You feel this nervousness on the phone there?

Sir, I've been trying to make an urgent phone call up there.

I don't think it's something I want to do on an overseas phone.

You got to make some phone calls?

Hanging up the phone.

Prank caller!

Prank call!

Do you feel the nervousness?

Do you feel it?

This is the Packernet After Dark program. If you'd like to call in to this call-in show, the phone number is 608501-07-18. New callers go to the front of the line. Haven't had a new caller in a while. We like new callers around here. New caller, recent new callers, by the way, feel free to call in. We miss you. In the meantime, while we wait for the new callers to call back, T.J. from Alabama, has something to say. Hey, Ryan, T.J. from Alabama, listened to the pod, and, you know, some of the naming rights came up. I mean, I brought it up, but then other people brought it up.

And it got me thinking, you know, what I really don't understand about naming rights is why it's worth $30 million a year or whatever the hell it is.

I can understand commercials.

I mean, you watch, even if you don't want to watch the commercials, the commercials are playing.

You know, they got, you know, some subliminal messages, and I'm sure they've done the science of how to plant faucet, you know, plants, I don't mean, you know, brainwashing, but I just mean advertising.

And where you say, oh, man, I, you know, I'm looking for some carpets and, oh, that's right.

I, you know, remember this name that I got in this commercial.

So, like, I understand why advertising works.

I really don't understand why putting a name on a stadium that doesn't have any of the, you know,

subliminal messages or anything makes much difference.

I mean, I, you got Mercedes-Benz Stadium and Nissan Stadium, and neither one of those,

even if I was a fan of that team, it would make me say, you know what, I needed another car.

I'm getting a Nissan because the Packers Stadium is Nissan Stadium.
