June 25, 2025 | Wake Up Classy 97

So I got some Aaron Rodgers news for you. Ew, why? You love Aaron Rodgers, don't you? Ew, why?

Aaron Rodgers earlier this month signed a contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was recently on an appearance on the Pat McAfee show and he said, I'm pretty sure this will be my final season. Duh, you think?

He said, that's why we just did a one year deal. didn't need to put any extra years on it or anything like that. This was really just about finishing with a lot of love and fun and peace for the career that I've had.

He should have finished last year. Yeah. And they probably, his agents probably did everything in their power to bribe and persuade the Steelers to take him and they agreed only on the condition that they would

take him for a year. I think he's being forced to retire if you want to know my take. How old is Aaron Rodgers? 42.

Is that right? Yeah. He's definitely at the age where people retire. Yeah, but I don't think he wanted to.

He says I've played for 20 years, it's been a long run and I've enjoyed it. And what a better place to finish than in one of the cornerstone franchises of the NFL

with Mike Tomlin and a great group of leadership and great guys and a city that expects you to win. He is 41. Sorry, excuse me.

Yeah. He was 41. Is. Not was.

He's still alive. Aaron Rodgers 41. Well, there you go. I just wanted you to know that you probably, I mean, he's going to get a TV deal.

You're going to see him on TV talking about football forever, but he won't probably be on the field much after this. No, why would they put him on the field? He was terrible last year.

Yeah, all righty. And I think we should probably start the show. Hello. Oh, hey.

I always never know really what to say first thing in the morning. And so then it turns into that. It turns into the weirdest thing you can think of. Yeah.

I mean, that's not the weirdest thing. They're much weirder than this. No. It is definitely not the weirdest thing.

It is certainly strange. It is kooky. Yeah. What is Leon Day all about?

Oh, I see. June 25th today. Six months away from Noelle. Don't even.

It's Leon. Don't even. Which is Noelle backwards. It is exactly halfway.

Don't even say it to Noelle. Don't. It's half way to Christmas. I can't believe you said that.

You went against my wishes. You're always doing this. I just, it said it was National Leon Day and I was like, oh, I don't know a Leon.

Do you know a Leon? No, I don't and I'm not even gonna think about it. Do you know a Noel? Nope.

No, I don't. Do you know a Noel? Nope. Perhaps.

No. I'm gonna sit in the summertime vibes forever. Better start that Christmas shopping. No.

I don't know. Nope. Yeah. Stop talking about it. Get the tree out.

No. And you can hang lights and flip flops on it. No, L. No.

See what I did. I do. I do. You could put a seashell wreath on the door. A seashell wreath. Why?

Summer. It's half Christmas. It's Leon. Okay.

You can do a slip and slide instead of sledding. Yeah, you could do a slip and slide. Awesome. These are Leon things.

Those just sound like summer things. You could have a barbecue in the backyard. That's not on the list. You could wear ugly Christmas t-shirts.

No, no, I'm not doing this. You know why? You could watch a holiday movie on the projector outside.

I won't. I won't. I love Christmas. I do.

There's a time and a place and it's not today. Not on Leon Day? No. Not on half Christmas?

No, that's a stupid idea. Whose idea was that? Oh, Leon Day's probably been around forever. Let's make it halfway to Christmas

and let's call it the opposite of Noel. Oh, my, my, my, my. Isn't that cute? You are really salty.

I am because why can't we just enjoy where we are right now? Leon Day, likely originated in the early 1990s, possibly from online Christmas communities.

Online Christmas communities? There are Christmas enthusiasts that love it and will take any opportunity to hear a jingle-y bell. Like today, on a half Christmas, on a Leon.

Nope, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna enjoy June 25th, and I'm gonna bask in that sunlight and I'm gonna go on a bike ride

and I'm gonna have a barbecue. I'm probably, I don't know if I'm gonna do all of those things. But- You know we got that magazine from Costco?

Yeah, I threw it in the garbage. Did you thumb through it at all? No, I mean a little. What's up?

Toward the back. All this back to school stuff and all this fall stuff. And I went, it's literally the first- We also got a magazine in the mail from Amazon that was all back to school stuff.

Yeah. It was like headed to the door. It's not even July. I know.

That's what I'm saying. Start shopping now. That means just enjoy. Spend your money.

Where I am right now. Consumerism. Stop it. Happy Leon.

Joy Leon. No. Yo, Leon. That's Joy back.

Let's see what I do. No, yo just Leon That's joy back. Oh, I did No

So that song someone somebody that used to know from go to a right we play that song on Classy 97 there is that other song With Bruno Mars anxiety Bruno Mars isn't on that? I'm pretty sure I think so. Yeah. I gotta look it up Anyway, it's it's samples this right basically plays the entire intro of this right is it's from dochi

right yeah that's who it is sure yeah and and what's interesting about I'm just trying to see if it said anything about that anyway the point is there's a bunch of different tick tocks I've seen Yes. Where people are like, why you can never trust your radio station?

Because it starts, it's the whole intro of Go-T-A. It is. And then jumps into the other song. And I just wanted to clarify that we've got the good stuff.

The good stuff? We got the Go-T-A. The other stuff is the bad stuff? No, it's not necessarily the bad stuff.

I just, when you want to sing along to Go-T-A, you can here. But what if I want to sing along to the other song? That's fine too, but that's not what the TikToks are about. Okay.

They're about, you wanted to sing along to Goatier, but then it was that other song. You were ready to sing along to the one we play, but then you didn't get to.

I was thinking about that song the other day. The other song has that intro to that Goatier song, and then it leads into anxiety. Right.
