Oh, it is a Wednesday. It is great to have you in. We are live and about to get steamy Los Angeles wherever you may be and however you may be listening. It is I heart radio Fox Sports Radio and FS1. We had quite a show yesterday hard to top Charles Barclay last hour stopped by all sorts of fun. Joy Taylor is joining me. Joy. How are you today?

I'm great. We're about to get steamy. We'll get hot in LA. It's going to get starting late today. It's going to get hot. Not that kind of steam. It's like I didn't get the man. It's supposed to get now now. It's a good thing it's been kind of chilly the basketball day. It has where I'm at on the beach. It's been foggy and chilly, but they're saying it's going to get very, very steamy. So you know what I um it's funny about my wife. You know, once twice a year we have to have like the uncomfortable conversation about something.

It's money, whatever it is. And my wife just says, you don't like that. I'm talking about that. I'm like, okay, today we got to talk about money. Money talk and the reason I'm not a real passive aggressive guy. You know, if I if I think something, I'll say something and a lot of people don't like me for that. Not just on the air off the air. I'll just say, hey, this bothers me. I don't like passive aggressive. And so and I think the reason I'd rather people be aggressive is because a it's painful initially. You know, good news.

Bad news. What do you want to hear? I'm a bad news guy. Give me the bad news first. Let's get it out of the way and have a good life. So I've always been, hey, give me the bad news first. I like uncomfortable conversations because it's painful initially, but then it creates trust. I mean, if that guy, if my wife can tell me the uncomfortable stuff, that I know she's not going to lie to me about the little stuff. And green bays Aaron Rogers. I've been critical of him through the years because I think he can be passive aggressive. He went aggressive. He was interviewing on some podcast with

Kyle Brandt. And I'm not sure ringer or something like that. And Aaron went into the most uncomfortable conversation and older quarterback can have. I'm going to get replaced pretty soon. Here it is talking about Jordan love first round pick for the Packers at quarterback.

Was I bummed out? Of course, it wouldn't be. You know, like I wanted to play my entire career in green Bay. I love the city. I grew up there. Really. It was got down to 21. I'm 36 now. A lot changes. Turn that time. But look, I get it. I see it completely.

Clearly. And then I'm not bitter about it. It just kind of is what it is.

Brady and Garoppolo. They had this irritation for three years. Nobody wanted to talk about it. In the end, New England gave Garoppolo away for a second round pick.

Because nobody wanted to talk about it. It's one of the bad moves probably not keeping Brady, but getting nothing for it that Belly check ever made. Chandler Jones was not a great move and Garoppolo for a second round.

Nobody wanted to talk about it. Aaron's being brutally honest. I'm 36. I had two surgeries. You drafted them in the first round. Folks, if you draft a quarterback in the first round, they all play within two years. In fact, I believe the last quarterback to be drafted in the first round who didn't play in the first two years was Aaron Rogers.

They're going to play Jordan love. They're going to play him at least next year. And again, Aaron Rogers is willing to have a big boy grown up adult conversation.

Just look at the facts. You know, they traded up. They drafted them. I would say they like them. They want to play him. Now I think a quarterbacks of playing earlier. It gives you know, give some latitude for young coaches and GMs to, you know, to play there to play their guys.

And I get it. I really do. I don't harbor any yield will about it. Like was I bummed out of course, it wouldn't be, you know, like I wanted to play my entire career in Green Bay. I love the city. I grew up there. Really. It was got down to 21. I'm 36 now. A lot changes.

Aaron's own spaceship apparently. I love this. Farve didn't end in Green Bay. Peyton Manning didn't end in an in B Brady's now in Tampa Bay, Johnny United's Peyton Manning Joe Namath. You generally, if you want to keep playing and Aaron does, you're not going to be in Green Bay.

And he just Aaron just took all the tension out of the room. He just Aaron just said, let's just talk about this. You drafted him in the first round. You're going to play him. I get it. This is the Aaron Rogers. I love. There's no, there's no. This is not being a disruptive player. It's being a totally honest player. I was told by my agent years ago.

And it's the smartest thing my agent ever said, the company you work for in the media makes the decision to get rid of you at least a year or two before they tell you.

And I know that's true because in the last year, I've seen two people who do what I do for a living get demoted or lose a gig and I heard about those conversations three years ago.

That's the way it's working. Green Bay is having conversations right now about Aaron Rogers. Two collarbone surgeries appears to be slightly out of his prime. Really super expensive.

You know, can sometimes irritate certain executives or coaches.
