Aaron Rodgers Responds To Jimmy Kimmel & ESPN, Wants To Play 2-3 Years with Jets

for Four Seasons Four Four Seasons now yeah we've had the incredible opportunity to have a conversation with this man every single Tuesday of the season the first two years we did this back-to-back MVPs those happen to be during the co years where there's a lot of other stuff happening as well due to this guy's decisions on whether or not taking a uh a vaccine yeah had a clever immunized joke at a press conference fantastic kind of snuck one through the five hole there got then that came back later it got real loud all over the world quickly then there was obviously the Green Bay Packer transition era that happened what I've learned is everything this guy does is monitored watched loved or hated yes last week got real loud it did last night there was a seven-minute rebuttal yeah from the person who we can understand why he was completely upset ladies and gentlemen four time NFL MVP friend of the program host of Aaron Rogers Tuesday ladies and gentlemen Super Bowl champion first ballot Hall of Famer Aaron Rogers how you doing pal Aaron Rogers Tuesdays have certainly caused some conversation Haven yes yes conversation controversy uh debate sometimes book club book club yeah a lot of lot of inter things have come from this show well lot of people that uh love the show a lot of people love the show a lot of people people that uh want to censor the show whoa at least my segments I've heard a lot I heard I've heard a lot about that there's been a lot of articles about calling me Reckless and now this goes back to co by the way I was being called a murderer alongside of you because I was allowing Aaron Rogers first ballot Hall of Famer the current MVP of the NFL I was allowing you on my platform you know don't even let him on your plat you don't think Aaron Rogers has a platform okay got it okay so I was letting you on my platform and it was injuring people and scaring people potentially killing people that was during Co I was getting murdered in different languages H I mean it was it was a wild time as were you obviously but I just got a chance to kind of experience it that whole conversation came back up now once again over the last week you've obviously seen it all heard it all uh you said yesterday at your press conference with the New York Jets where you said I will be addressing that tomorrow Jimmy Kimmel obviously had a 7 minute and 32 second uh die tribe last evening to start the show kind of explaining his side of the entire thing a lot of people said they were expect more jokes in there yeah little a little B more jokes seemed like it was a little bit more of like he was super bombed dot just kind of wanted to get it out there uh Aaron I think this is the perfect time for you to kind of address your side of this you've been threatened to be sued MH you've obviously been talked about by a lot of people yet again and I'm sure sure you have thoughts on it the mustache looks great uh go ahead and take it away pal and I want to let you know I will check you okay damn right I will check you okay on anything you say that I know isn't true now there's going to be a lot of stuff you say that I'm on her just let me know if I'm not if I should check please with what you're talking you have more research than me anyways Aron Rogers ladies and gentlemen well the yeah the reseearch that's a whole another story I mean why would you do any research on anything ever look into anything listen I think we should just get into it though just so we can have the uh the woke establishment who's just tuned in for uh you know this this part let's just get this uh out of the way first then they can move on with the rest of the day and we can all move past this um it's been an interesting week for sure very interesting week a lot of uh things have been said a lot of people have been taking shots of me without mentioning the VAC status for first which I thought we established with Ryan Fitzpatrick that was how we're going to do things moving forward we haven't done that obviously so jck y Nick right did I heard Nick right yeah listen Jokes Aside I'd really like to get into this and then just let's just move on so the history of this before I get into what I said what I actually said and how I feel about uh all that the history of this whatever this is between Jimmy and I this goes back to covid times right and in Co times he mentioned on his show uh jokes about my uh immunization which I know you you also made a little joke about it um you know I'm not going to get into that whole thing that's I've talked many times about that but made a joke about that uh you know uh and the fact that you know my own research he didn't just stop there though you know he he made a lot of other comments about uh unvaccinated people uh mentioning that they don't deserve treatment uh if they're at a hospital uh they shouldn't be given a hospital bed uh he made comments about uh repurpose drugs that were being used all over the world that have incredible safety profiles um that uh that were derogatory uh he uh you know mentioned uh iveron being horse based and pushed that whole narrative for a long time he gave a platform to one of the biggest uh spreaders of misinformation during the covid times Dr fouchy um so in my opinion jeez you know he RI me about RI me about the vax and and that turns out to be an L on on many occasions because the vax was not safe and effective like we were told that it was in the beginning uh there are a lot of injuries now that we've seen related to the vaccine so in my opinion you went after me that's fine you're a comedian go for it not offended but that was hell fast forward to uh again unprompted we're talking on our show as we do about a lot of different topics somehow the Epstein client lifts comes up and I said it's interesting and there were for a long time even still there hasn't been a list that's been released there's been one person's uh you know uh deposition from a 2015 case right but we said there's there's an excitement to expose corruption and what I joked about the other day about popping a bottle there's excitement about when the corruption anywhere gets exposed and people who are accused of these heinous crimes get exposed that will be nice that we can get this all out in the open that's not there so I made this comment on the show whenever that was last year right I believe and unprompted he comes out and says that I'm an overly concussed wacko in my opinion that seemed like because I believe that there was a list and that there were names on that right so you know then we we fast forward to this last week right and I said that a lot of people and I'm quoting myself here a lot of people including Jimmy Kimmel are really hoping that doesn't come out end quote that's what I said that's the entire quote okay I was referring to the fact that if there is a list which again this hasn't come out yet this was just a deposition right and there are names on it then that would be the second time that a soft brain junior college student you know wacko antix anti-semite purveyor spreader of misinformation conspiracy theorists Maga whatever other things have been said by him and other people in the media would be right twice now let me just say that that that is the truth number one number two I totally understand how serious an allegation of pedophilia would be so for him to be upset about that I get it did you watch the quote because that's exactly what I said Verbatim what I said on the show okay I'm not stupid enough even though you think I'm an idiot and you made a lot of comments about my intelligence but I'm not stupid enough to accuse you of that with absolutely zero evidence uh concrete evidence that's ridiculous so I'm glad and I think we can agree on something is that uh one those crimes are heinous and two I'm I'm glad you're not on the list because those those who are on the list and this is what I think we can agree on that at minimum there should be an inquiry into uh their involvement especially if they went to the island and in Max there should be um an investigation into it so I hope that you'll give the same type of energy to these heinous crimes when they do come out and the names do come out and and there is an inquiry into it that you gave to uh other subjects that I actually mentioned uh that you spend a lot of time working on so I'd like to put this uh to bed to move forward I don't understand to just finish this up you know I do understand um don't I but I don't understand a Mike Voss comment um because he didn't help out either and I'm going to quote Mike Foss he said Aaron made a dumb and factually incorrect joke about Jimmy Kimmel it should never have happened we all realized that in the moment Mike you're not helping you're not helping because I just read earlier exactly what I said so and this is this is the game plan of the media and this is what they do they try and cancel you know and it's not just me it's it's nowhere near just me I mean if you look at all the different people who've been uh censored from the internet during especially during covid um the cancelling that went on the censorship using the government to try and censor people that happened um and if that doesn't work then they go to name call and I mentioned a lot of the the names that I've been called and they don't stick because I'm not antix I'm interested in uh informed consent and things that are in the best interest of my body uh I'm not a Maga I've never had any affiliation with anybody associated with that movement right which is okay if you are though like there's different opinions all over the place right if you're if you're that's your ideology that's fine I'm not a super political person okay do whatever you want uh conspiracy theorist that's fine because if you look at the track record of conspiracy theorist in the last few years they've been right about a lot of things so I don't care about that one antii that was called I mean that that's just like this is their game plan they use these words to can can people and they went and ran with this because it's the crazy antivaxer wacko again talking about you know accusing somebody being a pedophile like of course this is the game plan they use incorrect but um that's the that's the the environment that we're in you know we're there's u a lot of people who have been captured by various you know entities government entities whether we're talking about pharmaceutical industrial complex or whether it's talking about beling that the government has a b interest in mind and we're puppeting um you know various narratives in the end if you are not someone whose opinion aligns with the mainstream narrative this is what they're going to do with you and it's not me I'm not a victim I don't give a [ __ ] say whatever the hell you want about me that's fine like the people that know me and love me you know what I'm all about my teammates know what I'm all about um I don't have most inspiring teammate by the way congratulations want an award in the middle of this whole thing from your teammates REM people puked because of that yeah yeah saw guy cry listen saw a guy cry because you were name the most inspiration teammate should we say that was not like Jo tears of joy I I still in the end sum this up listen I still haven't popped a bottle because there hasn't been any list that's come out um and I'm glad that that Jimmy uh is not on the list I really am and and uh I don't think he's the p um and you know I think it's impressive that a man who went to uh Arizona State and has 10 uh joke writers can read off a prompter so you know my education at Joo and my three semesters at Cal that I'm very proud of uh has worked out for me and I'm glad to see it's worked out for him as well so I wish him the best again I I don't give a [ __ ] what he says about me um but as long as he understands what actually said and that I'm not accusing him of being being on a list and I'm all from moving forward all right thank you for your time there thank you for addressing it hell yeah there's a few things that I'm going to have to uh check you on in there okay as you're going through as you're going through there I was making a checklist for the CNBC folks you know the whole the whole crew you said that uh Anthony fi was the biggest SP missing information I remember he was thrown out opening pitches terribly worst of all time you know and he was the guy he was the one giving the information and then you said that's proven to be wrong I assume you're referring to some studies or something that you have found and obviously you've invested a lot of time in because you've been called a murderer a killer for not getting the vaccine I assume you've paid close attention if you would like to expand upon that particular statement that you made early in your response there uh I think that' be good for all wants me I don't know if yeah this what I'm supposed to right a I supposed to yes this is journalism let me indulge let me indulge you first of all there are dozens of studies that talk about uh that have done by reputable uh uh places that have been published in reputable journals um that talk about a variety of different subjects including the efficacy of masking uh efficacy of lockdowns efficacy of a number of different medicines uh uh repurpose medicines uh antiviral antimalarial medicines stuff that was used all over the world um in order for the vaccines to get emergency authorization Emer the use authorization right the eua um this is what people don't understand it had to be that there were zero early treatments that worked against covid right so what did Dr fouchi say there was nothing there was nothing they could do all they did this is this is this is the protocol protocol somebody gets sick right send them home till they got really horrible horrible symptoms and then bring them back and put them on REM Des air which is $3,000 per dose and a ventilator and the the statistics are staggering about people who went especially on ventilators especially the the elderly and it's it's devastating and and extremely sad I remember I remember those times people weren't allowed to go into the hospital and see their family right I mean I was at the and I know it's I know it's crazy and this is maybe an old way of doing things but uh I enjoy reading and when I'm reading something I'm not I may be delivering a message but I'm not delivering as my own I didn't come up with any of these facts you know I didn't I wasn't in the weeds I'm not a epidemiologist a vir virologist I'm not any of those things I'm just someone who's interested in certain topics I like to read and then I take other people's ideas and opinions and contemplate them and think about whether they're true or not what feels true to me and then I'll make my own beliefs off of that I know it's a weird way of thinking and the the idea of even like doing your own research was vilified for a while which is crazy but I enjoy reading I I I read studies about this I've read books I think Robert F Kennedy Jr's book about fouchy is incredible it's also uh doesn't paint him in the right light I haven't seen Dr fouchy file a lawsuit yet I I know RFK Jr personally I know he researched and made sure that the you know his comments and studies were uh peer-reviewed by a number of different people so that you don't get sued um but it doesn't paint him in the best light and yes I believe that he had a financial incentive to not push icin and hcq and monoclonal antibodies and zinc and vitamin d and vitamin C all stuff that was used all over the world I'm talking about in Japan in Brazil in Mexico in udes India a state that has 230 million people and at one point had less than like 10 covid cases active when we were having thousands every single day like look at Africa the continent of Africa had very low numbers and many people think that Africa there's parts of their very third world right but what do they do every single most of them the part of their routine is to take antimalaria drugs and when you get in a pandemic this is again all I've read I'm not a biologist I I'm not a doctor right in in the sense but I I am interested and I've read these things and they take a lot of anti-ar malaria drugs over there because malaria is a problem in Africa and anti-malaria drugs repurposed in the repurposed nature of them have been seen to stop V replication and actually do well against covid but if that were the case then these billion- dooll vaccines one of which in particular Dr fouchy had a significant financial stake in wouldn't have been cleared for eua and they would have been able to be pushed out they would have to go through the normal process of vaccines which is multi-year studies okay of efficacy of the develop a safety profile that didn't happen so that's my problem I don't know why more people aren't upset with that everybody who lost people to covid uh everybody who dealt with the Draconian uh measures and and then that's my last point then I just want to [ __ ] move on but it's like people are always like people are always like you know why are you still talking about covid like why don't you just move on it's ridiculous I'm like well let's see what happened um they locked everybody up forever uh was supposed to be a couple couple weeks right they locked everybody up hundreds of thousands of businesses closed and never opened again many of dozens of people that I know in their 30s you know who poured everything into these these uh small businesses and restaurants and bars and and and never opened again so they lost everything they they're out in their ass right the Gap the wealth Gap got got even bigger from the halves and Have Nots they lied to us over and over they uh vilified early treatments they censored legitimate uh uh doctors in the space like Dr Peter McCulla like Pierre Cory Dr Cy like Dr Robert Malone who allegedly was there in the beginning of the MRNA technology and so many more people than that uh the Alex Baron of the world the Weinstein of the world who were like writing about this talking about this Weinstein okay yeah I say I knew I was about to check you and had informed and had an informed opinion about this I mean they were arresting people who were surfing in California they closed the beaches when 80 I mean I don't know what percentage but probably 60% or more of the of the of the country is vitamin D deficient and you know vitamin D you know does well against the common cold as does vitamin C as does zinc why as there the number of home remedies that we all have but no stay inside wait for this vaccine which is 100% safe and effective which they told us so my whole point is listen they lied to us uh many times over they uh locked us up they uh closed our businesses they increased the mental health issues exponentially the uh the rates of suicide went way up and and they just like they vilified us the the Draconian things that uh you know ridiculous shut down you know we lost billions of dollars not there's no there's no NL owners who are mad about this now that we look back and go oh well maybe we could have stopped this with a little like early treatments or like not giving REM dese and uh you know ventilator to these patients maybe like uh you know treat like the common cold where you you know you have symptoms and you start doing something about it you treat it um and I have a problem I have a problem with that because now people just like there more one just just just rushing on the rug it's like well I has many apologies not by that guy in ABC and not by you know any of these people who are still you know I mean the LA County we just put uh mask mandates back in oh buddy I mean how many how many how many Studies have we seen now from all over the world that show the lack of efficacy of masks hey real quick what are we talking about real quick you're us of efficacy today has really showcased your intelligence I want to let you know that you've used it in a phenomenal fashion I assume you did it because you have become the Paragon of conspiracy theories from all these people and I feel like you know my my intelligence has been has been attacked and I might need to grab my you know my uh my transcript uh that I used to get into junior college you know well you had two A's on that your name and I thought that was pretty clever actually I I will and I did check you there uh which obviously seems like you have a little bit more research than maybe any other human that exists outside of the potential doctors were there there's there's way more way more people are well read and I read their stuff but one of my favorite things one of my favorite things and I'll end with this and I promise I don't want no no there's one more thing I have to okay well then let me get this in like people are always like you're not a doctor you're not a virologist you're not an epidemiologist I'm like I'm not but you know what all those people would say natural infection and Recovery gives you way more robust long lasting lasting sometimes for Life immune response than any vaccine will ever give you all right well I appreciate the bars there at the end from the virologists and the doctors I thought you were going to say neither are you the people that are telling you that you're wrong that's always a fun little give take and I assume there's going to be a lot of reaction to what you just said there drop the word Draconian in there a few times that felt like it was big I assume people are going to respond to that honestly fact check it I'm fine let's have a debate you want to have a debate about it awesome not on this show but like let's have a conversation there should be more conversations why are we just moving on from all this stuff when like can we look back now and and learn from this so that next time there's a situation like this we can go okay maybe there's early treatments at work maybe we don't just run a vaccine through that isn't safe and effective and then how many boosters I just saw they're encouraging the elderly to get an eighth booster like Howard Stern got Co too Howard Stern got it didn't it didn't stop transmission at all it didn't stop you from getting Co like all right well I appreciate your stance especially because back check me one more time and then let's then let's move on all right sounds good then we got football to talk about because there's a lot of things happened Rael just got fired and vel's pumped that we just brought that up in the middle of this conversation but like uh the way the reason why you feel the way you feel is because everything that you've been through through this entire thing you were chastised pretty heavily which I assume made you invest a lot more time in it to kind of not only clear your name but feel a little bit sense of self uh whenever everybody was telling you the worst human on earth and there's going to be people that disagree with you and I think this conversation in this show is actually great go ahead I was vilified my my I my character was attacked my reputation was attacked my sponsors were attacked I had I received death threats so yeah I mean this why does it mean a lot to me because I went through that and and uh and survived the winter of death so continue well congratulations AJ is also a CO Survivor on the other side of the screen there which we incredibly proud of him I believe I survived a few times as well uh when it comes to Jimmy Kimmel and you read your quote and I think in the moment I even explained like hey Jimmy did this did that it immediately got taken by everybody seemingly and now once again you are a human that goes off the grid in 2024 I don't think a lot of people really understand that you actually went into a dark hole for four days I mean that is something that happens he does just read books and is impossible to get a hold of you can ask some people so the the way that whole thing went with you saying like jimmmy Kimmo doesn't want to see that list and I think people that maybe have watched the show a lot recalled the moment between you and kimm whenever he said like okay buddy and then you saying you want to see it was insinuated though that you called him a pedophile by everybody quickly so I think you could and you've acknowledged this like Jimmy Kimmel has been called a pedophile I think by a lot of people because his name has been on one of those list on the internet for a long time so I think you stoking the flame a little bit there made the entire World continue to turn up on him I think that's why he got so bummed out by it all and that sucks and and I condemn that 100% like that's ridiculous like any type of name calling that's ridiculous and I'm not calling him one and neither should you so it's not backing me up or making me feel good if you're doing that let me make that Crystal Clear I don't take any [ __ ] you know excitement or joy out of anybody doing that so so don't do that in my name don't do that at all like those are serious accusations meant for people who are on the list and again there was some names that came out recently from a deposition from 2005 but there's still flight logs there still a lot of other things that are going to come out and this corruption goes deep I believe and most people that probably looked at it believe that it goes deep but I'm not calling him one no one should don't do it in my name like that's not cool I'm not about that and uh and I have no you know no love for anybody doing any of that [ __ ] all right Jimmy come on get in here team on me come on Aaron oh here we go hey we're moving on I do believe Aaron that everything you do in your mind you feel is has the best intentions from your truth and from what you've experienced and from your research every once in a while when we're in here talking some things can be taken sideways out of context start narratives and stories that none of us necessarily love or believe in thank you for clearing it up and Jimmy hey man pumped that you're not on that list yeah pumped about it cuz obviously we've all been Jimmy Kimmel fans since way back way back team on three one two three team you're not a fan of them you like the white yeah that's the problem that's the problem you were talking in the Huddle there you know the I didn't on the outside I was that guy sorry yeah we heard you sorry but why don't you like uh anyways let's move along I'm to hear if this is over now and uh we move along cuz it was on today's show this morning MH nice like uh today's show was like Aaron's gonna answer this afternoon stay tuned like all right great to be a part of this many those people actually watched the clip and how many how many people just saw a headline I really I don't think Mike fos watched the clip I don't know who that is I don't I don't work for you Mike I think you told I think I I don't know if maybe part of quote did you not like Aon which part of it did you not enjoy AJ a made a dumb and factually incorrect joke you thought it was a pretty smart good one I mean I feel like I made a statement uh about you know not want to be on a you know list to come out but it was a call back call back you thought to February we all realized that in the moment what did you what are you talking about let just let's move on man come on all right we would like to let you know excited for you to meet Foss in person someday to Pumped Foss right now is sitting on an airplane watching this just oh my God took all his clothes off oh my god oh he's sweating I assume yeah you wait till you be F this all make a lot more sense what you be Foss I think but uh I'm happy we're moving on let's talk about sports now Aaron this past weekend New England Patriots obviously in the middle of a snowstorm you're playing there a lot of the pictures that come out from that game and the conversation is obviously is just bill bich last time coaching the New England Patriots had a sweet ski mask going so cool only saw his eyes saw the hoodie up over top there was photos that were taking place of you guys chatting before the game started for like 20 minutes and after the game he beines to who Aaron Rogers hug Embrace and then he goes right to the locker room you had the other way now the whole world is wondering what's going to take place in New England obviously there's been mixed reports now vel's been fired from the Tennessee Titans Conor's celebrating him coming back to New England if Bill was to leave what were you guys chatting about and how long have you and Bill kind of been close in tighten this entire thing I think I first met bill at uh the Pebble Beach pram uh over a decade ago probably in the the it was either 2010 or 11 and I always had great respect for him uh and he said some really nice things that day I didn't honestly think he knew much about me but um and then didn't get to play him in 2010 uh played him in 2014 uh had some you know a nice moment uh after the game with him and same thing in 18 and 22 we always kind of found each other at some point so I was bummed out not to be playing uh bummed out you know that this could be the last time uh he's in New England but none of that came up we actually talked about a Snow Game in uh uh 2019 in at MetLife when the Packers played the Giants um and you know I just think it'd be so fun to have a glass of Scots with Bill and talk ball because his uh knowledge of the game his uh ability to recall things you know he was recalling these two specific plays that we had from the game and obviously I can I can do that I made those plays but Bill was on the sidelines and he's you know talking about these plays he saw in film and different things and um I don't know it's just I love his knowledge of the game I have a ton of respect for him um I don't think he's done I don't know if he's going to you know move on or the third time has done there in in uh New England but I think the NFL is better with him in it and uh I'm thankful for all the little moments I've got to share with Bill over the years and and just tell him you know how much I respect him and uh and believe what a great impact he's made on the game how come everybody that plays football is around football feels the same way about Bill belich and then you'll hear like some median fans members say the complete opposite like why do you think football people and it's kind of similar with you like basically every player not just in the NFL but most professional athletes are like yes Baron Rogers is the guy so like your perception Maybe by some media members and by some fans is normally vastly different from every professional athlete in every football player why do you think the same thing is for bill bich because I'll say for me for how long he was dominant and how much he's committed to the game it's impossible not to respect that but you as a guy first ballot Hall of Famer why does everybody like it that's in your level feel the same way about Bill bellich I think because you realize how difficult it is to have sustained success in the league and that if anybody's ever played against him especially on the offensive side of the ball you know what uh a great strategist he is and how you know we were talking about the 2014 game right pregame and we were laughing because their strategy was so incredible I never kind of seen a defense be able to do that and adjust where you put your number one corner on a number one receiver put your number two Corner in a safety or sorry sorry you put your number two Corner in the safety on on our number one you put your number two uh on uh your number one corner on our number two and then you put your number three on a number three right and then he's like man this guy from Fresno State has this crazy Breakout game just his recall that was you know nine and a half years ago nine and three qu years ago he's talking about what Damonte Adams was doing and the plays that he caught and the fact that they had adjust and different things and I'd never seen a guy be able to do that but you know once you play a long time in this league that these games are one between Monday and Saturday right Sunday is just the icing on the cake that's the time you play and go ex which you've been working on but but true the true Masters can win Monday to Saturday and and he's one of those guys who he's found little advantages uh over the years that have uh uh he's been able to utilize he can adjust on the Fly he can adjust in the first Quarters at halftime third quarter and uh he's just a he's been a savant ahead of the ahead of the game for so long that uh I think everybody who's played a long time just has a ton of respect for him everybody that plays for him too says his personality is fantastic doesn't get talked about as much because of what he does to the press conferences and the media and then he comes on game day and he puts a helmet on so it was like I love this guy how many games he away from breaking the oldtime record uh 15 wins away so they're saying he's going to go get that obviously will it be with New England we shall see you brought up a big a good point there about Fresno State a legend ton has a question for you yeah and you brought up Devonte uh I saw this week Garrett Wilson is switching from 17 to his college number of five a lot of people are speculating that's because Devon is coming to the Jets can you confirm that oo we're going to check you too if you're wrong breaking I can confirm you dropped that microphone last night and tried to play it off swing I got [ __ ] I will say though you you I you really tried to play it off cool and you would have got there if it hadn't been for one of your cohorts there whoa dropped Dr he was so excited I was not excited I was shook to my core I didn't think that that was even a possibility that's our thing tone yeah it is we were practicing walking up the side mistakes happen am I human or am I not well we don't know well let's not bring that up we've already done not don't get into it we don't need to hear it I don't have enough information at this point um but the Devonte Adams conversation to the Jets is obviously a big one since you got there but now Devonte Adams has become one of the pillars of the Raiders alongside Max Crosby and what they have cooking with Antonio Pierce who we assume will remain the entire role with what the team was last year and what we got to witness the team be without you there they assume people are G to the Jets are going to make moves to kind of up that team if we do want to go all in Devon's name is always floated I assume that you've always just been like if you guys could get Devonte I would love to have Devonte but how much of those conversations are actually taking place uh especially around now none right now absolutely none uh um there's a lot of time I think first part is to like let the emotion get out of it and get away everybody involved from Woody and Christopher to to Joe to Robert to all the players you know just kind of like let the emotion out of it uh you know and and uh get away from it but yeah obviously creating a championship team is is uh is the goal for Joe and obviously that's what he wants and um me coming back is obviously a big part of that but you need you need the players around you Devonte is a fantastic player he also plays for the Raiders so it's not a lot I can say there other than he's a dear dear friend and homie and uh if I do end up making out to Vegas uh I want to see that golf game because he's been working hard and I think that's one of the things he loves about being in Vegas besides uh AP and Max and some of the the guys he really likes over there U Josh Jacobs uh he loves the fact he can play golf whenever he wants and that dude is obsessive about it and he didn't embarrass himself at Tahoe and now he wants he wants top 50 so um hopefully I can get out there and and see him love me some uh love me some Devonte uh JB's been talking about going to five the entire time so uh it's a nice uh coincidence and as much as I believe there's not many coincidences in life uh um this one at this point is merely what's that mean coincidence what do you mean what do you mean no coincidence someone's controlling you what you're being controlled right Matrix simulation fouchy is that what's happened no I'm I'm not being controlled obviously which doesn't doesn't make a lot of people happy Poss well it does make some conversations interesting sure you ever get exhausted you ever get tired fighting all these fights I don't feel like I'm I mean I don't feel like I'm fighting these fights I think it's the same it's just it's a it's a Playbook right and the Playbook is here we go thanks a censor silence name call and it's the same people if you look at the whether the their profile on X or just uh their you know Social Media stuff is it's uh it's the same type of person right that probably has been jabbed multiple times might be wearing a mask while they're driving um I will say there's a lot of bums out there a lot of bums yep a lot of bums this is about the time last week too just want we're trying to you know we're in here just kind of wheel de make it their mission they make it their mission to uh to try and take me down but hadn't worked yet I don't like I don't lose sleep over this I'm not like up at night like thinking like oh [ __ ] what am I going to what am I going to do like these people don't like me like I wouldn't ask these people for advice so I don't really care what they think about me um I'm not uh not trying to make friends they showed most of them showed their true colors during Co um by turn on me slander on me um all those different things they did haven't seen any retraction any apology as the vaccines get less and less effective on blah blah blah blah blah I've talked about all this [ __ ] over and over and over yeah thank you AJ but uh you know this is the this is the the media many of them are just a blip on the radar of the history of the NFL they probably intrinsically know that and know that uh there's not much that they say or do that's ever going to matter when they write the history of of the NFL and unless they say something you know inflammatory about me nobody's really watching their shows anyway so and that's the other part of is the people are insanely jealous of this show um because you guys have changed the way that they do they do media and that's why there's the Nores of the world and the slanderers of the world um who well and this is me talking this is yeah we know nobody nobody wants to be nobody's clamoring to be on those other shows it's just the truth nobody's clamoring to be on the other shows you know the other shows don't have they can't go first F of Hall of Famer first F Hall of Famer greatest coach greatest college coach of all time in on back to back to back days they just can't you know know they're celebrating where they can get somebody who goes on one of those shows to like pitch something uh you know they're that they're working on this show gets the best of the best and it does a different way with positivity not just one person attacking one side and one person attacking the other side let's go back and forth and say some the craziest [ __ ] ever and and listen I respect the opinions of of actually some of those people on some of those shows uh you know two of those people who are on your network actually kind of respect you know some of the stuff they do and there was a recent interview that kind of reinforced that as well but this is the new this is the new way a lot of people are trying to do it and obviously they're jealous of it the old the old the old guard is uh not having it so they want to slander you because you're giving me this dangerous spreader of misinformation a platform on your show um so I hope you guys don't take it personally I hope the upper UPS know that this is uh that people actually like like have a little more affinity for ESPN now because the Pat McAfee show is on and because of you boys and everybody that works on the show because uh uh if it's gone we're all gone well the people who are over here watching this show they're going to be [ __ ] watching it back on three three you snuck a couple through earlier Fouch is going to apologize all right AJ Aon thank you for your kind words all right I don't think so don't hold your breath well I don't remember that used to be a thing to find out if you had covered or not remember hold your breath oh yeah 10 seconds funny you say that that's good hey it's a good check good research right there Aaron thank you for everything you said and I assumed at some point you were going to feel obligated to go to bat for us because that's literally how you did I don't feel obligated it's it's the opportunity it's an opportunity uh because obviously I know you guys personally and been on the show for a number of years now uh part of that was uh Co MVP years which I'm thankful for the platform to to do this because we had some crazy conversations obviously we had a ton of people when I uh you know made my decision that top 10 stream in the history of the Internet by the way that particular thing and people you know there's some there's some jealousy in the world that's ugly um but I'm thankful for you guys and I hope you guys are laughing as I do when all the well critics are are taking these shots at you at me AJ for not saying anything well he says a lot that's the thing that anytime somebody says what does this guy do it's like you're not paying attention just watch yeah listen I mean listen to him last 10 minutes you just so if we could go back to the first 10 minutes of this conversation that we said we weren't going to continue to do AJ one of my favorite things is going back and looking to see who's who's cutting the clips is that uh gumps who's cutting the clips for is that guess Gumpy I can't wait to see what Gumpy cut for this because well hey so Gumpy that's like a lot of pressure he's currently sitting in for zitto and hey Z baby hey baby baby congrats Zoo uh gumpy's the one con hell yeah he's going to love hearing that um gumpy's the one that has to watch a clip in real time and be like do we have to add context to this we uh do we what do we what do we what do we do here did not put the Friday one out that was on internet the other people did hear that though uh for yours last week there's been a couple maybe that have kind of gone but boy when other people yeah that's when the internet starts doing its thing cuz you set the tone with with the words you know like I think I saw Elon mus said that video views are up like 100x or something like that and he's going to say that right now as he's trying to build up his company back to being worth something but a lot of those videos if they're longer than 15 seconds people aren't watching that entire thing they're banking on whatever is being said in the Tweet or in the post it's got to be it's got to be as inflammatory as possible that's what espn.com has done forever you had eight words to to do a headline just them just espn.com well no I mean that's what I'm saying like ESPN is the sports leader like there's no nobody's watching really watching shows on on other networks like it's it's ESPN well we found that out when something very terrible was said right in the middle of one of those episodes and then just the next day show was still good nobody said a single thing no one cared it's like well there's nobody watching that show apparently the man but it's the truth they're watching it they're watching on this network you imagine if we did that are me right now could you imagine good god oh anyways we appreciate your compliments you're the man let's get back to some sports talk here Ty has a question ah come on well we only have one minute anyways till hard out so if Ty was to ask you the question we get cut off in the middle of it yeah eron I'll just say you were right obviously shouldn't have been worried about the Packers at all they do what they do they beat the Bears um I believe there was a report though that said you either texted Jordan love before the game or after that uh the game just curious how impressed are you with his maturation and just like how incredible he's looked down the stretch here with the youngest offense in the NFL cuz I I tell you what I am I'm having a good week so far well where's all the criticism it's a little quiet oh little bit quiet isn't it a lot of [ __ ] talking was going on a little quiet now um so I don't know if he used any of that for motivation it's always fun to quiet those people though uh proud of him you know he's he uh he's a great kid and he's had a nice season and uh a lot of people were piling on at six and eight weren't they oh yeah maybe even you too Ty may even you too not him defense for sure I I've been saying for quite some time please I had my sights on Joe Barry Jordan is what Ty just said please but he's back he is okay all right all right touche touche um back checked Bo got gotcha got gotcha gotcha gotcha yeah I text him I text him before the game I think that's uh 10 in a row now yep so um the thing uh you know I'm a little disappointed about I thought that based on tiebreakers Packers win would mean bears are third in the division which means the nyj comes out to Soldier Field so we're going to US Bank instead um but uh but yeah I mean that was uh that was pretty master class performance by Jordan Le had only what six or seven in completion five or six in completion yeah jeez yeah he played uh he played great took care of the football made made a lot of plays um and uh now they're in the playoffs there's some great story lines in the playoffs aren't there you know with Matt going back to Detroit and oh yeah and Green Bay going against uh big mike in Dallas um what else do we got as far as those kind of things go there's some other things well Jimmy Kimmel Aaron Rogers yeah they're playing that one's pretty good ones going on Monday night yeah the Monday night thing though I don't know if I'm a big fan of that what's that I get it for for Ratings but having a Monday night game and then having that team to turn around unless they're guaranteed to play on Sunday that seems like maybe a slightly disadvantage I don't know if they can give him Saturday after Monday night I would assume they're not last year was bucks Cowboys and they played on uh Sunday the Cowboys did after they beat the I would assume that they're not allowed to give him Saturday you would you would assume or hope so at least the NFL something right but there is hey super Wild Card Weekend Aaron super Wild Card Weekend has been phenomenal it's just like perfect lineup each day if one of the games gets bad obviously that kind of gets a absurd but like think about Joey flacko back in this entire thing there's a lot of great stories a to your point yeah I mean keep that up there like CJ stra the season that he's had is phenomenal Joe coming from the couch to Leading this team that's kind of a pick them who's a favorite in that one oh it is Browns are favorite in that one uh you got Miami and the struggles that they've had against Kansas City has been up and down they arested most of the guys last week you have Mason Rudolph coming off the bench to win what three straight there against Josh and they've won five straights you know and and they look amazing uh you get two two teams that kind of been struggling a little bit at least the last couple weeks in Tampa and Philly um who are you know veteran Laden teams guys who won a lot of football uh see it's fun I mean it' be exciting exciting to see what happens you got the two best teams in the league waiting for one of the low seeds but there's a lot of uh there a lot of games that might not be as uh far apart as some of these spreads it seems like uh especially that bottom left I think is going to be a really game yeah seven and a half more than a ton not a lot of respect it big Big M Jerry world has been a real problem I know you've gone in there and had some success and also you've been in there where Great Performances have been done at halftime obviously with Baldhead baby looking adults flying around we we all can remember that entire thing um old stadium old stadium that was the old stadium I think that was the old stadium oh you're old bro think about that yeah still playing a long time speaking of that speaking of you being old Connor has a question for you yeah Aaron and uh what kind of seword would I be if I didn't also bring up you know if if you haven't heard the Cat Williams interview and I think you were referencing that earlier uh Ice Cube also came out right after it did a nice 9 minute video just to sum it up Ice Cube was basically just like yeah yeah it's [ __ ] true uh but aside from the point well ludicrous responded with aition bars yeah ludicrous Dro bars uh you have to respect the bars but Ice Cube also you know you got to also respect what Ice Cube says and I'm not going against Ice Cube I'm just going to put that out there well there's like 40 other people too that from that particular one and by the way I was the Cat Williams generation oh Big Time reader too Cat Williams 3,000 books a year he said as like a seveny old yeah very smart person it's pretty good has a Will Chamberlain numbers very smart person but you know when you're saying stuff to Aaron's Point sometimes he gets disheveled uh you had a press conference yesterday Aaron and you know you talked about how coming into this year it was awesome you weren't sure how long it was going to be and then you you you know fell in love with the team and the place and everything and then you kind of knew it was going to be a multi-year thing and then you said again yesterday you know you got to kind of come back and reprove yourself is this kind of are we about to enter into Scorch Earth Aaron Rogers because it does feel like that and as a Patriots fan it makes me extremely nervous uh and also is this going to be you know a two-year thing for sure CU because from what it seems like especially from hearing your talk which has been incredible All Season by the way and all those people who are sending your death threats again bunker mentality [ __ ] them all [ __ ] them all but uh aside The Point again Jets how are we feeling going into uh next season is the rehab kind of you know going to slow down because you have more time now uh and last thing I got a mustache comb it has changed my [ __ ] life so think about grabbing one it just feels great when you run it through the stash just so you know that's a lot Connor thank you uh I always look forward to what you're GNA wear on either the Sim multi cast or the daily stuff same thing actually yeah I SM like feel like that guy last night the uh the cheerleader guy um you know didn't look around him when he said this is America's mullet because Dy yeah that was quite didn't you know shout out to him you know and and and Michigan for winning uh they looked great last night especially the Run game uh was dominant but uh he didn't look around him and see that old comat was there with the America's mullet he was Intoxicated by the national champ his moment his moment you know he he had The Sideburns too I had to resp it was his moment yeah it was his moment I get it I get it they guys those guys are basing all night oh yeah yeah they were about I heard two two ladies each guy three guys six girls that's what I heard shoulders routine doing a lot of Arnold Arnold PR lot of Arnold yeah Bingo shout to I wonder if he's gonna come on our show ever again I think so I think he will Arnold the man uh all right go I haven't seen him on any other shows but maybe he's been on those um he's been doing some him and his donkey were did the Monday Manny well he did the Manning cast yeah those guys are awesome um great D Jets yeah uh two or three years I think two or three years I'm GNA see how I feel but uh I said yesterday you know I said something and you uh headlines are headlines and and if you say one thing and you see them all write something down you're like ah [ __ ] I said it to to my media guy afterwards I was like well I know what the headline is going to be I said something about being the hot SE hot seat right um and it's true though uh we're on the hot seat every year if you don't look at your job like that I don't know what we're doing you know but every year you got to prove yourself again whether you're the quarterback or any position or the coach you know like you go out and prove that you are uh you know a valued asset that you can get the job done and you still got it then you you're going to be around so that's how I've always looked at obviously it's a little different when you're under contract maybe first year second year as a rookie or first or second year of a major deal but every everything for me is a one year I go out ball out you know we make a run have a chance they'll probably want me back if I can prove I can still move around if I don't it's probably going to be it you know uh I'd like to be here for a few more I I like it here I really do I really have a good relationship with both Woody and Christopher and uh Joe Douglas and Robert Salah I enjoy the staff here I enjoy the guys a lot it's good good group of men and women that work here at the organization incredible fan base that's hungry um and it's been it's been a tough year you know if they're like this been a lost year but uh every time I talk it's going to get reaction I get it I understand it uh and yeah we are we're all on the hot seat like we we got to win every year you got to win and it's over scrutinized because we're in New York but we know that don't shy away from it uh just part of it okay so whenever you talk about that multiple year thing obviously that's a lot different than what a a lot of people thought going in and with how the first year ends up going Jets fans gave up hope I think on the whole dream for a bit now they're back in on it Michael Lombardi said it was like ineptitude of the Jets to basically say well we lost Aaron so we lost Aaron so that put a lot that puts a lot of pressure on you like for next year if it doesn't go let's say early there's a little bit of some Growing Pains that could potentially take place because you didn't get to have them this past year it's going to get real loud mostly on you though but you've earned that I guess and are you expecting that and understand that that's kind of going to be the scenario yeah I'll take it I'm ready for it like I understand it's part of the it's part of the job description like and uh our media is fantastic here they cover the team all facets of it uh they ask tough questions so I I enjoy those uh those times I understand what's coming and uh same thing last year you know would have been the same thing and I started played well and we' you know gone in Dallas and gotten our ass whooped and been like oh well you know hold your horses this might not be a great team and you know if we'd kind of started off one and three they would have been would have been killing me like they were killing everybody else so probably a little more um but yeah it's part of it part of the job I get it I look forward to it look forward those interactions and uh I'll be ready for everything that comes with it excited about getting back here in a few months and uh getting the offseason going excited about taking a little break first and foremost we'll see if this this whole thing dies down it never really Co part never really dies down but the other stuff and then we'll just uh try and enjoy our offseason a little bit more on that note AJ Hawk has a question great no I'm not nothing about Co none of that I'm just curious when you went into that your Darkness Retreat that got so much play how how close were you if you look back at it now you said you were you went in expecting like 90% retirement I think you you said back in the day I don't want to misquote you we know how you don't like that but when you look back what's the CH certainly over last week it quite a few how close were you though were you were you legit going to quit because when you retire I should say when you say two to three years I can't imagine you ever really taking your brain to the spot where you're not playing football I think that's uh that was not the case prior to uh you know the contemplation um that I I was considering walking away and and doing it right away but uh you know and I said it yesterday I felt like it was going to be a one-year thing and then I got out here and it just I kind of fell back in love with the game and the process and the practice and the locker room and just everything comes with it and so you know hey you remember those OTAs they were slow motion shots so sick it was like oh this guy throwing throwing the first time in front of all these people these people are seeing Aaron Rogers throw a football for the first time you knew that like even as a guy who's a first ballot Hall of Famer you got people watching on a sideline there's a little thing in the back of a lot of you humans up there like welcome to the [ __ ] show buddy you know like was that a part of it was that that's a whole thing right of course of course yeah I imagine yeah you know when you take the field for practice like there's people it's same thing for games like I feel that in games too it's like prepare to be impressed you know that's like are you not entertained like watch this I mean because and I think I took this from from Michael Jordan or somebody but I feel like some Elite athlete once said maybe it's Kobe like there's somebody in the arena that's never seen me play ton night like and I'm like there's somebody here has never seen me practice it's never seen me throw a ball before it's never seen me play like that that motivates me that's like that inspires me I'm like all right I'm gonna I'm gonna put on a show so yeah like I've had so much fun uh falling back in love with the game and so that's I think why it was even more heartbreaking going down so quick but uh I don't think it's going to be one more year I think it's going to be a few more years um so saying two to three feels like the truth uh I don't think one it's it's not one so it's two or or more that's why I said two or three well don't be given exact numbers you know CU then they'll get you Yep this lion immunized sack of Subs again he said two to three years he's played four years this [ __ ] never stops line this guy never do they still not understand why I said immunized dude the it just became like the do they know that do they know that I was in a in an appeal process not to mention like I don't know what you would call it if you go to a homeopathic doctor and you get taken through an immunization process what do you say you are well I think what some people would say is that you're a conspiracy theorists that's what people well lion lion soft brain you know concussion College transfer conspiracy theor but I'll tell you what though I was I was proud that that bu got a shout out because that was a special year for me there's a lot of amazing people of course uh going to to BU College whether it's the main campus in warville there the chico Center so shout out to BU College go road runners shout out to Craig rgby uh one of my all-time favorite coaches shout out to Jeff Jordan my quarterback coach offensive coordinator we had some great times there thanks for letting me run uh BC check with me so much which was basically five wide spread check to either QB draw 92 96 99 get down the road well shout out to be I mean that's good Silver Lining they got a shout out last night hey way to go way to look at the glass half full you know what I mean actually with that particular case you poured it out of the glass that was half full into a smaller glass all the way full did give a shout out to be there of that entire thing en numbers and also with the type of human you are I think that we've learned over the last couple years of talking to you feels like you're probably going to go get a doctorate at some point now right because that was kind of held against you that you uh you didn't graduate from that that seems like an Aaron Rogers thing oh yeah I've decided I'm become a [ __ ] doctor how come well I was a dumb concussion prone College Dropout at one point right that is the that is how you actually operate as a human well yes and also do we want to get into the college debate I mean I'm ladies and gentlemen ladies and gentlemen a great book right now called toling the American mind and it talks a lot about what's really going on college campuses these days so fact that I you know only spent five actual semesters on a college two of those being at a college that some people don't respect even though a community college is an awesome way for kids to start their career because it's low cost education in most places is fantastic and a lot of places are really good at getting you to transfer somewhere so um um I don't even want to get into what's going on in college campuses because it's uh that's just low hanging fruit I had a lot of great teammates that were Jo guys and uh not only is it low costs and if you get a degree you showcase that you were able to just put in work for a certain amount of time which is what I think college degrees are for a lot of things we're not even to get into charging an amount of money that they'll never be able to earn back so you're constantly in debt forever we're not going to do that it's the only it's the only debt that doesn't uh get erased through uh filing bankruptcy that thing stays with you not just with you but if you die that goes on to your that gets passed down they're getting that money now that you read that in a book I I I did not read that stat I'm supposed to check that that could yeah please fact that I could not be that could be false but that's I believe that's the way that student loans work checking we're checking check right now check it right now we're not going to let you get out of here till week no way check it out con man let me didn't Biden forgive a bunch of College loan yeah I think it's still happening but then they just started paying recently yeah in the in the forgiveness if you will there are a lot of checks that you got to get to okay so they're not just forgiven for anything you got to you know have a lot of different problems so they're saying we might forgive but we don't forget is what they're saying Biden has a had a great think tank at uh at upen I think all right I think I think I I mean I think this is the problem with with what you kind of wrap this conversation uh I'm happy you're the one doing this yeah yeah well I'm I'm a great Factor he seemed very happy about it yeah I love doing it um so one of them says all right if a borrower dies their federal student loans are discharged after the required proof of death is submitted oh that's good that's that seems fair however well that's a big one directly below it there is no administrative discharge for private student loans if you die private loan debts will be handled the same way as other debts so it goes on to the next line of yeah the ne the next one actually says uh if you weren't vaccinated you have to pay your debts no matter forever yeah right after it bag them and tag them while you're doing it yeah right all right well we know that the I mean we go one step further the answers at the top of the Google are obviously oh yeah vers the I mean there's there's no there's hey check him check him they say two people that are both qualified to give an answer on something will somehow have polar opposite answers in the same world that we live in right now so whenever people are like upset it's like hey I might not know the answer to go the other side but I can find somebody that is credible smart presents thems as a human that has done the research who will be just as passionate against you and I think the reason why I was kind of bummed out about last Tuesday is because what it led to was just more people yelling in bickering at each other and I think even though you are a man that has been chastised and had a lot of things thrown at you for the decisions that you've made and the way you've gone about living your life I don't think you want to be in the middle of more [ __ ] yelling at each other either I think all anybody wants mostly you is like open dialogue conversation and to be heard and I think if we can all kind of do that as we move forward we'll be in a much better spot because we're about to enter election season and godamn if we could just talk to each other that would make this all a lot better but what's going to take place is I'm better human than you are no you're not no I'm better human than you are and I don't know if you know this ESPN that P changes this year to what politics baby let's go no that and that's why you're a bad person no because of what you just said no no I'm not what I just I'm a better person than you are no you're not I just read facts off the internet so no but your facts were leading to a way that you are a better person than you are you're a bad person I've never done leing fact I'm a better person than you are guess what I actually rode in a carpool Gumpy today cuz we wanted to save the environment because we don't want to waste gas oh guess what I was also in there very uncomfortable didn't have to be I'm a better human than you are no you're not a better human than I am because you drive an electric car in those mines that they make those electric batteries and children die every day whoa let's talk about the [ __ ] ozone though I'm taking care of the entire world you're welcome they say global warming I'm a better human than you are oh Global Warming you mean that pish posh they made up to just get everybody oh jeez into into a frenzy you mean that one anyways that's politics a constant Battle of who's a better human who's standing for something better let's all assume that in the majority we're all good people and we want to move forward we appreciate you coming on today Aaron doing this entire thing and uh let's keep this thing marching on we covered we we covered a lot of ground and who knows if we cleared anything up as far as the uh those people who uh are out there saying stuff most of them probably don't want things cleared up anyway but listen I think in general I think you hit it on the head like I'm not trying to spread any hate in this world and I'm not asking anybody in my name to attack people so I hope that point got across loud and clear and uh and I hope that uh all corruption and uh misdeeds that have been done in the name of harming people whether it's kids or the common American gets exposed because that's going to make us a better country not fighting with each other about stupid [ __ ] like you guys just were which is hilarious ious because and also disheartening because that kind of [ __ ] is happening out there all the time yeah so I'm an observer I don't know much about politics but I do know that's what it is yep right there in a nutshell I don't think I don't think this is going to change my opinion to those people at all I don't care all right well I appreciate that hell of a year pal we've done good mustache was fantastic can't wait until next year mhm two healthy Achilles why spry knes why arrested body and arm why taking the field at MetLife on September 11th 2024 no it's going to be a different day it's got to be we got to change that that's not going to work got fact are you super what are we I don't know what day of the week that is I think it's a Wednesday right we're wday afternoon football do it Raj we need to see it you know what I mean we need to do one of these right here that was so cool we're gonna need San Fran to win and us to to play on a Wednesday or that's a Thursday right first game of the year we're gonna need San Fran to win because we play in San FR they could choose us to start the season you going back to Northern California where you're at that dumbass school that would be big be awesome last time there played there was pretty sweet too oh yeah believe that was a Mason Mason Crosby game winner yeah Dart to Devonte over the middle over Fred Warner Mason Crosby by Mason Crosby was back last two weeks of the Season hell yeah congrats to him doing it yeah all right Aaron have an incredible offseason we appreciate you buddy see you soon oh coming to the Dome whoa that's crazy man make sure you're VX before you get here ladies and gentlemen Aaron [Applause] [Music] Rogers
