Speaker 1 (00:18):
To follow us on social media for more from the
whole gang at the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
A brand new Rick Burgess Show is moving. Thank you
guys for being.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
With us today. Let's all get it done.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
We got the Vox seats today, people coming from all
over watching the show live. The only thing that can
be more daunting than listening to the program watching it
on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Is to actually be in the room the Vox seats
will do it. Here we go.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
That means there will be a Burgess Ball battle underway today,
as two listeners will offeredly play each other in Burgess Ball.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
The winner gets a shot at the wheel. We'll cover
the stories of the day, read your emails, try to
answer your questions, and get your phone calls in at
eight six six the numbers eight eight eight six, Big Vox.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Are you ready times the gang is all here. As
you heard Speedy Greg and Adler and I guess right
out of.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
The gate, we need to discuss So if we got
box seats coming today, which we do, we have had
some people who again have run into things where they
couldn't come, and you know, there's really there's really nothing
we can do about that.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
If we've tried.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Every way in the world, even on the years of
the Golden ticket seats back during the Rick and Bubby years,
when you provide something that is free and then all
you have to do is to reserve something, and then
there's an incredible demand for those few seats and so
people I guess when they become available, they just grab
them and then hope for the best. But life happens,

(02:43):
and we really don't know any other way to do
it than what.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
We're doing it.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
So well, I think we will have six of the
eight seats will be full. Well, always allow one group
overflow for people who have to cancel, but we don't
want people to come in here sick.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
So that's been the case. So those people did the
right thing.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
We have people sometimes that have work issues that go well,
I thought I could come now, I'm not off And
like I say, we only got one of them. We
got last night, so there's no way to fill those
seats now, So there's really we don't What I'm saying
is I don't want people to on some of these
days where we have box seats and you look and go, well,
my goodness, there's seats in there.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
I could have been in there.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Well, those seats were reserved, and a lot of times
they were canceled at the last minute.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
So we do the best we can.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
We even found out we had a cancelation today, put
the seats back out there.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
They filled and those people canceled. So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
There's only so much we can do because people's lives
a lot of times are very unpredictable. So when they
come available, grab them. If you here's I guess this
is what I would say. If you do grab them
and it starts looking like you can't come, the earlier
you could tell us that the better, and sometimes you
can't help it. So we understand that. I mean, we
had people last week that were literally in their hotel

(04:02):
ready to come and they got sick in the hotel.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Nothing to do about that.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
So so we will We'll have the folks that will
be here, uh, and we will have that battle. But
here's the question. So it was suggested by a hay bird,
hey bird, that even the loser, Oh yeah, that the
loser spends the will to see what they would have won.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, it's a cruel.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Do you give them the choice or are you just
tell them, look, the loser's going to spend it too,
or do you go would you like to see what
you might have wanted?

Speaker 2 (04:31):
I think for the benefit of the crowd.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
And I hate, I hate to sound like the Roman
Empire here, but for the for before the colosseum. The
people in the colosseum don'g gone it. They want to
hear it and see it. I think I think you're right.
I think they I think they want to see that
awkward moment and hear that awkward moment. So you want
to try that today, see how I think, see how.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
It feels it will be. I think.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
So we go look and now you got to side
where they go first or second, whatever, but we go,
look this nobody wins.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
But let's just see what you would have won if
you had won the child. By the way, I kind
of like it. Yeah, by the way.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
On that note, and uh, and Adam, I'm sorry, I
should have told you this ahead of time.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
It's in the store now if you want to look
real quick.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
The the emailer on hay Birds Hay Birds that suggested,
have you ever thought of Burgess Ball's shirt with that logo?
By the way, that person has already emailed saying I
cannot believe the.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Shirt's already there.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
It's already.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Let me tell you that shirt that with the folks
that fund the nations running the store, they make it
happen cool. So and we also have Cotton Eye Jo's
who do a great job of getting logo like they'll
send Adler logos and stuff and things themes of the
show without even being prompted, right.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
Yeah, they sent that Burgess Ball logo.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, yeah, that's so cool.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
And so I found that out yesterday when Tommy uncomfortably
let me know. I didn't know y'a were going to
do merch with it. But anyway, so, uh the how
about the But those shirts look really really good.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
There, I mean, they they pop, their their their their appening.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
They're fun. So that is a new item in the
store today. And of course the person who came up
with the idea said, well, I've already got too. There's
no way I can't have one now. So if you
want those, you can certainly grab those at the store.
So but we'll it's picking up momentum. We love this game.
It's fun and we keep adding to it. So today

(06:21):
we'll do that. We'll try that and see how that
feels to do. If you are wanting muscle marks Sensible Breakfast,
it is now under Rick's Picks at rick burgesshow dot com.
I shared yesterday with trainer Mike. I have not seen
trainer Sean yet. He it's spring break for his kids,

(06:41):
so they went on a trip or something. So I've
had trainer Mike both days and when he showed up
for workout yesterday and I said, by the way, I
have the Sensible breakfast. That's when I was texting you,
and he was like what I said, Oh, I have it.
And when I read it back to him, he had
such a straight face, a trainer Mike, and he looked
at me and he said, that is a sensible breakfast.

(07:03):
I said, yes, yes, it is.

Speaker 6 (07:05):
You know, some of the things that we put in
Rick's Picks are funny, uh and informative, you know, recipes
all that, but dealing with lensing and those folks at
high level marketing, who do I right, some of the
stuff I have to send them, They're like, wait a minute,
you want Mark's Sensible Breakfast, No muscle Mark, Muscle Mark

(07:26):
with a c oh okay, just I can't imagine what
they're as they're typing that in what they're thinking that
some people you never know.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, yeah, when you work.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
With this bunch and the things that we were quest
of people, I mean, it's real serious. No, I need
muscle Marks. I need I need muscle Mark. I laid
that as soon as you can get that up, that'd
be great. And I think that I never could figure
out because we want to get Gary's fried pies on
Rick's Picks too, But.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
I couldn't figure out how Gary was telling us to
get that. Did he might follow is actually going turkey
hunting with him? Same thing.

Speaker 6 (08:02):
Someone sent us a timeline. They went to the video
and they sent us a timeline of what he was
saying and how to do it. Had good luck, I mean,
but they did a great job of like literally writing
out the video because you know, he didn't have anything
down in writing. He's like, hey, there's the video, go
watch it. No, we need to actually a recipe about

(08:24):
got a video?

Speaker 2 (08:25):
I got it.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
This is were there's mama's or his mama's I can't remember.
They're good, they're fantastic, but but I mean the journey
you have to go on. Like you said, Gregor's like
trying to get his call. Guys, what about when we
found out that Gary and he's gotten it back? Speedy
or listener, whoever did that. I know y'all helped him
get the domain back. He lost his domain. Remember, we

(08:47):
kept telling him where to get it, and when he
and people were like, well what you're telling us didn't
even come up.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
He lost that.

Speaker 6 (08:52):
So Rick, this here is this here, just please look
at this. Take my laptop over Gary's voice.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
All right. That is a second by set in detail
of his video. All right, here's what Gary said. Okay,
they broke it down. All right.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
This is my famous apple pieles that I got from
my grandma. Okay, my my grant, my grand my aunt,
my grandma great aunt and her. First off, you can start, well,
I'm getting ahead of myself. They're they're just dried apple
pie rings. Give me three give give you maybe three
cups of water. Just dump the whole thing in there

(09:29):
and then then let it simmer and then boil it
down a little bit.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Then you take about so this is this is this
is it? This is it? Yeah? Who can follow this?
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Then you take about maybe a half tas spoon ground cinnamon.
I don't like to use a lot of cinnamon because
it takes away from the apples.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
All right. Next he takes you vegetable.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Then he's put in the pan and uh and uh,
this is a big block of butter, which is butter.
It's good for you. This is this is that salted
butter which they make him unsalted. But I don't know,
but I take and I put, you know, block off
that just ever so a little bit offer over there
and then kind of like that. And then one more won't.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Work, but that's it. Gosh that down.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
You put it in the oven and work you butter,
and you ically mix it up together. One more thing
you got to take out about a cup of sugar
and put that in your in your apples. And now
who can follow that? Guse I'd be here the rest
of the show if I read everybody. No one can
follow that.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
So I'll send it to the folks get it on
the website.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
I don't know that we're ever gonna get that recipe.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Do y'all think we're there weirdest website, No doubt?

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Oh yeah, probably, no doubt.

Speaker 7 (10:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
The fact that we're telling them to watch a YouTube
channel with Gary and be sure and get muscle mark
sensible breakfast.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
That alone, We'll be right back these protein balls.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, this is the Rick Burgess Show, talk a little
march madness. I did did not see any of this yesterday.
I know there were four games yesterday, eight teams of
the Sweet sixteen. Four more games today, right all that? Yeah,

(11:14):
So looking looking at how it all came out last night,
Florida you move on, yep. Wow, So eighty seven seventy
one over Maryland Duke. You move forward one hundred to
ninety three over Arizona Texas Tech. Wow ot, but Texas
Tech moves forward. Arkansas's run ends to lose by two

(11:38):

then Alabama dominates by U Yes, one thirteen to eighty eight.

Speaker 2 (11:49):

record history. Wow, and attempted fifty one wow, which is
another record.

Speaker 5 (12:07):
It was mean, It was almost mean.

Speaker 6 (12:09):
It really was. At one point you kind of felt
sorry for BYU. They couldn't miss. And now the showdown
Alabama and Duke face each other in the Elite eight. Hey,
and everybody's been talking about it. That happens than Florida
Florida Tech or Texas Tech. They've punched their ticket to
the Elite eight. Now the others played to get ready.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
Oh, did y'all watch Obama game last night?

No? I did.

Speaker 6 (12:31):
I watched a little bit of it was on I'll

Speaker 3 (12:33):
Did you see that nosebleed?

Speaker 8 (12:36):

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah, yeah I did. I did. When he got elbows?

Speaker 6 (12:38):
Oh my goodness, play that got elbow?

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah? Yeah? What's his name?

Speaker 5 (12:42):
Young Blood? Right on Bama?

Speaker 3 (12:44):
Yeah yeah, young Blood?

Speaker 5 (12:46):
Drew Blood?

Speaker 2 (12:46):
No wa, yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
If I'm remembering that correctly. And what was so shocking
is that they like zoomed the dude's noses bleeding on
the court.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
They zoomed in on it for so long.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
I was just like, my goodness, is this UFC or basketball?

Speaker 2 (13:00):
And they just let it bleed all over the court.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
I mean, he was it was bad. But the honky
with the mustache Nelson for Bama.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Did you just call him the honky with the mustache?

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Another huge slam. They kept showing that over and over,
and that was probably, I mean, that was that was insane.

Speaker 6 (13:18):
Whether the past to him, they were breaking the past
to them. He didn't break stride and it was it
was one of those smooth he just glides through.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
The air and boom.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Hey, I know, seriously, I know I had all these
jokes earlier in the season. Have you all noticed I
don't joke around when the seasons on the line.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
I really have noticed that. No, I really have not noticed.

Speaker 5 (13:40):
That serious at all.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Joke around in the seasons.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
I really don't.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
I really don't, because because it's all fun and games
during the regular season. Honestly, we can talk smack, but
really that's when feelings really get hurt is when the
seasons on the line. I really seriously don't joke around.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
This feels new to me. I don't know anything about you.
Have not always been this time.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
I've always always done.

Speaker 5 (14:05):
Props to Nate Oates.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
His team look prepared, they look ready and they dominated
last night? Is trying to put how I'm a good person,
that's all what this is all about.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Who got to you?

Speaker 5 (14:16):
No, No, seriously, I really do. I really don't joke around.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Once it's well, you.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Kept saying Alburn's gonna win at all you went.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
I would gloat about Auburn beating Alabama in the regular season.
I would not gloat about like Alabama season being over
right now.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
Seriously, there's a line, there is a lie.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Oh here's the bigger question. Will you gloat if Auburn?
Would you gloat if Auburn were to beat Alabama now
and end their season?

Speaker 5 (14:38):
I would not.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
I would not.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
I don't believe that.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
I would you.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
I really do, And I know you're an honest man,
and I think right now you mean that, but I
don't think that's true.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
I watched the entire Alabama game and wasn't like, oh,
darn you know those Mormons aren't beating them. You know
I never said that, did you do that?

Speaker 1 (14:55):
Two things I've heard from you right now, which is
a new hanging around Greg would do this. You without
even hesitating, said the honky with the mustache. Yeah, and
now and now you're throwing the Mormon thing in there,
and he students so casually. Do you think they wear
them weird underwear in the uniform?

Speaker 5 (15:09):
Here we go, I'm wondering about that.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
You know what I'm saying. What is this Mormon underwear thing?

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Y'all? They cut to the head coach after they really
needed a three.

Speaker 5 (15:22):
B Yu gets a three as they.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
Were kind of bringing it back to maybe nine points,
and then the BYU player talks some smack to an
Alabama player as he was running it back to the
other side of the court. So they called a fowl
or whatever something on him, and so Alabama got a
foul shot free. You you see what I'm saying I'm doing.
She clears myny but in that moment, they then cut
to the BYU coach. And most coaches, you can read

(15:47):
their lips when they're speaking, right, most coaches are you
don't want to read their lips correct. This BYU coach
was like, Hey, that's a bunch of malarkey. It was hilarious.
He was like, that's oh crap, I'm not joking.

Speaker 6 (16:04):
Felt so sorry because Alabama couldn't miss, and then Rick
would be by you would pull up and throw a three.
Sometimes it was an air ball, and sometimes it would
look like we're shooting over here.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Hey, a couple of times they were getting inside. It's
just like and they had the layup or whatever. It
was just not landing. My goodness, and the BYU coach
was like, hey, guys, I'm sick of this mumbo jumbo.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
All right, So Florida, d Texas, Tech, and Bama all
move on to the elite eight yep and four more.
We'll try to make their way there tonight.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (16:39):
I got Ole Miss Michigan State, Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan, Auburn,
and Purdue and Houston.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Those are the ones that play today. All right, we'll
be back.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
More of the Rick Burgess Show coming up right after this.

Speaker 9 (16:54):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Covering a lot of things today.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
I do want to come back because we ran them
against the hard break and a lot of you on
the text line apparently have worked in the snack business.
So you understand this recall, Uh correctly, you all are correct,
is what's happened. So let me clarify again. Freed O
lay recalling hundreds of chip products. I love this text Speedy,
you don't have a milk allergy. Apparently you're going to

(17:24):
get some great deals on the party size tostitos.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Go out and get some.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Of those recall bags and get a deal, because it
does have to do with milk allergy and those of
you that apparently have worked for snack food companies. And
I'll leave it at that, including this one. What's happened
here is exactly what you're saying, cross contamination. Over here,
you got the corn chips and this is the party
size bag. Just your straight up tostedos. That's my you know,

(17:54):
I'm a plain guy. I just like the plane old
tortilla chip. I don't like all the flavored ones. Uh
corn chip done.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
So anyway, the tostidos, the plain should just have salt
on it. It should not have the cheese they use
for the nacho flavors. Well, some of the nacho dust
has got over on the shouldn't have nacho dust chips.
So they're saying that you could be thinking you're eating

(18:22):
a corn chip that has no milk on it at all,
but it does cross It got cross contaminated in the process.
If you don't have a milk allergy, you're fine, but
if you've got a serious milk allergy. Look for tostitos
Cantina traditional yellow corn tortilla chips. Some of these bags

(18:44):
have been cross contaminated with the milk that's usually used
for the nachio cheese flavor.

Speaker 6 (18:51):
And so what is in the bag versus what's on
the ingredients list?

Speaker 9 (18:55):
Correct?

Speaker 6 (18:55):
That the on the ingredients list is not saying the milk.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
That is correct. And it's not a finger. Yeah, it's
not a finger. That was that?

Speaker 1 (19:03):
That just reminded me of the finger canned thing last
hour se what they say. So if you see the
Cantina yellow corn chip tostito party size that that is
it's got guaranteed fresh date of May twenty five. It
may have milk on it, and as Speedy correctly pointed out,
it will not show that on the ingredient Right.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
That's our anniversary, Terry Ny anniversary anniversary, remember it. So
there you go.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
You guys like the yellow corn white like, I like
all of them, like the blue, like the blue.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
I like the blue. I like the yellow.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
I don't really like the colored ones to me, the stranger.
To me, the stranger the chip gets the good the
less I like it.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
They're good like they're any different than the others.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
It tastes, it tastes different. They taste blue.

Speaker 5 (19:48):
It's sad.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
I got the blues.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
I never Yeah, I've had the blue one. I've had
the yellow one. I've had the white one. They all
pretty much guess.

Speaker 5 (19:55):
A good old corn chip, just frido lay sku. Oh yeah,
put that in any thing.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Well, you know what they're good with, the regular of
the old French onion dip.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Yes, that's a good little bit falsa, guawk and cheese.
Do it, put in a microwave.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
But if somebody's got Hamburger dip and you don't have
the scoop because sometimes the other chips are so, then
they'll break off in Hamburger. Well, I like the little
perfect heart.

Speaker 6 (20:21):
It does because because you you've already envisioned, like, okay,
this is what it's gonna look like when it goes
in my mouth.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yeah, it breaks off right if you just joined if
you just joined us, if you just joined us, horrible,
didn't it sounded different than I know?

Speaker 1 (20:37):
To self move hooters update Okay, all right up now,
right now, had that one ready?

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Now one movie?

Speaker 6 (20:51):
Okay, they're actually stopping doing stuff.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
No, I know the rebrandino bikini. No, it was a
idea for your family.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
By the way, well let's do it now, all right,
as we all know, and I would let's put that up.
I wanted to distance it a little bit from this
conversation after the way it's gone. But this ongoing the
rebranding of Hooters is an interesting thing to watch. I
never knew this was even their original intent. Uh so,
as you know, these these restaurants are in a lot

(21:25):
of trouble. They're trying to avoid bankruptcy, which I thought
I'd never live in a time that Hooters wouldn't be.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Able to make it.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Okay, But but what about so they says they're going
to toss one of their most famous traditions, which I'm
not familiar with this, I don't frequent Hooters, or I
haven't in a long, long, long time. But anyway, their
most famous one of their most famous tradition traditions which
I didn't know about, in an attempt to avoid bankruptcy,
and Speedy tried to say it, couldn't quite get it out,

(21:54):
the iconic bikini knights, bikini knights and bikinis. Anyway, Greg, No,
apparently they would go even further, I didn't know that
those are in shorts.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Apparently we're not skimpy enough. So we went to bikini night. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
But anyway, the chief executive officer, Neil Keefer no ken
to Tom Keefer, he said, he said, well, they're calling
it a re hooterization.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Wow, to really slow down on that one.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Listen to this, No, no, listen to this is the
part I never knew. The founders believed that the chain
had been pulled away from its roots. Its roots now
as a family friendly Adam, that's your area, beachy destination,
offering good food and good service. When was it ever that?

(22:46):
When was it ever.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
That it was bought the owl thing? That's not what
you meant.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Its reputation was only further solidified after a twenty twenty
one waitress uniform change was oh COVID that was paired
closer to underwear than the retro jogging shorts from the
original Hooters, along with theme nights who were servers just
wore bikinis. So apparently the orange shorts the original arn

(23:14):
shorts were not as skimpy as they got, and they
said this started our moving away from family friendly. When
was it ever did have a different name. I mean,
where the shirts different, where the waitresses different? Yeah, but
I don't remember any Yeah, I don't so good.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
What is that?

Speaker 5 (23:36):
The ali not the story?

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Not the story.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
This is why I wanted to move it. This is
what I wanted to mark.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
But anyway, break but it's now there. They are three
hundred million dollars in debt. Remember at one time when
they went trashy, trashy wasn't as controversial. And then the
me too movement started. Men started saying that they should
be able to work. Remember men wearing the shorts and
all that sfliness.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Speedy love.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
And it got down to where Greg Gregan something that
I think you pointed out, Hooters felt pressure to also
hire ugly waitresses. And then and then it just kind
of got out of and then Greg, then it just
became a dirty place with ugly people.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yeah, and the wings aren't they good? Are they not?
Back during the time, you know that, Greg, way back
way back, way, way way way.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
Back in the dark years, when I would have frequent
one of those. If I had to right now tell
you what any of their food tastes like, I would
I would have had no idea if I was in
there if you want to grab that handle back there. Yeah, no, sure,
sure I could tell you all about that. But anyway,
so apparently Hooters may not be over, but they're gonna
see if they can't go back, which this statement I'm

(24:46):
not aware of. Maybe I'm just not old enough to
their original, their original family friendly okay, beachey with good food?
Does anybody remember that? I mean that's and I did
not know about bikini Night. I had no idea.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
It's hard to say something it is.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
But the Twin Peaks is not talking about the mountains.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Here are the old I'm gonna be prepared to tell
you that.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
Yes, here are the old shorts. So they have changed
quite a bit, you know, like.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Basketball shorts there.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
So do y'all think and look, I don't I don't
like the trashy side or any of that. But do
you think they're now so confused on what they are
that it's just it won't be anything.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Now, you know?

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Can you can you clean that up enough that it
will become family friendly? And then as you cleaned up
too much, the people who love the trash and now
they're gone, could you could you end up with no
audience whatsoever?

Speaker 5 (25:38):
The name hurts it a little bit.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
It does, it does. Yeah, I'm with you.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
You remember we did all those stories when you had
those you had those weird little league coaches that said
they didn't understand why people were mad about them taking
the team there, right, okay.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
Especially if the kids didn't win, you know, oh yeah,
all right, especially if they won't.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
It's okay, we'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
This is the Rick Burgess Show, Bangkok. Wow, what an earthquake?
So haven't seen this footage? Adler and Speedy we're telling
us about it.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah, it's just crazy.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
We try to get Greg to care more about it.
You know, it doesn't really matter, Greg, if the earthquake
is anywhere near you, it still is. It's it's a
bad thing. Yeah, and so we we no Greg, what
you're saying is true. It would be different if you
knew somebody in Bangkok or something. There's no doubt about that.

(26:46):
But it's not tragic, it.

Speaker 6 (26:47):
Is, right, seven point seven magnitude.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
That's a big and that's your big boy. Do I
need audio here?

Speaker 3 (26:53):
I've got some audio, okay, and we're going to start
up on a rooftop. You know in Bangkok they've got
those those rooftop pools. Yeah, they've got these high rise
hotels with pools at the top. And so you're you're
thirty forty stories up in the air and then the
water starts shaking like a like a kid playing in

(27:15):
the bathtup to make waves, but you're it's because the
building is shaking.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
That I would be.

Speaker 6 (27:22):
The way I know he's acting like he cares.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Okay, now you've seen that, now that I know it's
about kid, Yeah, think about that.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
So think about that, you hold one of your grandkids.

Speaker 5 (27:33):
Yes, and you're not going to.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Be Bangkok, but you're right, so you can't get there.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
You go, there's another view of just the water is
just slashing everywhere.

Speaker 6 (27:40):
Somebody's in there in their nice place.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
That is a nice setup right there.

Speaker 5 (27:45):
So sweet, But wow, are they still in the pool?

Speaker 2 (27:48):
I mean, what do you do? Well? You didn't get
away to the bar, you didn't get a wave food.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
No, it's your charge, that would be if that's happening.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Is it possible the buildings about to come? Yeah, that's
what I was wondering.

Speaker 5 (27:59):
Here's the water just flowing down.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
You can see. I mean, it's and it looks like
they may even be trying to drain it so that
to get some weight lower in the you know, the
center of gravity.

Speaker 6 (28:10):
That's coming right on the bottom right, and the building
you're in is shaking so bad the pull water is
going over the side.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
You're in a handle.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
This is this is actually horrible what I'm about to
show you. This is a thirty score the thirty story
building that is under construction. Forty forty three construction workers
are currently missing because what it goes to the ground. Oh,
this goes to the ground.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
So the earthquake takes it down.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Oh my, oh no, this segment just changed that look
that looks like I'm sorry, it's even Yeah, that's awful.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Yeah that.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
There there's a view from actually in the construction yard
that I had.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Guys, it was a building those you can't say that's
and it just came just like same thing. So they
were people actually working that day, I guess.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Yeah, forty three construction workers missing. Man, it is just uh,
it is insane speed. You said it was a seven
point seven. Okay, here's that that angle of the actual
So you're in the construction yard and everything is shaken,
going nuts, and here it comes the building down. I mean,
they're right there, they're at the base. Wow, they're gonna

(29:24):
have to run from the dust cloud, just like people
did in uh on nine eleven.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
I think the one kind needs to get off the phone.

Speaker 5 (29:31):
I know, I can't believe he got the shot that
he got.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
The dust cloud is still coming at them as they're
running away. But that's a forty story building coming down,
So it makes sense.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
For those of you couldn't see it.

Speaker 6 (29:42):
What Adler is describing is that they are running down
the street and the and the dust cloud is chasing them.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yeah, just like nine eleven.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Here's the aftermath of that particular incident.

Speaker 5 (29:53):
And it's just that building.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
That building just came down like you were. I mean,
it's it's nothing but a Pilo rubble house of cards stuff,
that's all it is.

Speaker 9 (30:03):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
See that would have been I know that the trainish building.
I know, finished building versus building under construction.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
I know that's different.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
But if I was up there and that that pool
was doing that, see, my concern would be the building
I'm in right now is about to do that.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Here's a crane about, here's a crane coming down again.
Water from these rooftop pools flying everywhere there goes.

Speaker 6 (30:25):
That.

Speaker 5 (30:26):
I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Wow, so that was just a crane on another building
that was just doing some work.

Speaker 5 (30:35):
Shaking.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Yeah, those buildings are really shaking. That's the good grief.
Look at these street lights, guys, we're seeing.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
If you have not seen some of this footage, you
need to go find it today.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
And this was I guess overnight would have been for
us and yesterday for them.

Speaker 10 (30:50):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Water?

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Guys, when you're talking about the earth is moving? No,
that is a helpless fit. What was the other the
other shot of that building again, I guess.

Speaker 6 (30:59):
Yeah, but it's said midday on Friday, so they're ahead
of us on everything.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
But yeah, wow, my.

Speaker 6 (31:08):
Goodness, that's that's substantial, right, A lot of a lot
of a lot of damage here. I'm sitting here reading
some of the stuff. So well, I mean seven point
seven did y'all say seven point seven magnitude?

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (31:20):
Wow? And this there's a six point four magnitude aftershock.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
It's just shaken. Just that. This is that almost it
looks like there's pieces of it missing. That that building.
I've seen that a bunch of times before, but it
is just shaken, just like you're like a blade of
grass in the wind.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
That that's bad feeling, right there, folks. Now that particular
building is built that way though, right, it's a sign. Yeah,
but it doesn't matter when you're in a building like
that and it's shaking. I've never experienced that before, and
I don't want.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
To an earthquake.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
I know people that have been to places when earthquakes hit,
like in California and things like that. Not a pleasant
feeling you feel pretty helps, thankfully, I've never experienced it,
but it.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Greg, this is your former world.

Speaker 6 (32:05):
Red Cross is trying to help, and they're saying down
power lines are everywhere.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Which is adding to the challenges of even.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Well you saw those straight lights. Can you imagine that
all the different poles and stuff. And I don't know
how how they have the the setup for that in Bangkok,
but I'm sure it's similar.

Speaker 5 (32:21):
Nine million people live in Bangkok.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Yeah, that's a that's a that's an active place. A
lot going on there, uh and so so there it is.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Have y'all ever been to any like Indo or Asian
even Asian countries at all.

Speaker 5 (32:37):
I've never been to.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
I've been to a lot of you know, Scotland, Ireland,
all that, Germany, but never an Asian country.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Uh, you're talking about like, you don't mean the whole
continent of Asia. You don't mean anything that would be
in Asia. You're talking more.

Speaker 5 (32:52):
Yeah, like China, Japan, anything like that.

Speaker 9 (32:55):
Now, this is the Rick Burgess Show, A.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
Couple of things to hit. I don't I don't like
the idea of this at all. When someone is tampering
with something good. And I don't think you're you know,
the Eagles fans out of Philadelphia, they're they're not They're
not a passive bunch. No, they are not a passive bunch, Greg,
are you okay, Speedy Adler? The beloved Eagles tradition let

(33:26):
go after twenty eight seasons. We speak, of course, of
the iconic Eagles. Pep band a little pet band. You
have a little pet band that had it? Yeah, the Eagles,
and they won't they won't get it.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
I don't. Look, you just won the Super Bowl. What's
negative about the pep buck?

Speaker 10 (33:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (33:43):
And the pep band's got the pep band has given
you two super Bowl wins in very recent years.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
What are they hurting? It says that the Eagles reportedly says.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
All they're going to say is that in the twenty
twenty five season, the Pep Band will not be included,
that's all. And they said that they they are taking
their own field entertainment. It is evolving and they won't
go into details about specific plans. But Pep Band out.
You think they were BIPs? Yeah, impossible or something.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Do you think for somebody that were annoying were gonna
get rid of the Pep Band?

Speaker 1 (34:16):
You think if you went to the front office, is
there somebody says I'm done with the pet Band.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
I don't know the story the pet Band game in
I got five messages from the Pep Band drinking about
tickets and now now somebody's uncle wants to come.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
Who's uncle the Pep Band?

Speaker 9 (34:30):
God?

Speaker 1 (34:31):
So let me ask you this. So you said twenty
eight years, twenty eight years. Obviously we've had different members
of the Pep Band.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
You would think you okay.

Speaker 6 (34:39):
It just seems like if it's just for four dudes,
I mean, what they what are they hurting they're.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Getting rid of them?

Speaker 6 (34:45):
What?

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Did they have a special area they stayed in during
the game? What I mean?

Speaker 1 (34:49):
I guess they're in the in the crowd. And I
guess the Eagles must have been involved in some way.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
Because I said, word using this there for something different,
right right? Okay?

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Because you can you could just could he brings I
don't know if they let you bring instruments into the stadium.
I guess that's why. I guess that's why. Of the Eagles,
they were some sort of sanctioned Eagles thing. But the
Pep Band will not be uh this in this season.
I'm telling you, these people got greg.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
We know this. Look at what look at the world
we live in.

Speaker 6 (35:16):
You know.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
Well, there's a reason the word bip is around. Yes,
And I'll be honest, I'm looking at that guy.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
He's kind of a bit.

Speaker 10 (35:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
I think these guys probably may be. They may be
difficult to deal with. They're a little bigger deal.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Said.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
You know, somebody said, let me tell you something. I'm
done with the pet Band this year. We've ha him
twenty eight years. I'm done with the Pet Band. Yeah,
I'm okay, put over this. I've got a ticket request
for the Pep Bands family for the last time.

Speaker 6 (35:40):
I know what is they give that facial expression while
they're singing.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
That's what bothers you. They're very animated. They are.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Ban uh at a little quick quick suggestion from from
from hay Bird. I got this on the on the
text line a lot and and now I'm getting it

(36:07):
in the Hayburd Hayburd emails. Uh did we get two
things on on the on the vox verdict Adler, you're
you're judge.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Now what is your official name now, judge.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
Judge Justice Eagle or Eagle Justice, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
Judge Judy Justice. It was something good. It was kind
of cool.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
It's judge Judy.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
It wasn't that it was Justice.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
Eagle Justice or Justice Eagan.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Justice Adler Eagle. I can't we need it.

Speaker 6 (36:36):
We need to dial that in.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
But anyway, but yeah, I agree with the texture. I
think the pat band became devas. But but this is
this is the other that I got a lot of
and they were people putting this up and this is
something to consider we the jury. This is a thought
sent to us Jeremy out of Pennsylvania, just a thought
here and I and I've gotten this from more than
one person. Uh, the big Vox verdict. When you guys

(37:00):
make your decisions. As far as the jury shouldn't that
be done in secret so as not to influence the
other jurors. You just kind of write it down and
then everybody, uh get and you turn them into the judge,
and then the judge reads them.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
You know it's not or you could do like one, two,
three thumbs up or thumbs down.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
You have to have to throw now sometimes we have
like four options.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Well, remember what do you think about us writing down
and then turn them into you and you and you read.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
I don't think you know, just a simple I think
a paragraph. Well, I mean you get we have to
explain our pick normally. Well, that's true. I think you guys,
I've already got school work now.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
No to this, y'all are strong people, and I think
you're influencing each other. You've got to stick to your
no matter what, you stick to your your guns.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
What about it? What you no need to be sing?
What if we promise not to be influenced?

Speaker 6 (37:49):
Yeah, we in our in our text group, we could
always text you the answer and then you represent the
jury and then you.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
Give h I'm like, I think I think part of
the part of our decision across and Greg. Greg walked
this out.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
I agree with you.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
I think part of the entertainment is us giving you
let me give a secret note and then you'll read.

Speaker 6 (38:11):
But that's what the jury does and they.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
That's but that's what the guy was saying.

Speaker 5 (38:16):
It's real, Greg, No, it's real.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
I think we're landing on the jury.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
We're just almost like arguing whatever side we're on, we're
like their defense.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
Or counterclaim, good counter claim.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
Don't you think that? I think part of people on
the on the entertaining side, I want to know how
y'all came to this conclusion and we and we will
always walk out while we did that. I think I
think we I think that's a fine suggestion, but I
think we will reject that suggestion. Here's here's what I owe, right, Okay,
that's what I think to the to the entire crew,

(38:46):
this is this is Adam Hey bird Burge. Where you
guys on cover songs. I know, I know for most
no cover is as good, are better than the original.
But i'd like to hear what you think. Here's a
list that I provide. I would love to hear Adler
chiming on this as well. The rest of the team.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Uh. And he's asking the question is are any of
these better than the original? I got one right off
the top of my head.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
That is okay, van Halen and the Kinks, you.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
Really really got me. Ben Halen's version is better.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
I would also say that I like van Halen's Dancing
in the Streets better, but I don't like either one
of them.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
But I hated both of those. Here's some of his exam.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Would you say that Metallica did turn the page better
than Bob Seeker?

Speaker 2 (39:33):
No way did it. It's not a.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
Baddler, it's good.

Speaker 5 (39:37):
I like Seekers version.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
Yeah, no, Adler. Help us with this? Who is this band?

Speaker 3 (39:41):
The ataris the Ataris Boys or something better than Don Henley.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
It's not a bad song, but it's not better than
Don Henley.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
When I was a kid, I probably would have said
the Atari's like when that song came out.

Speaker 5 (39:55):
But now I go to the old version.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Weezer Africa No Total Total now here.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
Here's one where I think we may disturbed Sound of
Solids by Simon and I.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Like it better. That is really good. Good, I like
it better.

Speaker 5 (40:11):
It is better.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
It is disturbed.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
Guy, I know not either. That's surprising, not not either,
but but but.

Speaker 6 (40:18):
It's yeah, wait, Greg just texted me nothing compares to you,
Sinead O'Connor.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
Did it better than print?

Speaker 3 (40:24):
That's a good one, Greg, You like that? You thought
she was so fine too?

Speaker 8 (40:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (40:29):
Q ball, Greg, This one's you because this is your
band in your area, mainly mainly your son's band, Shine Down?

Speaker 2 (40:35):
Simple?

Speaker 11 (40:36):
Man?

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Are they do? Did they do it better than Skinner? Better?
They do a good version of it, but it's not
better than Skinner?

Speaker 1 (40:41):
No, back to back to Adler, five Finger Death punch,
bad company by bad Company.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
They do a good one. It's good, but no talking
to Adler. Okay, Well.

Speaker 6 (40:51):
Greg knows about five Finger down concert. There's another one
from Greg. I will always love you. Whitney Houston. Did
it better than Dolly? No?

Speaker 3 (41:00):
No, no, let's do it in my car two weeks
ago and I said I love you? Did you?

Speaker 6 (41:10):
Did you?

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Did you cry?

Speaker 1 (41:11):
When when you wish somebody nothing but happenings to be
nothing but the best.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
Top of the hour.

Speaker 9 (41:22):

Speaker 1 (41:45):
Uh, here is Trump, and he is doubling down. We'll
start with two. A. There, mister Adler, there will be
twenty five percent tariff on all cars not made in
the USA. Here is President Trump.

Speaker 12 (42:00):
This is very modest, and what we're going to be
doing is a twenty five percent tariff on all cars
that are not made in the United States. If they're
made in the United States. Is absolutely not terrorf We
start off with a two and a hared percent base,
which is what we were at, and we go to
twenty five percent. And basically, as you know, and as

(42:20):
you've been seeing not reporting as accurately as it should
be reported, because it's a massive story, business is coming
back to the United States so that they don't have
to pay tariffs.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
And I think, yeah, and that's good, and there you go.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
Trump also is doubling down. A to B mister Adler.
If you get along to buy car made in the USA,
you can deduct interest payments from your income tax.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
Really. Oh yeah, So here we go.

Speaker 12 (42:46):
I have a lot of people making a lot of cars.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
And one other thing we are trying.

Speaker 12 (42:51):
We have the Speaker of the House with us, who's
doing a fantastic job and where's Mike. We're trying to
get approved. Mike, thank you very much. We're trying to
get approved if we can. If you borrow money to
buy a car, you're allowed to deduct interest payments for
purposes of income text. But only if the cars made

(43:13):
in America. So if the cars made in America, you
get a loan, you can deduct the interest. That's a
big saving a lot of people in that part of
the world in terms of buying cars. A lot of
them don't think in terms of deductions. People that think
in terms of deductions are very wealthy people. But people
are going to start understanding what a good deduction is

(43:34):
all about.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
So nice, I saw you wake up a little bit
on that one, Gregory. I like that you woke up
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
I like it. Here we go. Here's a lot of
interest on vehicles where we all have.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
A retired auto worker twenty five year UAW member speaks
out on Trump's upcoming twenty five percent tariffs on cars
made outside the United States.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
This is courtesy of Fox News.

Speaker 13 (44:00):
There's a lot of capacity, there's a lot of underutilized
plant space, floor space. They can move product back into
existing plants. They can expand and add on to existing plants.
There's a lot of people that are on layoff or
working a bare minimum forty hours. We want a rock
and roll and work six and seven days a week.

(44:21):
That's where the money's at for the workers. And the
people in Macomb County in the Detroit area want work,
we want overtime, we want jobs, we want.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
New facilities, So we welcome this.

Speaker 13 (44:33):
Tariffs are going to be an excellent thing for the
auto industry here in the United States.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
Interesting here, we have a bit of a leftist wandery
here because the left has always said the unions belong
to them. Yep, and how dare you not vote Democrat?
But the Democratic Party has never given the auto workers
in America tariffs to this level and other things like

(45:02):
this proposal on interest rates. This is going to help
the United States auto worker and of course all the
American brands.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
It's good for the autoworker.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
But the Democrats always claim the autoworker belongs to them.
Not so much anymore. Why did the Democrats never bring
this to the table for the auto worker And that's
a legitimate question I think they're asking now.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
Yeah, and Trump mentioned all the investments that are coming
to the United States because of these tariffs.

Speaker 5 (45:35):
And here's a little list here.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
Hun Dai has twenty billion UAE one point four trillion,
Saudi Arabia six hundred billion, Apple, Soft Bank, Navidia, Johnson
and Johnson, merk Ge Aerospace, all of them at least
contributing a billion dollars. You add all these companies up,
and it's three trillion in new direct investment into America
just in the first few weeks of the Trump administration.

Speaker 9 (45:59):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Why because, as we kept saying back when our approach
at one time was to whine and complain about companies
leaving our country, to demonize them, to point to them,
while at the same time making it virtually impossible for
them to turn a profit in our own country.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
So here's another example.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
If you actually create an environment where investment in America
is a good thing, companies will return. If you make
it difficult and things look more lucrative somewhere else, they'll leave.
You need to create an environment where business can be
done and profit can be made, not say you need
to stay in America just calls. No matter how many

(46:43):
time we demonize you over tax you hit you with
all kinds of this, and that we can create any environment,
but you've got to stay here, and if you don't,
then you're bad. No create the environment. They'll come back
will and you see this, and so we'll see how
it works long term. But it's creating some interesting scenarios.

(47:05):
And when you look at tariffs, like we've said a
thousand times here, you got to look at all sides
of it, including some of these positive things that you're
seeing right now, and then you hope that it's so
positive that those that are having to pay the tariff
that they'll get in line, and then before you know it,
they start treating us better, and then everything kind of

(47:28):
you've got a bargaining chips which you've got. That's basically yeah,
and that's what it is.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
So there you go. We'll be back. Interesting update yep,
when we return.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
It has not been done in a while at this
point of the show, but we're gonna try it.

Speaker 2 (47:48):
That's phone calls what now.

Speaker 4 (47:50):
I know.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
Normally we wait to the very end. Today we'll try it.
See if you can bring something to the table. Remember,
everything rises and falls by what do you bring.

Speaker 9 (48:00):
This is the Rick Burgess show.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
Speedy, I know if it's a weekend during this time
of year, you probably have college baseball. And apparently the
audience has just completely lost their minds over your trip
to Cleveland, Mississippi, the home of the Delta State the
Fighting Okra, Yes, right, yes, Like I say, when did

(48:31):
I have I ever mentioned?

Speaker 2 (48:31):
I don't know if I've ever mentioned I played a
little ball.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
Yeah, so I played in that and the Golf South
Conference when all of these Division two schools were all
there together, and Delta State obviously was one of those
schools in the original and well in the Golf South
Conference during the time that I played and dad coached
the Statesman and they were called the Statesman. I can
still remember the very big face. Why did they move

(48:57):
away from the Statesman? There was something controversial about states
There's still the States is the Fighting Okrah? Like an
extra throw and we've had this discussion before, can't remember.
There's still the Statesman with the Fighting opera.

Speaker 3 (49:10):
But anyway, here here's the ocre standing next to the
Statement stations.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
Okay, so they're both Yes, there's a big the big face.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
Yeah, all right, So the Oprah is kind of like
Auburn with their war with their Tiger and war Eagle. Yeah,
the Okra Alabama with their Crimson Tide. Hey there's an elephant.
Anybody would say their official mascot was the Fighting Okra
and as Andy Andrews said that his last visit with us,
who knows what ole miss is now? Uh, there's a right,

(49:39):
Is that what we're talking about?

Speaker 3 (49:41):
I got two mascots, one official one unofficial.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
Fighting Okrah is your fund Zone mascot, I believe.

Speaker 10 (49:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Statesman has been our traditional Yes.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
Still the Delta State Statesman and Lady Statesmen.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
A couple of issues.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
Speedy is about to become travels weird, Lady Statesman women,
Yes states Person. Uh so this is Speedy's in that mode.
We've all been there. You're at work. Uh, as soon
as you can free up, you got to get on
the road. And you got a road trip ahead. First
of all, you gotta get your You got to get
the correct route.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
They'll take you a couple of different routes. Yeah, and
you're a little confusion on which one to take.

Speaker 6 (50:13):
Well, you know, whenever, whenever a route is about ten
minutes apart, it's it's kind of like but because every
minute counts, you go, I'm gonna go the fastest, but
the fastest takes me through Greenwood, Mississippi, and I have
bad memories.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Wow, what happened? What happened when I went to visit
my girlfriend? Is that where the heartbreak happened? Mississippi? Or
she dumped me and I had to take greyhound home? Yeah,
station you'll start crying. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:39):
Then you get on the bus, you go all the
way to see her and she broke up with you. Yeah,
and then you said to hang out with her families.
You miss that and then you greyhound back.

Speaker 6 (50:47):
I did looking out the one to listen to that
songs take it takes.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
A long time to get back.

Speaker 6 (50:50):
You couldn't believe the other kind of takes you on
the more northern route through Tupelo, Mississippi, and.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Then back down.

Speaker 6 (50:58):
No harm, no, no, no, no, I'm good there.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Stopped buying and see Elvis if you had time. I know,
I went to Elvis's birthplace where French.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
Remember.

Speaker 6 (51:06):
It was weird and I'm getting I mean so many
emails about while at Delta State. Once you're there, you
have got to eat at airport grocery. I mean it's
air that bothers you done.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
It's a rest let me say, where you go into
the convenience store, but they also have great food and
everybody loves it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know like BJ's
JJ's over. We have one of those here. I should
have said that I'll never get in there again. But
Matthew McConaughey ate there when they were shooting the movie
here not long ago.

Speaker 5 (51:39):
This just looks like a straight up restaurant with a
I mean.

Speaker 6 (51:43):
It is really good, to the point where I was
texting with some of the the the parents that are
already headed that way, and one of the reasons why
they are leaving early is so they can get so
they can have lunch at the airport grocery.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
And he's not going to pound behind. He's going to
a ball game to see his sun played college baseball.

Speaker 6 (52:03):
They have got greg They have hot Tomali's.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
I know you love that.

Speaker 6 (52:11):
Yeah, they got crawfish tails, and they they have got
I mean, I'm sitting here looking at the menu and
the menu. Uh, they have got shrimp, Poe boys. They
have got it all. And everybody's telling me all the
plates Hamburger, Steakhodness. They say they're they're catfish is really good.

(52:32):
But anyway, so I've got to the problem I have
is that you know, you're always in a hurry. I
don't know why, but it just is you're always you
know yet you know?

Speaker 7 (52:40):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (52:40):
And so I'm gonna get in and it's already gonna
probably be if I get there, no problems. Second second
inning of the first game of the double header.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
Today.

Speaker 6 (52:48):
They're moving everything up because of the rain that's coming
in over the weekend throughout the southeast. So I think
today's out, but tomorrow the game is scheduled for one
but but they due to weather situations, it could be
moved up a little or back, and I could see
it getting moved back a little bit, which I'm hoping
that means that opens up lunch and I can go

(53:10):
to Airport grocery.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
But I've got to go. Now.

Speaker 6 (53:13):

occasional negative.

Speaker 5 (55:13):
But that's just well, that's just.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
People that people.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
But sometimes somebody thinks something's bad, hurt a negative yet

run right now in my life where I eat lunch

You ever had to tell you have to have one
of those runs to the baseball bathroom? Oh?

Speaker 6 (57:39):
Yeah, Hey, do you see what happened in the game.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
No, I didn't know where you're been. Well, they got

Speaker 1 (57:46):
If you if you've ever had to go that way
in a baseball bathroom at a field, yeah, hot man,
you won't remember.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
It'll traumatize you.

Speaker 6 (57:55):
When y'all, would y'all go crawfish Po boy or shrimp
Po Boy?

Speaker 2 (57:59):
Shrimp? I'm a little scared of crawfish, you are.

Speaker 5 (58:02):
I'll craw fish something else.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
I love crawfish.

Speaker 5 (58:04):
Yeah, I'll go crawfish something out.

Speaker 2 (58:06):
But on the Poe boy out in the shrimp.

Speaker 6 (58:07):
Oh and by the way, I forgot Delta State's good too.
I got that too, So I need e good.

Speaker 9 (58:12):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 2 (58:21):
Here we go. Wow Speading, how people have seen you pictures?
But you got problems. I know.

Speaker 1 (58:28):
You you got you got problems, buddy O.

Speaker 6 (58:34):
I am so jealous of some of the other that
they're already going there for lunch. I'm gonna see how
they how they're acting at the game.

Speaker 1 (58:41):
Yeah, you know, Speedy, I'm afraid you're gonna have to
go test collution. You think I'm sorry, Okay, I mean
when I looked at how much time you're giving up
to go to below.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
It's more time than I thought.

Speaker 6 (58:52):
Yeah, it's it's I'm sorry, buddy, it's that we're talking
about directions where I send you a gout there, here's
your different route, here's the fastest. I don't know why
they always, hey, you avoid highways. Why haven't give you
that option? Because it's like two hours longer. There are
people that go, yeah, I will take that round something.
I just don't want to be on a highways and
some people would be scared. Some people use the avoid highways,
but you should only use that when you're like where

(59:13):
we deal with there's some places where we live. If
you're trying to travel, you never know what's waiting on you,
and so a lot of times you'll go, all right,
it looks like there's issues all the way down that highway,
how do I get there? Because sometimes it'll keep trying
to put you back on the highway. So you pick
the no no highways, and that way you back rode
it all the way there, and even though it's took

(59:34):
about the same amount of time, you're not sitting there
in traffic.

Speaker 5 (59:36):
Yes, yeah, that is that there, that's just from here
to there. But I just did are you going to?

Speaker 3 (59:43):
Where are you going?

Speaker 2 (59:44):
No?

Speaker 6 (59:44):
No, no, I wish it was only that Cleveland, Mississippi.

Speaker 3 (59:48):
I was thinking about two below mississ That's one route
to go that way.

Speaker 2 (59:55):
But Delta State is in Cleveland.

Speaker 3 (59:57):
Wow, okay, all right, place them shutting the hooters down
to Mississippi. Mississippi and in Cleveland, Mississippi are very different.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
Yeah, they sure are. Yea they are.

Speaker 6 (01:00:12):
Oh rick Okay, see this one only has its thirteen minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
What still though, say that big loop up top, look
at that big loop. You can't well, I still say
you go with them?

Speaker 6 (01:00:23):
Yeah, but that's because you the way. That's the way
there were growing up. That's the where you win it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
There is there is one potential issue when you do
go to look at Grenada where we live, where we
all live in Birmingham, Alabama, Mark Camp where you're going
east west that Tuscaloosa area. The only problem you're gonna
find if you don't head toward twenty two, which is
a very now that they built twenty two, that nice
and got it all right, it's a sweet right a

(01:00:49):
little further, but the odds of a traffic jam are less.
They are when when you hit that. Now, if they
got rid of that police department that was setting everybody up.
You're right, thank you, Greg, But that that Tuscalusa corridor
can be problematic.

Speaker 6 (01:01:04):
Oh no, But if I go that wag I go
through Ole, miss Do I stop and get a drink?

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
All right? I'm just kidding.

Speaker 6 (01:01:11):
Okay, do y'all take the bypass when you go through Tuscalation.

Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
I'll do that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:16):
All the years I was going to Startville, when Big
Love was going to college, there never once.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
That did not take the bypass. Never once.

Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
Yeah, I love the person. Well you got a pity over, Well,
it's worth every time. And it's not like some ridiculous
what we're talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
All right. By the way, those of you that follow
the royal family, that's what they're saying. All right, Okay,
you're gonna do it, I think.

Speaker 8 (01:01:39):
So.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
Okay, well, thank you, come through Grenada. We love the man.
That's awesome.

Speaker 6 (01:01:43):
So if you know the hemp bills in Grenada, Mississippi.
That was an old buddy of mine from Missippi State.
I would always go home his mom could cook. You
know how, when you're in college, you want to go
get a good old mama's meal. And she would cook
for us, let me tell you, and they.

Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
Were glad to see unlike your girlfriend Greg Greenwood.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
Greg, Oh, that's people actually liked him and wanted to stay.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
That's mean. Tell me when she gave me no heads
up either. I thought everything was fine when you when
you got.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
Downe by, when you got done by the girl in Greenwood,
to tell me if I have the story right?

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
Did you surprise her? Was this a surprise? He was planned,
that is, Greg.

Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
I think he had to like to stay around, hanging
around with her family, and she was not wanting to
see him.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):

she like left her house and I was this, I
think the most embarrassing relationship moment I've ever had.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
So yeah it was.

Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
It sounds like because she knew he was coming right, Yes,
you showed up. She goes, You know now that I
look at hymore talk to it, and I really don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
We can't do dating. She knew, and I looked like,

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
He's kind of here now.

time I was there, she was dreading it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
Can I oh, yeah, yeah, when I'm sorry, did you

Even worse now than I sobered up, I thought, Rick,

hating him out in the college Ward Yeah different. Oh,
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):

She always had a crush on local guy, and that
local guy he got.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
He was on the bus Henry. Yeah. Oh, they had
the bust ride. He finally paid attention to her. Never
had before.

Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
The boyfriend and Hunts was a little different than the boyfriend.

Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
Here in Greenwood. It was so bad.

Speaker 6 (01:05:50):
Don't go through Greenwood, you can wait home. I forget
who it was. I had somebody picked me up in Laurel, Mississippi.
They had a Greyhound bus stop there and I said
that the more as as much as as far as
I could take it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
I was like, I can't take this about that ride. Hey,
some findings on their way you ain't.

Speaker 6 (01:06:06):
Yeah, you didn't have an iPad or iPhone back, nothing,

Did you have a window seat? I needn't know if
Broken Heart Mullet was staring out the windows?

Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
Did you have windows?

Speaker 8 (01:06:17):
See?

Speaker 1 (01:06:17):
It's sad you wait that Mississippi country road you can
see like the Mississippi country side.

Speaker 6 (01:06:23):
Tree, tree, tree, tree, little heartbroke more tree, look.

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
Around, pastor, pastor cows.

Speaker 6 (01:06:32):
Yeah, loneliness, that's awful.

Speaker 2 (01:06:37):
Top of the hour.

Speaker 9 (01:06:39):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (01:06:50):
If you send an email, you can find those by
going to Rick Birdess show dot com.

Speaker 2 (01:06:54):
Just go to the team. All of our emails are
right there underneath.

Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
But hey, bird birds in the title are the subject
whatever it is.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
Showing. All right, So this one will have its own discussion.

Speaker 11 (01:07:19):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:07:20):
Sometimes we just bring out solo ones because the discussion
is intriguing.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
Two questions, Okay, and they want us to kick it around, okay,
and they're and I think he's asking us to talk
about it as ourselves, but also to educate someone who
would be in this situation. Okay, hear me out. It's
gonna have Adler's attention immediately. If you were locked in
an octagon, what the UFC ring and inside the octagon

(01:07:50):
are all four members of the Rick Burgess show, Speedy, Greg.

Speaker 2 (01:07:54):
Adler, Rick or they're all in the ring?

Speaker 1 (01:07:58):
All you have to knock out the entire hire team
to win ten million dollars. Okay, you have five minutes
in the ring to win. Here are the two questions.
Who do you go after first? Who do you think
you have to take out first? And then who do
you think is going to give you a fight all
the way to the end to be the most difficult
to defeat?

Speaker 2 (01:08:19):
Weird question? Yeah, that's it. That is incredible that whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
He gets you on the ground, it's over the Really,
of course he needs a cardio win to wrest the
match against the woman for your.

Speaker 5 (01:08:30):
Cardio is gonna be my only friend there?

Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
I think, well, you got moves, you've got training.

Speaker 5 (01:08:34):
I know, but it's it's gonna I'm gonna have to
wear you down.

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):
And when it's that kind of when it's that kind
of madhouse situation, none.

Speaker 2 (01:08:40):
Of that million dollars on the line.

Speaker 3 (01:08:43):
If I can run away from y'all until y'all get tired,
until you get tired.

Speaker 2 (01:08:47):
That might do it, and it probably wouldn't take long.

Speaker 9 (01:08:49):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:08:50):
So here, here's here where it goes. So first let's
work at it. Let's standing there looking at two angles.
I thought this person was gonna it was two things.

Speaker 2 (01:08:59):
There's two.

Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
It's two different looks. Look one, it's us, all right,
that's the first. If I'm in that situation, uh, I
am going to try to if I can, to take
out the two guys to to your point, Addler, who
I think are in the best shape.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
Okay, So I'm probably going to Speedy.

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
I'm gonna go after Speedy first, and I'm gonna try
to just completely knock him out.

Speaker 2 (01:09:23):
Thanks, okay.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
And and then I'm gonna keep and we're just punching
and not it's no weapons.

Speaker 2 (01:09:30):
And then I'm gonna keep fighting Addlers.

Speaker 1 (01:09:31):
He shows up, I'm gonna push him away and let
him show up, push him away. Then I'm going after
you and I'm just gonna push and then you're out
because you're gonna be the one to me, Greg, you
are the meanest and most likely to fight to your
dying death.

Speaker 2 (01:09:45):
Then I will chee.

Speaker 5 (01:09:46):
Is it m M A rules? Or can we like bite?

Speaker 2 (01:09:48):
And I think we can we can bite?

Speaker 5 (01:09:51):
Oh this is getting ugly.

Speaker 1 (01:09:52):
Yeah, all right, so that that would be my strategy.
And then at the end, once I've got Greg out,
then I finished Adler.

Speaker 2 (01:09:59):
So you have your self winning.

Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
Of course I win, right, I mean this is not
even up for debate. I mean my version is different
when you yeah, yeah, so he's out when.

Speaker 5 (01:10:07):
He get you exactly, I'm biting Greg's fingers off.

Speaker 2 (01:10:10):
Greg, do you follow the same strategy? You just win?
And that and when you and I go at it
speedy me.

Speaker 1 (01:10:16):
Adler, Uh yeah, and the points you're talking about when
Ayler keeps attacking, just kind of pushing.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
I just keep pushing.

Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
What do you think you'd be able to do?

Speaker 2 (01:10:24):
That? Couture the size of a small child? Okay, friend,
that's how speedy? What about you?

Speaker 6 (01:10:30):
I think I make a secret pack with one of you,
Oh that we team up together and whoop everybody and
then it's just me and him.

Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
And who would you with? You win over? You're sure
not gonna win him over with money. I don't know
what you're gonna do because you're not giving any money.

Speaker 2 (01:10:45):
You don't know that. Would you split some of it? Well,
you're getting ten million.

Speaker 3 (01:10:50):
What if we all are all friends, God forbid, we
all work together.

Speaker 5 (01:10:55):
And then it's it's a it's a we fake it. Oh,
and then then we can.

Speaker 3 (01:11:00):
All Yes, nobody has to die.

Speaker 5 (01:11:04):
I don't have to bite off Greg's fingers.

Speaker 2 (01:11:06):
Yeah, there's an option.

Speaker 6 (01:11:08):
I probably go to Adler and go, look, I'll take nine,
you take one.

Speaker 2 (01:11:11):
We'll team together. Wait, why do you get nine?

Speaker 1 (01:11:15):
Let's take out the Burgess boys and as you and
me we'll split it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
So, so, Adair, what would you do?

Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Like I said, I'm just gonna a run from y'all
until you get tired, that's really.

Speaker 1 (01:11:25):
And whoever gets tired first, you take them out, one
by one, by tired or by getting.

Speaker 3 (01:11:28):
I'm gonna run and I'm gonna run at seventy nine percent.

Speaker 5 (01:11:33):
What I can you know what?

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
I can go hoping y'all are going at one hundred,
so that you wear out and then and then I
slowly strangle all of it all.

Speaker 1 (01:11:39):
Right, now, let's say now let's take the Okay, now
let's take the other scenario. A random person walks in
the ring facing all four of us.

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
What do they need to do.

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
All of all four of us together against one.

Speaker 1 (01:11:51):
Yeah, he's got to take us out one by one,
pack of lune. We can't all attack him. No, we
can't attack He's got to pick who he wants to
take in order.

Speaker 3 (01:12:00):
So what's the question.

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
The question is when would the strategy be? Who do
you take out first? If you were him? If you
were him, another random person? Who do you think you're in.

Speaker 3 (01:12:09):
The most attacking all at once though?

Speaker 1 (01:12:11):
Yeah, well I guess in this case you would be
if you if you went in there, if you were
going to try to win the ten million high of
it set up against the four of us, who do
you take out first?

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
And who do you think is the most difficult to
fight you to the end?

Speaker 3 (01:12:22):
If there was a person added to our scenario, who
do they think?

Speaker 1 (01:12:26):
Right?

Speaker 6 (01:12:27):
Can you bring hold on? I gotta go back to
something because he doesn't. Can you bring things into the octagon?
Doesn't like if I had to distract Greg cornbread to distract.

Speaker 1 (01:12:36):
Now, that's a good point that you would beat everybody
up if you that girl had just dumpty. This is
all This is all physical prowess, that's all about and strategy.

Speaker 3 (01:12:46):
Yeah, Hey, somebody had a good one on the text
that said the guy sitting next to speed he offered
him a cigarette and took on the bus, and that
was the beginning of it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
On Yeah, I think I do think the person who
was going to fight to his last break is going
to be greg with with possibly.

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
I think I think it's obvious.

Speaker 1 (01:13:07):
I think that speeding now can be dangerous to you
if you if you get in a bad situation. But
as far as the longevity of the whole thing, Oh,
you still't know though, now you're true, you don't know
where we're gonna go. The mental toughness.

Speaker 2 (01:13:19):
I also want to know if y line we kept
picking Madler last.

Speaker 5 (01:13:24):
It seems like it.

Speaker 3 (01:13:25):
No, it's not talking about pushing me away like I'm
a little kid holding your arm on the top of
my head while I swing in the air and stuff.
So let's start how it would go, Greg.

Speaker 1 (01:13:33):
Let's throw that out to the audience. We'll take your
phone calls next. So what would you do? Now it
goes back to you the audience, ten million dollars, the
four of us in an octagon.

Speaker 2 (01:13:44):
What's your strategy?

Speaker 1 (01:13:46):
That should That should bread some pretty interesting commentary. The
numbers eight eight eight six, big box. We talk to
you next.

Speaker 9 (01:13:54):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 7 (01:14:01):
Jonathan, go ahead, yeah, I'll tell him about the the
you know the off Galen there being a random guy
and they're having to go gets out of y'all one
by one.

Speaker 2 (01:14:10):
Yes.

Speaker 8 (01:14:11):
I was thinking maybe it's a little bit of twists
instead of going after the you know, the bigger one first,
shouting after the smaller ones because they're gonna be a
little bit more slippery to cats.

Speaker 1 (01:14:21):
Yeah, you really don't want to save Adler, I don't
think to the end because of his his cardio advantage
and his elusiveness.

Speaker 3 (01:14:28):
I used cardio as a weapon.

Speaker 1 (01:14:29):
Yes, yeah, right, somebody else saying Greg's out, I would
just point him over to a corner and say there's
free puppies over there in a back of peanuts.

Speaker 2 (01:14:37):
I'd leave. That's what Michael Tampa, Florida. Your strategy go, Yes, sir,
I would.

Speaker 11 (01:14:43):
I would take Adler first. If he's trained in jiu jitsu,
in any form, he's gonna be the toughest fund So
you got to get him out first. And then I
feel like my cardio, I trained jiu jitsu, I should
be able to get in the rest of you guys.

Speaker 2 (01:14:56):
Yeah, what belt are you? I knew that was coming.

Speaker 11 (01:14:58):
Yeah, purple purple.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
That's good.

Speaker 2 (01:15:01):
But what about Michael? You you flew.

Speaker 1 (01:15:03):
But Michael, what if you finish off Adler, turn around
and I punch you in the face and you're out.

Speaker 8 (01:15:09):
I'm tacking the.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
Legs, attacking those legs. The old legs ain't what they
used to be.

Speaker 10 (01:15:17):
Uh.

Speaker 11 (01:15:18):
If you're at Dadler, you start sweeping somebody's legs, they're
going to the ground pretty quick.

Speaker 2 (01:15:23):
True.

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
If you've got a good leg locked game, How big
a fella are you?

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
Michael too?

Speaker 11 (01:15:29):
Eight too?

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
Okay, Yeah, you're in good shape, good cardio, and.

Speaker 3 (01:15:35):
I do know you.

Speaker 11 (01:15:36):
So yeah, I got a pretty good leg game, so
I think I think I can put it on you
pretty quick.

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
Yeah, and of course in course speed.

Speaker 1 (01:15:41):
He's got those little bird legs, so you probably go
after my legs first.

Speaker 11 (01:15:44):
I would think, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, interne into the
honey hole, Adler, know what I'm talking about. Internet, the
honey hole and ankle lock y'all, it'll be game over.

Speaker 3 (01:15:53):
He's right.

Speaker 1 (01:15:55):
My My only hope would be you be so distracted
by my calves that I get you before you jump.

Speaker 11 (01:16:01):
Sound good, guys, I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
Thanks, good call. Let's go to Daniel and Alabama. Daniel,
what do you think.

Speaker 10 (01:16:08):
Morning fellas? Hey buddy, all right, so I'm six four
to fifteen, but I will go after all four of
y'all at the same time. So the match will be
set in Greenwood, Mississippi, so Speedy will be distracted with
his memory. I would have a case of natty light
sitting outside of the ring, so Greg will walk out immediately,
go sit and watch.

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
That's a good point.

Speaker 10 (01:16:29):
And then rig. All I'd have to do is have
a good walkout song and you pull a multile dancing.

Speaker 2 (01:16:36):
That's funny.

Speaker 10 (01:16:38):
And then pilot for Adler. I just pinned him with
a picture of Miss Terry Wilburn.

Speaker 3 (01:16:42):
Oh that's funny, too, terrible, that's funny, terrible.

Speaker 1 (01:16:51):
We just I mean a I is changing the things
we've seen change in our time, doing this for a living.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
Go back to when speed, you and me and.

Speaker 1 (01:17:03):
Adler and Greg Zone one didn't really have a background
in radio, but he's around it. I mean, it's part
of his life because I was. When you go back
to the things we started doing, I mean and playing
records than the CDs and you know cartridges with with
with you know, commercials and no internet, and we we
have watched our world radically change over the well, we've

(01:17:29):
been doing it longer than thirty one years. We did
Rick and Bubba for thirty one years, but all of
us worked in radio even prior to that, as did Bubba.
So we're talking around forty years and what all we've
seen happen. And now we're living in the You gotta
have an app, and you got to have a podcast,
and you got to have a YouTube channel, and you
got to have this and and and then and now AI.

(01:17:51):
All the commercials run on computers now and digital that
and digital that and Wi Fi this and and and
now AI parody songs can be done in minutes, I
mean just in minutes, you know, with without anyone involved
other than you. Just find the the link to do it,
give it the information.

Speaker 2 (01:18:12):
It cranks a song.

Speaker 1 (01:18:13):
And we already have one on on Speedy's Heartbreak in Greenwood, Mississippi.
I'm sorry, And what is it called greyhound heartbreak? It
is greyhound heartbreak?

Speaker 2 (01:18:23):
Oh boy?

Speaker 1 (01:18:24):

Speaker 2 (01:18:43):
Say it again, as far is that greyhound heartbreak? Greyhound heartbreak.

Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
Here's greyhound heartbreak, and that our assumes as it's a
we can let it roll.

Speaker 2 (01:18:53):
Yeah, that's crazy. It's really happened.

Speaker 3 (01:18:58):
Green Willman, Ssissippi will a long rye from home.

Speaker 5 (01:19:03):
But the draw is lady made Speedy hang up the phone.

Speaker 12 (01:19:09):
After hours of riding on old greyhound bus, she finally
made it to her, only to see her break his trust.

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
Oh Speedy, heartbreak.

Speaker 3 (01:19:20):
On one great hoound isn't easy to overcome. Some cheeck
in Mississippi was being really dumb. That's right, She's dove
my broken heart in Greenwood.

But I'm thankful for today because now I'm married to
Terry Lynn.

the years we being in a pond. Heartbeak on a Greg, Yeah,

to hold me down, Jake said. The thing in me

(01:20:16):

but miss my family who gave me that great hell home.

Speaker 6 (01:20:33):
She said, he said, it got off, it went off
the rails. Ai, you know they it was New York City.
But the lyrics say Birmingham. Like the written lyrics.

Speaker 1 (01:20:41):
That's still amazing. It's still amazing. It makes the music up.
The lyrics up.

Speaker 6 (01:20:48):
I hear green Greenwoodsissippi has a bypass. Now say I
don't have to town.

Speaker 2 (01:20:52):
And you have to get that memory got around it.
So that is insane.

Speaker 1 (01:20:56):
So where Land and I want to know you as
a musician and Greg, all those years us in bands
writing songs, are we kind of we don't know how
to feel about AI. I know, I mean, are you
just I mean that's amazing And for comedy songs, I
mean you tell about these.

Speaker 6 (01:21:10):
I think John Bird and Bird Works and all the
work for us he would it would take him for
I mean, so many hours to do it.

Speaker 3 (01:21:17):
Sure, for people that are one, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
that was my fault. For people that are wondering, it
looks like he used the murika M you are e
k A, M you are I don't know how to
say that, M you are e k ica He used
that for to create it, and yeah, he some of

(01:21:41):
the humor in there surprised me. But I am reading
here that he wrote some of it too, So I
think some.

Speaker 5 (01:21:46):
Of those jokes that really landed.

Speaker 3 (01:21:48):
I think we're probably written by the guy. And I
think that it is already a song and then then
you put in the words and then the words go
into the song.

Speaker 5 (01:21:57):
So you can you see what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:21:58):
So all of it's not from scratch. You're kind you
kind of have to help AI at different layers of that,
especially to be that that was a great one that
was successful on so many times.

Speaker 5 (01:22:08):
So there's so many turns and so many lines.

Speaker 1 (01:22:09):
Well, you're right, so you're saying, the more you help it,
the better it is. But still the technology.

Speaker 3 (01:22:15):
And we're going to have to do less and less
and less as time goes on.

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
As it starts figuring it out. It's actually learning, it's
actually learning.

Speaker 3 (01:22:21):
It's getting better.

Speaker 2 (01:22:22):
Yeah, now, how it turned Birmingham into New York City.

Speaker 1 (01:22:25):
It's weird, but but still the fact that if I'll
just give it a good line, it will give me,
find me a melody that works, and all of that.
And and I guess that voice is completely digital, right,
that's not a person.

Speaker 3 (01:22:38):
Right right now, there's no person really having to say
you order any of that stuff.

Speaker 6 (01:22:42):
You know, need to write one about you loving Peanuts?

Speaker 2 (01:22:44):
Would you? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:22:45):
Well it hit me in and we really haven't worked
on it, and maybe we could. Some people are saying,
you know, and we got the ken Liners and all
this stuff, and we're having we're developing things like these
are ai things that we do for Haybird and some
other things that we do. But you know, when you
think about it, you know, the recreating if you tried
to come up with another like theme song for the show,

(01:23:06):
if you get savvy enough on working with this, you
really don't.

Speaker 2 (01:23:10):
That's the part.

Speaker 1 (01:23:10):
It's hard for me to say it because I love musicians,
I love being in a band. I love writing songs.
I have great respect for that, and I prefer that.
But if you're just needing elements for like a show
like this, yeah, this is This is much simpler and
a lot less expensive than trying to get people to
get together in the studio.

Speaker 2 (01:23:28):
And record stuff for you. And we just look at
your points medium in again, yeah we can.

Speaker 3 (01:23:33):
Just a very simple way to look at this is
how much better they've gotten at creating images. Like if
you told it to make a French horn a while back,
you would have gotten something like this, right, And now
the French horn looks like a photo of a French show.

Speaker 6 (01:23:48):
It's learning, Yeah, it is learning, which is scary.

Speaker 3 (01:23:50):
Each each new generation of these AI programs gets better
and better, and China had a pretty big breakthrough in
their most recent I computer that they unveiled or AI
software that they unveiled in that it took them only
five million dollars to create it. And you've seen, you've seen,

(01:24:10):
and people are speculating, is that is that true? Is
that number that they're giving us true? Because if it is,
AI just got a quantum leap cheaper as well. It's
not only getting better, but it's getting cheaper.

Speaker 2 (01:24:21):
Right, Okay, so so any funny show though really well done. Right,
we'll come back.

Speaker 1 (01:24:27):
We have much more to cover today, the burger small
battle still to come.

Speaker 2 (01:24:31):
Got that out there?

Speaker 5 (01:24:33):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 3 (01:24:34):
I asked AI to make a picture of a sad
redheaded kid on a buzz and the picture finally spit
it out.

Speaker 2 (01:24:39):
Are you kidding?

Speaker 11 (01:24:39):
There?

Speaker 2 (01:24:39):
It is?

Speaker 5 (01:24:40):
There's sad, it's too young.

Speaker 3 (01:24:42):
I think that's too young. That's fake right there, that's
an AI amage direct there.

Speaker 2 (01:24:48):
That's not fake.

Speaker 3 (01:24:49):
That's an all Everything is fake in that.

Speaker 2 (01:24:51):
Wow.
