9:02 AJ’s fake book background falling while Johnny is talking about serious life issues and them having to keep straight faces was an all time moment
the illusion was shattered right at the point in the story where johnny footballs illusions were shattered. a fitting allegory
He can’t tape it up again😂
I did not even notice that, 😂
A surprise moment of professionalism. Tbh, I wish Pat would've addressed it and brought Johnny into the fold instead of pretending to listen 100%
i damn near started crying when i realized he has had fake books behind him this whole time
1 week and 1 day sober guys. I feel a lot better in mind and body. Hope the best for anyone who is going through the same.
You gob this bro, it'll be the best decision of your life. I'm at 122 days and I feel the healthiest I've ever felt since I was a teenager. The gym and healthy habits will become the next addiction, but they're good ones. One day at a time dude! I use the sober time app to track my days. Pretty satisfying seeing the days rack up
You can do it brother
Keep it up bro! Surround yourself with the people you want to be like. Positive, encouraging and reaffirming people help. People that will call you out on your bs and hold you accountable.
Nice man, encouraging to read this as I’m recovering from a monster bender/relapse. I’ll keep my head up
One day at a time. You can do this.
So many of us had no idea what we were doing when young. Hoping the best for Johnny going forward.
So true... and we didn't have camera's following us around.
Not my problem some of us didn't know how to act. Yall parents stupid or were yall mad at them? Where did the church hurt you? Have you decided your pronouns?
@@aidanwatson910you still don’t know how to act fool
Nerd
Lol whatever
Watching the green screen slowly fall, Pat and AJ exchange glances, and then Pat’s background change to the bookshelf all without Johnny ever noticing is the reason I love this show.
Hilarious! 😂
Brah will forever be in the rotation now during PMS commercial breaks lol
How did I never notice that was a green screen lol
😂😂😂
It wasn’t a green screen. It is a bookshelf poster
You can still see pain in his eyes. It'll be a life long battle to get past this but he can do it!
Life long? Nah man you can tell most of it is behind him. Him admitting it is half the battle already
He still drinks, which IMHO he will need to quit. It wears you down, depresses you, and affects your overall health. I hope he experiences life sober from alcohol for many years, coming from someone sober for almost 5 years
@@frienddylanya, he's screwed with that bottle in his hand...he JUST admitted he drinks in the morning! It's like he desires to be a low scale douchebag tho. Bad signs, he's hiding in plain sight. I think we'll be hearing about him VERY soon. I hope he realizes he doesn't need the drink. I hear somebody who's too smart for his own good.
@@nickh7777 I wholeheartedly agree. Right now it seems like he's out to make a buck, not out to help others yet. His attitude will have to shift to being someone who serves others and or God. If he hasn't had his moment of clarity about alcohol yet then I'm worried about what it will take for him realize he's better without it
@@frienddylany’all mfs so lame. Tryna tell another man what to do in UA-cam comments lol. Saying he needs to please others or find god like wtf lol. Just enjoy that we get to watch it and be thankfully you aren’t him or wish you were him
Man, when the camera came back to Pat and he had the books behind him I almost died from laughter. All unspoken. Fantastic.
What was even funnier, was watching the guys behind the glass laughing and switching to the books. You could see it in the reflection behind Connor while Connor was asking his question. 😂😂
@@Benw3790 straight up comedy. I loved it.
All time clip, the background falling dahn being just one of them
@@Joshcmakin legit. All time clip.
Foxy, and Zito on point 😅
I always wondered whether AJ had a real book case or a green screen… turns out, it was neither 🤣🤣🤣
I just listen, does he touch it or something? Time stamp?
@@chrisgeorge849 minutes brother
@@TEKVidsonlinethanks sir.
He’s like, sh*t… they know now
Pats reaction lol
These sort of interviews are why I love this show. It feels like every guest is just more relaxed and able to be themselves. I appreciate Johnny being open about his struggles, it’s not easy to be open about them but Johnny telling his story could save people from making similar mistakes. Glad to see Johnny is in better place, best of luck to him going forward!
Seeing genuine emotion from him and sharing his story is powerful. It will benefit someone.
The Johnny Football interview will always be remembered as the Day AJ's bookshelf died.
Staying with the brand, anything about Johnny Football will be remembered for a failure
I thought it was a real bookshelf for a long time! 😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And Bye bye Ms American pie
My buddy was in Rehab with him in like 2015. Had nothing but good things to say about him. Real ass dude.
I bet! Lol
@@anthonymegherp6184rehab isn’t exactly a flex why would he make that up 😂
@@anthonymegherp6184 Having a friend in rehab is depressing man, why would he lie about that?
As a Steelers fan, I always liked him.
@@Tomyohann does anyone know his friends name ?? Naw so I’s it sad ?
Pats updated background after AJs mishap was gold
I like how the books are GIANT 😂
I just noticed this 😂
A legend in my eyes I was in middle school when he rose and the influence he had on us young athletes was insane. There aren’t many college quarterbacks that rose to the level he did for A&M. Glad he’s doing better 🐐
The guy in your profile pic is the real legend 🐐😅
@@deepangshudas Arsenal ❤️ ❤️
Turned you all into d bags
@@jcbuckeye who is "you all" lol? Are you mad those kids looked up to this guy, like kids do? Kids look up to people that are not perfect you know, you are not perfect, you have no room to judge the next man.
Johnny was a Must Watch at Texas A&M every Saturday. I needed to know what time & channel they were playing on. Only other player I remember feeling this way about was Magic Johnson. Everyone talks about his Alabama game, take a look at what he did to Duke in his Bowl game too.
Great fon times man. Reggie bush and Johnny football were the best times in college football
That’s idolatry bro. Don’t let things of this world run your life
@@TzUuupTebow, Vick, Johnny, Bush and Vince.
@@lefthandedfork3337 ok jackass. No one's idoling these guys. Just spectating great physical specimens
I’m an Aggie.. I’d I have to say Earl Campbell was the one to watch come Saturday and then eventually Sundays.
As a Browns fan, we wanted nothing but for Johnny to succeed. The drinking in Vegas thing at a time he needed to train, we knew it was going no where. We had high hopes.
Same. Then the reports of him putting vodka in his water bottles on the field. Man us being Browns fans is tough. I’m from Broadview Heights and just moved from there to Atlanta 🫡
Steeler fan didn’t want him to succeed in CLE obviously but was hoping he’d be in league for longer than he was still a legend glad he’s righted the ship be a great watch
@@neilsmith9066 I can say with a straight face, Haslem didnt know a thing about running a team. He is still learning, but we have had a coach for a few years now. This will be Stefanski's hot seat year I believe. Stefanski is still learning too.
@@GorbombZombay Obviously. :) The rivalry aint what it used to be. I remember watching the Turkey Jones sack of Terry back in the day. Lots of dirty hitting and such on both sides. And they just kept playing. It was great football back then.
Manziel has talked about how ashamed he is for wasting 2 years of Joe Thomas' career.
Johnny was a lot of fun to watch in college. Mental health is real and still so many people ignore it because they cannot see it.
Pat is an elite interviewer
Excellent interview. Good to see him turning his life around and giving back to the younger generation. The Netflix doc was great as well.
Johnny Football still one of the most exciting CFB of all time.
💯 nobody can take that away
Great college qb
Tebow, Reggie, Vince young, Carson palmer and Manziel. My list in no particular order.
The level of respect that I have for him after watching this just rose significantly. You can really tell he has taken a lot of time to work thru this. Mad respect
Recovering alcoholic & addict here that wreaked havoc on everyone & everything meaningful in my very small world. Can only imagine the chaos and wreckage had that world been bigger, more resourceful and public. So grateful people before me paved the way & provided directions on how to get up & out!
I remember doing the Money Manziel taunt when I walked across the aisle at high school graduation. This man was one of the most special talents I’ve ever seen in college football. So glad he’s on the other side of those dark times.
Oh, cool, you’re one of those
@@jameshuggins7320 better than being whatever you are
@@SteelCountry45 whats your yearly salary earnings now?
Goddamn, one of the douchiest things to do. You’re not the main character bud.
@@joekerUli I was 18 buddy, we all did dumb fun stuff when we were that young. Relax with the unnecessary negativity. Have a blessed day.
Nothing but compassion and support for Johnny after the Netflix special. Better things are ahead...I'm convinced. Very intelligent man for sure.
Love how humble and clear headed he seems now. Always been a fan
Yeah, nothing says clear-headed like morning boozing.
Thank you for opening up and sharing your story.
i gained a lot of respect and a new perspective of johnny from this interview. glad i watched it
Them making AJ's blanket the monitor background after it fell was absolutely legendary.
Really hope he is in a better place now. I have no idea how I would have reacted at 18 years old with the amount of spotlight on me that Johnny Manziel had. Glad it seems like he's made peace with his situation and I'm excited to see the doc
A kid that had it all and was on top of the college football world. Glad he has bounced back
Been waiting for this interview forever
Love a good redemption arc, put this man on as a CFB caster and lets enjoy it like we all enjoy our drunk uncle whos almost young enough to be a big brother.
Dawg I'm 26 in two weeks and as a lover of football and going through some hard depression, already two close calls to wanting to be gone I can't wait to see how Manziel got out of his deep slump. I thank him so much for sharing his extremely dark period ❤️
Jesus loves you
@@raphaelokosun4325 ❤️❤️
@Gatorbubs, Bro, we need you here. Turning off the light is not an option. When you are at your lowest, down in the hole, there is only one way to go: UP! So, u have a path. We all influence each other, dont rob someone else of your company. You may be the post in the ppinball machine that sends the ball towards the light, for someone who may need you. I love ya bro!! Stick Around Bud!!
@@zachh2776 damn dude.. I'm gonna be someone's light in the pinball machine ❤️ thank you 🥰 your words and time mean so much..
Yeah buddy. Besides, you gotta stick around and watch my Eagles go back to the superbowl!!
Manziel was on my mind lately !! Wow ! What an appearance !! Thank u sir ! Evans is tearing it up in Tampa !!
I wanted to see him succeed with the Browns, but having my own issues, I could see how those would probably play a factor in his chances for success. Wishing you nothing but the best Manziel!!!
Stay up buddy we got you🫡
Some people can’t get out of their own way. I’ve been there, nowhere near the fame as some of these young men but my ego was fat and my pride was wide. Good for you, Johnny. I hope your story resonates with the up and comers.
Same
He makes interviews like this all the time then his true colors show. I’m from Cleveland and Browns fan. He was nothing but a disrespectful person. The city could not stand him after a week.
Manziel really was the guy, growing up I’d watch his games and think just manziel just, you could relate somehow to him. And even know as we grow older I relate even more, cause life is rough/hard and we all go thru things and manziel opening up sort of makes it feel okay to be in a low. I appreciate his recent talks
I love that men are talking about the mental health more at this level.. changing life’s
Great Interview!
He looks better now
I love Johnny football I hope he’s okay
Damn Johnny needed to hear this, I relate brother much love
Love It Pat The Pat McAfee Show Bro.
This dude was electric!!!
Put some respect on his name!!!
Love this man’s story
What a life!!
Can’t wait to watch the doc 🤙
My bud got me a signed Johnny Manziel A&M jersey for Christmas it was awesome. Always a legend to me, glad he gets the opportunity to share his story from his perspective.
That's so dope 🎉
Good interview guys. Ricky Williams and Johnny Manziel is an interesting 1-2 punch for the show today.
All the best Johnny.God bless you and your family all your days ✝️🕊️🇺🇸
I always loved Johnny even for the antics with the Browns but now I feel bad because he felt the need to feed the beast I am so entertained by. Glad he's doing better now.
Big fan!! Really happy for him.
Aj “bookcase” falling is why they on espn. He said he read those books. Love these dudes
Just watched the doc . Never made excuses 💯 real about it
Cant stop watching the documentary Johnny football is an inspiration
Damn Pat. This is the best fukng show on the net. What a legend.
Kudos to Pat and aj holding it together at library Capolypse… that was not easy for them but they are getting ready for the mother ship … pro move !
I gotta say, Johnny Manziel is damn near the top of my list for people Id LOVE to play a round of golf with. Dude has so many stories and its amazing to see him come out the other side.
I remember when Jose Canseco baseball career was over and he was broke. He came up with spend a day with Jose Canseco. Cost was $2500. I expect to see Manziel to do something similar.
Johnny was MUST SEE TV!! I remember where I was when they played Alabama. I went to the movies in the afternoon and rushed home to watch the game. Amazing college career. Should have had better influences around him
Pat reacted like AJ’s whole house was imploding 😂
Pat deserves an untold documentary he was a one of a kind punter
Great interview, go Johnny!!! Can't wait to watch the documentary ❤
Great interview
Met him at halftime of an FCF game in ATL he was actually reslly cool and didnt have to say anything to me super glad he was cool, absolute legend
Will always love Johnny Football
Johnny, you rule man. Remember everybody "got something". Meaning that there is no way you should feel a certain way as if anyone on this earth is anywhere near perfect. You already helped alot of people but always keep yourself in check. Worry about you first. Especially when those times come and try to grab and control you. Your #1 so stay on top of that game. Football is football but you my friend is what's important. Nothing else. Gonna leave you with one last thought....running a bar, nightclub is a challenge. Your livelihood depends on all your workers to create an outstanding experience every night. Your customers ARE your livelihood and it's your workers who make or break the business. That's alot of balls in the air when you need to focus on you. It takes excellent focused managing and today alot of employees don't really have the grit of old school ethics. So cutting your losses with employees who don't perform may be a frequent frustrating experiance. I personally would concider something less demanding and less risky since your investing a lot on something that requires 110% of your full attention. But if your ready for that and done your homework.....let her rip as they say. Best of luck to you whatever you choose to do.
Pat’s face as aj’s bookshelf deletes its self is awesome 😂😂😂
Five years ago, I saw a Montreal Home Game when Johnny was on the team.
Congrats to Johnny for surviving and becoming a positive role model for everyone that has dangerous tendencies.
Excellent point
Stay healthy Johnny !
the Johnny Football teaser already looks way more interesting than that 'Quarterback' documentary
It was way better. QB might as well of be the Mahomes doc.
It is amazing to see how humble and sincere this young man is now compared to the way he used to act in public. He really impressed me to be able to talk about "throwing it all away " and having nobody else to blame but himself. That is not easy to do,much less to millions of viewers. I really hope he stays healthy and continues to help people by sharing his experience strength and hope.
When the bookshelf wallpaper shows up behind Pat mid stream.. after AJ’s falls 🤣😂
Happy for that guy. Seems like a different human being
Zito with the quick flip to the book backdrop behind Pat was classic! 😂
Did he just say wake up in the morning and crack a cold beer? Lmao
I loved watching Johnny play unless he was playing Bama, both games against Bama were close, the Aggies won one 29 to 24 and Bama won the next one 49 to 42, but Johnny had 5 touchdowns during the game, no doubt that guy could move, he was special, he drove Coach Saban crazy!
Kutos to him for being open about feelings that many won’t open about. because of high profile young athletes that don’t want to lose their bag because of their feelings!
My whole life changed @9:03 😂
You guys dropped the ball not asking him and Ricky about how legit the Canadian football league is.
wow, the dude has matured, good for him! Dude was unbelievable in college, for you young bucks that didn't see him play!
salute to the real one, johnny manziel . OG Baby!
"i didn't know what was going on, one day I woke up in Cleveland" lolol. Same bro
Die hard Cleveland fan and still respect Johnny....Glad he is healthy and still around, sure the dog pound feels the same.....
Glad to see him grown and learn from it all. I thought he was gonna be an all time great coming out of college lol.
NFL is another game!
For me he was an unprofessional spoiled jerk that sounds like karma to me that he failed.
He rrly had everything a young college athlete could want!!
Of course he never will be forgotten for what he did @ TX A&M
Cleveland forgives Johnny Manziel. They see themselves in him, we are burnt out too 😂😂
I never believed in his hype, made jokes about him all through his career. After seeing this, I feel like garbage. I'll never make fun of this dude again and I genuinely wish the best for him. Good luck with whatever you have going on bro.
Cool story, dweeb!
Hes a spoiled brat lol.
His freshman year at A&M was ridiculous. He was that dude! Haven’t seen someone like him in college since. Winning the Heisman as a freshmen! His status and story will change lives.
26 passing TDs / 1400 rushing yards and 10 rushing TDs
His freshman total stat line for passing/rushing is unreal
@@MikeyIreland he was playing in the big 12 stupid
Great doc and it’s hard to throw any shade at someone who made mistakes as a young adult, we all make mistakes, they just aren’t as magnified.
Pat is a good interviewer
Im from Cleveland, we don’t hate Johnny, it was some of the most fun years of those horrible horrible losing seasons
This video is comedic gold
I covered Manziel back at A&M for The Batt. Easily, the craziest year of football ive ever covered which really ended on a high with those wins at Bama and at the Cotton Bowl. Johnny Football fever was electric and i have never come close to seeing anything like that since.
Tebow was just as big. But social media was in its infancy then.
Vince Young is another tragic story. More electric more dynamic than Johnny Manziel. Vince Young should’ve gotten the Heisman Trophy in his junior year. His fall was just as deep and tragic as Manziel’s.
Haven’t clicked on y’all this quick in awhile. Missed ya.
Between The look AJ gave that curtain and the fact the interview was serious at that point where they had to dial back in pretty much immediately, this show 😂
He seems genuinely grown up, great to see
Michael Phelps went thru this EXACT same thing .: I applaud Johnny 🙏👏. This is REAL.
Putting the bookcase behind Pat after AJ's horrible tape job failed in the middle of the interview is so awesome. 😂
and most importantly, finding out AJ doesn't read books
AJs background I’m dead ☠️
Johnny got $30-$40 million for this doc, who needs the NFL now?
I have bipolar disorder. My uncle took his life. Thanks Johnny
Love how Zito knew exactly what to do to the background when it panned to Connor to ask a question😂😂 Fuckin love this crew
Pat - really nice interview man. Respectful of his road, but acknowledged the fun side & on the field ability. Not easy mix. Kudos 👍👍👏👏. Glad you're doing better JFF 👍
TexasAM vs. Alabama in 2012 is still crazy
Johnny Manzeil is the reason NO other Freshman should win a Heisman Trophy, too young for Success.
His parents spoiled him to the point everything came easy for Johnny.
Johnny was able to put the work into playing QB for Texas A&M.
Nothing comes Easy in the NFL. Johnny learned that the Hard Way.
Johnnys parents weren’t rich lol
@@Loganunruh ESPN reported his parents were rich and Johnny was driving a Mercedes Benz to College. Also reported by ESPN, look it up.
@@airevolution331 yea his buddy painted that narrative which ppl still believe
@@Loganunruh regardless, his life went to hell.
@@airevolution331 wouldn’t say that, he hit rock bottom, and in the documentary he put all the blame on himself and came to terms with it. Glad to see him back in the light for a good reason
