Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, it is Tuesday, March 31st, wild time on this planet. Got a good show for you today though. Hopefully it'll distract you a little bit throughout the boredom or stress that you're in the middle of right now. I tried to meditate this weekend with my lady, I got so close. I hope everybody is finding ways to get through this somehow. We're all in this song bitch together. Speaking of in this together,
Starting point is 00:00:34 Lisa mattresses right now. If you know somebody that works at a hospital or in a hospital that is looking for supplemental beds at cost, because I guess there's actual price gouging going on by bed companies, mattress companies, because hospitals need them in different states. So they're going to whoever is paying the most. I guess this is what's actually happening in the world.
Starting point is 00:00:54 Lisa Mattress is selling their beds at cost to hospitals in need. Now, granted, they can't just give away the mattresses. They wish they could. They're not a company or an estate that can do that. So they're doing it at a cost. They can create 1,000 beds a day. So for one month, obviously that's 30,000 beds. That can do real help that they're just giving away a cost making $0 for their company. They understand that we're all in this shit together right now. So if you know anybody at a hospital that needs beds,
Starting point is 00:01:26 this shit together right now. So if you know anybody at a hospital that needs beds, tell them to email together at lisa.com. That's together at l-e-e-s-a.com. And there's a form to fill out and then bang, I think you're, I think it's a very, you know, obviously they have to fact and check and all that stuff, but I think it's a process, and Lisa wants to do this immediately. So if you know of anybody, obviously not everybody knows of somebody that works at a hospital or could potentially need this. And it's hitting different areas, I think, different days. I guess Indianapolis is in the middle of being a hot spot right now for it, which is wild. So everybody be safe. And if you know anybody at a hospital, tell them together at Lisa.com.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Beds at cost. And also, if you're not at a hospital, Lisa them together at lisa.com beds at cost. And also, if you're not at a hospital, Lisa right now is giving 20% off hybrid mattresses and 30% off legend mattresses. So they're selling beds at cost and they're giving discounts on mattresses that they already have created. I mean, Lisa is a good company. That's a buy a buy into the times. If you're on your mattress or on your bed right they already have created. I mean, Lisa's a good company. That's a Biden to the times. If you're on your mattress or on your bed right now, hanging out, we're on our couch obviously right now, but we go to the bed and you're like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:02:32 I think I could use a new mattress. 20% off hybrid mattresses, 30% off legend mattresses. And if you know anybody at a hospital, they're creating as many beds as they possibly can to sell to cost to all hospitals. So they don't have to pay the price gouge prices by other mattress companies that is currently happening. Go to our email together at lisa.com that's l-e-e-s-a.com and for 20% off hybrid mattresses 30% off legend mattresses go to lisa.com that's l-e-e-s-a.com
Starting point is 00:02:59 lisa.com now let's get to the show let's get to the show uh welcome to mcafee and hawk i am pat mcafee that's aj hawk what's up dude Now, let's get to the show. Let's get to the show. Welcome to McAfee & Hawk. I am Pat McAfee. That's AJ Hawk. What's up, dude? Not much, man. Excited to be here for the show.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Sorry I was a bit distracted. I know we're working on a couple guests here to have on today. By the way, we have had guests on this show before. First ever guest, Burt Kreischer. We resolved a massive beef between one of the co-hosts of the show aj hawk and his hatred for bert kreischer live on this show we broke news on this show we've had nick mangled on this show and today this show might have the best guest lineup of any show that is being filmed or recorded, I think. Would you say that?
Starting point is 00:03:46 Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's possible. So at 2 o'clock, you feel comfortable saying who we have coming on, right? To be honest, I'm not 100% sure if either of them are going to call in for sure, but we have two guests potentially on the hook right now, just whether or not they're going to bust away or just kind of open their mouth, swim backwards, loosen it up, and just get out. We don't know.
Starting point is 00:04:09 But at 2 o'clock Eastern Standard Time, 1 o'clock Central Standard Time, there's a guy that's trending currently on the Internet that's going to be joining us. Another Ohio State legend. Voice and face of college football. Good friend of A.J. Hawk, Mr. Mr. Kirk Herbstreit. voice and face of college football good friend of aj hawk mr mr kirk herb street he's also a good friend and a work colleague of pat mcafee good guy by the way kirk herb street was the reason why i got on college game day this year everybody knows that he's one who uh you know i think was pushing behind the scenes to get me on there whenever the vinitary thing didn't work out
Starting point is 00:04:42 with south dakota state uh kirk herb street's been on my daily show on a regular basis been on my podcast before uh we work together in the octagon out there college game day and this guy is the face and voice of college football at this moment this morning he said he'd be surprised if the leagues went on both college football and the nfl with the way i'll be shocked if we have nfl football this fall if we have college football i'll be so surprised if that happens. Just because from what I understand, people that I listen to, you're 12 to 18 months away from a vaccine. I don't know how you let these guys go into locker rooms and let stadiums be filled up
Starting point is 00:05:15 and how can you play ball? I just don't know how you can do it with the optics of it. Next thing you know, you got a locker room full of guys that are sick and that's on your watch. I wouldn't want to have that. As much as I hate to say it, I think we're scratching the surface of where this thing's gonna go you don't all of a sudden come up with something in july or august and say okay we're good to go and turn them loose such a very valid point there by our friend herbie on this feel good friday march 27th
Starting point is 00:05:38 yeah it's a very valid point and i think we can all agree it's not like i i doubt there's a chance like the nfl plays and college football doesn't it's a package deal either everyone's playing or everyone's not playing you don't think the ncaa is gonna make their own decision and the nfl owners will be like okay that's what they're doing uh yeah it's possible but don't you think they want to have like a united front i cannot imagine college like i just can't imagine one would play and the other wouldn't could you imagine if you're in college right now i talked to pj fleck about this yesterday could you imagine if you're in college right now and they sent you home an e-learning thing this is what you gotta do for
Starting point is 00:06:11 your classes okay at home online and then if you're on the football team here's a workout pamphlet to take home make sure you're doing these workouts so you're back the off season in college football is more important than anything that you could imagine Boys are becoming men the workouts are insane. You're puking in workouts Some of the best athletes you've ever seen most in shape people are pushing themselves to the brink of damn near death If not, so am puking all over the place. There's no way you can recreate that at home There's no even the most self-motivated people even the people that like to work out alone and stuff like that. I'm not a hundred percent sure if when I was in college, if I was told to go home and they sent me a pamphlet that I would have been anywhere near as active and as, you know, disciplined with that workout regimen as I would have to be if I'm on
Starting point is 00:07:00 campus. That's what I think I'm most interested in intrigued about is the off season and workout plan. That's just getting taken away. The interested in and intrigued about is the off-season workout plan that's just getting taken away. The summer workouts, which are massive, which are getting taken away. I mean, this is a massive development time for a lot of those players and it's not going to happen. I don't know how you just roll back into this. Much like what Kirk was saying, I don't know how you just roll back into
Starting point is 00:07:18 this. I don't know how the world is going to operate after this all happens. I think it's a lot harder for college players and college teams to roll back into it than it would be NFL players. NFL players, they say, hey, it's your job. Your job is to be here in shape, or you're going to be cut. I think we might have our caller, right? Do we have a guest coming in?
Starting point is 00:07:36 Oh, my God. We have our guest. Oh, good. I didn't say he'd call. Good. It's not Kirk Herbstreit. It's not Kirk Herbstreit who's calling. Who is it?
Starting point is 00:07:42 It's not Kirk. It's not Kirk. 38 minutes because he was trending because, say because he was saying that there's a chance football is not going to happen this year, this morning. It's actually a guy who's a living legend, an absolute eye in the sky of this studio, one of the best mustachioed men ever, one of the most talented football players ever, and also a golfing champion. Ladies and gentlemen best
Starting point is 00:08:06 friend of Aaron Hawks a guy that I got to play golf with best friend of mine mr. Aaron Rodgers Yeah! Wow. Nice. Aaron? Hi. Hey, it's great to have you here.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Mr. Hawk is here as well. The boys were celebrating. We did not expect a call from a goat on this particular Friday, March 27th. I feel like that was recorded audio. Was that not? No, no, no. That was a natural reaction. You should have seen the room. Oh, that was just the boys? Yeah boy yeah that was the boys we're only allowed 10 people we have nine here
Starting point is 00:08:49 and all the boys were losing their mind there mr rogers i mean we're big fans obviously well i love i love you i love the boys and i'm glad i can be on here to give aj a potty break because he's got a very tiny bladder. He needs to go to the bathroom every five minutes or so. Yeah, he knows that. I sat next to him in our team meeting for many, many years. Aaron, where are you? What location? East coast, west coast, south?
Starting point is 00:09:16 Are you in the country? Yes, I am on the west coast. I was in Peru, though, about a week ago. Hold on. I don't know what day it is. Yeah. About a week ago. I was in Peru.
Starting point is 00:09:35 No, like nine days, I guess. Right before they shut the country down and just got out. That was quite the ordeal. Was there a moment there? Was there like a real moment where you thought you were potentially not going to be able to get back into America? Yeah, Pat, have you seen the movie?
Starting point is 00:09:51 Oh, man, we lost him. We lost him. He said his connection is pretty bad wherever he is, but is he still on the line? Do we need to call him back? I don't know, but he did say, have you seen, and I thought it was going to be the movie, and I was excited for it.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Have you seen, are you guys there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you seen the are you guys there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you seen the movie Argo? Yes, yes I have. You have? Yes, I have, absolutely. The scene at the end where they're racing to the airport and like nobody was chasing us, thankfully,
Starting point is 00:10:19 or holding us. We didn't have to speak Farsi to get back into the country. But there was some moments where we were worried we were not going to get out. It was absolute pandemonium at the airport. Would you have made it back if you were flying commercially? Probably not. Not right away. I know that there's been some, some planes and some folks
Starting point is 00:10:48 who are down there who've gotten, uh, gotten brought back, but I don't think when we rolled up to the airport at like seven in the morning, it was wall to wall people and you couldn't move. It was wall-to-wall people, and you couldn't move. And I was thinking, this isn't very safe. Not many masks on. And there was definitely a panic in the air. But, you know, somehow made it through. Then they shut the airport down because it was really bad weather. Made it through.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Then they shut the airport down because it was really bad weather. And they kind of had a drop dead time where they were going to shut the entire airport down. We made it by about 15 minutes. Hey, congratulations. Way to go. Made it back. Thank you, guys. What was it like landing, though? I assume you flew to the West Coast.
Starting point is 00:11:43 What was it like then? Did you have to go through a whole process? Quarantined? It was not, no. I actually thought it was going to be maybe a little bit more quarantine-type stuff. not near civilization, really, during our time in Peru. And at the time we left, there was 22 cases, and I think all of them had been centered around Lima. We were down in Cusco, and there hadn't been any cases down there yet. But there were just four of us on the trip,
Starting point is 00:12:22 and nobody had any symptoms, and nobody senses any symptoms. nobody senses that any symptoms. So, so I think we're in the clear. Are you in that massive house you just bought that they put on the internet and said, Aaron Rogers just bought this massive house. Is that where you're at right now?
Starting point is 00:12:35 Um, I don't know about massive. I don't know. Massive is a great, uh, great descriptor of it. Uh, it's a nice house.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Yeah. Massive. I think it would be kind of like Aaron James Hawk's house in Columbus, Ohio. If you've been there, Mr. McAfee. I would say that is massive. The backyard here is nice, but up to the ocean. Massive, I think, is more reserved
Starting point is 00:13:04 for a house like your co-host, my friend. Well, he FaceTimes when he walks around the villa and I just see his ceiling might be 50 feet high. AJ's house. Villa's a good word for it. It's a really good word for it. I think it'd be fun to do a little
Starting point is 00:13:21 24 hours with AJ Hawk. Let's see. 4.45, we're going to wake up, and we're going to drink eight eggs that I've cracked, and then I'm going to go downstairs on the VersaClimber for 35 minutes and do 30-second intervals. Then I'm going to do biceps with my gorilla kettlebells, and then I'm going to come upstairs and drink nine cups of coffee as I get ready to greet the kids.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Then I'm going to watch obscure WWE wrestling videos for the next 42 minutes. You've got to educate the kids, right? I mean, you've been there. How am I doing? My kids react. When Ric Flair comes out, they react. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:14:03 What are you doing, though? It'd be fun to watch that what are you are you locked down over there i've heard california is pretty insane at the time the videos coming out of california on the internet the costco line going like three miles long and the shut the lockdown i think out there has been pretty crazy and if i'm not mistaken that's where your massive price tagged house uh that everybody found out that you bought is, right? Have you just been locked down over there? It's definitely locked down, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Everybody's doing their best, I think, to quarantine. I had to go to the store yesterday to get some supplies, and I took a picture of it because I've been in the store maybe five times, you know, since the lockdown, maybe four times. And it was the first time I actually saw toilet paper at the store. And thankfully, there were some signs on there that said, you know, one per family or one per household or whatever. And I bought a six pack. And that was. That was a good day.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Congratulations. The TP shortage is everywhere, by the way, even out here in Indiana. Ain't nobody got anything. I don't understand that, Pat. Can you explain that to me? Because it doesn't make sense to me. Well, I think everybody's planning on eating frozen pizzas and stuff. I think the food that is going to be consumed is going to be a lot of stuff that people probably think they're going to be shitting it in a massive exorbitant amount and they're not
Starting point is 00:15:28 allowed to go out of their house so they think they got to stock up on a tp and and what's happened in turn was most people have nothing to wipe their ass with after that first batch because everywhere seems to be empty air i like it can you uh as an addendum to that can you rank your top three frozen pizzas? Do you have a top three? Bubbly is, now Bubbly, I don't know if you count as frozen because you kind of got to make it yourself. Bubbly, I think, is the standard. Then DiGiorno, obviously, is my number two behind that. And I had Jack's the other day, and Zito and I both had to eat an entire pepperoni pizza of Jack's.
Starting point is 00:16:04 And I'm going to be honest, when it got a little bit colder and it wasn't hot anymore, that was really terrible pizza. So I'm out on the Jack's. I think DiGiorno and Belbley is really my top two. I'm not even sure I have a third. Not Tombstone. Have you not had Tombstone pizza before? You know, I had that as a kid.
Starting point is 00:16:21 I think that is probably the one that a lot of people have been tweeting us that we should have had instead of Jack's. So I think I'm missing out with Tombstone, it sounds like. Yeah, I would definitely recommend that. Are you a big pizza pocket guy or are you more just a pizza pie guy? I'm a pizza pie guy. I mean, every once in a while, you know, the new Papadilla or whatever the hell it is, we call those when you fold the pizza in half.
Starting point is 00:16:44 What is it? A calzone. I'm a calzone guy as well, though. Don't love the Hot Pockets. I think those are a little bit too small, but a bigger Hot Pocket, a calzone, I'm all the way in on. I'm with you. Are you a pizza guy? Hot Pockets are like Pop-Tarts to me.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Amen. Do you eat incredibly healthy? I feel like you're, are you a super healthy eater? You've gotten in better shape. Yeah, I don't eat any of that stuff. I don't. Partly my choice, partly because of the lovely lady that I'll cohabitate with, share a bed with. She does not have any issues with cheat days?
Starting point is 00:17:26 She doesn't ever think, huh, I'd love a pizza pie today, or I'm going to throw a Pop-Tart in the toaster, or what if we binge on pizza and soda and maybe top it off with a Gary Queen blizzard?
Starting point is 00:17:41 Oh! You know I love a good DQ Blizzard. Oh! How could you not? But there hasn't been too many of those in the last couple years, which is funny. The consequence of that is your body
Starting point is 00:17:58 feels really good. You have normal bowel movements. You're not like clogged up for three days and then can't get off the pot for three days. It's crazy, Pat. Like you start feeling better. Your joints feel better. Energy is better.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Quite a phenomenon. I've never been able to do it. It sounds awesome. You know, everybody says nothing tastes as good as being healthy feels. And you're a testament of what you just said there. But, boy boy my lack of discipline and will with my taste buds is just not good enough to ever experience that and i'm afraid because i'm getting fat aaron i'm getting fat it's gonna happen
Starting point is 00:18:32 i can see you with the that discipline that you have and that power of your mind that you could just go on a 14 day fast fast and everything would go away. I think you could be on that naked and afraid, too, where you really got to go two or three weeks of not really eating anything and you're out there naked in the woods just trying to find your way and avoid crocodiles and mosquitoes and everything and get to the drop point. I think you could do that, and that would be a good way to lose weight too. The boys would appreciate a little break from the show maybe.
Starting point is 00:19:09 Oh, you're pitching this as a real idea for me to potentially lose weight, get on Naked and Afraid, maybe win some stuff, get stabbed by things, showcase how lack of an alpha I am without being able to start a fire out there. I mean, I've seen the show. I do not bring a lot of attributes to that place, but I would battle until the end if we're going to get a fire out there. I mean, I've seen the show. I do not bring a lot of attributes to that place, but I would battle till the end if we're going to get a prize at there. But is that the stuff you're watching right now? Did you watch Tiger King?
Starting point is 00:19:33 Did you watch Tiger King, Aaron? Did you watch Tiger King? I'd finished Tiger King, and let's talk about it for a second. Before I get into your personality and how well you fit on the show, like Nick and Afraid, let's talk about Tiger King. Please. personality and how well you fit on the show like nick and i'll just talk about tiger king please um first uh this observation uh pretty obvious to me that carol uh made her husband disappear can i get an amen in the back from the boys or okay yeah um that was maybe the strangest part of the entire show which is saying a lot because
Starting point is 00:20:06 you have a blonde mullet uh individual who has multiple husbands and you juxtapose that with a uh blonde uh ponytail guy rides on an elephant who has multiple wives and he is you know definitely uh more overweight than you could ever be pat Pat. Thank you. So it must be something about mind control and confidence, or maybe more mind control, I guess. Or maybe it's the hypnosis of the big tiger cats and such. They actually had some ligers, too, which I actually didn't know that that was a thing outside of Napoleon Dynamite, which is a real fun addition to the show.
Starting point is 00:20:44 But, man, that was entertaining. I give the producers a lot of credit for the way they cut the show, because they must have had so much damn footage. So much happened in those six 45-minute episodes, or however many it was. Every episode, you're like, okay, there's got to be kind of a dud episode where stuff doesn't happen. Nope.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Nope. Every show. One show, they show how Carol definitely got rid of her husband, didn't care. And one show, it's about how crazy Joe was. The next show, this Jeff guy comes in and takes over. And then he's this wild, baggist party guy who also just wants to control the cats there was you know a lot of a lot of power struggles pat what do you think well i do think it was ultimately a battle of power for them all they all wanted to be the cat expert
Starting point is 00:21:35 and carol definitely framed our guy joe exotic here and i don't even think it's a question at this point our guy joe exotic he might not have been a good guy i mean he had faults the guy was definitely not perfect you know he potentially was drugging and mething two uh heterosexual men into marrying him and stuff like i mean there's a lot of things that this guy potentially has done that is not outstanding but i do not think i do not think he was actually anywhere near gonna actually murder old carol uh old mrs haskins and old howard haskins i think he's been framed and that guy's gonna be in jail till he's dead for sure well they went up against a woman who uh you know stole the the wills out of that trailer and reworked them and put in that line that was obviously so telling about like a disappearing
Starting point is 00:22:22 case of a disappearance are you kidding me right now? It's like the writing... What was the show? The Jinx. The guy who did the Jinx. They caught him with the handwriting. He had misspelled
Starting point is 00:22:39 Beverly Hills, I think it was. The Beverly part. Something like that. That was a dead giveaway for her and just her entire attitude about losing a husband. Like, even if he did, you know, figure out a way to disappear and get his money, which obviously he didn't take his money with him. She was pretty blasé fair about him not being around anymore.
Starting point is 00:23:05 And she just had the money to go after Joe. And Joe was antagonizing. I mean, those videos, I was kind of questioning myself through much of it, going, man, what was I doing in 2012 and not watching Joe Exotic TV? You know, watching this TV show, I was missing out. I was so mad at myself, Aaron. But the good news is, especially in the time that we're in now where you might run out of content, JoeExoticTV.com
Starting point is 00:23:26 is still very much alive with all of those videos if you want to go dive through them. I mean, Pat, can we just talk about the characters in there and how there was nobody really pictured who was normal. I mean, you had the producer guy.
Starting point is 00:23:42 The lady with her hand cut off came across as the most normal of everybody. Rocking cigs. He had some weird, nefarious things going on. You had, obviously, Joe. You had the guy with two teeth who they started showing with his shirt off, which I don't know how that he got him to, hey, we're doing an interview here about Joe,
Starting point is 00:23:58 so do you mind taking his shirt off and lean way back in that lounge or two? He was kind of laying lounge for a couple hours. Four hours of an interview. You got, obviously, the, you know, Bhagavan, you know, you got to go by Bhagavan, which means Lord and, you know, and he's some sort of doctor as well. His whole harem of people, none of those people are normal. You have, you know, have obviously Joe and that crew. You have Carol and her
Starting point is 00:24:27 singing new husband guy. I mean, it's pure entertainment. It starts to finish pure entertainment. Howard Baskin is one of the biggest betas I've ever seen in my entire life.
Starting point is 00:24:42 One of the biggest betas I've ever seen in my entire life. That guy's sick. One of the biggest betas I've ever seen in my entire life. That guy. He's done. He's going to be. AJ has a good descriptor for people like that. What is it, AJ? Something about weak chin, no cakes.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Weak chin, no cakes, duck footed. That's just a bad combination for anybody. Heel first. Heel first, duck footed. That's why Very specific Weak chin No cakes Meaning no ass
Starting point is 00:25:10 And heel first Duck footed Like you can't Put three things together That would Take more away From a man Total beta
Starting point is 00:25:23 Total beta Can't trust those You know you can't trust by the way reborn virgins is that what they're called where they're called uh born again born again virgins or no uh yeah no there's born again virgins they claim it's a thing are those the religion though the born again um christian the born again me. That's where you were going with that? Same thing. The born-again Christians. Pat Enger has this pillar of five people you can't trust,
Starting point is 00:25:50 and born-again Christians is number one on top of that thing. Can't trust those people. I'd love to hear Pat talk about the other four that he can't trust. It sounds like he's right up my alley there. Pat, I think we have it on the list somewhere. That was like a year and a half ago. But the born-again Christians. Pull it up during this conversation conversation i want to hear it for the end come on boys okay it's people who i think one of them was people that have uh athletic trainers squeeze the bottle
Starting point is 00:26:15 of water into their mouth and during games yep agreed agreed you're aaron roger you do not do that you never let that happen, ever? No. I want to kick my own ass. Oh, that's so – that's a great – I told Pat this, what, a year ago maybe? That I would never let anyone squeeze water into my mouth. Like Nate, our good friend Nate, we're the trainer there, Aaron. You know, like Nate used to joke around with me sometimes and act like he was going to squirt water in my mouth,
Starting point is 00:26:40 and I would just punch him right there on the field. Like he knew, like it just doesn't – I don't know. Why has it become a thing? Why does everyone do it now? Everybody does it too. It makes no sense. Literally everybody does it. I think it's weird. It's strange. I think so too. I spray my bottles in my mouth. I just want to let everybody know that. I think we have it.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Here we go. Pat Anger's Five Pillars of Life. You don't crap where you eat. You always keep deodorant in your car. Never trust a born-again christian don't let another man squirt water in your mouth and don't get a neck tat unless you have five million dollars that's pretty good i love that hey a-rod have you thought about reaching out to to bagaban antle and just to maybe brainstorm some ideas on how, like this guy, you talked about mind control. I look at him as a leader, maybe a cult leader.
Starting point is 00:27:31 It depends how you describe him exactly. Have you ever thought about reaching out to some of these guys like, hey, you really find a way to get your message across and get everyone to buy in all for the good of the whole. Do you ever think about maybe sending an email out to one of these guys? Yeah, I think that's a good idea uh what i actually thought about a lot is one of my favorite shows uh on netflix is called documentary now and it's uh fred armisen and bill hater from snl fame and they parody documentaries and a doc that i enjoyed the last couple years is wow wow tensile about uh osho you know and his crew moving to oregon taking over a small town and and what uh documentary now does is they parody that and it's called bat shit valley
Starting point is 00:28:19 and it's starring owen wil Wilson as the cult leader. And Michael Keaton is in it as well. And it's just poking fun at this whole thing. for the FBI infiltrating Colts, trying to send out Colts' work, is very similar to some of the mind control stuff that people like this Doc Bhagavan are doing. I mean, it's stuff that's so crazy, and you laugh at it when you're watching a documentary now, or you marvel at it when you're watching Wild Wild Country, like how this can actually happen,
Starting point is 00:29:02 how a group of people can be so controlled. And then you have a show like Tiger King come out and you see, you know, what, what a guy like Bhagavan can do, what, what, uh, what somebody like, uh, like Carol Baskin can do with her following and change the narrative, basically rewrite history uh and and adjust kind of the narrative around her own thing to where it's not you know about her spending a hundred thousand dollars to buy cats to get started and her breeding cats it's now she is some you know conservationist who's talking about cats shouldn't be in cages their entire lives but is doing nothing to like uh rehab these cats to somehow get them back out in the wild yeah i mean that's that kind of mind control is just
Starting point is 00:29:51 is baffling to you know the three of us and the boys because it's so wild to think about people who could actually be under that type of control and it's the same thing in wild wild country that we saw and the same thing in the beautiful documentary now uh batshit valley a two-part uh two-part show that you guys should all watch if you haven't seen it definitely gonna watch that it all starts with hello cats and kittens or something like that and then after that they'll just do whatever the fuck she says have you seen bickram uh yes that was an insane one as well that documentary was absolutely insanity yeah i think that's uh that's where we're at now a lot of this stuff that uh was kind of hidden for a long time is is being uh being brought out to light wouldn't you say
Starting point is 00:30:40 that is uh less and less of uh unknown. Everything's kind of coming out, especially right now where people are just starving for some sort of content. You know, I really did enjoy Tiger King, and hopefully people look at it as more than just, you know, just the story of really three protagonists or two protagonists and antagonists, you know, and the crazinessiness but how uh you know the keeping of wild animals in this country is is a problem and and it is crazy there's 10 000 big cats in captivity it's insane and only 4 000 in the wild i mean that was wild numbers right there hey do you mind if we have somebody in the youtube comments uh section ask
Starting point is 00:31:25 you a question it's like the most beautiful place on the internet yeah love it okay i mean i feel like there's a lot of pressure on the youtube commenters right now not often are you in an open forum to ask aaron rogers a question who's going to show up who's going to ask a good question because this is a moment that is a pivotal point in our life in our existence what youtube commenter is going to ask a question that is a pivotal point in our life in our existence what youtube commenter is going to ask a question that is worth a single fuck ladies and gentlemen it's time to dive deep into the most beautiful section of the internet and do youtube questions youtube questions there you go uh if you could choose two nfl players to fight in an mma match who would you
Starting point is 00:32:02 choose is it that's that's the question we're choosing here? Yeah, Zito chose that. I know. I agree, by the way. The YouTube commenters are probably upset that that was the question that was asked. I'll answer this one. You can find one for Aaron. I would like to see Jadeveon Clowney
Starting point is 00:32:18 and potentially Mr. Peppers, Julius Peppers. I think those are the two most physically gifted humans to potentially ever exist. That's honestly what I think. I think like Jadavion Clowney, what Rob Ninkovich said, he could get a sack every single play if he wanted to. It's just whether or not he chooses to.
Starting point is 00:32:38 That's a wild time to be alive. And Peppers was a North Carolina basketball player. Do you agree, AJ? You're a big MMA enthusiast. I'd rather see maybe Jadavion Clowney fight Thomas Morstead. And Peppers was a North Carolina basketball player. Do you agree, AJ? You're a big MMA enthusiast. I'd rather see maybe Jadavion Clowney fight Thomas Morstead. Just thinking it would be fun. Maybe Thomas is like a brown belt in jiu-jitsu and we don't know it.
Starting point is 00:32:59 All right, let's get J.K. Scott out there then. Let's go Jadavion Clowney versus J.K. Scott, and let's see what the Pilates punter can do. J.K., I think, is a brown belt in jiu-jitsu or something like that. He could win. Is that accurate? Him versus Clowney, it works. Maybe he could cancel out some of the size difference. He's rolling in there trying to grab the leg and sneaking up to the neck. He's also a blue belt, I believe, in taekwondo,
Starting point is 00:33:27 which is not his strongest discipline, but he's been working on it a lot. Aaron, did you end up cutting your trip short in Peru, or were you always scheduled to come back when you did? No, no, there was a whole second part to the trip down in a couple other South American countries. You know, that's what happens when you plan a trip, you know, three, four months in advance. And then, yeah, we talked a lot about kind of the way the world was at the time leading up.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Yeah, but we were going to some friends. And, you know, a few days before, we all had a big talk about it. We said, oh, you know, feel good about things, and let's do it. But about two days into the trip, we said, this is kind of coming to a head a little bit. Things were getting a little dicey, and places, borders are starting to think about closing. And we were keeping a keen eye on it with some contacts that had contacts with the Pentagon, and we just realized. That's a normal sentence to say.
Starting point is 00:34:33 You know, four or five days in, it was time to make a decision. So, Aaron, you were just texting with the Pentagon, and the Pentagon said, hey, you should get the fuck out of Peru? Is that how this goes? Not necessarily. It was more the, you you know two degrees separation from maybe the pentagon uh talking to somebody who's talking to somebody uh at the pentagon so um yeah are you a world traveler is that your move do you like to travel
Starting point is 00:34:55 is that like a hobby of yours or i do love to travel i've been to uh let's see one most of the continents i've been in anoraka um been to most of the continents I've been to Antarctica been to six of the continents my my country list is nowhere near a guy like Larry Fitzgerald and actually my old teammate Brett Hunley
Starting point is 00:35:18 has really been going a bunch too he's seen I think six of the seven ancient wonders of the world. Sam and I talk about travel a lot, but I do enjoy traveling, so does Danica.
Starting point is 00:35:33 She's a great travel partner. Obviously, the only travel we've been doing is between the beach and the house lately. By the way, you're looking out for your peers in the community. That's very nice of you, Aaron. I'll go fuck myself.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Thanks, Pat. Hey, are we golfing? Are we in a golf tournament again? Is that ever going to happen? That is postponed. Just like just about everything else. Derby is postponed. Hey, what do you think about Tahoe? Hey, Rod, do you think there's else. Derby is postponed. Masters.
Starting point is 00:36:06 Hey, what do you think about Tahoe? Hey, Rod, do you think there's a chance? Masters is a big one. You know what I mean? Yeah. What if Tiger hadn't won last year? Oh, man. Now he gets to hold on that green jacket a little bit longer, which is nice.
Starting point is 00:36:18 So we get this belt for another year then? Yeah. Yeah, you might have to give it to Scotty Pippen though because I feel like you guys created a pretty budding friendship. So if you want to let him have that for half a year, that might be nice. Nah, nah, he's got enough.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Who was it, Ray Allen? No, Scotty Pippen. Scotty Pippen dunked on my face. But I did get him to shotgun a beer for the first time in his life. So it was a big moment. That's what you do, do pat you just bring people together and just make the world a better place you know one party at a time i can't do it anymore i'm confined to the house uh aaron
Starting point is 00:36:58 are you guys gonna get another weapon this off season what are we doing uh did you hear about a guy named funchus oh yeah i completely forgot you guys just signed him from the colts yeah so you have fun and chess in the same name you know it's gonna be pretty good are you now you've been around a long time obviously mount Rushmore of quarterbacks in a lot of people's minds. You're going to be a Hall of Famer. You said this year that you could see Hole 18, which kind of scared a lot of your big-time fans like me, but I think that was like a sense of urgency.
Starting point is 00:37:35 We don't always have this type of window to have success. You've been around a long time. This team last year, all the way up until the NFC Championship, was fun to watch man fun to watch now you add funches another year with lafleur what is the mindset aside from the covet 19 experience we're all living in but your mindset this offseason going into next it has to be pretty like almost reinvigorated am i wrong in thinking that you're definitely not wrong you're rarely wrong pat but you're definitely not wrong in this case the window and it's all about windows the nfl windows of opportunity where you have a team
Starting point is 00:38:09 that can win a championship and it doesn't matter uh who you are when you're a veteran player you know whether you're on one of those teams or not and you can you know the free agency i think is always interesting to see some of the comments from guys talking about you know going to different teams a lot of times the teams that are doing the most in free agency are doing the most because they need the most and they don't have a lot of players. The teams that aren't doing as much often don't really need as much. I think we're one of those teams where I think our GM did a great job
Starting point is 00:38:41 last offseason of adding some guys on the defense side of the ball. We've re-signed a couple guys that are really important to us. It looks like we re-signed Tyler Irvin, who changed our entire return game last year. We re-signed Mercedes Lewis, who was a huge part of our running attack last year and a big part of us doing a lot better in the red zone. And obviously Aaron Jones had, I think, 23 touchdowns last year, a a lot better in the red zone um and obviously aaron jones said i think 23 touchdowns last year a ton of them in the red zone mercedez a big part of that bringing him back you know we lost brian belaga which uh definitely hurt um just because his stability but
Starting point is 00:39:17 uh we brought in uh you know a guy from detroit to fill that spot who they feel really confident about um so i think the window is open that's the exciting part you know i'm guy from Detroit to fill that spot who they feel really confident about. So I think the window is open. That's the exciting part. You know, I'm not going into the last, you know, five, six years of my career going, man, it's going to be another one or two years before we're back in the mix. Now we're in the mix right now,
Starting point is 00:39:36 and we had a chance to be one of those teams like this year. You know, we were in the Final Four and we had the chance to win it all. I don't want to sound and ask you a stupid question but i'm going to ask it just strictly because that is this show a very stupid one when you see philip rivers get 25 million at the age of 38 right now with the colts and you see tom brady signed a two-year 50 million dollar guaranteed deal at the age of 42 and you see drew Drew Brees sign a $25 million guarantee here towards the end of his career.
Starting point is 00:40:09 For you, what are your thoughts on those decisions being made? Does it change the way you view anything, knowing that the quarterback position, if you're a guy who can understand a defense and sling it, there's not a lot of those guys left in the NFL. You can play for another 45 years if you wanted to. Do you think about that ever?
Starting point is 00:40:29 I mean, yeah. How do you not? I'm not some cliche guy that's going to talk about taking it year by year. No, of course. You look at what Tom's doing and still able to play at his age and play at a high level. Obviously, what Drew's done
Starting point is 00:40:44 and Phil getting you know, getting the opportunity to keep rolling in Indy, of course. Of course you do. Now my thing is, you know, legacy is really important, and having the opportunity to do it all in Green Bay would mean a lot to me. I understand that, you know, kind of the track record of our squad. You know, there's been times where we've had veteran players and they've finished elsewhere, and I get it.
Starting point is 00:41:07 I'd like to make that decision easy for them, and the only way to do that is to keep playing at a high level and give them no choice but to keep bringing you back because you're the best option and give them the best chance to win. So that's my goal, and I've got four years left of my deal, and I'd like to play for it a really, really high level. And so I feel like keep,
Starting point is 00:41:30 keep on keeping on from that point to do it. And I, I feel confident right now, maybe 40 when the deal ends, I feel like I could keep going after that. The way, the way things have been going. Well,
Starting point is 00:41:41 especially with Danica making you not eat any cheat days. And I apologize, AJ, go ahead, pal. It's okay. I won't eat tofu though. I mean, I don'tica making you not eat any cheat days. And I apologize, AJ. Go ahead, pal. It's okay. I won't eat tofu, though. I mean, I don't know if you're a big tofu guy, Pat. You strike me that you might be. I don't want to offend you, but I'm not a big tofu guy. That's kind of where I draw the line there.
Starting point is 00:41:58 That's good that you draw the line there. What about the CBA? Why did you take a more public-facing role in the CBA this year? Well, it was interesting, really interesting. Once we got to this point, I'd always kind of been kind of a hands-off guy with that stuff and trusting the leadership and negotiating. But, you know, getting on one of these big calls here a few months ago, I realized that there was some stuff going on that some of us
Starting point is 00:42:26 weren't crazy about i mean i don't think anybody's crazy about the strategy in general we basically sent them to start this whole process off we sent them like our top line which to me is just bad in negotiations it should never been done we should have waited for an offer from them because then you see what their what their wants are and obviously you negotiate off of that we sent them some sort of top line from us and allowed them to negotiate off of that i thought that was a bad mistake from the start and then you know we got into it and um i just don't understand i didn't understand how 17 games even got on the table and by the time I got to Indianapolis to be a part of that meeting, it wasn't a negotiation, it was a meeting,
Starting point is 00:43:10 the owners were done negotiating. They were totally done. They didn't even bring any of their – they brought like one lawyer in, but they didn't bring anybody, you know, any of their other guys. It wasn't like a normal meeting according to like Vinatieri and Michael Thomas and some of these guys who are in there who I really enjoyed talking with and Sherm and Okung. By the time we got in there, it was basically too late. And then we, you know, got in there, went back and talked with the PA reps.
Starting point is 00:43:39 And, you know, you're in the room and it wasn't like you're sitting across from Breeze and Brady and Rivers and some of the guys you mentioned. There's, you know, a lot of younger guys in there who are looking at, you know, $100,000 bump in their salary, you know, in a couple years and thinking that's what I want to go for. Not looking at 17 games or the fact that we didn't die on the 50-50 split hill or the fact that
Starting point is 00:44:09 there could be some benefits taken away from former players. There are a lot of things that I felt like we were kind of under selling ourselves with. I felt like we had the leverage. We are the product. They're not going to
Starting point is 00:44:25 you know put some XFL guys in and and feel great about the the product you know the XFL is an important part of I think our game now that NFL Europe has been gone for so many years we need developmental league but but the product is the product and it's it's the guys who are playing the NFL and it's the veteran players you know it it's the superstars that kind of push the needle. And I think we maybe needed a few more in that room to not settle for less than we were worth, and that's why I said what I said. And a lot of guys agreed with me, and there was some weird stuff that happened, like pushing back a vote to get more guys to vote.
Starting point is 00:45:01 I mean, there was a lot of strange things happened. I'm glad it's over with. I'm not happy with the result, but I am glad that it's over with. The thought that they didn't even bring their lawyers to Indianapolis. By the way, you came to Indianapolis. Thanks for saying hello. But when you came to Indianapolis, you said they'd only brought one lawyer. Does that mean that the negotiations were between DeMores and the NFL,
Starting point is 00:45:24 and by the time the players were going to be there, it was already over with? How does that work? Well, you know, this has been made public, so I'm not saying anything new here. You know, the PA had players that were going to come around at some point during the offseason or beginning of the season and thrown out a lot of things that they were thinking about negotiating. One of them was 17 games, which no one in our room, and I've talked to many players on other teams,
Starting point is 00:45:48 no one wanted to play 17 games. It should have been on the table. But during the season, without the current players, who were obviously playing their season, but the current players on the executive committee, not in the room to negotiate it was negotiated by by d and eric winston and the rest of the executive committee retired players and somehow 17 games got on the table to where once we sat in that room in
Starting point is 00:46:18 indianapolis and i was you know i'm not a part of any of the negotiations um but i could tell right away like there was no negotiation that was going on this was the owners in their mind almost doing us a favor here we're going to explain all these amazing things we put in this deal for you and it starts off with basically them admitting which i guess it wasn't admitting in their mind but to me it was admitting because i was new to it admitting that the 17th game was only put in there to pay for the uh quote-unquote benefits that they had quote-unquote uh ceded to us in this new negotiation and i just thought that you know in a world where player safety was talked
Starting point is 00:46:57 about and and it's postured obviously by one side as it actually means something to them uh that that that was pretty clear right away that that's not important to them it's about uh it's about revenue and i get it but i just thought that people needed to know that i thought our our players need to know that but again there was 50 more guys who voted for it allegedly than vote against it and it is what it is and i'll be done playing by the time this thing comes up. But I don't think in 10 years that the guys on the PA then will be pretty stoked about what went down in 2020.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Allegedly. Yeah. You're going for a recount? I don't know. Has the votes been made public? Have we been able to see everybody's name on who went yes and who went no? yeah i mean you're calling for a recount i don't know have you had has the votes been made public everybody's name on who went yes and who went no i love that by the way and i would like to see who withdrew too and they're like i'm not smart enough to make that fucking decision i'll let smart
Starting point is 00:47:54 people vote i can't that would be that'd be big if we saw who did what i don't see why not i mean and that's you know it's not surprising, because it's the same thing that happened in those meetings. When we had a vote about the player reps on whether or not to send it to the players, after the executive committee had already voted against it, given it to the players, they went to the player reps, and it was, you know, 17-14 and 1 abstain, which is basically a no vote. So it's basically 17-15. We all wanted to see who would make that public as well. Like, just stand on your vote vote. This is 17-15. We all want to see who
Starting point is 00:48:25 makes that public as well. Just stand on your vote. That's what Mike Thomas said. Just stand on your vote. Are you yes or you no? Let's have a conversation about it. Why did it get done early? Pat, if I speak while Aaron speaks, I know he can't hear me, so that's why I'm trying to lay back for a second.
Starting point is 00:48:45 But why did you guys get a CBA done early when your only leverage is the threat of missing games, but you guys get it done before the previous deal runs out? Well, before I answer that, I'll say why 10 years as well? 10 years doesn't make any sense to me like what there's no there's no opt-out is there no there's no opt-out either yeah exactly uh why did it get done early uh because on those calls and in those meetings the fear the fear mongering and we talked about that okung talked about it sherm talked about it i've talked about it it was legit like there was a ton of fear being
Starting point is 00:49:25 thrown at these guys that if if we didn't ratify this deal that we'd be on strike for 18 months and all this thing i mean there's it's not it's not even worth getting into it's so ridiculous some of the things that that were the scare tactics but i didn't i didn't understand that at all because i was thinking um the leverage to the leverage going in our favor the closer we get to the march of 2021 i mean that's just the way i was looking at it and everything that the pa was being told the reps were being told it was it swings in the other the other uh favor so who knows well i want to let you know i thought you did a great job speaking out and with a reason because we were covering it all and everybody was like no and then pouncey was like tell these young guys i'll give them 250
Starting point is 00:50:18 so everybody was saying no but they weren't saying why and then when you laid out why i think you cleared a lot of eyes so i appreciate you doing that now i don't want to get away from the super serious subject but i have a question i don't think you ever get a credit for having an absolute cannon a hose how far uh has have you once thrown a football before oh probably high 70s jeez oh my god never gets talked about by the way you're known as the hail Mary God, obviously. Hail Marys just happen. You hit the roof in Detroit almost before bringing that down from the clouds. You did it in Arizona running against your body.
Starting point is 00:50:52 You did it. High 70s. Is that like 78, 77, 79? Yeah, yeah, 78. In a game, I've thrown it 75 with pads on. A couple times. Once indoors and then once in Lambeau. Jesus. Why does it never get talked about, Aaron?
Starting point is 00:51:14 Oh, I don't know. Because they talk about my mustache. That was me. I actually intro'd you with the mustache. It's going to be strong here. I'm growing the whole thing out right now. I shave it down to a stache. Oh's going to be strong here. I'm growing the whole thing out right now. Oh, yeah. I'm going to shave it down to a stache.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Oh, my God. I'd love to see yours, too, Pat. Are you doing any facial hair challenges right now with your fans or your boys? No, I just have bad pubic hair. Like, my face looks like pubic hair. It's just bad. It doesn't do good, Aaron. It's bad.
Starting point is 00:51:43 What if you do it like on Jackass where all your boys kind of shave their pubes and put it on your face like a beard? I mean, it would look better than what I have right now. I mean, it would have to be a moment or two of me powering through, but it would look better than what I have. It would look better than what I have. Who you guys got coming on? You got some heavy hitters coming on today or what?
Starting point is 00:52:03 Well, I mean, you're pretty massive. Aaron, you're pretty massive. Aaron, you're just not an everyday get, I think, for anybody. When was the last time you did a show? When was the last time I did a show? You did Danica's podcast, and it was, by the way, the clips were everywhere. I think that's the last time you've really, you don't really do a lot of shows. No, I'm still waiting on AJ to have me back on his podcast but uh you haven't got a lot
Starting point is 00:52:27 of requests lately anytime we need to do we need to do it honestly what else are you going to do now are you so are you working out in the yard what are you doing beach uh yeah just running uh you know doing a lot of plyos on the beach and uh running up the steps. You know, just a lot of push-ups. Push-up challenges, you know. Ten of them. Put it online. No, we do some Skype workouts and Zoom workouts. That's the big, Zoom is the
Starting point is 00:52:55 big thing now. Are you an investor in Zoom? No, I'm not actually. I wish I was. Are you invested in a lot of things? No, I'm not actually. I wish I was, I guess. Are you invested in a lot of things? Yeah, I'd say my portfolio is strong to quite strong. Definitely less strong when the market went from 29 to 18 and a half. But no, yeah, I'm invested.
Starting point is 00:53:32 It's mostly stuff that I believe in or use. It makes it a lot easier to justify or to get behind if I actually believe in the product, you know? Yeah, you want to... I'm still waiting on AJ's protein powder to come out so I can get behind that. AJ has a protein powder? No, I don't have anything right now. He's been in the bathtub for years.
Starting point is 00:53:55 No, we have. Kirk Herbstreit came out earlier today, or I think it was posted earlier today. He said something about, I don't see any way that the NFL season even happens or starts on time, and he says the same for college football. What do you think about that? I think it's a possibility. I don't think it's a probability, though. I think that that kind of fear-mongering is not what's great right now.
Starting point is 00:54:21 I think what I worry about is people having some sort of hope in this time. And I don't think it's right to just throw an arbitrary date on the board. But I do think it's important that people are smart about what they're doing and who they're interacting with. But I don't see how the numbers don't start leveling off soon. I mean, everybody that I know, and again, we're talking about one, two degrees of separation here, are doing the right things and quarantined and being smart and washing their hands and taking care of themselves and being alert about how they're feeling all the time and eating the right way. I think there has to be some sort of flattening of this curve like they're talking about.
Starting point is 00:55:08 I think once that happens, I think the hope comes back that things will eventually return to normal. Obviously, the biggest difference, I think, in the numbers is that you're finally having more tests that are happening. But I think we have to be realistic here about what we're dealing with. We're dealing with, you know, something that is affecting people. But as long as we're doing the right things and quarantine and taking care of yourself,
Starting point is 00:55:38 I don't see how the numbers don't start leveling off. And then, you know, at some point, I think things start to get back to normal. I mean, we're in, what are we, in March 27th today? So Kirk's saying that by July 27th, which is four months from now, when training camp is about to start, that that's not going to happen.
Starting point is 00:56:04 I don't know. I mean, I'm not saying it's not out of their own possibility, but I see things changing and improving by then. But that's just, I guess, my optimism. Each day has felt like a week. You know what I mean? This has been a month, basically. I have no idea what's going to happen tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:56:22 I don't think anybody does. That's why Herbstreet is literally trending on the internet right now For what he said this morning It was a constant conversation because there's nothing else to talk about Here's something that I wanted to ask you about As soon as I found out about it I was told by an inside source Who's also on the show
Starting point is 00:56:36 That you have a Bob Ross original painting In your house, is that accurate? I have two of them actually No! What? No! What? No! I do. Two? I do. My buddy John got me
Starting point is 00:56:51 one a couple years ago and that one is over the... It's been in the living room for a while and then my beautiful girlfriend got me one last year. Yeah one last year. Yeah, last year.
Starting point is 00:57:10 So it's pretty awesome. Big Bob Ross fan. Maybe not as big as your co-host there, but I am a big Bob Ross fan. Definitely something fun to do if you're really really really bored during this time let's go back and just get some of that good positivity from Bob as he kind of puts things in perspective and just makes a bunch of happy mistakes and you know just paints paints his way in your heart I don't I am jealous of you. Not because you can throw a ball 78 yards and because you're Aaron Rodgers, obviously,
Starting point is 00:57:48 and you got chased out of Peru by the COVID-19 virus. But I am so incredibly jealous of you strictly because you have a painter's painting, two of them, in your house that I would pay more for than any of those other ridiculous paintings that people say they should pay more for. Who are some of those people?
Starting point is 00:58:03 Van Gogh? Da Vinci. Castle. These people. I would not pay anywhere near the amount of dollars I would pay for a Bob Ross painting because I feel like I probably watched it happen and the man that's painting it is an absolute angel from the heavens above. Well, I think now everybody knows what to get you for a present.
Starting point is 00:58:24 People have known it for a long time. I didn't know it was possible. When I heard your girlfriend just got it for you last year. I think it would be really nice of your guys to get you something like that. I think so, too. Wouldn't it? AJ, maybe? AJ, a little co-host from AJ.
Starting point is 00:58:34 I already commissioned a painting for you, Pat. It's true. It's right here. It's paper and shades. Oh, yeah. It's in the office. Picasso? It's me.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Not Picasso. I'm glad you remember that guy. Yeah, that's the AJ painting right there. Does Pat know about Picasso or not? Pat does not. Not Picasso. I'm glad you remember that guy. Yeah, that's the AJ painting right there. Does Pat know about Picasso or not? Pat does not know about Picasso. Why don't you enlighten him if you want? No, I think that's your forte because I think you've commissioned one before from him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Pat, there's a guy. I think he's in Australia. And he paints paintings. You can commission paintings for him or you can ask him to do something for him, and he paints strictly with his genitals. What's that? And he's, yes. And if you want, he'll send you a video of him painting the thing that you commissioned.
Starting point is 00:59:16 That's very nice of him. That's very nice of him. You've commissioned a couple paintings from his testicles? Well, I mean, there's no free ads. I know that. But Picasso's that good that I don't mind pumping him up here on this platform with Aaron on the show. Aaron knows about Picasso. I didn't exactly.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Indirectly. My buddy kind of jointly commissioned something. I had no idea who Picasso was until you told me how pumped you were about commissioning some sort of artwork from this person. Yeah, exactly. And I mean, trust me. I've been trying to find a way to commission something. What is this guy's balls painting? Balls and shaft, everything.
Starting point is 00:59:51 Head, he uses it all. No, but what is he painting? Like a horse? He painted a dog. My buddy had a dog that died. He painted a dog for him. The thing is, my buddy who we gave this painting to five years ago still doesn't know it's a percaso original he thought it's a normal painting i hope he does not watch
Starting point is 01:00:11 this he doesn't nobody watches nuts painting as percaso nut painting is what i'm searching right now is that just percaso p-r-i-c-a-s-s-o to play on the real percas. No. I don't know if you knew that. So after you look at this and take a deep dive into this, Pat, let us know if you'd rather have a Bob Ross or a Picasso. I did not think Aaron that Picasso would be brought up during this chat. You never know. There's no restrictions on this when you're involved. You're such a wild card
Starting point is 01:00:50 yeah yeah that's right we're in a weird time right now it's a weird time in the world i mean you're looking for positivity everywhere everywhere bob ross i think percaso is mainly a spreads positivity brings joy to people's lives don't watch the video too close because you might get freaked out a little bit i just saw a guy's balls. Bob Ross painting is the one I want, by the way. I still want a Bob Ross over Pregasso. Aaron, thank you so much for joining us, man. Thanks, guys. Really appreciate it. Two of my favorite people in the world.
Starting point is 01:01:17 Who are you in Game of Thrones? What? The guy running very unathletically. That was him. Yeah. I texted you right after that i was like you got to talk to him about this stand-in that they put in for you if that was supposed to be you did you hear me go to bat for you by the way everybody's talking that you were that person and i actually said there's no way in hell that aaron rogers would allow himself to be filmed running like that and know that what 20 million people at least 30
Starting point is 01:01:46 million people are going to see it there's no way that was him and everybody's like nope that was him for sure as he gets blown up down the alley or whatever i didn't that was 100 not me thank god thank god thank you for backing me up on that one there what what my you're a real friend well my fanhood and friendship was in question because if that was you, I would have had to bail and I just refused to believe it. I was like, that's not it. I respect that about you and I wouldn't expect you to come back if
Starting point is 01:02:14 that's how principled you are about your friends. But I would like to see some video footage of every one of your friends running then just so we can make an accurate depiction of the type of athletic people you surround yourself with. That's the next Office Olympics for you, Pat, what you film after this.
Starting point is 01:02:34 People are just running, wait until they say Zito. Zito's got some quick feet. Hey, you know the guy you met down at the golf tournament? His name was Ty. He had a mustache. He loves the Packers. Yes. He's currently in self-quarantine because he thought he had uh covet 19 and he just texted uh that he loves you and
Starting point is 01:02:51 he's very happy that you're home safe and sound ready to make another run at lombardi next year oh man he's definitely my my favorite part of the crew i love that that's big news i mean he has a mustache and he's a really nice person okay way ahead of you know some of the other starting points for your other the other boys so i enjoy all this the rest of the crew you got a great group really really good folks oh well we appreciate you mr aaron rogers you're the best go back to that lovely girlfriend the lady that you cohabit with and uh stay safe will you i will and you guys uh be safe out there and uh keep bringing some smiles to people's uh faces

He's the best. He's the absolute best. Wow. I came out of nowhere. We had to delay Herb Street 18 minutes. I was texting him like, sorry, pal. I don't know what to do.

I mean, Aaron's not scared of cigars either. Scotch isn't don't scotch isn't my thing but yeah i'll need a lot of input from him i found percaso by the way very scary oh it's i okay so full disclosure my buddy that got this he's like oh my god why'd you

Starting point is 01:05:02 cba not going uh yeah he thought there was maybe a little questions around the voting process. He said, allegedly, he wants all the votes to be public.

Starting point is 01:07:46 Hey, sorry for the lateness there. Aaron Rodgers called in.

No problem at all. You're up there, though. Face and voice of college football.
Starting point is 01:08:03 So whenever you say something that, like you said this morning, and I saw it on Get Up. I don't know where the original statement was. ESPN Radio. ESPN Radio. Were you on Golic and Wingo? No, it was with Freddie Coleman and Ian Fitzsimmons late last night. Okay.
Starting point is 01:08:19 I was just talking to them, and I didn't try. I wasn't trying to make a statement or anything. I was just answering a question and just kind of giving my take on what's going on and maybe where we're headed in the next few months well and i think by the way a lot of people view the things your way by the way there's a lot of people there's different ways to look at it i've always i'm an optimist obviously so i like to look at things in a positive fashion. I think you are as well, by the way. Yeah, typically.
Starting point is 01:08:46 But from everything that I've heard, I don't know how we get out of the current state that we're in. I don't know how we roll back in. I think that is what you were questioning as well. Am I right? Yeah. I mean, my thing is, by the way, this virus is a couple months old. I think they're learning and teaching us every day. And what they said maybe four days ago, now they're somewhat contradicting themselves.
Starting point is 01:09:08 And it's not their fault. It's just they're reacting to the cases and what's happening. And I think the reason for me, it's touched home a little bit. And, AJ, you know Jorge. We have a buddy that is in day 13 today. He's had a fever over 100 degrees every day. And I text with him three or four times a day just checking in on him, hoping that at some point it's going to be positive news, and it's not.
Starting point is 01:09:37 And so, you know, I'm hopeful and, you know, we're all optimistic that at some point he's going to get out of this, but he's got all the symptoms that you hear about. And so for me, I think it's been more real life because I'm going through that with him and trying to encourage him. And I think people that are kind of rolling their eyes, because I was there two or three weeks ago myself, I was like, what is the big deal about this thing? Like the flu, the flu is worse than this. You know, I was part of that camp and then you know i think when it when it started to change a little bit for me it was i think it was in a 12-hour
Starting point is 01:10:11 span the acc tournament the nba the sec tournament the big 10 tournament like everything was canceled you know and the nhl and i was like damn i need to like start listening and paying attention a little bit to dr fucci or fauci because i'm clearly not appreciating like what's going on here and so i from that point on i'm not sitting here watching the news all day but i am listening and i'm i i'm not into politics. Mark me down as an eye on politics. Like I listen to everybody. I don't pick sides. I don't care about agendas. I just listen to people and especially the doctors. And I think I'm just, I don't know, I'm somewhat mystified that people are just kind of continuing to poo-poo this and the whole notion of 15 days and we'll be in good shape. What are you talking about? Like, I've told my kids, they're all here,
Starting point is 01:11:11 two of them at Clemson, they're back here. They've been with us for about the last 12 or 13 days. And I'm basically like, y'all are done with school. I told him this like five days ago. You're done. Like, we've got to go figure out how to get your dorm cleared out you're not going back to school this year this is before they canceled you know school to say it's going to be online and so i'm counting on my kids being here for the foreseeable future you know we go out of the house a little bit but not a lot we're trying to follow the rules that they've established um which is you know tough but at same time, that's what we've got to do. It's what you do, right? So if the curve is going to be whether it's going to peak
Starting point is 01:11:53 or it's going to be flat, what the hell do you do after the curve? Do you think this thing's gone on the back end of the curve? It's still out there. Now you're the NCAA. Now you're now you're the ncaa now you're roger goodell you're going to let football players with this virus out there be in a locker room together and and work out together and you guys have been in locker rooms your whole life i mean it's it's tight quarters right and you're going to tell me that somebody on the team has that and you're going to just no problem it's
Starting point is 01:12:23 too much money at risk we got to keep pushing forward doesn't if this thing doesn't change or they don't find a vaccine i it's just i don't have any inside information just my personal opinion i just don't see the optics of it looking very good for the people that make decisions and i just don't know how they're going to be able to pull the trigger and have a season. It's just my opinion. Kirk, what do you think about the NFL draft? Roger Goodell has come out and said that it's going to happen on time, and I know some GMs are pushing back.
Starting point is 01:12:53 Do you think they should delay that? I don't really understand why it would need to be delayed. My only feeling on that is if this thing goes, they're using Italy as an example because they're two or three weeks ahead of us. And if this thing plays out the way the governor or Governor Cuomo out of New York is talking and the governor out of New Jersey, you know, they're fearful of not today, you know, like whatever it is, March 27th, they're more fearful of where their hospitals will be April 6th and April 12th and April 18th.
Starting point is 01:13:26 You know, if this thing goes where they're saying it could potentially go, and I'm not saying that it is. They're the ones that are saying that this thing could potentially go. If people don't buy into social distancing and start to listen, you know, they're saying that you're going to be in the emergency room with people that, like, you've got 12 people over here, okay, can save one of them, the other 11 are going to die. I mean, if it gets to that point, I don't know how, to me, the draft is a celebration. It's not just the, hey, can the GMs pull the trigger, can they make the pick?
Starting point is 01:14:01 If you're looking at it from that standpoint, then obviously you could easily do the do the draft it'd be entertaining it would get all of us something to watch like if you're just looking at it through that lens i'm with you but if you have people dying and it gets not today i'm talking numbers if they go where they could potentially go i just don't know how you like celebrate um joe burrow all right. Meanwhile, you've got people dying in some of these bigger cities where they're kind of the epicenter. I'll be very surprised if they don't change their mind, especially with the GMs coming out and saying, we'd rather not do this. But we're all looking into a crystal ball like if if it stays where it is right now by you know whenever that the date is whatever that is april 23rd or 4th then you know then maybe the optics
Starting point is 01:14:52 don't look that bad but if it gets to the point they're saying we're just scratching the surface of where it's going to be in in a few weeks and if it gets really bad i think you know obviously roger goodell is a smart guy he's gonna have to he would have to be forced into a position where he may have to rethink that i think how you felt initially about it not being as big of a deal as the flu and then whenever you started seeing the stories out of italy and then whenever you saw billion dollar operations suspending and postponing things. I think that for me, just like you, was when I was like, damn, this is a... If you got these people who, I don't want to say they're greedy humans, but if you have
Starting point is 01:15:31 a billion dollars and you have a company to run, I mean, at some point you're going to have to worry about your business. And these people are like, yeah, we'll just postpone it. We'll move it. We'll do this. The Indy 500, which is 300,000, 400,000 people come to Indianapolis. This economy in Indianapolis is massive. We're around the Indy 500 because they moved it to August 23rd or something.
Starting point is 01:15:52 They're even moving. The NCAA. Kentucky Derby. Moved. That's a huge deal. Yeah, these are big. Kentucky Derby gets moved. These are big deals.
Starting point is 01:15:59 That's why whenever I hear, you know, and I't always all buy in at the beginning of the covet 19 but then when i saw these things happening i was like damn i think this is uh unprecedented and obvious don't you feel like don't you feel like as a society right now it's it's almost like lone survivor when they went off that cliff off that side of that cliff and they're landing on trees they're just trying to like grab anything they can grab, you know, like grab on a, you know, a root or like a tree or something to try to slow them down. I feel like as a society, we're like falling off the side of a cliff and we need anything to like give us something to give us hope to stop this fear.
Starting point is 01:16:42 And that's why, you know, you like to think that the doctors and the scientists are trying to work to come up with a vaccine. The moment there's any kind of news of any kind of hope, I think is the only way you're going to get everybody to kind of just take a deep breath and be okay with it. Because people that are kind of rolling their eyes are saying, hey, the flu kills 40,000 people a year. This thing's nothing. And maybe it ends up not being anything, but based on when you watch what's happening around the entire world,
Starting point is 01:17:18 and when I think when it hits home with somebody that you know that's kind of fighting for their life after 13 days, I think it just gives you a different appreciation of it. And you have to be willing to maybe open up your eyes a little bit and realize that this is a little bit different. And a lot of smart people, as you say, Pat, all the time, a smart person is making decisions to shut things down, that the last thing they want to do financially is do that.
Starting point is 01:17:46 But they also don't want to be responsible for people coming together and a lot of people dying. So it's, as you said, it's unprecedented. We've never seen anything like this. To me, once we get that hope, once we finally can put our foot in that divot and push back, I think, finally can put our foot in that divot and push back. I think, like a lot of people, what makes this country so great is how we believe and we come together and we bounce back. And there's going to be a point when we all come together and we all bounce back. And the comeback will probably be historical. It'll probably be one of the greatest comebacks that they'll be writing this and talking about it 100 years from now. So that's coming down the road.
Starting point is 01:18:28 When that is, to me, is when they get a vaccine. And that's impossible to predict when that will happen. I agree. I'm on your side. And some people need a distraction, a pivot point. And just like you said, the sun is brightest after its darkest dawn i think people are going to yearn to get out of their houses where they might have even been trying to stay away from things and not going to gatherings and maybe isolating themselves and being on their phone i think
Starting point is 01:18:53 you don't realize what you have until it's taken away from you and i think that's potential i think that's potentially what's happening and on the other side of this i think there's a lot of great that's going to come but we all kind of have you know, band together here to kick this virus's ass together. Speaking of, on the other side of this, let's say college football does happen. Maybe it gets postponed, but it does happen. Joe Burrow, ah-t. Tua, ah-t.
Starting point is 01:19:15 But there is a stud down in Clemson in Trevor Lawrence who seems to be coming back with ETN as a weapon and maybe another chip on his shoulder. What is going to stop the Herbstreet Boys, Trevor Lawrence, Dabo, and Travis ETN next year or the Clemson Tigers? How do you stop that massive team? And also, Ohio State has a great couple of teams coming back. I'd say Ohio State, what I would put up there.
Starting point is 01:19:41 Plus, they have a chip on their shoulder because of the way their season ended. what I would put up there. Plus, they have a chip on their shoulder because of the way their season ended. Looking at it, if we have a season, and just on paper right now in March, if you're right about Trevor Lawrence and ETN and the weapons that he has coming back, they're loaded in their defense. Venables does as good a job as anybody every year, no matter who's on the roster. So they're going to be the team to beat.
Starting point is 01:20:09 But I do think that Justin Fields has got a lot of weapons himself. They've got to find a running back. They've been so spoiled over the years. That position, they've been elite for the last six or seven years. So if you look at their roster right now, I know they just had Trey Sermon come in out of Oklahoma, but he's been dealing with some injuries and started to fall a little bit in the depth chart there. So I don't know.
Starting point is 01:20:28 Hopefully he's healthy and able to go. But I would expect that the two teams outside of schools like Alabama or LSU or anybody in the SEC definitely would be Clemson and Ohio State. Ironically, Ohio State and Oregon. Oregon's another team. Even though they lose Justin Herbert, they would be another team, I think, that could come out of the West, come out of the Pac-12. And Ohio State-Oregon early in the year would be a big-time matchup
Starting point is 01:20:55 between two teams that hope to both be in the playoff by the end of the year. So there would be a lot at stake per game that would be at week two. I should say this, if potentially, because I've got a junior who's a rising senior. He plays football. He's a tight end, and he's getting recruited by some schools. He really is one of those guys that's kind of a tweener, one of those guys that needs a senior year to be able to get some solidified offers. What do guys like that do?
Starting point is 01:21:21 Do they reclassify if they miss next season? Is Trevor Lawrence done playing? Is Justin Fields done? If they don't have a 2020 year, I've got to assume Trevor Lawrence, there's no rule that says you have to play three years of college football. The rule is you have to be out of high school for three years. So he would theoretically be out of high school for three years. So he would theoretically be out of high school for three years. Same with Justin Fields, who was at Georgia, played at Ohio State,
Starting point is 01:21:49 and then this year coming up. So that's going to be, if we get to that level, and I hope we don't, by the way. I'm praying that we have a season and everything is fine by then. But if we don't have a season, it would be really interesting to see what happens with guys like Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields and others that clearly have the ability to declare and come out and play in the NFL. Kirk, do you think there's a chance that one of the, like say the NCAA doesn't play, but the NFL does? Like is there a chance or is it all or nothing i don't know man i i i i'd be speculating and almost guessing i i think if the nfl were to play and i think mark emmert the ncaa and the coaches the fca i think they would probably
Starting point is 01:22:41 look at it and say well you know hey know, hey, the NFL is doing it. You know, I think we're okay to do it. I don't know why the college game wouldn't go if the NFL would have potentially the same issues and concerns. I don't know why the college game wouldn't play if the NFL, because it's such a big business, just kept pushing forward. I don't know. If the NFL goes forward then i i would expect everybody to play i don't i don't think you have just the nfl but not college or high school let's hope that both leagues play and with yeah with the nfl there is one game that is played
Starting point is 01:23:19 on a different night than when the nfl plays. It is on a Monday night, and that particular game is played on ESPN, which is a place that you have worked for like 19, 20 years at this point and have mastered the craft of being a Keller commentator. There's a lot of speculation after Tony Romo goes back to CBS, Al Michaels doesn't get traded,
Starting point is 01:23:45 Peyton Manning turns down the job yet again. As of today, if you look around the internet and the speculation, the thought is, can Kirk Herbstreet pull double duty and do Saturday night and Monday night, both at college and in the NFL? Is that something you've ever thought about? And in my eyes, why haven't you been doing that for the last 10 years? Well, I appreciate it. I'm a college football guy,
Starting point is 01:24:11 like that's my passion. So my agent has talked a little bit about that as a possibility and entertaining that. And my reaction to that is if I would would even think about that there's no way i'm not doing college game day there's no way i'm not calling a college game like i i love doing that like i nfl would be i could do it i think i'd enjoy it but i think it'd be work i don't uh just not in nfl i enjoy the nfl i love watching guys like A.J. or you or guys that I know cover, you know, throughout their college career. But I don't like – I don't love the NFL the way I – a college game, I just love it.
Starting point is 01:24:54 I just love everything it's about. And so to be able to do that, I would have to – it wouldn't be like, okay, we need you off of college and you're going to do Monday. For some guys, that would be a dream. That would be like, man, I'm doing NFL football. It's as good as it gets. For me, it's not. You know, I've, I've, I'm, I'm doing a job that I love and working with people that I love. And, and, uh, if, if it were to come to that, I'd obviously would entertain the, the idea, but, um, leaving the college game would not be an option if they would want me to do that.
Starting point is 01:25:27 You wouldn't be able to. You're the face and voice of college football. I've said it before. I said it before. I appreciate it. You really are, and you're a good one. You're a damn good one, too. I think you're a gift to the college football world.
Starting point is 01:25:38 It's crazy. This will be 25 years this fall of college game day. I've been calling games for about 23 years now. So I love it. Before I go, I've got to tell you a quick story about A.J. Of course. My high school, he and I went to the same high school. Centerville.
Starting point is 01:25:58 Centerville, yeah. And when A.J. was a sophomore, I would argue our school is very proud of their football program, especially back in the older days. I would say that his sophomore year is his brother's senior year. I think that's right. Yeah, you're right. I would say that was the best team in the history of our high school. We used to do something in the summer that the alums would come together,
Starting point is 01:26:27 and at that point I was 30, and we would get together and basically hold up scout team cards, and we'd be in full pads. So I'd be the quarterback, full pads, and I'd have a center. I don't even know who he is. He's from the class, let's say, 96, who he is he's from the class let's say you know 96 left guard he's from class of 92 I mean it was all these different ages of guys and clearly different types of alcohol from the night before in our huddle that you could just smell as we're holding up these scout team cards and so we would scrimmage the current varsity football team with a bunch of old alums.
Starting point is 01:27:08 And it was kind of fun type of thing until that year. It wasn't fun anymore. So I'm running an option play. I don't even know if AJ remembers this. And they wanted to kill me every time I ran the ball. And here's Mr. Game Day, you know, former center bill, alcohol, highest paid Buckeye play.
Starting point is 01:27:28 And now he's on ESPN running the option. And I think AJ was wearing number 10. If I remember, and I ran an option to the, my left and I was just starting to kind of cut it up. And this dude hit me in my right temple and dude i'm telling you that dude that he hits in the golf thing that he for fun you know we all get giggles out of that this dude hit me so hard if people ask me who's the hardest person that ever hit you
Starting point is 01:28:07 so hard if people ask me who's the hardest person that ever hit you i say aj hawk like it knocked me it's not quite knocked me out but hit me again i don't know if you're people like your head some guys hit you they're like feels like their heads made out of concrete dog head here yes yes his head is concrete he's never had a concussion. Bro, his head hit me so hard. Like, definitely, if we had replay, definitely targeting. Definitely targeting right to my right temple. It was, and I tapped out. That was the last time I put pads on. He retired you?
Starting point is 01:28:43 I retired. He retired me. Oh, my God, AJ. And he was a dude. He retired you? I retired. He retired me. Oh my god, AJ. And he was a dude. He was a sophomore. We're not in school. He was a sophomore. That was the last alumni game they had, Kirk. We didn't have one after that. Yeah, it's because you killed it. You. This is your fault. But it was, Kirk,
Starting point is 01:29:00 I definitely remember, and I don't remember the specific hit in detail like you did. I just was trying not to get killed. We're playing against a bunch of grown men. I was like 180 pounds probably. You were headhunting. You were headhunting the quarterback. It was a big deal to go against, and our coaches would hype it up and be like,
Starting point is 01:29:14 hey, man, don't let these guys push you around. And, yeah, they put up a terrible picture of me and Ryan Kirk on the screen. You can't see right now. Probably when I was going into my sophomore year, I believe this picture is. But, yeah, Kirk, I do remember, though, I remember seeing your shiny Ohio State helmet, and I was like, we've got to get some marks on that thing. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 01:29:32 Oh, you did. You left some, what do they call the stripes that they used to put on those helmets? Oh, we got hitting stripes. Hitting stripes. Yeah, you got a few hitting stripes for that one for sure. Yeah, we always knew that A.J. Hawk was the reason they changed the way people tackle now and they're taught. He was just a headhunter.
Starting point is 01:29:51 The guy just killed people. He said 180. What did you play at when you played at Ohio State or the Packers? About 240. 33% heavier. Oh, God. I think I lucked out and just got Kirk in a good spot. You know, when you get hit in the right spot, like you said, the right temple.
Starting point is 01:30:14 Believe me, I took a beating that day from some of those old hungover linemen that wanted to make a point. Trust me. Well, you killed their quarterback. Oh, man. Her man herb street thank you so much for your time man oh absolutely you guys be safe man call call anytime let's love to talk you got it ladies and gentlemen face and voice of college football the handsome kirk herb street thank you

Starting point is 01:32:51 I don't think he just tapped out and quit right there And stopped playing in that game Yeah he did he said he never put pads on again The game was over and it was all because 10th grade A.J. Hawk Was head hunting these adults that were hung over Well we were going into the 10th grade. It was the summertime.
Starting point is 01:33:06 Oh, so you were a freshman. A freshman. A.J., the shoulder pads you had on in that picture looked like couch cushions. You couldn't hit them with your shoulder pad? Yeah. How do you even hit them with your head? Trust me. I think the same thing.
Starting point is 01:33:19 The shoulder pads I wore in the league were so small. I felt like I didn't have anything on. So my linebacker coach, who I love the dude, would fit me for shoulder pads every year, and he would just give me these monsters. And I didn't say anything. I would never talk back. I'd be like, oh, I can't really move, coach.
Starting point is 01:33:35 I can't even get my helmet on barely. And so, yeah, that's what I wore all through high school. Hey, pretty good show today. Yeah. It was, yeah. Kirk was good. Aaron was great. I think they had fun.
Starting point is 01:33:46 You see the sharing here, Bob? Oh, you got an Aussie Rules football? Yeah, you're damn right I do. Did they ship it to you? Yeah, but it's from the USAFL. Oh. I think I'm going to play in a game. Are you?
Starting point is 01:34:01 I think so. I think I'm going to get in shape. Potentially take some performance-enhancing drugs, and I'm going to get in shape, potentially take some performance-enhancing drugs, and I'm going to get into a game. In America, they play. Well, I think I'm going to play one game here just to see what it's like, and then if I look like I could stand a little bit of a chance, we drop me right down under and put me right in the middle of that thing
Starting point is 01:34:19 and just get my fucking ass beat in the middle of all those slaughterhouse out there. You'll get annihilated. It's like when I talked to you about when I had to play punt return and the guys were toying with me. And playing games and almost laughing at me because they have all these little savvy moves. It'll be fun to watch. I really hope it happens for you, actually. It didn't sound like you were happy for me to do that. It sounded like the complete opposite, actually.
Starting point is 01:34:41 I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't mess with those dudes. Me neither. They're going to kill me. It's going gonna either end with me tearing my acl or getting a concussion but it's worth it it's almost like the the jackass thing that aaron brought up have your buddies shave their genitals and then glue it onto your face it's one of those things it's nothing it's nothing like that aj what's kind of it's kind of like, oh, man, this is embarrassing, a little degrading if it happens. Degrading to who?
Starting point is 01:35:07 If you get pubes glued on your face? We're not getting pubes. We are past the pubes on my face. Oh, I thought you were doing that when Aaron brought it up. No, no. I know you guys are close friends. I thought for sure you co-signed. Like, yeah, this is great content.
Starting point is 01:35:17 Let's do it. No, no, no. I'm not doing that. No. It would make my beard look better, but no, I'm not doing that. No. But this AFL thing, I'm definitely doing. Ah, potentially doing. It's a lot no, I'm not doing that. No, but this AFL thing, I'm definitely doing. Ah, potentially doing.
Starting point is 01:35:26 It's a lot of cardio I'm going to have to do. I mean, ask me like six days into a new cardio routine if I'm going to stick with it or not. It would be a cool story, though. I think it'd be great video. It'd be good content. You could get into the USAFL, I think, right now. I understand that, but I'm talking about if we really wanted to do it,
Starting point is 01:35:41 I would have to go down under, and me and Coxzilla would have to be out there. You know what I mean? Playing a little game. By the way, I got a good chirping on an Australian bloke. Buried him. No big deal. In front of his whole fucking continent.
Starting point is 01:35:52 Felt pretty good. Felt pretty good. They don't hold that football like that, though. They don't keep pressure on it. They hold it weird, don't they? I don't know. I only saw one game, by the way. I had a one-night stand with the AF AFL and then I've watched highlights and the highlights
Starting point is 01:36:08 are just kicks and catches and big kicks and big hits I don't really get to see a lot of the open how am I running with it am I running like this because I like to carry like a loaf of bread everybody saw my scram uh uh scram no scamp uh scamper scamper against Tennessee Titans I mean I got boom 18 yard pickup no big deal carrying a ball like this. Even extended for an extra yard as I was going out of bounds. Ball's slick, though. Ball is slick. Imagine getting, like, dude's sweaty arms on that, too.
Starting point is 01:36:35 That thing is, there's no friction, is there? It's just super smooth. Like my sweaty arms, by the way. I'm going to be sweaty. They're going to have to deal with me, too. Let's not forget that. I'm saying just trying to hold on to the ball. Yeah, but they're going to have to deal with me, too. You keep saying I'm going to have to deal with them. They're going to have to deal with me. I. Let's not forget that. I'm saying just trying to hold on to the ball. Yeah, but they're going to have to deal with me, too.
Starting point is 01:36:45 You keep saying I'm going to have to deal with them. They're going to have to deal with me. I'm going to be a problem. They have tape fingers? Have you made many tackles without a helmet on? I mean, it's a different world. Backyard football? Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 01:36:54 I'm from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. What do you think this is? Kill a man with a ball? Sorry about it. Rust belt. My bad. Rust belt, bro. My hair is at a bad spot, by the way.
Starting point is 01:37:02 Sam, my lady, is not a haircut person. She's cutting my hair tonight. Oh, I know. Yeah, my wife not a haircut person she's cutting my hair tonight oh i know yeah my wife's had a she's cutting my hair tonight too actually what what was she ever a groomer and groom schnauzers because that's what my lady's relying upon is her experience grooming schnauzers no she has no prior experience cutting hair but she cuts just i'll probably just do the sides and back today that's easy enough well you just kind of go like Skin and long hair don't you?
