we started, We're ready to go. Uh, they're so corporate.

(02:37):
Greg's been busy. So what what is five five eight
headed to hunts will mean? Is that the area code?
I don't you remember? The area code's gotta be fuf
What what I mean? I don't know because there can't
be five hundred and fifty eight people headed to hunt

(02:58):
pilgrimage A. So number five five A is offen.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
It is a message of significant life changes in positive transformation.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Really, Okay, I don't think that's it. Okay, surely that's
not it. But anyway, maybe they have a five to
five eight credit score or something that's good. That's not
the best.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
No, it's not.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Need to try to get that little higher. Yeah, So
that's why we're.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Talking about just driving and just commuting and moving in general.
If you are in a roundabout, if you're in the round,
you have the right away.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
If you're if you're spinning around, go, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
You don't stop in the round Yeah, yield and stop
or not the same thing. I warned, Hey, I was.
I got off an exit.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
It's not hard going up coming back from Larville, and
there were three roundabouts at that exit.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
I said, Rick would get so too black, he'd pull over.
I've even changed the route crop circles. Yeah, I've changed
the route. They're building and you and I'm not gonna
go that way anymore, buddy. It wasn't hard.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Matter of fact, we never stopped for a red light
or you know, or traffic light, and and was in
and out pretty good.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
I just had to do get you, look at the
sign and go. If y'all want to be if y'all
want to be European trash bit, I just like it
better sent at that line. Soccer next you're gonna start
talking about now that I writ now that I took
another look at soccer.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
No, if you like soccer, hey, when you're staying at
when you go to the roundabout, that's being consistent. When
you're sitting at the roundabout and there's somebody in the roundabout,
would you like for them to use a blinker if
they're getting off before they get to you.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
If it's a really big roundabout, then you could, you could,
they could give you a blinker.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
But because if not, you're just you just gotta wait. Yeah,
it's it's it's too small. If it's I I go
through a small roundabout.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
So you're the roundabout police. I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Well, I just stop. This dude was in the roundabouts.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's not American.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
He stopped for me.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
No, you don't do that.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
I'm like, no, you are in it. You go.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
And then I'm behind him in the roundabout and he
stopped for another person and I'm like, you're rounding the
bout to you.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Two things. The five to five eight is the local
five five eight electricians, Oh oh yeah, may be raised
as much. And then the other thing I want to
say to you, Adler, and y'all are learning this. The
culture that we live in, people can't even merge. You
think they can do a roundabout? Yeah? Yeah, roundabouts all

(05:25):
about merging. It's just one constant merge. I will say this,
I may have stepped out the roundabouts that I encounter.
There's a couple and they're not very crowded, so it
is easy. If it was one and a very busy
it might be more of a had go off to
another country where nobody tolerates people who don't understand a
round about and it gets scary. You know it's coming

(05:47):
at you quick. I'm turning here.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
You you're so efficient with your time, and I don't
like to waste time, So you'd rather sit at a
traffic light for two and a half.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Night a traffic light. Some of these could just be
four way stops, ash Adler, Hide's going.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Well, I'm just saying it seems like somebody that nobody
just got to get that same.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Efficient stop backs up traffic to him? Did it seem
efficient to you?

Speaker 4 (06:10):
If nobody's around, it's great, right, But when other people
are trying.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
When other people are trying, it gets a little rough
in there, doesn't it. I mean, yeah, if nobody is there,
I'd like to stay in it and go two laps. Yeah,
like I'm racing. It was it was it European vacation.
With Chevy chasing them. He couldn't get out of.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
That.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
He's pretty sure. I'm pretty sure roundabouts are in the revelation, buddy.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
They're definitely communists at least, no question.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, for sure. Stop. I think I was here first,
know you are. Yeah, I'm gonna go, know you go?
So so forbid we arrived at the same time, and
the yield of the right. Yeah, we all know that.
I just wait, come on, let's go. I can't stand
then we both wait, No, you go, you go. I
don't experience. I'm aggressive driver. I guess who goes through

(07:01):
the four way stop first? That'd be me.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Rude are the same word.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah, I looked up. As soon as I say every
by stopped, I'm gone. Well, then the roundabout shouldn't be
a bother to you. It's all happening. It's a different deal.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
It's actually easier probably to be rude and a roundabout. Yeah,
that a four way, so it's great for you.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Rick nobody's trying to be rude aggressive.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
By the way, when it comes to driving, they're close.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
And it was right after a man church event, which
is terrible timing. I was almost put out of the
car when Sherry was trying to And it was so
sweet that she was trying to drive me home because
and he was a little late and all that. And
she said, but I said, I can't go to sleep
knowing you're going to go this slow, and and she
she was I said, what what do we? What do we?

(07:47):
And she goes, what do you? What are you trying
to leaning around? I'm trying to see the speed. It
feels like we're going real slow.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
Let's go and cruise control please, I mean locking that cruise.
I mean because the the variation of speed is killing me.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Trump we're touching in breaks a lot. Why are we
touching brakes? Lisa refuses to use the craze control.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Oh, that's horrible, refuses to I love a good cruise.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Doesn't like it. Oh, no, I love it. I just
hit the little thing. I want my ankle to cramp,
sitting there holding.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
It for.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Fasters low and never kill me.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, it so crashed the car.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
I'd rather just so.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Sherry finally asked me this question. Of course you three
know the answer. She and she should know it. She's
been married to me for almost thirty years. And she said, so,
I just want to try to get this and I said, okay.
She said, here, I am trying to drive, so you
can rest. You can't rest because you'd rather be driving
because you think you driving can get us home quicker

(08:58):
than me. I said, then bingo, mm hmm. She goes,
that's weird. She GOESID you just not get over there,
maybe try to go to sleep or something. Now we
don't worry about it. And I was like, well, I
have to worry about it because the trip feels like
it's not We're not making the time we could have made.
I think I can get myself home quicker, meaning I
get in bed sooner if I would just drop. It

(09:18):
goes back to that thing you can't sleep in the
car on a plane. But she I understood what she
was saying. But my answer was yes, right, you understand
my point too. It's all numbers. If I get home
quicker and I'm in the bed sooner, that that's the same, right, Rick.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Okay, that's just that's just science.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
This is math. That's math. Yeah, that is. We'll be
back stance. So much more to do today, folks. Hang
in there.

Speaker 7 (09:48):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Back down, speedy. I had a couple of text Nation questions.
I'd like to hit down a little more right there.
Uh so again, just to follow up these updates on
America trying to embrace roundabouts. Birds. These are the stupidest
things I've ever heard of. We're trying in Athens, Alabama.
We already have close to three, maybe four now, and

(10:17):
only one seems to be operating. And back to my point,
to my point, most people in our culture, they're just
too stupid to use them. They stop when they don't
have to, they go when they're not supposed to. It's
a disaster. Rick, You are correct, it's not. We're not
the people for roundabouts. Next from Text Nation, Greg, I'm

(10:39):
with your wife Lisa on no cruise control. I'm a teacher.
I think we just have to be in control. So
so there you go.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Tea too.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Here's another one. Two teachers that can't. At least it's
not a teacher, but your daughter is You think that
you're you're bad? Think about me, birga, since I, uh,
since my deployments, I can't stand anyone else driving. I
once drove from liz Mississippi, all the way to Bowling Green, Kentucky,
with no brakes other than gas because I couldn't send

(11:11):
anyone else driving. Uh So, so he says he's got
a military background. He says, there is a certain sense
if you're a person that says you're you know, because
let's face it, if we if we right now had
to go on a mission, you know, I would I
get out there at point man, and I would say, guys,
here we go, let's move. And if you if you're
that kind of person and you were just made that way,

(11:33):
it's hard to sit over there and go, man, we
could be doing we could be getting this could be better,
we could be moving quicker. Let's go. So you you
just can't relax over there.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Speaking of driving, Mike Michael Creech, if you missed yesterday's show,
he already heard an update.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
I do have one.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
He was in the vox seats. He drove what about
five hours?

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Did he say? Is that what he said? Yeah? Thereabouts? Uh,
he got here from South Carolina. Yeah, got here early.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
But then got in the wreck within a mile from
the station. And uh, Terry even said, we were going
on a walk last night. She said, I laughed really
hard when he spun the wheel and landed on by.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
I didn't believe kick a man. Well and uh, and
I was hanging out yesterday reviewing same thing with with
with how we do with the wives. Sometimes the show
and sometimes we'll get we'll actually get into it. Yeah.
And I started telling Sherry that we broke down when
he thought he could start having something. And she got
to laughing. And we said this when he got through
Atlanta with no traffic and right then when he started

(12:36):
thinking he could have something, sure, I mean not you
first mistake. Well, he's emailed us this morning. Okay.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
Good.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
I actually email him yesterday. I said, man, did you
get home? Yeah? He said, hey, I made it home safely.
Only hang up.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
It took about thirty minutes to get through the Auctord,
Alabama area because of a lane closure.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
But other than that, I made it home. Okay.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
So so he he did make it home. Poor God
bless him. Blessed soied got here early. But another example
be careful out there of thinking you can have something.
God would guys, when we tried to give him a
gift and let him spend the wheel and it landed
on buying speedy lunch, and.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
That false hope that it wasn't his fault. I know, yeah,
I know, I'd love him. Yeah, and thank you Greg
for making sure he didn't have that whole greed.

Speaker 8 (13:20):
Long.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Well, I'm just saying the same thing happened to me,
and I was in his position, and I wasn't deemed
it was my fault. They say, well, just because my
waves you through, doesn't it give you the right. How
about the person that waved you through.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
I mean when they left, they went because they just
pulled on out and just kept.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
The whole thing go ahead. I am.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
I am hesitant to help because I know that you
think I would. I would jump in there and do that.
But because of that right there, I don't want to
be held.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Rick, my gracious you.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
If somebody's two blocked looking for sweet two hundreds, you
jump in. Yesterday you helped somebody it's post office. Well again,
I'm trying to give gracious. I bet you waving people through.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Something's happened on. Come on, I don't know whether this
is what I just talked about like it belongs in
my personality or I'm starting We're all becoming a hybrid
of each other. I'm starting to develop some speedy things
and it feels good, doesn't it to help people? You
know what it does? Yeah? It does, Greg will let
you know about it. Yeah, you know what I mean.

(14:21):
I saw somebody at the post office yesterday because I
did have to go get my mail that I that
I held while I was on vacation or no communication
with the post office about that. I just had to
kind of guess on that one. But but the there
was a person who was, you know, trying to get
their passport updated, and God loved them walked off and
left the passport just laying out there and open for everybody,

(14:44):
and was about to leave it. And I ain't getness
you were in. I would have said something, I think
I would have. Would you, Yeah, I would have you
you would get involved in that. Yeah, that's not very
in depth. Hey, ma'am leading me passport? What about that?
What about the fact that they were from an of
the land and there was there was a language break.
Now that would cause me to Paul's right, But I
think I still go through it. What about that confusing

(15:06):
moment that would have killed Speedy when she wasn't sure
what I was telling her, I know, and she wondered
why the bearded American was engaging. Well, now you're making
it now where I wouldn't have. If there is some
things to overcome, maybe she'll remember it and come back. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
If I normally, if there's a language barrier, you know,
you just kind of have to just play simple, you know,
you leave passport like that, and they're not simple.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
So Tanto left his past, Yes, yes, I mean instead
of going, hey, mam, you left this what do you
say you passport? When I said India? They were from India,
not Indians tribal lands. Speedy with throwing a story where
he almost left his one time too. How you leave you?
Of course I almost did that one time when I
went on the track that goes done. You haven't you possible?

(15:56):
What about the fact that I knew that they did.
I'm not sure they knew English, and I didn't know
what my first opening line should be, and I did this, hey, hello, hey, hello,
right now leaving the passport Chinese? She was little the Indians?
What was that? What I got? I got to get
to I gotta any different than what you just did.

(16:19):
I know you went. It was reckless. It was reckless.
I got to get up here with the Indian your letter.
Somebody helped me with the Indian accent.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
It's like a gas station.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Got up here like that straight here. No, it's it's
your leader from the pool. No, that's someone underwater.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
That's wonder.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
That passport that's closer one to Then then that made
the woman next to me confused because she was a
fan of the show and she had not engaged me yet.
And she and then she thought. She looked at me
and said, I didn't know you were Indian. And I
was like, doctor took it to them, and uh so
that is going on? What if you were? That was

(17:00):
your voice and you faked on the radio every day,
but you really.

Speaker 9 (17:03):
Talk, you know, you don't have that speech there caught
you got you. Rick tried to pull on all right.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
So a poo from the Simpsons, thank you come again.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
That's thank you come again? How that one he's he's
gonna say that again.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Thank you come again?

Call me girl, thank you.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
That sounds like he's in pain. Thank you mad d
white Man for help? Is that pretty good? Yes, thank
you for helping. I wonder where she would have realized
she had left it if you had this. Now, let
me tell you that I got involved because losing your
passports huge huge. There was a side of me thought, well,
she's getting it updated? Is that one outdated? Does it matter?
But I thought about people still in their identity.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
And if you've been ordered mine for Hall of Famer, right,
why why is she underwater?

Speaker 1 (17:51):
I don't understand that part.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
I built out like a couch that folds down into
a bed. And then I've got a cabinet. It's I
call it a galley because you know how like in
a boat down to the galley and have some mush
or something whatever they would say on a boat mush.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
I don't think mush gruel do they? What do they
eat on a boat?

Speaker 7 (22:03):
Pirate?

Speaker 4 (22:05):
So I have this cabinet basically, but it has a
sink in it, some water tanks below. It has the
battery in there, and it has a refrigerator like a
mini fridge, and in that you know, like it's got
a freezer up top and a little tiny I mean
you can put two little ice cream.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Bars up there for the kids.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Small college refrigerator. Yeah, basically, gotcha.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
And hey, having cold juice boxes for the kids is
number one. Having cold little pouches, some bruise for the
road whatever, No, no, no, no, not for the road.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Sparkling waters. Actually, I keep it stopped.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yeah, yeah, it's dangerous. There's more dangerous.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
It is for summer. It's like a luxury eye. And
sparkling water on the road is okay, all right, sorry.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Peach is good.

Speaker 4 (23:04):
While we're talking about so strawberry. So usually I plug
that battery in at night because that battery that runs
the fridge, it can keep Oh and for groceries, guys,
if you don't have a refrigerator in your car, I
can go to Costco. Right, if you don't, you're missing out.
I can go to Costco. I can get my ground beef.

(23:25):
I can get an inappropriate amount of chicken thighs. Stuff
that in the fridge, and then go get my kids.
And then you know, take thirty minutes in traffic getting home,
not worrying about poisoning my family and losing Yes, they
are misshapen. Yeah, if they do melt, you gotta watch.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
That explain this.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
You've got your car battery and then this external battery
is it?

Speaker 1 (23:53):
How do you charge?

Speaker 4 (23:56):
So it can charge multiple ways. It can charge off
the car, but I don't really drive that much. It's
a slow charge. It's like a trickle charge. I can
charge it off of the wall, just like plug it
in with an extension court a wall outlet, like a
wall outlet, and that only takes like forty five minutes
the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
I fixed multiple wall outlets yesterday.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
I'll tell you later to push the button and pulls
the red and then push the red button and then
push the other one.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
What did you do whether it's actually there's only there's
one that actually is tied to a lot of different plugs,
my goodness, and yellow lots on you to get in
there and fix it.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Okay, my gosh, it's so.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
How much to how long does a full charge last
you on that battery?

Speaker 4 (24:34):
It's like, uh, honestly, I wish it was I wish
it was two days, but it's a day and a half. Wow,
So I can like kind of you know what I'm saying,
call it one day. It's it's what it really is,
a day and a half.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
But it was a better battery.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
And it's so hot, it's ninety degrees. It's keeping things
ice cold off for a day and a half.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
I forgot to charge it last night, Okay, And I
I'm pulling up to the building here and I see
there's an outlet outside.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
So ethically, morally.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
There's the word we're looking for.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Ethically, what are y'all am? I can I plug into that?

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Let me ask this question because I'm going to help
you with this. Okay, when your phone needs to be charged,
and maybe you forgot to charge it at home and
you come to the office, do you feel guilty about
plugging it?

Speaker 2 (25:31):
I don't feel guilty at all.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Probably a little more phone, phone and van, a little more.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
Load you make a perfect power.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Here's the only thing that I'm saying. These plugs are
for the people who live in are operate in the building.
I agree, But I will say this, this particular room,
there's a timer when the air is off, unfortunately that
we can't control, and it comes back on at a
certain time. They do that. Why save energy? You're right,
the lights in the hall and off is the same point.

(26:01):
I'm just saying. If they're looking that clothing itin the
load of heating and cooling. This place is a lot.
Let me ask you this, what are the outside plugs
for the maintenance people only? Is that what they're for?
I mean, why they're out there for somebody to use.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Charge charger van, charge of phone, charge of van.

Speaker 5 (26:23):
It even sounds the same.

Speaker 7 (26:24):
It does.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Are you not one of the businesses inside this building
is rent not paid for this space? Yes? Does this
space include outlets?

Speaker 2 (26:34):
It does enough?

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Okay outlets, but yeah, yes, I don't know out such different.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
But I think the way you can look at this
is we're gonna have to use the van while at
work to justify the charge. So I think you're gonna
have to go out to the van and maybe for
at least one segment, be in the van like you're working.
And so because you're working, that means you're doing something

(27:03):
for the show. And it needs to charge, not just
I'm a charge it and it's going to sit out there.
I don't need it, And I'm saying it's like I
had to have this at work, therefore I had to
charge it and I needed a cold sippy cup.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
The parking spots outside provided for the people in the building. Yes,
so outside and insider for those that work here in
the building. Okay, you don't do it all the time
is a point you you just didn't do it every day.
You could start, I could start.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
I kept that to myself at you that's to have
some money on my power.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Well, now we're getting.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Stick back to Hey, I had to do a segment
out there and I charge it up because I was hot.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
It's a remote vehicle, is what it is.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Well to be honest, I'm not surprised with your past
and all stealing Greg. Yeah, Key started out. Remember remember
when it comes to energy, he used to work with
the Southern Company.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
He's sensitive subjects.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
I don't want to waste power and all that. Start
doing peak hours. So I gotta I gotta go back
to this problem.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
What about right now?

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Yeah? Right now? Yeah, next segment be out there. So
I'm trying to get the visual.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
So every night, your sweet van and I'm cleaning that
up is in the driveway and you just have an
extension cord running to it.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah yeah, okay, yep. Do you ever think it's too
much van?

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Sometimes it's a lot of worder for some pops. Yeah, yeah,
my niece, uh said something to me that I think
about a lot. She goes, uh, she goes, is it
easy to drive? I go yeah, yeah, she goes, really
because it looks like it's not easy.

Speaker 6 (28:43):
To d.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
It look like you're having to really concentrate.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
Yeah, and so like I've been trying to like sit
more back, more like more chilled out more.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
You know, honesty, hear real talk. Are you regretting getting
the van?

Speaker 5 (28:58):
No?

Speaker 1 (28:59):
No, no, no, no, no picture that van in carpool
picture yeah, taking I've done it before and it wasn't
as big as this van, but I had a pretty
big one. Yeah, And I found carpooling in it to
be sweet. Like I told you, it just turned into
another apartment, another office, and I'd sleep in it. This
is really talking. You get through drive throughs?

Speaker 2 (29:17):
Can you drive throughs?

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Because of the the only.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Two places I can't go is parking decks and drive
drive throughs.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
You're going to be required to go in the parking
deck at some point.

Speaker 4 (29:32):
I gotta you know, I have to plan that out,
like if I'm ever going to anywhere, you know, like
we're looking.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
For a plug outside of the building. They starting to
feel like your niece a little bit there. Yeah, yeah,
it must be pretty.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
It looks difficult. You look like you're struggling. You look
small in there too. Thank you, Lily.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
You've stolen a van. Run out there real quick and
we come back. You be in the van.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Yeah, that way we can justify O and you being
small and wanting something big like that?

Speaker 6 (30:02):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (30:02):
There's not?

Speaker 5 (30:03):
That?

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Is it?

Speaker 6 (30:04):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Buddy?

Speaker 2 (30:04):
You just go to a hair salon and just look
around longingly. Why don't you do that?

Speaker 7 (30:09):
The Rick Burdger's show.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Adler has his van plugged in to the building. Uh,
by the way, something to think about, you know, the audience.
I was always trying to help Addler. If you're driving
around in this extremely large, menacing van and you get
pulled over without your family and they go back to
a refrigerator filled with things for children, not a good look,

(30:42):
you know. Just probably an investigation would follow. You're going
to answer some tough yes, so just be sure there
are always we there. He goes, so Adler, Yeah, look
at that.

Speaker 6 (30:52):
Ler?

Speaker 1 (30:53):
All right? So those of you that are watching on you,
So where would I get audio from Adler? Just right here?
Just so he's rolling. Okay, So you're going out to
the van.

Speaker 5 (31:02):
Now see me?

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah, yeah, we got you. Yeah, can you hear me? Yep?
Here you fine? Okay, yeah you So go out there
and there he is. There, there's there's a black and it's.

Speaker 5 (31:15):
It's just so much. Every time I see it, it
just gets more sweet.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Yeah have you Is it currently plugged in?

Speaker 8 (31:22):
No?

Speaker 5 (31:22):
I haven't plugged it in yet. And honestly, guys, I
really did want to know.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
I had a couple of snarky people on YouTube commenting like,
this is stupid.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
I don't see why this would even be an issue.
I honestly I felt like I would have had to
sneak it.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
I didn't.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
I'm so glad we talked about this because I didn't
want to. I don't want to sneak nothing.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
It's amazing how how you really think this. You're thinking
this through and almost showing some responsibility, showing some commitment
to what's right. It doesn't really seem like you, you know,
I mean that that there's so many other decisions you make.
This seem much more reckless, but you wanted to get
this one right.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
The bat just scoping out the situation, scoping out the area,
get up up.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Still, electricity still electricity. Well, you know, there's an electrical
contractor said you could leave it plugged in really for
a month and you wouldn't have any impact on you.
You're not you're not running a heap. Plus, he's out
there working for the show. So you're working. Thank you
for doing this segment. You're producing content with the van
and we and we needed to be charged.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Yeah, yeah, we go. Okay, he's pulling though. He's got
the power cord here. He was already back then, ready
to go.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
He knew what he was going to do. Oh yeah,
but he didn't. Now he's pulling the cord across the
the uh. Let's talk about his lack of discernment though.
He went to the three of us for some big.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
This.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Yeah, okay, go ahead, I need more cords too short.
Well that's been it's too easy.

Speaker 6 (32:56):
Bad.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
We're gonna let that one go. We got an extension
coordin here, right yeah, real long, Greg, that Greg jumping
on that statements almost out running the score up. You
just don't do it. That's true. That was leaving alone,
living alone. Okay. So that's a great shot there, buddy,
that you should see. I got it, you got it, okay.

(33:25):
F speed. Here you go, speedy. He doesn't need.

Speaker 5 (33:30):
Dang, I am, I am. I'm just right there, and

Speaker 1 (33:37):
You had I thought that you're gonna need an extent
your core. Do we have some in here? Yeah? But
sure as long it's gonna be a big pile.

Speaker 5 (33:42):
Man, A part too far away. I thought I was
going to be more sneaky about it by parting farther away.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
No, no, that that actually makes you more conspicuous.

Speaker 5 (33:52):
You all want to see the set up in the van, Yeah,
show us the van.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
But let's see that sweet thing.

Speaker 5 (33:57):

Speaker 5 (34:41):
He's got a longer cord.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah, you realize it's like he's driving a delivery van everywhere.
You know, they can't be comfortable if he would just
put the Amazon logo on the side. Oh yeah, I
mean that's all dismissing reckon how it doesn't across wind.
You know, it's a handful, Greg, he got a vehicle
that has a family and that he can't go through driving. Yeah,
that's great.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
Hey, whoever rolled up this extension cord rolled up the
plug part of it all the way in the middle
speed he's having to undo it.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Who would have done that? I mean, super time the
engineer would not have made that mistake.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
The spool they put the plug for the extension cord
at the center of it.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
They got to just move the van.

Speaker 5 (35:19):
Well, we already have done this, Greg, you're too too little,
too late.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
But I don'd rather have done that than do all that.

Speaker 5 (35:27):
I'm gonna see if I got power, See if.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
You got power, See if that's sweet van's powering.

Speaker 5 (35:31):

just dipping our toe into the sports world a little

(39:07):
bit today with football, you know all over us we're excited.
John Gruden has has won a key ruling in Nevada
in a case against the NFL. Do you remember this
Former NFL head coach John Gruden. He had a key
ruling in his case against the league on This happened

(39:28):
on Monday day before yesterday, as the Nevada Supreme Court
determined that his case could proceed instead of arbitration, he
wants to go before a judge, no arbitration, and he
sued the NFL. If you remember in twenty twenty one
when he parted ways with the Las Vegas Raiders because

(39:48):
the NFL leaked emails that revealed or made him look
like a racist, a sexist, and homophobic, that there was
language in there. Of course, that doesn't mean he is
saying because of what was used now that that destroyed
his reputation, and they were leaked. He was accused of that.
He was accused of that, and and these were personal

(40:09):
emails that were leaked, and of course then they're taking
out of context. You don't know what was going back
and forth between the people. And what he's saying is
that the lawsuit is against the league and the commissioner,
Commissioner Roger Goodell, and his allegation is this was malicious,
it was orchestrated, and it was used to destroy my career.

(40:31):
That's why they were leaked. Uh and uh. This was
when he was an ESPPN analyst and a Monday night
football broadcaster. So he's saying they'd done it Greg like
we're talking about days of thunder, and they've done it delibered,
and they did it with the intention, a malicious intention
of destroying me. And he was the truth to come

(40:53):
out on who was behind the emails and who orchestrated
it all. Now, this is interesting and and I'm familiar
with this a little bit.

Speaker 6 (41:02):
You know.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
The new thing now is that no matter what you do,
people try to make you agree under duress to arbitration,
or you can't proceed with your car purchase, you can't
proceed with fill in the blank. There's a lot of
companies that try to do that, and this ruling and
others like it, and this is happening more and more,

(41:26):
by the way, more and more that there's a lot
of cases that are going against these arbitration clauses saying
they're not constitutional, that everybody has a right to to
stand before a court, and you can't just pressure people
to give up that constitutional right, you know, or yet
or yet you're not going to pay them, or yet

(41:47):
they're not you're not going to get to the product
you want or whatever are they're not going to provide
the service you want to pay for or whatever the
case may be. So in this court, on a ruling
of five to two, said the NFL's arbitration clause, it
it that it does not apply to Gruden as a
former employee because he wasn't even working for them at

(42:10):
the time. Okay, so so there you go. Uh, well,
we'll see how that goes. But you know, there's also
been other rulings that say, you know, you can't deny
people access to a court. And and then a lot
of times some of them are losing, and they're losing
big because you go in and like people don't really
explain it to you. You just start filling that paperwork,

(42:30):
you know, yeah, yeah, sure, check yeah. Well. And and
also many times where a lot of them fail, and
those of you that have employees that are supposed to
be implementing these for you, you better go check it.
Where a lot of them fail is when the person says,
I was never told that I didn't have to sign it,
that I had other options, and you know you're supposed

(42:53):
to be told now you can refuse to agree to arbitration.
You know, yeah, this is what that you have have
to educate them on what they're doing and what their
other options are, and when you don't, these usually don't
stand up. Now in this case, it's a little bit
different because they're saying, now you're trying to still make
him one of your employees something he signed when he
when he was an ESPN analyst, you know, then he

(43:16):
was free of this. Yeah, So so now we'll see
how that goes. And and you know, it's interesting that
he's continuing this. Did y'all kind of feel like that
was I kind of thought he moved on with his
life and was out there, you know, kind of being
funds on Gruden and doing all the Gruden things he does.
Did you I didn't realize he was still kind of
had a little extra grind. And we reported on him

(43:38):
saying that he wants to coach again, and I heard
a clip the other day again even mentioned the SEC.
He was like, Hey, yes, I was absolutely really ready
to get back in it. Okay, yeah, you know I
think he's still how old is grooded?

Speaker 6 (43:52):
Now?

Speaker 1 (43:52):
I'm sorry, let's see, he seems like sixty one. Look
if Belichick and coach North Carolina, Yeah, Grden can coach
your college football team. Yeah, that's twenty six year old
I've just forgot coach. I just forgot Belichick's coaching North
Carolina Carolina, and that weird. That is strange. What's weirder

(44:13):
is that going to look like he's coaching North Carolina
or that he's dating this twenty six year old twenty four?
Twenty four two years ago? Article say you you may
be right? Right? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (44:27):
Yeah, she's twenty four?

Speaker 1 (44:29):
Wow? Are you serious? Wow? Okay, wow, twenty four. Guys,
that's two years out of college. And guys, let's just
go here and I know one year. I know money
helps the way you look, but he ain't George Clooney.
It ain't like he's aged, and the women think he
looks better even though he's older. He gives Brad Pitt
he's not them great, but he's got a ten that
has a really green color to it. It does now

(44:50):
he does that bad.

Speaker 4 (44:51):
Bill Belichick, age seventy two, is closer in age to
the oldest woman alive age one hundred and sixteen than
he is to his girl.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
That's a great. How about that?

Speaker 2 (45:05):
Numbers doing like numbers don't.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
That's so weird. They open up against TCU on September
the first. How about that? You think will that be good?
You think we'll be right back. It's one of the
things I've you know, tried to do when people see
me with my wife, even though you know, she's only

(45:28):
six years younger than me, she's you know, quite beautiful,
and of course I'm not, but but I hope that
maybe you can be around and go, well, hey, you know,
Cherry will say he makes me laugh, he's he's gregarious.
There's a personality. Belichick don't even have that. His personality
is terrible. I mean, it's his personality is terrible. He's

(45:50):
he's old, he's he's i mean wealthy. Is he bringing
anything else but wealthy? If he is, he's hiding it
from everybody else except her. And he must be so
much fun, y'all wouldn't believe it, right, he gotta be
really fun. Right, But but anyways, cash helps. Yeah, and
then we were talking about will North Carolina be successful. Well,
now that we're basically have another version of professional football,

(46:14):
he can say, I'm one of the greatest NFL coaches
the league has ever known. I'm very well connected. Play
for me and I'll make these connections for you, and
we'll pay a little something right here, and I don't
know how much money that. You know, North Carolina has
gotten their coffer. But yeah, you know they're not Texas.
I'll say that that's that nobody to understand, no, except

(46:36):
for Texas, I am. But what people got to understand that.
I mean, yeah, you can be good and all that,
but if everybody's buying all the players, yeah, and you're
gonna have I don't like it, but you're gonna have
to throw the money out until they change. Somebody suggested yesterday, Greg,
the reason why you and I didn't enjoy college football
last year like we thought we would is that we
were having a hard time getting passed in and I
l and the unlimited transfer port. Yeah, the unlimited transfer port.

(46:59):
Really are we just are we just having a hard
time with it? Yeah, yeah we are. Now he was
driving around in Corvettes and Lamborghinis.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
And oh yeah, so he brought his son, Steve Belichick.
He's the defensive coordinator right back to North Carolina coach.
Some my own text nations said that, you know, I
looked up the staff here and he has listed as
defensive coordinator linebackers coach. So maybe Belichick is the defensive
back coach. And safeties coach.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
Well, you know, I hope they're having a good time.
He certainly is, but you know, and who knows what
it'll be interesting to see the product that we get
put on the field. Yeah, so we'll take a look
at that. Remember how good they weren't last year. I
don't remember some other things out of the entertainment industry.
We didn't hit this one yesterday, Greg saying he can't
recall this actress having much work after What's Happening. Danielle

(47:54):
Spencer has died at sixty. This was d right from
Rogers sister, Roger's sister from What's Happening? A lot of
your two You going to remember this sitcom I forgot
very very funny, and her character was Oh, I mean
it was good. She was really good. She was good.
And now did she ever do anything after that? She
became a veterinarian. What Yeah, they didn't saw acting, but

(48:17):
they said, but mostly her job, she was a veterinarian. Okay,
that's a funny show. I didn't realize how funny. I
was watching on TV LAMB one day and she she
is hilarious, funny, funny in that show. That's a good show. Yeah,
so serm the time the Dobie Brothers run it. Yeah,
not sure why. Yeah, it said that people don't understand

(48:40):
the cast members from what's happening. They said, you don't
understand how gifted she was as an actress, being so young,
and how she pulled that off. But like you said,
she became a veterinarian and didn't seem to continue down
that road much after that. So she died at sixty
battle with breast cancer. Oh man, that's that. Yeah, that

(49:00):
they couldn't catch in time. Another thing that Greg and
I have been talking about is this Netflix series with
Leahn Morgan, the comedian you know her, I want you
to think about. And I know she was out there
grinding a little more before that, but this may be
the most successful empty ness move I've ever seen. She

(49:21):
raised her kids and once her kids got old enough,
and she always, you know, had this love of being
a comedian. This woman, Yeah, at fifty nine years old,
about to be sixty in October. We have the same birthday,
by the way, October thirty. She has exploded in a
way unrel And one thing about that is I like
that for the reason that she's clean. She's just funny.

(49:46):
She says, yeah, and now you you saw her here, right,
I did, yeah, And that's the first time I'd ever
heard of her. Oh really, I never did know who
she was. And then I saw her stand up special
and I went, Okay, this is funny, funny, and then
this saidcom's hilarious. So you're saying this is a this
is like her episodes. Yeah, no, it's a made up,

(50:07):
made up reality series. I understand that. But what I'm
saying is that she just playing a mom. I mean, like,
what what is it. She's just playing a mom. She's
playing a empty nester. Yeah, and her husband had just divorced. Yeah,
husband unfaithful. Gott got calls funny. I mean, you come
out of the gate. Their marriages is ending. And it's

(50:28):
that guy. I don't know any of their names, but
he was part of the cast of Whose Line Is
It Anyway? He's funny that improv show.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
The scrawny guy.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
He's a tall Yeah, he's the husband Blake Clark who,
by the way, by the way Lee and Morgan and
was also on the Rick and Bubba Show. Member we
interviewed her. Yeah, yeah, Blake Clark many years ago was
on the Rick and Bubby show. He plays her dad,
and you know him when you see him. He's water boy,
water boy. Yeah, I got you the coach, which people
sitting coaches nobody and everybody claimed that I look like

(50:59):
him when I was wearing my hat and Obama's remember
he wore that hat? He did so uh And then
of course the woman playing her mom funny. She's funny.
I've seen her the same, I've seen her in a
million different things. Very funny.

Speaker 6 (51:12):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
So there's sixteen episodes and it's it's just like a
sitcom that each episode is only about what twenty twenty
five minutes. Yeah, so you're saying this is worth that.
I'm gonna yes, yes, funny, funny, funny. And then the
third Rock from the Sun. You remember that actress, the
Big Tall one, plays her sister. Yeah, funny. Yeah, I
can't think I got a great cask. And the writers
are seeming to be good because the material is funny. Well,

(51:35):
I was worried about that. I was afraid it wouldn't
be funny because you can't be funny anymore. But when
you're her kind of funny, you can. She's not really
gonna upset or offend anybody. She's just being you know,
which its looks that she gets on her She has
some of the best expressions, and my concern was kind

(51:56):
of comedian, not come across as I'm acting. But it's
all kind of from her material. Now, it's not, you know,
like in her life. Her marriage is actually very solid
and she loves her husband and her kids and all that.
So it's not it's not like a depiction of her life,
but it is kind of a depiction of her comedy. Right,
Is that accurate?

Speaker 6 (52:15):
It is?

Speaker 1 (52:16):
You know, so some of the comments she makes, you've
heard her do that in her stand up about you know,
being a woman who's aging and all those things. Funny funny, funny.
Oh yeah, all the characters and they're funny. I think
probably the weakest characters her son, I don't I don't
think he's all that great. Yeah, I mean he has

(52:37):
some moments that he's okay. The daughter, you know, funny. Yeah,
you got the daughter who's completely wayward. I mean they
you don't even you don't even get out of the gate.
I think it's like episode one and her daughter comes
walking in and her sister to so goes. There's some
remforce she comes over. Your son's actually a great person,
you know what I mean? The favorite are the mom

(52:58):
and dad, the older couple. Funny god question. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (53:02):
Okay, So The Office was one of the first shows
that did not have a laugh track. It didn't have
like ha ha ha ha ha laughter on the show
this one does.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
Is it a studio audience or is it a track?
I don't know, but there is laughing in it.

Speaker 4 (53:19):
There's the laughing thing. I haven't watched a show like
that in a while. I think probably the one of
the few that I go back to all the time
is Seinfeld. It's got the laughing.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
But guys, it works by the way people and I
think it's a live audience because they're responding, like to
a few tracks, they may put some details. They're doing
all what's you see the last episode I'm doing? By
the way, you guys tell me a little bit, would
you please stop?

Speaker 3 (53:48):
The Burgess boys have both seen it, and we have
an adler, so we're if they don't stop talking about
they're going to tell you the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
Okay, So it was filmed in front of a live
studio audience.

Speaker 1 (53:58):
Feels like it is.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Yeah, yeah, that's actually great. The canned laughter. It starts
to bother you after why it's this one?

Speaker 1 (54:06):
If I was gonna say, if it's canned laughter, it's
the most creative can laughter I've heard. They've put a
lot of effort because it's unique. It's not the same
every time.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
That's huge. I'm so relieved to you.

Speaker 1 (54:15):
Yeah, I think you'll you'll like that. Uh, it's you know,
it's it's it's really it's funny. And speaking of the Office,
have y'all seen that the writers of the Office have
a new series that's coming out. I need to know
is it on regular TV? And you know how they
did the thunder Mifflin made paper and you're thinking, how
far can you go with this? It's so outdated. They've

(54:38):
done the same thing. And guess what they're making fun
of any newspaper that's still going okay, So it's gonna
be a local newspaper. I bet that's fun and it's
gonna be that same. As a matter of fact, the
guy who played Oscar is in this somehow. I don't
know if this is his new job. And as soon
as the camera walks in, he jumps up and says, no,
I'm not doing this again. You'll like this. I'm not
agreeing to this.

Speaker 6 (54:57):
You know.

Speaker 1 (54:58):
So they're acting like they're doing a documentary now on
a local paper, same exact format, different actors, different topic. Yeah,
it's called the.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
Paper, the Paper, and it's it's a documentary sitcom and
it was created by Greg Dankers and it's gonna be
on Peacock.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
Yes, okay, yeah, I see some of them. I probably
I probably would give that a look. Yeah, I'll give that.
Let me tell you The Office now, could you could
not erit with the same content, but it's the same format.
I don't know how irreverent they'll be. The Office would
go anywhere, and it was hilarious.

Speaker 2 (55:32):
It was fantastic.

Speaker 1 (55:33):
Yeah, so I don't know, but yeah, the The Lean Show,
because you know sometimes when a comedian does their own show.
You know, Seinfeld struggled with this. When you first start,
you're like, and really, if you look at it, Seinfeld
is the worst actor in Seinfeld. But it doesn't matter, no,
because it works, and but leand Morgan actually comes across believable.

Speaker 4 (55:53):
This is yeah, Oscar Martinez from the Office, his real
name is Oscar Nuniez.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
Really we'll be right back.

Speaker 7 (56:02):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
Yesterday. You know, something I wasn't really expecting, wasn't really
expecting little mixed emotions here, mixed emotions. So I get
home from work, you know, try to do a little better,
getting ready for dinner, and and all of a sudden,
the phone, my wife's phone ring. She picks it up,

(56:33):
and she goes, yeah, yes, sure, but yeah, we'll be here.
That'll be fine, okay. And I said, we don't, we'll
be here, We don't. Yeah, I've got some you know,
some people coming over to look at our electrical situation.
And I said what, I said, what do you mean?
And I said, do you need do you need me

(56:55):
to go fix something? You know, I just said that
with a straight face. I said, we don't have to
call people anymore. Sure, it's a new day around here.
And I said, I said, were you there the other
day when I went in there and fixed the light fixture?
And by the way, it was double illumination. She goes,
you you changed two light bulbs. I said, exactly, double illumination.

(57:15):
Does it work now? Yes? And so fixed. So this
is what this is. When you know, it was one
of those moments and this this happened. So these two
people come there. I guess they have some sort of
electrical background, and and and there's a reoccurring problem which
I had already fixed once. Of speaking of adlers stealing power.

(57:39):
Some of our outside outlets keep tripping, they keep going out.
There's something. One of the one's covers come completely off.
And she was like, well, if nothing else, you know,
these covers need to be And I'm like, hey, I'm
right here. I said, that sounds that's something that my
Phillips said, my flathead and my crusher wrench could a song.

(58:00):
And and she was like, I would. I just want
to have someone look at it. Obviously there's a bigger problem,
I said, you talking about bigger than what I've already repaired.
She goes, yeah, changing light bulbs. Yeah, and she goes
with the plugs that you did reset them once, but
we're still having the problem. And I said, no, I didn't.
I didn't reset them. I thought I had fixed it.

(58:21):
Have you been messing with them? She was, I didn't
messed with were talking about? I said, well, sometimes when
I get things repaired, and it's that Brud needs to
talk to me before we start messing with them again,
and I said, well this is I said, well, this
is disappointing. And so they get there and you know,
they they there's one breaker that keeps tripping. So they
get to the bottom of that, which I was already

(58:41):
all over. Oh you are, Yeah, he would go push
the button every time and there's a reason and that
there was a yeah. And so they're they're doing the
work and and course now you know they see me,
and uh, they probably thought they were coming to a
place there was no husband, you know, and so I

(59:02):
I kind of ease out onto the deck where some
of the plugs are that aren't working that I you know,
I have been assessing. And it was really I love
these moments when because you don't know when what we
do for a living, you never go out there and assume,
you know that people listen to the show or watch
the show. So I'm standing out there with these two

(59:23):
young men and they're telling Sherry what they discovered and
they found the problem and and all that professionals and
I imagined shirts and a lot of schooling. Yeah, so
here's what was great. I also want them looked at me,
and he goes, I'm glad we're able to do that
with that having to call.

Speaker 6 (59:42):
You in.

Speaker 1 (59:45):
Without saying anything. He said that he looked. But also
he take this ind and he goes, righty, righty, right
here right He goes, you didn't get your Phillips seat
of it. I said, you tell me we're gonna put
the new cover on. Gotta have I said, I assume
somewhere in there you might made me write here right
here riding tying that thing up for you, And he started,
he said, man, what a what an honor to meet

(01:00:06):
a handyman. Man. Yeah, And so there was a of course,
a project going on for some reason which I'll never
know why. Apparently we need a pergola. I never even
heard that. Heard she went on that I never even Yeah,
she I said, she came on that. She came in
with an estimate from and I said, go find another one. Yeah,

(01:00:28):
you're kidding, which means called Gary. If you want me
to come Fir and Bill at P I will. And
so that was actually one thing that was brought up.
I said, Gary doesn't need to come here. We can't
bring him out of Childon County and have him working
here down there. It's fine here it's it's gonna there's
gonna be trouble. So there were a couple that had

(01:00:48):
kind of started it, and I looked at the guys
and we were on the deck. I said, this little
project I'm working on down there, and they looked at
me and he goes what I said, yeahga, And then
then the one to the furthest off kind of snickered
like that. He goes, you're not that'sid and sure he goes,
he's not building the pergola and he goes For a minute.

(01:01:11):
I was like, boy, he's really along. I don't know
how you're going to do that with your three tools? Yeah,
more than that? What is I mean?

Speaker 6 (01:01:20):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
It's pergola?

Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
Pergola and and you know you need to.

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
Get Adler over there with his saw. You know what
I've noticed? Do you agree with me? You know what
I've noticed? You know what I've noticed. You gotta be
careful what your wife sees, you know you do? You
got to keep her off what's that thing where they
get on their adventures. Oh yeah, you can't let her
on there. No, And this is one of those things.
We were just taking a simple walk through a flower place,

(01:01:49):
a flower place. Yeah, you know it's where they sell
plants and stuff, nursery. Yes, you know now now that
I see this, if you would have there's I would
never in my mind thought that was called a pergila.
If you were coining, I said, I need a probably
go I can't bigel Now I see what it is.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
It's not a pergola. It's not a dracula like dracula.

Speaker 8 (01:02:10):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:02:10):
The first time I call it like a well the
first time I heard it. When she sure she sat down,
she goes, I really, I really would like to have
She said, I really think I need a pergola. And
I thought, well, she's been there, she's she's been there,
female doctor, you know what I mean? And and uh
and I was She was like, no, is this over
where the fires be the fire pit. It's where we

(01:02:31):
had a like a lot of people when your kids
are growing up, we had like a swing set thing
and so there was you know, wood around it that
had the pe pebbles or the wood chips or whatever,
and you had you know, the place set a little placed.
So the play set we we donated and gave it
to a family after everybody was gone. Well, now it's
just an open spot. Apparently they can't stand and I thought, well,

(01:02:53):
I was kind of open for maybe growing some tomatoes
or something in that dematoes, and she was like, no,
that's an eyesore. I I said, it's not an eyesored.
Nobody cares. That's a part of the yard. I don't
think anybody cares about. And in interest, I saw this
would be a great Apparently it's about to come alive
with the pergia. Were good, all right.

Speaker 4 (01:03:13):
One thing that bothers me about a pergola is that
it's like a shaded area, but only kind of shape.

Speaker 1 (01:03:19):
Thank you. You got to have vines grow up, and
that creates you know what's next with steria? Oh yeah,
it covers it. Oh yeah, yeah, the particulas are in.
We've only just begun, said the carpenters. What we're about
the percula. I thought it was coffee. I thought that
was an old coffee maker.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
That's not what that is.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
And have a percola?

Speaker 6 (01:03:42):
I bet.

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
So, uh, Addler, and I know Speedy you have some
too that we may get to before this hour is over.
But Adam, we must first go to you. Coming off vacation.
I heard I heard you humbling something under your breath
about Franklin.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
Yeah, Franklin is my step dog.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
And he's never saw users real fin.

Speaker 4 (01:04:09):
No, still doesn't about fourteen fifteen years and I don't
even know something like that. It's I mean, I get
ten years at least, buddy, My goodness.

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
So over the over the.

Speaker 4 (01:04:22):
Break I've discussed it was, it was a big break.
We had Ruby start in kindergarten. Uh, last Friday, my
wife back at school with students, and also it was
my wife's birthday last Friday.

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
It was a big, big week.

Speaker 4 (01:04:38):
We're trying to get trying to you know, just I
was just trying to make everything happen at your big boy.

Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
And we get through the week. Everything's cool, and then Friday,
I take the dogs out.

Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
And because my wife has been very busy, she hasn't
been this last week or so been able to spend
as much time with Franklin, her dog our excuse me.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
And he is a head case. He's a major head case.

Speaker 4 (01:05:05):
You guys have coached teams in which you have a
kid on the team that's a major head case, and
you got to really treat them specially.

Speaker 1 (01:05:12):
And if it's a.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
Bad week, it's gonna be bad behavior, bad play, whatever
it makes. Franklin is.

Speaker 4 (01:05:20):
He's a major head case, and my wife has been
super busy and he's just he's down.

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
He's down about that. He's very overly attached to her,
you know how a dog can be overly attached. Staring
at her through the window.

Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
People are hearing about him for the first time. Explain
what kind of dog he is?

Speaker 4 (01:05:37):
Okay, So Franklin is he has the body and the
legs of a basset hound. Okay, but he has the
length and color of a German shepherd. He has the
face of a German shepherd, but the ears of a
basset hound, the legs of a basset hound.

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
Tale of a German shepherd.

Speaker 1 (01:05:56):
Actually weird.

Speaker 4 (01:05:58):
Yes, if you've ever seen that, if you've ever seen
The Princess Bride, you know the r o U S
is the rodents of unusual size. It's just like this,
like weird sausage with tiny legs and a crazy face.
Franklin has the build of an r o U s
the rodents of unusual size, And I'm gonna I'm gonna
look that up right now.

Speaker 1 (01:06:18):
I just I know there's a lot of people trying
to visualize what.

Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
Yes, what you're talking about, mister painted a very so
y'all all know that reference, right the R O U
s is yes, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:06:30):
So that's what Franklin looks like. His body is very
messed up.

Speaker 1 (01:06:34):
And uh he is.

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
He's a very special boy.

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
Well look at that.

Speaker 8 (01:06:38):
And so.

Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
Friday I noticed because I always take the dogs out
at night. I let the dogs out. There's woods behind
our house.

Speaker 4 (01:06:46):
The dogs will go disappear into the woods, and Kevin
will come back in four or five minutes, and then
I put him inside and generally Franklin will come back
in usually under.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
Eight minutes max.

Speaker 4 (01:06:57):
Eight bring the rear, Yeah, he'll He'll take a little
bit more time. And Friday it was like twelve minutes,
and I'm like, I was getting a little nervous.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
But then he shows.

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
In a storm, I know.

Speaker 4 (01:07:09):
And he's never ran away unless there's a storm. He
has run away a storm coming's a he's a head
case about storms also, and he has run away once before.
And thanks to that delivery truck driver lady who was like,
I was like, hey have you seen my dog? No,
hey have you seen my dog? As I'm like panicking
driving around and then she was like, was he a

(01:07:30):
weird looking dog? And I was like, yes, that's him.
And she actually literally gave me the address and he
was like messing with some cat, like two miles away
from our house in this storm.

Speaker 2 (01:07:40):
And by the way, I told you all that I was.

Speaker 4 (01:07:41):
I was riding around with one hundred dollars bill looking
for that Amazon delivery lady. I found her and I
gave her that hundred over the break as well, So
I made that right, I was. I gave her a
hundred bucks.

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
You should not ride around that with a hundred dollar
bill saying I've got one hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
The amount of worry and stress that that lady saved me.
She didn't have to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:05):
She didn't save you. She just told you. You asked
her and she said, yeah, I saw that weird looking.

Speaker 4 (01:08:09):
I talked to her three times in the neighborhood. I was,
I was panicking looking, and she was very helpful.

Speaker 2 (01:08:12):
She didn't have to do that. She helped me and
I wouldn't have not have found Franklin if it wasn't
for that, Like you're.

Speaker 1 (01:08:16):
A sight to see when you panic, I'm gonna come
by and kidding that Franklin and then that like I
found it well quick hundred.

Speaker 2 (01:08:23):
A hundred free money machine.

Speaker 4 (01:08:26):
So on Saturday night, I take the dogs out, Kevin
comes back in as usual two to three, four minutes.
Sure Franklin is not back. After eight minutes, oh boy.
And then twelve minutes, and then it's fifteen minutes, and
then it's eighteen minutes, and I know that Franklin is gone.

Speaker 2 (01:08:47):
I know that Franklin is gone.

Speaker 4 (01:08:49):
And y'all, I'm like, oh no, I did it again.
And I didn't put on his little light up collar.
We have a light up all for him, and I
did not do that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:57):
Else was bad. That delivery lady was not then.

Speaker 4 (01:09:01):
Yo, So y'all I I am, I'm paying it. I'm panicking,
and I grab a flashlight and I'm running. I run
into the woods with y'all. I'm in the middle of
the woods and it's it's like ten thirty at night
with a flashlight looking.

Speaker 1 (01:09:17):
For this dog, for this dog? Are you kind of
whisper hollering.

Speaker 4 (01:09:22):
Frank glad Well. The thing is, both of my dogs
are old. They can't see, and they really can't hear,
at least they pretend like they can't.

Speaker 2 (01:09:28):
Hear because I'll be.

Speaker 4 (01:09:28):
Like hey, hey, hey, hey hey, and then I'll go
up to him and I'll touch him on the side softly.

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
I'm not hitting my.

Speaker 4 (01:09:34):
Dogs, but I'll touch him on the side and you'll
go and freak out like he didn't even know I
was there. So that happens all the time with a
dog of fing So now I know that I just
need to touch them and be like, hey, buddy, see me,
and I'll like wave like.

Speaker 2 (01:09:48):
We are going inside the house, now go. So I
do that, y'all. I'm in the woods. It is the
spookiest thing.

Speaker 4 (01:10:00):
Yeah, there are rabbits all around me by the way,
their eyes glowing in the night.

Speaker 2 (01:10:06):
And I'm like, okay, there's a rabbit. That's a rabbit.
That's a rabbit. That's a rabbit. Like it's you were
just sticking a rabbit. What what in the world?

Speaker 4 (01:10:12):
Yes, And I'm like they multiplied all right if I
can spot these rabbits. Franklin's definitely not around here.

Speaker 7 (01:10:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:10:19):
A owl hoots at me. I mean it was I'm like,
what is going on? And then my flashlight starts to die,
like flickering. It's flickering, like I'm in a horror movie
and I'm like panicking, like idiot, no, no, all, I
have you.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
Know what I'm saying. My wife loves that dog so much.
It's a symbol. It's a symbol. You see what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:10:46):
It's so means so much it If you don't care
more about Franklin, this hot stop right here, it's just
you got me out now.

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
It's twenty two minutes gone.

Speaker 1 (01:10:56):
And you're in the woods with a flashlight that's going.

Speaker 2 (01:10:58):
It's dying. And there's rabbits everywhere, there's hooters everywhere. It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
I don't know where you're at. That's right back to
He's a symbol of so many things, isn't he.

Speaker 4 (01:11:12):
Yes, it's like her life without me, like it's you know,
it's nice, it's she. I think that's what he's symbol wife,
And I've lost him. I've killed that part.

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
Of her again. What about the dog? And it's Franklin again.
Now understand everybody, because if you don't understand the background
Adlers tried to tell you, but some of you may
be just kind of skimming into this. Franklin and Adler's wife, Aaron,

(01:11:46):
had a life before Chris and Franklin doesn't like Chris.
He loves loves Aaron loves. Yeah, what's the marrier, right,
which is love?

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
Love her so much you marry it, Franklin.

Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
But anyway, so Franklin has an attitude about not enough
attention from the wife. And you've left me to be
watched by my stepdad, Chris Adler, and he's lost time
and he's lost me. And do you understand when Franklin's
time ends on earth? Whenever? That is Chris Adler cannot

(01:12:24):
be tied to it in any way nor no. Okay,
so the dog is lost. You're in the woods and
thirty ath night you're on vacation. Never forget that. And
and your flashlight is going dimn that's where we left
the story.

Speaker 4 (01:12:38):
Yes, and my wife's cat, who she also had before,
also lost. I did also lose that cat, but I
found that cat. That cat came back safe and sound.

Speaker 1 (01:12:49):
You trapped it. You have the neighbor one hundred dollars right.

Speaker 2 (01:12:53):
Right that that cat has passed away recently.

Speaker 1 (01:12:59):
And and so something horrible, horrible happens that molder just.

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
Old, Yes, that's molder.

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
Did I get that right?

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
You're right?

Speaker 1 (01:13:06):
How did you get that I have no idea.

Speaker 4 (01:13:09):
And so Franklin is the last shred of of he
like I said, he represents so much. He is built
like I said in r O U s from from
Princess Bride. Here he is as a puppy. So this
was he was much more skinny then he has gotten
a lot more thick, like a like a sausage walking around.

Speaker 1 (01:13:30):
Have a German shepherd tail.

Speaker 4 (01:13:31):
He's got a German shepherd tail and kind of a
German shepherd body, but Basset hound legs.

Speaker 1 (01:13:35):
And I don't know how that.

Speaker 6 (01:13:40):
She did.

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
So it was a German shepherd in the basket. Yeah, wow, dominant, dominant, dominating.

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
Here he is where here's here he's wearing a hat.

Speaker 1 (01:13:50):
Look, I will tell you look at him. He is
German shepherd. If his dad was the if his that
was the bast at hound, there was a step ladders.
I'm just proud of him.

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
I'm not even mad if that's his dad.

Speaker 1 (01:14:07):
So embarrassed, look at his face is embarrassed. He's embarrassed
of his relationship with that he is.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
And so I cannot lose this dog, y'all.

Speaker 4 (01:14:19):
I'm panicking. I've messed up. We have a light up
collar that I did not put on Franklin. Yeah, yeah,
it's like a little eli. Yes, it's really you know
why because you didn't know.

Speaker 1 (01:14:32):
You know why he doesn't have it because it's probably
not charged, just like is a refrigerator.

Speaker 7 (01:14:37):
And so.

Speaker 4 (01:14:38):
And he also has I think his bad collar on,
like that doesn't have his name or anything on it,
Like he is he is lost.

Speaker 2 (01:14:45):
If he is lost, he's lost. And so I'm in
the I'm in the woods with a flashlight.

Speaker 4 (01:14:51):
I'm panicking and my light is starting to flicker and
die like I'm in a horror movie. Hit he the
flashlight because I'm dead if this is it's so dark
out guys, rabbits are looking at me. I'm afraid they're
gonna jump up on me, like getting naughty python, you

(01:15:13):
never know. And I'm thinking, did Franklin chase a did chase?
Did he chase a rabbit? You know, straight into the woods.
And it's now been twenty five minutes and even as
a dog with comically short legs can cover a lot
of ground in twenty five minutes again, and I'm like,
I've walked around the house, I've walked into the woods.

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
My flashlight is dying, and I run out of the
woods with a dead flashlight. It dies. I'm now in the.

Speaker 4 (01:15:36):
Dark in the woods, and I don't remember if it's
just because my phone is old, or if it was
in like the battery saving mode. It's like I turned
the light on on my phone and it was just
it was lighting up my fingers on like that's how
far it would go. It would go ten inches, and
then like no light, no light, I'm just dark in
the woods.

Speaker 1 (01:15:55):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (01:15:56):
So I run out of the woods and I got
to go in and tell my wife what hey, I've
been looking for the dog for almost twenty minutes in
the woods and he's nowhere to be found.

Speaker 2 (01:16:06):
And I need you to just walk laps around this
house in case he comes back.

Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
Did you jump in and get right to it or
did you stall?

Speaker 4 (01:16:14):
No, it's go out of breath, out of breath panic.
And my wife's birthday was yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:16:20):
Did you elevate your care for franking hoping it would
divert any any anger that would come at you? Yes, okay, no,
actually no, no, no, no.

Speaker 4 (01:16:30):
I and my wife knows that I really don't care.
It's not that I'm just gonna be real, I don't.
It's not Franklin I care about. It's my wife that
I care about.

Speaker 2 (01:16:38):
I care about her feelings.

Speaker 1 (01:16:39):
Of course that's normal.

Speaker 2 (01:16:40):
And yes, I don't care about this dog. Just real.
It wouldn't. I mean if it was my fault, and
I would feel.

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
Bad if you ran over something like that feels bad
if I ran over. Let me tell you how much
he that Adler, it cares about this, honestly, and he's
a man torn. I've offered my serfs turned him now true?

Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
Yeah, wow, yeah, your dog knapper. Isn't that what it's called?

Speaker 1 (01:17:04):
Correct?

Speaker 4 (01:17:06):
She's walking laps around the house, and to her credit,
she stayed very calm because I know I'm going to
be the one in trouble is she just knows that
all she's going to be is just mad for the
rest of our lives, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:17:16):
So she really don't have that much at stake.

Speaker 4 (01:17:18):
I do, true, And so I am like, you know what,
he went, and he went to that cat's house like
two miles away through the woods. Maybe he's headed back there.
And so I jump in the van at ten o'clock
at night. It's ten, it's eleven o'clock.

Speaker 1 (01:17:34):
Now it's van with one hundred dollars in the dark. Now, yes,
roaming the neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (01:17:38):
And so now I get in the van, I roll
the windows down, and.

Speaker 4 (01:17:42):
I'm like, he better be in the road because that's
the only thing I can see because it is so
dark out, Like if he could be right there and
I would.

Speaker 2 (01:17:49):
Just miss him, I'll drive right past.

Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
Dark colored.

Speaker 4 (01:17:51):
So I'm driving and I'm starting to do concentric larger
concentric circles outside that word.

Speaker 1 (01:17:57):
In a creepy van at eleven o'clock at nine popstickles
and juice.

Speaker 2 (01:18:04):
Boxes, and yes, all of that car seats everything, And
y'all it's so dark.

Speaker 4 (01:18:10):
I'm going to could Sacks and I'm doing two laps
in the cold sack, just panicking, trying to look, trying
to see, trying to see anything, doing to you see
what I'm saying, spinning, spinning, going, leaving, spinning, spinning, leaving.
I've done three four cold de sacks now and I'm
I'm increasing my search radius.

Speaker 1 (01:18:25):
I'd love to have the recordings of not one one
calls go ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
And y'all, I see across the road.

Speaker 4 (01:18:34):
A shadowy, weird looking hot dog tumbleweed going across the road,
and I can't believe it. I'm about a mile away
from the house and running across the road.

Speaker 2 (01:18:46):
Is Franklin?

Speaker 1 (01:18:50):
Is he going to visit that?

Speaker 2 (01:18:51):
Can you know he was going the wrong way?

Speaker 4 (01:18:54):
By the way, Frankly, you weren't even going to that
cat again, you idiot, you idiot, you stupid idiot. Okay, so, y'all,
I pull over the van, and I don't know if
he knew it was the van and it was me,
or if he just saw car pulling over and he
run he ran from it, but he ran, he runs away.

Speaker 2 (01:19:12):
He is running acause you're not my real yard, You're
not my real dad. Did he know it was me?

Speaker 1 (01:19:19):
He did? I can't stand you.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
Did he know the sound of the van?

Speaker 1 (01:19:24):
You're not aarin?

Speaker 4 (01:19:25):
And so y'all, I pull over the van really quick,
and you start like you don't want to run. But
then I realized he's going to disappear in between these
houses and it's gonna be gone, He's gonna be done.

Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
So now I am.

Speaker 4 (01:19:37):
Chasing Franklin across two yards now into my third yard,
hollering Franklin. I'm not screaming because I don't want to
scream at him. I jump on Franklin in a person's yard. Yes,
I jump on Franklin, and he thinks he's being attacked
or something.

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
I grab him. I finally get his caller.

Speaker 4 (01:19:55):
I pick him up, and I am now walking through
someone's yard holding a fifty pound I throw him in
the back of the van.

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
I call my wife and I say, I got it.
I got him home.

Speaker 4 (01:20:06):
I got him home. And it did it look like
an actual kidnapping? Yes, it is one percent. It looked
like I threw a body in the back of the van.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
Is the Rick Burger's show, Eder, Obviously there's a lot
of response to what you just talked about. I can't
help but think in my mind that you were in
your big van. You admitted that it's now probably getting

(01:20:36):
between ten thirty and eleven o'clock at night.

Speaker 4 (01:20:38):
He's after eleven.

Speaker 1 (01:20:39):
Yeah, now you're after eleven, and you keep circling cul
de sacs. You keep, you know, bouncing around the neighborhood,
frantically coming back again. And then the climax of the story,
someone could someone could see you scoop up about a
fifty pounds something and throw it into your van and
drive off quickly.

Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
Yeah, you know this is a bad look, right, Yeah,
it looked like an actual kidnapping.

Speaker 1 (01:21:05):
Yeah, yeah, that's a bad look.

Speaker 3 (01:21:07):
In my mind, I've got like an episode of Cops
when you know they're chasing the thief and they dive
in the front yard and get him down, yeah, and
try to handcuff him and get him back in the
in the in the cruiser.

Speaker 1 (01:21:20):
Yes, that's kind of what you were doing. Yes, I
think I know the answer to these things. Is there
an option now that you become Franklin on the leash guy.
When he goes to the restroom, I'm keeping a much
better eye on him.

Speaker 4 (01:21:34):
And then I'm always always putting on the light up
caller so I can see where he's at.

Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
And then we did get him.

Speaker 1 (01:21:39):
Not always an air tag. Well that was before, right,
And you have an air tag now and we have
an air.

Speaker 2 (01:21:44):
Tag on him, and you're doing all everything we need
to do, you.

Speaker 1 (01:21:49):
Know, less your heart, you and that dog. No, I'm
so sorry, buddy. I mean these Franklin now and Kevin
because they're on up there.

Speaker 2 (01:21:59):
Right, Yeah, they're old, they're real.

Speaker 4 (01:22:02):
I do I do have I think some security cam
footage of me wrestling Franklin in somebody's yard.

Speaker 1 (01:22:07):
Quick, I want to see. Yeah it does.

Speaker 2 (01:22:12):
Yeah, got it to me quick.

Speaker 5 (01:22:14):
Rodents of unusual size.

Speaker 7 (01:22:16):
I don't think they exists.

Speaker 1 (01:22:23):
The Princess Bride.

Speaker 2 (01:22:25):
He's built like an R O U S.

Speaker 1 (01:22:27):
I can't please tell me, somebody somewhere, please, in your
neighborhood has got some sort of ring footage something of
you wrestling Franklin back into that out there.

Speaker 3 (01:22:38):
Or at least the van circling called a sack over
and over again at eleven o'clock at Now.

Speaker 1 (01:22:42):
I'm going to tell you something. I really believe this.
If you were pulled the recordings of the nine one
one calls in his neighborhood, I promise you they were
people contacting somebody. It might not have been nine one one.
I just been the local police or sheriff. I don't
know what your situation is saying there's this vain and
that just keeps frantically, and I think I just saw

(01:23:04):
the person in it grabs somebody and throw him in
the back of it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:06):
That's what it looked like.

Speaker 4 (01:23:07):
Oh yeah, you're so out of breath from running after him,
running around the woods and then carrying him.

Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
And I was just going, it's okay, buddy, It's okay, buddy,
It's okay, buddy. As I'm walking to the van.

Speaker 1 (01:23:19):
Yeah, and I know, was he looking back at you did?
Was he saying anything or just had his head hanging
You got to give up? Are you still trying to
connect with this dog that refuses to connect to you?
He was running away from him.

Speaker 2 (01:23:31):
It's over.

Speaker 1 (01:23:32):
He don't like you're just waiting. You're waiting on his
earthly death. That's your only hope.

Speaker 4 (01:23:37):
I got him back inside, got into the house and
it was just like, hey, hey, Aaron, and I just
took a quiet shower. You know, when you're just in
a shower and the waters is running down, you're just
thinking about your life. And then I just got in
bed and went to sleep, and then uh, and then
I was just real thankful in church the next morning.

Speaker 1 (01:23:56):
So when you're when.

Speaker 3 (01:23:58):
You're watching Franklin, he doesn't run away, right if you
watch him, If you watch him, but if you go inside,
he's out.

Speaker 1 (01:24:06):
He's done. Well.

Speaker 4 (01:24:08):
No, no, he's never run away before except in a storm,
running away a lot now and now he's getting Freedom's
n that's that bad.

Speaker 1 (01:24:16):
Got taste for blood, you know how when an angry
step kid just finally says enough, that's where you are. Yeah,
it did. Yeah, and I thought I heard some murmurs
from you, speedy.

Speaker 3 (01:24:26):
Oh well, I don't have anything to I'm my mind
just frustration, which most animal owners, dog owners have frustration
with their their dogs, if they're just being honest. Now,
I've got three that's crazy. I've got one that's.

Speaker 1 (01:24:41):
Just a freak.

Speaker 3 (01:24:42):
He's just weird and crazy, and he's like the squirrel
on ice age. He's always nervous about something and going crazy.
I got one that I call Biden because he's losing
his mind a little oh wow, okay, and then I
got cut He's just a ninety pound baby. And so
it's like I have a ninety pound baby just in
the house, you know. And it's just frustrating because it's

(01:25:06):
just the last two nights interruption with sleep. I got barking,
I've got I got Biden who's bumping into walls and stuff.
It's just there's no storm, there's no rhyme or reason.
And I am done. I am put out, and I
don't know what to do about it. Terry's even throwing
her hands. So it's not like I've got I don't
pulling again? Is she getting on page on the same

(01:25:28):
Oh oh yeah. But there's nothing we can do about it.

Speaker 5 (01:25:30):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:25:30):
That's the only way I was freed is that my
wife basically felt the same way I did, which is
your only hope. By the way, so once the kids
were gone, you know, because most our pets were always
just for our kids, you know, not, I just don't.
I don't want. I mean, I know that they can
be fun, and I loved having pets when I was
a kid a lot. But I'm not a kid anymore,

(01:25:52):
and I have a lot of responsibilities and a lot
of things I'd rather do than clean up after animals,
have to look to have to look after animals. You
remember the moment when we tried to keep our last
argument after the kids were gone, and it was just
like Adlert, it was a vacation. Uh, it was raining.
I was in jim shorts, shirtless, looking at walking through

(01:26:15):
my backyard with Harold over my head because I just
woke up and I have an I have I have
an umbrella over a dog that is trying to go
to the bathroom, and I looked up as Sherry stepped
out onto the screening porch, and I said, this cannot
be my life. I can't live like this.

Speaker 7 (01:26:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:26:36):
My kids are finally grown and gone. I'm in the empty,
empty nest stage. And I can't be doing this on
my day off. I can't, Okay. And and so that
was when, well, I mean, you know, I just you
make a decision because I'm gonna be dead soon. I mean,
I don't have that much life left. Yeah, okay, And
this is and I can't devote it to this. That's

(01:26:59):
a great Yeah, So wanted to devote it to some
other things. Yeah, that's it. And you're getting there, by
the way, and and a lot of it stems from
that or you're already there, but there's nothing to do
about it. From the from the cat across the street.

Speaker 3 (01:27:11):
And you know, our neighborhood is funny because the homeowner association,
they'll send out this letter, you know, no free roaming animals,
and it's just a waste of paper, is what it is.

Speaker 1 (01:27:20):
And made that person feel important.

Speaker 3 (01:27:22):
Yeah, but we have one cat and it's a it's
a nice cat, but it knows what it's doing and
it'll kind of come to the end of our driveway
and lay there.

Speaker 1 (01:27:29):
I'm like this and just be like, you know, licking
its pop.

Speaker 3 (01:27:33):
I mean there's there's polls and and and just teasing
the dogs and they're going crazy barking, get to it.
And then she just kind of stumbles off and just
kind of stretch down the road, looks behind her, waves
a little little like haha, you can't come get me,
and it's driving Cuddy crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:27:50):

We've got one to got some mental problem? Yeah, yeah, ye,
you are just crazy. I don't know who we're going
to think of that. It would just be like he's
just so always, so nervous, got to be in the

(01:28:15):
middle of everything. He literally whined to go outside. You
open the door to go outside. He puts one pall
on the outside, turns around and starts whining.

Speaker 1 (01:28:24):
To come back in. Oh wow.

Speaker 3 (01:28:25):
Yeah, it's just there's no rhyme or reason. But we're
we're we're at the crossroads. We something has got to happen,
and Terry's in, She's in, but I don't know, there's
we can't pull a Burgess.

Speaker 1 (01:28:35):
And you know why not? I made it. There's a
woman who has my last dog now dog and dogs,
the dogs, having the best life he's ever had, you know,
since the kids were home, and and she loves him unconditionally.
Well where around back guy on this? I mean, and
I paid to keep him healthy. Yeah, no telling how
much money all y'all will get raised if you get

(01:28:57):
rid of these animals, okay. And and because they just
they suck money like there's no tomorrow, yes and time. Yeah.
And I need to hear from you Adler that your
kids like Franklin.

Speaker 2 (01:29:11):
They're fine with it. Yeah, I mean the kids like
the help. The kids like that.

Speaker 1 (01:29:15):
I'm just helping you man. I'm not trying to give
you something to make.

Speaker 2 (01:29:17):
It, but they are. They know that those dogs are
old too. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. Because Ruby Blake,
we should get a new one.

Speaker 1 (01:29:23):
I'm like, whoah, we should get a new one. Poppy
some untext nation said Rick was just the one that
was curb stamped by deer. Yes, and when he survived that,
And I knew that didn't kill him. I had to
do something. Yeah, because if he can survive that, he's
not gonna die.

Speaker 6 (01:29:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:29:39):
I'm in a unique situation. My grandkids are actually scared
of my dogs. Okay, that's awesome. They are you and
I telling them they're fine, they're not bother you. Yeah.
So you actually are putting up dogs that your grandkids
don't do them. Yeah, Lisa's on their side and that
help them. Look, they're mine again or effortless because they
just wrong both out. Yeah, but but you do have

(01:30:01):
to should they tell you, Roger, But anytime FedEx or
whoever pulls up, I gotta go deal with them because
they go out there start biting the tires. Can I
remind you your send Yours are low maintenance and there's
close it is it that parts, But I want to
remind you you have to get your mail somewhere else.
I'm gonna remind Yeah, that's true. Yeah, so that is
an issueck is that won't fit in the mailbox. They
take it to Chandler's house and we go get it there.

Speaker 6 (01:30:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:30:23):
And I don't think they're that scary. They make noise
and carry on a little bit, but nobody knows. You
can't know what the dog's going to do for you.
It's not your dog, right.

Speaker 3 (01:30:32):
Even though Leo's a male, I'm gonna call him AOC.
So I have AOC Biden and a ninety pound baby. Yeah,
and you might have it worse. You took a dog
in that was pregnant, okay, took care of her puppies
and she hates you.

Speaker 1 (01:30:44):
Yeah, I can't stand me. Yeah, you might have from me. Yeah. Oh, Greg,
here it is a heartwarming store for you. We're gonna
love this one. Greg, raise your hand if you want
to brask you to be good again. My hand is up.
It's been a while. Yeah, I did college football. If

(01:31:05):
we could just get them good again, they would benefit.

Speaker 6 (01:31:08):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:31:08):
I'm not sure what this is telling us today. Gray,
are you familiar with Nebraska freshmen now, I'm just gonna
tell you, and I don't think this phrase can be used.
I know they're important, especially on field position. I got it,
and field position is crucial in football, But I don't
know about calling any punter a superstar. Yeah, and punter

(01:31:29):
that nobody's heard about superstar freshman freshman punter superstar. They're
saying that because of his ability. He can kick either
star means he's very success. He can kick with either foot,
he can throw and run. But you know what else, Gregg,
he's a bit of well, all, well, really, well, what
advantage and I may not know it gives. Why do

(01:31:49):
you have an advantage if you can kick with both
feet as opposed to being a kick really good with
one foot. Well, he talks about it. In one of
the videos.

Speaker 3 (01:31:56):
He basically hurt his right ankle I think at one point,
and while he was down, he's like, well I can
you I can learn to kick.

Speaker 1 (01:32:04):
With my others we speak of Australian Greg Archie Wilson.
Now you know that's the thing. We got Australian punters
all over the league. Now, just just him talking about
this is him. This is him telling us how he
learned to kick with both feet and then after they
kicked with both feet, got one. He likes, just settled that.

Speaker 3 (01:32:22):
Yeah, just calm down, buddy. A reporter asked a question
following this, uh G, this back and forth here Archie.

Speaker 6 (01:32:29):
Will Growing up, I always practiced it and using my
right foot to make sure I had it just in case.
And then three or so years ago I had just
an ankleinge on my left foot, nothing major, don't get concerned.

Speaker 2 (01:32:43):
And I was like, I can run, I can jump,
but I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:32:47):
Kick on my left foot.

Speaker 6 (01:32:47):
For a couple of weeks, I was like, okay, I
can kick on my right And then I already had
a good base set up and I was like, I mean,
I may as well use this chance to really develop
it and make it something that's actually and out, not
just something I can get by with. And then at
Pro Kick one day, a coach just randomly said to me, hey, Archie,

(01:33:08):
can you do a kick on your right foot? And
I was thinking, that's what's the point of that? I mean,
as long as the ball goes far and high does
it matter? And then I kind of learned the ins
and outs as to why it can be useful and
I nailed those two the two that he asked to see,
and that made a good impression. And then it's been
practicing it ever since then, using it in the system.

Speaker 1 (01:33:26):
Okay, so that was interesting, But Greg, but what happens
in next what do you mean? You guess if he
kicked either way different coverages, I had an injured foot
kick with the other I guess that would be an advantage.
All right, But let me tell you why the nation
is caring about Archie today has nothing to do with
him kicking left and right. It has to do with
the fact that he came here from Australia, from from Australia,

(01:33:48):
from Australian rules football.

Speaker 2 (01:33:50):
When he said I can kick with my right it
sounded like that's not a knife.

Speaker 1 (01:33:54):
Yeah, it really did. Thanks, thank you, buddy. But you know,
his family, Greg is a long way from Yeah, that's
that's Gray is the only out there, traveled at eighteen
to come up. He gets emotional when asked about his
family and him coming here and leaving them behind. Greg
don't know I'm talking about ugly face cry. Did you
see Gregg's first reaction? Yeah, yeah, I heard it, all right,

(01:34:14):
So here we go.

Speaker 4 (01:34:15):
He's crying about the Nebraska kicker, cries about his family.

Speaker 1 (01:34:18):
Yes, and the nations and the nation has just falling
in over the Archie. Before this house of his emotion.

Speaker 3 (01:34:23):
Before this happens, there's a back and forth about him
I think either just turning nineteen or about two, and
it's and it says, was that hard to do?

Speaker 1 (01:34:31):
You leave him?

Speaker 3 (01:34:32):
By?

Speaker 7 (01:34:32):
It behind?

Speaker 3 (01:34:32):
Your family, and then so he was called off guard
with that question, and then then we get ugly facts here.

Speaker 1 (01:34:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:34:41):
I loved it a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:34:47):
Yeah I have.

Speaker 6 (01:34:47):
I got three little brothers and my mom and Dattnight. Yeah,
that's the tough part of that being hit. I love
them a lot and I missed them. But it's uh,
I mean, they know this is what's best for me,
and it's got. I can still talk to them plenty
of the phone and that coming here to say the
first first few games. So I'm looking forward to that.

Speaker 2 (01:35:08):
Thanks guys, great man you Greg.

Speaker 1 (01:35:11):
Wait, somebody capture him, bring him here correctly. Don't do
this right, don't don't do this?

Speaker 7 (01:35:17):
Look credit, what is he all?

Speaker 1 (01:35:19):
Fight in the war. He's kicking the football with both feet.
He wants to go home. He can go home. Nobody
made him come here. I'm just fine. I'm not saying
that upset about it. Stay home.

Speaker 2 (01:35:29):
I'm not here right now.

Speaker 1 (01:35:30):
Play Australian rules football. Greg. They got that. I know
you know what I'm saying. I mean, I get going out,
miss home and all that. But he act like he'd
been captured and sent over on the ship. They won't
let him out.

Speaker 2 (01:35:43):
I found the moment where he because what we saw
he was already broken.

Speaker 1 (01:35:46):
Yeah. Yeah, you see the moment when they asked him
the question. I had music up under it, so I like, sure,
go for it. Being the first time you're away from them. Okay,
this is good.

Speaker 2 (01:35:56):
Yeah, that pot's hard.

Speaker 10 (01:35:57):
I mean, okay, stop there, I'm sorry, Okay, Greg, good, Okay,
I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (01:36:12):
Yeah, lady. Coming in the first couple of games, it's
gonna be all right.

Speaker 2 (01:36:20):
He broke the season kicks.

Speaker 1 (01:36:22):
Off two weaks.

Speaker 6 (01:36:23):
Greg.

Speaker 1 (01:36:24):
You know, I think they played Arrowhead against Cincinnati. I
bet those people that are overseas are upset there with
their family either. But I mean, you're so you're saying
it's not like he went off tow He can go
home anything he wants to. Okay, I didn't care. Did
you just say didn't get you just say didn't get captured.
I didn't get captured, brought over here and woke up.

(01:36:46):
He's in America now, way away from his family, all right, greb.
But America's falling in love with him. What he's superstar, right,
kicks were two feet top is trying to figure out
the advantage on that top of the hour. No good
for him save.

Speaker 2 (01:37:01):
Yeah, you really saved it.

Speaker 7 (01:37:02):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 4 (01:37:09):
Here we go.

Speaker 6 (01:37:12):
And he.

Speaker 1 (01:37:14):
We are, thank you for a brand new hour on
a brand new show, on a brand new day. I
missed any part of the show today, go back and
grab it on the Daily Archives. It's always there for you.
The gang here, Speedy, Greg and Adler, and we're excited
to spend some more time with you guys as we
go forward. You just now joined us. Welcome. We're glad

(01:37:36):
you're here. All right, So some things to do this hour. Now,
this story it was out there. We didn't cover it.
I saw some Minnesota Viking fans, which you know, Bubba,
you know it was a huge Vikings fan. He always
kept us updated on the Vikings and we watched his
frustration with his team.

Speaker 6 (01:37:57):
But he.

Speaker 1 (01:38:00):
Carently we now have And now when we talk about
the professional leagues, let's all be honest. The word cheerleader
were more dance. Yeah, we're using that word, yeah incorrectly.
These are not cheerleaders. They're not doing stunts and they're
they're more like a dance they're dancers. Yeah, like you

(01:38:21):
have the dance lines that you have cheerleaders. Yeah, it's
and it's more like that dance is not even the
one with the marching band. It's the one that comes
out at halftime at the basketball game. Yes, you know
it's that kind of dance team. That's true, that Joe
whatever you call that. Uh, you know some people would
call it go go dancing a little bit at some points,
something like that and uh, but with you know, somewhat clothed.

(01:38:44):
So anyway, Yeah, you have your dance team and your
cheerleaders what I'm saying, different squads. Yeah, when you when
you take a look at the professional cheerleader dancers whatever
you call it. I know they call them cheerleaders, but
we've made the point they really aren't. You This is
been something that we all agree. It's I think it's
perfectly okay with that presentation. Uh, let's let's stay females

(01:39:08):
females only. Okay. Now, when you go to college cheerleading,
you know, male cheerleaders there have been around for a
long time. They're they're they're they're mostly masculine. They were appropriate.
Hold them, they're not they're not wearing what the girls
have on. They're doing touch and the other all that,
you know, and that the Yale leaders at am. That's

(01:39:31):
all been around these schools originally. I think they were
all it's a different thing, different thing. This is not
the same thing. And Minnesota Viking fans are not happy
because they claim they're being made a laughing stock in
the NFL because they have added front and center a
gay male cheerleader. Uh and and it is look at

(01:39:54):
the kids behind her.

Speaker 6 (01:39:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:39:56):
This promo video released by the Vikings has the Vikings
cheer leaders. Like you said, Rick, he is front and center,
a bunch of kids behind him, and uh he kicks
it off with the back flip.

Speaker 2 (01:40:06):
And uh and here we go and we're off to
the races.

Speaker 1 (01:40:10):
Greg Greg Greg No and no and no no no.
And of all mascots, the Vikings, of all mascots. You know,
it's now I want to know because you know, sometimes

(01:40:30):
you make, you make trouble for yourself unnecessarily, and then
there's time you're you're someone's brought the trouble to you.
Was there some sort of they're trying to guys that
we got this dude and he wants to be a cheerleader.
If we deny, if he's gonna go out and do
something protest. But what I'm saying, is were they even
in that situation? Or to Greg's point, are they just
trying to be sharp? I don't mean just one too.

(01:40:52):
I think it's too Really they're saying, if if you
can do that, what they are required to do? I saw, real,
what was the other day with both of them dancing?
Did you really? Did you really? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:41:06):
And evidently okay, so you're right SPEEDI there's two on
the Vikings, and there's actually eleven other teams. There's eleven
other teams in the league with male cheerleaders NFL teams,
eleven other teams.

Speaker 1 (01:41:18):
Really, see, I just don't well, there you go. They
said they've already had to wrestle the horn away from twice. Lord.

(01:41:42):
That may not be true. Yeah, that's just a rum.

Speaker 2 (01:41:45):
So eleven other NFL teams, guys, I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (01:41:49):
Well then, why why is this so? Why is it
such a big story? I mean, I don't care for it,
but they're acting like the Viking fans have had a
stronger reaction. I even saw one s rore where they
said people were canceling their season tickets. That might be
because I do I don't know, I do some other
teams over the past few years that I've had them.

Speaker 3 (01:42:09):
But you know, let's just go let's just say you're
you know, because the dance squad of the cheerleaders whatever,
you know, they're normally split up and both have you know,
and they switch, but like one squad has one end
of the field and then the other, and then the
like at halftime they'll switch. Okay, let's say that you've
you know, you got tickets and you're there on the

(01:42:30):
second row and that's just right there in front.

Speaker 1 (01:42:32):
Of you the entire game. Can you not do anything
now not being thrown in your freaking face? Mac, you
know why? And he worked with the Titans. You knew
how this operated. Well that and and U A B
football the style I mean but one time professional football,
you've been there in the world. Yes, it's just it's frustrating.

(01:42:54):
It is, I mean, think about it. It's just freaking up.
I just want to punch the wall. Okay, you have
to be I mean, hey, River, let's go sit down here,
get in my lap. Dad, Why is that guy doing that?
I finally found it each pictures with his grandson. Yeah,
that's what's upsetting that. And can we not let women
do anything by them, say right, thank you? I mean,

(01:43:16):
can we not just let the win? There's two spots
that got taken.

Speaker 4 (01:43:20):
Yeah, yeah, the Vikings, Ravens, Rams, Eagles, Saints, forty nine Ers, Patriots, Titans,
Speedy Colts, Chiefs, Bucket. We knew the forty nine ers
had them and the Panthers, and we knew the forty
nine ers had.

Speaker 1 (01:43:33):
Yeah, that was a given, right, Yeah, sos In, I
sent this video to Bubba. No, yeah, you know, I mean,
but you know what I mean. I'm not trying to
be it's just can we not just right? Hey, you
know what, we got a buddet and take that from
him to get out of the way, sister, you know, right,

(01:43:54):
just go and let it out. Just be honest.

Speaker 3 (01:43:57):
He was better than I mean, you can't go anywhere
do anything. It's like it's got to be forced. And
I'm watching a movie. It doesn' have been fit, it does'
have been fit the narrative, and you got to throw
that in there, write it out.

Speaker 1 (01:44:09):
Hell now I'm fast forwarding through. That had nothing with
the story. You mean, an agenda, check in a box. Yeah,
and then that's like you said, it's always awkwardly forced
in like it's it doesn't It doesn't even.

Speaker 3 (01:44:21):
And I'm and I'm saying this too, I mean on anything,
any any scenes, something, most they don't even it's not
even necessary.

Speaker 4 (01:44:30):
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:44:30):
Careful.

Speaker 3 (01:44:31):
I mean, you know, while we're doing that, throwing your
butt out, looking at me like that, Oh my god,
looking at him like that.

Speaker 2 (01:44:40):
Hey, don't look at it. Number one, don't throw everybody
out of that. Number two, don't look at me like that.

Speaker 1 (01:44:44):
You know why you're doing it. Yes, again, that's a
little more all right, I'm going okay, I'm you just mad.

Speaker 2 (01:44:54):
Who do they think they're winning over there?

Speaker 1 (01:44:57):
I don't understand. They're trying to appease the group of
people while upsetting. It's that what we've said on a
thousand times. It is an agenda that's playing to a
fake world while upsetting the real world. And the real
world is much larger. And you really just don't have
to go there. Don't you have to make a statement
on it one way or other. Just don't do it,

(01:45:20):
all right? Yeah, man, I guess you got picked where
your seat? Now you sit?

Speaker 6 (01:45:24):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:45:25):
Oh yeah, now you have that thrown on your face.

Speaker 2 (01:45:32):
Greg said he was a good dancer though that is great,
probably one of the better ones.

Speaker 1 (01:45:35):
I guess somebody just brought up the calendar. That's great. Uh.
We continue with unscreened phone calls. Hello, you're on the
Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 8 (01:45:49):
Go ahead, Yeah, this is mama. I don't know if
y'all remember.

Speaker 1 (01:45:54):
What's up?

Speaker 8 (01:45:56):
Okay, Well, I got two things. First of all, this
is for Greg. I like your new haircut. I think
it looks very nice on you.

Speaker 1 (01:46:05):
Thank you very much. If you had your well, if
you had Boomont in your neighborhood, you must have liked
his haircut. That's what Greg's got.

Speaker 8 (01:46:13):
Well, I got a forty four year old son, and
he would love to have as much hair as.

Speaker 1 (01:46:17):
Greg must be struggling, because I'm barely hanging in there.

Speaker 8 (01:46:22):
He's not far from steady. Blessing start. The second thing
is this double day words getting carried you know.

Speaker 1 (01:46:31):
You know what I'm talking about, getting a little carried,
getting carried away with You're part of the problem.

Speaker 8 (01:46:36):
I don't forget you know, I don't you have I'm
not gonna say double I'm not gonna say double day
word anymore from now and I'm just gonna say, don't.

Speaker 1 (01:46:51):
You got a lot.
