SPONSOR: BLAZETV -- BlazeTV doesn’t exist without people like you, who genuinely care about preserving honest conversation in this country. You’ve seen what’s happening on the right: the gatekeeping, the approved narratives, the pressure for everyone to fall in line. That’s not who we are. We’re not bound to talking points or beholden to anyone’s agenda. We don’t have to check our convictions with a corporate sponsor before we speak. We show up with one thing: the freedom to tell the truth as we see it. And that freedom only exists because of BlazeTV subscribers. Once a year, we lower the barrier for people who want to be part of this movement, people who refuse to sit on the sidelines. Right now, for Black Friday only, you can get $40 off a BlazeTV annual subscription. If you’ve been on the fence, this is the moment. Not because of a discount, but because your subscription actually keeps independent voices alive, voices that aren’t controlled by Big Tech, advertisers, or political gatekeepers. You make it possible for us to keep fighting, creating, and telling the truth without compromise. If you believe America is still worth fighting for, this is your moment to join the fight. And if you’re already a subscriber, THANK YOU. You make all of this possible. to someone who needs a space free from filtered, “approved” opinions.
Thank you so much for watching and continuing to support the movement that we’re building together.

What's up?

Speaker 2 (00:00):
Is Adler, video producer for The Rick Burgess Show. Just
a quick heads up. This first segment of the show
is real and it's gonna get awkward. I'm running on
three hours of sleep over the last two nights combined,
just dealing with kids and things like that, and that's
no excuse. And I kind of kind of snap on

(00:20):
the guys and it's not cool and it's awkward and
that should never happen. And I need sleep. I'm sleep
deprived and that's not an excuse. That is just it
should never happen. Rick and I spoke immediately after this
segment occurs. I apologize to the guys. This should never happen.
It's gonna get awkward. We do address it later on

(00:42):
in the show, and Speedy and Rick handled this with
class and grace. Thanks so much for watching The Rick
Burgess Show on YouTube. Buckle up. It's gonna get awkward,
but don't worry, we smooth things out. Appreciate y'all listening.
Hope you all have a great weekend.

Speaker 5 (04:03):
How about Voxy? I was talking to I was talking
to my bride. Uh, she was up with me this morning.
We were sitting there spending our little quiet time talking
and I looked down at the text. I said, well,
I knew baby brothers out today, and she goes, oh, yeah, Well,
I said, lee Le's I've never had an abscess tooth.
I understand it is terrible, terrible, and I hope to

(04:26):
not have one. It's one of those things where you
hear about when somebody says they've passed a stone. You're like, man,
I hope I don't have to pass the stone. I
know people that have passed tons of them, you know,
if they get kidney stones all the time. So I don't.
I don't. I don't know about what it feels like
to have an abscess. I know it's not fun. I
know it's very painful, horrible. Uh so have you ever

(04:48):
had one?

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Never had one? My grandfather had an abscess on his
spine and that was a whole nother thing. You asked
some questions. If you want some answers to them, I've
got you. Bombs and blades. Hot Sauce is out of Enterprise, Alabama.
And I think they misspelled that city in Florida because
it looks like Okalla O c A l a is

(05:10):
Tapo is right there in the middle there. Yeah, now
that I've heard south of Gainesville.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
Oh yeah, nice, Yeah, you're right, probably probably send us
some hot sauce.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:22):
So so we were going back and forth. Now this
is where things get awkward as as men here. Okay,
because first of all, we need to care about Leeley.
That is number one concern, okay, number one. Our number
two concern should be the show. Okay, okay, And deer
we're going in order, yeah, and deer hunting are to

(05:43):
be are to be down there at three and four. Okay.
Now we all know that we love what we do
for a living, and we love the deer hunt. Okay, yep,
and we're we're glad to be here and we want
Leelee to be to get relief and be better. And
Greg's doing his job. I was a husband, and we
applauded him for that. I brought in something for breakfast

(06:04):
I wouldn't have brought in if Greg was here. That
kind of stuff. Uh, you know, And and don't don't
underestimate it. By the way, it's good. Okay, Okay, we're
not gonna speak of it, but it's good. So the
first thing that you know, how your wifle. We've talked
how they'll just tilt their heads at you, like, what
are you doing? And she goes, so, what are you

(06:26):
doing right now? I thought was gonna said, I'm just typing.
I'm texting to Greg. She goes, okay, so you got
stuff at work you have to like find out from
him so y' all can cover. And I realized that
that does make more sense. But that wasn't what I
was texting about. You know what I was texting about, Oh,
sure you think you still make the hunt?

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, hey man, I'm glad you're handed in your business.
Now you're gonna wrap that up before we go out.

Speaker 5 (06:48):
Listen. And instead of me trying to help him, get
Leelee some and doctor Dudeney's involved, so we're trying to
get this done. Me trying to get Leee help. Yesterday
should have been so he could be on the show, okay,
and it began it turned into me trying to make
sure he could make the hunt. Look, I'm not proud

(07:09):
of that. That's those moments where you realize you got
a problem. Yeah, even before Hunting, we ought to care
about Greg him. I still haven't cared about him yet. No,
what I'm saying is, let me tell you what I
care about him. Is we need him to cover that spot.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
I haven't texted him yet.

Speaker 9 (07:24):
Let me see.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Hey, Greg, sorry to hear that. Do you think he'll
still be able to go hunting?

Speaker 8 (07:30):
Scent? All right? Good?

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Hey, that's what he just just jump in there with that.

Speaker 10 (07:35):
You know what?

Speaker 5 (07:35):
You know what Adler's thinking, I'm gonna get greg spot. Yeah,
because he knows family. He'll probably get so the more
premier spots when we go hunting.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
But now it's really more motivation for Adler because now
he definitely wants to take one, and he can send
the picture of what Greg would have had. That's right, Hey, Adler,
you realize now if Greg didn't go, you get his spot.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
That's good, that's true. Hey, I think I feel good
about your chances this weekend.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Son, not your son.

Speaker 5 (08:02):
I meant that. I mean, I mean like this song.
You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
I'm actually still kind of mad about all the fun
y'all had yesterday. You do that every time I hunt,
what's close out and stuff. It's honestly, really really not cool.
Really you do it every time, and the whole hunting experience.
I'm not joking around at all.

Speaker 5 (08:25):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Kisses me off a lot.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Make sure they'll never say I'm bald again.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
That's not it, that's not that's a joke. Hey, get
ahead on your bald head.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
That's not about turn into these weird cartoon villains and
spend ten minutes hacking to each other. And I'm just like, dude,
this is nobody thought this was funny fifteen minutes ago,
and it honestly is not cool. And I tried to
not do it, but y'all jumped into it again, and
I'm just being real as hell right now. It's not

(08:58):
that it's not cool, do you. You're the one that
mentioned you just now, well Speedy brings seven hats.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, you go ahead and get all jokes out. I'll
stop all that.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
And honestly, it ruins my hunting experience. I don't want
to don't want to go.

Speaker 5 (09:13):
Well, for me to be clear, right then, what I
was talking about that had nothing to do with that. Yeah,
it was all about trying to get you on to
do here. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Look, I'm sorry, but it ruins my hunting experience. And
it hurts my heart to know that you guys say
that stuff about me, man, and I'm just losing my mind.
Right now because I woke up at one thirty this
morning changing sheets. I woke up at one thirty the
night before changing sheets. And I'm sorry that I'm losing

(09:41):
my mind right now. Straight up, I'm straight up losing
my mind right now. And it hurts my heart when
you guys have that much fun and it's obvious I'm
not having fun, okay, And I'm sorry that we had
to have this conversation on the air. It's incredibly awkward
and I'm very embarrassed right now. Let me just sorry
that we had to have this conversation on the air.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Well, let me just tell you that was never my intention.
If I knew I was heard about it, I knew
I was hurting you, I never would do.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
There's the thing, as I've thought about this a lot,
and it happens, you know, it honestly happens on this show.
It happens about every month or two. Like I'm honestly
like down for like a day or two, and it
happens every month or two. And that really I thought
about it a lot. Last night. I'm like, am I
being overly sensitive?

Speaker 1 (10:23):
No, I'm not.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
It happens every month or two, and I know I'm
being in the same camp as the ninth grader that
we were accused of cheating yesterday, which is hilarious because
we talked about that. But it's just man, when it
stops being funny on the air and you guys keep
going and you're burning time until we get to a break,
it just really makes me feel like I am the

(10:44):
just I'm covering the cost until we get to a break,
and that is not cool, and it's not an environment
I want to work in. Franklin. It's really not cool.
So I'm so sorry that I'm losing my mind and
having a mental break on the air right now. But
I'm seriously agitated with both.

Speaker 11 (11:00):
Of you guys.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
I love you guys, but it's seriously I don't I
don't want to go hunting if you guys are gonna
treat me like that the entire time. And I know
I'm being a woods and a whim and and I'm
having a mental breakdown on the air right now, but
I'm just telling y' all the truth.

Speaker 12 (11:12):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, the hardest working men

(11:56):
in the business, the Rick Burgers Show, and.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
We are backed as we moved to another one, so
still to come today. Be listening for the word, because
we have a word. You'll be texting that real real
early in the show yesterday. We will. We'll text it
on the normal number, so that that number has not changed.
I think most of you had gotten that. Uh, it's

(12:23):
the number we've always had since the beginning of the
show eight eight eight this year eight eight eight six
Big Vox eight eight eight six two four four eight
six nine. So so if you text that same exact number, yes,
we have a new phone number because of the contest
and the load on that H two oh five five
three zero one thousand, So that's the same, okay. So

(12:46):
so we will we will give you that word at
some point on the show today, and we only give
it one time, and you got to be listening for that.
And now if you want to pass that along to
other people, that's fine. So we also have the box
seats in today. We're sorry Greg is not here, but
it couldn't be helped. So you guys will be here,
will have a great time. Somebody and the Vox Seeds
at least one possibly others will have a chance to

(13:10):
shoot basketball for a chance to win some of the
Christmas cash today. We'll also have opportunities for the entire
audience today too to be paying attention for that. So
that kind that's kind of setting you up on the
opportunities for money.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Now.

Speaker 5 (13:24):
Yesterday, at about this same time, we gave this update
on on the Michigan coach. Yeah, and it just got
weirder as the day went on.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
It did, and you know some of the stuff that
we were because I mean, we were trying to hold
back and not not not really talk about maybe rumors
or things that were coming out on social media until
there was a little bit more concrete evidence of it.
And now all the major publications are pretty much saying
the same thing, and that is coach Cheron Moore. He

(13:53):
was a very disturbed individual and sadly his his wife,
life and and and kids are going to be the
victims here because what he's done to this family is
just it's so sad. Uh And so Michigan finds out
uh this this uh I guess assistant came forward and

(14:16):
went to uh I guess they call it the hill
or what if they were? She went by a stafford.
She was an assistant. She went she was he his
personalist assistant. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, it was a I
think she either reported directly to him or was an
assistant within the office of some aspect, and I guess

(14:38):
rumors of this relationship had pretty much been called. There's
there's reports that he paid for a procedure for her
and doubled her salary even though her role did not expand,
and she went uh and had all the evidence, uh
and said, look, here's all the text messages, here's our
relationship proof. And that's when the universe he said that

(15:00):
we have credible evidence, and so he's fired. So then
he goes home and then there's a verbal altercation with
his wife, and one thing led to another. He went
over to this assistant's house, and then that's when there's
reports that he had a knife on himself and said
that he was going to to you know, take care

(15:22):
of both of them and harm both of them. And
then so the police were called, and one thing led
to another, and now there's there's TMZ's obtained nine to
one one audio reporting of the knife thread and the
stalking that they say he was doing on this this
this female assistant. Over the last few months. Now there's
people that has this come forward and saying, hey, he

(15:44):
reached out to me online. There's even people on social
media saying this doesn't surprise me. He kind of DMed
me or whatever. And you just wonder how some do
You never know what somebody's going through, obviously, but you
just wonder how in the world a man that you know,
he had everything as far as career goes. It sounds

(16:06):
like he had a beautiful family, how he would how
he would get off in this road on this road
because now now look what he's got. He's got nothing
and he's in jail awaiting arraignment. But that's kind of
the update, without going into too many details, that's kind
of where it is. But now there's proof of that.
Yesterday there was speculations, so we kind of held back

(16:28):
on giving out too much information. A we didn't want
to be wrong, and B it was just like everything was.
You were hearing different things, even though a lot of
it was the same. But that's kind of the latest now, well,
and you hate that, and I do.

Speaker 5 (16:43):
I think this, what's the guy that's on ESPN Ryan
on what's his last name on the ESPN? Yeah, Ryan
I Williams. Yeah, I can't he he was on Ryan
I think Ryan Clark, Yes, Ryan Clark, you know, I
understand what Ryan Clark is saying. Of course he makes

(17:05):
everything racial, you know, doing that, I would tell Ryan Clark,
I would, I would hope it's people that we have
moved forward. See some of these people that want us
to move on, which they claim they do, but they
really don't on the color of someone's skin, which is absurd.
The things that have been done because of the color

(17:27):
of somebody's skin. What Sharon Moore has done is immoral
and wrong. And he is a human being. He's not
a black man who's done things wrong. Well, you know
if a white man had done this and a black man.
The bottom line is Sharon Moore is in trouble because
of his immoral behavior. It really doesn't matter what color

(17:51):
is skin is and this thing of now, nobody's going
to hire a black coach because do you really think
that we are so shallow as a as a race.
And I know there's people that are this shallow, but
I'm talking about people that matter that we are looking
at this going. We know this has never happened with
anybody of any other color. It absolutely has. I mean,

(18:12):
how about this, this is a story that is as
old as the fall of mankind. It's horrible, it's terrible,
and it's firable, and he should be punished to the
full extent of the law, and he'll pay a price
for his actions. But that's the case no matter what
color his skin is. And Ryan Clark has to go

(18:32):
and say he's let down the entire I hope that
black people don't feel like that. You know, your your
future and and and your ability to advance with your
talent is limited about because of a black man's behavior.
I mean that he's just a man. It's a man's behavior.

(18:54):
It's a human being that's being punished for being immoral.
That's the end of it. So but I mean, I
know there's some you know, the Hodge Twins and all
them cutting up about it. I mean, that's different. But
I don't know if y'all have or not. I've been
I've been paying attention to men in powerful positions of
all ethnicities, with young women around them, and just women

(19:18):
in general. Yeah, and I've seen them get in trouble
just like this, unfortunately too many times.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
And now the part about him being dangerous and trying
to harm himself and all that. Now that that needs
to be addressed in a different way. Yeah, we'll be
back at bottom of the hour.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 5 (19:42):
Don't have to tell you college is a major investment.
I don't have to tell you that if you haven't
been through it. Those of us that have, hey wow.
And it just keeps getting more expensive as the years
go by. So make sure you're making an investment in
your child's future that's going to be beneficial, not detrimental.

(20:06):
What do I mean by that, Well, find out about it,
because some of you say, birds, I got it covered.

may not mean anything. Sometimes it can be even worse
because they're fed a bunch of false theology. So why

Speaker 3 (21:47):
Who removed the phrase what's You're no good? From Society Week.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Birches, we are back.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Thank you for being with us today.

Speaker 5 (22:03):
So some of you are saying, on what we just
talked about, Yeah, anybody ever heard of Bobby Patrino. Yeah,
I remember that one pretty well. Uh so, well, you
know you.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Hadad and we're talking again about the Michigan head coach
his dismissal, and then it just escalates from there. You know,
you wish somebody could have got him after the dismissal
because then you just go and you make it worse
because now you have all these other charges and you're
threatening people and scaring people, and you got knives out

(22:35):
and now it's escalated to the point you're in jail.
You know what I'm saying. I mean, there's been as
unfortunate as it is. You have the the football and
the professional side, and that's my job. And then and
then and then you you leave and do something like that.
Now it's escalated to where it is is now it's
it's just.

Speaker 5 (22:55):
Sad, guys. I'm going to just think about the consider
we're talking about how this went. I have a simply
safe commercial right, Oh yeah, I mean that point now,
simply safe dot com slash big vox. I mean, god forbid. Uh,
you know you have someone coming on your property. I
mean we just saw the headlines there.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Uh and uh.

Speaker 5 (23:15):
And it's one thing. In the old school days of
security systems, they could be reactive, okay, uh, and that's
certainly better than nothing. But but now with simply safe
uh dot com slash big voks, we can be proactive,
meaning we can keep the break in from ever taking place.
So if someone comes on the property, these AI powered

(23:36):
cameras will alert a human being who is monitoring, and
then that human being uh comes uh I mean and
interacts through the camera and audibly with the intruder, letting
them know that they see them and that they've contacted
law enforcement. They can they can start sirens blaring all

(23:57):
of that in real time. So this is just a
I mean, this is taking security to a different place.
So and at fifty percent off for a new system.
Right now, you're in business simplysafe dot com slash big vox,
Simply safe dot com slash big vox, or you can
use that link at Rick Burgess Show dot com right

(24:18):
there under the sponsors button. So we do have opportunities
for you to win coming up on the show throughout
the show. And Greg is not here today, but he
will be back on Monday, and he may or may
not be able to join us for the hunt this weekend.
But his I mean, Leeley's fine, but it's something, you know,

(24:40):
an abscess is so painful and a problematic and Dudeney's
on it and they're trying to get that handled today
hopefully sooner than later. So now I have not heard this.
This is something that came from probably one of our
most loyal lamb Chop lamp Shop, from you're fam here
with lamp Shop. It is a haybird.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
I'm not in the new it is. You may have
already covered this, but we have not.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
We have not.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
I just heard this.

Speaker 5 (25:19):
Fox News reports a North Carolina school district superintendent is
getting called out by a state senator over a book
that was published a few years ago. I can't believe
I'm just now hearing about it. I don't. I want
you all to stand by for the name of this book.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Are you all ready? Okay?

Speaker 5 (25:38):
Santa's husband, Santa's husband. I got sick at my stomach
over the video where an individual was reading this trashed
of little children. Missus Claws is not mentioned. It totally
ignores the story that has been told for hundreds of years.
It doesn't explain if missus Claws and Santa met beforehand
and they got divorced or something like that. Oh great,

(26:00):
but what we have here is Santa now has a dude,
a boyfriend. It tells the story like it's normal for
this to for these two men to have this kind
of relationship, And it has every kind of lifestyle box
checked on a confused society, not just subtle but blatantly.

(26:24):
I have five grandkids. I'll try anything I can to
prevent my house from me subjected to such a weird,
evil message. I'm not familiar with this.

Speaker 8 (26:34):
Well.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
I did a quick I said two years ago. I
did a quick search here. This one was published in
twenty seventeen. Okay, so that's that's now called Santa's Husband.
Unless this is something different.

Speaker 5 (26:46):
Well maybe lamb chot. When he said two years ago,
he said, no, I'm sorry, he said a few years ago.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Okay, So I guess it's Chris Kringle and it's a
book that tells the story of a black Santa his
white husband and their life and the North Pole.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
Oh my goodness, now.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Kissing good night?

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Uh it?

Speaker 5 (27:10):
Uh yeah, oh wow, suddenly Mama's not kissing Santa. Daddy
is Santa's has been?

Speaker 1 (27:17):
No, it's a it's a cherished symbol of the holiday season.
Uh no, we have black, we have gay, and we
have married. It says here and the and this is it.
I'm reading the illustration of the book. Sure the breakdown
Holy mackerel. Yeah that well it can't. I don't know

(27:38):
why is it a story now?

Speaker 5 (27:40):
Because of this that the superintendent started using it or
something and a senator has called him out in North Carolina,
those of you North Carolina probably know this better. But
but but anyway, so it's it's.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
A it says it's a holiday children's book. No, what
there it is?

Speaker 5 (27:57):
Adder has found it. Yeah, Lee's husband. That I mean,
it's one thing to be jolly, but it's quite another.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
To be brings a new meaning to jolly.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
It's just so uh so anyway that No, I did
not know about that lamb chop, and I'm kind of
sick at my stomach that that these things. Of course
it's twenty seventeen. Again, I don't understand why it's a story.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Okay, he's they decided that they wanted their kids to
only know Santa as black, so if they saw a
white Santa, they would just say that's his husband.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
The more I read, I just just stopped it. I
hate It's on my safari searching, right. Yeah, that's so
not good. Well, let's go to something that was that
was very very positive. Last night. We're in that mow
where we're watching Christmas movies. This is a Santa movie.
And so Cherry was like, what do you think about tonight?

(29:00):
And I said, I'm a miracle on thirty fourth Street.
And so there's the oldest one and then there's the
one that might have came out in the eighties. Maybe
I'm not sure when it came out. It's the it's
the there's the black and white one, and then there's
the colored one. And I don't mean colored life. Oh

(29:22):
it's ninety four. Okay, so ninety four, And I will
tell you, and I know this is going to probably
get some pushback. I prefer the ninety four version because
I prefer the ninety four Santa.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Okay, Richard Attenborough, I love this old man.

Speaker 5 (29:38):
I will just tell you this, and I know sometimes
the when when he interacts with the deaf girl, I'm
just going to say, have you seen that?

Speaker 13 (29:48):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (29:48):
All right, so she really was deaf.

Speaker 5 (29:50):
That's it. I did some background that you may have
seen it too. This reaction she has to the actor
who's playing Santa. The reaction is real because Adler just
pointed out I saw that too. The little girl really
is deaf. That's that's in the movie.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Playing the part.

Speaker 5 (30:06):
She had no idea that the actor playing Santa could sign.
So when he begins to sign to her, it is.
Her reaction is is real. It's it's really so watch
this right here. You an any signs to it, and
I watch her face. That's a real reaction that the
little the little girl did not know the actor.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Was and the guy playing santas the guy from Jurassic Park.
It is, it is, but he's spared. No, I like
him better than the black and white Santa. The black
and white Santa is really good. Don't misunderstand me. But
that what a touching little moment.

Speaker 12 (30:42):
I know.

Speaker 5 (30:43):
Look Sherry was like, had gone to get something to
drink in the kitchen, and I was screaming, here comes.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
The deaf girl.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
That's it and uh and so we should listen to it.

Speaker 5 (30:55):
Can we?

Speaker 8 (30:55):
Can?

Speaker 4 (30:56):
We do it?

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Incredibly? Let's try it.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
She doesn't know. Don't forget that, she does not know.

Speaker 8 (31:06):
You a very.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Beautiful young lady.

Speaker 5 (31:19):
Look at that and see right before that, the mom says,
don't worry about it. She's deaf. Just you don't have
to say anything.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
She just wants to see second of Santa stepping up
and I and I will tell you the hmmm.

Speaker 5 (31:33):
The way Santa gets treated in that movie is hard.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
They try to.

Speaker 5 (31:37):
Rub him out, chuck with him.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Way I thought I was watching Home alone was good
last night? To kill him? Well, they don't try to
kill him, Rire, that's too far.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Oh okay, rub him mountain means killed.

Speaker 5 (31:47):
Yeah, I know you're right. They tried to deem him
as being mentally unstable or s're telling everybody he's Santa
Claus all because of the business they're having over at
the store where he's the Santa. The rival store tries
to put me away, pull me back.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. Got a signed copy

that you're okay, But if you're trying to get something

if you'll notice this not piling on out there, but
the mail is its slow at it's slow. So just
that's why we're trying to allow plenty of time. So
the cutoff, we can't really give you much hope of

the new CD and it being out in the streaming world,
So we'll see. Sometimes those dates are given to us,
but they don't really hold and maybe we can let
you know something. But hard copies are almost sold out.
We do have enough. There are still some there if
you want to grab a hard copy of this year's

(33:58):
first ever Rick Burgess Show Best of CD.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Are you ready? I noticed that NASCAR settled their their
lawsuit with with m J. Yeah. The the figure has
not been released yet, but but the reports are from
Daily Mail that it was a pretty large one. They're
saying upwards of three hundred million. Yeah, I heard that

(34:24):
number being thrown around. I'm trying to understand exactly the
details of what the lawsuit was trying to accomplish. But
at the heart of it, it's NASCAR's revenue model, uh
and uh, and they're they're going to make it permanent
for all the Cup Series teams.

Speaker 5 (34:42):
Uh, and and not just the two planetufs in the lawsuit. Yeah,
they they are going to change. And I guess this
is about revenue sharing across the sport.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yeah, yeah, they it's uh, it's it's kind of confusing
a little bit, especially not following NASCAR as much as
we do, I mean, as little as we do. I
should say, yeah, but apparently well, you know, we asked
him about this too, and he's like, but he could
probably help a lot more if.

Speaker 5 (35:11):
It's not on Dell Junior's download. Yeah, and surely it
is mean.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
But they filed their lawsuit last year after refusing to
sign agreements on a new charter offers NASCAR presented in
September of twenty twenty four, and teams had until the
end of the day to sign one hundred and twelve
page document which guaranteed access to top level to level
Cup Series races and revenue streaming to your point, and

(35:37):
thirteen of the fifteen organizations reluctantly agreed to it. However,
Jordan and them sued instead of agreeing to it and
race most of the twenty twenty five season unchartered, and
said both teams had lost a lot, and so they
took him to court on it, and now there's a settlement.

(36:00):
And to what Jordan was saying, what the clip I heard,
and this is a little few weeks old, he said,
I hated to do it, but somebody had to step
up and take them on and represent all the other
teams because the teams only there was only a few
that profited this past season. Most on average, they say,
lost two million dollars a team.

Speaker 5 (36:22):
Yeah, and I noticed that what caused all this is
that NASCAR, when they were trying to negotiate it without
Michael Jordan.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Yeah, you know, a big name taking this on.

Speaker 5 (36:31):
Yeah, that NASCAR hit them with one of these hey
just take it and leave it, and it ignored the
four things they wanted addressed. And NASCAR tried they take
it or leave it approach, and it blew up on you. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
And what I'm seeing here that take it or leave it.
The NASCAR presented a take it or leave it, twelve
page charter deal. Fifteen teams signed it.

Speaker 5 (36:52):
Excuse me.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Of the fifteen full time teams, thirteen signed it reluctantly,
and then you've got twenty three exit. Well Michael Jordan's yeah,
I guess it's twenty three six and then front Row
they both refused.

Speaker 5 (37:07):
And how about this, If you're a NASCAR team, aren't
you glad those two had the Of course you got
Michael Jordan. I mean if if you've got a name
like Michael Jordan, I mean, you might as well use it.
And you know what, he he threw his weight around
a little bit and looks like they got a settlement

(37:27):
and hopefully things will be better for the teams going forward.
I don't know how NASCAR expected to continue on that
their audience is diminishing, Their sport had its heyday in
the nineties, and their sport is diminishing. And yet it
seems like that NASCAR expected teams to continue I guess
to lose money. Yeah, you know, it's like that's that thing.

(37:50):
What's more important, all of us that bring people to this,
or as NASCAR saying, no, we're more important because without us,
none of this exists. So hopefully this is a win
win that everybody can can live with. But I've like,
I haven't followed. See I'm part of the problem. At
one time I was a big NASCAR fan, and I've

(38:10):
kind of faded on it. Yeah, and and so I'm
I guess I'm part of the problem. Well, the eight
days of.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
Testimony which led to the settlement, they really saw that
that that NASCAR, the founders and private owners of NASCAR
were they they like, wouldn't bend at all too back
to y'all's take it or leave it deal. They're like,
okay that y'all aren't. Y'allre just going no, this is
what you got to do. And all the teams that
kind of were handcuffed were like, well, okay, I guess

(38:37):
we need to do that. And then Jordan's like, no, no,
we're not doing that. We're gonna take you to court.
We're gonna follow lawsuit and take you to court. And ye,
looks like there's been a settlement.

Speaker 5 (38:46):
Well, and me mj on his part, he's agreed to
have a three on three basketball tournament in the infield
of the major Super Super NASCAR speedways. Good.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
They cited the unfair terms like limited revenue growth, no
input on media rights, and the no sue clause.

Speaker 5 (39:04):
Now twenty three elect and I'm like, you had a
car dealership instead of be in the car car rae.
So twenty three eleven, that's Jordan and Denny Hamlin and
that's who Bubba Wallace, that's that's their driver. And I
guess does Denny there's is there just one car or
is there two? It seems like to me, I know
Denny races as well. It seems like Denny Hamlin at

(39:24):
one time raced for another team as a driver, right,
and then was co owner with with Jordan, with with
his with that group of drivers. He wasn't in the
group of drivers for the team that he owned with Jordan.
He drove for I believe a coach Gibbs.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
Oh yeah, Joe Gibbs, Joe.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
Gibbs, Racy, Yeah, yeah, huh, and then co owns twenty
three what I called it, twenty three nine eleven eleven.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
That's all right?

Speaker 8 (39:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (39:49):
How about they? How about? They were asking him one time,
I watched that series that Netflix did when you're racing,
do you think more about the team or about you?
And he goes, I'm just I'm here to win. Yeah,
you know, I hope our team does well, but I'm
not going to give up a win for the team
As a driver. I'm going to try to win every time.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
About Yeah, you know, they were they were talking about
the hand eye coordination and how quick the reflexes are.
For all these drivers Formula one, Indy, NASCAR, what the
average person does like they'll hold a ruler and then
and then drop it and see where you can grab it.
And their reflexes is can y'all do that?

Speaker 2 (40:26):
Is it all like you?

Speaker 1 (40:27):
It's like what and wherever you grab it? It's like
you know, it'll say inches wise, whatever where you can
grab it. And they're like way ahead of the average
person just in speed because they're like if one of
us got behind the car, especially Formula one would wreck
within five.

Speaker 5 (40:43):
Seconds, just Formula one if it's.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
Formula one or and then of course holding it together
the way they do just inches from each other three wide.

Speaker 5 (40:52):
I think a Nascar I could take one to the front.

Speaker 3 (40:55):

But that's that's my attempt at it. That's what became
helium Boy.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
We had River over yesterday and he loves the Chipmunks
Christmas album. I remember where the Chipmunks sing, sing.

Speaker 5 (45:31):
The songs as a kid, I can still see myself
riding in the green Plymouth not a seat belt to
be found. And uh, I remember sitting in the back
seat and when that AM radio spun Alvin and the Chipmunks,
I thought, well, that one creates that ready boys, yeah,

(45:53):
that one, you know?

Speaker 1 (45:54):
And what was the guy?

Speaker 5 (45:55):
What was the guy that dealt with them?

Speaker 4 (45:57):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (45:58):
They would say his name Alvin? You ready?

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Alvin?

Speaker 3 (46:01):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Alvin?

Speaker 1 (46:03):
Yeah? Yeah? Uh Well River was all about it yesterday
and I don't know what it is about. Same song,
just turn no, just just They have an entire album
where they sing the hits I mean it's from deck
the halls to you know, uh, jingle bells. Uh, it's
all it's you name it. It's about twelve cuts and buddy,

(46:24):
let me tell you. We shuffle that thing. And I
don't know what it is about kids. They never get
tired of the same thing. It's again again, again, again again, yes,
and and now we're dancing, and now we're singing sing
pop sing like them. You did you try you know
when when it was playing? Well, no, we kind of

(46:46):
dialed it in. I'm gonna tell you we did dill
it in. Uh how did you dial it in? I
mean it requires when when Alvin and the Chipmunks, when
they're singing, you can sing like them, you know what
I'm talking about. When it's it's tough to find it
without them singing. Let me see here.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
Yeah, it's Dave by the way. The guy's name is Dave.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
By the way.

Speaker 5 (47:12):
When I was a kid, If I'm not mistaken, all
Alvin warning was a hula hoop?

Speaker 8 (47:17):
Was that?

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Right's a swamp?

Speaker 8 (47:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (47:22):
Wasn't that it?

Speaker 1 (47:24):
Hulo hoop? Let's see.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
That's about the worst.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
Yeah, yeah, there it is, remember hoop?

Speaker 8 (47:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (47:36):
That was now Rivers got it because he's got the
little five year old voice. Sure he does. And buddy,
let me tell you, we were screaming that we got home.
Then we just danced, and then it's now pops. Put
it up on the TV, Pops, and now we're dancing.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
It is a hula hoop that he wants.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
Do you did y'all ever get good at the hula
hoop at all? I could never do the hula hoop.
I mean we would fall to my feet in a second.

Speaker 5 (47:58):
I can hula hoop? You can, yeah, pretty good.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
I mean it's been like thirty years, so it's it's
hard to say now.

Speaker 5 (48:07):
I remember when I was getting about twelve, I found
myself trying to tell all the girls at school they
should try it, right. I didn't know why, but I
sure did want to see them do that right, you know, yeah,
but you know the good I didn't fully understand why,
but I was like, why don't y'all give it a trial? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (48:26):
The good ones though, they don't really have to move
their hips. It's like a little thrust. It's like it's
it's just easy. It's just one of these don't do that,
but one of those yeah, yeah, but hey, but you
know when somebody they're doing this right here, Yeah, show
me what you're supposed to do. Yes, I mean it's
just a little.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
They seem to be getting so much action just from that,
just a little.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
Bit of little hip vibration, and that sends that thing around.

Speaker 4 (48:52):
You know.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
You know someone's gonna have a tough time when they
when their hips are about as wide as hulop and
they're trying so desperately to keep it up.

Speaker 5 (49:01):
You ever seen some of them people that had them,
you got them big ol' hips. It's almost like it's
not fair. It's like the hoop just starts doing its
own thing. Yeah, it's almost like just just.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
The momentum of those hips. So keep that hoop going.
How about the ones that can start around their neck
and then work it down, Yeah, work it down around
the shoulders down to the hips. Yeah. I wasn't willing.

Speaker 5 (49:19):
I wasn't willing to you know, when you talk about
what it takes to keep it going, Yeah, it's like
if I got a few rounds all yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
Can't do that. I can't do the yo.

Speaker 14 (49:28):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
Now did you see Adler? Was he here when you
did that? You want to see him.

Speaker 5 (49:33):
Yeah, are you still real good at it?

Speaker 2 (49:36):
I can still yo yo. They should say, you know
how they say it's like riding a bike. Yeah, it's
like throwing a yo yo. That should be a sing too,
because they came right back. Could walk the dog and
always that rock the baby and all that. He look, gosh,
I wanted to do that and that really fancy yo yo.
The one that looked weird, almost like a spaceship. Yeah, man,
I wanted one of those.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
He can hold it and it just rocks. Can you
make it hesitate?

Speaker 8 (49:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (49:57):
Yes, sleep at the bottom.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
You got to sleep.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
Oh, I got it.

Speaker 12 (50:01):
I could.

Speaker 5 (50:01):
I could never. I could never do anything.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
One of the days you were out, we talked about, uh,
somebody with the yo yo and and how talented they
were or whatever. And he brought one in the next
day and was was showing out.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
Yeah, because Gary said I couldn't. I couldn't, ye because
it would hit the ground.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
Oh that's right.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
I had to show. I had to show Gary that
I can.

Speaker 8 (50:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (50:19):
Yeah, here we go.

Speaker 8 (50:21):
There we get that.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
Look at that.

Speaker 5 (50:22):
Oh so yeah, look so is that we used to
call that and make it it hesitate? You said, put
it to sleep?

Speaker 2 (50:26):
Yeah, it's called sleeping it at the bottom and then
you pull it up boom.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
Well, so have come like when you do that, just
goes to the bottom. What's the technique?

Speaker 2 (50:34):
You gotta slam it. You gotta really throw it out
there and it'll just sling it?

Speaker 5 (50:38):
Will it do it? Would you? Just if you just
give it up, you'll do it? What about my rotator cuff?

Speaker 8 (50:45):
What?

Speaker 1 (50:47):
Go back to your rotator?

Speaker 2 (50:48):
Try right hand? Not there you go and then make
sure it's unrolling the right way and you go like
that and then it's hard, and don't bounce it.

Speaker 6 (50:59):
If you bounce it, kind of give it.

Speaker 5 (51:00):
It'll come back up right.

Speaker 6 (51:01):
It'll come right back up. So just let it kind
of ease to the bottle, but slam it then ease it.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
Oh wow, that was okay.

Speaker 5 (51:08):
Put that wasn't bad, by the way.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
I mean for a first time, I don't.

Speaker 6 (51:11):
That's what happens with me.

Speaker 5 (51:13):
Let me try the throw is tough, all right? So
am i am I am I am?

Speaker 1 (51:17):
I like going nuts.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
To throw it through the floor slinging you know how
a skeet shooter, a skeet thing will just sling that thing.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
What if you have like snot on your finger and
you flick it.

Speaker 6 (51:33):
You gotta sling that thing like that, give you a slip?

Speaker 4 (51:35):
Not here?

Speaker 8 (51:36):
Did I do that?

Speaker 1 (51:38):
You go slip it, slipping on Itler's over here now
behind the mics, trying to get Rick set up.

Speaker 6 (51:44):
And so I'm coming. I'm coming. Oh my god, I'm
so sorry that I slipped off your finger.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
I break it, I think, Rick, I've never seen a
ball phone. I don't know that the balls.

Speaker 5 (51:58):
Sorry, did I break I think you just broke it.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (52:01):
If I broke it, it looks broken. Yeah, I'm so
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
I was sorry.

Speaker 5 (52:07):
I was so caught up.

Speaker 14 (52:09):
Rick.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
I've never seen I don't know that I've seen anything
on that hard in a long time. I'm so sorry.

Speaker 5 (52:13):
I didn't think about it. Need to be tighter on
my finger. I didn't even think about that.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
I don't know that you might you can make major
leagues and throwing a ball of baseball backwards, but you
might want to try it.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
And I think I can fix it. I'm so so fine.

Speaker 5 (52:26):
I think I can fix You've only had that since childhood,
and it's probably a precious for my grandpa.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. The people who don't
like this show, you wouldn't like anyway, the Rick Burgers Show.

Speaker 5 (52:53):
Yeah, you're not gonna miss him, no baby brother today.
The rest of us here and moving forward, a lot
of you all across the country are like the yo
yo segment.

Speaker 1 (53:07):
There's got to be reoccurring Addler's yo Yo fun.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (53:12):
I did not know that we had as good as
yo yo were on the team. Secretly. I remember I
had friends that could we're good with the yo yo
at school, and I felt like, you know, I was
never really good at it. And maybe those of you
just heard, I mean people who are just listening, said, oh,
don't worry. You threw that down so hard.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
We all heard it.

Speaker 5 (53:31):
You don't have to be watching.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
Uh they said that even listening you you got the
full picture of what just happened.

Speaker 5 (53:38):
So that's on me and the yo yo. We think
it's okay.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
Yeah, yeah, it's fine.

Speaker 7 (53:43):
Right.

Speaker 5 (53:43):
He went back. He went over there with some glue
and set it down next to the picture of him
and his granddad right yeah, where it would usually sit.

Speaker 1 (53:51):
See, in my eyes, I'm doing the same thing Adler's doing.
I don't understand because it looks like he's just slinging
it and then just kind of letting it, and I
felt like that's what I was doing. Obviously I wasn't
because it just it just untangled, went straight to the ground.
Did you ever yo yo in school?

Speaker 8 (54:07):
Now?

Speaker 1 (54:07):
I never could. Yeah, I mean I would always kind
of do this and kind of like try to bring
it up, you know, and kind of but I'm really
really doing nothing but just raising my arm.

Speaker 5 (54:16):
Let me tell you how sad I am. The yo
yo that Adler has was the cool yo yo. I
think that when they're a name of it, they had
a name, the style, the fireball, something that was big.
Duncan was a big manufacturer of them.

Speaker 1 (54:29):
I had you standard just round circle one. Yeah, you know,
I know which time I was sure it was color?
Like what color was?

Speaker 5 (54:37):
Everybody had those fancies that I was over my little
around one that I got down at Taylor's Grocery. Yeah,
it was on the on the on the toy rack,
you know, little cheap toy rack where they're all hanging
on the Oh.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
Yeah, the butterfly was that was it?

Speaker 1 (54:49):
Yeah, that's the wormfly butterfly Duncan.

Speaker 5 (54:51):
But I remember looking at the butterfly people thinking man,
just to have a butterfly.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
I think this was four ninety nine.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
By the way, you can get them cheap now, so
when you get another one, yeah, yeah, right right.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
I actually bought Yoyo's for like all the dudes in
my family a couple years ago for Christmas, and so
that's what this one is. So it's not my grandfather's
yo yo So we can feel better about that.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
But but when when I when I you said, when
you sling it? When you sling it down? What am
I doing wrong? Because you saw it up close?

Speaker 5 (55:22):
Yeah, you're I'm not gonna get another chance at it.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
The motion is just not quite there. You just got
to get some reps in. It's just time and reps
and dedication. Frankly, you know that you can be every
everyone can be excellent.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
Ad Can you see textonation from where you are in
a second?

Speaker 5 (55:38):
Scroll up? This is funny. I love. This is the
things about technology today. Before there was Alvin and the Chipmunks,
there was Adler in the Chipmunks. And look you've got
a classic rock shirt on and everything, and look you're
part of the band. That is hilarious. And the fact
they threw the T shirt and it's spot on which
one was your favorite? Uh you know what, I always

(56:00):
kind of I was kind of an Alvin guy, because
I know that sounds like easy, but I related more
to him than Simon and the and the other little fella. Yeah, well,
how many it was? Simon, Alvin Theodore? Yeah, when Theodore
was with the glass, is that it? There's the three
of them, of them and then and then the man.

(56:22):
So that's Alvium.

Speaker 8 (56:23):
Is that that?

Speaker 5 (56:24):
Alvin Theodor in the middle, Theodore and then Simon. Yeah, yeah, no, shocker.
I didn't relate the Theodore at all. He didn't like
he was really good in school. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
He would always try to help get him out of trouble.

Speaker 5 (56:35):
What I would do, I was Alvin and I always
wanted to sit close to Theodore when the tests were
being good.

Speaker 2 (56:40):
Oh wait, Simon was the glasses one. Is it.

Speaker 5 (56:45):
The baby when Theodore was Yeah a ka teddy, Okay.

Speaker 1 (56:49):
I did not know that. I didn't know Simon was
the glasses, Simon glasses. I should have known that. We
focused on Alvin all night because Alvin was is River's favorite,
so everything else was like the.

Speaker 5 (56:59):
Only thing about Alvin. My mama didn't like him. She
thought he was disrespectful to adults. Okay, my mom was
really a stickler on that. People not as much of
a stickler on that now, but she really was, you know,
like that. When the sitcoms started to like openly having
kids be disrespectful to their parents, my mom was never

(57:21):
a fan. Yeah, same, yeah, well, it is a little
nauseating to see the mact that way to grown adults.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
Absolutely. In fact, you guys remember in Home Alone, the
fight scene that happens. Kevin and his mom fight real
bad at the beginning of the movie. That's why he
has to sleep up in the basement or something like that.
My mom would fast forward through that scene because that's
not how we talk. And I'm with her, I get it.

Speaker 5 (57:47):
The you know, I didn't realize that I saw how
we get to see all this cool stuff about those
kind of movies. Now that the two that were playing
Joe Peshi and the other guy that played the villains,
that they thought that this the movie was going nowhere,
and so they tried to go over the top in
their roles, just goofing off, and it turned out that
it worked. Things like that that we never know about,

(58:09):
you know, that they that they thought that movie was
going nowhere. Yeah, and it's I don't watch it a
lot because and it seems like it would bother you
a little bit, because it bothers me when I realize
that their trip is ruined, you know, and I mean somewhere,
let me tell you. And that feeling of like you
left your kid back at home and you're like on

(58:30):
an airplane on an international flight.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (58:33):
That that that's something about the stress of that is
not not great.

Speaker 3 (58:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
Well, we were looking at the catalog and I told him,
you know, because Chip Chipmunk's Christmas is a movie too,
of course, the movie of course.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
And they've got a squeak Will.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
Yeah, that's what they called it, Yeah, the squeak Will.
And when we pulled it up, we saw Home Alone.
We were going to get that one for River, but
he wanted to watch Home Alone, and so instead of
fast forwarding it to the hilarious scenes of them trying
to get in Oh yes, guys, seriously, that's about the
fifteen to twenty minutes of the funniest that you'll see.

(59:12):
I laugh hard, especially when the Spider's laid on his
chests and he screams and all that or his nose
and gosh, it's funny. But the spiritual aspects of the
movie that Adler broke down a couple of weeks. I
know if you know about it going in because you
just miss it. I don't. But then you start looking
at it and you're like, wait a minute, he might
be on to something. Well.

Speaker 5 (59:31):
And also people corrected us the Christmas Eve thing we see, Yeah,
that's actually a rehearsal. That's not the actual Christmas Eve service. Okay,
So we kept thinking, why aren't there more people there? Yeah,
and they were saying that that's a run through, okay,
and that they make that clear in the movie. I've
forgotten about that because he says he can't come on
a regular service because he didn't feel welcome, welcome by

(59:56):
the church the other church, now you know, so that's
a yeah, just every bit of that. Yeah, the spiritual
breakdown is that movie now has a whole different look.

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
Yeah it does.

Speaker 5 (01:00:06):
And what's the one that Trump appeared in Home along
two Lost in New York? Yes, the follow up?

Speaker 8 (01:00:11):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (01:00:12):
Yeah, yeah did that did that?

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
They edited him out on some platforms at one point
when Trump was like the villain of the world, and
you know, which they still try to paintomize. But yeah,
I forget what platform it was, but you could watch
it and they cut that scene out.

Speaker 5 (01:00:26):
Now when it comes to Trump, this is where the
left loses all credibility. The left was in love with
Trump until he decided to be a Republican and decided
to go in a more conservative direction. Then then suddenly
he was a villain. When he was one of y'all,
we were y'all are all about it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
Yeah, and so it's it's.

Speaker 5 (01:00:46):
It's it's it's political more than it is principal, bottom
of the hour. Thanks for being with us. We got
more to do on the program today. We've already given
you the word detect. I'll give it one more time
coin so you can text that to try to win.
But other opportunities to win some at Christmas cash still

(01:01:08):
to come.

Speaker 3 (01:01:09):
This is the Rick Burgess show, Strange Encounters, the new

(01:01:33):
podcast from Rick Burgess. Get it no wherever you get podcasts.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
You know, Adler and I recorded that yesterday.

Speaker 5 (01:01:42):
Strange Encounters Episode twenty two coming out this weekend, and
we you know, we're staying kind of in the headlines
right now. Unfortunately, there's a lot in the headlines that
tie to Strange Encounters, a podcast about spiritual warfare topic
this weekend. Not a fun topic, but it's an important topic,

(01:02:03):
and that is hell and we will talk about that
this weekend, and we will take on Kirk Cameron and
his son on a podcast talking about God's character the
conscious eternal punishment and torment versus annihilation of the soul,

(01:02:28):
and Kirk Cameron has drifted a little bit, it's concerning people.
We'll discuss those two theological points of view, and then
we'll go to scripture and see which one can be
best supported and talk about concerns about some of that.
And we also talk about Zach Brown and the show
he's doing at the Sphere. So all of that coming
up this weekend and Strange Encounters wherever you get podcasts.

(01:02:52):
Yesterday was one of those things where, you know, let's
face it, when we we try to do a little
bit better. It's just here Adler talking about trying with
life to get to you know, Brazilian jiu jitsu. I mean,
he's even got a buddy trying to motivate him. Now,
speedy you I hear you talking about it at work. Okay, man,

(01:03:14):
let's we know we need to do better. We know
this is important and it's good. It's just so hard
to get into the schedule. And I know for some
of you are so much better than we are. You know,
you've placed it at a place that you know. It's
just like everything else. If it becomes they I'll do
that whenever I can. It rarely gets done, but sometimes
just life. And yesterday was probably the worst. If you're

(01:03:38):
someone like me who really struggles on workouts. Is I went,
you know, we did the show, we did strange encounters.
I went to a luncheon that I was I needed
to be at and then I made probably the biggest mistake,
but it had to be done because his face that
we're hunting this weekend. I got to go get camp

(01:03:59):
house ready, you know. So I left and went down
to camp house to go ahead and get our supplies
in for camp house breakfast, to get us all set up.
But we needed supplies for the weekend. And then I'm
thinking to myself because I'm behind on what I normally

(01:04:22):
commit to on doing better, and I said, if I
don't do it today, I'm certainly not doing it tomorrow
and I ain't doing it Saturday. So I was like, Okay,
I cannot go out in the woods right now. I
need to go home. I need to go home and
do better. And that was as difficult a climb back

(01:04:43):
in the truck. I'm just staring out there, and I'm like,
I could have got one in.

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
It was close.

Speaker 5 (01:04:48):
I didn't get down there to after two, so it'd
been a little bit of a push. But I had time,
you know, just to kind of slip in somewhere and
have a look sie. But I but I went there.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
You made yourself go back.

Speaker 4 (01:05:02):
I did.

Speaker 5 (01:05:03):
But then I got home and then I walk in
and there's the Christmas tree and cherries cook and chili
and hungry and and and then I'm and it's cold outside.
And then I'm like, okay, it's allful cozy in here.
And then go in there and put on the trying
to do a little bit better t shirt, put on
you you shorts, and go down there and get the

(01:05:25):
roller out. See what trainer Shines laid out for the day.

Speaker 3 (01:05:29):
Tough.

Speaker 5 (01:05:31):
It was one of those where you're just like, Okay,
this is probably the last thing on earth I want
to do. Right now, making yourself go.

Speaker 1 (01:05:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:05:38):
And so when I finished up, I started thinking, Okay,
I gotta get rid of the hunt this weekend. So
I went and popped a little relief Factor. Know when
I was gonna need it. Didn't know I'd be yo
yo ing today.

Speaker 1 (01:05:52):
I don't know that you did. I think you just
threw that.

Speaker 5 (01:05:54):
I just threw that down shoulder, just a little twinch
relief Factor dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
All.

Speaker 5 (01:05:59):
Now, if you are and this is the word I'm
use today, if you have over exerted okay aging. Both
of those apply to me and every day living, that
applies to all of us. You know, it's an all
natural solution. When you're going in there saying every single
day you're popping some over the counter pain med that's

(01:06:20):
not good. That's not how those are designed to be used.
So if you'd like to get this all natural solution,
if inflammation is the culprit, this is the all natural answer.
It has been a game changer for me. Relief Factor
dot com or you can find a direct link at
rickburgesshow dot com under the sponsors. So I want to
ask y'all this because you know we love camp house

(01:06:42):
breakfast boy. I mean how about we'll let camp house
Breakfast get in the way of us hunting harder. We
will And I hate to say that that's really got
to be a discussion. I don't feel good about this, Dad.
I don't know what you can hear and see from heaven.
By the way, do you realize, y'all, Saturday two years
ago is when Dead past two years ago?

Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
Saturday?

Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
Wow?

Speaker 5 (01:07:03):
Oh really the thirteenth?

Speaker 8 (01:07:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:07:05):
Uh so so anyway, you know, and I thought I'm
gonna be hunting on the day that he went into glory.
That's what he would want things I keep telling everybody.
Uh So, just doing that because that's what Dead would want.

Speaker 2 (01:07:18):
It's like hunting is like when you go to the
pool and you get so hungry afterwards. Hunting sometimes does that.
It's like, but I've just been sitting why am I?

Speaker 12 (01:07:26):
I know?

Speaker 5 (01:07:27):
I don't understand how you can leave the woods and
and you come home and you tell me how tired
you are, and your wife's like, you've been sitting in
the woods. Yeah, I know there's something about it. You're right,
It is like driving, but.

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
You gotta be a unless you go out and just sleep,
which why are you doing that?

Speaker 8 (01:07:41):
If you do.

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
I know you get relaxed and sometimes might like nod, yeah,
but it's you having to stay alert. You know it's
normally cold. Say that takes energy to to stay warm.

Speaker 5 (01:07:51):
I tell Share all the time. She didn't know how
hard we work.

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
It's tough. Then if you if you take something, then
you drag it, bag it.

Speaker 5 (01:07:57):
Out and somebody, Hey, guys, don't let me hurt my
rotator cuffin. I kill that big one this weekend. So
I want y'all to know. And this to me, adds
to the camp house experience. We will dine on jerky
on summer sausage and breakfast sausage from a deer I

(01:08:17):
killed at the hunting land just a few days ago.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
That's nice.

Speaker 5 (01:08:22):
We will dine on a deer from the very place
in which we hunt. Man, is anyone stoked about that
at all?

Speaker 1 (01:08:30):
Fired up?

Speaker 5 (01:08:31):
And you know what I'm picturing when when we roll
in today, some some some of that summer sausage out
there were crackers just a little warm up. Really Oh yeah, okay,
have that out there on some paper. Oh yeah, now,
but an honor.

Speaker 1 (01:08:47):
Of your dad. We got to talk Saturday morning because
is wearing me out?

Speaker 5 (01:08:53):
About this.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
If you're like me, and if I'm just being totally transparent,
it gets to be around nine o'clock and I'm like,
you know, boy, I'm hungry. We either have to take
something with us or we got to eat a little
bit before we go out of some kind of You
don't want too much because you're going to sit that way.
We're not starving, and we need to sit ten ten thirty.

stay a little.

Speaker 2 (01:09:51):
Longer or brunch. We could call it brunch.

Speaker 5 (01:17:49):
It's three questions. We start with the one hundred and
fifty dollars question are you ready?

Speaker 10 (01:17:55):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:17:56):
Sorry, Speedy struggles on behalf of other people's awkward moments.
What is this called?

Speaker 8 (01:18:02):
Take an embarrassment?

Speaker 2 (01:18:03):
That is confident?

Speaker 5 (01:18:06):
That's one hundred and fifty dollars, hesitate. You can take
that money and leave, or you can try for three hundred.
Now if you miss it, you don't get anything.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
Yeah, let's go three hundred.

Speaker 8 (01:18:18):
Here we go.

Speaker 5 (01:18:20):
It happened early in the very first year of the show.
So what did Greg and Adler do this year during
the Arctic blast back in the winter of twenty twenty
five to prove they were men?

Speaker 2 (01:18:36):
They take the shirts off and Tom gas.

Speaker 5 (01:18:42):
Wow, all right, three hundred dollars now, buddy, I just
want to tell you, you know that the questions get
harder as you go. So five hundred and ninety nine
dollars are you willing to go? With question three? It's
it's all or nothing.

Speaker 8 (01:18:59):
I don't think I'm gonna do it because there's like
singing hard questions and okay, I think I'm going to
take three hundred.

Speaker 5 (01:19:07):
Okay, Okay, that's not bad. That's probably a wise move
respecting for that. All right, I'm gonna put you on hold,
we'll get your information. You just won three hundred dollars
of Old Saint Rick's Christmas cash. But wow, thank you,
thank you very much. It's it's awesome you've been paying
attention because you entered that second one was not an
easy one. You got that pretty pretty easy, all right.

There it is.

Speaker 1 (01:19:38):
Then I spit all over my laptop.

Speaker 5 (01:19:39):
Don't spit.

Speaker 1 (01:19:42):
You could just kind of ease into it and not
go after that like I did the yo yo.

Speaker 5 (01:19:48):
You attack. Thank you the way I attacked that yoyo.
Thank it's all about the tongue. Thank you. You just

Speaker 1 (01:19:55):
Well, but but at least I said it. How about
that was three hundred gone quit three hundred boom oh, Joshua,
to your point, Rick, he was like, didn't even half
a second. He was like, yep, got it.

Speaker 5 (01:20:05):
You know, I really thought I even questioned on question two.
I thought, did I explain that good enough? He knew
exactly what I was talking about. Yeah, that's all on
the best of CD this What wasn't it like? It
was an archaic blast, wasn't it like in the teens
when y'all did that fourteen? It was fourty Wendy too,
fourteen and Wendy fourteen and Wendy yep? And then they
headed out, all right. More chances to win still ahead,
of course. Somebody on the text option is going to

(01:20:26):
win today too, yep, box seats. Somebody's can't get a
chance to win there. So all that is still to come.
We have a lot of cover. We'll continue to roll
through the stories of the day and interact with you also,
so be hanging out. If you didn't get the word

(01:20:47):
today that you should have text in, asked somebody who

Speaker 5 (01:21:33):
Welcome back, thank you for being with us America. As
we come to you from the Big Face Studio. Another
hour is ready to go.

Speaker 1 (01:21:45):
We've already had.

Speaker 5 (01:21:46):
A winter three hundred dollars last hour on the Christmas
Cash countdown. We've announced the text today, the word today
for one hundred bucks and more money still to come.

Speaker 1 (01:22:00):
As up today.

Speaker 5 (01:22:02):
We are now one week from the Rick Burgess Show
Christmas Party, which is the final show of the year.
We'll go on to two weeks sabbatical, give me some
best of shows, and then Lord Willing, we come back
on the fifth of January, ready for twenty twenty six,
and boy, do we have an exciting year plan for
you next year as well. Speedy and Adler are here.

(01:22:26):
Greg is not here's his wife needed him to help
out today with her. She had an absessed tooth that
came out of nowhere, and you know the pain that's
associated with that, So he's trying to get her some relief,
and so he could not be with us. The vox
seat are coming in. Greg of course apologizes for that,
but sometimes these things cannot be helped. So as we

(01:22:49):
start the hour and Sol and I were talking some
of you that joined us right out of the gate,
you know that we had a situation here amongst guy
and friends, dear friends, uh, that that Adler got upset
with Speedy and me. Uh, And unfortunately it's spilled onto
the air and you know, we but you know, we

(01:23:11):
do a show that's pretty transparent. I mean we uh,
we pretty much talk about real life. And so we
we have all talked. We have privately and and now
publicly apologized other to you.

Speaker 4 (01:23:24):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:23:24):
We we did not mean to uh to get to
go too far cutting up. You know, we play rough
in here and that doesn't mean that anything goes uh
and and we should not have let that spill onto
the air, but we did. And you know, we're we
we love you man, and and all of us have
talked off the air.

Speaker 1 (01:23:43):
We are good.

Speaker 5 (01:23:44):
We're not We don't have any issues or anything like that.
It was really just friends. You know, sometimes things go
on and and when you're cutting up and hacking on
each other sometimes it makes people mad and and that
people get upset and say, you know, I'm sick and
tired of this narrative and and and I'm done with it.
And that's and that's perfectly okay.

Speaker 2 (01:24:04):
Yeah, if anybody needs to apologize, also, it's me. We
spoke immediately in the breaks following that I'm having trouble
staying awake, yeah, like in my life, and so I'm
incredibly sleep deprived. That's no excuse for my behavior earlier
in the show, and I knew it as I even
as I was doing it. I said that, yeah, so
just want to clarify that I'm embarrassed and I apologize.

Speaker 5 (01:24:26):
Yeah, okay, and nothing, hey look, nothing to be like
I said. I've had people say, you know, hey, Rick,
I noticed you sat there silent. That was the right
thing to do. I knew that you had things going
on and me trying to engage you right then because
of this, you know that you were obviously tired and
upset and and speedy. Now I have also taken ownership
of our role in that of not being aware that

(01:24:49):
you were getting upset. We should have picked up on that,
and that is you know, it's it's not and anything goes. Hey,
hey man, everybody. Sometimes look, you know, there's there's been
times that I've been sitting in here that all of
a sudden, I feel that little fire inside and I'm
kind of like, y'all need to y'all need to get
off of me right now, you know what I mean?
And you let it go. And then there's times when

(01:25:11):
you're behind on sleep and you're already ill and struggling,
and you're kind of like, you know what, I've just
had enough of this, and so, uh, we all could
have handled it better. But what y'all need to know
is that we are good, all of us. We're brothers,
we're dear friends. We truly are on and off the air,
and we have nothing but the utmost respect. And you've

(01:25:31):
heard us say that for you, Chris, the man you
are and the work you do, and I do try
to make sure you hear that. But I can understand
that that doesn't mean that I can just do anything
and tell you, hey, we didn't mean anything about get
over it. You know, I don't. I don't ever want
to have that attitude either. I do because we do care,
you know, about you, and we don't want to do

(01:25:53):
anything that ever comes across the wrong way.

Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
Absolutely, And then I handled it way wrong, sorry, and
I apologize.

Speaker 1 (01:25:59):
Well, well, you know what a lot of folks say,
what they love about this show is that they feel
like family. Yeah, man, we're all in this together. Well, y'all,
y'all were in a family disagreement and argument and so
but we love you, buddy, thank you straight up.

Speaker 5 (01:26:14):
So you know what, this isn't a bad idea. Somebody
said maybe in the future, because it is so rough
to be in y'all's group. You know how you've heard
the term safe word, Maybe we need to all establish
a word that we that we murmur, Like if you're
the one that everybody's on, you kind of just call out, hey,
whatever it is and everybody goes, okay, we'll start right.

Speaker 1 (01:26:34):
Yeah, so maybe so maybe So I know when I
was doing VICKI quest, it was John Deere, right, yeah,
and that's about that's about years ago. So yeah, we
could come up with something, right, So.

Speaker 2 (01:26:47):
I appreciate your your graciousness in all this guy.

Speaker 5 (01:26:49):
Yeah, yeah, just a noise man, right, and you know what,
and we look back again and maybe it was another
blessing that Greg wasn't here. Yeah, yeah, did they but
because you can you imagine his face looking ring on
what's happening right now. But actually Adler and Greg are
actually really really close as well, and we would all
feel the same way. We have fun, but there's lines

(01:27:11):
to be drawn, and there's also, as you said, Adler,
there's ways to handle things.

Speaker 1 (01:27:15):
So we got it done.

Speaker 5 (01:27:16):
We are all good. And I know a lot of
you were like, are y'all just got out like that
didn't happen, and we really were just trying to work
this out the right way and and everything is fine. Yeah,
nothing nothing to be concerned about. All right, So some
some other things that we need to discuss going forward.
You know, I don't mean to be insensitive again on this,
you know, because we said the other day on the show.

(01:27:37):
Sometimes we forget when we do stories that are bizarre,
when when it leads to someone's death, we'll start the
story and then all of a sudden, three quarters away
into it speedy. Usually you will have to remind us, hey,
somebody died.

Speaker 1 (01:27:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:27:50):
But pickleballers, uh, you know, we talked a lot in
the last show of the last year of the Rick
and Bubba Show about pickle That's when it kind of
became this obsessive pickleball thing. I dipped my toe in it.
It was pretty fun, you know and all that, but
it's one of those things that if I can't be

(01:28:10):
good at it, it's not fun for me to go
out there and be bad at it and not be
able to because I know it ruins people's fun that
are good at it, like when they're going, hey, why
don't we take on you and sherry and they play
all the time, and then you can't keep a volley
going because you're not good enough and I can't devote
the time to it. So we kind of I'm not
saying we're not going to play it anymore, but we

(01:28:32):
never have pursued it to try to get good at it.
But this is showing how obsessive people are about this.
We have a pickleball player that has plunged to his
death and a three story fall because he climbed over
a safety rail trying to retrieve the pickleball.

Speaker 1 (01:28:50):
And I think it's more about that, like with Sandlot
when the baseball went over the fence, and they're like,
I think, growing up and playing sports, you have to
go get that ball, and it's you just named the sport. Hey,
the balls over the fence, the balls in the ditch,
you know, going out after it. Now, I don't know
if climbing this fence that they say was as high.

(01:29:11):
Did I see three story fall yes or something?

Speaker 5 (01:29:14):
That's that's what they said. There's there's actually an adad
I don't know that we want to show it. They said,
there's actually a video. Yeah, there is is jumping onto
the mesh netting that covered the open gap, but it
tore under his weight. Oh and you can tell that
was a pickleball player.

Speaker 2 (01:29:31):
Oh my goodness, I just saw it.

Speaker 5 (01:29:32):
I mean, how bad do you have to get? Yeah,
he was playing pickleball on the third floor. There must
be a court there at this place. That makes sense now,
and he climbed over the court's fence to retrieve the
ball fell to the lower floor. Okay, by the time
his friends got to him, they realized that the fall
had killed him.

Speaker 1 (01:29:49):
Oh yep, so there were going okay, that makes sense.
So it was it was on another level. Okay, I
think about all the people that feel add in this.
What about you're the person that didn't keep it in play? Oh,
you gotta feel kind of bad.

Speaker 5 (01:30:08):
You hit it out right?

Speaker 1 (01:30:10):
Yeah, And I mean, I know, like in tennis, you
have more than one ball and pick a ball? Can
you not have Let's let's get it. Let's get us
a lot of balls and then after we're playing and
we can go get them all. Yeah, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 5 (01:30:21):
Let's let's are we playing to have a single ball?

Speaker 1 (01:30:23):
I mean, let's have about five or six balls in
our bag and if one goes over the fence, right,
if we just grab another ball, yeah, and then when
we're all walking to the car, then we'll go get
the balls or something.

Speaker 2 (01:30:34):
Yeah, he jumped down. It was obviously thought that netting
would hold him.

Speaker 8 (01:30:38):
Yes he did.

Speaker 1 (01:30:39):
Oh he jumped onto the net.

Speaker 8 (01:30:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:30:42):
He jumps over this rail right here.

Speaker 5 (01:30:43):
To see the net other side of the road.

Speaker 1 (01:30:46):
And the ball was on the net.

Speaker 8 (01:30:47):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:30:48):
Oh ye, and get a ball retriever like in golf.

Speaker 7 (01:32:06):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:32:06):
From a personal standpoint, it's just so sad when you
see wonderful people and countries, it's like our our our
history is just riddled with all these evil tyrants that
that take over. And it looks like Maduro is going
to be our latest Nicholas Uh, Nicolas Maduro.

Speaker 1 (01:32:27):
Now, for those of like me that have have heard Venezuela,
I've heard Maduro and you're like, yeah, okay, and you're like, okay,
I've really got a zone in here, and get updated.
Do I have it correctly that he lost an election
but refuses to leave correct? Yes, okay's falsifying the results.
He's falsifying the results. He is obviously in bed with

(01:32:48):
the cartel and drug trafficking and all this kind of stuff,
and now defiant to the Trump administration on getting his
act together and and and leaving office.

Speaker 8 (01:32:58):
Do I have that right?

Speaker 1 (01:33:00):
Even said, hey, I'll give you a mulligan here. You know,
if you'll just leave office, we'll call it quits and
then you can move on he's but he's refused. Yes, yes,
And so now Trump said, okay, well now I'll call it.
All cards are on the table and we're coming after you.

Speaker 12 (01:33:16):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:33:16):
And even before, obviously before this most recent election, that's
been turmoil in that country. We see what socialism does
to countries. At one point, Venezuela with all their resources,
with all their people, they were they were in the top.
I mean, you could say top fifteen of powerful countries
in the world. Socialism takes over and the country is

(01:33:37):
it's it's horrible. It's because it's a beautiful country, filled
with beautiful people and so many resources. There By the way,
and you guys remember back on Rick and Bubba University,
Francisco Marquez, you guys had on the show, talked about
that he was imprisoned by Maduro before this election. I ever,
heerd so imprisonments, murders, torture is all part of Maduro's

(01:34:04):
tactics to keep control.

Speaker 5 (01:34:07):
Yeah, okay, this is it. It's as old as time.
I mean here here's like Ada was talking about a
country that when it was free market capitalism, it thrived.
They bought into socialism, they bought into this garbage where
everybody's gonna be equal, and rich people are evil and

(01:34:27):
all this, and now a ruling class has come in
that now you're under tyrannical, tyrannical government with a tyrannical
leader that that pretends there's elections unless they don't go
his way. And then and he keeps himself in power.
And now he's doing the thing now where he's gonna
he's gonna position himself as a victim, uh, and he's

(01:34:47):
gonna protect the people from the evil West and and
their allies. And that's what we have today. He's singing, dancing,
and he's threatening to smash the teeth of the North
American Empire.

Speaker 1 (01:35:00):
This this is like this.

Speaker 5 (01:35:02):
We've seen this so many times, where these ridiculous dictators
stand up like they can take into the world. You
remember the time we had Kadaffi in the bass boat
out there, knowing the line of death.

Speaker 1 (01:35:14):
And all that. So so he went with a hat
that I used when I cut the yards. He really
keeps his son off your face.

Speaker 2 (01:35:21):
This is going to give you a second hand.

Speaker 11 (01:35:22):
Also, speeding, don't worry, be happy. Sorry, speedy, don't worry,
be happy. Death bits not to huh, just peace not work.

Speaker 8 (01:35:47):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (01:35:48):
Okay, now we've got the peace signs. Got peace signs
left and right. Oh he didn't need to make fun
of Trump's dance. No, I expected more rhythm from someone
with the Latin back. I know he's very uncomfortable, Like,
I think we should dance and we're gonna die. So
I think we dance and smile.

Speaker 5 (01:36:06):
The guy and the cowboy had his terrified. Yeah, he's
like screaming, Am I moving enough? Screaming inside, hollering help me?

Speaker 2 (01:36:16):
Still dancing?

Speaker 12 (01:36:17):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (01:36:17):
Now really dancing?

Speaker 5 (01:36:19):
Now speedy? I don't know what we're doing now. Oh,
now we're gonna take the hat off. He does have
good hair, Yeah he does. I wonder why he's got
the hat on.

Speaker 11 (01:36:28):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:36:28):
This is uh, but he's done this. He keeps trying
to use like American pop hits to plead his case.

Speaker 14 (01:36:36):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:36:36):
He's saying, John Lennon, imagine that no people, he did, yes, yes,
and now this just pits not water.

Speaker 1 (01:36:46):
So what is your neighbor? I know he's so anti Maduro, Yes,
but what does he say?

Speaker 2 (01:36:52):
I was very surprised, because you know, we the age
that I am. I'm very scarred by the war. Wars
in Iraq and Afghanistan. How Afghanistan and Afghanistan ended so disastrously,
and then the suicide rate of veterans that we have
in our country now, friends of mine that went and

(01:37:16):
served and felt like their friends died for nothing. Again,
especially the way that Biden left that engagement twenty years.
I think it's like a trillion dollars all going to
the military industrial complex. So I was initially saying, let's
not touch Venezuela. Why do we care about Venezuela and so,

(01:37:37):
And you see that a lot of times the people
of those countries resent the United States for coming in
at times, you know, you sometimes see that in the population.
And so I was initially against this, but I've been
speaking to them and hearing there they are saying that
the people of Venezuela are crying out for this. They're
so tired of being killed and being in desolate that

(01:38:01):
they actually support this. And so I had to say
to my neighbors, I'm like, wow, I'm having to rethink
how I view this thing. When you have because you
can't you can't pull off a regime change war if
you don't have the support of the people, right and so.

Speaker 5 (01:38:14):
You're saying that people would invite America and the Allies
to come in and change out the government.

Speaker 2 (01:38:19):
Yes, I was very surprised to see how much they
said that the people of Venezuela would support that. I
wouldn't resent it, and do support this and would not
resent it one bit when you see the suffering and
the death and the corruption just taking over your country,
then I guess that's a very logical opinion to have.

Speaker 5 (01:38:40):
Yeah, I mean, enough's enough. And now that you have
an election and you clearly tell him that this is
the this is the problem with with tyrannical dictators. Now
a lot of you went on record that you didn't
want him in there, and he's just staying. So now
he takes his all his thugs and he's says, I
remember all of you that tried to vote me out,

(01:39:02):
and now you're I'm not not exaggerating, you're in the crosshairers. Yeah,
of being done away with UH and being jailed. Yeah,
well that's a lot of the and that's what a
big fear of those that were against Hamas when they
signed that you know, that piece deal or cease fire.
I Austin started going locally and started picking off people

(01:39:23):
that they knew were against them.

Speaker 2 (01:39:25):
And so, and you guys saw that the United States
seized at Venezuelan tanker ship off the coast of Venezuela.
Trump said, it's the largest one ever seized.

Speaker 5 (01:39:35):
Well, of course it's the biggest.

Speaker 3 (01:39:38):
The best.

Speaker 2 (01:39:38):
Yes, tends are heating up though.

just read things.

Speaker 1 (01:42:10):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (01:42:12):
I'm going to ask you to proceed with a huge
amount of caution here because I know you get some
of these things that are stories of the day, and hey,
today is such and such today, and hey have you
all ever heard of this? And you did this in
the break and hopefully I want you to get to

(01:42:32):
the explanation as quick as you possibly can. Okay, all right,
So what I order you tell me.

Speaker 1 (01:42:42):
Today is uh is National dingling Day?

Speaker 5 (01:42:46):
Please tell me what you mean? Uh, it's uniquely some
people say every day. But I mean, but I mean, right,
this is this is something that people don't who don't
have good sense. So does it mean it's I remember
that that phrase used a long time ago. Yeah, somebody's
a dingling ring that they're that they're kind of goofy

(01:43:07):
uh huh.

Speaker 1 (01:43:08):
Well, so, as I said, it's it's a day where
you basically you touch base, preferably by phone, hence the
playful reference to dingaling oh with friends? Yeah, see do
I said it right, Oh, you know it is. It
is ding It's not ring it's dingaling. It's not ring aling,

(01:43:31):
but y'all would think it would be ringling, but it's dingling.
And anyway, it says it's where you reconnect or touch
base with friends or family you may have lost track
of during the year. You also get a free pass
to be just a little bit weird for the day
national back to my reference, Uh huh. So they're saying,

(01:43:57):
if you have spent the year and we've all done
at Christmas parties last year or family gathering's early spring,
where you go, man, I miss you. We need to
get together, and then you go the whole year and
you don't see them again, and you're like, man, I
need to reconnect with him and reach out to him
and say hey. Today to celebrate National Dingling Day, you

(01:44:18):
reach out to family of friends maybe you have just
lost touch with or it could be that maybe you've
even gone longer than today. Maybe you're on the outs
with somebody and just give them, give them a call,
wish them happy holidays, and a quick conversation might actually
clear things up. So if you've lost track with someone

(01:44:38):
during the day, it is National Dingling Let me make
sure I'm saying to day during the year, during the year.
Let me say I make sure I'm saying it right
with a lot of people on a day. Can you
see if I'm saying it right?

Speaker 8 (01:44:48):
Here? This is well?

Speaker 1 (01:44:50):
No, I just want to make sure. Let's see here
is this right?

Speaker 8 (01:44:54):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:44:54):
Wait, no, no, no, this is just what No, it
was I hit the wrong button?

Speaker 3 (01:44:59):
This is it?

Speaker 12 (01:44:59):
Here?

Speaker 8 (01:45:00):
Here?

Speaker 5 (01:45:00):
You let's see here.

Speaker 8 (01:45:03):
Is that me?

Speaker 1 (01:45:05):
You got me up?

Speaker 5 (01:45:05):
Oh I'm sorry, I've got me Uh yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 (01:45:07):
It's December twelfth, National Dingling Day. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay,
I got it right, Dingling Days.

Speaker 5 (01:45:13):
Okay, all right, there it is there.

Speaker 8 (01:45:15):
You go there.

Speaker 1 (01:45:16):
That's what it's called. And so for those of you
that are wondering what he's saying, that's the official name
of the day.

Speaker 5 (01:45:22):
Have you ever have you ever had that thing where
you you had lost track with somebody for so long
and you reconnected and you remember why you lost track
pretty quick into the conversation. This I wish I had
not reconnected. This was there was a reason that I
didn't put much effort in it, and now I regret it. Yeah,

(01:45:43):
you ever brought somebody back in your life that you
had successfully removed.

Speaker 1 (01:45:47):
Yes, yeah, but there's also those times where you've lost
track with someone and it's just been total mismimmunication and
you miss and you call and you after maybe ninety seconds,
you feel so much better. Absolutely, weight's been lifted off
of because you've cleared up that relationship.

Speaker 2 (01:46:03):
Right, So who's the dingling in this in the scenario?

Speaker 1 (01:46:06):
Right, let's think you.

Speaker 5 (01:46:09):
I mean, you can contact someone and give them I
would say a ring aling, but this is saying dingling. Okay,
you remember hate ding me right, right?

Speaker 1 (01:46:21):
Like ding me?

Speaker 5 (01:46:21):
Like call me right, I would say ring me, but
I mean, but I say ding But I remember when
when I was a little kid that dingaling would be
like older men talking about how goofy somebody was, yeah,
you know, And so I've never heard it used this way,
but some people I wondering if this is the word

(01:46:42):
of the day.

Speaker 1 (01:46:43):
It is not no no, it's not no what you
text no, but just it just popped up as far
as just news of the day.

Speaker 5 (01:46:50):
I remember also being being like an elementary school and
like some kid came to school and had the Chuck
Berry song. Yeah that involves this as well, and of
course we thought it was the greatest thing we.

Speaker 1 (01:47:04):
Had ever head.

Speaker 5 (01:47:05):
It's a great song. You'll sing you well, you think
a bunch of elementary boys didn't sing that?

Speaker 8 (01:47:12):
Say and.

Speaker 5 (01:47:14):
But yeah, but I just somebody saying Rick today's day
you call Larry's wall.

Speaker 1 (01:47:21):
But y'all have y'all in law touch.

Speaker 5 (01:47:23):
I talked to Larry almost every show, not not every show,
a lot through me a lot, by the way, if
it wasn't for me, it would be every show because
I try to help Larry.

Speaker 1 (01:47:34):
Yeah, you know, because sometimes people need help. And but
have you ever those they can't quite quite call themselves?
Do you have those friends though that like maybe you
need to dingling and and holler at I'm not any friends,
But do you have those friends where you haven't talked
in maybe a year, but you talk and it's like
y'all saw each other yesterday. There's just that. Now, let

(01:47:54):
me tell you what that is.

Speaker 5 (01:47:55):
You're right, and I'm sure it's the same way for
those of you that Adler mentioned in a minute ago
that have served in the military. It's certainly not that
level of sacrifice by any means. But anytime you are
with people that you went through things that were difficult
and hard, and not everybody is willing or can do it.

(01:48:16):
And that's everybody you played football with. If you played
sports with people, that connection is always there. Like I
can see people that have I don't even know if
I have you mentioned that I played little ball?

Speaker 13 (01:48:27):
Did you?

Speaker 5 (01:48:28):
But when I met number one, well, seventy five in
high school, ninety six in college. Want to be seventy
five in college, but they and they told me I
would be and then they didn't. But the but when
when you meet anybody that was a former teammate anywhere, anytime,
no matter how many years, it instantly picks up. Now

(01:48:48):
I will tell you from being in a locker room
though with teammates, there's no way that today I will
reach out to them and say I just wanted to
dingling you. That ain't happening.

Speaker 1 (01:48:59):
Not do that today.

Speaker 5 (01:49:00):
Got he's just.

Speaker 2 (01:49:01):
Giving you a dingaling.

Speaker 1 (01:49:02):
You're gonna leave that part out. Just just call him? Yes,
I would just say, hey, man, good to talk to you.
Should I text my wife if there's anybody we let's see.
Is there anybody we need to anybody we need to
give a daling?

Speaker 2 (01:49:15):
Yep, that's it, Chuck, Berry's Special Word seventy two song
that was that was his only US number one hit.

Speaker 1 (01:49:24):
Are you serious?

Speaker 5 (01:49:25):
That went to number one, Chuck Berry?

Speaker 1 (01:49:27):
Are you serious? I wish we could play it?

Speaker 2 (01:49:29):
And it was about that song. The literal meaning was
about a qute toy with silver silver bells.

Speaker 5 (01:49:36):
He was having a good time at the expense of
everybody on that one because it was it was two
bells on a string, and and he would go on
and on about it. I did not know that song
because it was seventy two. I was I was only
six years old. No, I was eight years old, so
I don't recall. I remember hearing it when I got

(01:49:58):
in like elementary school and thinking how is this allowed
to even be?

Speaker 12 (01:50:03):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:50:03):
And but so that just by sitting here, I've thought
of three friends I need to dingling, but just and
I'm gonna do it today, Okay, I am. I just
maybe on the way to the farm.

Speaker 5 (01:50:18):
I just text Greg to say tell me you're listening.
Uh well he might he might know if something to
day you guys too, buddy?

Speaker 8 (01:50:27):
All right?

Speaker 5 (01:50:27):
People said, literally tomlin Us the Little Operator.

Speaker 3 (01:50:32):

the app and man loving seeing how many minutes and
hours that some of you have spent on those archives.

(01:51:16):
You're getting all that feedback at the end of the year.
Thanks for sending us all that too. And yesterday we'd
have a little bit of an issue with the archive,
but at corrected it really quick, but we accidentally sent
out what the day before again, but then you caught
it and then so look for the one that says
update right where it's his update.

Speaker 2 (01:51:34):
Yeah, and I did replace the audio in the original
one as well, but sometimes it won't update for people,
so they'll keep clicking it and it'll keep playing the
old episode. So I just went ahead and posted two
versions of that. If it's not working for you, just
look for updated in your podcast apps.

Speaker 5 (01:51:50):
There you go, speaking of bells. Okay, okay, you get there.

Speaker 1 (01:51:56):
I got the Vox seats sign in that has having
to be rebooted, so I'm having to multitask a little here.
And I'm a little distracted because you've been talking about
camp House breakfast all morning. Yes, and Connecta sausage biscuits
were just brought o heay and they're still warm.

Speaker 8 (01:52:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:52:12):
I'm just telling you. We don't deserve y'all.

Speaker 5 (01:52:14):
We don't.

Speaker 1 (01:52:14):
Y'all are the sweetest people ever from the Tech just
bring so much stuff to us from Texas Nation.

Speaker 5 (01:52:19):
I had to pull my eighteen wheeler over really listening
to because Speedy talked about I had three friends that
he needed the dingling today, he said, I do, he said,
for the safety of others and myself. I just pulled
the rig over. Oh from Pennsylvania thirty seven two and
twenty minutes top two percent fan on the Archives. Not
trying to brag, That's just what happened. And now everybody

(01:52:43):
also saying, Rick, the fact that you were born in
nineteen sixty four, a lot of us never knew about
the chuck Berry song. Thank you for bringing it into
my life today. So sorry about that. When I was
in elementary school, as I said, you couldn't believe that
this was even allowed to happen.

Speaker 8 (01:53:00):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:53:00):
And and of course you know when when Greg the
bullos and brings that in, he's got something for everybody. Yeah,
all right, So speaking of bells, okay, because that is
what that's about. Joy Reid, have you followed this one?
Have you followed this one?

Speaker 1 (01:53:18):
Joy Read?

Speaker 5 (01:53:19):
I tried to follow a little bit, Joy Reid. Somebody please,
why do we keep putting Joy Read.

Speaker 3 (01:53:27):
On the air.

Speaker 5 (01:53:28):
Well, I'll tell you why, Rick, because we're MSNBC.

Speaker 11 (01:53:31):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:53:31):
Now, she was let go there. Remember they had that
falling out. So now she's just online a lot doing this. Yeah,
oh that's right. Former and she reposted this viral video
Rick that you're going to break down and so now
everybody's talking about it.

Speaker 5 (01:53:45):
How long has jingle bells been out?

Speaker 1 (01:53:48):
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

Speaker 5 (01:53:51):
According to her back to slavery, Well, she's calling, uh
and I guess you said. This is a video she's
done before.

Speaker 1 (01:53:57):
And she's just read well known somebody broke down the
song jingle bells and and and and she reposted that
or something and it's been a viral video that makes
accusations that jingle Bells is actually racist and it was
written about slaves.

Speaker 5 (01:54:14):
The legacy of jingle Bells, right is is is racist?
Now I'm pretty familiar with it. This is this is good. Unfortunately,
things probably would cease to be racist if people like
Joey Reid would keep explaining why it is right. Because
if it's not obvious and you don't catch it and

(01:54:36):
you're not seeing anything disgraceful, Uh, now you're going to
have people looking at it if there's any merit to
what she's saying.

Speaker 1 (01:54:44):
But now, she is the type of person and we
have we could probably name about five or six of
them that their whole life is constantly stirring up something
race baiting. Of course, so because that's how she makes
a living. So anything that they anything, anything they can
do to add that would just be that'd be great
for her that day.

Speaker 5 (01:55:03):
Yeah, and I think where her stretch is here is
she says a Confederate soldier who obviously was racist, wrote
jingle Bells to make fun of black people. I again,
I haven't. She says there was a video one time

(01:55:25):
that had people in blackface playing the song and trying
to do a caricature of black people trying to participate,
to participate in winter activities, you know, So I don't
I think when someone has to say this praise and

(01:55:45):
this comes from a person who was interviewed in this
story after listening to this, and the quote was, I've
never seen it as racist till now. That was from
twenty seven teen.

Speaker 8 (01:56:01):
And so.

Speaker 5 (01:56:04):
When I'm reading the stretch here about jingle bells being racist,
it seems like it requires some acrobatics here to try
to solidify that accusation. And all I'm really seeing is
that people back in some of the old vaudeville type

(01:56:24):
menstrual shows used to do something with it in blackface.
I don't know that that makes the song racist. It
probably makes those people racist when you think, I just
don't think the song itself. I think we're getting in
the time where things have gotten so much better for

(01:56:47):
people of color that those that, as you just pointed out,
speedy and da you have too, those that seem to
not feel like they're relevant to society unless they have
some side kind of racist gong to bang. They're almost
getting desperate now to try to find things. I think
there's plenty out there that we still need to work on,

(01:57:11):
and things could get better. I don't know whether you're
going to get a march in the streets and people
demanding change overcalling jingle bells racist. Just boy, it just
seems a bit of a stretch.

Speaker 2 (01:57:25):
Let's sing white Christmas instead.

Speaker 5 (01:57:28):
Well there you go, Edler, Oh there you go again.
See this is that insensitivity that white people have.

Speaker 1 (01:57:35):
We had the breakdown of Christmas carols with the river
last night, and he determined jingle bells. Jingle Bells was
his favorite.

Speaker 5 (01:57:43):
It's a dandy, I mean, and it's easy to pick up,
easy to sing. Yeah, yeah, and it was.

Speaker 1 (01:57:49):
It was a tough one, that one. And I saw
Mamma getting kissed by Santa Claus. That one was good too,
which that was painful to listen to over and over.
The Jackson vib Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:57:59):
So someone, I think it's kind of hammil In twenty
seventeen wrote an article that was in the Boston Herald
that says, not understanding this is a common misreading of
popular music that came from the nineteenth century. We don't

(01:58:20):
understand that this song was used in negative ways. Well,
I would think at the time when racism ruled our
country in many places and people of color were treated poorly.
I bet there were a lot of things that in
themselves were not racists that were used in racist productions.
I don't doubt that. But that doesn't make the song

(01:58:42):
its sent for racist, right, It's not being used that
way now.

Speaker 2 (01:58:46):
Yeah, we don't have to get rid of a lot
of songs, I think.

Speaker 4 (01:58:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:58:48):
You know, if you just go back to an era
when people were doing things that obviously were degrading to
people of color and considering them less human, I bet
there's a lot of things that were used during that
time that if you said, well forever, because they used it,
it makes it racist. Boy, that would be a lot
of stuff. Yeah, like this thing where we're how weird

(01:59:09):
we act about cotton now really weird. Top of the hour,
The box seats are about to fill up here as
they roll in, somebody and in box seats is gonna
shot at some some Christmas cash and all of you
out there too before today's show is done.

Speaker 3 (01:59:27):

Speaker 6 (02:00:33):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (02:00:34):
M yes, sir, I see him looking over at It's
so funny the questions that you get when they all
first come in. Number one, you deal with the disappointment
of those that came here to lift Greg on their
shoulders and claim him as you know, king of all
the small town heroes out there. But yeah, Greg, Greg

(02:00:54):
not with us today. Sorry, it happened overnight with his
wife and abscess a tooth, and so it's just he's
dealing out. Yeah, yeah, I don't. I've never had one,
but the people who have said it's very unpleasant. You
you want to seek relief and hopefully doesn't you getting involved.
We're getting that all done today, so you know, then
he has to make that bold decision as a husband

(02:01:18):
goes back to this, doesn't it well, it does. Yeah,
And you know, you get to the point and you
and usually you'll start if it's something like this, you
think you can get them relief, but right now there
and didn't you know they need they need you? And
then you go so, well, I'm glad man. We got
to got to see the dentist and all that. And
it's good.

Speaker 1 (02:01:37):
It says you're feeling better.

Speaker 5 (02:01:39):
Yeah, I feel better?

Speaker 1 (02:01:40):
So how like you like, hey, I'm better? Uh, are
just a little bit better?

Speaker 5 (02:01:45):
And and really, if you're a translator, what that means
is do you feel good enough that you're not gonna
be furious when I go get my truck and go hunt?

Speaker 1 (02:01:52):
That's right? And uh, and so that Christmas movie you
want to watch, Hey, let me let me get this
on for you. Do you need anything?

Speaker 4 (02:01:58):
Baby?

Speaker 5 (02:01:59):
Got the description field that's there and your prescription is
in there. Remember you're supposed to take this now. You
have my cell phone if you need me at all,
you know, except you know, during those key times when
the deer moving reach out and uh, text, don't call
in the text of course, you know, honestly, are you know,
like our daughter and her husband, they're a lot closer
to you than I'll be. But I mean, if you

(02:02:20):
need me, uh, you know, just you know, I've been there.
I have been there. Yeah, yeah, the you know it
was the uh. And you ever do that thing where
when you're getting ready to go hunting and it's gonna
be something like an overnight and all that, you know,
when you get serious about it, we're about to and
you you want to make sure that your wife hasn't

(02:02:42):
forgotten it. You do that awkward bringing up Yeah, yeah,
you're right, I mean, we do need to do that
because you know it's weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:02:48):
You know, of course, you know you I'll be going hunting,
so uh.

Speaker 5 (02:02:52):
And and you keep doing that because if you don't
watch it, Thursday'll show up and they forgot.

Speaker 1 (02:02:58):
I'll do the show and then I won't come back
home because I go straight on down and hunt.

Speaker 5 (02:03:03):
You ever had that moment where you've talked about something
for three weeks, like a hunt. You keep dropping those
and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, on the Thursday,
they're like, yeah, I told so and so that maybe
we could go do something with them. On Saturday, You're like,
what what? What did you forget?

Speaker 1 (02:03:16):
You're gonna do it in to shoot? You're right, so
I can do something with somebody, you know what I mean? Well,
what you said, but that sound did to sound right,
so anyway, but anyway, yeah, you're right, you don't want
them to forget right.

Speaker 2 (02:03:27):
Yeah, do you guys do a shared calendar because that
helps with this a lot.

Speaker 1 (02:03:32):
It does. I don't know how to do. You have
to look at it for it to help.

Speaker 2 (02:03:35):
You have to look at it, and you kind of
almost have to announce like, hey, it's in the calendar.
It's been added, right and it's official. And then a
lot of times those sometimes I'll be a couple of
days before something and say, hey, that's been in the
calendar for months. Yeah, so you have to look at it.

Speaker 5 (02:03:50):
Looking at it is important.

Speaker 1 (02:03:51):
My wife has parent teacher meetings and like things at
the school that have been in there, and you some
people like hosted in their house.

Speaker 5 (02:03:59):
What I do is my wife has this calendar and
it just stays open all the time unless we have company,
and it's right there on the island in the kitchen.
And she's like me, we still use the paper calendars
where you write them and all that. I know that
we're behind the times, but it just and what I
will do, I have done this. She'll have that calendar
laying there. I'll get the pen. When she's not around,

(02:04:21):
I'll go right there Rick hunting, Rick Hunting, and I'll
act like she wrote it, even though she'll come back
and realize that's not her handwriting, and she wonders why
I wrote about myself in third person. But you know,
it's one of those things where I just I want
that documented. Yeah, well you know, I want that on
the table.

Speaker 1 (02:04:39):
Have you seen the reals of the advertisements for this
new it's about as big as a forty inch screen TV,
but it's like a huge iPad. But all it is
is a calendar. And they're like, oh, either your wife
will love it and you put it in the kitchen
or will you mud room or whatever you've got, and
that's where the calendar is. And you it's like eye
cal or the family ca calendar, and and that's where

(02:05:01):
everything is organized and it shows, it shows whoever it
is in the family. They're like putting stuff in it
and so you can see it. I thought about getting
us one of those. So it's just so big you
can't of you'd have to hit you on the forehead
to get out of the door.

Speaker 2 (02:05:14):
Yeah, you know, I know people that have and it's
unfortunately that's the name of it. But it's a big calendar,
a big calendar, and it's like a big.

Speaker 5 (02:05:26):
Like the founder, like the fan company.

Speaker 2 (02:05:29):
You have big fans, but they are they have a
calendar that you can put up on a wall in
your house.

Speaker 1 (02:05:35):
This is what I'm talking about, I believe, and it well,
I think this is not digital.

Speaker 2 (02:05:40):
You said, it's like, yeah, yeah, it is.

Speaker 1 (02:05:41):
Okay, yeah, okay, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (02:05:43):
This is just a entire year on one thing. So
as a family, this is in their kitchen. The people
I know, this is in the house and it's like
four by four, four by six. I like it, and
it shows the whole year. The weekends are the darker things,

(02:06:05):
and then you can go through your whole year and
even lay out the year ahead. I might have to
do that in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 5 (02:06:11):
It's uh, you know, Sherry and I we we have
quite quite active little little calend Google Skylight Calendar.

Speaker 2 (02:06:17):
Good for scheduling vacations.

Speaker 1 (02:06:19):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:06:19):
And if you all and the thing you always have
to watch out far too. If you're going hunting, you
have to you have to make sure that your wife
has something going on, because it cuts down on the
I resent that you're not here, okay, And then I
found myself trying to be like her social advisor. So
have you got somebody to go where you see nut Cracker?

Speaker 12 (02:06:40):
No?

Speaker 5 (02:06:40):
Yea, but you want to call a few people, you know.

Uh and and you know, and and it's like it's
a Nutcracker ten hours.

uh the but the that's that's that's when I might
get a text.

Speaker 1 (02:08:25):
But the but people learning here, I can't look at
when you say stuff like that.

Speaker 5 (02:08:29):
Somebody's sleeping, what are you talking about? That's yeah, I
mean it's you know, it's comfortable when you've been married
for thirty years in February. You missed that person. They're
not there, right, That's what I've asked. You're sleeping by yourself.

Speaker 8 (02:08:40):
Right.

Speaker 5 (02:08:40):
So so anyway, the dogs good things.

Speaker 1 (02:08:43):
They can come in at that point.

Speaker 5 (02:08:45):
Yeah, I will tell you one thing. We come back
on this because I want to ask you another thing
about the trip this weekend. Okay, have you have you
ever tried to get on the same page about one
of your hobbies and no matter how long they've been
around it, they can't quite get it. They still don't
fully understand how it works, which makes me think they're
not listening when we're telling them about how the hunt win.

Speaker 1 (02:09:06):
We don't listen to them.

Speaker 3 (02:09:07):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 2 (02:09:24):
Week.

Speaker 3 (02:09:29):
The Christmas cash countdown is underway. Don't miss a moment
of the show and get the gift of cash from
old Sake.

Speaker 8 (02:09:37):
Rick.

Speaker 5 (02:09:38):
Yeah, and the box seats. You're gonna get a shot
at that tune today. You'll get another shot before we're
done today. That new number is two O five five
three zero one thousand. That's the number for calling now.
Text number is still the same, eight eight eight, the
number six big box. That's six two four four eight

(02:09:59):
six nine. And we've gave you We've already given you
a word to text that will produce one hundred dollars
for somebody in a random drawing at the end of
every single show.

Speaker 1 (02:10:09):
Five shows left next week. Uh, and then we have
a little bit left today.

Speaker 5 (02:10:13):
Okay, So I was talking about we're talking about this,
this hunting thing from the text line. I'm not sure
I fully understand this. I have a debate at home.
My wife considers hunting as one of my hobbies. I say,
it's not what what say you? Well, my question would be,
if it's not a hobby, what sir.

Speaker 8 (02:10:33):
What is it? Do you know?

Speaker 1 (02:10:34):
Are you getting paid for the hunt? Are you a professional?

Speaker 5 (02:10:37):
Are you you work with an outfitter? Or do you
think this is your your life? I know it feels
that way at times, but I don't understand your side
of that argument. It clearly is a hobby.

Speaker 1 (02:10:51):
Maybe does you mean a lifestyle?

Speaker 8 (02:10:54):
Maybe?

Speaker 2 (02:10:54):
You could say that if he always harvests something and
his family regularly eats that food, that's just like going
to the grocery store.

Speaker 5 (02:11:01):
Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:11:03):
I'm just guessing by the way.

Speaker 5 (02:11:05):
That was another underestimation I've Sherry like, I don't think
it's fully ever comprehended how much meat you get from
a deer.

Speaker 3 (02:11:13):
It's a lot.

Speaker 1 (02:11:14):
And like she pretty much sure things to say things like, well,
you probably need to get another deer.

Speaker 5 (02:11:19):
I'm like absolutely. And so yesterday I was bringing what
I left some at camp house and I brought the
dough i'd already killed home. Didn't expect her to be there.
I come in with three bags of meat. I'm doing
huge bags and.

Speaker 1 (02:11:33):
You'd already gotten some out and I'd already.

Speaker 5 (02:11:35):
Left some at the camp house.

Speaker 1 (02:11:36):
And she was like, what is all that?

Speaker 5 (02:11:37):
And I was like, uh, groceries, you need to keep
one at that and so so I said, I'm just
going downstairs. I brought some of the deer meat home
and she went down there and she was like, it's
all of it, and I said, yep, I said, we'll
go through this pretty quick. I probably need to get
another one. And she was like I think I think
this elastics the year. I'm like, no, no way, not

(02:12:00):
with the winter we got coming. And so so anyway,
that's a it's a it's a lot deer. It's a
lot of meat, which is good, it's great.

Speaker 8 (02:12:10):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:12:11):
And what we'll do is we have a great program
in our state.

Speaker 5 (02:12:14):
All kidding aside, uh taking the bit for a mending
and doing a serious moment, is that when we're managing
uh these deer, when you get all you need, we
have a great program where you donate it to those
that need that need food. So there's so those of
you that are upset with us will take that then
I mean I'm not I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
take heat for out trying to help others. No, not

(02:12:35):
at all, Okay, and it's not about us, and uh
we'll take that head off that great nine point that
we're all after. But that meat goes to the homeless.

Speaker 2 (02:12:45):
And when you say bags for people that aren't familiar
with deer, honey, Rick's not talking about like sandwich bags
or SIPs. We're talking about like trash bags.

Speaker 1 (02:12:52):
Yeah, yeah, big yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:12:53):
We're talking about a lot of times in like little
boxes I'm we're talking about like hefty. Yeah, so this
the other thing. Sherry and I I mean Sherry married
me thirty years ago in February. Okay, she was she
We dated for a six months and were engaged for
a year. Okay. So that's how long she's been immersed

(02:13:14):
in my family's culture.

Speaker 3 (02:13:16):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (02:13:16):
And my dad, as y'all know, lived and breathed hunting.
Can't believe we ever come out of the woods when
we go hunting. Can't believe it. To his to his
last day on earth, he passed two years ago tomorrow.
He never understood while we ever came out of the
woods and then went back, he said, why are you leaving?

Speaker 3 (02:13:34):
I'll let me tell you this.

Speaker 5 (02:13:35):
I ain't no biologists. You know, we're rubbing his hands,
but you ain't gonna kill no deer sitting in here
by the fireplace. And you never could argue with that.
But so so she's been immersed in that culture. My
wife still to this till till this week, still can't
figure out the time schedule of a full hunt.

Speaker 2 (02:13:58):
She can't get it. She's ill.

Speaker 5 (02:14:00):
Thinks after noon hunts in so much earlier than they do.
She'll she'll do things like, well, I mean, if you're hunting,
that's okay, but we can still do that. I'm like,
what she said, Well, when do you when do you when?
Are y'all done hunting?

Speaker 8 (02:14:10):
You get you?

Speaker 5 (02:14:11):
So you you what do you done about four?

Speaker 1 (02:14:14):
Three three?

Speaker 5 (02:14:16):
I said, baby?

Speaker 1 (02:14:16):
I said, that's what.

Speaker 5 (02:14:17):
We're not done till it's dark. Well, I'm looking on
my app right here, it says sunset's four thirty. What
I said, as long as there's honey, we work, we
will hunt. So it's completely dark first light, we'll legally hunt.

Speaker 1 (02:14:31):
That's right, okay.

Speaker 5 (02:14:32):
So what so so you'll be home at five thirty,
five thirty, yeah, I said, I may still be out there.
What if we have a deer down, we're still picking
people up? I said, baby, If I'm hunting in coming
home that day, there's no way I'm home before six thirty.
We're a half hour from where we live, which is
not bad. But by the time you're you're you wait

(02:14:54):
for the sun to go down. You get everybody picked up. Now,
if somebody has killed something, you know you can ruin
a good hunt can run now. Great now, now you
now you've got all kinds of things going on, I
mean it could delay on to eight o'clock or something
like that. Yeah, for some reason, she she's never locked
in that the afternoon hunt is till completely dark. Like

(02:15:18):
she thinks that, well, there's an option. We could just
hunt in the morning and like hunt till like two
and then come home. No, and I'm like, oh, what
in the world. But when her has spreadsheet, but how
about this? We've covered this, yeah, over and over and
then it's never locked in. I do need to ask
you a quick did you get your binoculars back from her?

(02:15:38):
Because are you using them? I've noticed the last couple
of times we went, you, uh, coming out a little
early to me. Can't see can you see? I mean like,
do you they have binoculars?

Speaker 1 (02:15:51):
I do have binoculars.

Speaker 13 (02:15:52):
Are you sure?

Speaker 5 (02:15:52):
Yeah? I'm just when you were down in the bottom.
I think I just don't want you. I mean I
just coming out a little early, all right. I mean
I can't said as long as I.

Speaker 1 (02:16:02):
Well I thought I started. I was thinking he didn't
get those binoculars back. No, I've got It's like I
can't see, man, the problem is he squinting. No, I
can see.

Speaker 5 (02:16:10):
I got my binoculars back. That was another thing that
we went into. She goes, why why can't Why why
are you saying that I need to buy my own binoculars?
So do you use them year round? And I was like, no,
but they need to be where they are, And she said,
but you don't hunt year round and I said I don't,
but I the binoculars need to be where they are
at camp house and they really shouldn't be messed with.

Speaker 1 (02:16:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:16:33):
She goes, so you got to problem be getting binoculars
out of the very place that we both own together. Okay,
And I said, well, but you have the she shack
and I have the camp house. She goes, those are
both hours, right. You know I don't have a house
and you have a house. What kind of weird thing
is that it's our money? Yeah, and I said, but

(02:16:54):
you need if you want bird watching or whatever you're watching,
you need to have your own binoculars at that particular
location you're coming over to camp house, which, by the way,
clearly you shouldn't just be rambling around the camp house.
And I said, and you grabbed my one of our binoculars.
She goes, I look, there was like four pair in there. Yeah.
I said, well, what are the boys supposed to use

(02:17:14):
you know what I mean? We all have our own binoculars. Yeah,
And she was like, it's not gonna hurt for me
to have, can you not? Can you come over here
and get them if you need them? I said, well,
you talk about breaking the rhythm. Yeah, everything should be
at camp House that belongs to camp House, and everything
should be here that belongs here.

Speaker 1 (02:17:32):
I just noticed you coming and kicked me before the
moonlight lights up the field. Really yeah, okay, hey, best
hunting's after dark. Leave, said Joe.

Speaker 5 (02:17:41):
I'm just quote my cousins.

Speaker 1 (02:17:44):
Yeah, just show up now. It does light up the
field lot. But I mean, I'm kidding on that. But
now you're like a four thirty. Are you scared?

Speaker 5 (02:17:52):
I don't start calling you at four thirty. I start
reaching out to you at about five oh five. And
now is the season goes on in the days get
a little bit longer, We'll stay out there a little
long enough.

Speaker 1 (02:18:03):
If you could see I was afraid you didn't have
your BRANICHA.

Speaker 2 (02:18:06):
Six thirty is a stretch. By the way, you're not
going to be at home by six thirty.

Speaker 1 (02:18:08):
I couldn't tell her that it is a stretch.

Speaker 2 (02:18:11):
It's like me saying ten o'clock am to Aaron about Saturdays.

Speaker 1 (02:18:14):
We know that's not true, right, dark mission comes out is.

Speaker 3 (02:18:17):
The Rick Burgers Show come still denying any involvements in
the food fights of nineteen seventy nine.

Speaker 5 (02:18:35):
Rick Burchers, thank you for being with us today, America.
Speaking of great gift ideas. All right, so those of
you out there, I know you're out there, you're kind
of the more. Don't don't think about hunting, think about
you know, I'm a bird watcher. I like seeing wildlife.
You know, things like that. What kind of monoclar should
I get here? What brand would those be? I mean,

(02:18:58):
I mean so anyway, so email me some good ideas.

(02:20:04):
under sponsors and that is a great, great gift idea
for this Christmas season. Speedy's handing me a bizarre headline,
and Andrew says he he has more to say about
this person. Swedish man teaches pet octopus to play the piano. Yeah,

(02:20:24):
first of all, I've never laid awake at night and
thought to myself, there's something missing in my experience here
on Earth. If I could just see an octopus play
the piano, everything would be great. So first of all,
I don't know why he thinks we need this, but
but tell me, what's going on here?

Speaker 1 (02:20:43):
So what you've got is you've got a guy here, sweetist,
sweetest Swedish musician taught in octopus how to play underwater piano.
It's it's a it's kind of a crazy situation because
he's playing a guitar while the auto to push chimes
in and hits the levers on the piano keys.

Speaker 5 (02:21:05):
And are you okay with this?

Speaker 2 (02:21:07):
I actually admit something. What I got sucked into this?

Speaker 14 (02:21:10):
This?

Speaker 2 (02:21:10):
This was a like this popped across my YouTube feed.
I don't know how many months ago, maybe two months ago,
something like that. A month ago, and it was a
thirty minute video. I watched the entire thing. I got
sucked into it.

Speaker 1 (02:21:24):
I couldn't.

Speaker 2 (02:21:25):
I couldn't help it.

Speaker 1 (02:21:26):
You gave this thirty minutes of your life, yes, and
I was intrigued and loved it. You could have watched
a Seinfeld rerun.

Speaker 2 (02:21:33):
He picks the octopus up from a like a food market.
Like he didn't buy it, like from a pet store
or whatever. The thing was going to be served up
on somebody's plate. He gets it from a food market
and just talks about the process of teaching an octopus
to play the underwater.

Speaker 5 (02:21:48):
Now, he's not like that weird octopus documentary guy who,
in my opinion, fell in love with it, drifted into
a world that is depraved.

Speaker 1 (02:21:56):
It would lay on his chest and he'd like, yeah
we did. Oh yeah, that one was only about as
big as your hand. And he would just lay on
his chest and he would sit there holding his breath.

Speaker 5 (02:22:05):
I thought I was watching a documentary about you know,
the the the incredible creature of the octopus, and it
just got and all of a sudden it took a turn.

Speaker 8 (02:22:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:22:13):
Yeah, I was like, he's taking his shirt off.

Speaker 2 (02:22:15):
He's this is platonic.

Speaker 1 (02:22:19):
So so I gotta see this and hear it because
I have the audio only. But this this has both
what Adler has rig and and so uh he the
octopus grabs the levers that are attached to the piano keys.
That's how he's playing while the while he's playing the guitar.

Speaker 5 (02:22:41):
So there's levers there.

Speaker 2 (02:22:42):
He had to fashion some levers?

Speaker 5 (02:22:43):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (02:22:43):
With that?

Speaker 5 (02:22:44):
Is that really him?

Speaker 4 (02:22:45):
You know?

Speaker 5 (02:22:45):
If Greg was here, I can hear his voice right
over there right now. He ain't ready play.

Speaker 1 (02:22:49):
It's an octopus. It's an octopus pulling levers that's all.
This is right. You can see the different versus Adler's
channel in my mind. Okay, yeah, yeah, me down.

Speaker 2 (02:23:01):
He's playing piano with the octopus, y'all.

Speaker 1 (02:23:04):
Should you wait? Where there you go?

Speaker 8 (02:23:07):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:23:08):
So now this is now we're inside, we're underwater, and
now we're saying the octopes underwater that camera angle.

Speaker 2 (02:23:14):
Okay, so we three D printed designs in different ways
to get the octopus to pull on it.

Speaker 1 (02:23:20):
Oh so we grabbed those little levers and pull down
on it.

Speaker 5 (02:23:23):
Can the octopus here hear that? Yes, under the water,
that thinks she'll okay, yes, yes, that was it.

Speaker 2 (02:23:36):
There it is, y'all. And so he used little crabs
and put little crabs in an elevator to entice the
let's pa tac taco's.

Speaker 3 (02:23:47):
Y'all, y'all.

Speaker 6 (02:23:55):
Not good.

Speaker 1 (02:23:56):
So we're supposed to have already eaten that, and it's
playing the piano. Are you kidding me? Talk good?

Speaker 2 (02:24:05):
I love you, Tako.

Speaker 1 (02:24:06):
Did you see him his little suckers just thirty minutes
you gave I gave it thirty minutes. Wait, yeah, because
six months it took him to do this, six months.

Speaker 2 (02:24:15):
The train worked so hard on it. You're just like,
I got to see the end of this.

Speaker 1 (02:24:19):
Did he think Taco could understand what he was saying?

Speaker 2 (02:24:21):
He talks to Taco more than you want.

Speaker 5 (02:24:24):
Not not as bad as that other guy though, right, No,
he keeps no point, he shirtless.

Speaker 2 (02:24:29):
Right, it's like a brother relationship, not like a weird
husband octopus relationship that we saw the octopus teacher?

Speaker 8 (02:24:36):
Was that what it was?

Speaker 2 (02:24:36):
My octopus teacher?

Speaker 1 (02:24:37):
What a weird I blame you. You're the one that
told us about it. I know I should have never yet, guys,
I had salts.

Speaker 5 (02:24:43):
Basically, I pointed everyone to a documentary that featured beast reality.

Speaker 1 (02:24:48):
He started crying at the table with his family. Don't
about how much he left octopus? Yeah, I thought to
my loo. I looked at Sherry and I said, I
liked it was go honting. We look at this guy.

Speaker 5 (02:24:59):
Y'all here all the time to go play with this octopus.
At least I'm not doing that. All right, So I
know I know what Greg would say, you when you
speak on his behalf. Yes, channel Greg, y'all think that
was good? Y'all think that's playing the piano. I mean
that's what Greg would be saying. Does he play the
piano better than what I just heard.

Speaker 2 (02:25:19):
That's as good as it gets. That hurts.

Speaker 1 (02:25:21):
I mean, can I have some chopstick something something? Can
I see the octopus's face? Does it smile at all?
Like like check that out? He doesn't, Well, you know
what I'm saying. They can kind of like not, you
know what I mean, like the way they I think
that's a bad note. He should go in there. He's minery,
it's moody, so he trains it is so he can't

(02:25:43):
hear him playing the guitar. Has he hit the beat?

Speaker 2 (02:25:48):
There's an argument between argument to me made there. I
think that beat was lucky, a lucky beat.

Speaker 5 (02:25:53):
Okay, yeah, now it's getting less impressive it is, so
you're saying that, really he's just grabbing those levers to
get that crack, and this guy's trying to play some
chords that go around it.

Speaker 2 (02:26:03):
Let's okay, now that I'm thinking about it, I wasted
thirty minutes of my life and that guy wasted six
months of his.

Speaker 5 (02:26:08):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (02:26:09):
So as I think that's what we're learning right.

Speaker 5 (02:26:10):
Now, I don't know what I'm more upset about his
loss of six months? Are you're lost of a half hour.

Speaker 1 (02:26:16):
Yeah, I got into it.

Speaker 5 (02:26:18):
Wow. So Taco is so for thirty So if you
went thirty minutes, he takes you to him. You know,
very beginning, he's getting a lot. He's got to get friends.

Speaker 2 (02:26:30):
Yeah, does he get a friend thing?

Speaker 5 (02:26:31):
Does he have a girlfriend? Something to do?

Speaker 1 (02:26:34):
So we get excited about like going hunt today, he
gets excited about working with Taco. Yeah, that's not the
same excitement.

Speaker 5 (02:26:41):
Do you think he sees our interest in hunting just
as oh, we're probably evil? Oh well if you save
an octobus from a from a web market? Yeah, to
teach you to play a piano, you're.

Speaker 1 (02:26:51):
Not a big No, you do not want to go hunt?

Speaker 5 (02:26:53):
No, that's true. That's a great point.

Speaker 8 (02:26:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:26:56):
So, uh, I didn't get jingle bells. I didn't get chopps.
I didn't get anything out of that.

Speaker 2 (02:27:01):
Right, we're not playing jingle bells anymore. Rate remember racist?

Speaker 5 (02:27:04):
By the way, can I can I do one last
little thing on that racist thing? Do you remember the
movie The Incredibles? Yes, outstanding movie, really good. Do you
remember the outstanding line? If everyone if everyone is super,
then no one is. If everything is racist, then nothing is.
And can we not learn that what we're doing is say,

(02:27:27):
taking something that's very wicked, very evil, that that at
times needs to be addressed. But if we declare everything racist,
then sadly nothing will be and and don't we know
that apparently not.

Speaker 2 (02:27:39):
Yeah, you can't. You can't call out actual racism if
we're calling everything.

Speaker 5 (02:27:43):
Racist, right, right, You're really you're taking It's just it's
just turning into a parody of something very serious, right.

Speaker 2 (02:27:51):
Can I explain something that I did that seemed to
maybe like I was trying to rub you know, lemon
juice in a paper cut or whatever. We talked about
that that the song jingle Bells being potentially racist. I
have these royalty free songs that I'm using to cover
Rick's real songs. And I'm not joking you. The next
one in line, and this is totally random. The very

(02:28:11):
next time we're coming back from break, I'm like, all right,
Christmas songs, here we go and go. So that seemed
like I was trying to say something, But yeah, it
was funny. I let it roll though, because it's not racist.

Speaker 5 (02:28:27):
Dash through the snow together. It's a one horse, open sleigh.
That's it, So all right, we'll be back.

Speaker 1 (02:28:33):

I know you guys were talking a little bit about
Philip Rivers this week coming out of retirement. Yes, the
reason why he could come out of retirement and re
signed with the Colts is he did not submit his
retirement papers to the NFL. He retired as a Charger.
Some means he cannot go back to the Chargers, but
he can go play for any.

Speaker 8 (02:33:07):
ProTem he must.

of Fame till he turns in that paperwork for his for.

Rick Berger Show on string phone calls, go ahead.

Speaker 7 (02:37:06):
Hey, I was uh, I was just wondering if you've
seen what's been going on in Blacksburg lately when James
Franklin got hired and he re hired the coach that
just got fired at the defensive coordinator.

Speaker 5 (02:37:19):
Oh really, No, I didn't see that. How about that?

Speaker 2 (02:37:22):
So?

Speaker 7 (02:37:23):
I think, how's that time that's ever happened?

Speaker 5 (02:37:25):
How's that going? How's that going?

Speaker 8 (02:37:27):
Over? As a fan.

Speaker 7 (02:37:29):
You know, I don't know, I don't hate it.

Speaker 5 (02:37:31):
Okay, good. So you like the guy, you just didn't
think he needs to be. He's a better coordinator than
head coach and that there's there's many times that's the case.

Speaker 1 (02:37:39):
Yeah, that's see Tennessee. Did they get the defensive coordinator
from Penn State?

Speaker 8 (02:37:43):
Is that right or Ryan?

Speaker 5 (02:37:44):
Yes, Tennessee fans don't. When the box seats are here,
we'll meet him. But we're also going to get one
of them, maybe two. We'll see a chance to win
some of that Christmas cash. WHOA Where's come up next?

Speaker 8 (02:38:42):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (02:38:43):
You've heard us talking about it on the show for years,
comparing a little league from when we were kids versus
the kids of today. So I guess this is a
teammate that played on the team in Calhoun County, Alabama. Yep,

(02:39:03):
And we were sponsored and it's not a comedy bit
you now see its reality by Miller Funeral Home, which
meant they put in our hats m F. There's a
picture that Adler just took for those of you that
are that are tubers, and it features this team. And

(02:39:25):
I want you to not just look at the team.
For those of you that can see it, I may, yeah,
there it is. I want I want you to look
at the pointer. All right.

Speaker 6 (02:39:33):
So when you see this team, let me show you
Greg first. Here's Greg. Uh huh yeah, there's Greg there.
I am that's that's me at like ten Okay.

Speaker 5 (02:39:47):
And and and I don't know what's happening with teammate
Wayne Lee.

Speaker 9 (02:39:53):
I don't know what this is.

Speaker 8 (02:39:55):
Uh not.

Speaker 5 (02:39:56):
Even the photographers cared then, you know what I mean.
I mean, not only did you I get a participation trophy.
They the picture is good enough. Okay, I'll stand over there.

Speaker 6 (02:40:04):
Okay, So these three men, you see those three men
in the background.

Speaker 5 (02:40:11):
We weren't being coached by Phil the accountant, Okay. We
were being coached by men that just got off their shift. Okay.
We're talking about men who were in the jungles of Vietnam. Okay.
And and our bats were in an army duffel bag. Okay,
and you shared them all. You didn't have your own.
Nobody had their own back, nobody had their own helmet.
You just you just played with whatever Billy Joe had. Okay.

(02:40:34):
Those are the Adams across the back. And uh, you
think right there in the middle, you think Billy Joe
Adams handed out a participation trophy. I mean there were
there's kids on that team that never played an inning
the entire season. Okay. And we rode in the back
of his truck, beer cans in the back of it, okay,

(02:40:59):
and uh and and like we said, he would, he
would get out, he or Pete, either one of them,
his brother, and he would literally get out. He'd fin off,
finish off the paps, blue ribbon, throw it in the
back of the truck which we rolled in to practice. Yeah,
a lot of cigarette get his back.

Speaker 6 (02:41:16):
I said, let's get one.

Speaker 5 (02:41:18):
And that's how, that's how.

Speaker 1 (02:41:19):
And and our parents would leave us with these bits.

Speaker 5 (02:41:21):
Yeah, they would.

Speaker 1 (02:41:23):
No one cared, No one would practice, time to get
things done. They didn't stay and watch.

Speaker 5 (02:41:26):
My mama wouldn't have any practices, not she She just
trusted me to the Adams brothers. I mean it's it's
like we he picked us up in the back of
his truck. And you know what, though, even though that
was a tough time and we might have grew up
a little a little a little hard and a little
difficult and slightly traumatized, but you know what, we could persevere. Yeah,

(02:41:52):
I know you think we were into We weren't in
touch with getting our feelings hurt and disappointment.

Speaker 2 (02:41:57):
Was it?

Speaker 1 (02:41:57):
I noticed something about the Burgess boys in this and
I've never y'all. Are y'all are wearing matching undershirts, white
turtlenecks or must have it cold? Was it winter?

Speaker 5 (02:42:07):
It was a cold day on the picture day, cold day,
and if apparently Mama thought we needed to have a
have on some sort of undersleeve than to keep warm,
which is standing. I noticed other members of the team
not so much. Some did, some did what if they
were cold?

Speaker 1 (02:42:20):
Because I see one with a jacket on, so that
I mean clearly it is Chili, right.

Speaker 5 (02:42:25):
I think he was our picture keeping his arm warm.

Speaker 1 (02:42:30):
So the uh that that really does?

Speaker 5 (02:42:32):
Yep, that's tough. Hey, go a whole season where they
mix all the different leagues and one of the leagues
is the Babe Ruth League where teenagers are playing.

Speaker 1 (02:42:41):
Yeah, walk around with MF on your hat as a
ten year old. Try that out.

Speaker 5 (02:42:46):
That's a tough day at the ballpark, Okay, especially eating
a hot dog. Okay, So it's a it was you
know the movie Bad News Bears. I mean you sit
there and you look at that, and there's so much
in that that's just real. Yep, that's what really happened.

Speaker 1 (02:43:01):
A lot of it exaggerated, No, when I lot of
it really and that that team photo looks like it.

Speaker 8 (02:43:06):
No.

Speaker 5 (02:43:06):
No, I've said this. I've said this before speaking at
conferences and doing a little comedy and I've even said
it before here. When I was a little boy, if
a man you know, bit down started talking to me
and I smelled beer on him, I thought, well he
must coach littlely. I mean, it was just a difference.
Now now we have parents that are you know, hovering

(02:43:27):
over their children, worried that feeled the accountant's going to
say something mean to them. I mean, try these guys. Yeah,
And like I remember, like the police were called to
our game so much. It didn't even a lot of
times you wouldn't even get out of your stance. You'd
be in the outfield and the police be pulling up,
you know, cause two coaches were fighting field over.

Speaker 1 (02:43:46):
You wouldn't even look. You just keep playing, you know,
because it happened so much.

Speaker 5 (02:43:50):
I mean, I remember being on the field where the coaches,
the two coaches would literally fight, I mean they would
absolutely fight physically on the field, and then we get
back to the fourth ending and they'd still be there. Yeah,
nobody would send them home. They'd work it out. Yeah,
And I remember one where one came out with a
bat after the other coach h But but none of

(02:44:12):
it seemed odd. I guess it's just all what you
what you're accustomed to, right. I remember thinking, well, this
must have been going on all over the world, you know.
I had no idea. And I remember when we moved
to Birmingham and because of the success of the show,
were able to live in nicer neighborhoods, and I realized, oh,
there's a whole nother culture. I didn't I didn't even know.

(02:44:34):
I didn't know anything about this, right, what is all this?
Why are we all going to practice? And I said
I had to learn all that. You know that you're
supposed to. I remember thinking, where do these people get
all this extra time? My parents never seemed to have
extra time for that. They came to the games, but
they weren't going to practice. And I do love the

(02:44:56):
photographer there. Hey, y'all get together.

Speaker 1 (02:44:58):
You got some that are in what I ca all
the high knee, you know, like they're sitting down, Sure,
they got a knee and they're up real proud. And
you've got some that are sitting back on their butts.
And he's like, all right, that'll do.

Speaker 5 (02:45:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, next, hey, get you some green apple
bubble gum and walk past the Bay blue field with
that hat on.

Speaker 1 (02:45:16):
But your size, I'm sure people were like, I'm not
sure if we need to mess with him. But now
your baby brother Greg, he'll fight.

Speaker 5 (02:45:23):
Let me tell you that little fella right there.

Speaker 1 (02:45:25):
Yeah yeah, that little fella right there, see Adam some sideburns.
I didn't know that.

Speaker 5 (02:45:30):
I want you to look at little Greg right there. Uh,
that little fella right there, Yeah, would fight the devil himself.

Speaker 1 (02:45:37):
At him, Look at him, Look at him.

Speaker 5 (02:45:40):
Right that's the meanest little boy I've ever known. I
was a little more good natured. Yeah, No, you were
just conniving.

Speaker 1 (02:45:52):
You set him up a lot because you knew what
would get him going and what he would fight.

Speaker 5 (02:45:57):
Yeah, then you'd come in. I tell you, you see
me standing there. You think I can find a concession
stand for you? They followed, big Felly, He'll take us
to it.

Speaker 1 (02:46:06):
Yeah, you know that's back when the umpires held the
cushion in front of them.

Speaker 5 (02:46:12):
Oh yeah, you know they didn't.

Speaker 1 (02:46:13):

funny it was that day we thought, oh what a
good segment. Yeah, and then then now we have to
actually do it.

Speaker 1 (03:14:45):
Well, I was just I was just thinking, uh, you know,
it would be great for the Christmas party if we all,
you know, brought out the gift. We be fine for
someone else to see what kind of creativity and all that.
Now you were yours is gonna be storeball that you
just cli together? No, no, no, no I know that. No, no, no,
I have.

Speaker 5 (03:15:03):
I went out and bought the the elements I need
to make the gift for my baby brother. I mean, well,
what we do go out in the woods and cut
a tree down, and that it would be break off
limbs and making one of those pine cone turkeys.

Speaker 1 (03:15:18):
That would be creative there, be crafty, Yeah, it'd be good.

Speaker 5 (03:15:22):
Mind is crafty. But Thanksgivings over turkeys are not Christmas.

Speaker 3 (03:15:26):
That's true.

Speaker 8 (03:15:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:15:27):
Yeah, does anybody y'all do y'all make turkey again on Christmas?
We don't, you know we did that?

Speaker 1 (03:15:32):
What up to about three or four years ago, we
were having the same food again for Christmas that we
did on Thanksgiving, and so we kind of changed that
up we went. We've gone taco bar, lasagna and all
this kind of stuff. And because of my my sister's schedule,
normally we have my mammal's recipe gumbo from the Gulf Coast.

(03:15:53):
Normally we have that on Christmas Eve, but because of
their schedule, they're getting there late. So we're switching and
we're gonna have have chili on Christmas Eve and gumbo
on Christmas Day later in the day. Okay, just switching
it up. Nice lawsuit. What what do you mean there's
nothing now, We're fine. That could be a taco bar again,

(03:16:13):
and we seem to be we always seem to go
that that way.

Speaker 5 (03:16:16):
But right I'm just thinking there's some sandwiches in there
too or something more.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
