Lavar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here in for DP and the guys live from the tirerack.com studios. Tirerack.com will help you get there. An unmatched selection fast free shipping, free road hazard protection and over 10,000 recommended installers. Tire rack.com the way tire buying should be so we mentioned what the Cleveland Browns might do at quarterback or, excuse me, at the number two pick and the feeling is they're going to go with Travis Hunter. That's at least what what the speculation. And the question then becomes what's the long term plan at quarterback? Well, listen, Andrew Barry, the GM there says it's a little too early to tell whether or not Deshaun Watson can play in 2025. I'd like to offer this up. Some would argue it's debatable whether or not he's played yet for the organization based on what has happened, suspensions, performance, et cetera, et cetera. But nonetheless, now they've got a quarterback room that's got Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett. Joe Flacco was brought back. He won Comeback Player of the Year a couple of years ago. And so the discussion was being had with the fan in Cleveland. He was talking with Ken Carmen and Anthony Lima about the development of quarterbacks in the NFL and had this to say.
Olivia Carville
I do think it's important for young.
George M. Johnson
Quarterbacks to be able to learn. You don't want to put a young.
Olivia Carville
Quarterback in a football game before he's actually ready. You know, there's just so many things.
George M. Johnson
In the cycle in this league these.
Olivia Carville
Days is just so quick.
George M. Johnson
You want these guys to be ready.
Olivia Carville
And I do think there's huge advantages to being able to sit back and make sure you get and gain that confidence and really, really learn the game and get the team surrounded in a good way so that you can go out there and have success. And I think that stuff happens naturally through like competition in different rooms. And you know, like the more competition you have and the more people you have competing, the more conversations come up and the more people learn. I think that's true in not just in sports but in every environment. You want good people in A room together that can push each other and.
George M. Johnson
And then you'll get the most out of everybody.
Lavar Arrington
So that was Joe Flacco talking with the fan in Cleveland about the development of quarterbacks there.
George M. Johnson
I mean, well, yeah, he's, you know, 40 years old now or, you know, that's, that's what it sounds like. I mean, when you played for as long as he has 17 years, it's going to come off that way. And I think, look, going back to his experience, he was a guy who started, you know, as a rookie and you know, they had a lot of team success. He was good as a rookie. He continually got better and better and better. But you know, when you go back and look at the course of his career, he had continually developed into the position after his first couple years to really be a guy that they could rely on in particular in the clutch. And I think what he probably learned from his looking back at his rookie year and even just playing for as long as he played is, you know, and this kind of happens, I think, to all of us as fathers like you, you look at your child or you look at younger generations and you're like, oh, I remember going through that, like this is probably what they don't know or this is what they need to know in order to be able to do this the right way or be successful. And, and now again, playing as long as he has, he's seeing all that in real time as he's, you know, had to kind of come in and pinch hit, if you will, for a lot of, you know, younger guys. His stint in CLEVELAND Back in 2023, a couple of years ago, and even last year for Anthony Richardson. And I think he's very aware of how different things are now, you know, for quarterbacks coming into the league where they draft them, they play them and they rinse them out, right? They don't get any time to really sit, watch and learn unless you're a part of an organization that tries to do it right, or if you've got a Hall of Fame guy sitting there in front of them, or at least a Pro bowl caliber guy like an Alex Smith or in the case of Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers and then Jordan Love. So that, that's really few and far between. Right. Most teams are hoping they could find a guy that's gonna be a Pro bowl caliber quarterback, let alone a Hall of Famer. And so I think his, you know, his words are wise in the sense of probably everything he's experienced as a starter, as a backup, as a Guy who, look, he's made a ton of money at this point in time, his career, he's won a Super Bowl. He's. He's continually been able to prove that he can still do it, and so he doesn't need to. I think there's a desire of want to and at the same time, being able to be a guy who's. He's got five kids, you know, he's. He's a family man. So he probably sees it from a lot different perspective than a lot of guys who play the position, especially a lot of the young guys.
Olivia Carville
Dang, five kids, he can sling that pill, huh? He's a quarterback on and off.
Lavar Arrington
I think. I think he also said he was. It was kind of nice to get away from his kids for a little bit. He was kind of half joking, but I think he just wanted a break.
Olivia Carville
I think it's. I think it's a wise move to bring in Flacco for one reason and one reason alone. We could work from there. In my estimation, it's because you have someone that can stabilize an unstable environment as, as the quarterback. I think the desean Watson conversation has created so much, so much confusion, so much, you know, kind of, you know, is it conflict of how you want to feel about the situation? Is it, you know, what's next for the situation? There's so much surrounding desean Watson that has been a. An agent of deterioration for the Cleveland Browns to bring a. A rookie into that equation, whether they're prepared for it, mentally, emotionally, physically, to be able to handle it or not. It's really an unfair task and, and wait to. To put on the shoulders of a newly acquired, a newly hired talent for that position for your team. So. And knowing that, that that element is still there, like whoever goes in has to accept the fact that DeShawn Watson still has to be a part of the conversation. In terms of whose team is this at that position, that would be the first thing that I would say would be the wisest move and bringing in a quarterback would be to bring in a guy like Joe Flacco, who things like that are not going to bother him. He's already clearly shown you that it's not going to bother him. He's on borrowed time anyway. He's at the end of his career, and anything that he gets from this moment on is he's playing with house money. So he's going to go in there. He's familiar with the front office, he's familiar with guys that are in the locker room. And he's going to be a positive force to. To the players that are in there and other people that are around, including the fan base. He's. He's a positive asset to add to your team and to add to your room. And, hey, if Pickett proves out then and. And is able to learn some things from Flaco during this time and you get. Get a bonus and. And pick it developing. If you take a draft pick somewhere, they got a few. They. They got the 33rd pick in the second round. That's a pretty, Pretty. Pretty good position to be in, to either be able to move up maybe a little bit in the second round or sit there and somebody's going to possibly fall to you at that 33rd pick. I think that for what it's worth, and you may not hear me say this often, I think Cleveland played this particular situation the right way in terms of a. A quarterback that can handle what's going on right now in Cleveland.
Lavar Arrington
When he talks about, like, developing young quarterbacks and, you know, how to. How teams go about or how they should go about, still blows my mind that or. And I know it's not an exact science and every player is different and all that, but it still blows my mind that you draft a guy is almost. He's an investment. And I don't know a whole hell of a lot about investing, but I do know that it does take some time, and you don't want to, like, you know, manipulate your investment too soon because you got to let it grow a little bit. You got to let it. And Joe Flacco's point was like, man, I think we got to be a little bit more patient. But nowadays they're just not. They want to know now. All right, can you play now? Well, who the hell knows? Like, it could be situation. It could be time. It could be another scenario altogether. Alex Smith took years before he developed. He went through, like, seven coaches or offensive coordinators, whatever it was, and finally he found something. Had they pulled the rug out early on, he would have never developed into a guy that, you know, brought Kansas City to where they were before Patrick Mahomes took. Took over and got him over the hump. You look at Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, man, if you would have talked to the Browns back then, the book was written on Baker Mayfield. And yet, for some reason, it just feels like, no, we got to know now. We need an answer now. It's an investment. But no, no, we got to have some answers.
Olivia Carville
We got to have some returns now with Deshaun Watson. It's just like, I feel like Baker Mayfield might have done something. He flirted with the wrong person or something, man.
Lavar Arrington
And I, look, I think, I think Rogers person, somebody's.
Olivia Carville
He, he, he upset somebody.
Lavar Arrington
I think Rogers, you know, has kind of made this point before to where, like, man, there's, there's got to be some trust, like some, hey, look, we are trusting. You're making the decision and we're trusting this pick at this time, and let's let it grow. Instead, it's like, no, he can't play. He's gotta go. Like. And there's so many examples of that. And I don't get why in a, in a business like the NFL where you are dependent on everybody around you to be successful, why it all comes down to now that guy can't play well. No, like, you've got to produce the environment for him to play. And that seems to be lost in so many situations.
George M. Johnson
So I keep going back to, to how different the game is at the NFL level from the college level. And I hope people understand this, that RPOs, they're not as capable or impactful at the NFL level. Because the rule that you could only have in an eligible lineman, for example, downfield only a yard in college and high school, it's three. And honestly, it's more like three and a half because it's so hard for officials to be able to see it at that point in the play. I mean, when you, when you picture or think about an offensive lineman moving three yards downfield, that's a couple seconds into the play, right? He's moving through a gigantic human being across from. Even if he's uncovered moving up to the next level, he's still trying to get a sense for where that linebacker is going to be. Because don't get it twisted, it is a run play. All right? There's different types of pass protections. There's pass pro, there's run action pro, where it's a pass play. The linemen know not to go downfield, but they are doing their best to block it like it's a run. And so their responsibilities in regards to pressure are off. They don't adjust anything they're doing. They are relying on the fake in a run action pass protection to be able to take care of whatever is going on. And pre snap, if the quarterback sees something that he's like, this is a disaster. You get out of it, right? You audible out of it. But it's entirely different with an rpo. It is a run Play that quarterback has the opportunity to hand that football off high school, college level, even at the NFL level, the way it's taught. And then you're triggering or you're reading off one player on defense. And so the game has become so simplified at the high school to college level to where you have one of two choices. You're either keeping it and you're going to throw. Depending on what that defender does, if he steps up to stop the run, or if he stays back in coverage, you're going to hand the football off. And honestly, RPOs have replaced what used to be quick game, the three step game, where even in three step drop, it sounds somewhat simple, right? 1, 2, 3, you're throwing the football, you're not really able to hitch up in the pocket because you're not getting any depth. You still had to read coverage. Even in a three step game, you had a one high or two high look, meaning if there was one safe in the middle of the field, you're working to your left. If there's two high safeties, right, a split safety look, you're working to your right. Or there could be a three by one set where you're checking your backside, singled up route. If you like, you take it. If not, you're probably working a quick progression to the other side. So that used to be like the simplest form of passing back when I was young, back when a lot of quarterbacks were growing up through an era at a time where you used to play under center a little bit more or even if you were in shotgun, that was part of the quick game. The RPO game has essentially replaced that because you get the ability to put the defense in conflict much more because there's that run pass conflict of reading that, that overhang defender or whoever, whatever defender it is to decide if you want to throw or run the football. And if you think about what three step passing game was, it was like a glorified handoff. It was a higher percentage pass that you're going to be able to complete and not get a big gain, but move the sticks or at least get enough of a game where it puts you in third and manageable or you're back on track if you happen to take a loss on first down. And so you're back in third and manageable. Right. You know, in those instances. So to me, the subtle differences in how the game is taught at high school, to college, and now to the NFL is one of those things that it takes time and you're making these decisions in seconds. One, one thousand, two one thousand. Ball's got to be out and you've got all these other things you have to be worried about. It's not really that way at a lot of the colleges, even with some of the NFL, you know, coaches that are down at that level or even what they're asking of, you know, what they're doing. And it's why the NFL has had to adapt a lot of their offensive scheme to what these quarterbacks are accustomed to doing because they don't have the time to develop and no one has the patience anymore to see if they can develop into being that guy. They have to be able to show it in their rookie year. Otherwise everyone throws them the wayside.
Lavar Arrington
That's weird, man. It's unfortunate for these guys that just get lumped in. Like can think about Kenny Pickett. What's he on his third team? Third team, he just got drafted.
Olivia Carville
He just got traded.
Lavar Arrington
He's traded twice. It's on his third team like he just got into the league like not that long ago. We were at that draft in Vegas when he was, when he was selected and just the books apparently already written. It is two pros and a cup of Joe in for the Dan Patrick show here on fox Sports Radio. LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you in for DP and the guys coming up next. Here, though, somebody's got a unique idea for the NFL draft. Why, though? We'll answer that question and we'll do it next.

In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare.
Olivia Carville
Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own.
Margie Murphy
I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet, and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography.

This should be illegal, but what is this?

It's a Dan Patrick show, Fox Sports Radio, Levar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox in for DP and the guys coming up here a little over 20 minutes from now. We're going to Give you a little special glimpse, little look ahead to the NBA playoffs. So that'll be yours here on Fox Sports Radio. Now this is like, like we're talking money making opportunities here. And we'll start with the playing games. So again, that'll be yours a little over 20 minutes from now here on FSR. So we were mentioning this, Brady, you brought up that the Rams don't hold top 30 visits before the draft. The Jaguars are doing the same thing. I believe the Jacksonville Jaguars have announced they're going to be doing the same thing. Well, the Rams apparently are two different.
Olivia Carville
Places in terms of success levels in each of these organizations. What do you mean?
Lavar Arrington
Jacksonville's been in a couple of conference.
Olivia Carville
Championship games really long time ago.
Lavar Arrington
Yeah, but you know, you gotta, like what.
Olivia Carville
When I was in high school, you.
Lavar Arrington
Gotta celebrate your success, you know, and Trevor Lawrence won that one playoff game, so I don't know why you have to be so dismissive and almost.
Olivia Carville
Almost had what? Almost had a big win the next round. Right.
Lavar Arrington
Look, if you're trying to go.
Olivia Carville
Been bad ever since though.
Lavar Arrington
If you're trying to go up. Pete Prisco, I don't think that that's the.
Olivia Carville
That ain't the way to go.
Lavar Arrington
That ain't the one you want to. You want to pick.
Olivia Carville
You're right.
Sam Mullins
Let me.
Olivia Carville
Stay away from.
Lavar Arrington
He'll let it fly. Hey, he defends the Jaguars at all costs.
Olivia Carville
My apologies, Pete.
Lavar Arrington
So the, the LA Rams, per CBS Sports, they are going to be holding their draft at the LA Fire Department Air Operations. The LAFD will convert a room at the station into a temporary headquarters for the Rams. And that's where general manager Les need and coach Sean McVeigh will be set up for the draft, which runs April 24 through the fire station. The LAFT will also be opening up space in an adjacent hangar for other coaches along with scouts, team personnel and media. So.
Olivia Carville
Look, I love that.
Lavar Arrington
Yeah, it's awesome. I'm just, I'm just wondering.
Olivia Carville
You're, you're, you're confused though.
Lavar Arrington
Well, I'm just wondering because have they ever done just a draft at their facility? Like, have they ever done one just there? And is their facility so unkept that they need to move this around at different places?
Olivia Carville
Why does that have to.
Lavar Arrington
I don't know. I'm just asking the question. It's a little weird. Like there's not a lot of, you know.
Olivia Carville
Fire station, right? Yeah. Why not? Why not? I mean, it's a great story. I don't know. I don't know what the, the parameters or what how it's done out in, in LA county for firemen. But in Pennsylvania you are, you are volunteers. I do a ton of work with, with our first responders in that area because the numbers are dwindling down and maybe it's something that people aren't paying attention to of firefighters is, is going low, it's going down very quickly and a lot of it has to do with the, the firemen that have been serving and servicing our communities are getting old. They're dying. We're not replenish. Yeah, it's the truth. We're not replenishing them with, with new firemen and new talent. And the funding isn't, isn't there because the funding has to come from the communities. The, the people have to donate in order for the firemen to be able to have fire outfits to have, you know, fire trucks, all that stuff. So I don't know how that is out here in la, but I know this. They've been fighting these wildfires and stuff like that, and that may have a lot to do with why they decided to do it at the fire department is because that the, the fires that we just had here were just crazy. That that was un. Unbelievable how bad that was. So to, to do something like this, I'm not going to go on the side of there being a conspiracy theory connected to why they're doing it like you're doing. Jonas. I think that this makes, I think this makes way more sense to bring awareness to the fact that the first responders of what takes place in our communities. I think it's really cool to take a moment in time to collaborate and bring awareness and a moment where people are paying attention to who they're going to draft or what is this going to make our team better? It also serves a purpose and endearing itself to your community. You know, if, if something doesn't go as well as it could for the, the Rams, the fan base is sitting there looking at it like, yeah, well, these guys are in our communities though. Like they were at our fire station, you know, they did the draft there. Like that's really cool. I think community service, especially with first responders, especially here, I think it's appropriate, I think it's more than appropriate to just leave it at the fact that they're bringing awareness to the people who, who respond to, you know, our emergencies and, and, and geez, a tragedy like the, the LA fires. I mean, I think this is a good moment in time, a good feel Good story.
Lavar Arrington
Okay. Why'd they have it in a Newport beach house?
Olivia Carville
Huh?
Lavar Arrington
One year before, was it that covet and another Malibu beach house?
Olivia Carville
Wasn't that covet?
Lavar Arrington
No, I mean, was that covet? It's never their place, but it's always somewhere else. Was it covet that one year?
George M. Johnson
Yes.
Olivia Carville
Oh, okay.
Lavar Arrington
I mean, what about the other.
Olivia Carville
Everybody did it when they were. Did it at home.
Lavar Arrington
It's a. It's a great story that they're. They're bringing awareness. Obviously. We know what the fire department has gone through out here. They're understaffed. It's like. It's terrible. And that was a great tragedy that we saw take place, and it was awful for everybody involved. Still trying to recover in Malibu. Their businesses were destroyed, all of that.
Olivia Carville
I'm just wondering, did you know that Maestro's is gone?
Lavar Arrington
Yeah, there's a bunch of places.
Olivia Carville
The one that's in Malibu, it's gone. Like, or Santa Monica? Malibu.
George M. Johnson
Malibu.
Lavar Arrington
Malibu, yeah.
Olivia Carville
And that's the one I really enjoy going to. Yeah, it's gone. No longer there.
George M. Johnson
I think they'll be okay.
Israel Gutierrez
Whoa.
George M. Johnson
Oh, there we go.
Lavar Arrington
Yeah.
Olivia Carville
Oh. Oh.
George M. Johnson
Here we go. Okay.
Olivia Carville
Where are you going with this, Q?
George M. Johnson
I don't know. I mean, maybe just the Rams are playing during the draft process. Feeling himself a little bit. The Rams are feeling themselves.
Lavar Arrington
I just. Look, I just want to know.
Olivia Carville
Dang.
Lavar Arrington
I just want to.
George M. Johnson
Maybe little Wheezy's coming out. I don't know. Maybe he's gonna be a part.
Olivia Carville
I mean, that would be cool. Wheezy, dope.
George M. Johnson
Yeah. So you got to bring in some, like, stars and make it fun.
Olivia Carville
He lives here, too, doesn't he? Doesn't he live in la?
George M. Johnson
I think he lives everywhere. Yeah, he's like America's guest.
Olivia Carville
Yeah, that's true.
George M. Johnson
He was just down visit Bill Belichick at unc.
Lavar Arrington
Yeah.
Olivia Carville
Oh, Lil Wayne.
George M. Johnson
Louise. Little Tanichi. Yeah.
Olivia Carville
Little Tucci.
George M. Johnson
This guy. The fire.
Lavar Arrington
A little tongue in cheek.
Olivia Carville
Little tongue in cheek. Come on, man. It's too cheeky.
Lavar Arrington
Listen, I just. I don't know. I would just assume that you could probably get better work done at your own facility where you could concentrate on everything.
George M. Johnson
Isn't the hay in the barn, though? I mean, in all reality, you have so much time leading up to this, and I would imagine that you've got your board set, you've played out a lot of scenarios. I mean, you're doing this for hours every day, and you've probably. Unless there's some late changes in what you're thinking or a late medical thing or character thing pops up that concerns you. I would imagine for the most part though, you've got all the intel, everything you need and you're ready to roll. So I don't know that you really need to necessarily be in your facility. I don't think it makes that big of a difference. I mean, it wasn't Bill Belichick's dog making picks like a few years back from New England Patriots.
Olivia Carville
Wasn't. Wasn't Jerry Jones on his yacht with everybody playing yacht rock.
Lavar Arrington
Wait, does Jerry Jones have a yacht?
Olivia Carville
Hell yeah, dude.
Lavar Arrington
I know he had a tour bus.
Olivia Carville
I thought stay on that tour bus now.
Lavar Arrington
No, I think shot Khan and Dan Snyder of the yacht.
Olivia Carville
I don't think. Yeah, Jerry Jones did the dream yacht.
Lavar Arrington
Lee, can you look that up? See if Jerry Jones is a yacht.
George M. Johnson
Yeah.
Olivia Carville
Bravo, Eugenia. A 357 foot yacht worth $225 million.
George M. Johnson
By the way, everyone always gives Dean a hard time. They're like, what happened on the bus, Dean? What happened on the cowboys bus? Well, what happened on the yacht? Well, Dean Brandino, about the yacht.
Olivia Carville
Ask old Jerry Jones about that yacht.
Lavar Arrington
Yeah, you know I want me some glory. Ho, Jerry, you animal.
Olivia Carville
Two helipads, a sauna, a massage room.
Lavar Arrington
Steam room, plunge pool and rain shower.
George M. Johnson
What are they buying two helipad gods for?
Olivia Carville
He got more than one.
George M. Johnson
Helicopters.
Olivia Carville
Hell yeah.
Lavar Arrington
By the way, it looks like hell yeah, Rich.
Olivia Carville
That man brings party. That man. When I say I'm bringing the party to me, I mean I'm bringing the. The whole damn thing.
Lavar Arrington
Wait, how big is the yacht league?
Olivia Carville
357Ft.
George M. Johnson
Damn.
Lavar Arrington
Still a bit closer to two choppers.
Olivia Carville
No, I had a 60 foot boat before.
T-Mobile Representative
Bigger than a foot.
Olivia Carville
And that was big. And I was happy about it. It was nice.
Lavar Arrington
Mastro boat. Like this is what you're a man of the people. That's the thing.
Olivia Carville
I am, actually. Yeah. That has nothing to do with. I mean, actually it has everything to do with the money that I'm.
Lavar Arrington
Gold teeth, man.
Olivia Carville
I do have gold tooth. Not teeth. It's not plural yet. It's going to be.
George M. Johnson
And the thing is you can't even see it. It's like it's hidden back there.
Olivia Carville
Exactly.
George M. Johnson
Well, unless there's.
Olivia Carville
I guess I'm not a flossy person. I'm not. That boat was. Was purely for enjoyment.
George M. Johnson
I mean, the biggest flex you've ever made was the koi pond in the house. That's still the biggest flex.
Olivia Carville
But they all died.
George M. Johnson
Damn that wasn't your fault.
Olivia Carville
It was not. I tried to save them. I really did.
George M. Johnson
But I'm just saying, like, I don't know anyone else outside of some Asian restaurants that I've been to that have had koi ponds inside. I've seen koi ponds outside. I guess if you count like the win. I think the win casino has one. Or maybe they're in every win. I don't know. I've not been to that many win casinos and hotels. But you are the only individual, not a business, but an individual that I've ever met that's had a koi pond in their house, by the way. So many, so many that died during this.
Olivia Carville
Yeah.
George M. Johnson
Not only did you name them, you had that many. But also the smell you talked about from them dying in that.
Lavar Arrington
Yeah.
George M. Johnson
I mean, if it was one or two, it couldn't smell that bad. No, it was like 10.
Lavar Arrington
Those.
Olivia Carville
No, it was way more than that.
Lavar Arrington
Those fish ate good. You were giving them wagyu beef, right?
Olivia Carville
Something like that?
Lavar Arrington
Yeah.
Olivia Carville
No, the pellets that gave them was really good. I had a very, very good. I was gonna say caretaker. They eat pellets.
Lavar Arrington
Lavar's dude.
Olivia Carville
I had some really, really good. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, my guy handled it. I just, I. I mean, he would stock us up. I throw it in there and feed him, you know. It was a great meeting place too. You know, you like. You sit down. It was right off of my. My. My grand foyer, which I made like the W Hotel. It had a big. Instead of having like a crazy expensive chandelier, I had a disco ball. And that was pretty dope.
Lavar Arrington
Don't we all?
Olivia Carville
I had a big ass disco ball.
George M. Johnson
They do eat worms and insects. So in. That pellet had have been ground up something.
Olivia Carville
It might have been wagyu, man. It might have been.
Lavar Arrington
Think it's called?
Olivia Carville
It's possible. I don't know. I wasn't getting the stuff. I was just getting it stuck by my. My pond guy who built.
George M. Johnson
Jonas, you tell me. You would never have a koi pond in your house. If you could build a house, have one of that size.
Olivia Carville
If y'all want to see a flex, look at what I just sent y'all.
Lavar Arrington
Absolutely not.
Olivia Carville
This is. This is the draft gift I got for Abdul Carter, just so y'all know.
George M. Johnson
So if you're not showing me a picture of that koi pond in that house, I don't want to see it, man.
Olivia Carville
Do I have a picture?
Lavar Arrington
I'll show you a picture of it. It A Lee, can you pull up a cemetery and send it over to Brady?
Olivia Carville
That's pretty, that's pretty cold blooded, man.
George M. Johnson
Just for the record, I had played no part in this. I seriously want to see the koi bond.
Olivia Carville
I gotta see if I can find it.
Lavar Arrington
I got a thing about dead bodies.
Olivia Carville
Oh no. Oh no.
Lavar Arrington
You imagine walking into that house though. I mean, the house is so big you probably couldn't smell it. But like, you imagine like walking into Lamar's house and just the odor of.
Olivia Carville
Dead koi, you know, was when that big ass storm took place and, and no one could get there. No one could get in there. So I couldn't get my, my generator. I couldn't get gas for my generator because no one could get. Get to me. So we ended up going out, losing power and we weren't able to. Yeah. Save them.
George M. Johnson
When you look back on that, do you look at spending money on the koi pond and the koi in general and regret it or are you like, no, that was a good purchase.
Olivia Carville
I regret that they had to go out that way like that. That, that bothers me. I think about them every so often all alone.
George M. Johnson
Hey, God's got a plan though, man. Yeah, God's got a plan.
Olivia Carville
I, I felt really, really terrible about it.
Lavar Arrington
But what's their plan? Somebody throw him down at Andy.
Olivia Carville
They did give us some, some great years though. They gave us some great years. They grew from little baby baby koi to like really, really big, big koi. Like they got really big and they were very happy up until that, that happened. Like, like I said, it was like a meeting joint. Like we go sit there, we could talk. Like they will come up to you. Like they, they swim up to you like very, very energetically. Like come up to you and they like be like, you got something for me? Yeah. I give you a handful of pellets, this, that and other. You feed them, they'd be right there, boom, hanging out with you.
George M. Johnson
So you don't, you don't regret the purchase. Obviously. That's what it sounds like.
Olivia Carville
Because they were so therapeutic for, for all everybody who came. That would be where you sit. Like you sit near the koi pond. There was a shuffleboard table nearby. There was a pool table nearby. Like a lot of TVs. It was very comfortable.
George M. Johnson
My only experience is when you walk into the wi. There's certain entrances, but they've got a koi pond and it is very relaxing. It, it's, it's like just. It's pretty. It's nice. It's like, oh, do you want to do money in your casino?
Olivia Carville
Right. Well. But the most.
George M. Johnson
My most recent terrible purchase was, you know, we got our infant, so we're still getting up in the middle of the night, trying to get him to sleep through the night. And I was, like, delirious. And I had had this flavor of ice cream from graders. They've got a limited edition. It's strawberry with, like, chocolate chip inside. It's. It's amazing.
Olivia Carville
Sounds good.
George M. Johnson
But it's a limited edition, and I don't know when they're gonna stop selling it. So I loaded up on, like, a six pack.
Olivia Carville
That's hilarious.
George M. Johnson
And I told my wife this morning.
Olivia Carville
It says a limited.
George M. Johnson
I said, hey, babe. I. I made a stupid purchase last night. She's like, what? I go, I just got six little mini pints of strawberry chocolate chip. I go, I know you like it too. And she goes, yeah, I'm. I'm kind of on this new diet. I'm trying to avoid dairy. She's like, you're a. And I was like, yeah, well, okay. I regret it. I don't know when I'll actually get to those things, when I'll eat it, but if you can go out and try that, because it is absolutely delicious right now.
Lavar Arrington
Yeah, but they're gonna stink.
George M. Johnson
Jonas. Jonas, I know you won't. You don't eat dairy, so. No.
Lavar Arrington
Yeah, there's no graders out here, so.
George M. Johnson
Really?
Lavar Arrington
Yeah.
George M. Johnson
You can't find any grocery stores.
Lavar Arrington
Lee, is there graders out here?
Olivia Carville
We. Well, I used to get it all the time after being gifted some graters from Brady, and me and the lady friend would get it all the time, but they stopped. What? Say what?
Lavar Arrington
You know, me and the lady. Chris, is there graders out here? Yeah, it's Jonas Knox's Christmas gifts. Well, yeah, but that. You can, like, mail it and get it shipped. But I mean, like, no, no, no. Out here.
Olivia Carville
No, no, no.
Lavar Arrington
God know, they used to carry it.
T-Mobile Representative
At one of the supermarkets, but they stopped.
Lavar Arrington
God forbid.
George M. Johnson
But even then, I mean, you're not gonna eat a Jonas. You. That's gonna look like someone opened up a Yoo and poured it down your pants.
Lavar Arrington
I mean, that is true.
Olivia Carville
Bloop.
Lavar Arrington
That is true.
Olivia Carville
That's disgusting.
Lavar Arrington
Yeah, Brady knows better. You buy me a milkshake, there better be a pair of socks that come along with it. Dang. It's not gonna go well.
Olivia Carville
See what I sent y'all?
George M. Johnson
I did.
Olivia Carville
Yeah, that's.
George M. Johnson
So who makes that for you? To give to him.
Olivia Carville
It's a collaboration. Go. Shout out gold. Gold. The gold store.
George M. Johnson
Okay, I see the gld. I see.
Olivia Carville
Yeah. So yeah. Shouts out now that's ridiculous.
Lavar Arrington
Why don't you give me one of those?
Olivia Carville
Ah, because you're not a sticks. What do you mean you're not a stick?
Lavar Arrington
Have you seen my legs?
Olivia Carville
I mean, your legs are sticks, but you're not a sticks. Getaway sticks.
Lavar Arrington
Yeah, that's what I call them.
Olivia Carville
Maybe, maybe if we. Maybe if we make it to the bigs, you know, maybe we'll. We'll. I'll get us all chains. Although I know Brady definitely won't wear a chain. That's not his thing. But he could put it in like, you know, well, a trophy case.
George M. Johnson
My defense, I don't like wearing any. Like, I don't like wearing watches either. Yeah, I've tried every type. I don't know, I just. Something about like wearing stuff. Like I don't have to worry about that. I don't have to.
Olivia Carville
Yeah.
George M. Johnson
If it breaks or I lose it. I mean I. I can't keep a pair of sunglasses. Like I tell my. Please no one ever buy me sunglasses. Yeah, I just had one get the lenses kicked out the other day that I think was a Christmas gift.
Olivia Carville
And they were probably like 500. Huh. I lose mine. Yeah, I get one wear out of like I get one wear.
Lavar Arrington
Gotta get those liquor store lokes.
George M. Johnson
Yeah, dude, I buy them from Amazon now. They're like 10 bucks and I still lose those all the time. I have no idea. It's the only thing in my life like I lose on a consistent basis.
Olivia Carville
Yeah, it's very true. Well, hey, Rip to. To my koi's. I hope y'all hear me up there in koi heaven. And shouts out to the. The Rams for doing it at a first responders fire department. Unlike Jonas, I do believe that that is pretty cool to bring awareness to our. Our firefighters.
Lavar Arrington
I also want to point this out. Brady walking into Lavar's mansion, that's cold blooded storm.
Olivia Carville
Yeah, we smell that.
Lavar Arrington
We heard.
Israel Gutierrez
It smells like someone died.
Olivia Carville
Yeah, we heard.
George M. Johnson
One more time, Jonas. Where. Where are they having. Where The Rams having their draft party this year.
Lavar Arrington
The lafd.
George M. Johnson
Are they gonna be doing that, Lee?
Lavar Arrington
Yeah, the lafd.
Olivia Carville
Oh, gosh. Oh, God, you guys. You guys are clay. And you know what? People will blame this on me. They'd be like, oh, Lavar's. Lavar's got them playing the. Try to put the little one, the little wheezy guy. The fire fireman.
Lavar Arrington
Little tongue in cheek. Put you up on.
Olivia Carville
Oh my gosh.
George M. Johnson
Lavar, can you tell Jonas how disappointed you were in the musical picks that I had for me?
Olivia Carville
I was not disappointed what happened. I disappointed in the fact that my song did not remain an hour too.
George M. Johnson
I'm playing Fat Fire Tops, which is like one of the all time my one. I mean everyone loves that song. Lavar could care less. He was just like, you're doing this song.
Olivia Carville
He totally took over, you know, Q took over and, and put, put the show's songs on and, and that's, that's fine.
George M. Johnson
It was the players club I was trying to picture. Like, you know, when I see you out like on the street, we walk up to one another, you know.
Olivia Carville
Yeah. What up, though?
George M. Johnson
Wait.
Olivia Carville
It'S like really good to see you, you know, I think we do that. I'm gonna tell you why I think we do that. Because we be losing one another, man. Like we people don't realize that when we come up out of them trenches, like some of us don't, we don't last long. Like some of us get up out of here and that's like when I say it's good to see once, a lot of times it's cause one, you're in good health, you look to be in pretty decent health. Some of us be limping around and leaned over or leaned back or bow legged out and stuff, fingers all jacked up. But you're here and it's like, man, it's good to see you, bro. Like you good, man, it's good to like I say good to see we. Every single time I see a vet that a retired guy we all like, it's literally like four, four or five times you say, good, it's so good to see you, man. It's good to see you. But you won't get that Jonah. So you'll never have to worry about that. You don't have to worry about that, my guy. Yeah, sorry sir. Maybe in another life because you white dog, but my koi won't get it either.
Lavar Arrington
No, they won't.
Olivia Carville
They ain't around.
Lavar Arrington
Hopefully they didn't clog that toilet that they sent down.
Olivia Carville
No, they couldn't go down there.
Lavar Arrington
By the way. Still driving that rusty old ride or that trusty old ride. Keep it looking sharp with moo. From tents to faded paint. We've got you covered. Get a free estimate today. Oh, better get Mako. By the way, coming up next here, we are going to tell you how.

Sam Mullins
This draft report segment is presented by Miller Lite. All right, Fritzi, the draft is coming up in a couple of weeks. A lot of big news happening. And you know what? I know the quarterback is super important, but as of late, especially when you're trying to win championships, defensive linemen have been a big part of those championship wins. Am I right?
George M. Johnson
Heck yeah.
Sam Mullins
We're going to start right at the top. Abdul Carter, stud. He seems to be the biggest prospect going into the draft on the defensive side of the ball. Where do you see him going?
George M. Johnson
I could see him going as early as two. I know it's always been about quarterbacks in recent years, but I would not be shocked if he goes with the with the number two pick. I can't imagine him slipping much more than that. What uniform can you picture him wearing in the coming months?
Sam Mullins
You know what? I like him going to New York.
George M. Johnson
You do?
Sam Mullins
I do.
George M. Johnson
Because of the old days of Lawrence, Taylor and Banks and all those great defensive players.
Sam Mullins
Oh, absolutely.
George M. Johnson
Even Carson.
Sam Mullins
Even going back to Justin Tuck. Michael Strahan.
George M. Johnson
There you go.
Sam Mullins
OCU Minora. You have your franchise defensive lineman for the next 10 years, hopefully. And so I think Abdul Carter is the right move. But who knows? Another guy I'm thinking about is Kenneth Grant out of Michigan. I love him on the interior look. He could be in that Brandon Graham, Chris Jones, Aaron Donald, Jalen Carter. Look at the lineage of great D linemen that have made big impacts on championship teams.
George M. Johnson
He's ranked right there among the top guys on the on the list there. You got Derek Harmon at Oregon. You got WALTER Nolan, Ole Miss and T.J. sanders, S.C. but Kenneth Grant is right there.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, I like him. I like Darius Alexander. I saw some highlights of him. He's, yes, he's out of a small school, but those guys, almost like a Khalil Mack, guys that come out of nowhere, quote, unquote, smaller schools.
George M. Johnson
Is there a hesitation, you think with some of the GMs and front office staff, they're like, yeah, but he played a Toledo. You know, anybody can be great at a smaller school. What happens, you know, if you're, when you're getting to the pros or if he would have played in a bigger conference, maybe he wouldn't have looked as good.
Sam Mullins
I'm with you completely. Hopefully these guys come out and they tear it up and prove everybody wrong. Absolutely. Especially a guy like him who's going to have a chip on his shoulder regardless of where he's drafted.
George M. Johnson
Let's root for Darius Alexander.
Sam Mullins
I'm in.

Margie Murphy
In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare.
Olivia Carville
Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked.
Sam Mullins
Well, not me, but me with someone.
Olivia Carville
Else'S body parts on my body. Parts that looked exactly like my own.
Margie Murphy
I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography.
Lavar Arrington
This should be illegal, but what is this?
Margie Murphy

I'm Israel Gutierrez and I'm hosting a new podcast, Dub Dynasty, the story of how the Golden State warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade.
Lavar Arrington
The Golden State warriors once again are NBA champions.
Brady Quinn
From the building of the core that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport, I just.
George M. Johnson
Felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and.
Lavar Arrington
Let the players know that we were.
George M. Johnson
Here to try to help them take.
Lavar Arrington
The next step, not tear anything down.
Brady Quinn
Today, the warriors dynasty remains alive in large part because of a scrawny 6 foot 2 hooper who everyone seems to.
Olivia Carville
Love for what Steph has done for the game. He's certainly on that, like Mount Rushmore for guys that have changed it, come.
Brady Quinn
Revisit this magical warriors ride. This is Dove dynasty.

Johnson, a best selling author with the second most banned book in America. Now more than ever, we need to use our voices to fight back and that's what we are doing on Fighting Words. We're not gonna let anyone silence us.
Lavar Arrington
That's the reason why they're banning books like yours, George.
George M. Johnson
That's the reason why they're trying to stop the teaching of black history or queer history, any history that challenges the.
Lavar Arrington
Whitewashed norm or put us in a box.

Lavar Arrington
It's over. Under. All right, we got playing action in the NBA later tonight. Lead the lap. What do we got?
Olivia Carville
That's right.
Lavar Arrington
And you could go to DraftKings and.

Lavar Arrington
And that's for tonight at that.
George M. Johnson
Jonas.
Olivia Carville

Olivia Carville
Assists for Anthony Davis in the Mavs versus the Grizz.
George M. Johnson
How about this?
Olivia Carville
Number of grenade celebrations for John Morant tonight at a half.
Lavar Arrington
Oh, God.
George M. Johnson
Over. Eat that.
Olivia Carville
I'm gonna take the under. I think he likes to change weapons.
Lavar Arrington
Damn.
Olivia Carville
He might use a different weapon other than a grenade.
Lavar Arrington
Game time decision. Let me. You know, because I do have a chart kind of tracking this stuff, so give me a second. I'll take the overly.
Olivia Carville
I think it's even more likely if he's on the bench that he throws a grenade from the bench. Yeah.
Lavar Arrington
If he does a blow dart, he listens to this.
Olivia Carville
If he does a blow dart, I'm. I'm going to the rest of his games the rest of the way.
Lavar Arrington

The Dan Patrick Show: Hour 2 - Mentoring Young Quarterbacks
Release Date: April 18, 2025 | Host: iHeartPodcasts and Dan Patrick Podcast Network
In this episode of The Dan Patrick Show, the focus shifts to the critical topic of mentoring young quarterbacks within the NFL. Hosted by Dan Patrick and featuring guest analysts including Lavar Arrington, Brady Quinn, and Jonas Knox, the discussion delves deep into the Cleveland Browns' current quarterback situation, the role of seasoned players in developing newcomers, and the broader implications for the league.
Timestamp: [02:54 - 05:09]
The conversation begins with an analysis of the Cleveland Browns' quarterback dilemma. With speculation pointing towards Travis Hunter being selected at the number two pick, the team faces uncertainty regarding its long-term quarterback strategy.
Lavar Arrington highlights the complexities:
"The question then becomes what's the long term plan at quarterback? Well, listen, Andrew Barry, the GM there says it's a little too early to tell whether or not DeShaun Watson can play in 2025."
[Timestamp: 02:54]
Brady Quinn echoes concerns about DeShaun Watson's availability, suggesting that the Browns might be navigating uncharted waters with his potential absence.
Timestamp: [03:09 - 07:47]
A significant portion of the discussion revolves around Joe Flacco's return to the Browns and his influence on the development of young quarterbacks like Kenny Pickett.
Olivia Carville emphasizes the importance of patience in quarterback development:
"I do think it's important for young quarterbacks to be able to learn. You don't want to put a young quarterback in a football game before he's actually ready."
[04:15]
George M. Johnson adds depth by reflecting on Flacco's extensive experience:
"He was a guy who started as a rookie and continually got better and better. When you look at the course of his career, he had continually developed into the position to be someone the team could rely on, especially in clutch situations."
[06:00]
The hosts agree that Flacco's presence provides stability and mentorship, creating a conducive environment for young QBs to flourish.
Timestamp: [07:47 - 12:31]
The hosts discuss the evolving landscape of quarterback development in the NFL, contrasting it with past decades. The rapid pace of the modern game leaves little room for gradual growth, often pressuring teams to show immediate results from their young quarterbacks.
Olivia Carville notes:
"They don't get any time to really sit, watch, and learn unless you're part of an organization that tries to do it right. Most teams are hoping to find a Pro Bowl caliber quarterback right out of the gate."
[04:20]
George M. Johnson critiques the impatience prevalent among NFL teams:
"The NFL has had to adapt their offensive schemes to what these quarterbacks are accustomed to because they don't have the time to develop and no one has the patience anymore to see if they can develop into being that guy."
[10:00]
This segment underscores the tension between the need for immediate performance and the benefits of long-term mentorship and development.
Timestamp: [12:31 - 17:41]
The discussion draws parallels with other quarterbacks' journeys, highlighting successes like Alex Smith and the pitfalls faced by others such as Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold.
Lavar Arrington shares insights on organizational patience:
"Alex Smith took years to develop under multiple coaches, and the Rams understood the importance of giving him time. If they had pulled the rug out early, he would never have led Kansas City to success before Patrick Mahomes took over."
[12:31]
Olivia Carville expresses frustration over the Browns' perceived lack of patience:
"Many teams want answers now, but building a franchise quarterback is an investment that requires time and nurturing."
[16:00]
This comparison highlights the critical role that organizational culture and patience play in quarterback success.
Timestamp: [17:41 - 11:07]
Wrapping up the discussion, the hosts reaffirm the importance of mentorship, patience, and creating a supportive environment for young quarterbacks. Joe Flacco's role is seen as pivotal in guiding the next generation, ensuring that players like Kenny Pickett receive the necessary guidance to succeed both on and off the field.
Olivia Carville concludes:
"Cleveland played this particular situation the right way in terms of bringing in a quarterback who can handle the current environment. It's a move that adds stability and positive energy to the team."
[07:47]
George M. Johnson adds:
"Flacco's extensive experience and leadership offer invaluable insights for young quarterbacks navigating the pressures of the NFL."
[07:53]
The episode underscores that effective mentorship and strategic patience are essential for fostering the next generation of NFL quarterbacks, ultimately contributing to a team's long-term success.
