Everybody give him a round of applause. Thank you for coming, man.
Adam Pacman Jones
I appreciate you for having me, man.
Tom Segura
It was, it was a real treat that you said yes to this. Running into you at the Tyson fight was awesome because we had only chatted, I think via Instagram. On Instagram. And then one time I think I called in, I was on McAfee and you were, you were there. We chatted for a second. But that was, that was crazy night. Your night ended up crazier than my night. That was wild. What happened that night for people that don't know. Cuz everybody, first of all, so they know. They, everybody thinks that they used a photo of you and me.
Adam Pacman Jones
Right? Like me and you were fighting. Hey, people, come on now. Read the whole book and don't read the cup. Not even the COVID Don't even look.
Tom Segura
At the COVID No, it's crazy.
Adam Pacman Jones
Read the book instead of looking at the COVID But yeah, had an unbelievable night. Got back to the hotel. A couple people was being really racist.
Tom Segura
At the like hotel bars.
Adam Pacman Jones
The hotel bar that didn't even stay there. Never mind you. We are spending 1500 a night for these rooms.
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
It's not cheap, but yeah, a couple words was said. I ain't like the words. I should have smacked the fuck out of them. And I let him. I would have rather went to jail for whooping his ass.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
Then me having a word. Well, I really have a word with the police officer. But I just snatched myself back from.
Tom Segura
From her and that was it.
Adam Pacman Jones
And that was it. So. Yeah. But happens.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
Be all right.
Tom Segura
Other than that, that was a fun night, man.
Adam Pacman Jones
We had an unbelievable night.
Tom Segura
That was a good time. You were the best. Because you know, there's a, there's there like smell me.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah.
Tom Segura
The everybody. You were also the person that was distributing gifts to people. You were giving us the. The cookie boxes. Our whole section was. Was pretty lit. It was pretty fun.
Adam Pacman Jones
Oh yeah.
Tom Segura
What'd you think of the fight itself?
Adam Pacman Jones
The fight was bullshit. But we did. But I will say this.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
I don't know about the people that was at home. What happened with Netflix, but Netflix showed their ass I thought it was one of the best experiences I've been to right. As a fight. And when I look back at it, like you. You do things for experience. You know what I mean?
Tom Segura
Right.
Adam Pacman Jones
And at the end of the day, was the fight that good? No, but the experience of said everything was great, having who's who in the right spots and section, it was unbelievable. But the fight was some. But I enjoyed it. I enjoyed that.
Tom Segura
I gotta tell you, like, that I feel very much the same way. Like, the way that they put on the event was an experience of itself. Being at Jerry world at T. The. The energy in that room was incredible. Everybody attending, we were so hyped. I mean, the fight itself was a letdown, but the experience was very cool.
Adam Pacman Jones
I. I totally agree.
Tom Segura
Totally cool.
Adam Pacman Jones
Mike. I don't know, bro. And I love Mike. Mike. Mike is my guy. He actually had. I got a picture of him and Joni when Joni was like a year and a half. So undeal of respect for him as a person and a friend. But I wasn't sold on the fight.
Tom Segura
No.
Adam Pacman Jones
And I lost a lot of money big with his ass.
Tom Segura
It was weird. It was a very weird thing to see in person. Because if you've watched any amount of boxing, you see there's like a. You know, there's a. A thing that happens is like, you see jabs.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yep.
Tom Segura
And jabs set up openings. And then people attack. And we were like watching this fight and we go like, okay, jab, jab. You see it opening and then you're like. And then no one would attack. And then that happened for eight rounds.
Adam Pacman Jones
For eight rounds. I thought the uppercut was there. The whole night. Yeah, the whole night. And I've watched Mike Tyson time after time after time. At the time. And I know. Yeah. Everybody's saying, oh, yeah, he's 54 years old. That does not matter.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
Aggression and passion for what you do. I can go catch a punt right now.
Tom Segura
I'm sure you could.
Adam Pacman Jones
If I can get at least 45 yards now, I might pull my hamstring if I'm going 80. But as far as quick tip, twitch catching the ball, I don't know if I ever lose that.
Tom Segura
Do you still train, by the way?
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah.
Tom Segura
You do every day?
Adam Pacman Jones
Not every day, but like three, four times a week.
Tom Segura
And what are your. Are your workouts like so one day?
Adam Pacman Jones
Like so for instance, this week, Monday, I ran. So I did two miles on the treadmill. Seven point. No, I should say in y'all terms, seven minute miles. Okay, so two miles, 15, 14 minutes, walk a minute, quick lift. All lightweights on Monday. Nothing over like 30 pounds.
Tom Segura
Just get everything moving.
Adam Pacman Jones
Wednesday is, like, my workout day that I still do DB drills.
Tom Segura
You do?
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah.
Tom Segura
So, like, you're actually, like, backpedaling, twitch.
Adam Pacman Jones
All of that. Because I'm around a lot of kids that I'm teaching right now, and if my shit ain't right, they're like, oh, really? It's good for me to be where I'm at right now and can still move. You know? Know what I mean?
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah. So that's Wednesday, and then Friday is. Is hell Friday. So I do squats, lunges.
Tom Segura
Okay. But your body. Your body's held up like you're in. You're physically. Feel pretty good at me. NFL career is insane.
Adam Pacman Jones
Oh, no, T. My body do hurt. I ain't going to lie.
Tom Segura
It. It does, right?
Adam Pacman Jones
It does. It hurt more, though, when I'm not doing.
Tom Segura
I believe that.
Adam Pacman Jones
So if I take, let's just say, a month off, which. That. That ain't happened since I don't know when, but if I take two weeks off, oh, my neck hurt, my back, hamstrings. But, like, I think when I'm working and not. Not. Not really killing myself.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
Just actively doing something.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
It's a little better on me. When I sit down, I'm like, I ain't gonna lie. Like, of course we got, like, my hand. I can't. Can't even move. Move this one.
Tom Segura
But really, that's just like that.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah.
Tom Segura
All you guys, that. It's one of the things that you notice when you, like, talk to a former NFL player is when they're gesturing or they shake your hand, you'll be like, what's up with that finger?
Adam Pacman Jones
Shit's like, going out of my whole body. I would say my hands hurt the most.
Tom Segura
Seriously.
Adam Pacman Jones
Like, that's why I'm always doing this. Like, if you ever see me doing this. That's good. My shit be like.
Tom Segura
Like nerves and everything.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah. Just catching them punts and punching, tackling.
Tom Segura
What do you. What's the general. Because I've always want. I never caught a punt. What's the first thing you tell a kid who's like, I want to catch a punt? Like, what's the advice you give them about? Is it, like, just natural you can do it, or can you kind of coach someone into it?
Adam Pacman Jones
Definitely can coach somebody. Someone into it. You got to have good hands, though.
Tom Segura
You do.
Adam Pacman Jones
It ain't like you could just go out there and not have hands and do it especially in the NFL. Oh my God. They kick the ball, it's seven second hang time. So 1, 2, the ball still up to 3, 4. God damn. 5, 6, oh, 7, here it comes. You know what I mean?
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
So I think NFL and college is really different because you got the rugby style kicks where in college really not getting that much hang time on it. But it's going in the direction they wanted to go.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
In the league, that rugby kick is a good kick. But you gotta be able to put some, some hang time on there because if you don't got no hang time, if you up under four seconds of a hang time, that's bad. Like that's a touchdown almost.
Tom Segura
Right.
Adam Pacman Jones
Like immediately.
Tom Segura
So like there's a thing. I don't think there's anything really more exciting than watching some. A kickoff taken back, you know? Yeah. And there's certain people like over the, the careers where you go, like, man, this guy's such a dynamic just returner and like you're one of them. Do you. Is there a thing where for you guys that do that, is it all kind of like I'm just gonna take a gamble on a first move and then that kind of sets everything up or. Because you guys have great vision. Right. You have to have great vision.
Adam Pacman Jones
I can speak for me. I've never thought in my whole career that the first guy could tackle me. That's why I didn't fare catch. I think my 1, 2 is way better than this guy right here.
Tom Segura
Yeah. So I'm gonna go.
Adam Pacman Jones
I don't. Every time I catch that, I expect to make a move and beat the first guy. And nine times out of 10, that's pretty much what happened.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
I done got hit a couple of times. But like I, I just, I trust in myself. I trust if I got a step, like if you right there, where you at, I feel I can beat you.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
I don't feel nobody can tackle me right here and me. Because you gotta let me catch the ball. That's first and foremost.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
So my action's gonna. You gotta react to mine.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
And I think my first two steps is one of the best ever. First two steps when it comes to being a punt return and it speak for itself, like, I love history. I'm not throwing no hate on hustle.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
Josh Cribbs, great returner.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
All those guys got a lot of fair catches.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
Instilled in average pretty much more yards than me. I don't fair catch the ball.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
And I think that's the difference between me and a lot of other returners. If you go back and look and see, oh, how many times did he faircase the ball in his whole career? Probably 11 times.
Tom Segura
For real. 11 times.
Adam Pacman Jones
Maybe.
Tom Segura
But this is because.
Adam Pacman Jones
Maybe.
Tom Segura
But see, the fair catch thing from. For you, I think is indicative of your style. Like, you're a dog, man. Like, yeah, that's. So it makes sense that you're like, it. I'm not even gonna do it. You don't even gonna do it.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah, it is.
Tom Segura
It's.
Adam Pacman Jones
Oh, no, it's. I just. I believe in me and I trust the guys up in front of me. Now, I do cuss they ass out if I get hit. And I only got hit a couple of times, but sometimes I got here, you can see me running up, going after my guy like, yo, what the are you doing, bro?
Tom Segura
People also don't realize that, like, we always see guys on television, especially if you're really athletic, and you just assume this guy just has some natural ability and that's it. And like, from. I told you, from people that I've spoken to that played with you, they're like, this guy in practice is a animal. Like, you have a great reputation for playing hard at all times.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah. I always tell people, like, I've never had a problem with no owner, no coach I've played for. My problem was some when I left there, going to Magic City or some like that and just enjoy myself. And there's always one again. There goes Adam.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
Every year, this oil economy. Leave me the alone. No, I'm just playing. Yeah.

Yeah, I party hard, but I work my ass off.
Tom Segura
I mean, you even practice, so I've heard. Air Force One.
Adam Pacman Jones
Air Force One. And still, still lock everything up. That was my thing when I first started. I'm like, bro, I'm not wearing no cleats. I'm coming out here, brand new A1s. Let's go. Let's get this working. We got 12 periods, all right? I'm go out here early, catch punts. I'm gonna lock his ass down. And I've always been like that. Like, you gotta go ask my. My little league coaches, my. My high school coach. Like, I was the guy. They had to be like, hey, yo, like, even Rodriguez. Coach Rod at West Virginia Shout out Coach Rod Dug Vu. He's just like, yo, Pack, I'mma take you out of practice. I'm like, no, you ain't, bro. No, you ain't. Because I'm pushing this get better. You going to take me out because I'm going 100 miles per hour.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
And some days, for real. So they would be like, tackle, though, and we would be like, in. Like, they used to hate that.
Tom Segura
That you would tackle. Yeah, yeah. Oh, especially now it's even worse.
Adam Pacman Jones
Me and Chris got in so many fights because of that. Like, that's how we became like, tight. Locked in, locked in. I would push him to the limit. Like, I mean, push him to the limit. He was. He was well gifted. But, like, he ain't enjoy. He. He didn't enjoy practice at first, and I kind of changed that mentality. If you don't enjoy practice, I'm just gonna dominate your ass and talk shit to you the whole break.
Tom Segura
Are you? Because I'm not surprised. This were You a massive talker?
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah. Hell yeah.
Tom Segura
In games too.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah.
Tom Segura
What kind of would you say I.
Adam Pacman Jones
Got more liquid than liquid death?
Tom Segura
Would you like, was it.
Adam Pacman Jones
So I used to go through, you know how they give you the. The brochure before the game, see all the players?
Tom Segura
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
I would go through the like, who am I playing today? Let me see which one of these look soft? And I would Google them. Really? Not three things about them. And I would just tag them. Tag them the whole game. I mean, non stop.
Tom Segura
Something about their mom or their girl.
Adam Pacman Jones
Everything.
Tom Segura
Everything.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah, I heard your girl left you. How many step kids you got, bro? Like, I would, I would. I was bad.
Tom Segura
Yeah, I believe it.
Adam Pacman Jones
It was bad.
Tom Segura
Like you're like.
Adam Pacman Jones
Now that I look back on edit. Yeah, it was bad.
Tom Segura
Who. Okay. Because this thing about. This is what we always hear about playing against the shit talker. Right? This is like what you hear from other great athletes. They go, guys like you are doing that to get in your head. And so the only way to win that battle is to not let it get to you. Right. So there's some people who can just go say whatever you want. I'm never going to engage or respond to that. So you had to, I'm sure, face some people that you're like, this guy just doesn't break on this. And then some people that do break. Yeah. And you. And then you win. You've won that battle.
Adam Pacman Jones
AB was one of those guys that never broke. I would talk so much shit to him and like, he would be catching the ball. Like you post to catch the ball, nigga. Your daddy went pro. Like, you get to skip the fucking line, bro.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
Like he was just shut up. Packing.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
Do his little first down thing to was a good talker, was he? Yes. When I played against him, I said a lot of to him when I played with him in Dallas. I am pretty. I ain't like we would talk chirping practice. Like, yeah, you can sit on hard knots, but it wasn't that bad. But it's a couple guys that just couldn't take it though, right? I'm talking about you can two drop balls.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
In the tank.
Tom Segura
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
I'mma tell you. I'm going tell you the one who really couldn't take it.
Tom Segura
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
Trash, what's his name went to Ohio State. Play with Cleveland. God damn it.
Tom Segura
I can't even think his name went to Ohio State.
Adam Pacman Jones
Oh, we should know this. He was garbage. Garbage. Damn. What's his name? I don't know. His name. But if you look at the clip, it's garbage. Y'all know what I'm talking about. Back there in the back. Help me out. Terrell Pry.

Tom Segura
It's probably Adam Jones. Yeah, there you go.
Adam Pacman Jones
Garbage. Garbage. There it is, right? Cincinnati Bengals thanked the Cleveland Browns 2310, sending them even into a more. Wait, there's still more garbage. Garbage. Happy. We won.
Tom Segura

Oh, he was talking.
Adam Pacman Jones
He was talking to the media earlier in the week, and I told him, like, bro, you ain't gonna catch a ball, bro. Are you a quarterback? They got you playing receiver. You suck. Yeah, I think he had one catch for like four or five yards.
Tom Segura
God damn.
Adam Pacman Jones
He couldn't take it, though.
Tom Segura
He couldn't take it throughout the game.
Adam Pacman Jones
I mean, like, I'm. Bro, I'm looking in his eyes. He had the expression, like, will you just please.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
Just leave me alone.
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
Like, no, I'm on your ass today, buddy, all the way till we leave this. And back in the locker room, garbage. Best part of that clip, right? It was a garbage can right there. I was like, hey, y'all see Terra prime that's in there? Yeah. It was hilarious, bro.
Tom Segura
Oh, my God. So did you sense you had to have games, too, where you sense fear in the other person? Right. You could just see it in their eyes like, that.
Adam Pacman Jones
They're in the league or college.
Tom Segura
I don't know. I guess both. Apparently not in the league.
Adam Pacman Jones
Pretty much everybody dogs pretty much to a certain extent. Then you got a couple guys that. That's. That make it. Because of. They know. Or.

Adam Pacman Jones
And such and such like that. But in. In college. Yeah, a lot of guys.
Tom Segura
A lot of.
Adam Pacman Jones
I've seen soft or. Soft.
Tom Segura
Yeah. When you go, okay, I've always wondered about the. The leveling up for players, because I know you're a stud athlete in high school. You know, you're. You're great at football, you're great at track, you're great at basketball, all these things. You go. You go to West Virginia. But when you're a kid, who's going to like the next level and you're a freshman. Before you start, do you. Is it normal? Like, do you feel any self doubt or like, am I good enough before you prove that you are.
Adam Pacman Jones
Oh, you asked me.
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, no, no.
Adam Pacman Jones
First day I walked in West Virginia, I told ass, y'all, I got three years here. I'm getting the fuck outta here.

Like, I've never thought of really doing anything else growing up as a kid. You know what I mean?
Tom Segura

Wow.
Adam Pacman Jones
And like, I have the palm. And it's the crazy part about it. It's on like a. A wash sheet. I don't know how to explain it. Like, it's blue coming down the brown. And I drew a picture at the end of it of a bunny on a bike throwing up the deuces. I don't know how did I. How I thought of that?
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
At that age. But yeah. Like, I've never had intentions of doing.

Just so mentally.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
It don't drain me.
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Adam Pacman Jones
But yeah, Chain Gailey was the coach at Georgia Tech at that time. Yeah, I almost went to Georgia Tech. And then my boy Karen Fox, who went to Georgia Tech, who went to high school with me, played in the league for a good little while. He was like, bro, this school shit hard as fuck. I was like, oh, really? He's like, yeah, man, we gotta go every. I said, y'all doing all the work. That one's off the list.
Tom Segura

Tom Segura
Coach R is a player's coach.
Adam Pacman Jones
No, Coach R is a play. A coach, coach, coach. Ride first of all, he's disciplined, but he's what I needed. I should say this, like, because I've never really. I don't like soft coaches.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
I want you to tell me when I'm right, when I'm wrong, how I'm doing it, the way to do it better. It's your fucking job. You know what I'm saying? And some guys, they like the soft coaches. Like Coach Rod is. He's a player's coach, but he. You. If you want to get better, you want to win, you need a coach, you know, kind of coach you want. Yeah. He's not one of them soft, easygoing coaches. It come from the bottom of his heart, though. He's a great dude.

Tom Segura
Do you feel the same way when you arrive with the Tennessee Titans? You're. You're in the NFL now. It's like, I'm here to.
Adam Pacman Jones
I was here to stay at Tennessee.

It's a rough upbringing, obviously, in a tough, tough part of Atlanta. Now you're in the league. How crazy is getting a first NFL check?
Adam Pacman Jones
Oh, it was crazy. I'll never forget it. It's different between having a couple hundred thousand.

Yeah, that's. That is pretty cool.
Adam Pacman Jones

Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
I'm a big car guy, though.
Tom Segura
Sure. Yeah. What was your first big car like? Big ticket car.
Adam Pacman Jones
First. Well, I bought a Cadillac. That's when the EXT was out. The CTL convertibles, the first year they came out, 2006. I spent like a dollar twenty on that one. But the Bentley, I had been. Bentley and Lambo.
Tom Segura
Damn.
Adam Pacman Jones
Two months later, I think I spent like 190, 200 on the Bentley. The Lambo was like 225.
Tom Segura
Yeah. Yeah. This is. It's good, man.
Adam Pacman Jones
Cadillac truck the week after that.
Tom Segura
So you went hard.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah, I did. I probably like. I was good, though, because I took some of that and couldn't touch it for like 10 years.
Tom Segura
Oh, you put it in, like, in a. Like a trust account or something?
Adam Pacman Jones
I don't want to tell everybody my business.
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah, but sure.
Adam Pacman Jones
Wait, where you put yours at?
Tom Segura
Trust account?

Adam Pacman Jones
Touch me again, I'm gonna whoop your ass there. You get some of this money. Yeah. So motorcycles, what? Motorcycle guy. Four wheelers.
Tom Segura
If you look back on, you know, crazy purchases. What is the dumbest shit you ever bought? Like, you know when people are like.
Adam Pacman Jones
Well, I went to Miami one weekend, bro, and this is like my second time going to Miami. And I got in like a bottle war.
Tom Segura
Oh.
Adam Pacman Jones
I like at a club, which was the dumbest ever.
Tom Segura
Like some other dudes. Like, I got four bottles, like that kind of thing. And you're like, I'm gonna get eight bottles.
Adam Pacman Jones
Like, yeah, this one. Trina and Trick Daddy. That's when this was 2000. 2006. That's when the beach was cracking. Like, everybody was there. Like, yeah, who's. Who was on South Beach? And I just so happened to be sitting right beside them. And I was like, whatever bottle they buy, I'm gonna buy two of them. Two? Two more?
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
And what I didn't realize was I don't think they was paying for their ballers.
Tom Segura
They were getting free bottles.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah.
Tom Segura
And they were like, but you.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah. And my tab ended up being like $76,000. So that. Dude, I don't know who ordered all that, but bro. No, no. And at that time, I didn't even know what Cristal was. Them fucking bottles was like $2,000.
Tom Segura
Come on, man.
Adam Pacman Jones
I'm like, bro, you know, I'm young, you know, not thinking how high these bottles really are.
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
That was probably one of the dumbest things that I've. Would like to take back that eighty thousand dollar tab.
Tom Segura
Everything else, like, what's the most you ever dropped in a strip club?
Adam Pacman Jones
80K.
Tom Segura
That's pretty intense.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah. I won a million dollars in Vegas.
Tom Segura
Oh.
Adam Pacman Jones
When I got in trouble that night.
Tom Segura
Really?
Adam Pacman Jones
And I took a hundred thousand dollars to the club.
Tom Segura
You won, but you won a million before. A million dollars on tables or.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah, playing craps. That was the night I got in trouble, bro.
Tom Segura
Really?
Adam Pacman Jones
They rolled me back to. I was at the Palms at the Michael Jordan party. I can't tell all this like how I want to tell it, but I was at the Michael Jordan party at the Palms Hotel and I end up winning a million dollars. They took me back in a Brink truck back to Caesar's Hotel. I had the hotel floor at Caesars. And you know how much a million dollars is in cash? And honeys, I'm quite sure you know, that's a lot of money.
Tom Segura
It's a lot.
Adam Pacman Jones
It's the equivalent of. How do I explain this? Maybe a hundred thousand ones.
Tom Segura
Yeah, it's just like.
Adam Pacman Jones
So I. I have enough room to put the money in. So I had to go to all of the rooms that. All of my. I had like 20 rooms on. On the top floor.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
I'm going to each room, putting in the code, putting 50 in this one.
Tom Segura
Oh, really?
Adam Pacman Jones
Because I had nowhere.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
The whole money. And I was damn sure wasn't gonna leave my whole million dollars in one room. My stepdad actually Rip Red, he didn't even leave the room after I won a million. He just stayed. Stayed in the room for me.
Tom Segura
Really? Just like. Yeah. Yeah, that's cool.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah, he's one on one. I miss him, bro. He was a good dude. Good for me.
Tom Segura
Yeah. That is also. You talk about experiences. I can't imagine the rush of winning a million dollars.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah. So the most. Most I've won is a million one time. I don't want like 300, 000 a couple times. I don't lost the most I've lost. That's a good question. Probably like 300.
Tom Segura
Craps.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah.
Tom Segura
That's your game.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah, I play blackjack too, but like.
Tom Segura
I don't understand craps. I don't know, like, when I like. Blackjack is a game like I, you know, learned a long time ago. It's like, it's like a comfort thing where I go, I see the blackjack table, I go, I sit, I see craps. Everyone's having a great time, but I'm like, I don't know what's going on.
Adam Pacman Jones
I love it because I'm saying seven. You out of there?
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
On the first row, you went on 7. 11. If you roll 2, 3, or 12, you lose in the casino. You don't. You don't lose up top when you roll 12. But I was betting $4,000 a roll, every number every now. So every time I'm rolling, unless I go out, I'm winning 4,000.
Tom Segura
Wow.
Adam Pacman Jones
So I caught fire.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
I don't. Caught fire a couple times, but. And I'll take them down. Like, so let's just say I hit six numbers at 4,000. 5, 4, 6, 5, 9. And then I turn them off and then let it go. But like, yeah, I have some good. A lot of really good times.
Tom Segura
I bet, man. We should play crap sometime. You take me to play craps? Yeah, I'll go play craps with you.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah, let's do it.
Tom Segura
Let's do it. I'll have a Vegas date later this year.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah, okay.
Tom Segura
All right, cool. Now, on a trouble night, you said you got in trouble that night. You got trouble a couple times.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah.
Tom Segura
What is like, did you ever have any wild happen locked up, or was it always. Pretty much.
Adam Pacman Jones
I'm a ticking time bomb. Like, I can. I hold my own.
Tom Segura
I believe that.
Adam Pacman Jones
And I've never had. Now, with me and the officer. Yeah, probably. But like, inmates.
Tom Segura
No.
Adam Pacman Jones
No. Because I'm coming in on time. First of all, I'm probably pissed off that I'm in there whenever I'm going.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
And a couple times, I'm probably a little bruised up. Yeah, yeah, not bruised, boozed.
Tom Segura
Yeah. And so you boozed up. So everyone's like, staying clear. You mean, like, people just know?
Adam Pacman Jones
I don't know.
Tom Segura
But no one's like, oh, you're famous.
Adam Pacman Jones
Like, that's crazy that you asked me that, T. Because I never think about that.
Tom Segura
Really.
Adam Pacman Jones
Out of all the million times I've been to jail.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
It's normal. Like, all right, hurry up the up and come get me.
Tom Segura
Yeah, it's.
Adam Pacman Jones
And if I got to sit in there a couple days, I don't even want nobody to talk to me.
Tom Segura
Yeah. And no one does. But I'm just saying, like, because they.
Adam Pacman Jones
Do, because they know who I am.
Tom Segura
That's what I'm saying.
Adam Pacman Jones
Go ahead and cut it off quick. Don't talk to me, man. You know, Pac man, shut the up crazy.
Tom Segura
Okay.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Okay. Okay, okay.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah. Leave me the alone.
Tom Segura
What do you tell a young guy? What would you tell, like, a rookie today about going into the league? What's your advice to that guy? Maybe even a young Pac man, like.
Adam Pacman Jones
For my son, what I would do. First of all, don't do what I do. Do what I tell you. You know what I mean? Everything is a business. Like, coming from college to the league, I see a lot of guys that forget like this. This ain't college, bro. This is business. We don't win. Guess what? The coach is getting fired. The GM is getting fired. There's gonna be some new in here in four years. So it's. It's really. It's big business. Like, and you are what you put out. You're only good is your last performance. And I understood that. Like, I teach my son, like, he's probably third fastest kid in the nation.
Tom Segura
Third fastest kid in the nation.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah. He's real deal, but he understands the process. Like, I have to tell this motherfucker hey, yo, bro, put the ball down. Like, stop dunking the ball. We got damn near six basketball goals all the way around the house. Like, he's just always like, he's, he's. He Understand. And I will say this. It's easier for him to understand because he got a picture in front of him of me, Chris, a lot of vontes, people that he's around. T higg that he. He kind of tunnel vision.
Tom Segura
Yeah. I guess he can emulate you guys. Like.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah. It's hard to explain it, but like, I guess the best way to say it is like you are what you hang around.
Tom Segura
Is his favorite basketball or football. Football. Yeah. And he's fast as.
Adam Pacman Jones
Man, this little. So fast. Like, he way better than me. Like, I was not what he was at seven years. He just turned seven, bro.
Tom Segura
Seven.
Adam Pacman Jones
This. Just turned seven and can run 100 up under 13 seconds.
Tom Segura
Wow.
Adam Pacman Jones
I bet you you can beat him right now in 100 yard dash.
Tom Segura
I bet. I. I would take your bet on it. No, I would bet against me as well. I will bet anybody as much as you want that his kid will beat me. Go ahead and take that action.
Adam Pacman Jones

Tom Segura
That's true.
Adam Pacman Jones
And everybody ain't gonna be a track star. That ain't for everybody. I'm not pushing that owner. But like, yeah, hey, this is some money over here that you might not want to leave on the table.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones
You can get this to go build something else. And that's what I'm trying to drill in our head right now.
Tom Segura
When I look back at NFL stuff, people always, you know, if they're talking about dirty players, they always Talk. They always talk about defensive players. But I'm wondering, do you. Do you look back, do you ever think of any offensive player? Yeah.
Adam Pacman Jones

How incredible is seeing a white receiver, corner or punt returner in the NFL? Don't you go, man. You're pretty special.

Dan Amadola, Danny. I had. Danny was on my team. He was on practice squad. He wasn't even on the roster, really, when we first went to Dallas. And I would tell them, like, this little motherfucker here got juice. Really, like, got juice. And a lot of guys, I should say white receivers. A lot of white receivers get looking over because they just don't run that fast, but they play fast.
Tom Segura

Adam Pacman Jones

I. I didn't think you were dumb, just that I thought you were pretty dumb.

Tom Segura
No, I didn't. I didn't think you were dumb. What I was saying was that you.
Adam Pacman Jones
Can tell the truth, bro.
Tom Segura
I'm telling the truth, man. I'm saying that you don't expect sometimes when you meet somebody for them to volunteer right away. Their philosophy and their introspection, and it usually indicates that somebody is a deeper thinker than you would otherwise believe. People read headlines about you. That's not like, fully knowing somebody.
Adam Pacman Jones
Yeah.
Tom Segura
So I think it was a surprise, and I think it's something that people would be surprised to know. He's not dumb.
Adam Pacman Jones
Well, he just said he thought I was dumb. People keep thinking that I'm dumb.
Tom Segura
I don't think you're dumb.
Adam Pacman Jones
It might help me in the long run. I am dumb. I'm dumb.
Tom Segura
Okay.
Adam Pacman Jones
How the. I'm in this dumb. Oh, my God.
Tom Segura
You're not dumb, dude.
Adam Pacman Jones

With Pat McAfee, and you've been part of that show, and it's fun to watch you and those guys. Like, it's an entertaining, fun show, and.

Adam Pacman Jones
So, yeah, it's been good, man. I'VE truly been blessed to be around a lot of good people, to learn a lot of good things. And I don't take it for granted to have a relationship with a certain network of people is what they say it's not about. It ain't about what is. How does it say it? Say it's not about what you know. It's about who you know. It's a lot of smart people in this world, and I'm definitely not the smartest person in the world. I'm very dumb. And it's good to have smart people around my dumbass because they can help me, I guess, get smarter. You know what I mean? And I don't take it for granted. Definitely don't take for granted, like, all my relationships, I kind of, like, keep them right here tucked in.
