Bản chép lời đầy đủ của Rick & Bubba's Greatest Hits - Ep. 82

00:00:01 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. 00:00:10 Speaker 2: It's Rick and Bubba's Greatest Hits. Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba. 00:00:16 Speaker 1: So, you know, we were doing the show on this day 18 years ago, and we will do the tribute, and you will hear and see some of the– the moments that none of us will ever forget. 00:00:31 Speaker 2: I hope we don't forget. 00:00:31 Speaker 1: 18 years ago, and we'll take you through that. You'll hear our reaction as it happened. We do this, I think we've done it just about every year for the last 18 years. That's also, for those of you that hear the national anthem that starts the big show, meaning the part when the whole team's together, that started as something we started doing after the attack. So, We've been doing that for 18 years, but that's what it originally was tied to. And, Bubba, I remember that day pretty vividly. 00:01:04 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we, and I know Speedy was talking about it earlier, we were in a different studio at the time. Technology wasn't near what it is today. We had a little bitty TV over in the corner. And I don't even know if we had it on that morning to begin with. But I know after we had Prater on and we were talking about the weather, He said, hey, have y'all seen what's going on in New York City? A plane or something has hit one of the World Trade Centers. And that's when we either cut it on or started paying attention to it, one. 00:01:35 Speaker 4: Or the other. 00:01:36 Speaker 1: But thinking nothing about it. I mean, we thought about it, but we thought it was a personal craft. 00:01:40 Speaker 2: Or something like that. 00:01:41 Speaker 3: Yeah, or a tourist helicopter or something. We really didn't know what it was. And while we were talking to him, the other one hit. And we saw it live on the air, and then we knew, man, we got something going on here. And, you know, immediately you think, who is doing this? And, of course, you'll hear in the great, great little bit that Speedy added together different things, and there's different theories being kicked about. But, you know, at that moment, I'm thinking, how many planes are out there? 00:02:14 Speaker 1: It changed. Uh, think about how many things that, uh, your whole, your whole experience at the airport was changed by everything, uh, uh, 18 years ago. And it was a very eerie, eerie feeling. Uh, and there were certainly a lot of uncertainty. I remember, I remember getting on the phone with, you know, my wife and, you know, talking to her about it and people praying and, and, uh, it was, um, it was a very, very scary day. 00:02:38 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:02:39 Speaker 6: And then to, either have kids that were so young they don't remember or that weren't born, they don't know life without that. I mean, that's their post-9-11. They don't understand what life was like prior to then and just the way things have changed. 00:02:54 Speaker 7: Every heart that is broken. 00:03:02 Speaker 1: And great I We make our way back 21 minutes past the hour. 18 years ago, America attacked on 9-11 and we'll play back in the next segment as it unfolded here on the air. And you'll get visuals on our YouTube channel, uh, as well to go with that. 00:03:22 Speaker 6: Yeah. 00:03:22 Speaker 1: But looking at the, at the timeline, uh, from 18 years ago today, it really, it really hits home. When you think about that, uh, flight 11 and flight 175 have taken off and, um, By the way, the flight attendants on Flight 11 have just alerted ground personnel that the plane has been hijacked. So they're thinking that they're in for some long ordeal, not knowing that the way we treat hijacking, as Bubba said earlier, is about to change forever. And you just kind of follow through that timeline as things were happening. So we were live on the air, and you'll hear all of us talking about that coming up in the next segment. Greg, how did you find out about it? Because you guys didn't work here. I was going to ask you and Hams and Adler. 00:04:04 Speaker 7: I was actually in a bucket truck leaving Anniston and heading towards Heflin. We were working up there. And I was in the truck by myself. Somebody must have been off that day. But anyway, I was just listening on the radio. And like y'all, I thought a small plane. They had reported a plane had hit the Trade Center, North Tower, I think. And I thought, well, that's probably just a small plane. 00:04:24 Speaker 1: But by the time I got there, the other one had been hit, and they were reporting that the Pentagon was on fire. 00:04:29 Speaker 6: Mm-hmm. 00:04:30 Speaker 7: So I remember there was an old store up there in Fruithurst, Alabama, and they had old television in there, and we went in and watched on TV. But, yeah, I remember it was a real pretty day, real sunny when we were out. 00:04:40 Speaker 2: It was. 00:04:40 Speaker 5: Nice fall day. 00:04:41 Speaker 2: Hams, how'd you find out? 00:04:43 Speaker 4: I was actually at the house in Gadsden. I was four months from getting married. 00:04:49 Speaker 2: Wow. 00:04:49 Speaker 4: So that kind of gave you the timeline of where I was at in my life. 00:04:52 Speaker 1: Wow. 00:04:52 Speaker 4: Very immature, very disconnected on world and politics, and even when it happened at first, it was more like, wow. 00:05:00 Speaker 2: Okay. You know that? 00:05:01 Speaker 4: Cause I was, I was just immature. Didn't really know, but I remember dad, I'll never forget this. I was at the, I was living in Jacksonville, but I was at home for some reason and going through a transition of getting a job in Birmingham and of course, waiting for the wedding, but I'll never forget dad coming upstairs and knocking on the door and said, Hey, you need to get up. There's, there's something really bad going on. And I thought, what's he talking about? He's like, just, and
