this is this is I think you'll agree, Speedy, Greg,
uh and and Adler of course, Addler, you and Speedy
more so than Greg. I think you'll agree that though
this is good news, it's also sad. What happened. So

(03:04):
Don Day, yesterday was yesterday was the Wednesday Bible study.
And he's one of the men that's been in there
for years and has become Greg's provider of dry roasted peanuts.
And he's a peanut dealer. He is, I mean, he's
an entrepreneur and slash inventor and working on his craft.

(03:26):
And he has missed quite a few because he's been
got a back issue and he had back surgery. Here
comes the good in the bad. It began at four
p fifty two my local time yesterday PM. Okay, okay, Well,
the surgery is over. Feeling pretty good. Praise the Lord.

(03:48):
Thanks for praying, Don Day. Can you notice a difference yet,
Praise God that you're that it's over. Yes, the exsidic
pain in the leg is already gone. Some pain, of course,
were the two surgery sites. But I'm able to walk
without pain in my leg, so that's good news. Hopefully

(04:08):
this is showing me that the back surgery was a success.
Then its just a bye broduct. Then it happened. Tell Greg,
I should be able to get peanuts back up to
the office sooner than later. That's fine. Look, I don't
expect him anymore.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Did you put anything in there that? Hey, tell you brother,
I missed his call checking on me.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Oh, stand by? Okay, Don Have you heard from Greg? Sadly? No,
I haven't, but I know he's thinking of me. He
made all that up. You made every text? Did you
text him Greg?

Speaker 4 (04:49):
No?

Speaker 1 (04:49):
I mean you didn't. I don't have Don's number. We
have you ever asked for it? No? I haven't. Okay,
probably why you don't have it.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, it's hard to get it you don't ask for it.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, but he don't need to worry about the pen.
Let me tell you, Don Dake. He needs worry about
getting better, Don Dae keeping his sense of humor. When
I asked him that, can you show notice any difference?
Immediately he sent me this that this was him getting
in bed. Okay, it's a guy doing a flip into
the bed. I ain't gonna do ah, but it's funny.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
I actually have big news about this.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Oh really okay? Good?

Speaker 5 (05:25):
Yeah, I got so sick of hearing great complain about it.
Brought a big old tub of peanuts in it.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Look at you, look at that. It's as big as
my face.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
From Costco, I did Hadler that's that's gonna be the
biggest can of nuts I've ever seen. Not the right kid,
But yeah, what are you talking to?

my goodness, Greg, Well when you say cannon nuts in
the mount.

worry about getting better. Don't worry about peanuts. Okay, I don't.
I don't want anymore. Okay, well you can you can
eat adlers. No, those are good.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
No, you can't have them. Act now that I think
about it.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
That kind attitude, Hey, uh, very substitute. I'll give you that,
all right. I don't know why this owns me rather
be lightly so Yeah, yeah, that's fine, Greg, I don't
know why this owns. You know, everybody starts doing the
text when we start this hour, hat I'm ready or
this one is now to day two, and they did.
I didn't give them props yesterday. Look, the Amish are
ready from Eli. You know, we're big, we're big with

(07:00):
the Now that that would have to be the men.
If they're using electronics to hear us somehow, that's got
to be the Mennonites, right, Yeah, I think there's different branches. Yeah,
the Mennonite. The Mennonis will at least dip their toe
in society. Yeah, you know with a little with with
you know, with electronics and right, Well, I told you
that I knew a guy. He was I think he
fell under the plane people they called him say, and
he was a tech guy. That was his job. No

(07:24):
plane like plane planes like like we keep it simple. Yeah.
But but he dressed he had one of them beards
and he really clothes were handmade. So I'm gun you
had a tech problem. Though. He could fix it. So
you're saying he could raise a barn, or he could
fix you the service. He could turn. But that's that's good.

(07:46):
So anyway, Greg, I want you to know because I
know you were worried about it. Donde's surgery was this
looks like a success? Good? Did you forgot about don No?
When I look at my goodness? Let's you be real
you forgot even had.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
Honest?

Speaker 1 (08:04):
No, but he's been real speedy. He remembered it this morning.
What yeah, get up to the end. I forgot, you know,
not getting cut up late on it. Now I don't
expect him. He's laid up. He finally walking with no pain.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
And you just.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
This and now and then here comes Adler trying to,
you know, do something that would be kind of work
until you can get back to those sad substitute But
don't like Look I got the same thing because you don't.
Well he didn't say that, yeah, but he had that tone.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
He didn't have that tone. I'm sorry. I thought you
might stop actually complaining. I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
I say, that's where you messed up. Yeah, we'll be
right back, stay closer.

Speaker 6 (08:51):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Thank you for being with us. As The Rick Burgess
Show rolls on, thank you so much for all the feedback.
We continue to get emails, social media, the text option
out of Tennessee off the text option on the potential.

(09:22):
What was the cause of the rabbit strike that caused
the United Boeing seven point thirty seven to have to
come back to an emergency landing? What a good one.
Maybe there was a magician on the plane and the
rabbit got out of the hat during the barding. That
that's good, good, all right there, Yeah, it's a dandy.
A lot of people were making us aware of this

(09:43):
troubling story out of South Africa. As a matter of fact,
we early on we're talking about people in this audience
that personally know the pastor that was kidnapped in front
of his wife and six children last week in South Africa.
Well the eight News and we had this actually on

(10:03):
yesterday's program and we didn't get to it. But the
Great News because a lot of people have been praying
for Josh Sullivan and his family and all that were
connected to him. I believe that he originally went to
South Africa out of the Chattanooga area, right Chattanooga, Tennessee,
somewhere in that area, and so a lot of you
know Josh and his family because y'all were calling on

(10:26):
all of us to pray, and of course we have
been in churches everywhere praying. Well. He has been rescued.
It was intense. They refer to it as a rescue.
Late on Tuesday night, high intensity shootout that left three
people dead. Greg was telling me that the South Africans
have a task force just for kidnappings because they have

(10:50):
so many, sadly, and there's a lot going on there too.
About and even Trump's waiting on this, and we've had
John Thomas on before talking about this, even his wife's family.
You know, we're farmers who grew up with a farm
and after the downfall of apartheid and then after Mandela
passed away, there there were these land grabs where you know,

(11:12):
they were taking people's farms away from them and all
of this. But there's a lot of chaos in South Africa,
and we talked about that a lot. But this what's incredible,
and we have a story is the fact that Josh Sullivan,
by all accounts, it looks like in this deadly intent shootout,

(11:34):
that providence was in play. Yeah, because everybody in the
car but him were killed by gunfire.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yeah, it's crazy. How about he is in the middle
of a prayer service at Fellowship Baptist Church there and
they and these abductors come in our men and grab
him and put and take him to a safe house
about fourteen miles away from where they abducted him. And
then the task force, like Greg said, they figured out
where he was and then they get to the house

(12:03):
and then they try to get away in a truck
and then the shootout occurs. But the NBC reporter was
actually talked to his dad too.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
And here it is. It's about a minute a half long.
This is your missionary Josh Sullivan here, Tennessee.

Speaker 7 (12:19):
Pastor Josh Sullivan is safe tonight after a deadly shootout
between his abductors and police. He was kidnapped last Thursday
in front of his wife and six children, the youngest
two years old. His relieved father in law telling NBC
News tonight, he got a phone call from a family
member following five frightening days to.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Our answered it and.

Speaker 8 (12:44):
Basically just dropped to money since words were we got
him and.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
I'll just thank god.

Speaker 7 (12:54):
Police today he's still searching the house where Pastor Sullivan
was rescued. Outside, three doctors were killed as they tried
to escape with Sullivan in a vehicle.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Three came out dead.

Speaker 8 (13:05):
Josh came out aloud, and he was in the same
vehicle that was filled with bullets. So one hundred percent God,
I hope.

Speaker 9 (13:16):
You can see the sign here of our This gang
in a township in eastern Cape had been demanding a
ransom after pulling Sullivan from the pulpit of the Baptist
church he had founded and filmed in this YouTube video.

Speaker 8 (13:27):
I spoke with him last night and very very extremely brief,
and his words were that he loved me, and my
worst him word that I loved him.

Speaker 7 (13:40):
Tonight Josh Sullivan's family say he is unharmed and reunited
with his wife and children. The prayers of his community answered.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Can you imagine? And that was his father in law.
But can can you imagine how the joy, just the
sheer joy of him being returned to as well life
and his kids and and and see this is the thing,
just watching him being taken away. How about how about
when they come get you in the middle of service
and take you right out of the bullpit right.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
They knew where he was going to be.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
I guess you know well. And and now all they've
done these these wicked, evil people. Of course they're dead now, yeah,
and they'll face the you know, the the judgment and
we're not you know, that's that's now. Now God will
be the one who'll deal with them. But now this
man's impact in this man's ministry is only stronger. Yeah, yeah,

(14:36):
it's only stronger. All they did was make his ministry
stronger and have more impact than it did before. Yeah,
because now, I mean you think he's not on fire
right now? So yeah, because I'll tell you one thing.
He's been really really close to the Lord that he serves,
and now the Lord has uh seen in his his

(14:56):
perfect providence that he would be uh turned unscathed, and
then those that took him would be killed. And now
God's man will return to the pulpit. Can I wish
I could be there for the next service? Yeah? Can
you imagine what that's going to be like? So good
news there and a lot of you that have been

(15:18):
praying for that family and keeping us updated. There we go. Yeah, man,
what a story. That's a story right there. Greg, Are
you concerned at all about this headline? This is your area, Greg,
Usually he's the one that keeps an eye on prodigies.

was a little deep for ten.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
Get your clothes, give them to me, Sarah conn Up.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
There you go a couple of stories to ponder on
today and celebrate. We'll be right back. So speedy. You
were saying, there's a story and this is the classic
the classic example of men and women are equal but

(19:43):
beautifully distinct, right, And apparently I didn't know this. Men
are pretty much in agreement that women are impossible to understand,
can't be done. Okay, And the sooner you realize that
and give up that pursuit, the better off you'll be. Men.
But what I didn't realize is there's apparently a lot

(20:04):
of things about us they don't understand, correct, And I,
you know, I just I've never really thought of that.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Now, a lady, we have a lot of stories out
of Canada today and you're going to realize that as
we continue. Okay, but out of Ontario courtesy of c
k x C, A lady called into this show to
complain about her husband and the fact that he didn't
cry on their wedding day, but he did when Roy

(20:32):
McElroy won the Masters, and she is not happy about it.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Take a listen to this.

Speaker 10 (20:37):
We got married two years ago and he sees me
in my wedding dress coming down the aisle. This man
does not shed a tear. My dad gave this beautiful
speech on our wedding day. Nothing. Yesterday, he's watching this
golf tournament and he cried when the whatever his name is,
when he won't he cried over a golf It is

(20:57):
the matters I've ever been.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
She must not know the history. Yeah, I mean, come on,
this was the one that I leaded him. It's a career,
Grand Slam. I'll tell you one thing. When Dell Earnhardt
won his Daytona five hundred greag and I cried her
eyes up. Yeah. I love the fact she said, my dad,
heman gave us.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
Beautiful, beautiful thanks, father in law.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Not a tear he sees me in my wedding dress.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
Nothing.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Whoever this guy was wins a golf tournament that she
didn't know who it was, whatever his name. She doesn't
know the backstory. She doesn't she doesn't know the back story.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
Said, have any interest in his interests?

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Thank you?

Speaker 3 (21:40):
Trying to learn about what he likes.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, let's talk about it. Yeah that was funny.

Speaker 5 (21:45):
Oh my goodness, you can tell you're so disgusting.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Well, okay, all right, right now, right now. And I
know this is off the cuff, and no one is
so funny. Royce, Grand and Slam was rare. Weddings happen
all the time. There's time in the history of golf
that's that's from the text line. But so okay, right now,

(22:12):
we're in this situation and I know that I don't
have the draw to golf that this man has, but
but I through the earn heart thing anything could be, yeah,
the things that we get emotional about it and so
like like you know, uh that you shot that deer
you've been after you know, and everybody's trying to get
your picture and you guys, well give me a minute,

(22:33):
you know what I mean? Yeah, So your wife is
this woman and whatever the rory thing is for you,
and she asked you the why what do you say, Oh,
I don't you just don't understand. You can't say yeah,
you don't understand. I think I would say because I'm

(22:54):
just I'm trying to think on my feet here on
the If it was the rory one would be easier
for me because of the situation. Earn Hart would have
been using because I would say this, Well, what you
see is my emotion. I'm being happy for someone else.
You didn't see emotion when I looked at your beauty
because I was happy for myself. How you like that? Okay,

(23:15):
that's not get you about three seconds of silence, do
you know what I think. I was. I was so
overwhelmed by your beauty, and that was something that was
happening for me. That was good because so all I
had then was joy. When Rory or del Earnhardt, you know,
had something happen for the that's something that happened for
them that they had been pursuing. I was. I was

(23:36):
emotional because of their plight giving. You're not making it
about you. My day was a day of joy, I was.
I was too happy to cry, which makes no sense,
but it sounds I'm thinking I was just handed the scenario.
Let me work with it, right, That would be one
of those they would accept it for a few minutes

(23:57):
and then come back to wait a minute.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
So what you're saying, well that Rick or you could say,
and it's on the same lines of what you're talking about.
But I was trying to hold it together and not
get emotional on the wedding day because the last thing
I wanted to do was ruin it because I'm a
I'm a I'm over here slobbering crying.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
I wanted to, you know.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Hold it all My buddies were there, right, and you
don't want to do that I'm here at the house
with you, and I'm just like, I'm happy for him
and his family.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
I was being stoic in public.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah, right, and his wife he wanted to leave and
all that they stayed together.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
I didn't want to ruin. Yeah, certainly you didn't want
to say. Well, honestly, if you remember we had the
Bachelor part of the night before, I was talking over
but standing up straight. I was trying not to puke.
But no, the and then how do you handle the
dead's speech? I'm just so happy. I mean, I was

(24:52):
just so overwhelmed. Or you could deep down and go, well,
your dad's thing, that's an easy one. He doesn't like me. Yeah,
I know words to describe it. Yes, there was just
no words. You know. I'm not a big crier. Well,
you cried when that guy won that golf tournament, but
that was something that was rare, and I felt I
was emotional for him. I think you go rick excited.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
I was excited about him all night and later in
the day.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
I'm so excited to drive my tears right, Okay.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
I bet he was like, I didn't know we were doing speeches.
My goodness, taks for the heads up, father, in law.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yeah, I didn't know.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
You're going to prepare some emotional thing that's thought out
with points to flow throughout it and symbolism.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
My goodness, Okay, this is pretty good.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
I like this one off the text line. No, the
answer should be that you weren't the same person on
your wedding day. Being married to her has helped you
grow as a person. I don't deserve you, uh you know,
and I've been changed so much that now you see
emotion in me now that I just didn't have them. Okay, yeah,
that's good, Or that you've beat me down so much.

(25:53):
I'm not the man I was. Yeah, yeah, I half
the man I was.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
I'm much weaker now.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
I thought I was, you know, like a prize if
you remember that day. I thought I was still own
two things that you now. Uh so, so now I
find myself crying all the time.

Speaker 6 (26:15):
That's so good.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Oh gracious. Yeah, I don't know. I don't You're you're
in a buying right there. But I think that let's
just put it under what was our original title. Though
there are things that a man will never understand about
the woman and how complicated she she is. We have
learned today there's things about us that they don't understand.

(26:38):
So and I don't think there's near as many.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
No, No, somebody, somebody texts it in.

Speaker 10 (26:44):
Now.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
He's in a tough spot because anytime he tries to
cry in the future, she's just gonna say, oh, you're
just acting.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
You're trying to do and make good. Yeah, he's he's
in those situations. There is no way to fix it. No, no,
you just ride this one out and let her tell
her friends and laugh along with it. Is funny, don't forget.
It's bothered her so much that she called into a
show to let them know. And that was a great
call for them.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
So apparently he has not smooth things over now.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
She heard the sound in her voice. Yeah, whatever his
name was, whatever his name was, and he won the Masters,
but that show by his first name. Hey, she didn't
even take her time to understand the storyline that that
wrecked her husband.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
Right do you when I say Greg, do you want
to call you Greg Burgess every time?

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Or just Greg? Can I say at different?

Speaker 3 (27:28):
You know me?

Speaker 1 (27:29):
I know Rory too.

Speaker 6 (27:30):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
So have you got your mama's information? Turned In April thirtieth,
is the cutoff or make Mama smile again. Yesterday we
clarified it does tell you that, but some of you
obviously have missed that. We really got into the as
many pictures as we could paint for you. If mama

(27:59):
doesn't have teeth at all, this is this is not
going to be an option. So there has to be
something to work with there. Or if it looks like
a hockey player, okay, and there's greg, but so just
understand that. Just read all the information. Go ahead, and
a lot of you have have sent Mama's in. Some

(28:20):
of them are not gonna be considered, sadly, because there's
nothing there to work with. These are veneers lower bleaching cleaning,
an X ray seventeen thousand dollars worth, and it is
a game changer. But there must be some some teeth
to work with. What we do for a living is interesting,
you know, right, Well, we can clarify that. Go to

(28:40):
Rick Burgessshow dot com and just click on the contest
button and you'll see that there. Okay, all right, so
Urban Meyer stirred a little bit, so this big story
out of Tennessee, Nico and I haven't forgot how to
say his last name. It looks like I'm a leaving,

(29:01):
But does anybody know how to say it correct? Well?

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Yeah, they were texting us fanatically how to how to
do it.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
It didn't look right even when they showed us. But
everybody knows who we're talking about. So Nico people are saying,
now there's talked today murmur U c l A could
be his new home. Why would he want to go?
I win money? Yeah, I guess many's from California. People

(29:30):
are saying that his dad, who apparently needs to be
I mean, seems to be at the heart of this.
They're a little bit delusional on what he's worth. Would
have been better for him and Tennessee if he would
have just stayed and kept what he had and tried
to get better. Tennessee fans are applauding their coach and
their administration for taking a stand, and I tend to

(29:51):
be in that camp. But Cole Shower urban Meyer, Yeah,
showed up yesterday almost as if Greg was talking about something. Yeah,
and of course this is the point he's making is
valid to all of you that are Tennessee vallfans that
are celebrating, And I understand I'm celebrating with you on

(30:12):
saying no to Niko uh and moving on without him
after the way he behaved here in spring training. I'm
with you, but are you going to be with your
coach and with your team if they don't have a
good season? Is that is that gonna wane? Yeah? And
absolutely well I think it will that.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
The Triple Option podcast This is Who This is courtesy
of Coach Meyer along with Mark Ingram and Rob Stone
hosted and they were discussing the situation Tennessee was in
and the and the discussion that we pick up is
is did he overplay his hand and did his dad,
you know, kind of think he's worth more than maybe
he is? How much is a playoff quarterback worth you know,

(30:57):
two and a half to it?

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Could he get four? Four and a half.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
They feel like he's he's overpricing himself and uh, and
now with the depth chart at Tennessee, they're kind of
left into maybe looking out into the portal. And so
that's the conversation that's been happening. And then Urban Meyer
coming from Adler here rig just says what a lot
of people are thinking.

Speaker 11 (31:17):
Here it is here, Here's the reality is Uh, Tennessee
is screwed. I mean they are. They got a problem.
You lose a potential high draft pick. You you have
the backup quarterback left last year, and now you have
a red shirt freshman at through nine passes in a
freshmen you have zero experience and the portal opens as

(31:38):
we speak. They're going to have to go get one.
And here's the thing that there's a couple key elements here.
Everybody's saying, hey, nice job Tennessee making a stand. I
got a little comment on that. Tennessee plays Florida usually
every year in October. Can you imagine if the game's
going the other way and Jiyce Hypel grab coach Hype
grabs a microphone and stands on the fifty yard line

(31:59):
and Illens Stadiums says, hey, it's okay, I made a
stand way back when. So I don't know what the
answer is. There are some interesting answers out there, but
this it happened. And think about this. Mark he threw
for two hundred yards in eight games or less two
hundred yards. He had won three hundred yard game, and

(32:20):
he threw for four yards against Ohio State in the playoffs.
So he had a good year. First first year starting quarterback.
But as a guy that's been involved almost forty years
in this game, I can't believe this happened.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Yeah, and they were discussion prior to them. They said,
both are really in a bad spot. The quarterback might
not get what he wanted, and then Tennessee's left to
try to fill the hole.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
I don't know if these people from the text Nation
here on the show know what they're talking about, but
they're saying that the murmur is he's only garnered one
point seven million to go to UCLA, And if you
think about the taxes in California, he was getting a
million at Tennessee. That really isn't a big step forward
at all. So I don't know if that number is true.

(33:08):
I'm just saying that's what people are throwing up on
the text line right now. Was he only getting a
million at Tennessee? Is that what I thought? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
the story we had yesterday had to Yeah, everything I've
heard about it said was it a million a year? Though?
I don't know, Yeah, that's maybe that's yeah, So anyway,
maybe the whole package was to me and I don't know, uh,

(33:30):
but that's so that that seems odd but whatever that,
that's not the point of what's going on. I mean,
that'll be interesting, But urban Meyer's point is really where
we need to focus, and that is, are the Tennessee
fans going to continue to say thank you for making
a stand when you're when you're sitting there in October
and you've gotten beaten by Florida and you've lost games,

(33:53):
and coach goes out to the fifty and says, hey,
remember I made a stand with Niko. Y'all y'all still
with us, right because you made a stand which I
think was right. Don't misunderstand me. But you also have
to understand, unless you can go find somebody in the
portal or one of these red shirt freshmen or true
freshmen come alive, you did lose a player with a

(34:15):
lot of upside. He didn't have a great first season.
They were talking about those numbers before we started, but
it seemed like he had a lot of upside. I
don't know. Well, you're just gonna have to say this
was the right decision, no matter how the team does,
if you're going to stand on saying this is the
this is the right thing to do, and we stand
on principle that we wouldn't let this player and his

(34:37):
daddy do this to the program, and we're trying to
set a precedent for this state of college football. Is
that added to you gonna last if you don't have
a good season?

Speaker 6 (34:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Yeah, Like I said, if you would like to make
a stand and have a good, better backup situation in place,
since your backup last year was a senior too, so
he's gone down. Of these two, obviously they're gonna try
to get somebody out of the portal, I'm sure. But again,
you make the stand, like you say, but your your
quarterback situation is not very good at all.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
But do you get get to a point as a coach?
And I mean, like did y'all well if your dad
was in a different era, But you go, I don't
care what situation when I'm getting out of this one.
This this is he this is a bip and I
ain't dealing.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
I ain't dealing. It's running.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Really, this whole thing here is just the beginning. It's
it's it's bad, bad for the game. Yeah. I agree
with all that, And I think some of you are
saying something that I thought of, honestly when I heard
the clip yesterday and saw it is that coach and
to me and hear me out in this particular conversation, coaches,
to me, don't, don't. It doesn't hold a lot of

(35:46):
water what they say, because they'll take more money and
leave a team in a second. True. So I'm just
gonna say that, and it's hard for them, okay. So
but I'm talking about the fans. I'm not talking about
the coaches. And I understand that came from a coach
who would take more money and leave. And just like
coaches do, there's not not a lot of loyalty from coaches.
So I get that, and so the players now don't

(36:08):
have any loyalty. I'm talking about the fans. I'm not
talking about coaches. I'm talking about are fans going to
be principal because the fans really if you look at
the state, and it's been this way for a while now.
Players didn't have the rights before, but when it comes
to the team, fans are the only people that seem
to stay with their team. Players don't. Coaches don't. Okay,

(36:32):
So I'm talking about the fans now. Fans can you know,
they have short memories. You know they'll they'll cheer you
one minute, boo you the next. But at least they
do they do, for the most part, stay with their team.
And so the question isn't for coach. The question is
to the fan. Is the fan gonna say this was

(36:54):
principled and good for our program and good for the
for college football, no matter our next season. That's what
Urban Myers asked King of Principals, Urban Meyer. That's what
I mean. I've been playing players and covering up murders
and stuff.

Speaker 11 (37:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Urban Meyer has no credibility, I'm asked. He's asking the
fans the question. Yeah, and it's legitimate.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
And I wonder if Tennessee goes looking off the numbers,
even though this guy's got a high ceiling and probably
will be in the NFL, do you think they're like, either,
we can find somebody that's less baggage and less expensive
that can run our offense and we be just as good.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Yeah. I think so.

Speaker 5 (37:33):
Here's a comment from a Tennessee fan on YouTube. Y'all
act like Tennessee doesn't know how to deal with a
bad season.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
We sucked for twenty.

Speaker 5 (37:41):
Years and we're just now peeking back into competitiveness. This
isn't nearly as big a deal for us as that's good.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
That's good, that is good. All right, well said, so
there you go again, not the source because urban Meyer
has no credibility. I got all that, but not what
he said makes I'm just talking about the question, no
matter who asked it, a question, we'll be back. And
looks like one of the tubers in the chat room
answered it. Partially.

Speaker 6 (38:10):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
So closing the Tennessee deal. So people are saying, yeah,
he was getting over two million a year, like it.
Some people were saying it was a three year deal.
Some people said it was a four year deal. Whatever,
it was big money. And don't know whether he's going
to he thought he was a four million dollar guy.
Nobody agrees with that. But he is gone, and he

(38:39):
probably is going to end up maybe getting less if
he goes to UCLA. But then they're going to talk
about and they've already started that. Well, we didn't want
to be in that offense anyway. We wanted to leave
for other reasons. And I will tell you this, no
matter how it turns out, I believe that if Hypel
told the truth, he is glad that he's gone. He

(39:02):
sounds like he and his dad were a cancer for
the team, and I think the Tennessee program is better
off without him. No matter what happens going forward, it
will it will be worth it. So we'll see how
that all turns out. And it's an interesting story to
follow for college football in its current state. A couple
other items. These are some of the bigger stories over

(39:25):
in the political world. A little bit. We'll do one.
Here's Whoopy Goldberg. Believe it or not, the view Goldberg
is saying Trump dismantling the Department of Education. She's not
totally against that.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
Oh, I can't believe. I'm about to just agree with her.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
Listen to woopster on so many things.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
I'm about to agree with Whoopy Goldberg.

Speaker 12 (39:47):
What we have to always do regardless of who you
voted for. You still got to pay your rent, you
still got to take care of your kids, you still
got to take care of your business. And maybe some
of what's happening, like you know, they're trying to take
a part the Department of Education, maybe that is a
good thing because maybe it will force us to make
sure that our kids actually get what they need. Maybe

(40:10):
it'll force us to go to our state and say, listen,
I want to make sure since you're taking all this
money from my taxes, I want to make sure that
my kids get exactly what they need. I don't have
to wait for the government to do it.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
We can do it.

Speaker 12 (40:24):
This is now in our hands. This is in our hands,
and it's going to be tough, and nobody wants to
do it because.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
It's a well, you know, because it's a pain in
the butt.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Yeah, I will agree, because this is one of these
many things that the government was never supposed to be handling.
We were supposed to be handling as communities, and we
farmed it out to the government and we have paid
a horrible price. And believe it or not, we'll be
Goldberger Greece. There was never we were never designed to
handle public education and have government schools, say the last government.

(40:59):
She just you're like, wow, welcome, we actually agree with Whoope, Yes,
it's happened.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
Welcome to the Libertarian party. Whoopee.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
I never thought I would say, you know, like Whoopy
was saying, Right, it's in our hands now, it's in
a state level, like Whoopy was saying. These the Democrats
are having problems right now. They try, They want so
hard to make us closing the border and deporting illegals
look bad. They've latched themselves to this guy in Maryland

(41:27):
and make the wrong one. Buddy, It is falling apart
for him. We'll start with the L Salvador president at first,
who who is saying, uh, no, no, he he belongs
here and not a good dude. He's not a good man.
And here is the L. Savador president explaining who he's
really worried about.

Speaker 5 (41:45):
And there's some there's some colorful worlds words in here,
but he makes some great points, not colorful cussing, but
you know what I mean.

Speaker 13 (41:51):
Yeah, okay, what about the human right for women not
to be raped? I mean, what about the human right
of kids to you know, to to to play, or
to be free or to be we'll go to the park.
And what about the human right to live? We're a
human right to walk in the street, right, And but no,
they were they were worried about the human rights of
the of the killers.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
Yeah, the labs attempt to make this a Maryland father. Uh,
it really has fallen apart now that we're finding out
the truth about this guy. Scott Jennings is going to
talk about what a disaster this is for the Democrats.
They the boy, they picked the wrong example.

Speaker 5 (42:29):
So here we go, and this back and forth is
very tense, but uh, Scott makes some great points here.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
Uh, this is courtesy of CNN.

Speaker 14 (42:37):
Like you said, there's due process that exists in this
country for everybody, and the fact that this man received
no due process was effectively disappear to the foreign country,
a country where she came from which he was basically
got He got a silent excuse me, No, he does
not live there, Scott, excuse me. He got asylum in
this country, citizen Scott doesn't.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
Excuse me. Let me finish somebody.

Speaker 14 (43:01):
Sorry, So he got asylum. He got a judge to
say that he could not be excuse me, he could
not be. Let me finish. He could not be he
could not be rendered back to El Salvator because he
was at risk of being harmed in El Salvador. But
that is what a federal by That is a federal judge.
That is what a federal judge. Who I'm not who
is at risk of excuse me, that was what a
federal judge says. He did he couldnt be who could

(43:23):
he be risk by I don't know the rival game.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
No, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 14 (43:28):
Excuse me, Scott, excuse me.

Speaker 3 (43:29):
Stuff.

Speaker 15 (43:29):
Do you believe that?

Speaker 3 (43:31):
Remember, because I've got to okay your heads of state. Okay,
a rival gang meaning he's in a gang. Yeah, a
rival gang.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
That implies, well, you found out he absolutely is tied
to m. S. Thirteen. He has all the tattoos and
the phrases they use. He his wife was beaten by
him on more than one UH incident and had was
trying to get protection because of how violent he was.

(44:05):
This guy is a bad, bad guy. As you said,
he was here illegally. He is not a citizen of
this country. And the Democrats you were trying to be sharp,
as Greg would say, and you tried to find somebody
that you thought we had sent back that shouldn't have
been sent back, and then you were gonna try to
dismantle the entire you know, policies, all the policies we

(44:27):
have in place right now to secure the border, talking
about how horrible they are, and you picked the wrong guy.
This person is a bad, bad dude, and he is
not the things that the Left portrayed. And now the
facts are coming out and it's completely tearing down their
presentation of him, and it just they're internal right now.

(44:50):
This is a classic shoot ready aim from the Democrats.
You went a motion and you didn't get your facts together,
and now it's blowing up on him.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
Yeah, and if a paper work issue, if that, if
that step was missed, I got that. But the guy
shouldn't be here. And then the El Salvador and president
says we ain't sending him back.

Speaker 1 (45:10):
They would send him back the cards by the Yeah,
if they don't send him back, we can't do anything.

Speaker 5 (45:14):
Correct once again, and and look at the murder rate
in El Salvador. It is absolutely plummeted because of the
efforts of president and it looks like Ukulele but with
a b bouquet or something like that, the president of
El Salvador. But he is putting gang members in prison
and the crime rate is dramatically dropping. El Salvador was
not a safe place at all, and now it has

(45:35):
one of the lowest murder rates in the UH in
the Western world.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
Oh yeah, that that prison that they've come up with,
that's a deterrent.

Speaker 3 (45:43):
Yeah, yeah, yes, people don't want to go there.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
You got it, Like animals. We're gonna treat you like animal.
That's right. So there's your update on a couple of items.
Top of the hour. When we come back. I know
what you've all been waiting for. Did Greg watch thousand
pounds Sisters? Yes? He did? Oh, yeah, he's got common Yes,
yes he did. Yes, we'll get his review right after this.

Speaker 6 (46:05):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Okay, So Greg, I know that we had a lot
of people that were saying, Greg, are you going to
be part of the new season one thousand pounds Sisters? Oh? Yeah,
Now they're no longer coming at a combined weight of
a thousand loss? They know were they were close to
a thousand apiece? Tammy was Oh they were over because Tammy, well,
they were over one thousand piece. She was between seven

(46:35):
and eight hundred.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
Put them together at one thousand pounds.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
Yeah, no, no, And that was Tammy. And now she's
down to like two thirty something. N Now she looks
like she's melting. Okay, she's made of wax and she's
slowly melting. That skin is a problem. Yes. You know
what's funny though, when you see somebody that large and
they're showing on and you look, they got like a
rage and tattoo. You're like, something about that tattoo and
that wrinkled up skin makes it worse. Yeah, it does,

(47:02):
but they didn't disappoint. You know, you got one brother.
And then there's four girls and the two Tammy and Amy?
Are you your main two that were the original? They are?
They all and they've all had bypassed. All four sisters
are large, one's not. They've all had the weight loss surgery.
But the one one, Miss, she's not. She's not overly,

(47:25):
you know, like and then Tammy, like, I say, she's
lost that way, but hey, lost skin is your brother larch?
He is, but he's also he's not only lost the weight,
he's had the skin removal. Okay, he's funny too, Okay,
but listen, I want to tell you if if if
the female bee word bothers, you don't watch it because
that's how they prefer to each other. Guy's funny. That's
how they talk. Oh yeah, they call each other the

(47:48):
bee work the good news. Amy's Amy's found a man
hope for just imagine that, and uh, I'd like to
see yes, and he is he actually surprising? He's kind
of looking is he no more acting. But see they
didn't feature him, like, oh, coming this season, it's going
to be more. And you know how these are behind.
You know, they film stuff and it comes out years later.

(48:09):
If you'll remember, we did a story on Amy getting
arrested at a petting zoo Tennessee where they got that
on her she actually gets bit by camel, but it
hadn't got to that. It started out that, then it
went through we did not get bit by Campbell last night. No,
we didn't get to that part of the show. And
then they go back and go through I think the car,
so they hadn't. It was something like that. But I'm

(48:31):
saying this year that incident is going to be featured
on the show. They showed her mugshot and everything. Okay,
it is nasty, that's a rough bike.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
Yeah, and so I guess this is being being filmed
that this is when she sent you that cameo yeah,
or well I don't but she had the purple hair.
And then shortly after that she got arrested and they didn't.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
Go into it. She screaming and all this, you know,
and they didn't go into it. But this is one
of these things that you wrote your windo down your
are and you have little cups of feet. I've been there. Yeah,
but why do they I mean, did I think about
camel's biting people? Is that or is this something?

Speaker 3 (49:08):
Is that butter? Or is that a person's skin?

Speaker 1 (49:10):
That's probably no. I think you're right. I think he
saw her flesh and thought that looks that looks yummy. Yeah.
And anyway, they went to a lake we had like
a you know, like a place people come swim and
they have obstacle course and all that they and got Max.
She can't do nothing, she says. Everybody leaves her out.
Everybody leaves because she she can't. You know, she can't

(49:33):
stand for long even though she's lost so much. Why
would you take then? Well, I guess for the show.
That's not a good place for them. Her brother's there
trying to do billy flops and stuff and pretty good.
It's funny. Oh my, what is that? That's Tammy? Yes?

(49:54):
Is that a float? Is that a float in the water? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (49:59):
I think that's her knee.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
She got.

Speaker 3 (50:04):
Body.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
You know why they can't do the skin removal yet? Wow,
because she hadn't quit vapon. You have to vakee if
you're vacant. Yeah, it causes look at that elbow.

Speaker 3 (50:16):
So much.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
She also revealed that she is now playing for the
other team. What you know, Tammy, she had a boyfriend,
She had a husband, Amy has a boyfriend. Amy has
a boyfriend. Tammy's husband died, and Tammy's decided she she's
going She's going to play for the American She claimed
years years ago she came out paying sexual I think

(50:40):
when you weigh about six seven hundred punds, no way
and cared. What does that mean you're up for anything? Yeah?
Does that means anything?

Speaker 6 (50:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (50:47):
She has with her ex husband. He died and I
said he was also husband.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
Greg's not her ex husband.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
I mean yeah, I mean there's so many stories in this.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
But y'all again back and almost go though, is that
going to run the show? Tammy? We're gonnare we're gonna
follow that that whole narrative. They didn't in this episode.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
But she's not.

Speaker 5 (51:12):
Her friends her friend Haley, they're not a couple, don't.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
I don't know they haven't. They didn't introduce her on

to get.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
She clarified, she's just friends with that girl that I
showed earlier.

Speaker 1 (53:58):
I think because we were also some just like the
camel Bite, we were getting us of things happening even
though it hadn't been on the show yet. Seems like
I saw an article where she got in with these
weird two weird women that are like spiritual leaders and
all that mystic stuff. Paula White. No, I'm just kidding,
but yeah, I think so that's probably one of them. Wow,

from from her brothers and sisters. Who is Dammy, it's
Tammy now going out on She just said, did the

pound sister up. Oh my goodness. Wow, more of the
Rick Birders show coming up right after this one thing.

Somebody wants to ask before we move into the next story. Greg,
does Lisa Lee watch this with you? Or is this
something you know you watch it to you go along?
See thinks it's funny. Okay, we'll get tackled watching it. Okay,
it's so it's just a lot of characters on. That's great.

(55:35):
It really sounds like this is almost like I don't
know why that I decided to go in the deck.
They are watching one thousand pounds sisters, they're excited. So
where did that come from her social media? Yeah, you
don't even know what your wife does on social media.
You have no idea even when you're included. How about

(55:57):
this fascinating story. Fascinating? Uh. In another you know, we've
had a couple of good news updates today. You know,
the South African pastor that was kidnapped has been brought
back to his family and those who took him were killed.
He he was not hurt at all. So that was
a great update. And here's a great update for a family.

(56:18):
Missing toddler walks seven crazy walks seven miles alone through
the Arizona wilderness. Yeah uh, and was led back to safety.
You won't believe the story. Here is NBC News out
of this part of Arizona with the story.

Speaker 3 (56:39):
I got an ad running twenty seconds.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
Okay, shirt, okay, but it really is. You set it
up beautifully two years over, Rick, that's Mary Hollis's if
you want to compare itson it's unbelievable. And the stuff
in the mountainous areas where they went, I mean, the
things you could have gotten. Yeah, all kinds of problems
just you know, just being a toddler going that many miles.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
So uh the story for the fact the dog's name
is Beauford, that makes it even better.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
Well, the Ranchers dog Buford comes into play in all this.
It's that's an amazing story. It sounds like Beauford just
has free Rome Ranch As I say, he helps keep
cowdies out like the big great parentees. Heck of a dog.

Speaker 3 (57:22):
To restart it, So once again I'm sitting Let.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
Me play let me play you a little bit of
audio Rick from my computer about this. This is uh,
this is I think the the Sheriff's office talking about it.

Speaker 6 (57:33):
Here.

Speaker 16 (57:34):
It's in their blood, you know, their guardians and stuff.
Way there, I see Buford coming down the deal right
there with a little little blonde haired boy with him.

Speaker 17 (57:41):
He was young and ended up wandering further than anyone
would have would have hoped, not only to be searched
on foot, but also there were some of the razors
and four by fours as well as we did make
use of some of the helicopters to make sure that
we were doing everything we could locate the child.

Speaker 3 (57:58):
Here's here's I don't know if you guys want.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
Ye, Yes, sure, that was a rancher, Scott Scottie Dutton.
And then Megan was with the Sheriff's office talking there
at the end.

Speaker 15 (58:07):
Beauford, the Anatolian parent niece. Look at that dog protect
the Dutty Ranch, walking the perimeter nightly to keep wildlife out.

Speaker 16 (58:15):
It's in their blood, you know, their guardians and stuff.

Speaker 15 (58:17):
But on Tuesday morning there was someone else Beuford protected.

Speaker 16 (58:20):
Way there, I see Buford coming down the deal right there,
with a little little blondhaired boy with him.

Speaker 15 (58:25):
That blondhaired boy's parents reported him missing the night before
after he wandered away from his home and soligmit.

Speaker 17 (58:32):
He was young and ended up wandering further than anyone
would would have hoped.

Speaker 15 (58:37):
The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office, alongside other agencies, conducted a
sixteen hour search for the two year old.

Speaker 17 (58:44):
Not only going to search on foot, but also there
were some of the razors and four by fours as
well as we did make use of some of the
helicopters to make sure that we were doing everything we
could locate the tile.

Speaker 15 (58:54):
It was Buford who found the toddler about seven miles
away from home, sleeping underneath a tree.

Speaker 16 (59:00):
There was a thousand ways for that to go, really
really bad and good way, and luckily it turned out
to be the good ways.

Speaker 15 (59:05):
The wonder of how would toddler managed to survive walking
through rugged terrain without sustaining more than a few scratches
will never fade for Scotty Dutton.

Speaker 16 (59:13):
There's three big canyons and ridges all the ways where
he came from. So it's a long, rough piece of country.
So it's amazing he made as far as he did.

Speaker 15 (59:21):
But Dunck knows, if it wasn't for Beauford, this happy
ending might never have happened.

Speaker 16 (59:25):
She's cooking him a steak for dinner tonight.

Speaker 15 (59:27):
You're kingman, Gabrielle. But here are twelve news today and easy.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
How about Beufford? Come on, how about Beauford. What a
great dust seven miles and that mountainous terrain Arizona Desert.
It was more than Beauford out there. Oh amen, Yeah, yeah,
we're seeing two supernatural things today and Beauford being you know,
being used in that way habit. But there's a bigger

(59:52):
play here for that. I mean, what about when you
look up and Beuford's doing his normal come on back
into the ranch, and he's bringing a toddler with him,
so he works to reim and he just had to
pick the toddle up, and then I guess this took
him back.

Speaker 3 (01:00:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:00:03):
I got lost when I was I guess five years
old or so in Texas. I was out on a
huge ranch and they had a dog too, and this
kind of worked the opposite way. I saw the dog
going for a walk and I just followed the dog,
and the next thing you know, we're both lost in
the woods on this thousand acre ranch, just out in
the middle of nowhere.

Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
I thought the dog knew where he was going.

Speaker 5 (01:00:26):
The dog and I walked around in circles in the
woods for like four hours.

Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
He was no Buford, he was no Beauford. He got lost,
he didn't know his way back. So you actually followed
the dog into being lost. Buford brought a child in
from being old.

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
Yes, yeah, you get.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
The one dog that's the opposite of Buford.

Speaker 5 (01:00:43):
My parents were riding around in the back of the
rancher's truck screaming, Chris, Chris, where.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
Are you for hours? Oh my gosh, for hours a
panic for them.

Speaker 5 (01:00:55):
And then I was just out in the middle of
nowhere and I see this red truck come around the
corner and they were like, hey, we found him.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
So that was he's got some dumb dog.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
Stupid. Yeah, I should not follow that dog into the world.

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
Not every dog's a Beauford.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
I just seen homeward bound.

Speaker 5 (01:01:08):
Really thought the dogs sure together a lot more than
the sure you did, so.

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
If I remember this, So they said that the kid
was under a tree sleep. So when Beauford comes walking up.
He probably doesn't know is this a friendly dog or
I mean you just see something coming at you. You know,
I have that kid had to be scared to death,
can you imagine?

Speaker 1 (01:01:29):
But then again, yeah, what a good boy. There you go,
Beauty to you. Ford brought him home too. Good news
stories today with the cat would have never done that, No, no,
it would have hit from you. He just licked his
palls and kept going. The cat would have liked, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
Waiting for you to die and eat your lips.

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
Exactly right. Canadians to me always come across as being
somewhat docile. This one got heated. Rick, Well, we got it.
We've got a fight involving some golfers. You know, golf
been a big topic lately since you know, Greg and
I started playing in the Masters.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
Look, slow play is a problem, and you can get angry, uh,
I mean straight up, it's it's an issue on some
of these courses where just two people are just taking
forever and there's nobody in front of them. There's a
there's you know, a hold you know that's I mean

(01:02:26):
like a fair way that's just empty in front of him.
You're like, what are y'all doing well. Apparently it got
heated when some of the other guys confronted the group
in front of him and said, man, y'all, y'all got
to speed it up, and were you in a rush
where you gotta be you know, hit the ball man.

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
We've been out here all day.

Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
And then all of a sudden, before you know it,
it gets into this fight where a guy gets his
jaw broke.

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
Now, I'll be honest, the guy that just shoved the
guy we saw, you know, you think he didn't farewell.
So you think guy here on the left speedy describe
he's the bigger, thicker guy. Right, he's not. He's not
really fatty. That's kind of stout. Yeah, he's about to
be shirtless. Okay, So this is this group says, y'all
are taking all day? Will you do it in some
kind of rush? By the way, I just thought about

(01:03:10):
you think this wouldn't drive me crazy?

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
And go oh yeah, And I think somebody's even mad
because that somebody hit into him and all that. And
so you've got two foursomes here and it's just it's
a it's an altercation that's verbal at first, but then
one guy gets power pushed and he says, hey, you
touched me. I owed you that, almost like we're good.
And the other guy says, all no, and and I

(01:03:33):
guess this lady that's video trying to call truce. Yeah,
the lady that's video and maybe wants to play through
or something, as she says at the end, but she
she catches it all. And there is some bleeping in this,
but you can hear the argument.

Speaker 1 (01:03:44):
All right, So this is all about an allegation of
slow play and somebody hitting into somebody. How are you
in a hurry? What you know? Okay, so here we go. Oh,
big big power, you missed that, you miss it? You
missed it at Yeah. So now they're dancing around. Yeah
we got big shot used to get his hands yeah yeah,

(01:04:07):
Oh big shovers getting here.

Speaker 13 (01:04:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:04:09):
Now he's about to get his shirt pulled off.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
Now yeah, these guys shirtless.

Speaker 1 (01:04:16):
Now the shirtless Okay, now this is that's where it's
joll and that's where the jall got brought there and
he's about to get hit again. Oh he walked into
another one. So now shirtless has gotta get his hands up.

Speaker 2 (01:04:29):
Now the shirtless guy, he knows he's hurt. Because he's
walking off. He's walking off. Now other guys, now.

Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
Big blueing everybody? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Big Blue is who's
this guy who's beard? This shirtless is? Oh, we missed that.
It's just so much that we're missing. But that's okay.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
But just the back and forth, gracious, it looks like
somebody else tries to come to their defense, and it's
just prescious.

Speaker 1 (01:04:55):
Do you think when it started that big shove and
and then he gets his I thought Power Push was
the guy that nobody wanted to mess with, But it
turns out to be Blue Shirt.

Speaker 3 (01:05:05):
Yeah, blue Shirts got a good cross.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
Yes, well I just picked up on something.

Speaker 3 (01:05:09):
This is the beginning of it. This is okay, Wait
a minute.

Speaker 1 (01:05:12):
Hey, why why why wouldn't Big Power Push get his
hands up?

Speaker 2 (01:05:16):
My goodness, it looks to me as though Blue okay,
we're gonna call him Blue.

Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
He's got the pointer out. He's the puncher. Yes, Blue
is confronting this guy at the cart and he's getting
in his face like you want a piece of mood.
Yeah you know, I said you want a piece of mood? Okay,
And then then all of a sudden, coming from this
way is the guy that wants to.

Speaker 2 (01:05:38):
He wants to defend the guy in his groove. And
then now go back a little bit. I'm sorry, go
back just a little bit. Now Blue is. Now he's
defending like he's in somebody's face. Here comes old Whitey.
He now Blue is about to push him.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
Yes, yes, okay, so then this is right well right there,
right there, and then push.

Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
So now he's gonna power push him, going, hey, you
pushed me. You I owed you that, you know. And
then so here we go.

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
Now it's on push pushing, but it's about to be
a power push. Yes, guy here is in the group,
there's a lady. She's screaming, can we just go? Can
we stop? Oh my god? And then he gets pushed like, hey,
I don't like you touching me.

Speaker 6 (01:06:17):
Get up my way.

Speaker 1 (01:06:18):
You play slow. And then then now this guy goes,
oh you put your hands on me. It's on right,
And so now we're dancing. Here we go. Now we're dancing,
and then the broke jaw.

Speaker 3 (01:06:29):
It takes two to tango.

Speaker 1 (01:06:30):
Who thinks the broke jaw was the first punch? I
think it may have been the second one.

Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
It was the last one.

Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
I think it was. Yeah, I think Addler's right. I
think it might have been the last one.

Speaker 3 (01:06:38):
And when he went it's away. He says, oh I'm hurt,
all right?

Speaker 1 (01:06:41):
Yeah yeah, yeah. Suddenly he's just.

Speaker 3 (01:06:43):
Get your hands up. My goodness, they're by your belt.

Speaker 8 (01:06:45):
What do you do?

Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
Get your hands up?

Speaker 1 (01:06:47):
Yes, and now you do it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:48):
Look through your hands, Look through your hands.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
The fact that everybody's letting them fight means that everybody
was mad.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
Everybody was mad. Shirtless. Yeah, now we're go back.

Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
Yeah, got a punch in.

Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
Yeah, Oh no, that's.

Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
That hammer swinging right there with all the reason he
got to punch it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
Somebody was holding Watch this terrible effort. Watch this terrible effort, guy,
and that might have got him. He went down to
the ground. I think it's one. I think it's that
one too.

Speaker 3 (01:07:16):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
Right he walks away right in the You gotta give
blue shirts some credit. He stemps into his punches. Does
Beard from nowhere? It was Beard, the original guy. Now
you didn't have a hat on, I don't think No,
No Beard. Beard looks like he might have been in
another group or something. I don't know. Look, No shirt's
walking off.

Speaker 2 (01:07:36):
Yeah, he's he's bad, hurt, he's walking off to have
a minute. So still got his shirt off, and I
love the lady screaming, come on, guys, we got to
play through.

Speaker 3 (01:07:43):
She goes in her Canadian accent. Let's take it down
a nuts, guys.

Speaker 1 (01:07:49):
Yeah, so wow, he's sir uh for hockey.

Speaker 2 (01:07:51):
Look, so it was Monday night and and they says
it's Monday night blanking golf. One angry golfer is heard
screaming in the video and then it says you in
a rush where you got to be. It says you
you've been hitting up on us all day.

Speaker 1 (01:08:07):
Oh there's the accusation.

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
Yes, and so that makes everybody mad.

Speaker 1 (01:08:11):
What's wrong with you? Blah blah blah. Take your time
where you got to be. It's just golf and enjoy yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:08:17):
You know, it's been taking four and a half hours,
way too blank and long to play golf out here.
So you got somebody that's taken a long time. And
then they get mad because somebody's hitting into him. It
was just a mess.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
Let me tell you, big fellow better. He lost his
shirt better better known as power Power Shove. I mean
to see him get beat by a guy who not
only has khaki pants on and a golf shirt, a
tucked in golf shirt. Yeah, and that's that's just embarrassing.

Speaker 3 (01:08:46):
This is stupid.

Speaker 1 (01:08:47):
Yeah, I don't know what that hammer punch he tried
to pull when he did the back spin punch.

Speaker 3 (01:08:52):
Yeah, he tried to hit him with a spinning back
fist and yeah, not good.

Speaker 1 (01:08:55):
He missed by speeding. How the Canadians talk man? One
thousand accents and what not? Sure, but you've been hitting
the bus, old d. What's your problem. That's that's rocky,
that's rocky, piece of meat.

Speaker 3 (01:09:07):
That's yeah, that's not Canada.

Speaker 1 (01:09:09):
No, that's not it, buddy, Well you got be No
that what was that? No, we're on the streets, deaf.
I won't I don't even get out here. Okay, this
is what you're a wise guy? Right, it's terrible. You
got come to say under my car. No, that's not it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:29):
I don't know what's happening with that, right, so I.

Speaker 1 (01:09:31):
Will tell you, like I'm there. I don't know. I
don't know why power Shove doesn't get his hands up,
but he cost him did. He walked into two horrible punches.
He took a pop at him though, when they were
holding Big Blue, he took a pop at him. He did.
When you look at it, you think, well, this guy
is going to dominate.

Speaker 2 (01:09:47):
His mind was angry, but his body couldn't keep up. No,
he's just left himself open. Yeah, we'll be back, all right,
shows we there aren't the hour. A couple of things
to cover from the text Nation. Funny guys, I tried
that approach that you mentioned, telling my wife that I

(01:10:08):
love her just the way she is, and then she
looked at me and said.

Speaker 1 (01:10:11):
Yeah, you like them fat. Sadly, her response was in
reference to some of the bigger girls I dated before her,
So be careful, Be careful if you ever established a
standard of big women. And then you tell you your
current wife, who was not a big woman, I like
you just like you are. She's going to take that
that you've fallen back to your old ways of dating

(01:10:34):
big women. So I didn't even think about that. I mean,
that person has a situation there. Maybe you need to
stay away from that. We do have a bride speaking
of women today, we've got a bride video fourteen there
at their bodycam footage. We have a bride in Florida
late for her own wedding or there's a lot of
jokes there. Yes, there's a lot of jokes. The bride

(01:10:57):
being late for your own wedding. Oh we have we
have a package. She gets stopped going one hundred and
five miles an hour to her own wedding one hundred.

Speaker 2 (01:11:08):
Luckily she's not the driver, it's just someone that's helped
her bride. But she's in her wedding dress. Okay she is, Yeah,
all right, so here we go. This is Curtis.

Speaker 1 (01:11:18):
She looks like of something called Today in Florida and
you know so on some of Erica.

Speaker 4 (01:11:22):
Going to the chapel on your wedding day, of course,
is a big moment. One bride underestimated just how long
it would take to get there.

Speaker 1 (01:11:28):
Of course, Thanks, what time is it?

Speaker 10 (01:11:34):
We're at it, so you're already late.

Speaker 1 (01:11:38):
This is bodycam footage from the office.

Speaker 3 (01:11:41):
Just give him minute. I'll let you take her.

Speaker 13 (01:11:43):
But I'm going to give you a cord date. I'm
gonna it's a monatory court appearance, all.

Speaker 1 (01:11:47):
Right, So get this.

Speaker 4 (01:11:49):
Port Saint Lucy police clocked a driver going one hundred
and five miles an hour in a forty five mile
way speed zone. Turns out that driver was the wedding gay,
that's the bride. As you see, they're writing shotgun. They
were already fifteen minutes late for the wedding. Police did
let the two go, but as you heard, the driver

(01:12:09):
now has a mandatory court appearance.

Speaker 1 (01:12:12):
Wait a minute, you're way, dude late. I wanted to
hear that's her brother. Yeah, I wanted to hear that's family,
your cousin, pooky. All all I heard was wedding guest.

Speaker 3 (01:12:32):
That's all I heard, too, And that's my first thought.

Speaker 1 (01:12:34):
And the two of them are late. The bride anybody
ever known kind of a guilty look on her hair,
looks a little messed up. Oh it's this is uh
one last. That's not y'all. I don't know what happened there,
but it does not look or sound good. Fifteen minutes late.

(01:12:57):
That's a long time. Oh yes, now you're a wedding now. Yeah,
you're supposed to be their way ahead of the time.

Speaker 2 (01:13:02):
Normally you have like wedding day pictures. You're at the
venue early, right.

Speaker 1 (01:13:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:13:07):
Oh, he looks so guilty. He's just got it. Maybe
because he was going one hundred and five.

Speaker 1 (01:13:13):
That's it, And you know she was probably hurry, hurry, please, hurry.
I love my husband to be that's.

Speaker 3 (01:13:19):
You would hope.

Speaker 1 (01:13:20):
So I love him so much. I'm riding around with
another dude fifteen minutes late for the wedding. Maybe they're
friends and she was stuck, she had clearly in the way.
He came and picked her up. Maybe in the wedding
he's got a tux on. He's got a tux on.
You better be gay and would help. Maybe he's the
best man, and the and the groom said please go
get her. And and there's no history, none whatsoever of

(01:13:40):
a of a groomsman who goes bad. No, it's not good,
not good. Better watch that wedding party in the blessed day.
You better watch that wedding party. Yes, now this when
they get to drink. Let's say, let's say that you're
the dude, you're the groom. Okay, you now see this story,
and you see you. But because she probably knows him,

(01:14:01):
unless it was somebody, yeah yeah, and you see whoever
this person is driving your wife, your bride, and they're
in that car together and they're running late. It just
doesn't maybe perfectly innocent, but it just doesn't look good. Well,
I mean, did the wedding, sneak up on them. They
ahead of time? What time to be there? Right?

Speaker 3 (01:14:23):
So y'all got pulled over on the way here. That's
a crazy story. Man. Yeah, what were y'all doing before that?

Speaker 17 (01:14:32):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:14:32):
Why were you gonna later?

Speaker 1 (01:14:37):
I'm glad you heard. Why were you riding with him?
And why was he late? And you're late, both of
you in the wedding. You're the bride. Why are y'all
both late? Their car break down? I mean, didn't y'all
expect when y'all told me the story? I honestly expected
to see one of the women in the wedding, or
just a woman attending the wedding or family, or a
feminine man.

Speaker 3 (01:14:58):
Well, I'd like to do him to be more feminine.

Speaker 1 (01:15:00):
Wow, Yeah, I got news for you. If he if
he plays for other teams, he doesn't have your normal presentation. Yeah,
and the hell look those are out there?

Speaker 4 (01:15:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:15:07):
Oh yeah, yeah, like President Trump said, you don't look gay.
You remember that, you guys don't remember.

Speaker 1 (01:15:14):
I don't know. It was like this.

Speaker 5 (01:15:16):
He was at a rally or something to mar Alago
and he was what about games for Trump?

Speaker 3 (01:15:20):
And the games for Trump here?

Speaker 5 (01:15:21):
And some guy in the back goes yeah me, and
Trump goes, you don't look gay?

Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
How did I forget that? Anyway?

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
Right, So the ceremony back to the wedding.

Speaker 1 (01:15:34):
Listened from the text nation. They said, they look on
the guest book and it simply says Joe, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:15:42):
I love text me dude friendly Henry.

Speaker 2 (01:15:46):
So the ceremony was supposed to be at two thirty.
They were stopped at two forty two. Come on, yeah,
they were still ten miles away from the venue. So
they were gonna be a good, you know, twenty minutes
late best, going one hundred and five miles an hour
through forty five.

Speaker 1 (01:16:06):
Well, what they did say that, like night Greg, that
Clarion In was far enough away it wouldn't draw attention.
But then they realized long way to the wedding. Yeah,
that's true.

Speaker 3 (01:16:15):
Where are y'all coming from? Yeah nowhere?

Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
Wait minute, honey, y'allard how far away? Well it's about
ten miles. It is a pretty wedding dress though. See
Oh she's a beautiful bride.

Speaker 4 (01:16:24):
She is.

Speaker 1 (01:16:24):
If you don't believe me, just ask Jodie. So uh
trick so the uh but it's uh it is that
doesn't trying to find out more about it. Maybe perfectly fine.
One one theory from text nation. One theory could be
that they're making up the time of the wedding's trying
to get out of the ticket. Yeah, maybe maybe that's it.
They're not. Hey, that's a good theory. I kind of,

(01:16:46):
I kind of I think I want to go there. Yeah.
I still don't know why this guy's giving her the ride.
I still don't know that. But surely there's women around. Yeah, seriously,
her racing to the ultimate So who thinks that this
has caused a problem in the early days of the wedding.
A lot of good stuff the marriage, it's a lot
a good start. Well, that'll go, that'll go on the honeymoon.
Where call you late? M hm? How many times does

(01:17:09):
she try to divert away from it too? Okay? Yeah, no,
I'm glad we're there. I love you so much. And
wedding would be like, I want to go back, now
why were you? Yeah? I mean how many times is
he gone back and said, no, now you you were
cutting the kind of clothes you and Pooky? What what
was going on there? Yeah? You know, I don't Where
are the girls? I mean, where are her friends? Them
drive he's late and you're late. Yeah, you know it

(01:17:31):
was he You're right all along. I don't remember, don't
get it. A lot of questions, lots and lots of questions.

Speaker 3 (01:17:37):
I've heard of racing to the altar, but this is ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (01:17:41):
Well they were given a court date. Yeah, immediate court day.
He was a little one hundred and five and a
forty five. That's a problem. They ain't gonna give you
a warning from the.

Speaker 2 (01:17:49):
Really, the officer probably showed grace there on letting him
go because he probably could have taken him in.

Speaker 1 (01:17:54):
Yep, that's a that's that's real fast. Yeah, that's that's fast.

Speaker 5 (01:17:58):
Yeah, if you get pulled over going eighty or over
in most states is a mandatory appearance.

Speaker 18 (01:18:04):
Yea.

Speaker 6 (01:18:05):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (01:18:12):
I mean a couple of times. I don't remember much
about it. I found it to be when you're saying
something like what a burger like I was supposed to go? Yeah,
it just didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:18:22):
It was all right, Yeah, I like Burger, Kingsburger and
Sonics Burger. I prefers.

Speaker 3 (01:18:28):
Yes, good.

Speaker 1 (01:18:29):
I can't remember last time I did that. You know,
you'll find this out Adler when kids. When you become
an empty nester, you don't get to, unfortunately, benefit from
your kids bad eating. Do you understand what I'm saying?
What do you what are you doing it? Sonic kids?
What the kids wanted?

Speaker 6 (01:18:45):
Yes, I gotta go to the kid.

Speaker 1 (01:18:46):
Yeah, I'll I'm gonna get me something while I'm here.
Are you getting that chili dog again? I mean, I
guess I've never been that impressed with their menu. Son Oh,
come on, you're crazy like dessert stuff. Yeah, but anyway,
the burgers are good. Burger king. Uh, they're they're they're
they're they're filing for bankruptcy. A lot of their major
franchises more being shut down. So here's what I want

(01:19:10):
to ask you guys. When it comes to the fast
food industry, people people are losing crystals here and there,
the old gut bomb. Yeah, I know. Our first thought
is America is getting healthier. But I don't think that's
it because I because I'm I live in the biggest
problem is worker There you go, you just hit on it.

(01:19:30):
I think that's the problem. I think what you need
to run a fast food restaurant, the type of employees
you need are hard to find, and if they are
any good Chick fil A got them, It's true, And
in fact, the prices are a lot higher if I
pay this.

Speaker 2 (01:19:48):
So you got, you got poor service, you got a
lengthy time waiting on the food at a high price.

Speaker 1 (01:19:54):
Nobody seems to care.

Speaker 2 (01:19:55):
Yeah, nobody cares, and they're mad that you are even there.

Speaker 1 (01:19:59):
The windy is what I also like. Yeah, Burger King
where we're from, both shut down. And I believe it's
because the last few times I went there there was
two people in the whole place trying to do it all. Yep,
they couldn't mean and the weight was horrible. Yeah, and
they just didn't have people. Yeah. Over, So that's so McDonald's.
McDonald's has got to announcement day. But Burger King in trouble.

Speaker 2 (01:20:20):
They're in trouble now that a lot of folks say
they just built up, built too many Burger Kings all
at once could be you know, and it's just there
was just too many stores could be.

Speaker 1 (01:20:29):
Now these one in Anniston, it's really nice, big, big.
But here here's what I don't get over on the
McDonald's side in our fast food segment today, Over on
the McDonald's side, am I and some you scream, yes, Rick,
you are. Do I not recall, so I'll say it
that way. Do I not recall us doing this snack
wrap thing? Even back at the and the final few
months of the Rick and bubbuship, it went away, right. Well,

(01:20:52):
here's another story today that their fans are celebrating the
return of discontinued menu item as fast food giant hits
at least date. And you look in on McDonald's, like,
what are they talking about the snack wrap twenty twenty five.
Haven't they already done a snack wrap returns hype only
like maybe six seven months ago? I do, Yeah, yeah,

(01:21:13):
I mean, so I don't. I guess nobody cared. So
we're doing it again? Yeah, I mean when I know,
I know, I know some of you disagreed the last
time they did this. They say, it's been five long
years since the rap was what we did talk about this?
I remember because I remember, I said, I thought it
was an exaggeration in the headline that everybody remember that

(01:21:36):
it was coming. Maybe maybe just now here, Maybe it's
just now here. Maybe this is the now final it's here.
It's great about it. It's a snack wrap and it's
at McDonald's. I don't go to McDonald's for a snack wrap.
If I'm going to McDonald's, I'm coming off the rails. Yeah,
I'm going with the double quarter pounder. But I you know,
I can't remember last time I hate a McDonald's. And
I'm gonna tell you another one that went down in

(01:21:57):
our area that I loved was Hearty's. They got the
That's breakfast. I mean, they were the original breakfast biscuits.
It's very passionate about that. They were the first ones
to do it and where we grew up. Anyway, none
of the other fast they did open to ten thirty.
They opened up early and they had biscuits and everybody
went nuts, and they got a pretty good burger. If

(01:22:17):
they shut every one of them with that out pass them,
they're all shut out, right. But I think it's employees.
I don't think it's there's no market for it. I
don't know, because I still think there's of course, back
to what you said said, I think one two things
you need better employees to have fast food restaurants. And
fast food's supposed to be cheap, easy to get food.
And when it becomes when it becomes it's not cheap
and it's not easy to get. You've lost the whole

(01:22:38):
contin right got for you and what they're asking to
be paid to work there. We've discussed that, and the
Chick fil A just keeps moving forward in this industry.
And they if you if you owned a they don't
even go to five guys. I know it's not it's
not straight up fast food because you actually have to
go in. But I'm just going to tell you you

(01:23:00):
don't want to win your at place. They'll give you
enough price to heal a nation, but I mean, at
some point do you need that many frus you going there?
You're going to more than two people. You're gonna take
out a ninety day note. It's unreal. And it is
a good burger, I'll give them that.

Speaker 5 (01:23:11):
And with fast food being the prices that they're having,
you might as well go to maybe a not fast
food restaurant. I mean, the prices are so similar you
go in there and say Chinese instead.

Speaker 1 (01:23:23):
We could have gone to the restaurant with the Frank
Beard Award winning you know, chef, or we could have
had five guys, right, I mean it's.

Speaker 2 (01:23:29):
The same price, yeah, crazy, Yeah, And maybe at a
loss to start going back down. I doubt it, but
you're right if you start pricing things out. Now, a
lot of times fast food is just there for convenience. Hey,
I'm in a hungry I'm on the road.

Speaker 1 (01:23:41):
I can't stop. You know.

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
But if you own a fast food restaurant that wasn't
Chick fil A, and you own it in a small
city or whatever, I would just commit to going. You
know what, we're going above and beyond. I'm hiring more people.
Service is going to be top notch, and I think
you'll in the in the in the long run, you'll benefit.

Speaker 1 (01:23:59):
I don't think they have a concept fast food workers
that if you're if we're going to pay you more,
we even expect more out of you. Yeah, you're getting
paid more and you're doing your job worse.

Speaker 6 (01:24:08):
Right, this is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (01:24:16):
With all the things going on. Uh, this make America
healthy again with that or you're doing it well? I know,
and I know this has started a war because it's
something that the Trump administration is doing. Uh. The people
who are upset about it. If if their political party
were doing this, it would be the greatest thing ever.

(01:24:38):
And all of us are backward if for not getting
on board, it's it's hilarious how these things have no
consistency whatsoever. But anyway, so this this question there, every
time it comes up, it's it's a hot topic. People,
people get upset, people start mad, everybody's mad about it.
But here's what I would say to all of you
out there, our brothers and our sisters. Okay, one of

(01:25:02):
the greatest ways to observe any topic is to actually
let your own eyes and your own experience help you
with what you think is true and not true. We
can think for ourselves, we can critically think, and hopefully
we can hear opposing views and take that in and

(01:25:22):
say I'll consider that as well. But I hope there's
no one just from our own observation. We all certainly
agree that the number of children and people in the
autism spectrum has skyrocketed. I can observe that with my

(01:25:43):
own eyes. I mean, I've been through, you know, dealing
with children in church and coaching and and seeing generations
of children, because I have children that are in their
mid thirties, you know, and all the way down to
to children that are in their early twenties. And I've
watched just within the gap of those children, this go

(01:26:08):
through the roof, and so then you get to the
so I hope that's not even up for debate. Now
we can say the numbers that that AREFK Junior is
putting out. I don't agree with those numbers. Whatever, Can
we agree that it's on the increase. I think we
can agree with that. And now here comes the bigger question.

(01:26:28):
And I don't pretend to know. I have some theories,
and I think some of the theories have some standing.
Is what's causing this? Why? Yes, I agree with text
nation allergies that are all time high, I mean, just
through the roof. Everybody's allergic to everything. And immune systems

(01:26:50):
for kids seem to be terrible, when at one time
that was some of the strongest immune systems out there
because they get dirty and they interact with other other children,
and you know, now it's my kid goes to daycare
and we're sick all the time, as opposed to my
kid goes to daycare and has developed a strong immune system.
So so why is that?

Speaker 10 (01:27:10):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:27:10):
I don't pretend to have that answer, but RFK and
he got a little emotional about this, and again you
may not sound well right, You may not know you
were going to say that. You may not agree with
his numbers, but I think we all agree something's going on.
I hope, because that just seems common sense.

Speaker 5 (01:27:26):
And before the emotional I do have a quick numbers
clip too, if you guys want that.

Speaker 1 (01:27:30):
Numbers don't lie. Yeah, well it's you got to know
how you got to these. When you declare somebody, this
is the thing you get to Well, we've broadened the spectrum.
And I don't agree with any of that. By the way,
I don't think that, oh well, we just know more
about it now. I do not agree with that. But yeah,
I know numbers can be manipulated too. But the bottom
line is we got a problem and we don't know what.
We have not found the answer yet. Yeah, so here

(01:27:52):
we go.

Speaker 18 (01:27:53):
ASD prevalence rate and is now one in thirty one.

Speaker 3 (01:27:58):
One in thirty nine.

Speaker 18 (01:28:01):
There is an extreme risk for boys. Over all, the
risks for boys if getting it doesn't diagnosed. This in
this country is now one in twenty one in twenty
and it's high in California, which has the best DAID
of collection. So it probably also reflects a national trend.
One in twelve point five boys.

Speaker 3 (01:28:16):
One in twelve in California.

Speaker 18 (01:28:19):
This is part of an unrelenting upward trend. The prevalence
two years ago was one in thirty six. Since the
first eighty d M report in nineteen ninety, which was
nineteen ninety two, berths autism has increased by a factor
of four point eight. It's four hundred and eighty percent.
I believe the first eighty d M and the survey
was twenty two years ago when prevalence was one in
one in one hundred and fifty children. Oh god, and

(01:28:40):
all the course dates, the trend is consistently upward.

Speaker 1 (01:28:44):
Okay, the trends, Oh my goodness going on? Not that bad.
It's an upward tree. Let me ask, can we get
a spokesperson? That's what I cannot the trend? Yes, voice,
Can we get a spokesperson? Did you make for make
a for make America healthy again? Can we just have
a spokesperson? RFK Junior, can go do all the research
you can do? Can we just have a spokesperson? And

(01:29:05):
if he wants to stand on him, inside him and
do his head like this, that's fine, makes not hands out? Yeah,
So because I'll be honest, when y'all I heard nothing
and again't help it. I get that.

Speaker 3 (01:29:20):
So y'all do want to hear another clip of its
normal speed?

Speaker 1 (01:29:22):
Now could you read it to won't you just give
me the number?

Speaker 3 (01:29:24):
Yeah, okay, I.

Speaker 1 (01:29:25):
Heard the numbers.

Speaker 3 (01:29:26):
I'll tell you what he said. In fact, people are
giving him go for this, but it's true.

Speaker 5 (01:29:30):
He said that this is a this autim autism epidemic
is devastating our children. These are children who not who
should not be suffering like this. These are kids who,
many of them were fully functional and then regressed because
of some environmental exposure, uh when they were around two
years old.

Speaker 3 (01:29:48):
Uh, it's it's sad.

Speaker 5 (01:29:49):
These are kids that are never hold a job, A
lot of them maybe never play baseball, never write a poem,
maybe never go out on a date. And some of
them can't even use the toilet unassisted. This an insane,
heartbreaking message that's devastating our children and our children are
the future and that whole thing.

Speaker 1 (01:30:08):
Did you just say our children are our future?

Speaker 5 (01:30:10):
I'm trying to summarize this. One thing that people are
jumping on is that he paints these kids as as
suffering and in a lot of cases they are, and
people are firing back saying my autistic child can do
this and that that's not what he's talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:30:24):
Varies wildly inside the spectrum. That verries, there's high functioning,
there's aspergers. It varies wildly. Bottom of the hour will
be right back, all right. So a couple of things
we haven't hit on yet. We have the umpire and

(01:30:46):
I guess the last name you say is window Stet.
I say the hunter. Windelstet had to leave the Mets
Twins game after getting drilled in the head by foul
ball in a very very scary scene. So you know,
is the baseball players and you know, get bigger, stronger, faster,
and the pitchings faster than ever. The hitting coming off

(01:31:10):
the bat at velocity that is mind blowing, no pun intended.
If you're in the field right now, and you better
keep that head on a swivel or sitting on down
the third baseline the first base line in the crowd.

Speaker 2 (01:31:26):
Well, the coaches have it in the coaches box, they
have the small helmet, they have the helmets on right.
And so now the discussion is do do umpires need them?
Because I mean they're they're right around that same area.

Speaker 1 (01:31:35):
So he gets hit in the back of the head.

Speaker 2 (01:31:38):
Saw it he turned I guess so, but it was
it really was a scary scene. Oh no, it looks
like to me he's standing there and he tries to
it's above the ear almost, so it's really side of
the head.

Speaker 1 (01:31:51):
Yeah, that's where.

Speaker 5 (01:31:52):
You don't want to get him.

Speaker 3 (01:31:54):
Behind the ear, You're that's really where.

Speaker 1 (01:31:56):
It hit it. Yeah, that's really bad that they not
wear helmets right there.

Speaker 2 (01:32:01):
I don't know, it's probably.

Speaker 1 (01:32:03):
Gonna end up being that they do. But you say,
see how he it's on him so fast his body
is behind it, can't even catch up to it. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:32:12):
And people are saying it's because he made such a
terrible call earlier in the game.

Speaker 1 (01:32:17):
Run Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:32:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:32:19):
The crowd cheered when he when he got hit.

Speaker 3 (01:32:21):
Look how bad that is.

Speaker 1 (01:32:22):
Yeah, that's not good.

Speaker 3 (01:32:23):
That's so bad.

Speaker 1 (01:32:25):
And there's one two. Yeah, don't they can they can't
they review that? And they did? I guess, I don't.
I don't know the situation.

Speaker 3 (01:32:35):
I just know that that they didn't review this.

Speaker 1 (01:32:38):
Are you calling baseball karma?

Speaker 3 (01:32:40):
I think so, Joe look at them looking at it.

Speaker 1 (01:32:43):
Well, as you know that some of the crowd cheered
when he went down because of that call. Was this
in New York? You better believe they did if it's
in New York? Or are they playing in Minnesota?

Speaker 3 (01:32:53):
The Twins did score a run on that play?

Speaker 1 (01:32:56):
Yeah, yeah, but I mean back to I mean, what
really matters? Scream?

Speaker 2 (01:33:00):
I mean in all, in all seriousness, I mean, that's
that's a bad scene right there. That guy he ended
up getting back up on his feet, believe it or not,
and was assisted off the field, which was really crazy
after seeing him get hit that way.

Speaker 1 (01:33:14):
But I think we are going to see.

Speaker 2 (01:33:16):
Some some ump helmets, probably very similar to what the
first base coaches and third base coaches are wearing now.

Speaker 1 (01:33:23):
Just something that I mean, not like a mask like this,
but it's a lively ball out.

Speaker 2 (01:33:27):
Of something that covers, you know, like a baseball hat,
but just a.

Speaker 1 (01:33:30):
Hard hat, lively ball, lively.

Speaker 2 (01:33:33):
Hey, you were talking about it, Rick, You you hear
some of these MLB guys and really even college players too.
Some of the exit velocity on these bats, some of
them up to one hundred and fifteen miles an hour,
and you know that's think about something coming at you
that fast.

Speaker 1 (01:33:51):
Yeah, tough to react. Now, that's uh, that's tough. The
you know it was, you know it was funny because
now you can bring out all this old footage, old
baseball foods, and they can enhance it and get it clear.
Now I saw I guess him yesterday Babe Ruth was
batting and the picture went to hit him, you know,
and baby, as soon as it hit him, baby goes

(01:34:12):
down the first baseline one rubbing it off like a
little flea got on him or something. It was hilarious
and so we'll see. Also, Greg, do you remember Haley
Joel Osmond.

Speaker 3 (01:34:26):
Found that clip?

Speaker 1 (01:34:26):
By the way, No you didn't. Oh here's watch watch baby,
watch this watching go down the first stage line, I
go number three. Do you notice something about that that's
just so amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:34:42):
You look at old football footage with the leather helmets
and stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:34:46):
He's standing up there with no helmet on. Now he
just batting, covering your head up, batting and a cap,
just batting in the cap. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:34:53):
And he's got the body of my grandfather for some reason.

Speaker 1 (01:34:55):
Yes, yes, and just hitting long bombs, no evo shields,
covering up your elbow.

Speaker 3 (01:35:01):
Or getting dingers all day long.

Speaker 1 (01:35:03):
Now, I mean ripping them too. Yes, that body armor
on now. And it was a different time in so
many ways. You've heard this probably many times, but you
know now, you know, journalists are out to destroy anybody
that they can. But in those days, they protected these
American icons. I mean they would protect them because it was,

(01:35:23):
you know, so important to the league and all that
to have these heroes. And the story goes that they
would travel by train. Uh you know that they they
whenever they would go out, you know, they put the
New York Yankees or whoever on the train and the
press would be on there with them. Who was covering
the Yankees, you know that was going with them. And
the story is that they were two journalists and they
were eating dinner and Babe Ruth comes down the middle

(01:35:44):
of the train running and nothing but boxer shorts being
chased by a woman with a knife. And one looks
at the other and said, well, I'm glad we didn't
see that. We'd have to report it. Yes, a big
different times, but it was a bit of a round her. Yeah, yeah,
you've enjoyed the highlight he did. Uh, Haley, Joel Osmond,
do you remember this this kid I saw dead? Pepy

(01:36:07):
was in something else to second hand line, secondhand lines.
He's been, he's been a good bit of stuff. Yeah.
The child child actor now Forrest Gump.

Speaker 6 (01:36:17):
Yes, he's a little.

Speaker 1 (01:36:18):
Boy, He's a little Forest. Yeah. And so he's he's
now far as his son, Yeah, the son Dan. That
was produced Jen in a way that felt like it
was over the line.

Speaker 16 (01:36:30):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:36:30):
His first movie was Forrest Gump.

Speaker 1 (01:36:32):
Yeah, so he's little Forrest, the offspring of Forrest and
the heroin attic. Yeah, that's right. What was her name, Jenny? Jenny, Jenny.

Speaker 3 (01:36:43):
He's the villain of the movie, by the way, absolute villain.
Nobody admits it, but she's the villain.

Speaker 1 (01:36:48):
Broke she broke his heart.

Speaker 3 (01:36:49):
Yeah, my goodness, Jenny.

Speaker 1 (01:36:54):
You know that Forrest's special needs.

Speaker 3 (01:36:56):
Still she's the villain.

Speaker 1 (01:36:57):
Okay, the you run know the But anyway, he's now.
The actor is thirty seven and unfortunately has now been
cuffed and stuffed at a mountain ski area in eastern California,
craking it up a little bit. He got the party
in public intoxication. Uh you think when him and his

(01:37:20):
friends getting lift, they they all start yelling at him.

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
I see dead people, right, Yeah, guys are trying to
get him see more drinks.

Speaker 1 (01:37:30):
I see peers empty. Greg. I certainly don't want to
indorse this behavior, but there's a line in here that
for some reason hearkens back. Greg. He was charged with
being an unruly skiers got to cut up on the sloan,

(01:37:50):
and I think he got sick publicly. Oh, I think
he was. I think he was a thought. No, that
kind drew the right, Yeah, so that he was.

Speaker 4 (01:38:02):
He was.

Speaker 1 (01:38:03):
People were shouting, stopped the unruly ski we got among us,
always hurling right. Well, hopefully this is a one off.
Hope we didn't have a problem.

Speaker 3 (01:38:11):
But he actually looks happy in his mug shot.

Speaker 1 (01:38:15):
You know, look at it. I see those lies. You're
in there somewhere, dead people, all right, Geather. Good to
see Justin Brown when he was younger. Sound that's not bad.

Speaker 6 (01:38:29):
He does look a lot like.

Speaker 1 (01:38:32):
So his name was Haley Joe uh.

Speaker 6 (01:38:38):
Joe wilbrid.

Speaker 1 (01:38:41):
Was there of which is that was the case? Se
Jail bars Adler. Did you know that archaeologists have uncovered
a rare four thousand year old musical instrument. That's four
and then three zeros four thousand year old musical instrument.
I know you want to play it? What is it?
It was simple, a couple of symbols, little bit of

(01:39:02):
let down. We'd like to see some shorty at least
it would win. But those people that joined the band,
the hand, theom symbols, that's all they get to do,
is okay. We apologize to all the people out in
the audience that have children who played the simples. Right.

Speaker 5 (01:39:19):
Yeah, my buddy Dean, it was on the drum line
and he was so cool sometimes on the snare and
the quads or whatever, and then every once in a
while they get him on the symbols.

Speaker 1 (01:39:27):
And he'd have to do this.

Speaker 3 (01:39:31):
Circles.

Speaker 1 (01:39:32):
I'm sorry, but exactly all the time on the bus,
travel the way games. The only other thing they'll let
you do is walk over to the drummers and be
a ride. You ever said that lovely job?

Speaker 3 (01:39:48):
Yeah, I'll hold it, you hit it, yes.

Speaker 1 (01:39:53):
So anyway they found it. It said it's four thousand
years old, Greg, go uh his own. They believe these
symbols we're evacuated from an ancient building and they think
that they date somewhere between twenty two hundred BC and
two thousand BC. And Greg, don't you think even the
person that had to play on them was disappointed.

Speaker 3 (01:40:14):
Ago.

Speaker 1 (01:40:15):
Okay, so we also think we uncovered some kind of
carving in a stone here someone with a sad face.

Speaker 5 (01:40:23):
They have them kind of stacked together, just like the like.

Speaker 3 (01:40:27):
A high hatter like drumline.

Speaker 1 (01:40:34):
