was
checking out ID it wasn't a palm thing, but they said, hey,

(51:14):
we've already scanned your your stuff.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
I know there's no.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
Reason for you to do anything. I'm like what And
I stood there for a while. It kind of too
blocked me. I'm like, huh, I leave, you know, But
well Amazon, on that little quick mark inside the.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
Yeah, I haven't done all the TSA pre He's got
the mark of the beat, Yeah I did. I haven't
had all the TSA pre check stuff because you know, yeah,
my hardest step is the first step, give it, doing
all the housle of getting it. Once you got it,
it's great, but I did kind of It's not as
good as that. But I do the clear because that
was easier to do. You know. And when you're a
clear person, Well, how do they clear to the plane

(51:50):
with your eyes? Yeah? You know, you come up there
and you look in there and it goes You're good.

Speaker 9 (51:55):
Go.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
So you know, all of this is just setting the environment.
You know that one day that wouldn't be all that weird. Yeah,
now it's a pretty big deal when they say it's
this or nothing. Yeah, you know, and and I don't
know you know the times or when that's gonna happen.
I'm just saying, you're closer to it today than you
ever you've ever been.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
Yeah, you know, it just it just freaked the family
out because even though this has been around maybe for
a year or two, Yeah, it's the first time we
had experienced as a as a family member.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
And he was like, hey, I got a little freaked out.
I'll be honest with you.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
Yep, you can hover your palm over it.

Speaker 4 (52:30):
It's a little weird.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
It's it's a little bit strange. Look, it was a
big step for those of us that are our age. Look,
let's face it, the chip was a big step for us.
The chip was a big step. The the Apple pay
was a big step. The facial id even on your
phone to wake your phone.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
Up, and you know that was weird.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
Now it's just something that we're used to setting them
by the fingerprint on your computer.

Speaker 7 (52:55):
Yeah, the face thing when it's you know, trying to
scan your face or whatever you look at, like a
say you have a monitor for kids, like a child
baby monitor that has the night vision. It is shocking
to see how often your phone is flashing infrared light
that we can't see. But if you look on a
baby monitor, your phone is constantly flashing taking pictures of

(53:18):
your face. It is shocking to see how often that
is occurring. It's not just when your phone is unlocked.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
Thanks for that. Yeah, okay, it's.

Speaker 4 (53:26):
Kind of monitoring how you are watching.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
I guess that's when I have a conversation. It's also
when it shows me how can get tickets to it?
If you if you see it what just happened?

Speaker 4 (53:35):
You see this weird?

Speaker 7 (53:37):
It looks like a normal kiosk where you would put
your credit card or whatever. Yeah, but it has this
extra little circle where you hover your hand above that,
and that is the Amazon one device that is designed
to read your palm signature.

Speaker 1 (53:51):
And so here's the thing I understand about that what
they're saying. And I can understand that we're trying to
help you all people not steal your identity. We're trying
to help people be able to get to your counts.

Speaker 9 (54:00):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (54:01):
You know you only have one palm. Nobody else can
pretend to be you. I mean, I see that. I
can see the benefits of it, and not just convenience,
just the benefits of it too.

Speaker 4 (54:10):
Hey, speedy, you can.

Speaker 7 (54:11):
You can't use the I don't have my wallet as
an excuse it.

Speaker 4 (54:14):
It's like you got your hand though. I can see you.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
Yeah, because his hands off. Hey, if you want a
two block somebody now gop and have cash. Nobody knows
what it does?

Speaker 4 (54:24):
Like, what's that.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
He's a pizza hut guy too.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
Some say that this may be part of a stunt.
Some people think it's him doing a stunt. Uh. It
says the stuff's popping up all over l A. Craig
Robinson is quitting comedy. Could be an indicator there's a brand,
a brand deal somewhere that's responsible for the news, and
they're building up hype for an upcoming ad campaign. Maybe

(54:59):
makes a lot of sense. Ants Okay, but why would
you pick him? You know, you like there being a
commercial run of him pretending to quit comedy and doing something, maybe.

Speaker 4 (55:08):
Selling peanuts for planters.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Or something something like helping Donde.

Speaker 4 (55:12):
Can we hear him say bo bye his brother record?

Speaker 1 (55:14):
Yeah? Oh yeah, sure you know what we got coming in?

Speaker 10 (55:17):
I do American idol is very old bites his brother
is coming down.

Speaker 1 (55:25):
I didn't realize coming down, all right, So somebody on
text nation and Adler, I'll go to you here. He
he does seem to have a love for music, and
he has some skill as a musician. Could him when
he says to follow my true calling? Yeah? Is it music?

(55:48):
To got a record coming out? I don't know.

Speaker 7 (55:50):
He's very good at piano, very good, legitimately very good.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
Okay, Well he could do it, not just not just adequate.
Very good piano will be funny. But maybe he wants
to be seriously.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
May He plays a piano and tells you, I.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
Think he's said stuff for something. Yeah, maybe he's changing genders,
says it Greg. He says, thanks a lot. Now you've
ruined this whole thing. Oh no, uh, he says he
he was true. But he's got some stuff that's already
in the Haypa Netflix. He's got an animated feature that's
already done called You're in Your Dreams, and then the

(56:23):
Bad Guys too. He released his version of Easy by
the Commodore. So I don't know. I feel like I'm
being pulled into an advertising campaign. But is he big
enough the star that that you would doesn't the Pizza
Hut stuff and all that. He's pretty strong, and I.

Speaker 2 (56:45):
Says here he's going to remake Mother, no other he's
backing up Mother, So moan, all.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
Right, thank you for releasing that the other crack and.

Speaker 2 (57:06):
You see how you set up?

Speaker 1 (57:07):
All right, So let's look at let's look at video
seven Adler. I was so mad, ladies passing out and
the moan when I was bawl. Right now you got me.
But anyway, uh, how many of you here fans of

(57:28):
roller coasters? We love love I'm a huge fan.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
Have you got you gotten out of this one?

Speaker 1 (57:33):
Have you got to where you can't do any more
because of you? You get? You have that? What is it?

Speaker 9 (57:39):
You know?

Speaker 1 (57:39):
You're responsible for a lot of things in my life,
you tell me, besides employment, you're responsible.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
But me and that Russian jet.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
It messed me up, but that was worth it when
great yall.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
Are still messed up and being attapped by the canoe.
There's just some things going on.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
But those were great, bitch, but they live on forever.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
Right right, I'm wondering what I'll suffer from after Larry Patch.
But but but this here, Okay, So they go off
and y'all have to describe this because this platform and
thinks that that will work. This platform like goes from
horizontal to vertical and connects with another try and the
audio is good on it, Ricky, Yeah, yeah, this is insane.

(58:20):
You're gonna have to get played by playing a new roller.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
Coaster called Siren's Curse. It's it's in Sandusky, Ohio.

Speaker 4 (58:32):
Unfortunately named town.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
Okay, yeah, at Cedar Point. Yeah, where you from?

Speaker 4 (58:38):
Sandusky?

Speaker 1 (58:41):
So they said throughout the whole ride, so Mike keeps
grabbing you. We're in all right, So there's the very
top and they're about to fall down into an upside
down question mark that that right there looks pretty scary. Yeah, Greg,
would you write it? Yes, explain it to well, I
don't know how to explain it.

Speaker 4 (58:57):
On the platform it's about to draw.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
Yes, want to bend the way of the cars. Like
Speedy said, it looks like you're dropping straight down. It
looks like you're going to go off the track. The
track you're sitting there, and then eventually, just as if
like your weight was knocking it down, it will go
down and you'll start riding on the track below and
here we go. Yeah, now here's the problem in my life.
It's not immediate. So think of the people up top

(59:21):
in the bay bag. They're sitting there waiting and waiting
and waiting, still waiting. So it gets connected, and I
guess they were a leash. You going, guys, you're going
straight down and.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
There, Thank you, thank you mother.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
That thing's got to do that, God knows how many
times a day. Yeah, you wonder how's the hook up there?
Is it gonna be solid? That connection? But I would
ride it, Oh yeah, we would. I love a roller coast.
I love a good roller coast. Okay, a good roller
coaster one like that. There's a in my opinion, there's
a difference.

Speaker 10 (59:57):
You would.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
No, I'll stand up with no shirt on them and
put my hands up.

Speaker 9 (01:00:02):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
Uh, let's go unscreened phone calls next. All ten lines
are available, America, all us, right now.

Speaker 6 (01:00:09):
This is the Rick Burgess show.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
This Epstein thing, yeah, is back now. I thought it
feels like every time somebody epsteins me, it turns out
to be a big nothing sandwich.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
But that's because they came out and said, after investigation,
he did kill himself and there was no master list.
After you know, Cash and and Bongino and all them
were like and they were all like, hey, you know
it's out there and we're going to reveal it and
all this kind of stuff. When now they're saying, after
there and thorough investigation, it's there is no list and

(01:00:55):
there and he did kill himself. And then and so everybody,
especially the Maga Wright, is screaming, wait a minute.

Speaker 7 (01:01:05):
So Glaine Gallainne Maxwell, she's in prison for trafficking no
one to no one?

Speaker 4 (01:01:13):
Is that what she's in prison for?

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
And the Alex Joneses of the world. Their angle is
that Trump actually knows the list and he's using it
for leverage to get things that he wants done. But
they're going to claim there is no list, but he
has it, right.

Speaker 4 (01:01:33):
Which I could see that happening for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:01:35):
I earned interview. Is is it cash betail? Yes, FBI yep.
And he's another one says, from what we've seen, this
was a suicide, right, but he kept going by what
we have been allowed to see. Now he I mean,
he's saying it was suicide. But my point is he
also is going I mean, from what we were allowed,
is there more that they weren't allowed to see that somebody?

(01:01:56):
You know what I'm saying. I don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:01:58):
You know, I think that this is absolutely a well
we get these benefits from releasing this, and that's kind
of just some goodwill with the public. We get these
benefits from not releasing it. Yeah, we can use it
as leverage. Yeah, I think that's what I think. As
good as what's going on, I don't have I don't
have any actual proof of.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
That, but but you would fall in line with Alec Jones.
He had judged Joe Brown on his show and uh,
and he and he said that this is I don't
He goes, I don't have any proof of this.

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
Now he's he's.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
At it, you know, but he said this is what
I think, and you know, and they don't have any
proof of that. But does he have the master list?
And that's why he's getting things done behind the scenes.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
Peter Doucey wants to ask, uh, the Press secretary the
questions we're asking. Uh, here's Doucy asking the Press secretary.
I never know how to say her last name, Levitt Leavitt,
Caroline Lovitt, Levitt. He's gonna gonna ask her. So what
happened to this list that the Attorney General said had

(01:03:00):
on our desk? Yeah, so here's the response.

Speaker 11 (01:03:04):
Okay, So the FBI looks at the circumstances surrounding the
death of Jeffrey Epstein. According to the report, this systematic
review revealed no incriminating client list. So what happened to
the Epstein client list that the Attorney General said she
had on her desk?

Speaker 12 (01:03:23):
Well, I think if you go back and look at
what the Attorney General said in that interview which was
on your network on Fox News, go ahead.

Speaker 11 (01:03:29):
And Roberts said, doj maybe releasing the list of Jeffrey
Epstein's clients. Will that really happen? And she said, it's
sitting on my desk right now to review.

Speaker 12 (01:03:38):
Yes, she was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork,
all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.
That's what the Attorney General was referring to.

Speaker 4 (01:03:47):
And I'll let her speak for that.

Speaker 12 (01:03:48):
But again, when it comes to the FBI and the
Department of Justice, they are more than committed to ensuring
that bad people are put behind bars. They have an
operation going on right now called Summer Heat, which has
our murder rate trending in the lowest direction in United
States history. Their emphasis on violent crime and locking up
violent criminals has led to the arrest of fourteen thousand

(01:04:10):
violent criminals. That's a sixty two percent increase from the
same time period last year. So this Attorney General and
the FBI director are committed to putting bad people behind
bars where they belong. That they promised an exhaustive review.

Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
That's what they did.

Speaker 12 (01:04:24):
For any further details, I would refer you to the
Department of Justice.

Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
That was not exactly the answer he was asking but
I mean, I guess she's saying, well, just because you
have it, she got to go through it. I guess
they went through it and finally.

Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
Yeah, and their angle is when she said it was
on her desk, it wasn't the names, it was their
retire file and after going through it. But you know,
Dan Bongino with his radio show and everything, there's a
lot of fans you know, of his that listen to
this show. You know, prior to him taking the job
he's taken, you know, he was like, hey, we're going

(01:04:57):
to get to the bottom of it, and now he's saying, hey,
we have and he killed himself from what we can see.
So I mean, those people are very credible when it
comes to I guess their history of of you know,
their show and and and all this kind of stuff.
I enjoyed what he did, So you go, well, I
don't know what's going on then, I mean, is if you're.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
Going by what I was shown, that doesn't mean there's
not more than can be shown. Maybe you didn't say
I know they were supposed to rise. I mean, if
you're covering something up, you're not really worried about the rules.
So I don't understand. Help me about one B and
one C.

Speaker 7 (01:05:29):
As part of this, they released I think it was
like twelve hours of footage.

Speaker 4 (01:05:34):
But if you look.

Speaker 7 (01:05:37):
At at at eleven fifty nine, it jumps straight to noon.

Speaker 4 (01:05:43):
There's a there's one minute missing from it.

Speaker 7 (01:05:45):
Yeah, from the footage from the prison footage. At one
point during during this footage, you can see you can see.

Speaker 4 (01:05:55):
Epstein like walk past.

Speaker 7 (01:05:56):
You don't have like any kind of in in the
cell footage. You don't see what happens in the cell.
But and even CNN mentioned that there was a minute missing.
If you guys wanted that discussion.

Speaker 13 (01:06:08):
Alex, I have to say, I'm with the people that
still have questions about this. I kind of don't buy
the nothing to see here, and I don't know that
the Justice Department helped their case.

Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
They released this video. Let's show it.

Speaker 13 (01:06:22):
It shows no one entered the area surrounding Epstein's cell
in the hours before he died. But there's something significant
about this videotape.

Speaker 1 (01:06:30):
What is it?

Speaker 10 (01:06:30):
Well, here's one thing that some people on the internet
are picking up on, which is that there is about
a minute missing between eleven fifty eight PM fifty eight
seconds and twelve am, the night that Epstein was apparently
killed or.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
Died within one d thirty days ago. J d Vance
says something, and everybody wants to know what's changed.

Speaker 7 (01:06:59):
I know we've had Bongino change, we'd have Cat, we've
had Cash Patel change, and I had forgotten about this
jd Vance clip as well.

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
Seriously, we need to release the fccene list. Yeah, so
so why not? Now?

Speaker 4 (01:07:15):
Look, you know, you guys, either nothing there or they're
using it for leverage. That's what I can only guess.

Speaker 1 (01:07:20):
Yeah, and this is three minutes long. You've already mentioned it.
But Judge Joe Brown said what Speedy said a minute ago,
So there's no need to.

Speaker 2 (01:07:26):
Play all that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:26):
But there are some people say, well, I have an
explanation for it for you. They have it and they're
using it for leverage, and they're not going to release
it because then they wouldn't have the leverage anymore. They're
getting things done by letting people know we got you
on this list, and if you don't want us to
release it, you got to get in line. So I
don't know if that's true or not. Then there's those

(01:07:47):
who claim Trump is on the list, right, Yeah, so
it's all over the place.

Speaker 4 (01:07:51):
Right right.

Speaker 7 (01:07:51):
That was honestly my first guess. When I saw Bongino
and Cash Patel totally change, I'm like, oh, well they're
working for up now and so they can't release the
list because Trump's on the list. That was my first guest.
But the whole leverage international leverage thing could be could
be what they're doing as well.

Speaker 4 (01:08:10):
Yeah, or there could be nothing to.

Speaker 1 (01:08:11):
It all, right man, Yeah, you don't really know who knows.
So we're just in a point now where let's be honest,
we don't take people's word for anything anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
Or during the one minute, it could show Hillary dragging
him out.

Speaker 4 (01:08:21):
That's another possibility.

Speaker 1 (01:08:23):
That's funny. Speaking of mister Lucky, we come back with
a little Mister Lucky music, Ryan Greenwood wailing on the
guitar to get the hours started, and the box seats
they are full and overflowing. Let's go, so mentioning this,

(01:08:51):
you know, honestly, you know, when the email was talking
about mister Lucky, we had probably what we're about four
or five songs into a new album that we just
never never completed. So there's probably about four or five
three good originals of those five songs there really should
have been put down. We still played them, played them live.
We just never did record them. So I don't think

(01:09:13):
I'm ready to just completely give up. As a matter
of fact. Matter of fact, something may be brewing. Watch
out watch, something may be brewing. I do have a
question twenty twenty six shots. Oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
So I know, I know you played a little ball,
a little ball and a lot of times with you know,
washed up athletes. They go, hey, you think you got
another series? And could you go do you think you
have another set in you with with lyrically, with your voice?

Speaker 14 (01:09:41):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:09:41):
I had to be strategic on what songs we picked,
being a former rocker in it. Yeah, but I'm not
gonna get up and do forty songs like six back
in the day Probive probably five to seven somewhere in there.
Five to seven I said. I said five to seven,
which means five. I think I think I can do five.

(01:10:02):
Can you slap the base for five? No? Okay, you
can't remember five songs. You can't originals? Now know what
you can't? You don't remember the original songs? Not really?
Good night?

Speaker 4 (01:10:15):
These are rock class twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:10:16):
Years the rock rib twenty years? Did you bang on
the drums addler for five Yeah, over twenty years? Have
you always horse head?

Speaker 9 (01:10:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:10:26):
Have you always wanted to take if you always want
to take a seat back there on the kit. Yes,
you gotta get Ryan back. Yeah, tough. He's he's a
pretty busy man. He's coach you softball in Louiver, Kentucky.
But that you know where things have happened. I'm just
telling you just everybody just just hanging in there, bird
just brewing something. Birds. Did you see these last concert?

(01:10:48):
Just him sitting in the chair's pictur that? Oh I
don't think I'll see the footage of that. Terrible, terribly terrible.
Can your scream? Stand up and shout by while sitting
I just did, please, please, reg you do the songs?
Sing again?

Speaker 6 (01:11:06):
Chair and.

Speaker 5 (01:11:10):
Come over behind it?

Speaker 2 (01:11:11):
Okay, am I pushing you around?

Speaker 1 (01:11:13):
Just push me this way like I'm coming on the stage. Okay,
st shine, we'll get you with that chair. I need
something like that. No, you know, I could I could
even spend your round, Rick, I wouldn't do no way
would I go out and do like a full Hey
we're doing a two hour concert thing now. But but

(01:11:35):
something maybe three and then maybe come back part of
something part of an overall presentation, you know, just like
a maybe part of an evening, not the entire evening,
just just singing there, birds brewing something.

Speaker 6 (01:11:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:11:51):
I kept watching those clips though.

Speaker 7 (01:11:53):
From that supposed last final Black Sabbath back to the
beginning concert, there were some cool cameos. Steven Tyler came
back out on stage for the first time in a
long time.

Speaker 4 (01:12:06):
Uh, he did a couple couple of songs. You guys
care about.

Speaker 1 (01:12:10):
That, Well, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that Steven Tyler has
gone the place where it's now sad.

Speaker 4 (01:12:17):
Ossie was sad Steven ty Steven Tyler looked great.

Speaker 1 (01:12:20):
Next time he sing though, because the whole reason that.

Speaker 7 (01:12:24):
I think he did one song, he did a whole
lot of love with Ozzie Well, no, this was kind
of leading up to They.

Speaker 1 (01:12:33):
Would play their songs in his song.

Speaker 4 (01:12:34):
They had real bands like Metallica and BEARR.

Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
Smith. It didn't do right.

Speaker 7 (01:12:40):
Zeppelin did, no, you could do they did. They had Okay,
so they had real full bands out there like Metallica, Tool,
a whole bunch of Gojira was there, and then they
had they had supergroups. They had Super Group one and two,
and I think this was Super Group two. And uh,
this is Stephen Tyler seeing Hollow.

Speaker 4 (01:13:03):
A lot of a lot of reverbs.

Speaker 9 (01:13:14):
There.

Speaker 1 (01:13:14):
It is right.

Speaker 4 (01:13:15):
I thought that wasn't that was I mean, it wasn't terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:13:19):
I think he looks great for his age.

Speaker 4 (01:13:20):
And he's up seventy seven.

Speaker 1 (01:13:22):
Guys, come on, in seventy seven. He swung for the
Vince he did. You got to give him that. Yeah,
you got to give him that. You know, think of
our three days. But he took it. So golly, Whenever
I see an old rocker like that, I pictured my
dad up there.

Speaker 2 (01:13:40):
Yeah he's eighty four now, but I mean some of
these people.

Speaker 1 (01:13:43):
Seven eighty yeah, think about it. A couple of things,
A couple of things to mention. I've already been watching
my mom, my mom make a background thing. That's what
you got. We we will Frankie Valley out there at
ninety one. Yeah, we did, like a puppet said. He
wasn't exactly singing Zeppelin. But still, no, he had he
had more faults otter than I expected. I was a

(01:14:05):
little shocked. There's got to be they've done something to him.

Speaker 7 (01:14:09):
The black Sabbath drummer short have left his shirt on,
that's for sure, But you're way too well why did
he looks like a troll person that?

Speaker 1 (01:14:17):
Yeah, I don't have anything to do with black Sabbath
because I'm you know, I want to go to heaven, right.
But but but one of the things that I didn't
know you like Sabbath, bloody Sabbath.

Speaker 5 (01:14:25):
I do not.

Speaker 4 (01:14:26):
No, No, I don't either.

Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
Yeah. When I when I look at this is you know,
obviously I recognized that in rock circles, they're they're iconic.
I got that, and I thought that of all the
things that are available and all the graphic designers that
are out there and the incredible things people can do,
I thought their backdrop was a little bland, the back
to the beginning, and this was like somebody typed it

(01:14:49):
didn't list. It didn't like much of an effort. You know.
It's like, but I in a chair and somebody types
up on the screen. Let's get this over with. We
didn't think about the background. Let's just put Did you
feel like that that look kind of that's that's not
much to that, that's pretty bland. Yeah, I mean, you
got all those people out there and that's the only
effort you give us on the screen.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
If you could be one rock and lead singer for
one one night, who would it be. You're You're you
walk up front and you're on the mic, rich and
you got the original band behind you.

Speaker 1 (01:15:19):
Do I sing like the single? Yes, you are that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:22):
Person, but it's a little rick inside. But you you're
experiencing their talent and what it felt.

Speaker 1 (01:15:30):
Like, Oh man, and I wanted to be jam packed.
I mean, you can't feedale. Nobody in there, and it's
a stadium. It's not I want to sing better than
David Lee, but Van Halen in their prime, the excitement
and the electricity in the arena. But probably not because
he doesn't sing. I want to.

Speaker 4 (01:15:49):
It was in spite of him. It was in spite
of him.

Speaker 1 (01:15:53):
But he looked cool, but he just didn't sing very well.
I remember, I know I've said this on the show
many times. I remember not even knowing its song they
were playing, so I heard the course, I know it,
and I'm like, okay, that's that. It's so well probably
you know, uh Tom Keifer, Cinderella that that would definitely
be very inviting, but maybe at the height of it all,

(01:16:19):
you know, completely electric. I probably wouldn't. It's not as
loud and rowdy as I want to, but I wouldn't
mind being Don Henley.

Speaker 4 (01:16:28):
Sure, I don't want to be done.

Speaker 1 (01:16:30):
So you get one shot. We're going to look at
the crowd. Boy, George, Well yeah a lot of people
would think that, so maybe I don't know. Steve Perry,
I'm going with Sebastian Ball. Really really, that's your one.

Speaker 7 (01:16:48):
That's cool?

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
Only get one? Yeah, and you walk out? That joined
him in Axl Rose, not now, not now, but in Whispering. Yeah.
I want to be Paul rock yours too, but I
can't figure. You know, if bad Company, I can't remember
when being free, you wont be in Bad Cop? Which
one you want? Adler?

Speaker 4 (01:17:09):
I mean, Bob Dylan?

Speaker 1 (01:17:10):
I mean, come on, are you serious?

Speaker 9 (01:17:13):
Man?

Speaker 1 (01:17:13):
What do you do you want? He felt obligated and
went to the show that time he was in an
I said, did he sound good? Well? Not really?

Speaker 4 (01:17:23):
He sounded like a frog dying.

Speaker 1 (01:17:25):
Gosh, you don't have that, Yeah, you don't.

Speaker 7 (01:17:31):
You don't.

Speaker 1 (01:17:32):
Why why is the Fox Theater sold out? You don't
absorb it. You don't absorb their their lifestyle.

Speaker 2 (01:17:38):
It's just their talent.

Speaker 1 (01:17:39):
No, I got mercury, I'm changing mind. What wait, I'm
George straight of course, yeah, right, the vocal powerhouse. It
was just hear the word straight right after Queen. A
lot of my wife is convinced that Babylon B listens

(01:18:00):
to the show yesterday. Babylone B. Post Man's Christian love
for humanity shattered by trip to the airport. Yeah, we
experienced that. Mean, it is the worst experience. You know.
Do you remember back when this was all at one time,
traveling on an airline was considered to be something prestigious,

(01:18:21):
something wonderful. Everybody's excited, everybody's got their luggage. Here we
go to fly to where we're going. And now all
of us, if we were honest, the ride down there,
we felt like we're going to be executed. I mean
it's like we're going to go to prison. We felt
you know what it feels like if you're riding the
back of a livestock truck and you're like a bunch
of cows or pigs that are about to be unloaded,

(01:18:42):
and everybody corrals you. So this story today TSA you
might like this one. Yeah, quietly, I don't know. Why
I'd announced this with fanfare. Did you remember when we
all used to be able to wear our shoes until
some idiot put a bomb in his shoes and then
we all had to take our shoes off. Yeah, and
what a has so that is take their shoes off
at the airport. Uh, it looks like that after more

(01:19:05):
than two decades of forcing us to remove our shoes
in the security lines, the shoe remove a requirement has
been pulled, effective yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:19:15):
That's awesome because everybody's all uncomfortable, the one legged hop
with trying to get your shoe back on. Nobody's ever
after you get your your your shoe bomber. Well, now
they're saying the technology of such. When they stand stand,
they can see.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
You know why you're doing that because you never fly.
That's why you're doing that. You don't care what happens
to the rest. This guy is a good look that
looks like something blew his own feed up. What an
he's really ugly he is.

Speaker 7 (01:19:46):
And the as far as the technology, I'm sure they
can look into your shoes because they can definitely.

Speaker 4 (01:19:50):
Look at other things.

Speaker 1 (01:19:52):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 4 (01:19:53):
You ever get a glimpse, you ever get a glimpse
of that monitor.

Speaker 1 (01:19:57):
No, I'm not looking at the monitor, but they are are.
The last time I went through, that's when I had
my hip X ray. Now I wasn't ready. I know,
it was every day for that guy wasn't for me.
And I said, let's have a look at this and
went hey, yeah wow. I was like, well, hello there
and heah, of course he didn't pay attention to it.
He's over the hip. I'm like, I didn't know they here.

(01:20:19):
I didn't know that would come through.

Speaker 4 (01:20:21):
Wow, there's there.

Speaker 1 (01:20:23):
It is. I feel like maybe I am Robert Plant.

Speaker 4 (01:20:27):
Uh But anyway, now I'm glad we off.

Speaker 1 (01:20:31):
But no, the last time that I flew, you know,
which was like the other day, it was wonderful.

Speaker 6 (01:20:36):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:20:37):
But I did the shoe thing. Of course she had to,
you know, I went there was a time where some
places where shoe some weren't over the last five years
or so. And of course b Ham is shoes. Well
my my little you know cart thing, what is it?
The little thing you put in a little tub. Now
the little tub came through and only one of my

(01:20:57):
shoes was in there, and I said, where's my mother? Show?
How can you lose a shoe from when you put
it down in it rides. That's a good question. You
look down wearing and I can't. And I finally, and
I finally had to be that person that I said, hey,
missing shoe, and all of a sudden, one of the
at t s A people because I'm walking down the
back holding my shoe and gave him so Yeah, clearly
you clearly dropped it. I didn't drop my shoe. Wouldn't

(01:21:17):
have to deal with people. Those stinky shoes.

Speaker 4 (01:21:22):
Are incredibly dirty.

Speaker 1 (01:21:24):
No, no one is. No one's more thrilled. No one's
more thrilled than this than the T s A A. Yeah,
people's nasty shoes.

Speaker 4 (01:21:32):
Yeah, we stopped by the bathroom.

Speaker 7 (01:21:34):
Then we immediately put them in the bin with all
of our cell phones, and then we put the cell
phone on our faces.

Speaker 4 (01:21:41):
Let's just put her face in the toilet as well.

Speaker 1 (01:21:45):
You know, it's odd to see someone who looks so
dirty be so committed smart.

Speaker 2 (01:21:53):
Have you ever seen him flesh the urinal with his foot?

Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
Yes, it's amazing. And I find it odd because I
think even the urinal was thankful.

Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
Yeah, los his balance and fell back to the same.

Speaker 1 (01:22:04):
That's not I think when he walks in the guy's nasty. Yeah. Well,
but there you go.

Speaker 4 (01:22:13):
I told you.

Speaker 7 (01:22:17):
That you T s A is looking at Your're.

Speaker 4 (01:22:21):
Not just looking for weapons. They're checking to see if
you're packing, if you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:22:24):
All right, all right, what what do you do?

Speaker 7 (01:22:27):
I'm just saying it's been a long time. They could
have been checking our shoes a long time ago. They
just wanted to put us through all that. And there's
some sickos out there too working for T s A.

Speaker 2 (01:22:38):
If you do the pre check stuff, do you still
have to go through the detectors and all.

Speaker 1 (01:22:43):
I'm sure yes, of course you go through that. You don't.
You don't go around that.

Speaker 2 (01:22:48):
I didn't know if it was. It's just front of
the line.

Speaker 1 (01:22:50):
That's all that is.

Speaker 2 (01:22:51):
You ain't got a frown asking once every year? Maybe, yeah,
I don't do it every month. You don't even do
it once a year. Yeah, I know, we want to
Baseball's over.

Speaker 1 (01:23:02):
You don't talk down to me. Baseball is over in
hockey because that's his new thing. Yeah, he's a hockey fanboy.

Speaker 2 (01:23:09):
I just went and took my son to a game.

Speaker 1 (01:23:11):
It was I'm a bad dad. My son A next
time we're flying George Strait concert. That's right now. You yeah, yes,
you are. You know what you're gonna do since I
went to this Larry thing. Yeah, And he texted, by
the way, says, hey, you've got to take a listener
to a George straight But do you know how we

(01:23:32):
you know how we are with with logic. I also
don't understand the design of airports. When we started going
through give me your belt, give me your shoes, we
never followed that with more benches for people to sit on.
I mean, when you come, everybody needs to put their
shoes back on. Everybody, everybody, everybody needs put their belt
back on. Everybody needs to get their act together. And

(01:23:53):
you look over and there's two benches. You're like, can
you all do math at all? There's a lot of
us here. Always watch the poor guy trying to put
his shoes on without sitting down. I know he's struggling,
Blood's rushing to his head and wakes up. He just
stands up.

Speaker 2 (01:24:06):
His dizzy pants are falling down because fat belt on.

Speaker 1 (01:24:08):
Fat people are mad because they got two shoes. I mean,
I mean it's I mean, it's just terrible ones. And
I mean it's terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:24:15):
And I really messed with jay C because it had
never flown before. You know, on the trip y'all make
fun of right, And I told him he had to
keep his shoes off until he got all the way
to the gate and he starts carrying his shoes. I
just started messing with him. I loved first putt him down.

Speaker 1 (01:24:29):
I love first times. It's my favorite. You know that
thing that goes lets you know, when you're supposed to
buck your seat belt come back. The first time, I
was going to look where finals on that little bill?
Don't go off like that? And I said, yeah, just
my bell goes off that serious all of a sudden.

Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
The first time, he was doing what's that for about
ten seconds though, I told him, and he believed that
he had to. We had to actually had to lay
down like an MRI machine and go through the thing
and not your buckets.

Speaker 4 (01:24:56):
Fantastic.

Speaker 1 (01:24:56):
He's like, what, like, yeah, we used to lay down
right there, and then he just goes and you're right
through it, you know. Dear friend to so many and
to the four of us here for sure, uh and
to me personally. Throughout the years, we've got to talk

(01:25:16):
many many times and I'm speaking, of course, of Pastor
Max Locato, and Max is kind enough to join us today. Max,
I wish you and I were going to hang out
today on on much happier note. This what's happened in Texas.
I think if you no matter if you're connected or

(01:25:39):
what if you just if you just care about human beings,
just the heartache and just the overwhelming terror of all
of this. This is a place that you're very familiar
with forty years retreats, vacations, events that you've done there
along the Guadalape Loupe River. So you know this, you

(01:26:00):
very well, So this hits you in a very personal way,
know it very well.

Speaker 9 (01:26:05):
Thanks for letting me have a few minutes with you today,
and I trust that you and your team are doing well. Yeah,
the Guadalupe River and that area in the Hill Country,
it's only forty five minutes and portions of it are
only thirty minutes from where I live. And over the decades,

(01:26:25):
our family has vacationed there. We've spent weekend retreats with
our staff there. For many years, we would rick have
baptism services in the Guadalupe River in baptize hundreds of
people in that beautiful body of water. So yeah, it
really strikes home. And those people in Kerbville and Hunt

(01:26:49):
in Ingram, Wimberley, all those towns, most of them small comfort,
just the most delightful people, just wonderful salt of the
earth folk. So it's a heartbreaking situation here as we're
watching this unfold.

Speaker 1 (01:27:05):
So it was just I believe it was actually just sunday.
My wife and I were walking through, you know, a
beautiful area in the outdoors, and we went over a
very gentle and calm and beautiful looking body of water,
just like you described this river on so many days,
for so many wonderful moments, and we both just stopped

(01:27:26):
and we looked over the bridge we were standing over,
and I said, that's how innocent the water looked to
those people. And then all of a sudden, something that
looks so beautiful and such a blessing and so calm
can turn into a complete nightmare because of this falling
creation that we live in. And you know, and when
it involves children, you know, of course it tears our

(01:27:50):
hearts even more. Even though all life is precious, when
children are involved, it's a different level. So Max, I
know you had a prayer service last night on Facebook.
Thank you for always being there. I can remember, you know,
when you and I were together on Days after nine
to eleven at a prayer service and of course dealing

(01:28:11):
with children. You were kind enough to read my wife's
book about the death of our son, and that book
is a resource and we're getting those two people involved
to you know, we have people even from where we live,
who lost a child during that she was there for
a camp. So so talk to right now. This is
one of those moments. You know, we've been here. This

(01:28:33):
is in the first time, won't be the last. Sadly
I look forward to when it's the last time, but
it's not yet. Yes, when people say, all right, where
is God in all this? I mean, he certainly could
have stopped this, and so creation seemed to roar against everybody,
not just the wicked. We're actually studying the Book of
Job on the Wednesday ball study right now and tomorrow

(01:28:54):
and tomorrow. You know, Job actually says to his friends,
I think our theology is flawed. It looks like that
bad things seem to happen to good and bad people.
So so just just take that because it is on
people's mind. I know that you and I may go
we might understand it. Maybe we're you know, some people

(01:29:14):
aren't familiar with that. God's never been silent on this,
But that doesn't make it any easier. Just kind of
walk everybody through that for a minute.

Speaker 9 (01:29:23):
Well, the Book of Job, as you mentioned there, Rick,
is what we perceive to be the most ancient of
the books in the Bible as far as when it
was written. And it asks this the most ancient of questions,
and that is why do bad things happen to good people?
And the answer that Job discovers is number one, there

(01:29:47):
are no good people, right, We're all sinners, and but
are These are not the sufferings that Job is talking
about that you've gone through, are not the consequence of
personal sin, They're not punishment. They're simply consequences of living
in a fallen and decaying world. The Bible says that

(01:30:09):
the whole creation is crying out, it's groaning because even
creation knows that this is not how it was intended
to be. Ultimately, God's answer for human suffering is heaven.
It just comes down to that. The apostle Paul said
that these brief and momentary troubles are not worth comparing

(01:30:32):
with the glory that far outweighs them all. I would
never say, Rick, what you and your family went through
was brief and momentary, or what they're going through in
Guadalupe is brief and momentary. It feels just the opposite.
But I think what the Apostle was saying there is
when you compare that with the eternal glory that awaits

(01:30:53):
us even the most severe challenges. When we get home,
we will look back and see that they were brief
and momentary by comparison, by comparison. So I do just
want to add, when we're processing this, go ahead and complain.

(01:31:14):
Job complained, he did. It's okay. We call that lament.
We lament to God. But then also confess your convictions.
This is because the devil's listening, and you can tell
God that I still love you, I still believe in you,
so the devil will know whose side you're on, and
then offer specific prayers.

Speaker 1 (01:31:36):
Just go down the list.

Speaker 9 (01:31:38):
I've got a long list of things about which I'm praying,
you know, the first responders, praying maybe for still a
survivor that's hard to believe, Praying for all the bodies
to be rescued, offer specific prayers. And I think that
if we acknowledge our pain, if we declare our conviction,
offer specific prayers, that's that's the therapy that we need

(01:32:01):
to help us get through tough times.

Speaker 1 (01:32:03):
Ay Man, I think about Peter right now, you know,
for first Peter Chapter one, six and seven, where Peter
is saying, let me go ahead and let you know.
You know that you know, if it's necessary, God may
take you through grievous trials. So like you said, for
a little while, if necessary, But this is all a
testing of the genuine genuineness of your faith. You know,

(01:32:26):
may may when it's refined by fire, unlike gold that perishes,
that that the faith would actually result in the glorification
of Jesus. And and I think you know, as C. S.
Lewis told us all you know, pain and sufferings, God's
megaphone for a sleeping world. So the people who don't
don't share our faith, they're really watching us right now

(01:32:47):
to see if there's anything in anguish that looks different
than their anguish. And you know there's many times my
pastor told Sherry and all this and said, you know,
there are things that will be accomplished through this. They
weren't going to be accomplished any other way, doubt. And
I think that this is a time for those who

(01:33:08):
are followers of Jesus to show that they have a
hope that transcends all understanding.

Speaker 9 (01:33:16):
And it's wonderful to see the way the way Christians
are responding. Rick here in the in South and.

Speaker 1 (01:33:23):
Central Texas tell us about that.

Speaker 9 (01:33:24):
I know our church, we're training up a group of
people to muck houses. To be honest, I didn't even
know what that meant a couple of days ago. Sure,
and we're partnering with Samaritans Purse and they're sending some
muck kits and a muck trainer, and we've got several
people right now going through you know, how to go

(01:33:46):
into a house that's been devastated and just clean out
all the mud and the soot and all the who
knows what comes when a river overflows. There's more than
four hundred people right now walking up and on the
banks of the Guadalupe River. My assistant, who had no
business volunteering for this, she's seventy eight years old, volunteered

(01:34:11):
Sunday afternoon and walked up and down the banks of
the Guadalupe and was actually part of the retrieval of
someone who had perished. And so people are responding, Rick,
and it is a beautiful thing to see.

Speaker 1 (01:34:25):
The way people are responding.

Speaker 9 (01:34:28):
But it is also a time, like you said, for
us to hold on to our convictions, grip the things
about God that we know will never change. We believe
that God is too kind to be cruel, he's too
strong to be silent, and when we cannot trace his hands,
we just trust his heart. And we know that someday

(01:34:50):
we will understand why these things had to happen. But
until then, we ask God, use these tragedies to glorify
your name and to strengthen your people.

Speaker 1 (01:35:00):
Amen, Maxalcato, thank you so much, and uh no, thank you,
my friend. Our hearts, sir, are with you and all
of you in this area and they're they're very fortunate
to have you, and I know that all you are
is a reflection of the God that loves them. But
thank you for being obedient, Max, You sir all the
very best. Thank you, Max Lcato.

Speaker 8 (01:35:27):
Good morning, tell us how are y'all?

Speaker 1 (01:35:28):
We're good?

Speaker 14 (01:35:30):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:35:31):
Earlier when y'all were talking about who you could be
as far as the lad singer of a group.

Speaker 5 (01:35:36):
Rick, I'm surprised that.

Speaker 1 (01:35:37):
You didn't say Brian Wilson of the baseball Yeah, he
loves them. You know, I would like to have his talent,
not his music.

Speaker 6 (01:35:45):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (01:35:46):
I think I could have made better music with his talent. Uh.
There it is. I said it. Yeah, thank you for that, sir.
Uh you know, and there was a there was a
sight of me that wanted to be possibly Bob Seger
back by the Simer Bullets sary too. That's uh. We continue,
Rick Burgess show, unscreen phone calls, go ahead, Yeah, I
voted for Trump. I voted for him again if I could,

(01:36:08):
but won't be able to.

Speaker 8 (01:36:09):
But Epstein has a list of Trump's on it.

Speaker 1 (01:36:11):
He just uses power for leverage. Okay, so he's on
it and he's using investigator. You're had investigative reporter Billy
Joe from children. Uh, Trump was on it.

Speaker 2 (01:36:25):
Do you think Biden would have not released it?

Speaker 1 (01:36:28):
It seems like it. I mean, I don't know, certainly
seems like that, that's plausible. Who knows. I just said
he voted for me and wouldn't do it again.

Speaker 4 (01:36:37):
I found that minute, that missing minute, of footage you did.

Speaker 1 (01:36:41):
Yes, here it is there, you go there it is. Hey,
I even thought I thought you might have played the nationally.
They couldn't see it was Hillary Henry Clinton in a
blue aunt suit opening up his jail cell. Right. Uh,

(01:37:03):
that's funny. Rick Birders showing string phone calls.

Speaker 5 (01:37:06):
Go ahead, Hey, uh this is Wendy. I know you
didn't realize how much the man don't walk in the rain,
how much of an impact that would have just that phrase.
But one time I heard Burt Reynolds say that you're
not a man into your dad tells you you're a man.
So that carried a lot of weight. I thought, I

(01:37:27):
have one thing for Greg. Uh, y'all are talking about
a couple of weeks ago. It's who you could beat
and whatever. He's got the old man shuff Unless he
gets the first punch in, he's gonna beat nobody.

Speaker 1 (01:37:42):
She said, you got an old man.

Speaker 5 (01:37:43):
Shovel when he comes back from the break.

Speaker 1 (01:37:45):
When you come yeah, yeah, I'm concerning my energy.

Speaker 5 (01:37:51):
The uh summer I turned pretty is about and start Greg.

Speaker 1 (01:37:54):
Looking for I can't what is the summer? He granted,
talking smack old man.

Speaker 14 (01:38:11):
That old man ain't nobody put him up, Wiggins, but
the know the what I do to her.

Speaker 1 (01:38:21):
I don't know. She's your straight fan, no doubt. But
you know what I've noticed that she is part of
a trend happened uh Sunday too, is that a lot
of women are reading the book. Men don't running around
and then there is benefit there. But it was a
little bit. It was a negative effect on her. Well,
I don't know if they get tough. Ugh, she thinks
you ain't tough enough. We continue Rick Burder's show unscreened

(01:38:45):
phone calls.

Speaker 8 (01:38:45):
Go ahead, Hey, fellas, I know this is really no
different than produce speed shipped into the grocery store and
me buying it there. But it just seems wrong when
I go to an homish house to buy some produce
in a lad buying four cases to sell the market
in town and the price is jacked way up. But

(01:39:06):
it just seems wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:39:08):
Well, you know, did the Homish get what they wanted
out of it? Though? You know, as long it's long,
it's it's it's you know to me, if it's if
it's priced too high, people won't buy it. Uh. You know,
it's really only as valuable as people are willing to pay.
But I see your point. But you're right, there is
no difference in that. And you almost have to look
at the homage person as the farmer. They bought it
from him at wholesale and they went out and sold

(01:39:29):
at retail. Yeah yeah, so but I but I understand
what you're saying. Does that bother you at as you'd
rather get it from the homage, would you? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:39:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:39:39):
What man? Well he set it? Upset him? I mean
what I mean, it's not a great person. Why well,
I mean, why not? What's going around your elbow to
get you a butt? What's the difference? And somebody goes
out to the car auction they buy used cars and
they put them on a lot and they sell them
for a profit. And that's nice, little different. How's that different?

(01:40:01):
How's that difference?

Speaker 4 (01:40:03):
Nobody's dropping from the stealing.

Speaker 1 (01:40:05):
