Citibank Hero, Mourning Dolls, Albinos | The Rick Burgess Show | Best of 11/6/26
A Citibank employee stops a mad gunman before he can take more lives. We take the time to thank a good guy with a gun, once again. Rick stumbles upon a new trend: companies that make dolls that look like your deceased loved ones. Comforting or creepy? An albino porcupine shows up in Vermont, and we fall down the albino rabbit hole.

Things go off the rails pretty quickly today as Producer Speedy suffers an epic slip of the tongue.

Obama: Divider in Chief | The Rick Burgess Show | Best of 10/29/26
Obama says he is "tired of being divided" and that he "wants friendship" at a recent campaign stop. We play of clip of him saying that he wants people to "stay angry" and "frustrated." Race relations sunk to an all-time low after Obama's presidency, while Iran's abilities to perpetuate terror hit an all-time high.

Guest: Coach Senator Governor Tommy Tuberville | The Rick Burgess Show | Best of 10/28/26
Tommy Tuberville joins us live to clarify that we can just call him "Coach." Tuberville also lays out his playbook if he wins the upcoming election for governor of Alabama.

Brewers Keep Winning, Jay-Z Picks Himself, McRib is Back (Again) | The Rick Burgess Show | Best of 10/27/26
The Milwaukee Brewers are one game away from winning the World Series, scoring eight runs in the fifth inning last night. Should the national anthem be performed by a solo saxophonist? Jay-Z makes a big announcement regarding who will perform the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show: Jay-Z. The McRib is back again at McDonald's, and it's still not made of rib meat. Adler breaks down the suspicious voting numbers surrounding the "victory" of leftist Lula da Silva in Brazil's presidential election.

Lebron Hates The Country That Made Him a Billionaire | The Rick Burgess Show | Best of 10/23/26
LeBron James shows just how ungrateful, narcissistic, and immature he is by working on his golf swing during the singing of the national anthem. The country that made him a billionaire can't be that bad. What a terrible look and message to send to the black youth who idolize the professional basketball player. Speaking of immature, Producer Speedy lets Greg slap him while we are live on the air. Actor Tom Skerritt passes away. World Series Game 1 happens tonight. New Jersey Mayor Matthew Bianchini (R) runs toward a complaining resident and has to be restrained.

Beavers Are Actually Good, Trump Doesn't Endorse JD | The Rick Burgess Show | Best of 10/22/26
Beavers have gotten a bad reputation as a pest or nuisance. New studies call for the beaver to be celebrated as one of the planet's most vital "keystone species" and ecosystem engineers. Trump is asked about his presidential endorsement for the 2028 election and things get awkward because JD Vance is standing right behind him. We can watch the clip only three or four times.

France Is Burning, Is America Learning? | The Rick Burgess Show | Best of 10/20/26
Nationwide riots lead to chaos and violence across France. Is this really just "students" peacefully protesting as the media would like you believe? The footage and facts prove otherwise. Will America learn from France, who is a nuclear power by the way, or make the same mistakes we've seen across Europe?
