What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Well, Limits, it's official. I've just signed up for Donnie's wedding. Nice. Have you already done that?
Yeah, I did that two months ago.
Now he has to insult me. I try to make a little banter and talk about how much fun it's going to be to be at you and Sarah's wedding, and he takes a shot at me.
No, you asked when did you sign up, and I told you when I signed up.
I'm very excited for Donnie's wedding. We're like an old couple just arguing about these trivial things. I didn't say when. I said, did you? and then you had to throw in. Donnie, that was absolutely a shot. Would you agree?
A little bit. I made him feel better, Austin, because he was far from the only person that we've been waiting on. Hounding.
Limits, it's all black. We have to dress in black. Do you have your outfit picked out?
Yeah, remember what I wore to our steak dinner? I asked Donnie, is this okay for me to wear? And Donnie paused for like a couple of seconds and said, that might be okay. So I still don't really know what I'm wearing.
That was a little flashy, Limits, and I think you'd stand out at the wedding and perhaps steal some of the spotlight if you wore the same thing. I'm being honest as your friend. What? Yeah.
Don't you think other people are going to be wearing a suit coat and like a black dress shirt?
Well, why do you think Donnie paused?
I don't know. Maybe the shirt wasn't all black.
The shirt was loud, Donnie.
I'm trying to remember. You had some stuff going on with the undershirt, right?
No, I didn't have an undershirt. It was just a black shirt. The shirt that was under your jacket, you sure did. I mean, like the button-down.
Yeah, it was a black dress shirt, and it had some flowers on it.
It was like something Dennis Rodman would have worn at one time.
I don't think so. I think it's a really nice shirt.
I can run that by the boss, but I promise you that the black jacket and black pants is perfect.
Yeah.
Other than that, you look great, I thought.
Can I wear my bright blue shoes, Donnie?
You can bring those for the dance floor. Nice. All right. You know what that music preceded? Mr. Ray Fittipaldo from the Post-Gazette. What a man he is, Donnie. Would you agree with that, first of all? I would agree. One of the nicest men I've ever met. He's brought to you by the AV-rated super lawyers, LGKG, Luxembourg, Garbutt, Kelly and George. I thought that said Garrett. It started me thinking about Miles Garrett, but it's Garbutt. Ray, we opened the show with the apparent inevitability of Aaron Rodgers. Is that what you're hearing? Is that what you're feeling? What percent chance would you put on this guy coming back to Pittsburgh as we sit here today?
Yeah, it certainly seems like it has that kind of momentum, Joe. I think everything is lining up for that to happen. All the players voiced their opinions. They wanted him back. After the season ended, they hire Mike McCarthy. They're going to hire a bunch of assistants who are familiar with Aaron, including guys on the offensive line and some other positions. So they're not doing this for Aaron, but I think it lines up very nicely for Aaron if he does want to come back.
Do you think that's the right move to want Aaron Rodgers to come back?
Yeah, I mean, Donnie, if the stated goal, as Art said, is to compete, then Aaron Rodgers definitely gives you the best chance to do that. I mean, name your free agent, whoever you want to bring in, name your draft pick. I mean, if you want to try to compete in the AFC playoffs again, Aaron Rodgers, even at age 43, which he'll be next December, I think is your best bet. He played well enough this year. um to get them there got him to 10 wins um you know obviously some some ups and down in that season but um yeah like Art said they want to compete and I think Aaron definitely is the best guy if that's the goal to compete for what though I mean are they really competing for a Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers
I mean, Joe, you can make an argument that, you know, look at Denver this year. Bo Nix is by far not a finished product. They had a really good defense.
