Welcome back to another episode of the Adam Schafter podcast.

In this week's episode, week 18, of the longest NFL regular season we've ever seen,

will be joined by the Hall of Fame quarterback and Fox analyst Troy Aitman, who now essentially is taking on Bud Light with a new light beer called Ate that's being released in Texas.

Aikman and his partners raised the money for their Austin, Texas-based brewery from family and friends,

had some big-time investors, and now are entering the U.S. brewing industry, which is a highly

competitive space.

Aikman will talk about his company eight, as well as the Cowboys' chances of having a successful postseason.

And before we look ahead to Week 18's matchups, some big games that will dictate the

playoff slate, first, a thought back as to what happened Monday night and into the start

of Week 18. Well, we did Monday night countdown from Pittsburgh and got back to my

hotel room there about 10 o'clock, 1030 at night, went to bed because I was leaving the hotel at

4 a.m. to catch a 6 a.m. flight back to New York to tape this podcast with Troy Aikman. And when I

got to bed about 11 o'clock, dozed off at about 1.30 in the morning.

There were some very loud celebratory, I would guess, intoxicated Steelers fans.

Maybe they were drinking eight for all we know.

And they went on and on and on.

And I called Social Security, not to be the bus killed to the party. And I said,

hey, can you please come up to this floor and that room? There is an excessive amount of noise coming.

I have to leave the hotel at 4 in the morning. Security came up, but this noise persisted for about 30 minutes.

And so I would say I was up until about 2 o'clock, fell back asleep. And when the

alarm sounded at 4 a.m., it didn't feel very good. So I got up, got washed up, got ready to leave,

and I walked out in my door, and I started banging on that person's door. Very hard, consistently.
