That’s how you build and grow a business sustainably. Some people only look at next quarters profits, and anything beyond that doesn’t matter. Late stage capitalism problems!
Many business owners do actually do this. If you have a startup with 5 people that are developing a new product or technology and it hits big, guess what, those 5 people are usually going to get paid very well. Just look at almost any big company and see where they started and who was there from the start, most of those people are doing very well and often hold high positions in the company.
The beauty of having your own platform is that you can almost immediately respond to a hit piece like this and set the narrative straight from your own mouth. Love it!
When the mainstream is trying to paint you in a bad light for something as simple as compensating someone for their time, then you know you’re doing something right.
Those clips with guests who were paid hit differently when you realize they were basically employees. The issue is that it wasn't made clear these were employees. People thought these were interviews like when a head coach comes on the show to have a conversation. It's the same thing as a product reviewer being paid by a company to review a product. He may have had good intentions, but that doesn't really excuse hiding this from the viewers. Podcasts live in this world of ...sort-of journalism. Journalistic integrity should apply.
Pat’s not a journalist??? What do you even mean? I thought it was a no-brainer that a lot of the guests were paid. DB, AQ and Coach literally have an entire segment.

I think Coach Pagano might be one of my favorite people. His love for the sport and the boys comes out every time. Cheers to Pat for bringing everyone along who makes this show so unique and great.
As someone who didn't come from money, whose family didn't come from money, who still busts his ass and doesn't have money, whose family still busts their ass and doesn't make money, I find it awesome that there are good people like Pat who gives back, takes care of his own, and does the right thing. Keep it up man.
I remember the Christmas bonus video Pat dropped two years ago I think, dude drove to each one of his friends house just to give them 50 grand a piece. For a group of stooges who love and breath football I'm glad you guys have got to the spot you guys did, because all of you definitely deserve it!
Its so great to hear you talk and feel that way Pat. I WISH more CEOs and business owners would look at their employees the way you do. If CFO Phil needs any help, i would move to Indy tomorrow to work with you guys!
This is one of the reasons why this is the best sports show out there hands down! I have had a ton of respect for Pat and team but after hearing this that respect is even higher! Top drawer Pat!
Pat and AJ are the best. King of the 5 yard tackle and an entertaining punter. Thanks for all the hits over the years they were epic AJ. On and off the field.
I never knew this was happening but I love how Pat is so open with everything! He hides nothing ! Hey you are a good dude for sharing your sucsess with people that helped you.
I greatly admire your ability to show respect to your colleagues, welcoming others without displaying any sense of superiority. You manage to maintain a harmonious atmosphere among those who sit on your panel while still delivering engaging and compelling content. Your remarkable show consistently attracts viewers, and I encourage you to keep up the excellent work. Much Respect! Definately the BEST Sports Show Hands Down.. God Bless!
The Christmas story is what got me..being a single father on CS tryna to make ends meet on top of birthdays and Xmas attempting to make the most of what I can to get them gifts is one of the toughest pills to swallow. Delaying a bill or two just to make sure they have an amazing time is just things you gotta do sometimes in my situation. I wouldn’t change it cause I know one day it’ll pay off and I’ll take and give them what I dream to. Much respect Pat for putting not only your fathers story but your perspective as well in seeing what fathers are capable of was loving. You are where you are cause of being real and thoughtful of others other than you and yours.
Mad respect, bro. But we’re the richest we’ve ever been as a country, and poverty is the highest it’s been (outside the Great Depression). Something’s wrong… it shouldn’t be like this.
Yep and understanding nobody wants to work for free. Even in situations it isnt even expected, EVERYONE appreciates being offered money/some sort of value for their time and effort
This is why this show has become what it is! It's down to earth people having fun, helping us have fun too! Thanks Pat, Thanks AJ, thanks Toxic Table, and thanks Aaron! Ya'll rock!
This is cool Pat because I remember the second year and like week 2-3 Aaron was on and the PM Show was exploding. You thanked him profusely and added that he needed to get paid. AR laughed it off and was like, you are being ridiculous, you're not paying me. I do believe that he acquiesced to you, and finally let you give him a well deserved "bonus." Good on you!
The world is a better place when someone like Pat is in control of his platform. Changed many lives and gives back constantly. Need more Pats in the wolrd
This would make sense for one off appearances, but Aaron has an entire segment and arguably is what shot the PMS into the stratosphere, it’s probably what got ESPNs attention and led to so much more money, idk how paying the guy who grew your company massively is a bad thing
There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, but the disclosure is the missing aspect. They need to introduce Aaron as a contributing member of the show. It's just good journalism. I guess technically he's entertainment but that's where the line feels a bit blurry
Pat is just built different. Do things the right way and good things will come back to you. He deserves every ounce of this success and he’s handled this ESPN transition fantastically
Major media outlets are jealous of Pat and are befuddled by his success. Turns out, being genuine and honest is admirable to the general public. Keep it up, Pat. We miss having you on the Colts, but love seeing your success!
Once again I stand by the fact when it comes to business and just overall how we treat each other "If we all had a little more Pat McAfee in us the world would be a better place"
By giving someone with more money than god 450k for 10 minutes of "work" every week, while paying the ppl that actually built the company less? I think we have plenty of that already
@jakeleisure8326 nobody tunes in for the people who “work” for the show. They tune in for rodgers. He’s been doing weekly shows for a long time now, and has helped propel this podcast into stardom
Andrew Marchand worked for ESPN for 11 years before returning to the New York Post. I wonder if there is some bitterness between him and ESPN or bitterness with how ESPN is treating Pat McAfee.
You’re an idol for how you do business. Never change! The show gets better every year and its no wonder. The cast, interviews, and attention to detail is unmet in sports media.
Pretty obvious pat .. they think your choosing a side and trying to throw some dirt .. good friends are better than good storylines. Kudos to you and the crew.
jesus, got all emotional when Chuck started his lil bit at the end 😢 this group is MAKING MOVES! Love you guys, inspires me to want to try start my own like PMS someday over here in the UK 🇬🇧
This is why I love you guys and you are the only sports show I'll watch now. Y'all are genuine and actually care about people and the sport, and you cover sports topics better than anyone while making it funny. Well said Pat and everyone, keep it up.
I think Pat makes it very clear if a person makes REGULAR appearances on the program that they get compensated for their time. If it's a one off, news of the day appearance, then no. Those are usually zoom call interviews anyway so the interviewee isn't largely inconvenienced and is just on briefly for the story. Fairly compensating people for their time for contributing to these programs is long overdue! GO GET EM PAT!
The difference here is that Pat's show is entertainment and not journalism so any of the "journalistic integrity" arguments automatically get thrown out the window. Secondly, many journalists will pay for good stories. This is just the classic case of "they hate us because they ain't us."
@@TheJudeJaneFox News claims to be news tho. It's literally in the name. McAfee doesn't even claim that. He's closer to a network Joe Rogan type show/podcast that focuses on football and sports. Or like NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross. His biggest draw other than his magnetic personality is the interviews he does with actual NFL and college football athletes, coaches, gms, and staff. None of it is news. He runs a new age sports talk show. Old corporate media is just scared because he's taken over ESPN, operates his company independently, and dominates sports content now. It's ridiculous.
Journalistic Integrity is Imperative! I don’t believe in paying guest for my podcast. There is a Stark distinction between paying guest and how and why Pat is compensating Aaron for being a Multiplier! Pat isn’t paying Aaron to say certain things or not say certain things. Pat is practicing Reciprocity as a Businessman, Co-Host, Former Athlete and most importantly a Person. You are absolutely right this is a great example of Hypocrisy from the Mainstream Media!
Pat is now understanding why companies fail. I was at an hvac company and was making 25 and hour, my boss bought a new truck and hour that year off of me and my guy working 12 hour days for months…we didn’t even get a christmas bonus, Needless to say he has been looking for people ever since we left. Loyalty goes both ways.
Pat is really a stand up dude. He gave me $100 Tip and I didn’t even do the work. I was there and waiting but he had to do something else and paid me for my time.
Pat should look into how "cheque book journalism" began in Australia. It was basically TV programs starting to pay people for interviews. The most famous being Lindy Chamberlin who was wrongly jailed for years and was eventually paid for an interview, which large parts of the Australian media was shocked by. This practice was pioneered by Rupert Murdoch who owns the NY Post.
I've been listening to PMS for years now and this has always been the quality that brings me back to your show Pat. You are a good yuman and thank you for your service to this world.
This is so impressive to announce a valuation for your private company and I can tell, with the lack of turnover, you are exactly what you say you are. Appreciate you all and especially you Pat
@@THExAndrewxOright? What is THAT BIG if half a billion isn't? This guy was a punter and he's already had more post career success than like 99 percent of NFL players.
I remember the time where you went round to the boys houses and dropped them a bag of cash to say thank you for their time and effort. This is just that! There’s a difference between trying to buy success and big names versus you thanking those that have helped you pave your path. I’m happy for you and I’m happy for them! Shout out the boys!
Absolutely top drawer, Pat. The man's main job is an athlete, not a talking head on a TV show - he's taking his personal time to come on the show, an awful lot of time, so absolutely the right thing to do is pay the man for his time. Unless you are literally a charity, it ain't volunteer work!
The fact that Aaron Rodgers didn’t want to take the money at first shows what kind of guy Aaron is too. I’m sure he just puts it into some sort of foundation. But people should be compensated somehow for their interviews. For small companies I can see product, or discounts. And as a company gets bigger, financial compensation.
@@TzUuup ESPN and all this sports news companies surely love rodgers. not personality wise, but at the end of the day they all care for views. and they know rodgers is as polarizing as he gets. also pretty sure pat had to tell espn something like aaron rodgers tuesdays stay
The media is mad that no one is staying down for their smears anymore. You should have Djokovic on the show. Their heads would explode like in Scanners.
Pat, I’ve mentioned this before but I know your mom and dad and I’ve been in the home you grew up in and I also worked for the same company you referred to with your dad. What you stated was completely true about the company. Double paycheck at Christmas and an additional $100 for perfect attendance. Meanwhile the family that owned the business are millionaires. The only thing I want to add to this is that your mom and dad are fantastic people and you boys were raised right. Tell them Geno says hi. Much respect.. 👍
I wonder when Pat became the business man/how Phil plays into all of this. Like was that when the show started? A year in? Still in the NFL? That’d be interesting to learn what and how went in to all of this becoming the brand.
He grew up with Phil and took a chance. He got the NFL money did a great job in the NFL took his childhood friends and added some new faces but the core has been the same. Wilbon was wrong.
@@mikestrickland6290 The standard operating procedure for "journalists" is to make stuff up (or just straight-up lie). Sometimes a little, oftentimes a lot.
I don't comment often on TH-cam, but I appreciate your outlook on how you do business. What you're doing is totally logical. Why on earth should a company get 100% of the value that a player brings to them. This is why you've grown so much, Pat. The best way to grow a business is to understand how to make the people around you happy, and you clearly do it well. I still think you ask Aaron tough questions. There is a lot to challenge Aaron with vaccines, but what I like about your platform is allowing Aaron to say his piece, even though I may disagree. I personally believe it's not your job to fact-check Aaron Rodgers, that's why things like the NY Post/Times exist to challenge what he says. You're allowing him to speak his opinion, and if the NY Post/Times wants to fact-check him, then go for it. There is obviously a line of what you should platform, but even if you believe in vaccines, there are valid concerns to bring up. But really enjoy your show!
When is Pat running for office? He'd turn this country around with that attitude and insight. I'd vote in him as president, treasure, and social chair right now!!!
as someone who works for a car manufacturer and builds their cars and helps them get richer while i slave away for a small paycheck, it's nice to hear someone out there appreciates and takes care of their people. i wish my work did the same.
Amazing segment Pat is way too real for this sports media mogul world lol. I remember during one of the Helwani segments years ago Pat brought this issue up saying how he offers people money to come on the show as a thankyou and Helwani basically said no never give them money to appear on the show the exposuire they get for being on is payment enough... Guess that explains why Helwani hasn't been on since 😂 Although i can think of a few times it was clear people got paid to come on the show and they did NOT vibe well at all or seem like they wanted to be here, everyone else notices that and they've not been on since which is again just great business.
I never watched this show before. The business philosophy that Pat and the rest of the guys have is refreshing to hear and has made me a subscriber and I will continue to tune in from now on.
@@Rowsy91 better quality, more exposure, best thing on ESPN since first take in 2018. I hope he changes mainstream media, to be more individualistic and less about hot takes.
I swear when I thought my respect for Pat won’t even go higher. This! This right here! Pat understands business and growth by symbiosis! What a man! What a legend! I first saw him for his commentary about Antonio Brown in the NFL top 100 list! Lol 😆 Then the C-gap situation with Polomalu lol lmao 😂 Love this guy and what he created!
I think they thought you were bribing him to be on the show or that he was charging you to be on the show, which isn't bad per se, but the show certainly gives us the perception that you're all doing it just because you guys thought it would be fun/cool to do. Giving a gift as a thank you for making you a ton of money certainly is in that spirit and is just wonderful of you to do because you had no obligation to do it.
Chuck says at the end of it that they don't do it for the compensation and that they would gladly do it for free because they love Pat and love the show!
I thought Pac only comes on during the NFL off season. I believed I read somewhere he's a Highschool football coach if true that would explain his absence.
Pat thinks exactly how EVERY BUSINESS OWNER should be thinking. Support the guys that helped you get to where you are! Mad respect.
That’s how you build and grow a business sustainably. Some people only look at next quarters profits, and anything beyond that doesn’t matter. Late stage capitalism problems!
Not just business owners, humans in general should act like this.
Many business owners do actually do this.

@@THExAndrewxOright? What is THAT BIG if half a billion isn't? This guy was a punter and he's already had more post career success than like 99 percent of NFL players.
I remember the time where you went round to the boys houses and dropped them a bag of cash to say thank you for their time and effort. This is just that! There’s a difference between trying to buy success and big names versus you thanking those that have helped you pave your path. I’m happy for you and I’m happy for them! Shout out the boys!
Yeah I'm pretty sure he also gave the boys 250k each after the fan duel deal
I love hearing football talk from real football players, from high school to the pros!! Love the Pat McAffee Show!!!
The elites hate Pat and the people love him because he deals honestly and fairly. Thank you Pat!!!
I LOVE Pat and the whole crew! Thank you for doing it your Way! The right Way in my humble opinion!
Absolutely top drawer, Pat. The man's main job is an athlete, not a talking head on a TV show - he's taking his personal time to come on the show, an awful lot of time, so absolutely the right thing to do is pay the man for his time. Unless you are literally a charity, it ain't volunteer work!
Appreciating people is why you’re doing so well brother. Keep up the great work and show!
The fact that Aaron Rodgers didn’t want to take the money at first shows what kind of guy Aaron is too. I’m sure he just puts it into some sort of foundation. But people should be compensated somehow for their interviews. For small companies I can see product, or discounts. And as a company gets bigger, financial compensation.
I'm surprised espn is letting him on and still the same convos as before.
@@TzUuup ESPN and all this sports news companies surely love rodgers. not personality wise, but at the end of the day they all care for views. and they know rodgers is as polarizing as he gets. also pretty sure pat had to tell espn something like aaron rodgers tuesdays stay
@@ricardorivera7549 yeah but everyone knows espns far left and pro covid and we k ow where rodgers stands on that
This is why I like Pat. He’s doing things the right way.
Pat is reminding me of Mr. Beast on changing the way people are treated and viewed by companies...crazy world
The media is mad that no one is staying down for their smears anymore.
You should have Djokovic on the show. Their heads would explode like in Scanners.
Joker would get no fly list for speaking the truth, hate speech, hahahaaa
Pat, I’ve mentioned this before but I know your mom and dad and I’ve been in the home you grew up in and I also worked for the same company you referred to with your dad. What you stated was completely true about the company. Double paycheck at Christmas and an additional $100 for perfect attendance. Meanwhile the family that owned the business are millionaires. The only thing I want to add to this is that your mom and dad are fantastic people and you boys were raised right. Tell them Geno says hi. Much respect.. 👍
Yeah this is 100% a lie 🤣🤣🤣
And I’M here from that incident..liked and subscribed brother!
Damn! Pat has always helped out who has helped him get here. Well deserved. Lol just hands Aaron a house payment that’s crazy
I just want to say I absolutely love the addition of Chuck Pagano. Just feels wholesome. And I hope pat knows how much we all love that addition
AJ Hawk told me at a meet n greet that he only comes on to PMS so he gets money for cigars
Bump
Thanks for taking care of you and yours. You're the GOAT, Pat.
I wonder when Pat became the business man/how Phil plays into all of this. Like was that when the show started? A year in? Still in the NFL? That’d be interesting to learn what and how went in to all of this becoming the brand.
He grew up with Phil and took a chance. He got the NFL money did a great job in the NFL took his childhood friends and added some new faces but the core has been the same. Wilbon was wrong.
@@mikestrickland6290 The standard operating procedure for "journalists" is to make stuff up (or just straight-up lie). Sometimes a little, oftentimes a lot.
Bro!!
Pat and the bois are the dopest around. Thank you guys!!!
I don't comment often on TH-cam, but I appreciate your outlook on how you do business. What you're doing is totally logical. Why on earth should a company get 100% of the value that a player brings to them. This is why you've grown so much, Pat. The best way to grow a business is to understand how to make the people around you happy, and you clearly do it well. I still think you ask Aaron tough questions. There is a lot to challenge Aaron with vaccines, but what I like about your platform is allowing Aaron to say his piece, even though I may disagree. I personally believe it's not your job to fact-check Aaron Rodgers, that's why things like the NY Post/Times exist to challenge what he says. You're allowing him to speak his opinion, and if the NY Post/Times wants to fact-check him, then go for it. There is obviously a line of what you should platform, but even if you believe in vaccines, there are valid concerns to bring up.
But really enjoy your show!
When is Pat running for office? He'd turn this country around with that attitude and insight. I'd vote in him as president, treasure, and social chair right now!!!
Nah paying him a mill is embarrassing
as someone who works for a car manufacturer and builds their cars and helps them get richer while i slave away for a small paycheck, it's nice to hear someone out there appreciates and takes care of their people. i wish my work did the same.
Pat McAfee is a class act, always looks after his people 👏👏👏👏
Article: "Pat McAfee pays Aaron Rodgers"
Pat McAfee: "Eventually! He kept saying 'No'!"
Huge for pat and the boys. 500m?! Huge congrats man, been listening since the OLD streams when you were just the big hitting colts punter! Go Colts!
Best thing I watched on TH-cam today.
Boston Connor put a bow on it with, “It’s about the principle.”
Amazing segment Pat is way too real for this sports media mogul world lol. I remember during one of the Helwani segments years ago Pat brought this issue up saying how he offers people money to come on the show as a thankyou and Helwani basically said no never give them money to appear on the show the exposuire they get for being on is payment enough... Guess that explains why Helwani hasn't been on since 😂
Although i can think of a few times it was clear people got paid to come on the show and they did NOT vibe well at all or seem like they wanted to be here, everyone else notices that and they've not been on since which is again just great business.
I never watched this show before. The business philosophy that Pat and the rest of the guys have is refreshing to hear and has made me a subscriber and I will continue to tune in from now on.
Okay so they accurately reported?
Definitely was not expecting that man shout out to Pat my guy always kept it so real he ain’t never been no hater!!
This is why Pat is still the best regardless of the gigantic stab in the back to the fans by signing with ESPN.
nah i love that he is on ESPN... he is shoving his method right into mainstream and winning... GG
How is he stabbing us in the back?
keep whining
the show is somehow even better on ESPN with all the new money its electric every episode i watch
@@Playami10000000% correct
@@Rowsy91 better quality, more exposure, best thing on ESPN since first take in 2018. I hope he changes mainstream media, to be more individualistic and less about hot takes.
I swear when I thought my respect for Pat won’t even go higher. This! This right here! Pat understands business and growth by symbiosis! What a man! What a legend! I first saw him for his commentary about Antonio Brown in the NFL top 100 list! Lol 😆 Then the C-gap situation with Polomalu lol lmao 😂 Love this guy and what he created!
😂🤣🤣 when The Corporate Agenda is working overtime to discredit you - then you’re doing something righteous.
Keep on Keepin on bro! You are awesome!
Pat is a class act. Should be more people like him in the world.
I expected AJ to say “you guys are getting paid for this?”
Aaron Rodgers is the reason why I watch this show. Good to see in principle he's getting compensation for it.
The difference is your platform is honest and has integrity.
I think they thought you were bribing him to be on the show or that he was charging you to be on the show, which isn't bad per se, but the show certainly gives us the perception that you're all doing it just because you guys thought it would be fun/cool to do. Giving a gift as a thank you for making you a ton of money certainly is in that spirit and is just wonderful of you to do because you had no obligation to do it.
Chuck says at the end of it that they don't do it for the compensation and that they would gladly do it for free because they love Pat and love the show!
Pat - take this hit and every one that comes as a compliment. You and your crew are THE best sports show on TV and the podcast world. JRE of sports!
Pat didn't say packman's name, so I guess he really is gone from the show. That sucks
Why? What happened
Why is Packman no longer on the show?
I thought Pac only comes on during the NFL off season. I believed I read somewhere he's a Highschool football coach if true that would explain his absence.
@@RT-qz5ci He had a problem on a airplane. Had to get escorted off and taken to jail.
@@jinkade That's what I thought as well.
Edit: I knew about the arrest, but also thought he was more of an off season guest.
Pat McAfee is an awesome guy, when college gameday came to Tuscaloosa for the Bama vs Texas game all the students loved Pat the most
Great stuff Pat. Keep going buddy. Your show and your approach are spot on.
I love pat for this type of stuff. Coach Pagano makes me laugh all the time. He's the type of guy you just like to be around.
To paraphrase Pat here: "If you are a star and want to come on my show I will pay you handsomly!". This segment was a commercial for him
“I’m not embarrassed or ashamed” …I also would never have talked about it if this article wasn’t written
