• Brady’s Response:

  • Defends Amazon efficiency, notes economies of scale with standard box sizes, and pivots to the real problem: having to break down boxes for the recycling bin.

[LaVar Arrington]

Good morning on Friday morning, Tony Danza. I knew it was Tony Danza. Okay. What random. Yeah. Oh, he's doing a sleep mattress commercial. You know, he's got back pains like me. You know, old man issues. Yeah, I don't.

[Brady Quinn]

I. I don't think it's from the same things, you know.

[LaVar Arrington]

Oh, I use my back a lot, you know? I know. So it's overused, and now it's battered and bruised.

[Jonas Knox]

By the way, is curling the only event on. I mean, we're doing.

[Brady Quinn]

As of the. As of right now. Yes.

[LaVar Arrington]

But this is a big one now.

[Brady Quinn]

I mean, is it time for the. Our Winter Olympics update?

[Jonas Knox]

Are we ready to go? I mean, I don't know.

[Brady Quinn]

Yeah.

[Jonas Knox]

This is massive stuff here. All right. So apparently we're blown away how they're

[LaVar Arrington]

able to get so close to the ice like that. Dang. Come on, let's get that update. That music is going. The heart rate is raising. The excitement feels good.

[Brady Quinn]

We talked about this. Eat some rock earlier this week.

[LaVar Arrington]

Let's go.

[Jonas Knox]

Q.

[Brady Quinn]

We were concerned about the United States. Yeah. We were continuing to claim their dominance in the Olympics.

[LaVar Arrington]

We need medals.

[Brady Quinn]

At one point, they were tied for third, but guess what? They have now moved up to number two. Yes. 27 total medals. That's right. Yes. Tied for second most goals. Now. Norway's. Norway's the number one. We're probably number two.

[Fox Sports Radio Announcer]

Number one.

[LaVar Arrington]

Dang.

[Brady Quinn]

Yeah. Norway is seven golds ahead of us at the moment. Seven medals ahead of us at the moment. So we got some work to do. I'm not sure there's enough time. However, as of right now, those are rookie numbers. The United States taking on the Swiss in the semifinals for curling, which, by the way, I've noticed this. Is this the most relatable sport in the Olympics? Because everyone watches it and goes, oh, I could do that.

[Jonas Knox]

I'm telling you, man, it's shuffleboard on ice. It's great.

[LaVar Arrington]

They have.

[Brady Quinn]

I think they've got, like, locations like, you know, there's the ax throwing places. I'm pretty sure there's curling places, too.

[Jonas Knox]

Nowhere out here that. That I. That. That I'm under Chris Perfette, our technical

[Brady Quinn]

producer, besides windshield this morning.

[LaVar Arrington]

What you got? Dang.

[Fox Sports Radio Announcer]

No, I think we were just looking this up yesterday. There is one I believe in, like North Hollywood. There is a Hollywood.

[Jonas Knox]

Curling.

[LaVar Arrington]

We might have to go. We might have to go do this.

[Brady Quinn]

Yo ass in there.

[LaVar Arrington]

We might have to go. And speaking of ice. Shouts out to my girl Tessa. Janeki. That's right. Gold medalists. Women's hockey. We are, baby.

[Fox Sports Radio Announcer]

Yeah.

[Brady Quinn]

We have the sound. We have Kenny Albert's call.

[Jonas Knox]

I believe we do the Kenny Albert call.

[Brady Quinn]

Can we play what has been the greatest moment in the Winter Olympics so far for the United States? Let's hear it.

[Jonas Knox]

I mean, I thought for sure it was the curling scandal. Or was that only. Was that exclusive to Canada?

[Brady Quinn]

That was exclusive to Canada, and that's nothing to do with the United States.

[Jonas Knox]

So that's a bummer. That's a real bummer, huh? All right, so we.

[LaVar Arrington]

Look at that.

[Jonas Knox]

Look at that.

[LaVar Arrington]

Glad.

[Jonas Knox]

Courtesy of NBC.

[Brady Quinn]

On the ice, the outlet pass for Keller, a defenseman. Nice move. Cuts to the net. Score. Megan Keller, the overtime hero. The United States wins gold and Milan. How about a call by Kenny Albert? What a play. For anyone who watched, it was 3v3 in overtime. And really, if you watch the game in general, Canada had us dead to rights, but at the end of it, we're able to tie it up, I think, what, under two minutes left, take it into overtime, 3v3, and the United States does the rest. That was a cool moment like that. That was one of those moments that I'm not trying to compare it to miracle. It's not. It's not that. But for this Winter Olympics, seeing that team, the celebration, everything. El. That got me. That got me a little choked up. I felt patriotic watching. Now, I don't know how you guys.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah, you got choked up about that.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yes.

[Brady Quinn]

I love it. Dude. Here's the thing. My wife's an Olympian. So, like, I've been through this process, you know, watching her go for it, watching her represent the United States, her then being a part of it and watching the girls that I've known kind of grow up into it and then have their chance to compete and go represent the United States, it hits close to home, man. Like, it's. It's as patriotic as it gets. I know you'd sell out our country in a heartbeat, Jonas, but that's not where I am.

[Jonas Knox]

Oh, if I could win Some money on it and bought a bet. Yeah, exactly. It is what it is.

[LaVar Arrington]

That's crazy.

[Brady Quinn]

You're probably betting on the Swiss right now, the Swiss women in curling, because

[Jonas Knox]

they're up, you know. That's a great point. You'll probably get some live lines on that if you're, if you're looking around hard enough. Yeah.

[Brady Quinn]

Why not go in the, go to the poly market.

[Jonas Knox]

By the way, Lavar, what were you saying about it?

[LaVar Arrington]

Too late. It's already gone. It already came and went.

[Jonas Knox]

It was.

[LaVar Arrington]

Did y' all hear me?

[Brady Quinn]

Did y' all hear.

[LaVar Arrington]

Y' all heard me back there?

[Jonas Knox]

That was a, that, that was a great game. We were talking about a little bit

[LaVar Arrington]

yesterday that was flexing on us, you know.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah.

[LaVar Arrington]

My wife was an Olympian.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah, everyone doesn't get to marry an Olympian.

[Brady Quinn]

Who, who watched that and didn't think, this is awesome. No, it was so proud. So. And by the way too, the way they celebrated after, you know, being proud of being an American. Can't say that for all the Olympic athletes, some who've taken a different approach.

[Jonas Knox]

We were, we were talking about it yesterday. That it, it's almost like the bowl season where you've got like the, it's fun to have these bowl games mixed in throughout the week. The, you know, the 711 bowl or whatever it is that just. They throw in throughout the week, the matinee bowl games. But then at a certain point you go, all right, let's get to the, let's get to the real bowl games here. And it feels like that with hockey as today we've got the semifinals. You had the women yesterday. Great game, big win in overtime. Great call by Kenny Albert. Like now it feels like we're getting down to things here. We're closing up shop in Italy and Lavar can't get enough of the scrubbing of the ice.

[LaVar Arrington]

Do guys do curling? Do guys.

[Jonas Knox]

Okay, yeah.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yes.

[Jonas Knox]

They cheat. That's.

[Brady Quinn]

That was the whole scuttlebutt between. I think it was. Was it the, was it the Swedes in Canada? Because the guy was pushing off with his finger and the Swedes set up a camera to catch him because they knew. They thought they were cheating. I think, I would think the, the women's team for Canada was accused as well.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah.

[LaVar Arrington]

Y think that whole, the vigorousness in nature of how they sweep, it's just, I don't know.

[Brady Quinn]

Here's the age old question, as we've said the entire Winter Olympics. How do you know you're good at that?

[LaVar Arrington]

You know, how did you figure it out?

[Brady Quinn]

How did you figure it out?

[LaVar Arrington]

Like, you are. You are sweeping the hell out of that kitchen floor like you ever thought about.

[Brady Quinn]

I'm sure Lavar was in Happy Valley and looked over and goes, you should get into curling.

[Jonas Knox]

Is the down.

[Brady Quinn]

Is the over your side down? Whatever.

[Jonas Knox]

Is the curling committee? Like, are they.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yeah. Yeah, Come on, let's go curling. Yeah.

[Brady Quinn]

What is wrong with you, dude?

[LaVar Arrington]

Curling.

[Brady Quinn]

Lavar was next to two, and he was. You know, you guys both should get into curling.

[Jonas Knox]

I'm saying, like, are. Are they going around to hotels recruiting housekeepers? Like, hey, how do you clean? How do you sweep? Like, we could really use racist. I said it's not racist.

[LaVar Arrington]

Sure do know how to handle that

[Brady Quinn]

rock in that hole.

[Jonas Knox]

Is that racist?

[LaVar Arrington]

You're so good.

[Jonas Knox]

You're like, settle down just a little bit. Relax, Jerry.

[Brady Quinn]

You're.

[LaVar Arrington]

You're like. You're like a gold medalist.

[Jonas Knox]

Got issues, man.

[Brady Quinn]

All right, this. This may sound like a dumb question, but as I've watched Curling 2, I'm kind of curious who's more important, the person actually pushing off or the scrubbers?

[LaVar Arrington]

It's gotta be the pusher.

[Brady Quinn]

I don't know.

[LaVar Arrington]

This gotta be the one that's handling that rock.

[Jonas Knox]

The scrubbers really guided along.

[LaVar Arrington]

I mean, they really do.

[Jonas Knox]

They're showing one on TV right now that just looks like the rhythm guitarist, and there's a real lead in the. In the. In the duo. Like, the one that's really guiding everything. The other one there didn't even put dirt.

[Brady Quinn]

What?

[Jonas Knox]

I don't even know what that is. Is that a. Like a swifter? Like a Swiffer?

[LaVar Arrington]

That's what they look like.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah. Or.

[LaVar Arrington]

Or like the. The sticks that they use to clean cars, like trucks, when you're too short to top part of the truck. Like. Like, you put that. That bad boy in the. In the soapy water and then go up top and be up on. That's what that looks like. That's what I think it is, actually.

[Brady Quinn]

Jonas told me the men are better than the women because men are better drivers.

[Jonas Knox]

Dang.

[Brady Quinn]

He said that to me when I was talking to him earlier this week about it.

[Jonas Knox]

That was off air. I don't know why you bring that up now. Just come on, man.

[LaVar Arrington]

I would be tremendously disappointed if guys were better curlers than women. I would be just me personally, just because in my mind, what curling looks like and how. Like that right there, how you got to, like, like, kneel down like that, like that. That. That position of how you got to stretch it on out and. And handle that rock the way. I would be disappointed if a man could do that better than a woman. That's all I'm saying. I don't know. I mean, I do know. Maybe. I'll take it. I'll live in that.

[Brady Quinn]

Some more updates.

[Jonas Knox]

Yes.

[Brady Quinn]

One gold in the women's individual figure skating event.

[LaVar Arrington]

Huge.

[Brady Quinn]

Hasn't happened in 24 years, I believe. The first American show since Sarah hughes back in 2002. Speed skater Jordan Stoles took silver in the 1500 meter. So there you go.

[LaVar Arrington]

Can we go to this speed skating dip where the strategy was the. The. The. The first skater of the team. Because this was teams and they had

[Brady Quinn]

to do, like, pursuit.

[LaVar Arrington]

Did you see that? Where the jumped out? Like, everybody goes slow, but this one jumped out and just flew out and caught up from behind and just slowed down from behind. They're going around. The final lap. Bell goes off, but it's only for her. So everybody starts hauling ass to go win it. Then they realize they didn't win. The second teammate of the person that won ends up being second because they knew to go. Because everybody slowed down because they thought the race was. They thought they had finished the race because they crossed the line after the bell. It was freaking brilliant. But then it made me think, are they dumb? Like, you saw the person speed out. I. I would have thought, like, the first thing I would have thought was, we gotta catch him. Like, you mother. You mother lover. How you. How you just jump out there so fast and just go like. But everybody just stayed slow. And she actually caught up to him and just rolled behind them until the end. And then when the final bell hits, she went, they went. Everybody went. And then when the race was over, like, they. They. They went past the finish line, thought they were done. They still had another lap to go and slowed down. So the guy knew. The teammate knew that that's what happened. Ends up flying past all of them in that moment of indecision and gets the silver. They got the gold and the silver. Super dope. I don't know how they pulled it off. You took the chance in the Olympics and it worked. Like, that's historical, if you ask me.

[Jonas Knox]

It's really. The Winter Olympics are very unrelatable, especially if you grow up in Southern California. I'm sorry. It just is. There's not enough ice out here to even understand what's happening here. Curling.

[Brady Quinn]

Perfect car. Would. Would try to disagree based on this morning's forecast.

[LaVar Arrington]

The weather this morning would disagree.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah. Hey, we had ice on the windshield.

[LaVar Arrington]

It's cold this morning.

[Jonas Knox]

Left Brady a little voice note, let him know I was driving with the windows down.

[LaVar Arrington]

It's cold here.

[Jonas Knox]

Show them who's boss.

[LaVar Arrington]

Show them.

[Brady Quinn]

Show them who got gas because your windows couldn't. You couldn't get them back up.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah. So what, buddy, is a pos. They're cranked.

[LaVar Arrington]

It really is.

[Brady Quinn]

They do crank.

[Jonas Knox]

That is rude.

[LaVar Arrington]

We was walking in the other day. He saw me get out of my car. He hit his car alarm and said,

[Brady Quinn]

it's like, why.

[LaVar Arrington]

Protected by Viper. Let him.

[Brady Quinn]

Just let him take it.

[LaVar Arrington]

You got that kind of aftermarket alarm. You see me, you're going hit the alarm.

[Jonas Knox]

I. I hit the car alarm and the side mirror fell off. You know what, though? Still chugging along. Got me here.

[LaVar Arrington]

Got that auto starter on that bad boy.

[Jonas Knox]

That's all that matters.

[Brady Quinn]

This is, by the way, our final update as I guess we can recap it on Monday. However, the. The closing ceremonies, I believe, are Sunday. So the music things. Look forward to. How about this in men's the. The gold medal game for curling. Now, granted, the United States is not in it, but it's Great Britain versus Canada. So all that, you know, controversy surrounding Canada, they're still in the gold medal game, but it would be the first Great Britain men's curling gold since 1924.

[Jonas Knox]

Huh.

[Brady Quinn]

So kind of.

[LaVar Arrington]

By the way, that's a been a while.

[Jonas Knox]

Well, you mentioned the ax throwing. That's one of the worst inventions in the history of mankind that somebody thought, you know what we should do? Let's build a bar. And over to the left, let's put some ax throwing cages in. That's a good idea. I'm sure. I'm sure that's not going to go sideways at some point. Like, you guys almost killed me.

[Brady Quinn]

It's a. I wish, I wish I could say it was by design, but she literally threw one. It hit like the back side of it.

[Jonas Knox]

Bounce back, bounce back. Yeah, yeah.

[Brady Quinn]

It's a.

[LaVar Arrington]

It's a teeny weeny. It's a teeny weeny activity, man. I don't need to throw no axes, man. I swing them. Oh, toss them.

[Jonas Knox]

What was the. There was a kicker. Yeah, there was a kicker for Minnesota.

[LaVar Arrington]

Chop that wood.

[Jonas Knox]

What's the Minnesota game where they play for the. Is it Paul Bunyan's ax or something like that?

[LaVar Arrington]

Minnesota versus Iowa is Iowa.

[Jonas Knox]

And this kicker swung the ax.

[Brady Quinn]

The Floyd of Rosedale, huh? I want to say it's Minnesota, Wisconsin.

[Jonas Knox]

It's one. I know It's Minnesota. The kicker swung the ax and he missed and it hit his leg. Oh, imagine that. No, you just, you just kicked a game winner. You turn into Quint from Jaws.

[LaVar Arrington]

Dang leg, peg leg, shorty.

[Jonas Knox]

That's unfortunate, but I bet you've never

[Brady Quinn]

swung an axe before in your life.

[Jonas Knox]

Jon, come on, please, man. Look at me. You've shook my hands before. You know what it's like, you know

[Brady Quinn]

that you put lotion on them. They're all soft and weird.

[LaVar Arrington]

A couple of my guys, that was our off season workout.

[Jonas Knox]

Swinging.

[Brady Quinn]

Swinging axes.

[LaVar Arrington]

Chop wood.

[Brady Quinn]

Did you actually chop wood or do you watch them do it?

[LaVar Arrington]

No, no, we was chopping trees down like I. Well, you know, living in, on, on that side of. Of things. Firewood is pretty. That's a premium. Like, I'm not buying firewood. I got, I got wood.

[Brady Quinn]

Trees.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yeah, I got trees. So we would, we would knock them down and then we would chop them up and then we burn them up. You know who sit outside? A couple of my, you know, kids. I train kids that are guys that played, you know, we played together. They come chop.

[Brady Quinn]

Burning trees for a while.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yeah, since like the sixth grade. Seventh grade, wasn't it? It wasn't always cool, wasn't always accepted, but it is now. It is now. I never looked at it that way. They said it was a gateway. It really wasn't. It was a gateway to greatness for me, you know, Thought clear. Felt good, you know.

[Brady Quinn]

By the way, today's. On today's schedule, U.S. men's Hockey does play Slovakia in the semifinals at 3:10pm Eastern Time. That's 12:00pm Pacific. The winner goes to the gold medal game. So there it is.

[Jonas Knox]

And we're going to find out whether or not Sidney Crosby plays coming up at 11:00am Eastern.

[LaVar Arrington]

Oh, he's going to play.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah. Well, I don't know. We'll. We will see lower body injury. We will get to get to see how they manage that one. Oh, he's going to play. Definitely 100.

[Brady Quinn]

They need to go talk to one of those curling people to help them out.

[Jonas Knox]

It's a great point. So it is the Dan Patrick show here on Fox Sports Radio. We are sort of. Listen, I'm telling you this right now. I can already tell with the vibe of the show, we're gonna go off the rails in a hurry.

[Podcast Narrator/Host]

segregation was the law, one mysterious black club owner had his own rules.

[LaVar Arrington]

We didn't worry about what went on outside. It was like stepping in another world.

[Podcast Narrator/Host]

Inside Charlie's Place, black and white people danced together. But not everyone was happy about it. You saw the kkk.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yeah, they was dressed up in their uniforms. The KKK set out to raid Charlie, take him away from here. Charlie was an example of power. They had to crush him.

[Jonas Knox]

It is the Dan Patrick show here on fox Sports Radio. LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox in for Dan and the guys coming up in about 20 minutes from now, we are going to have another edition of in case you missed it, that'll be yours here on Fox Sports radio. But it was so nice, we're going to do it twice. It is time for the tire rack play of the day.

[Brady Quinn]

Gets fresh skaters on the ice. The outlet pass for Keller, a defenseman. Nice move. Cuts to the net. Keller the overtime hero. The United States wins gold and belong.

[Jonas Knox]

NBC on the call. That is your tire rack play of the day. For over 40 years, Tire Rack's been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive shift fast and free. Backed by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tirerack.com, the way higher buying should be. So we have identified the next head coach to be hired, most likely next off season in the NFL. And that man is Nate Shieldhouse, who's been promoted to offensive coordinator, La Rams. The Sean McVeigh train continues on. And that guy's going to be one and done and he will be hired next season in the NFL. You can book it because that's the way that works for Sean McVeigh and company. I'd love to find some mods. I'd bet it right now. Right?

[Brady Quinn]

I mean, he already interviewed for head coaching positions this year.

[LaVar Arrington]

I mean, tell us about him. Q. Who, who is this guy?

[Brady Quinn]

I don't have much. I mean, that's the problem is, is a lot of these young guys, to Jonas's point, they're, they're kind of, you know, kind of going up the ranks fast to the point. He's 35 years old, all right. He is out of Kansas City, Missouri. He actually played quarterback at a. It's like, it's kind of a powerhouse there in Kansas City. Rockhurst. It's a private school, but great school, great tradition there, really good football program. Ended up going to Illinois. Played quarterback there as well.

[LaVar Arrington]

Fighting Alana. Yeah. All right.

[Brady Quinn]

He's worked his, his way up the ranks, but mostly through college football. I mean, he just got into the NFL two years ago. No, he was calling plays as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Iowa State. But I believe that was like for a year, maybe, maybe a couple of years if you count like run game coordinator and all that.

[LaVar Arrington]

Like with Matt Campbell.

[Brady Quinn]

Yeah.

[LaVar Arrington]

Oh, okay.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah.

[LaVar Arrington]

Interesting.

[Jonas Knox]

So we've talked about.

[LaVar Arrington]

I think I've decided to like him then.

[Jonas Knox]

They like Shield House, big Shield House guy.

[Brady Quinn]

Well, I, I guess my, my reaction to all this when you're like, who, who is this guy? Or why don't we know him better? Like, when he was being interviewed for head coaching jobs, my initial thought is, he has to be so impressive.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yeah.

[Brady Quinn]

You know. You know what I'm saying? Like, you guys have. Well, you meet someone at that age that you're like, wow. Like, that. That kid's going places. They're just different. They're an outlier. That's, to me, how this probably has all come about.

[LaVar Arrington]

Radio, then I don't get that, because I get that feeling when I see you. Like, why aren't you a gm?

[Jonas Knox]

Good point. Let's stay on this a little bit.

[LaVar Arrington]

Why aren't. Why aren't we there?

[Brady Quinn]

Like, we always have to do this.

[LaVar Arrington]

Because that's it. I mean, you make these comparisons on this. Like, who's more impressive than Brady Quinn?

[Jonas Knox]

Nobody loves this more than Brady. Come on, man. No, let's stay right here.

[LaVar Arrington]

I, I listen, I've been around. I've been around some. I've been around some pretty accomplished people.

[Jonas Knox]

Brady, let's stay right.

[LaVar Arrington]

I've been around some pretty bright people. Stay with us.

[Brady Quinn]

Here's.

[LaVar Arrington]

Let me tell you, I am good. I am good at seeing talent. If y' all had noticed that, I'm pretty good at it here.

[Brady Quinn]

That is true. Here's the truth, though. Lavar loves hanging out together so much, he's hoping that I get one of these jobs so we can hang out every day together in an NFL facility.

[LaVar Arrington]

That's correct.

[Brady Quinn]

This is about you.

[LaVar Arrington]

You. What did I say? When they come to get you, you better take me with you.

[Jonas Knox]

And in case you're wondering, I'm busy.

[Brady Quinn]

All bored out of super bowl week. You enjoy our time together so much during Super Week, you're like, we just. I was actually trying to recruit you to go to, like, move to the East Coast. I was recruiting you.

[LaVar Arrington]

You heard out.

[Jonas Knox]

I'm.

[LaVar Arrington]

I'm entertaining it.

[Brady Quinn]

Yeah.

[LaVar Arrington]

If we go. What I say, let's. Let's get a. Let's get a compound or let's get a ranch. I'd love to have some cows. I love to have some horses. My. My daughters love horses. Like, they ride horses. Like, I'm in. If we got, you know, we got, like, a little ranch or something like that. I'm in. I like my dog, you know?

[Brady Quinn]

Who would take care of the ranch in this whole setup?

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah, you know, Well, I know a few people.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yeah. I'll make it a family deal. That's all.

[Jonas Knox]

And they shorted me on some wedding

[LaVar Arrington]

gifts, so everybody's got a role to play.

[Jonas Knox]

They got debts to.

[Brady Quinn]

They've got to pay you back.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah, damn right. Damn right they do. Hey, we ran that through Covid. Come on, buddy.

[LaVar Arrington]

I mean, while we're at it, grow a nice little field full of. Full of trees that could be chopped down. They can handle that. They can help out with that. I mean, come on.

[Jonas Knox]

It's a real shame.

[LaVar Arrington]

Real operation.

[Jonas Knox]

It's a real shame people don't recognize how uncalled for. What Lavar and Brady just did was.

[Brady Quinn]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[Jonas Knox]

See, this is. This is like.

[Brady Quinn]

This is locker room.

[Jonas Knox]

Lavar told me. This is, like, locker room stuff where you're getting it and they're passing it back and forth, and you don't want the hot potatoes. You turn it over to somebody else, and then he gets it. He walks in.

[LaVar Arrington]

That's what you got to do, though.

[Brady Quinn]

Back to Shield House. Okay, I. I will say this.

[LaVar Arrington]

Okay.

[Brady Quinn]

I think he's a young man who he. He was actually a pretty highly talented recruit, from what I can recall out of. From Rockhurst. But I. I think he's one of those guys who. He just is that impressive, you know, whether it's how he conducts a meeting, how he handles himself in interviews. And like I said, I think we've all been across people. When I hear, like, a young guy's name, where people like, well, who is this guy? Like, how is he? At this point, I'm like, well, Sean McVeigh probably sees part of himself in him, because that's who Sean McVeigh was. I mean, again, you guys are on the West Coast. You guys remember when Sean McVeigh was hired, there was some questions about it. Like, you literally went from Jeff Fisher, who was, like, the most kind of stable, steady hand, like, wily veteran, had coached in the NFL forever. I mean, hell, he coached the. The Houston Oilers.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yes, he did.

[Brady Quinn]

So, like, you literally went from that to McVeigh, which I'm sure was a big question mark to a lot of people out there on the West Coast. And maybe there's still some question marks about Shield House, but I. I would say trust in the process. Trust in who Sean McVeigh is and. And his ability to see talent, because clearly he knows what he's doing. He doesn't bring in and hire, like, guys who are dumb. He's smart people.

[Jonas Knox]

I remember when Sean McVeigh came in and interviewed, it was similar to the Mike Tomlin stuff to where they weren't expecting that he was going to blow anybo away in the interview process. And he came in and they were stunned, and then they brought him back for a second interview. And I can remember the guy who was kind of pointing it out was Vinnie Bonsignor, who works and covers the Raiders now in Vegas. And he was saying, man, I'm hearing a lot of good things about this Sean McVeigh guy. He blew him away in the first interview, blew him away in the second. It feels like this. There's momentum building. Nobody knew who he was. Nobody was familiar with him. And since he's gotten here, you talk about. We've mentioned this before. The knock on Belichick is what? And Brady, you've played for some of the guys that are Belichick disciples is. Yeah, but they try and be Belichick, and it doesn't work. There's a lot of examples of Belichick assistants who don't work. It's hard to find an example of a McVeigh assistant that hasn't worked because they're hipsters. Is that what it is?

[LaVar Arrington]

Yes. I just told you yesterday on the show, you got to meet these kids, where they're at. This is why. And this is the question I, I would want to pose to. To both of you. And. And Q. You aren't here to. To. To take this one, so I saved it for today. Do we think that that's why the younger generation of. Of coaches are being. You would not consider a coach in their 30s in the old NFL. You might not consider a coach in their early 40s in the old NFL. This new NFL, they're hiring younger. The game has gotten younger. And I'm telling you, I think it's because the players have changed. The way you interact and you deal with players has to be very, very different in 2026. It's a theory. It's a thought. But this new wave of younger coaches coming in. We just had the youngest coach in the history of the league. Right. Just win the Super Bowl. Isn't it. Is that. Did he get that record? I believe he might be the youngest.

[Jonas Knox]

McDonald.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yeah, I think he might be.

[Jonas Knox]

He. He's. If he's not, he's one or two.

[LaVar Arrington]

I think he might be the youngest head coach to win the Super Bowl.

[Jonas Knox]

I'm. I'm. I'm.

[LaVar Arrington]

I almost feel like I'm certain on that. But I, I'm just curious. Is. Is. Is this out of necessity? Is it. Is it easy to fire. Is it easier to fire a young guy and say, hey, you know, there's plenty of Young guys. I, I just wonder why has it become such a, There is a, a mold or there is a profile that I, I feel is developing in the head coaching hiring cycles. And it's younger with all of them very young.

[Brady Quinn]

This question, though, I don't know. I, I think, I think it's us and I think, I think that's our perspective on the, how the hiring process has gone. Like if you think through times like Steve Jobs, I think he was like 21 years old when he founded Apple. You know, Steve Wozniak, his partner was like 26. You know, look at Microsoft. Paul Allen was 22 years old. I mean, if you go through like history and I relate to these specific examples of successful companies because, you know, that's what you have with the NFL. You have 32 successful companies, obviously, right. They're like recession proof. These things never can go out of business. Bad years, whatever, doesn't matter. They print money. And so you're tasked with finding whoever that next bright mind is, whether it be young, old, what have you to lead your team. And I think it's just in some ways a little bit of our misconception that like, you know, young people have to. Haven't blazed this path before, but the truth of the matter is they have. It's just, it doesn't happen quite as often. And I think we also like to believe that you need to have experience, you need to, you know, go through some of the bumps and bruises in order to understand like what that job entails.

[LaVar Arrington]

Experience.

[Brady Quinn]

Maybe be a better decision maker.

[LaVar Arrington]

Yeah, but maybe you're a better decision maker not having that experience. Yeah, right.

[Brady Quinn]

And to that point, ignorance is, is bliss, they say.

[LaVar Arrington]

Right?

[Brady Quinn]

Yeah. And I think people tend to forget, like a lot of this country was actually built on entrepreneurism where you have people who are starting up a company, they have an idea, they have a product, a service, whatever, and they end up then making it, you know, and they get to a certain point where maybe they bring in some other people who can help them, but it's, it's their idea, it's their baby. That what they, where they get it. And I think that's what we're starting to see a little bit too in sports with people feeling more confident, hiring some of these young people who have been ingrained in this whole thing since they were probably five or six as an athlete, and then they transition into coaching relatively quickly because that's their expertise, that's what they've been doing and maybe their entire life, we've Looked at it and said, well, they were, you know, again, in Shieldhouse's case, a highly touted quarterback out of Kansas City, Missouri, goes to Illinois. You know, the. The career ends at some point, but maybe the entire time he's preparing himself for that moment. I. I could. I can promise you this. I know Sean McVeigh was. I remember going to, you know, uptown or Old town, whatever it is, in Oxford, Ohio, Ohio, and him be on the football team and being around and seeing, like, some of the guys who are on the team during that time. I mean, he was even younger than me, but I remember, like, going to see my high school sweetheart at the time, and you'd see that stuff, and you're like, all right, that guy's got his stuff together.

[LaVar Arrington]

What she looked like, oh, God, no, don't.

[Brady Quinn]

We're not going there. But the point is that probably more common than we realize. I see. This is why I can't even bring stuff up.

[Jonas Knox]

It's a Toledo. Rock it,

[Brady Quinn]

Cameron. Bring stuff up.

[LaVar Arrington]

Hey, what? She look like you? Because that was. I'm not finished yet. That was the. I'm not finished yet.

[Brady Quinn]

Q. What.

[LaVar Arrington]

What's the stat on the super bowl, bro?

[Brady Quinn]

All right, so actually, I have the three youngest head coaches. The youngest was not Mike McDonald.

[Jonas Knox]

He's number three.

[Brady Quinn]

It was actually McVeigh at 36. Young 36. And then second was Tomlin almost turning 37. He was late 37.

[LaVar Arrington]

And what. What was McDonald?

[Brady Quinn]

McDonald was 38 years old.

[LaVar Arrington]

Okay.

[Jonas Knox]

His old ass.

[LaVar Arrington]

Okay. Dang. The nerve of him.

[Jonas Knox]

So. So McVeigh had a rep back then. So. So Sean McVeigh had a reputation even back then to where people identified. This is a guy that.

[Brady Quinn]

Similar to Shield House, he was a great high school player. He got his opportunity in college. It ended there. But that, you know, he was looked at as kind of a young, bright movie. Fine.

[LaVar Arrington]

All right.

[Jonas Knox]

And if Shield House does get hired away, the Rams are going to get compensatory picks as well, too.

[LaVar Arrington]

Really? Yeah. So where is he going?

[Brady Quinn]

Who's the.

[LaVar Arrington]

Who's the team that's going to get him?

[Jonas Knox]

He's just going to Cincinnati.

[LaVar Arrington]

He's going to go to Cincinnati, and he's going to go coach Joe Burrow, and that's going to keep Joe Burrow there and that. They're going to save it.

[Jonas Knox]

Zack Taylor, Zach Taylor, former McVeigh disciple. There it is.

[LaVar Arrington]

So.

[Brady Quinn]

So that's. I would say that. I mean, the jets, it feels like there's some. A little bit of ready on the Wall there.

[LaVar Arrington]

Wow.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah.

[LaVar Arrington]

Does he want to do that? At what point does it become. Do I want to do that?

[Jonas Knox]

They're approaching that territory for real. I know there's only 32 of them, but there should be only 31. Like, for being honest, the j. The jets should get swapped out for a CFL team. Like, that's the least you could do for the reckless accusations for the curling team cheating. The least you could do is swap the jets out for a cfl. Give them the Rough Riders. Aren't the Saskatchewan Rough Riders still in existence? But bring the Rough Riders to the AFC East. Enough's enough.

[LaVar Arrington]

Wow.

[Jonas Knox]

You guys got to get it together, man. Seriously.

[LaVar Arrington]

Just take me with you. Q.

[Jonas Knox]

Trying to do professional. Trying to do it professional.

[LaVar Arrington]

I'd even do. I'd even do it if it was the Jets.

[Brady Quinn]

I don't think we're bringing Jonas. I don't. I think.

[LaVar Arrington]

I think we should just. Because he. He really would keep the morale of the building high.

[Jonas Knox]

I'm not interested.

[LaVar Arrington]

Good cops, bad cops. You know what I mean? Like, I think it will work out really well. I think guys would bond well with Joe. If Jonas decided to be this Jonas. If Jonas decided to be. I'm going to go walk. I don't want to meet anyone. I'm not going to the walk through. Like, if he decided to be that guy. I don't know. I don't know how it turns out,

[Brady Quinn]

but can I tease something then for the next segment? I know we typically do, in case you missed it, but I. I do feel like there's something else that's warranted.

[Jonas Knox]

Okay, okay. Please.

[Brady Quinn]

Cuz someone's got a complaint. All right? Some would like to question something or. Or voice a complaint that they have with something that's kind of, I don't know, revolutionize our lifestyle.

[LaVar Arrington]

Oh, wow.

[Brady Quinn]

I'm not going to say who that member is on this show.

[LaVar Arrington]

Oh, it's on this show.

[Brady Quinn]

On this show. We need to hear this complaint.

[LaVar Arrington]

It's not me.

[Jonas Knox]

And that's next.

Okay, so. All right. So this is. You were right about something. Amazon has been revolutionary. Like, it's changed the way people operate, the way they move, the way they shop. Like, all of that stuff. You can watch, you know, NFL games on Amazon Prime. Watched a little bit of the Celtics warriors last night on Amazon Prime. Also the Pistons and Knicks. By the way, Kate Cunningham, legitimate MVP contender. That's a whole nother story. But Amazon's been great. Amazon's got a problem. And there's been some speculation. There's been some speculation that Bezos might be one of the people interested in buying the Seahawks now that they are going to go up for sale. And I just don't know how he's going to afford it, but I do know how he could afford it. Stop putting tiny items in giant boxes. Okay? Enough's enough. And don't take that where you want to take it, Lavar. Okay? Just enough's enough. I don't need to order.

[LaVar Arrington]

We know why you're afraid. Okay.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah, absolutely. Ah, I, I don't. I don't.

[LaVar Arrington]

But you got a little item. Put it in a jack, but you leave.

[Jonas Knox]

All balls are equal. But you leave her out of this. Oh, no, but I don't need. I don't need a giant box that you could, that you could put a casket in when I'm ordering two or three tiny items. And then they, they make up for it by throwing in the paper or the squishy stuff. The, the. The stuff.

[LaVar Arrington]

The air. The air pocket.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah. Like the air. Yeah. Enough's Enough. You're wasting money with this garbage. They can't get the packaging right. That's my one problem with Amazon. When they send you something, stuff, they never get the packaging right. The math is off and somebody needs to figure it out.

[Brady Quinn]

What's in the box? What's in the box? Do you not think Amazon's smarter than you, Jonas?

[Jonas Knox]

Apparently not.

[Brady Quinn]

No. Because don't you think they have standardized shipping and boxes and everything else? Like, it's cheaper for them to probably have the same size box, even though your item is much smaller than for them to have a litany of other smaller boxes that they can't fit as much in? That's one of the reasons why when you go buy stuff on Amazon, they try to get you to put multiple items into one box.

[Jonas Knox]

Okay? It's better to look smart than to be smart. Dang. And you should figure this out. Yes, Yes.

[Brady Quinn]

I think Amazon knows what they're doing. I think your complaint is one that's.

[Jonas Knox]

I, I guarantee, I guarantee you people listening to this right now you're going, you know what, that's a great point. Like, I ordered a tube of toothpaste. It came in something you would put a big screen TV in.

[Brady Quinn]

Why?

[Jonas Knox]

For what?

[Brady Quinn]

Here's part of your issue is you should order more in bulk because you're going to get a better price per ounce, which is actually saving you money. So instead of being a cheap ass thinking that you're buying one tube of toothpaste and it's going to save you money, you should buy six where you get a better discount or price per ounce because it's going to last for the next year.

[Jonas Knox]

Spoken like somebody who doesn't have to break down the boxes each week. Spoken like somebody who doesn't have to do that, Joe.

[Brady Quinn]

All right, you really want me to get on a tangent?

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah.

[Brady Quinn]

That's the issue with amazing Amazon. Okay, if you're so smart, Amazon, why don't you find a box that I don't have to use box cutters and figure out how to shove into my recycling bin? And I, by the way, is that just a man's job? Like, is no one ever else responsible for in the house breaking down boxes? I mean, we're not ordering all the stuff.

[LaVar Arrington]

They got this new invention.

[Brady Quinn]

I don't know why every time I walk to my front door and I see a package, I'm like, oh, maybe it's for me. Like someone got me something or surprised me.

[Jonas Knox]

Never.

[Brady Quinn]

Of course, of course it's not for, for me. You Know what's for me? The box that I have to break down. Shove as much as I can to a recycling bin. Try to find a way of sneaking throughout the night to shove more of the boxes and other people's recycling bins. Sometimes I'm going, like, half a mile down the street.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah.

[Brady Quinn]

Just to shove these boxes.

[Jonas Knox]

Right. When you think that box is yours, somebody. Something else comes.

[LaVar Arrington]

I don't get you guys gifts. I don't do gifts and all that stuff. I'm not into it because it's just.

[Jonas Knox]

I can't confirm that it's not my thing.

[LaVar Arrington]

Thing, but I'm getting you guys a gift this year, and I know exact. I'm telling you. I wanted to tell y' all what it is, but I'm going to wait. I'm going to give it to you guys.

[Jonas Knox]

You told me during the break. What does your wife do that she got. She got rejected yesterday.

[LaVar Arrington]

So she orders groceries, and instead of them bringing them in bags, they bring them in boxes. Now they bring your groceries. They deliver them in boxes. So. So, because we got too many boxes coming to the house, she takes the groceries out and gives the box back to the person who delivered them. And up until the other day, everybody takes them back. The dude. The dude the other day was like, no, I'm not taking that box. Not taking your box back. So I was not. I was like, so how did you handle that?

[Brady Quinn]

I've never thought to try that. I didn't think that was.

[LaVar Arrington]

I was like, how did they handle that? And she was like, oh. They said.

[Jonas Knox]

But before they leave, just, you know, open it up real quick and be like, here, can you grab this?

[LaVar Arrington]

Yeah. She tell them. She tells them to wait.

[Brady Quinn]

Can tell me the cardboard smell better. Smells like crap.

[LaVar Arrington]

Well, you know, that's what attracts the roaches and the rats is the. The boxes.

[Brady Quinn]

Oh, yeah. I don't know what's in it. I mean, there's got.

[Jonas Knox]

What's in the box?

[LaVar Arrington]

Well, somebody's pushing. There's something in the box, you know, and that's what attracts. That's the smell you're smelling.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah. Good box talk here on the show.

[LaVar Arrington]

To close. I know what I'm getting y' all for Christmas, man. I'm gonna do it this year. I want to get y' all a gift.
