People are always drawn to adventurous trips, seeking excitement and thrills. However, some escapades come with inherent risks that can have dire consequences. In a recent episode, Pat McAfee, the former NFL punter of the Indianapolis Colts, shed light on a surprising incident and shared true examples of adventures that claimed fortunes.

McAfee, a renowned sports personality and entertainer, has garnered a global following with his captivating charisma, humor, and insightful commentary. In his popular podcast, ‘The Pat McAfee Show,’ he covers a wide range of engaging topics, including the NFL community and personal anecdotes, such as the recent birth of his daughter, or even getting a deadly offer.

McAfee got a space trip offer

In a recent podcast episode, McAfee and his co-hosts, including former Green Bay Packers player A.J. Hawk, delved into a thrilling yet dangerous incident that has been occurring in the US. They discussed a renowned submarine tube controlled by a video game controller, which allows individuals to explore uncharted depths of the ocean. McAfee humorously described the compact size of the tube, likening it to a minivan with no windows and a single small screen.

Additionally, McAfee shared a comical experience of receiving an email offering him $250,000 to go to space, highlighting the absurdity of such a risky venture. He emphasized the lack of guarantees, both in terms of safety and a definite date for the trip. He said, “It was no guarantee we’ll make it out alive. There’s no guarantee of coming back.” He said he obviously opted out of the weird scam. McAfee also cautioned people against falling into such traps, using the phrase “you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes” to underscore the potential loss of money and even lives. Instances of fraudulent scams and their unfortunate victims are not limited to McAfee alone; numerous individuals have fallen prey to such deceitful schemes.
