Prank Rank | Daily Best of April 1 | The Rick Burgess Show

We rank our best pranks. Speedy, Greg, and Adler share theirs, then Rick tells us about the time he scared an entire town. In politics, Trump is joined in the White House by Kid Rock, who is dressed like Evel Knievel on acid. Hooters has officially gone belly-up. A study claims that how you sleep is determined by how you feel. Another study supposedly says women hear better than men, but we aren't sure because we weren't listening.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
I can remember, and I think I've told this before,
but if I have to hear it again.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
When I was a kid, one time, I remember I woke.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Up to get ready to go to school and it
was April Four's day and mom scared the death of mice.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Okay, remember, oh, she's terrified him.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
And I walked in the kitchen and she was in
there in her house code or what you earn in
the morning. Everbody getting ready for school And I screamed
and pointed, oh a rat, and she went uh.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
She grabbed Dad's arm and it was like high stepping.
It went over way better than I thought of it.
How long did you let it go? Oh?

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Immediately I felt terrible, So I mean immediately said no, no, no,
I'm just kidding because I didn't think she would jump
I mama, she went nuts. My mama's not mildly. And
I guess I inherited that from her. Yeah, that, but
she she was, I mean terrified of any rough still
is any kind of roade it?

Speaker 2 (03:48):
And I sold it good? Yeah, I would.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Well, you know I was playing, you know, the defense
attorney for February the same year, so my acting skills
were definitely there.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Be real careful today today just showing out. I'm just
showing up.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
I would say today too, that Gary is.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Like a holiday.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
I mean, you know, every day tap for food, they may,
I mean it is, and that's fact. Yesterday, though he
looks a tired, I don't know that he has the
effort right now.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
We might get him today. Write them call. I know
you delivered that call he gave you to now. I
still in my trunk. I had to go. I had
a long afternoon yesterday. I have time, did you take
you should swing by the house. I'll be bad, Greg,
I mean Gary put effort into that. Well, I made

(04:38):
no promises. I had a busy, busy day. Okay, Well
that like going on the state of the dealership for
about three hours. You have ever done that? That's fine? Yeah, yeah,
ain't nothing say that.

Speaker 7 (04:49):
I will say this to all dealerships, and some are good,
some service.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Departments are better. But it'll take him inte. Yeah, now
this will more than a service. But you're right.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
All change tyro tall that yo. And then we had
the old thing. We had to fix that check engel.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Oh okay, okay, do that Okay.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Considering all that, they really didn't do that bad. But
it was probably two and a half hours. Maybe I'm
exaggerating a little bit. A long time felt like it
was like a year you're talking about. No, I just
want to I just want to get this right. So
those who don't know a friend of Greg's and a
friend of Gary's, he's his call messed up. Gary brought

(05:28):
what he needed to replace the call, wanting Greg to
get it to him. I want you to know that
Greg burd just just said that at one point yesterday
he set around for two and a half hours and
still didn't call lean let him know you have plenty
of time.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, down time.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
You could have done it sitting in there and it
will make it delivery. But you could have said I
got it.

Speaker 7 (05:46):
You could have said I got it and I'll be
home a little bit later if you were in the area.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Do you return any calls in that time?

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Any?

Speaker 7 (05:52):
No?

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Two and a half hours. It's two and a half hours.
You should have been updated with everybody, now, I mean,
what's that day? He knows I got it. Hey, I
got it. It's in my truck. If he wanted it,
he would reach it down.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
I got I got Lelie's car being serviced. So I'm
not going to be home till late today. But just
know I got it now.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
If you want to. You know he's afraid of because
I know him. I forgot.

Speaker 7 (06:14):
They could have said leave it on the front porch.
I'm gonna swing by later and get it.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
No, No, what you know he's afraid of.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
No, No, he's afraid that little Lee Hubbard, because you
know how Turkey hunters are, would be so fired up
it would come into Greg's world. He was afraid that
little Lee Hubbard woul come to his house. Well that's okay, No,
it's not because it'd be disruptive to you. You don't
like it, then you got to lock some dog up.
You didn't want to take that olls you sleepy at
that point? Was baby brothers sleepy? Now fell out in

(06:39):
that waiting room.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
So Gary drove all the way over here yesterday to
get in an urgent effort to get it to him,
and you didn't even let Lee know you have. Lee
didn't reach out to me. Must not have been that important, right, Greg, Right?
Ain't that worried about it? I get it.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Larry came by yesterday, so Lee needed it yesterday.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Must have been I look at it, baby brother. I looked,
I looked at Hey.

Speaker 7 (07:02):
I looked at Gary yesterday, and I forgot Why did
he just why didn't you just put this in the mail?

Speaker 2 (07:07):
I just forgot about He would get this so.

Speaker 7 (07:09):
Much quicker than if Greg is responsible for getting it.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Literally, Hubbard would get his new call.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Guys, you got plenty of turkey.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
He uses a spur mask, you know what about? Literally?

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Hubber would get it quicker if we just send it
by pony E s Breas.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yes yes end of the day. I didn't think nothing
about it. If Gary decided to walk it to it.
He would get it quicker. Guys, that's a fact. I
didn't volunteer. They brought me in it. And that's their fault.
Somebody's their fault.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Somebody somebody saying today for practical jokers is like true partiers.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Look at New Year's Eve. It's amateur day.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, he said so, so Gary probably want him get involved.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
That's true. You know too many amateur day.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
All right, we'll be back if if you want to
go to the number one list with Mama, go to
rickburgesshow dot com.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Look at that contest button.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Make Mama smile again with doctor Dudney will tell you
that it tells on that and continue to roll through
another day together. Thank you for being with us.

Speaker 8 (08:21):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Rick. I have to agree with you.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
I much rather go in person at Hooters instead of
getting taken out. Okay, Uh, speaking of that, looks like
looks like Hooter has Hooters. They have fire chapter eleven.
The hooting out Hooters has says filed chapter eleven. Uh,
you know what that means? The Little League coaches everywhere
in morning today.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
As that little League is never sure. Do you think
that the rise of twin Peaks has knock them off
the pedestal. You know, that's kind of one of the
very same thing. Bring them up a lot. I'm just
saying I know that I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
I don't know anything that their competition, Craig, I don't know, Greg,
I don't I look to you.

Speaker 8 (09:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
I'm not an expert on this.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
I promise you that, right, I really don't know, Greg.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
And then there's the other one about it tilted something tilt?

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Is that all the same approach?

Speaker 2 (09:20):
I'll put it.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
Specially, I'd like all these businesses to go up, if
you know what I mean, What do you know what
that's like?

Speaker 2 (09:30):
The first thing you're going to say to.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
That all those businesses?

Speaker 6 (09:33):
Could you know? Really?

Speaker 2 (09:34):
What are you saying? I'm so confused.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
It's another term for going out of business or going
I got you.

Speaker 6 (09:42):
Yeah you didn't.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
You didn't have to mouth it to us. We were
just watching you in this. To me, you were lucky languages.
You ever walked up on that earth worm that's laying
out there on the sidewalk in Alabama summer heat, you realize, man,
if somebody didn't help him.

Speaker 9 (09:55):
Yeah, boys, hot down here, yeah it was so I
got you.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
No, it certainly got you.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
But my question, my question was, is it is it
basically the all the same format? It feels like different,
different presentation there.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
I doubt it's a tribute to the mountains.

Speaker 7 (10:25):
Right, not a lot of bird watchers.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
And Uh, and Greg, you kept saying all throughout this
that the Hooters had an issue because you felt like
the food really wasn't that great?

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Nom not not great? Not a great wing? Are you serious?

Speaker 1 (10:44):
And and you've gotta have a great wing? You may
get these, I mean they've been around a while. But
like I say, I believe the other bunch uh copied
their business plan and food. I'm assuming I was going
to ask you this is anybody I know? We don't know,
But are the menus similar? I I know the the

(11:05):
theme is similar. I wonder rests Chicken is it?

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Then?

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Some people call bar food? Yeah? Yeah, bar and grill
good food. I like that style of food.

Speaker 6 (11:19):
Who doesn't?

Speaker 4 (11:20):
In case it is you guys ever fly on the
Hooters airline that went out of business.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
I forgot about that.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
They had forgot all about that. That completely left my
memory as it did most people.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah, one their phone number was eight eight eight fly hoot?

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Did that really happen? Just like I'm wondering, dream.

Speaker 6 (11:38):
Though it's real.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
Yes, And people make fun of it because it was
it was such a short business model that they had.

Speaker 6 (11:46):
It did not stay in business for long.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Well, I think it's you know, as you watch, as
you watch the landscape of time change. You know, we
always do the you know, we're old enough and Adler
can at least see it from not not as up
close as we can our age. But there was a
time when we were a much harder.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Society. Some of that good, some of that bad.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
But I think the tolerance for this kind of theme
in today's society, that that business plan, if you presented
it for the first time today, in today's environment, it
would never no pun intend to get off the ground.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
You know.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
And so I don't know how the others are doing
that you mentioned. I just know that Hooters, which you
would say was the pioneer. They they have filed chapter eleven,
and we had done a story earlier that they were
trying to return to which I never knew. They had
their original family friendly which they wanted to be. What

(12:45):
was it a beachy kind of yeah, but I don't
remember them ever having that presentation that this now because Adler,
you're kind of in charge of what's a family restaurant
and what's not? You of course kind of a unique
you declared the waffle house was a family restaurant.

Speaker 6 (13:01):
Yeah, that was a stretch.

Speaker 7 (13:02):
It was freamed it like midnight, right, guys, stop fighting,
this is the family resta never never.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
And they were like, you're.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Right, little guy, let's all sit down and this hold hand.

Speaker 8 (13:14):
This kid is right.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
This kid is out at midnight for some reason. That's right.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
I regret where are your parents?

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (13:24):
Why you broke fight?

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Though, guys, I now regret.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Punching that man over hash Browns broke up the fight.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
Well, it's odd that the Hooters Airline went out of
business considering all the money, they said, because their stewardesses
didn't have to have the life jackets. And you know.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
You, you know Allan KILWICKI won the NASCAR title driving
the Hooters car.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
You'll remember that, Thank you, Greg for that.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
Trivia Trivia remembers the important stuff.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Later he got killed the plane crash. When then, of course,
now we've come full circle.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Wow, you say back, I don't remember that he was
the independent team, owned his own stuff and won the
whole championship.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
It's a good story, I know, Greg, none of us
knew that. Y'all need that.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
No, Greg, we diet in you know. But he was
on his I think going to a Hooter event. Be
Hooters event, Yeah, Hooters event. You know what when you think,
you know, you know, when you think about the things
you don't want to be doing, that you don't want
to be doing as your last moment on earth, I
mean the last thing you did.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
He was just going to speak till I cany them.

Speaker 10 (14:36):
You know.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
That is a little different now he did have a
big howl on the hood. Is a little bit different, Greg.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
That I was flying to meeting Tim Tebow and his
wife to help people, Yeah, the most vulnerable people on
the planet, right, you.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Know, and do some mission work paper.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
I'd rather stand in front of the great I am
crashing on a mission trip as opposed on my way
to speak to Hooters.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yea franchisees. You know. So so No, Alan, I didn't know that. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (15:03):
At some point though, his thing the quality of food
does matter, that does come into play, and I haven't.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
Been to one, and I can't remember how.

Speaker 7 (15:11):
I can't really tell you if that's good or not.
But apparently not all right.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Somebody is saying they actually drove for the food service
company Cisco, you know that provides food for lots and
lots of restaurants. And they're saying the menus are not
even close. It's not the same. The menus are different
for the different the presentations in that same space.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
How'd you like that? That's good?

Speaker 3 (15:37):
That's not very well handled in that same space.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
In that same substantial somebody somebody saying that Alan Kowiki
actually died on April first.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Not sure what did we just come for? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
It's a great story, Like I say, independent, he was engineer,
built his own cars, all this stuff.

Speaker 6 (16:02):
April first, ninety three, April first, ninety three.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Who's got chilled?

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Who's got chills? Right now?

Speaker 2 (16:08):
It's all right, by the way, this is owning me.
Scrolled down just a minute min strolled up.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
My grandmother did not know there is right there, the
one right above, the last one up top. My grandmother
bought me uh a Hooters NASCAR when I was a kid.
Had no clue what she done. She was a Pentecostal
pastor's wife.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
But he gave me a look at it. It's an
owl on there and it says Hooters restaurant. That's on
the hood of the car. It is correct, Greg, thank
you for that. And then't like they had a picture
one of the wait shesses on the hood of the car.
Thank you for the clarity.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
The restaurant for you cooks for you all.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
We actually had to fall.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
We making people look comfortable.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Uh, we do have a story we'll do here in
a moment about sleep positions, which brings us to Heli
sleep dot com slash big vox. A strange, strange transition.
Are you talking about the sleep quiz?

Speaker 2 (17:12):
The sleep quiz? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (17:18):
And today on the website is the first day you
can register your mom for Make Mama Smile Again, a
seventeen thousand dollars dental makeover courtesy of doctor Dudney and
his team. And you can get that from Mama follow
the instructions. Just look for contest right there on the
home page. We mentioned these sleep positions. Here is the headline.

(17:42):
I'm a doctor. Oh and your sleeping position reveals a
lot about your health. A professional psychologist has revealed the
five most common sleeping positions and what they may suggest
about out whether you are under high stress. The name

(18:04):
doctor Kyle Osborne.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Who died and left the authority on this. Greg, I'll
tell you who.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
I'll give you his resume, a clinical psychologist at Ancora
Psychiatric Hospital in Philadelphia. Okay, if you're, if you're working
at sleep like that, If you are, if you're if
you're looking at the psychiatric hospitals around the world, you
think this guy doesn't see some memorable folk and.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
It goes, I wonder how they sleep? Hey in Philadelphia.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Yeah, but I'm just saying, right, what about this I sleep?
How I sleep?

Speaker 2 (18:39):
What that means? Greg?

Speaker 1 (18:40):
If you're going to start with that kind of attitude
before we even get into it at least studies, Yeah, well,
why don't you just why don't you let me throw
some of it out? Okay, let's see how you're doing.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Go ahead and dig in the hogwatch. Okay.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
He says that this is going to reveal a lot
about where you are on stress.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Lot.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
We start with the position the tree climber. The tree climber,
this is a spread out position. The tree climber is
you lying on your stomach with your arms extended up
and your legs pulled upward.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Also at ninety degrees. Who sleeps like that? Sleep?

Speaker 1 (19:15):
The tree climber says. At times, I do sleep on
my stomach. I'm not sure I'm a tree climber.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
I don't know about that.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
He says, at times, underlying stress can cause muscle tension,
making it difficult to find a comfortable sleeping position, and
forcing a person to resort to sleeping on their stomach.
They're saying the fact that you want He's saying, the
fact you want to sleep on your stomach is a
sign of underlying stress.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
But this.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Can actually worsen previous health conditions, such as snoring, sleep apnea.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
I don't have back pain.

Speaker 6 (19:50):
I can't sleep with my stomach.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Back our neck pain? Is there?

Speaker 6 (19:53):
My back getsshed?

Speaker 2 (19:54):
So you're no tree climber.

Speaker 6 (19:56):
No, I can't sleep on my stomach at all?

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Are you?

Speaker 6 (19:59):
I sleep on my side, so.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
You can That was fetal position.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
Uh, we'll get to that.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Okay, don't get ahead.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
And if you'd like to know who we're dealing with,
there's a picture of doctor Kyle Osmond. Thought that was
a guy that was in the Boys in the Hood. Greg,
you know that's got the Watson?

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Does that not look like it was his name? That's
not what I was asking, Just simply giving you a vision.
That's the first thing I say. Watson up next.

Speaker 6 (20:22):
Yeah, I've seen the previews.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Is it good what I'm talking about?

Speaker 9 (20:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (20:25):
Yeah, Watson? This guy here, yeah yeah, yeah, he was
the Hood.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Yeah. Wasn't he the new one? He Maybe wasn't. He's
just he's just black and ball Maybe I thought he
played the now doctor Kyle Osburn is just black and bald. Yeah,
that's that's it.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
He doesn't look just like I don't like guy. Okay,
all right, that's the pillow stacker. Having all your favorite
pillows under your neck make you may give you some
comfort and help your acid reflux, but it can cause stress, fatigue,
and mental health issues.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
I'm less pellas lifting lifting.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Your head too much or using too many pillows can
lead to a neck ache, which which can also affect
sleep quality and calls discomfort. So it says also a
prolonged lack of sleeping well has a wide range of
health issues, including risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and

(21:21):
also and he got that from that ye, and also
cognitive decline.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
If you're a pillow stacker, I'm not a pillow you mean?
I mean.

Speaker 7 (21:31):
No, I mean I'll take my my one pillow and yeah,
and he doesn't know they suggest sleeping with just one pillow.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Can you wad it up? I have to up. You
know when you take your arms and you squeeze it
like No, I have to Greg, I have to say
that right there. Best. If you waded up about this,
you know what I call it. I gotta do the
pillow sandwich.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yes, next, speedy, you mentioned it. The fetal position all
this the baby or the fetal sleep position. This is
when a person sleeps on their side, but they pull
their legs curled up.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
When he stands up, he looks like he's in the
fetal position to keep.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Them close to the chest, mimicking the position of a
fetus in the womb.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
I'm not curled up in a ball?

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Are you a fetal position? That helped you buy?

Speaker 3 (22:23):
I never said curled up in a baby?

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Do you sleep in this fetal position?

Speaker 11 (22:28):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (22:28):
Or no? No?

Speaker 2 (22:28):
No?

Speaker 9 (22:29):
No?

Speaker 4 (22:30):
Much more straight? If you sleep in this I'm straight
for the last time. I'm straight.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Greg has pointed out, there's never been a day that
your body has been straight.

Speaker 6 (22:41):
Well, it's it is when I try it, when I
look like.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
A scrimp.

Speaker 6 (22:56):
But it's not.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
If my leg, if my hips get if my hips
angle becomes less than a ninety here you goes ninety,
then you feel like your booty is sticking out.

Speaker 6 (23:08):
And I don't. I can't. I can't sleep like that.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
If you're going to, if you're going to like that,
if you go to the fetal position, this is a
sign of extreme stress. Oh do you hear people you
know have episodes and they say, well, there laying in
the fetal position. Correct, break if you ever had in
my life, if you feel a desire to get in
that fetal position that the doctor Gregg says, also has
a TV show called Watson. Uh that by the way,

(23:32):
right again on Boys and Hood, somebody can our bodies
naturally resort to self soothing and that's what this is
the final the flamingo, the sleeping positions when a person
sleeps on their back with one leg bent and pulled
towards the bomingo while the other remains straight. Yeah, you
get on your back. I never sleep on no, no, no,

(23:55):
I do that with lifting the leg, but I'm on
my stomach.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Rick, you did miss one the mummy.

Speaker 7 (24:01):
I missed the mummy, yeah, first one above the tree
climber mummy. Yeah, well I missed obviously. What it is
you know, you sleep, you know, like like your mom.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
People to pay their last respect that Now, what does
the mummy say about you?

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Says that is you're weird.

Speaker 6 (24:21):
They said it because you're dead inside.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Let me finish the flamingo. The flamingo says that this
that can help you with your back alignment. But most psychiatrists,
people and the psychiatric world says the flamingo is another
sign uh that that it's a heightened stress or nervous
system activity.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
That you have your legs in that position. What about
the mummy.

Speaker 7 (24:44):
It says that you might be feeling anxious, defensive, or frustrated.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
The mummy, You're just.

Speaker 4 (24:49):
Happy, you have a happy life. What about that position?
That's where I am. I'm not fetal like the baby
like y'all were saying.

Speaker 8 (24:56):
This is the Rick Burgess show.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
I thought about you know how some things are just
hilarious And I know, Adam, you have it on video one.
Did you see yesterday when you. I kept seeing all
these pictures of Kid Rock hanging out with President Trump
and the Executive Order. Did you happen to see what
Kid Rock decided to wear?

Speaker 8 (25:24):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (25:24):
I did.

Speaker 7 (25:25):
Did you did you see Peter Doosey had a good
time with that one?

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Did you see?

Speaker 8 (25:31):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (25:32):
This?

Speaker 1 (25:33):
I don't know where dead Rock speedy? How do you
even describe that?

Speaker 10 (25:37):
That?

Speaker 7 (25:37):
Well, it looks like what Peter Doocey said. He was
the reporter for Fox News in the Oval Office. And
Trump asked, Peter Doocy have you ever did you ever
see Biden do anything like this? And he said no,
he never stood next to anybody that looks like they're
about to get shot out of a rocket. A right,
all right, excuse me, I can and shot out of
his hand. Yeah, and hey, let me tell you something.

(25:59):
They both loved it, and they got tickled, both Kid
Rock and President Trump. But yeah, he was there to
watch President Trump sign the Executive Order on Ticket gallg
that deals with the ticket.

Speaker 11 (26:12):
Reselling business pot entertainment and for entertainers as well.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
The ticket resease that is the office huge issue.

Speaker 11 (26:21):
These people use box and computer algorithms to buy up
huge blocks of tickets and then jack up the price.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
So he looks like.

Speaker 11 (26:32):
Rocks access to concerts the way that they should, and
when they do, it's at exorbitantly high prices. So what
this executive order does It charges the FTC and the
Department of Justice with rigorously enforcing laws on the books
in collaboration with state attorneys general that have power over
consumer protection UH and other people who have the power

(26:55):
to really crack down on this issue so that entertainers
and fans won't be subject to these abusive and oftentimes
illegal practices.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Now, when you when you, yeah, this is talking about
all those scalpers out there, and it is horrible the
way they do that they have. But when you look
in the Oval office and Kid Rock's going to go, now,
this is a big deal to be standing next to
a sitting president as they sign an executive order. And
of all the things Kid Rock could have picked, he
went with this and it really does. Deucey said it perfectly.

(27:28):
It looks like a guy that gets shot out of
a cannon and a circus or something. It is red,
white and blue. Well, Gregy is acknowledging our upcoming two
hundred and fiftieth birthday, and I'm thinking, since I've got
a chance to do some of that for our home state. Rick,
if I don't get this outfit, Oh if I do
not get this outfit, if I don't start appearing in

(27:52):
that same exact outfit, oh yeah, that'd be good.

Speaker 7 (27:56):
Check your DM real quick, adler. I think that's Deucey's
come back. It's it's pretty so.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
So anyway, if they could do something about that, because
it's really ruined concert experience for a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
They really have. It's hard to just go by. You
weren't used to.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
They tickets go on sale, you went and bought the
ticket at the ticket booth, and.

Speaker 7 (28:12):
Well mister Rock said that he had taught with the
CEO of Ticketmasters and others, and they're they're in on this,
trying to help. So this is the comment. This is
when Peter Doucy killed with this one.

Speaker 8 (28:24):
Yeah yeah, and do news office just like this feeder.

Speaker 7 (28:27):
I don't think he was were standing next to somebody
who looked like they were about to be shot out
of a.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Cannon with a handshake. That one.

Speaker 6 (28:39):
That's a good one. Rick.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
You need the suit. I think you need a suit.
I think so you need to make appearances and started
out with my name is Ruth, come right out of
the gate instead of my name is kid Bro.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Oh wow.

Speaker 7 (28:58):
I don't think we have an end to Kid Rock,
but I really want to go to his house in Nashville.

Speaker 6 (29:04):
Yeah, the White House.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yes, it's y'all. It's a replic of yes, yeah. If
people keep telling me that, is that true? This is
really like a white house, Tucker Carlston. This is the
way I knew.

Speaker 7 (29:15):
I think he had a private tour or something that
he he he put out video of him walking through
the house and stuff. So yeah, Rick, it looks like
it looks like it.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Please let the show come. Yeah from what do you
think the people? And it's it's called American Village where
we live.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
It's a great place. I've never been.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
And so I'm getting to do the two hundred and
fiftieth birthday stuff thing, and I'm even doing the fireworks
show this summer as the shoot fireworks No, Greg, picture
me walking out on that stage with that. We got
time and just said hello America. Yes, I mean, I mean,

(29:56):
where do you get something like that down?

Speaker 2 (29:58):
I bet it ain't cheap.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
No, it's just really Kid Rocks White House Hill, good
got a pool in the back size, So is that
really it looks just like the White House, and people
are that's not that's not made up.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
That's not a joke or something a joke. That's real. Wow,
that's the kids done. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (30:16):
But but I mean I would have bought a bang
to bang diggie, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Kid Rock is is an interesting Yeah, yeah, he is
an interesting human being. I'll say he's a battle of
all kinds of interesting worlds. Yes, it's uh at one,
you know there there seems to be in the middle
there somewhere some sort of faith commitment, but not all in.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
But it's it likes the deer hunt. It's it's a
weird mix of things.

Speaker 6 (30:47):
It likes to beer hunt.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Yes, yes, that's like him on Rgan was at one
time done either.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
I know he hunted in Alabama, but somebody I think
he even owned property in South Alabama.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
No, I think that is true.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Yeah, and uh so anyway, so that they got that done,
Peter Doucy killed with his line. It was and that's
going to be I think the two hundred and fiftieth
actual birthday. You know, we're going over like a three
year period, right, to get there, and we're like, we're
now in year two of that, is that right?

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Working our way.

Speaker 6 (31:16):
To the official date is July fourth, right, Yes.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
It was seventeen seventy six to twenty twenty six, so
this is year two. We started our started moving in
twenty four. Now we're doing twenty five and then twenty
six will be the actual year where we actually are
turning two hundred and fifty.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
So, but the Rocks already got us two to fifty
on us.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Somebody said, it looks like you take Elvis in his
heyday and Evil Knievel in his heyday.

Speaker 6 (31:44):
Yes, and put them again.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
And smash them together, and you've got kid.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
Rocks and add Joe Dirt to the house to the equation.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
So we'll be back. The Rick Burgess Show is rolling.
Thanks for being with us.

Speaker 8 (32:02):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
So uh so let's uh.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
I saw this story yesterday and I can't believe how
this could even be possible. There has to be something
that I'm missing.

Speaker 6 (32:19):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
When we saw that Coastal Carolina is letting their football
Santa Clair, Yeah, letting their football fans know that next
football season, all concessions at the home games are free,
are free?

Speaker 2 (32:35):
How was that even that they had me head on over?

Speaker 1 (32:39):
That explains Speedy's Shan Shannon what they call Greg Santa Clear,
the Shanna Clear shirt on today for Coastal Carolina, Suddenly
the Carolina Suddenly Speedy's all Things Coastal Carolina.

Speaker 7 (32:50):
It's it's a pretty cool concept. Uh and we'll talk
more about it. But this video has the promotion team
walking up to the concession stand and going through the
process of order ring and then the person behind the
counter going no, it's free, it's free.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (33:05):
Here's a little back and forth of their promotional video.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Hey, how's it going good? What's the damage? Free? Free popcorn?

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Well, what about for this.

Speaker 6 (33:13):
Free as well?

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Drink free, all the free.

Speaker 10 (33:16):
If you want some nachos?

Speaker 3 (33:18):
Yeah too, all free, all free free?

Speaker 7 (33:20):
Can I get fifty leaves?

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (33:22):
Free free? What about a drink? All of it free?

Speaker 10 (33:26):
Have to drinks, drinks, talks free, tell free, there you go,
free free sweet. That's right till Nation this fall in
Brooks Stadium, every fan, every game, always free free concessions, popcorn, nachos,
hot dog, fountain, drinks and water for every fan this fall.

(33:46):
Come out to Brooks stadium. Get your tickets now and
cheer on the shots.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Go shots? What what's a shot? What are the shots?

Speaker 6 (33:55):
Shot? Shot?

Speaker 2 (33:57):
He also said the tale nation? That what he said,
till Nation shots. What's what's clear?

Speaker 6 (34:02):
Shot?

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Maybe shot shine? Shan of clear?

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Clear?

Speaker 2 (34:07):
The shots? I don't know clear.

Speaker 4 (34:09):
I know it was four items. Everybody can get four items.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
He said fifty he said fifty. No, there's no limit.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
I guess there's only uh this one items you can
choose from or you can get them all.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
I don't know this was released. Yes, there's no limit.
But but is it April fools?

Speaker 7 (34:24):
I mean this was released yet yesterday was the release
now because all of the they even have they even
have news stories on it. New York Times has a
story on it. I mean, this was March thirty first.
It wasn't April first. This was March thirty first. It
was released. W m B out of South Carolina also

(34:47):
did a new story and it says that they have
partnered with Ara Mark, a company to allow fans to
eat for free. So it has to say all the
indications are is that it's a legit story because you've
got everybody reporting on it. It wasn't something that broke today.
It was yesterday, but it does make you kind of

(35:08):
go hmm.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
And they and they do shorten it to shant shot
shot shots to clear.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Maybe it's shant Clear. What they're saying is c H
A N T S.

Speaker 6 (35:20):
Do we want to hear just that part again?

Speaker 2 (35:23):
That's weird, But he didn't say Shannon Clear.

Speaker 10 (35:25):
And every fan this fall, come out to Brooks Stadium,
get your tickets now and cheer on the shots.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Go shots that shot, shot shots. I guess they were shot.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
Really, I guess they're really.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
Isn't that a game cock or a rooster? Yeah, chicken shot?
Because they called the Jacksonville State newspaper the Shannon Clear
Ye have something to do with with the roosters and
game cocks, doesn't it?

Speaker 4 (35:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (35:52):
There it is?

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (35:55):
Some are saying the Savannah Bananas have offered free concessions,
so some are going this route.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
But well, here's what I'm trying to figure out. How
they're going to make money and I guess it's selling
tickets and but listen to this. So specialty items including
food from other vendors and alcoholic bearg just sorry, Greg
will still be available to purchase got it. Those locations
special locations and the menus are only the four items,

(36:24):
but you can get as much of the four items.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
As you want. Wow.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
But you can keep coming back multiple trips, but they
scan you every time.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
So I don't know. I mean, well, look it's a
it's a thing.

Speaker 7 (36:36):
I mean, when I was the stadium guy for UAB football,
we would we would do kind of best seats in
the house where we would give away food, you know,
for like four and some of the families that we picked, uh,
the you know, the parent would whisper to us, man,
you just saved us one hundred bucks, you know by
us winning. Because concessions if you've got a family, you

(36:58):
can get expensive if you're not, you know.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
And if you're trying to I remember you know those
it was a fundraiser for something and they had you know,
the reverse drawing when you bout one hundred dollars ticket.
Also you know that includes usually food, and they had
an open bar there.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
It is well, they ended up not making any money.
They end up owing money of course the open bar.
So the next year.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
They changed rules and you had like a ticket to
the bar or something. But then what I'm saying is.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
A lot of times you people, you get.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
A bigger response than you think you're going to get
in your your math didn't work out.

Speaker 4 (37:30):
Well, I'm looking here and uh to get two season
passes for their six home games.

Speaker 6 (37:36):
But one, two, three.

Speaker 4 (37:37):
Four, Yeah, yeah, it's uh, it's four hundred bucks.

Speaker 6 (37:43):
That's and I'm I went with the cheapest section.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
But of course Speed going to sign out rageous.

Speaker 4 (37:51):
But it's not a st you know what I'm saying.
It's not one hundred bucks, but I mean for a season.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
It's pretty season tickets for four hunder.

Speaker 6 (37:57):
Bucks's crazy good.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
It's not bad at all.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
But two and it's popcorn nachos. There's only four items,
so popcorn nachos, hot dogs, and Fountain drinks. I mean
that's really what you need that The hot dogs alone
are worth it.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
It's just gonna feed my family through the via this
season pass.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Now they better hope Joey Chestnut doesn't show up on him.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Does this promotion come back to buy them or does
it work if the Savannah Bananas have figured it out?

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Yes, all I can think of course.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
The first thing, I think we all had different things
we think of based on our personalities. My first thought
is this line will be brisk, This won't take any
time because there's no transaction. I there is gonna be
a lot of people want a lot of people want
to get. But it we already be going pretty quick. Well,
there's there people in decisive grab the stuff and let's go.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Let's go. You can come back later if you don't
have what you want.

Speaker 7 (38:48):
Well, Aaron Mart is a food food service company they use,
so they've teamed with them for this promotion. So I
guarantee you Coastal is not the one that's gonna lose
the money.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
It's just a huge spot to shiit. Uh.

Speaker 6 (39:01):
But you didn't have to look at that. Uh you
have to look at that field.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
Yeah, that field field to look let me tell you.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
Let's go with the green field please? And is it
Eastern Washington has a red tail?

Speaker 2 (39:16):
Are you anti colored?

Speaker 6 (39:17):
Field?

Speaker 2 (39:18):
You anti colored? You hate it? I almost hate it?
Is it an out? I'm between not liking it a
lot and hating it? Yeah? Is it a high school
or a college that has like the gray one?

Speaker 6 (39:29):
The gray one? Don't like it either?

Speaker 1 (39:31):
No, No, I just wanted to the green field. Come on,
I can't the boys. It was really hard to look at,
especially when they're weather. They're solid blue and you can't
see them, right. Yeah, So Savannah bananas, we got face
over there going, let's complete mayhem. Now this thing has

(39:52):
gone over huge. You see the umpire doing twerking.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
And everybody's acting.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
Everybody's performing that, but that that particular and you know
this is there.

Speaker 8 (40:04):
It is you.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
You find the Savannah bananas to be annoying, don't you,
But well they have potential. But to be fair, I
haven't seen one. But on the surface, if you know
how you approach things cautiously that you don't feel good about,
this is not your thing, is it.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
It's starting to feel that way. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
Look, and I appreciate anybody that successful, and I may
love it. The idea made all that's phenomenal, but it's
really it's the Harlem Globe Trotter's basically, Yeah, which is fine,
nothing wrong with that, but a lot of people love it.
But the crowds they're drawing and undergroundbelievable. Yeah, it's unbelievable.

Speaker 7 (40:38):
Yeah, they're selling out like professional stadiums. It's a waiting
list Greg lottery for it.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
Wow, Now that's ridiculous. But yeah, it's crazy. I just can't.
It's just not your thing. The dance line there it is.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Yeah, oh I got my you know, face on.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
I'm being very animated.

Speaker 8 (41:02):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
So the Savannah Savannah Bananas. Yeah there, you know, it's
a great American success story. We remember us interviewing the
main banana back on Rick and Bubba when it was
first starting. Whether we ever looking for stadiums now it
is become becoming a massive, huge ordeal from the text

(41:33):
line going to see the Savannah Bananas this weekend at
Bush Stadium sold out. I'm with you, Greg, but my
wife's all about it. There you go, it's calling for
rain so maybe I'll have a fortune enough.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
To have a rain out.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
So so if there's anything that everybody seems to agree
on and seems to find, you know, lighthearted, or maybe
we're all in on it, you're always willing Greg to
walk up and rain on it.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
Well.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
And it's not a complete rain on this because I
haven't seen it in person.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
But some of the things I say, they get on
my nerves, you know. I how about this the stumpy
umpire that can to work?

Speaker 1 (42:14):
Is it comes about being stumpy and he's got a
real little beard and he can actually twork.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
It's just a bib to me. You you find that annoying?
I do.

Speaker 7 (42:21):
Is it because it's on a baseball field? Is that
it's bothering you? Because you you know, people go to musicals,
they go to plays, they go to the entertaining events,
and that's what it is.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
They're just doing the best comparison.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
I love the Globe trotters coming up. It's like that,
and that helps me. I haven't seen it. It's just
of course I tell you this. If you do talk
about about them, people just think.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Here we go, k And this is what trigger you
don't just love the vandam bananas, you're some kind of
something's wrong with you.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
Here's that that's a trigger for him. Now that is
a se it and love it okay. But plus when
people and like I said, we won't leave me alone
about it. And that's what there's the trigger, says an
outfilsh press sure to like it, which really turns him
the other way. It's like something don't fact you know
the end that I that I got to make my
own mind about it. I mean they're telling me before

(43:09):
you see this, you better love it. Don't you're an ass?

Speaker 6 (43:15):
Say that? What he says that to you?

Speaker 1 (43:17):
So you're you're you feel like the people get you
where you mad clear they consider you that bothers you. Yeah,
now you know, cause if you're a grumpy o jerk person,
you don't like them.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Now if you're if you're you know, if you love
them like everybody else, and you're gonna get you're on
the good side. I do like the use of jerk
person better. Yeah, I'm trying to clean it.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
But here's but here's the other thing is there are
people who secretly feel the way you do, and do
you feel like you're speaking for them a little bit?
I do, because again the crowd, I mean if you
even for a second act like I don't know about that.
What Okay, if you want to put on your silly
banwn a hat and they love to tell you about
to sell outs and I get it, that's awesome.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
They got a great product.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
I haven't seen in person, so I'm not going to
just completely crap on it.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
But at this point in my life it kind of
gets on my nerves a little bit.

Speaker 7 (44:05):
But to be now that could it because it is popular,
you hate it because people want to force you to
like in it.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
Yeah, and if you don't like it, there's something wrong
with you. Right.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
It was these things that bother Greg is when someone
portrays that the whole society is.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
In agreement about something, when you said, that's really not
true and I'm not And again I'm trying to be fair.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
I haven't seen it and might enjoy it, but you've
seen highlights I have, and that's where I'm kind of at.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
So would you go in right now? Would you do
like the guy turning flip catching the ball? It ain't that?
Would you remove all dancing? Did you sing? Does? Kind of?

Speaker 1 (44:40):
That's just would you remove all dancing that's on the table? Okay,
we need to see it in person. What about are
you bothered by the opponent? Hey, party animals? We've got
sleeveless shirt.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
Would you would you? Would you?

Speaker 1 (44:53):
Would you revamp the the opponent opponent and make it
a little something, make it like not silly, I.

Speaker 4 (45:01):
Don't know, not as silly as the Savannah bananas. I
think it can be silly.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
Guys, But the party animals, I'm almost drafted, Greg. I
would have made the opponent something different. Opponent, Greg dressed
in black, almost militant, more menacing. Yeah, the party animal thing.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
To me, you could have done better than that.

Speaker 4 (45:23):
Do you guys want to see him talk about how
seats are so high in demand they have to change
their whole seating structure.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Greg, Now he's going he's going to give a serious
interview dressed like this.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
Yeah, this is Jesse Cole And we interviewed him a
few times. That's what I'm marketing. Genius marketing, genius marketing genius, Greg, absolutely,
And I will give you that.

Speaker 4 (45:44):
Now.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
Does it bother you that his ear is folded down
by his hat?

Speaker 2 (45:47):
That does bother That bothers me?

Speaker 6 (45:50):
Bothered by that?

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Okay, here he is.

Speaker 12 (45:53):
And so what we learned or what we saw is
that hey reserve seating at stadiums. They're empty seats. Watch
a major league game, look behind home plate early in
the game and a lot of the seats are empty.
And because oh I've got my seat, I don't have
to come, I don't need to get there early. I'll
show up whenever I need to show up. And I said, no,
there's got to be a better way. What if we
do open seating so the biggest fans get there early

(46:15):
and they fill up all the seats and it's a
better energy, better experience like that. We've done that for
nine years until recently we just stopped because what happened
is our the excitement for thenibal experience reached more of
a fever pitch.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
It was unsafe.

Speaker 12 (46:32):
People have been saving seats, other fans get in fights.
No that's my seat, that's not my seat. I watched
what we believe would be a great experience got to
a point where it's no longer.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
You think it's a MAINI you think his ears hurt
and it bothers me.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
The ears bother me, and that bothers y'all when people
when people say I like half a row.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
Yeah, yeah, it was miserable experience.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
And you're standing there going I need to see these sids.
You can't sit here.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
The only thing I hate worse than it is being
the person who has to save the sat. And I
got to tell people, oh gosh.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
It makes me not want to go.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
I'm a nervous direct Where are you on the who
bothers you the most? I'm saving multiple seats or we
all have reserve seats. But I get to the event
late and you're finally excited. You've been there, ready to go,
and I walk in late, right when it's starting, And
now I'm in front of you and I can't find
a seat, and I'm being disrupted.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
And we all know what time this thing started. We
all know, everybody.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
I'm gonna give you this to try to help. You
can save two seats, that's all. You can't say twelve.
See that's the ones that killed me. If you saving
a couple of seats, even three, I get that.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
Year little bit.

Speaker 3 (47:42):
So one person can save three seats?

Speaker 2 (47:44):
Is that your rule? One person three seats one?

Speaker 6 (47:46):
What if there's two people there? Can they save seat six?

Speaker 2 (47:49):
So they save two? But so total of four seats.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
I'm just saying these anyone who thinks they can have
a whole row, that's just that's not right.

Speaker 10 (47:57):
No.

Speaker 4 (47:58):
Here they are selling out Fenway part last year, by
the way, Savannah Bananas sold out fan.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
I can't I'm missing something. I can't believe what it's. Well, Greg,
now don't forget do not do you?

Speaker 2 (48:09):
Greg?

Speaker 1 (48:10):
You know this We've done. We make a living at this.
Never ever discount the power of FuMO. The fear of
missing out, the fear of missing out. There are people
at these banana games. They don't even know why they're there.
Good point, great job to Oh Ben ears fom got them.

(48:32):
You could even ask him was it a great show?
I don't know, but I know I was supposed to
be there. I went because I was afraid I was
going to miss it. If these people are this excited
about it, I must. And this is what Greg doesn't
like it.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
He feels like people are.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
Trying to pressure him to like something without it winning
him over by merit, and he will not go down
that road.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
You cannot. You cannot force him down that road.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
That's why I'm not going to say I completely hate it,
because I haven't seen it live.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Now that right there is not helping you, so you
could do without that.

Speaker 4 (49:01):
I don't like your dancing videos. I don't understand why
people like watching other people dance. I don't understand TikTok
at all. I'm a thousand years old.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
How do you feel about dance? Offs?

Speaker 3 (49:11):
Don't like them?

Speaker 1 (49:12):
Tell them when they're battling, you about battling, and then
when they stopped, they point to the other guy, And
now your turn are you? Do you want to tell
the world if you decide to take your grandkids and
they're gonna be the key. Oh sure that Greg will
take his grandkids to a Banana's game somewhere. Looks like
a bit of an uphill climb, a little two crimes.
Would you like for people to stop telling you how

(49:33):
great it is until you actually go yes?

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Let me be the judge of that.

Speaker 7 (49:38):
If Ellis looked at you said, Papa, yes, if you
would take yes, I would. Would you stand up and
even if I didn't like it, I didn't put them
on your shoulders and go yes?

Speaker 1 (49:53):
Right?

Speaker 2 (49:53):
Absolutely, right, Pop, I'm having the best.

Speaker 1 (49:55):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
You're gonna let them make fun of baseball like that,
and that's fine.

Speaker 6 (50:00):
They're mocking the game.

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Very interesting. No, I have not been to one either.

Speaker 7 (50:07):
No, Abo, I'll give you a free ticket. Yeah, let
me try this great again, maybe Coast of Carolina. I've
kind of tried to put it over here in this
entertainment world. To see a guy to work and then
spent around and throw at ninety two miles an hour
into home plate cool, which means they are talented. Then

(50:31):
talking to Jesse that you remember he said, but we
also find talent like it's al must like we have
talent search where you go, okay, what's your talent? Sure,
and get on stilts and be you know, try to
run to first. They basically kind of cool.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
They do like a P. T. Barnum used to do. Yeah,
you all come out and audition and we picked the action.

Speaker 7 (50:51):
Yeah yeah, if you kind of put it over there,
then in that category, get it. But the dancing, I've
never liked that. I think the only movie I ever
stomached with anything like that was Grease, anything anything where
they stop and sing.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
I'm like, eh, I can't. I can't deal with that.
I don't. I mean, yeah, now the guy got me
on the back flip catching them. You've made that person clear.
Have you found one thing? But you found it.

Speaker 7 (51:16):
And there's unique things like a foul ball if they
catch it, you know, and then I got to know
the rules and put one defensive player out there and
he's running trying to get the ball while the other guys.
You know, there's some fun things to it. If you're
a baseball fan, I understand that some go, well, I
wish there was more baseball.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
Then they stop and dance too much, you know, But
I mean it looks like it's a big party, is
what it does. Well, you're not going to a baseball game.
You're going you're going to a circus that happens to
have some baseball in it. And what a great job
of marketing and all that.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
Well done.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
Yeah, they are you very successful. You applaud their success.
Oh absolutely, even though his ears are bent down with
that half.

Speaker 3 (51:54):
Yeah that boys, and.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
You don't want to be pressured to like it. No,
we'll be right. I'm not a bad person.

Speaker 8 (52:00):
Is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
So we're down to the final four in college basketball,
and the final four will play this weekend?

Speaker 2 (52:12):
Correct, Yeah, the fifth Yeah, so that's uh, that'll be Saturday.
You know it's the same time. That's right. What was
it the four number one?

Speaker 7 (52:23):
The last time four number one seeds made the final
four was in San Antonio two thousand and eight. It
was April fifth through seventh, and the same sac thing.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
Yeah, but that's fascinating. You're on that back like we're
a hack man. So it will be Houston. More info
on happening Houston Duke, Auburn and Florida.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
So Florida Auburn play Houston Duke play correct?

Speaker 2 (52:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (52:46):
Right, yes, all right, So that's all coming up this weekend.
Houston's team to me at people our age Greg Houston
is nothing but five Slama Jama, which you know was
up the team n S eight. Houston Basketball has returned
to the Final four. They have a good team. But

(53:07):
when you're getting into the world now of nil and recruiting,
having to tolerate spoiled brats because you know they're getting
paid and it's all about the money and all this,
the Houston basketball.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
Coach says that he has not caved all that.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
He's saying, if you want to not have problems, there's
one way to do it, and you just have to
be bold enough to do it. And here he is
speaking to the lack of drama on his team.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
Here we go.

Speaker 13 (53:35):
I learned a long time ago, well, if you don't
want problems, don't recruit them. I don't recruit entitlement kids.
There's no way that I recruit a kid unless I
know that he'll buy in the way we do things here.
But because of the success of this program, every kid
that were recruiting knows exactly what it is he's getting into.

(53:58):
You know, they research us as much as we research them.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
Can you really do that.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
I love his sentiment and I agree with his sentiment,
but can that really I mean, he has a team
in the final four, would we find you can't be
as hard nosed in the hard line as you once were.
I mean, because they have so many options now they'll
just leave. Is he saying if you produce a great
program that wins, you still can get them to adhere

(54:27):
to your way or no way because they want to
be on a good team. Now, you can't get away
with saying I want recruit entitlement kids and not be
good because then you know a kid who wants to
be But I mean, if I'm an entitlement kid, will
I now swallow my entitlement ways to play for Houston?

Speaker 7 (54:45):
And he said there's so many teams that you're not
going to have to right, But I guess he makes
that a priority in his recruit Well, I mean taking
point to right now we're in the final four. Well,
I mean, look at what coach Saban did for so long.
It was all about the process, It was about the system.
It is about developing kids for the future. And I
know anybody that goes to Houston, who Houston, their their

(55:05):
goal is to make it to the NBA, right and
win championships. Maybe they just buy into that.

Speaker 10 (55:10):
Well.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Yeah, But what I was wondering is I believe one
of the reasons that Saban retired is he started getting
players that would not buy it.

Speaker 7 (55:16):
Correct, Yeah, he said, I'm out.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
So what I was wondering is can you still get
them to buy into that? I understand. I totally agree
with the saving way and and uh and this coach's way.
I agree with their way that. I mean, we were
we can we were raised, we were raised by man
that that that's the way he did things. My question
isn't that, It is can you still do it in

(55:38):
this environment and have players? And apparently he can in
his case. Yes. Yeah. Of course a basketball team doesn't
need as many players as a football team, so you
don't have as many that you have to do.

Speaker 7 (55:49):
Do you think because he's had this for so long
and and and that system is developed and that that,
like he said, the players know before they what you're.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
Getting into, what you're getting into.

Speaker 1 (55:58):
Yeah, So I mean he's certainly still having to pay players,
because everybody does. But what I was wondering is, you know,
is it Yeah, I know, you don't want to recruit
entitlement people. It's just interesting that he's found enough that
aren't that way, that adhere to that adhere to his way,
and they're still good.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
Yeah to me, to me, that is that is very rare.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
But but this entitlement deal that we have, with the
things going on right now with with young young athletes,
and the amount of money that we're giving people who
have no idea how to deal with this, and and
the fact that you know, I saw somebody play a
clip talking to some players one time, and you know

(56:45):
the days when you looked at the coach and said,
you know, if I've got a great father, he's still
the second most influential man in my life. If I
don't have a father, he's the most influential influential man
in my life. He is the guy that taught me.
He's the guy that took me, and he's the guy
who discipled me, disciplined me. He's teaching me how to
be a man. The other day, they had a bunch
of player sitting around and asked it to him about

(57:07):
the coach. These players, you know what they said, he's
the one that pays us.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
Really, how about that? See, that's different. That's different.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
He's the one that pays us versus he's the one
teaching me to be a man and leading us two
different worlds. So what I'm saying is he's found players
that don't see him as the guy who pays us,
only they see him as something more. And he says,
that's the kind of player I'm looking for, And he
found some good ones. He's in the final four the
top of the hour.

Speaker 8 (57:34):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
Comedy content because he's very good observing things anyway, right,
And when he said that his wife accused him of
not listening, he said, least I think that's what she said.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
But anyway, so.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
We've had this ongoing deal. A lot of husbands have
been accused that we don't listen. Okay, that we have
all this. Well, well, I hope you ladies are paying
attention today. Women really do have better hearing than men.
Study confirms better hearing better here, they musically better.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
Science, y'all just hear better than we do. Okay in
a nutshell, which of course, or do we just don't
they listen better?

Speaker 10 (58:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (58:25):
Women never listen.

Speaker 3 (58:27):
Women never listen.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
Listen Listen to this you're telling them to listen.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
That's funny up in a nutshell, which, of course is
what I would always ask, Can you break can you
break this down to a nutshell?

Speaker 2 (58:38):
I think most of you out there, all across the
world are saying the same thing. Give me the nutshell.
Here's the nutshell.

Speaker 1 (58:45):
Women have approximately two decibels more sensitive hearing than men
across all populations studied, making biological sex and gender, not
age the merry factor in hearing sensitivity. If you're a man, ness,

(59:07):
you just don't hear as well as women.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
We can't help it.

Speaker 1 (59:12):
We can't help I am sending this to get one
about it and quit talking down to It's because you
hear here, well they I thought it was the other
way around. I've always thought it's their frequency of their
voice versus the male frequency. But now I'm realizing it's
not that my ears actually can't get yeah, not to

(59:35):
the level to where my wife's ears can get. So
next time I get accused of that, I'm gonna go
see you making fun of me because I can't hear that.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
We have a challenge, we have, we have a challenge.
Uh they said that.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
Actually, Uh, this is gonna be another problem going forward
that now transgender men, will they now not be able
to hear as well?

Speaker 2 (59:58):
No, because there's still me. No more can they birth
children either?

Speaker 4 (01:00:05):
Right?

Speaker 10 (01:00:06):
So that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
Did you know this too?

Speaker 7 (01:00:08):
The right ear consistently demonstrates slighter, better hearing than the left.
I have noticed that across all populations all why I've
noticed that in my own own world.

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
Really get on your right side. I've never known. I
can't tell you the number of times that you're on
my left side.

Speaker 8 (01:00:23):
I got no idea with speeds.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
Man, Oh, but I didn't know that.

Speaker 6 (01:00:26):
You don't know why listen? You don't listen.

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
You can't blame it on you.

Speaker 13 (01:00:32):
I know why.

Speaker 7 (01:00:32):
I know why this happens. I'm serious. You need to
see you've done it, and I've done it. Sometimes wearing
these headphones will slide the right ear back, but the
left ear stays on. I think our left ear has
been damaged. Damaged so much with these headphones has that
I think it's just slowly. But you know what they
said that that women can hear whispering better.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
And I agree with that. You can sometimes be a
little bit of a low talk.

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
I'm like, I can't hear you, or I'll be making
like a smart Aleen remark as I'm walking off just
to myself.

Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
I heard that it does it says that. How did
I hear that?

Speaker 7 (01:01:08):
It says women are picking up whispered conversations better than men.

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
This time has finally confirmed your observation.

Speaker 7 (01:01:15):
Researchers have spanned five countries and have discovered that they
can pick up whispering better than men.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
Three things.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
I was clearly far enough down the hall, I thought,
and I was saying something smart like I was getting
back ag.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
She was like, I heard that what I'm like happened
to me over the weekend. I was on the screened
in porch. I don't know how she heard you. I
don't know how to.

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
Watch through through the door.

Speaker 4 (01:01:37):
Yes, yes, that happened to me one time I thought
Aaron was outside.

Speaker 6 (01:01:40):
How is that even possible?

Speaker 3 (01:01:41):
I heard that? How through the door?

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
I thought you were outside.

Speaker 6 (01:01:46):
I'm sorry it wasn't talk.

Speaker 2 (01:01:48):
About it where you could hear me.

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
One thing, If you've just been clear what you want
to do, I don't want to do. I heard that, yeah,
and I was like, how did you hear that to me?
I heard talking to myself on.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
The screen, DINGO, I'll tell you what next time you
do it. That was all of it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:02):
Yeah, they So here's here's our takeaways. Women two decibels
higher than me. They can hear better, two decibels to
the goodysically they can hear whispering better.

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
And the right ear overall here is better than the left.
That's our takeaway. That's where we're at. That's our takeaway.
That goes back to the whow we're still getting wrong
in of it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
I don't know, yep, Well, I will tell you this.
I think it's time for us to embrace this challenge.
Uh and say, like you said, Greg, making fun of
us means that you're insensitive to the fact that our
biological gender has given us a hearing disadvantage. If you
want to make fun of that, go ahead, Honey. I
didn't hear you because I'm not interested. I didn't hear

(01:02:42):
you because I'm a man.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
You don't have to really, don't ridicule me about my
hearing loss.

Speaker 7 (01:02:46):
And if you're in the kitchen and I'm in the
room and there's a box fan in here, you're gonna
have to speak up.

Speaker 4 (01:02:53):
I can't hear you, bathroom, I can't hear you. I'm
in the bathroom, and that's where the fan is.

Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
Can I hear I need you to?

Speaker 1 (01:03:01):
Just anybody got an issue with your wife saying I
can't hear you from another room, but then they try
to talk to you from another room.

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
Yes, I thought we've established that as a truth. If
you can't hear you, I can't hear you.

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
If you can't hear me, and I get that all
the time. If you can't hear me from another room,
then I can't hear you from the right. It works
both ways, didn't we didn't we establish.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
That as a truth.

Speaker 7 (01:03:21):
Forest dwellers seem to have the highest sensitivity of forests.
Forest dwellers show the highest sensitivity versus people in high
altitude regions. Urban potipulations about it says environment shapes what
frequency people hear best.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
And they're just saying that. I didn't know there were
a lot of forest people out. The only reason I
read that is because I want to about it. Greg
from the forest dweller they dwell in the forest. From
the really good Gregg from the text line.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
Not all women can better, especially those who have had
speedy bark in their ears.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
Gosh, I'm mighty gets mad about them.

Speaker 3 (01:04:12):
That is excellent.

Speaker 2 (01:04:15):
I heard that. We'll be right back.

Speaker 8 (01:04:18):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
So April Fool's Day if you're listening to the show
live or the day that it was actually done. Uh,
and this always garners. You know, caution, you know, are
you gonna get some sort of text from one of
your kids?

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
Do you know what to believe not to believe.

Speaker 1 (01:04:41):
We've already told you that radio goobs love this kind
of thing when they chat like they're changing the format
and things like that, and so speedy you were, you
were talking in the break, you're kind of leaving April Fools.
You're just saying really pranks in general.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
Yeah, it kind of makes you think of that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:59):
Yeah, you you've done some pretty good April Fools one
on fools Day ones on your family.

Speaker 7 (01:05:04):
I didn't even realize that until I texted the group
this morning. You know, hey, heads up April Fools. Don't
you know to be praying?

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:05:11):
And everybody's like yeah, blah blah blah, And then Tyler
replied and said, yeah, I still have I still have
nightmares about the one you pulled on me when you
told me I was getting a dirt bike and I
don't remember that. You don't remember doing that to your
don't It must have been a good one, though.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
He's a grown man. I would call that scarred. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:05:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:05:34):
Was that related to when he wanted the dirt to
do the dirt ministry?

Speaker 13 (01:05:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:05:37):
I guess maybe it was a year or so after
that and I thought, hey, this will be a good one.
But it made me just ask the question, what is
the best prank you've ever ever ever been involved with?
Like you think it's the best one ever, or after
the pranks over you feel terrible or you wish you
were never involved. It was so good like it's a

(01:05:57):
bad like it was a bad situation or one that
you and now I know the one at the farm
has to be with Gary and Grey Dawson.

Speaker 2 (01:06:04):
Is that yours?

Speaker 1 (01:06:05):
Gary, Scott Dawson and Mark Garnett. Is the greatest prank
day I've ever lived. I did take some heat for it,
and it was and it got scary at one point,
but I look back on it finally it was that
the number one for you.

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
It's got to be.

Speaker 10 (01:06:22):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:06:22):
Of course the gunners will treaty what happened there. That
one is not a fine memory. That one that's the
one you're looking for on the other category. Yeah, in
the middle, in the middle of it, you started wanting.

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
To take it back. Yeah, I wish I never started this. Yeah,
this one, this one's not going well. But you little man,
well you know.

Speaker 1 (01:06:43):
Obviously the telephone one, which I did about almost to
the end when that guy, when you hugged that guy
because you were so happy he brought that wanted.

Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
To back out.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
I wanted to I wanted to back out. I felt
bad for about three I don't believe that. I don't
think that's free. Second, I do not think that's true.
I don't think there was ever a moment you felt better.
And then I didn't pull this prank, but I knew
it was happening. Was in on that part is when
Gary got Lee Hubbard on his airplane we landed, these
guys come out in like official inspectors that they had
been tipped that there might be something I legal on

(01:07:14):
that plane, and they started asking him for all this paperwork,
and he took it hook line and sinker. Oh boy,
he was When me and jar were laughing, he was
going to the same funny y'all, you know, But we
were in on.

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
It, but it was funny. It was hilarious.

Speaker 7 (01:07:25):
Do y'all realize that Gary has been involved with too?

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
You remember, yeah, now that one on the phone. I
thought you were playing along.

Speaker 7 (01:07:33):
For theres no way you could have been in that
same room and thought I was playing along. See, we
have people here in the audience.

Speaker 2 (01:07:39):
Such a great job of selling it. I don't know
how you could have been. Eviitor imagined that I was involved.

Speaker 1 (01:07:45):
Well, you know, the perfect storm. It fell a the box.
Really it looked a lot more authentic.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
Than I thought. Yeah, you knew speedy, we got the
guy that brings it to you. You actually knew him,
and that a chance.

Speaker 7 (01:07:57):
So I really thought it was for those of you
have no clue what we're talking about, Greg as well
as Bubba.

Speaker 11 (01:08:07):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:08:07):
It was they acted like because they knew I y'all
doing that because he's not here. No, no, no, I
told him we've discussed this before.

Speaker 7 (01:08:13):
The new iPhone had just come out and you couldn't
find one, and and y'all acted like y'all had found
one and brought me one and it was still and it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:20):
Was in the box. There was some a listener wanted
to bring you one and your inside. The phone was
in there, My Envy two was in there.

Speaker 7 (01:08:27):
Yeah, but and I thought, I thought that that, you know,
my gosh, y'all brought me one and I just thought
it was the greatest morning ever.

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
And I opened up. It's his old Frank. But I
went across the hall to another place of business, and
I was looking for somebody to bring it in there
and be part of the joke. And believe it or not,
Speedy knew the guy. So that made it that much
more believable. And that was just by chance. Yeah. But
but what I was Speedy thought, man, this guy.

Speaker 1 (01:08:50):
But you know, you know how certain things trigger people
like it would be easy to fool you if I
did something to your grandchildren, because it catches you off.

Speaker 10 (01:08:59):
Gune.

Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
You know that free things trigger speed. Oh yeah, it
triggers him, but it was it makes it. It makes
him more gullible and easier to trigger.

Speaker 7 (01:09:09):
I knew that I was going to have to pay
for you know, I didn't know. I just thought, my god,
because you couldn't find one. They weren't even in the store.
And so I thought because there was a call out,
we were even talking about not.

Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
Being able to find one. It was Uh, I got
one and had the box. Yeah, and we put in
and I got packing tape and made it look sealed
and a really good job.

Speaker 3 (01:09:32):
He did a good job, grad did.

Speaker 2 (01:09:34):
But I do not buy that you ever felt bad
about it. Yeah, I cannot buy that. I will say this.
I didn't feel bad, but I did at one point
think he was playing along.

Speaker 3 (01:09:42):
Yeah, we thought you knew about it.

Speaker 7 (01:09:44):
There's no way you could have thought on But I
thought to you, he was like, he's just doing this
because you know how, like I take care of you
and all that, and.

Speaker 1 (01:09:51):
Yeah, Speedy, Speedy, don't pursue him trying to figure out
why he felt bad, because he did.

Speaker 8 (01:09:58):
Because he did.

Speaker 2 (01:09:59):
Thank you, Thank you for that fresh world.

Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
Remember the stink spray incident too. I was trying to
get in Speedy's office and I didn't think it was,
you know, strong enough, so I kept it out lowering.
I should have just prayed more than I should have prayed,
and we had to open all the doors of the
studio like a day.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
Well but but but were you involved with this one too?

Speaker 7 (01:10:20):
Somebody put like some type of pham on the receiver
of my telephone in the office and called it and
I and I said hello, and it got all over
my ear and in my ear and all that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:31):
Were you involved with that? I wasn't here yet. I
don't think this. This was a few studios ago. Will
you involved that? Because I got pretty mad at that
one in my ear would have done that? What about you,
budd That doesn't sound like me.

Speaker 3 (01:10:45):
Yeah, that doesn't sound like us.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
I think it was an internal Do you have any
of you could take back? Deep in any of you?

Speaker 4 (01:10:53):
You wish the most successful one I ever had, in
which I had two grown men embracing each other out
of fear.

Speaker 6 (01:11:00):
Grown men is a stretch.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
We were eighteen, so that's a big stretch.

Speaker 3 (01:11:03):
Yeah, big stretch. They were way bigger than me.

Speaker 4 (01:11:07):
They were huge, Uh this on this was on a
mission trip for church, and so they had two beds
and four dudes in each room, just because that's how
they do it sometimes on these trips, you know. And
so me and my buddy were with the two biggest
dudes on the trip. But he was a big guy too,
So basically it was three grown men in a little
boy in a room. Yeah that doesn't sound good, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
And sounds like a terrible Jeffrey Epstein joke.

Speaker 4 (01:11:32):
Two of those guys in the other bed were snorers.
Horrible joke. They were snorers, bad snores. We're three nights
into this and me and my buddy are like sitting
there awake again for two hours during the middle of
night because these dudes in the other bed are snoring,
and so we made a plot. I was like, all right,
if they snore again tonight, we're gonna get them. And
my buddy just so happened to have a very very

(01:11:53):
good velociraptor impressionation, you know, the raptors. For some reason,
that's a funny thing you do. He was a kid
or whatever, but he would run around and.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
He could do the noise.

Speaker 3 (01:12:04):
He could do, he could do the noise, he could
run around. He looked like a real one.

Speaker 4 (01:12:09):
So I said, all right, if we find ourselves both
awake in the middle of the night, I'm gonna go.

Speaker 1 (01:12:14):
Like that.

Speaker 3 (01:12:15):
That's the code word for when we're gonna fire.

Speaker 4 (01:12:17):
And so when so he stood at the foot of
the bed getting ready to do his dinosaur routine, and
I got on the lights of the light switches in
the room, and so.

Speaker 2 (01:12:26):
I go.

Speaker 6 (01:12:28):
Quiet.

Speaker 3 (01:12:30):
That was the signal, because you could you could hear
it through the night, through the darkness?

Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:12:38):
So and then he goes, you know, he does his
crazy thing at anything.

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
And I flash the lights.

Speaker 3 (01:12:43):
Coo coo, cookok cook, good cook, and then we go
silent dark.

Speaker 4 (01:12:47):
These dudes wake up, sit up, scream, scream in the
bed and embrace each other, shirtless and screaming in the middle. Yes,
they embraced each other, and then it's just quiet in
the room, and they're like, what's happening and they just
lay back down and it's silent in the room.

Speaker 3 (01:13:09):
And then me and my buddy, we can't help it,
and we just start busting out.

Speaker 2 (01:13:12):
Laughing noise again one another.

Speaker 3 (01:13:15):
We should have done another round, and we just start laughing.

Speaker 4 (01:13:17):
Evidently, in their you know, half asleep state, they thought
there was like an exploding fire coming out of the wall,
and that's why they embraced each other.

Speaker 3 (01:13:25):
And so we had a good laugh about it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:27):
Did you hold that over their head for the rest
of the rest.

Speaker 3 (01:13:29):
Of their lives?

Speaker 6 (01:13:29):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (01:13:30):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
Did you give them that signal you were giving? Hey,
it worked.

Speaker 4 (01:13:37):
We got them good, We got them, scared them, scared
their pants off, and they forgot one rack lovers each
other like their lovers, and they're gonna die together.

Speaker 3 (01:13:48):
Grown shirtless man, We're gonna die together.

Speaker 2 (01:13:58):
You also forgot j T and the.

Speaker 8 (01:14:02):
That was going this is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (01:14:10):
So somebody has put on the text line with it
being April Fool's Day. Now everybody's talking about great pranks.
Uh Rick, please retell the prank that you pulled on
your entire town. Now, now let me take that and
let me let me cross reference that with this email
from Hey Birge, you pranked a lot of people. Listen

(01:14:31):
to this, Greg, This is going to put a coach.
She'll you probably will find this to be funny because
of the discomfort it's going to put me in. We're
having a missions conference at my church this weekend in
Calhoun County, Okay. Mac Brunson is coming to speak Saturday night.

(01:14:51):
That's my pastor. I was telling my girlfriend that that
was your pastor. She said, what if Rick comes with him?
I was like, that's not going to happen. She then responded,
you don't know, But I was like, but I do.
I don't miss a minute of five hours of the
show every day, so I know that you'll be in

(01:15:11):
Missouri but but that's not the point.

Speaker 2 (01:15:13):
There.

Speaker 1 (01:15:14):
He does know the show, so he knew what he
was talking about. The point is, my pastor is going
back to where I grew up, and it's going to
now be in my county, the county that knew me
before Redemption, the county that knew me before Jesus, the
people that I ran with.

Speaker 2 (01:15:32):
I can come up with stories. Are you rich, Pastor?
Let me tell you a story. I mean, here we
go and off and running we go. What what areas is?
I believe it's I believe it's a town okay, right
in the mintal right there, three miles north? So hey, Greg,

(01:15:55):
within the danger zone? Yeah, easily easily. Hey, y'all at
right now, home, people, y'all at right now.

Speaker 1 (01:16:03):
This guy's you're in for a treat. It's gonna be
an incredible weekend. He can unpack the word and he's, hey, y'all,
act right now. He don't need to hear. Let me
give Calhoun County this this weekend, a big op olympia
for the entire county. But no, what they were talking

(01:16:24):
about things like this, and Greg, you were aware of this.
It's when we took our whole town under immense fear,
and we weren't smart. It wasn't smart, it really wasn't.

Speaker 2 (01:16:37):
But we were dumb. We were young and stupid people.

Speaker 1 (01:16:40):
Of course Adam would have called us grown men, but
we still we were really, really dumb, and we gripped
our city in fear of devil worshipers that had taken
over the outskirts of the county. I think every town
does that out into the Valley of the Chief, all
mountain area and up on the mountain. So we if

(01:17:04):
those of you that have never heard the story, uh,
our our school colors were black and gold, and apparently
the choir choral teacher got in the budget new robes
and they went to gold, leaving the black.

Speaker 2 (01:17:18):
Ones not being used anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:17:21):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:17:22):
Through ways are not important. We ended up with some
of those robes, uh. And we we made hoods and
things off the extra fabric from some of the others.
So we had black robes, hoods, and we then a
hoodie kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (01:17:40):
Just like Devil Whisper's as we all know where. Yeah,
and so we would then.

Speaker 1 (01:17:47):
Appear out of the woods with various people who were
maybe out doing little necking, parking uh and and terrorizing
people terrorizing people, and Tara swept the whole town. And
what we would do is we would rotate to where

(01:18:08):
just when you thought it might be birds, then I
would be in the car and encountered them as well
with you, which would be another buddy of ours. And
they were about three or four of us that would rotate,
never more than two. Now I did also find out
eyewitnesses cannot be trusted. No, I knew what would happen.
They would be like two of us, And when you

(01:18:30):
got the school Monday, there were twenty of us. Yeah,
and they were everywhere, and they were coming out of
the woods. And I'm like, now I was there, that's
not true. I mean people exaggerated. But unfortunately it got
to kind of a fever pitch. I mean, I mean
we became the town that dreaded sundown. And it got

(01:18:52):
to a fever pitch to the point that now the
real men Adler, people older than eighteen, sure, they started
getting weapons and getting groups of trucks together that they
were going to go out and solve this terror once
and for all. And that's when we decided that chocolack
A Creek would be the place for the robes and

(01:19:13):
we would send them to the bottom and be done. Yeah,
so it got a little again. Never to speak to
it again again. But it was a glorious run. And
to hear legend of the to hear all the legend
and everything, and to watch people just in sheer terror.

Speaker 2 (01:19:29):
Yeah, uh, areas kind of blocked off.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
You ever seen a guy try to get from the
passenger seat back over in front of the wheel when
he sees it ever works.

Speaker 2 (01:19:39):
With a stick shift, with a stick shift, you're so
proud and see and and we would do that real
creepy thing where we would just move through.

Speaker 1 (01:19:48):
Yeah, and you know, you know there's a winding old
country roads that wind just move, and so we'd be
like on the creek bank and you'd come winding through it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):
Did we just go right across?

Speaker 1 (01:19:57):
It was Hey, when you were the person who was
now the decoy, it was terrifying. Yeah, you even knew
what was gonna happen to scare you to death.

Speaker 2 (01:20:05):
Just think about it. That visuals was with the decoy.

Speaker 10 (01:20:08):
But what was that?

Speaker 2 (01:20:09):
Uh no, no, the decoy. You should never speak. You
have to let others notice because they missed it. Well,
that was disappointing. That's what you declare it again? Can
we turn around?

Speaker 1 (01:20:23):
I think we miss something. I think, yeah, that was disappointing,
but it was. But that's that shouldn't be done, nor
should that be promoted.

Speaker 2 (01:20:31):
You that that was you hid.

Speaker 1 (01:20:35):
I want you to picture, because in those days not
everybody was armed. But but I want you to picture.
Even in our county young people normally weren't armed. They were,
but it was like in the gun rack behind and
they weren't ready four ten four ten.

Speaker 2 (01:20:47):
But picture.

Speaker 1 (01:20:48):
I mean you're out there and you think you're alone
at some little turnaround, and all of a sudden, all
of a sudden, you hear it on the window and
you look, we're standing there with those hoods right outside.

Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
And then we dashed back into the woods. Oh wow,
it was terrible. We did not ever get caught. We
did not know. Well, you really light up. You've pranked
a lot of folks I have.

Speaker 6 (01:21:07):
Did you cover your face?

Speaker 2 (01:21:08):
Like, well, the hoods came over, you couldn't see what
was under the hoop.

Speaker 3 (01:21:12):
Oh that is creepy, yeah, creep city.

Speaker 1 (01:21:14):
Right, and those choir robes so you remember it's dark,
so you don't no one could really see the details.
I remember one time Maya was cud a little short,
and I realized they might have saw my tennis shoes. Yeah,
yeah's got Ricked shoes on.

Speaker 3 (01:21:28):
They killed rick his shoes tailors.

Speaker 1 (01:21:36):
And then that you know, the thing that you really
want is when you get around the dinner table and
Mom was talking about it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:41):
Yeah, of course that happened with the food fight. I
mean you know that happened with the eatech cake.

Speaker 8 (01:21:45):
Easy.

Speaker 2 (01:21:46):
Well, I've done a lot of these kind of things. Yeah,
you have.

Speaker 1 (01:21:50):
Realized we hadn't even got to the like remember that
time you saw the pattern the thing that happened to
Dawson and Garnett. I'd already done that in eighty three. Yes,
with it with the guys from college. Really the formats
say it worked.

Speaker 2 (01:22:01):
You kind of was. You were the go to for
pranks when you ate take cake that time.

Speaker 1 (01:22:05):
You were telling me about it, and then Mom came
in and goes, you ain't gonna believe, and we were like,
she told what happened word for her, and.

Speaker 2 (01:22:11):
I said, don't imagine that that that's terrible. I don't
know who in the world would do that. And my
mind's going to your son. Then years later, when we
told her the truth. She goes, I'm so embarrassed. She
got mad.

Speaker 1 (01:22:23):
I told her, like when I was like thirty six
and got in trouble, I said, you can't get me
at thirty six for something that happened in eighty eighty one.
She said, well, now I'm embarrassed now. I said, no
one's gonna care now. And you think miss Jack's gonna
know what happened what you just said? I'm sorry, I
