Got a pull question, Play of the day, stat of
the day. We had some drama yesterday when Adam Schefter
joined us. We'll talk about that conversation that I had
with him. Also, if I said to you a week
ago at this time, you had to make a bet,
is Aaron Rodgers going to be the starting quarterback for
(00:45):
the Packers this upcoming season? You probably would have said, no,
he's not. We had reporters, We had Rob Damovski been
covering the team for a couple of decades. He said
five five percent chance. The Broncos were in the mix,
the Raiders in the mix. The Niners attempted to make
a trade for Aaron Rodgers. The Rams inquired about Aaron Rodgers.
(01:09):
This was a poorly kept secret and the Rams back
in January inquired after the NFC title game from what
I'm told, and then yesterday Adam Schefter, because I just
wanted information. All I wanted was how did we get
to this point? Because if you said to me today,
but then I've been in the minority, who is the
(01:30):
starting quarterback for the Packers opening weekend this year? I
would still say Aaron Rodgers because things are quiet. Remember
what happened with Russell Wilson and the seahawnks. Russ comes
on the show, He's got something to say. Few things
after that then, Yet sources saying Russ is saying this
(01:51):
he wants out here are the teams his agent gave
us the teams he could get traded to Seattle. Eventually
got around to talking about this. Everything's calmed down right,
Russ is going to be in Seattle this year. I
don't know if you can smooth things over with Aaron
Rodgers and the Packers, but I will say this, the
(02:16):
quietness speaks volumes both sides right now. Now. The media
hasn't stopped because we're still looking for breadcrumbs here like anything.
But do I think Aaron Rodgers, if you said you
got to bet, I would say Aaron Rodgers is still
the starting quarterback for the Packers this upcoming season. Now
(02:37):
last Friday, if you ask, I think I might have
said at the time, I just don't see him being traded.
That doesn't mean he can't be won't be. But I
know that both sides realize this is how you win
a championship, and maybe the Packers have to walk back
some things that they've done or said, and then maybe
Rogers has to do that. But you know, Adam Schefter,
(03:02):
I think mischaracterized what he had a week ago Thursday.
This was a collection of information there. This wasn't a
breaking news story, but it was portrayed that way. Therefore,
we all went into the draft going Packers could trade
Aaron Rodgers tonight, And then we started watching teams. Carolina
(03:22):
didn't take a quarterback, Denver didn't take a quarterback, The
Bears are trading up for a quarterback. Then we started
to speculate, Okay, well, maybe you had to get certain
draft players for the Packers to go. If you get
Patrick Certen and you give us three first round picks,
then you got you got our interest here, you got
(03:42):
our attention. But it was framed as huge, breaking news.
It was on the bottom line, and I'm watching NFL
Live when Cheft came on and he was reading off
his phone, and I thought, this is breaking news. Well,
it wasn't breaking news. From the stand point of if
this is an accumulation of information, this wasn't breaking news.
(04:06):
And I think if you're going to summarize the off season,
which Adam was doing, then it wasn't. It wasn't characterized
that way. Therefore, I think we thought something was truly
happening in the moment. Here's Adam Schefter where he discusses
the Aaron Rodgers report and I asked him, did you
(04:28):
choose to drop the Aaron Rodgers news on draft night?
That is actually that is absolutely accurate, correct, But it
wasn't something that you got information about. No, Okay, okay, no,
there was nothing that morning that came in. Said to me, yeah,
he wants out. You should report this like it was
(04:50):
going on all off season. You just keep hearing it,
and there was more and more talk, and now they're
starting to be on a Rodgers talking. I said, you
know what, this isn't gonna wait much longer. Let's just
go and just have to be drafted because I wondered,
when you said it didn't come from Rogers, didn't come
from the Packers, and it's being characterized differently. I was wondering, Okay,
you're not going to tell me your source. You know,
(05:11):
what was the motive behind that? Yeah, yeah, there's not
a source. No, no, I know, but I know that now.
But we're just finding this out right now. This I said,
I said, we're an NFL said, I said it, you know,
I mean, I don't know. People want to believe whatever
they want to believe. It was just an accumulation of
information throughout the course of the entire all season. The
(05:36):
tweet in the headline were a little bit more inflammatory,
But you know, was this premeditated? Did he have information?
You know, speaking with Adam after the show, off the record,
we found out, you know that he wasn't going to
Cleveland thinking that he's reporting Aaron Rodgers is going to
be traded. But I think once the Niner story got out,
(05:59):
then I think he decided that the time was right now.
It just wasn't a breaking news story that he had
new information because he said it was an accumulation of
information in the offseason, and as fans and look I'm
in the business obviously, and I know how these stories
are vetted at ESPN. If Adam is going to break something,
(06:20):
it has to go through the assignment desk. They have
to know, they have to be ready, and that's how
you cover a story. Whenever we would break a story,
you had to go through the assignment desk, And there
were times when I would have a story and they'd say,
we need another source on this, and then we wouldn't
run that story. But Adam has built up that cache
(06:41):
hell's credit where he could probably just say, look, this
is what I'm hearing and they sign off on it.
But they don't want to be blindsided. But I think
just trying to understand you got this information, when did
you decide that you needed or you had enough to
break this story? So three pm on draft Day, and
(07:01):
that's what I was curious about. What was the new information?
And you have you know, the entire NFL media is there.
This is an offseason super Bowl for the NFL media.
But that's all I was asking for yesterday was clarity,
give me the backstory. Here was Adam thinking he was
(07:24):
going to be scooped on the biggest story of the year.
If Aaron Rodgers was going to be traded, wanted out
of Green Bay. I think we just talked about how
I questioned the timing of it and how it was framed.
I don't question Adam and his abilities. He's the best
at doing this, but I just wanted to know. That's
(07:47):
what I was trying to figure out. I was trying
to figure out what is the backstory and can can
he help clarify that? And that's all that was yesterday.
But I think what you know, what we were trying
to figure out in the moment and as we went along,
because he said, look, that didn't come from Aaron Rodgers
and it didn't come from the Packers. So that's what
(08:10):
I was trying to figure out here. But I don't
know where we are today right now Friday morning, I
feel like I know less than I did a week ago,
because I still feel that Aaron Rodgers is going to
be the Packers starting quarterback. But nobody's talking. And I've
(08:31):
been in this business long enough to know when it's
quiet things are happening. Now that might be, hey, let's
not put it out there, we'll do it internally, we'll
do it professionally. And if you don't want to be here,
then we'll send you on your way, like it could
be happening that way. I just get the feeling that
(08:52):
this has Maybe there's a little more negotiation talking going
on behind the scenes, and maybe it's not Rodgers and
the Packers, maybe it's his agent who's talking to the Packers.
But the Packers know, you want to win a super
Bowl in the next two years, this is the best
way to go about it. And Aaron Rodgers knows if
(09:13):
he goes to Denver, he's not winning a super Bowl,
not anytime soon. You're not even the best team in
your own division if he went to Denver. But understand
how this kind of explodes with Tasta size, because all
of a sudden, if you're a Bears fan, a Lions fan,
of Vikings fan, and Aaron Rodgers maybe out of the conference,
(09:37):
out of the division, imagine if you're a Denver fan.
So this is how everybody jumped in on it because
it affected the entire NFL. Everybody who's thinking, Wow, who
could get Rogers? What do you have to give up
to get Rogers? Hey, we don't have to face Rogers
twice a year. Like everybody's has some stake in this.
(10:00):
All of a sudden, you start to go, gosh, if
he goes to Denver, what's that mean? You could he
do what Peyton Manning did? Do they have enough talent there?
You know? Are the Raiders involved in this? What's that
mean for David Carr, Derek Carr? Like, those were the
things that we're processing here in the moment. I just
(10:21):
think it was framed incorrectly, that's all. And then it exploded.
And look, I think we wish for stories like this.
You want breaking news, you want trades, we want action.
This was going to be like, Wow, this is an
incredible draft, all this talent, all these quarterbacks. The Niners
(10:42):
are going up, who are they taking? Aaron Rodgers is
going to be traded? And we had all those other things.
We just didn't have Aaron Rodgers traded. But if something's
going to happen, it's not going to happen in the
next two weeks, next three weeks. It'll probably be less
than a month from now we're going to find out. Plus,
(11:03):
here's another thing we haven't seen Jordan Love be the
number one quarterback play in a game. If all of
a sudden, Green Bay realizes hey, we got something here,
or you know, we put him into live action. He
played pretty well. You know, that's a different twist to this, Yeah,
paul it doesn't even compare to like Garoppolo with Tom Brady.
(11:27):
They took Garoppolo and he actually got in three ball
games and played well. When Brady was suspended, there was
at least a little bit of a check of what
this guy's about, and in those short stint he looked fantastic.
And that's why the Niners wanted to make that trade,
because they at least had a sample size. Nobody has
any sample size with Jordan Love other than what he
did at Utah State, and that's not enough to make
(11:49):
a deal. This program brought to you by M Drive

prime with him drive. It's an interesting show yesterday, certainly
interesting After the show social media, they wanted answers. So
(12:11):
did I, So did I And there are still things
that I haven't had answered yet. I have questions about
all of this. And look, I said to Paulie, if
Adam wants to clarify anything, you know, He's more than
welcome to join us, and I have great respect for him.
I just think the way this was framed was not
(12:36):
It wasn't fair to the story because if you have
no new information, then it's not breaking news. But if
you have information and you say this is from league
sources and the team, but then you say the information
is not from the team or Rogers, that's where I
had to disconnect. I was trying to figure that out. Yes, boy,
(12:57):
it's really fascinating watching social media yesterday of how people
in both Green Bay in the entire state of Wisconsiner
are dealing with this because the past week a lot
of sentiment has gone against Aaron Rodgers as a source
of a story or being a malcontent or whatever it
may be. They put his video up with him at
a baseball game and people are booing. I wonder if
people will kind of like backtrack on that. Hardcore Packers fans,
(13:19):
I just want to be fair to the story. As
much as you like the action, the possibility. What if
he's traded, what's that mean for Jordan Love, What's that
mean for this team? What's that mean for the AFC?
Like there's so many things attached to it. But as
much as you can have wishful reporting, I have to
have legitimate reporting and just ask the questions and try
(13:41):
to find answers here. Yeah, McLeman. The funny thing is
next week is a schedule release. If Aaron Rodgers isn't
a Packer or a Raider, can you I'm sorry, Bronco
or a Raider. Can you imagine how boring those teams
are gonna look now? Like the Broncos of that Aaron Rodgers,
they might as well not have a season. Well, that
changes the entire TV lineup. If let's say Aaron Rodgers
got traded to the Broncos, then you know they're going
(14:04):
to be featured more often Sunday Night Football or Monday
Night Football, Thursday Night. You're like, you're gonna want to
showcase those things. Yeah, pol I saw an article a
few years about scheduling, and it's so nuanced that let's
say the Chicago Bears and Chicago Bears are not an
exciting team nationally, but now they have Fields as a
possible quarterback. They would look at Fields and the Bears
and say, we''ll schedule them in early December because maybe
(14:27):
by then he's a starting quarterback. No offense to Andy Dalton,
but they're not gonna put Andy Dalton on Monday Night
Football in September. They look at that nuanced. They don't
schedule on backup quarterbacks. Why would they consider wow? Wow? Yeah.
By the way, there have been reports of the Packers
making Aaron Rodgers the highest paid quarterback in the league,
and there was one with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. I
(14:50):
think the Athletic had some information on that going back
to just a couple of days ago. You know, from
May fifth, the Athletic had a report on Aaron Rodgers
with a contract offer, and I don't know what they're offering.
You know, are they going to give him a three
year deal and he's going to make fifty million dollars
a year it's guaranteed. I don't know if we have numbers.
(15:13):
You also have speculation on what the Packers would want
in return for Aaron Rodgers. So that doesn't mean that
they're actually actively seeking this, but you know, you start
to get a report or speculation or hey, I'm thinking
this is what it would take, and then you start
to look at, well, wait, look at what the Bears
(15:36):
offered Seattle for Russell Wilson. Well, that's what the Packers
are probably going to want to ask for in return.
I'm not even there yet. Until I know the Packers
are actively trying to trade him, I'll treat this the
same way with Seattle and Russell Wilson, because Seattle wasn't
trading Russ. And until I hear that, Green Bay says,
(16:02):
we throw our arms up. We can't do anything with this.
This is this is at an impass. We have to
trade him, then we'll react accordingly. But I'm still in
the minority here. I think Aaron Rodgers is still your quarterback. Yes, McLevin,
you know it's a gain. I'm sorry it's so unfair,
but it's fun to speculate about which teams would call.
(16:23):
If you take the Russell Wilson teams and the Deshaun
Watson teams. Did you say the Dolphins call or something?
I'm sorry it was reported the Dolphins. What'd they call
for Aaron Rodgers? At least make that call as a
general manager. Why not? Well, the Dolphins had made an
inquiry about Deshaun Watson, and the Dolphins made an inquiry
with Russell Wilson. From what I was told, do they
pick up the phone. I guess you do. I mean
(16:46):
why not? I mean, do the Packers not have caller ID?
And then they'll go, who's calling? I'm gonna pick it up. Well,
here's a three h five number. Oh it's the Dolphins. Yes,
I do love the semantics and posturing of general manners.
We accepted phone calls. We did not engage in any discussions.
(17:08):
We were offered this. We did not offer anything. It's
all semantics. With gims. You can't say you shopped a player.
You could say you accepted calls and there was no
interest on either side. Also, it's been reported that Rogers,
you know, aside from the long term commitment to him,
said that he didn't he turned down this offer to
be the highest paid quarterback if it was going to
(17:30):
be in Green Bay. Sorry, I don't know where. I
don't know where we stand today, truly don't. And I
don't have information from either side. I don't have a
source on either side other than somebody who told me
six weeks ago about that didn't think that Rogers was
going to be in Green Bay after this upcoming season.
That's the only information I have as an insider. Don't
(17:54):
have anything left yes, he could that be the kind
of thing with the contract situation where the money is
big but the year commitment is off. Could be. It
could be we're gonna give you a two year deal. Yeah,
two years, blah blah blah million, but he wants three.
I'm guessing if I'm Rogers, I want to take away
(18:14):
the whole tenure of Jordan Love as a Green Bay Packer,
just so they admit, you guys made a mistake. Don't
bet against me. So we have spite seasons coming up here.
Help stack on two seasons out of spite. I don't
have any information on it other than trying to understand
the personalities here. I don't know the Packers personality, but
(18:36):
I'm aware of Aaron Rodgers personality. Yes, mclove, you were
right from day one, and they have traded Jordan Love
for a third round pick and been done with this. Yes,
I'm sorry poor Jordan Love. Look at the shoes he
has to fill down for whatever he does play. But
here's the Packers. Do you admit you made the mistake? Yes? Now,
(18:56):
if this is a new GM, you could go in
there and go, hey, I don't know what you guys
were thinking, but Jordan, we have some nice parting gifts.
You're welcome back. You know we're gonna send you. We're
gonna send you someplace. But you know what happened when
the Jets got a new GM, a new coach, they
got rid of Sam Darnold. They're like, up, Sam, see
you And Sam is more decorated than Jordan Love. Yeah. Seed,
(19:22):
if five of the packards, I'm like, we didn't make
a mistake. We took who we thought was the best
player in the draft. But we've worked everything out with Aaron. Yeah,
don't worry. We're working things out with Aaron. It's the
media who's running with this and spinning that's out of control.
We're actually good. We're just negotiating a contract standard everyday
NFL business. Yes, mclovin, you know what the problem is.
It's this history that they've had two quarterbacks since nineteen
(19:44):
ninety three that they do. You think they thought, hey,
we did this with Aaron and Brett and it worked
out perfectly. Let's they must have thought that when they
drafted Jordan Love. I'll go back to what I said,
they bet against Aaron Rodg because he had what twenty
five touchdowns twenty six touchdowns back to back seasons. That's
(20:06):
those are off years for him, and they're probably thinking,
if he has another one of these, we can probably
get out from underneath this and then we make, you know,
pave the way for Jordan Love. Now, is Jordan Love
ready this year? Probably not. We're not going to know
until the following year. But they were betting against Aaron Rodgers.
(20:26):
It feels like because if you knew that he was
going to if I said to the Packers, Rogers going
to be the MVP, by the way, would they have
taken Jordan Love. I'm going to say, no, you wouldn't have.
We'll take a break. I don't know what we accomplished,
but it feels like I know less than I did
(20:47):
a week ago. At this time. We'll come up with
a poll question. I got our Play of the day,

a story like this, and then the kind of the
ebbs and flows of what happens with information, speculation, rumor
(22:12):
innuendo with Aaron Rodgers, and as we sit here today
at nine twenty eight Eastern time, I don't know anything
more than I did last week. It feels like but
it feels like less of a big story. It doesn't
mean the packers aren't trying to trade him or he
doesn't want out. It doesn't feel like it's immediate. It's eminent,
(22:36):
and that's what it felt like a week ago, and
maybe maybe it's irreparable now. Last week it felt that way.
It doesn't feel that way to me. And I could
be completely off base with this because I'm just going
on gut feeling and instinct and what I'm hearing from
both sides or what I'm not hearing right now from
(22:58):
either side. These things have a way of working themselves out.
There are times when you go, oh, there's no way
that these two can coexist, and maybe that's the case.
I just get the feeling that this might not be
as big today as it was a week ago. Eight

(23:19):
dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show mclovin
do the honors with a pole question? Actually, I want
to turn to PAULI because he said he had a
would you rather career. A question that dying be here. Oh,
Albert Pooholes got released by the Angels, and I guess
the question I would have would be, did you know
that Albert Pooholes was still playing? Non Angels fans, you
(23:44):
might not realize that Albert Pooholes was still in baseball,
but when you're not in the postseason. He had this
unbelievable run with the Cardinals. I mean, he had a
ten year run that would rival any player in the
history of the sport. But it's the next ten years
and this was the cautionary tale. When you sign somebody
to a ten year deal and they're thirty one at
(24:06):
the time. That's why you're seeing teams sign these players
to these long term contracts when they're much younger. Don't
sign anybody to a long term deal late twenties, early thirties.
You know, when you're twenty four and you want to
give somebody a you know, twelve year deal, Okay, I'd
like to have a little more sample size. I think
(24:29):
Tati's probably got with fewer games played. You know that
the contract, if you look at the you know you're
trying to ratio that. I mean, I think he's a
lot of fun. But you know, would I'd like to
see more than I don't know, two hundred games. I would,
(24:52):
but you know, you take that risk there, which I
don't know why you have to sign him up for
that amount of time. You know, maybe you look at
it and you go, Okay, eventually this is going to
be a good deal for us or both sides here,
and maybe it will be maybe the Phillies with Bryce Harper,
that'll be a bargain. Maybe Mike Trout going to be
(25:13):
a bargain there. But there are the other guys, the
cautionary tales where you go, guys, they're still paying that guy,
and that's where you have to be nervous. And what
position do you play when you're handing out those contracts
as well? I mean, Pooh Holes was a DH and
a first baseman, probably not many chances to get injured,
(25:35):
but he didn't do anything the second half of his career,
and he was really competing against the first half of
his career. But Pooh Holes is a first ballot Hall
of Famer, you know, incredible numbers there. Yeah, Paul, here's
the poll. This is I think a tougher one that
it appears I compare sometimes Albert Pooles's career to Ken
Griffie Junior's career. The first ten years our first ballot
(25:57):
like where you don't even question The second ten years
are good, definitely not great. I think pool Holes had
one All Star appearance in his second ten years. Griffy Junior,
I think had two All Star appearances in his second
ten years. Whose career would you want? Think of the
player the perception now, so understand that Junior got hurt
(26:18):
a lot. Pooh Holes I think had you know one
like his second season in Anaheim planner foot foot issue,
planner fasciitis. Yeah, McLevin, Yeah he had planner. He tours
Planner in Fresh Charts in twenty thirteen, but he never
really got back to the old pool Holes. Yeah. I
would rather be Ken Griffy Junior, even though Pooh Holes
(26:41):
has probably got better numbers here. I think when people
here Ken Griffey Jr. Like you have a different He
almost brings a smile to your face the way he
played it. Would it be comparable to taking Vince Carter's
career over maybe a better stat player, Like would you
Vince Carter was entertainment? Ken Griffy Junior was entertainment, and
Carter had kind of two careers. He had the high
(27:02):
flying twenties and then the spot up three point nice jumper. Yeah,
Seaton Ken. Griffey Jr. Was an icon for a little while,
at least that's the way it felt to me growing up.
Like he was a kid that I, you know, a
guy that I really looked up to as Okay, he
had that swing and the backwards had and he was
a little um you know. The backwards had then caused
a little bit of hysteria. So he was sort of
(27:24):
polarizing in that way. But Albert Poolholes probably made twice
as much money, if not more, and has two World
Series that to me is worth a lot. So you'd
rather be Albert Poohles. I don't know if I would. Actually,
Griffy never appeared in a World Series. I think he
(27:45):
got to put into timing context because Griffy, say, baseball
after the strike, he was before the steroid era, and
Poohols nobody cared about sluggers after Barry Bonds. So Poohols
was not as big a deal like nobody like and
said nobody like look at him as an icon. He
just became the face of baseball in Saint Louis, one
of the great baseball towns in America. Three MVPs, top
(28:09):
five for the MVP, ten times nine All Star Game.
This is all with Saint Louis, and they paid ninety
five million dollars for all of those numbers, and then
after that the ten seasons with the Angels. And I
remember when he signed and at the time, I said,
Artie moreno is rolling the dice. Cann he win one
(28:30):
world If you win one world title, then you could
probably validate this. But if you don't, then it's going
to be a terrible contract. And it turned out to
be one of the worst contracts in baseball history. Yeahpo
I'm looking at Griffey when he was in his prime
twenty seven nine, right before he get injured. Fifty six homers,
(28:50):
fifty six holmors, forty eight homers, stealing twenty five bases
a year, Gold Glove, There was no there's no weaknesses
in his game heit for average, he had every single thing. Yeah,
he was a better all around player, but pooh holes
his hitting numbers or crazy crazy great historically great, you know, seedon,
but you know how people make a big deal out
(29:11):
of Tom Brady being drafted in the sixth round. Yeah,
Albert Poolholes was taken in the thirteenth round. Yeah, that's
got to be one of the greatest underdog stories of
all time, that the one of the greatest sluggers of
a generation, maybe the greatest hitters of all time, went
thirteen rounds. Yeah, took him thirteen rounds to draft that guy,
but didn't at something. Didn't Mike Piance go sixty first round?
(29:35):
Has I think he's probably the lowest drafted Hall of
Famer in baseball history. Yeah. It was that because he
was somebody's cousin, Like otherwise he wouldn't have even been Chisconsin. Yeah, yeah,
I mean I think he just did it as a
favor to Mike's dad that Tommy knew. And you know,
I think sixty second round, sixty first round. Yeah. Paul
(29:59):
Griffy was a number overall pick of the eighty seven
draft and he played at age nineteen in the minors.
What do you think he was like a year earlier
at playing high school ball in Cincinnati against Jimmy Lipper
throwing seventy six Well, he was also great football player
as well, great wide receiver. But yeah, I in growing
up in outside of Cincinnati, we were aware of Ken
(30:20):
Griffy Junior because of Ken Griffey Senior. And I remember
people saying, if you think Ken Griffy's senior is good,
wait till you know his son, you know, comes up,
And they were right. But yeah, Albert Poohle's first ballot
Hall of Famer. Just the last ten years, you know,
out of sight, out of mind, you're not playing in
playoff games. Prior to that, you were competing, you know,
(30:44):
world series, winning World series titles, being an MVP, being
in the All Star Game, and that's it, all right?
What other poll questions suggestions he got in the club? Okay,
I could save this for later than the show, but
this is a poll question suggestion, and it's a plea
for personal advice. Plea for personal advice. Do you guys
(31:05):
know Sunday is Mother's Day? At some point of the show,
I need advice on what to get because I'm starting
to think flowers are not a good gift. I heard
a podcast on this that flowers are a waste of
money and mothers want something completely different. I don't want
to disrupt the sports here, but I need help, wow
fully here listen very closely to what I'm saying, especially
(31:27):
anyone who's a young married guy out there with a
wife with kids. Card. You must get a card. Everything
is based off having a card given tour with something sentimental.
Don't be funny and cute cards can be sentimental. A present,
not flowers, but a present, and then a meal that
you pay for and take her out to. If you
do those things, three things, you're set for Mother's Day. Right, Oh, yeah,
(31:51):
seton right. I would agree with a lot of that,
although I tend to think that cardon flowers is the entry.
Cardon flowers is man a tory as then is also
the gift. Okay, but that that's basic level. Okay, Yes
I send flowers to my mom and my mother in law,
but I think at the very least you know that
(32:12):
Mother's Day brunch, that's there's got to be some other
things involved, even if you're not going with a fancy gift,
but you know they want you to probably do something
or not that they expect it, but it's right to
do something more than the common flower. You would be
the last person I would listen to. Why is that? Yeah?
Because I I don't think I don't think you dialed in. Yeah,
(32:35):
I'm gonna disagree with you, and I'm gonna on the
back to Toddler. Toddler doesn't like doing anything for anybody,
like physically. Like Todd would not go cut the lawn
or make up the house at a special treat, but
he would send his wife on an expensive spa day
and open the wallet. I've my sources tell me it's
I'd done this before from Mother's Day. Todd will pay
for the experience to make his wife's mother's day great,
(32:55):
but he won't, like, you know, do dishes. That is
very true. And she gets the piece in quiet and
she got you know, that's bad day that she loves
stuff like that. You get your pamper and everything and
I get to sit on the couch and watch the
basketball game or whatever ever but good. And you get
to leave her alone and she wants to be left alone.
So everybody's everybody's just thrilled. Okay, yeah, my club, I
(33:15):
don't know if that helps you. No. I have this
one gift idea. I think it's really bad. I had
heard a suggestion to buy a subscription to a book
of the month club that is as unromantic as you get.
But I thought that was kind of clever. It's too heavy, right,
Like that's not what a mother was. I think if
(33:37):
you cook a meal like they like that, yeah, yeah,
cook and clean up, I could just say, hey, I
got it. You know she comes home, I got it.
You're gonna you're gonna make it mean. They My wife
doesn't care what it tastes like. She does it and
she'll say this is really good, and I'll go, no,
it's not like I know it's not good, but but
(33:58):
she'll say it because you did not be intimidated, and
you know it's gonna be a one and done. It's
going to be a well done is what's gonna be?
Yes from the club. All right, I feel I feel
good now. I feel like I'm in a good place.
I think if you do that, you do flowers card
and you make a meal that's big, like a brunch.
Yeah that's good. That's good. And you know, even if
(34:19):
you buy her a book that you're thinking of her,
if you buy the book of the month club, then
you're not really thinking of her with one particular book, right,
and then you're getting into the gift card territory. Like
when is a gift card. Okay, yeah, yeah, I don't
gift They don't like gift cards, but they do in
a sense. They don't want you choosing clothes or anything
like no, no, no, don't do that. But I'm saying
(34:41):
if you go out and say I thought you would
look great in this, they love that at a gift
her seat. Yeah, just in case she needs to take
it back. Yes to full disclosure. And I shouldn't admit
this because I'm inviting getting killed here. But my wife
was online the other day and she alsoden. She's asking
me a question if I prefer what offles or pancakes,
and she's asking about different foods. Turns out she has
(35:03):
ordered herself a Mother's Day brunch to be delivered to
the house. I may have to pick it up, and
it may be and she said, as long as you
heat it up, which is a whole other story trying
to figure out how to preheat the other As long
as I heat it up, that counts as like that
I did something special. Oh god, But she did order
her own Mother's Day bunch. When I ready to go
to the restaurant just yet. So we're going to do
it that one and with that we move on. Play

(37:13):
leads us off. Gibbs, what's on your mind today, Dano?
How's it going? Crew? Not exactly? Atticus Finch weighing in,
But when's the last time you heard about Albert Poohole's
baseball game? Right? I mean, that's the trump card, it's
Ken Griffey Jr. All day. He took the words right
(37:34):
out of my mouth. Dan, you absolutely have to fix
dinner for your mother or significant other on Mother's Day. Todd,
get it together. I think, thank you, Gibbs. The fact
that your wife is ordering her Mother's Day brunch Todd
is awesome. I would say she beat me to it,
but I didn't think that far ahead about what a
brunch would look like in a couple. But what if
there's a drywall emergency in Norfolk and somebody as to
(37:56):
return gives the construction lawyer. Man, I've been trying to
keep that a little too. Yeah, this has become a
me and gives thing no one come about you guys
talk off the year James and North Carolina High James,
what's on your mind? Six foot of beefy two fifty man. Hey,
I'm trying. I'm trying to say, mclove and there's some
(38:18):
awful advice from the front road. It's just it's terrible.
Do what you said. You cook the meal, you're the
matre d. Do a brunch, this service them, be there
for them all day. That's all you need. You don't
need a card from some nerd in a cubicle. All right,
thank you? All right? James, speaking from experience, apparently, yes,
(38:40):
I mixed feelings about that. If you're not that great
of a cook. The cuteness of the effort to make
your wife dinner or a brunch may go away fast
when the meal's horrid. Paulie, I can tell you, yeah,
well you know what you're doing that. I've been married
thirty three years. If you if they come home and
you've got that meal, you're cooking it that alone. That's
(39:03):
that's And I have just boxer short songs too. Yeah,
I mean that's all I got. Yeah, I forgot to
mention that the left that the best part. Yeah, clothing
is optional, splatter guard. Yeah, I do anyone. Yeah, I
learned the hard way. Yes, seton and making brunch is
a little more safe than dinner. Yeah, because brunch, if
you mess that up, at least you could still have
(39:24):
a good dinner. If you mess up dinner, you're ending
the night that way. And it's like, great, everybody's hungry,
don't wear We got some crackers and cheese we could
fill up on or something. Because go with the brunch.
You want to go midday. If you're going to cook something,
you have a glass of wine poured for them. Um,
maybe you know, you ask Alexa to put on some
good music, then she likes and and then you just
(39:45):
cook and then you say hune, I got it. I'll
let you know when it's right, Like you don't want
it ready when she comes in. You want to give
her that opportunity to like go away then come back
and the that you're laboring over this. Yeah, Polly, what's
your policy on asking your wife what she wants for
(40:05):
Mother's Day? Like I once did this probably about six
years ago. My wife she had a long dayt whork, shehs,
I want you to figure it out and then you know,
it was one of those like long days or you
don't ask, do you just do it? Well. I have
three daughters, and two of them I respect their opinions
on these kind of things. The youngest one she would
(40:27):
have no, she'd be like, buy her, get her a kitten? No, no,
not getting her a kitten. No, I'm not gonna do that. Yes,
I like the surprise fact that, but you do run
the risk of getting something that they don't want. It's
almost like, you know, giving them like a gift card,
if they're gonna just pick it out for themselves. You know,
I think I think you'd gamble. You try to get
the funny you think they want as opposed to them
Just tell me and then I'll buy it, especially because
(40:49):
you guys share the money anyway, it doesn't I don't know.
Did you get your wife a gift? Her birthday is
coming up in a week from Mother's Day, so I
went to double the Uh, I guess expenditure for lack
of a better what. I went wild on the because
it's a milestone birthday, so it's gonna be a combined
Mother's Day birthday, so she may get like a little
carvel k coppy Mother's Day, the brunch which she ordered
(41:12):
and asked me what foods I want and included at
the brunch, and there may be some flowers involved, but
the birthday you'll be the bigger one for us. Okay,
that's you in the studio. Thank you, Todd. I wish
you well. Thank you. It was really gonna like the birthday.
Hopefully that'll be a good combo player. Yeah. See, I
feel like Todd should go He doesn't have to take
this advice at all, and then maybe I shouldn't win.
(41:33):
And I feel like Todd should go big on Mother's
Day and light on the birthday, understanding that a big
gift like that is kind of a birthday thing. But
you're doing it early, rather than like, well, you blew
off Mother's Day, but at least you rallied for my birthday.
That's the thought, because she's thinking because she knows I
got us something nice for a mother for her birthday,
but maybe it's more for a surprise because she's not
expecting it this Sunday, as opposed to the following Seaton saying,
(41:55):
start your closer in the first ending, like the Rays
do right right, because I have a similar situation where
there's like Valentine's Day, like another sort of holiday, and
then my wife's birthday all in one week, and we
celebrate each of those, and you kind of have to
space it out. Uh. And but you want to go
bigger upfront rather than light, that's what you said. Uh
(42:17):
And didn't you you you blew the surprise for my wife.
I'm sure I did. When I got out of the airstream, Yeah,
I bet I put an head out in the Hartford curds.
I just made sure that she was going to fight outside.
I tell Tod and I go, hey, this is a surprise,
but this is what I'm doing. Come on the come
on the air. And eight minutes later and Todd's like
an you got your wife that airstream and I go like,
(42:40):
what are you doing? And I had that helicopter fly
above your house with the banner that said what was coming?
Just I blew it one hour in the books, two
