  Speaker 1: Strange Encounters. We'll try to do a new one this week.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Great feedback on that ongoing podcast, even on the ship.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: So one guy, this very nice guy who listens to
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: our show, we did some.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Meet and greets during the week.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: So I did a little Q & A one night.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: And you know what he asked?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: He asked, he wants you and I doing more Strange Encounters.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: He doesn't want a week to go by that we're
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: not doing one.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: I get that.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: And I told him, I said, well, here's the thing.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: And he seemed to receive it. I said, we're not
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: going to do one just for the sake of doing one.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: If we don't think we have anything or people are
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: making a big deal out of something, but we kind
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: of researched it and we're like, you know, we're not
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: going to go looking for something around every corner.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: But I did miss it. And I do look forward
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to doing a new one this week. So that'll be happening.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: And then, of course, the tour starts back this week. Uh,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: and that's going to be Huntsville on Friday night. And
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I couldn't be more excited about that. I, I was
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: getting excited coming back on the plane thinking I look
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: forward to get, I have really enjoyed the first two
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: weeks of this tour. That's another opportunity to interact with
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: so many of you, you know, in the same room and,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: and get instant feedback and meet so many of you.
• 4:53

• 6:08
  Speaker 1: what time and all that. But let me start off
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: by doing this.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Adler, just pay attention with the cameras because I'm going
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: to have a ceremony with Speedy. What you got? <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> Whoa!
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's that original. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Here is the broadcast case. Oh, my goodness. But equipment's
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: not in it. Well, we'll talk about that today. It's
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: a little light. It's a little light. I did get
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the case back. Sadly, no equipment. No, I'll talk about that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: I can't wait to see how it's packed in there.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: You're not going to be. It wasn't as easy. Why
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the headphones don't work? Ah, well. Yeah, there's a very
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: good chance the headphones are shorted out, but they're in there.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: But anyway, here is the case. Speedy, if you have
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: your scissors. Okay. What you got?
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I even left the Oceana luggage tag on here for
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: this to be taken to my room every day. and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: make sure it's there, and you can officially cut that off.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, you can take it off, and you keep that. Well,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: do I want that?
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Cut it off. Cut it off.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: Are you kidding me?
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I just gave it to Speedy. I just gave it
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: to Speedy. Wow. Hey, that thing's been everywhere. Man, if
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: this thing could talk. Let me tell you what will
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: not surprise you in the least. Golly. We get that.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I've gone through so many security checks with that and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: carried that everywhere, overhead. Here we go. Overhead on the plane.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I wish it'd be empty.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: That was my carry-on, all that. I wish it'd be empty.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: You left your underwear in here.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Well, it.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Doggone it.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: That's for packing.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Good job, Rick. Is that bad? That's good, buddy. Is
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: that bad? You did so good. And headphones look like
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: they may not recover. I'm proud of you, man. Is
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: that bad? I thought that was pretty good. No, it's
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: not bad. It's not bad. It may be the worst
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: next year's cruise. Okay. It's not bad. It's not great. Hey,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: that's pretty good. Is that all right?
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: It's in there.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: It's in there, bud.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Boy, sure did. Hey, did it not work great?
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: Oh, it was fantastic.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: God, I'm so proud of that equipment. Thank you, Tom.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Speedy. Yeah. Thank you, all the IT team
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: there at Oceana.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: And thank you, Elon Musk.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: And thank you, Elon Musk, for Starlink.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: It wasn't even a delay.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: No.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: We didn't have to wait for you to talk.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: It was amazing. And I'll be honest with you, too.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I believe even.
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: SSI, Robert and Mary Carey, I think they were even
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: surprised because they do their travel show from these ships
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: a lot. And they're like, oh, you're going to have,
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: it's going to be some latency there and blah, blah, blah,
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: and just be patient with it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: And there never was.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: As predicted, and I'll tell you when we come back,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: as predicted, I'll tell you about the life of this
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: little case right here.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Because Sherry said, by the way, your case looks like trouble.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: She goes, it's not. It draws attention. It does.
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: It does.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: And I said, it does. But I went through all that.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: We get down to the final hop home.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: And so we're sitting down and I'm waiting on Sherry
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: and she's coming out of the bathroom. We're trying to
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: go to our gate. And I get up and start walking.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: She goes, hey, you want to go back and get
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the broadcast stuff? I got up and left it sitting
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: by my chair and almost left it on the very
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: last hop.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, hey, let me tell you something.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: Security, there'd have been a call here.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Somebody left us suspicious. They had to get a robot
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: and had to go up to it. Oh, you know it.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Why is Miami International shut down? Well, yeah, and if
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: you were with us on the cruise, as you get
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: home today, let me know. There's Michael from Texas. Uh, Michael,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: it was great to meet you and your mom.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, cool.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: That was, he's called before and I think was here too.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Had a great time. But I think so.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: We'll be back.
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: This is the Rick Burgess show.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: As you get there on Friday night, also from Tennessee, Rick,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: what time Birmingham time? Did your journey start back home
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: from Venice?
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: So y'all ready to get the calculators out? So my
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: flight left Trieste, I'm sure I'm.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Not saying that right, Italy. That's close enough. At 11.15 a.m.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Local time, which would have been, I think in Trieste,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: seven hours ahead of y'all. So that would have been four, right?
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: So 4.15.
• 10:18
  Speaker 10: Mm-hmm.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: So at 4.15 a.m. our time, we climbed on the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: first plane. The plane started taxiing away.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: We landed in Birmingham, Alabama at 11 p.m.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Last night.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: So that's 4.15 to 4.15 is 12 hours.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: And then 4.15 to 11 is almost another seven. So
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: 19 hours of flying. Wow.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: Whew.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: And let me tell you, those of you that have
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: done it, you all know these timelines.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: And they would put, you know, how you pull my
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: flight up and I was sitting there looking at my
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: flight and it was telling me the time it was
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: where we left and the time it was where we
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: were going. And really it was so mind boggling. I
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: decided to turn it off. I'm like, I can't think
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: like that. No, you know, and so in my mind,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: when I went to bed a few minutes ago, I was, um,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I just had to get in the mindset that I've
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: come back from a flight at 11 o'clock in Birmingham.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: And anything before that doesn't matter. Before that doesn't matter.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I got to go right back. I just go to
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: sleep like I'm having a late night. Like we have. Adler,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: my goodness, I probably still slept more than Adler.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean, with your kids, you know, waking
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: you up every night. That was one thing that made
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: me come on in. I thought, well, Adler has this
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: every night.
• 11:36
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: Occasionally.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And plus, I think, you know, I can do
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: a good catch-up day today. Yeah. Yeah. Even though you.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Science shows us you can't catch up, but you know.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: What I mean.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: You're going to sleep so good tonight.
• 11:48
  Speaker 12: Oh, yeah.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: And how good did your bed feel last night?
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: So very good.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: Just amazing.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Lisa brought that up. She goes, I bet they're going
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: to be so glad they're home. Oh, look, it's wonderful.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I will say being on, I've never been on a
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: luxury cruise line before. That was my first time. It
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: is night and day from a lot of your cruise lines.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: And even the smallest room. is like double the size
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: of the room that like Sherry and I were in
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: on our honeymoon.
• 12:15
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: You know, and stuff like that.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And they have, you know, you've got a good view and,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: and the beds actually are quite comfortable, but it's just
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: not the same because everything's.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Everything's the same as your house.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Well, look, let's face it. When you're, when you're on
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: a cruise, it's wonderful. And they do give you a
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: lot of time where you're just doing your own thing,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: but you're, you're now living your life with, and I think,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I think Oceana, and I know different cruise lines have
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: different size ships. This new one, I believe is 650 cabins.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: So you're sharing and that's, that's actually small in the cruise.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: That's not, you know, like there's some to have, you know,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: double that, but, um, but you're still living your life
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: where they go in general.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: This is what's happening.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: So, you know, they got to clean these cabins every day.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: They got to, they got to make announcements about what's
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: going on every day. So it's not like being home
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: because at home, the quietness of home is just a
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: whole different world.
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: And, um, yeah, these, these cruises and, and these, uh,
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: you know, excursion people and everything to them.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: It's, you know, it's their job.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: So I was just thinking, you know, so they brought
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: y'all back and then they just started and do it
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: all over again. And somebody else says they've been planning
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: for it and they expect this wonderful.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: They just do it again. Well, and if he's good,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: it's kind of what they do.
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: If you've ever gotten on an office ship, that's quite
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: an operation. I don't know how they do it. I mean,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: it's amazing what, And think about this. Then you let
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: people get off the ship and go into these countries,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: and you try to get them all back.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Get them all back. Sometimes you don't. Right.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: And which ones you need your passport for and which
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: ones you just need your room key for. By the way,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the room key is crucial.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You better carry that with you. Can't get in
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: if you. They really love that, don't they? They love
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: that room key. Where's your room key? That room key,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: that's your identification on that ship the whole time.
• 14:02
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Somebody said, did Brody even know y'all left Birmingham? This
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: is my son. He's just now here. That claims that
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: nobody tells him anything.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you, he had Sherry and I laughing
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: so hard last night at one of the airports we
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: were in.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: So Sherry's been posting all these pictures.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: And if you follow us on social media, there's some
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: great pictures out there. And there's been some updates from
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Venice if you haven't seen that. And we'll talk about
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: that later. But All of a sudden, Sherry's sitting in
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: all these just– you can't even believe what you're seeing,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the beauty of this world, okay, and beautiful places.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, out of nowhere, with no warning,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: which made it great, Brody sends a picture of the
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Econo Lodge in Vestavia where he lives. He goes, yep,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: I've seen some pretty cool things ourselves. Yeah, that's right.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: We're showing that ship. We're showing the rooms. We're showing
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: our hotel in Venice. He puts up the Econo Lodge
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: right outside of Birmingham.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: And so it's, I did miss the MyPillow. That's 100% Tennessee.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: You didn't want to drag it around. Well, you can't.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: There's just no room. I mean, Sherry, wow. There was
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: just one suitcase. That thing looked like a tank.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you, on our last, not last flight home,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: but the first place we started, Sweet lady. She wasn't
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: mad about it at all, but buddy, she got out
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: a sticker and put heavy on it.
• 15:29
  Speaker 12: Heavy.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: That's heavy. Because Sherry had them underweight going because she
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: can put them on the scales and all that. But
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: once you've been.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: in a week unpacking and you just, you're, you got
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: dirty clothes, you got stuff you didn't wear.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Stuff you bought.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: And now, now you. Them shorts that you had didn't
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: take up much room.
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: Oh yeah.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Did they make them back?
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: They didn't.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: They didn't take up much room at all. Let me
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: tell you my shorter shorts.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: If they don't make a debut at the tour, I'm
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: going to be mad. You walk out with them on.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you, everybody's saying, if you don't come
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: out with them shorts on.
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: But that front row, they'll never be the same. Looking
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: up at that.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I want people to hear the show. Not, not, I
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: don't want people, you know, staring at my legs, me
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: causing women to stumble.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: You don't want to be a stumbling block. I don't
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: want to be a distraction. You don't want to be
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: that guy. I don't want to distract you from the show. So, yeah.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: But I'll tell you one thing. I took some heat
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: on him shorts. I mean, some heat.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Hey.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Funny. It's funny. Yeah. Very funny.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: And with the broadcast stuff, weird. I will say this
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: now that I'm home. I can say it. You can't
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: say it. Did you know that I was only asked
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: to open it one time? It went through the scanner once.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Everywhere.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, countries.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Local didn't surprise me. But what surprised me is that
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: it's going through scanners all over the world. And the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: only guy that asked me to open it, I think
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: he was just curious.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: He didn't see me. They can see.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: Through it all now.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you something.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I don't want to spook any of you, but those
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: of you out there that if you've never traveled internationally.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Let me just be straight up with you. It's very confusing,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: especially when you're.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Entering a country. It like, you know, when we entered into,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: when you enter, like, say you're coming back into America.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Okay. And we talked about this a little bit. I
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: want to update you on something. If you're not paying
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: attention to what they're telling you to do, you can
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: get in a real bond because you've got to get off.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: You got to go through with your passport once, then
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: you got to go get your luggage.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: And you're not home yet. You still have another connection
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: to get home. Take it off.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Go through another area where they take it back from
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: you again. Put it on another belt. Then your passport.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Now you're going through customs. So there's a passport. Take
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: your luggage. We're checking it again. Oh, we're checking everything
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: you got again before you get to go into your connections.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: And if you don't pay attention, you miss one of
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: those steps.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: You're in a bind. Because if you didn't go get
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: your luggage, because you think it's ticketed all the way home,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: you're going to get home and it ain't going to
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: be there.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: That's what JC and Colson, that's where they messed up.
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: They were like, we didn't go get our luggage.
• 18:11
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: But you got to listen. I mean, there's a lot
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: going on with all that.
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: And now more than ever. So at the very end,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, no, getting on the plane in Rome, getting
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: on in Rome.
• 18:25
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: They made us, for some reason, we had to show
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: our passport again to get on. And then there was
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: a second, like you're trying to get on the plane,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: two more people stop you again and want to see
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: your carry-on again. Now, that carry-on's already come through several times.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: And that guy, but he made Sherry take everything out
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: of her backpack too.
• 18:46
  Speaker 10: Oh, wow.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: So he just looked at me and he goes, open
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: that for me.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: And I thought, here it is. This is the time.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Here it is.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: And he got the little bomb stuff and he kind
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: of went all over it and Then finally he was like,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: what is this? And I said, it's broadcast equipment. And
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: for a minute I think he was kind of interested.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: I think he kind of wanted to look at.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: It for a minute.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: What's the name of your podcast?
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: And then coming into.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Miami, Miami was weird because they weren't asking for our carry-on.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: They were just passporting us again. Our carry-on had already
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: come through scanners, no problem. Our luggage had been taken off,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: scanned again, put back on. But then all of a
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: sudden out of nowhere, the guy, you know, they take
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: a picture of your face now.
• 19:23
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: You know, boop.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: And he goes, all right. And also he goes, what
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: is that? And I'm like, excuse me? Oh, no. What
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: is that? And I said, this? It's my carry-on. I
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: know that. What is it? It's broadcast equipment. He goes, okay.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: That was it.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: So it really didn't cause as much alarm as we
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: were afraid it would. But then there's a side of
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: me that goes, but shouldn't it have been?
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. Was it the headphones that kept putting
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: it through?
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: No.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: They would look at it and they'd send it through.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Did he question how you repacked everything? How did you
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: repack it? That's a little bit of mess here. You're
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: going to have to get the new headphone. Now you
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: shut that out. We'll come back. Hey, football over the weekend. Wow.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: It was a little crazy. I just saw it.
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: The Rick Burgess Show.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: So is the big story because, you know, the way
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: where I was living, we were seven and eight hours
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: ahead of you based on where we were. So by
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: the time college football scores are coming in.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: We're, we're asleep.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: You know, I did, there was one guy on the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: tour that tried to go in there and he thought
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: he could watch the games like at three in the morning,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: you know, on his TV. He never, we never could
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: find them, but I was asleep then. I didn't try that. But, um,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: so I'm, you know, the, the scores are still kind
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: of trickling to me, but I guess the, in college football, um,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: you know, college pro, the, the big story that, that
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I didn't expect, I know Missouri's good.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: But I didn't expect them to hammer Florida. And they did.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: And they hammered them. They did. Because we all started
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: getting on the Florida train.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, we were chomping. We were all saying, hey,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: they might be the premier of the conference this year.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: And then Missouri just spanks them.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't see any of the games, so I
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: can't comment on how it went. I was very surprised.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: But I did see Sumrall saying basically, which he's 100% right,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: especially in that conference– If you start thinking too high
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: of yourself, you'll get humbled real quick.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: You sure will.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: And so that was a surprise.
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: And I thought the Missouri head coach– I'm sorry, I
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: forget his name.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: I apologize to all of you. Ding, ding. What's a
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: ding thing? What is it?
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: That's why I didn't attempt it. Something like that. But
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: he said– Drinkwits. Drinkwits.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: Elia Drinkwits.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: That's a tough one, Greg. Missouri's head coach is that?
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: The head football coach, Elia Drinkwits.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Drinkwits, yeah. Okay. Anyway, I didn't think that was– I
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: don't want to hear that. That doesn't sound right.
• 21:58
  Speaker 13: Eliah.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: I've never heard– I don't know if his– I've heard Elijah.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: I didn't know his name was Eliah. He's Eliah Drinkwits.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: My bad.
• 22:04
  Speaker 11: My bad.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: Anyway, he said what everybody's got to understand is every game,
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: every week has a personality of its own. Everybody tries
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: to go, oh, this is your season. When you're in
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: the SEC, every week is like its own little monster.
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: And you have to– you have to play that week. And,
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: and because it's, it's not like that week carries on
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: into this week. It's a, it's a totally different week
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: for the follow.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: I thought, I thought he put it together because everybody,
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: he was like, everybody was predicting this, that, and the other,
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: but this, this stands alone as its own little week. Uh,
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: because I think as fans, we just look at the
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: whole season, but from a head coach standpoint, he was like, no,
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: it's got its own personality.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: It's its own struggles. It's on matchups. It's on, You know,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: he's on problems. You never get to relax. No. Unless,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: you know, you get a little cupcake in there somewhere.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: So, anyway, looking at it right now, of course, you know,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: we'll probably hear from Dickey today.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: Oh, well, you know, College Game Day has announced they'll
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: be in T-Town this weekend for Alabama hosting Georgia.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: That's a big one. We're going to see what they
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: got now. Both of them. I bet he's got a
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: little something for you today, Speedy. He probably does.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: He probably does. They rolled into Starkville and made us
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: like it.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: Hey, interesting stat that I saw. After 33 games, both
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: Saban and Kalen DeBoer have the same record. How about that?
• 23:39
  Speaker 12: Well.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Why didn't I say that again?
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: But every time somebody says that, I have to remind
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: everybody what Kalen DeBoer inherited from Saban.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: He's the next Saban.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: And what Saban inherited from whoever the coach was in Shula. Yeah,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: and turned it around and won the championship three years.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. A little different. Hey. Was it two or three?
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: He had them turned around in two, and they made
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: one in three. Yeah, the first year they didn't do
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: very good.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Then I think they turned it around, played for the
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: SEC championship, and they got beaten in the championship game,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: and then won the whole thing the next year.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Big difference.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: After 33 games at Alabama, Kalen DeBoer is 25-8, and
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: Nick Saban was also 25-8. Saban who is what I'm saying.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Well, I will say this. And again, to DeBoer. Saban
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: inherited a bad team.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know you can't compare errors because Saban
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: also didn't coach in college pro.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: He did late, but I mean, Kalen DeBoer is in a.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: World that is completely upside down.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: You know, I meant to write some of them down,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: but some of the stats that we come up with
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: to make, Certain wins, interesting. And, you know, this is
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: in the last 26 years, nobody's won by 14 in
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: this quarter.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: They come up with the– and they say them, and
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I'm like, eh. So? Right, yeah. They do it constantly.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Pay attention. I'm going to start writing them down. They'll
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: come up with a stat that you're going, well, who cares?
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Right now, it looks like they're going to get up
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: to the line. They're going to look at about third
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: and 14. Well, a little interesting fact I'd like to
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: tell you, Rick, is, you know, if you look at
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: third and 18s, you know, over the last decade, so-and-so
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: is the most successful third and 18 coach there's ever been.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: And there's a chance right now if they convert this,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: he'll be tied with it. You know, and I think
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I'm probably going to miss something that is interesting because
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: the minute they start, I just tune out. I go,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: here's some stupid stat. First of all, nobody can check it.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: You made that up.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaking of Saban.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: The six-part documentary called Saban comes out Thursday.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Can't wait. Cannot wait. Even though Adler's not impressed. I
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: can't wait. But I bet you're the one that knows
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: about Dick Adler. You're going to hear from him today.
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought I might get something from him, but
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: he's been quiet.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on with him. You know
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: the night check we wrote Todd Wheeling?
• 26:04
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: He probably ate so good in Starfleet. That's what I'm saying.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: He's just like, you know what? And if I'm predicting right,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: the Nadmeyers of the world, this is where they start
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: believing again. And they act like they didn't say things
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: they've already said.
• 26:14
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: A lot of that.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: A lot of stories we didn't get to, but those
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: are the biggies there. Yeah, we'll continue when we come back.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: It's the top of the hour.
• 26:25

• 26:58
  Speaker 1: of tickets every hour. So if you have not texted

  Speaker 1: the drawing today. But it ends today. No more giveaways
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: after today. We've got to get all those turned in.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: But there's still tickets available for Huntsville. up till showtime
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: or they sell out and you, and there's deals to
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: be had. You know, it's one of those things when you're,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: when you're one of these ticket people where you go,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I wait to this, I wait for the promotional tickets
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: to be put back in. I look for this. It's
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: almost like Huntsville and Birmingham are a tale of two
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: different worlds. Uh, waiting in Huntsville, even though, you know,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: the premium seats have been gone for a while and
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: there's still some good seats available, but you know, you're
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: really down to, okay, I have left what's available. But
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: you took a chance, and you can get the RBS 20.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: I think they may have some buy one, get ones left.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Check on all that. But if you waited on Birmingham,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: it's actually worked against you because Birmingham is so close
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: to selling out, the ticket prices have not moved. So
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: it's kind of a game you play on waiting until
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: the last minute. But sometimes you wait until the last
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: minute just because you didn't know whether you could– you
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: didn't think you could go, and now you can or–
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: or you did the wait and see, whatever the case is,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: we look forward to seeing all of you in Huntsville
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: this Friday night, Lord willing, and next Friday in Birmingham,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: and then.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Fellas, we'll wrap up the tour. Yeah. It's been a blast.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: It has. Just as we just wrapped up the cruise.
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: So college football, Speedy says he's waiting to hear if
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: we'll hear from Dickey today.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: It's almost like he's kind of approached this season with
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: a little caution. Yeah.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: He's mamma back. They looked great. They've looked good in
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the last few games. They're not starting slow anymore, which
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: is huge. So we'll see. They've moved up now to
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: number six.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: They're up one. Texas stays at number one without playing.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: They were idle, right? Yeah, I believe so. Yeah, Georgia
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: beats Vandy 38-14.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: They stay at two. Y'all mentioned Bama and Georgia, a
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: big matchup this week. Notre Dame's at three. They're 5-0,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: beat North Carolina 37-26. And then Miami beat Clemson really good, 41-13.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: They're at four.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: This was a big game over the weekend. Iowa and
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Ohio State.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: A lot of people thought that was going to be
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: a good one, but Ohio State handles Iowa 31-14.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: We told you about Alabama. Beat Mississippi State 56-23 in Starkville. Indiana. Indiana.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: beat Rutgers 47-15. They stay at seven. And by the way, Rick,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Hasno this coming weekend. Easy. And the NFL, I mean, the.
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: Fox version of game day, which is their big noon, whatever,
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: they're going to be at Nebraska for that game.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: And Nebraska is undefeated. I'm just saying you want them
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: to be good.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I do want them to be good. I love Nebraska.
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: I'm just saying you can only be what you are,
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: and that is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 0.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: You know what I think I might do just to
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: upset y'all?
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: What?
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Sure. No, that's World Series. No, listen.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go in here right now because it's
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: still here because I had to leave on the cruise,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: so I wasn't able to take it home. I have
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: the Nebraska Omaha World Series t-shirts. No, no, it's just
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: the World Series t-shirt.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: It's not Nebraska.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, buddy.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: But I'm going to wear it as a tribute to
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: the football team. Just upset y'all. You're just going to
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: keep doing it opposite. Okay.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: And if anybody didn't like it, they'd meet me at
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: the face. But anyway, so I'm glad to hear Nebraska's
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: doing well.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: That was just a side note. I love that. Who
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: did they beat?
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: Nebraska, they've played Ohio, Bowling Green, North Dakota, Michigan State.
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: and beat Maryland this past weekend. And they, along with
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: a number of others in the Big Ten, are all tied.
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: You have Indiana, Nebraska, UCLA, by the way, who nobody's
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: talking about. Minnesota, Ohio State, Wisconsin are all undefeated in
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: the Big Ten.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how about Minnesota beating... Michigan.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Just say P.J. Flex were going to notice the team. Oh,
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: I bet it was.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: He went great.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: He did. That time.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: No, he took a pop and then surfed like he
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: always does in the locker room with the players.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss is still at nine. They were idle, but
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: they stayed at nine. Yeah.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: LSU at 10, beat McNeese 63-14. And then you got
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: another undefeated, Texas Tech, which everybody seems to believe in.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: What do you think is going on– With Deion. They
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: waxed Colorado 29-7.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you the embarrassing one is when Colorado was
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: running their mouth about Northwestern's temporary stadium.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Of course, you see Northwestern's new stadium. Did I hear
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: this right?
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: It's the most expensive stadium in college football.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: It was almost a billion dollars.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: That I don't know. No, yeah, they unveiled it. Like
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: $ 800- and- something million. Wow. Renovation. And they finally got to play it.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: I can't even picture them doing it.
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: Yes, they unveiled it, and the unveiling was pretty neat.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: But what I saw go viral was the visiting team's
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: locker room. Because it looks like it is the most plain, dreary.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: And they set it up so that it's actually under
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: the student section. And the student section has this area
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: where it's standing room only.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: And then they have these backboards where the students are
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: actually allowed to and supposed to kick the backboard.
• 32:33
  Speaker 9: That's all you hear.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: So it makes tons of noise.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Nice. Who got into Northwest?
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: And they're below them. And so if you're in that
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: visiting locker room, it could be loud and odd.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: I love stuff like that.
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: It's smart of them to set it up that way.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Is it Iowa that has the visitors? It's hot pink
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: painted real just bright pink.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know. I don't know. I think so.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: That's funny.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Well, but talking about that, when Northwestern was in the
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: temporary stadium and Colorado.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Ran their mouth and then Northwestern hammered them, beat the
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: crap out of them. Made them like it. I mean,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: how embarrassing is that?
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: So anyway.
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: No, you're right, Speedy. It is $ 875 million.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: Here is the home locker room.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Look at the home locker room.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: You look like you're in a spaceship.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: And just plush. super nice yeah and then uh let
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: me show you the uh the visiting locker room by the.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Way i didn't know hospital i didn't know northwestern was
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: this into to football that's all by the way that
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: looks like what we had in high school yeah that
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: looks like our high school locker that's fantastic.
• 33:34
  Speaker 9: Before the upgrade absolutely.
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah i saw a video of them like coming out
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: and for the big debut and i was like wow.
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: What was it thunderstruck uh yeah was it okay yeah
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: yeah they went.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: I'm just surprised they would Did you know Northwestern cared
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: that much about college football?
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't think so. They're in a pro town
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: and all that.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Utah didn't play. Oregon didn't play. Missouri beats Florida 45-17.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Wow, when I saw that score, I didn't even think
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: it was the right score.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Tennessee beats Auburn 24-14. Then Florida got beat. Mississippi State
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: got beat. Oklahoma State is up one. And then it's USC, Iowa, UCLA, Houston,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Boise State, SMU, and Pittsburgh.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh, watch them. That's a good football team. That is
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: a good football team. Keep an eye on Pittsburgh.
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they beat Virginia Tech on the last second. That
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: was Virginia Tech's first loss. Yeah, and that was a
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: really good football game. But you mentioned UCLA. They're undefeated,
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: and they play at Oregon this weekend. But everybody's like,
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: you know, nobody's really talking about UCLA, so we'll see
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: what happens there.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: You know, UCLA, you see LA in modern days, one
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: of those kind of teams, if you start giving them attention.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: They'll choke.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: That's true. The best thing you can do is not
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: talk about it. They'll have that game where you're going, okay, well,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: they're not as good as we thought they were.
• 34:59
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: And, you know, for a while, North Carolina was playing
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: with Notre Dame in just that rain game, and then
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: Notre Dame kind of pulled away from them. But they
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: were giving them fits for a while.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: So there's kind of your college pro update. Then the
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: NFL pro, they played yesterday and will play tonight and
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: then play it on Thursday and all that.
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: And had a game in London yesterday as well.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: The Colts played. I bet they hated that airport. I
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: thought about Brody about that. Oh, did the Colts have
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: to play in London? They did play in London.
• 35:30
  Speaker 10: And?
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: Let me see here. I believe they won, but let
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: me make sure of that.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they did. They beat the Commanders 30-13. Yeah.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: More of the show coming up right after this.
• 35:46
  Speaker 9: This is the Rick Burgess Show.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Thanks for being with us today.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: We've been recapping college football, the pro level, over the weekend.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: And so NFL also over the weekend. We hit a
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: little bit of that. We can get into more of
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: that coming up.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: But one thing that happened also over the weekend that
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: we haven't talked about was the annual crap run. Beautiful Piedmont, Alabama.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Speedy and Greg helping the Nisha's Foundation. And also a
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: lot of you that signed up and came from all over.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Big crowd.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: If you follow Speedy on social media, funny updates from you, buddy.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: That was a lot of fun. It was. Great turnout.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: And didn't rain. We were worried about that earlier in
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: the week. Everything had a big crowd.
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: So, uh, Phineas's, uh, kids were Chelsea and, and Nathan and,
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: and they help, uh, Randa and Bobby, um, help run
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: the event and everything.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: And that, and.
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: It goes way beyond that because the amount of volunteers
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: is impressive.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: It's a big area. It is an undertaking. My goodness.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: They do it first class too. I was looking at
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: some of that. Good grief.
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: Chelsea's on the hot mic and she's always talking pre-race
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: and everything. And she announced there were 570 runners.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: And I don't know, I'm not in the running world,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: but that sounds like a lot. Yeah.
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: And, and it's always the streets in downtown Piedmont are
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: always just covered, man. It's just, Such a great night,
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: and we were blessed with beautiful weather. The rain held
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: off in that neck of the woods, so I know
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: a lot of places got wet, but not there. It
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: was just a great night. If you remember last year, Rick,
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: When Chelsea was announcing that we were there, she announced
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: it from the Greg Burgess show, and she didn't say Rick.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sure. She said this year that she was afraid
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: they were going to fire her. Yeah. We were like,
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: it's not a problem.
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: Well, this year, she said Greg Burgess and Speedy Burgess.
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: So now I'm a Burgess. I hope you all take
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: me in. I feel like I'm part of the family anyway.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we thought Dad treated you like a son, only
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: to find out he– Yeah, but well, well, maybe he
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: was special. You're one of us.
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: Um, but, uh, but Greg, uh, he was gracious enough
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: because we just started talking.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: I got caught up.
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: In it and, and he, he has a number and
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: was going to run. And I said, look, man, if you'll,
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: if you'll walk, run, I think I, my Achilles can
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: handle it.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: I'll go with you. Oh, and he was.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: And then we go, well, then we can also get
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: footage of the participants in the event that we normally can't.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. on the route, so I thought it was a
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: good idea. I bet you were easily talked into the plan.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Very easily.
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he played down and let me go with him.
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: But it was funny because so many people ran off
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: and left us, and we were walking, and then we
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: might go, okay, I.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Can run to a quarter of them. I can run
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: a distance and then walk or whatever because it got crowded.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is. It is.
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: But this is us about a mile and a half
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: in realizing that we're way behind Yeah, we.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Were getting passed by a lot. Oh, look at y'all. Yeah, yeah. Well, Greg,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: we're really getting after it, buddy. Have to get some water.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've walked a mile and a half.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: We're really out doing it ourselves here. Look. I don't
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: even have a number. Well, I have one, but it's
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: going to be so far when I get back.
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Look, here's the deal.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: We're old.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: We're gimped up a little bit.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: We got some injuries. We got, you know, I mean,
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: you know, kids are injured.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, we have the elderly. Okay, look, there's a
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: kid that's out running us.
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: So that's kind of where we were. And we make
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: the corner and all that.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: We get up. a little over two miles in. Listen,
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: they have people set up on the trail. There's bridges,
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: and they light them up, and they look awesome. And
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: they have people up there encouraging you. So as we
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: hit the bridge and they start encouraging you, I started high-stepping.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: I was scoring. We got to get to that. That
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: on me, by the way.
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: But this here, we were so far behind, we felt
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: the urge, should we run?
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: I know. And this is that. Look at that. Greg,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: should we run a little?
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you want to run a little?
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, we'll run a little bit. They had candles.
• 39:58
  Speaker 9: How cool is that?
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: So far, so good. Oh, my gosh.
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: So dark.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: And so now we realize... Greg, come on. Greg came
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: to the side. And now here's somebody pushing a carriage. Yeah, yeah,
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: it's ahead of us. This is kind of cool.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: How they have it.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: By the way, she picked up her speed. Oh, don't
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: you speed up on us. She's speeding up. Yeah, look
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: at her.
• 40:21
  Speaker 15: Oh, here comes a kid.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: All right. So we're that far back. We have a mother...
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Pushing her child. Yes.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: And she's ahead of us.
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: And shout out to the, sorry, my goodness, the Jack
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: State softball team. They were lining some of the trail
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: and others. And as we approached them, we were like,
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: should we act like we've got it together?
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Because we don't. Of course you should. Yeah, yeah. Greg,
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: are we really going to walk through all these cheers?
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: I guess we're going to... Let's act like we've done
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: something here. I don't know if we have anything to
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: cheer about. Right, right. But let's give them a laugh.
• 40:56
  Speaker 9: Getting after it.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Getting after it. We got a little high five. Now,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: we're getting close.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: We're about at the 2.7 miles.
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: And we hit another....
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: We hit another group of cheerleaders, and Greg gets to high-stepping.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Is this where y'all been running hard the whole time?
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of. Did y'all sprint in? No, that's next.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: But this is him high-stepping, showing out a little bit.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah!
• 41:29
  Speaker 10: Oh did he yeah yes he did uh i wasn't
• 41:41
  Speaker 10: very darn well.
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: So now we can see the lights again of downtown
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: piedmont which means we're getting close we're close to them
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: and the local cheerleaders and everybody they were there and
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: uh And I challenged Greg to dig going in.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, y'all going to dig? Yeah, yeah. You going to
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: do Achilles' dig? No, he backed off with him. Greg,
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: this is it, right?
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: This is it.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: This is the last turn. Last turn. Here's what I
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: want you to do.
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: I want you to run that corner.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: You're talking about digging? Yeah, right up here. And I
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: want you to be digging it. As fast as I can,
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: which is not fast.
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: Right, but like you're taking it so serious.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, you ready? So let's just go. Because right now
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: everybody thinks we'll be running.
• 42:17
  Speaker 11: Okay?
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: It's all about how you finish, guys. I'm going to
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: push this on you. I'm going to peel off and
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: just video it. So now we're running. I want to
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: see you get. We're running. We got this turn here.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: Got one turn to go. When we get to this turn. Greg,
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: when you go ready to turn, I want you going nuts.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: Here we go. Almost fall.
• 42:36
  Speaker 15: Yeah, well, because when you make that final turn, there's
• 42:47
  Speaker 15: a curve there.
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: If you don't watch out, you can tumble. Oh, of course, yeah.
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: Chandler texted me and thought you were going.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: To fall on that one. Also, last year, if you'll remember,
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: we had footage of me on the last stretch.
• 43:01
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: And this little girl passed me.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: I didn't send this to you. Let me send it.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Can we show pictures?
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: I asked her if we could.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, did you?
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: I said, can we show this? And the mother said yes.
• 43:11
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Is that okay?
• 43:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, I just didn't want, you know.
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: And now you got me spooked.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: But I did ask the lady. Did you?
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I did.
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: It looks like this kid's old.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: That's Larry. I mean, Jerry. That's Jerry from Piedmont.
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's Jerry.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: What's up, Jerry? What's up, Jerry?

• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah. So this is the picture.
• 43:33
  Speaker 6: You've got to go back a year, but I videoed
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: Greg coming around that last turn like we just showed you,
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: and a child passed him.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Do you all remember that? I felt bad. I wasn't
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: going to pass him.
• 43:43
  Speaker 8: Right, right.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm sticking to that.
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: Fast forward to this year, and the mom– Brought that
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: same child to Greg at the pavilion before the race started,
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: and they made a shirt.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: To show Greg, and she was dressed all up in it,
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: the cutest little thing ever. Look at that precious baby.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: If you zoom in.
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: On just the shirt there, it says, Hey, Greg, do
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: you want to race me?
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: That's fantastic. Custom shirt and everything. That's just so precious.

  Speaker 1: that Greg brought back, they're going, thank goodness the guy
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: didn't bring eggs. Yeah, out of Missouri. This I will
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: carry and transport, but I'm not getting eggs.
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't have to worry about it getting hot
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: in your car and all that.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know what? The egg people would walk up
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: to you right before you started running a 5K and
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: hand them to you. You know they would. Greg, the
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: egg people, you're really hard on the egg people.
• 47:12
  Speaker 14: They would.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: You'd be standing in line. They go, here, I brought
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: you some eggs. Well, am I going to run with them?
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you all? You don't want eggs.
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: We got it.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: We got it, Greg. No, the point is they don't
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: want them. Right. They have nowhere to put them. They
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: got too many chickens.
• 47:25
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Greg has talked about this so much, I think I
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: saw a chicken shooting a bird.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to tell you this. This egg thing
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: is out of hand.
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: There's two sayings. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: And don't bring Greg eggs. Those are the sayings everybody
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: knows now.
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: If I want eggs, I'll go to the store and
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: get them.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: Let's take that on for just a minute, though, because
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: when we had the garden, same problem.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What is it? Of course, Gary was involved with that. Hey,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: you know, last week I was on the show. I mean,
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't need to be there. I just do whatever.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, wherever I go, if you ask me, are
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: you going to be on the show while Rick's gone?
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: I heard he did a great job. We had to
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: wake him up a little bit. Yeah, he did. Early on.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: He struggles early. Yeah. Is that I could never get Gary,
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: and I guess this is just garden people. I was like, Gary,
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: we don't can. We're not trying to heal a nation.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: We're trying to have the amount of things grown that
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: would be good for a family and then whatever you want.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Not the county. Not the county.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. Why do we have all this corn?
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: So you give it away. Why do we have all this?
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: We don't need this much of it. I think just
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: the egg people are the same way. The chickens always
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: outperform what they really need. The point is, it would
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: be different if you had a group of people that say, hey,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: you got any extra eggs?
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: Let me have them. When you just walk up and, hey,
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: how you doing? I ain't seen you in a while. Yeah,
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: here's some eggs. Yeah. Why didn't I ask for eggs?
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: I know, Greg. You've made it crystal clear on that.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: There may be a day when I need them, but
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: right now I can buy my own eggs. It could change,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: and when it changes, y'all bring them on.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: Okay. By the way, Greg, you are clear on eggs.
• 49:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but we know where you stand on that.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: Adder, do you misunderstand him? Have you got it?
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: Hey, clear is eggs, mud.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: Just something. It's just the way we transport them and
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: where we give them. Going in a ball game.
• 49:20
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: Friday night. Here's some eggs on weigh-in. I can't keep
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: all these during the game. I know. You'd rather have peanuts.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: Start throwing them at people. Yeah, now you may do that.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Also, I made a daredevil move, and as of we're
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: sitting here now, I have survived it.
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: We will see.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: But have you ever like just seen something that is
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: just delicious and you like it so much that you're
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: willing to chance it? So keep in mind, I'm almost
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: to the end of this mighty journey.
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: You can see the finish line. To the other end
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: of the country and back over here again. And we're
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: in Miami. And Miami's got great food.
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: They do.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Okay. Great food. Cuban.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: And I was walking along and I was like, Rick,
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: just be done for the day.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, just be done for the day. Even though it
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: was dinnertime, we had eaten on the plane. Wasn't the best.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: Had really good food going out on the long flight.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Had really kind of bad food on the way in.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know why.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: The food, same airline, same everything. Sherry said that one
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: of the flight attendants told her we were on an
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: old plane on the way back.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: It was big and it was roomy.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: We're on the old plane. We're about to replace this one.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: And I will tell you something else. I don't like that.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: Please don't tell me that.
• 50:34
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: And how about this? I looked over.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, I'm in Miami, Cuban restaurants everywhere, in
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: the airport. I love a beef empanada.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: I love it. I love them. I didn't know that.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: I had no idea you were into empanadas.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: I love them, and the Cuban people, they are the best.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: They'll throw an empanada on you. And I saw it,
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: and I looked at Sherry.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: She goes, I don't know about that.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: I said, well, I mean, I know it's their airport,
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: but it's not some vendor.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a restaurant. It ain't like Quaker. I'd
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: like to have a beef empanada. I really would.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: And I went over and I got me one, and
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: it was as delicious as I had hoped. But was
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: that a little bit of a daredevil move right there
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: at the end?
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: It could have gone bad. It's going to be a
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: little spicy. It could have gone bad. Oh, Rick, you
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: rolling the dice. We call the gamble.
• 51:19
  Speaker 9: Snake eyes.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: I know, but it was really good.
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: Well, listen, I thought you were anti-green pea. Did it
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: have it or sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't?
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: It did not.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: Thank the Lord.
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: It's like a little hot pocket for people that don't
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: know what an empanada is.
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: Can't you get like apple empanadas?
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, that's right.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: Got fish and chips one day and they serve you
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: just a side of those old English peas.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: What?
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: They love them green peas in England. Do they really?
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: Heathrow wouldn't be mad about that. Yeah, so that was,
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: and they don't put salt on anything.
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: What?
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: Unsalted, blended green peas.
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: And they put like one cube of ice in your Coke.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: You can have green peas or you can have green
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: peas mashed like you would mashed potatoes.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: That's bad. They're really into that. I don't know why.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: We'll be back.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: More to cover on the program today. We'll look at menace.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: We may hear from Dickie Nadmeyer.
• 52:20
  Speaker 5: Greg would rather watch a dog eat its puppies than
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: eat that.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 52:24
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back. Stay close.
• 52:29
  Speaker 9: This is the Rick Burgess Show.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: One thing, you know, and we've talked about this a lot.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: When you're flying a lot, you get different pitches that
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: are thrown to you by various pilots. Now, I will
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: say when you're in that point where you're on, is
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: it Ita? ita we were on an italian uh airline
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: during one leg and when you become now the people
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: that they're not speaking your language yeah and then and
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: sometimes the people they pick to try to do the
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: english part not that great at it uh but but
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: thankfully we all kind of know the pre-boarding routine and
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: all that you can kind of keep up with it
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: but but we got to it was the it was
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: the longest leg home last night and this would have
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: been from um Rome, Roma to, um, to Miami, 10,
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: 10 plus hours. And, um, so the pilot comes on
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: and this was, you know, cause sometimes you get this, uh.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: From the cockpit. This is, uh, your pilot. We're going
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: to be good. We're going to be good.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: And you go, I got no idea what the guy said.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: And every now and then you'll get the guy that
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: I think kind of digs the mic. He kind of
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: wants to be on the mic.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: He's good at it. He's very well spoken. Mm-hmm.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: This is now, we got 10 plus hours on a really,
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: really big, big airplane.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: Okay. Ladies and gentlemen from the cockpit, this is pilot so-and-so, so-and-so.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: Good to have you aboard.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: I want you to know, you know, we're going to
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: be flying to Miami. Going to be a little over
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: 10 hours. And I hope we can get a good
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: little tailwind. I might be able to do a little
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: better than that.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: So we'll.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: It could be a little bumpy along parts of it
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: when we start getting into the United States. The South's
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: had a little bit of bumpy weather, but I'll do
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: the best I can with that, and I might have
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: that seatbelt light come back on for you. I want
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: to let you know that this kind of flight requires
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: quite a team here, and I've got a couple of
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: co-pilots here, and we're all very seasoned, and over 100 years'
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: worth of flight experience here in the cockpit, and I'm like,
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: this is a movie. They'll say these things, and then
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: it happened. I want to talk to you who really
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: will take us most of the way on the front end.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: I won't even be flying. It's my very, very qualified co-pilot.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: And he said it, and it was a woman.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. And then he goes, and then also taking
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: up another leg will be another one. And it was
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: another one. We had two women flying it. Well, you know,
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: in the plane, they were highly seasoned. Military, the whole thing.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: Highly seasoned.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: Well, Sherry says in an airplane, because airplanes are kind
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: of noisy, especially when– and she says.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: You're loud. When you say things, everybody hears you. Because
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to tell her, and I said, yeah, if
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: they can back the thing out of here without hitting something.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, like, everybody– I started getting
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: all these horrible– she goes, everybody hears you.
• 55:34
  Speaker 14: Oh, boy.
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: I said, they can't hear me. She goes, they hear you.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: Look at their faces.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: But I admit, first of all, bragged on the team–
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that's supposed to be reassuring, but you know
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: how we are. My thought was if we were in
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: a movie, this is what the God be saying.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: Hey, you're in great. And we were, the flight was fine.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: We made good time. We never had an issue. You approved.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: But that first part, I was kind of like, oh,
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: two chicks.
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: I picture Greg being there. How can we be on time?
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: I thought he says we're going to make good time.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know about that.
• 56:05
  Speaker 6: We've all done that, too, where you think you're whispering,
• 56:08
  Speaker 6: and I don't know if it's because we can't hear anymore,
• 56:10
  Speaker 6: that we're just louder than we normally are.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Sherry says, everybody hears you. And I'm like, no, no.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you act like you can't hear me. She goes, no,
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: trust me. You see that woman's face over there. You
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: think she didn't hear you? Yeah, because it was, look,
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: it was great, and Sherry said that she would like
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: for me to work on one thing too. She said,
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: let me tell you one thing that doesn't need to
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: be efficient.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: Memories.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: You're even trying to make memories efficient. Like when we
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: would see something breathtaking, she would be like, you were
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: trying to somehow us take in this breathtaking moment. And
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: then you want us to get to the next thing
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: because we're still making good time. She goes, memories don't
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: have to be efficient.
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: They have no time. There's no need for a memory.
• 56:48
  Speaker 5: Kind of wrecks the memory.
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: We got 10 minutes on this memory. Okay. Let's get
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: a picture. This is what I did. This is what
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: it got her.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: Hey, that, no, that is a beautiful waterfall, but there's
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: one right over here that I think we're supposed to
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: see and it's about to get crowded. So get a
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: picture and let's get over to this next. Let's get
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: these two in before the crowd. She goes, memories don't
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: have to be efficient. I'll talk about that a little
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: bit in a minute. By the way, speaking of Huntsville,
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: where we'll be this Friday night, President Trump announced.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: He is moving the U.S.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: Command headquarters from Colorado to Sweet Home Alabama.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: Here he is talking about it.
• 57:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and this is, you've got, here, I'll show you
• 57:28
  Speaker 5: all the front line here. We got a bunch of
• 57:30
  Speaker 5: power players here, and you might recognize some of the faces.
• 57:33
  Speaker 5: You got Tuberville, Hegseth, Katie Britt.
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: Coach. Hey, it's old Gary. What's up, Gary? Hey, Gary Palmer.
• 57:40
  Speaker 5: We got the J.D.
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: Vance.
• 57:41
  Speaker 5: We got the whole crew here.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: Trump is going to say a few words about the group,
• 57:45
  Speaker 5: of course. He's going to get a little sidetracked.
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 57:48
  Speaker 5: A little sidetracked, but then he'll get into the big announcement.
• 57:51
  Speaker 7: It's a very important day and an important announcement with
• 57:55
  Speaker 7: great friends of mine. I think I can say this
• 57:58
  Speaker 7: group is every one of them I rate a 10.
• 58:02
  Speaker 7: I can't always say that, even if they're Republicans. And
• 58:04
  Speaker 7: these are Republicans, great Republicans. I want to thank you
• 58:07
  Speaker 7: all for being here for this important announcement. Seven years
• 58:11
  Speaker 7: in the making. As you know, this has been going
• 58:13
  Speaker 7: on for a long period of time. And I am
• 58:16
  Speaker 7: thrilled to report that the U.S. Space Command headquarters will
• 58:21
  Speaker 7: move to the beautiful locale of a place called Huntsville, Alabama.
• 58:29
  Speaker 7: forever to be known from this point forward as Rocket City. Okay,
• 58:34
  Speaker 7: so Huntsville, Alabama. I only won it by about 47 points.
• 58:41
  Speaker 7: I don't think that influenced my decision, though, right?
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: That didn't, right?
• 58:46
  Speaker 7: We had a lot of competition for this, and Alabama
• 58:49
  Speaker 7: is getting it, Huntsville in particular. So congratulations, everybody.
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: Katie, congratulations.
• 58:55
  Speaker 7: This will result in more than 30,000 Alabama jobs, and
• 58:59
  Speaker 7: probably much more than that, and hundreds of millions of
• 59:01
  Speaker 7: dollars of investment. And that's billions, because it can't be millions.
• 59:05
  Speaker 7: It's billions and billions of dollars. Most importantly, this decision
• 59:08
  Speaker 7: will help America defend and dominate the high frontier, as
• 59:12
  Speaker 7: they call it. I want to thank Secretary Pete Hegseth.
• 59:16
  Speaker 5: He's doing a fantastic job.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: By the way, he thinks now that he nicknamed it
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: the Rocket City. From this point forward. It's been called
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: that a long time.
• 59:25
  Speaker 5: I've been alive.
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: I'm 60.
• 59:26
  Speaker 5: Yes. There's a radio station called the rocket.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, there is. I, uh, didn't, am I wrong? Now
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: this is space force. It's you. Okay. And we were
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: here originally. Then, then somebody during the Biden administration, move
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: it somewhere else. It was going to, yeah. And then
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: they canceled that.
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: And they did, they said, no, they were not moving.
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: So now he's like, no. So the next, um, The
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: group that comes in will turn around and reverse all that,
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: move it again.
• 59:54
  Speaker 5: Well, the Biden move, it was worse by every metric.
• 59:57
  Speaker 5: We went over the numbers.
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course.
• 59:58
  Speaker 5: It was just all politics.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: Well, Trump wanted you to know that even though Alabama
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: went all in for him, this had nothing to do
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: with his decision.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: He even laughed at that. Yeah, he laughed at that.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: But anyway, so that's something Friday night as we bring
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: the tour to Huntsville. We now have something else to celebrate.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: So it's Rocket City now?
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 5: From this point forward.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: How would he say it, Speedy? This point forward. It's
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: going to be called Space Force. The Rocket City. Rocket City.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: So congratulations, Huntsville. And looking forward to hanging out with

  Speaker 2: Human beings. You remember the old story where I whisper
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: something to Speedy's ear? Yeah, by the time he gets
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: all that telephone or whatever it was. I think so.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: You kind of pass it along. It took me the
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: entire trip to get the man's real age, okay? Oh,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: he's lying about it.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: Well, 94, for some reason, wasn't enough. People kept embellishing
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: his age. So 94 wouldn't do it. No, the last
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: time I heard his age, woman, she comes up, not
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: in our group, she goes, did you see that one
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: man that's on this?
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: He's not. And I'm like, I don't think he's 98.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: He's 94. 94 is a big number. That's different. Then
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: I have one in between. That man over there, 96.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: And I was like, I think he's 94. And then
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: the story's better if he's 98. Yeah, but 94. 94
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: is still good. Anything in the 90s is good. I'll
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: say anything in the 80s is good. I will too.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: So he's hiking. Yeah, he's hiking a mountain. So he's
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: the standard.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: I think he was highly decorated guy. A hard-nosed guy.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: Reminded me of our dad a lot.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: Okay. But he was still very, he was feeble. Hey, 98,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: coordinate one, man.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: So he's anywhere from 94 to 98. We know he's
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: somewhere in there. He has. He's 110.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: Have you seen now that some of the people have
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: gotten away from the cane and the walker and they
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: do what I call the snow skates?
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of hikers use them. If I'm a
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: serious showing-off hiker.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: So he's got those, but then Sherry makes a point,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: look at his feet. I look down, he's got a
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: pair of loafers on.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: What?
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, uh, climbing boots. You're not moving.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: Okay. And we've got a long way to go. And,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: and Hey, this is, so I'm like, well, I guess
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: everybody knows what they're doing, you know? So somebody checked
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: his blood pressure. So, so I, so we have a guide. Okay.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: With us.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: And she's supposed to guide us. We ain't never been
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: to Croatia. I never been to the Kirka, whatever national park.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know anything about this now. It's a pretty
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: well-defined trail. I got that.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: But we've never been here, okay? What kind of wildlife
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: they got at that place?
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 5: A lot of waterfalls I'm seeing. I'm showing your pictures
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 5: right now.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 6: Incredible waterfalls, by the way. You know what comes with waterfalls?
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, like height. Think about it. I'm in the
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: mountains if I see waterfalls.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 5: There's a song about chasing waterfalls.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: Don't do it.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: Don't do it.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: By the way, they told us that Croatia's most poisonous
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: snake Whatever that is.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: But they said they don't think it's not. I'm like, well, that's.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: Don't just bring that up. Are there a lot of them?
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: Don't follow it. But I don't think.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure. Everybody got next to me because they
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: knew that they really didn't have anything beyond the wolf.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: So anyway. So off we go. But they got some
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: weird bears. Hey, hey, hey. Let me tell you. Look,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: let me just say this to everybody. Okay. I love America.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go around being a jerk about
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: our excellence and our being superior. I'm not that kind
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: of tourist. I'm not that kind of tourist. And there's
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of things, you know, we're not, we, we,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: we do things now that, you know, I don't think
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: have helped us stay great, but let me tell you
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: what I can say.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: With zero reservation, zero. We absolutely lead the world in toilets, right? Oh, yeah.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: We lead the world not just in toilets, public toilets.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: The access to public toilets. Let me tell you, the
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: rest of the world.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: If you ever have to go, there may be nothing.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: And then when you find something, you got to have money.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: You got to pay. You got to pay. You got
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: to have some euros. To go to the bathroom? You
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: got to have euros to take a leak.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: What?
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: So you're constantly trying to look. And look, Sherry and I,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: we're not young anymore. We'll have to go, okay?
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm at that age now where I don't.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: If I pass a toilet, I go, okay? Because you're
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: trying to stay hydrated.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. Sherry nearly was dehydrated because she was
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: afraid of having to go to the bathroom because there's
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: very few of them.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: And then you have to pay to use almost all
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: of them. Oh, come on.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: Buzz, you got.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 5: All these waterfalls. The sound of a waterfall is going
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 5: to get you. My goodness, it's like you're at Niagara.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: And Sherry, I said, I know you're in a bind.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: I said, but if you don't think I'll take a
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: leak in the Kirka National Forest, you're wrong.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, I was about to say, I'd be behind a
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: tree in a second. And then she said, please don't.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: I'm looking over here for wildlife. I'll be right back. Yeah,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: let me see. All right, so when we come back.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: They say there are poisonous snakes out here.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: When we come back, we're all trying to find toilets.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: Everybody's asking for change because we don't know how long
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: we're going to have to go with no access to
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: a toilet. And we got the 94, 98 year old. And,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, right out of the gate, the first thing
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: we encounter, I'm looking at Sherry.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: She's looking at me. People in our group are talking.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: I'm like, there's no way he can do this. He's
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: impressive for his age. But not going to happen. He's
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: playing in a division. And when I tell you the
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: things he was going to have to maneuver, he's 98, Rick.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: It just wasn't going to be possible.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: I thought he was 102.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 7: 104.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: He's 99 years old.

• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: So back to Croatia. We're in the Krka National Park. Waterfalls,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: the beauty, breathtaking. But we're hiking, okay?
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: We're not riding in a train. We're not on a bus.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, we bus to the park, but now we're hiking.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: So as soon as we, and Speedy, I know what
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: you're thinking. I'm going to go ahead and just own it.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: I'm going to own it. Go for it.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not proud of it, but I'm going
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: to own it.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: Okay. I pick up pretty quick. This guy's not going
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: to make it. He looks. I mean, right out of
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: the gate.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: He's an inspiration that he's doing any of this at
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: his age.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: He's 97.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: And 94.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know why everybody wanted to make him 98
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: and 96. 94 is a lot. Let's just settle 95.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Meet in the middle. So he's impressive. Okay. He's impressive.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: He really is. The fact that he's done any of this,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: he's impressive. Well, we get to that first thing and guys,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: it's straight up. I mean, you're going straight up. They've
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: got some wooden, you know, rock type steps. Now, first
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: of all, he can't stand up without these hiking sticks.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: Okay. Well, he's also, his feet drag a little bit.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: God love him.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: Well, a lot of this stuff is wood where there's
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: gaps in the wood. The wood's uneven. His stick is
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: going to go off in some of these drop-offs. Oh, yeah. And, Speedy,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: Hey, man, I know that I've been shown a lot
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: of grace by God, and I try to be.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: I've been changed into a whole different person.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: And there's some things I just still got to work on.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: I told Sherry, I said, we got to distance ourselves here.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: Distance?
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: You saw it coming.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: I said, he's going to end up needing help, and
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: we're going to be— And they're going to look to me,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: and we won't be able to finish the night.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: Why didn't you give him piggyback rides? We're not going
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: to be able to finish the night.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: Because of me, there's me and one guy named John.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: We were by far the biggest people there. And, you know,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: because there's not a lot of big people in this
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: part of the world. And no, no, that guy's got
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: it together compared to him.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. That guy appreciates that. Never had a chance.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: I said he has zero chance. Guys, there is just
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: no chance. I don't know what they were thinking. I
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: really don't. Yeah, don't you have to meet certain? Yeah.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: And so anyway, so. Wait a minute. So you decided
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: distance versus help. Well, as Sherry said, I was trying
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: to be efficient with memories. And so you're telling me
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: he had those sticks, which people do use to do
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: a lot of hiking, but he probably really had a
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: walker and just put those sticks so they'd let him go.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 8: Correct.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: Correct. And now the sticks are going to drop off
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: in these. There's too many little crevices and stuff. Yeah,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: like a lot of it's bridges, you know, with gaps
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: in the wood, and the wood's uneven over time. Oh, yeah. Okay,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: you got to buy even old foot ankle. I had
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: to watch what I was doing. It's like wearing high
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: heels on a deck. Right. Exactly right. You ever done that?
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 6: No, but I've seen ladies get their heels stuck in there.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: I know exactly what you mean. I know what you mean.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: Back in the 80s. So I say, and then all
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: of a sudden. Hey, ladies. You know, then there's that
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: instinct with me.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: Now, I've already asked to hold the flag of our
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: group once already because I don't think our guide's tall enough.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think everybody can see it. She said, you
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: don't have to carry the flag. Okay. And I was like,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: you want me to hold that?
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 9: I got the flag, guys.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: Guys, I'm right here. Follow me. So let me tell
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: you what I thought, too.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: Hey, second thing, I thought, let's don't get stuck here
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: because this is going to be, this is going to be,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: there'll be a rescue operation here.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: And we can't be part of it.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: If we want to finish. Wasn't that sweet? Let's move on.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: Everybody want to help? I'll take the flag. I'll now
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: take over the tour. Okay? Who put you in charge? Well,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: we're about to lose our guide. Our guide's got problems. Okay?
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: I'm just telling you. We're about to be on this
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: journey alone. And I'm happy to lead.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: I was born to lead. I'll go.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: And so I move up ahead of it.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: And I said, hey, guys. And I look. Our guide
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: has to drift back.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: Now, of course, I know nobody's surprised with this. I
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: wasn't paying attention. Of course, Sherry, every single tour we're
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: supposed to bring out of our room these earbuds because
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: the guide, they now are being sharp. You have these
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: little packs on with earbuds, and the guide talks in
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: a headset so you can hear everything they're saying without
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: them trying to be loud.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: I never remembered my earbuds any day. You never used them.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: Never had them. Not once.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: Couldn't hear what anybody was saying. So now we're sticking
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: close to the guide because we're trying to hear. Well,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: the guide peeled off, and I said, guys, we'll never
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: see her again. She's peeling back to the impressive 95-year-old.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: How far into this trip did he go down?
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 3: Early.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, he never even showed signs of being able
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: to do it. Greg, the first thing to get onto
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: the trail is an uphill climb. And he didn't make it.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: Finally, then there becomes this part where we're all just
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: wondering the trail. And there's people who don't know.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: This one right here. And I said, guys, just follow me.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: I think I know where we're going. I've never been here.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: You think you know where we're going. At one point,
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: I'm now leading the tour. Did you get the flag?
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: Because we've lost. I didn't have the flag. I wanted
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: it really bad. So I just kept hollering out, group five.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, everybody's just taking their little earbuds out.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because he's loud enough.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: And then I started acting like I knew things. Now,
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: this fall over here.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: This is where the Croatians.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: Have been here a long time.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: This is where Anne Frank was. And Sherry said, that's Amsterdam.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: That's not Croatia.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 3: So anyway.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: What if you look back and the guy had an
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: old pal on his shoulders? Let me tell you, I
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: thanked him for his service, and I moved on. You didn't. Well,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: you weren't qualified. Well, he wasn't in trouble when I left.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: Who drug him out of there?
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: Some of our listeners had to stay behind. Their whole
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: hike was him. And then the tour guide had to
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: go behind. He had to be rescued by rangers.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: What? He had to be rescued by rangers. At one point,
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: we've lost.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: A man and his wife. We have other listeners that
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: now have to stay and help.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: Not you, though. Well, Greg, I had to lead. What
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: made you?
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: I had to get out ahead so I could go
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: help others. Basically, he saw what was going to happen
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: and took off running.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he did. I looked at Sherry. I said, we
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: better get some distance. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: Who thinks like that? Well, efficient people.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll give you that.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you, the people who stayed in help,
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: they were heroes for being helpful, but they missed a
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: lot of the tour.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 10: Sure.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: They didn't see the waterfalls I did.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 5: When are you going to be in the Kirka National
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 5: Park again?
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: Right. I'm sorry. I mean, they saw how hard this was,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: and they decided to go.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 6: Are you serious about rangers having to come help?
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 5: 100%.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: That's not an exaggeration at all. You're talking about the
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: Croatian rangers?
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: The tour guide had to bring the rangers in, and
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: I had to lead the rest of the tour. A
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: lot of people thought.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 5: I did a pretty good job. You saved the day, really.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to say that. You're just now
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: joining us. We've updated a lot. You can go back
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: and catch all that from the weekend. So this is
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: the only thing from the cruise that we didn't get
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: a chance to talk to you about. You heard most
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: of that when.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: Sherry and I were on together and when I was
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: on by myself with the guys from the ship. But
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: you didn't hear about Croatia and you didn't hear about Venice,
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: which I'll get to that. But finishing Croatia, let me
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: say this. Speedy, I don't think you understand what I'm saying.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: I can't do physical... You know, reenactments as well as you.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: But just picture you've got two sticks. You can't really
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: lift your feet up really good. You're a little bit
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: bent over.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 5: They're called trekking poles.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: Trekking poles.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 5: I need us to use that. We're going to keep talking.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, trekking poles.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: And you're trying to go picture the steps up, which
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: was a nice incline to even get on the trail.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: Okay. That's the entrance to the trail. I mean, you're
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: on the trail five minutes.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: Challenge right out of the gate.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: And then you've got to climb up to now a
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: ridge so you can wind and see those waterfalls.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 6: Why didn't the guide stop this before it ever happened?
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I think. Why didn't they go, hey, sir, hey,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: could you come over here?
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 6: He's like, hey, it's unbelievable you're even here.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 6: But what we're about to endure, the physical strain it's
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 6: going to have, I don't know if it's best for
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 6: you to do that.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: Because you had to buy these things, right? They're selling
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: a product. They were like, I know he's borderline.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: And I think also, I think she was like, you know,
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: you have to be careful of this. What if he
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: is physically capable and he gets offended that you don't
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: think he is? Because they are the ones who decided
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: to come with all the information.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: So you think, well, he must be okay with it.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: So we've lost the guide. Rangers are coming to rescue.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: A couple out of our group is now physically helping
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: him up these steps. Because. Bless their heart.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: Speedy, picture him like trying to take these trackers and
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: go up every single step.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: Now, I want to say something. Straight up. Straight up. Like, no,
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: not like, hey, straight up, man, but like straight up vertically.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: Like a substantial incline. Like a ladder. Like a step ladder.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 3: Yes, but.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: Like that high. Picture them using the landscape of the
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: hills and there's steps built into it and they put
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: a framing of wood around it and it's the dirt
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: and the rock on the top and you come up
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: on top of it, push up even, even the rest
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: of us, it was like, it's a pretty good step
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: for you to get the next step and push yourself up.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: So he asked me, but I want to say this
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: about him. I want to say this about him. He
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: was incredible. I mean, what did you know that with help,
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: with help, he made it all the way up to
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: the top of those steps.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: That one did it.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: And then had to be rescued. He then admitted when
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: he got to the top, I cannot continue. I'm just
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: getting started, and I've realized. It took so much out
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: of him. So I want you all to tell you
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: all about a wonderful moment with him, okay?
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, here he goes. Because, you know, I had to
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: get ahead to take care of the rest of the group,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: which was my service to it. You had to get
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: up and leave.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: No, I had to sit there and drink an espresso
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: and wait for the guy to get back to us,
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: but So you.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: Could enjoy yourself knowing somebody needed help? Well, I knew
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: he was taken care of. While looking at a waterfall.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: By the way, if the quarterback comes out of a game,
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: is the backup supposed to go stand over there by him?
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: Or does he go into the game? Okay, you put
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: the clipboard down. So you're the backup guy? Yes, I
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: was the backup. Of course I was. I don't want
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: anybody to make a fuss about it. Which is what
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: it is. But let me tell you what happened when
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: we ate after it was all over. Okay, because they
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 2: take us somewhere to eat after the hike's over. After.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 3: After.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: And we're all back on the bus, okay, going to
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: eat somewhere on the way out, which was really high
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: up on one of the mountains, which was cool. Even
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: though Sherry, I told her not to look outside as
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: that bus was right on the edge of switchbacks.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, right on the edge. Those bus drivers are incredible,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: by the way.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: So anyway, so he comes to the bus to get on,
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: and we get out there, and we give him a
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: round of applause.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: We make a fuss over it. I said, we're all like,
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: let me tell you something, sir. You didn't allow that?
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: You didn't make the hike? He made up one flight
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: of stairs. But Greg, you don't know what he made
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: it up at his age. You really don't.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: He was an inspiration to be out there on his age.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: Or you could have pointed instead of tried to tell you.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: Or you could look at the fact. Now you messed
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: us all up.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: You can't look at the fact that you took our
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: guide away and cost one couple the entire hike.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: You ran the hike impossibly the whole day. Did you
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: clap too? I did. I chose to tell. I encouraged him.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: I said, sir, you're an inspiration.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 6: Now, I wasn't going to help you, but you're an inspiration.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: You're such an inspiration. I immediately cleared myself from you
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: when I saw you.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: Because I was inspired that you were going to fall.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: I said, I delegated one of our group to help you,
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: and there's no need to say thank you. And I said,
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: and I led the tour so you could get the
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: help you needed. I mean, that's just how I saw it.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: How long did it take them to recover and you
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: saw him and he's walking around normal? Long time.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: He had to hydrate all night. How about getting down
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: the stairs? I would say hours. That's what he said.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: They had to call the Rangers to get him down.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. I imagine that was tedious. Okay,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: let's put one foot. Okay, now let's wait. Somebody says
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: it's espresso, not expresso. Not where I'm from, buddy. Espresso. Espresso.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 3: Espresso.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: Rick, I've been in a brew bar before. It is espresso.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, I mean, pardon me for being from Cowan
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: County and heterosexual.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: But anyway, so. What a combo. One thing, so that
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: was kind of Croatia. Croatia. Boy, what a struggle. It
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: sounded like a workout. It sounded like a really good trip.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: I'd get back on with dead legs.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: Guys, the number of people who were like, does anybody
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: know where we're supposed to be going? Everybody just follow me.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: I think it's straight out.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 6: You got them on some trail they're not supposed to
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 6: be on.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: I had to make a decision at a fork because
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: they told us it was straight out.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: We hit a fork and they said, Burge, Burge, what
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: about the fork? I said, I feel like we need
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: to go right. Of course, it was correct. Who authorized
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: that you continue on without the guide? Officially or unofficially? Officially. Nobody.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking. You act like that you
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: were given the job. Don't you know the guide turned
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: around and went, where did everybody go?
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 6: And everybody within Arizona going, the guides tell us to
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 6: wait on her.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: Come on, follow me. This was my favorite.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: Because remember, there's people mixed in with us that aren't
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: part of our group. Don't picture it's just our cruise people.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: And that's how you work. That's where we ended up
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: with Garak. But anyway, so picture this. You can hear
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: this back there. There was no need for the earbuds.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: He's plenty loud. Yeah, you don't need them. He's echoing
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: down to the waterfall.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: These Raycons are awesome. I'm not sure this guy's facts
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: about Croatia.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: They don't seem to like what I keep Googling.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: Sounds a lot like America. Because y'all know that here
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: the people are called Croatians.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's right.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: But anyway, so Venice. Venice on my birthday. Adler, you
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: have been there before. You know what I appreciate? Because
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: I was trying. I wanted more from you. I'm grateful
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: that you just kind of said, just experience it. Because
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: I don't think you could have ever prepared me for it.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: A lot of you have been there. I know I'm
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: late to the Venice game for a lot of you
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: who travel a lot. Had never been there. I will
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: tell you, there's a picture, Adler, right there.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: Hold that.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: Just look at Sherry's face, and that tells you everything
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: you need to know. That is sheer joy. When we–
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: What's that face you're making?
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I wish you were saying go faster.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: The thing I'm saying is all I can think about is,
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: now how do you get to the hotel from here?
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: But anyway, so– but look at her face because I'm
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: going to just for a straight-up moment on a little
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: bit of serious. Venice, to see it, it's like one
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: of the things you've read about when you were a kid. Yeah,
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: in my mind I'm trying to wrap around. You've seen
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: pictures of the gondolas and all this stuff. And then
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden you look and you're like, So
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: I'm here because those of you that know this, pardon me,
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: I'm new to this. So we get a ride from
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: where we got off the cruise to Venice, and then
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: he puts us out, and then the Oceania people, which
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: were on top of it, they take us over, and
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: you step into these wonderful wooden water taxis, and they
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: have a space where you can stand up in the
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: back and put your arms on top of the roof.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: And Sherry and I, in the taxi by ourselves, are
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: now being driven into the city of Venice.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: On the water. And we just couldn't believe it. I mean,
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: it is a marvel. I mean, it's a marvel.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, now they're saying that the population of people
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: living there is actually going down. And talking to some
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: of the people there, they said the reason why that is,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: is it is a wonderful place to be a tourist.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: A wonderful place to come and enjoy life.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: But it is an.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: Impossible place to live. And so people are just like,
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: you can't really live here. It's just, there's so many, because,
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can go out. I mean, guys, picture this.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: When I was taken to my hotel, and I don't
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: know if I put a picture of this or not,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: where you got into a restaurant. That's what I was
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: talking about, about the roast beef. But when you go
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: to your hotel, if you're staying in the city, you
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: pull up to a pier. I mean, I step out
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: of a boat into the lobby of the hotel. You
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: step out of the boat into the restaurant. So you
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: can go only so far walking, and then you've got
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: to get in the water. So imagine that, by the way,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: is the San Marco Bridge.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: San Marcos Bridge there, if I'm remembering that right. And
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: we're actually in a gondola. We did that right out
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: of the gate.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: No gondola guys can sing. How about their funny guys?
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: Did you see the one I sent the guy singing?
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 5: Oh!
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: But let me tell you.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 6: That would be an opening act, you said.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: When you're in the gondolas, they're like their own little gang.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: So they're in Italian, hollering at each other back and forth,
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: and they're all laughing and they're talking.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: Making fun of you. Like, I got a bearded wonder
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: over here. He thinks he's in charge.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: He thinks he's the American gondola guy.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: But I will just say I was blown away. To
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: spend my birthday in Venice was such a gift. I
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: could not believe the beauty and just how relaxing it
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: was to be sitting there at a restaurant right on
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: the water eating delicious food. pasta that was made that day.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: And talking to those there about, you know, I was,
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: if I'm somewhere I'm like, you know, as long as
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: you don't give me something weird, what would you eat?
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: What should I eat?
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: Don't let me, don't let me be some tourist and
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: order something. And they would, they were bringing stuff and
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: just to, you know, any place that pasta is not
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: the meal, it's appetizer.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: It's the warmup. You know, they want you to have,
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: you know, they'll just, you've seen Jon Panette do a
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: bit about that. I think, I'm not sure.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: I've seen other comedians talk about when you get with
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: the Italians, they're fine with you sitting there and just
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: eating for hours. I mean, they just keep bringing you food.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: And it was, I will say it was an incredible
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: birthday gift. And being there with Sherry and seeing Venice
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: was just, it was incredible. And at the night, the
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: hotel we were in, they told you to go up
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: to the roof and And we, we saw it at
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: night at sunset. It's just, it really is something you
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: need to get on your bucket list. Um, and really
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: you can do it in a day or two. Uh,
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: and then you're probably kind of, okay, that's about it
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: because it is complicated. Nothing's real simple because you got
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: to keep maneuvering those canals and all that.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: But, um, the sheer beauty of it was, um, was,
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: was cool. It really was.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 7: So.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: That was a nice gift and loved every minute of it.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: Did you sing with the gondola? I did.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 5: I was singing.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: That's good. Rick and I were joking. We were running
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: the crap run in Piedmont, Alabama. I was like, so
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: Rick's in Venice.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 3: Right, right.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: We're on the LaDaga Trail.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back. We'll take your phone calls next.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 9: This is the Rick Burgess Show.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: Uh it has been a while uh i think we
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: heard from dickie what pre-season uh maybe maybe one more
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: time after that But we haven't heard from him in
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: a while, but I had a feeling we're going to
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: hear from him today.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 13: Yep.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: I had a feeling this was going to happen. Yep. Oh, boy. Dickie,

  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 3: Are the little cowbells awful silent today?
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: They came out of the game ring.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 15: They did.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: They did.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 6: They came out.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 2: Of course, they gave up two quick ones. That hurt. Boy, yeah.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: Two turnovers turned into 14 points fast. Yeah, right on
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: the gate.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: Well, your little quarterback, old Mario.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 2: What's his name?
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 3: Camario.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: Camario. Okay.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 3: Like the video game.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, right. Him and Luigi.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 3: Camaro?
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: Super Camario. Yeah.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 3: Camaro Taylor had a little trouble, didn't he?
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: Camario.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 3: I look pretty good against other defenses, but not too
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 3: good against the athletic defense of Bama. Roll Tide.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Bama? They were ready. They were ready. They were ready.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 3: Well, you guys remember when we got to DeBoer, I
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 3: knew it was a good idea.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, you did? Hang on.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 6: Is that what you said?
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: This year, you didn't even think it was a good idea.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 3: Well, our administration makes good choices. What you can do
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 3: after Saban, what you go after someone, it's a proven winner.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, but I thought— So we said all that before. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: Let's talk after this week if they don't stand up.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: And I think Alabama's going to beat them, actually. But
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: he'll change his mind.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 3: Well, I heard Bama Mark. Bama Mark's already called and
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 3: said what I said. Saturday night's going to be the
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 3: night the lights go out in Georgia.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 2: So you're seconding Bama Mark. I don't know if that's
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: ever referenced, Bama Mark.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. Well, we're going to go over there
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 3: with Kirby. He's going to be all. He's not going
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 3: to look real smart, come Saturday.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: Is Kirby not so smart? Yeah.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're going to come down to Tuscaloosa and beat
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: this team? I don't think so. You know, we're picking
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 3: at the right time.
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, such a big deal. The president's coming. What
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: do you think of that?
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I know.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, Roe Trump, Roe Tech.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a party. Two of your favorite
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 2: things right there in one place.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 3: How do you like our little quarterback, O'Keele?
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: He ain't bad. He's looking good. He's actually really good.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you one thing. I'll tell you one key line.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 3: He's a little better than Camaro.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 6: It's Keyline and Camaro.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 2: It's Camara and Keyline. Yes.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 3: How about this? How's your little Mississippi State coach, old Levy?
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 6: It's Jeff Levy.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. I drove my Chevy to the Levy, and
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 3: the Levy would drive. Right, right.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, buddy. Good night alive. Oh, boy. Well, he's on.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think we're number one in the country.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 3: I'll just say that straight up. And, of course, I
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 3: believe in this team from the beginning. Oh, yeah.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: From the beginning? From the very beginning.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 3: Well, you just had to give it more time.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, well.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 3: Rotate.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 2: Rotate. It's like he just. He just acts like he
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: never said anything.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 12: I know.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 2: I don't get it. Yeah, he's been behind him the
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: whole time.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 2: I thought it was a great hire. Right. Greg?
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I smelled something over in Tennessee over the weekend.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 3: It smelled like pumpkins. Those Cinderella stories kind of hit
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 3: a halt, hadn't it? Rotate.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: Well, got a little work to do. Got a little
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: work to do. Hanging in there.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 3: You hired a Russian, thought he could turn it around.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 2: He couldn't. It ain't going to be all right.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 3: And your quarterback's overrated. I'm going to tell you right now,
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 3: he looks good in a uniform. Oh, look at our quarterback. Look,
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 3: he's got his pants up there above his knees. He's
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 3: got big old muscular legs. But next thing I look,
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 3: he turned it over. He'll hold it. Real tight.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: He'll stand there in the pocket. He's hoping somebody gets
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: over it.
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, boy.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: Nobody's getting over it. He just can't release the ball.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: We need some separation here. Somebody get over it. Somebody
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: get over it.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, Camario.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: Camario.
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 3: And then you look at whatever the name is that
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 3: quarterback y'all got at Auburn. You look at them compared
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 3: to Little Keelan. It looks a little different, don't it?
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: Well, at this point, you are correct. I'll give you that.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 3: That's the difference. That's the difference in the tide. That's
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 3: the difference in the tide. Everybody goes to the tide.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 3: The tide rises. You run off down there to Auburn.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 3: You run off down there to Starville. Well, I'm a homeboy.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 3: I'm going to stay in. Hey, I bleed maroon and brights.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 3: That crimson came in there, and you know what he
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 3: started thinking? I should have gone to Batmobile.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: No, he didn't.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 3: I stayed here in Starville.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: Well, the good thing is there's always next year. You know,
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: you can go wherever you want to go.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 3: It's hard for that cowbell to ring when it's stuck
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 3: up your booty.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, it got a muffle. Good gracious.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 3: It's got a muffle.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: It's kind of muffled up a little. It's a muffled ring.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to ring it. I'm shaking my booty to
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 3: ring it because.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: It's in my eye.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 3: Roll Tide.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: Shake him hips.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 3: Did you see them little fans sleeping up in the stands?
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 3: Bama's coming here. We're on a party.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they did have sad looks. I'll give you that.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: Holding their cowbell.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you know, Saturday they whooped you. That's right.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: Bama's really good.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 6: And we can't talk about the fact that, you know,
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 6: Fluff was hurt and so was.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, here we go.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 6: Bama still would have won, but it probably wouldn't have
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 6: been as bad.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 3: Well, we're making excuses now for our little start before
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 3: we vote, aren't we?
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: I did that. If they've been full speed.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 13: That's what a lot of people are saying.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: If they've just been full speed, Dickie.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 6: And they both had the flu, too.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, now the whole team's got the flu. Now the
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 3: whole team's got the flu. Our quarterback's in a boot,
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 3: and our Fluff, or Duff, or whatever the running back's
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 3: name is, I tell you what he was, all Fluff.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: Isn't that wild?
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 6: He was second in the SEC prior to Saturday.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 3: I'd limp off to the sideline, too, if I had
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 3: to face a bad defense. You know what?
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: That ain't a bad idea.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 6: See you all next week, Coach.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: I'm limping over here.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 6: How about Keelan was like 73% completion rate.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 3: Well, that's the board's coaching.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 2: I tell you what else he can do is pull
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: it down and take off. He'll hurt your feelings.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 3: He's shifty. Greg, what do you think about our defense?
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 3: I thought we backed the kind of defenses that Saban had.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 2: I have to agree. They're flying to the ball.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 6: Now, are you going to be in Tuscaloosa for game
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 6: day Saturday?
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'll be there. You look for my sign.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: Secret Service is going to have to hold him back
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: when the president comes by.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you about what we're planning for Saturday.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 3: It's going to be October. Georgia's coming to Tuscaloosa. I'll
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 3: be standing there in front of the Saban statue, you know,
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 3: doing our thing before we start. And all of a sudden,
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 3: I'll be thinking– Trump, Saban, this team all on the
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 3: same campus. Right there. They don't get no better. It's
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 3: heaven on Tuscaloosa.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 2: That's right. You can't be in no better spot than that.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 13: I know.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: You'll be just giddy.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 6: So I don't know if you're going to be able
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 6: to watch it Thursday, but you know, Saban, the six-part documentary.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, you think he ain't Saban? up for that?
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, I've already got the ice chest down there by
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 3: my chair.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: He's going to be already there.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: He's ready.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 3: Got my little split stool set up, just me and Saban. Yeah.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: I hope you don't get teary-eyed being all nostalgic and all. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 3: You know, it's so good to be a Tide fan,
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 3: real Tide.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I bet you it is. I mean, it's just
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: something to expect, isn't it, buddy?
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 3: It really is. If I had to pull for two teams,
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 3: y'all pull four. I mean, that's just, yes, I'm going
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 3: to suck y'all being punished.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: It seems that way at times.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 6: Well, Dickie, you think we could talk to you Monday
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 6: after this weekend or something?
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'd depend. I want to tell the Dawg fans,
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 3: we're going to beat one Bulldog, and we're about to
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 3: spank another one. It's going to be ugly, ugger, road-tied.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 9: This is the Rick Burgess Show.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: So, Dickie Nadmeyer has called in. He's something, isn't he?
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 2: Heard that. He's fired up. He is gloating.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 3: He didn't.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 2: How about he just basically says it's heaven on earth
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: coming up this weekend. Brian Denny and the president. Oh,
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: my goodness. Yeah, man.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 6: I saw College Game Day was at Iowa as they
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 6: hosted Ohio State. Ohio State won, but they had the
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 6: million-dollar kick.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 2: Did y'all see that?
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 3: The girl?
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: Somebody said I saw it. With Uggs on or something? Yes.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 6: And they had one of the former Iowa players, one
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 6: of the tight ends that was there.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: And a million was going to go to the children's
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 2: hospital there, too. I mean, so it was the two million.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: That's a pretty good story when it shows the kids
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 2: can see in the stadium.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, unbelievable story.
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 2: Who are you? What did you– No, it is. When
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: they turn away, everybody– Oh, so I'm not supposed to
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 2: think that that's a good thing? You just don't think
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 2: too many things are– Is it between the first and
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 2: second quarter?
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 3: I believe it is.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: The stands, you can see the Children's Hospital above the stadium.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: The kids get in the window.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's awesome.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: The waves they do, it's great. It's awesome.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 6: And so you had a million going to that, a
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 6: million going for her, and she's out there with overalls
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 6: on and shoes with no heel.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 2: Did she have Uggs on?
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 6: She had Uggs on and she goes to kick it
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 6: and barely she almost missed.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 13: The whole thing oh Speedy I'm sorry buddy this is
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 13: not good and then they lose later in the day
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 13: who would have thought she wouldn't have got it and
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 13: so Kirk Herbstreet even felt sorry for her because she
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 13: goes and watch this she goes and.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: She misses it.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 6: So Kirk Herbstreit says, okay, we got to do this again.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 2: A little better this time. Is it? Is she barefooted now?
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 5: This is the same kid.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 6: Oh, it's the same one. I only have the one.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: The other one, I mean, was way short, but at
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: least it did take off.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 6: No, Reese was coming through when she kicked the second one,
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 6: and it was dead straight, just like you're saying, like
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 6: 15 yards short.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 2: And we both even went, what? But, yeah, it was sad.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 2: It was pretty sad.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 6: But then I think the former player got to throw
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 6: one through the uprights.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 2: He did. And she got 150.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 5: Well, it spun like a touchdown. Like you spin it
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 5: on the ground.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: What does the next station do? Try to go to
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: Croatia and get on the hike?
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on. When she walked out there, we
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: were like, she has no chance.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 5: People were saying this was mean of the game day
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 5: crew to select them. It's actually done.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 2: Through a lottery. It's totally random.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 6: Like we do on Tex Nation.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 2: We just scramble a pick.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: How about the fact that McAfee gave that $ 150, 000 and
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: said just because I think she showed a lot of
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: courage to even try it.
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: His reasoning was.
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 6: Just like, yeah, just because everybody kind of went, oh, okay.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: But 150? That's a long way. That's a long way.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't know Pat McAfee was a Democrat.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: Also, speaking of that, transitioning to a little bit of
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: politics today.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: Theo Vaughn. Look, Theo Vaughn. What has Theo done now? Well,
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: the fact that, like, really... really big-time newsmakers are going
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: on his podcast. Oh, yes. And he's clearly not cut
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: out for any of this. I mean, this is pretty funny.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 1: Which makes it great. That's why I think it's great.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: I think it's like us. I mean, it really is
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: very similar.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 2: But, I mean, some of the questions.
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 6: This is precious, though, because it's almost like explain socialism
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 6: to me.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie was on there. Okay.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 6: And he said, what is socialism?
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: What is it?
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: And the answer is I appreciate him just saying it.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: And the fact that some.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 2: Of you want this, I don't understand it. I really don't.
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: So here is Theo Vaughn, the political commentator.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: Uh, with a mullet.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: With a mullet talking to the mayor of New York city, mom, Donnie, uh,
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: profess socialist slash communist.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: And here we go.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 8: I want to talk a little bit about socialism, right?
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 8: Cause it's, it's a buzzword, right? Cause socialism, will you
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 8: define socialism for us? Because people say it a lot
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 8: and don't know what it is. And sometimes those people
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 8: are me.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 12: I'm so happy to be with those people right now. Um,
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 12: Socialism to me, it means that you will have whatever
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 12: you need to live a dignified life and that it
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 12: is the government's job to deliver on that.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: And why hasn't it worked before?
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 2: Well, Greg, you know why. Yeah, but that's my point.
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: That all sounds great. Like we said a million times,
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: if you don't know any better.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 5: Ask the Cubans how it worked out.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as they're sitting in the dark. Or the Russians.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 5: Or the Venezuelans.
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 5: Or the Chinese. Or the North Koreans.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: Or really right now, some places at one time, there
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: was law and order and some freedom to maximize your
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: God-given potential in places in Europe where they're adopting it
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: left and right.
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 6: Socialist-run cities like New York, like Portland.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Chicago.
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: The list just goes on and on. So he told
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: you what the definition was. He said, to me, which, no,
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: that is the definition. But what it's like, socialism, there's
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: never been any, never has there been any ideology that
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: is based on the way children, when we're all little
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: innocent children, we see the world. I told y'all before,
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: I'll say it again. I wish I knew who to
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: credit this with, that said they used the pony analogy.
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: So people who love socialism are like little children who just, they,
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: They think they need a pony, and they want a pony.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: And if you start trying to talk to them about
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: how much it costs to feed a pony, you got
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: to build a stable for the pony, you got to
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: build a fence for the pony, you got to get
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: a saddle, you got to get a bridle. Doctoring, all
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: that comes with it. And they don't want to hear
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: any of that. They just want a pony. Yeah, I
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: don't want to deal with all that. It sure is
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: fun to ride a pony. Well, it goes back to
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: they want free medical care, but they have no idea
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: what it costs to build an MRI, what it costs
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: to buy one.
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 8: No, no.
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 2: They don't know any of that.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: And so what they're saying is, and I want you
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: to look at the state of every government when it
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: comes to the budget, spending, inflation, debt. So this is
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: one of those things where he says, think in your mind,
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: anything the government runs right now, you think they do
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: a great job at it. At one time, I would
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: say the military... But then when you look at some
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: of the problems that the military has, the VA, hospitals
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: and all that.
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 2: The government really doesn't even do that well. It's the
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: private sector that does the best job of getting us
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 2: ready for war.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 5: Point to me one thing that the government does well.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't think of anything.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 5: And when they do try to do it well, like
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 5: with Trump taking our drug dealers and knocking out the
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 5: drug boats, they freak out and say, that was just
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 5: a fisherman with five motors on the back of his
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 5: boat speeding across the ocean. Somebody in the text thread
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 5: said that finish the clip because Theo Vaughn immediately responded,
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 5: that sounds like communism. Well, I'm looking for that and
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 5: I haven't found it. And frankly, I'm a little afraid
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 5: to listen to this because Theo Vaughn is leaning that
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 5: way in a lot of his complaints in society. What
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 5: I did find is him complaining about our current system.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 5: It feels like we're in a privatized communism right now.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 5: So Theo Vaughn, all of his complaints about communism Life
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 5: right now seem to be complaining about how things are
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 5: right now. He says, we're in a privatized communism. The 1%
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 5: own everything. They've just monopolized everything.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 2: Well, guess what?
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 5: You have 1% of business owners and entrepreneurs running things, sure,
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 5: but they're employing people. When you hand that all over
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 5: to the government, what are you going to do? We
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 5: are the players on the field. The government should be
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 5: the refs. they call it blow whistles make it fair
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 5: but we're all on a field to play and whoever's
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 5: the best players wins the game otherwise you got the
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 5: refs playing the game there is no game it all
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 5: crumbles you can't do it folks.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: And they elevate themselves into a place of power they
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: never live like everybody else i don't know why everybody
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: why do we keep having to say that and and
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: and look frankly theo vaughn has done quite well under
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 1: our system yeah and um And he's not going to
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: like it real much when all of a sudden socialism says,
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: should people be making Theo Vaughn money for just sitting
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: around talking on a podcast?
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 2: That's not fair. We need to take Theo's money. We
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 2: need to spread it out.
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: We're going to decide what the podcaster can make, and
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: we're going to put a ceiling on it. And in
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: socialism and communism, that's all a podcaster can make.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 2: They may decide a podcaster really is not a job.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 5: You've got a former drug addict, Redneck, who I love
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 5: and think is hilarious, making millions of dollars for making
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 5: people laugh and talking on a podcast, and then you've
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 5: got a foreign-born communist as the mayor of New York City.
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 5: There's an example. You can rise to the top if
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 5: you work hard, or if you scam people like Mondami. Anyways,
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 5: I'm going to calm down.
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 2: No, you're right.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 5: I'm from the government. I'm here to help. Used to
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 5: be the scariest words ever. Mondami took it even farther.
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 2: Yep, he did.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 13: Rick.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 9: Burgess show.
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: Uh, so get the volume turned down or the TV muted, uh,
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 1: have a good signal, uh, have your thoughts together and
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: try to be appropriate. Uh, and remember that, uh, we
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: are a family show with a little bit of edge,
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: but there is still a line there and barriers are
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: a blessing. Uh, also those you keep texting. Did I
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: get back with a Larry's patches and challenge coins?
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 2: Uh, but, but they're still in the luggage. So I'll
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 2: hand those over and we'll ship them over to Larry.
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 2: I'll bring them into work tomorrow. Y'all remind me of that.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 2: Rick Burgess Show, unscreened phone calls. Go ahead.
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 3: Good morning, guys.
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: How y'all doing? Fantastic.
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 11: I was thinking while Adler was talking about the whole
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 11: socialism thing, you know, Adler looks a lot like a socialist,
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 11: but somehow he's not.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he does look like one. Don't judge a book
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 2: by its cover.
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I look like a lot of things that I'm not, frankly.
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 2: Well, he's learned like a lot of us.
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 1: It's fun to be a liberal or a little to
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 1: the left when you don't have to pay a mortgage
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: and raise children and have a wife. Once those responsibilities
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: hit you, you start kind of wanting– A small government
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: and you want to have maximum liberty and as much
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: of the money that you've earned as you possibly can.
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 5: And also, if you go back to the Bill Clinton
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 5: era of Democrats.
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, different, much different.
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 5: They are saying a lot of the things that are
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 5: being said right now. That shows you how much the
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 5: Democrats have lost it. And this is not a workers' uprising, okay?
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 5: This is Democrats with college degrees mad that they have
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 5: this huge amount of debt that they can't get rid
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 5: of and they don't have a job that will pay
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 5: for it. And that's why you're seeing a lot of
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 5: Democrats lean into this whole socialism-communism thing. And I'm afraid
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 5: Theo Vaughn is also leaning into it as well. I
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 5: looked and found the rest of the clip. Mom Dommy
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 5: goes on for... three four more minutes and I just
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 5: listen to in the break and he never says wait
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 5: a second that sounds like communism Theo Vaughn is tracking
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 5: right along with Mamdami I again I'm gonna say I
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 5: love Theo Vaughn but he is way off base here
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 5: just don't don't believe me don't believe Republicans just look
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 5: at world history look at the deaths and the famine
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 5: and the desolation of countries that have occurred that have
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 5: leaned on the government to do what the private sector
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 5: should be doing Mondami went on to talk about how
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 5: the government, when it comes to dignity, the government should
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 5: be taking care of child care.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 2: I'll agree.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 5: Early child care before kindergarten is incredibly hard to deal
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 5: with and very expensive in the United States right now.
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 5: But he also says housing also. The government shouldn't be
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 5: housing everybody. And when he talks about dignity, he's like,
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 5: people need to have a dignified life. Then why are
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 5: you letting people live on the streets and squalor and
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 5: overdosing from drugs? Theo, this is a topic very near
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 5: and dear to your heart. Look at the overdose deaths
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 5: during Biden's term because he left the border wide open.
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 5: It's a huge spike. This is Trump won. This is
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 5: Biden's era. It's a huge, huge spike. Trump gets in
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 5: office and it's plummeting. Theo, you should be looking at
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 5: that and thinking about that, my friend.
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 2: All right. No, you're right.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: And look what's happening when you start doing the handouts
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 1: that you can't support, by the way.
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 2: That just means higher taxes for everybody. Look at France
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: They're burning the cities down because they're being told what
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: it costs to go to college. And nobody's giving them
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 1: free college. And they're burning the places down.
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 2: So it never.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 2: It's never enough.
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 1: And the government cannot provide everything a person needs.
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 2: And it cannot. And what that means is everybody's going
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 2: to pay higher taxes. Everybody, not just the rich.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 1: Never believe that because we've said a thousand times, 1%
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: of something, even if you took 100% of it, you
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: cannot support a government that big. Everybody's taxes are going
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 1: to go up. Rick Burgess show on screen phone calls.

• 1:52:46
  Speaker 4: of the truck on a delivery, but what do y'all
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 4: think about the Kentucky boys going down there to South Carolina,
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 4: being the underdogs, winning and dropping out of the top 25?
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: I thought that was strange, too. We didn't mention that
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: part of the story, but we did mention that victory.
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: I thought that was odd, too. I don't know why
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: they would drop out. I know they were way behind
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: early in the game, but they came back.
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 2: They did. Rick Burgess showing screen phone calls.

  Speaker 3: Uh-oh.
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 11: Me and my wife, he took us out on the
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 11: lake and was showing us around, and I swear my
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 11: wife could not do nothing without him saying, hey, lady, no, lady.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 2: No, lady. Hey, lady. No, lady. By the way, the
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 2: AI picture of Sherry's boat on Lake Guntersville called the

• 1:53:40
  Speaker 11: Hey there, guys. That caller that said Adler looks like
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 11: a socialist, he's always come across to me looking like
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 11: a member of the Bigfoot research team.
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 2: Well, that's true. I could see that. That is true.
• 1:53:53

• 1:53:57

  Speaker 11: School. All right. Go ahead.
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 4: Greg, if I go to a high school football game there, Greg,
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 4: can I look up in the sky and see Uranus?
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 2: That's funny. That's funny. Rick Burgess show, unscreened phone calls.

• 1:58:42
  Speaker 5: The truck is back.
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 2: It is back.
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 5: I actually went to the warehouse this weekend. to get
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 5: my snare drum.
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 5: And so thank you, P360 Michael Howard, for helping me
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 5: get in.
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 2: Awesome.
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 5: I took Ezra. I was leaving a birthday party. Wow,
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 5: so many birthday parties.
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 2: Sure. Two this weekend.
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 6: At least you went, though. Some people just don't go,
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 6: and they don't tell anybody.
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 2: Right. They ghost you. Yeah, I hate that.
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 5: I crawled through tunnels yesterday for like two hours.
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh.
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 5: My whole body hurts so much.
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. I've been there. Didn't you say you had
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 2: one that was in trampoline places, too?
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a trampoline place.
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 10: Wow.
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 5: I still have a lump on my right leg from
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 5: the last one I went to. You'd think I'd learn.
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 2: How much is the insurance on these trampoline places? They
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 2: hurt people all the time.
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 5: That waiver is rock solid, though. I'll tell you that.
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 2: It must be.
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 5: But Ruby, some days she's six, but some days she's
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 5: a 16-year-old.
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 5: Just done with me. And so on days that she's like,
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 5: come follow me through the tunnels, Daddy. I'm like, let's go.
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 5: Let's go, because tomorrow you might hate me.
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 5: Ezra, I took Ezra to a sand place. You go
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 5: and dig in sand and there's like construction stuff for kids.
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 5: Everybody loves sand, yeah. The amount of sand I had
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 5: to get out of that kid's scalp was horrendous.
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 2: It's like going to the beach, but worse. So much sand.
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 5: We get to the car actually after the party and
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 5: he looks at me and he looks like the dog
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 5: from The Little Rascal that had the patch around his
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 5: eye with sand. I was like, oh my goodness, buddy.
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 5: So I had to take a bottle of water in
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 5: the parking lot. I'm like, buddy, if you rub your eye,
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 5: it's over.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 2: It's over. It's going to really be meltdown.
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 5: So after I soaked him with the water bottle, he
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 5: was real happy about that. We stopped by the warehouse
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 5: and I did see the truck. So the truck is back.
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 5: By the way, real dark in there on the weekends
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 5: when nobody's around. And the door shut and all our
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 5: daylight disappeared. And so I'm just standing in a pitch
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 5: black warehouse with Ezra. Well, it hadn't kicked on yet.
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 5: So I pull out my cell phone. I'm like, it's fine, buddy.
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 5: I wasn't scared. But then it kicked on.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 2: Don't be scared, son.
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 5: I was looking around for a switch, but you're right.
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 5: The motion thing kicked right on. He goes, and then
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 5: he saw the forklift. And he was like, this is
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 5: the coolest warehouse I've ever seen. I was like, buddy,
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 5: you've never seen a warehouse before, but sure. But yeah,
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 5: the truck is back.
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 6: How quick did he want to jump on that?
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 5: He stood on it. I should have let him sit
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 5: on it.
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 2: You're right. He stood on the floor. What would it hurt? Nothing.
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 5: You're right.
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 2: How about this? What else do you have to look
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 2: forward to next time? was this your plan all along
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 2: for getting your snare drum back? Was it you would
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 2: go by the warehouse and get it?
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 5: Actually, I left it at the last gig. And I've
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 5: got my cymbals, and I'm about to set up to
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 5: practice here. And then I'm looking around. I'm like, wait
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 5: a second.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 2: You didn't remember?
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 5: And so I forgot that. Because the snare is an
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 5: extra little thing. I'm bringing my own snare to the gig.
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 2: And I just left it.
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 5: I left it at the last gig.
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 3: You know why?
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 1: Because you were going to try to get home by midnight,
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 1: and you rode out of Starkville. You know, trying to
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 1: be the I'm going to go home and wake up
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 1: my home guy.
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 2: So you rushed.
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 5: Which I did, and I rushed. So I appreciate them
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 5: handling that for me. That's pretty important.
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 6: You talk about sand in the hair. You know, when J.C.
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 6: was young, he had the nickname Sandman. Keith Marks, shout
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 6: out to him. He's one of the coaches. He nicknamed
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 6: him that because we were on one of these placations
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 6: where down at PC or wherever where we were playing
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 6: in the World Series.
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, sure.
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 6: You try to have vacation between it, too.
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 3: Never works.
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 6: And we gave all the boys instructions, which was probably
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 6: stupid of us. Hey, see, I'll stay out of the
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 6: sand right now. We're about to be called, and we're
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 6: going to go sit down and eat.
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 2: And they're like, okay, okay, we'll do that.
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 6: And then all of a sudden our names are called,
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 6: and JC shows up with his buddies. And we asked him, hey,
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 6: did y'all get in the sand?
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 2: He said, no, sir.
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 6: And when he shook his head, no, sand came all
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 6: out of his hair. And he had sand just all
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 6: in his hair, in his scalp, everything. And I want
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 6: to say for a week, even though he took showers
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 6: and walked, it still would come sprinkling out.
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 2: Of his hair. Somebody filled his head up and put
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 2: it on his head.
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 1: Well, we were laughing talking about the unbeatable sand. We
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 1: are on the cruise in our room. Sherry's got the suitcases,
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 1: and we're getting ready to pack up to go home.
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 1: We look in these suitcases, which went to the Bahamas
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 1: back in August with the family, still had sand in it.
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 2: Sherry goes, you're not going to believe that. This suitcase
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 2: has sand in it.
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 3: See?
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 2: You can't get rid of it. Sand from the Bahamas?
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 2: So we're dumping the sand out of it, you know.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 9: Well, easy.
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 2: Well, you won't put your clothes in the sand.
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 6: I was given a task Friday, Rick, while you were. uh,
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 6: cruising it and guys, I left and Terry sent me
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 6: a text and said, Hey, river needs to be fitted
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 6: for a tux.
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 2: What was that about? Okay.
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 6: My daughter-in-law, Mabry's sister, Ava Clary has a wedding and,
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 6: and they're going to have him being, be the ring
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 6: bearer or whatever.
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 2: He looks sharp.
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 6: And so I tell him, because what five-year-old wants to
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 6: go to be fitted?
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 3: That'd be none.
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 2: That'd be zero.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 6: So I get home, and Terry's like, hey, I got
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 6: to go into the office and do some more.
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 2: I said, I got him. I got him.
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 6: So we go, and he's like, Pops, do we really
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 6: have to do this? And I said, look, I just
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 6: want to tell you. I was just so transparent with him.
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 6: I put it in park, and I said, hey, look,
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 6: I leaned in the back seat. I just want you
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 6: to know I don't want to be here either. This
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 6: is not something I want to do.
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 2: None of us want to do this. We could be
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 2: doing so many different things. None of us want to
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 2: do this.
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 6: I don't want to do this. However, it has to
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 6: be done.
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 6: So we're a team. I'm going to help you get
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 6: it done if you'll help me. And just hold your
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 6: arms up and stand there. And we just got to
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 6: try stuff on, you know? So we go in there.
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 2: He goes, okay.
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 6: We go through the process, and he was a rock star.
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 6: He was so good. And I sent pictures to the family,
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 6: and Tyler said, all right, he's either mad or he's
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 6: real serious. I said, well, I had him so fired
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 6: up and being serious that he was serious. His fierce
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 6: face was like, let's go, Pops.
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 2: Let's get this done. He looked like he was about
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 2: to host something.
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 5: Look how sharp he looks, though.
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 6: And so we go through, and this is us coming out.
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 6: And they couldn't believe how fast we got– I set
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 6: him up on that little counter. I said, you stand there.
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 6: You start taking your clothes off.
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 2: I'm putting them on.
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 6: He's like, okay, here we go. But they did a
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 6: good job fitting him. So that's not him sad. That's
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 6: his serious face.
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, he looks sharp. He said, look at me, Pops.
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 2: You know, like he was ready. He's fired up. He's
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 2: like Bond. You need to have a Tuck zombie standing
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 2: beside him. Yeah, yeah. But that was quite the task.
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 6: We were in and out of there in 15 minutes.
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 2: What's fun about that? It wasn't fun for me, and
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 2: I'm grown. That's true. You know, I know it's not fun.
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 6: For you, bud, but we got to get it done.
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 2: Any five-year-old ever ask for a Tuck's fitting for Christmas? Never, never, never. Rick,
• 2:05:23
