Speaker 1 (02:34):
By the way, speaking of that over the weekend. In
the Asian world, and let's be honest in the Asian world,
let's just get this. We've talked about it. It's open.
We're honest. You see someone who's Asian, I mean, can
you see them and go Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
I kind of can pick Korea. I can pick Koreans.
You can't pick Korean. I got the Korean.

Speaker 5 (03:02):
So, so are you Chinese or Japanese?

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Funny funny, but I'm from Laos. I'm from Laos and
then there.

Speaker 5 (03:10):
So are you Chinese or Japanese?

Speaker 2 (03:15):
That's a good one.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
But anyway, so I saw something happen. So I know,
raise your hand if your wife gets her nails done
a lot? Ye, see Sherry has She tried to explain
it to my mom. Yesterday It was Sherry's birthday, weekend
celebration all weekend long. It was Marty Sherry, three days

(03:38):
of nothing but celebrating her birth. But anyway, and I
kept pretending that John Thomas called me, which we got
old over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Apparently sure sure, Oh, I just got a text from
John Thomas. All right, so.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Hello, Rick, this is John. I am so hopy. But anyway,
so I said, I can't let John down this weekend.
But anyways, so you'll hold me accountable. Uh, But anyway,
she has a apparently, ladies out there, you'll know, I
don't know what she's talking about.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
She brings up a lot.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
I usually just nod, uh that she has a fingernail
that has some kind of flaw that.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
It splits all the time.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Okay, and so she has to go a lot because
it has to be repaired over and over and over again.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
She has a does that make any sense? I know,
split fingernail.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
I know that I know that your wife worked in
that world at one time, maybe shared. But anyway, apparently
that means she has to go have her nails done
on a on a reoccurring more than most women frequent
her frequency, her frequency is a little hot. And so anyway,
so when you when you go to get your nails done,

(04:48):
I mean most of the time. I'm not saying every time.
I mean there's Terry, she did it for a while.
She's clearly, you know, not Asian. But but but there's not.
But she will say I'm sure the nail salons that
don't aren't Asian.

Speaker 7 (05:02):
I wouldn't say a lot, I would there's there's quite
quite a few, not a lot, a couple.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Most of them. The Vietnamese have got the corner market
on this.

Speaker 7 (05:12):
Yeah, I didn't say that, but there's a lot of
American owned neil salon.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
May be owned, but a lot of a lot of
the workers are normally you're gonna it's it's a high
number of Vietnamese.

Speaker 8 (05:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
So anyway, so Sherry has this place she goes and
it's almost one hundred percent Vietnamese, okay, ready to probably
probably probably is one hundred percent. And and there's like
the guy who who runs it reminds me. I mean,
he's very very gregarious, he's he's very loud, he's a
cut up all the time.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
And and Sherry.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
You know, he knows Sherry when he sees her, and
I mean he getting tired up, and you know, because
he knows he's about to run.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
That card again. Yea and split noil back.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
So then fix it. Yeah, And then Sherry is Hello Chavry.
And then Sherry has a has a Vietnamese restaurant that
she loves. Sherry loves the Vietnamese culture.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
How about that?

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Okay, and she'll she'll when all else fails, I know
that's where I'm gonna end up. And I'm still searching
the menu for something that i can get real.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Fired up about.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
I've tried several things, okay, and it's not bad. I mean,
but it's not.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Like you're eating communist food right well one time, well, no,
you're right.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Uh so so anyway, so so we we tried to go.
You know how, sometimes you forget that you're in a
different world now. So the two of the kids got
home and one of the daughter in laws to see
Sherry this weekend and and mom, we we had something
with mom was there. So the one that lives in Atlanta,
Brooks Big Love Burgess. He comes in on Saturday. Of

(06:48):
course I knew, you know. She She's like, I think
he's he may aha come Friday night. I said, don
gonna happen. Let that go.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
He's gonna get off work, he's have his hands full.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
It's gonna beat late. He's gonna just say he's coming
in the morning, and then he's not gonna be here early.
He's gonna be here in the afternoon. Just go ahead
and just know that. And of course that's exactly I went.
And so but she was like, well, let's go to
a movie or so we haven't been to a movie
in a long time, and does so we thought about
all that. And so normally Sherry and I, no matter
when it is we're eating, if we eat out, we're

(07:19):
eating at four okay, So we rarely, unless you're not
open yet, we rarely have any problem finding the table.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
So we go to the movie.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
At like four to twenty, which that brings us when
we come out, we're hitting the normal world on a Saturday,
and she starts talking crazy things like well, let's just
go over and eat it.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
So and so said, babe, we're not gonna get in
over there. Do you realize it's like six point thirty
on Saturday night, it's real time. We're not We're not
gonna make it in there?

Speaker 9 (07:50):
What?

Speaker 1 (07:51):
And I started warning Brooks. I said, we went to
the Vietnamese restaurant just so you know. And so and
so he's, uh, we got we walk up to the
place that was an insane idea. Uh, and we're looking
at our hour weight and I said, we're out.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
So then we got to be really good and she
tries another one.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
I said, this is since this is insanity, So then
we try another one hour and fifteen minutes. Okay, And
of course I said something I shouldn't have said. I'm like, well,
what's these tables that are available? He goes, those are
called reservations. I said, oh no, okay, think about that.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
I said a little bit of a shut up juice
for big Poppa there. Yeah, those tables are waiting on
people's reservations. We took tired who put the effort in
walking in here at six forty five.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
So anyway, so we end up at the Vietnamese restaurant,
of course, and of course there's always a table for
us there. So so we're eating and I never it
was so funny. Sherry's looking past me to the door.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
My back's to the door. Okay, Sherry and big Lover
on the other side, they're looking at the door. Sure,
he goes, and it was so funny. She goes, Oh, no,
I swear, She goes, My Vietnamese worlds are colliding.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
I said, what's happened? She goes from the nel slone
just walked into the Vietnamese restaurant. Oh wow, she goes,
I don't know what to do with this. Better be
good or he'll call him out.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
And I split.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
She was like, had I said, hanging in there? I said, wow,
so you your Vietnamese worlds are I mean, you don't
know what? She goes, Wow, I mean there's too much
vietnames going on there. She goes to the fact he's
eating here. That's got to be a good sign.

We we take.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Experiences and strange encounters from you, the audience, uh and

into different conversations, but some very very interesting Strange Encounters
covered in episode ten.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Some of you have already seen it.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
I've gotten some comments from you, yeah, some emails, and
some of you have even decided you'll send in yours,
which is great and we appreciate that. So so anyway,
check it if you have not seen episode ten. We
also unpack which you're going to get on the strange encounters,
you know, because we're trying to prepare ourselves for a
battle that we're in, whether you want to be in

(12:43):
it or not. We keep ma getting that point and
there's certain things that that we probably need to avoid
or be aware of the dangers. And one of the
emails takes us into what scripture says about allowing your
mind to be altered without alcohol or drugs and and
what what that can lead to. So so anyway, catch

(13:05):
that if you haven't already gotten it wherever you get podcasts,
and it's also on our YouTube channel.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
So and thank you for the feedback. We're already getting
on that. Uh So, do we want to go down
this davidly Roth road?

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Uh so, No, I know, we don't want to do
the one that that's on the video.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
The video has an F bomb in it. Done yeah, Greg.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
Oh, I thought you're all going to talk about the pantsy.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Well I saw that all right. First of all, Greg,
let's just let's just call it. Let's just call it
this video, the one Adder is talking about. A lot
of us have seen it, and it's it's hurtful. He's
I don't even think you would know. If you didn't
hear the riff, and you did not hear the chorus,
you would not know. He was singing Panama okay, and

(13:54):
and and.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
He was bad in his prime singing.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
He was a rock star, he was the biggest star
in the world and all that, and I loved him
and the band, but he couldn't sing then. He really
can't sing now, really really can't. And it's unacceptable. Yeah,
I saw he's tampered with the members. Somebody said it
had him and it had scorpions. Current day Oh bad

(14:19):
singing really rocky like hurricane Oh my god, No, oh no, Yeah,
you should only be out there if you can pull
it off exactly.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
And I don't know that at Dave's age, he should
have leather pants on. And then also that type I think.

Speaker 5 (14:33):
They were like a fake leather because they were just
so thin. I've never seen leather so thin, so so thin.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
Leather pleasure.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
We did confirm though that I doubt which was true,
that David Lee Roth is Jewish. So the they're a
little snow, Okay, they're they're a little they're a little snow.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
I just I've seen so many videos him doing Van
Halen songs, and like you said, if you if it
wasn't for the chorus, you wouldn't have any idea.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
Now now and he gets in it, gets in this
weird one.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Tell me that tell me the I did not ever
hear or see, and don't want to. I don't think
the last time he went out with the guys, with
the van Halen brothers, when.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
They kicked, when they killed, they kicked Michael Anthony out
and neglected to tell him.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah, yeah, and he forgot to give me a call.
He said, he understands about it. Be sure, would have
liked to be told about it.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
But anyway, ain't no problem.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
And now he's gone with Sammy Hagar, yes, sir, from
the you know van Hagar years and now they have
their own deal and they sound good, Yeah they do.
Sammy still sounds good. Michael Anthony still sounds good. David
Lee Roth not so much so sad Evince Neil. They
even showed him. Here's what I don't get about events.
Y'all got a rebirth after the movie came out. Y'all

(15:50):
got stadium tours. They toured the world. So he should
be okay money wise when you think I would, and
this is but he's still out doing the Vince Neil
band on his own at smaller venues. And you tell
you he don't feel good. I mean the video, I mean,
what do you do. Surely he's got money. Well, you know,
I mean they had the big comeback.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
It's almost like even if you spend all the money,
you got it back. Yeah, on that tour. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
But there's a thing today with David Lee Roth that
apparently which I didn't know. He claims that that Sammy Hagar,
you know, the two of them never fair to much
for each other. That Sammy Hagar claims that the ghost
of Eddie van Halen has given him.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
A So I've never heard this little Yeah.

Speaker 7 (16:31):
So Sammy's song is called Encore thank You good Night,
and it was released earlier this year.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
And now he's Sammy Hagar.

Speaker 7 (16:39):
He's playing amphitheaters and arenas capacity of up to about
twenty thousand, like Credit Union one, Amphitheater, Tinley Park. I mean,
like really big, pretty pretty nice thingues David Lee Roth.
He's he's touring small venues capacity around twenty five hundred
to six thousand. Yeah, so it's a there's a big difference,
but I guess. David Lee Roth was doing a show

(17:02):
last week and he kind of mocked Sammy Hagar claiming
that he wrote a song from a dream.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Of eighties after Eddie's ghost visited.

Speaker 7 (17:09):
Him and he was he was on the mic and
he kind of he kind of poked fun a little bit. Now,
the video portion of it has profanity, but this audio
only version it had it has been edited out the profanity.
So list this is my channel.

Speaker 6 (17:24):
Here as right, And Sammy described to the ghost of
Eddie dan Eland visited and raced him with a song
it's on the internet. Last night, the ghost of Vivid
dan elland visited me at the hotel.

Speaker 8 (17:39):
He said, Dad, you know that song I gave Higo.

Speaker 6 (17:42):
He said, it's actually in a guttage of meat of backwards.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Uh did Sammy say that? I don't know? I didn't
know that is he just riffing.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Is he just trying to be funny?

Speaker 2 (17:58):
You know Dave would riff, Yeah, he was, he was
trying to be funny. But the and he yeah, I
will say this, that was part of his game. His
talk between songs was really entertaining. As you said, was
one of the best, as you was one of the best.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
As you said, he'll never be recognized as one of
the greatest vocalists of all times, all time, but he
will be recognizing one of the greatest front men and
rock band of all no doubt. And just but now
when you take away, see the problem with not being
able to sing well is that he looks so cool.
In their prime, it didn't matter and the songs were

(18:33):
so good you didn't care. But now when you look
like an older man and possibly fake leather pants and
you don't look cool anymore. Now all everybody begins to
notice is you don't sing that great because you can't
distract him with how your showmanship, because you were the
coolest guy in the room before, right, No doubt, I

(18:53):
saw him, not just with Van Halen a few times. Well,
I'll send you too. We saw him in his solo years,
when he first came out with Steve Vine Billy she
and that.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Was awesome and a good line and highly successful.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
Oh yes, yeah, I saw that. I saw the first one.
I didn't see the second album I saw. I saw
both of them. I saw Eat Them and Smile, which
was great, outstanding.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Cinderella opened up for him, Yes they did, and the
band as he said, and of course it's cool and
he was still cool and Adam, you would have loved this.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
They opened up and just let Billy Sheehan and Steve
v show everybody in the drummer I forget is now.
He was great to to show how good the band was.
And they stopped just I'm talking about on the nose
and Dave looks at the krag goes, what do you
think about the new band so far?

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Oh? It was great, but the but those days are
going right?

Speaker 6 (19:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah, yeah, look that that one video. Everybody keeps putting
out of me and doing Panama.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
I look at I look at the lighting above him Adler,
and it looks like it's just the lighting in the theater.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
He didn't even bring his own gear. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (19:55):
Plus he's got a tik tack in his pocket.

Speaker 8 (19:58):
He was the wick bird. Just show.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Uh, speedy.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
I mean, we all had a weekend. You were telling
me you entered into the world of and it really is.
It's it's some it's a it's a it's a skill
set that a husband apparently supposed to have.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
It's not. It's not easy.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
It didn't know, it didn't. And that's the ability to
read minds, right.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Yeah, Yeah, you have to support. Yeah, you have to
be able to read your wife's mind. Yeah. And if
you if you can't, you're going to struggle. No, you're
gonna get what you got easy. You're not easy to
read a mind.

Speaker 7 (20:38):
We found ourselves down towards your your neck of the
woods with the farm and beautiful children County.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, and we.

Speaker 7 (20:46):
Went down there. Uh, had some things to do. And
Saturday she was invited to a baby shower. Uh and uh,
you know the Lenor's the Will and Philip, the two
the two sons, Will and his wife Kelson are about
to have the the baby boy.

Speaker 2 (21:00):

Speaker 7 (21:01):
Baby shower and Terry was invited. So she said, hey,
why don't you Saturdays. We were thinking about it. Saturday,

you know, kind.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Of have it have a day. And I'm like, yeah, sure,

Speaker 7 (21:23):

all ready to go and she's excited.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Drop her off and I'll be down the road. Just
text me when it's time to get visit with Tom

Speaker 7 (21:33):
Yeah, So we did, and sure enough I get the
text after a couple of hours, Hey, come grab me
if you know when you get free, no hurry, So
I did. I went by and she jumped back in
the car and she's talking about how what of a
good time she had and everything, and so I kind
of come out, go right and head towards the interstate.
A couple of miles down the road and jump up
on the interstate and you know, you got to check

(21:54):
traffic because my gracious, it might be a parking lot,
you never know. Sure, And so I'm head up on
sixty five north, headed back to the home home.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Every fun time. Ye my wife's been to a baby shower. Yeah,
here we go, here we go, headed back home, get
up to.

Speaker 7 (22:10):
Speed on the interstate, and I mean, we're just having
a great time, you know. And I'm thinking, you know,
we had had we hadn't had lunch or anything. You
want to grab some lunch or whatever. And and she
doesn't respond. I'm like, what's up. She goes, well, so
I guess we're not going to ride around and and maybe,
you know, just kind of she loves to get out
in the country and just ride around and you know,

(22:30):
I love barns and see farmland and and just kind
of that she loves that area. So we're not going
to ride around, more like kind of take the back
roads home. And I said, what are you talking about?
I love, you know, I'm really up to speed now.
I'm up to speed now, I'm getting in the left
lane and you know, passing a truck or two. And

I mean, I guess we're not gonna I guess we're

to do that? You know, now the fun time has
now changed. Right now, it's like you're going.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
To be in trouble because you didn't have the ability.

Speaker 7 (23:02):
Yeah, yeah, and she said, well, I just thought that
we would ride around and enjoy ourselves and have kind
of an afternoon. I mean, I don't know why you're
in a hurry to get back on. And I said, well,
I'm not in a hurry to get back. I just
thought that's where we were going. I didn't know. I
had no idea that's what you wanted to do. Well, yeah,
I guess I should have said something. And I said,

(23:24):
I said, well, yeah, I guess.

Speaker 9 (23:26):
So.

Speaker 7 (23:26):
I said, now I can get right back off this

get off that exit and spin left and and they
love the show there. We can get off back in
the country. You know you had to exit and double back.
And she said, well, no, I don't worry about it.

(23:48):
And I said, oh no, no, I said, you ain't
dealing with the rookie. Here we go on countryside, I said,
because I have nowhere I need to be. And we
got well, I don't know why you're getting on this exit.
Well you don't, because you don't you just said that

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Home for sale.

Speaker 7 (24:29):
And there's this little house here, and I said, honey,
you should have gotten in real estate. You have a
passion for this, you love it. Well, no, I don't
really care, I said, honey, you by memory, you're not
having to look at a website. You know what's for
sale and where it's for sale. And slow down, slow down.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Oh that's cute. Look at that cute little black house
right there. And I could see ourselves living there, I said,
you could, really, I go through that with lake property,
every back road right around cropwell right right, you know,
Well I don't know why property.

Speaker 7 (24:57):
Is Yeah, I don't know why you got off. Well, well,
I'm gonna tell you this right now now. If if
if we were married for a year, that that that speed.
He might have gone on home, but not this new
wait country right now. And I'm and I, you know what,
and let's let's have a good time.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
I just didn't know, honey, just and you didn't know. Why?
Why didn't you know?

Speaker 7 (25:16):
Because she didn't say anything right? So when I can't
read mine right and she had she was never tried
to read the mind.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
No, it's just not right.

Speaker 7 (25:29):
And she was not like she just seemed a little
disgusted that I didn't read rid of mind. But then
after she said, yeah, I guess I should have said something.
Now that was the joke, you know, And I would say, hey,
I'm gonna slow down. But I know you didn't tell
me that, but I know that's probably what you want
to do.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Did you you know? She started to laugh. How many
hours did it cost? About an hour and a half.
And we doubled around. Let me just take my campus
and shore camp. I did know. We weren't in my truck.
We were in her, her little four door, and.

Speaker 7 (25:57):
So I thought we might be bumping around a little bit,
getting all dusty and all that.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (26:02):
So I didn't do that, but we rode close by.
Uh and Buddy, let me tell you we I know
every house and farm it's for sale and Chilton County.
We rode up and down Thorsby Jamison Isabella Clanton went
to the car.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
The car, that's what you're looking for. At times the
car was like what the you know? I mean? But
let me just tell you.

Speaker 7 (26:25):
We had a blast together and got home late late afternoon,
could have been home a couple of hours early, but
I didn't everything due But Greg kind of liked with Lisa.
She knows every everything, but then says, oh no, I don't.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Really, I don't know. I don't have a passion for us.
You don't have a passion.

Speaker 7 (26:42):
You memorized everything you know, and that's okay.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
But she just loves to I thought we loved.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
I thought we'd ride around look at stuff, and no
way to know that. I'm I'm just telling you, young fellas,
you better learn to read of mind.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
Yeah, yeah, you better get ESPN.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Yea And if they bring up something like that, And
I'm always thought, Lisa she going to real estate. Ye
you're right, Yeah, I mean sounds like her and tarry out. Yeah,
because she loves to just go.

Speaker 7 (27:09):
And I don't know who she is because at one
time she'll say we need to downsize, and then the
next thing she'll send me like some farm that's way
out of our price range.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
I'm like, what do you do?

Speaker 8 (27:17):
Who are you right?

Speaker 2 (27:19):
I just wanted you to see it. I'm downside on
the house, not the property. We were going to downsize
so many times, and now I've got a pergola.

Speaker 7 (27:27):
I mean, oh yeah, there's there's city parks that are
they're jealous of you.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
I don't know what happened. So, you know, we're talking
a little bit about the weekends and the the wives,
which we had a great weekend celebrating Sherry and her
birthday on Friday. Thank you for all the well wishes,

(27:54):
and she had a great, great weekend. And uh, one
of the things that happened, if you remember, you got
to be careful when you make a bold move as
a husband, because if you make a bold move and
you get moved and you get overly confident, you can
get burnt. So I never even heard and I don't

(28:17):
know if I'm saying it right. It is pergola, right.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
Yes, yes, sir, you guys were saying it like it
rhymed with Dracula.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
But it doesn't rhyme with Dracula.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Is it pergola?

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Pergola?

Speaker 5 (28:28):
Yeah, pergola, not pergola like Dracula.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
It's not like that.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Pergola.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Yea pergola?

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Right before before this came into the world, if you
would have held a gun to me and said, what
is it? You gotta tell me, you said, you said,
Dracula's the same thing.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
We don't what is it?

Speaker 1 (28:47):
And the thing that always I would have said, I
have no idea. What that that? The thing that can't
shoot me. The thing that confused me about it is
I understand you're supposed to grow vines and stuff.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Phone it takes a minute. It's like a pavilion without
a root, but not take a minute. But why are.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
We unfinished deck?

Speaker 2 (29:07):
I don't know why? Why don't Why does the top?
Why is it not closed? Because it's gonna be a
long time for them?

Speaker 7 (29:13):
Yes, because the pergula is I'm saying, we're just we're agitating.
But because the vines and all that, the greenery is
supposed to grow on it.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Have you got that's where the shade's coming. Have you
got the vines? Have you planted them? Not yet? But
about two summers for enjoyed.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
But anyway, nice in two years.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah, and I have a reputation and not paying attention.
I don't know where this came from, but anyway, Sherry.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Brings it up.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
But look, and I have no idea how big the
area is where the we had a playground in the backyard,
you know, your typical swing set, the little climb up
in slide house and those things. When we had all
these kids running everywhere, and and then somebody came in
and made it nice and they put down the pebbles

(30:03):
or the bark and you have some of these railroad
ties that go around it and make the area.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
And it was nice about to Percia. No, not this.
So that's the space.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
Well, when the kids all grew up and moved away,
Sherry kindly gave all that to some neighbors who still
had small kids.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
We'll place that. Well, it left a big.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
Blank you were looking at a big blank spot apparently.
And so I fought hard and won the battle of
the chickens. Oh, that'd be a great place to put chickens.
I said, we're not doing chickens. And the only way
that I won that, the only way that I won
that was telling Sherry it would bring more snakes in.
I don't know if that's true or not, but it worked.

(30:46):
And I said, you're gonna be. They're gonna be. And
I had some people fighting against me.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
She had some some female friends that were talking about
how much they like their chickens, and I fought. I said,
we're not building the chicken. We're gon we're gonna have
you know what chickens leave. They leave chicken.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Noise, more animals around here, dropping eats them, droppings and stuff.
And so I went, I went, like a couple of years.
I mean, that thing's been empty for a long time.
Then there was that we're gonna make it a garden,
all right, takes it wrong with this grass in the yard?

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Well, it's it's not. You've seen it.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
It's a It was a bear spot back there with
now railroad ties around it, and so apparently.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
That's sitting there.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
You know what you need, perga apparently, and you know,
and I admit it was kind of sad because there
was a lot put up there back from when it
was a play area.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
And have a light that shines on an empty spot,
take a lot.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
I mean I thought that you know, we did a
little fire pit near there, and now that brings her
attention to it, and and so she goes, well, that
this looks terrible. It's an isore. And I said, well,
god forbid, there's an iore back there and at the
bottom of the bottom gyuard here on our h and
at least we can get closer to that kid's truck
that's so loud.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Yeah, but anyway, so talking about it a loud truck, son,
it's loud, yeah, but anyway, So.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
The so I thought I won. So finally she talks
to some people about the pergola. She saw one down
at a place she goes, a nursery. She goes to, oh, look,
here's a pergola. And so anyway, and I didn't know
what it was. And when she first brought it up,
I thought, well, can we should we go see a doctor?

(32:28):
You know, you have a purglar or you want a
yes anyway, And so first estimate outrageous, completely outrageous. And
now I had no idea how big therea was. And
so I won the battle. I said, Baby, that's out.
I love you, that's out. Ain't no way we're gonna knew, no, no, no,
that's a that's a that's dead on arrival. So I said,

(32:52):
I mean, if that's what it costs, then know. And
so she goes and gets a second estimate, which I
didn't know about, and it comes in at fifty percent less. Ooh,
and I'm like, oh, I'm in a buying now regular
me yeapula.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
So for I said, look, listen, you're gonna it'll be
like a lean to. Yeah, what you got a great prize? Right?

Speaker 1 (33:18):
So and I thought that what I didn't know is
they these people they hit the ground running and literally
completely built it in three days. What are they homish?
I walked out there to the guy, and I knew
that I was in trouble. I walked up through the guy.
I hadn't ever even been I didn't even walk down there.
I started walking. I said, my gosh, shre you this

(33:39):
could be a house. We should just move down here.
If we're going downside, let's close this thing in.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Look.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
He looks at me, and I said, that's a big purgolant.
He goes, second biggest one I've ever built.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
I said, what I have, the second biggest burglar you've
ever built?

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Yeah, I ain't never built I got only one in
my entire career, we ever built bigger than this one.
And I'm like, this thing enormous.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
You have a big crow. I didn't realize how big
the area was that It's like I wasn't really paying
attention to it.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
You better get your vines and oh yeah, well that's
a big area to coverard you better get so big.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
Like I said, there's city parks that are jealous of
your purga.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
So they built it and record time and they finished
it on Sherry's birthday.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Oh wow, they put a bow on it.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Put a bow on it, like look and I don't know,
I know that it's only just begun, but do you
go stand under it?

Speaker 8 (34:31):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
And of course the YouTube channel you need to have
because you can also be notified when a new live
feature is happening too on the YouTube channel. All right,
So as we as we start the hour, I'm afraid
I'm gonna have to take the audience to task a
little bit here and some of you all, I hope
y'all are happy, because you know, I will say that

(35:05):
that one of the most talked about things that we've
been doing on the new show and I hear this.
I heard it again over the weekend. Okay, is the
making unscreened phone calls the standard for calls?

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Now?

Speaker 1 (35:19):
This has this has spawned an unpredictability and some of
you have have.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Taken on.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
The desire and you constantly attempt to do something in
the unscreened phone calls.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
You know, we get a lot of feedback.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
On where we are now with the Rick Burgess Show,
and I want all of you to know that you've
cost us a listener. Thanks, y'all have cost us a listener.
And I want everybody in this room to listen because
we need to be willing to hear even negative critiques.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Even though this some won't know it because they're, according
to them, not listening. That's a good point, Greg, but
we all can learn from you.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Know.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
What I'm saying is that they're probably listening.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
Well.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
This one, this one hurts.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
I blame speedy Hey birds, Hey birds. The new format
for callers has developed into an excuse for adolescence posing
as adults to call in and say something.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Inane like doo doo that was in the email?

Speaker 9 (36:33):
Right?

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Was it in quotes or it isn't quotes? It's even better.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
Worst part is you guys yucking it up and encouraging
this poor behavior on thing.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
We encouraging it, right, we actually.

Speaker 7 (36:47):
Don't we laugh at I think I reaction laughing at it. Yeah,
I'm giving them to make people laugh. Here comes the biggie.
This is where I depart and drop out of your audience.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Drop you get it?

Speaker 8 (36:59):
Do doo.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
That's funny, that's hilarious. That's funny.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
Let me ask you this though, couldn't you just not
listen to the phone segments? Will will like one two
max a day out out of what so if you
like when you ask it, I get it.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
I mean, we'll do one next segment. But I know
what you mean. Rick, of course, I'm in the cross
theres listen. It's all about you. It's head coach. I'm
not sure.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
I'm not sure how one minute you're a hooting and
hollering about the latest doodoo caller, and in the next
minute you're telling me about your latest man church adventure.
Very poor witness exclamation point. Now here's where this is where?

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Right now?

Speaker 1 (37:39):
I'm like, well, you know, but then this, this is
an interesting comment. After twenty years of listening, your show
has deteriorated. Into a cheap, slapstick, moronic shadow of its
former glory.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
I guess, Bubba hell keep you in check for the
better Now.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
When I when I look at yes, when I when
I look at this, when I look at this, Let's
let's break it down. First of all, you've made one point, Greg,
unscreened phone calls one a day, maybe two? Yeah, out
of twenty seconds. If I'm a twenty year listener, I'm
just saying, can you know what, y'all run the phone
for me. I'm not listening, but I'll be back when

(38:25):
y'all hang the phone up. The other one is, let's
start with this one, the notion that the former show
was a bastion of maturity.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
With with with.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
With our tagline, the two Sexiest Lot, a contest called
Lucky but Yeah yeah, HeLa monster mating calls. There's that,
the Personal Ads show, which featured some very not so
mature commentary, the discussion of how you can have the

(39:05):
say the gender of baby you want, and how to.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
Go about that.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Yeah, the fatchelor, The Fachelor. I mean, it's okay to
finally remember the show, but to say that show was
ambastion of maturity, it didn't feel like it. As a
matter of fact, the current state of this show feels

(39:29):
a lot more like the early days of the energy
and the fun of the former show.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
Well maybe a surprise she only goes twenty years back.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Of course, we all know the seriousness of We know
the seriousness is true.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
We know the seriousness of of of a characters like
Dicky Nadmire and Deeping Dan or Ricky Really Want One,
or naked Calvin Wilburn running across the green Ye streaking
a reoccurring a reoccurring character called naked Cowboy. Yeah, I
don't know. We had a wedding on the bluff.

Speaker 7 (40:05):
We had, We had a wedding on the bluff, Yes,
we did. And you Greg, you came and got in
a bucket truck just so we could see you.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Yes, and nearly got fired.

Speaker 5 (40:12):
Yeah, Speedy had a witchcraft phase during Thirteen Days of Horror.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
He was a pagan uh fan, fast fat fast, Yeah,
all that it just didn't feel And then large Justice
and then the thing and then I'm going to bring
up something that this even urge justice.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
I'm going to bring up very uncomfortable uh fact that
this person has overlooked the first do dos came from
the old show.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
That's a good point. Remember people would call in and
hang from him. That's all we had it.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
We had it in the the it was it was
from it was from Hank from Hendersonville.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
People started doing it on phone. That's what started. Wife.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
Yeah, this and that current lineup that was doing it
then was laughing this on everybody. Yes, I saw bubb
and tears many times over things. It didn't seem overly mature. Yeah,
and then now let's go to Rick. I'm not sure
how one minute. Look, certainly none of us are above
being held accountable, but I think you may be confusing.
I'm a foller of Jesus. I'm not a prude, you know.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Is it a little? Do I like hearing people say that?
I really don't do.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
I believe that less there's moral those kinds of things
like tattoos.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
I do. Uh, it's not my favorite part. But I
will say.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
To this, I think it's it's funny, and it's certainly
not profane, and it's certainly not sinful. No, I wouldn't
mean this like you did. I think it's getting it's more.
I'm not so offended by it, but it's it's happened
so much. It's not that funny anymore. How many times
you think, don't do a day, I don't know, at
least once now that now, But now when you do

(42:02):
it like Mama when she that's funny and creative people creative.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
But I'll even give you this, I'm giving this back.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
I think we've done enough of uranus jokes for a
little while, just to let it die down.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
She didn't include that in here, but.

Speaker 5 (42:14):
I bet that probably.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
But again, the uranus, I don't think we did anything wrong.
We ain't that funny. We did uranus on the old show.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
Yeah, But what I'm saying is I just don't think
it's that funny anymore. We need to let it rest
a minute.

Speaker 1 (42:28):
Yeah, yeah, and of course don't forget the song speaking
of Bubba Bubba's but we actually have.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
But yeah, yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
You don't. You don't.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
You don't have to, you don't have to went in there.
Yeah yeah, locker rooms, locker room humor. I'm sorry it
was on both shows.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
I'm you can't, uh, but but anyway, and we try
to keep we try to do again less there's more.
Now you can't control the audience, and that to me
adds to the fun of unscreen phones because you don't
know what's going to happen and.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
Screening what whatn't happening, But they're not going to tell
you when you're screening them. I want to get on
here and say do that, but it're not going to
do that. But it's not for everybody, And if you
have to depart ways that we twenty years. But I
did want to point out a few inconsistencies in the assessment. Well,
and you can even express that. Hey, you know, I
kind of I'm not into that, sure, but I'm done
with the show after twenty years.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
And by the way, after reading this email, how many
think are coming in the first unscreen phone call of
the week?

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Oh Rick, it's going to be so out of control?
Well let's not. I wish that, right, let's not.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
What does she want us to do?

Speaker 8 (43:35):
Dude?

Speaker 5 (43:37):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
Yes, so, And again, I mean, you know, we're trying
so hard. I know it's not for everybody. We've updated
you on a number of things. If you missed that,
go back and catch the archive later today on our
podcast channel or our YouTube channel. You never have to

(44:03):
miss a moment of the show even on your own
time if you miss anything on the live option. So Adler,
you were telling us, you know, you're you're we have
this wonderful world going on right now where we've got
Speedy and Greg as grandparents. But then we have you, though,
still parenting youngsters, and you're now experiencing a lot of
first you know, you and I had kind of a

(44:25):
emotional conversation about Ruby starting school and you know, you're
you watching her try to be a big girl now
and stuff like that, and I think at one point,
at one point, I really thought we were close to
an embrace of some kind. But so you're doing a
lot of first now and and you set over the
weekend you experienced a parenting.

Speaker 5 (44:46):
First, yes, and you just forget about these things, these
firsts in your life until you kind of revisit them again,
and then you're transported back in time to your own
first and it's just wild. And this weekend I ad
my very first roller roller roller skating.

Speaker 2 (45:06):
Party party at the skating rink party and many of those.

Speaker 5 (45:12):
And I got the cake. They were huge when I
was a kid, I mean, and I know you guys
grew up at the skate Greg was the king.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
Well yeah, he uh backwards, and then he kind of
hit a run where he became the guy that walked
around out of skate zone.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Until we wanted to get out race. Yeah, I had
red Devil wheels.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
Precision, not trying to brag, but precision. Kind of the
Johns Revolt of the rink.

Speaker 5 (45:41):
Sure, and then there's the time Speedy tried to show
off and jump over a girl that he thought was
kidd tried to jump over her, landed on her, broke
a wrist.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Yeah, yeah, broke brokeram trying to show that'll shut down,
They'll stop the music. Did you think you could clear
the details off the music the situation? Let me tell you.
They call the paramedics. Yeah, the music's all. I'm not
going to say it's on her, but I thought she
moved her on a little right.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
But we were growing up, we were going up the
skating rink on Friday and Saturday night.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
It was a place of broken bones and broken hearts.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Oh oh yeah, and good time and some good pizza.

Speaker 7 (46:17):
So back to the little kid parties that the adults
tried to get out of out in there, and you
hadn't done it in twenty five years.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
Oh yeah, you see some falls, some hard ones. All right,
you got yourself.

Speaker 5 (46:28):
Yeah, that's where I'm going. Oh because okay, And first
of all, this is funny because this birthday party was
an afternoon birthday party and he was going to land
right in the middle of Ezra's nap. And Ruby's been
never been, she's never worn roller skates.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
We don't.

Speaker 3 (46:42):
We don't have them.

Speaker 5 (46:43):
We we got scooters, we got bikes, we got trikes,
we got all that. We just don't have roller skates.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
It hasn't They're not as popular now.

Speaker 5 (46:50):
We're not a kid roller blades, its shred, some blaeding.

Speaker 3 (46:55):
You know, it was a big thing.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
You don't see it as much.

Speaker 5 (46:58):
You don't see a lot more scooters. And I see
a lot of electric scooters where kids don't even have
to push or anything. And it's that is man. If
I had had that as a kid, it would have
been like I got a jet pack. So Ezra can't go.
And now I'm in the spot where my two year
old son can't go to a thing and my five
year old daughter is getting to go. And we came

(47:19):
up with a thing where I need you'll need y'all
need to tell me is this is this is this unethical?

Speaker 6 (47:26):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (47:27):
I said to Ruby, Hey, don't forget Ruby. We had
to go to the U the because she was about
to blab about it. She was about to blab so
much about it. And I go the unsharpened pencil store.
That I was trying to think of something really boring.
The doctor would have been great. He was like, eighth Sunday, daddy,

(47:50):
doctor not open it's Sunday.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
But why you.

Speaker 5 (47:52):
Lie, you dirty liar?

Speaker 2 (47:55):
Why did you? Daddy? You're an example.

Speaker 5 (48:01):
You're in an example for what I do and how
I live my life.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
I didn't know your kid was Mike Tyson.

Speaker 5 (48:08):
They both have heavy lists and it's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
It's so cute.

Speaker 9 (48:12):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (48:12):
But yes, So I was like, Ruby, we're going to
the sharpened pencil store.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
I don't know why what that just about? You haven't
even entered your mind.

Speaker 5 (48:20):
I was trying to think of the most well. Ruby
was like, we're going to the mud store. E Israel
likes playing.

Speaker 3 (48:25):
In the moment.

Speaker 5 (48:26):
We can't go to the mud store. That's too fun.
I was like, what about the toilet store? They thought
that was funny. I had to change it. I was
like I'm sharp and pencil store. So Ruby zealed it.
So now Ruby's loving saying that, and we're talking about
going to the unsharpened pencil store.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
We leave. It's is bad, bad, goodbye.

Speaker 5 (48:45):
Sorry, buddy. He's so aware now he just wants to
be a part of everything. I feel so bad for him.
He's so small, he's got to he's so small for
his age.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
And so I.

Speaker 5 (48:55):
Forget to wear thick socks. That was a mistake because
I wanted to get it out there too, out of
our double socks. We get out to the roller skating
rink and we are getting our skates and I tell
them Ruby size. I tell them my size. You know,
child's ten child size.

Speaker 7 (49:12):
Actually, just give us the same size.

Speaker 5 (49:15):
And they hand us. Did you guys know that roller
skates were invented in eighteen sixty three. No, that's from
That's when these roller skates were from. That's where they
got theils ye leather to the leather boot, old school
tan tan leather. Yes, So we put these on and
Ruby's freaking out. She's like, they're so heavy. I will say.

(49:37):
The old guy behind the counter was so nice. He
was like, is this her first time? I was like,
yes it is. He's like, well, let me do something
for you, and he tightened up one of the wheels
on the skate.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (49:47):
I'm really nice to that guy, very kind and it.
And so now we've got the carpet walk to the
ring and I'm like, I have not wrote worn roller
skates in thirty years. I was probably nine, really yes,
because roller blading took took over when you're nine, and
roller blades feel different by the way roller skates and

(50:08):
roller blades. You're on a because the blade is longer,
the skate is shorter. It's almost harder. I wouldn't prepare
for that. So we're doing the thing and there are
just adults falling all around us, bad kids falling all
around us. Ruby's freaking out. We get and I'm like,
I'm just on the carpet. I'm not even on the
rink yet.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
This is gonna be hard.

Speaker 5 (50:30):
So the moment comes and you got to walk down
the little, tiny little ramp to get on the rink,
and now we're in when we don't fall, and now
Ruby is holding onto the wall like she's on the
edge of the Titanic or something like fall, joyful, terrified,
terrified and she is holding onto it both hands. I'm
my baby, you gotta hold my hand and then we'll go.
I'll go with you. We'll go together. And she's like,

(50:53):
you're going too fast, going to flow daddy, right. I'm like,
you just said two different things.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
You said two different things.

Speaker 5 (51:03):
And she's like, she's like, it's like she's on banana
peels or something.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
She's leaning back.

Speaker 5 (51:12):
I'm like, you got to get your weight on your feet, baby,
you can't have your weight in your arms. You can't.
And she's going down and she's going so slow, and
I'm like, baby, it's okay, you got The music is
just so loud. They did play some of our hits,
Speedy Return, Return of the Mac. Yeah, really good skates

(51:33):
by the way, really large man out on the skate
skating floor owning it the whole time. I'm like, big
big man is just owning it.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
Moves.

Speaker 5 (51:42):
We get to the section where it is like, if
we go past this little entrance, we gotta go all
the way around. I'm like, okay, here we go, and
we y'all. It took us probably fifteen minutes to get
around one time. Her first time, many points. I am
blamed because Daddy, don't.

Speaker 3 (52:03):
Look at me.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
You're making me fall by looking at looking look me.
Don't look at me. How dare you look at.

Speaker 8 (52:11):
How do you? What do you do?

Speaker 2 (52:13):
Are you making you nervous? You're you're looking at don't
look at me. I don't want to forget this moment.

Speaker 5 (52:19):
The amount, Okay, So my foot is because these don't
fit me. They're not gonna feel right. They're not gonna
feel right. I don't know. No, I think they've been
run over byck. I think they've been run over by the.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Shorts, like the shorts that time.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
No, you didn't want the girl to think you were
shorts that small, so you order too big.

Speaker 5 (52:36):
I went the appropriate size. I went the appropriate size.
And look, you got the number blaaring on the back.
I'm fine with that. I'm comfortable with who I am.
That's right, all right, Hey, guys, riding in a six,
there's a nine point five. It's a nine point five.
I got nine point you got the nine point five
blaaring on the back, And I'm fine with that. I'm
I'm okay with who I am. Absolutely there is and y'all,

(53:00):
And I was trying to showing off every once in
a while, Ruby get real mad at me, so I
wouldn't woud let go over her hand, and I just
skate backwards in front of be like I'm not a
regular dad, I'm a cool dad.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
You guys, you look.

Speaker 5 (53:12):
Around the rink, do you know do you know how
long you have to wait before somebody falls? When you're
just looking out at the whole rink? One second bam
fall boom fall again? Oh an adult that time. And
I kept pointing that out to Ruby because I knew
she was going to go down hard at some point. First,
another kid falls, everybody falls, Baby around it, everybody. So

(53:34):
we got around. We did a total of one point
five laps, okay, and turned the skates in. And I
want to thank ski Ball for getting us through the
rest of the birthday party. I thank you ski Ball.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
I got them tickets when you cas.

Speaker 5 (53:49):
Yes, she got a bouncy ball and fake money. Fake
money was a hit, but it was It was great, man.
I was just transported back to being a kid hanging
on the wall yelling at my dad. Honestly, I remember
yelling at You're frustrated with my dad, even though he's
loving me and helping me.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
Throw it. You know you're gonna miss the Of.

Speaker 5 (54:11):
Course, we get home and Ruby's like, Mommy, I did
so good. I didn't even follow with my very first time.
And then she goes up to Eders. She's like, I
went to a roller skating ring and I was skating around.
We played arcade games. I was like opal loop of
one Sharp Repentil Store show.

Speaker 1 (54:29):
We mentioned that that Putin and Trump got together over
the weekend. One of the things on video one you
mentioned it speedy. A lot of people have been talking
about this, the fact that when Trump was walking with Putin,
we had b two stealth bombers fly right.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
Over his head. Oh yeah, all right, so I mean
they're on the red carpet design. We look at that.

Speaker 7 (54:54):
That was pretty good right there, and not just a fly,
but I mean flew over right where Putin was standing.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
Yep, yep wow. So even his face was like, oh wow.
So so we know that that Putin is really really
upsetting the Democrats. So so this is the audacity to
say something.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
Yeah, the one bee here here is the the what
what is upsetting the Democrats about what he said about Trump?

Speaker 5 (55:28):
I still got my jets.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Ruining here that Yeah, we love that over, we love it.

Speaker 5 (55:34):
It was good, but it wasn't that good. Okay, here
you go.

Speaker 10 (55:36):
I'd like to remind you that in twenty twenty two,
during the last contact with the previous administration, I tried
to convince my previous American colleague should not the situation
should not be brought to the point of no return
when it would come to hostilities. And I said it

(55:58):
quite directly back then. That's a big mistake Trump today
when President Trump saying that if he was the president
back then, there will be no more and I'm quite
sure that it would indeed be, so I can confirm that.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
Nobody say I can't everybody check on the view. Everybody
check on the view? Is it just me?

Speaker 1 (56:21):
But if you're translating for a male, I need a
male voice.

Speaker 2 (56:25):
That I couldn't listen good because of it.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
Really, Yeah, I missed my half and you you said,
I thought there's some woman off the camera talking about
something else.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
Oh that's what he said.

Speaker 1 (56:37):
Yeah, some ratchet y'all left the stage.

Speaker 2 (56:45):
Somebody snuck in. You don't know he's on.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
So he is now confirming what what Trump has always said.
If I were president, this this thing would never happen,
and now here's Boot and saying, yes that I can
confirm that would be So I tried to talk away.

Speaker 7 (57:01):
To the sort of yeah, he's saying if if Trump
was in office when all this happened, it wouldn't have
been a war.

Speaker 2 (57:06):
I wouldn't that been better in a male voice though
it was Greg, I'm saying you at the point, would
have I got you? I got you?

Speaker 9 (57:12):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (57:13):
What is it that hard? You know what everybody knows.
Putin's a man. You know he's coming with a translator.
But guy, right, I mean, ain't like to knuck up
on where's Gary? And they said, where's translator? When we
got this chick over here, she can do it. And
it wasn't nothing like that. I'll go as far as
I thought to myself, I thought Trump was talking to
a guy. You know what, I think, who's the Russian chick? Yeah,
but she's that she's translating for.

Speaker 5 (57:35):
Putin also laid flowers at the heroes of the It
was basically a place where they honored a US Soviet
alliance from World War two uh in which it commemorates
a brutal Arctic route where eight one thousand US aircraft.
Aircraft were brought to the US s r UH, so

(57:56):
that was kind of a he did that to honor
this that that US Russia partnership that occurred during World
War Two before he met with Trump, which a lot
of people viewed as a good sign and an olive
branch being reached out by Putin.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
Okay, I haven't really been following the news over the weekend.
I just know that this happened. Do we have any
indication about whether it was productive? I think I think, right, yeah,
you're right. But I guess the fact he's going now
to meet with Zelensky is a sign that he thinks

(58:33):
that he heard enough that they can now sit down
and continue on.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Yeah, talking right.

Speaker 7 (58:38):
Yeah, pretty much a great to an Article five type
alliance with you know, with Ukraine and the European countries,
which is a big I mean, we would cover all
the security guarantee that for Ukraine, you know that if
you attack one, you attack all that kind of thing.
So that's big, and I think it's going to come down,
come down. At first they were like, you know, Tran

(59:00):
was like, hey, we need to end in the war,
and coming out of that meeting, it's like, Hey, I
think we can come up with a peace deal, but
I think it's some of it's going to be a
land grab where they both have to kind of come
into an agreement, and some of the stuff that Russia's
asking for, I think it's a little unacceptable, and so
I think there's going to have to be a little
give and take there. But that seems to be the

(59:22):
direction it's going. But today is a huge power move
as far as European countries and Ukraine being on the
same page and having an alliance.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
Here's the very absolutely speedy here's.

Speaker 5 (59:32):
The very end of their press conference that they did
after their private behind doors meeting, and Putin does say
something in English, Greg, So if that helps you, if
his voice it is, if you guys want to hear that,
and they're talking about the next time we meet, it
needs to be in my skull.

Speaker 4 (59:51):
Thank you very much, lettermer Next thing in Moscow. Oh
that's an interesting one. No, no, I'll get a little
heat on that one. But I could see it possibly happening.
Thank you very much, and thank you all, thank you, thank.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
You, thank you. Assuming next Timmy Miska, the least Vladimir
had a share it on what if we would have
rode up on the lion.

Speaker 5 (01:00:15):
If he's on the bear, he rolls up.

Speaker 3 (01:00:18):
Bear, I drink next time.

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
I will break you. That's not he's not Austrian.

Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
He's not I will break you. That's Oh, that's the
Rocky break you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
That's good. Well, I see what you're saying. You send
it more like Arnold. We'll be back.

Speaker 8 (01:00:32):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
You know, some of these people we continue to hear from,
how do these how did they end up?

Speaker 8 (01:00:48):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Again?

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
And remember, they can't be elected unless our fellow Americans
elect them. So our biggest concern is about the people
that we interact with. They're really not the problem. They
can't have any power without people willing to vote for them.
So Joy Reid, she makes these bizarre statements all the time.

(01:01:09):
This one, yeah, this one's a doozy uh. And this
one is going to be uh again because she just
lives for race and racial things. This one's going to
start from white people can't invent anything, and I want
to can't invent we can't can't and I want to
I beg to different.

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
You say you line Withney? Okay o, Greg of all
the choices.

Speaker 9 (01:01:33):
But.

Speaker 5 (01:01:35):
It was an important invention. Yeah, right, actually got helped
get rid of slavery.

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
It was always one of the questions when you're a
kid on your test I always remember.

Speaker 5 (01:01:43):
And she's mad because supposedly Trump is auditing the Simithsonian
Museum and uh, trying to get rid of some of
I don't know if y'all have seen some of the examples,
some of the exhibits that they have. It's like the
Statue of Liberty with like blood coming down.

Speaker 3 (01:01:57):
It's just it is.

Speaker 5 (01:01:59):
It's not it's not an accurate portrayal of history at all.
And she's upset that they're getting rid of some of
that stuff where and she's claiming that we're trying to
quote whitewash history and that is not actually happening at all.
You're just trying not to make the entire Smithsonian dedicated
to vilifying America and American history.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
And also caution, she's gonna take a shot at Elvis. Caution. Yeah,
here's joy rid.

Speaker 9 (01:02:27):
They can't fix the history they did. Their ancestors made
this country into a slave a slave hell, but they
can clean it up now because they got the Smithsonian.
They can get rid of all the slavery stuff they got,
prager you they can lie about the history to the children.
They can't originally invent anything more than.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
They ever were able to invent good music.

Speaker 9 (01:02:48):
We black folk gave y'all country music, hip hop, R
and B, jazz, rock and roll. They couldn't even invent that.
But they have to call a white man the king
because they couldn't make rock and roll. So they have
to stamp the king on a man whose main song
was stolen from an overweight black woman.

Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
Why don't you have to say overweight?

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
I don't know. That sounds like a weird Women.

Speaker 1 (01:03:13):
Tend to write songs better than skinny women and usual
white Action's mom. She was a little chunky, she wrote,
Jill House Rock wrote one jail House Rock. I've never
seen so little effort for the name Joe House.

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
And I'm not sure she was fat, and she just
sounds like she was, so you don't know, she might be.
She might has that sound.

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
Yeah, Well, I'm not sure we can say white people
can't invent anything. And I'm sorry, I don't know who
I'm kin to hundreds of years ago, I don't know,
but I'm sorry If I mean I can't be held
responsible for their actions. I can't apologize for them either, Yeah,
because I had nothing to.

Speaker 2 (01:03:59):
Do with it. You reads of the world.

Speaker 7 (01:04:02):
They make a living off constantly pushing the race through.
Oh and so if that's not if that's not at
the forefront, then they don't have anything. So obviously they're
going to create issues. They're going to manufacture problems. They're
gonna constantly keep that in the forefront and everything they say,
because that's all they got.

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
By the way, according to what Adler just said, what
they're considering for the Smithsonian has nothing to do with
going in and taking out the history of the country
and removing removing the slavery era. I don't think anybody's
doing that. But she can go on a show with
the uninformed people.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
And say that, well, they're going to try to change
history from the party that has tried to change history
so many times. I mean, well, what was the one
and I forget who it was, I don't know her name,
But here's how little they know about history.

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
I heard and I don't know who she represents or
where she is. And it was just a clip where
it was a black woman that said that she can't
she doesn't even want to talk to conservative people because
she's not going to talk to the Grand Wizard of
the klu Klux Klan. And I wish someone would have
given her the inconvenience truth. You know, the Grand Wizard
of the ku Klux Klan that those were Democrats, right,

(01:05:14):
they weren't. They weren't conservatives, they weren't Republicans. But again,
but they but know, because history has been changed, they
now have the klu Klux Klan.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
Being a bunch of Republicans. When it was democrats.

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
They they're they're they're they're forgetting that in the South,
those that wanted to keep segregation, we're all Democrats. It
was a bunch of slavery was ending to this country
by a Republican. But again, and when you when you
press them on it, because they don't like facts.

Speaker 2 (01:05:43):
Have you ever heard this move.

Speaker 1 (01:05:45):
That they claimed that the Republican of today was well,
I mean it was, it was the Democrat of that day,
and now the current Democrat is the Republican.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
Have you heard them try that? If you try history,
they'll just move it around. Right, So people, if anybody
has tried to whitewash history, and and uh, and to
change history that that that's been the left.

Speaker 5 (01:06:06):
Abraham Lincoln was also a member of the Republican Party.

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
Yeah, that's what I said.

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
Hey, that's who ended slavery and the Emancipation Proclamation, all
that right out of the Republican Party.

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
Uh. But but anyway, you can't do that.

Speaker 5 (01:06:20):
Did she have to say overweight? By the way, I've
seen that, I know what she's talking about, Big Mama
Thornton version of hound Dog.

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
People do cover songs all the time. Was he not
allowed to do a cover song? Right? Ye?

Speaker 5 (01:06:38):
Also, white people did invent the electric guitar. Now black
people took it and played a blue.

Speaker 3 (01:06:42):
Scale on it.

Speaker 5 (01:06:43):
That sounded phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (01:06:44):
Yeah, let's all work together.

Speaker 5 (01:06:46):
That's called teamwork. That's called teamwork.

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
By the way, you know the Robert Johnson and you
know they deal with the devil.

Speaker 1 (01:06:52):
A new thing, you know, with you know, taking history
and completely changing it and reconstructing it. You know, a
new thing that has been discovered. Now somebody on text
Nation was throwing it out that a whopping one point.

Speaker 2 (01:07:03):
Four percent of Americans wherever slave owners. Yeah, yes, one,
But but you presented like the whole wide world was
exactly and what that's all white people, all white people.
But yeah, uh that that uh that didn't didn't really happen.
And by the way, slavery has been around a really
long time and right now still is going on in
parts of Africa.

Speaker 9 (01:07:22):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
But anyways, but that's all I know, inconvenient but.

Speaker 5 (01:07:26):
Black people have owned slaves than white people.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
That I don't know. Therefore the truth globally, but probably globally,
you're probably right. Uh, let's go to video number two.

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
Another thing where the Democrats are mad about something that
they always did but they won't let anybody else do it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
And that's the redistrict. A redistrict.

Speaker 1 (01:07:46):
They will readdistrict at the drop of a hat, and
they're mad coast now conservatives are doing it. So here's
Kamala Harris. We think she may be drunk trying to
talk about it.

Speaker 5 (01:07:55):
Yeah, that's really just the whole point of this segment
is this little clip, I mean, is she is she drunk? Y?

Speaker 6 (01:08:01):
Y'all?

Speaker 5 (01:08:01):
Let me know what you're thinking they're doing.

Speaker 11 (01:08:02):
They're cheating.

Speaker 5 (01:08:04):
They're cheating there.

Speaker 11 (01:08:06):
They want to change the current system to make it
bend toward the outcome they want. And so you know,
if you believe the public reporting. They get a call
that says, hey, redo your lines, even though the fallout
is going to include exactly what you said, which is,
you know, taking the franchise the vote away from specific

(01:08:30):
communities and in the case of Texas, Latino and black voters, yeah,
and diluting their votes. Okay, and this is not a
sentence here, but this is a year with the big,
beautiful bill and then the unpopularity of it, and so
they want to then the rules.

Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
Good.

Speaker 7 (01:08:54):
Well, I wonder what it's like just to walk around
just make up fairy tale stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:08:58):
And then they might be like, okay, well and then
and again the top and then and then the topic.
We're going to cheat and try to manipulate and change
districts for our benefit. And I mean, they're just they're
just hoping. They're just hoping.

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
You don't know a lot of people they're doing.

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
And and I'm with you.

Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
I noticed all I sees a bunch of empty glasses,
like they've never had anything in them.

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
Something that's been on that table.

Speaker 5 (01:09:23):
Was it was it bottomless Mimosa's morning or something.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
I don't know that she needs some sleep.

Speaker 5 (01:09:27):
But y'all ask Bernie Sanders if the Democrats cheat, Yeah,
ask ask Kamala Harris who got zero votes and just
got put in magically by magic.

Speaker 2 (01:09:36):
Yeah, yeah, it's it's fun.

Speaker 5 (01:09:39):
What if she went on to see and they're trying
to let illegal illegals vote.

Speaker 2 (01:09:43):
To Oh wait, no, that's us.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
That's yeah, Democrats, We'll come back.

Speaker 2 (01:09:54):
Rick Burgers show on screen phone calls.

Speaker 8 (01:09:56):
Go yeah that he's built a Burcola.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
He's gonna have to put in a pickleball court.

Speaker 3 (01:10:06):
In your face delivery. I love the delivery.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
Delivery ball cart. I can see you do right, that
would have you should have done? I didn't think about it.

Speaker 7 (01:10:17):
Yeah, mark away and do it almost had enough room,
do you you know I've noticed you know, we talked
about like this one that Rick goes to.

Speaker 2 (01:10:26):
This is crowded.

Speaker 1 (01:10:27):
People in Lincoln must not be in the pickleball because
they built him a brand new court.

Speaker 2 (01:10:31):
Because I passed it on my way home over day.
I never see anybody you come in it to No,
I'm talking about going on. Oh yeah, now in the morning.
I have seen him playing basketball at two during the
morning now, but not a lot of pickleball.

Speaker 9 (01:10:42):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
I mean they built these nice pickle I've never.

Speaker 1 (01:10:44):
Seen a person on it. Can I just ask this
stereotypical question, do black folks play pickleball?

Speaker 2 (01:10:49):
I don't know white people.

Speaker 5 (01:10:51):
I've never seen a black person playing pickleball.

Speaker 1 (01:10:53):
Right, I'm not talking about Ben Carson, I'm talking about
I mean, okay, no, I'm talking about like the O
you know Tyrone, did they play?

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
I don't. I don't think so. Huh. I don't know.
I never I haven't seen it a lot of it.

Speaker 5 (01:11:07):
Yes, black people do play pickleball, says Google, but the
sport is still predominantly played by white individuals.

Speaker 2 (01:11:14):
Joey Reach, an athletic individual. You know why.

Speaker 1 (01:11:17):
Joey Reach said, they want to say they even trying
to take pickleball from Joey Reach said a black man
invented pickleball, robber.

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
And a fat black woman saying, right, it was a
fat black woman. That's what she's saying.

Speaker 1 (01:11:28):
I mean, you don't know we're live, right, Yeah, you
know I'm quoting this.

Speaker 2 (01:11:33):
It's just stereotypes. Okay, you want to make sure you
don't think we're in the break.

Speaker 5 (01:11:37):
Yeah, fair and smart, Yes, fair and smart. This one
looks like around seven to eight percent and climbing of
pickleball players. Okay, brothers and sisters and good, you know,
good for that's good.

Speaker 2 (01:11:49):
Yeah, well yeah, then people start getting.

Speaker 5 (01:11:51):
Sound Okay, so I don't know why I felt say that.
It doesn't say anything bad.

Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
Like everything else, everything else.

Speaker 1 (01:11:58):
There's going to come a point if I'm a co
you have a pickleball team, I'm gonna want to win the
championship and I'm gonna teach some black people to love.
We're gonna we're gonna dominate pickleball like everything else.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
Yet that's right. Everybody's like, man, you didn't play birds
this team. Maybe he said, you don't want any part
of that? Tell you got some some players. Yeah, I
saw Cam Newton and t Bow playing pickleball a little bit.
Did you see that? No, it's interesting.

Speaker 5 (01:12:31):
Oh you know I did see that and those and
they get into it too, the intense game of pill.

Speaker 1 (01:12:36):
We'll be right back because look, airlines are having enough
trouble right now. Okay, let's face it, we're all just
a little leery.

Speaker 2 (01:12:49):
There's a lot of players dropping out of this guy,
a lot of a lot of and a lot of
them taking off on a lot of problems.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
Greg you're gonna love this one. A Southwest pilot who
t s a called security reeked of booze being arrested
for d U I escorted off the.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
Flat moments before he took off.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
Wow, he's fifty two, was arrested, has been fired from Southwest.

Speaker 2 (01:13:14):
Of course, he did the typical fired.

Speaker 1 (01:13:16):
He does the typical when he's interviewed that he's only
had three beers and that was last night about I
mean like ten twelve hours ago, which is impossible.

Speaker 2 (01:13:23):
Okay, here we go, Sir Marmon haid off that. Yeah,
when's the last time I staid the drink last night?

Speaker 3 (01:13:31):
How many hours ago?

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
Ten hours ago?

Speaker 5 (01:13:34):
At least.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
They're so uncomfortable on that.

Speaker 7 (01:13:40):
A fewers to find a few beers to this, to
find a few beers, it's three okay.

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
Three with a drink like theer. No right, no right?

Speaker 8 (01:13:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:13:52):
Anything else?

Speaker 2 (01:13:53):
Well, that's of fine bills in a beer, Greg.

Speaker 6 (01:13:56):
Who are you with?

Speaker 2 (01:13:58):
Mad?

Speaker 6 (01:13:59):
Fuck?

Speaker 3 (01:14:00):
Wouldn't you be willing to provide uh fill somebody.

Speaker 8 (01:14:04):
With me right now?

Speaker 6 (01:14:04):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:14:05):
Hold on, there's no need. Well, I can smell an
older consistent with an alcoholic bevers Sorry dropped it, ros
Oh why does that haven't been in your mouse. So
now now we're going through the test, and I guess

(01:14:26):
they yeah, I guess they can.

Speaker 5 (01:14:29):
Now this happened back in January, but now it's been
released and okay, so it's uh wow, boy.

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
He had that look on his face. He was busted.
Told he came they said they smelled him when he
came through.

Speaker 5 (01:14:45):
But let me around in the line and the jet
way thing.

Speaker 2 (01:14:49):
What if you're sitting in there my mind.

Speaker 1 (01:14:51):
Look, I'm no medical expert, but you you can't have
three beers and eleven hours later them smell it on
you standing in front of no way.

Speaker 2 (01:14:59):
Picture that go coming over. Ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 7 (01:15:02):
We're sorry for the difficulty, but your pilot has just
getting pulled off the plane.

Speaker 8 (01:15:07):
He's drunk.

Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
He's in the middle of his sobriety test. We'll let
you know how he goes.

Speaker 5 (01:15:11):
He's walking the line. If he passes the line, we'll
get him back on the.

Speaker 1 (01:15:16):
Guys here from the right here, those of you that
are already on board. Uh, your pilot is doing a
sobriety test. He passes that, baby, we'll be right underway.

Speaker 2 (01:15:24):
I mean, I mean, but it's not looking good. Yeah,
he failed, so we're looking for another pilot right now.

Speaker 1 (01:15:32):
We appreciate if you know, moving around stall you stay,
you will your seatbelts on.

Speaker 2 (01:15:36):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:15:37):
If he fails this, baby, we'll get you a new
thought as soon as we can. Wow, but you've got
so much alcohol coming off of you. You know what
they go through t s a their own way. They
smelled it on him and they call it security. Now
I'm with you, Greg, I'm not an expert. Well I

(01:15:57):
have you know, I've played the game, and so I'm
even though I'm not, you know, an expert in the game,
but I'm aware.

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
Of a pretty long career. Yes, I'm aware. I how
the game works.

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
And three beers ten twelve hours ago, nobody smells that
on you walking through Rick it was three, It might
have been four. I know there's always that three. I
don't know why three three?

Speaker 2 (01:16:19):
Your question? Because of those twelve answers.

Speaker 7 (01:16:21):
The long running show Cops or any time show, why
does it always how about you?

Speaker 2 (01:16:26):
Have you got a drink, a few or a couple?
It's always that, Yeah, always when you love from Lukgo,
I had a half case. I'm hammered. I'm driving pretty good.
But if you consider that. Yeah, what if he said
the fact if you want to be factual factual, Yes,
I've had a tremendous amount of drink, but I do
think I can get the playing words cool. Do this

(01:16:49):
all the time? Y'all want to know this. Y'all don't
know how many flights I've already doesn't find that firstlog.
My co pilot is just exception. We're good. Yeah, he'll
pick my slack. I don't worry about it. I'll be
over here sleeping. Did I drink too much? Yes? Did
the Coppola? Not that I could tell. I think he's good.

(01:17:10):
He was, he went and he went on to bed.
So does that?

Speaker 5 (01:17:13):
Is that an f ui flying under the influence instead
of a d U? Y?

Speaker 2 (01:17:17):
I know, well that's I should have said, you are
and you just wanted to say that on top.

Speaker 8 (01:17:21):
Of the this is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 2 (01:17:29):
Now, Is anybody unnerved at all? Video four?

Speaker 1 (01:17:34):
Is anybody unnerved at all? When you saw the footage
of forty thousand Muslims filling the streets and you look
and you went, wow, well there's trouble somewhere. You know,
there's there's somewhere at trouble trouble in.

Speaker 2 (01:17:48):
The Middle East.

Speaker 1 (01:17:49):
Yeah, boy, look at that right there. Well that's a
that's a big protest people. And then all of a
sudden you realize that this is Dearborn, Michigan.

Speaker 2 (01:17:57):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:17:59):
Uh, the largest march in America of Muslims filling the
streets in Dearborn, Michigan. So you remember this was a
part of Fota. This is where they go in and
they just kind of take over the community and you
can try to get themselves voted into power. They hide

(01:18:19):
under things like you know that nobody wants to be Islamophobic,
and they use that against you and then before you
know it, they've kind of taken over the community and
they begin to try to force their Sharia law on everybody.
And they're upset about what are they celebrating something? Are
they mad about something? What brings the forty thousand.

Speaker 5 (01:18:43):
Are by in march?

Speaker 2 (01:18:45):
This is the largest What does that mean?

Speaker 5 (01:18:47):
It is an occasion religious ceremony?

Speaker 2 (01:18:53):
Is this their trade day? What is this?

Speaker 5 (01:18:55):
It boosts solidarity of the Islamic nation and it conveys
a discouraging message to enemies.

Speaker 3 (01:19:03):
Okay, it is a march, and wow.

Speaker 5 (01:19:06):
I can't read a single flag and there's hundreds and
hundreds of huge flags being waved in this crowd of
forty thousand people, and I can't read a single one
of the flags.

Speaker 1 (01:19:14):
Well, they got a cool down, They've got that, and
they said the corn dogs weren't bad, but.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
They were not poor though.

Speaker 5 (01:19:23):
It looks like a gigantic fear, right, yeah, it really does.

Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
So so there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:19:28):
If if you're there, you're kind of wow, look a
look at there we have, you know, major cities all
of the world. I have Sherry told me about this
over the weekend and she doesn't know how how long
ago this interview was from Praguer, you which I know
that Joy Reid doesn't like, but you know, and having

(01:19:50):
Dennis Praguer still not back, you know, he had a
fall that was so severe it paralyzed him. Wow, he's
been in the hospital in physical therapy or something for
I mean a long long time. But anyways, but they're continuing,
you know, with their other hosts and everything. And they
interviewed and I don't know what they what what does

(01:20:11):
Hungry call their person? Is he a president? I know
that they don't have term limits because he's been the
president for like twenty one years. Oh, I don't know
what it's called. What they officially called the person prime
minister prime minister. Okay, so, and they don't have term
limits because he's been this and so you know, he's
getting flak from the European Union because he will not

(01:20:32):
open his borders.

Speaker 2 (01:20:34):
Their borders are completely closed.

Speaker 1 (01:20:37):
And he said, the reason why I'm doing that, uh,
he's and and and the European Union is finding him
a million dollars a day because he won't open and
he said, he's he's a person complaining about the European Union,
like everybody goes. This was supposed to be them to
serve us, the country's in it. Now we've become like

(01:20:57):
we're serving them, like they tell us what to do
and do and and all this. And so he was
talking about their minuscule crime rates and the quality of life,
and he said, we're we're trying to preserve the Hungarian
way of life. And so he said, I'm looking at

(01:21:18):
the some of the larger cities. He goes, London, in Paris,
I mean, they're unrecognizable. And he said, so this open
border thing has has not fared well. And you see
the Americans trying to get their borders at least secure,
and he said, it's not gonna happen here. He said,
a long as I'm Prime Minister, it's not gonna happen.
But I mean he's being fined a million dollars a day.

Speaker 2 (01:21:41):
Really talking about the education and everything there, that that
if you look at the quality of life there, it's
really high. So that's interesting. Yeah, but they have closed
borders completely.

Speaker 5 (01:21:56):
Uh so you talk about the the fall of some
of the world's great cities in which they're totally losing
their cultural identity. No one, like British people don't live
in London anymore, French people don't live in Paris anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:22:10):
That kind of.

Speaker 5 (01:22:11):
Vibey and Charlie Kirk was at Oxford University. I guess
it was just like last week or something like that,
doing one of these open forum debates, and he really
he really lays it down in about ten minutes of
talking about how just like we owe so much, America
owes so much of what we have, like as far
as our society, our country, our rules, our laws are

(01:22:34):
so many things, and you guys are letting that slip
away by having open borders and letting everyone flood in
and not really worrying about are they going to contribute
to society? Are they criminals? Are they going to contribute
to our country and our people. Are they going to
pay taxes? Are they going to learn to speak the
language that we speak in this country, or are they
going to fracture our company, our country? Are they going

(01:22:57):
to you know, bleep pull on the system or are
they going to or are they going to contribute? And
I thought that was just a really great point the
way he laid that out.

Speaker 1 (01:23:06):
Well, I think it's good because you worry about those
that have been indoctrinated into a fake world at mainly
by academia, and it's good that they have a Charlie
Kirk that is younger can communicate. And I think he's
doing a good job of trying to counter that, you know,
because you have somebody our age or older show up

(01:23:26):
and they're not going to listen, but he gets in
there and mixes it up with him. He's trying to
show them, if they'll listen, that they've been brainwashed by
things that aren't real and not true, and he does
a good job of communicating that. He handles himself really well,
so I think I think that's a positive. And so
so we know you're right, and you know, and things like,

(01:23:48):
you know this thing of how the country was, you know,
we're all a bunch of immigrants. Well, there's a difference
in an immigrant and a settler that that you know,
that was sitting here and settled and begin to develop
the country. And there's a huge difference between legal and
illegal immigration, which we know very well. So and it
goes back to that that we did legal because we
wanted to know what asset you would be to our country.

(01:24:10):
And if you were an asset or you were truly fleeing,
you know, tyranny, then then we would you know, we
didn't just have the door open and anybody come in
whenever they want to. Because anybody that can take a
step and put it in front of the other and
walk and chew gum, you can see that's that could
that could turn bad. And as we've mentioned, it's we

(01:24:31):
see examples of it with major cities. Even in our
own country, the sanctuary cities. No one wants to live there.
I mean, they've ruined some beautiful cities because if you
don't vet people, not everybody coming in as an asset,
and some come in bent on destruction, and you don't

(01:24:52):
know that if you don't vet people, it's really pretty logical. Hey,
it's Rick here. I'm inviting you to tomorrow's brand new
Rick Burgess Show. The Vox seats will fill up. We'll
