What a story. We got a good look at it if you followed Speedy.
Uh.
And I and I tried to y'all may have two guys.
I tried to use the option Speedy gave us to also put it on our stories. I don't know that I got all of them. He was, he was coming at us rapid fire. So we'll just walk through his Instagram story today because it is.
It's a dandy and.
We'll do that.
We'll do that, and Speedy probably as we speak, is set up to broadcast video and audio from Larry and Carolyn's house. He did arrive successfully. He has spent the evening with them. Uh, and he's there now, so it is Uh. I don't even I don't even know what to say about some of the things I've already seen.
It's just it's amazing. Yeah, it's like it's like watching a bear documentary. You can't believe what you're seeing.
You're talking about speeding a slid and Larry pulling him through the house.
Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. I mean, they don't get no better than that.
Right, the compound fracture story from Larry. Where's he been holding out?
I know?
And it's really a simple little thing. What a scar end up with an injury like that? What a star little firewood? Good night snap.
Talking about the bones out saw the bones sticking up?
Yeah, and Larry, Larry is self conscious about his voice, but again the voices.
Yeah, yeah, it fits imperfect.
Yeah, that's that's no way to be I mean that that that's yeah, that's like Marilyn Monroe being self conscious about our mole.
I mean, you know, it's make it work.
Yeah, you got to make it work so well. That will be obviously a big part of the show today. Okay, So now he's there. In case you're wonder.
Speedy set the patch collector, just a random listener that collects patches to report on patch collection. We can't wait to see it.
Okay, now I will say this.
Some of you are asking, can we confirm that Speedy is alive?
Right now?
I can't.
We can't run the second.
No, we know he was last night at about I'm not sure what time those were.
Not sure what time?
He had an eleven o'clock PM posts.
Oh see, I told him I went to bed about seven thirty. I told him I was going to bed. And good luck?
Was that him going on the bathroom? Was that him going to the bathroom or something?
Here?
It is, he's on.
He's just looking down the hall eleven pm. And he just posted something new there. So there's something after this too here look all.
Right, yes, sir, okay, so much goodness?
What time I get up?
Goodness?
He was asleep still, but if he ever slept, he was in the baby.
My goodness, They get on up, don't they they do? Was there our head? I get that?
But still, oh that helps, I forgot that.
Did you see shirtless Larry?
Oh?
Yes, we have to watch.
We have to just watch the entire story. I think on the air.
Yes, it is all right.
Somebody just figured it out. You're right, Larry sounds like the futrid smell guy, Hank.
He does. He just sounds a little bit like Hank. Remember Cartridge man, you want to there's a few pounds you want to eat for a week? Be pearching smell.
It's so bad it maybe go back to my ex wife.
Yeah, it's a little bit of Hank from Hendersonville that he's not quite him, but it's in the same in the same family conference, just a little different tone.
It wasn't ill opinion on a stack, you remember that? Yes, real quick. On another subject, it's raining here in Birmingham.
Oh boy, I come in.
I mean I woke up at too with thunder. I don't know about you guys.
Yes, here's the here's the code part. It's that Cloud to Cloud lightning. And you talked about the show because I got to see it for about an hour.
Oh, I know about Cloud to Cloud. But look I'm doing the show with James span That's right. I look cloud to cloud.
Yeah, look at my goodness. So I didn't want to run in the rain, so I walked, but I also didn't want my shirt to get wet, so I actually have my shirt in my hand. And Greg, I'm not saying that you should probably give people more when you greet them in the mornings, but I walked in there without a shirt on this morning.
You get Yes, I was trying to get this to work.
I walked past you, see it, I walked right past you. Greg. I goes like, hey, good morning, buddying you. Hey, what's up man?
I am sir. Yeah, I was trying to get this daggum thing.
Well, you got it, but you got to work.
And I never.
Right right past you, coming by vaguely, not being aware of its surroundings.
I guess not.
It's crazy.
Not only do everyday Earbudge have an isolation mode, Greg does.
That's that's rare.
You've been giving your mom so much you can given everybody else less.
It's almost like his account only has so much, and he keeps my mom keeps withdrawing from it.
I can't believe that he has.
I was ready to be made fun of, and I was going to explain I didn't want.
To run on, so you took your shirt off.
I didn't put my shirt on until I got to work.
You could still get kind of wet in your hand.
Yeah, but it was okay with my bad posture, I covered it.
That's true. It's like a hut.
I was, youll. I know it was very dark as I'm driving in, but I didn't have a shirt on in my car and I drove I was I was afraid people were going to see me and be like, what's this time coming from a.
Crime or something?
If I saw you shirtless this time of day, they wouldn't think they would think crime. It'd be a different kind of They think he was having a bad experience. He got off and you know what they say, there goes a deviant.
Yeah, that's what.
They probably probably high. Yeah, yeah, like a light. I'm just sitting next to somebody without my shirt on it. I didn't want to look over, but I did.
I want to say again, I can't believe I didn't notice that, and I appreciate what you were doing, you know with the shirtless stay in Greg. Of course, soon as I got out of the truck today we got at the same time. He goes, you're gonna you're gonna run, and of course we didn't. But I want to make it clear there's there's another email today I still want to make it clear.
I'm Dad. Never wanted you to get struck by lightning. Okay, you need to run. For some of you that do, don't, don't put yourself in danger. Real men can run in life.
It really was just a philosophy on life. Yeah, you're missing the point. We're taking it little, and I certainly want you not to run and just normal rain. But if you're in danger it don't. Don't put yourself in danger. And I will admit this.
But now it wasn't completely blocking me, but I did walk with the with the eve hanging over. I kind of got in a little bit as I had to go around in front of my truck to get to the driver's sides.
All Right, it was coming down, but it still got me pretty good good.
The other day I was with Ruby. She was a dance class and we're leaving dance class and it's pouring down rain and she's freaking out. She's in her little too too, and she said, I'm like, hey, I can relate to that many times in my life. I'm not wanted to give. I put actually got I have had a rain jacket in my van and I put my big old rain jacket on her and we just walked to the car and I just walked and honestly it was odd.
To see her.
See me do that and her we get to the car and she just seemed more calm. It was really it was really something. Yeah, And she was just like, wow, So my dad really doesn't care about the rain. He's fine, He's here to protect me. There's really something to there, really is well.
I thought it was odd too that MythBusters actually studied it and and this is to me, and this is profound actually, that you don't get as wet if you will just walk in it versus running.
Yes, yes, that's just feel catching more rain if you run, I guess.
But doesn't that feel that's like an underlying thing thing we need to read.
Busted the myth. I'm that's why it's a myth. They had to bust it.
All right, will be about.
Now that's not ready.
That is not ready.
You heard us talk about it, and for good reason. Share the Arrows is one of the most powerful women's events happening this year, and it will be hosted by Blaze TV's own Alley Bath Stucky.
When is it Rick?
October the eleventh, Dallas, Texas. If there's a woman in your life who's been craving real encouragement and biblical truth, your wife, your daughter, your your sister, your mom, whatever the case may be, this is for her. It's a full day of worship, teaching, powerful conversation. Bold women will be there, Ginger Douggar will be there, Alissa Childers, Katie Foss, Taylor Dukes and more. Worship will be led by the very talented Francesca by to Stelling. It's gonna be something really,
really special. So there's a lot of loudness out there. Culture can get loud, but this is a chance to kind of push the Paul's button on all that and lean into truth and get recentered in purpose.
You know, as we say here, go.
To the real world, Send someone you love, go by yourself, our go yourself. Will get some girls together and go. Tickets in the Tales are available at Share the Arrows dot com, Share the Arrows dot com and yes, VIP options are still available. So there you go. A couple of things we're going to cover. Did you know that the largest collection agency in the world, What is the largest collection agency in the world?
The irs?
Oh yeah?
And let me tell you something. If you owe the IRS money, they have a lot available to them. Can they file criminal charges yes?
Oh no.
Can they garnish your wages yes?
Can they shut you down and sell off your stuff, business or your property yes. So this is not something to dabble in and to tamper with. So if you owe ten thousand dollars or more in back taxes, why don't you go right now to US tax Shield?
Okay, go ahead.
Don't get to the point where the IRS is closing your bank account, ounce and all of that.
Just just get it done.
Did you know there's a fresh start program that's available from the IRS. They want to resolve this as much as you do. You may not know that, but it's true. But you need to have people that know what they're doing to kind of help you kind of navigate these waters. Okay, So go to US tax Shield. The Better Business Bureau says they get an A plus from them, so they're good people. You can call them at one eight hundred and seven six y nine seven three zero, or go
to Rick Burgess show dot com under sponsors. You see the link right there. Click no obligation. But let's talk to them about how they can alleviate this burden and give you back your peace of mind. Okay, all right, So a couple of things too that we need to cover before we start getting checking in with Speedy. So those of you that kind of it's like me, I want to know what the plan is. So here's what
the plan is. We're going to We're going to use next hour to kind of look back at what's already happened.
Speedy's documented all.
That that, we'll walk through that with you, and then in the in the the hour after that, Speedy comes to us live from Larry and Carolyn's. I mean, he will be in their home and we will see him for those of you that love the video option, and we will also hear him for those of you that have the audio only.
So and and.
Technically there's some there's some mountains to climb there because they don't have Wi Fi. But we scent with Speedy the same. What is that thing, Adler? It creates a hot spot and uh and and I took it with really good. Yeah, I took it with me to Virginia. Of course, you know, got on the air flawlessly, but you know, just I'm learning, I'm learning so many new things. I'm becoming technical handy. All this is, you know, you can teach an old dog some new tricks.
They call it a mobile hotspot.
Okay, call a little mobile hot It's good it hopefully it will work. So so anyway, that got to be coming up. Did you hear Greg and I discussing Arnold and I never can pronounce his last name, and I'm terrified.
What's see, That's why I'm terrified. How do you say? How do you correctly say Arnold's last name?
Greg said it right. I'm not going to say it, but you said it.
Yeah, yes, he said it almost both.
Let's just call him Arnold, Yeahnator.
Of all the movies that Arnold did, Greg just shot me in the break Adler, which one do you think made the most money for him?
Made the most money?
Maybe done a lot.
Well, the way you're asking the question, I got to say, like some weird like Kindergarten copp or.
Something close close? Tell them what it is? Twins twins? Yes, and part of it I read a little deeper into this little bit.
Yes, I would I would have, I said Terminator when he asked me. Here's here's one he explained how it happened. You know, they have a choice.
You can take a salary or you can go back in. He went back in on that one didn't take a salary, so said you may. The more it makes, the more you make.
And it blew up.
Oh okay, so he said, you know others who probably had more guarantee money, but in the end, when it was all added up, Twins has made him more money than anything he's ever done.
He just went residuals only.
Okay, Now I understand because as far as.
Gross money to Arnolds were talking about, gotcha understood.
What his cut was?
Yeah, he said to him, and I think Dan de Vito both they chose not. And also it said do you realize they were trying They were going to make it triplets, and Eddie Murphy was going to be part of it, But is it Ivan Rckman that was to do it?
Anyway?
He died before he got finished the story, So oh really they just went back to Twins.
Now that would have been big, yeah.
Because it's not even in his top five as far as gross.
No, he was on a on a podcast and somebody asked him and he said, I racked up on.
That one number one is T two. Yeah, Terminator two made five hundred and twenty million dollars. Terminator Genesis, which was terrible twenty fifteen, that made four. T three made four thirty as well. True lies at three seventy eight.
And then so really what you're saying here now people made more money off the Terminator series. Yes, but Arnold made the most money by going residuals only on twins and that wild how all that works well? And that's the thing that you know, remember when kiss some reason you know in our and it all comes back to everything always comes back to Kiss. All that comes to money and stuff all through the Rick and Bubby years, and now it's continuing into this.
You remember when.
Peter, Chris and Ace Freeley decided to take guaranteed money for the Reunion tour?
Ye? Do you remember that?
And Paul and Jean Took said, we will, we will take a chance that will be successful. We're going to take percentage of the merch and percentage of gross of everything. And and Ace and Peter Chris could have done that, and they chose not to. They want to the guaranteed money, and it ended up being less than the gross and they tried to go back, remember and redo their deal, and you know, Gen, Gen was no, no, no, this is the deal y'all made. Now you made the wrong deal.
Yeah, it turned out not to be the good one because that reunion tour, which we saw, by the way, yes, it grossed more than anybody during that run.
Yeah, that's when they remember they had gone away with from makeup and all that, and they finally said we're coming back original members, Original Maker, all four original and it was huge. But again Ace Freely and Peter Chris said, well, we're not really sure how people will respond to us
now it's been a while. Of course, think about how long they went after that and then there's nothing and Gene and Paul said, no, I think the audience that we've garnered over the years will go crazy over this. And they took the chance. See that's the part that's always missed with the guaranteed people. You didn't take the chance. Now, the person who took the chance, it worked out.
But you could have not.
It could not have worked out. And they leave that part out. You know, you you decided, which isn't always bad. I don't think they got a good I don't think and Peter christ I think they made out their guarantee was millions, but it was not multimillions, which is what you know.
Gene and Paul.
Got and back to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Twins. That film grossed two hundred and sixteen million, and instead of taking their usual salaries for the film, Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito and Rightman agreed with the studio to take part ownership of the film, and collectively they took forty percent of the film's back end and resulted in the biggest paycheck for all of them in their film careers. And then Triplets, Greg, you were talking about that was actually gonna be a sequel?
Oh that it was.
They were going to be a sequel, and in fact they were trying to make it in his late as twenty twenty two. Wow, and Rightman died.
How about so it was gonna be Eddie Murphy, It's gonna be Eddie Murphy triplets? Yeah?
Wow, how about that. I didn't I didn't know that that's it. And there's stuff like that all throughout entertainment. Oh yeah, you would be surprised when just because something's popular doesn't mean it was profitable. Sometimes things that are not as popular were more profitable.
Yeah, you know, for individuals, for for whatever.
And then a lot of the rock stars, especially the eighties guys, they signed bad deals.
Yep.
So you assumed that they were rich because they sold millions of records, and they're not right.
They made a bad deal.
No, popular and profitable are not always the same thing.
It seems to be happening to most rappers, by the way. They'll sign a big deal and they think they just got a million dollars. No, that was a million dollar loan.
Yeah.
Yeah, the way it's designed and said out. We'll be right back coming to us live next. I were from Larry quest Speed.
He's there. He has spent it out with him to the Rick Burgess show.
Uh.
And if you have not been updated on what has happened uh since the last time you were with Speedy.

We're fired up, y'all were ready.
It's Speedy really that breakfast Speedy really want Hey that breakfast looks so good?
It really did?
I mean, yo, Speedy spent the night at our listener's house.
She did.
That is really good.
She did them smoking in black and miles around was funny.
There was so much there, so much that was good. The dog eating toast and Larry getting on Susie.
Stop no, stop no, that just he sat outside and smoked the mile. He's immersed himself in their lives. Do you think, I mean he's just there.
He's never going to beat the smoking rumors now, Speedy's never going to beat the smoking rumors now. Struggling He was struggling?
Yeah?
Or was it an act?
I think?
Did Speedy pretend not to be a good night?
Yeah?
So much?
There?
Did Larry show up without a shirt on?
Did I did? I? Is that a fever dream?
That entire thing feels like a fever dream does.
A story on his Instagram.
That story on Instagram from speedy should get an oscar. Yeah, well done, documentation. It has taken out Ryan Greenwood today. He's actually on his hofer after watching it. So that means good measurement. That means just good. So why don't we do this before we join them?
Join them?
Coming up next to our first segment, let's do a little bit. Hey, here's what's going on in the world Video one adler. Let's update a couple of things. So also want to say this. You know, we we had this deal with there. There seems to be some uh, some leaks on intel that have gotten out, but the bottom line is a Ran, Israel and and US, the US all in agreement. Now, notice Iron's on this list that Islamic Come Republic nuclear sites were badly damaged, badly damaged despite this intel leak.
Uh.
And you can actually see a RAN's foreign foreign minister, uh that the spokesman saying that hey, uh, we we got bad damage.
And they were telling Al Jazeera that and we we we actually got that.
So there's really you know, they.
Always play this game. Hey, we're good. Nothing happened.
Uh.
So now we know that they were badly damaged. Hegsas says, we have obliterated their ability to wage nuclear war on anyone at least uh and in the present and near future. Now, well they try it again, they will, but at least we've pushed that back and we can prepare to continue to push them back every time they try it.
Now we go to Trump at NATO.
Uh.
Trump is at he went to speak. Obviously they're in Hague, and this is him once again the art of the deal. He's demanding, uh, that that we stop carrying the load and everybody start picking up the picking up the weight with us. Uh.
And here he is talking at NATO.
In a very historic milestone this week, the NATO allies committed to dramatically increase their defense spending two that five percent of GDP, something that no one really thought possible. And they said, you did it, sir, you did it.
Well.
I don't know if I did it, but I think I did. This should be known as the Hague Defense Commitment. I just may good pretty appropriate.
When the Allies reached this number, it will add more than one trillion dollars a year.
Think of that.
One trillion per year to our common defense. And this is a monument really to victory. But it's a monumental win for the United States because we were carrying much more than our fair share. Was quite unfair, actually, but this is a big win for Europe and for actually Western civilization.
People not say I did it. I don't know if I did it, but I guess I did.
Here he is he's mad at Spain. The reporter is going to say, I noticed Spain. They're not They're not They're not stepping up.
And of course Trump, he wastes no time telling us how it feels about that.
Thank you, mister president.
Of course you know in Spain. Are you satisfied with today?
Oh?
I think Spain's terrible what they've done. No I do.
They're the only country they won't pay the full up. They want to stay at two percent. I think it's terrible. And you know, they're doing very well. The economy is very well.
And that economy could be blown right out of the water with something bad happening.
You know, Spain is the only country that are you from Spain? Good congratulations. You're the only country that is not paying I don't know what the problem is it's I think.
It's too bad.
So we'll make it up.
You know what we're going to do. We're negotiating with Spain on a trade deal. We're going to make them pay twice as much. And I'm actually serious about that. We're going to make Spain.
I like Spain.
I have so many people from Spain that it's a great place and they're great people. But Spain is the only country out of all other countries that refuses to pay. And you know, so they want a little bit of a free ride, but they'll have to pay it back to us on trade because I'm not going to let that happen.
Sunfair What if he said, I've never been to Spain. I like Spain, like the music. You know, they tell me the ladies are yes.
So he said, I Spain doesn't pay the five percent. If they stay at two percent, I'm just gonna get them on the trade deal. I'm gonna make sure they pay.
Uh.
Secretary General of NATO is asked about Trump dropping the F bomb, which he did quite straightforward concerning aaran in Israel, and an interesting response referring to Trumps Daddy, here we go.
I mean we may do papers on it, Marco.
Maybe we're going to do papers.
I don't even know if you need them.
They're not going to be fighting each other.
They've had it.
They've got a big fight, like two kids at the schoolyard.
You know, they fight like hell, you can't stop them.
Let him fight for about two three minutes.
Then it's easy to stop them. And then Daddy has said sometimes language school, everyone selling, you have.
To use a certain word.
Sometimes language sometimes Daddy's strong language.

That's crazy, well, you know, but but they were eat up by the Secretary of General of Native called Trump Daddy.
Some time Daddy have to use bad.

And now
here I am sitting between you. Now, let's go back to uh, Rick and Bubby years and you said that y'all just you discovered us then, and it was one specific story that really got you locked in. What was it?
I discovered it when Rick was talking about pumping gas oh oh, his underwear and he was saying that he felt a breeze.
Huh yeah, and he said it like he was so surprised.
And I was in the kitchen by myself, doing dishes, and I just cracked up laughing.
It was just so hysterical and ever since then.
It's so I listened to it quite often since then.
That's a good one.
And then Larry tried to after Larry was here, he tried to call a few times and nobody would talk to him.
They kept hanging up on him.
That's probably Greg, Larry, Yeah, that's nice, Probably Greg. And then so Larry. So so when y'all called Rick's voicemail, did you think you were on air when you did that?
No, he did it.
Okay, that's one that you call Rick. They didn't know right about to patch because that and that was it. We did not think that we would go, I tell.
You right, So Larry were number one. The audience wants to know where the cats right now?
Tigers walking around in front of us someplace. Cally is in the kid can't probably laying down.
Okay, yeah, yeah, they they they they'll come out from behind the patch frame in a second. But you know how cats are. If you if there's a stranger in the house, they're not real sure, so they'll go to hiding and then they'll pop out. Never and and just you surprised you.
Don't act and shy today?

Yeah, he heard, he heard you say that, and he goes.
Rick said I was demanded.
I said, well he didn't he what he didn't mean? Mean what?
Here's what I'd like to ask. I've noticed this with Larry, okay and speedy. This may be hurtful. I think you're definitely in the in the two slot. And it may be reversed, but it's obvious and you even mentioned it, and I've been paying attention since you mentioned it. Larry really likes Adler. Yeah, he's picked his favorite, hasn't it Adler?
Diet that computer taken care of? Yeah?
No, no, no.
Do you like patches, honey?
And do you like Adla?
Is he your favorite?
What?
Larry?
You seem to you seem to have a favorite and it seems to be Adler and I may be Speedy's number two, but obviously, but I can't.
I hear you talk about Adler a lot.
Yeah, Adler goes all your work. He does the video and his back up. We love that. Everybody else, h uh, the commentary, the news and whatever. We love that. We love every one of you.
Everybody.
Everybody, love everybody.
That's impossible to love everybody the same Larry.
It's like, Larry don't have a favorite patch. He loves all of his boys.
He does.
Actually, do you have like a crown patch?
You know?
Crown?
Yeah, yes, I do.
We have one right from the Vice president bodyguard, uh, secret service?
I think is that over there?
They showed it Tuba last night where we've.
Moved everything, and we moved, we moved everything around. He knew exactly where they were, and then we started moving things to. You don't even know where your favorite you know you found Oh my goodness, you found it? Okay, hold on, hit he's literally running away. Where is it?
Larry?
This is Larry's favorite? Where's where's she going?
Okay?
He's speaking of my whole frame. He's speaking a whole frame.
Oh boy.
Okay, it's right there there you going from, Larry.
Don't you think that should have its own thing? Yeah?
US Secret Service right there, Rice President and Joe Web Secret Service, Buddyguard.
Uh wow, that's your favorite.
I see that having its own small frame layer.
Yeah.
No, this here is not the federal patches.
Your favorite. It shouldn't be in there with bunch the other ones.
F b I right here, you're a middle finger pointer. I didn't know that.

Let me ask you this, Yes, do you think I know you've seen Speedy's legs and you you talked about that and didn't know about your compound fracture and thank you for the gory story, but uh wow, wow what a scar? Uh do you think Speedy could pull you on the sled? I mean you pulled him on the sled. Do you think you think those those thighs could do it?
Yeah?
Yes, I sling you around, wouldn't it? And what do you say? What what's what do you hike? Hike? Did y'all know that? That's what they scream? Is hike?
I do?
Now you get it on the top there, but it won't.
That didn't right, is ge and jah?
So gee John, hike hike.
Husky? Uh? To stop the dogs that you go break and hook?
Okay, Larry, if you were forced, let's say that that God said you have to pick patches are all things involving sleds and sled dogs, and you had to get rid of one?
Which one would you let go?
I'd get rid of this, I'd get rid of the dogs that.
Okay, Oh I wouldn't.

The packers would have to go.
Sorry to hear that.
Let me ask you this what we saw Susie who don't like speedy. I'm surprised y'all don't own a husky. It's a little hot down here for him.
I get that right, real hot in here.
We're a husky. We wouldn't have a husky if someone was to give it to us.
Why it wouldn't.
It wouldn't be paired to the dog like Carolyn's.
Head, Speedy.
Does that make you feel bad a little bit?
Yeah? I mean they get hot. I mean and with all the fur and every they would really have to be an inside dog.
Well not necessarily, that wouldn't not there apparently.
But.
Inside outside no difference has.
Her own pen and he's a box or.
Yes, I saw that Mandad is friendly.
He's actually rescued Doug.

Go ahead and bring Yeah.
I tell you what, Larry, He'll pull on one yes problem.
Yeah, So Carolyn, it doesn't concern you at all that Larry keeps inviting people to your home that you don't even know they are.
Not really, I guess I'm getting used to it. I know it's iffy. It's iffy, but it's a lot of fun too, Okay, that's honest, Rick.
Yes, in front of us are two jackets the patches. No, yes, can you see it?

Yeah.
It is a range from Fairbanks, Alaska the White Horse in the Yukon Territory of Canada.
We wait, man, wait, are you saying the jackets bridge the gap between the ideita rod and the patch world?
No, some of the patches okay, from that you conquest.
But what should it be some Larry, shouldn't you have an area? Says?
This is all patches that that that that are part of the idea to Rod world. Maybe their own jacket, their own frame. It's some of this just seems a little a little unorganized.
I feel like I need to help you know now Now, now he's trying to miss with you, you're gonna send.
Him and got it under control.
I'm not sure we have.
It feels a little bit a little shooting from the hit ler.
Yeah. We have frames that that are in alphabetical order by the state. Uh, and so things might right now. We pulled everything out to show a little bit of a showcase for all of you, but it was a lot more organized up and down the hall and everything. But Larry, people want to talk to you all. So let's you want to go to another car.
Yeah, let's go rick Burgers. Show you're on, go ahead.
Yeah.
I just wanted to give Larry some insight.
He's that he always calls and gives people the spelling of his last name, so I wanted to give him the phonetic alphabet. So maybe we'll get me a little more clout, get people to give in. But so it's Hopkins correct.
That's correct.
Oh, so okay, Larry, So eight is for hotel?
Oh is oscar?
P is Papa Kay is Kilo, I is Indigo? In is November in s a Sierra.
Oh that's the airport panetic.
Yeah, right, that's good.

Okay, key klo November.

Like there was a man who loved dispatches.
Larry was his name?
Oh?
Hell?
Or?
What? Okay?
That was.
Question?
I ask you real quick, go ahead, but give money if I called you by your first name or your last.
Just as long as you call me Larry, you know, you can call me anything you like.
Buddy.
I think he really, I think he really wants to call you Chris, don't you, buddy? You want to call him Chris?
Still awkward? Awkward calling you by your last name.
Wow, that's what all men do. I'm gonna call you Hopkins.
Okay, Honey? Tell him what A friend in Kentucky calls you a friend?
Did I graduate with in Kentucky? Calls me Hoppy?
My name?

No, Larry Thomas?
So Larry Wayne? Okay?
Is it is?
It is Larry Wayne. It's not.
No, it's Larry Thomas.
Okay, LT all right, you got it? Laurence Rick Birders show your own go ahead.
I can only ask My question in song goes like this. If I said you had a beauty full ball, he would you hold it against me? If I swore you were angel, would you treat me.
Completely?
What?
Who you singing that to?
This is weird?
Who is he singing it to?
Speedy? Was he singing it to Carolyn? Who's he singing it to Larry.
And that's offensive. Respect, Larry said, Larry, sitting right there.
Yeah, Tiger the cat doesn't even know what to do.
Rick Birger's Show your Own go ahead.
About more then, lad straight?
Yes, me too, Larry, Greg too, Rick Burger's Show your Own go Ahead, y'all.
Good.
Hey Larry, Hey Carolyn, I got a question for y'all. I think you ought to maybe get Rick to come over there and help y'all hang up to Francis.
He's gotten so handy, and hey, you handler.
Come with him to help y'all fix that computer.
That's a that's a great We call that a true Rick Burger's Show. You're on the air, go ahead.
Well, this is my first time seeing Larry, and I'm gonna let you know this kind of ruined my experience. He's halfway normal looking. I was hoping to have a pump in his back or something.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry to disappoint you.
I haven't seen one. I haven't seen one pair of shoes since I've been here.
You love you.
He foot, he loves it well, and he loves his house shoes too. Well.
There it is, I mean the the audience. Wow, I mean they're just they can't get enough.
Yeah, well, thank y'all. This has been a lot of fun. So much Carolyn.
Can great job, great job, great job.
Speedy, all right, take everybody show.
I mean we havny times.
We said this the people of New York City, boy, and I know that they don't represent everyone. And like I say, I have a son and daughter in law that that lived there and plan on going to visit them. But does it doesn't matter what political affiliation you're with. Can't we all learn from mistakes? We all make them, evidently not. We all make them. And I always say, just don't waste them, right, I mean we make them,
we all make them learn from learn something. So the last time that New York City and any big city in America had the idea to go raise revenue by raising taxes on the most wealthy people, what happened? They all left yact. Do you realize there's forty nine other states. There's forty nine other states, and people can just move especially on with all that money. So Fidy is weighing in, Hey,
fity weighing in on this latest socialist. You know, the only thing worse than just a socialist is an Islamic socialist. You know, let's let's really double down, which I'm not sure those two things can go together, but I guess politically and it can. But so, Fiddy has offered to pay for the New York City Democrat may oral candidate. Is it zoron Zorn ma'am Danny, okay am I the am I in the ballpark?
Yes, yes, Zorrn, ma'am Danny, ma'am Danny, ma'am Danny.
Yes.
Said he would pay him to leave the state because he knows what his tax plan will be and he wants no part of it.
He said this on the Breakfast Club podcast.
Uh and apparently Ma'm Danny appeared there when he was talking about his plan, and now Fiddy, after hearing about that plan, has now come out and said I'll pay for this guy to leave.
He actually used Fitty as an example.
Yes he did, which is not which probably wouldn't. Fitty didn't like that.
He said, this is, this is, this is, Ma'm Danny said, we're talking about raising revenue. I want to trump proof this city. I'm raising corporate taxes and I want to raise taxes on the top one percent of New Yorkers. We're talking about people make a million dollars a year or more. We're going to tax them and increase their taxes. Also, corporations making millions, not just in revenue but in profit. I'm going to raise taxes on them as well. He said,
I know fifty is listening. He's not going to be happy about this. He tends not to like this tax policy. But I want to be very clear. This is about for him about twenty thousand dollars more a year. And he says, if I want to do this to make New York better, and so he says if fifty said, I don't know where he came from.
I don't know who this is. I don't like this plan.
And he says, I'll give him two hundred and fifty eight thousand, seven hundred and fifty dollars and a first class one way ticket from New York. And he said, I'm going to tell Trump what he said too about Trump proofing the city. So fifty doesn't like it, Nope, no longer well and really paying his way out of that New Yorkers. I just don't know how to break this to you. The reason why you have to watch these people. And I don't know how many more times
we have to say this. These things have been tried and they always fail. You can even be completely one hundred and eighty percent opposed to us politically, but all of us should be able to agree that you shouldn't keep trying things that fail.
Right, Well, yes, Jane, all right. First of all, no.
Political candidate can raise the kind of revenue that a city like New York needs or a country like the United States needs by raising taxes on one percent of the people. You could take one hundred percent of one percent and you won't get through a month. Okay, So this is absurd. The math does not work. They're going to come after everybody, and the most wealthy people we'll simply leave.
And this is this not a theory. I mean we've seen it in practice time and time again.
Rick, I'll give you an example from nineteen seventy one, the Rolling Stones here we go became techs exiles from the UK.
Do you know what the rate was?
What?
Ninety eight percent on the He said, ninety eight cents of every dollar is what they wanted.
Wow, And they packed their bags and left. It's never enough. And he's they, I mean what in the.
World and this guy, this guy's entire economic view is totally twisted and incorrect and communist. It truthfully is sure it is. Here's his plan for lowering prices in supermarkets in New York City. Here's a quick clip of him talking about this. And I mentioned that breadlines are gonna be coming back if you do this. That's what happened.
Those three prices are out of control. The cost of eggs and milk has skyrocketed. Dumb store or even using dynamic pricing, jacking up the cost over the course of a day, depending on what they can get away with. It doesn't need to be this way. I'm Zaradam Bunny, and as mayor, I will create a network of city owned grocery stores. Oh, it's like a public option for produce. We will redirect city funds from corporate supermarkets to city
owned grocery stores. Be Michuel is lower prices, not price gouging, and.
Bet that'll go well. Let me tell you what's gonna happen.
You'll go to the city owned like you said Adler, correctly, it's just like government owned. You'll go to the city owned grocery store and you will be able to buy whatever is available, and when you walk in there, because of how idiotic this is, and the basic things you need like toilet paper and feminine products will not be on the shelves and you're just gonna have to grab
what they have. Oh, you'll have a city grocery store and you'll be talking about how grade it is until you go in there and realize there's nothing on the shelves.
He doesn't get how the world works, guys. He goes on in the a food He goes Yes. He goes on in the in the Veto video to say these stores will operate without a profit motive, and that I go, well, and they're not gonna have to pay property taxes or rent and we will pass those savings onto you.
Do you realize.
It?
Go anywhere this has been tried in the world. Yes, And you'll go in and say, well, what are we getting for dinner this week? And everybody says, apparently they found a good deal on such and such pento beans. And so you go in there and the aisle has lots of pento beans. There's just not anything else, and you end up eating and using whatever they have. There's no free market and there's no choices. When you said feminine products at I got spoof.
This is I will not stand for that. Guys, when you don't operate, when you're operating without a profit motive, you have no motive to moderate with that too. There's no motive to make money, to be efficient, to do to provide a good service. It all goes out the window.
So come on, New York. Don't do this to your York.
Don't do this about to elect a communist.
Don't do this again. We'll be right back.
Let's call Speedy's on his way back, so let's let's call him and uh and just see if we can kind of ask a few questions. We couldn't ask why he was, you know, there with everybody except well, buzz h.
I like the fact that we're letting it ring.
Hello, Hey buddy, Hey man, hey, you're so you're live live all the way live, live, live all the way live.
You can't believe it. You can't believe it.
Oh yeah, yeah, right, yeah, yeah, you know it's uh, it's the right home after a ball game or after a workout.
You're just in the car, you know, and you're just you're just you're just kind of sitting here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and but hey, you know what it was, there's just the sweetest little couple.
Yeah, it was a big win. I think that I think I think they had fun. Uh you seem to be free. Uh, they let you leave. I think that was something that we were hopeful about. I want I have a very I have a very important it is I have a very specific question. I need to know take take the storms out of it. I know there were storms in that played a role. Were you able to sleep, like doze off to sleep? Was did sher exhaustion? And the time that we all get up did it
did it help you? Were you nervous? Were their noises? Tell me about the overnight?
Right?
Yeah?
Well, you know once Larry put me to put me to bed and read to me. Yeah, and then came back in shirtless. Uh I I I kind of had to kind of come down, uh and and you know, just kind of take a deep breath and turn the lights off. And I don't know why things start creating noise once the lights are off. I don't know if you just pay attention to them more, but it's almost like lights off make noise.
And I don't know what what's up with that?
They kind of went, they went to the other end of the house, and uh, and then I think it was a limb that was just outside their house from one of the bushes, because the storm rolled through, and so through through the window you have you have lightning, and so it kind of lights the room up a little bit like a horror movie, but not white. And then and then you start hearing something like on the window pane, you know, like scratching, like I want in
on it's it's like a limb, you know. And and then your mind starts playing tricks on you because I don't know why I felt this way, because it was such a pleasant house and they were so sweet, but you just you know, you're not you're not in your own bed.
You know.
And so and there were times I felt like something was crawling on my leg or touched my head, and I know that that was that was clearly just me.
How was the bad too hard? Too soft?
How was the bad.
Mattress's mattress and mattress and pillow We need to send them a healings right.
Well, no, the mattress mattress was okay, but for some reason, and I don't know. Larry even said, you know, hey, the mattress makes noise when you move.
He should know, like yeah, and uh.
And so every time, every time I kind of.
Moved my hip or reposition, he was like a little bit okay. And then but but I didn't know. I didn't want to sound too weird because if I moved too much.
He was like, right, so.
Weird because I'm in there by myself well, and so so I would wake up a little bit.
From time to time, I found myself dozing off. Have you ever dozed off?
But you're not sure if you did or not?
Yes, yes, you know, yes I do.
It's like, right, it's like have I been have I It's al much like your eyes are open with your eyes closed.
You're hung between somewhere between sleep. Did I sleep? How long was I gone? I felt like I was still conscious, but I'm not.
Sure I was exactly exactly.
And so I felt like there were times that I probably did doze off pretty good, but I felt like I didn't.
I know, I probably did, So.
You feel like I did, Yeah.
Yeah, you kind of.
I kind of feel like I did a little bit, but I'm still a little bit out of swords.
Just because it means I wasn't in my own bed.
But hey, look, you know, did you did you lock the door from the inside.
I did.
I knew it.
I knew it. You might as well be concious that's are very vulnerable.
Now.
They should do the same thing if they were at your house.
They don't know, right well, I felt like if they needed to get in, you know, he could probably have, you know, shouldered the door and popped it open if I needed help, you know, but I was not. I kind of just wanted to make sure I was in there by myself. And I don't think that I didn't know if he slept, sleep walks, I don't.
I didn't know.
Yeah. Absolutely, It's funny you said that because they said, you know, this is a little weird for us too.
I mean, yeah, they don't, you know, he said.
They said, you know, I hate to say this, but we're kind of a little a little nervous and anxious. This was our conversation had many prior to me getting there, and you know, it was like, hey, this was this is different for us too, you know, And so I tried to I mean, here we come, you know, a show, we're live.
I mean it was.
World.
No, you're right, and I think they've probably had to tell themselves over and over again. They have a they have a national platform. They it's a public platform. If Speedy comes over here to kill us, he's gonna get caught. Yeah, you know, I would have been thinking. I would have been thinking things like that.
Yeah, yeah, no, you're right.
I do want to Uh.
I don't know who it was.
From time to time because their address has been made public, we would have listeners coming by, honking like they were in a parade. Matter of fact, somebody even set off fireworks in the front yard and made me jump up. I didn't know what that was, and so, oh, yeah, I'm dead serious. And of course the bed the whole time is going because I'm jumping around.
I don't know what's up. But somebody said something off right by the window, and and so I don't know what it. I have no idea. I asked him, good neighbors.
He said, they don't normally do that, but I know it was probably all in fun from somebody. But met one of the listeners there in Dublin on the way out.
Very do you got the picture with that I saw? I guess he said, Uh, he must have sent it because it was on the text screen.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it was.
Was it Jordan, Jordan or Jordie? I can't remember. I think it might have been Jordan's. I think I might have that right. I apologize if I don't.
But yeah, he came by, and of course Carolyn, being the sweetheart, come on in.
You know, yeah, I worry about Yeah, and the food with the food looked good by the way.
The breakfast, yeah, yeah, it was. It was delicious.
And she showed out on breakfast and Larry, I just say this, Larry eats good. She's quite the cook.
We got a question from the text line, did you leave one soaking?
You have to ask? I'm just reading off the text.
Great, great, And your last question is did you leave one so well?
I mean it's like a trademark.
Did you did you?
Did you go to the restroom in the middle of the night?
Uh?
Rick Yuh.
There was one time I about eleven I picked out there. I kept thinking I was hearing something and I did a little SKay uh. But I didn't know if he was time because from time to time from the other side of the door, I would hear.
You know, and I'm like, well in the hall, you.
Know, my biggest concern and I put it on my Instagram story, is you know when you could you kind of come out of darkness.
Into light and stuff. Your your eyes are like real weird? Do I see the silhouette of Larry at the end of the hall. What's that about? But I did have to get up and pee you a couple of times. Uh, well twice.
I'm two every night.
Well, well, I had to drink.
You know, it was a long day and I didn't pull back on my drinking of water and coffee until late uh, just to kind of get me going and get me there. And I mean I had I was riding sleds and you know, having a good old time. But uh so I had.
Right, Uh did you did you inhale?
I did?
What was? Yeah? I saw you trying not to did did did the temperature in the room? Did you get it cool enough?
The window now, the window of the a c Uh? It was it was giving me all it got and I knew it was. So I couldn't complain to it because it was like, man, I'm trying as hard as.
I can, you know.
The uh.
Yeah, because it was really really hot.
Yeah, I could.
I could fill him, uh you know with the cold air, and so I knew he was trying. But that's still at times it was just so warm.
So he didn't get as cool in that room as you would have liked if you were like running things.
No, no, no, not not quite as.
I prefer However, it was not so warm that I couldn't sleep. Yeah, okay, okay, but I don't know if I slept.
What you're talking about. Were you surprised at the number of patches or did you need that coming?
No, I was.
I was overwhelmed with the amount of pact. I could not believe the amount of pacts. I thought videos and and the TV uh you know, uh, I guess piece they did on them where they came and he kind of gave you an idea. Guys, you don't understand. It is probably six frames deep all the way down the hall, and they have a little office that I didn't even.
Get to show y'all, and it had frames in there, come.
Set seven hundred and something, I think, wow, speedy frames.
And they said, they said in the in the collecting frame world that there that's not even that's nothing. I mean there's people that are like, really really into Speedy.
Be careful on the way home. Keep the caffeine rocking. I don't think you slept a lot, buddy, I just don't.
Uh yeah, great job, I have that feeling and reset. Great job, great, huge success, right, huge excess.
