Pat McAfee Experienced A “Code Red” During RAW, Talks Sprinting To Bathroom, And Ruining Bojangles Plug
We got a “code red.”
On the July 15th, 2024 episode of WWE Monday Night RAW, Pat McAfee experienced a “code red,” which resulted in him having to spring to a bathroom during a commercial break. McAfee referenced the situation at the end of the Bojangles crossover plug Michael Cole pitched coming back from commercial.
On today’s episode of the Pat McAfee Show he went into more detail about the close call on last night’s episode of RAW.
“Code red last night in the middle of the show in Dayton. Commercial break, had to sprint to a bathroom. Commercial break, made it back. Bojangles commercial on the other side, thank you. I was dripping in sweat. I was sprinting through the arena. It was 1,000 degrees in there.”
McAfee went into more detail on the situation, revealing how close he was to being late as RAW came back on the air from commercial, as well as how he accidentally ruined the segment.
“I was told very clearly and very specifically, sprint back, three, two, I slide in seat, headset on, dripping in sweat. Cole said, ‘Don’t touch the cups.’ I’m like, you can’t put these cups…they’re Bojangles cups. As soon as we come back, I’m dripping in sweat, and he starts talking about it. Boom, I Stone Cold [the cups], and I look at them, I put them back down, and I see they have four cameras set up to shoot all the cups. I’m like, ‘Oh, shit,’ I’m trying to line up the cups. I was ruining the entire thing, but I was so pumped it was Bojangles. You can see the cameraman [snapping at me], alright. I’m so sorry I fucked up everything.”
But McAfee didn’t stop there. He went on to talk about Michael Cole hasn’t been during a show in 20 years, and is the most dehydrated human of all time. He goes on to add how his needing to go to the bathroom during RAW has become a weekly thing.
“They say staying hydrated is the way to keep your energy. So I’m just [mimics drinking something], and then I’ll have a coffee every once in a while. Michael Cole hasn’t peed during a show in 20 years. Is this guy the most dehydrated fucking human of all…? How do you sit there for three hours? I’m never gonna survive one of those shows. In the first ten shows I did with them, they laughed at me, like, ‘Oh, gotta go to the potty.’ It’s like, ‘Yeah.’ Now it’s like every single week. It’s like, yeah, we gotta find a bathroom. I am gonna have to go to the bathroom. That’s the first time I’ve ever had a code red, though, ‘Get out of me.’ It was a good set-up, quick in, quick out.”
Will Pat McAfee have to go to the bathroom again during next week’s episode of RAW? Historically speaking… the chances are good.
