We got things to discuss today that we want you

(01:33):

York Time bestselling author, sought after speaker all round goodfella
and he has an idea today that we will try
and he's making his way, going to be in the
studio today and it will be a new installment with

(01:55):
Andy Andrews that may be reoccurring if it goes well. Okay,
so he is, he'll be with us coming up a
little bit later on in the program. So we want
to we're going to take a look at that. Also
we're going to discuss today right across America this you know,

(02:16):
when you go back to the thirty one years of
the of the Rick and Bubba Show, obviously we all
participated in that speedy and I for the me the
entire run Speedy basically the entire run, and then Adler
and Greg sixteen to fifteen years of that run. So
obviously anything that we were all doing, we're continuing to do,

(02:37):
you know, characters stuff that we did in the part
that we contributed to the team. But then there's other
things that we're you know, we we don't carry with
us or heyde has it run its course? Do we
want to bring that back? Do we want to continue
to do that. You know, some things have been upgraded
a little bit, changed a little bit, and then things,

(02:58):
of course are just branding you and unique to this
new endeavor. But uh, this read across America thing, We're
kind of like, you know, I basically, well I didn't.
Basically I did read green Eggs and Ham. You know,
I'm still here, so I could do that. Do we
want to do that? Though? Has that? Has that run
its course? Have we have we lost interest in that?

(03:19):
Is that something that you as the audience found yourself
dreading more than looking forward to? Was it? Was it
great for for the youngsters everywhere? And worth the effort
the teachers dig it? Or did everybody did? Did it
have its peak? And then kind of trail off? And

(03:40):
maybe it's had its time? You know that it's that
And I'm I'm really open to any of that, you know,
I'm open to to doing it. I'm open to saying
it ran its course and it's done. But we need
a little feedback from you on now.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah, and we were entertaining just either a quick poll
or a vox verdict where right, maybe a listener that
loves it, uh and and really wants to see it
continue or like someone that maybe doesn't. I like to
have them present their case like uh, and then and
then we have a ruling on it. I know, uh,
Adler is dying to put on the wig and the

(04:15):
gall and here's the gap.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
He really does enjoy us.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
You know, I want to think, I'm sorry, I do
want to do it so I will not be an
impartial judge. I'll be a partial judge. Yeah, it's for
the children. I got kids, man, you got to think
of your kids, right right?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
It is it is And that's kind of where I
go with it a little bit. It's you know, it's
eight minute segment once a year, but you know, for
the kiddos and and the parents and and everybody there,
you know, it's it's great to have that. But again, if.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Another book, I'm just asking, come on, we don't mind
if we've heard that one enough. Oh well, so now
I'm now redfish, blue fish, one fish to fish.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Is that where I am the Hobbit or something?

Speaker 1 (05:01):
The Hobbit? Great book, right, not going to get it
in eight minutes, that's true, but but yeah, you know,
and I'm good with it, but it felt like to
me and I'm not trying to taint the judge, even
though he's alright admitted he is partial. He's not impartial,
but are the audience. But there was a moment where
it felt like it was in its heyday. And I

(05:22):
think the reason why I felt that at one time
we had the ability to know to see a little
better how many classes were involved and how many people
were watching. And then we used to.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
Have live that would come from the little Yeah, they
used to walk across the street.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
And then uh, and then we had the then we
had kind of where the technology moved out ahead of that,
and then it was the hey, put put us on
social media that you're watching. And I felt like at
that point I kind of lost the feel of how
many people were doing it. And then later, you know,
you would get all these pictures and stuff like that,
which was fine, you knowing great, but you remember there

(06:01):
was a time when you knew you know, that was like, okay,
we got this many classes, this many kids.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Well because all the way because on the website we
had a form you feeled right, yeah, and it was
such and such teacher, this class, this location. So to
your point, Ricky was the largest classroom in America, and
we had a list of everybody. Yeah, and it kind
of made us feel like, hey, they're out there. Then
when we asked just okay, we're going to go from
that and it's all about social media, we kind of

(06:29):
lost the feel lost like are y'all still there or
or not? Because the response, although we had one, was
not what we anticipate. Is We thought it might be
a little bit more. Let's just call it and.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
Is it that it?

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Is it that just teachers and parents got busy and
never really sent out a picture of taged us But
they're still there, right.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Or or what?

Speaker 2 (06:49):
And really if you're if you're a grown adult, you
probably don't like it. But that's really let's just be
it's not for you. It's for the kiddos, right.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
It's like pumpkin patches. It's not for you.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
But if everybody's a man, but it is entertaining and
up and listening, I mean even for the kids right right.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
But we don't have that sign up anymore, so we
didn't know.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, we lost the ability to know. And as you said,
when we said tag us, it didn't feel like people
wanted to participate in that.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, yeah, we had something, we would repost it and
it would be a classroom full of kids, and you'd
be like, Okay, that's awesome, you know, but you just
wonder now it is I say for an adult, it's
not for you. I hope you understand what I'm saying.
It was it's still entertaining no matter if you're an
adult or not. Just the way you read it, Rick, Now,
you might could read it as Gary this year.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Man, change it up.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Well if I read it, If I read it, it's Gary.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Now. We're confusing children, right, you know, scary and we're
terrifying children. Hey, I mean, I just don't like green
Eggs and ham bottom line. By the way, Gary finally
teld me the story yesterday that he wants to ask
to It's a doozy. It's a do you caught to
little Lee Hubbard? Yeah? Yeah, because Gary said he talked

(08:02):
to a little Lee Hubbard about it?

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Is that not hilarious? I ain't got the details. Yeah,
he's got to be careful, he's And that's not a
comforting feeling when dealing with Gary. You almost wish you
could take the incident and tell it for Gary. Yeah,
you know, because if Gary tells it, he's gonna tell
it with zero filter. Yeah, he said so many things

(08:26):
when he was telling me, yes, I said, now you
can't say that. The little bit that was shared with me,
I thought they said, there's no way you're making.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
This up right, But wow, oh good night? Okay, yep,
Well back to the green Eggs and ham. If you
really want it, you really got to show out and
let us know and then basically say I've got my class,
I've got my kid, I'm going to communicate with the
teacher ye and and we're gonna show you that we
want it, right, that's kind of really what we need.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Glenn on YouTube says, why change tradition? Cal on YouTube
YouTube says, I'm thirty seven and I still enjoy it.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Oh, there you go. Okay. On the two on the
text line me personally, I'm done with it. Are there's
a shocker? Uh? The text line you've got some hate
it's and you've got.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Some love it.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Okay, So you know that's well, well, we'll get your
feedback on that. Today. We may do something official like
a box verdict, okay. And that means that somebody's going
to make the case on why it should end, and
somebody's gonna make the case and why it should continue,
and then the jury will vote, and then the judge
will rule.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Do you expect the court respect you?

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Will you follow the laws?

Speaker 6 (09:40):
I will.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
I will be corrupt and crooked like Joe Biden's just assistancy.

Speaker 5 (09:46):
Yes, this is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
All right. So, speaking of health, Speedy, you were telling
us now, right now, this show is being done by
a sixty year old, a fifty eight year old, Speedy,
where you fifty six? Adler? You're thirty nine, thirty nine,
little baby, there's our little baby.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Bully a thousand years old.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Right, but really there's days where I think Adler may
feel the oldest. Yeah, just by the way he feels.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
But so run down by my children. They're killing me, right, yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Little children. It's not it's not. It's not for the
it's not for the pansy.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
No.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
So nowhere is aging strong, so and so much energy.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah, so so angry, so upset, so speedy.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
You you had this this thing of people treating I
can't get in my mind our age, I know. And
you had a situation involving the pharmacy.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
What Yeah, I just had to run through the pharmacy
yesterday and grab something and after they you know, they
got what we needed and was ringing me out. She said, now,
mister Wilburn, I do want you to know that you
we have on here. You really need to get your
shingles shot.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
And I went, oh, careful saying that one.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
I know, I said, if you noticed, I had to
slow down and you really were tapping those brakes in
that parking spot. Try new macco pneumonia shot.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
You get that new macock on the mona.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, we're bone right right, And and it just made
me just I just I looked around to see did
anybody hear that?

Speaker 1 (11:29):
You know?

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Luckily I was the only one in line, and yeah, yeah,
I just have the jeritals I still have. And the lady,
she was a little younger, you know, behind the counter,
and I said, wow, that just hit hard. She started laughing.
She yeah, mostly it does. We hear that a lot.
She said, but you are you need to get it

(11:49):
because you don't want shingles. I'll tell you that. And
I was like, wow, said you really really sell Yeah,
and it just I don't just I just walked to
the car like.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Shingles one time. Wasn't that a deal you did? Yeah?
I thought I shook it off like it was nothing.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Did you have shingles? Wins, you have shingles?

Speaker 1 (12:06):
That was newcl pneumonia.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
No, I don't know if you had Shane. Did you
didn't have Shane.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
I thought you did. I don't know you didn't have shame.
You had a story about you shingling. It was somewhere
around two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, right
in there. Yeah, I was at the show. I remember. Really,
maybe you thought it was shingles.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
I think it was because you know, if you have shingles.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
How bad was it?

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Like?

Speaker 3 (12:27):
How do you I want your body?

Speaker 1 (12:29):
I had those things breaking out on me. I didn't
feel great, but my goodness, I just I just pushed
through it, like right, I mean, well you hear it
wasn't that big a deal.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
I get it like that.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Because you never know where it's going to hit, you know.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
I mean, it's I don't want shingles. And again they
do act like it's it's like the booger bear. I mean,
look out, well, look well we're hawking shots now and
make it tomorrow. And which what is it? If you've
had chicken pox, you get the shingles. Is that what
it was?

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah, they say there's somehow connect its laying dormant and you.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
After a person that's chicken box. Yes, right, the virus
remains dormant in the body and just nerve cells. The
virus reactivates later in life, causing shingles.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
And you look, it could come up on your arm,
your back, your your stomach, or could come up on
it righting them just all right on your cheek.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Did you have a bad case of chicken pos when
you're a kid. I think I had a pretty bad case.
I kind of remember that. I mean I was like four, Yeah,
I was real young.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
I just walked back to the cars, just walking through
the parking lot, like wow, do you remember you said
I need to get shingles?

Speaker 6 (13:34):
Right?

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Do you remember? And this is this is really gonna
drop home what you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Spirit.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
I remember when they would they would run commercials about pharmaceuticals.
Now they don't not like they do now. And I
saw were RFK juniors even considering almost that cigarettes that
he's gonna limit how much marketing they can do or
wants to do or something calmed down on some stuff. Well, yeah,
but anyway, you get stuff I like, but most of
the things that I would look at they would always

(14:02):
throw out who needed it, and I was never in there.
I was like, oh yeah, I'm too young for that.
Now when they throw it out, I'm like, wow, I'm
like full blown. Who you're talking to? Yeah, I'm the
target Wait, I'm the target audience for this vaccine and
this whatever. Let me ask you this. Basically, they're telling
me that I've reached the point other people can get

(14:22):
pneumonia and be fine. It's gonna kill you.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Oh man, yeah yeah. But my initial response was, no,
I'm I'm I'm a junior. I got I'm not John
Calvin Woburn senior. I'm junior. That's my dad you're thinking of.
And then I realized, no, I am fifty six. He's
just dawn to me. Try to really try to sell
it to You can come out over here if you
want to just get it.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
Why are all these pharmaceutical commercials they have to dance?

Speaker 1 (14:47):
They think that's the only way to get the mess.
If you know everyone, they're roll in.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Line and they want you to think they're happy. We're
happy we're dancing, right yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
I mean and then they they they're supposed to be
showing us we should all be dancing with joy the
this I mean, the shot is available. I mean, what's
the dancing they Are they dancing after the shot or
they dancing because of the shot? Are they dancing in
celebration of its availability?

Speaker 4 (15:12):
There's the one is the guy he's kind of got
the white man disease. He's trying to dance out there,
you know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
He's a kind of buff guy. You can't quite get
stay up.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Then they go side effects, his dry mouth, massive dirhea,
this kind of possible death, and then they're still dancing.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
There's not to dance about, well they just said. But
then there's one with that kind of chunky lady. Then
she's very coordinated though.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yeah, so you had to tell us he's kind of chunky,
but she can you know, have I love to dance?

Speaker 6 (15:40):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (15:40):
I love to see chunky people who can move you
know what?

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, oh yeah, chunky people good feet.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
Speaking of chunk of people that can move, you'all remember
during COVID when they're like the hospitals are overloaded.

Speaker 7 (15:49):
It's the worst pandemic in history, and.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Yet, for some reason, all these nurses can work on
this choreographed dance.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Even kind of funny with the flu numbers and what
we're experiencing, I'm hearing crazy numbers with that. Sad too.
How many people are either hospitalized or the deaths and
the media is really not covering it.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, man, I will say three thousand deaths for flu
is pretty normal.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah No, I'm just saying it's like fifty thousand hospitalizations,
you know, three thousand deaths anyway, I'm just saying if
it was COVID, it would have been they'd have.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
A counter on CNN and saying Trump is killing even
these people with his bare hands.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah. Well, I think they've also learned that, you know,
fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, share
on me.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
You remember us saying there was a time when all
this was called getting sick. Sure, and people who are
more susceptible and not and not maybe healthy or maybe
their immune system has been compromised by cancer treatments. There's
people that have always been at higher risk from anything
than other people. Uh, And that's it. That's horrible and
you need to be you know, wise when it comes

(16:53):
to that. And we also need to look after them
any way we can by not putting them at unnecessary risks.
But that's kind of been the case as long as
there's been sickness. But you know, we have this. We
all have the same doctor here, and what he told
you about the shingles vaccine is gonna make you feel
bad all weekend. I'm out. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
Hey, remember when we said I don't have.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
I don't have a weekend. I can feel bad.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Remember when we said it came from elab and then
we were right.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, So Greg, I know
that we were talking about so that a lot about
the shingles thing coming in got all that. Thank y'all
for that, and they are, you are right. There's different degrees.
And I think what I had back in you know,

(17:41):
the first ten years of the New Millennium. It was
two thousand and eight nine somewhere in there. I think
I just had a mild case. They said there's mild cases,
there's severe cases. I understand that. I just I'm just
saying that when I had them for me, it wasn't
any big deal. But that means I had a mild case.
So you need to make decisions with your doctor that

(18:01):
are best for you because if you get up, if
you get a rough case, it's a miserable experience, no
doubt about that.

Speaker 6 (18:07):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
And so we were talking about, you know, people are
agreeing with you, Greg that for some reason, most of
these pharmaceutical commercials involve chunky people who can dance. We
don't know why. But you said, there's something else that
you'd like to stamp out. I'm done with this too.

Speaker 4 (18:22):
This thing where we do a heart with our hand,
We're over doing that everybody, I mean every situation.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
You're right, first of people. A lot of people are
struggling trying to do it right. You know, this is that.
I'm done with that. We can move on something else.
Can I tell you that I'm pretty confident. Matter of fact,
I don't even have any reservation. I've never done it
and I never will. There's no way I look at
people because there's something they're not thinking. Does it really

(18:48):
look like heart? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Does it really?

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah? You know I have to do it? Then that
does not so much? Here yeah, here, here, here's an idea.
Whatever happened to thank you? And they don't love everybody
they're doing it? No, of course they don't. If it's
if it's saying I love you, I'm grateful. Why don't
you just say thank you? Yeah, everybody in the arena,
I'm not doing you'll.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
See this, y'all seen this. It's like you come at
somebody with like a raptor claw with his two fingers.
You're supposed to do the opposite.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
So we make a heart together. Oh, you're making this
up out. This is not happening. This is not Oh wow,
we love that means we're really nice. Who's doing that?
And we love everybody who's doing that? People.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Okay, oh god, I'm so glad you're off camera because everybody.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Let's never do that again. Well, and and that really
start right here. Oh yeah, they.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Do it to the camera too.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
This is let me get out, greg. And you know,
one thing of the worst, Like somebody comes onto the
stage or something. Oh they like that. We're coming down
and I'm like you, I've got my fingers don't work.
There's broke up and yeah all that. I don't. I don't.
I don't even think it's like a heart. No, not really.
I think I mean you got to get it perfect
in the perfect angle.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Yeah, don't work for it. My thumbs don't work for
the bottom of the look squared off.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Everybody agrees with you. Great people. People are coming on
the text option just saying amen that you talk about
something overdone and just let's move off this.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, when it.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
First started, I wasn't sure what it was. I thought,
or is that you the bird right wad their fingers up?
And then I got I was supposed to be a heart.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
See I kind of put that If I'm putting up
a heart, that means I love everybody.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Is that what it means? I guess? Yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
Love you wouldn't know about it.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
What kind of love are we talking about? Are we
talking about me? Are we talking about the kind of
love that is demanded by our Lord and Savior of
Jesus Christ, That we're to love people enough not to
dislike them so much that we wouldn't be willing to
hope redemption for them. Now that that one, that one.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
I think it's that.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
I think it's a god well that that would be
a yeah, yeah, that is a GOP love I'm in on.
But this thing of everybody is wonderful to you with
or be around, or desire to be And no, that's
just not true. Yeah, and you feel it. It feels forced. Well,
I got to do this hard thing, so I don't
think i'm a.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Well it's also strakes to both hands. It's a little
hard to do, like you're saying, Greg.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
Is also that thing that recursing nothing from me except
a hand signal.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
Look, look, Taylor Swift can do it. That's pretty much.
That's it, right.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
I'm glad that Taylor Swift whatever happened to a heartfelt Hey,
I just want to thank all of y'all for being here.
This means so much to me, it really does. I mean,
if it weren't for you, you know, I wouldn't I
wouldn't have the life I have. You're you've been so
supportive of me. I want to give you a great
show tonight as my way of saying thank you. What's
wrong with that? Doesn't that feel a little more sincere

(21:42):
than that you did some hand sign to me? Right?
And for all we know, it's I'm gonna start doing
it every day to get show going. I honestly don't.
I honestly don't think I can do it. That one
there looks like what is that? Scared somebody? That's the
raptor cloth is this the raptor cloth thing I'm talking about.
They're they're asking me to do things with my with

(22:04):
my hands. I can't even do. I couldn't do that.
People would look at me and goes looking at like, you're.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Pretty good, Adler.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
I did it yesterday to the camera and the break
you did. I just remembering that right now.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Yeah, so you were telling wow, that's not.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
I'm not proud of it.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
You've done it, did yesterday do the.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
Camera and I'm remembering now. I don't know. I got
a four year old daughter.

Speaker 5 (22:32):
I'm weak.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Getting me up, I'm softy now.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
That that one that was Let's bring back here's the church,
here's the steeple and see all the people. There's the people.
We used to do that. You the first time you
saw it, you thought, man, I wish I could do.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
That because I did it wrong and I had him
like this and I couldn't have the people. The church
was empty when I opened it.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
I have to, you have to. I want to show
the people the thing that dad taught us. But looking back,
is that a bad thing when he pull his thumb off,
no this and then like this and you go, yeah,
completely forgot, do you.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Know what you're doing.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Great, Dad was He's just a funny thing. I don't
think that's a I don't think that's like a Wiener joker.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
No, no, no, no, forget my dad, my dad, my dad.
That really embraced the hand sign. That is not a
good one. Yeah, and just a finger. Matter of fact,
that one of the most dangerous things about him with
Alzheimer's is he would he would do it to people
like it restaurants and stuff, and we're like, Dad, you can't.
That's a serious almost breeding people. He somehow flipped it

(23:53):
into he was actually positive. It was like, I don't
mean anything about that. I'm like, well, pretty people don't
get that. Yeah you so, yeah, that's got one meaning.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
I forgot about, Rick. You need to stop doing that.
I forgot about So I'm walking in the in the
mall at carrying Tyler. He's tiny, tiny, and I'm carrying him,
and all of a suden a guy comes up to
me and he tasked me on the show, and he goes,
I just want to let you know your son has
been using that superberg uh the entire wagon where he

(24:24):
got it right at I'm like what he didn't even
know what he was doing. I don't know where he
learned it, probably Uncle Greg. It's quite an embarrassing moment
if you deserve it.

Speaker 5 (24:36):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Texting talking about this, Greg wants to ban and boys.
He's really getting a lot of fanfare in support that
we will remove, like we did a lot of things
from our society.

Speaker 8 (24:56):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
We were for removing the hand heart son.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Textures saying a male sorry, Adlers should never have done
it ever, not even once. No man, someone saying Rick,
with your hands, all you can show us is a
broken heart. That's hilarious, funny. So anyway, we'll do our
part to ban that. So we got a couple of
things to work through today. Andy Andrews coming up a

(25:23):
little bit later on in the program, and it's gonna
be a potential new segment.

Speaker 9 (25:28):
You know.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Everything we're throwing out, we go, yay, that work that
went well. Some things will make it, some things won't.
That's just the process of doing what we all do
for a living. But we'll try something with Andy that
I found interesting and we'll see if you do too.
Coming up a little bit later on the program, and
it is another opportunity for you to win some cool stuff,
so stand.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
By for that.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
This is a video audio that we've had for a
little bit. I know it's I think at least this
is day two. It's pretty good. There's a young woman
that has moved from to U to the United States
from South Africa. And of course, you know our connections
to South Africa with you know, John Thomas and everything

(26:11):
he has to do. And it's a it's an incredible place.
If you've never been to South Africa. We're talking about
going back here probably maybe next year. There is no
place on Earth like it.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Visually, Cape Town, isn't that where you at?

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah? Crazy, I went to the most southern part of
the continent of Africa because you can there it's just
and then of course the culture there is very interesting
but also just and they and they say this themselves,
extremely chaotic. You know, the fall of apartheid was something
that needed to take place, that was certainly evil. But boy,

(26:49):
after that that, you know, once Mandela kept it really
really stable, but once he went on in it really
is is a chaotic grab for power. Now and then
you have all the different tribal languages and then you
have the the English. Uh, it you know, you've got
the British that's been there, you got the Afrikaans that
they're there, and then you've got all the different tribes.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
It is a very chaotic.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Place, but but it's probably one of the most beautiful
places I've ever seen. So here's someone and that or
set this up that has now moved here from what
we just talked about from South Africa, and they're talking
about what.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
Just culture shock moving from South Africa to the USA,
and some of these things strike me as like, well, no,
that's not that's I like that about American culture, and
some of it's like, okay, that's a good point.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Okay, all right, this is gonna be very interesting.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
See South African and yes, Greg's she does have white skin. Greg,
don't like that.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
So would this be from the British or the Afrikaans.
Probably Afrikaan, I bet okay, I would think, don't you
think from the Dutch? Are they Dutch German?

Speaker 6 (27:52):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (27:52):
There you go. They just have a very harsh accent.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
Hers is pretty easy.

Speaker 9 (27:57):
Culture shocks I experienced as a South African moving to
the United States. Well, the first thing is is seeing
the USA flex on everyone's front porch, their room against
the wall everywhere.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
That's because we love America for example.

Speaker 9 (28:14):
The second thing is definitely how the mighty looks. Our
money in South Africa is different colors, kind of like
monopoly money. So the one hundred rand bill is blue,
the fifty one is red, where in the States, I
feel like all the bills are the exact same. And
why do they also have a one dollar bill like
paper if at that small amount it should be a

(28:37):
coin in my opinion. That another one is that tax
is not included on the price tag at all, Like
you see the price and then when you go and pay,
it's more they don't include it on the price tag.

Speaker 7 (28:52):
That's my biggest.

Speaker 9 (28:53):
Shock was definitely the first time I went to a
restaurant when I paid for my food and they walked
away with my credit card. I did not know what
was happening. So basically, when you're done eating and you
get your bill or the amount of money that you
have to pay your slip, then you give them your card,

(29:15):
they leave and then they come back and then you
give you write down the tip. So that in South
Africa they come to you, they have a machine, you
put the card in the machine, they don't leave with
your card like that was so scary to me. The
last one, I want to talk about small talk. I've

(29:36):
been in so many situations where someone walks past me
here in the States and go like, hey, how are
you doing today? And then they just keep walking and
I'm like, Oh, I'm doing good, and then it's like okay, bye.
I don't know. It's just sometimes people here ask you
how you are and then they just keep walkingly.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
Don't want to know how you want? No, you're right.
You remember the time I've told the story many times
and a cashier called me on it, absolutely caught me
on it. I was like, hey, how are you and
apparently she was not having a good day. She goes,
do you really want to know? And I said, no,
I'm just making You're right, I don't want to know.
I'm kind of I got a texture on this too.
She has no accent. I know she's faking. I don't

(30:21):
think she's from South Africa. I think I've never heard
anybody from South Africa, white or black, that had zero accent.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
I think I think the younger kids, it's not as strong.
She was pretty young. She looked early twenties.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
I would say she would have to be more on
the British side. I was wrong. There's no way she'd
be Afrikaan and have so little nacid British. The Afrikaans
are right an here. They told like these.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Okay, you know the budgets is.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
It's really thick.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Okay, Now, a couple of things. I know some restaurants
are now letting you pay the bill in front of them.
Pro that, but some they're starting.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
To he's still walking away with mine.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
I've ever like that and write your number down. Then
what right?

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Yeah, next thing, you know, dragging bread.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Yeah, you see a lot of restaurants which I think
we like that are bringing the pad to the table.
We just inserted there, we put the tip in there,
and then we get it back. Yeah. But you're right,
there's still a lot of them when they go off
of that card and they're gone. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Now the price tag thing, I wouldn't mind that. It's like, okay,
this is what you're actually going to pay. We've included
tax and everything.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Point on the fake South African on that, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
That fakes for South African. Made a good point of that,
and then the hey how's it going, how's it going? Yeah,
we ask how are you?

Speaker 1 (31:38):
I don't know you, but I really don't know how
you are. It's so dishonest.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
You don't want to you knowing though it's it's understood.
I don't really mean how are you doing? It's just
a high, that's hey.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
It's more of just a hey.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
I usually go there morning, having a good day. What
about this? When you're getting too far away? And this
happens to me a lot here, Hey, how are you?
I'm good? How about you? And I'm like, I'm away now.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
From you?

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Do I now go back up?

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Doing great?

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (32:04):
You I have started?

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Where do the stop?

Speaker 3 (32:07):
I'm here?

Speaker 1 (32:07):
That's half the battle? Yea working hard or hardly working?

Speaker 7 (32:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (32:16):
How about the weather?

Speaker 3 (32:16):
You got a cold?

Speaker 1 (32:17):
One?

Speaker 3 (32:19):
I've got.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
We've covered what you know good. We've never figured out
to get answer to that. That's why I got rid
of it.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
I've started responding. If people say how's it going, I say,
I just say hello. I just say hello back that
they're really saying.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Do you wave like that?

Speaker 7 (32:32):
Hell?

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Tell me you don't do that. No, wonder you're making
the heart sound with your hands. Well I don't like you.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
I don't either, Okay, Hell, Then I got to check
my testos. But when people to say how's it going,
I am generally saying hello. I don't say how are
you back? I just say hello, because that's what they're
actually saying.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Well, they think you're weird because that's.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
Well, join the club. Everybody does. Greg, Okay, it's a
large club.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
The American flag not exclusive at all.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Go ahead, the American flag thing. She just got to
get over that in America.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
I was gonna say, my built in response sometimes is
not what they say, because you know, you don't really
pay attention, you know, like, uh, good morning, you're doing good.
You know, it's like, oh wow, I just ever you
don't come back like that. When I was checking into
the hotels or checking out, they're like, have to travel
safely like you too. When I stop said, I'm sorry,

(33:25):
you're not traveling.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
When Brian Reagan did the bid on that, when Brian
Reagan did that monologue on that so good, he was
so all over that, and have a nice fly you
too if you ever fly again, you know, if someday
you'll fly, you know, but someday.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
Yeah, ended with like take luck, good luck and take care.

Speaker 6 (33:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
There's a lot of reasons we do things here too,
though it's Gordon. I'd like to know what part of
the country she lives in, because I can find her
some of our cities and it'll be a lot like
South Africa. Nobody will speak to you, and there's a
lot of crime.

Speaker 5 (34:03):
Is the Rick Burgess Show?

Speaker 1 (34:10):
All right, So let's let's get into this next thing
and let's get it resolved, okay, because that way we
kind of know how to proceed. When we started the
Rick Burgess Show, we were given a clean slate to
keep whatever we wanted to keep from, you know, things
that we all contributed, and also to end anything we

(34:32):
wanted to end. Okay, some things that had run their course.
Clean slate, Yeah, you know, a little bit of the old,
a little bit of the new, you know. Hey, you know,
like like things that you know, we were saying, that's
retired and that's gone, okay, and you know, like I
said earlier, characters that we all did as individuals certainly
still can do those and the ones that are worthy

(34:54):
and will continue to do and have and and all that.
But we have a clean slate and there are some
things that you know, the end date from the thirty
one years of Rick and Bubba. It's just over. And
that's fine. It served its purpose. It was fantastic. We
loved it, but it's not carried into the new project.

(35:16):
Read across America. Okay, so Read across America is now.
We have it on the table there.

Speaker 10 (35:23):
It is.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Uh, there's an attitude that it is over. There were
a number of years of that, and it's tied to
the Rick and Bubba days too much, and it doesn't
belong in the new There are others that are like, well,

(35:45):
it's a Rick's the one who read the story. He's
still here. Why won't y'all just continue to do it?
The teachers and the kids love it, So we're going
to I guess, I mean when when you when you
think about it, I think that what we can do
is we can take it to you know, to our

(36:06):
you know, our new found big box verdict. Adler is
putting on his wig, Grace's look at that wig, putting
on his robe, getting out his his gabbl and and.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
We're not an we should be in session. It's going
it is a starting now not adjourned. It should be
it should be.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
And I adjourn begin they're using you're using that rock.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
You're using you're using that wrong. Okay. Yeah, court is
in session, all right, So what we need We need witnesses. Okay,
Now here's what I was saying. We can do. We
can do it. Wonderfew ways we can come back and
get on the phones. Just fill them up with people
who are pro are against, and hear them. Okay, we

(37:03):
could just do two people, one who's four, one who's against.
They plead the case. We we as the jury, make
our vote the judge. Then here's the verdict.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
A pool of witnesses might be good.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
Okay, thank you.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
So so you don't have to hit that airy time.
So yeah, the texts are already flying.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
In so yeah, so why don't we do this? Why
don't we fill up the phones with anybody who wants
to be witnesses. Now, we need witnesses that are four
keeping read across America, and then you make your case
on why, and then we have to those be for
those that say I'm against it, don't want it. Okay,

(37:44):
we need a little bit of both. So the number
is eight eight eight, the number six big vox. So
we'll come back, we'll hear from witnesses. Adam, you you'll
you'll have to rule on you know, whether they're you know,
if you need to do anything, you do, because I
know you're dying to all over. Right, Yeah, and then
we and then we will as the jury will hear

(38:09):
the case be made for and against, and then we
will we will give our vote and then we will
have a verdict and that'll be it. Okay, okay, y'
all know my vote.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Well, yeah, we're raising our breath. Will you please, I
guess you're against kids?

Speaker 1 (38:21):
Will you please please think of the children? Will you
please listen? So somebody, somebody says they have a court
day tomorrow. All right, So if you want to weigh
in on this, read across America, make your case for it,
make your case against it. We need witnesses now at

(38:43):
eight eight eight six, big box, and we'll have court next.

Speaker 5 (38:49):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
So we have the witnesses read across America. What we're
here is the case is that does this make it
into the new show or is it something that is
forever retired? And we got people who make a case
for keeping it, and people will make a case against it.
We the jury will give our conclusion and then the

(39:17):
judge will rule Adler, Okay, all.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Right, court is in recess. Playball.

Speaker 10 (39:23):
No we're not.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
We're not.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
We're not in recess.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
We're now in court.

Speaker 5 (39:27):
Is in order.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
Let's play recess begins.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Judge the lawyer would like to bring to the to
the jury. Lisa, Lisa, you're making a case to keep it.

Speaker 10 (39:40):
Go ahead, Hey, listen, you've got to keep it. It
is a life lesson. The first time I ever heard it,
I was just kind of doing a dead end job,
well not a dead end, but just in an office.
And my parents had always told me, you're a natural
born salesperson. You've got to be a salesperson. And that

(40:01):
motivated me to go out and get into sales. And
now I am so happy.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Wow.

Speaker 10 (40:06):
And it's not just for salespeople. It is also for
perseverance in life. I mean, the way Rick explains it
about how Sam I am never gives up, I mean,
he just he makes it so real. And it's such
a life lesson, whether you're in sales or just trying
to get through your day. You got to keep it.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
Admissible.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
So I guess her argument is it's not just about
kids and.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
All that, ye, right, Because I'm hearing motivation, motivate her,
never give up.

Speaker 6 (40:34):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
We would also like to call in witness Tom, who's
done with it? Tom? Make your case.

Speaker 11 (40:41):
I'm done with it. It's run its course, you did
great with it. I never did like green eggs and
Ham as a kid and never had their real it
wor stride Anyway, I'm like, what is green eggs and ham?
You know black aam but I never had green eggs.
So I'm just done.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
Okay, I thought there really green age. So Tom, Tom
doesn't want to keep it. He really makes no other case.
I think he's just done with it, like green eggs
and never liked it.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
Objection grumpy Uh.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Deborah in uh in Jacksonville. She would like to be
a witness on keeping it. Deborah, go ahead. Yes, I
think that reading is interval to children and their their
their development and I and nothing's better than.

Speaker 11 (41:33):
Doctor Seuss and green Eggs and Ham. So I think
you all should keep it.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
It's a great books, and you guys think it interesting
for the children and the adults listen, so keep it. Okay,
She's for the kids, but saying it's also yeah, great gardens.
Looking discussion, She's supposed to be engaging the witness.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
Injection confrontational badgering a witness.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
Uh, if you can see at he's got his wig
on and everything.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
Hey, and I got to give that lady the prophets.
He had a clear case of someone think of the children.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Right right now, guys, I'm noticing a trend. Two women
for it, one dude against it. Here is h here's
another witness for against it. It is the name clip clip clip.

Speaker 12 (42:19):
All right, try Cliff c l I F.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
F Cliff, all right, go ahead, no records.

Speaker 12 (42:26):
It's like something else. I heard a generation last twenty
five years. We're in a new generation. We've opened a
new chapter. We need to get rid of it. It doesn't
matter whether the kids like or not. Everything about the
Rick Burger Show is all new and all new and
exciting and all different things. Let's get rid of it.
Let's replace it with something new.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
All right, he said, too tied to the past. H
the he's on that next. You're with them, and he
says to him, to him, it's running courtse thank you.

Speaker 4 (42:53):
Clip clip made a good pol You thought somebody's name
was Cliff remembers.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
It was already in there. And I think that means it.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
Was you, and I know what, I don't think somebody's
name's Clip. Thanks for Carl, I put it in there,
well I did.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
I put it in that. Good to hear from Clip.
He said he's done. Also, we're going to do this
because right now we have two women want to keep it,
two men do not. Here's Carl that is going to
make a case to keep it. And he's a dude,
so I think we need his perspective. All right, so
far we haven't heard from a guy who wants to

(43:31):
keep it. Carl, go ahead.

Speaker 6 (43:34):
Well, with the state of our school system, I believe
the children are not able to read at their actual
grade level, and their mathematics scores are down too. But
we're not going into math. We're talking about reading and
there's not a fifteen year old kid that can read.
Curse it. So let's keep it.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
Stupid for the state of the educational system. That was Carl.
Let's call Rick in to say it kids and we
give you. There are teachers that taught me that are screaming,
screaming at the TV, screaming at the radio, at their phone. Rick,

(44:15):
got it. That's happened, all right. So if I remember correctly.
Lisa made the case that it motivated her to leave
a dead end job, and she was an adult. It
became a salespersons. Then we had we had time it said, look,
I'm just tired of it. I'm done with it. Then
we had any thought there actually were green eggs. And
now then another woman said it's good for the kids,

(44:38):
but also and we make it, we make it entertaining,
even for the adults. And then we had another We
had Cliff who said it's too tied to the old
I thought, we're on that next, I think it should
be replaced with something else or just not be part
of the new thing. And and then at the end,

(44:58):
Carl says, the state of the education system demands that
you keep working to help children read. And then Greg
points out, you sure Rick's a guy for that job,
And what a what a valid point from fellow juror.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
I'm seeing a comment on YouTube and on the chat
text or the texters whatever saying I am read across
America is the reason I am married to my husband.
I don't know if that's the same person, but that's.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
A weird way to meet somebody.

Speaker 4 (45:25):
Here we go, You know, I was seeing on my
loan read green Egg exam.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
I'm all right, what is a guy's name is Sam?

Speaker 2 (45:44):
You may think you don't like.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
Me, but you do Jackson Gregg's being a hater.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
Try me and you'll see when we come back. The
jury takes all this information, we will give our opinion
and the judge will accept our verdict or he will not.
So bottom of the hour, we'll be right back.

Speaker 5 (46:07):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
So it's time for us to to make our ruling.
And we we have the witnesses. We we also have
have been watching the text.

Speaker 6 (46:27):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
You guys are giving us instant feedback and that has
been that has been beneficial as well. Speedy is so
distraught about it. He's he's left, he's left the jury.
He said, where did he go? I mean and wanted
some coffee? Really and so Speedy went to get coffee
like with the right before the break was almost over.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Me. Did he lose? Did he lose? He lose?

Speaker 1 (46:49):
Time?

Speaker 12 (46:50):
He did?

Speaker 1 (46:50):
He did? All right? So, so so we we have
a judge. Are you ready in there? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (46:56):
Okay, So order in the court.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
So there's three jurors, so you know we will get
a majority here and and then you know you can
accept that verdict, right, yeah, I mean, can you overrule
you are said you already said you're a partial judge.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
I am partial. I will admit I'm not impartial. I'm
a partial judge.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
We do.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
We only have two jurors. I generally follow the ruling
of the dur.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
Yeah, that was one of those things where you lost
all concept of time along.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
I wanted to take care of Andy anytime he's here.
That's right, Okay, so you know what I have. Y'all ruled, No,
we have not.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
Okay, all right, so let's get let's get one over with.
Let's get one. Let's get one over with. And that,
of course will be great, all right, because we know,
we know where you are. You've actually been giving us
your your ruling, you know, since it was brought up.
We've all got to work today. First of all, everybody
knows doctor Sus was a communist. Everybody knows that. Well, look,

(48:02):
I just think it's time to move on from it.
That's all.

Speaker 4 (48:04):
When we used to do it and the kids would
come and sit in here, it was a big deal.
I think over the years it's kind of dropped off
a little bit, and I thought, that's the thing we
need to move on. But if you do it, you
need to do them little hard hands.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
If you do no come.

Speaker 13 (48:16):
On objection hating so speedy, all right, as a person
that tries to see the good and things her fault.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
I heard a common theme from the callers that wanted
it motivating, happy, never give up, promote reading, interesting, entertaining.
For the ones that were against it was never liked it,
done with it, gregged.

Speaker 8 (48:43):
My hero.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Was yeah, Greg, I want to have a baby. Okay,
I didn't hear anything so, but it is. I feel
like that next generation of Rick Burgess show listeners to
promote the show. I feel like it's good. Now do
we need to change the book? Do we need to
do it like twas the night before Christmas? We're different characters, right,

(49:07):
I don't know before Christmas? You know how we do
different characters. I don't know what that looks like. I'm
up for changing the book if we need to. But
I just think it's a great way for us to
get into the schools where lots of kids go home
they're talking about Rick Burges's show, and the teacher likes it,
and the you know. So to me, I say, we

(49:27):
keep it, and now what it looks like we can change.
But I think the overall concept, I say we keep.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
Okay, judge anything on that.

Speaker 3 (49:37):
I think that's an objection. I think that's a good plan.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
Okay. So wow, you really are not You are partial
and very partial, and we can't ask Andy Andrews. I
mean he writes books, of course.

Speaker 10 (49:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
I mean, you know, you think a book is going
to be an anti read across America.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
You know, I like reading the kids is stupid, so.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
I read to my grandkids all the time. He does.
Here's where I am on this, and I really am
torn because I think there have been incredible points made
that you could go either way and be right. And
it's one of those rulings where somebody is not going
to be happy. And we know that every segment that

(50:22):
there are people that think it was the greatest segment ever.
And then people say, and I didn't get it or
I didn't like it. There's you never hit one hundred percent,
you know, never ever, okay, And you have to learn
that and not get analysis paralysis. It's probably one of
the hardest things to do in our line of work.
Is not to get analysis paralysis. You're hearing so many
voices with so many different opinions. At some point you

(50:44):
just got to go with your gut.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
Yeah, reading the comments will hurt your feelings.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
Sometimes you just got to go with your gut. Okay.
And as I have said many times and I think
have proven, I don't enjoy making tough decisions. I'm just
willing to do it, Okay, for for for the good
of what what what I think is the best thing.
In my opinion, it is the best thing to end it. Oh,

(51:09):
I think it. I think it's I think it's run
its course. I think it has it was. I think
it had great moments. I think it's gotten to the
point where it's a little forced. And I don't think
it is having the same impact it once did. And
I think you can only I don't feel like there's

(51:30):
any what you can change the book and and do
all that. But I think and I and it was
a case that somebody made on the text. When you
look at the attitude of this new endeavor where we
have a clean slate, the attitude of this new endeavor,
this feels a little too much like the past, and

(51:53):
it doesn't really fit in the present, So I would
be for I would be for ending it.

Speaker 4 (51:59):
So against one so far next subject deanon company, Christmas
or not.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
So, Judge, next do away with phones? The majority of
the jury matter of fact, two burgess votes. Great, great,
two burgess votes. But I think we've proven that Greg
and I really don't agree on very many things that
I may change my opinion. So so the jury would
hand to you, the judge that we we will not

(52:28):
continue this on in the new show.

Speaker 3 (52:31):
Order order in the court. I'm about to make I'm
about to make my order in the court. That that's
the order in the court. I said, I'm about to
make my order in the court.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
Okay, you're using these phrases wrong, but go ahead. Wig.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
Now I have kids, Judge, I read to them.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
Which no one would have thought. They don't need Richard, No,
no one, Frankly A or no one would have ever
guessed that.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
And because of this, I will continue to love my
children no matter what. And we had some bad attitudes
in the court. We had some badgering of witnesses. We
had just Frankly a badger. I think we just had
a badger on the jury. Greg. But I respect the

(53:23):
rule of law. Okay, I respect this this court, and
so my order in the court is sustained, accepted, withdrawn,
and I go with the jury. Read across America is dead.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
So it will not if you're happy, it will not continue.

Speaker 3 (53:45):
Rick Bird just show.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
New liar.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
Show dot com click hate Kids.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
Said, and Rick, don't ring good. You disagree with that.
I think you read that. Yeah you did. This guy's
talking about you know, I don't need to be the
face of reading across America. And he's right about that, now,
I did.

Speaker 4 (54:16):
I was one of the guy was making the point
how bad education system, and you were the one that
was going to bring it back.

Speaker 3 (54:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:22):
I was looking, well, you know, even you know, we're
looking for ways. There's things I think that are evergreen,
and then I think there's things that aren't. And I
think sometimes and it felt this way in the thirty
one years and very very rarely, because I thought I
thought we were always pretty good about saying I think
that's run its course. As much as we loved Turkey
Toss and Fatfest, those things got to where we just

(54:44):
weren't really into them anymore. And it was it was
such an undertaking that we didn't want to do it,
and but I do think sometimes things would keep going,
not because we wanted to do it, but because we
felt pressured to do it, and it just became something
than we did and we never really even considered should
we still be doing this? And so I think it's

(55:06):
been it's been great, and I think there's other things
that that we can do. This one, I think is
just run its course. And and that's the way I felt,
And it felt a little too tied to the past,
almost to the point that I think some people might
even be bothered by being part of the new you know.
So so yeah, so well that's right, Andrew. And Andrews

(55:31):
just said it may be evergreen, but even a pine
tree dies at some point, so that's true.

Speaker 10 (55:36):
All right.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
So there it is the ruling.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
I need to get a new liner to Ken Osborne
Real queer.

Speaker 3 (55:45):
The children? Do you like to read?

Speaker 11 (55:47):
Who Cares?

Speaker 5 (55:53):
Is the Rick Burgess Show?

Speaker 1 (56:00):
By the way, speaking of hospital though, are you and
you know, let's just let's just call it. Okay, we're
all Protestant, Okay, but let's call it anytime something's going
on with the pope. It's kind of we ours like
watch out easy. You see both Pope Francis and Commonia
both longs. Yeah, not good. I even saw one eighty something.

(56:24):
I even saw one post that says, now, this was
just a post from eighty from a news source, and
you never know if it's a legitimate news source or whatever.
They actually put the headline up because I was trying
to find all the stories on yesterday when I realized
that he was in trouble. Uh and one of the
stories said that he's preparing to die. Oh man, that
that he literally is going through that routine. Now that

(56:47):
that does not that's not gracious. Now double pneumonia, double
pneumonia at eighty eight both loans. That's not good. Yeah,
which means in our lifetime another Pope could be coming in.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
He looks so swollen, he does.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
God love you. That's all that.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
That's all that fluid, that fluids, all that fluid.

Speaker 3 (57:06):
When that starts happening, it's it's shocking. Oh wow, that
a lot of water around like his neck.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
Is bless him some lay six lord need la six.
What are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (57:21):
Get that fluid off?

Speaker 3 (57:22):
Lasik is an eye surgery surgery.

Speaker 2 (57:24):
Lay six, okay, lay sick.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
I did I didn't. I had no idea that you were.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
You don't have an aging parent, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
Yeah, yea.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
Helps keep fluid off.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
I understood. Thanks for sharing.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
It's a good info.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
But but I mean, you know, anytime there's a turnover
to pop, you better be watching.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
Now.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
I will say that Francis freaked out a little bit.
I didn't like some of the things. I mean, I
don't speak ill of him, but don't forget he got
in there because it doesn't quit. You know, they don't
just normally quit. I know, M not that I'm an
expert on pope right, just came out for our study
of the revelation and Daniel.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
But yeah, I didn see that. Rick. It's it's serious, No,
it is very same time I get some both lungs, do.

Speaker 1 (58:16):
You remember, it's like sitting there waiting on the smoking
on that and look that the Pope is still alive.
But I mean, it just they're saying, it's the report
is it's it's dangerous to his to get pneumonia, double pneumonia. Yeah,
both lungs. That's tough, and and some of the things.
The way they're acting makes me think they don't think
he's in good shape. You're right.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
If the Vatican is releasing information, that means that right,
they're saying it doesn't look good.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
Now, Now, there were you know, there were some things
that he did and said, and that a lot of
you know, friends and people we know real well that
who are Catholic, they they didn't they didn't like the
direction he was taking things.

Speaker 3 (58:55):
So I agree with that.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
But so so we'll we'll see how this goes. But
but I mean, when I saw the headline yesterday, I
was like, oh wow, this is I just thought he
wouldn't feeling well. And then I started doing research on
it and I was like, oh wow, this is a
this is legit. Ye this there There could be another
change coming and if not immediately, but soon.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
We may be looking for smoke signals here in the future. Guys.
I know, white white smoke means new new Pope. Black
smoke means no decision is made on the new book.

Speaker 1 (59:29):
You're really realing on a lot of things there, aren't
you judge by the way somebody says, if we cut
a fresh video this year and read across America, I
should be in the turtleneck and the tweed jacket by
sitting by a fireplace. Now that's that's a good idea.

Speaker 3 (59:45):
Now we've got idea.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
Now we have ideas. See this we did all needs
to be Let's let's do things brushing it up. Let's
let's find things to work a little bit. See if
we can't make it funnier, created more interesting.

Speaker 3 (59:56):
You've all seen the videos of the people trying to
kiss the Pope's hand and he like pulls it away
and all.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
These that I have seen that. Yeah, I have seen
that that. Well, there was just a lot of Yeah,
it's kind of Jeremy so Greg. Yeah, but it's what
Now a lot of people are saying, all right, I'm
not going to say that never mind. Well I just
shouldn't read things that come up my eyes. Just stick
to green eggs in him.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
All right, Well, well we'll break top of the hour

It should be talk.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
Cany I'm just one. It's okay, you know. Anyway, now
we have all these we now have one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven different microphones now count the production yeah and eight.
So so anyway, Andy Andrews, let's do this, okay, even
though you you were you know.

Speaker 8 (01:01:43):
Need to test my mic. Yeah no, yeah, that was one, five, nine, eleven,
seventy three, three fifty nine. I know a lot of
other numbers too, just not in a row like that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Right. So it's the big Boy Mike big Look look
at it. Look at that screen. Big boys looking over
you say, you have big boy right behind you. We
call that the big Boy guest mic.

Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
There you got. So Andy has made his way here
from the beautiful Gulf of America. Yes, where you now,
where you reside? Uh, you know, it's hard to get
those people that live on the Gulf of America to
come come inland. So this is how much he loves
all of you out there.

Speaker 8 (01:02:20):
Yeah yeah, well, and and I love you guys, I
mean you and I talk a lot on the phone. Yes,
but but I haven't been on the show lately, and
so I just haven't been near Birmingham.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
Yeah, we're glad you're here. How do you like the
new the new design here?

Speaker 7 (01:02:36):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
I love it.

Speaker 8 (01:02:38):
I love it. I love your your basketball goals.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
Saw you shooting in the break there?

Speaker 9 (01:02:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:02:42):
Oh yeah, yeah, this is this is awesome. It's a
beautiful location. You've got the lakes as you're coming in,
and of course it makes me wonder, are there fishing
those lakes? That's what I want to tell about said
lakes like that, because I think somebody should put catfish
in those lakes and let little kids fish out of them.

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
There you go. Stot love love to fish. Didn't understand
that even fishing on days you're not catching is a
good thing until I got old enough to have children,
a job, and a mortgage. Then I realized, Okay, I
see now, yes it's just my you know.

Speaker 5 (01:03:16):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
But anyway, so Andy, let's let's talk to the audience.
Everything you know is now about new beginnings. And I
know you're very well known. You've you're a New York
Times bestselling author. How many total books have you written?

Speaker 8 (01:03:30):
Twenty six?

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
Twenty six? I can't imagine it total books. They're available
at Andy Andrews dot com or wherever you get books.
So tell everybody who you are and what you do
in case they've never known before. Okay, okay, now say
today's my first Andy Andrews experience. Who is this man?

(01:03:51):
What does he do?

Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (01:03:52):
I'm a husband, I'm a dad of two boys, young
men actually twenty two and twenty five.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
Now, oh yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:03:59):
And I'm a writer, and I'm a I'm a teacher.
I'm a communicator, and so I like putting together things.
I mean, you know, my prayer every day as God
help me to understand things. You want your people to
understand that if they did understand, they'd live the lives

(01:04:19):
you want them to live, which means they'd have a
relationship with you, and they wouldn't need to come to
the government or to Oprah or to me even they
would come to you. And Lord, give me simple ways
to explain complicated things. They're confusing people. And so I
have two entities that I mean, besides the Andy Andrews
dot com, I have Creating Measurable Results dot com, which

(01:04:43):
is a thing where I work with companies and coach
all their people.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
And that's when you do more. I know, you speak
at conferences sometimes, but when you go to speak, you
mainly do that.

Speaker 8 (01:04:52):
Yeah, yeah, got And then and then I have Wisdomharbor
dot com, which is my pure love. It's Wisdomharbard dot
com is going into schools and businesses and families, and
our our goal there is to create America's next greatest
generation by creating conversations between adults and young people.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
What do we need more of those?

Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
You should have read Greg Egenham.

Speaker 1 (01:05:19):
You're right, you really you know Andy's By the way,
Andy's vote on that was surprising. But anyway, the no,
I understand where you're coming from because I believe now
more than ever. And we all talk about this, we
all talk about it. But I know you're a man
of action. We try to be men of action. You know,
there's only so long you can identify the problem. And

(01:05:40):
it has been identified, So now where's the solution? And
so we have we have all complained, We've all seen it.
It is shocking when you look around in society today.
I think these I'm holding up my phone. I think
these do a lot of wonderful things, and I'm glad
for the technology and the good things that it does.
I'm not somebody that says, you know, it's all bad,

(01:06:03):
because some things are bad about it. There's some really
good things you can do with this. I will tell
you this talking about this, just your ability to be
able to get like you mentioned about God, hey, I
can't remember where that scripture was, Well this right here,
get it for you, and then you can remember where
it is. You just simply put in a few things
about that scripture and it pops right up. There's some

(01:06:23):
really good things you can do with this. However, to
Wisdom Harbor, which we'll talk more about, you know, as
we go through this time together today, because I'm really
intrigued with this new project. When you called, and I
remember one day we talked a long time about when
you were saying, here's what we're going to try to do,
is that we all complain that we have a generation
that has their nose in the phone. They don't know

(01:06:45):
how to converse. They don't know how to have conversations.
They don't know how to look you in the eye.
They have no clue how to do a job interview.
They can't walk out a narrative. And we've all complained
about that. But the question is is there something we
can do about that? Yes, there is, and that's what
is kind of what you've taken on.

Speaker 8 (01:07:03):
Yeah, and we and we have got unbelievable We're going
to reveal some results we've had in schools with test
scores and everything, just that at first we didn't know
what was happening because we were like, how can this
stuff translate into better test scores? Because Wisdom Harbor is
is a you know, a harbor has many docs, and

(01:07:26):
so this has twenty twenty five different docks. Is an
audiobookstock a betcha didn't know doc in other words, doc.
It has all different ways that contributors present material. And
this is in science history, English, all different areas. But

(01:07:46):
the contributors are Grammy winners, comedians, coaches, chefs, and they're
presenting this stuff in ways that is absolutely interesting. Now
think about this, Rick, you when we were growing up,
you know, we would sit at the big table. We
wanted to be adults. We wanted to be adults, and

(01:08:08):
we would sit at the big table and our parents
would say, Okay, you can sit here, but if you
make yourself known, you're going to bed, right. And so
my sister and I would sit there and it would be,
you know, twenty minutes in, we'd look at each other
and we'd realize they've.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
Forgotten we're here.

Speaker 8 (01:08:25):
Oh yeah, because they're saying things we don't normally hear
them say. And so we'd be in the back seat
and on a trip to Grandma's and we would listen
to our parents talk, and we would listen to our
dad talk to disciperent as mom talked to friends. But
somewhere along the line that turned into Mom coming in
with the adults and say, I've got the kids in
the playroom.

Speaker 1 (01:08:45):
I put on a movie.

Speaker 8 (01:08:47):
I told them if they come out, they're going to bed,
and we're going to Grandma's. We'll be there in three hours.
Here's your headphones, here's the screen. And so we have
two generations of kids who have grown up without not
just having conversations, without even listening to them. Wow, okay
and so and so, what these these topics on Wisdom

(01:09:07):
Harbor do they create these six minute, seven minute little
pieces that teachers can play in their classroom and that
parents can play before dinner at home, and they create
conversations between adults and children, because right now I hear
I hear so many parents say my kids won't talk
to me, And I say, how does that manifest itself?

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
What do you mean?

Speaker 8 (01:09:29):
And they say, well, I'll say, like, how was school?

Speaker 1 (01:09:32):
It was fine?

Speaker 8 (01:09:33):
Okay, Well what happened today?

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
Nothing?

Speaker 8 (01:09:36):
Oh, come on, now you're there for six hours. Something happened, Mom,
Nothing happened. Okay, you asked me that every day. Nothing happened. Okay,
same thing, nothing happened. And so mom can either pursue
it and make the kid madder or she can just
not talk. And so that's what generations have done. And
so we're not watching the same things on TV anymore.
When we grew up, we'd watch Andy Griffith Show, kids

(01:09:58):
like that, adults like that. We would watch Rockfrod Files,
kids like that, adults like that. Today there's no shows
that kids and parents can watch together. With Wisdomharbor dot com,
which is a streaming service twenty seven dollars a year,
and we're putting these in schools and teachers are using them,

(01:10:19):
and you know, you've got adults and kids seeing one
about World War One animals, and you got an adults saying, hey,
g see that five hundred thousand cats they imported to
the trenches in France to take care of rats in
World One.

Speaker 7 (01:10:37):
Who knew that?

Speaker 8 (01:10:38):
And so it's all.

Speaker 1 (01:10:39):
These different interesting things to bring them in. Yeah, yeah,
all right, we'll talk more about that. We come back
and give you a chance to win something today too.

During the thirteenth century, Kubla Khan's Monk clan valued physical
ability above all things. They bet on wrestling matches constantly,
and if you won, people said you were gifted.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
By the gods.

Speaker 8 (01:13:09):
Now, these weren't your modern day matches separated by weight,
class and gender. Anybody could and did wrestle anyone else,
and they'd keep going until one of them hit the floor.
This was the environment in which Kudulun competed. Kutualun was
Kubla Khan's niece, and she competed against men of all
shapes and sizes. According to Marco Polo, Kubla Khan and

(01:13:32):
his brother Kaidu, Kotalun's father desperately wanted to see Koudalun married,
but she refused to do so unless her potential suitor
was able to beat her in wrestling. So she set
up a standing offer available to all comers. Beat her
and she'd marry. You lose and you give her one

(01:13:53):
hundred horses. She died an old lady unmarried with ten
thousand horses.

Speaker 2 (01:14:01):
What true, or b s, Oh, my goodness, wow.

Speaker 12 (01:14:08):
That you know it all sounds like it's just too part.
That did not be true. But when you threw Marco
Polo in there on me, that kind of threw me.
But you know what I musta say true.

Speaker 1 (01:14:21):
I must say true, be true.

Speaker 8 (01:14:24):
It is absolutely true, absolutely true.

Speaker 1 (01:14:28):
Really, so nobody could beat her, you know. Interesting, that's
how sheery and I meant, really, how many horses does
this year have?

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:14:37):
I think I think I was Finally I was just
a handsome. She let me pin her. All right, So

Speaker 1 (01:15:42):
I ended on Adler?

Speaker 2 (01:15:44):
So that means it's uh, it's Henry the horse. All right.

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
So you got a bit so, but you still got
the subscription to wisdom Harbor. I'm putting you on hold, Brian.

Speaker 2 (01:15:54):
Here we go, Hello, Henry, what hey, Henry bud oh.

Speaker 1 (01:16:00):
I just wanted to let you know that I was
one of those ten thousand horses.

Speaker 7 (01:16:05):
Okay, it wasn't all.

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
It was all crocked up to me.

Speaker 3 (01:16:11):
Andy, you're the noticer, and I've got a question for you.
It's a deep psychological question, philosophical How much wood could a.

Speaker 1 (01:16:20):
Wood chuck chuck? If a woodcuck chuck chuck of wood?
Do you know that answer?

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
And I do know the answer.

Speaker 8 (01:16:28):
The answer is the same amount as a ground hug
could grind. If a ground hug could grind ground.

Speaker 1 (01:16:40):
Jake in Tennessee is ready to play, oh boy.

Speaker 3 (01:16:44):
Be true?

Speaker 1 (01:16:45):
Yes? So all right, so there's only three categories left. Uh,
you know, Brian went ahead and grabbed history. But you
can still pick from science, literature or our culture. Sean science.
Did you say science?

Speaker 3 (01:17:01):
Ye?

Speaker 1 (01:17:02):
All right, all right, here we go, Jacob from Science
true or BS.

Speaker 8 (01:17:08):
Sea level is sea level around the world except along
certain longitudinal lines. On certain lines, there is a bump
of water that is twenty seven feet higher than sea level.
This is called the equatorial bulge, and it exists around
the world, exactly on the equator. Here's how it happens.

(01:17:30):
On the near side of the Earth, the side facing
the Moon, the gravitational force of the Moon pulls the
ocean's waters toward it, creating one bulge. On the far
side of the Earth, inertia dominates, creating a second bulge.
In this way, the combination of gravity and inertia create
the bulge of water that circles the globe. Be true

(01:17:54):
or BS.

Speaker 1 (01:17:55):
Oh man, hello, BS, you says that.

Speaker 8 (01:18:03):
Is absolutely true.

Speaker 1 (01:18:06):
Oh, so I know what he did. I did the
same thing. There were so many big words, I said.
He said, yeah, great, tell Jake what he want. Let
me say, Jack, I'm checking. It looks like you want nothing.
Zimp nothing. I'm sorry. Can I tell you this? Andy

(01:18:30):
wanted us to give the subscription whether they want or lost.
And you know I said, no way, they gotta earn it.
No way.

Speaker 8 (01:18:36):
Yeah, no participation trophy.

Speaker 1 (01:18:37):
That's right. You gotta get Ben in Mississippi.

Speaker 7 (01:18:40):
Ben.

Speaker 1 (01:18:40):
There's only two categories left, be true or bs literature
are our culture? Which one do you want?

Speaker 6 (01:18:51):
Well, I'm not a literature guy.

Speaker 14 (01:18:53):
Let's do our culture.

Speaker 1 (01:18:54):
Okay, here we go, No boy, here we go.

Speaker 8 (01:18:57):
In nineteen sixty seven, none own singer songwriter named Jim
Crochey was playing at a party in Princeton, New Jersey.
During the evening, he announced he would play an original
song he had written the year before. The small crowd
listening heard a song Croachy called Big Jim, and the
chorus he sang that evening was you don't tug on

(01:19:18):
Batman's cape, you don't spit into the wind, you don't
pull the mask off that old Loane Ranger, and you
don't mess around with Jim. At the party that evening
was an eleven year old with his parents. The boy
loved Jim Crochey and especially loved the song Big Jim.
In fact, at the end of the party, the boy
got his dad to ask the singer to sing the
song again, which he did. The boy and the singer

(01:19:39):
shook hands. The boy took one of the singer's brochures
about his mailing list, and that was that until a
couple of weeks later, when the boy wrote the singer
a letter after complimenting Crochey's performance. The boy wrote, if
I may be so bold, I have a suggestion for
your Big Jim song, I think you should change Batman
to Superman. Batman is an ordinary guy while Superman has superpowers.

(01:20:03):
Superman is more popular despite the stupid Batman TV show.
So I think that if you want the song to
be ordinary, keep Batman. But if you want the song
to be super change the words to you don't tug
on Superman's cap. As you already know, Coachy did indeed
exchange Batman for Superman in the song. A couple of
years later, Coache's very first national release, Big Jim, became

(01:20:27):
the number one song in America. Jim Croachy died in
nineteen seventy three, but it took his widow, Ingrid, several
years to go through the boxes of memorabilia Crozia had
saved from his career. In one box, Ingrid found the
letter from the eleven year old boy. She knew about it.
Of course, it was a family story. As she put
it aside to save her eye caught the letter's signature,

(01:20:48):
and something flashed in her brain. The name had never
seemed important to the story, but this one seemed so familiar.
In fact, the eleven year old's name was the same
as the star of a new movie she had seen
the night before. The eleven year old's name was Christopher Reeve.
The movie was Superman, and after making contact with the

(01:21:10):
actor Ingrid Croachy and he met on a studio lot
in Los Angeles. There, Christopher Reeve confirmed that he was
indeed the kid who had written mister Crochey long ago.
Before they left, Ingrid asked Christopher to sign the letter again.
He did. He signed to missus Crochy, this is the
best idea I ever had, with great respect, Christopher Reeve.

Speaker 1 (01:21:31):
Be true or bs, Oh, Andrew Andy Andrews DEI ben
bs or be true.

Speaker 14 (01:21:43):
Things I should have picked literature. Wow, I'm gonna say
it's true.

Speaker 1 (01:21:54):
Be true Andy certainly sounds true.

Speaker 8 (01:22:00):
He should be true, But it's bs.

Speaker 1 (01:22:03):
My god, I was like to be honest, Be honest.
You wanted to be true. You really sorry?

Speaker 8 (01:22:19):
Sorry, I wrote that last night.

Speaker 1 (01:22:21):
You wrote it last night. Gosh, all right, one more
than We're done? All right, Martha, Martha, it's only literature.
That's all this left. I'm sorry. Okay, So here it is.
This is there, our final contestant today, Here we go.

Speaker 8 (01:22:39):
In eighteen ninety seven, a book called The Wreck of
the titan was written by an author named Morgan Robertson.
Robertson's story was about a very large ship said to
be unsinkable, named the titan The Titan hit an iceberg
in the North Atlantic, started to sink, and was found
to not have an enough lifeboats for the numerous passengers

(01:23:02):
to survive. The book, again written in eighteen ninety seven,
was published fifteen years before the sinking of the Titanic
in nineteen twelve. Be true or bs, Wow, I'm going
to say it.

Speaker 6 (01:23:19):
Be true?

Speaker 1 (01:23:20):
Andy, You are absolutely right true. That's kind of spooking.
That is spooky. How did that happen? Isn't that weird?
I mean name, somebody wrote it and it almost had
the same name. You don't think they Surely nobody would
read that book and name the ship after that after

(01:23:41):
something close, No, that'd be too bad. Mojo. Yeah, that's wow.
Ain't that weird? All right, Martha, here's your choice. Now

By the way, those were some facts that were mind blowing.
They are, yeah, they really are.

Speaker 8 (01:25:17):
That's that's the beauty of the game. The true ones
seem like they could be false, and the faults one
seems like they could be true.

Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
And so you know, and I've always thought that you were.

Speaker 8 (01:25:32):

This is the Rick Burgess Show, Greg Burgess, Edy Van
Adler all here, let's go.

Speaker 1 (01:26:16):
The nobody cares you wear out things and nobody wears
and that's about all I can sing on that one.
All right, So, uh we start the reason why I'm
the Great Riff. Oh, Yeah, this is one of those
kinds you never you never get tired of this one.
Those of you that are watching on YouTube were playing

(01:26:37):
Sweet Emotion.

Speaker 4 (01:26:37):
From Aerosmith that that era. Oh and I understand why
the eighties looks like a lady. I get all that
and go and it's a rebirth through their careers. But
you go back ba then when it had a little
bit of stink on it.

Speaker 1 (01:26:52):
Greg, did you I'm saying perfect? It ain't team perfect.
It's got a little think.

Speaker 2 (01:26:57):
On little grit, okay, little stink on it.

Speaker 3 (01:27:00):
Yeah, it makes you make a face. Yeah, like sud.

Speaker 1 (01:27:07):
That's the whole boy adler I had. I had just
allowed you to hang with Greg at a normal pace,
and now I don't have to cut you back again. Yeah,
it's a great song. I think Sweet Emotion one of
the greatest rock songs of all time. Agreed, absolutely, And
I prefer it over dream On About About Chipple, weet Stone.

(01:27:29):
Don't like it? You do like that? If you don't
like that, you mu as well just leave about. I
don't can I be honest, I'm about to disappoint you
big time. I don't know that song you do? If
you pull it up, you know what is it called again?
It's the chorus of Chippy wet Stone. I assume that's
the name of the sure Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:27:44):
And Sweet Emotion and dream On. It's two different moods,
and so it's hard to say I like this one.
But if you tell me feelings. But if you said
to me.

Speaker 1 (01:27:54):
Which one of those has a more burn factor, I
would say I dream only I could burn out? Did
I'll never burn out the Sweet Emotion.

Speaker 3 (01:28:01):
Here's a quick sample of us.

Speaker 1 (01:28:03):
Where is it? Is it?

Speaker 14 (01:28:04):
Here?

Speaker 1 (01:28:04):
Quick? Where ahead? All right, he's gonna acting lack of bread.
You remember that? No wonder you were mad at?

Speaker 6 (01:28:20):
That was real?

Speaker 1 (01:28:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (01:28:22):
Where are you?

Speaker 1 (01:28:22):
Added on?

Speaker 3 (01:28:23):
Aerosmith Love Amith dream On was the first song. The
second song I stole online illegally downloaded was a.

Speaker 1 (01:28:30):
Napster you stole it? Yeah, Stephen Tywer Tyler won't tour
again despite doing a charity concert with X Guns and Roses.
Drum Uh. Now, I didn't realize he's no, it's not him,
it's Matt som Oh. Yeah, that's the second Did they
kick him out to Yes, Okay, I didn't know he was.

Speaker 4 (01:28:52):
He was the one that took over for He also
played in the colg just yeah, yeah, useless information.

Speaker 1 (01:28:58):
All right, right again Greg, So anyway, but Steven Tyler
is going to be there for his charity event whatever
it is. But this is no indication that he can
go on the road anymore. So you had to cancel.

Speaker 12 (01:29:13):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:29:14):
So he was seventy something. He said it was a
really big moment for him because he hurt himself really bad.
He recently performed at the jam. Oh wait a minute, Oh,
this is a viewing party. Okay, that's what it was.
I'm sorry, it's not so it says here Adler. You
you were talking about when they had the all these

(01:29:37):
different bands trying to come in, but there was one
called Jam for Jenny. Jenny got a Grammy Awards viewing
party which benefits the charity Janey's Fund. Okay, after he
injured his larynix. Okay, I see. So apparently Matt was
invited to play drums on all this, but he says
he's not going to tour again. He said, I have

(01:29:58):
to explain this to people. Steven Tyler or cannot put
himself under the rigors of doing a full worldwide tour
because it's a lot of pressure and if you're not
a singer, you wouldn't understand what singers have to go through.
He's seventy seven years old and he's a perfectionist. I'm
sure I've ever noticed that, And that's kind of what
I like about, right, And if he doesn't sing correctly,

(01:30:20):
it bothers him. So his lyrinics is not in his
style of singing, because what he's saying, no, I'll say this,
we none of us, none of us sing. I mean,
we sing, but no one cares if we sing. But
what I'm saying is we all though, understand about constantly

(01:30:41):
worrying about your voice working constantly. Imagine you know, it's
a lot easier to be well. I can talk, but
I can't sing. Imagine if you had to sing and
you're constantly worrying about I can't get sick. I gotta
get enough rest, I gotta do this, you know. And
a lot of them, you know, when during the times
when they would you know, be not do that, they
would party the whole time and they could just pull

(01:31:02):
it off when they were younger. But as they started
getting older, they realized, hey, we've damaged our voices and
we really there's certain things we have to do or
We're not going to be able to perform, he said.
Now he's at the point where there's no way he
could do multiple shows back to back and all that. No,
I don't. I don't know how some of them do it.
I really don't.

Speaker 2 (01:31:19):
I'm gonna disappoint y'all. When we went backstage at the Grammys,
here we go, Aerosmith was doing a sound check and
we went in the auditorium. It was empty, and we
sat down and yeah, and I can't even remember what did.

Speaker 1 (01:31:31):
You appreciate it?

Speaker 2 (01:31:32):
But I appreciate it. After a while downline, I was like, yes, yeah,
it's Aerosmith. I know, it's just them and they were
just jamming.

Speaker 1 (01:31:44):
Did y'all not have an appreciation for Aerosmith and their
body was going to disappoint you?

Speaker 2 (01:31:49):
Well?

Speaker 3 (01:31:49):
You did?

Speaker 1 (01:31:51):
You really did.

Speaker 3 (01:31:51):
Speaking to disappointments and lead singers and have trouble with
their voice. By the way, Telsey Gabbard and as Steve
and Tyler get their hair done at the same place
as the person. I think they get their hair streaked
at the same place. So speaking to this, woyman, I,
I drove to Atlanta last Wednesday for a concert, pulled

(01:32:13):
up to the venue at seven fifteen and got an
email saying the concert was canceled.

Speaker 1 (01:32:19):
Why these things happened? Wait a minute, why did these
things happen?

Speaker 3 (01:32:24):
It took so much pre I bought those tickets seven
months ago.

Speaker 1 (01:32:28):
Why did they wait till just then?

Speaker 3 (01:32:30):
The show was supposed to The show was supposed to
start at seven point thirty. The email got sent at
seven fifteen. No way, you're not kidding at all of
the amount of homework and intricacies and watching kids and
dropping kids like I worked all day, picked up my kids,
dropped one kid in one place, dropped one kid in

(01:32:50):
another organized. Okay, Aaron, your mom can watch this gir Okat, Aaron,
you can forget this kid? Then, okay? And then I
get to I get to see the kids. I don't
even go a whole day without miss and the kids.
And I was gonna drive to the concert, and I
was gonna watch the concert, and I was gonna drive
back here. I was going to sleep either in my
van or on the couch and start you down to
a sweet man and not tell anybody. And it was
gonna be awesome. And I was gonna be young again,

(01:33:11):
and I was gonna be I was gonna be again.
I was gonna be young again for a day. I
was gonna live in adventure. I did that one time
last year. It was awesome. I still it was one
of the best days of my life.

Speaker 2 (01:33:22):
Okay, well here's one I see Go Jira open for corn.

Speaker 2 (01:33:27):
Okay, Okay, who let you down?

Speaker 1 (01:33:29):
Because here's one thing you did get to do. You
did get to drive over there and back.

Speaker 3 (01:33:33):
I did, drove there, drove back, texted Aaron. Because of
the time change with Atlanta, it actually works out. You
actually get a little more time on. So I got
back to my house at nine o'clock and just slept
in my bed that night. Well, by the way, it
was raining. It was raining hard to Atlanta in the rain,
hard in the van.

Speaker 1 (01:33:50):
Yes, sweet van.

Speaker 3 (01:33:52):
The band was Dream Theater.

Speaker 16 (01:33:57):

Speaker 3 (01:33:57):
They're awesome there.

I don't have a response.

Speaker 3 (01:34:53):
Here's a quick here, you dam here.

Speaker 1 (01:35:04):
They're just why disgust? Why did they cancel?

Speaker 3 (01:35:08):
I pull up to the venue. Yo, I'm four minutes
from the venue, so I'm like, I might as well
look at the billboard. So I pull up to the venue.
There's a whole bunch of probably fifty year olds. I
don't know why, but I'm that's the crowd.

Speaker 1 (01:35:19):
I bet Mark Gartnett was there.

Speaker 3 (01:35:20):
Mark Garnett was probably disappointed on it, right there, No
doubt he was there. And I spoke to one guy
and he was like, yeah, we actually saw them in
Nashville the night before. And the dude's the lead singer's
voice went out during the encore. Well how about huh
so the encore you mean like twenty four hours ago,
the encore when I.

Speaker 2 (01:35:39):
Was how disgusted?

Speaker 3 (01:35:40):
More like nightmare theater. But that was a huge disappointment,
and I just thank you for let me tell you
all about that.

Speaker 1 (01:35:49):
And you should have brought that up earlier so you
could have more therapy, because this helped you.

Speaker 3 (01:35:53):
Just then I could tell I do feel better. I'm
still sad about it, and I'm not young. I'm old.
My knee hurts. Why did I even see you were
going south to standing? Yeah, it's awesome. Nobody talks to me, Solis,
It's great.

Speaker 5 (01:36:05):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (01:36:13):
All right. Here's a couple of I don't know, a
couple of emails here. Okay, hey bird a Birge, would
you is there any way? Is there anyway Bird you
could say happy birthday to Sarah Grace eighteen years old
today from Big Tate, Dune Tate there you earlier, Sarah Grace,
have a great day from John. Hey bird a Birge.

(01:36:37):
At least if you won't read this, I hope speed
you will. I really enjoyed the music of Miles Morgan
yesterday and and and I and the return of a
version of Keeping a Coaster. I don't want to recall that.

Speaker 2 (01:36:50):
We did that it was a bumper music or not.

Speaker 1 (01:36:55):
Well, yeah, but I finally had to do some soul searching.
My my dream hasn't been to spin the wheel. My
dream has not been to go hunting with y'all. My
dream has not been been to get Speedy to buy
me lunch. My dream, my dream is to get my
song torn to shreds by one baby brother, Greg Burgess.

(01:37:16):
We'll see he's gonna mess up and it's gonna be good.
That's no fun, said bumper or bust or something. If
James can up and Robbie mccordy, I'm McCurdy can make
the show. Surely I can, or at least that's what
I thought. I mean, I mean, hey, maybe I really
can't have nothing that's in the email. I'm bringing my
case to the court one last time and hoping the

(01:37:39):
judge he's using all the shows, he's gonna be like
that rules in my favor. Favor. Also, I'd love for
y'all to do something like a Miles Morgan or something.
Every other week or so artist new artists is too much?
Too much?

Speaker 5 (01:37:54):
Boot?

Speaker 3 (01:37:54):
It or bumper was what we were calling.

Speaker 4 (01:37:56):
What it was?

Speaker 1 (01:37:57):
That guy he poured mouth how bad his song wasn't it?
It was pretty good?

Speaker 11 (01:38:00):
You like it?

Speaker 2 (01:38:01):
You listen to it down the truck?

Speaker 1 (01:38:02):
Now this guy, I haven't listened to this one. Yeah,
I'm looking at email, he says. If you don't, it's
still real to me. Love y'all. The new show is
fantastic old. That's smart, that's smart. He's pushing all.

Speaker 3 (01:38:14):
Do I want to hear it?

Speaker 1 (01:38:15):
My band is Riverside Rednecks and sucker for a sad song?

Speaker 10 (01:38:21):
Is it?

Speaker 6 (01:38:21):
You do have it?

Speaker 1 (01:38:22):
And it says his name is well, he says, I
can Can I say his name? I think so? He
says his name is Johnny reid Rich.

Speaker 6 (01:38:29):
That's right?

Speaker 1 (01:38:30):
Okay, all right?

Speaker 2 (01:38:31):
So are we doing this from the top?

Speaker 1 (01:38:33):
Okay? So we're not gonna hear the whole thing though,
I mean three and this is this is bumper or
boot Is that the new name for easy bump?

Speaker 3 (01:38:42):
And bumper means you keep it for bumper music, it
means it's gone. Riverside Rednecks does work on the name.
Maybe just go with just Riverside.

Speaker 2 (01:38:50):
I'm gonna look at Greg's face this whole time the Riverside.

Speaker 3 (01:39:03):
Like two laughs.

Speaker 1 (01:39:05):
You're really since give to that, aren't you. I've never
been tied.

Speaker 6 (01:39:10):
To shit to.

Speaker 2 (01:39:15):
I've learned love comes ghost over the years.

Speaker 3 (01:39:22):
It's like eathing seems to buying me since she's been gone.

Speaker 7 (01:39:29):
But when I turned my radio.

Speaker 5 (01:39:35):
I'm a sucker for a sad song about somebody done.

Speaker 6 (01:39:43):
Raby.

Speaker 7 (01:39:44):
It's just because I can't relate. It ain't something down
about of it.

Speaker 3 (01:39:54):
If I wish not to check.

Speaker 7 (01:39:57):
The baby one lost song, she's gone sim a subject
for song.

Speaker 1 (01:40:10):
I gotta tell you that was pretty good.

Speaker 3 (01:40:13):
It is. It's not bad.

Speaker 1 (01:40:15):
That's pretty I mean good. But I've heard a million.

Speaker 6 (01:40:19):
I got that.

Speaker 1 (01:40:19):
But what I'm saying is, if you were to put
that in the category where it belongs, doesn't hold it
song with other songs that are like it's bumper to me.
It sound a little bit like paying me in Birmingham
a little bit. That's fine, pay me It did for
a sad song. Oh wow, yeah, thanks. Now you're always

(01:40:40):
heard a good song. I'm not saying it's not good.

Speaker 3 (01:40:43):
Change your name to Riverside. You might have a shot.
It's frankly Riverside. Right next, nobody's gonna take you. Seriously,
We'll just go Riverside.

Speaker 1 (01:40:49):
Can I tell you I did not have a problem
with that song at all.

Speaker 2 (01:40:52):
Yeah, and it's got a good it's got a good
walk on it too.

Speaker 1 (01:40:54):
Yeah, of course hates that.

Speaker 3 (01:40:56):
Because two laps is fine.

Speaker 1 (01:40:57):
Two laps is fine.

Speaker 2 (01:40:58):
I thought you, I thought you just a want song.

Speaker 3 (01:41:00):
Just mentioned that they did too, like.

Speaker 1 (01:41:02):
Eight or fifteen seconds. I would say bumper on that one. Yeah,
I ain't bad. Yeah, I would say bumper. I'm sorry,
he's not going to shred it. It's not worth reading.

Speaker 5 (01:41:11):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (01:41:19):
All right, Greg, Thanks, all right, we're back. I thought
we were about to have a positive moment where we
tell some guys they did a good job, they did
a good song, And now you're saying, well, basically, it's
just paint me at Birmingham.

Speaker 2 (01:41:33):
Wait, thanks for that.

Speaker 4 (01:41:35):
Not exact, ye, but I will let me clear it up.
I think that guy was good or the Rednecks whatever, Riverside, Rednecks, Adler.
He's saying, sorry, nobody can pronounce my last name. Yeah,
we tried to go with.

Speaker 1 (01:41:48):
Something that was easy to remember. They got it fanatically
spilled that. Yeah. I mean it was a good song,
it really was. And there's he saying thanks, and he
said I may change my name to Johnny Birmingham, and
so that I apparently ripped off. This guy has gotta Yeah, no,
they and you know, I tell you what they follow
in that category. I bet if you saw him live,

(01:42:08):
you'd like him mean better. Okay, you feel bad about.

Speaker 6 (01:42:14):
You all?

Speaker 1 (01:42:16):
Now I'm wearing it. Have you figured out I'm been
wearing it till Sunday? Okay? All right, So I will
tell you something that it just brought us up. And
I've been mad about this for months, I mean really mad.
Won't find yet. Sometimes things are like I don't really
I wish that wouldn't so, And then there's things like
I gotta do something, I gotta change, I gotta stand
against this or stand whatever. And I like these two

(01:42:37):
artists very much. Okay. Dustin Lynch who was on the
Rick and Bubba Show years ago, right when he was
when he was first taken, he had white some about
cowgirls and angel Yeah. Uh, but then I couldn't quit
staring his teeth. But his teeth there there magnificent, their magnificent.

(01:42:59):
Even even Doctor Dodney was embraced. So the he didn't
hear that. Okay, so here is but and I remember
the first day I heard it and it angered me.
Okay he's angered, No, he is mad, he got yeah,

(01:43:19):
I'm really really mad.

Speaker 2 (01:43:21):
Yeah, okay, it's called Chevrolet.

Speaker 1 (01:43:23):
Okay, all right. So I was, I was riding in
my car and I was listening, and I start thinking,
wait a minute, this song sounds crazy familiar, and then
all of a sudden, like, wait a minute, this is
drift Away, but by Dobie Gray with different lyrics. Always
love that. You can't take someone's song and just change

(01:43:43):
the lyrics. I think, I like, I like Dustin Lynch,
and I like jelly Roll, but they can't do this.
You at least just do a cover. What if jelly Roll?
And you know somebody did do a cover? What was
his name, Uncle Cracker? Yeah, yeah, version. It was a
good version. But he did not pretend it was a
new song. He just simply covered Dobie Gray drift Away

(01:44:03):
and did his version of it. Got no problem with
that now, probably since he's done it, there's no need
for somebody else in country music to do it. But
but but Jelly Roll and Nestin Lynch have taken the song.

Speaker 2 (01:44:14):
Instead of drift Away, there do chevro Let and they
just put new lyrics to it.

Speaker 1 (01:44:19):
We can't let that stand.

Speaker 2 (01:44:20):
The boy he's mad.

Speaker 1 (01:44:22):
Wow, this is I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:44:23):
I asked him, I said, can you enjoy any second
of the song?

Speaker 1 (01:44:26):
He does nothing, but made me mad. But here's the
thing how I get past it. They're not trying to
fool you. They know they don't. They don't ever say
anything about it, like the purpose. It wouldn't killed him
to go, it would don't be gray. But give him something.
I'm sure they're sinning. I know they sent a check.
If mc hammer had to send James a check to
the penitentiary, then then then they had to send Dobie

(01:44:49):
Gray's estate something. Yeah, I would be whoever wrote the
song try to like that. They just made it up
from scratch shoes that not bother you. They changed the
lyric I drift Away its sheriffs.

Speaker 2 (01:45:02):
Have you heard it?

Speaker 1 (01:45:03):
Yeah? And you you're okay with it? God? Well, yeah,
you know why because it's drift Away. We all like
drift Away. Of course, it's snazzy, it's already been a
hit multiple times over.

Speaker 2 (01:45:15):
When Jelly Roll comes in, it's like, oh and then
I look up at Rick and he's disgusted.

Speaker 1 (01:45:19):
I'm listening. Does this before jennerro walked that five K.

Speaker 3 (01:45:24):
Drift Away was recorded in nineteen seventy just kill I,
Si boo?

Speaker 5 (01:45:29):
Are we okay with this?

Speaker 3 (01:45:31):
It's the same song. I'm going to fully up sad time,
not bothering.

Speaker 1 (01:45:37):
You haven't heard this? Does that not bother you?

Speaker 3 (01:45:39):
Listen to metal? I haven't heard this. I didn't know.
I didn't know.

Speaker 2 (01:45:41):
You gotta let it roll till Jelly Roll.

Speaker 3 (01:45:45):
I get it.

Speaker 16 (01:45:45):
It's drift Away with different lyrics, the liddles down.

Speaker 3 (01:45:56):
Okay, it's the same song.

Speaker 1 (01:45:57):
Are you how do I know it? Angers Adler tell
me you to is not tapping?

Speaker 2 (01:46:01):
Yeah, because I like drift Away. Little Jelly's coming in.

Speaker 1 (01:46:04):

Speaker 2 (01:46:06):
Jeli's coming.

Speaker 1 (01:46:07):
He's out a half marathon to get ready for pot
it up. Okay, we're so take a sipping to break
right on copyright.

Speaker 2 (01:46:17):
I just here we got to do I know, okay,
I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:46:25):
You just took the hit and and you know, right
here on Black History Month and you're just stealing Adobe's song.

Speaker 16 (01:46:34):
Here's here goes White People again, and they take a
black man's song and they changed the lyrics.

Speaker 3 (01:46:48):
Mentor Williams, who is a white guy. He recorded in
nineteen seventy Adobe Gray made it an international hit in
seventy three.

Speaker 1 (01:46:56):
Yeah, because it took a black man to make it
a hit, and so.

Speaker 3 (01:46:58):
The soul rick I don't know would be great. My goodness.

Speaker 1 (01:47:01):
I think you were probably with me at this concert.

Speaker 4 (01:47:03):
One of the best versions of that, I said was
bon Jovi really did a version I don't recall that.

Speaker 1 (01:47:08):
Yeah, it was really good.

Speaker 3 (01:47:09):
I love He's so cool. Bon Jovi so cool it was, I.

Speaker 4 (01:47:12):
Mean, they didn't like they kunt of acoustic kind of
did one of those I don't recall, though I don't
think I was there, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:47:20):
Or you don't remember it, or you're still controlling.

Speaker 1 (01:47:23):
So have been one of those occasions where I was
not allowed in. They cannot, So I wondered around the
parking lot with the homeless. Still the concert was over.

Speaker 4 (01:47:33):
We put you in the trunk and just see how
long you can ride around there. I remember that they
were completely I was fine care at all, but I
did not I enjoyed the quietness. We got used to it,
We forgot you were back there. Yeah, let's pull over that.

Speaker 1 (01:47:50):
Rick out, can I tell you? Yeah? I was like, man,
that's just I took a naut I don't know why.
You got exactly uncontrolled.

Speaker 2 (01:47:59):
So we've destroyed with today's show.

Speaker 1 (01:48:01):
Sorry, I'm sorry. Are we gonna get some bad mark
or something?

Speaker 3 (01:48:05):
See Miles Morgan got is yesterday said what are you
gonna do? You know?

Speaker 2 (01:48:08):
Yeah? My goodness, Okay, Yah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:48:11):
Dobie Gray actually did make a guest appearance in Uncle
Cracker's version. You're right about that? Oh wow, uncle Cracker
in the studio. He didn't, wouldn't song he do? Uh yes,
smile right, yes he did.

Speaker 2 (01:48:24):
He made fun that's a really nice guy.

Speaker 1 (01:48:26):
Yeah, after he left, you made fun of him. No, yeah,
you're thinking about the other guy.

Speaker 2 (01:48:32):
Oh could you say, Greg knew there were somebody.

Speaker 1 (01:48:35):
Golly? But no, I just I just think these two
people are way too talented to do something in my opinion,
that's low hanging free. Yeah, I mean it's Greg. It's
it's the same song with different lyrics.

Speaker 3 (01:48:48):
We can't break kid rock will do the same thing too.

doing wet.
