Speaker 2: eighteen forty seven. You listen to as Grant stayed here

Speaker 3: But then when I said it's a big I mean
Speaker 3: I got an elevator, I'm like, why is this elevator
Speaker 3: so damn big? Like a freight elevator exactly. It's why
Speaker 3: it's wider and taller horse teams out there. But you're
Speaker 3: right about the you know the South. Don't spend a
Speaker 3: whole lot of time in the South, But I spent
Speaker 3: a lot of time in Georgia lately, and and you

Speaker 2: Now, there's some there. There's some bad apples out.
Speaker 3: There that don't want everyone. Don't make that wrong turn,
Speaker 3: go out there in.

Speaker 1: The only experience I've ever had with the possum, and
Speaker 1: I've told the story, is when the possum chased my card.
Speaker 1: I tried to bite my tire.
Speaker 2: Save theos you should. It's a possum free, I mean
Speaker 2: a possum try to bite your car.
Speaker 1: Right, possum. Possums are not nice. Possums are mean, right, yes, okay,
Speaker 1: And they've got like teeth like they can snarl. Right,

Speaker 1: used to chase me home from NBC. It would wait
Speaker 1: for me on the corner of More Park from to window.
Speaker 2: There positive here come free it. I gotta I gotta go, man,
Speaker 2: I gotta run. I gotta get out of here. Man
Speaker 2: I gotta go chase Frae possum. So I pulled. This
Speaker 2: is no Eric.
Speaker 1: This happened so years ago. I'm going and I go
Speaker 1: up to this light and I look and I look
Speaker 1: behind me out the wind, and there looks like something
Speaker 1: that's an enormous rat. And the rat is just staring
Speaker 1: at my car. It's staring at me. I mean it's
Speaker 1: looking into my soul. So the light changes and I
Speaker 1: drive away. I come back the next night at the
Speaker 1: same time, and it's there again. It's like this enormous
Speaker 1: rat and it's staring at me, and it looks like
Speaker 1: it's mad at me. And I don't know why I'm
Speaker 1: in the car and I just happen to be driving there.
Speaker 1: So the next thing I know, it chases me and
Speaker 1: tries to bite my tire as I drive away. The
Speaker 1: third night, I go back to the light. It's about
Speaker 1: eleven forty at night, and I'm a little concerned now
Speaker 1: because I've seen this giant rat, which I later learn
Speaker 1: as a possum. So I go to the light and
Speaker 1: it's not there, and I thought, okay, I've dodged the possum,
Speaker 1: the rat.
Speaker 2: I'm good.
Speaker 1: I go up because that's when I lived in the
Speaker 1: hills and Studio City. I go up to the house,
Speaker 1: I pull up, and I will be damned. And if
Speaker 1: you tell me it's not the same one, then okay,
Speaker 1: that possum is sitting on my front steps waiting for me.
Speaker 2: Wait stop, let me ask you one question. So how
Speaker 2: far are you from the stud from the studio.
Speaker 1: You left, Yeah, like three four miles.
Speaker 2: So still, so you're telling me that possibly three or
Speaker 2: four miles to your house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm saying it probably didn't come down three
Speaker 1: or four miles the nights it was waiting for me
Speaker 1: at the light. It did the night it was waiting
Speaker 1: for me at the light, but obviously it knew where
Speaker 1: I was going. And then you ended up in front
Speaker 1: of my house a different night, and it was I
Speaker 1: swear to god, it was sitting right on the steps
Speaker 1: and I looked at it and I was like, what
Speaker 1: the hell this thing looks like it's going to attack me.
Speaker 1: So I threw a brick at it and ran in
Speaker 1: the house.
Speaker 2: You sound ridiculous, I mean see you said that's true.
Speaker 2: I don't believe that. Fred, I'm sorry. So the possum
Speaker 2: left the corner. They say, ye're gonna to Free's house.
Speaker 2: So it followed you to your house, tracked you to
Speaker 2: your house. Oh come on, Fred, come on. After people
Speaker 2: in the audience post then come on that Fred sound
Speaker 2: And did you say the possum came back the next day?
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Did the
Speaker 2: possum have a tattoo that you could recognize? No? I
Speaker 2: didn't know. Right, you know it? You had the possum
Speaker 2: head on.
Speaker 1: So you're you're telling me, uh, just by coincidence, there
Speaker 1: was another possum waiting for me. It couldn't have been
Speaker 1: the same one. Well you think they have a meeting,
Speaker 1: a possum meeting, and they this guy was a scout
Speaker 1: and told the other one to go get me.
Speaker 3: Well you think it's the only possum. It's the only
Speaker 3: postum in l A. I mean the one that that.
Speaker 1: Was Why would the why Eric, why would a possum
Speaker 1: wait for me at the light two nights in a row,
Speaker 1: and to try to attack my car, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, a different possum knew exactly where I lived.
Speaker 2: Okay, So that possum follows you all the way to
Speaker 2: your house.
Speaker 1: Listen, I don't understand the mind of the thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think you.
Speaker 1: Maybe that possible? What maybe maybe the possum? No, I
Speaker 1: don't tell like you're talking about ghost at your house
Speaker 1: and guys with like stove pipe.
Speaker 2: But other people I've seen it. Other people have said,

Speaker 1: fifteen years old. He was actually Grandma's boyfriend. Wait wait
Speaker 1: wait he was your grandma's boyfriend. Yeah, uncle Louis right,
Speaker 1: well for year. Look, I never met my grandfather Frank,
Speaker 1: so he died before I was born. So anyway, as
Speaker 1: long as I can remember, there was Grandma Betty and
Speaker 1: Uncle Louie and Uncle Louis was always around. And Uncle
Speaker 1: Louis was great. He was fun, he was happy. I mean,
Speaker 1: he was there for as long as I can remember,
Speaker 1: and he was always hanging out with Grandma. But he
Speaker 1: was Uncle Louie. So one time, I'm like fifteen years old,
Speaker 1: I said, Uncle Louie, can I ask you something? Because sure,
Speaker 1: I've tried to figure this out. How are you my uncle?
Speaker 1: How are you my uncle? And he goes, well, I'm

Speaker 1: And that's why they were always together.
Speaker 2: That's what they told you. So you wouldn't ask too
Speaker 2: many questions, ask no questions. That's the let's see, that's
Speaker 2: see that that that's something that once again, no fence fast.
Speaker 2: That's who white people can do. You can ask them
Speaker 2: kind of black people like, hey, hey boy, you don't
Speaker 2: ask them kind of questions.

Speaker 3: the history of Uncle Louis, of you and Grandma Grandma
Speaker 3: for everybody else in the family, Fred, there was it
Speaker 3: was the family secret.

Speaker 1: Well, I just couldn't figure out where he came from.
Speaker 1: When it was all said and done, Who was Uncle
Speaker 1: Louis related to Grandma?
Speaker 2: Apparently he had asked that question. He had asked the question.
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh four an NFL spotlight wall A Football today

Speaker 1: gas hybrid or all electric. What you choose to do

Speaker 3: Come on, let's keep it moving on a beautiful Monday, Rodney, Pete,
Speaker 3: Fred Rugan and the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: Uh Eric tickets.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's get into the Rams game. Last
Speaker 1: night Rams Lions goes into overtime. I think the overtime
Speaker 1: rule for the regular season needs to be changed. First,
Speaker 1: I'll see in full disclosure, In full disclosure, I root
Speaker 1: for the Rams every week except last night. I'm rooting
Speaker 1: for the Lions. There I said it.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Even that being said, I think they need to change
Speaker 1: your overtime rule because that was really unfair last night.
Speaker 2: I've been saying that for years. Even they had to
Speaker 2: whoever scored first or three points, I didn't I didn't
Speaker 2: think that was right. I think that you you should
Speaker 2: have a chance to get the ball back. I mean,
Speaker 2: I mean, why is it It's almost like you get punished,
Speaker 2: you know, if you don't get the ball and you score.
Speaker 2: I mean when they got the ball, I said, this
Speaker 2: game probably gonna be over with. And they did exactly
Speaker 2: what people now say that the football the league is
Speaker 2: not doing. Run the football. They ran the football down
Speaker 2: the rams throat.
Speaker 3: I think they ran the ball with like six times
Speaker 3: in a row or something that five times in a row.
Speaker 2: And you know, I don't I don't like that rule either.
Speaker 2: I mean, why why shan't Why can't the other team
Speaker 2: get a shot to go for the touchdown?
Speaker 3: All?
Speaker 2: So, I just I just think that that's the dumbest
Speaker 2: rule it really is. I think it's really unfair. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they should, they should. I mean, and why do you
Speaker 2: have two different ones?
Speaker 3: I mean, right, you play all season long one way,
Speaker 3: and then you get to the playoffs and the rule changes.
Speaker 2: It should be one rule.
Speaker 3: You get playing a certain way and you get to
Speaker 3: the playoffs should be the same way. That's just it
Speaker 3: doesn't make sense that they would change it for and
Speaker 3: and do it the right way in the playoffs, right,
Speaker 3: you know where you know, in that situation, the Rams
Speaker 3: would have got the ball and had a chance to
Speaker 3: go down and score a touchdown.
Speaker 2: Let me ask the question, right, and you notice who
Speaker 2: makes up these rules? I mean who sits in the committee?
Speaker 2: Who is the who is the clowns to sit up
Speaker 2: and don't even know how to put a football uniform on? Well?
Speaker 3: The committee of is a committee actually of coaches and
Speaker 3: and some Yeah, there's coaches. I think there's some execs
Speaker 3: in there too, like gms and stuff like player I
Speaker 3: don't know if there's got former players in there or not,
Speaker 3: but there's definitely coaches on the committee.
Speaker 2: Then rules committee and all that's there. And some old
Speaker 2: officials too. Yeah, like I said, you know they they
Speaker 2: bad eyes. Okay, but you know I'm with you, Fred.
Speaker 2: I didn't like that. I mean I just felt like, man,
Speaker 2: the Rams had the opportunity to really win that football game.
Speaker 2: You know, when when Stafford threw that interception end zone,
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, that hurt that, that hurt bad. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then then then they then they scored a touchdown,
Speaker 2: they call it back for hold and I'm like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, the three points and I'm gonna tell you, boy,
Speaker 2: what's his name is it? Is it Hutchinson? A Hutchinson. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he was killing no nothing, no boom. I get it.
Speaker 2: I mean, I know it's a tough job, but I'm
Speaker 2: saying he was killing him the bad point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And then he went out of the game and
Speaker 3: it was like it was canceled Christmas after that, like
Speaker 3: three guys on them, man, and and it was it
Speaker 3: was the Davenport Davenport Marcus Davenport. It was like that
Speaker 3: that defense was was was But I tell you what,
Speaker 3: the uh, the Rams gonna be pretty good. Like we
Speaker 3: said before the season, I think the Rams is gonna
Speaker 3: be pretty good. And then listen, Detroit, that's a good
Speaker 3: football team.
Speaker 2: And you said it.
Speaker 3: They they are physical and on offense, I mean, I
Speaker 3: you know, Jared Golf has played well for them.
Speaker 2: But they run the football. And they got two legitimate backs.
Speaker 3: They got two guys and and the Gibbs and and Montgomery.
Speaker 3: They got too legitimate guts that can roll and run
Speaker 3: the football. And they feed them both too. That's a
Speaker 3: good football team, Detroit, especially when they're playing at home.
Speaker 2: U when they're playing at home, they.
Speaker 3: Get they get home field, or they get them playoff
Speaker 3: games at home, and I did. I went to them
Speaker 3: one last year in Tampa when Tampa came up there
Speaker 3: and that place was as loud as I've heard any stadium.
Speaker 3: And if they do get it at home this year, boy,
Speaker 3: it's gonna be tough to beat them. And uh and
Speaker 3: in Detroit, but I think both those fifth, both the teams,
Speaker 3: and I guess it's gonna it's really gonna come down
Speaker 3: to see how pooking the cold. Do we know any
Speaker 3: update on him? And now what's doing anything? What was
Speaker 3: it a knee or ankle?
Speaker 2: It was a knee. It was a knee.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, But losing him hurt they definitely hurt them
Speaker 3: because he is UH. With him and Cooper Cup, they
Speaker 3: are a hard team to stop. But let's just hope
Speaker 3: he's not He's not, you know, hurt for a period
Speaker 3: of time because they both of them are good football teams.
Speaker 1: You know, Eric I said, last hour, we were kicking
Speaker 1: around the Chargers and uh, the Raiders don't do that
Speaker 1: coming up in a bet. But I said, you know,
Speaker 1: it's one game. You know it's one game. I don't
Speaker 1: think you can base your feeling on the rest of
Speaker 1: the season on one game.
Speaker 2: No, you can't for it. I mean, and I agree
Speaker 2: with you with that, because you know it's seventeen games
Speaker 2: and that's one game. I mean, look, you can start
Speaker 2: off five and oh and a lot of teams that
Speaker 2: have and end up you know back when we played
Speaker 2: you know, five and in ten or five eleven. I
Speaker 2: mean I left him. I mean, it's great to get
Speaker 2: that first victory. Don't get me wrong. It's always good
Speaker 2: to start off with with a win. And it's just
Speaker 2: you know, you have a good attitude going over to
Speaker 2: the next day, you know, for for workout and watching film.
Speaker 2: Losing of course, you know, you can't wait for the
Speaker 2: next week to come around. But it's only one game.
Speaker 2: And I said that, and and like you said, the
Speaker 2: Rams to me, they made a lot of mistakes. They
Speaker 2: made some mistakes and mistakes hurt, like you know, the
Speaker 2: the defensive backs, they got them got burned. They got burned.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if it's coverages, but I
Speaker 2: think the one dB he just got beat. I mean,
Speaker 2: he got he got beat. You know, yeah, that put
Speaker 2: he put that double move on him. What's his name, Williams.
Speaker 2: I mean I mean he put that move like, yeah,
Speaker 2: they tried to grab him, yeah, but he missed. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, But like you said, it's one game,
Speaker 2: and you know we got who played. We got the Cardinals,
Speaker 2: They got the Cardinals net next week. I mean, hopefully
Speaker 2: we can win that football game you know we got.
Speaker 3: When the Rams have a tough schedule, they know they
Speaker 3: don't have a easy Scheduley gott.
Speaker 2: Want to league. Yeah, we got to have They got
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers, so it's not gonna it's not
Speaker 2: gonna be easy.
Speaker 1: And well that's the penalty you suffer from winning, right,
Speaker 1: The better you are, the tough of your schedule.
Speaker 2: Ain't that funny? How how you get punished for doing good?
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I hate to say it. When
Speaker 2: you get played good, you gotta get like a little
Speaker 2: weak of skin, like a look like a lighter schedule.
Speaker 2: Break break, Give me a goose, give us a break.
Speaker 1: I mean, but I look at it like this, Eric,
Speaker 1: I I agree with you, and you know everybody thinks
Speaker 1: I'm nuts. I think the best teams you should get
Speaker 1: the highest picks in the draft. I think you should
Speaker 1: be pedalized for losing, not the worst team gets the
Speaker 1: top pick and well, we'll try to figure it out.
Speaker 1: We'll bring it now. I think the best team should
Speaker 1: get the top picks.
Speaker 2: I agree with that too. I mean I kind of
Speaker 2: like that idea. I mean really in a sense, why
Speaker 2: do you get penalized of being good? Right? That's what
Speaker 2: they do. That's that's they do. You You you're a
Speaker 2: good team.
Speaker 3: We're gonna stick it to you, and we're gonna make
Speaker 3: you play a tough schedule.
Speaker 2: You good. I mean, think about when the Patriots were
Speaker 2: really good, but the Patriot to win in a really
Speaker 2: weak division, I mean really weak division.
Speaker 3: You know that the Bills were no good? Yeah, no good.
Speaker 3: Miami at that Miami was no good. I mean those
Speaker 3: games that was pretty much eight We think about it.
Speaker 3: You know that that that idea of the best team
Speaker 3: the teams, say, teams that make the playoffs? Right, if
Speaker 3: you make the playoffs, how many teams fourteen teams whatever
Speaker 3: make the playoffs, those fourteen they get the first fourteen
Speaker 3: picks of the draft. If you make the playoffs once,
Speaker 3: because then what happens. What happens is if you those
Speaker 3: teams and say it's.
Speaker 1: A quarterback like it was last year, quarterback every draft
Speaker 1: and you already got your quarterback. You're gonna trade that
Speaker 1: pick and give it to somebody who nobody else more
Speaker 1: picks for your team, So it still can work out.
Speaker 1: Like if you the Rams and you you know, you
Speaker 1: go win the Super Bowl. Yeah you got you got
Speaker 1: Stafford there. You're not picking a quarterback in the first round,
Speaker 1: you know, you're trading that and getting somebody else's two
Speaker 1: or three picks, or second and third round picks.
Speaker 2: That might be a good idea, Grid, I bet you.
Speaker 2: I think you've you stumble up on something left, Fred? Yeah,
Speaker 2: Fred like that.
