Speaker 4: He's a policeman. And he said he think he can
Speaker 4: help you. He can help you get into the neighborhood

Speaker 4: a long spirt short. About eleven o'clock at night, eleven
Speaker 4: thirty at night, we got there. He let us in,
Speaker 4: you know, let us pass because he had to come
Speaker 4: from another area of Chessworth. And man, we watered the
Speaker 4: house down, walked the grass to you know, all the
Speaker 4: polidge in front of it. But it was a trip
Speaker 4: to see it. I mean, that thing was shooting water everywhere.
Speaker 4: And I thank God for for gym. And but you know,
Speaker 4: my house is good now. I did my neighbor's house.
Speaker 4: I did a couple of my neighbors houses right there
Speaker 4: by mine that weren't home. But man, it is it's
Speaker 4: scary looking at that. I mean, like I said, this
Speaker 4: is like the fifth one I've been through, fire Man,
Speaker 4: and I cannot lie. Man, I'm getting sick of this.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm just getting tired of it. I hate
Speaker 4: to say. I mean I'm thinking about possibly moving back
Speaker 4: to Texas. I mean it might be a chance. I
Speaker 4: I just got to go back home. This is just
Speaker 4: you can't get insurance out of here. And I have
Speaker 4: horrible I've always had top notch insurance. I've got terrible
Speaker 4: insurance through California Fair Plan. I mean, if my house
Speaker 4: burned down, I have no charts with to move back
Speaker 4: because I can't. I don't have you know, seventyllion dollars
Speaker 4: of putting the house to put it back up. I mean,
Speaker 4: we got three million dollars in insurance. I mean, I've
Speaker 4: always had over insured, always been that guy to have
Speaker 4: over insured. And you know, so we talked to one
Speaker 4: insurance company. What do you think they quoted me on
Speaker 4: insurance my house? This insurance just just take a wild
Speaker 4: wild guess before before we guess you had insurance and
Speaker 4: it was canceled.
Speaker 3: Is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I had, I had State Farm and Timmy taysum. State
Speaker 4: Farm is the worst. I absolutely hate State Farm you
Speaker 4: know I feel about State Farm them commercials on there.
Speaker 4: I want to choke the hell out of Jake, and
Speaker 4: I know Jake just getting a check. But they are
Speaker 4: such liars. They are the worst of the worst insurance companies.
Speaker 4: They seriously are you know. I tell you I wrote
Speaker 4: this level to the CEO. He didn't call me back.
Speaker 4: He had some crony called me. I told him what
Speaker 4: I said. You the water boy. Why you know, they
Speaker 4: just they just they just crap insurance. I mean they
Speaker 4: don't do nothing. They say I got when I was
Speaker 4: a Chubb, best insurance company ever. I got to say,
Speaker 4: best insurance company ever I've ever dealt with. Everything was
Speaker 4: first class. They moved out of California.
Speaker 3: Perfect.
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean they were over they when they
Speaker 4: when you when you talk about going over and beyond
Speaker 4: what they're supposed to do, That's what kind of insurance.
Speaker 3: Company that is.
Speaker 4: But State Farm Man, they just don't get pissed off.
Speaker 4: But anyway, which what was your next question for so
Speaker 4: what happens?
Speaker 2: Says, all right, they canceled your insurance and you had
Speaker 2: to find insurance, right, what was that you?
Speaker 4: Californ a card as hell, California fair playing, that's what
Speaker 4: you got. You know, my house is worth it, you
Speaker 4: know about I don't know on a really good part
Speaker 4: of ten million dollars, Thank God. I mean, that's all
Speaker 4: my money's in my house. I mean, it really is.
Speaker 4: I mean, and I had it insured for about ten
Speaker 4: or twelve million dollars. You know, I had a great insurance.
Speaker 4: Right now it's insured for three million dollars. Man, I
Speaker 4: don't I don't have another seven million dollars put into
Speaker 4: a house to rebuild it. I mean, I don't. I
Speaker 4: mean I always just have to get out of here.
Speaker 4: I mean, for sure, i'd go back home, back to Texas.
Speaker 4: But I got to say this. I always say this.
Speaker 4: I said, God gave me that house. I always say
Speaker 4: it all the time. I said, he's protected through every fire.
Speaker 4: Matter of fact, that one well six years ago when
Speaker 4: I was a Chub insurance the insurance agent, and we
Speaker 4: still friends. I still talk to him. He's retired now.
Speaker 4: He said, when he came to my house, said Eric,
Speaker 4: I don't see how this house did not burn down.
Speaker 4: Custody fire went around the house. He said, it was
Speaker 4: resolt in the house. I m resolt in my house.
Speaker 4: I don't I say, I say, God save my house.
Speaker 4: So I've been fortunate so many times with my house.
Speaker 4: And I feel bad for these people out here because
Speaker 4: you know how California is. They got all these rules
Speaker 4: and laws, and I know they're gonna try to not
Speaker 4: let people rebuild back in Pacific Palisades and probably on
Speaker 4: the Coast Highway.
Speaker 3: You know they're gonna make it. They're gonna make it
Speaker 3: very difficult.
Speaker 4: And you know, the sad thing is everybody thinks because
Speaker 4: you live in Pacific Palasads, you live in Calabasas, and
Speaker 4: you live in where, but that you got a lot
Speaker 4: of money.
Speaker 3: You rich. I'm not rich.
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 4: I mean, I was fortunate enough to buy my house
Speaker 4: in the eighties. I mean seriously, and it's just went up,
Speaker 4: thank God. The thing is is a lot of these
Speaker 4: people I see people on TV says we're not rich.
Speaker 4: My lady said, I'm taking care of my my, my
Speaker 4: my mother in law, that my husband's dad.
Speaker 3: Mind about this house. I mean, we don't even we.
Speaker 5: Don't have we don't have people been in there for
Speaker 5: fifty years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been in an op thirty nine years.
Speaker 4: I've been I've been there that long. So I mean, man,
Speaker 4: it's just it, it's really so wrong. How these insurance
Speaker 4: companies come here and run out of town. They make
Speaker 4: all the money and run out of town. But this
Speaker 4: was the worst one I've seen. I still one in
Speaker 4: ninety three I thought was bad, really bad, But this
Speaker 4: one was. This one was worse.
Speaker 2: I gotta say, did they make you evacuation.
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 4: Then they told we should evacuate so when you left
Speaker 4: you couldn't go back. So like right now, on my street,
Speaker 4: on the corner of Las Fergus and mul Holland, the
Speaker 4: National Guard is there, so you can't go up to
Speaker 4: the house. I mean, I could see my house from
Speaker 4: the corner. I went there yesterday because I had to
Speaker 4: get some medicine, and I could see the house and
Speaker 4: the gods. Brian said, he said, okay, see these cones
Speaker 4: right here. If I step over the cones, I can't
Speaker 4: go back. Right If you got I can't go back
Speaker 4: to my house. So if he drove his car down
Speaker 4: and gave me some medicine I needed. But you know,
Speaker 4: it's just it's just a joke, man. It's I mean,
Speaker 4: I was city leaders. I mean, I don't get me
Speaker 4: on it. It's just it's it's a joke, man. It's
Speaker 4: it's California. We paid the most in taxes, gasoline, we
Speaker 4: pay the most in everything, everything, everything.
Speaker 3: You're taking care of.
Speaker 4: When I saw the lady on TV saying I forgot
Speaker 4: who she worked somewhere with the city kind whatever, and
Speaker 4: she said, our fire department is like the fire department
Speaker 4: from the nineteen eighties, I'm like, what, and it's twenty
Speaker 4: twenty four. She said, we have fire trucks in the graveyard.
Speaker 4: We have ambulance in the graveyard.
Speaker 3: We sent that.
Speaker 4: And then we said we sent our equipment over the Ukraine.
Speaker 4: I mean, we take care of everyone but our damn selves. Basically.
Speaker 4: That's that's how I look at it. You know, if
Speaker 4: you live in the United States, if you're from here,
Speaker 4: you might you might just say, hey, you know what,
Speaker 4: just go live in my house. I'm gonna get out
Speaker 4: of here and just let you have it. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's just it's so frustrating. I think that's one of
Speaker 4: the reasons I want I love look at me wrong,
Speaker 4: Preyd and Ridney.
Speaker 3: I love California, I do.
Speaker 4: I love it, but it just makes you just so
Speaker 4: many things just make you want to get out of
Speaker 4: here because it's.
Speaker 3: Just so ass backwards, because.
Speaker 4: It's ass backwards. Like it's like it's like ride like good.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get on the horse and I'm gonna ride bawards.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna face the other ways California. That's that's a
Speaker 4: long jel. I don't want to ride both. I want
Speaker 4: to ride the back. I want to ride backwards.
Speaker 5: It's like it's like, yeah, no, you're right, you're right.
Speaker 5: I mean when you you look at it, and people
Speaker 5: always say, oh, why you live out there in California.
Speaker 5: You pay all those taxes and all that stuff, and
Speaker 5: you and and you know, he answers, oh, the weather's grade,
Speaker 5: the proximity is grade, all that stuff. But it should
Speaker 5: be because we pay these taxes for reasons like this,
Speaker 5: for situations like this, when something tragic happens in this
Speaker 5: state or or a city like this, it should be
Speaker 5: that's why you pay the tax. Because everything is taken
Speaker 5: care of and everything is class and everything is right,
Speaker 5: you know, And you say, yeah, I can live with
Speaker 5: the taxes because I know when I'm in a disaster
Speaker 5: or tragedy or fire or floods or whatever, then earthquake,
Speaker 5: whatever it may be, I know I'm gonna be taken
Speaker 5: care of it, because that's why I pay all that
Speaker 5: money in them taxes. And it's the opposite. It's like,
Speaker 5: how in the world companies drop people? How can they
Speaker 5: drop in the middle of the fire?
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't get it. And then then you get then
Speaker 4: you got the looters. Then you got you got the looters.
Speaker 4: I mean the people are looting. I mean that is that?
Speaker 4: That to me, that's like the lowest of the low, low,
Speaker 4: low class. They should throw their asses in jail. Except
Speaker 4: the fires, they should drop them in the middle of it.
Speaker 4: You want to play with the fire, Okay, we'll drop
Speaker 4: you ass in the middle of the fire.
Speaker 3: Let you get what it's like.
Speaker 4: I mean a matter of fact, when I did get
Speaker 4: a chance to go to the house, when I went,
Speaker 4: when I came over with the truck, I stayed at
Speaker 4: home that night.
Speaker 3: You know, we don't have any power.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, I kept hearing something said I said, no,
Speaker 4: let me get my pistol.
Speaker 3: Let me get my gun.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do with my gun because I'm I'm a
Speaker 4: I'm a gun total. I have several guns at home.
Speaker 4: I believe in weapons. I'm from Texas. I believe in
Speaker 4: protecting yourself. What it called it?
Speaker 3: What is it called?
Speaker 4: The First Amendment? Writers that the one is called you
Speaker 4: take carr of gun? A second amendment? Right is whatever
Speaker 4: it is, whatever it is. I'm a gun total, and
Speaker 4: I'm telling you you come to my house, I will
Speaker 4: shoot your ass. And I ain't nothing trying to drag
Speaker 4: in and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: Drag him.
Speaker 4: No, I ain't in the dragass. You get shot outside,
Speaker 4: that's what your ass gonna lay.
Speaker 5: You're gonna you're gonna have. You're gonna shoot him while
Speaker 5: you're on the phone with nine one one. I just
Speaker 5: shot nine one.
Speaker 3: I just shot. I just shot through. I just I
Speaker 3: just under a whole clip.
Speaker 4: I don't know if they out there not, but they
Speaker 4: know they've been shot it so ain't no doubt about that.
Speaker 4: So you know, it's just it's just man, they gonna say,
Speaker 4: but god, you know, I'm probably they can shoot it me.
Speaker 4: But if I shoot at them, they'll probably arrest me
Speaker 4: and let them let the other guy go.
Speaker 1: I can say.
Speaker 4: It's asked back with the California What you're doing with

Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: So the Rams last night, they really stuck into the
Speaker 2: vikings pretty good. It was a good moment for the Rams,
Speaker 2: a great moment for the city. Eric, They certainly rose
Speaker 2: to the occasion. Now Philadelphia is on the horizon, and
Speaker 2: what do you think of that one?
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I want to say this. I
Speaker 4: called I know Nicole Bidwill of the Arizona Cardinals, so
Speaker 4: I sent her a text and I wanted to say,
Speaker 4: I want to thank you for making our team feel
Speaker 4: at home, having the emblem on the on the field,
Speaker 4: find the families, out, the pets, girlfriends, everything.
Speaker 3: I said.
Speaker 4: I just wanted to thank you, and she was like,
Speaker 4: she I don't FaceTime. She facetimed me and s Eric said,
Speaker 4: I just wanted it was it was my honor, you know.
Speaker 4: She said we had to go we they had to
Speaker 4: actually go to Mississippi to get the paint because we
Speaker 4: didn't have the color. She said, they drove a truck
Speaker 4: down from Mississippi. Uh So I just once again, I
Speaker 4: want to say that was the first class move to
Speaker 4: send them both both planes down to bring everyone over.
Speaker 4: And I mean, like I said, I really want to
Speaker 4: thank her for that because they didn't have to do that.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a that's in our conference. You know,
Speaker 4: it's not a rivalry. But I mean I've always liked
Speaker 4: Nicole and I sent to her and a brother. They
Speaker 4: did the first class job on that, so I want
Speaker 4: to thank them fors for that. Now talking about the
Speaker 4: football game, I mean, Fred, you said they're gonna lose.
Speaker 3: I get you pick. You picked.
Speaker 4: You picked the Vikings, and everybody saying, well, we should
Speaker 4: play the Commanders. I'm like, man, I ain't should want
Speaker 4: to play the Commanders because that go on the back
Speaker 4: is really good. He's at he's there, he can run,
Speaker 4: he can throw. Uh I liked him. We played the
Speaker 4: Vikings because we had beat them before, and we beat them,
Speaker 4: you know, without all our players in the game. And Sunday,
Speaker 4: I mean last night, I mean, they dominate that game
Speaker 4: from the very beginning. The first drive. I got to
Speaker 4: give Matt Stafford. He didn't throw the ball that much.
Speaker 4: You know, he didn't have to. I mean the defense
Speaker 4: played fantastic. I mean they really shut the Vikings down.
Speaker 4: The Bikings have a high powered offense. And what's the
Speaker 4: quarterback name for the Viking the usc fella? Yeah, Sam
Speaker 4: Don Mark Sam Sam Sam Sam Sam Donald. I think, man,
Speaker 4: that might be the last time he played the Biking uniform.
Speaker 4: I mean, but you know it wasn't his fault. I
Speaker 4: mean you got to say, because that defense man was
Speaker 4: he had no time. They could say hold the ball,
Speaker 4: but he hadn't. He was no where to throw it.
Speaker 4: I got to give McVeigh and I've always said McVeigh
Speaker 4: I think is a great coach man. He really is.
Speaker 4: I mean I think he's he's a bother as a coach.
Speaker 4: He runs the football sometimes when you think he shouldn't
Speaker 4: run it. Uh, he doesn't get off his game plan
Speaker 4: because I think when he first became a head coach,
Speaker 4: I would see sometimes he panic. You know, I could
Speaker 4: tell you anyone he like falling behind. And but when
Speaker 4: they when one thing. When the Rams scored first, pretty
Speaker 4: much they win the football game. And when they scored first,
Speaker 4: I said, they didn't win this game. And the defense
Speaker 4: I got to say, was dominant last night. Dominant. So
Speaker 4: all the fans that travel over, yeah yeah, I couldn't
Speaker 4: travel over. Hey, good way to go ram fans, way
Speaker 4: to show up and uh way.
Speaker 3: To go Los Angeles Rams.
Speaker 4: And you know playing Philadelphia, I mean Philadelphia beat us
Speaker 4: down the first time they really did. I mean safe
Speaker 4: one Barkley the reason he got close to getting close
Speaker 4: to my record two thousand. You know, he had two
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty five yards rushing. That's like having two
Speaker 4: and a half football games, right, that really is. I mean,
Speaker 4: that's that's how that's how great he played. H Philadelphia
Speaker 4: has one of the best offensive lines in football. They
Speaker 4: have a I think the best defense in football, specially
Speaker 4: the deeps best defensive line. They have a really good quarterback.
Speaker 4: He's acual too. But let's I think that the you know,
Speaker 4: when you get embarrassed like that, when you play a
Speaker 4: football team, you don't get embarrassed again. I think this
Speaker 4: game will be a very good game. I think it'd
Speaker 4: be very close. This game we can win because you
Speaker 4: know what, Fred, nobody expect us to be here. I've
Speaker 4: got to go back to what I said at the
Speaker 4: beginning of the year, what did I say, Fred? Three
Speaker 4: to five games? That's all the song. I could see.
Speaker 2: No more.
Speaker 4: I couldn't. I said, I want us to win more.
Speaker 4: But I don't see it. I'm not over there every day.
Speaker 4: I don't see the personnel. I don't know the guys,
Speaker 4: the young guys that we have. I don't know how
Speaker 4: good the defense is. I didn't see up to Aaron
Speaker 4: Donald Beth. I'm like, man, we just had Aaron Donald Backett.
Speaker 4: But you know, I saw Aaron a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 4: He said, I said, you like very tited. I said,
Speaker 4: love it.
Speaker 3: So he's liking that.
Speaker 4: But I've got to say the defense really really has
Speaker 4: stepped up these last couple of weeks, and last night
Speaker 4: they did, and let's just hope Sunday when they played
Speaker 4: the Philadelphia Eagles, because they have something to proves, because
Speaker 4: Philly came in here a couple of weeks ago and really,
Speaker 4: they bitch slapped him. That's what I all like say.
Speaker 4: They slapped him around and then left and laughed at them.
Speaker 4: And you know how Philly and Philly fans are nasty.
Speaker 4: They they nasty fans. I mean, I saw where they
Speaker 4: were cursing an old, older lady just for having a
Speaker 4: package jersey. I mean, I've never liked going to Philly.
Speaker 4: I've never like playing in phillip Sorry, I played mans
Speaker 4: fans hate they hate themselves. Oh they do, they do.
Speaker 4: I hope I win Philly. They booed me in warm ups.
Speaker 5: When I tell you, Philly fans, they booed me in
Speaker 5: warm ups.
Speaker 1: You know how you warm up.
Speaker 5: Man, You know, you just running through stuff and plays
Speaker 5: and whatever and and uh, you know, you do a
Speaker 5: little seven on seven and then you get the team
Speaker 5: together before you go in. Uh.
Speaker 1: It was like two plays in a row, like overthrew the.
Speaker 5: Cat, you know, on the sideline, and then I threw
Speaker 5: one when the guy was a little high and guy
Speaker 5: dropped the fans behind, like game even even sturdy yet,
Speaker 5: and they booing me.
Speaker 1: Thank god we were they first series though. We went
Speaker 1: down and scored.
Speaker 3: But man, they was booring.
Speaker 1: They was dog cussing me, booing me. They can't.
Speaker 5: I got to a point where I couldn't. Holly couldn't
Speaker 5: come to the games in the stands. He couldn't send
Speaker 5: the stands. Yeah, we Holly, Holly couldn't come in the
Speaker 5: stands because he was getting fights.
Speaker 1: Yes, fight, believe yes, he was getting a fight. Man,
Speaker 1: ain't the care. This is fans in the in the
Speaker 1: in the family section.
Speaker 4: You know the fans they are they are like, I
Speaker 4: don't know, like man, they nasty fans. I mean they
Speaker 4: make the Raider fans look like like priests, Christians, like
Speaker 4: a good old Christians, like a.
Speaker 1: Monk oh Man.
Speaker 5: But I will say, you know, obviously right the defense,
Speaker 5: I am, I've not seen that young defense play like that.
Speaker 5: They like they were they ain't been fed in two
Speaker 5: months and they they were eating And yeah, Sammy, Sammy
Speaker 5: and I talked about this earlier. Sam Sam held on
Speaker 5: the ball a couple of times too long and a
Speaker 5: few of them sacks were on him.
Speaker 1: But man, he had he had people in his face
Speaker 1: all night long.
Speaker 5: And it's unfortunate, like we said, it's unfortunately because he
Speaker 5: probably lost about dollars, you know, them thinking about retaining
Speaker 5: him and signing him back in Minnesota. Now all the
Speaker 5: talk is okay, let's get ready for JJ McCarthy next year,
Speaker 5: and Sam's gonna you know, free agent is gonna go
Speaker 5: somewhere else. I say, I caution that because you better
Speaker 5: be careful. You better know that JJ McCarthy is gonna
Speaker 5: be good and really good. He ain't played it down
Speaker 5: in the NFL yet. And if you get rid of
Speaker 5: him then and and he goes somewhere else and comes
Speaker 5: back to haunt you, that's gonna be on you. So
Speaker 5: they they're in a they're in an interesting situation with
Speaker 5: because he not, you know, not trying to make He
Speaker 5: shouldn't make Dak Prescott money, but he should get paid
Speaker 5: by somebody. And I don't know, you know Minnesota, you know,
Speaker 5: goes that route and says, okay, we're gonna get rid
Speaker 5: of Sam and go with JJ. They just better be
Speaker 5: careful because they better be sure that net Cloty always
Speaker 5: say somebody in the wings better be better than what
Speaker 5: you got.
Speaker 1: You better be better than what you got.
Speaker 5: But what I also saw on the Rams is and
Speaker 5: I said, he do you tell me the difference between
Speaker 5: the RAM game and the Charger game is that it
Speaker 5: felt with all the hype and all the things going
Speaker 5: on to transferring the game to to Phoenix and you
Speaker 5: know the Cardinals, you know in the NFL coming on
Speaker 5: board and making that field look like it was the
Speaker 5: RAM field and all that kind of stuff, and the
Speaker 5: buses coming over from the Rams. I mean all of
Speaker 5: that was documented, all of the you know, the the
Speaker 5: Rams wearing La F's you know, FD on the sweatshirts
Speaker 5: and all the players have it on the T shirts
Speaker 5: underneath their jerseys and all that kind of stuff. It
Speaker 5: just felt that they went all out and were on
Speaker 5: a mission to to.
Speaker 1: Do this for the city of l A.
Speaker 3: Most definitely, I feel the same. I think that they
Speaker 3: wanted I felt.
Speaker 1: It like give them something to love.
Speaker 4: From the time the game started, I felt like, we're
Speaker 4: gonna win this football game. I don't know why, and
Speaker 4: I just I just probably gonna win the football game.
Speaker 4: I felt they were ready for this game. You know,
Speaker 4: we were underdogs. I think what's the coach told uh
Speaker 4: uh one of the wish coach said, what I will
Speaker 4: see you in two weeks.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And you know that's that's that's bulletboard material, you
Speaker 4: know how you know how they ride you say something
Speaker 4: about a team player or they put that in. I
Speaker 4: ain't know they still did that hurt the Rams out
Speaker 4: that was that was on their bulletin.
Speaker 2: Troit said that right Detroit Daniel Dan Campbell said, Dan Cambell.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we'll see you. We'll see you in two weeks.
Speaker 4: You know, basically, you know you're gonna beat the Rams.
Speaker 4: You know you'll beat them, So we'll see you in
Speaker 4: two weeks. But it just goes to show that uh football,
Speaker 4: you gotta play that, you got to play the game.
Speaker 4: You have to play the game. And you know, it
Speaker 4: felt like, truly, I got to say, the game that
Speaker 4: I watched with with with the Chargers and the game
Speaker 4: that I watched with with uh l A, it seemed
Speaker 4: more like the Rams were at home than even the Chargers.
Speaker 4: I mean, they felt like they were like like next
Speaker 4: time most a home game you almost forgot because it
Speaker 4: looked so much like I would do with the Ram.
Speaker 3: In the field.
Speaker 4: I mean that with the the atmosphere in the stadium,
Speaker 4: the way fans, yeah, the crowd, the crowd everything.
Speaker 3: I mean, so most definitely I'm glad we're over there
Speaker 3: to take to take care of business. So and I
Speaker 3: keep telling you, Fredd about that little team cross Town.
Speaker 3: I says, little team. You know.
Speaker 4: You kept saying, oh yeah, you know, he's what he
Speaker 4: said last week. Ridney's he done some.
Speaker 3: Miraculous miraculous, miraculous the year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like oh Fred, he was some poet pumped
Speaker 4: in a skyty exactly.
Speaker 2: All right, let's say, Eric, they did it pretty good.
Speaker 2: I think I think they actually, And of course, and
Speaker 2: the funny thing about this is, first, I thought they
Speaker 2: did a good job of cementing whatever footprint they have
Speaker 2: in the marketplace. And I think Jim Harbaugh will continue
Speaker 2: to grow them and make them better. Here's the dilemma,
Speaker 2: and it's the Lakers and Clippers have to face it.
Speaker 2: The Kings and Ducks have to face it, and other
Speaker 2: chargers have to face it with the Rams. You know something,
Speaker 2: when one is hot and starts to go and the
Speaker 2: other doesn't, you forget about the other one in the
Speaker 2: market like this, so reverse it. If the Rams had
Speaker 2: been smoked and the Chargers had won, we'd be going, well,
Speaker 2: look at the Chargers and the Rams kind of fall off.
Speaker 3: If if was the fifth, we'd all be drunk. That's
Speaker 3: it for it.
Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, that's what losers always say that. Man,
Speaker 4: if we did I'm telling you, man, we had them
Speaker 4: get the man.
Speaker 3: We man. Our defense had three turns. We may have
Speaker 3: turned about three times.
Speaker 1: Man we did.
Speaker 2: We know what I'm saying, but because of the ramsay, and.
Speaker 3: That's what losers say that though the ram did win.
Speaker 2: What I'm saying because the Rams won, the Charges take
Speaker 2: a step back.
Speaker 4: No, I'm gonna say this fair. If the Chargers would
Speaker 4: have won and the Rams would have lost. Okay, Chargers
Speaker 4: are still the Chargers. Just don't get that confused.
Speaker 3: There's still a little team cross town. It's like the Clippers.
Speaker 5: Know.
Speaker 4: Look, look I've been in the stadium. I've been this
Speaker 4: Clippers game. An exciting game, but they gonna always be
Speaker 4: the Clippers.
Speaker 3: You know. They never gonna be the Lakers.
Speaker 4: It's like the like the Anaheim the Angels down Anaheim,
Speaker 4: They're gonna always be the angel and the Dodgers gonna
Speaker 4: always be the Dodgers. I don't care how you fix it.
Speaker 4: I don't care who the coaches. They can bring New
Speaker 4: Rockney back and put him on the side. They still
Speaker 4: don't be the Chargers. They need to say Dash and Santiago.
Speaker 1: They need to do.

Speaker 1: Come on, let's go.
Speaker 2: All right, So the Rams have the Eagles coming up
Speaker 2: this weekend, and that means they'll have a chance to
Speaker 2: play against Eagle receiver AJ Brown and uh Brown was
Speaker 2: caught on the sideline reading a book. Now, the camera
Speaker 2: caught him reading the book, and everybody thought, what is
Speaker 2: he reading? And after the game he said, well, this
Speaker 2: is not unusual for me. I read all the time.
Speaker 2: It's just the first time anybody caught me reading the
Speaker 2: book on the sideline.
Speaker 1: Guys, you by that, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do. I mean.
Speaker 4: Look, I mean, first of all, when you're on the sidelines, Fred,
Speaker 4: you know you don't have to be like watching the game.
Speaker 4: Like I can say this much. You two things that
Speaker 4: I didn't watch when it went to kickoff. Uh uh,
Speaker 4: I turned my back to that. It was just too violent.
Speaker 4: I couldn't watch it. I hated it. Point return, same thing.
Speaker 4: Couldn't watch it. Too violent. I mean you could be
Speaker 4: on the sideline then whatever. I mean, I'm back in
Speaker 4: the day, guys on the sideline smoking. I mean, there's
Speaker 4: a lot of things. I mean, you got your back turn.
Speaker 4: You can sit there with your head. Be honest with you,
Speaker 4: what what's the difference you had books?
Speaker 1: So what you think? Whatever?
Speaker 4: Yeah, when it's your turn to get out there, you go, yeah, sure,
Speaker 4: you know it's defense out there.
Speaker 1: I remember, yeah, being a fiel. I remember Philly.
Speaker 5: They came at me hard because I wasn't up watching
Speaker 5: the defense when I was when we were off the field,
Speaker 5: I'm sitting on the bench and you know sometimes you know,
Speaker 5: when you get off, you go through.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is what happened last year. This is how
Speaker 1: they played.
Speaker 5: You look at these pictures or look at this, you know,
Speaker 5: and now they got videos they can show you, but
Speaker 5: it was like, look at the pictures and this is
Speaker 5: what they how they lined up, and this is what
Speaker 5: they ended up. Man. And after that you're like, okay,
Speaker 5: do whatever you want to do until we go back
Speaker 5: on the field. And I wouldn't get up necessarily until
Speaker 5: it was like third, third down or whatever. And I
Speaker 5: was like, okay, if we got to if they stop
Speaker 5: and we're getting ready to go, but I would be
Speaker 5: on the bench and and and got criticized for not
Speaker 5: watching the game and for for individuals. Everybody's different, everybody's
Speaker 5: processing different, everybody's doing their thing different. As long as
Speaker 5: he is locked in when he's playing on the field,
Speaker 5: who cares what he does in between when he when
Speaker 5: they all fence is not on the field. You could
Speaker 5: read a book, Like I said, guys, guys have got
Speaker 5: headphones and they look listen to music and in between
Speaker 5: and guys are doing whatever in between, and everybody, every
Speaker 5: individual is different in that in that realm does not
Speaker 5: mean that he's not into the game.
Speaker 2: No, I get that. But you but but you know,
Speaker 2: and it's funny, Rodney, you said, people said, whyren't you
Speaker 2: watching the game? Well, what are you doing over there?
Speaker 2: You're not into the game. So it's not surprising that
Speaker 2: people saw this and reacted the way they did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean people like it's like people have no
Speaker 4: idea what's going through NFL players, man, because they've never
Speaker 4: done it before. You know, a lot of these guys,
Speaker 4: you know, you have to say, oh, man, I could
Speaker 4: have played pro.
Speaker 3: I hurt, my knew. I'm like, man, you could have
Speaker 3: played No damn pro shit the hell up?
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: I mean, look, I mean they have no clue. Man,
Speaker 4: I'm serious. I mean when you're out there, you are
Speaker 4: locked in. When when you're playing, I mean, look, every
Speaker 4: every player, like I was never a raw rod guy.
Speaker 4: You never catch me giving one of them them some speeches.
Speaker 4: You know, let's do this, let's go. That was not me,
Speaker 4: That's just I was the guy I was sitting there.
Speaker 4: You know, the guy gave that kind of speet, that
Speaker 4: Rod Rock speech.
Speaker 3: Cool.
Speaker 4: But if he didn't cool, it didn't make no difference
Speaker 4: to me because I knew what I had to do.
Speaker 4: I mean, like I say, every player processes things way different.
Speaker 4: I didn't like watching the defense play sometimes sometimes I
Speaker 4: did most of them. I would just sit on the bench.
Speaker 4: I couldn't even see, all right, And some players they
Speaker 4: stood and watched every every player.
Speaker 3: I wasn't that kind of player.
Speaker 1: No, No, I get it.
Speaker 5: Remember, And they made a big deal out of out
Speaker 5: of uh, Marshawn Lynch when he was eating skittles on
Speaker 5: the on the sideline. They made a big deal him
Speaker 5: having the skittles and on on the sideline, like, oh,
Speaker 5: what is he doing eating skittles? And that became a
Speaker 5: big thing until until he turned it around and made it,
Speaker 5: you know, made it funny and comical, and then you know,
Speaker 5: had got to deal with skittles.
Speaker 1: I mean, he gotta a pr deal.
Speaker 5: So, I mean it is different, Fred, it is different
Speaker 5: how people get ready for a game and during during downtime,
Speaker 5: in the middle of a game.
Speaker 1: It's all different for each individual.
Speaker 5: And if it is something I need to do this
Speaker 5: to calm my brain, or I need to do this
Speaker 5: to kind of get me back focused, or I need
Speaker 5: to do this so I can get ready for the
Speaker 5: next series. You don't care. As a teammate, You don't
Speaker 5: care whatever you got to do. Man, As long as
Speaker 5: I know and on third and eight you're gonna be open,
Speaker 5: that's all I care about. That's all I care about.
Speaker 5: I don't care if you reading that a stickers bar
Speaker 5: or a hot dog. I don't care, as long as
Speaker 5: you're gonna do your job when I need you to
Speaker 5: do your job.
