Speaker 1: and watching all of you coming in on the text

Speaker 1: fire you up about ready? Huh huh, Heyler, Buddy, Okay
Speaker 1: and there Buddy, he's nodding Henybuddy, fish dead. He's got this.
Speaker 1: He had that look on like Chen may be dead.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: I was going like, yeah, okay, so's dead.
Speaker 2: You wish was dead because you're sick.
Speaker 1: And we got a lot to unpact today. Boy, got
Speaker 1: a lot to impact. Uh So in the in the
Speaker 1: political world, we know that from our home state of Alabama,
Speaker 1: that it's official now that Tuberville and is not going
Speaker 1: to run for Senate again. He's gonna he's gonna run
Speaker 1: for governor. Correct, So that's official. That's done. So how
Speaker 1: do you feel about Tubraville as a senator. You don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about that much. Longer. Some of you
Speaker 1: thought he fought a good fight, some of you not
Speaker 1: so much. Whatever the case may be, that's over, yep,
Speaker 1: and he will then we'll decide are the people of
Speaker 1: Alabama will decide which were four of those, whether he's
Speaker 1: a good choice for governor, and we'll go from there.
Speaker 1: But now that means that Senate seat is about to
Speaker 1: open up. That's right, and we have the word it's
Speaker 1: already out. But Jared Hudson, who's been on the program
Speaker 1: before with Covenant Rescue, former Navy seal, is going to
Speaker 1: drop by today and throw his hat in the ring. Yes,
Speaker 1: so Hudson for Alabama dot Com. So we'll we'll talk
Speaker 1: to him today and we'll see where he is. And
Speaker 1: you know, he and I had a private conversation about it,
Speaker 1: which I guess we can talk about now. And I
Speaker 1: heard how he and his wife were working through it,
Speaker 1: praying about it, and so we'll talk to him about
Speaker 1: that coming up a little bit later on. So that
Speaker 1: that's there other things going on, of course in that world.
Speaker 1: We'll update you on kind of where the big beautiful
Speaker 1: Bill is. That's an interesting to b BB. That was
Speaker 1: interesting I thought yesterday if you missed it. We had
Speaker 1: Scott jennings On from CNN. We talked about that with
Speaker 1: him a little bit too, and I thought he shed
Speaker 1: some really good logical light on that. Between the disagreements
Speaker 1: on the right of exactly how the Big Beautiful Bill
Speaker 1: should go, including Elon Musk and the President, I thought
Speaker 1: he I thought, he said, hey, they just need to
Speaker 1: sit down, and he needs to listen to Elon. Elon
Speaker 1: needs to listen to him. They don't need to get
Speaker 1: into some kind of, you know, riff over this. I heard,
Speaker 1: it's too important that they continue to work together.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: I heard Trump's response, I don't know if you did
Speaker 3: a day or so ago, and I thought it was
Speaker 3: it was surprising, to be honest with you, because he said, no,
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 1: I understand.
Speaker 3: He said, there's things in the bill I don't like,
Speaker 3: he said, but we have to compromise.
Speaker 1: He there's things in.
Speaker 3: The bill I really really like that are beautiful. That's
Speaker 3: why it's called the Big Beautiful Bill, right, saying it
Speaker 3: like but he goes, no, I get it, he said,
Speaker 3: and I feel like we can compromise, get some things
Speaker 3: in there, and and maybe even do some amendments to it.
Speaker 1: Or whatever.
Speaker 3: But he his response wasn't you know, because normally it's
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go after somebody that's criticized, and that's what
Speaker 3: I was afraid was to have. But it didn't seem
Speaker 3: like that. And then with it in e line put
Speaker 3: out on X that is his he's stepping down from
Speaker 3: doze and it was his scheduled uh, stepping down or
Speaker 3: something like that. So but the media is trying to
Speaker 3: play it out like they're in a fight. So that's
Speaker 3: why he's stepping down. According to Elon in the post,
Speaker 3: we can read it. I will have it later, so
Speaker 3: it'll be interesting to say it.
Speaker 1: I'll play Yeah, So we won't do a lot of that.
Speaker 1: Like I say that, one of the commitments we made
Speaker 1: in starting this this new endeavor is, you know, we
Speaker 1: felt like that there was a toward the end of
Speaker 1: the Rick and Bubbo years, we were getting a little
Speaker 1: almost like you know, seventy five percent political, you know,
Speaker 1: twenty five percent lifestyle and funny. And of course now
Speaker 1: we want to flip that and be seventy five eighty
Speaker 1: five percent lifestyle, funny, you know, twenty five to you know,
Speaker 1: twenty percent update you on what's going on in the world,
Speaker 1: So we will drop that in. But that that wet
Speaker 1: bogged down there today, but we'll we'll definitely give you.
Speaker 3: The update I did I did hear that and because yeah,
Speaker 3: and I heard him chuckle after he said it.
Speaker 1: He could be big or it could be beautiful. But it
Speaker 1: can't be both. No, it can't. You know, when you
Speaker 1: when you're talking about government, we none of us like
Speaker 1: the word big. I don't like big government now, uh,
Speaker 1: and I agree with Elon Musk on that. So so
Speaker 1: we'll update you on that going forward. Also, if you
Speaker 1: missed the Scott Jennings interview yesterday the beautiful thing about
Speaker 1: speaking of beautiful uh technology today, you can go back
Speaker 1: and grab that in the archives. Adler got that done
Speaker 1: for you. Does that every day. You'll catch that on
Speaker 1: the podcast channel or our YouTube channel, whichever you prefer
Speaker 1: if you missed it or just want to see it again. Uh.
Speaker 1: Also uh uh you know what we talked about gutter
Speaker 1: gate over at at our house. You had some folks
Speaker 1: lined up never never call. Yeah. Well it goes back
Speaker 1: to this again, and I hope some of you understand this,
Speaker 1: and we talked about this, you know, back in the
Speaker 1: three decades of Rick and Bubb. But we don't really honestly,
Speaker 1: because I know a lot a lot of it is
Speaker 1: not overly entertaining unless there's something you know, any of
Speaker 1: us into rest is entertaining. But I want you to
Speaker 1: know that we try on stuff like this to stay
Speaker 1: out of the show with it and just handle it,
Speaker 1: but don't go on it. I mean, when you used
Speaker 1: the show, it works. And as soon as I mentioned
Speaker 1: this on the show yesterday, I had probably five different companies,
Speaker 1: some of them not meaning even in my own states.
Speaker 1: So we'll saw that today. And so I just it
Speaker 1: just kind of went with whoever got there first, and
Speaker 1: if I kind of knew who was connected, and you
Speaker 1: sent me somebody, and I will tell you that Braiden,
Speaker 1: Reuben Boy, Braiden Braiden. See this is Braiden is what's
Speaker 1: great about America. Braiden was like not only and I
Speaker 1: kept even thinking that Braiden was just the contact. It
Speaker 1: was his company, and I don't have any connection to
Speaker 1: Braiden that whatever. I paid for it, just like everybody else. Okay,
Speaker 1: but it was interesting because I said, hey man, he said,
Speaker 1: here's how much it'll cost. Let's go. I thought it
Speaker 1: would be get back in a few days. He says, well,
Speaker 1: I'm here right now. You want to just do it now?
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, come on, do it now. That's all
Speaker 1: so And then I go, hey, who do I need
Speaker 1: to settle up with? And he goes, well, I'm here.
Speaker 1: I'm like what you're You're on the ladder. I'm on
Speaker 1: the ladder man, I'm doing it. I am the one.
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay. So I get home and
Speaker 1: Braiden's climbing all over the house and getting it done
Speaker 1: and gave me a reasonable price, and I said, thank
Speaker 1: you very much. He did an outstanding job knocked out yesterday.
Speaker 1: That now everybody else has left me hanging for weeks,
Speaker 1: not returning claiming I'm gonna come by and give an ask,
Speaker 1: but never hear from them. Hey, get in line, Hey,
Speaker 1: it'll be five be five weeks before we want to
Speaker 1: give you an estimate. And Braiden got in there, did
Speaker 1: a masterful job and got it knocked out and got
Speaker 1: it done. That's good, that's good, just before the some
Speaker 1: more rain gets here. Yes, and even let us know
Speaker 1: that one of our gutters may be damaged. Oh damaged gutter? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: we have a lot of storms.
Speaker 3: We did a lot of things things, how did the
Speaker 3: how did the gut the gut or cleaning braiden. What's
Speaker 3: his stance on these guards that they put over, Because
Speaker 3: I've heard good things and bad.
Speaker 1: Things, and that's exactly what he said. What is it?
Speaker 1: He said, here's what he said. He said, you've heard
Speaker 1: about well he said, he said, it's all about where
Speaker 1: where you live, Okay, And he said, and where you
Speaker 1: live bird, which is sweet Home, Alabama. He said, our
Speaker 1: rain is so torrential when it comes. You know, these
Speaker 1: afternoon thumbstorms that dump inches at a time, like like
Speaker 1: just pouring, pouring, pouring. He said that those shields don't
Speaker 1: do you to good. He said, you're still gonna have
Speaker 1: water problems because it's just too much water. He said, Now,
Speaker 1: if you've got light rain, you know, normal rain, they
Speaker 1: do great, he said, but this is these after these
Speaker 1: gully washers that come through. He said, it's gonna there's
Speaker 1: only somebody se can do. So he was like, he
Speaker 1: was like it it's not awful. But if you think
Speaker 1: your stand of all your problems, that's that's that's a
Speaker 1: little delusional as well. Yeah, So well it's just done though,
Speaker 1: So Sherry's happy. Yep, she's happy. That's always happy. That's
Speaker 1: all that matters. Yeah, I don't smile, I said, well,
Speaker 1: got that, doe. I walked out too when my Phillips said,

Speaker 1: If I can get John Wilburn to to to give

Speaker 3: old combo v c R CD CD burning.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not throwing those things away. You never know.
Speaker 3: No, I do have it. I don't think I'm gonna
Speaker 3: be able to burn it to a D. But we're
Speaker 3: gonna work on how he can he can listen to it.
Speaker 1: There's a way to do it. Yeah, there he is.
Speaker 3: And we'll make a couple of easy steps. And he
Speaker 3: likes to get up really early and have his devotional
Speaker 3: and and have his his coffee and and I think
Speaker 3: that's before mom gets up. That maybe could help him
Speaker 3: get that going.
Speaker 1: Uh. But we'll you know what I was thinking now
Speaker 1: to help me and maybe Adler can chime here. He
Speaker 1: may know more y'all help me. Could he use one
Speaker 1: of these the voice activated since it's on audible, Hey,
Speaker 1: so and so, yes, start something something, let me hear men,
Speaker 1: don't run in the round on audible. Yeah, maybe that's
Speaker 1: it a voice activating. Now I'm stepping out. It's not
Speaker 1: my world. We'll work on that.
Speaker 3: I just said, right, maybe, yeah, yeah, I could. I
Speaker 3: could ask my assistant here. I won't say it, so
Speaker 3: I don''t you know, Hey, can you start this app
Speaker 3: and see what happens?
Speaker 2: But you can use Alexa and Siri tons.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go through it. Dad, we got it. We're
Speaker 1: doing it, mister, we're doing it. Uh.
Speaker 3: But also with Hobe, you brought something up yesterday because
Speaker 3: they said.
Speaker 1: It's got Alexa built in that app? Does oh yeah?
Speaker 1: Does it? Well? I have an extra at the house. Huh.
Speaker 1: I wonder if I said Syria work too. Did you
Speaker 1: say that to yeah? Probably working?
Speaker 2: Say play audible or played my book in audible.
Speaker 1: I call it we go.
Speaker 3: I call a little boom box. But you know that
Speaker 3: the old boom boxes that are portable you plug in,
Speaker 3: but portable, but had the little CD player on the
Speaker 3: top that the door would open.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he has one. He has one that says posides.
Speaker 3: And that's how matter of fact, it has a radio
Speaker 3: on it. Uh, and that's how he's listening now to
Speaker 3: the river.
Speaker 1: I hate to see CDs go away product product.
Speaker 3: So but maybe that maybe getting an Alexa and put
Speaker 3: it right there in addition to that, and it can
Speaker 3: just he can just tell it.
Speaker 1: Hey, start, you know, and then we'll work through it
Speaker 1: will work through that. Then you got the other end
Speaker 1: of the spectrum. Greg, I know how you are. You
Speaker 1: don't listen to the books. You read them. You like to read.
Speaker 1: It's called a book. Yeah, yeah, does it matter to
Speaker 1: you that you had the paperback? And now do you
Speaker 1: want do you do you just to hardcover? Me more
Speaker 1: to you now? Or yeah I'm a hardcover guy. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure he would love to read. He
Speaker 1: just can't. Yeah, well we got Yeah, we understand that
Speaker 1: some might not. Yeah, I'm just saying, but it's really
Speaker 1: not like an audiobook. It's not a book. It's a
Speaker 1: basically podcast es, basically a podcasts. But if you're blind,
Speaker 1: Greg is, sure's good to have it. Yeah, yeah, you're
Speaker 1: making fund the blind again, I'm not Dad, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: watch it. Greg's wattled with the blinde. You say that
Speaker 1: you came up. I understand those that aren't able. You know,
Speaker 1: let me go ahead more than you, because it's gonna
Speaker 1: get in your head too, if you ever decided to
Speaker 1: listen to the audio version. Uh huh, and and and
Speaker 1: that one right there, and I'm pointed. Greg, he ruins everything.
Speaker 1: He ruins everything. So I thought, you know, I thought,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this on just to see how it went. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm now picking up on things of me reading it
Speaker 1: that Greg's gonna make fun. I can't win. It's like
Speaker 1: things jump out, I said in the way I said
Speaker 1: that because I was trying to the nunciate work because
Speaker 1: we chew words up. Oh yeah, they open your mind.
Speaker 1: That kept telling me to open my mouth and Southerners don't.
Speaker 1: And Greg's gonna make fun. Well, I'm probably I won't
Speaker 1: listen to it because I'll read it. That's right, you've
Speaker 1: already read it, Greg, Yeah, I'm gonna read it again.
Speaker 1: I'm reading the hardback verse into there's a there might
Speaker 1: be a few things of the hardcover, some edits, because
Speaker 1: when we put out those paperbacks, they were just for
Speaker 1: the conferences. Because we wanted to have it available and
Speaker 1: that one was not the final edit. So the hardcover
Speaker 1: it'll be it's gonna be the same thing. But you'll
Speaker 1: know there's some things the sept for things that my
Speaker 1: thought that are still wrong. That's the old single. Let
Speaker 1: that go by the way. The second printing. They're fixing
Speaker 1: that from them, But trying to trying to help people.
Speaker 1: What about death people if they have a translator, listen
Speaker 1: to the audio while signing to the death person Greg,
Speaker 1: they can read. Deaf people can What if they couldn't
Speaker 1: have that access to a book, kidd?
Speaker 2: Death people can read?
Speaker 1: Can you know how they get real animated when they do?
Speaker 1: But deaf people can read. I'm talking about the ones
Speaker 1: where you're doing a song. I'm talking about you know
Speaker 1: what you're hearing about it.
Speaker 2: We know what you're talking about, but just show.
Speaker 1: Hey, can I just tell you this, The fight's not over.
Speaker 1: I know things are going pretty well on the conservative
Speaker 1: side and we get all fired up and we say, hey,
Speaker 1: we got this. Uh, don't do that. How many times
Speaker 1: in our lives have we been told, hey, just because
Speaker 1: you're you're winning the game, you got to play all
Speaker 1: the way to the end. You don't stop, you keep going,
Speaker 1: you keep pressing. Now more than ever, you need Blaze
Speaker 1: TV wine. We need to know what's going on, and
Speaker 1: you do really think the legacy media is can go well, Okay, great,
Speaker 1: the conservative stuff seems to be winning, So let's all
Speaker 1: go back to journalism. That's not going to happen. That
Speaker 1: ship has sailed. If you want investigative journalism, you better
Speaker 1: have Blaze TV and you can get the content on
Speaker 1: demand on any device. We're talking about bold content. We're
Speaker 1: talking about creators who think for themselves. We're talking about
Speaker 1: those that refuse to be silenced by big tech. Not
Speaker 1: gonna happen. You're gonna get the truth there. We're talking
Speaker 1: about investigative journalism. We're talking about documentaries that get down

Speaker 1: so BlazeTV dot com slash Rick now more than ever,
Speaker 1: Blaze TV, unfiltered, unafraid, and owned demand. All right, So
Speaker 1: I want you guys to know, because we made a
Speaker 1: decision in January that the budget just could not support
Speaker 1: us buying just breakfast every day from a restaurant. We
Speaker 1: had a restaurant that provided it, and they realized it
Speaker 1: was too expensive to do that. Sweet, wonderful people. We
Speaker 1: love the people there and they're they're good to us
Speaker 1: and they continue to be good to us. But that
Speaker 1: particular arrangement wasn't working for anyone. Well, I love your
Speaker 1: the ruler.
Speaker 3: You know, on one end it's wasteful spending and on
Speaker 3: the other end it's nickel and diamond. That was waste,
Speaker 3: wasteful spinning. So as far as we're grown, we can
Speaker 3: handle our own breakfast. But man, that was nice because
Speaker 3: it was nice, it was expensive. We've got to run
Speaker 3: the numbers and we're in our old place and the
Speaker 3: place we got for always.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's another one of those things, you know, we say, guys, Hey,
Speaker 1: thanks Joe Biden. Yeah, the process went up on everything
Speaker 1: and everything just unbelievable. Maybe maybe Trump can get it
Speaker 1: back down that we can start affording that that again,
Speaker 1: but it didn't make sense. Now I keep being told
Speaker 1: of how great it was, and it was great. So
Speaker 1: now and Greg, pardoners for this. I know this bothers you.
Speaker 1: You made it clear when we first started this year
Speaker 1: that you don't you don't really like this commitment to
Speaker 1: try and do a little bit better. You get ill
Speaker 1: about it. We overdo it. Yeah, and if a blind
Speaker 1: person was trying to do better and you imagine there
Speaker 1: you'all go. But yeah, Greg, the only person that's created
Speaker 1: a scenario where a deaf person can't read, Yeah, we
Speaker 1: got Helen Keller. Who else? No, I'm not saying I
Speaker 1: can't read? But what if they reade a place where
Speaker 1: they's say, books weren't available there anything place a deaf
Speaker 1: person is found a place where books are not available
Speaker 1: and now they need to sign and they have and
Speaker 1: so someone signs the audiobook to them while listening to
Speaker 1: read it, and they're real animated when they do it,
Speaker 1: like at a concert, yeah, which I don't know about
Speaker 1: them concert people doing that. So I'm at a concert
Speaker 1: and I'm deaf, and I got to have a translator,
Speaker 1: but because the concert is heart cheap, but I guess
Speaker 1: you can feel the base though, you can in that
Speaker 1: person's energy. How are they going? And again that's different
Speaker 1: than the ones who signed that. It's not intended for
Speaker 1: deaf people. It's just for everybody. Well, Greg, and now
Speaker 1: we also have to go in there. And it's also
Speaker 1: different for those people who can't sign and somewhere somehow
Speaker 1: find their way on stage. Yeah, now that that's happened
Speaker 1: to you that at the Mandela Big Deal leaders believable
Speaker 1: may be the best. Gracious. So if if you would
Speaker 1: like to leave the room, if you'd like to just
Speaker 1: sit silent, I'd like to discuss our ongoing battle to
Speaker 1: get the proper things here for breakfast. Okay, And you've
Speaker 1: made it clear how I look. At my point is
Speaker 1: this bunch I can't take serious when they have it. Look,
Speaker 1: why we got to overdue things. We're not overdoing any
Speaker 1: Yeah we do. I'll tell you one bite or something.
Speaker 1: I'm good, gosh, settled down. One buy it don't hurt you.
Speaker 1: I know I know that, Greg. But we bread. We
Speaker 1: need no one hears y'all when that attack bread, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's eating bread first while they're lying they've done more
Speaker 1: than that. Yeah, I don't believe that you can just
Speaker 1: quit eating bread and all of a sudden you've lost
Speaker 1: fifty pounds. I believe that. Of course, you know, Jesus said,
Speaker 1: talk about bread a lot. I like bread called itself bread. Yeah,
Speaker 1: here you go, because there was a little different bread,
Speaker 1: I mean, but still still so I would I would
Speaker 1: just like to say to you, Speedy and you Adler,
Speaker 1: not you Greg, that I you know, because we're all
Speaker 1: trying to do a little bit better, and you know,
Speaker 1: and we talked to people you know in nutrition that
Speaker 1: that that try to help us. Greg. They know what
Speaker 1: they're doing. They know what they're doing, and I'm not
Speaker 1: promoting just being unhealthy. Y'all. Y'all go too far with that, okay,
Speaker 1: all right? Type two? So so we we uh not
Speaker 1: necessarily you got the sugar, So Speedy, I want I
Speaker 1: want you to know that I talked to trainer Sean
Speaker 1: Oh and he's also known as his Daddy, and he said,
Speaker 1: he said, here's some things y'all need to add to
Speaker 1: what y'all doing for breakfast. And then he said, I
Speaker 1: hate to tell you this because I know it didn't
Speaker 1: make any sense for the restaurant or y'all on an
Speaker 1: every day. But what y'all were eating was perfect, was perfect,
Speaker 1: And he said, so you got to find it perfect.
Speaker 1: And what you're missing out on he said, need to
Speaker 1: do better with protein? And he said, he said, that
Speaker 1: makes you suggestion, some suggestions some protein you can add.
Speaker 1: That's watch watch Greg's face because you know I do
Speaker 1: food journals for him to look at. So, uh journal,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that I got a food Why don't
Speaker 1: do it all the time. So I got a sleep chart.
Speaker 1: I don't have a sleep chart. That's speedy. I gotta sleep.
Speaker 1: If you want to fight, we can. So what do
Speaker 1: you what? So what do you? I mean? That's just
Speaker 1: so when I went to the grocer times a year
Speaker 1: and eight during the day, I don't do that. Why
Speaker 1: I went to Uh And by the way, I've got
Speaker 1: a vision board too that our Haystacks, my roommate from college. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So he looked at some picture I had from Memorial whatever.
Speaker 1: Of course he's like another nemesis. All he did on
Speaker 1: the picture. And it's the only nickname I've ever had
Speaker 1: for some reason, he nicknamed me jig and Jiggy and
Speaker 1: so he all he says, he pulls the picture I
Speaker 1: guess he saw it somewhere. You're you're clearly flexing in
Speaker 1: this picture, Jiggy flexing, flexing. I'm not flexing and and flexing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was like, you're flexing this picture, Jiggy, And I said, no,
Speaker 1: I think I'm just jacked. Of course he hated that. Yeah. Uh, anyway,
Speaker 1: so this is funny. So I got so, I added
Speaker 1: some protein. I got something funny. God, after Greg makes
Speaker 1: for somebody else, I'll take you. No, I can't take
Speaker 1: him serious because we used to go work out a lot.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, at the old place, and he made fun
Speaker 1: of us about it. But you'ah going do it, bet
Speaker 1: and give you in every way too ninety He made
Speaker 1: fun of hush, remember now you do? I remember. So
Speaker 1: I can't have a hard time getting past that when
Speaker 1: he's telling me to make a food journy. I know
Speaker 1: we Greg, you know what. You know why I stopped
Speaker 1: doing it because God said that I was wrong. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: the gods.
Speaker 2: Well that's what God.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, you know me, that's about the way
Speaker 1: you give me. I look, act of God?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 1: But you're taking him rich? I battle him every day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm doing a little bit better. And that's hard. It's
Speaker 1: hard in that food world. I ballied him every day.
Speaker 1: O you think, oh Rick won't getting away of a
Speaker 1: help playing well? Just quit eating bread? How did you
Speaker 1: lose the weight?
Speaker 2: An act of God?
Speaker 1: Exactly right? Did I tell you the time Cherry said
Speaker 1: that in silenced the room? There's somebody Cherry was there
Speaker 1: and I didn't know about it. I went there and
Speaker 1: they told me about it. They were like, hey, what
Speaker 1: I noticed Rick finally tried to do something bad? What
Speaker 1: was it that finally? What was the turning punks? I
Speaker 1: know it's hard. He's try to think and Shrey goes
Speaker 1: when he got when he realized that what he was
Speaker 1: doing was sin and they were like, oh, okay, well
Speaker 1: that's one Yeah, that's one way to look at it.
Speaker 1: But anyway, so here comes Greg. I know what he's
Speaker 1: gonna say without even go ahead, go ahead and go what.
Speaker 1: I was talking to Hoby yesterday.

Speaker 1: have trouble with it. You really. I don't like the
Speaker 1: texture both and it's got a texture problem. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: Jami may be good. But like I said, I've told
Speaker 1: you what it looks like. Yes you have, thank you
Speaker 1: now I wanted. Okay, we got it, Greg, we got it.
Speaker 1: We know Greg. Every time every time somebody puts it
Speaker 1: on the table. A last season of GA, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't bring you see one time I thought that it
Speaker 1: was gonna turn into nothing. I know he put him
Speaker 1: in everything. I mean, he would have an avocado. I

Speaker 1: Don't miss the Last Rodeo. Make America Healthy Again. It
Speaker 1: looks like it has had an impact on Skittles. I
Speaker 1: don't know where where is there by own Skittles. I
Speaker 1: don't hate them, but I can live with that skittle guy.
Speaker 1: I don't know skittles, never been a skittle guy. I
Speaker 1: like that type of Can you love Skittles.
Speaker 2: Purple bag as a kid? I man, I've got um
Speaker 2: dioxide going through my veins right now.
Speaker 1: Settle down. Is that what's keeping you liking?
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 1: Short of breath? Yes? Okay, so Mars Wrigley apparently they're
Speaker 1: they're the skittle folks. The e merged. They're forced to
Speaker 1: change Skittle's recipe after r. F K Junior and his
Speaker 1: bomb shell report. They said that after hearing him try
Speaker 1: to explain the problem to ask could he just write it?
Speaker 1: Uh So anyway, he's he's linked. He's linked their ingredient
Speaker 1: to cancer risk. Uh And they have quietly until today
Speaker 1: when we announced it on the show, had the recipe
Speaker 1: reformulated because of this health report. Now, this is problematic.
Speaker 1: It kind of goes back to the this is always
Speaker 1: the problem with these things, and we always use the
Speaker 1: best example in the biggest cases involving cigarettes. It's one
Speaker 1: thing when you have a product and you don't know
Speaker 1: the health risk, then you're made aware of the health
Speaker 1: risk and you hide it, which is what they got
Speaker 1: the cigarette people. Yeah, okay, research so addictive. Yeah, now
Speaker 1: I know that. I don't know why we were thought
Speaker 1: it was some big discovery that inhaling smoke into your
Speaker 1: lungs might not be a good thing. Took us a
Speaker 1: while to took us a while to get there. But
Speaker 1: but what what they what they burned them on and
Speaker 1: when the checks start going out and when it changed
Speaker 1: the landscape is Hey, y'all knew it and you and
Speaker 1: you hit it. I don't know where this is going
Speaker 1: to go because this feels like that they changed the
Speaker 1: recipe once it was exposed that they had a problem.
Speaker 1: The question I want to ask is, did y'all know
Speaker 1: y'all had this problem and you just kept the ingredients
Speaker 1: going and people are just consuming they're gonna taste any different? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm just curious. What are they taking out
Speaker 1: and then adding to take it down?
Speaker 2: Well, it's just the color.
Speaker 1: It's really just what it looks like I care about.
Speaker 2: I know, I don't care. And this is like the
Speaker 2: US version versus the European Union version, I know. And
Speaker 2: you can see, like the yellow is just a little
Speaker 2: more dingy, and the orange is not so deep orange,
Speaker 2: and the red is a little lighter. Who would notice it,
Speaker 2: it's barely different.
Speaker 1: Who cares?
Speaker 2: Yes, get the titanium dioxide out of their We don't care,
Speaker 2: my goodness.
Speaker 1: But do you see my point? Why would they cling
Speaker 1: to it if they knew it was a problem. All
Speaker 1: of you make the very obvious point. It's not even
Speaker 1: a game change when it comes to your enjoyment of
Speaker 1: the snack. I mean, I wouldn't. I wouldn't die on
Speaker 1: the it's the color of it. Hell, now I can
Speaker 1: see me being out there going, guys, our sack's not
Speaker 1: gonna be any good if we do this, It's not
Speaker 1: gonna taste good. But we're talking about the presentation visually
Speaker 1: and no more difference than it was, right, and you
Speaker 1: can barely tell the difference. I don't know why you
Speaker 1: would clean that. Maybe it's a cost thing.
Speaker 2: I don't know that's what I would have to just
Speaker 2: assume that it's just a cost thing. It's just cheaper
Speaker 2: to use that chemical to make them bright color versus
Speaker 2: other things. I mean, that's got to be it, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it doesn't make any sense otherwise. But anyway,
Speaker 1: they said they have changed it. They have quietly changed it.
Speaker 1: And again this is something to take this long. Right,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why I took this long, because nobody
Speaker 1: had taken the giant RFK junior spotlight like he did
Speaker 1: and said, we've got with this government has got something
Speaker 1: called make America healthy again. And we're going to take
Speaker 1: a big, old giant spotlight and we're gonna shine it
Speaker 1: into stuff Americans are consuming, and we're gonna at least
Speaker 1: make them aware of it and pressure you to change it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you guess they didn't change, so they got pressure.
Speaker 1: That's all. That's the only conclusion. The reason to cling
Speaker 1: to the old formula was it because it's cheaper to make.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm wondered. It has to be something, you know,
Speaker 1: that's what we were thinking, because it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: And yeah, why would you have ever had it? If
Speaker 1: it's well? To your point, Rick, it's sad that it
Speaker 1: took somebody like him to know. Ain't got that done?
Speaker 1: Pretty good awareness of all this, that's pretty good, Greg,
Speaker 1: he got it out of there. You're Greg, you're closing
Speaker 1: in the market. It's this, it's that. It's that right
Speaker 1: that that's you're closing in on. It's a little burnie there.
Speaker 1: But I understand we were doing something for a time
Speaker 1: and we didn't know. Thank you for making us aware.
Speaker 1: But where where cigarettes got burned is no? You knew
Speaker 1: and you kept doing Now. I'm not accusing Mars wrigularly
Speaker 1: of that. I'm just wondering, there's the cigarettes. They hit
Speaker 1: the fact that you could get addicted, but then they
Speaker 1: just up the price to pay the penalty. And you're
Speaker 1: already addicted, so you pay it. So they ended up
Speaker 1: paying their penalty off by raising prices. Thank you, thank you,
Speaker 1: Greg for we're already addicted to were putting that in
Speaker 1: a nutshell again, understand people who are addicted, how hard
Speaker 1: that is. I don't understand. The people who start smoking
Speaker 1: last week that I don't understand. And it's vaping thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my goodness, ozipic may be ruining your teeth? What yeah? Oh?
Speaker 1: What to know about the impact on dental health. Despite
Speaker 1: their widely touted benefits which we always have to see, yeah,
Speaker 1: this was coming primarily weight loss in diabetes control, among others,
Speaker 1: the medications have also now been linked to some unwelcome
Speaker 1: side effects we know of some of them. In addition
Speaker 1: to the main complaints of the gastro intestinal issues, some
Speaker 1: lesser known side effects have emerged, including mood changes. We
Speaker 1: talked about that hair loss something now called ozipic face.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we've seen that, but now all but now
Speaker 1: there's rumblings from patients and doctors suggesting that weight loss
Speaker 1: drug may be linked to tooth decay and gum disease
Speaker 1: like irritation and bleeding. What isn't a new phrase, are
Speaker 1: you ready for this? Ozimpic teeth? Much like ocepic face,
Speaker 1: it's got teeth with it. It is a term coin
Speaker 1: to describe a characteristic that some believe could be related
Speaker 1: hadn't been proven. Didn't sound like, so we need to
Speaker 1: make sure we say that that the use of the
Speaker 1: weight loss drug and the diabetes drugs is now affecting
Speaker 1: their oral health. Hmmm, that's not good now, But again,
Speaker 1: you know, we always have to saying everything. They've also
Speaker 1: found benefits of these drugs. Look, anytime you're deal with pharmaceuticals,
Speaker 1: you're in this, you're in this juggling act. Does the
Speaker 1: benefit outweigh the side effect?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why you should baby, consult your doctor, sit
Speaker 3: down and see what's best for you and how it's
Speaker 3: affecting you.
Speaker 1: And you know, I mean, I'm serious, instead.
Speaker 2: Of just yeah, and then ask your doctor where they
Speaker 2: got their mercedes from.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there he goes.
Speaker 2: You know, I've noticed there's a pharmaceutical company on the
Speaker 2: side of your nice luxury vehicle.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, well, I mean, well you just got let's
Speaker 1: just let's just hear it all. Okay, let's just hear it.
Speaker 1: It's gotta it's gotta affect your muscles and and all that. Right,
Speaker 1: that was epic. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, your your muscle mask goes way down. You've seen
Speaker 2: these magical shrinking people.
Speaker 1: Well that's is that where we get osempic face from? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and neck and by the way, these are not these
Speaker 1: these shots are not inexpensive. They're not there. I mean
Speaker 1: it's so we'll we'll see. But anyway, so there's a
Speaker 1: there's some little little update on some foods and pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 1: Those things are out today. That's signs, right, Well, well
Speaker 1: we're bringing stuff that's signs what that is? You know
Speaker 1: what I've said, Well, I love choice, but I sure
Speaker 1: would like to make sure that I'm making a well educated,
Speaker 1: informed choice and then make the choice. Make fun of that,
Speaker 1: buddy a little bit about it. Yeah, it's emails from you, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you the audience out there in bird world saying got
Speaker 1: a few things I want you guys to discuss. So
Speaker 1: let's get started. Hey, burdg hay Burge from Allison. I

Speaker 1: know you're out on this, Greg, you and I are
Speaker 1: right on the line. Speedy, probably you're out too. Did
Speaker 1: you know, hey, bird hay Burge, I did not know
Speaker 1: that Speedy at one time was the hot guy for McDonald's.
Speaker 1: What happened? Did y'all remember this? Oh? It says that
Speaker 1: his name is Speedy. No McDonald's but before before Ronald McDonald,
Speaker 1: before Ronald McDonald's in our life? Well, well, Greg, I
Speaker 1: didn't say it was during our life. I just said
Speaker 1: it happened.
Speaker 2: Didn't you have? Didn't you have like a hood ornament

Speaker 1: I haven't had that. Look. Did you remember this guy?
Speaker 1: I do not do not know. Yeah, anybody anybody want
Speaker 1: to google that? When was McDonald's using speedy? I guess
Speaker 1: it was before Ronald McDonald's.
Speaker 2: Well, is this a new version to rigged? In the
Speaker 2: email you sent me?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. What is that? Yeah? Maybe it is?
Speaker 1: Maybe they got a I to make it or something,
Speaker 1: cause you're right, that looks more modern? Are they bringing
Speaker 1: that back? A lot of questions? Allison only had a
Speaker 1: one line of email here. She just said, I didn't
Speaker 1: know speedy you should be the hot man for McDonald's here,
Speaker 1: so I don't remember.
Speaker 3: The maginal mascot of McDonald's was replaced by Ronald McDonald
Speaker 3: in nineteen sixty two.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm not even born yet they started. I
Speaker 1: didn't say we were alive this. I said it was

Speaker 1: kill a lot. So yeah, so that was Some of
Speaker 1: you that are older than us, older than us might
Speaker 1: remember speedy as McDonald's. I know we've discussed this before.

Speaker 1: them talking about scat and juveniles please, a lot of that,
Speaker 1: A lot of scat talk. Hey, Birch a bird. Speaking
Speaker 1: of this, I've listened to both episodes of the new podcast,
Speaker 1: Stranging Counters Number one. I would like to say it's phenomenal,
Speaker 1: very informative, and very necessary. Here's my question. I understand
Speaker 1: that you don't want to do a podcast about aliens, bigfoot,
Speaker 1: et cetera. However, the description of the podcast says Rick
Speaker 1: Burgess tackles Aliens, ghost, bigfoot, and Demons. Does it? And
Speaker 1: he says, he said, maybe I wrote that down wrong,
Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure that it does well. By the way.
Speaker 1: He said, Now let me tell you what that is.
Speaker 1: We're debunking it. That's why that's in there. We're saying
Speaker 1: that all these things have been mislabeled, that actually all
Speaker 1: if anybody had a real experience fall in the realm
Speaker 1: of the supernatural that scripture is talking about. So we're
Speaker 1: taking on these things and saying, those who have something
Speaker 1: that seems credible, we do not. We're going to show
Speaker 1: you it's not these things. We believe it all comes
Speaker 1: from angels and demons. So that that's why that's in there.
Speaker 2: Yeah. In fact, you even say this is not about Bigfoot.
Speaker 1: Well that yeah he was. And we're saying that if
Speaker 1: we any stories like that this incredible, we're telling you
Speaker 1: there's an answer to it that is not it's a monster.
Speaker 1: It is likely from the demonic side of the spiritual
Speaker 1: war that scripture says is going on all around us.
Speaker 1: Episode three. We'll talk about some of that again this weekend.
Speaker 1: So you're not going to go to the conference, I
Speaker 1: am not. But Greg, is this Rapp's house. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you one thing, if they were having it over to
Speaker 1: by my house, I would, Greg, you got you for
Speaker 1: a show. I would where your blue staff shirt and
Speaker 1: go You're going a couple of things also to cover today,
Speaker 1: you know, you just had a smooth, smooth trip, Speedy.
Speaker 1: I was so excited about how well your trip went
Speaker 1: to Dallas went. Other than you mojoing the stars, but
Speaker 1: as far as the travel, it could not have gone smoother.
Speaker 1: Your flights were very smooth. You and your son had
Speaker 1: a wonderful time together. Now that was the end of
Speaker 1: the stars. You know, run to the Stanley Cup. But
Speaker 1: let me tell you they got a win tonight. The
Speaker 1: it's buddy, You've done enough.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: Speedy also has a pretty good impression of this particular animal. Uh,
Speaker 1: we have a Delta flight delayed. While everyone was sitting
Speaker 1: aboard the plane in Minneapolis. Uh, why were they delayed?
Speaker 1: Two pigeons decided to be part of the passenger inside
Speaker 1: the plane. Inside the plane here, here's here's The women
Speaker 1: are screaming.
Speaker 3: And I think that's probably a natural response if you
Speaker 3: have something flying around.
Speaker 1: I would my wife would probably know. Would you scream?
Speaker 3: I wouldn't scream that you don't. You really don't know
Speaker 3: how you're going to react. You know, landed on one
Speaker 3: woman's head, so I'm sure she's screaming.
Speaker 1: You see the guy that those you that can't see it,
Speaker 1: This guy has nearly catches it in his jacket. I guess, yes,
Speaker 1: his jacket. Wise got a jacket and maybe, uh, he's
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis, so I guess, but he he nearly caught
Speaker 1: the pigeon. Pigeons got some good size too. Yeah that's
Speaker 1: a big pigeon. Yeah, And but it gets right through
Speaker 1: his jacket, right into the woman's face behind him, sadly.
Speaker 3: And there was also people, you know, a plane and
Speaker 3: in some situations the plane can get a little bit warm,
Speaker 3: but it also can be a little chilly as well.
Speaker 3: So there was some ladies when when we were on
Speaker 3: the flight that had like a little little throw or
Speaker 3: a little you know, blanket of some kind that they
Speaker 3: would put your legs, put on some sort of winter
Speaker 3: clothing because you were going to sit by the ice ring.
Speaker 1: Well now uh and uh.
Speaker 3: And I also saw where some people got their blankets
Speaker 3: out trying to catch it. The pigeons great too of
Speaker 3: them tried to get If you were on there, you
Speaker 3: tried to call it.
Speaker 1: If you're flying over my head, Oh you think you
Speaker 1: wouldn't have got You would think he wouldn't got it.
Speaker 2: Well, letting that thing touch my hood.
Speaker 1: Probably would have tried to talk to it again and down. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know maybe maybe if it's sit down like that,
Speaker 1: you're communicating with it. Yes, me, uh, you realize to
Speaker 1: Adner's point, the pigeon, the pigeon is the rodent of
Speaker 1: the of the bird work.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's a rat with wings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, another nasty. Hey, hey, greg o, pige you're thinking nasty.
Speaker 1: You've seen him. You've been sitting in the drive through
Speaker 1: at a fast food restaurant. Say no, pige over around
Speaker 1: the dumpster. Yeah, he'll show up. So you can't walk
Speaker 1: around French quarter outs not knocking one of them. Picture
Speaker 1: this speedy. You're trying to get out of your feet.
Speaker 1: You're trying to get back for the Stallion's game, and
Speaker 1: your flight is delayed. And I have the number here
Speaker 1: in the story fifty six minutes because of pigeons, because
Speaker 1: of stupid Peter still made it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was thinking while we were taxing back and getting
Speaker 3: ready to I was like, just don't don't anybody do anything.
Speaker 1: Don't anbody act the full everybody just sit Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then somebody they were probably thinking the same thing. All
Speaker 1: of a sudden, these pigeons get in there and start
Speaker 1: flying around. Hate this make tasting. Can I get my pigeons?
Speaker 1: Just take off? What the pigeon gonna do? If somebody
Speaker 1: I'm gonna kick somebody, But you have a pigeon, I'd
Speaker 1: rather fly. I'd rather fly with the pigeon to be delayed,
Speaker 1: I would too, Greg, It's just pigeons. They're nasty. I
Speaker 1: hope they don't crap on me. But let's let's see
Speaker 1: if we can't get this. Y'all, eat a pigeon, eat
Speaker 1: aig you talking about to survive or just hey, I
Speaker 1: kind of want to eat a pigeon. I bet it's
Speaker 1: a lot like a dove.
Speaker 2: That's not that far on a lot of dove eaten
Speaker 2: a lot of dove.
Speaker 1: Like my favorite. Quail's my favorite. We love a quail.
Speaker 2: We used to kill so many doves, and my dad's
Speaker 2: would with My dad would grill them up.
Speaker 1: We ate, We ate so much.
Speaker 2: And my mom was disgusted because we had just shot
Speaker 2: him in our backyard.
Speaker 1: I was just horribly discussed fence post right maybe off
Speaker 1: the right off? Did y'all do standard dove breast wrapped
Speaker 1: in bacon? Yes, yes, you love that? Oh yeah, it's great.
Speaker 1: What about pigeon breast and bacon. I probably wouldn't know that.
Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't know the difference. If it was prepared right,
Speaker 1: I'd probably eat it. Sherol would I probably eat that
Speaker 1: chiawan a tight? Yeah, I mean, I mean if it
Speaker 1: was a tight If I didn't know, I love that thing.
Speaker 1: Like people think they'll make these declarations that they would
Speaker 1: never eat a dog or a cat. You don't know,
Speaker 1: you probably already have.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, what pigeons and doves are essentially the
Speaker 2: same species.
Speaker 1: I knew it. I look exactly.
Speaker 2: The term dove is often used for smaller, lighter colored
Speaker 2: members of the pigeon family.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow, they come to the bird feeder and they
Speaker 1: look just like pigeons. I I'm in on the pigeon.
Speaker 1: You know. There are some places where they hunt wild
Speaker 1: pigeons and they eat them like it's nothing. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: can there's restaurants in other parts of the world where
Speaker 1: pigeons on the menu. Are you serious?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And people weren't shoot pigeons like people and people. I'd
Speaker 1: I'd rather not eat old pigeons over eating out of
Speaker 1: the McDonald's dumpster. But where can I eat a pigeon?
Speaker 2: Y'all? It's like the You know how squirrels have great
Speaker 2: pr because of their fluffy tail. The doves have a
Speaker 2: great pr there. They've got white feathers instead of a
Speaker 2: little longer.
Speaker 1: Now they're not that. A lot of them are just
Speaker 1: gray though, too. The ones we have great Where can
Speaker 1: where can I eat a there's people that have eaten
Speaker 1: pigeon on tick taxation. No surprise there. But Greg, I'm
Speaker 1: with you, you know, I say to everybody, can we Yeah,
Speaker 1: we all go with the pigeons. Let's get home. I
Speaker 1: got somewhere I got to be. Let's go. Pigeon fly.
Speaker 1: He's just a pigeon. Yeah, if you were in there
Speaker 1: and you had some Cooper's Hawk in there that could
Speaker 1: call people's eyes auts different, that's different. By the way,
Speaker 1: they will Cooper's Hawk. I don't know if y'all have them.
Speaker 1: They'll just set up in your backyard and they do
Speaker 1: quite well. You see one dive in the ditch. He's
Speaker 1: not all that big, and but he can make it happen.
Speaker 1: He went to the ditch.
Speaker 2: I had one hit my windows, my front windows of
Speaker 2: my house. I went to go open the blinds one day,
Speaker 2: I look down on the deck and there's just a
Speaker 2: gigantic hawk. I got out there with a trash bag,
Speaker 2: took care of it before anybody saw.
Speaker 1: He broke his No done.
Speaker 2: He's heavy in that trash bag too. You can feel
Speaker 2: his feathers.
Speaker 1: It goes uplifting story, you know the other Hey, y'all,
Speaker 1: they serve pigeons around here where I'm sitting here looking.
Speaker 1: It's not squab. Is a young pigeon?
Speaker 6: Is that right?
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's offered.
Speaker 3: Up as a specialty item on menus fine dining established.
Speaker 1: I've had pigeon at a fancy restaurant somebody pretty good,
Speaker 1: I have it. No, I've seen it on the menu though.
Speaker 3: Oh, they have some high end restaurants in Birmingham and
Speaker 3: even Atlanta that that have.
Speaker 1: It's a different kind of pigeon though, it's not. It's
Speaker 1: not your downtown pigeon. It's your like out there with
Speaker 1: the dove.
Speaker 2: In the wild pigeon eating good food, not like you know.
Speaker 1: If I have my choice, though, I'm gonna go Quail
Speaker 1: over over Dub if I if I have a choice,
Speaker 1: love Quail. Rick. You've made that clear, buddy, Rick, have you.
Speaker 2: How many of these have you had? Look different fouls?
Speaker 2: You got turkey goose, guinea.
Speaker 1: I've had turkey, I've had goose, I've had duck. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I hadn't had a guinea mallard to duck.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that one is. I'm not about

Speaker 1: Nobody's saying. I think it's poosing. Oh goodness and wow.
Speaker 1: I've had quails and everybody had a partridge. I've had pheasant.
Speaker 1: I've had I've had a ton of treck. Just no
Speaker 1: pigeon squad buried. How about I had pheasant get ready
Speaker 1: in London and they brought it out and had one
Speaker 1: big old having in big old feathers on the plate
Speaker 1: sticking out. Had to head on it and you ate it.
Speaker 1: It was good. How do you look past you feel
Speaker 1: like he's looking back at you. Well, I just turned
Speaker 1: his head away where I couldn't see him look at him.
Speaker 2: It's like on a Christmas story and he's like it's
Speaker 2: it's smiling at me.
Speaker 1: I can't tell.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: And they took care of it.
Speaker 2: And by the way, Speedy was right, here's how you
Speaker 2: pronounced I've got the I've got the audio. That particular
Speaker 2: type of fouls so I was right, you were right.
Speaker 1: Thank you right again, I heard you, cause it my outh.
Speaker 2: It's a type of foul greg.
Speaker 1: By the way, somebody's right. Duck is either fantastic or terrible.
Speaker 1: There's no in between you or one. Taxtonation you're one.
Speaker 1: I've had it, then I was I've had it where
Speaker 1: I went wow, a little greasy, and then I was
Speaker 1: trapping baking They're all good. Then I've had it, go yum,
Speaker 1: something weird when you cook it.
Speaker 2: Duck like expands when you cook it instead of shrinking
Speaker 2: like normal met it comes back to life. And then
Speaker 2: it's like this is the Rick Burgess Show.
Speaker 1: So we mentioned it earlier. Jared Hudson has been on
Speaker 1: the program before we talked about Covenant Rescue. Uh. Of course,
Speaker 1: Navy Seal has served our country and continues to do
Speaker 1: great work. As a matter of fact, you have an
Speaker 1: opportunity for those of you that are in the Birmingham area.
Speaker 1: And it's the dudes that I go to church with
Speaker 1: and I'm leading the men's ministry at our church. We
Speaker 1: have a lot of these things you know, going on
Speaker 1: all over the country with the Manchurch dot Com. And
Speaker 1: so our next gathering will be coming up on June
Speaker 1: the fourteenth, the Saturday morning before Father's Day, and Jared
Speaker 1: Hudson we'll be speaking to our men. We're going to
Speaker 1: have a breakfast and the first one hundred men that
Speaker 1: doesn't cost anything to sign up, we'll get a free
Speaker 1: copy of Men Don't Run in the Rain. And so
Speaker 1: if you want to go to the event's button right
Speaker 1: there at the manchurch dot com, look for June fourteenth,
Speaker 1: make plans to join us. Even if you don't sign
Speaker 1: up and you don't care about getting the free book,
Speaker 1: just come on and be with us for that breakfast
Speaker 1: coming up on June the fourteenth, And Jared Hudson is here. Well,
Speaker 1: you sure have a You made yourself a little announcement,
Speaker 1: haven't you. Yeah, I did yesterday after or no, yesterday morning.
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, you know it was you know, you
Speaker 1: and I had a conversation about this and when I
Speaker 1: when when we hung up from the conversation, I thought, well,
Speaker 1: let's let's see what happens, tell us take us through
Speaker 1: the process of you now deciding as Senator Tubraville has
Speaker 1: made his decision that he will not seek re election
Speaker 1: as the Senator from Alabama. He will now run for
Speaker 1: governor of Alabama. What what take us through the process
Speaker 1: of you deciding to run for that Senate space. Yeah, so,
Speaker 1: I mean it's definitely been a process. I think what
Speaker 1: probably two weeks ago, I called you just saying, hey,
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on this?
Speaker 5: Because I've been asked by quite a few people up
Speaker 5: to that point. But really it goes back to a
Speaker 5: year ago when people thought that Tommy was gonna, uh
Speaker 5: take a position in Trump's cabinet, you know this right
Speaker 5: for the election, and I'd asked, hey, would you consider,
Speaker 5: you know, submitting for an appointment. Going through that process,
Speaker 5: I'd been involved in politics here in Jefferson County running
Speaker 5: for sheriff and I'm the sheriff runner up and the
Speaker 5: Republicans choice.
Speaker 1: I didn't.
Speaker 5: I don't like saying I lost, No, but you know,
Speaker 5: running that race in Jefferson County kind of kept me
Speaker 5: tied in politics. What I do with Covenant Rescue Group,
Speaker 5: you know, kind of keeps time in politics. So that's
Speaker 5: the people that reached out and I said, yeah, hey,
Speaker 5: I'll consider anything. I think they were talking about possibly
Speaker 5: a special election. I said I'll consider anything, But I
Speaker 5: had no idea about it, and then nothing happened with it,
Speaker 5: you know, it just kind of died. Thought well, it
Speaker 5: was nothing, and then it resurfaced again in March timeframe,
Speaker 5: maybe yeah, probably about two months ago, and I said,
Speaker 5: I'll consider it with some supporters of not just Coach,
Speaker 5: but also of our organization and of me and what
Speaker 5: I've done in the past. I said, I'll consider it,
Speaker 5: and me and my wife started praying about it, and
Speaker 5: I said, what do you think we should do?
Speaker 1: Because of the word I kept getting was ask your wife,
Speaker 1: do what she says.
Speaker 5: And she kept saying, I think this is where God's
Speaker 5: moving us to.
Speaker 1: I don't know why.
Speaker 5: I can't tell you why, because this is never on
Speaker 5: our radar, right, And so I started walking through the
Speaker 5: process trying to push it over, and it kept standing
Speaker 5: back up every little thing we stepped to. Now, I
Speaker 5: will preface it with this, as a believer. We just
Speaker 5: talked about this off the air. Green lights don't always
Speaker 5: mean it's God right, and friction or red lights don't
Speaker 5: always mean it ain't God right. So you have to
Speaker 5: be discerning in that man, And all I could get
Speaker 5: seeking godly counsel, godly wisdom from people I know Hey,
Speaker 5: do you think we should do this? And it was
Speaker 5: just green light after green light until finally, about a
Speaker 5: week ago, I met with some people through some friends
Speaker 5: in Washington, d C. Went up for this specifically. Of
Speaker 5: course I was up for Law Enforcement Week the week before,
Speaker 5: but this is after that, and it was green lights
Speaker 5: all the way through the people who would give me
Speaker 5: a red light. I even asked the last guy, say,
Speaker 5: it's like the final boss in a Batman game. I
Speaker 5: asked him specifically. I said, bro, I'm looking for red lights.
Speaker 5: He said, you ain't get one from us. And so
Speaker 5: that was that was where we're at. And then Coach
Speaker 5: announced the other day and I almost I called into
Speaker 5: Leland full intentions, just saying, hey, I'm doing this by
Speaker 5: with some paus. I said, you know what, let's give
Speaker 5: it the evening. I bet somebody's gonna come out on
Speaker 5: the six o'clock news and depending on who it is, Braby,
Speaker 5: maybe maybe that's a red light. Maybe we don't do this,
Speaker 5: not a single soul Man super quiet, And I told
Speaker 5: my wife, I was like, we're going to do this.
Speaker 5: And in sniper school, whenever you're going through sniper school
Speaker 5: and we teach sniper school. We'd say, hey, give me
Speaker 5: a win, call three right, send it And I said,
Speaker 5: we fire this bullet out of gun. I ain't coming back, baby.
Speaker 5: She said send it. So the next morning went on
Speaker 5: JT and made the magic happen and ruined my life.
Speaker 1: And picking JT. No way to take that back. Oh no,
Speaker 1: no way to take that back.
Speaker 5: That's why I said, speedy a text. And the more
Speaker 5: I was driving out, I said, you know what, I
Speaker 5: better send these guys a text.
Speaker 1: Let them go ahead of time.
Speaker 5: No, I don't want to show up here and get
Speaker 5: beat up by.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, j T would love to see you.
Speaker 1: Got right now, love j We got some great stories.
Speaker 1: Yes he's a little expensive, but he's a goody. So
Speaker 1: now that's a that's a running joke between me and
Speaker 1: j T. But so this is the this is the
Speaker 1: bottom line on these type of decisions as as a
Speaker 1: follower of Christ. Is this going to enhance my ability
Speaker 1: to advance the kingdom? Or is it going to be
Speaker 1: a detriment. And one of the first things that you know,
Speaker 1: when you and I were talking that was concerned to me.
Speaker 1: Is this something that will enhance covenant rescue or or
Speaker 1: will it take you away from it and you had
Speaker 1: your conversation with them, what your how do you see
Speaker 1: this step as far as affecting this and those of
Speaker 1: you who don't know what Covenant Rescue does, it's talking
Speaker 1: about the sex trade and rescuing people from the sex
Speaker 1: trade and holding people accountable. Who are these wicked, evil
Speaker 1: people that do that? Yeah, and so this step, how
Speaker 1: would those two work together?
Speaker 5: No, that's a great question. And the.
Speaker 1: Me take a sip on my coffee.
Speaker 5: The we Covenant Rescue group, you know, and meeting with
Speaker 5: a team there. We do training for law enforcement all
Speaker 5: over the nation, right, and we've got operations. When I
Speaker 5: say operations, that's really a training. We run a bunch
Speaker 5: of different training programs, whether it's child exploitation or bread
Speaker 5: and butter, counter tracking, working with juvenile probation officers for
Speaker 5: missing children in certain counties in Alabama and also in
Speaker 5: certain states. So we have that program built out and
Speaker 5: we've been building it out since you know, we started
Speaker 5: in twenty eighteen, and that will run itself when we
Speaker 5: have a great team in place. We're changing his title.
Speaker 5: I don't know why we're changing titles, but he's our
Speaker 5: executive director, right, now Stuart Hartley, he will continue to
Speaker 5: do what he's doing. They don't need me to run,
Speaker 5: and that's the goal. I mean, when I was in
Speaker 5: the Seal teams, one thing I learned is, you know, yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm a sniper behind a gun, but if I get shot,
Speaker 5: we got to get another sniper behind a gun. That's
Speaker 5: just an nature of the world we live in. And
Speaker 5: so we've we've done a good job about making sure
Speaker 5: we have some depth, at least for as small of
Speaker 5: an organization as we are. We have some depth. So
Speaker 5: that mission will continue.
Speaker 1: And obviously we.
Speaker 5: Know that a political race will bring a lot of
Speaker 5: optics to that because it's just a political race, is
Speaker 5: just a marketing you know scheme.
Speaker 1: No doubt, that's some one thing I thought. You can
Speaker 1: now if the Lord allows you can regardless even in
Speaker 1: the running process, you'll be able to get into inside
Speaker 1: the government. So, hey, we got a problem that we
Speaker 1: need that needs to be addressed, and you can be
Speaker 1: working the faith based, which is already done, but also
Speaker 1: working from the worldly you know, platforms and the worldly government,
Speaker 1: so that also can be you know, a great asset.
Speaker 5: No, you're exactly right, and you just said, you know,
Speaker 5: kind of the worldly versus faith based. I mean, what's
Speaker 5: the Bible tell us says friendship with the world is
Speaker 5: enmity with God. So one of the things I've looked at,
Speaker 5: all of the people that are part of the political
Speaker 5: team don't necessarily like this, because we do have a
Speaker 5: team together. There's a team put together and ready to
Speaker 5: throw the switch when I threw the switch yesterday morning,
Speaker 5: and they're actively working on this campaign for me. But
Speaker 5: I don't want to be a friend of the world.
Speaker 5: If you're listening to me right now and you say, hey,
Speaker 5: you know, I'm not going to listen to anything this
Speaker 5: guy says.
Speaker 1: Your vote.
Speaker 5: It's important in the campaign, but it ain't the most
Speaker 5: important thing. Let me tell you right now, if you
Speaker 5: hear me, the most important thing about whatever it is
Speaker 5: that I'm doing is that I present Christ and Christ
Speaker 5: crucified to me as Jesus live a perfect life, came
Speaker 5: to this earth and live a perfect life. God rose
Speaker 5: again on the third day for my sins and yours
Speaker 5: everybody at this table, and it's through him we're set free.
Speaker 5: If you transact with Christ eternally, that's far more important
Speaker 5: than a vote. That's far more important than a dollar
Speaker 5: towards Covenant Rescue Group than a dollar toward a campaign.
Speaker 5: That is the most important thing, because it is eternal.
Speaker 5: That's the one thing that matters. The next most important
Speaker 5: thing for me is my wife and my girls and
Speaker 5: how I guide them ultimately to the person of Christ,
Speaker 5: but how I raise them so they can be members
Speaker 5: of society that actually bring good into the world, ultimately
Speaker 5: the good of Jesus Christ. And then obviously we get
Speaker 5: into what we're doing, whether it's Covenant Rescue Group or
Speaker 5: this campaign, this is a bigger platform to share Christ from.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the bottom line. Have you got a run,
Speaker 1: You've got another second? Yeah, let's do it. We'll talk
Speaker 1: one more segment with Jared and so he is going
Speaker 1: to be running for that Senate spot to represent Alabama.
Speaker 1: You've heard kind of the background. We're going to dig
Speaker 1: a little deeper when we come back, and again you
Speaker 1: want to come here Jared in Birmingham speak with us
Speaker 1: with the Man Church at Valleydale Church. Those details at
Speaker 1: the Manchurch dot com under events. Well, we're having a blast.
Speaker 1: Thank you America for being with us. Jared Hudson our guest. Well,
Speaker 1: he's announced that he will run for Senate. So let's
Speaker 1: jump into what that means. And we were discussing a
Speaker 1: little bit off air, but it's the first thing I
Speaker 1: thought of, and is that And I've even thought about
Speaker 1: you know, people, boy, it's got to be a call
Speaker 1: because you're you're about to step into the arena. I
Speaker 1: think right now, the two sides politically, when we're dealing
Speaker 1: with the ideology, there's no there's not a whole lot
Speaker 1: in common like the old days. Well, I'm a little
Speaker 1: more this way, and we have a disagreement on taxes
Speaker 1: that now it is world ideology that are opposed, and
Speaker 1: they're gonna come after you, and it's it's ugly, ugly.
Speaker 1: So I know you've had these discussions, or your wife
Speaker 1: wouldn't have said what she said, But talk to us
Speaker 1: a little bit about you're about to take your family
Speaker 1: and step into this mean, dark, twisted arena of I
Speaker 1: will go out and destroy somebody if I have to,
Speaker 1: just so they so I can win an election. Talking
Speaker 1: about the parties against each other, I know you're not
Speaker 1: going to do that, but but to have talk a
Speaker 1: little bit about stepping your family through this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So the only thing I want to destroy by way,
Speaker 5: is this tad big boy behind.
Speaker 1: Me, come over here. If you don't like thinking there's
Speaker 1: somebody behind you, do well.
Speaker 5: I don't like to think there's big boy behind me.
Speaker 5: That guy the way he cuts his eyes, he's untrustworthy.
Speaker 5: But yeah, so well that's one thing that's kind of sickening,
Speaker 5: sickening in politics because you've got a bunch of a
Speaker 5: bunch of folks who a lot of man ever even
Speaker 5: been in a fistfight, right, I know some of the
Speaker 5: some of the guys, some of the sentators up there
Speaker 5: that I've I met, and uh that whether there were
Speaker 5: team guys like me, I know a lot of them
Speaker 5: that were seals, or whether they were cage fighters, bank
Speaker 5: they might have done some of that, but for the
Speaker 5: most part, it's munch of paper cowboys. John Dutton terrible show.
Speaker 5: Don't watch it if you're a Christian, by the way,
Speaker 5: Yellowstone series. But he said, you know, we live in
Speaker 5: a world of coward's customs and cowards rules, and that
Speaker 5: is honestly what it is. And they'll claim that they're
Speaker 5: a warrior, but man, they ain't ever done nothing.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 5: It's kind of like, uh gladiator, you know, he's he's
Speaker 5: coming in as a conquering king, but what is he conquered?
Speaker 5: That's what they asked about the sun, the bad guy,
Speaker 5: and so we've seen that with politicians.
Speaker 1: So what do they do?
Speaker 5: They go after each other. And it's actually what Satan
Speaker 5: does to us. He's called the Great Accuser, and they
Speaker 5: pull skeletons out of people's calls that they drag their
Speaker 5: family through stuff, They make up stuff to to to
Speaker 5: drag their family through it. And it's and it's honestly
Speaker 5: pretty disgusting. One of the other things, though, is you
Speaker 5: might not have a candidate that does it. You might have,
Speaker 5: and I've learned this more recently over the past few months,
Speaker 5: you might have an organization like a pack or a
Speaker 5: super pack or something that's supportive of a certain candidate.
Speaker 5: They have no control over, right, and that's what that
Speaker 5: that's what that group does. They pull out and they attack,
Speaker 5: you know, opponents and things like that. Uh, it shouldn't
Speaker 5: be the what you know, Hey, this is this is
Speaker 5: my resume. That's good, but it shouldn't be the what
Speaker 5: of the process. It should be the who you know,
Speaker 5: who is it that's going to represent us? That that
Speaker 5: is important, but at the same time, dragging people's family
Speaker 5: through stuff, making stuff up. The cockroach and the salad thing.
Speaker 5: I think that so honestly, I think it's of the
Speaker 5: devil because he's the great accuser.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's a lot like we talked about this
Speaker 1: a little bit yesterday in the Wednesday Bible study. You're
Speaker 1: living in this time now and we are too. Two
Speaker 1: different platforms but the same thing. Where social media has
Speaker 1: provided cowards a dream because now I can cowardly hide,
Speaker 1: never reveal my identity. I can go out in a
Speaker 1: public arena, I can accuse you, I can say things
Speaker 1: about you, never have to face you, never have to
Speaker 1: tell you who I am. It's one of the things
Speaker 1: when Dad, we were talking about the new book. Dad
Speaker 1: never would go on sports shows. He hated to do that.
Speaker 1: And when we said, why do you not like going
Speaker 1: to these sports talk shows, he says, because somebody can
Speaker 1: call say anything they want to about you and stay anonymous.
Speaker 1: He goes, you know, if somebody can face me and
Speaker 1: look me in the eye and say something, then we
Speaker 1: can talk this out. Man demand, Well, they'd be less
Speaker 1: apt to say it, and they wouldn't do it because
Speaker 1: the risk of getting punched in the mouth. It's like
Speaker 1: what you just said, what we're doing now, you know
Speaker 1: how you talk about with this this this setup right
Speaker 1: here is right for filling the blank. We are living
Speaker 1: in a society right now where cowards are living their dream.
Speaker 1: It is a cowardly environment where cowards finally get to
Speaker 1: say what they want to say and never have to
Speaker 1: face anybody. And so you know, you're prepared for that,
Speaker 1: I know. But I mean, you know social media just
Speaker 1: you know, dude, like Trump did take social media and
Speaker 1: use it for your advantage. Well, and here it's an
Speaker 1: ugly place out there.
Speaker 5: Somebody it might have been my it's one of my
Speaker 5: brothers or something. Because we still have I mean, we
Speaker 5: get attacked with c RG. I get attacked what you know,
Speaker 5: what what I do there? And people will say things
Speaker 5: all the time because we have a pretty you know,
Speaker 5: big platform I guess for what we do. Yeah, that
Speaker 5: being said, people will say, oh, this guy is not
Speaker 5: the real deal. This guy's probably a pedophile. This guy's
Speaker 5: probably a guy who you know has child porn. I
Speaker 5: mean all the time, that's what we see on these comments.
Speaker 5: And so my brother said, hey, dude, do you ever
Speaker 5: read all these comments. I mean, you've got like ninety
Speaker 5: ninety five percent of the people love love you, and
Speaker 5: then but you got to five percent that the Bible
Speaker 5: calls scoffers. They're scoffers right there. And I said, no,
Speaker 5: I don't read any of the comments because if you
Speaker 5: read all of the good ones, you'll become arrogant. It
Speaker 5: will make you think you're more than you really are,
Speaker 5: because I'm not any of those things that they're saying.
Speaker 5: I'm a center saved by grace. If you read the
Speaker 5: negative ones, it'll make you forget who actually holds you,
Speaker 5: and that's, in my case, the person of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 5: I believe that should be for everybody. So you know,
Speaker 5: you just can't get get dialed into that social media
Speaker 5: because it's scoffers. It's you know, throwing your pearls before swine.
Speaker 5: You just got to use social media for what it's
Speaker 5: good for, marketing, for what we're doing when you need
Speaker 5: to raise support and then get your message out there.
Speaker 5: But that message has got to be something other than you,
Speaker 5: and in my case now running for you a Senate,
Speaker 5: it's always going to be Christ and Christ crucified. But secondly,
Speaker 5: I'm going to be your representative, whether you vote for
Speaker 5: me or not, I'm going to be the representative of
Speaker 5: the people. Because the first words of the preamble, right,
Speaker 5: the preamble, the Constitution, we the people. If you're hearing me,
Speaker 5: you're the king and queens of this land. And that
Speaker 5: liberty that you have, that leadership you have, comes with
Speaker 5: a responsibility, and part of that responsibility is electing that
Speaker 5: representative who's going to go, in this case, to Washington,
Speaker 5: d C. And bring the needs of Alabama to Washington,
Speaker 5: d C, protect the state of Alabama, the United States
Speaker 5: of America, and not bring the stupidity of Washington d
Speaker 5: C back to Alabama.
Speaker 1: And that's really what it is. Well there it is. Well, look,
Speaker 1: we're we're praying for you and love what you have
Speaker 1: already done, you know, with the platform that God's given you.
Speaker 1: And it's going to be interesting to see the journey
Speaker 1: that God's got you on now. And thank you, brother. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we're here with you. We'll walk with you, and
Speaker 1: looking forward to you coming to speak to our guys
Speaker 1: coming up in just a couple of weeks.
Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to that too.
Speaker 1: I will bring I don't know how many books you said,
Speaker 1: I'll have fifty of my books there for the first
Speaker 1: fifty that sign up. Oh really yeah, for free I'll
Speaker 1: bring Okay, okay, all right, well look at it now.
Speaker 1: So boy, if you're the first fifty getting two books, yeah,
Speaker 1: you get two books. You got that. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: free pamphlet and there's no ticket to buy. We just
Speaker 1: need to know you're coming. So find that at the
Speaker 1: Manchurch dot com under events.
Speaker 3: Rick his website. Hudson for Alabama dot Com, Hudson for
Speaker 3: Alabama dot com. Thank you, speedy, Hudson for Alabama dot Com.
Speaker 3: Let's let's get him started. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Sorry. Thanks to Jared Hudson for being with hint with
Speaker 1: us today. I told the guys I was I've gone
Speaker 1: back and forth on whether Tuberville running for governor and
Speaker 1: not being our senator. I was looking to get a
Speaker 1: piece about that, somebody like Jared Hudson saying I'll step in.
Speaker 1: I'll feel much better. Yeah for sure. So there you good.
Speaker 1: Good to visit with him again. All right, So a
Speaker 1: couple of things now that we're kind of in that vein,
Speaker 1: we'll finish a few more. So elon Musk has officially
Speaker 1: stepped down from Doze. He said, I have done my work.
Speaker 1: I've worked on streamlining the government. I have exposed the
Speaker 1: government waste. I have exposed that your federal government is
Speaker 1: literally stealing from you, the people. So and my work
Speaker 1: is done here and I hope that this becomes a
Speaker 1: normal way of life as we hold our government in
Speaker 1: their spending accountable. We have Trump who says, Okay, now
Speaker 1: that we know everything that has been exposed, are we
Speaker 1: going to do anything about it? And sadly no, shocker.
Speaker 1: A lot of those in the government said, hey, you
Speaker 1: might have busted us, but we're not changing anything. And
Speaker 1: here is Trump talking about how basically we have people
Speaker 1: in our government that are completely ignoring everything that's been
Speaker 1: exposed about them. So here is President Trump. We don't
Speaker 1: have one Democrat vote.
Speaker 6: And if I were a Democrat, I'd be voting for
Speaker 6: this bill and I'd get elected to any position I
Speaker 6: want as a Democrat. They're crazy. They're voting for a
Speaker 6: sixty five percent tax increase, and they're only doing it
Speaker 6: for hatred. They're not doing it for any reason.
Speaker 1: They know it terrible well, and that's the problem. When
Speaker 1: we the people get caught in the middle of political
Speaker 1: power seeking and they're saying, if we vote for this
Speaker 1: and it goes well, a lot of us will lose
Speaker 1: our jobs. And he said, no, I think if you
Speaker 1: vote for it, it goes well, you can actually tell
Speaker 1: your constituents that you you did what was right for America,
Speaker 1: no matter what political party was in charge or proposed
Speaker 1: the bill. Next, Oh, Governor Ron DeSantis. And I know
Speaker 1: this is long addler, but I know you cut it
Speaker 1: when you when you when you see it's from it.
Speaker 1: So he he cannot believe that there's not one dosee
Speaker 1: cut being voted on by Congress after all of us
Speaker 1: clearly saw what they were doing. He can't believe it.
Speaker 2: He's going to talk about the deficit and then pivot
Speaker 2: to the Elon Musk cut.
Speaker 7: Right here we go, brillion dollar deficit is a tax
Speaker 7: on you. Uh, it works its way through the economy.
Speaker 7: There's no free lunch, and that's what ends up happening.
Speaker 7: And it's little frustrating. You know, Elon Musk went into
Speaker 7: this doge effort. He was getting lampooned. I mean like
Speaker 7: they're firebombing his Tesla dealerships, media smearing him relentlessly. His
Speaker 7: business has suffered all this stuff because he basically said, look,
Speaker 7: we can't keep doing this, and we need to moderate
Speaker 7: and reduce the amount of money that the federal government
Speaker 7: is spending. And yet we have a Republican Congress and
Speaker 7: to this day, we're in the end of May, past
Speaker 7: Memorial Day, and not one cent in DOGE cuts have
Speaker 7: been implemented by the Congress. That's one of the reasons
Speaker 7: why we need a balanced budget amendment to the US Constitution.
Speaker 7: That's another reason why we need term limits for members
Speaker 7: of Congress.
Speaker 1: So that is perplexing. It would be one thing to
Speaker 1: find out that they're still not changing anything because we
Speaker 1: don't know. The fact that we know, and this is
Speaker 1: Republican and Democrat, the fact that we know, and they're
Speaker 1: still not responding to make the changes that we all,
Speaker 1: as the American people, have said you got to stop this,
Speaker 1: and they haven't not doing anything. Well, the arrogance of
Speaker 1: that yeah is blinding. Don't get don't get released to
Speaker 1: cracking on that cracking you okay over, yeah, struggling.
Speaker 2: Can we hear Elon Musk talk about some those wastes
Speaker 2: that he found in a yeah, yeah, this is an
Speaker 2: older clip, but it you know, kind of sums it all.
Speaker 1: The kind of stuff they're not addressing. Again, the sheer.
Speaker 4: Amount of waste importing the government, it is astonishing.
Speaker 1: It's mind blowing.
Speaker 4: Just uh we routinely encounter wastes of a billion dollars
Speaker 4: or more casually. Uh you know, for example, like the
Speaker 4: simple survey that was literally ten questions survey that you
Speaker 4: could do with survey monkey quashed about ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: Was the government was being charged almost a billion dollars
Speaker 4: for that for just a survey A billion dollars for
Speaker 4: a simple online survey do you like the National Park?
Speaker 4: And then there appears to be no feedback loop for
Speaker 4: what would be done with that survey. So the save
Speaker 4: we're just going to nothing because like gontained, I.
Speaker 1: Had money, well's been well. I think as long as
Speaker 1: we still have the opportunity, I think this is one
Speaker 1: of those things. And I think we've all been there.
Speaker 1: Have you? Have you some of you that have ever
Speaker 1: run a business or coached a team okay, something like
Speaker 1: that somewhere where you have a say on who's with
Speaker 1: you okay, and you come in and say, hey, we
Speaker 1: have seen you do this, this, and this, and these
Speaker 1: things need to change and they don't change, well you
Speaker 1: fire them. Yeah, okay. We we pointed to the thing
Speaker 1: that have to change, and then if the things change, great.
Speaker 1: But if you point to things that need to change
Speaker 1: then and they don't change them, you get rid of them,
Speaker 1: you know. And this analogy We've said a thousand times.
Speaker 1: And I told you this before. One time when I
Speaker 1: was coaching and I had a player that asked me
Speaker 1: why he didn't play more? Do you remember this? And
Speaker 1: I said, okay, well, I'm glad you asked. I'm going
Speaker 1: to actually tell you that, and I'm not out to
Speaker 1: like you heard Barkley and Saban talking about. I'm really
Speaker 1: not in the business of playing players that aren't the best.
Speaker 1: So do you remember when I put you in the
Speaker 1: game And he said yes? And you said, you remember
Speaker 1: how many times we went over and over again on
Speaker 1: the fact that you keep dropping passes that are thrown
Speaker 1: to you perfectly. Yes, And I put you in the
Speaker 1: game and you came down to the middle of the
Speaker 1: defense wide open. Do you remember that? He said yes.
Speaker 1: I said, do you remember what happened when somebody threw
Speaker 1: you a perfect pass? And he said yes. I said,
Speaker 1: you didn't catch it and it bounced around on the
Speaker 1: ground and the other team got it and scored. Do
Speaker 1: you remember that? And he said yes? And I said
Speaker 1: that's why you don't play more. If you had caught
Speaker 1: it and scored, you would play more. And so are
Speaker 1: we ever going to get to the point where we
Speaker 1: just say to these people enough and fire them. You
Speaker 1: still have the vote. I don't care if they're Republican
Speaker 1: or Democrat. If they see they know, we see this
Speaker 1: kind of waste and this kind of stealing from us
Speaker 1: our money, and if we don't fire them, then we're
Speaker 1: the chumps. It's on us because we know now and
Speaker 1: thanks to Musk and those we know specific waste, grotesque waste.
Speaker 1: And if we don't respond as the people and fire
Speaker 1: everybody who won't make those changes, then we're the chumps.
Speaker 1: We get what we deserve. Yeah, it's on us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you remember the Hey, it's my bad. That's my bad now,
Speaker 1: you know because I because I keep voting for you,
Speaker 1: that's on me.
Speaker 2: Incredibly frustrating for Ron to sandus to say Doge bought
Speaker 2: the swamp and so far the swamp has won. That
Speaker 2: is incredibly demoralizing and frustrating.
Speaker 1: We'll be back uh more of the Rick Burgess Show,
Speaker 1: so you're updated there, uh and we'll continue to run
Speaker 1: through the stories of the day, and we thank you
Speaker 1: for being with us. Some of that out there, my bread,
Speaker 1: I just did that to aggravate you, Gregor, Gregor, you ever,
Speaker 1: and I told you they cut bread out. I cut
Speaker 1: out bread. Rick lost eighty pounds cut out bread. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Just stay the heck of a lot of bread, said
Speaker 1: gets you. But I don't need enough that I go,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, uh hey bird, Hey, Birge Brandon, you're talking
Speaker 1: about tipping on today's show. That right, that was yesterday.
Speaker 1: If I sit down to dine, I leave a tip.
Speaker 1: If I just walk in to pick it up and leave,
Speaker 1: I do not leave a tip. I feel pressured. Most
Speaker 1: places want you to leave eighteen to twenty percent. That's
Speaker 1: not happening. I walked in. All you did was have
Speaker 1: my food ready for me to pick up. When I
Speaker 1: walked in. You didn't even cook it. God only asked
Speaker 1: for ten percent. You want eighteen to twenty percent for
Speaker 1: me to just pick up a bag you handed me
Speaker 1: and pay for it. I'm not sure that they're asking
Speaker 1: for an appropriate tip. Love the show, have a great day,
Speaker 1: So he says, sit down, he tips if he comes
Speaker 1: in to pick it up. He doesn't. Yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: that's a tough time. I would like to be that way.
Speaker 1: But I'll catch myself going well, and.
Speaker 3: I catch myself to it tip and because I'm thinking,
Speaker 3: you know, the cooks and everybody back, you know, and
Speaker 3: the person that's that's ringing up the order they're probably
Speaker 3: all underpaid and looking for tipsway, and so I try
Speaker 3: to give them. I try to feel like I feel
Speaker 3: led to do something, even if I'm just picking it.
Speaker 1: Up understanding point. But I'm like you, I just do
Speaker 1: it for no other reason, just to be kind, not
Speaker 1: because I think they they it's fair or is it justified?
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just do things for you just to be nice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's hard for you. Plus you'll label mes cheap, so
Speaker 1: you are cheap. Yeah that nobody. They don't. They're like
Speaker 1: you probably won't. It was thirty eight cents in a
Speaker 1: great tip. Must be nice to worth five hours a
Speaker 1: day and never have to tip.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rick, I will say, I've got uh, you know,
Speaker 2: I've been working for you guys for a long time.
Speaker 2: And when I was younger, I had a lot of
Speaker 2: friends in the service injury industry. Not as much, but
Speaker 2: I will say that I've actually ran into many people
Speaker 2: who you didn't know, you know, they knew me or
Speaker 2: anything like that a little bit bit. But many people
Speaker 2: said that you were an incredible tipper. I've had multiple
Speaker 2: people tell.
Speaker 1: Me you look at me.
Speaker 2: I'm not looking at you, you're looking at me.
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell who you were looking at at Rick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I thought that was I just want to
Speaker 2: pass out along to you.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: People notice that stuff. It's a big deal.
Speaker 1: It really is. Well and that's it's no other It's
Speaker 1: no more complicated than I know that I have been blessed. Uh,
Speaker 1: and I know that these people are hustling, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, and and I don't even do the thing
Speaker 1: of I'm not saying that I don't you know, if
Speaker 1: somebody does a poor job that I want to dress it.
Speaker 1: But a lot of times I'm like, well, this single
Speaker 1: mom or this student, they still are struggling for money
Speaker 1: even if they didn't do a very good job today.
Speaker 1: And sometimes you just do it for that no other reason.
Speaker 1: I've been blessed, and I'm passing it on and it
Speaker 1: always comes back to you. You know the other thing
Speaker 1: that also also happens with that, you get treated really
Speaker 1: really well because they appreciate it. You know, my daughter
Speaker 1: was in college, she was a waitress, and she said,
Speaker 1: normally the people who were the worst tippers were also
Speaker 1: the most needy. They would they drove you nuts who
Speaker 1: time they were in there, want stuff, needing stuff on
Speaker 1: this one, and then they wouldn't even.
Speaker 2: And then they'd round up a dollar. Yeah, thanks for
Speaker 2: the eighty sixth cents.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just like coaching. Sometimes the biggest handles his
Speaker 3: parents is the parents of the worst player.
Speaker 1: M boy, that one. You could tell that one had
Speaker 1: some real, some reality to it. You've lived that one,
Speaker 1: hadn't you. Yeah, just I'm just speaking real. Do you
Speaker 1: ever have the parent this usually applies to. This is
Speaker 1: to your major team sports which athletically, which is always player. Yeah.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: The other one that I always found that was interesting
Speaker 1: is the parent that their kid is actually playing, but
Speaker 1: they don't like the position they're playing. Yeah, ain't it something?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, your kids actually playing? Yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: I think he's a linebacker. I'm like, well, you're delusional. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a pretty good cover cornerback of how come you
Speaker 1: can't be happy with that? Plus he's ten, so let's yeah,
Speaker 1: let's give it him. Just calm down. Yeah uh, there's
Speaker 1: that mom over there whose kid didn't get to play.
Speaker 1: I bet I bet he'd play any positions sure on
Speaker 1: the field. Hey Birch, Hey Burge. I am loving the
Speaker 1: new Rick Burgess show experience. Not sure how much rain
Speaker 1: you guys have gotten over the past month a bunch,
Speaker 1: but it seems like it's been raining in Northwest Tennessee
Speaker 1: for forty days and forty nine Now, this is interesting
Speaker 1: from Josh after hearing so much about the new book.
Speaker 1: I've been finding myself going outside just to walk in
Speaker 1: the rain. I feel like I'm making up funny. I'm
Speaker 1: making up for years of running and it's like our
Speaker 1: old coach Burgess, these moments of walking. I'm walking in
Speaker 1: the rain when it's not even necessary. It's like I
Speaker 1: have to make up for the last thirty seven years
Speaker 1: of running in the rain. Is that odd? Love the show,
Speaker 1: look forward to diving into the book. Love you guys, Kenton, Tennessee. Also,
Speaker 1: did we ever figure out the Gary Turkey hunt. No,
Speaker 1: we did not know. We never got there. I mean,
Speaker 1: here's how it needs to work. You got some land
Speaker 1: you want me to come hunt on and we'll do it. Garry,
Speaker 1: that's not a giveaway, that's you winning. But anyway, Josh,
Speaker 1: there's no need to do that. I mean, if you
Speaker 1: find yourself tramped in it, and I think a lot
Speaker 1: of you, that's all this is about. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: a minute ago, Speedy was like wanting us to walk
Speaker 1: around the building and not run. And what would Dad
Speaker 1: think about that? And I think he would think that
Speaker 1: was stupid, No, that it was a challenge.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And I said, if I make this shot,
Speaker 3: then Greg, you got to walk around the building in
Speaker 3: the rain and you can't run.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 3: And I will say this, I did make it from
Speaker 3: way back here and Adler a trip around shirtless your fourth.
Speaker 2: Or fifth trial. This one's the one that was the
Speaker 2: first one for that, but this is the one that
Speaker 2: counts this time.
Speaker 1: By the way, single all this text nation, I'm a
Speaker 1: woman and now I'm walking in the rain.
Speaker 5: Dad.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like anyway, hey bird, hey birge. Uh
Speaker 1: this is from Jeremy Rick Burgess. Do not let them
Speaker 1: stop you. You die on this hill. Burgers are not
Speaker 1: supposed to be smashed. Burgers are meant to be thick
Speaker 1: and juicy, not flat and dried out and telling folks
Speaker 1: this for years, we were we are at it. Blackstone
Speaker 1: Griddle is just an oversized skillet. I've been fighting on
Speaker 1: this hill for a long time and I'm willing to
Speaker 1: die on it. Please down it with me. I'm in Jared.
Speaker 1: But you've never had a smash Burger, right, Yes, I've
Speaker 1: had him for years. They want to call that. Have
Speaker 1: you ever seen the smash bird?
Speaker 2: This new thing?
Speaker 1: Juicy? Hey burn Ja merge. Talk to me about how
Speaker 1: you guys is how do y'all measure the listening audience
Speaker 1: from digital now to terrestrial? How do you know how
Speaker 1: many people are listening and watching and engaging? How do
Speaker 1: y'all even know this? That's a great question. Well, by
Speaker 1: the way, I've been with the show since the Rick

Speaker 1: This this is the highest profile of the pardons, but
Speaker 1: they there was a number. Were they not? They find
Speaker 1: them not guilty. I don't know what you don't understand.
Speaker 1: When did we say the Christians were wrong? I know
Speaker 1: they had a rogue kid who was a drug You right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he just turned his dad in for claiming lived
Speaker 1: in one state and lived in Great Yeah that's a biggie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he really was doing it. I think that's my point.
Speaker 1: That did the drug addict son? He revealed, yeah, revealed
Speaker 1: anything they weren't doing. I don't know. But how long
Speaker 1: did they stay if they broke the law? Are we
Speaker 1: just saying you broke the law. But that's enough. The
Speaker 1: mom got released and then they threw it back in.
Speaker 1: Another judge or somebody come and said, oh, no, they
Speaker 1: did it. Yeah they had out. How many years was
Speaker 1: it did they serve two and a half? Was it

Speaker 1: never watched the I would get caught like me and
Speaker 1: Speer saying just flipping by, and they'd be an episode
Speaker 1: on and I would stay on it. It was a
Speaker 1: good show. Well I get again. Maybe I'm sorry. I'm
Speaker 1: really funny. I'm willing to say that I'm wrong. You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes when you see like a Trump or somebody pardon somebody,
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, that's right, that that finally that injustice
Speaker 1: was over, was what finally got justice for them? Good
Speaker 1: for them. I don't I don't know what to say
Speaker 1: about this. Am I supposed to be celebrating the release
Speaker 1: of the Christalis. Does this fall under? And look, I
Speaker 1: was kind of like them and they've always supported me.
Speaker 1: And I'm letting you out because maybe the crown they
Speaker 1: did was not violent, right, It's it's I don't know
Speaker 1: where I am on this. I don't know what to
Speaker 1: do with it. I don't either. I mean, it's a
Speaker 1: headline and I'm supposed to go good for the Chrystalies.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know anything about the Christlies.
Speaker 1: And like I said, they they've appealed it and kept losing.
Speaker 1: But I don't know.
Speaker 2: I bet y'all Trump was just a fan of the show.
Speaker 2: He knows their cultural figures, just like he pardoned or
Speaker 2: helped out that ASoP rocky rapper guy. He just does
Speaker 2: it for the culture, you know.
Speaker 1: And their one final question on bitcoin, and I promise
Speaker 1: we'll leave this time. Somebody says they can ever get
Speaker 1: this question answered. I have one bitcoin, it's worth one
Speaker 1: hundred and seven thousand dollars. Where do I go to
Speaker 1: get my one hundred and seven thousand dollars?
Speaker 4: On?
Speaker 2: Wherever you bought it, wherever wallet you're holding it. There's
Speaker 2: all kinds of different apps or wallets, whatever you want.
Speaker 1: To call it.
Speaker 2: But there is like quote unquote true believers that say,
Speaker 2: never get rid of it, just hold on to it.
Speaker 2: It will keep growing. Eventually bitcoin will be the currency
Speaker 2: we're all using and the global currency and the instant
Speaker 2: potentially anonymous, decentralized currency of the future. And then some
Speaker 2: people are like, no, it's a scam Okay, thank you
Speaker 2: edwar Wow.
Speaker 1: So when you say wallet, is that a version of
Speaker 1: a bank? Yeah? Like when you say and wherever your wallet,
Speaker 1: is it like Apple wallet?

Speaker 2: and have it literally on a USB stick. You can have,
Speaker 2: you can have you can have a billion dollars on
Speaker 2: a USB stick and hold that information. You lose that stick,
Speaker 2: it's gone somebody else. Somebody threw through like a hard
Speaker 2: drive away that had bitcoin on it, and there could
Speaker 2: be a billion dollars in a landfill somewhere and they

Speaker 1: this thing we saw we played some of the other day.
Speaker 1: People were sending us stuff. Run it straight. This game
Speaker 1: where it's basically oh yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like eye
Speaker 1: openers where you just line up all and we have
Speaker 1: no pads on and we run at each other wide
Speaker 1: open yeah, and people getting knocked out.

Speaker 2: None of this footage has the person dying. The person
Speaker 2: that died. This was not like a formal event. This
Speaker 2: was like an informal event.

Speaker 1: neck broke? Of course, get your get your brain bleed,
Speaker 1: which is probably how the team died. I'm guessing it's
Speaker 1: just it's like I mean, what's the payoff here? I
Speaker 1: know it's like Nick and the Fray. They don't get
Speaker 1: paid much. Yeah, you know what, what are you really winning?
