WATCH: The socially distanced Erin Andrews-Aaron Rodgers interview ended with a hug, because of science or something

You can’t make this up. . .

Fox Sports’ Erin Andrews interviewed Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers after the game Christmas Day against the Cleveland Browns and the two stayed quite a distance apart because of Covid and all, but then they hugged after the interview:

Thank goodness Aaron Rodgers and Erin Andrews kept six feet apart during the interview to stay safe … before exchanging a hug together afterward.

How it started. . .

. . .and here’s how it ended when the two thought the camera wasn’t rolling:

It’s all theater:

Erin Andrews stood like 10 feet from Aaron Rodgers on camera.
Interview ends.
Erin Andrews hugs Aaron Rodgers.
All on national TV.
And we wonder why the country is confused as hell.
