Speaker 3: Got it was one hundredth day.
Speaker 1: It was we had to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it was a celebration.
Speaker 1: It was so we had to.
Speaker 3: That's awesome.
Speaker 1: So we will we will see what We'll see what
Speaker 1: happens today. A couple of things, Greg, I want to
Speaker 1: ask you something because you know you may be a
Speaker 1: lot of you there may be aware that Greg worked
Speaker 1: for twenty plus years twenty three years with the Alabama
Speaker 1: Power Company, part of the Southern Company, so he knows
Speaker 1: a thing or two. And I know all of you
Speaker 1: are the same way. So much of our country. It's
Speaker 1: not everybody, but so much of the country. We're in
Speaker 1: a weather pattern. This spring is just featuring lots of
Speaker 1: rain because we've had some droughts, so I'm sure that's good.
Speaker 1: Lots of rain and just pop up thunderstorms and then
Speaker 1: some of these things, unfortunately have led to tornadoes and
Speaker 1: all that. But a thunderstorm is pretty much part of
Speaker 1: your day right now. Oh yeah, at some part, at
Speaker 1: some point, and and but but then the big thing is,
Speaker 1: you know you got straight line wins and you have
Speaker 1: all this and we know a lot of you. Let
Speaker 1: me go ahead and say this, this is nothing. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna ask Greg's opinion what some of y'all have
Speaker 1: been through and the death and devastation. This is not
Speaker 1: I'm not even remotely equating that with this. I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to get Greg to kind of I'm interested because
Speaker 1: it wasn't any big deal. But it is weird when
Speaker 1: you lose power. How you're so accustomed to having power
Speaker 1: you can't make yourself realize there is no power, and
Speaker 1: you can't realize looking how many things are tied to
Speaker 1: your power, And like I can't tell you. I got
Speaker 1: some mad at myself Sunday morning because our power went
Speaker 1: out in the middle of the night on Saturday night
Speaker 1: or in the wee hours of Sunday morning. I bet
Speaker 1: I walked into my closet and tried to flip the
Speaker 1: light on. Oh a thousand and I just stopped the bathroom.
Speaker 1: You're going right, So, so anyway, I want to ask
Speaker 1: I want to ask you this question because you may
Speaker 1: know who and no, it's interesting and it's fine. So
Speaker 1: you know how your security alarm will let you know
Speaker 1: if your power went out. Hey, just so you know,
Speaker 1: we got no power. We're not getting anything. Okay, good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So so it woke me up. It was two thirty
Speaker 1: I think am in the morning, going into Sunday morning.
Speaker 1: And of course you know Sherry and I lead a
Speaker 1: Sunday school class. I'm teaching that day all that, you know,
Speaker 1: women getting ready for church, all that, and so so
Speaker 1: it looks and it says, hey, we already know about it.
Speaker 5: You know, they send you the text.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're on it, probably back on in a couple hours.
Speaker 5: I thought, well, by the time, we're not even.
Speaker 1: Going to be awake yet because we don't get up
Speaker 1: as early, as we do in workdays, and I said,
Speaker 1: this is not big deal. Let's just go back to sleep.
Speaker 1: We were thankfully where we live it wasn't all that hot.
Speaker 1: You know, it hasn't gotten that hot. Really.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's humid, but it's not all that hot.
Speaker 1: So the house really never got stuffy, and I thought, well,
Speaker 1: we're fine, and so we we get up. Now, first
Speaker 1: of all, I panic my wife completely. We're supposed to
Speaker 1: be at Sunday school at nine am and then our
Speaker 1: Sun's shop class starts at nine point fifteen.
Speaker 5: Okay, well, I.
Speaker 1: Don't have my glasses on, and when I wake up,
Speaker 1: I realized the power never came back home. So I'll
Speaker 1: go over to my phone and I look down and
Speaker 1: I don't have my glasses on, and I think it
Speaker 1: says eight twenty seven. Yeah. I don't know how I
Speaker 1: thought I could have ever slept eight twenty seven without
Speaker 1: wake it up one more time or anything like that.
Speaker 1: And I holler out it's a twenty seven, and she's
Speaker 1: like what, And she comes up out of the bed
Speaker 1: and we just start scrambling, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: my eyes kind of clear. I so, oh, stop, six
Speaker 1: twenty seven. I'm sorry, slow, I'm sorry. That's a man sleep,
Speaker 1: that's a six sleep. Sorry, that's all mad.
Speaker 3: She's a blurry six.
Speaker 1: She's all made. She's like, wow, So well we're waking
Speaker 1: down and I said, well, we probably need to get
Speaker 1: up anyway. Yeah, so we went that. So we had
Speaker 1: no power, and we went through the whole thing of
Speaker 1: trying to trying to get ready with no power, which
Speaker 1: is not that big a deal except for beard dryers
Speaker 1: for women. She he says, I guess I'm not coloring
Speaker 1: my hair to day. I said, wasn't not like I don't.
Speaker 1: You don't need to get that curdel now, iron I.
Speaker 1: Let's just have it wild on the top of your head, right,
Speaker 1: And then she then they had to put their makeup
Speaker 1: on near a window where light's coming in.
Speaker 5: You know, because the bathroom doesn't have.
Speaker 2: Any fight and uh, but the showers in the darker.
Speaker 2: Weird it is.
Speaker 3: It's just weird.
Speaker 1: It's weird. So so here's here's here's my question to you.
Speaker 1: So we're we get ready, we're coming out of the
Speaker 1: driveway and okay, they now say, we've reassessed it's going
Speaker 1: to take long. We thought as we come out, sure, goes, well,
Speaker 1: there's the problem. So I looked to my left. Because
Speaker 1: we didn't have a big storm overnight or anything like that,
Speaker 1: because I'm sure there was wind. There was always win
Speaker 1: And I noticed that sometimes the power company will come
Speaker 1: through when they think your power pos have gotten old
Speaker 1: and they're replacing with new ones or for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: y'all whatever, Well, they had left an old pole, just
Speaker 1: left it. Well, that old pole is what got pushed down,
Speaker 1: and it just takes the lines and comes to the ground,
Speaker 1: and and and it's late.
Speaker 3: How would it be tall enough to do that?
Speaker 1: It still was. It wasn't as tall as the others,
Speaker 1: but it caught like a bottom wonder it caught line
Speaker 1: you're saying it kind of fell. It fell, fell and
Speaker 1: caught some of the lines. It didn't catch all of them,
Speaker 1: So I don't know if that was I guess it
Speaker 1: was the power I break the pole.
Speaker 5: I'm talking about the good one.
Speaker 1: No, But then there had to be more to it,
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. They drug it all the way
Speaker 1: to the ground and was laying on top of it.
Speaker 1: Greg still connected Greg, but like almost like you would
Speaker 1: be bouncing on it. Took it out.
Speaker 5: Could have very easily been telephoned and cable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well how come, but the power was no, no,
Speaker 1: because of what I'm talking about. So then he said,
Speaker 1: So then they go, what now your problem? Now that
Speaker 1: we've sent trouble man out, you, I guess used to
Speaker 1: be and we realize we need more resources. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you're something else besides you're but that thing blocked the
Speaker 1: road and watching people try to turn around. Hey, can
Speaker 1: I tell everybody who was trying to turn around? Because
Speaker 1: my house was the last house you go by before
Speaker 1: you realize you can't get down the road. Hey, folks,
Speaker 1: I got a circle driveway. Just run through the circle
Speaker 1: and go out the other side. The attempts to turn
Speaker 1: around in the road, of course some of them. Rod
Speaker 1: ran over one of the sprinkler heads and destroyed it.
Speaker 1: People people getting in there with the grass is wet
Speaker 1: and everybody's getting your house? Was the turn around? I
Speaker 1: was the turnaround. Hey, it's a circle driveway. Just come
Speaker 1: through it the other side. Just come through the other side.
Speaker 1: Some of the attempts to turn around were the most
Speaker 1: outlandish attempts I've ever seen. And uh, but what do
Speaker 1: you what did the pole? What was the issue? Because
Speaker 1: when I finally got back from church. Beyond the pole
Speaker 1: they put they put like, yeah, like somebody had been murdered.
Speaker 1: They put one of those across the road. Then they
Speaker 1: put a bunch of comans. The other ones too besides
Speaker 1: that one, and then beyond that. Now there's three four
Speaker 1: big trucks have pulled up to where the line is
Speaker 1: where this is still laying in the road. But now
Speaker 1: to your point, I'm we go get home, and I'm
Speaker 1: we go out there and we're just kind of hanging
Speaker 1: out the pool. Well, of course, even the pump has
Speaker 1: has to have electricity. So as we're out there, all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, i'm out there of the pump, I
Speaker 1: hear water come down the slide us up. Power's back,
Speaker 1: so I look up. But then when I go up
Speaker 1: the driveway, all the power company people are gone, but
Speaker 1: the thing's still laying in the road. And now there's
Speaker 1: a spectrum called truck pulled up block airs. So do
Speaker 1: you think this is the cable? So yeah, so.
Speaker 5: That pole was nothing because it didn't pull everything to
Speaker 5: the ground.
Speaker 1: I don't think they probably just pulled the fiber and
Speaker 1: maybe something like that. What they do when you go
Speaker 1: on set a new pole besides the old pole for
Speaker 1: clearance or whatever reason. You transfer everything up on that
Speaker 1: and then we would cut it down below the neutral
Speaker 1: and then tie it off because cable and telephone now
Speaker 1: they got to come move theirs. Some of those will
Speaker 1: sit there for years so they won't get moved. So
Speaker 1: the one that got pushed down I guess by the
Speaker 1: wind after it got so saturated, and we probably did
Speaker 1: it hit the bottom stuff whatever the bottom stuff.
Speaker 5: Is, because they pulled the other one always. Yeah, that
Speaker 5: was telephone or cable.
Speaker 1: That's why spectrum was out there, But there must have
Speaker 1: been somewhere else on down was where the major one. Well,
Speaker 1: they pulled right up to where it fell and they
Speaker 1: started working beyond it, just beyond it. But they closed
Speaker 1: the road off. And that was out that long. That
Speaker 1: sounds like it was. It was out thirteen hours. M Yeah,
Speaker 1: But I think what you saw it was just one
Speaker 1: of them opos that where they had either telephone had
Speaker 1: hadn't transferred off of it yet or they were going
Speaker 1: to or they have. I seen them sit there for years.
Speaker 1: The two blocked us.
Speaker 4: This is the Rick Bridgers show.
Speaker 5: Over the new book.
Speaker 1: And speaking of legends and icons, Phil Robertson went on
Speaker 1: in over the weekend and us, as we say, uh,
Speaker 1: in the culture we grew up in, you heard about
Speaker 1: having oldfield.
Speaker 5: And now he went on in. Yeah, he went on in.
Speaker 1: And boy, I tell you what a what a man
Speaker 1: we were, you know, discussing that. Sherry and I sat
Speaker 1: down and I put something out on the story on
Speaker 1: Instagram because the first thing that hit my mind when
Speaker 1: I heard this, the very first thing, was filled standing
Speaker 1: before our Lord Jesus that he revered and served so
Speaker 1: well and hearing well done, my good and faithful servant,
Speaker 1: because he was faithful and he was unapologetic about what
Speaker 1: he believed, but he was also gracious and kind to
Speaker 1: those who didn't believe what we believed. He stood on
Speaker 1: the principles, but he was always willing to talk to
Speaker 1: you about the grace that God was willing to give
Speaker 1: to anyone who would repent, and he'd take you out
Speaker 1: there in the lake and he baptized you.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: So he definitely got a well done. But you know
Speaker 1: when people like that just thought we were talking about
Speaker 1: with dad, you know, when when these men passed seventy
Speaker 1: nine years old, so it was a little younger than Dad.
Speaker 1: But Alzheimer's it's a tough thing. Greg and I and
Speaker 1: all of us were discussing. You know, honestly, he went
Speaker 1: pretty quick after they publicly told us he had Alzheimer's.
Speaker 1: And it's possible that they may have had some years
Speaker 1: that they didn't talk about it much publicly, so that
Speaker 1: may be. But you were also saying, there's a form
Speaker 1: of Alzheimer's that seems to shorten your life quicker than
Speaker 1: different different kinds. I don't know what kind he had,
Speaker 1: but you know Dad was ten years with it, right,
Speaker 1: I think when we figured around ten years. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe a little less but somewhere in there.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then, like I saying, the whole he wasn't to
Speaker 1: the bad part, just showing signs. Yeah. Now when you
Speaker 1: think about Dad's body, you know, he ultimately his life
Speaker 1: ended on earth because he actually fell in a memory
Speaker 1: care facility and had, you know, a brain bleed, so
Speaker 1: that how much longer Dad's body would have carry on?
Speaker 1: Who who knows he was still walking around find yeah
Speaker 1: he was, but h So anyway, the but it's a
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a terrible thing to see.
Speaker 1: And but Phil robertson what what a celebration of a life?
Speaker 1: And you guys had to know. We had him on
Speaker 1: the show back in the Rick and Bubba days. You know,
Speaker 1: I got to do some stuff with them on on
Speaker 1: some of their podcast and and uh and all that.
Speaker 1: But you guys got to sit down and and be
Speaker 1: and I got to go and do some events with Phil.
Speaker 1: But you can this this thing with you guys interviewed
Speaker 1: him was one of my favorite stories.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know Rock the South of
Speaker 3: the outdoor concert festival that we've what we've we've done,
Speaker 3: I guess on air stuff with them for years and
Speaker 3: it's it's known around the country is one of the
Speaker 3: biggest outdoor uh festivals there that there is. He was
Speaker 3: there with one of his sons, Alan and Uh. We
Speaker 3: were tasked with doing an interview with them on stage
Speaker 3: in front of the whole crowd. But but all you
Speaker 3: went on stage, all you saw were people for as
Speaker 3: far as you could sey.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're sitting couches. Yeah ye if y'all not
Speaker 1: big on shoes, no, Now, we went in his trailer
Speaker 1: and he was in there in his bare feet kick back.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And one thing I remember we've discussed it is. We
Speaker 1: were briefed before we got to go on the trailer
Speaker 1: and then plus on stage.
Speaker 5: Yeah, or even you.
Speaker 1: Know when you he said, don't ask him because this
Speaker 1: is when the GQ article had come out.
Speaker 5: Y'all, don't bring.
Speaker 1: That up or see we walk in the first thing
Speaker 1: he says, as he's barefooted. Y'all asked me anything he
Speaker 1: brought it. He goes, doesn't make a thing called Gentlemen's Quarterly.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what that was, and he gave us
Speaker 1: the whole story. I mean, we couldn't ask him.
Speaker 3: About Greg and Greg and I looked over each other, like,
Speaker 3: well all that, all those prep in meetings on what
Speaker 3: we couldn't do. I guess that's out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, uh.
Speaker 3: But it was really really cool to see him kind
Speaker 3: of laid back and just you know, out and it
Speaker 3: was really and he was always such a pleasure to
Speaker 3: be around and always so kind.
Speaker 2: And that was at the height of the Duck dynasty mania.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, y'all interviewed him and like that article had
Speaker 2: just come out. Yeah, y'all remember, he wanted to kick
Speaker 2: it off early, Like his little interviewed. He was like,
Speaker 2: I'm ready let's go oh yeah, and the big guy
Speaker 2: didn't know that, and so a lot of times in
Speaker 2: between the acts, like the crowd would go, you know, whatever,
Speaker 2: get a hot dog or whatever, you know, and he
Speaker 2: starts early. He gets on stage, and I actually wasn't
Speaker 2: ready either, So I, along with the entire crowd, were
Speaker 2: running back to the stage. And the crowd went from
Speaker 2: like I don't know, a couple thousand to like ten thousand. Wow,
Speaker 2: at least like at least ten thousand people rushing back
Speaker 2: to this stage to watch a Q and A with
Speaker 2: Greg Burgess and Speedy on the couch with Phil.
Speaker 3: It was amazing, but it was kind of neat because
Speaker 3: you know, when you're interviewing someone, you kind of want
Speaker 3: to know where they want to go. And to Greg's point,
Speaker 3: He's like, ask me anything whatever, and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: so we're going on stage with whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well he was. He wasn't afraid of stage with whatever,
Speaker 1: no restrictions. When uh, well, we may have talked, oh come,
Speaker 1: I'll hit one more thing. Have you ever heard the
Speaker 1: guys talk about the story? And I think we may
Speaker 1: have shared it on the show back then, but today
Speaker 1: it's a good time to do it again when they
Speaker 1: first started doing Dynasty and the A and E people
Speaker 1: were there when he when he asked the blessing.
Speaker 5: For the food. Have you heard about this?
Speaker 3: I don't know that I have.
Speaker 1: I think we may have talked about it, but it
Speaker 1: was hilarious and the response of the A and the people,
Speaker 1: They're like, Okay, why don't we try one more? But
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about that. But that was classic, classic
Speaker 1: Fiel because he was fearless when it came to the faith.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, stay close, okay. So we talked
Speaker 1: about it a little bit on the show Friday. You know,
Speaker 1: my hearing is not what it once was. I'm not
Speaker 1: to the point of needing a hearing aid yet. I
Speaker 1: hope maybe I can avoid that. But if I do,
Speaker 1: I've already been through this with family members. I know
Speaker 1: where to go, and that's MD hearing. So many of
Speaker 1: you have responded to this, and it's a game changer
Speaker 1: when you have loved ones that where their hearing starts
Speaker 1: to go away to the point that they need a
Speaker 1: hearing aid. Many times, if you'll notice, you kind of
Speaker 1: start losing them in the family if they're not engaged
Speaker 1: because they can't hear what everybody's saying and get them
Speaker 1: back engaged by getting them a hearing aid. Then you're saying, well,
Speaker 1: we'd love to Rick, But have you seen the price
Speaker 1: of a hearing aid? Yes, but that was before MD Hearing.
Speaker 1: MD Hearing changed the entire industry by giving you hearing
Speaker 1: aids that are very, very affordable, over ninety percent less
Speaker 1: than clinic hearing aids, the Neo, which is fantastic. If
Speaker 1: it's inside your ear, no one will even though it's there. Plus,
Speaker 1: MD Hearing just launched the Knee S, the smallest hearing
Speaker 1: aid ever. Now we're gonna get you a pair for
Speaker 1: ninety seven. All you have to do is go to
Speaker 1: use this website. Okay, are you ready? Shop md hearing

Speaker 1: go right now to shopmdhearing dot com use the promo
Speaker 1: code Rick Okay, so we are remembering Phil Robertson. So
Speaker 1: I sent Adler this. This is when Tucker Carlson was
Speaker 1: interviewing Willie Robertson. And you remember, as Adler just pointed out,
Speaker 1: I mean there was the Duck dynasty heyday when they
Speaker 1: were they were huge, and they still are, but there
Speaker 1: was one time when it was why, I mean, they
Speaker 1: everybody knew who they were.
Speaker 5: Aren't they rebooting?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I heard that next generation or something, Yeah, something
Speaker 1: like that. But here's Willie Robertson. You remember we always
Speaker 1: he would all Phil worked in his faith, even on
Speaker 1: A and E. And of course remember when A and
Speaker 1: E thought they would get rid of him because of
Speaker 1: the gqu article and Cracker Barrel was going to take
Speaker 1: this step would so stupid, And there were so many
Speaker 1: people that supported what a strange concept. There were people
Speaker 1: that supported them to the level that A and E
Speaker 1: kept them, and Cracker Barrow said, we changed our mind.
Speaker 1: But the first time that they ever filmed Phil Robertson
Speaker 1: giving the blessing and praying over the food, this happened,
Speaker 1: and here's Willie Robertson telling Tucker Carlson, here we go.
Speaker 6: Thing that ever happened dug nasty that never got shown.
Speaker 6: So we had this dinner scene every time, you know.
Speaker 6: So we're setting all the table up and it's a
Speaker 6: little young producers like, okay, mister Phil, you'll pray action.
Speaker 6: So we bow our heads, and Phil said, I pray
Speaker 6: for these bunch of heathens from Los Angeles, California, with
Speaker 6: their latte coffees and their filthy language. I pray you
Speaker 6: don't burn them all in hell for their sinfulness.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 6: We were fiping so hard because none of us knew
Speaker 6: that was coming. None of us realize and so we
Speaker 6: all look over and we're just like, look, what was that?
Speaker 6: And this this young produce he never missed a me.
Speaker 6: He was like, thank you, mister Phil.
Speaker 2: Now can we do another prayer that we.
Speaker 3: Can actually put on televison.
Speaker 1: Lord, pray for these heathens from Los Angeles, the Ltte
Speaker 1: coffees in their filthy language. You don't burn them all
Speaker 1: in hell.
Speaker 3: That was him.
Speaker 1: A lot of you are texting and emailing about Babylon B,
Speaker 1: Babylon B, you know, and I think Phil would love this.
Speaker 1: They put out something about the death of Phil. Robertson says,
Speaker 1: oh no, Phil Robertson greeted it heaven by twelve million
Speaker 1: angry ducks, and it shows him running from DUTs at
Speaker 1: the Golden Gate at the Golden on the Golden streets
Speaker 1: with the pearly gates behind him. So anyway, great man,
Speaker 1: great legacy. And you know the few times that and
Speaker 1: I got to see him preach more than once. Of
Speaker 1: course he was always preaching, but more than once, and
Speaker 1: every time we had him on the show back in
Speaker 1: the Rick and Bubba days, it was always huge. Everybody
Speaker 1: loved it. But I was at an event and I
Speaker 1: will tell you this it was and now this is
Speaker 1: this is quite a compliment, even though the difference is
Speaker 1: we never saw John the Baptist have the testimony that
Speaker 1: Phil Robertson had. But once Phil was redeemed, and as
Speaker 1: Jesus told us, those of us and I would include
Speaker 1: myself on that that have an incredible debt that we owed.
Speaker 1: You know, if somebody forgives you for ten dollars, you
Speaker 1: owe them, I mean, you're thankful. But if somebody forgives
Speaker 1: you for millions of dollars that you owe them, you're grateful.
Speaker 1: And those of us that have been forgiven of horrible
Speaker 1: amounts of sin. We tend to once we've been redeemed,
Speaker 1: you know, we're awful grateful. And Phil Robertson certainly was.
Speaker 1: But he reminded me of the things you read about
Speaker 1: John the Baptist. I mean, he literally always looked like
Speaker 1: he walked right out of the wilderness. He had a
Speaker 1: Bible that was gigantic, and it was tattered, and it
Speaker 1: had notes in it and things that he was inspired by,
Speaker 1: and he would just walk in I'm talking about you
Speaker 1: bit a banquet. That's what I saw, like a fundraiser
Speaker 1: or something, and I forget what organization it was, and
Speaker 1: everybody was dressed, you know, suits, and all I did
Speaker 1: was just introduce him that night. He still had his
Speaker 1: camo on and whatever, and he just took that huge
Speaker 1: Bible and just walks up and just goes wamn it,
Speaker 1: just puts it on the podium and he just starts
Speaker 1: talking about the Bible. And then when he's done, he
Speaker 1: just takes it and shuts.
Speaker 5: It and then just walks off.
Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't go back to a seat. Done
Speaker 1: is all right, I'm out, and uh, I'm gonna leave
Speaker 1: it with you. And it was it was always a
Speaker 1: powerful thing to see. So he was really something.
Speaker 3: You've talked about it. And it's just known that men
Speaker 3: have such a tough time on finishing well. So many
Speaker 3: latent lives they just they just throw it all away
Speaker 3: or do something, and they just remembered for that last big,
Speaker 3: huge mistake and they didn't finish well. But he finished
Speaker 3: well well.
Speaker 1: He finished so well that you have to be told
Speaker 1: about the man he was prior to his encounter with Jesus,
Speaker 1: because the man after Jesus became so much more impactful
Speaker 1: that you you almost can't believe the man he once was.
Speaker 1: And that's why it's supposed to be. That's transformation, yep.
Speaker 1: And as we have said many times, if we haven't
Speaker 1: been transformed by redemption, if if we haven't been transformed
Speaker 1: by Jesus, Jesus is not the problem because he is
Speaker 1: in the transformation business, and the power that is available
Speaker 1: in him transforms all who abide in him, no doubt,
Speaker 1: and he was a great example of that. It was
Speaker 1: just it was an incredible run. And I know that
Speaker 1: when you see people who love the Lord as much
Speaker 1: as him, I just I just think about what it's
Speaker 1: like when they're finally standing in his presence, you know,
Speaker 1: and all this Alzheimer's mess and all the problems of
Speaker 1: the falling creation and our falling bodies have gone away.
Speaker 1: And like even the Apostle Paul said, is as much
Speaker 1: as we can with our finite minds, as much as
Speaker 1: we try. And I don't think anybody was pressing on
Speaker 1: and straining any harder than the Apostle Paul to know
Speaker 1: everything you could possibly know about the Lord that had
Speaker 1: transformed his life. And even he said, but even on
Speaker 1: my best day, I still can only see it cloudy
Speaker 1: because of the.
Speaker 5: I have limits right now.
Speaker 1: But one day, one day, when all this is away,
Speaker 1: it won't be dim to me anymore. I'll see him
Speaker 1: clearly and I'll completely see it and experience it all.
Speaker 1: And and boy, when when you think about when that
Speaker 1: day comes, that's a you know, like like Phil always preach,
Speaker 1: it's either going to be a day that you run
Speaker 1: to or it's going to be a day that you
Speaker 1: cower in fear and say, h oh, I mean one
Speaker 1: or the other. Yeah, what do you used to say, Greg,
Speaker 1: Turn or burn? Turn? Burn? I think that, yeah, you
Speaker 1: gotta turn or you're gonna burn. The one thing I
Speaker 1: love what time I saw when he would do little
Speaker 1: things like that. I always find it interesting that people
Speaker 1: don't believe that Jesus ever walked this earth. They're keeping
Speaker 1: time by him. Your time is based on a man
Speaker 1: you don't even believe in a lot of it's a
Speaker 1: pretty common sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I remember the first time somebody told me about their
Speaker 3: show and I'm like, what what are you talking about?
Speaker 3: That Like, oh, no, you need to check this out.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, And that's that's back in the early time
Speaker 3: when they were all just sitting around at their desks
Speaker 3: and they're all making them, making the calls, shooting the bowl.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: I was like, wow, this is something else.
Speaker 1: Who was the guy we had on that was on
Speaker 1: there to probably like yeah, remember him? And he got
Speaker 1: I got to make.
Speaker 2: Fun of him talking about Mountain Man.
Speaker 1: Is that what he went by?
Speaker 4: Yes, yep, he is the Rick Burgess Show.
Speaker 1: I keep warning, I keep warning. I know things are
Speaker 1: going well. Have you seen the stock market today? Looks good.
Speaker 1: I know we're winning, I got it, but there's still
Speaker 1: a lot out there. And if you think the left
Speaker 1: is just going to give up of trying to turn
Speaker 1: this country into what they want they're not going to
Speaker 1: give up. And what do you need? You got to
Speaker 1: have information. Blaze TV is worth every single penny. We're
Speaker 1: talking about eight dollars a month for you to have
Speaker 1: access on demand to true and best negative journalism, own
Speaker 1: demand documentaries that put a little light in the darkness
Speaker 1: of the deep state. You have true journalism, you got
Speaker 1: the real information, you've got people looking out making sure
Speaker 1: the government doesn't overstep, and you can get it on
Speaker 1: your time to any device. At eight dollars a month.
Speaker 1: Blaze TV now more valuable than ever. Yes, there's some
Speaker 1: burds show stuff there. Yes, we've got a new podcast there,
Speaker 1: Strange Encounters. It's all there right now. We're going to
Speaker 1: get to twenty bucks off the annual plan for Blaze
Speaker 1: TV if you go to BlazeTV dot com, slash Rick,
Speaker 1: BlazeTV dot com, slash Rick, Blaze TV, Unfiltered, Unafraid and
Speaker 1: on demand. All right, So a couple things that we
Speaker 1: need to run down two. First of all, dealing with
Speaker 1: the war in Ukraine. It looks like that Putin has
Speaker 1: has gone to little bonkers right now. You know, he's
Speaker 1: getting funded by China pretty good. And boy, they're cranking
Speaker 1: out the drones. Now they say that they're now like
Speaker 1: they've they've financed Putin where he can crank out hundreds
Speaker 1: of drones a day. At one time, I think they
Speaker 1: were saying it would take him a month to do
Speaker 1: one hundred. Now they're cranking out maybe three hundred a day,
Speaker 1: something like that. I don't know if that's true or not.
Speaker 1: They've had a drone attack on Ukraine. They've killed some
Speaker 1: more people and launched that and now even Trump is going, hey, Putin,
Speaker 1: he's uh, he's out of control right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Puutine I knew I could, I could somewhat
Speaker 3: communicate with him. Now he's he's kind.
Speaker 1: Of lost it a little bit. So he's he's defying
Speaker 1: Trump now and and continues he refuses to stop with
Speaker 1: what's going on in Ukraine. So that that is a
Speaker 1: big story today.
Speaker 3: You know, in the drones, they're saying that that North Korea, China,
Speaker 3: and Iran are really helping him, all three of them, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: push those drones out.
Speaker 1: So of course that has that feel of world war.
Speaker 1: But uh, but anyway, we'll we'll see where that goes.
Speaker 1: But that isn't up day today. Three more have been
Speaker 1: captured from the fugitives FuG fugitives ricks but it out
Speaker 1: there would chuck that. All escaped from the New Orleans
Speaker 1: uh jail. So ten of them got out, and now
Speaker 1: eight of them have been brought back. Two still out,
Speaker 1: two remain. I wonder what the two are doing that
Speaker 1: the other eight did not do. Uh yeah, they had
Speaker 1: a little better plan, it doesn't It doesn't look like
Speaker 1: that the two have much hope the way they're bringing
Speaker 1: them in. But there's still two out there. So eight
Speaker 1: of the ten have now been brought in from the
Speaker 1: original escapees. So we've captured everybody, it looks like except
Speaker 1: for and and Tone and Tone.
Speaker 2: Massy and Antoine and is.
Speaker 1: It Antwine Antoine t Massy And then it looks like
Speaker 1: Derek Groves still at large. Everybody else has been brought
Speaker 1: back in. Look out for Antoine and Derek. They're still
Speaker 1: out there. Antoine greg is surprising because he's the one
Speaker 1: that we thought would have the toughest time hiding because
Speaker 1: Antoine's got that stuff all over his face. Oh he's
Speaker 1: the one with all that again today's world, he can
Speaker 1: blend a lot of face tattoo. Yeah yeah, And they
Speaker 1: said one time that I believe that they you know,
Speaker 1: you look out and you see him. If he's blending
Speaker 1: in now with these face tattoos, you know, you just
Speaker 1: never I mean, you're right, maybe not. They arrested jelly
Speaker 1: Row and realized who it was. I'm sorry, you were
Speaker 1: looking at you, Yes, And they got post malone and
Speaker 1: put him in.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, they said that they missed him. He was
Speaker 1: standing between jelly Row and Post. He just kind of
Speaker 1: blended in. Are they still saying that the inside job
Speaker 1: there's paper in trouble. Sure.
Speaker 3: I think there was one arrested and maintenance work I forget, yeah,
Speaker 3: away from last week. It was someone. Yeah, that that
Speaker 3: they have got into the bottom of it.
Speaker 2: They've arrested three people, by the way that are accused
Speaker 2: of assisting these escapees, including one of the Grandma's excuse me,
Speaker 2: grandmother of escape New Orleans inmate arrested. They arrested Connie
Speaker 2: Weed in fifty nine. She's accused of helping Jermaine Donald,
Speaker 2: who's still on the run at the time of this article.
Speaker 2: I think he's been captured at this point. She sent
Speaker 2: him cash on a on a cell phone app. They
Speaker 2: don't like it when you do that, they don't like it.
Speaker 2: That's a felony.
Speaker 1: So there we go. So Antwine and Derek still out there.
Speaker 1: Everybody else has been brought back in and like Adlers
Speaker 1: said and Speedy said, and people who helped him, everybody's
Speaker 1: in trouble.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they'll get to him.
Speaker 5: Look, you can't. You can't help people escape.
Speaker 2: You're not to do that that.
Speaker 3: They want you to keep them in because you know,
Speaker 3: I guess if you're looking for them, you start with relatives,
Speaker 3: people they know, and because I guess you would think, hey,
Speaker 3: they're going to contact somebody they know for help. Maybe
Speaker 3: these two remaining have not done that.
Speaker 1: Is it true? And this was early in the story
Speaker 1: that they got one back quick because he was posing
Speaker 1: on Facebook with like.
Speaker 3: That's gonna get you called buddy he went out today?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, either that or are they returned to gangs
Speaker 3: and they're kind of keeping them that's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, who knows. They could be. Also some some other
Speaker 1: things going on as far as world news today as
Speaker 1: you're getting getting started, So German, Germany's chancellor has said
Speaker 1: that they have ended weapons range limits for Ukraine, despite
Speaker 1: the Russians continuing to you know, rattle the old nuclear saber.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: They're saying that they're going to do no limits as
Speaker 1: far as range with the weapons they are providing for Ukraine,
Speaker 1: so that that's going to stir up a little bit.
Speaker 1: And then Trump UH is UH is going to gamble
Speaker 1: and trying to normalize relations with Syria in the face
Speaker 1: of Iran.
Speaker 4: UH.
Speaker 1: He's calling this a high risk, high rewar ward attempt.
Speaker 1: So Syria is a mess. Trump has said that, but
Speaker 1: but now he's kind of changing. At one time said
Speaker 1: we should have nothing to do with it. Now he's thinking,
Speaker 1: because of all the issues with Iran and their influence
Speaker 1: that may be trying to normalize relations with Syria might
Speaker 1: turn out to be something good for the country as
Speaker 1: far as that ongoing conflict.
Speaker 5: But again, high risk, high reward.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And the one of the bigger stories that's gone viral
Speaker 3: the French president they him and the French First Lady
Speaker 3: were visiting Vietnam over the weekend, and viral video of
Speaker 3: I guess it looks like the first lady hand pushing
Speaker 3: his face like it was behind the door, and it's

Speaker 2: Him in the Yeah, he realized what happened, and then
Speaker 2: he's like, oh, hello world.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, it's like it was some type of disagreement
Speaker 3: and now he has played it off to where it's
Speaker 3: not a big deal. Wasn't anything domestic of any kind,
Speaker 3: But it looks like they're in somehow argument and it's
Speaker 3: the very uncomfortable moment. He is really tried to go
Speaker 3: on the offense and downplay it.
Speaker 1: Boy, those of you that haven't seen it, you know,
Speaker 1: it's if you're married, you look at it in a
Speaker 1: whole different way.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's happening. Things are very bad. Yeah yeah,

Speaker 1: our old friend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, y'all, y'all got everybody all'll just I'm talking about
Speaker 3: stressed out with you in your flight, worrying.
Speaker 1: It was awful. I didn't like well, when you're talking
Speaker 1: about commercial airline. Now, I was really feeling much better
Speaker 1: about it when I realized that, you know, American had
Speaker 1: direct flights to where you needed to go. That help.
Speaker 5: That's big. Yeah, that's real big.
Speaker 1: And if they could just take off, then you're you're
Speaker 1: pretty much okay. I was. I was where I really struggled.
Speaker 1: I thought you might make the game. I did not
Speaker 1: did not think you would make the hockey game.
Speaker 5: I did not. Hockey is it called a match? Is
Speaker 5: it a game?
Speaker 3: It's a game?
Speaker 1: I don't know this. You come back from one hockey
Speaker 1: game by one Jersey Sudden. You're an expert on hockey.
Speaker 2: The bulls come on right, cocky rink.
Speaker 1: I think you kind of mojo the stars, but we
Speaker 1: won't get into that.
Speaker 3: I did mojo. I don't think I did. I didn't
Speaker 3: say one thing about them winning the game.
Speaker 1: You said we're gonna fly on, They're gonna win.
Speaker 3: But I will tell you this, I don't know what's
Speaker 3: wrong with us. I don't know why we always have
Speaker 3: to get something on somebody, but we do.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: J C had never flown before, and so and thank
Speaker 3: y'all for letting me just slide out a little early
Speaker 3: because that that was that was instrumental in getting us
Speaker 3: out on time. Because the only flight that I could
Speaker 3: find that would get us there that was non stop
Speaker 3: was American Airlines and it was their American Eagle smaller plane,
Speaker 3: which you had everybody worried about. And and so we
Speaker 3: get there and we're kind of pressing a little bit,
Speaker 3: and I tell j C, do you know the scanners
Speaker 3: that you have to like put everything in the bucket
Speaker 3: and and and it kind of goes through. I told
Speaker 3: him that you have to lay down and it sends
Speaker 3: you through the like, so you started climbing up on
Speaker 3: the So you get it. You get in line at
Speaker 3: the T s A line and you know those ziggs
Speaker 3: snake you through the line and your way back and
Speaker 3: I'm like, live there that they're the big m R
Speaker 3: machines are right there, and he goes really, I said yeah,
Speaker 3: And so his whole time he's thinking he's got to
Speaker 3: lay down. So they got a scan. I said, yeah,
Speaker 3: they got a scan. You make sure that nobody's got
Speaker 3: anything on.
Speaker 2: Great dad moment and then fantastic.
Speaker 3: And then as they got closer, he said, well, why
Speaker 3: is everybody why? Why why are they why are they
Speaker 3: taking their stuff out and putting it in in the
Speaker 3: in the little buckets. Well, they're not going through no no,
Speaker 3: I said, well, they they've flown before, it's just first
Speaker 3: time or so. And then gets closer he realizes he's
Speaker 3: got I've got him. Yeah, yeah, and uh, I think
Speaker 3: he never really bought it, but he was always suspicious
Speaker 3: of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But we get through T. S A no issues. We
Speaker 3: both have the had the star I D or whatever
Speaker 3: you call it another state mark and Alabama it's it's
Speaker 3: the storm you mean the mark. Yeah, and uh, and
Speaker 3: so we get in there and it's a little crammed.
Speaker 3: Uh for American eagle. Uh, it'll be crammed. And Jesse
Speaker 3: he's six fourish six three six four, he's a big boy,
Speaker 3: and said them knees, you know they oh yeah, but
Speaker 3: I was able to capture her.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: And it's just the sound of of us, just nat
Speaker 3: sound inside the plane. But that a lot of this
Speaker 3: was from mom. Okay she wanted. Of course I documented,
Speaker 3: and so I videoed us taking off and his reaction language, Yeah,
Speaker 3: he's love it. And also I don't know what's wrong
Speaker 3: with me. I said, Hey, a lot of people pass
Speaker 3: out when they take off. And I said, I said,
Speaker 3: so you want to tighten him legs so that you know?
Speaker 1: Of course, did you look over and have squats all time?
Speaker 1: Love stuff like that first time flyer jokes is just
Speaker 1: a blast. Yeah, but it's your son.
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is about j C. But
Speaker 3: remember one of his coaches shout out to coach Blake Lewis.
Speaker 3: He had shin splints one time and he coach told
Speaker 3: him if he slept in his shoes, way he started
Speaker 3: trying to sleep in his shoes so good. Uh so
Speaker 3: but no he he he enjoyed himself. So we we uh,
Speaker 3: we take off on time. You know, I would love
Speaker 3: to come here. I wouldn't love, you know, and go
Speaker 3: and dog the airlines. I gotta tell you, American was
Speaker 3: on time on this flight. They were on time going
Speaker 3: and coming back.
Speaker 5: What a blessing.
Speaker 3: And matter of fact, coming back that the pilot said,
Speaker 3: I'm not bragging. I'm just telling you this. We're leaving
Speaker 3: out a little early. They've given us the green line.
Speaker 1: I love. It never happened to me in a thousand years.
Speaker 3: So I have not really dove into the uber world,
Speaker 3: I guess just because when traveling we either always driving
Speaker 3: what haven't really needed them, you know. And and so
Speaker 3: I worried Adler a little bit about it because I
Speaker 3: was actually he locks in on something and conversation and
Speaker 3: uh and so we land and I was just asking
Speaker 3: him some things and and we land at Dallas Fort Worth,
Speaker 3: and the big discussion is, all right, what do we
Speaker 3: What do you want to do?
Speaker 1: Son?
Speaker 3: You want to go back to the hotel and though
Speaker 3: check ins not till three, it's like one o'clock, or
Speaker 3: do you just want to go grab something to eat
Speaker 3: and uber there and then just make our way to
Speaker 3: the hotel, and we both agreed. It was lunchtime. We
Speaker 3: were starving and a good friend of mine, Ron Herring,
Speaker 3: suggested Hard eight Barbecue. Had Drake, a former friend of
Speaker 3: the still friend of the show, but he played anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Kevin Drake. You know he played for the Cowboys. He
Speaker 3: played for the Cowboys, so he knows Dallas.
Speaker 1: And what do you say?
Speaker 3: He said, you ain't going wrong for heart with heart
Speaker 3: A He said you need to go there, and I
Speaker 3: mean go there immediately.
Speaker 1: By the way, Adam, I.
Speaker 5: Want you to know.
Speaker 1: And I'm so sorry, buddy, because I know you had
Speaker 1: a lot on you. I pretended to know nothing about
Speaker 1: Uber because I was afraid that that speedy would lock in.
Speaker 3: It's like, it's a conversation. It's just called a conversation.
Speaker 3: Have you ever used it? And that's all it is.
Speaker 3: Nobody's worrying to anybody. It's it's friends talking.
Speaker 2: It's friends talking. You feel a little bit like your
Speaker 2: travel agent, but that friends talking.
Speaker 3: Well, if I've done something, y'all have and I hope
Speaker 3: you can. Hey, what was it like?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 1: Well, we'll remember that, right, So you you told uber
Speaker 1: all Thanks to Adler.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was so easy. I mean, you're right, it
Speaker 3: was so easy. It was like, where are you blah
Speaker 3: blah blah, there's your choice up, here's your choices. I
Speaker 3: am four minutes out. Uh and and Adler. I even
Speaker 3: did what you did when we landed. I tried to
Speaker 3: see how long they were, and so I waited until
Speaker 3: we got out, because you don't want them waiting on
Speaker 3: you and all that.
Speaker 1: You got to watch that.
Speaker 3: So we come on out, we jump in. We even
Speaker 3: tell the driver where we're going, and he was bragging,
Speaker 3: y'all gonna love this, don't.
Speaker 5: You love a pleasant drive?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: And you walk up and you get all that you want? Well, yeah,
Speaker 3: you can. You can get whatever you want to. I
Speaker 3: can get this multiple Yeah, so you know which one
Speaker 3: you're going after?

Speaker 1: You've eaten at this wonderful place. But I can't help
Speaker 1: but hear a cash register.
Speaker 5: In the background.
Speaker 1: Hey, uh, And I mean, I know, I know how
Speaker 1: you are about money. Hey, I know, Okay, are you
Speaker 1: all right?
Speaker 3: N well, yeah, I mean it was the great. It
Speaker 3: was a great.
Speaker 1: You have to let your your cheapness go and just
Speaker 1: say this is my son.
Speaker 3: Yeah, cheap couldn't go on this on trip.
Speaker 5: People can't take this.
Speaker 3: I had to leave him at home, right, Yeah?
Speaker 1: That make you uncomfortable? You just could you be peaceful
Speaker 1: about it?
Speaker 3: I hadn't looked just you know, oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Right now I'm thinking that.
Speaker 5: I'm thinking about Greg right now.
Speaker 1: We got flights, we got tickets to go see a
Speaker 1: playoff game Stanley Cume. Proud of them, so proud of Thember.
Speaker 1: And now we're eating at hard eight. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And now Uber, I mean, it's the Uber. It's the
Speaker 3: way to go, no doubt, because rental car with big
Speaker 3: hassle and go put you that and going in.
Speaker 1: I told j C.
Speaker 3: This this is an in and out trip. This is
Speaker 3: not I wish we could stay all weekend and enjoy
Speaker 3: Dallas and go see this, that, and this is in
Speaker 3: and out. We're on a mission, we're landing, we're going
Speaker 3: to a game, we're coming home the next day. That
Speaker 3: that's just the way it is. And so he knew
Speaker 3: that going in just the way it is. We I was.
Speaker 3: I was very surprised with how nice all the Uber
Speaker 3: drivers were. I'd heard stories about you don't get the
Speaker 3: wrong guy. What everybody seemed extremely kind tells you about that.
Speaker 5: That's everybody trying to be sharp.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like if one guy wouldn't let in his vehicle,
Speaker 1: that's all. Yeah, it's like social media. They only show
Speaker 1: you certain things. And so when it comes to anything
Speaker 1: you're doing, no one tells you all the great experiences
Speaker 1: to have. They got to tell you that bad one
Speaker 1: about that serial hill. That's yeah, you get you get
Speaker 1: thrown in an alley one time, and you take all
Speaker 1: your money.
Speaker 5: Now, nobody wants to ride with Uber, right, go ahead.
Speaker 3: So now we've eaten way too much, and we even
Speaker 3: get in the stomach. We even get in the car
Speaker 3: and we're like, oh, boy, probably shouldn't eat that much
Speaker 3: because we got.
Speaker 1: A long day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we so good. I'm not bragging.
Speaker 3: This is just the way it was. We time down
Speaker 3: the hotel, check in perfectly. As we enter downtown, we
Speaker 3: start small talking and is we were the whole the
Speaker 3: whole way a lot longer the boy Dallas traffic, good
Speaker 3: night Alive. We were doing the best we could and
Speaker 3: it took thirty five minutes to get to get to
Speaker 3: our hotel. But we're about twenty minutes prior to check in,
Speaker 3: and I'd talk to jac about, you know, you want
Speaker 3: to try to squeeze anything else in or is this
Speaker 3: all about the game or whatever. But as we as
Speaker 3: we're going to the hotel, I look over and I'm like,
Speaker 3: that's there's Daley Plaza right there.
Speaker 8: There we go here he goes, and the driver said, yes,
Speaker 8: multiple shooters, it's only a half moth and uh And
Speaker 8: I say, okay, well, well so do you want what
Speaker 8: Let's just get checked in and then kind of have
Speaker 8: an hour to to kind of take a deep breath
Speaker 8: and you know, drop our bags and all this kind
Speaker 8: of stuff, and then we'll kind of play it out.
Speaker 3: So we looked at each other and we're like, well,
Speaker 3: you know, if we're just going to uber around, why
Speaker 3: not walk down to Daley Plaza and experience that and
Speaker 3: just uber to the game from there. Yeah, and so.
Speaker 1: We we plan.
Speaker 3: So we got it. Now here's the here's the issue though,
Speaker 3: if you're going into a hockey game and that they
Speaker 3: not being not being it to a hockey game at
Speaker 3: the NHL level, but going to the Birmingham Bulls or
Speaker 3: the Huntsville Havoc or stuff like that. You know, it
Speaker 3: is cooler in there, and so you have to bring
Speaker 3: clothes or layer if you get cold, because if you're
Speaker 3: close to the ice, it'll get it, you know, fifty
Speaker 3: eight to sixty degrees the entire game. And so I
Speaker 3: had to kind of I'm like, well, I'm gonna grab
Speaker 3: a light hoodie.
Speaker 1: Rabbit brought it with you or bought one you no grabbed,
Speaker 1: I grabbed. I grabbed it. I packed it, No way
Speaker 1: packed it.
Speaker 3: So you know, you get a little you get a
Speaker 3: little warm on the wall. But we get to deal
Speaker 3: plaza and and and JC got to experience that. There
Speaker 3: was he stood, he stood, He stood on the first
Speaker 3: X and uh, Lee Harvey, the window for Lee Harvey
Speaker 3: Oswalt is right here.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: And so the trees uh. And even a couple of
Speaker 3: years ago when I went the trees had grown up
Speaker 3: a little bit, but they keep on getting a little
Speaker 3: bit higher, so it's tough to see the angle, but
Speaker 3: that there's two xes in the road. That's the first X.
Speaker 3: And so we're there and then we're hanging out and
Speaker 3: then we uber to the game, and we get to
Speaker 3: the game and we go to the uh the I
Speaker 3: think it's is that the hangar?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah here, yeah, I think I think Third Down
Speaker 3: is a video I took. It's kind of a three
Speaker 3: sixty of us standing.
Speaker 1: Now. Did j C like this part?
Speaker 3: He liked it because he was like, oh my goodness, dad,
Speaker 3: you know, and I kind of talked to him about it.
Speaker 3: We were focused more on the game. No, because we
Speaker 3: didn't stay. We didn't stay there long. Wed only stay
Speaker 3: there probably fifteen No, it's just I mean, it's just
Speaker 3: you're there, you see it. It's not you can't go inside.
Speaker 3: It's just you're there. So then you leave, you know.
Speaker 3: It was look, I would I would have hated to
Speaker 3: be that close and and and him never have got
Speaker 3: to experience that.
Speaker 2: When it's it's not one you stay for a long time.
Speaker 5: I bet if Adam had been there longer and fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2: We would be staying on the grassy knoll. I'd have
Speaker 2: you stay on the X. I'd see easy and.
Speaker 5: Then you're then you're gonna get a monolog.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5: I know about both the conspiracy of.
Speaker 2: It on right, military industrial conflicts.
Speaker 1: That phrase when that phrase comes out.
Speaker 2: Well intelligence, intelligence community.
Speaker 3: This latest was a congressman or senator that came out
Speaker 3: of that hearing was like, hey, the the the doctor
Speaker 3: said there was multiple yes, wounds from different angles and stuff.
Speaker 3: It just makes you think. But anyway, I took video
Speaker 3: of us standing there and then then now it's all
Speaker 3: about let's get to the game. Uh. And we knew
Speaker 3: when the he knew when the lawn, he knew when
Speaker 3: the doors were opening, and and everything and so full experience.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you kidding me. But the experience is something
Speaker 3: I have not experienced at a at a sporting event.
Speaker 5: We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: With the sun celebrating the graduation. Son has become a
Speaker 1: big hockey fan, the Dallas Stars. His team Speedy of
Speaker 1: course is he says, he left cheap Speedy at home.
Speaker 1: You have to if you're don't make this trip happen
Speaker 1: and see, I know yeah, and don't even look speedy
Speaker 1: because we haven't even got to the to the game. Now,
Speaker 1: now you're at the game, and let me tell you,
Speaker 1: all of us know this. If you've gone to a
Speaker 1: college or a professional sporting event, they are they they're
Speaker 1: just waiting to grab every single dime from you they
Speaker 1: possibly can every They're playing on your emotions and your
Speaker 1: devotion to your teams, and they're ready to hit you
Speaker 1: as hard as they possibly can financially.
Speaker 5: And it is ugly.
Speaker 1: It's so, it is super super ugly, just absolute ugliness.
Speaker 3: Yep, you call them moment. You can't. You just can't.
Speaker 1: You can't worry about that, as Dad would say, No, yeah,
Speaker 1: so so you've you've oh my gosh, okay, he's just
Speaker 1: looked at it. Oh my, speedy, pretty bad flights.
Speaker 2: What you're looking at?
Speaker 5: No good?
Speaker 2: Non, so add that to it.
Speaker 1: I got so I got flights, including in that. Now
Speaker 1: it's just tickets, I say about flash tickets. It was
Speaker 1: a little bit there before that. But so we're looking
Speaker 1: probably at about but I know, I know, without you
Speaker 1: telling me anything, you step inside that arena, it's ugly
Speaker 1: in there.
Speaker 3: For cheap people, it is ugly. And I don't think
Speaker 3: I'm cheap. I just don't think I do. I'm wasteful spending,
Speaker 3: but like.
Speaker 1: You know, get y'all paint your face or anything like.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I think he for some reason, I
Speaker 3: don't know why, but him and a couple of his
Speaker 3: teammates adopted the Dallas Stars as their their hockey team.
Speaker 5: We don't know why.
Speaker 3: I don't know why why.
Speaker 1: I do kind of be thankful they didn't grab some
Speaker 1: Canadian team.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh, and so here we so here we go,
Speaker 3: and this is that's that's it was the last spur
Speaker 3: of the moment type of trip, which sometimes are the best.
Speaker 3: And so we're in and out and and so we
Speaker 3: make it to the game and we're a little early.
Speaker 3: He wanted to go buy the Hangar, which is their
Speaker 3: pro shop, and start looking a jersey and yeah, and
Speaker 3: you know what I realized until and not till that point,
Speaker 3: is different sports adopt different things as far as merchandise
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. You know, you go to a
Speaker 3: baseball game, you're gonna buy a hat and a T
Speaker 3: shirt every nine and then you might see a jersey
Speaker 3: here or there, but it's not everybody. You go to
Speaker 3: a football game, it's very similar a hat, a T shirt,
Speaker 3: something like that, maybe a jersey or two. Uh, and
Speaker 3: that's it. But in hockey it's jersey, jersey, jersey. Get
Speaker 3: you put a jersey on, jersey, it is jersey. And
Speaker 3: if you are traveling in like Edmonton Oilers were, they
Speaker 3: all have jerseys on. There's no doubting who's for who.
Speaker 3: So if you got to have a jersey on, so uh,
Speaker 3: going in, he he knew that he wants ranting in
Speaker 3: is one of the guys that plays for the Dallas Stars.
Speaker 3: He wanted that jersey, and you can't find them. They
Speaker 3: stay sold out every time they have one. There's yeah,
Speaker 3: but yeah, he's he's one of the main ones. And
Speaker 3: so we go outside and sure enough they're sold out.
Speaker 3: They got a slew of other jerseys. And but he
Speaker 3: went over smart. He went over and and befriended one
Speaker 3: of the employees, just small talking and and they said, hey,
Speaker 3: there's a couple. There's six other pro shops inside the arena.
Speaker 3: There's one that has them. Because I know we just
Speaker 3: made some. So he said, when you go in, network,
Speaker 3: he said, when you go in, you don't look left
Speaker 3: or right, you go straight there they're going to be gone.
Speaker 3: So so we get in line, and you're the dad,
Speaker 3: you have to come through and get this.
Speaker 1: So we get his back like when he was little,
Speaker 1: and you're like, he's got to meet the bread barrel.
Speaker 3: It's like he became a little kid again. And so
Speaker 3: we get in line a little early. Uh, and we
Speaker 3: get in line with all the other fanatics and and
Speaker 3: they all start their chanting and stuff, and they're serious
Speaker 3: about it, and they'll call each other out like Edmonton
Speaker 3: Oiler's people were there there like in each other's face,
Speaker 3: like dogging each other and talking over again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that means just that's the fun of it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you don't hate your opponent, why be there?
Speaker 3: Right, So we get in and the plan was is
Speaker 3: that he goes to one shop and he goes I said,
Speaker 3: there's no reason for both of us to go to
Speaker 3: say one, I'm going to the other one, and that
Speaker 3: they we had told had them. So we split up,
Speaker 3: and sure enough, he finds one and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: all all this could we found a jersey? So it
Speaker 3: hurt a little bit. They have three tiers of jerseys.
Speaker 2: Three tiers. They have the price tiers.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, So like they have the let's just call
Speaker 3: the hives, and I'm just kind of gonna the price
Speaker 3: is a little bit. Let's just say the one fifty version.
Speaker 3: There is no other verse one fifty. That's the cheapest.
Speaker 2: That's achieves, that's entry level.
Speaker 1: That's the chief Jersey.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're pressing on the number there, and we're pressing
Speaker 3: on the dame.
Speaker 2: You're paying one hundred and fifty bucks for an iron
Speaker 2: on tea.
Speaker 3: Correct, but it doesn't look I mean they're well made.
Speaker 3: The next version is about let's say two seventy five,
Speaker 3: and they're sown on. Okay, and then you've got the
Speaker 3: close to five hundred version, and that is close. We
Speaker 3: make these for the players, like these are like legit.
Speaker 1: What they wear on that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now the others are good and and so the
Speaker 3: only version they had in there was the middle one.
Speaker 3: And so you are so glad, Yes, so you find
Speaker 3: the player he wanted, Yes, and so that he found
Speaker 3: the writing in Jersey, and so good you didn't you
Speaker 3: didn't entry level. If they would have had that, I
Speaker 3: would have I would have I would have looked for it.
Speaker 3: But really, because this is a gift to him. It was, Hey,
Speaker 3: what are you what are you looking.
Speaker 2: For once in a lifetime trip.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he was actually in college.
Speaker 1: Pretty big deal. Yeah, that's what right?
Speaker 3: Not only that, hey, graduating finance already have a job.
Speaker 1: Come so we're celebrated, right right, that's right.
Speaker 3: Sure, and so we find that and then we make
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you when we got in there, I
Speaker 3: had not I thought I knew what it was going
Speaker 3: to be like. And I want to make sure I'm
Speaker 3: not over exaggerating here because I know how y'all are sure, guys,
Speaker 3: I had not experienced anything like it. And now understand
Speaker 3: I stateum, guy, not to say what a statement in
Speaker 3: the uf L. I mean, I know, I'm not. I'm
Speaker 3: not bragging. That's just I've been around some big sporting events.
Speaker 3: I know u f L now that that's hard to beat. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but I mean that's that's a blast on the college level.
Speaker 1: But your years with the Titans, you're saying, this is
Speaker 1: more electricity than the Titans have.
Speaker 3: It's when it comes to the Super Bowl, when it
Speaker 3: comes to sports. I had not experienced this type of energy.
Speaker 1: I hadn't.
Speaker 3: Wow, I hadn't. And this is this is I mean,
Speaker 3: and this is how they bring them out. I mean
Speaker 3: this is insane. I mean it's yes.
Speaker 1: JC just stoked.
Speaker 3: He's so excited.
Speaker 1: That's all you have to keep telling yourself.
Speaker 2: Thousand yeah, and they're ten thousand dollars worth of member.

Speaker 3: He would shut.
Speaker 1: Stars and here come here come the players.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean everybody's going nuts. I mean it is,
Speaker 3: it is crazy. And he said, he told me, he said,
Speaker 3: do you know Dad that the front line for the
Speaker 3: Dallas Stars, everybody is from Finland, the entire front line,
Speaker 3: the Fins, the Fins. But they come out. Of course
Speaker 3: they get shut out, and that hurt.

Speaker 3: Speed you cannot have one thing.
Speaker 1: You thought you could have something starts are gonna wina.
Speaker 3: So there's three periods in hockey. For those of you
Speaker 3: don't know, twenty minute breaks between each period minute. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so they go in zamboni. You don't understand the zamboni,
Speaker 3: the cardio and the stress on the bodies until you're
Speaker 3: there and you see what's going on when you understand
Speaker 3: the twenty minute breaks. Uh. And so during the breaks,
Speaker 3: everybody goes out and you know, if they're drinking, they
Speaker 3: get a beer, or they go and to get more merchandise,
Speaker 3: and or they just hang out and walk around. They
Speaker 3: sit in the seats and there's any entertainment, and I know,

Speaker 3: couple of times I saw it brewing and and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: I'm want to roll this for the show so we
Speaker 3: can capture a fight, and and it just never escalated.
Speaker 3: There was a there was some of course, some penalties
Speaker 3: and some power plays and some four on fours and
Speaker 3: stuff like that, but it was nothing made to follow.
Speaker 1: Follow I could, and.
Speaker 3: I already I knew. I knew going in that I would.
Speaker 3: There might be a few things. I sing sometimes I'm
Speaker 3: a little confused on that offside. But I got the
Speaker 3: off sides. I got the blue line and all that.
Speaker 3: But but so we wake up and we we walked
Speaker 3: downstairs because I knew the Uber guy said it was
Speaker 3: only five minutes away, so I waited, uh, and here
Speaker 3: he pulls up. And when I got in, I knew
Speaker 3: he meant business, and I think it may be working
Speaker 3: that time of day. He knew we're going to the airport.
Speaker 3: I'm getting you there, got so there was no telling
Speaker 3: him to hurry up. Yeah, I mean we're like, here
Speaker 3: we go.
Speaker 1: He knows the deal. I gotta get catch my fly.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The Uber cars, I bed, Huh, you didn't press I
Speaker 3: didn't press the kind of I mean it was a
Speaker 3: it was a it was a five thirty pick up
Speaker 3: to get there by six flights at seven, and so
Speaker 3: we were what I was probably pressing a little much.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I hadn't been through Dallas for it
Speaker 1: worth in a long time. I don't know the airport situation.
Speaker 3: Here's what I did.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I woke up at four forty five and I checked
Speaker 3: I checked maps to see how long is it taken,
Speaker 3: and it said twenty five minutes to get to the airport. See,
Speaker 3: there was no major problems, and so jac slept about
Speaker 3: five ten and then and then I knew, you know,
Speaker 3: the Uber driver was about seven minutes away. So at
Speaker 3: five point twenty I ordered the driver. He pulls up
Speaker 3: at five twenty eight. We get in the car, and
Speaker 3: here we go, and we pull up at six o'clock,
Speaker 3: right on the game. But the other Uber cars I'd
Speaker 3: been in either the music was down or something just pleasant,
Speaker 3: really low. This one had Joe Rogan on and I
Speaker 3: think it's Amanda Knox, who was the girl that framed
Speaker 3: for the murder, and he was going to make sure
Speaker 3: you heard it, and he heard it and everybody heard it.
Speaker 1: Shocking.
Speaker 3: I'm well versed on that whole thing, how she was framed,
Speaker 3: and how she started a relationship with the prosecutor who
Speaker 3: ruined her life.
Speaker 2: The interrogation process, the whole thing.
Speaker 3: So we get out up to date on a Man
Speaker 3: of Knox through Joe Rogan. But we go through TSA,
Speaker 3: no issues, get checked, You get checked through the gate,
Speaker 3: and we sit down and we don't sit there more
Speaker 3: than twenty minutes. They start boarding and uh, I guess
Speaker 3: maybe around six point fifty or so. The pilot even
Speaker 3: comes on and says the captain says, hey, I'm not bragging,
Speaker 3: but they've given us clearics to go ahead and start
Speaker 3: moving out. So I love We starts tagging head.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 3: And so I'm thinking, just please, no incident, no incident,
Speaker 3: no incident, Let's please, let's leave. Okay, We're up, We're up.
Speaker 3: We're in the air, okay, and it's a direct flight,
Speaker 3: so you're good now, right, And I'm thinking to myself,
Speaker 3: don't nobody act like a fool. Up to where we
Speaker 3: got to divert and turn around. He's taking a clothes
Speaker 3: off or something. Sure and uh and sure enough we land.
Speaker 3: Uh And Terry was at the mobile parking. She pulled up,
Speaker 3: and so she I texted her when we got out.
Speaker 3: She pulled up. We jumped in the car. I leave
Speaker 3: the truck here at the studio. Remember back on Friday,
Speaker 3: Long Time came by the studio. Uh, grabbed the truck,
Speaker 3: went home, had about an hour and a half to chill,
Speaker 3: and then I'm back out and I was at I
Speaker 3: was at Protective walking in get ready to get you
Speaker 3: up and uh ready ready yeah, and Uh. It wasn't
Speaker 3: until then that I talked to Taylor and UH and
Speaker 3: Davis and Ethan and Ellie and others a part of
Speaker 3: game day. They said, okay, we're gonna come clean. We
Speaker 3: were nervous we had followed what you had. And I
Speaker 3: was wondering why. Taylor texted me on Friday and said, hey, man,
Speaker 3: you good for tomorrow. She never does that sure.
Speaker 1: I said, well, yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 2: Why I'm come, I'm.
Speaker 3: Fine for you know. And and so I show up
Speaker 3: and we're ready to go, and and you made it.
Speaker 3: We Birmingham and Stallions and Birmingham and Stallions and and
Speaker 3: uh and it gets down to holding the Michigan Panthers out,
Speaker 3: uh for like I think four plays inside the ten,
Speaker 3: and the Stallions held them. And so they won regular
Speaker 3: season USFL Conference and now they have a playoff game
Speaker 3: on June eighth at two pm. They'll host Michigan again
Speaker 3: for the who represents the USFL and the UFL Championship game.
Speaker 1: I bet you're zankful for that.
Speaker 3: We are, We're very thankful.
Speaker 4: This is the Rick Burgess Show.
Speaker 1: So today May twenty seven, a lot of you know this.
Speaker 1: Of course, the guys in the room know this. This
Speaker 1: was the day, believe it or not, twenty years ago
Speaker 1: that William browner Burgess was born. With the year yeah,
Speaker 1: if you're new to the show, William Browner Burgess is
Speaker 1: my youngest child and number five of the five children
Speaker 1: that we have, and he of course died his earthly
Speaker 1: death at two and a half years old on January
Speaker 1: the nineteenth, two thousand and eight. So you know, today
Speaker 1: is the day that he was born, which was a
Speaker 1: day of incredible joy and incredible celebrations. I remember how
Speaker 1: much of a fun day that that was. And so
Speaker 1: you know, when you come around and these markers hit,
Speaker 1: you know, I can't imagine him at twenty twenty twenty
Speaker 1: if you can, I mean, so yeah, and there's been
Speaker 1: you know, for a child that only lived on this
Speaker 1: earth for two and a half years. You know, you
Speaker 1: have to you always as Sherry and I and our family.
Speaker 1: You know, Sherry said it best in her book about
Speaker 1: all this and if you never read it, I highly
Speaker 1: suggest that you do. Is that, especially if you've been
Speaker 1: through this. She has so much help in there from
Speaker 1: the source that matters God himself. He's never been silent
Speaker 1: on this kind of stuff, as Sherry researched and lays
Speaker 1: out beautifully in the book, and she's such a gifted writer.
Speaker 1: And so but anyway, one of the things that you
Speaker 1: have to is, and Sherry said this, I don't always
Speaker 1: like God's tactics and his plan, but I could never
Speaker 1: ever argue with the results. And we have seen that
Speaker 1: and the impact that it's had on us individually as people,
Speaker 1: you know, just crushed and having to be built back
Speaker 1: and going through just having to depend on God to
Speaker 1: Breathe probably brought us closer to God and strengthen our
Speaker 1: faith like nothing ever, nothing else we've ever experienced. It's
Speaker 1: not our only battle, but it was a very very
Speaker 1: hard one. And so you also have to trust. And
Speaker 1: this is something God has said over and over again.
Speaker 1: Some of you heard me say this. I said in
Speaker 1: the Bible study last Wednesday. When you think about Psalms
Speaker 1: Psalm one thirty nine thirteen to through sixteen, when there's
Speaker 1: an interesting comment here from David and what he knows
Speaker 1: about God. And as we know, David, you know, had
Speaker 1: a child that died also, And David is talking about
Speaker 1: where life begins and how God weaves us together inside
Speaker 1: the very womb of our mothers uh, and that while
Speaker 1: he's done that, he knows us fully and even knows
Speaker 1: the number of days. It says, every one of my
Speaker 1: days were written in your book before I was ever born,
Speaker 1: and you knew the number of them. So when you
Speaker 1: hear that, you're you realize that though Bronner's life might
Speaker 1: have been short on earth, as far as we're concerned,
Speaker 1: and God revealed this over and over and over again,
Speaker 1: it was it was perfect. We say it was short,
Speaker 1: but it was perfect. And the impact from this, this
Speaker 1: what happened with this child has I mean, it just continues,
Speaker 1: it continues to this day. I can't even wrap my
Speaker 1: mind around all God has done through this little life
Speaker 1: that wasn't here very long. So yeah, I think about him,
Speaker 1: and you can't help but go. I wonder what he
Speaker 1: would be like at twenty. But God has revealed to
Speaker 1: me so many times, and to Sherry, one of them
Speaker 1: was vivid. I remember, you know, whether you know this
Speaker 1: or not. And some of you that haven't experienced being
Speaker 1: a dad yet, I pray you get to. And one
Speaker 1: of the things if every dad was honest. I'm sure
Speaker 1: to moms to some degree, but always to dad's if
Speaker 1: we were honest, the first time you see your last
Speaker 1: name on the back of a little jersey, it's a
Speaker 1: big day. Yeah, it could be Tea baut but they're
Speaker 1: just something fun about it. And you probably experienced it
Speaker 1: seeing your grandson with the bird just on the back
Speaker 1: of his little jersey. Yeah, there's just something about that,
Speaker 1: you know. And so I was coaching and it was
Speaker 1: only a few months after Broner had gone to heaven,
Speaker 1: and I was it was that spring, and I was
Speaker 1: coaching coach pitch with one of my sons. It was
Speaker 1: it was Brodie. Yeah, And so I was on third
Speaker 1: and so Brody, you know, comes over from second and
Speaker 1: rounds at third and comes back to the base and
Speaker 1: he turns his back to me. So I see Burgess
Speaker 1: on the back of his jersey, and in that moment,
Speaker 1: and then these moments come and I thought, so I'll
Speaker 1: never see Broner play little ly, I want to experience
Speaker 1: that with him, and God, just, I mean, just in
Speaker 1: the comfort of the moment, just immediately in my spirit,
Speaker 1: I was reminded, well, if you believe what scripture says,
Speaker 1: and you have faith in the providence of God, Broner
Speaker 1: never was.
Speaker 4: Going to play little League.
Speaker 1: You didn't miss anything that was never going to happen.
Speaker 1: So and I and I thought, you know again, and
Speaker 1: I trust that what you do right. You know, I
Speaker 1: may never know to I stand before him the things
Speaker 1: and the grace and the mercy that God showed through
Speaker 1: all that.
Speaker 5: Who knows.
Speaker 1: All I know is that, as Job said, I my
Speaker 1: hope is only in him, and I trust what he
Speaker 1: does is right. And so but I'm also realizing that,
Speaker 1: you know, it was like I think. I think it
Speaker 1: was an interesting fine bomb gave me the chance to
Speaker 1: say that. And people sometimes will say, well, were you
Speaker 1: ever angry with God? And I can honestly say, and
Speaker 1: you for me say it in the past. No, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not just saying that because it's the right thing
Speaker 1: to say. Even though God's not afraid of our anger,
Speaker 1: He's not afraid of us, you know, asking questions that
Speaker 1: never that has never taken place ever. And the sad
Speaker 1: part that is sad is you know you think, well,
Speaker 1: I would have liked to have had twenty years with
Speaker 1: Ronner as of today. But I also know that if
Speaker 1: I want to be upset about anything, I'm upset that
Speaker 1: I as a as a individual, and this earth is
Speaker 1: so sinful that God allows these kind of things so
Speaker 1: he can get our attention. I hate that I'm so
Speaker 1: sinful that this is something that God knew I needed.
Speaker 1: So if I want to be upset about anything, I
Speaker 1: just have to be upset with myself because it certainly
Speaker 1: took me into places that nothing else would have taken me.
Speaker 1: And I've seen things happen through this that weren't going
Speaker 1: to happen any other way, and involving lots of people.
Speaker 1: So I have one of the things that we have
Speaker 1: been able to see, and they're all over the country,
Speaker 1: is all these different little boys named Bronner. And you
Speaker 1: know one of them, just Rees, is about six over
Speaker 1: six almost seven months old. That was if you do
Speaker 1: remember Fire Marshall Megan when she she worked here on
Speaker 1: the show. So she and her two sisters, they kept
Speaker 1: our kids.
Speaker 5: You know, they would want to get married. We go
Speaker 5: the next one that one get married.
Speaker 1: We go the next one, and Lindsey, the youngest one, said,
Speaker 1: if she ever had a son, because she took care
Speaker 1: of Broner and helped us with him. You know, we
Speaker 1: would go out on dates and all that, and they
Speaker 1: really connected. And she said, if I ever have a son,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna name Himronner. Well, she had two daughters, beautiful
Speaker 1: little girls, and they were waiting and waiting. So the
Speaker 1: years went by. Well, a little over six months ago
Speaker 1: she gave birth to their first son, and they named
Speaker 1: him Bronner, and she brought him. We got to see
Speaker 1: him right after he was born, but he actually came
Speaker 1: over to the house the other day and Sherry got
Speaker 1: to hold him and play with him. And I got
Speaker 1: home before they left and got to see him. And
Speaker 1: you know, I keep saying, one day, and we'll see
Speaker 1: when it is. I keep thinking, one day, if we
Speaker 1: can make it happen, how cool it would be. And
Speaker 1: I've said this before, but revisiting that to maybe have
Speaker 1: all these Bronners, of all these different ages, to maybe
Speaker 1: come down to the farm. I'd love to just have
Speaker 1: this big picture of all of them. And I don't
Speaker 1: know how many. I mean, we have somebody today I
Speaker 1: talked about their son named Bronner.
Speaker 5: I don't know how many there are, but it's a
Speaker 5: number of them.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, and so so it's that's a blessing too,
Speaker 9: just to watch that legacy of such a short earthly
Speaker 9: life that really reaches.
Speaker 1: I mean, it is continuing to have an impact. So
Speaker 1: twenty years ago today, that's uh, that little boy was
Speaker 1: given to us as an incredible gift, and I'm thankful
Speaker 1: to God for allowing me such a such a wonderful
Speaker 1: day twenty years ago. We'll be right back, Jake Tapper.
Speaker 1: It just must be weird the position that he's in.
Speaker 1: We prove over and over again that he was complacent.
Speaker 3: Uh and uh in.
Speaker 1: This false narrative that Joe Biden did not have any
Speaker 1: cognitive skills. Okay, Uh, and not complacent. It's not the word,
Speaker 1: is it, Juse, If you're complacent, I mean you're not
Speaker 1: doing it. I can't remember the word, but let's it complicit.
Speaker 1: That's the word going for. Yeah, And because complacent means
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't just kind of set around, so
Speaker 1: now who whatever? But yeah, I guess you could do either.
Speaker 1: But I know that all the English teachers out there
Speaker 1: will be sure we get it right. Jake Tapper now
Speaker 1: claims that Biden's health scandal cover up is worse than Watergate.
Speaker 1: I would agree that that the government has done a
Speaker 1: lot of things since Watergate that are worse than Watergate.
Speaker 1: It's just we've changed how much we care about these things.
Speaker 1: That's right. But he's now saying that does he does
Speaker 1: he think we're just gonna forget that he was involved
Speaker 1: in it? You were. Everybody keeps showing you this, even
Speaker 1: uncomfortably while you're on interview sometimes. So here here is
Speaker 1: here is talking about at the age of fifty six,
Speaker 1: and Jake Tapper talking about journalism.
Speaker 2: So this is like he's just woken up at the
Speaker 2: age of fifty six all of a sudden.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's saying what we've all been saying. And then
Speaker 1: he kept telling us we were wrong. Now now he
Speaker 1: just agrees with us and acted and acts like that
Speaker 1: never happened.
Speaker 5: Okay, So here we go.
Speaker 10: And I think that we need to be skeptical of
Speaker 10: everything that we are told by people in power. And
Speaker 10: I mean that obviously should be the mantra of being
Speaker 10: a journalist to begin with. If your mother tells you
Speaker 10: she loves you, get a second source. But we just
Speaker 10: need to remember that like politicians lie, white houses lie,
Speaker 10: power is an aphrodisiac, and we just need to all
Speaker 10: remember that and not take it face value anything that
Speaker 10: we're talking.
Speaker 3: Apparently journalists lie too.
Speaker 5: I can't even believe what I'm hearing.
Speaker 2: That's like Nixon being like Watergate. This is nothing compared
Speaker 2: to Watergreate. You helped, you were in it. You shamed
Speaker 2: Laura Trump because she suggested that it wasn't a stutter.
Speaker 2: She said, you know, he might be declining a little bit,
Speaker 2: and he acted appalled and tried to shame her, and
Speaker 2: they perpetuated this lie. And now that Biden's out of power,
Speaker 2: he can't do anything to help them, and so they've
Speaker 2: turned their backs on him. It's all just phony.
Speaker 1: Don't don't forget. I don't forget the other little caveat there.
Speaker 1: I have a book to sell too and about it,
Speaker 1: and now I can make money off the very thing
Speaker 1: that I did. I'm now going to just I'm on
Speaker 1: shed light on the on what I was doing in
Speaker 1: my book.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you believe this, I mean.
Speaker 1: So anyway, And it was Pierce Pierce Morgan that interviewed
Speaker 1: him that said that this this is this is a
Speaker 1: separate scandal, maybe even worse, maybe even worse than Watergate.
Speaker 1: So the cover up of Joe Biden's cognitive decline. And
Speaker 1: then everybody keeps playing I know there's a lot of
Speaker 1: clips of him, but they keep playing the clip of
Speaker 1: him getting upset with Trump's daughter in law because she
Speaker 1: said something about the stammering around of Biden. And then
Speaker 1: Tapper just makes up that Biden was a stutter all
Speaker 1: his life, which no one's ever said that, and no
Speaker 1: one's there, and it just gives her a hard time
Speaker 1: from me, even sce jesting that he's on cognitive decline
Speaker 1: and now has a book out saying that it's clear
Speaker 1: they were covering up the cognitive decline of the president.
Speaker 1: It's worse than Watergate. And and you know what, journalism
Speaker 1: is dead. We need to do journalism the way it
Speaker 1: was supposed to be done.
Speaker 2: That's what we've been trying to say.
Speaker 5: I can just.
Speaker 2: Like, whoope that clip from movies. Oh yeah, wooll be
Speaker 2: upset at journalists and the media for lying to her.
Speaker 2: You helped, you were part of that. You you you
Speaker 2: called anybody that was saying the opposite that you called
Speaker 2: us crazy, and conspiracy theorists and the White House called
Speaker 2: it cheap fakes. And it's just the gas lighting. Is
Speaker 2: I know that term is over us, Yes it is,
Speaker 2: but it is. I mean it smells like propane in here,
Speaker 2: the amount of gas lighting that's going on. My goodness.
Speaker 1: Well, and yeah, how about this, I'm gonna I'm done
Speaker 1: with being now upset about it. I'm just gonna say, well,
Speaker 1: thank goodness, now you're finally admitting And I understand all
Speaker 1: the hypocrisy of it and all that, but at least
Speaker 1: I gotta find some word to land. At least I
Speaker 1: can go, well, thank goodness, you find I feel better
Speaker 1: that you keep denying something.
Speaker 3: You're now admitting it, even though you're just trying to
Speaker 3: sell books. I get that's all right.
Speaker 1: Whatever it took for you to say it. I'm good
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know. Also a lot of people have been asking
Speaker 1: me speaking of things that are kind of intriguing right now.
Speaker 1: Of course, over in the podcast world, no one's bigger
Speaker 1: than Joe Rogan. Interesting to now watch this is the
Speaker 1: thing that I like about Joe Rogan. And you've talked
Speaker 1: about this before, Greg, And there's a lot of things
Speaker 1: that I disagree with, but that he's willing to investigate
Speaker 1: things like faith in Christ, and there seems to be
Speaker 1: you know, he's interviewed some he's sat down and listened
Speaker 1: to a lot of people say here's the evidence, because
Speaker 1: we do believe by faith, but that faith is also
Speaker 1: based on a huge body of evidence. Josh McDowell wrote
Speaker 1: a great book called Body of Evidence about that, and
Speaker 1: and you can see Rogan, you know, one of the
Speaker 1: people that he interviews quite often, gave an update that
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan as we speak, not that he's made some
Speaker 1: declaration of faith, but he's now attending which seems to
Speaker 1: be a theologically sound church on a regular basis. And
Speaker 1: he's never been been one that's gone to.
Speaker 5: Church or anything.
Speaker 1: So he's he's seeking And that was that was the
Speaker 1: story of the weekend too. That it's looking more and more,
Speaker 1: you know, he's starting to I've seen some of the
Speaker 1: interviews where he interviews people and they hit the hit
Speaker 1: him with things and some of these you know, discoveries
Speaker 1: that we have in Israel, the archaeological which is a
Speaker 1: tough word, where you find these things that kind of
Speaker 1: substantiate things the Bible had always said, and he's had
Speaker 1: some of those on and he's he's searching pretty intriguing
Speaker 1: facts that seem to have at least ignited a spark
Speaker 1: for him to go further and keep searching. So I
Speaker 1: have something to pray about that somebody with a platform
Speaker 1: that big, if they were to have, you know, a
Speaker 1: redemption story, Yeah, that would be a big one.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's been interesting seeing that kind of wing of people.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: You've seen Jordan Peterson be more public about it.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: And you've seen libertarian Dave Smith. He just did a
Speaker 2: Tucker Tucker Carlson appearance.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 2: And this this guy is a hard line uh libertarian,
Speaker 2: And I agree with some of his stuff and some
Speaker 2: of it not. But he's he was an atheist until
Speaker 2: his child was being born. He was in the hospital.
Speaker 2: He told the story on Tucker talking about how in
Speaker 2: that moment, because he had no control over the outcome
Speaker 2: of his child and his wife felt so helpless, so powerless.
Speaker 2: And he talked about how in that moment he didn't
Speaker 2: think there was a god. He actually knew there was
Speaker 2: a God, and he knew what to say to God,
Speaker 2: to ask and he even began bargaining with God, Please God,
Speaker 2: I'll do this, I'll do that, And he knew how
Speaker 2: to quote unquote bargain. I know we can't really do mean,
Speaker 2: but he was. He was crying out to God and
Speaker 2: the notion of like, God, I'll live a good life,
Speaker 2: Please help my child. It's funny how he was like
Speaker 2: in that moment, and ever since then he's been radically changed,
Speaker 2: which is great to see it. Well in these hugely
Speaker 2: popular podcasts.
Speaker 1: Well, the next thing we got to do, and I've
Speaker 1: seen it some with with with Jordan Peterson, They've got
Speaker 1: to be discipled. They we can't just send them out
Speaker 1: with these giant platforms with bad theology.
Speaker 5: They got to grow up.
Speaker 1: We can't just say, oh, good, they made a decision
Speaker 1: and then leave them with no training. They got to
Speaker 1: be discipled.
Speaker 4: This is the Rick Burgess Show.
Speaker 1: Also, we have something going on that was a little
Speaker 1: bit uncomfortable. Uh, if we were all honest. Anytime family
Speaker 1: comes to work, it's a bit of anxiety, but angst yep,
Speaker 1: and so Adler's dad and his uncle are here. Hey dad, Uh,
Speaker 1: there's Michael Rabbins. Hey Michael, how are you, buddy? I'm great,
Speaker 1: good to see you. Thor thanks man. Ready to put
Speaker 1: these on if you can, Ye want to, and you
Speaker 1: just follow it if it's too loud to your headphones.
Speaker 1: But you're probably like most of us that have been
Speaker 1: around music. Here, ears are over, can I mute? Chris?
Speaker 1: So we we saw something that made us all uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: You provided for the new design of the studio a
Speaker 1: piece of cedar or something. What was that?
Speaker 3: Yes, cedar?
Speaker 1: It was post very nice and you you probably came
Speaker 1: in today, probably talking to your brother in law, excited
Speaker 1: about him seeing it. Right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually looked ready to gesture that direction.
Speaker 1: And when you looked over there, your cedar log is gone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely gone. There's no sign of it.
Speaker 7: There's no no pieces of wood, no bark, nothing, just
Speaker 7: to steel post back in there, the one we took out.
Speaker 3: We worked really hard to take that out.
Speaker 2: I saw.
Speaker 3: Brackets, screws, the whole.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so hard. So uh so we didn't realize till
Speaker 1: we all were here, which is always awkward that maybe
Speaker 1: Dadler did not know what his son Adler had done.
Speaker 1: And I think you asked an uncomfortable question, where's my
Speaker 1: sleaedar log? I did?
Speaker 7: I said, where's the cedar log? Because I knew that
Speaker 7: the Chris sent me a picture of some some Okay,
Speaker 7: I'll give you this. There was some sawdust, a little
Speaker 7: pile at the bottom, and you recognize that as probably
Speaker 7: not my sawdust, because we cleaned it all up and
Speaker 7: something else caused.
Speaker 3: That saw up.
Speaker 7: You talk at the bugs you brought in here, there
Speaker 7: might have been some insects and in the in if.
Speaker 2: You're watching on YouTube when we're talking about part of
Speaker 2: the console. My dad helped me out. It looked cool.
Speaker 2: It was a nice log look, but at the base
Speaker 2: of it was good.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 2: I noticed there was some dust when we first installed
Speaker 2: it out our.
Speaker 3: Out of our woods with you as in mind.
Speaker 2: And so that's perfect vacuum measurement around it. And then
Speaker 2: I look again, like and I realized, like two weeks later, oh,
Speaker 2: there's a whole nother pile of sawdust. And then so
Speaker 2: I take a closer look at it, and it looks
Speaker 2: like this. It looked like a cheese grater. The amount
Speaker 2: of holes that were in that in that bark because
Speaker 2: we brought bugs in here.
Speaker 3: We see there. There are two things you could have done.
Speaker 7: You could have eradicated it completely, the whole lag out
Speaker 7: and not tell your dad about it, or you could
Speaker 7: use in the sect deicide.
Speaker 3: People have a thing called insecticide. You just sprayed.
Speaker 11: Ok K would be very disappointed in you.
Speaker 3: So you threw the whole thing out.
Speaker 2: It was it had it was.
Speaker 3: You could what he said we could.
Speaker 1: I walked by one day and said, I did a
Speaker 1: double take because I remember the cleeder being there, because
Speaker 1: you know, we beautiful. Oh yeah, this smaller one, you know.
Speaker 1: I was fired up and I look and it was
Speaker 1: back to normal, and and I went and asked. He said,
Speaker 1: oh you had.
Speaker 7: Bugs, okay, the day you told me about it. I
Speaker 7: have a second one at the at the house in
Speaker 7: my shop, waiting because there are two posts spots right there,
Speaker 7: one just asking for an another post. I go back
Speaker 7: and I just soak that thing, just the one that's
Speaker 7: my house.
Speaker 4: Is you really?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 7: And I'm watching it now waiting for more little piles
Speaker 7: and there are none that.
Speaker 3: So you should have treated treated that.
Speaker 2: You should have done that with the first one.
Speaker 1: What did you do with it?
Speaker 2: I threw it in the It's probably still sorting right
Speaker 2: out here, Are you serious? It's probably still sitting out there. Look,
Speaker 2: I read Franklin The Turtles all hanging out.
Speaker 3: It's just a little pile of dust.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 2: Down to a baseball bat, now, that's true. Or a toothpick. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: but look I told you about this.
Speaker 1: No you didn't.
Speaker 3: You didn't tell me. You just threw it to us.
Speaker 2: Speaking of RFK, my goodness, clear your throat. Do you
Speaker 2: need a drink of water? What's going on?
Speaker 3: I've been I've been breathing in sexticide.
Speaker 2: By the way, my dad's nickname. You know, you got
Speaker 2: gramp gramp and pop pop and all that stuff. My
Speaker 2: dad chose the name Thor. I love that, which is
Speaker 2: so obnoxious.

Speaker 1: What do you go to you?
Speaker 2: Poppy, Papa Papa?
Speaker 11: Okay, my dad's Thor, and my brother works for a
Speaker 11: tool company by the way, and they have all kinds
Speaker 11: of things under their umbrella, and Thor is actually one
Speaker 11: of those companies.
Speaker 2: And so that's why my dad has a Thor shirt on.
Speaker 2: He didn't just go make it.
Speaker 1: So it's almost like God knew what you were going
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 7: St I'm from Minnesota and I was, you know, and
Speaker 7: there there your name is grandpa Mike. I mean in
Speaker 7: the Midwest, people don't get flashy about stuff.

Speaker 3: You go, that's buddy. I preserved. It looks still, it
Speaker 3: looks excellent.
Speaker 7: It's a little beaten up. We got a wall of wood,
Speaker 7: so there's a little white rim all eggs.

Speaker 3: I was thinking Dadler could take it home, and.
Speaker 7: Yes, I'll take it back. I brought you your batter
Speaker 7: bowl this morning, by the way. You know, the the
Speaker 7: banana pancakes you make at our house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I brought that.
Speaker 5: Back before before the wood came in.

Speaker 3: All rick it fell on your forehead and fell.
Speaker 1: Now I got bugs in my hair, Yeah, my beautiful hair.
Speaker 2: Beautiful anxiety about that being in here right now.
Speaker 1: All right? So so you you said when you found
Speaker 1: out in the Southern culture, you just get to pick
Speaker 1: your grandparent name. That's when you opened the door to
Speaker 1: this name.
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, one day, you guys know Cynthia, and Cynthia
Speaker 7: just can be abrasive, you know, she's just in your face.
Speaker 7: And I said, Cynthia, if I get to pick, I
Speaker 7: just came up one day. I said, if I get
Speaker 7: to pick, I'm going with Thor.
Speaker 3: And she says, you can't go with Thor. Oh, no,
Speaker 3: you get to pick. So you know, if the rules
Speaker 3: are wide open, I get to pick. I'm going with Thor.
Speaker 7: And I was joking, of course, but our kids played
Speaker 7: my played my hand and taught Lily, our firstborn grandchild.
Speaker 7: So one of her first words was Thor, So.
Speaker 1: Now you're in Yeah.
Speaker 7: I was walking, she was three or three years old,
Speaker 7: when we were taking a little walk and I was
Speaker 7: holding her hand. She said, hey, Thor said, yeah, Lily,
Speaker 7: what she said, you know, a superhero copied your name.
Speaker 1: You're going to have to be a superhero to keep
Speaker 1: these bugs out of here.

Speaker 1: as soon as you survived. They were after him for
Speaker 1: uh trying he was trying to access his gun once
Speaker 1: he came up out of the water.
Speaker 3: He didn't do that.

Speaker 1: they got there, they he became difficult to deal with.
Speaker 1: And he said they tried to give a life vest
Speaker 1: to him when he jumped in the lake, I guess
Speaker 1: running from them, and he passed. He took a pass
Speaker 1: on the life vest I got this and he was
Speaker 1: treading water. Then then then he said he growled when
Speaker 1: being approached because he's so high. A meth one alligator
Speaker 1: approached and bit his arm, which made him want to
Speaker 1: get out of the water. Obviously, so he gets bit
Speaker 1: by an alligator, comes out of the water and attempts
Speaker 1: to go to his gun and gets and gets killed.
Speaker 1: So they went from to throw a life reserver to
Speaker 1: shooting him. Yeah that's right. Well, yeah we went You
