Speaker 1: Calm Down with Aaron and Carissa is a production of
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. The ring light situation that you have
Speaker 1: is great. It's very warm. Mine is cold. Well I
Speaker 1: look like hell, but that's I just have not slept
Speaker 1: this week and welcome to the Calm Down Podcast. My
Speaker 1: sleeping has not been good. I'm with you, and I'm
Speaker 1: normally a really good sleeper. I'm having a cup time too.
Speaker 1: I don't know, We've got to figure that out. My
Speaker 1: problem is Jared's had a little bit of full well
Speaker 1: last night, he had a little bit of flegm in
Speaker 1: his throat and I don't know how in the middle
Speaker 1: of the night when he sleeps he can still clear
Speaker 1: his throat. So every five seconds he was like and
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't do this. So finally I
Speaker 1: turned on the light. Not loudly or you know, meanly,
Speaker 1: but I just turned it on and he woke up
Speaker 1: and he's like, what's going on? And grab my pillow,
Speaker 1: I grabbed the charger, I grab my water, and I said,
Speaker 1: I love you very much, but I am going to
Speaker 1: the room across the way. I don't want you to
Speaker 1: wake up and wonder if I'm mad at you or
Speaker 1: like whatever. But I just need some sleep. And he's like, oh, sorry, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's fine, I'll take some night. Well, I'm sorry, I'm
Speaker 1: say no, no, go to bad, We're good, Um, go
Speaker 1: to sleep. I think I got maybe six hours, which
Speaker 1: isn't enough. And then at the dog came in crying
Speaker 1: that mommy wasn't in the right room and what are
Speaker 1: you waiting here? So yeah, anyways, and then you played
Speaker 1: this song let me clear my throatna noa, noa no
Speaker 1: how and then he came in and he goes sorry,
Speaker 1: and I know it looked like hell, And I go
Speaker 1: did you sleep well? And he goes, yes, great, great
Speaker 1: because I can hear you clearing your throat from the
Speaker 1: other side of the room. Like me, get this guy,
Speaker 1: los Ina, how is your weight? Girl? You had Sunday off?
Speaker 1: Sunday off? It was great, Um, good time. And now
Speaker 1: I am about to be on the week from hell.
Speaker 1: But other than that, it's gonna be great. We have
Speaker 1: two great games coming up. We have Packers at Arizona
Speaker 1: undefeated Arizona, and then we have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Speaker 1: at New Orleans. So it'll be a really good week.
Speaker 1: I know, it's very busy, for you, but an incredible week.
Speaker 1: You're gonna sit down oun with Kyler Murray and Tom Brady. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're excited. I'm trying to lay it all out as
Speaker 1: we speak here, and just unfortunately breaking news all over
Speaker 1: the place with first what we thought defensive coordinator Joe
Speaker 1: Barry out and now poor thing Davantae Adams out. So
Speaker 1: the ever evolving news cycle here people. Well, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you about someone that's always reporting the news with a twist.
Speaker 1: Pat McAfee. He's our guest today on the Calm Down Podcast.
Speaker 1: Aaron and I both love him because we aspire to
Speaker 1: be like him. He just says whatever he wants when
Speaker 1: he wants, and everyone loves him. He's a guy that
Speaker 1: you put in the middle of a room and people
Speaker 1: just gravitate towards. He's the host of the Pat McAfee Show,
Speaker 1: which is on Serious XM and YouTube Monday through Friday
Speaker 1: twelve to three, and so we're excited to talk to him.
Speaker 1: We both went on his show over the last few
Speaker 1: weeks and he's hysterical, so we'll look forward to that.
Speaker 1: I want to be him, You want to be him?
Speaker 1: I do. I like how he can just say whatever
Speaker 1: he feels and people roll with it. It's perfect, just
Speaker 1: like a black tank top and a chain. That's what
Speaker 1: I want to aspire to be the guy that can
Speaker 1: perfect on why not? Okay, so your week then we're
Speaker 1: going to start in Arizona. Y. So you leave. I
Speaker 1: know I'm always asking to your schedule, but I think
Speaker 1: that sometimes, you know, our listeners enjoy hearing about this
Speaker 1: from you, So you will leave for that Tuesday. You
Speaker 1: leave tomorrow. I don't know. It's just gonna be a
Speaker 1: long week on the road. I was kind of hoping
Speaker 1: to get there on Wednesday morning, but you know, your
Speaker 1: biggest fear when you sit down with these guys and
Speaker 1: fly in the day of is that there will be
Speaker 1: a plane delay or something. So I think I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have to leave Tuesday night, which is kind of a
Speaker 1: bummer because I you needed one more night in your
Speaker 1: own bed. Maybe who if I wasn't kicked out because
Speaker 1: somebody was coughing? Um? So yeah, So I'll leave Tuesday,
Speaker 1: then do the game on Thursday night and try to
Speaker 1: figure out does anyone have a plane? Does anyone want
Speaker 1: to fly me from Arizona to Tampa? Terry Bradshaw Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna get on the phone with Bill
Speaker 1: Richards right after this and try to plan it out
Speaker 1: because then I gotta do. Yes. I'm fortunate enough to
Speaker 1: get Mr Brady on Friday and then got to get
Speaker 1: to New Orleans, so yeah, it'll be busy, but it'll
Speaker 1: be great. So someone like you who sat down with
Speaker 1: Brady a number of times, now, are you where your
Speaker 1: line of questioning? I know Joel our producer, right, I'm
Speaker 1: assuming Joel's doing this one with you. So Joel is
Speaker 1: one of our future producers that sits down and does
Speaker 1: these amazing interviews with you. But do you know in
Speaker 1: your head, like the line of questioning that you want
Speaker 1: or how do you try to differentiate the interviews when
Speaker 1: you've sat with the same person a few times. I mean,
Speaker 1: I remember Peter Sugar saying this to me. One of
Speaker 1: the hardest things about covering Tom Brady right now is
Speaker 1: trying to figure out something new to say to him. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I just had the chance
Speaker 1: to be on a podcast with him, and here a
Speaker 1: bunch of broadcasters ask him questions and he had just
Speaker 1: awesome answers about his entire career in his life and
Speaker 1: all that. So I don't know. Joel and I need
Speaker 1: to talk. We have to sit down Kyler Murray first
Speaker 1: and then we'll figure out Brady. But yeah, it'll be interesting.
Speaker 1: I mean what we're at the halfway point of this
Speaker 1: season heading in the week eight. Now, I'm having in
Speaker 1: one six hundred touchdown six hundred and two. It's just
Speaker 1: potential m v P of the c I mean, this
Speaker 1: guy is just unbelievable. So I know I need to
Speaker 1: take his sleeping powder tonight to help me sleep better.
Speaker 1: He's got a sleeping powder, he does, and it's unbelievable
Speaker 1: and I've taken it before. The TB twelve brand has it,
Speaker 1: and I will tell you this, it knocks you out
Speaker 1: so hard. I was having dreams about my high school boyfriend.
Speaker 1: Oh my go insane. The sleeping that sounds like a nightmare.
Speaker 1: For Barrow his trainer about it. I was like, Alex,
Speaker 1: this thing is unbelievable. I was having like crazy high
Speaker 1: school dreams and he was like, oh yeah, it's pretty.
Speaker 1: That magnesium and it's like a cherry magnesium. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take it tonight. Oh my gosh. Wait, So
Speaker 1: if you have a dream like that, do you tell
Speaker 1: Jared that you have a dream like that? I tell
Speaker 1: Jared everything. I this is unbelievable. So Thursday night we
Speaker 1: had our game where were a Cleveland. I got two
Speaker 1: hours of sleep then slept on the plane, so I
Speaker 1: was exhausted. Friday night when I went to bed, I
Speaker 1: went out with a couple of my girlfriends and we
Speaker 1: had a good time. I fell asleep hard when I
Speaker 1: got home, fell asleep hard that I woke up in
Speaker 1: the middle of, like, you know, my sleep. And I
Speaker 1: woke up and I thought I was still on the road.
Speaker 1: And I looked over and I was like, who is
Speaker 1: this person in better with me? I'm on the world
Speaker 1: and I did. I told Jared he goes okay, And
Speaker 1: I was like, I was so panicked. I was still
Speaker 1: in a hotel and I'm like, who's in bed with me?
Speaker 1: I know that you had a good time because I
Speaker 1: was texting you and you wouldn't text me back. Then
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, is she okay? Like there's a
Speaker 1: certain amount of time with certain friends that goes by,
Speaker 1: and if you haven't heard from them then four hours dinner.
Speaker 1: Now I'm worried. And I was like, just send me
Speaker 1: a white flag and let me know that you're okay.
Speaker 1: Good for you. By the way, that's a rare Friday
Speaker 1: night you get to go out in town. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to be a better friend to my girlfriends here that
Speaker 1: I lose touch with for like six months that aren't
Speaker 1: involved in football. Jacqueline Quick, Heather Um, all those girls.
Speaker 1: So yes, I said, there's nobody I'll put leather pants
Speaker 1: on and fancy shoes on, two hours sleep and those girls.
Speaker 1: So we went. We a four hour dinner. We were
Speaker 1: going to potentially get me a tattoo of a bear
Speaker 1: or number we're on my body, or do a second piercing,
Speaker 1: but thank god, the dinner went so long we didn't
Speaker 1: even you know, go down that path. You don't have
Speaker 1: any tattoos, right, not a tattoo. And I don't even
Speaker 1: have a double piercing in my ear because we know
Speaker 1: how bad my ears hurt. Also thought of the Calm
Speaker 1: Down podcast and after this, let's get to Pat McAfee Cleveland.
Speaker 1: There was a whipping wind around First Energy Stadium. I
Speaker 1: had the hair and a ponytail. We've discussed what happens
Speaker 1: to my ears when it's cold. I thought about the
Speaker 1: Calm Down podcast. I almost did a freaking ig. My
Speaker 1: ears hurt so bad, but I didn't want to put
Speaker 1: on the two. It was miserable. And we're not even
Speaker 1: like in the cold part of the season. Pat McAfee
Speaker 1: is coming up next, and you and I are going
Speaker 1: to talk about piercings and tattoos on our next podcast,
Speaker 1: but more starting actually with that macfie when we come back. So, Pat,
Speaker 1: you were kind enough to have both Aaron and I
Speaker 1: on your show with the last two weeks while we
Speaker 1: both had a time. My favorite, though, is that you
Speaker 1: lead with the intro of mine from Wikipedia page. So
Speaker 1: here's your intro. You're a businessman, sports analyst, podcaster, professional
Speaker 1: wrestler and former football punter. Am I missing anything? I
Speaker 1: mean there's probably a couple of different titles I could
Speaker 1: have thrown in there if I really wanted to nit pick,
Speaker 1: But that was an amazing intro. You crushed it. Well. Look,
Speaker 1: I mean we don't have time to to list at all,
Speaker 1: but he is Pat McAfee of the famed Pat McAfee show.
Speaker 1: No one's a bigger fan of yours than Aaron and I.
Speaker 1: T I mean she taught me about the Teas and Peace.
Speaker 1: I was late to the game on it, but I'm
Speaker 1: all in now. Hey, we didn't necessarily, I don't think
Speaker 1: we created Teas and Peace, but we have mastered it.
Speaker 1: It is teas and Peas answers every single negative, potential
Speaker 1: awkward situation you want to get yourself out of. When
Speaker 1: you're talking live on a microphone, it is, Hey, I
Speaker 1: want the best for whoever these and peace whatever is
Speaker 1: going on. I mean, obviously that can help there. But
Speaker 1: I am a massive fan of you guys, So thank
Speaker 1: you for coming on the show. Very nice of you
Speaker 1: to say those things, and thank you for the invite here.
Speaker 1: My wife massive fan of this show, so this is huge.
Speaker 1: Where is Samantha right this minute. She's probably in her office.
Speaker 1: She runs a foundation called Further Brand, which raises money
Speaker 1: to help families kind of pay for canine cancer treatments.
Speaker 1: Because our dog Valerie, who's half pitbull, half sharp pay
Speaker 1: she's she's my baby. Like, I love this dog. This
Speaker 1: dog is literally my baby. It's the first animal I
Speaker 1: think I've ever actually connected with. Feels like she potentially
Speaker 1: likes me just as much as she likes her mom too.
Speaker 1: So it's like one of those things. And she got
Speaker 1: diagnosed with cancer, and obviously I was like, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: gonna do whatever. And then they gave me the prices
Speaker 1: for how much it was. In Sam and I were
Speaker 1: both like, if this was when we were growing up,
Speaker 1: her with her parents, me with my parents, we would
Speaker 1: have never been able to afford this. This is a
Speaker 1: whole different story. So she created an entire foundation with
Speaker 1: a couple of her girls, and that's what she's doing
Speaker 1: right now, is just trying to continue to build that thing.
Speaker 1: Whatever you need, we'll promote it. We are dog moms.
Speaker 1: We don't have kids yet. Are you kidding? There's mine
Speaker 1: right there, mine's over here. Oh you can't really see
Speaker 1: how a shepherd and a husky. Aaron got the Ralph
Speaker 1: Lauren dog. I do Golden Retriever, but he acts like
Speaker 1: an asshole sometimes, so he had to go to Caesar Milan.
Speaker 1: You know. Wait, so yesterday this is Aaron and I
Speaker 1: spend our Sunday's texting back and forth, whether she's working
Speaker 1: a game, where I'm doing in game updates. Uh, we're
Speaker 1: good at multitasking. But yesterday she was sending me some
Speaker 1: incredible stuff from you. So you're set up to watch games. Wait,
Speaker 1: what's your pup's name, A Valerie? I have a coredyan
Speaker 1: named Chuck, but Valerie is the Yeah, so Valerie was
Speaker 1: in the shop, right, she sits there in her little
Speaker 1: bed watching games. I was unbelievable. Okay, you're you've done
Speaker 1: many things right. You are a natural at the Just
Speaker 1: give you a subject and you can run with it,
Speaker 1: and that is not easy to do. When did you
Speaker 1: know that you were going to be good at this
Speaker 1: whole TV, hosting, radio, all of it. Well, that's very nice.
Speaker 1: I'm not a hard center. Sure that there are some
Speaker 1: days where I sound like an absolute stooge when I'm talking,
Speaker 1: Hey Aaron, I get myself and I don't know if
Speaker 1: this happens to you, guys, because you're so professional. Our
Speaker 1: show is not. Our show is not blocked up, right.
Speaker 1: There's ideas and potential things that we can talk about.
Speaker 1: And the boys that's why the boys are so talented.
Speaker 1: They can just keep up with whatever, right, And I'm
Speaker 1: just it's basically just the diaries of almost like a
Speaker 1: madman while I'm doing the show, and there's sometimes where
Speaker 1: I get lost. I mean, I'm deep in it's something
Speaker 1: that how did I get here? How the hell do
Speaker 1: I get out of here? But I've just I've always
Speaker 1: enjoyed conversation. I've always been incredibly curious too. Naturally, I'm
Speaker 1: a very curious person, and I'm also like one of
Speaker 1: the most basic humans of all the time. If I
Speaker 1: like something, there's a really good chance that a lot
Speaker 1: of people like. If I think something tastes good, there's
Speaker 1: a really good chance that a lot of people enjoy
Speaker 1: the taste of it as well. So I'm like incredibly lucky.
Speaker 1: I'm incredibly curious. I like to think of myself is
Speaker 1: not that intelligent, but I'm pretty observant and my memory
Speaker 1: is pretty solid, so you kind of piece all those
Speaker 1: things together. I still remember what it's like to be
Speaker 1: a fan of people that talk and listen and shows
Speaker 1: and things like that. I feel like I'm trying to
Speaker 1: talk to my friends whenever I'm on the show, because
Speaker 1: my friends and I are a dumb group of people,
Speaker 1: so you have to explain a lot of things. But
Speaker 1: it's it's one of those things where I've been very,
Speaker 1: very lucky for the experiences what I'm potentially good at.
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, I'm just I'm very, very lucky. But
Speaker 1: I appreciate that compliment coming from you and you, Aaron,
Speaker 1: because you guys are two of the goats in this
Speaker 1: whole thing. You're very sweet. We know we're just old,
Speaker 1: but it's just let you rip. Tom Brady is made
Speaker 1: looking old. Damn good. I'm over that old ship. I
Speaker 1: don't care anymore. Aaron, you killed us. I thought I
Speaker 1: gave you a great intro to Chris. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you heard it gave Aaron doesn't want to be um,
Speaker 1: you know, under the spotlight. She's good in it, but
Speaker 1: she doesn't like it. I like it. I'm like, do
Speaker 1: we have anything else? Do we have any more time
Speaker 1: for some introws? Hey? By the way, speaking of some
Speaker 1: stat lines on one another, you're May second, we're May fourth.
Speaker 1: You need to have it. We need to have a
Speaker 1: joint birthday party Sinco de Mayo style. We have the
Speaker 1: same birthday you're on the second. I think we need
Speaker 1: to make this happen. Conterwed by Don Julio. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: in on it. Hey, I'm sorry I missed all your
Speaker 1: guys birthdays. By the way, I've been self writing, mind
Speaker 1: so hard, like by the time May fourth comes, I'm
Speaker 1: normally passed out. Happy birthday. I missed a lot of
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to you about that. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: a great to be born, stubborn assid we're stubbord. I
Speaker 1: got so mad at my mom well later on in life,
Speaker 1: when I started drinking heavily that she couldn't hold me
Speaker 1: in for the fifth because I'm like, how kick ass
Speaker 1: would it have been to have a Sinko de Mayo birthday.
Speaker 1: I was born one eleven in the morning on May fourth,
Speaker 1: so she couldn't hold me in so fast, so quickly
Speaker 1: her labor everything was I was almost born in the
Speaker 1: Dotson of my parents car. It was a quick, quick,
Speaker 1: she's in, she's out delivery that my dad said, if
Speaker 1: I was a boy, it was either going to be
Speaker 1: Yas or Dotson. So there's no way she was holding
Speaker 1: me in. Do you have a good delivery story, because
Speaker 1: like may babies are crazy. Well, so, by the way,
Speaker 1: great to hear that that there wasn't a long labor,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, as if it had been
Speaker 1: you know, seasons long labors out there. I've heard it
Speaker 1: is tough out there, and hopefully one day my wife
Speaker 1: and I will be able to have a child, and
Speaker 1: I'll be blessed with that. My kid will be a
Speaker 1: nightmare for sure. I am very scared of what my
Speaker 1: child is potentially going to be a demon out there. Um.
Speaker 1: The only thing that's ever said about my labor is
Speaker 1: that my head was just so like I have a
Speaker 1: very large cranny, extra large helmet in the NFL, big hats,
Speaker 1: we're talking big. I guess I don't. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't really wear fitts. It's big. It's like seven and
Speaker 1: something eights whatever it is. Ken who Kevin Mensh with
Speaker 1: the Rangers back in the day when I worked baseball
Speaker 1: for espn uh, he was like a seven and a half.
Speaker 1: It was like one of the biggest heads out there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Large cranium on me, and my mom says that it's
Speaker 1: been this way since birth. So it's never talked about
Speaker 1: in a glowing like my birth. It's always like when
Speaker 1: I came into the world. It's always like that was
Speaker 1: a painful day and everything changed that day. But it's great.
Speaker 1: I love my parents. I was born in mcgeese Women's
Speaker 1: Hospital in Pittsburgh, UK. Is your mom's name, Sally, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Sally's an angel, man beuty, what a great name like
Speaker 1: Sally Aaron and I love the movie Steel Magnoias, and
Speaker 1: I just immediately think of Sally Fields and any woman
Speaker 1: named Sally is just a sweet little angel. Well Sally
Speaker 1: and McAfee. I mean, she is a sweet little angel.
Speaker 1: But she does hold good. I mean she she huh,
Speaker 1: just teasing. I said, you want to get into it.
Speaker 1: What's her biggest grudge she holds against you besides the
Speaker 1: size of your head? Well against me? I don't know her.
Speaker 1: Me and my mom are good. We have been good
Speaker 1: for like the last fifteen years. You know. There was
Speaker 1: a time there though, where we hated. She hated me.
Speaker 1: I was very hate herble. I understand that as I
Speaker 1: was trying to go through my entire high school life
Speaker 1: in existence. But were were you like a partier or
Speaker 1: were you rebelled or you just you know, questioned authority?
Speaker 1: Why were you bad? Yeah? Me and being the authority
Speaker 1: not really necessarily the greatest. My peers always seemed to
Speaker 1: like me. Teachers, principles, cops, you name it. There's always
Speaker 1: seemed to be a little bit of a disagreement here.
Speaker 1: Because I would like to talk about why they feel
Speaker 1: the way they feel and why I feel the way
Speaker 1: I feel. I just so happened to be a nine
Speaker 1: or a tenure who's probably shouldn't be giving my, you know,
Speaker 1: my opinions on situation. So my mom had to deal
Speaker 1: with a lot of that. I had a I had
Speaker 1: a Cigarett sales operation going in fifth grade where I
Speaker 1: would buy cigarettes for twenty five cents and sell them
Speaker 1: for fifty cents. And I almost kind of expelled and
Speaker 1: sent the boarding school for that. I mean, my mom
Speaker 1: had to answer a lot of questions for me. It
Speaker 1: doesn't say businessman on Wikipedia for no reason. You know,
Speaker 1: how did this plane already it was selling cigarettes at
Speaker 1: age five? So my mom, I don't know how old
Speaker 1: you are in fifth grade? Is that? How old is that?
Speaker 1: Is that? I don't know. I think you're like twelve,
Speaker 1: because yeah, eleven, twelve, because junior high you start like
Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen. I don't know what do I know? I
Speaker 1: wanted extras. I just wanted extras. There's this grape juice
Speaker 1: that was came in this little uh, I forget what
Speaker 1: it was. It tasted grade it was like fifty cents
Speaker 1: though it was an extra on top of lunch, and uh,
Speaker 1: my parents didn't make a lot of money obviously, like
Speaker 1: a lot of people, and I didn't want to ask
Speaker 1: them for the extras every day because the the lunch
Speaker 1: price was here's a buck, here's a buck, here's a buck.
Speaker 1: And I wanted extras everybody's evening. So I started hustling.
Speaker 1: And uh, I started selling cigarettes for like twenty cents
Speaker 1: a pop. I get them, I get fifty cents in return.
Speaker 1: And my I was selling everybody, seniors in high school
Speaker 1: all the way down to sixth graders. You know. I
Speaker 1: was moved even and so much so that I had
Speaker 1: a full carton. I actually moved all the way up
Speaker 1: to like a cart and I had a pretty good
Speaker 1: operation going. And then somebody ratted me out, and uh,
Speaker 1: but Sally, Sally went in there and said, isn't this
Speaker 1: a good thing? Though, Like, shouldn't we be shouldn't we
Speaker 1: be potentially looking at the bright side of this. She
Speaker 1: had to go to bat for me, but not everybody
Speaker 1: felt that way. So I love my mom. She is sweet,
Speaker 1: but she she will hate people too, which is awesome.
Speaker 1: That's good. I think I think you should be I
Speaker 1: think you should be worried about someone that likes everyone.
Speaker 1: You know, everyone give me. My mom always said this, Hey,
Speaker 1: chriss it, don't worry if people don't like you, you
Speaker 1: don't like everyone like well, that's a fair point, Kathy.
Speaker 1: So I always say that because people get so upset
Speaker 1: whenever people say, you know your things on the internet,
Speaker 1: and I used to kind of get upset as well.
Speaker 1: But if you don't like me, there's a good chance
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna like you like so well, this is
Speaker 1: a good thing. We've kind of encountered each other. We've
Speaker 1: experienced each other. You don't like me, I don't know you.
Speaker 1: I hate you. Let's just keep it moving and have
Speaker 1: a good time. Is it's a great way to you.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you who likes you, Aaron Rodgers. So you're
Speaker 1: the envy of many because Aaron opens up to you
Speaker 1: different than he does most. And I know you guys
Speaker 1: both have a great relationship with him, and this is
Speaker 1: a relationship business. Why do you think that he's or
Speaker 1: how did you guys develop such a report where he
Speaker 1: feels comfortable enough to open up to you differently than
Speaker 1: he would with most. I'm not sure I'm welcome. I'm
Speaker 1: really I have knowing I'm very lucky. I think I
Speaker 1: think everybody I talked to knows that they're talking to
Speaker 1: somebody that is dumber than them, probably done something much
Speaker 1: worse than them, and also not setting them up. Like
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to set anybody up, you know. And
Speaker 1: I think everybody knows that when they're coming to talk
Speaker 1: to me and my boys, it's like, hey, this is
Speaker 1: gonna be a good time here if we get into
Speaker 1: something cool, but I'm not trying to set you up
Speaker 1: for any situation. And Aaron, he followed me on Twitter
Speaker 1: for a while, so as I was in the league,
Speaker 1: I tweeted it a little bit. And I had done
Speaker 1: some stuff on the internet here in little with Indianapolis,
Speaker 1: and he had followed me for a while, And it
Speaker 1: might have been because of what happened on NFL l AM.
Speaker 1: I got a chance to go on NFL a M,
Speaker 1: which is on all the buildings, so I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people got introduced me quickly, plus my Twitter accounts.
Speaker 1: We had followed each other for a couple of years
Speaker 1: and then we got to meet at this golf outing
Speaker 1: down in the Bahamas. I was invited to play on
Speaker 1: his team against the NBA, and we had like a
Speaker 1: five six hour rain to lay down there and we
Speaker 1: got a chance to really, you know, have a pretty
Speaker 1: good time. So we started drinking a little bit, we
Speaker 1: started sitting and having conversations, and as that conversations continue
Speaker 1: to go, I started to realize the depth of this
Speaker 1: dude has the well thought out, how hilarity the stories.
Speaker 1: And I told him, I was like, I know nothing
Speaker 1: about you. I do one of the greatest quarterbacks of
Speaker 1: all time, one of the most famous people on Earth.
Speaker 1: I know nothing about you except for the stories that
Speaker 1: have kind of been said about you by a couple
Speaker 1: of people. I'm like, how come we don't get out
Speaker 1: and like say, like, this isn't true. You know, why
Speaker 1: why can't we do this? And he said I never
Speaker 1: wanted to answer things because I'd be spending my entire
Speaker 1: day answering things that weren't right. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I just think at some point you should prove to
Speaker 1: people that you aren't this robot that everybody kind of
Speaker 1: talks about. And then it kind of just one thing
Speaker 1: led to another, and then I got the incredible opportunity
Speaker 1: to chat with him with a j who was one
Speaker 1: of his best friends and the boys, and I know
Speaker 1: how lucky. We are, very thankful last year too, what
Speaker 1: a joke jokes on every week whins the m v P.
Speaker 1: Very very lucky, very humble. People are looking for him
Speaker 1: for to talk to him, for answers about what happened
Speaker 1: this summer, and you get the interview. I before I
Speaker 1: sit down with him, I'm listening to your podcast to
Speaker 1: try to prepare. I don't know if it was this year.
Speaker 1: I think it was last year that I maybe it
Speaker 1: was this year. I don't know. We just started talking
Speaker 1: about you before the interview, and I'm like this guy,
Speaker 1: Like I just said, I'm so jealous of Pat. I
Speaker 1: want to be Pat. I want to drop an F
Speaker 1: bomb on air. I want to Nuffin Wood. I don't
Speaker 1: because then I lose my job and I never get
Speaker 1: that plane. Um, whoa hello, And uh no, I just said,
Speaker 1: he's the Andy Cohen of sports. He gets everybody. And
Speaker 1: I told you that Pat to be comfortable. We want
Speaker 1: to sit down and have cocktails with you, and we
Speaker 1: want to talk about everything. And I'm just I'm so
Speaker 1: jealous of that. I want to be like that. And
Speaker 1: uh That's why I was so nervous about being on
Speaker 1: your show. I feel like you're a little nervous to
Speaker 1: have me on th too, Like I felt like you
Speaker 1: guys didn't know how much you could go there with me, right,
Speaker 1: love it. Now, we had a legend on Aaron, You're
Speaker 1: a legend. What are you talking about? We were obviously
Speaker 1: nerve for having an absolute legend on the show. Both Um.
Speaker 1: Everything you just said there was incredibly nice, and I'm
Speaker 1: very very lucky that it feels like every time somebody
Speaker 1: comes on, they're like cool, you know, like they're ready
Speaker 1: to come on. We've had a couple interviews that were terrible.
Speaker 1: Who okay, So Jerry Rice gave us top five worst
Speaker 1: conversation about the Really Jerry's great. Why I've heard I
Speaker 1: bet he is, but it with us and he was
Speaker 1: trying to push up I bet he is. We'll look
Speaker 1: forward to that Verry Rice Roni. He was trying to
Speaker 1: push Rice Sroni or something like that, and it was you,
Speaker 1: we want to get the plug in, so uh he
Speaker 1: and we just didn't have a good connection, you know,
Speaker 1: and you can normally tell really pun intended. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: whether we're gonna get in there, um Rondale Moore, who
Speaker 1: is unbelievable for the Arizona Cardinals. This year, he was
Speaker 1: what to produce boiler Makers. He came on, it was
Speaker 1: very evident that he hated us. I mean he hated
Speaker 1: he hated the whole thing. It was like a I
Speaker 1: think it was like forty five seconds, maybe a minute long.
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I'm sucking done with this.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get out of here or whatever. But he's
Speaker 1: an incredible football player. So we're very very lucky. We're
Speaker 1: very very lucky. And I appreciate those kind words because
Speaker 1: all I wanted to do was, you know, get into
Speaker 1: the networks. Like that's all I wanted. When I retired,
Speaker 1: I had a pseudo agent reach out to Fox, ESPN, NBC, CBS,
Speaker 1: and at that point I had about seven and fifty
Speaker 1: thousand followers on Twitter. I've already done like a comedy tour,
Speaker 1: at a show, at a merch business. I'd kind of
Speaker 1: already done a lot of things, and everybody from the
Speaker 1: networks that we have zero interest. So you know, after that,
Speaker 1: I go to barstool, I stay in Indianapolis because I
Speaker 1: didn't wan to move to New York. I got a
Speaker 1: chance to learn from them about how the internet goes,
Speaker 1: and I kind of break off and do my own thing.
Speaker 1: And it's like, I'm very fortunate, very very fortunate. But
Speaker 1: it all could have been very different if like one
Speaker 1: network would have said, yeah, yeah, we'll put you in
Speaker 1: game six or something like that. So I'm very very
Speaker 1: lucky for the journey, the ride, my boys, and now
Speaker 1: we're getting a chance and maybe enjoy it a little bit,
Speaker 1: but it's all come crashing down with our dumbasses. Whenever
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, like in the world of
Speaker 1: cancel culture, you know, and Aaron and I talked about
Speaker 1: this all the time, when it's like we're very open
Speaker 1: and candid about our lives that it's like, how much
Speaker 1: do you want to say without somebody getting offended? Because
Speaker 1: everyone gets offended nowadays. But it's like we can't authentically
Speaker 1: be ourselves. Do you worry about that? No? I feel
Speaker 1: really comfortable, especially in the world. Everybody knows everything about
Speaker 1: me at this point, basically, you know, I've I've been
Speaker 1: very fortunate that my background has allowed me to experience
Speaker 1: a lot of different people's cultures and viewpoints. So I mean,
Speaker 1: when I went to West Virginia, University out of Plumb
Speaker 1: High School to be a kicker. I got a chance
Speaker 1: to be teammates with guys from Compton, South Florida, and
Speaker 1: then deep in the hills of West Virginia, and then
Speaker 1: like a billionaire son was playing on the team, and
Speaker 1: I happen to get along with basically everybody. So I
Speaker 1: was invited back to cook out some barbecues and things
Speaker 1: like that. So I got a chance to really see
Speaker 1: an experience why a lot of people might feel the
Speaker 1: way they feel about things. So I think I'm naturally
Speaker 1: more okay with people's opinions. So whenever you hear me
Speaker 1: talk about something that's serious or something that's in the
Speaker 1: real world as opposed to just a sports world, you
Speaker 1: almost I've almost been forced to say, I understand why
Speaker 1: you blah blah blah feels the way they feel. But
Speaker 1: in my eyes, this is kind of why it is.
Speaker 1: So I feel like I'm not really scared about anything
Speaker 1: that I say because I'm very comfortable with where it's
Speaker 1: coming from, which is a pretty open, understanding person that
Speaker 1: has got a very very very lucky opportunity to experience
Speaker 1: a lot of things that not a lot of people
Speaker 1: have got to experience, so I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: that's why I go in there. I mean, I'll smoke vitamins,
Speaker 1: you know, every once in a while, I'll go in
Speaker 1: there and I'll just have a good time because I
Speaker 1: know that where it's coming from isn't from a place
Speaker 1: of like if it was to get down to it
Speaker 1: and somebody was to start coming after me for something
Speaker 1: I said. I'm very comfortable with why I say what
Speaker 1: I say, how I feel the way I feel, and uh,
Speaker 1: I feel it hasn't happened, But I'm I'm pretty cool
Speaker 1: with Like, I understand some people aren't gonna like me,
Speaker 1: but at least people will understand why I feel the
Speaker 1: way I feel. Yeah, who's the one person you want
Speaker 1: on to interview that you haven't had yet? Elon must
Speaker 1: really I think he's an alien and if you want,
Speaker 1: if you want it, No, I don't know, Aaron Andrews.
Speaker 1: I assume you and Paris are but best friends with
Speaker 1: Elon musk Okay, But little all me out here, all right,
Speaker 1: little on me out here in Indianapolis, I see a
Speaker 1: human allegedly that has today. By the way, by the way,
Speaker 1: I was asked to do this read on my show
Speaker 1: with Public the Public app, which is a social network
Speaker 1: for investing in stocks and things. People can follow who
Speaker 1: they can follow me as I make my choices for
Speaker 1: who I'm investing in, and it's not an investment advice,
Speaker 1: but you can see who I'm investing in. And I'm
Speaker 1: not a stock market guy. I'm betting on me ten
Speaker 1: times out of ten before I send into anything else
Speaker 1: like that in the world. But I made a rule
Speaker 1: for the public dot com run that I will just
Speaker 1: invest in aliens. So I was invest in Elon Musk. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna invest in h Tesla. I invest in Rogan.
Speaker 1: He's an alien, all right, So I'm gonna invest in
Speaker 1: Spotify and Vince McMahon. There's another alien. I'm gonna invest
Speaker 1: in w w E. So I just think there are
Speaker 1: some humans that are capable of doing ship that nobody
Speaker 1: else is that I'm gonna invest him. But you on
Speaker 1: is the guy at the top that I'd like to
Speaker 1: chit chat about, because what would you ask him? He
Speaker 1: changed the world. I mean, Steve Jobs passed away. I
Speaker 1: got his quotes all over the place, and now, granted
Speaker 1: terrible day, I'm wearing his outfit in memory of him
Speaker 1: or Elizabeth Holmes. We're not sure. You know, it's up
Speaker 1: for debate. Am I working at fair? Nos Am I
Speaker 1: not working at fair? Nos Am I an alien? I
Speaker 1: don't know. We'll get to that later. Might be a
Speaker 1: from Rodeo from the Rodeo to Fox NFL Sunday about
Speaker 1: when I had to how about when I actually said
Speaker 1: on your show, I was like bare back saddle, bronken
Speaker 1: bull writing, and I was like, just pull that quote out,
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be a problem. I'm gonna have to,
Speaker 1: you know, defend you know, our cowboy Hey, we got
Speaker 1: a lot of cowboys listening, so we'll get Our demographic
Speaker 1: is absurd. It's insane. The people that listen to our show.
Speaker 1: The range of people from political standpoints, ages, back browns,
Speaker 1: everything is very big. It's nice to be hopefully a
Speaker 1: spot that people can feel as if rolling this together,
Speaker 1: We're gonna listen to this stooge speak to people or whatever.
Speaker 1: That's the fans field. But Elan is a guy who's
Speaker 1: changed the world, like Steve Steve Jobs, you know, single
Speaker 1: handedly changed the way the entire world operates. I think
Speaker 1: Elon Muski is another guy that has done that. I
Speaker 1: wish I could talk to Steve, but Ellen's probably the
Speaker 1: guy in the sports world. Give me Jerry Jones ten
Speaker 1: times out of ten. Oh my god, I would love
Speaker 1: you to talk to him. We've got to make that happen. Hey, Aaron,
Speaker 1: by the time that this ours airs, I'm sure that
Speaker 1: Good English ours airs. Uh. I'm sure Tom's will be
Speaker 1: out before the compilation. But if it's not, we'll just
Speaker 1: pull this part. But tell how what you guys just did.
Speaker 1: And then, um, the question the Peyton Manning thing I
Speaker 1: think is so interesting. Oh yeah, so I just got asked.
Speaker 1: And before you got on, I told Chris, I wish
Speaker 1: you had been on it because I feel like you
Speaker 1: would have. He would have just gotten a huge kick
Speaker 1: out of you and loved it. I'm gonna tell on
Speaker 1: his podcast, Let's Go. They invited a bunch of broadcasters anchors.
Speaker 1: I got on it, um, and I took a lot.
Speaker 1: I'm in notes. I'm a geek. I take a lot
Speaker 1: of notes. I love this ship. So one thing he said,
Speaker 1: which fuck, I just loved it, and I just died
Speaker 1: for interceptions ruins his night. He could throw for eight touchdowns,
Speaker 1: but just one interception. Ruins his whole night. But what
Speaker 1: was the one thing? And then I'll get to the page.
Speaker 1: It was the bandmitting that he went back and watched games.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, but hold on, I
Speaker 1: love the whole thing. What drives and we're live, okay,
Speaker 1: dead air Hello. Pursuit of perfection, he calls it. What
Speaker 1: drives him still, the pursuit of perfection. It's a sickness.
Speaker 1: He's just he said, it's a little maddening. But um,
Speaker 1: Steve Young came on and that was amazing and he
Speaker 1: talked about how that was his hero and all that.
Speaker 1: But he said he was just so interested in how
Speaker 1: people go about their craft. And he said every year
Speaker 1: at the end of the season he would go back
Speaker 1: and watch every single Indianapolis Colts game and say to himself,
Speaker 1: what Peyton doing that I'm not doing? I just love it.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, isn't it. And then you hear the stories.
Speaker 1: Uh and by the way, let's go also on Serious
Speaker 1: Sextum generally to Mad Dog Sports Radio, I believe, which
Speaker 1: is a company that licensed our show as well, which
Speaker 1: is pretty sweet. I mean, that's a that's a good time.
Speaker 1: Jim Gray, right, Jims that There's been a lot of
Speaker 1: great quotes that have come out of that. Then you
Speaker 1: hear the stories about Tom and Peyton hanging out together,
Speaker 1: just those two together like in Tennessee and then having
Speaker 1: like basically a QB summit of Hey, we're on a
Speaker 1: different level than everybody. Nobody can really talk to us
Speaker 1: except for each other about the ship that we see
Speaker 1: and then becoming like friends behind the scenes is insane.
Speaker 1: I was lucky to watch Peyton work, even though it's
Speaker 1: very very different position in both life and on the
Speaker 1: football field, watching him go about his craft and then
Speaker 1: how he would handle, you know that being a teammate
Speaker 1: while also knowing that he was the GM at the
Speaker 1: same time if you really wanted to cut somebody, and
Speaker 1: then running the practice as a coach, but that would
Speaker 1: also be in a cool guy you want to drink
Speaker 1: a beer with. Watching him kind of handle life. Being
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning was it's much different than what Tom and
Speaker 1: him talk about, but for me it was it has
Speaker 1: done huge for me long haul. Uh. There's there's some
Speaker 1: people that are incredibly impressive that I try to be
Speaker 1: a sponge around, and Peyton was one of them. And
Speaker 1: the fact that he enjoyed how fast I could chug
Speaker 1: a beer. So I got a chance to fly with
Speaker 1: him to certain places. Was obviously awesome. That was obviously
Speaker 1: friends with planes is always awesome. I know that you
Speaker 1: have a lot of stuff to do, so we'll get
Speaker 1: you out of here in one second. But I love
Speaker 1: the story that you're thank you so sweet. The story
Speaker 1: that you told on Monday night football with him and
Speaker 1: Eli about the party that he that Peyton has at
Speaker 1: his house and you went into the bathroom and on
Speaker 1: the napkins, I mean teas and peas him. Tell the
Speaker 1: story again in case anyone missed it. Yeah, teas and peas,
Speaker 1: so always napkins. So there was a Thanksgiving dinner that
Speaker 1: was if people weren't going back home or if they
Speaker 1: didn't have family, lean found and I was young and
Speaker 1: I didn't that family. I was just living in an
Speaker 1: apartment basically. And at that point he had I think
Speaker 1: he'd become a fan of me, potentially off the field,
Speaker 1: which is cool, you know, having a guy that is
Speaker 1: a living legend. Enjoy you. And I got to be
Speaker 1: in some rooms that I should not have been. It,
Speaker 1: I mean, I I got to be I got a
Speaker 1: chance to hang out with Pat Some, Bruce Pearl, Peyton Manning,
Speaker 1: the mayor of Knoxville, the governor of Tennessee, all in
Speaker 1: a suite while watching a volunteer game be Memphis. UM
Speaker 1: was at one versus to Memphis versus Tennessee Derrick Ros
Speaker 1: versus Tennessee. When Bruce Pearl did that to me in
Speaker 1: the interview, No, no, this was a long time. It
Speaker 1: was a football game. But I do appreciate what. I
Speaker 1: don't remember what happened because I I wait, hold on
Speaker 1: what it happened? Aaron real quickly? What did he do
Speaker 1: in versus to uh Memphis Caliparry and Derrick Grows versus volunteers.
Speaker 1: It was in Memphis. I remember Justin was there, and
Speaker 1: they did a job. They did a great job in
Speaker 1: the first half shutting down Derrick Rose. And I got
Speaker 1: Bruce Pearl going off and uh, I just said, hey,
Speaker 1: what have you done to Derrick Rose. He's just he
Speaker 1: hasn't done anything in this game. He goes, we're holding him,
Speaker 1: getting to him kind of like this, and he grabbed me,
Speaker 1: pretending he was guarding me. And I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: And it really for YouTube similar to fifty cents experience
Speaker 1: with Okay, that's saying I couldn't even imagine your guy's life.
Speaker 1: By the way, I couldn't have the time. My reaction
Speaker 1: doesn't help the situation. It wasn't that bad. I just
Speaker 1: wasn't expected to be like him doing it like a
Speaker 1: tutorial on how they're guarding Derrick Rose and holding it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Anyway back to your rooms. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I was about to say, because you also got the
Speaker 1: I mean you've been yelled at on the grandest day.
Speaker 1: I mean, you are we alluding to Richard Sherman. I
Speaker 1: believe we are that. I just when you saw that happen?
Speaker 1: What did you think, pat Well? I just I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: like this is uh, this is real life right now exactly.
Speaker 1: And then I knew I lived on the internet. I knew,
Speaker 1: you know, like as soon as so something like that happens,
Speaker 1: I thought you crushed them as you always. But didn't
Speaker 1: you think like it was awesome to see a guy
Speaker 1: just he clearly didn't like Michael Crabtree just freaking go off.
Speaker 1: I thought it was awesome. Yeah. It's kind of why
Speaker 1: Aaron talks about being able to do the show every Tuesday.
Speaker 1: It's like all the key and stage robotic. And this
Speaker 1: is no offense to you too, because you two are
Speaker 1: networks superstar as you should know, you're not robotic, your
Speaker 1: network superstars. But the networks used to pick and shoot
Speaker 1: what stories are being told, how people are being depicted,
Speaker 1: who's going to be a star, who's not going to
Speaker 1: be a star, what's gonna be said, what's not gonna
Speaker 1: be said? Now it's just completely different old where we
Speaker 1: don't even have to you can just go right to
Speaker 1: the source. And Tom Brady is somebody that very much
Speaker 1: understands that he utilizes his social media better than a
Speaker 1: lot of people that have ever played in sports. You
Speaker 1: look across the NBA, it's obviously a real thing. Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers getting a chance, I mean it is. It's a
Speaker 1: new world. And to be clear, I don't think that
Speaker 1: is because of you know, the fact of how you
Speaker 1: guys go about doing business. I just think it's the
Speaker 1: modern world. At this point, you to your point, you
Speaker 1: get a chance to bring out some of these real
Speaker 1: moments with people because I'll be I'll comfortable everybody is
Speaker 1: with old Aaron Andrews, with Ald it was it was, oh, well,
Speaker 1: it was the there's no d on the end of that. Wait,
Speaker 1: I interrupted your story talking about air No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I ask about because we're gonna talk to him tomorrow
Speaker 1: Wednesday whenever that is Aaron Wednesdays with more Tuesdays with Marie,
Speaker 1: whatever you call it. I want to ask, please, did
Speaker 1: you give him a hard time? Is that the first
Speaker 1: thing on your mind when someone's flicking you off? I
Speaker 1: still own you. I still That's the first thing mine
Speaker 1: would be, like sucking, I still own you. Oh I
Speaker 1: love it. I think um. I think he was probably told.
Speaker 1: I didn't ask him about the whole thing, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean we're talking, We talked about it, we did
Speaker 1: the whole thing, and he said that he kind of
Speaker 1: just blacked out and went into a thing. I assume
Speaker 1: he was told about his stats in this game and
Speaker 1: what the record is, because whenever you talk to us
Speaker 1: about it, he said before far Vy is how he
Speaker 1: gets into it. Before far Vy. The Bears dominated this series,
Speaker 1: and this is a legendary series that goes back like
Speaker 1: a hundred years. It's one of the only real rivalries left.
Speaker 1: So I like the fact that Aaron still cherishes the
Speaker 1: rivalry because that's kind of like years. Yeah, it's kind
Speaker 1: of but it's kind of old school, you know, because
Speaker 1: players are getting signed on Wednesday and Thursday, playing in
Speaker 1: this game on Sunday, and they're like, hey, this is
Speaker 1: a big rivalry game, and a lot of guys are like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get paid from is trying to
Speaker 1: do my job. The fact that Aaron still views that rivalry, yeah,
Speaker 1: and what is passionate is what I loved it personally,
Speaker 1: But I don't know if I'd ever be able to
Speaker 1: say it to anybody or anything except for maybe No.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even say it to my dogs because they
Speaker 1: owned mee us. So I'm just happy I'm not in
Speaker 1: a situation where I would ever have to say that.
Speaker 1: Speaking of your pups one more time, can you let
Speaker 1: us know what Sam's charity is so we can make
Speaker 1: sure that we participate and plug that for the brand
