Speaker 1 (00:00):
And we continue on bred Rgan Rodney Pete on a
five seventy LA Sports two o'clock hour, one hour from now,
David Vasse live from San Diego. Maybe we'll take some
calls on the Dodgers during the two o'clock hour and
life later this hour. And we we kicked this around
this morning with Kevin trying to figure out if we

(00:20):
should do it or not. So we're gonna do it.
We'll do it near the end of the hour. Ozempic Okay,
now you've heard of ozempic. But in some regards it
might reduce something, but in other regards it might enable
something to grow. That's the best way to put it.

(00:42):
Ozembic may have other benefits if you choose to take it.
I don't, but you know, if you do, then you
may know this already. So we'll talk about that later
on in the hour. When you played in the NFL,
games mean more than others during the regular season. Yeah, yeah,

(01:07):
there were games that that uh, you know, the week
of that game, it was a little bit more intense
and and and you kind of made sure everybody was
ready a little bit more than than didn't say other games.
And I remember, no matter where I was, every time
you got ready to play the Cowboys, it was it's

(01:29):
Cowboy week. We got to get ready to go.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
And when I was playing, especially in the nineties and
playing in Philadelphia and played at Washington, that was that
was the biggest game during the regular season, was playing
the Cowboys because they were they were good, and they
had won Super Bowls and and so that's the team
you wanted to knock off. And so yeah, yeah, you
you would take that game, and and it would it

(01:52):
would get your juices flowing more so than saying playing
the Arizona Cardinals.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
If you're if you're the Philadelphia Eagles.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Or you're the Giants, and you've got your East Eastern
Conference matchups and you go out and play the Seattle Seahawks,
it's not as it's not as big a week as
playing the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Sure, so some games did mean more during the regular season,
and I would think throughout your years, even in the
games that meant more, some of them meant even more
for whatever reason, a showdown with a great team, first
place in the division on the line. So all games
are not created equal, although at the end they all
count equally. And that's why I think it was important

(02:36):
last night for the Dodgers to win the first one
in San Diego in that completely raucous and insane environment.
If you win the first mentally, mentally, and I think
even for the fan bases quite honestly, and you don't
know what will happen in the next two, that's fair,
but honestly that gives you a huge leg up. Tonight

(02:59):
may turn the thing around, but you can't leave. You
can't leave being swept. You can't. And I think at
this time, with these two teams as close as they are,
the Dodgers there despite the fact they have been savaged
by injuries. The Padres have had their share, but certainly

(03:21):
not like this. I think it was very important. I
do think this series means a little more Rodney, and
I think last night was very important. What does it
mean more for well, now the Dodgers. They won the
first game, now the Dodgers. Actually it means more for
the Padres. I think for the Padres overall, because you know,

(03:43):
they were the ones that came up short last year.
They were the ones that now have to get over
the hump. And let's be honest, if you think back
to last year and I knew there was a during
the regular season. It was I believe when the Dodgers
beat the Padres, I said, that's it. That's it, They've
done it. They will win the World Series. That was
during the regular season, and I thought they would be playoffs.

(04:05):
You mean the regular season at the end of the year.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
When they beat the Padres to win the division, basically
clinched the division.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
I thought that was it. Yeah, I knew that was it.
You thought that was it.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Even said the Dodgers went down to one, I said that.
I never thoucked off that when I thought you said it.
When they went down to one and came back and
won the series, then I never backed off that. That's
why I wasn't concerned when they went down to one.
I never backed off. Now, maybe I was wrong or crazy,
but I never did. I think I was drinking during
the show those days, though I think that's what happened.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
I don't know. So I believe that, and I think
for the Padres, that is a better pill to swallow.
They couldn't win the division, they had them in the
playoffs and couldn't close them. That's tough that that that
emotionally is a beat down.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, especially as you build up and they're building that
team to beat the Dodgers, and they have been doing
that for the last I don't know how many years
to compete with the Dodgers, and you get them on
and you have them on the ropes like they had
the Dodgers on the ropes, and you don't get it
done when you can close.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
It out at your place. That's a tough pill to swallow.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
For a fan base, just trying to get over the
hump and trying to beat the big bad dog on
the block and you don't do it, and then it
becomes a long, long offseason and then you look forward
to it next year. And these games, yes, mean more
because the Dodgers always and fans, Dodger fans too, believe

(05:40):
we're gonna be there in the end. We're gonna be
there in the end, and it's just a matter of
who we play and how hot we are and how
healthy we are, and if we're healthy, we're gonna beat anybody.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
For the Padres.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
You know, these series matter more because they want to
win the division, They want to be the top dog.
It means something to them during the regular season to
say they would have a better record, or they're leading
the National League West, whereas Dodgers have gotten to that
point where you know we'll be there in the end.
We're gonna be there in it. Like you mentioned all

(06:11):
the time, it doesn't matter. We don't need to win
one hundred and fifteen games, we don't need to win
one hundred and twenty games.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
We're gonna be ready to go in September October. You know,
given the way the season was last year, now you
look at what's happening this year, and the fans love
every day and every night, and the players want to
win every day and every night, but the fans, I
think the fans want it more every day and every night,
to be very honest with you, Because the players know
we're gonna play tomorrow, the fans have to carry the

(06:36):
loss with them, and some fans do that. But there
are some games that mean more. These three games mean
more now. But you're right, Rodney, when we get to
September October, as long as it's not like a one
game separation for the division, this will all be forgotten

(07:01):
and the only ones they'll remember the ones at the end.
Were you like that when you played.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
What do you forget the ones early in the season. Yeah,
well yeah, I mean they were big at the moment,
but if you and oftentimes we saw the same team
again that we played during the season in the playoffs,
and so certainly, yes, it admit more or at the
end of the year to decide who won that division.

(07:30):
But that's not to say that those early season matchups
were bigger at the time. And as the season goes
and you fight figure out if you're on a collision
course or not, once you do match up again, yeah,
they become much bigger than that that game you played
back in September, do you, guys ratually during the season,
you know, if you play him twice in football and

(07:52):
they get you the first time the second time, do
they give you the business while they're out there, they
ever talk about that or you.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Just forget seriously? No, yeah, no, you don't even you
don't think about it.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
And you know you got to play especially finisher and
your division, know you got to play them twice, so
you don't you know, you know, you don't give it
to him during during the regular season. Now if you
beat them twice and then you know, he's usually reserved
to the offseason, if you see some people and say, yeah,
we got after you a couple of times, or we
beat you in the playoffs. And but during the season, now,

(08:21):
guys don't go back and forth like that because you
know you got to play the next week and you
can be humbled.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Are you still the opinion? And we were when the
season started, then a dose are reality set in? But
are you still of the opinion every night the Dodgers
will go out and win. Do you believe that every
single night? Now they're not going to But when the
game starts, do you believe every night they're going to win? Yeah?
I do.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Even with the injuries, even with some guys not not
being as healthy as they they they could be going
into the game. It doesn't matter who they're playing. They
you know, matched up against mat Max Freed when the
Yankees came to Now, I believe that it didn't matter. Uh,
And it doesn't matter when the Dodgers go out to play.
I expect them to win every game. Every game. I

(09:10):
expect them to be better than their their opponent, whoever
they're playing. It's just a mentality and I know those
the players believe that too. And and when you got
the locker room believe in that that that's a powerful thing.
But I'm sure that I'm sure most of the fan
base believe the same thing. I don't think they go
into whoever the Dodger's playing, Mets, Yankees, padres. I don't

(09:34):
think anybody goes into if your true Dodger fan goes
into it and go I don't think we're gonna get
this one today. I don't think we're gonna get that
one today. I think, no matter what most Dodger fans
will feel, Yeah, our lineup, our squad, our players, we're
gonna find a way to win. What about you?

Speaker 1 (09:55):
You going? Is there a series of team that you want?
I did not gonna win this one. No. I believe
going in they're going to win every game. I do,
but I am not so leather headed to believe that
they're gonna kill everybody. I think some will be harder

(10:15):
than others, and I get frustrated when they fall behind
early or they make mistakes, which has nothing to do
with me, and it's not my business. I'm just a
fan watching, but I do I get frustrated in those events.
And if they're if they're struggling, then I get really frustrated,
like struggling. What's struggling, like.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
If they lose three now three out of four, we're
gonna leave seven guys.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
No, we're gonna leave seven guys on base and lose
by a run. I got you that kind of stuff.
Not if we're on a.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Losing streak or anything like that, but if they're in
the in the middle of a game, if they're can't
you know, score anybody, and when they're in scoring position
inning after anying, that frustrations and then you get upset
and worried.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
It's and it's you know what, even if they're in
a losing streak, Oh they got swept, Okay, that doesn't
matter to me. What matters to me is how they play.
The result isn't as important at this time. It's just
how they play.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
But you said they get if they would have gotten
they can't now. But if they played this series and
got swept by San Diego's, it wouldn't have.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Mattered to you. That wouldn't have mattered to you. I
don't have any right to feel this way. I have
no right to so I'll preface it. I have no
right to feel this way. But if that happened, I'd
have been pissed. Yeah, I would have been. And it's
why I don't work for them. I don't get paid
by them. They don't pay me to come to the games.

(11:40):
But I would have been pissed if they If the
Padres had swept them in these three, that would have
been it. I really would have been upset. Would that rational?

Speaker 2 (11:48):
But I would have been Would have would have changed
your thought process on the team going forward and what
they could do? Because we're still in June, It wouldn't
have changed my thought. You would have just been pissed, Yeah,
I would Would you would you have been concerned at all?

Speaker 1 (12:02):
No? I wouldn't have been concerned.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
If this happens in August and they swiped sweep the
Dodgers in August, late August. I don't know when they
play again, but if if they happen, they play in
late August, and if Padre sweep the Dodgers, how would
you feel then?

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Pissed and not concerned? And well, it depends. Are we
coming down the home stretch here? Is that what you're saying,
we're coming down the home stretch. It's it's neck and
neck and it's tight it's a matter of two to
three games one way or another. If the Dodgers played
well in every one of those games and lost, I
wouldn't be I would not be concerned. If the Dodgers

(12:38):
played poorly they left twelve runners on base in two
of the three. If that were to occur and their
pitchers got lit, then I honestly I'd be concerned. Right.
That's when you start to go, all right, where are
we at here? Yeah, but it's irrational, and you see
as a fan, you're irrational. Two, you are completely irrational.

(13:00):
You're irrational because you do get upset if they lose.
I get it. Why do you think I came out
in the air today and said last night last night
was so important. Last night meant everything. You gotta get
that first one because I would have been pissed. So
now I'm fine no matter what happens. They got that.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Even though that game was back and forth and they
were battling and then went to extra innings, you still
would have been pissed. Yeah, they were more pissed than
if the Dodgers, like you said, pitchers got eight up
and they lost that game seven to one. Some of
the lofsided losses like some of the Dodgers have had
this year, you still have been pissed or would that

(13:42):
have concerned you?

Speaker 1 (13:44):
I would not be concerned if they if they came
up on the wrong end last night, yeah, I just said, man,
that was a close and we'll got them tonight. Honestly,
that's what I would have said, that we had bad
luck or whatever, we got them tonight, because you were
in it. If they got blown out yesterday, no, so
that that would not work, then I would have been
upset again for no reason. It is completely irrational behavior,

(14:07):
and I know that. But I think if you are
a fan of a team.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
You're a passionate you're you know, look, we don't only
just talk about the Dodge. Both of us are fans, right.
We like the team, We like to make up a team,
want to see them win. So sometimes you can't separate
that as a as a fan, you're like, yeah, I'm
rooting for them, and when they don't win or don't
play well, it bothers you. It bothers you, especially if

(14:35):
it happens multiple times. You know, had they gone and
blew a lead or got blown out, yeah, you would
be pissed off and even if they even if last
night they found a way to lose that game in
x RA innings or Padres found a way to win,
it would have been man, we let one get away,
We let one get away, and that would that would

(14:57):
have been an uneasy feeling, uncomfort until you played the
next game.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
See the players play every day. And that's why Dave
Roberts says, you know that was yesterday and now we
worry about today. And there's an art to managing in
Major League Baseball because that's how you have to look
at things because there are so many games, and I
think you have to learn how to turn that one
off and get ready for the next one because you
go again tomorrow, so you can't. You have no time
to sit here and bemoan it. You just move on.

(15:26):
Bruce Bochi as great as at that managing, he's really
good at that, and Dave Roberts is too. Okay, So
the guys are gonna go on. No matter what would
have happened last night. They'll be taking BP tonight and
going out and playing. Fans would have been upset, Fans
would have been concerned. Look at me with the Kings.
That is completely irrational behavior. And I know that it

(15:50):
makes no sense they get beaten the playoffs. I am
really upset. There's nothing I can do, and they probably
I'm sure they don't care what I think. But I
am a fan and it really upsets me. So then
I start saying irrational things like well, you have to
make changes, somebody has to go do something. All those

(16:11):
feelings are irrational. I know that, but as a Norman, but.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
That way, that's a normal fan reaction. When your team
doesn't win, or your team doesn't perform up to their capabilities,
something has to be done, and that is that is
the feeling. Yes, oftentimes it is irrational, and people make
irrational decisions, you know, but that's also the sports where

(16:39):
we live in and it's become more that of late
when you're seeing ownerships be impatient and fire a coach
after they get to the Eastern Conference finals, or fire
coach three games into the end of the season getting
ready to head into the playoffs. You know, there's a
lot of a lot of quick decisions made, and I
think a lot of it is because people are irrational.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
I mean, look at Michael Conforto for example. Let's just
all be honest. Can we do that, or even when
Chris Taylor's with the Dodgers. By the way, he's played
okay with the Angels, so good for him. Everybody's rooting
for him till good for him. But let's look at
Michael Conforto. He's really struggled. I mean, just lay it
out there. He hasn't helped, that's the truth. The irrational

(17:29):
person goes, get rid of this guy. You're killing us.
You're not doing what you came here to do. Michael
Confordo could be the nicest guy on the planet and
you never wish bad for anybody. The irrational fan says, no,
you don't even want to see him in a lineup.

(17:49):
The irrational fan starts booing Pedro Biaz. When they open
up the dugout gates and he comes running out, they
start booing him that you're irrational. The other way of thinking,
Michael Confordo, God, I really root for the guy. Tonight'll
be the night, Tonight will be the night. This is

(18:11):
the night. I don't know what he'll do. He'll go
three for three with two home runs, and the nightmare
is over look at Tanner Scott when he was struggling
irrationally you're going, oh, don't send him back out there again.
M hmm, don't make that mistake, and you were the
champion of that. Don't do that. Don't put him back

(18:32):
out there now. You can't trot him back out there right.
Send him somewhere, put him on the put him on
the il, send him somewhere, tell him to take an
injury so we have some time to think about it
and work out that's completely irrational. The reality is you
were right in that scenario. The only way this guy's
going to work his way out of it is to

(18:53):
work his way out of it, not listen to some
crazy man yelling you can't send him back out there again.
That's your rat. It's completely irrational. So the Dodgers winning
that first game last night, to button all of this
up to me, was critical because if they had lost,
I would have become irrational, and lord knows we don't

(19:17):
want to see that. Okay, let's get more into the
student athlete athlete student college sports that don't exist. Next,
we've made.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
It even easier to take LA sports with you this summer.
Make AM five to seventy or your favorite AM five
seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on the iHeartRadio app
using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto road Trip all summer
with La sports O.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
No you didn't, ah, No you didn't. Thank you, Ronnie.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Look at that bring it all the way back the
theme from twenty one Jump Street and who's that girl
singing lead on that?

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (20:04):
I mean you talk about the residuals from singing that song?
Where you know what happened to those anyway, Roddy Pete
fred Rogan on a Tuesday, Thank you for that, Ronnie.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
That's great stuff. Could Holly always sing?

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Yeah, that's what she wanted to be growing up and
all that she did, all the singing and in studio.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
And all that stuff. Wanted to be a singer. And then.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Right well in college, actually she auditioned for twenty one
Jump Street, a new show on new network called Fox.
At that time, you know, nobody knew about Fox, and
they had what they had The Simpsons and they had
married with children were like the two big shows, and
they were launching this big new network and a bunch

(20:49):
of new shows. And she got it, and.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
That's that's kind of started her career.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Along with Johnny Depp and Peter Delaweze and a bunch
of other people that guest start up there, a lot
of Canadian actors. Most all of them went through there
at some point. Jason Priestley, Brad Pitt, they all were
guest stars on twenty one Jump Street for those five
years that they were up there doing it.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Had she ever acted before? When she was not?

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Like seriously, she had been in little bit parts as
a girl. Her mom was, you know, a manager here
in Hollywood, so she got access to.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
A lot of things.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
But her dad definitely did not want her to act.
But she did, you know, some small bit parts, but
nothing like the jumpstin Jump Streak thing where she just
she kind of went for it and got it.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
On the first try.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
It was like one of her first auditions that she
really truly went out on and got it.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
She ever worked? You ever ask her this? I've always
wondered this about people that act. Is it hard to
memorize all those lines? And I'm being dead serious. I
mean there's a lot of dialogue you have to memorize.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah, it is, and some dialogue obviously is harder than others.
But it's like anything, you gotta you gotta work at
your craft, and you know, you get, you get scripts,
fread or things that you got to memorize. I got
to memorize the whole playbook, and I kind of looked
at it that way. It's like, Okay, yeah, I guess
so if I needed to memorize a game plan for

(22:23):
for a Sunday game, what there is over a hundred plays.
It's similar to her, you know, memorizing a scene in
a show. But in a scene in a show, they
can stop and cut and go back and do that again.
You know, they do it in bits and pieces.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
You know. The Broadway stuff is harder because you do.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Have that long that long dialogue that you're on stage
in those lines, you definitely have to remember them all.
There's no stopping down and cutting. Let's do that again
when you're on stage. But it's difficult.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
It is. It's an art form for sure. And they
shot those shows in Canada, Yeah, up in Vancouver. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
It was the budding beginning of the Vancouver film industry
and giving you know, breaks for studios to go up
and shoot up there. So they started off doing a lot.
They were one of the first shows that that shot
up in Canada in Vancouver, and then after that there
was just an onslaught of number of shows that shot
up there.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
It's amazing how much business has been lost because of
the taxes here in Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Doubt, and they're trying to bring it back now, they're
trying to be do you know something where there there's
some breaks for shooting here. But yeah, and you would
think over time being that not only La but California,
it's such a as a history of shooting and it's
where Horllywood is based, that they would they would make
get or bend over backwards to keep things here and

(23:50):
keep things shot here. You know, for a long period
time people it would go to camp still do go
to Canada, but now they're going to you know, Georgia.
Georgia is a very big state to shoot and because
of the tax credits and even now Florida's turned into
that as well.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
So it's great. The place that originated didn't see that
coming and then lost all the business and it's that's
just mind boggling to me. I mean, I know where
it's a sports show, but you know, this is Hollywood.
This is where everything is made. This is where dreams
come true. And the Shuttle was shot in Vancouver, or

(24:31):
making Georgia right, because it's too expensive to shoot it here.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Right, that that scene that's supposed to be downtown LA
is actually downtown Toronto at some point, and you going
through the streets of Toronto to yet they do the
back shots or you know, side shots in La but
they're actually filming in Canada somewhere.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
All right, let's talk more about the n C DOUAA.
We talked about this yesterday. Student athletes athletes students, And
first they're not students, they are athletes. And how each
school now there's a salary cap and everybody's got to
pay up to twenty million dollars got to pay their athletes.
A good chunk of it goes to the football team,
the next chunk goes to the basketball team, and a

(25:14):
teeny little, idy bitty chunk goes to everybody else. And
that's how it's going to work. So then there was
a question about NIL, and we have to regulate NIL.
So then they're going to put a committee together and
the committee is going to determine if someone is getting
market value in an NIL deal. So this independent committee
is going to decide if Rodney Pete, who is getting

(25:37):
paid at USC to be the quarterback and someone comes
to him with a two million dollar deal to endorse
cheval leaves from some local car dealer. They can turn
around the Independent Committee and say, well, I'm sorry, well
that's excessive. You can't have that. Oh that's going to work.
That's really going to work. We're deciding the deal is

(25:59):
too big for you. Therefore it's unfair.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
It's just going to lead to more corruption, right, more
more of what it was in the past. Because I
think there's what a six hundred dollars allotment per per player,
per athlete uh in il money and you and anything
above that it has to be put forth towards, you know,

(26:22):
to the committee to see if they can determine whether
you're autographs signing at a car dealership was worth ten
thousand dollars or not. Right, you know that's going to work. Yeah,
how's that going to really work? I mean because a
lot of this you know, nil stuff and you talk
about twenty million dollars and how that, you know, gets
dispersed to the different athletes being you know, the money.

(26:45):
Sports obviously will get a big lion share, but if
you're a school that has both football and basketball, there's
a big time school like that or big time you know,
women's sports as well. How do you compensate every one?
How does everyone be? You know, how is everyone happy?

(27:05):
Are the days of you know, certain kids getting five
million dollars?

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Those days are over.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
Everybody's going to be, you know, taking a pay cut
now because they got to pay everybody with this twenty
million dollars.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Right, Well, that's what the school has to do. You
can make up your side change with the nil.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
And then they're saying that I can recognize as well,
right like Juju Watkins, you know, like the in a
you know se football program and you know gets the
lion's share of the money. You know, Juju was making
as much as or more than any any of the
guy on the football team, and all of a sudden
she can only make half of that on nil.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Right, No, it doesn't make sense. That's not going to happen.
I mean, they can sit here and say this is
going to be a great plan and here's what we're
gonna do. No one's gonna do that. No court is
going to allow that to happen. You're telling me that
I can't make what I'm what I can make you're
restricting how much money it's made last year. Yeah, is
that what you're saying? Somebody wants to give me five

(28:07):
million dollars and you're saying they can give me five hundred. No,
that won't work. We understand how that is. The Other
thing they're trying to do is now we're gonna start
playing with the transfer portal, and you know they want
to regulate this the NC double A. Let the NC
double A get in here, you know why. And we

(28:27):
have to figure out the penalties. Oh, they're gonna be penalties.
They're gonna be penalties if you exceed the nil and
we will determine the penalties. And what's the penalty going
to be? What are you gonna do? You're gonna take
away my conference title? First, it's nice to win. The
majority of those kids are there to become pros. Everybody
wants to win. Don't get me wrong. Oh, we're gonna

(28:51):
fix you real good. No, you're really not gonna fix this.
You're not well, we're gonna take away your trophy. Okay,
no problem, take it. I'm fine. We actually want it.
We all know we want it.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
Oh, we know it's like, yeah, the USC trophy and
five against Oklahoma. Okay, really you think Oklahoma and anything
of those guys that are Oklahoma. So you're gonna say
they want it. Now, do you think they actually believe
they're the national champions? No, we all know that. We
all know who won the Heisman year right, Okay, so
you know he had to fight to get his trophy,

(29:23):
but we all know who won the Heisman.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
It doesn't it's not gonna matter that much.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
You know, it matters for the school and prestige and
how you promote it and all those things, but not
so much for the for the for the kids because
you played it on the field and they know and
they know.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
You're hundred percent right. So we're now we're gonna put
these rules into institute things. No, that horse has left
the bar. You're not. You're just not what they need. Honestly,
they need a system very much like collective bargaining in
baseball or the NBA. Yeah, that's what they need. Stop

(29:59):
with all of this. Well, we'll try this, and that's
gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
We're on the verge of the players players having a
union in college sports now, Yeah, they're talking about that.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Yeah, this is a way to stop that we're already crazy. See, yeah,
we're already paying you. What are you doing? What are
you doing now?

Speaker 2 (30:17):
We want to make sure that you don't go back
to the stone ages. And so we as a union
just have as much say so as the NCAAA or
whoever else out there, because it can't be one sided.
And it doesn't make sense if we just pointed out
that if a person like Juji Watkins is making ten
million dollars in ANIL and all of a sudden, now

(30:39):
you're going to tell her she can only make a
third of that, a quarter of that because you're saying
they're paying her too much money for her visibility.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
That's not gonna work. Well.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
See, this is how they get around, and this is
why the NCAA wants to stay involved when they're trying
to get Congress involved, because right now, those players are
not employees, and if they unionize, the signed a collective
bargaining deal with the schools or the conferences or whoever
they would be. So if you're not qualified as an employee,
then they can kind of impose whatever rules they want

(31:11):
to a certain degree. If you're an employee, then it's different.
So that's why the NCAA is trying to fight along
with this new committee or whatever you want to call it,
to try to make sure that they still maintain amateur
status while also trying to make sure that they get
compensated in some way. The big thing for them is
trying to make sure that the athletes remain qualified or
classified I should say, as amateurs, which we all know

(31:31):
is ridiculous. That's what they're fighting for. That's what they're fighting.
By the way, the Supreme Court set that fret. So
the reason why the NIL ran rampant and was unregulated
for as long as it was is because there was
another case that was brought upore the Supreme Court, and
the Supreme Court voted nine nothing saying like, you better
compensate these kids for these NIL because you guys are
making billions of dollars and they're getting nothing. And that's

(31:54):
why it opened up so they can get Congress involved
in this situation again if they want to and try
to pass this law. Supreme Court is never going to
allow this to pass. You're not going to say that
these guys are these people, can I get compensated for
the work that they're doing and you're making billions and
they're not. That's unconstitutional.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
We already know this is going to end.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
I think the Supreme Court set a record time in
coming back to get to that nine to Ozho too.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
You're right, you're right, Rodney. And by the way, this
is a split court. This is not necessarily this was
across the board, all.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Of them, all Republican or Democrat.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
I don't know how you do that. I mean, I
get it. I know they want to regulate it a
little bit, but I don't know. And I get the
salary cap because if you're going forward, and their fear
is you're only going to have five schools that are
always going to compete for the title. All right, let's
just say Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama, you know, Penn State, Texas,

(32:49):
and maybe throw Oregon and SC in there. Okay, that's
all you're going to get competing every single year because
they've got they've got all the money, they're going to
get all the players. So you can kind of understand
that they're you know where they're going with the salary
cap for each school and now you're on it. But
outside of that, if there's an individual superstar, you cannot

(33:11):
regulate how much money that kid can make off the field. No,
So their argument will be, well, this is like the
old days, right Ken of when you went to USC
you know, water the lawn and here's ten thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
I mean, that's that happened to you, right Freddy? How
dare you say that?

Speaker 2 (33:29):
I don't even know what you're talking about here, Rodney,
you saw that on some movie. Now, oh you're on
some movie that that that's what they did for those athletes.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Rodney, you get four tickets a game, you know, give
them to your family, give them to your friends, or
just give them to me for fifteen thousand dollars. I
mean they didn't do stuff like that back then, did they.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Of course not, of course not not to my knowledge.
To the best of my knowledge, that did not happen. Friend, Okay, well.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
And that's that's all we can work with. Yeah, that's
not what you have of it.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
A favorable car dealer did not give guys cars along
the way. That did not happen.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Didn't happen. But you see, if they pull this game,
it's gonna happen again. Oh yeah, it's gonna again.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
You can't put it as they say, you can't put
the two space back into tube right once you open
it up, and guys and players and college athletes can
make money. It ain't going back the other way because
you can say I can only get six hundred dollars
all you want. You don't think, Okay, give me six
hundred dollars and the next million five make it in

(34:35):
cash or put it in a separate annuity or bank
account or LLC or something that I'm gonna get it somehow,
some way.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
You're kidding me. That is never gonna work. Now.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
What I do think they should definitely needs to be
some sort of regulation is on the transfer portal.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
I do. I don't think you know, you should be
be able to transfer. I don't.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
I don't want to stop that at all, but transfer
in four times in four years. Something has to something
has to give with that, you know what I mean.
You can't just okay, I didn't I didn't beat out
this this kid in spring ball, so I'm transferring.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
I'm going to new school.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Then the next year round, I didn't beat this kid out,
So I'm gonna transfer again, and I'm gonna transfer again,
and I'm a and be able to play that same
year where.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
It used to be where you had to sit out
a year.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
And I don't know the answer, I really don't, but
I just don't like it that kids can up and
just leave in the middle of the season and go
from school to school and school multiple schools. Maybe you
get to do it once or twice and and still
keep your eligibility for that season, but to do it
multiple times, it just it's just a recipe of a
disaster which is turned into.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Be So you're saying you can transfer twice. Yeah, I
would say you transfer. You can transfer twice.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
You can transfer twice without any hearts penalty if you
if you transfer a third time, you might have to
sit out. Okay, So season are a number of games.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
So you're saying I can here.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
I am.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
I play at USC, all right, I play one year
at USC, but I'm not really playing. So now I'm
gonna go to Mississippi State. I can do that, right, Yeah, Okay,
Mississippi State didn't work out so well for me. Now
I'm gonna go to Iowa. You're saying at that point
the third time, now something has to be done. Yeah,

(36:33):
something something. I don't know what that is.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
It's it's games, it's it's maybe not a full season,
maybe you you're not eligible for any compensation at that point.
I don't know, but something has to give where it's
not as easy to just up and transfer because what
that's doing is and I know it's different because you've

(36:56):
got your heart set on certain guys playing, but it's
it eliminates the competition anymore. Right, So it's like you
it used to be where you're competing in spring football
or competing in preseason for a job, and at the
end to start the season, a week before the opening day,
you find out who the starters are. And it's so

(37:17):
if you're not a starter after week one, then I'm
going to transfer. I'm entering the transfer portal because I
didn't start, and it eliminates the competition. Now, so, how
how do universities, big time schools keep a backup quarterback
or a backup a talented, quality backup quarterback or a

(37:39):
backup Say, if you're if you're wide receiver heavy school,
you keep that third wide receiver if he's not starting,
how do you keep him on your roster?

Speaker 1 (37:50):
They become walk ons.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
They're all going to be wanting to go, wanting to
leave because I didn't get playing time. Right, If you're
a backup quarterback and you're the same age as a
guy starting, you're leaving. Yeah, the clock is ticking. You
gotta go. So again, I don't know what the penalty
should be. I don't want it to be harsh, but

(38:13):
it's got to be something where it's not as easy.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
Well, if you use those empic you lose and apparently
you gain, we'll talk about it.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or your
favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on
the iHeartRadio app using Apple car Play or Android Auto
road Trip all summer with LA Sports.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
Come on back rydny p Fred Rogan on a Tuesday,
June tenth.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
Yeah, it is, come on, Freddy, let's go all right.
You know what anybody in ozempic I do. I knew several
people and how it worked for Wonder Drug.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
I would say ninety percent of the people that I
know that are are on it app taken it.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
It's worked for.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
You know, and it just like I guess, just like
Biagara back in the day. But Ozempic was its Originally
it's for pre diabetes and diet. It's a diabetic drug,
and a lot of people on it because a lot
of people that suffer from diabetes or pre pre are
pre diabetic, suffer with weight gain. And what they found

(39:41):
was that it curved your appetite and it allowed a
lot of people to lose Weight's a lot of people
lost a lot of weight when they started taking it,
and it became not a diabetic drug anymore, but more
it's just a weight loss drug, a weight loss shot.
So and it's and like I said, it's work for
about ninety percent of people I know that are on it.

(40:02):
They swear by it that it has helped them lose.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
A lot of weight.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
And you know the key with everything, once you get
older with weight gain, you gotta you gotta maintain it,
and you got to continue a certain It's more lifestyle
than doing anything. It's a miracle drug for a minute,
but once you get off of it, you've got to
maintain the lifestyle. And a lot of people I know
have gotten on it, lost weight, gotten off of it,

(40:29):
gained weight, went back on it, lost weight, get off
of it, gain weight. I mean, it's just a cycle.
So you've got to change yourself up a little bit
if you're gonna if you're gonna use something like that.
Side effects I haven't I haven't really heard of, you know,
too many, too many side effects other than the some

(40:50):
people that I've talked to when they first started it.
May you know, they were I guess got a little
nauseous along the way, but in terms of their their appetite,
they felt like they they couldn't complete a full meal.
And maybe that's the uh, that's the hook for it
is that it doesn't allow you to overeat.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
Yeah, well, I I do know a side effect. I
read about it. It's interesting. Yeah, yeah, uh it increases
the size of your private part. M It makes you bigger,
maybe by an inch hm hm. Also gives you a
little more girth. Wow. Wow, I had not heard that

(41:33):
m H. I just read it. Yeah it uh, it
just makes you a bigger man. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
You never know, I guess you never know when you uh,
when you get these uh, these relatively new drugs that
hit the market that are designed for one thing and
all of a sudden helps you know that it wasn't that.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
The case with Viagra.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
It was used, it was brought onto the market for
something else, and then it then men found out that
it gave them an erection, and that's when it turned
into viagra. And they found the ingredients in what they
were prescribing gave men inactions.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Though they created viagra.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
From this, this drug was used to treat something else,
and so maybe this is the wave of the future.
Now for at ozempic is not just for weight loss,
it's for gain in other areas.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
Yeah, this guy said he gained an inch and a half.
If life is a game of interest, an inch and
a half is a big game. Now here's the thing.
Because there's.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
There's there's there's there's real stories, there's rumors, and then
there's planted rumors. Is this a planted rumor by some
of the folks that ozempic or marketing ozipic to increase sales.
Because you tell a man this will increase your size

(43:01):
by an inch, men are running to the drug store
to get a prescription for this.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Nonh Yeah, apparently it increases blood flow and reduces fat
around the pubic area. Therefore it's bigger. I mean, look,
when I had my knee done, I'll never forget. And
I told the story when I'm sitting there and they
gave me this cup of pills before you take into surgery,
and I'm wondering, and I even asked, what you should

(43:29):
I take all of these at once, and of course,
yes you should. We're the medical professionals. We know what
you're doing. And I took them and it acted like viagra.
I don't know what was in that cup of pills,
but it was like, Wow, this is before you had
your knee surgery. Yeah. Really, And I've had several knee surgeries.

(43:51):
I have not had.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Knee surgery where prior to my knee surgery, I was
asked to take the medicine, the medicine that me an
erection before I went into surgery. Fred, Well, times have changed.
That's a true story. It actually happened. And now I'll
be honest with you. I've been thinking about losing some weight.

(44:16):
So all right, David Va, say I'll join us from
San Diego next
