Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
I would continue on fred Rogan, Rodney Pete, Eric Dickerson. Well,
we just got word on Pooka Nakula. Looks like it's
uh an MCL and uh looks like injury list.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Didn't say how long?

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Huh week to week? Yeah, latest I heard. I don't know,
but I mean that just came down, Freddy.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
What is the PCO post heior cruciate ligament? Is the
back your know, not the A c L but post
hereor PCL.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
The not the right or the left, the back. Yeah,
so Adam, does it? Does it speculate how long you'll
be out?

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Well?

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Injured reserve is a possibility right now, so indefinitely.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
All right, that's the pook At Nakula update. Also, when
the break, Adam just texted me something. I don't know
if you guys knew this or not, or if you
knew this person. James Earl Jones died.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah. I just saw that come across James Earl Jones.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
It just popped on my timeline that he passed away today.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Boy, how many voices that he He's so recognizable for man,
just that voice. What an iconic figure and actor and
activists and all of that stars Bata. I mean, come on,
he was the guy. This is CNN, right.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
I told Adam, And I'm trying to see if you
can pull that this is CNN.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
This is CNN. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
Let me let me ask you guys a question. You know,
since we're older guys, how often do you think about dying?
Now you think about it afraid of dying, Like, did
you cross your mind at all?

Speaker 1 (01:43):
That's really a fascinating question because, as you know, and
we have people of all different generations listening to us,
I have noticed as people have gotten older. I don't
happen to be one of them, by the way, I
do not think about it, But as people have gotten older,
they talk more and more about it. And I didn't

(02:05):
realize that when I was younger, but now they're older
and they talk more about it. So yeah, I think
people actually do when you hit a certain point. And
I'll tell you when I think that point is when
is it? When people turn fifty they believe they're going

(02:26):
to the back, you know, the back nine. Now they're
halfway home. And I don't know why that's the point
of demarcation, but that's what I started to notice. When
people got into their fifties, they started to worry and
discuss it more.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
But have you noticed also that as you get older
that number doesn't seem as old it was when you
were younger.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Oh yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
For instance, like when you were in the twenties, the
year heard somebody was fifty, you'd be like, ooh ma,
guess fifty fifty years old?

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Old? Eat fifty. And when you get fifty, it's like, oh,
it's not that bad. Fifty is is not that old?

Speaker 1 (03:07):
And well look at it like this James James Earl
Jones was ninety three.

Speaker 5 (03:10):
I think he's a bad You think he's a baby
the baby boy, good time. It is what I gotta
say this much your I for maybe for you Fred,
maybe shooting the riding in the same, but for me,
I mean I think about it every single.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Day, do you really?

Speaker 5 (03:26):
Every day the day doesn't pass. I don't think about it.
I swear, and I look at my kids and I
look at I look at look at my life. Then
I think I'm like, okay, now I see it. It's
my dad and mom to talk about it. You know,
see you one day you're gonna die, you know, one
day we're gonna die. And they're gonna be here blah
blah blah. And I tell my kids. I find my
and I used to hate my dad. I said, least
don't say that. He says, Son, that's that's a part

(03:46):
of life.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Eric.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
He said, I'm just telling you you're not gonna be
it forever. And the thing is, I find I find
myself telling my kids what my dad told me and
my mom would tell me, and they said, Dad, I
don't want to hear it. I say, I say, I'm
telling you. I said, I'm sorry just to break it
to you, but your dad's not gonna be all the time.
I said, I want you to remember these things that
I tell you. I mean, and it's just amazing. I
saw Keanu Reeves on an interview, the actor Keanu Reeves,

(04:07):
and he says, he says, I think about dying every day.
I'm like, wow, Okay, somebody else says said the two
because I do. And it's not that I'm ready to die,
but it's just I guess it's a fact that life.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Fred.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
I mean, I look at my kids and I look
at Wow. I rememberhen Dallas was like he's two, and
Curried was like like six. And now you know she's
she's nineteen and he's twelve, and I'm like, I'm sixty
four years old. I mean, you're right when you were
when you were twenty five years old, twenty three, and
a girl would say, oh, my boyfriend's forty five, forty.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Five, that old last man. That's an old last man.
I mean, But now forty five and forty is a
young age.

Speaker 5 (04:42):
They could say fifty or fifty to new thirty of sixties,
a new whatever, fifty, But that's that's best. Bs man,
I'm gonna tell you, brother, your ass is getting old.
I mean it's like it's like it's like an old
man talking about you know.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Oh yeah, you know. I still I still like I
steel like women, but I'm sixty.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
But I don't want no sixty old, right, Why you
don't want a sixty old You don't want no sixty You.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Want a younger woman. You don't want no old lady.
All right?

Speaker 4 (05:10):
So do you do you do you look when you
say you think about it every day, do you think
about it in a way that is like sad or
do you think about it in a way that is
you're just being real about where you are in life
right now?

Speaker 5 (05:24):
I'm being real about where I'm in life right now.
Right that's a great question, where I'm in life right now,
because look, I'm not It's like it's like a plane.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
I'm not taking off. I'm going to Atlanta.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
It's like buckle your seat belt, you know, put your
tray in the up upright position, but you see in
the upright position, push your tray up. Plus we're going
I'm going down. I'm going down now. I mean, that's
just the facts. I mean, I'm not gonna I'm not
gonna live another sixty years. I mean, if people ask me,
what's what's my number? If you could live for a number,
my thing is this, I don't want anybody to take
care of me, put me in on diapers, none of

(05:54):
that kind of crap.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
I would.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
If my number was seventy five, I'm good with that.
If my number seventy, I'm good with that. Because you know,
one thing is I miss my mom and dad.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
I do.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
I miss them, and it's it's it's to not being selfish,
not at all. I think about my kids. I'm like,
my kids are gonna miss me. I'm gonna miss them too.
But man, I I can't wait till hopefully one day
see my mom and dad again.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
I really do.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
I mean, that's that's the part that that I'm I say,
you can say excited about something, if it's a life
after death, I'm excited about I'm excited about that point.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
I do most definitely. I do believe that I was
taught to. I believe that wholeheartedly.

Speaker 5 (06:29):
I don't think all these people that are supposed to
have these out of body experiences and dying go to
heaven and go to wherever they go.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
You know, they don't come back and they're not they
don't make up the lie.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
I mean little kids for like a little kids says,
you know, I saw my I saw my sister, I
saw I saw Grandma. You know, they're not making they
might may not making that up. I mean, I believe
it one hundred percent. There's so many things in this
world we don't know about. But yeah, I think about
it all the time. And I'm not, like I said,
I'm not ready to get out of here yet, but
I'm not. I'm not afraid to die either. You know
what my thing is, I don't want to I don't

(06:59):
want to be suffering. I don't want to be sick
for a long time. Three things I don't want to
be sick for. I know you can't pick the where
you go. I don't want to be sick for no
long time. I don't want to go down a plane
because I known't be screaming my ass off. I don't
want to drown because I almost did that that's horrible.
And I don't want to burn. No burning, So I

(07:19):
just hope. I just think my dad just kind of
go in my sleep.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
See.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
I lost my parents when I was young, my dad
when I was thirteen and my mom when I was
like twenty five, twenty six, So maybe I view it
a little differently because I've outlived both of them. So
for me, I just and I Eric, there are more
people like you of a certain age than there are
of me. Trust me, I know this. And Rodney you

(07:47):
know I mean. And anybody listening now, if there of
a certain age, you know exactly what these guys are
talking about. And if you're not and you think it's crazy,
you'll find out.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
You'll find out.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
You can't find out, you'll find out because some things,
you know what, Some things change, life evolves, and some
things never change. And this is something that never changes.

Speaker 5 (08:11):
Ever, like like those like those explosions going up behind you.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Behind the statement going on now.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
But at some point, yeah, you come to grips with
real life and what's what's what's real?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
And it at least you know for me, it just.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
Makes it it, It makes you not necessarily afraid of it.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
I'm with you. I don't want to stuff.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
I don't want to have somebody have to just wait
on my hand and foot and and be like that.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
But you come to grips with that.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
Yeah, you on the back nine and and and you
appreciate things a little bit more, and you you stop
the smelling a little bit better than you used to.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
You know, good, look at your keys. Just look at
your key, I said, you kids, tell you look at
your Look at your children. Yeah, once upon a time,
you look at the old pictures. They were three four like,
look at it. Look how little they were. You think
of the pictures. Look how young I was. I look
at my picture.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
I'm like, damn old man.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
Right now, you catch yourself walking past the mirror. Oh man,
I wait a minute, who is that he had.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
In my house?

Speaker 5 (09:21):
We did that, We did the reunion with at the
Raiders reunion. Willie God was taking picture. Willie was laughing.
So I said, Willie, stop taking these uglass pictures. I said,
I said this, I said, I looked ugly in these
pre I said, I said, this picture is horrible looking.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
I said, I looked like I'm like ninety.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
When I went to my first high school reunion ten
years sold churche, how far back, it was like four
people had no hair, two people had no teeth. This
is ten years.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
And they had this.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Table ten years after your high school ten years ten no,
ten years after our ten years reunion, okay, And they
had this no teeth, no teeth, no no teeth, I swear.
And then they had this table. This shows you, in
my mind, just the passage of time. So they had
this table at the beginning. It was a glass table

(10:14):
with pictures inside. And I started looking at all the
pictures and I thought, these people are all being acknowledged
for something they had accomplished, you know, and that we
would honor them tonight at the reunion. There were like
twelve pictures. They all died ten years after high school.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
That's it. That's the thing.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
And I thought I am never going to another reunion ever.
That was the most oppressing thing I'd ever been to,
and that was only ten years. Wait, how do you
three years older than you are?

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Really? Wow? I gotta say, Fred, you know you look good.

My wife Huko was producing that segment and she said,
you greeted everyone at the door in your briefs. Do
you remember that day in her vine?

Speaker 5 (14:31):
I don't know what I had on, but I probably

so they probably wouldn't.

Speaker 7 (14:37):

to Eric about that day in her Vine. Oh yeah,

(14:59):

Speaker 5 (15:09):

remember it. And it's it's right now. It sits the
back of Strawberry Farms golf course. Oh wow, o're looking

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Vic, that pregnant pause you had before you said hello here,
that wasn't an all timer. I'm checking the phone multiple times.
I'm asking Ronnie if he's up.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
I my god, Rogan, don't do Fred Rogan at him.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
Uh, that's been Fred Rogan for years now, where he
jumps in, dare jump in on that pregnant Paul.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
They go five minutes with that pause.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
I just want to make sure he was on Rodney.

Speaker 7 (16:17):
That's all.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
He's good. He's good. Don't do to Fred Rogan, mistake.

Speaker 7 (16:24):
His musical cuts. Keep us super cool in the sauna.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Oh my sonic soul brother King Flavor. Now let's go, Vic,
come on.

Speaker 7 (16:37):
Well once again. I want to get so much mad
love to one of the iconic voices of so many generations.
And it's it's amazing, it's ironic. I was watching Star
Wars this weekend because they had a Star Wars marathon,

(17:00):
and I was so loaded up on James Earl Jones
all weekend, and he was obviously one of the one
of the amazing, amazing characters. I mean, the voice of
Darth Vader come on, his voice so powerful, so poignant,

(17:25):
so profound. We're gonna miss James Earl Jones.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Man, that's not to argue that.

Speaker 7 (17:39):
He was. He was so just amazing, amazing, he was amazing. Yeah, well, Fellows,
Bolts and Raiders. That was a fifty four point turnaround
from the last time they played in Vegas. I mean
everyone is saying, oh, it was it was just a win. No,
it wasn't just a win for Jim Harbor and his

(18:00):
debut to turn it around against the Raiders who embarrassed
and humiliated the franchise. You guys, remember, thirteen hours after
that insane loss in Las Vegas, the head coach was gone,
the general manager was gone. I mean, that's how brutal

(18:24):
last year's Raiders victory was over the Chargers for everyone,
you know, Charger fans, you've got to just be cavling
about this. You know, I know, it's twenty two ten,
isn't sexy, but Jim Harbaugh is not sexy. He wins.
That's all he does is win, and that was a

(18:47):
signature Harball game. Ground Pound, Redefine the grind, Dobbins one
hundred and thirty five yards? Are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Redefine a grind?

Speaker 7 (18:59):
Okay, read define the grind. Jim Harbaugh man sensational victory.
Justin Herbert efficient, and that's what you want. You know,
charges don't want Herbert You're throwing forty times a game.
They want Herbert just being efficient. Get us down the field.

(19:23):
He has a sensational talent. But Herbert and a running
game and a solid defense. That's a playoff team. I
know it's game one, but I predicted the last last year.
Last week, Jim Harbaugh culture of the year charges into

(19:43):
the playoffs and that game was especially after not so
scintillating start. That was the essence of Jim Harball, Ground
Pound and.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
E d. The running game is back, Hey, Victor. Running game.

Speaker 5 (20:08):
It really went anywhere. And you saw when Michigan won
the National Championship. You saw when Kansas City won the
Super Bowl. Uh, what made those teams win those games?
The running game.

Speaker 7 (20:23):
You got to you've got to run it down. The
throw you you've got to break the will. You must
break the will. And you must have options. You've got
to have the defense prepare you for more than one. Look,
if you've got a running game, man, suddenly the defense
gets beaten up. Every player gets the line of scrimmage,

(20:44):
you're a little more beaten up. That's pure football, man,
Rams line is tough loss for the Rams and OT.
I'm losing Pooka with the angry knee. That was a
that's a tough flaws. I'm not sure. We don't know
how long. But remember as a rookie last year said records,

(21:06):
most receptions, most yours as a rookie wide out. Are
you kidding a Pooka? The core is just an insane
weapon for Matthew.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Don't you usually have an estimate on injuries? You usually
just have an estimate?

Speaker 7 (21:21):
I do, I do? I know? Well, listen, this is
the knee injury came out. What second corner came back
for a series I believe, and then came back out.
I don't think he's gonna play this Arizona. I think
it's a long shot.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Well that we agree with, but what are you giving
him two weeks a month?

Speaker 2 (21:37):
I mean, you're always.

Speaker 7 (21:38):
Spot I'm gonna go three weeks.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
So all months, okay, because I mean you always nail them.
The time you said a guy to be out three weeks,
he was out for the season.

Speaker 7 (21:47):
So I mean usually I do, I do tabble in
injury reports. Yeah, but you don't know, Fredie. You don't
know the severity.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
You don't know.

Speaker 7 (21:56):
I just know losing Pooka is a is a is
a tough is a very toughlo us for the Rams.
I agree, But you know, Cooper Coup had a sensational game.
Did you guys watch a little Eagles packers from Brazil

(22:16):
on the football field from hell?

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Oh? Terrible? Feel horrible? I didn't see it was the
field was the feel bad.

Speaker 7 (22:25):
Very seed. It was very dangerous, fell us play on
these fields. The game, I mean that field was more
dangerous than.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
The all right, talking about the dangers of things, I
will continue, uh e ed in today and we just
got word on pooking a Coupa. He's out four games,

(23:04):
four games.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
I said four to six weeks. But you know, and
you know, fraid they guessed. They don't really know. They can't.

Speaker 5 (23:08):
You know, he could be out three games before for sure,
probably because of you know, he used to put on
our But you know, you don't.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
They don't know because of how your boy the heels? Right?

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Did you ever go out?

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Eric?

Speaker 1 (23:19):
And they they expected a certain amount of time and
it was faster or slower.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
But I didn't miss my first game to my eighth
year in the league. Really, I'm I missed. Yeah, I missed.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
I missed my game first game because my hamstring had
a hamstring injury.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
I tried to play through it. But we couldn't. Man,
you can't. You can't.

Speaker 5 (23:37):
You can't out to be hobbling around and say you're like,
oh wait, this is like shooting.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Fish in a barrel and you can't run and you
running for and I was running for my life. But no,
I didn't. I didn't miss a lot of games.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Wait a minute, if you were out there, you felt
like you could do it, but you couldn't, and all
of a sudden, you're right.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
You turned around like, oh.

Speaker 5 (23:56):
My god, you're hitting the corner. You want to go
fast with their legs and hey, all right, you know better, man.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
You do it if you want hamstring, Like, oh.

Speaker 5 (24:08):
My god, And let me tell you something, Fred, They
are coming, Jack, They are coming because they know too,
they know too, right, Oh he.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
Ain't running right, Oh, we're gon we're gonna top on him.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
And and they can sense that early, right.

Speaker 5 (24:23):
Very early, because you know, but you know even now
they know injury reports. They're what the injury reports are. Uh,
if you have something bothering you, they're gonna try to
if they can, they'll try to go that their hit
that air, you got ribs, got.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
A shoulders, you got a hand hamstering. You can't run.

Speaker 5 (24:36):
They can't tell you just can't. You can't run as fast. Uh,
they'll they'll try to go with those areas. Wow, all right,
let's bring Vick back on.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Come on, Vick, come on, Vic.

Speaker 7 (24:51):
Talking about hamstrings the Eagles and Packers. If I may
read rates, they will lucky. There wasn't more injuries on
that football field. It was more dangerous than the back
alleys of South Powell.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Okay, Barkley, thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
I like that, And he set it up big time
noticing I like that.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
I like that the back alleys.

Speaker 7 (25:27):
Saquon Barkley was sparkling his Eagles debut three touchdowns, one
hundred and thirty totally odds. Did he ever do that
as a Giant when he was in New York. Yes,
once Eagles Pilford Pilford Saquan three years, thirty seven points,

(25:48):
seventy five million dollars from the hapless Giants, and they
left with Daniel Jones at quarterback. Like I've been saying
for years, I'd rather have Grace Jones at quarterback.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Ok. Yeah again, another good one, big, another good one.

Speaker 7 (26:04):
Thank you. D I mean, let's say so, the Giants'
front office is a mess. And to see Saquon Barkley
run wild in Brazil. You know Barkley is a beast.
He goes to one of your arts rivals in the division.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Who does that?

Speaker 7 (26:23):
Who trades a guy like Saquon Barkley to one of
your art rivals in your division? The Giants?

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Absolutely yew.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
But big, let me tell you. When I saw the game,
I saw a little bit. I saw the game. I
didn't at the end of it. I looked because I
didn't watch all the game. I just saw a few plays.
I looked at the paper. I didn't see who won.
I said, let me see that just one look at
the stats first. When I saw Saquon Park Barkley had
one hundred and thirty five thirty six shards. I said,
I bet they won, and sure enough that I say

(26:54):
that running game changes everything.

Speaker 7 (27:00):
Ended up opened it up. The running game is a revival.
Like you say, they had never left. But in the
in the in the hearts of men and women, with
all the hype that the running game was gone, you know,
the last ten years it's it's relevant and it's going
to be even more of a factor down you know,

(27:20):
as the season goes on, because you know, the old
line loves loves blocking for the run.

Speaker 5 (27:27):
No, they love it because they get a chance to
pound on a guy.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Because you.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
When you drive back in the past that you you
those guys are coming at you at the offensive line,
that the off of a sudden the offensive line gets
a chance to attack the defense. They're like, oh yeah,
let's attack them.

Speaker 7 (27:49):
Run blocking man, that's the essence.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Given in the NFL.

Speaker 7 (27:56):
He knows, Oh absolutely, you're kidding me, big.

Speaker 5 (28:00):
Big right, big nose. He's a run connoisseur. He's like
a John Robinson.

Speaker 7 (28:05):
I love the run. I loved ground and pound, and
everyone's gonna love the fat beats at Super Bowl fifty
nine because Kendrick Lamar will drop the verse. He's headlining
the halftime show in Nolans.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
He was Papa Yanni's kid. Lamar spent out of Compton
feeling Duke.

Speaker 7 (28:30):
A feeling you, k Lamar?

Speaker 1 (28:34):
When did you get that big?

Speaker 7 (28:37):
When we get hanging with with hanging with Kendrick before
Dodger game, he's a bit. He's a humongous Dodger fan,
humongous straight out of CPT. Let the fat beats roll
in Nolan's with.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Kay Lamar.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Impressive.

Speaker 7 (28:57):
Vict I was stoked to hear that Kendrick got the
gout the love for the head for the halftime headliner.
On the college football front, we touched upon usc Utah State. Wow.

(29:21):
Next up, Rodney can go into Michigan and beat the
defending championsh.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
I think sounded them.

Speaker 7 (29:30):
I say yes, Michigan is is is weak this year,
no more Harbor. They lost a quarterback. I definitely see
Troy coming into into Michigan. It wouldn't even be an
upset for me. It would not be an upset. Number
eleven se rolling into ann Auber. But the wackiest upset

(29:56):
had to be Northern Illinois the Huskies and they got
paid aid one point four million dollars to come to
South bend and beat the Irish. They got paid one
point four million dollars Northern Illinois.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Wait. Know that leads to Vic the source.

Speaker 7 (30:16):
Yes, just before we get to the source for a
sumo Day one from Tokyo. We're underway.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Why do you Bury? Don't do that again tomorrow. Let's
get this sumo off the top. Vic, not at the end.

Speaker 7 (30:29):
Okay, first football rules, but you know sumo is right
in the mix. Just a quick update, Taranafuji, the defending
champion out with a twisted knee and a case of
also diabetes, so he's in limbo. Tranafuji, I'll keep you posted.

September the ninth, with Eric Dickerson in the house, and
I'm putting up a winter Highku to cool everybody off.
