the UNA Marching Pride. Yeah so, mart y'all. And as
a matter of fact, speaking of that tomorrow, my daughter
in law Priscilla is helping coordinate. Uh, if you can
believe it, she is doing some of the choreography for

(02:18):
a tribute to the chorus line, which will also be
in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. Is the UNA bangal being it? Uh,
they are gonna be in it. Particularly they will not, Greg,
they will not. They're just doing their own thing. I
don't know who does what. I was trying to tell something.

Speaker 6 (02:32):
I don't watch what she was doing for Macy's Thanksgiving
Day parade, and I had it all wrong. At one
point I had her doing something with the rock heads.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Well you know what you're because I have listened. Well
you're close, you're close because I was talking to her
too some choreographs. So apparently it's something. And Greg, you
know this because you're a officiado when it comes to
you know, the Broadway and all, I love it. Uh.
So it start singing in the middle of it. Yeah. Law,
the chorus line has been around forever. Oh yeah, it

(03:02):
goes all the way, of course it is. Uh. So
apparently they're going to have this gigantic tribute to the
course line with multiple dancers and all that. So she's
helping with the choreography with that. So so that when
I stop in the street and acting out, yah, of
course that means you know, yeah, and you know, it's
one of those things where you go, you're you're you're

(03:22):
happy for your daughter in law, you're proud of it,
but then you realize you're not going to see your
son or her for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 6 (03:28):
Yeah, right, working, working, but you can watch makes the
Thanksgiving day, pray and go look there she is.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
There's her work.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
Her work is right there.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Right, that's it. Now. Yeah, are you going to take
it since you know you can watch it when you
get back. Yeah, I don't know what time it comes on. Huh,
you can when you get.

Speaker 6 (03:47):
I'm hoping that when we get to john Att and
Riggs and Sturges, Mississippi. I'm driving from Huntsville to Sturgi's, Mississippi.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
When you go into Huntsville today, spend the night there. Yeah,
well you gotta get his old check. And then he's going,
what old check, my old check?

Speaker 4 (04:04):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Love how you say, oh yeah, don't you ever change it?
At least I do the th thing right, Well, you
do have that.

Speaker 6 (04:14):
So yeah, in the past I would go up and
grab my parents and come back down to Birmingham. They
would spend the night, and then the next morning we
would wake up. That's the day before, and the next
morning we'd wake up and just drive over to Sturgis
about two and a half hour, two hour fifteen minute
drive easy, and then spend Thanksgiving there and all that

(04:35):
kind of stuff. Well, my aunt h well, my aunt
Lee passed away, and cousin Lisa now lives with my
mom and dad. Adult special needs that's you know, at
home dependent, and you know and understood all that. That
that adds another dynamic. And so we I was talking
to my parents and we were talking. It's just so

(04:58):
many moving parts, and I said, hey, wait a minute,
wait a minute, we're all going to the same place,
you know, all all my boys and Tyler maybe that
and and Terry, they're all going over to Sturgis and
and all this. Why don't I just come up, spend
the night, wake up that next morning, and drive over.
That cuts out an entire half a day, entire step

(05:19):
and my and my mom was thrilled.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
She's like, are you serious? And I was like, yeah,
I mean so.

Speaker 6 (05:24):
So I'm you'll go over and spend some time with
them and.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Check the house.

Speaker 6 (05:29):
I need to get get check the house, and and uh,
you know, it rained so much, I don't know if
I'll be able to move one way with a blower
or not. But we'll do a little work and wake up,
you know, silly early, and and then head out that way.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
You at you at the wheel and make me at
the wheel with the other two, the other three I
should say.

Speaker 6 (05:48):
You know you won't sleep well. Uh no, that's that's
gonna be restless. Not yeah it is, that's all right. Yeah,
And I will declare because it is a three and
a half hour trip. That's the only downside because you
got to go like almost like from from Huntsville through Russellvill,
uh and then down Mississippi.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
You know. Uh, and I've read that road.

Speaker 6 (06:13):
So Dad just send me a text instead of tell
Rick I'm ready.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
I'm ready.

Speaker 6 (06:20):
Yeah, Well, but I'm a declared I want every hour
we're stopping, he's about them because we can't do nothing quick.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
You understand what I'm saying. It can't be I gotta go. Yeah,
everything's hard. Can't happen of mine? Is that in your mind?
It's gonna take forever to get there because we're gonna stop.
But that's okay, So you've got to know it ahead
of time. Can I just say this and I don't
know this. I just want to be frank, Okay. Sometimes
my friend just comes across his harshness and I don't
mean it. I just want to be sure I have
this right. You are traveling three and a half hours

(06:49):
to Thanksgiving, yep, with aging parents, one is blind and
the special needs needs aunt.

We got you, well right, we'll ride with.

Speaker 8 (10:46):
You, We'll ride with you, We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, form you and give
you a Bible study and all that. You know, there's
some funny moments.

Speaker 6 (11:01):
Oh yeah, some lighthearted moments last week dealing with some
of the guys that were coming to the Bible Study
and didn't get worse yet whatever happened on that, because
well I did meet a nice I.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Think our median age for inside the studio, our medium
age is seventy four. Yeah, what about Yeah? So it
was tough that was knocking on the door, and we
determined he was actually knocking on the letder that had
left that said the Bible Study, and he's actually knocking
on it when to come in. Did y'all ever say
to him, sir, you're literally knocking on the note that

(11:35):
tells you.

Speaker 10 (11:35):
This time had the interaction, I kind of messed with him.
I was like, here, let me close this door on
you so you can see the note. I was kind
of like trying to be funny. He didn't get it,
so it made it even.

Speaker 6 (11:46):
Worse, right, Yeah, and we we had handling. Well, I
do not hold back to not hold back now we can,
you can't. I don't know we can. On that one,
there was enough. I guess something separate. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
something separate.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
I knew it.

Speaker 6 (12:05):
From what we're discussing is I met a great guy
that drove up from Montgomery with his aging father that
we're getting out of the car and uh, he said, hey,
is the Bible study counsel And I said, yes, sir,
I said, please tell me y'all are in town for
something else, and he did. He said they were doing
other things with family and stuff. So we but we
got the word out. But you're right those I said, Well,

(12:27):
we tried to announce as much we could and get
it out on social media and stuff and hit it
as we can. But you know, you still you still
have maybe ten to twelve that missed it, you know,
and just have to be told person.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
That's the problem is I don't have like a group text,
and I probably should, by the way, a group text
of everybody that is here on you, because there's some
people that do not miss Yeah, I'm right, they're in here,
they're going to be here every week.

Speaker 6 (12:54):
Now you could have a sign up of hey, write
your number down and Bill you start, you start building
that though you gotta be careful.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
And of course last week, you know, we didn't have
We didn't plan to miss it, correct.

Speaker 8 (13:05):
So we didn't know it was.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
We weren't having it till there was like one hour
left in the show and so that was almost impossible
to get the word out then.

Speaker 8 (13:14):
So you know it. We do the best we can
with it.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
And I knew Don wasn't coming, or I would have
waited for him at least get the peanuts where you
last I knew it. Greg, he is literally in California.
We talked about it, and if it's a regular day,
I would have waited on him. He said, Hey, Don
got bad news this when I have the Bible stuff.
But I'll go ahead and take those.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
You know about Don not because you care. You know
about what he's doing because of the peanuts.

Speaker 10 (13:40):
You know what he's up to because of the peanuts,
because you care about his life.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
That's a side project. How about this his hi? How
about his son needs to be thankful for peanuts? Yes,
Greg wouldn't care about It's not true, right, I'm just saying,
if he had come all the way out here toting peanuts,
I wouldn't let him go back to drug them back.
You know what you just said, no Bibles to the day.
But I'm taking ba extra dog, So I will say this,

(14:07):
looking back over the decade that we've been doing the
Wednesday Bible Study, our record is pretty dark. One good.
I think our winning I think our winning percentage is
in the nineties. Oh. Absolutely, We don't hardly ever miss one.

Speaker 8 (14:19):
Yeah, you're correct.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
So, but sometimes it happens.

Speaker 10 (14:22):
And if you're talking straight up, not you're not counting
like show vacation time.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
You're just talking like unexpected.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
It may be one or two, not many, you know,
not men.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
I don't think it's happened.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
From text nation effect from from text Nation out of
South Carolina. Hey birds, will there'll be a new Strange
Encounters this week? There will not.

Speaker 8 (14:47):
We our intention was to cut that last week.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
He's doing it because we normally cut those on Thursdays,
because we really can on Wednesdays because of the Bible Study.
Uh so, Uh, the world's collided on that one. So no,
there's not a new one. Uh the next new episode,
Lord willing will be next week, but I'm saying you
can go catch up on any of you missed and
if you've caught them all, then yeah, you won't hav

(15:10):
an you in this week. So so that that's it.

Speaker 11 (15:13):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
And then those of you that have already picked up
the new CD, are you ready? But buddy, you're gonna
you're gonna pop that baby. If your vehicle still has
a CD player, you're gonna pop that baby in, uh
and have that on the road. Yeah, coming up to
getting good feedback on that, and people already which I
love seeing this already saying I'm they're volunteering cuts that

(15:34):
need to be on next year. Yeah, okay, Yeah, we
had well and the good news. I like that because
that shows that you know, in this face that it
can happen. It shows that the last part of the
year we did not start phoning and in no, that's true.
We're gonna keep climbing, you know, because we have to
send the CD in before the year's over. Yeah, And
so there's a couple of months left in the year

(15:55):
and there's people already saying, well, after you'all turn this
year's in. There's been mighty moments that need to be
on next year, and that's good. That shows that we
haven't phoned it in.

Speaker 6 (16:03):
Yeah, and you know that we've always done that and
and but it's funny because you go to the next
year and you're you're compiling everything and then you look
back to the fall and what we saved.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
And you're like, oh wow that was Oh wow, that's
got to be on it, you know. Yeah, people don't
know the difference, right put it on there. So so
there you go. So that you should have plenty to
enjoy from this show as you travel wherever you're going.

Speaker 10 (16:30):
And and Speedy's going to do strange encounters, go some
girlfriends past.

Speaker 5 (16:38):
Why would you? I thought I thought we were working
I thought we were workplace best friends.

Speaker 4 (16:51):
I'm sorry for the short joke last week.

Speaker 7 (16:54):

We do have some other things Toscus discuss. I want

(19:06):
to ask you guys something. And I even saw Span
playing around with this. I've had people even ask about
could we research this for strange encounters? But the more
I've even looked at it, I'm like, I don't. I
don't really so I think all of us, Adler's are
well his, We're almost caught here on this one. Adler's
kids are too young. Our kids are all adults, so

(19:29):
we've missed it. But are y'all familiar with this six
seven thing?

Speaker 12 (19:33):
No?

Speaker 4 (19:34):
The kids seven six?

Speaker 8 (19:36):
If the kids do and they do this with it.

Speaker 10 (19:39):
It's all over the place. I don't get NFL players
are doing it in the cell for touchdown celib.

Speaker 8 (19:45):
Does mean, Well, that's a good question, Greg.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Six seven.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
It's it doesn't mean anything.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Right, That has to mean I mean, where does this
come from? Well? They some people say people, some people
say it came from a rap song. I would have
missed that, Yeah, I would have missed that said six seven.
It's it's nonsensical internet slang. It has no fixed meaning,

(20:11):
has no meaning. Uh. Some some are saying it just
means so so or maybe or maybe this maybe maybe
that they they do think they do think it was that.
There was a song from Greg one of your favorite
favorite artists, Scrilla, that stated he never assigned an actual

(20:32):
meaning to the phrase that it's vagueness helped fuelic success.
It was used for LaMelo Ball, who is six foot
seven inches tall in the NBA. And now kids, like
teachers are talking about the kids in the class. They
just do it all the time. Six and six. Even
Bley Gadler was doing uh huh and uh and and
people are asking me, is there some sort of is

(20:53):
this does this have any like dark? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (20:57):
And I'm like, I think it's just kids being being goofy.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
So we got this trend, we got this trending going,
and nobody knows what I just say two numbers and
nobody knows what to make a hand yesture.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
Right.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yeah, it's everywhere, guys, It's everywhere.

Speaker 10 (21:09):
The kids just It's like if they don't know what
to say, they don't have anything to say, they'll just
go six seven six seven.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
And if I'm watch it, I'm seriously you'll get It's
everywhere at now. That's all it takes. That's what we
entertain our stuff when they do this. Hey, why are
you doing that? I have no idea. Everybody just does everybody?
Do you see where I'm going here? That's what That's
what we've come to.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
It's idiocracy.

Speaker 7 (21:33):
I'm doing this.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
What good? What's that mean? I don't know. I'm just
doing it because everybody else does it.

Speaker 10 (21:36):
Ruby's in kindergarten and all the first through fifth graders
at the school are doing it.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
So now she's doing it everywhere.

Speaker 8 (21:42):
Yeah, I thought yours might be young enough to miss it,
but no, no.

Speaker 4 (21:46):
No, no, no, and y'all it's everywhere.

Speaker 10 (21:48):
In fact, I don't get it. We were watching, Uh
it was Auburn. Auburn scored sixty seven points, and so
all the kids in the arena are waiting for it
to get to sixty seven, and so this girl gets
a free throw. It's sixty seven, and so all the
kids in the arena are going six seven six seven,
there's Ruby does Ruby does cheer. One of the cheers is,

(22:11):
come on, guys, we want to score something like that.
We want six seven more. You see what I'm saying.
So like they're putting it in everything. It's just this
weird viral trend here. And now they're adding something to it.
They go six seven, nine to eleven, and I.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Go, did you just say nine eleven? Why did you
say nine to eleven?

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Officially mad?

Speaker 4 (22:29):
Now she doesn't know what nine eleven is?

Speaker 1 (22:32):
What's going on? So the text No, it's it's perfect
because it means nothing. Nobody knows why they're doing it.
It just shows you will follow and we'll do anything
like a bunch of stupid sheep.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
I've got a good example. You remember guess what? Guess
what chicken butt? You remember that? Yeah, you don't remember
guess what chicken?

Speaker 1 (22:56):
I guess what pops? I'm but I've never heard.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
It doesn't make sense, but this is funny, and it
just it's just these things happen.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
No, the people that I know when people are texting
right now, if you teach middle school right now, they
are literally somebody don't text right now.

Speaker 8 (23:12):
I'm a middle school teacher. This is a living hell.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
The six seventh thing is the and it's like they're
not going to just do it every now and then,
and they don't know why they're doing it, and then
some people aren't asking it. Rick, is there's some sort
of darkness to this, not that I've been able to
find out. I don't know enough about it. They need
to suspend everybody. Is this some sort of you know,
should we be concerned about it? Because it really is

(23:36):
just chaos. They're really celebrating chaos and nonsense, you know.
But I don't get it. I don't want. Let me
say this strange encounters is important and there is something
to be concerned about in the supernatural realm.

Speaker 8 (23:53):
That that is true.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
We don't need to be uneducated and unprepared. However, I
will cautionness. We also don't need to look for it
behind every door.

Speaker 12 (24:02):
Not not.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Everything goes back to that. I'm not saying that there's
no concern about this. I'm saying I don't know enough
about it. It feels like right now, it's just a
bunch of kids being goofy like kids have been known
to do. Even when we were kids, we did goofy
things that were that were not dark and not twisted.
They were just goofy because we were goofy stupid little kids.

(24:24):
So and I don't mean stupid like you have no intelligence.
I mean stupid meaning I don't know much yet because
I'm so new to the world.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
You know, I have a child.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, I'm very creative about that, right. No, now I
will say that I don't find this to be very
creative at all. But well, I'm doing something that I
have no idea why I do it. Yeah, I mean
that makes a lot of sense. Yeah, it's it's kind
of a dumb fad. I'm just not sure it's dark,
but it is dumb. But that doesn't mean it's dark.

(24:54):
And so it's And I gave you the background because
I've been researching it because someone said I'm the one
that emailed you about this, thank you for that. I
started looking at it because of it, and it just
looked kind of goofy. And this rapper said he didn't
even have a meaning for it when he threw it
in some song. Looking at reading that. Yeah, and I
know the NBA player that they used it for because

(25:16):
who was six foot seven. Well, I'm sure there's a
lot of those in the NBA. Yeah, I bet there are,
but I just speedy uses it.

Speaker 10 (25:22):
There's a highlight of NFL players doing it after receptions
a penalty. I mean they're when you ever see like
you're almost juggling, you know, your hands are almost making
like a juggling motion.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Can I tell you that we we used that same
hand signal? But it meant something and I don't want
to go into it, no, but it meant something completely. Yeah, Yeah,
I love this here. Ultimately, the meaning of six seven
is whatever its user wants it to be. That that
that's typical. Yes, I do noway what in your mind
it is? That's what it is now. And I don't

(25:56):
think it worked. Now we'll tell you this. I don't
think that's healthy. No, it's not. Yeah, you see this
is that I'm not over. I'm not gonna, like I say,
chase this around the corner unnecessarily. Kids kids have always
done goofy things. But I will say this though, I
will say this, it is stupid. I will say when
you start embracing nothingness and there's no standard and there's

(26:19):
no right or wrong, that that's it. That is a
dangerous path to be. Yeah, and it when you you know,
when you start celebrating nonsense chaos, uh, you don't know
what it is, interpret it how you want to, and
you leave the realm of you know, order, foundational truth.

(26:44):
I don't think I mean, little kids do goofy things.
I'm not saying that, but chicken.

Speaker 8 (26:48):
But but I will say it's probably.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
It may be offering opportunity to talk about what I
just talked about, that they're they're there. The whole world
isn't non seen in the whole world isn't chaos, And
and you can't just be and do whatever you want
and believe whatever you want to believe and interpret however
you want to interpret that that really isn't true. So
maybe it opens up a good opportunity for that to you.
You come back, go, look, I know you're just giving around,

(27:14):
but I do want to clarify something. You know, this
has no meaning of any kind and no foundation and
frankly no value.

Speaker 10 (27:22):
Exactly pretty much. I mean, Wendy's is selling them. Wendy's
is selling their smoothies for sixty seven cents.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
On Black Friday?

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Are you serious?

Speaker 7 (27:31):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (27:32):
Teachers having to avoid page sixty seven. Oh, if a
teacher has to say, turn your pages to page sixty seven.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
It's over. Wait a minute, I get a canceled class.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
I'm getting smoothie for sixty seven cents.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
See that's the takeaway. That's the takeaway there.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Wendy's really.

Speaker 7 (27:49):
Includen is the Rick Burdgers show.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
By the way, here we go thanks thanks Giving tomorrow.
I was laughing at Babylon B. That Babylon B had
a great one that says that President Trump is committed
to killing every turkey that Biden pardoned, which was hilarious.
But Trump, for some reason, now he's roasting JB. Is
it Pritzker to say the name? Who's who is JB? Pritzker?

(28:22):
I don't know who that is?

Speaker 6 (28:23):
Governor of Illinois, the governors, you know, you know he's
the one that been trying to be standing in the
way of of Trump help in Chicago with the national.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah we don't need you. He's large, you know, he's
a white face. Get ready, well, Greg course Trump he can't.
I mean Adler put in here, and he's right, Donald Trump.
Those of us that grew up around Don Rickles when
nothing was off the table, I mean Don Rickles of
course couldn't have a career.

Speaker 8 (28:50):
Now, no, but he was.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
He would rip you to shreds hilarious. That's about when
people didn't make theirselves so serious. Oh yeah, but if
you're the president of the United States, probably making fat
jokes about the governor of Illinois, probably probably not expected.
It's suspected if it's Trump. Yeah, but I mean normal size.
So here he is, and he's.

Speaker 13 (29:14):
I just listened, cas Is granting mercy, discovering that the
terrible trauma that everyone's going through. And I had a
little bit of a Pritzker joke. I was going to
talk about priscer in size. But when I talk about Prisco,
I get angry because he's not letting us.

Speaker 12 (29:32):
Do the job. So I'm not going to tell my
Pritzker joke. They have a very cute little joke.

Speaker 6 (29:36):
You know.

Speaker 12 (29:37):
Some speechwriter wrote some joke about his weight.

Speaker 13 (29:42):
But I would never want to talk about his weight.
I don't talk about people being fat. I refuse to
talk about the fact that he's a fat slob.

Speaker 12 (29:49):
I don't mention it. But a more serious notice.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
He did the classic. If I was this is what
I'd say.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
But I'm not gonna say. I'm not gonna do it
not gotta my goodness, Oh he was in rare form.

Speaker 8 (30:10):
Wow during this whole thing.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Oh my goodness, brought Chuck and Nancy into it too.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Oh yes he did.

Speaker 11 (30:16):
Night.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Listen to the names of the turkeys of pardoning and
just listen. One of my least favorite things we do
on Thanksgiving is a country is pardon these stupid turkeys. Yeah,
anyway here and then go eaight to other turkey.

Speaker 13 (30:28):
Yeah right, names of Gobble and Waddle. When I first
saw the pictures, I thought we should send them.

Speaker 12 (30:35):
Well, I was gonna I shouldn't say this.

Speaker 13 (30:38):
I was gonna call him Chucking Nancy Goods. But then
I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them. I would never
pardon those two people. I wouldn't pardon them. I wouldn't
care what Malania told me, Darling, I think it would
be a nice thing to do.

Speaker 12 (30:52):
I won't do it, Darling.

Speaker 13 (30:54):
These are two of the largest turkeys ever presented to
an American president, over fifty pounds each.

Speaker 12 (31:00):
It's the largest we've ever had one. And those are
big turkeys. Are they as good as the normal sized turkey? Better?
Or as good?

Speaker 13 (31:07):
Do they tend to be a little fatty maybe now
he said, no, you know, it's a turkey business anyway.
Despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has formally certified that these
are the first ever Maha turkeys. I don't know if
I agree with that these are Maha. In other words,
they could be fat, but they're still Maha. They've been

(31:28):
fattened on a steady diet of grass, beef to allow
the smoothies and all of the other things that they've
been eating for this occasion. This was a really big occasion,
but they've eaten every fattening food that you can eat.
We work like we wanted to really make them special,
and they really are. They're like record setting. I've never

(31:49):
seen a turkey that big before.

Speaker 12 (31:50):
Are they violent at all?

Speaker 4 (31:51):
Well, they were very big.

Speaker 10 (31:56):
You know.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
When I was present, the biggest turkey turkeys were the largest.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
Now I didn't know if turkeys could get fifty pounds though,
I did not know.

Speaker 6 (32:04):
Ye, yeah, that's a big and hey one and there's
one one. Sea is funny though, throwing back to Biden
in the auto pen. But let's listen to this.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
He trying to say they were drinking smoothies because they
were trying to lose Yes, let me, Yeah, trying to
put it. He was, I don't know what he was saying,
but let me tell you what's gonna happen. Because there's
one little line he said, and I'm sure it's already
started when he said that he almost named him Chuck
and Nancy, but he wouldn't pardon them. The left will

(32:34):
say he threatened to kill Chuck Schumer and and Nancy,
but he said he wouldn't pardon them. Yeah, right, and
then turkeys would be killed if they weren't pardoned. So
now the left is going to say he's basically I'm
not saying that that's right now, but that's surprise. Yeah,

(32:56):
today's work. If Trump went six right, of course, he's
trying to make a joke with the left looks for anything. Yeah,
Trump threatens to kill Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi said
if they were before him to be killed or pardoned,
he would let him be killed. He said they were
turkeys that should be killed, all right. So this next one,

(33:17):
last one, funny one, last one. He's talking about Biden's
turkey pardons.

Speaker 13 (33:22):
So here I named sleepy Joe Biden. He used an
ono pen last year for the Turkey's pardon. So I
have the official duty to determine, and I have determined
that last year's Turkey partons are totally invalid, as are
the pardons of about every other person that was pardoned

(33:43):
other than Where's Hunter.

Speaker 12 (33:48):
No Hunters was good? That was the one part in
pamp that was good.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Right.

Speaker 12 (33:51):
The rest of them are all invalid.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
I don't know what the hell.

Speaker 13 (33:53):
You're going to do about that, but that's now We're
going to take a little of the joke.

Speaker 12 (33:56):
And that is a mess.

Speaker 13 (33:58):
But they're here by Noll and void. The turkey is
known as peachin blossom last year have been located and
they were on their way to be processed, in other words,
to be killed.

Speaker 12 (34:10):
But I have stopped that journey and I.

Speaker 13 (34:13):
Am officially pardoning them and they will not be served
for Thanksgiving dinner.

Speaker 12 (34:20):
We saved them in the nick of time.

Speaker 13 (34:22):
This one has plenty of time, but they were saved
in the nick of time.

Speaker 12 (34:26):
We're thrilled to be.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
Anyway.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
I don't even know what to say to this. He's
in rare form. He is. I mean, I don't even
know what are you going to do? It is as
pure Trump as i've ever heard. Yeah, I mean having time.
What must it be like, speedy to be a handler
of President Trump when when he gets to go and

(34:51):
you're just like, oh my goodness, please look at the Yeah,
you will.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
Not gobbles stand up comedian. He said, why did the
turkey crows the road?

Speaker 6 (35:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (35:01):
I got this one there, bigger than.

Speaker 6 (35:02):
Ever they Uh so gobble and waddle the two turkeys
pardon this year. Now they're headed to n C State, uh,
to spend the rest of their lives under the care
of the university's agricultural program. All right, and so they'll
live their life out on We'll go throw out a
butterball and throw it so we can have something to

(35:23):
eat on Thanksgiving his White House.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
This this turkey pardon thing is just weird. I wish
we'd stopped doing it as a nation. It's just weird.

Speaker 7 (35:30):
It is odd.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
I'm you, love, and I thought he would be the
one to do it, to come out and go, I
tell you what I've changed. I will say, I think
I would have liked Trump more if he said I
were done with the pardon the seat. Yeah, but it's
uh yeah, it's it's a silly little thing we do
and uh but but I've never seen it done like that.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
No, that was Donnie inspected the Christmas tree as well.
The White House Christmas tree has arrived.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
I did see that.

Speaker 8 (36:01):
Yeah, that's a big tree right there.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
That's a big song to me.

Speaker 4 (36:07):
Is the season.

Speaker 7 (36:11):
Is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
All right? So we got a couple of things going on.
I want to ask you guys a question someone said
and I did too. When Trump was talking about these
turkeys and they were fattening them up, did he say
they ate beef? It's like grass grass fed beef. I
think that's what he meant, because he said. I don't
think he said beef and grass. And I'm like, we're
fitting turkeys beef. I think that's a good idea we're

(36:38):
gonna turn them into.

Speaker 8 (36:41):
I mean, I might have just been a misspeak.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
Yeah, I mean it's beef another turkey.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
They're omnivorous.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (36:50):
Have you ever see a chicken eat a mouse? By
the way, you ever see a chicken hunt? You ever
see a chicken hunt a mouse?

Speaker 1 (36:57):
That turkey snakes?

Speaker 4 (36:59):
I'm the birds are just little dinosaurs.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
They are they are They're just they'll peck you to day.

Speaker 4 (37:05):
I mean they're looking for by the.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Way, speaking of that Wednesday Bible study today, guess what
makes the resume behemoth? Oh yeah, it's behemoth day. All right,
So let's talk about the turkeys. Okay, so I don't
know what what he said about that, but I want
to ask you guys something, and then we're going we
got a video of another warning when he remind all
of you. I have two questions, are y'all for? First

(37:30):
of all, the turkey, and'll go with this video? Andler,
do you like deep fried turkey, smoked turkey or or
roasted turkey the best? Are you gonna make me? Uh?
Did you talking about the old traditional roast? And oh? Yeah, man,
I like that, But I will say this, the deep
fry it's pretty good. I smoked turkey the most, really interesting.

(37:53):
Did not think you picked smoked? Really? I go oven?
Then grease, Yes, me too. I love a traditional roasted
turkey in the oven. That's my favorite.

Speaker 8 (38:03):
And that's what.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
That's what they do. Yeah, smoke turkey, I like. Okay,
I'm with you. I think I moved deep fried to
the number two spot and smoke to the number three spot.
And I don't mind smoke. I don't either, But it's
not my number one, no oven roasted brown mmmm. And
then you bring it out. So but those of you
that do the deep fried, now that this has become

(38:26):
crazy popular.

Speaker 10 (38:27):
Yeah, I've done it probably, I guess seven or eight times,
the old Cajun injected deep fried turkey.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
Yeah it is good, and it is good. It's a
good turkey, but can be highly dangerous. Yeah. And guys, please,
I'm just telling you, please pay attention to these warnings.
So they're going to show you once again a frozen
turkey little gear, y know, so it's not supposed to
drop in their frozen Don't.

Speaker 4 (38:49):
Drop a frozen turkey in there, y'all. Okay, And that's
number one. And then I got to another video.

Speaker 10 (38:53):
Don't drop it either, make sure you drop it in
their slow But even he puts a frozen turkey in
their slow watch these firefighters.

Speaker 8 (39:00):
Watch these firefighters warning you about their full gear.

Speaker 4 (39:04):
Better be right.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
And look this is they've got it ready and it's
frozen turkey and they're trying to drop it in there.

Speaker 4 (39:09):
He eases it in. He didn't drop it, and it goes.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
Say, that's a that's a big flame there, that's a
big old flame. And if you've got that under your
car board or something, you got to fire.

Speaker 4 (39:23):
You got fire in your kitchen.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Sure enough there, yeah, so don't do that. So it
needs to be thawed. Is that right?

Speaker 4 (39:28):
It needs to be thawed.

Speaker 10 (39:30):
And then here is uh, don't slip, don't drop it
because it's it's gonna be even worse.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
There you go, oh.

Speaker 8 (39:38):
Oh, you're saying they just it just now we got
now that is getting burned.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
You got it, so so thaw it out. Flame, So
thaw it out and.

Speaker 4 (39:48):
Ease it in, right, Yes, he thought out and ease
it in.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
Right. When I was doing a little bit better yesterday,
Hoby was with me. I bet Greg wouldn't. No, he wasn't. Uh,
I can't. I can't get him. I don't know what
to do about it.

Speaker 8 (40:04):
I thought it came once.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
He did once and they were like Greg first year,
he doesn't want to do.

Speaker 14 (40:12):
He said, hey, I got that chef like you, And
I said you did.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
He said, it's a game changer. It sounds so much
like this is the one impression that he does what
he said.

Speaker 15 (40:28):
I mean, hey, I can I can socialize and hang
out with Mary Catherine, and I ain't got to worry
about it. You just set the temperature what you're cooking,
and you ain't got to worry about It's a game change.

Speaker 14 (40:41):
I'm telling you, it's a game change.

Speaker 4 (40:46):
He said, you ever had pulled pulled Ham?

Speaker 1 (40:49):
I said, what, excuse me, pulled Ham.

Speaker 4 (40:51):
We're gonna have it.

Speaker 14 (40:52):
You got turkey. It's a game changer, pulled.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
Port, he said. Yet, he said, it's like you're trying
to I'm just telling you. We were, uh, we were
hanging out and and he was like, I'm telling you,
it's It's one of the things.

Speaker 4 (41:08):
He said, everybody's got to have one.

Speaker 8 (41:10):
Why is it Why?

Speaker 14 (41:11):
Because it's a game changer.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
So the do you may hate are so good? Care
anybody care if Ham's coming to the to the party tomorrow.
I'm not big on Ham.

Speaker 12 (41:22):
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
The Ham's not my favorite. Like a little it's down
a little bit. Honey bake makes a good Ham. If
that's a good Ham, just I don't dislike it. But
I don't sit drinkle man. I got to have some Ham.
I almost want the Ham just to be its own
thing on any given day. Don't come in here on things. Yeah,
the honey bake' is a good one. No, it's great.
But I'm talking about I'm just like old honey bake

(41:42):
hanging around. Yeah, I can kind of.

Speaker 6 (41:45):
Add it almost like like a little plate party. I've
just got so much stuff going on. It's just things
are on top of each other. It's just a mess,
you know, And I just like it that way. Eventually
you start seeing the plate.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Have you ever look if you ever want you to
think about this, I don't want to have you ever
just like looked at your plate and thought, so all
that's going in my stomach?

Speaker 12 (42:06):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (42:07):
And how big is my stomach?

Speaker 12 (42:08):
Right?

Speaker 4 (42:08):
I mean you hold it? I mean it's like heavy.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Yeah, you picked up and you need the two hands.

Speaker 8 (42:13):
You're kind of like everything's gonna be okay.

Speaker 6 (42:15):
Yeah, I don't know if And you know what's cruel
is then I have a two and a half hour
trip home after like that.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
Not you you're ripping off in the car, Andrey, Yeah,
you're ripping off the whole time. And then you you
cousin Lisa, Yeah, you finished the you finished the plate.

Speaker 6 (42:32):
And they go, hey, y'all save Oh no they're not Hobie,
Hey y'all save room for dessert.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
I'm like, I made them a hobie.

Speaker 7 (42:37):
Yeah, the Rick Burger Show.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
Special days all that. Do you prefer chicken or turkey?
Win just just like you you can pick either one.
It's not specials, not Thanksgiving, it's not your fault. Chicken.
Probably chicken over turkey. Here's what's weird. I love turkey.
If you're taking uh, it's just chicken, this turkey. Now,

(43:08):
if it's sandwich meat, I go turkey. Isn't that weird? Well,
if it's just chicken sandwich meade or turkey sandwich made,
I'm going turkey. Sometimes Sherry will come home with the
sandwich meat and it'll be chicken. It throws me a
little bit. Yeah, if we're cooking the bird sandwich meat.
If we're cooking the bird, I prefer the chicken.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
Going just more often. I'm just going chicken, chicken breast,
chicken thighs.

Speaker 8 (43:34):
You know, we'll Sherry and I will go and get

Speaker 1 (43:38):
It is just a turkey breast, and we'll put one
on the grill and just you season it up and whatever,
and yeah, I think that's pretty good.

Speaker 8 (43:46):
They didn't have that laying around. Oh yes, i'd we
could keep it in the fridge a few days.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Knocked the piece off, little sandwich. Yeah, but I probably
do love chicken more than turkey probably, you know. Yeah,
Tererry made a great meal. Well, she put on a
sweet potato, okay, and I know, I know, well he's
already mad. Let him finish. Yeah, but she had like

(44:11):

Speaker 6 (44:13):
She had ground beef. He was just on the top
on a sweet potato. She had avocados. She had a
little bit of sour cream, a little just a little
little dap of sour cream. Uh, and and something else
and I and she said, I promise you this is
going to be good. She said, I know the present.
You would never pick this off from men, you and

(44:35):

Speaker 1 (45:01):
The sweet potato?

Speaker 8 (45:02):

Just like was talking about.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
Yep, I just can't sit in chili. I just can't
want it near chill. You want to work me into
that thing you ate, I'll try that. I don't it.
I don't. I little, but I like another help, another question, big, big, big,
big eating holiday coming up. We're all going over it.
Everybody's going over it. And you're you're on the road.

(47:15):
So this happens if you're not hosting and you're on
the road. So you've eaten, and you've you've you're eating
a lot. Okay, you've hit a desert or too sure
that you you weren't hungry, you just wanted your taste.
Now everybody's piling back in the car and you're loaded okay,
all loaded up? Yeah, you're you're you're you are.

Speaker 8 (47:37):
You going fire shots all the way home?

Speaker 1 (47:39):
Okay? So so do you do you wait for others
to notice? Or do you go ahead and take the
window down like if you if you fire one? Do
you go ahead and we're having this conversation, do you
take the wind to start dropping it and give everybody
a clue that needs to go ahead and drop or
do you just say, let's see what happens every now
and then there's mystery win and that you'll that you'll

(48:01):
bark went in the car and you think I'm about
to hear from everybody, and nobody mentions you know what
about I can't explain that because I'm like I can,
And then all of a sudden you'll get away with it.

Speaker 7 (48:10):
How does that happen?

Speaker 1 (48:11):
You remember when we were kids because Mom would get
on I mean, you're in Trumount and you can't have it,
but you're in trouble if you're in the car and
Dad would turn around yelling at us, and and it
was him blamed.

Speaker 8 (48:22):
Yeah, hey boys, and you're like what.

Speaker 1 (48:28):
It would push you in a little bit of dilemma
because I'm like, can I post him on this? I
know he's using us, he's lying, he's heats telling on
the line. He is, hey boys, and the dad gum
go to your Mama's in the car. We ain't going back.
And I'm like, I didn't do that.

Speaker 4 (48:42):
Somebody got me. I got something hanging in this room.
Somebody's got me.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
Would you say it's not you? No, it's not protesting much.

Speaker 10 (48:50):
I noticed Greg came in and talked to me for
a second. You know, sir, something bled in here.

Speaker 12 (48:55):
He'll do that.

Speaker 4 (48:56):
He'll last.

Speaker 8 (48:58):
Everybody in here.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
You cropped us down. The people other people that's not true,
are making stuff. I kind of I kind of keep
mine in my area and if you if you come
into any territory, it's on you.

Speaker 8 (49:12):
But I don't go other places and fire on other people.

Speaker 6 (49:15):
I guarantee you if if each one was two points,
you'd score over thirty a game.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
Yeah, I'll just make stuff up. That's fine. No, that's
what you want to do. If you want to make
stuff up like Dad did. Whatever, So do you do,
y'all go ahead, and this is gonna get me. Ask
the question, do y'all just try to make it or
do you go ahead and take it you got? You
can't do that to people, right, Okay, try one what
you got? See what happened? You know what I'm saying.
If if it's your buddies, of course, right and say

(49:43):
that you you have that one family member that's highly
sensitive to it, and like it starts the whole thing,
and I'm like, gosh, everybody else is fine. What are
you upset about? Yeah? You know?

Speaker 10 (49:56):
Have you guys notice that on Tuesdays and Fridays you
don't want to be around post show, around us, honestly
post show because everybody's left, because we have a lot
of on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Speaker 4 (50:08):
And then when they leave, that door closes. It's like
I didn't and he saw it.

Speaker 8 (50:17):
I didn't see the TV guy. I barked one on
the TV guy yesterday.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
I didn't see him. It was because I've been holding one,
like you said, because I've been I was trying to
be kind to the game was quiet, yeah to the
vox seats, and he was quiet. Liver getting the came ready,
and I didn't see it, and I thought I was
in here by myself and I looked over and I

(50:42):
was like, hey man, that sold me. There.

Speaker 4 (50:45):
I'm a stranger. You don't know me.

Speaker 8 (50:47):
Sorry, that was friendly fire, buddy.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (50:49):
I'm from the news, buddy.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
You don't know me, that is.

Speaker 8 (50:53):
And it was awkward after that when I had to
do my little parts and then he was shooting.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
It was weird. It was weird between yeah, yeah, because
I'll tell you what he was. He was down in
the area too. He was bending down to get his stuff.
He was like he couldn't have been.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
I think I get hidden.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
It was one of these I thought. I thought myself,
I had to stuff in there. He was safe. Look
look I'm I'm wrapping over here, and I'm like there
and I was like, hey man, sorry about that.

Speaker 8 (51:30):
I thought I was alone. Been holding that for two hours.

Speaker 4 (51:36):
Good night, spun on his face, like tell.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
But what it was is, you know, when people in here,
if you can't make it, you tried to sneak. Yeah, sure,
and you just kind of hope that works out. But
I thought I was free to fire, and I didn't realize.
I mean I was able to, you know, put get
on it a little bit, get up a little volume,
and I think when you went sixty seven that I
was a little bit he said, it's sorry. By that

(52:01):
that did mean something different. We were, hey, it's weird money,
just weird.

Speaker 4 (52:08):
Yeah, they said, I left out the peako, So did
send me that promo?

Speaker 1 (52:12):
Though?

Speaker 4 (52:13):
The News sent me to your promo?

Speaker 16 (52:14):
You want to hear it real quick, right before the
break right, this is the.

Speaker 7 (52:27):
Rick Burgess show.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
Coming up this weekend. Uh, while the Virginia high school
football coach story getting a.

Speaker 8 (52:38):
Little darker, a little darker.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
Suddenly he's a fugitive. Uh wow, wow, wow, I don't
even I can't believe this even exists. Uh. Again, these
are allegations, and his wife is saying, if these allegations
are true, it's not the man I'm married to. He
was living, is left and is hiding. Doesn't look great,
look great. But what I'm saying is I think she's saying,

(53:06):
and I don't know. No, I don't doubt she's saying.
If he was doing this, he was living a double life.
I was not aware. I have no idea. So uh
she said, on all of her experiences, he was a
devoted husband and father. Yep, But unfortunately I'm just I
mean it's a it's a news story. Fox News authorities

(53:29):
announced Tuesday they have obtained ten warrants issued Monday to
charge coach Turner with five counts a possession of child
pornography and five counts of using a computer to solicit
a minor. Now, no idea whether that is true any
of that, but those are the allegations. That does explain

(53:53):
why he's vanished during the undef undefeated season. Uh And
so there's the update today, and he is, as Greg said,
just giving you the news, considered a fugitive. You know,
that's just one of those things. And I'm not talking

(54:13):
about him because I don't know he's gonna have his
day in court. I'm over here talking about the fact
that that does exist and the people who are actually
doing that. We've seen them get arrested, We've seen heard
some horrible stories. The level of depravity involving child pornography.
That is a level of depravity that boggles the mind.

(54:36):
I know we live in a falling creation. I know,
I know there's wickedness. I know there's that that is
I mean, I can't even I can't even wrap my
mind around it. Can It's so counter to to being
a decent human being and not being an animal, right
yeah right?

Speaker 13 (54:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (54:57):
Wow?

Speaker 4 (54:58):
Can I use a quick clip from Dumb and Dumber?

Speaker 11 (55:01):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (55:02):
I know that's I know, that's an interesting you guys,
that's an interesting question.

Speaker 4 (55:06):
Anytime this comes up.

Speaker 10 (55:08):
This is what goes on in my mind, really and
if it does end up being true for anyone, And
this is the quote that I run in my.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
Mind, right, curious from Dumb and Dumber.

Speaker 4 (55:17):
From Dumb and Dumber.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
Interesting. Okay, killham? Okay, okay, all right, now you know
you're right because you think I don't know that.

Speaker 4 (55:26):
Okay, kill him.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
But you know people who do that kind of thing,
You're like, I just would rather them not live around us,
like a bunch from bib County in Alabama. Okay, kill
them on a much lighter note. But that was the update.
Also also including included in high school football around the country, Gainesville, Georgia.

(55:51):
This is James Niblett. Yeah, coach Niblett who at one
time you know, was in our part of the world.

Speaker 8 (55:56):
Uh, and was a good coach, great coach, and was
a was an acquaintance.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
He's involved I guess now coaching games will Georgia. Uh.
There was a huge sideline brawl that broke out in
the high school football game.

Speaker 8 (56:13):
I assume a playoff game is Georgia. Yeah, and now
the Georgia.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
High School Association is going to suspend thirty nine players. Wow,
just from that school or I don't know, both school.
I think it's a combination of the two school. I'm
not sure, but it is thirty nine players. I do
know that. I don't know. It's a lot of his players,
a lot of his players. And I watched his commentary
because it was on social media yesterday, and I understood

(56:42):
exactly where he was coming from. And I don't know
the details, but he says, which, by the way, I
would say this to people out there, because we have
versions of that involving us. Stop commenting on sound bites
and little tidbits. If you want to comment and understand something,
you kind of need to have. You need to be
privy to the story from beginning to end, not just

(57:04):
a little clip pulled out. And he said, right now,
everybody's just seeing the video clips. They're seeing the brawl.
And he said, but you kind of have to You
kind of should have been watching the entire game and
things that kept going on in the game, and he
said yeah, and he said this was stuff that went

(57:25):
on the entire game. And then he said, then you
have to make a decision on what happened. And I mean,
it turns in you basically had some players that were
we used to call chicken fighting after the play blocking,
and one pulls the helmet off the other and then
that's the one that white. Yeah, and he pulls back

(57:46):
his hands like I'm done, and then the player punches
him in the face and then keeps going after him.
Why he has his helmet off, holding his hands up.
He's not fighting back.

Speaker 6 (57:54):
And then big a lineman comes in and really gets
it goings.

Speaker 1 (57:58):
And then the the players who were supporting their player
with the helmet off getting paid, they go out to
defend him, and yeah, and it all breaks loose. So
if you look right there, his his team was out numbered.
So then here comes the rest of the others. All right,
they're saying, all thirty nine are from Gamesvil. That's interesting
to me. Wow, what how many from the video? I

(58:19):
just saw how many from the other team? Of course
they're somebody lost, so evident of the other team lost, right,
they stopped the didn't stop the game. I don't know
the detail. That's probably a good yeah point, because they're
continuing whoever lost thying, you know, you can't just spend
them because I'm not playing right. Yeah. So the other
thing is a so so he yanks his helm and off,
so that he yanks one of the games players the
other one. He got two helmets and yanks and then.

Speaker 6 (58:40):
Then goes closed fists, let's go, and they're holding they
are holding back, and then now come big lineman comes
in and that's when it went utt.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
It says that there now there's a total of forty
one players suspended following the game.

Speaker 10 (58:55):
Uh uh.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
And it says that oh oh wow, wait a minute,
forty one Brunswick players that's the team in black and
thirty nine Gamesville players.

Speaker 7 (59:06):
Okay, wow wow.

Speaker 8 (59:08):
So they understand they suspended both the entire team both one.

Speaker 1 (59:13):
Did they not finish? I don't know, but I know.
It says that there is now a lawsuit against the
Georgia High School Association. It says the Brunswick team has
been placed as the team in Black on probation next season,
making them ineligible for the twenty twenty six twenty seven postseason.

(59:34):
They Will fined five thousand dollars. Gainsville City Schools and
the high school leaders appealed the suspension of dozens of
their players. They must have won on Tuesday, but most
still can't take the field.

Speaker 8 (59:48):
Ye, so it looks like games.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
Will won the game. And now they're trying to go
on with thirty nine less players. Wow, and they're they're
appealing that. You look at the how it started, and
I know the rule you can't leave the sideline, I
get all that whatever, but the games with players were
trying to they ripped their helm off, they still had

(01:00:11):
their hands up, trying not to fight. Yeah, forgive me.
And then center, then here comes winning big lineman in there.
Oh yeah, seventy seven. And then now all of a
sudden and kind of like if you're listening, coach, and
all of a sudden, they're attacking their teammates and they're like, well,
we're not going to sit here and watch that.

Speaker 8 (01:00:26):
This was This was the five A quarterfinal game.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
Gains Will was.

Speaker 8 (01:00:29):
Up forty two to nothing.

Speaker 4 (01:00:30):
Yes, late in the third quarter.

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
The team was not a very good loser.

Speaker 4 (01:00:34):
It was a game ending brawl late in the third quarter.

Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
They did suspend it but games Will would win it
because they were up forty two to the Brunswick player
that started it all. He lost his mind. But if
you're getting hammered like that.

Speaker 6 (01:00:47):
And thenwick offensive lineman that comes in, he escalated it completely.
And now here comes the benches.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
Like you're saying, well we'll come back, My goodness, it's uh,
it's time for the hour. We'll continue right after this.

Speaker 7 (01:01:07):

Speaker 1 (01:01:16):
Text Nations said, Hey, Burge, notice you guys did the
story on these high school teams, and you did the
highlights of the fight.

Speaker 8 (01:01:26):
You did a good job. Not saying anything about the tent.
It looks like the sidelines.

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
Well, here's my thing about all these tints that are
showing up on high school sidelines now blocking the view
of people in the stands. I just it's just hard
for me to sit here and let our you know,
handicap people sitting in handicapped seating not able to watch
the game because we've got too many tints on. So
I just I'm not going to stand here and let
tints block the view of a high school game of

(01:01:52):
a handicapped parent. If y'all are for it, fine, that's
just that's fine, that's right, that's just, but it's not
gonna I'm not gonna sit here and let it happen.
So anyway, the appeal on that one in Georgia is, hey,
can we get through the playoff? We're not appealing the fine.
We were peeling thirty nine players. Somebody seems to be
in the know out of Georgia says he thinks they've

(01:02:13):
at least got it down to thirty five now, but
that's still missing a lot of players.

Speaker 8 (01:02:17):
I mean, what about this, I.

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
Mean, you can't how are you gonna play?

Speaker 6 (01:02:20):
What do you expect someone to do if you just
sit back and look at it and you see somebody
just getting pelted and they're getting their helmets ripped off,
and there is a major event going on in midfield
and the other team is responding, you're just supposed to
stand there? Well, I mean, what are you supposed to do?
Because the blanket rule, and y'all have even mentioned it, Well,

(01:02:41):
if you leave the sidelines, or you leave the bench,
and that's you know that sometimes such a common sense
or or or possibly look, nobody on the games well
side is on the field right now, and these other
two players are getting their helmets ripped off and everything right,
and then they're all there, yeah, then here comes bigger
boom right now we own yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
Yeah, now here comes everybody because everybody's responding yeah, because
look that team's coming.

Speaker 11 (01:03:04):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
If they're going, we're going well. I watched coach Nibblet
talk about it, and I thought he had a great balance.
He was still obviously still angry, but I thought his
balance was really good. And he actually said, like you're
talking about speedy, a hard truth that sometimes our society
now doesn't like to hear. The zero tolerance, you know.

Speaker 8 (01:03:23):
I don't like that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:24):
I think that's weak leadership. It's almost cowardice because somebody's
afraid you got.

Speaker 8 (01:03:30):
To make a decisions. We don't have to make a
decision tolerance, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:03:33):
And it's terrible leadership because sometimes there are people at
fault and they are people who are not at fault.
Uh that is true sometimes, but but and you have
to have the guts to call it in leadership. But
he said, just what you said.

Speaker 8 (01:03:49):
He said, if you'll.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
Notice our players have their hands down and then the
other team rips their helmets off. Now they're not protect
that they have no helmets. Our player has not taken
a swing. Our player has his hands out like he's
been taught to do. The other player punches our player
in the face, then punches him then and then the

(01:04:11):
bigger guy comes in hits the other no helmet guy.
And at that point, he said, at that point, we
as coaches, you know, if you if you have a
good program, this is usually true. You remember this. We
all remember this. We're sitting here throughout camp, throughout whatever,
telling these group of young males that they should be
a team, that they're a family. You got to watch

(01:04:34):
each other's back. You know, you got to be there
for each other. Can you look at the guy beside
you and say, hey, I'm here, I'm in the gap
for you. I'm doing my job. And we preach all that,
and we teach all that which is good for teaching
them to be good men once they leave football, and
when they see their teammate getting punched in the face
and knocked down with no helmet on, when they're holding

(01:04:55):
their hands down trying not to fight, I don't know
what y'all want us to do. They're out protecting their teammates,
trying to keep them from being hurt, and he goes
and that's what we've taught them, that's instilled in them.
And it sounds like this had been going on the
whole game. Yeah, and and he said that. They said,
you can't just watch this. You need to know how
the whole game was going. And you know, as we've

(01:05:17):
said many times, and I know nothing about the officials.
I know nothing about the coaches of the other team.
I do know how Niblet runs a team, but I
have no idea about these other people, so I don't
want to make any judgment on them. However, it sounds
like that it was a chippy game. It was a blowout.
Everybody's getting angry. I do think the officials and they

(01:05:38):
maybe they did in this game, because I don't know,
But many times I have said to an official, all this,
by the way, you caused it, because you did, you
didn't cull it when it first started, and now you've
created this bad atmosphere out here, and now we all
got a problem. And so I think in this particular case,

(01:05:58):
I don't know what will happen. I don't know how
you going and win the next round. Losing anywhere from
thirty five to thirty nine players. But I think if
you look at the situation, and I heard coach Niblett
saying this, I understand the situation, but it's kind of
hard for me, based on how things unfolded, to say that.

(01:06:21):
You know, I'm angry with the response of our team
defending their two teammates that had no helpmets on them.
We're getting pumbled. It's just hard for me to get
upset about that. And let me ask you this. I'll
take the.

Speaker 8 (01:06:32):
Fine all that, but.

Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
There's other views. I'm sure, how do you determine thirty
something people who should be thrown out? I don't know
how do you determin I guess everybody that left the sideline, well,
I don't know. I have no idea.

Speaker 4 (01:06:46):
They must have gone back frame by frame.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
I mean, I mean, you saw what we saw. You
couldn't tell what at the beginning you could, and then
right up to where the guy comes in and wipes
the guy out, then it's just mayhem. There's people everywhere.

Speaker 6 (01:06:57):
I don't know what it was like with Y'd growing up,
but I'm pretty su sure this was probably the situation.
This is zero tolerance, rick that you say now that
has infiltrated the slaves, and you know you have I'll
just use the term of bully or an aggressor or
somebody that's messing.

Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
With somebody in the hall, won't leave them alone. It's
continuing to happen.

Speaker 6 (01:07:17):
Well, finally that person defends themselves and they get into
a fight or or or some type of scuffle where
the teachers are having to grab them up and get
him to the principal's office. Well, it used to be
when I was growing up, the principal go who started this?
Oh yeah, I'd be like Rick, Like Rick started it,
he started We got any witnesses? Yeah, I mean Rick

(01:07:39):
was pushing him and he was trying to hit him,
and you know, Speedy was just just protecting himself. They
got into a scuffle, okay, speeding you going back to class, Rick, It.

Speaker 1 (01:07:48):
Would be yeah, yeah, bey and fault.

Speaker 4 (01:07:51):
Yeah, there would be.

Speaker 6 (01:07:53):
A judgment on who started it, who was the aggressor,
who was just defending themselves.

Speaker 1 (01:07:58):
Now it's like everybody suspended. You're in and you're all out. Yeah,
I don't I don't think you we should have to
ask people to hope they won't be in trouble in
a fight to allow someone to hurt them and not
defend themselves. But he just let them hurt you so
that way you won't get in trouble. Yeah, okay, I
mean that.

Speaker 4 (01:08:17):
I mean that did make I'd rather get in trouble.
I had to give Ruby the speech too.

Speaker 10 (01:08:20):
By the way, if somebody pushes you at school, pushing back,
I don't care. If somebody is hurting you and messing
with you at school, push them back. I don't care
if you get in trouble. I'm not sure if she
really understood it, because.

Speaker 1 (01:08:32):
Yeah, because you sent your daughter to bully the entire
four year old right.

Speaker 4 (01:08:37):
Five year old Ruby.

Speaker 10 (01:08:38):
Five year old Ruby then pushed like later that day,
pushed her two year old brother to the ground because
he was knocking her fort over and said, baby, I
don't know if that that doesn't and that's not what.

Speaker 4 (01:08:48):
I was talking about. Pushed them to the ground, far.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
Hit him.

Speaker 4 (01:08:53):
It looked like a car went flying.

Speaker 8 (01:08:55):
Do you think you went maybe?

Speaker 4 (01:08:58):
Maybe it was early maybe a wait for that first grade.
I'll wait for that next time.

Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
Right, yeah, yeah, because now she thought, is free reign
against baby brother?

Speaker 13 (01:09:06):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (01:09:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:09:09):
Ye, honestly fork, as she called.

Speaker 1 (01:09:11):
Fork to Fork, but Honestly, when somebody notes your fork down,
it is frustrated.

Speaker 12 (01:09:17):
Oh he is.

Speaker 4 (01:09:18):
Yeah, she worked hard on it, but like he looked
like a carhead.

Speaker 8 (01:09:22):
Right, yeah, that's it. Yeah, you have to watch these.

Speaker 4 (01:09:27):
You're strong, you're stronger, You're a little bigger than he's.

Speaker 1 (01:09:30):
Yeah, you're eventually.

Speaker 10 (01:09:31):
You're in the ninetieth percentile. He's in the tenth percentage.
Yeah right, so let's just add all kinds of layers
on it. Oh wow, but wow, Yeah, the the brawl
things escalated quickly, they do, they sure did.

Speaker 1 (01:09:48):
Uh So we'll be back more of the Rick Birders
show coming up right after this. We have something involved
with hair discrimination. What so hair discrimination now, remember because

(01:10:09):
remember what you have is you have the Europeans started,
and then California sometimes will join in, and the Northeast
will join in. That eventually starts working its way to us.
These stupid things you know. You know now in parts
of Europe, I mean, you can have the police come
to your door because you said something mean. Really yeah, okay.
On social media it's a yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:10:30):
Yeah, they're arresting like multiple people every day.

Speaker 1 (01:10:34):
Yeah, it's crazy for mean, mean things on it. Guess
to decide what's mean. Well, that's a good point.

Speaker 4 (01:10:40):
Even reposting a joke you can get in trouble for
in the UK.

Speaker 1 (01:10:43):
So now in Pennsylvania, hair discrimination is now elie hair. Yeah. Right,
here we go.

Speaker 10 (01:10:50):
Yeah, And this is you're gonna hear from Pennsylvania Governor
Josh Shapiro talking.

Speaker 4 (01:10:55):
About it today.

Speaker 18 (01:10:57):
When I sign the Crown Act into law, that will
be the next step in making good on that promise
of bringing about real freedom for all Pennsylvanians.

Speaker 17 (01:11:12):
This public policy campaign is my brainchild and a nationwide
effort I have led since twoenty eighteen. Determining it was
necessary to change the law to help redress the long
standing and problematic practice of racial discrimination in the form
of hair discrimination. I subsequently developed the national legislative, social

(01:11:37):
impact and coalition building strategies for this movement because for
too long, a myopic notion of professionalism and Eurocentric standards
of beauty have perpetuated racial inequity and exclusion.

Speaker 4 (01:11:54):
Too many black.

Speaker 17 (01:11:55):
Children have been suspended and missed what should be value
instruction time because their hair worn in ways that are
aligned with their racial identity have been deemed a violation
of school rules.

Speaker 4 (01:12:10):
Is that happening.

Speaker 13 (01:12:11):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (01:12:12):
Really? Is that happening?

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
What in public? At a private school? But you know
that when you go in. I'm trying to think, so listen,
how many cases of this? What are we talking about?

Speaker 17 (01:12:27):
Is this?

Speaker 1 (01:12:28):
And no one tell me? Yeah, no one can tell.
But but how would your you know, but how would
your hair be suspendable from school? And you know they
used to have dress codes and some of that is
a private school. I mean when private school they come
up and put two foot above you eye morales and
send a note home into your shirt. Yeah you need
a haircut. Yeah, it's not public schools. No, I've never

(01:12:50):
heard of that in a public school as far as hair.
And I could be wrong, but you're right now. I
hate to break this to her. When Greg and I
were little white children growing up in Alabama, they actually
at the private school went as far as to take
two fingers and they would go to your bangs, and
they would go to your hair and if it was
too long, you would be sent home if you didn't
get a haircut. And it really wasn't racially motivated. It

(01:13:12):
was just the standard that that particular school chose, and
we either abided by it or we went to school
somewhere else and then and then there's this this whole
hair thing where no matter what, Adam, I'm not picking
or nothing, watch out you choose that hairdo, which is
fine for here, but you do realize if you were
interviewing for certain jobs, they may look at it that

(01:13:34):
not as kept as they would like.

Speaker 4 (01:13:36):
Yeah, totally.

Speaker 12 (01:13:37):
And you know that.

Speaker 10 (01:13:38):
I actually cut my hair when I graduated from college
when I was looking for jobs because I didn't know
what area of broadcasting I was going to end up
being in.

Speaker 4 (01:13:46):
So yeah, I cut my hair and ended up getting
a job in radio. So that was unnecessary. Could have
kept it rocking, And it's fine, that's.

Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
Sure, but I'm.

Speaker 4 (01:13:55):
Rocked on.

Speaker 1 (01:13:55):
There's certain jobs or people who own certain companies that
if that's their opinion and you want to work for them,
if you come in with something bizarre, they're probably not
going to hire you. Will say they're trying the accused
of people of all that too. Yes, I can, as
far as you know, I can have like a ten
foot tall whatever on top of my head because I've
seen some weird hair dos and you can't. You know,

(01:14:19):
if you're against that, then your racist.

Speaker 6 (01:14:21):
Right, so she's saying, in Pennsylvania, if I go to
a public school system, there's a there's a haircut policy
or something, and if you're out of that, you're sent home.
And she thinks that, well, this is black kids are
being sent home too much?

Speaker 1 (01:14:33):
Because are they white kids that also are getting said?
I don't know, I don't know. I have no idea,
But the bottom line is she's trying to declare that
somehow the hairstyle I want to wear should be allowed,
no matter what if it has something to do with
my ethnicity. I think that's a bit of a stretch.
I mean, I don't know that hair has anything to

(01:14:57):
do with ethnicity. I understand and style of you know,
how you're you know, this type of hair, but hair style.
I mean I wanted to always identify as being a
rocker and and and let my hair roll, but I
just wasn't allowed to. And I even believe it or not,
some of you are going to have a conniption that

(01:15:18):
we even played on a football team that told you
how you wore your hair and if you have no
facial hair, yeah, and if you didn't, you were kicked
off the team.

Speaker 8 (01:15:26):
I hate to break that to people. I know that
breaks hearts out there.

Speaker 1 (01:15:30):
So I'm trying to understand a week how someone's told
that they have to go change their hair type of hair.
I'm not talking about hairstyle, because there are different types
of hair when it comes to ethnicity. But to be
told that you you have to have a certain.

Speaker 4 (01:15:45):
Hair style, yeah, Michelle Obama's racist, Michelle.

Speaker 12 (01:15:49):
No.

Speaker 10 (01:15:49):
Michelle Obama went on quite a few podcasts, a couple
of different live event appearances in which she was complaining
about how, you know, black women have to take the
time to straighten their hair, as.

Speaker 4 (01:16:02):
If they have to. Who's saying that they have to
do that? And here it is, here she is talking
about it, and I don't understand it. I don't understand
it one bit. We're not making you do that.

Speaker 10 (01:16:13):
Nobody's saying that you have to straighten your hair, but
Michelle Obama is acting as if.

Speaker 4 (01:16:17):
We are making it a law or something.

Speaker 11 (01:16:20):
I don't understand hair as women of color, that the
way our hair naturally grows out of our head, it's beautiful.
But if we struggle to make it look like the standard,
that means we are spending thousands of hours and lots
of money straightening out what told naturally curly hair?

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
Who told you to do that?

Speaker 12 (01:16:43):
That?

Speaker 1 (01:16:43):
Don't have? It's not the standard? What are you talking about?
And you could have I could require a neat hairdo
if you weren't for me. But straight hair is not
the standard. No, our country never declared that straight hair
is a standard, no matter of fact. Unfortunately, the camera
man that I accidentally wrote when yesterday had very.

Speaker 8 (01:17:01):
Curly hair, and he was a white guy.

Speaker 1 (01:17:04):
And it was very very curly. And if I'd had
hair as cool as he is, I would have taken.

Speaker 10 (01:17:08):
Over the world.

Speaker 7 (01:17:10):

Speaker 1 (01:17:18):
Okay, So let's let's let's work this out. Okay, because
it's one thing and we and we've already talked about
there's a I created bands and artists that people are
listening to their music, buying their music. Got it. Now
we're getting into a real dicey area. It is now

(01:17:41):
going over into Christian music, faith based songs. We have
an AI generated Christian artist named Solomon Ray does not exist.

Speaker 8 (01:17:53):
Isn't real.

Speaker 1 (01:17:54):
This is weird taking gospel music by storm, topping iTunes
in Billboard with his album Faithful Soul.

Speaker 8 (01:18:06):
This is not a real person.

Speaker 1 (01:18:07):
This person you're looking at right here isn't real. He
doesn't exist, This voice is not real. It's all not real.
So now we have an AI generated person, not a human,
with a soul and a spirit, singing to us about God.

Speaker 8 (01:18:26):
It just I don't know where.

Speaker 1 (01:18:28):
I don't know what to do, I don't know how
to feel. Sure that ain't she boozy? Greg?

Speaker 8 (01:18:40):
Thank you for your weighing in on that. I don't
think so great.

Speaker 1 (01:18:42):
Don't think of him?

Speaker 4 (01:18:43):
No, I don't want to hear it.

Speaker 8 (01:18:46):
Guys.

Speaker 1 (01:18:46):
We got a not real person singing a not real
song and a not real voice with a not real
band behind them.

Speaker 4 (01:18:51):
About God with a not real choir.

Speaker 9 (01:18:53):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:18:54):
Nothing is this?

Speaker 8 (01:18:55):
This is a bit creepy to anybody?

Speaker 1 (01:18:57):
Yes? I mean it's let's hear a little of it.
Who's problems? Give you? Okay? It's pretty good? What's not real?

Speaker 11 (01:19:13):
It is?

Speaker 1 (01:19:13):
I know I was gonna like it, and I was listening.
I don't know how long really get a good feel,
but it does feel shallow? Am I wrong? You know
what I'm saying? Yeah? There doesn't. There's no deep lyric
It doesn't sound like very much.

Speaker 4 (01:19:26):
Here's another, more Gospelly sounding.

Speaker 1 (01:19:28):
Oh listen, I saw this one, and if I if
this was a real person, I would like, yeah, yeah, right,
went on.

Speaker 2 (01:19:39):
Creation sny can't cry.

Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
I'm to praise your name.

Speaker 7 (01:19:45):
And you can use anything.

Speaker 1 (01:19:49):
Know you you didn't like that one.

Speaker 8 (01:19:51):
This isn't real.

Speaker 1 (01:19:53):
So that's somebody are we're going? So now we're gonna
do away with musicians too.

Speaker 6 (01:19:57):
There's a guy that has an Instagram account and he
like if the Beatles were blues or this, and and
and the AI like create the songs.

Speaker 1 (01:20:07):
And I'm worried because I'm like, hey, I don't like
who owned good? Who owns like? I go out because
you don't have to pay this guy because he's not real.
Solomon Ray has no need of anything in house or car. Now,
Solomon Ray no groupies Like I'm going and say today,
which I'm not because I'm too weirded out by it.
I'm going to get Solomon Ray's album. Who am I paying?

Speaker 13 (01:20:31):
You know?

Speaker 9 (01:20:31):
I know?

Speaker 1 (01:20:32):
Here's the company that does it? Is it just like
publishing of anything? I created them in some publishing place
says that's pretty good, good job.

Speaker 4 (01:20:40):
Here's the real guy that made it.

Speaker 10 (01:20:41):
Here's Solomon Ray, the computer voice that sang it hmm,
So this guy's getting a check for creating this.

Speaker 6 (01:20:49):
Now, the last time we discussed this, it was another
AI song where and we saw where some of these
sites that you can go to to create your song.
There's like a free version, there's this version, there's different latters,
and then there's like a professional version or something where
you can pay a fee and then you can you almost.

Speaker 1 (01:21:09):
Purchase the rights to go. Okay, now I can do whatever. Okay,
because there's no talent to this. I want everybody to
know this. The lyrics. I guess if you could do
good lyrics that maybe there's talent there. What you're telling
them the lyrics, Well, you can go. Let me tell
you this because I use AI for jingles and stuff
like that, because I don't really care about that. Yeah,

(01:21:30):
and it's an inexpensive way to have some cool theme
songs and stuff like that.

Speaker 8 (01:21:35):
So I don't have a problem with that. But so
I will just tell you though that I can create.

Speaker 1 (01:21:42):
All I'd have to put in is like I want
this lyric, this lyric, this lyric, and it rolls me
out about five or six versions in about sixty to
ninety seconds. There's no talent to it at all, and
so you know, other than I guess if I put

(01:22:03):
in the lyrics the way I want them. We use
some of the AI generated intros. Some of them aren't,
some are because honestly, it just is a simple way
to keep fresh. They don't cost anything. And honestly, for
jingles and Goof and off songs there there're plenty good.

(01:22:25):
You know what about the dog was created by somebody
by AI. It's it works that. That's almost like I
wish it's kind of where they'd stay. I do feel
bad for the people that you're living was making jingles
and things like that, because this is you're done. Yeah,
there's no need for it. When when someone as goofy
as me can make mucho jingles, oh yeah and whatever

(01:22:46):
in very little time at no cost, you're kind of done.
But I just don't like when it tries to replace
the spirit and the soul of songwriters and artist. It
just feels and now you're getting over into praise and
worship music that humans are supposed to be.

Speaker 8 (01:23:07):
Praising God, and now a non human.

Speaker 1 (01:23:11):
It just seems a little lost.

Speaker 8 (01:23:13):
And maybe I'll settle into it, but it just feels
all wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:23:16):
Right now.

Speaker 8 (01:23:16):
I mean it just of course.

Speaker 1 (01:23:18):
You look, I've seen a lot of human beings, right
praise and worship songs that are really blasphemous and horrible theology,
so it can happen with humans too.

Speaker 10 (01:23:26):
Christopher Jermaine Townsend. I'm sorry, Rick, go ahead, Christopher Jermaine Townsend.

Speaker 4 (01:23:31):
That's the guy.

Speaker 10 (01:23:32):
The picture I showed earlier is the individual behind Solomon Ray,
the AI soul singer. He defended himself on his personal
Instagram count account saying this is this work is just
an extension of my creativity, said the real person, Christopher
Jermaine Townsend, about the AI Christian artist Solomon Ray.

Speaker 1 (01:23:50):
Yeah. Somebody said, Rick is ken Osborne real?

Speaker 13 (01:23:53):
He is.

Speaker 1 (01:23:55):
Yeah, he's a human and he's real. And and then
we do have two intros that are mister Lucky song,
so we're all real. Uh So we have a combo.

Speaker 7 (01:24:04):

Speaker 8 (01:24:12):
Speaking directly to you.

In the house.

Speaker 1 (01:25:49):

We'll talk through it noon Central, one o'clock eastern on
the YouTube channel. Archive coming out not too long after
we're done if that doesn't if the live option doesn't
work for you, and it'll be on the podcast channel
and also the YouTube channel. So, Greg, I understand we
have an update on the bed doc riders. I'll tell
you what is happening. You're scared, Greg, You've got to
do something. I'm getting scared. They're not hurting anything except

(01:26:37):
still in Lisa's pillows. Right, yeah, but that's okay. She
don't mind. She really don't you know how she is?

Speaker 8 (01:26:43):
Are you concerned?

Speaker 1 (01:26:44):
But I've been looking at a picture. Right it was
taken at about six in the morning, someday this week.
I'm looking at one, two, three, four, Greg. Five. We're
showing it now. Seven dogs, Greg, and two of them
are mind. The group is growing.

Speaker 8 (01:27:02):
Have you got the pointer?

Speaker 6 (01:27:03):
Greg?

Speaker 1 (01:27:04):
The group is growing. One if you'll look, is a puppy.

Speaker 4 (01:27:07):
You got a dog pound, Greg's that's the view.

Speaker 1 (01:27:10):
That's my driveway. I'm I'm what I'm afraid of is
right now. They're scared of me. Yeah, when I come out,
they leave. They're getting afraid. They're gonna get comfortable and
think they're gonna live with they got they're building numbers.
Got mister buddy there there. They can't see them. Greg.

Speaker 8 (01:27:26):
Start off with two midnight riders.

Speaker 1 (01:27:28):
Three three, and it would drop to two every now
and then. But and they've come back with more reckon.
I'll show you the third from the left down the puppy. Go,
that's mister buddy. That's mister buddy. Right there, go to
your left. That's an original. That's an original. And then
over here, the one with the tan spots on the
all the way to the right is original. Not those

(01:27:50):
who are not original. No, And I think yeah, and
the middle and I think that that little one that
that's its mama beside him because she stays with four
or five dollars three originals. Now again, my concern is,
you know they they steal pillows and stuff like that. Fine,

(01:28:11):
but I don't want them piling up at the house
thinking that's where they live. That's what I'm now. Right now,
they run off and this was, like I said, about
six in the morning. I think at least it took this.
But and then when I leave sometimes at two thirty
in the morning, they'll be not that group, but they'll
be two maybe the original. Anybody claiming these dogs, no,
I mean nobody. They go back home. I don't see

(01:28:33):
them all the time, so whoever they are doesn't miss them.
If they I don't know who they belong to. Tell
you what I'm concerned about. I don't have that many
close neighbors to have that many dogs that can come
to me. How about this, I'm concerned, Greg, they could
be building a pack. It looks like it, doesn't it
it does, And watch them pile up on my front
board or worse.

Speaker 4 (01:28:51):
Greg, you own seven dogs at least.

Speaker 1 (01:28:53):
Now, No, look at them. They're huge, they are comfortable,
and they're big guys. Great, let me chase something, buddy,
don't know what the thing the meddal guy's tail stuck out.
He's little, great, little nervous about it. I don't know
that there is more of a white trash move. I'm
telling them to have a house as nice as yours
and have a bunch seven straight out baggering around everywhere.

(01:29:14):
Those all you have to stay.

Speaker 8 (01:29:16):
I'm in trouble. You can't let rednecks have money, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:29:20):
I mean, we don't. We just don't know how to
have it right. I mean, so I need to know
the plug. What if they all decide to stay?

Speaker 8 (01:29:28):
Look at them now?

Speaker 1 (01:29:28):
Get that all right, Greg, let's say this that's happening.
Thanksgiving is here, Thanksgiving's here, gets tomorrow. Yeah, I mean
the grand kids a lie.

Speaker 4 (01:29:38):
That's what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:29:39):
You've got grandkids come in and we're gonna have the
dogs running everywhere. Well, right now, there's there gets spooed.
They don't stay if me or Lisa comes out, of
course she needs stay away from them because she'll have
them adopted before it's over. Wait till they shall smell
all that food. That's true too. But right now, but
what I'm saying is, as they test the fence. As
they test the fence, more comfortable they get. The numbers
are some reason growing because everybody about, Hey, you got problems.

(01:30:01):
Still don't know what that pilly is that they're drug around.
That they got the picture made with three days after
they stole it, So we have We were saying the
Midnight Riders have grown by two. Two new dogs. Yeah,
that have joined them in not writers. Yeah, by the way,
I didn't the original three a little bigger than I thought. Yeah, no,
it's not small.

Speaker 4 (01:30:21):
Had they tried to eat Buddy's food or.

Speaker 1 (01:30:23):
No, they hadn't come around. They're closed now that that's
in the garage.

Speaker 4 (01:30:28):
So I've got some video of Greg interacting.

Speaker 1 (01:30:30):
They have drank out of the water bowl. They have
drank out of the water Lisa claim Sett.

Speaker 10 (01:30:36):
Actually Lisa sent me video of Greg interacting with Oh good,
it's the Neighborhood Dogs audio.

Speaker 1 (01:30:41):
And video here here is.

Speaker 4 (01:30:42):
Yeah, Oh darn it, just it just it just clicked
me to another video. That's great, Chris, really.

Speaker 1 (01:30:50):
It's good.

Speaker 4 (01:30:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:30:51):
I didn't know had advertising, so I know you Christmas story. Yeah,
when he claimed that those dogs ignored everybody on earth

(01:31:11):
except his dad. Greg, you are mister your bumpus, Yes, Rick,
they're taking over. Now. I'm starting to get concerned. You
get we got bumpus living next to it is time
to get concerned, I think you. So you right up
and down that road a lot. You don't see him
on anybody else's property. No, but they they live somewhere
because they go home, they do, but they just go property. Yeah,

(01:31:34):
or they're up corner with that pillow.

Speaker 8 (01:31:37):
So here's the question.

Speaker 1 (01:31:38):
And then regards the puppy in there, and they're one.

Speaker 4 (01:31:40):
Of them, ye, scrappy will start naming them because they're
here's the question.

Speaker 8 (01:31:46):
Do all the midnight writers belong to the same people?

Speaker 1 (01:31:49):
And they like?

Speaker 8 (01:31:50):
These people just keep adding dogs. They've added two more?
Are the individual dogs that come from individual places?

Speaker 1 (01:31:57):
I think so? Or at least a couple may come
from one place. But you're right, I don't like that
one with the little one. I don't know where they
came from. And Buddy can't be snobby. That's how he arrived.
He was astray, so he can't turn his nose up
at him. Really, she ain't enough sense to figure anything out.
Look at her, you can tell she ain't right. Oh yeah, yeah,
she's she's a she's what she is. We'll also put

(01:32:21):
her in the category of grade shoes special.

Speaker 10 (01:32:24):
I think mister Buddy's marking and looking at that guy,
the other guy, I mean like he is seeing it now, Yes,
and it looks like the one on the far rights taking.

Speaker 1 (01:32:34):
Notice as well. Hey buddy, nervous. Look he means business. Yeah,
he don't fight them, but he don't like.

Speaker 4 (01:32:39):
Them, does he does?

Speaker 1 (01:32:40):
He like run up to teach and you know how
to get stiff down there inside each other? Yeah, you
do the original three they play, they'll tackle you. You
saw the one the video today is walking through and
authentic collapses on the ground, starts rolling around. Yes, they're
having a ball.

Speaker 4 (01:32:55):
Because there they live there. Greg, you have seven dogs.

Speaker 1 (01:32:58):
Now you have having dogs. And they love that big
open open out there. They love it and you can
look at them. They look healthy. So there's somebody's dogs.

Speaker 8 (01:33:08):
They are somebody's dogs.

Speaker 1 (01:33:09):
Look at them. They're not skinning bones or nothing like that.
They belong to us. Does anybody know in pleasant valleys?
Are these your dogs that keep going over in there?
And to be honest, they're not bothering me. They're fine
as long as they don't try to stay. You know,
the relationship I have with them now is fine. I
hope they don't pick an alpha. Yeah, I know if
they don't. If they don't, say as far as people
going hey keeople, no, I don't care. They're not bothering

(01:33:31):
me as blow as they're not mine, as on someone
else is feeding them and all that. Greg, They're more
than welcome to visit buddy Milly. That's fine, don't I
don't have a problem with that. I want you to know.
But I am curious where they come. Yeah, great, because
they go home somewhere. Expect these these numbers to build. Yeah,
he's gonna sit a picture one day, fifteen of them.
I don't know where that puppy came from. Evidently it's

(01:33:53):
the only one left from the litter yep. I think
that one beside us its mother because she stays real
close to Would you be okay if Milly ran by
off with him I left, you wouldn't be sad?

Speaker 10 (01:34:02):
Now, Greg, you're like the dog whispers Caesar Milan with
his pack of dogs.

Speaker 1 (01:34:07):
I'm gonna put them all in the lease like he does,
roller skate with him. Can I tell you what would
be funny to me if I One day we got

Oh is that tonight?

Speaker 6 (01:44:03):
The first four episodes of the final season of Stranger
Things Kids hits Netflix tonight at eight pm Central. So
everybody's all in a tizzy. And that brings you what
brings me? This is the light, the final one.

Speaker 1 (01:44:18):
I don't know which one it is, but the kids
I know, but they're all grown.

Speaker 4 (01:44:22):
They gotta be.

Speaker 1 (01:44:23):
I mean, yeah, I have no idea the storyline on
this one. But you know what, don't you know what?

Speaker 13 (01:44:28):
Greg?

Speaker 1 (01:44:29):
And this already works. Stranger Things the musical. Oh yeah, yeah, wait,
I'm all about dancing with Stranger Things.

Speaker 8 (01:44:37):
By the way, I've actually lived that. Okay, So so well, wow.

Speaker 6 (01:44:46):
Night bringing in Stranger Things, music, and Macy's Thanksgiving Day
Parade all into one conversation one conversation. So now we
have Stranger Things.

Speaker 1 (01:44:56):
Slide it, right, over here. Okay, next up Foreigner, Oh yeah,
corner Foreigner, Cold.

Speaker 4 (01:45:02):
As Ice will in the Sacrifice.

Speaker 1 (01:45:05):
We're not talking about the band now because you know
there's no original members here.

Speaker 6 (01:45:09):
He goes nor will say that right like Kelly Hansen
is going to be singing.

Speaker 1 (01:45:17):
Okay, that's there, you go.

Speaker 8 (01:45:20):
Because what are you talking about? What do they own?

Speaker 6 (01:45:22):
Well, I'm trying to get through it. So Cold as
Ice is in the next in this new Stranger Things.
So Cold as Ice is going to be on The
Stranger Things Float, and they're going to actually perform live
on the Thanksgivings, not Foreigner.

Speaker 1 (01:45:40):
On the on these he called the band.

Speaker 6 (01:45:44):
Foreigner will be performing Cold his Ice on The Stranger
Things Float and tomorrow's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and The
Stranger Things the final season comes out tonight.

Speaker 1 (01:45:57):
Okay, even though even though that's not the band Foreigner,
it's it's an impost Craig, you we got well, a tribute.
Let me use a different word. It's a tribute. Mick
Jones still owns the group for him. Think he plays
with him.

Speaker 8 (01:46:09):
Every now and then did he cut out Graham?

Speaker 1 (01:46:11):
Yeah? Oh yeah, so and he'll come out every he
cut out Lou Grant? Can he just cut him out?
I didn't leave on his own years ago? Baby, I
don't know what some issues, but he's on Mick Jones
on the one left.

Speaker 6 (01:46:22):
Apparently, Cold His Ice is one of three songs that's
been featured on previous episodes of the series. And and
so anyway, they're they're performing on the float in the
mask Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. So I started looking at
the Macy's Thanksgiving Day.

Speaker 1 (01:46:35):
By the way, what's your favorite foreigner song? Speedy, I
like Cold His Ice? Okay, that's convenient. Yeah, funny, that
worked out. That worked right out for you. I mean,
I mean, you know he likes Google box Hero. Don't
you google? Don't you Google?

Speaker 8 (01:46:50):
I'm not don't you google Foreigners?

Speaker 1 (01:46:53):
All right, So the sacrifice I want to know what
love is is good? Oh? Oh, we don't get great
started on that. I know he hates it, you know,
said ruined the band band left not long. No, no,
let me tell you what I ruin it. Then they
came out with Thing you Will, Thing you Will that
had never come out with that first yesterday wasn't any good. No,

(01:47:13):
it wasn't hated that take me back to Double Vision
and all that. Who don't like Dirty White Boy the
entire society now, Greg, Yeah, it's well, you know, bring
everybody out there. That's true. Right when they wrote it,
it wasn't like that, all right.

Speaker 4 (01:47:28):
I like Urgent as a kid, I liked I hated Urgent.
I liked hot Blooded as a kid.

Speaker 1 (01:47:34):
I love. But we waited in the band I was in,
I got tired of right, and don't sing that for you, mama, No, no,
what about feels like the first time you love that?
That's a great that's a good reaction. That's a good
that's real. That's a good one. When we saw some
concerts where they opened up with remember that, how we
on Blue Monday like it too?

Speaker 4 (01:47:52):
It be blue Morning, Blue Day, Rick, I caught.

Speaker 1 (01:47:55):

overthinking it. Did it much be about that.

Speaker 6 (01:48:07):
Look, Foreigner was my first concert I ever went to.
It was in Blocks in Mississippi, first one I ever
went to.

Speaker 8 (01:48:13):
I wonder what to it?

Speaker 1 (01:48:14):

Speaker 6 (01:48:21):
That?

Speaker 7 (01:48:21):

Speaker 1 (01:48:22):
Probably Remember what I said before? Greg and I are

problem with that, we'll refund your money now you can

Speaker 1 (01:51:16):
Talk about it, das mama.

Speaker 4 (01:51:17):
No, let's not make crap up.

Speaker 1 (01:51:18):
No, it was Debbie was flirting with Speedy big time.
Sure wasn't her mother. It wasn't her mother. Her mother
was smarting with Baba. I'm talking about Debbie flirted with
Speedy straight up, uncomfortably. And this said Jake, you love.

Speaker 7 (01:51:40):
Joke.

Speaker 1 (01:51:40):
Chapter forty. For those of you that I'm sorry we
had this cancel it last week. We're gonna we're gonna
try to get that for you today because you know
a lot of you got'll be riding a big, great
opportunity to listen if you don't catch it live. But
you can't catch it live on the YouTube channel at
noon since you're one o'clock eastern, all right, So starting
this hour, a couple of things come things. So Jason Whitlock,

(01:52:03):
who is a Blaze TV brother number two here adlers,
So he he's on the Sage Steel podcast, is that right?
So he's talking about kind of like the world. You know,
as Jason talks about a lot, you know, we're all
taking themselves way too serious, way too serious. And he

(01:52:26):
starts this, and I remember that Bubb and I talked
about this, you know, for for years too, as y'all know,
Bubb and I both you know, had a little weight
about us. And and I remember how goofy it was
anytime somebody was angry with us and they thought that
they were like really being cutting edge to go after
us about our weight, And we were like, do you

(01:52:46):
honestly think that you're the first person ever say something?
Uh where I couldn't care less. I mean what, you know,
we're we're aware of it, you know, we're not, as
James Gregory said, I mean, we're heavy, but we're not blind.

Speaker 8 (01:53:00):
Uh even yeah, the same thing fat.

Speaker 1 (01:53:05):
So anyway, Jason Whitlock is talking about that he gets
some fat jokes, and what this is about is, you know,
the President. We played it way back at the beginning
of the show if you missed it, he said he
wasn't going to call the governor of Illinois. Ye, he
wasn't going to call him a fat slab, right, Okay,

(01:53:25):
he decided not. He decided not to call him a
fat slab. And course people are losing their mind how
mean spirited that was and all that. But here's Jason
Whitlock talking about that, you know, his own struggles with
his weight and and how that's just kind of been
who he is and he didn't take it himself too
serious or get bothered by fat joke.

Speaker 9 (01:53:43):
So here he goes, I've been at this for thirty
plus years. I've been controversial, I've been despised, and the
best you got is a fat joke. That's a high
praise for me. Beat me up about Jeremy Lynn. Something
better than, you know, a fat joke, Because I know
I'm fat.

Speaker 1 (01:54:00):
What are you trying to do to work on it.
You said, you're I.

Speaker 9 (01:54:04):
Told you you and your husband you got to come
by my house.

Speaker 1 (01:54:06):
You can see my home gym.

Speaker 9 (01:54:08):
Really, you can look at my refrigerator, Tiffany, Am I
serious about it? I'm very serious about Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:54:14):
You what.

Speaker 12 (01:54:16):
You cook?

Speaker 1 (01:54:17):
That's great, and it is. It is a commitment to
a complete and total life change.

Speaker 9 (01:54:23):
Yes, now again I struggle, obviously, Yeah, you know, it's
a roller coaster. But this is mostly I've done well,
but I clearly need to do better.

Speaker 1 (01:54:34):
What's your goal right now?

Speaker 9 (01:54:35):
Come April, I.

Speaker 7 (01:54:37):
Need to be two hundred and sixty pounds. That's about
seventy pounds from right.

Speaker 1 (01:54:40):
Now, ten point one two pounds per month as much
as I work out. That's easy work. He doesn't look
that heavy to me. No, he hides it, of course,
he's you know, sitting down. But yeah, wow, so his
goal is to sixty Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:54:55):
Yeah, he was a lot larger, even in this old
picture here. I didn't realize how much larger.

Speaker 8 (01:55:00):
Yeah, I didn't realize he was ever that big.

Speaker 1 (01:55:02):
He was big.

Speaker 4 (01:55:02):
He's a big boy now, but he was even bigger
than well.

Speaker 1 (01:55:05):
But I like his attitude and I will one of
the things I will say, and same situation with me.
And I love that he said basically what we're saying.
I'm just trying to do a little better. And that
Tammy isn't smaller than him Greg thousand pounds. Anytime we
go to wait the thousand pounds sisters find their way
in here, don't they. And she went from like eight
hundred or whatever. But but he's not that impressive. Yeah,

(01:55:28):
he's not motivated by I don't want to be I
don't want fat jokes. Yeah, because that he's he's he's
he's bigger than that. I mean, if he's not worried
about it, he's doing it because he thinks it's the
best thing to do for his health or for whatever.
And that's the point, you know, you don't you can't
take yourself that serious. I never, I can honestly say,

(01:55:51):
at my largest I never. I never was in my
house crying because somebody made a heavy joke about me. Yeah.
I just didn't care, because you know, I had enough
confidence in myself to not really be bothered. As he
pointed out someone's lack of creativity that couldn't come up

(01:56:11):
with anything other than a fat job. You know. I
remember Bubba and I talking about if you're if your
first reaction to not liking us is calling us fat rednecks,
you're so late to the game. I mean, try something
more creative. You can do better than that. And but
so yeah, I understand, and I think we need a
little more of that. I think we're becoming we're we're

(01:56:33):
we're going too far with it. We're either completely bothered
by it. I can't take it, or we've gone too
far the other way going. I'm going to see how
fat I can be and not care at all, you know.
And and and I don't think that's whise either, just
because it's not it's not a good road to be
on health wise, you know. And it will affect your life.

(01:56:55):
It makes your life harder. Sure, my life, even though
I still need to lose more and still working on it,
my life was a lot harder at three hundred and three,
three hundred and four, whatever I was than it is
that at two thirty five, a lot harder. Everything was harder.

Speaker 8 (01:57:14):
So you know, there's right.

Speaker 1 (01:57:16):
Well, I tell you the one thing, the first time thing,
the first thing I ever noticed I noticed is when
Sherry and I went on a vacation pants fitting. And
this was real simple. We went on a vacation and
where we were I was kind of expecting this boat
we were going to get on for a little cruise
around the you know where we were. I forget where

(01:57:36):
it was. And I thought they would drop a ladder
down or some steps for me to get in the boat. Yeah,
and they didn't. And you know, the boat was kind
of sitting there, you know, up up against the pier,
and you know, there was some waves and it was
moving and you you know, and in the past, I
couldn't have got in that boat.

Speaker 5 (01:57:55):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:57:55):
And I remember, I remember, I remember, I remember throwing
my leg up on the side and just bouncing right
into it. And I was like, wow, that was that
was that was a lot easier. I didn't even think
about how something like that. You know, I was hampered
by that all the time. And and like you said,
you know, clothes trying to fit better and all that

(01:58:16):
kind of stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:58:16):
So going to the bathroom and an airplane, well.

Speaker 1 (01:58:20):
That's still a little snug. I don't know who they
built that, Yeah, that bathroom for I don't have any idea.
And of course, you know, and and I don't know
if Jason's on this. The one thing that finally got
to me, and and first of all, never never worrying
about the fat jokes and all that, never taking myself
that serious. But the thing that I finally that worked

(01:58:40):
for me, and I'm still fighting it, like you said,
it's it's a it's a battle, is that when I
realized that the way I was living was actually sinful.
I was a glutton I was I was overeating, I
was being reckless with my health, and I was not
being a very good example of a man of God.

(01:59:01):
You know, I'm not trying about being legalistic. I'm not
talking about there's some you know, holy bmi. You know,
if you're six two and you don't weigh one eighty,
you go into hell, you know whatever. I'm not talking
about that. I'm just talking about for some people, their
their their weight has nothing to do with the lack
of self control. It has nothing to do with gluttony.
Mine did, so you know I could. I didn't have

(01:59:23):
a medical excuse or a medication excuse. Mine mine was.
You know, you overeat, and you know your sedentary, you
know you don't exercise, and you know you're not taking
care of yourself, and I don't. That's that's disrespectful to
your wife, that's disrespectful to your kids. And by the way,
it's a lack of self control to your the God

(01:59:44):
you serve. And I think God was like convicted me.
It's limited how I can use you. I don't know
how you're ever going to stand up front of men
and talk to them about self control when you don't
have any. And so in this area of your life,
this air of your life, like we do about all
the time, that message where you know when even when
it comes to repentance, sometimes you got your holding a

(02:00:05):
gunny sack and Jesus says, repentance, give me all your sin.
You're like, I'll give you some of it. And what
I kept in that sack for a long time was
justification of gluttony and lack of self control. I kept
it in the sack for a long time. And what
Jesus is saying is I need to hold back. I don't, don't, don't, don't,
don't hang on to any of it. And I hung

(02:00:25):
onto that for a long time, even after redemption. I
mean I hung onto it for a long time. So
it feels better to not have to try to justify
that anymore. Yeah, you know, so that was that was
that was kind of thing. So so we so hopefully,
uh you can you know, take that for what it's worth.

(02:00:45):
But at the end of the day, the main thing
is don't let people bother you by what they think
of you. It's important that you know who you are
and have confidence because if nothing else, your creator deems
you have great value. No matter what people think about you,
We'll be back, do you. I think I think we

(02:01:09):
all got on the same same page, didn't we. If
right now, somebody walked in they were in charge of Thanksgiving.
We don't know how they got this role, but they're
in charge of Thanksgiving, and they walked in and said,
we're not leaving here. I mean, they're running in here,
your meals out here. We're not leaving here without either
of the turkey or the dressing. You can only have
one mm to me, it's dressing. I get to keep

(02:01:31):
you going to let them have the dressing, or you
get to keep the dressing. I keep the dressing. You
can have the turkey. I love I love the turkey,
but if you if I can't have both. But if
they snug some turkey pieces in the dressing.

Speaker 8 (02:01:45):
By the way, where are on you?

Speaker 1 (02:01:46):
Where are you on this little on this little bit
of a mind meld. And uh the the I make
dressing and I put chicken in it. You ever picked
up on that I have. It's not I've seen it. Yeah,
and it's not turkey. You would think, Okay, so I'm
eating turkey and it's good. It is fantastic, I think, Yeah,
I think she I think Shery's mama when she was
still with us, when she made it, she put little

(02:02:07):
pieces of chicken in it. She did, I know she did.
And it was really really good. It was really really good.
Now you stuffing people, come on now, yeah, I mean
I don't like and then we have the do you like?
All right, let's just do this, Okay, let's do let's
do this.

Speaker 8 (02:02:25):
And we've learned about the dress from up in Carolina, Kentucky.

Speaker 1 (02:02:30):
A turkey.

Speaker 8 (02:02:31):
I don't have any problem with that.

Speaker 1 (02:02:32):
I do look at that. I do have a problem.
And it's been a bit of a bit of a
bone of contention, A little bit of a bone of
contention because you know, anytime and you got to think
about this and some of you young people out there,
I want you to think about this, Okay, when when
you get married, you're gonna marry not just a person.

(02:02:55):
You're bringing a new bunch of folks in. Yeah, okay.
And and and I especially at the holidays. Now, look,
I know I can only speak for the men here, okay.
And I think I can speak for the men with
all the confidence in the world. When when she's so fine,
you don't even see the family. You don't see the

(02:03:16):
family that's coming in. She's just so fine, that's all
you can see. And and you you, you know, you
spend some time with all these people, but you don't
know much about them, and you think to yourself, well,
she's so fine. I don't even care about these other
people because she's just fine. And then all of a sudden,
they start asking you to interact with these other people,
and you're like, oh, wow, I did I really, I

(02:03:37):
really didn't think some of this through. And you know,
sometimes you can run up on something. You know most
of it you can manage. You know, there's different degrees
of the new people. And speaking of course, the family
you're marrying into, and but they will be involved in
your life. You really need to take note of that,
and she is still fine. But you start seeing them

(02:04:00):
more and more the longer, the longer you're married. Yeah,
you don't notice them when she's just fine and you're
coming by to pick her up. You just don't notice it. Okay,
because she's just too fine. They make that right, you're
just too fine. And but but then, like so I
do have they're not my in laws there, they're one

(02:04:21):
of my sons in laws. And they're wonderful people. Okay,
wonderful some of some of the best, some of the
best people. I said, No, you can make a bad decision, butch,
you can also make a good Yeah, hear you better
hurry and get there. And these are wonderful people. Sounds
like a counter family. Okay, let me tell you what
I'm well, let me sure where I'm getting to. No, no, no,
I was talking about more other situations.

Speaker 8 (02:04:40):
But I will say this because this, You're not gonna
know what I'm gonna say.

Speaker 13 (02:04:45):
Next.

Speaker 1 (02:04:46):
They're stuffing people. Oh, I say, where, you got a
little tied to Indiana? So I'm gonna eat stuffing in
the a little tied to Indiana. And I heard the
phrase they prefer stuffing. Oh, Wow, Okay, Well, I just
wish my son had maybe checked on that. So dressing.

(02:05:08):
Dressing is not even wonderful people wonderful people. This is
an issue because stuffing is not better than dressing. It's
just not. I'm out in stuffing on a different day
while I was gonna have not on the day. That's
what I was going to ask you. Are we okay
with stuffing showing up? I'm sure it's good on a
random day. It looks good as long as it don't

(02:05:29):
replaced stressing. Appearance is good. It is, But but I'm
like you though on like that, what Adam just put
up and had the what was that turkey breast? And
it's piled in it that way? Yeah, but on Thanksgiving Day,
I gotta have dressing. All right, here's a Northerner. You know,
we have a lot, you know, people listening to this everywhere. Now, Yeah,
here's a Northerner. Would you guys please put one of

(02:05:50):
your favorite dressing recipes on Rick's Picks.

Speaker 8 (02:05:53):
We have never had it. Really, Oh, that's Orthers don't
need it.

Speaker 1 (02:05:58):
That's just so off. All of them are stuffing people.
I didn't expect Indiana to be stuffing no, but and
it threw me a little bit. But yeah, I don't mind.
Stuffing is an option off the holidays. But I can't
remember any time I've ever well, I could eat it
at Christmas morning. I couldn't dressing if I had to
do it, if they said you must have it on

(02:06:18):
a holiday, I would, it would be christ You know
what stuffing is to me, I'm at some sort of restaurant.
It didn't work out for me. And I'm like, they
have their claiming. They have Thanksgiving. Like one time we
tried to have Thanksgiving in London. Oh you talk about weird,
I bet and they and they tried to like it
was cute what they tried to do. They're like, oh,
you're Americans, We're going to give you Thanksgiving, you know.

(02:06:40):
And then there's a little bone of contention about the revolution.
But anyway, so.

Speaker 8 (02:06:45):
And then you look there it is.

Speaker 1 (02:06:46):
There's stuffing. There it is, And you can't say when
somebody tries that hard word a dressing, you know, and
what turkey little dry.

Speaker 4 (02:06:58):
This map is not going to help the Look at
how small the dressing area.

Speaker 1 (02:07:03):
It's a smaller world is stuff.

Speaker 10 (02:07:07):
It's not even the whole sec Texas is out, Florida's
out stuffing, Yeah, dressing according to this ge survey. Wow,
they say it's you got Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, and
then whatever state is above Tennessee.

Speaker 1 (02:07:23):
What are you serious?

Speaker 6 (02:07:24):
You know whatever, whatever that might be in Kentucky, buddy,
let me say something about this is wrong because Florida panhandle.

Speaker 1 (02:07:31):
It's okay. Don't you pull Florida into stuff Yeah, yeah,
that's kind of South Alabama.

Speaker 4 (02:07:36):
Let me say something about stuffing. Even if you're if
you're making stuffing, you don't need to be putting it
in the bird.

Speaker 1 (02:07:42):
I'm sorry, I don't.

Speaker 4 (02:07:45):
They stuff it in the bird. Those two things.

Speaker 10 (02:07:48):
Those things cook at different rates at different times. Cook
the cook them stuffing perfectly, cook the turkey perfectly. Don't
cook them at try to do it at the same
time it does egg or something like.

Speaker 1 (02:08:01):
They do them cows, right, I know what you mean. Deep.

Speaker 8 (02:08:07):
Oh, it's all yes, And we gotta have all with you.

Speaker 1 (02:08:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:08:10):
By the way, I gotta have gravy too.

Speaker 1 (02:08:13):
I want the gravy.

Speaker 4 (02:08:14):
Gravy. I'd rather gravy than all what we're talking about.

Speaker 1 (02:08:17):
I want gravy on the dressing and the turkey and
ghiblet is great. But if you just have a brown
gravy that, hey, making the gravy can be stressful because
you got to have a stir.

Speaker 4 (02:08:29):
You gotta have somebody moving.

Speaker 1 (02:08:31):
See that stuff and looks like I would like it,
but I just can't replace the dressing. I just can't
do it. Rick Birders Show on screen phone calls, go ahead.
