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. 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.
Time & attention brought to ur interview
Oh brother
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 thought it was a no-brainer that a lot of the guests were paid. would you do a whole segment on a multi-million dollar company show for free??
and if you answer, yes, you’re a stooge
@@CujobobWtf are you talking about? As long as he's not using his money to bring harm to others, it's not the public's business what he's doing with his money. It's HIS money. He is allowed to do what he wants to.
I still don't get what the issue is.
@@CujobobI don’t feel those examples relate at all. They’re not reviewing a product we are going to buy. It’s like watching a movie and being upset they pay actors.
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!
Lol more people watch Mcaffee than read the post.
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.
This had been the perfect moment for AJ to go "wait! you guys are getting payed??"
Paid?
That dude sure does look like AJ's son too 🤭
He's probably from a romantic-language-speaking-country.
or even if AJ looked right in the camera and said "Pat, I dont want any money, just please let my family go..."
Paid
Stay who you are Pat that is why we love you and your crew.
And no one asked Aaron what he did with the $... Probably something charitably
He's already sold out
@@factsoverfiction1499and yet you still watch
Hell yeah
Agreed! I love how Connor seemed to feel pretty strongly about this, and backed up comment Pat said, love hearing Connor fired up!
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.
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!
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!
And in cash just because.
That was from the first big endorsement , 50k in back packs 👍🍻
One of the first Pat videos I ever watched. Great stuff.
Facts than I think he also gave the boys 250k @ couple months ago as well😂😂
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!
So agree
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.
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!
Mad respect for you Pat! If only more CEO's thought this way
they cant, they are CEO's b/c they are sociopaths
I love this man. It’s called loyalty.
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
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.
Kudos Pat McAfee. Keep taking care of your people. God bless you, the team, and all the families
Pat’s right for sharing the wealth. If Aaron wants to donate it that’s his choice.
I don't care either way. I don't even like AR, but if he wants to burn it, donate it, buy a yacht, that his right as it's his money.
@d-rot we get it you're a Bears fan 😂
@@lorenzovonmatterhorn4756 nope. He's just a douchebag. The male Gwynth Paltrow.
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!
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!
bros vocabulary is exquisite damn
bro is smart af
You’re a real one, Pat. Couldn’t be prouder to support you and the crew.
"BREAKING: PAT MCAFEE PAYS HIS WORKERS FAIRLY" NY Post really thought they did something with that article lmaooo never change Pat.
Next it’ll say Pats payment will be called “bribes”.
This conversation was blasting wholesomeness into my ears and heart. Thank you Pat and Co. for setting the standard of appreciation!
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 LOVE Pat and the whole crew! Thank you for doing it your Way! The right Way in my humble opinion!
Once again Pat is leading the way and changing the way things should be. Amazing.
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.
Love to hear this! Tell EM!
Been a massive fan of your show…. The way you responded to this, raised my respect for you and your work. You’re a DAWGGGG!!!
"We are very lucky" Thank you for your perspective. I appreciate you. Thank you for being part of the solution.
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
Absolutely. Its what caught my attention.
Yep never gave em a shot until Aaron Rodgers tuesday after the first playoff loss. Watched every single week since.@@RT-qz5ci
@@RT-qz5ci Pat has a show on espn? Stopped watching their crap 10 years ago, after watching nothing but espn for 20 some odd years
@davethompson6760 the show your watching right now is on ESPN see that thing in the bottom right corner ? That's ESPNs logo
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
Great stuff Pat. Keep going buddy. Your show and your approach are spot on.
Everytime when you think Pat can’t get any cooler .. genuine good dude man 💯
Great job getting out in front of this and explaining it to us viewers/listeners. This was a huge swing and a miss hit piece.
Does that make it a miss piece?
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
@tonygaertner8863 I agree. Why is pat acting like compensation is based on hard work and being with the show a long time, then?
The most surprising thing i learned from this video was that PMS is worth 500 mil. That is insanely impressive, congrats to the boys
Bro!!
Pat and the bois are the dopest around. Thank you guys!!!
Need more bosses like you in this country
"Need more bosses like you in this country"
That is communism.
Unacceptable in America.
In the world.
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.
Won't lie bro, I thought you said he was an "idiot" not "idol" lol. But you're right.
Same here haha
@@theroachden6195
@@theroachden6195i read it over twice and read idiot both time😂😂
@@theroachden6195 haha, thats funny bro
what you guys are doing is awesome! You don't need to explain anything to anyone, congrats to all of you on your success!
This is Why I'll ALWAYS ride with Pat. Real people do Real things.
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 🇬🇧
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
Yes! Keep it up Pat! I wish you nothing but success! I love watching your show grow!
Thank you for this Pat. You're one of the rare few who actually get it. You're an amazing human. Nothing but love 💪 ❤
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.
This is why we love you Pat. You are a genuine breath of fresh air in this cynical world we live in. LOVEYEWWWW PAT
Appreciating people is why you’re doing so well brother. Keep up the great work and show!
watched this show for the sports, left this episode with a degree in business. love it. thank you for the insights and reminder and being a great example big Pat!
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!
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.
Preach
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!
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.
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.
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."
Yes, “entertainment -NOT journalism”… just like FOX News calls themselves. Opinion based; not fact based.
Pats pretty much the TMZ of sports entertainment
Journalism and Pat McAfee. Haha
@@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.
@@TheJudeJane🤔 I wonder how much Fox News pays its shills, errr, guests to spew their propaganda?
I'm sending this video out in an email to all the "higher-ups" first thing Monday morning 😂
I love hearing football talk from real football players, from high school to the pros!! Love the Pat McAffee Show!!!
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
That's why your winning Pat, one of the realest to do this! Never change!
Keep on Keepin on bro! You are awesome!
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
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
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 🤣🤣🤣
Kudos to you Pat. Glad you are doing this and this is how business should be. Take care of your people
Keep up the great work Pat! Support your guys and they will support you! Love the show and the BOYS! Don't stop being you!
Pat is reminding me of Mr. Beast on changing the way people are treated and viewed by companies...crazy world
Great entertainer / host. Better human. Good for you Pat- inspiring.
Hell Yeah, said like a BOSS!!! A REAL BOSS!!! Thank you for being you!!!
I Love Pat McAfee and the boys even more NOW. Everyone's time is valuable thanks Pat for being the one. I really enjoy the show man much Love.
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!
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 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!
And I’M here from that incident..liked and subscribed brother!
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!
In a world full of fake being real is not what they want
The elites hate Pat and the people love him because he deals honestly and fairly. Thank you Pat!!!
God bless you guys!! You’re spot on and I love how you run your business.
Thanks for taking care of you and yours. You're the GOAT, Pat.
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!
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 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.
Pat you're a real one!!! Stay up big homie
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
That's because he's not that big. Let him keep growing and he'll be singing a different tune.
@@TzUuupconsidering these dudes are all acting about the same just more polished I respectfully disagree. This wasn’t even a 500k company 5 years ago.
@@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.
Pat McAfee is a class act, always looks after his people 👏👏👏👏
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
The only thjng is that I remember him telling Ariel Helwani that he would never compensate people for interviews. 🤷🏽♂️
😂🤣🤣 when The Corporate Agenda is working overtime to discredit you - then you’re doing something righteous.
I came because of Aaron. I stayed cause the show is amazing! Its a show for the people, and come from a very human perspective. Keep it up guys. Dont change.
mad respect to all yall
Love ya Pat!! Totally agree 100%
Next, the media is going to reveal that A.J. Hawk is also paid to be on the Pat McAfee show. The madness!!!
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.
Sheesh, I love Pat and the boys. Good midwest dudes all around. Keep it up, boys -love yuns
lol coach went off at the end 😂😂😂of the
AJ Hawk told me at a meet n greet that he only comes on to PMS so he gets money for cigars
Bump
Nah paying him a mill is embarrassing
Keep doing your thing Pat! You’re the goat! Before you switched to ESPN I refused to watch that network. You’re awesome and you have changed the way we view sports and you make it a lot of fun to watch you!
Good on you Pat!!
Okay so they accurately reported?
I don't comment often on CZcams, 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!
Thank you
Lets go Pat!!!!!!!! We need more people like you
