• Group riffs on Ron’s age, with jokes about mortality, firing, and celebrating the wisdom of “old people.”
• Segue into sports stats: trivia about aging athletes, particularly 40-year-old starting pitcher and quarterback both winning on the same day—a historic sports moment.

4. The Disrespect of Children / Parenting Woes (21:00–26:30)

• The conversation turns from sports to parenthood and generational “disrespect.”
• Foxworth vents about passive micro-disrespect, like kids stepping over laundry baskets; panelists commiserate.
• Discussion on how, paradoxically, kids treat parents with less “power” less respectfully than authority figures elsewhere.

“They get so disrespectful that eventually they have to leave... right now, they just disrespect the shit out of me on a regular basis and it drives me nuts.” —Domonique Foxworth (20:57)

5. Communication & Dan’s “Processing” (32:24–33:54)

• The crew notices Dan Le Batard’s sometimes-roundabout communication, with Foxworth comparing Dan’s thoughts to words queuing outside a club—some shouldn’t get in but sneak through.

Notable Exchange:

"He said something earlier in the show today that was really weird, too... when I’m listening to him, I can hear the wheels turning." —Domonique Foxworth (32:53)
“It’s the two. It’s growing in experiences. Those are the two words. Nah, you too old to be in this club, get outta here.” —Dan Le Batard (34:11)

6. Watching Sports While Old / Technology Mishaps & Celebrations (36:08–37:56)

• Praise for the Colts’ defense, Jonathan Taylor’s run game, and moderately for Daniel Jones’ high-level quarterback play.

Notable Quotes:

“There are no teams, including the Chiefs, that are as good as the Chiefs were at their peak. The whole league feels like some of the bad teams have gotten a little bit better and some of the great teams have gotten a little bit worse.” —Dan Le Batard (38:48)

8. Analytics in Football: The Shift from “Tendencies” (15:37–17:24)

Notable Quote:

“We were always using analytics, we just called them tendencies... if you take chances and those chances are calculated, things will work out for you. I think that’s all analytics are.” —Domonique Foxworth (15:55)

Memorable Moments & Lighter Segments

Tone & Language

The episode maintains the classic Dan Le Batard Show style: quick-witted, digressive, and openly self-deprecating. Banter is dense, overlapping, and warm; the “sports talk” often pivots toward life wisdom and personal failings, particularly regarding fatherhood, aging, and communication failures.

Episode Takeaway

This Big Suey is classic Le Batard: a snapshot of aging, fandom, and friendship in the world of sports and beyond—delivered with both biting wit and genuine affection. Whether parsing “analytics” or the passive-aggressions of parenthood, every topic is fair game, and every conclusion comes with a wink.
