Speaker 5 (03:09):
Don't roll up to the bank today, Okay, it's gonna
be an empty room. Uh.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
I noticed the the the and maybe I missed something.
I don't mean to be insensitive at all. It's insensitive
because this is not Memorial Day. This is Veterans Day,
and sometimes people don't know the difference. But I saw
flags at half mass yesterday. What is that?

Speaker 5 (03:29):
I've seen those? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Is it? What? Did I miss something. Okay, I didn't.
I didn't know because that that I don't I didn't
follow that. So so there we go. Something's happened. I guess.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, the the U.

Speaker 6 (03:48):
S Flag has not flown at half staff on Veterans Day,
according to just a quick.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
Yeah, I saw it this weekend.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
It was I saw them yesterday and over the weekend.
So I don't know. I don't. So. So, you know
Memorial Days when we say thank you to those that
gave their life for our freedoms, today we just thank
every veteran. Yeah, so so we we who have served
and are serving, and and we appreciate all of you
very much and the families you represent because it's a

(04:16):
sacrifice for them as well. Uh. And one of the
things I know you guys are thrilled about is it
looks like and we mentioned it in passing yesterday, but
it seems to come all the way around today that
the Senate now has ended forty one day government shut down.
The stellmate there is over, and they have sent what

(04:39):
they say is a bipartisan deal now to the House.
So the Senate they've already approved it.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
Yeah, So here we go and so we'll see the
death of vice former Vice president Dick Cheney.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Is what there you go? Okay, I need something, you
know yesterday got it? Paul tag Lobo, he sure did,
NFL commissioner and and that's I mean, that's not why
the flags are half mass. That's why I half yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
I saw that announcement. At Sunday's games, they were asking
about a.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Lot of well I heard that the the NFL is
going to do the NFL for Paul Taglibo. They're going
to do what college is doing now. And where their
pants at half mass? Okay, so so that's well half
weather they were. There were a lot of the commentary
this weekend. I was watching something games and the commentators
are tired of it too. When are we going to
quious kickers are really doing it? Oh? We like hot

(05:32):
pass for Oklahoma? Yeah, I mean, you know that's that
something's got to change there. I mean, there should be
a difference in the pants that the football players have
on and the dancers at halftime. Yeah, And I'm missing
the advantage And you're just trying to be sharp or
do you really think it makes you better? Somehow? You
the one is to know it. But I'm saying about
excuse that it makes you, well, I run better. If

(05:55):
you want to know why human beings can't be trusted, okay,
is just look at the pants situation in college. It
was simply intended to tell them they no longer have
to wear the knee pad below the knee. That's all
it was intended for. And somebody says, we know would
even be better than being up right at my knee,
a little above my knee. We don't sput it even

(06:15):
above my knee, a little further above my necke. You
know what, it's even better. Let's just go with short,
going short. It was never the intention. But you can't.
If you give people an inch, they're gonna take them
out exactly. And that's uh. You know, I think in
high school they still they'll call them out and make
them pull them down. Well, here's what I don't understand that.
Did we all of a sudden decide that knee pads

(06:36):
are not an important part of protection of the uniform.
Did we just say knees or just watt We're not
gonna protect knees anymore? That the pad that was design
to keep you from getting of those deep knee bruises,
and that's all it was designed for. It didn't keep
you from blowing your knee out, but it kept you from,
you know, taking those direct shots on your knee and
doing when those deep If you ever had one, they're

(06:57):
pretty they hurt so up. So we went knee padding.
I guess stopped. We still then, and of course the
NFL you don't have to workupads, you know, none of
them do. So there's no more. We don't care if
you get hit by a helmet or by shoulder pads
on your legs anymore. We just we don't know protection.
You know. They went from I guess in the crease
of your leg bend into them okay, y'all go a

(07:19):
little bit above that crease, and then to this, yeah
you can't great, there's never enough. And then somebody says, oh, wow,
I'm not edgy enough. It's tattoos. So one tattoo was
fine until somebody had two. And then somebody had two,
and somebody said, well, hey, I'm gonna have three, and
this somebody said, well, every if three is it, then
i'm gonna have four. And then somebody said I'm gonna

(07:39):
jump big. I'm going ten and this. Somebody said, well,
if you're going ten, I'm going twenty, you know. And
now it's like, now my whole body looks like I
that I jumped into tar at this rate, which is
by the way to look we're all looking for at
this rate. As far as the pants, it's going to
look like they got speed of its on, you know,
the little it does. I mean, eventually they're gonna get
it look like somebody coming off a doven. Bring that on, Greg,

(08:00):
We're already we're already at biking shorts already. That's where
we are. Yeah. Really, Actually they're a little high for
biking shows, and it looks stupid, especially when you're a
big old lineman. That's my favorite one. Ridiculous. I wouldn't
do it just because it looks bad. Frankly, I've got
the legs for it. But but I would not do
it because it looks ridiculous. I kind of liked looking

(08:22):
cool in my uniform. I didn't want to look stupid. Yeah,
I didn't think you're right, that's making Is that really
making me where I can kick a little further?

Speaker 5 (08:30):
I know, Hey, I mean they're going to tell you that, hey, kickers.
I mean, if the I mean, I know the NFL guys,
you know, like you're saying, they have them up a
little bit, but if they can pull off, yeah, you
don't need to pull them up all the way halfway
up to your crotch.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
Oklahoma's kicker was ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Oh, guys, that that I don't even know. So if
I had walked out with the players I played as
as teams and had those own, yeah, that's my point
in the field, and you're the only one the ridicule
would have been. So, I mean, it's so so anyway,

(09:09):
we're somebody's gonn have to do something. And I think now,
as you just said, Greg, now that the announcers in
their media that they need to be promoting the sport
now are openly and in public broadcast becoming disgusted with it.
You know, I heard Kirk kirk Street when he saw
the Oakhom guys. So that's got to be a penalty. Yeah,
we can, we can. We can't let that go on.

Speaker 6 (09:28):
And I think that was the the camel that broke
the staws back.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Know what I'm saying, It is something like that, the
fat lady that broke the camel's back.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
People have finally said enough is enough. All right, we'll
be back enough thigh is enough.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Nobody wants to look at that. Frankly, I mean before
long it's gonna turn to the male version of beach volleyball. Right,
we'll be right now.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
I have that this is the Rick Burdger's show.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Is first of all, Adaer has prepared some of that
sausage that was brought to it's what was the name
of this sausage.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Durgin Dobbin Dobbins, Yeah, Dobbins Domitry.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Sausage, Dobbin's Country sausage. You remember they came here in
the vox seats. They brought us some I remember his
name was Calvin. He was right, and he was white,
just like you are. That's right.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
Yeah, And I made a point to a.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Lot of people don't know this, but Red Dobbins actually
has lots of it. Yes, he does.

Speaker 7 (10:27):
Great.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
So this is a north one you say, north east Alabama.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah, like right right near Chattanooga.

Speaker 6 (10:33):
Yeah, Dobbin's Supermarket. They raised the hogs on location.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
And you can tell let me tell you something, you know, Adam,
you were telling me, I thought, you know, isn't sausage
kind of sausage. But I will tell you you can
tell the difference, you really can. They call it whole
hog less spongy, little more meaty. Yes, it's good.

Speaker 5 (10:53):
Let's sponge a little bit more meaty.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Let's right there.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
It's a whole hog sausage, which evidently some sausages just
like you know, some particular it's.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Like a quarter of a hog.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Right, Yeah, that's good, right there, it's very good.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Good stuff. All right. So we mentioned veterans Dame. We
mentioned the flags are half mass because of Dick Cheney's death,
not Paul tag that's right, Greg. And we mentioned that
the forty one day government shutdown may be coming to
an end Senate. They say, yes, we've approved it.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
Now going to the House, so hopefully by the saying
a boy tomorrow, yeah, be going.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
And then again we talked yesterday about that now all way,
the people have become drama queens. Yeah, okay, that just
for you, Yeah, Greg, this is one of your favorite
headlines right here. These are the ones you love. Over
one hundred and eighty million Americans brace for big freeze,
sending temperatures near record lows as far south as Florida,

(11:50):
and those of us that are in the Deep South
and even on down there to Florida, some of us
believe it or not, it will not go above freeze
until tomorrow. Actually, yeah, and today our high today goes
to fifty four. Tomorrow we struggle under seventy. So millions. Yeah,
one hundred and eighty men, we're bracing because we're bracing people.

(12:13):
And you know, there's a little front or whatever you
want to call it. Yeah, glass coming through and some
people cann be cold for a couple of days. That's yeah,
that's you know what the head and I said. Think
about if you're going to click on something, which one
of these two would you click on? Over one hundred
and eighty million Americans brace for big freeze or hey,
it's gonna be cold a couple of days and then
it'll be really warm again. Okay, the first the first one. Okay,

(12:36):
so I understand, uh, I remember one time that is dangerous.
It's that we're not talking about dangerous when we're talking
about ice storms. We're not talking about we're talking about
it got cold.

Speaker 5 (12:47):
Yeah, I mean got really cold. You know, they were
they were talking about cold weather. Last night, Green Bay
hosted the Eagles lambeau Field and it was below freezing
and all this kind of stuff, and you know, the Mannings,
they're fun. I'm sorry they and they did a pregame
interview on the main channel and they were talking about

(13:08):
lambeau Field and all that they asked. They asked Eli
what they thought about the firing of the Giants coach
and all that. And then it gets to Peyton and
he talks about playing at lambeau and he said, you know,
just a cold, rigid just I mean, I'm just just
frigid morning afternoon. And he said, but we came out
and we were all in sleeves and he said, we
were freezing. He was with the Colts and he gets

(13:30):
out and he looks over and all the Packers players
they don't have any sleeves on. It's just bare arm
and nothing, and they're just all standing there and he went, oh,
and they look like they're like going to bed.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
They just snuggled right hoodie.

Speaker 5 (13:46):
And he said it started. It's a slight snow uh.
And he said. He drops back in his own end
zone and he goes to throw it and his hands
are so cold he can't even griped the football. And
he just comes out. He falls on it and it's
a safety first first play. And but he was talking
about cold weather and playing in cold lambeau Field is
known for that. Oh yeah, and now that's cold up there.

(14:08):
You know. Look, it does get cold where we live.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
So and I don't like it. No, as I get older,
I don't like twenties. Normally we get it in spurts.
It'll come, like I said, a few days and in
a warm up, then it will go a few days.

Speaker 7 (14:19):
Now.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
I remember last year we had a pretty good run
where it was really cold for a while because my
heater was messing up.

Speaker 5 (14:24):
Back to the yeah, back to Green Bay. But if
you deal with that all the time, if you just
get a customed to it, that's part of it. That
was part of his telling the story is that he
looks over there and they're like, this is just another
night for us, or another day. And they're all over there,
got armed, they got just thermals on Rember. You remember,
they're all bundled.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Every time the coach him, I've been that game. The
coach for the Giants got like Frostby because he didn't
covers face. Remember we watched his face eat up there
they showed that too. Yeah, but look at this right now,
all right, so deep south, and this is not what
we like twenty six right now, Yeah, that ain't fun. Okay,
he likes that, all right. But today high as fifty two.
So we're coming on back, get on up there, and

(15:03):
then tonight it'll drop if we can handle it to
thirty seven, and tomorrow will struggle with sixty five. Okay.
It's just absolutely perfect. That's what I call about this. Yeah,
I'm sorry that that's not a headline. That's not that's
not a headline. I love it. You know, we've we've
got a few. I mean, I hey, we had to
do a little bitter. But look what we're getting day three.

(15:24):
We're in the sixties. Well, here's what I love about that.
Here's what I love about the freeze is the things
I don't like about living here. This little short freeze
will kill it, right, correct, yeah, correct? And now I
get to enjoy the woods more. I get to enjoy
the outdoors as it's sixty five tomorrow, right, Okay, I'll
take it. Brick millions in his path, Yeah, there's millions

(15:44):
in Bath. You know what. There's a bunch of folks here,
Friday goes across the whole thing. Yeah, so there's always
millions in its path.

Speaker 5 (15:53):
Always well, a couple of good frost get will get?
Will he get? The red bugs?

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Probably the one one that's hard. Probably Will by the way,
had to share it yesterday. Decided she wants to try
to protect protect. We've got a what's the state flower
for Alabama? Camellia, camellia. She's got a am I saying
it right, a camellia bush. And it blooms in the winter, camellia.
So it looks beautiful, and she's got all kinds of

(16:19):
bulbs on it. She's like, let's try to save it.
Let's put something over it.

Speaker 5 (16:22):
Please tell me you went up and had to put
a blanket up on it.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
I did. I put any plant that I've got to
protect from weather. Ain't gonna make it in mine now. No.
Same here. I had one when other house, when I
first moved out play the valley we built, and the
landscapeer put a hibiscus, And then I read on the
little tag that was on it that you need to
bring it in the winter. I said, I hope you
enjoyed that this year. Yes, right, it's I I'm not
digging up and bringing it in. Yeah, with it being

(16:49):
so cold.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
I know men don't run in the rain, But.

Speaker 6 (16:51):
Do men wear like one little glove so that their
hand doesn't get cold on the steering wheel when they're
driving into work?

Speaker 1 (16:56):
And they do not? Right, you have to take that
off at the intersection. In fact, they do not. Yeah,
I'll take it off, especially if you're a sweet van
Michael Jackson.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
Yes, this is the Rick Burgess show.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Boy.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
I will tell you Sherry Burgess is in love with
this Kindred Harvest. You think Sherry don't love a little
a nice little hot tea oooh me. And you know
they've got teas that can help wake you up. And
then they've got wonderful relaxing teas you can have later
in the day to kind of wind down for the day,
sleep like a little baby. And here's the beauty. Kindred

(17:36):
Harvest is all American made. Look some of this China
stuff that's coming in good. If you're worried about microplastics
and heavy metals, you don't want to be you do
not want to be drinking that. You don't want it
any cup now, Kindred Harvest, that's different. It's American answer.
Every batch third party lab tested, zero microplastics, zero heavy metals,

(17:58):
and you can drink with confidence, blended impact here in
the USA. Even the Sashet's are are are are one
hundred percent by O D grade of bull. They're heat sealed.
There's no glue, there's no ink, none of that. So
if you're looking for a boost, they got it. If
you're looking to wind down, they got that.

Speaker 7 (18:14):
Now.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Sherry told me not to talk too much about this
because the last time I did, they ran out and
we couldn't get into either. Uh but let me tell you,
she's got some of her favorites that we've been trying
all of them and she she loves that, Earl Gray,
I'm just gonna tell you, I'm gonna throw that out there.
She probably didn't want me to say it, but she
loves it. Theirs is the best, she says she's ever had.

(18:35):
So right now, go to Kindred Harvest dot Co. Kindred
Harvest dot Co. Use the code Rick for twenty percent off.
That's Kindred Haarvest dot Co for the best tea You've
ever tasted, the code Rick. A couple of things to

(18:55):
discuss that we were just men in passing. There are
reports that LSU is trying to negotiate Brian Kelly going out,
come on now fifty I sol fifty three million, fifty
four million. They're now saying fifty three million that his

(19:17):
lawyers have told LSU, oh no, no, you agreed to
fifty three million. That's what we're taking. And LSU's like, hey,
how about twenty five, how about thirty and his lawyers
apparently have come back to LSU going, we'll take the
entire fifty three thank you, we're not negotiating that down.
Probably should have thought of that when you let that

(19:37):
be part of the deal. If it's in the deal,
you have to face the wheel. Yeah, and so, but
that's a report that his lawyer's latest back to LSU, No,
thank you, we'll take the entire fifty three.

Speaker 6 (19:49):
Do you guys see did you guys see that LSU
has taken the position that they have not formally terminated
Brian Key correct, that is correct. So they're saying we
haven't fired him yet. Wait a minute, they're now seeking
to fire him for cause and to potentially avoid paying his.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
Full you go fifty four millions.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
What with the colors calls did the contract say if
you don't win enough games, we get rid of you.
I mean, are they just doing that to negotiate? That's yeah,
just go look.

Speaker 5 (20:19):
Yeah that's where are all these coaches going to come?

Speaker 1 (20:21):
But nobody made him sign the contract. They shouldn't listen,
never signed it. Every every day, tell what it was
it was. You've tried to teach the world about trying
to be short and nobody listens. LSU was so fired up.
They's all in love, you know it is. When you're
in love, you'll let him have anything. And because you think,
we ain't never gonna fire him, so why do we care.
He's get one hundred million. We're gonna keep hi the

(20:42):
rest of his life. Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 5 (20:44):
You know, timing and the setting and everything, it's all
crucial into success. And I can't imagine as an athletic
director when you have so many great coaches around the
country of going, Okay, I hope this is the right one.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
I know, welcome this year. You just hit on it
speedy because it's not just a good one. It's got
to be the right one. Yeah, there's a lot of
good ones.

Speaker 5 (21:06):
Is it a good fit? You know? Does it does
it work because there's some that you would think when
we first we first heard them, we was like, well,
that's not gonna work, and then it does. But then
you have some that's like, well that's going to be perfect.
Then it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
It's just that he was a good hire for l
s u I did.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
Yeah, uh, you know we he looked a little stiff
for it down there.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
He did talking about that. The fake Southern accent hurt.

Speaker 5 (21:30):
It did.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Try to have a little that you didn't have talk
like people and Louis Jenna now you don't.

Speaker 5 (21:35):
But if you're a current a d and you have
so many vacancies and you're try you're in season, and
maybe you're going after somebody that's in season. Uh, that's
not you know, sitting out a year or whatever. I
know the Jimbo Fishers and and all that, they're available
to talk to, but there's some that you want they're
right in the middle of a season. Well, trying to
figure that out and talk to to you know, a month.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Florida Lane Kevin. Yeah, well or us she's where he's going.

Speaker 5 (22:02):
I wouldn't saw it.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
I forgot I saw it.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
The dream.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Uh. I want to say this too, that you gotta
be careful with this perfect fit thing. Coach oh was
a perfect fit and he and he caught lighting in
the bottle one season. Yeah, but no no longevity, so
that he got a little baggage. It comes he like
have a good time. Well he can't seem to give
you a shirt on, shirt off. But he was perfect

(22:28):
for the culture. But but and then for one magical season.
I will say that the combination of the coach, you
also have to have great players. And great players a
lot of times can overcome inadequate coaches. But but bad coaches.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
He is taking his shirt off at the wedding.

Speaker 5 (22:48):
Oh yeah, he'll he'll take his shirt off.

Speaker 6 (22:50):
Really struggling with get it over his hands on his hands,
by the way, they should have unbuttoned those.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
First of all. But good coaches with bad players, they
can they can get those bad players to play the
best they can play, but they won't win championships. You
got to have players and the coach. You got to
have both. So so we'll see.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
By the way, Babylon b is owning me today, absolutely
owning me as they always do. Dave Ramsey in critical
condition after learning of a fifty year mortgage.

Speaker 6 (23:25):
Oh yeah, he's non responsive.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
So good, that's a good one. So Trump's fifty year
mortgage proposal. Yeah, he's throwing it out there. Fifty years.
Good Lord help us. I mean, that's the end of
Dave Ramsey. He'll never make it. So what what would
that is?

Speaker 7 (23:52):
That?

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Is he just trying to expand ownership through the lowest
payment possible over the longest period of time.

Speaker 6 (23:58):
Yeah, lower payment over a longer period of time is
how he's justifying it.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Understood.

Speaker 6 (24:03):
Glenn Back is not a fan. He says that sounds
like renting. That just sounds like renting.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
It's a lot like renting.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
It's not homeowner.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
And the prices of houses will go up.

Speaker 5 (24:12):
Oh yeah, one more time.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
That I you know, a thirty year to me seems
lenkedy first time home. But I sure him thankful for
that option. Yeah, you know, but fifty even, I think
even the thirty year people think fifty while So it's
never I've never paid off, So I'll never get that
done because I know we've all done it. I've been

(24:36):
as guilty of it as anybody, you know. I remember
hearing early on the Little Bird go ahead and pay
on that principle because and when you first start paying
for your house, you're just paying interest. Right, go ahead
and put some toward even if it's a little bit.
Just keep hitting that principle, yes, sir, and you'll cut
that thing down. But it's so hard to be just
but enough to do that. Yeah, you know, you go

(24:58):
this one time putting it on that principle, something breaks, Sure, okay,
next month.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
It has to be automatic it just think about it.
I don't even have to touch it.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
It has to be like the tithe you just you
don't even like, you don't even having to see it.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
I would love to see.

Speaker 6 (25:12):
Us making sure that you know, foreign foreign people aren't
foreign people, foreign people, foreign entities, foreign governments. I'd like
to make sure they're not buying homes. And these private
equity firms, I'd like to make sure they're not buying
homes because that really seems to be causing a lot
of problems when you have these houses go on the
market and then the private equity firm buys it up

(25:34):
for cash instantly.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Regular people can't compete.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
No, no, they said, that's what has you know showed And
I went to Toronto early in the year and they
said that has happened to Toronto. You nobody can afford
any housing there, No, because of what you just said,
and most of it coming out of China.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
That's concerning Top of the Hour.

Speaker 4 (25:59):
This is the Rick Burgess Show.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
So we had this story yesterday, but yesterday was so
action packed we never got to it. You know, we
were studying at the local church where Sherry and our members.
We're going through the Book of Ecclesiastes right now, and
we just studied last Sunday. You know, Solomon talking about

(26:29):
there's a time for this and a time for that.
You know, I think the standard, you know, for the
time of war was very high, even though there is
a time for that. So you know, there is a
time that you have to maybe defend yourself and there's
a time you know, to try to you know, work
for peace at all costs. And but I don't know

(26:49):
that arguing over how many eggs a chicken? Well, so
tell us Pens this story. It depends you have audio
as well.

Speaker 5 (26:59):
Uh, yeah, this will come from Adler, but apparently in Florida,
so this could be another A Florida man, a Florida man.
He was arrested for opening fire on three others after
an argument outside of bar on how many eggs chickens
can lay?

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Okay, did you say what that's just the reason how
far this escalated over? You never thought about it? Right? Yes?

Speaker 5 (27:26):
This news package courtesy of wpb F News, and they
will explain this.

Speaker 8 (27:33):
Sy say a heated conversation over chickens let a man
fire a handgun at three people outside Harper's Pub. It
happened around two thirty in the morning yesterdays. Via reporter
Angela Rozier has the body camera video of his arrest.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
Listen, don't don't go gun, don't go gun.

Speaker 9 (27:54):
This is body camera footage of forty four year old
Peter Rieira being taken into custody by ports See police.
Riia is accused of firing four rounds from a forty
five caliber clock the three people after an argument outside
the Clothes Pub. Police say once outside, the conversation became heated.
Riia became paranoid and believed the victims were out to

(28:15):
get him.

Speaker 10 (28:16):
The shooter evidently raises chickens, and the conversation was about
how many eggs a chicken can.

Speaker 9 (28:23):
Lay, armed himself with a handgun and started fire.

Speaker 10 (28:27):
Victim ran out into the roadway trying to get away
from the shooter. The other two victims head. We had
several phone calls. The shooter himself called nine to one one.

Speaker 9 (28:37):
We were at the scene as officers gathered evidence. Later
that morning, police say the victims knew each other and
id just met the suspect that night. All had been
drinking and none were hit. During the investigation, one of
the victims was arrested for resisting an officer without violence
and another for battery un a law enforcement officer.

Speaker 10 (28:54):
Harming yourself with a handgun when you're under the influence
is not a good idea.

Speaker 9 (28:59):
There's are going to be a good outcome and faces
multiple charges, imports and people.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Go back to the beginning, go back to the beginning
of the video, and let me give me one morning
here and you know the you know the visual I'm
looking for. Hey, let's don't go to a pub that's
in a strip mall. No, that's never good. I want
you to look right here and I'll tell you when
to freeze at that because I won't. All that can
see this is a good lesson today. I wait just
a second, I'll tell you right right now freeze. Okay,

(29:31):
look look at look at this visual. This guy's in trouble.
And look what's right behind me. Liquor Yep, as big
as you can see in the pub window. The word
liquor is literally over his shoulder and neon lights as
he's being arrested. Is in trouble with the law. That
visual I mean that is that visual paint would be

(29:52):
it's the picture, yes, and his overall overall shorts, straw hat.
He looks like he would know how many eggs a
chicken could like he does.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
Kind of look but I know he's not.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Can you kind of know that sometimes almost feel bad?

Speaker 5 (30:08):
Well sometimes the rich rare looks like he's got flip
flops on. Yeah, and he just has that look. Maybe
you can describe the audience how he's dressed here.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
Okay, he has on overalls that that stop at the knees. Okay,
sandals and straw hat, amish beard okay, white fella, white
fell yeah. Yeah, look look, because you know it's always
the white people that go that go to these these extremes.
Yeah you know what I mean, it'll take that. Yeah,
you know, like we said for years, we've always said

(30:39):
this through our our radio careers, and we've talked about this.
If you hear that that that there's something that's really
really odd about the shooting or the killing or the murder.
Most times it's white people it is, you know what
I mean. Anybody gets eaten, yes, yeah, if anybody gets eaten, Yeah,
some kind of dressing of the bodies, putting things on bodies,

(31:00):
dressing as a clown. You know, all of these things
are normally white people.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Yeah, yeah, clown.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
If you look at the number of serial killers that
are anything other than white, there's a few, but there's
not many. There's not men. You know, now, if you
have your standard. There was an outbreak, you know, over
at the party, people got to shooting. A lot of
times that's not white people. It happens if you go
in the trailer park. But I'm talking about outside of
that environment. Your first thought, you know, hey, there was

(31:27):
a convenience store robbed and the people were armed. Normally
you don't think of white people there. Now, sometimes that
does happen. I'm I'm just talking about stereotypes. Yeah, but anytime,
like they took the body, they dismembered it, they mailed
various pieces of it. Yeah, that's usually white people. It is.
And as we've said, in many cases, not every case,
usually one that wears glasses, not every case. Yeah, but

(31:49):
I mean I wear glasses, I can admit, right, yeah,
but but yeah, But anyway.

Speaker 6 (31:55):
The fact wearing skin for like a face to all
that's white's white people all the way.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
When white people go bad, they go really really real weird.
You don't have to look any further than the Holocaust. Okay,
So so anyway, old Fred again, you always please don't
bring him up, all right, So I'm not right, But anyway,
in this thing, the argument breaks out. We've got some

(32:21):
sort of farmer. Everybody's had a little liquor okay, probably
brown water taking and somebody disagreed with him on how
many eggs chicken can lay. I'd like to know the number,
I really would.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
Does he have.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
It this one to day?

Speaker 1 (32:36):
I don't get mad? All is that? Is that what
the argument was about. It's just how many a day.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
I would assume. I mean, that's just the general rough number.
It's one to day.

Speaker 6 (32:45):
If you got a good sure about that, you got
a good egg producing chicken, it's your average one sure
about that. I'm not sure about it. But it's just
from what I've read average one to day for a.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
Good Now, I will say this, I've gotten in fights,
just fights over things that were silly, and if things
been different, I probably wouldn't have gotten to fight about it,
Like the time I fought a friend of mine over
the fact he made the accusation I didn't love trees.
That's nothing. That's nothing borderline. Yeah, yeah, that's nothing. I
know guns came out or anything like that. It was
just punching and wrestling. But but again that's not something

(33:17):
to fight about. No, and and and if things were different,
probably wouldn't have you to me, I know what you mean.
The neon sign was behind us as well. Yeah, okay,
but when it's those type of arguments, right. A couple
of things here two thirty Am and Strip Mall Pub.

Speaker 5 (33:34):
The story says it's the closed pub, which means they've closed, Like,
you know what.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
If you're gonna keep you can go do that if
you want to, but you can't do it here.

Speaker 5 (33:43):
You can't do it here. About eggs, it doesn't give
the number. It just says the argument started about how
many uh, and then it just says the shooting occurred
so it doesn't say he doesn't say how many one
thought the other thought. And then it got you know, heated,
but they said the conversation got real heated to the
point he pulled out the gun.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
I like how the police were going, Please don't go
near that guy. If you do, it's gone, and he
just goes do not go near the officers. You just
never know, you never know the call that's coming. And
then we can be so unreasonable. I mean so many
times they'll say, please, please, guys, I mean, if you
would just I don't want to take you in. But

(34:26):
you're just trying to get in jail.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
Please stop.

Speaker 5 (34:31):
Is that what you remember?

Speaker 1 (34:32):
Well, trust me on that they try that, they'll they'll
and then you know, and for some reason, so you
just want to spend the night right right, And then
for some reason you'll hear your mouth You're like, why
can't my mouth just be quiet? What am I say it?

Speaker 6 (34:45):
And yes, texture he does look the guy does look
like Cajun from water Boy.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Yes he does.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
In fact, I do have a statement from him.

Speaker 6 (34:54):

about the dog. We haven't seen anything like this since
back in the Rick and Bubba Day's Speedyes House of Cats.
Now you've got a house of dogs, don't you.

Speaker 5 (37:10):
We do, we got we got a house of dogs.
I never understood why on a on a kind of
a cool day like we had yesterday where we live,
we want to leave them in. It seems like that
would be the perfect day to leave them out. We
got so much fur. The love, there's a there's a
new excitement from them. Yes, Oh, they're peeling out in

(37:31):
the grass having a good time.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
I've even had been to run around. I've had people
texting saying their dogs are out there jumping up and down.
You realize, if you're a dog that lives in the
Deep South, how much of your life is miserable? Yeah,
you're usually hot, hot, hot, so hot, and you got
that fur on you like you said, then, Yeah, you're
built to you know, to keep yourself warm and you
know when it gets cool. I mean, I've seen the

(37:53):
point where I saw when I had dogs, it'd be
like if a dog could smile. I just saw it.
They love Yeah, they absolutely love it.

Speaker 5 (38:01):
And we kind of leading up to this. Terry and
I we made a pack. We made an agreement that
we're not stressing over the holidays and decorations and Christ.
We're not going to do that because guess what, now
we're all stressed out in the not and not enjoying anything.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
Let's just enjoy it.

Speaker 5 (38:20):
So we even shook hands on it and then made
it out and then we're good. No, And so she's like, okay,
so we're gonna put the tree up in stages. Then,
so I get the tree out the attic and I'll
tell you this, leaving it standing up, trying to find
it and balancing it down and all the boy, that
was a lot a lot better because you don't have
to get it's an artificial tree. You don't have to

(38:41):
get all the branches perfect.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
That's what takes it all connected.

Speaker 5 (38:45):
So then we go and buy lights, and then when
we laid them out on the floor, they all work,
but then there was a short in it, so when
you put them on in the middle, they were all dark.
So we have to unwind them, take them back, exchange it.
All the stab nothing not a thing. Uh, And so uh,
we're gonna do it in stages because we're not stressing out, right,
so the lights are on.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
Commitments already been made. We're gonna stand by it. Right.

Speaker 5 (39:09):
We have watched videos on how to make the perfect bow,
and it was just the prettiest bow on the tree.
I've never seen a bow that prev and it's all
fuffy and ready to go. Well, because we're not stressing out,
we're not going to We're not gonna worry about if
it's totally complete by the time we go to bed
or not do it. Well, yesterday Terry was at work

(39:31):
and where we kind of stopped doing things on Sunday,
she had put some bows that she was going to
continue to do the tree with some decorations over in
a chair and uh, you know, roll them up, all
nice and neat and perfect, the perfect bow sitting there,
ready to be made, and she goes to it to

(39:52):
work and we all, you know, go on with our day. Well,
yesterday I come on in a little bit after lunch
and there there's the trees looking like it did when
we left, and and I don't sometimes, you know, it's
the old.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
Ant on my legs.

Speaker 5 (40:08):
I don't see them. And then until you focused, and
then you start, oh my gosh, the bike men. They're
all over the place. I look down on the on
the floor around the tree, and it didn't I didn't.
I didn't see it at first, but then I kind
of just spun my head around and there was Cuddy,
the college dog that's home now. Jc's a ninety pound baby,

(40:31):
and he was holding a bow that was just a
perfect little bow in his mouth like a bone, and
he was he was wagging his tail like check this out.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
Look what I got.

Speaker 5 (40:42):
This is the greatest day ever. Look at all my toys.
And then I was like Cuddy and he and you know, ears,
go back, tail, drops, opens his mouth and drops the
bow like it was this wrong. And then I look
around and he had none just rolls of this of

(41:03):
of material to make bows and put pretty things on
the tree, and it's just all It looks like somebody
had toilet paper stuck on the bottom of their shoe.
And he just walked around the house. There's bows there.
It's all over the How I didn't see it when
I first walked in. I don't know. It's all.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Yeah, I guess not. You blocked.

Speaker 5 (41:28):
The other two were looking like, don't look at me,
I'm over here, and they could sense, Okay, he's elevating.
The other two not involved, and so they run to
the other side of and Jack the old one, he's
off in the room somewhere. You know, he knew he
was sitting laying in the dark. Cuddy, what have you done? Now?

(41:50):
Now I'm backing up the cud he is. Now I'm
going around the couch because I'm like, oh, this is bad,
that's what he's thinking.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
I thought bows were freaking out. Yes, I mean, this
is the greatest day of my life.

Speaker 5 (41:59):
I've had a blast check all this out about these
boats and and like a like a tattletale, I said,
I broke out video you did?

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Oh yeah, your titletale?

Speaker 5 (42:10):
Well yeah, And I said, Cuddy, I'm sorry, buddy, but
this ain't on me.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
So I started I.

Speaker 5 (42:14):
Started video in the room, video video video, check this out.
Title Tattle Tattle, Tattle, look at me, look at you,
all this kind of stuff. I sent it to Terry
and then and then the car pulls in the driveway.
Kick Cuddy out for a while, and I and it
brought him back in. And then he's laying there. He

(42:34):
thinks it's over. And I said, and she's home.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
Oh, Cuddy.

Speaker 5 (42:40):
I said, Buddy, it's over. And he looked at me
like I thought we were done. I thought I got punished,
you kicked me out, And here she comes. That door
opens up. I videoed her and then videoed him. I
was sending it to JC because he was at work.
Sure he was videoed her, videoed him, and she just
stood there and stared at him, like, how you do

(43:02):
you know.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
Where she on the level? Can she be mad at
the dog? Can she be mad at the dog?

Speaker 5 (43:06):
Well, that's a great question, because that's her it's her favorite.
I know she loves Cuddy.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
And she walked.

Speaker 5 (43:12):
She walks over and she stands in the middle of
the mess that I left, not because she was going
to clean it. I wanted her to see how mad
it was. Video can only tell you you uh. And
she stood in the mess of just bows and half
eaten stuff all over the place, so much Christmas joy,
just eating. We're not going to stress outing.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
We made that, we made the commitment.

Speaker 5 (43:39):
Now we got to get back to the store, sure,
and probably buy a few other things and go to
Michael's apparently and get more bow But she just stared
at Cuddy and said, I cannot believe you did this,
starts talking to him like he's a little child, you know,
and he knows what he's done. And she said, I'm
going to ignore you. And she thinks, she claimed, I
think that's the way you.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
So women even will give a dog a solidary. Yeah,
I didn't know that. Yeah, I didn't know that. But
she started to elevate and I said, we're not stressing.
We're not going to stress. We made a commitment. Is No,
we're not made a commitment. I've that commitment when didn't
include this.

Speaker 5 (44:15):
I'm about to put on the Great American Channel, whatever
it's called, and do another Christmas story that we all
predict what the ending is going to be. And she's
not going to go back to work because she fell.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
In love with the guy in that job. I don't
know why they're always she's not gonna take that job.
I've always wanted to work in New York. Yeah, and
she's from a small town. She was embarrassed about it,
but when she's come back, she just realized small town
is a pretty good life.

Speaker 5 (44:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Yeah, there's the old boyfriend from hostital not ever just
we're sweats and he's right, and she can't stand him.
There's no weather gonna be together right, No way, no way,
because he's gonna hold her back here in that town,
and she don't want.

Speaker 5 (44:47):
That, and so so she kicks him back out and
so there he goes back outside, which I believe that's
where they should have been all day. But I didn't
get that. I didn't get that book.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
We're going to stress, you kidding. They were running everywhere
when I cutting up.

Speaker 5 (45:06):
When I got home, before I knew Cuddy had done
what he did, I was out, you know. I let
him out and played with him a little bit, and
then I go back in, and you.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
Know, things happened. Two things. I know it's on the dog,
but two things that reminds me of. Okay, two things.
Men in marriage never win silent treatment. We always k First,
their ability to stay silent is amazing. It's almost like
that they're monks. Okay, all right. And then the other
one is we never get it, and I told you so,
we never get to do it, even when we have one.

(45:35):
We never get to use it because the response of
an Iolian show is not worth it, and we never
get to say it.

Speaker 5 (45:41):
No, So before I know it, I'm down on my
hands and knees, Cinderella picking up just trash. I mean,
there's there's stuff all over that we're finding under the cows.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (45:53):
I can't imagine the party. I wonder if like they
played music and we don't know it. They turned the
system off for I got home, you know, and who
the dog? And I mean they're happening to Blast.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
Black Cutty probably looked up through so now that we're
all in this, right and they said.

Speaker 5 (46:13):
It goes down, I'm in the other runner.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
I went into the dark room laying down, laying in
front of the box fan like it's not real, right.

Speaker 5 (46:20):
Uh, but yeah, cut he got in trouble yesterday.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
Hey man, you had that coming. We're not stressed.

Speaker 4 (46:25):
No, he was the Rick Burgess Show.

gonna play the football game this year?

Speaker 1 (47:55):
Greg and I are getting so old for that turkey
versus dressing. There's a side of me. Didn't we try
last time? You and I quarterback for both teams yeah,
I bet that's pretty. You don't think we can quarterback.
I can't. I'm so far from all this. I have
you well, I have you know Calvin. Of course, just
before I had the rotator cuff issue. Think about that. Yeah,

(48:17):
uh like arch Manning, I threw a bomb, Greg saw
it over the shoulder, catch for the wind to my nephew. Oh,
I mean it's a beautiful past. He was even covered. Well,
I dropped it right in there, like dropping on the
dumb I can where they say it spent it? Well,
you know to y'all told.

Speaker 5 (48:38):
You again the boys got old enough to wear. I mean,
we're grown men out and somebody hurt, you know, Well
now you get to compete, I know for one, which
you should not have done. Now River, the four year
old grandson is is cranked it up, and now the
little one frankt back up. It's always them, yes, always there,
and so I know y'all got tons of little ones.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
So I start thinking. I started thinking this year Ellis
might be able to get in. He may try, you
know it. You know what happens. Remember the time that
Sherry's family was there. One of them's got run over
by Blake. They get run over.

Speaker 3 (49:15):
Oh, they get run over and it's.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
It was it was bad. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (49:20):
Yeah, so that's the discussion. If the Willie Bowl will
take place.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
Sure, I think I think Blake is out this year
because I think, yeah, his wife is actually part of choreographing, Uh,
the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. That's a pretty big game.

Speaker 4 (49:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (49:37):
I think they'll be there.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
So she got that gig, which we're very proud of
her for that.

Speaker 5 (49:40):
Yeah, it's awesome.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
Uh, and so that I don't think they're joining us,
but I think everybody else Wait a minute, no, no, no,
is this is this Brodie's Indiana year. I know it
is Christmas. Oh, it is Christmas. It is okay, So
then then Thanksgiving maybe not. I don't know, and I
don't know when was coming. I know what you're talking.

(50:01):
I know more of everybody else coming in the moment.

Speaker 5 (50:03):
Yeah, let's forget once they get married. You don't know.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
I don't getting pulled all but it's fine, you know what,
And we do the turkey a lot of pressure, but
Chef like he's got that resolve. Oh yeah, you don't
want to be that person keeps it up. No, I
mean a turkey. Oh let me tell you the other thing.
I know, some Thanksgiving to here comes the family and
everybody's got their their pans, and then everybody wants what
oven space? We need to warm it up? Then we

(50:26):
don't need eat it cold. It's probably cold. I'm like,
already cold. Yeah, And then there's not enough oven space,
you know. Yeah, everybody wants to put their little cast
row in. Everybody wants put dressing in one more times,
warm it up and rotate them in and out, put
it on your plate. Microwave. That ain't bad. I mean,
you know.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
Holiday, are you gonna have the microwave down at the
pergola for that?

Speaker 8 (50:48):
Then?

Speaker 1 (50:48):
Good cat, good catch. I can't hate anything. It better
be warm enough when he gets down there.

Speaker 5 (50:56):
Here. Let me let me look.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
Quick quick going the stinks giving forecast. I don't nobody
know yet.

Speaker 5 (51:03):
They kind of have an idea of the tempt what's
going to be like, let's see on Thanksgiving. Oh m hmm,
we're going to it like two days before and we
got loads in the in the forties.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
That's not bad.

Speaker 5 (51:16):
Highs in the low sixties. That's not perfect beautiful, Yeah,
of course, still be cold.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
Yeah. By the way, the beautiful, A beautiful, A beautiful forecast.
Still does it make getting down to the pergola any
easy forecast? It just means we can be out there
and be comfortab Yeah, we're not stressing. It doesn't mean
it's going to change. Just getting everybody there and the food,
but we're not stressing. No, to have a good time.
Sherry is excited about it, so so am I. So.

(51:42):
And Greg will be there help. I know he wants
to help. I say, I went, can I admit something anyway?
And you fire heaters up and you're with me. We
got heaters coming on it checked the wind and you
and you agree with me. I will say this honestly
straight up, because what this is all about is normally
when we have Thanksgiving, we got so many that everybody
can't sit together. And now I'm sure's the case for

(52:03):
a lot of people. This allows everybody to be at
the same table. And if we can get everything set
up and be outside and to cut across the street,
won't crank his truck if we can. If we can
get all that right and we're sitting at that table
all together in the beautiful, beautiful day in November, it
really will be nice well, it's just getting to that moment.

(52:24):
We've got to get a picture of everybody, and you'll
never get kids all of the same direction.

Speaker 5 (52:28):
From five to ten probably wins. Out of the Northwest, Wrick,
how much? Five to ten miles, that's not bad. Out
of the Northwest, that's not bad.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
It's not fun.

Speaker 4 (52:36):
No, five is five is the Rick Burgess show.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
You're right, Thanks for reminding me of this. If you
have read the book, or you have been around and
are listening to the book, Men Don't Run in the Rain,
by the way, I think it is now available at
Barnes and Noble. But anyway, being in you you you
you read about a very unique man, one Bill Burgess.

Speaker 4 (53:04):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
Father to to Greg and me, uh and our sister Angie. Uh.
But but father figure to many, but uh unique individual.
That dad. Dad had a lot of quirky I mean
this may surprise you. He tended, I know, because we're
not like this, but that dad tended to be pretty
quirky about things, and he had a unique view on

(53:27):
just about everything, just about well, I was just saying
our dad was you know, you guys aren't Oh no, no,
you were more like mom God. But but anyway. So
he even tended to be O C. D.

Speaker 3 (53:41):
Huh he did that didn't get passed on.

Speaker 1 (53:44):
You're right. But even things that he didn't like, he
had a unique take on why he didn't like it.
And one of those and I've talked about this, I
think in the book Jello. Dad hated Jelo. He I mean,
he was loud about it. He was loud. It didn't
like he would give a speech on jello. He could
not stand jello. And he said one of the reasons

(54:06):
why he hated it is because it wiggled. He said,
I don't want to eat something somebody brings on my
table was wiggling. And uh and and he could not
stand jello and didn't he claim it was made out
a bone marrow. Yeah, some of it is is he
hated all that, and well, there's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 3 (54:21):
Now.

Speaker 1 (54:22):
I do not like Jello never, I don't dislike. I
joined Dad in my hate of Jello boy. And uh
because when we were kids, if you had a stomach,
they always gave you.

Speaker 5 (54:33):
Jell or like strap throats, the only thing that'll go
down your throat.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
Yeah, let me tell you, Jello represents it represents some
sort of mouse surgery. It represents a throat issue like
Speedy's talking about, and us been sick as kids. It
brings me terrible memories. I have no joy of jelo.
I think I have no jello joy. I think I
got it sometimes when we went through the line at
Morrison's Cafeteria and the deserts had yellow with whipped cream

(54:58):
in it. Yeah, but you did that because you had
friend did everything on the whole cabetary line. But the uh,
the three things I like. My daddy hated jello. I
hate jello. I would it wouldn't. I wish I heard
today a story that jello was over. Well you're not,
but I'm not America. You are celebration.

Speaker 5 (55:17):
They're celebrating one hundred and twenty five years.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
Must be a lot of people like it. I guess one.

Speaker 5 (55:22):
Two five you never had that.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
You never had that family member, the aunt you rarely see.
She brought up some old jello something to the Yeah,
then the mom and they would try to put stuff inside.

Speaker 3 (55:34):
The nuts in it.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
Yeah, there's green yellow nuts.

Speaker 3 (55:37):
And my grandma made it every year.

Speaker 6 (55:38):
Nobody anything on Christmas vacation, yes that you know can no, sorry, Grandma.

Speaker 1 (55:45):
No Grandma. We love you. You're a sweet lady. But
that's that's a rough dish, it is.

Speaker 3 (55:50):
You know, I'd like a pool full of jello, is
what I'd like that stuff an swim.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
Now that's different because now it's turning into an activity. Yeah,
you can buy it, you know, already solid in the
little cups, or you go Osco and you ain't got
the box powder and you in the warm water and
all this the other day, lasy goes always when I
was a kid before, my mam would put it in
the refrigeration. Let me have some of the warm liquid.
This use me listen. Well she dumped it in a

(56:17):
coffee cup the other day, and I'll be honest with you,
it's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
What do you yellow liquid drink chocolate?

Speaker 1 (56:26):
You had a hot yellow Yeah, it was pretty good.
What is wrong? I was skeptical? Yeah, what was it
like drinking? Is it like drinking a you know, like
a little red sucker that melted it? Kind of? But
I knew it. It was really good. I was surprised.
I was ready to scoff at it. Huh. I don't
even like gulping sipping now.

Speaker 6 (56:43):
Like you said, jello shot Greg again came over there.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
She said she was a little girl. Yeah, but anyway,
I hate saying it ain't bad jello, No sho, it's good.
Greg tried the liquid for him. Of all the things,
you you're like, it's not shaking no more. When you
have it like that, ain't not the shaking. I'm talking
about Who's r f K the third and there? It's
just something you're embracing Jello.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
I'm just saying, as a kid, I liked it, and
it's not something to dislike.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
There'd be anything more chemical and and more what is this?
Womd know what it is and we're eating it.

Speaker 6 (57:16):
You know as a kid too, I like seeing Bill
Cosby on those Jello commercials.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
That was the pudding.

Speaker 3 (57:25):
They stopped doing that.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
He puts something in his jello. Hell yeah and once
now now Bill Cosby taking a spoonful and saying it
just feels, yeah.

Speaker 3 (57:37):
You don't want to take anything he's offering you.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
I tell you what was good. That was him putting
pops were talking about something different. Now, yeah, that's pretty good.
Putting bot was good man. It wasn't wrong with that pudding.
Bop okay y. Bill Cosby said something about he used
them sometimes to sleep better. Like, yeah, by the way,
I'm gonna I'm as big offender as anybody. I remember

(58:00):
an op ed and whoever wrote it, I give him credit.
It was beautifully said, one thousand percent correct. Bill Cosby
was allowed to go on with the bad part of
his life unchecked because nobody wanted to live in a
world where Bill Cosby was a sexual predator. And that
is true. That's true. Yeah, I remember. I remember Greg
had to set me straight because he was one of
my heroes in comedy when he said, Rick, there's over fifty.

(58:21):
I mean, if half of them are lying, we still
got twenty five. Yeah, that number is undefeated. And I
had to come I had to do reality check. Ou
there's probably not fifty percent. You ain't got a few stragglers.
It's looking for a cab, right, Greg, I did. I
wished he wouldn't, which he had not done what he did.
I saw Speedy on the list, he claimed he reached
out to him. He was just trying to catch you.

Speaker 7 (58:41):
Right.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
It makes Fat Albert weird. I can't even I still
love Fat album.

Speaker 3 (58:45):
You kid see a Jellow commercial?

Speaker 1 (58:47):
Yeah, yeah, I sure do you think this is? This
is this insensitive to victims.

Speaker 5 (58:53):
No, no, we shouldn't do this.

Speaker 2 (58:54):
Mber.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
Okay, something rich and creamy in the jell O freezer.
Let's go.

Speaker 7 (59:00):
The other day, I was talking to a cow while
eating a creamy jello pudding pups.

Speaker 4 (59:05):
Yes, she said, I wish I could lay back and
put my feet up.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
And they eat a creamy jello pudding pups to jello
pudding pops sixty percent skin milk and oh the goodness
of real jello pudding. Worm.

Speaker 5 (59:19):
You tell them, Bill, why did you miss Valentine?

Speaker 1 (59:28):
Watch enough.

Speaker 3 (59:31):
Different, I see the whole thing different.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
Oh yeah, I see the cow different.

Speaker 3 (59:34):
I see the kid. The kid needs to get away
from get away.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
The move did.

Speaker 5 (59:44):
So I'm sitting here looking at the inventor of.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
Jello jello gelatine. You got jelo pudding and you have
yellow gelatine, and that's what you drank warm je gelatine.

Speaker 5 (59:55):
Well, you know, because of you know, it had taken
animal paul arts like those from cows and pigs to
extract the calagen from the collagen. Collagen. It's a collagen.
It issues. So I could see if Leelee is out
hugging trees and doing stuff, she is she drinking this

(01:00:16):
to get better.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
It ain't hurting. I guess, yeah, are you talking about
the healing properties. Yeah, she's still getting grounded.

Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
She still ground in too.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
Cold, can't get out there barefooted on the train. That's
when it really works. Oh, I know. So we're twenty
one hundred and twenty years of Jello.

Speaker 5 (01:00:31):
One hundred and twenty five years, and they have some
some weird like Thanksgiving theme stuff coming out whatever, trying
to make some fun recipes dress because that's when the
world ends. Oh, it's it's there. They've got they claim here.
And they did a study and I thought was pretty interesting.
The twenty twenty five Talker research survey conducted for Jello.

(01:00:54):
Nearly one third of Americans drank Brussels sprouts as their
least favorite side. One quarter skip cranberry sauce. And this
one is controversial. One in five pass on pecan pie.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
That's what.

Speaker 5 (01:01:06):
So they hadn't come out, yes, so they're bringing back
some uh, some fun recipes and they're taking those three
the Brussels sprouse, the Camberry sau pecan pie, and they
they're having some fun recipes with mixing jello in. It's
going to be exclusive at Walmart.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
Make them better. I will say this. When I was
a kid, I didn't give pecan pie anything, so I
was just that you didn't give anything anything. But I
like it. Now it's heated up. God, it's good. So
Brussels sprouse have never been part of any Thanksgiving thankful
now who does that? But I have seen that a
green bean castro makes it. Oh yeah, I like I

(01:01:45):
like with dirk onions on it. Yeah, I mean yeah,
I like it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:50):
I'm excited about thinking giving food coming up.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
What's that thing that our sister brings. Oh that's the
sweet potato cassero. That's good. Like that. I treat that
as a dessert, do you.

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
Yeah, especially if it's got marshmallows on top.

Speaker 1 (01:02:02):
Of of course, not that the famous Uh Family reunion
got the marshmallows on.

Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
This way, brown marshmallows on top, don't.

Speaker 1 (01:02:10):
I don't want to see jello a Thanksgiving. No, I
don't either.

Speaker 5 (01:02:14):
I may drink they called jello molds, and you can
purchase them and it comes with a little k.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
If you're at a family function and your grandmother, if
she's still alive, or your aunt or somebody brings some
kind of gelatin, outrageous salad that nobody wants. Anybody in
this room. I think speedy is, by the way, willing
to go get a spoon of it when you realize
nobody touched it. Yes, you have to. Yeah, somebody on Texada.

(01:02:42):
I've completely forgot about the Great Pear Salad pair yea
laying there on the salad, the US good night salad.
I remember somebody said, yeah text Nation the jello fruit
cocktail where I had the fruit all in the yellow.
Oh yeah, what about when you mixed it with like
whipped cream and it made it different? It was pretty

(01:03:04):
good that way. I just don't like jello.

Speaker 5 (01:03:05):
I don't want to like in everything you're putting in it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
That's good, that's true. More than yell pudding, Yes, jello,
jello gelatine. No.

Speaker 3 (01:03:14):
No, Well, different people can like different.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
Yeah they can't. They really can't, including me.

Speaker 4 (01:03:18):
Is the Rick Burgess show.

Speaker 1 (01:03:25):
Shave November. I'm hoping my wife gives it up. I
don't know. I'm gonna make it through the whole month,
all right, that's not what It's funny. I've never I
always forget what no shave. No, I can't remember as
much as I need to. I don't shave anyway. And
I've seen at at at church Sunday. You know, some
of my little fellas they can't go, they can't grow

(01:03:46):
a beard, and they just they just look like that
they're they honestly, they just like they're homeless. I mean,
I'm like, guys, if you if you you know, just
I understand the sentiment that but you can care without.
But Greg, you can't believe I saw not shaving. You
know how some people they just need to shave. Oh yeah, Yeah,
there's just some people it's just not they're just they're
just not designed an they shouldn't. It's Scott Dawson. They

(01:04:09):
got a beard. Well he's trying, it's right now. His
face just looks dirty. And I hope I hope he
didn't have a cat because if they if the yeah,
if a cat lakes, it's gonna be gone, right.

Speaker 5 (01:04:22):
So h But now a lot of the note shape
November is just a challenge. But the way the reason
it started is for cancer awareness and education, yeah, and
prostate okay, and then to to donate the money you
would normally use for grooming and stuff like that, shaving
equip whatever, and donate that to cancer research, okay, or

(01:04:45):
a charity that supports cancer.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
So look, look homeless to just show that you care
about cancer.

Speaker 5 (01:04:50):
Yeah, yes, okay, So I got you and a lot
of guys because they want to stay warm when they hunt.

Speaker 1 (01:04:55):
I think you're right. Yeah. Yeah. So now if you're
a beard guy like Adler to me and you got
both y'all have the food man shoe. It doesn't mean
we're not supposed to trim it. And some people saying, well, birds,
I see yours. That's not gonna be a big problem.
I don't stay on top of it like I should.
But I mean, does that mean if I if I
was someone who kept it groomed, I wouldn't for November? Yeah,

(01:05:18):
because can you trim it in November? Or no, there's
no there's no shave. Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 5 (01:05:26):
Just keep what you got.

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
Sometimes I shave up here and shave down here? Should
I not do that? I just wanted to just look
on beer. You don't know what you have, no sad
And I'm not over the hairy person. And I don't
have the thickest beard. But but right here, I mean
I'll have it grow up right right away?

Speaker 11 (01:05:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so fast and on top of my
head pure that well, yeah, I got that weird, but
it'll go all the way up to my eyes, but
I can't get.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
At the top.

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
You should do that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
Leave it look like I said before, if you could
take them and yeah, you could no shave that because
no shave November. That's right head and we could have
horse not no shave of your head no, which says
no shave, no shame. I've challenged Greg and I said, horho,
come back shoe what a little like that won't come back? Greg?
I want speed in that muppet. Then that guy and

(01:06:19):
the postman is a person in your neighborhood.

Speaker 5 (01:06:22):
If you want me not to shave my head, then
you get your baby brother to shave his that's the deal.

Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
And he don't do if he shaves it, it's over
my head too. Right there in the top. He's already
going baby, baby bird on the time. You think you're
the only one that's not gonna look good, you and
that horse. You think it's it might work for you,
Sean mc I got nearly did it, did shown McDonald?
Go ahead? Oh boy, Van looks like an alien like

(01:06:54):
it was a creature. Yeah, it's tough. So so I
don't know what beard people are supposed to do. Just
don't trim it, let it roll.

Speaker 5 (01:07:01):
I guess you're good.

Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
Can jave your neck either, Okay? Can I care about
cancer and just not do that? Yeah? Of course. I
think it's more for people who are slick faced, because
because they actually people go wow, I know that they noticed,
why are you doing that? Then they tell them why?
All right, Greg, I want to ask you this, and
I want you to think about it in just a minute. Okay,
this is your area and you'll have the number. It'll

(01:07:22):
be right. What percentage of people that do participate in
No Shave November do it because they care about cancer?

Speaker 3 (01:07:30):
I've done it several times. Didn't even know it had
to do with cancer.

Speaker 1 (01:07:33):
There you go, what's the percentage you think? Now you
said didn't care? I didn't know. Let's do it another way.
How many people are doing it just to be sharp?
That'll be enough and that'll that'll tell us what percentage?
You never asked with the back there's nothing really breaking
the heart. They're not really like pondering it and trying
it to say it. Probably about seventy three percent. I
knew it seventy three percent. Just do it because I

(01:07:55):
think they hunting whatever, Just do it. I like I
remember when it broke out one time and I group,
I had no idea what we're doing.

Speaker 3 (01:08:04):
I thought it was funny. I thought we were just
being funny with our faces.

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
Funny with our face.

Speaker 6 (01:08:09):
Yeah, we should do mister T Tuesdays in honor of
his passion.

Speaker 3 (01:08:13):
We all do the mister Tea hair every Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (01:08:15):
Here's what should happen. I got it better. I like
that too, because mother.

Speaker 5 (01:08:18):
Yeah, there was no other.

Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
There's no other.

Speaker 3 (01:08:21):
Oh wait, I said mister T. I meant whole Cogan.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 6 (01:08:24):
I said that makes no that makes no stinking sense
at all.

Speaker 3 (01:08:29):
Tea is still there's.

Speaker 1 (01:08:30):
Something about that. And you know what that was? That
was racist?

Speaker 6 (01:08:33):
No, Well, I got my heroes mixed up. These are
there both heroes of mine?

Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
I got it.

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):
I meant whole cogan.

Speaker 1 (01:08:38):
I figured out what they need to do in November.
If you normally don't have a beard, you grow it.
If you do normally have a beard, you gotta shape.
Oh and then everybody will be you know what, then
you see it everywhere?

Speaker 5 (01:08:50):
Yeah, what about nose hairs November. Just don't trim your
nose just like.

Speaker 1 (01:08:54):
You know, I'd like, we don't need to let that go.

Speaker 5 (01:08:57):
No, I need, I need to.

Speaker 1 (01:08:59):
Clean your I was out every Oh yeah, I thank you,
thank you for being honest.

Speaker 3 (01:09:04):
I need to do better on that right, better on
my nose hair. Yes, I thought it's not good.

Speaker 1 (01:09:11):
Have you noticed that always? You know, you have a
very thick, nice beard, and your mustache is good. But
a lot of times, if you can do a good
thick mustache, those people that hair just grows everywhere, right,
and it's all over the nose too. Yeah. Yeah, I
didn't want to say anything.

Speaker 12 (01:09:25):
No.

Speaker 6 (01:09:25):
I remember being I remember being a kid and being
grossed out by adults that had that. And now I'm
now I'm doing that to kids, Like I'm sure some
little kids are like, why.

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
Do you have that nose hair?

Speaker 3 (01:09:36):
Also, why do you have the hair of a girl.

Speaker 1 (01:09:37):
I'm scared. It's like your mommy.

Speaker 3 (01:09:40):
It's like you're my mommy and my daddy and the
same person.

Speaker 1 (01:09:42):
Okay, that's too much, that's too much share.

Speaker 3 (01:09:45):
I think I think I freak kids.

Speaker 1 (01:09:46):
Yeah yeah, yeah, and you'll also overshare about that. Sorry.
The other thing, the one that I the one that
gives me you'll go about thirty minutes more than you'll
go right there, right there.

Speaker 6 (01:09:58):
But I was watching tiny were the kids here, just
watching tiny little kids in Sunday school this past Sunday,
And this little girl who who's scared of everybody came
up to me and she just kept looking at me,
and I really think she was like, are you.

Speaker 1 (01:10:11):
My mommy and my daddy?

Speaker 3 (01:10:15):
That happened this Sunday? And everybody else was like, wow,
she never talks to anybody. I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (01:10:21):
Right, you said kind of odd. Don't feel bad. She
said the same thing to ros.

Speaker 3 (01:10:25):
Yeah, we both get that a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:10:28):
Right. By the way, people are now googling mister T's death. Yeah,
that was my bad.

Speaker 6 (01:10:33):
I I was thinking, man chew, but it's whole Cogan.

Speaker 3 (01:10:37):
I got all mixed.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
Up about to play that song back to the original conversation,
the original What were we even talking about?

Speaker 5 (01:10:47):
I don't remember no shave, no vanber And you were
asking what the rules are so you have to start
the month clean shaved all right?

Speaker 1 (01:10:55):
Now?

Speaker 5 (01:10:55):
It says that you can, I guess maybe cut around
or shave around the beard because it says you can
maintain it. So Rick, you already have one that gots
back to your neck and all that you can shave
around what you got.

Speaker 1 (01:11:10):
Okay, right here we go. When did he die miserable
that you fell treat right? Did your mother right? Was

(01:11:30):
miss Valentine watching the kids? Or was it miss Was
it mister Adler?

Speaker 6 (01:11:34):
Now that was just me, And it was like, I
think you're the best qualities of both of my parents
and one and I.

Speaker 3 (01:11:41):
Was like, okay, kiddo, go over there.

Speaker 1 (01:11:43):
Well, only we want needs many seats at the table.
We'll be right back. A couple of other things to
discuss today on the program, Adler. Let's take a look
here at video one and also video two. So first

(01:12:07):
of all, we said this early in the program, and
we do kind of still keep you updated on what's
going on. Looks like the forty one day government shut
down is about to end. Bipartisan bill went through the Senate,
now going onto the House. We talked a lot about
air traffic controllers. Some of them protested the government shut

(01:12:33):
down by what we used to call calling in sick.
The youngsters now call it calling out sick, which is weird.
But anyway, trend. Now, I don't even know how you
call out. I only know if I call, my call
goes in. But anyway called in. But anyway, if you
didn't call in or call out, whichever you use, the

(01:12:54):
president has something to say to you. As an air
traffic controller. Here we go.

Speaker 13 (01:12:58):
Got a truth social post earlier today I did.

Speaker 3 (01:13:00):
Were you blasted the air.

Speaker 13 (01:13:01):
Traffic controllers who had not shown up for work and
offered potentially a bonus of ten thousand dollars for those
who have worked despite the shutdown? Are you worried that,
given the fact that we have a deficit of air
traffic controllers still, I know we're trying to change that,
that that might be a difficult.

Speaker 7 (01:13:19):
Now we don't have much of a deficit and we
have a lot of people want the job. But I
was not happy when I saw all these people. Oh
we have to look, life is not so easy for anybody.
Our country has never done better. We should not have
had people leaving their jobs. And what I basically did
is say the ones that stayed, of which were there
were a lot of them, I'm sending them a ten

(01:13:41):
thousand dollars bar.

Speaker 13 (01:13:42):
Is that money coming from I.

Speaker 7 (01:13:44):
Don't know I'll get it from someplace. I'll get it
from I always get the money from someplace, regardless, it
doesn't matter. We did a lot of I do a
lot of bonuses for people because it's really something that
it's like the American way when you think about it.
So here's somebody that goes and shows up every single day.
Some of them showed up early because they knew there
was going to be a problem. Those people should be
rewarded other.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
Nice Okay, So so if you if you did a
very important job, like an air traffic controller, I would
have thought if that was my job, that my commitment
to the safety of people would have superseded my poutiness. Uh.
But but anyway, those that continued to come to work,
he said, you'll be rewarded for that.

Speaker 5 (01:14:24):
H Terry bumped into old friend of ours that his
son was Tyler's age. They played ball together growing up.
And he said, he said that his son is an
air traffic controller. And I didn't even know that because
we had lost touch with him for years, you know.
And he's over in Atlanta. Uh, and he's an air
traffic controller. And he said he was very proud of
his son. He never called out, he went in, he

(01:14:45):
didn't miss a day, did he call in, call out,
call in whatever. And he was just talking about about
him and he was he always played hard, he was
a he was a great kid. Is surprising, No, it
really isn't. That's just his character, Mason strickling and uh
and so, but he'll be rewarded, I.

Speaker 1 (01:15:02):
Guess yep, right, we'll see what a strange concept. Yeah,
uh now Trump will of course the left will go
crazy over the statement, I'll find the money somewhere I
always due.

Speaker 5 (01:15:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:15:13):
Uh so anyway, uh, CNN haking Jefferies, this is this
is a weird conversation here. He says that that they
waged a battle on behalf of the American people. But
the CNN reporter points out one pretty obvious point. All right,
here we go, what is it the shutdown?

Speaker 14 (01:15:34):
What if we have waged a battle on behalf of
the American people? First of all, Donald Trump and Republicans
are the ones who shut the government down. They have
the House to send it in the presidency and the
American people know it. And that's been the case for
seven consecutive weeks.

Speaker 1 (01:15:53):
But you know, at the end of the day, even
get what you want, So was it worth waging this fight?

Speaker 14 (01:15:57):
At the end of the day, the fight lives on.

Speaker 5 (01:16:03):
Man good Gracio.

Speaker 1 (01:16:06):
I'd like to point out that y'all shut the government
down for forty one days and didn't accomplish anything. You
just you cause people a lot of duress and you
didn't get what you wanted. Uh what fight did you
fight and win?

Speaker 5 (01:16:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:16:20):
You didn't win anything.

Speaker 5 (01:16:21):
No, and it was a clean bill that you didn't
vote for, that you voted for in March. So right,
you can't blame anybody but yourself.

Speaker 1 (01:16:28):
You know, pardon my ignorance on this, but I was thinking,
now I know that there's something I'm missing. How much
do we need because the point he does make the
Republicans have have the majority, So how come they were
able to shut it down? We didn't because we didn't
get to sixty That's right, there's and so he's leaving
that part out.

Speaker 5 (01:16:47):
We have the majority, but we didn't have the votes
to get to sixty. We needed them help.

Speaker 1 (01:16:50):
Right, Well, he's a little he's leaving that out. Yeah,
it doesn't really matter if you have a slight majority,
you have to get to what the number the Republicans
they didn't shut it down because they weren't able to
go if they didn't get sixty and so sixty means
Democrats have to come along. So you know, they throw
things out there and they're hoping that no one goes that.

(01:17:12):
That doesn't really make sense though, because it's not enough
majority to do it without the Democrats.

Speaker 6 (01:17:16):
Well, I think I think they're right, and that's why
I'm actually surprised that they did cave like this, because yes,
this was the Democrats shutting down the government, but to me,
they were winning the messaging war when it came to
what the general public thought.

Speaker 3 (01:17:31):
Because people don't pay attention.

Speaker 6 (01:17:32):
People don't know that the Republicans had a clean cr
a continuing resolution, It had a clean bill.

Speaker 3 (01:17:39):
Let's just keep things the way they are and then
we'll work this out.

Speaker 6 (01:17:42):
Over that period of time, a lot of people didn't
know that the Republicans had that, and the Democrats were
choosing to keep the government continued to be shut down.
I don't think the people knew that, so I am
actually surprised that the Democrats caved in the way that
they did.

Speaker 1 (01:17:54):
Well. I think they thought this messaging was running out
of steam and people were getting ducated on their own sure,
and realizing what Speedy said that they voted for the
clean Bill back in March and then pretended they didn't.
They say they've got the majority, they could end this
if they wanted to without telling you. You got to get
to SIXTYEP which they don't have and they need us

(01:18:14):
to get there. They're just hoping you don't find those
things out, and maybe as people were starting to find out,
they thought any benefit to us has run out at
forty one days. Just a guess on my part. Yeah,
I feel pretty good about it since they're caving. Yeah,
I don't think they would gave if anything they had to.

Speaker 6 (01:18:31):
Yeah, the No King's rally, I knew they wanted to
get through that, but they were able to extend it
through these mid term elections here where we saw momm knee.

Speaker 1 (01:18:40):
Yeah, and they didn't. They did make some progress and
they did well on the on the midterm election.

Speaker 3 (01:18:45):
They did those the last elections.

Speaker 1 (01:18:46):
Sorry these that just happened last Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (01:18:50):
But Democrats did well.

Speaker 1 (01:18:51):
That was not good well. And I think also when
you see Kennedy and people like that saying why are
we getting paid when the others aren't. I think that
message started becoming more powerful too. We'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (01:19:06):

Speaker 1 (01:19:14):
Starting to starting to look into a couple of a
couple of details, you know, for us. I was just
asked by one of the vox seats have we done
any deer hunting yet? And you know I'm getting ready
getting ready for US. Gun season opens next weekend, right, yep,

(01:19:34):
not this Saturday, but next Saturday, correct, before Thanksgiving?

Speaker 5 (01:19:39):
Yes, this is the weekend Thanksgiving for right, so, and
youth hunts the weekend before, which is it?

Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:19:48):
That's good, that's good.

Speaker 1 (01:19:51):
I'm gonna take little fell out for us first, dear,
uh so, you know I remember using youth hunt weekend
to get a good look at it, taking one of
my kids. And now I don't have anybody young enough. Great,
can I have a grand kid? Yeah, you're a one. Well,
I don't know none of the mode if we go
out there for that, Oh no, I'm taking a nap.
Then if you kill one, you can claim they did.
All right, raise your hand.

Speaker 5 (01:20:12):
River thinks he's he's ready.

Speaker 3 (01:20:13):
I know four.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
I was waiting on that. Raise your hand, Dad's And
you don't raise yours yet because you haven't done it,
but I'm telling you it's coming. How many of us
now openly it meant this many years later, in order
to get a pass to go hunting, we took our
kids when they were too young. Yeah, and they didn't
even enjoy it.

Speaker 6 (01:20:32):
My kid is I've already done it, right, Yeah, Ruby
was watching you in the shooting house.

Speaker 1 (01:20:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:20:40):
See yeah, And I tell them to the golf range
that way to her, they could even swing a club.

Speaker 1 (01:20:45):
One of the wants to go. Yeah. One of the
strangest moments I had, I took the two middle ones,
so that would be Brooks and Brodie. I took them
on a deer hunt one time. They were they were
like like even like babysitters didn't want to stay with them,

(01:21:05):
you know what I mean. I mean, And it was
like uh uh, And I'm like, we're going out to
a shooting house. And I had every kind of matchbox car,
hot wheels, I had everything. And at one point they're
just simply playing like they'd be playing at home in
the floor of a shooting house and they're not remotely
watching or any anything anything. And I knew that if

(01:21:27):
I started the uh them, I going hunting when you
got when you got little kids everywhere. You know, Mama
has such a different attitude, which now I'm starting to realize.
If our wives don't care if we go hunt now
that all the kids are gone, do they really not
like our company? Yeah, it seems like now they should
be clinging to us because I know, I know Sherry
thinks about me all day. Right and uh and and

(01:21:50):
you might remember when I start working out and somebody
asked if I want to go further, that said, I
just can't. I say, right now, my wife can't get
her mind off of me. Now, I said, if we
if we go too far with this, I mean, she
ain't gona get anything done. And so so don't you
think now when they could have more time with us,
because they're not looking after kids either, they're more willing
for us to be gone. Yeah, they just hit me,

(01:22:11):
you want to go hunting? I know you want. But anyway,
so it.

Speaker 5 (01:22:14):
Was really, don't leave me with the kids.

Speaker 1 (01:22:16):
Well that's what it was. And it was so if
you took the kids, they give you yeah, because they're like, okay, yeah,
you got zero guilt. I can remember sitting in the
tripod with Tyler, sitting in my lap. Yes, but he
wouldn't quit blowing the grunt call you saw, yeah, Oh,
he ran everything off. But I think if you remember,
this was a story of old because those two that

(01:22:36):
were with me that day, and they were probably six
and four, okay, is you might remember the story because
they're now twenty six and twenty four. Yeah, twenty six
and twenty four, so that's how long ago. It was.
Twenty years ago. So you ever see something? I mean,

(01:22:58):
and I remember telling this time when I told retold
the story, I'm on it. I'm being completely honest. They
were being so loud, and they were playing with so
many things they were banging around. I thought to myself, well,
at least I'm outdoors. At least i'm outdoors with with
my kids, and we're having a good day. I mean,
I mean, there were things like like I thought, I'm

(01:23:19):
not going to see anything. They were. Birds wouldn't even
fly over there. You know, birds are like, don't go
over there. Something going on. There's something banging around in
some box over there. I mean, it's noise, we're fighting
over cars. We got all kinds of things going. And
of course I think I'm still hunting because they have
little camo on and Mama was glad with that because
we got what Q cameo picture. You know. Oh, look

(01:23:39):
at them, they're being like a little dead, you know.
And of course I'm out there in misery and there's
no way, And guys, I will never forget when I
saw this buck. I wouldn't have been any more surprised
if an alien ship had landed, because you thought no

(01:23:59):
way in the food plot. If an alien ship had
landed in the food plot and green people got off
of it, I might have been less surprised than seeing
this buck. I thought to myself, he's termally ill. Yeah,
he wants to be taken. He's looking for a mercy keill.
It's not even the rut, so he's not looking for women.

Speaker 5 (01:24:16):
He's strolling.

Speaker 1 (01:24:18):
He's strolling in daylight with a bunch of I think
he was interested. I think he was like, I gotta
go find out what this is. Because the wind was right,
so I went by. Our scent wasn't blowing that way,
so that was okay. I honestly think all the things
we learned about hunting, about being quiet and all this,
I think the deer was like, I gotta find out

(01:24:38):
what this is I think he got up from being
safely bedded down, stood up and said, I gotta go
see what is all this in the world. I think
I think something's being killed. I was surprised that codis
weren't all over me, thinking something was down and flying
flating around. And when I saw it, they're still playing
okay in the floor, and I'm like, and I get

(01:24:58):
the gun up and the deer the buck. He kind
of just leaned out and really looked almost up with
a look on his face like what in the world
is going on? And he got enough body out that
I shot him and he went right down. And I
remember the kids playing on the floor. I remember Brodie
first hit. He said, you shot and I said, I said,

(01:25:22):
I'm a surprised you are, son, and uh and so
uh so. So then you know, you you think to yourself,
because you're just accustomed to it, you're like, all right, boys,
let's go and because they're like, let's go see, let's
go see. Yeah, and and and and you realize that
when when you take them down there to them, you

(01:25:45):
know that you've just you've just killed something and you've
shot it and and down it goes and you don't
know what the reaction will be, and I was trying
to find out, you know, and we're so accustomed to it,
we don't even think about it. It wasn't like the
time that Sherry thought she wanted to sit with one
the boy boys when they were older, and that didn't
go well. Sherry also didn't know how to be quiet,

(01:26:07):
and one of our sons had to take the only
shot he had. Uh, and unfortunately it did not go
down oh on the first oh, oh oh wow. Do
you remember that story?

Speaker 5 (01:26:19):
Yeah, I think it's coming back to me.

Speaker 1 (01:26:21):
I rounded the corner because I couldn't get him to
respond after I heard the shot, and I looked at
the son I was sitting with and I said, we
gotta go something. We gotta go check on mama. And
we round the corner and Cherry was over there with
she was petting it. I said, baby, step away from
the deer and do not name it. Step away. She looked,
she goes, I didn't think it was gonna be like that,

(01:26:43):
and uh, and then Dad was hasty. Dad. Mom wouldn't
be still. She kept hollering for me to shoot the deer,
and I told her try to be quiet. I had
to take the shot at and I said, what happened?
What happened? He's a mom saw a flopper and I said, oh, mom, not,
I said, baby, don't always go like that. It just
was flopping around O and I was I was like,
maybe that's where she rushed me me. She rushed my shot.
I had to take the shot I had if Mama

(01:27:04):
had been quiet out shot it clean and and then
and I said, maybe just step away. So I wondered,
how the how the boys were gonna go? By the way,
she's not been back.

Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:27:12):
I wanted to see how the how the boys? And
then you think, well, how will it go? And I
look and of course they start jumping on like his
horse and start trying to ride it and all holding
there like oh this is cool and uh and I thought,
well that that's that's a good sign. But you know,
we we often reflect back on that deer. And I
think it was a deer that that that that sought
to die. I can't, I can't. Maybe maybe the woman

(01:27:37):
that he loved left him. Uh, maybe he'd been fired
from his job. I don't know what happened. Maybe he
started getting you know, maybe had a crack habit that
he couldn't break. I don't know what it was, I
really don't, But why else would that do y'all really think?
Do you think he just came to see what the
noise was since the wind was right. I've never understood

(01:27:57):
this deer. Everything you've ever been taught about deer hunting,
we violated every bit of it, and he walked out in.
It wasn't a bad deer, no really, yeah, I mean
it wouldn't like the biggest you ever ever killed. But
he wasn't bad. Yeah, for that time, he was plenty good.
So it was interesting.

Speaker 6 (01:28:14):
I've got one that I'm keeping my eye on.

Speaker 1 (01:28:18):
He's showing up regular on the lot, on the acreage
on my spread.

Speaker 6 (01:28:26):
Yeah, it's it's two acres, so I can call it acreage.

Speaker 1 (01:28:31):
I am.

Speaker 6 (01:28:32):
I'm at this weird point where I do see animals
regularly on my military cameras, and so now I've got nicknames.

Speaker 3 (01:28:38):
I'm starting to do nicknames.

Speaker 1 (01:28:39):
Oh no, the deer are all the animals.
