Let me tell you. No, it's nice and Little Rock. The weather's nice out here. Okay, man, it's real nice. Ida. I played a gold course yesterday called I think it's Analosha. I can think of this fancy in analosha. It is gorgeous, gorgeous. I mean the guy that I guess built the golf course. He was, uh the president over at what's one of the what's one in Atlanta? Everybody talks about Big Tim Augusta. He was president of Augusta and he built this course.

And you know the best thing, Rodney, it was like eighty degrees, like every five eighty degree. IM like, I'm loving this well in Arkansas, Eve though I don't know in Arkansas, don't get don't get me wrong.

Then why are you in Arkansas? I had I had an appearance over here, Fred, I mean people still want to see me. I know, I know it's hard to believe you there, go ahead, right, go ahead.

I was just saying on the golf court to wrap that up a good time a year, because I'm sure it's like green as hell. It was all you know, in summertime and it being the fall.

Now it's beautiful. It's beautiful. I got to say, it's it's beautiful over here. It really is. I mean, you know, this is and the things they love, my man John Daily out here because they know I know John, And let me tell you this is. This is raisor back country. They loved them raising back so him. I mean like like like California love. Let's see, man, I think they

I'm like, you don't do that. That's different down there in the South though, either. You know the people they live, they shut down the town every day. Whole thing shuts down when it's when it's games on Saturday. Boy, it's a whole different event. They depressed, they depressed them because they lost.

Seriously, they depressed them, like man, I'm like, hey, this is dark and so hey, well, you know, but it is nice. People go to the beach, they go to beach, go to mountains. They like, we'll go to Noble and get over get over it exactly. Yeah.

So when you're walking down the streets of Little Rock, Arkansas, Eric, well, what is that like? I've never been there? Uh it would it be like Malibu?

Come on, Fred, now you know you sound like a food Fred. He's all right.

Would it be like uh, I don't know, run out of hills?

What would it be like? Uh? More more like more like seay. I mean, I mean it's nice. I mean it's you know, this is this is America. It really is. It's a lot. You know, there's a lot of nice people out here, really nice people. You know, you got that that southern Southern accent. You know. It's just it's different. I mean, it's different if you if you live in Arkansas, anywhere in the South, if you know what I'm talking about.

But then when I said it's a big I mean I got an elevator, I'm like, why is this elevator so damn big? Like a freight elevator exactly. It's why it's wider and taller horse teams out there. But you're right about the you know the South. Don't spend a whole lot of time in the South, But I spent a lot of time in Georgia lately, and and you do you get that Southern hospitality that it is real.

Now, there's some there. There's some bad apples out.

There that don't want everyone. Don't make that wrong turn, go out there in.

The middle of the night, in the middle of the night. You know story. But there is nothing to the hospitality in the South. Yeah, I agree with that. I mean I had something today. Have you ever heard of have it's called fried fried black eyed peas? You ever heard of that? No? Well, I tried it today. I mean I'm not a real fan. I mean it was okay, No, okay, I won't do that again. I did to try it. I'm like, I'm cool with that. Uh, you know, it's

Fried out my pride mountain.

Nois the mountains some fried up or whatever. Yeah. No, you didn't have to get it. They recommended it, so I said, well, I said, we'll try, but I'm cool. I don't want to fry. Do you have any possum You have a possum friend?

No, I'm not even possive.

Come on, man, you know right, ain't you know? Fredd ain't no possible, Fred. They believe me when I told him Fried possum. Matter of fact, I told somebody the other day I saw a robbin. You know, I saw a robbin jumping around my yard. I said, I used to eat those. Said, come on, Dick, man.

You lying.

I said, no, man, I said, ain't the robbin? I mean, I don't forget get Look at the breast. The breast was a good part of it. The Robbins, you know, the ribbing with the red breast. Yeah, the robbin had robb had for had had you know, robbing. You know you've had robbin Fred. Look look at Fred looking like Fred Loick, like he just been down into a limo.

Like listen.

The only experience I've ever had with the possum, and I've told the story, is when the possum chased my card. I tried to bite my tire.

Save theos you should. It's a possum free, I mean a possum try to bite your car.

Right, possum. Possums are not nice. Possums are mean, right, yes, okay, And they've got like teeth like they can snarl. Right, they got there. I told you Eric, when the possum used to chase me home from NBC. It would wait for me on the corner of More Park from to window.

There positive here come free it. I gotta I gotta go, man, I gotta run. I gotta get out of here. Man I gotta go chase Frae possum. So I pulled. This is no Eric.

This happened so years ago. I'm going and I go up to this light and I look and I look behind me out the wind, and there looks like something that's an enormous rat. And the rat is just staring at my car. It's staring at me. I mean it's looking into my soul. So the light changes and I drive away. I come back the next night at the same time, and it's there again. It's like this enormous rat and it's staring at me, and it looks like

I'm good.

I go up because that's when I lived in the hills and Studio City. I go up to the house, I pull up, and I will be damned. And if you tell me it's not the same one, then okay, that possum is sitting on my front steps waiting for me.

Wait stop, let me ask you one question. So how far are you from the stud from the studio.

You left, Yeah, like three four miles.

So still, so you're telling me that possibly three or four miles to your house.

Yeah, well, I'm saying it probably didn't come down three or four miles the nights it was waiting for me at the light. It did the night it was waiting for me at the light, but obviously it knew where I was going. And then you ended up in front of my house a different night, and it was I swear to god, it was sitting right on the steps and I looked at it and I was like, what the hell this thing looks like it's going to attack me. So I threw a brick at it and ran in the house.

You sound ridiculous, I mean see you said that's true. I don't believe that. Fred, I'm sorry. So the possum left the corner. They say, ye're gonna to Free's house. So it followed you to your house, tracked you to your house. Oh come on, Fred, come on. After people in the audience post then come on that Fred sound And did you say the possum came back the next day? That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Did the possum have a tattoo that you could recognize? No? I

So you're you're telling me, uh, just by coincidence, there was another possum waiting for me. It couldn't have been the same one. Well you think they have a meeting, a possum meeting, and they this guy was a scout and told the other one to go get me.

Well you think it's the only possum. It's the only postum in l A. I mean the one that that.

Was Why would the why Eric, why would a possum wait for me at the light two nights in a row, and to try to attack my car, and then all of a sudden, a different possum knew exactly where I lived.

Okay, So that possum follows you all the way to your house.

Listen, I don't understand the mind of the thank you.

Yeah, I don't think you.

Maybe that possible? What maybe maybe the possum? No, I don't tell like you're talking about ghost at your house and guys with like stove pipe.

But other people I've seen it. Other people have said, who did anybody else see the possum? Fred?

At the house?

Yes? No, at the car at the red light? No, who saw at? So? Who saw him at the house? My wife? How your wife see him? You said you outside.

Because you saw me throw She heard me throw a brick at it, and even five at nights.

So how does she know what you're throwing the brick at? So she saw the she.

Heard the sound, She looked out, and she saw the possum run away.

Well you behind them, there's a door, a window.

Yeah, she was in the window looking out.

Come on, Fred, I think you're lying, for it.

Is very revealing.

I just don't believe it. Think about that. We think about this it Rodney. Then you go, I'm at I'm, I'm I'm I'm at Losi and said. I got up the sunset, and all of a sudden, I see a possum. Right.

The possum looks at me. I look at the pot and we make eye contact with the possum. The possum looks.

At the car. I got the possum chase the car. Okay, I'm sure car could run a possum by long ways, that's fair. I come back the next day, I see the possum again. I look like I see the possum. Okay, the possum see my car. Hollow on, it's the same possum. That's the only possum in that area. Okay, boom.

Now I get home. The possum at my house. So the possum attract me all mis Smellie's time.

I'm gonna track you.

All that sounds ridiculous. Possum detect detective possum on the case.

Let's see, like.

The ponsum that taught me the first night, it would not have tried. It would not have tried to attack my car the second night, was it that possum had a bandetta against me? Now, I don't know if it was the car. I don't know why. I don't know if it was the car.

I never heard that. I never heard the story before. This sounds ridiculous, but it's true. So the pasta, So the possum is like Colombo. Huh, Colombo passam got Colombo possum on the case.

Hey, I ever tell you about the time, every about the time I came face to face with the giant raccoon.

That's they're scary, now, yeah, they're scary, right. What was the raccoon doing?

That's exactly right, Rodney. You remember the story. We're moving from our house in Calabasas, and we had this giant dumpster and we're throwing stuff in the dumpster. And I walked outside to go to work in the morning, like eight thirty eight forty five, and the raccoon is standing there staring at me, eating pacha.

And just like a human being.

It was just like eating pizza staring at me.

Okay, it's true, Okay, so okay, And that's what I yelled.

Go raccoon, and it ran away, go dead.

Not that I could possibly believe that for it. I mean, that's possible that.

The raccoon was inside the dumpster. Okay, it was sitting on top of the dump thank you. It was inside the dumpster. But when it heard me, it came out and stared at me and like taunted me while eating the pizza.

Is what he shook the piece in your face and hate you on some of this.

He didn't do that, but I.

Want some next thing. The next thing pared me said. The raccoon was sitting on the dumps to his legs crossed, had a drink.

But I told you the only thing I in my family that was weird was Uncle Louis. And I didn't even know he was my uncle wh I was like fifteen years old. He was actually Grandma's boyfriend. Wait wait wait he was your grandma's boyfriend. Yeah, uncle Louis right, well for year. Look, I never met my grandfather Frank,

That's what they told you. So you wouldn't ask too many questions, ask no questions. That's the let's see, that's see that that that's something that once again, no fence fast. That's who white people can do. You can ask them kind of black people like, hey, hey boy, you don't ask them kind of questions.

Get out of here. Why you don't have no questions to hey, get get get you out of here, Get out of here.

Okay, well I didn't. I'm sorry. Please Louis tell me the history of Uncle Louis, of you and Grandma Grandma for everybody else in the family, Fred, there was it was the family secret.

Yeah, you wanted to ask too many questions about Uncle Louis.

Well, I just couldn't figure out where he came from. When it was all said and done, Who was Uncle Louis related to Grandma?

Apparently he had asked that question. He had asked the question.

Yeah, uh four an NFL spotlight wall A Football today in California, Ford Dealers. If there's one thing. We like its choices fine yours with a Ford F one fifty gas hybrid or all electric. What you choose to do with that much power is up to you, tough. This smart can only be called.

F one fifty mm hmm. Do I get those doctor tickets away now, Rodney? Yeah, let's do it.

Wait, it's six six nine eighty seven two five seventy eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy tickets for the game tomorrow night.

What call a number?

Come on, let's keep it moving on a beautiful Monday, Rodney, Pete, Fred Rugan and the Hall of Fame.

Uh Eric tickets.

Yeah, all right, let's get into the Rams game. Last night Rams Lions goes into overtime. I think the overtime rule for the regular season needs to be changed. First, I'll see in full disclosure, In full disclosure, I root for the Rams every week except last night. I'm rooting for the Lions. There I said it.

Uh.

Even that being said, I think they need to change your overtime rule because that was really unfair last night.

I've been saying that for years. Even they had to whoever scored first or three points, I didn't I didn't think that was right. I think that you you should have a chance to get the ball back. I mean, I mean, why is it It's almost like you get punished, you know, if you don't get the ball and you score. I mean when they got the ball, I said, this game probably gonna be over with. And they did exactly what people now say that the football the league is

I think they ran the ball with like six times in a row or something that five times in a row.

And you know, I don't I don't like that rule either. I mean, why why shan't Why can't the other team get a shot to go for the touchdown?

All?

So, I just I just think that that's the dumbest rule it really is. I think it's really unfair. Yeah, they should, they should. I mean, and why do you have two different ones?

I mean, right, you play all season long one way, and then you get to the playoffs and the rule changes.

It should be one rule.

You get playing a certain way and you get to the playoffs should be the same way. That's just it doesn't make sense that they would change it for and and do it the right way in the playoffs, right, you know where you know, in that situation, the Rams would have got the ball and had a chance to go down and score a touchdown.

Let me ask the question, right, and you notice who makes up these rules? I mean who sits in the committee? Who is the who is the clowns to sit up and don't even know how to put a football uniform on? Well?

The committee of is a committee actually of coaches and and some Yeah, there's coaches. I think there's some execs in there too, like gms and stuff like player I don't know if there's got former players in there or not, but there's definitely coaches on the committee.

Then rules committee and all that's there. And some old officials too. Yeah, like I said, you know they they bad eyes. Okay, but you know I'm with you, Fred. I didn't like that. I mean I just felt like, man, the Rams had the opportunity to really win that football game. You know, when when Stafford threw that interception end zone, I'm like, man, that hurt that, that hurt bad. Yeah.

Yeah, And then he went out of the game and it was like it was canceled Christmas after that, like three guys on them, man, and and it was it was the Davenport Davenport Marcus Davenport. It was like that that defense was was was But I tell you what, the uh, the Rams gonna be pretty good. Like we said before the season, I think the Rams is gonna be pretty good. And then listen, Detroit, that's a good football team.

And you said it.

They they are physical and on offense, I mean, I you know, Jared Golf has played well for them.

But they run the football. And they got two legitimate backs.

They got two guys and and the Gibbs and and Montgomery. They got too legitimate guts that can roll and run the football. And they feed them both too. That's a good football team, Detroit, especially when they're playing at home.

U when they're playing at home, they.

Get they get home field, or they get them playoff games at home, and I did. I went to them one last year in Tampa when Tampa came up there and that place was as loud as I've heard any stadium. And if they do get it at home this year, boy, it's gonna be tough to beat them. And uh and in Detroit, but I think both those fifth, both the teams, and I guess it's gonna it's really gonna come down to see how pooking the cold. Do we know any

It was a knee. It was a knee.

Yeah, yeah, But losing him hurt they definitely hurt them because he is UH. With him and Cooper Cup, they are a hard team to stop. But let's just hope he's not He's not, you know, hurt for a period of time because they both of them are good football teams.

You know, Eric I said, last hour, we were kicking around the Chargers and uh, the Raiders don't do that coming up in a bet. But I said, you know, it's one game. You know it's one game. I don't think you can base your feeling on the rest of the season on one game.

No, you can't for it. I mean, and I agree with you with that, because you know it's seventeen games and that's one game. I mean, look, you can start off five and oh and a lot of teams that have and end up you know back when we played you know, five and in ten or five eleven. I mean I left him. I mean, it's great to get that first victory. Don't get me wrong. It's always good

When the Rams have a tough schedule, they know they don't have a easy Scheduley gott.

Want to league. Yeah, we got to have They got the forty nine ers, so it's not gonna it's not gonna be easy.

And well that's the penalty you suffer from winning, right, The better you are, the tough of your schedule.

Ain't that funny? How how you get punished for doing good? I mean, you know, I hate to say it. When you get played good, you gotta get like a little weak of skin, like a look like a lighter schedule. Break break, Give me a goose, give us a break.

I mean, but I look at it like this, Eric, I I agree with you, and you know everybody thinks I'm nuts. I think the best teams you should get the highest picks in the draft. I think you should be pedalized for losing, not the worst team gets the top pick and well, we'll try to figure it out. We'll bring it now. I think the best team should get the top picks.

I agree with that too. I mean I kind of like that idea. I mean really in a sense, why do you get penalized of being good? Right? That's what they do. That's that's they do. You You you're a good team.

We're gonna stick it to you, and we're gonna make you play a tough schedule.

You good. I mean, think about when the Patriots were really good, but the Patriot to win in a really weak division, I mean really weak division.

You know that the Bills were no good? Yeah, no good. Miami at that Miami was no good. I mean those games that was pretty much eight We think about it. You know that that that idea of the best team the teams, say, teams that make the playoffs? Right, if you make the playoffs, how many teams fourteen teams whatever make the playoffs, those fourteen they get the first fourteen picks of the draft. If you make the playoffs once,

A quarterback like it was last year, quarterback every draft and you already got your quarterback. You're gonna trade that pick and give it to somebody who nobody else more picks for your team, So it still can work out. Like if you the Rams and you you know, you go win the Super Bowl. Yeah you got you got Stafford there. You're not picking a quarterback in the first round, you know, you're trading that and getting somebody else's two or three picks, or second and third round picks.

That might be a good idea, Grid, I bet you. I think you've you stumble up on something left, Fred? Yeah, Fred like that.

You know what if keep in a one eyed squirrel finds an acorn once in a while, you've got it, just like a possum following your home.
