Jakson Rick & Bubba's Greatest Hits - Ep. 83 täydellinen litterointi

of it. But– Was it the cool air he got excited? No, no, I thought that might be. I mean, this time he went rogue. I mean, instant rogue. 00:02:55 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:02:56 Speaker 3: Instant rogue. So he took off, and usually even if you call him, he'll come back. I'm calling. I'm doing everything. Now, of course, he's done this when I'm 20 minutes from a conference call. I need to be home. And I'm the only one at the house. So, you know, my first reaction is, may he find a good home. 00:03:18 Speaker 2: Okay. 00:03:19 Speaker 3: And, and, and, and we're done. And I, I'll go as far in these moments when I'm frustrated, I'll go as far as to think about the, or the sea. Tasmo will have to act disappointed, but really won't be big. Love will be disappointed. Probably as close to something real as any of us would be. But by the time he goes back from fall break, he's probably over it. And, and now the dog is living with somebody else, you know what I mean? And I'm, and I'm done with this. So I've had those kinds of crazy thoughts. And, um, But I know that the boys are coming home, and I know he loves the boys, and my wife will want the boys to see their dog for the five to ten minutes they'll care about it. And so I know this is not the time to go into that plan. There was a time when one of our seniors in the neighborhood found him, and he and that woman were living happily ever after, and they were meant for each other. And why we took him back away from her is still beyond me. That was a win-win for everybody. And so then I try what I hope. Cause I'm old and you know, I don't want to go all the way down to the bottom of the yard, go out of the gate and go into the neighborhood. I don't want to do that. I want him to just come back. I don't want to kind of put that kind of effort into it. So finally I see some little kids playing across the street and I see the little girl and I'm trying not to be the creepy neighbor. You know, mom says, don't talk to strangers. They moved in not long ago and they actually have some of the, the play stuff we used to have in the backyard and we just donated to them for their kids. So we, we, you know, we know who they are. And I said, Hey, can you, can I ask you something? Now I've had to walk down to the end of the yard. Now I'm at the, I'm at the gate, uh, you know, the fence. And I said, is my crazy dog in your backyard? And she goes, yes. And I said, can you go get him? 00:05:13 Speaker 5: Okay. 00:05:14 Speaker 3: And she goes back there for a while, but she never comes back. And in a minute, She comes out again. I said, yeah, but the dog. He's back here trying to get our chickens. And I'm like, oh, gosh. So now I've got to go out of the gate. 00:05:31 Speaker 4: He's a chicken wrangler, huh? 00:05:32 Speaker 3: So when I round the corner in the backyard, now I'm the weird guy in everybody's yard. 00:05:36 Speaker 6: Right. 00:05:36 Speaker 3: Okay. 00:05:37 Speaker 2: Not my yard. 00:05:38 Speaker 5: Not my yard. 00:05:39 Speaker 3: You know, the conference call. All the different kids are showing up at different times, getting off various buses. The last thing your parents want is to pull up in a strange bearded mansion in your yard as your kids get off the school bus. I'm sorry, that's creepy. 00:05:49 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:05:49 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to see that. 00:05:51 Speaker 3: So I round the corner and there's a chicken coop. So he can't get to the chickens. But he's completely lost his mind. I'm talking about he's not aware of anything outside the world of these chickens inside this coop, and he is circling it, chasing the chickens to various corners of this coop, and he's completely lost his mind. I mean, he's glossed over. He doesn't even know. 00:06:14 Speaker 5: He's back to his spine. 00:06:15 Speaker 7: Yes. 00:06:16 Speaker 2: He's a wolf. 00:06:17 Speaker 3: In his mind, he is part of his canine ancestors, and he's gone from a glorified stuffed animal to a chicken killer. 00:06:25 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:06:25 Speaker 3: And I mean, he just, he's almost, and I'm thinking, how delusional are you right now? These chickens could probably kill you. 00:06:31 Speaker 6: Right. 00:06:31 Speaker 3: You know what I mean? I mean, if they got out, they would probably peck you on the head and you'd run for your life. Nobody's buying this presentation you have of the great chicken killer. So I holler at him. He doesn't respond. I mean, he's completely glazed over. 00:06:44 Speaker 1: Give me that holler. 00:06:45 Speaker 2: What do you sound? 00:06:46 Speaker 6: Buddy! 00:06:47 Speaker 3: That's what I normally do. 00:06:48 Speaker 5: That's what it is? 00:06:48 Speaker 1: Okay, with the slap? 00:06:49 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:06:50 Speaker 3: Clap? Yeah, and so, and normally that is the end of it. But not now because he's glossed over. Have you ever seen him at that level? 00:06:58 Speaker 2: No. 00:06:58 Speaker 3: It was like a chicken addict. 00:07:00 Speaker 1: Are you also trying to control yourself in front of the kids to where you don't? 00:07:03 Speaker 5: I am. 00:07:04 Speaker 3: Trying to stay calm. 00:07:06 Speaker 4: But Buddy ain't big enough to eat a chicken. 00:07:10 Speaker 6: No. 00:07:10 Speaker 4: The chicken might hurt him. 00:07:11 Speaker 3: This whole thing is delusional on Buddy's part. He's living a dream. He can't pull this off. He's not the chicken dog. I finally have to go over and just As he comes around for like lap 100, you know what I mean? Because it's been a while since he's been over there doing this. I just grab him up. And when I grab him up, his tongue is sticking out. He's like. And he was almost like, did you see that? And I was like, hey, man, nobody's impressed by this. You're acting like an idiot. And then I think he can understand me. 00:07:40 Speaker 1: Right. 00:07:41 Speaker 3: You know, like that. 00:07:41 Speaker 2: He's just. 00:07:44 Speaker 3: And I'm like, no, no, no. You're going back. This is not

good for you. This is a bad dog. 00:07:51 Speaker 5: Very bad. 00:07:52 Speaker 3: And now I realize if these people are going to have these chickens, every few times when he goes out, he's going to dash over those chickens. Oh, yeah. That's going to become my norm now. And you know what I don't like is hassling with a dog. So I've got to go grab the dog out from the chickens every time he comes out to go to the bathroom now. So now I've got to come up with some way to do something about this gate. 00:08:18 Speaker 8: Yeah. 00:08:18 Speaker 3: You can't even have a. 00:08:20 Speaker 5: Can't have a backyard. 00:08:20 Speaker 3: You can't even have a low-hassle dog. Now he thinks he's the great chicken dog. I wish you'd seen when I set him down. I'm like. 00:08:29 Speaker 4: Did somebody feed him chicken and get him fired up about it? 00:08:32 Speaker 3: Some instinct clicked on him. He heard him. He likes chicken like you, Greg. He heard that and, buddy. 00:08:38 Speaker 5: But he was gone. 00:08:39 Speaker 3: That was it. It's more like this. Because I was like, where are your chickens? He was like shot. He looked like a little hairy cannonball. Knew where he was going. 00:08:51 Speaker 6: Yeah. 00:08:51 Speaker 3: And he's put the weight on. He's just getting older, so he can't hang. He can't do this. I get him. He's coughing. He can't even believe what he's done. He don't have this. You know what I mean? 00:09:01 Speaker 2: He can't. 00:09:02 Speaker 3: Oh, he was. 00:09:03 Speaker 5: I was like, see? 00:09:04 Speaker 3: This is what you get. He's learning now, though. 00:09:06 Speaker 5: He's out of breath. 00:09:07 Speaker 3: You're too old for this. 00:09:08 Speaker 4: He dreamed about them chickens last night. Oh, yeah. 00:09:10 Speaker 5: You don't have the cardio for this. 00:09:12 Speaker 6: Yeah. 00:09:12 Speaker 3: And I said, in a minute, all I got to do is produce a dog bone, and you'll completely forget about chickens. This is not impressive. Oh, what do you got over there? A milk bone. And see, you're already off the chicken. Get your breath and get back on your place. 00:09:25 Speaker 2: Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba. 00:09:28 Speaker 3: Curb Street, our intern, has put someone on hold, and it just simply says, Crystal, first time to ever call the show, stuck in Atlanta traffic. 00:09:36 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:09:37 Speaker 1: Oh, bless her. 00:09:38 Speaker 3: And for some reason, I just kind of want to show mercy and take that call, because maybe... She's like, I got to do something. Crystal, are you okay? 00:09:46 Speaker 6: Yes, I'm all right. 00:09:47 Speaker 3: I'm just trying to make up some side work, really, pay my bills. So you called and you're stuck in Atlanta traffic? Yeah, I was listening to the radio. and I heard you guys try to call someone else, and they didn't answer. So I figured I'd try to get you on the phone. 00:10:06 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. 00:10:08 Speaker 3: I've actually never had a radio station answer me,

so. 00:10:12 Speaker 4: This is kind of cool. 00:10:13 Speaker 3: Okay. So you've been calling various shows. 00:10:16 Speaker 4: Crystal, what station are you listening at? 00:10:18 Speaker 3: This is my good. It's 107.9. 00:10:22 Speaker 9: It's one of my favorite, actually. 00:10:26 Speaker 3: So 107.9 in the Atlanta area? 00:10:30 Speaker 6: Yes, sir. 00:10:31 Speaker 3: Okay, so do you listen to that station every day? 00:10:33 Speaker 5: I do. 00:10:35 Speaker 3: And what show is on that station?

She's not listening to us. 00:15:33 Speaker 6: No. 00:15:34 Speaker 5: And the stations that she mentioned, there is currently a Rick and Sasha station. 00:15:40 Speaker 8: In the morning. 00:15:41 Speaker 3: There it is. 00:15:41 Speaker 5: And then I think the Ricky Smiley show. So she's got the Rick part right. 00:15:46 Speaker 3: I think she and Rick and Bubba just came up. 00:15:48 Speaker 5: I don't know. 00:15:48 Speaker 3: But how did she get this number? 00:15:50 Speaker 5: That's the key. 00:15:50 Speaker 1: I gave you that. 00:15:51 Speaker 3: And how did she call this show and think she's listening to it in traffic? 00:15:55 Speaker 2: Right. 00:15:55 Speaker 5: That I can't help you with. 00:15:56 Speaker 1: Bubba goes by Sasha sometimes. 00:15:58 Speaker 5: Yeah, just on the weekends. 00:16:00 Speaker 6: But. 00:16:01 Speaker 4: You know, I'm looking here at the Georgia stations, and the frequency she's giving me, I can't put it together. I couldn't make it fit. 00:16:07 Speaker 3: I think she was trying to type in Rick and Sasha, and she was tying it. 00:16:10 Speaker 5: It came up. She could have done that. That's very good, Greg. 00:16:14 Speaker 2: She could have. 00:16:15 Speaker 3: Because it's definitely not us. 00:16:17 Speaker 5: There's Bubba there. 00:16:18 Speaker 2: Look. 00:16:18 Speaker 3: There he is. Bubba, look at you right there. 00:16:21 Speaker 1: Now, if she's listening to 107.9, then it's the smiley. 00:16:23 Speaker 7: Yeah. 00:16:23 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:16:24 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:16:28 Speaker 4: Well, we got, what, one, two, three, what, seven, eight stations in Georgia, but I can't seem to make any of them work. 00:16:35 Speaker 6: No. 00:16:35 Speaker 3: I thought about the big dog at one point. 00:16:39 Speaker 5: Yeah, I did, too. I thought it might be. 00:16:41 Speaker 4: This time of year, though, you do get some strange skips on the FM band, so get some ducking going on the color. 00:16:48 Speaker 3: Be careful. 00:16:49 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. 00:16:50 Speaker 5: Different layers of air, different temperatures. It gets in there like a pipe. 00:16:53

Bubba wore the one if Steve Jobs' hands are cold. 00:17:09 Speaker 5: Has the warmer. 00:17:10 Speaker 3: All right. 00:17:15 Speaker 5: Well, that was weird. 00:17:16 Speaker 9: Yeah. 00:17:17 Speaker 3: All righty. 00:17:19 Speaker 1: Weird, but I enjoyed it.

A one, a two, a three. 00:20:39 Speaker 2: Take me out to the ballgame. 00:20:44 Speaker 3: Take me out to the crowd. 00:20:49 Speaker 2: Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack. 00:20:55 Speaker 6: Me not caring. 00:20:58 Speaker 5: Me not caring. 00:21:00 Speaker 2: Look at Powell. 00:21:02 Speaker 3: I don't know what to do. If they don't win, it's a shame. 00:21:10 Speaker 2: For it's one, two, three. 00:21:15 Speaker 7: Uh-oh. 00:21:16 Speaker 2: Had a few. Hope. 00:21:21 Speaker 3: It wasn't a special day, was it? I thought Cookie Monster, I've heard much worse than that. 00:21:27 Speaker 5: Oh, yeah. 00:21:28 Speaker 1: Y'all missed it there. He said, now let's get you some cookies. 00:21:32 Speaker 4: It's funny to see just, you know, a blue puppet up there where everybody sings from holding a microphone. 00:21:38 Speaker 3: Well, the beauty of the Muppet design is that the ones that they do, that the hands operate, it's two people working the same puppet. 00:21:44 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:21:45 Speaker 3: So their hands can do all this. And now, is that still Frank Oz, I guess, doing that? Surely he's out of the business. You think he is? My goodness, Rick. He's been around for a while. 00:21:52 Speaker 5: We were little kids. 00:21:53 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't know if it's still him or not, but it sounded like how Cookie Monster's always sounded. They got a good sound to like. 00:21:59 Speaker 2: If it's not. 00:21:59 Speaker 5: They did. Oh, he was dead on. 00:22:01 Speaker 1: Right after that, Craig Kimbrell made his debut with the Cubs and got his first– In his first appearance, got a save. They won 9-7, so it was a good day for him. 00:22:11 Speaker 3: So who was this guy? Craig Kimbrell. Used to pitch for the Braves. Yeah, used to pitch for the Braves. 00:22:15 Speaker 5: He's an Alabama boy. 00:22:16 Speaker 6: Oh, okay. 00:22:17 Speaker 5: He's from this state. 00:22:18 Speaker 1: And there was a big discussion on where he would go. He went to the Cubs and in his first appearance helped the team out. 00:22:25 Speaker 8: Now, I think Cookie Monster did a phenomenal job, and I enjoyed watching that. But this morning, this morning I walked in to Speedy just playing it and just hearing it, not knowing it's Cookie Monster, and it was awful. 00:22:37 Speaker 5: But I enjoyed that. That brought joy to me. 00:22:39 Speaker 4: I wanted him to see him go nuts at the end of it. 00:22:42 Speaker 3: He just destroys the whole box. 00:22:45

Speaker 4: Yeah, throwing cookies everywhere. He's a violent cookie. 00:22:48 Speaker 3: And his color blue is kind of Cubs blue. 00:22:51 Speaker 7: It is. 00:22:51 Speaker 5: That's a good shot. 00:22:52 Speaker 9: Cubbies. 00:22:53 Speaker 3: The Cubbies. But we've heard some, Ozzie. We've heard some that were absolutely terrible. Jeff Gordon was bad. I will say that Cookie Monster, really, if you look at the group of people, there are celebrities that have sang it, not people who can really sing. 00:23:16 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:23:16 Speaker 3: I think he held his own. 00:23:17 Speaker 5: Yeah. He brought it, for sure. 00:23:19 Speaker 3: He did. 00:23:19 Speaker 5: He may have been one of the better ones. 00:23:22 Speaker 3: Really. Can you imagine– so here's how– let's get in the real world because for a minute I do– that's why they're good at what they do. For a minute I thought Cookie Monster was his own thing. 00:23:32 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:23:33 Speaker 3: So what we have are people. So we got somebody that's got to concentrate on doing the hands so I can hold the mic. 00:23:38 Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. 00:23:39 Speaker 3: And whomever's doing the voice of Cookie Monsters now, I know Frank Oz was the guy, the same one who did Miss Piggy and all that, was the one who did it and also did Star Wars, what's the little, Yoda. But anyway, so whomever's doing it, they've got a microphone themselves. So I got, the puppet's microphone was just a prop. 00:23:59 Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's funny. 00:24:01 Speaker 3: Yeah, so he's down here, but he's now doing the mouth. 00:24:04 Speaker 5: You gotta do a lot of this. 00:24:05 Speaker 3: And having to sing into the microphone. They probably had him mocked. I bet they had him mine. That'd probably be easier for your puppet guy because that's what they do. 00:24:12 Speaker 6: Headset. 00:24:13 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:24:14 Speaker 4: But how, you know, you wonder, how is he sitting under there? How do you stay comfortable? I mean, if you're in a bind, that would be hard to do and sing. 00:24:21 Speaker 3: Right. That's why he's a professional puppeteer. You know how there's certain things that your mind sees them. It's like it's so taken back by what it's seen. 00:24:31 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:24:31 Speaker 3: You can't quite grab it. Have you ever just seen one of those deals where they'll just let you see the people? and they're running around with those Muppets all up in here, and they're running. 00:24:38 Speaker 5: Oh, I know. 00:24:39 Speaker 3: If you ever can see the people in the pub at the same time, you don't know where to look. I mean, it really kind of blows your mind. What about when they show the guy inside of Big Bird and how he's– Oh, no. Have you ever seen that documentary? There's a Big Bird documentary. 00:24:51 Speaker 2: That's weird. 00:24:51 Speaker 3: I've never seen that. Because this guy who did Big Bird the longest, I mean, like for a long time, when you look and he's just walking around at whatever they're shooting– whether it be Sesame Street or a movie, you know, these movies they did. 00:25:03 Speaker 1: Follow that bird. 00:25:04 Speaker 3: Yes, Greg, when he's on the set. Greg, I want you to picture. He's on the set, and he has. Oh, really? 00:25:11 Speaker 1: I didn't realize that's how it's done. 00:25:12 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, he has the legs always on because they just set the body over him. 00:25:17 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:25:17 Speaker 3: But he's sitting there, like, getting a drink, like, talking to people, and he's got those bird legs on. That's pretty funny. 00:25:24 Speaker 1: I didn't know he had his. 00:25:25 Speaker 3: I didn't know that. 00:25:26 Speaker 2: Wow. 00:25:26 Speaker 1: Does his arm not fall asleep? 00:25:28 Speaker 4: Get up and show us how you were in sleep. 00:25:30 Speaker 5: I mean, his arms look like it'd go numb up there. 00:25:33 Speaker 3: Yeah, you'd be talking doing this, right? 00:25:35 Speaker 5: You think they could have that electronic? 00:25:37 Speaker 4: He could be doing it down here somewhere. 00:25:39 Speaker 3: That's selling out. 00:25:40 Speaker 1: Which character from our show would we send to go sing? 00:25:43 Speaker 5: Puppeteering by wire. 00:25:45 Speaker 1: Could any of our characters sing this? 00:25:47 Speaker 3: Oh, you're talking about things that we make up? 00:25:49 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:25:51 Speaker 1: I'd like to see Confused American take a run at it. 00:25:54 Speaker 3: Rick, you got the shirt on. 00:25:55 Speaker 5: I would love to see. 00:25:59 Speaker 3: That. 00:26:00 Speaker 5: There he is, Rick. 00:26:00 Speaker 1: Look. 00:26:01 Speaker 3: All you have to do is sing the first line. See him standing there with the legs on? 00:26:04 Speaker 2: Uh-huh. 00:26:05 Speaker 3: Who's Santa Claus beside him? 00:26:06 Speaker 2: I do not know. 00:26:07 Speaker 3: I do not know. 00:26:08 Speaker 2: That's the handler. 00:26:09 Speaker 3: Look at the mics and everything strapped to him and all the stuff they got to do. Look, being Big Bird's not easy. 00:26:13 Speaker 2: No, it's not. 00:26:14 Speaker 5: Hey, you think that's bad? 00:26:15 Speaker 3: Try being Snuffleupagus. 00:26:17 Speaker 2: Oh, boy. 00:26:18 Speaker 5: On all fours. 00:26:19 Speaker 3: I never really understood that kid. 00:26:20 Speaker 2: I didn't either. 00:26:21 Speaker 3: He sounded like he was talking through a tube off a vacuum cleaner. 00:26:24 Speaker 1: I hear you, weak voice. 00:26:25 Speaker 3: What about when the Muppets, and what about when the Muppets, they'd have those, and I guess in the big bird genre, you know, do you remember those big old things that come out and had the big giant mouth and they're big furry monsters? 00:26:36 Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah. 00:26:36 Speaker 3: Those things were huge. 00:26:38 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:26:38 Speaker 3: Do you remember that? And they'd come out and they'd have the big mouth going. 00:26:40 Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. 00:26:40 Speaker 3: And then

what I didn't get is why they weren't always committed to to the same presentation. You know, some of theirs, their hands could handle things, some of them they couldn't. You know, some of those did the sticks, like Kermit and all that, you know? 00:26:52 Speaker 2: I know. 00:26:53 Speaker 3: It's interesting. But I'm the kind of person that's very sensitive when a voice changes. I don't think Kermit sounds like Jim Henson anymore. 00:27:01 Speaker 2: I can tell. 00:27:02 Speaker 3: Mel Blanc's son, I'm sorry, not as good as Mel Blanc. I can pick up when the Looney Tunes now. 00:27:07 Speaker 4: You could tell even when we were kids when they would change the voice out. 00:27:11 Speaker 2: At a time. 00:27:12 Speaker 3: They're snuffle up with us. 00:27:13 Speaker 5: There he is. 00:27:14 Speaker 3: Now we're going to be tough. 00:27:15 Speaker 6: Uh-uh. 00:27:16 Speaker 3: Are you serious? 00:27:17 Speaker 5: Oh, my gracious. No, uh-uh. Wow, the view if you're behind is tough. 00:27:21 Speaker 2: Bubba Rick and Bubba. 00:27:25 Speaker 3: Grab that. Now, in the break, in the kitchen, you know, somebody asked what characters could sing Take Me Out to the Ballgame. Bubba was giving us a pretty good Bernie Sanders. 00:27:34 Speaker 5: I'm working on it. 00:27:35 Speaker 3: Yeah, in there. I need to work on it. 00:27:37 Speaker 2: It was good. 00:27:38 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, there's a couple in there that I thought it's got potential. 00:27:43 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:27:45 Speaker 3: Especially your commentary on tickets and all that. You've got to. 00:27:48 Speaker 1: Work that in. 00:27:50 Speaker 3: I like that. Can you give us just a little bit of that? 00:27:53 Speaker 9: Take me up to the ball game. These tickets are way too high. These tickets should be free. They are in Canada. 00:28:04 Speaker 5: They are in Canada. 00:28:06 Speaker 9: Buy me some in the Cracker Jacks. 00:28:10 Speaker 5: Buy Cracker Jacks. 00:28:11 Speaker 4: They're $ 40. 00:28:14 Speaker 3: They should be free. What the hell? 00:28:17 Speaker 5: That's good. 00:28:19 Speaker 3: That's good. 00:28:21 Speaker 5: Look, every. 00:28:24 Speaker 3: Every time since what he said last night, always reference Canada. 00:28:28 Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. 00:28:29 Speaker 3: North of the border. 00:28:32 Speaker 5: You can go to a baseball game for six bucks. 00:28:35 Speaker 3: And they won the World Series anyway. Oh, that's funny. Yeah, so that might be a little sad. I mean, if you're letting people come sing. 00:28:44 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just thinking about the character of the show. 00:28:47 Speaker 9: Take me out to the ball game. 00:28:50 Speaker 4: Take me out. They use bats in this baseball, don't they? 00:28:55 Speaker 5: Mmm, I love bats. 00:29:01 Speaker 4: And we want the home team to go nuts. 00:29:07 Speaker 3: That's shot potential, y'all. 00:29:08 Speaker 5: That really does. 00:29:09 Speaker 1: Glover Slugger, I love him. What if Tim Tebow was. 00:29:14 Speaker 2: To do it, Greg? 00:29:16 Speaker 3: He's playing. 00:29:16 Speaker 5: He can't sing. 00:29:17 Speaker 1: Wouldn't he say it's the greatest version ever? 00:29:21 Speaker 5: I've got to work on mine. 00:29:22 Speaker 3: I'm not confident in it. Well, Greg, one time you were all about it. Yeah, I'm just not confident. 00:29:26 Speaker 5: All right, here. 00:29:26 Speaker 3: Wait a minute. 00:29:27 Speaker 5: Hang on. Well, you're not. 00:29:28 Speaker 3: Greg, our impressions are never perfect. 00:29:30 Speaker 4: This is the, you know, like for the group sing, they give you the pipe. What do they call that thing? I want to call it a peace pipe. I know that ain't the name. What do you call that thing? 00:29:39 Speaker 5: The little tone? 00:29:40 Speaker 3: What is that thing called? 00:29:41 Speaker 5: It's got a name. What is it, Adam? 00:29:43 Speaker 3: It gives you the key we're singing in. What's that thing called? 00:29:46 Speaker 5: I don't think he's in there. 00:29:47 Speaker 3: Does anybody know what it's called? He's from some musical. Something pot. All right, Greg, you're listening right here. 00:29:52 Speaker 7: Hey, this is Tim Tebow, and you're listening to Rick and Bubba Show. Just two amazing guys. 00:29:56 Speaker 1: That did help, didn't it? Rick and Bubba Show. 00:29:58 Speaker 3: Because, you know, he doesn't finish. 00:29:59 Speaker 2: He runs out of air. 00:30:01 Speaker 5: Oh, you got a weak voice. 00:30:02 Speaker 7: Hey, this is Tim Tebow, and you're listening to Rick and Bubba Show. Just two amazing guys. 00:30:07 Speaker 3: Two amazing guys. 00:30:08 Speaker 2: Rick and Bubba Show. 00:30:09 Speaker 3: So if you were going to sing the Take Me Out to the Ball Game, what would you sing? I don't know. Greg, you've got to tell them it's going. 00:30:15 Speaker 5: To be the best. 00:30:16 Speaker 1: Come on, Greg, let's hear it. 00:30:17 Speaker 3: That's it. 00:30:18 Speaker 7: Hey, this is Tim Tebow, and you're listening to Rick and Bubba Show. They're two amazing guys. 00:30:23 Speaker 3: It does help a little bit. Do it, Greg. There's so many we can do. 00:30:28 Speaker 2: Oh, man, Greg. 00:30:29 Speaker 5: Oh, I'd like to know if Nopi was okay and could do it. 00:30:32 Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, he would. 00:30:33 Speaker 3: Nopi could sing it. Maybe he could call in. Hey, I mean, I could sing it. 00:30:38 Speaker 5: Pitch pop, by the way. 00:30:40 Speaker 3: Hey, that's it, pitch pop. Hey, I coached baseball, you know, in Clanton down there for years. You can't have nothing. You can't even have a win with the Cubs. You just thought you could have something. 00:30:54 Speaker 5: Sing it, Gary. 00:30:55 Speaker 3: Take me out. Hey, take me out to the ball game and buy me some. Hey, I mean, Al Rio bought me Cracker Jacks. I didn't even have to buy them. So, Nopi? 00:31:09 Speaker 8: This is Nopi. 00:31:11 Speaker 5: Nopi, where are you at? 00:31:14 Speaker 2: I don't know. 00:31:18 Speaker 5: You're lost, right? 00:31:19 Speaker 6:

Yeah, somebody told me, Paul. 00:31:22 Speaker 3: Yeah, we were wondering if you could sing Take Me Out to the Ballgame. 00:31:26 Speaker 1: Take. 00:31:28 Speaker 9: Me out to the ball game. 00:31:31 Speaker 2: Just take me anywhere. 00:31:32 Speaker 3: I'm all by myself. 00:31:34 Speaker 5: Right, right. 00:31:36 Speaker 9: All you people here, all you friends and family watching game, I'm by myself. 00:31:41 Speaker 1: Take me. Take me. 00:31:43 Speaker 6: Take me. 00:31:43 Speaker 2: You missed it. 00:31:44 Speaker 5: Speedy, you missed it. No, pick off. 00:31:54 Speaker 1: I always miss him calling. 00:31:56 Speaker 3: You always miss him calling. He just said, look, don't take me out of the bus. Just take me anywhere. 00:32:00 Speaker 2: I'm lost. 00:32:01 Speaker 5: Well, poor kid. 00:32:04 Speaker 3: Just when I thought. 00:32:06 Speaker 2: What is this? 00:32:07 Speaker 3: Okay, hang on just a minute. 00:32:08 Speaker 2: Let's see. 00:32:09 Speaker 3: Jim, from listening online or listening to the tune-in app, go ahead. 00:32:15 Speaker 5: Yeah, you've got to. 00:32:16 Speaker 7: Do Car Wash Joe singing the. 00:32:18 Speaker 2: Cracker Jack song. 00:32:20 Speaker 6: Hey! 00:32:21 Speaker 5: The Cracker Jack song? Oh, it's got Cracker Jacks in it. I just want to say. 00:32:30 Speaker 6: Go Cubbies. 00:32:32 Speaker 3: Somebody get out there on the marquee. Cubbies number one. 00:32:39 Speaker 5: Y'all sing it with me after, and then we're going to shut it down. 00:32:42 Speaker 2: Hey. Hey. 00:32:45 Speaker 8: Hey. 00:32:49 Speaker 1: Run it out of breath. 00:32:51 Speaker 10: Somebody bring me some cracker jack. 00:32:55 Speaker 5: It's Rick Burgess, sir. 00:32:57 Speaker 3: Tell anybody not to give me some cracker jack. 00:33:00 Speaker 6: Shut her down. 00:33:04 Speaker 3: Shut her down. 00:33:05 Speaker 5: Go ahead and shut her down. Has Dickie done it? 00:33:09 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I ain't singing for nobody but the Tide. I don't give a real Tide about the cubbies. I sing for Saban, I sing for the Tide, and I sing in honor of the Bear Bright and Gene Stallings. I don't sing for nobody else. Don't sing for Shula. I do not sing for that guy that came in and went to the strip club, Mikey Price. His last name had a lot to say, didn't it? What's the price? 00:33:39 Speaker 5: Wow. 00:33:40 Speaker 1: So this is Dickie talking to Wrigley, huh? 00:33:42 Speaker 3: That's what you would say? It's me saying welcome. If the Cubs would hire Saban, you'd win more than you have. You wouldn't have gone so long without a championship. He'd have had a championship here at Wrigley in multiples. You won one, well, we've got to wait another 200 years for the next one. You get Saban as the manager of this club, and I might come up here and sing, and you might win some ballgames. Y'all, thanks for being with us. Somebody give me some Cracker Jack. 00:34:07 Speaker 2: Rotate. 00:34:09 Speaker 3: Oh, it's Miss Piggy. 00:34:10 Speaker 5: Sing the peanut

song. 00:34:11 Speaker 2: He referred. 00:34:12 Speaker 3: He did. 00:34:12 Speaker 5: He's the only guy in the world. 00:34:14 Speaker 3: Y'all realize the title of Take Me Out to the Ballgame. 00:34:17 Speaker 2: Miss Piggy! 00:34:34 Speaker 3: Somebody said, was it Ed Argeron or was it Cookie Buster? That's pretty good. Ed Argeron. Bottom of the hour. More of the Rick and Bubba show coming up next. 00:34:48 Speaker 2: Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba. 00:34:52 Speaker 3: I don't know how to break this to everybody. If you do not vet your, it's not immoral, it's not evil to vet a border when people are coming to your country so you know whether they're sick. You know whether they're terrorists. You know, fill in the blank. And that's not a moral thing to do. So if we're going to have a discussion on, hey, where in the world did measles come from? How's that back in here? 00:35:15 Speaker 6: What happened? 00:35:17 Speaker 3: I mean, then we're going to also have to say, I tell you what also has to be to come to the table is, people are coming in for who knows where. I mean, that could possibly be it. 00:35:26 Speaker 5: It could, right. 00:35:27 Speaker 3: You know, we're worried about our own citizens not being vaccinated. What about people coming here that we know are not vaccinated from who knows where? They could be coming from Measles City, USA. Hey, the measles are back! Somebody got polo too. You know, and you're just like, I tell you. 00:35:46 Speaker 2: What, where'd the hooping call come from? There's people hooping. 00:35:51 Speaker 3: I tell you where it came from. It could be that we'd let people come in here from who we don't know where they came from. And they're not vetted out. Couldn't that be part of it? This doesn't sound complicated to me. 00:36:02 Speaker 5: Rick, do you know too? 00:36:03 Speaker 3: We need to let them in. They might get us sick. Well, we never thought of that. But they ought to be able to come in here, by golly. Well, then don't complain when you got. 00:36:11 Speaker 5: The whooping cough. 00:36:14 Speaker 3: They're here. 00:36:18 Speaker 2: Cough away. 00:36:20 Speaker 4: You know what's also disturbing about this? 00:36:24 Speaker 3: I tell you, it's probably Jenny McCarthy. 00:36:26 Speaker 5: No, it could be that! 00:36:31 Speaker 4: Do you realize in the year 2000 they declared measles dead in this country? There were no cases. 00:36:36 Speaker 5: Completely eradicated. I wonder how it came back. 00:36:41 Speaker 4: What the H happened? 00:36:45 Speaker 3: Are you from border control? No, I think people are going to come in wherever they want. Who are we to deny them? Why are you being evil? Where did the whooping cough come from? I came back. Let me say this. Oh, this is good. And I'm going to calm down here because I don't need to do a heart attack. 00:37:02 Speaker 1: Give me a confused drink. Give me a confused drink. What's going on? 00:37:07 Speaker 5: Your eyes, wouldn't you do that? 00:37:08

Speaker 1: That confused drink. 00:37:10 Speaker 3: Bubba has said, too, the new glasses have made my eyes bigger. 00:37:13 Speaker 4: When you open your eyes, it amplifies them even more. 00:37:16 Speaker 2: Yeah, listen. 00:37:17 Speaker 5: And you don't open them much. Confused drink. 00:37:21 Speaker 3: But anyway, so. 00:37:22 Speaker 5: Say what the H one more time. 00:37:25 Speaker 3: What the H is going on? 00:37:27 Speaker 5: You got to have your shoulders up. 00:37:28 Speaker 1: What's up? 00:37:30 Speaker 5: I would explode if I had Speedy playing the tuba and him doing this at the same time. Hey, love wins. 00:37:37 Speaker 4: Love wins. 00:37:38 Speaker 5: I don't want to live. 00:37:40 Speaker 3: In a country of wolves. All right, so. But let's go back to this again. If you believe, this is it. This will solve it. 00:37:48 Speaker 5: This is it. 00:37:49 Speaker 3: If you believe that your own citizens. that have stopped vaccinating their kids contributed to this, then you have to believe the border contributes as well. You can't have both. No, it's absolutely both. You can't say I'm anti my own citizens, but I'm fine with these people. 00:38:05 Speaker 5: You can't do that. 00:38:06 Speaker 3: If you want to be consistent, say I don't like these people not vaccinating their kids, and I don't like there's people coming in here that we don't know where they're from. We think those two contribute. You can't pick one or the other, but the liberal media will. But the liberal media will say, I'll tell you what the problem is. And these people probably go to Christian schools. 00:38:23 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:38:23 Speaker 3: And they probably homeschool. I got news for you. I'm not afraid of those people like I am people coming from who knows where. 00:38:31 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:38:32 Speaker 3: I'm not afraid of either. I'm just saying that. But if you want to be concerned, you've got to be concerned about that other situation, too. You can't have it both ways. 00:38:38 Speaker 1: No, you can't. 00:38:40 Speaker 3: I'm going to ask Jenny McCarthy. It's probably her fault. 00:38:45 Speaker 6: No. 00:38:45 Speaker 2: I mean. 00:38:46 Speaker 5: Looks like a completely different person. 00:38:48 Speaker 4: I know, I know. Where'd the hoop and golf come from? 00:38:53 Speaker 5: And then once you start, it's hard to stop. 00:38:56 Speaker 3: Well, I'm just, that feels good. 00:38:58 Speaker 2: Yeah, right. 00:38:59 Speaker 1: Does it help? 00:39:00 Speaker 3: It does help. You're talking about Confused American. 00:39:02 Speaker 5: That's one of my favorites. 00:39:03 Speaker 3: That's what I'm going with. That's Confused American. Have we really gotten that stupid? 00:39:09 Speaker 5: Yes, yes. I mean, that's just a trick from this point forward. For the night before Christmas. 00:39:14 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, he was on there last year. 00:39:16 Speaker 6: Christmas? 00:39:17 Speaker 3: Where'd that come from? What's the night? Anytime we have a

question like that, we're going to call in Confused America and see what he thinks about it. 00:39:25 Speaker 5: Greg! 00:39:26 Speaker 1: The dang measles are back! 00:39:31 Speaker 3: They said somebody at Fort Payne made a chicken sandwich! 00:39:37 Speaker 2: Where'd they come from? 00:39:39 Speaker 3: What's Jenny McCarthy doing at Fort Payne? And her unvaccinated kids! 00:39:45 Speaker 1: Rick, be in the left lane driving slow and about 20 cars behind you and you don't know why they're behind you. 00:39:52 Speaker 3: What's all these people doing coming up on my bumper? 00:39:56 Speaker 9: I'm doing 48. 00:39:56 Speaker 3: Trying to keep it in between the lanes. There's a lot of space to my right. What's it for? 00:40:06 Speaker 5: What's it for? 00:40:08 Speaker 9: What are these two lanes? 00:40:11 Speaker 5: Oh, gosh. 00:40:13 Speaker 2: Oh, goodness. 00:40:14 Speaker 1: Don't pass out, big guy. 00:40:16 Speaker 3: What if Beth Mullen... What an embarrassment. 00:40:18 Speaker 9: What if Beth Mullen. 00:40:22 Speaker 5: What if Confused American want to know why... Somebody's got to get a timeout. 00:40:25 Speaker 10: Can't make the game tonight, got measles. Not sure where they came from. Probably that Jenny McCarthy. I'm wondering maybe if that border has something to do with it, Greg. We'll go down to Rocky. Rocky, you got measles? 00:40:44 Speaker 3: I know I said we'd take calls. 00:40:45 Speaker 6: I'm sorry. 00:40:46 Speaker 3: Stupid American. Confused American. Oh, yeah. Confused American. 00:40:50 Speaker 2: We'll be back. Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba. 00:40:55 Speaker 5: All right, here we go, Rick. 00:40:57 Speaker 3: I'm in that mode right now. So tomorrow's programming note, I will not be here. And I have, as we have to do from time to time, we have things we have to tend to involving the family. And when you have a freshman that is moving into college and is going to live in the dorm for the first year, you don't have freedom of schedule. You operate on the mandated schedule from the university. And I'm sure that's going to be a party if any of these things from past kids and students. What you do is you realize, and this is one thing I've learned. My wife calls it that I'm protecting little Rick Rick. She says that's the little boy that still lives inside of me that doesn't like to get his little feelings crushed. She says, I watch you. You always go worst case scenario, preparing for anything. I said, because that way, just like our whole show, 25 years, we have undersold everything. 00:41:50 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:41:50 Speaker 3: Which means you like the show because we really convince you it's going to be such a horrific experience that when you listen, you go, that's not as bad as I thought it was. 00:41:59 Speaker 4: Can we just delve into that for just a minute? Every experience, every moment of the day, everything that happens is either going to be looked at positively or negatively or as a wash. 00:42:10 Speaker 3: Right. 00:42:10 Speaker 4: I mean, you know. 00:42:11 Speaker 3: Right. 00:42:12 Speaker 5: So all that is based on how you expect it to go. 00:42:15 Speaker 3: Right. 00:42:15 Speaker 4: So what is wrong with lowering expectations so that everything looks to be positive? See, that's a way that you live positive, by lowering expectations. 00:42:23 Speaker 5: Absolutely. 00:42:24 Speaker 3: She says it's so interesting. Anytime you have a team that you like, even if our kids play on the team or whatever, every time we're going to the game, we're going to watch the game, you tell me we're going to get run out of the stadium. And I said, well, yeah, I'm preparing myself for the worst-case situation. And for some reason, I'm drawn to teams you can't depend on. They're not consistent. You know what I mean? I mean, they're here to break your heart. 00:42:44 Speaker 4: But that's how you become positive. 00:42:46 Speaker 6: Right. 00:42:46 Speaker 4: So, you know, we're moving the scale so we move into the good area. 00:42:50 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:42:50 Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with that. I think it's ingenious. I told her, I said, if you watch me, I said, I don't live my life as a Debbie Downer. Most every day I'm in a, I really don't have many days that I walk around in a bad mood. And she goes, no, that's true. And I said, am I not usually overly kind of joyful? Yeah, yeah, you are. I said, but then when it comes to the world of hassle, though, that's a different world. I'm not spiritually downtrodden. And we shouldn't be. I haven't lost all hope or anything like that. And I know what's important in the world. I know what's not. I'm strictly dealing with the hassles of life. And when it comes to the hassles of life, the disappointments, the struggles of these little inconvenient things we have to do, I always prepare myself for it being a complete disaster. And, and I, and I said, so I know tomorrow when I get up and we get in these vehicles, you know, with, you know, and we, there's, there's been a big debate going on and, and I'm really, because these are sons. 00:43:52 Speaker 8: Yeah. 00:43:52 Speaker 3: All right. These are, these are males. 00:43:54 Speaker 5: Okay. 00:43:54 Speaker 3: I understand all of you that go out there and Bubba, I know that even Betty with a group would help. with dorm rooms. 00:43:59 Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. 00:44:00 Speaker 3: And I know when females go to college, the dorm room decoration and all that is extremely important. When a male goes to college, it doesn't matter at all. 00:44:09 Speaker 2: No. 00:44:09 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter at all. 00:44:11 Speaker 1: Well, to the mom, it does. 00:44:12 Speaker 3: Yeah, and so Sherry has got, she's gone to this place where you can get stuff that fits in the dorm rooms and it's great. I'm glad. That's a good business plan. Good idea. Even the stuff Betty was doing, that's all a good idea because people want to go one place and that be handled. That's a great

idea. But, But when we have this shelving that fits over the back of the bed that gives them some shelves to put things on, I recall you've already taken this last year to the freshman we had last year that had to live in the dorm. And I went to his dorm room a few times over the year where we were in town to see him or whatever. And I said, when you set up that shelving and you put pictures and stuff on it, He's never used it. I watched him the entire year. He never put one thing on those shelves, not one. And I said, and that thing was a nightmare getting up there. It's just a nightmare. 00:45:03 Speaker 5: Rick, are you saying we didn't learn our lesson on this? 00:45:05 Speaker 3: And she goes, well, no, no, this thing works perfect in the dorm room, and I want to put it in Brody's dorm room too. I said, first of all, this is a new university. And then Brody, now this did help. I will say this. He said, Dad, I'm on the first floor. I said, okay. I said, all right, that's big. That's a win. 00:45:21 Speaker 1: Let me put that one down. 00:45:21 Speaker 3: That's a win. That's big. All right, I know that I was preparing for tomorrow because this is at Auburn University, which is South Alabama. I was preparing tomorrow for it to be 1,000 degrees. 00:45:33 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:45:33 Speaker 3: When are you going to be closed? I understood I get a little bit of break because of the rain. It's still going to be bad, but it's not going to be like yesterday when we had 99. What am I going to be, 91? 00:45:42 Speaker 1: I think it's like 92 is the high, but around the time you're getting there, it's going to be in the upper 80s. I'm going to put this down. I'm going to go first floor wind. Temperature a win. 00:45:51 Speaker 2: But humid. 00:45:52 Speaker 1: I know, but I'm just saying in what it's been, that's in the win column. I'm going to go headboard shelf loss. 00:45:59 Speaker 6: Right. 00:46:00 Speaker 1: So right now you're winning two to one. 00:46:02 Speaker 3: Well, and here's the problem, too. On Earth, this is the last child that we have going out, and Sherry and I are older. We're tired. That's a loss. And we're not as on top of this kid like we are the others. Parents deteriorate. The more kids you have. Right. I actually said to Sherry yesterday, I said, we are leaving Thursday morning. 00:46:25 Speaker 5: Yes. 00:46:25 Speaker 3: Do we even know where we're going? I said, when we had the first one go out, we knew every detail. I said, do we even know where we're going? And Sherry goes, no, actually we don't. I said, so we don't know where we're going. I'm going to ask you this. Do you have the desire to just send him? Oh, yeah, I'd do that in a second. Oh, I'd do it in a second. 00:46:42 Speaker 6: Right. 00:46:43 Speaker 3: And see, if it wasn't for the first one, you wouldn't have done that. Well, Sherry, like we do, but Sherry says, and it's true, there's a special moment, we've done it with all of them, where you're there, they're

in college. Of course, yeah. We got everything in your room. Let's go have a dinner or lunch. In this case, tomorrow will probably be more like lunch, I hope. And then we say, you know, we love you. This is the next great step. We pray over you, and we are leaving. And then your mother cries all the way home. We're out of here. And then I have to act like I'm upset about it as well. And then I find a place when I get home where your mother can't see me, and I jump in there and do a herky. Okay? Because I'm an empty nester now, and I cannot believe it. But anyway, hey, look, I've had my time. 00:47:27 Speaker 1: I love y'all. 00:47:28 Speaker 3: I want to know y'all as adults now. 00:47:30 Speaker 1: Okay? 00:47:30 Speaker 3: Okay. We've had our kid time. 00:47:32 Speaker 1: It was great. 00:47:33 Speaker 3: I just want to know he's an adult now. Somebody actually said that to me. They said, do you miss? I said, no. 00:47:40 Speaker 2: Miss? 00:47:41 Speaker 6: What? 00:47:42 Speaker 3: I said, if I can find a way to get rid of this dog, I'm going to be completely free. Don't out all of us dad's too much. Not saying I didn't enjoy time with my kids being children. I remember when my kids were children, that whole world of having small children and lots of small children, the feeling of it was always just surviving. There were moments of elation and joy and wonderful memories, but I remember always being tired. I remember always having a lot of stuff. I remember lots of things and gathering and traveling. And I remember that every little thing, like trying to go eat, was a game plan. And that's wonderful. It's a great time of life, but it's exhausting. And so I'm too old for that now. And so I'm just like, hey, you know what? This is great. Like I keep telling Sherry, I said, if we train them up to go, remember last December when Big Love went back to school and Sherry went to his bed and says, well, this is sad. I said, no, no, no. What's sad is if he was still in it. That's sad. The fact he's not in that bed and he's gone, that's good. Because I don't know if you know, he's 20. We don't want him in this bed. we want him visiting, but then he needs to go. And so, so, uh, if we find these kids still in this house at this age, it's not good. This is not good. And so, uh, so it's going to be terrible. 00:49:07 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:49:07 Speaker 3: Uh, it's going to be a nightmare, but I've gotten, and I know we all do this is I've gotten to the point where I can already see me like here on Friday. When, when, i walk all over when i walk in here on friday you're gonna see an elated man i mean i mean y'all y'all may see me y'all may look outside by big boy i'm going. 00:49:30 Speaker 1: We'll call that the big boy dance, right? 00:49:35 Speaker 5: Rick, I wish you could do the river dance. 00:49:37 Speaker 4: Rick, that's pretty good right there. 00:49:39 Speaker 3: That was pretty good. 00:49:41 Speaker 5: What is that dance, by the way? 00:49:43 Speaker 3: I don't know what that is. That's my empty nest dance. 00:49:46 Speaker 1: Rick, I saw that years ago, and you had these blue shorts on. 00:49:49 Speaker 2: Right. 00:49:49 Speaker 5: That's the empty nest shuffle. 00:49:51 Speaker 3: Greg, it's like all the things that have been redeemed. Now it's used for something good. Back then, not so much. 00:49:59 Speaker 1: So right now, though, you're losing 3-2. I just want to let you know that. 00:50:02 Speaker 3: Look, I'm going to a big university. It's got a lot of people. I've got a freshman. I don't know where we're going. This also is our most independent child, the soonest ones. Now, they all have become independent, but he's the most independent at the youngest age. And he had to be because we forgot we had him. You know what I mean? So he had to survive. 00:50:25 Speaker 5: And you never told him anything. 00:50:26 Speaker 2: Right, right. 00:50:27 Speaker 3: And we never told him anything. 00:50:28 Speaker 1: Does he even know you're going tomorrow? 00:50:29 Speaker 6: No. 00:50:30 Speaker 3: Well, you know what? I walked by him. It's so weird. So weird. Because he's the oldest soul of all of them because he had to be. And so I walked up to him. I said, you got any idea where we're going tomorrow? He goes, yes, sir. He said, I have a sheet with everything. I said, okay, that's something your mom and I don't have. So I said, so you know where we're going? So you're in charge here? 00:50:49 Speaker 1: What is this? I don't know. 00:50:50 Speaker 3: There's an 18-year-old kid that's got to handle tomorrow. I'm out of the loop. I'm just driving a truck. I don't even know where I'm going. 00:50:56 Speaker 2: There I go. 00:50:57 Speaker 3: I don't feel like I'm as on this as I need to be. I just don't have the. 00:50:59 Speaker 5: Energy for it anymore. Rick, I think I out low-hastled you on all this. 00:51:08 Speaker 2: You did. 00:51:09 Speaker 3: Well, the key is how we ended up in the dorm here. See, if I'd been paying attention, that wouldn't have happened. 00:51:15 Speaker 4: So you've got a move out coming again in a few months. 00:51:17 Speaker 3: Now, Mississippi State, see, you don't have a choice. You have to go in the dorm with the freshmen. I think we had a choice here, and I don't know how this happened. 00:51:24 Speaker 2: Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba. 00:51:28 Speaker 3: All right, so we were talking about the weekend. 00:51:30 Speaker 5: Rick, let us just say, ni hao. 00:51:33 Speaker 6: Ni hao. 00:51:34 Speaker 3: And so we ended up, you know, I called rural Alabama Chinese, and there were some people, and then we go to a buffet that's not a buffet. 00:51:41 Speaker 2: Okay. 00:51:42 Speaker 3: And now they just have you ordering the numbers off. But we got it worked out. We ended up with a bunch of food. We don't know where it came from. I have no idea how much it ended up being. But we got it. 00:51:50 Speaker 1: We ate it. 00:51:51 Speaker 3: We've got boys

there, and everybody's loving it. And so I think, as I said going into the break, now's the time I'm just going to invest. 00:51:57 Speaker 2: A little bit. 00:51:58 Speaker 3: Because they were talking about what's your passions. We were talking to Brooks about what are you thinking about you want to do and what are you studying. And we were even over to Braden asking him what his passions were and Reese and all this. 00:52:10 Speaker 5: That was in-depth. 00:52:11 Speaker 3: And then I was getting ready to launch into what really, in my opinion, is the key to life. 00:52:17 Speaker 2: Yes. 00:52:17 Speaker 3: And I had to learn it much later. I want all my sons and everybody to learn it younger. And, I mean, I'm launching into this is deep. It's time. This is our takeaway. 00:52:31 Speaker 2: Yes. 00:52:31 Speaker 1: Right, from the weekend. 00:52:33 Speaker 5: Used us as examples and really bringing it home. 00:52:35 Speaker 3: All right, so picture, Bub, I want to show you the table. So I'm here. Big Love is here. And nobody's here, right? I have nobody. 00:52:42 Speaker 1: No, it's me. Are you here or are you over there? 00:52:45 Speaker 3: No, Reese is here. 00:52:45 Speaker 5: I'm in front of you. I'm between Reese and Brady. 00:52:48 Speaker 1: I'm to your right. Brooks is to your left. 00:52:49 Speaker 5: All right. 00:52:49 Speaker 1: On one side of the table. 00:52:50 Speaker 3: And then Reese is here, you know, diagonal to my right. 00:52:53 Speaker 2: Right, right. 00:52:54 Speaker 3: And then we've got, right across from me, Helmsy. 00:52:56 Speaker 5: Ni hao. 00:52:57 Speaker 3: And then ni hao to my left, over here on the other side of the table, is Brayden. 00:53:01 Speaker 6: Correct. 00:53:02 Speaker 3: And for some reason, I'm kind of coming scanning, and this is where I'm locking in on Brayden. And who's how old now? 00:53:08 Speaker 2: 13. 00:53:08 Speaker 3: 13. 00:53:08 Speaker 5: Yeah, teenager. 00:53:09 Speaker 1: I still keep thinking that Reese and him are one year apart. 00:53:13 Speaker 5: They are. That's because they are. Ni hao. 00:53:15 Speaker 3: I forget that all the time. We were all alone in there. You know how you get in your tunnel vision. I didn't realize that somebody had come in to attempt to order as well. 00:53:22 Speaker 6: And. 00:53:23 Speaker 3: And they're right over my right shoulder, right in the eye line of a 13 year old boy. 00:53:27 Speaker 2: Okay. 00:53:28 Speaker 3: And I'm, and I'm like, you know, here comes a gray beard. Man, I'm going to drop some wisdom off, off a life, you know, hard lived. And all of a sudden I get, I'm not even what, maybe a quarter of the way in. I'm not, I'm not in long. And behind me, this unbelievable noise. You know, it's one thing for you to need to, and I don't want to be grotesque because, and it's a pet peeve of my wife's, by the way, who people do this around food. 00:53:54 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:53:54 Speaker 3: And I'm sure it is for most of us. What was happening with the guy? He began to. 00:54:00 Speaker 5: It was one of the loudest. He tried to sneeze, and I think on top of the sneezing, he was coughing, and he had some kind of movement and jerk that went with it as well. 00:54:10 Speaker 3: And there was clearly a mucus problem. 00:54:13 Speaker 5: There was, yes. He was one of these sneeze criminals. I'll say this. I was thankful we had our food at that point. 00:54:18 Speaker 1: Correct. 00:54:19 Speaker 5: That's where I was at. 00:54:20 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I looked at Bigelow and said, well, this wasn't a habit, though, like Kevin. 00:54:24 Speaker 1: But anyway, so... You remember the dog in Christmas Vacation? 00:54:28 Speaker 7: Yes. 00:54:28 Speaker 3: He said, oh, it's coming up. There's a touch of that with a sneeze. Picture, I want you to picture this. 00:54:36 Speaker 5: And the movements that came with it. 00:54:39 Speaker 3: I want you to picture me in the most serious conversation you could even imagine. And over my right shoulder, I can't see it. Braden, 13-year-old boy, can see it as this. And I'm like, guys, let me tell you something. The number one thing that you need to understand, I mean, this is more important than anything else we've talked about today. 00:54:59 Speaker 5: And you've got to decide today. You've got to decide right now. 00:55:08 Speaker 3: And, of course, Brayden can't take it. He just breaks down. 00:55:13 Speaker 5: Well, who could? The minute Brayden let out the first laugh, I couldn't hold it in. 00:55:19 Speaker 3: And then the whole table erupts. I never made eye contact with the guy. So you know what I did, though, Bubba? Another thing that helps having gray in the beard, I just did reset. I said, we're going to reset this whole thing. I said, let's let this finish. If this guy needs help, somebody let us know. Yee-haw. 00:55:39 Speaker 5: Yee-haw. 00:55:39 Speaker 1: All right. Is it over? 00:55:42 Speaker 5: Okay. 00:55:42 Speaker 1: That's not a pause. That's a total reset. 00:55:45 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:55:45 Speaker 3: Because I even said, let's not pick up. You might need to time out. Well, because at that point, you realize nothing you said was heard. 00:55:50 Speaker 5: Right. 00:55:51 Speaker 3: So there's no need to put a pause button on. You've got to go back. You've got to unplug everything, plug it back in, and let everything crank back up again. 00:55:56 Speaker 2: Right. 00:55:57 Speaker 3: You know, that's a shutdown start over is what that is. 00:55:59 Speaker 1: And what it was was a takeout order. It was whoever was coming to get it. 00:56:04 Speaker 3: They were elated to see us. I'm sad because you know how you start pulling for a place? 00:56:08 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:56:09 Speaker 3: I'm sad that I think that the people of Chilton County have overreacted to the removal of the buffet. Guys, let's don't be hasty on this. Can I tell you something that may surprise you? 00:56:19 Speaker 5: Did you ask why the buffet had gone away?

00:56:23 Speaker 3: But I ended up with food that I know where it came from. I ended up with two dozen Chinese donuts somehow and 18 egg rolls. But I want to say Chinese donuts were good. I want, and for some reason the egg rolls are different kinds, but anyway, and I know I didn't say anything about that, but, but they were enjoyable. 00:56:39 Speaker 5: They were great. 00:56:40 Speaker 3: And I think you may agree with me. Look, I'm certainly a fan of a buffet. Okay. I personally, from someone who's eaten there probably a dozen to 15 times. 00:56:49 Speaker 7: Okay. 00:56:50 Speaker 6: Okay. 00:56:51 Speaker 3: I preferred the food Saturday night over the buffet. Now, you know, I like the idea of walking, I got a plate, and I'm rolling. But I thought the fact that it was coming out hot, it was coming out fresh, I actually thought the food, as far as quality, was better. what we had Saturday night than what I normally have there. 00:57:10 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:57:10 Speaker 2: Ni hao. 00:57:10 Speaker 3: You know, when it comes to a Chinese buffet or cheap Mexican, my standards are not very high. 00:57:15 Speaker 5: Right, right. 00:57:16 Speaker 3: You know, I mean, I'm not expecting to be, you know, I'm not going to go on there and immediately say, I must get on one of these food sites and comment. You know, it's nothing like that. 00:57:24 Speaker 5: You're not headed to Yelp. 00:57:25 Speaker 3: You know, it's adequate. You know what I'm talking about? It's adequate. 00:57:27 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:57:28 Speaker 3: But I actually thought this time, especially that General's chicken, which is above a favorite. 00:57:31 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:57:32 Speaker 3: I actually thought it looked pretty strong. I didn't order that. 00:57:34 Speaker 5: It was as good as it looked. It was good, and the teriyaki was good. 00:57:37 Speaker 4: It's the governor's chicken and the general's. 00:57:40 Speaker 5: Chicken all the same thing. 00:57:41 Speaker 2: It's the same thing. 00:57:42 Speaker 5: I mean, somebody's chicken. 00:57:43 Speaker 3: It's the same thing. 00:57:46 Speaker 4: It's general some places. It's general Tao some places. 00:57:50 Speaker 5: It's the governor's chicken. 00:57:51 Speaker 1: Attorney general. 00:57:53 Speaker 5: It's the major's chicken. 00:57:55 Speaker 1: Wait, what you've started with Reese, and I'm going to text you every time it happens. Coming back from the Lenore Farms, there's There's a couple of different ways you can go. That's one of them. Now it will be, Dad, can we go have Chinese? 00:58:08 Speaker 5: It'll be that. 00:58:09 Speaker 1: All the time. 00:58:10 Speaker 3: So y'all be eating there a lot. I'm glad it worked out. Is this not true? Of course, Bubba, sometimes you just get tired of something. One of the ways it led to this hunt at all was when you said, look, I'm just going to tell you straight up, Reese asked me, could we mix it up a little bit down here and maybe go to Mr. 00:58:24 Speaker 5: Rich's? 00:58:25 Speaker 6: Yes. 00:58:25 Speaker 3: He'd love to see new places. 00:58:26 Speaker 6: Yes. 00:58:27 Speaker 3: You know, and so now you can have a whole new trick. 00:58:29 Speaker 4: He's only seen about three fields. 00:58:31 Speaker 3: I mean, it's Castleberry and Corn. 00:58:33 Speaker 5: He don't know. 00:58:35 Speaker 3: Anything else. That's all he's ever known. Let's get the kid a new group trick. It goes to the bottom. Let's get him on water pumps so he's up new. I'm mad at Helms, but it was a great surprise. 00:58:46 Speaker 1: I didn't know that normally the two of us would have communicated, hey, I'm going. And when we pulled up and Reese saw Braden. Oh, so you didn't really know. You said this is a surprise. 00:58:54 Speaker 5: I didn't know that. But when Reese saw Braden, he was like, yeah. For some reason, I thought we were all in group text. But I look back, it was just individual. 00:58:59 Speaker 3: It was all off the spine. Thanks, man. I didn't want to put any pressure. 00:59:02 Speaker 4: You saw Hams, and the first thing you said was, ni hao. 00:59:05 Speaker 3: Ni hao. 00:59:06 Speaker 6: Ni hao. 00:59:07 Speaker 2: Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba. 00:59:12 Speaker 1: Hey, it's Speedy, and this is Rick and Bubba's Greatest Hits, flashing back through 31 years of radio gold every Saturday morning, wherever you get your podcasts.
