Initially, fans were unimpressed by the news of the QB’s dark expedition. But now, discourse around the topic has gained momentum. Aaron Rodgers hopes that the days he spends in darkness, with only his thoughts for company, will give him clarity about his future. But, the oddity of witnessing a high-performing athlete taking part in unconventional practices has caused intrigue.

Pat McAfee and his co-hosts are some of the select few who have access to Rodgers’ thoughts. But during the QB’s weekly slot on the show, the hosts set aside all hard-hitting questions to focus on Rodgers’ bowel movements.

The topic segued into how A-Rod would find the bathroom, relieve himself and take a bath.
