What humorous confusion arises about the term 'bevi'?
Did limits just say a brevi instead of a bevi of things? Yeah, limits. I'm a little bit worried you might have messed up there. It's a bevi, not a brevi? There is no brevi. Brevi's not a word, I don't think. You better check your Malsy Thesaurus.
That's why I added that in.
Because I don't know how to check the thesaurus. Bevi, I think it's B-E-V-V-Y. It's not brevi. Really? Yeah. 24 years on this earth and I always thought it was brevi. Yep. You might have to take a ballsy moochoo while you're at it. It's up there with Zygest now. Zygest? The Zygeist. Now that's an all-timer, Donnie. Donnie football sitting across from me. It's a Donnie football Friday here at Bowser's Chevy in Monroeville. We get ready for the biggest football game of the year. We have tons of stuff happening with the Steelers. We have a show opening six-pack in honor of Ron Cook. But Ron Cook isn't the guy being honored today, isn't the person being honored today, Donnie. Let's talk about the person we really should be honoring in your life.
My mom is on her final day of work, Joe. So I texted you guys this morning, just asking if I could very quickly give my mom, Lisa, a shout out 40 plus years in the retail world. Wow. And today is her final day. So, uh, big props to her, uh, phenomenal work ethic. Uh, I'm, I'm glad that it brushed off a little bit onto me. Uh, But yeah, well, very, very well deserved. I know she's got to be buzzing. I would be. I mean, you walk into work on your final day. Oh, that pre quitting elation is the name of it. Yeah, you got to be fired up. So very, very, very happy for my mom. The work. is going to be over. I'm sure she'll get some little side job or whatever she wants to do. But her life in the retail business soon to be done.
And I know that she's been waiting on this day for a long time. Oh, wow. Congratulations, Lisa Football. Congratulations. You raised a fine son named Donnie Football. That is something, really. That makes me, that makes a tear come up, Donnie. All those years. How many kids in your family? Just me and my older sister. Older sister, okay. So she raised, her and your dad raised two fine people. Although I've never met your sister, I'm just assuming that. My sister's a lot more impressive than me. She was number one in her high school class. I was somewhere in the middle.
What special occasion is being celebrated in Donnie's life?
She's gone to do actual important things. What does she do? I get the yap about sports. She works in public health. Nice. Yeah. Well, congratulations, Lisa. We hope you have a great workday out there. That's awesome, Donnie. Thank you, Joe. And you know how we're going to celebrate here? With a six-pack, my friend. That's how we're going to do it on a Donnie Football Friday. And here's where we begin. Aaron Rodgers is inevitable, it would seem. All signs are pointing to him being back as the Steelers quarterback for a second run. Now, could we be surprised? Sure we could. It's Aaron Rodgers. Nothing he would do would surprise anybody, really. But listen to this. From our friend and yours, the big boy, the man that you did some pregame stuff with, didn't you, Donnie?
I did. He wrote a column for the Pat McAfee Show that says things like this. Not only do the Steelers want Rodgers to be their starting quarterback, but officials within the organization believe Rodgers wants to continue playing. Despite telling the McAfee Show last year he was going to retire after this season. At this point, Big Boy writes, the Steelers believe Rodgers will return. They want him to return and expect to hear something definitive before free agency on March 11th. That'll allow the oldest player in the NFL a little time to definitively make that decision. Meanwhile, Mike McCarthy went on the flagship over there and said of Rodgers, reiterated, quote, I hope he's coming back. Bob Pompeiani thinks this is kind of a big smokescreen or something, that this isn't going to happen, Donnie.
I'm convinced it is. And the hiring of James Campin figures in here, too. I think Schefter reran an old tweet from... Rogers, an old social media post, saying that Campen was like a mentor to him, one of the most important people in his football career.
