Speaker 1 (01:42):
So you wouldn't do just anything. The money's really got
to be right.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Well, I mean, and another thing is I mean I
don't want to sit up there and lie and say
I got E d's and I don't have it. I mean,
I mean, I could talk about it, but you know,
I ain't gonna sit up there and tell a lie,
say I got something I don't have. Even for the money,
I would do that either, you know, to be honest,
I mean I mean for me to no, I still
could even put a lot of money, I couldn't do it.
I just I can't lie like that. I'm that not me.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
How many spots would you say, I mean, because obviously
you're a guy that's in demand. How many opportunities or
commercials have you been offered that you turned down?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Not gonna say a lot, but a few, quite a few,
I mean, and some of my did I wouldn't. I
didn't do it because I didn't believe in it. You know,
I'm I'm a personality to believe in something. I mean,
you know, like I always say, you know anything, but
with anything, if you ask me a question, if you
don't want the truth, don't ask me. If you want
to lie, you know, maybe you bet ask somebody else.
Don't ask me that question. But you know, if I
(02:36):
if I believe in something, I would like let's just
say I don't know. Let's use let's use let's use
something less, use diabetes. Let's use that for instance of diabetes.
Have I have friends that have diabetes and they came
to me and asked me to do something for diabetes?
To say I have diabetes and I don't, I say,
I can't. I can't tell that lie I mean, I
(02:56):
can talk about other my friends and family members who
have diabetes, but I can't say that I'm a diabetic.
It just wouldn't be right to get on television or
radio and say that I'm a diabetic and I'm really not.
But now if they told me to say, you know,
you know that you should watch out, you know, you know,
make sure you know what it's a one C three
whatever it is is up, and then blah blah blah blah.
But yeah, but I can't lie and say I'm a diabetic.
(03:17):
I just I wouldn't do that. That's just not me.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
No, I get that.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
And I'm not saying I'm not saying i'm and I'm
not saying I'm perfect. Don't get me wrong, But I
just can't get on I wouldn't. I couldn't get on
a TV or radio and tell a live something I
don't believe in. That's just how I am. And I
damn sure I don't have no ED. So so let's go
back to that.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
But here's the thing, and I can respect what you said.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
I mean, there was a period of time where somebody
offered me a spot for metopause treatment.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
No lord, now, I considered it quite frankly, but I
bet you did.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah, but if the money was right when you did it, Yes,

money I can have that. Huh.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Listen, are you of the opinion? And be honest about this,
both of you. If somebody's giving away free medicine, do
you just take it because you feel like, even if
you don't have what they're giving the medicine away for,
it'll help you in case you got it.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
No, no, no, why don't we even ask a question?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Of course, Fred takes stuff free. Stop. That's why he'll take.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
If somebody would take it. He said, there's one thing
to say.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
You know, hey, somebody's giving out free free gatorade because
they're doing a campaign on fitness and their health and
they want to make sure all you guys have free
gatorade for a month. Okay, Gatorade it's a well established
brand out there. Whatever you're talking about free medicine, Fred,
But you don't even know the side effects. You don't
(05:14):
know what's going on with the medicine. You're just saying, oh, yeah, this,
this medicine will cure all your aches and pains. Just
we're giving it out free as a trial sample. We
don't even know what it is.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You take free medicine kind of question is that I
was trying to get just to gauge your Barama, it's
a person that's.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
If somebody gives you free Oh yeah, oh yeah, we'll
give you free medicine.
Speaker 2 (05:40):

Speaker 3 (06:16):
But I mean, Eric, given given where you grew up
in Texas and you've told stories about that, or and Rodney,
maybe you you know, because you didn't grow up in Texas.
When you guys were growing up where they're home remedies
your parents gave you if you were feeling a certain way,
you don't need to go to the doctor. I got
the home remedy.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Oh yeah, I can think of one of the ticket
that I didn't like. When I got the monks, I
got the months and they put she put a thing
like a sock around my head with sardine juice in it,
Like like, oh my god, stop, I remember that.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Yes, you had the moms and you're the months. Eric,
You've got the momps. I know how to fix up.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yep, yep, you know what that's you didn't sleep in it,
but during the day you home, you have to white
walk around that that rag around your your head, the
top of your head. Oh, yes, I remember that. That's
that's the one I really hated. That sounded like sardines. Yeah,
(07:18):
I remember that in particular. I got I got stung
by a scorpion, and she did some other stuff with
some dinner girl, some other stuff, and yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah, you know the whole thing with the urine with
the jellyfish bites, right, yes, because I got stung by
the jellyfish. Yeah, did somebody urinate on you? Did you
let them know? You know, I didn't. I thought that
was I paid the price for that, but yeah, I
(07:50):
didn't want them. But that's true right away, some of
the some of these home remedies are working now, Like
there's there's folks on Instagram right now that get you know,
making a whole lot of money on on these home remedies.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
You know, mix mix, yeah, mix mix this, uh.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Garlic with with these these celery sticks, and you put
beats in it, and you do this, and you do
that and olive oil and this will take away this
and this will take away that.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
No, there's what do you think people did back in
the day before there was medicine there there. They had
to do a lot of trial and error about what
different things combinations worked. You know, when you had a toothache,
My grandmother but she used to pull out that Jack
Daniels put it on a toothbrush and just a we're

he said you could die from me. You could have

and they took her. You know, if you took a hammer,
didn't it wasn't a hammer took it like if you

pop something, Yeah, I won't get it. Stuck it in
my nose. It took a little a little sledge, little
hand whatever, a little small ham and whatever device and
popped up, opened my nasl cabinet and all this stuff.
(12:33):
And I want the nurse said, oh, it smelled like
the dead rat. I'm like, exactly, That's what I've been
telling that damn man. And then doctor Smiler he comes
to the hospital to see me, talking about I'm really sorry.
I mean, you know, I don't like seeing I didn't sue.
I could have sued that man, but I mean, because
that was it was danger. I kept telling him it's
not right, something's not right. It was.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
The ham.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah, they put they put it right. They put like,
it's just say I'm using examp. Let's say, put a
nail in your notes with a hammer and knocked a
hole in your in your nasal cavity so it could
run out. And it just started all of it just
ran out.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
But they but they numbered first.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
They numb Yeah, they numbed first, the numbed first. I'm
gonnall you after that. Man, he gave me some medication. Man,
I'm telling him, like, who that stuff makes you? I'm like,
that's a whatever that I said, that's some good stuff. Yeah,
but yeah, doctor Smiler, I think doctor Smiler retired that ahead,
(13:32):
no smiling ass.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
When you were hurt when you were playing, you ever
go to the doctor and when you get dinged up
or banged up, and they just try to rush you
back and maybe not do exactly what you needed.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Any experiences like that.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Oh, man, are you kidding me? Friend? Yeah, bunch of them.
I mean that that happens all the time. I mean
I won't forget one out. Just before I retired, you know,
they were trying to get me to keep playing, and
I went to my doctor. I went I went to
doctor over Curling Joe. Uh it was Dr Watkins. Went
(14:12):
to doctor Watkins because my you know, my I was
having numbness in my necks. My legs were kind of
wildly for some reason. I went to doctor Watkins and
he took it, took an m R Eye and he said, Eric,
he said, I don't know what they tell they're telling you,
he said, but let me tell you something. He said.
It's not a it's not a it's not a fact
that it might happen. It's when it's going to happen
(14:34):
if you keep playing football. He said, you're going to
down the field. That's it's going because your your neck
is going to sever your spinal card. But you're gonna
paralyze my neck down. He said, So I suggest that
you quit football. And that was it. I'm like, no problem, doctor,
and they yeah, it didn't tell you, man, a lot
of stuff. It's like Randie, you know as well as
I do. They want you to see their doctors. They
(14:56):
want you to get they're not told them you had. Yeah,
you got your own doctor. Want to go to that.
I don't want that.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Yeah, we got this guy. He's the greatest. We did
our research. We got the best doctor.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
But this doctor he did he operated on me before,
so I trust him the way he did me before,
So I'm gonna go to him. Oh but but yeah, Fred,
they would do whatever back then. They would do whatever
to get you back on the field. We said, I'm
not gonna mention his name. But he had a doctor
he you know, he was an older cat man and
had a you know, had one of the old doctor
doctor you know bags, breaking doctor black doctor bag, black
(15:33):
doctor bag, you know, and he had everything in that bag. Boy,
he had, he wanted, he was, he was, he was.
His nickname was doctor Shotty and he would giving you
a shot. You had a hangar. He had a shot
for us. He had a shot for everything. He was like, okay,
come on in, come on, let me give you a
(15:53):
shot for this. Let me give you a shot for
that man. He had so many different shots, and it was,
I hate to say a lot of times it worked.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
It's like okay, I feel nothing, and then you got
to go to sleep at night. You couldn't go to sleep. Yeah,
well that's the thing, right, How long would it laps,
the shot? Well, you know, it depends.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Sometimes it lasts, you know, it lasts through the game
to get you through the game. But sometimes it's a
lingering fact where you're so up and you're drimming so
high that you you can't fall asleep. And that's where
a lot of you know, a lot of folks obviously
get into trouble. Is that I can't fall asleep, so
I need to take something to get me to sleep,
then take something to wake me up, and then you know,
(16:34):
and this becomes a vicious cycle.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
And so it was very dangerous. Did you you saw
you saw Kenny easily passed away? Yes, I saw what
they said about you know, the team, the team, the
team having him take I think it was an advil
or he was taking like six adveal a day, you know,
for an ankle injury. But then that's that's the stuff
they do. That's the stuff they do for it.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I mean, that are not that are banned. That we and.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
That was that was was it? What was it was inflammatory, right,
and and.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
It was anything Anderson was that there was a number
one thing they gave everybody.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Get you back on the field, Get you back on
the field. I mean they would have beans of it.
You just go in and grab a bunch of it
and put in the packet to give you a packet.
And man, yeah, a lot of guys got stuck with
that and that indosen and it's a banned substance today,
like what's what's the what's my members of the guys
just take the steroids. The d MS. So the d
(17:35):
m S O, the MS, the horse medicines smell like
smell like garlic, smell like garlics.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Oh man, you just think you used to come out
of the oars and guys used to walk in the
locker room.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
You knew exactly who it was.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Yeah, man, we have a guy even when he wasn't hurt,
he had the d m S on all season long.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Wet the guys steroids, I mean they took him. They
had the shots and the locker you know, the the
what's it called injection for the needland stuff their lockers
and like and I'm afraid of needs lord him mery,
I'm afraid of a needle.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yeah, so it was it was whatever to get you
back on the field for like all this stuff, which
is you know, it's it's a shame now. And you
hear stories like Kenny easily hear other stories about guys
and we're looking up, you know, and Ed is very
vocal and been document about this, But we look up
and it's ridiculous that the NFL is the only league
(18:35):
that doesn't have lifetime healthcare.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
That is man, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
It's criminal.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
It's criminal that that we don't have it, you have
it five years after you retire, and then after that
you're on your own. You got to pay for it yourself.
But the fact that they were prescribing certain things to
all of us as a player to get you back
on the field, as you just started this conversation with that.
As a player, you just that's all you want to
do is get back on the field. You're not. They
(19:06):
vicced me. They vic the Brickney. But yeah, like maybe
that was the NFL that they did the cut right
for when we come back, the Rams are a big game
coming up this weekend. Yes, welcome back to the Ford
(19:34):
NFL Spotlight, Right, Rodney beat Fred Rogan in the Hall
of Famer Eric Dickerson coming at you on a hump
day Wednesday, Freddie, what do you think?
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Uh, listen, I think it's time to look forward time.
I think it's time to take a look at what
the Rams have coming up this Sunday night. They've got
Tampa Bay. Now, it doesn't matter what how you want
to look at what happened last week against Seattle. Either
the Rams for the better team or the Seahawks for
the worst team. It's one of the other. Seattle could
have won that game, but give the Rams credit. Now
(20:11):
you go forward, I think against a pretty good Tampa
Bay team. The Bucks are six and four and they
got a smidge of a lead over Carolina in the South.
Rams at eight and two are a game ahead of
the Seahawks. Now, so, guys, I think this is a
pretty important game on Sunday night for the Rams.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Yeah, I agree for it. And and what you said earlier,
the Seahawks could have won that game, but losers say
that all the time. You know, man, we should have
won that. We had it, we made we missed that
field goal we had them. Yeah, uh that's what That's
what losers say. But I feel like, let's go back
to that game. First, the Seattle game, they had four interceptions.
I think they didn't take advantage of those interceptions. I
(20:51):
feel like that, you know, the one turnover that we
got and they we turned it right back over to
them I think two plays later. But I think we
got conservative. I think the Rams really conservative at times,
trying to you know, hang on to that league that
they had, not really pushing the ball up field. But
that's football. But the big thing is we won the game,
So that's all. It counts this week here against Tampa.
Tampa's a good football team. Was this Tampa lost for
(21:13):
two or three games in a row, the other station four.
But I think they losses are some some pretty good
time good teams. Right.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
The Buffalo played them tough. I mean that score didn't
really indicate how close KNW was.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yeah, that game, that game was a lot closer than
what it was. I mean, but Tampa's a good football team.
I mean they are. I mean, they got a good defense,
they got a good offense. Baker Mayfield has done a
good job with the would run that offense. And I
looked at this and I'm looking at I looked at
we play and I played San Francisco. We've got Seattle,
(21:47):
and we got Tampa, I think, then Carolina and then
Seattle again. I mean, if we could win these next
we won too already we beat San Francisco and we
beat Seattle. If we could win this game and when
and when beat Carolina, I mean, I think that's a
pretty good run. I mean, and the Rams have a
(22:08):
very good football team. Sometimes they make mistakes, and all
of us make mistakes, like people say, you know, they
turn the ball over Millok, Mandy No one's out there
trying to trying to turn the ball over. They're not
out there saying, man, you know what, I'm throwing interceptions
on this I'm throwing an exception right now. I'm gonna
fumble this ball. I'm gonna miss this tackle. It doesn't
work like that. You know, as much as as frustrated
as we are as fans and ex players, they're frustrated too.
(22:31):
So fans don't don't forget that part. They're not trying
to turn the ball. They're trying to make those mistakes.
But it happens, and and and it's pro football. You know,
people say, why why come they can't run the ball?
You know they're doing this a man. Remember one thing.
Those are pros on the other side of that line.
Their job is to stop you. That is their job. So,
like I said, if we can win this game, and
(22:52):
it's a Sundaset Sunday night game, Monday night game, Sunday
Sunday night game, I'm going I'm going to watch my
SMU play on sat on Thursday, and I'll be that
to a Saturday. I'll come back Saturday night for the
game on Sunday. But I'm looking forward to this guy.
This is one game I was looking forward to to watching,
really even more than the Seattle game. And I stayed
a little bit longer than I normally stay in a
(23:13):
football game. I stayed to the third quarter. And no,
I'm not leave it half. I mean, I'm out of that.
Sometimes I left one time after the first play. Man,
let's let's quick getch it. I'm out of that. But
this game, I'm looking forward to it. So I think
it'll be a real, very good football game. I hope
we can win it. I hope they can win it.
I don't say we hope they can win it. And
if they don't make mistakes, because that's the problem riding now.
You know this, When you turn the ball them, you
(23:34):
make mistakes. And sometimes it's a little mistakes. Sometimes it's
a bad So it's a receiver running the wrong route,
the quarterback of the receivers not on the same page.
You know, it's it's a it's a defense in the
wrong position. So it's an oppositive guard at tackle missing
a missing a block going the wrong way. It's little
stuff that the fans might not see what you but
you see it. Uh So let's just hope that you
(23:54):
know that they can play a good, solid football game
no matter what.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah, I think that the thing.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Look, Matthew Stafford gets a lot of credit and he
has played at a high level this season and has
warranted all of the accolades that he's getting.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
But that defense, that defense for the Rams is and
they're young, and they're young. They got some.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Hungry cats on that defense that is really good. And
you know, I just I don't know right now. Another
team and that's you know, during the season, Fred the
game against Seattle, those are the games that good teams win.
They figure out a way to win them. When you
don't play your best and your backs up against the wall,
(24:42):
you find a way to come out on top. And
the Rams have been doing that all season long. Now
they've got a stretch where, you know, they've got a
couple of tough ones in there after this Tampa game,
but they've got a lot of winnable games down the stretch.
They play Seattle again up there, that's going to be
a big time test. But when you think of their
road ahead, and I think they got the Lions as
(25:04):
the other they got, but it's at home, right and
if they can get away with this win against Tampa,
it's going to go a long way, especially in the
NFC of them maintaining and getting you know, some home
playoff games, which is gonna be big as we go
down the stretch.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
You think the Bears are for real? I mean, the
Bears are seven and three. You think the Bears are
for real? I don't want to seven Bears. They're seven
and three. They're a good team.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Caleb Williams is with all the pressure on him coming
into this year, having Ben Johnson together, all the talk
before the season and early part of the season, or
he's not, you know, he and Ben Johnson are you know,
having conflicts and they're not on the same page. They
are on the same page. He has played extremely well
and deserves the credit that he's getting right now. But
(25:53):
they the Bears are a good young football team and
they're they're a team right now. They're just every close
game they're winning. Every close game they're winning, and you
got to give them credit to the head coach, to
the quarterback to making plays. That defense that they have
is very good. But they are playing. They're playing extremely
(26:16):
well at seven and three right now, actually leading that
division with Green Bay and Detroit in that division, they're
on top of it. Will at last, we'll see because
they still got some games to play. But yeah, I'm
very impressed the bounce back season that Caleb Williams is having.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Yeah, I mean I think I heard the announcers say
that the night when they were playing by Caleb, and
I saw it. You know, when you watched him last year,
he almost seemed like he was forcing stuff, a little rattled.
The offensive line was not protecting him. Well, they're doing
a lot better job now. But you know, Rodney, sometimes
(26:54):
for a quarterback and even the running back, any kid
that comes out of college look like the game is
the slowed down to him, like I get it now,
you know how I get it? And it takes it
takes that, It takes it. You know, my first year
I won't forget man, I'm like, hey, this guy, and
I'm an running back. I'm not a quarterback. And a
quarterback has to know everyone's position. If I step to
the quarterback and say who do I have on this?
(27:15):
Who am I blocking? He's got to know if the
receiver is not sure, if his who he's got, what
route is he running? He's got to know that and
he's got to read the defenses. So I think when
you look at Caleb now, he looks more relaxed in
the pocket, he looks more comfortable and confident. And that's
what That's what it takes. You know, playing especially the
quarterback position, you have to be confident and you have
(27:37):
to know what you're doing. You have to know you're
a signed, but you have to know where you received.
You have to know where the hots are coming from,
where you're where is the blitz coming from. I see this,
I see this defense. I know I already know what
they're going to do. And I think I think that
is that is starting to come to him, you know,
pretty quick. As for a young quarterback.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
When you look at the AFC, after beating Casey the Broncos,
in the team to beat the best team in the AFC,
are you surprised by that?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
I think the best team in the FC is in
the Indianapolis coach and I'm and I hate to say
that to be honest, but I think they are the
best team. I mean, you know what, you know what
Denver has. Denver has that defense. You know that the offense,
you never know what you're gonna get with them. You know,
they've been playing pretty good, but you're just not You're
not sure with them with both knicks, but that defense,
(28:26):
you're sure with that defense. Indianapolis has a really good defense,
a good good offensive line. Uh it is it Matt
Jones and Mac one of was it Matt Jones? Is
that the one that is? I forget, I forget which Ones?
I get him confused. Matt Jones. That's the one Indianapolis quarterback?
Is it Matt Jones and the Indianapolis you know it's
it's a it's a quarterback.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Daniel Jones.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Jones, Yeah, I always get him confused, Yeah, Daniel, because
I get Matt Jones and Dan Jones case he's in
San Francisco, Daniel Jones. He's done a really good job
with that offense. The offensive line is as a solid
offensive line, they're a hard team to beat. And I
go back to a couple of games, just like the Rams.
You know, honest, in all honesty, they should have beat
(29:10):
the Rams. But you know that's what losers say, you know,
but they had they should have beat the Rams. They didn't,
but they should have beat the Rams. That the game
they lost. I think Dan Jones he had I think
he had three or four turnovers in that game. You
know that that, you know, right, And I think they
still lost by They lost by seven. They lost by seven.
But I think in the AFC, I think the best
(29:31):
team is Indianapolis Coast. I think the second best team
is the Denver Broncos. And finally, I think the Kansas
City Chiefs. I might think they might be packing their
stuff getting ready to head home for his off season.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
You know, it had to catch up with them eventually, right,
It always does.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
That was all of them, That was every team.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah, it does, it does.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
But you know, they're a team what are they what
now five y five or something like that, that if they
make the playoffs, they are a team that you don't
want to play because they they have been they've been.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
There before, they've been.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
There before, they're there their policy, they know what the
playoffs are like. And and I'm sure once they get
in it's a different mindset because it's you know, it's
always been a tale of two seasons.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
But they get in, you know, they're a team that
you don't want to play.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
I don't know if they get in though, here's the thing,
they they still got to get in and with the
Patriots playing the way they're playing, there's some other teams
in the a f C playing well, you know you
mentioned the Colts and you know, uh, we'll talk about that,
that nice little team who I don't know how they
lay that egg that they did, but but yeah, it's
(30:45):
it's going to be interesting on the on the AFC side,
who gets in.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I don't think it compares.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
To the NFC teams that are that are in the
playoffs because the NFC is so much better right now?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Can you can you? I couldn't even imagine right now
if somebody told you when the season starts that the
Patriots would be nine and two, would.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
You believe nobody would buy that? I would have never
bought that. Nobody would buy that.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
They're nine into the Patriots and nine and two. I mean,
that's a surprise for NFL.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Spotlight, for the NFL Spotlight Men presented by Ford. We're
going to continue and if you have a problem hearing,
we may have a solution. And a lot of people
suffer from that, so we may have a solution.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Next that's right, we're back on the Ford NFL Spotlight.
Rodney Pete, Fred Rgan Hall, of Fame up, Eric Dickerson,
come on, all right.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
So you know, first of all, if you have trouble
hearing it, it's bad and it's there's no lie I do.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I have for years.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
I blew my hearing out when I was much younger,
when I started in radio, got those headphones blurring at
me music, and it got to me, it really did.
And if you know me, really know me, and you
guys know me, I can't hear. So I'm always looking
for ways to family care better.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
What better?
Speaker 2 (32:09):
When it comes to money, you can't exactly.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
I can't hear. I'm sorry what you're saying. I don't hear.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
What was money?
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (32:17):
And I got ten? You know one? I bet you
heard that.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
So anyway, we're coming across the stuff we want to
talk about today, and it's interesting. We didn't know what happened,
but it'll tie in to what we talked about at
the top of this hour.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
You know, if you take something for one issue, now
it can cure another.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Right.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
Ozembic for example, no one thought that was a weight
loss drug, right, right, but now people use it and
it works as a weight loss drug. So some things
serve two purposes, but you don't know it when it
when it's initially produced. So how about this, if you
(33:01):
truly have trouble hearing, and this is this is confirmed?
If you have trouble, well, I mean it's confirmed they
tried it and flies.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
But that doesn't matter. Yeah, when you say confirmed, confirm
with who I want to know? I want to hear
those folks. Well, First, you got to be able to hear,
because that's the key. If you can't hear.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
But if you are hard of hearing or suffering from
partial deafness, if there is such a thing, if you
take viagra, it could improve your hearing.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
That's true, to hear. What what's doing the hearing?
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Well, it will it will improve your ability to hear
for whatever reason.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
It can help with deafness. I mean it serves a function.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
I doubt it. Which head can you hear out of this?
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Thank God, I can't hear, or I would have heard
that and that would kind have been good.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Oh my gosh, Then my stomach is hurting.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
I'm lad, seriously, Yeah, honestly one common supplement. The other
is the popular or rectile dysfunction drug. It works from both.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Science.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
You're in the University of Chicago, University of Miami, and
several institutions in Turkey uncovered that the condition could be
targeted by two treatments.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
So there you go.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
If you're having heart, if you can't hear, or you're
a bit hard of hearing, then there are ways to
correct that, apparently.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
So so you're gonna start taking some big you won
what you heard me? You heard me. You're gonna start
taking some biagra now that guy behind yeah, yes, yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
You well again, I'll take anything we know that.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
Oh my god, yes, even medicine. You don't even know
what the medicine is. You'll take free medicine. We know
that found that out for that. I mean, I don't know.
I don't know about that. I just gonna buy their Sorry,
do you believe that?
Speaker 1 (35:23):
I don't know. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
I you know, certain things that come out like for instance,
like Fred mentioned, ozebic was really you know, set up
for diabetes, and and there's a diabetic drug and it
turned out that it helped you lose weight, and then
people just started using it solely to lose weight.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Same thing. I think when viagra came out, it was
for something else.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
And then they found out that when they tested it
on on men, men would get erections, and so it
became biagra.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Right, it wasn't a.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Toilet for what what was it vibra for?
Speaker 3 (36:01):
I forget what it was for, but it wasn't for uh,
erect dysfunction. It was for something else. And then they
they were finding out in the studies that men were
getting directions. And then that's how it kind of really evolved.
So I don't know, this biagra might have you know,
a million and one usage.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
It's like duct tape.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
Viagra was originally, uh constructed to treat hypertension, high blood pressure,
high blood.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
That's right, yeah, and what blood pressure? And then then
uh folks started getting directions. They wait a minute, this
is the hell with the high blood pressure. Let's get
let's get this.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Going, and uh what got your blood pressure up?
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Absolutely, But if it's like.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
If if it's something that's going to improve like someone's
he said, someone's hearing, right, Like you suffered from that,
Like I got bad eyes, right, I got bad eyes,
got stigmatism that had contact for since I was in
college and then just you know, still wear him to
this day and still have to wear glasses. But if
there was something that would say correct your vision to
(37:13):
get to the point where it's back to twenty twenty
with your natural eyes, and it happened to be like
a biagara or something like that, I might.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Be willing to look into that a little bit more. Freddie, Well, how.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Many times you have to take Let met me. Let
me ask you this question. I ask both of you
this question. Have you ever tried biag creckets, crickets, creackets? Creackets?
Speaker 1 (37:38):
You ask must have tried.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
I just asked. I asked the question I tried with
the first I tried for the first game.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Absolutely too.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
I tried the first game, Sure did. Yeah, it was funny.
I mean I got. I got. I had a guy
that he worked for some form, so he gave me
a bunch of it. And I had so much of
that stuff. Man, guys are calling me for it, like
I'm like, I'm the doctor some of them pills. Man,
I'm in them pills. You know, they come give me
a bottle up? Man I had, Like, seriously, fred I
(38:08):
better you had like twenty bars of those pills. Seriously
he gave.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Me up like looking for it.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Yeah, like seriously, seriously, you got a'ven left over anymore.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
I was, I was passing those pills out. I can't
the name I have to come here. I can't say
the name to come to the d doctor. I'm like, look, man,
that's not my name.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Man, come give me some of the pills.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Man, you got. I saw all them pills you got.
I just got. I don't want nobody to die. And
all of a sudden, Eric biagra pills. You know it changed?
You know, things changes.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
Look, we all get old, we all get older, and
things as you get older, things don't function like they
did when you were twenty five.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
I don't care what it is.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
And if you can find some some help, and it's
not gonna hurt you, you know, physically, technology continues to move, man,
there's advances in all kinds of different studies. So yeah, absolutely,
you get a certain old friend. You need a little help. Yeah,
but you got Fred. Okay, afraid, but okay, Fred, for
this is for you. Then, So since you can't hear, well,
(39:17):
you can't hear, So are you going to take biagra?
Speaker 2 (39:20):
That's my question. It's gonna help your hearing. Are you
gonna start taking biagra?
Speaker 1 (39:23):
I'll just say this. Uh, yeah, I've tried by ad
rein it didn't help my hearing.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Well, you took probably take it one time. I mean
you got probably just can't take it one time and
think it's gonna help you. That's like it's like taking
one pill, like one when one blood fresh of you.
I'm just gonna take one. Ain't gonna take no more
of them. It's gonna take.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
One taken a time, Eric.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
I would you know? I would, yeah, take him like
like like one once a day, you know, a half
of one a day or something like that, just see
if it works, to see if it worked for your
hear I would. I mean, that would give you an idea.
I mean, who knows. You might you might even have
another baby you.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Can't take that's not happening.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Another situation, Fred and you go, oh, I took it
for something else, but it didn't help my hearing. So
I'm never gonna take it again. But now that the
studies out and they tell you, hey, if you take
one biagra pill a day and it's going to help
your hearing, would you do it for like two weeks?
Speaker 2 (40:13):
I might.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
I might try to action, which you mean I would?
Speaker 3 (40:19):
I mean yeah, like I said, if you switch it
around to it's for your sight.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
They told me to take to take me to take
a bag appeal uh for for six months and then
bring that and I'll have my hair back. I'd be
all over. I'd be popping the bag repeals like crazy. Yeah,
I mean, i might have a buzz in my pants,
but I'm still have my If I had the hair bag, i'd.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
NFL Spotlight is presented by Ford. So you've suffered its
season ending injury, then what are you doing that's next
