What's up everybody it is Tuesday July 20th and you are listening to the Pat McAfee show 2.0.
It's official we are in the dog days of summer right now. We still got a good show today there's
some more uh Aaron Rodgers news popping up quote unquote breaking news. A couple NFL teams are
reporting to camp. Peter Schrager stops by to discuss the Cam Akers injury.
As he knows Sean McVay pretty well.
He also talks about the last episode of this season of Flying Coach.
And Pat and AJ chop it up about the Olympics, Space Jam 2, and everything else going on in the world.
Let's get into it.
There's a lot to talk about.
I mean, Matthew Stafford conversation happened over the weekend
from a corner in San Fran to Tokyo Olympics.
Oh, no.
Oh, God.
Bring it back to Massacre Week.
They might be.
Don't say it.
Dead!
Yeah, the Tokyo Olympics head of organizing committee,
whatever the fuck that means,
the head of organizing committee has not ruled out a last-minute cancellation.
Is that because of the cardboard box beds?
I don't know.
Is that because Sha'Carri Richardson, the fastest woman on the planet,
in the Olympics will not be able to compete
because she dabbled with a plant that potentially made her life a lot better as opposed to taking a pharmaceutical option and
potentially spiraling. I don't know. I think it's because of what's going on with COVID.
They said COVID. This son of a bitch. This rat bastard. COVID-19 allegedly potentially going to
be able to stop the Olympics or maybe delay the Olympics for another year.
Will they just push back for another one?
I don't know how this will go.
All I do know is all eyes are on Tokyo
because this thing's supposed to start on Friday with no fans.
No fans.
So I don't know how the opening celebration will go
because that is a massive moment.
Maybe there'll just be such a big drone spectacular.
Well, the music couldn't happen because the person I was supposed to sing
allegedly was saying
terrible things back in the day
on social media.
So they have even music.
They even have music.
We don't know.
This is the,
I grew up wanting to be in this.
This is what I grew up in.
Soccer.
Wanting to be in the Olympics.
I want to represent
the United States
on the U.S. men's national team.
The Olympics is something
I look forward to
every single time they're on.
In the winter, love everything
about being cold. In the summer,
I don't know what the fuck a triple
backflip ollie whatever is,
but I know America's doing it better than everybody else,
so I'm going to watch. I absolutely
love the spectacle that is the Olympics.
It goes back, what,
centuries almost at this point? Back to the
Greeks or however it started.
And the amount of things that
have been uh kind of brought together I think through the love of sport and through the
international games and there's been some obvious scandals that have uh wrecked the Olympics
reputations maybe in that whole thing and Icarus exposed that Russia was potentially cheating
for every Olympic games and back in the day the. And then I guess there is the Olympics, I think, is something that are beautiful.
It's awesome.
It's for people that love sports, such a cool thing, even though it's not necessarily our
sport.
It is the thrill of competition that bring everybody on Earth together.
Even in sports, we don't know.
We're just kind of pulling for it.
I don't know who's running it.
I have no idea what's going on.
But this has been a shit show.
This whole thing has been a shit show and it's not because of
um things that they could not uh control or maybe steer around as if they saw an iceberg
these are these are self-caused problems from the olympics and something that is absolutely
beautiful the people that seem to have the reins of the olympics are are steering that particular
either texas longhorn like i like to ride on the weekends in fort worth stockyards or a horse right
into a terrible spot like so many other things i think that we've loved for so long we've seen
people get into charge and just kind of run it right into the fucking dirt hopefully that won't
happen with the olympics hopefully we'll be able to see the world's greatest do things like speed walking and the floor routine with the thing.
And Simone Biles is supposed to just go own everything.
I'd like to watch the greatest of all time and Simone do her thing.
But it feels like there's a chance that whether COVID is a problem still, which I'm being told is.
Correct. For sure. I'm being told COVID is still quite a problem still, which I'm being told is. Mm-hmm. Okay.
Correct.
For sure.
I'm being told COVID is still quite a problem.
Uh-huh.
Remember, I am in my own world.
Blinders.
I got my blinders.
Hey, listen.
Let's keep the main thing the main thing.
Let's not get distracted, okay?
Let's keep our blinders on.
You know what the horse does whenever they got to race them?
They put the blinders on.
You know why?
Because that's the only thing they need to worry about.
They don't need to worry about what horse is here.
They just need to worry about running straight. They need to stay focused. That's what we need to do. We need the blinders on. You know why? Because that's the only thing they need to worry about. They don't need to worry about what horse is here. They just need to worry about running straight.
They need to stay focused.
That's what we need to do.
We need the blinders.
That's my life.
Okay?
And that was Chuck Pagano's speech actually to us a couple different times
when there was distractions maybe that could pop off.
But that's my life.
I like my timeline.
I like I'm very deep on Twitter on a very regular basis.
So much so my wife probably hates it.
But it's kind of what I do.
It's kind of how I operate. It's kind of how I operate.
It's how the show has to go.
And my timeline is one that I thoroughly enjoy.
So whenever shit gets into my timeline,
it has to go like double generation to get in there.
If it's outside of my world,
politics outside of my world science,
by the way,
I mean,
it was brought into my world,
I guess,
but that shit was way out of my world.
It has made its way in.
I guess COVID has been sneaking its little fucking head back into my timeline, though.
And I want to let you know, we're going to beat it.
Hell yeah.
Have to.
Come on.
Have to.
Come on.
Going to get it.
We've had arenas everywhere.
Yeah.
I mean, I was in one the other night.
It was magical.
The world needs to keep that happening.
Hopefully, we'll be able to figure it out.
Hopefully, COVID will stay.
I've heard people have been getting COVID again.
Oh, yeah. Big time. People who have already been vaccinated as well okay thank you for that that boston thank you for no problem i'm just updating you on the
situation at ty schmidt here as well are people are like hospitals packed to the are the people
dying i haven't heard listen i'm not getting into anything i don't know anything but i do know that
everybody's
acting like kovats all the way back like we're back whenever we were moving games in march
madness right that's how some people are acting and i'm i only know that because those people are
getting into my timeline i'm like is this where we are are we doing this again i guess mass are
going back on in california mandates are happening again i guess other places there's mandates
happening again are we back to that stage where people are just hospitals can't keep up and
there's ice cream trucks going for dead bodies.
Remember that was happening.
I mean,
the things that we were watching on the news every single night during that
thing were alarming and incredibly scary.
And I think got it.
There's people that are acting as if that is still happening, right?
Is that what's going on?
And is that why the, if the olympics get canceled last minute there's a chance that all those people
that potentially get into my timeline are going to be doing i don't think they'll be celebrating
at all but that's going to get louder and louder are we headed am i oblivious because of my blinders
am i oblivious to what's going are we fucked again from covet is this happening again i don't know i
mean i hear there are whispers that COVID is coming back
or is back. And there was rumors
on the internet like John Cena.
Exactly.
I couldn't see Cena. I don't know
if you can see COVID either.
It's tough for us now, too, because like
you said, you were just in a packed arena.
We've already had
that carrot out dangled in front of us
like, hey, NFL stadiums are going to be full this upcoming season, period.
It's just, I mean, I think over there, too, I mean, it's the same deal.
Some places where they don't have vaccines readily available,
like stuff's still going on.
I mean, and who knows what to believe anymore.
I think there's potential chaos on the internet if the Olympics get canceled.
I agree.
And the Tokyo Olympic head of organizing committee not ruling out a last-minute cancellation. potential chaos on the internet if the olympics get canceled i agree and in the tokyo olympic
head of organizing committee not ruling out a last minute cancellation is that is that him just like
cya like covering his ass because if he if he does or he or she comes out and says uh it's canceled
then well why didn't you tell us that a couple days before and or is it the no fans no boning
no nothing no sponsors no sponsors that they're doing for the COVID?
Is that a move from one stage of risk to another stage of risk
just a couple days before the Olympics where the moving process
was supposed to go in there?
So what the hell is going on?
Well, he's got to be covering his ass, or she's got to be covering their ass
just because if people get COVID while they're staying there,
can't they look right to him like, hey it's already happened that's already there's already
been people who are who are there like athletes who are supposed to be in the olympics that have
tested positive so like what i mean at this point canceling it like what is that like people are
already testing positive yeah so what what do we do here and i did see too that they said like it
is like a big concern is like big concern that it's a bubble,
but there are many, many cracks in the security in terms of whether or not people would be able to just be like,
all right, fuck it, I'm not staying in a bubble for my entire time here. Well, every country in the world is at this thing, right?
Right.
I mean, I remember one time wanting to buy an island, create my own country,
create an Olympic team, and maybe compete in every event.
Yeah.
Oh.
That's a good idea.
It's not that easy.
But I remember all those ceremonies you watch.
There'll be like one person coming out from a country that it's like,
oh, shit, where's that country at?
You learn a lot during the Olympics, I think, about a lot.
So that's probably what they're worried about as well,
is people coming from every place of the earth.
Is that what's going on as well?
I mean, maybe, but don't you think?
What happened in Brazil a couple years ago?
Was it Ebola? No.
Zika. Zika.
Zika was the big one. That was going to shut down the
Olympics there for a little bit. They went on
and ended up having the Olympics and Lochte got
locked up. Oh, yeah.
Because he pissed at a gas station.
Oh, yeah.
Tough look for him.
Did they pull out guns? He was like,
Ja! Ja! He's back, by the way. He's Tough look for him. Did they pull out guns? He was like, ja!
Ja!
Ja!
He's back, by the way.
He's not like that anymore.
There's a documentary about how he's grown through that.
And we all grow and mature in different levels.
And that was obviously a terrible time.
But in Brazil, the Zico was supposed to be a big thing.
And then people were scared to go almost.
And then now with this, I think a lot of people want to go.
Yeah.
And then they're like, almost, we don't want you to go.
It's a wild time to be alive. Let's hope we have the Olympics.
Here we go.
The NBA is happening.
3-2. Milwaukee Bucks
in six was chanted by
every drunk in Milwaukee. Even the children
I think are chugging beers over there. I have
nothing but the utmost respect for
that atmosphere. Could end tonight
9 p.m. Eastern. Giannis
real G's move in silence like
you know my issue is the way i remember things is i see the way it's spelled and then like it
pops up in my head the way his name is spelled is not pronounced so i want to let yannis know i i
very am i'm very sorry i am a stooge
and i can't pronounce that but real g's move in silence like you honest could win his first title
tonight right oh yeah mvp mvp this guy stinks can't lead a team give me everybody else could
win a title tonight yes first time for milwaukee since like 1972 or something and not drew it's
drew holiday out of New Orleans into Milwaukee.
He could win a title tonight.
Yep.
And Chris Middleton, guy from the G League.
Nice little story of him coming up.
And then these guys hopefully join Team USA and turn that around, too.
A couple weeks ago, Stephen A. said Chris Middleton is, or not Stephen A.,
maybe it was Swaggoose.
Maybe it was Big Perk.
It was Big Perk.
Big Perk said these guys get max contracts or something.
I forget who it is.
There's been a lot of burials of a lot of people on ESPN.
I am over people being over Perkins, by the way.
It's bullshit.
Give it up.
We need more Big Perk.
We don't need less Big Perk.
But everybody's saying, Chris Minoli, this guy stinks, doesn't deserve a max contract.
Get him out of here.
He can win a title.
That's right.
He might even win NBA Finals MVP.
Who says no? I watched Space Jam last night. Oh, he's the whole of here, he can win it. Yeah, that's right. He might even win NBA Finals MVP. Who says no?
I watched Space Jam last night.
Oh, he's the old man.
Here we go.
How good was that movie?
We all knew I fell asleep during it.
And I woke up and I fell
back asleep, but I will say
I will say
they were doing a lot in that
movie. I mean, every scene has
7,000 things that happen.
I mean, at one point I saw Elmer Fudd.
Is that his fucking name?
Oh, yeah.
He shot something, then ran into a wall,
and then like this happened,
and then he brought in this, and then he...
The amount of money they had to have spent
on graphics and animation is so vast.
I did see the Game of Thrones
and every other reference that they made
that people were pissed off about.
That movie just wasn't made for me.
You know, the reason why I'm saying this is because I was watching it.
I was like, this movie stinks.
But if I was a kid and if I had watched any of these cartoons,
I think that was also a big problem.
The Looney Tunes.
This is a bigger – I don't know anything about any –
did they all forget how to play basketball, by the way?
I thought that was the big thing that they had played before.
They were actually saying, we've done this before a couple times.
And then they had to have a whole basketball practice to learn how
to play basketball well they kind of stunk in the first one as well i'm assuming they stink in this
one they they relied heavily on jordan to win them the game and lola lola was the only real
did have game i don't i mean it was the number one movie of the weekend so i don't want to bury
it too much it was a success story but i didn't fully understand what was going on out there a
lot of it i didn't know why that was a lot of the decisions that were made i was like
i don't fully understand why that was made but it wasn't for us the movie was huge i guess they
would they would consider that a smashing success absolutely lebron you know logistically speaking
is a king and that is a direct quote from the movie talking about his social media following
he's talking about king uh al g is who you're talking about his social media following. He's talking about King Al G
is who you're talking about.
That's right.
Wait till you meet King Al G.
Man.
Yeah, be careful with Al G. Rhythm.
He does not fuck around.
Al G. Rhythm's in your life.
You don't even know about this guy.
Exactly.
Is that Don Cheadle?
Yeah.
Okay.
See, that's why I want to see it
because I heard Don Cheadle
delivers an excellent performance.
So he's doing a lot of acting, I think,
with like nothing around him. Sure. You know, because a lot of acting, I think, with nothing around him.
Sure. You know, because a lot of the animation
is on green screen. I think as you're watching,
you're like, this guy, incredible thespian.
Yeah. Because it's obvious that that
ain't there, you know what I mean?
Well, that's what's interesting, too, is everyone always talks about
you know, I mean, LeBron's been great in everything
he's acted in. Why does he need all
the sideshow stuff? Is it
covering up for maybe the fact that he isn't a very good
He was asked to be in Space Jam.
This is Warner.
Don't even.
Well, I'm just saying maybe him and Vernon Davis sit down one-on-one
and he gives him game about how you actually act in these movies.
So you're saying LeBron's a bad actor?
Is that what you're saying?
Holy shit.
I'm just saying that I've seen that out there.
And I know from seeing, you know, multiple things.
But, yeah, I mean. I don't think he was bad. Not me from seeing multiple things. But yeah, I mean.
I don't think it was bad.
Not me, Bron.
Not me, Bron.
God awful.
Not me.
So you're saying that LeBron, after this, is not going to go on to have a massive lucrative acting career.
I was saying there were some lines in there that I didn't know why LeBron was forced to say.
What in the Matrix, hell?
That one was tough.
That was in the Matrix, hell? That one was tough. That was in the trailer.
There's one early that when they're setting the scene or whatever,
he's big douche early.
Oh, when he's a kid or when he's a dad?
When he's a dad, he's big douche early.
Oh, it's method acting.
Well, no.
You see, that's what I was worried about because I was a LeBron fan,
watched the first 15 minutes on Saturday.
Was?
Well, so that's a big thing.
Oh, no, no, no.
Oh!
Team MJ?
That was the thing.
Whoa!
No, never.
Whoa!
We're talking basketball or life?
Both.
Well, see, the stories I've heard about old buddy before the social media can also make me go like, all right, let's not maybe either situation here.
But MJ's a guy.
That's out of towners.
If I was friends with MJ, I would be super pumped.
Hell yeah.
Okay, I'd be super pumped.
Would love to be friends with MJ.
But I think on the court, everybody acts like LeBron couldn't have played back whenever Jordan played.
He could have.
He's 6'8".
He could have figured it out.
Just like Jordan could have figured it out now.
I just think it's two different sports.
So I'm not getting into that whole team mj team lebron but i will say there were some lines that i think lebron in the script
that i think i wish he would have fought a little bit harder against which one okay just a little
bit hard i don't know there was a time where there's a time in the movie i don't without
giving too much away but it's almost like his kid is his dad you know like he's oh really they they perceive lebron as a doofus oh yeah a lot of us is a big fat doofus
and not fat but obviously he's in great shape massive doofus for a lot of it so early i go to
myself like lebron should have said i ain't saying that because whatever so i think a lot of the lines
that he would never say did look a little bit forced sure okay and i think that is what people
may be uh alluding to because the lines that he was saying,
there's no way that's him in real life.
There's no way.
He's playing LeBron James, okay,
but there are some lines in there where you'll be like,
there's no way that's LeBron James,
especially after watching the shop with how cool he is.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Or maybe.
What's that?
Or maybe, you know,
the shop could be one of his greatest performances yet
if we're looking at this.
So either way, great actor.
So either way, it's a great actor.
As a voice actor.
I mean, you probably slept through the animation, but as a voice actor, he was second to none.
I don't think the animation really looked like him much either.
Am I wrong in thinking that?
I had to spend so much goddamn money on all the Looney Tunes.
You know, they had to cut corners somewhere.
His cartoon popped up and I was like, with his voice coming out of it,
I was like, okay, so that's definitely LeBron.
Got to be him.
But you didn't know at first?
I did.
Yeah, that's the way it happens.
But as his head is popping out, I'm like, that doesn't.
I don't know if that's the best cartoon of the...
I'd go down to State Fair right here and see a caricature.
I assume they would draw that son of a bitch a little bit.
We get Dirty Gertie to draw one.
I think Dirty Gertie would...
That was just one of...
There's a lot of things in there where you're like,
why was this the decision that was made?
So it's not for us.
You gotta watch it, though.
Exactly.
But there is not for us.
But you say to yourself, like, good... It was say to yourself, like, that's what I'm saying.
I don't know.
It's just like you.
What are you talking about?
He's got the sleeve and everything.
And the tattoos.
I guess, man.
Is he wearing a watch there?
No, it's just sweatpants.
Sweatpants.
There actually is quite a scene down there.

Let's go to the real news of the day.
Uh-huh.
We said all that to say this.
Aaron Rodgers turned down a two-year extension.
No!
Allegedly, it's being reported Adam Schefter,
the man who's had all the information accumulated
through a matter of time about Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay Packers.
Adam Schefter tweeted,
This offseason, the Packers offered Aaron Rodgers a two-year contract extension
that would have tied him to Green Bay for five more seasons
and made him the highest-paid quarterback and player in football.
Rodgers declined the offer.
Proof, it's not about the money.
Wow. in football rogers declined the offer proof it's not about the money wow so what happened was
maybe in one of those plane trips out to see aaron that was reported in the initial report
from adam schefter which at the time said according to league and team sources this
entire thing aaron wants out then adam schefter would go on to later say it was an accumulation
of information and the reason why i dropped it on the draft is just because even though when we read the initial report,
as we were reading it, it seemed like, oh, this is coming from Green Bay.
This seems to be coming from Green Bay.
I said that publicly.
Just my initial reaction was it sounds like a lot of this information that Schefter is potentially getting,
and it did say according to league and team sources in the news break is coming from
Green Bay because it was like painting an image like hey we're trying our best we flew out to him
this is what's going on blah blah blah that's that was my take on it then I was asked privately by
somebody who told me that that was from Green Bay. I said, that was just from reading it with a brain.
That is what, as somebody that's been in there,
I was then told it wasn't just from Green Bay sources.
It might not have been from Green Bay sources.
I'm like, well, why does it say team?
They're like, well, it could have been any team.
I'm like, okay, so now we're kind of picking and choosing.
But if it was agents potentially talking to Schefter
or other teams talking to Schefter or the Packers or maybe Aaron's team talking to Schefter it seems slighted
in the fashion that Green Bay was trying to do everything to get Aaron back there was no real
side from Aaron we thought that would prompt Aaron to respond Aaron did not because I think there was
real shit popping off behind the scenes when that news broke via Schefter's accumulation of news is how he has
titled it I don't think Aaron his team or maybe even the Packers who knows I still think that
was 100% the Packers but that is just my opinion that is not a fact that could be completely wrong
the Packers were trying to paint the image to their fans about what was going on and they might
lose Aaron and piss off Aaron and you've all seen what's going on for the years we are fucking up but this is what we have tried to do please be on
our side we're going to follow up with an email to everybody about everything that's happened and
make some statements saying this is divided us and just like so it seems like that's the case
but I think Aaron and his team didn't know it was going to go public because these types of
conversations especially at the quarterback position with hundreds and hundreds
of millions of dollars at stake,
just financially,
let alone legacies and careers and privately.
These conversations are very big conversations.
They happen often behind closed doors.
We live in a world where almost everything gets out,
but you rarely hear that type of drama,
especially if it was business or anything like that
between the head of an organization, is aaron and mark murphy good to goons and the boys
there so as this news was rolling out we never heard anything back from aaron wondering what
aaron's side was he literally just stayed back and said let's figure this out quiet quiet quiet
quiet we ask aj you heard anything now i haven you heard anything? No, I haven't heard anything.
AJ, you know anything?
No, I haven't heard anything.
Okay, he's out in Hawaii.
Something big pops off.
What happens?
Miles Teller gets jumped in the bathroom by who knows.
That is a criminal investigation that is currently happening in Maui, Hawaii.
We hope Miles Teller is okay.
He looked great at the UFC fight he was at a couple weeks ago.
Well said.
He did. Quiet,
quiet, quiet. The match happens.
Aaron says a couple things. Very
sly. Barkley's trying to get
him. The host is trying to get him. Fitz is trying to get
him. Everybody knows that they
have an opportunity for seven hours.
Is that how long the match was? Just about. Ten
hours of the match to get something out
of this. And Aaron, very
incredibly well done.
Turned himself back baby-faced, by the way, through that entire thing
and said, we'll figure it out.
Let's see what's going on.
And I think as we have invested time into this situation via an entire sports media,
not just us, everybody has talked about this,
although we get attacked for talking about it often
because I think a lot of Packers fans do listen to this show
shout out to the packers and the packers faithful and the packers organization but i think as we
continue to dive into this we realize like oh this guy has a real gripe i think a lot of people
were like hey with what what's going on in tampa what's going on in kansas city with the elites of
the elites and what happened with payton in denver whenever he left india went to denver even in india he was all right but he got the keys to the city in denver he got the keys to the elites, and what happened with Peyton in Denver whenever he left Indy and went to Denver.
Even in Indy he was all right, but he got the keys to the city in Denver.
He got the keys to the building in Denver.
Seems like Tom and Bruce very much on the same page.
Whatever Tom wants down there, it's going to work.
He's going to be allowed to do it.
He's going to win a Super Bowl.
Then you look in Kansas City.
They are just feeding Patrick Mahomes.
We are building this around Patrick Mahomes to do it.
Russell Wilson saw what
was going on in other places he's like hey I want to be remembered as top five quarterback all time
with what's going on here that ain't working he has a gripe allegedly now there was an offer it
was turned down he's back with Pete Carroll hey we're still friends and then old buddy's poking
his head in the side of that press conference and they must have figured that out but that ripple
effect of seeing very good quarterbacks where there are only a few of them okay to get in the side of that press conference and they must have figured that out but that ripple effect of seeing very good quarterbacks where there are only a few of them okay to get in the nfl you got
to be good all right obviously you got to be better than what 99 of humans that have ever
stepped foot on a football field ever in their entire life you got to be better than get the
nfl is not easy there's only a couple guys though that are up there i think there will be more
obviously that's how the game continues and the NFL will go on forever.
Cause there'll be a next generation of greats and everything like that.
Patrick Mahomes is poking his head in there.
There are other young guys.
Lamar Jackson has a chance if he goes on and wins a Superbowl or two,
he has a chance,
but there's only a couple guys that are getting to see what the other couple
guys in their very small fraternity have been able to do.
And you could see how they go.
Why am i not getting
a chance to fucking just load up and say hey we need this we need this i think this is how day
to day should operate by the way i think we should keep this person around because although
they're 40 might not be the best in the locker room they are absolutely loved and they're in
our team that should that should be all we're looking to be talented we're looking to be tight
and we're looking to be terrific on the football field that is what the goal should be all. We're looking to be talented. We're looking to be tight. And we're looking to be terrific on the football field.
That is what the goal should be.
And if you have two different ideas of, oh, we're trying to be good but not great.
We're trying to save money.
We're trying to do this.
We have this idea.
We're trying to turn over, look for the future so we're great for the next 15 years.
Even though you have a chance to win right now, we're just trying to be sustained great as opposed to sustained elite.
I mean, or quick elite. I mean, they're quick elite.
I mean, there's just so many ideals that could potentially pop off.
And I think it all stems from what's going on with Tom, what happened with Peyton, what's
happened with Patrick Mahomes right now.
Fans are a little bit more understanding.
Like you could see why Aaron would want to have the situation in these other places.
And in Green Bay, you could have the situation to do that.
These people are choosing not to,
whether it's past decisions, current decisions,
and I don't trust them with future decisions.
I'm 30-some years old.
I am in my prime, best thrower of a football ever.
It's already documented, talked about, everything like that.
How come that, and that's where we sit, and we stand.
And now Schefter says a two-year extension was offered.
It would make him the highest paid.
What does that mean?
Does that mean year to year total?
Because Patrick Mahomes getting half a billion dollars.
Are you going on each year to year salary?
Is average?
What are you going off of?
Who knows what that meant?
But he said, no.
And I think it's more, I think it's much more has to do with like,
do you see what everybody else who is incredible at football is getting the opportunity to do?
I would like to have a little bit of a say because I understand the high school football, the player is the dumbest person out there.
The smallest amount of football information in their brain has touched because they're still learning the game.
In college, the college coaches are not only the gatekeeper, but also they're the people that are still teaching and you're still learning fundamentals and everything like that. Whenever you're 15 years in the NFL, 20 years in the NFL,
your football IQ probably fucking better than everybody's on earth to get that respect and
feel that respect, which I think Tom was looking for. Peyton always had it by the way in India,
but in Denver, they just said, Hey, whatever the fuck you need to do, you do it. I think there's
going to be more guys that are going to be looking for that opportunity.
Aaron is the one right now who's kind of odd man out with that type of freedom and power.
Who's going to be next?
I guess we'll have to see there.
But this Aaron Rodgers situation is fascinating. Well, and you couple all that stuff with what we've talked about ad nauseum in terms of,
like, yeah, not only not having really, like, a say, but then feeling slighted and disrespected
and, like, jabbed and ped and disrespected and like jabbed
and poked and prodded when you talk about guys you like and stuff like that. Just stuff that like
teams don't really do to like a franchise quarterback. And then, yeah, I mean, I don't
understand why this is all getting, you know, kind of repackaged as breaking news, because I feel like
we have known this for a long time that the Packers tried to offer him some sort of extension although it's pretty clear that they're kind of okay with Jordan Love so it
doesn't really make that much sense that they would that they would necessarily want Rodgers
around for five the next five years yeah so what's that mean so now we got like a little bit of a
mixed communication on what the Jordan Love pick was for them because remember it's not just
drafting Jordan Love it's trading up to go get Jordan Love and not saying anything to your guy Andy Dalton was a member of the
Chicago Bears for four weeks maybe two weeks I forget how many maybe a week I forget what it was
and they called him to tell him they were trading up the draft Justin Fields just because hey
hey this is business this is how this is how we're going to do business. We're doing business together. This is how we do business.
I think it's all those amateur-like business decisions
that have been made behind closed doors,
but then also the decisions that have been made on paper
to roster and to things he said and everything like that.
It's just a bunch of smacks in the mouth.
It really is.
And I know there's people that are against him
because of the preconceived notion
that he was just big, massive drama douchebag because he refused to answer any of the stories
that came out for about him from two to three people were saying the same thing yeah and he
refused he said what kill him with indifference kill him with indifference he didn't answer it so
i told him literally the first time i met him i was like hey how come you didn't like you uh if i
come out and answer one,
then I got to answer everybody. I just kill him with, that's not really my thing. And like,
he's more of like a thing. I'm like, yeah, but I feel like everybody, those things snowball.
Like one person's opinion who heard this story. Now they're telling somebody that's their friend's
opinion because they didn't even hear that story. They heard you say it and it kind of spiraled that's why i took so much i think pride in the aaron rogers tuesdays because it was a conversation with a guy
we i knew nothing about i didn't know anything about the guy still don't talk to him often
i do have um some information on a couple things though from a source whoa okay from a pretty good
source but i don't talk to but i think that was one of those things where the misunderstanding of what an aaron what aaron rogers is led to
people now and i think green bay potentially thinking they could leverage that in a business
way to make him look like the bad guy which is why i think the information was leaked to adam
schefter from everybody league League and team sources.
League and team sources.
With Schefter, by the way, he's dialed in, plugged in.
He's at the top.
He just interviewed Alex Guerrero, which is the TB12 guy.
So anything Schefter ever says about Tom Brady, we know, okay,
Schefter's got a guy very tight to that camp.
He said Tom's going to play probably until he's 45, two more years or whatever,
is what Alex Guerrero said, TB12 founder, the pliability of the world founder.
But it's like Schefter's very good, incredible what he does.
He's not saying something for no reason.
Schefter's saying something because he's being told.
Who's telling him is what you have to break down.
And I think Green Bay was potentially feeding some information.
They had to have been, right, if they're taking three trips,
unless Aaron's agent was talking, which Aaron's agent ain't gonna do that so is it miles teller telling people i don't
know who it could potentially be it would have to be the team so i think they were trying to leverage
his potential persona that people had of him against him with this business stuff happening
and then aaron literally just stayed quiet and now we're at a point where i think in 2021 where
you learn more about everything than you could have ever imagined.
There's information about every situation available to you basically right in the palm of your hand.
I think now we're at a point where people are like, yeah, the guy deserves to fucking go and get it.
That's what everybody else is doing.
They made the NFC Championship twice.
Yes.
Back-to-back years.
Back-to-back years.
They could go win a Super Bowl.
You add a couple things and do some things.
I'm sure Aaron has a much better feel on what it is.
And I think he just wants to be listened to,
just like Tom wanted to be listened to in New England.
Yeah, absolutely.
And I think what the Aaron thing is,
you think that it would go back to maybe the Jordan Love pick.
But it goes back so goddamn far.
Like, I had no idea about Jordy.
I mean, I feel like even AJ wanting to take less money
and them still basically telling him to leave
and who's one of Aaron's closest friends.
There's just so many layers to it that you can't really point to one thing
but the back-to-back NFC championships and them basically just being like,
well, you're probably on your way out.
There's nothing we can do to get this team over the hump.
It's ridiculous that that would happen.
Well, and also we've learned that to get money to spend for the Packers is very simple.
Easy.
The Packers could spend whenever, however, whatever, basically.
Defer to football.
It's kind of what Andrew Brandt told us.
He was formerly a contract.
I think he was the salary cap guy.
Yeah, the vice president of finance or something.
And he said, anytime you want to that board and said, hey, we want to make this deal.
They're like, yep, fucking do it.
Yeah, do it. So it's like you have power now given to people and this is the owner conversation and not every owner is going to be able to hand craft was able to manage i guess for another couple
years and extend it but it was still much different i think and who knows 10 years down the road we'll
probably hear more stories from either tom or bill and hopefully they'll be friends at that point so
they'll be able to who knows i don't who gives a fuck if they're
friends as long as they tell us what the hell happens but there's a chance we learn about a
lot more of that maybe we'll find out the craft did do a lot of like kind of mending fences yeah
but with no owner you just kind of got a like you just got to hope i guess that the people that are
in power will do the team right you you know, and who's voting for.
I mean, it's just like, what if it gets in the hands of the wrong person?
And maybe I'm not saying it is NFC Championship Cup, but what if there are some decisions that aren't the right decisions being made with the owner?
You can defer to somebody like, hey, this is your money.
This is your pocket.
You can do this in the Packers situation.
There's none of that.
It's like this person is the end-all, be-all.
It's not his pocket.
It's not his thing.
Who's getting deferred?
You know what I mean?
Would Aaron, if he's actually, and we've asked this question before,
would he have to go into that board with a pitch deck?
Yeah.
Like, is that what he would have to do?
The owner thing is much bigger than I ever realized as a player, as a fan,
until I got into this and started following along with the Packers.
Speaking of this situation.
Here we go.
Potential breaking news.
Okay.
I'd say definitely.
My sources have told me.
Very good sources, by the way.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Let's just go ahead and say very good sources.
Aaron Rodgers has never had his house deep cleaned by anyone.
Whoa.
Whoa.
That's what my sources have told me.
I thought it was scheduled for this week.
Yeah.
He hasn't done it the last 10 years.
I have never had my house deep cleaned.
Oh, shit.
Aaron told me.
My sources. years i have never had my house deep clean oh shit aaron told me my sources here we go it is a good source i did not like i've never had my house deep cleaned by anyone but my amazing cleaner so i think he has somebody personal yes i believe i don't know
maybe lace knows this lady i'm not a lady that posts on facebook maybe late or or man whoever it is maybe lace knows this but i've never had my house deep cleaned by anyone but
my cleaner okay also the country club renewal isn't something like i pick and choose to do
so i honestly believe aaron might be living like an amish person for a while
coming back into the world he saw our video yesterday about his house being deep clean
what the fuck
sends me a text like this come on and not true and i wonder if he just got caught up on the
country club news like you know what i mean like did he just get caught up on the country club
he's like i did not i did not so i don't think he was telling me that to say like, hey, I am cutting all ties in Green Bay.
I think he was saying like, hey, this is some bullshit stories.
Yeah, a little house cleaning.
Let's go ahead and take this thing.
Let's take it easy.
Which we suspected yesterday when we saw it.
I mean, you know, yeah, it's nice.
But the Brian Connie supervisor's office isn't just giving out,
hey, we're cleaning Roger's house next week.
All right, tell everybody.
Tell everybody you know.
They're not doing that.
But that is the story.
That is the Aaron Rodgers story.
Yeah.
The country club renewal was massive.
Huge.
Aaron, welcome back to society. He's probably not here now.
Yeah, he already checked in.
Yeah, yeah.
He's already checked in.
Hey, if it's Friday, Aaron, Smackdown tonight is going to be a good one.
John Cena is going to be here.
Tune in.
Tune in.
Whenever you come back, I don't know when you're coming back.
So the house cleaning thing ain't real.
He's not selling the house, and it doesn't mean he's coming back.
No.
Maybe.
We don't know.
We don't know.
The golf thing, it's not like that just happens.
He can eat that one and be okay.
So we are still right now in the same moment we were two months ago
with this situation.
On draft night.
No information.
Well, and for a while there, I was expecting him to show up the first day
of camp.
I figured it'd just be like, yeah, he's not going to show up until then.
And then Rap Sheet came on and told us, well, he's probably going to go to
camp, but it's not going to be the first day.
I don't know if he said the first day. I think he is a packer, though, well, he's probably going to go to camp, but it's not going to be the first day.
I don't know if he said the first day.
I think he is a packer, though, is what rap portion were like.
What?
So what are we missing here? What does that mean?
What do you know?
By the way, I did not abuse that text message.
No, not at all.
No, I'm saying I did not text back like, oh, wait a minute.
What's going on?
So you're not selling your house?
You are selling your house?
What's going on?
Are you going to golf there ever again?
Do you see yourself ever golfing there again?
I did not do a full journalism breakdown, and I apologize.
I've let down the world.
But I did get an update from a very good source on the situation.
Yeah, very reputable.
And at this point, it does feel like the one year and then, you know,
see you later, Green Bay is the most likely situation.
Yeah, Peter King put that, or Monday morning quarterback.
Breer?
Football morning in America.
Breer, somebody, football morning in America, one of them.
Every Monday, and I think Peter's back from his break.
Tirico did the last one.
I was asked to do the Peter King break blog thing last year.
No way.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He wanted a copy of it four weeks early.
Okay. Had to be 17,000 words. Yeah. Yeah. He wanted a copy of it four weeks early. Okay.
Had to be 17,000 words.
Oh.
So a little late.
Yeah, I'm a pass, Pete.
He wanted you to write
about a story
a month before
the article was going to drop.
He wanted to see it,
give it a full rundown,
do the whole thing.
I'm like...
Grammar check.
I'm like,
I appreciate that.
I understand your due diligence
and everything like that,
but who has the time
to write two books four
months before they're going out not me find someone else buddy not me and i assume not
everybody has to do that he probably has a lot more trust in a lot of other people
he doesn't want you saying the f word something to think about hey i would put f dash dash dash
that'd have been good take up more more space. Smart. Yeah, maybe even the star. Star's good. Yeah, I might put star.
Everybody in Indianapolis is incredibly enthused and pumped about the person joining us right now via satellite.
I don't know how AJ feels about it, but I'm excited about it as are the boys here.
AJ, how's Ohio?
Excited for the next guest?
Oh, man.
People, like during that break, I had people pounding my door down.
They were so juiced.
Might have been Axel.
I heard he does that every single day.
That's why he might end up in space, but he ain't working for anybody else.
Joining us now, a man who might have an inside information if he was to, in space and with
everything happening in the NFL, ladies and gentlemen, Emmy-nominated host of Good Morning
Football, also co-host of Flying Coach.
The last episode airs
manana on Spotify. Ladies and gentlemen,
Peter Schrader.
Come on, Pete!
What are you doing? Drinking, Donner? You playing a little flip cup?
A little red solo cup
for you today on a wonderful Tuesday
afternoon in New York. Hey, you can flip
that thing well or no? Pretty good.
Pretty good. A lot of training.
Really? what is the
technique of choice are you a finger flipper are you a shoulder flipper are you a scooper and grabber
with the other hand what is your style shoulder it's actually that's a great point it's all on
the shoulder and if you get the shoulder you can really get it going but uh i like being the anchor
i like being the one with all the pressure game on the line nice bring it to me i'll do it i'll
finish the job you're one a one flipper, yeah?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, if I'm not doing one flip, it's a letdown.
And it's a long, long night of thinking about how I could replay it in my head and could have gone about things differently.
I've always said flip cup is the best party game
because the atmosphere is that of a sporting event.
Everybody's involved, the electricity, the energy.
And you can handicap it, too, just by putting more beer
in your cup. If you have better drinkers than the other team, it's the, it's the best game.
Can I give you a hot take, Pat? I'm actually not a fan. If you're at a big party, I'm not a fan
of the Beirut beer pong situation. I feel like it is very isolating. It is something that it's
just for those four people. Now look, if you're paired up with a female that you want to get to know better and you want to have some time and that's a good
opportunity for that but for the general party atmosphere those games go on forever i agree it's
only those four people everyone's watching i like the flip cup i'm more of a let's all bring it in
together i agree shrags and also i mean if you get caught with four bad players oh man you can't
even watch.
Like, people will watch as a spectacle, you know, maybe.
Yeah, something to do.
If it's something to do.
But then you're ultimately going to find yourself.
If there is a flip cup game and there are people pounding tables, I mean, it's just a much different vibe.
I mean, I'm happy you're on our team, though, Schrags.
I would have never guessed that, by the way.
I want to let you know that.
I would have pegged you as a, I have a great beer pot.
I would have tagged you as that.
Maybe a dice guy.
You played the dice game ever?
Did do the dice.
Look, quarters was a thing when I was in college.
You have a guy that rolled it off your nose?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, here we go.
It's like the guy who takes out the acoustic guitar at the party.
All right.
So thank you for joining us.
And AJ, I think, agrees with everything we're saying.
We're down to earth people here.
And AJ, sorry about that.
I think we cut you off three times in that whole thing.
That's another day for you, though, and I appreciate you being able to do that.
Schrags, you probably played flip cup or beer pong or maybe even quarters with a guy who's a head coach of the Los Angeles Rams.
That's why you guys are so tight.
Last episode of Flying Coach comes out tomorrow. We're excited for it. But let's talk about the Rams. There's
some breaking news going on right now. You had a breaking news as well. Cam Akers,
Terrence Achilles, you're reporting they're not necessarily interested. They like who's in their
running back room already. Adrian Peterson's out there. There's some other names. What's the feel
out of the Rams camp, you think? Well, we spoke earlier this morning before the news went massive,
and it was not the world is ending,
the Rams are doomed, our offense can't run.
It's a great feeling of anguish from the Rams building
because they love that kid Cam Akers,
and he was set to have a huge season.
But this is not going to be,
oh my God, we've got to bring Todd Gurley
or Le'Veon Bell or Adrian Peterson. And they think the running back room is fairly deep and that the way this offense
works they're going to be okay and they're going to be all right for now now look we have a whole
training camp let's see they can assess it but this is not hey let's get in line and go bring
in some veteran because we're worried we just lost our 30 carries from Cam Akers I also think
that this offensive game plan it's going to be
pass focused more than just run the ball focused and cam acres was such a dynamic receiver out of
the backfield and what he did in the playoffs was take the ball under center a few times in that
wildcat against the packers in that game which was pretty exciting he offers a lot as far as
variety he's not just hey run the ball three yards cloud of dust what he does is you can't
really replicate it with a girly or a levion bell or an adrian peterson at this point in their
careers shrigs it seems like uh like mcveigh is very very excited about having matthew stafford
there like can you get a sense when you talk to him when you do these podcasts just does he feel
is he it seems like he's almost giddy like and he can't wait for the season to start and what he has
yeah aj it's a term i had never heard before doing this podcast,
and he's mentioned it about a dozen times.
Above the neck.
Is that a term you've ever heard?
That the above the neck is through the roof.
Listen, it's almost like a zero-sum game when he talks publicly about Stafford.
When he says something good about Stafford, it's viewed as an insult to Jared Goff.
That is not the case.
He and Jared actually have a far better relationship right now than anyone would imagine.
They're fine.
And Sean has a lot of love for Jared.
But what Stafford does pre-snap, during the plays, it's not even like they've had a chance to see it, the two of them, out in action together.
It's more what Sean sees on film in their conversations.
So, yes, he's very excited about what Stafford does. His arm is as live as it's more what sean sees on film and their conversations so yes he's
very excited about what stafford does his arm is as live as it's ever been he's healthy but it's
the above the neck stuff which you know is a lot of the stuff they say about rogers when when he
was first you know really finding his groove in the 2010 2011 2012 season it's like what he can
do pre-snap and what he sees and then with the shot clock at five seconds can make a play call and a design.
That's something that no one else can do because cerebrally he's so quick.
Sean sees that in Stafford.
Stafford is really good physically, really good mentally.
And I think they're really excited to work together.
Did you hear what old Ward said up there in San Fran?
That was fascinating to me.
And did McVay hear that?
What Ward said, a cornerback who said, still Matt Stafford.
I mean, what are we even talking about? And then I think
he said, Jared Goff got them to the
Super Bowl and he's out of there. Yeah, his exact
quote, shout out to Florio and
Pro Football Talk for quoting this. He's
the same quarterback who was on Detroit Lions
and they still didn't get a playoffs. They had Megatron.
Alright, what was the problem over there in Detroit? Well,
there's not enough time in the fucking day
to get into that. But
is Sean McVay
is he cognizant of any of this
stuff that's going on there's a lot of people that think
Stafford is not good at football and I am not one of them
I'm not one of them I've always been on the
I've watched the Lions games because
we have a guy who's from Detroit
and if you're really friends with somebody
you want to watch their team so you can potentially
you know run it
that whole thing but also I got a chance to meet stafford at a wedding and he was super cool
so i'm like okay this guy's cool he's good i think the world is going to be excited does mcveigh know
about any of that or even care at all like is he the type of guy who's like uh wait till they see
what matthew like is that has that been something you've kind of it's not there's there's no like
chip on the shoulder it's you and me versus the world. And I would say that interview was actually done by a guy named Grant Cohn,
who's a local San Francisco beat reporter.
And kudos to him.
He got Jimmy Ward for an hour and basically kept our show,
Good Morning Football, afloat with those kind of quotes for a week
when there was no other news.
And Jimmy Ward, a lot of that stuff that he was saying at length was like,
he was actually respectful of Stafford's game.
He was like, I just don't get it.
Like, I don't get why all of a sudden they're the Super Bowl favorite
when we've beaten them four times in a row
and Jared Goff took them to a Super Bowl.
I respect that honesty.
And from the Niners' point of view and their defense, you know,
McVay's offense hasn't been lights out.
They held them to 20 points and 16 points last year when they were all injured.
So what are we doing here?
What are we ooing and aahing about?
And I think that's a big opinion amongst a lot of people. Now, does Sean hear it? Not directly,
not necessarily, but he's aware of what's going on in the periphery. And I think Stafford is aware
as well. It's not one of these things where they go to sleep with bulletin board material,
put a picture of Jimmy Ward up on their mirror or anything, but they're aware it's happening.
And I'm sure it's going to come up at some point in the pep talks
in the August training camp sessions.
That's awesome.
Can't wait to hear it.
I'm excited for the world to see Matthew Stafford.
I also enjoy that he's saying that.
Now, Sam Fran played Detroit twice, I believe, since he's been there.
And who won?
Yeah, well, one of the games.
Yeah.
Detroit beat him.
And then on that, yeah, mean it was it was just fascinating
to hear whose wedding were you at with with stafford i love playing the social game who was
it let's do the connections kevin bacon style no i don't play those connections games really
what do you mean the player shrinks i don't play those games you hear me i don't do that
yeah i'm trying to connect your career and stafford's. I want to see the program. That's not a player. Oh, don't worry.
Hey, Jay.
Hey, we don't need fucking blues clues here, pal.
You hear me?
Go ahead, Ty.
Shrakes, with the report that Schefter released this morning,
do you see any changes in the Aaron Rodgers situation,
even though it wasn't really breaking news
and it was just repackaged as breaking news?
And also, I know you don't really do it,
but who's going to be the guest on Flying Coach tomorrow?
No, look, it's news.
Adam's got it.
He's like, there's an offer, and he declined it.
I think we all knew that the intention for Rodgers was never about money.
He makes a ton of money, and it's not the way he seems to be guided.
He certainly doesn't ever come off as a guy who needs more coin.
But I think it goes back to what Aaron said all along.
And what he said with Kenny Mayne, which I think was the best little insight since this stuff came out at the draft from Aaron's side of it.
And it was basically it's like it's a people business.
And I don't feel like they're running things like an organization should.
It's very corporate and when you get between the draft and now two quotes from
the president and one of them is saying that aaron's situation has divided the fan base and
the other one's saying complicated fella it sheds a light on some of the stuff that aaron might be
alluding to um but yes i don't think there's any number money wise that he would say okay well
let's let bygones be bygones at this point and i always defer to aj hawk on these situations when
we're on this together
because I'm assuming and I'm reading between the lines and I'm going with
what I know,
but certainly Aaron's not driven by an extra million dollars or two at this
point.
No, I don't think yet.
Yeah.
He's made it clear from the beginning, hasn't he?
It's not about money, not about a new contract.
I think you hit it.
You hit it right on, Shregs.
If you listen to Mark Murphy,
the comments that he has said publicly and you actually think about it like yeah this is what
aaron said right like this is shregs you wouldn't do relationships it's all it is shregs you wouldn't
do what we did though at the beginning of that because ty asked you a leading question basically
saying like this isn't breaking news like right we're all agreeing you're like that's a piece of
news you said i guess it is but that's kind of been this entire story, right?
And we, you and us and everybody has been like, AJ, what the hell is going on?
And AJ is like, unless AJ is a better actor than some people that, you know,
potentially were in the number one Hollywood box office. I'm not that good.
I'm not saying LeBron.
I'm saying other people in the movie, too.
Oh, you better not be saying Don Cheadle.
Oh, I'm not talking about LeBron.
Just know that.
You're talking about Don Cheadle?
No!
I mean, there was a couple times he was holding something in his hand
and he was staring at his wrist.
I mean, it was just like, what are we doing?
You talking about that traitor John Cena?
All right.
Shreg, sorry this has turned into this,
but there has been no information on it,
which is crazy because we're a week out.
Teams are reporting right now the Bucs are at the White House.
Any early news or things we should look at as teams are on the training camp shregs anything you're hearing the bucks are at
the white house the milwaukee bucks are playing a game six at home the owner of the team is aaron
rogers does he show up does he make his face if he is i mean it would be a shame if a team that
he's an owner of that he was going to worthless regular season games for,
he can't show up to game six of the finals through fear of either,
A, taking the spotlight away from the team,
or B, the reception by the scoreboard.
I'm fascinated to see if he shows up.
I have no insight on him if he does,
but tonight I don't care less about the basketball.
I want to see if Rodgers is there.
Bakhtiari's had a nice little second career here as the beer chugger.
Let's see if Rodgers is there.
Aaron doesn't want to get into Bakhtiari's had a nice little second career here as the beer chugger. Let's see if Rodgers is there. Aaron doesn't want to get into Bakhtiari's.
Come on.
Hey, Aaron knows Bakhtiari is where the bread is buttered, okay?
He understands.
He's not going to be chugging beers, but, Pat, if you owned an NBA team,
wouldn't you want to be there if the confetti's falling and this is your team?
Wouldn't you like to be able to say, this is Milwaukee, this is what I invested in,
I would like to be there?
I wish I could make seven straight putts to Barry, Phil
Mickelson, and Tom Brady as well. Aaron and I
are much different human beings.
As I think, you know, you should
view that as the same way as well.
Go ahead, Connor. Yeah, Pete, Benny Boland
wrote an article in the Boston Globe that
I like Ben. Yeah, me too. He's a good guy.
That his sources are telling
him that it's not a real QB competition
with New Orleans and the Saints and that they're going with Taysom Hill.
Is that what you're hearing as well?
And is this because of the fact that Jimmy Winston is throwing towels
and dodging dogs or no?
I'm always here for the Jimmy Winston workout video.
No, Sean hasn't tipped his car.
He hasn't tipped his car. His hand. Yeah, there it is.
Tipped his hand on the starter.
I think all this is conjecture until we get to week one.
Peyton loves – he's the kind of guy that would say we're going with Taysom Hill and then week one we don't see Taysom Hill under center one.
So I don't – look, as much as they practice in training camp,
this is Winston's second season, Taysom's fifth, whatever it is.
They're going to be good to go.
They're both going to fully know the playbook.
But I'd be very surprised if we don't see a bunch of both of them.
And I'd be very surprised if it wasn't a competition at some point
for that week one who's taking the first snap.
I want to go back to – you mentioned the flying coach.
Can I give you guys some clues on who we got?
Yes, please.
Is it Sean?
Did you find out who the starting quarterback for the Saints is
tomorrow? Here we go. It's not
Sean Payton. I'll just say it straight up.
It's a guy that we've mentioned before. Mike Tomlin's doing
it.
He's amazing.
We recorded it already.
So we don't get into Cam
Akers off the top of this thing.
Mike Tomlin is incredible
in this hour. I will tell you this.
I implore everyone, it uh it goes live download this podcast it's a combo it's mike tomlin and it's raheem
morris who we go okay who is now sean's defensive coordinator tomlin and morris worked together for
five years in tampa they wanted to come on together and talk about coaching talk about
their journey.
But I assure you this, whatever you want to say about the Steelers and the playoffs, if you listen to this podcast for an hour
and you're a Steelers fan, you will want to run through a freaking wall
for your head coach.
He is that good, that dialed in, so much so that I went into this thinking,
all right, Steelers, they're in a battle with the Browns ands and the ravens are probably the third team heading into the season based on what
that i might be like all right steelers going to the super bowl this year this guy is so
dialed in right now and he is so good with like wisdom because a lot of this is coaching wisdom
and you know i asked him i'm like in, you were the defensive coordinator for one year for the Minnesota Vikings.
Bill Cower steps away.
You walk into that interview room and you get the Pittsburgh Steelers head coaching
job over Ken Wisenhunt, who had been there for years, over Russ Grimm, who had been there
for years.
How'd you do it?
And his whole thing was like, I live every day with a nothing to lose attitude.
Everything you have to do is in front of you in the day and go and be carefree and just do it.
And, you know, I said it for 15 years.
How do you still find that motivation?
And I think both of you guys will really appreciate this.
And, Pat, I know how close you are with Coach Pagano and AJ.
I know how close you are with your coaches.
His thing is a player's playing career is this
small and I know that every single day and if I can go out there and extend that window or make
the most out of that window and treat him with the respect that he's giving the game like that
inspires me to get out of bed every morning I've never once lost that competitive spirit it's all
about the players and maximizing their ability to make generational wealth and maybe as a team coming
together and having an amazing moment hoisting a Lombardi Mike Tomlin might be our best interview
yet we did 10 of them and I if you're a Steelers fan I swear you want to run to Latrobe right now
and just start doing up down well I just want to let you know that you just said four very
cliche coaching things there as a preview for does Tomlin loosen up does he get wide open the
reason why Raheem's on there, by the way,
is because Tomlin was like,
I don't know those motherfuckers.
Yeah, pretty much.
And I think that is why I love Tomlin so much.
I've said this before.
He is the reason why any scouts look to me at my pro day.
He led the workout for me at West Virginia
because Bill Stewart, I think, gave him his first job at um wow virginia william and mary yeah let me william and mary bill stewart gave him his first
job central arkansas i know he was there for arkansas state one of those i think it was
william and mary but the uh they had a close relationship and he put me through the entire
workout basically field goal and then i punted some afterwards and he put it through there and
he was he was like taught virginia military it's there it is VMI there it is VMI yeah so he um and William and
Mary's where he played right yeah okay so he put me through that workout though and while I was
doing things he was either he was hyping up what I was doing like to the scouts and talking shit
to me at the same time so it was like a it was like a cool thing you know and he knew I was from
Pittsburgh I think and Bill Stewart had given him a heads up like hey you can talk like hey you
can pat like likes that time he has always been nothing but nice to me and somebody that's from
pittsburgh getting to see him work i am so excited that you got a chance to chat with him because
he never does interview shrugs no ever no and and the one quick story i'll tell because i want you
to listen it's a lot of story time with him and Raheem going back to the early 2000s.
But Raheem Morris gets married, invites basically all his coaching buddies,
and Sean McVay is the youngest one there and whatever.
He's at the wedding, and he's a single guy,
and Raheem and him were coaches in Washington together.
And everyone's hanging out, and some kid, like a teenage kid,
jumps in the deep end of the pool the day after the wedding
where everyone's hanging out by the pool and swims down to the end of the pool and comes all the way back
without breathing and raheem morris is looking around he's like yeah man that is the way to do
it and mike tomlin's like yeah and his story about mcveigh is here's mcveigh and he's like uh i can
do it two times back and forth and everyone's like bullshit you can't but mcveigh is such a competitive
sick pup that he needs to do this move in the pool you know the move in the pool you go and
you just hold your breath the whole way nose yeah hold your nose and so mcveigh's like yes
so everyone starts talking it up and it becomes this big thing where everyone around the pool
is seeing can mcveigh do it can mcveigh so fired up to do this at a wedding you know the day after
a wedding when they were all having a good time the night before,
McVay goes,
goes back and forth,
does it,
he says,
gets it out.
He says their celebration was like, they just won the Lombardi trophy going nuts that McVay was able to do
this.
And everyone else at the resort is like,
these people are crazy,
but that's like Tomlin telling a story.
And you never see that side of Mike Tomlin.
I'm so happy.
He opened up with us on flying coach.
Yeah.
We're lucky.
I can't wait to hear it.
Congrats to you on a hell of a season with flying coach by the way we hope it gets extended for another one if not
i assume we would love to dump money into an operation of you and mcveigh interviewing people
we have loved it it's really been the only show that we've stuck with that i think from outside
of here yeah really through this entire thing it's been a finite thing we only want to do 10
episodes so you know there's an end in sight it's kind of nice um and likewise to you pat i'm watching clips on twitter john cena makes his
great return and you have the all-time greatest line like any fan at home wait you should shrags
there was a uh there was about a i guess two second maybe a second long volleyball in my head of like, do I say it?
Do I not say it's a big moment?
Ah, fuck it.
Where'd it go?
And I, I, I've watched it back a few times.
Uh, it's incredible.
It's a movie.
I'm not supposed to be in that's a video game situation.
I'm not supposed to feel that way.
Yeah.
I think we all can feel that way about life sometimes and you've earned it, my friend.
And it's, it's entertaining the rest of us.
So keep it going.
I appreciate that.
My dumb ass life.
Hopefully we'll be able to do that forever, which is what we talked about entertaining the rest of us, so keep it going. I appreciate that. My dumbass life hopefully will be able to do that forever,
which is what we talked about earlier.
Ladies and gentlemen, Peter Schrager.

fall fall fall from grace to an attic ladies and gentlemen on this show aj
far fall from grace, sir.
I apologize for that misleading there.
But welcome back.
Great to have you.
How you doing?
Hey, good to be here, man.
What happened in the first hour?
I know Diggs had a situation online.
Some guys punked him right on their show as well.
What else?
Okay, so we weren't going to dive into that, you know, but.
I assumed you guys already covered it, so I just wanted a quick recap.
No, because Hammerdown Boys just got into the studio, by the way.
Gumpy, how you doing?
At Tone Diggs, the Kofi Cowboy.
I mean, there was quite a scene on the internet yesterday with old Tone Diggs.
I saw a video of him driving home from the softball game. Whoa!
On the internet, at Tone Diggs.
Is everything all right?
Do we have any housekeeping that we need to get after?
Are you in a beef right now
currently with anybody? Is life good?
Nope, life's all good.
They're saying that
you turned your back on your city, Tom.
No.
I was just reading the comments.
This is hammered down.
This is HDB.
I was just reading the comments. Look at AJ, down. This is HDB. I was just reading the comments.
Look at AJ, by the way,
smoking his cigar.
He's just gumpy.
You dance, Klotz.
He's like Jeff Bezos.
Yeah, he is.
He's like Jeff Bezos.
Bezos.
We don't know what his actual name is.
Bezos.
Bezos.
I heard Jeff Bezos say,
hi, I'm Jeff Bezos of Amazon in a video.
And then I've heard other people that say, no, it's Bezos or whatever.
And those people stand by whatever the case.
Our space cowboy that is the richest guy on earth or whatever.
He cut a promo.
Okay.
Immediately after we.
All right.
This turn is not helping out.
Dave. All right, this turn's not helping out. Dave, stop.
They were playing the radio show, it sounds like.
I don't know where that's coming from.
Well, it's coming from back there.
That's where it's coming from.
I know where it's coming from.
We know where.
It's coming, I believe, directly from where your hands are right now zeta i had bezos up and i don't
know what happened there but he is up ready for you right now though yeah well perfect we need
to talk about what was that other video is that something i believe it was a digs runaway car
clip oh see zeta this is what i need you to do whenever you're in here with us okay i need you
to keep going i know you can get distracted immediately by a Jeep that has digs
and a vanity plate across the back of that thing.
That is the Digilio family.
Zito, if you'd like to make fun of Coach Diggs.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
The president of the Italian club.
The president of the Italian club in Plum making fun of his vanity plates
on the back of his Jeep? No, no, no.
Grand Cherokee?
We were talking about who was in the driver's seat,
who was in the passenger's seat.
Okay.
Yeah, well, we weren't talking about that on this show.
You're talking about off-air,
which leads me exactly back to where I was.
We're not playing that, okay?
I'm not a guy who's going to air the digs his car out on the guy.
Hell no.
Like the rest of the year.
I'm happy you would like to do that.
You can do that in your life.
But with Bezos, he took off in a penis-shaped thing.
Oh, yeah.
It was – did you see this thing, AJ?
I saw bits and pieces.
I did not get to see his speech when he landed.
Well, the speech is what we will get to.
But his rocket that he took off in, real thin capsule,
and then it had a little mushroom head on top.
Yeah, perfect. A little mushroom head on top. Yeah, perfect.
A little mushroom head on top.
So did Elon.
Elon has a little penis head, too.
Okay, so Elon's got a...
I should say big penis head.
I'm guessing if it's a rocket.
In the grand scheme of things.
I mean, I don't know what we're comparing him to.
It's all relative, yeah.
Well, Bezos had four people in the tip of his head.
Yeah, that's massive.
He shoots up there.
He goes into space.
The rocket that took him up the shaft,
it comes back down. It lands
all by itself. Then, yeah, then
Bezos and his brother
and somebody else, they come back down with
some parachutes and
absolutely
boom! Wow. I mean,
it seems like the sand dissipates
quickly, like almost before they hit.
Is there anything slowing them down?
I don't think so.
They hit Earth pretty hard there.
I don't remember how hard Branson hit.
I don't think we ever saw that.
Was it in the water?
Maybe.
I'm not sure.
He came down pretty hard, hit, but the space cowboy, Jeff Bezos, won over and cut a promo
immediately after doing so.
I didn't know he was full heel.
Did you hear what he said?
Have you heard this?
No, I'm curious.
I want to see what happened.
Play it.
And then I also want to thank every Amazon employee and every Amazon customer
because you guys paid for all this.
So seriously, for every Amazon customer out there and every amazon employee thank
you from the bottom of my heart very much okay you're welcome yeah yeah no problem jeff so this
is why this is why his wife was trending then right his wife his ex-wife because she is giving
away like 58 billion dollars or saying she's giving away more than anybody and he's blowing
people's money to go to space for whatever reason well i mean he has a reason to go to space it is fascinating that all these rich people want to get to space as fast as
possible i don't know what that means okay i just i i you know you hear old songs like from prince
and stuff talking about you know there's always been this chatter by very wealthy folks about
getting off of earth and richard branson's been trying to do this for a long time elon has come
in very quickly and taken it over bezos as soon as he got money he's like i don't need to get the
fuck out of here let's go and i don't know if it's like their escape thought or if they want
to explore more take over more they see good business whatever the case they all want to get
up there right i appreciate the fact though that bez comes down, puts a fucking cowboy hat on.
Yeah.
All right?
Puts a cowboy hat on this guy.
And, you know, we have seen this man in an apartment with spray paint behind him, you know, looking like a beat up.
Hey, why is this watch over his long sleeve shirt?
Tell the time.
It's a Rolex.
Okay?
It's probably pretty expensive.
And also, yeah, he needs to know what time it is just because he's going to space.
What is,
who knows all this shit,
but Bezos thanking my wife directly was very nice of him.
And I thought he was potentially going to say none of this is possible without
it or whatever,
but him just going,
you paid for all this shit is maybe my favorite heel moment of all time.
I did not expect that.
Congrats to him still being alive, though.
I thought there was a chance he was going to be dead with this whole thing.
Just like I thought with Branson.
I thought these things blow up.
Seems like they got it figured out.
Good for humanity, I guess.
I mean, obviously, there's definitely a chance that it could blow up.
So what?
They're just going up.
They're not getting into orbit.
They're just hitting space and coming back down, right?
Yeah, but they're doing zero gravity like you can do on a plane in North Carolina, by the way, for like a thousand bucks.
They're hitting
zero gravity, though.
I saw Branson floating around.
Edge of space, they're saying.
That's where old buddy Red Bull jumped out?
Felix?
Is that where he jumped out from?
So Felix has been up here long for Amy's fucking billionaires.
That's right.
And he free fell.
And he passed out. And almost didn't take a shit. And he free fell. Yeah. And he passed out.
Yeah.
And almost didn't get off, right?
Right.
Yeah.
Just kept going.
I wonder if they'll ever do that again where they'll create something in there that kicks the person out, you know, just in case at a height.
Eject button.
I thought that, do you remember when that guy did that for Red Bull, I think?
Yeah, it was awesome.
I might, I forget if he passed out On way down
I think on the way up
He passed out
Was it
Way down
So many circles
He was going
Oh because how fast
He was spinning
Yeah
Because
Then maybe my immediate
Thought after hearing that
Is what if he passes out
On the way up
Like have you
Said what happens
Yeah
Then
Oh then he floats
Into space
And he dies
And that would be
The difference between
Him and what these guys are doing, right?
Yeah.
Because he's not going up in some hoity-toity ship shaped like a dick.
That thing's space junk right now, the thing that took him?
Yeah, pretty much.
And that thing had the power to get past the—
I thought the balloons were going to pop at some point, if I remember correctly.
I could be wrong, though.
Yeah, that thing wouldn't have just taken off up into orbit after he jumped so he would have been dropped into earth regardless there i thought
he had a little power thing yeah and i thought that thing just floated into space i'm sure they
can control it you know they can control it from the ground though too i'm sure he is controlling
things but they definitely have backup systems so we've had rockets that go to space something
that can be in control from the ground for all time then right i think so weren't the spacex ones
on unmanned because a lot of
them were blowing up?
What the fuck was Felix Baumgartner on?
He was in a little capsule.
I wonder, how did
he get up there? Do we know?
Because that wasn't the balloons.
The balloons was...
David Blaine.
So was this thing
strapped to a shaft and shot him up there and then the shaft is out there in space junk now? Yeah, was this thing strapped to a shaft
and shot him up there and then the shaft
is out there in space junk now?
Did this dude do a
rocket launch? Maybe we should look back
on what Felix Baumgartner did a little bit better.
Put some respect on his name.
How the hell did he get up there?
Who flew it?
How did he get out of that thing?
With a button?
Red Bull gives you wings, AC.
Yeah.
Tastes like absolute dog shit, but it'll give you wings.
It got bomb-grounded into fucking space.
It was a helium balloon.
That pulled that thing up?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Big old son of a bitch.
Big balloon.
It pulled it up to the stratosphere.
How high was he, and how high is Bezos and Branson?
Approximately 39 kilometers, so 24 miles into the stratosphere.
They were all in the stratosphere.
So they're all in the same area.
Yeah.
They weren't in orbit.
They were just in the stratosphere.
How many thousand feet is it?
Over 100,000.
24 miles.
24 miles times 3, 3, 12, 80, 92.
Well, there's, what, 5,280 feet in a mile?
Oh, shit.
What?
5,280 times 24, whatever that is. I did it as if they were yards.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyways, you get it.
They were way up there, dude.
350,000 feet is where Bezos was.
Holy shit.
So Bezos was up there.
Is Branson at that height, too?
I think so.
Wasn't Baumgartner like 60,000 feet?
He wasn't 300,000 feet.
128, I think.
If it was 24 miles.
How does a helium balloon get you to 128,000 feet?
This helium balloon is unbelievable.
Yeah, I need to show a photo of the helium balloon if you got a G.
Because if I recall, it was massive.
And how did Chris Angel get his hands on that thing to do the thing?
Dave Blaine, I do believe he was gifted of all those balloons.
And let's keep in mind, inside the balloons was actually like a ship.
It was a drone.
Yeah, so that was a little iffy.
Oh, man.
AJ, you ever go into space?
If it's available, it is available for you.
You can pay for that right now.
Will you go?
No, I would not waste the money to do it right now, but I'm not against it.
I'd like to try it one day.
My ears pop on takeoff going down to Florida. I couldn't even imagine
what it would do at 20, 40,
60, 70, 80,
100,000 feet.
Your head would explode. My head would feel like it's going to blow
up, I would assume. Yeah.
That's what took Baumgartner up? Yeah.
Felix is right here. How high would it have...
That's Felix and then... That looks like
just like at a store you get a thing that
holds down a... Like a balloon? Yeah.
That's a human down there, the obviously we did know he was down there yeah how high would that could have gone do we know is the internet said that could that thing
it did it just go to 300 000 feet what would have what's why'd they go to only 350 you said
stratosphere what's that mean layers of the earth's atmosphere yeah and then outer space
is outside of that
if you get past that you gotta go through like the corona or whatever the hell it is
we're trying to go through corona down here oh yeah whoa yeah you need a rocket to get through
there because that that's where they have to have heat shields and all that they gotta you know
every movie you watch they gotta like ignite it to get through there and then all of a sudden boom
it's black and you're in space everybody has talked about this but it's real how does the sun bluetooth heat into this
who knows how the fuck does that happen aj how does i got a question pat no no answer that one
first i would like to answer that one first how does the sun bluetooth heat into our stratosphere
how does that happen how How does anything happen?
How did somebody, who was the first person that came up with?
I don't know.
Who thought of email?
Who thought of anything?
I don't know.
I think Hotmail maybe was the first email.
And there's some people that still have it.
And you go, okay, I'm never emailing you.
I'll tell you that.
You have no idea what the world's like.
You would still have an iPhone 6 or something.
No, I got a new iPhone.
Yeah, I'm just saying, we're talking about the same person who did Hotmail.
It's that same person. So let's fucking go ahead and back off, I got a new iPhone. Yeah, I'm just saying we're talking about the same person who did Hotmail is that same person.
So let's fucking go ahead
and back off.
I got the Gmail app, okay?
I don't have the Hotmail app.
Wait, what?
Forget it.
But you're right.
Every time we fly,
every time we fly,
how are we doing this?
Makes no sense.
The Wright brothers,
I understand they were able
to crash a plane
down on a beach or whatever
and they were born in Ohioio and everything like that oh yeah
there's planes though that are the size of fucking buildings and they're just somehow getting up and
flying for 20 hours and then just coming down peacefully how does that happen how i guess
there's some scientists going to come in there and go well well, the force, the up force with the air.
It's like, all right, fuck.
How does it work, though?
How does that even happen?
How do we find out?
It makes no sense how the world operates.
You're right.
So I guess we shouldn't just question just the rockets because everything else is insane.
But it's only a matter of time before we're just kind of traveling out of this whole thermosphere, right?
It's only a matter of time.
I guess.
So in this picture does
it show where bezos was or where uh richard branson was so 35 kilometers right is what they said yeah
so he's below the uh you know where you see that sounding rocket and uh the meteor he's right below
the meteor okay he's right below the meteor what's a sounding rocket you know is that the one that's
over my house going oh you're like what is up there i think so i think so is there something up there so they didn't even scratch
the surface why are we celebrating oh way to go you got the clots no i thought the 35 kilometers
was the uh bomb gardener guy i thought they got up to 350 000 feet bezos and numb which would be
what closer to the 80 kilometer mark?
Good call.
So they were almost in the thermosphere.
How many miles is
350,000 feet?
Alright, so 5,280.
I'm going to say 75.
66 miles up.
Okay, so much lower.
Yeah, they're much lower than what you were saying.
No, 66 miles is on the right side.
You led off with 90-80 is what you said.
66 miles is on the right side.
I understand it's above the fucking line,
but you started at
Mars almost, I think.
No!
It looks like it's on top of the thermosphere.
I got answers.
Are you going to address the car situation?
First, police.
Don't need to.
Please.
Bezos.
Hey, by the way, whoever's talking needs to pipe down about the digilias.
Yeah.
Tread carefully.
Be careful.
I don't know if this is a good idea.
Go coach Dix.
Yeah, they got a bocce team you do not want to run into because they will absolutely drop you.
Whoever's tailing coach coach that's just a bad
anyways go ahead uh bezos and crewmates will go a hundred thousand kilometers and then virgin
went 86 kilometers how many thousand kilometers a hundred kilometers sorry
that's a wide description. They hit bars? Holy shit. Take Branson?
100 for Bezos, 86 for Branson.
Oh, so Bezos was second but one higher.
Because he said, I can't wait to join the club.
He'll say that he's the 100 kilometers club.
That's what he'll say.
He'll probably make a bad answer.
Yeah, he will.
And he'll walk right up to my wife and say, hey, you order something every single day.
Thank you.
This fucking bad is because of you.
Thank you.
Thank you, Jeff.
You paid for this.
Thank you, Jeffrey.
Why don't we send Felix back up in the balloon?
See if that thing will fucking float to the moon and have him jump off.
The thing about Felix, a lot of people are looking forward to that.
I guess this particular space trip by the space cowboy, Jeff Bezos,
170,000 people said not keep him out there if he does.
Stay up there, Jeff.
We don't want you back.
They wanted to shut the biodome.
170,000 people were calling for him to get up there and then for him to shut the door
somehow and then stay out there.
170,000 people, allegedly.
That's allegedly.
Are those all Amazon workers?
Probably workers and then also all the small businesses that potentially.
Yeah, that are getting eviscerated by Amazon.
I guess now, though, what's the next step
for these guys? For Bezos
or Richard Branson? I think Mars,
right, has always been the goal. Or
Moon.
If they're the first
citizen to go to the
Moon without NASA. Commercial.
Yeah, they could be the first commercial people there.
Spacewalk would be the next logical step
here in the evolution. You could get out
there, get outside the craft,
take a little float around in orbit.
Yeah, but that's not the ultimate goal.
No, no, no. We're talking about Endgame here.
The Endgame is Mars. We're talking Endgame.
Mars is Endgame, right? Yeah. Building a civilization
that we can move to when the Earth dies.
Who said it? Paul Heyman said that if
Mars is inhabitable that if Mars is,
is it inhabitable?
Yes.
If Mars is habitable,
Vince McMahon will be up there
trying to run a show up there.
Uh-huh.
So is that what all these,
they're trying to get up there
just a stake ownership problem?
I think so.
Yeah, you can claim a goddamn continent up there
if you want.
So you can go up there and you can be,
hey, this right here,
base this land.
Exactly.
Which one? Oh, it's half fucking Mars, yeah. No, wherever your eyes can see, that's this is right here, Bezos land. Exactly. Which one?
Oh, it's half fucking Mars.
Yeah.
Wherever your eyes can see, that's mine.
So what are you going to do?
You got to go check in with them first whenever you get to Mars.
Let's say my kid.
Yeah.
Shout out to Midas Michael.
That boy Midas.
Okay, and Axel.
Axel and Midas Michael.
All right, a little tag team space cowboy duo.
They get up there.
They're farting around. Let's go to Mars. They get up there, they're farting around.
Let's go to Mars. They stop there.
Do they have to meet with somebody from
Branson or
Bezos' just to get a little piece of land?
Are they going to have to okay everything?
Is there going to be full negotiations? And what if it's no?
Are Axel and Midas going to have to
fucking turn around?
They'll probably have to be indentured servants. They'll have to work
for like four years on his property and then they'll get a little chunk.
Midas ain't doing it.
You going to let Axel do that?
No, Axel is not going to Mars, man.
Right now, isn't that a year trip one way?
Well, Midas is probably going to live on Mars
if I know anything about his parents.
He's going to be hot all the time,
and I am going to fucking go after him.
I'm going to let him know that ain't the way to do it.
Do as I say, do as I do. You could have him stage
a coup because
Bezos and Branson will be long dead
by that point. Maybe. I don't think so.
That's where I think you're wrong. You think they'll still be
up there? I think there's a chance people are going to live
long into their hundreds if they're rich enough nowadays
with how science is. Am I wrong in that?
They're going to be in a dome up there and they're going to get into little
domes that just cure all illnesses
immediately. I saw a video and I can't believe Vince doesn't have a rocket to go up yet.
Probably does.
Total recall.
I saw a video of him squatting 315, the equivalent of 315 last week.
Did you see that?
Vince McMahon?
Yes.
No, what do you mean the equivalent?
Was it a human?
It was a machine, but it was three plates on each side.
If we have it, I would love to see it if we have it.
Okay, so he, if you listen to the video, and I followed up and asked his trainer,
because I actually saw his trainer in the building, and I was like, hey, that fucking video was awesome.
And I was like, with that machine, what's that equivalent?
I know three plates, like 350.
He's like, about the same or whatever.
I guess early, he was not going down as far because somebody was telling him to maybe ease into it or something like that.
And then he goes, well, how low can he go?
And he fucking just goes all the way down
and then goes all the way up with 315 at the age of 75 or whatever.
And then he shows up at work the next night, the next night, the next night.
Then he works through the night.
Then he works through the night.
Then he shows up at work the next night.
Put that on repeat for 50 fucking years.
He just keeps going.
And then while I was talking to the
trainer, and I was like, is that
a personal record or anything? He was like, no, that's just another
day. That's just another day for Vince McMahon.
So Vince McMahon is hammering weight still
at this age, just pounding it out or whatever.
I thought to myself, and it's been a rumor,
that dude's never going to die.
Vince McMahon is never going to die. Somehow,
someway, Vince will be able to
figure out how to go over death.
Like somehow he'll be able to do it.
No, this isn't the one.
This is the pitch arc.
There's another one that they put out last week.
He's got wraps around his knees, and the thing is on his back.
You'll see.
That's awesome enough that he's wrapping his knees at 75 years old to squat.
Wow.
I mean, he's going past
i mean people that wrap their knees are there it is like big time bodybuilders yes squat machine
you have one in your office right now you know that yeah yeah it's over there i didn't know what
the equivalent was though weight wise you know because each machine is different look how deep
that is how does he go that deep does he at does he look at how deep that is. How does he go that deep?
Look at how fucking deep he is.
He's going out of the... I would imagine he would have a hip or knee replacement by now, right?
Probably.
Who knows?
He's Vince McMahon.
And now you think about Vince and then you think about Jeff trying to get to space.
Are these people...
Are they just...
Do they have the...
Are they not going to die?
Can they know?
That's awesome.
Because I'd like to know how that works.
I mean, if you do have that much money,
I guess you do have the secret to longevity and success.
So I'm sure they're tapped into it somehow.
Imagine Vince McMahon when he makes his first billion going,
all right, you fuckers, where's the immunity pill?
How do I live forever?
That's a guy he'll drop hey people say whatever they want to say about him he'll drop into my ear in the middle
of a show with something so brilliant and profound i'm like god damn that's why he's a billionaire
or whatever and then i'll say something and then he'll ask me a question immediately afterwards
and i'm like oh and that's why I'm not a billionaire.
It's a pretty cool little thing.
I've only seen him like three times, but I hear him every week.
We have a one-way conversation for like two hours a week or whatever.
I hope that one day, AJ, we can ride your coattails to space. I hope one day you invest in something awesome enough that you find out or create something, the immunity pill.
We are banking on you to kind of lead us to that promised land that the space cowboy who's cutting promos on everybody and Elon and Vince and everybody's at.
So if you could do that for us, I'd be very thankful.
Great.
I'll see what I can do.
I've told you on here before.
I tell my kids, like, I don't plan on dying.
Just because everybody else died doesn't mean I have to.
And by the way, that's the mindset that's going to get you a billion.
That's right.
Thank you, Mark.
It doesn't have to do with money.
Money doesn't matter.
Everyone's had tons and tons of money.
None of them can find a way to chase away death.
Well, do you win because you're happy or are you happy because you win? I think that mindset leads you to a successful life
there. Yeah. I don't know how to take that exactly, but yeah. Yeah. I just put you in a pretzel,
but you're going to be a billionaire, not me. So let's go ahead and talk about it. Do you have a
house cleaner? I do not. Why? Okay. Cause my sources told me earlier. Oh, okay. I saw. Okay.
Yeah. I saw it. Okay, yeah.
I saw it.
Your sources, Aaron, told you that he has never had his house deep cleaned, right?
Yeah, except for by his personal cleaner.
Do you know?
I assume you know that person or have seen that person.
No, I do not.
Okay, all right.
And then he said the Country Club Renewal is something that happens.
And once again, this is something I can't state enough.
I am not a person who's good with information.
You saw exactly how I handled that.
I gave away my source immediately upon having a piece of information.
Do you have any follow-up on anything I said?
Did you text him and correct if I was right or wrong?
Has anything happened this morning with you and Aaron?
And how do you feel about this situation as of this morning with the announcement that there was a two-year extendo that would have made him the highest paid
player he said no to any thoughts on any of that AJ Hawk I mean I don't have anything on the whole
house cleaning situation like whatever I didn't one way or the other I don't think it matters but
uh with the what the Schefter thing that came out today I mean that was that has been known
publicly that yeah contract's not the issue like that has been known publicly that yeah contract's not
the issue like that's been out there that that contract was offered a while ago i believe so
yeah what's new well well a lot of stuff well so what was it how much was it yeah oh i have no idea
oh come on aj thought we knew you know yeah i know i have no idea. I mean, haven't they said, though,
on other tweets, like, it's been known
that there has been a contract out?
Yeah, it's an accumulation of information continuing,
you know, and there is a
re-break of some news,
you know, on every day, but I think this is the first time we found out
that it was a two-year deal, which would have tied them there
for five years, which now leads us to think
like, okay, so that means they're quitting on Jordan Love,
they want to move on from Jordan Love.
It's like there's no real right answer.
Who knows what it looked like, though.
It could easily have outs for that team after each year, basically.
It could have been a terribly constructed contract,
but that would not lead to further relations being good,
which I guess is kind of where we're at right now.
It might have been a terribly constructed contract for aaron now they
said it would be the highest paid player what does that mean what do you what is that do we have any
idea what that means is that per year is that actual numbers each year because you know some
people's contracts are backloaded nowadays and there's a lot of money getting kicked down the
road how that wording of that is very interesting to me yeah it is i guess all that would mean what
in the first year or first couple years would he be highest like average per year if you got a big guarantee
this year or something you just told us i think wow see i told you guys i could get i could get
something he said there's no maybe it was a great deal hey maybe they offered him an unbelievable
deal and it's true that it's not about money it's not about the contract that could be the case too
hey and if it's not about money that means that the six million or whatever or 20 some million that means don't mean shit
oh no we gotta get to a break on the other side we'll have a guy nobody wants to give money back
though well not receiving money is different than giving money back yes very very different
very different and it seems like that some people that are talking about this situation or other situations can't separate those two.
It's like, oh, these are two very different things.
When I see the money in account, a number changes in a app much different than, oh, this money could be sitting here.
That's much different.
You can't say losing.
That's bugging me when people say, he just he just lost seven million dollars and i'm
i'm thinking like if you're talking about whoever a player that didn't get the next year their deal
like no they didn't they didn't have that money the money was never in until it's legit in their
account it's not their money you can't count on that especially as an athlete and until that money
is in the account we can't judge on whether or not they lost money because what if what they do
elsewhere leading up to that is
worth more money? Then did they lose money or did they
make money?
All right, that's
the show. We appreciate you guys so much
for listening, following along
on YouTube. There's so much
shit out there that you could be listening
to and we appreciate that
you guys spend your time with
us we are eternally grateful have a good one we'll see you later cheers សូវាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្វាប់បានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបាូវាប់ពីបានប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្� Thank you.
