Speaker 6 (02:12):
Yeah, mayb is he in the Arctic?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Were they playing in like a cold place? I don't
I don't get the fur coat thing.
Speaker 7 (02:23):
I was always like hot as hell after showering off
and like changing then you had to go like talk
to the media. I was always sweating, you know, like
you're always I don't know, I'd be sweating my ass
off in that thing.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I don't know. Man, I did have a white wolf
fur coat before he was wait what he was rescued.
He was a wrest He.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Killed a white wolf and made a coat out of it.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
It was a rescue. It was a rescue. I have
a taxi. I have a taxidermy lion.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So they rescued white wolf but then killed it and
skinned it.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Well, they didn't kill it. He was rescued. He was
he passed away.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Oh and so instead of like I don't any him
or bearing.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah, I don't know. Just I wouldn't do animal cruelty.
Like I wouldn't be like, oh, yeah, go kill a
wolf so I can have a fur coat.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
It's getting called out. Put him in the driveway, step
on the gas.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
I don't know, but like, hold on, this actually goes
to a different path. I mean, boss hog. It's not
like Jonas like mid a jacket out of his or
a blanket or whatever the hell you wan.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
He was a master. You keep it high and tight
with mastives. You know you could attack the derm eat them.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, you could have created a rug out of it. Yeah,
that wouldn't create You don't want to walk on.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Them mounted like you know that that wouldn't create any issues.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
Uh, you know, so it was your dog and when
it died you had him turn it into a jacket.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
No, it was a wolf.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
It was a rescue.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Though it was a rescue, the story of it was
it was a rescued by the way. Yes, there's plenty
of rescue wolves. I feel like they're pretty bad ass.
Like I feel like they're they're good and they get
shot up bad ass too. You know, they come on
with some of you. You ain't never watch Yellowstone. They'll
get you now.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
No, I have what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I'll pop you. You know, them them farmers, they'll pop
you if they see if they see him come up
on there. You know, these white wolf coats are pricey. Man,
let me see, I mean, let me see so many years,
six hundred and ninety bucks. That guy just like a douche.
But I was a douche when I wore it. You know,
I didn't wear very often though. I just I think
(04:28):
I might have worn it to like maybe two games. Coincidentally,
ironically enough, it was probably in a place like Kansas
City when it was cold. You know, why wouldn't it
I was cold? I'm just selling got it because I
was cold.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
You know, it was with like wolves on them. I'm
not seeing it actual like wolf fur coat.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It was a white wolf.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
I see the one is on the wall on Poschmark Jonas. Yeah,
it was like the wolf head as part of it.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Uh yeah, I saw that one. Yeah, No, I didn't.
It didn't have a wolfhead on it. There's another guy,
guy who's wearing leather pants. Uh. First I might have
had leather pants on. No shirt. What a necklace?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
That sounds like some prince type stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I'm weird. It's like I'm looking at wolfstuff dot com.
I had no idea that this was also.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
You don't know who owns that.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
You don't know the guy who was like, you know what,
I'm gonna start a website wolf stuff dot com.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, I got I got it.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
That trina is more than coffee right now, it's like genius.
No one thought of this. I'm going to corner the
wolf market.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I wanted a fur coat, but I didn't want to
perpetuate anything, any creation being hurt for me to have
a so I didn't research that. The tax found me.
I wanted old wolf coat. The taxi duringything weird.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Someone else shot the wolf to then make them take
it into skin it.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
No that they didn't shoot it. There was no shooting involved.
It was a rescue. I don't get that pass. And
then it has like a card like it had like
a card in the ze or something the history, like
a sanctuary like you said.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
Things, So we need to bring it in and put
it behind high fences because it can't help itself or
can't protect itself in the wild.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, something to that effect.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Isn't that how nature works?
Speaker 7 (06:28):
Like if you're not with the pac man, like you're
subject to whatever happens.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I mean, have you ever seen tiger king, you know?
Or tiger what what was it called?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Is that what it was called with the crazy people?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Same thing, like there are there are sanctuaries that exist
around you know, the country, in the.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
World, if they're protecting them from people.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I get it, But that's what I'm saying. Even a
lion like the line that I named Mondevu, like after
your nephew, he was he was a rescue. He was
a rescue, and they had like it like the uh
the story. It had his whole story, his whole story,
like they sent the story of the lion, and like
how he was? You know that maybe it was just
(07:10):
it was a it was a Christmas gift and give
us a lion as a Christmas I always wanted a lion, but.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Who gave it to you?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
My wife?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
So Trish found a lion. It was like, yep, he was.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
It was a whole process.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Also, it's like one of those like adopt a kid
who's got bugs on his.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Eyelids correct commercial, yeah, correct, Oh, and that's awesome. And
then the kid, you know, goes to the other side,
the great beyond. Yeah, and just for ten cents a
day you can feed.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
And is like, hey, I'll pay a lot more tents
a date.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
For that et phone.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
They pan over and this this uh, this thing's licking
his balls and you're trying to sell it.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
There you go for a.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
How would you gonna pay for this?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I don't know how much it costs, but it is
a bad ass line.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
For a penny a day, this lion can lick his
balls in your driveway too.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
He was not a lot. He was stuffed. He stuffed.
It was taxidermy.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
That's what I understand the process.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
So I don't tell me you're telling me they rescue
this thing, they put it in a sanctuary, you know,
the high fenced in park, which is not its natural habitat.
It dies, then they skin it afterwards.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Apparently where I got my lion from it was in
Africa and the taxidermists. The taxidermist is.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
Could you imagine? Could you imagine if they're like, no,
actually it was just how you're hanging out in Texas.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
But that's fine too.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Yeah, we met, We met Africa, Oklahoma.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Hey man, giving I'm just giving y'all the story. Many
Apparently he was a famed taxidermist. He was retiring, he
was getting up there in age.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
How do you get famous for being a taxidermist.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
It's a weird.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
A lot of different things. Is that it?
Speaker 7 (09:11):
I don't know, man, It's just how it was given
to me. Like, well, I stuffed an elephant, you know,
I make sure to that.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Stuff is is like a really quality taxidermist is a
very very well sought after I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Used a taxidermy.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I'm not.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
I'm not trying to make it seem either like that
I'm discounting the profession. I'm just saying, like i'd love
to know, like the qualifications of like who's the best?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Like how do you know? Like what are you looking
for in that guy?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I mean she found him whoever he was.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
He's gonna he's got to switch where it'll wink at
you from time to time.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I'm pretty sweet. He looked like he'd come to life.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
They needed to make it where like when you walk
in the room the thing looks so damn really you're.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
Like, oh god, it's censored, and his paw is up
like that, You're still he's like up in his life,
all is up.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
So so you So you guys have gotten a pet taxidermy,
like one got in a pet taxi. I get them cream.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
We've had yeah, we've had our cremated and.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
He's in the like they're in irons, like there remains.
I still have ironsurns, irons, irons urns.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
That's the insert in you.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Huh. I guess I couldn't do a taxidermy. I can't.
I don't that.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
The whole thing creeps me out, Like you walk into
a house and it's basically your dog, but they don't
do it.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Did you bury your dog? Is not how you bet
bury him?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Please? I feel a level I feel a level street comfort.
No trash picks up.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Trash pickup is every Tuesday that the street. It was
a Monday, it's twenty four hours later.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah, that's not funny. Put them in.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Put him in a glad bag in the street. Two
black guys because he was four fifteen at the time.
Bags and uh and they came by.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You crowed, and you still think this is fun You
visit him, well, what is the problem, right next to
the recycling can, right next to the yard wast and
recycling your dog.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
And then that's how you dispose of his body.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Hey, we pay for that trash. Do your job. I
had a dull corner, come get dresser. We put him
on the gurney, covered him up, wielded him out. Why
are you smiling up? Just what is wrong with you?
Speaker 7 (11:25):
By the way, the last when we had to put
down our boxer and it was terrible's right on Lisha's birthday,
we had done like a staycation thing. Came home and
it was just like we knew it was time. Like
she she was battling cancer at that point and she
had ripped open from a prior surgery. We had to
try to remove something to help, you know, help her
(11:45):
feel better prolonged life.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
And it was just it was a bloodbath. I mean
it was it was nasty what she was because she
was so uncomfortable.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
Yes, she scratched it open, like the whole and so
it was like blood, you know, pus all stuff. So
we have this vetinaryan come over and you know, dude,
I'm getting emotional and I just looked at the girl.
At one point I was like, so you just you
go around all these.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Different families every day.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I was like, you're just putting down dogs every day.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I'm like, what kind of life is that.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
I'm like questioning this young woman who's like nice enough
to come down and euthanize our dog.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
And probably one of the funnier moments was my mom
walks in and she's like, oh, I heard, I wanted
to say goodbye whatever.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
And then the vet starts feeding the dog chocolate and
she goes, oh, honey, you should do that kind of look.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
The bet looked at my mom like, let the dog
enjoy chocolate.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
If we're putting it, we're putting it down in twenty seconds, like,
let the dog enjoy it. But she's trying to like
reprimand this vetinary and you're supposed to feed dog's chocolate.
She like didn't really understand the process of what was happening.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Oh man, that's this is a morbid. That's all right man,
you know ga, the nerve of you to stimulate this conversation,
like listen, this is you know, all just because that
man wanted to be warm and one of these these
cold market you know, places to play.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Where the hell was he at?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
By the way, probably an okayz.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Yeah, I'd assume that was a home home game. I
can't imagine he traveled with that.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah, and you did ask, Lorraina did ask earlier. Hey,
By the way, I've always wondered this.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Back when you guys were playing, was there a strict
code about what you had to wear to a game?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
To and from a game depended on the coach? YEA
coach would make that, Like, but yeah, you had to
wear a suit and tie more often than not. Some
of them you could wear sweats, walking suit walking walking suits. Yeah,
that's big. That was a big thing, walking.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
The walking suit.
Speaker 8 (13:52):
Yea, It's like it was like the biggest I mean,
there's so many things about the wa A walking suit
is Jonas.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
No, it doesn't you don't have a it's not a coat.
It's like it's almost like a shirt. Maybe it's like.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
A button down long shirt that you wear out.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
You don't see it looks like a suit coat, but
it's not.
Speaker 7 (14:11):
Yeah, yeah, it's like a shirt. It's more comfortable. And
then the pants in the exact what they're called walkers
and the walking suit and then and the pants are
the exact same like fabin material coat.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
It's like it's like one big piece of whatever material
it is is what these dudes will wear.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
And the funny thing is they they cloth their guys be.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
Charged them like the exact same amount is basically like
what a suit is.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
He's like, now you're gonna walk it suit. It's about
the same price.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, they got short sleeves, they got long sleeves. Could
turn it into short a short set.
Speaker 8 (14:49):
Like all right, I gotta ask the question, is this
a black or a white thing? I never saw many
white guys were walking suits.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I was about to say it was a very stereotypical
it for pro pro athletes. Yeah the year I was like,
what is that? But there was some cats that would
tuck them in. They would tuck the shirt in.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I never saw anyone.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
They have them all with some gators, and I was like, hell, yeah,
that's a looks a.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Bit just so we're hell, I'm telling the truth here.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
I I googled walking suits for men and I went
to images and it's literally all black guys at entire
page of black guys. That guy might be Puerto Rican,
but I mean, you know, we're splitting hairs here.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I think it may have been one lineman that I
know that had one, maybe two, but it.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Was it was on our side. We claimed him. Yeah, probably.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
But here's the thing is, for anyone who saw like
or it was worn a walking suit, you know, it
is a thousand times more comfortable than actually wearing a suit,
or actually wearing like dressed hands and a jack and
a button up and a belt and all that.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
And that was like the gid.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
I was like, damn, this shouldn't even that shouldn't even count,
Like these duds are getting away with the dress code
just because they're wearing walking suits.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
But it was a thing, man, it still is.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
They look comfortable. I don't know that it's still a
thing like long suits. Long suits were in when I
was in the league, and I know that's not in anymore.
Like I'm talking like down mid thigh.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Did they do it for the draft kind of making
fun of it the other year.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah, it was like Lebron and Carmelo and all those guys.
Dwyane Wade, I believe.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I thought. I thought a recent class just did that
and they were making fun of that.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I don't know. I don't know, but.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I look this up. I feel like I saw pictures
of like them.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Suits is a trip though. Old school suits are a
trip man compared to nowadays. I remember Chris Weber had one.
I believe long suits like juke suits. Yeah, you know,
like like Cab calloway. But you know what, that's the
way fashion works. It's going to come back into style. Baggy, baggy,
baggy jeans are coming back. I don't like it. I
(17:07):
don't like. I don't like the trending away from the
tight super tight. I don't like.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I don't care what dudes wear.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
But yeah, I'm with you on that, Like you go
from yoga pants to baggy jeans.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
I'm not with the right ladies.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
You're working in the wrong direction.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
It's the wrong direction. It's weird.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
What's on stuff like that's your Nope?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Do you hear that, Lorena? Yes, I heard, And actually
I have mixed feelings on it. Why.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
I get the comfort aspect of it, but like, are
yoga pants not comfortable?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
No? I love yoga pants. I wear my workout pants
all the time. That should be every day. But sometimes
I see ladies who are wearing yoga pants and I'm like,
you don't even do yoga, And I can tell oh damn,
So you know, are good for people?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Lorraine A Smith yoga pants shaming people?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
That's crazy because she's skinny. That's wild. I can't stand
when skinny people, naturally skinny people make fun of us.
It is. It is the wildest thing ever, the wildest
thing ever. Man. It's a real struggle, man, all right,
it's a real struggle. It's all right, Okay. Have you
(18:16):
ever tried to gain weight and not been able to
gain weight? It's not it's not a problem I deal with. Man.
Man is fighting. My son is fighting to get three
more pounds on and keep the pounds on. Right now,
(18:36):
I said, son, there will come a time where the
Errington Jene kicks in. Do not fight to try to
gain weight? Just eat the way you're supposed to eat,
take your protein, do your workouts. That gene will kick in.
You'll be all right. I fight it every day. Now,
(19:01):
everybody out there listening, y'all think I'm doing a bit
right now, I'm not. I fight wait every day. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
We love it, man, But you are not obese. You
need to stop this.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Kind of puzzling. Why that's the approach you take with
self value. I just don't understand why you guys like
I get it. I've I've learned to accept it. I fight.
I fight it and and one day maybe potentially I win.
You know I'll win against weight. You look great. I know.
(19:37):
No you're lying. No, it's not true. I taxidermy you.
Thank you. Yeah. Tell Trisha that I'll put a bit
in for that. That would be interesting, like like the

Aaron Rodgers and the situation involving him the Steelers and
(21:18):
what his plans are for the future. He was on
the Pat McAfee show starring aj Hawk. Yesterday, he discussed.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
And had some kind words for his former coach now
current coach of the Steelers, Mike McCarthy, and also where
things are at from a contract standpoint with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Mike's one of the great guys in the league. Just
an absolutely exceptional human being with a huge heart. We
had a lot of great years together, a lot of fun.
I loved my time with Mike over the years. Obviously
there were some times it's like, you know, it's like
a big brother where you sometimes you love him, sometimes
you pissed at him. But deep down there's so much
love for Mike and appreciation for the time we spent together.
(21:57):
I've talked to Mike, I've talked to Omar. There's been
no deadline that's been you know, that's been put in
front of me. There's no contract, you know, offer or anything.
So there's nothing that I'm you know, having to debate
between I'm, you know, free agent and you know again
I'm I'm enjoying my time with my wife and enjoying
(22:19):
this part of the off season, and and you know,
I think there's conversations to be add down the line.
But but right now, I'm not not There hasn't been
any progressive conversations.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I don't want to sound the alarm because I know
that there's still time. But if you're the Steelers with
the new league year starting next week, wouldn't you want
an answer at some point or have some sort of
clarity pretty quickly here on who's going to be your
quarterback next year? Like it feels like there's going to
be some options, and I would assume you'd want to
(22:55):
get that handled and get that straightened out so you
can kind of move forward with the off season plans, y'all.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
Like you, My thoughts are, yeah, you want some clarity,
but I think more that clarity is gonna come at
the draft. So you know, either you make a move
to try to take a guy like Ty Simpson, or
you could say you're going to bring in another free
agent or trade for a guy.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
But the reality is, if Rogers.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
Decides to come back, he's the guy, probably even regardless
of who you draft.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
So I don't know.
Speaker 7 (23:32):
I mean, I think that's that's the hard part about
all this is you're kind of hanging in limbo if
you're Pittsburgh and there's elements of that that played out
last year. I think the only difference is now, you know,
you've got the same guy who knows the city, knows
the organization, he knows the personnel, he knows the offense,
even though it's new to everyone else, not new to him.
So there's all those elements that would make it easier
(23:55):
depending on how long it takes him to make a decision.
But I think it's hard, and it's hard to want
to say, hey, we have to close that door, but
at the same time try moving on too. You know,
you've got to be able to find a way of
threatening the needle where if you can get him back,
you get him back, but you also have.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
The plan of the future.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
And I think that might be one of the harder
conversations too, to have, is if you bring in Rodgers
and you still spend a first round draft pick on
the guy who's going to replace him after this year,
does he want that? Does he want to go to
a situation where it's like that. You know, if you're
Minnesota and you're selling him, if you're Kevin O'Connell on,
you come in here for a year, let JJ McCarthy
sit watch develop you know, learn from you, then we
(24:35):
feel like there's a better chance for him.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Being able to be the quarterback we hope he can be.
You know, that might be their game plan.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
Maybe that's more attractive to Aaron Rodgers because he knows
what he's dealing with, Like he knows he's the guy
for the year, he knows what they're looking for out
of the guy behind him, and you're just trying to
win as many games as possible to.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Get to a super Bowl. So every situation is different.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
I don't know that you know, Pittsburgh has that guy
I am behind him and they took Will Howard last
year in the sixth round. I'm not sure they feel
like he's you know, the air apparent of the future.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
So, uh, it's it's just a more.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
Gray situation I think for for what the plan would
be in Pittsburgh all around. You know that team they
just released John new Smith, you know. So, so what
does this like roster really look like even if Rogers
comes back, Like, are you just kind of running it
back with the same group you had last year for
the most part?
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
My first my first take on it was the fact
that Aaron Rodgers is saying there is no contract and
there has been no discussions about there being one. It
doesn't take a lot of time to get a contract
done if you want to get it done in the
interest of time. But wouldn't you be concerned that another
(25:51):
team is going to swoop in and take them away?
I like that was my first thought, Like, if you
really wanted Aaron Rodgers, I'm back and play for your team.
I don't think that you not have conversations with him
and not have a contract, like kind of you know,
(26:12):
looming that to me. I almost feel like that triggers like,
are you saying, Okay, we're going to let him test
the market. If nobody comes and takes them, then we'll
offer them what we're going to offer him, And that's
what it's going to be, with no leverage other than
to retire. I just I'm not sure how to decipher
(26:37):
and interpretate the idea. Interpret the idea of there not
being a contract and no conversations going on when you're
seeing shaking and moving when when you want somebody at
this point, there's an aggressive move to try to position
yourself to get that person on your team. And that
(26:59):
doesn't sound like that's the case here. It makes me
wonder does Aaron Rodgers even want to return to football,
And maybe that's the bigger question is maybe they know
how he feels about moving into the future, and maybe
that's why they're not in a hurry to have that
conversation with him.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Do you think he knows the answer one way or
the other? I would and I don't know, you guys
have been through this, but I would think that by
now there's been enough time away from the season that
you're assessing, you know, what, body feels good?
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Why not? Like if he was just shutting the door completely,
I feel like he would have already had the answer,
Like it would have already been I'm good here, I
got everything out of this career I could possibly want.
I'm ready to move on.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
I'm happily married, ready to move on live that second
part of my life.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
It didn't sound like he closed the door. It sounds
like he's still interested.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
In Yeah, that's why I think. I think he's gonna play,
And I just I wonder, so what's the.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
What is almost like he's communicating to the Steelers, like
you know, there's been no contract offered, there's been no
discussions of it. He didn't mention other teams. I think
it was more specific to Mike McCarthy and his time
in Pittsburgh and the GM. He mentioned those things. He
didn't even bring up other teams. So I'm just curious,
(28:19):
is he is he thinking or hoping to potentially return
to the Steelers or are they the only option or
or are they an option? Because are they not? Are
they not an option?
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Brady made mention of, you know, the guys are waiting
to see what's going on in Minnesota kind of that's
the first shoot to drop.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
It is what the Vikings plan are. And I wonder
if if the option was there and the Vikings were like,
hey man, you know we're interested. We kicked the tires
on this last year. What do you think?
Speaker 4 (28:52):
I wonder if the lore of Justin Jefferson Kevin O'Connell
would be enough to pull him away from the experience
he ada in Pittsburgh in a familiar name and a
familiar guy in Mike McCarthy, Like I wonder, I wonder
how appealing and how attractive that opportunity would be.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I don't know, is he concerned about Minnesota? Do all
beat up there?
Speaker 7 (29:14):
We had that conversation earlier, so.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I mean, in all seriousness, it's called in Minnesota. It's
very cool all Americas.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Though, Do you think there's any concern from Rogers too
of going there simply because it like it follows the
Brett Farrv path and he he already had to kind
of wear those shoes and then those shoes kind of
became his own during his time in Green Bay. I mean,
he's already done that. And they went to the New
York Jets, like he was like all right, like we're
we're falling in the exact same playbook that Brett Farv did.
(29:48):
I wonder if there's some hesitation with that for his legacy,
because I think as he's gotten older, he's thought a
lot more about himself, his legacy, what he's leaving behind
to this game. And I also think there's just a
bigger question of and he's the he's the type of
person too that's reflective where he'd ask himself.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Like what am I chasing?
Speaker 7 (30:09):
And am I chasing another Super Bowl? So I so
I could be one of those guys who has two
am I chasing? My love for the game at this point,
you know, like like that's a legitimate question. Does he
still love the game. Does he still want to put
his body through that. I mean, he's played for a
long time. There might be parts of him that says,
maybe I'm done, Maybe I want to move on. Maybe
(30:30):
I'm I'm I'm okay with breaking up or divorcing what
this marriage to football that I've had, and moving on
with the next, you know, step in my life. I
just I wonder, you know, because he's the type of
guy that has a lot of these probably internal thoughts.
I wonder how all that stuff's hitting him at this point,
(30:51):
because I'm sure he's thinking about the end, because he
cares about how things are going to end, and he
maybe is okay without it ended last year PI. Maybe
he wants to go back running back for another opportunity,
or maybe he says to himself, You're like, I'm good
like I I, you know, have my memories with Mike.
We won a Super Bowl in Green Bay like that
(31:12):
that was good enough for me, and I don't want
to risk going to a new place for another year
and starting over again like that in Minnesota. Or I
don't want to go back and taint my feelings towards
Mike McCarthy. For whatever this is gonna be in round
two in Pittsburgh. You know, he's, like I said, he's
a deep, you.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Know thinker like that.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
I think we've all witnessed that from his interviews on
the Pat mcavie show.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Uh, I'm curious as to what his retirement looks like
if this is if this is it and he's done,
does he just weed? I'm not talking posts retirement sorry
activities or dooring activit active activities. I'm saying, is he
(31:58):
gonna call for a are they going to do a
press conference? Like how I just wonder how does he depart?
How does he depart?
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Because Marshawn Lynch had the picture of the shoes on
the telephone wire, right, So what is Rogers?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Uh? What's his move? My guy from Kansas City the
d N His was pretty dope.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Oh what is it?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
What's the defense? Defensive end's name? He rode off and
with his horse. Oh Jared Allen, Jared Allen, Jared as
pretty good. That was a good one. Like, I just
wonder what his you know, what his departure looks like.
Some guys just go and it's like they go. He
just walks into a hole. Like we have conversations about
Lebron James and him returning to Cleveland for the you know,
(32:44):
the retirement. Yeah, that's that's that's like we're talking about
him going on his farewell tour. What does that look
like for Aaron Rodgers because you would have to assume,
like there's going to be a presser. I mean, he's
one of the great quarterbacks of all time. You assume
that there's going to be a celebration of him if
(33:05):
he decides he doesn't want to play anymore. I don't
think he goes press conference. I really don't. Does he
do it on Pat McAfee? Does he get the exclusive?
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
That's because I've thought about that, like, how would he
walk away? Because he doesn't want anything to do with
the media. He said as much yesterday. I'm not doing
any media. I'm disappearing. I'm gone after my career is over.
You know, people are weird. They think, you know his
his wife is fake and man, I generated.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
For him get off the grid. Yeah, I don't know
what you like. Y'all got a couple more years with
me and I'm up. Yeah, ain't never going here from me? Really,

(36:33):
It is too bad that Anthony Davis doesn't get more
more coverage, and there's a lot of time spent on you.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Know, the Lebron drama and all the other you know, Zion.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
Williamson getting fat shamed, because it does feel like Anthony
Edwards is one of the few throwbacks in the league.
He's a beast man, he's awesome. He is a beast
and you know there's going to be a time there
there will come a time where.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
The new guard will will start to emerge and and
be you know, be those that new next tier, next
level superstar that's that's connected to to the league. But
right now, I mean, it's just not it's not going
to play out that way, that's all. But it's okay.
Things happen.
Speaker 7 (37:25):
So let me ask you this, how much of this
is excuse me as a byproduct of the league, like
not doing more to highlight Anthony Edwards as one of
those next faces. Like I feel like every league has
its opportunity to kind of shape a narrative or shape
how they present the game and who's who's got next?
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Like who is it? Who is it next?
Speaker 7 (37:45):
And we've we've talked about that before with Anthony Edwards
just because he does have an older, like old school mentality,
different style to him. How much of that is is
on the league for not kind of anointing him as
that or how much of is that is a stranglehold
that love Lebron has on the league before he leaves
of like past the rains to someone else.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
The coverage of the league is more about the drama
and the storyline drama than it is about the performance
of the players.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
It just right, we know that, But who's to blame it?
Speaker 7 (38:16):
The means is that, Adam Silver, is that the players
who have control like Lebron.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
I think that the hot take culture of sports media
has really thrived on covering the NBA.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Where yeah, but okay, but that and why is it?
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Why is it a thrive on covering other sports? Then?
Speaker 4 (38:34):
Because I I, for whatever reason, the Jordan Lebron debate,
you don't have a lot of those in the NFL,
Like there's not a it's like you don't individualize a
team sport like they do in the NBA. In the
NFL will recognize a team like we tried to do
it a little bit with the Belichick Brady stuff, but
they played you know, they were together for so long
(38:55):
and there were storylines there, you know, Lebron and Jordan
that that's been going on forever, and it's almost like
that carried over into all of these other like you
can't just have two great players. You got to pick
one or the other. And it's just the coverage of
the league is so divisive that they swim in that
world like there's not a you can't have two things,
(39:17):
you got to pick one or the other. It's just
the hot take culture of it. And I think the
coverage of it has really I think it turns a
lot of people off. Like people spent so much time
ripping I remember when James Harden was was at his peak,
and people spend so much ah style of plays this
and it's boring and it's that And the guy who's
averaging over thirty a game, there's two players in history
(39:40):
that we're doing that, And all in all you would
hear about is, yeah, well, look.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
How he's getting those thirty points a game. Look how
he's doing it. You can't.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
There's just too much negative coverage of the league, and
I think I think it's exhausting for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Who just like maybe they're just hungry for like who's
a great player? Like can we can we get a
great player like Anthony? Anthony Edwards is a great player,
he's fun to watch and he's a throwback. How much
does winning have to do with it? Like I feel
like last year was a golden moment, a golden opportunity.
(40:14):
All those names we mentioned, the Kobe's, the the Shacks,
the the Jordans and stuff, like they had to take
it they had to take it, and even if you
had to go. You know, he made it to the
finals in Cleveland, but I mean when he went to Miami,
he took it. He took that mantle. He had a
(40:35):
lot of hype, but he lived up to the hype.
He exceeded the hype. I just I don't know, man.
I think I think Anthony Edwards had the opportunity to
take it last year in the playoffs. He let it
get away. Can he regain it? I don't know, but
I think to become that next level guy where they
talk about you that way, you gotta you gotta come
for it, you gotta go go get it.
Speaker 4 (40:54):
I mean the problem is then Wenby came around, the
Spurs are back the thunder.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
It's a tough one.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
It's a definitely change to get the guard hour three
next though an FSR m HM

Speaker 1 (02:36):
I don't know. Man, I did have a white wolf
fur coat before he was wait what he was rescued.
He was a wrest He.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Killed a white wolf and made a coat out of it.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
It was a rescue. It was a rescue. I have
a taxi. I have a taxidermy lion.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So they rescued white wolf but then killed it and
skinned it.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Well, they didn't kill it. He was rescued. He was
he passed away.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Oh and so instead of like I don't any him
or bearing.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah, I don't know. Just I wouldn't do animal cruelty.
Like I wouldn't be like, oh, yeah, go kill a
wolf so I can have a fur coat.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
It's getting called out. Put him in the driveway, step
on the gas.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
I don't know, but like, hold on, this actually goes
to a different path. I mean, boss hog. It's not
like Jonas like mid a jacket out of his or
a blanket or whatever the hell you wan.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
He was a master. You keep it high and tight
with mastives. You know you could attack the derm eat them.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, you could have created a rug out of it. Yeah,
that wouldn't create You don't want to walk on.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Them mounted like you know that that wouldn't create any issues.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
Uh, you know, so it was your dog and when
it died you had him turn it into a jacket.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
No, it was a wolf.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
It was a rescue.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Though it was a rescue, the story of it was
it was a rescued by the way. Yes, there's plenty
of rescue wolves. I feel like they're pretty bad ass.
Like I feel like they're they're good and they get
shot up bad ass too. You know, they come on
with some of you. You ain't never watch Yellowstone. They'll
get you now.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
No, I have what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I'll pop you. You know, them them farmers, they'll pop
you if they see if they see him come up
on there. You know, these white wolf coats are pricey. Man,
let me see, I mean, let me see so many years,
six hundred and ninety bucks. That guy just like a douche.
But I was a douche when I wore it. You know,
I didn't wear very often though. I just I think
(04:28):
I might have worn it to like maybe two games. Coincidentally,
ironically enough, it was probably in a place like Kansas
City when it was cold. You know, why wouldn't it
I was cold? I'm just selling got it because I
was cold.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
You know, it was with like wolves on them. I'm
not seeing it actual like wolf fur coat.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It was a white wolf.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
I see the one is on the wall on Poschmark Jonas. Yeah,
it was like the wolf head as part of it.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Uh yeah, I saw that one. Yeah, No, I didn't.
It didn't have a wolfhead on it. There's another guy,
guy who's wearing leather pants. Uh. First I might have
had leather pants on. No shirt. What a necklace?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
That sounds like some prince type stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I'm weird. It's like I'm looking at wolfstuff dot com.
I had no idea that this was also.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
You don't know who owns that.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
You don't know the guy who was like, you know what,
I'm gonna start a website wolf stuff dot com.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, I got I got it.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
That trina is more than coffee right now, it's like genius.
No one thought of this. I'm going to corner the
wolf market.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I wanted a fur coat, but I didn't want to
perpetuate anything, any creation being hurt for me to have
a so I didn't research that. The tax found me.
I wanted old wolf coat. The taxi duringything weird.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Someone else shot the wolf to then make them take
it into skin it.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
No that they didn't shoot it. There was no shooting involved.
It was a rescue. I don't get that pass. And
then it has like a card like it had like
a card in the ze or something the history, like
a sanctuary like you said.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
Things, So we need to bring it in and put
it behind high fences because it can't help itself or
can't protect itself in the wild.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, something to that effect.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Isn't that how nature works?
Speaker 7 (06:28):
Like if you're not with the pac man, like you're
subject to whatever happens.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I mean, have you ever seen tiger king, you know?
Or tiger what what was it called?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Is that what it was called with the crazy people?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Same thing, like there are there are sanctuaries that exist
around you know, the country, in the.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
World, if they're protecting them from people.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I get it, But that's what I'm saying. Even a
lion like the line that I named Mondevu, like after
your nephew, he was he was a rescue. He was
a rescue, and they had like it like the uh
the story. It had his whole story, his whole story,
like they sent the story of the lion, and like
how he was? You know that maybe it was just
(07:10):
it was a it was a Christmas gift and give
us a lion as a Christmas I always wanted a lion, but.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Who gave it to you?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
My wife?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
So Trish found a lion. It was like, yep, he was.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
It was a whole process.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Also, it's like one of those like adopt a kid
who's got bugs on his.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Eyelids correct commercial, yeah, correct, Oh, and that's awesome. And
then the kid, you know, goes to the other side,
the great beyond. Yeah, and just for ten cents a
day you can feed.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
And is like, hey, I'll pay a lot more tents
a date.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
For that et phone.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
They pan over and this this uh, this thing's licking
his balls and you're trying to sell it.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
There you go for a.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
How would you gonna pay for this?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I don't know how much it costs, but it is
a bad ass line.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
For a penny a day, this lion can lick his
balls in your driveway too.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
He was not a lot. He was stuffed. He stuffed.
It was taxidermy.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
That's what I understand the process.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
So I don't tell me you're telling me they rescue
this thing, they put it in a sanctuary, you know,
the high fenced in park, which is not its natural habitat.
It dies, then they skin it afterwards.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Apparently where I got my lion from it was in
Africa and the taxidermists. The taxidermist is.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
Could you imagine? Could you imagine if they're like, no,
actually it was just how you're hanging out in Texas.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
But that's fine too.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Yeah, we met, We met Africa, Oklahoma.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Hey man, giving I'm just giving y'all the story. Many
Apparently he was a famed taxidermist. He was retiring, he
was getting up there in age.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
How do you get famous for being a taxidermist.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
It's a weird.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
A lot of different things. Is that it?
Speaker 7 (09:11):
I don't know, man, It's just how it was given
to me. Like, well, I stuffed an elephant, you know,
I make sure to that.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Stuff is is like a really quality taxidermist is a
very very well sought after I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Used a taxidermy.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I'm not.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
I'm not trying to make it seem either like that
I'm discounting the profession. I'm just saying, like i'd love
to know, like the qualifications of like who's the best?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Like how do you know? Like what are you looking
for in that guy?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I mean she found him whoever he was.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
He's gonna he's got to switch where it'll wink at
you from time to time.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I'm pretty sweet. He looked like he'd come to life.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
They needed to make it where like when you walk
in the room the thing looks so damn really you're.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
Like, oh god, it's censored, and his paw is up
like that, You're still he's like up in his life,
all is up.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
So so you So you guys have gotten a pet taxidermy,
like one got in a pet taxi. I get them cream.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
We've had yeah, we've had our cremated and.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
He's in the like they're in irons, like there remains.
I still have ironsurns, irons, irons urns.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
That's the insert in you.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Huh. I guess I couldn't do a taxidermy. I can't.
I don't that.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
The whole thing creeps me out, Like you walk into
a house and it's basically your dog, but they don't
do it.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Did you bury your dog? Is not how you bet
bury him?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Please? I feel a level I feel a level street comfort.
No trash picks up.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Trash pickup is every Tuesday that the street. It was
a Monday, it's twenty four hours later.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah, that's not funny. Put them in.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Put him in a glad bag in the street. Two
black guys because he was four fifteen at the time.
Bags and uh and they came by.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You crowed, and you still think this is fun You
visit him, well, what is the problem, right next to
the recycling can, right next to the yard wast and
recycling your dog.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
And then that's how you dispose of his body.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Hey, we pay for that trash. Do your job. I
had a dull corner, come get dresser. We put him
on the gurney, covered him up, wielded him out. Why
are you smiling up? Just what is wrong with you?
Speaker 7 (11:25):
By the way, the last when we had to put
down our boxer and it was terrible's right on Lisha's birthday,
we had done like a staycation thing. Came home and
it was just like we knew it was time. Like
she she was battling cancer at that point and she
had ripped open from a prior surgery. We had to
try to remove something to help, you know, help her
(11:45):
feel better prolonged life.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
And it was just it was a bloodbath. I mean
it was it was nasty what she was because she
was so uncomfortable.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
Yes, she scratched it open, like the whole and so
it was like blood, you know, pus all stuff. So
we have this vetinaryan come over and you know, dude,
I'm getting emotional and I just looked at the girl.
At one point I was like, so you just you
go around all these.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Different families every day.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I was like, you're just putting down dogs every day.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I'm like, what kind of life is that.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
I'm like questioning this young woman who's like nice enough
to come down and euthanize our dog.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
And probably one of the funnier moments was my mom
walks in and she's like, oh, I heard, I wanted
to say goodbye whatever.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
And then the vet starts feeding the dog chocolate and
she goes, oh, honey, you should do that kind of look.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
The bet looked at my mom like, let the dog
enjoy chocolate.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
If we're putting it, we're putting it down in twenty seconds, like,
let the dog enjoy it. But she's trying to like
reprimand this vetinary and you're supposed to feed dog's chocolate.
She like didn't really understand the process of what was happening.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Oh man, that's this is a morbid. That's all right man,
you know ga, the nerve of you to stimulate this conversation,
like listen, this is you know, all just because that
man wanted to be warm and one of these these
cold market you know, places to play.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Where the hell was he at?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
By the way, probably an okayz.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Yeah, I'd assume that was a home home game. I
can't imagine he traveled with that.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah, and you did ask, Lorraina did ask earlier. Hey,
By the way, I've always wondered this.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Back when you guys were playing, was there a strict
code about what you had to wear to a game?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
To and from a game depended on the coach? YEA
coach would make that, Like, but yeah, you had to
wear a suit and tie more often than not. Some
of them you could wear sweats, walking suit walking walking suits. Yeah,
that's big. That was a big thing, walking.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
The walking suit.
Speaker 8 (13:52):
Yea, It's like it was like the biggest I mean,
there's so many things about the wa A walking suit
is Jonas.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
No, it doesn't you don't have a it's not a coat.
It's like it's almost like a shirt. Maybe it's like.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
A button down long shirt that you wear out.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
You don't see it looks like a suit coat, but
it's not.
Speaker 7 (14:11):
Yeah, yeah, it's like a shirt. It's more comfortable. And
then the pants in the exact what they're called walkers
and the walking suit and then and the pants are
the exact same like fabin material coat.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
It's like it's like one big piece of whatever material
it is is what these dudes will wear.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
And the funny thing is they they cloth their guys be.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
Charged them like the exact same amount is basically like
what a suit is.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
He's like, now you're gonna walk it suit. It's about
the same price.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, they got short sleeves, they got long sleeves. Could
turn it into short a short set.
Speaker 8 (14:49):
Like all right, I gotta ask the question, is this
a black or a white thing? I never saw many
white guys were walking suits.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I was about to say it was a very stereotypical
it for pro pro athletes. Yeah the year I was like,
what is that? But there was some cats that would
tuck them in. They would tuck the shirt in.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I never saw anyone.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
They have them all with some gators, and I was like, hell, yeah,
that's a looks a.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Bit just so we're hell, I'm telling the truth here.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
I I googled walking suits for men and I went
to images and it's literally all black guys at entire
page of black guys. That guy might be Puerto Rican,
but I mean, you know, we're splitting hairs here.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I think it may have been one lineman that I
know that had one, maybe two, but it.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Was it was on our side. We claimed him. Yeah, probably.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
But here's the thing is, for anyone who saw like
or it was worn a walking suit, you know, it
is a thousand times more comfortable than actually wearing a suit,
or actually wearing like dressed hands and a jack and
a button up and a belt and all that.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
And that was like the gid.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
I was like, damn, this shouldn't even that shouldn't even count,
Like these duds are getting away with the dress code
just because they're wearing walking suits.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
But it was a thing, man, it still is.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
They look comfortable. I don't know that it's still a
thing like long suits. Long suits were in when I
was in the league, and I know that's not in anymore.
Like I'm talking like down mid thigh.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Did they do it for the draft kind of making
fun of it the other year.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah, it was like Lebron and Carmelo and all those guys.
Dwyane Wade, I believe.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I thought. I thought a recent class just did that
and they were making fun of that.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I don't know. I don't know, but.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I look this up. I feel like I saw pictures
of like them.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Suits is a trip though. Old school suits are a
trip man compared to nowadays. I remember Chris Weber had one.
I believe long suits like juke suits. Yeah, you know,
like like Cab calloway. But you know what, that's the
way fashion works. It's going to come back into style. Baggy, baggy,
baggy jeans are coming back. I don't like it. I
(17:07):
don't like. I don't like the trending away from the
tight super tight. I don't like.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I don't care what dudes wear.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
But yeah, I'm with you on that, Like you go
from yoga pants to baggy jeans.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
I'm not with the right ladies.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
You're working in the wrong direction.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
It's the wrong direction. It's weird.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
What's on stuff like that's your Nope?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Do you hear that, Lorena? Yes, I heard, And actually
I have mixed feelings on it. Why.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
I get the comfort aspect of it, but like, are
yoga pants not comfortable?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
No? I love yoga pants. I wear my workout pants
all the time. That should be every day. But sometimes
I see ladies who are wearing yoga pants and I'm like,
you don't even do yoga, And I can tell oh damn,
So you know, are good for people?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Lorraine A Smith yoga pants shaming people?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
That's crazy because she's skinny. That's wild. I can't stand
when skinny people, naturally skinny people make fun of us.
It is. It is the wildest thing ever, the wildest
thing ever. Man. It's a real struggle, man, all right,
it's a real struggle. It's all right, Okay. Have you
(18:16):
ever tried to gain weight and not been able to
gain weight? It's not it's not a problem I deal with. Man.
Man is fighting. My son is fighting to get three
more pounds on and keep the pounds on. Right now,
(18:36):
I said, son, there will come a time where the
Errington Jene kicks in. Do not fight to try to
gain weight? Just eat the way you're supposed to eat,
take your protein, do your workouts. That gene will kick in.
You'll be all right. I fight it every day. Now,
(19:01):
everybody out there listening, y'all think I'm doing a bit
right now, I'm not. I fight wait every day. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
We love it, man, But you are not obese. You
need to stop this.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Kind of puzzling. Why that's the approach you take with
self value. I just don't understand why you guys like
I get it. I've I've learned to accept it. I fight.
I fight it and and one day maybe potentially I win.
You know I'll win against weight. You look great. I know.
(19:37):
No you're lying. No, it's not true. I taxidermy you.
Thank you. Yeah. Tell Trisha that I'll put a bit
in for that. That would be interesting, like like the
Elephant Man Bones for real. Two pros. Fox Sports Radio,

LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming
up a little over fifteen minutes from now, we are
going to hand out an award on this show. That'll
be yours right here on FSR. But we did get
a little bit of an update, kind of oh from
Aaron Rodgers and the situation involving him the Steelers and
(21:18):
what his plans are for the future. He was on
the Pat McAfee show starring aj Hawk. Yesterday, he discussed.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
And had some kind words for his former coach now
current coach of the Steelers, Mike McCarthy, and also where
things are at from a contract standpoint with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Mike's one of the great guys in the league. Just
an absolutely exceptional human being with a huge heart. We
had a lot of great years together, a lot of fun.
I loved my time with Mike over the years. Obviously
there were some times it's like, you know, it's like
a big brother where you sometimes you love him, sometimes
you pissed at him. But deep down there's so much
love for Mike and appreciation for the time we spent together.
(21:57):
I've talked to Mike, I've talked to Omar. There's been
no deadline that's been you know, that's been put in
front of me. There's no contract, you know, offer or anything.
So there's nothing that I'm you know, having to debate
between I'm, you know, free agent and you know again
I'm I'm enjoying my time with my wife and enjoying
(22:19):
this part of the off season, and and you know,
I think there's conversations to be add down the line.
But but right now, I'm not not There hasn't been
any progressive conversations.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I don't want to sound the alarm because I know
that there's still time. But if you're the Steelers with
the new league year starting next week, wouldn't you want
an answer at some point or have some sort of
clarity pretty quickly here on who's going to be your
quarterback next year? Like it feels like there's going to
be some options, and I would assume you'd want to
(22:55):
get that handled and get that straightened out so you
can kind of move forward with the off season plans, y'all.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
Like you, My thoughts are, yeah, you want some clarity,
but I think more that clarity is gonna come at
the draft. So you know, either you make a move
to try to take a guy like Ty Simpson, or
you could say you're going to bring in another free
agent or trade for a guy.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
But the reality is, if Rogers.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
Decides to come back, he's the guy, probably even regardless
of who you draft.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
So I don't know.
Speaker 7 (23:32):
I mean, I think that's that's the hard part about
all this is you're kind of hanging in limbo if
you're Pittsburgh and there's elements of that that played out
last year. I think the only difference is now, you know,
you've got the same guy who knows the city, knows
the organization, he knows the personnel, he knows the offense,
even though it's new to everyone else, not new to him.
So there's all those elements that would make it easier
(23:55):
depending on how long it takes him to make a decision.
But I think it's hard, and it's hard to want
to say, hey, we have to close that door, but
at the same time try moving on too. You know,
you've got to be able to find a way of
threatening the needle where if you can get him back,
you get him back, but you also have.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
The plan of the future.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
And I think that might be one of the harder
conversations too, to have, is if you bring in Rodgers
and you still spend a first round draft pick on
the guy who's going to replace him after this year,
does he want that? Does he want to go to
a situation where it's like that. You know, if you're
Minnesota and you're selling him, if you're Kevin O'Connell on,
you come in here for a year, let JJ McCarthy
sit watch develop you know, learn from you, then we
(24:35):
feel like there's a better chance for him.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Being able to be the quarterback we hope he can be.
You know, that might be their game plan.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
Maybe that's more attractive to Aaron Rodgers because he knows
what he's dealing with, Like he knows he's the guy
for the year, he knows what they're looking for out
of the guy behind him, and you're just trying to
win as many games as possible to.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Get to a super Bowl. So every situation is different.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
I don't know that you know, Pittsburgh has that guy
I am behind him and they took Will Howard last
year in the sixth round. I'm not sure they feel
like he's you know, the air apparent of the future.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
So, uh, it's it's just a more.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
Gray situation I think for for what the plan would
be in Pittsburgh all around. You know that team they
just released John new Smith, you know. So, so what
does this like roster really look like even if Rogers
comes back, Like, are you just kind of running it
back with the same group you had last year for
the most part?
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
My first my first take on it was the fact
that Aaron Rodgers is saying there is no contract and
there has been no discussions about there being one. It
doesn't take a lot of time to get a contract
done if you want to get it done in the
interest of time. But wouldn't you be concerned that another
(25:51):
team is going to swoop in and take them away?
I like that was my first thought, Like, if you
really wanted Aaron Rodgers, I'm back and play for your team.
I don't think that you not have conversations with him
and not have a contract, like kind of you know,
(26:12):
looming that to me. I almost feel like that triggers like,
are you saying, Okay, we're going to let him test
the market. If nobody comes and takes them, then we'll
offer them what we're going to offer him, And that's
what it's going to be, with no leverage other than
to retire. I just I'm not sure how to decipher
(26:37):
and interpretate the idea. Interpret the idea of there not
being a contract and no conversations going on when you're
seeing shaking and moving when when you want somebody at
this point, there's an aggressive move to try to position
yourself to get that person on your team. And that
(26:59):
doesn't sound like that's the case here. It makes me
wonder does Aaron Rodgers even want to return to football,
And maybe that's the bigger question is maybe they know
how he feels about moving into the future, and maybe
that's why they're not in a hurry to have that
conversation with him.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Do you think he knows the answer one way or
the other? I would and I don't know, you guys
have been through this, but I would think that by
now there's been enough time away from the season that
you're assessing, you know, what, body feels good?
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Why not? Like if he was just shutting the door completely,
I feel like he would have already had the answer,
Like it would have already been I'm good here, I
got everything out of this career I could possibly want.
I'm ready to move on.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
I'm happily married, ready to move on live that second
part of my life.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
It didn't sound like he closed the door. It sounds
like he's still interested.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
In Yeah, that's why I think. I think he's gonna play,
And I just I wonder, so what's the.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
What is almost like he's communicating to the Steelers, like
you know, there's been no contract offered, there's been no
discussions of it. He didn't mention other teams. I think
it was more specific to Mike McCarthy and his time
in Pittsburgh and the GM. He mentioned those things. He
didn't even bring up other teams. So I'm just curious,
(28:19):
is he is he thinking or hoping to potentially return
to the Steelers or are they the only option or
or are they an option? Because are they not? Are
they not an option?
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Brady made mention of, you know, the guys are waiting
to see what's going on in Minnesota kind of that's
the first shoot to drop.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
It is what the Vikings plan are. And I wonder
if if the option was there and the Vikings were like,
hey man, you know we're interested. We kicked the tires
on this last year. What do you think?
Speaker 4 (28:52):
I wonder if the lore of Justin Jefferson Kevin O'Connell
would be enough to pull him away from the experience
he ada in Pittsburgh in a familiar name and a
familiar guy in Mike McCarthy, Like I wonder, I wonder
how appealing and how attractive that opportunity would be.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I don't know, is he concerned about Minnesota? Do all
beat up there?
Speaker 7 (29:14):
We had that conversation earlier, so.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I mean, in all seriousness, it's called in Minnesota. It's
very cool all Americas.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Though, Do you think there's any concern from Rogers too
of going there simply because it like it follows the
Brett Farrv path and he he already had to kind
of wear those shoes and then those shoes kind of
became his own during his time in Green Bay. I mean,
he's already done that. And they went to the New
York Jets, like he was like all right, like we're
we're falling in the exact same playbook that Brett Farv did.
(29:48):
I wonder if there's some hesitation with that for his legacy,
because I think as he's gotten older, he's thought a
lot more about himself, his legacy, what he's leaving behind
to this game. And I also think there's just a
bigger question of and he's the he's the type of
person too that's reflective where he'd ask himself.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Like what am I chasing?
Speaker 7 (30:09):
And am I chasing another Super Bowl? So I so
I could be one of those guys who has two
am I chasing? My love for the game at this point,
you know, like like that's a legitimate question. Does he
still love the game. Does he still want to put
his body through that. I mean, he's played for a
long time. There might be parts of him that says,
maybe I'm done, Maybe I want to move on. Maybe
(30:30):
I'm I'm I'm okay with breaking up or divorcing what
this marriage to football that I've had, and moving on
with the next, you know, step in my life. I
just I wonder, you know, because he's the type of
guy that has a lot of these probably internal thoughts.
I wonder how all that stuff's hitting him at this point,
(30:51):
because I'm sure he's thinking about the end, because he
cares about how things are going to end, and he
maybe is okay without it ended last year PI. Maybe
he wants to go back running back for another opportunity,
or maybe he says to himself, You're like, I'm good
like I I, you know, have my memories with Mike.
We won a Super Bowl in Green Bay like that
(31:12):
that was good enough for me, and I don't want
to risk going to a new place for another year
and starting over again like that in Minnesota. Or I
don't want to go back and taint my feelings towards
Mike McCarthy. For whatever this is gonna be in round
two in Pittsburgh. You know, he's, like I said, he's
a deep, you.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Know thinker like that.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
I think we've all witnessed that from his interviews on
the Pat mcavie show.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Uh, I'm curious as to what his retirement looks like
if this is if this is it and he's done,
does he just weed? I'm not talking posts retirement sorry
activities or dooring activit active activities. I'm saying, is he
(31:58):
gonna call for a are they going to do a
press conference? Like how I just wonder how does he depart?
How does he depart?
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Because Marshawn Lynch had the picture of the shoes on
the telephone wire, right, So what is Rogers?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Uh? What's his move? My guy from Kansas City the
d N His was pretty dope.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Oh what is it?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
What's the defense? Defensive end's name? He rode off and
with his horse. Oh Jared Allen, Jared Allen, Jared as
pretty good. That was a good one. Like, I just
wonder what his you know, what his departure looks like.
Some guys just go and it's like they go. He
just walks into a hole. Like we have conversations about
Lebron James and him returning to Cleveland for the you know,
(32:44):
the retirement. Yeah, that's that's that's like we're talking about
him going on his farewell tour. What does that look
like for Aaron Rodgers because you would have to assume,
like there's going to be a presser. I mean, he's
one of the great quarterbacks of all time. You assume
that there's going to be a celebration of him if
(33:05):
he decides he doesn't want to play anymore. I don't
think he goes press conference. I really don't. Does he
do it on Pat McAfee? Does he get the exclusive?
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
That's because I've thought about that, like, how would he
walk away? Because he doesn't want anything to do with
the media. He said as much yesterday. I'm not doing
any media. I'm disappearing. I'm gone after my career is over.
You know, people are weird. They think, you know his
his wife is fake and man, I generated.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
For him get off the grid. Yeah, I don't know
what you like. Y'all got a couple more years with
me and I'm up. Yeah, ain't never going here from me? Really,
I ain't never gonnast up I'm to be out of here,

(36:33):
It is too bad that Anthony Davis doesn't get more
more coverage, and there's a lot of time spent on you.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Know, the Lebron drama and all the other you know, Zion.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
Williamson getting fat shamed, because it does feel like Anthony
Edwards is one of the few throwbacks in the league.
He's a beast man, he's awesome. He is a beast
and you know there's going to be a time there
there will come a time where.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
The new guard will will start to emerge and and
be you know, be those that new next tier, next
level superstar that's that's connected to to the league. But
right now, I mean, it's just not it's not going
to play out that way, that's all. But it's okay.
Things happen.
Speaker 7 (37:25):
So let me ask you this, how much of this
is excuse me as a byproduct of the league, like
not doing more to highlight Anthony Edwards as one of
those next faces. Like I feel like every league has
its opportunity to kind of shape a narrative or shape
how they present the game and who's who's got next?
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Like who is it? Who is it next?
Speaker 7 (37:45):
And we've we've talked about that before with Anthony Edwards
just because he does have an older, like old school mentality,
different style to him. How much of that is is
on the league for not kind of anointing him as
that or how much of is that is a stranglehold
that love Lebron has on the league before he leaves
of like past the rains to someone else.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
The coverage of the league is more about the drama
and the storyline drama than it is about the performance
of the players.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
It just right, we know that, But who's to blame it?
Speaker 7 (38:16):
The means is that, Adam Silver, is that the players
who have control like Lebron.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
I think that the hot take culture of sports media
has really thrived on covering the NBA.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Where yeah, but okay, but that and why is it?
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Why is it a thrive on covering other sports? Then?
Speaker 4 (38:34):
Because I I, for whatever reason, the Jordan Lebron debate,
you don't have a lot of those in the NFL,
Like there's not a it's like you don't individualize a
team sport like they do in the NBA. In the
NFL will recognize a team like we tried to do
it a little bit with the Belichick Brady stuff, but
they played you know, they were together for so long
(38:55):
and there were storylines there, you know, Lebron and Jordan
that that's been going on forever, and it's almost like
that carried over into all of these other like you
can't just have two great players. You got to pick
one or the other. And it's just the coverage of
the league is so divisive that they swim in that
world like there's not a you can't have two things,
(39:17):
you got to pick one or the other. It's just
the hot take culture of it. And I think the
coverage of it has really I think it turns a
lot of people off. Like people spent so much time
ripping I remember when James Harden was was at his peak,
and people spend so much ah style of plays this
and it's boring and it's that And the guy who's
averaging over thirty a game, there's two players in history
(39:40):
that we're doing that, And all in all you would
hear about is, yeah, well, look.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
How he's getting those thirty points a game. Look how
he's doing it. You can't.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
There's just too much negative coverage of the league, and
I think I think it's exhausting for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Who just like maybe they're just hungry for like who's
a great player? Like can we can we get a
great player like Anthony? Anthony Edwards is a great player,
he's fun to watch and he's a throwback. How much
does winning have to do with it? Like I feel
like last year was a golden moment, a golden opportunity.
(40:14):
All those names we mentioned, the Kobe's, the the Shacks,
the the Jordans and stuff, like they had to take
it they had to take it, and even if you
had to go. You know, he made it to the
finals in Cleveland, but I mean when he went to Miami,
he took it. He took that mantle. He had a
(40:35):
lot of hype, but he lived up to the hype.
He exceeded the hype. I just I don't know, man.
I think I think Anthony Edwards had the opportunity to
take it last year in the playoffs. He let it
get away. Can he regain it? I don't know, but
I think to become that next level guy where they
talk about you that way, you gotta you gotta come
for it, you gotta go go get it.
Speaker 4 (40:54):
I mean the problem is then Wenby came around, the
Spurs are back the thunder.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
It's a tough one.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
It's a definitely change to get the guard hour three
