Just download free iHeartRadio app. Okay, Dodger fans, how you feeling.
How you feeling right now? Let's check it out. Let's see where we're at. We're three games up on the padres, four games up on the Diamondbacks. How do you feel right now? Because I know you didn't think it'd be this way. You thought they'd mow everybody down. Also, Glass now goes back on the I l Freddy finger. He's got Freddie finger. Freddie Freeman's got the finger.
Freddy Fingers.
What do we in the ping Pong's that movie Freddy Fingers? Ping pong movie with somebody?
I mean it was crazy crazy dodgeball, Yes, yes, yes, Freddy Fingers. It was about Todd Green movie Terry Crews.
With Freddy Fingers. It was a great ping pong player in a tournament. Got all right, Well, you know Freddy's got his finger, and we'll find out about that.
So we'll find out. I'll find out.
Good, you find out. You can find out, Yes, I can, so please find that out. Three games up on the padres, four games up on Arizona. Uh, Dodger fans, how you feeling right now? Are you concerned at all? Honestly? Are you concerned? I think this is very good for them. It's a bit mind numbing and nail biting, but I think it's good for him. I like that they have to fight this year because we've seen what happens when they don't. Granted you don't need this litany of injuries,
but they're battling through it, they're dealing with it. And in that regard, Rodney, I think this is as painful as it can be at times, not a bad thing.
What do you think painful? Why is it painful? Balls of Fury is what it was called.
By the way the movie. Uh yeah, Well it depends if it's painful. If you if you did like you mentioned, if if fans were out there thinking this was gonna be a runaway and mowing them down and Dodgers gonna just run away with the World Series, which a lot of people believe. Soon does they signed show hal Tani it is like this World Series, it's an easy win. Just book it, bet it, do all the things. Now you still got to play. You still got to play.
And I think you know now more than ever. Baseball when it comes to parody, is as good as any league. And you can go from worse to first in a heartbeat. Uh, in this league. And so to simply just think, because Otani is on the Dodgers that they were just gonna be twenty games up in the division and and roll through the playoffs and roll through the World Series.
Not gonna happen. Not gonna happen.
He's one guy, and he can hit eighty home runs right and have the best year ever of any individual players. But if the rest of the team is not there, or they suffer a number of injuries like they have, then you're not gonna win the World Series. One guy can't do it in a team sport. If he was playing tennis, then you know, yeah, you can put your money on Otani. But but right now, it's a team sport and you need it. You need pitching, you need catching, you need guys to hit in front of and behind
sho Heyo Tani. So there's no foregone conclusion. But if you if that was your mindset, then yeah, you're disappointed. If you were realistic that this is a long season and baseball is competitive as it's ever been, then you're happy that the Dodgers are still in first place, but you know that it's gonna be competitive.
Yeah.
You always said when you were playing at USC you didn't want any gimmes, you didn't want any layups. You enjoyed it when it was difficult, isn't that right?
Yeah?
It made us fight, It made us You mean, I don't want the game to be over in the first quarter. I mean, you know, when you're in it, Yeah, those are those are fun times because you're blowing somebody out and you get you know, your some of your buddies that are backups, get to go play extensive periods of time. But for the most part, you want to be challenged.
You want to be challenged all the way through, and you have to make, you know, play your best to win because that makes you better in the long run, and it makes you better at the end of the season. So if you have cake walks all the way through and then all of a sudden you're throwing up against a team that's pretty good or is just as good as you, it's tough to turn it back on. So you want it to be in a lot of ways. It's good to be in a dog fight down the stretch.
You know, even with this dog fight, they are seventy three and fifty two, The Phillies are seventy three and fifty one. The Brewers are seventy two and fifty two. By the way, after what we saw in Milwaukee. I think the Dodgers can beat the Brewers. Granted the Brewers got a couple, but that was an implosion of the bullpen. I think the Dodgers can beat the Brewers. I think it's fine. I really do.
Yeah.
And that's what people forget, I think is that that's not if they if not the best record, second best record in the National League, right they're right behind the Phillies. Yeah, and then they're right behind the best record in baseball as well. So it's not like they with all the injuries and all the things they've gone through, they're still at the top of Major League Baseball in terms of
winning best record. And so that has to say a lot about the you know about this team, because perception is that there's like ten teams better than the Dodgers right now, the way they're playing, like that have better records, and that's not the case. No, And that's my point, Rochnie. If you look at That's why I started by saying,
how you feeling Dodger fans? Right the perception is, oh god, I mean, this has turning out to be a pretty disappointing year because you have all of these players and they spent all this money and you should be running over everybody. Truth of the matter is they've been so banged up and dinged up all year. No matter who they have on the roster, they probably shouldn't be where they're at. They probably should not be right in it
like this. I have to tell you, if you look at a series of injuries on any other ball club, I mean, and there have been multiple numerous long term injuries on this team, they wouldn't be where they're at. They wouldn't have the same russ A Dodger. No other team would be where they at. That team if you had a team pitching staff hit like this, stars like major stars on their roster, hit like this with injuries,
you know, there you call it what you want. One A one A one Moki Bett's been out for a month over a month out and then again your pitching staff and then other guys. You don't have your your thirty five home run third baseman, that's that's not been in the line up all season long. You can't tell me that you're gonna still be in first place. Not many teams would be. Not many things would be. So you know, I know, we live in a luxury out
here with the Dodgers, and I know it. You know, for fans, it doesn't matter until you get to October, which is you know again, why are we talking about regular season for it?
Because it doesn't matter.
Actually doesn't just get to the playoffs. Yeah, actually I would seriously. I mean, that's why last now we talked about it in hour one. That's why he said to him, Look, I feel something in my arm. I can go, but I need to let you guys know that because I'll go out there and pitch. I'm not saying I don't want to go, but at least you should know. And then when thank you for telling us you're not going anywhere, we're putting you on the injured list, immediately let that
arm rest. We can't risk what's coming down the road. I respect that. I respect that decision on his part. I'll tell you something else. I don't know about Freddie finger Freeman, but however it goes, don't push it. We're fine. Don't push it because he'll play, you know, and he had a broken leg and he'd play.
He doesn't care.
So we'll see how that MRI or that cat scan goes today on his finger and if you don't have it before too, maybe David Vasse will. All right, Dodger fans eight six six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy, we're not playing the panic meter game here. How do you feel? I mean, you're with this team every day, listen to the radio show all the time. You know the Dodgers are top of mind in the market. So
how do you feel right now? Do you have concerns or can you look at it and go I can't even believe they're in first place.
I can't even.
Believe where they're at. It is pretty remarkable. So give us a call eight six six, and then I'm going to read the prisoner letter. I'm doing it this song. Yes, yes, reading the letter. So Dodger fans, give us a call. Then we'll get to the letter. It's a beautiful, beautiful Southern California Monday that it is Roddy Pete, Fred Rogan. I gotta say this, Fred, Rest in peace to my good friend mister Phil Donahue.
Who passed away. Yeah, yeah, Phil Donahue.
I got to know him Fred, like in the last well, I've known it for a while, but I got to really know him in the last five years hurt him and Marvel Thomas and U spent spent some time with him at dinner with him a few times, and uh, just a good man passed away. So you know, prayers and thoughts and everything to tomorrow and all of the Donahue clan and their families. So Phil Donahue was eighty eight yep. And if you're a certain generation you know this,
and if you're not, you don't. But this will take you back a few years before Oprah Winfrey. There was one afternoon daytime talk show that killed it basically, that dominated, and that was Phil Donahue.
It was.
Right, absolutely, it was topic driven. But what he would do is he would have callers call the TV show is the caller there? And they got to ask questions, right, They got to ask questions of the of the guests, and the audience asked questions as well. And it was so incredibly dominant. And if you had Phil Donna Hue on your station in the afternoon, yeah you won. The numbers were enormous. And all of a sudden, this woman on a Baltimore somebody says, you know, she's pretty good.
She's in Baltimore, Baltimore. I said, Yeah, people really like her there. Yeah, she's a local girl, a local girl. Yeah, let's see what happens. That was Oprah Winfrey. And that then because Phil Donnie who had dominated for so many years, and he endorsed Oprah.
Yeah.
Oh, he was such a good guy. Yeah, he embraced her, endorsed her as coming on. And she credits a lot, a lot of her success to being accepted by Phil Donnie Donahue and what he was able to like first of all, pioneering that whole genre of TV right, but also opening the door for her her and endorsing her at a time where look, male driven, male dominated. And then there's a woman out of Baltimore, as you mentioned, not only a woman, but a black woman out of
Baltimore that they're gonna give this shot to. And Oprah took it and ran with it. But yeah, she uh, she credits him for just giving her that endorsement because without that, you know, who knows where her career would have gone.
Yeah.
And and let me add this, a black woman out of Baltimore that in the day didn't really look like anybody that would get a TV show. Yes, right, yes, yes, you know what I mean.
Oprah was heavy.
Yeah, it wasn't the uh let's get this, uh you know, fitness model type, this pageant winner type, that's uh you know this this weather girl type looks and and we can just put her on and it'll be great visuals and and then she'll do well.
Now, she was different than that. Absolutely.
She was the ordinary, everyday woman for people, and she killed it. And I think, not to belabor it, but I actually think that changed the trajectory of television. When Oprah Winfrey became the star people thought you would be. That changed the entire game. No longer did you have to look like that fitness model right, right. It was more who you were and what you projected and a warmth and a relatability.
Yeah.
It became about substance, right, Yeah, which from a male standpoint, it was about substance, right, Because those those shows that Donahue did back in the day, I mean he did everything from you know, from entertainment to sports to political memory had he had the white supremacist on one time, he had Nazis on, He had you know, political enemies
going at it back and forth on the show. And then like you mentioned, he had callers, callers call into the show and the audience members asking questions of the guests, and it uh yeah, no, he changed it, and then Oprah took it to a whole different level. Yeah, rest in peace. All right, Let's let's find out how Dodger fans are feeling. Frank and look presenta thank you for holding on. Uh, when you really look at this season to this point, what do you think?
Well?
I think that in the pitching stuff is pretty amazing, even with all of us.
Guy is Mookie Bett?
Yeah, yeah, you know what.
I think Frank's got a bad connection, right, let him all right, let's go to Tarzana, Ken and Tarzana, how do you feel.
With all the injuries we've had. I feel just fine. And I agree with you guys in terms of, uh, the lack of urgency the Dodgers have had in most of the previous postseasons. I'd like to see a little bit more fighting this year. I like the fact that we're kind of in a race and it's close. If you look at baseball playoffs compared to other sports, it's just much more of a crap shoot. There's one hundred and sixty two games, of course, but to win the
World series, it's only eleven or thirteen. St're talking maybe seven to eight percent. Compare that to the NBA and AHL you got up in sixteen or eighty two, NFL three or four versus seventeen. So you're not really getting a good sample size if you want to go through all the Hall of famers, look at May's Morgan's Bonds had a great series in two thousand and two the Into, but before that he did nothing. You go all the way back to Ty Cobb.
All right, Robinson, Ken, I don't think you have to go back to Ty Cobb.
Ken.
I think we're good. I don't I think when we hit Ty Cobb, I think it your point.
Yeah, oh, thanks for a call. But you here what you appreciate it? It is it is. It is a you know, he's ad.
It's a crapshoot when you get to the playoffs in baseball because it's a team that that really gets hot. In basketball, in the seven game series, the better team is usually gonna win, you know. And but in baseball, you know, a hot team with the hot pitcher or tot two pitchers, as Arizona showed last year with a hot leadoff hitter and Carol, it could take you all the way to the World Series, so anything can happen. You just got to be playing your good baseball in October.
Chris and Diamond Bar, how are you feeling good? Ford?
Hey, Rodney, how you guys doing good? I'm concerned one being a student take a holder. I'm concerned because you know what, we got all these great players on our team. We have all stars, but our bullpen's being overworked and are we really getting the right matchups? But Rodney, you can probably attest to as being the athlete that you were when you play great teams, the great players, you got to step up your game and I think the
Padres in Arizona are just doing that. They're stepping up their game to match the Dodgers, to push us to be even better. But the problem is is with our bullpen overworks, with Joe Kelly sca gatterall going back on the DL, you know what do we do? So am I concerned? Yes, But at the end of the day, it's a marathon, not a sprint. I think we're gonna come out on top. But I agree with you guys as just you know, we got to cross our fingers
and hope we do what's right. But I like cup check it back as a closer, right, but I think we need to get Phillips and the Hutson the break. But I just think that Arizona and everybody's stepping up their games to push us to be better.
All right, Chris, appreciate it. Thanks for calling.
Yeah, thanks for calling, Chris.
Youah, No, he's absolutely right that you know, no matter what happened last year and the Diamondbacks making it to the World Series and beating the Dodgers, everybody still looks at the Dodgers as the cream of the crop. They still look at the Dodgers as a team to be And we say it all the time. Fret, when the Dodgers play somebody, they're going to get their best. When Dodgers play the Padres, they better be ready to play because the Padre is gonna play their best.
And the same thing with the Diamondbacks.
They're gonna get everybody's best because everybody wants to knock off the Dodgers, And so you have to be ready to play. If your Dodgers, even if you beat somebody twelve out of thirteen times during the regular season, you get them in the playoffs. The Padres make the playoffs, it's gonna be a dog fight, especially going back down there to San Diego to play. It's gonna be a dog fight in Arizona to play the Diamondbacks if they
meet him in the end of the playoffs. So it's because they're the Dodgers and they wear the blue that everybody gets ready for you. All right, well here he comes. Let's bring out Mitch.
Rich Are you there, Yes, how do you guys doing?
All right? Hold on, hold on, Mitch stop, stop, Mitch stop. It's so I read did you send out a tweet that you were banned from all shows or something? Did you send that tweet out?
See, that was me. I'll be on the sun.
That was me.
That's the feeling like it. I don't know, I guess we wait a minute. Feeling what wait?
Wait, you said you've been banned from all shows.
It feels like that was that right?
No, you said you weren't. I know.
Look, yeah, that comes from my head.
Who comes from your head? You said it comes from your head? Mitch is in your head?
That that's just my that's my good feeling.
Well, what do you mean, who's banned?
You, and I'd like to know who banned you from all and I don't think you were just talking about us. I think you said all shows. Who's banned you?
It seems like Dave Dave.
Banned you because he said Mitch your band? Did he say Mitch your banned?
No?
But if you don't answer a tweeter or a call, I don't, I won't. I guess I shouldn't call it once a week. That's too much.
How much do you call? How much do you call?
I have? I'm I'm jailsy, I donnan here you am? I don't think called a lot? You're right? And I used to be Tarzana when I looked there for two years and the eighties there wasn't even sports on sports radio in those days?
We or do we not keep get you on as much as we can't? You're on more than anybody else.
What are we talking about? Dave and Tim are right? I give I should give other people a chance. Then I hope, just you know, hope you don't retire soon. I don't want I don't want that. Anything's comming to everybody, right, I don't want you guys to retire.
Mitch, Wait, what I don't even know what he said.
Who's retiring?
Who's retiring?
Mitch?
I think you guys ann retire soon?
I mean, why why are we retiring soon?
I thought, Fred, you retired already from NBC.
Mitch, we have contracts.
How are we going to retire? We're never retiring.
Oh that's good news. Then that's good.
Why would you why Mitch stop? First of all, you said you used to call back in the eighties when there was no sports radio. So what would you do and discriminately call people because there was no sports radio? But you said you called. Now you've decided. Wait, now you've decided that we're retiring. Where did you hear that?
Mitche?
Again, My main intuition is it gets is off again.
Your your intuition was a you were banned and b Rodney and I are retiring. Was that your intuition?
Yeah? Some, especially if Paul one. Yes, yes, Mitch, why would you think those things in the eighties? But I didn't say it was a sports radio.
No, I understand, Mitch, But why with those things? What else is your intuition that maybe we should know about, because you must have a lot of thoughts in your head. One you're not banned. Two we're not.
Is anybody else retiring besides us?
By the way, I don't think so. I think Sam I still busy. He love his work. I guess if you love you, I guess if you love you work. You know, in a way I wish I would.
I would still at work.
I think I got more done. I had more every time. My grandson, the terrible who he's a handful, Mitch.
What are you talking about?
Who would ban this guy?
Why are you telling us about your grandson who's a handful?
What?
I love him? He's great, Mitch.
We know, we know you love your grandson. But what does that have to do with what we're talking about? What the how in the world does that even enter into the conversation that your grandson.
Because I mentioned that I sometimes I wish i'd stay working. Maybe I retired to young I'm sixty two. Wait a minute, I should Okay, So now we get these because I were cool, I will all support you guys, all right in truck.
When did you When did you retire? Mitch?
February twenty ninth this year. Yeah, it's been it's been good.
Okay.
So what you were saying is because you're retired. You thought we would retire too, that's what you That's that was your thinking. Now I can kind of piece it together. You're retired, yes.
Because you guys have worked hard, and now I see you know, and then maybe I'm looking at it back. It was as easy athed X, but I missed most of the customers coworkers. I figure you guys want to do that, so you probably travel more. I'm a chicken to go on nairplane.
Mitch.
Okay, that listen, Mitch.
Here's the thing.
I think you're dealing with issues over the fact that you're retired and now you're looking back and thinking you shouldn't have retired. Do you think that could be it?
Mitch A little bit. But I enjoyed talking to you guys.
And okay, but but Mitch, you've talked to us, trust me, Mitch. When you were delivering for fat Ass, you talk to us. Now you're talking to us now.
Just because you don't work.
Yeah, I mean, just because you don't work for fat X doesn't mean you can't talk to us. And if you don't talk to us, that doesn't mean we should retire like you did.
Right, Well, you're right, but look at this way. When I was retiring, I had to make sure that when I was dealing with people were driving, I was even pull over and that with the customers, because that will look a little silly. I know, I know everybody. Everybody gives me the role eyes When I told her my sports talk love, you know what I'm saying. I know, I know what it's saying.
Now, why are people why?
Why people? Why are people giving me a role lives?
Mitch?
Those are my friends, my co workers.
All right, Okay, Phil Donna, you didn't die for this interview today.
I don't know about this guy.
Really, Adam, Adam.
That was awful.
Yeah, you know, Mitch, Adam can't wait till you call Clippers.
Talk easy, Roddie, do you call clippers talk?
Mich Well, you sound like Adam Alan. I'm sorry, it.
Is Adam Auslin, Mitch, Adam is Adam Austlin.
You Ali guys, Troy, guys. We'll get the same accents.
No we don't, Mitch, No, that's not true. Everyone does not have the same accent, Mitch. Do Ronde and I sound a lot? Do we speak the exact same way?
You sound like Adam?
Adam and Ron not you fair and ronle bit, but maybe he's got you got a little bit, brother.
Yeah, that's right. Do you call me Ron? Right?
Listen, I didn't.
We're close like that, right, Mitch, close like that?
You and I? Right?
Did we cut the cord?
Se tweets?
Okay?
You see who you're seeing? Whose tweets you've seen? Who? Yeah? Who's tweet tweets? Ron? Sweet?
Now he didn't tweet. Maybe you're not working all right, social media? We understand, all right, we're not working.
Fred.
You fed this cat.
Listen, we'll make thanks for calling. You gave him the warm milk.
Hey, Fred, do you think maybe Mitch can write you a letter like that guy from prison?
Did? That's coming up?
But see I only brought it up because granted and afford to me, there's some people that listen to the show every day. No, Mitch calls more than frequently. Yes, and and sometimes he gets on and sometimes he does it.
He's still on old Fred. He's not to hang up, Yeah he is. No, he's not to say hi, Mitch. We could be in the final segment. Miss is still waiting and hey, why.
Are you still there? Mit?
Go well he's still on hold.
We had to hang up on him.
Fred, Oh my god, So yeah, we don't you put him on all the time, but we don't put everybody on all the time.
Oh god, he's calling back.
No he's not. No, he's not, is he really?
No?
So anyway, we saw I saw this tweet and Mitch said he'd been banned from all shows and Rodney, have we ever banned him?
No? No, So you were like, what what is this about?
And he happened to call today, so I thought we should address it with him.
Now.
I didn't know he'd retired and he has a grandson of the Terrible twos. I didn't know any of that. And people used to roll his eyes at him because he loved sports talk radio or back in the eighties when he lived in Tarzana there was no sports talk radio. But apparently he called somebody. I don't know who he was calling. Okay, Mitch can't say he wasn't on today, Rodney, he can't. All right, he was, all right, My letter
from prison is next, Rodney. For those folks that don't know, over a week ago, I think it was over a week ago, I told you the story about the prisoner. Yes, now a prisoner in jail in Banning.
Where's the prisoner supposed to be.
Well, he didn't have to be in Banning. He could have been anywhere, but he was in jail, in prison and Banning.
Okay, all right. So somehow he gets my phone number.
And he starts calling me, and we talked about the fact that when the first call came in, I didn't answer it, and I was very confused, and then they said you had to open an account, and we wondered if it was real, if somebody was really calling from prison. So I didn't answer. I actually played it on the air and everybody confirmed, yes, if someone calls you from jail or prison, that's what it sounds like. Okay. So then not that night, but the following night, the same
number comes in. I answer it and it's this guy and he starts telling me this list of grievances he has, so actually talked to him physically, talk to him. Yeah, he got your number, he got your number and he called you. Yes, he came through, Yes, and you answered it finally, Right, you recognize a number because you checked it and people said, yeah, to legit, it's coming from jail, so you right, you knew it when you answered it,
you knew it was coming from jail. Well, to me, it looked like a number that I had seen, and then I realized it was the jail number. So I talked to the guy and he starts telling me all of this stuff. I said, look, I can't I can't even process all this. You have to send it to me. Can you send an email? And I guess if you are in I guess if you're in what was it? If you're in a certain jail, you can't send emails,
but if you're in another one you can't. He says, I can't send you an email, but I can write you. I can write you a letter, and I can tell you what I want to talk about. And I think people didn't believe that the prisoner had actually reached out to me. I have the letter, and I promised when I got it, I would read it. Because this comes from George D. Hoffman. He's in jail in Banning. Does he know you're going to read this letter? Well, yeah, he wants me to do something.
With the letter. He wants you to read the letter.
Well, he wants me to do something with it, right, but he but he knows you're going to read this letter on air, and no, he doesn't care. You know, he doesn't care, Rodney. He doesn't care because he is explaining his situation and what he's writing me about, and he hopes if I can bring attention to a situation, it will help him. Now, if you get a letter from prison, by the way, it is approved by many different people in the prison before it goes out. I've
learned all this. I didn't know any of this. Yeah, he can't just send it to anybody. Right, is that prison? Yeah, it sounds like its hall in prison. It's a mess hall, or they're out in the yard. So here we go. Thank you for your interest in my circumstance. Please understand, I didn't know what a circumstance was. He just called me and I said, okay, well write and tell me here it is. It gives me hope for change and awareness creates security for my safety if.
You know what I mean. Do you know what I mean?
I don't know what he means.
If you know what I mean.
Yeah, So he's assuming you're going to create safety and awareness, if you know what I mean. So he's assuming you know what he's kind of talking about. Right, Well, I'm going to read on what occurs in Riverside County jails is able to be discovered by court cases. Then he
lists all of these court cases. The case asserts that on two sixteen sixteen, the Riverside Sheriff failed to provide psychotropic medication that was on the person of Hoffman vela faring sudine withdrawal syndrome that led to psychosis in Huffman when he was released to twenty three sixteen without meds
or access to meds. The county is liable and spent five hundred thousand dollars over the last six years fighting it on technicalities, winning dismissals before the Ninth Circuit reinstates the case, siding with plaintiff Huffman over the county lawyers and lower court rulings. In the introim custody officers have retaliated by having an inmate assault me, breaking my nose.
Let's see on June first, twenty twenty four hours arrested after subleasing an Airbnb with people I met on the internet, Falsely arrested that police report is available, charged with burglary yet nothing taken, and one thousand dollars worth of high end food left at the house by me. After four hours, he listened, Attorney, I can talk to.
H.
Let's see June fifth, twenty twenty four, Riverside sheriff refused to transport me to court, causing my bail to go from thirty thousand to no bail minute order available. He says on June eighteenth, he was sexually assaulted July seventh inmates. I don't want to use their name. Oh, these two inmates were on the autism spectrum, held in their cell without water or sink or toilet, no mattress, no blankets,
no clothing, no toilet paper, staff deliberately indifferent. Then he sends, so it's much longer than that under penalty of perjury punal Cold seventy two, Undiverside County. I attest the above is true and correct from George D.
Hoffmann.
So that was the letter he sent me.
And with's just some summation from that friend.
My summation is a I don't know if any of that is true or not. I've heard stories about what prison is like, but I have no idea. I'm not qualified to comment on that. His grievances are all listed with court cases and maybe Rodney, there's something to it, but quite frankly, I wouldn't know who to talk to and I wouldn't know how to proceed.
Was this your I'm curious, this is your first prison letter?
Yeah, okay, well I got them out of time. Oh you did? Oh yeah, when you were playing? Yeah, okay, what were they like? And Holly would get them all the time because people with prisoners would watch twenty one Jump Street and then she would get a letter from some prisoners that some were rough and someone you wonder how they got out, but but some of them, yeah my case needs looking at my case and I've been
wrongfully incarcerated and all that kind of stuff. But but yeah, no, no, it's it's not uncommon for prisoners because certain level where you are, you get access to to watch certain things into you know, see certain people, whether it be the news, whether it be sports, whether it be listening to radio, whether it be TV shows, whatever, and then they take a shot in the dark. But they reaching out and telling the story to someone of prominence that it may
lead to someone investigating the you know, their case. But yeah, yeah, I used to get a guy claiming he was my cousin and he would he actually would name several people that I would know that that would lead me to believe that he knew somebody within my family because he knew some details, which made it made it made it
a little bit weird. But all those letters would go to a place like whether I was playing, like it would go to you know, the Lions or the Eagles facility, or it would go to a po box, or it would go somewhere. And there was one time that I got a letter that actually came to my home address, and that made me really nervous, and uh yeah, I had to look into it. And then then there was a cease and desist from that, a season to desist
to Uh yeah, we had to block. You know, you can block it's prisoners from sending out letters to to you directly. I don't know any of this, Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's very common, very common for prisoners to write people in the public eye. I mean, look, I somehow, some way I think he makes these claims, but I don't know. But he's obviously looking for somebody to talk to. Yeah, yeah, you're you know, you're part of the you're part of
the I team. Friend, Now you can go after whoever, I'm part of the I team after whoever, and then back of his back up his claim, back up his claim. But you know a lot of guys you know in there, and obviously you know, with with recent history, there's a lot of people that are that have been wrongfully incarcerated.
But ninety I don't know the percentage.
Shouldn't throw it out there, but there's the majority of people are are there for a reason.
But there are those that out there that that have.
Been wrongfully accused, and they are in the hopes of and the ones that are not wrongfully accused, and I hope that someone like you can fight for them and and uh and hear their case and get them out. So I'm sure you're not the only person he wrote to put it that way. Well, man, I don't feel very special now.
Yeah, you shouldn't. Really, you shouldn't. All right, Well, okay, there it was.
I promised i'd read it when I got it, and that was a prison or email. I thought he were going to ask you to do something really specific and just like you know, hey, I'm your long lost cousin or something like that, right, I don't know, you know, you know what obviously this guy has ended up in jail. Maybe he didn't have the proper attorney. Maybe he needed an attorney like Jacob.
