Come on, come on, Andy, can you get to the wheel?
Between you and the wheel is when Andy Andrews he
returns these little stories I'm looking forward to, you know
a little.

Speaker 7 (02:14):
Andy.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Well, we started talking and Andy's schedule is he was
being very very gracious because guys, he lives on the
Gulf Coast and he drives here. He drives here every
time he does it and then turns around drives back.
Didn't he shouldn't he say something? I mean, go to
the vulcan or something he used to do something, get

(02:35):
go over to the Oak Mountain State Park, walk around
something by the ducks.

Speaker 8 (02:39):
By the way, I got honey for him in his
coffee today. Oh you well, for weeks I've been worried
about it.

Speaker 7 (02:48):
How about Sherry and I went went.

Speaker 8 (02:49):
To dump that clump or whatever it was in the
coffee that time. I forty. I don't mean this because
the person was very nice. But you know, we're in marketing,
so I guess we can't turn it off. And we're
always marketing something, including the show. And so the person
that was there in charge of the state park, the

(03:10):
person you pay your money to to go in.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
You may never met him because I doubt you pay.
But but anyway, they yeah, you know, the job there
is to kind of get us all fired up for
our experience, and you know, and she couldn't have been nicer,
but just a slight marketing. So we come up and
you know, uh, Cherry and I were like, it was afternoon.
We were in the car and Cherry's like, I don't

(03:32):
I'm not really ready to go home yet. Why don't
we just I said, I tell you what, Let's hit
the state park and look the fall colors. And she
was like, oh, that's great, that'd be great. And so
we pull in and hello, how are you? And then
did you ever been here before? I said, Oh, we
just lived right over here. We don't live far from
the park. I said, we were coming from a lot. Okay,
So and anything speedy doesn't know the trails. The thing

(03:56):
speedy doesn't want to hear ten dollars, which I know
for two five apiece five. But if you can't just
go walk, how about this paid to get in? Really?

Speaker 8 (04:07):
But if you save your receipt from your golf round
and show it the next time, you don't have to pay.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
By the way, I got my parking ticket validated somewhere too,
not there.

Speaker 9 (04:15):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
And then then I was coming out of the parking deck.
It's still charged me. I thought, I'm validating it. Man,
I didn't pay on the way out. Yeah, but anyway,
that's who cares. And now what got me was when
Sherry was like, well, you need to we need to live.
I said, babe, for three dollars to get out of
here and get back to my life. I'm good. Yeah.
But anyways, so then she says it the person at
the park, and I thought, I said gonna get I said,

(04:38):
we just gonna check out the fall colors. Oh, you've
kind of missed them. And I went two days ago.
It was really vibrant, but it's almost like they've just
gone away that win. Oh come on, ma'am. And I'm like, well,
thank you can look at them on the ground. You
probably miss it than going and just paid ten bucks.
Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Debbie Downer, it'll probably rain.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Come on, give my ten bucks, right, yeah, forget it.
Let me come, let me see I'm in saber, Bruce.
We can make this turn easy. Got any animals I
can pet? Yeah? Up, I mean do you say that
you are just say, well, we're so glad to have you.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Oh that's what you say.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yes, let you figure it out.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
You probably twist your ankle.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah, don't venture off too far.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
But yeah, died a month ago.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Great, well don't you walk our trail. I hope you
don't get bit by the snake the other guy did. Yeah,
you know he didn't make it. Come on, man five five?
Do you think that was the thing to say?

Speaker 4 (05:40):
No?

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Well, it depends. I mean you do, like straight up,
I do. You're right that thought in your head when.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
You're just going to go enjoy the park. You don't
need that thought in your.

Speaker 8 (05:50):
Mind because to you, if you haven't done it, so
to you, it does look I.

Speaker 7 (05:54):
Think I would have never noticed.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
I don't think I've.

Speaker 8 (05:55):
Ever noticed that you out there every day You're like, oh, boy,
looked better two days ago and was great.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
I don't have nothing compared to I haven't been here
this year, not during the fall. It's real to me.

Speaker 7 (06:07):
You know what made me feel really good?

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Though? She went, I were wait to tell me when
the fall colors were vibrant only a few days ago.

Speaker 7 (06:13):
And you know what you just missed?

Speaker 3 (06:15):
We had a vox seat couple that said, you remember
they were a station and they said, we're thinking about
going Georgia. Yeah, we're thinking about going to Oak Mountain.
And I said, it'll be beautiful out there, And when they win,
it was you were right? Was it not beautiful?

Speaker 10 (06:28):
For all?

Speaker 3 (06:28):
It was beautiful because all my mind now it's in
my mind, I'm going, you know what, not as vibrant
as I thought. It looks vibrant, but maybe it was
more vibrant yesterday that How about that yellow orange little.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
Doll, A lot of leaves on the ground.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
A lot of women. Enough with the wind, yeah, boy so,
but today has wind times on the back of portion,
I mean they went nuts. Yeah, they did take them down, okay.
And speaking of that, we we I saw another person
that lives where I live at lunch yesterday, and it
was that awkward thing because he had like a very

(07:02):
serious meeting going, you could tell. And they set me
really close to him and like we know each other
really well, and and it was like he realized, Rick,
can hear my entire important meeting? And and I didn't know,
and I didn't know what to do. I started like
I couldn't hear it. I mean, I mean ruin you unt, No,
I'm serious. You you ever been to those smallest restaurants.

(07:25):
They're always the smallest restaurants, usually really good food. But
they're going to use every square engine there to get
as many tables in there as they can.

Speaker 11 (07:33):
Probably not a great place to have a meeting, and
their tables are going to be real small to the.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Chairs not comfortable like you and me right now, speeded
those of you that can see how the console is.
I'm closer to him. No, no, see, I would have
to leave. I couldn't. I was in the meeting and
at one time, how about it? No, let me say
that they talked about an investment. I went, I don't know, well,
I'm not sure that's what I would do. They were
talking about financial things.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
You're forgetting about AI or you know whatever.

Speaker 11 (08:02):
Yeah, guys, it is such a problem when I sit
too close to people.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Like really, the only time I go out to eat is.

Speaker 11 (08:08):
When Aaron and I go on like a monthly date,
right or maybe twice a month, once a month. Yeah,
And that moment where they're going to sit you down,
I'm like, all right, I'm either going to have a
good time or I'm going to be trying to ignore
the people right next to me. I have a problem,
and I admit that's my issue, but it's it's a struggle.
It is a struggle for me.

Speaker 7 (08:28):
It is guys.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
I tried every way, and I was by myself because
you know, that's my new thing, and I couldn't stay
out of it.

Speaker 7 (08:34):
I mean I could hear them too good.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
You didn't want to hear it. Let me ask you
this is it is this inside trading. If he said, now,
let me tell your stock I'm really excited about I
wrote it down. Am I allowed to do that? You are?

Speaker 4 (08:47):
That says I'm Yeah, that's how Shaq got into Google.
By the way, he heard good. Yeah, Shaq was eating
or maybe he was in a hotel lobby or something,
but he heard some guys talking about, like, hey, what
are y'all talking about?

Speaker 3 (08:59):
A man check diesels in? I thank you.

Speaker 11 (09:02):
I'm not sure, yes, but I know what you mean.
I know exactly. There were two black ladies sitting next
to my wife because they were talking about that and
their careers. And I hope that the one on the
left really gets gets really it worked out. She's having
some real struggles and her boss not respect her. Her

(09:24):
boss doesn't treat her right right, not like in a
harassment way, but just in a respect and compensation way.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
And I hope that you hope that works out. She
gets it worked out.

Speaker 7 (09:33):
So you got invested, you started being concerned about it.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
I can't ignore that. I can't ignore it.

Speaker 6 (09:39):
Well you can't.

Speaker 7 (09:40):
You almost have to put their plugs in.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Guys, what do you do?

Someone had recommended a restaurant and it's it was really nice,
I mean really nice, which means want to be there.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, very much. When I'm a date, Yeah, you're on
a date. You're almost having to go when I'm in
place like that, if they are, what about when there's
other chairs they could put you in, but they still
stack you on top of people. I'll go, no, I
don't want to sit there. Can I sit here?

Speaker 7 (10:30):

talking about that one where they have a long bench
against the table here a table here, yep, and basically
the same bench belongs to everybody on that.

Speaker 8 (10:46):
That's all I'm going. I cannot stand those I think
they whispered to Terry. I said, we don't belong here.
We're not We're not in their group. I think that

Speaker 4 (10:57):

ask offensive linemen who were way to come in, how
many tackles I'd made on that series? Mainley was always

Speaker 2 (21:25):
All Right, you're turning this.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
All right, I've got to return to text here. Uh then, uh, okay,
we do have a lot going on here. Okay, so
let me let me point you to this. Because we've
been in this situation before. You probably have to Uh.
It may not be you, but it may be you
know someone you love where you know the traditional tub,

(21:56):
the traditional tub uh is can be hazardous. I mean,
how many times have we heard I mean, should I
bring up ace freely? I mean, how many times have
we heard that, you know, somebody that we love, you know,
has a broken hip, a God forbid a head injury,

(22:16):
because those can be very very dangerous broken arm because
they fell in the bathroom. I mean, it's a tough
thing to sometimes admit I really probably should get a
walk in tub or do that for a loved one.

Speaker 7 (22:31):
Well, the people to do that with is safe step.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Walk in tubs. Man, what great people they're out of Tennessee.

sixteen hundred dollars. We're also gonna get you a free
shower package just because you're part of our family here.

Speaker 7 (22:49):
Okay. So here's the other thing too.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Just about any area, any type of bathroom, they go
in and they can transform it, and they usually can
do the work in one day. I prefer that, don't
people working in your home that you kind of want
that to be done and over with and then they'll take,
you know, maybe a place that's a little daunting now
and turn it back into a place of you know, rejuvenation, relaxation,

(23:14):
calmness with just a safe step walking too up. They
look great. There's all kinds of little bells and whistles
you can do too. So go to Rick Burgess Show
dot com under sponsors UH and or you can call
them and then we give you the number. Okay, if

it is, and and so we started talking about the
various and and what is it called some kind of percentage?

Speaker 8 (25:00):
Mentioned this yesterday, but for those just to put it
all in perspective here.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
This one is eighty five. We have a seventy two
I think in there the rick ball.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
Oh, let's start with the seventy and then work our
way up.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
But like, what is a Hershey's or Dove or whatever?
I mean, like if you just want chocolate? Were talking
about their dark versions? Yes, yeah, I said, in forties,
wasn't it.

Speaker 7 (25:22):
Don't you think Adler?

Speaker 4 (25:23):
The standard dark is around fifty percent?

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Okay, okay, So all right, so this is what what? What?
What should I expect to experience here? It's just real,
big boy, it's just so dark. So I was trying
to do better, and Lisa brought that how much of
a bike you need to put that whole square in
your mouth? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (25:41):
Yeah, you got to take a whole square, both of those.
It's the one square.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
Yeah, a dirt tile.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
Oh, I hope you have something to drink? Oh? Sure, anything? Okay,

Speaker 3 (26:06):
Coca? Are we saying coco Coca Coca? I think it's
all right, speedy?

Speaker 7 (26:13):
Are you okay?

Speaker 9 (26:15):
You go?

Speaker 11 (26:17):
Wow?

Speaker 7 (26:18):
Meat that I want to try?

Speaker 11 (26:20):
Is it because it's early and we're so desperate for
anything that's not eat stuff here all the time.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Maybe it's the brand that Lisa got is does she spare?
You wouldn't need to hold bar? Would you? After I eat?
If I wanted something sweet, I could grab a But
it is.

Speaker 7 (26:40):
Guy's terrible.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
I mean it's not I'm physically hurt. Too bad. That's
not enjoyable. There's nothing it's not awful. It's that's terrible. Goodnight,
going whole square?

Speaker 7 (26:54):
Okay, it's oh, there's a there's a saying hang on.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
When you first started, it's okay, just didn't work about
twenty seconds after years, If you know, it's getting but
it's fine.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
The bitter hits you in a second.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
Yeah, you really taste it. I don't enjoy that, and
I don't consider that if MA getting to eat something.
This is almost like a chocolate green for Simmon, exactly
what I'm saying for Simmon. You ever, you never had
a for Simmon. You never had a green for Simon
when you trick somebody into buying it. A big grow
wild on trees.

Speaker 8 (27:26):
Now, if you go to like a farmer's market, trust me,
if you have to have the trees on your property,
you need to hunt it because the deer love it.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
Now, that's the ones that get the big, the big,
the big rifle ones. If you get the big rifle
and the orange ones, they're not bad.

Speaker 9 (27:38):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
But you know you don't want a green one. We
trick people in there. Of course, great, we loved it.
See that taste. The point is that maybe I exaggerated
it too. Yeah it is. This is not if I go, hey,
I want a candy bar and that that's not worth.
Is this bad for us the way? No, it's good
for us. For like Rick straight up. Oh, it's really
good for you. But you can have of it ofcause drink.

(28:05):
I'm just saying it's not unbearable.

Speaker 7 (28:07):
You're your own good. You're not doing it for fun,
You're not.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
That's not I bought a seventy five and I got
to eat a lay a cadberry beside that milk. Great,
that's not to day a milk chocolate cadberry I just
brought up. I brought a seventy five, and it's a
different brand. It might even taste worse, a little less.
It may not be quiet that gumm it's it's the aftertaste.
But you just spilled water all and everything. Who tells
you they enjoy those is a liar.

Speaker 11 (28:31):
Yeah, I like, I'll go seventy eighties a little much
for me, Okay.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
I used to eat for Simmons's kid.

Speaker 7 (28:37):
The ripe ones right now, not the green.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Yeah. We used to throw the ripe ones at each other.
I said, mush, do you get somebody to take a
bout off a green one? Seriously? That may be the
most bitter. It'll it'll take your mouth. Yeah. I remember
when we were like young kids, we tricked people and
they'd actually start crying more. I have had get to
me now. Okay, yep, I'm gonna ask you it comes
out of the gate. Okay. When we were kids, and

(29:00):
this is listen, kids, y'all hear us. Some of these
things don't do this. So we were making get We
would trick kids into eating you know, green percentage because
I remembering, well, these are good and they and sometimes
they would cry. The one that we went too far
on is when we talked that kid into buying an elephant.

Speaker 7 (29:16):
Year at times, oh yeah, and.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
I think we always heard he and his and his
tongue like swoll up and he said it felt like
there was needles in this time. Would y'all do that?
Because we were told he would do that. We were
told he would do that. We told him that, we
were told it was really good. Yeah, And it was
a you know the elephant youant playing, Yeah, And we
dared him to buy one. But we learned about it,
and we learned about it in science class and took
it right to the neighborhood for a prank.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Yeah, you just told him to eat just a random plant.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
We dared him to buy it. It was it was
growing in like an old lady's yard, and we dared
him to buy it, and he bid it and his
tongue swoll up, and he said he felt like there
was needles. That probably wasn't the thing to do. No,
by the way, kids, that was not the thing to do.
And the PRESI thing was not dangerous. That elephant here
might have been. Yeah, the presentment thing was just fun
to watch, because seriously, that may be the most bitter thing.

Speaker 7 (30:05):
Have you ever seen the big ones?

Speaker 3 (30:06):
I mean, like they grow and they're almost about the
size of a tangerine. Oh yeah, they're really good. That's
what they have performers market, trust me, I know. Yeah,
where did Lisa get that? I'm now hating that chocolate
bar worse now, Walmart, I'm hating it worse now. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (30:25):
Then I did a minute ago.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
Me too, when I initially, like when she brought it home,
when I first been into it, I thought this is nice.
And then an hour later, when I was still tasting it, yeah,
I was like, it wasn't that not? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (30:35):
Yeah, I just right now, I'm like, Okay, I mean
it's probably not my favorite, but I thought you I was.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Gonna throw up. Well maybe, but to me it's horrible
because I love a good chocolate bar.

Speaker 7 (30:46):
Oh no, I'm remembering my time at Troy.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Oh no, I say that now. I'm just saying they're
not these people that give you dark juggle is great. No,
it's not. Oh no, I'm standing in the back of
the truck going down the middle of the street. Put
some close on Rick if can get in trouble. Yeah,
what are you doing if we started our day off
eating bad? Or was this okay? Now? This wasn't great

(31:11):
for you? Want to try to do better? That's what
That's what they want. This is what they want you
to eat. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (31:16):
No, it's still it's still candy, guys, it's not.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
Yeah, but a healthy candy.

Speaker 7 (31:22):
Chocolate, a healthy candy. I had blueberries a minute ago.
Now I've had dark chocolate. I'm ready.

Speaker 3 (31:27):
I wish I wish I had dark chocolate. I want
a blueberry.

Speaker 12 (31:29):
Now.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
That is a good combo.

Speaker 7 (31:31):
I love it.

Speaker 9 (31:31):
Now.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
I will say that not that chocolate. The freeze rip
ones that you get that are freezer ride with a
dark chocolate on them with like a strawberry.

Speaker 7 (31:40):
I love those.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
Those are good and they're not this chocolate. That chocolate.
I don't even know why anybody considered.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
That it's coating of it's coating of the tone it's terrible.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
I will, I will now get up and I got it.
The water's not enough. I'm going to find something. Do
we have anything that has a flavor? Yeah? I want
to brush my teeth right now.

Speaker 4 (31:59):
I don't know what for Simmons are. I looked him up.
I ate something else as a kid in the woods.
I don't know what I ate. I don't know what
that was or is it a Muskdon you ate one muscadon?

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Grab apple?

Speaker 7 (32:09):

the inside.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Oh, this is the Rick Burgess show. He was told

(32:37):
good luck finding a job that would pay him to
be the class clown Rick Burgess.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
And here we go, thanks for being with us today,
America from text Nation Aver. Is it possible you were
eating chestnuts? No, got a seed in the middle.

Speaker 11 (32:58):
I'm looking at for simmons and then looked more like
tomatoes on the inside.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Then, yeah, there was no big seed inside of maybe
there was. I can't remember.

Speaker 11 (33:08):
This had a like an edible flesh. I'm trying to
figure out what I ate as a kid in the woods, y'all.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
I would go like that doesn't sound I would ride.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
My turk bike and behind this one lady's house.

Speaker 11 (33:22):
I knew that I could always get them plum it
was it would it would change like from a green
to a to a it would change plump. It wasn't
a plum. It was like it would change. It would
change from a green to like a yellow and then
to an orange that's green to yellow to orange.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
It had like a big.

Speaker 11 (33:43):
Seed inside like this, but not It wasn't fleshy inside
like a tomato.

Speaker 7 (33:50):
Yeah, all right, you were eating something.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
I was eating something in the woods, y'all, no wonder,
I'm so weird.

Speaker 7 (33:55):
Yeah that you were just eating something, right?

Speaker 11 (33:58):
Uh?

Speaker 14 (33:59):
So it might have been squirreled on. Greg stupid, sell
this tree. I was the best fruit.

Speaker 7 (34:10):
The squirrels. The squirrels look at kids eating it.

Speaker 6 (34:15):
Kids eat it could.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
Have been simmons. And I'm just stupid and my memories bad.

Speaker 7 (34:20):
Yeah, it feels like persimmons to me.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
You know what, I didn't some percimons do have some
seeds in it.

Speaker 7 (34:26):
I didn't eat.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
It's not a fig.

Speaker 7 (34:28):
Isn't When they were right, it.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
Wasn't a fig.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Was it? Seeds are like a big nut? You know?

Speaker 4 (34:32):
It was like a nut. I thought it was big.

Speaker 7 (34:35):
Let's say big seed.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
I thought it was a big seed as a kid.

Speaker 7 (34:38):
You remember the would get right I'm calling wild plumb.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
Yeah. Once the percentmons got really ripe and they were
kind of yellowish oranges. Yeah, and you then you start
battling with them. You could throw because when they hit
somebody explode on. Yeah. Even you could put stick them
on the end of a stick and sling them like
this and they come off in the stick. Those were
the days. That's when you were serious.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
Maybe it was some kind of weird Japanese per.

Speaker 7 (35:02):
Simmon or something it maybe she was a wicked witch.

Speaker 4 (35:07):
Yeah, and she's trying to lure me into her.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Thing.

Speaker 7 (35:11):
It'll fit right in there. Something to consider.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
Hayburd hayburge, Smitty prepared for awkwardness.

Speaker 13 (35:25):
What about the dog?

Speaker 3 (35:30):
Maybe we've hired people up too much on this digging
up everybody here?

Speaker 4 (35:36):
We got can chase my country dreams?

Speaker 3 (35:39):
Life stuck in a dial all everybody say what about
that dog?

Speaker 13 (35:43):
Every road I take about.

Speaker 7 (35:48):
Uh Oddler text Nations says we should do that.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
Okay, look at wild chickasaw plum, All right, all right,
chickasaw plump, Hey bird, Hey, burd What about the dog?
Why is it that people the need to carry their
dog with them everywhere they go? I concur I'm sitting
in the drive through today. I'm one car back from
getting to the window, and a small car in front
of me. It's an older couple. They got two dogs,

(36:12):
one rather large, one overweight, medium sized dog with their
heads in the front seat sniffing the food that they
just received. I'm on the phone my wife when I
see this, and I proceed to gripe about the situation,
ask her why in the world are people so goofy
to think that they need to bring their dogs with
them to get through the drive through? And now the

(36:32):
dog's nosing in their food. When I pull up to
the window to pay, here it comes speedy for my food,
the lady tells me the car in front of me
had paid for my food. To say, with my food,
I was also I also enjoyed a taste of my
foot which was in my mouth. Stupid dog. I'm also

(36:55):
suffering from, I think, not secondhand embarrassment. First hand embarrassment
was a very quick lesson from God not to judge
people so fast. And I guess I should just mind
my own business. Oh, and there was no one behind
me to pay it forward, so I couldn't even feel
good about that. The couple had pulled into a parking
space to get things situated before moving on, so I did.

(37:18):
Speedy pulled beside them, wave and say thank you. All right?

Speaker 8 (37:24):
Question was mighty about his dog? Was the dog card
just being nice and and just did that? Or were
they looking in the rear view mirror and could see
him animated complaining about the dogs.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
You have to think about that was like an odd
thing for that make him feel like crap? It feels
a little random, doesn't get forward?

Speaker 8 (37:44):
Yeah, it depends on how you know over the top
he was, or if he was just sitting there talking
but a good good mouth reader, if he was really animated,
could go, oh.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
Look at that person back there, the hating on our dogs.
Watch this. You know you would have never done about
what you think you're ever gonna pay for the person.

Speaker 4 (38:04):
I think that Speedy Speed pays it backward. He just
lets people pay for him.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
Yeah right, I tell them car behind Speedy circles looking
for a car and go, I bet that will pay.
Yeah it is? Where does it end on that? If
everybody keeps paying behind them. Point, okay, I even do it. Okay, Grich,
who gets to go? I'm just taking it? How can
anybody put a bad How can anybody put a bad

(38:31):
spend on people buying each other? Think about it. If
everybody feels obligated, I guess I have to pay that
behind me. They really don't want to, but they feel obligated.
Does anybody ever get there's paid for? Well, here's what
I would say to that. Don't do it out of
out of you know, oh gosh, I guess I look
bad to do it because you feel in your heart
there's something that you feel called to do. Yeah, you
can't get guilted into Do you look behind to see
how many peoples in that? That's a good point. If

(38:52):
it's a crowded you don't step out. If it's a solo,
I go, I got to go.

Speaker 11 (38:57):
They're going to be an entry and picking up for
the whole office.

Speaker 7 (39:00):
There's always that rint I tell you what I say, Well,
thank you, uh.

I mean that's what you're really right at the end
of it all, give us some money and let us
go get what we need or buy what we want.

Speaker 7 (44:04):
There you go help us, help us with Christmas?

Speaker 3 (44:06):
What's it? Okay, that's it? So so that's what we're
gonna do. We're gonna simplify it. It's gonna be money. Now.

Speaker 7 (44:12):
Look, you better know, you better know about this show.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
You better. I hope you've been paying attention this year. Yeah,
because if you had been paying attention, you're.

Speaker 8 (44:21):
Gonna you're gonna be You're gonna be upset with yourself
having adult kids now men, Uh, it was interesting when
their their wants or their their request for Christmas. You know,
as you turn adults, you don't really do that. But
it went from hey, I want this to just give
me cash?

Speaker 3 (44:40):
Can I just.

Speaker 8 (44:42):
Whatever your budget is? Just if you're allotting that, I'll
just give me cash.

Speaker 11 (44:47):
I gotta see. I feel that way after Christmas every year,
I'm like, all this junk, I really could have just
used some milk in the fridge.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
You know what I'm saying. You know what I'm talking about,
some milk in the fridge. Let's see if we can
get you the yes.

Speaker 11 (45:01):
But so I think that's a great move, Rick, thank
you big bucks getting handed out this Christmas?

Speaker 4 (45:05):
Y'all check it out.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
Yeah, I mean, I mean, honestly, if you've got especially
you were talking about to speed when your kids are
first young adults, there's nothing that they'd rather have than
a little help.

Speaker 9 (45:18):
You know.

Speaker 7 (45:19):
It's just the way you want a little cash came
out of nowhere.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
Yeah that's it. And say you took a trip to
Japan and we want a little bit of cash, right
for example, And as far we even went as far
with our family and we've added to it this this
bingo thing. That's a lot of fun that Lisa brought
from from her side the family lelee in the hands.
But is that we have good We do the dirty

(45:44):
sand of you know whatever you call it, Yankee swap whatever.
So so everybody just brings one gift, so that way
you're not like I got to buy a gift for
everybody in the family. Everybody brings one gift that's all
thrown in a pile, and then everybody is only has
to spend money for one gift. Yeah, and that that
really helped it. Look when you have when new family
start growing, and you look, you go, okay, I got

(46:06):
to buy this part of our family all their kids
and everything gifts. And of course the little kids I
get treated little different. I mean there's more happies for them.
But uh, but it's that really took a lot of
pressure off, especially when when the young adults went out
in their own world and you're like, hey, what should
we do when we come home for Christmas?

Speaker 7 (46:24):
And now they's got to bring one gift, so that's
not that.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
Big a deal. Yeah, yeah, you just and plus trying
to figure out what to get people.

Speaker 8 (46:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, I remember when Tyler and Maybury got married.
You know the thing is, well, now you don't get
a gift. Now it's to the couple.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
That's fine. And Tyler was like, huh and you get
stuff which time that you really don't want. Yeah, yeah,
that was stuff you need but you don't really want it,
but you.

Speaker 8 (46:46):
Need it as long as she needs it, that's fine.
That's pretty That came from my mom to Tyler. She
he was like, yeah, you know, you might see J. C.
And Reese, but over here it's Tyler and Maybray right there.

Speaker 7 (46:57):
How do y'all feel?

Speaker 3 (46:58):
How do y'all feel about this? We we now know
that we Leley helped us. We will not I don't
have anybody coming home for Thanksgiving other than Brooks Okay, okay.
I do have them more coming home for Christmas, but
on Thanksgiving, because I told you, Blake's wife is helping

(47:18):
choreograph the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.

Speaker 12 (47:22):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (47:22):
So there's just pretty special they're staying. Uh, Broderick and
his wife it's there. It's Thanksgiving in Indiana this year,
So we lose them to the in laws, okay. Uh.
And then Brooks is coming in from Atlanta. Uh and uh,
and Brandy is not she's not there doing something in Philadelphia.
So we we will be down to I'll just only

(47:44):
have one kid. So Sherry, now, well, how do you
feel about this? So I see her think about this
was this is this isn't even today. This was a
few days ago. All of a sudden, Sherry goes, oh,
I'm so glad they love that. And I said, what
are you talking about? Uh, Priscilla, that's Blake's wife. Scillas
it showed me that she got the stuff that we
send him for Christmas, I said for Christmas? I said,

(48:05):
you've already sent the Christmas gift. Oh, look, they love it.
And I'm like, they already have it. And she was like,
I just thought I would go ahead and send it. Babe,
it's not even Thanksgiving. They've already got it.

Speaker 7 (48:17):
How do you feel about that?

Speaker 3 (48:19):
I thought that was a little early. That's ware. Now
they're going to be fit a little down on Christmas.
If we've ever gotten, if we've ever get, they get.
They may get home for Christmas. I hope. But Greg,
you know, you said you said something that really hits home. Well,
they're not going to get anything. We don't ever stand
by that.

Speaker 8 (48:34):
If if if any of the boys or any of
the if they get something early, they're like, okay, man,
that's your Christmas now, you got it.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
And then we go out and get more stuff. Yeah.
And I look at te you, I'm like, where are
these boxes for? Oh they're for They're for Tyler. Well, right,
but we but we got him something. You said, now's
your Christmas?

Speaker 12 (48:52):
Now?

Speaker 3 (48:53):
Oh you're right, no, one thousand percent. What's going to happen?
And I don't know the plan on Blake and his
wife for Christmas. I'm a little gray on that. But
if they find their way home, yeah, I thought we
sent them right, and yeah that was a long time alone.
Oh look, they love their Christmas gift, right, I said,
we're not even Thanksgiving that you sent them a gift

(49:14):
on the day that doesn't associate with anything. Did they
just get a Christmas gift on Veterans Day?

Speaker 11 (49:19):
Right?

Speaker 3 (49:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (49:20):
What's the first? What age is the first Christmas you remember?

Speaker 3 (49:24):
Now?

Speaker 8 (49:25):
I know Greg you remember a lot when you were young,
but like age wise, is it four, five six seven,
four or five four or five?

Speaker 3 (49:34):
I remember back to then. I remember we lived in
Birmingham and that was four when we moved.

Speaker 8 (49:40):
Okay, because I was talking to Terry about our grandson
River and he's four, he'll be five in December.

Speaker 3 (49:47):
And I'm like, he's not gonna ever remember what he gets.

Speaker 8 (49:50):
I mean, we could still get him nice stuff, but
get gracious if we're just piling up stuff and when
he comes over, he's got stuff to play with.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
Now it's just clutter everywhere.

Speaker 7 (49:59):
Let's hang on.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
So you tell me you remember Christmas in Birmingham when
we were vague. I remember we had this. You remember
we had this?

Speaker 7 (50:07):
Uh, this is important, I can document. This is four
years old.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
Remember the animal? You're right, I remember that too, because
I remember the first first one came out. We all screamed, yeah,
and that's all some we got Green Bay packers. Yeah,
oh wow, we remember okay, yeah, well we got the
pictures dressed with our packing uniforms on. I remember wearing
the package four years old. Alright.

Speaker 8 (50:33):
Well, I mean I'm not saying he's not going to
have a special Christmas. Understand he will. What I'm saying is,
all right, look we've got enough now.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
Yeah, you know what I mean. You're right, You're.

Speaker 11 (50:46):
Right, like five toys is enough. You're right, twenty five
that's two much.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
That's a complete corner of the girl. What you is,
what you're doing, unless it's stuff you keep there. But
you buy all this stuff. And I remember when I
was as parents, that you're going, they've got it. What
am I gonna do with all this? Why do y'all
keep buying all this? They happened to put it on
the parents? Another thing kind I warn you about to
You're right, it doesn't need to be the Christmas that
every Christmas rest of his life.

Speaker 7 (51:11):
It never never can meet again, you know.

Speaker 3 (51:14):
And and I don't know what the future is, Okay,
I don't know. I'm assuming you have two more sons
that will then you get married. Yeah you have, I
think Tyler and maybe probably will have more kids. Yeah
that that grand kid when he's the only one, when
he's first. A lot of times, a lot of times
I've seen them get piled on so much, and then
the parents, the grandparents didn't realize, oh now there's four

(51:34):
of them right now, and suddenly they they none of
the others can ever get what the first one got
because they get spread it out. Yeah, So be careful.

Speaker 8 (51:44):
You know, and and two river went down what would
this past week I can't remember, down to the Leonoori
farms and we rode around and had fun, assault.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
And all that stuff.

Speaker 8 (51:54):
And at the end of the day, I mean we
had a day, okay, understand, a day that a boy
would love.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 8 (52:00):
And I was like, hey, man, what was your best
part of your day? He goes, Uh, we had gotten
him some tiny little hunt some tiny little hunting hunting boots.
And you know, his feet are as big as a sciphone. Okay,
and uh they're the cutest little things. And he he said,
my hunting boots. And I'm like, so those little all
the things, all everything else you done. And I looked
at him. I said, see, he just doesn't know much,

(52:21):
you know, it's just all the fun.

Speaker 3 (52:24):
We did twenty different things and he just liked his
little hunting boots. Right. Remember, by the way, a long day,
Gregor great great one, protect Nation. Rick and Gregor just
remembered Christmases in Birmingham. The dark chocolate was working. That's
a good one. That's the truth. Though. I remember we
had this fake fireplace that they would put up as
a decoration, made out a cardboard like a hearth. Do

(52:46):
you remember that? It was classy?

Speaker 4 (52:48):
Yeah? OK, see you're feeling in details.

Speaker 11 (52:52):
I was going to say, are you sure you don't
just remember looking at the picture of.

Speaker 4 (52:57):
Details?

Speaker 3 (52:59):
I remember the.

So you have it in time to cook for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 7 (55:22):
All Right, it looks like the.

Speaker 3 (55:24):
College football poll, the playoff pole, it looks pretty much
like the AP. There's not a lot of change there.
So the college football rankings for the College Football playoff rankings,
this is like if it ended today. This is where
they would be. Ohio State number one, No surprise there,
Indiana two, Texas A and M three Bamma four, that's

(55:47):
exactly the same. Georgia at five, Texas Tech six, Ole
Miss seven, Oregon eight, Notre Dame nine, Texas ten. Now
here's these bubble people because of the highest ranked team
a group of five.

Speaker 7 (56:03):
Yeah, the group of five.

Speaker 3 (56:04):
So and then in the highest rank conference winner or something.
If they weren't yeah, so these two would be in play.
Oklahoma and I can't believe BYU stayed in the top twelve.
I guess so I mean that they got beat I
mean we hammered. Yeah, but but they dropped them down
to twelve. So h so Oklahoma and BYU would be
bubble and the top ten. Uh, let's see, in the

(56:29):
top ten, you got one, two, three, four five SEC teams.
Half the top ten is out of SEC. So so
there you go. Uh, and that that's where they sit
right now. Yeah, and hanging around U Tall, Vanderbilt, Miami,
Georgia Tech kind of hanging around. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (56:50):
If it ended today, the buck Eyes, the Hoosiers, the Aggies,
the Tide would all receive first round bys YEP, and
the four teams that and the top four teams if
the second rankings were used for the twelfth team bracket,
the first round games will be South Florida at Georgia,
Miami at Texas Tech, Texas at Ole Miss, and Notre

(57:12):
Dame at Oregon. Since the five conference championships are guaranteed
to make the top twelve bracket, Number fifteen Miami, projected
as the ACC champion today, would replace Oklahoma at eleventh
that would be a bubble team, and number twenty four
South Florida, the highest ranked group of five champions, would
replace BYU as the twelfth seed. So those two of

(57:35):
the bubbles. If it ended today, it's fun to talk about.

Speaker 3 (57:37):
But it doesn't matter. All right. Let me ask you this,
because we're all starting to think that conference championships will
eventually go away because they're meaningless. Yeah, So if Ohio
State and Indiana go undefeated, no matter what happens in
that conference championship game, they're both going. Correct. If Texas
A and M and Alabama go to the SEC championship,
they're both going no matter what happens.

Speaker 7 (57:57):
Yeah, you see what I mean, it's not really going
to Yeah.

Speaker 8 (57:59):
Yeah, they've been even had a lot of commentary and
we've heard it before, and that is that if you
get to the championship game, you shouldn't be punished if
you lose it because obviously you got to it.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
I wish they'd do away with them. I know they're
big money makers and all that, but they just don't
seem necessary because unless I'm wrong, Texas Tech B B,
why you beat them pretty good and there's a chance
they would have to play again.

Speaker 8 (58:22):
Correct now Now, albeit you have some conferences that like
in the ACC where they've teams have had a couple
of losses. If you lose that championship, you know, and
you're not sitting right now at number four, obviously you're not.
I'm saying you can have champions but don't have a
championship game. Do like you used to do.

Speaker 3 (58:38):
Yeah yeah, the conference champion Yeah I get that, but
just don't have a championship Yeah, we're not saying you
can't be your conference champion. The game's just not necessary.
After it's over, say you you you had the best season.
You know they got away tie breakers, blah blah blah whatever.
I mean, the way they used to do it, they
used to not have, you know, title game. Conference breakdown.

Speaker 8 (58:57):
The SEC had six teams in the top twelve, Big
ten had three, Big twelve had two, The ACC had
five teams in the top twenty five, but nobody higher
than fifteen, and South Florida was the only team from
a group of five conference that was in the top
twenty five.

Speaker 3 (59:12):
Yeah. And the thing you have to start remembering because
you know, we all with Dad coaching and of course
playing too. You know, playoffs were we know all about
playoffs in the Division two college football and in high
school football. And the one thing that you do remember
when you have a rival, somebody you have to play
and they're really good, and you start thinking, man, I

(59:34):
mean in order to win championship, we have to beat
them twice. No, you really don't. You just have to
beat them once. Yeah, the second and that's in the playoffs. Yeah,
that's when you got to beat them. You can get
away with not beat them in the regular season. It's
the rest of that lot. If the rest of your
season goes extremely well. Now, when we were coming up,
you only you didn't have but one person go so
you never repeat it. Now if you beat them during

(59:56):
the year, I have to worry about it for another year.
That was different when we were playing high school old codgers.
One team went out of every area, region, whatever you
called it. We had about eight teams and only one
of you win. And yeah, I mean we had to
be nine and one go home, yep, nine and one
and you lost to the champion, so you get to
go to the house. Yeah, you did not even get
in the first round the playoffs. I thought you had

(01:00:16):
to win it all to get in. It was tough
and there were no soft teams in the play Now,
how about Ole Miss was punished for beating the Citadel
forty nine to nothing.

Speaker 7 (01:00:23):
I know, drop it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
One, right, I guess that's a strength to schedule. But
Texas Technic BYU so jumped them.

Speaker 7 (01:00:30):
Oh yeah, they thought that was a bigger win and
it was.

Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
We'll be back.

Speaker 7 (01:00:36):
So there you are. That's where we stand today.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
Was still a good bit of football to play.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):

Speaker 3 (01:00:50):

Speaker 1 (01:01:56):
Men Don't Run in the Raid. The new book by
Rick Burgs available now wherever you get books.

Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
That's including Now Barnes and Noble location. So if you're
looking for that for for Christmas, also be paying attention.
By by week's end, Ironheell Press is going to offer
another opportunity for signed copies. Uh, be paying attention for that.

(01:02:24):
If you didn't get a signed copy when we first
launched the book, but you'd like to, then another opportunity
to get signed copies is coming your way this week.
So as soon as we get all that lined up,
we'll we'll let you know. I'm watching that right now,
even in the break, so they're putting it all together,
and we'll let you know. This is I agree with

(01:02:45):
this to a degree, but it'll offer it's a serious topic,
but it will also offer us an opportunity to to
make a point that actually is a little bit lighthearted
and fun but but but but a lot of truth
in it too. But Joe Rogan kind of watching Joe
Rogan and some of the things that are going on
with him spiritually, and all that is is intriguing and

(01:03:08):
and praying that you know, it turns into you know,
a true faith in Christ and his redemption. But this
is not that, but it's it's it's in the whole
mode of him the way he sees the world, and
the headline says this that Joe Rogan warns that liberal
celebration of Charlie Kirk's assassination shows that we're actually closer

(01:03:29):
to civil war than he actually thought. He says, you know,
Charlie Kirk gets shot and people are celebrating, and I'm thinking, well,
so you want people to die that you disagree with? Like,
that's where we are right now. I mean, what on
a scale of one to ten, where are we as
far as civil war? I actually thought that we were

(01:03:50):
more like a four or five. Are we like that
a seven? Uh? He said, because I didn't know that
we were to point that you would rejoice over someone's death,
especially a public killing witnessed by the world and their family,
just because he said things you disagreed with. His biggest

(01:04:15):
offense was merely saying things others disagreed with, and for
anyone to celebrate that person's violent death is deeply troubling.

Speaker 7 (01:04:27):
And I, well, I agree with that too.

Speaker 3 (01:04:29):
And I don't know about us getting in to a
full blown civil war, but but I will say this
to the left, you won't win this time. You don't
want to mess with us, you know, if it gets
down to civil war. I'll see some of y'all out
there that celebrated Charlie Kirk's death, and I see the
state of the far far left your you're a bizarre bunch.

(01:04:54):
You couldn't win the civil war. We'd mop the floor
with you. I mean, you really don't want to do that.
You know before that, you you know the North and
South thing. The North could never win again because they've
gotten so soft, and I know that liberals are everywhere now.
So this is more of a civil war between ideology, correct,
but even the civil war against ideology. I'm sorry the
far left. Y'all are a loud You'll make a lot

(01:05:15):
of noise. You love to threaten people, But if it
came down to it, you wouldn't win. I mean it
would not. It would not be a fair. You don't
want any part of that. Oh so, and you kind
of have let yourself get to a point that you're
starting to lose ground even with people supporting you too, Yeah,
because you know, yeah, look, I've been there before where

(01:05:36):
I kind of thought, hey, yeah, I think I might
be into that, and then all of a sudden, the
group that you're starting to kind of listen to starts
acting really strangely. I can't really Well, there's some people
on the far right. Now I'm like, hey, I've gone
too far. I can't go where you're going.

Speaker 8 (01:05:49):
And then and then the far left is scared, certain
Democrats so bad they won't even point out what they're
doing is wrong because they're scared to death of the repercussions, like, oh,
what's going on? What happened at Berkeley where Turning Point
USA was just having an event and they wouldn't even
they were trying to they wouldn't even let people in,
and they were just going crazy that those opted that's

(01:06:10):
an awful look.

Speaker 3 (01:06:11):
Well, and why can't you stand up and go that's wrong? Yeah,
because you're scared today, you're afraid of now they'll turn
on you. But here's the thing, if you want to
if you think we're birds, you don't know that. Well,
I do know that. Go back to the Summer of love.
I'm talking about, not the old one twenty when the
burning of the streets and you know, tearing up a
property and terrifying this and terrifying that. If you remember,

(01:06:35):
these mobs did really well where people weren't allowed to
be armed. They really were doing great. But do you
remember they had an idea once that they were going
to go into small town USA, or go into the suburbs,
and if you remember, that didn't work. When they decided
to take that garbage into the suburbs or into the

(01:06:56):
small towns, the suburbs and the small towns are so
heavily armed. They turned back because I mean, so you remember,
they're predators. They're only looking for people that can't defend themselves.
So when they go into places where people can defend themselves,
they it ended You didn't see the burning of suburbia
and you didn't see the burning of small towns because

(01:07:18):
they couldn't have gotten away with it. You know, they're
tearing up of stuff, and so you can see a little,
you know, just a small, little example of what it
would look like, just if you go back and look
at that. And they didn't farewell when they start taking
on the people that they really were mad at. When
they went to where they actually live, they really ended
up burning and tearing up the people they claimed their

(01:07:41):
own neighborhoods, which was bizarre.

Speaker 11 (01:07:44):
The neighborhood, Yeah, that was just the business owners in
their neighborhood that.

Speaker 3 (01:07:48):
Didn't show a huge amount of intelligence. But usually angry
mobs are not really thinking things through. Y'all.

Speaker 8 (01:07:56):
Remember what was it Downtown Portland. They took over the city,
They took it over. You wouldn't take over downtown, Jimson. No,
I promise you the.

Speaker 3 (01:08:07):
You're gonna take over take You're gonna take over Gary's down. No, no, no,
we handle all that stuff down here. I don't know
if well said Rick, Yeah, and true.

Speaker 11 (01:08:20):
I don't know if we're geographically divided enough politically, you
see what I'm saying politically, so it would be a
lot of infighting to and the the reality is, I
feel like it's so scary and sad is that these
radical leftists would have to and we've honestly seen them, uh,

(01:08:41):
you know, used terror. It wouldn't be it wouldn't be
normal warfare. It wouldn't be a war. It would be
a terror operation, uh, in which they're putting bombs in
in in trunks like we saw in Ireland.

Speaker 3 (01:08:56):
You know.

Speaker 11 (01:08:56):
It would be that type of ugly, drawn out, horrible terror.
We would have to live in a police state type environment.
And I pray, I pray that never happens, and the
world feels so divided when we look online, but I
don't think we are that divided. But when you see
people celebrate a death of a Charlie Kirk type figure,

(01:09:17):
that is it is very discouraging.

Speaker 3 (01:09:21):
Yeah, well, and I think you're right at or you
made a really good point right there. Sherry and I
were even discussing this here this week. You know sometimes
how difficult it is, and I try to encourage my family,
and you know, it's come. You know, we've been through
some things, and when you're a public figure, then you

(01:09:41):
know you are your fair game. And I've always told
the family through the times where we were publicly being
ridiculed and attacked, just don't read these comments, because what
we tend to do is you'll have you know, three
hundred people encouraging you, standing of you, and you can't
get your mind off the twelve that said horribly dark things,

(01:10:05):
you know, And so you're right, I think sometimes you know,
the dark comments are so cutting and they and they're
so bothersome that people would be that wicked and say
such wicked things that you tend to think that that represents.

Speaker 7 (01:10:22):
A large group.

Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
And we sometimes we even tend to forget the large
group that is actually encouraging you, supporting you, and saying
kind things about you. I don't that should have as
much power, but it really doesn't. And the reason why
is because of the wickedness and the darkness of really
what is ultimately demonic. And so you're right, you know,
don't don't get caught up in This represents a large

(01:10:46):
number of people, and I think Joe Rogan is maybe
getting caught up in that. Now. It is shocking that
people would just openly celebrate. But even if you went
onto a college campus and saw somebody with weird colored
hair and dressed oddly, you know, jumping up and down
and dressing up like a Halloween Charlie Kirk being shot

(01:11:07):
in the neck, that kind of stuff, you if you
back the camera back, you would just see it's a
small group of people standing. The rest of the campus
is just going on with their own business, in their own.

Speaker 8 (01:11:17):
The media covers it because they want you to think
that's everywhere, right.

Speaker 7 (01:11:21):
And now you can't ignore what you said.

Speaker 3 (01:11:23):
Though. Now there have been moments they've taken over sections
of cities, but again, that's still a big city. And
the part they take over isn't a big part of
the city, but it's it's crazy disruptive. Seattle never lost
their city. But eventually even the people in these so
called all feeling all loving cities, they get tired of
it too, you know, because everybody would kind of like

(01:11:43):
to be able to go to the store without having
to you know, watch people loot it and burn it
and you know that kind of stuff.

Speaker 15 (01:11:50):
Yeah, so if the if a city does fall, you've
got realtors in Florida just rubbing their hands together saying,
come on.

Speaker 7 (01:12:01):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:12:03):
And we've talked about this though. The ability to disagree
and debate has gone to, well, no, what you say
I don't like, so therefore I'm gonna label you as
a Nazi or something, and now I've got to do
away with you. And that's why, you know, you look
at they look at life like, yeah, it's no big deal.
Well you can hit you know it like they did,

(01:12:23):
like they did. Yeah, it may not be a macro deal,
but if they want to target an individual and make
that individual with their faults propaganda seem right for killing,
now they can't pull that off.

Speaker 3 (01:12:39):
They've done that to Trump. They just missed it. And
they've done it to Joe Rogan. I'm not Joe Rogan.
I'm Charlie kirk So and you know. And so that's
the part that those of you need to realize. With
the social media thing. We talked about this back at
the beginning of the year. It's dangerous when you do
these kind of things because many times you radicalize people

(01:13:00):
that aren't right and they start thinking, well, maybe they
deserve to be killed. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:13:04):
And as weird.

Speaker 3 (01:13:06):
As that may sound to you, there's a lot of
unstable people out there that get radicalized by by these platforms.

Speaker 8 (01:13:12):
But to your point, Nancy Pelosi was it last week
she said that President Trump is the worst person on
Earth on the face of the face of the earth. Now,
think about what's on the face of this earth, I know,
and he's the worst person on it.

Speaker 7 (01:13:26):
She also must be missing a mirror.

Speaker 3 (01:13:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:13:28):
But now to the crazy person, Rick, that's not that's
not right. What does that make to save the earth?

Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
Yeah? Yeah, see, I just.

Speaker 4 (01:13:35):
Does she not know about North Korea?

Speaker 7 (01:13:37):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:13:38):
Yeah, how people are living?

Speaker 7 (01:13:40):
Yeah yeah, We'll.

Speaker 3 (01:13:42):
Be right back.

Speaker 1 (01:13:45):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, the only show hosted

(01:14:06):
by an Oxford graduate. Well Oxford High School, The Rick
Burch's Show.

Speaker 3 (01:14:14):
An Sure to graduate. Thanks for being with us America,
what a blast it is. Andy andrews en routes he
will be with us coming up a little bit later
in the program. And can you go head to head
with Andy and find your way to that will over there?
Look at that wheel just sitting over there ready? By

(01:14:35):
the way, how about this a pat on the back?
Or to Henry the horse from Taxa Nation. A minute
ago we talked about that the wheel had gone cold,
and a person said, you know what, I have to disagree.
I don't think you can declare a wheel cold when
it gave us Henry the horses skipoy is a statement.

Speaker 11 (01:14:57):
I wonder how it's blind date with Miss Valentine went
last night.

Speaker 3 (01:15:02):
Can we schedule him like? That's all? Like we do, Dickie,
I haven't texted him.

Speaker 4 (01:15:06):
He's wild and free.

Speaker 3 (01:15:08):
Uh. By the way, can I tell you you know
how sometimes you meet people that that encourage you about
the show, but sometimes it comes from the most unlikely sources.
Have you ever dealt with then? So you know, I've
been struggling with the fact that apparently the church that
I go to they have now deemed me old enough

(01:15:31):
to be part of the legacy group. That's what we
used to call seasoned citizens. All of that, and frankly,
I feel a little young for that. And I think
I walked too good for that, and I don't walk great. Okay,
So I had to go by. I thought I left
my sunglasses at church. I was also dropping something off

(01:15:53):
by the way. Thank somebody took my sunglasses at church.
And man, that's not very Baptist like, now you know
what I mean.

Speaker 7 (01:16:00):
I went to lost again. I went to lost and
found it.

Speaker 3 (01:16:04):
They could be under a table. These were costing mars.
I knew there was no chance. That's exactly I want
to tell the person that kept my coastess. God was
testing you and you failed. Do you know that you
might be getting paid back? Somebody might have just hit
them from you, possible or somewhere at home there under

(01:16:24):
the I'll checked what happened. Was I remember wearing them
in I don't like when I when I have to
go when I and I've wanted to get those really
cool old glasses that were half tended, half not. You know,
I'm with my beard, and I just think it would work.
I like frank o'harris and and and you know, you know,

(01:16:47):
it's just you know, I look like maybe the heavyweight
champion of some kind. You know, they always wore those
after the fight because they have black eyes, and you know,
and they're like, well, that's that's kind of that's no
longer the thing.

Speaker 7 (01:16:59):
But I I'm one of these people.

Speaker 3 (01:17:00):
I have to wear sunglasses on a sunny day into churches.

Speaker 7 (01:17:05):
Put those things make it?

Speaker 8 (01:17:06):
Why can't you just walk? Why can't you walk? Eyes
are very sensitive to would you Sherry drive you there too?

Speaker 7 (01:17:12):
No, I walked from the parking. Maybe you can get
her to let you out. I don't know why Sheherry
parked that far down, but yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:17:17):
Your eyes are really sensitive to the bright sun.

Speaker 3 (01:17:19):
Yes, I hate it.

Speaker 11 (01:17:20):
You need to be You need to be exposing yourself
to sunshine in the mornings without without sunglasses.

Speaker 3 (01:17:25):
Who said, here we go? What do you? What do
you say? My doctor? What is it?

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
Ground?

Speaker 11 (01:17:29):
Lisa and I were standing around a tree the other day,
her feet, you know, touching the tree, grounding. And I've
been hearing a lot about morning sun getting in your
eyes no sunglasses, and I tested it, I really did.

Speaker 7 (01:17:45):
When do you ever see the sun we're here in
the dark.

Speaker 11 (01:17:46):
So I try to get out there in the morning
and get some sun. And I've noticed that if I
do that in the morning, when I when we leave,
you know, after lunch, I get in my car, my
eyes are less, like.

Speaker 3 (01:18:00):
The less.

Speaker 7 (01:18:01):
Is that how you described?

Speaker 3 (01:18:02):
How?

Speaker 4 (01:18:03):
Yeah, that my eyes are less?

Speaker 3 (01:18:04):
You're saying when the sun came up this morning, I let.

Speaker 7 (01:18:08):
It shine right in my eyes. Okay, And my swinting
was reduced substantially.

Speaker 4 (01:18:14):
Supposedly you're not even supposed to have to squint in
the sun.

Speaker 3 (01:18:17):
Were terrible.

Speaker 4 (01:18:18):
Squinting is wasted energy.

Speaker 3 (01:18:20):
You're not concrete concrete Oh yeah, yah, yeah, yeah, snow
with the sun on it, Adler.

Speaker 8 (01:18:29):
Terry Wilburn agrees with you. Of course I'm not there
during the week but on the weekends when she wakes up,
unless it's just frigid cold, and you know, she goes
outside and laid it down and relaxes and and just
gets sunny and before she.

Speaker 3 (01:18:44):
Turns her phone on the TV owned she.

Speaker 8 (01:18:48):
Goes out and sits down in a chair and just
kind of swarms, takes a deep breath, drink some coffee. Uh,
and she wants that sun like to hit her.

Speaker 11 (01:18:56):
Y'all think women don't know stuff, and you think I
don't know stuff. No, no, I'm gonna say believe all
women and me.

Speaker 3 (01:19:01):
I understand that sun on your body and getting sun
raised is good. This thing of looking at the morning
sun to make your eyes less sensitive, I've never heard that.
There's themologist right now losing your mind. What if I
want to look at the sun in the middle of
the days.

Speaker 4 (01:19:15):
It got to be the want to look at the
sun just left shinok.

Speaker 7 (01:19:18):
I let the sun shine only ones.

Speaker 3 (01:19:19):
They got to be in my earn. You mean to
tell me you cannot make it from your car to
end the church?

Speaker 7 (01:19:23):
Cord I brought the sun is?

Speaker 11 (01:19:25):
Do you think it's because your face reflects all the
slight into your eyes?

Speaker 4 (01:19:29):
It's just so big.

Speaker 7 (01:19:30):
Let's get started. Let's get started.

Speaker 4 (01:19:32):
You think your small eyes would.

Speaker 7 (01:19:33):
Help with that, Well, I thought so too.

Speaker 4 (01:19:36):
I'm on a roll. I'm sorry, it's all right.

Speaker 7 (01:19:38):
My eyes are longer than your shoes.

Speaker 11 (01:19:40):
Have you seen Golden Eye with the with the dome
that had the big satellite that bought it in and
it could be doing that.

Speaker 4 (01:19:46):
With your big face.

Speaker 8 (01:19:47):
You mean to tell me you can't look down and
walk inrug for a thirty five seconds, my eyes struggle, so.

Speaker 11 (01:19:54):
Anyway, you're not supposed to have to squint as I'm
going in wasted effort.

Speaker 3 (01:19:59):
When I go in, I can't find my sunglasses whatever.
And there's a legacy lunch going on, and I can
see Charles, who runs the Legacy Ministry. He's disappointed I
didn't come, and because he sees a guy limping in
with shades on to get in the church right now.
So I tried to find them. But anyway Charles got
there's like three four ladies left in there at a

(01:20:19):
table still talking where they had the legacy lords. Okay,
so picture of that group and I go in, I said,
I says, it's our seniency class too. I said, did
y'all see sunglasses in here? They said no, And all
of sudden, unexpected, the sweetest, kindest woman that would be
in the legacy group looks up and she goes, let me.

Speaker 7 (01:20:37):
Just tell you something, I sure do love DIGGI nadby.

Speaker 3 (01:20:40):
That's funny. And I said, I said, okay, okay, didn't
I didn't expect that you like that.

Speaker 7 (01:20:46):
I'm on my glasses that DIGGI number.

Speaker 3 (01:20:48):
That's so funny, and I didn't expect women to be
discussing that legacy lunch and and and I was like.

Speaker 7 (01:20:55):
Okay, I didn't even really know what to do.

Speaker 3 (01:20:57):
I didn't know whether I felt good about it. There
was encouraging I was concerned about the damage we're doing.
Did they know they've You've accused them of still in
your excite. I did not accuse them of stilling my
son glasses.

Speaker 7 (01:21:09):
The suspicions, I tell you how I got my own.
That was Bennie Rose.

Speaker 3 (01:21:13):
Bennie. I'm sorry, buddy, you may be bringing him to
the Bible State. Now, I'm gonna feel bad on you.
But if he was wearing them or just hiding it
from you like you do us on everything.

Speaker 1 (01:21:21):

Speaker 5 (01:21:32):
Thanks John, It's time for the Rick Bersons.

Speaker 4 (01:21:47):
Broadcasting from the real world.

Speaker 3 (01:21:49):
Here we go America Day, Brandy Hour, thank you for
being here. Uh and uh Speedy, Greg Andler and the
gang all hanging out unscreened phone calls coming this hour.
Why I don't know, but they will, Andy Andrews. Next hour,

(01:22:14):
He's back broadcasting from the real world. So uh from
text Nation to kind of start this hour. Uh, Rick
thiss like I said of Mississippi earlier when you were
talking about and I hope it doesn't happen of the
civil war. When you use the phrase will mop the
floor with you, did you quote Jesus actually close? He

(01:22:36):
actually said the threshing floor, So I didn't. I didn't
specify the which floor. You're right, Jesus did specify the
threshing floor when he actually will take the chafe and
the and the wheat and.

Speaker 7 (01:22:50):
He'll separate that.

Speaker 12 (01:22:51):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (01:22:51):
He'll also separate the.

Speaker 3 (01:22:53):
Sheeps from the goats, and then when it's all over,
all who oppose him will be annihilated.

Speaker 7 (01:22:57):
So you're right, probably I did.

Speaker 3 (01:23:00):
I should have add added threshing there to get Jesus
quote almost directly. So so, but but thank you for
reminding me of that. Okay, so we uh have you
ever seen this?

Speaker 7 (01:23:13):
I've seen this before, so.

Speaker 3 (01:23:18):
Gosh, I hope I saved it because I meant to,
because I kept saving it to work to use it
on that note, you know this thing where you know
everybody's starting to become Jesus' pr agent, uh, and and
casting him as a hippie who just hung out with
Sinders and partied with him. Uh so, uh, let's see. Gosh,

(01:23:39):
I hope I hung on to that. It's been out there.
And what it is is somebody actually put together a
meme and they've they've gone through scripture and they've taken
some actual quotes from Jesus. Uh and and there it's.
It is going to hurt some of your feelings. I
promise you that. And Gosh, I can't find it. But

(01:24:02):
oh here this I got it. Okay, I found it.
Can you believe I found it? All? Right? So you
ever heard this comment? Jesus never called anyone names hypocrites
Matthew twenty three thirteen through fifteen, fools and blind Matthew
twenty three seventeen, vipers Matthew twelve thirty four, dogs Matthew
seven six, swine Matthew seven six, faithless Matthew seventeen seventeen,

(01:24:27):
and perverse in Children of the Devil.

Speaker 7 (01:24:30):
So well other than those, I guess.

Speaker 3 (01:24:34):
I called it we rageous. So it is. You know,
there's nothing wrong. Just remember this throughout scripture And we
even talked about this last Sunday when it says that
he was indignant with his own disciples because they weren't
letting children come to him. And that's a pretty strong word.
So remember, and I learned this from the great Steve Farrar,

(01:24:57):
one of my many mentors that have helped me. He said,
remember Jesus when he took on human flesh, he did
everything correctly, And he said, even Jesus did get angry,
but he even did anger correctly, so he would also
have the right example of how to be angry. And
he did get angry, and he had righteous anger, and

(01:25:20):
he did call people things that were not very nice
by the all loving, all caring. But so and to
this other thing, the threshing floor quote that he had,
it probably would hurt your feelings, but it is there
so those of us that you know. So I'm i'm
I'm feeling pretty good about you as long as it

(01:25:42):
stays in the righteous anger mode and all, and as
long as it is good versus evil.

Speaker 7 (01:25:49):
I really don't have.

Speaker 3 (01:25:50):
Any issue with saying the things that Jesus said, since
he did and I'm his disciple, So there you go.

Speaker 7 (01:25:58):
Okay, So other things to cover.

Speaker 3 (01:26:02):
Speaking of the old government and the state of things,
looks like the bill to end government shut down survives
key hurdle before a housewide vote, So the House will
vote on reopening the federal government today. So those of
you that this has impacted your life and you're struggling,

(01:26:22):
and hopefully that will end today and the things that
that you're impacted by will return, so that loos like
it will end the forty two day government shut down.
We're in the forty second day now, so hopefully that
will happen. It doesn't look like there were compromises made

(01:26:43):
on the original clean Bill, which everybody seemed to be
loving it in a bipartisan way back in March. It
pretty much is that same bill corrected, not all lot.

Speaker 8 (01:26:53):
It was that they I think they agreed to compensate
some of the furloughed federal workers. I can't remember exactly,
but what the the Democrats were standing on their head
about they did not get, which you kind of look
and go.

Speaker 16 (01:27:07):
With then anyway, Yep, it's the longest shut down in
history life. Yeah, yeah, and this is just in time
for Thanksgiving travel, and I hope everything can get back
because they're talking about air travelers inside the US about
how bad it's gotten and how many thousands of flights

(01:27:27):
have been canceled. But they hopefully we'll get back on
their feet prior to the Thanksgiving travel, but right now
they have I heard a number I don't want to
repeat because I don't know if I have it right
about how many flights have been canceled around the country.
But it was a ton like double digit that I mean,
like over ten thousand.

Speaker 3 (01:27:48):
I believe. Yeah, so.

Speaker 7 (01:27:52):
I think on that note, your son got home smoothly.
Praise God for that.

Speaker 3 (01:27:56):
Yeah, sorry about those that haven't had that experience celebrating
that one. And I you know, and then one of
my sons had to come all the way back from
California after once again portraying Johnny Cash, which is funny.
And uh I saw that he got home back to
his wife. How about today? So I worried about that,
not worried, but I was concerned. You don't want to

(01:28:17):
get stuff that he was going to have a nightmare,
and you know, and uh so, and that's always hard
when he's on the road or somewhere else doing a performance.
And if she's she she always makes sure she goes
in season for part of that time. But you know,
when you've been gone for a month to six weeks
doing the show, you know you ready to get back home. Yeah,

(01:28:39):
and uh and soh so I was glad to see
that he got back and time, of course he got
back and got his Christmas gift that apparently Shares already
sent them. Yeah. Uh, and j C does not.

Speaker 8 (01:28:51):
J C does not have your superpower of uh different Uh,
you know, areas of the country and and try traveling
and jet lag and time differences and all this kind
of stuff. You know, Japan, it's on out there as far.
I mean there often too, the long way, and so
his sleep pattern, so he has been up when I

(01:29:13):
leave every morning. He's still trying to adjust still to
this point, which I can't explain it.

Speaker 3 (01:29:21):
It's a superpower that I was given that I'm not
affected by time zones. I don't know.

Speaker 12 (01:29:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:29:26):
I don't even know why. I can't explain it.

Speaker 3 (01:29:28):
It just is what it is. What it is now.
I can't figure out how it's an advantage to me
other than whatever I have to do on a trip.
At least I can do it and not have to
worry with jet lag and all that. You know.

Speaker 7 (01:29:40):
It's like we've seen those of either new or new
to this.

Speaker 3 (01:29:42):
We studied that it's possible that I am a superhero,
but the powers that I have, we can't figure out
what good they are, you know, for mankind? And like
the fact that watches stop on my arm? Yeah, hey,
wait a minute, what time? Somebody struggling with jet lag?

(01:30:04):
Call super Rick? He never has it here, I call him.
Just save the day. Look, he's never sleepy, right, what happened? Right?
He just adjusted with his own? Is your watch working?
Maybe the evil guy's watch? If he didn't know what
time it was, he wouldn't be able to get us.
Call super Rick.

Speaker 7 (01:30:20):
He can stop a watch by putting it on his arm.

Speaker 4 (01:30:22):
Right, you're like a weaker magneto.

Speaker 3 (01:30:25):
Yes, okay, you know the other one that I noticed?
And guys, I can't explain. I'm telling there's something I got,
some sort of power shooting out of me. I don't
know what it is, but this I don't even did
you know that? I can never make one of those?
And I hate him. The faucets that you don't turn
off you have to. I can never get him to
come on. Some of them are stuff.

Speaker 7 (01:30:44):
I've been stuck with soup on my hands and I
can't give him to come.

Speaker 3 (01:30:46):
I think it's that watch thing. I think whatever the same.
Are you just not waving in the right place for more.

Speaker 11 (01:30:53):
Than one you can hold still for more than one second.
I don't think you can hold still stay there for
one more half a sea?

Speaker 3 (01:31:00):
So what are we trying to stop with this thing?
I think it was sein Feld first time. He was
like what and he made a great point. He goes,
what are we protecting ourselves from? Are they these rogue
bandits that come in and turn the fossils off and
run out and leave them on? I mean the wet bandits,
you know, the first ones and there's still something out
there where you push it down and it stops on
its own. I hated those.

Speaker 6 (01:31:21):
I hate that.

Speaker 3 (01:31:22):
If I can get these to work, they but you're right,
they're hard to get to work. Sometimes I'm mash down
ones and you're getting the Yeah, I got five seconds
to wash your hands. I don't like trying to slam
and slam and wash. By the way, I had to walk,
I had to walk wash. I had to walk around
with wet hands of the day because that stupid thing
you showed us about the air blowers. Yeah, I went

(01:31:43):
in the public bathroom and had air blower. I wouldn't
put my hand under it.

Speaker 4 (01:31:46):
That's a good movie. To save your life.

Speaker 7 (01:31:48):
I just start wiping on my blue gene.

Speaker 3 (01:31:49):
You saved your life, yet have to do anyway. It
don't work. But I'm talking about the biggest scam in
the history. That's why they have the censor so enough
to touch the knobs? Am I the only one that
can't get those censor when I guess?

Speaker 7 (01:32:02):
So they don't work for me. Sometimes they don't work
for me.

Speaker 8 (01:32:05):
I'm gonna I'm gonna sometimes that if we went to
the same sink as you, we would have it working.

Speaker 3 (01:32:10):
Because you don't. You don't give yourself enough time for it.

Speaker 4 (01:32:13):
The words you gotta count to one Mississippi.

Speaker 3 (01:32:16):
You're even trying to wave in a hurry. I bet
you're doing work and then you leave.

Speaker 11 (01:32:21):
No, no, don't move, just stay there, no yeah, just yes,
like easy, easy, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:32:26):
If you don't do that, man down boom, I do
that one to know just why we don't touch if
this has nothing to do with touching it.

Speaker 1 (01:32:38):
This is the Rick Burgess Show doing what he was
born to do, The Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 3 (01:33:00):
You America, Speedy, Greg Adler, We're all moving through another one.
Andy Andrew's coming up next hour Wednesday Bible Study Back Today,
Job Chapter thirty nine. God looks to the animals who say,
can you do this job? Interesting? The animals that he
selects for his resume interesting.

Speaker 6 (01:33:22):
We'll unpack that.

Speaker 3 (01:33:23):
Today in the Wednesday Bible Study noon Central, one o'clock
Eastern on our YouTube channel. The archive on the podcast
and YouTube channel soon after. So if you gather that
on your own time, guys, I'm afraid we're gonna have
to help a young person out. Okay, And look, sometimes
you need old men like us and Nadler who's somewhat old.

(01:33:47):
He'll be forty in December, by the way, that's real,
that's real. Or zero, you'll be forty.

Speaker 4 (01:33:55):
Yeah, I think I can wear this old man strong
shirt right.

Speaker 3 (01:33:58):
Once I'm forty, I think.

Speaker 7 (01:34:00):
So yeah, come after me.

Speaker 11 (01:34:02):
Yeah yeah, Well, like you know, fifty sixty years ago,
i'd be you know, I'd have a twenty year old
kids that are giving me great I'd be a grandpa.

Speaker 4 (01:34:12):
You know what I'm saying, Like, I think I can
wear this shirt. I think be yet I do.

Speaker 11 (01:34:18):
Yeah, yeah, all right up, my kids, My kids have
brought that about what Santa trying to slowly kill me.

Speaker 3 (01:34:26):
Yes, tiny, Santa, tight, okay, see.

Speaker 4 (01:34:30):
The helf on the shelf, and I'm saying in my house,
that's good.

Speaker 3 (01:34:33):
That's good. Yeah, thanks for taking that before Greg got
you me, Santa. Yes, I'm gonna handle this answer the
best I can, because you know that I tend to
be gentle. Oh, here we go. Yeah, you don't rip
the band aid off? Nothing? No, so uh here we go?
And I did. I did ask. I need some help

(01:34:58):
about something major happening in my life right now. Make
sure it says God. To read their name. To read
their name, you'll be glad to say. I sent back,
am I okay to take this to there? And he said,
of course, that's the reason why I sent it. Okay, okay.
My wife will be more than likely have to get
surgery to have her gallbladder removed soon. As her husband

(01:35:22):
and the father to our five month old boy, I
obviously want to take some time from work to take
care of her and help out with whatever she needs.
But when I brought this up to my boss, I
think I may well, I'm going to say it because
you put it in here. What would you say, boss?
By the way, I work as a delivery driver for

(01:35:44):
a major delivery service. I'll say that, okay. All he
said was, well, it's peak season. You know, you can't
have any time off right now? Right then he continue
to ask me, does your wife not have a sister
or a family member that you watch after her and
your son? I bet that went overwhelmed with the wife. Berge.
Am I crazy for getting offended that my boss thinks

(01:36:05):
I should put delivering packages over my family during this
major medical event because right now I feel like I
can't have nothing. And he got mad when I took
my PTO after my son was born in June. Thanks
for the help that you. I understand your sentiment. I

(01:36:27):
truly do. I truly do. But I also understand the
plight of the business that this is the peak time.
I mean this, this is your job, and this is
what they hired you to do. And uh and you
have you know, you have time you can take off,
I'm sure and if if you can take it, you

(01:36:47):
uh you know, but but there's one of these things
you have to do. I mean days we're talking here,
I don't know. But but I just want to go
back to this because I remember this learning this in
uh in you know what we could couldn't we? But
then he'd have to put his thing on the last.
But that's kind of what I want to see. I
want to last time. It made it well, and that's
kind of what I'm looking you. Okay, judge for for

(01:37:11):
going doing a vox verdict? Or is it too itchy
for you?

Speaker 5 (01:37:14):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:37:14):
It was fine, It's whatever, okay, all right? So this
is what I want right here, this is what I
need frantically running around. You got to move Henry the horse.
What if Henry the horse had a would so I
don't know the situation on hisself. Other day, ignore people.

(01:37:35):
There are people saying that you can't be denied medical leave.
But you can't. But does that include a family member
or is that just includes you?

Speaker 9 (01:37:42):
Guys?

Speaker 3 (01:37:43):
On what your deal is? Right? You'd have to know Greg.
Greg would know this more than me working for a company.
But I do. I do want to make this point.
Uh and and it will not be a popular point.
Let me say, I'm not talking about life and death.
I'm talking about things like this that that need to
be done. I was told early on. Now, look I
work in a business and still here. Remember these are

(01:38:04):
the most brutal people on the planet that work in
the radio business. There's some of those brutal, brutal people
on the planet. But I remember as a young man
bringing some things that was going on that were chaotic
in my my life, and I was told by the
boss that he though he had sympathy for that, that
really wasn't his problem. His problem was whether he was

(01:38:24):
going to have a radio show on the air, and
whether advertising was going to be sold, and whether that
remote was going to happen. And the chaos I created
in my own life was really my responsibility, not his,
or chaos that was happening, and that I needed to
come and do my job. And because that's really not his,
his fault, Uh, he still has to meet the quotas

(01:38:46):
and he still has to in this case deliver the packages.
Now I don't know what their their their plan is
on stuff like this. Uh, but uh yeah, so sorry,
I dropped a hammer again. It's hard, it's hard. It's
hard to rule on this. I see both sides of it.
I think y'all can find a compromise if you if

(01:39:07):
this is not denied you, then it's not an issue.

Speaker 7 (01:39:10):
You get it anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:39:12):
But I understand both sides of it. That sometimes the
things that are going in our personal life, the company
just says you have to deal with that and still
do your job.

Speaker 7 (01:39:22):
And again, it depends on what he's got, right.

Speaker 8 (01:39:25):
Yeah, I think I believe uh, he is protected from
from an immediate family member being able to take care
of them.

Speaker 3 (01:39:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:39:32):
And I think every situation if you're you know, the
caregiver for for someone and it's on you, hopefully the
employer employer works with you.

Speaker 3 (01:39:42):
I feel like there's more we're missing. We'll come back.
We'll be asking for too much time off for it.
We do need to know, we do need to know more,
So we'll come back.

Speaker 7 (01:39:50):
We'll do our official realities.

Speaker 3 (01:39:52):
Judge, if you'll you'll give a minute to consider this,
we'll come back and we'll say what the jury has
come to the conclusion on this.

Speaker 4 (01:39:58):
So I'm going to keep this itchy with on for
this entire career.

Speaker 3 (01:40:01):
I put it on early.

Speaker 7 (01:40:04):
Do you mind doing that?

Speaker 4 (01:40:05):
Why did I put this on right now? So I
just dropped I've dropped a hammer in here.

Speaker 1 (01:40:11):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. Is life statement? Suck
it up, buttercup Ricks.

Speaker 3 (01:40:25):
All right, so we're going to try to rule on this,
and of course we're getting lots of feedback out there,
and so as we worked through the jury, judge, I'm
sorry we had to go to the break there.

Speaker 7 (01:40:35):
I know you had to wear your hair longer. Sorry
about that.

Speaker 3 (01:40:39):
So itchy, so itchy. So what what I would say
is this and what has moved down the line. I
would say to the emailer, you should make every single
effort you possibly can to do one or two things
since it is peak season.

Speaker 7 (01:40:55):
And that your job is very important.

Speaker 3 (01:40:58):
Uh as as and Andrews on his way here as
already text, and I agree with him. Sometimes taking care
of your family is doing your job. That provides for
y'all's livelihood and probably provides the insurance that you know,
and things like that. I don't know, but that also
is taking care of your family. So I would exhaust

(01:41:19):
every effort to find someone to cover or if it's
elective surgery, try to put it off till after peak season.
If you have the days in your contract and there's
nothing they can do, then you certainly can make that decision.
I don't know what the situation is there, there's some
very important details left out, but understand I also come

(01:41:42):
from a culture where taking off from work for other
than vacation is highly irregular and really puts people in
a bond. I have come to work in some pretty
adverse situations that I just made sure they were cut until.

Speaker 7 (01:42:00):
I got on the air, did my job, and then
got home.

Speaker 3 (01:42:03):
But there have also been emergencies where you just didn't
have any choice, and people need to understand that. In
this case, I think the boss is asking you to
exhaust every effort to see if this can be covered
or delayed until after peak season, and I think you
should give the company and your boss that effort. But

(01:42:24):
at the end of the day, if you have the
days in your contract and they can't keep you from
taking them and you have no other option, then you
certainly can take them. But I don't think the boss
is being as unreasonable as you may be portraying him.
But with that being said, that would be my ruling.
Exhaust every effort, try to get do anything you can

(01:42:47):
do for all this to be done, and you can
be there for your wife if no one else can
cover it, see if someone else can cover it till
you get home, and try to see if you can
get outside of the peak season if you can't, and
I guess you'd take them, but but I would say
try everything else first. Don't just go in and say
I'm going home when I know there's other ways.

Speaker 7 (01:43:06):
I could do it. That's my that's my ruling.

Speaker 3 (01:43:10):
Yeah, and I think we all are in agreement and
we understand this well.

Speaker 8 (01:43:16):
I mean, he really brought it down there. The Federal
Medical Leave Act. One of the options here that is
uh that you can have time off is caring for
a spouse, child, or parent with a serious health condition.
So although you're covered for that, to Rick's point, I
think you exhaust and you might not.

Speaker 3 (01:43:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:43:35):
You might live in an area where you don't have mom, dad,
She not have a mom or dad, or a cousin
or a sister or a brother or somebody that can't
jump in and help while you're not there, and then
you're right back. If that's all exhausted, and then you
know you have to then hopefully the employer can work
with you on it.

Speaker 3 (01:43:51):
But which makes it so much harder. Situation, Yeah, Greg,
if you be the wuch you contract is the contrast
says you can take off, take off. If it don't,
then I guess you need to find something else. Yeah.
And and if you're if you're what I'm saying, because
if I can leave, I mean I'll try to work
with you, yeah and all that. But if it says
I can do it, and you really feel like you

(01:44:13):
need to, then do it. Yeah. Uh.

Speaker 8 (01:44:15):
And if you're with one of the bigger providers, uh uh,
then you're probably in a union. Right, So I guess
it's whatever that agreement you should have even be talking
in employer shouldn't have a union rep.

Speaker 3 (01:44:27):
I've been talking to him. Yeah, that's only if you
got agreements or something. You Well, I'm just saying where
I worked it that way, I don't know how it
is everywhere. Yeah. And the one thing whatever the union
if you file, if you file agreements, and yeah, you'd
have representation with And his question was too just so
you have this judge, Am I crazy for getting offended
by this? I do think that you're being too uh

(01:44:49):
too sensitive about being Well, it depends on how he
portrayed it. Yeah, like Jeric abat or he is going
he man, you kill him, right, you know, I really,
but I do think you got to put yourself in
the position of the company too.

Speaker 7 (01:44:58):
It's not just all about you.

Speaker 8 (01:45:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, in your situation, and I miss it's
the Family Medical Leve Act, not federal right, yeah, the f.

Speaker 11 (01:45:07):
M l A.

Speaker 4 (01:45:09):
Yeah, of course, if you go with the f m
l A, you might end up f A f.

Speaker 7 (01:45:15):
O judge, what does that mean?

Speaker 4 (01:45:20):
I won't explain that acronym. I don't want to explain
that acronym.

Speaker 11 (01:45:24):
But yeah, the Family and Medical Leave Act is an
unpaid leave.

Speaker 4 (01:45:30):
There are certain requirements.

Speaker 3 (01:45:32):
They held your job.

Speaker 11 (01:45:33):
You don't get paid, right, You're not gonna be fired,
but it is an unpaid leave. What kind of what
kind of employee you want to be? And how have
how have you contributed? Is your boss gonna when you're gone?
Is your boss gonna feel it and think to themselves that, wow,
that's a good employee. I value them? And are you
hustling to get back? You know, just just use some

(01:45:55):
common sense. I think you guys explained it great, and
you know, do look into what you are legally able
to do. Do what's best for your family, but also
be a good employee. That's if you're I assume you're
a Christian, you know, I don't know it didn't say
anything about that in the letter. But you know, we're
supposed to work as if we were working towards the

(01:46:16):
Lord and everything that we do as Christians. So you know,
I'm wearing a wig and saying that I just remembered that. Yeah,
and it's really itchy. And you know, I lost my
train of thought because it's so itchy.

Speaker 3 (01:46:29):
By the way, I've had my gallbladder out too, and
I was back at work the next day the next day.

Speaker 11 (01:46:35):
Oh okay, well then sir, this is really a thing
about one or two days.

Speaker 3 (01:46:40):
Then. Yeah, you didn't have a baby to take care of. No,
I didn't. No, I'm just saying I don't know that
it'll meet. Oh I'm sorry, I should explain that I
don't know that it'll meet the criteria demanded by that family. Yeah,
and again, we don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:46:53):
That's what I meant.

Speaker 8 (01:46:54):
We kind of need to know more because we don't
really know. But except for what he wrote in the email,
what company worked for and all that.

Speaker 7 (01:47:02):
Yeah, basically it's none of our business.

Speaker 3 (01:47:05):
Thank you broke it.

Speaker 8 (01:47:06):
Really try really try to cover, really try to work
with the employer, and we we, in common sense, will.

Speaker 3 (01:47:12):
Prevail and don't.

Speaker 7 (01:47:12):
Right, the radio station. Ask them about it.

Speaker 4 (01:47:14):
Don't ask us. Maybe don't do that Number one guilty,
that's charge of that. What do we know?

Speaker 6 (01:47:20):
What do we know?

Speaker 11 (01:47:21):
I do know that if you drive a forklift into
a wall, a center block wall and break it, you'll
have to take a drug test and you better hope
that you pass it.

Speaker 7 (01:47:30):
Also know I work for a delivery company.

Speaker 3 (01:47:32):
We said yesterday, if you fall asleep in a truck,
they'll get rid of you. Yeah. Yeah, you can't take
off and help you. Why but you can't sleep in
the t And in a strange irony, I told him
the reason why I fell asleep because my gallbladder was hurting. Yeah,
and I'm trying to recover.

Speaker 11 (01:47:48):
He said, sorry, So good, good question, And we appreciate
you guys coming to the source of information that'd be us.

Speaker 4 (01:47:54):
Right, drop my hammer.

Speaker 11 (01:47:56):
So we're all here, guys, I dropped the ham a
in here.

Speaker 3 (01:48:00):
We all agree you got exhaust every effort to cover this. Yeah, yeah,
well there was even more creative. There was a there
was a time when most people. Yeah, I think that
day's past. Now this person may be a person who
will but.

Speaker 8 (01:48:15):
Hopefully you can find that used to be a member
a church member or a close friend to come and
be with your wife and child while you go to
work and then you come right back hopefully.

Speaker 3 (01:48:25):
But maybe they don't have that. I don't know their situation.

Speaker 11 (01:48:28):
Just be a go getter, you know, be a go
getter for your family, number one, and then be a
go getter for your employer as well, because he's providing
you with that paycheck and that steady job. And it's
peak season, and it's peak season. Yes, I mean, you know,
speaking of go getters. I know I'm an older millennial,
but I'm a millennial. He's got a lot of people

(01:48:49):
have been complaining about millennials. I will say that this
I'm not talking about Brodie's generation. I'm talking about the
generation that is kind of middle school, high.

Speaker 7 (01:48:59):
School, and the generation you're talking.

Speaker 11 (01:49:00):
About that that age is maybe may may make millennials
look like the greatest generation, which is not.

Speaker 4 (01:49:09):
I I'm not happy about that, but it's it's it's
looking rough, guys, it's looking rough.

Speaker 3 (01:49:15):
Yeah, there's some exceptional It's like there's a remnant in
there that I think are better than the millennials.

Speaker 7 (01:49:20):
But then there's a there's a there's another group.

Speaker 11 (01:49:22):
It's Yeah, raised by the internet kind of thing and
not a lot of motivation and not a lot of
common sense with empathy there.

Speaker 3 (01:49:30):
Yeah. I talked to a dad that and he was
talking about his own child, and he loves his child,
and his child is brilliant and his child will do
real well.

Speaker 7 (01:49:38):
He said, my child is.

Speaker 3 (01:49:39):
Searching for a way, for a way to work the
least amount of time that that child possibly can and
still make money. Yeah, except that I want to work
from home. They don't even want to go to an
office in that grade. Yeah, yeah, got to go to
an office, right, but yeah, they still want to be
able to have anything that they.

Speaker 11 (01:50:00):
It's like Harmony says, you know, it's like fifth Harmony says,
you ain't got to go to work.

Speaker 4 (01:50:04):
You can work from home.

Speaker 3 (01:50:05):
You got to know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 4 (01:50:07):
Y'all love that song.

Speaker 3 (01:50:08):
They've got the wig on. But because I lost every effort.
If you can, buddy, we'll be back.

Speaker 1 (01:50:12):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, The man who shaved
thirty minutes off his last road trip. Wick.

Speaker 3 (01:50:32):
I'm looking over here at this wheel, and I see
Andy Andrews walking in. Andy.

Speaker 7 (01:50:37):
Come here, he's gonna be coming up next.

Speaker 3 (01:50:41):
Andy what are you telling Greg, don't y'all, y'all love
y'all up to no good?

Speaker 7 (01:50:44):
Come here, Andy, Come here, here, come here?

Speaker 3 (01:50:46):
All right? So Andy's already here. This question every every
time you're here, comes roaring in. Okay. What is Andy's
real name?

Speaker 7 (01:50:56):
Andrew Andrew?

Speaker 6 (01:50:57):
No, it's not right.

Speaker 3 (01:50:59):
Okay, that's it. I said, Is it Andy is short
for Andrew?

Speaker 6 (01:51:02):
No, it's not.

Speaker 3 (01:51:04):
It's not.

Speaker 6 (01:51:04):
It may be other places, right Andy, Rick, it's not
in my house.

Speaker 3 (01:51:09):
Okay. Yeah, So you use it, are you?

Speaker 6 (01:51:11):
Richard Burgess?

Speaker 7 (01:51:12):
Yes, but I don't go by that, and I go
by Rick. I've never gone by Rick.

Speaker 3 (01:51:18):
So you're saying that Andy comes from your last name
being Andrews. It's like a nick name.

Speaker 2 (01:52:45):
What do you like?

Speaker 4 (01:52:46):
Mc lovin? You know remebend All, It says is mc loven.

Speaker 6 (01:52:52):
I'm hoping one day to be famous enough just to
be go by Andy share Chiro.

Speaker 3 (01:52:58):
And if you have and then if you have a
dispute the artist formerly known Yeah, the little copyright issue. There,
no the I have a story about my name. I
have to tell you the break. Unfortunately. Now let me
let me tell you this. It's slaves and and and
you and we'll get a good laugh about it.

Speaker 6 (01:53:19):
But you guys just watched my podcast next week, I'll
tell you what he said.

Speaker 3 (01:53:23):
It just won't work here. I don't think so you
weighed in on the on the kid or I guess
he's a kid. I shouldn't say that everybody's a kid.
The husband with the with the gallbladder thing. First of all,
it's gall bladder surgery, which honestly, with my own experience,
I didn't find to be that big a deal. But
but again, there's a five month old baby, so I
got all that.

Speaker 6 (01:53:43):
But there is a difference in emergency goll bladder surgery
and goll bladder surgery.

Speaker 7 (01:53:49):
That's correct.

Speaker 6 (01:53:50):
And it sounds like she hasn't got emergency gall bladder
surgery because if it, if it was an emergency, she'd
already had it.

Speaker 3 (01:53:56):
That's correct. And I was told that I was not
to put mine off any longer. It was going to rupture.
You need to have it now right right, and that
and you're still in work next day. I'm not playing
big on that. I wasn't carring around a five month
old baby.

Speaker 6 (01:54:11):
But it's like I have been an employee and I
am an employer, and so I see both sides of
it too. But I but I also my over writing
thought when I was listening to you guys talk about this,
my overwriting thought was, does this guy have any friends?
I mean people at the church, people you know, in

(01:54:33):
the neighbor.

Speaker 7 (01:54:34):
Even if you don't even if you don't have family around.

Speaker 6 (01:54:35):
Yeah, even if you don't have family.

Speaker 3 (01:54:37):
I mean Polly.

Speaker 6 (01:54:38):
You know, Polly had breast cancer a year ago, and
it was pretty serious. Thirteen was thirteen hour surgery and
they and then during the week after, I had two
days that I had to be gone, and so we
got friends to take care. But Polly knew that. She knew.

(01:55:01):
You know, hey, sometimes putting your we always say put
your family first. Yeah, sometimes that means doing your job,
because because if you don't do your job, you're not
putting your family first.

Speaker 2 (01:55:13):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:55:14):
Well it's funny because somebody put on the text line
and I understand the heart part of this sure, who's
going to be there at your deathbed? Your boss are
your wife? And I want to say, who's going to
pay for the funeral?

Speaker 1 (01:55:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:55:25):
No kidding, there are no There are no free busses, right,
there are no free buses.

Speaker 3 (01:55:30):
And uh And I'm not some much being unreasonable, but
this would have been like the way just like you're
in the same situation people are depending on you have dates,
you have contracts and this kind of stuff. But so
I will take Peak season as a working for a
delivery company, which they are, and they work long days
from now on to till we get to January. Right, Okay,
so I'm gonna make that a live show every day. Okay,

(01:55:54):
it's a big deal. When we missed the show, big deal. Yeah, okay,
So here's the deal. What I would immediately done peak
season is a live show the next day. It's not
a regular time. This is a little more priorate priority.
The first thing I would have done is said, hey,
here's when my sweet pies getting the gall ladder surgery.
We got the baby. I would start with family, Can

(01:56:14):
anybody stay with her while I'm at work and I'll
take the shift when I come home.

Speaker 7 (01:56:20):
You know, that's what, that's what a husband does.

Speaker 3 (01:56:22):
And then if that didn't have anything, I would go
Like you said, I would go to all my friends
and we've done this before, sure, I mean, and of
course I'm part of a church. We don't have any family. Yeah,
and the church, my Sunday school class would cover this. Yeah, okay,
I mean it would be no issue. And so I
would exhaust. I would set up a schedule for people

(01:56:45):
to be there while I was at work, and then
I would take over when I got home, and that
would not be and if none of that worked, it
just didn't work, then I would go to the boss
and say I just don't have the other options, and
I'm sorry, yeah, you know, but I would my plan
would I would have never gone to him first and said,
my wife's having gall blurer surgery.

Speaker 7 (01:57:06):
I think I'm gonna take off.

Speaker 6 (01:57:06):
But there's also until I exhausted.

Speaker 3 (01:57:09):
I would have already had it completely planned out where
I would have been there for peak seas taking care
of them.

Speaker 6 (01:57:14):
There's also a way to lay this out to your boss. Okay,
you know, to go in, my wife's having gall bladder surgery.
I need to take off. That's one way, but another
way is to say, hey, I got a challenge here.
I need you to help me think through this. You
know how important this job is to me and how
much I love this job and I love being around

(01:57:36):
you guys. And my my wife is having gall bladder
surgery and so we're having trouble figuring out how to
take care of her during that time, and do you
have any suggestions?

Speaker 3 (01:57:48):
And then you would acknowledge and I understand where it
peaks season, so yeah, it would give me some ideas. Yeah,
what would you do? Help me help me out?

Speaker 6 (01:57:54):
Yeah, because I know where it picked season, because that
that acknowledges that you're not just making a rash decision.
It acknowledges his authority in your life. And I also
thought I thought Adwer had a good point with the
wig on with the wig yeah yeah, and and you know,

(01:58:15):
believe it or not, I just thought about that egg
we being itchy and I lost my training thought.

Speaker 8 (01:58:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but you know, like I know that
with with nursing and stuff, like you know, Tyler's wife,
Maybury is a nursing She's been asked to cover and
pick up a double or whatever. You could also go
to to fellow employees and Shay, can you help me
out on this shift.

Speaker 3 (01:58:38):
I've got a handle.

Speaker 8 (01:58:39):
I'll make good to you in a week and pick
up one of yours. I don't know how that that
dynamic works in the delivery, but also think in the
marriage where it works too.

Speaker 3 (01:58:47):
And we all know this. My wife same with what
sounds like you just went through and Greg all the
my wife is fully aware of what I do for
a living and how it works. And she'll be the
one sometimes it'll say, well, I mean if you if
you're home, then you're not doing a show. You got
to cut those spots with that client. They're gonna have
to reschedule that. You got the Wednesday Bible study today,
that's gonna have to be canceled. How we're gonna get

(01:59:08):
the word to all those people? Then there's gonna be
and then then you've got that one meeting that comes
up after all that's going to be rescheduled. So she's
aware of what her husband does for a living and
aware and is aware of how it all works. I
think that's always important to.

Speaker 6 (01:59:22):
This may take it deeper than you want to take it.

Speaker 3 (01:59:26):
Have you got a minute, we're about to go to break,
But we'll talk when you come back. We come back.
We're getting into the Andy hour. Oh yeah, okay, all right,

Speaker 1 (02:00:24):
Broadcasting from the world the Rich Burgess Show.

Speaker 3 (02:00:28):
Even in real trying to make sense of it all speeding,
Greg Handler, all here, we're running through another show today.
Thank you for being with us. Anything you miss catching
on the daily archives, either on our YouTube channel or
our podcast channel. So keep that in mind for those

(02:00:49):
you out there that may not be aware, you don't
have to miss a minute of the show in your
own time. All right, So, as we are working our
way into the eye where Andy Andrews our guests and Andy, Hello,
how are you doing? Buddy?

Speaker 7 (02:01:07):
So what were you going to say?

Speaker 3 (02:01:08):
Before we get into your official stuff, your official business
may be deeper than you guys want to go. Look,
this show is very deep. I mean, you wouldn't believe this.
You wouldn't believe the shocking conversation we've already had today
dark chocolate.

Speaker 6 (02:01:22):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, sorry I missed that.

Speaker 3 (02:01:26):
We don't cover deep topics, so go ahead.

Speaker 6 (02:01:29):
Well here's here is just a thought that I had.
You know, I heard Adler say that, you know, I
mean you're a Christian. I guess you're a Christian. I
don't know. I didn't ask, And I thought Edward had
a good point about what kind of employee? You know,
what kind of hole do you want to leave in
the place when you leave? And yeah, well that's fine,

(02:01:50):
we don't miss him or oh my, guys, let's cover
we've got to get this guy back, you know, I mean,
what kind of team member are you going to be?
But the Christian thing does it?

Speaker 17 (02:02:02):
Did?

Speaker 6 (02:02:02):
It kind of hit me? And I get a thing
every day it's called The Journey, and it literally takes
thirty seconds to read, and it's every day and it's
like God is talking to you, and so it's the
thing I subscribe to. And today's it said this, and
this really hit me, and then I heard you all

(02:02:23):
talking about this is that for some you will be
the only connection to me that they have in their lives. Furthermore,
that connection might only be an observation of you. Yet
from that engagement, whether a moment of observation or a
longer relationship, that person will form a complex judgment about
you and about me, which will become a shaping part

(02:02:43):
of their life and influence other decisions. Most often you
will not know who this is. So the behavior and
words they observe in you are of critical importance. Imitate
me in everything you do, live a life filled with love,
follow me closely to ensure you're an example of me
for them. And it just occurs to me that, I mean,

(02:03:04):
you know how workplaces are, and it just occurs to
me that there are people that go, well, yeah, he's
a Christian. Well yeah, yeah, that's that's the way they
are and and so, and I know that's getting in
crazy ground, but I just think, yeah, no.

Speaker 3 (02:03:22):
I do think and again, he's got to take care
of everything and all that it can be used in
the right way. There is an approach if the person
is a person of faith that has people thinking, man,
these people have a higher calling on their life on
you know, there's nothing that bothers me more.

Speaker 7 (02:03:40):
And I'm not saying this has anything to do with
his work ethic.

Speaker 3 (02:03:42):
I just think he needs to try to work it
out as best he can and and care about all
aspects of this, not just one. However, on the point
here I have, it does bother me. And we talk
about this a lot, and it's what Adler was talking about,
because it is in scripture that we work in a
way way that we're working for God, because ultimately we

(02:04:03):
answer to Him, not even the person we work for.
But there's nothing I think that sends a worst message.
And I'm not talking about this guy, right, It's just
opened up. The topic is people who walk around putting
Bible verses all over their desk or all over their
workplace and all over their social media. And they have
a terrible work ethic. Yeah, and they're lazy and uh

(02:04:25):
and they're always the complainer. Uh And in the workplace,
as you just said, they're a terrible representation of the
Bible versus on their computer and on their social media. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:04:35):
A lady that used to work for us said that
she would not put an Ikthus you know the fish.
She said she would not put an ikthus on her
car because she said, I get too mad in traffic
and I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:04:48):
And the audience is already saying, no, I don't have
one on my car because if there's an area that
I'm being sanctified in, it's traffic. I am a working progress. Yeah,
oh yeah, Andy, we got some stuff to do today.
You ready go to works? Were gonna work? And what's
the deal if you want to join us?

Speaker 1 (02:05:09):
I'm on BS or is.

Speaker 13 (02:05:10):
The story real?

Speaker 4 (02:05:14):
Berews? Annie Andrews is ready?

Speaker 3 (02:05:18):
Are you.

Speaker 18 (02:05:20):
Here?

Speaker 3 (02:05:20):
Is the story? Okay? So Andy, here are our categories today.
A shocking taste speaking of dark chocolate, just another Soviet fire.
Wow that you come? The bus jumper. It's camel season. Glimmer, glimmer.

(02:05:40):
There they are. Yeah, all right, so let's bring Grant
in here. Grand ready to win every one of them? Grant,
Hey you buddy, Hey, Grant, We're good. I hope that
you're ready to play. Would you like to hear? A
shocking taste? Just another Soviet fire? The bus jumper, its

(02:06:00):
camel season are glimmer, glimmer.

Speaker 12 (02:06:05):
It's camel season.

Speaker 3 (02:06:06):
It's camel season. Saw that coming? Andy?

Speaker 7 (02:06:09):
Here it is? Is this true? Or is it Andy
made it up?

Speaker 6 (02:06:13):
Okay, here we go. Australia is home to the largest
feral camel population in the world, with several million camels
roaming across more than forty percent of Australia's mainland. The
camels are descendants of those imported by Arabic visitors in
the nineteenth century, many of which later escaped or were released.

(02:06:33):
Their presence has become a serious ecological and infrastructure problem.
Feral camels trample and overgrazed vegetation, compete with livestock and
native species for water, damaging watering points, fouling remote water holes,
and accelerating erosion of fragile desert ecosystems. During droughts, as

(02:06:54):
water becomes scarce, camels will move into human settlements, knocking
down doors, damaging air conditioners or water taps, and pressuring
infrastructure To reduce numbers. Open season has been declared on camels.
Shooters head into the deserts and pickups, and it's not
unusual for a shooter to kill one hundred in a day.

(02:07:16):
One shooter sent in country from the Australian Marine shot
more than four hundred and fifty camels in one day
and still not a seeming dentt in the population. As
the camels move into neighborhoods, smashing fences and swing sets.
Is this BS or be true?

Speaker 3 (02:07:34):
Grant b BS.

Speaker 6 (02:07:40):
It's true, It's true. And do you know how I
found out about this? Adam, my youngest son, was watching
YouTube on the big screen one day and I'm looking up.
I just go through the room and there's camels just falling,
just falling, boom, boom, boom. And I said, what are

(02:08:02):
you watching? He said, this is in Australia. I said,
you've got to be kidding me. And he said, look
at this. I've watched this before. This guy kills eighty
four camels, and I mean, it's just like.

Speaker 3 (02:08:13):
Okay, I'm going to ask just a real simple question
because all of us here I've seen the size of
a camel. You're shooting a high powered rifle.

Speaker 6 (02:08:20):
Oh yeah, yeah, you have.

Speaker 7 (02:08:21):
How many times you took a kick on the shoulder.

Speaker 3 (02:08:24):
Shooting that many camels? I mean, you're shooting a lot.
We've had a camel in here in here, big animal,
big one.

Speaker 10 (02:08:33):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (02:08:34):
I didn't realize that they were you shooting really friendly.

Speaker 11 (02:08:38):
You know what, By the way, I saw that, I
rode that camera when it was in here.

Speaker 4 (02:08:42):
What was that? Almost two years.

Speaker 11 (02:08:44):
Ago, I was at a kid's birthday party, rolled up,
same camel was there and he's bigger, He's even bigger
than big and he remembered me.

Speaker 4 (02:08:54):
I was like, buddy, it's me.

Speaker 6 (02:08:55):
He was like, yeah, I remember you.

Speaker 4 (02:09:00):
But the guy says, hey, I forget I feel bad.

Speaker 3 (02:09:02):
I forget that.

Speaker 11 (02:09:03):
It's like Hank, I think it's Hank.

Speaker 3 (02:09:06):
I remember the camel tdler was in here on top
of him. Did you. I didn't know they reproduced at
such a rate. This is not putting it down like
faral hogs.

Speaker 6 (02:09:17):
It's just camel. But they they have camels, rabbits and
amuse in Australia that they're trying to get rid.

Speaker 3 (02:09:23):
Of and they're all pretty pretty good at what they do. Yeah,
all right, we'll come back. We'll take another contestant. So
it's camel season is off the board. Now we'll come
back and we'll get another contestant. Andy is one to
oh yeah, look at he said, looking good looking good,

So a shocking taste, just another Soviet fire. The bus
jumper or glimmer. Glimmer to a bus jumper. All right,
bus jumper, Andy go, all right.

Speaker 6 (02:12:52):
Here we go. In the mid nineteen fifties, Robert Craig
Knievel worked as a copper miner, a hunting guide, a
semi pro hockey player, and even tried ski jumping. Before long, however,
his stunts on motorcycles began drawing crowds, and young Robert
Craig built a reputation in Butte as the local daredevil.

(02:13:15):
In nineteen fifty six, Robert found himself spending a night
in the Butte, Montana jail after being arrested for reckless driving.
In the next cell sat a regular visitor to the jail,
a petty thief named William Kanoffle. Appropriately enough, the jail
guard had taken to calling the return offender awful Knoffle.

(02:13:36):
When the jailer did roll call the next morning, he
laughed as he called out the names Awful Knoffl, then
Evil Canieval, the nickname Stuck had for Canieval. The name
was just too good to waste, though he later adjusted
the spelling to ev e L, dropping the eye to
make it family friendly unless sinister. As the scrappy kid

(02:13:59):
who never back down and didn't mind living close to disaster,
Evil Knievel sounded like a comic book hero, and that's
exactly the energy brought to his motorcycle jumps. Within a
few years, Evil was launching himself over cars, buses, and canyons.
His name became legendary, and all of it. His fame,
his image, and the mythology that followed can be traced

(02:14:20):
back to one jail guard in Butte, Montana, who thought
it was funny to rhyme Awful with canofful and evil
with canevil. Is this bs or be true?

Speaker 3 (02:14:31):
Wow?

Speaker 9 (02:14:32):
Be true?

Speaker 6 (02:14:35):
It is true?

Speaker 13 (02:14:41):
Doug.

Speaker 3 (02:14:48):
Who would you like to spend for you? Andy, Greg,
Speedy Adler or me?

Speaker 4 (02:14:54):
I think Speedy wants some money as much as I.

Speaker 7 (02:14:56):
There so, Speedy, you're on the wheelbag lea.

Speaker 3 (02:15:01):
All right, So Doug, you must say out loud to
Speedy it's.

Speaker 13 (02:15:05):
Will to me.

Speaker 3 (02:15:09):
I go ahead.

Speaker 18 (02:15:10):
I like this.

Speaker 3 (02:15:12):
Look at tax being, Look at that beam.

Speaker 6 (02:15:15):
Been working out a little English only they sure did.

Speaker 3 (02:15:18):
Come on, here we go, Here we go, alrighty, come
on around. Wow, okay, all right, not bad.

Speaker 13 (02:15:36):
Wow, Doug, you.

Speaker 3 (02:15:37):
Were three actually two two from five hundred dollars. I
mean you biggest mistake, Doug was thanking. You think you
can have something, but you got you got.

Speaker 6 (02:15:51):
That's why I Doug can't never have nothing. Nice, hey, I.

Speaker 3 (02:15:53):
Mean we can't have nothing. But anyway, so Doug, you've
got an autograph copy of Men Don't Run in the
Rain Wisdom uh, and you get, of course, everybody who
wins gets a subscription to Wisdom Harbor.

Speaker 5 (02:16:06):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:16:06):
And you will love this material. Especially there's this one
guy on there. His beard's fantastic.

Speaker 6 (02:16:11):
Oh yeah, yeah, but how you think yourself?

Speaker 3 (02:16:17):
This guy? I can't get enough of it. So all right,
let me put you on hold. Thank you, Doug, thanks
for listening to the show. I put you on hole.
We'll get all that information and we'll ship all that
to Weird. Is it that as hard as I spun that? Yeah?
You did landed on the last thing at won? Yeah,
isn't it? We did? Jerome wonted no and something? Did

(02:16:39):
they know? That was two people ago? Yeah? Okay, okay, okay,
all sure, because I signed it yesterday it's to Jerome. Yeah,
that that was yesterday, that was last Friday. Yeah, I
got Jerome. Yeah, what's wrong he was? I said, yeah,
his middle name. If you were about to do Jerome,
I know you and you and I've never seen this before.

(02:17:01):
It's a dark chocolate. You thought better of it? Did
you see him?

Speaker 2 (02:17:05):
Stop?

Speaker 3 (02:17:06):
That's never said Jerome. And I was like, yeah, it
was Jerome, but he was about to crank up a
Jerome comment. And you can do You'll remember his middle name?

Speaker 7 (02:17:15):
Who Jerome's middle name?

Speaker 3 (02:17:16):
Calvin?

Speaker 7 (02:17:17):
Calvin.

Speaker 6 (02:17:18):
I can't believe he got that evil canevel one?

Speaker 3 (02:17:22):
Is that true?

Speaker 18 (02:17:23):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (02:17:24):
I was walking when I found that. I was walking
with Polly and I just did an impromptu I said, hey,
did you know that an awful canonful? And they named
me Evil Canoe and Polly said, that is so stupid.
Don't even use that one. That's just so stupid. And
I said, well, it's true, so I will definitely use it.

Speaker 3 (02:17:46):
He was a hockey player too, right, he said that.
I think he like owned the league or something. Semi.
I didn't know.

Speaker 7 (02:17:55):
He tried snow.

Speaker 3 (02:17:56):
Snow jumping, he jumping, Hey, trying got a little rough
of the law though, Well, when I was a kid,
if a Cane was on TV, I was gonna watch it.

Speaker 6 (02:18:07):
Love events, I believe. I think back on that and
I think about, uh, who is the football announcer that
was his friend? Supposedly Hawker Sell, No, No, Frank Gifford.
Frank Gifford and Frank Gifford they pretended he was. And
when evil caneval wrecked, Frank Gifford goes and hovers over

(02:18:28):
him on his mic and goes, are you okay, buddy?
Are you okay? And as a kid, I was like,
oh my god, But now I'm thinking put a bunch
of crap.

Speaker 3 (02:18:37):
And he would announce his retirement every time. I said,
I will never do it again, and then accord to
my next one. Get me right back.

Speaker 1 (02:18:45):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, the whole of Greg
Burch's America's Life Coach, the Rick Burchers Show.

Speaker 3 (02:19:10):
Yeah, all right, we're back. Thank you for being with
us America and we are having a blast. We're glad
that you are here as well as we work through
another one. All right, let's see we can't get one,
maybe two more that can play, and we'll see if
we can't get another winner. Let's go to Ben. Ben,

(02:19:33):
is I the great state of Mississippi?

Speaker 1 (02:19:35):
Hello?

Speaker 7 (02:19:35):
Ben, how are you?

Speaker 3 (02:19:37):
I'm doing well? Y'all doing all right? We're good. Here
we go. All that's left a shocking taste? Just another
Soviet fire glimmer, glimmer? Which one a shocking taste? A
shocking taste? Stand by, Ben, Here we go all right.

Speaker 6 (02:19:56):
In the nineteen twenties, as electricity was transforming modern life,
inventors tried to electrify nearly everything. Razors, heated socks, even
hair brushes, which eventually became curling irons. Perhaps the strangest
experiment of all came from a Philadelphia cafe owner who
claimed to have created electric soup. After customers complained that

(02:20:18):
soups cooled too quickly in winter, he rigged up small
copper wires around the base of his serving bowls and
connected them to a mild current from a nearby battery.
When charged, the bowl would stay warm, and the diners
swore they could taste the energy easy. Soon other cafes
copied the idea, advertising electric soup are in some places

(02:20:40):
lightning stew as a novelty dining experience. Patrons claimed the
soup gave them tingling lips and a vitalizing warmth. Engineers
and doctors debated whether the faint current actually stimulated digestion.
For a few months. Electric soup was a craze in
Philadelphia that reached up to New York City and as
far south as Richmond, Virginia. It was equal parts science

(02:21:04):
and showmanship, but the fad fizzled when regulators stepped in,
alarmed by reports of diners getting minor shocks and waiters
dropping bowls mid service. Still, the concept quietly lived on.
Modern self heating lunch containers and temperature regulated mugs trace
their lineage, at least in spirit, to that brief moment

(02:21:24):
when Philadelphians thought a jolt of electricity might make their
soup just a little bit better BS or be trick?

Speaker 12 (02:21:32):
Oh Denny, you're gonna say that one is BS?

Speaker 6 (02:21:39):
Why it seems so true? It is BS.

Speaker 4 (02:21:47):
I can't you believe being beat me on that.

Speaker 3 (02:21:50):
I was already marketing taste the energy.

Speaker 6 (02:21:55):
I'm glad I'm getting wisdom Harbor, But I'm sorry he
beat me. Wisdom Harbor.

Speaker 3 (02:21:59):
You see what else you can get on the wheel?
Who you want to spend for you?

Speaker 9 (02:22:04):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (02:22:04):
Andy and and.

Speaker 1 (02:22:09):
Money money.

Speaker 3 (02:22:10):
All right, man, let's see if he's got the magic touch.
Come on now, all right, So Ben, say to Andy,
it's will to me, It's will to me.

Speaker 5 (02:22:18):
Let it rip, Andy.

Speaker 3 (02:22:19):
Oh smooth, he was smooth with that will. It's like
he's spun a will before. That ain't his first will.
Let's see what happens. Oh boy, he's put you in
no winds landing. Okay, all right, you got Wisdom Harbor
and you've got to You got two subscriptions today, one
to Wisdom Harbor and now one to Blaze TV. Blaze

(02:22:41):
TV loaded without standing programming. Uh, and you never have
to worry about Disney taking away into programming and holding
you hostage. All right, so Ben, we're gonna put you
on hold, get all your information, and thank you so
much for listening to the show. Yes, sir, thank you guys.
I appreciate it. Yeah, man, all right, let's go. We're
staying in Mississippi. You'd rather are not, because Mississippi they playing,

(02:23:03):
they got you down, Yeah, Mississippy. Scott Scott in Mississippi,
Hey Scott, how you doing?

Speaker 7 (02:23:11):
I'm good man.

Speaker 3 (02:23:12):
Do you want just another Soviet fire or Glamer.

Speaker 1 (02:23:15):
Glamour let's go with glimmer glam.

Speaker 6 (02:23:18):
All right, glimmer glamor here we In the early nineteen hundreds,
when cities on the East coast of America were racing
to adopt electric street lighting, one naturalist working in Charleston
insisted he had a cheaper alternative, glowworms. He believed that
the tiny animals suspended inside glass globes could provide a soft,

(02:23:39):
steady light without the cost of gas or wiring. With
municipal approval for a trial, he collected jars of glowworms
from the countryside and fitted them into prototype lamps along
a quiet street in Charleston. At first, the idea seemed promising.
Passersby called it Moonlight in a bottle. The inventor argued
that each lamp could be replenished nightly with fresh glow

(02:24:03):
worms brought in by school children who would earn pennies
for their efforts. The problems soon became obvious. The light
was far too dim to read by let alone illuminated street,
and within hours the worms stopped glowing unless constantly disturbed.
Worse still, the lamps attracted moths, bats, and curious cats,
turning the street into a nightly feeding ground. By winter,

(02:24:26):
the city quietly removed the glow worm globes, leaving only
a handful of dusty jars in a local Charleston museum
as proof of one of the history's most impractical lighting schemes.
Bs or be true, Wow, glimmer and glimmer. I'll be true.
It's bsme same, Mississippi.

Speaker 7 (02:24:53):
This is the final one, final one, final one.

Speaker 3 (02:24:56):
That was a good one.

Speaker 7 (02:24:56):
We go to Kentucky.

Speaker 3 (02:24:58):
Jay, how are you, buddy, I'm good Jay.

Speaker 7 (02:25:01):
I mean Kentucky needs a win.

Speaker 3 (02:25:04):
Boy.

Speaker 7 (02:25:05):
Okay, right here we go.

Speaker 3 (02:25:07):
You only have one left.

Speaker 7 (02:25:09):
You have just another Soviet fire.

Speaker 6 (02:25:11):
Here we get let it happen. In the nineteen fifties,
a little known Soviet meteorologist named doctor Pavel ya Oshinko
proposed what he called the thermal domino hypothesis. He claimed
that industrial suit from factories soot soot from factories. Hey,

(02:25:31):
I read it like it was this suit. He claimed
that industrial soot from factories traveled through the jet stream,
darkening snow in polar regions and further absorbing sunlight. According
to his theory, a small rise in Arctic temperatures would
trigger a chain of ocean current shifts each amplifying the next,

(02:25:53):
until global climate zones effectively swapped places. Europe, he predicted,
would one day resemble the deserts of North Africa, while
the Sahara would bloom as fertile farmland. For three decades,
his work was published in obscure Russian journals and dismissed
as Cold War pseudoscience, but declassified meteorology. Declassified meteorological data

(02:26:17):
in the nineteen eighties revealed evidence supporting Yarashenko's model. NASA
researchers noted soot patterns over Greenland that eerily matched Jarashenko's
original maps. Journalists dug into the archives and found that
Yarshenko's team had simulated this global inversion using the first

(02:26:38):
hand cranked mechanical computers, a remarkable feat for its time.
The twist came when one of his surviving students revealed
that the Soviet government had quietly continued testing in Siberia
using controlled forest fire burns to adjust regional temperatures, and

(02:26:58):
climate change theory accelerated. Historians now treated as a fascinating, fascinating,
if murky footnote in the Tangled history of climate science.
Half born of politics and half born of forest fire,
smoke bs or.

Speaker 3 (02:27:15):
Be true good night.

Speaker 6 (02:27:17):
I'm all said, be true. Well, like all climate stuff,
it's b s.

Speaker 3 (02:27:32):
If he was standing hit moonwalk right now.

Speaker 12 (02:27:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:27:37):
But so here's what I want to say on that too.
It's funny you brought that topic up. So I was
watching speaking of meteorology. Of course I have James SPAN's
app as all people should, sure, and I was catching
him in the Deep South. You know, we're coming out
of another Arctic blast.

Speaker 7 (02:27:54):
It lasted forty eight hours.

Speaker 6 (02:27:56):
Also also as predicted the worst hurricane sea and in
the history of the planet, right, yeah, we didn't get
a sniff, right, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:28:04):
So anyway, just saying he was showing that in some
of the Deep South places they had new record lows
for this time of year, which you know, climate people love.
The only problem is the record was broken from temperatures.
The last record was in the nineteen twenties. The nineteen twenties,

(02:28:25):
So it may be that weather has these natural cycles
and a falling creation. It'd be one thing to say
it has gradually gotten colder. It hasn't. It was really
really cold in the Deep South in a winter. Well
that's fall of in the twenties and a lot of

(02:28:46):
record temperatures in the twenties, and then it just got
broken in in twenty twenty five. So that kind of
throws all demand made because remember even cold weather is
global warming and climate change once, yeah, it's all now
anything's climate.

Speaker 6 (02:29:03):
Well, you know, in the in the forties and fifties,
the temperature in the South was so hot that where
I live Orange Beach, Alabama, it was orange groves. It
was total orange groves. You can still or until the
past couple of years, you could still see some of
these legacy trees. I mean, there was a lady in
bear Point that had a naval orange tree that was

(02:29:26):
forty feet high and it'd have two thousand naval oranges
on it every year. We had in our yard we
had two grapefruit trees that yeahrud, yeah, yeah, and they
would have over one thousand each on them every year,
and they weren't but twelve or fourteen years old. And
I mean we planted them after Ivan and so so.

(02:29:48):
But now we had forty citrus trees in our yard
and they were doing really good, but the coals started
getting worse and worse and worse. Now we have none,
I mean, and there are none down there, and so
I'm like, hey, if this global warming thing keeps up,
we're gonna we're all gonna freeze.

Speaker 4 (02:30:09):
Today, so we'll come back.

Speaker 3 (02:30:11):
I want Andy to experience something unscreen phone calls. I
want I want him to experience it. Okay, unscreened phone calls.

We go to the phones, unscreened phone calls. Hello, you're
on the show. Good morning guys, are you We're fantastic?

Speaker 1 (02:33:00):
Awesome?

Speaker 3 (02:33:01):
Good uh Rick.

Speaker 12 (02:33:02):
I want to get your opinion if Georgia does not
make it to the SEC Championship game where the committee
still put them in the playoffs.

Speaker 19 (02:33:11):
I think they will.

Speaker 7 (02:33:12):
I think they will too.

Speaker 3 (02:33:13):
I agree with you now, Yeah, I do, because I
think they're learning let's just get the best. I think
they're a little embarrassed by the early matchups last year
and they're trying to keep that from happening. Yeah, I'd
like to know what the record is that if they
don't make it, how would that happen. I'll probably have
two losses. Maybe they've got Georgia Tech and I forget
who that's left. Yeah, but do they have a road
to the championship right now? If Alabama and A and

(02:33:34):
M keep winning, No to the SEC.

Speaker 7 (02:33:37):
Champions That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (02:33:38):
Yeah, No, But looking at the rankings. I mean, you've
got so they could win the teams in the top
but I mean they could win out yeah, and just
not go to the so the record would be still fantastic.

Speaker 6 (02:33:49):
Yeah, we could just do the SEC championship, call it
a year.

Speaker 3 (02:33:53):
Yeah, they've got Texas, Charlotte and Georgia Tech left.

Speaker 7 (02:33:57):
That's good.

Speaker 3 (02:33:58):
They got some. They got some games to win. Rick
Birders show unscreen phone calls.

Speaker 18 (02:34:01):
Go ahead, Hey, Hadler, that mystery free you're referring to
earlier was from your time back in Texas, and I
believe you were correct, but you slaughtered the pronunciation and
the seed is actually.

Speaker 12 (02:34:17):
We call it chid nuts here.

Speaker 11 (02:34:19):
Okay, No, but I called it a low quait. I
called it a low quate. I'm just gonna keep moving on.

Speaker 4 (02:34:25):
I'm going I called it a low It's a low quat.

Speaker 6 (02:34:28):
Like they grew up. They grow well in suit. Yes,
they do vilize them with suit.

Speaker 7 (02:34:34):
You must listened to all time to understand all the jokes.

Speaker 4 (02:34:36):
Words are hard.

Speaker 7 (02:34:37):
Rick Birders show unscreen phone calls.

Speaker 3 (02:34:39):
Don't I know it?

Speaker 12 (02:34:39):
Go ahead, Hey, hey, this is Baker up in Kentucky
deer hunting right now?

Speaker 7 (02:34:44):
All right, Hey, look anything moving anything, moving.

Speaker 12 (02:34:48):
A couple of young ones out. But hey, I had
a question about hunting. So in Kentucky, Dave asked us
to harvest a certain amount of dose in each county,
and our county is just over thirteen hundred. Didn't know
if Alabama had goals set up like that.

Speaker 6 (02:35:04):
We've had it for years. Yes, I mean you're just
getting into this, yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:35:08):
And and and one of the problems we've got right
now is people aren't taking the dose. And I mean
we're we're we went from not having any deer to
replenishing deer to being overrun with deer. Yeah. And uh.
And if you don't believe that, just asked my wife
who went for went from protecting them to saying how
many are you allowed to kill? Right? Yeah? Sure they

(02:35:29):
eat everything they come. I mean they I mean for.

Speaker 6 (02:35:31):
A long time it was a deer a day.

Speaker 3 (02:35:34):
Yeah. Yeah, they brought back this year. You can do
two doys a day now, yeah, because of it. So,
but I don't know what our number is that I've
never heard per county, but I'm sure they have.

Speaker 6 (02:35:46):
I know a caretaker at a hunting camp in South
Alabama that gave my boys his guns last week, and
one of them was a thirty thirty not in great shape.
He said, I fired so much out of this gun.
The rifling is not really good anymore. But I've killed
over a thousand deer with this rifle. And we're like,

(02:36:07):
are you kidding?

Speaker 7 (02:36:07):
One thousand?

Speaker 6 (02:36:08):
Yeah, and he said, he said, yeah. One year the
club needed to get rid of a bunch of deer,
and I shot one hundred and twenty four dos in
one year with that rifle. And so that's just how overrun.
That's Kentucky. You're late to the game. We have been
overrun for a long time.

Speaker 3 (02:36:26):
And the problem is it's the reason why you still
see spotted fawns so late in the year. God made them.
They're going to breed and they're going to produce offspring.
And if there's so many dos for I won't get
graphic here. The bucks can't keep up, all right. They're
going to just keep coming around and coming around and
coming around till they get bread. And they're getting bred

(02:36:46):
later and later and later because there's so many of them.

Speaker 6 (02:36:48):
When is your rut where you are?

Speaker 7 (02:36:50):
Where my place is? I'd rather not say, Okay, I'll
tell you in the break.

Speaker 3 (02:36:54):
Okay, because I know, but it varies based on where
they were reapling it is from.

Speaker 6 (02:36:59):
Right, Yeah, I know in Kentucky the ruts like October
and where we are it's late January.

Speaker 3 (02:37:05):
Well, yeah, in the counties in Alabama very wildly, because
we replenished here from all over the country. Yeah, so
wherever they came from, they still rut during that time.
Isn't that weird?

Speaker 7 (02:37:15):
We continue Rick Burgess Show, unscreen phone calls.

Speaker 3 (02:37:17):
Go, are y'all good? I just want to let you
normally enjoin Andy in the Handyman Show today.

Speaker 12 (02:37:24):
I'll came up to good work.

Speaker 3 (02:37:26):
You know, I'm a handy man now, Andy, so we
can do it. We are doing podcast Andy in the
Handy and in the Rick Burgess Show. Unscreen phone calls
come on with it? All right, hey now Rick Burgess Show.
Unscreen phone calls come on with it.

Speaker 5 (02:37:41):
Oh great, Larry, Larry, Ry, Lry Larry.

Speaker 3 (02:37:47):
What's on your mind today, buddy, Andy? How you doing?

Speaker 5 (02:37:51):
Good?

Speaker 6 (02:37:51):
Good Larry? How are you doing? I know who you are?
Good morning?

Speaker 3 (02:38:00):
There they go, there they go. They wanted I thought
they wanted more.

Speaker 7 (02:38:08):
Just say hey to Andy, how about that.

Speaker 3 (02:38:11):
We're gonna talk about the rug now. We're going to break.

Speaker 7 (02:38:15):
We're gonna talk about the rug.

Speaker 13 (02:38:16):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (02:38:17):
Andy, grat to see you.

Speaker 3 (02:38:18):
Ye good work. Uh And and we got big plans
for Andy coming up on our first ever Christmas on
the Rick Bird Tomedy Hour.

Speaker 7 (02:38:28):
Thanks for being with us.

Speaker 1 (02:38:29):

Speaker 13 (02:38:49):
Listen up like we say, you got a.

Speaker 1 (02:38:58):
Fine The Voice of Reason in an Unreasonable World, The
Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 3 (02:39:08):
All right, America, thanks for being with us. As we
start a brand new hour, the gang is all here.
And then we got Speedy, we got Greg, we got Ada.

Speaker 9 (02:39:17):
Do you want that?

Speaker 3 (02:39:19):
I'll get you. As we start this hour, We've got
a lot to cover. We'll get maybe unscreen phone calls again,
probably so probably so, maybe a little more Hey Birds stories,
So we'll run down. So we welcome it to a
brand new hour. We got Wednesday Bible Study today. If
that is a regular for you, or maybe maybe it's not,

(02:39:44):
but you'd like for it to be a regular. The
Book of Job chapter thirty nine. Today, we have just
started God giving his resume. That's pretty important information. That's
live noon Central, one o'clock Eastern on the YouTube channel.
The archive will be ready soon after. She can grab
it on your own time. So we invite you to
that today, and of course, if you're in town and

(02:40:05):
you're a man, you can join us in the studio.
And a lot of men do, all right, So as
we start the hour, a couple of things to discuss.
Add or let's talk about Pat McAfee. Let's let's hit
one one c So, so Pat McAfee interviewed Donald Trump,

(02:40:29):
and he of course in a shocker as we kind
of talked about way back earlier in the show, he
took heat for it.

Speaker 20 (02:40:35):
I don't know why anybody I'm talking about. I wouldn't
let any I wouldn't let everybody give me heat as
a conservative. If I had interviewed Obama in Biden, if
either one of them would have given us an interview,
if I can interview the president of the president of
the United States, I'm going to. I don't even care

(02:40:57):
what party they represent, because I must attack him.

Speaker 3 (02:40:59):
Though I won't got in trouble because he was cutting
up having fun with yeh see, I will humanized.

Speaker 7 (02:41:05):
I wouldn't attack Biden and uh and Obama.

Speaker 3 (02:41:09):
I would be respectful, and I might disagree with policy.

Speaker 7 (02:41:12):
And and have them, you know, discuss that.

Speaker 3 (02:41:15):
But I would treat them with respect, and eventually, you know,
I would make sure that Speedy was assigned to Joe
Biden in case he wandered off. But but the but
this was.

Speaker 8 (02:41:25):
A really cool moment, Yeah, I thought. And you know
how Pat gets everybody going, oh yeah, you know, uh,
we stand up in the chair. Yeah and uh and
the President called into a show and you'll see what happened.

Speaker 6 (02:41:36):
All right, Well, we love them. They are a special group. Indeed,
mister President, have you ever done an oohrah to a
bunch of marines? Not the kind that I just heard.
I just heard a level of professionalism with with the
way they did it.

Speaker 3 (02:41:53):
That I don't think anybody could match it, to be honest,
that's very.

Speaker 6 (02:41:56):
Impressive, mister President. Why don't you draw up an h
real quick? I will urrah. Okay, we love everything about that.

Speaker 3 (02:42:08):
Let's pivot away from obviously all the.

Speaker 6 (02:42:10):
Great work that the VA and you all are trying
to do for our vets in our military.

Speaker 3 (02:42:14):
And then they move on.

Speaker 8 (02:42:14):
But the segment started with Pat McAfee did it, And
that's what.

Speaker 3 (02:42:18):
Trump was referring to. And that's where two hundred and
fiftieth birthday of the Marines that we had talked about. Yeah,
and it was yesterday on Veterans Day.

Speaker 4 (02:42:26):
I skipped ahead speedy. I'm sorry, I.

Speaker 3 (02:42:28):
Begin No, that's just what he was referring to, is all.

Speaker 4 (02:42:31):
And here it is.

Speaker 7 (02:42:32):
You want that too?

Speaker 3 (02:42:35):
There you go. And you know, President Trump is the
first sitting president to attend a regular season NFL game
and joined the broadcast in the booth and actually called
a player or two for the commanders this past weekend.
So he's been making his rounds about.

Speaker 11 (02:42:53):
That the flyover was amazing. Air Force one actually did
the flyover and to see Air Force one going over a.

Speaker 3 (02:43:02):
Stadium, that's crazy. Is look at that? Yeah, that's pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (02:43:07):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:43:08):
Also another one that I want to hit while we
have this adler is Pierce Morgan. U two A there,
Pierce Morgan. If you remember, and I remember when you
had the the Aaron Rodgers, you had the Novak joke, Djokovic, Djokovic,
I said, like that, you have it. You had these

(02:43:30):
people that had the audacity to stand up and say,
I'm not going to be mandated to take a you know,
an unproven experimental vaccine that's been rushed to market. I'm
not going to do it. I think I'm healthy. I
believe I can battle through COVID if I get it.
And remember, a lot of people were very critical of
those who took that point of view. Of course, now

(02:43:52):
those people look a lot smarter, uh than maybe they
were they were portrayed to be.

Speaker 7 (02:43:58):
Then Pierce Morgan, I give him credit.

Speaker 3 (02:44:01):
He has the opportunity to apologize for being critical of
Novak and he says that he was wrong. And so
here here's Pierce Morgan.

Speaker 10 (02:44:13):
I'm going to start by making an apology, and it's
for this is. I was very censorious about you over
the COVID scandal that you got caught up in and
in a nutshell, you got thrown out of Australia over
what seemed to be, on the face of it, from
what the media were being told and what was being reported,

(02:44:35):
was you trying to bend the rules of getting into
playing Australian Open without having taken the COVID vaccine. And
I was actually quite censorious about a lot of people
at the time, and I've since apologized to some people
for being too tough on them, because once it became
clear that if you had the vaccine, it made no
difference to whether you could then transmit the virus. Clearly,

(02:44:58):
at that point, for me, it becomes a personal choice
if the potential danger is irrelevant compared to whether you
have the job or not. And so I have on
that basis, said I believe the vaccines were important. I
think they saved a lot of lives. I had lots
of people in my life at the time who were
going through a terrible time.

Speaker 4 (02:45:18):
So he went on, but yeah, yeah, I thought that was.

Speaker 3 (02:45:21):
Cool, and I even like the way Pierce Morgan framed it,
and others need to do the same.

Speaker 7 (02:45:28):
Even if you.

Speaker 3 (02:45:29):
Still believe that the COVID vaccine was the best thing
for your body, if you were to contract COVID, that's
perfectly fine. Now, he says, since the transmitting of the
virus had nothing to do with vaccinated or unvaccinated. Now
it's none of our business the personal choice that people make.

(02:45:51):
The reason why they were saying it's not personal because
it affects other people. When they realized that if you
were vaccinated, you passed it just like people who weren't vaccinated, well,
then it just gets down to whether you think the
vaccine is best for you personally or not. So you
should have been able to make that decision on your
own because it doesn't really impact other people. Now you
may say it impacts people that depend on you if

(02:46:13):
you don't take the vaccine in it and it goes poorly,
I would say the proof that taking the vaccine versus
having a if you were healthy and had a strong
immune system, whether there was it was going to change
your experience, I would argue, I don't think it really did.
But the big argument was you're being mean because now

(02:46:35):
you're going to pass it on and kill your grandmother.
And we realize now, well, if you were vaccinated, you
could pass it on and kill your grandmother as well.
So now it just came down to how do you
think it'll affect your personal health, which means now that's
nobody's business, it's your own decision. That sure, people should
not have been mandated to get the vaccine because the
premise they were using was incorrect. And so Pierce Morgan's

(02:46:58):
coming back and saying I was on the wrong side
of that, and I apologize. I respect somebody doing that,
and I also happened a lot, and in all fairness,
I also understand. I mean, I had people even say
that to sharing me that people that we love that
we were being mean because we wouldn't take the vaccine.
And I understand the propaganda. You were being shoveled. I

(02:47:19):
guess I can see how you bought into that. So
I think we can all look at each other and go, hey,
we all got called in a bad situation here, you know,
and we did the best we could with it. But
you you don't need to continue to demonize people when
they've been proven to not be guilty of what you're accusing.
A love as I respect him for doing that. We'll

(02:47:40):
be back. We got a lot more to cover as
we moved through another hour of The Rick Burgess Show.
Don't forget if you're ever trying to communicate with us,
you can text us at the same number you call us.

Speaker 7 (02:47:51):
You also can email us.

Speaker 3 (02:47:52):
I'll find our emails at rickburgesshow dot com under the team.

Speaker 1 (02:47:57):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. All I want for
Christmas is cold, hard cash. The cash countdown to Christmas

(02:48:20):
is coming soon. Only here on the Rick Burgess.

Speaker 3 (02:48:24):
Saint Rick handing out money this year. Yeah, I hope
you've been paying attention. You need to know what's going
You need to know a lot about the show. Now
I'm talking about this show, this last year, all the
things that have happened this year. It's it's going to
be a comprehensive test. Oh do you remember the glimming

(02:48:45):
doom of that when you your teacher would say the
final will be comprehensive. Yeah, Now they're going to find
out if we really know the material. Nothing worse multiple
choice when you need it. Oh my goodness, I thought
we were just talked about the last stuff you talked.
I don't remember what we've done all semester or quarter.

Speaker 8 (02:49:04):
No, you just are we it's got through that each test,
and then now we got a full review.

Speaker 3 (02:49:09):
Hold on, that's cruel. I can still see my my
dad's face. How does somebody go to college for an
entire quarter and receive zero credit? And unfortunately I said
it was not easy. He didn't like that. He did
not care for that. What happened? If you do it
two times in a row, they ask you to leave.
Yes they do great, Yes, trust me, yes they do. Yes,

(02:49:31):
they'll give you one. Luckily. I don't know if I've
ever mentioned I was playing football at the time, because
I played the you know a little ball and I
tell you what I'll do. If you're still on the
football team. It'll get somebody else to fill out your
schedule for the next quarter. Yeah, gets you in that
canoeing class. I can, I can still. I can still
remember my my coach screaming out, who in the world

(02:49:52):
got Burgess's classes this time? Do you do it on
his own? Remember Greg, your favorite guy, the guy that
dog just saw when we came met about math. Oh,
it's not because you can't do that. I remember that
he was I've never had anybody get on me and
not even know me yet. Yeah. I mean he didn't
like the football players at all. And the fact that

(02:50:13):
I was wearing oh Man undershirt the class. He didn't care.
He didn't must have been pictured day.

Speaker 19 (02:50:20):
Oh well we come in here, we owned the football team,
we come in here in the class. Well, then you'll
come in here and you and then and well, I'll
struggle because you won't do the work, and you'll struggle
on the test. And it's not because you can't do it,
it's because you can't be bothered with it, you know,
actually preparing and studying the material.

Speaker 3 (02:50:39):
And I was like, this is first day. I'm trying
to find my safe in this class. I thought I
was supposed to be in marriage and family. Yeah, how
did I? Uh, it's harder than an you think, Well,
it is.

Speaker 7 (02:50:52):
It's tough one, it is, and.

Speaker 3 (02:50:54):
But everything requires a little bit of study, right, and
you know it's it's the same problem with the marriage
and family the class as we have with marriage and family.
Can't seem to get the guys engaged.

Speaker 7 (02:51:04):
But anyway, so.

Speaker 8 (02:51:07):
Uh and the problem that I had is I couldn't
quite seem to get out of my own way.

Speaker 7 (02:51:12):
Oh buddy, by the way, I was saved. Hey, such
a bad student. I'm so sorry for a bad a student. Also,
I apologized my family.

Speaker 3 (02:51:20):
I apologize every teacher ever had I just I just
I just that just was a bad environment for me.

Speaker 6 (02:51:25):
Mhmm.

Speaker 3 (02:51:26):
I meant, well, I did. I didn't mean any trouble.
But uh, I would say that I did the best
I could. But that's not true. That's not true.

Speaker 7 (02:51:34):
How about the about this? I did not do the
best I could.

Speaker 8 (02:51:37):
Remember when you decided to do the best I was
willing to remember when you had decide to skip class,
thinking there would never be any repolis.

Speaker 3 (02:51:44):
Yeah, and then eventually it did come back home, and
once you started, it becomes a bad habit. By the way,
I good, I think you did it. I think you
did too. I cut so bad one time. I forgot
about that class. Yeah, that had been so long, I
don't even know. I was like, well, four classes, I'm
only going to three? Where's the fourth one? And oh

(02:52:07):
that was the one over in that building. Forgot all
about it. The McRib is back.

Speaker 1 (02:52:13):
We left.

Speaker 3 (02:52:16):
I don't have a relationship with the McRib. Did you know?

Speaker 7 (02:52:19):
I've never eaten one.

Speaker 3 (02:52:20):
Never, I've never. I've looked at it and go I
don't want to eat that. I know people that love them.
By the way, Adler, should I give it a try?
Have you ever eaten a McRib?

Speaker 11 (02:52:29):
I've had a couple of bites and the first bite
is actually really good. Second bite not as good. Third bite,
You're like, I should throw this in the trash before
it kills me?

Speaker 7 (02:52:39):
Are the third bite? Would this? Is this too much?
Is the third bite?

Speaker 3 (02:52:45):
What have I done? Oh?

Speaker 18 (02:52:46):
No?

Speaker 3 (02:52:46):
What have I done? Yes?

Speaker 7 (02:52:48):
Okay, you had one for speed?

Speaker 3 (02:52:50):
I can't remember it. I've never had.

Speaker 7 (02:52:52):
I've never had one. I've been scared of in my
whole life.

Speaker 3 (02:52:54):
I can remember like thinking, I think that honestly a
fake rib. I think if it was the only thing available,
I would just wait. Yeah, yeah, you know, because you're right,
it's not a rib. It's it's shape like you ever seen.
You've ever seen them made, you ever seen the process.
You don't come out of the front. Oh my goodness,

(02:53:14):
eating eating the bones. I mean even when I was
a teenager bones.

Speaker 4 (02:53:19):
I know, it just set it upon.

Speaker 3 (02:53:23):
It, some type of pork something.

Speaker 2 (02:53:25):
It is.

Speaker 3 (02:53:25):
Well, what they've done, they've built it to look that
way like you would take rim samon. Do you know
how those molds where you can make a cookie like
a Christmas tree? Yes, that it's it's it's some sort
of kind of mold, maybe many a many slab of ribs,
some kind of mold a bone nowhere. There's some kind
of process meat that the people that make deviled ham
wouldn't even tell you.

Speaker 7 (02:53:46):
By the way, who knows.

Speaker 3 (02:53:47):
What devil kid? I loved it. It'll make you think
they put the devil on the on the labe before
a reason. Oh yeah, he had to pitch for it.
About to go pitch fork them in Testines? You're all right,
so we got.

Speaker 4 (02:53:59):
People are buying the molds online and making their own.
And those actually two look good. They're using hand like pork.

Speaker 3 (02:54:07):
Okay, real pork. Yeah? Anybody think that this McRib is
real pork? Anybody some of it? No, it's pork byproduct,
says it, says McRib.

Speaker 8 (02:54:19):
Patty and green the lips, chunks of boneless pork. Picnic meat.

Speaker 3 (02:54:23):
What kind of man do not pork? What picnic? Yeah?
What you mean by picnic?

Speaker 9 (02:54:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (02:54:30):
Added water is added to the pork, salt to the
season of the meat, rosemary extract.

Speaker 12 (02:54:40):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:54:40):
And then we got some type of sugar used as
a sweetener. All right, Greg, Right now, I'm pushing a
plate over in front of you, and I have on
one side Brussels sprouts.

Speaker 7 (02:54:53):
On the other side, I have the mitrib.

Speaker 3 (02:54:54):
I've eaten Brussels sprouts, so you try them. Yeah, I've
eaten them roasted. The other you're not bad roast? Not
bad with a steak now if you if you haven't boiled,
I'm not crazy about but no, but I wouldn't take
that over the maga rib.

Speaker 7 (02:55:08):
Okay, all right, I see it.

Speaker 8 (02:55:09):
It's coming from the shoulder, the pork button. No, it's
not boneless. It says boneless pork shoulder. That is ground.

Speaker 3 (02:55:16):
Okay, it's ground, all pressed into the shape of Okay, Greg,
I put over in front of you, I make rib sandwich,
or I have in front of you the m sardines.
You know, I used to eat sardines when I was
a kid, so you're still back at least I've eaten
that before. I haven't eaten it before, but I'm tempting

(02:55:39):
to go to the makea rib on that. Why I've
eaten sardines and it kind of grosses myself out when
I think, what what you fish and a can? That
bothers me? What about that spinal cord? They got.

Speaker 8 (02:55:50):
What nott being of sausage with it? I love to
be in sausage, so you tear it up now.

Speaker 3 (02:55:54):
I liked it better the barbecue flavor you got the
Biana sausage. It's in barbecue sauce and some crackers. So
many of them just slimy plain ones against the English
peace grib what I'm still going to English peer, I
hate the whole thing, or just take a bye. No,
you had to tell things? Do I get English peace

(02:56:16):
with something like the flavor? It just English fee's just
as as bland as they could be.

Speaker 11 (02:56:22):
Salt and pepper and English piece is not bad, guys
as a side.

Speaker 3 (02:56:27):
Right now, I will tell you this. Now we get
down and I'm I'm real, real hungry. You could taught
me in the you could. I'll admit that if I
was starving, if I was neked and afraid. Yeah, and
I'm gonna tell you this. I think if I ate one,
it would be better than I think it is now.
Probably go. That's pretty good. And but but that also,
but that didn't take away the danger. You remember talking

(02:56:49):
about weird sandwiches and we were coming up. Burger King
had the young bow.

Prager and I see that we have an update, and
I know it's going to make me sad. So the
you know, Dennis Prager had a fall, and I mean
he's been paralyzed in I don't think there's is there

(02:58:55):
hope that he will ever be like fully recovered. Dennis
Prague is a brilliant man, Preger, you is. It's a
really good resource. And the things they research and the
things they have all good stuff in Dennish Prager. So
I see you have him on the video. Is this

Speaker 7 (02:59:25):
Yeah, Well it's it's sad, it's really bad.

Speaker 3 (02:59:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (02:59:28):
He had a fall in November of twenty twenty four,
which resulted in a severe spinal cord injury, leaving him
paralyzed from the shoulder down. Oh my god that initially
he had no mobility, no speech. He has since regained
some of his breathing function and speaking, So he is,

(02:59:49):
he is improving, but it's slowly but surely. He is
still paralyzed from the shoulders down.

Speaker 12 (02:59:56):
And he.

Speaker 4 (02:59:59):
Talks about that in a very unique way.

Speaker 3 (03:00:02):
Here and what are you doing?

Speaker 7 (03:00:05):
I mean, how about I love Dennis Brager. Am I
gonna see him?

Speaker 6 (03:00:08):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (03:00:09):
Is this gonna be hard for me to see? Yes? Yes?
Well then why are we doing it?

Speaker 6 (03:00:13):
Well?

Speaker 11 (03:00:13):
He makes a great point and he talks about making
peace with his situation and applies it to other people.

Speaker 3 (03:00:19):
Understood.

Speaker 9 (03:00:20):
Okay, you can't become the other sex.

Speaker 3 (03:00:25):
You can't.

Speaker 9 (03:00:26):
It's just the way it is. You can't become another species.
You can't becoming the other sex. You can think you are,
like I think my fingers are moving, but they're not moving,
nor have you moved. The trick is to make peace

(03:00:52):
with the sex into which you were conceived and came
into this world. That's it. That that's what responsible therapy
would involve.

Speaker 3 (03:01:07):
Not let me.

Speaker 9 (03:01:10):
Help you accept your delusion. Would a doctor help me
help me? Right now, Dennis, If you think you're moving
your fingers, you really are. We're going to affirm that
you're moving your figures. That would not help me.

Speaker 3 (03:01:35):
Oh my goodness. Incredible point, But that was hard. That
was hard.

Speaker 7 (03:01:41):
Look, it's taken greg completely out speedy.

Speaker 4 (03:01:44):
You can talk, but you don't have to just sit
there with your hand over your mouth.

Speaker 3 (03:01:48):
I get His point is fantastic Like that all that's
how he always is such an incredible communicator.

Speaker 11 (03:01:55):
You can talk, you can talk that a No, it
wasn't a I know what made you uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 (03:02:01):
But he's one of these people. He's one of these
people that is so unique in our society because he's
one of these people that can actually walk out his
narrative and he actually can make his point in a
way that you go, Okay. If you've never been familiar
with him, you know it's and they got some incredible
young people that are trying to help young people. You
know what. They won't just come out and tell us.

(03:02:22):
It was like he fell down the steps of his house.

Speaker 4 (03:02:24):
It was a fall in his house.

Speaker 3 (03:02:26):
Yeah, now I'm thrown in steps, but I mean, it's
no one will. They won't just tell us for some reason.
I've listened to many updates and they never tell us.
I don't know why. I think it's my business, but
I want to know.

Speaker 4 (03:02:38):
And Rick didn't mean anything, y'all stop commenting. He didn't
read anything by walking that point out.

Speaker 3 (03:02:44):
I'm sorry, that's a I was figuring you said that. Rick,
I didn't mean to. Okay, I know you didn't mean to,
but you know that's a common phrase.

Speaker 11 (03:02:52):
It was.

Speaker 3 (03:02:53):
It meant no disrespect. I have great respect for Dennis Prager.
They found him in his home laying on the floor,
and then I'm swimming that I don't know all the details.
I know all you can think about is how you
could have helped. But I know, I just I don't know.
A fall that's a that's a pretty.

Speaker 7 (03:03:10):
Yeah, I mean, we fail it was bad.

Speaker 4 (03:03:14):
Maybe he was on a ladder or something, but he didn't.

Speaker 11 (03:03:16):
He had had previous back surgeries, so maybe that left
him more vulnerable to possibly a catastrophic spinal injury, which.

Speaker 3 (03:03:26):
Is strangely Strangely enough, this brings us to Caitlyn Jenner.
Uh parallel it transitions well, now the point about transgendersm Oh, yeah, yeah,
that's right.

Speaker 7 (03:03:38):
Yeah, don't forget the point he was made. I know,
I know you never could because you probably didn't hear
where he said for good.

Speaker 3 (03:03:44):
I was just watching it and Greg Greg you know
either Greg, a great point he did. Uh, But you
and Greg you've told us this before that Caitlyn Jenner
angers a lot, because at least Caitlyn Jenner. I know
this sounds odd considering that he's now living his life
as a woman, but there still seems to be just
a smidge of logic except for the I'm a woman

(03:04:05):
not a man thing. YEP, I agree with with with
Bruce Caitlin whatever a lot he is agreeing with the
IOC and by the way, me and spe discussed this
he's more qualified to have this opinion than anybody. Caitlyn
Jenner Bruce is backing the IOC move to ban transgender

(03:04:29):
women biological men from the Olympics. After the review finds
I love this, they're now agreeing, well, we've looked into it.
Now there is an unfair advantage. Well, welcome to the part.
I think that box heard that this beat the crab
by those women. Finally questions, Yeah, yeah, this was breaking yesterday,
and so here is what Listen to this. I want

(03:04:50):
you to think about what Dennis Brager just said, and
I want you to think about the Bruce Caitlyn Jenner thing.
I'm a trans woman, but I I'm still biologically male.

Speaker 7 (03:05:05):
I'm x y.

Speaker 3 (03:05:06):
There's nothing I can do to change that. Males do
have a better advantage, a big advantage in sports over women.
It's just not fair. Listen to these statements from a
trans woman. Just because I'm trans woman does not make
me any less biologically male. I'm ex y. There's nothing

(03:05:28):
I can do to change that that gives me and
all men a better advantage, a big advantage in sports
over women. It's just not fair. And as y'all have said,
you can't say this is somebody crying who doesn't understand
this is somebody will be different.

Speaker 9 (03:05:44):
You know.

Speaker 3 (03:05:45):
How can you just sit there and deny this part
of their transition to being a woman. And the reason
why is a trans woman just said because I can,
in my mind, in my dress even try to make
some surgical changes if I want. I'll never change X Y,
which gives me a physical advantage over women. And also

(03:06:07):
and nothing nothing will change that, no makeup, no surgeries,
not the perfect outfit with the right pair of shoes, it.

Speaker 7 (03:06:15):
Nothing will change that.

Speaker 3 (03:06:16):
And being transgender, and the fact that I was an
Olympic athlete. I think I'm extremely qualified to talk about it,
That's correct, you know. And how about this? A person
that is extremely able to talk about this, I mean
has had I mean, no one can speak to it
any clearer though than him.

Speaker 7 (03:06:37):
He agrees in just what was already logical.

Speaker 3 (03:06:41):
Yeah, do you want to hear do you want to
hear from something about this is hard? For the first
time that you just landed on earth? Would you think
that's a woman?

Speaker 9 (03:06:49):
Is this?

Speaker 3 (03:06:50):
Is this the second work where we just listened to
difficult to listen to audio?

Speaker 2 (03:06:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:06:53):
Okay, all right is this? Look at is that?

Speaker 1 (03:06:57):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (03:06:58):
No mind?

Speaker 21 (03:06:58):
I am a trans woman, but I am still biologically
male onm x Y. There's nothing I can do to
change that. Males do have a better advantage and much bigger,
a big advantage in sports over women. It's just not
fair and we have to do the right thing. If

(03:07:22):
we don't stop it now, it will just destroy women's sports.
And it's not just the girls that are competing today,
but what about the young women that are coming up?
And you look at Title nine. Title line is so
much for women's sports, and they're gonna say, you know what,
I don't even want to play sports? Why because I
have to play against men? And it'll just slowly rode

(03:07:43):
away women's sports.

Speaker 11 (03:07:45):
Whoever does Caitlyn Jenns' makeup does a good job, because mine, Wow, okay,
a lot of paint, like about a lot of nosework.

Speaker 3 (03:07:54):
But if in nineteen seventy six he decided to compete
as a female, oh when he was in the top
VISU what do you you're talking about domination?

Speaker 6 (03:08:01):
Oh, so there you go.

Speaker 4 (03:08:06):
Trans women are women.

Speaker 3 (03:08:08):
No, I'm sorry, it's just not true.

Speaker 7 (03:08:11):
Not biologically, they're not.

Speaker 4 (03:08:12):
All trans women are not women there there, This is
the student make.

Speaker 1 (03:08:15):

Speaker 7 (03:09:42):
Yes, you're saying, I'm like this pizza guy.

Speaker 4 (03:09:44):
You know you're not OCD in neither is he. You

Speaker 3 (03:10:05):
You're looking to doctor.

Speaker 7 (03:10:07):
Okay, okay, did you missed the face? That you missed
the face and it was hurt?

Speaker 3 (03:10:12):
Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (03:10:14):
When a customer comes in for a slice, I got
him there.

Speaker 22 (03:10:20):
You have to take off the dispatcher and it's not
fully cut. It drives me insane. That's why the guys
go here. They think I'm like, oh c D. But
you know that's just the way I am. I like
to stay on top of things and make sure everything
is okay.

Speaker 3 (03:10:32):
He goes.

Speaker 1 (03:10:32):
You know what, if you're not on top of your
business and you standards all low.

Speaker 22 (03:10:37):
It's a it's a recipe for disaster. Hopefully I passed
that on to the other The new generation putting on
is the sweet regutta recatta cheese.

Speaker 3 (03:10:48):
I don't want that.

Speaker 4 (03:10:50):
I don't want it.

Speaker 1 (03:10:51):
Comes fresh mutz, fresh tomato, sauce.

Speaker 9 (03:10:54):
We're gonna top this with bezo.

Speaker 4 (03:10:55):
The regutta recalled romano romano.

Speaker 3 (03:10:59):
I didn't in a commind now, I cut that all
the way through.

Speaker 4 (03:11:04):
Peer or aman.

Speaker 7 (03:11:06):
You think that's something that makes a good want to
eat there? I wish I was there right now.

Speaker 4 (03:11:11):
And the pepperoni is almost burnt.

Speaker 3 (03:11:13):
The pepperoni, it's got to curl up.

Speaker 6 (03:11:15):
Pepper it curls up on the beauty.

Speaker 4 (03:11:18):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (03:11:22):
I eat it just what they like. That looks good.
It was real good. But did you hear what you're saying?
Sometimes O c D is misinterpreted. You know, somebody says, oh,
you like things to be excellent. How about this. I
like things to be excellent. I like things to be
well done. I like things to be done the right way. Okay,

(03:11:46):
so a whole less so if I half do everything, yeah,
this is you like that edit And things are just
thrown to and things are just thrown together, then the
good that will free me of any accusation of O
c D. Yeah, got everything. Everybody's everything subpar, it's moderately okay,
well good you didn't have O c D. Everything's crappy

(03:12:08):
and it's a mess and you can't depend on anything.
Nothing's organized. But thank goodness, you didn't have O c D. M.
It's just trying. You're trying to defend some of your
stan I understand pizza guy completely. I mean, you had
his apron on, do you, But I do. I do
hate when it's not cut all the way yes, because

(03:12:29):
then but then you because then you start trying to
not cut all the way through. It takes like a
section of the other topping of the other side.

Speaker 4 (03:12:36):
Yes, it's a disaster.

Speaker 8 (03:12:39):
Now you got this slice hanging off a heell, I
don't know, and you know I'm a customer, and then
you're doing this shot slice shot got in your mind?

Speaker 22 (03:12:52):
That's why the guys go ahead. They think I'm like, oh,
c D. But you know that's just the way I am.
I like to stay on top of things.

Speaker 3 (03:12:59):
Amen, like that guy the way I am. You stay
on top of things so things don't get messed up.

Speaker 5 (03:13:04):
You got dirt.

Speaker 3 (03:13:08):
Voice? Is that trying to defend some of your decisions.

Speaker 4 (03:13:12):
The browning on the pepperoni changes the taste of it.
It's not just text, it's texture and holds the juices.
It changes the taste of the.

Speaker 3 (03:13:22):
Tiny little pepperoni cup.

Speaker 4 (03:13:25):
