Speaker 2: I'm over here, stressed out, sitting out here since like
Speaker 2: two o'clock this morning. Built this fire. Uh it's a
Speaker 2: craning across the street from my house and I across
Speaker 2: the well. It's innoalable. Somebody look at the mountains and
Speaker 2: walked this morning. What I went up and my wife
Speaker 2: woke me up and uh, saying it's a fire outside,
Speaker 2: and uh, the hill was all on you know, you
Speaker 2: see the helicopters and the planes. And then in the
Speaker 2: evening the night. So I've been up since like two
Speaker 2: thirty just keeping watch. Man. It's a it's it's bad.
Speaker 2: I'm just thinking it ain't coming this way yet. But
Speaker 2: you know, it's not as window again by my house yet,
Speaker 2: but I'm still watching. I'm sitting here watching this right now.
Speaker 4: That's the thing, Ed, It's it's like the day of
Speaker 4: all days is windy, and it's it's not I mean,
Speaker 4: it's crazy wind, but it's still and so you haven't
Speaker 4: got any notifications to evacuate or anything like that.
Speaker 2: Yet No, but if you leave, you can't come back.
Speaker 2: So that's that's one of the problems. You leave out,
Speaker 2: she can't, you can't get back in, and they're not
Speaker 2: letting anyone back in. Or I took my son to school,
Speaker 2: but articulate, because you know, we didn't know we could
Speaker 2: get out. She tried to take him to school and she
Speaker 2: can't get back in, and so, you know, like I said,
Speaker 2: you know, just watch, and the funny thing is, I'm
Speaker 2: not so now check this out. Just show you how
Speaker 2: kids are. My daughter was up. I guess she saw
Speaker 2: the fire at like one thirty two o'clock because I
Speaker 2: got in. I got in. I was in times Spring.
Speaker 2: I got in about nine forty five. UNCHI big cident.
Speaker 2: You had to get up early take him to school.
Speaker 2: Doesn't take him to school by then? My son in school,
Speaker 2: and she says, oh, yeah, I saw it, but I didn't.
Speaker 2: I try to be okay, you didn't wake me up,
Speaker 2: You didn't wake job like, oh yeah, I saw it.
Speaker 2: I thought it'd be okay. I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: that's what kids man like. I don't know sometimes, but
Speaker 2: that's why that's why she's nineteen. But she's still like
Speaker 2: your kids, like yeah.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, there's still kids.
Speaker 4: He's like, there's your sense of urgency or just sense
Speaker 4: of just awareness to just say, hey, maybe I should
Speaker 4: tell somebody about this it's.
Speaker 2: Going Maybe I just tell me by wait, my mom
Speaker 2: and dad just tells me I had to spine out
Speaker 2: on the hill. But she said, I just said to
Speaker 2: be okay, you just want to be I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: no problem.
Speaker 3: Eric.
Speaker 1: So so from where you're at a you can see
Speaker 1: it and be how close do you think it is
Speaker 1: to you?
Speaker 2: If I had to say miles wise, I mean i'd
Speaker 2: probably say about five miles, maybe four five maybe maybe less,
Speaker 2: maybe three miles because see Fred, I'm looking at the
Speaker 2: Santa Monica Mountains back and see him form my office
Speaker 2: here in my house right you know, Malibu Pepperdine. It's
Speaker 2: only five miles from me from my house. I mean,
Speaker 2: I go out here and make a left and I
Speaker 2: go straight down to the beach. So I'm looking at it.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the smoke right now over the over
Speaker 2: the older mountains. I mean, it was bad, like I
Speaker 2: seen you. I'll text you guys, some pictures on in
Speaker 2: a minute. But I mean when I got last night,
Speaker 2: when I got finally got up at three o'clock, I mean,
Speaker 2: the hill was lit up. It was lit up, and
Speaker 2: you can see the fire trucks up there. You could
Speaker 2: do the helicopters, you know. And they got the broke.
Speaker 2: They got a lot of burd that's blocked off, so
Speaker 2: you can't get in, you can't get out. I mean,
Speaker 2: it was it was scary because I'm gonna tell you know,
Speaker 2: the main thing is is that you know the insurance
Speaker 2: I mean, and you know that that's the problem. I mean,
Speaker 2: I gotta say, I mean, because you know, we got
Speaker 2: most people in this area got dropped, you know by
Speaker 2: the state farm all states, whoever you with. We have insurance,
Speaker 2: but it's just California Fan Plan and it's not the men.
Speaker 2: It's not the greatest insurance. And you know, I've always
Speaker 2: been over insured. You know, my my mother said, my
Speaker 2: mom talking to his son. Keep insurance on yourself, your house,
Speaker 2: you know, in your cars, because you never know what's
Speaker 2: gonna happen. And I've always had over insure. And when
Speaker 2: this happened for years ago, chub as my insurance carrier,
Speaker 2: you know, and I you know, it's six years ago.
Speaker 2: I have to big fire and we were out of
Speaker 2: this house for a year because of smoke. I was
Speaker 2: in a we was in a row house. And I
Speaker 2: got to say that, man, they were the best insurance
Speaker 2: carrier ever for me. And now I'm with California Stair Plan.
Speaker 2: I know I'm way under sure, like you can't. You
Speaker 2: can't get anything, that's the thing. And I mean, look,
Speaker 2: I love my house. I would say God gave it
Speaker 2: to me. And you know, I don't want to move,
Speaker 2: but I mean if I had to, I would, I would,
Speaker 2: I would move back to Texas. I was just going back,
Speaker 2: go back, go back on back to Texas.
Speaker 4: It can't be because the fires, the fires that happened
Speaker 4: a few years ago. That that the insurance companies are
Speaker 4: just not insurance in your area.
Speaker 2: Right right right? Yeah, yeah, they've been not insured in
Speaker 2: my area. I don't know. I mean certain certain parts
Speaker 2: of California they might insure, but not not over here.
Speaker 2: They want they want to insure you. As a matter
Speaker 2: of fact, I talked to my friend earlier, jeremina kid,
Speaker 2: and I asked her she got in She said, can't
Speaker 2: come to my house. I'm like, Okay, we're gonna see
Speaker 2: what's happening. And she's I said, you got insurance. She
Speaker 2: said no, she don't have insurance. She said they dropped me.
Speaker 2: We we you know, we're trying to deal with insurance.
Speaker 2: Come to but she said, they want to charge me
Speaker 2: an extra ten thousand dollars but no fire insurance. Like
Speaker 2: like like, I mean, that's crazy, but liked, Okay, I
Speaker 2: was paying. I was paying at one point. I mean
Speaker 2: I thought it was expensive, but it was cool because
Speaker 2: I knew, I know how good they were. Chill. I
Speaker 2: was paying like twenty five thousand dollars for home insurance.
Speaker 2: That's a lot. Yeah, that's a lot. Yeah, twenty twenty
Speaker 2: five thousand. Because I asked my friend Clyde Dresser in Houston.
Speaker 2: I said, now, what do you pay for insurance for
Speaker 2: your house? He said, well, just you know everything waterfire
Speaker 2: said about seventy five hundred a year. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: you just love to have that so so uh now
Speaker 2: when when when I when I was with State Farm
Speaker 2: and man, I can't stand stay far nade a bigg
Speaker 2: them a man. Every time I see Jake, I want
Speaker 2: to slap j tags, Jake, I mean them just a
Speaker 2: bunch of damn lies. Man, they are a bunch of liess.
Speaker 2: Like a good neighbor, a neighbor I want to go
Speaker 2: over the book. I ain't even say what I want
Speaker 2: to do to the neighbor. But anyway, I was paying
Speaker 2: forty five thousand dollars for homeowns and shirts, and at
Speaker 2: one point they were going to raise it to one
Speaker 2: hundred thousand. Wouldn't yes, one hundred thousand, one hundred thousand
Speaker 2: dollars for home on I mean playing anything. I'll say,
Speaker 2: like four thousand, thirty five hundred months for home owned
Speaker 2: the shirts. I mean that's a mortgage. I'm like, man, this,
Speaker 2: I mean this, man, And I say, it's crazy. It's
Speaker 2: crazy because I'm you know, I'm stressed out because you know,
Speaker 2: I know, I know my house is under shoot. I
Speaker 2: don't like being under shooter. But I have no I
Speaker 2: can't do nothing. I mean, it's what can I do?
Speaker 2: You know what?
Speaker 3: You really have to think about it.
Speaker 1: Years ago, and I don't know if either one of
Speaker 1: you remember this, and it was during the fire season
Speaker 1: and maybe this time because the winds were blowing, we
Speaker 1: were out in port a ranch uh, and the fire
Speaker 1: came up the hill. And when I say the fire
Speaker 1: came up the hill, if I walked out of my
Speaker 1: front core at about fifty feet forward, here comes the fire.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was that close, and everybody had to evacuate.
Speaker 1: Thank God, for whatever reason it stopped and did not
Speaker 1: just come a little more, because all of these houses
Speaker 1: would have been destroyed. And I thought, this is this
Speaker 1: is absolutely terrifying. There's nothing you can do. And in
Speaker 1: southern California, you know, we get this all the time.
Speaker 1: If you're in a certain area, the winds kick up
Speaker 1: the Santa Anna's and all of a sudden, there's a spark,
Speaker 1: something happens. I mean, we've seen the devastation the fires
Speaker 1: can cause. It's beautiful living here, and it's great living
Speaker 1: in the hills. And if you're in the proper place,
Speaker 1: and Eric you are, you're five miles from from Pepperdine
Speaker 1: and you go straight down and you're at the beach,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gorgeous. But there were some serious dangers
Speaker 1: that come along with that.
Speaker 2: It's terrible. I mean, my neighbor's house above my house,
Speaker 2: he had a house. It burned down. The fire burn
Speaker 2: to the gouse.
Speaker 3: Remember that. I think I remember that what you were
Speaker 3: talking about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because that fire came, it came from from from
Speaker 2: the freeway from Los Virgin's. It came, you know, the
Speaker 2: other way, so it went by past my house, I mean,
Speaker 2: And I got to say, the the insurance I mean
Speaker 2: of the guy from Chilled Up came to the house
Speaker 2: and he said, I gotta say it, I don't see
Speaker 2: how this house didn't burn. I said, Man, I got
Speaker 2: to tell you myself. I won't forget the night before
Speaker 2: we had to we left. My son. He was I
Speaker 2: think the house was about five then, and he drew
Speaker 2: a picture of the house with two angels next to
Speaker 2: it and say they're going to protect the house. And
Speaker 2: I got to say, my house did it was? It
Speaker 2: was amazing, cred I just got to say, members and
Speaker 2: God did it it did not burn? Because he can't
Speaker 2: because it was. And I didn't know because he told
Speaker 2: emberss getting the house. I'm like, yeah, how it was
Speaker 2: embrass all on my carpet, every un the bottom of
Speaker 2: the curtains in the house, in the yes, in the house,
Speaker 2: in the kitchen, and I mean every like like you know,
Speaker 2: you know, like somebody like they smoked a cigarette and
Speaker 2: put it put That's what it was all. It was
Speaker 2: everywhere inside the house, but nothing caught a fire. That's
Speaker 2: why it was just amazing. So I'm hoping, man it
Speaker 2: just like I said, I'm stressed out right now, but
Speaker 2: you know, I'm ready to go.
Speaker 1: Listen if while we're doing this, and I'll just say
Speaker 1: this before we even continue on, if you gotta go,
Speaker 1: you gotta go, all right.
Speaker 3: We want you come on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know they they'll they'll probably come up with you.
Speaker 2: And if I start if I like, I'm watching the
Speaker 2: plane go over. I tell you it's the trip of
Speaker 2: seeing these planes drop this retardant and the plane drop
Speaker 2: the water. I've seen like four of them come by.
Speaker 2: Go go over ahead. Uh, but you know it's it's
Speaker 2: just real smoky over over now the boot. I'm looking
Speaker 2: at the mountains right now, and man, it is it's scary.
Speaker 2: I mean it really is scary because that's fire.
Speaker 4: I can move so fast, so fast, and then and
Speaker 4: then on top of the fire, I mean it's the
Speaker 4: smoke damage too that you got to worry about as well.
Speaker 2: That just that's that's what happened to he last that's
Speaker 2: why we had to move out, because the smoke came
Speaker 2: to the house to get some clothes, just because we
Speaker 2: were to go into the hotel. And when I came
Speaker 2: into the house, man, oh, it was so strong the smoke,
Speaker 2: the smell, and you don't realize. I when you get
Speaker 2: back outside, you're staying there for a while. Kid, with
Speaker 2: your eyes burned. I got the closes, took him back
Speaker 2: to go back to the hotel, and I took him out.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, these clothes too smokey. They can't wear
Speaker 2: these clothes there too. I mean, it's just you know,
Speaker 2: it doesn't smell as bad when you you know, you're
Speaker 2: kind of in it for a minute. But this house
Speaker 2: was when I say it was smoky, it was there
Speaker 2: to tell all the walls out, took all the carpet out.
Speaker 2: It was a it was a big project. So but
Speaker 2: but like I said, stay from man, do you don't?
Speaker 2: I letally not even get on that subject. You know,
Speaker 2: Like I just anybody who got stay fun us. I'm
Speaker 2: sure they feel just like me, you know, like a
Speaker 2: good neighbor. That's a damn lie. Yeah, yeah, said well,
Speaker 2: I said, like a good enemy.
Speaker 1: I was like a good enemy's a good neighbor.
Speaker 3: That's a damn lie, that's a damn line.
Speaker 2: Right. Every time I seen Jake, I want to just
Speaker 2: choke him. I mean, I know you get pat of
Speaker 2: doing them live whatever.
Speaker 1: Oh god, all right, okay, well listen, you let you
Speaker 1: keep us posted and if you got to go.
Speaker 2: You go. Yeah, I'm watching. I'll keep you posted. But anyway, okay,
Speaker 2: let's go. Guys, we were talking about all right, Well,
Speaker 2: what we're.
Speaker 1: Talking about is we gotta let's take our first break.
Speaker 1: The Ford NFL Spotlight is driven by your Southern California
Speaker 1: Ford dealers. If there's one thing we like, it's choices.
Speaker 1: Fine yours with the Ford F one fifty gas hybrid
Speaker 1: or all electric. What you choose to do with that
Speaker 1: much power, that's up to you.
Speaker 3: Tough.
Speaker 1: This month can only be called that one fifty. So
Speaker 1: you head to your Southern California Ford dealers today for
Speaker 1: great offers on the Ford F one fifty and all
Speaker 1: Ford models during Ford's year end selathon. Problems on a plane?
Speaker 3: Have you had him?
Speaker 1: And if you had this one, we'll get into it next.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let's keep it moving. Come on, come on,
Speaker 1: Rod to Keith Fred Rogan the Hall of Famer Eric
Speaker 1: Dickinson on an NFL spotlight Tuesday. Yeah, come on, Freddy,
Speaker 1: talk about that airplane ride you had. All right, No,
Speaker 1: here's the deal. You guys both fly a lot, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you a story. I want you to
Speaker 1: tell me if you've encountered anything like this. So, a
Speaker 1: passenger on a plane sniffed out another traveler's file smelling
Speaker 1: food in a viral video he recently posted on social media.
Speaker 3: Here's the deal.
Speaker 1: There was some guy on the plane, cause you're gonna
Speaker 1: bring food on the plane, right, You can bring food
Speaker 1: eating a tuna melt. So he's saving a tuna melt.
Speaker 1: And a tuna melt could taste pretty good at a
Speaker 1: certain time. But the problem is the smell of the
Speaker 1: tuna melt permeated the plane. It continued. It was overwhelming,
Speaker 1: it was suffocating people and for the duration of the
Speaker 1: plane it smelled like tuna. Have either one of you
Speaker 1: ever encountered that.
Speaker 4: I actually have coming back from Philadelphia and it was Yeah,
Speaker 4: it was two people, a couple sitting right in front
Speaker 4: of me, and you know, one of them had a
Speaker 4: cheese steak with onions and provolone and jalapenos, and the
Speaker 4: other one had a tuna melt and they you know,
Speaker 4: had it in a bag and a container. And then
Speaker 4: once we took off, they opened that bad boy up
Speaker 4: and it smelled. I don't know about the entire plane,
Speaker 4: but the front half of the plane you could smell
Speaker 4: that tuna and that hogi and it and that cheese steak.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 3: You know, if you're not eating it. If you're not
Speaker 3: eating it, then it smells worse.
Speaker 4: Because if you're eating it, you're like, who that kind
Speaker 4: of smell is kind of gooda I'm gonna get into that.
Speaker 4: But if you're not eating it and you're just smelling it,
Speaker 4: it can be the worst smell. And not all tuna
Speaker 4: is created equal, because sometimes that tuna can smell so
Speaker 4: foul if you're in a closed environment and you throw
Speaker 4: some other stuff onions on there too, and that combination
Speaker 4: just makes it, oh, almost unbearable.
Speaker 3: I can only imagine what these people are going through.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I felt that Philadelphia a five hour flight
Speaker 4: from Philadelphia, LA, and then they opened that bad boy
Speaker 4: thirty minutes into the flight and was just going to town.
Speaker 4: It just you just couldn't wait for them to finish
Speaker 4: so they could give it to the flight attendant to
Speaker 4: throw it away. But they were savoring that thing for
Speaker 4: about an hour as they ate it. Yeah, all tuna
Speaker 4: does not smell like I would agree, New.
Speaker 1: New Well, it didn't have been worse if they had
Speaker 1: some deviled eggs on there along with it.
Speaker 3: You deal with that. Oh my god, we lost a
Speaker 3: d Yeah, we got a dial ed back in. Yeah. Uh,
Speaker 3: what about you, Fred? Have you have you? Have you
Speaker 3: ever dealt with that?
Speaker 2: No? I haven't dealt with that. I had. I had
Speaker 2: a different experience on the plane one time. Uh, the
Speaker 2: guy across from MENI was basically stinking and I mean,
Speaker 2: and I say stinking. I'm like, oh my gosh, you
Speaker 2: got next to me.
Speaker 3: Wait be you stinking or guessing?
Speaker 2: Oh? No, he smelled like I don't know what he
Speaker 2: smelled like. It was just nasty. And the guy next
Speaker 2: to me looking at me, and I'm like, hey, dog,
Speaker 2: I say that is not me. I say that's this
Speaker 2: guy over here, cause you know people, and people start
Speaker 2: looking back and I'm like, I'm like, you know, but
Speaker 2: I'm the only I'm the only brother in first class.
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, don't look at me. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 2: shaking my head doing this. I'm like, I'm pointing there,
Speaker 2: it's this guy over here. And the guy next to
Speaker 2: him got his face turned towards the window like we're
Speaker 2: gonna cut.
Speaker 1: Your hand on.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh my god, man. And that was
Speaker 2: a three hour flight and it wasn't no mad with masks, but.
Speaker 3: It was older from him, just his body.
Speaker 2: From him, his body order. I mean, he's like like
Speaker 2: he had ran up. He like he had ran from
Speaker 2: Dallas to l A, you know, and just got on
Speaker 2: the plane. So I'm like, I swear i've had that.
Speaker 2: I've never had the food smell, the body odor.
Speaker 1: Well did you say something to the guy in that situation?
Speaker 1: Does anybody say anything to him?
Speaker 3: What are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: No showers on the floor, no shower on the plane.
Speaker 2: What they're gonna do? I mean, people like I say,
Speaker 2: looking and pointing and like I said, the guy next
Speaker 2: to me, I say, dog, it ain't mean I said
Speaker 2: this guy here, And I'm like, okay, okay, okay, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean when I was at church one time and
Speaker 2: the guy connect to me, he said, next to me,
Speaker 2: she's mustairs agoat and the girl next to me got
Speaker 2: a place covered. She said, I him. He said I
Speaker 2: thought it was you. I said, he is him?
Speaker 3: Oh I had that.
Speaker 2: We had that.
Speaker 4: And in Atlanta we had one other intern that was
Speaker 4: a driver for us when we were doing that Peacock show,
Speaker 4: and she was the driver that came and picked us
Speaker 4: up and every morning for to go on to set.
Speaker 4: And I remember coming and coming coming out of the
Speaker 4: room as we're getting ready to go, like a distinct
Speaker 4: smell like man who's cooking some onions and eggs?
Speaker 3: Who's cooking? Because I didn't smell it before, and she
Speaker 3: was sitting there on the couch.
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, who's doing that? And I said nobody, okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: and go outside. Is gone, And then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden we get in the car. It's that same smell.
Speaker 1: You know what, once you smell something bad, you can't
Speaker 1: get rid of.
Speaker 2: You know that smell you can't.
Speaker 4: And I mean, as bad as it was, poor young girl,
Speaker 4: we had to get rid of her because there's no
Speaker 4: way I could sat in that car.
Speaker 3: It's thirty minute ride where we had to go, and.
Speaker 1: And this was early morning. It wasn't like at the
Speaker 1: end of the day. This was early morning that she
Speaker 1: was smelling like that, and say, oh my god, she
Speaker 1: must or a girlfriend.
Speaker 2: Or somebody that tells her, well like tuna must.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I wanted so so.
Speaker 4: That flight though, Fred they were Did the people complain,
Speaker 4: Did they try to get the people to stop eating
Speaker 4: the tuna?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: I mean, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: And that's the problem.
Speaker 3: What are you gonna do there? It is they're eating.
Speaker 1: And even even if you you say, hey, that's stunk, okay,
Speaker 1: let me throw that out, that smells still there.
Speaker 3: It doesn't evaporate. It still stings. It's like if you go.
Speaker 1: If you're at work and you know, you go to
Speaker 1: the kitchen when somebody's preparing their food and somebody decides,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna eat healthy, so I'm gonna make salmon. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make salmon. You know, I prepared it. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put it in the microwave, I'm gonna heat it up.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make salmon. Let me tell you something, if
Speaker 1: you make fish, you're going to smell it, right, You're
Speaker 1: going to smell it. Now, what are you gonna do? Rodney,
Speaker 1: I made fish. I didn't know and the whole place stinks.
Speaker 1: It doesn't go away in two minutes. It just stinks.
Speaker 3: So what can you do at that point?
Speaker 2: I mean?
Speaker 1: But I think the other point of this, which is
Speaker 1: interesting to me, is both of you, at one point
Speaker 1: or another in the somewhat recent past, have encountered someone
Speaker 1: that absolutely stinks.
Speaker 2: Just stinks. Yeah, And when that happens.
Speaker 1: I walked into a place recently, I was like, oh god,
Speaker 1: oh my god. And I was right next to this
Speaker 1: kind of like oh no, I mean, and it was
Speaker 1: so awful. And I always wonder if somebody does smell
Speaker 1: that bad, don't they realize they smell that bad?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you understand it.
Speaker 4: Or they don't have somebody close in their life, they
Speaker 4: don't have anybody close in their life that can say, hey, hey, hey,
Speaker 4: hey hey, you need a baby, you know, come on down,
Speaker 4: because there's no way somebody next especially you smell somebody
Speaker 4: like we're talking about that bad that they got somebody
Speaker 4: that's close in their life every single day that smells
Speaker 4: that and is okay with that.
Speaker 1: Unless unless that person smells as well, and then that
Speaker 1: that is their accepted odor. Yeah, that's what they smell like.
Speaker 1: I mean, I always wonder if you wake up. You've
Speaker 1: got to know you stink.
Speaker 2: You just gotta know.
Speaker 3: I mean, when you sit next.
Speaker 1: To people like this or run into them, your eyes
Speaker 1: begin to water and honestly you can't start choking. I mean,
Speaker 1: it is so overwhelming. You talk about smoking your house
Speaker 1: during the fire, Eric, I mean, this is just as bad.
Speaker 2: People. Let me ask you a question for you. So,
Speaker 2: if you sit next to a guy and it just
Speaker 2: said by chance he was on the plane before the
Speaker 2: plane and he was sneaking, what would you would you
Speaker 2: say something or what would you do?
Speaker 1: The first thing I would do is try to fake
Speaker 1: some sort of ailment and ask if I could change
Speaker 1: my seat.
Speaker 2: That'd be the first thing I would do. And what
Speaker 2: if the flight is fool and you need to get back, I.
Speaker 1: Would I would probably light a cigarette on the plane
Speaker 1: to try and get rid of.

Speaker 1: And I remember the the guys on the defense for
Speaker 1: they just got fed up so so much that they

Speaker 2: You don't. You don't forget those moments. I won't forget.
Speaker 2: It was a guy like you said, this guy in
Speaker 2: my high school, like, and I never forget. My dad
Speaker 2: was My dad was the best man I knew. And
Speaker 2: so we're driving to school and this guy his name
Speaker 2: he's driving, were driving. We see and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Speaker 2: Oh my god, man, I'm telling everybody knew he had
Speaker 2: a small.
Speaker 1: So the worst breath.
Speaker 3: You know this.
Speaker 1: This guy's no longer with us. So I'm a young cub,
Speaker 1: young cub reporter, and I had you know, started in Globe.
Speaker 1: I went to Yuma, Austin. But I'm back in Phoenix
Speaker 1: now and I'm working at NBC in Phoenix.
Speaker 3: I was like twenty.
Speaker 1: One, twenty two years old, and I'm doing the five
Speaker 1: o'clock sports and I think this is great. I grew
Speaker 1: up in Phoenix, I went to high school in Phoenix.
Speaker 1: My friends are gonna see me here, so I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do a bang up job, Rodney. I'm gonna kill it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna bust my ass, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do everything possible, and I'm gonna cover the things other
Speaker 1: people don't cover.
Speaker 2: Is.
Speaker 1: I continued on throughout my career in Los Angeles, but
Speaker 1: one thing that was underutilized or underserved there, I should say,
Speaker 1: was Arizona State basketball, the sun Devils. And these were
Speaker 1: teams with Alton Lister. Remember Alton Well, yeah, I remember
Speaker 1: Alton listed absolutely Okay.
Speaker 3: They had a good run. Uh huh okay.
Speaker 1: So anyway, scot days it kind of almost ran, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: So I would go out there and I would talk
Speaker 1: to the players. I think I talked to Byron when
Speaker 1: he was in college, as a matter of fact, And
Speaker 1: I would talk to the coach. And I don't know
Speaker 1: if you remember the coach. It was ned Walk. Wuld
Speaker 1: walk all right. So I would talk to ned Walk
Speaker 1: and the first time I ever talked to him, nice enough,
Speaker 1: guy had been there for years, a legend at the school.
Speaker 1: The first time I talked to him, I thought, maybe
Speaker 1: something smells. It was a bit uncomfortable talking to him,
Speaker 1: and I actually cut the interview short because I thought,
Speaker 1: my God would have I done. I mean, there's something
Speaker 1: wrong with me, wrong with you, because you smelled it
Speaker 1: wrong with you, because I thought because it was it
Speaker 1: was so overwhelming, I didn't think another human being, yeah,
Speaker 1: could be that way. It was ned Walke's breath, the
Speaker 1: worst breath.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 1: And every time I would talk to him, Yeah, yeah, Rodney, Yeah,
Speaker 1: every time I would talk to him, it got to
Speaker 1: a point and I really liked him. Why did you
Speaker 1: stop talking to him? For my own preservation, for my
Speaker 1: own safety and salvation? Because I couldn't do it any longer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And that was the worst.
Speaker 3: I've ever ever encountered.
Speaker 4: That's hard, you know. And yeah, and again got that
Speaker 4: somebody's got to have some tough love with people that
Speaker 4: you know, go out like that if you don't, you gotta,
Speaker 4: you know, carries carry those mint with you everywhere you go.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: We called Boca bread.
Speaker 3: Nedwalk, Banoca Breath.

Speaker 4: hope you're staying safe. Staying safe out there. Roddy P.
Speaker 1: Fred Rogan, Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson, Come on, d
Speaker 1: the Rams win. I mean let's just put it like that.
Speaker 1: They Buffalo, they're still alive, still alive, clinging to a
Speaker 1: playoff spot. Every game now for them is a playoff game.
Speaker 1: But if they can do what they did against Buffalo
Speaker 1: the rest of the way, not only do I think
Speaker 1: they make it, I think teams are gonna want to
Speaker 1: avoid them.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, the Rams are that tricky team. You know,
Speaker 2: one maye they look bad one way, they look like, Wow,
Speaker 2: everything's great, or they have one side of the bottle
Speaker 2: this because the defensive looked good, the offensive won't. We
Speaker 2: can't score in the red zone, or the defense can't
Speaker 2: stop anyone and the offense is spluttering too. So you
Speaker 2: just never know what you're going to get. I gotta say,
Speaker 2: And I didn't see the whole game. I saw some
Speaker 2: of the game on the plane. Uh, and I was shocked, shocked.
Speaker 2: I mean, I gonna lie. I think, Man, I say, man,
Speaker 2: bublog Bee, that's to death. And I was I was hoping.
Speaker 2: I'm sure I want him to. But we they'd been playing,
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, they probably gonna beat up on us
Speaker 2: really good. But I gotta say, and I've said this
Speaker 2: earlier in the year that Sean McVay has done a
Speaker 2: great job of coaching this team. This is this is
Speaker 2: a young football team, and I have a tendency to
Speaker 2: forget that part of it. You know, you got a
Speaker 2: lot of guys that are three four year guy four
Speaker 2: year players, and then that that's young in the National
Speaker 2: Football League. You know, they make a lot of mistakes,
Speaker 2: mistakes that we don't see right now, you know as
Speaker 2: well as I do. You know, sometimes you might not
Speaker 2: see a guy he missed the black, or he went
Speaker 2: the wrong ride, he went the wrong way, and the
Speaker 2: quarterback might have got sacked, or the running back missed
Speaker 2: the hole. You know, sometimes you can see that from
Speaker 2: the stands and the person said, oh, bo, I could
Speaker 2: have did that yet, right. But the team itself, I mean,
Speaker 2: I gotta say they play hard. They played really hard.
Speaker 2: I mean, man, some of the throws that Stafford made,
Speaker 2: but like, wow, I see man, was he was this
Speaker 2: She's in the sixteenth year. Man, he is he is
Speaker 2: truly like the true grit tough. I mean, he he
Speaker 2: is Eagan flingt I mean, and that's one of the
Speaker 2: reasons that we're still hanging in there. I mean, had
Speaker 2: a great game. Twelve catch one hundred and sixty two
Speaker 2: yards calling Williams he played well, had twenty nine carry.
Speaker 2: That's a lot of carriers, you know, this day and
Speaker 2: age for running back, you know, especially with the Rams.
Speaker 2: But you know right now behind Seattle, now we need
Speaker 2: to go to San Francisco and beat Sampiche. We can
Speaker 2: beat San Francisco and they got a lot of they
Speaker 2: got they got injuries also, but they're not playing any
Speaker 2: Bathroan we are right now. We just can't go up
Speaker 2: there and do what I think that we have attention
Speaker 2: to do is that give a big plays on defense.
Speaker 2: That's that's one of the problems. Like we'll stop them
Speaker 2: be third and thirty five and we get we'll give
Speaker 2: up we'll have a penalty for forty or give up
Speaker 2: a bomb a touchdown. We can't. We can't do that.
Speaker 2: So I think that's that's that's what we have to
Speaker 2: try to not do and play good foot. You know
Speaker 2: this list of this is our RIVALIY game and we
Speaker 2: hope to go and beat San Francisco.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, and you know, on on on Matthew
Speaker 4: stafford Man, we get so enamored, especially now talking about
Speaker 4: Mahomes and Josh Allen and Joe Burrow and some of
Speaker 4: the younger guys. But Matthew Stafford in terms of arm talent,
Speaker 4: is as good as any one of those guys, any
Speaker 4: one of them. He has that type of talent to
Speaker 4: throw the football and fit it and do it at
Speaker 4: different arm angles like anyone in the National Football leg
Speaker 4: and as good as anyone in the National Football League
Speaker 4: and doesn't always get the credit.
Speaker 3: And you know, the problem with the Rams is that
Speaker 3: the depth they have no depth.
Speaker 4: If they get hurt or injured at all, injured at
Speaker 4: all on any phase of their of their offense or defense,
Speaker 4: whether it be missing an offensive lineman or missing the
Speaker 4: receiver like Cooper Cup goes out or the Coup goes out,
Speaker 4: or you know, Kay Williams goes out, or they miss
Speaker 4: an offensive lineman or defensive lineman, then they're then they're
Speaker 4: struggling depth wise. The Rams don't have the depth to
Speaker 4: maintain that. And that's been you know, part of their issue.
Speaker 4: When they're healthy, You're right, you said it. Fit they're
Speaker 4: a team that nobody really wants to face when they're healthy.
Speaker 1: And the thing about them is they're they're hanging around.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, think of this for a second, if
Speaker 1: you look what the Dodgers did this year. Now, obviously
Speaker 1: the Dodgers won their division, but the adversity that team
Speaker 1: had to face, and by facing that adversity once they
Speaker 1: hit the playoffs, they were at a different level. If
Speaker 1: you really look at the Rams this year, they have
Speaker 1: been through an awful lot, and Indy, you nailed it.
Speaker 1: You know, some weeks pretty good and other week's awful.
Speaker 1: Guys were hurt, they were bad. Guys came back, they
Speaker 1: were still bad, but then they were good. If you
Speaker 1: just look at this, if they continue to play like
Speaker 1: this with this young roster and hoping that don't make
Speaker 1: a ton of mistakes, they're gonna end up winning the West.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna end up winning the West with Seattle.
Speaker 1: You know, Seattle's the team that's kind of right there.
Speaker 1: They've been holding around and everybody's not talking about Arizona
Speaker 1: had their little quick run where I thought Arizona was
Speaker 1: going to be the team. The Rams are just like
Speaker 1: you said, fred Head, hanging around, hanging around, hanging around.
Speaker 1: They beat the forty nine ers this week. I think
Speaker 1: the Rams go on and and and and win the division,
Speaker 1: and then it becomes one of those. Okay, do you
Speaker 1: really want to see us?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, And that's true. I Mean they got they've
Speaker 2: got the forty nine ers, they've got the Jets, and
Speaker 2: they've got the Cardinals who left I guess on on
Speaker 2: the schedule, you know. And and the thing is we
Speaker 2: could we could beat all three of those teams. They
Speaker 2: really could. And that you know, right like I can say, Man,
Speaker 2: you just never know what team's going to show up.
Speaker 2: That's that's the problem. I mean, you know with certain teams,
Speaker 2: you know, they're consistent. I mean, the good teams are consistent.
Speaker 2: I mean you got to say, like the like the
Speaker 2: Chiefs consistent right now, the Lions they're consistent, The Eagles,
Speaker 2: they're consistent, the Steagers, the Steelers they're they're they're pretty consistent.
Speaker 2: And that's what you want, is you know, as a
Speaker 2: former player, man, the consistency is the big thing. You
Speaker 2: can't lose games that you that you should win. Go
Speaker 2: back to man, we should have beat Chicago. I mean
Speaker 2: we really should have beat Chicago, but we didn't. You know,
Speaker 2: I said, I always say lose to say that, but
Speaker 2: but then you look at Chicago now, I mean they're
Speaker 2: they're they're mest. Matter of fact, we talked to which
Speaker 2: were talked to other players yesterday and he was saying, man,
Speaker 2: the offensive line is a disaster. One guy said that
Speaker 2: he got sick. You know he before that right for it,
Speaker 2: I guess for the game. He got sick. So he said, Okay,
Speaker 2: if you started, don't go go make thirty million dollars.
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess you know, it's contract, and and
Speaker 2: they cut in. I'm like, so, I mean, everybody has
Speaker 2: their problems on their teams. But you know, when when
Speaker 2: you when you when you like our team, I think
Speaker 2: about the rams. You know, they think and take care
Speaker 2: of their own business. You know, winning winning solves all that.
Speaker 2: They don't have to worry about the don't have to
Speaker 2: depend on something. You know, you have to depend on
Speaker 2: somebody else to lose. And we need to win. You know.
Speaker 2: If they go ahead and win, you know, and they'll
Speaker 2: they'll win to win the division and be in the playoffs.
