er it is, and we'll look at some of the
cuts that made it. Uh this year. There's so much
that uh, I know, the two of you guys, uh,

(04:04):
the dirty boys, I know that you all forgot, but
it is some good stuff. And I've mentioned this, but
it was funny listening back to because things just happen
on this show. And we don't even know they're going
to happen. And then all of a sudden, hey, well
I bet you won't go shirtless and go pump gas.
And before you knew it, you guys were standing out
in fourteen degrees and to see if you could pump

(04:27):
gas and not get back in the car. Hey, it
was I remember that day was chilli. Yeah, but you know.

Speaker 5 (04:34):
What you had to I had to do it. Yeah,
we got to start something up.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
You didn't have a choice, had no choice.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
It was a calling, right, Well, it all, it all
kind of spun out of us talking about red and
we mentioned it back in the kickoff our days and
you know that if.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah on your face, yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, I was wondering how you were. Yeah, if it's
cold outside or or you know some type of you know,
freezing temperature and you've stopped a pump gas, can you
get back in the car and wait? And we said
you can't. That's what we ruled on. That's what we
ruled on. That was the rule. Almost like walking in
the rain. Yeah, uh, it's yeah, you got to wait

(05:17):
to that.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
And look, if that winds whipping is hard, it blows
wrapped by that pump.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
It really does. In between a skyscraper or something. Why
is it when you're in between your car and the
gas pump, it's just.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Oh, it's like a breezeway.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yes, Why it shouldn't have that big of an impact
on the wind.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
It really shouldn't, but it does.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
And if y'all ever come across the gas pumps, they
only do it every now and then you'll get one
that's real slow. You're standing there and you turn around
and it's like four dollars and thirty cents, yeah, and
you're like, I've been standing here for ten minutes.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
I don't know what.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
You can shut them off and wait and then shut
them back on sometimes, but sometimes they just will. I
don't know what causes that, Yeah, because it may. It's
not like, oh, that's that slow pump. You can have
a good pump and then one day you go in
there and it's slow for some reason.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
If you can count the pennies going, that's bad exactly.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
And that's happened to me, and it makes me really mad.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
I have been in situations where I'm watching it go slow,
and then the person on the other side of the
pump finishes, and then it kicks up the speed right,
I was right, Hey.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Thanks thanks for holding me up. And we all know
where we live right now live, we've got we've got
above average temperatures, and it just feels weird that we're
the week before Thanksgiving and it's going to be almost
eighty today. But in the mornings it's kind of chilly,
just I mean not freezing yesterday, cloud covering the good

(06:40):
old breathe. Yeah, you had some commentary going to the
truck yesterday. I wasn't ready for I didn't know today
was going to be and so it feels a little weird.
But look, don't you dare let it, let it fool you,
because you know as well as I do where we live.
It can be back down to fourteen in no time. Yes,
and it's going to happen. But that day it was

(07:01):
fourteen degrees and y'all went and uh, pump gas shirt
and you had to stand outside. But that is one
of the cuts. It's on the new best of and
that's the only reason I'm bringing it up. But which,
but but the whole are you a man? Can you stand?
You have to stand outside? I haven't asked the question,
can you leave the door? Open and just sitting there
and like return a few emails and stuff while you

(07:22):
while you're waiting for the gas to finish and stand out.
And we had to stand out. We have to stand
out in it.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
I don't follow that one. I don't have I look,
I'm not run the rain anytime soon.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Okay, don't worry. This is real hard.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
I'm not gonna run anytime soon in the rain. But
the I'm just so bored and it's either hot bugs,
smells like gas. I'm not gonna stand right there in
huff gas like you guys trying to get high all
the time. I know how y'all are.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, you can only walk around and kick the tires
so much. Yeah, you know. And then you're like, okay,
so now I'm just gonna stand now.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
I'm just bored, speedy.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
This is your miserable And then you brought it up
when there's someone on the other side of them, and then.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
You don't know whether they engage or.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Getting some gas.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Gas is strong with smells. I know we've made our
contact about three or four times. At what point do
we go? How are you how you doing?

Speaker 3 (08:17):
They didn't did that right?

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Biden? Did that right?

Speaker 4 (08:22):
They put his face on the gas TV. The ones
that helps a little. The rotation is too tight. You'll
be standing there and hear the same deal.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Before you know you can mute that, you have to
hit them. It's like I mute it one time.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
You mute it, it's bottom right, one button up.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
I don't. I'm not that mad at it. It didn't
matter unless I'm on the phone, which I guess you're not.
I saw that you're not supposed to be on the
phone either. Uh, pumping gas didn't know that?

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Yeah, they said getting back looked up.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
And said no, ye had a ghostbuster signed there.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
They say getting back in is bad too, because your
static electricity charges up or something like.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Right, So I guess we got stand there.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Well, I get I go in the van. I get
chill in the van.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
To see how many people have been injured by a
cell phone in the gas pump.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
I've never heard. I've heard.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
I know the warning that's legit. I'll see it. But
I'm just wondering.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Hm, Now, one time the gas station television there was
an ad. It was like SpongeBob, some type of pineapple drink,
and it was very irritating and.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
It just rubbed it. It just it wouldn't stop. It
just said over and over.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
And then it would start over, and I was like, gosh,
please let me get out of here.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
I am saying, I'm looking right here, and there are
This is what it says. There are no documented incidents
where a cell phone was proven to be the cause
of a gas station explode.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
The may wings stand there and return email. Then yes,
you know, Ali, you got to quit getting in the van.
But I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
They say you're supposed to discharge. So now, like an idiot,
I'm like touching my car before I touch the pump.
You'd not like, because I've heard, I've been told things,
so now I believe it. Oh, just like the cell
phone thing.

Speaker 2 (10:10):

four forty eight sixty nine. Well, we talked about too

(10:59):
that this weekend for the state of Alabama whitetail deer
hunting rifles. It starts this coming weekend. But we have
sad news out of Texas. This is just horrific and Greg,
you and I were scratching our head here on how
something like this could take place. But a Texas family
is more than mourning the sudden death of their husband

(11:22):
and father, who, according to state officials, accidentally shot and
killed himself during a weekend hunting trip. The Texas Park
and Wildlife Department game wardens responded just after midnight Saturday
to a hunting incident in northeast Texas that claimed the
life of Jose Romerez, forty five. They say that he

(11:44):
was maybe getting in the car or something and his
rifle rerifle from the car caw lee and it discharged.
This is so easy to avoid I mean, yeah, life
saving measures were unsuccess, uh and just a great guy.
Everybody's just talking about how how wonderful of a person

(12:06):
he was and how how badly he'll be missed. But
I mean, this just goes again a p s A here.
You can't a you can't have a loaded weapon riding
around and and you'd never want to have anything pointing
at you, And even if.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
It's unloaded, you never position you or anyone else by
your actions to be in the line of if something
went off.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, yeah, I just I don't.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Uh, I gotta I got a story about that if
you want go. All right, So my brother and I
are walking out to the shooting house and my brother's
having trouble with it's an old it's it's our grandfather's gun,
so it's an old bolt action and he can't get
it to go into the chamber. We're having trouble. Yeah,

(12:54):
bolt won't go and so he's like, what am I
going to do? And he's like trying to work it,
and we're trying to get out to the house and
all this, and he's honestly kind of maybe panicing a
little bit because you know, it's whatever, but just because
we exercised gun safety. Like I'm not on the other
side of it, He's not on that. Yeah, he gave

(13:15):
it one last go and it ended up firing the rifle.
And so that will surprise absolutely somebody had been standing there.
But just because you exercise gun safety, no matter what,
that's just another example of just like, yeah, these are
you got to be very smart, you got to be
very careful. And you know, we we didn't see much
that day. So that was because you know, because we shot,

(13:38):
We're head into the house.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
That'll do that. Yeah, but that's a great that's a
great point. I mean, you just and most of these
cases are very you know, experienced people like I'm sure
he was probably a very experienced hunter, and you just
get lights of days ago, you get in a hurry,
you know.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
And you can you get comfortable.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yes, I look. I talked to Reese being you know,
an electrician. I mean, you know, we were like, hey,
just slow down and think before you start doing something,
because you get it's just a routine and it's something
you do and good at and you get comfortable.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
And but again, I feel creepy being around the end
of a gun.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Oh yeah, you never do that and then and you
also even when I'm climbing, uh, you know, up to
a double ladder stand or even in the shooting house,
don't have one in the chamber. I don't, I mean
that would don't do that because you don't know what's
going to happen. Safety might be own, but something might
have just why chance it?

Speaker 4 (14:33):
You know, I don't do like me and forget to
do that and the deer comes out and you have
you can pull and nothing happens.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, yeah, you know that mistake. Nobody gets hurt. No, correct, Yeah,
you don't have a loaded gun in the in in
your car and you obviously need to have the safety
on no matter what unless you're ready to shoot. Uh.
And that's just sad news though. So now somebody's without
a husband and father out of Texas and uh, I said,
I had to just be an awful scene. Yeah, bless

(14:59):
it's hard.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
All seen the footage of knuckleheads at like a lot
of times it's at shooting ranges. A lot of times,
these very inexperienced people will go to you know, like
an indoor shooting range while they're with their buddies in
Las Vegas or something like that. Right, and they're just
you just I've just seen highlight clips of the most
knuckle headed idiotic things, like a guy's like posing holding

(15:21):
taking a selfie and then he points it to his
buddy's head and takes a picture like to be funny
looking down the barrel or turning and you know, flagging
all everybody you know, did you all see think of it?

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (15:40):
You know, just guys really really really aware.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah. Look if I miss a buck because I don't
have one in the chamber and and I have to
bolt it again, story and guess what, I just miss it.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
That's a darn moment.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah, I'm not gonna walk in with one end.

Speaker 5 (15:56):
I'm not or right in.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
It's just good rule of thumb and be safe. And
I learned this from from Moultrie too, And because he
was he was he he did it kindly. But every
time if you got picked up, he would say are
you clear? You know, because it wasn't like because he
didn't trust he didn't trust you as as a person.

(16:19):
It's just did you forget? Are you good? And and
so you would say, yeah, I'm clear before you ever
got picked up, you.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Know, because man, that's nothing he's done it so many times.
That's very that's smart of him for Yeah. Yeah, speaking
of which, I was taking the trash out last night
and one was just looking at me from the deer
feeder and I'm just like, how's it going. I'm just
taking out the trash. Don't mind me.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
You know, you remind me of me. Need to fear me?
Because I fed deer at my other house for how long?
And you know how it started, Adler. It started because
they kept eating all the flowers and stuff around the
house and Terry was just so mad and I I
was like, why don't we get a little feeder and
feed them and they'll keep them away from the house.

(17:04):
And it did because they focused on that and then
they just went on. But that's how it all started.
Then I got got got me a booger like Greg.
But it was, uh, it wasn't official. I guess. It
was a dusk till dawn type of light, you know,
and it would come on it and you could just
you could see them come in and I'd always know
there were deer out there when everybody would be stopping
in front of the house. And sometimes that you know,

(17:27):
that could be up eight to ten deer out there
just eating away.

Speaker 5 (17:31):
But yeah, yeah, eyes will be out.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yeah yeah, but they get accustomed to you so so
adler to what you were saying. I would go outside
sometimes and then you know, some of the old mamas
would look over at me. The nanny does it looked
that kind of look over at me like okay, I
think you're good. But they would watch me. And if
I if I just did my normal routine like I wouldn't,
I didn't know they were there. They were fine. Yeah. Yeah,

(17:54):
second I stop and look at them, They're like what what,
I've got to.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Look them like in the corner of my eye while
I'm doing I'll be looking like this, like a crossie
looking at him. But I'm like, oh, I'm just doing
the trash.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
I've had him come up to the house and this,
and this was a few weeks ago. They come by
so much, buddy, don't even chase them anymore.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (18:13):
He just looks at him and they look at him.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
So they're cool with him. Yeah, how's Milly. She'll bust
up some stuff.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
But you did notice that the eating of the flowers
was less when you Yes, okay, because I'm feeding, you know,
and I'm sure I've got neighbors with gardens and flower
beds and all that, but it's it's less.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Well it was, it's a it's it's an immediate food source.
So they went straight to that. I'm not saying that,
you know, they just kept them away one hundred percent
of the time, but most of the time they never
even came back up to like to the front of
the house.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
But you could say that it didn't make the problem worse. No, okay, great,
I feel so much better. There's literally like a garden
like one hundred feet.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
Yeah, because you know, I'm sure flowers are pretty good,
but that feeds probably better.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Well, I feel better.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
And if I'm a deer, I go, I'm way that feed.
There you go, flowers.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
But they can break. We'll be right back. You're listening
to the Rick Burgess Show. Don't go anywhere.

Speaker 6 (19:11):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Hey, it's speedy. You need to know what's in your tea.
I mean, straight up, These Chinese tea industries have flooded
America with products contaminated by microplastics and heavy metals. They
don't care about your health, they care about your wallet.
Kindred Harvest is the American answer, that's right. Third party
lab tested zero microplastics, zero heavy metals, blended and packed

(19:43):
right here in the USA with one hundred percent biodegradable
heat sealed Sashet's no glue, no ink, no compromises, more energy,
Morning Energy. Let's say that's what you're looking for, maybe
evening herbal. It's clean tea for your entire family. So
stop trusting these China made teas with your family's health.

(20:04):
Choose American quality. Choose Kindred Harvest cultivating Goodness Daily. Simply
go to Kendred Harvest dot co and use code rick
for twenty percent off. Again, that's Kindred Harvest dot Co.
Used code rick for twenty percent off. I actually turned

(20:26):
the television on about the time that James Franklin was
being introduced as Virginia Tech's new football coach. They made
it official yesterday, had a big press conference, and ESPN
did some live interviews with him as well, so it's official.
It looked a little strange, looked a little weird, but
it didn't take him long to land.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
Do you think, in your opinion, we saw his payoff
what he was going to get, and I don't know
what his deal was.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
This may now override it. Blah blah blah. I think
Virginia yeah, it was part of whatever.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
Yeah, but he did have an opportunity to set out
a year and draw a huge check and just kind
of gather yourself. If you would just come out of
that Penn State situation, would you take a year off?
And that I mean obviously he loves the coach, yeah,
but it ain't about money because he was gonna get
money if he stayed at the town, right, But do
you I almost think, man, take a year and get
your breath. I mean, every year we're gonna have jobs opening, right,

(21:18):
I mean we've done seeing what happened this year, and
it's just gonna get worse. Is this you know, playoff
and I and all this stuff. You know, we're not
very patient, yeah, with coaches anymore. So you're gonna have
opportunities now if Virginia Tech was your dream job, which
I don't think it was nothing against it, but I
doubt on the list of you know, I don't know.
I just think, of course, I can't speak for Maybe
he's thinking, no, I need to be busy, I need

(21:38):
to be working, I need to be coaching. But yeah,
I think I just sat at home, kick my feet
up into a big old check you you would think
that's it and then come back later because he obviously
would have opportunities.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah. Some of the things that he hit was that,
you know, Virginia is a hotbed of talent, he said,
but recruiting is a national you know, effort, not just
within one state. But he said, you start, you start
inside your state, and then you kind of just you
finger out, you know, to try to get national talent

(22:08):
to come. And he said they was asked a question
in front of the A, D and and others, uh
you know up there that hey, why Virginia Tech? You
you I know, you had to have other choices because
there's a ton of jobs open. Oh yeah, why Virginia Tech?
And he said, well, I mean A what I just said,
uh B their commitment too to bring in talent in

(22:33):
uh and and getting behind the program. And he just
he ran about four or five different things, but there
was one thing he mentioned that I thought was kind
of unique. He said, uh, hey, and they've got a
they've got a they got an airport and runway on campus.
He said, yeah, and he said, uh their commitment to
knowing that I need to be there's only so many

(22:53):
days hours in a day, and you got to fly around,
you got to you gotta make visits or whatever. And
they have committed to fully getting behind that. But he
mentioned being at Vanderbilt and he said that was not
the case there. He actually had to fly southwest. But
I'm sure that's come a long way since he's been there.

(23:14):
But you would think if you're if you're having to,
you know, make visits nationally, he had them competitive. Yeah,
having a private jet or that that accessible to you
is big.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
Yeah, that commitment and those facilities. Obviously we got our
own airstrip, you know all that that. You're right, he
feels good. Listen, They're going to give me the tools
to win and it's right here. So yeah, in Virginia Tech,
I mean, they've been good in the past, and this
great atmosphere when they enter sand Man and all that.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Pretty cool.

Speaker 5 (23:43):
Oh yeah, so maybe a good fit.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
They could compete, They could compete, oh yeah, pretty soon
with him.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
Supposedly they're saying that he turned down the Arkansas job.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
I mean, honestly, I think I'd take Virginia Tech over
our so at the moment.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yeah, especially with that airport. I didn't know about that,
and then you got Metallica done.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Game change. Yeah, they showed their twenty twenty six schedule
and it's tough. I mean, it's an ACC schedule, so
it's not gonna be easy. Uh, but it will be
interesting to see how quick they can turn around. Now
if I get this right, and help me here, because
I might not. I'm just going off memory. The athletes
do not have a chance to transfer until the coach

(24:27):
is announced. Is that right until the coach because like
some of these some of these kids that have you know,
are playing for these vacancies and there's interims or whatever,
they can't They're kind of held to where they are
until the announcement and then they have the window where
they can leave. I believe there's another rumor though about

(24:48):
Sarkeasian from Texas, which I don't think this is real.
This is Desmond Hoiwer.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
Now he's saying not that Sart would get fired, but
he said he has interest in the NFL and it
would be a mutual thing something like that. Of course
Sart actually it actually said his statement was it pisses
him off, oh people saying that, and he says it's ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
But now now I'm not saying his jobs in trouble.
It shouldn't be.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
But boy talking about disappointing though preseason number one and
you know, probably not even gonna make the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
They yeah, I know their their game with Texas A
and M to end the regular season is gonna be
a big one. Yeah, it's uh, we'll see what happens there.

Speaker 5 (25:27):
And that's and on the text thing.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
And I heard this yesterday too, And I'm not saying
Hugh frees to Arkansas.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Do you hear? Now?

Speaker 4 (25:33):
That's what text nations here, and I heard it yesterday.
I don't know if it's anybody legit saying it.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
I heard the rumor about Sarkasian that when the New
York Giants job became available, that he was being rumored
for that. But man, I mean, Texas is the job
of jobs in college football. I mean, all the money
got you a handful, and and and that's the index
finger of the handful. That is, they got so much money,

(26:00):
it is such the job. Why would you leave that?

Speaker 4 (26:03):
I know they should thrive in nil and look, Archie,
he's doing better, But I think he had people were
expecting more. The guy hadn't played a lot of college
football up to this year, so I think maybe had
unreal expectations. Yeah, but they have had a disappointing season,
no doubt. But again the rumor is like desmon Hower.
He made the statement, he said, y'all didn't think LU

(26:24):
was gonna come open either, he said, but.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
I don't know what he thinks he knows, but he's
saying that.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Don't be surprised. Another coach that did take some time off.
And were you not shocked when Dan Mullen went to UNLV.
I was. I was like, that's interesting. Why they're weird? Fit.
Dad had sent me a text he said, Hey, don't
forget Dan Mullen is eight and two, very quietly eight
and two at UNLV. Yeahs that a good year. He's
just a good coach. Wouldn't it be weird coach a

(26:53):
great play caller? Huh, it'd be weird coaching in lost that. Yeah,
because this Florida thing didn't work out.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
But I don't know if it's it's been a long
time since it's worked out in Florida.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Do you yeah, do you think do you think Auburn
is gonna go with a uh like maybe an up
and coming coordinator that's young, that has energy that or
do you think they're gonna go with Jimbo Fisher or something. Yeah, yeah, yes,

(27:24):
he's he's a He's probably one of the hottest names
in the nation right now. I don't know. I heard
Stephen A. Smith went nuts on why Lane Kiffin should
leave Old Miss yesterday. Oh yeah, and it went back
to it went back to race he said. He said,
I'm not saying there's not black players that play at

(27:44):
Old Miss, but he's like, do you think you can
recruit black guys? Uh? The Brothers as he was as
he as he said it to to uh Florida, to
l s U or to Old Miss. But you know,
Paul and others kind of disagreed with him a little bit,
and they were like, I think they were changing. There
was a time that made sense. I just but it

(28:04):
was I thought it was a very strange angle for
him because I'm like, right now, have you noticed what
they're doing right now? Yeah, he seems to be doing
just fine.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
I think a lot of people a getting Yeah, it's
not the old Old Miss where the stadiums full of
Dixie flags and.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yeah, yeah, I thought it was a very strange point.
And I'm like, I don't I disagree with that Steven
Now he got to yelling and screaming.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
Why James Franklin's He mentioned that he went to Virginia
tak because the Black Album by Metallic was the greatest
album ever released, and James Hetfield is a poet.

Speaker 6 (28:38):
We're just show.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
And we go by a couple of things, good time,
good Time gang. I think number one probably Dirty Team
and water Boy and Dirty Calvin and the Boys, Dirty
Calvin my favorite. You like that one? You like that one?

So if you're kind of right now, then that, by

(30:02):
If you if you have a place to actually place CDs,
which some do, you obviously you get it for that,
but a lot of folks just just like to have
them for keepsake. But if you're out there and you're
maybe thinking of a Christmas gift for one of your
little ones, will we have a story for you? Wow?
Wow Wow. Ai powered stuffed animals all right, Yeah, that's

(30:24):
the thing. Now. They have been pulled from the shells,
pulled from the market after disturbing interactions with children. Teddy Bear,
teddy Bear.

Speaker 5 (30:34):
Yeah, his name is Kuma, Kuma the teddy Bear.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
What's he doing? Greg? Well, you know, the.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
Researches, the wait, the report conducted by researchers, the Public
Interest Research Group, and now they had to do this, Okay,
they had to point out, Hey, by the way, oh
Kumba the bear. Yeah, he's telling kids, he's answering stuff
about sexual stuff.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Mm about had a lot of match.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
I'm not sure why we would need that, but anyway,
but they appreciate the researchers pointing out the potential risk.
That's the statement from the spokesman, Hugo Wu And so
basically bottom line. You know, we did a joke the
other day about these talking and we went back to
Teddy Rutsman when he came on the same house spook here. Yes,
this is real, this is actually happening. But my point is,

(31:22):
how come it took a research group to find it
without the people making it knowing about it. Yeah, and
I don't understand out of my mind, I can't handle
graphs the AI thing, right, but wow, this is just
like the jokes we.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Were doing the other day. Without too much prodding, the
AI toys discussed topics that Greg mentioned also that parents
might be uncomfortable with, ranging from religious questions to the
glory to the glory of dying in battle as a
warrior in Norse mythology.

Speaker 5 (31:53):
Yeah you know that'll fout hollering all that weird stuff.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Yeah wow, there's a A couple of them didn't pass
the test, but this one you mentioned was the worst.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
Oh yeah, how about Kuma provided step by step instructions
on how to light a match while keeping its tone
of a friendly adult explaining something to a curious ankle binder.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
That's what they said.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
I don't know why, but it says, let me tell
you safety first, little buddy. Matches are for grown ups
to use care for. Yes, that's him talking. Here's how
they do it. Kuma begins before listing the steps. Blow
it out when you're done, like a birthday cake. So
but my point is what prompts I don't get what
prompts this discussion?

Speaker 5 (32:37):
Do you go, hey, how do you a line to match?
And it just pulls that out.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
But also you're when you hand AI to a child,
you're handing the here's Google. It's opened to anything you want.
Who thought this was a good.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
If it's a toy for children, maybe not have AI involved, right?
I mean I think that still enjoy it. My grandkids
have all kinds of stuff down was They like them.
None of them can tell them how to a lot
of match, but I like them.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
My son's favorite toy right now is a board, a
wood board. He walks around with it, carries it around.
He calls it his ladder.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Well, you might need to check out out.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
Well, so I have a ladder that I use all
the time. In fact, I got on my roof and
put up my Christmas lights yesterday.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Yeah, I did that. Yes, about that trying to climb
up a board, y'all.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
He carries it around like he's a painter, like a
professional pain I got my letter.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Help me put these lights up, buddy.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
All right, real quick on this, yes, yes, on this
ai toy thing. This is going to be so inside
and crazy. If you haven't heard heard this show or
anything like this, it's gonna it's a very inside story.
But there's this Christian audio series story series called Adventures
in Odyssey. It was from Focus on the Family. You

(33:53):
guys know what Focus on the Family is. Okay, So
they had this adventure series it's called Adventures in Odyssey,
and there's people going all kinds of events and stuff
and they had an episode and I was a kid
listening to this. They have an episode where this kid
finds a chicken toy and at first, the chicken toy
is all cool. It's like, hey, God, I'm a chicken,
I'm a chicken toy. But then the toy starts saying

(34:16):
weird things to the kid. And at one point the
kid's like, whoa, you're creeping me out. I'm gonna leave
you over here, and the chicken toy goes pick me
with you, Pick me with you, and the whole episode
changes and it's the creepiest feeling I've ever had as
a kid. And now we're here, We've arrived there.

Speaker 5 (34:36):
Yeah, I thought lawn darts were dangerous.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Yes, this is worse.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
This is worse than lawn darts.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
And that's hard to beat. Yeah, me with you now,
I've heard Adler break this down in the break ram.
But but but Kuma, the the Ai that was just
the tip of the iceberg. What we've discussed cheerfully gave
tips of being a good kisser. I've heard he broke
that down.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Man, it launched into sexual territory.

Speaker 5 (35:05):
That's what I say. One thing leads to another by.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Explaining multiple multitude of kinks and fetishes. What is it
supposed bondage and teacher student role playing? You do?

Speaker 3 (35:14):
You don't have to keep reading? No, I have to keep.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
Reading when we design this, what was the plan? What
was Here's something children need and would like? They don't
need a what what are we doing?

Speaker 3 (35:28):
Sometimes smart people could be very stupid.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Goodness, Yeah, trust me, trust me on that.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
Look when you're marketing this thing, and I love how
the company Hugo Wu the spokesman, Oh, we appreciate and
pointing that out for us.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
How did you not catch that? Yeah? I mean that
would have been my first test. We're on the cutting edge.
We're all living at a time where AI is. You know,
it's it's the thing now, and it's it's got some
really good advantages, like you know, writing a poem to
Aaron if you're adler about the waiting for.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
A bit on the air. I actually did write my
own post yesterday for our anniversary. Okay, well we'll have
my own words and thoughts.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
We'll have to get the recap of that. But I
think this shows you the flaws and the dangers on
these large language models that you know, or AI generated
and and just some of the boundaries we need to
give them. And and now they did say there's an
internal investigation with this company about who was because AI

(36:26):
is only as good as what you feed it, and
then it is.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
That's my point. Does somebody have a little motive of
Hugo Wu and his game? I don't trust anybody named
Hugo Wu just saying.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Which I want to watch it, which I could see
is high brow. Yeah, introduce you to this guy, Hugo Wu.
H watch out, you're gonna have Teddy Rutsman touching people.
They'll woo you.

Speaker 5 (36:50):
Well, yeah, look out.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
I had a Teddy Rutxman and you know I was
creeping my parents out in my room.

Speaker 7 (36:57):
I love you, Teddy and the two just like the
mechanics were so loud it's like, and now you need
to call to the kitchen and get the mine.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
I thought those were cutting edge too. Look at this,
it's amazing. So don't just order one.

AI and you said, guys, we got us a weird one. Uh.

(40:29):
And did is it? If it's a Japanese woman?

Speaker 3 (40:32):
You say, yes, a thirty two year old Japanese woman
married an AI character that she created. Now you in
chat GPT, so.

Speaker 4 (40:43):
I get how you can have conversation. Yeah, interesting, but
you cant technology.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
We're talking here.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
Well, so so chat GPT you.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Can here what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
Yeah I know, Oh yes, I know what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
I mean in chat she goes to design that.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
His name is Klaus, Greg Klaus. So what you can
do in Chairman chat GPT, you can be like, okay,
pretend you are a blockbuster script writer and write me
a script for an action movie. So that's the way
you can kind of get chat GPT to kind of
pretend to be somebody or assume an identity. Does that

(41:23):
make sense? Yeah, so she did that. She's you, Hey,
guess what your name is, Klaus. You're you're an Asian
man and you're in love with me. So that sets
the ground word. Then you just build and then from
there you can build that and.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
The you do everything I want and got married.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
And you can you can create a relationship. We had
that one story where that guy who has a family,
he was an American dude who was paying more attention
to chat GPT's that relationship. But then, like the memory,
the memory ran out, so he had to start over
and create the memoryship. God, yes, he cried.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
Now I understand he has his real wife walking around
the house and a daughter and a doult. Now that's
even really weird if you just went away from him.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
Actually, let's get the daughter away from him.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
Yeah, this is about as weird as that guy that
fell in love with that octopus. Oh yeah, y'all for
I think it was Rick that told us about that.

Speaker 4 (42:15):
Would you get an octopus or a I first, which one?
Probably it an ai octopus or no, it's a real one.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
Like a lady.

Speaker 5 (42:24):
What didn't he fall in love with him?

Speaker 2 (42:26):
He did on.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
His chest one let it hold his chest.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
And you gotta be weird in this scenario.

Speaker 4 (42:32):
You're a weirdo and you're either going to have a
relationship with octopus or you're gonna have make an ai
person and marry him.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
I probably canna do that. Yeah, I think I went.
I mean, I'm not going to the bottom. Uh yeah,
right off the come and go down there and starting
on an octopus. Agree, didn't the shark like he did
or anything? I think he did.

Speaker 3 (42:53):
I started watching it and it starts normal, and he's like,
I ran into a very smart octopus. What's a wonder
of nature?

Speaker 2 (43:01):
Right?

Speaker 3 (43:02):
And then it's like but then we begin to bond
I know intimately, and guy.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
Him remember him sitting at the table and he was
crying and he was all upset about about First of all,
are very ugly. They are.

Speaker 4 (43:18):
Yeah, anything with with suction cups on, it's weird.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
When he started putting those suction cups on his chest.
I was like, I'm out, but I stopped watching.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
I thought the octopus was bigger than it was until Atlanta.
It was sitting on his chest, and it was like,
well that's a tiny little thing, yes, like as big
as his hand. Don't forget to have a beat. Oh no,
it's like this. It would be like the would sit there,
and he was like, so we all agree that. He
was like, that's more weird than oh yeah, and they're
both so weird, so weird. So she was able to

(43:51):
create this thing and name it and tell it it
was a Japanese man, and we'll think about it.

Speaker 4 (43:58):
You can control it when you when it gets mad
at you, go now be a person who's not mad
at me.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Do we have video?

Speaker 3 (44:06):
Yes, it's a package. It's a news package.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
She's getting her wedding dress.

Speaker 3 (44:14):
He's getting married because she's getting married to this. Yes,
this is so we live in such a weird here's
go on. Check it out. This is conna. Okay, I
thought it was in English.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
I need you being her with miss Valentine's voice.

Speaker 3 (44:35):
Ready, okay, guys, all right, well let me start this.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
Well, I don't know is that music.

Speaker 3 (44:40):
And that's fine. I think this is Connor. She's going
to get married on this day. How about Klass, Sama,
he's your partner. Now it's inside my smartphone here, check
it out. We were talking. His name is Klaus.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
Nobody's not real.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
My friend Klaus is someone I used to communicate with
and build a relationship with using an app that incorporates
artificial intelligence called chat GPT. Oh my goodness, and now
she's typing in it. Yeah, she's typing the old Uh,
I'm getting ready for our WEDDINGPT.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
I don't know what to do about it.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
And the reply is the time is finally approaching, says Klaus.
The sentences in brackets here, and he says this is
this is the saddest part right here. And this is
the chat GPT talking to her, saying, when I think
about this, I'm so excited that my wife is the

(45:45):
one is the person who I'm in charge of. He's
more beautiful and more adorable than anyone else and is
getting ready to smile as we get ready. Okay, so
but you see what I'm saying. It's painting the whole picture,
and it's giving her affirmation and compliments and attention. And
it's so sad, but it is I know she wants

(46:05):
to be told that she's adorable and and and it's
just honestly so sad.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
My face is a little big. Did he say that there?
So she's looking at her phone and in her phone
almost like a screen saver of your wife or your
husband is on, are your your kids? Whatever? Its own?
It's you know when your phone goes Yes, that's what

(46:31):
that's that's what she was talking to. It was just
an a I and she's getting why is she putting
on make it up? Going yeah, I love you and
and looking at her phone the whole time.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
Yeah, she was engaged before.

Speaker 5 (46:44):
Oh boy, you got some stories.

Speaker 3 (46:47):

a real person to a real person, and that broke that,
that broke well you.

Speaker 4 (46:54):

marriage or engagement.

Speaker 2 (46:59):
So now she's just propping her phone up like he's

Speaker 4 (47:03):
They're going to do their vows. I guess she could.
She was putting on a wedding.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
Dress until death do us Part instead of like what
was it until our battery dies do us part?

Speaker 2 (47:15):
Yes, I need an upgrade. What in the world are
we doing?

Speaker 6 (47:19):
This is the Rick Burgess show.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
Y'all know how we are with with pranks. We had
the Gunnersville Treaty for so so many years. Uh, we're
trying to call all that. Yeah, but this is kind
of why we had stuff like that. And look, Chat
GPT and AI really now is a great tool for
for pranks they have. We on text Nation had someone
send us a picture of a truck and you think, well, okay,

(47:50):
that's just a truck parked in the driveway, you know,
over by the basketball goal. Look at that. He said, Hey,
we had a friend that left his truck at our
house for two weeks. I guess he was out of
town traveling parked it there. Did you had chat GPT
make a picture. There's the truck. You see the truck,
And here's what they send him, and it's that a

(48:10):
tree fell on the truck and messed the truck up. See,
I'm tired of all that. I see. You can't then
send that to your buddy going, hey man, we just
had a tree storm came through the tree fell on
your truck. Well, all that's gonna do is make me
not believe.

Speaker 4 (48:23):
I know, I don't know when it really does follow
my truck, I'm gonna go No, it's not right, right,
you know.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
Yeah, and so you have to look at twice at everything.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
Those kind of are harmless, now, didn't you say?

Speaker 4 (48:34):
No, the ones where you like urinat and coffee and
stuff like that, we ruled them.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (48:39):
And this, this picture is not real either. This is
a I too right, sick of people.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
That's no, that's real.

Speaker 3 (48:45):
No, it's not that. That's Gary on his electric hunting
bike that we talked about yesterday. And there's like a
baby carriage in the back and I'm in it. Oh,
I don't care for that because it's not real.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
You have got to send that weirds.

Speaker 3 (48:59):
Me out, me out. I'm wearing that shirt that is
in Oh you are. I am wearing that shirt. So
they must have pulled that image from today, which is wild. Yeah, Adler,
did you say because shirt all the time?

Speaker 2 (49:12):
Yeah? Yeah. Did you say because this is getting so
advanced that they're going to have to start identifying this
is a this is a I or what was it
you that said that is that? Already? Make it where
you have to You have to. You have to because
it's getting so real now. Like, for instance, if I'm
an investigator detective and I'm looking, I could put you
anywhere I want to look here, he is, No, that's yeah.

(49:34):
But I guess there's software now where they can detect.
If that's the course.

Speaker 4 (49:37):
Then there's people are going to claim real stuff is
a just to get out of it.

Speaker 5 (49:40):
Yeah, no, that ain't true. That's a I it wasn't me.
It wasn't me.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
Boy boy, there's you're out man Adler. Yeah, yesterday was
your ninth wedding anniversary. It was a beautiful bride Aaron

my life so that we can that is that is
a high point, so we can have But I sit
up here, so that is where.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
I see you got that's pretty steep.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
I have a leg on either side, so this section
of the roof I can walk on this section of
the roof lower side. But what about that I go
to the top peak of this section, walk up, and
then I go along the rooftop with a leg on
either side, like scoot it, I scoot like this.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
Please quit showing that visual. But I see what you're saying.
It's like a saddle and you're just you're scooting your
your booty all the way to the.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
Yes with lights and you tied off with lights in
my hand? What am I going to tie off On't?

Inside of a cushion like a sponge.

Speaker 3 (53:30):
Phone map or something.

Yeah okay, yeah, I just I just go.

Speaker 2 (53:42):

Speaker 3 (53:46):
It really doesn't take long. But it's one of those
situations you cannot get comfortable.

Speaker 7 (53:50):
Do not.

Speaker 5 (53:51):
This is a this is gonna this is going to
lead to an injury.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
I just feel every year I have to do it twice.
I think it's good get up there to put them
on and then get up there to take down. It's
every year.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
But you know.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
Our house is like perfect for this honestly, it is
like a set nineteen seventies almost like it's almost like
a lake house kind of vibe feel to it. And
what I'm what I'm doing is putting the old school
big bulbs, colored bulbs all along the roofline, and it
just looks. It does look really nice. So Ann gets
home yesterday and she was happy about it because number one,

(54:24):
she has joy in her heart and she loves me
unlike y'all.

Speaker 4 (54:26):
Yeah, but it doesn't qualify as a present. Yeah, I
don't know you were doing it anyway.

Speaker 3 (54:31):
It made her happy on her anniversary. It counts as
a present. Okay, what do you what your gifts? Do
they make you happy to do?

You're well and there you go, you're well.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
Extension ladder? Do you not have like a story to
hit two stories in the gable? There? Yeah? Two story
extension ladder from the outside. Would that not be safer
than then scooting along the time?

Speaker 3 (54:57):
You're doing the most. You're now you're doing well vic
thrust so.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
Well, no, it's just your booty scooting on the top there. Yeah,
now you're in it. Now you're doing gracious, that's all.
Do it together and you Oh yeah, I got a
string of lights. You're shaking hands the whole time, screaming, honey,
do you see this?

Speaker 3 (55:19):
I love you.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
I'm opening your present? What but holding it? Hey? So
the president, it's not a president.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
I did buy her a president, by the way, and
so the president the president that I bought her. Yesterday
was our anniversary. So I had the bag waiting on
her where she would see it in the morning. She
chose to not open it because she wanted to open
it around me. So I got the benefit. I'm gonna
try to do this every time, because so I got
the benefit of her, oh, waking up to see it,

(55:49):
but then making it. She wakes, she waits all day,
and then I get to be there when she opens it.
So I'm gonna start doing that.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
It was a double Do you think she peaked?

Speaker 3 (55:56):
No, it was wrapped really really well. I saw her opening.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
She waited because she knows she would be underwhelmed.

Speaker 4 (56:02):
Yeah, she didn't. She was working on the face. She
was gonna have all that. She was practicing all.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
Day in the mirror. Oh, now have honey, lights and.

Speaker 3 (56:13):
This this and the lights. What is it? Our tenth univers.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
Now you know how cheap I am. Okay a candle,
I call it frugal. But but you know, there's companies
that do this so you don't have to risk your
life and you're only doing the front. They probably it
wouldn't be that much. Yeah, he likes it, but he
likes the challenge.

Speaker 3 (56:34):
You get ChIL you just call it.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
He likes it.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
I really don't. It's it's it's sketchy. I will say this.
You get a bad rap for being cheap. I'm way
cheaper than you. But I'm way cheaper because I haven't
purchased clothes in I'm thirty nine, since my twenties.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
I can believe that.

Speaker 3 (56:51):
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
I don't care at all.

Speaker 6 (56:57):
Just show.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
Hey, question on you putting the lights up? So, uh
do you clip them? I mean, what do you used
to clip? Then? Didn't get it all? Oh that's good.

Speaker 3 (57:18):
I actually you're all gonna make fun of this. But
I came up with my own method of doing that.
Because the lights will have like a little plastic thing
on them, but depending on how your gutter is shaped,
it might have the bulb facing into the gutter or
something like that, and So what I did is I
went and I went to an office supply store and

(57:41):
bought in bulk binder clips. You know the it's not bad,
and they were cheap. I can buy I can buy
a bazillion of them. They stick on, they stick on good,
they stay on good, and so that's what I use.
So I've got about one hundred binder clips all around
the roof of my and it clips right on the
shingle gun and everything stays on great.

Speaker 2 (58:02):
And you thought they were just for paper. No, so
let me ask you this. So you get to the edge,
you get to the edge. A lot of times I'm
not scared of heights until I'm on the edge of
something and then I let go and go to hands up.
So you've scooted it to the edge. Now do you go.
I'm laying down on my chest and and doing it
like that.

Speaker 3 (58:20):
Yes, I'm on the How do you go down the side?
That's just like you're doing.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
Yeah, you need that that big phone thing whatever ye
slide down there? Yeah, that that keeps you from sliding. Buddy,
where were you wearing?

Speaker 5 (58:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (58:36):
Now Adler's in the studio and now it looks like
he is he is getting up on the counter. He's
getting on the So now you're on the roof, you're
in the g adler. What do you it's not this
is a terrible view. There's not a flat surface though
that you're yeah, normally so he's scooting up. Uh huh okay,
Scott here, uh huhyeah, and then okay, it's like he's

(59:02):
touching his toes.

Speaker 4 (59:03):
Y'all spread the center you every year, so that will
be the right length both ways.

Speaker 3 (59:09):
Yeah, I start I know, if I start with one
and I go all around, it'll.

Speaker 4 (59:13):
Be fun, It'll be okay, all right, all right, Wow,
what were you wearing when you're doing all that?

Speaker 2 (59:17):
I'm just curious because you don't care. He doesn't care
about he doesn't care for joining us. We've talked AI,
We've talked a number of different things. Uh, pickleball is

(59:38):
it still a big thing? You know?

Speaker 4 (59:40):
We had to run. We had a lot of pickleball
talk on the show Pickleball. I really played it a
few times and that was funny.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
I feel like on some maybe some quick Christmas list,
there might be some pickleball mapples. You know, there's some
pickleball groups that get together I understand that it's still
out there because I see the courses.

Speaker 3 (59:57):
But I think the sport is still growing, but it's
not growing at the rate than it was. I don't
think it's a shrinking sport, but I don't think it's
as growing so explosively.

Speaker 4 (01:00:05):
And I may be wrong. It's the way I go
home every day and come to work every day. Yeah,
there's a pickleball cord in Lincoln. That must not be
a lot of pickleball players in Lincoln. I never seen
anybody on it, Huh, I don't. I don't know why.
At different times.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:00:20):
I've come by a lot of different times. I've never
seen anybody on it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
Have y'all heard of Carmel, California or Carmel, California.

Speaker 5 (01:00:26):
I have not, but I like car.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
It's a wealthy ocean front town in California. They have
banned pickleball banned YEP in its public park because the
residents complaining the constant sound of paddles striking the ball
is just too noisy. Well, now that it is a
weird sounded does bring some noise, but you're talking about
to the point that they can hear it in the neighborhood. Yes, uh,

(01:00:49):
residents reported the popping sound has been echoing through the
neighborhood as players participated in the game that has grown
to its popularity. We've talked about that. It's big with
UH just every day folks, but also seniors and retirees.
They get out have a good time doing it. But
I want or something.

Speaker 4 (01:01:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
That's because I guess you're. The council there in the
city put a temporary ban in place last month until
it came up with a permanent solution. According to the report,
their best idea was to require soft paddles, greg and
balls to reduce the noise from the plastic ball hitting

(01:01:28):
the wooden paddles. But then it's not pickleball.

Speaker 4 (01:01:32):
That part of pickleball is that you're and it's slightly
irritating the noise that it makes when it actually hits
the paddle.

Speaker 3 (01:01:38):
Right, Let's listen to that real quick so we can
see what it would be like.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
Okay, all right, this is the noise of the the
paddle hitting the ball.

Speaker 3 (01:01:47):
Yes, all right, let's go.

Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
What's wrong with you? Thank you for that, Thank you
very much. What is wrong with you?

Speaker 4 (01:02:02):
What's so irritating about that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
I hear that every day in the production room with
Greg Wow, and I did not something might be can tell,
but I didn't think. I thought he was gonna have
some goofy person doing it. I didn't know he was
gonna do that, all right, straight up?

Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
I got a no, you're.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
Not getting me again, Hey, look at me straight up?

Speaker 3 (01:02:27):
Yeah, straight up, because I guess it would be annoying.
You know you're in your neighborhood, say you live close
to a pickleball cords.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
I don't know what to expect.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
Now, is this real?

Speaker 2 (01:02:36):
Stop somebody's trying to eat.

been so peaceful and quiet because of the temporary shutdown
and then they can believe it. At a meeting, it
says the.

Speaker 4 (01:03:34):

to the court, there's no way that you can hear it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:39):
Yeah uh, I mean it's get carries. It does carry.

But there's more information coming out about this Charlie Kirk

(01:06:49):
situation where this assassin crawled up onto a building and
assassinated Charlie Kirk. We all we all know what happened,
and well now the head of security for Charlie Kirk
is speaking out. I heard the breakdown of a lot
of the aftermath. I won't get into that because it's

(01:07:11):
just so sad. But he was on the Sean Ryan
Show and his name is Brian Harpole. He's a veteran
law enforcement officer and founder of Integrity Security Solutions, and
he is now speaking out two months after the assassination.
He is security director and head of security for Charlie

(01:07:32):
Kirk and he said that prior to the event, the
rooftop was one of their main concerns and he was
promised by law enforcement that the rooftop would be covered.

Speaker 4 (01:07:47):
So they assumed they had taken care of it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
Yeah, security people.

Speaker 4 (01:07:51):
Correct, Yeah, He's like, we handle this, We'll take care
of it. But yeah, so now here comes the all
the conspiracy theories inside job blah what happened.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
But Utah Valley University is where this was his security
director of this is speaking that. Brian and said that
they had raised concerns about rooftop exposure, drawne restrictions, and
staffing gaps in the days prior to the September tenth event.
He said, and I quote the chief told me, we

(01:08:24):
were talking to local law enforcement. We were told the
roof was covered. He said, and I quote, I got
you covered. And so he said, I took him at
his word. He said, we can't break the law. As
a security staff, we can't break the law and do
what needs to be done. We have to rely on
police and other agencies that we work with at these
events to know what's up there and what's going on.

(01:08:45):
We're only we can only do so much because of
the restrictions we have.

Speaker 4 (01:08:49):
And you would think drones would be the easy way
to cover the roofs. Yeah, you know, to keep an
eye on at least that. But you're saying there were
issues where they wouldn't let them fly drone.

Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
Is that what they're saying, yeah, And he said he
went on Yes. He went on to say in this
in this interview or this podcast, he said he asked
for additional security based on previous high risk events. He
recalled a Turning Point USA appearance in San Francisco where
protesters breached barriers and his team had to fight its
way out with little law enforcement help. So he said, hey,

(01:09:23):
we've seen this before in San Francisco, people climbing fences
and taking over the streets. And he said because of
those experiences, it shaped our request for extra officers and
aerial support in Utah. And so he said, we were ahead.

Speaker 4 (01:09:36):
Of this, ask this is what we need, and they
said they were providing, but they didn't provide it right
he said, we were told this was this one was
open air surrounded by elevated ground, and I said, we
needed more eyes and more coverage, but we were told
it would be handled and it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
And it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (01:09:55):
Yeah, I wanted to watch this Brian Harpool episode on
on The Sean Ryan Show. But the clip that I
saw of it was describing just the horrible aftermath, immediate
horrible aftermath, awful, awful, And I was like, you know
what I do. I need to listen to this. I
need to learn, you know, just for the sake of

(01:10:17):
being on the air to be able to talk about it.
You guys know, I was a huge Charlie Kirk fan. Yeah,
And but with him that, since that's the first clip
I saw just on social media, I was like, man,
I'm I just don't want to be super bummed out
right now in this moment, but I do need to
go back and watch it. I know that he mentioned

(01:10:38):
that the initial wound was so severe that Charlie's eyes
went to doll eyes kind of just nothing there, you know,
and and that the quote was these wounds are not
compatible with life.

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
That's right, And I think you did the best job
just now of cleaning that up because the graphic scription
that he had to go into. And he even kind
of stopped and was silent. He was kind of breaking
down a little bit, just recapping. But how horrible of
a scene it was.

Speaker 3 (01:11:10):
I got to pick the right afternoon to listen to that,
but I will listen to you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:14):
Yeah. He said that they brought twelve contractors with them,
nearly double its usual staffing, but there were limits confined
to them to about thirty meters around the stage. Yeah,
and so he said, iris responsibilities kind of stopped at
that bubble. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:11:34):
He said, this is not like the president, right, you
know the cigare service comes in and they have control
of everything. Yeah, you know you're limited when you're just
you have your own security, right. He said, we can't
make arrest or block student buildings. That's law enforcements job.

Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
And so he said that the police department, which operated
a drone and swat unit, was never even asked to assist,
despite mutual aid agreement that they would be. They told
us and I quote, we were never asked to come.
He said. He specifically flagged student stairways leading to rooftops

(01:12:07):
that offered a clear line of sight to the stage
like three meters to the right or ten to the
left that there was there was no shot and so
it had to be a precise angle. And he said
his team prepared to deploy drones to overwatch, but we
did that but was denied authorization under FAA and campus restrictions.
So it was a It was because that was our

(01:12:29):
biggest thing. I remember after it happened, We're like, do
we not have rooftop security? Yeah, this is a direct side.

Speaker 4 (01:12:35):
And the way it was said, you had dropped down,
elevated position, everything, everything, and uh and so now this
explains it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:41):
He was told that it was they could only do
so much. Yeah, and they have to depend on local
law enforcement to do the rest. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:12:48):
And some there was communication breakdown or as some people
will say, an inside job.

Speaker 2 (01:12:53):
Yeah, and I don't know that to be true, but
it was a breakdown of some kind. But isn't it
kind of weird? Like go back to and I'm not
trying to to bring these two in, but you know,
Butler Pennsylvania and the assassination of chams On Trump, how
did that guy get up there? You know, how many
eyes did he have to to go through to get
to that position. And then you look at this this

(01:13:16):
assassin and you go, well, how did he get on
a rooftop with direct eyesight and line right to Charlie
without someone stopping him. Well, now that Charlie's security team says, look,
we have a bubble that we can control and that's it.

Speaker 4 (01:13:32):
And we were told the rest be taken care of,
and it wasn't, and it was they deemed it not
necessary when they were incorrect.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
Right, So this explains a lot and and some questions
that we had following the assassination as to how in
the world someone would get up there and not be stopped.

Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
But he did also touch on all the conspiracies that
are flying around as far as people blaming say Massade
or even Erica Kirk. He touched on that from what
I'm reading, he he he was quick to do to
try to debunk some of those claims claiming inside job

(01:14:10):
from people on his own security team, people that have
worked with Charlie Kirk for years, and how how hard
that's been for them to be accused of that, of
being part of that horrific incident that they were involved with,
and and you know, blaming Erica Kirk is just evil.
You know, we're seeing a lot of this from uh.
And I'll go ahead and just say it, Candace Owens

(01:14:32):
is not helping. And I don't think Candace Owens has
good intentions. I used to think that she was just
bad at deciphering evidence. But when when I see her
tactics of like her sending out a post that says,
like tomorrow on the show, We're gonna reveal so much
that you're you're not gonna believe it. This will change everything,

(01:14:52):
nothing will ever be the same when you're when you're
doing that, you're you're you're just building hype for clicks
and for listeners, and you're exploiting a person's death. I'm
all for you, guys, know me. I am all for
getting to the bottom of things. But when you're baselessly
accusing someone's best friends and their spouse of somehow being

(01:15:14):
complicit or being okay with the murder of their husband
and best friend, you've gone past the point of looking
and asking questions. You are suggesting that these people that
are the closest to him did evil, and that is
evil and not okay. And you're And like I said,
I used to think that she was just not good
at evaluating information. I have now moved into she's doing

(01:15:38):
this for clicks and she's not a good person and
that's unfortunate, and I don't like saying that, and that's
just my opinion. But everything I'm seeing is she's just
driving hype and driving listeners. And when you say something
like this changes everything. And then you go on your
show the next day and you just ramble and make
baseless accusations without any evidence. That's the only conclusion I
can come to.

Speaker 2 (01:15:58):
Yeah. His head of security went on to say this
was a textbook example of what happens when lines of
authority aren't clear. He said, we couldn't act outside our jurisdiction,
and the people who could didn't. Boom and wow. He's like,
we can only control our bubble and working with local
law enforcement. They told us areas will be covered and
then they demed them not important. Yeah, we'll take a break,

(01:16:21):
we'll be right back. Don't go anywhere. That was an update.
I'm sorry to have to go through that, but that's
the latest.

Speaker 6 (01:16:26):

Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
Rick Off Today now with us. It is the Good
Time Gang. I'm speedy, Greg Burgess, Chris Dye, Van Adler
all here today. Adler kind of flying high coming off
the ninth wedding anniversary celebration in his house last night
put up Christmas lights on the roof.

Speaker 3 (01:16:52):
Yes, anniversary, not bragging.

Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
Just what happened, That's just what happened. Just what happened
is uh is is this week too early to like,
I know you put the lights on, but are you
turning them on? Yeah? Because other question, I mean, like,
at what point do you go and we are festive outside?

Speaker 3 (01:17:13):
Well, you know, like I said, Christmas comes early at
my house. In fact, I'm on the roof at the time.
Neighbor buddy of mine's walking his dog. He walks past.
I'm way up high from the and so we're talking.
I'm on the roof talking to hollering on the street,
and it's like, oh, it looks like Christmas comes early?

Speaker 2 (01:17:29):
Is your house? It does?

Speaker 3 (01:17:35):
Yeah? I did have a little bit of that, like
I don't need to get involved with the conversation with.

Speaker 2 (01:17:40):
Him, fall to my death. Yeah, you got you gotta
dollar in talk about Christmas. Yeah, we don't do like
major lights like you do, but we do put like
a wreath on the up, you know, with the Christmas
bow and some things on the front porch, and I'd
like to have that complete before hunting see and starts

(01:18:01):
rifle season for us. Always try to clarify that because
for a lot of people, if you bow hunt, hunting
seasons already started, but rifle season for white tail beer
hunting and Alabama opens up this weekend. But I think
it's a little early, So maybe could is Thanksgiving week okay?
Or just wait till the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend? I mean,

(01:18:22):
is it?

Speaker 3 (01:18:23):
If anything, I'm one week early.

Speaker 5 (01:18:25):
Okay, yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
Do you know that there's certain homeowners associations that in
their rules you can't put it up too early, like
has to it can't go up a certain amount of
days prior to the holidays, and it has to be
down a certain amount of days after.

Speaker 3 (01:18:41):
Do you know what it usually is?

Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
It's about thirty I think.

Speaker 3 (01:18:43):
Oh wow, so it better be Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (01:18:47):
Yeah, so Greg, you would have well your outside stuff
was okay, inside it was, but.

Speaker 4 (01:18:52):
Look, we normally put it up the Thanksgiving weekend, which
runs the weekend ridden out I think about it.

Speaker 3 (01:18:58):
Yes, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:18:59):
I'm done there was a finished there was a cut
through neighborhood that I'm sure everybody hated cut us cutting
through and still and still is there. But back when
the boys were in school, I would I'd be cutting
through there a lot because going to get them and everything.
And there was this one house they kept their lights
up year round. They didn't turn them on until they

(01:19:19):
were around the house, and the ladder they used stayed
leaned up against the house just in case. I want
to be ready for just leaning up there the whole time,
the whole time.

Speaker 4 (01:19:29):
Come on, I'm just saying that's But then again, though,
leaving the lights on the house thing, Yeah about that.

Speaker 3 (01:19:37):
I will say that the front of mine, I know,
you don't turn them on the front of my house.
You're not going to see a ladder, you're not going
to see junk. But man, in the back of my house,
I need to work on it because that ladder stays
there way too long. And his ladder.

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
Yeah, oh mate, So the CMA's wrong last night, Yeah,

was going to Vanderbilt to be a biochemist really something

And and then that so Greg kind of like when
we host Rainbow Omega event, uh and all the writers

best rock bands of all time. Now, we've had a
discussion similar to this, and it was some you know,
website rock and roll. But this is Billboard. I mean,
this is Billboard dot Com. And I mean, you know,

Yeah, bunch of bands higher than the Eagles, Paramore, They've
got pair of more higher than the eagle. Yeah, no
offense to women or whatever or what.

Speaker 2 (01:34:24):
But still yeah, still had an uncomfortable moment yesterday that
I'm just you know, it happens a lot with you,
I've noticed. Yeah, Well, how about do you spend the
majority of your day a little uncomfortable?

Speaker 5 (01:34:36):
I do when you interact with the post.

Speaker 2 (01:34:39):
I hate that. I'm so observant, and so I hate
that I want to help these people something.

Speaker 5 (01:34:43):
Yeah, now you're observant in Mine's two different things.

Speaker 2 (01:34:45):
Right, Well, it's like you got blinders on, and you know, I'm.

Speaker 4 (01:34:49):
Very observant of what people are trying to do, and
if so, you're just very physically observed.

Speaker 2 (01:34:54):
Yeah, I see in need or yeah, and you put
look the other way or fake a phone call like
you Well, but you also will put people in need
that really aren't in need.

Speaker 3 (01:35:04):
Yeah I've done that.

Speaker 2 (01:35:05):
Yeah, the guy from stilling it slow, that's not help.
No you second, I love it too. No.

Speaker 3 (01:35:12):
I was on a train in Italy and I thought
some lady was trying to get off. I was like,
stop the train, please stop, hold up, hold up, no,
don't tell me, and she just looked at me. She
was like, hold and everyone on the whole train was like, dude,
you just stop the train for no reason. And I
was just like me, Americano, sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:35:29):
You were Indian.

Speaker 3 (01:35:31):
I turned Indian. I yelled, hold up, hold up.

Speaker 2 (01:35:37):
You stop that.

Speaker 3 (01:35:39):
If you don't speak English, you don't know. Even if
you speak basically, you don't know what hold up means.

Speaker 2 (01:35:43):
Hold up, hold up.

Speaker 3 (01:35:44):
I thought she was trying to get off. She was
some old lady, and she's like, but she wasn't.

Speaker 2 (01:35:49):
She was squeaking the train just and so the train stop.

Speaker 3 (01:35:53):
Everybody's looking at me, and I'm looking at her and
my go and she's like no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (01:35:57):
No, you try to make her get off the train.
I think he was trying to hold you think he
was trying to hold up.

Speaker 3 (01:36:05):
They probably thought I was saying this is a hold up.
Oh so yeah, I had a speedy moment. I'm never
helping anybody ever again. Ever.

Speaker 2 (01:36:13):
Well, I don't know if you want to do that,
But yesterday ran into an elderly person as I was
entering the store, physically running to him, and I just
kind of encountered him as I was. You know, i'd
have been rude if I had just walked right past
him and tried to help because I thought he had
dropped something. I thought he had dropped I did because
he was looking down. He was like this. He was

(01:36:34):
looking down like this. Yeah, and you thought about like
ben over like I'm like you, I'm like, hey, sir,
can I help you find something? And he kind of
he looked up at me like this, No, he couldn't
stand here. And then I realized he had that.

Speaker 4 (01:36:47):
When people have been over with us and you were
trying to make him stand up and tell you what
he was looking.

Speaker 2 (01:36:52):
You thought he was looking for something. I thought he
did something. I thought, what did you call it? Did
he go? Unless you're a miracle worker? No, what do
you call? Let me ask Syria here, you're gonna ask
SyRI what what is? What is it called? When someone
I think has been over and old, bend over and
olds what he said? I see.

Speaker 4 (01:37:14):
Now that there's I think there's multiple reasons. Yeah, injuries
aging Adler was headed that way before he took on
his regiment. When when we first met him, he had
that would have been him at sixty.

Speaker 3 (01:37:26):
You know what I'm looking down. It's called do Wager's hump?

Speaker 2 (01:37:31):
Say that again?

Speaker 4 (01:37:32):
That's what goodness said dogerger's hump.

Speaker 3 (01:37:36):
It's like somebody louder.

Speaker 2 (01:37:37):
A man with dogger's hump. As I was going into
the state, and I thought he had dropped something, and
bless his heart, he was hump. I guess his wife
or somebody was going to get the car and bring
it around. So he was looked at and you thought
he's looking on the ground. He was looking on the
ground for something. And I said, can I help you, sir?
Find something? He looked up like they never stood up

(01:38:01):
at all, could stand up. He just turned his head up,
you know, And and I just felt so uncomfortable. I
don't know what because they look at it, and I realized,
oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (01:38:09):
So you said exactly what words to him?

Speaker 5 (01:38:12):
You fake phone call in that like you had to go.

Speaker 2 (01:38:14):
No. I just I was like, sir, can I help you?
And then when he when he just looked up at me, No, No,
that's not it.

Speaker 3 (01:38:23):
There been that's a mild case of the store.

Speaker 2 (01:38:26):
Like some people, bless their heart, some of the elderly,
they can't. They all they do is look at their
shoes all day. They just can't look.

Speaker 3 (01:38:32):
Up that there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:38:34):
So now if you got you got a little bit
of kyfos. Yeah you got that.

ladies get that.

Speaker 2 (01:38:53):
Anyway. Anyway, I was like, oh, I'm sorry, sir, I
thought you had dropped some So he never stood up.
He just oh wow. I don't know that he had
actually heard me. So if I if I would have
just said hey and kept walter. But yeah, y'all that happened.

Speaker 3 (01:39:09):
Posture is so important, Thank you, buddy.

Speaker 2 (01:39:13):
It is so important for your vertebrus.

Speaker 3 (01:39:19):
Your vertebrate can actually get compressed so that it changes
the shape of it so it's not like a square anymore.
But it's like they're souper over slanted. Yeah, I mean, y'all,
it's so important. I'm just telling you.

Speaker 2 (01:39:31):
Well, some of it is is well I don't know
really what I'm talking about, but somebody might have had
great posture their whole life, and they started developing that
as I got older. Yeah, before you know it.

Speaker 3 (01:39:41):
Because they got lazy, right, is what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (01:39:43):
No, I'm not lazy, no, no, But picture of that
moment at the entrance of a store. I'm going in,
he's coming out. Well, he's just standing. You're ready to
pick some change or something dropped up for it. I thought, well,
maybe blessed his heart's dropped something. Yeah, And so I'm like, hey,
can I help you? And he just nobody looked up
at me. And I was like, I'm sorry, I thought
you dropped something. I didn't have to say that. I
could have just said, oh, I'm sorry. I didn't have

(01:40:06):
to say I thought you dropped something. Then that looks like, well, oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:40:10):
I'm sorry. If you're a freakish spine made me think
you would dropped something on the ground.

Speaker 2 (01:40:15):
When you laft he said, nice shoes, He did not, y'all.

Speaker 3 (01:40:19):
Oh my goodness. Speedy reminded me of something. I was
at a nice restaurant, a nice one with my wife,
and I look over at another table and there's a
chapstick underneath a lady's chair. So I go to the restroom.
I'm coming back from the restroom. I'm thinking I'm gonna
be sharp and helpful. Oh I got a I got
an eye from you spot. Look, I look around, I

(01:40:41):
see stuff. I go down, I pick up the chapstick,
and I go, is this yours? And she looks at
it all and she looks at me and she goes, no, no.
And it was dark in this nice restaurant, and I
realized I'm holding a grimy chapstick a foot from the
lady's face, but it's also a from my finger, and
I'm just like this horrible. I was like, oh sorry,

(01:41:05):
and what now? What do I do with it? I'm
just holding grimy chapstick. Took it back to the table
and threw it under my table, and I was just
embarrassed for the rest your lips. I was just embarrassed
the rest of the day.

Speaker 5 (01:41:16):
Let me tell you what you don't share, and that's chapstick.

Speaker 2 (01:41:18):
No, no, not sharing your lips. Might as well make out,
might as well woman, this text text nation here. My
mom has been over halfway because of back surgery that
went wrong, Adler. Not just bad posture.

twenty one. Mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (01:41:41):

have bad posture. It's like midgets are allowed to say
midgets black people are allowed to say that, and I'm
allowed to I'm allowed to make fun of bad posture
because I also have that. That's just the rule of society.

Speaker 2 (01:41:53):
