that they're listed meaningless. Yeah, and we'll just grab them

then there'll be people we don't have on the list
that we'll be on and that end up you know
those are. And then there'll be people that are late,
and so they'll join another person that's on time, and

(08:48):
we'll just have multiple, multiple guests. And so let me tell.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
You real quick, that's what my blood pressure goes with.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Yeah, I know, I know, and then which makes mine
And uh so I'm texting with Sean Hannity's producer back
and forth a lot, and I'm texting with Senator coach
Tommy Tuberville's hammer a lot. Well, well, well, here here
come the yeah I did. Here come all the text
messages back and forth about you know, men don't run
in the rain and and your book tour speaking and

(09:15):
interviews and that's all real and and I'm finalizing you
being on Hannity, and then coach Tuberville, Senator Tuberville talking
to them about him being here, and then when he
can be on. So I'm going back and forth with him. Okay,
well I get I get the deal here. Well, now
now that it's public, he's in the Middle East. Uh,

(09:36):
and he'll be there for about a week. So let's
reconnect on the nineteenth and then we can finalize some things.
And I'm thinking, Okay, so Tuberville's in the Middle East.
I didn't know that. And and so I'm like, so
I tell you he's in Hey, Tuberville's in the Middle
East and he's he's doing some stuff. I don't know
what's going on, but he might not even be at
the tournament. Did I tell you that? Yes? You did?

Speaker 2 (09:58):
I heard that? Hey, right, It wasn't.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
It wasn't until yesterday that I realized that that was
Sean Hannity's producer telling me he got mixed up that
Sean Hannity was in the Middle East. Not And if
you watched Hannity last night, he actually interviewed the President
on Air Force one and and his in his life
in the Middle East doing his show, right, from from
on the President's Middle East tour.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Did you have Tuborvillo on?

Speaker 4 (10:22):
No, he didn't because Tumberville's here, and and and and
so it wasn't till yesterday that Tuberville's handler said, so
he's good to go. Yeah, he'll be on time. And
I'm thinking, wow, that changed. And then I started looking
back and I'm like, oh, crap, you talked about it.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
I know.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
I told y'all he's so choler he's not in the
Middle East. He's gonna teae you off.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
And he's gonna be with with us today to announce
he's running for governor.

Speaker 4 (10:46):
Oh boy, that's gonna be uncomfortable. I'm gonna sit over
there when you talk to him.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Okay, we'll be right back live from Bresdale.

Speaker 8 (10:52):
This is the Rick Burchase Show.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
So we're back. We are live from beautiful Graystone, still
waiting on the sun to come up. And Uh, let
me tell you something, it is going to be a
beautiful day uh in Sweet Home, Alabama today. Uh, the
gang's all here. I'm Speedy, Greg Adler and even hey, hey, Robert,
we got Gary and Speedy your sons are here. I mean,

(11:33):
we've got we got Tyler, we got j C. You
told me this. I didn't I didn't remember this, but
you told me that j C had never been here before.
And so he, uh, he let me know that. He
walked up me and started looking around, going, hey, this
is a nice place, and it dawned to me he
said all this for the first time.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
Yeah, in that in that crazy he's normally off playing
or doing something with school, and it just never worked
out luckily, Tyler. You know, it's it's funny because they've
separated by around five years, so Tyler was old enough
to experience some cool things before JC and Reese could.
And uh, and I hear about that a lot, like
going to Texas and Hume with with Ultru and the

(12:12):
and the Titans, absolutely different things. And and Tyler has
caddied for me like probably four times at least. Uh
and uh and so I hear about that lot. So
today it just it just so happened that two of
the three could be here. Now Reese has given it
to us because he's going into work today going, hey,
have fun, have fun.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Well, you know it's part of Hey, Robert sou So anyway,
we're gonna we're gonna work through quite a few things.
And I'm learning because you know, this is my first year. Yeah,
to be part of this hour when they're still using
leaf blowers. Oh yeah, all this all that's gonna be.
In the background. There's an overwhelming smell of gasoline, yes sir,
from the weed eaters and the blowers, a little bit

(12:51):
of left over poland left. None of the coolers are open. Yep,
you know, breakfast isn't ready. The early crew. See this
is all new for me. Uh, headsets are not dialed
in yet. You sound check the whole time. That's right,
So we're getting all that in so a checking test.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
And I'm gonna try not to be loud on the show,
but the show usually features us being loud.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Yeah, yeah, I think we'll dial it in right and
use this hour to do that and.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
We'll get all we'll get all that dialed in. Tom
will give us a good report here and man, we've
got a bad report and the break Sorry, sorry that
it sounded so poorly, and you know, and but you know,
the this is the sound check, it is. This hour
is the sound check it is. So we'll get it
all dialed in by the time regular people are moving
you know, and like us that who who live in
in a world that's that's a little bit different that

(13:39):
are up at this time of day. Of course, you know,
if you're an Archive listener, that was your first hour
in your first segment, you know, and you were fired up.
You know this what a lot of folks love about
YAH shows is they like chaos. Well, let me tell
you we're gonna get all the chaos you can stand.
I'm looking at the lineup today. Uh you know, I'm
I'm you know, we've already had one little uncomfortable thing
that Gary wanted us to get one of his buddies

(14:01):
down in Chilton County get his hat signed by Savement.
So yeah, we already had that discomfort. First segment, we
sounded bad equipment, right, so we had to die all
that back. Gary randomly shouted to an old classmate from
Clinton High School as he walked by right in the
middle of the segment. Right, so, uh, you.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
Know, so we're we're so we're off and running. I
mean we were we are off and running.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Some of the things that people have been emailing me about, uh,
one of them is this thing with with me and
Kaylin de boor coach at University of Alabama.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
Yeah, you talking about what you did to him last year?

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah, I mean I'm gonna check in on his role
Tide again this year. Well, well, but he probably wants
to talk about something else but.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
That he is.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
But I want to say, you're you're welcome. I don't know,
you know, they I noticed that, you know, because because
they said every everything changed after that. As far as
the way he handled you know, his role Tide, you're
taking credit for that was his role Tide very good.
The first one he threw out, No, okay, is it
better now?

Speaker 4 (14:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (14:59):
I think it's a little Yeah. I haven't heard him
say it.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yeah, So we'll see. Maybe at the interview interviews at
the end of him they always say, you know, yeah,
something like that.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, retired Sabing is always you know, he he was
much lighter last year. Is he even lighter this year?

Speaker 3 (15:12):
He was?

Speaker 2 (15:13):
And it sounds like some of the problems with college football,
he's now going to be able to get in there
and mix it up. Yeah, you know, so you know
I talk about that.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
Well, you know, one thing you could talk to him
about is is the Trump administration and bringing him in
on the n I l.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yes, what I'm talking about. I mean he's going to
get to make a difference, yeah, and getting there and
mess with that. So we got that coming up. Who
knows what Barklayll do. We don't even know if barkl
will even comes right. Well, yeah, so they claim this
year he's gonna wake up.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Uh And then I look Hugh Freeze. You know, he
said he's got some things going on. He is Do
I bring up the prostate thing?

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Well? He just maybe Hey, you know, uh, is he
going with some things? You're on the back and everything? Okay,
how does that work?

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Right? Maybe don't use back in. I don't think I'll
use back in. Side of Kirby Smart. Yeah, he's always
playing with Sankeie. You could have fun with him. He's
always intense. But oh, Jackson is pretty much going to
sit down on the show whenever he wants to, no
matter when. He's gonna mess with his mic and you
can't say the word about it now. He's always really
noisy with his MIC and I just let it go.
He's the world's grace athlete, that's right. So so we

(16:11):
got Trenton del for coming up.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
Yes, yes, and be good to see him, so then
he have surgery on his having that on his next.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
And he just generally tries to get everybody fired up
and then if this happens. And sometimes, you know, I
don't get my hopes up too much on the music
people because sometimes the music people will be on schedule
and then they just won't get here right, you know.
So I'm I feel pretty good about Riley Green getting there.
Jamie Johnson, I'm afraid to get excited because Jamie Johnson,

(16:39):
I've always wanted to talk to him, and you know,
and he and Andy Blanks are are closer friends than
you think. It's it's it's it's a weird yeah, it's
he he he and he and Andy Blanks are actually
like they're they're actually friends, I mean, did grow up. Yeah,
I don't know, so it's on him.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
That's a he's kind of like Garan Robert Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
It's it's like when he comes by, he'll holler out hey,
damn yeah, you know. So I don't know, but.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
I know there's a couple of things that you know,
internally here that I'd love to discuss. A I put
Terry to work last night at the pairings party. We
were up here last night, and I understand Greg went
to a concert. Yeah, Greg, Greg, Greg has just gotten
back from a concert. Like a few minutes right, man
with a backpack blower is walking by. I don't think
that you're free part of it. It's just part of it.
Real They getting ready for a time. It's okay, it's

(17:31):
not the microphone. It's just they're just getting ready for
the tournament. He couldn't care less about us, and don't know,
you know where on the air.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
No, you know, if I asked him about that blower,
he tell me what to do with Yeah, oh yeah,
I bet you could win twenty bucks. So okay, all right,
so so yeah, you're right. So so we'll come back
and we'll discuss that. I saw the pictures that I
didn't realize you actually were part of the pairings party.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
Well, we've done that the last couple of years. That's
kind and it's a it's a quick in and out.
But but before we leave, we always walk around here
to the to the Coca Cola patio area where we're
going to broadcast from last last time, I think there
was some weather coming in so they couldn't set up
until the morning of But last night the tent was
already up, and I started texting with Adler about maybe

(18:16):
moving it to the way it is now from the
way they had it. And it took moving everything and
and uh, Terry was in I high hills and address.

Speaker 2 (18:25):

Everybody's into breakfast, which, by the way, let me give

(19:40):
you all of you a number one of the breakfast
as always here at Graystone Golfing country Club. Fantastic. So
we have a lot to do going forward. I do
want to point this out, and every time I bring
this up, I realize that I'm being a bit of
a Debbie downer, and that's when and that's when I'm
talking about taxes. So so I got to talk about it.

(20:02):
US tax Shield. They've teamed up with the Rick Burgess
Show and they want to help you. Now, if you
owe Gary ten thousand or more in back taxes, or
you have unfiled tax returns, take back control and start
driving the bus rather than maybe running from it or
being drug behind it. Okay, So here's the deal. The

(20:23):
IRS is the largest and most aggressive collection agency in
the world. They can and they will seize your bank accounts,
they'll garnish your paycheck, they'll close your business and they'll
file criminal charges. So the US tax Shield Team will
help alleviate some of these problems. Now, I don't know

(20:45):
if y'all know this. They do, I didn't know about it.
The Fresh Start program, there's new laws that may allow
them to negotiate a settlement on your behalf that can
get this over with. So why don't you call them?
Here's the number, one eight hundred seven six nine seven
three four. Oh, they are a plus rated by the

(21:05):
Better Business Bureau. That's one eight hundred seven six nine
seven three four zero. Or if you just want to
go to Rick burgesshow dot com under the sponsors, you
can go there and find that number as well and
put them to work and be done with this. So
a lot to cover on the program today. We announced
yesterday Men Don't Run in the Rain. The new book

(21:25):
is out great response yesterday. As Speedy said, be paying attention.
There'll be a lot tied to that, a lot of podcasts,
a lot of being honored to be guests on Hannity
and Glenn Beck.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
Am I Glenn back this Friday? Or is this Friday? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Okay, So I'm on with Glenn this Friday, and then
I'm doing a podcast tomorrow, Adler and I will be
getting together. Adler and I have been talking about Wow,
the response to the new podcast, Strange Encounters has been substantial.
In episode two coming out this week weekend. Adler and
I'll be trying to get that done tomorrow, and Wow,

(22:03):
the show tomorrow's got some interesting stuff that you don't
want to miss. So so anyway, that's we got a
lot going on as a team. And so I want
to thank you, Speedy and and apparently your wife for
all your hard work and and you and super time
and to get to make these on location shows happen.
So so you you have moved our tent and you

(22:26):
got your wife involved with that. Yesterday. Yeah, it's always
the night before.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
Uh. The Celebrity program, they have what they call a
parings party, and that's where they they they just make
this amazing food and they have different tables that have
like seafood over here, they got steak here, and it's
just it's they they really go above and did you
act up on the dessert table they.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Had blueberry cheesecake. He's a bit of a healthy person,
but sweets take Speedy.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
Yeah, they just do with him whatever they want I
black out, but Terry kept me at bay because she said, hey,
you got a long day tomorrow, you're gonna struggle. But
they had small portions, so she said that that's good
because it's like they protect you from yourself, you know.
And this is when we were told, you know, when
everybody is teeing off and stuff like that, because we

(23:19):
need to know to promote it. But at the pairings
party for the rest of the crews playing, that's where
they find out who they're playing with and what time
they tee off. So the parings party is a big
announcement of that long so we already know what they
don't right exactly, like so and so you're playing at
this time with so and so and all this kind
of stuff. So then everybody leaves and goes home, and
they might tee off in the morning or in the afternoon,

(23:41):
you don't know. Well, that is on the other side
of where we are, on the other side of the
clubhouse where eighteen comes in, overlooking the eighteenth Green and
in the you know, in the past, I've walked around
here just to look at the porch. And some years,
like I said, it's been raining and they couldn't put
anything up. But this year they had the tent, but
they had it where we told him they did the
right thing, but it was totally opposite of where it

(24:03):
is now. And after talking to Adler yesterday, who has
the the TV background and and what the back shot
would look look like, he said, buddy, if it would
really look bad, I know, the sun comes up and
it's y'all gonna be baking in it. But it's gonna
really look better if you just if you just go
ahead and move it. And so we did, and so

(24:23):
Terry and high heels and address moved it. As a canine,
it goes ahead and release himself. There, that's what point.
Get back.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Adler was trying to bring my attention so I can
watch a dog poop.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
I looked up. I thought, well, bo Jackson's walking up
the way he's acting, and Adler wants me to see
a dog poop. Yeah, yeah, that's it. I would have
been fine with missing that. I looked up. Thing was
bowed up.

Speaker 4 (24:46):
Yeah, point you kidd he had that look that it
had to look. And it's been putting in the garbage
and now the garbage can is gonna smell like no.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Uh, but you know what.

Speaker 4 (24:59):
It was kind of funny, uh last night that breakfast
Yeah anyway, yeah, yeah, and and and look right now
before the sun gets up over that hit mountain, mountain, mountain. Uh,
it's gonna be good. But it does good today.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
I think it's a bat like like Adler said, now,
it looks like we're at a golf Of course, Terry
didn't know she'd be dressed up for a farings party
and moving tents from no, pulling tables and moving tents
and dragon chairs and but that's just what the wives
do of the show. They jump in to get it
whatever it takes, whatever. Its so beautiful setup today, and
we thank Coca Cola for the premot spot.

Speaker 4 (25:31):
And yes, I saw Scott Smith with Coca Cola yesterday
and told him that his crew was doing a great
job and because they were helping hosts, because it's the
region's tradition brought to you by Coca Cola, and so
they played a big part of him and Mike Suco
and everybody last night of making sure everything was.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah, you know Scott, and they're they're teaming up with
the show, and so thankful for them to be part
of what we're doing too.

Speaker 4 (25:52):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
They've been great partners in the past and and and
continuing to be partners with us. And you know, it
was interesting. I even speaking of strange count did you
know the Scott Smith text me? He says, Wow, I
watched the strange stranging counters. I'm all in, okay, I
know that.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
So so speaking of strange encounters, Gary, that cane is
sniffing your bag, buddy, what's in your bag?

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Gary Turkey? Get this up right there, let's speak.

Speaker 5 (26:21):
In Well, I didn't want to y'all to hear me,
that's baking right.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Well, I watched I wanted Greg, Greg, Greg. I watched
Gary's face, you know, when the dog hammered down, right,
and then watching Gary's face go down you know link
saucers just not nervus after the slide. That out of
the way. I don't want to. I can keep eating.
It doesn't look like eggs, you know. So so anyway,

(26:45):
so that that's but But so I'm on the phone.
I'm in the truck with Greg yesterday and we have
a whole update on Mom's car. So I was in
the truck with Greg yesterday and I forgot about it.
By the way, Greg completely forgot about it. So Greg's
son calls Taylor, who had his birthday yesterday thirty four
years before, and all of a sudden, I completely forgot.

(27:05):
And they're going back and forth on their plans for
the day. Okay, because said Ellis, Greg's grandson, Taylor's son
had a game that wasn't gonna get rained out or not.
We were trying to get mom's cars. Saw I can't
wait for that up and we got that update, and
all of a sudden, I hear Taylor say to his dad, Okay, now,
of course we're going to the concert either way, And
I thought what I'd completely forgotten about it. Greg Burgess

(27:28):
went to the arena the bad time with a show
on the road, which means you were up earlier than normal,
up earlier than normal, and you went to see Shine Down. Yeah,
it's really Oh my goodness, are you forget Bartooth opened up.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
There years ago? You know when your kids are growing
up and they finally get that age where you find
actually one music that you actually agree on. That was
kind of the deal. And for some reason, over the years,
if they're close, we'll go. We've been we were trying
to count up last night probably six times maybe, and uh,
but it was a good show.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yeah, okay, So I just wanted to ask you again
you you went to you did you did the show yesterday, which,
by the way, you know the show every day for
those of you did, don't listen to it live. But
you know, we we've covered this. I know some of
you are tired tired of hearing it. Yeah, you know
some of y'all go all right, get over. We all
know y'all do the show forget stop talking about. But
it's a long day.

Speaker 4 (28:24):

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yeah, I feel like old Power Company days. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
How many cups of coffee you think you'll go through it?
Probably ten? By the way, I saw something yesterday speaking
to Power Company. When we come back, we'll talk about Greg.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
And I did get the car thing resolved yesterday, well
not resolved, but we took the next step. And uh,
it was interesting how Greg gives me a hard time.
You know, whole show you you the you you the
older brother or you doing boll He played that card
on me yesterday, did he?

Speaker 4 (29:03):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (29:03):
Yes he did.

Speaker 12 (29:04):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Suddenly it was kind of like, oh, okay he used
older brother to his manage yesterday. Well, okay, you gotta
do you know, I mean it's uh he said, Okay, Primary,
we're trying to decide who's gonna be the person this
is gonna take the wheel and not knowing where you're going, right,
one of us has got to drive this thing, and

(29:25):
one of us has got to follow. And suddenly the primary, well,
you know you're the one these responsibilities. Yeah, so so
we'll seniority.

Speaker 4 (29:33):
So we'll be back.

Speaker 8 (29:35):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
All right, we're back. The Drumming Company Celebrity program is today.

Speaker 13 (30:09):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
We're in beautiful I mean Graystone Golf and Country Club.
We're sitting out here overlooking the beautiful putting green and
the driving range and uh, we're really here on the
Coca Cola patio. We're in the mix. I mean we're
right in the middle of it. Off, Breakfast is being served.
Everybody seems happy. Everybody's got coffee. Now, Uh, you know,

(30:31):
we're we're dealing with the on location equipment sounds like
we got that dialed in. Uh so, our apologies early on.
But you know, you just don't know to you you
take off and running and plus you know, when you
can go over it, it's kind of like practice. You
can go over you know all you want to, you know,
in in a room at the studio. But then when
you get here and everything's laid out, you're like, Okay,

(30:53):
some things I didn't think about, that's right, Like you know,
the meter when it was sitting right in front of me.
Now we have something called an instant replay. Yeah, well
now the meters over here and I have to kind
of lean up to see it. Yeah, it was a
new instant replay we've never had. You know, I like it, though,
I wouldn't prepared for the three sixty people to make
the newer versions so large.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
It's it's it's a large one.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
It's a big boy, a little flatter, a little wider,
So there's a lot of things to adjust to, you know.
You know, Gary threw us a little bit, you know,
right out the gate when we were trying to work
on things, when he began to say hello to old
high school classromates, randomly, Yeah, and bring a hat from
some business and yeah in Gemison for Nick Saban to sign.
So you know, I can't wait to see Gary do that. Yeah,
so Gary, if you want to, I'm gonna do.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
Why not?

Speaker 5 (31:34):
No, you just forget it?

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah it would I go back to truck and get
that hat. Yeah, I ain't it when when you were
when you did you tell this person that you would
get there?

Speaker 4 (31:45):
He wanted made us say if I could get saving
to sign it?

Speaker 5 (31:49):
And I said, man, I said, you know them folks
ain't upbird to sign stuff, right, you said.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Is that how you said it?

Speaker 4 (31:57):
I cleared it right up.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
I wish you'd just seen him, speedy. I wish you'd
have seen him. You're standing in the parking lot holding it.

Speaker 5 (32:03):
I think what I'll do. I'll just sign it kind
of like Sabing done.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 4 (32:08):
Guys, if we signed that hat for him, he wouldn't
would he know? How familiar with Nick Sabing signature is
more likely? This is why Greg won't buy any member
unless you sign it in front of him. Yeah, unless
you take your jersey off and sign it.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Yeah, So you believe that that all memorabilia is suspect
it is. I'm not saying all's fake, but potential potential there.
I don't know. I don't know if maybe I.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
Just said that what about the certificate of authenticity? They
could be ricky that that part of the game, right,
come on, part of the game.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Okay, all right, Well, so so we we do have
a lot going on today, so we we these tea times.
You feel pretty good about those.

Speaker 13 (32:50):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
I know that our winner that's going to be is
going to be with a group that's teeing off, you know.
And again when we say these, we're talking about local time, okay,
which is in Alabama. But Greg McElroy, AJ McCarron, Taylor Hicks,
Tom Laman, Yeah, will be with our highest bidder today,
that's right. Yeah, three thousand dollars donation to Children's of Alabama.

Speaker 11 (33:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
And then Speedy, you are going to be teeing off
at one forty.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
Yeah, yeah, slight adjustment and I'm gonna go off at
one forty with another group. It's gonna be a long day,
but it'll be a lot of fun and uh and uh,
I'll have some time. Unlike I mean, we went totally
opposite of what it's normally like drop the mic and run.
And then when we made the decision, hey stay here now,
I'm gonna have some time to relax, hang out my boys,
and then and then and then go off.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
For the show, it really worked out better. Yeah, because
we just made a decision. I mean, Jean's always good
and and you you could have been with any any
really Yeah, he usually puts the show with a premiere group.

Speaker 9 (33:48):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
And you'll still be having a great time today and
be part of it. And we could have done that,
but you would have had to have left the show
so early and so soon. You know, we made a decision.
The show comes first. Yeah. Yeah, and and we we
got we got it. We gotta do content. If you
don't do a good show, the rest of it don't
really matter that yeah, so so so we so we
will we will do that. Uh and speed you will

everybody wearing their staff shirts. Yeah, I see, I see
Greg Adler with dress jeans.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
And that's fine, it's all right.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
It's okay.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
You said you do slacks and clothes and you've got
dress jeans. Yeah, we'll have to break that down here.
So here, come here and.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
Let a.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Good gosh. So Soler, let's let's talk about you.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
What you were You were preparing us that you were
gonna shut up looking like Tiger Woods.

Speaker 6 (35:24):
Yeah, that would have been awesome. Actually, black pants, red shirt,
tiger red. I'm gonna do that next year. But then
I got to.

Speaker 11 (35:32):
Thinking one next year.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
One year Rick wore.

Speaker 14 (35:36):
Like Captain America's shorts.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
It was John Daly's golf thing.

Speaker 14 (35:43):
It was American flag.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Sure, and you know what I'm wearing for our.

Speaker 4 (35:46):
Big What is it?

Speaker 2 (35:48):
What is that big thing coming up? The two hundred and.

Speaker 14 (35:50):
Fifty years centenial?

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Yeah, I had an emailer listens to the show Red,
White and Blue overalls.

Speaker 14 (35:58):
Oh, it's great.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
So so you decided what well?

Speaker 14 (36:01):
And I thought Gary was gonna be sleeveless.

Speaker 6 (36:03):
And then I also got dressed in the dark this
morning and I was like, these feel like pants, I'll.

Speaker 14 (36:08):
Put those on.

Speaker 4 (36:10):
Did you think you were getting slack?

Speaker 6 (36:11):
I didn't know what I was getting. Okay, I was
so sweat shirt I was. I was so swimmy headed
last night this morning, My goodness, what happened?

Speaker 4 (36:19):
Now?

Speaker 14 (36:20):
Ruby woke me.

Speaker 6 (36:21):
Up and then you couldn't sleep, And then when it
was time to wake up, that's when I got the
most tired. And I'm like, buddy, you got to get
out of bed in ten minutes.

Speaker 4 (36:29):
I felt real bad about calling you last night a
little after dinner. Oh no, I called him. I called
him for verification of this set up. And it was
so much mania going on. Do you like I just
talked through it. Being a dad that's raised kid, I
just talked right through it.

Speaker 6 (36:43):
Yes, kids are like slamming frying pans, and you know,
I mean it was mania, screaming, yelling, fighting, and then
playing one second letter. I felt bad when I realized
I thought you were up here maybe with like a man,
you know, another man to help you, like your son's
or something. And then you sent me a picture and
you were like, what do you think of this here?

(37:04):
And and then I see in the picture it's Terry
and she's like going out.

Speaker 9 (37:08):
To eat looking clothes.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Well, I'm like, oh, you know, you didn't think speedy
would have somebody moving to Tanton heels.

Speaker 14 (37:14):
Yeah, but y'all, this is so much better.

Speaker 6 (37:16):
I feel like with that behind us, it felt we
felt like we were kind of cast to the side
with it here.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
It's like we are were we owned this place, like
you're right.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
When we were set up. We were set up over here.
I didn't realize this behind us, And I know that's
not what's in there. Dumpsters could have been in there, yes,
trash cans. It is a good view of the meter
and the meter, the power meter.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
Yeah. Now, when when our back starts burning, you know what,
it's just what we do when that Alabama son hits
our back.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
Hey, I got our face up right now a little.
And he didn't need the headset back. But Gary, you didn't.
You don't have a turkey call, do you? I was wondering,
do you think you could call a turkey up out
of the we think about that, you think maybe?

Speaker 3 (37:55):
All right?

Speaker 2 (37:55):
So so Adler's final decision apparent. It was black shorts
and then and then a blue Rick Burgess Show shirt.

Speaker 6 (38:04):
My pants, Now these are these are my church jeans.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Okay, this is your church but no collar. You decided
to wear a T shirt?

Speaker 11 (38:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (38:11):
I thought this was what y'all were gonna be wearing.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
What do you think this shirt is?

Speaker 14 (38:14):
I thought it's like Loud and Proud is logo. That
is loud pro I'm here.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Okay, thank you, buddy, thank you. On top of the hour.

lot of rain lately and it's good to see the
sun come up.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
We got a dry day to day, So if you're
coming out for the Drumming Company Celebrity program, you're in
for a treat. Today should be a beautiful day, no
issues whatsoever. We're on the Coca Cola patio overlooking this
beautiful driving range and putting green. The region's tradition starts tomorrow,
which is a major on the PGA Champions Tour. When

(39:57):
we tell you that we're coming to you from Birmingham,
well that is the that that is true. But to
be real specific, we're in the city of Hoover. That's
where we're located, and we have an honor today Hoover mayor,
and you're with it. So I'm gonna say the name, right, Brocato,
that's it. How'd you like bro Cato?

Speaker 15 (40:19):
Well, if we were in Italy, it would be Brocoto Brocotto.
Since we're in Hoover, alabama's broke too.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
So tell me generationally, your family you're have you I
know you've been here your whole life, I'm sure, but
I mean, do you do you ever go back to Italy?

Speaker 15 (40:37):
Well, sure you I've been back a few times. Actually,
our families from Sicily, but we're one of the oldest
Italian families in Birmingham.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
We came in here.

Speaker 15 (40:46):
Oh, my family guy here probably in the eighteen.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
Nineties, the eighteen nineties.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
Yes, that's exactly right.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
Okay, pretty cool. So tell me a little bit because
this is You're gonna love this. Being Italian, you're gonna
absolutely love this. So we were getting ready to we
went to Italy. I guess it's spent two years ago. Uh.
So I was talking to friends of ours that my
dad's offensive coordinator for practically his entire coaching career, with

(41:12):
the exception of the very beginning, is Charles Maniscalco. So
so at school with him, did you really did John Carroll? Yeah,
Pat Sullivan all that? Yeah, yeah, all right, so you
know Charles, well, yeah, so he and dad were, you know,
coach together for years, and so we were going to
UH and so I thought, well, I got to talk
to a maniscalco about what I need to do, and

(41:33):
we're going to go to Florence, Rome and Tuscany. So
so we were we were excited, and so I said,
tell me what I need to do, what I don't
need to do. Where's the places I need to eat
and these different places we would be and he just
stopped and he said, oh, you can't mess it up.
He said, you go eat anywhere. He said, even if
a guy's waving you into some little small thing he goes,

(41:54):
which would probably be the best, he goes. Just go
sit down at the table. The Italians don't miss food up,
he said, He said, everywhere you eat, it's gonna be great.
Now you go.

Speaker 15 (42:02):
It was you go to Europe and if you miss
if you missed the Italian food, you didn't really go
to Europe.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
Yeah, it was fantastic. So so you you obviously have
been in Hoover for for how long?

Speaker 15 (42:14):
Well, you know, I started on the fire departiament in
nineteen seventy three, wow, and I was there forty two years.
That's where I spent my career. And uh, a year
after I retired, I was elected as the mayor. And
I've been here nine for nine years.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
Nine years, nine years. Well Hoover, for those of you
around the country that may not know this, Hoover is.
I mean, I happen in city. Now, your your city
map is is difficult to follow it, and you know,
it's it's it's got you. You think you're in Hoover,
and then you realize I'm not in Hoover, that I'm
back in Hoover. I'm in Hoover again, you know. And

(42:46):
then but it's you told me. You and I met
each other at at a luncheon here not too long ago,
and you told me that the Rick Burgess Show, Studios,
Big Vox Entertainment, we're in Hoover, Hoover out of How
about that. I love it, Yes, yes, yeah, And of
course I live not far. I'm just out of Hoover
in a township, but still the same. I mean, I

(43:09):
literally drive into Hoover, you know as you're you'll be
happy to know to shop, you'll eat what it's all about.
But big box entertainment. We're paying taxes to Hoover all
the mountain.

Speaker 3 (43:20):
That's exactly.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
So you can say we are the home of the
region's tradition.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
That's correct.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
We are the home of the SEC Baseball tournament, but which,
by the ways, next week.

Speaker 4 (43:29):
Yeah, and there's many other things. And and you are
also the home of the Rick Bergers Show.

Speaker 15 (43:34):
And we're very proud of that, I bet you some
days we're always proud of that, exactly.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
So, so uh, tell us about I mean, when you
have these kind of events going on. And of course
one of the things I've noticed too is the new
sports complex you guys have put together out by the
Hoover met My goodness, I mean that's been bringing in
tournaments and of every kind. What a what a what
a first class operation that is? And how long is
that been an operation?

Speaker 15 (44:00):
Now? So that actually cranked up right in my first
year of operation. The Fendly Center was built. You know,
that road stopped about nine years ago, stopped at the
last entrance to the met. And when you go out
there now and it's just totally transformed, the businesses that
are out there, the homes that are out there, just
kind of remarkable. And we've been able to build that

(44:21):
complex of Hoover met Complex into one of the major
sports tourisms in the South, really, particularly for youth baseball
and volleyball and soccer, those two across across that whole thing.
But it's not that I live out there, Rick, and
I'll when I run, I may run past one of
the baseball fields, and you know, if I see somebody

(44:44):
out there, go and talk to them. And I ran
up one morning and gentlemen was the coach and said,
where you're from. So we're from Boston, you know, high
school kids down there playing baseball. We seen from California.
This travel ball is really big. So we have about
nine hundred thousand people is what they estimate come through
that complex every year and has about a ninety million
dollar economic impact on the metropolitan area. So it's it's

(45:07):
not only good for Hoover, but it's good.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
For all of them.

Speaker 4 (45:09):
So why would somebody in your position, you work with
the fire department all those years, serving the community, why
in the world would you want to be.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
Mayor Well, you know, I.

Speaker 4 (45:20):
I mean, I know you you worked, you know in
a in a city government situation obviously, so did you
did you feel this was a call in your life?

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Is this something you'd always did?

Speaker 15 (45:30):
I mean, I knew guys thirty years ago that one
day I wanted to be the mayor.

Speaker 3 (45:35):
I wanted to at least run for the mayor of Hoover.

Speaker 15 (45:37):
And what's interesting, the city of Hoover started out of
the little Hoover Volunteer Fire Department. A lot of people
don't realize that.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 15 (45:44):
I think I'm the fifth mayor that came out of
the Hoover Volunteer Fire Department.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
Of course when I went to work and.

Speaker 15 (45:50):
Became a full time paid department, But I always had
that aspiration.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
I worked with.

Speaker 15 (45:55):
I think I've worked with every mayor that's been with
the City of Hoover at one time or another. There,
so you see how things are done, you see how
you really like a lot of things, and you see
some things that you like to change, and you feel
like you can contribute. And that's how That's exactly how
it was, and I wanted to keep serving our city.
I've been here my entire life, especially my entire adult life.

(46:18):
So that's why you know the fire service, it prepares.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
You for a job like this. You would not believe
because different kinds of fires.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
Okay, oh yeah, yeah, you got virus to put out
every day every day. This is mayor of Brocado, the
mayor of Hoover, Alabama. That's where we're located here at
Greystone Golfing country Club. When this turned it's always been
a big event, but when it became a major h
that was a game changer. That's bringing more people in
than ever.

Speaker 15 (46:44):
Well it is, and again we love to showcase our city.
And I mean not just Hoover, but the metro, the
Birmingham metropolitan area as well. We have a wonderful city here.
This whole metro is great. The hospitality is fantastic. And
when you talk about other than hospitality, I don't think
anybody does it any better than.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Us, do you know? You know, to me, there's Southern
hospitality and then there's Alabama that's exactly, and then there's Birmingham.

Speaker 15 (47:08):
And I and I really think when when you talk
about the SEC Baseball alternat, that's a biggie. That is
why we have the SEC Baseball turna because our folks,
our citizens, turn out, our employees at city Hall.

Speaker 3 (47:21):
It's like the event of the year.

Speaker 15 (47:23):
They turn out and they want to sell the city
and they want to make sure everybody, no matter where
they're from, that they're going to have a great time.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Well, you experience this all the time. We do too
in our line of work, because we have a lot
of guests that are coming through, a lot of clients
from different places, and it's almost there's almost no exception.
The people who've never been here, they're always you can
tell and I'll go ahead and say it, and they're like,
this is not what I expect now, and uh, and
they're blown away by really sometimes, which is a secret

(47:53):
of how how wonderful it is to actually be here.
And I tell people all the time, you can go
to a Sacks fifth Avenue and then you I have
twenty five minutes and you can be down there at
to farm, you know, in a completely different culture. You know,
you don't have to drive forest. All these different cultures
all living together, and like you said, at the heart
of it all is that that Southern hospitality. So yeah,

(48:13):
I noticed when you said the SEC Baseball tournament next week.
I just I did it up, just did a men's
thing in Omaha, Nebraska, and how they have that whole
place built around the College World Series and for Hoover,
the SEC Baseball Tournament. It feels like that when it's here.
You know, the whole city revolves around that. For those
days where it's going on with people hosting people from

(48:35):
all over.

Speaker 15 (48:35):
Well, you know, every city in the Southeastern Conference footprint
wants that tournament. And the Vanderbilt coach, Coach Corbyn, he
told me one day, said the two greatest venues in
college baseball are the World Series in Omaha, Nebraska and
the SEC Baseball Tournament in Hoover, Alabama. How about that,
he said, you don't need to it needs to stay here.

(48:57):
And I thought that's big. I mean because every.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
After it all and I thought we were going to
lose it at one point, Well, you guys did a
good job of keeping we did.

Speaker 15 (49:04):
We put we put a twenty three million dollar renovation
over the last three years to the Hoover met is
completely transformed. I think people are going to be blown
away with what they see. I'm really excited about the
city stepping up and doing those things. Our city council
stepping up and you know, taking the initiative to let

(49:24):
us do those types of things. But well it's a
great event for everybody, and we're proud to host. Well
you make us proud.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
You guys are a great host, and thank you for
hosting us today and come in and giving us a
welcome here on the show. And it was great to
get to meet you at at the luncheon the other day.
That was a lot of fun. And wish you nothing
but continue success and thank you for the work you've
already done.

Speaker 3 (49:44):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
There he is the mayor of Hoover. Brocado is in
the house and and he's saying, hello, Oh.

Speaker 4 (49:52):
Well, you're supposed to give me the key to the city.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
I left it in the car.

Speaker 4 (49:56):
Did you really?

Speaker 2 (49:58):
I mean speak You said you have this special presentation,
and I was I didn't want to ask for it.

Speaker 15 (50:01):
I got so excited about being on the show.

Speaker 3 (50:03):
I forgot it.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
Okay, well I'll walk out to the parking lot.

Speaker 3 (50:07):
You I could be that.

Speaker 4 (50:09):
I sit here and hoo right, can go bring it.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (50:12):
Stay closed.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
You got the rick Burgers Show.

Speaker 8 (50:14):
This is the Rick Burger's Show.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
The Rick Burgers show on location. Here we are gangs
all here, Speedy Greg Adler, Gary is here if you
want to come out, you know, I mean, Gary's hanging
out with us today and we're going to be rolling
through lots of folks that are dropping by. And here
he is. Trendill has made his way over to the
Coca Cola patio and coach, Uh, what a pleasure to

(50:49):
see you again.

Speaker 4 (50:50):
Thanks for having me.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
Well, you know there's a lot going on, is I
don't have to tell you that it's it's active. You
are you decided to take on college football. Yeah, at
the time when college football was changing the most in
our lifetimes, and and you said this is all you
would ever know. I remember when we interviewed you about that.

(51:12):
So it won't be that big adjustment for me. It
is a it's the wild, wild West out there.

Speaker 4 (51:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Maybe the only regret I have it saying that I
was going to ask you how you feel about that?
Note it is my norm.

Speaker 16 (51:24):
It's the only thing I know. I would not say.
It's not a big deal, you know, it's it has
been two and a half years of trying to kick
a field goal with a goal post moving in a
three hundred and sixty degree circle at Miles Prower. You know,
you just you don't know where to aim, and trying
to figure out where to aim and how to find

(51:46):
solutions to everyday challenges has been you can look at
our record, I haven't done it very well, you know.
So this year was really kind of a resetting year
and saying, okay, you know what, if we don't know
where the goalpost is, what do we know and what
can we settle in on and what is my lifetime
in football? Taught me that should hold true regardless of

(52:07):
the chaos of college football. So cover resetting, and you know,
I regret the last two years for our fan base
and for institution, for the players. Personally, it's been great.
You know, personally, I wouldn't change it for the world
because it's taught me so much and it's humbled me,
and it's allowed me to see football and development and

(52:30):
coaching and leadership through a different lens, which I think
was valuable at this stage of my life.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
So let me ask you this. One of the things
when you look at the way it's set up now,
and there's got to be changes. We got to have
some kind of structure. I think we all agree with that.
Hopefully some of the opportunities, just like Saban may get
maybe he can get in there and get some things done,
so you guys can have some structure, because it seems
to be like we're making it up as we go
back to your analogy about the go post you as

(52:56):
a coach, getting to know you, interviewing you, listening to you.
You're in it to also have an impact on young
men beyond football. It feels like to me, that's harder
than ever now because you don't know how long you
got them. They jump and go, somebody comes in. There's
constant revolving. There's a side of coaching that that's difficult,

(53:19):
but there's also the trying to be the influence to
these athletes that many times you're either the second most
influential man in their life, are you're the most influential
man in their life based on their situation with their
earthly father? Is that just harder than ever?

Speaker 4 (53:36):
It is?

Speaker 16 (53:37):
But it's as rewarding as every Okay, true, you know
I think that, And and this is gonna be hard
for some people understand, Like there's gonna be players that
we have touch points with while they're at UAB that
don't experience this great connection with me or the staff. Right,
it happens, but they're gonna be introduced to something that's

(54:01):
different in their life and they're gonna they're gonna at
some point come back to that. It's been amazing even
so far after you know, my first year's group, how
many players have come back to me since I didn't
get it at the time, but now I get it
as I'm actually going out into manhood okay and realizing
the challenges out there. The lessons you were trying to

(54:21):
teach us through football.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
Can you can you reboot those lessons for me?

Speaker 4 (54:25):
Coach?

Speaker 3 (54:25):
You know?

Speaker 16 (54:25):
And I've had a lot of times in my office
where ex players have come in.

Speaker 2 (54:30):
And asked for that time.

Speaker 16 (54:31):
So, you know, the one thing about money that's interesting.
Money makes you more of what you were before.

Speaker 2 (54:36):
You got it. So everybody list amplifies it.

Speaker 16 (54:39):
Everybody listening may it amplifies whatever you were, whatever your
character was, whatever your habits were. It's going to amplify
whatever they are. So we're kind of using this opportunity
where they're starting to make some money. It's scary because
many of them have very poor habits and don't have
great character, and we're scared of they'll make it more

(55:00):
of that, but we're using as a teaching opportunity. We
really built the program this year around this mantra of
be a pro and it's not a pro football player.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
We have very few that will be pro football players,
but we have all of.

Speaker 16 (55:12):
Them that will be pro earners or as we're talking about,
being pro husbands or pro fathers. So developing professional habits,
developing a professional lifestyle, developing professional accountability. We believe by
doing that they'll also play more professional style football. You know,
we've lost for two years, not because of talent, because
of horrible decision making on the football field, you know,

(55:34):
just knucklehead stuff. We've lost more games, We've lost more games,
given way more games. We've been beat and you know
that to me, that's like sind number one in football.
You know, the only success I had in the NFL
was because I quote unquote managed. You know, learn how
to win. You learn how to win in sports, and

(55:55):
we have not learned how.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
To win yet. So developing more professional approach to.

Speaker 16 (55:59):
The building and our players taken more professional approach to
how they live their lives.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
And how they play football should equate to win. So
we've only got about forty seconds real quick, have you
changed the way? Are you more concerned with transfer a portal?
Are going trying to find that hoskool player? I mean,
how do you balance those too?

Speaker 16 (56:18):
We would rather live in the high school world, but
we don't have a choice sometimes. You know, we've developed
a lot of really good players. You know, one of
the things people question me about was recruiting, and I
said that figure it out, right, We figured it out.
I mean we've we've recruited and developed fourteen players that
have started with us and now are getting paid massive
money by schools above us. Right, So that's proof that

(56:40):
we know how to recruit.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
And now we're being punished right for something we do well,
people just coming to pick them back.

Speaker 16 (56:46):
Yeah, So we got to find a balance and we're
not getting punished for doing something well. Stay in the
high school space and then supplement our roster with the portal.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Oh yes, Alex, I said, let's say, if we can't
get that go post in one position, I would love that.

Speaker 4 (56:59):
Thank you great to see it.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
That's our pleasure trend to do it from Super Bowl
Champion and the head football coach for UAB the Blazers.
We'll come back. There's still much more happening. He's gonna
go out and warm up a little bit.

Speaker 4 (57:10):
So if you can't have a pugging around today, more
live from Greystone.

Speaker 2 (57:15):

learned that we have to do these kind of things.
This may sound elementary, but I had an email yesterday,
so did I signed? Did I click the signed link? Well,

want to sign copy or do you just want a copy?

To get on them a little bit. Did Flarry Huh?

Speaker 5 (01:07:51):
I ain't done.

Speaker 4 (01:07:52):
You had done? Called the mayor of Hooper, Paul Fine
fomb Yeah, and Robert came by you shut show down.

Speaker 8 (01:07:58):
He was the Wick Show.

Speaker 4 (01:08:12):
We're back, coming to you live today on location beautiful
Graystone Golfing Country Club.

Speaker 2 (01:08:19):
What a beautiful day in Sweet Home, Alabama. The Drumming
Company Celebrity Pro Am Today. We're live here on the
Coca Cola patio. What a view we have. The sun
is up, we're chilling. Regions tradition starts tomorrow a major
on the PGA Champions Tour. Meet a lot of the
pros today and they'll be playing with us, some celebrities

(01:08:41):
as well in the pro am. Now, when we're starting
that process speedy, Now that I know, it makes you
nervous because now you have the gas that are supposed
to be on and then you know they don't show
up on time then one starts spilling into the other one,
and then before you know what, you got an ensemble.
I want to go practice and people want to get

(01:09:03):
out there and hit you know, we're only two interviews in.

Speaker 4 (01:09:08):
Now we're already I think this. I thought this was
a step out when when he contacted me yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
You speak of Taylor Hicks. Now Taylor Hicks love Taylor
wanted to be wrong. And I do believe when those
that maybe you know, maybe you're not known for the
early morning thing. I think when they commit to being here,
they mean it at the time the evening hasn't started. Uh,
they haven't gotten that that part of their day hadn't

(01:09:37):
you there there in the afternoon. They still feel like
that they're gonna, you know, go to bed at a
decent time. You know, they're gonna get up at a
decent time. And then that kind of just goes away.
They don't do it. So if you know, you're a
concert with your son, right Greg, so, and really I
think they all need to suck it up. If Greg
can go do a show yesterday, fixed Mama's car, which

(01:09:58):
is still coming on the show, and then go to
a little league game and go to a concert and
still be here at the time we get here. Then, Greg,
you got you shouldn't feel bad for anybody.

Speaker 4 (01:10:08):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
Yeah, how you doing?

Speaker 3 (01:10:10):
You know?

Speaker 4 (01:10:11):
I get we all commit stuff and yeah, especially like
you said, you a musician. Yeah, musicians normally if you
schedule them earlier, it just does not work.

Speaker 2 (01:10:20):
All right, So listen, you don't sound tired at all. Great, Yeah,
you're great, You're doing great. You've been holding court. Yeah,
it's just to be normal day. Yeah, just normal day
and the life of Greg Burgess. You know. Can I
tell you this all of us has been You've been
doing this for a long time too. Okay, what you
do today is important when this show, when this is over,
how you recover and get back it's big.

Speaker 4 (01:10:41):
Yeah, you can't put two days back to bed. I'm
gonna go to bed decent hour. Will y'all be in
bed when I turned going to the back nine? Yes, yeah,
may not be officially in bed, but I will be
asleep sitting up on the couch.

Speaker 2 (01:10:51):
Yeah, I promise I should call Taylor and go, hey,
where you are?

Speaker 4 (01:10:55):
Well heard, Dave? Bump your tea time back a little five?

Speaker 2 (01:11:00):
Can I say this to you? Speedy what's gonna happen now?
Because I know I know, and the next one too.

Speaker 4 (01:11:06):
But now, like we're getting this email right here, for
the love of all that's good and kind, please have
more live on location shows.

Speaker 2 (01:11:13):
Y'all are killing them.

Speaker 4 (01:11:14):
I've always liked that. Uh, it's the chaos, I think
is what people like because it makes them uncomfortable to
hear what all is going on and know that you're uncomfortable.
You got Gary over there kick too much about it
and then there you go. Uh, and so we'll see
how it plays out. But now we got Bow next,
and here's what's gonna happen. You know, we're gonna have

(01:11:35):
Taylor Freeze and Bow while standing alls in here wanting
to get the go get it done.

Speaker 2 (01:11:40):
You know what I'm gonna do on my hand of
the mic and go over there and start talking to y'all.
Can I ask you the uncomfortable? Yeah, what's gonna go
out there when the guests arrive. It's it's pretty much
me at that point. It's it's adlering me documented and
I'm doing it and everybody else just go off a goops.

Speaker 4 (01:11:56):
Off and don't you kind of wish you kind of
hanging with him. We don't want to yeah, and get
in your interview, right, yeah, more if we chime in
with something here, that's right?

Speaker 2 (01:12:07):
Would you like me want of us to just sit
here though? No, no, I don't need that. No, that's fine. Now,
then that'll strut bothering, because then I'll think you want
to be involved.

Speaker 4 (01:12:15):
You can't win. Quit looking for Taylor's speed. He's quit
looking for Taylor's We've got four minutes in a segment.
So here, here comes, here comes a real won't be
here either.

Speaker 2 (01:12:24):
Here here's a real uncomfortable question for you, speedy, okay,
and it's crazy uncomfortable, huh, which is why I can't
wait to say it. Okay, will you bump Taylor? Yeah?
Oh yeah yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:12:34):
Can you do that when he walks up? It's going
to be uncomfortable because I'm gonna tell you something. I
was like, this is where I pulled Greg in for
some reason, I feel like he supports me.

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
And I said, Greg, let's go talk to Taylor. Bo Jackson,
we can do that. Bo Jackson is not gonna be
here at his time. Taylor is already missing his time,
and then Hugh Freeze is gonna walk out and sit down.
See the pro move would have been, I know, freezes
in there and grab him now I know, but but
you also want to re people and let him have
some coffee and eat and and you know, because they

(01:13:03):
hadn't done nothing wrong. You know how good that food is.
What would is somebody come in and say, hey, can
you come?

Speaker 4 (01:13:07):
What? What if you, by the way, the bacon here's perfect?

Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
What would you do?

Speaker 4 (01:13:12):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:13:12):
I stopped eating those craft the dog kind of took
that away from that. But but I'm gonna say this,
Would you be willing to put Hugh Freeze in bow
spot if he's not here? Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:13:23):
I think at top of the hour, once it gets
to be three after that's when we're going in. We're
going in and going hey, coach, could you go a
little early? But you know Bo and Freeze have been
on together before. Yeah. But see, I think that that's
chaos and not a good way.

Speaker 2 (01:13:36):
It is for us because we'll be over it. Because
I feel like I feel like this. I feel like
the people have to share their interview they think. So
I stopped by it and I got to say one
thing right, and you got to equally distribut which it's
hard to do. If you're having a conversation at least
to something else, you're not doing it on purpose.

Speaker 4 (01:13:52):
I love.

Speaker 2 (01:13:54):
Yeah, it'll be fun to watch from over there though.
I love Taylor Hills outstanding. I love Taylor Hicks. But
in the interviewers situation, Yeah, so Bo the world's greatest athlete.
You know this, this is a coach tell us about
the team. I mean, sec you know, the playoff we
had the first year of the playoffs, and Taylor got
any new songs. Taylor has a lot going on, I know,
but it's it's a I love Taylor. I'm just talking

(01:14:15):
about the transition out there. I just wanted to get
to Taylor. I told us you could actually have bow
and Hugh and tie them into at least Auburn, Yeah,
you know, and in the state of college football. But
then if you got Taylor Hickson there, he's a musician,
how to tie him in? You got a song about
the playoff, I mean your theme songs on Paul Fine
bomb and Gary got his picture made with him a

(01:14:35):
minute ago.

Speaker 4 (01:14:36):
Unfortunately it was the mayor hoof Yeah, appreciate you. But
do you want to meet both? Do you want to
meet Bo Jackson? Something, go ahead, He just said, no.

Speaker 14 (01:14:48):
I'm sorry to interrupt, but look how Jack that dude
is what he must work out. See the guy by
the car right there, Look at that, bro, he is Jack.

Speaker 6 (01:14:57):
Look at that Brode looking at that he's he's done it.
Probably one of the most jacked guys I've ever seen
my entire life.

Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
So we're live on the airline.

Speaker 14 (01:15:10):
Yeah, it might not seem like it, but we're lying.

Speaker 2 (01:15:12):
I get it, I get it.

Speaker 4 (01:15:14):
But the uh, well have you been jack, y'all don't
have any recognized Travis Perry. Yes, buddy the guitar buddy. Yes, yes,
he's also the highest buddy cord buddy guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
he'll be with a J and and good a. Actually
he can ask Taylor Hicks why he was late because

(01:15:35):
he'll be with him today.

Speaker 2 (01:15:36):
Are we just gonna let Adlerta say, grab the headset,
say my turn to talk? And he points us to
row to another man who happens to be black, who
he calls bro. He says, if you've seen that bro,
he's Jack.

Speaker 5 (01:15:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:15:48):
And it seems so nonchalant that Travis Perry thought we
were all fair, because it looked like we were just
looking down out here talking about that. You're right, it
doesn't Oh there he is there, Taylor kidding. Every time
I see somebody gray headed, I think is gray headed persons.
But he quit looking. You got a minute and a

(01:16:10):
half left. If he's here, you can't even get him.

Speaker 14 (01:16:11):
I don't see color, so I don't know what you
all are talking about.

Speaker 4 (01:16:14):
That guy is jack.

Speaker 2 (01:16:15):
You see there's some nice vehicles out here by the
way too.

Speaker 14 (01:16:19):
That's all I want to say. Here's your head, So thanks,
thanks adding for.

Speaker 2 (01:16:22):
Pointing out another man who's jacked Yeah, that was your hand.
Maybe Gary, he kind of got he kind of got
to up with that jacked up feller over there.

Speaker 4 (01:16:34):
What what is he saying?

Speaker 2 (01:16:36):
Gary? Gary now breaks down addlers and hey, listen, I've
never been so thankful for the break.

Speaker 4 (01:16:40):
Yeah, never, okay, and I just want to apologize to you.
It's out of control here and I don't know where
anybody is.

Speaker 5 (01:16:46):
I just love making fun.

Speaker 4 (01:16:48):
Yeah people, all right? So uh so now you're just
were predicted.

Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
We're off schedule now and you're gonna have to bump
Taylor hits and it's gonna be uncomfortable.

Speaker 4 (01:17:00):
Yeah, yeah, love Taylor. We'll just give him a bro hug.
As Adler would say.

Speaker 8 (01:17:04):

Speaker 2 (01:18:15):
Well today we're on location, coming to you live from
Graystone Golfing Country Club, Hoover, Alabama, just outside of Birmingham.

Speaker 4 (01:18:23):
Here in Sweet Home, Alabama. What a beautiful day today
the Drumming Company Celebrity Program.

Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
We're in the Coca Cola patio overlooking the driving range
and the putting green. It's a nice setup. Region's tradition
starts tomorrow, which is a major on the Champions Tour.
And coach Hugh Freese Auburn University, thank you for giving
us a little time to visit again today. How you
been been good?

Speaker 18 (01:18:47):
May's a good month you know for forrests comparatively to
a lot of months. You actually get to, you know,
do some things with your family and go to the
lake or you know, it's unfortunate for your assistant coaches.

Speaker 9 (01:18:59):
They're still on the road crew.

Speaker 18 (01:19:00):
The head coaches Kent and your current team is in
discretionary time, so you can't be with them. So but
I get to do some events like this and and
and be with family a decent amount of May until
we start these official visits next weekend, which I don't.

Speaker 9 (01:19:14):
Know why I did that. That's pretty crazy. Waits a
June on that, but I guess you just have to
just give in to it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
But it's it's good to see. I do want to
thank you for I know how you're pulled in so
many different directions and making time to be at the
Man Church conference in Birmingham back in January. I can't
tell you the number of or was that February anyway,
it was the first quarter. I think it was the
end of January.

Speaker 9 (01:19:39):
I think it was the end of Jane, right right
at the end of the recruiter.

Speaker 2 (01:19:41):
Yeah, and I got so many men that you know,
we're giving me feedback. You know, we had men come
from seventeen different states, and you know, I guess you know,
when when they think, okay, they put a coach in
the line up, how's that gonna go?

Speaker 9 (01:19:57):
And that it's gonna be some cookie cutter script.

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
I'm standing there and at one point I go is
coach singing and you start singing to him, and there's
a fountain. Yeah, there's a fountain. The message impacted a
lot of guys. So thank you for that, and I
appreciate you taking time to be with us. And we saw,
as I let you know later, huge response.

Speaker 9 (01:20:22):
Well, all I want to say about that is I
just hope it.

Speaker 18 (01:20:27):
I hope it comes across as as the intent is,
and that is that I'm.

Speaker 9 (01:20:33):
Just a fellow struggler that.

Speaker 18 (01:20:35):
That understands grace and needed daily and I think more
people need to hear that. And having grandkids and going
through you know, a diagnosis of sickness and you know
that they tell me I'm sick.

Speaker 9 (01:20:51):
I don't feel sick.

Speaker 18 (01:20:51):
But you know, I tell you what, when you have
grandkids and you start seeing them run to you with
just zero fear, I mean, just total trust, that is
the way God wants us.

Speaker 9 (01:21:05):
To come to him.

Speaker 18 (01:21:07):
And we we we fall into so many lives so
many times that we don't do that because we know
more than anybody that we.

Speaker 9 (01:21:15):
Don't measure up. But that's not the way he sees it.

Speaker 4 (01:21:18):
Yeah, I was.

Speaker 2 (01:21:19):
We were just whing you said that before you came
on here. You know, we talk about all these platforms
and all these things, and you know, hey, you get
some people get elevated to what people God's not really
impressed by it. But but Adam and I were just
talking about this the quicker. You realize that at the
foot of the cross, everybody's the same, just the same.

(01:21:42):
We all are in the same equal need of mercy
and grace at the foot of the cross every day.

Speaker 9 (01:21:46):
And yeah, so.

Speaker 2 (01:21:48):
So how are you doing? It was pretty public.

Speaker 18 (01:21:51):
Share now, Jill and I made a decision to share,
you know, instead of you know, I think there's a
platform for that and hopefully it inspires me into women
alike to just there's certain things that I think we
can you know, be ahead of.

Speaker 2 (01:22:07):
We're talking about cancer, Yeah, prostate cancer, cancer, and you
just had the surgery, right.

Speaker 18 (01:22:12):
I have not yet yet, I'm not. It's we have
decided through obviously, we've we've included doctors that we have
great wisdom.

Speaker 9 (01:22:21):
But it's cult really early.

Speaker 18 (01:22:23):
So I do believe that January will be the the
time where we start the treatment, whether it's removal which
I think that's what it will be. But they don't
really see a difference in hey, if you do something
here in June, because if you look at my schedule,
it's like, but you feel okay, I don't feel bad
at all other than the old back, you know, you

(01:22:47):
know so, But as far as I have no signs
that didn't you know, it was just a routine bloodsheck
that some a p s a titch up, which is
in my family, my brother and father. So that's why
it went a step further. But you know, we're we're praying,
and Jill's kind of changed our diet some and we'll

(01:23:07):
see what the MRI says in January.

Speaker 9 (01:23:09):
If it's still there, then we'll start.

Speaker 18 (01:23:12):
You know, January February is probably the best month if
you're going to do something like that for me, because
February is dead and I can have time to recover.

Speaker 2 (01:23:20):
Well, the statement I saw from you that I really
and you're exactly right when you got the diagnosis or whatever,
there's all kinds of things we face. You said, well,
I guess now it's time for me to live what
I actually says. You know, it's one thing to say
it and you know, you know, but when when God
allows the situation that says, okay, big man, you know

(01:23:40):
you still trust me? Now?

Speaker 4 (01:23:41):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:23:42):
Are you going? Are you going to continue to glorify
me even when you're kind of I put you in
a little bit of the rest, you know, as the
scriptures tell us, this says the testing of the genuine
of your faith?

Speaker 11 (01:23:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:23:51):
Look, the one thing that I believe God is trying
to teach me more than anything is to does he
have my absolute yes to whatever he sees fit for
my story?

Speaker 4 (01:24:09):
Yes?

Speaker 18 (01:24:10):
And does he have my absolutely when you put it
on the table, because there's not you go look in
Hebrews eleven at the Hall of Fame of faith. Every
one of them had suffering trials and none of us
want that. But does he have my yes to? Because
whatever we experience here doesn't compare to the glory that

(01:24:32):
one day we will and so it does he have
my yes too?

Speaker 9 (01:24:35):
All right? You want me to go through prostate cancer? Yes?
You know what do you want me to go through?

Speaker 18 (01:24:40):
And whatever my next phase of coaching, my answer is yes,
Is it yes?

Speaker 9 (01:24:44):
Or is it not?

Speaker 18 (01:24:45):
So that's that's kind of where I'm I'm trying to
get there wholeheardly.

Speaker 2 (01:24:50):
Well, I was going to ask you that I guess
we should talk a little bit about football, and I
was not near as important, but that yes got put
on the table. Are you are you?

Speaker 4 (01:24:57):
Have you gotten to the point when the whole lands
Cape college football turned upside down?

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
And you're like, wow? So when I gave that yes, I.

Speaker 4 (01:25:05):
Mean it doesn't know all that it is the wild.

Speaker 2 (01:25:08):
Wild West right now? And are you? I talked to
coach Dill for a minute ago. He said, I thought
I would have an advantage since this is all I know.
It turned out to even be more difficult than I
could ever imagine. He described it as a goalpost that
keeps moving. You're trying to kick a fil go and
every time you look at go post somewhere else. Are
you getting a feel of it? Have you gotten in
the rhythm?

Speaker 9 (01:25:27):
No, there's no way to until because it keeps change.
All we just.

Speaker 18 (01:25:31):
Begged for is coaches, is please please somebody congress this
judge with the settlement, Can we just please get some
structure that all of us have the same structure and
that that's all. If we could just get something like
that that includes here is the salary, cap. Yes, you

(01:25:54):
have outside nil opportunities. We'll worry about who qualifies for
that through a law firm. Let them do it. And
here is a contract that is uniform across college football
that is honored, where if we could just get that
structure in place where you know, if you sign a kid,

(01:26:15):
we're not making them sign this, We're giving them a blessing,
but they have to honor that or somebody has to.

Speaker 9 (01:26:22):
Pay that back, just like coaches.

Speaker 18 (01:26:24):
If we're gonna do revenue sharing, and then if we
just all had the same cap, then I think you're
gonna see great parody and it's gonna be a very
interesting thing. But right now, you've got teams that are
you know, I hear crazy numbers of some and I
don't know who's true, but I'm here and that there's

(01:26:44):
some that are front loaded where teams are gonna be
up in the thirty to forty million range, and that's
not sustainable for ninety five percent of us. And I
think it's gonna really hurt our sport. And so we're
just begging, I know, the administrations of our ads taking
a lead in it, trying hard to get but we

(01:27:06):
really need this settlement to get done so that we
at least, I mean, right now, we can't. We were
on a text strand yesterday with the head coaches in
our league and heck, we don't even know what our
squad size is. And it's and it's and here we
are and in going toward late May.

Speaker 4 (01:27:22):
Yeah you kind of know that, don't you. Yeah, Well,
thanks for taking time to come by.

Speaker 2 (01:27:26):
I know you got a lot going on, and it's
always a pleasure I always enjoyed.

(01:30:38):
that option. So Greg, you and I yesterday, Speedy's been
honest about this. Yeah, Speedy's it's ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (01:30:46):
We let it go a little long.

Speaker 2 (01:30:47):
Speedy's been you know. Mama is eighty three, lives on
her own and a little cottage. Now she has she's
not driving anymore. She said, you know, she had a
seizure a year ago. One year ago, by the way,
and she said, and she had had any problems after that,
but she, you know, she's lost her confidence a little bit.
Doesn't feel us confident driving, and so her car has

(01:31:10):
has been sitting out in a parking spot. We were
driving it periodically. At one point now where I think
it went downhill was back in the winter. We had
an arctic blast again this year. Southerners don't do well
with that. None of our stuff is set up for
those kind of temperatures. So that that was a little
bit trying on the car, and the car got to

(01:31:31):
where it would not start. Now it's gonna bother Speedy here.
What she didn't need it and she wasn't using it.
And every time every time we would go over there,
it looked nice that it was an iore. Yeah, it's
it's a buck enclave probably two thousand and seven somewhere
in there. And she was like, uh, I wish I

(01:31:53):
would get my car cranked. And we're like, well, you
don't need a car, mom, I mean. And so we
have twin niece and nephew turned sixteen, and and one
of them wants to drive the car. And finally our sister,
as you can you can imagine, got involved and said,
y'all need to get mama's car running because my son's
gonna need something to drive back into, finally making him

(01:32:16):
do it. So yesterday Greg brought Greg brought the jumper
cables and and we we went over to deal.

Speaker 4 (01:32:24):
With the car.

Speaker 2 (01:32:24):
How did that go?

Speaker 4 (01:32:26):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:32:27):
Surprisingly surprisingly, And this is gonna make you mad and
some of the audience mad.

Speaker 4 (01:32:33):
It cranked right up just by simply jumping it off
some lines.

Speaker 2 (01:32:40):
Yeah, you know when it says there, I don't like
that for a while, and then shot back to the computer,
computer resetting, of course, you know. And you know a
lot of tire signals, you know, And because it was
freezing the last time she used.

Speaker 4 (01:32:56):
It, like a big wheel, you got to put air
in it before you live.

Speaker 2 (01:33:02):
How are we gonna put air in it sitting there
in the parking lot.

Speaker 4 (01:33:04):
We air compressor. No I don't, We don't have so
push your mind. So yeah, thank you, Adler. So we
we crank from behind the camp. Then then comes to
the moment why it's idling. Yeah, we don't want to
get stranded, it's idly drove this well as I take
a couple of hours, run parround the parking lot.

Speaker 2 (01:33:23):
Look, and finally we come down to it. Somebody's following,
and somebody's gotta drive it to the mechanic. Okay, because
we want to get it once over, check everything checking
Midler picture that discussion. So we basically decided that oldest
brother had to drive it. It's almost like, I mean,
so Greg followed, I drove, and you know when you're
in a vehicle that's been just sitting, I mean for months,

(01:33:46):
and you're thinking, are the tires draw rotted? Am I
going to get a flat tire? And the place we
wanted to go was a little further than we wanted
to be, in a little busier area than we want,
a little busier area, and sat down right there, you're
causing problem. Now now the car, the car, it'll jump
a little it'll jump a little as on flat tires too. Well,

(01:34:07):
just just tires jumping, just tires that need to be addressed. Yeah,
and so we we we did deliver mama's car.

Speaker 19 (01:34:16):
We did.

Speaker 2 (01:34:16):
We did deliver her list. Uh this thing about the seat,
the guy, the guy basically looked at us about the
seat and says, I'm sorry that I'm not We can't.
I don't know what you're talking about. And I didn't either.
Mom says something about it. She had on those recalls
on a you know, on the what is it the safety,
what's the thing that blows up the air bag? What's

(01:34:38):
the thing that blows up? Well, people keep walking by
and and so for a minute I thought I saw
bot Jackson. But the uh but anyway, sirs Taylor. Yeah,
so anyway, uh, he said, she's she claims what does
she claim on that great that the seat's not in
their ride or something? Oh no, they they had to
open it up, peel the cuve seat covers back together

(01:35:00):
in there, and they never got them back up right,
and it had that light's been on and so so yeah,
so that was kind of a The guy basically just
looked at us and said, we're not we're not taking
that on.

Speaker 4 (01:35:12):
Well, yeah, I have, Well let's go, let's go, you know,
most important to that. And I think that's probably least
just in the in the broad scale.

Speaker 2 (01:35:22):
So it has been delivered. We did get it jumped off.
We yeah, awaiting the verdict? Wait, waiting? Were did y'all
play rock paper scissors to see who drove?

Speaker 4 (01:35:34):
Hey? Once he got in and I said, just you
staying here, Rick, since your primary once you get it
over there?

Speaker 2 (01:35:41):
Yeah, yeah, so and then I didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:35:42):
Want to be the guy back in track.

Speaker 2 (01:35:44):
Plus you had to get to a concert, right, that's
right down.

Speaker 4 (01:35:47):
I kind of thought I thought I saw you on
a red light too, Greg.

Speaker 2 (01:35:49):
We were trying to keep up. I did I read
red light? Yeah, I saw you.

Speaker 8 (01:35:52):
This is the Rick Burgers Show.

Speaker 2 (01:36:09):
All right, we're back here, we are. I mean, look
with the guys, we're out and about. It's crazy today
when you're on location, you don't know what's gonna happen.
And we've got to talked to some folks, got more
to come on the program today. We just kind of
grab them as we can. And uh, you know what,
Coach Kirby smarts, he's become a regular. I mean the

(01:36:30):
last back on the Rick and Bubba's show. Coming by
and visiting with us and hanging out now are our
first time to talk to each other with the Rick
Burgers show kicking now and coach welcome.

Speaker 4 (01:36:41):
I hope you're having a good day so far. Well,
I appreciate you having me, man, great day so far?

Speaker 2 (01:36:45):
Look good.

Speaker 4 (01:36:45):
I'm on that East Coast time man. You know, I'm
up a little bit earlier. It's not God time.

Speaker 2 (01:36:50):
One of my sons lives in Atlanta, and we're always
dealing with that, you know. And my wife, for some
reason still it never fails. She'll do things like, well,
we should be there at such such time, and I'm
my baby.

Speaker 3 (01:36:59):
We losing that.

Speaker 2 (01:37:00):
You lose that hour and we're too far east I
think in Bama to be on that time zone. Yeah,
especially when you get to the winter and we're dark
at four thirty. It's different. It's different to keep up
with it. Well, good to have you back. How you
doing doing great?

Speaker 20 (01:37:14):
Man?

Speaker 4 (01:37:15):
In the May season, getting to play a little golf
and do a little recruiting and go see some people
and help out with the regions.

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
So college football is chaos right now. You have no
idea total how any world. So he was just on
coach he frees a minute ago, and he's saying what
I'm sure you're saying, said, we just got to have
some structure.

Speaker 4 (01:37:37):
Coach dil For earlier was saying, it's like trying to
kick a field goal on the goal post.

Speaker 2 (01:37:40):
They keep moving, you know. I mean, here you are players,
and I just I think I know your personality. I
was showing coach the book about Dad that we just
put out, and he's looking at that, and I know,
you know, you got a lot of that old school
stuff in you. And of course you know if those
guys were coaching, they'd be in jail.

Speaker 4 (01:38:01):
You know what I mean. I couldn't do it, but
you can take it.

Speaker 2 (01:38:03):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 4 (01:38:04):
Well, And the whole thing is loyalty. I mean, I
just know you. I mean, I know people like you.

Speaker 2 (01:38:09):
My dad was this way and it drove him crazy
if he didn't think you were loyal. And now loyalty
is not even I mean, I mean, can you find it.

Speaker 4 (01:38:19):
You can find it. I mean there are kids that
are loyal. Okay, it's out there. It's just not the norm. Right,
And look, I want to be clear. The first thing
I hear from people is well, well, you know, coach
Smart can go anywhere he wants to go, anytime he goes.

Speaker 2 (01:38:33):
No, I can't, not without a huge buy out. That's right,
without a contract.

Speaker 4 (01:38:36):
If we if we had contracts, I think all the
coaches would be really happy if it was a binding contract,
you know, with what they call liquid data damages and
things like that. Sure, it's hard because you know, are
they are the employees? Are they student athletes? And I
think people people want to argue one side when it
favors this side, right, argue the other side when it
favors that side, and then the truth probably lies somewhere

(01:38:58):
in the middle because it is a business. If else.

Speaker 2 (01:39:00):
To me, when we start trying to still use these
same phrases student athlete and all that, it feels like
we're pretending, right, you know how you just pretend something
because well you either are you aren't, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 4 (01:39:10):
And it's like, well, if it favors this, the student
athletes should be allowed to go anywhere they want to
go and go study and get their major and go
play somewhere else. But then that's not true. Now when
we start talking about contracts, and their employees and things
like that. It makes it really really challenging to navigate.
The hardest part is just what's best for the kids.
What's best is they have ability to earn income. They've

(01:39:32):
earned that. That's great, that's awesome. I'm so happy that
they get As a matter of fact, we're going to
back pay and guys are gonna get paid. You know,
way back, I'm like, I got buddies I played with.
They would love to tap into some of that shit.
They didn't get any of it. The issue is, Okay,
now that we do that, where do we stop and
where does it hurt other sports? You know, when I
talk to ads and you're gonna cut ten other sports

(01:39:55):
and people are like, well, I don't care, those are
non revenue sports.

Speaker 8 (01:39:58):
Well, there's still opportunities for people to.

Speaker 4 (01:40:00):
Go to college.

Speaker 2 (01:40:00):
Nobody thought about that party that.

Speaker 4 (01:40:02):
That hurts me when I say, okay, we're gonna cut
this team or that team and they're not gonna have
an opportunity to go to college.

Speaker 2 (01:40:07):
Do you think too, like back in the day, you know,
the old way, facilities, facilities, facilities. It feels to me
still kind of being connected enough that that really they're
saying ni l N I L N I L that's
where we want our money. Now, sure are we gonna
see facilities just be ignored.

Speaker 4 (01:40:26):
Now, I don't know if you ever see it all
we ignored. Yeah, the man right there, the man, myth,
the legend, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:40:32):
Barkley coming over. I don't think they'll be ignored.

Speaker 4 (01:40:35):
What you're gonna see is infrastructure just just go downhill. So,
for instance, everybody's got this pot to spend, right, Well,
some schools are gonna be able to spend in the
pot and not hurt their infrastructure, their nutrition staff, the
food the players eat, the strength staff or the academic staff.
Other schools are gonna say, you know what, we're gonna
spend on players and we're not gonna spend on the
infrastructure now, so the experience is gonna be diminished. Kids

(01:40:56):
are gonna say, yeah, I'm happy I'm getting money from
such and such school, but you know what you're not
getting a nutritionis, you're not getting academics, you're not getting
the best food. They're gonna have to say, you gotta
get that when you're on check, because we're paying you
got to go do that.

Speaker 2 (01:41:07):
You're own check.

Speaker 4 (01:41:08):
And so now we're not getting quite the same infrastructure
that builds the core around the player.

Speaker 2 (01:41:15):
You know, So let me ask you about this. The
balance was talking to dial for about it. I didn't
I didn't ask you about this, but I asked you
about it. I'm strategizing. I'm I'm run.

Speaker 4 (01:41:28):
I got the Georgia Bulldogs. We're always gonna be in
the mix. Okay, there's the there's.

Speaker 2 (01:41:32):
The great high school player, there's a transfer portal. Then
there's my guys who are trying to get into port
What how do you are you having to rethink? There's
got to be a little bit of all of it, right,
I mean I got to have that transfer portal, but
I can't just ignore the high school stud right.

Speaker 4 (01:41:50):
What's the balance? Well, the balance is what you need, right,
I need? You know, did I hit on my high
school guys? I signed five DB's Okay, I went four
for five. What do we need this year? And then
you got to go to the portal and get what
you needed. Some schools have to go to the portal
to get everything. You know, other sports are turned to that.
Baseball is a upside down. I mean they're one hundred
percent portal because what they can get at the lower
level in baseball is better than what they can get

(01:42:11):
in the high school level for the most part, because
the best high school players don't go to the draft.
So it's it's really you know, football is a little different.
They need to come to us to develop, so they
gotta go. But you still get a little farm system
going where a really good player that got missed moves
up through the portal or what you need comes out
of the portal. But you can still go get a
great high school player and he can impact your roster.

(01:42:33):
Nate Fraser for us a great back, right. He came
in and played as a freshman, right, So that still
happens in football.

Speaker 2 (01:42:39):
So let's talk a little bit about the first year
of the playoff. When you I mean, if you gotta win,
you're looking. You look at Ohio State. Obviously they were
the best team of the country. They proved it. I mean,
it's it's it's it's a long.

Speaker 4 (01:42:55):
Way to that end.

Speaker 2 (01:42:57):
How did that feel is? I mean, we all wanted
it as fans. How did it feel You're one to.

Speaker 4 (01:43:04):
You, Well, it felt grueling for at least for me
personally in our conference because of the schedule and what
we had to play and then the championship game. I mean,
it's tough when you go through You've got sixteen teams
that are really competitive and good.

Speaker 2 (01:43:18):
It's grueling.

Speaker 4 (01:43:18):
And then the schedule, you know, especially for us on
the road, was tough, but the schedule is gonna be
tough for everybody every year in the SEC. Whether you
say it's balanced or not, it's hard, but it makes
it really tough to go through that and play that
many good teams. We probably had more injuries than we've
had and made it tougher. And look, say what you want,
we saw the product of what the more teams meant.

(01:43:39):
When Ohio State past years would not have been in that,
they would not have been in the four. Now you're right, okay,
so now not only are they in the four, they're
in the big number and they.

Speaker 2 (01:43:47):
Go win it.

Speaker 4 (01:43:48):
You know, it's a little more in basketball is where
you get hot and the team that's playing best at
the end.

Speaker 2 (01:43:54):
And they did get hot and they had a favorable
I mean, they were great team. They deserved the national championship,
but you know when they hit that playoff that was
a favorable road.

Speaker 4 (01:44:02):
Well they went through Oregon, Yeah, right, yeah, well, I
mean that they had to play some good teams and
well that's true. Of course they kind of revealed orgon
to maybe they played well at ten team they had
beat they came back, they were hot.

Speaker 2 (01:44:12):
Hard to beat a team twice and they were hot.
I mean they had their act together then too, and
then the last thing. Then I'll let you go on that.
So when you're saying back on the kids a little bit,
there needs to be maybe a cap. There needs to
be some sort of punishment like it would be for
a coach. You made that point. Yeah, I can leave,
but when I leave, there's a buyout, right y'all. You

(01:44:33):
know what maybe wish school, but.

Speaker 4 (01:44:37):
This system right now, if I go hire a receivers
coach from Shane Beemer and James Coley, we got to
pay what he owes to.

Speaker 2 (01:44:44):
To to get him.

Speaker 4 (01:44:45):
You know, there's got to be a compensation balance there
in terms of being able to do that.

Speaker 9 (01:44:49):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:44:49):
I know that's the pointing towards making them employees, but
it would make everything, make everybody think twice about diving
in the portal to say, you know what, to carry
this tag and have a little more structure and gotta
have a little mo and the cap, but only want
the cap so that the freshmen don't make more than
the older guys. The older guys are ones on TV
getting the true revenue, the true nil values, and the
kids that are older they should make more than the

(01:45:11):
kids coming in. So the CBA fixed that for NFL.
They didn't have guys coming in as rookies making more
than the old player.

Speaker 2 (01:45:18):
No, you're well, what we always do as human beings.
We needed to do something for the players. And what
we did is the pendulem now has swung so far
the other way. We got to pull it back a
little bit and get some structure.

Speaker 3 (01:45:28):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (01:45:29):
Thanks for taking time to be with us. Go ahead
and get warmed up and hit of you. I need
to okay, all right, Thanks Kirby smart taking time visiting
with us today, and get some breakfast.

Speaker 4 (01:45:36):
To it's great in there by the way, Thank you
appreciate your coach.

Speaker 2 (01:45:39):
So we we'll come back. We got more to do,

Speaker 2 (01:46:55):
Let me tell you something a coach slash Senator. When
I looked over and saw you hanging out with Gary
hey Uh from Chilton County, I thought, let me go
over and get you useless. What kind of conversation was that?
And you said you found out something that Gary voted for?
Is it true?

Speaker 11 (01:47:13):
Well?

Speaker 13 (01:47:14):
I think he's got a little bit Democrat in y.
You do, yeah, Gary, Yeah, maybe okay, maybe maybe nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:47:21):
Gary's stay over the over there, just keep talking. He's
in the closet, all right. So uh he's gonna give
you for that.

Speaker 11 (01:47:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:47:28):
So good to see you. Yeah, good to see you.
You look good, you're feeling good.

Speaker 13 (01:47:31):
Oh, my god, I tell you what. First four years
I was up there, we took a beating from the
socialist communists by my administration, and I mean we were
sinking in quick sandfast. And thank god President Trump got
elected and people woke up and said, no, no, we're
not giving our big yeah in a big way. And
and uh, you know, it's just been good to in

(01:47:51):
one way. It's been good to work with him.

Speaker 2 (01:47:54):
My god.

Speaker 13 (01:47:55):
For four months. We ain't slowed down. I mean it's
different and it is totally different, and he's making progress
every day and everything. You got to think about it now,
when you if you run a football team, you got
one or two problems President Trump. Oh, he inherited a
absolute disaster, not just in our country, in our borders, Mexico, Canada,

(01:48:18):
all over the Middle East, all over Europe. I mean,
you got to think about this. And I'm going to
say this, Europe's gone. They got to Europe for the
last fifteen years, you know, immigration, illegal immigration, it just
just killed them. And so we don't want to go
down that path. We were the last big apple on
the tree, and they went after us, and they went
after us full force to try to overrun our country

(01:48:40):
with illegals and bankrupt us and everything, you know, runner education.
They've done a pretty good job of it. But we're
coming back. You know, Americans have stood up and said
enough of this nonsense is enough.

Speaker 2 (01:48:53):
And you know, and some of the things that we're
done early, we're now seeing that everything's starting to shift economically.
Now that's starting to move a little bit. You know,
there was a little bit of shock to the system
that you're going to have.

Speaker 4 (01:49:02):
Well, you got to do it.

Speaker 13 (01:49:03):
Yeah, he had to do the tariffs. I mean, it's
the only way we can pay this thirty seven tree
and debt off. American taxpayers can't pay it off. I
mean they pay in what four point nine three in
a year, and we spend that in the first seven
months and then we've got to find money from other places.
And so it's got to come from tariffs, other countries. Basically,
we've had a party here in this country for two

(01:49:23):
hundred fifty years. Everybody else, all the other countries have come.
They've not brought gifts or or food or anything and
offered to help you pay for the band. They've all
come in and just taken what they what they can
get and lived off the American taxpayer in our country.
Game's over. We can't do that anymore. We have been
so gracious to everybody, and it's time that we took

(01:49:44):
care of Americans and people in this country first, and
then we can help. But we've got we've it's all
flipped on us. And that's what communism and socialism is
is just have a group of power hungry people, not
just for this country. You know, the Democrats want to
take over for the world. I mean, this just was
not just taking us over, because they, as I said,
they've already taken over the other countries around, most other

(01:50:05):
countries around the world.

Speaker 2 (01:50:07):
And everything seems to be trending in the right direction.

Speaker 11 (01:50:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:50:09):
Now, you did you fly here on the new plane
that Trump dis jined me? Yeah, from Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 13 (01:50:15):
Well, they went after him on the floor yesterday before
I left I flew here last night and I went
right back at him. My gosh, folks. I mean, you know,
they offer a four hundred million dollar gift to the
not to Trump. I mean, this is to us. You know, Boeing,
which is an American company. We can't make in our
plane right now. I mean, they're so far behind and
making planes, but they did make this one. This is

(01:50:36):
an American made Boeing seven forty seven that I don't
know where the President will ever get on it. But
you know, if they want to give it to us, fine,
and uh, you know, we give other people things, they
take it. It's not a bribe, you know where you know,
we we still do have friends in the Saudi's and
and the UAE's friends, and they're going to help us

(01:50:57):
solve all the problems in the Middle East. But that
the media in this country is just so overbalanced in
terms of socialism and communism, and most of them don't
know what they're doing, you know, they just they just
see that. Ohle President Trump's a crooked No, you just
saw a bunch of convicts in the last four years
because they stole Look look what Doege has found. And

(01:51:22):
the Democrats are so mad that their cheese now is gone,
that they can't steal all the money they've been stealing.
And everybody's saying, well, what's coach talking about. Folks, You
have been robbed. You have been robbed by the federal
government in Washington, d C. For years and years year,
not just Democrats but Republicans. President Trump is trying to
get that balance back out. And the one thing that
I'm proud of about President Trump, He's putting God back

(01:51:44):
in our country. And folks, if we don't do that,
it's going to be over. So that's all good news.
You saw how bad it was. Do you want to
make some announcement on the show to no. No, you know,
I've had a lot of people come to me and
want me to run for governor. Okay, Uh. President Trump
is uh you know, he's adamant that he has good

(01:52:04):
people in the Senate. So we do have a lot
of rhinos. Everybody knows that I want and I've my
wife and we've talked about it and prayed about it.
I want to do what's best for people Alabama. I've
gotten to the point where, uh, you know, my God,
what I've learned in the last five years in politics.
You know, I didn't know anything about.

Speaker 2 (01:52:22):
Politics, but were you shocked at what you found?

Speaker 13 (01:52:24):
I'm absolutely floored, floored, And uh uh, you know I
can help either way. And I'll make a decision here
in a couple of weeks where can I help the
most of the people in Alabama. And that's true, I
don't I don't care about being called governor. I don't
care about being called senator. Everybody calls me coach. This
is not an eager I could care less. I want

(01:52:45):
to help now. We've got a lot of capabilities and
things going on here now because President Trump, what's he doing.
He's sending the power and the money back to the states,
right and so if I make that decision and do
governor will know how to do it. We'll know how
to put things together. Other will know how to make
Alabama better as the other states will and governors because
even the Blue states, He's given the power back to

(01:53:07):
the states and let them run it now. Unfortunately, these
blue states have a different idea how to run their state,
which is run it in the ground and and not
do it the right way. But well, while make a
decision and what's the best again, it's uh, you know,
an opportunity either way. And again, President Trump is that

(01:53:27):
God that got in where I do have this choice
that I can pry.

Speaker 2 (01:53:31):
I'm torn on it. I'm torn on it. You and
your wife got to find out what God wants you
to do. But I hate to lose, like you just
talked about in the Senate, because that's such a powerful
branch there and the Senate it's got so much influence.
But then I see the being specific to the state
versus the whole country. I see all that that's up
to you to decide. I'm torn on it, though, you know,

(01:53:52):
and I started, I thought about you. I laughed my
head off and I won't say anything else about it.
So we're doing a lot of stuff, you know, with
men's in ministry and their book, my travel to go
to Seminole, Texas to speak for the weekend. Look, look
he's already not So I'm talking to the travel guys
and I'm like, are so where am I going? They said,
were You're flying into love it? And when he when

(01:54:13):
they said.

Speaker 4 (01:54:13):
That, don't start speedy, what's that? I said, I'm gonna
text and say guess where I'm flying.

Speaker 13 (01:54:20):
Yeah, And so Hey, y'all almost stop my political career
and in deadness tracks, all my buddies called me and
they still call me on that.

Speaker 2 (01:54:34):
Well, so I just thought I'm so going to say,
is I want you to know that I'll be flying
into Lubbock in June.

Speaker 13 (01:54:38):

are negative about every place of course here and I

Speaker 2 (01:56:04):
Here we are on location beautiful gray Stone Golfing Country Club.
Coach Kaylin dpoor is with US head football coach University
of Alabama and h coach. Welcome back. Good to see
you again. I know you've talked to so many people
you might not recall you and I meeting last year here.

(01:56:25):
I called a little flak because you know, I was
welcome you to the state of Alabama. I mean it
was like a welcome wagon, and I wanted to be
sure that your roletide was up to par, and we
worked on it a little bit and I thought your
role tides were great after that, So yeah, it mean
what happened, well, you know, we worked on a few
different role tides and you know it was new to you,

(01:56:47):
and I didn't want you to go out into the culture.

Speaker 4 (01:56:50):
You know, I appreciate you. You're new here and always
looking You've got some sort of role tide that sounds
a little awkward, and you really dialed it in and
I guess what I'm saying, I take ready for that?

Speaker 2 (01:57:00):
Yeah you can.

Speaker 21 (01:57:02):
I mean I remember this a year ago right here,
same spot, Thames Foh yeah, I appreciate uh. When they
got through this, probably through the year, probably through the
season for sure without you.

Speaker 2 (01:57:11):
Well, I heard you say it a few times and
I would just look at my wife and I would say,
my work is done here. Uh no, hey, hey, just
uh well, here we go. Uh college football. It's an
interesting landscape right now. And I've talked to some of
your coherts and the sec that have already been here
earlier on the show. They're all like, boy, we sure
would like a little structure. Be great. You know, it's

(01:57:32):
it's a little bit of wild wild West right now.
And and of course then you know you roll right
into here's the playoff. What a what a first year?
Fans were excited about that. As as a coach, what
what was the atmosphere last year? Because it felt like
last year we just said to every team, every coach Hey,
here comes lots of changes, a whole new world, and

(01:57:54):
we just took it and we dumped it in your
lap and said good luck with it.

Speaker 4 (01:57:58):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:57:58):
Did I mean you literally just having to figure it
out as y'all all went last year?

Speaker 21 (01:58:02):
Are you talking about in college football? College football? Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:58:06):
Yeah, well out you were in the middle of Adam mean,
you had a lot of change going on. You take
on a new program, then the whole world of college
football is changing while your life is changing. Did it
feel overwhelming at times?

Speaker 21 (01:58:17):
Well, I mean I've been around long enough, you know,
you just got to keep adjusting. And uh, you know,
as much as it kind of it comes quickly, Uh,
you can kind of see it developing. And I'm fortunate
I got a lot of great people around me, whether
it's my staff, our administration. Uh, just you know, like colleagues,
in the in the business just of of college athletics.

(01:58:39):
So you know, there's a lot of people you can
you can kind of look to and and look for
insight advice. But I think, uh, yeah, you just you know,
you got to adjust. And I feel like we're pretty flexible,
flexible in the way we do things within our program. Yeah,
I know, what I want to do. I know what
your your foundations are, foundation is but uh, you know,
I think that's always been the case. Is you got

(01:58:59):
to us with the times, whether it's the X and
O s, the style of recruiting, the timeline of recruiting,
how you build a staff.

Speaker 3 (01:59:07):
You know.

Speaker 21 (01:59:08):
Just I think there's a lot of flexibility you got
to have.

Speaker 4 (01:59:09):
And that's that's in anything, not just.

Speaker 2 (01:59:11):
Sure did you did you find when you go to
a place like Alabama. That's the tradition of championships and winning.
But but your it's your, it's your it's your program
now and you know what what is? What do you?

Speaker 4 (01:59:26):
There?

Speaker 2 (01:59:27):
Are you?

Speaker 4 (01:59:27):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:59:27):
To me, some of the greatest and I watched you
do some of this leaders are when they go, well,
I'm going to change where I think we need to change,
But if something's not broke, I'm not going to go
in there and just change for the sake of change.
What is that balance of I want to I have philosophies,
they're your own philosophies. They've been proven to win. You
certainly have won everywhere you've gone. Uh, but yet this

(01:59:48):
program is already in good shape. What's that feel? As
as opposed to I'm coming in and we got to
fix this thing.

Speaker 21 (01:59:53):
Yeah yeah, I mean it definitely wasn't the case right
like most times it is, you come in I think,
and so those the unique situation with a twelve and
two team in twenty twenty three going to the semi
final game, coach Saban doing so many great things here.

Speaker 2 (02:00:08):
You know, you always when.

Speaker 21 (02:00:10):
You what I've learned over the years, when you when
you go to a new place, I don't care if
it's coordinator, head coach. You always have to to make
sure you you stick to the things that you really
feel strong about, because it's.

Speaker 2 (02:00:20):
Kind of who you are.

Speaker 21 (02:00:21):
It's what's uh, it's what you got you there. But
you also got to make sure you're really listening. You're listening,
you're hearing, you know internally, whether it's you know, understanding
the roster, makeup, the leaders, how things were set up,
you know, always learning. I think that's until until the
last day I coach football. I hope I'm you know,

(02:00:43):
looked at as someone who continues to learn. I think
that's the key in life. But that was certainly the case.
I think there was a mix of I know, how
to pull things together when you know, with certain changes
that we made and this is how I've always done it,
and this is why.

Speaker 11 (02:00:56):
We do it.

Speaker 21 (02:00:56):
Yeah, there's always a reason, right, but also understanding like
why were some of the things that we're done out
here at Alabama, what is critical to the culture of
what has won here, how things are done, how people
how people like to see and view Alabama football. Just
constantly listen and trying to morph some of those things

(02:01:18):
into what your foundation is, your non negotiables. What you
really find is that most of the non negotiables are
really the same when.

Speaker 2 (02:01:26):
You're talking about championship.

Speaker 21 (02:01:27):
Yeah, I mean, it's just it's it's just the little
touch that you put on it that comes along with
who you are as a person or what your experiences are.
But I'm really really fortunate to have a combination of
coaches and staff that we're here, mixed in with the
people that I brought in, whether really only a couple
of them that came with me from Washington, and just

(02:01:48):
kind of a mixed and match. So that's the exciting
part now is we've had a year of experiences together,
both with the players, with the staff. We understand where
we got to continue to grow where we got to
continue to develop. And you know everyone's I think aligned
more so now, not because they didn't want to, but
just because those experiences in that time together helps with
the relationships and such real quick.

Speaker 4 (02:02:10):
And you got to go, Milrow, you feel good it.
Can you think he'll transition to an NFL quarterback?

Speaker 2 (02:02:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:02:15):
I think there's always a learning curve.

Speaker 21 (02:02:17):
Sure care if it's to college, I don't care what
position it is. Quarterback is going to be the biggest
one that you know, just a lot to that's gonna
be on your plate when you get to that that level,
the next level. It was for high school kids to
quart college, it will be that way.

Speaker 4 (02:02:31):
From college to NFL.

Speaker 21 (02:02:32):
And so you know, Jalen's again a guy that has
humility and knows he doesn't know it all yet and
knows he's got room for improvement. I think that's just
what he'll you'll see from him is a continued growth.
You know, you're excited about that next part of the
journey for him, and you know he's got a lot
of just great attributes that will.

Speaker 2 (02:02:54):
Separate himself in different ways.

Speaker 21 (02:02:56):
But also he understands that he's got some areas that
he can work on that can make him elaite.

Speaker 2 (02:03:00):
Well, thank you for taking time.

Speaker 4 (02:03:02):
I appreciate to you being I know everybody's pulling you
in a lot of directions. It means a lot that
you come out expensed with. Yeah, my pleasure. It's good
to see you again. And roll type roll tied there
see there there it is. My work is done here,
all right, thank you coach coach Kaylin de Boor heading
over here, gonna see if he can't get it, get
loose and see if he can get out on the course.
And if you get a chance to come by, you'll
see him moving around on the course today.

Speaker 2 (02:03:23):
Be sure and give him a roll tide as well.
All right, So we we also have we've we've been.
It's it's been this thing with Taylor Hicks today and
there here he comes. He's making his way over here. Now, Taylor,

Speaker 7 (02:03:54):
Uh.

Speaker 22 (02:03:55):

in Alabama.

Speaker 2 (02:03:58):
I saw the bus come into town and I thought,
is Taylor already own it.

Speaker 17 (02:04:03):
Yeah, you know, I uh, I've been known to make
a couple of laps in that thing.

Speaker 4 (02:04:07):
I know, you have. It's a whole new meeting to
grip it and rip it.

Speaker 3 (02:04:11):
You know.

Speaker 17 (02:04:13):
He was one of my first celebrities that I ever
played with twenty years ago at the Bob Hope Celebrity
Classic in Palm Springs. And uh, there's a lot of
phases that he's gone through since then. Yes, and he's
on a pretty good face. He's in a pretty good phase.
I think we've got I think we've got.

Speaker 22 (02:04:31):
Some more years.

Speaker 4 (02:04:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:04:33):
At one time, let's be honest, we didn't think we
had many.

Speaker 4 (02:04:35):
Years if John left.

Speaker 2 (02:04:36):
No, but but but but we do. Now he's in
a good.

Speaker 22 (02:04:39):
Kind of He's kind of toned it down a lot.

Speaker 2 (02:04:41):

mind where we started, so I have to keep that
in mind.

(02:09:45):
doing great. You look fantastic.

Speaker 4 (02:09:47):
I don't know about all the ian.

Speaker 2 (02:09:48):
Every time I see you since retirement, you look more
and more rested.

Speaker 19 (02:09:52):
Well, it's easier when you don't have to work fourteen
hours a day.

Speaker 2 (02:09:55):
Yeah, so what you're filling time?

Speaker 4 (02:09:57):
You know, I know, I know you're still got a
lot going on, but it's nothing compared to what it was.

Speaker 19 (02:10:02):
No, but I enjoy it. You know, being on game
day keeps me involved in the game, and it's a
different perspective.

Speaker 3 (02:10:09):
You know.

Speaker 19 (02:10:09):
When you're coaching a team, you kind of look at
everything through a straw, and doing this you kind of
look at everything from a thousand feet and it's really
kind of interesting. Gives me something to do. Doing the
draft is a lot of preparation and work, so that
gave me something to do. And I speak here and
there and everywhere, So doing really well. You know, Miss

(02:10:31):
Terry gave me ten commandments of retirement the day I retired,
and in one week she said, obviously ten's not enough.

Speaker 4 (02:10:42):
That a lot of truth in that, so when you
were doing the game day working with Corso and being
his last year, what was.

Speaker 19 (02:10:48):
That like, Well, Leak Corso is a phenomenal person. He's
a real professional. It's been a part of the show
and the tradition of the show for you know, twenty
some years, and we're all going to miss him. But
you know, I think that, you know, it was his
decision to do that. He's going to be on one
more show with us, which we all look forward to.

(02:11:10):
But just a great guy and uh, you know, great
for the game of college football and has been great
for a lot of fans for a lot of years.
And I think tradition of him, you know, putting that
mascot helming on at the end of you know, every
show is something that everybody looks forward to.

Speaker 2 (02:11:28):
That's not going to be your job, now, is it.

Speaker 3 (02:11:30):
Well, I hope not.

Speaker 4 (02:11:32):
I mean so I don't I just don't see you
in that role.

Speaker 9 (02:11:35):
I don't think that's.

Speaker 11 (02:11:38):
Probably not my decision.

Speaker 4 (02:11:40):
Yeah, so you're saying they could ask all right, here
comes Barkley now to turn our interview upside down. Hey,
Charles Charles, somebody Charles Charles, I'm talking to coach Saban
you're just walking up in here right in the middle
of it. I mean we're having we're having our own discussion.

Speaker 10 (02:11:53):
Well, you're talking to the greatest ever. So I just
want to listen. I might learn something, Yeah, I don't
think so.

Speaker 2 (02:11:58):
You saying that you're gonna live and learn.

Speaker 10 (02:12:01):
Yeah, that's that's part of being successful in life. You
can always learn. That's one of the problems some of
these fools out here think they had learned everything. You
can always learn, no matter how old you are.

Speaker 4 (02:12:11):
Yeah. Well, when you get to the point where you
think you need to learn anything, you're a loser. Now
that's true. I mean I'm sitting here at sixty and
I'm still in meetings. People tell me that I need
to improves sixty.

Speaker 19 (02:12:23):
That's one thing about being retired, y, you know, as
I've been able to learn a lot about other things. Yes,
you know, for years and years and years, all you
did was coach and worry about coaching and players and
developing and you know, recruiting.

Speaker 9 (02:12:38):
And all that.

Speaker 19 (02:12:39):
But now you have time to learn about you know,
construction business, our businesses, you know, meet interesting people.

Speaker 11 (02:12:47):
It's it's been.

Speaker 10 (02:12:47):
It's great on television too, it's been fun watching you
or you're my favorite, thank your coach. It's fun just
like because you've been so guarded rightfully so, because you know,
dealing with the media, which I'm I'm part of. I
love when they say that's what he said, but this
is what he meant. I'm like, no, I'm pretty sure.
I'm pretty sure I said.

Speaker 2 (02:13:08):
What I meant.

Speaker 10 (02:13:09):
You always have said, yeah, you don't get to tell
me like I love it when they do that, Like, no, man,
he said what he meant. Don't tell me what you
think he meant. It drives me crazy. But you're doing
a fabulous job.

Speaker 11 (02:13:19):
Oh, thank you.

Speaker 2 (02:13:20):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (02:13:20):
It was odd to see you as part of the
media coach, and we talked about that last year, but
you see, you know, I don't you know you as
a coach. It sounds like you have been able to
say I know what it's like down there, and I'm
gonna handle this job the way I wish people would have.
I never hear you being overly critical. I mean, you
give your opinion, but has that been hard.

Speaker 19 (02:13:39):
Well, you know, I think the media has a tremendous
responsibility to help fans sort of understand the game better.
Understand what's happening out there better. And I think you know,
my perspective has never been to create news. It's been
just to try to be informative so people have a
better understanding of it. And you some of the experiences
that I had to, you know, kind of relay that

(02:14:01):
onto him.

Speaker 2 (02:14:02):
Do you think Charles will be coachable?

Speaker 10 (02:14:04):
Oh yeah, yo, man, anybody who's successful, it's coachable. I
forget that. That's the only people who are uncoachable. People
who are not successful. Don't forget that. Great players want
to be coached only. I always laugh when you you know,
when players get together, like the coach don't like me.
I'm like, man, when you should please shut the hell up.

(02:14:27):
No coach ever says, hey, you know what, I'm just
not gonna play my best player because I don't like them. Like, no, man,
you need to listen. That dude wants his job. He
gonna put the best players. Like I say, when you
go into television, you have to be like, Okay, I've
always thought like a player, but now I got to
be like the adult in the room, like I gotta

(02:14:47):
be fair. And when the players get together, like man,
the coach don't like me, I'm like, okay, I'm like,
you're right, coach, don't like you. Then when you grow up,
you're like, so you think the coach was saying, No,
I'm not worried about my job.

Speaker 4 (02:15:00):
I just want to screw you.

Speaker 2 (02:15:03):
I'm focused on you. Focused. I've got this new strategy
to not play the best player. Yeah, that's right, that's
a new that's a new strategy.

Speaker 4 (02:15:09):
That's it. They got a name of people like that,
they call them unemployed.

Speaker 19 (02:15:13):
You know one thing that Charles makes a good point
that you know, people always ask me spending eight years
in the NFL what it was like to coach players,
and they all think that it's it's a bad experience.
But what you say is very true. Those guys, a
lot of them are really really good players, and they
really want to be coached. And it was never an issue.
You know, the coach guys. If they thought you could

(02:15:33):
create value by what you could teach them and help
them do, they were all in man, and I loved it.

Speaker 2 (02:15:39):
Well, it's good to see both of you, and I
know you got to go to the range.

Speaker 4 (02:15:43):
Charles, good to say, good to see you. It's gonna
be a great day.

Speaker 10 (02:15:46):
I'm playing with the greatest Elba and it's going to
be an under privilege.

Speaker 19 (02:15:49):
Yeah, well, I'm looking forward to.

Speaker 2 (02:15:51):
It, no pressure. Thank you both for taking time to
hang out with me today. It means a lot because
I know y'all. Y'all usually running higher cotton in this.
As my mama would say, We'll be back bottom of
the hour of Rick Bergers Show Live from Graystone Golf
and Country Club. There's more coming up right up to this.

Speaker 8 (02:16:09):
This is the Rick Burgers Show.

Speaker 2 (02:16:22):
All right, we're back on location Drumming Company, Celebrity pro Am.
It's been an active day. Gary has somewhat behaved and
he's been out here with us day and he's got
his Hey, I got my staff shirt on, and we're
we're now going to get a chance to continue to
visit with some of the folks that are playing in

(02:16:42):
the Celebrity pro Am.

Speaker 4 (02:16:43):
Today the debut the debut of Jamie Johnson.

Speaker 2 (02:16:48):
Jamie Johnson has never been on the show before and
I hope it goes well that he might consider being

welcome to the Rick Burgers Show.

Speaker 4 (02:17:00):
What's going on?

Speaker 11 (02:17:00):
Good morning, everybody, good, I'm doing a lot of stuff.
Some of us good, some of us good.

Speaker 2 (02:17:07):
You know, this first time I've ever met you, and
what an honor good to meet you too. I've heard
your music, love it, and of course I hear about
you a lot more outside of music. Because of Andy
Blank's Andy Blank's claims that y'all are friends. He said
that he was in one and in your first wedding.

(02:17:28):
Is that all accurate?

Speaker 11 (02:17:30):
I mean, I can look it up.

Speaker 2 (02:17:31):
Okay, look it up? Okay, yeah, it's uh. Are you
from that part of Alabama where Andy grew up? How
did y'all know each other?

Speaker 11 (02:17:40):
Why do you call it that part of Alabe?

Speaker 2 (02:17:42):
Well, because I think you know what I mean by that. Yeah,
don't that Like you don't know what I mean by
that that part of Alabi.

Speaker 11 (02:17:48):
I'm not from that part, but we were close enough
we heard of him.

Speaker 2 (02:17:52):
Okay, yeah, exactly right. Yeah, So I was telling you
Andy and I been working together for years and uh
in the book that just came out and everything else.
We've published books together and and UH work together in
men's ministry. We got we we're actually very good friends.

Speaker 11 (02:18:06):
He is one of the most unique guys I've ever
been around.

Speaker 2 (02:18:09):
That's so, that's so true.

Speaker 11 (02:18:12):
Andy's got a testimony like no other. He really does.
But the best thing I like about him is probably Brent.

Speaker 2 (02:18:20):
Well his wife. Yeah, and most people feel that way. Well,
and that's that you're not the first person to say that,
and then some people Andy was the first person. So
do you do you play? Obviously you play golf, you
wouldn't be here.

Speaker 11 (02:18:35):
I try. I mean I come at when I when
I start hitting him left and right, I just think,
hit it harder. That's exactly if I can, if I
can find some way to channel all that rage, tension
and anxiety toward that golf ball, Yeah, and then I
don't really care where it goes anymore.

Speaker 2 (02:18:55):
The beauty, the beauty of the program. Yeah, rileygh sitting
here with Jamie Johnson. You you wanting to you know,
coming up now, man, Congratulations with everything that's that's happening
with you. Man, guys like this.

Speaker 7 (02:19:07):
That's my hero man. Yeah, I've been I've been listening
to Jamie for a long time.

Speaker 2 (02:19:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:19:12):
I turned out the model everything after him, you know,
But I mean a lot of musically, that's about as
big as it gets from me. So been real fortunate
to get to rite with Jamie and be on the
road with him some we're going to tour together in November,
going out nine days together. So yeah, better be benish
Jamie for a long time. Not necessarily is golf golfing, Jamie?
You know I don't take anything from that.

Speaker 2 (02:19:32):
Are y'all Are you on the same team?

Speaker 6 (02:19:35):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (02:19:35):
Oh yeah, we're riding together.

Speaker 2 (02:19:36):
I'm driving.

Speaker 3 (02:19:37):
They asked me on bow.

Speaker 2 (02:19:38):
Well, you know nobody when it comes to the driving. Yeah,
you might want to take the wheel.

Speaker 3 (02:19:43):
On that one.

Speaker 11 (02:19:43):
Well, I can't get any more feeling.

Speaker 2 (02:19:47):
And plus somebody said they caught you on Jim Daily's bus,
So that's not good.

Speaker 11 (02:19:50):
You mean John Dave.

Speaker 4 (02:19:54):
Bus? Where's it part? I love him. He's actually the
wilder brother.

Speaker 2 (02:19:58):
Actually know Jim Daily.

Speaker 11 (02:20:00):
He's like his bus is the one that says free
candy on the side.

Speaker 2 (02:20:03):
Of So so you guys will be playing today and
you've got a tour together coming up. Jamie, how many
are you? Do you just stay on the road? I mean,
have you gotten to where you slow down a little bit?

Speaker 3 (02:20:16):
Or what.

Speaker 11 (02:20:18):
I wouldn't call it slowing down. I just don't spend
as much time out and travel as I used to.
I mean, when you first start your career, two hundred
plus dates a year doesn't seem like a lot.

Speaker 2 (02:20:31):
Wow.

Speaker 11 (02:20:32):
And then when you find out you're gone over three
hundred days a year, you start trying to pipe that
down a little bit until you get some semblance of
a normal life back.

Speaker 4 (02:20:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:20:41):
How often do you go out now?

Speaker 11 (02:20:44):
I think I would do. I still do about fifty
dates a year.

Speaker 2 (02:20:47):
Fifty dates a year, maybe a few more, yeah, and
Riley of.

Speaker 4 (02:20:50):
Course about one twenty Yeah, about one hundred and twenty.
So like when you say when you now, have they
learned any from.

Speaker 2 (02:20:58):
The I mean, leta's face it, there was a day
when once they were trying to bring you up, and
you had these things had to be promoted. A lot
of artists got drove into the ground. I mean the
tour schedules were crazy. You pointed that out, Jamie, has
that have they learned at all? Do they have they
designed it any better to try to give you some
recovery time or No?

Speaker 7 (02:21:17):
I think everybody in that town is trying to figure
out how to how to do what's going on now.
I mean similar to college football with nil and everything
coming in, you got you know, streaming, you got you know,
how people are buying tickets, how they're traveling to those shows,
whatever that is.

Speaker 4 (02:21:33):
And music's just different now.

Speaker 7 (02:21:35):
Are used to you put a CD out, puts on
the radio, people went and bought it at Walmart.

Speaker 4 (02:21:38):
Now you can download it on your phone.

Speaker 7 (02:21:40):
So I was really fortunate that I toured all over
the Southeast for a long time before I ever went
to Nashville, and I had a pretty decent fan base,
you know, so I just go play shows. I don't
let them take me to too many things that are pointless.

Speaker 2 (02:21:55):
Yeah, Like I was watching the background on Jelly Row,
for instance, and he got started negotiating with record companies.
He was already making a million dollars a year on
his own just streaming and his YouTube channel, and which put.

Speaker 4 (02:22:08):
Him in a position, you know, with a little bit
of leverage.

Speaker 2 (02:22:11):
But it really even our business, you know, it's kind
of tracking with what you guys are experiencing now. So
would you say it is it as simple as it
seems to me? Now, I put music out so you'll
come see me on tour.

Speaker 4 (02:22:24):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (02:22:24):
When we used to put we used to tour, So
you go buy my album.

Speaker 7 (02:22:27):
Touring businesses where you make money at it.

Speaker 2 (02:22:29):
Because you can't make it on music, right, But now,
don't get him started.

Speaker 4 (02:22:34):
Oh you don't get you started and release the cracking Okay, Uh,
it's unless you Yeah, and even if you wrote the
song those it's down right yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:22:43):
For to write a song and make money, it's got
to be a hit, you know, it's got to be
a big one.

Speaker 4 (02:22:47):
But yeah, the money.

Speaker 2 (02:22:48):
The consumer's got a lot of access. But trying to
monetize all that's harder than that.

Speaker 3 (02:22:52):
It's good and bad.

Speaker 11 (02:22:53):
You know, it's a different kind of business. I've been
in a few different kinds of business. Now I can
instruction and and some other things. But uh, music is
uh man, the whole system is already set up in place,
and you have to kind of find the parts of
it that work for you, right and uh and stay

(02:23:14):
with those and the parts that don't work for you
leave it alone and don't mess with it. If it
doesn't make sense to you, it's probably not gonna make
you any money, and you shouldn't divert any of your
time to it.

Speaker 2 (02:23:26):
Yeah, just what you were talking about, you were learning
Riley's earning that you've already learned that you were learning. Hey,
are you starting where? You can kind of discern now
that that right, there is a road to nowhere.

Speaker 22 (02:23:35):
It just take a while.

Speaker 2 (02:23:36):
You're gonna be just as tired. Well, they involved in
something that this benefit to Riley.

Speaker 11 (02:23:41):
He gets to have an artist like me that's already
taken every wrong turn that possibly take. Most of the times
I see him teetering down the wrong path, he sees
me coming back sweating and turn up.

Speaker 2 (02:23:55):
Yeah, I've actually told young people shoes all tore up.
I may not go that way I made. I can
tell you what to do, but I can tell you.

Speaker 11 (02:24:01):
What don't go that way? Yeah, don't do what I did.

Speaker 2 (02:24:04):
Yeah. So, and I don't know how honestly, your voice
like what I do for a living. It's similar to
what you guys do for a living, because you know,
there's no such thing. We don't have a version of
I'm going to work today and my voice doesn't work,
and I don't feel good. And you know, if you're
working some office job, you can go in there and
still take some cold medicine whatever. When the voice has

(02:24:26):
to work every single time, it's almost like it just
hangs over.

Speaker 4 (02:24:30):
I mean, I'm always thinking about that.

Speaker 11 (02:24:32):
Yeah, yeah, the vocal coach. There's things you can do. Yeah,
you know usually. I mean I've had one bring me
back from Larry and jaiis to roar and lack a line.
Are you serious within about twenty minutes? Now, you didn't
always have it. You probably burned it out early on.
These are things you had to learned, right, You have
to learn what not to do, but you also have
to learn how to warm up on days when you're
absolutely war out right.

Speaker 7 (02:24:54):
A lot of it has to do with how late
you stay up and celebrate the show after once you
realize you can't do that every night you was last
a little longer.

Speaker 2 (02:25:01):
Sleep is actually very crucial.

Speaker 3 (02:25:03):
It is.

Speaker 11 (02:25:03):
And what time did you eat that cheese burger?

Speaker 3 (02:25:06):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (02:25:06):

Speaker 4 (02:25:13):
Thank y'all for coming by and visiting with us and

Speaker 11 (02:25:28):
We had a mutual friend and Tim Wilson. Oh gosh,
I loved him.

Speaker 2 (02:25:32):
And I missed Tim. You know, there were a lot
of people that tried to do, you know, comedy music.
I think Tim because some of it is silly and
it's not clever. Tim was so clever on his lyrics
and and and the melodies he would choose, and his music,
and course his commentary was hilarious too. But you know,
you've heard that before. Somebody writes the songs that here's

(02:25:54):
a comedy song you listen to and you go, you know,
And but Tim's were you know.

Speaker 4 (02:25:58):
I mean, he put you and Chuckie Cheese with Chucky Cheese.

Speaker 11 (02:26:01):
We got to write some songs together, oh yeah, which
is problematic for me, Yes, because the only reason those
songs make any sense at all is because of Tim.
You know. But you take Tim out of the equation
and I tell people I've written this song and this
song and that, and they look at me like it's
sick little.

Speaker 2 (02:26:20):
Tim in there.

Speaker 4 (02:26:21):
Yeah, yeah, I know you had this.

Speaker 2 (02:26:23):
I had some two hour lunches with Tim Wilson and
we talked about everything under the sun. And uh and
I mean he had he was ready to talk at
a moment's notice. It usually would show up to the studio.
We'd find him asleep the car and then come on
in and here we go. Yeah, thank you both for
being here. Love you, Bud, I love you you, buddy.

Speaker 4 (02:28:00):

It's just it's a helpless feeling that they have a
great team here, uh, Gene Holman and his bunch, Taylor
Hicks and Ellie and Ethan and Taylor Hicks, Taylor Bonds,

(02:28:20):
Jim Daily, Who's yeah, And let me tell you how
far away from that is?

Speaker 2 (02:28:23):
You know who Jim Daly is. He's the I who
is the main guy focused on the family. Okay, I
couldn't have been further away. Yeah, so that's what you went.

Speaker 4 (02:28:31):
But you know Piccher, how different John Daly? Oh yeah, oh,
I know. They really enjoyed that. But you know they're
only as good as as the people we were gonna
interview as good too. By the way, Gary's choking on
his food while we talk.

Speaker 2 (02:28:44):
You okay, what's what are you choking?

Speaker 4 (02:28:47):
Why are you?

Speaker 2 (02:28:48):
Why are you?

Speaker 4 (02:28:51):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (02:28:52):
So I've watched Gary.

Speaker 4 (02:28:53):
We can't take him anywhere. I thought it was Greg.
We couldn't take anywhere. You can't take that man anywhere. Hey,
this is haven't opened this? Give it to him? We
get a choking and so.

Speaker 2 (02:29:05):
Finally eating because you can't eat, you know you can't eat,
and watching you. So I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna
do your record, Speedy's record. Okay, your record.

Speaker 4 (02:29:14):
Speedy today you went one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight nine, ten, you went ten and one today.

Speaker 2 (02:29:22):
I'm not going to take all the credit. Greg Gregs
Greggs with me on greg A. So we only missed
one interview that was scheduled today. That was Bo Jackson, right,
he threw rump at us.

Speaker 4 (02:29:31):
That's fine.

Speaker 2 (02:29:31):
I don't even know that he thought he even knew
we were here. He may not, who knows, but it's
all right.

Speaker 4 (02:29:36):
And Taylor Hicks and you talked to him about that.
He didn't get the message on the time. But now
I don't think you'd have been here anyway after what
John Daly and he did.

Speaker 2 (02:29:43):
Well, he got on John Daily's bus, and when he
got on John Daly's bus, him when he walked onto
that bus, I will tell all of you this six
fifty went away.

Speaker 4 (02:29:53):
Yeah in the morning, did it?

Speaker 2 (02:29:54):
Did you know?

Speaker 4 (02:29:55):
We were talking to him all air when we were
having to tell him. Unfortunately, we didn't have a whole
lot of time, and he understood about he and John
Daly's relationship and how far back it goes. And if
you followed Taylor Hicks on social media, you'll see John
Daly and some of the posts. But that story, Greg,
you were in on it. It was a pretty cool
story about how far back they go and John Daly's

(02:30:15):
dad and all that. It was just a really cool
story and I wish we'd had time to hear it.

Speaker 2 (02:30:19):
Did you see Greg acting like he was also into
that story?

Speaker 4 (02:30:21):
I think you really were. No, he was what it
has to do with music and stuff like that. He's
all in brother so and Hobie is on the set
and I will tell everybody.

Speaker 2 (02:30:31):
And I'm terrified, even though maybe I just couldn't see
good now it's a little over five he Davy sent
it to it. Well, I'm terrified because I made an
executive decision. Yeah, at the bottom of the hour, right,
and it was an eive executive decision. This is the
problem with these shows on location and how they're fluid.
You're supposed to have ten minutes with a guest. If
they get here on time, well then they don't and

(02:30:52):
they sit down. You've got four minutes. I had four
minutes with Nick Saban and Charles Bark right, and I
just made the executive decision for the audience. I'm not
gonna stop, I'm gonna I'm gonna find a I'm gonna
give them more time. So I went past the hard
break at the bottoms understandable, but I made an executive
decision that I'm gonna pick the audience over all this

(02:31:14):
other stuff. Now it appears right now our broadcast clock
is completely out of whack. And uh, and I don't
know what's happening now. So you sent me a picture
of clock. I think we're okay, are we?

Speaker 4 (02:31:24):
Yeah? Okay, I hope that there was just a break
that was loaded with an extra or something.

Speaker 2 (02:31:29):
Yeah, but yeah, okay, Okay, you're good. I get it though.
I get it though.

Speaker 4 (02:31:36):
Do you understand completely and all you've done? Great, You've
worked your buttons to how that break was longer than
it was supposed to.

Speaker 2 (02:31:40):
Be that we just had, right? No, okay, good? Well,
I think it's gotten to the point that I can't
see that they could be just overheating. Well, I can't
see the timer and I think it's overhead. Okay, so
we're good. Yeah, So but I but I think the
audience there might have been an affiliate or two that said, Hey,
wish that you wish you had done a hard break
at the bottom. Do you all agree you can't go
to when you're Nick Saban and Charles.

Speaker 4 (02:32:02):
Coach Saban and I to have touched ears by the
way ears. Yeah, I'm wearing his headphones. Listen to this
first time.

Speaker 2 (02:32:09):
Listen to me and Jamie Johnson too, first time in
Saban history, first time in Saban history.

Speaker 4 (02:32:16):
This is him.

Speaker 2 (02:32:16):
I love him in retirement. Okay, I had great respect
for him, his football coach, and I agree he is
the goat of college football.

Speaker 18 (02:32:23):
CA.

Speaker 2 (02:32:24):
Yeah, Gary still choking. Let me let me know behind
me if we lost Gary, this has never happened in
the history of Saban. I think he wanted to stay
longer and was willing to. And he as they were leaving,
he doubled back and shook my hand.

Speaker 4 (02:32:37):
Yep, and and by the way, he was done with me,
the savant. He was free of me we saw today.
He could have been gone.

Speaker 2 (02:32:43):
The Saban we saw today would have invited us to
the lake. He doubled back and shook my hand. He
smiled a few times. Right, I Don'm not a lot,
but I thought we lost Gary for a little bit. Yeah,
I look.

Speaker 4 (02:32:54):
I looked at Tuberville and I saw crocs sticking out
of his butt because you were all boy, you know you.

Speaker 5 (02:33:00):
He me and Keith me voting for Kamala Harsh.

Speaker 2 (02:33:04):
That didn't go well.

Speaker 5 (02:33:06):
Well him straight start.

Speaker 4 (02:33:08):
With, Well, Tuberville knew he had him, so he kept
pushing it.

Speaker 2 (02:33:13):
He's like, what I like when.

Speaker 4 (02:33:15):
You got that sharp and wrote Gary's name on the
bottom of his boot in case we lost him. Yes,
I will stopped too quick. Well, you know, he's like,
that's my man right there, listening Gary. I die for him,
listening Gary Sabama, Gary Sabama. I would have thought that
Gary would have been all over sabing and and you
didn't give Kaitlyn to boor anything.

Speaker 2 (02:33:35):
Are you not fired up with him being the coach?

Speaker 4 (02:33:37):
Now?

Speaker 5 (02:33:38):
Well, I don't know. He kind of talks a little funny.

Speaker 2 (02:33:40):
What sense he talks funny?

Speaker 4 (02:33:45):
Not not you?

Speaker 2 (02:33:46):
Yeah, right there, I don't get.

Speaker 4 (02:33:49):
No better now, boy, really breaking it down now, that
guy asked.

Speaker 2 (02:33:52):
Him he was sucking up and said how'd you like him?
When he held him six fingers up, He's I didn't like.

Speaker 4 (02:33:56):
Him, Man, did you go there? I had to, Yeah,
and let me just announced it the audience. The hour
that's next is the one I've been warning you about.
You think you thought it was the other ones. No,
it's this bunch when we're tired and no interviews right
because we got nothing left and we got a whole
hour show, Birches Show.

Speaker 2 (02:34:39):

Speaker 4 (02:35:21):
It's like, uh, the kung Fu when he met that

Speaker 2 (02:35:28):
All you had if you're gonna do that, scenario. You
gotta have that guy read.

Speaker 4 (02:35:31):
It couldn't have his name, You gotta have that guy

Speaker 2 (02:35:36):
I thought his name was one thing, and it would Hey,

That's all he can think about, Rick, That's all he
can think about is sixty second commercial that he does
twice a week. Come on, it's gonna take like five minutes.

Almost cussed, all.

and sponsors. Okay, we also Daddy got on.

Speaker 4 (02:36:41):
You didn't blow through it, you just delayed starting it. Yeah,
there's a difference. We've had all kinds of stuff. Sometimes

Jamie Johnson on, and I was very very excited about.

Oh?

Speaker 5 (02:38:12):

embarrassed me.

Speaker 14 (02:38:16):
He didn't respond, Jamie Johnson.

Speaker 2 (02:38:19):
He didn't wait. He said, by far, you're the most excited.

Speaker 6 (02:38:22):
I said, you are the most excited. Like he's the
one that's excited. He said, I'm the excited one. I know,
I am supposed to be the excited one, Jamie.

Speaker 14 (02:38:32):

when I was trying to say I'm the most excited
about Did you panic because of the time iranicked? And
then you started yelling at him? So I didn't even

Blakes, Oh, I'm sorry that was your moment, wasn't.

Speaker 6 (02:39:28):
Which Andy Blanks works at Ironhill Press, which is publishing
Rick's book. Just to give everybody the backstory on that,
I don't think Riley Green ever understood who Andy Blanks was.
And y'all talked about it for like four or five minutes.

Speaker 2 (02:39:39):
Well, on the show, everybody knows who Andy blanks as
we talked about him off and yes, second hand embarrassment.
Like speedy he speaks. He was, as a matter of fact, Roley.

Speaker 2 (02:40:23):
But you did it for the for the show. Yes,

You know earlier, Hey, heyert rabbit. Sincere it's just so sincere.

Speaker 2 (02:40:37):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (02:40:38):
When I was giving Gary a tour of my van
when we did the hunting trip, I gave Gary a
tour of the van which I slept in because it's
a camper van that I'm building out for family adventures
and also solo adventures.

Speaker 14 (02:40:50):
More so solo adventures, it seems yourself. Yeah yeah, yeah uh.

Now, that's the kind of thing you don't do. You
are a fan. I love you.

Speaker 14 (02:42:07):
Actually, y'all did say I love you to each other?

And then he got excited.

Speaker 14 (02:42:34):
I saved the day.

Speaker 2 (02:42:34):
And also he was the only person of the entire
group that literally took the book, looked at it, started
turning pages, and then came over and asked me to.

Speaker 14 (02:42:42):
Sign Wow, Jamie Johnson's legit.

Speaker 2 (02:42:45):
Man, do you think all that happened because you told him?
He was excited?

Speaker 14 (02:42:47):
I told him.

Speaker 2 (02:42:47):
I think I cranked him out. It all makes sense.
You listen, it all makes sense. I think he thought.
I must not realize how I think you actually helped.
But hey, yeah, that was bad.

I was stupid and nervous.

Speaker 6 (02:43:01):

hunt at beautiful Willow Oak Lodge worth fifteen hundred dollars,
located atop beautiful Spruce Pine Mountain. This is in North Alabama.

We call that the speedy package. They manage several thousand
acres of land for free range hunting. You have an
opportunity for a really good buck. Now you are responsible
for all the necessary licenses. The laws in the state
of Alabama must be followed, along with baiting laws.

was telling, actually was that he was his dad, and
he said that he had called a turkey in and
it was behind some brush in.

A tree and did not move for two hours. It
didn't move, it didn't do anything, nothing, and he could
not get it until by then he's so stuck.

And you know a lot of them we've we've visited

Speaker 18 (03:04:47):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (03:04:47):
And then you have those that it was our first
time to hang out with them, like Jamie Johnson. That

And uh, you know when when we were all fair
with hey, you remember how when Rick you know to
say right, he.

Speaker 2 (03:05:16):
Remember he did he would I thought he had he
was fine with it. I mean he started Uh. I
felt like he looked at me almost like with gratitude.

Speaker 4 (03:05:25):
I wouldn't go that far. Okay, I felt that way
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (03:05:28):
It felt that way a little bit. It just wasn't mad. Yeah. Yeah,
and and that and then we had a moment uh
and again you know, we we we went through we
did play Bob uh the bottom of the hour break,
but we didn't do a heartbreak because there was a
moment where you know how they put these things on
YouTube master Class and you know, these these things like
Andy Andrews is doing with Wisdom Harbor and and you

(03:05:50):
have these moments where you're like, okay, right now, we
we all need to be listening to this conversation. And
when Sabad and Barkley got to going and we were
all just sitting there, I'm like, well, how you gonna
cut that out of the audiences right now? We can't.
We can't interrupt this conversation.

Speaker 4 (03:06:03):
When Charles started making his comment about being coachable and
all this stuff, and then Saving said hold on, I agree,
and then he went further that was that was some
about good ninety seconds where the stuff in case you're wondering,
that was ninety seconds longer than I was supposed to
be on.

Speaker 3 (03:06:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:06:18):
Yeah, And so we did take the break.

Speaker 9 (03:06:20):
It was just a lake.

Speaker 2 (03:06:20):
It was we didn't go.

Speaker 4 (03:06:22):
Through with location. Shows are different because blowing through I
have to take things as they come blowing through it. Right, Yeah,
he got played it just so he got played in.
The crowd is really picking up now. You can tell
that everybody is out.

Speaker 2 (03:06:38):
And I think some of these early groups are probably
in the on the backside of the front nine, and
so they're going to start turning and coming in.

Speaker 4 (03:06:46):
So it'll be it'll be growth. I have not seen
this side of things, because you know I gotta wait
three hours.

Speaker 2 (03:06:50):
To tee off. I have not I have not seen
this side. So I want my two boys and it
will be fun to hang out. You know, you you
chin off later. Even though that was a kind of acted,
at least you'll get to have more time with you.
We're boys, you can be We're here for Yeah, it
was right there.

Speaker 14 (03:07:08):
I told you, what are you going?

Speaker 4 (03:07:11):
You've been worried about this tent. I have it tied down,
but the it's the winds picking up. Yeah, it's tied
down on both sides.

Speaker 2 (03:07:17):
The way to go and that nice. Uh, you weren't
getting up to help.

Speaker 4 (03:07:23):
I love I told you like he's been at her
saying I'm worried about the ten. When did you care
about this tip?

Speaker 2 (03:07:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (03:07:28):
Well when I first saw it, when I first saw yeah,
when you.

Speaker 2 (03:07:31):
Hearst saw it.

Speaker 23 (03:07:32):
I haven't heard him mentioning one word. Just hey, I
try to tell you, hey, Robert, just wait, we're not
even done.

Speaker 2 (03:07:46):
No, hey, Roy, Robert, I watched you telling about disappointment.

Speaker 4 (03:07:50):
I'll watched Gary a minute ago and he's enjoyed the breakfast.

Speaker 2 (03:07:53):
But you know there's certain there's there's certain holes out
here that are sponsored. And Gary spotted that one of
them is Golden Rule Barbecue Barbecue place him and he
walked toward that sign thinking it was gonna be like
a food truck or a food are or a concession area.
And he gets over and it ain't nothing but just
the sign saying they're sponsoring that whole.

Speaker 4 (03:08:12):
You ain't never seen somebody to look for barbecue so hard,
so disappointed. Rick got like when you talk about when
he when he wants you to stop get something, but
you don't want to say it.

Speaker 2 (03:08:22):
Oh look there's a pipe.

Speaker 5 (03:08:27):
Yeah yeah, make good hand. I don't know when a
we gonna.

Speaker 4 (03:08:36):
Do this again? Like you like you?

Speaker 2 (03:08:39):
I like roads, so you like the own location. There's
a lot of headaches. We used to do it around.
You get to make fun of folks. Gary, we used
to go to the beach just for the morning and
did the show down on the beach.

Speaker 4 (03:08:51):
It was nice.

Speaker 5 (03:08:51):
Well, why don't we do that again?

Speaker 2 (03:08:53):
You want to start doing that stuff again? Now?

Speaker 4 (03:08:55):
The technology side of things, like with this unit that
we use, now that's that's not that hard. It's just
just the logistics of of getting out and doing it.
But yeah, these these are fun. These are a lot
of fun for the one. Thank you Davey Allen who
is always he's rated dance and phone and help so
great and then super Time coming in early. That's just

(03:09:15):
and having Master I was telling Davy that having master
control taken care of really gives us a sense of,
you know, ease to where we know everything's gonna gonna work.
So that's nice.

Speaker 2 (03:09:25):
And I think technically after the first segment of the day,
I think since then we got it kind of dialed in. Yeah,
it's a little different in the one seat on location
because you don't I don't have access to all my stuff. Yeah,
you were well, I mean I didn't I know what
you were saying, not that I mean that seems.

Speaker 4 (03:09:48):
But I do know. What you're saying, though, is that
you you want to feel it a certain way in
your in your ears and your head, for you to
feel like it's full and live. And you were afraid
that wasn't gonna happen. But did it work out for you?

Speaker 2 (03:09:59):
Yeah, I I got I got to where I was okay.
And the thing, I'm sure remember when I told you
were okay, I'm okay, and you needed to hear that. Yeah.
But the thing we did not think about, and Tom
and I were talking about this too, is when we
were practicing with this piece of equipment. It was sitting
right in front of me, right here. And I know
some of you can't see perfect conditions, and so I'm
looking at I could see the meters. But when we

(03:10:21):
came here and added the instant replay and put it
off to the left, which we need to do, this
is a perfect setup.

Speaker 4 (03:10:26):
Right now, I can't see the meters. Yeah, so I
don't know when we're over. It's almost like we gotta
tilted up. Is that John David, buddy? You're so please
be quiet now, turning around now, turning around, wishing I
wasn't here.

Speaker 2 (03:10:42):
He didn't even have a beer now.

Speaker 4 (03:10:43):
Yeah, look I'm looking at I'm on the driving range
now looking out.

Speaker 2 (03:10:46):
That's not John Daye.

Speaker 4 (03:10:47):
No, I looked together. I think it was wrong.

Speaker 2 (03:10:49):
Hey, I will say this, I hope, but.

Speaker 4 (03:10:50):
He doesn't pick up on the guy in the apple.
For those of you that cannot see normally, we have
a cart path here and that's where all the carts are.

Speaker 2 (03:10:56):
That's why they call it a cart path.

Speaker 4 (03:10:58):
Have y'all even noticed that they redesigned the walking path
to where the cards aren't screaming court paths court path
Have y'all noticed that this is all open and they've
made a different flow talking about executive decisions, that was huge.

Speaker 2 (03:11:11):
You may be shocked.

Speaker 4 (03:11:12):
I did not notice that.

Speaker 2 (03:11:13):
Well, I mean, normally you have everybody.

Speaker 4 (03:11:14):
Car paths, watch out car path you know, and then
and then now iverybody's just look, they're trolling on down.

Speaker 2 (03:11:20):
Well, they knew they were gonna have to do car
a car right there.

Speaker 4 (03:11:23):
I think Robertson, I think that's what Robert. Some call
him Drew. I don't know where that came from. That's
concerning to me that. I mean, if you said, like,
I don't know anything, I'd like to say I was
thinking about something and it just came out.

Speaker 2 (03:11:35):
But I wasn't.

Speaker 4 (03:11:36):
You were some reason the legs are slow lowering now
to me my favorite.

Speaker 2 (03:11:40):
Parts with Greg tried to go with it. Yeah, I
was like, what I'm thinking, who so if I if
I don't ask for the repeat, we never know, we
never get there.

Speaker 4 (03:11:48):
I don't know, Greg just fakes. Last I thought, well,
I don't know who's talking about or who what the
story means.

Speaker 5 (03:11:54):
I'm just glad. Did I come up here and have
a good time and I didn't embarrass anybody?

Speaker 4 (03:11:58):
You did?

Speaker 3 (03:11:58):
No?

Speaker 2 (03:11:58):
No, what wouldn't you think you didn't be an embarrassing
body at all? Buddy, Well, I don't think I have. Gary.

Speaker 4 (03:12:04):
I got bad news too. I think the mood saving
was in. You might have got that hat sign if
you brought it.

Speaker 5 (03:12:09):
Oh, I wasn't gonna ask him sign hand I.

Speaker 2 (03:12:13):
Think saving one to stay y'all now y'all going through.
I think he wanted to say it's the first time
he's ever doubled back in and gave a handshake without
me asking for one. Well, he's part of the press now,
so now wow, Kendrick Spirit he looked at his handle
and said give me his number. I think we held
it together pretty well. We'll recap on tomorrow's program.
