Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
You better listen up, you know, like we say, also,
we gotta find us.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
The voice of reason in an unreasonable world. The Rick
Burgess Show.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
All right, America, thank you for being with us today.
The gang all here speeding Gregg Adler, and we moved forward.
We will look back on the memorial service last night
for Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
That's coming up next. I as we'll walk through some
of the highlights of.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
That with you on screen. Phone calls still to come,
and some more hate birds as well. As we move forward.
You know, I think probably my best shot here will
probably be Adler. Have y'all ever stayed in the bed
and breakfast? I have no kind of scared of it. Yeah,

(01:12):
are either they're haunted?

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Yeah, but actually probably more so when I was a
kid with my parents growing up.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Were they big on a bed and breakfast? I do.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Now I do air bed and breakfast Airbnb, but those
aren't real bread.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
And breakfastes ask you this does that count? What?

Speaker 4 (01:30):
It doesn't count?

Speaker 3 (01:31):
So? Is this like an old house and y'all have
a room and everybody's got a different room? You walk out, Cup.
I was not mentally prepared for it, Okay, because I
in my mind.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
I don't like that format. I don't like that format.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
In my mind. Super nice people, but in my mind
I kept picturing places that we normally. I couldn't get
hotel out of my mind. I couldn't get it. I
couldn't get an N out of my mind. And so
I just wasn't I wouldn't menally heard you chose somebody's
house because at one time, at one time we were
driving alone and I said, sure, were we staying at
an inn or a bed and breakfast? She goes, no,

(02:07):
I think it's just an end. I said, I'm pretty
sure you said bed and breakfast. And so we go
to pull sit around table with a bunch of strangers
and eat. So we go to pull in and there's
the sign. I said, it clear says bed and breakfast.
And we come pulling up to this really really, really
really old house that James Madison, the author of The
Consternation Country's got a lot of ghosts, and and it was.

(02:30):
And the first thing I think of Greg is my gosh,
strange encounters. This is when they come to get Yes,
I thought Adler and I had stirred up something. I
bet there were about three old men that looks. Yeah,
that's on the cover of a haunted house.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
That's Amityville, right, you stay in Amityville, Transylvania.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
My goodness, revolutionary soldiers stand. I just can't see him. Yes,
so you know that look. I tend to when I
go vacation, I tend to go you staying with something.
I tend to go first class. I want first class everything. Okay,
so it's cool. So my first thing is when I
pull up, I realized that nobody's coming to get the luggage,

(03:06):
and all right, I'm like, you can't what what are
you talking? Just what do we check in? I'm glad
I'm not raining because men don't run. I'm like, where
do we check in? So I'm dragging some big old
suitcase and stuff. You can't carry your own luggage. Well,
usually when you're checking in somewhere, you pull up and
they come out and get your stuff bringing in with you.

(03:28):
George clan you're you're the guy that pulls up.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
Like people have been to a hotel, no red car
normally get my own stuff.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
You don't pull up and when the people stand out
there and say come and that you want a nice.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Place, I've never stayed it in a place where.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
They got Never I've never I've never stayed in a
place where they come out and get stuff and white gloves.
I haven't. Wow, really it was dream range right there
you go, because dad would't let him get hit. Okay,
there's life outside the him and then just show y'all know,
I mean, you always depend on that. But anyway, so

(04:06):
as my go to look, I found good happening. Y'all. Look,
I see what y'all get paid. Y'all can go beyond Hampton.
And now we stayed at nice hotels.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
I just I mean, I get my own luggage though, Yeah,
you've never pulled up and there's this.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
If somebody tries to get my luggage, I'll go like
I got it. Like when y'all went to like I
was thinking about, you bring a wheelchair out. I don't
mean to break it, y'all. There's actually a lot of
places where there's people that come out and get your luggage.
You have never seen the little thing where they come
out and said put it on here and they got
the water. That's right. Well, and that's why y'all don't

(04:40):
do it. But I can't carry it back. But anyway,
I thought to carry on or there was no one
like it was a motorized card. There was no there
was no contact with any human. I'm like, yeah, now
I will say this. I'm checking in somewhere. Where do
you I just go in the house, show this one.
So anyway, so I pull up that, we go into

(05:03):
the front door on it, and there's no one in there.
And all of a sudden it hits me, which y'all
all have already been saying. So I've never been to
a bed and breakfast neither. Suddenly, suddenly it dawns on me.
It hits me pretty quick. We're just company. Okay, we're
coming over somebody's house. They just watching TV and doing
their own thing. We're company, and come on, everybody, we're relatives.

(05:28):
We're relatives coming to visit. And I mean, I'm like,
this is somebody's house. Hey, it makes a little water.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
With that, right, you're on vacation with strangers.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
And then it hits you like y'all said, oh, I
don't have a hotel room, I have a room. Get
a house like you you shifting the bed and the
whole bad score. Like it's Christmas and you got extended
family coming over. You go all right, we got you
set up in this room just like in the movies,
it's a guess room. Did you want any guess room
that you have to sit around the table with strangers
and eat breakfast? I did, really at one other people

(05:58):
are in the house and got I mean, I understand
in the hotel you go down for continental breakfast and
and you do eat around other people.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
But normally it's the same table restaurant.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah, normally you're just spread out. No no, no, no,
there was an auction you could sit at the same
table somebody. But we would get over to to cedar,
but in a very tiny room like we all ate
in the room about this sights a little bit smaller
than that room and then regular room and where what
was open?

Speaker 4 (06:25):
This does look nice there you go, yeah, oh wow,
looking like wow, that's scary.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
So you know, looks mean like he's mad. I think
his eyes walked with you and he moves By the way,
who is that? Denzil Greg? Greg?

Speaker 4 (06:41):

Speaker 3 (06:59):

myself immersing some people's lives that I went in reluctantly. No,
So I can live with that table like that. But

a picture from there. And then did you put your
fork down take a picture of a bedroom with the bathroom? Correct?
Are you sure is there one bathroom in the hall
or a there's one downstairs? Which I paid it. I

in there and there's only one sink that's kind of
out in the room. Then there's a tiny little tilet room,
and then they had a bathtub slash shower that you
could tell they put in that old room. Did you
open the bathroom door and a guy standing there with
his towel waiting his turn? No, okay, no, nothing like that.

Rick Burgess Show dot com under sponsors so bed and Breakfast.
I've never really done that before. So, like, even on
the breakfast, I realized it was an interesting you know,
because I'm trying to figure it out. So they the
host and they were wonderful people, wonderful people, such such

(11:38):
a kind family. I mean, like you see some of
their kids working, and she comes out and says, is
this filling the blank? Okay for breakfast? But I don't
have a menu, So I'm thinking, could I say no?
Or is this just the way? Is this just the
way they inform you this is what we're having for breakfast?

(11:59):
Do they have another option? Like would they say how
about a croissant? I didn't know what to do with it? Yeah, pancakes.
And I liked what they were making, so I was
faining it was absolutely delicious. But that was a weird thing,
you know, because I'm accustomed I'm standing somewhere. I go
down there for breakfast. I got him innu. Yeah, I
got a buffet or something, not a bed and breakfast.
I told his luggage. Yeah, well I realized. No, no,

(12:19):
y'all already said, I didn't realize that. When you go
to a bed and breakfast your company, Yeah, you're just
showing out what you're sewing up to see somebody and
they say, here's the room you're in, and the beautiful room.
You know, let's face it, the craftsmanship of the you know.
One thing they told us about the property, and this
is just a little bit of serous sidebar here, not serious,
but interesting. They said that when they were refurbishing this

(12:40):
place that's been around, like say since James Madison lived there.
Uh well, he didn't live there, but this was part
of his greater property. It was a friend of his
who actually built that, built that, and his kids went
there in all this bit way. But he they said,
when we were refurbishing everything, the stuff that was made
before and up to the Civil War was in great shape.

(13:02):
Everything made after the Civil War in the Industrial age
was garbage. They said. Up to the Industrial age, boy,
we built quality stuff. But when it became let's get
as much of it out there as we possibly can,
make it as cheap as you can. They said that
stuff would just falling part everywhere, but they said civil
war back good quality stuff, and you could see some

(13:24):
of it. It was incredible. By the way, if you
want to go to small town colonial Virginia and if
you speedy who love barns, it's barn heaven. There are barns,
beautiful barns everywhere. Even on the property. There was a
beautiful barn. So you go in there and look around.
I did so, and if you add or you would

(13:44):
have just loved you and I both as handy people.
There was there was a work There was a workshop
shop in that barn that the sun had. It had
every kind of till you can think of, and it
was set up so neat and so organized ad their mind.
I liked that part. Apparently this is this a little
walking trails actually a four wheeler trail. Then there did

(14:07):
you pretend you were handy to others? Well, they'd start
talking to me about the shop out in the barn,
and I says, ooh, that's something I want to see. Yeah,
and and hey, don't run, and the husband they're looking
in he said. He said, so you like to you
like the workshop? I said, I love the smell of
a good workshop. Let me go out there and check
that out, the smell to fix anything? I said, What

(14:29):
should I be looking for? He goes, soon as you
see the goats go left. So anyway, then there, then
there's the what are we gonna do while we're here?
What what's going to be our excursions? Hang out with
people you don't know? And Mont said again Pillier James
Madison's home, by the way, the author of the constitution.

(14:50):
Pretty big deal. Yeah, I heard of it. I knew,
I knew I should have been paying attention when the
woman who's very very kind that runs the the bed
and breakfast, the wife, Is.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
This the house he slept in or is it just
one of the houses?

Speaker 3 (15:04):
No, that's the the house. We're all in there, slept
in that house. Matter of fact, that's my window there
on the left. Are you right? That's me? Is that
your bed and breakfast? Smile? You got going cheesing, isn't it? Yeah?
So uh so anyway, uh the property was absolutely beautiful,

(15:26):
absolutely beautiful. So it looks like so a lot of history.
I was concerned about Haynes. I hang on Loe, Yeah,
and finally told me to stop talking about that. She said,
you hang around with your brothers to you much? Yeah right,
so in of course, Greg, there's the one you like
the most. But anyway, beautiful home, curtains, beautiful property, all
of that. So so anyways, so much history, so much.

(15:48):
I say, now I was wrong, But anyway, thanks Greg.
So I heard them say this, They said, now when
you go to Mount Mount Pillier, I think it's been
constitution day. We have we don't have actors there, m
we have scholars. And I thought that's the different. I
didn't know that meant that they would not come out

(16:10):
of character at all. So on the property walking around
was James Madison, it's his place, Thomas Jefferson. They there
all the time, No, I think they're there for a
certain day. James Monroe. That's the only three. That's the
only different. James Monroe. Uh, so we that we encountered
James Madison. This is James Madison. Hey, what's the quarterback

(16:36):
with weird right, Yes, Fitzpatrick, James Madison would not come
out of character. That's the guy that stayed in care. Yeah. Oh,
they all we did, but he really he thinks he's
James Madison. And of course I couldn't do anything with
it because I kept trying to have a conversation outside
of the time mirror that you try to go at

(16:57):
serious business, and he wouldn't come out of it. And
then all of a sudd I'm sitting there and when
he's interacting with us, we put our phone and he goes, oh,
what is that contraption? Oh, it's some type of mirror.
I'm like, no, I said, I was like, you know
what a phone? I was like, hey, buddy, where are

(17:18):
you a smart phoney? How about this? Hey, Larry, you
know this is okay, you're a good action. Come on, Larry,
Okay you have one.

Speaker 5 (17:28):
Yeah, so you think he's James at home? I don't
know how to st at home with him.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Well, when when we come back, I'm going to I'm
going to tell you a couple of things you don't
do when you're touring this time frame of colonial Virginia,
because there's a lot of things that were going on
then so that we all decided we needed to fix.
But in that time you had you had free labor.

(17:53):
Uh and uh, And of course you know, just you
got to be real careful when you get into all that,
because you know people can be hyphpersensitive, especially when you're
in Virginia not missing up your Alabama and so a
couple of things you don't want to do there, and
and so well, uh but Jay, and also I'm gonna

(18:13):
tell you I had an uncomfortable moment with James Madison
and uh we did some and and uh and I
was also if I thought somebody exaggerated something shore, you
tell me to stop whispering, step out. We believe that
step out right and just like that can hear? Is
the bed breakfast? By the way, the Constitution is a

(18:35):
big deal. I found myself going all in and thanking
James for the work he put into it. So you said, Okay,
you're not Larry. I guess you're James. Didn't know he
would take me through the entire Yeazoo Land deeds.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
But still, this is the Rick Burgess Show. People who
don't like this show, you wouldn't like anyway the Rick
Burger Show.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
Yes, that's more about them than the show. So just
move on, okay, all right, So wrapping up the trip
this weekend to beautiful Colonial Virginia, beautiful, beautiful land. By
the way, Virginia. Y'all surprised me how much corn y'all
y'all grew this. I didn't know y'all grow so much corn.
A lot of corn, Huhina, Virginia and corn. I never

(19:29):
I saw a trement that's all been picked. But I
mean the cornfields with the you know, the now the
dried up stalks, lots of corn. I was shocked by that.
Where I was, so I was in colonial, colonial Virginia.
You know, those small towns still have the colonial style
houses and their little downtown areas. I mean, just phenomenal

(19:50):
and great food, great great service. Wonderful people. Uh they really,
they really, they really were very very nice people. Now
when I get into the you know, I'm kind like
a bull in the china shop. You know. Throughout the
years of listening to my many trips, you know, sharing
I we can't we just can't seem to stay out
of oward situation, no matter how hard we try. And

(20:13):
so James Madison, the guy playing James Madison, who was
certain he was James wouldn't come out of character, would
not not at all all of a sudden.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
His eyebrows aren't coming out of character either.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
One or two. How do you see out of that
some caterpillars they've got up on your head. Yeah, I
realize he's hitting on my wife, that James Madison. All
of a sudden, he's like, uh, well, uh, I'll tell
you one thing. If if you're in indication of what
Alabama's like, I need to spend more time there. I'm like, oh,

(20:48):
but oh, James James, the real James considered well, until
he married Dolly Madison, they referred to him as the
ultimate bachelor. Okay, maybe he's just what they said. He
was very busy, very studious, which we'll get to in
a minute where I upset the god. But anyway, so
I'm like, and then all of a sudden, he goes,

(21:09):
I find myself looking at your beauty and uh, you know,
being uh you know, really intrigued with your beauty. But
as I size up the man this year with you,
I realized I probably wouldn't fare very well. And I said,
you got that right, little guy, You got that right,
You got that right on you right? A constitution? Should
you be writing a constitution? Browns? Right? Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 7 (21:29):
Uni.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Everybody tell me how focused you were. You seem to
have a little who are you doing? You're playing James Madison,
not Bill Clinton? So uh, hey, little Sherry, I like
him shoes. So anyway, we we now begin to tour
the facility, okay, and it's it's James Madison's property. And
there's just you know about the way the DuPonts bought it.

(21:51):
They said, they messed it up and turned it into
a pink stucco and they had to go Once the
DuPonts sold it back, they had to go back and
refurbish a lot of things. Box catch, there's my beautiful wife,
the landscape there at the property, beautiful, beautiful property. But hey, Rick,
So anyway, you know, anytime you're in a group and
you're going back to the days of colonial America, it's uh,

(22:19):
be aware what you where, what everything is, Okay. Uncomfortable
moments with a very nice black couple that uh where
they're touring as well, a little different experience for them, okay,
and you have to keep that in mind. I didn't
know there's various little houses everywhere. Stepped into one and said, hey,
this thing is pretty cool. Uh, And then the woman

(22:41):
says these are slave quarters. You referred to it. It's cool.
Uh well, I was kind of saying, what a cool
little camp house and everything. Man, today's turn and today's
time's Hey, how about a heads up? And I said, oh, okay,
well let's not think out loud, all right, Yeah, I said, well,
you know, yeah, just and then I rambled around, but

(23:03):
I thought, well, James Madison probably had nicer, you know, facilities,
and maybe some other places, and then continuing out in
the couple and I'm just rambling. So anyway, so uh hey,
that's on me. So we uh so we go, we
go in, and we get up there and we're going
through the house and we get to James Madison's library,
which they estimated that he had at any time three

(23:26):
thousand or more books, and it was where big moment
in history. It was where he was set down and
put together what became the Constitution. That's a big deal.
They said. He stayed up here for like nine months.
So anyway, okay, it's a pretty big deal. Yeah, well
you have to be careful because with the books from
real no. They said that unfortunately, there was a fire

(23:48):
and they lost most of them, but they went and
found replicas from other library to say not, because when
they looked at his writings, they could see the books
he read. So they tried to go find duplicates of
the stuff that he was actually reading as best they could.
So h So, anyway, so our guide begins to look
a bit of a lecture. None of us think slavery

(24:08):
was good, well, none of us. It was horrible. We
would think there was a scar on the world, not
just our country, you know, because it was all over
the world. It's not. There's some places it's going on now,
it's not. It's terrible, but to go too far. So
in course of this, this one, this one really was
the like, hey kid, you don't have to If you
think something, you don't have to say it. You know,

(24:30):
I got time. Remember the time I got my trouble.
Remember by the time I got into trouble with the
Georgia Aquarium because I said that the fact that we
were that grouper, we had a shortage of grouper and
I said, I it's a step out and the and
the woman said, excuse me. I said, I don't think
we're hurting on grouper.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
And you know, I got lectured a little bit about that.
Sheerry said, don't you don't think if you think something.
We're just here to have a good time man, you know,
and groups don't work out. No, So the woman says, well,
Sheerry said something about James at us, and she said, well,
you know, he didn't have to work, and cheers out,
what do you mean he didn't have to work, well,
because of all the free labor that he had here

(25:09):
that were taking care of the property, so he didn't
have to fool with all that. So he didn't have
to work, I said, other than writing the constitution. Yeah,
maybe he needed to free his time up for that.
Slavery is a bad thing, but I don't think we're
ready to say that James Madison didn't work. Any anybody
think putting together constitution was? Was?

Speaker 9 (25:27):
Was work?

Speaker 3 (25:28):
I said, other than being up here for nine months
putting together the constitution? Said that out loud, I did
with the men don't run the ram, point right, I hope.
So he didn't have to work, And I said other
than writing the constitution?

Speaker 5 (25:41):
And silence did silence follow that it did?

Speaker 3 (25:47):
And the woman looked at me like she wanted to
kill me, And I said, well, I'm just making that point,
I said, I understand what you're saying, and you know
it's no doubt if they're not supposed to debate you
on right, I said, but I said the constant tuition big.
I would go as far as I say, the Constitution
ultimately was used to free people because we were being

(26:07):
inconsistent with what we claimed in there, so putting the
constitution together there was work. Probably a lot. How many
people were standing there with you while you were at
six and I don't how many were appalled that'd be
that'd be five, and you were the only one that wouldn't.
Then we go out yeah, yeah, and then rather then

(26:29):
she goes why and I said, that's I'm sorry, honey,
that was a good point. She goes, it actually was
not a bad point. It just shouldn't have been made. Yeah, okay,
why do we care with if this woman? Why are
we debating her? I said, you don't need to take
it too far, you know, you you can go and
say that, you know, we need to be thankful and

(26:50):
how this thing operated, and it did operate like a
fine old machine, and that the people who did the work.
We can do all that, but don't say James Madison
didn't work. He didn't do He might not have done
much labor, but he did work.

Speaker 4 (27:04):
Yeah, I mean make a good point.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Since he put together the constitution, you could have kept
that to you so he could have I agree with you,
Rigg said, I just don't think that's he took a stand.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
That was the right thing to do.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Rick, Okay, constitution. Did it just come together or did
it require a lot of work?

Speaker 4 (27:20):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (27:21):
Did you have anyone in the group that kind of
looked at you like, hey, that's a good point.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
Anyone? No one was, No one had the courage like
looking down at feet, looking at they were. They were
three other husbands who weren't going to say anything. Yeah
mm hmmm, actually two of them. Sorry, because it was
there was a totally so anything. They went back to
the room. Men, men don't run the ring. Guy he did.
He had a good point. And when I walked into
the next room, and when they walked into the next room,
even though I know we're supposed to be living in

(27:47):
the colonial times, they must have they must have walkie talkies,
because when I walked in the next room, it's like
the guy looked at me like that's him. Well, yeah,
you stood out. Let me tell you stood out? What
stood out? So that's uh, and uh, you're easily recognizable,
by the way. Also, if they've got replicas, what does

(28:08):
he look like. Well, he has the men that running
the range. It's real big. If he range, you'll be
the one walking. Uh yeah, so everyone else will be running.
But no, I was. I looked and then I don't say,
don't say that because James Madison, let's face, it wasn't
the most attractive man. I didn't fear losing Sherry to him.
But he did run the Constitution. My bragging, that's just

(28:32):
a little celebrity to him. He wrote the Constitution and
went on to be our I think our fourth president.
Uh so real, but he he was. We went in
and they had like replicas of of everybody that sat
at the dining table, James Monroe, Lafayette, Uh, you know,
some women and Dolly Madison. At the end. It wasn't her.

(28:55):
It was just a replus. She made some good cakes
and uh. And it was like a cartoon of them.
I mean they had him like you would put him
up like almost like mannequins and uh, and then I
had to I had to. Unfortunately, they went down there
and this right here at the end of the day,
it would have been Dolly Madison. I looked at you
and I said, oh, she's not much of a looker.

(29:15):
Said that again, I didn't think you about her, and
and a lot of personality. He can do better than No,
I don't think you James Madison. I think for him
that was fantastic.

Speaker 4 (29:28):
And she was a character, and she was quite a
knock on in history.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
And uh and I and sure, you just can't help,
but can't you show? You said, if you bring up
the snackcakes, we're doing. So when did you start making snackcakes? Show? Uh,
we'll be back on screen. Phone calls coming up right
after this.

go to the people I know coming off the weekend.
Sometimes you'll drag a little bit, but let's check in
with you. Of course, coming off the weekend, there's always
that wonder did the phones even work? Of course we've

(30:38):
already found things again the Grimlins over the weekend. I
can't explain it. The number is eight eight eight, the
number six big vox, And there's always that wonder. There
we go, thank you. The delay always caars me, but
here we go. So we'll go rapid fire. You know,
when you hear the phone ringing, that means that you're

(31:00):
in line, ready to go, and then we'll move through
the calls, you know, and you know, just screening them
on the fly, which makes it the most dangerous ten
minutes in radio. But we had a great weekend, a
kind of side beautiful, beautiful place, great food, great hospitality,
and much needed time together for Sherry and me. So
to the phones we go. Hello, you're on the Rick

(31:20):
Burgess Show. On unscreened phone calls.

Speaker 10 (31:23):
Go ahead, good morning. I was looking at some stuff,
just not some prophecies about Kim Clement, about the new Estra,
wondering if you've touched on that.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
I didn't fully understand what you're saying. What did you say,
Is there a new movie, a new Estra movie? Is
that what you're saying?

Speaker 10 (31:46):
No, sir, there's a prophecy in twenty eleven, a prophecy
yeah about her name was Kim Clement, and she prophesized
a modern day estra. And I'm just seeing if you've
touched on that or looked into that.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
I haven't. A matter of fact, you're telling me that
for the very first time. I've never heard anything about that,
So I apologize. I'm just not knowledgeable about it or
on it. Also one thing though, talking about prophecy, you
know tomorrow is supposed to be the end of time.
I heard somebody I can't believe it's the news people
I think yesterday actually refer to his wife as the

(32:23):
new astor.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
That's that's what Erica kirk is. People are saying that
this this prophecy, they believe it points to Erica kirk Is.
What people are saying is the first time.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Heard one of the anchors even say it easy or
the reporters. And I was very surprised. What we'll get into. Okay,
Rick Burgess show unscreen phone calls, go ahead, Well, I'll
tell you what. That's the most task. You never know
Kim Clements is a dude. Okay, I didn't know that.

(32:55):
You know, Let's face it, Kim may be one of
the most difficult gender bender names and there's a lot
over there, but that may be the hardest one. Yeah,
that's harder than Dana to me. Oh yeah, we continue.
Lines are opening up. You can join us, Rick Whirred
just show unscreen phone calls.

but alive. You know, Greg is always the best at
everybody be bringing that something's good, and so he can
point out that he didn't think So okay, that's his thing.

trying to think of all the guests we've had on
in the history of the thirty one years you're talk

meeting Jared Hudson, if it's current, wow, nobody wow Jared,

Meats that we have eaten from animals. They're like, Dad,
what animals have you? And I was like, yeah, we
had mystery meat. And these guys, see uh, Larry and Mark,
they would cook and then we would just eat whatever
they made. And it was like and of course did
the Dell seasoning sauce. That will make anything good. I
ran the list of things I've eaten. They were like,
what I know, if you you know what's wild crazy?

(42:05):
List down at the farm and you know, we have
a pond and it's been it's been real dry in Alabama. Hey,
we can't do nothing down here and planting the fields.
And she's dry as some mummy's pucket. But anyway, a
lot of tracks around the pond, so many tracks because
every animal there is coming there for water. You know what,
I can look down those trascope. Yep, I've eaten that.

(42:26):
I've eaten that. So yeah, Rick Burgers show unscreen phone

Speaker 8 (42:37):
If you listen to w ZZ cake and the guy

right now. Uh.

Speaker 17 (42:45):
The guy who does the traffic when he says the
city Silicaga, he says, it's Silicaga.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
You have to be making this AI. We've contracted this out. Yeah. Well,
this is the thing with radio stations now, they're trying.
They're all all big groups of them are owned by
like one company, and so they try to run like
you know, five, six, sometimes eight radio stations with four people,
and so they contract all this stuff out and people

(43:17):
voice track and people do these things from all over
the country, and the problem is a lot of times
they don't know how to pronounce the local stuff, and
so h there's no telling where that traffic's coming from.
And it's just like the person I think it's in
Hunstle that keeps calling me Rick Burgess. Yeah, Rick Burgess, Yeah,
same thing. Yeah, it's just as someone out of market

(43:37):
that and the Rick Burgess show unscreen phone calls.

Speaker 19 (43:40):
Go ahead, gentlemen, great show is always two things real quick.

What we're forgetting is before Speedy was wearing he was

Speaker 3 (45:40):
We continue Rick Birdess show. Unscreened phone calls. Go ahead,
hey gentlemen, how are you up we're good man.

Speaker 6 (45:47):
Hey, Max, got a question that's not gonna get anybody
in trouble.

Speaker 17 (45:50):
Hey, when you uh, any of you guys, when y'all guys.

Speaker 6 (45:53):
Listen to a sermon or apprecier, who's somebody you uh
you like to listen to at the moment.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
Well that's not a heart Well I thought you were
gonna have something worse than that. You know I listened
to I still believe it or not. I haven't done
it in a while, but I will probably go back
to it. There was a time when I was going
through just about every sermon that Adrian Rodgers ever preached.
I mean, he's you know, he's passed on, but the

(46:19):
he has a podcast of all his past sermons. Fantastic.
I read Oswald Chambers every day, who was a young
pastor back in the I think seventeen hundreds, with my
utmost for his highest I also like to listen to
John MacArthur. I was just about to say I've listened

(46:42):
to a good bit of his stuff, and then trying
to think also another one that you might know because
some of them I listened to, you may not know.
They don't have these giant platforms. They're just really good
Bible teachers.

Speaker 4 (46:56):
I didn't even know who John MacArthur was until he
stood up for church's rights to holds during COVID. I
had never even heard of him, and then I was like,
this guy rocks. Oh way, he's also biblically sound. This
is amazing.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
Yeah, he rocks his at the I've listened to Uh,
I've listened to Matt Chandler. I didn't have to Texas.

Speaker 20 (47:16):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (47:16):
I know he had he had a little bit of
a rough rough patch, but I mean I think he
got through it. And I've listened to some of his
stuff's very good as well. So those are those are
something coming to mine the I understand that, uh, driscol
is backed after all that went on with that. That
was a wild run. But I haven't heard what he's

(47:37):
doing now. But that was an interesting adventure, the Mars
Hill thing. Uh we continue Rick Burgess show unscreen phone calls.

Speaker 8 (47:46):
Go ahead, y'all remember when the tornado is pretty much devastated,
uh Tuscaloosa in the Birmingham area. Yes, so, uh that
was Darren Turkey season. My grandfather and I We're in
Ralph down there turkey hunting and we were at the
camper and was watching the news and they were saying,
you know, if you're in a mobile home or something,

(48:08):
you need to take you need to get out, take over.
And I was young, and I looked at my granddad
and I said, hey, uh, what are we going to do?
Ain't just like a mobile home? He said, yep. He said,
We're going to go to play B And I said, well,
what's playing? B? POPA? And he said, turn around, kiss you,
ask goodbye.

Speaker 3 (48:27):
What a good it ended well for y'all.

Speaker 5 (48:31):
Obviously sound like something you'd say, Yeah, I actually have.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
Yeah. By the way, somebody put on text, I have to.
I have been listening to Philip Anthony Mitchell another good one.
Uh that's a new one that I've been listening to
here over the last several months. Another and he's aid,
I like his commitment to the truth. And you know,
I like any of these people that understand that the
goal isn't for me to be coming in, which is

(49:00):
one of the things they say. Into a service that
constantly tells me how awesome I am. I prefer to
drift to Bible teachers that tell me how awesome God is.
And even as Charlie Kirk said, the church is there
to correct me, not to affirm me. We'll be back.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
This is the Rick Burgers Show. We talked to the
public every day and trust us, you should be gravely concerned.

(49:39):
The Rick Burgers Show America.

Speaker 3 (49:42):
Thank you for being with us today, so as we
work our way back. Yes, someone reminded me, I never
can remember the era that Oswald Chambers actually lived in.
It was actually he was born in the eighteen hundred
and then died in his forties in the early nineteen hundreds,

(50:06):
actually in Cairo, Egypt, fighting in World War One. So anyway,
but his wife had her sermon notes. Sherry talked about this.
Sherry did a post about this, kind of using the
analogy of what Charlie Kirk's wife is doing, and she said,

(50:26):
you know, think about these wives that have had to
do this throughout time. You know, Elizabeth Elliott being one
when her husband was killed, you know, by the very
people he was going to reach at a very young age.
In Oswald Chamber's wife who kept her notes from all
his sermons. In my humble opinion, which probably doesn't mean
a whole lot, but others agree which might help you more.

(50:49):
It's one of the best, if not the best daily devotional,
my utmost, first highest, which I've mentioned on the show
many times, and really people asking about listening, I actually
read more from great Bible teachers than I listen to
because I usually that's when I have the most time.

(51:11):
When I'm writing, a lot of times I'm returning phone
calls and things like that, and so I like to
take time and just really immerse myself in it. Martin
Lloyd Jones, Fantastic Writings. J. C Ryle. You know, our
pastor says, usually you're probably wise these days if you,
if you don't have much time, don't read much from

(51:34):
anybody who's still alive. Go back and read these great
theologians that have that have passed on. Uh and so
Martin Lloyd Jones, J. C. Rale great, great read, Oswald
Chambers great read. Uh so so sure.

Speaker 4 (51:50):
And it helps that you're looking in the mirror when
you listen to Charles Spurgeon or read Charles spurg.

Speaker 3 (51:54):
The Charles Spurgeon stuff. I do love Spurgeon stuff. And
and every time somebody tells me trick that I looked
like Charles Spurgeon, always feels so bad for him. But
with the glasses off, and certainly I probably looked more
like him than then I would somebody maybe who you know.
He always stayed just a little bit. I mean, he

(52:17):
wasn't overly thin, and he liked a good cigar and
he was healthy. Yeah, yeah, which drove some of his
colleagues crazy. They didn't like the fact that he was smoky. Yeah.
But anyway, so yeah, they were like it. There was
a big argument one time. I can't remember what it
was him with his cigars and one of his proteges,
not proteges, but one of his colleagues. Was it Ryle

(52:40):
Was it j c Rawl? It might have been, but anyway,
I can't remember, but didn't One of them liked to
go to the theater and the other one liked to
have a cigar, and they both thought the other one
shouldn't do what they were doing, uh, which was interesting.
So if we talk about Matthew McConaughey, what comes to
my speaking of not so great theologians, but people that

(53:03):
motivate people. I put Matthew McConaughey in one of those
places where you know, he'll talk, and I find myself
intrigued by what he said. But I'm not sure what
he said.

Speaker 4 (53:16):
You know a lot about like vibes and stuff.

Speaker 3 (53:19):
I don't. I don't know exactly what he said. I
kind of dug it. I think it had some depth
to it. I'm not sure the application. And if you
if I took a test on what he just said,
I would surely fail. But did you does that you
noticed that? Yeah? Like and I and it One time,
he explained, I saw him recently on something that came
up on a real where he was talking about the

(53:41):
way his parents were and the way that they parented.
And I thought, Okay, well that's probably that makes a
little more sense. He said, they were. They were a
weird combination of you. You must always keep yourself humble,
but you should always be a and achievement achiever. Achievement

(54:05):
was important, but you could never talk about what you
had achieved. But you better be achieving. Okay. And yeah,
and I'm oversimplifying it was you know, it was a
lot more words than that. Well, today apparently somebody is
talking about he's written another book. He's got a new book,

(54:25):
and in the book, one of the things he says
that has been one of the best things to keep
his marriage of thirteen years healthy is downsize from a
king size to a queen sized bed.

Speaker 4 (54:37):
Oh, I don't know about that close.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
He said. The best thing you can do for your marriage.
One way to surely get ahead is to get rid
of that king size mattress and sleep in a queen
sized bed. The smaller bed provides a more fruitful connection.

Speaker 4 (54:58):
He must, I mean no, no, that would make my
marriage worse. I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (55:02):
It's a book called Poems and Prayers, and.

Speaker 4 (55:07):
I'm a small person. I'm a small person. I require
a king size for Well, let me tell you.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
What Matthew McConaughey would say about this. He said, I
wake up one morning, I'm looking over there at Camilla,
and she's like a football field away. Man. Then you
go to bed at night like you want to snuggle
on and up, and we got we got to cover
you up and come about twelve feet over here, and
I'll come twelve feet toward you. You're like, man, this

(55:33):
dog on bed, man is not good for my marriage. Man,
get rid of that.

Speaker 4 (55:38):
Sign of that s O B all right, all right,
all right.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
And we got it. We got a queen size bed.
Now we shoulder to shoulder, all right, okay, all right, okay,
he's a but I see the word prayers and poems
this that would be interesting. Is that a prayer you
just read? Well, yeah, I don't, no.

Speaker 4 (56:00):
I I don't know. He married a Brazilian sister. Latina Latina, Yeah, Latina,
you're just thronging.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
Just just just you and Speedy were reckless today. I'm
just sitting.

Speaker 4 (56:12):
I just didn't know.

Speaker 3 (56:13):
Would you tell everybody you said, even though it's not great,
you said, moan ers, Yeah, what I do? What do
you think I said? Some people taxation thought you said
something something that rhymes with it? Yes, oh yeah, I
clearly had an M and there moan not that that's
the bone, right, yeah, but so uh like no other. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (56:39):
But now I will say this. When Terry and I
got married, I was the lightest sleeper. If she just
shifted into bed, I would wake up. But over time
that's kind of going away. I mean, I'll still wake up,
but I mean it again, I'm not saying that. I
just I'm I'm a heavy sleeper and never wake up.
But let me tell you, I could just heard anything

(57:00):
I was up, anything or felt anything like the bed
move or whatever.

Speaker 3 (57:05):
I would be up with.

Speaker 4 (57:06):
The king size. You can meet in the middle and
then you can go your several ways.

Speaker 3 (57:11):
I did y'all know this? Back to Matthew McConaughey, did y'all,

tequila usually ends up with them pantiless. And I didn't

weigh in on text Nation and they're they're talking about
the one guy said, well, Matthew McConaughey must not have
sleep apnea, because if you've got your spouse has a

(01:01:01):
seapap you ain't gonna sleep in the queen's size bed.
So yeah, crazy, anybody's still in the queen in here?
How about this? Lisa and I the majority of our
life was queen and when I went with the helix upgraded,
really ye sleep. So do you agree that a queen's
size is perfectly fine until you go to it? If
you don't know any difference, Now, there's no way that.

(01:01:23):
And then you go back from the king, like go
out on vacation. Yeah, and you go back from a
king back to a queen. The queen feels really small
if you think you're in a twin bed. Because to me,
I understand what Matthew McConaughey is saying. I truly do.
But there's there's snuggle time. I'll just leave it at that,
and and things that that may be involved beyond that.

(01:01:47):
But when it's time to go to sleep, yeah, I
gotta have some room. I mean that's I mean where
the dog's gonna sit. Oh my gosh, Oh it's true,
that's true. And the you you dog? Can I tell
those of you that have dogs sleeping with you in
the bed and you don't and you don't let that,

(01:02:09):
you don't ask them to leave, and you don't remove them.
You're sick people. Oh you're calling your brother sick. Well,
I don't think. I don't think he did what I
was talking about.

Speaker 5 (01:02:20):
Oh no, I'm talking about sleeping.

Speaker 3 (01:02:26):
Having them sleep with you is weird, but each is.
I'm not going to have a watcher. I remember talking.
I remember talking to friends of mine and I asked
them the horrible question. I said, so the dogs stay
in your bed and in your bedroom all the time
and I did not, And I made the faces you

(01:02:47):
go all the time and they said yes. I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa wow. And they said, well, Rick, sometimes things are spontaneous,
they're not planned. And I said, in the dogs have
to go through this. I know, I know that they
may not care if we're around, but we should care
if they're around. Yeah, And I said, so they're in
the room. It's terrible and I and I said, I

(01:03:08):
really think you should be arrested breaking the law. I
think some kind of loss been broken. I don't know
what law it is. It was for the moan. The
other day, I was bone please, can we stop with that?
Do not know? Can we stop.

Speaker 4 (01:03:24):

my friend that question on text nation. I said, have
you ever been cold nosed?

Speaker 3 (01:06:31):
Some of y'all take this dogs in the house to
a place. Yeah you're talking about that, you know, to
each his own. But there's got to be boundaries. Don't
you think there's boundaries at the whole human racial degree?
Oh yeah, that's that's one, and I think we found one. Sorry,
so forgot her making each other. You go to the

(01:06:55):

This is the Rick Burgers Show, only in America. Could

(01:07:42):
This is the Rick Burgers Show.

Speaker 3 (01:07:45):
And America hangs out here every day and we sure
do have a good time.

Speaker 4 (01:07:49):
Thank you guys.

Speaker 3 (01:07:52):
Staying updated but having a little fun along the way
as well, and we thank you for that. So now
on the not so fun notes, we do have more
updates on the shooting on the ICE facility UH in Dallas, Texas.
Looks like that we do have, unfortunately some fatalities. They're

(01:08:15):
saying that no ICE agents have been shot, but unfortunately
some migrants have. Is that correct. Yes. They're saying that
the sniper killed at least one migrant and wounded several others.
There might be other fatalities as well that haven't been confirmed.
They're saying when authorities were I guess pinned him in

(01:08:39):
and we're getting to him, the alleged sniper shot himself dead.
They're calling it a blood bath at the facility there
in Texas. UH and the Dallas Police.

Speaker 5 (01:08:49):
Department told Daily Mail in a statement that two people
were taking to the hospital with gunshots.

Speaker 3 (01:08:56):
One victim died at the scene.

Speaker 8 (01:08:58):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:08:58):
And they're they're also saying in news is reporting that
it looks like they were the detainees were being transferred
into the facility and the shooter. Uh is that that's
when the shooter opened fire. Uh? So I don't I
don't know. That's kind of really all we have. If
it was a targeted attack or if it was just, hey,

(01:09:20):
I'm shooting in that direct, I have, I don't know,
but we can't confirm no law enforcement officers were injured.
So I guess you could you know, you could speculate
crazy shooter, just shooting, shooter trying to shoot at ICE
agents but hits migrants, someone targeting migrants. Correct, could be cartel?

(01:09:42):
Could it could be It could be really because I
don't think the cartel the guy would take his own life, though,
you or you know, it seems unlikely. Yeah, you know,
maybe there was somebody they didn't want to be questioned,
you know, so they tried to kill them as they
were bringing them in.

Speaker 5 (01:09:55):
I don't know, you know, And it seems like these
ICE facilities have been a target here of late. There's
been a number of reports on bomb threads and different
things going on, and so this is just add this
to the list. So but there's still details that we
need before reporting two more, but we can at least
confirm what we've said.

Speaker 3 (01:10:14):
Okay, So there we go. A couple of more hay
Burges here.

Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
Hayberg emails roll and then but we ain't turning back

Speaker 23 (01:10:41):
We're here.

Speaker 3 (01:10:42):
So here's a couple of hay Burges that are simple,
and I'm getting more of these. You remember the guy
that sent us a hay Burde was it? Was it
yesterday or the day before? Hey, I want to come
watch the show. I'm in Indiana. I can't give my
wife and want to do it. And now we have
other husbands that are near this guy that are saying, hey,
I can't get my wife to go either. Let's ride together. Oh, Okay,

(01:11:04):
besides the fact there's a total stranger or a pool
other than that, Hey Burge, Hey bird Common. I don't
know where this listener from Indiana was, but I'm not
far from him. I'm in southern Illinois. I also have
a wife that's not interested in making a trip to
watch a show, but I am. So if I could
find somebody near me to ride with, I say we
make it a guide trip. This is Chris. So watch

(01:11:27):
the man get halfway through the trip and realize they
don't like each other. Well, Greg, that's a risk, it is.
It's a risk. They do have the show in common.
So there's a lot of talk there. I don't know
how far that talk takes. You hope nobody stinks, Well,
you'll go to smelling. Okay, so you got a long
trip with somebody you just met and they stink. What
do you do? I'm just saying these things you pick

(01:11:49):
up acker, you got a problem, now, that's true. You
got to consider things. Rick, all right, what if I
smoke From the text line on last segments, topic one
of ours barked at us. That was the last time. Okay,
somebody else should be arrested or something. Fine, okay, uh

(01:12:09):
hey bird, hay burge. You're thinking about grandparent names. Here's
what I'm thinking, Lolly and pop. Okay, I mean, can
you imagine a grandparents name that lollipop? Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:12:26):
What?

Speaker 4 (01:12:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:12:28):
Lollipop? Yeah, lollipop. I don't think that'll pop. I don't
think that's for me. I'm just saying, okay, I mean.

Speaker 4 (01:12:37):
To eat is pretty good about poping tart or something?

Speaker 3 (01:12:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:12:41):
If you don't want to call Grandma Tart never mind?

Speaker 3 (01:12:43):
Oh, this is this is really spiraling out of control,
isn't it. Uh hey bird, he burge, uh so, hey bird, whenever? Please,
when are you going to fix commercial airlines? You keep
talking about it. I'm stuck on an airplane an hour
and a half on the tarmac, not even able to
take off because of what they're saying is our gusty winds.

(01:13:05):
I've been in the back country of Colorado for five
days and I just want to get home. My flight
here went smooth. I got back to the airport today,
got through security with zero hassle, and here it comes,
got on the plane and then I made the ultimate mistake.
And what was it?

Speaker 7 (01:13:19):
Thought?

Speaker 3 (01:13:19):
They weren't going I have something. I thought I could
have Something's first mistake. Hey, you cannot have nothing. Can
you fix these airlines? I mean asap. That's Stephen from Kentucky,
so help us feeling spirit airlines? They've laid off eighteen
hundred people. Oh wow, So I'm sure that'll just make
that all run just even smoother. They said it was
less is more? Right. Hey, birch, Hey birge, I got

(01:13:43):
a problem. See what you guys come up with? My
wife of four years enjoy shopping most women do. When
we were dating, I told her that I enjoyed going
to the antique stores with her. Well, they was dating her.
Now that we're married, we've a lot of antiques. Oh yeah, yep,

(01:14:03):
We've got two sheds full of decorations and such. When
I go to antique stores with my wife now, I
have no interest in going in at all. It's all
just junk to me now, and I don't care for
anything about it. My wife still thinks I enjoy going
to these antique stores because I use that when I
was dating her. Oh no, I enjoyed being with my
beautiful wife. Don't get me wrong, love every minute with her.
Should I tell her that I don't really enjoy going

(01:14:25):
to antique stores. That was just part of me trying
to win her over while we were dating. Or do
I just grin and bear it. No, I say, tell
her going to these stores junk all around. It just
drains me. I'm un anonymous. This is the problem when
you fake something while dating. You know there's been women
we talked about it back on the Rick and Bubba

(01:14:46):
days that fake football and then their husband thinks they
really want to watch football with them. They have to
come clean and say I just did that because I
was trying to you know. So he played the antique
card trying to win her over.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
It worked.

Speaker 3 (01:15:01):
They're married. Now he's stuck going to antique stores. Let
me tell you this. You go to an antique store,
there's no in and out. You got to browse. You're
going to brows like you said browsed before. So much
browsing cause they don't know what's in there. I gotta
go see maybe something I like, Maybe not right, you know,
that's a whole new deal. It's some brows. I mean,
you guys will get comfortable. You're gonna be there. If

(01:15:23):
you go to an antique store, you don't ever say,
here's what I'm going in for. You never let me
go get this antique lamp real quick. No, you don't
do that. You ever find an old chair and just
sit down? I just wait on a lot of them.
Ol chairs are pretty comfortent. Or an old school desk.
You ever said in one of them? Oh yeah, would
you bring in your house with haint soil in the drawers?
I'm not scared to school desk for some reason. But
mirrors and that mirror? Now, what about a dresser? Yeah?

(01:15:45):
What about a wardrobe? Ooh? So about the combo? It's
got a mirror on it. But his question to us
is does he tell his wife? Now? I think how
long they've been married? He didn't say, Ah, boy, you
gotta be careful.

Speaker 4 (01:15:57):
You got to tell my wife thought I enjoyed decoration
in Christmas trees for a couple of years there. You
got to You gotta come out of the closet and tell.
And I came out of and how did she take it?
It was fine, she understood.

Speaker 3 (01:16:10):
Did you did you explain I was just trying to
make you like me. Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:16:14):
Yeah, I didn't. I didn't mean to give you that
impression that I enjoy doing this.

Speaker 3 (01:16:18):
Do you think is there a way that he could
somehow spin this where his wife is flattering and goes, oh,
that's so sweet for him to say. You know what,
I was just struck with you, and I didn't care
about antique stores, but I pretended I did because I
wanted you to fall in love with me. Can I
be released from this now? I think it'll kind of
make her feel good until the next time she wants

(01:16:39):
to go just be a little bit more gentle. I
think the way you say it is everything. You could
almost get all that sweet out of it and be
out of antique stores. But you're gonna have to be careful.
That's the route to go. Yep. Or you could play,
or you could play a game and go okay, let's
come clean. What's there something that I make you do
you don't really care about? And then she's says, oh,

(01:17:00):
what football? I don't like football? And you go, okay, well,
I don't really care about going to antique store. We did?
I know, I like I did, but I did. Yeah, no, one,
I'm careful. It lasts as long as the football.

Speaker 4 (01:17:10):
Right, you would be careful asking that question though?

Speaker 3 (01:17:12):
You really do that? Sen you know what that may say.
I know I acted like I was okay with the
dogs in here, but I'm not. Yeah right, So whatever
time of the hour.

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
This is the Rick Burgers Show.

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
Listen up. You know, like we say, you gotta.

Speaker 2 (01:17:35):
Find broadcasting from the world The Rick Burchers Show.

Speaker 3 (01:17:46):
All right here we go keep it in real every
day here on the program, trying to be sure that
we all can find our feet on solid ground. Yeah, preparing,
having a great time getting updated on what we need. Speedy,
Greg Adler, the gang is all here. If you're willing,
we are. Let's roll through another hour together on the

(01:18:09):
Rick Burgess Show. You ready, let's go. Okay, So as
we start this hour, some of the things on this
particular hour we will go back and revisit because it
was so long ago in real time when we talked
about this. Know that we have covered Jimmy Kimmel going

(01:18:33):
back on the air last night. We have not played
any of the clips. We do have those ad or
has those and be interesting when we do a phone
savement at this hour to get your feedback any of
you who watch or care about this show or even
this story. It's a big story because it's led to

(01:18:55):
a lot of conversations across America about you know, percussions
to things we say involving a private employer versus you know,
public arena and and all of this. But anyway, so
he Kimmel was allowed back on the air by Disney
last night, Adler seven, A and B here, and he

(01:19:17):
did get up and say a few words, and some
people say he didn't go far enough. Some people are saying,
I guess he did what he needed to do. You know,
lots of affiliates, Sinclair and I believe Next Star was
that the other one. They did not clear his show

(01:19:38):
last night. On their affiliates. I think it's about a
third of the one, all the ones that he has,
because they're not they were not satisfied up to this point.
I don't know if this will satisfy them. They were
demanding a public apology. So here's Jimmy Kimmel courtesy of
The Jimmy Kimmel Show, uh and saying that he was
moved watching Erica Kirk a.

Speaker 24 (01:20:00):
Moment over the weekend, A very beautiful moment.

Speaker 3 (01:20:03):
I don't know if you saw this.

Speaker 24 (01:20:04):
On Sunday, Erica Kirk forgave the man who shot her
husband she forgave him. That is an example we should
follow if you believe in the teachings of Jesus as
I do. There it was, that's that's it, a selfless

(01:20:25):
act of grace forgiveness from.

Speaker 3 (01:20:28):
A grieving widow.

Speaker 24 (01:20:30):
It touched me deeply, and I hope.

Speaker 17 (01:20:34):
It it touches money.

Speaker 24 (01:20:38):
And if there's anything we should take from this tragedy
to carry forward, I hope it can be that.

Speaker 3 (01:20:43):
I agree, Yeah, and and and now. Really it really
means a lot watching how Jimmy has, you know, practiced
that in his own life. He's always really forgiving of
those he doesn't agree with. Yes, So let's go to
seven B here, So he now addressed is what he
got in trouble. For now, he does leave out a

(01:21:04):
very important element in the comments that got him in trouble.
But here is sort of an attempt, kinda to apologize
but yet not fully apologize for what he said. So
here we go.

Speaker 24 (01:21:17):
I don't think what I have to say is going
to make much of a difference. If you like me,
you like me. If you don't, you don't. I have
no illusions about changing anyone's mind, But I do want
to make something clear because it's important to me as
a human, and that is you understand that it was
never my intention to.

Speaker 3 (01:21:31):
Make light of the murder of a young man.

Speaker 8 (01:21:35):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:21:40):
I don't think there's only things funny about it.

Speaker 24 (01:21:42):
I posted a message on Instagram and the daves killed,
sending love to his family and asking for compassion, and
I meant it.

Speaker 3 (01:21:49):
I still do.

Speaker 24 (01:21:50):
Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group
for the actions of what it was obviously a deeply
disturbed individual.

Speaker 3 (01:21:58):
That was really the opposite of the point I was
trying to make.

Speaker 24 (01:22:01):
But I understand that to some that felt either ill
timed or unclear, or maybe both. And for those who
think I did point a finger, I get why you're upset.
If the situation was reversed, there was a good chance
I'd have felt the same way.

Speaker 3 (01:22:15):
Well, buddy, well what do y'all think?

Speaker 4 (01:22:17):
But that's what he did, and he did it on purpose.
He clearly said. You're trying to paint this shooter as
anything other than MAGA and one of their own, he
clearly said. And it wasn't like he didn't have time.
It wasn't like this was right after it occurred or
anything like that. He had five days before he made
that comment. He knew what he was doing, he knew
what he was saying, and here he's trying to weasel

(01:22:38):
out of it and say, oh, I'm sorry if some
of y'all thought it was unclear, it wasn't unclear. It
was crystal clear.

Speaker 5 (01:22:44):
That's the classic apology. If you were offended by what
I said, I'm sorry, not just hey, I shouldn't have
said it.

Speaker 3 (01:22:51):
I never should have worded it that way. I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (01:22:53):
I'm at fault, and I apologize to the Kirk family
and everybody that had offended. And instead of going, well,
if you took it that way, I'm sorry. You know
that's kind, right, you know what I mean, it's so.
But what so y'all's.

Speaker 3 (01:23:07):
Problem is that y'all had a real issue with him
saying it was never my intension to blame a group
of people for it, right, But that's exactly what he did, right,
That's what I'm just. I'm clear he's trying to say that.
I know some of you may interpret it that way,
but that wasn't what I was trying to say. And

(01:23:29):
we're saying, but that is what you said, exactly what
you said. There was I mean, how use do so
the better apology would have been, I understand that I
was angry. I understand that I painted this shooter to
be part of MAGA. Obviously that was incorrect and I
should not have done that. My only question call it
a day. That's actually my only question would be where

(01:23:50):
did you get your information that made you have that opinion? Right?
Because it was every it was not a secret and
by that time, right, I'm just curious, was he still
say a lot more offensive things than this? You know? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:24:01):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (01:24:02):
To be honest, I'm just curious now because you knew
you were going to be called on it, where did
you get your info? You must have thought you were right,
because at the time of the taping they knew who
this kid was. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So I
don't know. I don't I'm from the beginning. I've never
understood where he got his information to make that statement,
because it became pretty crystal clear what the shooter's intention

(01:24:23):
was and why the shooter wanted to kill Charlie Kirk.
That really didn't seem like that was a gray area.

Speaker 4 (01:24:30):
No, it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (01:24:31):
He and he comes on the air as if there's
some narrative that might still be there that had already
been refuted.

Speaker 4 (01:24:38):
Here's the here's right, here's the comment just so we're
not twisting his work.

Speaker 24 (01:24:42):
We get some new lows over the weekend with the
Maggi gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered
Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and
everything they can to score political points from it.

Speaker 3 (01:24:56):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (01:24:56):
That's crystal clear. Buddy. You knew what you were doing.
You knew what you were doing, and.

Speaker 3 (01:25:02):
If you don't get in trouble, we don't get this commentary.
Don't you think you're right? So hm hmm. They did
say though, that after once again squalling on the show,
he has been contacted for some reason. He keeps getting
emails from Frank Thomas to call it.

Speaker 12 (01:25:19):
So uh.

Speaker 3 (01:25:20):
But anyway, the that will seekula, that's one of those.
That's what I later I thought at first has something
to be batting. So anyway, I mean, I don't think
this is something it's interesting to talk about, but I
would be shocked if there's that many people, especially in

(01:25:43):
this audience, that give two cents what Jimmy Kimmel thinks
about anything. That's my point to me is it's really
I was just curious something because I'm thinking, surely you
realize that they could dispute your statement immediately. It wasn't
even though it wasn't even profounder really, and like I said,
I've heard him say a lot worse things. Well, you're right,
he really shows a kind of a flaw in his psyche,

(01:26:06):
in his just awareness. I mean of show prep. How
about that? Right, Hey, guys, here's what they're saying. Where
the saying Where was the person that called Jimmy over
Gregg to your point and go, hey jim No one's
saying that. Yeah, it's pretty obvious political time. Yeah, if
you want to, you know, I don't want to know.
Why is this in our script? Yeah? Or maybe he

(01:26:27):
went off the cuff, you know, but because surely there
was somebody if you were sitting in the meeting and
I said a right, guys, here's what I'm going to
say in the open, and uh, we reached some new
lows over the weekend, and one of you would have said, hey, man, look,
I'm with you, I'm anti Trump and all this and
we're all big team here. But no, one has even
remotely suggested he was part of the MAGA group, not
with any sense, not with any sins. Now, we did

(01:26:47):
have the one guy that throughout the theory that one
of Charlie Kirk's supporters actually get that accidentally, and that
was shooting in the air for celebrate.

Speaker 4 (01:26:56):
What right, because this is a West and we do that. Y.

Speaker 3 (01:27:02):
Yeah, it was right out of the gate. I heard it.
I didn't hear it live and on the playback I
came across Charlie Sheen and Joe Rogan, Yes, when they
announced it, and that quick somebody threw out the well,
be somebody shooting the gun and they were one of
the supporters. Rhy, I mean right of the gate. Yeah,
I'm like, I bet Rogan was like, have you lost
your Oh yeah, yeah, it was.

Speaker 4 (01:27:24):
Both of those guys. Rogan's obviously learned leaned a lot
more conservative as the radical left has ran towards the left.
You kind of find yourself, oh now, I'm I have
much more in common with conservatives now. Charlie Sheen obviously
not like an outspoken conservative or anything like that, but
people are just talking about like, okay, they were just
people that got this terrible news and they reacted to

(01:27:45):
it like humans. And that's like, that's like the low
bar that we now have as a society, like are
you sad when people are murdered? You are okay?

Speaker 8 (01:27:53):
Good?

Speaker 4 (01:27:54):
Yeah, we can we can find common ground.

Speaker 3 (01:27:56):
The fact that we have to acknowledge that and.

Speaker 2 (01:27:58):
Look for it.

Speaker 4 (01:27:59):
The Sinclair Star all that controversy. They approached Jimmy and
we're like, hey, buddy, you were out of line.

Speaker 12 (01:28:05):
You lied here.

Speaker 4 (01:28:06):
Can you do anything about that? Can you apologize? And
Jimmy was taking off the air because he was going
to double down. He outwardly said, no, I'm gonna keep
going that direction.

Speaker 2 (01:28:16):

(01:29:54):
find that number by going to Rick burgessshow dot com
under sponsors, and let's get this hassle out of your
life and move on babbel I and be having fun
with the Jimmy Kimble thing too. That I've seen this
headline several times and y'all sent it to us as well.
ABC brings Jimmy Kimble back so they can fire him
for just not being funny. So so like, I haven't

(01:30:19):
seen any of these shows in so long, but I
don't I haven't heard rarely, rarely do I have people
stop me in the hotel. Did you, Jimmy Kimmel did,
It was so funny. Yeah, you know, I'm not saying
it never happens. I'm just I don't hear much of that.
So most people say that he it was kind of
what Johnny Carson warned the late night host about. Like

(01:30:41):
I said a few days ago, he was pressed on
this by Chris Wallace on Sixty Minutes sixty Minutes back
when he was still doing the show, I think he
was in the seventies, and he said, this is a
mistake that he said, if I get out there and
start getting opinionated on politics and all that, the show
will then become that. And I start elevating myself to

(01:31:01):
thinking everybody needs to think the way I think. And uh,
let me let me tell you tonight. I got something
I want to say about this. And he said, I
don't think that's the role of late night entertainment. It's
supposed to be entertaining, and it's supposed to be funny
and and interview interesting people and that kind of stuff.
That's our role. And and you know, you see what

(01:31:23):
it causes because you know, once you start that, then
it kind of I mean, we we had it happen
here to it?

Speaker 2 (01:31:31):
Agree.

Speaker 14 (01:31:32):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:31:32):
You know, back back when we were doing that, I
felt like we got to going down that road toward
the end of the Rick and Bubba Show, and I
was like, Okay, this, this feels like that. This we
do this more than anything else. And and and frankly,
I don't think it's overly enjoyable for for people when
they're you know, watching and listening. I think, you know, hey,
something's happened. Let's all talk about it. I think that's great.

Speaker 8 (01:31:54):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:31:55):
And I have been as guilt guilty of that too,
and I'm enjoying that. We're kind of back to saying
let's just have fun more than anything, and we'll update
you on what's happening. But I certainly don't want to
turn into a twenty four to seven news station because frankly,
I can't even watch that stuff myself anymore. And you
certainly don't want to turn on your late night entertainment
show and be lectured on this stuff or just you know,

(01:32:17):
continue to make these same points over and over and
over and over again. Okay, we had it. Well, I
tell you, every point needs to be made was made
in ten minutes, and it's forty five minutes later, and
we're still talking about it. Sure, and everybody keeps saying
the same thing over And that's what I told Terry
last night. We turned the TV on and I said, hey,
I got to tell you, I've been following news all day.
I really don't want to sit here and news this
again or whatever. So we went to gun Smoke and

(01:32:39):
we enjoyed it. There you go, I don't watch them.
I really don't love that. And if I watch Cowboys, yeah,
but the basic basically it was Mike Wallace. Yeah, Chris
Wallace was his son, Mike Wallace, but Wallace, remember they
used to be do the funny bit. The worst thing
that can happen is look out on your front porch
and Mike Wallace this down there. Oh but but yeah, Now,
when I want to watch the news, honestly, I'll I'll

(01:33:00):
be straight up. I know they're very successful, and more
power to them. When Ted Turner started this twenty four
hour you know, seven days a week news, there's not
enough news. It's crazy repetitive and I don't know that
it calls for twenty four to seven. You know, in
sports is the same way. Let's go to the next show,
and they run down the same highlights and the same stories,

(01:33:22):
because I mean, I don't think enough happens on one
topic to warrant twenty four to seven on one topic.
And so usually what I do if I don't know
what's happened in the world and there's no major story
that I like is breaking news breaking, I'll go on
to a news source and I'll spend It doesn't take long,
about ten minutes, and in the ten minutes, I know

(01:33:45):
everything I need to know, and I turn it off.
And then some days I don't go there because I've
been doing this so I know everything. Yeah, right, That's
kind of what I've told Finger on the I was like, man, yeah,
been in it all day.

Speaker 20 (01:33:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:33:58):
And I think that's I think that's the problem we have.
I think that's a version like why social media can
be so damaging is you just get trapped in this
echo chamber and you get trapped in this world, and
it just it's it's the reason why people are so
depressed and people I think are mentally struggling so much.

(01:34:19):
Is you know, if if you set down and you said,
I you know, I like ice cream and somebody said, okay, Well,
why don't you drink it and eat it for the
next twelve hours? Who I mean, you would go, I
don't need to do that, but yet yet, Well we'll
lock ourselves in these in these echo chambers for hours
and hours and hours on end, when probably we just

(01:34:41):
needed to get a little update. Move on, Yeah, go outside,
let the sunshine on you. Hey, have a laugh or two.
Pick a rock it, yeah, cut up a little bit,
skip a rock you know, I mean, do something touch grass? Yeah,
and uh and and so so yeah, so like that. Yeah,
and we've been guilty of it to we have, but

(01:35:01):
but we've we've we've tried to do a better job
about you know, moving and keeping and going and doing
things like that. So so and and when we do it,
you know, we come back after the show and go, eh,
we probably let we were doing great, we got to
going down that way. But it can happen no matter
what subject. Yeah, so so it can happen. Did you
did you see this Babylon B It's one of the
better ones. Yeah, I did. I think I mentioned I

(01:35:22):
think I mentioned it AOC. Yeah, I think I did AOC.
And I think I was off there. I think we
were just talking Okay, Uh AOC loses debate against cardboard
cutout of Charlie Kirk. That's they don't miss God, they
don't miss good Night. That's a good one. Uh so
so uh yeah, that one. It was one that really

(01:35:43):
really made me laugh when I saw it. We'll be back.
When we come back, we'll continue to move through what's
what's left for today, including all of you out there
who might want to weigh in. And that's always unpredictable,
it's always fun. Sometimes it's odd. That's on screen phone calls,

(01:36:07):
and we'll open up those lines to you when we
come back.

a call. Stepped on one board. She had those bad
step through it. So I googled. I googled and asked

Show on screen phone calls.

Speaker 7 (01:41:06):
Go ahead, Hey, Rick, how are you doing today?

Speaker 3 (01:41:09):
I'm good. I hope you're all right.

Speaker 13 (01:41:11):
Hey, outstanding not too bad for an old fat man.

Speaker 16 (01:41:14):
Hey.

Speaker 13 (01:41:14):
I want to let you and Greg know that after
your father retired from coaching, I had the opportunity to
work with him in the sporting goods business.

Speaker 3 (01:41:22):
Wow boy, and that was a joy.

Speaker 13 (01:41:25):
I loved him to death. I loved Jimma. She was
just such a sweet lady. But I want to tell
you a quick story about your dad. It was right
after he started working for US Alabama Auburn game Dubos
was coaching and they threw a pass late in the game,
the running back fumbled, Auburn recovered kicktill gold Win Boori.

Speaker 3 (01:41:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:41:49):
I asked your dad. I said, Hey, if you was coaching,
what would you do? He said, I ain't sure. I'm
the one you need to ask, because the last coaching
job I had I got my butt fired.

Speaker 3 (01:41:58):
From no doubt. That's it. Well, the first thing that
that was a pretty easy answer for him. One thing
he wouldn't do is throw the balls that'd be called
four to pass, which he was not a big fan of.
Now we continue Rick Birders Show unscreen phone calls go ahead, Hey, Rick.

Speaker 11 (01:42:19):
Hey hadn't been able to listen much today, but caught
a show the other day and y'all was talking about
a lightning strike.

Speaker 3 (01:42:25):
Yep, Yeah, my grandfather.

Speaker 11 (01:42:27):
Was struck by lightning in nineteen thirty seven. They were
plowing outside and they came in the house and he
goes over by the fireplace and puts his foot on
the hearth of the fireplace. Lightning struck that cotton picking
chimney and he fell dead right there in front of everybody.
My grandmother had nine children to raise by yourself in

(01:42:49):
nineteen thirty seven. So the point of the story is
be ready to go because you can go inside or
outside when it comes to lightning.

Speaker 3 (01:42:57):
Thank you for your uplifting story. And uh wow, not
high good happen, that's right down the timing. I'm gonna
take my chances inside better than outside. Sure, thank you
got a better shot if you get but you may not.
Can you know what I will do though, I will
keep my feet off the hearth there during the stormy
Uh We continue Rick birders show.

Hey, Hey, guys, good marning. Hey, he's two quick things. First,
I'm gonna ask are y'all gonna have Brandon Lake on

uh and two, when y'all was talking last week on
the Crackers, I don't know if y'all know this, but
I live next door to a guy who owned a
land route and everything. And the knee cots that y'all

(01:43:43):
were talking about, that actually was a malfunction. The guy
who going have one job was supposed to be spelled token,
and he put it in backwards and they just left
it at that.

Speaker 3 (01:43:55):
You're making that up?

Speaker 17 (01:43:57):
I am not.

Speaker 3 (01:43:59):
Are you like an urban legend? Urban legend?

Speaker 17 (01:44:03):
I'm one hundred serious. That's what my neighbor. I'm pety five,
so I spent a long time. But he told me
that that was why that was failed that.

Speaker 3 (01:44:11):
Way, neighbor, is it probably my granddad? He's messing with you? Yeah?
Uh quick, googles.

Speaker 4 (01:44:17):
Right, he's right. In the early twentieth century, lance added
a twist to the popular cookie called token, and they
called it knee caught instead or token spelled backwards.

Speaker 3 (01:44:27):
But did they do it on purpose? On purpose? That
was on purpose? Okay? This guy said it was a mistake. Okay,
yeah's accident. And then somebody added the mistake to make
it sharp. Yeah, yeah, you know that.

Lord Willing a little bit later on today. So text nation,
it's been. You've got one person in Florida says they
love the Ryder Cup. Oh, there's been more. It's just
it's you know, it's the screen has changed. There's been
so many of them. You see one that says, even
though it's golf, is a chance for America to beat

(01:49:56):
other countries? Show hunt Jack cares about it. That's good.

Speaker 7 (01:50:01):
Do you know?

Speaker 3 (01:50:01):
I will tell you the other countryes thing is never
enough people to try to do that all the time. Well,
you know, no, you wouldn't even go ahead watch soccer.
I mean, of course. I mean we go out there
in the World Cup and be to other countries. Yeah, well,
I mean that doesn't make soccer any more enjoyable, right,
everybody talking about that cross. I don't know why you
keep doing right? I mean that that that's never enough
for me. I mean, I like America. I'm thankful. I'm

(01:50:25):
an America. Nice, I don't I don't worry. I don't
worship America. Is that your mark? I like America. I'd
rather be here you know. But I mean, I'll tell
you some of the things we're allowing to go on
this country right now. Yeah, I mean, we we get
some work to do. Yeah, I mean it's now now.
No God, there's nowhere near each other. So I don't know,
hopefully you're not trying to prepare those two uh huh,

(01:50:48):
I don't know. I hear a golfing song. I thought
you were a little bit. I was saying that people
try to take this country thing to the point that
it's supposed to suddenly make me suddenly like something I
don't like. Yeah, you know, it'd be like, you know,
I mean, so you're not gonna watch the World Cup never, Yeah,
under any circumstance. I can't imagine devoting to you. The

(01:51:09):
World Cup and the Ryder Cup are not the same thing. Okay,
they have Cup in the name, that's about it. But
the Ryder Cup. All I was saying, that's it is
that this is your chance. All the complaints you have
about golf, this would be the only chance that y'all
would watch. Is because the atmosphere and everything's so different.

(01:51:30):
It's in New York, so you got the New Yorkers
and all that it's just going to be it's gonna
be like crazy crash tall. I mean, it'd be like
we played golf and Chiawacers number one where Greg and
I grew up. You'd be dogging you, be hollering at you.
But don't choke. Yeah, so you get to do all
that right, right, But I mean somebodys say, don't choke.

(01:51:52):
Oh yeah, there's all kinds of things. Do you have
to be quiet at all on this format? I don't know.
I mean they'll they'll be. There'll be a little bit
of etiquette, but it's gonna be after every shot. It's
going to be you know, I'll have to be quite
hearing the shot, Rick, I don't know. You just don't
want to tell me.

Speaker 4 (01:52:10):
I'm sure.

Speaker 5 (01:52:11):
I'm sure they'll try it to be. I mean, it's
it's not gonna be like live golf where.

Speaker 3 (01:52:15):
You know in the past question you watch it, don't you.

Speaker 9 (01:52:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:52:18):
I mean they're gonna be cordial and quiet when it's
time to touch or hit. But there'll be some that
that shouts certain things. Can I do this on average?
Can I do this?

Speaker 3 (01:52:29):
Don't europe trash? Yeah? Can I do that?

Speaker 4 (01:52:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:52:32):
Though there'll be a ton of that. I mean, why
he's puttying. No, probably not, he'll hold that paddle up.
That's not how we do its number one. I know,
I get it, I get it. But not everything is
Chehawacre number one, even though it should be.

Speaker 5 (01:52:45):
Maybe Okay, I'm not gonna say, but but I all
I'm saying is for your only chance to watch golf,
this would be it. Okay, okay, And it starts Friday
morning and Fridays.

Speaker 3 (01:52:59):
But you know it's own during football.

Speaker 4 (01:53:01):
It's not.

Speaker 3 (01:53:02):
There's not there's not ball games on Friday morning. Oh yeah,
why I'll be doing the show Friday morning. Right. But
I'm just saying after that in prolong and feel like
I'm being in you coming to taking off? Are you
taking anybody that plays golf? And I do just casually
with my sons and other friends.

Speaker 5 (01:53:22):
It's it's a great leave early trying to take.

Speaker 4 (01:53:25):
Off to Yeah, I'm going to the Ryder Cup.

Speaker 3 (01:53:27):
Uh, it's not a it's not an indictment on anybody
if they want to watch that. You don't still think
golf's a sport. It's an activity, right, yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:53:34):
Skilled activity. Let me ask you something about trash talking
and the crowd. You know what they're supposed to do,
what they're not.

Speaker 3 (01:53:42):
Supposed to do.

Speaker 4 (01:53:43):
People yell after the hit, they'll go, you get in
the hole, which is positive? Can you say like stay
out of the hole.

Speaker 3 (01:53:51):
Like can you you can?

Speaker 4 (01:53:53):
You can yell against them after they hitting?

Speaker 3 (01:53:54):
Oh yeah, all right, Well maybe I'm in Yeah. And
most people that make fun of golf don't play it.
I just bet it would be fun to play if
I any good. Yeah, I never said it wouldn't be
fun to play, huh. I mean probably if.

Speaker 5 (01:54:08):
They would, you wouldn't know what a fun afternoon would
be for me if the four of us went and played, well, see,
that's a lot of fun.

Speaker 3 (01:54:16):
But y'all don't have the patience to learn.

Speaker 5 (01:54:17):
Okay, And y'all aren't that bad because you went out
there and even though you tore your shoulder up, y'all,
y'all went out there and you hit the ball.

Speaker 3 (01:54:23):
Didn't hit the ball. But in all fairness, I mean,
I'm a world class athlete of course, closest wing and
comes top golf. You hit it. That's fun. Could I
show you? Well, I'd love to show you, but you're
asking me to play the golf. Versus watch it. That's different. Yeah,
playing it might you know, national activity, That's what I'm saying.

(01:54:44):
I mean, y'all, could we could get you know, that'd
be fun. And you know, one of the reasons it's
not a sport gives me hope of fat people. Know,
people are still good at it. That's true. I mean,
there's all kinds of things we do that are activities
that are fun. That's not the it's not the Big Three.
Takes a long time though. Yeah, and I really wish y'all,
would I read Would I rather be playing golf or hunting?

(01:55:05):
I'd rather be Yeah, everything doesn't go. Don't have a
Bakers number one time for this. I don't know. If
you're in the morning, well then midday, go heit a
few golf balls and then hunt. I'm just saying that,
wouldn't it be cool to have a foursome and we
like we go out and play. I live in take Adler,
I will play the burgers.

Speaker 4 (01:55:21):
Do you say even take Outler? Why you say even?

Speaker 3 (01:55:23):
And we'll beat the socks off y'all. So you did
say even take out?

Speaker 4 (01:55:27):
Well, why you say that?

Speaker 3 (01:55:28):
I mean I would be honored to take Adler? Well,
you ain't got some clubs from when j C was like, ten,
can you I do have a kids at some yellows?
Actually River uses those.

Speaker 4 (01:55:39):
Don't don't do that.

Speaker 3 (01:55:42):
Don't do that.

Speaker 4 (01:55:43):
I wasn't making fun of golf. It was the guys
next to you.

Speaker 3 (01:55:46):
Okay. By the way, Speedy got mad about Gray. We

their own apps as well. So, however, you're here, we're
glad that you are here. We're going to start the
hour by jumping in to some emails.

Speaker 20 (01:57:27):
Hey, here we go, here we go, here we go.

Speaker 3 (01:57:36):
We were discussing something like this just in the break,
Hey bird, Hey Burge. I would have appreciated a heads up.
Apparently Greg came to our church this weekend. Well Greg,
I didn't know that. I'm not sure. He said. I
was serving on the usher team. It was the morning
service after we took attendance and the pastors start on

(01:57:56):
the sermon. Coffee kind of caused me to have to
run to the restroom real quick. Another usher apparently had
the same call. He got to the urinal before me,
so I went into the stall only to find that,
believe it or not, someone had left too soaky, you know,

(01:58:18):
he says, He says, Hey, Birch, who does that at church?

Speaker 7 (01:58:24):
Shirt?

Speaker 3 (01:58:25):
What he got a sick twisted.

Speaker 4 (01:58:30):
At church, a double soaking church.

Speaker 3 (01:58:34):
No way he was expecting that. I bet he he
fell down.

Speaker 9 (01:58:40):
Church.

Speaker 3 (01:58:41):
That's bold right now. I don't know. Maybe somebody would
say for their Sunday school class and they didn't. Maybe
wasn't on purpose, on purpose? Well, dropping gold? I mean,
but that's a good coming home, Gregor church all. Can
you believe he sent that to the email? That's by
the way, that's the fruit of you. Okay, funny, Hey bird,

(01:59:04):
hay birds don't need to do that. Sure, yeah, let's
let's don't do Hey bird, hay Birds must be non denominational. Uh,
I heard you mentioned Bad Bunny performing at the Super
Bowl in February. Apparently the halftime show could possibly include
a drag queen show. In fact, Bad Bunny maw so
be a drag queen. Really have you covered this?

Speaker 22 (01:59:26):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:59:27):
When he said, but I didn't hear the full story.
And then the more I've I've looked, apparently Bad Bunny
is known to dress in drag. Has the NFL lost
all sense of decency? God, please help our country and
our kids. I mean, And I saw Jason Whitlock. He
was going off about on Blaze TV. He was saying

(01:59:51):
what in the world I didn't know that, I had
no idea of, Like, I've never even heard of bad Bunny, don't,
don't have any desire to know anything about bad money. Won't,
won't watch that. Here's here's Babylon b NFL hoping to
win back Conservatives with Super Bowl performance by Spanish speaking
man in address who's in charge? I don't know. I

(02:00:13):
can't understand. I get maybe it's hard to some of
the bigger names don't want to deal with it and
all that, but I mean, Casey in the Sunshine Man
are still out there. We've seen the video and I
would like to see fat Casey.

Speaker 4 (02:00:24):
Guys.

Speaker 3 (02:00:25):
I'm so greg that is as opposed to this, and
we know as we talked about it yesterday. We talked
about his you know, anti Trump stance and stuff, but
I didn't know lyrically some of the stuff that he's saying.

Speaker 4 (02:00:39):
Huge.

Speaker 5 (02:00:40):
Oh yeah, we talked about that he's the largest, I mean,
the biggest Latin rapper of all times. Yes, but still
I don't I don't understand the decision making here.

Speaker 3 (02:00:53):
The IF, the NFL, And again I'm telling you guys this,
this is the same thing that we have covered over
and over again. It's why we adopted broadcasting from the
real world. Once again. I don't know how these marketing
people keep getting in front of the decision makers and
selling them that they're marketing to a world that just

(02:01:15):
it does not it exists, but it doesn't exist in
a macro. It's not a giant audience. And because they're loud,
and because they make demands, and and this this obsession
we have with with trends and with with with drag queens,
and it's just weird. Can I just say it's it's

(02:01:36):
it's look, it's been around, but our obsession with it
is what's so weird. We've lost all sense of So
you're sitting there going, hey, you know some of the stuff,
some of the woke stuff we've done is the NFL.
I mean, we have people in our audience that give
us a hard time for even mentioning it. Yeah, okay,
they are so they are so done with it and
they can't imagine. And so you're sitting there going, hey,

(02:01:59):
we need to bring these people go back. Somebody says, well,
here's what we could do. Well, we could do a
halftime show that features a guy that dresses in drag
and maybe he'll come out there in part of his show,
maybe even have drag queens, and if we're fortunate, he'll
wear a dress. Can you imagine? Do you not know
your audience at all? I mean here, and this is

(02:02:19):
what Windlow was so mad about. You try to sit down,
like you said about the male cheerleader dancers. Yeah, this
is you try to sit down. This used to be
something that Americans did in our culture. You had daddy's
and their sons and they sat down and they watched
them football together. And now we got to sit down
and be exposed to all this garbage and we can

(02:02:40):
just say no and not do it at all, which
I don't. I Like, I say, there's one NFL game
I watch a year, and that's the super Bowl. But
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna deal with this. I
mean I'm not. There just comes a time where you
just go this is not the real world. This is absurd.
Who makes this decision? Because I if I'm sitting there

(02:03:01):
and I'm an advertiser and I am a money making
professional sports league, that's what I want to do. I
want the biggest audience I can possibly have. And we've
said this a thousand times. There are people who say,
I wish we'd have a drag queen show at halftime.
They're not a big audience. They're going to watch the
Super Bowl even if you had, you know, if you

(02:03:23):
brought out there and did something, George straight, Okay, Greg,
there you go, George Strait's doing halftime for us. The
drag queen people would go, that's not really my thing.
But they're still watching the game. But let me tell
you how many people won't watch. And Wi'll get mad
if you put a drag queen show up a lot.
You've offended the biggest audience while trying to cater to
the smallest audience, which would have been fine if you

(02:03:46):
just didn't do anything, just keep it blend, just make
it football and make it some music at halftime. My goodness,
maybe we need to go back to up with people something.
I mean, we've completely I don't understand the mindset of
how stupid the marketing is from the NFL. They're just stupid.

(02:04:06):
It's like they can't get out of their own way.

Speaker 5 (02:04:08):
I know, I agree, I just don't understand. It seems
like it seems like it's almost like, you know, the
highest gross grossing movies are these family movies that are
that are nice, wholesome movies, and they always they always
gross the most money. You know, Hollywood never has understood that,

(02:04:29):
so they try to get crazier and crazier and then
they keep, you know, just crashing at the box office.
The NFL, it seems like they would want to embrace
the family and go, hey, we need to really figure
this out and embrace the family. So let's have a
halftime show that everybody can enjoy, well, I think, and
bring everybody in. Instead, you got this this this rapper

(02:04:51):
that is just vulgar. His lyrics, guys, I could read
you some lyrics and it's not good. Well, so that's
just what he's going to be singing.

Speaker 3 (02:04:57):
Huh. Text Nation said this ma.

Speaker 4 (02:05:00):
And it's in Spanish, so we won't know that's true.

Speaker 3 (02:05:03):
Well, here's the thing they're saying. If you notice the
NFL is trying to establish a solid international audience. He's
he's gigantic internationally. So but still if you go get
an international audience by by bringing something like this to
halftime and you lose a lot of your American audience,

(02:05:25):
are we saying internationally, people, people in the international people
desire drag queens. I mean, can't we have an international
artist that just doesn't have lewd lyrics and dressed like
a woman, yeah, and then have other God, there's no
telling what that halftime show is going to be like.
And and maybe they're wise enough not to do all
those things in the actual halftime show. But I didn't

(02:05:48):
know about all that. I hadn't Alex. I've never heard
of this person. I don't have any desire to know
anything about this person. And this constantly being bombarded by
this one theme of you know, sexually confused men uh
and and and you know, drag queens. I'm just done
with it, and I don't understand it. I don't know

(02:06:10):
why any when it became mad, and why this audience
has suddenly, you know, whatever, their demands must always be
met and catered to. I'm just done with it. And
the NFL does not mean much to my life already,
so me to not be interested in it. It's not
even a sacrifice, yeah, I mean, it doesn't it. It's

(02:06:32):
not even a part, big part of my life at all.
So I don't understand it. I really don't, so uh,
we'll be back. Yeah. You know that's not brilliant when
people are talking about you and they're saying negative things
that that's actually not Why is this is.

Speaker 2 (02:06:50):

world's desperately meaning, The Wick Burgess Show.

Speaker 4 (02:09:13):
The day after, everyone will say it was bad.

Speaker 3 (02:09:17):
There we go. You know, it's jay Z's bunch has
been booking these things. It's twenty nineteen Rock Nation. Well
we'll see, all right, Trump, big, big, big victory fro
Trump here. Trump, you know has been these defamation lawsuits
and stuff with you know, him being banned and and

(02:09:37):
all this off different social media platforms. So yeah, it
looks like YouTube is going to have to give Trump
twenty four point five million dollars. Hello, they suspended his
his account and he he went after them on that,
and he's now won twenty four point five million dollars

(02:09:58):
from YouTube over that suspend, you know, his account following
the Capitol riots in twenty twenty one. And apparently, uh,
this looks like when the case was heard that that
Trump had been deplatformed unfairly. Wow, how about that? You

(02:10:19):
know he's he's already got a settlement earlier this year
from X around ten million. Uh. And so in the
paramount plus CBS that beta beta twenty five million with meta,
So he's he's racking up random a little source. Now,
was that a real story? Because you know, you never
know what's real and what's not real is that now

(02:10:40):
Charlie Kirk's widow is going after the View. Oh really,
that she's tired of some of the things that they
continue to say about about her husband and now she
is take action against them. I saw something about that.
But then you go, okay, is that I know that real?
Through it? Yeah? So any way, so that's that. That

(02:11:02):
is a story today. And the other story it.

Speaker 4 (02:11:04):
Is across social media. I don't I haven't seen anybody
confirm that in the press, okay, but it is going
very viral on social media. But the press are saying,
we can't confirm it.

Speaker 3 (02:11:17):
Yeah okay, and I'm seeing forty million, but I can't come.

Speaker 4 (02:11:20):
Yeah, that forty million number. Anytime you see that, that
is probably going to be fake.

Speaker 3 (02:11:25):
Oh really from Yeah, so what there's forty being out
there always being fake?

Speaker 4 (02:11:31):
Because that that's kind of the story that's getting legs
and keeping going.

Speaker 5 (02:11:34):
Oh I see what you Okay, So it looks like
a satire website started the rumor and they're saying, here
there's a story saying no, she did not file a
forty million dollar defamation lawsuit against ABC in the View. Yeah,
because Honestly, I don't watch the view, but true, not true?

(02:11:55):
Right after all that I never heard them.

Speaker 3 (02:11:57):
Say anything that would have reached that kind of response, right.
You know. Jd Vance is letting us all know. And
I see this on text Nation today because some of
you will be affected that that work for the federal government,
and we certainly have sympathy for your situation that the
government will will likely head into a shutdown because the

(02:12:21):
more they keep meeting with the Democrats, it doesn't seem
and this thing has been you know, we've all been
through administrations in Congress and administrations in this government shutdown
battle that always turns into this power play of people
trying to get what they want. And and I hate

(02:12:42):
that some of you get caught in the middle of
all this garbage. But one of the things that the
Democrats seem unwilling to let go is medical care for
illegal people in our country. And one point five trillion. Yeah,
so we're talking about a lot of money for people

(02:13:06):
that are not legally in our country, providing something for
them when they are not citizens of our country. And
then are the citizens of the country actually having to
come up with the one point five trillion for them,
and that that's really not the role of the government.
And you know, when I was talking with the guy

(02:13:27):
who was playing James Madison, you might remember James Madison
was one of the first ones to stand up when
we had French people fleeing that revolution and coming seeking
refuge in our country, and people started saying we need
to give them stuff, and James Madison said, well, bo,
that's for private citizens and for the church to do it.

(02:13:50):
Is not the government's role to get involved in benevolence.
That's not what tax payer money is for. Private citizens
in the church are supposed to handle benevolence, not the government.
And once we stopped and let that standard go, it
just turned into a mess. So that's that's one of
the things that the Democrats are not willing to let
that go. And once again, and we've seen this on

(02:14:12):
both sides, we the people get caught in the middle
of political play. This is nothing but Democrats trying to
get people upset with the administration hoping it might help
them in the next election. And so now will they
will they pull off the pr battle that you should

(02:14:34):
be mad at the Trump administration, not them. I don't know,
you know, We've seen that go different ways in the
past on government shut downs. Sometimes administration is made to
look bad. Other times Congress has made to look bad.
So who will win the PR battle? Because that's all
this is. We'll be right back to that. Ques.

Speaker 2 (02:14:53):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. Drink Buzzbox the world's
best coffee Now by going to Burgessministries dot Com, ten
percent of each order goes to the Roner Burgess Memorial Fund.

(02:15:14):
Buzzbox Coffee make a difference, one cup at a time.

Speaker 3 (02:15:19):
All right, So looking at text Nation, here's the research.
Since two thousand, there have been four shutdowns of the government.
On average, last thing about thirteen days. The longest was
twenty eighteen nineteen, lasting thirty four days, and the stock
market went up nine point three percent. So there you go.

(02:15:39):
We'll see what goes on. Like I say, you're just
caught in the middle of some PR political play and
I know that's sad but true. A couple of things.
So we did have some you know, NFL football last night.
Not sure what kind of uniform the Dolphins are wearing.
I asked Ryan Greenwood about that. He said he thought

(02:16:00):
they were horrible. But this tyreq Hill thing that everybody's
talking about. He he gets a horrible knee injury, right,
and I don't know that. I want to look at it.

Speaker 8 (02:16:12):
Here it is.

Speaker 4 (02:16:16):
The catch tackle on the sideline.

Speaker 3 (02:16:19):
He keeps, he keeps his foot. I'm not watching it.
So when when he was carted off the field, it
shouldn't been there, and here it is, should not be
in that way. When when he got carted off the field,
all of a sudden, he started. He seemed happy and

(02:16:42):
and many people were like, he's so thankful he didn't
have to play anymore this year for the Dolphins. Yes,
I mean, is that what this is? I know they
won last night, but the crowd is cheering for him.
But watch this right here. Yeah, look he's just.

Speaker 4 (02:16:53):
It's literally his hands up in there.

Speaker 3 (02:16:54):
He's smiling, he's waving at least blowing kisses exactly.

Speaker 4 (02:16:59):
I mean, was he saying thanks to the crowd, or
was saying I don't have to catch anymore.

Speaker 3 (02:17:04):
Look, I don't have practice Monday. I mean, look at him,
it's here, he's what is this? He had to remain
in the hospital every night, said he's upbeat. I think
he's glad he didn't have to play anymore this year. Yeah.
Look they're calling it a dislocated nee.

Speaker 4 (02:17:24):
Come right outside and uh.

Speaker 3 (02:17:26):
They're looking at torn ligaments and.

Speaker 4 (02:17:29):
You know, say it's supposed to point at like noon,
it was like six forty five.

Speaker 3 (02:17:35):
Oh come on, yeah, come right out of there. There
my goodness to take me up and went back again. Yeah, goodness,
that's it. That's term rights. Uh so so we that's
that's one story uh today, And so that that everybody's
just kind of really confused on the you know, was

(02:17:59):
he why is he like celebrating in pointing And you
usually see a player who's out for the season their
heads down, they can't believe their season is over. Yeah,
he just didn't seem to have that attitude. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:18:10):
I think that when you're ohing three and you're guaranteed
seventy two million and you don't have to play the
rest of the year with tua like this meme says,
I think that's why you celebrate.

Speaker 3 (02:18:19):
Oh my, that's funny. Yeah. Plus they plus people are
saying also they might have given him something for pain,
a shot or something on the sideline. Who might be
it might be like this is also remember both when
both training staffs come to your aid. It's not good.

Speaker 14 (02:18:35):
No.

Speaker 3 (02:18:36):
I remember the woman that sued him because he was
doing tackling drills with Yes, I bet she was grinted
when this happened, right because he took her knee out. Yes,
he did, which is really weird. That's a weird story.
Weird of his house. Yeah, I get off. Lie. Yeah,
I remember doing I was having how do I word this?

(02:19:00):
I had to have surgery once in a very oh
gentle and it's when you tried to do the thing. Now,
this is when I when when I had I had
a part of the very private part of my body
that needed attention. Yeah, nickname lefty and so uh so anyway,

(02:19:25):
and and and I was, I was, I was in
the hospital, and you're just you're just kind of not
you're not digging the thought of it all. Okay, But
it's amazing what the drugs they give you, you know,
like I said, I don't I've never really understood the

(02:19:47):
addiction people have to some drugs. Addiction to the kind
of drugs that get you ready for surgery or get
you over surgery. I understand that that those can have
some some I mean, because I mean it's almost like
You're like you don't. So I'm I'm just saying, do
whatever you need. Yeah, I'm there, and I'm I'm almost
like ready to run out of the hospital, you know.

(02:20:08):
I'm like I can't. And sure he's like, just speak calm,
it's not it's not gonna. I mean, I'm like, you
don't know what you doing. And then of course never
tell a woman when it comes to private areas that
that that that we that they don't understand. And also
you get a speech of all they go through and
I get and you're like, hey, I'm sorry I brought
it up. So uh So, anyway, the guy comes in

(02:20:31):
and he goes, all right, we're gonna get something start
make you feel a little bit better, you know, just
relax you a little bit. And I'm like, okay, sounds good.
So they put a little something in there, and all
of a sudden, the next person comes in, I mean,
he comes back in and he says, you are to
be feeling pretty good right now, mister Burgess, and I'm like, now,
still terrified of having this work done. He goes, so
you don't feel anything I said, I do not. He goes,

(02:20:54):
all right, well, let me go talk to whatever. So
when he does that, all of a sudden, another nurse
comes in, looks over and I look, and she goes,
what are you doing? She goes, well, I'm gonna a
little something to make him relax. And she's go did
you talk to the other person? And she's She goes
and uh, well, has he had something? And she's like yes,
and she goes, no danger at all, You're fine. I

(02:21:16):
got news for you. You're You're not You're about to
not care what we do. And all of a sudden,
it's like it started at the top of my hairline
and it began to come over my body, soothing me,
as if the hand of God had touched me and
just said, everything's all right bird, and I, for just
a brief I felt like I thought, well, as people

(02:21:38):
unfortunately say when it comes to drug addiction, I don't
mean to make light of it, but in this case,
I am. You go, this is the way I've always
wanted to feel. You know, now, you couldn't you couldn't
be very productive, okay, But I'm just talking about in
that moment, I wouldn't. I wouldn't care if they were
going to come in and work on both of them.
You know what I mean. And and so I'm like,

(02:21:58):
when we're gonna get started, And so I'm sitting there
and share it again. So now I become the happy
patient that's getting on everybody's nerves. And sure he's sure
he was doing that. Hey, hey, just calm down. Hey,
I feel great now, I'm good. Okay, babe, you said
that you're good. Hey, they got Hey, I'm good. And
she's like, it's fine. And then she says, they come

(02:22:20):
to get me. And she says, for some reason, you
started getting obsessed with giving me a thumbs up. I
kept giving her thumbs up. She goes, Okay, I'm okay, baby,
I'm fine. Don't worry about me. She goes, okay, okay,
and then she said, you went two thumbs up. She goes,
they're literally rolling the gurney away and you're coming over
the back person. I see two thumbs up over their shoulder,

(02:22:41):
and I'm like, I see you. You're good, baby, I'm fine.
Don't worry about me. I love you, I loved you.
I love her so much. Tell her I'm gonna be okay,
and she's like, I got it. Just please be quiet.
Thumbs up. Yeah, And and so then all of a sudden,
you know, you go in there and everybody's like trying,
and you don't even care. It's fine whatever you do,

(02:23:04):
mister burgess, because you we didn't want you to take
all your clothes off. Now, yeah, I'm ready, mister, please
cover yourself just a little bit. You know, I'm not
taking it and throw it off. I can get out
of bed. I mean, there they.

Speaker 4 (02:23:16):
Are, go at it and you have your fun, and.

Speaker 3 (02:23:23):
So then have your fun. Go ahead, whatever you have
to do. What do you think's wrong with it? You
know I'm doing all that? Or look at that? Look
at it. Wow, it's worse than I thought. Both of these.
Should anybody have a mirror one that you don't care

(02:23:43):
what happens to it, you know? And so that that
was I didn't I didn't care at all. I really
didn't know, if you remember. And that was the one
where I kept annoying the surgeon to the point that
he said, he literally said, I regret giving you my
cell phone because when I was been a people say
that when I when I was, when I was recovering,
I can't checking with him saying we're still and you

(02:24:05):

hanging out with some dude.

Yeah, but it was a weak car bed.

Speaker 2 (02:24:55):
This is the Rick Burgess show. Strange Encounters, the new
podcast from Brick Clerges. Get it now wherever you get podcasts.

Speaker 3 (02:25:19):
So after a week off, Strange Encounters back this weekend.
So look for episode sixteen wherever you get podcasts, coming
out this weekend. Okay, So Adler is back and that's
one of the reasons that we were we didn't do
a Strange Encounters this weekend. Adler and I both had

(02:25:39):
an active weekend coming up. We had a lot going on,
and so we took a week off, but it's back
this week. But Adler is back.

Speaker 4 (02:25:47):
How was your trip, buddy, Guys, guys, guys, thank y'all
again for covering giving me the time. Really nice, really
really great. Well, this is, first of all, thank you.
This is the beauty.

Speaker 3 (02:25:58):
This is the beauty of four men against the world.
That's right. You know, we look out for each other
and we make things happen, and we try to give
ourselves some risk and and be there for important engagements.
And this was an important engagement that you needed to
go to and for your friend, and we're glad you
got to.

Speaker 4 (02:26:15):
Yeah, it was great. And this is kind of a sidebar,
but I appreciate y'all kind of being incognito about it.
I don't really like the world knowing when I'm gone,
you know what I'm saying. So that's why I don't.
I don't post really on social media about it and
all that stuff. It's a weird time, and it's it's
just a weird. But the plan was me and a

(02:26:37):
bunch of dudes going out to the boys going out
to La La La Land, Dirty Boy, Dirty Dirty and
the boys heading out to La la Land and buddy
of mine. It was more of like an informal wedding party.
It wasn't like an actual wedding Like there was football
on in the background at this gathering. So that was

(02:26:58):
that was great. I didn't have to go to like
sit and wedding wed style. No, it was a wedding party.

Speaker 3 (02:27:05):
Wait a minute, were there already? Okay?

Speaker 4 (02:27:10):
Yeah, So the plan was Friday, we fly Ino, go
to Yes, Friday, we fly in, get there in time,
and I wanted to miss as little work as possible.
I wanted to be gone for my family as little
as possible. I'm in a weird spot.

Speaker 3 (02:27:26):
Now when I went all the way to Los Angeles.

Speaker 4 (02:27:29):
Well, that's why I worked Friday morning because there was
a there was an earlier flight Friday I could have gotten,
but I needed to be here to do things, set
up things to kind of let it roll through through
Friday and Monday. So you guys know, I left work,
went straight to the airport, rode my skateboard all the
way up to the security line. Because the skateboard I've

(02:27:49):
had for like almost ten years, this electric skateboard that
you guys know about, Yeah, I've had it for about
ten years now, and it was actually specifically made to
be able to fly. The TSA FAA limit is like
one hundred milliamp hours and they literally built it at
ninety nine so that it's under the TSA FAA limit
of what kind of batteries are allowed to have, so

(02:28:12):
that I can bring it, I can fly through airports.
Get up, I mean it's it's awesome, it's fantastic. I'm
raising I've fly flown with it like dozens of times.

Speaker 3 (02:28:22):
I'm raising my hand. Yeah. So you want to take
the skateboard? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't just want to
just just get out and walk with everybody else.

Speaker 4 (02:28:29):
Well, see, I go out and do my own thing.
I go cruising. I hit the town every time. With
this skateboard. I then can go see the town. And
I've done that. I've done that in tons and tons
of places.

Speaker 3 (02:28:41):
What do you do with it? When you're on the plane?
Where do you store it?

Speaker 4 (02:28:44):
It can go in the overhead and my bag is
small so that I'm really only taking up one bag slot.
I just backpack only. I'm a single guy, backpack only.
And I even have a fan in there, like an
emotional support fan. Yeah. Yes, my wife calls it my
My wife calls it my emotional thing carried around. Yes

(02:29:06):
on the trip. Yes, yes, right in there California, they
don't have they don't have fans, don't they don't have
fans in California. You just open the windows. Yes, I
saw one mosquito. We had the windows open all all
weekend long.

Speaker 3 (02:29:22):
One.

Speaker 4 (02:29:22):
I saw the mosquito temperature perfect, like it was seventy
the whole time.

Speaker 3 (02:29:27):
Okay, because my son is doing a million dollar quartet
again in Ventura, California, and I'll look at I looked
at it was seventy degrees where he Wasn't that I
wanted to be where he was.

Speaker 4 (02:29:38):
It's like, you don't need in California the sweater. You
need a three quarter length sleeve on and you're you're great.
It was fantastic.

Speaker 3 (02:29:44):
Back to skateboard one.

Speaker 4 (02:29:46):
Yes, yes, because that's a big part of the story.

Speaker 3 (02:29:48):
People on the plane do they look at you weird
when you put it up in the top.

Speaker 4 (02:29:52):
I get nods from kids, nice bro I'm like, thanks,
I'm forty appreciate it.

Speaker 9 (02:29:57):
I'm a cool dad.

Speaker 4 (02:29:58):
I'm not a regular dad. I'm a cool Well you
had that at the hair.

Speaker 3 (02:30:01):
Yes, So when you check through TSA, they had a fan,
not a fan. I'm sure they're like, why does this
guy have a fan?

Speaker 4 (02:30:09):
You disconnect the batteries and all that so that they're.

Speaker 3 (02:30:12):
In a skateboard.

Speaker 4 (02:30:13):
Yes, okay, And I think I'm cool. I like that
guy knows how to travel.

Speaker 3 (02:30:16):
I'm like, yes, so the fans for when you're like sleeping, yes, yes,
every time I sleep with the skateboard.

Speaker 4 (02:30:23):
I sleep. That's my pillow, yes on it we got.
But so that that all goes.

Speaker 24 (02:30:30):
Good.

Speaker 4 (02:30:31):
Flight out of Birmingham, great. My layover is in Las Vegas.

Speaker 3 (02:30:35):
Oh nice?

Speaker 4 (02:30:36):
I have I have about city? I have about I
think it's supposed to be an hour, right in an hour?
That's great, And skateboard we land. We land in Vegas
and there's a little little delay on the on the
plane on the plane and we're like, okay, that's fine.
It's it's forty five minutes. It's fine. Let's go eat lunch.

Speaker 3 (02:30:58):
You got time for that.

Speaker 4 (02:30:58):
So me and the guys we go eight lunch and
then we get in another text. Okay, another hour, all right,
that's fine. We've actually allotted like a five six hour
cushion to get to this concert because going to a
concert Friday night, Yes, at the famous Hollywood Bowl. You guys,

(02:31:22):
I actually got the tickets to this because the guys
that I'm going with we're all turning forty. It's it's
we've been planning this for like nine months and it
all worked out. Wedding party. So it's football wedding party.
And then on Sunday we're actually going to a football game.
Nice Rams game. Yeah, I didn't know. Well, I don't

(02:31:42):
like to talk about it because I don't like people
knowing when I'm out of town, so us like to
free even know, blab about it. Y'all, y'all, y'all.

Speaker 3 (02:31:50):
Get on there. There's the Rams will be there on Sunday.
That's what you. Bunny pretty good.

Speaker 4 (02:31:59):
Bunny was great and so actually, uh in I'm in
Las Vegas Airport.

Speaker 3 (02:32:04):
So this this delay is creeping up the concert.

Speaker 4 (02:32:08):
We're now looking like, okay, it's gonna be a little
tight getting because we initially wanted to go. Uh there's
a hike right by the venue called Bryson Bryson Trail.
You can hike up this thing and you can see
the entire downtown. You can see the Hollywood Sign from there.
I actually bought our tickets so that in our seats
in the Hollywood Ball, this gigantic thing, we could see

(02:32:28):
the Hollywood Sign. Uh through through the hills there. There's
because there's certain seats where you can see the Hollywood Sign.
They're up in the nosebleeds, which worked great too. I
just wanted to see the venue, wanted to see the area.
I really didn't even care about the artist.

Speaker 3 (02:32:40):
That's where was that on that special see?

Speaker 4 (02:32:43):
That would have been a lot better. And you saw
the band I was supposed to supposed to was this.
It's it's like an old school low five dance music
called LCD sound System. Hipsters love them. Hipster's really like them.
They're honestly a little bit too hip for me. They're

(02:33:05):
even a little bit too hip for me because like,
you know the history of the venue and like, oh
it's a big group, this will be funny.

Speaker 3 (02:33:11):
It's LSD.

Speaker 4 (02:33:12):
What it's not LSD, my goodness, l c D a
type of display. That's a type of display. What you
said is something else?

Speaker 3 (02:33:22):
I didn't know.

Speaker 4 (02:33:22):
Okay, all right, So one hour at a time, they
keep backing us. I don't know if you have been
to the Las Vegas Airport before. It is the worst
airport in the country. Really, It's like they designed it
so that you can't look out and free and be
free and feel good about your life in any way.
The whole airport is filled with either no no one

(02:33:46):
is happy in the Las Vegas because they've either destroyed
their lives because of their gambling problem. Or they can't
wait and they gotta go game. We gotta go game,
We gotta go gamble that, or you know, exotic dancers
heading home and playing how they're making money. You know,
I've got an administrative assistant job.

Speaker 3 (02:34:04):
Do you do you chair?

Speaker 4 (02:34:07):
Do you do your chair?

Speaker 9 (02:34:09):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (02:34:10):
It's it's an odd place, guys. It is very dystopian
being in the Las Vegas Airport.

Speaker 3 (02:34:16):
So you're just sitting in there rot.

Speaker 4 (02:34:18):
They kept pushing it back.

Speaker 3 (02:34:20):
Oh, don't get me started.

Speaker 4 (02:34:23):
Y'all want to know how long I was stuck in
that airport? Nine hours?

Speaker 3 (02:34:27):
That's not true.

Speaker 4 (02:34:28):
What nine hours? What nine hours? I was stuck in
the Las Vegas airport?

Speaker 3 (02:34:34):
Hours?

Speaker 4 (02:34:35):
Missed the concert? Oh yeah, miss totally missed.

Speaker 3 (02:34:38):
I got home.

Speaker 4 (02:34:39):
It's not it's.

Speaker 2 (02:34:43):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 9 (02:35:00):
Say as.

Speaker 4 (02:35:05):
You gotta find us.

Speaker 2 (02:35:10):
The voice of reason in an unreasonable world. The Rick
Burgess Show.

Speaker 3 (02:35:16):
Thank you for being with us America, and we have
much to do Sweedie Ring and Handler are here. We
also announced that two Man Church conferences next year in
January Birmingham, Alabama, Starvil, Mississippi. Those tickets went on sale today.
You can find them at Rick Burgessshow dot com or

(02:35:37):
Themanchurch dot com. Draft the tickets. We'll see you next year.
Adler is in the middle of a story. He traveled
with some of his guy friends to a wedding party
out in Los Angeles. They had big plans go to
the Hollywood Bowl, go see a concert, do a little hike,

(02:36:01):
spend some time together as dudes. And you know, when
you have a tight window like this, God forbid that
the airline ticket that you paid for actually gets you
where you're going, somewhere close to the time. And of
course it couldn't happen in a better place. The wonderful,
the wonderful atmosphere of the Las Vegas Airport. It's almost

(02:36:22):
like someone's put you there to test your willingness to
continue to use airports. Yes, I mean it is a
horrible miserable place, and they start the world famous commercial
airline delay you an hour, delay you another hour, delay
you another hour, and adler you totis going to the break.
They delayed you nine hours.

Speaker 4 (02:36:44):
Yeah, just nine. It wasn't ten.

Speaker 3 (02:36:46):
And a car ride to Los Angeles from Vegas is
how long?

Speaker 4 (02:36:51):
I think it's around four hours something like that, you know. So, yeah,
we're driven there and back, could have driven their back
caught the concert. But they don't tell you when when
it's one o'clock, when it's one pm. They don't tell you, hey,
we're going to delay you for nine hours. They just
did just kind of rain drop you, one little drip
drop at a time. Torture, yes, like Chinese water torture,

(02:37:13):
no pun intended. Weather was the problem, right, you're connecting
flight from the other city. My luck is it rains
in Phoenix and a little bit in Las Vegas. But Phoenix,
I understand, was a problem because it wasn't that rainy
in Vegas. I'm looking out the window. I'm like, I
can see the desert, I can see the sun. Yes,
my luck is that it rained in the desert once
a year, and I caught that day.

Speaker 11 (02:37:34):
Did you?

Speaker 3 (02:37:34):
Of course? I don't know how rain stops to fly.
But did you did you overcome rain? Yeah, I've phoned
in rain. Did you or anyone in your group, be honest,
start thinking you could have something?

Speaker 4 (02:37:48):
Oh, we think we think we're good. Yes, we think
we're fine, and then we're like, oh, okay, And that's
the first mistake there that slowly dwindles away.

Speaker 3 (02:37:56):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (02:37:56):
And I got an email from somebody saying, Hey, the
Vegas airport is great. You can look out, you can
see them working on your plane and all this stuff.
The Las Vegas Airport is not good. Every single hall
is skinny.

Speaker 8 (02:38:09):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (02:38:09):
There's there's slot machines in the airport for some reason,
and if you don't like slot machines, there's nothing else
for you. There are surprisingly few windows where you can
actually see out.

Speaker 3 (02:38:23):
Yeah, I don't want you to know what time it is.
And we're trapping that gambling.

Speaker 4 (02:38:26):
World, right, It was yeah to me. Every and I
was always trapped in like you know, they'll be like
your gate's this a gate change or whatever, so you
kind of have to stay in the sea area. I
was in the sea area for nine hours, y'all. The
very first time we went from one side of the
air the Vegas Airport to the other. I've got my skateboard,

(02:38:46):
so I'm I'm I'm flying.

Speaker 3 (02:38:48):
I'm like, yeah, we go on to the next plane.

Speaker 4 (02:38:51):
Yeah, I didn't know that I was going to have
nine hours to do that. Like the tenth time, I yeah,
the tenth time I'm skating around the airport, I'm like,
this isn't as fun anymore?

Speaker 3 (02:39:02):
Are there places there? I mean kind of variety of
something to eat?

Speaker 4 (02:39:07):
We ate lunch there and we were joking, ha ha ha.
The only one meal in this airport today, guys. Somebody
said that at the it was Joe C. Jose should
not have said that, because we definitely ate dinner at
the airport.

Speaker 3 (02:39:22):
Is Joe C his name or is it Joe and
then C is last name? Because you got to jokes, you.

Speaker 4 (02:39:26):
Know how it works. And we all got nicknames like
bone Yoda, I'm Yoda, so it's got yeah. You know,
of course I'm so wise, I think, is why they
call me.

Speaker 3 (02:39:37):
Probably that's it. A skateboard. I broke. At what point
y'all start, y'all start pounding for you crazy drink?

Speaker 8 (02:39:47):
I will.

Speaker 3 (02:39:50):
I had to.

Speaker 4 (02:39:50):
I had to had to remind a buddy of something.
They won't let you on the plane if you They
have a rule if you are visibly and you're getting visibly.

Speaker 3 (02:39:59):
Yeah, but you can't use the wheelchair and audibly.

Speaker 4 (02:40:03):
You're getting audibly and visibly you know what?

Speaker 3 (02:40:06):
And when someone is to the point when you need
to say it. Unfortunately, that point also means they're not
overly eager to receive.

Speaker 6 (02:40:14):
No.

Speaker 4 (02:40:14):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no wow.

Speaker 3 (02:40:18):
Oh my gracious no.

Speaker 22 (02:40:20):
No.

Speaker 3 (02:40:21):
I'm sorry for these little sidebark questions. Have you always
been Yoda to them since since high school? No?

Speaker 4 (02:40:25):
I just made that up. Yeah, I know, yeah, oh yeah, sorry,
I just made up the Yoda thing. I think it's
because I'm so strong and small and powerful.

Speaker 3 (02:40:34):
Yes, I do, I do.

Speaker 4 (02:40:37):
I tried to do a Yoda thing and then I
lost there. Guys, the airport was or that our plane
was supposed to take off during the day, and I
thought a six hour buffer, a six hour buffer would
be enough the concert. It wasn't. We totally missed the concert.
American Airlines it was Southwest. Okay, y'all, this is this

(02:41:00):
is not this is not daytime. This is nighttime. Here's
my plane taking off but I did get to see
the sphere. How crazy is that sphere?

Speaker 13 (02:41:08):
Though?

Speaker 4 (02:41:08):
Guy, Like, I'm leaving town and you just look at
it and you're like that thing doesn't make sense to
your eyes.

Speaker 3 (02:41:16):
Look at it. But wow, it was dark outside. Yes,
I mean you realize how long you got to go
for it to be dark in Vegas.

Speaker 8 (02:41:24):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (02:41:25):
I was supposed to take off in the one o'clock
hour and I took off in the ten o'clock hour,
ten pm.

Speaker 3 (02:41:31):
That's awful, man, it was.

Speaker 4 (02:41:33):
It was horrible and it's so dystopian in there. The
amount of botched plastic surgery women walking around place. You
feel like you're in like some weird alien dystopian world.
It's horrible. Cannot Yes, guys, the LSD concert CD, it's
not LSD. Please stop saying that LCD and what LCD

(02:41:57):
sound system is the name of the band. It's this
super hipster dance. But you missed it, but I missed it.

Speaker 3 (02:42:01):
Yes, you were ready to dance. So at what point
do you just give up? Go Okay, that's it, we're
not getting to the concert.

Speaker 4 (02:42:08):
Well, you see it slowly going through your fingers, because
at one point we were like, you know, if we
left right now. We could make it in a rental car,
but that's because they've drugged you, drug you along for
three hours, and then you're in this like decision thing.
I looked at other airlines. It would have cost me
two hundred and fifty bucks more, plus I would have
lost the Southwest ticket, and you're just like, okay, I'm
not going to do that, and ended up I ended

(02:42:30):
up staying away because I had to wake up at
four o'clock Central time for work. I ended up staying
up for over twenty four hours, over twenty four hours
by the time I got because it was, you know,
twelve thirty one o'clock. Now it's one thirty and I'm
getting in bed at one forty five. But that's one
forty five California time. It is now I've now hit

(02:42:53):
four am Central.

Speaker 8 (02:42:54):
So it was.

Speaker 21 (02:42:55):
It was a.

Speaker 4 (02:42:55):
Horrible start to the day, horrible horrible way to begin it,
and you just like, Okay, this is already not worth it.
What I just went through was already not worth it.

Speaker 5 (02:43:06):
You can't have nothing now the next day, did y'all
have plans starting early? And then now you're tired because
you just got there, so you want to slew in, Yes,
and you in your baby bed.

Speaker 4 (02:43:15):
So well, yeah, we get to the house. It was
really big house, really nice, plenty of bathrooms. You got
to have bathrooms. Now the bedroom count is as important
as a bathroom count.

Speaker 3 (02:43:23):
Now in this.

Speaker 4 (02:43:23):
Situation, I was not going to share a bed, so
I'm scoping my spot. Yes, I did see that one
of the rooms had a small day bed in it.
It wasn't it wasn't a race car bed. It wasn't.
It wasn't a race car bed, but it was a
smaller bed than.

Speaker 3 (02:43:42):
They're always fourteen McQueen.

Speaker 4 (02:43:45):
Yeah, yeah, so I called it. I just called it. Okay,
it's like, all right, that's got my name written all
over it. I'll sleep in that. So that was a skateboardboard,
my skateboard. And that's y'all. Just just the white noise,
forget the breeze. The white noise of the fan alone
is worth it.

Speaker 3 (02:44:05):
And what is the most important to you, noise or breeze.
That's a good question, because they have an for the noise.

Speaker 4 (02:44:13):
Well that's true, but it's not as good. It's not
as good. It's not as it's like. Breeze is number one. Yes,
because I can't. I can't sleep. I can put in
ear plugs, but I can't make myself cooler if it's
too hot because the breeze is number one. Uh but
the white noise. Don't sleep on the white noise. Actually
do sleep during the white noise, but I did. I

(02:44:34):
still stuck to my plan. I got up, got on
the boosted board, and frankly, sleeping five or six hours
is more sleep than I usually get nowadays. So that
was fine. Got up, got on the skateboard and caught
sunrise in California, and I actually have I've never been to.
The one time I went to l A was for work.

(02:44:54):
It was for what was it Mom's Day out? That correct,
that movie that was coming out? Uh no, no, no, no,
that was the football one Wood Long Woodland, thank you,
thank you? Okay, wow, Chris, good memory there. So that
was work.

Speaker 3 (02:45:10):
That was all work.

Speaker 4 (02:45:11):
I stayed right in the same area, right there on
the Hollywood star Walk of Fame or whatever. The whole
time I was working straight through the airport. I didn't
get to the beach.

Speaker 3 (02:45:19):
This time.

Speaker 4 (02:45:20):
I went to the beach. Is sunrise Saturday morning, get
on the boosted board, electric skateboard head on out, and
we're right in the Venice Beach area. You know about it, muscles.
I'm in my element, this is my plate and I
was old. So I get out there, and I will say,

(02:45:41):
the California coast is a lot more. Everybody talks about California.
It's the most beautiful place in the country.

Speaker 3 (02:45:46):
All this stuff. It was.

Speaker 4 (02:45:48):
It was more beautiful right there than I thought it
would be, if that makes sense. You've got the big beach,
nice views, good waves, and then you've got mountains just
like right there also and they're beautiful and it's a
nice mix. I was impressed.

Speaker 3 (02:46:07):
It was.

Speaker 4 (02:46:08):
It was honestly almost Maui kind of vibes. And I
had not seen that before. I had not been to
the beach in La and and that was, like I said,
in the Venice area, and it was very impressive. So California,
I'll give you that. Okay, So the revenues is trying
to destroy the state, but the rest of the guys
slept in.

Speaker 3 (02:46:26):
But you just went out on your own.

Speaker 4 (02:46:27):
Yeah, yeah, that's that ends up happening.

Speaker 3 (02:46:29):
A lot was on the beach.

Speaker 4 (02:46:32):
No, but I did stop by a CBS and did
see a guy try to seal some stuff and then
they had to poke them with a stick.

Speaker 2 (02:46:39):
Here's the Rick Burgess show. Go ahead, admit it. This
show is starting to grow on you, isn't it the
Rick Burgis Show.

Speaker 3 (02:46:58):
So we're talking to Adler. He looked at trips to
Los Angeles with some dudes, some friends of his, celebrating
one of their friends marriage and uh, spending some time
together God weekend, and it did not start off well.
Got to Las Vegas, got delayed nine hours, missed the

(02:47:19):
dance party, missed the Dad Hollywood Bowl at the Hollywood Bowl.

Speaker 4 (02:47:22):
But he's up.

Speaker 3 (02:47:23):
He's seen the sun rise. Uh there, he's there at
Venice Beach, you know, doing some curls, riding a skateboard.
He's hanging out, throwing his muscles. Decided to go into
a CVS and unfortunately saw one try to wave to
the break. You said someone tried to steal something while
you went in. You saw them go after them with
a stick.

Speaker 4 (02:47:40):
So okay, yeah, I'm cruising around Venice. It's very cool,
very nice.

Speaker 3 (02:47:45):
You're a California kid, where a hairing the breeze, loving it. Yes,
did you try to talk to that thief? Since you
you know how it feels, and tell him crime doesn't pay.

Speaker 4 (02:47:55):
I thought you learned your lessons.

Speaker 3 (02:47:58):
I've got my Smoothie King T shirt on change Ways.
I learned it the hard way. Look at me now,
the amusement part. I never got to go back.

Speaker 4 (02:48:08):
Thank you, buddy, Thank you so much. Greg was one
of the worst memories of my childhood. Buddy, thank you.
So all right, So I'm cruising around and I I
need I need to have sinus surgery. And so every
day I'm using this squeeze bulb and like renting out
my sinuses in the morning and at night so that
I don't get sinus infections.

Speaker 3 (02:48:25):
Well, you're something else I forgot, yes.

Speaker 4 (02:48:28):
Exact connetty kind of thing.

Speaker 16 (02:48:29):
But this is.

Speaker 4 (02:48:32):
I'm so high, ma, I'm a thousand years old, a
thousand years.

Speaker 3 (02:48:35):
Old, and you're on a trip by yourself. You would
think you would just go this is what this is.

Speaker 4 (02:48:39):
This is just the stuff for me. When I go
on the trip with the family, it's so it's it's crazy,
it's even it's crazier. I'm just yes, I'm the and
that's me. I'm the sure when it's the family. Uh,
And so I'm like, I gotta get this. I gotta
get to an actual pharmacy and grab one of these
squeeze bulb things. Don't want to be getting sick, right,
So I go after the sun rise checking it out.

(02:49:02):
And I know that sunrise and sunset sunset is generally
the West coast thing.

Speaker 11 (02:49:07):
It is.

Speaker 3 (02:49:07):
That just is.

Speaker 4 (02:49:09):
I had to take my opportunities when I could, and
I I love getting out early. Yes, the beach is empty,
the streets are empty, the sidewalks are empty. I had Venice,
the Venice.

Speaker 3 (02:49:19):
People, alness, the homeless are still sleeping.

Speaker 4 (02:49:24):
Very yeah, they're that's their sleeping hours, that's their ram
sleep hours. Definitely. I had the Venice fishing pier almost
to myself, a couple of actual fishing fisherman dudes out there.
But it was great, really nice quiet. It's great. And
then I so I get to CVS. I'm trying to
find the little nose flushing thing. Fine one, I'm checking

(02:49:46):
out and then I the guy that's checking me out,
an older Indian man, and he looked. They looked at
me when I came in, thinking I was probably gonna
steal some stuff. I was on a skateboard long ha there's.

Speaker 3 (02:49:59):
A picture of you been there from San Antonio.

Speaker 4 (02:50:02):
Uh, they see that I'm a pain customer and that
you actually, honestly, you feel the everybody relaxed in the place.
I'm not going.

Speaker 3 (02:50:09):
She's good.

Speaker 4 (02:50:10):
Honestly, it was a weird feeling. There was a lot
of stuff behind Glatt, like locked cabinets or whatever. There
was a lot that wasn't It's so it's like they
figured out what items are stolen, a lot, you know whatever,
but there was a lot locked away, but there was
still a lot out. I thought everything was going to
be locked up. Indian guy that's checking me out goes, hey,
you you don't stop, and I'm like.

Speaker 3 (02:50:30):
Me, what No.

Speaker 4 (02:50:33):
Another dude comes in and this guy is not looking good.
He's got glasses on, real dark glasses on, no shoes,
and he's just kind of like walking weirdly like this,
you know, walking in yeah, kind of bundled up kind

(02:50:53):
of thing. And the guys, like the Indian guy that's
checking me, he's.

Speaker 3 (02:50:58):
Like you no out stop No, okay. Wow.

Speaker 4 (02:51:01):
So they know of it, they know it, you know.
And this guy, this Indian guy, this guy, and I
think it must be like a little rod that they
used to like pull down the door at the end
of the night or something, or it's just their homeless
prodder because he then I'm standing here. I'm waiting, like

(02:51:21):
he's already scanned the things. I'm just waiting to put
my card in so i can leave. And the Indian
guy walks away and he starts poking this guy with
the stick. You don't get out of here, and you
don't get out, and I'm like, what is happening? And
the guy the guy is walking away from the door.
He's not walking to the door, he's walking away from

(02:51:42):
the door. And he starts just like kind of getting
weird on this display thing. And the guy's like, no, no,
you hit me yesterday.

Speaker 9 (02:51:49):
You out of here.

Speaker 4 (02:51:49):
You so always steal.

Speaker 16 (02:51:52):
So they know this guy.

Speaker 4 (02:51:57):
An alarm goes off. He gets kind of disappe years
around a corner. A woman comes up. She's like, yes,
he's here, Yes, please come now, So she's calling the police.
Indian guy still kind of like jabbing him with a stick, Like, sir,
you're prodding him, though not in the right direction, brought
him at least towards the door. Instead, you're just kind

(02:52:17):
of just prodding him into the ground. He disappears around
a thing, and I don't know what he does. I
don't know what he does, but I hear the woman say, sir, no,
the floor is so dirty, sir no, don't do that.
I don't know what in the world. But at the
same time, I'm like, ma'am, you work here. Shouldn't that?
Should the floor be so so dirty?

Speaker 3 (02:52:38):
Like?

Speaker 4 (02:52:38):
Should that be something that you can say? So that
was California CVS.

Speaker 3 (02:52:43):
I'm thinking in this situation him not the worst case
scenario of what he could have been doing. Yeah, but
she wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (02:52:52):
So I get my nose flusher and I get out
of there.

Speaker 3 (02:52:55):
One of the highlights what he's going through.

Speaker 4 (02:52:58):
One of the highlights of what I wanted to check
out was this place right near the house that we're
staying at called Venice Ramen. And you guys know, I'm
all about Ramen for breakfast. That saved the trip. No,
it opened at eleven and I will save the trip.
It opened at eleven. I was there at eleven fifteen.
It saved that. Ramen saved the trip. It was you

(02:53:19):
knew who I wanted to be serving in Ramen old
old Asian lady can't speak English very good at all.
She better be old, she better be struggling to hand
me that ramen.

Speaker 3 (02:53:29):
And you know it's good to be good.

Speaker 9 (02:53:30):
And it was real good.

following along with him. He had quite the weekend planned

(02:54:31):
with his guy friends there for a little wedding party.
Uh and and I mean, I know you've hit us
with some of the highlights of being there, but I
mean we're kind of You went to see the Rams
and went to a ballgame. What else did you do
over the weekend.

Speaker 4 (02:54:44):
Yes, that that so that's the that's the big weekend
ender is we're going to the Rams Colts game at
so Far.

Speaker 3 (02:54:52):
I know you guys had a good one.

Speaker 4 (02:54:53):
I know you guys were wondering about the ramen, the
ramen noodles that I got. And it was really really
good at Venice Ramen. And yes, the lady was really
old that handed it to me. You wanted to be
old struggling almost yes.

Speaker 3 (02:55:05):
Yeah, real good almost like yeah, yeah, so that was great.
That grows you feel that any on the way back
on your skateboard, yes, yes.

Speaker 4 (02:55:16):
And then one other things in Venice, in LA, in
the Venice Beach area, they've got these canals. That's why
they call it Venice Beach. They've actually got canals. It's
a whole canal system that go off the tides and
there's all these little houses along these canals. And I've
skated and walked all amongst all these canals on Saturday

(02:55:37):
and Sunday and it was really cool. And if you
didn't know about it, now you know about it.

Speaker 3 (02:55:42):
Thank you very much. Doesn't it break your heart for
a place to be a state, to be so beautiful
and be so ruined by democrats.

Speaker 4 (02:55:48):
Yes, yes, And you can tell every person on their
tiny little property, a little lot, they actually have a
lot of pride in that. Like there's a lot of
really nice landscaping just in like a ten by twelve
little back yard square of theirs. There's such nice investment
in people's personal property. But then you see the public
space in this public square just ignored in a lot

(02:56:12):
of ways. You know, you're like, gods, this is it's
it's crazy, and it just shows you how poorly run
the state is, but is still kind of trucking along
because the people that live there and care about their
own personal private stuff. AnyWho forget that rant Sunday, We're
going to the Ring here, I am walking walking into Scope.

(02:56:36):
Yeah they don't let you. Yeah, so walking into Sofar
here and y'all this building this is the biggest stadium
I think I've ever been in just as far as
footprint and size and scale. I do love. This is
like translucent the covering on the top, so the sun
can still kind of kick through a little bit and

(02:56:59):
you kind of feel like you're still outside. There's enough
fresh air coming in through so that you don't feel
like you're breathing, kind of stale air, really nice set up,
very very impressive feat of engineering there.

Speaker 3 (02:57:11):
Please tell me did bring your skateboard to this?

Speaker 4 (02:57:13):
I know, but my buddy actually had something pretty cool
lined up for us.

Speaker 3 (02:57:21):
At the game.

Speaker 4 (02:57:21):
At the game, my buddy has has season tickets and
evidently he cashed in every bit of season tickety ever
credits and guys, after the game, what are on the field? Yeah, brothers,
we got on the field? How cool was that?

Speaker 14 (02:57:41):
It was?

Speaker 4 (02:57:41):
It was really neat getting down of the field after
the game. I will say that there is a large
part of this that feels very photo op only does
that make sense? Like this is this is just for
people to take pictures of and post on their social
me Because we were like one out of like two

(02:58:02):
hundred people that had to go stand in line to
do this. We had to go get a wristband like
during the second quarter to do this. After the game,
we had to go get arist bander the second quarter,
and then we had to like be in line before
the game was even over. So I'm like, hey, what
about watching the game too? Like that's pretty important because
I'm the game too. So that was a game yeah,

(02:58:23):
big time. I had to watch. I had because of
the line that we had to be in to go
on the field after the game. I had to watch
the last comeback on a TV that was like one
hundred guards away, and I'm like, guys, what what is this?
And nobody else that was in the line really seemed
to care that much, and so I'm like, so, y'all
are just here for the photo op. I guess to

(02:58:44):
get on the field because I was kind of here
to watch the game, right, So that needs some work.

Speaker 3 (02:58:49):
How about the Colts receiver that that lost the ball
before you went.

Speaker 4 (02:58:54):
Did you get to see as Yes, we saw the
fun but we were like, yeah, what an idiot man
play to get that far and then you lose before
you go in.

Speaker 3 (02:59:03):
Did you say Jim Harbaugh and scream who's got better
than us?

Speaker 1 (02:59:06):
Right?

Speaker 3 (02:59:06):
Nobody?

Speaker 4 (02:59:08):
But so that was very frustrating. I wish they would
change that, however, but this is never gonna happen to
me again. So what do I care?

Speaker 3 (02:59:16):
You know that whole thing. You got to go to
the field.

Speaker 4 (02:59:19):
We got to go to the field, got to go
to the game. After the After the game, we get
back to the house and I have a short window
because we actually did a nice dinner and the corn
bread that I had at this place, I know in
California cornbread, I know, it was like it was crazy.
It was like cake but also had a little kick
to it. There was butter on top of it. It
was crazy good. After in between the game and dinner,

(02:59:41):
I get get on the booster board. I have a
very short amount of time, but I want to get
to the Santa Monica pre which is about three miles away.
So before the sun goes down, I boosted board, ride
the electric skateboard past all that stuff that we mentioned earlier,
Muscle Beach, the famous skate park that's right there on
the beach and in the Venice skate park was there, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so I get all the way to the Santa

(03:00:01):
Monica Pier, which is the beginning of Root sixty six
or the end, however you want to look at the
end of it. So I got out there. I'm a
big Root sixty six guys done portions of it. I've
done portions of it with my wife. She's I mean,
she's crazy about it. But it's it's a cool part
of American.

Speaker 3 (03:00:17):
History, which is why you wanted to be the Lightning McQueen.

Speaker 4 (03:00:20):
Exactly like it all goes back to Lightning McQueen. And
so I get out on the pier, take a picture,
and it's great, and I got my I got my
Root sixty six shirt on.

Speaker 3 (03:00:29):
You have a picture.

Speaker 4 (03:00:30):
So I got to well, I'm trying to tell the story.

Speaker 3 (03:00:33):
Yeah, and so sounds like a full picture fun.

Speaker 4 (03:00:35):
And so that was great. I got at the beginning
and let's see where is it? Here? Here we go? Uh,
here you go. I could you could see. I made
it to Roote sixty six and here I am. There's
the uh there's a historic Root sixty six sign right there.
I've got my shirt. I got my shirt on as well.
And then guys, oh little foam, look who photo bombed

(03:00:57):
my picture? Some weirdo. Yeah yeah, you got so you
got two two weirdos.

Speaker 3 (03:01:03):
Yeah picture.

Speaker 4 (03:01:08):
Y'all always having to fly so fast, That's why I'm
wearing those sunglasses because my contacts started drying out. I'm
on the board and my contacts are drying out because
I'm catching so much wind. That was huge, man, Grandma said,
I'm wrapping up this story, wrapping up the story. I
get to uh get to the airport. It's it's now Sunday,
it's now Monday morning. I have a five forty am

(03:01:30):
flight because I wanted to be home early. Like I said,
I wanted to be home before my kids got home.

Speaker 3 (03:01:33):
By yourself.

Speaker 4 (03:01:34):
I'm by myself, solo. I get to the airport. I
ride the boosted board through the airport. Because it's so fast,
I can ride it into the security line. Right into
the security line, I get checked in. I'm good. Now
I'm going from LA to Nashville. Now I'm in Nashville.
I got a tight turnaround. Luckily, I have the electric
skateboard skate I skate through the Nashville airport flying because

(03:01:58):
it's a quick turnaround, flying literally, get to my gate.
They start boarding right then. I love it, and I'm like,
this is awesome, this is great. I get on the
plane in Nashville.

Speaker 15 (03:02:08):
I get on the.

Speaker 4 (03:02:09):
Plane and we're waiting to take off, and a person
comes up to me and says, are you the person
with the skatee Oh no, no no, I say yes.
They're like, we need to see your boarding pass. Oh
like okay, here you go. I've flown with this skate
electric skateboard, like literally twenty four times, like over A

(03:02:31):
two dozen times. Okay, it's below the TSA limit. I've
been through TSA and and this is my fourth flight
in four days like this is and this is like
a weird flight gate person I don't know, not a
flight attendant, a gate person. They then tell me, Okay,
we're gonna have to get you rebooked because you can't

(03:02:52):
fly with this And I say, what booked? I'm on
the plane. This is my fourth flight in four days.
Are this is my flight from Nashville to Birmingham. So
if you on my flight from Nashville to Birmingham yesterday,
I'm sorry that all of this happened.

Speaker 3 (03:03:05):
You're the problem.

Speaker 4 (03:03:08):
But this is They said you have to be off
the flight because we got to rebook you. Wait a second,
maybe can you can you take the battery off of
the skateboard. I'm like, yes, I can. But then I
realized I don't have my Allen key, so they're calling
maintenance to bring an Allen. I had to get on
and off the plane like three times. I'm in the tunnel.

(03:03:29):
I'm in the tunnel taking my skateboard apart. Why did
nobody else have a broad But then the right. Why
did nobody else have a problem with this. It's not
like I'm hiding it. I rode up to the gate
on it. I rode up to I've been I've flown
with it a bazillion times?

Speaker 3 (03:03:45):
How many times on this.

Speaker 4 (03:03:49):
Yes, I'm in my fourth flight on the They caught
me on the fourth flight. They stopped me. They tried
to take me off, they tried to take the boost
the electric skateboard, they tried to rebook me.

Speaker 3 (03:03:59):
Let's read book. Are you elevated?

Speaker 8 (03:04:01):
Here?

Speaker 3 (03:04:01):
Are you showing yourself?

Speaker 4 (03:04:03):
I'm saying all the things that I'm saying to you, guys.
I'm like, this is tone my fourth flight in four days. Yes,
this is my tone right now. I said, this is
my fourth darn flight. I stopped myself right under my breath.
It was a quick moment. I did say darn, and
I said my fourth flight. I restated it because that
was not the right thing to do, and so I apologize.

(03:04:26):
If anybody was in my immediate era heor and heard
me say darn, I'm sorry. That was not the right
thing to do. So now I'm in the jetway of
the little tunnel thing they give me. They tell me
four different things. One, we got to rebit you. Oh no,
you're good, okay. So I sat down and think I'm good,
and then oh no, you got to take it apart.
So I go in the thing and take it apart.
I go sit back down again, and I think I'm good,

(03:04:46):
and then they call me out again and they say, actually,
you know, we can't. I'm like you, guys have told
me four different things. This flight is now delayed twenty
five minutes because of me and because of you. Everybody
hates me. I hate you. Take it. Take darn thing.
Just take it. If that's what, if that's where we're
gonna land here eventually, just take it. And so they
took it. They took the battery.

Speaker 3 (03:05:10):
I go here, take the battery.

Speaker 4 (03:05:11):
And then at least I've got the board and the
guts and the frame of it, and I can buy
a new I can buy a new battery for two
hundred and fifty bucks. This is a high end thing.
This is made in the USA. Oh yeah, I accidentally
sounded racist when I said this is not some foreign
made thing. This is made in the United States. And
when I said it, it sounded like I didn't like
foreigners or something like that. That's not what I meant

(03:05:33):
when I said I meant that it's like a quality product.
We know where it's made. It's not like those hover
boards that were we did have a problem with. You'll
remember back when motherboards.

Speaker 3 (03:05:44):
Fifty dollars battery.

Speaker 4 (03:05:45):
They took my battery. I'm about to and I'm like,
well fine, and so I've got the guts in the board.
The board is wood and rubber and a couple of cords.
They take that for me too. This lady comes down
on the tunnel. This lady comes down the tunnel and
she's like, no, you can't take that. No, no, no, no,
And you can't take the board either. I'm like, this

(03:06:06):
is wood and rubber. What do you think it's gonna do.
And she's like, no, you can't.

Speaker 3 (03:06:10):
I think they make some of that stuff up so
they can, so they can. It's been approved dozens of times.
It was approved twice on this very trip, and they
need to figure out. We got to go to bread.
I got this ain't right, this ain't right. They took
your board.

Speaker 4 (03:06:23):
So honestly, guys, I'm we can talk about other things now.
I'm sorry for taking Everybody.

Speaker 3 (03:06:30):
Tell me you lost every board.

Speaker 4 (03:06:32):
Yes, I lost everything, the battery of the board every day.

Speaker 3 (03:06:35):
But after approving it multiple.

Speaker 4 (03:06:38):
Times, why is it stopped? Why? Why is it now?
Why is it right here right now? And the pilot
took a shot at me on the innerco I'm sorry, everybody, the.

Speaker 2 (03:06:48):
Spirit Show the man who could fix the entire commercial
airline industry if they would only give him a shot.

(03:07:09):
Rick Butch, let.

Speaker 3 (03:07:10):
Me have it, please mystore dot com. American entrepreneurs. Adler
probably going there now looking for a new skateboard. Mystore
dot com Mike Lindell says, Look, here is a platform
for you to buy directly from American entrepreneurs that can't
quite seem to get in the big box stores. It

(03:07:32):
can't quite seem to get on Amazon. He's given them
their own platform and with the code big box, you
can save big money on just about anything and everything.
So go to mystore dot com or Rick Burgess Show
dot com under the sponsors button. So I want everybody
to understand this. So Adler looks at the TSA requirements

(03:07:54):
gets a skateboard that meets those requirements. He has flown
with this scale kate board. How many times if.

Speaker 4 (03:08:02):
You count, like connecting flights over two dozen times.

Speaker 3 (03:08:05):
And you've gone through TSA how many times?

Speaker 4 (03:08:07):
Well, just on this trip, I've already gone through TSA twice.
This would be my fourth flight in four days with
this skateboard.

Speaker 3 (03:08:13):
And never once was it taken from him, and it
was approved and approved and has been approved on past flights.

Speaker 4 (03:08:20):
Yes, okay, for almost ten years. I've been flying with
this thing.

Speaker 3 (03:08:23):
Ten years and all of a sudden, some I don't
know what I look. I'm not above thinking that somebody
wanted your skateboard. That's what it has to be, because
you went and they know they got you, and they
know nothing you can do about it, and they took
your skateboard, They checked your ticket, let you through. You
killed your skateboard onto the plane, You've put it up,

(03:08:46):
and you're sitting down and somebody walks onto the plane
and ask where the skateboard guy is and pulls you off. Yes, guys,
we know about the one. We know about the one hundred.
That's why he got one. That is un under what
the battery. If the battery is a hundred or more,
you can't do it. His battery is not one hundred.

Speaker 4 (03:09:05):
It's literally built that way.

Speaker 3 (03:09:08):
It's built to get through to meet the TSA requirements
and has met those requirements for ten years.

Speaker 4 (03:09:14):
It's met it twice on this trip. You no, and
this person's right about the hundred watt hours. It's literally
ninety nine. That's why they built it the way that
they built it. The TSA limit is one hundred. I
think it's milly amp hours, but whatever it is, it's
literally the company built it ninety nine to make it
under the thing. And so y'all and Goment coming on

(03:09:36):
and off the airplane so many times. It was so embarrassing,
and I was so angry because of because I am
now the problem. I am causing all these people to
be delayed.

Speaker 3 (03:09:49):
They're looking at it, but why they're not explaining it.

Speaker 4 (03:09:51):
That they're not explaining it, I look like I'm like
trying to sneak something on. I'm not sneaking anything on.
I rode up to the gate on the electrics. It's
been approved for ten years and twice on this trip.
I'm gonna say that over and over again. S A
yes and two days.

Speaker 3 (03:10:07):
Ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna sorrygis like to lie the
your long haired gal with the beard was some stupid
battery issue, all right, So we're gonna put you away,
sar Late. It's his fault.

Speaker 4 (03:10:16):
You're not off. You're not far off.

Speaker 3 (03:10:19):
Yesnbelieve you're not far off. It's like what you ever
watched the show and you're like, y'all don't have the
information right, and and you struggle through the whole movie
or the whole sitcom because you're like, everybody has the
wrong information. So in this case, everybody's mad at Adler,
but they don't know the story right. I'm not telling
you what to do, but and I don't know why
they stole it, but they they react to social media,

(03:10:41):
and I don't know why. But if you want to
get their attention, you tag the airline, you tag the airport,
you tag the skateboard company. That's good, and you you
tell them what happened in a brief kind of way
on social media on X and see if you get
a response. I bet, I bet the skateboard company because
you bought their product, because of the marketing that is

(03:11:03):
TSA approved. I bet they'll send you another one.

Speaker 4 (03:11:06):
That's all great ideas, guys, and it's just it was
very frustrating without getting too personal there's the skateboard, of
course a while ago. And when it came out, it
was the hottest and the newest and the latest and greatest,
and you could fly with it. That was part of
the pitch, because that is how it's been for the
last ten years a decade. When it came out, it
was more expensive than I wanted.

Speaker 3 (03:11:27):
It to be.

Speaker 4 (03:11:27):
And they stole it from you where in Nashville in
the Nashville Airport.

Speaker 3 (03:11:34):
When nobody's kids on it right now, that works for
the airline. But you went so you're already behind the
line of TSA nether words, you're in the safe zone
because you had to go through it in La. Yes,
so you're already. Hey, we're good. Yes, yes, speity. TSA
hasn't just approved it twice on this trip, they've approved
it for the last ten years.

Speaker 7 (03:11:52):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (03:11:53):
And what was so frustrating was that I would get
on the plane, they would come to me and say, hey,
you need to take it apart. So then I would
go out into the tunnel literally with an Allen Ranch
taking the battery off of the skateboard. And then I
always I think I'm good because they're telling me I'm good.
So then I go and sit back down. I'm like, finally,
then ten minutes goes by, and then they take me

(03:12:14):
back out And this.

Speaker 3 (03:12:15):
Happened like he's watching three times somebody management wanted that
they're on Broad Street riding it right now.

Speaker 4 (03:12:20):
I'm like, am I being the scapegoat for y'all to
delay this plane so that you can pick up more
passengers later? Like the amount of just.

Speaker 3 (03:12:27):
Lazy and dull business from the kind of the guy
in then the route sixty six shirt is the problem
made some typical long hair with a skateboard doesn't seem
