and I got out of the truck today and ignored
that he has a date in the front of his
and we were, yeah, I'm a nor For a while

(02:24):
we were walking and he got out and I said, sad,
another show's here. Yeah, And we discussed how quick another
show will show up, and then we discussed pretty consistent
that they're five hours long, and we thought, you know,
we just knock them out one after another. And if
we were honest with the audience, weren't trying to scare you.
As we sit here right now, we don't have any
idea how we're going to do this.

Speaker 5 (02:43):
No, I mean generally five hours.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I'll tell you yesterday you speak, We've done it.

Speaker 6 (02:48):
I don't even know how we do it. I mean,
forty five minutes into yesterday's show. I didn't know I
was gonna be going out there telling you if the
deer her truck or not.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
For Greg. Yeah, it just happened. I didn't know I
was gonna be out there. Think about how many times,
Think about how many times Adler starts to show yes,
no idea, how we're gonna change his life?

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yeah, Greg, did you hit a deer on the way
in this morning?

Speaker 5 (03:10):
Did not?

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Okay?

Speaker 7 (03:11):
Good?

Speaker 5 (03:12):
So I had one running next to me.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Oh no, besides you, and you're waiting on him to cut.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
And I said, you're not going to get me. Your
buddy got Greg yesterday, You're not getting me today.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
But that's a bold deer to run next to the
sweet van.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
Hey was he looking at the van?

Speaker 3 (03:31):
He was just running and in a yard next to me,
just running through a yard like we're in a race together.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
He's gonna get besides you, get in front of you
and cut off. Cut over. See. I'm good. But that one,
it came out of the upper bank. And it was
only because if I see him standing and see the eyes,
I start backing off from one of he's gonna make
a break for it. I know. I know Greg from
from text Nation. Papa why did you run over? Baby

(04:00):
was more sad about the deer than my truck. Of
course she was, and said, that's an official statement for me.
I hate your trugs then, but I.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
Feel I want to be on the record.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
She did. She said, she goes. I feel terrible for
that poor deer. I said, believe me, there's plenty of
take its place. I mean plenty, so many, but it happened.
I don't want to hit nothing. Yeah, I'm not going
to crash the truck tonight. It was raining. I can't
just do a power slide. Did you make it? Did
you make a noise when it happened? Yeah? Probably, Yeah.

(04:33):
I was one of those. I had one that came
out on me.

Speaker 6 (04:35):
It's been gracious, I don't know, more than ten years ago,
and one came out and I had no had no chance.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
It just sometimes what happened to one hit me one
time it hit the side of the guitar. Yeah, you do, well,
that's what happened to me. You remember earlier in the year.
I mean, I'm just riding and one came out of
the woods panicked and just didn't hit run, hit in
front of the truck, just ran into the front pane,

(05:02):
I mean the up front panel just yeah, ran right
into it. Yeah, I mean wide open and messed it
up bad. Yeah. So anyway, I.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
Guess, yeah, we got plenty of them.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Alabama's human population is around five million, their deer population
is a little under two million.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
So yeah, so.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Here you go.

Speaker 5 (05:22):
There's a lot of them.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
But we had to replenish deer because we didn't have
any deer really to speak of in the seventies, sixties, seventies,
and you know, let me congratulate all the biologist to, hey,
you did it while we got them. Yeah, I mean,
we got them. We call it that.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
It's kind of weird, like, especially since I've started looking
at game cameras nighttime especially, they come out like crazy.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
It's kind of weird.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
We just have like cattle, night cattle, you know, cattle,
cattle of the night just walking around in towns everywhere and.

Speaker 5 (05:56):
Everywhere, I mean just in our backyards.

Speaker 8 (05:59):
Is that weird?

Speaker 5 (05:59):
Y'all out a little bit now that I know about.
I didn't know they were that active at night.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Imagine they love to move at night. Yeah, imagine if
they were vicious.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Oh yeah, we just have wolves. We've got nights cattle, y'all.
They're just every swamp donkeys, whatever you want to call them.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
They're everywhere you go.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Swamp donkey, donkey threw that one out, Yes, donkeys. I
haven't heard that in a long time. In a minute, donkey.
So uh so, anyway, I don't know. And all these
things they claim you put on the vehicle to keep
them from scare them. That works and the only way
I really figured out how to not see deers to
go hunting.

Speaker 6 (06:36):
Right suddenly, there perfect coming.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Right, I know they've been abducted. Yeah, I know what's
happened to all of us, every single one of us
is to be sitting out in the woods. I'm talking
about you prepared, you got so much bear and you
just sew and be sitting out in the woods. I'm
talking about you've been out there for hours and all
you've seen is squirrels. That's it. And there the squirrel a
extremely active. They're extremely active. And also your wife sends

(07:03):
you like a little video of a giant deer running
through the backyard. Yeah, I mean, you're just like guys.
We have bucks in our neighborhood that are better than anything.
Any book is a trophy, said man, he's got it
just like he likes living. Yeah. So so other than
the vehicles, he's got it made. Yeah yeah, now you

(07:25):
got to watch him big. Yeah. But they're pretty, they're
pretty savvy. They don't they don't end up in front
of one month once they get a little age on
them at the neighborhood book. And of course every single
grandfather or uncle uncle you've ever had about a good
buck where they say there's a reason, here's a reason
he's gotten that big because he's not stupid. And they will, they'll,

(07:47):
they're they're a little more savvy than you wanted to be.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Sometimes you see those deer whistles a lot, especially especially
in the motorcycle community, and I think you're right.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
I don't think they work.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Is anybody on the record saying that actually works. Well,
here's some personal text. Nation they work. They work more
than they don't. Well, you work? How do you know that?

Speaker 7 (08:08):
That?

Speaker 2 (08:08):
I can tell in the words? So they go, well,
I hadn't hit one, Well, I hadn't hit one for
like twenty years until yesterday. If I had a whistle,
yeah right now, if I had a whistle on my truck,
I'd be thinking it's working because I I had hit one.
Like I said, it's been a minute since I don't
hit a deer every every other day. I mean, it's
not gonna it feels like it. Yeah, now I see
them every other day. Hey, there's a stretch of Interstate.

(08:30):
I'm in the middle lane. There's it's three lane wide
in stretch.

Speaker 6 (08:35):
I can't and I get in the middle because you'll
see them all eating on the side and you step
right out.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
You're talking about that on four fifty nine. I've been
going down this highway where we live called four fifty nine,
and there's these little hills off to your love and
there's a little open area. I don't know if people
are planting food plucks there. You look out there, there'll
be like forty right off right off a major highway
out there feeding. Like you said, it was like cattle. Yeah,

(09:01):
so so we got cattle. Cattle. We got to do
a better job. I know, it's a hassle. We we
gotta do a better job of killing mom. Yeah, you know,
and it's a lot. Do you get one down and
then what you got to do with it is a lot.
It is it's cold and Greg and I found that
out trying to watch our Yeah, all right, we'll be back.

(09:23):
We got a lot to do today as always. Well,
look forward to hearing from you too if we unpack
the stories of the day.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Hanging there, this is the Rick Burgess ship, the man

(09:51):
who shaved thirty minutes off his last road trip.

Speaker 7 (09:55):
Rick burches.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
Yeah the key.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah yeah. Those of you that ask hontell how I
did it. But anyway, all right, so we're back, Thanks
for being with us, America. Things you need to know today,
Wednesday Bible Study is back, So let me give a
couple of teasers here. So Wednesday Bible Study. If you're
someone that is new to that, we're in the book

(10:20):
of Job. We're almost done. We're two weeks now, this
week and next week and we will be done with job.
I do believe. So, so anyway, today is Job forty one.
We last week Behemoth was a big one, a lot
of discussion about dinosaurs and all this. Today God shows

(10:42):
job Leviathon. What in your world is Leviathon? Well, join
us today and we'll discuss So noon Central one o'clock
Eastern on the YouTube channel, and then you can catch
the archives soon after if that doesn't work for you,
and then coming up this weekend, Lord Willing, Thursday, we

(11:03):
have the production schedule back that we will do a
new Strange Encounters and we will unpack in great detail
the six seven phenomenon with children and its origin. So
and it's you might want to look into it, So
that that'll be coming out this weekend. Some things to

(11:25):
discuss today too, since we're in that in that part
of what we do. Can you imagine, you know what
we talk about this a lot, you know that where
we picture ourselves in scenarios and what would we do.
So you remember back when you know, David Koresh and
all that was going on, horrible thing out in Waco, Texas, horrible, horrible,

(11:48):
any of these cults or things like that, and we
were discussing, let's say somehow you know, I mean, it's
hard to imagine, but apparently people did that. We buy
in that David Koresh has been anointed somehow by God,
and at some point we're even thinking he might be
some sort of modern day Messiah, even though I don't
think I see anything in scripture that calls for Jesus

(12:09):
to return playing electric guitar into Zeppelin covers. Yes, a
rock band right, But let us say that we're still in. Okay,
we're still in that didn't move and we're in there
with our wives. Okay, we've moved into this compound. Okay,
we're in. I think the day that he came out
and said, hey, I have a new revelation. Everybody's wives
belonged to me, and I will be able to produce

(12:30):
children with them. Yeah, I think that's the day that
I talked to Sherry and I said, hey, let's pack
our stuff. Those rational adults figure that way. I think.
I think, I think, I think I'm out yees a problem.
So I want you to imagine you're sitting in your service.
This is a Methodist and I'm gonna use the word
pastor loosely here. No no shocker here in New York.

(12:50):
You're just sitting there at the service. Uh, and Adler,
should I do the story? Is the video? Can we
act like we're there and hear the video?

Speaker 5 (12:58):
It's it's pretty long. Oh, it is a four minute thing.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
But if that's not, if you just want to let
that roll and.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
I'll find it.

Speaker 5 (13:08):
I'll find a one sentence.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
That yeah, because I have the quote here in the
story that speedy has given me. You're in the service. Okay,
look at this cat here, Greg. Okay, you're You're in
the service. For for some reason, you're still in the
Methodist church, the one that is if the United Methodists
that have it embraced you know, people, no matter what
their origin. You can be homosexual and be married, you

(13:32):
can be homosexual and be a pastor, all this kind
of stuff. Not the ones that left and are now
independent Methodists. I'm not talking about them because they had
enough sense to say we can't be part of this.
But let's say that somehow you're still there, okay, and
and you're you're with the bunch that the United Methodists
that kind of lost their way. Of course, this is
a United Methodist church in Rochester, Okay. And the pastor

(13:54):
is up for talking to you. Who is a man? Okay?
And all of a sudden, the pastor begins to tell
you the congregation that he will be transitioning to a woman.
And I guess remain your pastor. He say he's tired
of trying to be a man. He's tired of it.
His quote is, I'm affirming to all of you that
I'm transgender. The best way to put it is. I'm

(14:18):
I'm not becoming a woman. I'm just giving up pretending
to be a man. This is a process and it
may be shocking for some as to what all this means. Yeah,
we're a little shocked that our that our pastor is
a is a man that tells us he's not. That
is shocking to us. Uh, that's that's a tough day. Hey,
you're out at lunch, Okay, everybody's sitting around discussing. Uh so,

(14:41):
how how was how was church today? Interesting message? Interesting message? Yeah?
What what did your pastor talk about today?

Speaker 5 (14:48):
The spirit?

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah? Well yeah, matter of fact, we're on a series
on fruits of the spirit. What about Well, no, you know,
at our church, our pastor who is a man, told
us he's not, and he'll be transitioning. He's going to
transition out of being him. He's tired of tending to
be a man. And you go, oh, so what you
mean is it a woman? No, he is a man.
You mean he's tired of being a man. That's a
great question. Uh. And and this person is going to
continue to lead the church. I mean what what? What?

Speaker 6 (15:10):
What?

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Any world? What kind of bizarro? Got a hoodie?

Speaker 3 (15:15):
There's some creative terms here and here's here's a quick
clip from from If you Want.

Speaker 9 (15:21):
I am inviting you to join me in a in
a season of creative transformation for myself and I think
for all of us. Imagine, so I get to announce
with joy that I'm transitioning. I'm affirming and saying to
all of you that I am transgender and so and so.

(15:44):
The best way to put this is that I'm not
becoming a woman. I'm giving up pretending to be a man.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Oh my gosh, tough day, tough day for the service.
Look right over his right show see yeahs cross. Now,
keep in mind he has the rainbow colors already on
the around, which I know in the United Methodist Church
they're they're really jumping up and down about that one.
You know, how about the United Methodist Church. They just
can't be gay enough. I mean, he did have a

(16:15):
nice Mike, good Mike. I don't know how anybody who's
serious about being a follower of Jesus can stay in
this denomination. I really don't. I don't understand it. That's
not being judgmental, that's just telling the truth, because I
don't I'm not the judge of that. But God has
already judged that, and I don't get it. I don't
understand it. I don't know because at this point the

(16:36):
only way for you to be okay with all of
this is to say, I deny the scripture is God inspired.
Uh So, then at that point, what part of scripture
is still God inspired?

Speaker 3 (16:48):
In?

Speaker 2 (16:49):
What part? Isn't you really you what a road you
get on now and how they get now? Couldn't he
also get up there and say, what would you say
if your pastor got up and said, not not with
sneaking around, but just said publicly, I've decided that what
the scripture says about formication, or what scripture says about adultery,
I just don't think stands up. And I want you

(17:11):
to know that I'll be taking some women over on
the side to and have my wife at the same time.
Or I'm not even married, but I'm beginning to have
sex openly with any woman I want to what would
you say about that? And the person said, I just
think that's who I am. I think I was born
that way. Of course, I don't know about y'all. See,
Sin made us that way, God didn't, right, But somebody

(17:32):
remember may maybe having desires to do things that were
in conflict with God. I certainly did so. Was I
born that way? Yeah, because I was born into sin.
That's why you have to be redeemed. We don't just
go with the way we were born. And I don't
doubt that some people struggle with this, but that didn't
mean it's not sin. There's a lot of things I've
struggled with that are clearly sin. God didn't change his

(17:52):
standard on it because I struggle with it or I
felt like I was born with a desire for that.
I mean, that's what been the most ridiculous, ridiculous argument
about all this. You know, when you say that you
were born that way, Well, yeah, we were all born sinners.
But God did make us that way. Sin did so
I just don't. I don't.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
We were fearfully and wonderfully made. Yeah, we were knit
together in our mother's wombs.

Speaker 6 (18:18):
Rick we have the pastor said, look, I'm not cheating,
I'm not doing that, but I'm just I'm just tired
of trying to be a faithful husband, right, I mean,
what would the congregations say, you know, being a faithful
husband has just gotten old.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yeah, And I'm just not gonna I'm not gonna fight
that battling.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
And he said, I'm trying. I'm done pretending to be
a man. No, you're just going to start pretending to
be a woman. That's right, This is pretended. Will you
use the word pretending?

Speaker 10 (18:42):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (18:42):
It is.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Wow, this is the Rick Burgess Show.

(19:08):
you know, the things that they stand for, the things
they do. We're like, well, I'm just here, I am
just funding that. And then you start thinking, well, what
choice do I have? And in some cases there aren't
any good choices. But now when it comes to self service,
I mean, there is a choice, and it's called Patriot Mobile.

Ali dot com thirty percent off all of their products.
Look for that link to at Rick Burgess Show dot
com right there under the sponsors. But all right, just
moving off, one more thing I'll say on that, and
just moving off, because we got a lot of and
even with that, we try to be as lot hard

(22:50):
as we can about something so bizarre and sad and important.
But I think this is a message and we we
said this a long time ago when some of this
stuff started out of various various things. When people do
what this pastor just did. We've had so called Christian
artists do this little thing, you know, where they're what
is it called when they take their faith and they

(23:11):
restructure it what there's a word they use, and then
you know you had they had the Christian in our
artists at time that left his wife and children for
a man and and they and this is all portrayed.
This is nothing could be further from the truth. And
I'll say this and I'll be done. But it's important
when people start pretending these people are brave. Oh, he's
tired of being man.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
He's so brave.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
He left his family for a man. He's so brave. No,
let me tell you what brave is. To not give
into your sin, to stay with your family, to repent
and say to God, I know this isn't your standard,
help me to fight against your sin. Do you realize
that it takes no bravery at all to give in
to sin? None? Okay, what's brave is to not give

(23:58):
into it. That's actual brave. Uh And and to say no,
God's standard is his standard, and I'm not gonna be
in conflict with that, and I'll do whatever i have
to do not to compromise him. By the way, that's brave.
When did we start applauding and saying it's brave to
give in to whatever you want to do or whatever

(24:19):
your flesh wants to do. That's not brave. Uh So Anyway,
because Grave Grave was pointing out that probably this congregation
is not upset because there's a lot of things to happen.
But you even heard some Mata gund gone. We heard
we heard some deconstruct That's what it was, deconstruct. I'm destructing.
I'm deconstructing my faith. Oh he's so brave. He's so

(24:40):
brave to question scripture. That's not brave. That's that's what
That's what we've been doing. Just the fall of mankind.
That that that brave about that that's just that's just
being the world. Uh, that's that's the most comfortable thing
you could possibly do. Brave. Okay, I'll get off that, so, uh,
all right, some other things to discuss today. I know

(25:04):
we're getting into I mean it's it's Christmas. Hey, we're
full more. We're running. I mean we're in December. I
mean here we are off and running. Will y'all help
me with something? Okay? And Greg, you have the same problem.
So I don't know that you're gonna be any help
unless you can say, well, Rick, here's what I'm doing.
You know, like you know, somebody says I have the struggle. Hey,
I'm down with the struggle and I'm upset with myself

(25:28):
and I don't like this. Okay, I'm not I'm not
okay with it, but but I'm but I'm fighting it. Okay,
when you become where we are in life now, all
of us, but Adler where really your house is being
decorated and everything, and very few people are going to

(25:49):
see it other than you. Very few. Oh yeah, okay,
like say we we we we are not hosting anything
any big production this year, okay at our house. And
I find myself unable to enjoy the every decoration that

(26:11):
comes out because all I can picture in my mind
is taking it all down and having to put it up.
And I got to get out of the smoke. It's
I mean, but what the time, Greg is And I
know you show this, I don't. I can't get that.
I can't. I'm thinking more about that, and I'm thinking
to myself, I might have a better Christmas if we
wouldn't pull all this stuff out, I know. And what

(26:34):
a terrible attitude that is.

Speaker 6 (26:35):
Absolutely so, I know this sounds just like me giving
a line, but you know where my mind has to
go in here you go.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
No, I'm being serious, Greg, no help to me. He's
as bad as me. But this is.

Speaker 5 (26:46):
No presence.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Next by the way, Adler wouldn't bother me.

Speaker 6 (26:52):
You really just have to go to boy, my wife
sure is happy. She loves every bit of this. So
just just you know, just to embrace that and know
that she's she's excited about.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
You know how much I love the snow. You can't
think of the other way. You know how much I
love the snow villages. I mean I love to sit
there at night and look at the snow villages. But
this year all I can think about is how how
hard it is to get the snow villages out and
put them back up right. And Rick just enjoyed the
snow villages. You know. We set up our little town
and and and and all the little shops and everything,

(27:23):
and the little lights going down the fate little little
little city street. It is a pretty big production there.
It's a massive production. I mean we've even got different levels.
We got houses up here and houses down here.

Speaker 6 (27:34):
You almost want to just invite neighbors in so other
people can say, hey, come on in, how you do
and you want to stand here, look check out a
little tour. Here's some hot chocolate right the open the curtains, honey,
So people can like ride by and look over and
see it.

Speaker 5 (27:46):
Do we need any plumbing work done, Let's get some
people in here.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
It's it's like, I don't know, I mean, it's I mean,
and we're full blown now. I even heard there's some
addition this year. I don't even sure you brought it up.
I said what she said. You know this year, I
want to put ribbons on the tree. I'm like ribbons,
and you know, all I can think about is that's
gonna be other. It's more stuff to get what I'm
gonna do with the ribbons, you know, ribbons going up,

(28:10):
ribbons and now we're putting Now we got taking ribbons down.
I can already see myself on that ladder taking all
those ornaments off and stuff like that and putting it
all up. Rick. You can't think like that.

Speaker 6 (28:19):
That is the only advantage of embracing putting things up early,
so you don't put them up late and then like
in two weeks, you're right back putting it down.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
You want to at least keep it up for a
little bit.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Yeah, join me November first, guys on the Christmas bandwagon.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
I'm not proud of my attitude, and I, like Matt,
I just got it. And I keep telling them, and
I keep telling myself the right things. I mean, you know,
I'm a pretty good life coach to myself. It's just
sometimes myself won't listen to me coaching.

Speaker 11 (28:46):
You know.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
I just say, I'm like, I'm gonna rig don't be
like that. I even call myself birds like you're doing. Man,
come on, Christmas bird. It's I'm not so sure that
the greatest Christmas ever for me might be for to
not have any of that and just sit in the
in the somberness and the enjoyment of the spirit of Christmas,
but not have to do any of that, no tree

(29:09):
or anything out of it.

Speaker 5 (29:11):
I mean, it's how would you know it was Christmas?

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Then? Because I just know.

Speaker 6 (29:19):
What about a timy wh that you can pick up
from the top and just like put it right there
on the desk.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
There's a side of it. I would move it through
the house. There's a side of me that wish we
lived in an apartment and we put it one little
tree over on the table. Okay, there it is. I mean,
but the uh yeah, I mean, but because see my
I can I can go out Adler like I can
go to a place that has the Christmas lights drive through.
I would enjoy that immensely because I didn't have to
put anything all around, and I don't have to put
it down. I can drive through my neighborhood and see

(29:46):
everybody else's stuff.

Speaker 5 (29:47):
That's a good point.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
I I can go to, you know, a little tuckaway
town somewhere and see the beauty of their little main street.
I love all that. Yeah, but see, I don't have
to put anything up and take you. Now you get
to to enjoy it. I'm just do you. Hey, you
give me some storefronts that have decorations in them, and
I walk down through there with a couple of jobs there.
That's awesome. I love that I don't have to put

(30:10):
ei this up.

Speaker 6 (30:11):
You know, they they announced before you know, the the
White House is all decorated. Now, well, you know, they
have volunteer and they have people that are in charge.
But then they have people that are selected. I mean
you have to have one you just come to go
and tickets.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (30:23):
Yeah, you have to submit like your resume, and then
they select you go there and then that's what you do.
And all you do is work and you decorate the
White House and then you come home.

Speaker 11 (30:34):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (30:34):
And they I saw a story on that about how
people find out if they've if they've been selected or not.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Yes, I wouldn't want to do any of that. Yeah,
but people are so into it that they're like, I'd
rather walk in. I'd rather walk in and see that
it's done. I don't if I got to selected on
that that would actually be I'd I'd be I'd be
Oh no, I got to go help decorate the White House. See,
that'd be a hassle to bit or.

Speaker 5 (30:56):
The White House. They went out all out there.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Do you have to go back and take it down? Yeah? See, hey,
I'll tell you this. Are you ready for this one?
That's their hunting? Yeah? How excited we get to go hunting?

Speaker 11 (31:07):
Right?

Speaker 2 (31:08):
I know that's them decorating. Look, I love the White
House decorated again, y'all, y'all. I'm not against Christmas decorations. Yeah,
I love to see them. I just wish I didn't
have to deal with right, don't you you want others love?
I love looking at others people's stuff. You know, Hey,
look you get me in a small town Oh yeah,
oh you come on small town Christmas. Oh I love

(31:29):
small town christ.

Speaker 6 (31:30):
You know the last time I was walking in hobby
lobby with Terry. I said, so this is like walking
into a hunting store.

Speaker 8 (31:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (31:36):
She said, yeah, that's great, And I said, okay, I said,
I got to go there because to you, this is
you're as excited as I am going in and checking
out some some hunting gear, feeding seed or something, you know,
and y'all into it.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
And you know what, I think that we probably enjoy
hobby lobby about as much as they enjoy hunt show.
Yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (31:56):
Or even when I'm watching a football game and she's
sitting there enduring it and she's become a.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
More of a sports fan I saw.

Speaker 6 (32:02):
I said, sure, this is like you watching a Hallmark movie.

Speaker 5 (32:06):
I miss Biden.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
I miss Biden's White House with the weird Alice in
Wonderland theme that just made you feel creepy the entire
time you watched it. There's weird people dancing around when
they unveiled the violent.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Yeah, a little different, that was weird. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Wow, it's the Rick Burchers show, still denying any involvement
in the food fights of nineteen seventy nine.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Rick Burges, America. Always a pleasure hanging out with you.
Thanks for being here, Speedy. Greg Gadler we're all here
and thank you for being with us today. All right,
So a couple of things text Nation. You know, we
announced this new partnership with griped uh and man, we're

(33:02):
excited the camp house line from Big Box Outdoors and
grip feed. Our first installment is a feed called rix Mix.
More peanuts, you know, more and more and more more,
more fat, more protein. You want attraction, but you want
the nutrition to go with it for for for the

(33:22):
future as well. So somebody just asked a question off
text Nation. By the way, I see that. Uh some
of you are lett me know you've already ordered yours.
That's great. Uh, I can't wait to get your feedback.
But somebody said, burge are you are you? Is it
called broadcast feeder, the automatic feeders that throw them out
of you grab? Are you gravity fed with rix Mix?
I'm I'm gravity fed. I tried the timers. I don't

(33:45):
like them. Yeah, they're just they're just too much hassle.
Uh you know halftime, they don't work right. Uh you
know you have to keep them. Hey, Yeah, there's a
lot of maintenance to it. I have found just you
big old heavy duty gravity feeder. Is I prefer I
prefer the gravity feeder, and I've tried both. Now the
mix will work with either one. But because the protein

(34:09):
that we're have in there, we didn't really go with
the pellets. We went with the actual real peanuts and soybeans,
so they throw better, you know, some of that other
get gummed up sometimes. But the gravity feeder is what
I prefer, and really no other shouldn't surprise you if
you've heard my quirky personality. It's just a lot less maintenance,
right and now this shouldn't have about this, and it

(34:30):
works just fine. I know this thing where people tell
all these incredible legends how they have been able to
predict when the deer will come in because they set
these timers and they throw it out, And yeah, I
tried all that. First of all, I found that wasn't
necessarily true. They're not just gonna come running out if
still they smell something or sense bad or all that.

(34:51):
I have found them having to being able to access
it whenever they want to. It still didn't change much
because most of the movement is still determined by so
many other things. It doesn't have that much impact. Yeah.
Uh but uh, and plus just I found the gravity
feeders to not be big enough having to refill them
all the time. And also I didn't I didn't care

(35:13):
for the maintenance.

Speaker 6 (35:13):
Well I know this, I mean sorry, the automatic one
you go gravity because of the low hassle and and
all that. Now this wouldn't surprise you. We tend to
use the other because it's because well because the feed
lasts longer. Because a gravity you know, they're constantly eating
and you run through it aut But if you're able

(35:34):
to to spray it out a couple of times a day,
then that that that feel kind of lasts longer.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
But yet they're still attracted to I'm not shocked by
that at all. But but I have found that, my dear, say,
we we stay here longer, and we like it better
because it's always there. Yeah, right, and they don't run
off to other places that don't conserve it, right, and
and you lose them to the guy next to you. Yeah, well,
let's praise it out for you know you see. You

(36:03):
see my point too, though, Oh most definitely, And I
hope you see mine. The hunter with a budget you
I ain't got an argument, okay, no, I can both.
I've seen the gravity feeders and they're nice. When I'm
running low nice, I do the scoop timer method. That
means I just walk out there with a big old

(36:23):
cup and throw it out as I'm taking the dogs out.
Have you ever have you ever had that? Also? No hassle? Yeah,
have you ever had that day? I've had it. No
matter what you do, there's always the time, there's no way,
there's always that time. Hey I can hunt today, and
you realize you're out, and hey, we's gonna put them
in there Thursday. I know you's going and all this
waiting and then you go out there with just that

(36:45):
o kibie bag. Yeah, and you try to go there
and just like dump it and you hope it's gonna
be to me, that's never It just doesn't work. Matter
of fact.

Speaker 6 (36:53):
But talking to the to them with the grip feed
and stuff, they said that a lot of guys. Now
it's hard because down South our hunting season lasts so long,
they said. But but in different regions when it doesn't
last as long. You know this, this attracting is really
good about Okay, I know I'm going to be hunting
a certain area day after tomorrow, you know, but it

(37:14):
doesn't have a feeder. I'm in the hard woods or whatever,
and go and put out work and then and then
know when you're going to go back, you know, twenty
four to forty eight hours later, and it will it
brings everything in.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
Now, that absolutely was Yeah, yeah, I was talking about
that day. This is the day I'm hunting and I've
got it over my shoulder, uh huh, and I've thrown
it at the back and ye Lake, I'm about to
hunt here in a minute.

Speaker 6 (37:37):
Yeah, that's when you need an e bike rick. You
slide out, stump it and get back.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
But I knew you were there. But it's better than there.
But the thing we want to do with this was
the best, the best of both worlds because you're investing
in today, but you're also investing in the future of
better deer. Yeah. So just the you know, the attraction
is important and we got that, but the nutrition's got
to be there too. And that way, now this me
talking to you with hunters on the budget, you're investing

(38:02):
in two things at the same time. Yeah, exactly. And
we'll we'll have a supplemental feed that we're working on
right now that will be off season, but this one
even in season gives your attraction in nutrition. So so
so gravity fed is my is preferred for Yeah, that
is number one. Yeah, because you just just the just
the Hey the batter ain't working. Hey it didn't throw

(38:24):
that's that's yeah. And so so all right, something's clogged up.
What's going on? You know?

Speaker 6 (38:30):
The I know Multie even said this with Moultary feeders
and stuff. They now they have the sensors that you
can put in the feeders if you are one that
that that does a timer where it'll tell you how
if it's getting low or whatever, so you don't have to.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Ride out no no, yeah, you're right, And I've tried
all that and that that's great technology. It just from
me what you talk about lowhusle No, no, no, And
like Greg said, to each his own, do whatever you want.
You know. It's it's like when we get people like
I got some of this already, I don't consider been
able to put out feed that ain't hunting. Well, okay,
then if you don't want to or put out feed,

(39:05):
don't remember that. You remember people talking about I ain't
doing it that way. I just don't do it that way. Yeah,
I mean, you do it however you want to. But
but those of us that say it is legal to
do that, and now we're seeing more deer than ever,
and we can be more selective as opposed to. Hey,
I rarely ever see anything, so I start shooting young
bucks because I have nothing to compare it to. I

(39:27):
haven't really seen a deer age or anything like that.
What we've seen when we were allowed to do it
in our state and it's relatively new to do it
in season, is that we are seeing more deer and
more quality deer, and we can be more selective. But
if you're like, hey, I'm against that. Look if you
want to go out there in a long cloth and
walk the trails with a spear, I don't care, you know.

(39:48):
I mean just there's people that do that, right, Maybe
not the long cloth? Yeah, yeah, a mineral block someone
need to consider to Yeah, that's not a lot of idea.
Do you ever look a mineral block? I did once?

Speaker 4 (40:00):
Is that there?

Speaker 2 (40:01):
Yeah? It's salty, it's jeral Cage involved Cherryville. Right, Great
that you look at a block, believe it till you live.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
At This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
Hey, want to pause for just just a moment. Thank
you for for listening to the program and standing with us.

that you know get our content on Blaze TV. It
only exists because people like you refuse to to uh
to fear, you know, the silencing of the truth. Darkness
never has the final word, not in America and not
with us. So, but you know, it's not about our

(40:44):
show only, it's not about even one network. It's about
a family people who believe America is worth defending and
worth healing. So when you subscribe, you make sure that
truth has a voice. Now, what what do I mean
by that, Well, the fact that Blaze TV is supported
by subscription. They're not answering to corporate anything. There's not
some giant sponsor, you know, holding their sponsorship over their

(41:07):
head to say I didn't like that documentary, I didn't
like what that commentator said. Y'all need to come off
that narrative. They don't answer to any of that. There's
no censoring it as long as we have you. So
if you'd like to be part of that, now, go
to BlazeTV dot com slash rick and experience real journalism
that tells the truth. You get twenty dollars off right now,

(41:27):
for as little as eight dollars a month, you can
be part of shaping the future once again. That's BlazeTV
dot com slash Rick.

Speaker 5 (41:42):
John It's time for the Wrick.

Speaker 12 (41:56):
We're broadcasting from the real word.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
Come on, America, let's brand you. I were Speedie, Greg Adler,
the gang all here and we're thankful. Coming up a
little later on the program, an uncomfortable conversation likely coming.
You know, we do a lot of work and got

(42:19):
a great partnership with Big Oak Wrench for boys and girls.
You might remember our live broadcast from there. What was
that November the thirteenth? Wow? Yeah, so later and look,
let's just call it it got out of hand. It did.

(42:42):
But when you consider what they do and you consider
what we do, and that we were there in there
one of their buildings. Brody Krall is on the show.

Speaker 6 (42:53):
Later he is, And so I was communicating with his
staff yesterday on confirming him coming in and all that
Greg and his grocery store was brought up.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
Thanks a lot for that, Johnson.

Speaker 6 (43:09):
Oh did you just look at me confused?

Speaker 2 (43:14):
Grocery store just didn't ring? Hey? When I said Johnson,
I bet it did came. It came alive. In a
couple of words. It was brought up order. I got
a couple of words out of order, right, But that's
the name of it. I didn't just come up with
this trying to be funny. Do you know, though, there's
been people defend you that they've actually sent the way
it looks the entire.

Speaker 6 (43:34):
Johnson's is in front. That is correct, giant, No, it is.
But but on the if you go to Glencoe, well,
I've seen Johnson's is prominent, and I get what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
Now, the one in Jackson was not like I know.

Speaker 6 (43:48):
We're taught to Lee Reid left to right, and I'll
give you that.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
The one in Jackson was not like that. If you
just stood in front of the building, I hate to
say it on that particular location, if you read like
a like we do in America, from have to right. Look,
I mean there it is.

Speaker 6 (44:02):
Johnson's is is bigger and up front. What did you say, Yeah,
it is. It's like, it's it's there. It's it's protruding out.
Like look, here's what it's like.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
This it's it's it's it's protruding out. Excuse me, excuse me.
Did you say, is it not look it's out? No, No,
it's bigger and it's out. Have you ever seen y'all
just say it's bigger and it's protruding out. Did you
just say that the.

Speaker 6 (44:27):
Word Johnson's is bigger and protruding out the word, And
so it's.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
Just like Johnson's john food, not Johnson's. But it's sure
if you read left or right. I have to give
Greg something here, But I know you didn't mean to
say it that way, but I'll give you this. We
ever got one of them, You see the monogram sweaters
and they put like your last name in the middle,
and so it's kind of like that. No, of course
it is, but I mean it's but.

Speaker 6 (44:52):
The initials always that that one in the middle is
always bigger and it's always your last name.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
Yeah, so its just it's.

Speaker 6 (44:58):
Like john But anyway, that that was brought up and
this is the endorsement to promote him that they were wanting.
But this was brought up in an email that without
me even mentioning anything.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
I hope it was portrayed that. I mean, I wasn't
trying to be cute.

Speaker 6 (45:12):
I was just I got it a little in their words,
they started laughing because they went through that intersection or
wherever it was, and they looked over.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
And saw it. Sure, sure enough, no offenshed, no finish
to the Johnson family. Thank you for what you do
for food. Hey great, deli great, that's what started down.
He's talking about the chicken salad. Okay, that's what we
were talking about. Do you think, honestly, seriously, can you
imagine what it's like to be a salesperson for this?

Speaker 3 (45:41):
No?

Speaker 6 (45:41):
No, Julie who who is a salesman for the sales
a woman for this is bringing even bringing pastries today.
It's so excited about Brodie coming by.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
I know she'll go to the pastry thing.

Speaker 6 (45:51):
Boy, there's one that she goes to that that's well
known and we're not going to hate her for that.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
I'm going to go back to this again. And what
a blast we had yes to day with the vox seats.
What a wonderful Another wonderful group of people, Another wonderful group.
There you go. But anyway it is, I'm still trying
to figure out. Look love y'all and people benefit we
give them away all that. I'm still I still can't

(46:17):
get my mind around, and I'm so grateful that you're
coming to visit here where four people work four okay,
there's four people that work here, Okay, And like you'll
bring forty cupcakes. I know you'll bring thank you, yep,

(46:38):
thank you, you'll bring twenty five brownies. It's hard to
get and we tell them, y'all eat too, yeah, and
we try to get them to but they're like, now
we've been eating it. We just brought you this for y'all. So,
I mean, but I'm trying to go, what is the
thought process? Does it sound like there's a bigger staff.
I can't imagine that. This show sounds like it has
a bigger staff. It probably sounds like that it needs

(46:58):
more stuff and there's nobody in the building with us
to share with, right, Are they thinking that, like there's
gonna be like weird, there's an extension to this, Yeah,
and there's other people. I mean, oh, we really got
buck Wild. Yeah. I mean, there's only so much he
can he can't even and he's not here every day.
He's not. Yeah. Now when he makes coffee, he makes
it like his mama made it. Yes, and that's his quest.

Speaker 5 (47:17):
That's what he said.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
Wow, that's that's coffee tell you know, we tell her
what he told me. It's funny.

Speaker 5 (47:21):
No, not how's mama made it, It's how's mama liked something?

Speaker 2 (47:25):
Oh no, okay, wow, so what what's your deal? Back
to the grocery store? So anyway, so we love all that,
but sometimes I mean, like those little honeycakes yesterday. Man,
what a great little product. But there's like forty of them. Yeah,
uh it's and but shot the box of wet wipes

(47:46):
came with him because they're little sticky, you know what.
That's that's thinking those that's that's right, that's somebody thinking.
And I know I'm behind on the grocery store. I'm
gonna try to get that done today if there's any
way possible. I've had a lot going on. So uh
So anyway, and we you know, somebody said, why don't
y'all share with Sweet two hundred? That's not a bad idea.

(48:07):
They're so confused they probably wouldn't be able to focus. Okay,
Adler from Text Nation Rick. If you really look at it,
there's three and a half people that work there. See
that's that's just mean that you know that it's not funny. Yeah,
there's no way to be bullying. But what I'm saying,
do you think, like right now you're sitting down, Let's

(48:27):
say like today, you know, Big Ocus, real serious what
they do, and they've partnered with this show which isn't
overly serious, have some serious moments, but not overly serious.
Do you think they sit down and go, Now, there's
gonna be a moment when your product's on this show
where you're gonna go through, which is pretty it's natural,
it's regret. But but when your phone starts ringing, and

(48:50):
or in their case, when people start donating or come
alongside you, you're gonna you're they're worth it. Right back
to what you said that they are. You know, you
were talking to Taylor Hicks. Are we more? Are we
more fine? Oh?

Speaker 6 (49:00):
Scott Dawson Scotts because he keeps coming in and I
don't know what's going on with Wow?

Speaker 2 (49:05):
And then that awkward moment yes day when I tell
Taylor Hicks we're about the same age and we're eleven
years apart. Right, that was extreme, the older one. So yeah,
that one you'd have thought y'all graduated again, that was
like me complimenting myself at the same time tearing down
Taylor and I didn't mean to, and like I said,
Taylor grade a little early. He did, but that's he

(49:25):
looks older than he is, and I was.

Speaker 5 (49:29):
Older than he is. He really, he doesn't look older.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Than he is until it caught up, yes, and then
it called it.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
Now he has appropriately gray hair, but yeah, he looks
forty nine now, but he also looked forty nine, you know.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
Like, well, here's the thing.

Speaker 6 (49:44):
He has an October seventh, I believe my October third, right,
so he just turned forty nine and you just turned
sixty one.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Sixty one, that was a tough day for him. Yeah,
twelve years. That's on me.

Speaker 6 (49:56):
Yeah, but I think because y'all have so much in
co and you were just like, hey man, yeah, we're
bound the same.

Speaker 2 (50:02):
I'm just trying to talk a little man more, right, right,
is this?

Speaker 6 (50:05):
I'm so glad he didn't say, well, how old are you, bud?

Speaker 2 (50:08):
Yeah, cause he's kind Is.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
It one of those things where like I'll see people
from high school around town or something, and I'll think
to myself, oh, Okay, they look a little bit older,
but I don't. Yeah, I feel like I'm not. I
feel like I still look like a little boy, you
know now you do?

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (50:28):
Okay, well good, that's what I thought.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
Right, that's why the beard is so weird. Yeah, but
but no, Greg and I you remember it was November
ninth something like that. We I think it may be
the ninth. We went back to our home county for
that men's event, and we started seeing all of our classmates,
and I started thinking, what's all these what's all these

(50:52):
old men doing? I thought this old man, you and
I had English together. I'm like, I don't think so, pops. Uh,
but yeah, yeah, we see ourselves. But you're right. I
think they're looking at us thinking the same thing. We
just don't. We just don't know it. Yeah, yeah, that's it, buddy. Okay.

Speaker 6 (51:15):
You know, and you know, Brody has to drive pretty
good business to be here, so he's probably already left
and just heard that.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
I want you. I wonder at any point do you go?
Do we just turn around?

Speaker 13 (51:22):
No?

Speaker 2 (51:22):
I think you know, I could tell by my last
conversation with him before we left. Yeah, he knows what
he's getting into. I think he's determined we're worth it.
So we are prettier than we are crazy. It's court
on what day it is, but some days yes, Okay.

Speaker 1 (51:39):

Speaker 2 (52:12):
Jesus, Yep, yep, yep. Thank you for being with us.
Here's your updates for those of you that are thinking
either gifts or you want to get your group together
from your community or your church and be at those
conferences next year. Here is the latest ticket update. I
just want you guys to know because if you're planning
or some of you doing gifts, So let's go to

(52:33):
Birmingham first. That's the first weekend the twenty third and
twenty fourth of January. There are no early access tickets
left and there are six hundred and sixty general admission
tickets before it is sold out, so that I'll tell
you where you are there. Let's go to start Well,
which will be the very next weekend in January. Only

(52:53):
eight early access tickets remain, so if you want to
if you've got a group of eight go grab those.
You'll get early access. Eight of those remain for Startbill
one hundred and twenty five journal A Mission tickets before
it's sold out. So there's your update. You can get
those tickets at the Manchurch dot com. And like I say,

(53:13):
they make great gift ideas, especially when you're thinking about
a gift that could truly, no exaggeration, have eternal impact.
So let's take a look at the bizarreness of college
football again. So it just keeps getting weirder. The College
Football Playoff Committee, they've now put out their rankings correct. Yeah, yeah,

(53:35):
it was last night, Yeah, last night. A couple of surprises,
a couple of surprises. Here's where we are, no surprise
at the top. There's Ohio State, there's Indiana. So we're
going to we're gonna find out where those two are. Yeah,
this weekend, right in the game. This weekend. Yep, Georgia
is at three. They will be in the SEC championship

(53:55):
game against Bama. Rematch there. Greg's not excited about. He
doesn't want to see it play again. I'm tired of them.
Come on, have a better attitude about this rematch. In
the last few years, how many times we had watched this. Okay, Uh,
Texas Tech at four. I don't know what to think
of them. They're eleven and one, but I just don't
know anything about them. Supposed to be pretty good, be
a good team. Oregon at five. Look at here, losing

(54:20):
your coach, but old Miss still moves up. Yeah, they
move up to number six, but they get the offensive
coordinator back, Charlie Weiss Junior. Lane has loaned ole Miss
him back, and so ole Miss disapproved that. So he's
going with Kiffin to l s U. But they're just
letting him finish. Correct, So Kiffin cannot coach the playoff.

(54:41):
He's done. Weis can't. He's l s u's head coach.
I got you. Yeah, didn't want to do what they
shouldn't want Wise to do it either. He is back.

Speaker 6 (54:49):
So now you have both offensive coordinators and I'm telling
you right now, yeah, yeah, oh missus A is a handle.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
You better watch out for them. I'm just saying, even
with out there head coaching off the turm all of that. Yes,
you think it galvinism, Yeah I do. And you've got
both coordinators too. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (55:06):
Look, Lane Kiffen and his wonderful mind of play calling
and stuff. I know he adds a lot and sees
a lot. I'm not saying he's not, you know, not needed,
but I'm just saying, man, that that that's I'd watch
out for him. Texas A and M at seven, they
actually they dropped four. They dropped four, but they.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
Get a little help from Texas. Getting beat by Texas
actually keeps him from having to play another game. Yeah,
and that's something, and they still get in as we
think at seven Oklahoma eight that's a two lost team.
Alabama nine, that's a two lost team. Notre Dame has dropped. Yeah,

(55:47):
Obama went ahead of Notre Dame. Notre Dame down to ten. Right,
they're only down one, but they're at ten, and then
b Yu eleven, Miami at twelve. Right, Texas just hanging around.
They're at thirteen vand at fourteen. You taw at fifteen,
USC at sixteen. But yeah, the two PC's got three losses,

(56:09):
So I don't see that.

Speaker 6 (56:10):
Two biggies was the old miss that we mentioned and
then the Alabama moving up and leaping over Notre Dame.
But that kind of tells me, doesn't It kind of
tell y'all that if Alabama loses, they're still in which
they should be. You shouldn't be You shouldn't be punished
for losing, you having to play an extra game. I mean,

(56:31):
you're sitting there with it, and well.

Speaker 2 (56:33):
I agree with that. You lose, you lose, it counts.

Speaker 6 (56:36):
Yeah, but I'm just saying, I mean, you shouldn't like
Ohio State and Indiana. I mean that they're going to
be in the top four. It's almost like the top
four is solidified. Unless Texas Tech loses, they might maybe
drop one maybe I don't know, but Alabama going to nine.
And if I'm a Notre Dame fan, I'm a little
nervous because depending on if who wins, like if b

(56:59):
YU beats tex Texas Tech or something like that, you
could find yourself on the outs.

Speaker 2 (57:04):
I will say that a c Duke in Virginia Duke
happened that lost five games, yes seven five, So if
you come on, well, people are saying if Duke ends
up winning that that that may just hurt Miami's chances
to be able to go. Oh but yeah, I don't
think they're in, right. But but if you think about

(57:25):
looking at at this whole setup and the playoff, if
you can just get through all this and get settled in.
Like I say, everything goes back to everybody at zero
and here we go. But if you do not want
your team to be on the bubble and it be
either you or Notre Dame, you just don't. I'm telling

(57:47):
you these committees they've got they've got a special place
in their heart for Notre Dame.

Speaker 6 (57:50):
Right, And I keep going back to this, but I'll
say it one last time. Miami did beat Notre Dame
and they're both tending to so. Yeah, but I know
Miami had that horrible loss late UH, which which hurt
him against what was it? Well, it wasn't horrible, but
SMU was that who they lost to?

Speaker 10 (58:11):
UH?

Speaker 6 (58:12):
And then they lost to Louisville as well. There's your
two losses there.

Speaker 2 (58:15):
How about this? Another update Auburn's new head coach Alex Golish.
The report today is he's keeping DJ Dirk and his
defensive coordinator. That's I think that's a good move if
he'll stay uh And interesting here, when did you ever
think we would read this story? Five star quarterback Jered Curtis,

(58:38):
ESPN's number one pocket passer prospect, has flipped his commitment
from Georgia to where Greg, You're not gonna believe it, Vanderbilt?
Did you?

Speaker 4 (58:52):
Did you?

Speaker 2 (58:53):
Two guys the times you're living in. Do you realize
the times you're living in? Watch out? Things are going crazy.
It's so the number one pocket passer in the country,
five stars. You know, that's what we don't know if
he really is, but I mean that's what they're saying.
Or he's just trying to get more money. Could be
he was committed to Georgia, has has decided Nope, not Georgia.

(59:15):
I want to be the quarterback at Venderable. Is today
sign in today? I think it is? Is it? Is
it the early signing day? Because I know there's one
in February? I think it is. There always has been
one in February. But ye isn't there an early signed day? Yeah?
There is. Yeah, so I don't know it's today. Uh
but anyways, So so there you go. It looks like,

(59:35):
yeah it is. Yeah, there's a chance, Greg, right again,
there's a chance. As people our text nation is say
wrong they I looked it up.

Speaker 6 (59:43):
ACC winners in Oh yeah, yeah, are telling that ACC
won't get any No, the ACC.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
Winners in you mean, Duke would go in if they want.
Oh yeah, yeah, the story we.

Speaker 6 (59:55):
Got there, that's it's sad.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
So it's an automatic, be it. I think if you're
not in the top twenty five, whether you win your
conference or not, you shouldn't go. Nobody from the conference
should go. If you're a champion has lost five games.
And then you look at the NFL and certain devis.

Speaker 6 (01:00:13):
I mean, you've got certain people that don't have a
good record as others.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
And they make it yeah thing what it is? It is?
It is now.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
Yeah, this is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
Speak, pimp baby speak and no.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
The most dangerous ten minutes in radio. Unscreened phone calls
get in tho by dialing one eight eight eight six,
big box.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
Well here we go. Unscreen phone calls the first one
of the day, normally a couple of them. I think
that's about all we can take, but it is. It's interesting,
but costs now nothing between you and the show but
waves and opportunity. Call screener out on the new show,
and we just said, look, it doesn't do any good.

(01:01:08):
Just box everything down. Let's just bring them in here
and we'll screen them on the fly. So the audience
can enjoy that process as well. We must make decisions
about the phone call in real time. Relief Factor, relief Factor,
relief Factor. I got this email right here, a fan
of the show out of Mississippi. I've worked the line

(01:01:30):
cruise like o'greg over there. I'm nearly sixty. I'm paying
the price for it. I used to be a point
guard too, back in the day, but these days I
could literally point to all the areas on my body
that hurt and really stopped me from doing the things
that I love. I heard you guys talking about relief Factor.
I finally said, what do I have to lose? It's
twenty bucks, got three weeks of it, and how about this?

(01:01:54):
He regrets putting it off? Tell you what, I've lost
the pain. I'm three months using two packs a day,
and I feel like I did when I was forty.
I'm doing things now that I haven't done in years,
and I feel like I've got my life back. I'm
a believer. Sorry it took me so long to get
on this train. How about that? If you're putting it off,
what are you waiting on? Go now to relief Factor

(01:02:15):
dot com. Relief Factor dot Com nineteen ninety five. I
take this every day. Every day. I did a little
bit better yesterday I knew you look, oh I knew it.
I just did it a little bit better. I knew,
but I just popped that relief factor and I was ready.
So Reliefactor dot com all naturally, you can use it
every day. There's also a link at Rick birgershow dot com.

(01:02:35):
Go there and click on it. To the people, we go,
let's get started. Here we go. Rick Burgers Show, unscreened
phone calls, go.

Speaker 14 (01:02:45):
Ahead, Yeah, I was talking earlier about feeders and people
do not agree and hunt over food. Plus ain't nothing
like saying, oh, dear, get some corn. Pick out, o
head up, sold corn falls out, squeeze the trigger.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
Yeah. Maybe So that way you've got the venison and
a side already. There. Uh, here we go, we continue.
Rick Birders Show on phone calls, Go ahead, Hey, hope
you're well?

Speaker 15 (01:03:14):
Yes, Hey, I was just gonna call and say I
agree with Greg on the championship games. If the playoffs
layout is going to be the way it is, I
don't think we just have the championship games.

Speaker 16 (01:03:24):
Because they really don't mean a whole lot.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
Yeah, they really don't but I will say this money,
this thing that Duke wins there in that really that's
not solidified. There is a way that they would be
left out. They would yeah, if they could be in,
they're so possibil they could mean, but it's not a guarantee. Uh,
this conference championship guaranteed that that is true. There's a

(01:03:48):
lot of Troy fans that hope they beat James Madison
for the Sunbelt because if James Madison was to win,
then they're ranked in the top twenty five. And then
then the American you got too Lane in North Texas
and that win Ago, So they're all Duke. So Virginia
wins though, it's all they go. We continue Rick Burgess Show.
Unstream phone calls. Go ahead.

Speaker 8 (01:04:09):
Hey guys, this is a Yogi calling from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Speaker 17 (01:04:14):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:04:15):
You enjoy it.

Speaker 8 (01:04:17):
Oh yeah, man, it's great here seventy five Yeah, man, yeah, Hey,
just want to check in with you guys. I'm still
out here listening.

Speaker 4 (01:04:25):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
Are you vacationing there, Yogi?

Speaker 8 (01:04:29):
Yes, sir, two weeks.

Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
Oh nice, man, get back. Yeah, thanks for checking in, man.
Good to hear from you, and good phone too. From Cabo. Yeah,
I wonder if he's going to Cobo Wabo. Sammy Haygar's place.
Rick Burgess show unscreen phone calls good morning.

Speaker 18 (01:04:46):
Earlier this week, we're at the end laws for my
mother in law's birthday. She's a big aubur fan. Daddy
used to be the quarterback at Auburn back in the fifties.
She was at the part and Bowl born and raised.
I am an Alabama fan, and she got on a
spill about how she hates Alabama and she stepped out
of the room and my father in law was impartial,

(01:05:07):
and I hit him with a Hey Auburn, Hey Auburn,
and went through the beautiful cadence of Rammar Jammer Yellow Hammer.
And as soon as I've finished, I looked up and
she's standing in the doorway. Mad I bet, And she
wanted to know why would disrespect her household? And I'm
just curious, what do y'all think?

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
Yeah, you're in her house. And plus I will say
this on the Rammer Jammer thing, which I think is great,
but I do think because of the lyrics, it can't
be an ugly win like that. It almost doesn't fit
when Alabama barely beats a clearly inferior team because it
says we just beat the blank out of you, meaning hey,

(01:05:48):
we we destroyed you. And I think sometimes Bama fans
crank into that because it's tradition, when really the victory
was important, a win's better or loss. But they really
didn't beat the the blank out of anybody. They kind
of won by the skin of their teeth, or they
underperformed and didn't dominate. To me, that song fits somebody

(01:06:10):
sing it sometimes. Yeah, when somebody came into your house
and you destroyed them, which Bama's done many times, and
then it has the right feel Bye, hey whoever, we
just be bam no, and that's it's really cool. But
when you kind of played around with an infergior team
and kind of barely hung on, it doesn't fit. But

(01:06:31):
but I will say this, because she won, but you
didn't beat the blank out of anybody, and you really
should have. Uh but uh, but the but I will
say that you doing that in her house knowing that
she is really into it, you know, like really really
into it, I would just say lacked wisdom, you know,

(01:06:54):
the yeah, watching food, Yeah, you don't really want your
mother in law angry with you since that's you, you
wife's mama, so it just wasn't all that smart. Uh,
and you're in her house, so probably disrespecting her house,
she claimed, Right, probably not the best mood because you
unless you're just doing it to aggravator, then it's hard
for me to be upset. Yeah, but yeah, I think

(01:07:17):
it may lacked a little wisdom. Rick Birder's show unscreen
phone calls go ahead, Hi, can you hear me?

Speaker 19 (01:07:24):
Yes, Hey, this is Gina. I just have two things

Speaker 5 (01:10:02):
Funny, buddy, Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
You know what you need to do right now? You
need to quote Miles Finch if you call me f
one more time. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
Plus, wouldn't I have been there like all year working
on toys true thinking about it?

Speaker 4 (01:10:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
Point, So so there, good point because you'd already been there.

Speaker 5 (01:10:22):
Yeah. And I'm an angry elf, so watch it.

Speaker 6 (01:10:25):
You wouldn't be probably the largest one yea to go
there and be like the.

Speaker 2 (01:10:28):
Man like buddy, I'm an alpha here.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
Also one more time, let me right now, this is
the Rick Burgess Show. Old Saint Rick is coming to

(01:10:56):
town and he's got a bag full of cash the Christma.
This cash countdown is coming and it's here only on
The Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 2 (01:11:06):
Starts some Monday Monday. It is today Wednesday, Bible study back.
We look at job forty one, Levithan, what is this creature?
What's going on here? And we'll talk about it today
noon Central one o'clock eastern on our YouTube channel. The

(01:11:26):
archive available soon after on our YouTube channel and our
podcast channel. Also a new Strange Encounters, Lord William coming
out this weekend. We'll talk about a number of things,
but a lot of you have asked us to dive
deep on this six to seven thing that has swept
our country with little kids. I'm digging pretty deep in there,

(01:11:48):
and I'll have you something in Strange Encounters this weekend.
I would encourage you to listen to make your own decisions,
but I sure would listen, all right. So I want
to bring up something since we were doing the quote
from Elf Miles Finch, which I thought coming up with
this character Miles Finch was brilliant. There's something that has

(01:12:10):
bothered me about that movie. Every time it happens in
the movie. I just pushed through it because it but
it drives me nuts. And I've never brought it to
the airwaves. And apparently I did a little diving deep,
and apparently it has bothered other people, and no one's
ever mentioned it. So let's go to the scene where

(01:12:31):
Miles Finch comes in. It's brilliant, hilarious. Okay, he sits
down and he begins to he's the world's greatest children's
book writer. Okay, and he's come in to save the
day for James Con who's about to lose your job
for putting out the Pigeon and the Puppy Book incomplete.

(01:12:52):
Remember that? Yeah, you remember that. So the first pitch
to my Finch from Andy Richter by the way, who
was on Dancel with the Stars and the other guy,
is something to do with a farm and a It
was either a vegetable or piece of fruit. Miles Finch says, no,

(01:13:17):
we're not going small town rule. There's so much of
it out there to just be white noise. Okay, don't
want to hear about small town rule, don't want to
hear about farms all that. It'll just get lost out there. Well,
we know that, Miles Finch. We just did a little
that gets into it with elf with Buddy because Buddy
thinks he's a Christmas Elf, and it goes terribly bad,

(01:13:39):
storms out. James Conn's in trouble, The team's in trouble.
They get to pitch it on Christmas Eve, y'all go
come up with something. We gotta be ready, and they
find Miles Finch Book of Ideas. Everybody with Me. The
idea they decide to go with. He goes the best
idea in here is a story about a peach on

(01:14:00):
farm and it's brilliant. What's more vulnerable than a peach?
So Miles Finch said to them, No, I don't want
to hear any ideas about produce and farms. It's white noise.
Everybody's pushing small town rule. But then they go that
his best idea is exactly what he told them they

(01:14:20):
shouldn't go with.

Speaker 6 (01:14:21):
Do you know how that that that drives me nuts?
The only way I took it is he said no
because he didn't want them to. He didn't want him
to use that idea that he had already created.

Speaker 2 (01:14:31):
Was he going to give them that idea though he's
there to give them or no, But he's there to
help them, and they're supposed to take his ideas well.

Speaker 6 (01:14:38):
They didn't think they that he He didn't think they
would ever look in the book.

Speaker 2 (01:14:41):
And so is he holding that one back? He was
on the way I took it. That drives me crazy.
Me I never noticed.

Speaker 3 (01:14:50):
Was that part of the joke, like that's.

Speaker 5 (01:14:54):
A terrible idea.

Speaker 3 (01:14:55):
Now here's my idea and it's kind of the same idea.
Was that part of the joke? I haven't seen this
the movie and.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
Yeah, it just bothers me about I guess I have
to go with speedy scenario. He was not going to
share that idea holding it. He's holding that one for himself.
But he's going to give them an idea that they
paid him to come here, but it won't be that right.

Speaker 6 (01:15:15):
He wants them to use the idea he's presented.

Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
Which he's the one that's one of his ideas in
his book that he left right.

Speaker 6 (01:15:22):
But he didn't mean to leave it because he stormed out,
got that because he was an angry little left at
the table, right.

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
So, but so he really didn't believe that pushing small
tom rule would be wat noise and get lost. He
wouldn't He wasn't going to give them that. He wasn't
going to give them that, but he himself would go
do that independently. Is that right correct? Yeah? Yeah, all right,
I think i'd do with the big o'l. I guess
I can live with that. Yeah. But but but but

(01:15:51):
but he's he's there to give them these ideas and
it's in his book. But he even looks at him
with the books. I got that's sights out of my mind,
you know about and.

Speaker 6 (01:16:05):
Well he didn't want to use an idea they gave him,
because then why is he there?

Speaker 2 (01:16:09):
So he's gonna use He's gonna hold back. But they
paid him for his idea, right that he gave him,
But he used mine. But he wasn't gonna give him
that one, right, all right? So I've always hated that.
You know, it drives me crazy. I must not have
seen it enough.

Speaker 5 (01:16:25):
What bothers me about that movie? If we if we could,
I know what we're talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:16:30):
The whole third act, the whole third act, the movie
falls apart. He's fighting the Central Park Rangers. Yeah, that's weird,
Like that's the villain.

Speaker 5 (01:16:38):
That's really the.

Speaker 3 (01:16:39):
Villain, the Central Park Rangers being the villains is odd
to me.

Speaker 2 (01:16:44):
It doesn't make any sense. And I've always thought that
I was missing a New York joke something to me.
How sometimes Sign failed. They worried that it wouldn't work
with all of America because some of its inside New
York humor, But it never bothered us. We were fine.
Is there some joke there that we out in the
rest of America we're missing?

Speaker 6 (01:17:03):
I bet you've lived in New York you know about
the Rangers?

Speaker 2 (01:17:05):
Yeah, because I've never I've never gotten that. And another one,
what about the weird thing with the reporter and the
and and how odd that whole thing is. That conversation
that guy's having the reporter. I find that to be.

Speaker 5 (01:17:20):
Really the whole third act of ELF is weak.

Speaker 2 (01:17:23):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
The beginning of ELK is great, and it and.

Speaker 5 (01:17:27):
It ends week it's weekending.

Speaker 6 (01:17:29):
Well, but they brought in the reporter and you got this,
this this homely looking guy, and and he's attracted to
the field reporter. She's attracted, and it gets real.

Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
We does.

Speaker 6 (01:17:40):
But the only way that can bring that in and
spread Christmas joy to where they would have enough power
is to is to be live understood everybody watching all
that part.

Speaker 2 (01:17:50):
You gotta have the TV bart, I got that, But
that conversation with that guy in the reporter is just weird.
And the anchor, the way he keeps talking about the
news one, and it's just a little weird.

Speaker 3 (01:18:01):
And then there's just a throwaway as far as the reasoning.
As far as the Central Park Rangers, they're still mad
at me for putting them on the naughty list. Okay,
so now they're the main villains of the whole movie.

Speaker 5 (01:18:13):
That we just watched.

Speaker 6 (01:18:14):
I I will have to say this, I don't really
think about ELF and break it down like y'all.

Speaker 2 (01:18:21):
I just kind of watch it as entertainment.

Speaker 5 (01:18:23):
Okay, Well, yeah, you're right, it's a movie.

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
It's a movie about movie. Yes, I don't think I
broke it down the first four times I saw it,
But I've seen it now one hundred and four times,
and I'm looking for anything. I'm really analyzing every part
of it now, right, Yeah, there are you know, wush,
she would have different movies. She wouldn't need the gum.
When he gets to New York City, was clearly told

(01:18:47):
by saying not to do that.

Speaker 5 (01:18:48):
Yeah, and he did it anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:18:50):
Pretty gross too, it is.

Speaker 6 (01:18:52):
How about when he's laying sleeping in the storefront and
he sees good and he starts banging on the.

Speaker 2 (01:18:58):
That's good. That's pretty good.

Speaker 5 (01:19:04):
Situlates is the world's greatest cup of coffee?

Speaker 2 (01:19:06):
You did it? Or when he's wanting to what was it?

Speaker 6 (01:19:09):
Put the star on top of the tree and he
jumps on the couch to try to get to the top.

Speaker 2 (01:19:12):
Of the tree and knocks the whole thing. Can I
tell you the line that that I really do love
ed Asner as Senna, and I still dig the when
he has to tell Buddy that his dad's on naught idiots. Yeah,
but I mean he's your dad, he's he's on the
ninety list. Yeah. No, yeah, that's pretty that's pretty good. Yeah,

(01:19:33):
it's the whole thing silly. The end of the fact
that James Conn thought that Will Ferrell was too silly
and it got on his nerves. And they said at
first he was really upset about how silly it was.
Well said, James Con thought that this is this is
over the top, it's too much. Yeh, been right and
uh An he finally came around to it. But how
about he was a bit did James Con start with?

(01:19:53):
He was like, hey, this guy's over after he's a
little much here, it's back Buddy down a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:19:58):
While we're talking about the narrator in Trans Siberian Orchestra
that makes no sense at all.

Speaker 1 (01:20:04):
This is The Rick Burgess Show, America. Are you ready
for more of The Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 2 (01:20:25):
Welcome in brand new hour. We got speedy, Greg and
Adler all here as we take you all the way
into Christmas in the new year. The Rick Burgess Show
Christmas Party is December the nineteenth, the last show of
the year, and then we will send you off into
Best of Hours and enjoy those for a couple of weeks,

(01:20:48):
and then we'll come back. Lord Willing, I think it
is on the fifth of January, and we'll start your
two of the Rick Burgess Show. And boyd, do we
have a lot planned for next year? You are going
to be excited. But we have a lot planned uh
as we wind down the year too, including Christmas Cash
which all starts on Monday. So take a note of that.

(01:21:10):
Do you should? I read that text? Just not not
all then, not all the details.

Speaker 6 (01:21:17):
Just maybe it may maybe they're wondering the book that
is the audio audio book, like maybe a real book.

Speaker 2 (01:21:24):
I don't know, go ahead read it. I just thought
this was an interesting question, you know, text Nation unscreen
phone calls, hey, bird you there's some interesting people out there.
You're interesting people, by the way. He hit me a
minute ago, and we were worried about how sponsors feel
about associating with this with this show, and we got

(01:21:45):
Brody Croll coming up. We'll ask him, you know, did
he have to meet with the board after we were
there doing the live, show it show it big Oak.
It's dawned on me. Who we are? You never you
ever know the unattractive girl girl that was friends was
friends with the attractive girl, and you tried to find
a way to win yourself over to the unattractive friend

(01:22:07):
to ultimately get to the attractive We're the unattractive friend
and the audience is the pretty girl.

Speaker 6 (01:22:15):
Oh, they put up with us to get to the audience.

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
Correct, got you? Yep? Yeah, so this is uh, this
is off the text where the ugly girl. H look,
look uh a little bit. Let's watch gregy ugly girl,
pretty girl. Greg was out of the room, so I
can't wait to watch his reaction to this, and Greg
would just be kind what you got look right there?

Speaker 18 (01:22:39):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (01:22:39):
I was wondering if you have any audio books you
could sign that Men Don't Run in the Ring that
I could order.

Speaker 6 (01:22:49):
Maybe they're saying they be actually hard copy book of
the audio.

Speaker 2 (01:22:53):
Book, but that's just the books. Maybe that's just I
know something. What I don't know what you say, Like
I listened to you think that there's a DVD version
of Mental right, and I think there are of other ones.
There's audiobook which people still putting audiobook on cassette tapes.
I don't know you're talking about. I listened to Drew

(01:23:15):
Brees one time on yesterday, No how long ago was that.
I'm just saying, so, yeah, you're right, okay, so left
and numbers will be sure you can get with them.
But this is the thing I didn't want you to do.
But less see what they meant. But but but so
I guess Greg is saying it. One time an audiobook
could be on a cassette, which I know about cassett

(01:23:37):
r A c D. Yeah, so they're saying, is there
CD copies of the audio? Okay, why don't we call them?
But there isn't. I'm so sorry that we didn't do
that right there, Yeah, we didn't do that right there
when you could call her and I could, but I
just wonder how that would go.

Speaker 3 (01:23:55):
Well, I've also got some beachfront property in Arizona, right interested?

Speaker 2 (01:23:59):
Okay? By it? So yeah, okay, So I guess that
at one time in the early stages of audio books,
there were c D I think there were. But so
I guess what I why I had and Drew Brees
when I don't know, I don't know, but it my
way here. But no, we don't. We didn't do that.
It's it's out there in the streaming world. Only maybe

(01:24:21):
they can text us back. Yeah, there's no audio. There's
a few downloaded. You can't get an autograph sent to
your mailbox. Let me tell you something great handwritten, Greg,
Now a little Greg, please please stop. There's no that's
not I was just a little thrown by that question. Okay,
how to sign an audio book? Yeah, in today's world, right, yeah,

(01:24:43):
but I just I just too. I like that. But
you're gonna sign next to podcast. This is gonna bother me.
I'm gonna have to call her sign the Okay, you
get that. You can go call her if you want to. Huh,
you just you could, and that way she could explain
what she meant by that. And that's just CD.

Speaker 5 (01:24:59):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
For some reason, Greg was listening to Drew Brees on.

Speaker 4 (01:25:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:25:09):
C D.

Speaker 5 (01:25:10):
Okay, those are different, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:25:12):
You know what I mean? Video version, audio version. Ye, yeah,
that's that's it. I don't know why I think you
gave it, timmy Rick, did I really I don't know.
I couldn't see me somebody. It was pretty good. Yeah,
but Greg that that must have been in the early days,
some massive shoulder injury. Right, we know all about that.

(01:25:35):
I didn't realize that you were all things Drew Brees.
I don't know how that happened. I'll be honest. That's
probably what all right people are asking if there's an
eight track version of the book. That's good, it's enough. Yeah,
are speedy is trying to get the person on the line,
so that all right? Where is that at? What speedy? Hey, Sharie,

(01:25:58):
this is Speedy with the reason your show. I hope
you're doing well.

Speaker 6 (01:26:01):
We got your text message about signing an audio book
and we're trying to make sense of that. Greg thinks
maybe you're talking about a CD because he got uh
he listened to a Drew Brees audiobook back in nineteen
ninety five, and he thinks that that might be what
you're thinking of. So are you thinking that the audiobooks

(01:26:22):
is also in a CD form? We're trying to figure out,
you know, because Rick can't sign air but but but
I'm sure you know it kind of makes sense. So
if you don't mind, would you email Greg at Rick
burgesshow dot com and let us know what you mean
and I can help take care of you.

Speaker 2 (01:26:38):
Thank you so much. I appreciate you listening to read Christmas.

Speaker 5 (01:26:41):
I got it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:43):
I can get Rick to sign the Drew Breesman that
I have and we'll send it to What what about this?
What if we what if you went to one of
the one of the audiobook things, you know, like the
yeah and uh oh she's coming you back? Really? Yeah?

(01:27:04):
Now I'm being serious? Are you serious? I being serious
if I told you something funny with that though?

Speaker 5 (01:27:10):
Oh no, yeah, we were supposed to say her name.

Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
No, well, there's a lot of those in the world.

Speaker 5 (01:27:14):
Yeah, Oh is it Sherry?

Speaker 2 (01:27:16):
I thought it was Shari. Hey, this is the Rick
Burgess Show.

Speaker 17 (01:27:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:27:19):
I would just appreciate your returning my call. By the way,
we were trying to make sense of of you asking
for Rick to sign the audiobook.

Speaker 5 (01:27:28):
Talking oh here, huh, that makes sense.

Speaker 6 (01:27:33):
So you thought we had maybe a CD version about Okay,
what you're hearing when when you hear CD, it's the
best of CD. So that could maybe get confusing. Okay
dot com or Themanchurch dot com. There's a billboard where
you can get an autograph copy of Men Don't Run
in the Rain. But December sixteenth is a cutoff on that. Okay, yeah,

(01:27:56):
just the book. Yeah, it's a hard copy.

Speaker 2 (01:27:58):
I tell her Greg has a a version of Drew Brees.

Speaker 6 (01:28:02):
Now, Greg does have a version. He listened to Drew
Brees on CD. You might want that one. You can share, You.

Speaker 2 (01:28:15):
Can gift it, yeah, you can.

Speaker 6 (01:28:17):
You can gift it through you know, whatever source you
use for the audiobooks, audible or whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:28:23):
You can gift if you want.

Speaker 5 (01:28:25):
She knows she's on air.

Speaker 2 (01:28:26):
Now she didn't. Yeah you're on air.

Speaker 6 (01:28:31):
No, No, there's no CD. So you're saying you want
an autograph. Uh, the the best thing to do then
is just to order the hard copy and Rick.

Speaker 2 (01:28:39):
Can sign it. Yeah, it won't be auto pen.

Speaker 6 (01:28:42):
Yeah, it won't be auto pinned either. It would actually
be him. But now if you want that Drew Brees
hard copy.

Speaker 2 (01:28:48):
To get that, I can get that to you. Okay,
all right, are you sure?

Speaker 6 (01:28:54):
Thank you so much? And I appreciate you listening to
the show. Why don't we hope about it? Confuse you
more than anything, I don't know, all right? And Greg
says roll tide, yeah, aburn okay, he says war Eagle. Okay,
all right, bye bye, yeah, and it's Greg at Rick
burgesshow dot com for anything about the book or anything

(01:29:16):
like that. That's who everybody needs to email. Thank you,
and he and he really stays on top of it.
All right, thank you, m all right? So all right,
So it was it was c D version.

Speaker 2 (01:29:28):
Listen, Okay, I'm gonna send her that Drew Brees audio
book from.

Speaker 6 (01:29:34):
She thought she thought maybe there was a c D
version too. She was trying to gift it to someone.
But you know, you can gift it, like you said,
just by sharing. Yeah, but she wants that autography or
to gift.

Speaker 2 (01:29:43):
Well, I said you ordered the hard copy, right, Well
we could we could do is take a picture of
what it has on audible, Yeah, and printed out so
great when she emails, you'd be looking at that. Yeah,
I'll be sure to set that out. She was very kind. Greg. Good,
when you get that email, let me know, yeah, I
got Okay, anyone else too, you could email and here the.

goal is, you know, I can't I can't rule out
technological problems, but the goal is that that I will

(01:32:56):
broadcast from the ship a few days and be here
with you.

Speaker 6 (01:32:59):
I'm broadcasting from while you're gone, it's Dirty Calvin and
the Boys.

Speaker 2 (01:33:02):
Yes, Dirty Calvin and the Boys are back some days
kind of when I was with you guys from Virginia. Yeah,
it'll be an out, it'll be like that. So looking
forward to that all I'm alluring. Yeah, Adler brought up something.
So I was sent from from some movers and shakers,

(01:33:23):
and I didn't really pay that much attention to it,
and thankfully I was correct. I thought there's no way
this gets off the ground, but I was. I was
sent a text. This has been like months ago, months ago. Hey,
do you realize that there's an Islamic school that's trying
to be built next next to y'all studio? And I'm like, no,
I didn't know that, not not aware of that, didn't
think anything else about it, just thought laughed it off

(01:33:45):
almost probably laughed it off out in the same real
it's funny. Yeah, Uh, would you like to update me
on a news story that you saw?

Speaker 16 (01:33:55):
All right?

Speaker 3 (01:33:56):
So I checked Daily Mail every day just cause it's
got kind of that's got a little bit of everything.
It's got, you know, the big kind of politics, big story,
big celebrity news of the day, maybe a viral clip
of an airplane crashing on an interstate or sometimes, and
I check it because it kind of gets just make
sure that I'm not missing something big.

Speaker 5 (01:34:17):
I'll scan through it, sure you will, and then kind
of go about the rest of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:34:21):
I want you to join up.

Speaker 6 (01:34:24):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:34:25):
I generally I'm not for that, but I noticed it
is it said Alabama, Alabama City, blah blah blah. I'm like, huh.
So I click on it and it says Alabama City
votes no on Islamic school moving to Hoover, which is.

Speaker 5 (01:34:49):
I was like, huh.

Speaker 3 (01:34:51):
And then I'm clicking through and I'm like, let's kind
of I mean, let's really I wonder where in Hoover.
I'm clicking through and I see a picture that looks
like I our building, and I'm like, wait a second, familiar, yes,
And so I continue to click and I realized they

(01:35:12):
voted no. So we you know, we didn't have anything
to do with this, but we were going to have
an Islamic school on across the parking lot. And so
that was just surprising to me when I realized, hey,
wait a second, that's where my van has parked, you know,
I mean, it was that was surprising and funny.

Speaker 5 (01:35:35):
Please look, this is how I figured it out. There's
the picture of what's one of the.

Speaker 6 (01:35:42):
Inter Yes, it's one of the twin buildings. Yes, yes,
so that's how Triplet's actually. I was like, wait a second,
I recognized that building.

Speaker 2 (01:35:50):
Oh man, that funny.

Speaker 21 (01:35:52):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:35:52):
I'm glad to go. I'm glad I got voted down.
But can you imagine the material we're missing now? Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:35:58):
Sharing a parking lot, guys as school update, I just
you know, I mean, it's a yeah, uncomfortably crank my
truck again.

Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
It's okay, Hey, I'm the same things we would. Yeah. So, uh,
we're in Memphis today. This is crazy. Yeah, well, you
know this is the system the city, the residents of
the city, they have They have a you know, they
vote on whether they wanted to have that in their
city or not. They voted today, that's right, probably probably
a good vote.

Speaker 5 (01:36:27):
Give an inch, Give an inch. Look at Dearborn, Michigan.

Speaker 3 (01:36:31):
No other signs, other signs ready to stop the one
hundred year plan, which you know you read into that.

Speaker 5 (01:36:37):
It's kind of concerning. It is, it's concerning.

Speaker 2 (01:36:40):
You know. The thing is if if you realize, right, Now,
if we were doing the show in New York City,
it would have been voted in.

Speaker 5 (01:36:46):
Oh yeah, for sure. Mom Dommy would have been there
for the ribbon cuttings.

Speaker 2 (01:36:52):
And it would have given us great material. But I'm
I'm but I am thankful that that's yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:36:56):
Probably guys, I'm just scrolling. I'm like, wait a second,
talk about that. I recognized that bill.

Speaker 2 (01:37:02):
Yes, wow, So there you go. It would make sweet
two hundred like nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:37:07):
I had a moment in my life when I lived
in a different part of the of Birmingham. There was
a dollar theater right by my house. There was a
dollar theater right by my house, and I would go
to that and it's funny, man, you went to it.
My wife and I actually went to see h She
teaches English and so we went to go see The.

Speaker 5 (01:37:25):
Great Gatsby there. Why did you have to put because
Gasby is a book.

Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
You're not proud that you went to see the It's
an American classic. It is it is, so you saw
the Great gas Dollar.

Speaker 3 (01:37:38):
We have a quote, my wife and I have a
quote that we say, because we're just sitting there and
somebody walks in the back of the theater that we
and the person goes smells like a dollar, which was
a great line it did.

Speaker 5 (01:37:55):
Yeah, it smelled like a dollar.

Speaker 3 (01:37:58):
And I'm I'm going there one day and I see
that it's closed down and a Hindu temple bought it.

Speaker 2 (01:38:05):
Oh so that was weird.

Speaker 3 (01:38:07):
So I've kind of been through this before, but it
when just like something like that just sprouts up, You're like, whoa.

Speaker 2 (01:38:13):
You're not as scared of the Hindu. No, no, no
you're not. Somebody says, the school has been in another
community here in Birmingham for over twenty years.

Speaker 5 (01:38:22):
It is, Yes, yeah it has been yep.

Speaker 2 (01:38:25):
So there you go. H well, there you go. So
uh wow, bottom of the hour.

Speaker 3 (01:38:32):
It would have gotten awkward you know around like you know,
say September for example.

Speaker 5 (01:38:38):
Awkward around.

Speaker 2 (01:38:39):
Yeah. Yeah, I think it would be awkward for them
every day. As much bacon as we can get.

Speaker 5 (01:38:43):
Yeah, we just had summer sauces.

Speaker 2 (01:38:45):
Yeah, it would have been very awkard. Yeah, Memphis is cold.
It's colder here. Yeah it is cold. We'll be right
back Alaska.

Speaker 1 (01:38:54):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. Only in America. Could
these four men do this for a living God? Bless America?

(01:39:19):
This is the Rick mergers show.

Speaker 2 (01:39:22):
Well, thank you for being with US America. We talked
about this earlier today and now we'll we'll find out
from the horse's mouth. You might recall November the thirteenth.
I'm sure he does, and that was, uh, you know
a thing. You know, sometimes things look good on paper.

(01:39:43):
I mean, you sit down, you know, you you play
a little ball. You may have heard. I don't know
if I ever mentioned I played a little and you
sit down and you game plan, you know, and and
sometimes once that that play is implemented or that strategy
is implemented out there where there's actually real live action,
some of it looked better on the chalkboard than it

(01:40:04):
does out there. And so I know you Brody Crohlz
back with us. Hey, Brody, welcome back. They glad to
be back. I think CEO CEO of Big Oak Ranch,
Big Oak dot org. So you decided a CEO because
you had to write right off on it. I'm sure
that you would bring our show, not just not just

(01:40:27):
market with us and let us bring some awareness. You
would literally bring the show to the ranch and you
would say I'll tell you what I want all five
hours broadcast from right here and looking back because it
was an interesting day. Do you have any postgame regret

(01:40:48):
on that strategy?

Speaker 22 (01:40:49):
You know, every game that ever played in Yeah, we
would always have the first fifteen play scripted. Yeah, you know,
because of what you've watched film on their tendencies. Are
you know we I don't remember if we talked about
that that first play that we ran against Florida that
everybody remembers that play where we ran pro throwing man,

(01:41:11):
it weren't perfect and like the safety jumped and it
was perfect. I would tell you having the show at
the ranch was probably like you went out there to
run that play and you got two holding penalties on
the first two plays, and now you're set back at
first and thirty on the three yard line.

Speaker 2 (01:41:32):
It was like, you know, that was a great idea
right to the point we did. I'm just kidding. We
had a great It was so much fun.

Speaker 22 (01:41:43):
Really, we've gotten so much just positive feedback for the
most part about having it there.

Speaker 1 (01:41:49):
But it was, man, that was so much fun.

Speaker 2 (01:41:51):
Thank you for doing that. It was and you know
you you and I talked about it as I was
leaving for a minute, I thought you were walking out
to say, you know, we're done. But but no, it's
that you know, you it's hard to think about it
because you're like, all right, we certainly want to bring
awareness to what we're doing, but at the same time,
we know that can't be a five hour show. So

(01:42:13):
what the show normally does is going to actually take
place in our facility and in the middle of everything
that we normally are doing here. And it was kind
of like you brought you know, when you know a
lot of times you're like, yeah, we're having a family gathering,
but the cousins aren't coming. But then there's like you
get into a big thing like Christmas, you're like, well,
the cousins are coming, and you brought some of your

(01:42:35):
family there, and everybody's like, oh wow, But no, I
thought you guys, I thought it was wise the way
we all did that and decided we got in the
points we wanted to get in, but at the same
time we got out there and had some fun too. Yeah,
so it all worked. We had a great setup there.

Speaker 6 (01:42:54):
Yes, yeah, yeah, we thank you to your I know
you know this with your staff, your it guys from
top to everybody was so accommodating. Well, it was so
easy and it was a pleasure to work with you.

Speaker 2 (01:43:05):
Thank you.

Speaker 22 (01:43:06):
We that is actually one of our If you asked us, hey, man,
what are we like, we're going to say, we're going
to try to be unreasonably accommodating and everything that we do.
And I can't remember if I shared this or didn't,
but yeah, that's what my dad was. When he was nineteen,
he had a chance to go work at a summer
camp versus go the beach. He was unreasonably accommodating and
went and met a little boy from the streets of

(01:43:27):
New Orleans and share what that boy, Hey, he could
change his life. And fifty plus years later, here we
sit due to that unreasonably accommodating spirit. But I will
say their unreasonably accommodating spirit did say.

Speaker 2 (01:43:38):
Hey, we're not doing this again this year. Correct.

Speaker 22 (01:43:42):
I'm not used to like wake up call. The best
was the ones that thought it was a good idea.
I'm just not going to go to sleep.

Speaker 2 (01:43:54):
I think through that one. Did you did you? Did
you hear about we just they just up to the meeting.
They apologize that. Yeah, they walked in there, serious meeting.
It was to a guy.

Speaker 6 (01:44:05):
Yeah, I wanted to show him around because when I
had gone there a week prior to get an idea
of what room we wanted to broadcast out of. I
wanted to show them the other option. So I come
busting up in there and they're in a meeting. So
here are the guy kind of blew people. I was
wondering who about? They said, yeah, you were the guy
you got Tell me I got it?

Speaker 2 (01:44:23):
Do you know how how this is? When you know
you've messed up. You walk into a meeting, everybody looks
at you, there's an uncomfortable pause, and then there's the
person who's leading the meeting that finally says, do y'all
need something? And that's when you realize, oh, why we
shouldn't have come in here? Yeah?

Speaker 22 (01:44:40):
Yeah, I feel like that's every meeting I walk right right, Yes,
that I just introduced myself into, because apparently I have
add oh you know, welcome in you come like, apparently
I have that, And I have about a thirty minute
window where I'm all in, and then about a fifteen
minute window where I can kind of still hear what

(01:45:02):
you're saying. About forty five minutes to an hour, I'm
a straight distraction, especially.

Speaker 2 (01:45:09):
Yes, especially if they've designed the conference room. Good idea.
It looks like a great idea on paper because you
think it's a good environment except for people like us
and you. I don't need to be able to see outside. Yeah,
if I can see outside, you know, before you know it,
I'm all into what we're talking about. And then I'm
really into what that squirrel's doing.

Speaker 5 (01:45:28):
You know, I was always wondering why they put blackout windows.

Speaker 2 (01:45:33):
Oh, look at him, he's really stocking up with the winner.
I thought he would have lived in the other tree. Interesting, wow, athleticism. Okay,
so he's going inside the tree, not doing the standard
leaf thing.

Speaker 8 (01:45:48):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:45:48):
So let's talk a little bit. We're getting to the
end of the year. And another brilliant marketing idea. It's Wednesday.
Yesterday was giving Tuesday.

Speaker 17 (01:45:58):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:45:58):
But you know everybody's nobody's got something going on there,
but you can give.

Speaker 4 (01:46:03):
But no.

Speaker 2 (01:46:03):
The other thing is, yeah, bottom line is people do
get down to the end of the year, and you know,
if you've got money to give, you're like, Okay, I'm
either going to be taxed on this and uh and
I'd rather somewhere like big oats that big oat to
habit versus the government you get a lot more for
your money there, so you know, but you don't wanted

(01:46:24):
to give to just anything. And we've tried to do
a good job of laying out what you guys do.
But if you're sitting there right now, you're getting to
the end of the year and you're thinking about where
where do I need to give? Big Oak is an
incredible investment that you will see return it it. I mean,
when's the last time that you you gave above and

(01:46:44):
beyond what you have and it really had impact?

Speaker 20 (01:46:48):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:46:48):
When when's the last time what you had to give mattered?
And and and with a Big Oak, it will well,
thank you.

Speaker 16 (01:46:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:46:57):
And unfortunately, the needs not going away. I mean just
this week, you know, we get a eight year old
kid that comes to live with us. We got another
siblings set that's coming this like unfortunately, this is not
going away. We're going to keep building houses. We got
to keep and part of that, I mean, that's the vehicle.

(01:47:19):
But the fuel to make that vehicle go is man,
the people that allow us to keep saying yes to
all these kids, you know, and it's amazing just how
much people I'm not going to say, believe in Big Old,
but I do believe there is a believe but man,
they believe in the kid, like they believe that that
kid has a different purpose and a different path, and

(01:47:40):
what happened to them doesn't define where it is that
they're going. And we're just going to keep saying yes,
you know, because that's what God asked us to do
a long time ago. So our job is to go
and do it. And so, man, it is that time
of year. Unfortunately in our world, this is also the
time of year that we get more and more kids.

(01:48:03):
Oh really, the Christmas season, really Christmas season and right
before summer.

Speaker 2 (01:48:08):
That is just man, it's it.

Speaker 22 (01:48:12):
Historically every year those are two major influxes of kids,
and it's heartbreaking to sit there and go, man, at Christmas,
this is what's happening to kids.

Speaker 1 (01:48:21):
But it just it's the end of the year.

Speaker 2 (01:48:23):
It's Christmas time.

Speaker 22 (01:48:25):
Like, there's literally people that can go, hey, it's just
easier not hav them for three weeks. It's easier to
not have to pay for them. And man, where it
also is such a hard time of year and a
hard season for that to happen, it's also a beautiful
time like tonight three hundred and fifty of our family
members are going to get together and tonight we're having

(01:48:48):
some Hawaiian theme Christmas party. Oh all right, Yes, I'm
supposed to be all pronounced that by tonight, and I
still can't do it. Just think about where going to
be able to those kids that are just coming for
the first time. You know, the eight year old we
just got, like, she's going to go from hurt, pain,

(01:49:12):
confusion to we now get to introduce her to a
family that as long as she wants to call us family, man,
we'll be there. And we're going to get to introduce
her to not only what Christmas season is, but what's
the meaning of Christmas? And Man, that meaning came in
the form of Jesus is the hope that changes everything.

(01:49:32):
And we get to do that with a whole lot
of fun, but we also get to do it with
a whole lot of intention. And who knows, Man, that
might be the first Christmas so many of our kids
have ever gotten to have will be this year, and
we get to play that role for them and then
also get to go live out family the way that
God intended for it to happen.

Speaker 2 (01:49:53):
All right, So I want to ask you a little
more about that. We come back. Brody Crawls, our guest CEO,
Big Old Branch. Go to big ol dot org, Big
Oak dot org. You can find out everything there, including
how you can come alongside, and there's there's many ways
to help, not not just financially, but also consider if
you've been called to be part of what they're doing,

(01:50:15):
and many other things. So check that at big Oak
dot org. We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (01:50:20):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. His teachers said he

(01:50:42):
was disruptive both on the football field and in the classroom.
Rick Burges.

Speaker 2 (01:50:50):
Maybe maybe all right, So we're talking to Brodie croll Uh,
CEO of Big Oak Branch. Go to big Oak dot
org to find out everything how you can come alongside
what they're doing. So you set something interesting, sad but
interesting that you get a lot of kids during this
time of year, which there's two sides of it. You

(01:51:12):
did a good job of showing both. I started thinking
and you were kind of hit on it. So there
are people out there and I'm not making any judgment
on their situation. You know, without the right guidance in
my life, I mean, I could have easily been in
the penitentiary.

Speaker 18 (01:51:28):
So but.

Speaker 2 (01:51:31):
I guess what, some of these people that have children
that they either for whatever reasons, they can't take care
of or they just don't want okay, because unfortunately the
latter sometimes happens too. It can be addictions, certainly, it
can be problems, but it sometimes can just be selfishness.
I just don't want to take this one. And so
really what you're saying is they're doing the deal. And

(01:51:52):
this is a lighthearted analogy, but it really is true.
You know, back in before we all had our wonderful
wives and you were maybeen dating your like, I'm not
into this person. I gotta break up before the holidays.
I might have to get them a gift. I mean,
so you're saying, there's a form of I gotta get
this responsibility off of me, because if I carried it
into this time of year, I gotta fret what to

(01:52:13):
do with the kid for Christmas. I'm gonna be there,
not going to school, They're gonna be home. I've gotta
go do this, I gotta do Christmas. And they'll just
say this is the time of year. I need to
get out of this responsibility. And then but you laid
out and this is why I want you, you guys
to really consider come alongside what you guys do You
see that and you go that breaks my heart, That
breaks my heart, That breaks my heart, and it should.

(01:52:35):
But and of all times, Christmas Rehen redemption came to
the world. As you pointed out, there's also a chance,
like you remember speaking, you and I had a conversation
one time, and I want to get into the specifics
of it, that there was a guy and he was
he was a really, really really bad dad. Okay, I
had abandoned his kid and would show up periodically just

(01:52:59):
to bring drama. And then there was this day that
this person finally released all connection to the child and
the child went on to have a better life. Yep.
And I remember saying, you and I had this conversation.
I said, I think this man maya for the first
time in his life so far, finally loved his kid
enough to get out of his life. Yeah, you know,

(01:53:21):
until he could either get his act together and if
he can't, then never come back, you know. And so
there's also the other side as we celebrate redemption coming
too the world, that these children, like this little girl
you mentioned, she's about to have probably the best Christmas
she's ever had. Oh yeah, you know, I bet it's
better than the eighte she's had so far. Yeah, so too.

(01:53:44):
Kind of.

Speaker 22 (01:53:46):
We got kids that come from every circumstance you can imagine.
Every circumstance is unique.

Speaker 6 (01:53:51):
Man.

Speaker 22 (01:53:51):
We have well over two hundred kids that call Big
Oakrange home. The reality is every one of them has
a store.

Speaker 2 (01:54:00):
Man.

Speaker 6 (01:54:00):
Some of them had loving grandparents that just go, man, I.

Speaker 5 (01:54:05):
Can't do this anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:54:06):
Now I'm aging out.

Speaker 22 (01:54:07):
Yeah, all the way to the worst imaginable situation that
you could possibly think of. And there's also during this
time of year. You could either look at it as
I don't have to pay for them, I don't have
to do this. The reality is, majority of our children,
someone chose something over them, like could be addiction, could

(01:54:32):
be another family, could be you know, a new relationship,
could be whatever. Like, someone chose something else over them,
majority of our kids. But the harsh reality of that is, Man, yes,
they could say, hey man, I'm going to choose something
else over them, but it's also stories.

Speaker 2 (01:54:51):
Just like what you were talking about.

Speaker 22 (01:54:53):
We also have a lot of custodians, a lot of
parents that love their kids enough to say I want
them to have the absolute best opportunity they could have
at life, and I can't give them that. And so
you easily could look at it as Christmas season as well.
Of Man, they can give them a Christmas I never could, right,

(01:55:17):
And it's just the entry way. And you know what
you talked about, Hey, man, love you enough to kind
of release them. Like there's situations where that is the
absolute best thing for the child. There's also situations where man,
the custodian parent, whoever it might be, being a part
of their life. But that kid realizing that there's permanency

(01:55:38):
with us of like, hey, man, you're with us, this
is your home by end.

Speaker 2 (01:55:42):
But man, if we can.

Speaker 22 (01:55:43):
Also have a good relationship, man, that's what God intended
for it to be. Well, that was the that was
the initial peace to this whole thing, you know, was, Man,
let's give you family, and let's sin broke that. But
now we get to come back into it and say, hey,
there can be a restoration of relationship at some point

(01:56:05):
in time. And the kids that make it, Man, we're
able to point them towards that. A lot of times, Man,
it's hard when, like you said, people swoop in try
to cause drama, be heroes, whatever it might be. And
the reality is is every kid has their own story,
and that's what we have to keep in mind. We

(01:56:28):
just have two hundred plus stories that we have to
navigate on a daily basis.

Speaker 2 (01:56:32):
They can all be lumped together, that's right, and so
out there as you're deciding what to do, and so
there's the obvious, Hey, I can I can get on
the ground, I can become part of what they're doing.
But being a house parent and go through that vetting process,
which you can imagine that it should be, is going
to be a vating process that we take very serious.

(01:56:54):
You know, Yet you can do that, you think? You know,
I just either am at an age that's not even
a fault for me, or my life doesn't allow that,
but I still want to be part of it. But
then you can financially help support the people who can
do it, you know. I talk about that even when
we do stuff with the lifeline on adoption. Maybe adoption
is not something you're called to, but you could come

(01:57:15):
alongside someone who's trying to do that and help them
financially pull that off so they can take the role.

Speaker 22 (01:57:21):
Yeah, we all have gifts, man, Some people have gifts
of being great business people.

Speaker 2 (01:57:25):
Some people have gifts of you know, whatever it might be.

Speaker 22 (01:57:29):
Not everybody was called the front line, right, it doesn't
minimize the fact you're still anybody that comes alongside. It's
an equal part to pulling this wagon. Like man, support
of us allows us to take more kids. What that
really allows us to do is go build more homes
and impact the kingdom here on earth through a place
called Big O' branch.

Speaker 2 (01:57:50):
So everybody can be involved in some way. So if
you want to find out, go to Big Oak dot org.
I think we've laid out. We wish this wasn't needed,
but not only is it, is it needed, it's increasingly needed. Yeah,
we're brought a good see again. Thanks for coming and
hanging out with us. Always always fun. I hope we

(01:58:10):
didn't wreck anymore running now.

Speaker 22 (01:58:12):
I probably I probably won't be called the boardroom anymore
since we weren't at the ranch.

Speaker 7 (01:58:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:58:18):
Yeah, by the way, we're still waiting on that. You know,
you need to go ahead and get our date for
next year. I like it.

Speaker 4 (01:58:25):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (01:58:28):
Just get out of the room, Brodie Croll, Big Oaks
dot Org. Everything you need to know there, So and
we thank all of you who are already participating, will
be back.

uncomfortable moment with Brody Crawl and Greg. He said, yeah,
you know, when I'm on the show, Greg, he said,
when I'm on the show, it I feel kind of
bad because it seems like when I'm on here, you know,
you don't ever get a chance to talk. And I said, hey, Brody,
considering the topic, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Well look, once Brody starts talking, I mean you got

(01:59:57):
to listen. It's hard, you know, it kind of calms
it down. Listen to what he's saying right here. When
I said, you bring up the grocery store thing. That's
what good I mentioned grocery store anyone. Yeah, I heard
about that. I was a little nervous. Glad you didn't
do him like you did Taylor Hicks and make him
the same age you are. Okay, great, that was one.
That was one moment and do that. I'm gonna hold
that answer me the rest of my life. Well, that

(02:00:19):
just happened, that's true. No, Yeah, he's just yesterday. Yeah,
he doesn't feel so much longer now us many times
y'all pummel me about it inside the audience. You know,
it's like when we were growing up, you know, about
the same age, earned about twelve years between us.

Speaker 5 (02:00:36):
You know, when we played ball together.

Speaker 2 (02:00:37):
Yeah, play a little bit. Look, I hang out with
you know, Rich Wingo is a good friend of mine
and he's older than me. But I don't feel like
work people. It's just I felt like I'm around his aid,
not your age. Yeah. So I mean that's fine. I'm
saying when you when you go, you know like us,
you go, well not really. It could have been worse.
You could have said he was your age. That's true, right,
I bet that would have really bothered him. It would have.

(02:01:00):
So it's Uh, as we start this hour, I know,
by the way, first of all, before we do anything further,
since I'm going to stay on this last topic and
we're moving on, I like to see a show of
hands who believes that we will be asked to broadcast
from Big Oat Ranch again next year? Uh do you
think we will? Yeah? Do you raise your hand if
you think we will? Speedies is up. I hope we

(02:01:22):
do have a little bit of insight on that, do you. Yeah.
It feels pretty good about it. Here's what I'm to
be a positive thinker, and it's something I think it was.
Really we had a great time. We did, and the
whole thing was was awesome. I'm gonna put my hand
up mostly now, do I one hundred percent? I don't know,
depends on how the By the way, those of you
out there, Yes, I did keep Greg's mic off so

(02:01:43):
he wouldn't scream honk if you sack Brody. No is
that he was going to In the car, he and
I just talked about you know, the text people. Sure,
the text people and a nervous record. By the way,
by the way, text people, the guys that was a
long time ago. A PayPal guy. Uh, we we tested
that Big Oak text tested it. Thank you for letting

(02:02:05):
us know, but PayPal shut it down. PayPal donation is
working at Big Oak. So if it's not working for you,
it's on your end. I mean, just you feel better.
I do so basically eat it. No, I just want
to resolve it. I'm not going to be ostracized for
trying to help people. Okay, my goodness. You mean people.

(02:02:27):
You were Seriously, you are always on people. We were
really nice to Brody. I mean, you don't see me
doing that.

Speaker 4 (02:02:32):
No, not you.

Speaker 2 (02:02:36):
So poor girl wanted a DVD signed and you you
wouldn't made her feel terrible.

Speaker 7 (02:02:40):
I did not.

Speaker 2 (02:02:43):
That was speedy. What do you mean so websites now,
I guess we couldn't you want to read that to you?

Speaker 4 (02:02:52):
Just did?

Speaker 2 (02:02:53):
I don't have to. Actually I texted that to the line,
just as your website. That's funny, by the way, too.
I will say this about text Nation, which bothers me,
just a little bit about textonation a little bit. I
don't like when y'all text a question and we answer
it and great to tell, and you texted you in

(02:03:13):
the next day. We answered that yesterday. They they just
texted it, and.

Speaker 6 (02:03:20):
I know you get to let you listen at different times,
but when Brody is talking about how kids are abandoned
and they're taking them in for Christmas, probably not the
best time to say, honk if you've sacked Brodie.

Speaker 2 (02:03:30):
It's not but I know, I know though it might
not be when you hear it, you know what I mean,
like sent it, he might because it's yeah to get there,
and then it's on its way and you know what
you've sent and then you realize what he's talking about,
and you feel bad and you can't get it back.
By the way, I didn't do that. By the way,
if you heard his wife tell the hilarious story the

(02:03:52):
first time she ever saw that bumper sticker, very very
funny story, very funny story. Oh no, I think I know.
Well no, right now, she was on on the podcast
and I saw it and and and they were interviewing her,
and she was she was not aware of the craziness

(02:04:13):
of the iron bow, and he was trying to prepare
her and how every however bad you think it is,
it is worse it is. And now keep in mind,
this was many many years after the Brodi Kral sack
Brodie croll game. Thank his offensive for that. And she's
in Tuscalos. I can't believe what you see and and
all of a sudden she looks and sees the bump

(02:04:35):
streak for the first time, and uh and has a
funny line. By the way, And I asked Brodie did
because he tells that story, and he goes, you know,
it's funny. Sometimes I don't think about her response, and uh,
he says, and I'll tell that story and and not
know the room. He goes, sometimes that people really think
it's funny, and other times, you know, be in a

(02:04:55):
room that's a little more conservative, and and people don't
laugh as hard at it. Look, we've been guilty of that.
We we think the things we think funnier are funny
in every room, and they're just not. No, no, got
another room. I've done that before. Oh yeah, you got
you got to know the room, you do. You have
those acquaintances or friends or family members that never know

(02:05:15):
the room. They're completely tone. If I told you all
that time, and I can't go into it because well,
why are you going to bring it up? Then when
I was at work and I try to be fun, said,
they don't please like here, well, I mean, I guess
I could tell it. You go ahead. Am I going
to regret this? My buddy didn't bother him at all.
I had a friend that worked with us that had

(02:05:36):
accident at work and he lost like three fingers. Okay, okay.
So later when they'd have the safety events and stuff,
they would get some of us to participate. And this
was mostly made up of office personnel. And I was
in there and he was in there, and we were
doing a giveaway and had like trivia questions and it
was like how many whatever. So if everybody tolering that

(02:05:57):
hold hands, well, he's holding his hands up. I said,
you ain't got no fingers, get it right now. He
loved it over but sucked the air out of the room.
They started booing me. I mean, you got boo. I
got boo. But he had no problem with it because
he lost the fingers. And you said, you can't win
this year and the fingers for this number. I said,
you don't have enough fingers to get to it. He
loved it, but seriously, y'all they booed me that they

(02:06:20):
went it was like this huge gas because these are
office people. They don't know how rough necks. Are you know,
rough necks. We like to have a good time on
the crew side. This would have killed Oh yeah, yeah,
no I've been there. Yeah, so I mean they didn't
get it. Was the worst reaction I've ever had anytime
to speak. Yeah, I tried to man, Yeah, I tried.

(02:06:41):
I thought it was a good one. I'll tell another
group that don't have an extreme great sense of humor, Calvinist.
Oh really, Yeah, I decided to tried some of your
religious you know, I dropped. I dropped a Calvinist joke
that one. Laugh. It didn't. They don't have a good sense.
You don't know since I was talking to Calvinists. Yeah,
it didn't. Yeah, they're not the cheeriest. But uh there's

(02:07:05):
a reason they're called the frozen chosen, you.

Speaker 1 (02:07:08):
Know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (02:07:08):
And uh, we get that? Was that what you said? No,
I thought. I'll tell you what this was funny was
when Bubba and I first came to Birmingham, Okay, when
we were brown. Yeah why not? Great told his Yeah,
we we were brand new to Birmingham, Okay. And the
school that that Bubba's kids and and and two of
my kids went on to attend. It was a was

(02:07:31):
a Presbyterian private school, Okay, and it was really it
was hard to get into, Okay. And that's that's where
Bubba and I both wanted our kids to go, and
so we put in when they were like babies, to
be on the waiting list or whatever. So there there
was a there was a ministry withinside that church that

(02:07:52):
asked Bubba and I to come and speak, which means
the people from that church are attending okay. And I
thought it. I thought it killed And so we got
up for you and you felt good about it. And
we got when we got up there and and Bubba
talked about how you know his kids were accepted, and
he made a kind of joke about he was you
know whatever, And I said, oh, I never doubted. I said,

(02:08:15):
I knew that. You know that my kids were predestined
to be in the school. Oh wow. And I thought
that was funny. Yeah, it is, no laughs. They didn't
go well. I done thought it was one not one,
not one juggle. That's a bad feeling, I said, I
never sweated it. I knew they were predestined to be
in the school.

Speaker 20 (02:08:35):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (02:08:37):
I thought that was a pretty funny joke. That's kind
of a backhanded thing.

Speaker 6 (02:08:43):
Most of my here's why these comfortable moments are just
from misunderstandings that I'm.

Speaker 2 (02:08:47):
And then you're trying to fix them. Is the best
part as he gets in the middle of a misunderstanding
and then tries to work his way back out of it. Yeah,
to get something wrong, because I've learned, if it draws,
if it if it doesn't work, just keep moving. Yeah,
and you'll you'll try to correct that.

And I will tell you that I'm pretty much with you.
I'm not a I'm not a huge Guinness is the

(02:10:18):
Guinness World War. We're coming up with dumb stuff, the
Guinness World Record thing. Honestly, I don't have any interest
in it at all. When I was a kid, I
like that book. I remember the book. They have the
long fingernails and all that. Yeah, now we've come up
with stuff that it's just ridiculous. So do you care
to have the Guinness World Record of dodgeball playing at

(02:10:41):
NonStop for forty eight hours? No? Does that interest you
at all?

Speaker 11 (02:10:44):
No?

Speaker 2 (02:10:45):
Yeah, either, that's not something that you don't go look
at him, go wow, that's amazing. Yeah, you know what
I'm saying. Yeah, I just I mean that interest you
at all? No? I mean, you know, we had our
dodgeball you know, we had our dodgeball run back in
the Rick and Bubba day when dodgeball kind of came
rolling back because of the movie and and all that,
and we we played and we had it. You know,

(02:11:05):
we practiced. I don't think we ever went and played
a game or anything practiced. We we actually did. We
sure did. Yeah, and uh and and we buy dodge, dip,
dive and dodge or something.

Speaker 5 (02:11:16):
You can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.

Speaker 2 (02:11:19):
Yeah, just I think I think I've outgrown dodgeball. I don't.
I don't see. What is the record? Forty eight hours?
Forty eight hours, non stop, NonStop, you just have to
keep playing it, I guess yeah, by some sore shoulders, y'all.

Speaker 5 (02:11:34):
They did this. They did this live on YouTube.

Speaker 3 (02:11:37):
They have you can see, and I will say not
great numbers on viewership, not crazy.

Speaker 2 (02:11:44):
Nobody was forty eight hours of dodgeball. Your stories say
they did it for charity too.

Speaker 5 (02:11:50):
Yes, yes, and not not raising as much money as
you'd really like them too.

Speaker 2 (02:11:54):
So this was a waste of time.

Speaker 3 (02:11:55):
Yes, here's part one ten hours, Part two ten hours again,
Part three nine hours, Part four almost ten hours, and
then part five eight hours here to make it the
forty eight hour world record. Here it is them counting
down the last twenty seconds.

Speaker 5 (02:12:13):
And guys, it's just a little bit underwhelming.

Speaker 2 (02:12:15):
I bet they're tired.

Speaker 5 (02:12:16):
It's just a little underwhelming. I'll say it.

Speaker 18 (02:12:18):
Here is just.

Speaker 5 (02:12:22):
Fifteen seconds, so it's eight hundred and twenty to seven
hundred and sixty.

Speaker 2 (02:12:33):
They're not playing. They're not playing. She's of the line. Yeah,
they're not playing. Yeah, I'm looking at some of those videos.
They've got a thousand, right, So there was fifty seven
hundred raised. Six thousand was the goal.

Speaker 3 (02:12:55):
So they didn't even meet their six thousand, even make
the goal with all those people working forty eight hours
just at their jobs. Couldn't they have just raised much
more than that?

Speaker 2 (02:13:04):
Yeow? And you get done one of them when they
get the buckets out standing in the intersection.

Speaker 6 (02:13:09):
Yeah right, how speaking of records, this and a Guinness record,
but it's just in the news today. How long do
you think you could hold a continuous vocal note without stopping?

Speaker 2 (02:13:22):
Oh right like that?

Speaker 5 (02:13:26):
Yeah, actual attacked because we're not stop stop.

Speaker 6 (02:13:34):
Okay, I'm sorry, we have to actually time it were this. Well,
first of all, just let me let you know your goal.
And I sent an Instagram an email to Richard Fink.
The fourth has the record after singing one continuous vocal
note for over two minutes. Near the end, it looks
like he's about to pass out.

Speaker 2 (02:13:54):
Yeah, that's that's a long time. So I need a
deep breath. And this is the guy here. That's that's
when the record.

Speaker 5 (02:14:01):
There's a big breath at the beginning there. How much
is about to pass out? Look at him?

Speaker 2 (02:14:18):
It looks like sweety trying to get some times game.
All right? That what did look like? How about it?
Two minutes? There? Jee two? One second? All right, nobody's
been over Greg, you like you can be two minutes?
I think.

Speaker 16 (02:14:34):
Here we go.

Speaker 3 (02:14:40):
Three seconds, buddy, you made it three seconds. It's been
sixteen seconds total since he started the first time.

Speaker 2 (02:14:55):
It's harder, looks sweedie. Stop stop for real. You can't
standing on you're yellows, goofy butts laughing.

Speaker 11 (02:15:15):
Here we go.

Speaker 5 (02:15:31):
Ten seconds.

Speaker 2 (02:15:35):
Yeah, you can't do it like that.

Speaker 5 (02:15:42):
Twenty seconds that when you all got them.

Speaker 2 (02:15:44):
That's hard. I bet you you're you're vocally trained. Yeah,
you could do it.

Speaker 18 (02:15:51):
I know.

Speaker 2 (02:15:51):
The audience is just loving. Yeah, they're doing it with us.
I told you.

Speaker 3 (02:16:02):
Okay, all right, somebody sent this to me while we're
talking world records. Y'all, while we're talking world records, this
guy is so listener sent this to me. And here's
the world Record part No, wait, wait.

Speaker 2 (02:16:21):
Kind of microphone looks and you now you can maybe

Yeah, oh my godness, get to hell long, Ricket, hold on,
hold no, back to the note.

Speaker 2 (02:16:55):
Did you know that he was a joke? What you'd
be better to go?

Speaker 23 (02:17:18):
I could get a higher note.

Speaker 2 (02:17:19):
It makes you better if we weren't all laughing.

Speaker 5 (02:17:22):
Yeah, it's harder, rick You made it ten seconds?

Rick Burgess Show dot com under the sponsors. You'll find
the link right there. All right, So some other things
today that we haven't discussed, Adler, I'm looking and speak
of these stories I'm seeing video eleven. I know that

(02:20:01):
we've done our part to try to educate the world
on animal attacks, and I think we're also trying to
send which I think is a healthy warning about the
development of humanoid type robots. Now, Adler, you and Speedy
are telling me that what I'm about to see is
not CGI, it's not AI, it's not sped up. This

(02:20:25):
is all real footage of the T eight hundred, a
powerful full size humanoid robot developed by a Chinese company,
Cars Engine AI R in their own language. So I've

(02:20:48):
been worried about. No, it's not how it's not it's
not real. By the way. That reminded me a story
yesterday that I'm gonna catch some flak about. But it's
still must share. Okay, it's worth it, Huh. It is
worried about. I'm gonna take some heat, but I've time
all week, so.

Speaker 5 (02:21:04):
Do y'all want to see. Okay, there's there's one video
that everybody's like this, this can't be real. It's it's
it's so fake.

Speaker 3 (02:21:11):
It looks so fake because they kind of shot it
like a music video where the camera's moving a lot,
and it's so they make the robot with camera movements
look even crazier and so it doesn't look real.

Speaker 2 (02:21:21):
It looks sped up.

Speaker 5 (02:21:23):
This is real, this is all real.

Speaker 2 (02:21:24):
It's not real.

Speaker 5 (02:21:25):
This is real. Yeah, this is a five foot eight robot,
so pretty tall.

Speaker 2 (02:21:32):
Pretty tall. It is tall for a robot, by the way. Yeah,
so usually real herky jerky and all this.

Speaker 5 (02:21:39):
Look at this, it's kicking doing air kicks, jump kicks.

Speaker 2 (02:21:44):
I don't think this is real. I don't think this
is real. It doesn't look real.

Speaker 5 (02:21:48):
I know it doesn't look real.

Speaker 2 (02:21:49):
It looks like a mannequin come alive.

Speaker 5 (02:21:51):
And then now they've got a dude dancing with it
and doing fight moves with it.

Speaker 2 (02:21:55):
Who told you this is real?

Speaker 5 (02:21:57):
The Internet? But yeah, yeah, it's it's getting crazy.

Speaker 2 (02:22:05):
Okay, down the street. I think I could take him.

Speaker 3 (02:22:08):
Yeah, Well the thing on that thing, yeah, it's throwing
punches like and it's throwing combinations.

Speaker 5 (02:22:14):
It's kicks.

Speaker 2 (02:22:15):
Didn't have that robot.

Speaker 3 (02:22:18):
No, and you've you've seen videos where the company is
trying to push the robot over and it stays on
its feet. So if it can throw combinations and if
it can stay on its feet, that's fighting. It's just
a fighting robot. Why are we making robots that can fight?

Speaker 2 (02:22:33):
We should not help.

Speaker 5 (02:22:35):
Yeah, so there's this, here's behind the scenes.

Speaker 2 (02:22:37):
Every movie I've seen, Yep, every movie I've ever seen,
it's them trying to make an army of them. Yes,
to come to town. You think the Democrats wouldn't love this,
especially if they wanted you to stay inside your house
during COVID.

Speaker 5 (02:22:52):
Right, Yes, how are.

Speaker 6 (02:22:55):
You going to get that thing on the ground? Because
I know anything that you get on the ground, you
feel like you can beat your Brazilian jiu jitsu?

Speaker 2 (02:23:01):
How about you can't choke it out? Can you get
it on you?

Speaker 5 (02:23:04):
No, there's you can't choke it out, there's no air.
There's some going to have to use a long distance
whole punch.

Speaker 3 (02:23:08):
You got.

Speaker 2 (02:23:10):
Something normally to the back of the head.

Speaker 5 (02:23:12):
Please heavy bag you how far that bag went? Kicked?
A heavy bag? No problem?

Speaker 2 (02:23:17):
Like well done?

Speaker 3 (02:23:19):
Like and you got to see how they're moving the
cameras all crazy, and that's why people were thinking it
was fake.

Speaker 5 (02:23:24):
This is real. It looks like c G I it
really does. It just looks like I'm watching a.

Speaker 6 (02:23:30):
Robot movie. Real concerning see, the creator thinks he can
control that always. That's why he's not scaled stretching.

Speaker 5 (02:23:41):
He's warming up for human domination, is what he's warming.

Speaker 2 (02:23:46):
One. Yeah, yeah, but why oh boy, some people don't see.

Speaker 5 (02:23:52):
Robot race, Greg, that's funny you pointed out that it
was white.

Speaker 2 (02:23:56):
But yeah, anyway, about a half.

Speaker 5 (02:23:58):
Step Shin's in Startup Engine Hai.

Speaker 2 (02:24:02):
They called that the Honkys.

Speaker 6 (02:24:06):
These things look like in futuristic movies and stuff, which
goes back to what we've talked about for years, and that.

Speaker 2 (02:24:13):
Is these future movies. How they know they know when o'
will Smith was doing that. Yeah, we've warned what it
looks like. I know, we've warned somebody on textonation with
a good one. If the demos can just get them
to vote, oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm here to vote.
You can't turn that one down. Now, you can't turn
me down. Weird weird, weird trans have an age acknowledge.

(02:24:37):
This is a weird transition. You want to video nine. Uh,
we brought this up a few times in passing them
some about the things we've been warning about. This is
kind of under the headline of things we've warned. Does
anybody even remotely want to take on?

Speaker 18 (02:24:52):
So?

Speaker 2 (02:24:52):
What straight up? What's going on with Candace OWDs? I mean,
she's she's a focus on these robots. She seems to
she's has Candice lost her way? It just feels, uh,
she seems to get more odd by the week, starting
to sound more like Coast to Coast right, well even yeah,
maybe even beyond that, because least Coast to Coast they
they own what they are. Yeah. And so she's been

(02:25:16):
saying a long time, all these bizarre theories about the
murdering of Charlie Kirk. Now she's saying there's a plot
to kill her as well.

Speaker 6 (02:25:25):
And she claims that the FBI can verify this or
the administration, and she needs them to come out to
back her up.

Speaker 2 (02:25:33):
She's that's what I heard.

Speaker 5 (02:25:35):
She went from.

Speaker 3 (02:25:38):
Okay, she's she's accused so many people of being in
on the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 5 (02:25:44):
The list is too long.

Speaker 2 (02:25:45):
To name.

Speaker 3 (02:25:45):
And then so from there it's like, all right, where
do I go from there? All right, let me just
blame Charlie Kirk's friends, Let me blame Charlie Kirk's spouse,
Let me blame Trump, Let me blame Israel, let me
blame Okay, now they're trying to kill me.

Speaker 5 (02:25:59):
It's just it's one more. She always has to take
it to another level.

Speaker 3 (02:26:03):
Right before Thanksgivings, she went off the air and she
put out this ambiguous statement saying that now there's a plot,
an assassination plot against her, and she's told the government
about it, and now she's claiming it's it may even
be the Macrone. That whole thing she's looping that in
Macrone's wife is a man. You know, she's all on that.

(02:26:26):
She's looping all of this in together. This is just
a really quick clip. It's funny because funny. It's funny
because she no one's taking her seriously anymore, because she
has jumped to the shark. You guys know the phrase,
And she's jumped the shark. Nobody's taking her serious anymore.
And this is her kind of almost realizing that on
the air on her own show.

Speaker 24 (02:26:48):
But the FBI left me on red and I will
say I didn't go through an official channel and send
an email, and I should do that. But I did
send a text message to somebody very high up who
received the text message no response.

Speaker 6 (02:27:03):
So she's she's got a little bit of crazy eyes.

Speaker 5 (02:27:06):
She does, she's she's she's unfortunately, I think either evil
or crazy.

Speaker 2 (02:27:12):
All right, do you wow there? I'm not a doctor, okay,
but this seems to all start. This part started happening
after she gave birth to her child. On the timeline,

(02:27:33):
do I have that time A few kids? Yeah, the
last child, the last child, But she seems like she's
just had one not too long ago, right, you know
that the postpartum is a real thing, for sure. I mean,
and it can be it can be big time, okay,
and it can really affect people. I'm not I'm not
saying that's what happened. I'm just trying to look for
some timeline there. But uh, it's clear that that in

(02:27:55):
the fact that she keeps being allowed access to her
platforms and all, that seems like the family or somebody
should come in, you know, and say, hey, why don't
we take a sabbatical and I die we'll because I
mean you remember you at one time was a really

(02:28:16):
incredible point communicator.

Speaker 5 (02:28:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's honestly either Evil or Saturn.

Speaker 2 (02:28:21):
We'll be right back. Stay close.

Speaker 1 (02:28:25):
This is the Rick Burgess Show. The Men Church conferences
are coming two big weekends in Birmingham, Alabama and Starkville, Mississippi.

January twenty twenty six. Get your tickets now at the
Menchurch dot com. Be Amen follow Jesus.

Speaker 2 (02:28:56):
All right, so I gave you a ticket update earlier,
and we are headed. There's only eight early access tickets
available at either conference, and that's just in Startble. Birmingham
doesn't have any. Birmingham's right around about six hundred and
sixty tickets left before it sells out. Start will about
one hundred and twenty five. So let me throw this

(02:29:18):
at you and then I'll move on to something else.
You there's going to be a price increase when we
come back after the break. That's pretty standard in conference world,
you know. Is what they're trying to do is get
it sold out and not get down to the last
minute so they can plan accordingly accordingly, So you're accordingly,

(02:29:38):
Rick accordingly, Are you stupid idiot? I hope you don't
speak quick. But anyway, so that price increase is going
to go up. We come back on January the fifth,
Lord willing, you're going to see the price go up
in the final three weeks before the conference is So
go ahead and get these done. If you do ten
or more in a group, of course, you get a
discount there. If you're looking to do them for GIFs,

(02:30:00):
they're great ideas. So go ahead and get all that done. Uh,
there's no reason to pay more for these tickets. Okay,
So so do go ahead and handle that now at
the maanchurch dot com for either location. All right, So
I'm gonna share something and I'm gonna be pummeled for it.
Oh but but I have to talk about what happened
because anytime any of us are into rest, I mean,

(02:30:21):
it works. I know we all enjoy that as we
take on these little odd moments in life. So hear
me out, okay, hear me out, like, let you finish,
let me finish, or wit attack because you are going
to start wanting to attack and let me get to
the actual story. Okay, not not this situation that I
was in. Y'all can pontificate on that later. Let me

(02:30:43):
get let me get to what happened. Okay. So I know,
I don't know about y'all, but my wife, she's not
gonna go very if if her if her nails are
you know, struggling at all, she's gonna go have her
nails done. Okay, in a second. And as we know,
the Vietnamese dominate the nail industry. Okay, I mean they

(02:31:06):
they dominate. Oh yeah, under no circumstance. Am I going
to get a manicure? Okay? I'd like seeing it one.
But so we were so we were together yesterday and
I was like, maybe these things take too long. Take
me home if you're going to get your nails done,
and she's like, no, just stay with me. We'll do

(02:31:26):
this and we'll get some deed after. And I'm like,
I don't want to sit around in there, and and
she's like, no, you need to get a pedicure. Oh
now you know that, let's just call it. I've got
some pretty craggly toenails. Let's just get out. Look, I understand, okay,
it comes. It seems to be genetic in our family. Yeah,
you know, I remember, you know, you get to a
point sometimes you need somebody to work on them. No,

(02:31:48):
get out, get out, get out the sand grinder. And
between a pedietrist in their office is going to a
fancy salon. It's two different things. Of course. I didn't
know what what to expect, right, Okay, So Sherry's like, little,
we'll sit side by side just to look it up there,
and they'll rub on your feet and all this kind

(02:32:09):
of stuff. And I'm like, so, so I sit down
for for the pedicure, and next I get the grind
next to Sherry who's getting a pedicure in a manicure.
I have so many questions, but I'm letting you finish.
So I didn't know what to expect. So I mean,
first of all, I don't know what to do about
the water and where to put my feet. And the
Vietnamese women they're they're they'll whood be into shape and

(02:32:31):

and so, so I was like, okay when they saw hide,
and so I was I started talking there they're so
native tongue. Oh no, worse, worse, worse, Wait a minute,
don't get ahead of me. So first of all, I
don't know what to expect, okay. And so they then
and they'll hit the top of that little thing you

(02:32:52):
put your fidd on, and they'll point to the foot.
We'll get down, you know, like that, and you put
your foot up there. And I'm like, and I look
at Suous. She goes just do with their asks, kind

Speaker 2 (02:33:09):
So anyway, so so they start, she starts working on them,
and I'm like, okay, and so Sherry's over here. And
so Sherry finishes up quicker than me because I guess
of the job at hand. Well yeah, ray yeah, yeah,
a scar tissue there. And so they Sherry moves on
to the manicure. So now leaves me in the chair
by myself this one. Are you supposed to move on
to the manicure? No, the massage chair, by the way,

Vietnamese woman next to this woman. She's just it's just her. Yeah, okay.
And so she's you know, you me another one and

(02:33:57):
she's doing so I'm like, she's speaking some English to me,
and all of a sudden, I'm just sitting there and
and I mean, she's just looking down, and all of
a sudden, I realized that she's saying something, and I
started trying to lean in. She's like, I don't tell,
don't hewl And I'm like, and I'm like dehydrated. I'm like,

Speaker 6 (02:34:47):
She was talking out loud about that and what she
was having to do, and my god, why god, it
was like cleaning out the garage.

Speaker 2 (02:34:55):
Where do you start? And you start stagging it down
on the ground, and then all of a sudden, all
of a sudden, she gets out some kind of lotion
and starts rubbing my feet and then rubbing like my calves.

She slack like, you know, she like hit me pretty hard,

trying to move it, and then she.

Speaker 5 (02:35:47):
Then she wasn't moving.

Speaker 2 (02:35:49):

But why that?

Speaker 2 (02:36:32):
Why was she like hitting me? What does it mean

google that. Yeah, And because I don't like, she's gonna
look well after after it was over, Sherry said, Oh no,
that's just they do that. I'm like, but why why

Speaker 5 (02:39:01):
Did you did you hear this in Vietnamese?

Speaker 3 (02:39:04):
By the way, I've got a quick quick of Vietnamese,
because I don't know if we should see if you recognize.

Speaker 5 (02:39:09):
This phrase, Rick should know that that salve that means
bad foot? Why god?

Speaker 18 (02:39:18):
Why?

Speaker 4 (02:39:20):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:39:20):
By the way, you're right, I did that? Did sound
similar bad foot? I think I am? Yeah. But there
were times where she would like there was times she
would take my foot or or my like shin calf area,
and she would take her thumb and put so much
pressure on it, and she'd almost look at me like
you like you think you can take the hair out?

(02:39:42):
How much pressure can you take?

Speaker 6 (02:39:43):
Like?

Speaker 2 (02:39:44):
I don't know if she was looking for a safe word.
I don't know what was going on. It was, and
she kept getting on me to the fact when you startle,
I would sit up in the chair back in a chair,
you lean back, And I was like, okay, so it
was I.

Speaker 6 (02:39:57):
Felt like that, Like it just felt like did it
draw attention to everybody else in there? Or was it
just an average day? Well she kept looking at me like,
well you quit. But I just felt like I had
kind of I hate to say it, that I wouldn't
in control, you know, I'm like you are.

Speaker 2 (02:40:12):
It was a little bit. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (02:40:16):
So could other coworkers hear her talking where they communic
too low?

Speaker 2 (02:40:21):
It was it was a mumbling to herself. She was
thinking herself. She might have thought your feet were their
own person, you know, just had like conversation. Is it
possible she was talking to my feet, trying to talk
the fungus out. Okay, exorcism or something, those two big toes.
I just don't know. It's it just I've tried so
hard to just getting hard, harder to maintain, and they're

(02:40:43):
so and the nails are so thick. You rick, you
don't have to break it down. Yeah, get like she
went to get like a special clipper, having grind.

Speaker 5 (02:40:55):
That was chicken feet, all right.

Speaker 2 (02:40:57):
So yesterday on the program, I just was it was
a kind of a. I didn't expect it to go
the way it went, and I probably won't even go
back till next week. Does Gary know about this?

Speaker 1 (02:41:08):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (02:41:09):
Oh, Gary, Gary gotta say right around his on his
on his electric bike, that's mean you're not masculine because
you're on an e box. Well, then it doesn't mean
you're not masculine if you get a pedic that's so,
that's the same, that's the same. A lot of people
couldn't got through that once she started making it physical. Well,
it was some feet for you. It took a level

(02:41:30):
of toughness to get through it, not be wanting to
work through. A couple of times she had ald that
foot and she was, she was, it was hurting.

Speaker 3 (02:41:37):
Actually a mighty good I have video of her seeing
your feet for the first time and reacting to it.

Speaker 5 (02:41:41):
I found it.

Speaker 2 (02:41:42):
Here we go, so here it is get old, never
gets so that in the farts sound never not funny. Sorry, sadly,
that's what you're gonna play. So we had the story
about the results of the physical yesterday. We didn't get
to it. But Trump's gonna let us know. Trump didn't

(02:42:03):
take a physical. It looked at it like everything was fine, No, no,
best they've ever think of. But now, and I'm on
seriously that who cares about the politics of all this?
I'm just amazed. I mean, let me just completely amazed.
Maybe I'm amazed is that anybody that is a Democrat

(02:42:24):
strategist Megan Hayes, that anybody could with a straight face
discuss the concerns of an aging president. If I was
a Democrat and this topic came up, I would just
shut my mouth. Yeah, I would say I got nothing
to say on this now. But they don't. It's almost like,
do they think we don't, like we have no memory,

(02:42:44):
that none of us remember Biden or anything. First of all,
here's Trump video one A talking about his physical and
making sure we know that it went well by the way.

Speaker 13 (02:42:56):
I took my physical I got all a's everything. But
they said to me, would you like to take a
cognitive test? I said, is it hard?

Speaker 10 (02:43:07):
They said yes.

Speaker 13 (02:43:09):
I said, well, I'm a very smart person. Who is
the last president to tech one? No president has ever
agreed to tech one.

Speaker 7 (02:43:18):
Because when you.

Speaker 13 (02:43:19):
Get into the mid questions, meaning in ten question number ten, eleven, twelve,
twenty eight, thirty, they get harder and harder and they said,
would you like to do it? I said, well, no
reason to do it. Nobody's ever done it. I'll do
it maybe, but there's really no reason.

Speaker 5 (02:43:38):
They said.

Speaker 13 (02:43:39):
So the problem is this is Walter Reed Hospital and
that's a military hospital, and that means that things are,
you know, foot of open. It's that like private where
you have. If you do poorly, we'll have to probably
you'll you'll find out. I said, I want do poorly.
I'm a smart person. I'm not a stupid person, and

(02:44:02):
I don't think I will tell you I ased it right,
SUSI I aste, I got every question right.

Speaker 5 (02:44:08):
Hate it.

Speaker 2 (02:44:09):
So he did take the cognitive test.

Speaker 5 (02:44:10):
That's from what I understand him saying, just.

Speaker 2 (02:44:12):
That, Okay, now it's not stupid. I don't think it
determines if you're stupid. No, maybe I'm wrong. I mean,
I don't think it's a recall. The cognitive test is
not whether you're a smarter studient.

Speaker 1 (02:44:26):
Test.

Speaker 2 (02:44:28):
Yeah, that's take it. I'm very person. Yeah, I did
better than anyone history of the world. Somebody please tell
me that. Megan Hayes does not say what she's about
to say. Yeah, how can you look at yourself in
the mirror. How can you go out in the light
and talk to other human beings that have any awareness whatsoever.

(02:44:48):
Here's Meghan Hayes saying, it's an undeniable fact that Trump
is aging, and she's concerned.

Speaker 25 (02:44:53):
All right, all right, this is a real concern that
he falls asleep during press conferences. And who is you know,
who is making these decisions. It's the last person in
his ear makes the final decisions or or testing that
they're doing, and focused groups of what you know, targets.

Speaker 5 (02:45:06):
The most hate is what.

Speaker 25 (02:45:07):
He seems to say out loud, regardless if it has
anything to do with the actual policy at hands. So,
you know, I think that the American people are starting
to see more of this, and I think that this
will come to fruition in the midterms because Trump's not
on the ticket anymore and Republicans who are not standing
up to him and not pushing back on all of
these disgusting attacks and disastrous actions, they're going to lose
their reelection and they will lose control of Congress.

Speaker 2 (02:45:30):
We'll see. But I love how they did.

Speaker 6 (02:45:32):
They got pictures that they don't need to call him
in the middle of a blank who knows, now, I
did hear an interview with Bill O'Reilly, and I'm.

Speaker 5 (02:45:39):
Sorry, really quick, the importance of hearing from her. Megan Hayes.

Speaker 3 (02:45:44):
Megan Hayes was a white White House strategist. Strategist, however
you say that word. She worked in the Biden She
worked in the Biden White House. You guys remember at
Easter when Biden was talking to the press and they
were trying to keep them away from the press, and
a person in a buddy cat a bunny costume came
up to Biden.

Speaker 5 (02:46:01):
That's who that was. She was the bunny.

Speaker 3 (02:46:05):
She was in one of the people working in the
White House covering up Biden's decline. That's who we just
heard from. That was a clip from MS NOW, which
used to be MSNBC, which really should be called ms
d n C. So that's just to give you some
background on who we just heard from.

Speaker 5 (02:46:23):
The bunny. We heard from the bunny.

Speaker 6 (02:46:25):
You heard from the bunny that was directing Biden around.

Speaker 2 (02:46:27):
But Bill O.

Speaker 6 (02:46:28):
Raley said, he talks to I think President Biden a
couple of times, a couple of mornings a week or whatever. Biden,
I'm sorry, he talks to Trump a couple of mornings
a week, and he's talked about how sore his hand
gets sometime, how many hands he shakes throughout the day.
He's constantly working a line shaking a hand, So it
could be the swelling of the hand or the discoloration

(02:46:49):
that everybodys talking about is from all the handshakes. But
Bill o' rally even said that a month ago, I
was like, his hand is is just album.

Speaker 2 (02:46:57):
I don't want to hear from a person who hid
in a bunny suit to direct a sitting president say
they're concerned about the aging of any president because they
weren't concerned about the aging of Biden. So shut up,
We'll be back.

dream bounce back, officers released the raccoons back into the wild.

Speaker 2 (02:50:04):
We can't put this raccoon back out. He's got a
drinking problem. Footage of him turning one. But those little

Yeah to get away car. By the way. We got
to do something about raccoons. We've got there's a raccoons store.
You ask how many raccoons stores. We've done a lot
of raccoons.

Speaker 6 (02:50:47):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:50:47):
Now, let's go to the pet rabbit in three b here.
Uh well great, I'm glad you you asked. CBS Chicago
will tell us. But uh, we've got we we We've
got the Georgia family that was saved from a house
fire by a pet rabbit. Would you like to know
how family? Yeah? I would.

Speaker 21 (02:51:08):
There we go, and Georgia has a lot to be
thankful for this year, including their pet rabbit who might
have just saved their lives. Earlene River says she was
asleep Thursday night when she suddenly heard a loud thumping
coming from her rabbit's cage bumper insa the kitchen.

Speaker 5 (02:51:25):
Where the fire was. He knew something was happening, and
he started.

Speaker 2 (02:51:28):
Jumping and jumping.

Speaker 21 (02:51:30):
That was enough to get River, her sister, and their
mother out of the home before the fire spread. Investigators
say the fire started on the back porch where the
family had gathered around a warming fire after Thanksgiving. They
say the fire was not completely put out.

Speaker 2 (02:51:45):
Oh standard procedure smokey bear to lose his mind. Yeah,
we always make sure I always don't leave something hot.
So the rabbit started something like thumper on Bambi, woe
to get trunk, Get me out of the cage, Give
me out of the cage.

Speaker 5 (02:52:02):
He started thumping.

Speaker 2 (02:52:04):
Okay, you've lost all credibility, but you've lost all credibility
on your policing accents.

Speaker 5 (02:52:12):
Yeah, sorry about that.

Speaker 2 (02:52:13):
Okay, the yeah, I mean, did they thumping like that,
like just making noise, like, get me out of here.

Speaker 6 (02:52:20):
Something's wrong, something like that. Racket right, wake up.

Speaker 2 (02:52:24):
Pet rabbit inside mm hmm in a ca like it.
He's in a cage.

Speaker 5 (02:52:29):
Rabbits are bad pets.

Speaker 2 (02:52:30):
By the way. I'm sorry you know. Here we go.
We had one briefly when the kids were little. How
did that go?

Speaker 3 (02:52:39):
Not?

Speaker 2 (02:52:39):
Well? Did it?

Speaker 5 (02:52:40):
Was it nice?

Speaker 2 (02:52:41):
Not really?

Speaker 5 (02:52:44):
And when you when you held it, would it just
sit still for you?

Speaker 2 (02:52:47):
No, it starts squirming, scratching.

Speaker 5 (02:52:48):
Okay, thank you for proving that's what I'm talking about. People.
I worked at the pet store. People come in, Oh,
we want to flip you bunny. We want to flip
your bunny, pet rabbit.

Speaker 2 (02:52:58):
That's how they said it, Yeah, what about it saving
you from a house fire. I don't see anybody commenting
on that.

Speaker 5 (02:53:03):
Well, that this is I think one of the rare cases.

Speaker 3 (02:53:06):
Because a rabbit you have to be careful how you
hold it, because their their back legs can kick so
hard if you're kind of just holding it up, it
can actually break its own back.

Speaker 5 (02:53:18):
Well, they're not easy pets to have.

Speaker 3 (02:53:20):
Those time will scratch you, they will cut you, and
they can also struggle so much to get out of
your hands. They can kick and break their own back.
There are difficult pets to have. I don't recommend them.

Speaker 6 (02:53:31):
I don't recommend Let Greg hold you and you demonstrate
that's what I'm talking.

Speaker 2 (02:53:34):
About if it breaks us back. So does anybody think
that this possibly was not a pet raising it raising
it for kind of like you do hogs. Was there
more than one rabbit in there? I don't know, no one,

(02:53:55):
but I'm talking about Oh you think you think it
might have been on the menu done that few days?

Speaker 5 (02:54:00):
Oh no, I don't know rabbits.

Speaker 3 (02:54:05):
Yeah, what if the rabbit was really just like not
even didn't know about the fire, He was just hanging
out by himself.

Speaker 2 (02:54:10):
Yeah, thumping well woke her up, So that's good. Yeah,
that's good night.

Speaker 5 (02:54:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:54:16):
What if he's just always trying to escape? Just this
time it happened to work. You know, he set the fire,
but it might have been good timing the Yeah, I
don't think we ever tried a rabbit pet? Do you
love animals? Rick? Let me much? I love him. I
got myself an animal that can break its own back
trying to escape from him as I clutch it and
love on it. That made me I love animals. I've

(02:54:39):
got it in a holding pan over here.

Speaker 5 (02:54:41):
I never had a pet rabbit or pet bird.

Speaker 2 (02:54:43):
It could be bouncing around under and getting in a
you know, it's burrow out in the wild and enjoying
stretching those hopping legs. But I'm gonna hold it over
here some chicken wire and let it lay in there
in its own dunge. I love animals. Yes, Has anybody
ever had a successful rabbit thing? Everybody I've ever known
bond with a rabbit. Anybody that I've ever known that

(02:55:03):
had a pet rabbit. It was a very short term thing.
To hear that one. I've had it twenty years. What
happened to yours? It went on in. What do you
mean like, I just did you assist? No kids come?
I woke me up one morning, said it ain't after moving?
That was it?

Speaker 15 (02:55:20):
There?

Speaker 2 (02:55:21):
He went by the way. I was sad by the way.
Somebody's asking a good question. Did they did the rabbit
get out?

Speaker 6 (02:55:28):
It was holding she was holding it.

Speaker 2 (02:55:29):
I think I didn't say that. Oh yeah, holding it.
I didn't see that. I saw a fireman with presents.
I did. Oh, I thought she was Was it not white?
Was she not holding it? I can't tell.

Speaker 4 (02:55:40):

But I've I've realized that he realizes, even though I
think he even likes his dog. But it's it's always

their every turn.

unscreen Phone Calls, Go ahead.

Speaker 11 (03:03:23):
Hey, guys, when you were sitting at the drawing board
last December for this show, did you ever think that
an old guy with a bunch of patches and unscreen
phone calls would be a big part of it?

Speaker 7 (03:03:33):
I did not.

Speaker 2 (03:03:34):
No, I did not.

Speaker 21 (03:03:35):
You know, you.

Speaker 1 (03:03:38):
I know.

Speaker 2 (03:03:38):
Isn't that weird? I mean you just never know what's
what's gonna click, what's gonna work? Rick Burgess Show, unscreen
phone Calls Go ahead?

Speaker 8 (03:03:47):
Well, yeah, a college football playoff rankings.

Speaker 17 (03:03:50):
Do you think the committee looks at matchups when they
do rankings or do they just rank them?

Speaker 2 (03:03:56):
You mean like what the playoff would look like and
they take that into account. So would people be intrigued
with these matchups? Correct?

Speaker 1 (03:04:03):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (03:04:03):
If they don't, they probably should. I mean, frankly, I mean,
if it's all about garnering the biggest audience because I
don't know what it was. I really don't. Greg and
I have been upset with ourselves about it. Speedy, I
don't know where you ended up on this or Addler.
We were underwhelmed by the matchups last year, and I
expected to be just so fired up and and I
kind of found myself a little underwhelmed.

Speaker 17 (03:04:25):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (03:04:26):
You know, maybe there aren't as many good teams as
we thought. Maybe it does boil down. There's only about
four yeah. Uh and and they just pretty much pummeled
by that. Uh we we we continue Rick Birder's show.
Unscreen phone calls.

Speaker 11 (03:04:38):
Go ahead, Hey, how are y'all doing good?

Speaker 18 (03:04:42):
Hey?

Speaker 11 (03:04:43):
Quick question at the grocery store etiquette, when you're standing
the line whose responsibility is to put the divider on
the conveyor belt, is that you are the person behind
you to stop the difference?

Speaker 2 (03:04:55):
Well, step out and taking myself. Yeah, you no surprise
at all. I'm sure I'm always the person that gets
it and puts it down there because I'm ready for action.
I mean, really, we got to get this going. And uh,
I think I think though the responsibility probably if you
looked at the fine print would be on the person
in front of you. But I find myself always doing

(03:05:16):
it right. They may have been going to do it, yeah, yeah,
and a lot of times they might not have anybody
behind them when they start.

Speaker 3 (03:05:23):
So the person coming right, yeah, when you're coming in
and okay, I need to put that down, especially if
they've moved forward to pay.

Speaker 2 (03:05:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:05:30):
Yeah, you know who's in range? Yeah, who's got accents?

Speaker 2 (03:05:35):
Yeah, because the minute I show up, all I'm doing
is doing everything I can to move us through. This
is on the edge when it's really not enough for
me to put anything up there. Yes, I can't wait. Yeah.
By the way, I start taking things out of my
out of my buggy when there's no room for it.

Speaker 16 (03:05:50):
Really.

Speaker 5 (03:05:50):
Yeah, Yeah, he's too.

Speaker 2 (03:05:51):
I understand where he's from. Yeah, I mean I see
the grocery store situation right through the eyes of a
two year old.

Speaker 5 (03:05:58):
I saw some bread that I forgot to get bread yesterday.
So I just put the divider on the other side
and just take that. That's called stealing.

Speaker 2 (03:06:09):
Ezra Rick Bird your show unscreened phone calls, go ahead,
Good morning, fellows.

Speaker 5 (03:06:14):
How are you all?

Speaker 2 (03:06:15):
We're good? I hope you're will I'm good. All.

Speaker 20 (03:06:19):
This talk about bears and rabbits makes me think about
the Eddie Murphy joke about the two bears in the woods.

Speaker 11 (03:06:24):
Do y'all remember that?

Speaker 24 (03:06:25):
I do not?

Speaker 2 (03:06:26):
Oh, careful, go with it, great, don't don't encourage that.
Don't encourage that. I'm sure it's nasty. Said, I'm curious
about the bear and rabbit.

Speaker 5 (03:06:38):
Oh, I got it right here.

Speaker 2 (03:06:44):
The bear after the rabbit if.

Speaker 3 (03:06:45):
He has problems with you know, oh yeah, sticking to
his spur, and the rabbit says no.

Speaker 5 (03:06:50):
So the bear picks up the rabbit and white with
Get it.

Speaker 1 (03:07:00):
Is the Rick Burgers Show. Don't forget the Wednesday Bible
study today at noon Central Time on The Rick Burger
Show YouTube channel.

Speaker 2 (03:07:19):
All right, so don't forget that today. Let's come out
a little bit later on either live or archive. We
will be talking about Leviathan today. What in the world
is God's showing job? And we'll talk to you about
that in job forty one today and make some other
points about it too. So we were talking about grocery
store etiquette a little bit and unscreen phone calls. So

(03:07:43):
this happened yesterday, and I want to ask you guys,
where you are on this because it's good. I mean,
you know, the goal is get in the store, get
what you came for, get out unless you take our
mom to the grocery store. And then I've been told
by you guys that she's enjoying being out, so don't

(03:08:05):
don't rush her and all that. And and I'm not
getting an opportunity much to show that I can do
that because Mom had enough of it and she only
let's great take her now. So so first of all,
I won't even talk about the flow of traffic that's
going on in grocery stores right now because none of
y'all seem to be able to get it. Crazy. We listen,
we clearly start to produce, and let's run down the aisles,

(03:08:30):
and if you need to cut to an owl, that's fine.
But you know, some of y'all this is all pretty
simple stuff. We're in America state of the right, Okay.
Allow people to come through, by the way, I don't
know why we start stocking shelves and block half the
owl in the middle of the day, Okay, don't I

(03:08:51):
thought we did all this stuff overnight back in the
stocking days. Yeah, yeah, So any all that's different and
you got to deal with the ones that are the
pickup groceries, and they got a big carts and they're
getting fill in the orders, so they get to pick up.
You got to deal with the walk out to you.
Two things happened yesterday. First of all, two things happened yesterday. Rick.

(03:09:17):
Everybody you're around, they do not live the way the
three guys live. The way you work, the who you
work with, okay, and then you're close circle of friends
outside treat them a little different. So I'm standing there,
and of course I get over to the deli and
the rod tissary. Chickens aren't ready.

Speaker 6 (03:09:37):
Of course you go tadle on them like last time,
yes said. I said, hey, hey, you dealing with the chickens.

Speaker 2 (03:09:44):
Oh? He looks at me. Well, I mean I could.
I said, how much long on these chickens? I see
them rotating back there? How much longer they got? How
much longes the chickens got? Are you aggressive? Well, I'm
just wanting to know, And he says five minutes m hm.
So Sherry says, hey, I'm gonna go ahead and go
start to the store. You you stay here and be
chicken man. There's probably lusty toes look good. Probably thank you.

(03:10:09):
There's probably twelve chickens rolling. Okay, I've got my own
and I'm not gonna let anybody forget about it. Okay, hey,
but you chicking chicken. It's been five and so h
So anyway, people start getting in line behind me. They
want chickens to good. Thing you didn't getting worried. So

(03:10:29):
I did something and I realized people are just like
So one woman comes up here, she's in the number
two slot. I'd like to see her get in line
standing there right next to me. It's former line here,
she's coming in on you. I was clearly here first.
And now another guy walks up. Everybody's kind of getting
in a more of a pod, and I'm like, hey,

(03:10:49):
let's let's let's get in the line, moving on and
uh I first chicken go And so all of a sudden,
this one guy walks up and that makes four. So
what's going on with the chickens? I said, I only
got three? And look look at it. He goes really
and I said, and I said, I mean we're all

(03:11:11):
going out to fight for it. I guess look look
and he just stands there for a minute. Find the
woman turn and goes, I don't know why he's saying this,
but there's like twelve chickens and and and so. So
the guys like, I said, you got looks at. I said, yeah,
I was just messed we and he just like, why
why would you do that? People know you? And so anyway,

(03:11:31):
so I eventually get my chicken, and then people start
getting real specific. I want the Mojo one. I want
the Mardi Gras one, you know, and lemon pepper, and
I'm like, just original. And so so I get I
get my chicken and I'm rolling. Okay, I'm carrying it
in your little thing, right. I find Sherry. We catch up.

(03:11:52):
She's working through the store correctly. So we we get
to the checkout. So I see, I don't like the
way it looks. The lines are not moving. I don't
feel good about it. And I noticed that a woman
is in a very short line, but the cashier has
the light cut off. That means no more. And I said,

(03:12:13):
su're getting that night there, And she goes, she didn't
have any deal with it. I said, no, if we
get in there behind her, she can't. She can't just
walk off. You get in trouble. I mean, she won't
and uh and so uh and got my ticket. So
then I get in line and she does, you know,
tell us to come on and we don't have a lot.
She's like, okay, yeah, and she starts, you know, and
and then I realized, and I look in others. She

(03:12:34):
started everybody, and everybody she was done. Why why are
you you this way? Why?

Speaker 5 (03:12:39):
Why?

Speaker 2 (03:12:40):
In her lights off? That means I'm done. Yeah, Well
she had to leave or she was closed.

Speaker 16 (03:12:44):
She could have.

Speaker 2 (03:12:44):
Said to me, which I tested, Hey, I'm sorry, this
is my last one, but she didn't, so we will.
Did you try to act like you didn't know the
light was on?

Speaker 3 (03:12:51):
You?

Speaker 2 (03:12:51):
Come on? Oh, I'm sorry? What I just said, listen
to give it a shot? And it worked out? So
she was still checking people after you left. She was,
And then he just walks off, thank you with my chicken. Hey.
The other thing, the other thing I want to ask
you when they ask you, did you find everything that
you need? Have you ever not found it? And complained?

Speaker 19 (03:13:11):
I have not?

Speaker 2 (03:13:12):
Do you always say yes? Probably? Some times I couldn't
find it and I still didn't. Do you always say
yes always? And then I said later, I go, wait
a minute, I couldn't find that one thing.

Speaker 3 (03:13:21):
I said no one time and explained it. I was
like I couldn't find chicken thighs and realized they don't care.
They're not going to do anything about it. So now
I don't complain.

Speaker 5 (03:13:30):
I did one time.

Speaker 2 (03:13:30):
I said, yeah, yeah, I really threw somebody curve because
they had the bread I wanted, they just didn't have
the thin slice. I said, I had to go with
the regular and have thin sized like you nom to do,
and they said, okay, day. You know, it's one of
those things like that time when when they when you asked,
somebody asked, how was your day? But they don't really
want to hear it. Oh they don't. That's pretty much.

(03:13:52):
I realized they're just supposed to say, did you find
everything you need? If you didn't, they can't help you.
There's not nothing's going to change, right. You know, there's
a checkout girl. I can't imagine what it's like going
to the grocery store. You I'll tell you what it's like.
It's efficient. I don't know. Sounds like well, I I
don't bully people. We get in and we get out.

(03:14:13):
I'll tell you that he didn't get in and that
was that poor cashier that was trying to check out.
It's still there, yeah, never left. Well, I mean, mom,
why were you late? Well, I know, I'm sorry. I
mister how long have you been standing here?

Speaker 4 (03:14:28):
Too?

Speaker 2 (03:14:29):
She was very very young. If she was she was
so young, if she had a baby or mama was watching,
I'm sure you broke that out before you did. Well,
I'm just telling you. I mean to me, if if
the light is off and they say come on in,
then come on in. That's fine, yeah, because ultimately then

(03:14:51):
here come everybody. Well, let's all face it. They'll cut
them off lally. Well, yeah, they call some people like you.
I bet I bet you that they were trying to
cut out fIF ten minutes early. But now you got
him up to something. They cut the light on. Behalf
of the let's jump in here. They're the company, you know, yes,
right to the care of the company. Yeah, I'm company man.

Speaker 3 (03:15:11):
I need to apologize to everyone that was in the
grocery store two days ago, because it sounded like a
child had had their foot cut off.

Speaker 5 (03:15:19):
But that was just Ezra. He didn't want to be
in the.

Speaker 2 (03:15:21):
Cart, that's what it was.

Speaker 3 (03:15:22):
He wanted to run around You could hear him in
the entire store, just screaming, and I thought he was
going to stop, and I'm pushing the cart. Around two
minutes later, he's still screaming.

Speaker 2 (03:15:32):
How long did he go?

Speaker 5 (03:15:33):
About three minutes until I threatened to leave him in
one of the aisles and.

Speaker 2 (03:15:35):
