Aaron Rodgers is returning to 'The Pat McAfee Show' every Tuesday, won't censor himself

If you want an unfiltered look into Aaron Rodgers and his new team, you don't have to look far again.

The former Green Bay Packers quarterback will appear on "The Pat McAfee Show" every Tuesday just as he has the last three seasons.

"Aaron Rodgers Tuesday is back, baby," the rowdy host said Thursday.

Rodgers called into the show, which was making its debut Thursday on ESPN, to help make the announcement.

It's not a surprise that Rodgers will show up every week on McAfee's YouTube-hosted show. It's been Rodgers' go-to platform in recent years when he has big announcements, including when he declared his intentions to play for the New York Jets this spring.

The quarterback never holds back during his appearances with McAfee, a former NFL punter who has created a media empire that now has ESPN streaming his show every day.

This, of course, included when he went on McAfee throughout the 2021 season to discuss the COVID-19 pandemic, including when he blasted the NFL's health and safety protocols, told viewers he was taking ivermectin after he tested positive for the virus and that he was getting COVID advice from podcaster Joe Rogan. He's opened up about going on a darkness retreat, his use of ayahuasca and detailed his panchakarma cleanse on McAfee's show in recent years.

He's called out the media over articles he doesn't like on the show, addressed UFOs, something he also talked about during the season finale of "Hard Knocks" this week, and he also has started a book club.

Yes, there is some football conversation as well.

McAfee's show, which has a fraternity feel to it where swearing, beer-drinking and smoking is normal, typically airs on YouTube for three hours during the late mornings to early afternoon. McAfee regularly gets sports insiders on his show. ESPN, which the New York Post is reportedly paying McAfee $85 million over five years, will air a censored version later in the afternoon where certain words are muted from the broadcast.

There was even a disclaimer at the beginning of today's show, with a tongue-and-cheek plea to not sue him. McAfee famously was sued by Brett Favre earlier this year — the suit has since been dropped — over comments he made about the former Packers quarterback's alleged involvement in a welfare fraud scheme in Mississippi.

Rodgers, for one, doesn't want to see an end to the swearing.

"I feel like we need to do some episodes where we do like what 'South Park' did the one time and try to break the record how many times they can curse," Rodgers said.

Rodgers, who one time wore a cancel culture sweatshirt on the show, noted Thursday he won't hold back in his language or views.

"I will not be censoring myself," Rodgers said. "I will be the same old, same old."
