Papa John Schnatter EXPOSES the NFL, Roger Goodell & Bizzare Extortion Plot | Ep 691
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 май 2024
- Ousted from the empire he created and embroiled in a contentious legal battle, the founder and former CEO of Papa John Pizza, John Schnatter, joins “Fearless” for an exclusive interview. Schnatter shares the true story of the events surrounding his exit from the company in 2018 after a racial controversy. Did elements inside his own company collude to “put him out to pasture”? We hear the audio tapes that reveal a coup against the former pizza patriarch. Schnatter slams Commissioner Roger Goodell for his role in the controversy and explains why he fired the NFL. Plus, he reveals the extent of the animosity between Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Goodell. And you’ll want to hear why he says hiring Shaq as the new face of the company was racist. Join Jason for a truly fearless interview with Papa John.

I was a Pizza Hut manager in college when Papa John's came on the scene. They took delivery to a higher level and immediately cut into sales. John came from Pizza Hut. He was railroaded.
Glad he’s fighting back! As someone who fought my own defamation battle against the NYT and Taylor Lorenz I really admire people who stand up to reputation k!llers
Yes you did I saw you on the show the other day, and when you said you forgive her and pray for her you earned my respect!
So glad to see you rising up Ari
Hmu
Good for you. It’s had to get more sleazy and pitiful than Taylor Lorenz. Slime
@@truco6680 thank you and I mean it!
Thanks Jason for having Papa John on
Ill try to keep praying for you both
Yep, pray they both become less hate filled humans.
Not better then AB
Praying he doesn’t say something racist … stop whining hahah😂
Remember being morally sound and truth gets you fired and selling out and lying gets you promoted!
Sad to say, as you wrote, we live in an upside-down society. Will it change? Let us hope so.
The hiring of "Laundry Service" was not by accident. The name alone clandestinely says what that company is about, "Laundry," clean house by whatever means. The Shapiro guy mentioned was the Snake! I'm happy he has the audio tapes 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That name is exceptional ominous for a public relations company.
Jason I'm SO GLAD Your covering this because the way Papa John's Owner lost his company was disgusting & it got overlooked. I lost all respect Shaquille O'neal when that happened. Shaq a Millionaire playing the race card.
Ya i love shaq but
You can tell noones ever told him some
Of the shit he spews is liberal 🐎💩
They kick kap of nfl
@@user-sv3km7ho9e What?
Lol hating on a guy for making a great business move is crazy!😂... Sounds like there's an underlying motive to your nonsensical hate.
God speed John. For years EVERY Wednesday in addition to some other lazy days my family ordered 2 to 4 pies from Papa Johns as we all served in some capacity in Wed night Bible study & there was no time to cook. We have a couple of fantastic neighborhood pizza places but on Wed we knew we could count on John's to be fast reasonable & fresh & they usually even sent us some coupon codes. We completely ceased when John was cancelled. I responded to EVERY subsequent email that we would NEVER order another without a formal apology to & reinstatement of Papa John himself & until then we wouldn't buy a pencil from them even if they all went blind. Glad Jason FINALLY got to this interview. Same goes for the GREAT Jon Gruden AND DeMaurice DOES have some BIG *SS lips. We LOVE Fearless!!!
Always great shows. Love the channel. Thanks for posting.
Great show Jason
You already watched it?
Not better then AB
I have always felt that Goodell was "planted" several years ago in order to help destabilize the NFL....and he has been relatively successful doing it....slowly and incrementally.
and he gets 45 million per year
Same with Adam Silver, both are ruining their leagues/promotions
Man what? Guy has been commissioner for damn near 20 years 😭 So if he was only planted several years ago, what do you call the decade plus preceding that? 😂
@@Jon-cu5hqexactly. I hate Goodell myself but let's not sit here and act like he hasn't done a great job putting more money in every owner and ayers pockets
This. For starters, the NFL is the only major professional sports league that has an odd number of regular season games. Not only that, also putting the Pro Bowl the week before the Superbowl. Making defensive player wear numbers outside of their normal number system. The NFL is basically a hybrid of high school and arena ball.
Good man, got railroaded!
Did he or did he not used the n word at someone? Yes or No?
@hilliarddillepree7717 that's not exactly what happened at all. However, even if he did, there are much worse things that are done.
John “Papa” Schnatter! 👏 Make Pizza Great Again!!! ❤
Papa John's wasBNEVER good pizza 🍕
Since he was ousted, Papa John’s Pizza is crap. I’ll never order one again. Go BallState U.
It's not as good anymore anyways. They changed up some recipes/ingredients
Facts
Buy Jets Pizza.
@@greganderson9969 never heard of Jets Pizza. There is a Soprano’s pizza around the corner that makes great pizza. It maybe as good as mine or close. Pizza takes too much time for me to make. Joe does a great job and I told him so.
@@greganderson9969 awesome Sicilian deep dish
I quit Papa Johns after this. The one near me recently closed. Stinks for the franchisees
This Communist Chinese backed liberal Plants are out to destroy us. You find out that China owns a lot of stuff ESPN through Disney.
And finally Shanghai shindy. Who owns 57% of this company? So who do you really think is Paying these people to do this talk about Who else they own?
So you’re weak?
So you’re weak?
Liberal elites, wokists and cancel culture advocates ruin everything they touch! There's not ONE area of life that we care about (Faith, family bonding, patriotism, sports, entertainment, music, film, business, education, ...EVERYTHING!!) that is not damaged by them.
@@billsfan7883 He made a strong choice. bills are four time chokers.
John is dressed like he is driving a 1970's F150 with a Bud and Sissy plate in the back window.
My FAVORITE pizza! 🍕 Glad to see you, Papa John!
Mine too!
How can you eat that crap? Don’t you have any Italians in your area?
I work at a pizzeria, we make the best pizza in town!! Been doing it my whole life. Papa John's was the better of the chains id say if you were in a jam lol😂
@@lloydbraun6026the Italians want you to pay $50 for a large 1 topping pizza. Sorry man ull stuck with papa
pizza is horrible
Good show 👍
Haven't bought a Papa John Pizza since he left. I'll only buy one when he comes back!
Great interview and eye opening.
I thought you were going to say
I have a passion for pizza 😂😂😂
Me too 🤣😂
Lol i mean isnt it obvious
I thought this would be a boring interview.... I was wrong. Great show Jason! Seldom you find such kind of Alfa man doing the right thing. Excellent.
Great show Jason . Good to get more insight into the Papa John's ordeal and him individually. A principled , kind-hearted man. Good to see him in a happy place and thriving in spite of his challenges.
Amazing episode. Lots of great life advice on betrayal, trust, PR firms, boards of directors, and just business.
An owner that actually cars for there employees, we need more like you.
Papa johns hasn’t been good like literally since papa johns left 🤦🏽🤦🏽
He’s riped!
*ripped?
@@chrisdriver7776😂😂😂
U gay
He cut pizza out of his life..haha
🍏
Well-selected interviews, executed well, are impressive. Nicely done.
Fascinating conversation!
He had an audition for Grease right before the interview.
More like The Outsiders.
More like The Lords of Flatbush
😂😅😂😅
Looks like he’s taking fashion advice from Simon Cowell.
West Side Story
great job as usual Jason. you always slow it down and clarify.
I canceled papa johns when they did this. And used to love papa rewards
As I listened to Mr. Schnatter speak about a healthy corporate leading to healthy franchises, and healthy franchises leading to a healthy corporate, I couldn't help but think of the entertainment industry as a whole and Disney in particular. The "franchises" being Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, etc. Thank you for bringing this gentleman and his situation to light.
Judge people by what they do, not what they say. Never trust who your in business with. Get the HGH and steroids out of the NFL and injuries will go down while lifespan will go up.
My dad always said that , “ never go by what they say, go by what they do “ !
Correct, but you also forget about the shot. That Kelsey promotes. We're finding out more and more. The damages that they could cause.
Candace Owens would disagree with you. Freedom of thought and speech got her fired.
Kyrie Irving just tweeted a title to a movie he didn't do anybody but look at what happened to him.
@@Andrew-uc7hj We are talking two different things. You have freedom of speech but it comes with consequences when it comes to employment. Yet the government can't arrest you for exercising it.
@@Andrew-uc7hj as to Kyrie, I go to a predominantly black church. I was on,y one defending Kyrie as they all condemned him. Why I supported. Like you said, just a tweet. My question is why is everyone condemning Kyrie when Jeff Bezos ( Jewish) is selling the movie on Amazon ? They all changed their minds after espn was told by white liberal masters to reverse stance . Not interested in the movie but why be mad at the teller when the seller has no issue .
If you come back John, I will eat the pizza as my favorite pizza again.
That shits nasty af
@@puzzymonsta69 no accounting for taste.
Amazing interview! Good job Whit!
Great interview!!! Much needed 2 hear his voice 🙌
Great interview Jason , I thoroughly enjoyed it 👍👍
Awesome interview!
What a great and enlightening interview!
Thank you papa John for creating the garlic butter sauce lol
I run my own company with my sons, we are our own PR team.
Agreed
John Schnatter is the only one that can bring back Papa John he has and always has it in his hart hope he fight's to the end.
Great interview. Podcasting is the best.
Another great episode!
Awesome interview.
They all conspired together to get the CASH? POSs. That's really messed up how Papa John got SET UP. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Great interview👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
This was the craziest interview I have ever listened to. I would watch a movie about this story. If there was a book I'd buy 2.
This is the best screenplay being written.
Excellent interview! Whoa-Sounded like a movie script! Papa John looks great! All the best!
Great show
Never had Papa John's but like most cancelings this was wrong
This was fascinating...I knew there was more to this story
he can never trust any of these guys, never, ever
Class act
Goodell destroyed football for me, and many millions of others; players included.
This was a roller coaster
No lie I miss those Sundays with my pops and brothers watching the Cowboys play and my dad would order Papa Johns.. Extra Cheese and Extra Sauce was the foundation. That was 2002-2006.
Papa John's is the best pizza of any chain pizza. If you want something better, you need to go to a local mom and pop shop where they know where they're ingredients are coming from and they cook it by hand.
Edit: I haven't ate in a years and i'm speaking from when I used to eat it back when he was in charge.
Pizza Hut is better. Even Little Caesar's is better because of the price. The only pizza Papa John's doesn't screw up is basic pepperoni pizza. It's trash.
@mikeyerian2562 For me, the order is 1. Papa John's
2. Godfather and Pizza Hut are equal 3. domino's
4. little caesar
@@tentoesdownchristianity Well I've never had Godfather's. Papa Johns, at least in my town, can only do Pepperoni right.
@mikeyerian2562 I do have to say having been a couple different places.
I've noticed pizza Hut had a very different taste in a couple different places. I've only had Papa John's like 5 times bc It wasn't anywhere near my hometown I only had it at the same place every time which was a somewhat high in neighborhood and all the food was good over there so that could be a factor.
Jason is the man.
For 20 years, the only chain store pizza I ever ordered was PJ’s because I liked the quality of the product and the politics and the patriotism of the owner. Since his ouster, and the NFL kneeling debacle, I have not watched a single NFL game since the 2016 pre-season and I have ordered one PJ’s pizza when I moved to a new city & state and figured I would see how it compared to pre-2015 PJ’s. Not the same and Im back to my embargo of PJ’s and the NFL.
If they bring John back, I will buy PJ’s pizzas again - and if the NFL fires Goodell and ends its hostility towards the Republican/Conservative fans, I may watch the NFL again. I was a fan who religiously watched the NFL from 1969-2015 - now I stick to the NCAA and the CFL.
Who cares?? 😂
Way to bounce back from the AB interview
Fearless is the best content in sports analysis.
Agreed, higher standards than ESPN and Fox.
I bought pizza from John when he had his first oven in Mick's bar in Jeffersonville, Indiana. I will not spend a penny with PaPa Johns since he was wrongly ambushed in 2018.
The recipes haven’t been the same since he left no wonder this is personal to Jason 😂
😂😅 I'm screaming
😂😂😂
I'm glad to hear his side of the story.
This was the most revealing interview on business and NFL in years. This should be seen in Mgmt classes in every university on The Go Woke get Broke curriculum on how not to run a business.
Great insight! Turned off the NFL & TV when they took a knee. Thank you Jason and John
What exactly did he even say? I still don’t even know.
Roger Goodell has ruined the NFL's Brand. Still can't believe he assisted in making Colin Kaepernick a hero. Eventually like the NBA their product is going fail as well.
Roger continues to make over 40 million annually
Wow this interview is amazing (hate the pizza , love the man ) this should get 10 million views the N.F.L is scrambling right now to squash this . Brilliant JW Brilliant
This guy is reminding of the opening quote of the movie apocalypto.
That guy was listening to much of HALL&OATS? YOU'RE OUT OF TOUCH? WTF😮😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂
The way the photos stayed up on the screen for all to get a Goood look....
One I’m glad that he’s fighting back because I love Papa Johns 2. . It’s so brave to admit about the ball state
Great interview Jason! Good luck going forward John.
When you print money and you waste money you hurt the middle class. Well said PJJS.
We all know who ✡️
prints the money??
interesting listening to Papa tell the story - I was never a fan of PJ's pizza and in fact the only two times I ever ate his pizza was when the Rays gave away free when Rays threw 10 or more strikeouts in a game......but man I wish I would have shorted that stock when he was ousted
Anthony Robbins? Joe Dispenza? Better not let Pastor Virgil know. He'll have to pray over Papa John's chair.
Damn this would make one hell of a movie.
Thank God for Jason. If he supports John then John must be a good guy.
Papa John is definitely on the smack!.... Jason looks like he's getting hungrier as the interview went on.😂
What a refreshing interview after watching AB earlier in the week. Works better when the subject can put thoughts together cohesively and can stay on subject. Always thought this guy got railroaded
Mr. Schnatter is very impressive. TY FEARLESS for the interview allowing me to witness & hear a God fearing man that represents what I believe in...personally & professionally. God Bless You John.
My question is why haven't you started another chain? Did they deprive you legally of that ability, or have you just have enough?
I think he’s finishing up the lawsuit and all those issues first. My guess is he will return to Poppa John’s. I sure hope he does.
Bro he started this behemoth from the ground up at like age 21. He’s just telling what happened.
@bluevols I know that, bro. I went to BallState.
Papa looking good for his age. Must be on some of that T Juice! Good for him!
Someone doing dishes in the back???
Anybody seen Richie?
I understand where he's coming from about clearing his name. I've done plenty of wrong things in my life and I've owned up to them, but there are certain things that no one can ever say about me. One is I'm a liar and two is I'm a thief if those things were ever mentioned in reference to me I would also want them to be cleared up
Toward the end of the interview Papa John mentions that if he had married his latest girlfriend it would’ve eventually cost him $200 million, if I heard him right so what does that tell you about his net worth? Lol like the rest of us, you gotta think with the big head and not the little one, especially if you’re loaded. By the way, why did the girlfriend try to extort only $300,000 from him given how wealthy he is? What does that say about her?
Earlier in the session, I think he mentioned that Roger Goodell was an alcoholic. Makes sense since he started out in Washington, Pennsylvania as a bartender while going to college it’s amazing that he’s paid at least $44 million for what I don’t know and he has no backbone. Hope Papa John doesn’t get sued for that, even if it’s true about Goodell.
I thought he was goons say he has a PASSION FOR PIZZA!😂😂😂
Stein, Shapiro, Wasserman... interesting
Tell papa the pizza aint the same since he left. Was my favorite pizza.
I think I understand now why so many people go into business for themselves now. Even now you find so many ma and pa husband and wife vendors at flea markets. When I was younger I use to hear people say you aren't missing anything young man. Now I really appreciate what they use to tell me. God people can be so cut throat
Jason, you need to bring on Tyrese Gibson.
Jason went to the same college as my dad😊
Mark Shapiro ran Six Flags when I used to do part-time catering for them.
Great show…..I can’t find Memorial Day in the Bible…….
Is Papa John wearing a toupee?
No.
I have to admit, I thought that too. At least we know he uses “Just For Men”😂😂😂
Ordering papa John’s right now 😌
So it sounds like y’all are ok with him being racist or using the N word ???
