I would continue on Fred Rogan and Jason Smith and today for Rodney on a five seventy la sports. Yes, we will have spirituality on a very wet day. VIC will join us. VIC will wet our whistle and moisturize us with the haikup. Wow, that's okay, that's okay, imagery, Okay. Do we get a special rain hikup today? I don't know. I know it's been Native American heritage haiku month, I do know that, okay, all right? And you know some of them have come from a crazy
horse, right. I think Luther's standing bear jumped in with one this month. Correct. Of course, you can't forget the tribal elders. We had that, And that's what I was gonna say. Whenever he goes to the tribal elders or the ancient ones or whatever he makes up, I do not consider those authentic. And I don't care. I don't care what he says. Now he has been better, didn't We have? Somebody new yesterday?
It was a bear? What kind of bear was it? Ronnie? Because whatever the name of the guy was is an actual animal sun bear, sun bear. Yeah, and the sun bear is an actual animal. Right. So we had sun Bear yesterday. We'll see what he does today. Though I don't know if it was a talking sun Bear that actually did it or someone named Sunbear. I'm not one hundred percent sure. We can check in with talking bear is a pretty big deal. I mean, is it's Teddy
Ruxsman. I love Teddy Ruxman. Problem with Teddy Ruxman had always broke My Mom bought me four of those when I was a kid. Oh four, Mom, Teddy Rugsman's dead. All right, we'll get him another. Don't worry, We'll get another one. And the worst part, Jason, is when he will start making random noises in the middle of the night. You just started hearing all right. Look, and I'm like six years old, like, mama, help me, Mama, and the toys haunted started making
noise, random noises. No one pressed the button. Nothing. Why would you go through so many of them? I loved it. I thought the concept was great to read books to you and talk to you. It was great. But but why would you break them? Why would you I didn't do anything, fan, Why are you blaming me? Nothing? Fred Fred Kevin didn't have a lot of friends. The Bears friend him beet Rock. I'll go else back in the day in his in his high school at the
end under your picture where you think people, he thanked Teddy Rucksman. That was the only person, was it? There? You go, all right, Jason, So let's get started. Rams and Seattle Matthew Stafford should be ready to go. And this could be the season for them. This Sunday. It's the season for the Chargers and the Rams. How about that for a football week? Well, it's the season for the Chargers every Sunday. No, but it's a season for the Rams too. Because you just think
about this for a second. It's one thing to look and say, hey, we're right in the mix of things, right, Because if you're the Chargers, you're saying, okay, we're four and five. Were right in the mix. The teams in the playoffs now are five and five. For the Rams. Is the same kind of thing. You can say, Okay, we got to start winning here. We're three and six, but we we gotta we gotta win before it gets away from us. To get to the playoffs. In the NFL, it doesn't matter where you are. You
need to get to ten wins. You're getting in the play offs to ten wins, all right, Once in a while, could you get in at nine and eight? What? Yeah? Maybe once every few years a team squeaks in at nine and eight, But ten wins, ten and seven is what's gonna get you in the playoffs. And when you look at the Chargers and the Rams, you don't win this week, you're done because you're not getting to ten wins. Right. The Chargers aren't gonna go six and one
down the stretch. They're not gonna run six and one. The Rams aren't gonna go seven and h to get to ten and seven, right, So this is where you are in the one game or done type situation. So for both these teams, and for the Rams it's even more dire because they have one less win. Their season is this week and the Charge their season is this week. Because when you think about getting to ten and are you good enough to go on a run, no, right, there's a reason
you're four and five or three and six because you're not playing well. Suddenly just say okay, now we're gonna flip a switch and go and win six to seven in a row. It's not gonna happen. Everything is on the table for both of these teams this week. All right, so Matthew Stafford could be ready to go. They hope you will be able to play. The Rams have been so fascinating because if he doesn't get hurt. I have to tell you I thought they were a wild card team again, not to
toot my own horn. The only person that said at the beginning of the year, in this particular time period, they're going to be better than you think, and they have been. They've been better than you think. It all rests on Matthew Stafford and his right hand. Now, if he gets dinged, they're done anyway. Do you think if he's healthy they can beat Seattle. Oh yeah. Look I go back to the beginning of the year when you saw the arrival of Nikua and two two at Well in the absence
of Cooper Cup, and suddenly it was whoa. Also Atwell's going to catch fifteen passes a game, and at the or Niku is going to catch fifteen passes a game. And Atwell's like Deebo Samuel, they're going to use him with jet sweeps and throw deep. And when Cooper Cup comes back, you have everything you need. You have the possession guy a possession guy in more in Cooper Cup. You have the speed guy in Atwell, and this offense was gonna take off, and I kept waiting and waiting, and even when
Stafford was playing, it's not. The offense has just been so disappointing. And that's the big shocker to me. You know, the defense has been okay, but the offense they can't go They can't goin to lose games like this twenty to three. This is a much better offense than that. And yeah, Stafford being hurt, that did hurt it a little bit, but I really expected more, especially seeing that Stafford had chemistry with these three receivers
pretty easily out of the gate. Yeah, but you have the young offensive line and look, first, they've been healthier than last year. And honestly, Jason, I think they performed better than people thought they would. The offensive line performing better. Yeah, Oh, the offensive line's been better. And as you see with the injuries with running backs, doesn't matter because anybody
who put into the system runs well. Right he said, Oh well, Kyed Williams got it doesn't matter, right, Royce Freeman sitting on a kay come in you're doing, Daryl Henderson, He's gonna be fifty years old. They'll be calling Daryl Henderson to come and run and he'll he'll be fine. So obviously whatever running back you plug into the system does well. They're not missing anything. You know, yes, Stafford getting hurt and me being out
that with it, but they're not really missing. This hasn't been a year where, boy, they're dealing with struggles like the Jets losing their quarterback or the Browns losing their quarterback and they're starting running back like they did. So I don't get the big mystery. And this is where I look at and I go, man, this is where Sean McVay is supposed to come up with something. This is where he this is this is his this is his time, this is his baby, this is this is his sweet spot.
You got to fix this offense. You have a lot of talent there and it's underperforming and it shouldn't be. Okay, Now, to the Chargers, every week is a big week for them. Every week is critical for them, every single one they have the Packers, they should run all over them. But you know, then the question became because they're not out of it, but they can't afford to keep losing like this. You know, if
they go south here against Green Bay, do you hear whispers? Does Dean Spanos finally have to do something and say we got a cut bait, we gotta save our season, We got to try something and make a move with Brandon Staley. No, this is this is how the season will play out for all because Brandon Staley's name is at the top of every list of Hey, what what coach is gonna get fired next? Right? And a lot
of it's Staley's brought on himself some of the ridiculous fourth down decisions. He doesn't understand what kind of impact that has to guys in a locker room when you make those crazy ass decisions, it's like, do you got to you gotta explain these to people. You gotta tell hey, this is why we did this. But for the Chargers, how it'll go is this. They'll give Staley a chance to right the ship and make the playoffs this year because
right now it's kind of a long shot. Right if the Chargers were six and three, six and four, it's different, But now you're you're not even five hundred and what are what are they really gonna do? He'll get the chance to make the playoffs this year. If he makes the playoffs this year, Staley will stay. If they don't make the playoffs and it's a seven and ten type season, then there'll be a new head coach in next year, and it's gonna be an offensive head coach that's gonna come in to
get the most out of this offense. Which is kind of crazy because honestly, I'm not as down on the offense as I am on the defense. Like Herbert gets all the attention. You know, clearly he got paid. He's a terrific quarterback. But boy, they make mistakes down the stretch. It's very difficult. You know what, Herbert makes a better play seventy five percent of the time. All right, I mean this is not where hey at the end, it's like the end of every game, it's expected,
well, you gotta go win this game. That's not even Mahomes wins every game, right, that doesn't happen. But the defense has been bad. If the defense was a little bit and they have pieces, they have good players on this defense, it was broad and this is his this is Brandon Stanley's wheelhouse. The defense is supposed to be better and you're not in these situations every week where okay, go win this game at the end. See, I know the offense gets all the attention, but for me, it's
about the defense. And when the new coach that comes in at the end, which there will be as long as they don't make the playoffs, it's gonna be an offensive head coach that's gonna say we're gonna redo that. We're gonna have Justin Herbert turned into a thirty five touchdown a year guy, and we have the great weapons on offense and everything's gonna succeed and that's how we're gonna do it. So it's gonna be a weird way to build, but
that's how the season ends for the Chargers. Yeah, but you don't think there is a point. I mean if you think are seven and ten, Oh, but you don't think there's a point where you're looking at it right now and going all right, we're still alive. We gotta do something. Now, I'm saying, at what point is it terminal? At what point do you go we missed the opportunity and do they make a move before that
point? Oh, you missed the opportunity was three weeks ago. The opportunity was coming off one of the really bad games with a really bad fourth down decision where you lose a game you really shouldn't have. Because the Raiders did it two weeks ago, and what did they do? They potentially save their season. They said, Okay, no, no, we're gonna do it. We're gonna do it now. It's very difficult right at the deadline. Like if you were gonna make that move, it needed to be two or
three weeks ago. Now you're at the point where, okay, like I said, if you lose, your season's done, right, So it's like, what what's it gonna what's it gonna do? A coach is gonna come, you're gonna win a bunch of games in a row. You have to be a little bit more aggressive. And if you know you're gonna make a change, then you make the change when you have to. And that's what that what is something that teams fall victim to is that okay, uh,
we'll know when it's time to make a change. Well, sometimes making a change is okay, we don't want this season to go to waste. That that time was three three weeks ago, that was where you needed to do it. Before the deadline. This is where we want to make sure our season continues to go. When you're three and three and it's either way and you're disappointing, but you don't want it to get any worse, but you wait, and now you're under five hundred and it comes down to a win
or season's over. Kind of kind of deal. They waited too long. They waited too long. What's fascinating to me is before we kick this season off, if we're having the conversation, the two of us are probably saying, Chargers, yeah, oh yeah, hell, I could see them in the AMC Championship game. Rams, Wow. I mean, this is gonna be just awful, and they'll be if they lose enough to get their number
one pick. As it plays out, we're saying the Chargers, well, they're on the cusp of being done period after really lofty expectations, and the Rams, who people didn't give any chance to still have a shot in a wildcard. It just really fascinates me that that's kind of where these two teams are. But to be fair, and I love the people with the Chargers, so you know, I'm just being honest. They just can't seem to get over the hump. Tom Tellusco Has built pretty good rosters. They just
can't ugh get over that hump. And it's so incredibly frustrating to watch, Yeah, because they'll have two weeks where they'll look like world beaters and Eckler will have a big game and Herbert will have a big game, and the defense will get a couple of turnovers and they're dancing in the end zone and taking pictures like they were against the Jets, and it's boy, this Charger team is really focused and locked it and loaded. And then after two weeks
of playing great, you get two weeks of what was that? What? How do you get run over by a team that how do you get up two hundred yards rushing to a team that is the thirty first team ranked in the NFL and rushing? They just they just can't stay consistent. They don't have that mentality week to week to be consistent winners. And that's that's the big thing, and that comes down from leadership at the top. How do
you keep that mental edge? That's how you do it. And it's not like the Chargers aren't because the Chargers win games enough to tell you they're talented. It's not like, hey, we're we just score some points, but we're out of every game. Every game is forty five twenty eight. No, they show you they have enough. They just they just can't make it consistently. And it's just that little bit of a of a push to say, okay, we go from now winning two games and looking great to losing
two games or winning a game and then looking bad for two. This is this is a league where you got to win three four in a row, and you drop one, you get back to three in a row after that. I mean that that's how you win. You gotta be consistent, and they just can't figure that part of it out. And once they could figure that out, will be Okay. We need spirituality. We're gonna get big some time today to provide that spirituality. The high coup is next. Do
we get an extra storm Ranger high coup from VIC? Oh? Well that's for it? Okay, very good, all right, Jason smithing today for Rodney. When's the uh, when's the last time you travel Jason on a flight? Uh? Let's see Arizona earlier this year. Okay, you uh check your luggage, you're carried on? Oh carry on? I don't check it unless I absolutely have to. Yeah, I'm one of those carry on guys as well. Yeah you know, I mean just waiting for your luggage
is another forty minutes. I'll roll my stuff up as tight as possible, just get it all on my carry on. Okay. Are you ever concerned though, that when you're going through TSA and uh, you know the bag is going through the X ray machine, you're gonna get caught with something? Oh? Wow, No, maybe you are, No, okay, No, what I'm saying is you know if you have just too much shampoo? Oh? Oh, I thought you meant like, is there gonna be contraband
that I'm gonna try to sneak on the flight? Oh okay? Why do you stash your weed when you try to make it through TSA? There, Jason, Oh, I didn't know. I didn't know. You're good, I didn't know that was in there. I had no idea. I had no idea. Yeah ye as Britney Griner. Yeah not me. Whoa, whoa too soon? Too soon? Soon? All right? Too soon, too soon? All right? Anyway? So, uh, TSA can be a real pain. And if you go to certain airports at certain times it's
even more troubling. So what you have is thanks given coming up in the holidays. And the one thing I've learned, certain airports on certain days don't fly in those days because that's when they train TSA agents. You got to Phoenix on a Sunday afternoon, for example, you want to get out of Phoenix. You could be there two hours and there'll be like three people on line. It's like the TSA agent is looking at the X ray machine and
then checking everything in your back. It's a complete waste of time and it's really annoying. But there aren't things you can take on planes probably didn't think would pass with TSA. Do you know that you can take fake human skeleton bones on a flight and TSA will not flag you fake human skeleton bones?
H Okay? How do they know that it's fake unless they open up and look at it good points, So if they see the bones, maybe you killed somebody and you're just taking their bones with you, they probably wouldn't even check. I could just say it's fake and they would say, okay, great, have a good flight, sir, no, thank you. Yeah, you can take bones on a plane. Okay, did you know you can carry plants and trees on a plane as long as they fit in an
overhead bin or under your seat. You can take plants in trees. You will got like a like a bond Si tree, or I could take like a like a full palm tree that I want to plant and bring it on. Well, if you can fit it in the overhead bin, you can bring a live plant. Okay. Let's see. You can take toy or model lightsabers, right. You know sometimes those are mistaken for weapons as opposed to a real light saber. I want to see a real light saber. Well, okay, well that is a weapon. You can't that. I
want to see a real lightsaber. I want to see that get made. Yeah, I would not bring a stun gun. Let's see. You can transport antlers. You can transport antlers if you were a hunter. See now, every time I hear about antlers, I just picture some kind of crazy serial killer, true detective thing. And antlers now have a different meaning for you than they did when I was a kid. Yeah, and the thing is this, They're not going to stop you. You can bring live fish.
Okay, you can bring live fish on the plane. Can I bring water? But no, them cannot bring water, then how are the fish going to be live? That's a very good question you have answer. I mean, you're not letting me. You're not letting me get you. You're killing my fish. That's great. Now you can't bring water the fish supposed to? How do I bring a lot? Guess what? I won't have a live fish around in the aisle because that's gonna be what it is.
Just play yackaby sack, chaste of fish. What's going on? Balloons are all out on flights, but they must not be inflated. You can bring balls on flights, basketballs, football's back whatever. You can bring all kinds of balls on the flight. They'll go right through the X ray machine, no problem. What about a hoop because I want maybe I want to take some shots while I'm on the plane and just the balls. Okay, but you cannot bring things that could be used as weapons, like bowling pins and
baseball bats things like that. Can't antlers be used as a weapon if you really want it to look, I'm going by the official TSA rule. If I'm wearing the antlers as a hat and they say, sir, take your hat off so they could check under it like then I could put the antler hat back on. You could, but unless you pierce them with the antler hat, you took off your hat, you went out and stabbed me with your antlers. That it would be a weapon, that would be okay,
that's true. If you can't use it as a weapon, then you could bring it on the plane. So it's weird that you can't bring a switch plate on a blame, but you could bring antlers. That's something there doesn't equate for me. I know somebody that always carried this little knife ever, whether she went everywhere she went, and you know what, every time she go to a metal detective and say give me the knife, she must have like one hundred knives. Well, why would you carry a knife everywhere?
And why do you keep giving them up? Hey, it's tough out here in the streets. Fred, you never know, I hear you. I'm gonna lose it. But just in case, the let keep it. I have all that a knife. Oh there's one other thing. You're allowed to bring a roomba or any type of electric vacuum. You can bring that on the flight check. I know cl planes aren't always that clean. France are
just trying to help the crew out. I guess is that what it's just handled back in the aisle, the aisle, the feet up for the next ninety minutes, y'all. I mean there was a guy that did barfall over the aisle. Maybe that's why they're asking you to bring your room bas you mean there was a gut up. I'm sure that happened that like that happened once. It was it was recently though recently. It made pretty big news
recently in the last week or so. But they give you bags, they give you bags, and for this guy, well, not a very good passenger, I'm thankful to I've never been in one of those flights. I can imagine the smell. Oh my god, that is awful, and you're absolutely right, it is terrible. And when when there's a smell on a plane of somebody's smell, oh god. Which is why, by the way, the TSA doesn't let you bring on cooked fish. I just made that
up. I don't know if that's sure or not. Everybody on that flight will hate you, no, trust me, which is why TSA does not let you cook fish. Can't you bring filter fish? Sure you can, of course can't. But you can't bring it in water, and that's where you store it. So again I go back to the live fish. I can bring a live fish, but I can't have water. I don't make the rules, okay, Jason, I don't make the rules. I mean I just enforce them. We gotta call Karen Bass about this, cause she's
got nothing else to worry about. It sounds like a lawsuit. We have to you somebody for their fish drying out no water. My fish was alive and then it died somewhere somewhere between seat sixteen C and seventeen Dboy, he's all withered. Now. Look I found this. It says live fish are allowed and carry on baggage, and I didn check baggage. The fish must be kept in water in a transparent spill proof container. The container may be larger than three point four ounces. Okay, so you can we saw fish
is going to be visibly expected by at the airport security checkpoint. Wow, Karen Bass got back to you that fast. That's pretty good you speak. And she gets tried on and Jason for the last thing. Like Bass, he takes the fish very seriously. So hey, let's reopen the ten freeway. How about that. Let's reopen the tent. Reopen the ten, reopen the ten. Real priorities, Jason, please, all right, gotta do it the fish first. All right, well, let's let's have some spirituality.
Let's let's move on. And to provide that spirituality, there's only one man. That's Victor break with the daily haikup and Vic, good afternoon. He's mister Alexander Valley, always seeking a good Cabernet savagnol and oh Fred Rogan, Thank you, Vic. If it's free, twenty dollars, it was twenty dollars. That seems a pretty good deal to me. Twenty dollars. He's in for Rodney and his takes are as smooth as Napa Valley and Jason Smith. Come on now, I think he should be ashamed of himself.
His veneyards always ripe with content. Come on, I'm not a racist, and his musica always a rich bouquet full body. He swirls around their hits, hitting all the right citrus notes. Roddy Fossio, give me a double king flavor that is like the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You guys touched upon it earlier. Humongous rivalry game for Chip Kelly. So many reports swirling that win or lose, that Kelly isn't deep deep Kimchi. Why would Kelly
be in kimchi losing his gig deep trouble? Now, I know what that means, Vic, But why would he be in a Korean delicacy? Have you ever eaten kim Chief Red? I have you know what effect it has in your stomach? Tell you what? You'll be able to breathe like you've never breathed before. You might just have to make a couple of runs to the John two, is what I'm saying. I'll clean you out. Yeah at kimchi, take your pep doove. Yes, you know kim chi is, Jason. Yes, are you allowed to bring it on a plane?
Oh? God, hope not, Spicy Cabin. That is a federal crime if you do that. Kim Chi in the winter is a sensational antidote for colds. It breaks down a lot of a lot of germs. It's a tremendous food. Kim Chi. Yes, I've enjoyed kim chie Vick. Well, you've traveled South Korea? I have the Olympics. No, yes that they told me, don't get off the sidewalk, and you almost got thrown in North Korean jail. Fred. Yeah, well no, I was South Korea. He almost got shot, as always got shot. Yeah, don't
get off the sidewalk. Whatever you do, stay on the sidewalk. Do not get off the sidewalk. I just want to shake his hand. Don't whatever you do, stay right here on the sidewalk. Is that okay? I took three steps on the grass. Let me tell you what. Those trees weren't trees. They were real human beings with guns. Don't get off the sidewalk meant, don't get off the sidewalk. Should have just told them you were the Dean, Fred. They wouldn't have listened to me. Get
a pass anywhere they know. It wouldn't have worked. I'm the dean. I bet you if you had storm ranger, you could have driven right past everybody. Yeah, that would have worked. We got to take them out. I've never seen that. You know, you see it in movies and stuff, or if you've been in the military, you understand camouflage. Oh, look at all the trees. The trees aren't trees. They're real people, and they all have guns. And now they're standing in front of me.
Never saw that before. I'm Fred Rogan. I'm on the news every night at eleven. You can't do this to me. Imagine Brad full On that. Do you know who I am? Card in South Korea? Yeah, who's gonna tell you? For Lebron James is questionable or not? You see this peacock. You know who I am? Yeah, I'm you know who I am. I'm a guy to get off the sidewalk, That's who I was. Fritz pay the ransom, would do it at my house? Went to this to Bob Costas. Dammit, No, they'd let him walking,
Sure they would. Yeah, in my guest house. Here's the combination. Get the money, Fritz, get it in fast big. It's rivalry week. Yeah, yeah, that's right, and people are going wild. No one's going wild, vic, No one's even talking about But it's true. The buzz is at an all time low. Yes, but for Chip Kelly, the sticks are high and it's it's interesting when you go over chips
record six years. You're head coach in Westwood at thirty three and thirty three, when you had other coaches before before hip, I mean Jimmy Moore Junior was forty five and thirty before he was let go. I liked him kind of war on people. Yeah, didn't win enough to justify his antics. Ees, Vic would say, And Carl Durell was thirty five and twenty seven
is a UCLA head coach? Yeah, he's like he's like the forgotten stooge, like shimp, you forgot he was the coach there, more forgettable his than at UCLA or at Colorado. Did you even know he was the head coach of Colorado? I did. I just blocked it out. I'll be honest. When he first got the job, I had a tough time identifying like because he was so anonymous. Like walking, he wasn't like standing up and yelled like, which is the head coach is? He's walking to the
side, he's in the back. He's thought, where's the head coach? I can't find him on the sideline. He didn't like to get upset. Well, what gets me crazy is it's not so much the wins and losses, although it is the wins and losses, but it's it's all about the NIL and bruined donors according to you know, the swirling reports withholding donations to the NIL because of the you know the football is so boring and the Rose
Bowl is so empty? Well, both are true. Well the nil, I mean, who knew the nil would be the heart and soul of college football? Every player the minute they announced it was happening. That wasn't even gonna be an issue. Vick, Who's got the most money to pay? That would be the heart and soul of it. Nobody's going to these schools because my dad went to Florida State, and damn it, I'm going to oh Florida offering more money. All right, Dad, I'm going to Florida.
Well, Jay Smith, are you satiated with the chip Kelly Era? Are you satiated with seven wins? I'm very satiated. UCLA has become a mid power five program, right. I get that. We have images of UCLA from the nineties and early two thousands where every Gary beeB been going back to nineteen sixty seven, where the image of hey Rose Bowl every other year, beating USC every other year, being a top ten team. That's not
the way it is anymore. That's how college football has changed. I've been bypassed by Oregon and Washington and they're a nice mid power five program that has la as a selling point. Eight win seasons are pretty good, and that's what Chip Kelly's done the last couple of years. This could be another eight win season. Eight win seasons are pretty good, especially when you're jumping to the Big ten now and you're gonna be playing Michigan and Ohio State and Penn
State every year. Uh, this is not a change I would make because to think that suddenly Chip Kelly to go to somebody else is gonna be Oh, we're gonna get to eleven wins. That ain't happening. Man, those good times are over. Understand that I want everybody to reach for the stars and and and and and get all kinds of leadership they want and and realize their dreams. But sometimes you gotta realize that, Okay, living right here is pretty good, and UCLA is a mid power five football program, and
eight wins is a good year every year. Then you're just embracing mediocrity. A little bit more than mediocrity. I'm embracing being above average. A shlocky A shlocky Bowl is okay for you, Yeah, you go, you go seven and five. Okay, let's say you see Lay loses, he loses to SCA Saturday, and then they beat Cal. Okay, they go seven to five, they go to a shlock Bowl, and you're okay with that? Yeah, three years, three years of seven eight nine wins and three
bowl games. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. That's going to continue to build a program. He's been to one bowl game. He lost. They lost to Pittsburgh. Okay, I mean this, this is not a This is not a football program. That's that's rolling, that's that's electric, that's bringing people, you know, into into into the arroyo seko, you know, to watch an exciting team. So I understand, you know, the discontent. I mean, this is this is crazy already, this is
u c l A football. It's still sensational place to play, sensational facility, sensational fans. I will not accept seven and five and and go and go to some you know, schlock schlocky bowl. It's you. You should not embrace that an attitude. How it come out of darkness? I know I want come out of the darkness too, but I don't know how it.
I just don't think it gets better unless UCLA says, suddenly, now we're gonna put all kinds of resources that all the other schools are putting into their football programs with incredible amounts of money that are in the hundreds of millions of dollars. This is what it should be. This, this is what it is. You know, they would have had a bowl in twenty twenty one, but the whole COVID thing and they were gonna they were gonna play
North Carolina State. So you're talking about three straight years of bowls. Technically, I think that's pretty good. Well, why were we weak? I'm still pumped. No, we hear you think we know? Jason, you like that. I love that. I forget that you do that every day. I forget. I forget that that's how it goes every day. You just started laughing. Yeah, good, I just forget that's how it goes. Well, we know, all right, they will continue when we come
back. Jason smith'sen today for Rodney and when the midst o our spiritual and Vic's musings about this week's rivalry game, and let's rejoin Vic now for the haiku. Vic And it does rain in southern California. Ronnie, everybody drives safely out there, take your time, take an extra few minutes. Get there. Safely. That is the key. It is rivalry week. But watching the Lakers last night, are you like me? Are you like me? Probably not? That team was on fire. I mean that was the
Lakers that Polenka envisioned when he put this team together. I mean seven Lakers and double figures. Hachimra twenty three. Rui's playing some really nice ball the last week, you know, coming back from the from the injury. Anthony Davis, you know, he he changed his hair and since he got towards you know, a semi fro, he's playing a lot better. And I think that the team is reacting. Waits seven five now. I love his
look. I love Anthony Davis's look. Just a tremendous run against the Grizzlies when they when you, when you crushed by twenty seven, and you tire franchise record with sixty six percent from from the from the tray, from the from the arc the trayumph, Are you kidding me? Twenty two of them, sixty three percent from the land of land of the uh the three, which is the pure land, which is where every NBA player goes. I mean, that was just a monumental run. But Davis nineteen eleven and six
blocks. When you have when he has that kind of game and everyone else is producing around Ad, the team is tough to beat. Do you Russ with sensational at twenty four points? Six trays Austin Reeves sixteen, twelve and seven loving Austin Reeves's game. Now, this is this is a fun team to watch, Yes, but can they go back to back to night Sacramento's rough? Anything else from the box score you want to share, Vic, That's about it? Okay? But the box the box speaks volumes, Fred,
Yes, I've heard that growing up. The speaks volumes. Yes. The clip you know you touched upon the Clippers as six in a row this game funk? Yeah, oh and five with the beard. But it was hard in his best run as a Clipper last night, and they were they were screwed by the refs. I'm with thirteen man PG at thirty five. He should have had like fifty. That was a tough run in Denver. You know what Nick Cronin says, saying the refs screwed you is for losers.
Buddy, Are you calling Paul George a loser? No, just saying don't blame the refs. If you blow them up by thirty points, you don't have to blame the refs. Do you think they played? I thought the Clippers played well. They lost by three to the defending champs in their in their house, in the in the in the house of the Nuggets. That was a nice, a nice run. So the Clippers are going to get there. I know you have confidence in them, Fred I do.
How about Golden State thug Raymond Green with that vicious headlock on the Rudy Gobert. I thought it was a solid move. Wow. How many games will he be suspended for that? I mean that was that was You talk egregious, You talk blatant. Well there is Raymond Green headlock. Little little history there with Raymond a little bit. Also, want to congratulate the Rams going to Woodland Hills moving their training camp from kow lou beginning what next year?
Yep, corner West ox Nod and Canoga. Yeah, where the promenade was. You know who used to work at the adjoining mall growing up woo Kevin Demoff, the Ram chief operating officer. He used to work with the hot dog on a stick, so he knows the area. Yes, that's a big move for the Rams. So congratulations on Ronnie asked a very important question. Was Kevin working the lemonade the giant lemonade churn at the hot dog on a stick? You know that seasoft thing that they do back and forth there
making that fancy lemonade? Vic exatly rough. I gotta have some real muscle for that. You should get Kevin on the show, Frett and ask him about that. We can. Yeah, he's bigger than you think. Kevin always a small guy at all. But no, man, you know where that lead Just to Vic always the high cup for you. Yes, as we celebrate Native American heritage a month, Yeah, it better than me from the elder tribesman or the uh secret ancient ones. It's got to be a
person, Vic, This is some chief. Young Joseph Oh also known as Joseph the Younger. Isn't that a rapper? Thought it was a movie, Mighty Joe Young. He was a leader of the wallam Watkane band of the Nez Pierce Native American tribe of the Pacific Northwest. All right, so Joseph, his name was Young Joseph, but then he was elevated to chief, so he became Chief Young Joseph, and then they called hi, Mighty Joe. But he had to be older to become a chief. I don't think
you've become a chief very young. You have to be older to be a chief. So maybe he was older Joe, Chief, Older Joe, Chief, older Joe Joseph, Chief young Joseph. Okay, Chief, Young Joseph. This high coup for you on this Wednesday, November fifteenth, as we celebrate Native American Heritage Month. It does not require many words to speak the truth a feeling you, Chief, Young Joseph. Okay. I don't think the chief put a lot of thought too. That one vic to be honest
with you doesn't seem pretty cut and dried to me. Probably don't take many worse to lie either. What me? There you go, so simple yet beautiful, simple words yet beautiful words. All right, Ronnie, thank you, Kevin outstanding? And Jason, what do you say? Would do it again? Tomorrow? Sounds good? Storm Ranger Part two, that's see tomorrow
