It has been a few weeks since the legendary quarterback made a move to the Big Apple, the New York Jets. As he is getting more accustomed to the city, it was evident that a New York traffic-related query was coming his way. That’s exactly what happened in a recent episode of the ‘Boomer and Gio’ morning radio show.

During the show, Rodgers was asked, “What do you do in that spot when you’re like you’re ready to lose your mind in traffic. Like where do you go”? On hearing the question, Rodgers started laughing a bit before replying, “To the darkness”. The three people on the panel immediately burst into laughter after Rodgers’ response.

However, the hosts still wanted a serious answer to their question. Rodgers was asked again, “Like seriously? If you think back on those experiences”. Rodger obliged with his sincere answer saying, “I have like a book on tape that’s going on. Maybe put on some light uh you know instrumental music to calm me down a little bit”. 

The veteran QB’s light-hearted demeanor converted a mundane conversation into a moment of shared laughter. Well, that’s Aaron Rodgers for you!!
