It for their.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Funny some concerns, Uh, they sent out the lineup yesterday.
Now this is I don't I don't feel good about
this at all. A couple of concerns. Well, there's some
concerns because I see that. Why I see, we have
a few former players, you know, but they're you know,
they're they're kind of they're not in their prime, but

(03:37):
they but they can still. Yeah, they got it. My concern.
And I see some other entertainers, you know, we're all
pretty much in the same boat. I see a form,
you know, Mark Everett, Olympic runner, but he's in I
see Michael May's Willie May's son, you know, you runner.
I like that, but I don't I don't like seeing

(04:00):
people who are hitting coaches currently. I mean, they're currently
doing this for a living. Right, Why am I paying
playing against Cody Hamilton from out Front hitting? Yeah? And
and Cal Tinsley from Tingsley Performance right, uh, you know,
and Casey Smith from outfront hitting.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
Those major League Baseball players fly into this area to
get hitting instructions from them or get training from Cal,
and they're playing against you.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah, I mean, am I am? I? Am I all that?
Am I all that concerned about taking a hot line
drive from logan the entertainer? Not really? But but when
it comes to Cody Hamilton, yes, I mean, this guy's
currently he's coaching major league players right now. You think
he can't hit hitting soft balls? Yeah, but you think
they can't hit it.

Speaker 5 (04:53):
All they do is their livelihood is hitting so uh
so that that concerns me.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
But he can give they can give you some instruction
Rick during the game, mate, I tell you what you're
doing wrong. You know what they could correct because I
haven't hit in a while. So Dunnaway's playing. Looking forward
to seeing him again, and I hope we end up
on the same time. Chris Hammond. Good to see him again.
Former major league player. Uh, Funny Maine is going to
be their comedian. Yeah, so he's he was on he

(05:22):
was on the Rick and Bubba Show in the past.
We had a great time with Funny Maine, you know.
And I'm sure he can he's he's probably got he
can play a little ball. But I mean, these people
that are currently that know how to hit the ball hard,
I'm real worried about that right now, like right this second.
And I'm still got that young look about me, you know.
So so anyway we'll see out. All of us will

(05:43):
be involved. If you're coming to the game at historic
rick Wood Field, you should. You should go to the museum.
The history there is incredible. Sherry has let me know
she's coming, So missus Burgess will be there. Watch out
looking forward to that. So ad ers, she can help
you with the kiddos. Uh and so we I.

you've got it, says Rick Burgess, host of The Rick
Burgess Show. You've got you know Unice Eunice Elliott comedian,
Unice Unice. Uh, you got funny Maine comedian. And then
you've got Logan the entertainer. And then they made sure

(06:20):
to point out he's an entertainer.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yes he is. Isn't that good? Yes? If your name
is Logan the entertainer, you are the entertainer.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Does he entertains?

How about this. I look forward to meeting Ron Papa
Jack Jackson, former Major League player and hitting coach, another
hitting coach. There's so many hitting coaches there everywhere. Let

(07:07):
me tell you, I don't know that they said we're
going to pick teams when we get there today. I
don't know who's gonna do the picking. It would be cool.
I'd like just to be able to hang out and
talk to Michael May's with a Mason. Yes, now, that
would be fun.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
So y'all, y'all have not been to Rickwood Field since
they kind of redid some things for okay, short shortened
the backstop all that.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
The last time I was at Rickwood it was years ago. Oh,
y'all are going to enjoy it.

Speaker 5 (07:31):
So I look, they had the pleasure of being there
this year. So it's just been a couple of weeks
since I've been there. And I walked around, I havn't
drug Terry around with me. She's like, are we going
to watch the game any I'm like, no, Just imagine
right there. Imagine right there who sat there and watch
games back in the day. And then you walk into
the little gift shop museum area and they had they
have framed pictures up nice about how they had overflow

(07:54):
seating and you couldn't you didn't see an empty seat,
and they would back the cars up and the cars
you could see cars for a mile down the road.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
And I was like, this was the place. This was it.

Speaker 5 (08:06):
Ty Cobb played there, This was this was it. This
is where everybody came to. This is where the excitement
of the day. I can't wait to get there. The
history in this place.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
And you're now you're going to be standing there in
the box rick ready to hit, thinking to myself, Willie
Mays was on this field, satchel page. Yes, I'm got
to channel them a little bit. Well, I don't think
they played at sixty, but anyway, so I had I
did a little rehab yesterday. I think the line of
the day yesterday to all these physical therapists, because you know,

(08:36):
it's a different deal. I told them, I said, let
me tell all of you in here after I was
over a squirming and you got let me tell all
of y'all in here. None of y'all have a future
as a massage therapist, because y'all this is not a
sweetish massage. None of y'all this ain't nothing pleasurable about this.
You're not relaxing anybody. You may sweat. There were times
my forehead had sweat on it because they get on

(08:57):
that stuff and start trying to grind that stuff and
turn and twist it.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
I was told that's what I'm all about.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
I was told point blank by the great Jeff Lopez yesterday,
do not throw the ball. He said, I don't play,
he said, he said, he said, I heard Speedy doing
this side arm thing. You just gonna mess something out.
He'll be fine, he said. Just he said, just play one.
You're gonna roll the ball. We're gonna roll the ball.
Really made his son here. Know what I wanna do

(09:25):
is I want to end up throwing the ball, swinging
as hard as I can, then having surgery. That's what's
gonna happen. Okay, well sounds good. All right, We're off
to running. Start. What I'll do is ilready gonna be
running the board with running arm. I'll reach on my
left hand because my right arm will be in a sling.
When I get the m v P trophy, Oh my god,
just add it to me the other side here. I
can't take it with it. I can't reach out anymore.

(09:46):
I can't even turn on the lights with.

Speaker 7 (09:47):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Let's talk about where we are right now. Let's let's
be on conservatives. Feels like we're winning the movement, gaining ground,
people waking up, the narrative, cracking the momentum. Finally, it
feels like it's shifting. But the fight is not over.
The worst thing you could do right now is to
say we're good. The fight's not even close to being over.

I mean, I'm I don't have to tell you this
because I know it's on your mind constantly. You've got

(12:05):
a pretty active three days coming up from Yeah, I
mean you're you're and then and then you get into
the weekend, giddy up and then you've got your You're
ending the senior baseball season, right. Yeah. I was talking
with JC. I was talking to Terry last night.

Speaker 5 (12:20):
We're sitting that we're here, sitting down, having a bike
to eat together and uh somewhat empty nesters and and
we were talking about you know, the the next you know,
seventy two.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Hours and she's like, wow, we got a lot and.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
And I say, well, we can't. We can't worry about
all that now, because she's like, I don't. I don't
know why I feel this, like, wow, we got a
lot happening right now. It's because you're thinking about everything
at once. You're thinking about senior Day, graduation, How are
we going to do this?

Speaker 1 (12:48):
We got saved seats, both.

Speaker 5 (12:49):
Parents come, all the parents, And I said, you can't
do that right now. See for the Stallions, I'm not
even thinking about the Stallions till Friday at like two o'clock.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
You know what, you you take a bite to day.

Speaker 5 (13:01):
Yeah, but then Saturday is Senior Day, and it's really
it is, it's killing me that I have that I'm
missing the doubleheader on Friday for jac but I'll be
there on Saturday and it is senior Day, and we
were talking about.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
How She's like, I just I don't know why. I
just feel like when we're missing.

Speaker 5 (13:19):
So I said, I'll tell you why, because let's look
back at how COVID ruined everything.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Okay, let just everybody look back by the way. I
don't know.

Speaker 5 (13:26):
Do you see the White House changed the information about COVID.
They say it did originate from China, they are responsible
and stuff. Anyway, they had not done that before, but
I thought that was interesting. Yeah, officially, and then they
said some things about Fauci and everything. But anyway, so
think back to twenty twenty. All right, and so JC

(13:47):
is a senior in high school. Well he gets fourteen
thirteen to fourteen games into the season. They just stopped
the season. You never have a senior day, graduate whatever.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
You move on. So there's that one.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
Reese was in eleventh grade playing summer ball and went
to stretch out at first and totally blew his left hamstring.
I'm talking about, was this close to having to have
such a lot ended his kid. That happens to you. You
think I'm not going to have that happen.

Speaker 8 (14:17):
Right.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
Tyler is at Jacksonville State pitching in the Ole Miss
Regional and we see his last pitch and we didn't
know at the time. He ends up having an impingement
in his shoulder, had to have another surgery. Then COVID
COVID hit and he forewent his fifth year of eligibility.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
It was just a mess. So we didn't really have
a senior day there.

Speaker 5 (14:41):
So I was telling Terry, that's the reason it feels
weird is because we actually haven't really had I mean,
Tyler had his at twenty fifteen at his high school
and JC playing juco ball, they had a sophomore day,
which is kind of like a senior day you graduate
from junior college. But it's just I said, that's why
it feels so weird is because a lot of this

(15:01):
other stuff happened during COVID where they just canceled everything,
and looking back on it, we only did what we
were told to do and what we felt at the time.
But think about what we did to all of these
kids and all these these sports that were outside.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
By the way, we're outside.

Speaker 5 (15:21):
The first year JC went to play ball, it was
I think at Wallace Hantsville, and it's nothing they did wrong.
But that was that's a juco. They wouldn't even be
They weren't allowed to get in the dugout. They had
to stand outside the dugout.

Speaker 9 (15:34):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (15:34):
And then and they weren't even they weren't even allowed
to go into the locker room the first year that
when when jac was there, he had never really had
a locker because you couldn't go inside to the locker room.
But they were only doing what they were told. And
they weren't the only baseball teams, and then other baseball
teams like, no, you got to have the you gotta
have the vaccine. Well, well I don't want the vaccine. Well,

(15:55):
then you've got to You got to fillow a form
and you got to write down every where you went
and all the people you came to contact, blah blah blah.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
But if you get the vaccine, you can come and
go and do whatever you want. And that was so
a lot of players.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
JC wasn't one of them, but a lot of baseball
college baseball teams they required it and if you didn't
do it, they made your life living hell.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, and to the point where you're like, Okay, I'll
just take it. I'll take it. I'll take it just
to get it, get away from this, get back to normal.
That's why. That's why I took That's why. Yeah, a
lot of people took it through. I guess the three
of my kids, that was the whole reason they took it.
One did not because he didn't have that kind of pressure,
but the other three were like, we can't even live

(16:37):
our lives unough we take this vaccine. We were trying
to get our lives back in our livelihood, yeah, and
be able to go to class and and uh and
I regret that. I hate. I mean, thankfully there hasn't
been any health issues with it that we know of. Yeah.
And so I'm just saying the whole thing was, I
think you're you're making a point. We forgot how much

(16:58):
was lost, you know how you when you see things
like on Netflix or whatever, and it's still it's still
it's old. So it's still back in the pandemic era.
And so there was some show Sherry Loves. These shows
were these real estate people like these families and they

(17:18):
go try to sell these big, huge homes. Yeah. So
there was one from the pandemic and I was just
laughing because one of the reasons these hot people that
there the real estate market was booming was people who
lived in London. London kept shutting down to the point
that people like, we're leaving, and they were all moving
out to the country and trying to find homes out

(17:39):
in the country. But what was funny was the real
estate agents were standing around in a house they were
all going to try to sell, and they were standing
like six feet apart from each other. They were having
their meeting and yelling well, yeah, you now they're in
the same room, okay, And and they're six feet apart,

(18:02):
and we're good yeah, uh and uh and and this
whole it's just it's just it was just you look
at it now. But but as you as we all
have to admit, yeah, it's easy to look at it
and talk about how absurd it is now that we know. Yeah,
but you have to remember that. I remember thinking to myself, well, look,

(18:23):
if this vaccine of work, the life would be a
lot easier. It just get it and move on. And
of course the problem was that it did not provide
what they said it would provide, so then the risk
became not worth it. But they didn't they didn't tell
you that they they told you one thing and then
they just all of a sudden changed like they didn't
say the other before. But you need another one, and

(18:43):
then another one, and then a booster, and then too busters,
then another one. Yeah. Mask it just it just got
out of hand. But we have to be able to
learn from that going forward. I hope yeah, I hope so,
I hope so.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
But the lab leak theory, uh, and the origins of COVID,
the White House has replaced government COVID sites with that information,
and so they took down a lot of the government
websites providing COVID nineteen information and replace them with new,
boldly styled pages dedicated to the theory that the pandemic

(19:19):
was caused by the virus leaking from the Chinese government laboratory.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
You tell us the most logical obvious.

Speaker 5 (19:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And so it just but we just
started reminiscing and started thinking back about that, and you
can all we've all got stories about how it affected
our entire life and family members that we lost.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Look Ruby, yeah, exactly, and two of my grandkids. I
think it's see, that's it, that's it. River. I could
get to see River and all that by the way,
that was not necessary, No, none of it.

Speaker 5 (19:49):
And just looking back at like this whole Fauci thing,
where did the six feet thing just made it up?

Speaker 1 (19:54):
I mean, did we all learn that we probably shouldn't
be on top of each other. Yeah, that's probably a
good idea.

Speaker 5 (19:58):
And then they just made up how far we remember
the duct tape lines that go Walgreens and he walked
in there.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Oh and a step back, sir, what about the one
way owls you?

Speaker 3 (20:07):
Oh yeah, in the grocery store again and you're talking
about having to stand outside the dugout and things like that.
Just the level of isolation. Yeah, it's just like we
were all just so isolated. We were afraid to be
around our friends and our family and hug our our
grandparents and uh, just the amount of social control and
the amount of fear that they were pushing, and the

(20:29):
amount of incorrect information that they were pushing. It's just Fauci.
Fauci squashed the lab leak theory over and over and
over again and spoke publicly about it when he knew
the truth.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (20:40):
Yeah, And what we did to the little kids, the
kids and masts and all that all day law, all
day long, all day long.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
The number of kids that just fell out of the system,
never to be heard of and seen again.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
It's just horrifying, right, So, I mean that's and so
we just we started talking during dinner last night. We're like,
that's why we feel so weird because we haven't had right,
had a chance to do this. So we're not alone
in that. But yet Senior Day for JC and all
of his buddies. I forget how many of there. I
think it's twelve thirteen. It's a pretty big class. And
so that's Saturday as they host West Alabama, who's very

(21:15):
special to jac because a lot of players and coaches
that are on that team have a long history with him.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
So it'll be a special weekend. Now, you got lots
to do, yeah, talking about the pandemic. When I was
coaching high school, the players wore masks while running sprints
in ninety degree weather. We also went into a weight
room where all the weights were and we sprayed the

(21:42):
bar and the equipment with a dangerous disinfected after each
player touched it. And when you look and you see that,
he said, looking back, we were probably doing more harm
to the athletes than we were good running with these
masks on and really the mat and then the worst
part about that is we know the mask wasn't doing
you any good. And because it was a virus, not

(22:06):
not bacteria and likely airborne. Yeah. I remember having to
wear a mask at ball games. Yeah, and it would
fog your glasses up for glasses, and what we've been
doing sitting in an open stadium with a mask on.
Look at get me started, guys.

Speaker 5 (22:21):
I was stadium guy on a wireless microphone for UAB
football and had to wear a mask while I was
talking outside at Legion Field. So stupid outside not not
around anybody. And it was just the policy. Wasn't people
in charge, It's just.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
What they were told. It's just in crazy.

Speaker 5 (22:40):
And talking about the weight room, Rick our garage at
the house turned into like we called it the Wilburne
uh uh warehouse. I think I think the boys came
up with some silly name.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
But because the gyms were closed, that's where they worked out.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
Well, word got out that locally that hey man, they
got they got a lot of weights and all this
kind of stuff. We're all going to them over to
the house. But you know, you couldn't have too many
cars there at one time because people would freak out.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
And so unless unless you're a government official, then you
can have as the biggest gatherings you want.

Speaker 5 (23:09):
So I would let let people come in waves like J. C.
Or Tyler Reese's friends, and and I had to, I
would mop okay, my garage.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
I would. I would spray all.

Speaker 5 (23:21):
The equipment down and wipe them down and then mop
the floor with this disinfecting and then let it dry,
and then the next bunch could come.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
In and the whole thing. And the thing was airborne
the whole It.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
Was airborne the whole time, and the garage door was open.
They were with a big fan going.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
But we didn't know. So my goodness, I went through
all kinds of cleaning, and you know there were moments
it shows.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
I was leaving my groceries in the sun, the mail
in the sun.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
You better do it crazy. It shows you how how
the mind, you know, doctrination works. No one stood up
when we were taking marching bands and putting masks on
them and giving them a little bit a little slid
so they could stick to the trumpet. Uh, you know,
through it was that not the moment said have we

(24:13):
lost the main. Well, you know, sometimes you go on,
you go, okay, you're going too far. Now, no one
said I think this is absurd thought, I mean, this
is crazy anyway, So I'm glad it is behind us.
I hate the damage that it did. I hope we
learn going forward that we probably won't. Uh, but anyway,

(24:36):
it was around this time, what five years ago, right,
March started, March one? Yeah, yeah, so yeah, we're right
around this time. It was. It was March one, March one,
five years ago when they said let's shut everything down
for two weeks. It might have even been one week
the first time, but it was a small moment.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Was it fourteen days to slow the curve?

Speaker 1 (24:56):
That was crazy? Yeah? And then that was it.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
And then you know, if you get the vaccine you
get you get French fries and and all that. You're like, wait,
doesn't this disease impact like obese people way worse and
kids not at all? So let's let's take that into account.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
Oh wow, crazy.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
By the way, anyone interested in this speedy was talking
to us about it when we arrived on the scene
today that there's going to be a Paul Rubin's documentary.
I mean, the great Peewee armed. Yeah, the great pee
Wee was the one end he tried to mess with us.
It was BS, wasn't it. Remember he had a Paul
Rubens story. I can't remember you remember. I can't remember

(25:38):
like week two when he came. I think you're right great,
I think he ended up being BS.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
I think you're right.

Speaker 5 (25:43):
Okay, it's called pee Wee as himself. It's gonna premiere
on HBO May twenty third.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
It's going to get a little uncomfortable there.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
At some point I was gonna say, you guys can
go see it in the theaters.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
If I do, I'll sit on the back road with
the wall behind it. It's a two part documentary.

Speaker 7 (26:03):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
He was a little pervy and that they have released
the promo the trailer for this, so you love remember no,
but I do have a little bit of audio for
you Rick here on. Uh we can we can come
out of it here, but it's coming out of my computer.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Uh it's real short.

Speaker 5 (26:21):
And and listen to how he said he came up
with the with the pee Wee name and everything or pressure.

Speaker 10 (26:27):
I'm having a party and you're inverted.

Speaker 11 (26:31):
I wanted to be a performance artist out of nowhere
he wee Herman popped out of me.

Speaker 7 (26:38):
The audience ate it up and.

Speaker 5 (26:39):
Went crazy and Greg Greg says that he actually saw
an act, didn't you of him?

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yeah, was a stand up comment. Comedians you as as
pee wee. It's the character. But I will say this,
in his movies he was funny. Yeah, he was funny
the movies. Now raise your nerves and raise your hand.

Speaker 5 (26:57):
If you forgot he died in two twenty three, there
were I completely forgot he was dead.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Yeah, and I usually put people down the years before that.
Oh yeah, And Greg reminded me of this and the like.

Speaker 5 (27:09):
If you don't think the Big Shoes das it's funny,
there's something wrong with Obviously they did this a lot
of filming and interviewing prior to his death, that's obvious.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
But it was right. Sure, he didn't come back from
the movie.

Speaker 5 (27:21):
But don't think don't think this is a option. Don't
think this interview took place like a month ago, and
they just all this year is done death.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
I'm going to guess these interviews were done prior to
twenty third. Yes, they were twenty three.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
So bad that I was looking for the trailer just
now I went to pull up his ex page, and
I'm like, wow, he hasn't been tweeting very much recently.
That explains it.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
At least two years.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
That explains it.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
I wasn't one hundred percent sure, but I asked me
this morning. I said, didn't he die because I seem
like I remembered us covering it.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
I totally forgot that, sure enough.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
In the story it says he died in twenty twenty three. Okay, okay,
so yeah, I don't remember that at all. So I
had him still alive, by the way, which is a
complete opposite of which you normally Yes, you know what,
everything's new.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Now, And that show of his was insane. It was
just like an acid trip the whole time. My goodness.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Yeah, yeah, he died at the age of seventy and
twenty twenty three. Didn't know he was seventy. Okay. The
other thing too, he was funny when he played any character. Yes,
when he did the Murphy Brown he became the you know,
impossible assistant to her. Funny.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
What was that Ben Stiller movie where he had like
super fark powers mystery man funny in that I.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Don't remember that one. Buddy good one and I missed
his super far I think you were one of maybe
fifteen people that saw that movie. Yes, I don't recall
that at all. Yes, And by the way, I'm a
little bit heartbroken speaking of that. You know, there are
certain things that if you, like you were talking about
a minute ago, Speedy, if your family, you know, when
they were all little and it was your tradition, and
all of a sudden you look around and it's gone.

(28:56):
The theater that we always went to every family movie
from the time my kids were little, even to last Christmas.
It's closed now. Oh no, oh, And it's heartbreaking. It
was our go to I'm telling you, I have incredible
memories of my family going to movies at that theater.

(29:17):
It wasn't far from our house, uh you know, And
I mean we went this last Christmas day for the
last time. Didn't know. It's killing him and now it's
now it's shut down.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
He We's a two part series on Max.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yeah, Top of the Hour, So tomorrow we'll be recapping
a lot of things on the program, and the text
Nation just seems to be and I agree with them,
and we'll have to do a good job of documenting

(29:51):
it out of the house. Maybe with our phones.

Speaker 5 (29:53):
Yeah, yeah, that's what we'll do. We'll just try to
I know, I'm getting one Eddy van Adler singing.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
That's what I'm talking about. People were saying, what I
look forward to on the show tomorrow the most for
those that cannot attend the game in Birmingham today is
the recap of Adders singing the national anthem. And one
person said, if Speedy can take the basketball and can
hit a shot from the big boy seat, what's long
and the ceilings low that you have to sing the

(30:19):
national anthem to this afternoon shirtless? Oh yeah, I think
you'll do it. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Can I at least like drape the flag around my shot?

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Has to hold your shirt, y'all.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
I practiced, I'm telling yeah, I'm telling my kids about
it for the first time yesterday afternoon.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
Oh boy.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
And I was like, and I'm gonna sing the national
anthem like this, and I start singing it and Ruby
covers her ears.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Oh, Speedy, just hit the shot your shirts.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
First of all, he wasn't from the big boys. Second all,
it was his second shot, and he'll speed go as
if it was the first.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
All right, So Ruby covered her ears.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
Ruby covered her ears, So who knows?

Speaker 1 (30:56):
What does that mean that she didn't enjoy it? Can
I tell you? Let me tell you, Let me tell
you what's gonna happen. And it's gonna be a beautiful,
beautiful visual and I will have my phone ready to
take the picture. Is that he's gonna start singing it
and his kid's gonna stand next to him with their
hands over ears. Yes, Yeah, that's gonna be a picture

(31:17):
for the ages. We don't send Riby out there and
standing right beside here.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
I meant to get by bass Pro Shop to get
an American flag shirt that I had my eye on,
but I just couldn't make it happen.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Everybody wanting to know you just gonna sing it straight.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
Yeah, I'm gonna sing it straight, and that's it should.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Be, well, shirtless and straight. I mean, I've seen him
do it. He's got he's got a rendition that he does.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
I'm not gonna do that rendition. You made fun of
it last time. The echoes gone, and that's why it
sounds so bad.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Everybody reward drig everyone what it sounds like crap?

Speaker 3 (31:50):
It's because the got him. That's you during my mast
my last anthem, during my last anthem in the middle
of the anthem, come get.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
You this tay. Maybe not, it shouldn't get you because
the PA at rick Wood Field is actually broken, so
we're going to be using something on the field, so
that should actually help you.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
That should help.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Did I raise my hand here? Yea? And we had
Major League Baseball play there last year? Correct, we got
it read? We can't fix the PA apparently.

Speaker 5 (32:16):
Not where brag insulted insults where we're going before we go,
which is always yeah, that's always fine.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
We got a museum, now we're fixing the place of
MLB is playing here man him got a p A.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
I bet they brought in all their own sound honestly,
what you think you don't know, that's just a guess.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
It was weird. J C played there a couple of
weeks ago and there was no PA, R no nothing
see oldest done. Yeah, I guess they wanted to be
like it was. You know, well, Greg is so old,
it's so old, the PA doesn't work, and you're right,
you're right speedy. I love when I love when Greg
makes that approach to wherever we're going incredibly awkward. Yes,

(32:54):
but as you're walking up you wonder how much they hurt, right, yeah, yeah,
and then he'll be eyes all.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
Right, don't worry about it.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Well, I'm just saying. I mean we've done a lot
of warden there. Why you're at it at PA right, Well,
we don't know this is we don't know what happened.
I will say this. Uh the scoreboard.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
Uh you know it's got the old scoreboard where you
put the numbers into the little squares.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
What do you mean not that that's cool?

Speaker 1 (33:16):
That's cool.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
I'm gonna go eat some peanuts. I'm gonna eat a
hot dog. Some of the world's oldest ballpark today. It's
gonna be great.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
A lot of people don't hate the bowling alley where
they hand drop the pens take well, a lot of
people don't hate everything. Some people might go a PA
to work.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
I'm riding a bicycle that's got a huge front wheel
to the park.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
That's good. So anyway, that's for those who in birminghammer
if you want to get there four pm today, Greg Adler,
Sirlet Adams will sing the national anthem about ten minutes
to four, So three fifty I'm singing today. Give us
a little bit of it.

Speaker 9 (33:51):
Right now.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
I want to know.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
That's not gonna be annoying at Oh no, you're I
think I'm gonna even go like quick about it. Y'all
gonna be surprised how quick it goes. Oh say, can
you see by the likely get it over with.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Now, let's don't do the Broadway musical version of it.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
I will have a snare drum. I'm gonna play the
snare drum while I do it. All right now, I'm
making fun of it, and I'm sorry, I'm gonna stop.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Who's making fun of it?

Speaker 3 (34:20):
Well, we're actually just serious.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
I just hope that go don't get him.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
If you do, Craig, you hope that echo does get
nuts and handler.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
As you as you wanted to go, Well, it's just
just for the show, yea. And as you know, Adler,
because you've already experienced it once. If you do get
into buying Gregor, let us all know even before the
song's over.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
What if I pull a Carl Lewis and go, oh
oh oh oh, it'll.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Get better, y'all? What if you didn't oh, and your
kids echoed it. Oh it's too loud, that got him.
We'll recap that tomorrow. So I don't remember me, so
was I was telling that guy it when somebody was
feeling it?

Speaker 3 (35:02):
Yes, somebody was filming it next to you.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
You were way up in the stay echo, goddam echo gotama.
Can hear that was you?

Speaker 5 (35:11):
But don't forget you are going to have a wireless
mic too, Greg So. And while he's singing, you can't
go long.

Speaker 12 (35:15):
Drag him out, Gregor getting his Greg say that you
want to start over.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
While you're doing it like this, I'll tell you what
you got your hand of your yard? Yeah, Greg going,
he's forgot the words?

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Who the words?

Speaker 4 (35:39):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (35:40):
And please do like it? Didn't make a gun handing
a bunch of bums in there?

Speaker 3 (35:47):
Do you realize things going in the air?

Speaker 1 (35:53):
I think Addler, in my opinion, is the most intriguing
thing of this entire game. Yes, I have the most
to lose.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
I think I think I got the most to lose
here the worst.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
Definitely. Nobody expects anything from the rest of us expect.
And you know what people love is when the national
anthem doesn't go well. People love that striking out slow
pitches is embarrassing. But if you trash the national anthem here,
you're the walking dome.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
Now, can I hold my phone and look at the lyrics?
Is that a foul?

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Yes? Who was it? Somebody got in trouble for that?

Speaker 4 (36:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (36:25):
Yeah, I mean people dog look like is Luke Brown?
I think Adler is as rough as this room is
and as rough as that audience is out there right now.
I do whatever I could possibly do to give you
your best shot at doing well. Yeah, because it's really
just the first words, like, you know, don't try to
get too creative. That's usually when it goes bad.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
And the music is the same on the first like
four sentences, so you have to kind of remember exactly
just the words in orders.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
But you're going a cappella.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
I am.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
He can use and you forget what so proudly?

Speaker 3 (36:57):
And then who's broad stripes?

Speaker 1 (36:58):
And or the mean it's just let me. You got
to get it right in your head.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
Don't want to skip anything. Don't want to skip anything.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
Everybody hates that. Then before you know what you don't
like veterans.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
Should should make it a sing along? Shall I make
it a sing along?

Speaker 13 (37:10):
Or so?

Speaker 1 (37:12):
So don't you everybody ether now, don't you dare make
it a sing please?

Speaker 8 (37:16):
Do not?

Speaker 3 (37:17):
Do you get the people to do their hands like this.
They have to do that, put their celf on lights.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
Do not say America. Put your hands in the air
and wave.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
Them like you don't.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
I will say this, are you doing that?

Speaker 4 (37:27):
Like?

Speaker 1 (37:28):
I love so much when they they're doing the sign
language to it, and it's not for deaf people. It's
just because we're being in sharp.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
Oh yeah, I'll do that too myself.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
I need you doing that. You really know what you're doing.
What you're not talking about the people they are signing
for the death. I'm talking about these that has nothing
to do with the death. They come out Napoleon Dynamite
when he was in the classroom when they were doing something.
So what do you think about gregs Greggs on the
mike critique your performance. Yes, Speedy's on the other mike

(38:00):
being the flag. Oh yes, his speech remote glory, what
I'm gonna pull out of your trash? Don't do that,
don't don't.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
It was a Broadway singer about your cousin that was
singing uh from a movie. At the Yankees opening day game,
it was a Broadway singer. I remember we played that clip.
This lady right here just looking at.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
Look saint lou Bryan looked at his phone to do
what you gotta do? Really? What about the girl that
sang drunk? Was it the All Star?

Speaker 3 (38:32):
Yes, don't do that and went to rehab with her
eyes closed.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Don't do that because also called d h R to right.

Speaker 5 (38:40):
Yeah, Now what I would love for you to do.
It's surprise. It's surprised Greg, And you know what I
feel lad to bring him up and let's do this
together and make him sing with you.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
And I said, I got my own song before we
get started. Hey little person, I'm stopping the ladies and
gentlemen o singing our national anthem from the Rick Burgess Show,
Chris Eddie van Adler.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
Hey, y'all cool with his shirt right here? You gonna
be a good choice. Gotta get by the best pro.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
If we had like a steps over like.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
The microphone, and then we had a wig for you
because of all and then we gave Greg diabetes shocks,
and then we tightened up rick skin on his body
because the skin doesn't fit anymore.

Speaker 7 (39:38):
Burgers show.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
This one and I think it's generational. Younger people do
this every time. And I got an email from a
guy yesterday and he did it again that y'all saw. Hey, hey,
younger folks, y'all, y'all, y'all, do y'all know what the
word literally means? Yeah, yeah, what that means because you
were over using it and you're using it in clearly.

(40:04):
Literally literally means actually, just like like if I go
to you say, hey, I really enjoyed deviled eggs, I
literally ate six within I ate six y'all are using
literally like you would say I ate a lot of reference. Well, yeah,
but that's the first one I thought of, because I
just ate a bunch of those. But but what I
mean literally literally means not it's like something or it

(40:29):
was something, or I'm trying to get the point that
this was really but literally means you're telling us now
exactly what happened. I bet eight ten literally eight seven.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
Hey you say like I'm literally starving right now? You
better be in bad shape right, Well.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
That means that means you're going to die? Yes, okay.
And and if you say literally and then it really isn't,
then you've misused it. Yeah, you know, I tell you
one thing I have. I have been driving so far
I feel like you know what I am literally in Oklahoma?
If you're not an Oklahoma. Don't use that word. You're
not literally in Oklahoma. Now if you're trying to just
tell us you've been driving a long way west okay,

(41:07):
but you're not literally in Oklahoma unless you're in Lokahoma, Oklahoma.
They don't know how to use the word literally. They
use it all the time, and they misuse it. You've
noticed that, Yes, picked up on it. Yeah, was it
from that guy you got your picture made with? No,
it was a different guy. Literally, Hey, I'm literally going
to leave in a few minutes, Well then we'll see

(41:28):
you better go. Yeah, yeah, I literally need to go.
Well then go, yeah, you need you need to go
right now. They throw literally in all the time, like
and what they're really trying to use is for exaggeration,
like for instance, the egg example, which is why I
like that. A lot of times they're trying to use
it to say I ate a lot of eggs. But

(41:48):
if you say I literally ate ten eggs, but you
really ate eight or six or five, and you meant
that as like I just ate a lot of eggs. Now,
if you literally ate ten eggs, then you then they're
they're us to be ten because that means it's literal.
They're not using this word, right, They throw literal around
like crazy, and Rick's madback.

Speaker 7 (42:07):
I hate it is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
All right. So Speedy has an audio clip greg that
he wants to start. Okay, yeah, all right, all right,
So is this one of those things we try to
guess what it is? Oh, I'm up. I didn't know that.

Speaker 5 (42:22):
Okay, here we got. I got a little something that
I want you to tell me if y'all know what's
going on here? And then Adler is going to back
that up. He's got a little something too. Oh does
he well the video that show bought him up to
not wait wait, just wait till after this. All right,
So tell me if y'all can know what's going on here.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
Something good's happening. They're fired up about it. You want
to hear that again. He's getting him. He even heard
mama thrown in. He's getting him there running somebody off
and they captured him. They they're holding him down. Uh,

(43:12):
he's some messing with their car. Uh peeping tom. Oh,
you peeping Tom in there? Some kind of vandal. Yes,
he's getting him, He's got.

Speaker 5 (43:28):
He's getting him. Uh, this one starts with a Florida man.
Of course, an animal tracker in Jacksonville named uh the
blue collar Brawler of his name, had to leave his
Easter dinner so he could wrangle a gator at a
woman's house by the garbage can. So what he did

(43:50):
is he he he actually trapped the gator in the
person's trash container. He was called to the same think
about this because we don't understand it. But there's there's
some areas where you can't even go throw your garbage
out at night without fear that a gator is laying there.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
Picture that possum you saw adler that was the size
of a dog. Yeah, what if that been an alligator?

Speaker 5 (44:12):
Yes, he's a barefoot gator wrangler. He stopped his Eastern
dinner because he got a call to help.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
No shoes, no problem, it says. This is courtesy of
the Fox affiliate. Some video here to go along with
the audio.

Speaker 9 (44:26):
I watched You don't want that?

Speaker 1 (44:30):
You don't want yes, less the barefoot whatever.

Speaker 5 (44:36):
Yeah, So he's he kind of worked the garbage can
sitting on its side, all right, just like you would
do with it.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
Now he's putting it in his truck. It looks like
you call the barefoot wrangler. Yeah, and he shows up,
you expect him to have like equipment. He took the
trash can and scooped him up.

Speaker 11 (45:00):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
But now it's in the trash can, how do you
get it back out of somewhere and probably dumping out
in the waterways getting it off the property.

Speaker 5 (45:06):
But yeah, he laid the can down sideways and worked
it back into the corner where the gator finally went
into the garbage can, then turned it upright like the
entire time, like you roll your your garbage to the
to the side of the road. And he put it
in his truck.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
And guess what he had to bring then he had
to bring the can back? Yeah he did.

Speaker 4 (45:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Yeah. And when we go and we dump it in
the water alive? Did we accomplish much? And we just
through the night. But if it goes right back, isn't
it coming right back?

Speaker 3 (45:36):
Make some boots out of it? My goodness?

Speaker 9 (45:38):
Right?

Speaker 3 (45:42):
Yeah, all right, somebody, I didn't see the lady being black,
by the way, it doesn't matter, but I when you
were playing the sound I did. I was picturing like
a redneck white lady. But it was it was a
black lady. It doesn't matter, but I was it was.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
I'm just saying culture appropriating. What in the world whatever
that is? You did it?

Speaker 3 (46:09):
She sounds black?

Speaker 4 (46:09):
You don't know?

Speaker 3 (46:10):

You know, there's sometimes getting in trouble at work, and
you know whether you should be fired or not firing
for calls? Uh, you know that's that's always a Sometimes
it can be difficult. I'm not so sure. In Melbourne, Florida, Melbourne,
Florida postal worker arrested on DUI charge after drinking vodka

(48:11):
at a house party on her delivery route. Now, if
you're out delivering the mail, hey, it looks like a
party going on over there. And first of all, I
can't imagine that a house party is going on during
the time you would be delivering the mail. It was
a good they started early. This must have been a dandy.

(48:33):
She is thirty three years old, Caitlin Dye, her name
is in the story, and was arrested earlier in the
morning back the middle of her route and says that,
according to the affidavit, Melbourne Police were notified that a
UPS mail truck. I'm sorry us USPS mail truck. Sorry UPS.

(48:56):
Nobody in brown, So that means she was in uniform.
Oh yeah, I'm at the mixer in my uniform. By
the way, if you're at that house party, what about
when you look over and go look as a postman
in here with us? The postman over doing kegstands said
the truck she likes vodka apparently, Well, you can't smell
it on it. You can, you'll bring hey when you're
in a melt when you're in a mail truck and

(49:19):
you're driving in the opposite traveling okay uh. And also
she was seeing that steering wheel on the wrong side,
cause it's all kinds of problems, you know, it does,
especially for drunk people. She was seen throwing plastic cups
out of the vew Rick.

Speaker 5 (49:33):
I have a little bit of audio from an eye
witness that actually describes what you just said.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
Oh, okay, yeah, we saw a.

Speaker 14 (49:40):
Mail truck driving in the wrong direction in the same
lane that we were in. She proceeded to drive in
zigzags all the way down the.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
Road and the Trick Metro stop sign, where.

Speaker 14 (49:51):
She proceeded to kick a solo cuff out of the
side of the mail truck. She was literally off roading
in the mail truck, so she grabbed.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Her a solo coach said, y'all, I gotta go. Now,
I'm taking one for the road though, I'm taking away
with me. I got to get my route done.

Speaker 9 (50:09):
I got to go.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
Solo cup is out. Pretty dangerous. YEP doesn't say if
it was Saturday delivery. Rick.

Speaker 9 (50:19):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
Some people said they've seen him delivering early in the vening.
I've seen that before. It does not Sayler the witness
black or white.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
Yeah, she's white, got it, definitely white.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
They keep doing that, Lada. You realize that's the rest
of your day. Yes, unfortunately, I gotta say, I know,
I know that, I know literally drunk. She was literally drunk. Yes,
I don't know if I don't know the standing and
the protection of these government employees when it comes to
loss of job, but this one, this is one of those.

(50:56):
This normally gets you here. Yeah, this is a you know,
the famous you know, come on out there. Yeah to me,
you go in and all you're doing now is trying
to see how does the paperwork work?

Speaker 4 (51:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (51:06):
I want you sober, you go. I'll never get past
this one. I know that I'm fired. I got it.

Speaker 8 (51:11):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (51:12):
And what what do we do now? What kind of severance?
Is there any of that in there? How does my paperwork?
Where do I start? Because you don't sit down and say,
I don't know why y'all fired me? Yeah? Yeah, what's
the deal? Right? Picture? Picture the job? But you know,
firing people is not an easy thing. But imagine for
this day. Okay, So I think that let's get this
talk about yesterday. Okay. Uh, you were in one of

(51:34):
our trucks. I mean it had US Postal Service, all
the logos on, and you you stopped at a house
party during your route. Yes, I did. You should just
put the mail in the box and left. So you
you got you got drunk there and took a solo
cup into the truck. Yes, you were driving the wrong
way and at one point driving off road. Yes, and

(51:55):
with people's mail in our mail truck.

Speaker 5 (51:58):
Oh y'all if y'all picturing the stand truck, there it is,
I mean it is there, no rain or sleeping or
snow yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
I thought that was confusing when she was on the
other side of the driver's seat.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
You know, I mean if you're completely sober, I mean
that truck's hard to drive. Yes, yeah, and so it
goes against all muscle memories. Rick.

Speaker 5 (52:19):
Speaking of driving, we have another story here. A woman
has claimed, uh, these way Mo driverless taxi.

Speaker 1 (52:26):
Yes, you told me about it. I don't want a
driverless down.

Speaker 5 (52:29):
This is her describing a little bit about what happened.
Apparently she was in one and it just stopped in
the middle of.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
A busy highway in Texas and she couldn't get out
of it.

Speaker 10 (52:38):
Was going the wrong way. We called customer support. It
stopped us right here. It would let us out of
the car, and we kept saying, hey, we're on a highway, please.
Cars kept honking at us and it would not move.
It would not let us down.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
Everybody's honking out. Customer would actually move the wamow.

Speaker 3 (52:57):
So now we're walking on mopat.

Speaker 1 (53:01):
Very windy. Yes.

Speaker 5 (53:06):
So Waimo has this driverless taxi car and it just
stopped the middle of the highway. They were trapped inside
of it, couldn't open the doors. They were calling and
trying to get customer service. That was Becky Levin Navarro.
She she had to post something as she walked down
the highway on a windy day.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
But think about that.

Speaker 5 (53:29):
So I'm in a driverless car. It's just stopped in
the middle of a highway, and it's not I'm just
sitting there.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
Look at that. I don't want a car that drives
itself like that. I don't think I'm ready for I
don't think i'm ready for this. I know I'm not
ready to do that. The steering wheels turning, there's nobody
in it. I don't like nobody in. Let me tell
you why I won't do this. I saw Jurassic Park,
the original, that's right, that's right through some after and

(53:55):
that thing just dies dead as a wedge. That's just
I mean it. It shows a footage of them just
driving around at are you open to Latino on this one?

Speaker 3 (54:06):

Speaker 1 (54:07):
Okay? So uh yeah, that's well. She did what she
took to TikTok so she could post about it. Yeah,
but driver no, I'm not I'm not for I'm getting No,

I'm getting into a carnival ride that I'm out there
with other people in trap. Yeah no, I'm stranding and

(54:28):
they're blowing horns.

Speaker 3 (54:30):
No, no, no, I would much rather be in a
tesla with full self driving. And I'm sitting in the
in the steering wheel position, and this set set up,
there's not even the driver seats empty.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
Yes, it's empty, and you see a steering wheel turning.
There's an invisible person. They're in the back.

Speaker 3 (54:46):
See nobody's in the front.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
Of course, you know when you're in the tesla. The
only problem with it is when the liberal sets it
on fire.

Speaker 3 (54:51):
When you're in it, you get attacked for driving a
clean car.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
Good thing is the cab driver don't stink? Great, you

Speaker 7 (56:36):
It's the Rick Burger's.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
Show, Chuck Norris is eighty five. I can't believe that
Chuck Norris is eighty five. We were guessing his age

he was like mid seventies. But you're gonna have to

(56:58):
realize how our a I keep forgetting that. I mean
we're sixty. I mean you're not sixty, you're fifty eight, right, Yeah,
and uh, Chuck Norris, he wasn't like a teenager when
he became famous. You know he was right. You know, Adler,
I know this is a big moment for you because
Adler adores Chuck Norse. He loves it. Oh, kid, may

(57:20):
that's why he's got a beard, and not just because
he's white.

Speaker 3 (57:23):
No, there's nothing to do with it. No, you're no
Walker Texas Ranger.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
Yeah, my gosh, I'm a fan. I'm a fan of
all the Chuck Norris jokes.

Speaker 3 (57:32):
Yes, those are jokes.

Yah you could? You could? I mean he.

Speaker 3 (58:03):
I know all the words to this song.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
I do yes? Is just going to mass you up
on the archives? I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (58:08):
I think we've done it before and we were okay,
the plus, I'm it's worth it. It's where's Walker Texas Ranger?
For crying out loud? And I lived in Texas when
this was like a big show in my life as
a kid. If you don't think I walked around pretending
to be Walker Texas Ranger, you're wrong.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
Okay, Yeah, and that's a lot, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (58:32):
Erynger, I better know the truth, that right, because the
eyes of the Ranger upon that's.

Speaker 3 (58:45):
North singing, Yes it is, there's Crevett Other's CDs. Yeah,
Texas looked behind you? Was that for the Rangers gonna be?

Speaker 1 (58:59):
I never did say that. I never saw that. What
was the character he played in the Vietnam he was
There were a couple of them when he was a
soldier in Vietnam. Do you remember it his characters? Yeah,
I don't remember what was his character?

Speaker 3 (59:15):
Missing an action movie?

Speaker 1 (59:17):
What was the character there?

Speaker 3 (59:18):
You go, uh, Joseph Zito? No, he that was the director.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (59:24):
Do you remember Bradick?

Speaker 3 (59:26):
Colonel Colonel James Braddick.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
Do you remember when they when they hung him upside
down and put that bag on his head and put
that rat in there with him, and all of a sudden,
the rat quick movie they pulled the bag off he
had hanging out of his mouth. I remember that.

Speaker 3 (59:38):
I'd forgotten about that action.

Speaker 4 (59:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (59:41):
Else where the rangers said that he died.

Speaker 1 (59:44):
Ten years ago. No, yeah, yeah, that's what it says here. Yeah,
but that my death was afraid to tell it? Also
from text Nation. How many push ups can Chuck Norris do?
All of them? Here's Chuck. He is sharing. You see
this a lot as that it's happened with those that

(01:00:06):
were in the entertainment business. He is sharing why he
made the switch. I never knew this. Does this hurts
you a little bit? Adler? That at one time Chuck
Norris was a Democrat?

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
It's ok here I was too, Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:00:16):
I forgot about that.

Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
But that was for a chick.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
Yeah, how'd that work out? Good? Would you? Identified?

Speaker 5 (01:00:22):
Would you you also bought medium shorts to umbress the
cheek when you needed small?

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
No, I said large, and she's like yeah you okay,
all right, here here's chuck nor question for you.

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
Good?

Speaker 4 (01:00:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
Why are you a conservative?

Speaker 4 (01:00:34):
Shirt?

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Well?

Speaker 13 (01:00:35):
I used to be a Democratic, but unfortunately the Democrats
went two parts to the left and the Republicans moved
into their position that the Democrats were forty years ago.

Speaker 15 (01:00:46):
Yes, and so what the Democrats believed forty years ago,
the Republicans believed today.

Speaker 3 (01:00:55):
And so I realized that I.

Speaker 15 (01:00:56):
Had to go to a Republican because the Democrats got
off off the off the trail. It just got completely
off the trail and lost all reality of what America
stood for. And so I realized that Republicans at this
point in time are more focused on what is best.

Speaker 3 (01:01:15):
Than Sorry, yeah, because that's where the rangers going to be.

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
So he's is that in that video he's eighty five?
I think look at his hair. That's what I said.
He looks younger than us, but he's he's he's clearly
coloring his hair. I mean, that's a that's just having
it that's a bright red. Well, look at me, Greg,
it's it's not just red, it's bright roight wasn't that
he did add a little cold to it? But he
still looks fantastic. I mean, I mean, I mean look

(01:01:39):
at look at like how I mean there was a
point there where I felt like, is this his wife
next to him? Yes? Yes, there was a couple of
times I saw her wanting to kind of help him
a little bit and yeah, did you see that? Yeah,
because I think she was.

Speaker 5 (01:01:51):
I think was here's where Joe said something weird And no,
I think it was more of her just agreeing with him,
and she wanted to kind of chime in, so she
just started chiming.

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
It looks like you started facing the camera, y'all. Here
he is.

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
He posted this at Christmas time and here he is
hiking in the snow and this was just a few
you know first, like he's inside the well he was
the VI at the beginning of it?

Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
Is that is he got a mullet? Is that a bullet?
That's kind of a mullet. That's a mullet.

Speaker 3 (01:02:15):
Look at that cabin.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
Does Chuck Norris have a mullet there? Did you see it?
Did you say Norris has a mullet. He hung on
to his mullet back when he was a Democrat.

Speaker 3 (01:02:26):
There he is hiking. That's what he looks like.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
Now, y'alla. There is now that Rick got just so,
I thought i'd heard all the chuck. Norris once said
he admitted that you stunt doubles only on crime scenes.

Speaker 3 (01:02:41):
Fantastic.

Speaker 1 (01:02:45):
Oh is my favorite. When he went to the Virgin Islands.

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
That one did they changed the name of Yah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
Why do you always bring that one up every single
It's like it's a given. By the way they're saying,
the mullet is honored to have ignored. Yes, it is right. Yeah,
but at one point there he had a mullet though,
when you were doing that. But now he's out in
the snow. Looks like he's cut it back a little bit.
By the by, By the way, the mullet is listen.
I saw a guy I was coming out of Oh.

(01:03:15):
It's when I went to get slot in shorts and
and and and when I when you went to get
the slide and I walked out and they got I'm
talking about a guy full white. I'm talking about Paul
Paul old Man mullet. No, I mean an incredible mullet.
It was fantastic, and I took a picture of it.

(01:03:38):
Oh that's funny, just so I can't enjoy it. Or
you took a picture of it. It was incredible. You know,
you don't get to see snow white much, no snow normally.
All Right, we'll be uh, we'll be back bottom of
the hour. More of the Rick Burgess Show coming up
right after this. H Michelle Obama been a bit of

(01:04:07):
a controversial fiction Michelle. Uh So, she has a podcast now,
as we all know, and there's a couple of things
that she is talking about. Item one, I don't really understand.
I'm sure, Adam, you can help us with this. Uh So,
Here she's talking about well, I'll just let's just hear

(01:04:29):
what she says.

Speaker 6 (01:04:30):
Here.

Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
Here's a little clip from Michelle Obama's podcast, which I
know a lot of you have already downloaded and subscribed
to and you have there in your podcast. Uh So,
here she is discussing about articulating pain.

Speaker 8 (01:04:45):
We don't articulate as black women are pain because it's
almost like nobody ever gave us permission to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
And does anyone care?

Speaker 8 (01:04:54):
Yeah, there's none they care that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
I think we would care if we knew, if.

Speaker 8 (01:05:01):
We knew or you know, yeah, and and we have
to ask ourselves.

Speaker 9 (01:05:06):
Are the men in our lives?

Speaker 8 (01:05:07):
Is?

Speaker 9 (01:05:08):
Uh?

Speaker 15 (01:05:10):
You know?

Speaker 8 (01:05:10):
Why wait to be asked? You know, it seems like
what we go through is pretty obvious. I mean maybe
we're not complaining, but we're actually living life out loud?

Speaker 4 (01:05:22):
What is she?

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
She is struggling by her voice black or white. I
saw it coming. I just waiting and I was looking
forward to you know how you think it's almost not
turned right? How you're standing in line? I'm up next.

(01:05:44):
But and then her brother that's on the podcast, and
what kind of soco babbel mumbo? And I mean, what
are they talking if we knew, I don't know what
they're even articulating your pain? What do you mean? And
was that what?

Speaker 5 (01:06:02):
When she wrapped it up, there was she saying that
the husband should know because they should care enough to
ask how they're feeling. Well, you shouldn't have to ask,
or you shouldn't have to ask.

Speaker 1 (01:06:15):
Is that a shot at her? Would you ask? Or yeah?
I don't know. Well I will say this while I'm
sitting in my fifteen million dollar house I bought on
the water it happened, is I get that, But I
don't see colors. So this I'll make this comment. The
one of the things that that I if they're talking

(01:06:35):
about that men have the burden of trying to figure
out what's wrong with the woman in their life or
women in general. There's no ethnicity on that one. That's
a that's a male female thing. And I didn't know
that black women cannot articulate pain. I think that human beings,
some people keep things to themselves and they won't talk

(01:06:58):
out their problems, and some human beings do. I don't
think that's. I don't think that's a black or whit
or Latino thing. I think that Asian whatever. I think
that that some people hold in and and won't talk
about what's wrong with them and won't let you know
when they're struggling, and some people do. I don't they're
acting like that that's a black woman thing. It's cornered

(01:07:19):
to the marrow. I just don't think it is. I
think that's uh and and the way they if we knew,
if we only knew, Yeah, I don't even what a brother.

Speaker 3 (01:07:29):
Psychobabble, absolutely, but we are out here living our lives.
That doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 1 (01:07:35):
What do you mean, what does it even mean? You
know what I'm going to do today, guys, I'm going
to live my life. But I don't have a choice. Yeah,
Michelle Obama is going to talk about why she did
not go to Jimmy Carter's funeral lots of speculation, and
did not go to the inauguration of Donald Trump. She's
gonna tell us in her own words, I'm interested.

Speaker 8 (01:07:56):
My decision to skip the inauguration, know what people don't realize,
or my decision to make choices at the beginning of
this year that suited me were met with such ridicule
and criticism, Like people couldn't believe that I was saying
no for any other reason that they had to assume
that my marriage was falling.

Speaker 9 (01:08:17):
Right.

Speaker 8 (01:08:17):
You know, It's like, while I'm here really trying to
own my life and intentionally practice making the choice that
was right for me, and it took everything in my
power to not do the thing that was right or
that was was that was perceived as right, but do

(01:08:38):
the thing that was right for me.

Speaker 1 (01:08:40):
That was a hard thing for me to do.

Speaker 8 (01:08:43):
I had to basically trick myself out of it. And
it started with not having anything to wear. I mean
I had, affirmatively because I'm always prepared for any funeral anything.
I was talking around with the right dress. I travel
with clothes just in case something pops off. So I
was like, if I'm not going to do this thing,

(01:09:03):
I gotta tell my team. I don't even want to
have a dress ready.

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
Right out of touch you, I'm not following. Good night?

Speaker 9 (01:09:12):
One more?

Speaker 1 (01:09:14):
One more voice, male female?

Speaker 3 (01:09:16):
Oh, Greg, there it is you?

Speaker 1 (01:09:20):
It is Did you talk about how to touch right there?

Speaker 8 (01:09:24):
How?

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
Yeah? When she travels with a wardrobe and her people
that he.

Speaker 5 (01:09:28):
Is that to docause because there's a story out of
she goes into why she didn't go to the inauguration,
and she said that she didn't want to go. She
didn't want to go, so she didn't take any clothes.

Speaker 3 (01:09:41):
She didn't want to wear. That's the whole thing. She
just didn't want to go, so I didn't go. But
then she turns it into this, I'm worrying about me
and living my life and caring about me and living
my truth on the team, putting.

Speaker 1 (01:09:52):
My wardrobe together. Yes, yes, owning my life. I heard
that Yeah, she said, I just did what I wanted
to do, and everybody got mad at me. If you
knew what I wanted to do, when of you? I mean,
it's kind of what everybody does.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
I will say though, that she is speaking into a
big mic.

Speaker 1 (01:10:11):
Yes she is. They got a nice setup, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:10:14):
Oh look at that big mic there. It is big,
big mic talking about the microphone.

Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
That's that was not articulating anything. No, you can email
us by going to Rick birdesshow dot com. Click on
the team and you'll see how to contact everybody and
follow everyone on social media as well. So someone has

(01:10:46):
done the chat gb GPT with our promotional picture. Hey Bird,
Hey Burge, I'm Dustin. Tell me that you guys have
seen this. Yes we have. We actually had an emailer
earlier talking about this. So they they have taken our
team picture and put it on chat GPT. It is

(01:11:06):
being roasted by an ai whatever. This was like a
promo pick for a new sitcom called Dad's After Dark.
It was four middle aged men solve mysteries like who
moved my reading glasses? And why does my knee hurt
when it rains? That's fun, good, gracious, that's good from
left to right. They start with Greg chat GPT said,

(01:11:29):
first guys giving suburban dad who just discovered Costco sweatpants
energy Rick, that's me. Next second guy, clearly the cool
dad probably owns more flannel than a lumberjack convention. It
says things like, I'm not a regular dad, I'm a
fun dad. He does like a fun dad, speedy. Third
guide looks like he lifts weights and spirits at the

(01:11:50):
church potluck adler. And the last guy that's the son
in law, trying way too hard to fit in rolled
up sleeve, hands in pockets like, hey, guys, I brew
my own what's komba? It's like a little healthy drink thing. Yeah, okay, okay,
And he said excited about it, And they said, what

(01:12:11):
kind of boy what kind of boy band is this? Picture?
Backstreet grown men?

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
That's good, that's not bad.

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
Show that's good. I mean, I think that's pretty. It's
pretty funny. You know that's pretty. That's that's pretty pretty
pretty good.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
By the way, we use this picture a lot, I've noticed,
and I've also noticed this the best picture y'all three
have taken in your entire freaking knives. And I look
like I just crapped my pants. It's the best picture
you'll have all taken.

Speaker 1 (01:12:43):
In your entire life. Or why have you got your
lost that picture up for it?

Speaker 3 (01:12:47):
I think my contact was messing up in that moment.
And you guys have used it. It's printed on the walls,
it's on the cover of newspapers, magazines.

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
One of your eyes is bigger than the other.

Speaker 3 (01:12:57):
Yes, I don't look like that.

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
You look great for someone that has a challenge.

Speaker 3 (01:13:01):
You too, do we use this picture?

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
I think you're just going like, hey, y'all pulled up.

Speaker 3 (01:13:05):
Y'all pulled the thing where mom gets to pick Mom
gets in the family picture. Oh, mom looks the best
in this one. Of course, the kid has his finger
and his nose in the other one. And use it anyway.
That's what y'all are doing to me.

Speaker 1 (01:13:18):
Wow, Yes, looks normal.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
I didn't know we were doing normal. Face you did slightly.

Speaker 1 (01:13:25):
Oh, none of those pictures we were doing slightly.

Speaker 3 (01:13:28):
Oh gosh, y'all look ten years younger in that picture.
And I look like I just have to change my drawer.

Speaker 9 (01:13:34):
You look.

Speaker 1 (01:13:34):
I think you look very naturally.

Speaker 15 (01:13:36):
That's how you look.

Speaker 3 (01:13:37):
That's not how I look.

Speaker 1 (01:13:38):
How you look that's how you look.

Speaker 3 (01:13:40):
I need to run to the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (01:13:41):
Well maybe you did, you look like you look at
me like that?

Speaker 3 (01:13:46):
I think seriously, like I think my contacts messed up.
And look, you can see my entire eyeball in one
of those shots like that, I look like I'm a free.

Speaker 1 (01:13:54):
It's like you're pondering something like I look.

Speaker 3 (01:13:57):
Like two face from Batman. My face doesn't. Actually the
other side, it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (01:14:01):
I have a good one. But I'm sorry, I have
to tell you the break. Okay, but it was gonna
just lay you by the way.

Speaker 3 (01:14:11):
Yeah, that makes you like the young.

Speaker 1 (01:14:16):
A g guy. What you are?

Speaker 3 (01:14:17):
My group chat of friends roasted me for this picture,
said you're okay, blink twice if you need help.

Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
It looks a little pen sexual goodness. Now, that's not
the one we're about putting on the wall right now,
is it?

Speaker 3 (01:14:29):
Yes, it's everywhere.

Speaker 9 (01:14:32):
That's not that.

Speaker 1 (01:14:33):
That's exactly let me see. I think I don't think
it is. I don't think it is. I don't think
it is. I think it's no way Adler would have
looked at them. And then there's one acur when you're
making a mean face. If you've seen that when you
got your hair down. Yes, yes, that one. I'm cool
you did that on purpose.

Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
Yes, I was on purpose.

Speaker 15 (01:14:51):
Here.

Speaker 1 (01:14:51):
I think you were trying to squeak one or.

Speaker 3 (01:14:52):
So I was like, did I leave my car unlocked?

Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
Or yeah, like that's got something I haven't seen that
looking well. No, but no, it's a different picture, isn't it.
It's different. It's not different, it's not the same. No,
I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:15:06):
I think you have face blind disease. You can't recognize face.
Face blindness. That's a real thing.

Speaker 1 (01:15:12):
By the way, I think it may be there. I
thought it was. I think it is now that I
look at it. I did. I think I'm sending you
the picture right now. Okay, so let me figure out
it'll be right there as you walk into No, I
just I was.

Speaker 5 (01:15:28):
I was emailing to him so he could show the
audience that we're not just trying to describe something leaning
against the wall, and they have no that they don't
know what.

Speaker 3 (01:15:34):
Okay, it's everywhere. It's hard print copies.

Speaker 1 (01:15:41):

normal man. And then some some slow kid.

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):

My gosh. They struggled getting the word show not covering
up his face? Yeah, on his right, his right eyeball.

Speaker 4 (01:18:12):

Look at me. You Sometimes people have an eye that's
smaller than they do. Look at me real quick. Your
left one is smaller.

come through.

Speaker 1 (01:18:33):
Let me see.

Speaker 3 (01:18:33):
It's probably something stupid and gay that you were faked. Okay, okay,
it's real. It's really putting it on the breaking.

It's everywhere Christian magazine.

Speaker 3 (01:18:46):
It's on the cover of that. Oh that's so nice.
They're witnessing to a fell in his mental problem. That's
what it looks like on the cover of Christian magazine.

Oh, we'll get unscreen phone calls in again before the
hour is done.

Speaker 9 (01:19:10):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:19:10):
And then supposedly we're hoping Hannity's scheduled be with us
next hour. People. People are now taking your picture and
putting it everywhere. I mean, it's you have just caused
it to grow and prominence. It's everywhere you've been holding
all that in. Yeah, I never knew that you should
have come to me. You should have talked to me
about that. We picked out the staff picture, not we, Yes,

(01:19:32):
you did. They were all out there and disappointed this
whole time, and we had I didn't know this. I
thought that was a great picture of the team. If

choose this one.

Speaker 3 (01:19:41):
It is a great picture of of y'all. It is
a great picture of y'all. Y'all are great.

Speaker 1 (01:19:45):
I never thought it was a bad picture of you.
I didn't either.

Speaker 5 (01:19:49):
Do you remember that T shirt we had back in
the day and y'all called me rusty? Yes, because the
way it printed it looked like one eye was going
one way and when I was going the other. I
love that it was printed on a T shirt.

Speaker 3 (01:20:00):
Psychopath.

Speaker 1 (01:20:00):
I think you look great that right Your right eye
is a lot bigger.

Speaker 3 (01:20:40):
Everybody does that thing. They look at themselves in a picture,

Speaker 5 (01:20:45):
I think we all agreed that was the best one,
and rob Eman did too. And I mean nobody besides you,
nobody thought it would look weird.

Speaker 3 (01:20:52):
Besides me. Nobody does look weird in that. So that's great.
I'm so glad that everybody took the best picture of
their lives and we can print it everywhere. Got billboards,

Yeah, that wouldn't pictures, No, no, no, no, honey, you
look normal. Yeah, the flags over here, that's so I
want to warn that. I want to warn this texture
from the text nation that thatshly sensitive right now. But
someone and I think it's I think, I'm sorry, sorry,

(01:22:04):
don't know or don't look at text. The pictures the picture.

Speaker 3 (01:22:09):
Block that.

Speaker 1 (01:22:12):
We'll block on.

Speaker 3 (01:22:13):
That's a good one, because that's a different picture. That's
different pictures.

Speaker 1 (01:22:21):
That's there, you go, that's on the website.

Speaker 3 (01:22:22):
They say that's on the YouTube channel because I set
the set that up one with three.

Speaker 1 (01:22:29):
He set the YouTube channel and picked a different picture.

Speaker 3 (01:22:31):
Yeah, of course I did.

Speaker 1 (01:22:32):
Why do you say something? Why did you say something?
We're just now learning about it. I mean, how did
you let me do that big print that they're hanging
up right now.

Speaker 3 (01:22:39):
I didn't think y'all were going to keep printing that
particular one, but you did. And also it's the best
picture y'all have ever taken of your life, so you're
gonna keep using it. I get it, it's fine.

Speaker 1 (01:22:51):
I really, I'm innocent. I really didn't think you think
about it. I thought you looked perfectly normal. Yeah again,
I don't now, but I did. Yeah, but now that's all,
I'm somebody's asking about the Bible study archive on the text.
It is there. I know, I know it is on
the BOT. Yeah. Yeah, they were like, oh, I miss
the shower stat I'm looking for the archive and I'm like,

(01:23:13):
it is there.

Speaker 3 (01:23:13):
So well that person sounds as stupid as I look.

Speaker 1 (01:23:16):
And there it is, and that's why I didn't want
to bring it up. Uh anyway, So okay, enough with
the pictures. I didn't know there were that many pictures
across eyed people either with the pictures keep sending them. Yeah,
really all these really should be centigrade. Okay, So this
is going to tie in Adler with the with the
video five C you know, make America Healthy Again. Rfk

(01:23:38):
is is wide open. We wish you had a spokesperson.

Speaker 4 (01:23:40):
We do.

Speaker 1 (01:23:41):
You're gonna hear that. You're gonna hear that every time.
But it kind of ties into an email that I got.
Guy says, I'm an eighth grade math teacher. This is
from uh, It says brand b r a m Okay,
while young, he's thirty six, I'm also the old soul
because I listen to you guys, and I take a

(01:24:02):
lot of things from the show and use them in
my job. Well, I'm sure as employers love hearing that
I wrote up about it, But this is about today's
kids all being soft. In addition to teaching math, these
children teaching math to these children against their will. I'm
doing my best to get them ready for high school
and the real world. Beyond that, these kids are constantly

(01:24:24):
asking to go see the nurse for any minor inconvenience.
He said. When I heard the term try acting the
other day on the show, best thing I've heard in
a while, and it has become my de facto response
when they keep being asked to go to the school
nurse for nothing, paper cuts and things like this. Now,

(01:24:45):
I do admit I'm a bit of a Greg's minion
and said tell them suck it up. He said that
the show has some great sayings that I have also
adopted and I share from time to time. I do
tone them down if it comes from Greg. Uh, And
so they're saying, He's saying, is there anything else you
guys could tell me? We may be able to put

(01:25:05):
a few men back in this candy generation Disclaimer, Rick
Bird's show and its employees will not be held responsible
for any future outcomes from this email. I'm a postcard listener.
Never heard this term before postcard liss. So I'm three
days behind postcard listener. Never heard that term. Well, what
he may what he may be dealing with is what

(01:25:27):
RFK is saying. Now, I have not heard this yet,
and can we can we confirm this? Here's what he
says about the testosterone level of a teenage mail today,
and listen to what he says, I.

Speaker 11 (01:25:43):
Really a teenager today? An American teenager has less testosterone
than as a sixty eight year old man.

Speaker 1 (01:25:48):
Firm counciler down fifty percent. American teenager has.

Speaker 3 (01:25:52):
A less testosterone than a sixty year old man.

Speaker 11 (01:25:54):
That's right. Test Osterone levels have dropped fifty percent from
historic levels. And you know, and is a problem, and
it's an existential problem. But it's only that it is
only when we have abesity that is off the charge. Again,
when my uncle was president, we had about eleven percent
of people are kids at Apia City. Today, seventy four
percent of Americans are obesa overweight. And you know in
Japan it's three percent. Oh, you know, and that's because

(01:26:15):
they pay attention to what they're feeding kids in school.

Speaker 5 (01:26:18):
Yeah, the Japanese are very skinny, except for the sumo wrestlers.

Speaker 3 (01:26:20):
Those people not so skinny. All right, so good one, Jesse.

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
You couldn't understand back numbers up? Well, that's my question. Greg,
you're you're You're right where I am? I know that
he says that testosterone levels for a an American teenage
male right now is less than a sixty eight year
old man. How can you say that because everybody's is
different a lot of I don't know, That's what I'm asking.

(01:26:45):
How do you where? Where did this come from? I'm
not mean this sixty six year old man or all
sixty six year old man. You know what I'm saying.
That's funny there. If it were to be true, I
would not be surprised. I'm just wondering how we can
say it's true than the exaggeration maybe, And he said,
like when you talk like that and you try to
use big words like existential. Okay, Greg, Greg again, every

(01:27:09):
time you know what you know? What's sad is? I
think that RFK Junior, at times like right now, is
bringing some intriguing, at times provocative information to us. We
just can't take the way he talks. And I know
that's probably shallow and I need to get past it.
But I find myself when I see these videos and
audio available, and when I see RFK JR. I tend

(01:27:29):
to pass over them because I'm highly sensitive to so
as it.

Speaker 5 (01:27:33):
Does or just other people more professional, because I'll hear
his segments or video or audio role in the host
doesn't even mention it.

Speaker 3 (01:27:41):
That's right, what he said it. What do you think
they're going to mention it? Oh, your voice sounds funny?
Mention it because they're adults.

Speaker 1 (01:27:48):
On this do Greg has his hands? My point is
it makes me, uh be more critical of his facts
because the way he's saying I knew it. I'm not
happy about that. That makes me skeptical. I'm skeptical of
what he's saying because he sounds that way when he says, boy,
that is bad. I'm that in no way that's right. Oh,
but it's really not the content that I think is

(01:28:08):
not right. I guess it's the sound and it translates
to content. If he would speak clearer. It can't help it, y'all.
It's got some kind of in this very clear something
as bad as it is in this very this very clip.
I found myself because of what you said, Speedy, there's
others that are probably fine. So I don't want it
to be that, you know, I can't take this away.
I found myself wing excited when this was over, so

(01:28:31):
I could just read to you what he said. Yeah,
but because reading and talking about it it was more
comfortable than hearing him talk about it. But but I
don't know where we get this information at everybody's fast.

Speaker 3 (01:28:43):
If you look at it over over the years, there
is a huge decrease, sure, and he mentioned it. The
testosterone levels the county, the count got it levels, and
then you see obesity through the roof, diabetes through the
roof and in children, and so his his numbers are correct.

(01:29:03):
I don't know why you guys think you know more
than him. No, it's fine.

Speaker 1 (01:29:07):
I was just wondering, is have we and I will
say this, have you noticed we've got I've never seen
a generation with so many problems with fertility, Yes, and
carrying children to full term. Yes, there is something there. Yes,
this seems to be us.

Speaker 3 (01:29:28):
Not wrong with his brain, Greg, it's just a voice.

Speaker 7 (01:29:31):
Is the Rick Burgess Show?

Speaker 1 (01:29:38):
So other things to discuss going into the hour. We
actually it looks like we're about to have Handity on
the show. Speedy seems to be connecting with him now.
So I don't want to go chasing anything other than
what we already have. But there we do have a
story where people are discussing the first one hundred days
of the Trump administration, and we will ask Handy about that.

(01:30:03):
So he joins us. Now, Sean, welcome to the Rick
Burgers Show. Buddy, how are you Rick?

Speaker 9 (01:30:10):
Rich? What's going on?

Speaker 3 (01:30:11):
Man and Speedy?

Speaker 9 (01:30:13):
We got Speedy there.

Speaker 1 (01:30:15):
Yeah, you got Speedy, you got Greg, you got Adler,
and now we have Handity. It's it's complete.

Speaker 9 (01:30:22):
Now you're stuck with Hannity.

Speaker 1 (01:30:23):
That's never good man. How you doing?

Speaker 9 (01:30:25):
I'm getting some feedback on this phone.

Speaker 1 (01:30:27):
I don't know. It's fine on Marian, we got we
got nothing? How about now? Is that better? Check one
two testing for Handy better handity? Test one two for handity.

Speaker 9 (01:30:38):
I may see if I do. How's out of that better?

Speaker 7 (01:30:40):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:30:40):
That's much better. That is much better.

Speaker 9 (01:30:42):
That is much better. That is much more clear. I
miss you, guy. I have not spoken to you.

Speaker 1 (01:30:47):
It was so long, it is I.

Speaker 9 (01:30:50):
Can't believe it.

Speaker 1 (01:30:51):
You know we've been here.

Speaker 9 (01:30:51):
I still am getting feedback. I don't know why I
don't like feedback of my ear.

Speaker 1 (01:30:55):
I'm going to call you back, yeah, if it'd be
better for you and uh and and try to gecause
on our end you sound perfectly fine.

Speaker 9 (01:31:03):
Okay, I can handle it.

Speaker 7 (01:31:04):
I'm a no, you can call back.

Speaker 1 (01:31:05):
Call back, Sean, if you don't like it, call back.
We need you to be comfortable. We need you to
be in your element.

Speaker 9 (01:31:11):
Just just hearing your voice makes me feel better here
in everybody's voice. I miss you guys, uh and uh,
happy for you here. Everything's going well. You know, we
all go through life and life's jumps on the roads
and it's my life is rough man. You ever read
the Road Left Travel. Life is hard and the irony

(01:31:33):
is once you realize what the paradox is, once you
accept that, life gets a little bit easier.

Speaker 1 (01:31:39):
Yeah. Yeah, you know, we've been talking to sweet baby James.
We've been talking to Linda. But the last time that
we were like, okay, it's just us talking. Now. It
has been a while and you have been crazy busy.
It doesn't like you are slowing down in the least.
Is that a joke?

Speaker 9 (01:31:56):
I know you like the joke in the morning. My
life's insane, if you really want to know the truth.
And you know, I get up in the morning, I
work out really hard every day. I do my boss,
I'm like fifteen years into it. And then it's you know,
pedal to the metal and I go, go, go, and
I pretty much don't stop all day. And you know,

(01:32:21):
I study hard, I do.

Speaker 8 (01:32:22):
I do.

Speaker 9 (01:32:23):
Look, I'm a little bit more of a news information
opinion show. You guys do all of that, but you
had a lot more comedy. You're a lot funnier than
I am. And I've got a TV show to write,
I've got a radio show to do, and radio shows exploded,
which I'm really happy about. TV show is doing great.

(01:32:44):
And then I do a new podcast for Fox Nation,
which I really like doing too, which is fun.

Speaker 1 (01:32:51):
So it's good.

Speaker 9 (01:32:52):
And what's going on, what's going on with your life?
How's everything down there?

Speaker 1 (01:32:56):
You know, it's great. You know, we got the new
show going. We're in our fourth month. We loved all
the years of Rick and Bubba, and you were a
big part of that. That was thirty one years and
you know, not meaning people have.

Speaker 9 (01:33:07):
To go from Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba, Rick
and Bubba to Rick and Speedy, Rick and Speedy, Rick,
you can Rick Burgess.

Speaker 1 (01:33:14):
Rick Burgess, Rick, are you going to say? Stand up
and shot?

Speaker 9 (01:33:18):
I mean I can kind of start dissing on Bubba
for you know, bailing on you. I know, he's a
big athletic director now, which I'm very happy about it.

Speaker 1 (01:33:26):
I mean, he's got just like he like, you.

Speaker 9 (01:33:29):
Know, he had no he had no right to leave
this show. And he never called me and asked permission
to leave that show. What's up with that? Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:33:35):
You know, he's doing a podcast now and doing the
I think we're all doing podcasts now. So Bubba's got it.

Speaker 9 (01:33:41):
Like he's still pretending to be a tennis player too,
because he ain't a tennis player.

Speaker 1 (01:33:45):
I don't remember the last time that I can honestly
say he actually played. It's been, it's been. You know,
we're all getting older now. But now we're doing that,
you know, still doing the Wednesday.

Speaker 9 (01:33:54):
But as long as he's not here, we're free to
like take all the shots we want at him.

Speaker 1 (01:33:59):
Please don't they don't You're gonna this is all Sean Hannity.
He took shots a.

Speaker 9 (01:34:04):
No, no, only out of love. Come on, I love
a guy.

Speaker 4 (01:34:06):
You know that now you do.

Speaker 1 (01:34:07):
You've always been good to all of us and we're
thankful for that. But we're doing the show during the day,
we're the same thing doing. You know, got another podcast.
You know that, we have the archives every day. We're
still doing stuff, you know, with a Wednesday Bible study,
still doing men's ministry to a huge degree with the
Manchurch dot Com, a lot of speaking events. That's awesome. Yeah,
I got another book coming out and I think you

(01:34:29):
and I even get to visit on that. So thank
you for that.

Speaker 9 (01:34:31):
Yeah, I think you're gonna I think you're coming on
my show to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:34:33):
Yeah, looking, I'm looking forward to that. So while we
have you with everything you have going, the first one
hundred days of the Trump administration is almost here. I
think we're what at day ninety three or something like that.
While we're doing this interview, what's your assessment of You've
talked to him a number of times and where do

(01:34:54):
you think we are. Have we even seen the beginning
of what's to come?

Speaker 9 (01:34:59):
Yeah, we've still be I mean, he's everything that he's
doing is heavy. He's and I believe he's going to
be successful. What he inherited was an absolute mess around
the world and here at home and everything from illegal immigration.

(01:35:20):
It's kind of hard to fathom that we went four
years with a president that didn't know what day of
the week it was and could barely utter two sentences together.
And we had Democrats a lying to us for four
years telling us that, oh, no, he's hard for me
to keep up. He had young staffers like circle bag Zensaki,

(01:35:40):
Oh he's hard for me to keep up with. I'm like, man,
you're out of shape. Because that guy was a cognitive mess.
Everybody knew it, and he declined significantly throughout his presidency,
and we barely heard from the president and the things
that he was doing were not good for the country.
Probably one of the worst is open borders, but also

(01:36:03):
in foreign policy. I mean, he stood idly by and
allowed Vladimir Putin and Russia to build up troops along
the Ukrainian border, and was asked at one point if
what's going to happen if Putin invades and he says, well,
it depends if it's a minor incursion. Well, first of all,
are you really stupid? He's not sending all those troops

(01:36:25):
and all that military equipment there just for his health.
He was planning a massive invasion and you stood idly by,
and you didn't even try and stop it. He was
not supportive of Israel after October seventh. But more importantly,
he allowed the Iranians Donald Trump had when he left

(01:36:45):
office the first time, he had the Iranians on the
run and on the verge of bankruptcy, which was great
for the region, and that unfortunately Biden turned a blind
eye towards. They thanked the sanctions Trump put in place,
and as a result, they were able to accumulate massive

(01:37:06):
amounts billions and billions of dollars, and he even gave
specific waivers so that they could get massive billion dollar
payments from Iraq and elsewhere, and he'd let them sell
their oil on the world market. And the result of
that was they got rich, and with that they were
on the They could have been toppled. The regime could

(01:37:28):
have otherwise been toppled because there was an uprising in
the country because they're so fed up with the Mullas.
I don't think any normal person would want to live
under their tyrannical rule. And so then you see, they
helped plot plan and scheme what happened October seven, twenty
twenty three. That would have been the equivalent of forty

(01:37:48):
thousand dead Americans in a day based on their population
size versus ours. And you know, I'm not sure what
part of murder and kidnapping and torture and beheading that
the Left doesn't understand. And this pro Hamas wing of
the Democratic Party and on college campuses and in the
halls of Congress. But that's what they did. And you know,

(01:38:12):
in large parks they had the money to foment this terror.
They help organize with the Kuds forces in a radiant
revolutionary guard, the Plan of October seventh. They provided the
weaponry for it. They've been supplying weapons to Islamic Jihad
and Hezbalah in the North out of Lebanon, and the

(01:38:33):
Huti rebels out of Yemen. And then they're firing their
own missiles from directly from Iran trying to get into Israel.
They did that on two separate occasions, so they you know,
Biden left the mess. He left the mess in Europe,
he left the Messa in the Middle East, he left
the mess at our border. I mean, we now have
known terrorists in our country, but we don't know where

(01:38:54):
they are. We have murderers, we have rapists, we have
partel members, we have gang members. During the campaign against Kamala,
you know, every night I tried to scroll a list
of names of victims of Americans murdered, rape and victims
of other violent crimes to make people aware of what

(01:39:15):
the hell they did here allowing twelve fourteen, whatever the
number is, million people unvetted into the country. So it's
become the biggest national security disaster in our lifetime. So
back to Trump, you know, he's now he's trying to
do a lot of things simultaneously. And number one, he's
done a great job of securing the border. I would

(01:39:36):
say that's his greatest success in one hundred days. He's
not deporting illegal alien criminals in spite of judge shopping
and activist judges. He's working towards getting a peace deal
in Europe and hopefully one day piece in the Middle
East that may take some military action against the Ran

(01:39:56):
before all said and done. If they're not willing to
allow any place, anywhere, anytime, inspections of the nuclear sites
and stop, you know, stop enriching uranium those two things
have to be critical. And on the other hand, then
he wants to bring us to energy dominance. He wants
America also to have free and fair trade and not

(01:40:17):
get ripped off financially. So you know, everything he's doing
is a big heavy lift, and you know, so far,
I think he's done a good job.

Speaker 1 (01:40:27):
Any shot that we could talk to you for five
more minutes or do.

Speaker 15 (01:40:29):
You have to go?

Speaker 9 (01:40:31):
I got five minutes for you guys.

Speaker 1 (01:40:33):
Of course, all right, we'll do the quick break. If
you want to call us back, you can, but to
send it good for us. We'll be right back a
little more with Sean Handy right after this. The audience
in America wants to know your opinion. Do you think
the Republican Congress is doing enough? You obviously laid out

(01:40:54):
what Trump is trying to do and what he's already done.
Do you think the Republican Congress are they doing what
we voted them to do?

Speaker 9 (01:41:04):
Well, let me just backtrack a little bit. I think
if I could urge people to understand whether it's deporting criminals,
securing the border, energy dominance, restoring lawn order, you know,
stopping America getting ripped off and taken advantage of and

(01:41:24):
screwed over by other countries, even allied countries, bringing peace
to Europe, bringing peace to the Middle East, you know,
creating the next generation of weaponry, whatever it happens to be.
These are all big things. So I want people to
manage their expectations. It's not like you snapped your finger
and it's going to get done. Although Trump has been

(01:41:46):
working on it since day one. Look to Congress, it's
it's tricky. I mean, you've got all these various factions
in the Republican Party, and you know, we've got small
majorities in both the House and Senate. The I don't
want to get to technical in terms of the reconciliation process.
Right now, we are living under the Biden Harris economy.

(01:42:08):
This is they own it. They built it. First quarter
GDP probably won't be great. That's on them. It's not
on Trump and the first step towards implementing the Trump
Financial Agenda. It's not only free and fair trade versus
reciprocal terrorists, which no president has accomplished in fifty or

(01:42:29):
sixty years. We've just been ripped off and it's got
the market spooked a little bit. But that Frankly, that's predictable.
It doesn't scare me that I believe will get those
trade deals done and the next step is reconciliation. Now,
there are very very arcane, arduous, difficult, insane rules so

(01:42:54):
that the Senate can pass issues involving the budget with
fifty one votes, not needing sixty votes to get the
cloture if it has to do with with finances. But
those rules are very very hard. That's how Obama Care

(01:43:14):
was passed, That's how the inflation reduction bill was passed. Sure,
and so far the Senate's getting it done. Now some
House members, even more conservative House members, are a little
ticked off about it all because their attitude is, well,
wait a minute, we're not cutting enough spending yet. And
you know, well, I would say right now, that's that's

(01:43:35):
probably the best deal you're going to get based on
what the Senate has to deal with. Now, we've never
returned to regular order in a long time. The last
the last time we balanced the budget nwk Ingrich was speaker.
He and Clinton got together. Clinton had to pivot after
he had a miserable two years as president and hillary
Care failed. The era of big government is over. The

(01:43:57):
end of welfare as we know it. Clinton and New
balance the budget for five consecutive years and it's not
been balanced since. So, you know, Republicans right to want
to get control of the budget. They have an opportunity
because the financial year begins October first, to get that,
to get back to constitutional and regular order and get

(01:44:19):
budget bills passed before the beginning of the financial year
that should include all of the necessary cuts that they
would need. That would include those eliminating waste, fraud, abuse, corruption,
and so they just got to get there, and I
think they will.

Speaker 1 (01:44:36):
I mean, I'm.

Speaker 9 (01:44:37):
Cautiously optimistic that they will. It might take a little
bit of pressure from your audience and my audience and
you know, giving out phone numbers to Capitol Hill and
get into the bottom of it.

Speaker 1 (01:44:48):
So the final question is I know that you continue
to work out, and do you think you can take me?

Speaker 9 (01:44:57):
I could kick your ass. And by the way, and
I'm that thing, I will never I would. I would
turn around and like run rather than have to do
what I do. Situational self defense it's an eclectic blend

(01:45:17):
of arts. It's krabmagoque, tempo, Japanese jiu jitsu. We work
with fixed blades FI our arms. It's situational self defense.

Speaker 1 (01:45:26):
At a very high level.

Speaker 6 (01:45:27):
And I work under every possible scenario in combinations, and
basically I will blind you, i will rap your jaw
off its hinge.

Speaker 9 (01:45:39):
It'll knock you out. You probably will have a hard
time walking in the future, and you will not have
and you will not have any more children, not that
you were planning anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:45:49):
Children, Hannity, has this guy ever taught you? I found
myself alone in the center of small town, Alabama, and
I'm facing Burgess.

Speaker 9 (01:46:00):
Look, I'm just telling you, man, you're two people. Look,
I'm just telling you. I don't ever want to have
to lay a hand on you. The next time we
are together, I will show you the stuff that we do,
and it's it's pretty hardcore and badass.

Speaker 1 (01:46:27):
Hey, Rick, Here from the Rick Burgess Show. Tomorrow, action
packed another Burgess ball battle as the box seats will
feel will break down the stories of the day, and
