Hello, it is Aaron Rodgers Tuesday, November 2nd, 2021.
What a day it is.
Aaron has a great conversation with us.
We can't thank him enough for his time.
Tyler Big Ball Bass of Bill's Mafia joins us.
The boys are on fire.
And I'm just kind of enjoying the ride alongside AJ Hawk.
Can't thank you enough for allowing us
to be a part of your day today.
If you enjoy this show by the end of it,
please be a friend and tell a friend.
If not, just act like it never happened. Let's get to it. Last night's Monday
night football game was an absolute barn burner, a thriller, an edge of your seat ride for four
quarters as the Kansas City Chiefs beat the New York Giants by three at home in a game that
left us with more questions about what the Chiefs are than
maybe we had going into the game.
We thought maybe last night was the game that Patrick Mahomes, who said, I can't wait to
play on Monday night after experiencing some of his worst football with his family, potentially
bringing him down in a state of mind that we have never seen.
The young gunner, the young kid, the young stud who has captivated and taken over the
entire NFL by the age of 26, already signed a half a billion dollar deal, has played not
great football, done things that Andy Reid has even said, I've never seen this before.
We thought Monday Night Football against a terrible Giants team.
Bad.
Michael Strahan and Eli look like they could potentially go out there
and play better football than what Joe Judge has them doing.
They're not disciplined at all.
There's like three personal fouls.
There's a bunch of penalties all over the place.
Danny Dimes threw a pick on his first play, I think.
That team almost gets a win over the Kansas City Chiefs,
who we thought were going to potentially flip the switch
and come back from the dead that they've been in.
Now, they get the win.
They're 4-4.
The entire future is still in front of them.
If they go 13-4, that is still an absolutely incredible year.
11-6, 12-5.
You get it.
The Chiefs could potentially do that.
But after watching that game, do any of us have faith in the Chiefs right now?
Remember, this isn't Madden.
Any of us have faith in the Chiefs right now?
Remember, this isn't Madden.
You know, players aren't just going to step onto a field every Sunday,
Monday, or Thursday.
Shout out to Josh Allen last night being on the Manning cast.
He is awesome.
Yeah.
He talked about coming out of the bye week and maybe as the season goes on,
a little bit of weight gets added on.
He's still a strength coach.
Like, hey, I'm going to get there.
Don't you worry about me. That was the most relatable thing I had ever heard because no professional athletes ever talk like actual humans.
And I found myself to be alienated amongst my teammates
when I would come back from bye weekend.
Did everybody else put on 17 pounds?
You know, Josh Allen experiences the same thing,
probably because he enjoys food.
But he talked about how you play on Sunday, on Monday, and on Thursday.
And what we're seeing out of Patrick Mahomes isn't a Madden player
that just steps on the field and is 99 every single time.
We're experiencing a human that we all can see is going through something.
Now, is it he isn't comfortable in the pocket?
Is he not comfortable with the offense?
Are the defenses, you know, rushing three and keeping eight back?
Yes, that was pointed out during a Manning cast last night.
Immensely, why don't you just run the ball.
Derek Gore came in.
Hey, congrats to that guy.
Let's go.
What's up, Derek?
University of Louisiana, Monroe.
Number 40.
Look like a stud scoring out there.
Are they just not taking the checkdowns?
Or is Patrick Mahomes potentially going through something in real life that might be affecting his Madden score?
Just like every other player that plays in the NFL that could potentially be going through stuff.
Also, let's keep an eye on Travis
Kelsey. What the hell's going on with Travis Kelsey?
Is that just an overall culture
thing that's going on? Obviously, Tyron
Matthew, a couple other guys talked about the
fan base being toxic. We know about
X Factor. Chris Jones came back
at a couple big-time plays. He's a welcome sight,
but what the fuck are the Kansas City
Chiefs? I think we still don't know
even though they got the win last night in a game that everybody's calling snooze fest. To be honest,
it did stink. It was not a great game, but it was cool listening to Jon Stewart talk.
Michael Irvin in the fourth quarter was beautiful. The Manning cast has definitely some technological
glitches they need to figure out. Stat, I think. But it was an enjoyable Monday night.
Chiefs didn't cover, obviously.
And I tried to tell everybody yesterday pretty loud.
I was very loud.
I said, hey, with the way I've been betting,
with $0 in my account this morning after a rough Sunday,
even though I ended up 7-8 on the weekend, which is not good.
But it's not like an absolute ass beating.
But the games I was putting money on did not hit.
My get-back bets on Sunday did not hit.
And then yesterday I said,
so everybody that's potentially fading me,
and I even did a full train thing.
If you're on the fade me train,
I will let you know I love the Chiefs tonight.
I absolutely love the Chiefs minus 10 and a half.
So I feel like I tried to at least set a,
you know, a little bit of a standard of of I understand where I'm at right now.
Now, with that being said, I'm excited week eight is behind us.
I'm excited for us to dive into week nine.
I'm excited for our slate on Sunday, which has about three, four games that actually are worth the fuck, but they're improperly timed.
There's a Sunday night game that matters, a four o'clock game that matters, and then maybe one or two 1 o'clock games that matter.
And as we go into this week nine,
let's remember that we might have some down times betting going forward.
And we might not know much about a lot of these teams.
Like what are the Chiefs?
We don't know.
What are the Niners?
Nobody knows.
What are the Titans now that Derrick Henry?
Nobody knows.
You talk about all these teams, the Bucs. What are the Bucs? Nobody knows. I mean, there now that Derrick Henry? Nobody knows. You talk about all these teams.
The Bucs.
What are the Bucs?
Nobody knows.
I mean, there is a lot of question marks still.
But let's remember that week nine will forever be the week that is remembered as the week that the risk-free same-game parlay hit and then never stopped hitting again.
Let's go.
So today is Aaron Rodgers Tuesday.
Can't wait to chit-chat with the reigning MVP about him dressing up like John Wick this past weekend,
his gun safety, and also he gave away a million dollars in Bitcoin yesterday on Cash App.
And plus his team, 7-1, has the best record in the NFL, in the NFC,
although everybody on TV is saying that the Dallas Cowboys are the team to look out for in the NFC.
Excited to chit-chat with Aaron.
Excited to chat with the boys.
Talks at table at Boston Conner at Ty Schmidt.
Did you watch that game last night?
Did you fall asleep?
Did you make it all the way through?
And what are your thoughts on the once exciting brand of football
that the Chiefs play now just seems like a crew that is out of sorts
and has kind of lost their way a little bit?
Yeah, I mean, that game stunk. It absolutely stunk absolutely stunk and you know tried to watch the manning cast and i feel like one thing
with them too is like if the game is really bad or like boring like that like you see how frustrated
peyton gets like it almost kind of derails it a little bit because i feel like they don't want to
just rip apart two guys who aren't playing particularly well but i mean packers play
the chiefs this upcoming sunday so i was i was kind of you know i but it's weird like at what
point in the season is this just who the chiefs are like how at what point like you always say
like hey they could get right but at what point is it like hey this is just who they are right
now interesting question uh because we're chit-chatting a little bit about this uh before
we went on the air and if you're a kid and you were, I don't know what type of competitor you were,
but if you're like shooting hoops or something like that and you miss a ball
and you ask for the ball back as quick as possible because you either want to fix it
or you want to make it or you want to do something like that, and that could happen.
Like as a teenager, I think it's happened for me in kicking.
It's happened to me, I think, shooting hoops.
I think it's happened to me maybe throwing. It's happened to me, I think, shooting hoops. I think it's happened to me maybe throwing.
Like, it's just, like, let me get this.
Patrick Mahomes, after every play, he almost threw two other picks that happened.
He threw one and whatever.
He almost threw.
The quick to Andy Reid to give me the next play, it's like I think he wants to get.
Like, he wants to get to the point where this is no longer a conversation.
As soon as one bad play happens, he's quickly to Reid about give let me let's I can get there and then obviously
the pressing starts the forcing starts and it happens at the highest of level to people so
it happening to a kid who is a guy sorry grown-ass man he has a family who has been offered a half a
billion dollars to play football and has some stuff potentially happening around him with his family,
which he might love, by the way.
I'm not sure.
Jackson Mahomes gave him a little half-ass dap while he was standing on a field
that Patrick Mahomes got him onto and obviously is, you know, that kid stinks.
Oh, yeah.
Big time.
I'm always like, hey, benefit of the doubt.
You know what I mean?
I'm always like there has to be something that's good
but that whole half assed dap I wonder
if it's because he knows that there's
potential you know beef
happening between him and Patrick or
if he feels bad about the potential
conversations that are surrounding
Patrick Mahomes or if he's just
a self entitled fucking prick
that would do that to him
it might be the latter
it could be all those things benefit of the doubt should be given to everybody just a self-entitled fucking prick that would do that to you might be the latter yeah so i mean it
could be i mean it could be all those things benefit of the doubt should be given to everybody
even if you hate their tiktok or they've made terrible decisions in the past but all that
nonsense and bullshit happening off the field it has to be getting to patrick as a human on the
field plus the different defenses he's seeing and like pat travis kelsey like travis kelsey is
the big dog that guy is the guy now he's throwing his body around last night big time and a couple
like big time blocks yeah which travis kelsey is not known for travis kelsey has actually talked
on the show about how he didn't do that in the past but he has now bought in as he's gotten older
to the blocking and just put a body in front of somebody and i think he did that his drop fumble night he had is nothing like what we're used to seeing on travis kelsey as well
so that one little shift in energy can really have a ripple effect and they say a cancer to a locker
room hey don't do this don't do this because all it takes is one little thing to start kind of
seeping into a locker room and these these things like the gossip, you know.
Of course.
As soon as one thing, it potentially just spreads.
And they need to put an end to it somehow, some way.
And for the sake of Green Bay Packers fans and for Aaron Rodgers,
let's hope it's not this weekend.
You know, let's hope it is a much different weekend than this.
But I don't know.
I also feel like you asked the question is this who they are
or whatever i also feel at any moment that switch is oh yeah like whenever he's doing this i'm in
my head i'm like okay i feel like i've been in this position before and then once one falls it's
like all right here we go but pat made some sick plays and then afterwards you still saw him fall
back into the potential slump of missing a uh, missing a check down, missing a read or doing whatever the case is.
It's crazy to watch.
And I tweeted this last night.
This is going to be a fascinating chapter in the Patrick Mahomes story.
There was people that had responses to this tweet when I said,
I don't think any of us have a clue how this will play out.
I mean, legitimately, we've seen people potentially change their lives completely to get out of a funk.
We've seen people change who they associate themselves with.
We've seen people not change anything and just completely go down and spiral completely up.
And obviously, I don't think that's going to happen with Patrick Mahomes, especially in the world that we're in.
But the future, five, ten years from now, when we look back on what Patrick Mahomes is going through right now,
I think is going to be a pretty pivotal moment in this entire thing.
And what will he do?
How will he do?
How will it work out?
And will he get back to just being a football player again
and not worrying about a single fucking thing?
Because he's got a half a billion dollars going into it,
which that puts expectations at an even higher level.
Not that Patrick Mahomes didn't have them, but now they've actually put a value on you.
Are you worth this amount of money in the franchise?
Is your play worth this amount of money in the franchise?
That could all add into the conversation, I guess.
But he just needs to say, fuck everything and just play football again and enjoy it.
Because it looks like he's not having fun at all.
And are you happy because you at all and are you are
you happy because you're winning or are you winning because you're happy i say that a lot but it's
real normally the people that have it all buttoned up in their life and are pretty comfortable and
confident and have a good time normally they're more free to perform in a much better fashion
it's normally the people that potentially have some shit lingering into their performances
that can distract them now everybody knows about kobe when everything was going on and jordan whenever he's
hung over or has the the pizza thing and there has been a brett farve after his parents are his dad
passed away there's always games that have things potentially off the field affecting you on the
field and sometimes people can just lock it out but if you have something that is really lingering
and you bring that you can see it a transformation in the person almost and i just hope we get to the
point where he's back to being patrick mahomes again because that motherfucker is electric when
he's going saw glimpses of it saw glimpses of it and it's like let's get back to that pat and by
the way let's not get scared to throw a little two-yard ball to Tyreek Hill and let him just run out of
a phone book.
Booth.
Or book.
He's fast enough to run right off of pages.
Tyreek Hill is that
type of sex, isn't he? He just runs right out
of the phone book. But he is,
they're going to have to do that. They're going to have to run the ball.
If they continue to get eight people dropped
into a zone, that's going to be difficult to throw into. If they continue to get eight people dropped into a zone,
that's going to be difficult to throw into.
Now, Brendan, I guess Peyton broke down one play where he had Tyreek.
If he's even, he's leaving.
That's like classic football quote.
If a wide receiver is even with a corner, he is leaving that corner.
Like that is, he's got a much bigger head start.
He's in a much better position.
If he's even, he's leaving. I guess Tyreek Hill had that one. But aside
from that, it feels like he's just
going to have to check down all day, and he's going to
have to get over the fact that it might be boring. There was a stat
they put up last night that he's the sixth most
pressured quarterback in the NFL
and the least Mount Blitz.
Every single team is getting pressure with
not bringing in extra guys. Is Kyle
Long still on that team? He's hurt.
He is. He's not playing, though.
No, he is hurt.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, I understand he's still hurt, but is he?
What's the recovery on that?
Maybe you'll get the big dog Kyle Long out there. That changes the entire energy of everything.
I have no idea.
Apostle Connor, you were going to say something there?
Well, I was just going to say, like, what you were talking about
with dropping A into coverage, like, is there any thought that maybe teams
have sort of figured out the right way to attack the Chiefs, you know, offense?
Like, especially in the red zone, they were just rushing three.
And then they had one guy basically ready to go get Mahomes when he rolled out either way.
And then they just double team Hill and Kelsey.
So I don't know because I've never put together a game plan.
But I think you're always like people are always figuring you out.
Right.
And then you're just trying to that's why
it's a monkey see monkey do copycat league yeah because if you find a play that works you're
going to add that into your arsenal so i think to your point maybe there is a blueprint but i'm
assuming there's a blueprint to beat every single play you know so you kind of have to evolve and
you continue to have to get better that's why why whenever you see Tom Brady being great for 20-plus years
or Aaron for 17 years being good, it's like the amount of offenses
that they've had to adjust and adapt and rule changes
and everything like that, you just have to continue to evolve.
And maybe Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes haven't done it quick enough.
They still won.
Yeah, for sure.
They still won.
They still got a win, which at the end of the day is all that matters.
I'd assume Travis Kelsey bummed about the performance,
but also we got a win.
We're back in the good.
Let's at least build off of this.
It's still something, though, to talk about.
I mean, it still has to be something.
Well, and I think I saw a stat that said they're the only team in the NFL
whose remaining schedule is currently against all teams who have a winning record right now.
Like their schedule gets tough coming up.
So like does that help them?
Yeah.
You know, because that could potentially play to your, you know, I mean, there's so many different ways you can view it.
And there's so many contradicting and hypocritical statements about a state of a team, depending upon what they just did the week before, you know.
But you could play to
your um your competition for sure so this could heighten their competition this could make them
even better because they're playing against good teams or if they continue to make the mistakes
that they make against like a Giants team where they could have thrown maybe three picks yeah
that against other teams those are crips right those are pick sixes and this game is done so it's
it's all I mean i don't
know i it is so fascinating to me because up until what last week they were still the favorite to win
the afc west and it was like there was zero reason for them to be the favorite to win the afc west if
you've seen any other teams play but now you look at the chargers chargers seem to be spiraling a
little bit you look at las vegas Raiders with old Bisaccia.
I mean, they're potentially good.
They're in the driver's seat right now. And the goddamn Broncos are paying $9 million
and sending their best player to another team.
So it's like the Chiefs, I guess,
still have a very good chance to win their division.
The Chiefs still have a very long time to figure it out.
But I think it's off-the-field shit that has to get figured out
before we get on the field personally.
I don't know.
Yeah, the Chargers are the current favorite at plus 160,
and the Chiefs plus 185, and then the Raiders,
who are leading the division right now, are plus 250 to win the division.
Yeah, and that's much different than the power rankings.
Sportsbook is saying, hey, at the end of the season,
this is how it's going to be.
These power rankings that are going to come out tomorrow or Thursday,
those are supposed to be for how they feel right now.
Meow.
And if those power rankings are anything like we've seen on TV, the Cowboys are about to
be super boosted.
I mean, they're about to be way up
there. Now,
that conversation about the guy that will be joining us
in a couple hours versus Dak Prescott
this morning with Jeff Saturday and
Foxworth.
Dominique? Hey, it got a little heated
in there. Hey, Jeff Saturday got a little heated in there. It did. Hey, Jeff Saturday
got a little energy in there. By the way,
Jeff very good on TV right now.
Jeff is
finding his
groove on TV.
Jeff is doing well on TV
and this is, by the way,
you're not putting somebody else down when you put somebody
over. We're just saying Jeff Saturday is
bringing electrifying television,
it seems like, at a higher rate than I think he has.
Maybe anybody else.
He is doing very well right now in his appearances.
I don't know how many they are.
Him and Dominique Foxworth, though, got into it
because Dominique talked about how important Dak is to the Dallas Cowboys
and how he should be MVP and how the Cowboys are the team to beat,
which, by the way, all those things have their own case.
Dak Prescott is unbelievable.
But to put Aaron Rodgers down when Aaron just beat the undefeated Cardinals without his
three top weapons, basically lost his fourth in Tanyan, lost his number one tight end.
I mean, that is a fascinating way to go about things.
And it's because the Cowboys are so powerful when it comes to fan
base when it comes to promotion and now the roster seems to match the hype it's hard not to get
excited about it and jeff saturday was like i don't know who the fuck anybody's talking about
other than that guy that just played john fucking wick this weekend and he seems to be living in his
own universe by the way I
don't think I don't know if Aaron knows about any of the conversations that are happening but the
Packers and I guess first impressions are a tough thing to get over since that Saints game what a
clinic yeah seven and one right now unbelievable seven and one and it seems like there's not a lot
of conversation about that because of how terrible they looked in the first game, how dramatic the offseason was.
Maybe it is how Aaron dresses, looks, and talks.
People are just like, no, this can't be real.
The Packers are a fucking wagon right now.
And they're allegedly going to make some moves before the trade deadline, which will hit in three hours in 38 minutes from now.
So maybe during today's show, there's some action.
38 minutes from now.
So maybe during today's show, there's some action.
And Peter Bukoski, at Peter underscore Bukoski, tweets, Matt LaFleur says Brian Gutkens and the Packers front office are working
extremely hard trying to find something at the trade deadline.
That's a pretty big admission from a coach who generally plays it very close
to the vest.
Well, I think LaFleur was
publicly saying that because he wanted Aaron
to know, hey man,
I'm trying.
I saw what the Rams did.
We all saw what the Rams did. We could have done what the Rams did.
The Rams somehow
got General George Payton,
John Elway, and Vic Fangio,
who I bet had no say in this,
to trade Vaughn Miller, who is their locker room leader,
their city leader basically, and their best player,
to the Rams for a second and third round pick.
And the Broncos paid $9 million to the Rams to pay the salary of Vaughn Miller.
When you look at this graphic that Dirty put together,
it says the LA Rams receive eight-time Pro Bowl linebacker and $9 million to pay Vaughn's salary.
And then the Broncos receive a second and third round pick in the 2022 draft.
It is really difficult not to say, oh, the Broncos got fleeced here.
But the Broncos are obviously collecting picks right now.
Oh, yeah. To try to make a big trade to go up high somewhere,
even though everybody has said that this particular year's draft class isn't great.
Maybe it's a trade for another quarterback.
The Broncos have been in quarterback conversation for a long time now.
They trade for Teddy this past offseason.
I guess they've moved on from that.
Drew Locke doesn't even get something when Teddy Bridgewater can't even walk.
So I think the Broncos, what they're going to be trying to do
is just collect picks so they can use that as money in a trade for a quarterback
or to move up for a quarterback.
But the Rams going all in.
They actually tweeted the scene from rounders saying they're going all in,
and this is what we've been talking about with what Tampa's doing,
and they have Tom Brady.
The Rams are doing it.
They have Matthew Stafford.
And the world might not have They have Matthew Stafford.
And the world might not have known that Matthew Stafford was a guy unless you watched all the Detroit Lions games where he was a quarterback.
He's a fucking guy.
And the Rams say, hey, we're going all in.
We got a guy.
The Chiefs paying everybody they can to keep around.
They got a guy.
This is what the conversation was all offseason with the Packers.
Hey, you got a guy.
Why don't you ever just go all in? I think that's why LeFleur is Packers, hey, you got a guy. Why don't you ever just go all in?
I think that's why LeFleur is publicly saying, hey, we're trying to do something here.
Because inevitably, there's probably going to be nothing that happens.
Or maybe they will get somebody and it won't be a big, maybe they will go and get it.
Maybe it'll be a complete change and we'll ask Aaron about it.
But I think that is why it has become so open, as opposed to LeFleur, who keeps things so
close to the vest via Peter Bukowski's tweet.
Yeah, for sure.
And I think they will do something today.
Like, a lot of Packers beat reporters have been saying that, like, they're in play for a tight end.
And you don't want to say it stinks that Tunyon didn't do this earlier.
But I feel like, you know, if this was a week ago when he blows his knee out, like, they might have been able to get Zach Ertz.
Who knows?
Like, he was available. But, I'll, we'll see what they do.
Kyle Fuller, like obviously stinks for Bob. Yeah. I mean, right.
But given the situation, you know, like knowing that he was in play,
I don't know. I don't know what they'll do, but yeah.
Who are you? You think maybe Jimmy Graham out of Chicago?
He just had COVID. So he, so he's got the antibodies.
So we don't know if he's the same player post-COVID.
Or is he alive?
Did he survive?
He survived.
He did.
Okay, he did survive.
Thank God.
But, yeah, allegedly some tight ends are in play for the Green Bay Packers.
And, I mean, Diggs couldn't have said Ebron's name faster.
Yeah.
No, I feel like, you know, Aaron's been really great to the show and everything.
So I feel like, you know, as a Steelers fan, and Aaron's going to come to Pittsburgh next
year, so, like, I'd like to give him a gift this year.
Take Ebron.
Go ahead.
Not just any gift.
A big-time playmaker.
Great playmaker.
Really important to the Steelers.
Like, go ahead.
Take Ebron.
Oh, so you're willing to get rid of a guy who's made so many big-time plays for the
Steelers?
It's a peace offering to Aaron.
Okay, for next year.
Yeah.
How about Firmoth?
No, no, no.
Yeah, we'll take Firmoth.
Muth.
What about Firmuth?
That's our guy.
Friar Muth does appear to have the next 10 years in Pittsburgh on lock.
Oh, yeah.
They already got the chant, too.
You know, anytime you can get a bunch of injuries, you go, Muth!
For something good. I mean, Tom is
going to have to keep him around. Yeah, he sees Miller
reincarnated. Yeah. I mean, the Heath
chants were loud. The MOOTH chants
are louder, I think. I mean, are going to be
louder by the end of this whole thing.
That's very nice of you to send Ebron over there to Green
Bay, but that is allegedly what's
potentially cooking in Green Bay. There's a lot
of other teams that could potentially get better.
What about the Patriots?
You guys going to do any moves, make any moves during trade deadline around here?
Nah, we don't need anybody.
Our team's getting better every goddamn week.
I saw Johnny Smith won the angry runs.
That's right.
Week seven, you should have seen what he did to the Jets.
He basically told everybody on the defense, hey, this is my ball right now,
and I'm going to do an angry run and run right through you.
Oh, he said that.
That's what he said.
And then you know what he did?
He almost scored, but then Hunter Henry scored.
I mean, everyone that we acquired in free agency this offseason
is coming along now.
I don't think we really need anybody.
And at this point, too, there's nobody who's going to get a player
that's better than Von Miller.
He's kind of the prize of free agency, right?
Yeah, and how come it's not being talked about?
How come it's not being talked about as such?
Everybody's saying this is a fair trade or whatever,
and I guess it's a fair trade.
I guess if the Broncos use this second and third round pick in 2022
and they can somehow package those together with something else
to get a player that is going to be great for the Broncos.
Super Bowl MVP.
Okay, cool.
Yeah, the only defensive player to win a Super Bowl MVP,
I think, in the last MVP. Okay, cool. Yeah, the only defense player to win a Super Bowl MVP, I think,
in the last however many years, obviously.
It's just I don't know if he still has it,
but the Rams don't even have to pay him.
The Rams don't even have to pay him $700,000.
The Broncos are paying for him to leave so they can get the second and third round pick.
And allegedly the Cowboys and the Bills were in on conversations
with the Broncos.
What did they offer? Yeah. What could they have offered? Allegedly the Cowboys and the Bills were in on conversations with the Broncos.
What did they offer?
Yeah.
What could they have offered?
And maybe that's complete bullshit that there was other teams involved.
Because the fact that the Broncos are paying for it and sending their best player out of town,
and it seemed like Von Miller did not know he was going to get traded.
No.
It wasn't like Von Miller was – I don't think he was pitching for the trade.
I think this was something that just, you know,
as opposed to a star player that maybe sees he only has a few years left
or at the level that he's potentially at, so get me the fuck out of here,
like Matthew Stafford did out of the Lions,
which I think he was forced to do, by the way,
to finally stand up for himself because every quarterback's legacy
is judged on how often you win,
not if you end up having the top two highest receiving wide receivers
yearly yardages in the history of the game,
which Cooper Cup is on pace to break Megatron's record.
Megatron, by the way, was with Matthew Stafford.
Cooper Cup with Matthew Stafford.
Those two are about to have the—
But if he doesn't win a Super Bowl, nobody will even fucking talk about him.
So that is why somebody around him had to finally say,
hey, we understand that you're just a football player.
We appreciate that you're just showing up to work.
You feel like Detroit invested a lot of money in you.
We appreciate that you love Woodward.
Is that the name of the street?
Woodward.
We appreciate that you want to bring a Lombardi down Woodward,
but we hate to break this.
This is much larger than you.
This is much larger than football.
You ain't going to be walking no Lombardi down Woodward.
Okay.
So you, for the sake of your name, for the sake of how you'll be remembered in this league,
you have to get somewhere where they'll potentially win.
You have to tell Detroit like, hey, I love you guys.
You got to move on.
I don't know if that's what happened.
I'm assuming that's what happened because it took them 13 years to do this or whatever.
Okay.
Whenever there was calls for this eight years in, years in 10 years in 11 years, there's
calls for this for a long time.
Like, Hey, Matthew, you are a star that is getting wasted in a galaxy that nobody sees.
You are literally just burning out and nobody even knows that you existed except for the
people who have to watch lions games because they're
either lions fans or they have a good friend that is a lions fan and you have to watch so you can
talk shit to your friend that is a lions fan of course like we like i did yeah watching him as a
lion for a few years there before he left i have never been more incredibly impressed with somebody's
patience yeah which is what matthew
stafford had to show throughout his entire career in detroit saying yeah we'll win next year and
showing up with broken necks and ribs and everything playing we'll win next year we'll win next year
and not once being like i should get the fuck out of here i am being wasted didn't do that at all so
i think watching him knowing that what he was when he got traded,
we were very loud that, hey, Matthew Stafford on a national line,
he's about to go.
I have him at MVP odds at like plus 17 or 1,800 or something like that,
maybe 20-something hundred.
Hopefully those will maybe hit.
There's other people out there as well.
But him going to L.A. has done exactly what we thought would happen.
Hey, when everybody gets to see this dude and he's back on the team and they're good he's going to be a superstar vaughn miller was a superstar is a
superstar had those winning days but it doesn't appear as if that's going to be happening in the
broncos for some time and it didn't feel like he or his people were like get me out of here i need
to go somewhere else it's almost like the broncos did it's fascinating fascinating situation so what
i was seeing is vaughn's in his
last year of his deal there was no chance they were going to re-sign him probably for the money
that he wants this year so that they and they're not going to make a super bowl or playoff run
this year so might as well get draft picks for a guy that's not going to be around next year is
what i was seeing yeah i guess i mean a second and third round pick that might be fucking stooge
and mcgee there that's right you have no idea that that's going to be. But they're using it to bundle.
I think it is 100% a bundle package.
Yeah, they need to get a quarterback.
Yeah, they're trying to bundle picks as much as possible.
But if the Rams are able to work that deal,
we'll give you a second and third.
And you guys pay for it.
We can't pay for it, Sally.
You saw the video.
We can't.
We have so many good players.
We're trying to win a Super Bowl.
You guys could do this, by the way.
Denver City, I think people would go to.
Denver City, I think a lot of people love. But guys aren't we are doing it though so because the situation we're in in the situation in the bed that you guys have made for
yourself we think you should just go ahead and take the lion's share of the shit in this deal
and just pay the nine million as well oh deal all right fuck it what's that two car dealerships i got that's it one month worth of
sales and those two car dealerships i got allegedly too there's a lot of talk about what general george
payton does and what john elway still does is john elway still doing things is he out on that
what does the future look like for denver there's no way aaron goes there now no not that aaron's
going anywhere by the way last week he loves being in green bay but if he was to go somewhere denver was allegedly a place he was going to go to now is it still that
or are they completely out on that what does the next couple years look like for denver fangio's
got to be gone then right has to be get him out of time so he's got to be gone is general george
payton gonna be there then first year it wasn't his whole thing like hey i can't draft a quarterback just because
oh yeah john elway's guy yeah this wouldn't be on him hopefully something pops off in the next
couple hours it will maybe the packers make like an actual play yeah what if they did i saw the
broncos are also potentially getting rid of kyle fuller like the packers could definitely use a
little help in the secondary they're pretty bangeded up. He played with the Bears for a long time, so they know him.
They know he could be a nice little impact addition.
A player that has obviously been talked about being traded since the offseason
with a lot of shit happening in the offseason off the field,
Deshaun Watson, allegedly via Aaron Wilson underscore NFL.
He –
Well done.
Thank you.
Wow.
I had no idea.
Thank you.
I feel pretty good about that.
It's pretty good.
Every once in a while the old brain bucket, you know,
really does some stuff there.
At Aaron Wilson underscore NFL.
Used to work for the Baltimore Sun.
Then he worked for the Houston Chronicle.
He – something happened, okay, with the Deshaun Watson situation son. Then he worked for the Houston Chronicle. Something happened
with the Deshaun Watson situation where he was
fired or removed from the
Houston. Now he runs his own podcast,
I think, down in Houston. So this guy
has been covering the Texans for
a substantial amount of time.
He has no checkmark, so
we don't know. I don't
think anybody's impersonating this guy on the internet,
but this is allegedly who this guy is in Houston. and we have to say that because we have to build
up a little bit of credibility for this guy in houston and he has a lot invested in the sean
watson uh cases and situation he got fired for a remark about this allegedly i don't know this is
just all shit we've seen on the internet so you have to take that with a grain of salt. Aaron Wilson in Houston, Houston Texans podcast runner, says,
no settlements of 22 civil lawsuits are imminent or developing at this time
for Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, per league sources,
and also no clarity on status of 10 criminal complaints heading into today's NFL trade deadline.
So there's no way.
No.
No chance.
Right?
Can't.
Even though he can still play.
But he can still play because he's not on the commissioner's exemption list.
And they said he won't go on the commissioner's exemption list,
even if he's traded.
They say they don't have enough information or all the information
or the proper information to put him on the commissioner's exemption list.
But I thought the commissioner's exemption list was founded
so that they could find the information out about the situation and then deal with it afterwards.
I had a teammate that was on the commissioner's exemption list because he was going through
a trial and an investigation that was very loud early. Then he was found innocent,
completely innocent. And obviously there wasn't as much noise made on the other side,
but he got removed from the commissioner's exemption list. I thought that's what the
commissioner's exemption list was for. I assume that's what the commissioner's exemption list was for.
I assume that's what the Texans have thought as well because he's still eating up their salary cap.
He still has to be there.
I think Deshaun probably at this point wishes he was almost on the exemption list
so he didn't have to fake show up at the Houston Texans stuff.
But there's no way any team trades for him with all the question marks off the field, right?
There's no way.
Especially if there are multiple first-round picks.
Like, you're selling your future on the assumption that he will be able to play next year.
Because they were even talking about him at the beginning of next season still not being able to play.
Man, you've got to think back to some of the investigations the NFL has done, right?
And gathering the intel.
Tom Brady got suspended four games, what, two years after? Mm with 22 cases 10 criminal complaints that i don't know the league legal
world that well but that seems like that's what 25 years to settle i mean these legit like that
takes a long time to handle in the legality world when i was reading i saw some reports that said
that there's a lot of like a good chance that they're just going to wait
until the offseason and reopen trade negotiations.
But if you're doing that, you're operating under the assumption
that he's not guilty, right?
Or that he's settling.
And if he's settling, then the assumption is that he's automatically guilty,
which is allegedly why Deshaun doesn't want to settle,
is because he doesn't want anybody to think
that he was guilty at all.
It's wild fucking scene.
And a lot of the teams, too,
their first-round picks that they were going to move
are this upcoming draft, right?
Like, the Finns have two,
and the Finns are one of the main teams.
If after this draft,
they don't have as much draft capital to move for.
I would just like to say that I do not care about picks
if I'm running a team.
If you're going to get a guy, get a guy. If you need a guy, go get a guy. Don't bank on your scouting department
or general manager creating a guy or finding a guy or drafting a guy because if you're in your
window, it's going to take a long time potentially for that person to develop or you might strike
gold. I'm not 100% sure. It's like a scratch-off, though, if everything that we have seen is accurate,
which is basically the stats of who makes it, who doesn't,
when they're drafted, how they're drafted,
which round produces the most Hall of Famers.
You look into all that shit.
If you can get a guy, get a guy.
But if you – Deshaun Watson on a football field, a guy.
Very good.
But you have no idea if he's ever going to make it onto the field.
How could you give up three first-rounders in the future?
Not because of who you could potentially draft,
but if you're going to give up three ones for somebody,
wouldn't you want that to be for somebody that is going to potentially be
the face of your franchise?
Somebody that's maybe going to play and build around?
Like, not that you need to wait to draft somebody.
Like, that's more important.
That is not how I view.
But if you're going to bundle three ones, three twos to go get somebody,
you'd want to go get somebody that is potentially readily available
and not a big, massive question mark.
I don't understand some shit that happens in the NFL.
If Deshaun Watson gets traded today, I will be so confused.
I have no idea how any of it works.
The other domino in that is I think the Dolphins would need to clear
something like 16 mil in cap space to be able to add him in because
that's what he's at for this year.
Is that why they cut Kyle Van Noy?
Must have been.
I don't know.
I don't think so.
Oh, no, because they're paying for Kyle to play for the Patriots.
So the Dolphins are actually still paying for Kyle Van Noy.
Aren't you guys?
Yeah, that asshole Chris Greer will figure it out.
I wouldn't worry about it.
You guys are paying Kyle Van Nooy this year, right?
We're paying a lot of people not to play for us,
and we're paying Van Ginkle who can't tackle a cardboard box.
No, Van Ginkle is an upgrade over Kyle Van Nooy.
Remember Kyle Van Nooy got run over by Josh Allen?
What a punk.
Yeah, Van Ginkle would never.
Yeah, that guy can't play football.
I remember that.
Yeah, interesting.
Kyle Van Nooy's been very good for New England. Yeah, of guy can't play football. I remember that. Yeah. Interesting. Kyle Van Nooyen's been very good for New England.
Yeah.
Of course he has.
Yeah.
Yeah, of course he has.
He got paid $30 million to go play somewhere else.
That team immediately got better.
And then he was cut.
That team's still paying him to go back somewhere else.
And those fans tried to act as if cutting him was not, like,
that was a good decision.
It was unbelievable now that i look back on that entire incident with dolphins fans and i did appreciate the passion still do of
course anytime anybody's that passionate about something i love it both for that something
because you've built up a fan base that is very passionate you should be very proud of yourself
and also for the people that are that passionate about a thing
that has notoriously stunk, being great, I love it.
Like, I enjoy that type of delusion.
I mean, Foxy every single year.
That's right.
Hey, going to go 10-6 in a playoff win.
Bingo, this is the year.
Hey, going to go 11-6 in a playoff win.
Now, he's not sawing down people that are questioning
where the sportsbooks are having the odds on who places where
in an entire division.
But those Dolphins fans coming after me with what we're seeing now,
what a bunch of fucking idiots.
Yeah, stooges.
Absolute idiots.
You guys just have to fall back into it.
It's not your fault, I guess, Gumby.
I don't think I should be lumped in with them.
I mean, I was far against the Van Noy thing.
We can go back and watch the clip. I can hear crying on camera. But that's because Van Noy has talked to you, and was far against the Van Noy thing. We can go back and watch the clip. I can hear
crying on camera. But that's because Van Noy has talked
to you and you're friends of Van Noy. You don't understand
football. That's what people are talking about.
I was watching people say that to him and
to me. I was getting a lot of, oh, your
friend Kyle Van Noy, he doesn't mean shit.
And then it was the gif of him getting run
over by Josh Allen. I'm like, hey, you're going
to get got when you're on a field. That is something
that's, hey, you're going to get run over. It's football. If you live in the paint, you're going to get got when you're on a field. Like, that is something that's, hey, you're going to get run over.
If you live in the paint, you're going to get dunked on at some point.
Get ready.
It's going to.
But what about, like, everything potentially happening in the locker room,
the culture, the leadership?
Hey, this needs to happen on this play.
Even though this is called, hey, we need to do this.
He's been in that system for so long.
And then the Dolphins fans are telling me I was an idiot for even mentioning
that being something that could potentially happen. That's absurd. Yeah. And then the Dolphins fans were telling me I was an idiot for even mentioning that being something that could potentially happen.
That's absurd to me. Yeah, and here we are.
Week 8, Magic Mike White
Lightning is playing for the Jets, and there's
no chance he's going to finish last
in the division. No way. Uh-uh.
Guy's a magician. What happens?
Allegedly, Zach Wilson was more pumped
up than Magic Mike fucking White
Lightning was. That's not good.
What's Zach Wilson all about?
Well, you can take his two different ways.
Great teammates, Zach Wilson.
There he is.
Or this guy isn't a competitor.
He wants to be a backup.
This guy's happy with just getting paid off
and being a number two overall pick?
You can laugh and play games now.
Mike White is trying to win that fucking job.
He doesn't give a shit about Zach Wilson.
Yeah, Mike White said,
this is a week seven win.
Yeah.
Okay, we got week eight next week.
Let's fucking hit the books, all right?
I don't know what we're celebrating.
Zach, come on.
St. Coast of Carolina, BYU.
Calm down.
Let's fucking move on, dude.
Colts, dude.
We got another game next week.
All right, let's get to it.
The way we were talking about that yesterday,
like he hasn't been in the league for a long time,
so it's not like he is like a backup.
Like he is 1,000% trying to win that job, right?
Yes!
Did you see those tweets?
He was actually talking about Zach Wilson.
He was actually, Magic Mike White Lightning in 2013
put a tweet out about Zach Wilson without even knowing Zach Wilson existed.
I hate losing to rich, white, arrogant kids.
I'm not saying Zach Wilson's arrogant.
It seems like he's very humble.
But I think his family owns an airline yeah i believe so there's probably a lot of a lot of
cash in you think he's arrogant i just got a couple looks you think oh no i'm we're on the
same page here i didn't know they owned an airline jet blue yeah a lot of money like hey
rolling in it like hey swimming yeah how you doing i know his mom's not too fond
of a couple things so i mean she's worse pretty she hates who her shades tick talk tasty disney
disney disney yeah she was not happy disney wouldn't run in jet blue planes they wouldn't
give them the disney's plus bundle in the jet blue planes okay but yeah that's for zach's
from that so i'm not saying Magic Mike White Lightning was tweeting that directly
about Zach Wilson in 2013, but it could be the case.
That guy's from South Florida too, Magic Mike White.
He's a hunt.
He's from Lottie Dottie.
I think he's from Lottie Dottie.
He is 1,000% trying to become the starter for the New York Jets,
and I think the Jets fans are all like, yeah, we're trying for you too.
Let's get to a break.
Calling out Peyton Manning.
I mean, he might have been 12 when all these things happened.
Which is even better. Man, we're not 100% sure.
I don't know how people wear hats every day. My head is so itchy right now.
Can't do it anymore.
Can't do it anymore.
Well, we're starting to get into dry skin season too.
Oh, that's certainly happening to me.
Get your fill of your humidifiers.
Listen, this for the brand hat is awesome.
Okay?
It is.
Raising money to help families battle against canine cancer.
Valerie, my daughter, is going into surgery tomorrow morning.
Oh, geez.
To get a lump out.
Good luck, girl.
This will be her fourth surgery to remove a cancer lump or whatever.
Damn.
She's a badass soldier yeah she is
it's not in the rest of her body though which is cool i've learned a lot about canine cancer as has
sam uh doing this foundation the treatments for them are very expensive so that's why further
brand was founded to help people pay for it once we decided and saw how much money it was to take
care of val we thought back to whenever we were growing up,
there's no fucking chance Tim and Sal would have been able to afford
the surgery that Valerie got.
There's no chance that Sam's mom and dad would have been able to afford
the surgery that Valerie got.
So that's where For the Brand was founded,
and now we're going in tomorrow.
With that being said, I think this is the last day I'll wear this hat
because it is
very itchy head i just don't wear hat i'm not a big i used to be a big hat guy i'm not a big hat guy now my head's too soft for the hat i believe well hair's flowing too well the hair the issue

a Super Bowl champion, all-time leading tackler for the Green Bay Packers.
All the boys and Aaron will join us here momentarily.
There is some really sad news developing out of Las Vegas right now.
Henry Ruggs, first-round draft pick for the Oakland Raiders,
now a member of the Las Vegas Raiders, has been officially
charged with DUI, resulting in death for his role in a car crash that happened this morning around
3.39 a.m. in Las Vegas at the intersection of South Rainbow Boulevard and South Spring Valley
Parkway, involving a Chevrolet Corvette, which is reported to be his, and a Toyota RAV4.
Responding officers located the Toyota on fire.
Fire department personnel responded and located a deceased victim inside the Toyota.
Golly.
The preliminary investigation indicates the front of the Chevrolet collided with the rear of the Toyota.
The driver of the Chevrolet, identified as 22-year-old Henry Ruggs III,
remained on scene and showed signs of impairment.
He was transported to UMC Hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Ruggs will be charged with DUI resulting in death.
This is an ongoing investigation.
Ian Rappaport tweeted that out.
TMZ reported this a little bit ago.
We weren't 100% sure if it was true.
I guess it is a Class B felony in Las Vegas
and would require imprisonment of
at least two to twenty years if found guilty in this rest in peace obviously incredibly sad henry
ruggs now is staring down a much different life for making a poor decision of driving while impaired
incredibly sad hate to see this aj it was terrible yeah i saw some of the rumors floating around what
30 minutes 45 minutes ago about what was going on so yeah that's the most in-depth part of that
i've heard of it i'm sure more will come out but yeah what a what an awful situation yeah we had
not heard the police report until very recently here and it just gotten tweeted on the internet
we had an eye on the situation but much like the deandre swift situation a few months ago
you have no idea what's real and what isn't on the internet the photo that surfaced of the crash
it was of the toyota obviously it looked like it had just gone out of fire i guess now that
they're telling us it was on fire and then the corvette in the back which is matt green
that looks like it is absolutely ruined as well. There was an entire internet game happening during the show
on whether or not that was Ruggs' vet
or if it was somebody else's vet.
There was a design on Ruggs'.
I guess we just haven't been able to see it on this photo,
but the worst suspicions turn out to be real.
Henry Ruggs III was driving that Corvette
that inevitably got into a car crash with a Toyota.
The Toyota started on fire, and now people have passed away.
It is incredibly sad.
Man, you can't be driving drunk, especially now.
There's no reason.
There's no reason to.
There's so many different available options for you to do so.
A team in Las Vegas, this was always going to be talked about, right?
It was always going to be talked about.
A team in Las Vegas, this was always going to be talked about, right? It was always going to be talked about. A team in Las Vegas, what will it be like?
Visiting teams coming in, will they be able to be disciplined enough,
even if they have a sleeping curfew and everything,
will they still be able to maintain it?
When the NHL went into Las Vegas, it seemed like the Vegas flu
had gotten a lot of the away teams that would come in there.
How about the players and the teams
that live in Vegas?
How would they do that?
As somebody who, you know,
used to potentially go out a lot,
I don't know what it would have been like
being a young person in Las Vegas,
but I do know that if you're Henry Ruggs
and you're a member of the Raiders
and a member of the NFL,
you can't be driving drunk at 3.39 in the morning.
That's just terrible.
This obviously could have been avoided.
We hope for justice in this entire thing,
and hopefully everybody is able to...
Ah, somebody passed away out of nowhere.
Terrible.
Golly.
It's scary how quick things can change.
Just like that.
Think about it at 3.15 a.m., what was happening in both of those cars.
3.15 a.m.
Probably so much fun.
There's probably music being played or wrapping up, whatever.
Maybe they're going to work.
Maybe the Toyota's going to work.
Who knows?
But then all of a sudden, in an instant, everything changes.
That's why you have to think about those things when you're making your decisions.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, it is time to chat with a man who is deeper than the ocean,
a guy who's more talented than any human that has ever thrown a football
in the history of throwing footballs.
He's the reigning, defending, undisputed MVP of the NFL,
currently sitting at 7-1,
quarterback John Wick, Aaron Rodgers.
Yeah!
Great shirt.
What's going on, dude?
Hey, buddy.
How you doing?
Hey, life is good.
Fantastic.
Can't thank you enough for joining us.
The John Wick costume, the photos, the Pooh Shiesty moments.
Hey, congrats on a successful Halloween.
Halloween weekend.
Is that where we're looking at this?
Thank you.
It was a good weekend for sure.
Thursday games are tough, man, this short week.
But the spoils are the three-day weekend for sure.
So we had a good time.
Glad the costume all came together.
I did want to give one first shout-out to Preston Smith.
To finish off the costume, I needed a pit bull.
And I wasn't keen on going down
to the animal shelter
and seeing if there was one there.
So I was able to find one
in a teammate.
So I went to Preston's house.
Preston was not only my dog supplier,
but also my photographer.
So big shout out to Preston
for helping me out with the outfit.
Yeah, it looked amazing.
And that dog was awesome.
Oh, yeah.
That dog was a good acting dog.
Lived a good life, huh?
Yeah, just like that.
Oh, it lived a good life.
While we were talking about the State Farm dog, how you threw a ball into a canyon.
We just hope you didn't do the same for the John Wick dog.
But that was an awesome moment.
Shout out to Preston Smith.
Sorry about that, AJ.
Go ahead.
Oh, no, I'm good.
I was wondering, this weekend, Nick, you have Thursday.
You have a short week, so it's tough to prepare.
But then you have these.
It's almost like a mini bi-week.
Other than practicing poor muzzle discipline at the Halloween party,
what else were you able to do this weekend?
Well, it was a late morning.
We got on the flight in Arizona, and there were some mechanical issues.
So we got off the flight. Arizona and there were some mechanical issues so
we got off the flight this is one of the first times maybe the first time in 17
years we got off the plane back on the bus and set on the bus for another hour
plus ish so by the time we got back on the plane and got back to Green Bay you
know there's a lot of passengers for the early flights I think I got in my bed
about 630 on Friday morning so it was Friday's kind of a wash at that point. But you know, we had some fun Saturday. Sunday,
I just, I did nothing. Just relaxed and cleaned the house a little bit. Just a couple things and
watched a little football and spent time napping on the couch. It was great. Well, it sounds like
a very similar Sunday to me,
although I was not John Wick the night before.
You guys got obliterated on that bus, huh, after Arizona
when you guys asked to get off the plane, onto the bus,
then back on the plane.
I would assume there – not everybody,
but I would assume there was some people taking some liberties
on what they could potentially drink or have at that time,
or you're not allowed?
Look, I mean, as far as I know, there's no alcohol.
You know, there was a couple issues in some other sports. that time or you're not allowed look i mean as far as i know there's no alcohol um you know there
was a couple uh a couple issues in some other sports uh and in the past i would say way way
way long time ago um there there occasionally was some alcohol on the plane but uh there wasn't any
on that bus could have used some but uh we had a little bit of had a little bit of food and
and a lot of laughs i mean that's when the memes were going crazy so i was sitting you know i was sitting you know like
i usually do and just all around me hey look at this one hey look at this one and and then dave
was you know carefully crafting his uh you know his meme uh to put out there and uh that's basically
what took up the uh hour and 15 minutes on the bus
was laughing at these memes.
Okay, so let's talk about the meme play in itself.
And we can talk about that entire game.
You guys beat the undefeated Arizona Cardinals.
Without Devontae, without Lazard, without MVS.
Absolutely unbelievable.
I mean, incredible discipline for you guys not getting bored.
It seemed like you had to play a different style.
You had new guys you were throwing to, had to earn trust.
I mean, it was magnificent to watch.
But something happened in that game where the meme was created.
And obviously, you with your helmet over your face and eyes wide open after throwing a touchdown is going to steal the story.
But how we got to that point, you never – it feels like – now, I might be wrong here.
You might tell me something different. But watching you play, you play you're the og everybody loves playing it's a lot of laughing
a lot of chat like hey this is how we do it it's cool good to see you aaron big fan of yours
that was a blatant cheap shot late hit then he even earl grades you a little bit i mean you
there was even a little bit of that what's that all about does that that guy hate you? Did you talk to him afterwards? How did we get to the meme, you think?
Well, it was one of those RPOs.
We had a run pass option, and I decided to take the pass option to Cobby on the corner route.
I never saw the guy.
I mean, I was kind of staring down my throw as it was in the air.
And even as you're getting rocked, sometimes you're still trying to see what happened.
as it was in the air.
And even as you're getting rocked, sometimes you're still trying to see what happened.
I don't wear the tightest helmet,
and I wear that, you know, real old-school chin strap
that I saw Farby wearing when I was a young player.
I thought it was awesome, and I've been wearing it.
I get a lot of crap for it from not just my teammates,
from AJ over the years, from some of the training staff,
but I still hold on to it.
Every now and then, that thing slides up, or I've had plays where I don't even button it,
just I forget about it and still kind of attach to the side of my helmet there.
But, yeah, you know, next thing you know.
I mean, right when I got in the locker room, it was like Devontae on FaceTime,
Alan was on FaceTime, and the memes are out.
I mean, that was kind of the three things that were going nuts right away.
It was so funny.
And I said it in my press conference,
the internet is undefeated.
It really is.
It's not the crying Jordan meme,
thankfully, I guess.
We don't know.
Hey, we'll see.
We don't know what this thing's going to grow into, Aaron.
We have no idea.
I have seen some of the funniest ones ever,
and some of the ones I posted might be considered a little bit on the
appropriate scale, maybe to the far end.
But I saw some even less appropriate ones that were hilarious.
So kudos to the people out there with the time to make those memes
because it gave myself and my teammates a lot of laughs.
It's real talent.
I think this one has legs.
I think this may carry on years down the road.
I think so too.
This will pop up in situ.
But it's a good one.
I think it's all positive for you.
But going back to the game, heading into this game,
I think we even mentioned, oh, you guys,
there's not a whole lot of expectation for you guys to win.
I'm sure you guys expected to win still.
Like, were you able to go in and execute the game plan
that you guys had going in?
I think sometimes the situation,
you use it kind of to your advantage
and tell the guys, hey, look,
nobody expects us to win this thing.
Let's just free roll it.
You know, let's just play as loose as possible
and not have any of the pressures of, you playing against a 7-0 team I think that's what we
did I mean that was kind of my message throughout the week was look we don't have three stud
receivers Bakhtiari's not back yet nobody thinks we got a chance I like our odds and I think we
played pretty loose now we still made some mistakes for, and we obviously had a chance to put it away there.
And, you know, inside the five twice, we had the ball inside the ten
and didn't come away with more than a field goal.
So we obviously had some things to clean up.
But, man, I'm proud of our guys, especially after that crazy, you know,
kickoff return, both guys go down.
We had the ball on the nine-yard line, all the momentum, all the crowd back in the game
at 17-14 to take it down to 91 yards
and score to go back up 10 points
was such a character drive
I'm really proud of the guys for the way they
responded there. Yeah, obviously the adversity
going into the game, but then during the game
not just that play, but Big Bob Tunyon
I mean, great shirt, great shirt
we have to get to it, but Big Bob Tunyon
I mean, that is a massive blow to be dealt, not only just in the grand scheme of the game and the season
because of how good the Sycamore Big Bob has become, but in that moment, you're out Devante,
you're out MVS, you're out Lazard. Now Big Bob Tunyon's out of this whole thing. It just felt
like you guys never blinked. That's a foundation builder. You know, that feels like something you
can rely on in the future,
but no big Bob has to be – I mean, that is heartbreaking for everybody.
Yeah, it is.
It's first and foremost for him just because how much he loves playing,
what a great teammate he is.
The season he had last year, being in a contract year,
there's the human element of that that's
that's disappointing for him but just the physical presence of him on the field and the way he plays
and the way he's become a every down player and he can do it all tied in now uh was definitely tough
and i had a perfect view of it you know i was you know i hit him on that uh that crossing route and
i could watch him and you just know it being around
sports for so long when there's a non-contact injury and a guy goes down
like that more times than not,
it's the anterior cruciate ligament.
And unfortunately it was again here.
You said it so smart there.
There's a lot of people piecing together,
you know,
the letters of the first words that you said there,
ACL.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I believe that is,
that's what you just said.
And we love Bob. Hey, Bob, Godspeed on believe that is what you just said. And we love Bob.
Hey, Bob, Godspeed on the recovery.
Good luck, Bob.
Good luck, Bob.
Going to miss you out there watching.
Can't wait to see what he goes.
Let's look into this weekend
because obviously you have a relationship
with Patrick Mahomes.
You, Jake, Patty hang out all the time.
You guys are shooting commercials
day after day, it seems like.
You're golfing, you're corn it seems like you're golfing you're
cornholing you're dancing you're hosting game shows he's working out he's coaching he's gymming
he's doing this stuff i mean do you guys have a great relationship and also how whenever you see
something like what he's going through right now and i don't know if it's a confidence thing i
don't know if it's defenses are changing if it's potentially something off the field carrying into the game.
How do you continue to stay locked in whenever it seems like all hell is breaking loose around you,
whenever it seems like you're potentially not playing your best and people are asking questions?
If you had to talk to Patrick, if you have a relationship with, how do you say to him,
hey, I hope you get better, not this weekend, but going forward?
And what are some of the mental challenges you think of being like a guy like Patrick Mahomes in the league that you have been for the last like 15 years?
That was a long-winded question.
Yeah, I wanted to open it up for you.
I didn't want you to have to bury him.
And I didn't really know, you know, because you've never really had this happen in your career.
We actually looked it up.
You have never had a situation like this happen in your career,
but I know you probably have a great take on everything that's happening
with him because there's a lot of potential outside shit potentially
getting involved in this, you know?
Yeah.
I mean, there's been stretches where I haven't played my best ball for sure,
and I think you just got to keep going back to what got you in the position
you're in.
And I don't think – you know, a lot of times people say,
I'm going to work harder, I'm going to go in earlier,
I'm going to do this and that.
If that was the remedy, then why aren't you doing it before?
I think you've got to stick with what got you to this point.
He's been an MVP.
He's won a Super Bowl.
He's a talented, talented player.
And there's going to be rough stretches throughout your career.
Some of the stuff is under your control and some of it isn't.
And so you've kind of got to release the stuff that isn't yours
and own the stuff that's yours and improve.
And a lot of times it's just one – it can be one throw.
It can be one quarter that kind of gets you back playing the way you want to play.
But I do have a relationship with Patrick.
I have a lot of respect for him. I think he's a fantastic
player. I love watching him play.
I enjoy working with him, too, on the commercials.
Kevin, Jake from State Farm, is actually
a Bears fan.
He's neutral this week,
but I am told
he will be in attendance
and I'm guessing he'll be wearing red
because of State Farm,
not because of his allegiances to Patrick over me, which could be the case.
I actually haven't pinned him down and asked him where his true allegiances lie.
I mean, he's kind of new to the State Farm game.
I've been around for a long time, so maybe the younger guys stick together.
Maybe he's more of a Pat guy.
Maybe he likes those commercials, those spots he did with with him better than the ones that uh that i do with him but him you know uh jake
from state farm and i kevin we have a lot of fun on set he's a hilarious guy and unfortunately the
way it goes with this is you know we do so many takes of the same commercials and most of the ones
that i think are really funny or that he thinks are really funny,
even probably I'm sure the ones that Pat thinks are really funny,
the client doesn't quite go with those.
Oh, really? State Farm doesn't? I never would have guessed.
What a shock.
I never would have guessed.
It's a safer market to the, you know, middle America.
But I do love working with State Farm.
We have so much fun, and I'm proud of the
way the commercials turned out. When it comes to Pat, I'm not worried about him. I mean, I don't
think anybody really should be worried about him. When you're a transcendent talent like that,
it's only a matter of time. I just want to ask a follow-up to that. Being transcended
into superstardom, especially at a young age, and this has been for you for a long time,
right? You have everything you have done for a long time has been scrutinized.
You get more zoom-ins on your face at all times throughout games
for whatever reason, and you have for so long.
Do you think there is a little bit of a learning curve
if you go back in time whenever that started becoming your life?
Now it's for Pat.
Pat's brother does a TikTok.
We all know about it.
We all directly associate it with Patrick Mahomes. Anything else happens off the field, we all know about it. We all directly associate it with Patrick Mahomes.
Anything else happens off the field, we all directly associate it.
He's worth half a billion dollars now with his contract.
Is there anything to that, getting thrusted into a different level of life
that you potentially experienced or you've seen maybe others go through,
and is that a real thing?
Yeah, 100% it is.
I mean, my whole life changed after the Super Bowl,
and I've said this after the State Farm commercials.
That kind of, you know, first was the Super Bowl.
And second, you know, I won MVP in 2011 and the State Farm commercials came out.
And I became not just Super Bowl champion, but now I'm the discount double check guy.
And now people know me not just for playing, but they know me as a guy in, you know, silly commercials.
And, you know, stardom is an interesting thing.
And it creates a whole lot of amazing opportunities and fun things and also some things that can be distractions and can pull at you a little bit more.
Your time becomes less your own, I think.
And it's a learning curve for sure.
But the most difficult thing is sustained greatness, I think, in any sport.
And there's an idea of plateauing at your peak and being able to sustain an incredibly high level of play that puts you in the upper echelon.
And I believe that's Pat's destiny.
He's already established an incredible level of play.
And he probably will for the next 10 or 15 years,
depending on how long he wants to play.
But that is definitely the most difficult thing because they are just waiting for
you to show a chink in the armor, a slight fall off.
So that they can bury you.
And the greatest challenge and the greatest satisfaction occurs when you can
continue to sustain greatness and quiet down those naysayers time after time.
Hey, could quarterbacks at any level, can they go through like slumps,
like a baseball player might go through a slump, like a batter?
Yeah, 100%.
100%.
And just like you can turn it on with one throw or one
read or one quarter or one game one little thing can actually uh kind of throw you off sometimes
it's like getting the yips uh putting or shanks you know and engulfing one you know hosel rocket
can change kind of your whole mental mindset one missing a wide open throw can kind of set you back.
I mean, for people that can reset quickly, it might be a play or a series or a quarter.
But that takes time to learn how to be able to fall back on that muscle memory.
And sometimes there are things that happen that kind of throw you off.
Even for me now, you know, I might miss a throw and it might might stay with me you know and and influence the next time i make the throw now i feel like i have
enough muscle memory and mental fortitude to be able to overcome any negative thought in an instant
of a moment that says oh you just missed this one wide open you know a quarter ago but um but it
takes time to learn to learn how to kind of harness those thoughts and continue to be confident in all moments.
But, again, I'm not worried about Pat at all.
I mean, Pat's a different type of player.
I mean, there's not many guys like him.
Yeah, he's unbelievable, and I think that is why it's such a big conversation.
You two being on State Farm together, and I assume a lot more,
and you two are so similar, the way you play, the throws, the arm talent,
the superstardom, the trajectory, the likeability.
I mean, it is.
You two really are the only two people that can potentially talk to each other
about some of the shit that's going on in his life.
So I appreciate you giving us some info on that entire thing.
Whenever you have a misthrow or a miswide open thing,
and it's, for me, kicking, punting, same situation.
I used to, they say, in corners, have to have this. for me, kicking, punting, same situation. I used to,
they say, in corners, have to have this, they say, hey, you got to get rid of it quickly,
you got to, I used to, like, I used to get mad, so then I was like, I never want to feel this way again, so that was my motivator, like, it would make me so upset that something was happening,
I'm like, I don't want to feel like this, so I'm going to continue to work. What is yours,
have you had to change that along the way here? Is that a constant evolution for you?
Or have you gotten to a point where you've kind of figured out
how to kind of manage your feelings and emotions in the middle of games?
I mean, I think I can manage my feelings and emotions pretty well
in the middle of a game.
But it's about this striving for perfection that I think allows you
to always want to be better in those moments.
And I think you have to really balance that with the realistic assessment of your play
and appreciation for what you're doing and have a good confidence in your craft and what you've accomplished.
I think if you strive for perfection too much, then you'll never be satisfied.
And satisfaction, I think, can often be penned as more of a negative connotation because there's some sort of leveling out or resting on your laurels.
But I don't believe that.
I think satisfaction is having appreciation for what you've accomplished and the confidence that you can go back out and do it again time and time and time and time and time and time again, which the great ones can do.
And I think that's a learned trait for sure.
It's to have that unwavering confidence in yourself,
even when things have not gone your way,
in a series, in a quarter, missing a wide-open guy,
to be able to bounce back and do the same thing over and over.
And that's what the great players do is the repetition.
It's not robots.
And Pat and I, I like to think myself are kind of the antithesis of robotic
quarterbacks, you know, we, you know,
especially him and me when I was younger, the things outside the pocket.
That, that he does, you know, there's nothing robotic about that.
And it's just,
it's just reminding yourself sometimes of all the amazing plays that you've
made and, and, and remember on those things in the moment, not the, you know,
frustrating play that is trying to stick with you.
You mentioned earlier about Favre and you using the one strap,
old school chin strap.
Is there anything else you took from him?
I believe, don't you still use the same cadence that he had?
And is that a thing that a lot of quarterbacks do?
Like a lot of teams sticks with them?
I think teams do.
I changed one of the numbers
in the cadence just so it was my own that was my justification
but i love the rhythmic cadence i didn't understand it at all when i first got there
every other cadence in my career high school you know junior. You know, the ball was snapped on the hut of hut, you know.
This one is not.
It's a rhythmic cadence that's snapped on various parts of the color as the, you know, blue or green comes out.
And it's different, but I love it.
I think it's been a weapon for us over the years.
Now, we're not getting as many people to jump off sides because people are so worried about it.
There's mics up.
The inside and interior linemen are mic'd up,
so there's a lot more study that goes into the cadence each week,
but it's been a weapon for us,
and I'm thankful for learning that from Farby.
There's other little tricks that I picked up in his footwork
that he used to do that I really worked on
when I was a younger player,
and the weight distribution and throwing you know from all different arm angles but uh but yeah definitely the cadence and the
chin strap for sure and no rib pads either yeah well the rib pads are awesome I mean that's something
you need to have um the cadence false I don't have them well yeah I know I love the shirt by the way
sure it's awesome twice a stud i mean
that is absolutely amazing but the cadence being what it is you might not be drawing anybody off
sides but the offensive linemen know they can't just pin their like you're slowing down the rush
so even if it's not getting people off sides it's at least doing some sort of benefit i don't know
why everybody doesn't use that as a weapon the cadence is it because it's not just you it's the
offensive line it also has to kind of be in it or do people not trust it what do you think it is it's false starts coaches get
worried about false starts i mean i know some teams that uh quarterback doesn't even call his
own cadence you know it's the play comes in and they tell you what it's on i've heard of offenses
where certain plays to the right we're on one and to the left we're on two um and my response was this is the nfl i guess makes makes no sense to me i think it'd be
a weapon but you got to train it you have to train in practice you have to train it uh you know all
the time and drill work uh so the guys hear it and hear the rhythm of it and hear the differentiation
between uh each different snap count that we have we have we have a bunch of them. And we added a couple when Matt came,
but we already had like seven or eight.
And then Matt came and brought a couple more.
And what we've done with the silent count,
which I think was really kudos to the line we had in 14,
especially we found ways to mix up our silent cadence
because of some of the tough environments we were playing in.
It's a big credit to Bakhtiari and Josh Sitton and TJ Lang and Corey and Brian Balaga,
who were so great at understanding the timing on those cadences.
They really helped us expand the silent count.
That's unbelievable.
Did Tom actually steal your cadence?
Yeah?
Tom Brady?
Copied, I guess.
Yeah.
That son of a bitch!
Come on!
Anyways, I heard that at the match, which was great.
So I hope you get back into another one of those.
You and DeChambeau are really perfect together.
Let's talk about being perfect together.
You and LeFleur seem to be like that right now.
Everything seems to be great.
Last week, you came on and said you're loving your time as Green Bay Packer.
You're enjoying the season.
You guys are 7-1 atop the NFL best record in the NFL right now.
The Green Bay Packers have after everything that was chit-chatted about in the offseason.
Speaking of the offseason, some changes were hoped for or expected through this thing.
Today is trade deadline day.
Have you been asked about anything?
Do you want to be asked about anything?
Is this something you have thought about, mixed emotions about?
How do you feel on this day, 2021 trade deadline day,
just an hour and a half away from when you could potentially add a player
to that incredible roster?
Well, I'm not going to get into specifics, but I will say that there
has been great communication. I've enjoyed conversations with Brian that we've had
throughout the year so far. And I think that we've made some moves already that have been great.
Obviously, Rasul Douglas, the hero of the game there at the end of the game,
was a pickup that we brought in.
Whitney Marshallis, love that addition as well.
You know, we've obviously with Bobby getting hurt
and with Kylan getting hurt, our third running back,
there's opportunities to add to the roster.
But I like the roster the way it is,
especially with some of the guys
we have coming back, I mean is Darius Smith
back in town, not sure what his potential
coming off the IR
is going to be but it's good to see him again
Jair got some good news
a few weeks ago, still hopeful that he'll
be around for the stretch run
hopefully we can get Kevin King back
in the coming weeks
the big giraffe at left tackle probably has a chance to play in the near,
near, near future.
So I like our roster.
I like the fact that we're sitting there at 7-1.
I point it to the false because we have the tide for the best record in the
league with not just the Arizona Cardinals but the L.A. Rams.
I believe the three of us are 7-1.
The NFC is very very very uh they just
got vaughn miller over there dude they just got yeah they just got fun they're making like people
are making moves out here so i think the big question a lot of people would have for you is
like do you not think that maybe the packers should make a move but you saying that communication has
been great all year it has been better that kind That kind of answers, I think, all of that. Well, I mean, look at our cap situation, too.
You know, we had to adjust just about every contract to get under the cap.
And there's obviously some issues with the cap moving forward.
That's probably the reason why we weren't necessarily the Stephon Gilmore sweepstakes,
because we couldn't take on a big contract.
And there's other guys that have been rumored,
and I know there's guys that want to come to Green Bay,
but we are definitely salary cap hampered at the moment.
If certain guys were to get cut, that would be a whole different story.
But in the meantime, there's issues with our cap that prevents us
from maybe making a splash trade for a guy who's making upwards of
eight million or more which I think Packers fans just need to understand that okay and Delaney
Walker's still out there by the way free agent might be on a boat right now who knows how that
whole thing pans out Todd Schmidt go ahead Aaron you just mentioned the big draft and I don't know
if most people assumed that Bakhtiari was just going to play after he could come off the pup list but uh what's going on here has he been sandbagging how does he look
do you expect him to play on Sunday like how soon do you think he's going to be back
uh he looks good you know his belly is where it needs to be it's grown the last few weeks for
sure so he's ready for the bull rush. He's got the bull rush belly.
When we were training in the offseason, he said,
if you come back, I'm going to play in week one.
That obviously hasn't come to fruition.
So I haven't let him forget about that.
But he has let me forget about the fact that every day we drive down in a gift that he bought me,
the first gift that he's ever bought me, by the way,
but we drive down to practice in a gift that he bought me.
So, look, we're excited for him to come back.
In the meantime, you know, I'm going to take this opportunity again
to highlight the way the line is played.
Elton Jenkins at left tackle going against Chandler Jones for most of the night,
who's a mere pass rusher, and Billy Turner as well because Chandler was going on both sides.
But both those guys I think have played really, really well,
and I'm proud of them.
Inside, I think our guys have held up and improved.
You know, John Runyon, Royce Newman, and Lucas Patrick at center.
Again, Josh Myers, our starting rookie center,
has been out for a number of weeks now.
Lucas has stepped in and played very well for us.
And I think Royce and John have been improving and playing well too.
When we come back, we're going to have a good issue
to have. What do we do with the line
when the big draft comes back with his bow rush belly?
I'm excited when that day comes.
Have you been studying up on a pole assassin
and all that is happening down in Texas?
Bro, there's a monkey biting kids on Halloween!
No, I haven't heard about that at all.
Give me the quick synopsis.
He has. Pat, tell him.
Okay, so pole assassin.
He's got to act like he hasn't heard about it.
Yeah, I understand.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Okay.
Jerry Springer Goat, pole assassin, who has performed on Jerry Springer's stage
and assassinated the pole alongside a monkey that is her pet and stage companion,
have now started dating coach Jeff Banks for the University of Texas Longhorns.
So pole assassin and the monkey have moved into Coach Jeff Banks' house down in Austin.
It's been very public.
And Pole Assassin wanted to make a haunted house for the neighbor kids to come in and get their candy,
not just some boring non-Pole Assassin house.
So they built up a haunted area.
Some 11-year-old allegedly found his way out of the haunted area, through a pool,
into a back-gated area where said pet monkey lives and got his arm chomped by the monkey.
This is an actual thing that happened on Halloween night. Pole assassin has come to her defense
saying that the kid trespassed, broke, and entered into an area. It should not be.
This is the monkey's house.
Coach Jeff Banks has been quiet.
The monkey has not been heard from,
and the child has not done anything yet either.
So it's an ear-to-the-ground situation,
but pole assassin and her monkey potentially causing banana problems
in Austin, Texas, Aaron Rodgers.
That's amazing.
Sounds like the first scene in Outbreak.
I obviously don't know what that is.
Classic.
Hey, I played.
Dustin Hoffman movie, classic.
Absolutely classic.
That's insanity.
The real life is absurd, especially when...
You know what?
You strike me, Pat, and no disrespect here,
but you strike me as an individual,
whether now, quietly, secretly, or in the future,
could be an exotic pet owner.
Thank you.
That is something that is a little bit offensive, I think,
but I could see how you could potentially see that.
No, I'm not just saying, you know, tigers or lions or ligers or tions,
but, you know, you could be a boa constrictor
guy.
That is a shot, too. I do take offense to that.
I do not have...
Chimpanzee.
Chimpanzee, maybe. I wanted one as a
child, but my fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Brooke,
got her entire back ripped off
by her pet chimp that turned on her
one particular summer evening.
I'm out on the chimps, okay?
Maybe one of them little Eastern Shore pet detective monkeys
like Pole Assassin has, but those things will turn on you as well.
I had a teammate who had one, and this little monkey tried to alpha my teammate
and even gave like a, ah, ah, ah, in the middle of the house,
and they got into it.
It hasn't spoke since.
I don't want to be the one that tells that person's story,
but Loron Landry has a monkey
named Gucci
and it is one of the coolest monkeys
of all time.
And they,
I guess,
had to have it out.
When you get a monkey,
you're going to have to alpha it
at some point.
I think that is something
you're going to have to do.
Paul Assassin had done that
in the past.
It appears this child
did not do that.
And
you got to withstand it.
Let's talk about Alpha.
An Alpha move on the internet in 2021 is handing out a million dollars in Bitcoin to people
while dressed up like John Wick, drinking scotch from a glass with no ice cubes in it,
not getting diluted at all.
What a day yesterday with you, Cash App, and a million dollars are the Bitcoin giving away.
with you cash app and a million dollars or the Bitcoin giveaway. How long have you been a crypto guy and great pic of your profile photo there with obviously the meme with the laser ball eyes?
Yeah, thank you. I've been interested in crypto for a while. I wish I could say I got in years
and years ago when a friend of mine, I think it was circa 2012 or 2013, was talking about this concept that made absolutely no sense to me.
He's since become a multimillionaire.
Good for him.
Congrats, Scott.
Yeah.
Congrats, Scott.
But I am a big fan of crypto, and I'm thankful to work with Cash App.
And I'm glad you brought it up because we gave away a million.
Now they're throwing in another 500,000.
Whoa!
They said I could announce it on the show today.
So that's a million and a half in Bitcoin to fans, followers, and fellow and future Bitcoin enthusiasts.
Bitcoin enthusiasts.
But it's exciting because, you know, the deregulation aspect of crypto, I think, is the way that the world is going to go.
And it's not just crypto.
NFTs are going to be really interesting as well. And I think people think of NFTs as some obscure, you know, Internet picture or something.
But there's so much more to them.
And the blockchain, I've just, you know, more recently really started to understand these concepts a little more.
But the blockchain network is where I think so many things are headed.
So it's exciting to be teamed up with Cash App.
I can't believe, you know, they had such a crazy response yesterday
that my agent Ed, you know, about 15 minutes ago,
was, hey, by the way, they're throwing another $500,000.
You should announce them on McAfee.
I said, well, you know, if he asks me about it, I definitely will.
But, yeah, I did that, you know, the other night too, Saturday.
I had to do the video for him.
And I was like, dude, I'm about to put on my wit costume.
He's like, do the video in the wit costume.
So I was like, okay, I will.
I'm going to drink a glass of scotch too.
Go for it.
I think there's many scotch lovers who also are probably Bitcoin lovers too.
So power to Bitcoin., excited about it.
Not sure if it's related, but I do know that yesterday Bitcoin was hovering around 60,
and I just checked before I got on here.
It's at 63.5.
Oh!
Shout out to Cash App.
Cash App.
The cool thing was I saw so many mentions from people thanking me and Cash App
for sending some Bitcoin their way.
But the more that people can understand the concept,
because it's a little confusing
and maybe intimidating for some people.
But I think the better off we're going to be
as we start to see that show up more and more in our lives in new and interesting ways.
Well, congrats.
And that's awesome.
Another $500,000 in Bitcoin being given away by your friend Aaron Rodgers at the Cash App.
I'm not 100% sure how somebody would enter.
They got to use the hashtag.
You just got to put your hashtag in the comment section below my video.
And I know that they were oversubscribed.
That's why they wanted to throw some more out there.
I guess they never had this type of response to a giveaway.
No big deal.
No big deal, man.
No big deal.
John fucking wicking some scotch.
That thing is moving the needle.
Cash App, we didn't expect to have this much Bitcoin to give away,
but now that we're here, fuck it, another 500,000.
That's awesome.
I mean, big shout out.
I mean, a million and a half in Bitcoin, that's pretty wild.
And if you know the history of Bitcoin and where it's gone,
it can be volatile, but it's such an interesting,
the way that it's dissected.
When I look at my like my stocks app on my phone, just about every day, if Bitcoin is up, there's an article about how Bitcoin is going to 100,000.
Bitcoin is going to 200,000.
If it has a down day, Bitcoin is going down to 20,000.
Bitcoin is going to zero.
So it's just so fascinating how polarizing it is.
And I've talked to people on both sides, people who think it's going to 500,000 in the near future and people who think it's going to zero.
I tend to believe it's going to 500,000 and beyond.
and the ability for it to be a digital gold, I think,
is something that is going to be very appealing now and then moving forward as it continues to rise in value.
It's at 63-something.
You know, they say buy the dips.
Buy the dips on the bit.
But if you can get some free ones right now from your friend,
old Uncle Aaron and Cash App, go ahead and dive in there.
I guess your mentions are going bananas right now.
We just checked it out on Zito.
Just checked it out back.
You get it.
Thanks, Zito.
No, thank you, dude.
Thank everybody for giving away.
Thanks, Cash App.
Yeah, thanks, Cash App.
Thanks, Cash App.
Hey, Cash App, why don't you let us send more money weekly, too, by the way, now that we have you.
Yeah.
That'd be great.
That'd be great if you help us out a little bit, too.
That'd be great. You know what I mean you help us out a little bit too. That'd be great.
I don't see why not. Me neither.
It is a nightmare to have to deal with
whenever you're giving away
$50,000 every other week
or so, and then they're like, I can't give away that money.
I can't give away that money. It's like, come on. Let me get
rid of this stuff. Let me get rid of
this cash. But Cash App's just trying to protect
me, trying to give away another
$500,000 of Bitcoin.
Shout to them.
Shout to you.
Let's get to what everybody's been waiting for.
And I was in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania last Friday at Smackdown, and there was a family.
All had Aaron Rodgers book club shirts on.
The kid was holding up a sign that said,
Aaron Rodgers book club.
I looked.
I was like, there's three generations of a family
enjoying one book club. I can't even fath, there's three generations of a family enjoying one book club.
I can't even fathom the thought that I'm a part of that.
It has been amazing.
It has been magical.
The power of now.
Oh, my.
What a read, dude.
And now, going into week nine.
It is time for the debut of the next book in the aaron rogers book club
drum roll please first there's the alchemist by paulo colo where men win glory shout out to pat
tillman and john the giver be here now the four agreements you are the universe sun tzu the art The Giver, Be Here Now, The Four Agreements, You Are the Universe, Sun Tzu, The Art of War, and then The Power of Now.
The ninth book of the Aaron Rodgers Book Club is...
Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell.
Of course.
Of course it's this one.
We knew it. Malcolm's a real good book writer, man.
He's a phenomenal book writer. And
this book I read when I had a white cover. So this is kind of a re-release cover, but
it's, you know, the subtitle is a story of success, but his research is so dense and
it's phenomenal to see the interesting associations he makes with successful people
and what they do similarly.
So it's a great book.
I don't think it's a difficult read.
I think he's a phenomenal writer, but it's not like he doesn't write over your head.
The information, the facts, the data is dense, but he's a great writer.
He has a podcast as well.
is dense but uh he's a great writer he has a podcast as well that uh he's had some interesting folks on there especially a few years ago when i was into it but yeah but he's you know he's also
written a couple other great books the tipping point and blink are two of the ones that i've
read as well from him but uh outliers is a uh a really good book to read. And I read it, I think, about five or six years ago.
So I had to go buy Barnes & Noble because my copy, I think,
is out in California somewhere.
Malibu.
Yeah, it's in Malibu.
But big fan of the book Outliers.
You know, it's funny.
About once a week, I go over to Barnes & Noble
and look for some new books for the stack.
And if I don't have the book that I want to recommend that week,
then I'll make sure I get it.
And every week somebody says something about the book club.
So that's pretty cool to see so many people into it.
I'll get random texts from people about it.
And so that's been the fun thing to see through this whole thing is people actually reading, unlike yourself, Pat, actually reading some of these books.
Oh.
It has been pretty cool.
I love this week you didn't even try.
You just said, oh, phenomenal read, The Power of Now.
Didn't talk about anything in the book.
To be clear, to be clear, we didn't get The Power of Now until very, I mean, today. That thing arrived to be clear we didn't get the power now until very
i mean today that thing arrived today so i didn't get a chance to you know maybe i need to give you
a heads up you know maybe i need to sidebar you give you a little heads up on what's coming so
you can be prepared oh yeah for the week and then it might give you you know 10 days to read a book
instead of a few hours yeah see that's. I appreciate that because I'd like to participate in this book club too.
It's not going to change anything.
No, AJ, you don't know me.
AJ, you don't know me.
Look at my Barnes & Noble collection, dude.
I'm a member there.
I'm basically a subscriber.
Shout out to Barnes & Noble, by the way.
A lot of them around the country are putting these books next to each other.
So people literally just walk in and go, I'll take the ARBC collection.
It's like, well, here's your eight books right here.
Go ahead and have a good one.
I think we need to get Barnes & Noble and maybe Cash App to start sponsoring segments in the shows.
Don't you think?
Does Barnes & Noble not care about readers' advocacy groups?
They should.
Because that's what the Aaron Rodgers book, what's that all about?
They're just corporate greedy fat cats just breaking into cash?
What's that all about, Aaron?
You said it, not me.
I don't believe that either.
They're probably incredible people, as are you.
Thank you so much for your incredible time.
Congrats on the success on thursday night halloween and we can't wait to chat with you one
week from now after you play the chiefs sounds good buddy i appreciate it i'm gonna get back to
my uh guitar playing here well another aaron rogers tuesday has come and gone
Tuesday has come and gone.
This could be a big hour because your favorite team could trade for a great player and become better, or your team could cut a player that's on your team
like the Packers have officially waived Jalen Smith.
What a run.
Good run.
Good run.
Part of Smith brothers, right, that got brought in.
Is that what happened there?
He would have been the third Smith brother, yeah.
Wow.
But I don't think he got one.
Oh, Jalen from the Cowboys.
Yeah, yeah.
I forgot who he was when I just read that.
Yeah.
Yeah, you guys were saying he's definitely going to be better
than whoever he was replacing because old buddy was like a 55-year-old guy,
slow guy who he was replacing.
Yep.
But what we've seen on the internet of Jalen Smith
was a bunch of plays that were not great for Jalen Smith.
And we actually went into an entire speech about how,
much like we saw for Sleepy Joe,
Joe Donnelly,
Sleepy Joe Donnelly here in Indiana,
all the PR was against Joe Donnelly leading up to the election.
We didn't know Joe Donnelly.
We didn't know much about candidates or anything like that.
But we did take to the airwaves and say, hey, Joe Donnelly, I'm tired of seeing four hours
straight of everything terribly, which is a lot.
You've done a lot of bad stuff.
Without a single response.
You know, Joe Donnelly didn't give a single response.
So he allowed this picture to be painted.
He lost.
Yes, he did.
He was the first loser of an election on, I forget which year it was.
That might have been 16, I guess.
Probably 16.
Had to be.
He was the first loser, and it was announced as breaking news.
The incumbent, Joe Donnelly, is out in Indiana.
It was like, no, no, no.
We knew that was the case because literally three hours a night,
all you saw on every channel in Indianapolis was this guy's mistakes
in every single bucket of life.
Sleepy Joe, Mexico Joe, Acapulco Joe.
That's four years ago.
We're still remembering that.
It was the same thing for Jalen Smith.
When he got released from the Cowboys or whatever,
I only saw terrible clips of him on the internet.
I'm like,
hey, Jalen, listen, you need to put some highlights out. We need to see some highlights.
The Packers said, we don't need that, actually. We're actually going to sign him because we need a little depth at linebacker. He's faster than what we have. He could be a playmaker. He was
drafted high. He's healthy. I wonder what happens. It seems like he might have just lost it after the
injury. It seems like he wasn't making many plays. Who knows what's next for Jalen, but we do know the Green Bay Packers on trade deadline day are cutting somebody.
Jalen Smith not a lot of money, but what are they doing?
Are they opening up some space?
We'll see.
Joining us now, Green Bay Packer legend, all-time leading tackler,
Ohioan college football national champion, Super Bowl champion, A.J. Hoff.
A.J., obviously Jalen Smith out is news out of Packers land.
I think the Packers are potentially going to have bigger news in the next two hours.
We'll talk about that.
The big news I want to talk to you right now about before Tyler Big Ball Bass of the Buffalo Bills joins us in a few moments.
Odell Beckham Sr., who is a great follow on Instagram, I am just learning.
Incredibly attractive OG dude.
On Instagram, I am just learning, incredibly attractive OG dude.
Oh, yeah.
Who is on Instagram.
Granted, the video he posted that we were going to talk about was sideways and wrong.
It wasn't necessarily as technologically signed as you would think for a guy of his prowess on Instagram.
I mean, he is in there. He posts a video of Odell Beckham Jr. being wide open in Baker Mayfield, clearly not throwing him the ball.
Odell Beckham Jr. being wide open and Baker Mayfield clearly not throwing him the ball.
Then there is a comment underneath that video from YoungMufasa7.
He says, no matter what anyone says, I can tell Baker just doesn't want to get Odell the ball.
He can have all the excuses in the world, but it shows.
He just genuinely doesn't want to give Odell the ball. And when he does, it's usually in bad situations to make it look bad on Odell.
Either he's hating on Odell, or he just doesn't want him shining for real, for real.
You can't tell me otherwise at this point.
Odell Beckham Sr. replies to the reply, green checkmark, green checkmark, green checkmark.
So all the things you were thinking, young Mufasa 7, Odell Beckham Sr. is agreeing with.
So that then
has to lead you to the question.
If OBS
is saying
it's a bunch of BS,
what do you think OBJ is saying
about the treatment from Baker in
Cleveland on trade deadline day?
He's owed money this year,
not owed any money next year.
It would be a big payday
for whoever would be trading for him
maybe bring some life back into him
which LeBron James said
free OBJ
OBJ will show again why he's special
WR1 hashtag free OBJ
from King James
who's from the Cleveland area
he's from
he's Cowboys fan
I think he's potentially a Rams fan now as well browns fan
browns fan potentially whenever i think he likes baker but he's even coming out free obj it's
getting loud aj how is it in ohio is obj out of cleveland that's quite a price somebody's gonna
have to pay for it but allegedly the browns aren't in on it at all well i certainly think this is not
going to help his case in Cleveland,
the fact that his dad is doing all this and co-signing on whatever young Mufasa was saying.
There's no way Baker is deliberately trying to sabotage Odell.
Ah! Young Mufasa!
That's not what OBS is saying.
Baker's trying to get a $180 million contract,
a $400 million contract.
You think he wants to look bad?
Well, that would be quite a common sense statement there
because Baker would then be picking and choosing
on how he would make himself $100 million.
And we don't know if Baker Mayfield has that many options,
but it is fascinating.
The video that was curated on YouTube by somebody who knows,
maybe it was OBS, I don't know if he edited it himself.
But it's basically that Odell Beckham Jr. is always wide open.
Even though the production's not there and maybe some things happen and we haven't seen Odell be Odell as of late,
Baker, for whatever reason, is not getting him the ball.
The Browns aren't getting him the ball.
And I think me, as an NFL fan, a big-time football fan,
I would like to see Odell Beckham be
electrifying
Odell Beckham Jr.
But everybody's calling into question, will that ever happen
in Cleveland? What quarterback would be
able to make that happen? Green Bay Packers.
Would Aaron Rodgers be able to make that happen?
Unless it's like Von Miller's situation.
No team's going to pay.
Unless the Browns are paying
90-95% of what he's owed, I don't think anyone's going to trade for him. Browns are paying 90%, 95% of what he's owed,
I don't think anyone's going to trade for him.
Do you?
It's a lot of money to be owed.
They could do that.
I don't know what their cap situation's like,
but if they feel like it's gotten that bad and the dad and all this stuff,
they might not want to let this thing roll into the rest of the season.
His cap hit for the season, his pay for the season was 15,750.
So what's that?
Seven, eight.
Yeah.
Seven, 7.87.
Wait, half and half.
They pay half the team they trade him to pays half.
So then it's only three and a half million or whatever.
3.75, whatever the fuck.
You get it.
You could get rid of that number, I guess.
Broncos just proved they could do it yesterday in a collection of picks.
Would Andrew Barry want to do that to get Odell,
knowing that Odell could potentially go somewhere
and become Odell again for the rest of the season?
But if it's toxic and OBS is out there,
who knows what OBJ's feeling.
Trade deadline day is crazy.
So crazy that we're getting a chance to chat with a guy
who I think might have kicked a football 200 yards this past season.
Holy shit. Legit. I have kicked a football 200 yards this past night. Holy shit.
Legit.
I have no idea how his leg is so strong.
It's one of the most impressive things I've seen for some time.
He's in Buffalo, so the weather is tough.
He's out of Georgia Southern.
He wears one eye black.
I don't know what that's for.
We will ask him right now.
Ladies and gentlemen, a man who has a long of 57 yards and 16
to 17 tyler big ball pass yeah what's up dude appreciate you pat thanks for having me on
hey thanks for wearing that shirt man hey we appreciate you ty hey yeah
yeah hey for sure i appreciate you guys. Hey, no problem.
And I just said it in the intro,
and we'll talk about how you started kicking and how you got into this
and how awesome Buffalo has been and your entire ride thus far.
But I need to ask about this kickoff.
I saw this tweet from Dan Fetz, F-E-T-E-S,
and he had a picture of a ball hitting an upright,
and he said that this was off of a kickoff.
Was there a 15-yard penalty on this kickoff? Was this from the 35? And is this the biggest ball ever kicked in
the history of football? Uh, yeah, it was from the 35. Um, it was like my third kickoff of the game
with, we had a little win and after I hit it, so took my steps hit a normal ball and after I followed
through I look up and the ball looks small like I was like that ball is trapped and uh I mean the
call was kick it out so I did and then it hit the upright I was just in shock I was like oh my gosh
that might have been the biggest ball I've ever kicked and we got to the sidelines and one of our
coaches came up and told me it hit about three-fourths of the way up and when it hit it was clocked at a four to six when it hit so i was i was stoked and you know i it was
crazy it was one of the biggest balls i've ever hit yeah for those that don't know if you're
kicking from the 35 obviously to make it to the end zone 65 yards to the back of the end zone 75
yards you normally see everybody between three yards to about 12 yards out of the back there
that thing three quarters up the upright, smacking that,
that had to be a 90-plus yard.
That had to be like almost a 100-yard fucking ball.
Yeah, I don't know.
It was far.
Have you always just had a monster leg, played soccer growing up,
and then got into kicking?
How did you get into kicking, and have you always had just a big leg?
Yeah, so I played soccer growing up. When I was playing soccer, I was like the free
kick specialist. You know, I always had a pretty good leg. But then I got into football in ninth
grade. My grandma actually was like, hey, you should try for the football team. And I was like,
all right, I'll give it a shot. Tried out in ninth grade, made the B team,
played a little bit in B team, and then that was varsity from there on out and i
just remember my farthest field goal in ninth grade was like 35 yards and then it got up to
junior year it got to 60 and senior year 65 and i got to college put on a little bit more weight
and kind of got up a little bit from there so i've always kind of had a leg but i've always had to
work at it just to get it stronger got it hey how detailed are you on uh
with your holder and your snapper and everything you want i've talked to different kickers that are
some are crazy and it has to be like a millimeter exactly where they want it the ball tilted a
certain way and everything like are you crazy detail with that or you just let that thing fly
just put it uh yeah i think the more the more i kick the more i've gotten more detailed and know
i know what i like and we have a phenomenal holder in Matt Hawk and a great long side of Reed Ferguson so they know
exactly where I want it to be and exactly how I want it to be or like lean so if I hit a miss it
Matt knows before I know he's like oh I know you wrapped it or you hit it high but yeah I think the
more I've kicked the more I've gotten we've gotten really detailed and zoned in on it. Vinatieri
wasn't like he didn't yell at me for
things, but it was very easy to tell when
his best ball was being hit on how you
hold it. And it's different than what other
people do. And I would know immediately
upon the kick whether or not it was going in.
You could either see his plant foot
or feel how the ball was going in there.
There are some teams that celebrated Kevin Huber.
I mean, Xhushan and Huber,
they were celebrating that ball that hit that flag.
I never could understand how that would happen as a holder,
but I think it was a breezy day, and maybe Huber wasn't doing that.
Now that you are on with Matt Hawk, his name's Matt Hawk, huh?
It's not Hack.
Yeah, it's Hawk, yeah.
Yeah, I fucked that one up.
Tell him, send him my apologies.
He's an incredible athlete, but moving on to Matt from Corey and then with this Bills culture,
what has it been like with the new operation?
What has it been like as the Bills continue to grow here?
Last year, obviously, you're young.
Now you're a little bit older.
You're in there.
What is the culture like in that building?
It seems like you all are kind of on the same page at all times.
Yeah, yeah.
The culture, man, we're hungry.
We feel like we're the underdogs and we always will be.
So we come in each and every day to work and just give it our best.
And Coach always says, you know, try to improve one day at a time.
Just try to find something to improve on, whether it's something small,
whether it's something big.
But as far as the operation goes, right when Matt came in in the offseason,
it was like we've kicked for a year.
It was smooth.
He's a phenomenal holder.
He knows exactly how I like it.
And Reed gives him laces, and, you know, it was like we've never skipped a beat.
Hey, what's Josh Allen like?
I know I've asked other Bills players, and he was on the Manning cast last night.
I thought he showed his personality.
He seems like a fun dude.
We watch all of his kind of pranks and things he's doing during practice.
Is he – like, does that team run through Josh Allen?
Absolutely, yeah.
He's our leader.
He's a funny dude if you really get to know him.
It's awesome watching him throw the football, man,
just watching my practice, slinging it.
It's a sight to see.
And he's just a really good dude and a really good leader.
Let's talk about Bill's Mafia.
Have you gotten a chance to enjoy them much?
Have you gotten a chance to go out and dabble with Bill's?
You build those around?
No, I haven't gone out a whole lot.
But, you know, I got to feel them in the playoff game last year
when we had a little bit of fans, and it was crazy.
But, yeah, I mean, it's awesome.
The home games are unbelievable.
It's super loud, and it's hype for sure.
Have you seen a buildup?
I mean, to age?
No, I don't even know what that is. I mean, you'll know it's hype for sure. Have you seen a buildup? I mean, I don't even,
I don't even know what that is.
I mean,
you'll find out when you see it.
You'll know it.
You'll know it when you see it,
Tyler.
The one eye black.
Yeah.
Is there a reason for that?
Have you always done that?
And how did we,
how do we start it?
Will that be forever?
Yeah,
for sure.
So it started,
like I said,
remember I said said my grandma
was the whole reason i got into kicking so my senior in high school she had breast cancer
and then so it started off one game i did like a m for like memo like what we call her and ever
since then i've done it but it got to the point where like the m was like almost my whole like
face was black i was like i probably need to cut that out it's a lot so I just moved on to one eye black and you know I do it for her and you know it kind of gives me a
little swag with it so that's just me being me wow we I love I love it I'm happy that there is an
incredible story behind it because you know if you were just doing that for no reason also I mean I
would add a lot of follow-up questions but also awesome. Whenever you think about the Buffalo Bills,
and you said you guys are the underdog,
but it doesn't feel like that's the case now,
especially after these last couple years.
Have you gotten to feel like the success of the team?
Has anybody, like Josh Allen just signed a few hundred million dollar deals.
Stephon Diggs comes in there.
Cole Beasley is two albums deep and also picking up a hundred and some yards.
Do you feel like in there everybody knows how good you are?
Do you guys have any clue what you're supposed to do?
Does McDermott ever talk about that?
How do you view it in the next couple of years in the build of this whole thing?
Yeah, I just think we know who we are, but we just come into work with our head down.
We don't look too far in the future.
It's just one week at a time. We just come into work and we compete and we just get
ourselves better go ahead ty tyler with you being from the south and going to georgia southern like
when you go up to buffalo how much do you have to like adjust how you kick and everything because
obviously you don't have the weather or the snow or the wind or any of that kind of stuff down there
right um well i mean in georgia southern we had a lot of rain, and it was windy at times, but it took a couple months just to get used to the cold
and just how it feels off your foot.
But after that, man, you know, you just got to embrace it.
You can't change it.
You can't control it.
So you just got to go out and have fun with it.
McDermott said he loved it.
I think whenever he came on our show, he was like, oh, I love Tyler.
Like, everybody, I enjoy that.
Are you loud, energy all through the day, kind of quiet?
What is your role, you think, in the locker room?
I would say, man, just keep my head down and work.
But sometimes, you know, I let my personality show within the specialist group.
But, yeah, just keep my head down and work.
As long as you make kicks, everybody fucking loves you, man.
And that's all you do.
Go ahead, Connor.
Yeah, Tyler, on the broadcast when you guys played the Titans, they were talking about
how you possibly have the best swag out of all kickers.
Do you believe that, or do you think you even have the best swag on all of the Buffalo Bills
teams?
Great question.
We got a lot of dudes on this team with a lot of swag.
I mean, I feel like I got a little bit, but I don't compare myself to anybody.
But I'm just trying to be like, you know,
Diggs has a lot of swag.
Josh has a lot of swag.
You know, just trying to have a little part for myself.
Stephon Diggs, yeah, yeah.
Here's another Diggs.
Here's another Diggs.
Go ahead, Tom.
No swag having ass.
Look at your no swag having Diggs ass over there.
It's very true.
No, that's a cowboy.
I don't know if you happened to see this this weekend in the kicker community.
Chris Boswell was decapitated.
When that happens, do you just, like, send a group text out to all the kickers in the league,
like, T's and P's, or how does that work?
I mean, I haven't talked to him, but, you know, you just hope he gets better, man.
You know, it's an unfortunate event, and, you know, you just hate that it had to happen, but you just hope he gets better, man. It's an unfortunate event, and
you just hate that it had to happen,
but you just hope he gets better soon.
Do you make any tackles? Do you get in there?
I've had a few tackles.
Coach,
they don't like me getting too far down
inside the 20, but I've
had a few tackles when I just try
to slow them down and get in the way as best I can
if it ever breaks out, but we have a pretty good kickoff unit to where, you know, hopefully I don't
have to worry about that a whole lot. Yeah. And I think if I'm coaching the Buffalo Bills, I got
a kickoff guy that can kick a ball a hundred fucking yards. Just go ahead and murder that.
Tyler, we can't thank you enough for joining us, man. You've taken it. I appreciate it, man.
No problem. You've taken the NFL by storm. You're awesome. You're incredible. And I love how strong your leg is.
That is something that I think big ball hitters enjoy.
And you crush balls, dude.
It's awesome.
I appreciate it.
I'm trying to be like you, man.
I'm trying to be like you.
You're a lot better than me.
I ain't never hit a fucking kickoff three quarters of the other night.
I ain't never in my entire life.
It's amazing to watch.
We appreciate you immensely.
Good luck the rest of the season.
Do you like the name Big Ball
Bass? What do you, what if?
Yeah, I'm cool with that.
Ladies and
gentlemen, Tyler, Big Ball
Bass.
Today's show is presented
by Arby's.
Just when you thought it couldn't get better than the real
country-style rib sandwich that was
smoked low and slow in an
East Texas smokehouse,
Arby's
one now did themselves again.
We now introduce to you the
Arby's Boneless Wings.
Arby's delivered
7,000 of these things to the office yesterday,
and we can verify
they are delicious.
Top notch.
Legit.
Perfectly sauced.
Yeah.
Not too much, not too little.
Seem like, now granted it was for our office specifically.
So you're going to have to try out.
Seem like it was cooked to a perfect amount.
And I ate it hours and hours later.
Still a good kick.
Good cold. still a good kick
good taste good texture on the boneless wing delicious very impressed they should have been
doing boneless wings for a long time yeah they had barbecue they had uh buffalo they had uh i think
there's two others right i don't know honey we had those two. We're talking about six pieces of all white meat in crispy seasoned breading
tossed in either classic buffalo or hot honey sauce.
There it is.
Served with their new crinkle cut French fries,
which might be even better than curly fries.
I'm not saying that.
I am not saying that.
They told me to say that.
They are very good.
They are.
They are.
They're salted.
Can you get some cheese on this?
Oh.
They're salted very well.
Oh, my God.
All of that is just $5.
Wow.
Six pieces of boneless chicken.
What?
How do they make money?
I don't know.
Crinkle cut french fries.
What?
The cheese would probably
be a little bit more.
Yeah, 60 cents.
$5.
Get out and try yours today.
