Hayden Alabama Podcast

Rick Burgess joins the Hayden Alabama Podcast for a conversation full of Southern stories, childhood trouble, hunting memories, brother fights, and the kind of testimony that stops the room. What starts with hilarious old-school stories about brush fires, coon hunting, and growing up in Alabama eventually turns into one of the most honest conversations we’ve had.

Rick shares the moment a pastor refused to marry him and told him something he did not expect to hear: even though he had been baptized, raised around church, and knew the language of Christianity, the fruit of his life told a different story. That confrontation led him to the book of James, submission, repentance, and a life changed by Jesus Christ.

This episode is for anyone who loves real Southern storytelling, outdoor memories, hunting stories, faith conversations, and powerful testimonies that hit deeper than expected. It is funny, uncomfortable, convicting, and full of the kind of stories you don’t forget.

A 12-year-old boy went hunting with his dad in the snowy woods of Pennsylvania. A shot rang out near his dad’s tree, and at first, everyone thought his dad had gotten a buck. What happened next became a hunting accident that changed his family, his faith, and the direction of his life forever. In this episode of the Hayden Alabama Podcast, Mark Witt shares one of the most powerful outdoor stories we’ve ever heard — a true story involving hunting, grief, bitterness, forgiveness, and the kind of testimony you don’t forget. What started as a deer hunting trip became a life-changing moment that later reached far beyond the woods.

This was supposed to be a normal hunting trip in the mountains… but it turned into one of the most stressful situations we’ve ever been in. From losing gear on the highway to a mule falling off a mountain, everything started going wrong fast. And just when we thought it couldn’t get worse—we ended up somewhere we were NOT supposed to be… with a park ranger on our trail. If you enjoy real outdoor stories, hunting trips gone wrong, and moments where everything is on the line… this one’s for you.

But beneath the laughter, we’re tackling a much bigger question: Why does modern life feel so draining? We take a deep dive into how selfishness is the ultimate thief of joy and how a shift in perspective can change everything.

This might be the closest call we’ve ever talked about on the Hayden Alabama Podcast.

In Episode 162, we’re digging into a story that almost ended in disaster. It involves a 15-year-old, a Game Warden’s county-line trap, and a split second where a rifle actually went off while someone was holding the barrel.

We’re also catching up on some other local chaos and lessons learned the hard way, including:

- The "Fake Deer" Sting: What happens when two Game Wardens from different counties team up

- The Barrel Incident: A terrifyingly close call that could have been much worse

- Stuck for 6 Hours: The reality of getting a skid-steer buried in the Alabama mud

- The Squirrel Story: Why you should always double-check your small game.

Just some good stories about growing up, hunting, and surviving our own bad decisions.

Is this the most terrifying (and funniest) Southern story ever told? We’re not sure how a 3-year-old in Crocs, a Nerf football, and a fireworks disaster all connected in a single episode, but that's what happens on the Hayden Alabama Podcast.

In this new episode of Episode 161, your favorite Southern storytellers are back, and things get wildly out of hand. We dive into the unbelievable (but 100% true) story that inspired the title: a toddler climbing a 24ft ladder while wearing nothing but Crocs. But the chaos doesn't stop there.

This episode is packed with funny Southern stories and relatable, heart-stopping mishaps, including:

- The improbable science of how a foam Nerf football actually dented a GMC Jimmy. (We still don't understand the physics).

- A Fourth of July celebration that went very wrong when a firework show set the woods on fire. * Other classic Southern humor stories about growing up, making bad decisions, and surviving our childhood.

Whether you love crazy stories, enjoy Southern humor, or are looking for a funny podcast about the ups and downs of life, this episode is for you.
