Episode Overview

This lively episode dives into LeBron James's looming free agency decision, drawing parallels to his previous high-profile career choices ("The Decision: Part Three"). The crew—Levar Arrington, Brady Quinn, and Jonas Knox (filling in for Dan)—debate whether the spectacle around LeBron’s process is justified or simply overblown, reflect on celebrity wedding excess with the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift nuptials, and share personal stories in the FSR IR segment. The banter is quick, self-aware, and often irreverent, mixing serious thoughts on sports culture with signature humor.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The LeBron James Free Agency Saga

• Discussion kicks off [04:20]: The hosts express frustration with how every LeBron free agency becomes a media event, referencing previous decisions and media coverage.
  • Dan Patrick [05:09]: “I don’t need Rich Paul sitting with Max Kellerman to break down every possibility... Cut the crap. Pick a team so we can move on with our lives. It’s every time. It’s always a production.”
• Branding vs. Basketball [07:47]:
  • Levar Arrington highlights the unnecessary drama: “It doesn’t have to be a production... Just make the decision, you know, like, help everyone move forward and, and then we’ve got something to talk about.”
  • Brady Quinn defends LeBron: “This is his swan song. This is it. Wherever he goes, you want it to be the best decision... And he probably is ring chasing. Like, so what? I found it strange and almost concerning that we have people that try to shame LeBron James for ring chasing. Like, what else are you chasing?” [06:13]
• “Enterprise Value” Debate [09:16]: The conversation turns to LeBron’s impact on team value:
  • Levar Arrington pushes back: “When you have a player who’s there, great, it might help out, create more value for your franchise, but it’s not lasting... It looks good for the season... but it’s just—how you’re even taught we’re talking about is entirely different.” [10:13]
• LeBron’s Process and Rocky Parallels [12:36]:
  • Brady Quinn draws a pop culture analogy: “LeBron James follows a process... It’s almost like the Rocky franchise. He’s going to use the same format, the same exact process, no matter what, because it works.”
  • Hosts riff with laughter on Rocky movies, comparing LeBron’s offseasons to Rocky’s repetitive training/match cycle. [12:56]
• Bronny and Bryce as Motivations [17:06]:
  • The group speculates LeBron may be angling to play with his sons: “If he’s not chasing rings he’s waiting to be able to play with Bronny and Bryce.” [17:14]

2. NBA Landscape & Player Dynamics

• Who’s got old-school fire? [18:15]:
  • Levar Arrington imagines a classic rivalry: “Just imagine across the ring... this just ticks him off. The fact that LeBron’s not chasing rings, but he’s just trying to chase time to play with his kids. He thinks this is a kids game... We need someone to step up.”
  • Jonas Knox jokes: “Break him up. Knock his ass out. Knock him out.” [18:55]
• Humor about LeBron’s ‘tour’ [19:49]:
  • Dan Patrick cracks: “We all wouldn’t storm out of the room with ice packs on our knees if somebody else got a game ball.”

3. Celebrity Wedding Window: Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift

• Every Celebrity Was Invited... Except the Hosts [29:14]:
  • Jonas Knox snarks: “They were married at Madison Square Garden over the weekend, and I’m assuming you two were not invited, but it seems like everybody else was.” [29:14]
  • The group remarks on the eclectic guest list—athletes, executives, celebrities—and speculates if invitees signal Kelsey’s next career ambitions.
  • Dan Patrick self-deprecates: “If I did get invited, I’m good. Like, have fun, everybody. That’s way too much for me... That’s why... when are you going to get married?... pandemic. Once there’s a pandemic, prices will drop and you’ll have the awkward, hey, social distancing stuff.” [31:22]
  • They roast cheap weddings—cash bars, time-limited open bars, and “the ultimate”: no alcohol at all [33:10].

4. Prenup & Future Family (with signature humor)

• Levar Arrington asks: “Did he sign the prenup, you think? Like, how do you think that one...” [36:02]
• Quick jokes about who “won” in the Taylor-Travis union, whether their eventual kids will be athletic or dramatic (a “thespian”), and gentle ribbing about youthful ambitions. [38:28]
• Playful bit about Taylor Swift “taking Travis away from us” and integrating him into new circles. [37:23]

5. FSR IR: Crew Holiday Injuries & Antics ([44:51])

• Brady Quinn shares: former NFL player Tamba Hali severely dehydrated after a workout, and laments fire department indifference (45:00).
• Levar Arrington confesses: family Fourth of July mishap as a child steps on a hot smoke bomb and is blistered: “Dad should probably be a part of whatever’s going on with fireworks. I'll just leave it at that.” [49:54]
• Quick-fire banter about dumb injuries, holiday “statistics,” and teammates grabbing the burning end of the blunt (Brady, [50:21]).

[Fox Sports Radio Announcer]

You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

[Dan Patrick]

It's the Dan Patrick show here on Fox Sports Radio. Levar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you filling in for Dan and the guys. I got issues.

[Brady Quinn]

Straight issues, bro.

[Dan Patrick]

What did I do?

[Brady Quinn]

You messing with Mike for what Mike ever did.

[Dan Patrick]

Big Mike.

[Brady Quinn]

What Mike ever do to you, man. All he does is come around and give people winning their wings. Smile on your face.

[Dan Patrick]

I've known. I've known Mike for like 15, 16 years.

[Miller Lite Announcer]

Long.

[Dan Patrick]

A lot of history there.

[Brady Quinn]

So you just feel like you just do it that way now. 15, 16.

[Dan Patrick]

Big Mike Lingard, who runs the editing department here.

[Levar Arrington]

Those two have a special relationship.

[Dan Patrick]

It's one of my favorite people to just belly up at a bar with during Super Bowl. Not that we were at a place that actually had a bar, because I don't even know what you call that, where we were at this past year. But, yeah, Mike's. Mike's good.

[Brady Quinn]

What do you call that?

[Dan Patrick]

Mike's good times, man. But he was very, very upset about the. The honey bun conversation we were having,

[Brady Quinn]

so I just want to understand why you talked so bad about him before he got to the door.

[Dan Patrick]

That's what we do to each other. Oh, he doesn't say hi to me. He flips me off. Oh, he's doing it right now.

[Brady Quinn]

Right now.

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

Yeah.

[Jonas Knox]

That's the.

[Brady Quinn]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

That's the relationship.

[Brady Quinn]

It's a relationship I won'.

[Dan Patrick]

But this relationship, this relationship with all kinds of birds, with the listeners, is going to last all the way up until noon Eastern time.

[Alec Baldwin]

Yeah.

[Levar Arrington]

Will you guys let Mike know I'm flicking him off? I know he can't see me right now. Just go ahead and send him the bird. Send it from me to Mike when you have a chance.

[Brady Quinn]

How you feel about that, Mike? How you feel about it? Yep.

[Levar Arrington]

How about them apples, pal?

[Brady Quinn]

How about them apples?

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, I think I forgot.

[Alec Baldwin]

What?

[Brady Quinn]

Why'd you forget? Where. Oh, gosh. Yep. Good job, Jonas. Way to deliver it. Oh, you got one in, too. That wasn't. That wasn't a delivery for you.

[UnitedHealthcare Employee - Jessa]

Okay.

[Miller Lite Announcer]

Yep.

[Dan Patrick]

He's getting it from all angles now.

[Alec Baldwin]

All right?

[Dan Patrick]

So we're gonna have all angles covered for.

[Brady Quinn]

Oh, no, don't. No, Mike, don't take to the next level, please.

[Dan Patrick]

Noon Eastern Time, 9 o' clock Pacific. By the way, you can watch along on YouTube. No one needs at 2 pros, FSR. You will not see Mike Ling flipping us off or mooning us on the other side of the camera, and you can have some fun with us here on this Monday extravaganza. Back from a holiday weekend. Hey, you know what's back? Hey, LeBron James is free agency decision. That's back. We are. We are off and running yet again. And enough's enough, dude. I, I, I don't need Rich Paul sitting with Max Kellerman to break down every possibility of cool.

[Rebecca Nagle]

Cool.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't need all this, this entire breakdown of all the teams and the pros and cons of, Of. Of where he should end. Up.

[Brady Quinn]

This is intriguing.

[Dan Patrick]

This isn't the usual suspects. Max is going to drop a coffee mug and it says Kobayashi on the bottom of it. Cut the crap. Pick a team so we can move on with our lives. It's every time. It's always a production. There's always got to be something. So you remember the excuse Everybody made for LeBron back when he did the decision? Well, he's young. If he had to do it all over again, may have it handled it differently. No, this is what it turns into every single time.

[Levar Arrington]

He is doing it all over again. Yes, he's got the chance to do it. That's how he's doing it again.

[Dan Patrick]

I just. I can't. There's.

[Brady Quinn]

Look, he can't help how big of a deal he is, Jonas.

[Dan Patrick]

Sure he can.

[Brady Quinn]

He's a big deal.

[Dan Patrick]

Just announce where you're going. That's it.

[Brady Quinn]

Maybe he hasn't made the decision yet. Maybe there's a lot of painful hours of going over the information and figuring out which one makes the most sense. I mean, this is his swan song. This is it. You're going to get him for one and done, I would assume. Why? Why expect him to do more than one more? So wherever he goes, I mean, you want it to be the best decision, and he probably is ring chasing. Like, so what? I found it strange and. And interesting almost concerning that we have people that make it a point to try to shame LeBron James for ring chasing. Like, what else are you chasing? You're chasing championships. What else are you chasing? If you're competing, what are you competing to do? Are you just competing to compete? I wasn't raised that way. I feel like you train to do something. If I'm going to practice, I want to practice to have results, and I want those results to lead to a win. I was the one who cried peewee league when we lost. I wanted championships, and that started early. So I don't understand this whole idea of LeBron James is lesser than. Because he's chasing rings and he's chasing championships. Go play for okc. Go play for San Antonio. Hell, join. Join up with the 76ers. They look like they trying to make a move.

[Jonas Knox]

Go.

[Brady Quinn]

Go to the Knicks. Go back to Cleveland. Cleveland's close. Go somewhere where you're gonna have the opportunity to try to win another championship and ring. And win another ring. Why not?

[Levar Arrington]

This is all great advice. Good. I think what Jonas is pointing to is it doesn't have to be a production.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah.

[Levar Arrington]

Like you could just make the decision

[Brady Quinn]

He's a big deal. He's a big deal.

[Levar Arrington]

And by the way, it will be a big deal whenever that decision is made. But I don't know if it helps the perception, the branding, everything else by leaking out, you know, some of the teams and who's a part of it, who's not. Like, like almost like you're leaving breadcrumbs for people to figure it out. It just, there's a lot of it that comes off as like, all right, man, just make the decision, you know, like, like help everyone move forward and, and then we've got, you know, something to talk about.

[Brady Quinn]

That's part of it all. That's the beauty of it.

[Dan Patrick]

It's really difficult to out blow hard a blowhard. And he out blowhearted. The Lakers, who are the biggest blowhards in sports, like, they got to a point to where they're like, we're good, dude. Like, well, you know, we'll go make some moves and you know, we'll, we'll lighten things up over here, you know, which, which Stephen A. Smith isn't a fan of and we'll, we', we need to do to just try and get away. Tired of dealing with constant, it's just a constant scene con, like everything.

[Brady Quinn]

We're tired of your age.

[Dan Patrick]

Come on, man. By the way, you mentioned the Knicks. Apparently this was Rich Paul, his agent, talking with Max Kellerman. Apparently the Knicks would have been the no brainer except they went ahead and won a damn title.

[Levar Arrington (alternate or continuation)]

If the Knicks hadn't a one, he, this wouldn't even, there would be no board.

[Fox Sports Radio Announcer]

He'd be going to the Knicks.

[Levar Arrington (alternate or continuation)]

He'd be going to the Knicks. Here's the thing. He's been a part of a championship team with, with people coming onto the team. When LeBron comes onto your team, it's different, man. His enterprise value and what he just carries is it's different. And I respect the fact Mike Brown knows this. Jalen Brunson will literally have to pick up the phone and say, hey man, is no issue with me. It's no issue with me. And I'm not saying that that would, that would, I'm not saying that that

[Fox Sports Radio Announcer]

would make do it, but at least it would put him on the table.

[Levar Arrington (alternate or continuation)]

Yeah, because, because you got to respect that.

[Dan Patrick]

Have the Knicks called?

[Levar Arrington (alternate or continuation)]

Yeah, Nick's checked, they checked in.

[Jonas Knox]

It's just.

[Brady Quinn]

All right, man, I, I, he's not lying though. It just comes across as just like it's a blowhard. It's connected, but it's, but it's very real. His value is his value, right?

[Levar Arrington]

But here's the thing that gets lost in all of this is the second he's not there, there's no value. Like when we throw around words like enterprise value, right? Like market cap plus total debt minus your cash and equivalents. Like there's a formula for. Right. That, like, we actually use in the business world that people actually refer to to determine the value of a company or value of organization. When you have a player who's there, great, it might help out, create more value for your franchise, but it's not lasting like enterprise value is when you create a lasting, improved value on something. In my mind, like when people throw around these phrases just because it sounds cool in a business meeting or like in a meeting room, it's not legitimate. Like, yes, he brings the value up of that team when he. While he's there, but he's not a rookie. This isn't him getting, you know, name your next best superstar. That's going to change the value of your franchise, hopefully for 20 years, and become the next LeBron, right? This is the end of his career. So as much as it looks good for the season, or, I don't know, maybe two, if he plays two. Like, it's just how you're even taught we're talking about is entirely different. And I think the tough thing is for me, look, he's. He's one of the greatest of all time. He's done so many things right. It's just at the end of his career, I know he wants the appreciation for what he's done. And I think he's. He's lived through an era where there's so many people who try to detract from him. And I don't really get that, to be honest. But I will say this. He also has given him some ammunition. And this is one instance where, you know, if he takes this next season and instead of making it about a championship or about the team or about everything else, but he makes about himself, it only lends to more of that criticism. Like, I just, I hope wherever he goes, it's more about winning an NBA Finals as opposed to the farewell tour, because he'll get that regardless. But I, I get concerned when you see reports of. Well, they want to document the whole thing. It's like. Well, of course, like, there's gonna be people around who document it, but, like, you don't have to be a part of the production. Like, let someone else do it. Like. Like the whole goat debate. Like other people Determine that, like when you were in that position, when you hear Michael Jordan, all these guys talk, they don't refer themselves as that because it's, it's for someone else to make that case, not you.

[Brady Quinn]

LeBron James follows a process. And the only way I could maybe make it like, make sense is it's almost like the Rocky franchise. Like, he's going to use the same exact format, the same exact process, no matter what he does, because it works.

[Levar Arrington]

So what's that format? Let's break down the Rocky and then we'll. Then we'll go from there.

[Dan Patrick]

So is this next edition Rocky 5?

[Brady Quinn]

It's Rocky. It's all.

[Dan Patrick]

I feel like Tommy Gunn in the street.

[Brady Quinn]

They are all this and, and what's funny, not all the same. They are not all the same. And, and in fact, getting to the

[Levar Arrington]

topping, you and Jonas were up top. And in what, Rocky two and three.

[Brady Quinn]

Two and three and four, by the way.

[Levar Arrington]

Well, and four till.

[Dan Patrick]

Until you, by the way, I guess, scenario die. I think, I think Rocky 2 might be the best of the bunch, you know, controversial, but I think Rocky 2 might be.

[Brady Quinn]

Here's the bottom line. You, you, you have a, A guy. He's.

[Jonas Knox]

So far.

[Levar Arrington]

Does it get a chance to break it down?

[Alec Baldwin]

I know.

[Brady Quinn]

Here's the, here's the thing. We're on Deadpower.

[Levar Arrington]

I wanted to really go into that because, like, they are all.

[Brady Quinn]

It is all the same format. And even with Creed, they took. He gave what he did. Was he blessed. Michael B. Anthony. Michael B. Jordan.

[Dan Patrick]

Michael B. Jordan.

[Brady Quinn]

There it is with, with. And that song right there. You can use that song in every single movie.

[Levar Arrington]

Different. You know, we found a villain in Russia. We could all be.

[Brady Quinn]

They are all the same. And as we had something going on in our, our history at that time.

[Dan Patrick]

How many people got salmonella poisoning eating eggs raw?

[Brady Quinn]

Just, just, just drinking them.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, yeah.

[Brady Quinn]

Just cracking them.

[Levar Arrington]

Putting them in my heavy weight gainer. 2000 shakes. I was like, chops.

[Brady Quinn]

You mixed it with your metrics.

[Dan Patrick]

You gotta cook these a little bit anyway.

[Levar Arrington]

Do you give one to your dog? We tried doing that for a bit and he was. Had the runs. I put in a good situation.

[Brady Quinn]

I put him on his food every like twice a week.

[Levar Arrington]

Some eggs in there.

[Brady Quinn]

I'm not going to try to keep explaining it. I'm not, I'm not. Just know there is. There is a process connected to the Rocky franchise.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Brady Quinn]

And they stick to it. He sticks to it. No matter. If you get to the point of where you're like, rocky Come on. You know, your ass is too old to be fighting in the streets like this. You're too old to be going in and fighting Antonio Tarver. But it is still the same process. Like, there's a problem.

[Morgan Neville]

He.

[Brady Quinn]

He attacks the problem. He trains. He gets prepared for it. He goes into the fight, he's getting his ass whipped. Sometimes he gets his ass for the fight, loses somebody, something like hits you, your. Your heartstrings, you lose Polly or, you know, somebody, you know, Mickey gets sick or whatever it is. And then here he is. Like, that's the climax right there. Like that. The music right there. And that's LeBron James. That's LeBron James. Every single off season, he follows the same exact process. Whether he's going back to the same team or he's going to end up taking his talent somewhere else. He follows the Rocky franchise process. I'm. I'm going to present it the same exact way. I'm going to execute the same exact way. Because that's what works, whether you like it or you don't. That's LeBron James.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, but he didn't have somebody in his camp do a whiteboard breakdown of the meat he punched in a freezer. You know, like, enough's enough. Just speed it up, dude. And then. And then this latest report is Walt. You know, he's gonna take his time. It's gonna take a little while. Of course it is.

[Brady Quinn]

He's old. You gotta take your time when you're older.

[Dan Patrick]

Dude. Nobody wants. Don't work the same about all these possibilities. Listen, it's gonna be the Cavs, the Heat, the war.

[Brady Quinn]

Say the Cavs are the first thing to go.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. I mean.

[Rebecca Nagle (alternate or continuation)]

Wait, what?

[Levar Arrington]

Wait, what are they trying to trade for Broadway?

[Dan Patrick]

Great point. It's a telltale sign.

[Robbie Kaplan]

That is.

[Rebecca Nagle]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

You see that?

[Brady Quinn]

Alrighty.

[Dan Patrick]

You see that again?

[Levar Arrington]

Are we going back to Ass Calves, back to the bus or where we go?

[Brady Quinn]

No little cabs. Those are powerful cats popping.

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

Yeah.

[Miller Lite Announcer]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

So. So Bronnie, It's a what, A package deal. The Cavs would be willing to. To trade for Bronnie if.

[Brady Quinn]

Then bring in Bryce in the next. Next draft. Because that's really all he's doing if he's not chasing rings he's waiting to be able to play with. With Bronnie and Bryce.

[Dan Patrick]

You know, if you're the Cavs, trade for Bronnie and then don't sign LeBron.

[Levar Arrington]

I. I wish there was, like, enough NBA players who that, like, ticked off, like, they were actually legitimately mad About. I'm not sure how many, like, old school guys there still are in this league because everyone's pretty friendly and obviously LeBron's LeBron. So they're scared of upsetting him and everything behind him. But it would be fun if you just got someone who. Again, going back to the. The Rocky. Can we get the music going again?

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[UnitedHealthcare Employee - Ben]

Yes.

[Brady Quinn]

Clean.

[Dan Patrick]

Is that Bill Conti, I believe.

[Rebecca Nagle]

Yeah.

[Levar Arrington]

But just like, I mean, I guess on the other side of the ring, you've got. I don't know who it is. I don't know if it's Anthony Edwards. He's kind of old school. Got a different approach to it. Even though I think Minnesota was thrown around as one of the teams. But, like, pick your. Pick your star player joker.

[Alec Baldwin]

And he.

[Levar Arrington]

Okay. I mean, he just wants to play with horses. I don't think he cares what LeBron

[Brady Quinn]

super paws.

[Levar Arrington]

He just likes his horses. That's all he cares about. I'm just saying. Just close your eyes for a second. Unless you're driving, then keep them open. But just imagine across the ring right there's. Name your superstar in the NBA. And this just ticks him off. The fact that LeBron's not chasing rings, but he's just trying to chase time to play with his kids. He thinks this is a kids game. He thinks this is a family ordeal. He's not having any of that. Not in our house. On this league, we need someone to step up. Oh, to say, I'm not taking this anymore.

[Jonas Knox]

I'm breaking him up. Break him up. Knock his ass out. Knock him out.

[Levar Arrington]

That's what we need, someone to step up. I'm tired of it.

[Jonas Knox]

I feel it. Yes. Don't stop.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm into it.

[Jonas Knox]

I feel it. I feel the power.

[Brady Quinn]

Oh, man.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm into it.

[Jonas Knox]

I feel the energy through my veins. Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Yeah. Yeah. Because if you can do it and he can do it and she can do it, that means we all can do it. We can all be like LeBron.

[Levar Arrington (alternate or continuation)]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Brady Quinn]

Okay, well, I got carried away. I'm sorry.

[Levar Arrington]

Okay.

[Brady Quinn]

I got carried away. Sorry.

[Miller Lite Announcer]

Yeah.

[Rebecca Nagle]

Because.

[Dan Patrick]

Because we all wouldn't storm out of the room with ice packs on our knees if somebody else got a game ball.

[Brady Quinn]

And forget your hairline right there on this. You left your hairline there on the seat right there.

[Dan Patrick]

What are we doing, man? By the way, Ohio's finest. I want to point that out. Brady Quinn.

[Brady Quinn]

Where are you from?

[Levar Arrington]

Shaker Heights.

[Dan Patrick]

You're part of that. You're part of that. That class. You and LeBron.

[Levar Arrington]

Yeah, same class.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. It's unfortunate.

[Levar Arrington]

I mean, it is pretty cool to play with your kids.

[Morgan Neville]

I just.

[Brady Quinn]

LeBron from St. Clair.

[Levar Arrington]

We went to St. Vincent, St. Mary, so.

[Dan Patrick]

Hey, Saints. A saint. Come on, man.

[Brady Quinn]

What?

[Miller Lite Announcer]

Yeah, right.

[Dan Patrick]

Listen, round up Fine.

[Levar Arrington]

What are you talking about?

[Dan Patrick]

Well, he said saint.

[Levar Arrington]

He's gonna start looking up Google Maps again and giving streets like. No, I know the area.

[Dan Patrick]

He said St. Clair. I was trying to. You know. You were saying, you know the other.

[Levar Arrington]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're saying.

[Rebecca Nagle]

All right.

[Morgan Neville]

Yeah.

[Levar Arrington]

Every time we mention anything in Columbus, he's like, oh, high Street. Yeah. Everything else, High Street.

[Morgan Neville]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Just because I'm a maps guy, I know things. I travel.

[Rebecca Nagle]

Right.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know what to tell you guys.

[Levar Arrington]

Been there one time.

[Dan Patrick]

You better. I'll tell you right now, you better stop playing with me, boy.

[Levar Arrington]

I'm sorry. What'd you say?

[Dan Patrick]

You heard what I said, boy.

[Levar Arrington]

Why are you cutting off boy?

[Dan Patrick]

That's how we say it out here, man.

[Levar Arrington]

You're an idiot.

[Jonas Knox]

I can't.

[Levar Arrington]

Do you even. Do you even know how you. You would spell it if you would

[Brady Quinn]

say it that way?

[Jonas Knox]

I told.

[Dan Patrick]

I told.

[Jonas Knox]

It was funny. I told him the spelling.

[Dan Patrick]

I told him.

[Levar Arrington]

I was like, do you even know how to spell him, Jonas?

[Dan Patrick]

B O, I.

[Jonas Knox]

Come on.

[Brady Quinn]

There you go.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, that's how we run.

[Levar Arrington]

Hold on. Be honest. Did you know before today's show?

[Fox Sports Radio Announcer]

No.

[Dan Patrick]

So here's a. So during one of the breaks, I told Lavar.

[Jonas Knox]

I was like.

[Dan Patrick]

Because we heard the Brandon Iuk sound. I was like, I'm gonna drop that on Brady, but don't say anything. I'm gonna pick a spot, drop it on to see if he notices. I don't even get it.

[Levar Arrington]

How do I not notice that? I mean, it's so abrupt. It's like. It's like we're trying to say boy, and it just fell off a cliff.

[Dan Patrick]

It's one more time. Stop playing with me. I'm not to be trifled with. Boy, by the way, here it is.

[Jonas Knox]

So good. So good.

[Dan Patrick]

Boy, by the way, toilet paper is a foul brown card issue to dry TP smears and leaves extra men on the field. Dude, wipes are XL wet and built to close out the game properly. Since Send a free 10 pack to a TP user, you know, at dudewipes.com browncard all right, it's coming up next here. Were you there? Because apparently everybody was in the world of sports.

The declaration, which is full of these beautifully rendered sentences and paragraphs about Enlightenment ideals, does also have this darker history to it.

Why is it important for the darker part of the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution? Why is it important that Americans know about it?

[Rebecca Nagle]

Well, if we don't understand the full context in which our nation was founded, we won't understand the full context in which our nation now finds itself.

[Alec Baldwin]

Hi, it's Alec Baldwin. This season on my podcast, here's the thing, I'm speaking with more artists, policymakers and performers like composer Marc Shaiman.

[Morgan Neville]

Once you've established that you have the talent, it's about the hang. It's the pleasure of hanging out with the people that you're with. You know, Rob and I was always a great hang. We would sit in kibbutz for hours and then eventually get around to the music. That's what I mostly think of when I think of him. The time together.

[Alec Baldwin]

Laughing lawyer Robbie Kaplan.

[UnitedHealthcare Employee - Jessa]

The great gift of being a lawyer is the ability to actually change things in our society in a way that very few people can. You can really make a difference to causes in the United States if you bring the right case at the right time.

[Brady Quinn]

Marriage equality.

[UnitedHealthcare Employee - Jessa]

Yeah, Windsor's the perfect example.

[Alec Baldwin]

Director Morgan Neville.

[Robbie Kaplan]

Film school teaches you all the wrong things about making documentary. What do you want to say? Documentary is all about your ear. What do you hear? I feel like my job is listening really, really hard.

[Alec Baldwin]

Listen to here's the thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Dan Patrick]

It's the Dan Patrick show here on Fox Sports Radio. Levar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox in for Dan and the guys coming up in, we'll call it a little over 15 minutes from now. We're gonna do something here. It's called the fsrir. It's any issues, injuries, ailments for the crew from a long holiday weekend that'll be yours right here on fsr. By the way, a reminder that we are brought to you by Panini America. The hottest rookies, biggest superstars and all time greats. The only place to collect them all is Panini trading cards, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show for instant classics, autograph cards, memorabilia cards, rare inserts and more. Start or continue your collection now at Panini America. And guys, I want to say, you know, congratulations to, to the Kelsey's. So if you've listened along on this show long enough, you also know that there were a couple of people who doubted love, I would say disrespected it. And that would be Lavar Arrington and Brady Quinn, who both questioned the legitimacy of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's relationship, thought it was a publicity stunt, thought it was the NFL trying to take some of the fans of Taylor Swift and infiltrate their league and their sport. And it was me alone who said, no, no, no, no. Let's not jump to conclusions here. Give him a chance. This is just a couple that wanted something to be lasting and fulfilling and something that was honest and legitimate and something quiet. So they were married at Madison Square Garden over the weekend, and I'm assuming you two were not invited, but it seems like everybody else was, so I'd like to take this time to just say congratulations, and I hope you have a happy and successful and lasting marriage.

[Brady Quinn]

You aren't invited either. He made me and Brady like you weren't invited.

[Dan Patrick]

I had stuff going on.

[Levar Arrington]

Okay, can someone explain to me why there are so many random people invited? I mean, there were people who. I don't even know if they knew them at all to any capacity that were invited. I. Look, just. I'm more of an intimate type guy. Like, pretty private about the personal life, you know, family life. I'll share some stuff, but I just. If you're gonna do a grand gesture like that, I guess you might as well open it up to the entire free world, but. Well, I guess with the exception of the barricades and the security, actually get in Madison Square Garden, but.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know.

[Levar Arrington]

I wouldn't have handled it that way. Either way, I'm glad it's over. I'm glad they're together. Still not sure it's. It's legit.

[Brady Quinn]

I mean.

[Levar Arrington]

Well, I guess we'll see if it's legit or not, But, I mean, seems like it, I guess.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, it was a real who's who, and I. I didn't know that, like, Baker Mayfield was there some. Matthew Stafford was there.

[Levar Arrington]

Yeah, but you could see how football players would cross paths. Like, I. Did Justin Thomas, the golfer, go.

[Dan Patrick]

Did he.

[Levar Arrington]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[Brady Quinn]

Baker Mayfield was smashing his chicken, that one.

[Levar Arrington]

Oh, no, that was. That was Wyndham Clark. Oh, yeah, that was the US Open window Clark.

[Daniel Alarcon]

What?

[Brady Quinn]

Well, I mean, he said it. I didn't.

[Levar Arrington]

He did, but he's. He's rebounded pretty well. Check that out. You find Emily Tanner's Instagram page. Anyway, the point is, it felt like there was just a lot of random people invited. Some people are even speculating based on the invite list. Some of this may be attributed to what Travis Kelce wants to do next. Like, there's executives from Amazon and Fox who are there, so maybe that's his next move, which I thought was odd, but I guess also they probably really like that. Being invited to a wedding of that magnitude and feeling like they had a, you know, a foot in the door for maybe getting Kelsey services.

[Dan Patrick]

I mean, that's a. That's a hell of a way to try and, you know, tie it all together. That Amazon and Fox were there so they would be the front runners to get Travis Kelsey after he decides to walk away. I. I'll be honest with you. If I did get invited, I'm good. Like, have fun, everybody. That's way too much for me. That's why. Listen, Brady. And Brady knows this. Look, man, I told him. He's like, man, when are you going to get married? You know, you guys have been together forever. I'm like, hold on, man, I got a plan. He goes, so when's it going to be? I'm like, pandemic. Once there's a pandemic, prices will drop and you'll have the awkward, hey, social distancing stuff. And so because that was going around, I didn't want to invite that many people anyway, so you use that as an excuse.

[Levar Arrington]

So cheap.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm telling you, man, he was so cheap.

[Levar Arrington]

Do you know he didn't have. He had a cash bar. Like, he made people pay for drinks.

[Dan Patrick]

That's correct.

[Alec Baldwin]

Yep.

[Dan Patrick]

I gave both, by the way.

[Jonas Knox]

Is that.

[Levar Arrington]

Not to get off on a complete tangent, but I do think this is necessary. Is that not the ultimate? Like, you went to a bad wedding if they make you pay for drinks?

[Alec Baldwin]

Yes.

[Brady Quinn]

I won't say ultimate, but that definitely is on the checklist.

[Levar Arrington]

What's. What's ranked higher on that list of bad weddings? Is it no alcohol at all? I'm not judging, by the way, if that's how you choose to do your nuptials and. And all that, a limited.

[Brady Quinn]

A limited free bar is. Is offensive. I'd rather pay for the drink I want than have a limited free bar with nothing that I want at all.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I went to one, My buddy had one where it was free bar for like an hour. And then after that you had to pay.

[Brady Quinn]

It's like, that's not bad. Like, they gave you a little bit of time. Don't be.

[Dan Patrick]

If you're gonna do it, go all the way.

[Miller Lite Announcer]

Enough.

[Jonas Knox]

What is this?

[Brady Quinn]

Don't. Don't be a hypocrite. Like, we. We're just listening. We're. We're only talking about this based off of how cheap you are about how you went about your wedding.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, but a full blown pandemic. Not. Not a pandemic for an hour.

[Brady Quinn]

All I'm saying is, if you're going to have a bar, have a bar, have it open and have them be able to deliver whatever drink it is they want. If it's nothing crazy, if it's not like a slushy or something like that, a daiquiri of some sort, if it's just a regular mixed drink that the person would want with a decent line of wine, whether red and white, you're good. But a limited bar offensive, a limited time, free bar, cordial courtesy. But you just ain't got it. And I understand that. Like that. That makes sense. No bar at all. You shouldn't have had a wedding, wait till you can afford a bar and then have your wedding.

[Levar Arrington]

Some people have it for. Some people have. For religious reasons.

[Miller Lite Announcer]

But.

[Brady Quinn]

But man, religious people drink too, man.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brady Quinn]

Jesus said, I don't usually do this, but he turned that water back in the wine and said, keep the party going.

[Levar Arrington]

Oh, boy.

[Brady Quinn]

I'm just saying. He did touch the wall.

[Levar Arrington]

Jonas, do we have any details from the wedding you could share with us that listeners would maybe want to know? Or is this just. We put on this segment altogether?

[Dan Patrick]

I mean, I don't. What, like, what details? I haven't seen much. Just pictures of who attended. I saw, you know, the Staffords were there. I saw Baker Mayfield. Who else was there? That was kind of a Rand

[Alec Baldwin]

trying

[Dan Patrick]

to think, oh, there was some discussion because Taylor Swift's her best friend was wearing the same dress as somebody else who also arrived. It's like, dude, there's only so many Macy's around. Like, of course you're going to be wearing the same stuff from time to time. It is what it is. And then it was a big. I will say this. I do admire the subtle frugalness of it all, because you think, Madison Square Garden, man, this is going to be expensive.

[Daniel Alarcon]

Sure.

[Dan Patrick]

But it was on a weekday. All right, so they did. They did put this together on a weekday, which. Weekday weddings are much more affordable than weekend weddings. So I do, I do, you know, admire their. Their way to work that in.

[Brady Quinn]

And.

[Dan Patrick]

And congratulations to them.

[Brady Quinn]

That's a. That's where I begin and end with the congratulations and good luck. I know what marriage is like. It's not easy. I can only imagine how much more complicated and. And difficult it is to maintain a healthy relationship when you're Both famous and one is, like, crazy, crazy, crazy famous. So, yeah, I just wish him luck there. That's it. I'm not going to get too deep with that part of it, you know?

[Levar Arrington]

I like that. I like what you did there.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I like what you did.

[Levar Arrington]

Can I ask this? Did he sign the prenup, you think? Like, how do you think that one.

[Brady Quinn]

I would. Why not?

[Levar Arrington]

Yeah. Jonas likes that now. Now we're getting spicy. Jonas.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Fox Sports Radio Announcer]

Did he.

[Jonas Knox]

What?

[Brady Quinn]

He's locked up right now.

[Levar Arrington]

What do you mean?

[Brady Quinn]

He wasn't at the. He wasn't at the wedding, so.

[Miller Lite Announcer]

What?

[Dan Patrick]

Wait, what?

[Brady Quinn]

You asked about Diddy. You said Diddy. I said he wasn't at the wedding.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I missed. Yeah.

[Brady Quinn]

Okay. All right. That was over your head.

[Rebecca Nagle]

Yeah.

[Levar Arrington]

I don't know.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm not.

[Brady Quinn]

I'm just saying. Was there baby oil at the.

[Dan Patrick]

It's still early.

[Levar Arrington]

His mind went to the actual prenuptial agreement. He was literally. He was standing too little.

[Brady Quinn]

He really was.

[Dan Patrick]

It's still. It's still early. I'm not greased up yet.

[Brady Quinn]

And if he did sign a prenup, what would that prenup consist of? Does he get nothing? Do they walk away with what they both left with, or do you say. Because, for what it's worth, you would have to say both of their values were. Were boosted, even though Taylor Swift wouldn't necessarily need it. But I would argue Taylor Swift's brand took a decisive, you know, trending up more based off of her, you know, integration into football culture.

[Dan Patrick]

I mean, and she took him away from all the stuff he was into.

[Levar Arrington]

Yeah. What culture? She take him away from culture?

[Dan Patrick]

Hey, man, us.

[Brady Quinn]

She took him away from us.

[Dan Patrick]

All of a sudden they're gonna sign with the Lakers.

[Levar Arrington]

Was he on. Was he on your team?

[Brady Quinn]

Yeah, he was. Yeah, he was. You know, he was.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah.

[Brady Quinn]

And she out here talking about,

[Alec Baldwin]

were

[Levar Arrington]

you top gunning Travis Kelsey?

[Brady Quinn]

I mean, she wasn't bad. She was not a bad catch, I'll tell you that. He was good to go. I mean, they were going to have more athletic kids, you know, But I'm learning this as I get older, too. Being athletic isn't everything either, you know, like, you're growing up as a kid, like, oh, your kid is more smart, more into other things rather than being an athlete. There's nothing wrong with that. There's a different. There's. There's different worlds out there, different parallels. You don't have to just be an athlete, but he would have had an athlete with the Other one. Now he's going to have a thespian with this one.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I mean.

[Brady Quinn]

I mean, I would assume thespian.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, yeah, listen, she's, you know, probably be a great.

[Brady Quinn]

You know, the funniest thing is, is when people always correct me like none of y' all corrected me, which was kind of funny. It's like the first time I've said it and never been.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, the ones you say thespian.

[Brady Quinn]

Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, whatever.

[Brady Quinn]

And they love to correct me and say thespian. Which they're right. But I was right, too.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, hey, listen, that love is so real. That.

[Brady Quinn]

How real is it? Real love? Love that Mary J. Blige love.

[Dan Patrick]

He forgot every. Everything. Everything.

[Brady Quinn]

I mean, he totally left home. Blake. Home plate.

[Levar Arrington]

Home base.

[Brady Quinn]

Home plate.

[Dan Patrick]

He ventured out.

[Brady Quinn]

Oh, I was going to say.

[Dan Patrick]

Do you think. Do you think Rob Polinka set him up with Taylor Swift? What?

[Brady Quinn]

Yeah, keep the theme. Yeah, keep the theme consistent.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, we gotta.

[Brady Quinn]

Were there a lot of Lakers at the. Were there a lot of Lakers at the wedding?

[Dan Patrick]

They were on her side.

[Brady Quinn]

Were there protests outside? Was color cow hurt on the knee or knocking cow her? Was Colin Kaepernick on the D outside? Were they protesting them? The wedding on the outside?

[Jonas Knox]

Dang.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, congratulations.

[Brady Quinn]

And was Reverend Al Sharpton out there?

[Dan Patrick]

Maybe that reverend you showed me a short time ago.

[Brady Quinn]

Oh, maybe send that to Brady.

[Alec Baldwin]

Listen to here's the thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts, the World cup is

[Daniel Alarcon]

underway and it's been incredible. On our podcast the Away End with Daniel Alarcon and John Green, we're talking about the games that have delighted us, the teams that have inspired us, what we're loving and what surprised us all through the lens of being massive fans of the world's most beautiful game.

[John Green]

Daniel this tournament has been magical so far. The expanded fans field of teams has created some incredible matchups that have already made this World cup one to remember. And now things get even more exciting with the intensity of the knockout rounds as the field is whittled down to one World cup champion on July 19.

[Daniel Alarcon]

When you say it like that, I get a pain in my heart that the tournament is over. But there's a lot of soccer yet to go and if the first few games of the round of 32 are any indication, anything is possible in the lead up to the final final. We've got it covered from an ultra's perspective here on the away end.

This is where we report any issues, injuries, ailments from a long holiday weekend here for the crew. So anybody got anything to report? Any?

[Brady Quinn]

Well, it wasn't me, but it was one of my alums and one of my fellow lettermen and you know, all Americans and Tamba Ali, he was working out and training with, with Madman with Hyrun Gracie, one of the famed Gracie brothers Gracie family. Well, apparently they were going so hard for so long. Tomba sweated out. Like literally sweated out. So we were leaving the Gracie University to go to the beach, to go get in the water, cold water, hydrotherapy, whatever we get there, we're waiting, we're calling. He's not answering. Calling, he's not answering. And finally his wife answers and goes, yeah, he's, he's laid out in the parking lot. We're still here at the parking lot. And we called the medic because he was dehydrating, overly dehydrating. So I'm a big, I'm a big proponent and everybody knows I'm a big supporter of first responders. Apparently it sounded like the Torrance Fire Department. One of the guys in particular was just not fond of, of being there to assist Tomba being dehydrated and was like mishandling him, so to speak. Like, was really, really jagging. And jerking and whatever the. The ivy. It didn't want to really do it. Then he ends up doing it, doing it all kinds of different times. All I'll say is I hope Torrance Fire Department, you know, I hope that they. They. It isn't all the way true that. That they didn't want to help him out. All he was. Was dehydrated. And we're all here to protect and serve, but that was my talking about Tomba. Tomba went into a full cramp, full body cramp after training and. And Torrance and the fire department didn't want to help. They kind. It kind of seemed like I guess it was one guy in particular that wasn't really into it. So. Hope. Hope you do better a little bit moving forward, you know.

[Levar Arrington]

Am I missing something? Who's Tomba?

[Brady Quinn]

Oh, wow. You don't know who Tomba is?

[Levar Arrington]

Who are we referring to?

[Brady Quinn]

Tamba Ali. Tomba.

[Jonas Knox]

Ali.

[Brady Quinn]

You played for Kansas City.

[Levar Arrington]

Yeah, I played with him. Sorry, I nearly say his last name.

[Jonas Knox]

Name. Yeah.

[Levar Arrington]

Miss that. My bad.

[Brady Quinn]

I didn't know that there was a few guys out there. I didn't know you needed to say their whole name. I felt like Tomba might be wanted to. Like this. I only know one Tomba.

[Levar Arrington]

Yeah, now I think about it, I know one too. I just. I didn't want to assume that we both only knew one Tomba.

[Brady Quinn]

Yeah, well, yeah.

[Levar Arrington]

So that Judas, how many Thomas do you know?

[Dan Patrick]

None. I don't even know him.

[Brady Quinn]

He knows a Mandevu, though.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Brady Quinn]

The Melee.

[Levar Arrington]

The Melee characters. The Count of Monte Cristo or.

[Brady Quinn]

No, they're from. They're from Big Cat. They're from that. That show. What was it? Big Cats.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know.

[Brady Quinn]

Cats of the cats of the Serengeti or something like that.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, my brother, he told everybody he was going to name his kids average. Ah, okay.

[Rebecca Nagle]

Yeah.

[Brady Quinn]

They followed these two lions around that were brothers, and one. One is Green Streets with Fire, which I think is Antoine Bailey or something like that.

[Levar Arrington]

You know how there's always those stats of, like, how many people burn themselves on fourth of July or lose fingers? I think we had Lorena talk about that on our show last week. Our family. Our family became a statistic.

[Brady Quinn]

Oh, yeah, no, I know.

[Jonas Knox]

And.

[Levar Arrington]

And I'm not gonna shed any blame, however, I wasn't even aware that my wife. Wife bought like, any sort of fireworks you already blamed.

[Brady Quinn]

There you go. The blame took place.

[Miller Lite Announcer]

Good move.

[Levar Arrington]

All right, easy. I mean, now I feel you're putting me in a corner all right.

[Brady Quinn]

No, no, no.

[Levar Arrington]

I'm just saying I walked out into a situation where I saw a bunch of sparklers. I was like, all right, that's safe. That's good for the kids. Right? It's not gonna hurt anything.

[Brady Quinn]

Oh, no.

[Levar Arrington]

By the way, her little trick, you. You light it for the bottom, and then it burns up as opposed to down. Do we talk about this last week?

[Brady Quinn]

No.

[Fox Sports Radio Announcer]

Yeah.

[Levar Arrington]

So it's an interesting little way of doing it if you. If you want in the future, if you light it on the bottom closest to your hand. If you give it to a kid after that, it burns away from them as opposed to burning from the top down. So little trick that obviously wasn't where the burn came in. Was completely unaware of someone then going into the package of fireworks and then lighting smoke bombs, which are. Are smelly. They don't do anything besides smoke. And it's not really that cool. It's not like back in the day where, like, you're watching a ninja movie or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles where you throw the smoke bomb to, like, you know, get out of somewhere. It's not like that. They just fizzle, smell bad, and then they burn really hot. And unfortunately, one of the kids was running around without shoes on.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, no.

[Fox Sports Radio Announcer]

And.

[Levar Arrington]

And. And stepped on one. Well, even though they thought it was burnt out, they realized it was still hot.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh.

[Levar Arrington]

So.

[UnitedHealthcare Employee - Ben]

Oh, yeah.

[Brady Quinn]

Oh, that was a scream. That was a scream crowd, too.

[Levar Arrington]

Oh, yeah. There's some good blistering. Some good blistering going on. But it was one of those where I. I was, like, looking at the entire situation thinking, you know, I wasn't involved in any of this. I just happened to walk into it, and I was like, oh, well, I mean, probably less into the masses. Like, dad should probably be a part of whatever's going on with fireworks. I'll just. I'll leave it at that. But it's probably good to have dad involved in the planning and execution of how fireworks should go off.

[Brady Quinn]

You know, now I'm thinking about. I got burnt, too. I got burnt.

[Dan Patrick]

This.

[Brady Quinn]

I wasn't paying attention. I wasn't paying attention. And one of the homies was passing, and I grabbed the. The. The cherry end of. Of the blunt of.

[Miller Lite Announcer]

Ah,

[Dan Patrick]

I hate when that happens.

[Brady Quinn]

I burnt my hand.

[Dan Patrick]

Been there, haven't you, before? Oh, tell me about it.

[Brady Quinn]

You got to pay attention to when you're grabbing the blunt so you don't burn yourself.

[Dan Patrick]

This is an Iheart podcast.

[Brady Quinn]

Guaranteed human.
