• The segment broadens to examine how losing a step in quickness can impact even all-world athletes.

---

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.

---

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

• Foxworth confesses that he no longer recognizes current touchdown celebrations in the NFL, a sign he’s “aged out” of pop culture as a fan.

• 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)

• Emphasis on storytelling and credibility in the way probabilistic information is presented to players.

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)

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.

[Dan Le Batard]

Welcome to the Big Sui, presented by DraftKings.

[Tony Reali]

Why are you listening to this show.

[Dan Le Batard]

The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBatard podcast?

[Dominique Foxworth]

I'm sorry.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.

[Tony Reali]

I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries that if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys.

[Dan Le Batard]

I've done it. And now here's the marching man to.

[Tony Reali]

Nowhere, Fat Face and the Habitual Liar.

[Kevin Blackistone]

This episode of the Dan Lebatard show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours.

[Tony Reali]

I need everybody to know here that if you love Ron McGill and you want to support the things that he is doing, he's got a big event at Zoo Miami. He's winding down his career at Zoo Miami. There's not going to be a lot of time left.

[Dan Le Batard]

There's enough going on this week.

[Rose]

I don't need that, too.

[Dan Le Batard]

Come on.

[Billy]

Is he okay?

[Dominique Foxworth]

Oh, my God. He knows. Knows.

[Tony Reali]

I'm not breaking news here. He's just in his 60s and he.

[Billy]

Well, I mean, live a long time.

[Tony Reali]

I mean, the government's in bad shape and government workers are having a hard time at the moment, and so Ron's okay, though.

[Billy]

Wait, so he's dying or he's getting fired?

[Tony Reali]

Well, this happens to me all the time when I say goodbye. This happened to me yesterday when I was saying goodbye to you. People thought that you were dying as well at the beginning of that. This happens to me every time I say anything like this. I'm not breaking news when I tell you that he's got a Halloween party and I don't know how many more of these he's going to be doing at Zoo Miami. It's Monster Masquerade. It's an adults only event, and he's allowed us to give our listeners a discount. Roy, give the people some of the details on this.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, this event is tomorrow. Please do not bring your kids. This is adults only, 21 and over. The code is all O N M25. You can get 15% off the ticket price, which is $150 each has open bars and. And you can eat from 20 restaurants. You can go to zoomiami.org monster and use code R O N MM25 for 15% discount. Is this like an upside down pineapple situation? What we got here?

[Kevin Blackistone]

Maybe we all agree that this is Derek Zoolander, right?

[Dominique Foxworth]

Yes.

[Kevin Blackistone]

Like, they just photoshopped a picture of Zoolander. A little bit. That's blue steel. He's. He's not an ambiturner. Right? So that's why he's turning his left right here.

[Tony Reali]

Dominique Foxworth is waiting for us in the zoom. I thought Billy was gonna speak there, but Billy, as you know, does what he wants to do.

[Billy]

No, we're talking to him mean.

[Rose]

He was.

[Billy]

You were just trying to figure. Because you again said after we were trying to clarify, you know, this might be the last one he does. And we're like, well, because he's. Because he's sick. He's dying.

[Dan Le Batard]

Government. Yeah.

[Billy]

What's happening? He's just old.

[Dominique Foxworth]

He's not that old.

[Tony Reali]

Look, this is a day for celebration of old people. I'm gonna give you guys some stats from Optistats. Thursday marked the first time ever that a 40 year old starting pitcher won a major league baseball postseason game while a 40 starting quarterback won on the NFL in the same day. This also from optistats. There's been one game in the history of the NFL where both quarterbacks completed 65% of their passes through for three touchdowns, had 100 plus passer rating, threw a 25 yard TD pass and erased a double digit deficit. That game occurred last night between two 40 year old quarterbacks. Ron is 25 years older than the oldest people in sports. Ron is toward the end of his life and career.

[Dominique Foxworth]

He's not playing quarterback for the Browns or the Bengals. Like you'll be fine.

[Billy]

He's talking about animals riding a golf cart zebra.

[Tony Reali]

Dominique Foxworth joins us now. The Dominique Foxworth show is something that is informative and fun. Can you explain to me what it is that we saw last night? Because I'm sitting here saying I thought Jalen Ramsey played pretty well and you're a former cornerback so it seems like an impossible position to play when you've got a guard, T. Higgins and him getting six catches and the last one makes you a huge failure in game where they acquired you to be the guy who wins that game. They acquired you to be the guy who does not get beaten by T. Higgins in that spot.

[Dan Le Batard]

First of all, how's Dan anybody? This man is a successful professional communicator but still struggles to communicate. And I love it. It humanizes like when Shaq shoots free throws. It's fantastic. But I mean as for Jalen Ramsey, he's incredible football player. What happened last night? I think Tony kind of mentioned it earlier about how it's, it's a challenging position. And I think to be honest, we talk about how, how losing a step could hurt you. Like, he isn't as quick as it used to be. So, like when he's in press coverage, he's gonna get beat a little bit more. And it's just those inches that change the, the way that things work, especially when there's an accurate quarterback. So he was on chase in Higgins at different times in the game and he made some plays from time to time. But it's a really tough position, especially when the guys that you're going up against are in their prime and you may not quite be there anymore. But yeah, what he means to that defense is more about flexibility and versatility than it is about like being a lockdown, shut down corner that they put on a guy. He disappears. But you also mentioned earlier that the running attack, that was really the difference for the Bengals. The I'm still is wearing a lot of single high stuff, trying to take away that Russian attack which isolates Jalen Ramsey. And Jalen Ramsey was playing off really far, quite a bit. And then when he got up and pressed, that's when that little bit of quickness that he might have lost it gets in the way and it becomes a problem.

[Tony Reali]

So did he or did he not play well? Is a cornerback even allowed to play well the way you do cornerback measurements in a game that looks like that?

[Dan Le Batard]

No, I mean, his assessment would be that he played poorly. He gave up a couple of touchdowns in the most pivotal play in the game. And just man to man, isolated press coverage, like, you can't say that you play well in that situation. They give you a really hard job. That's the thing about playing, I mean, frankly, any professional sports, but especially at that position. And the same thing could be said for playing quarterback. That's a really, really difficult job. It's hard to do. If you don't succeed, then you didn't do well. That's one of the great things about sports is you don't have a whole bunch of conjecture about what's why this happened or what's going on here. We might do it when we're analyzing the game, but when you get back to the locker room, guys are either saying, good job, high five, or saying, it ain't that big a deal, man, we'd be all right. It happens to everybody like that. That's your experience. Rarely do they do they mf you and try to fight you. You have to be really bad for that to happen. But most of the time it's most. It's like, hey, come on, man, it Gets everybody, Don't worry about it. We behind you. That type of stuff.

[Tony Reali]

Well, you say they get everybody, but I haven't seen a game except maybe Seattle, Tampa Bay this year. I haven't seen a football game played where that's what I'm watching. Wait, I thought the Steelers defense was good. What do you mean? All of a sudden the 40 year old quarterback who's not Browning can get there and have a 350 yard game where he's not throwing from behind. He'll just, he just decimate you all game long. And all of a sudden the Bengals look exactly like they did with Burrow. How's that possible?

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, the Steelers defense isn't very good. Like they haven't been all that good all season long. They have a lot of names and they have a long reputation. It's a lot like what happened with the Ravens. But I guess the Ravens have the excuse of a bunch of injuries. The Steelers defense has kind of been up and down this year. The games that they had like a high EPA were a result of turnovers. And those things as you know, can come and go depending on the situation. So they haven't been all that good this year. That still doesn't mean that this offense that's been without Joe Burrow all year should just kind of go in there and do what they want with him the way they did. But I think you can chalk it up to, to the Joe Flacco dead cat bounce. And also like Thursday nights. Thursday nights are always a little bit unpredictable because it's just a random, weird rest situation and preparation situation. But yeah, Joe Flacco wasn't doing anything amazing. He was just picking him apart and making the decisions to get rid of the ball quickly and finding the soft spots in the zone. But I don't know why he's still doing it, which at first it was like confusing to me, like, why is Joe still out there? But now it's kind of beautiful and romantic that I genuinely think that this guy, you know, people say I would do this for free and we all know they're lying. He's really one of these guys that I think would do it for free because I think he recognizes while taking a contract with the Browns, he recognizes that he's not going to win a Super bowl or impact his legacy in any way. He also made a ton of money. I'm not sure exactly what could motivate him to go out there and get hit by people other than he just really freaking loves it. I don't Love nothing as much as Joe Flacco loves to play football.

[Dominique Foxworth]

He really does. He's been asked in press availabilities about like, why are you still doing this? You have nothing to prove. And he's like, well, I'm presently at the level where I know I'm still an NFL quarterback and I only got one life to live. He's actually been. It's a love letter to football. Every time he's asked about the question, he is like, why wouldn't I still want to be out here? It's frigging amazing.

[Tony Reali]

Or.

[Kevin Blackistone]

Or he hates his family.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Or he hates Mike Tomlinson.

[Tony Reali]

Put it on the poll at Lebatard Show. Who does Joe Flacco hate more, Mike Tomlin or his own family?

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, I mean, don't his sons hate him? Isn't that a thing that his sons.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Opposing uniforms.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, man, that's a cauldron there. That's a tough household where your sons who are eating the food that you buy, going to the fancy schools that you probably pay for, wearing all their expensive clothes that you. You have given them, also probably pretty athletic and tall, thanks to your jeans, still, like, you know what? Jameer Gibbs, that's my guy.

[Tony Reali]

Yeah, buy me the. Buy me the Gibbs jersey with that money we make.

[Dan Le Batard]

Dad, that's awful. I didn't even think about that. It's like, actually, the money from winning Super Bowls is the money that you little mfers are taking to Dick's Sporting Goods and being like, hey, put me down for one of them.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Gibbs Flacco's got one assignment during his time in Cincinnati, and that's just win enough to be a bridge to possibly Joe Burrow coming back and them having a shot at the playoffs. After two games, it seems like he's going to be able to tread enough water to get them there, right?

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean, I hope so. Like, that feels like a lot more fun experience than the alternative. I think that the fact that he has good receivers, it's so hard to decipher what's happening in a football game. And I would have told you before Thursday night that Joe Flacco was going to have a rough outing and the Bengals were going get blown out. And I don't know exactly the reason why this is all worked out. I think there's a couple receivers that probably helps to understand it, but those guys couldn't work for Jake Browning, who's had some successful runs in that same situation with those guys. Like, some of this stuff is surprising. I've noticed this year that it feels like there are some, like, emotional impact of certain players in certain situations that's impossible for us to measure. Measure. As I've gone through, like, my evolution of an analyst from going from, like, football guy who's like a hand in the dirt. Everything is. Can be explained by football, to, like, reading more about analytics and understanding that to feeling like I can figure things out to these numbers, to now back around on that cycle to, like, football guy where it's like, man, get these damn, Bob's right and hit somebody. Holla at Jackson. Dark and Cam Scatter. Boo. All of a sudden, we beating the defender super bowl champs.

[Dominique Foxworth]

It's about having guys, right? And it feels like Flacco's playing a bit of Madden right now. He's like, all right, I'm going to throw it to Jamar Chase 23 times and let's see if you can stop him.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right?

[Billy]

Like, it's.

[Dominique Foxworth]

It's easy to play quarterback when you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Have a guy that's that good, you.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Just throw the ball.

[Tony Reali]

It wasn't easy for Browning. Like, it made it made it easier for Browning. But Browning can throw you three interceptions. So can Flacco, by the way, but he's not going to do it against the jets next week. They're going to be 4 and 4 Dominique. And what we're like, if Flacco was enjoying life as football player before, he's enjoying it more when he's got the old age and he's counting the minutes because he's like, I was with the Browns. I know how hard this can be when I don't have players. Good God, wait a minute. There's a team where I can throw to those two guys. Both my wide receivers are super expensive. Okay, I'll go there and punctuate my career there and see if I can just get it to.500 for Joe Burrow. And then all of a sudden, in the playoffs, everyone's fearing the Bengals again.

[Dan Le Batard]

A lot of pressure on Joe Burrow, though, because I think that it wasn't a foregone conclusion. We were kind of saying, like, if. If we get there, then maybe Joe Burrow can be back. Like, I'm not sure. Can you imagine a scenario where Joe Burrow comes back and plays poorly and the BE are like, hey, man, bring back Flacco. His toes not quite healed all the way. We need to bring back Flacco.

[Tony Reali]

[Billy]

Guys'S against the spread. You're right, you're right, you're right.

[Tony Reali]

I don't have it against the spread because I wasn't prepared for this segment.

[Billy]

You need an Ian in your life.

[Tony Reali]

You have actively played defense against me today in a way that has rarely been this undercutting.

[Dan Le Batard]

Stugats.

[Billy]

Defense wins championships, baby.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's show business. This is the Dan lebatar show with the stugats.

[Kevin Blackistone]

Dominique, you mentioned learning more about analytics in your current role as an analyst. When you were a player, did they ever any of the prep, was it ever analytically driven and if so, was it presented as such or did they just tell you we need this to happen and there was analytics behind the reasoning but you guys never saw it.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. You know as well as anybody that there's always been analytics. It's funny because it's like a new word where like I make fun of people because they're like I did some research. Like how many Googles qualifies as research. You did one Google and read one article and you're presenting this at re as research. I think the same thing is true of analytics. Like I think they're more sophisticated now, but we were always using analytics. We just called them tendencies. It's like when this guy lines up here, this is the pro the likelihood that he's going to do this when this team is on this position of the field. So we always used it and it made you feel confident and comfortable in the things that you are willing to do. I think that's one of the most important things and especially at the position of cornerback, you have to take chances. The quarterbacks are too good, the receivers are too good. Like you should never win a one on one matchup based on like physicality and the way the rules are set up. But if you take chances and you gamble and those chances are calculated, things will work out for you. I think that's all analytics are and having confidence in the people that are presenting it. I think you make a good point about how it presented to you. If you tell me the probability, that's one thing. But if you tell me a story about this probability and understand that when this is going to happen and also like you have credibility, that's the thing that I think hangs over what's happening with the Eagles is like, I don't feel like there's like a leader in that organization right now on the offensive side of the ball that everyone can look to. Like they had Kellen Moore last year. I was like, hey, I've done it before. I've been here for a long time. You can trust that I'll fix this because, you know, they had a rough start last year and they fixed it.

[Tony Reali]

Let me stop him for a second because we've gone too long without celebrating. Billy. And some old time listeners of this show are really going to appreciate this. Time now for Guillermo's epic sound of the day.

[Dan Le Batard]

Time now for Guillermo's epic sound of the day. It's going to be epic.

[Billy]

Hey, guys.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hey, Billy. Hello, Billy.

[Billy]

It's Billy. Dominique, how's it going?

[Dan Le Batard]

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, I did? Whoa. I didn't see it.

[Billy]

Thank you, Tony Getz. I wasn't even here. What are you talking about?

[Kevin Blackistone]

Also, he's talking about Gilligan.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Anywho, not the Skipper.

[Billy]

[Tony Reali]

Yes. Looks great.

[Dan Le Batard]

No.

[Billy]

You know who we're talking about?

[Tony Reali]

Yes.

[Billy]

Okay, so Demi Lovato, who? You know, years ago, we introduced the world to a clip such as this one. In fact, this exact clip, this is one of my favorite epic sounds of day ever before she became friend of the Demi Lovat bros. Where we went and we saw her at the Daytona 500, if you remember correctly. You remember that? No. You don't remember when we met?

[Dominique Foxworth]

Coops's dance moves.

[Billy]

Yes.

[Tony Reali]

Dance moves.

[Billy]

That's the wrong picture, but that's fine. Don't worry. Never changed. There we go. Only that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Only coug still stands.

[Billy]

Yeah, well, not. Not the day. Anywho, Demi Lovato was, you know, doing some press 10 years ago, and when she was doing said press 10 years ago, she was asked her favorite dish.

[Dan Le Batard]

Your favorite dish? My favorite dish. I like mugs because they're very comfortable.

[Dominique Foxworth]

In your hand and they hold the.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hot things that you don't have to touch. So, you know, coffee or hot tea.

[Kevin Blackistone]

More of a bowl guy myself.

[Tony Reali]

That is Guillermo's epic sound of the day. I'm glad that we brought Guillermo's epic sound of the day. I'm glad it's going to be epic.

[Billy]

You guys have a favorite dish.

[Tony Reali]

I'm glad you favorite dishes.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean, it's actually a pretty good answer. I get why it's up, but I mean, like, it's kind of a pretty good answer because it does have some use. Can I just say, I don't think.

[Tony Reali]

A mug is a dish.

[Kevin Blackistone]

There, I said it.

[Tony Reali]

Put it on the poll at Levitage show. I think it's a terrible answer. Is a mug. Is a mug a dish? I'd go with the saucer. My favorite dish.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's a ramekin is the sauce. I call it ramekin. My dad. My dad taught me that word.

[Billy]

Look, don't.

[Dan Le Batard]

Don't question me on this.

[Billy]

Ramekins. We put clothes on in a window.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, ramekins are little tiny cups you put sauces in.

[Billy]

Yep.

[Kevin Blackistone]

Ramekin sounds tawdry.

[Tony Reali]

Put it on the poll. Do you know what a ramekin is?

[Dan Le Batard]

I want to get back and barely know him.

[Tony Reali]

I want to get to the conversation or can. Dominique was starting when he said that Joe Flacco's kids are disrespectful. All kids are disrespectful. Aren't they all kids?

[Dan Le Batard]

They absolutely are. And they get so disrespectful that eventually they have to leave. We're going to miss you, Billy. We love you so much. Right? The weirdness in this show is a lot generated by Billy, and the show is going to get a lot less weird, which is kind of sad. But congratulations, and we're all happy for you. Hopefully my kids can grow up to be. Oh, God. My kids can grow up to be as awesome and entertaining and talented and funny as you, but right now, they just disrespect the shit out of me on a regular basis, and it drives me nuts. And my wife tries to tell me that they don't mean it as disrespect, but if I tell you to put your laundry away, I take the basket from the laundry room and put it in your room in a place that you have to walk by. If you walk by it. That is disrespect. My wife's like, no, they're just not thinking about it like that. They don't take things as seriously as you do. But I throw to the room. Does that not qualify as disrespect? If I put it there? I know that you've walked by it four times. I heard you. It's two days now. It's still sitting there untouched. That's disrespect. I'm gonna get mad, that's all.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Imagine if you step over, right? Like supreme disrespect in the NFL. You get a flag for stepping over somebody. AI stepping over Ty Lou.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's disrespectful, Tony. You think I ain't do that? You think I ain't blocked the door with the, with.

[Tony Reali]

With the laundry basket?

[Dominique Foxworth]

That's what I'm saying. So they're stay. They're stepping over.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, and by doing that, are they, Dan? Are they or are they not saying, hey, dad, f you?

[Tony Reali]

Well, they're not only just doing that, Dominique. I'm thinking to myself, as you say this, There isn't anywhere else in your life with any person you've encountered that you've ever abided this kind of disrespect.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean, that's the thing about love, is love and fear. But I think I've probably abided a little bit more disrespect for people that had some more power. Like, I've been MF'd by plenty of coaches where it's like, oh, man. And also like, yeah, sometimes me and Ray Lewis disagree and I'm like, you right, Ray?

[Kevin Blackistone]

Okay, I'll be quiet. But when he walks away.

[Tony Reali]

No, but that's an interesting one though. You. But what's funny about what you're articulating is the only time that you abide disrespect is when someone is actually more powerful than you. They're disrespecting you because they don't think you're powerful at all.

[Dan Le Batard]

Exactly. I know they don't because I'm not. That's the misconception about everything. And I think, Dan, you might be figuring this out too. It's like, man, when I get to be. When you're a kid, you're like, man, when I get to be a parent, adult, I'm have so much power and control, do whatever I want. Man, when I get to run my own company, Imma have so much power, control, do whatever I want. That's not how it works. Kids, let me warn you, don't get your hopes up. It don't get much better than 17. 17 is awesome. Nothing gets better to be at 17, especially if you're good at football. Oh, it's incredible. A 17 year old that can ball. Oh, it's life. Be a 42 year old. Who's Marri? Married with three kids, not nearly as much fun.

[Kevin Blackistone]

Dominique's kids are like, he'll be fine. We'll just draw another picture where his hairline is real strong.

[Dan Le Batard]

I used to laugh with my brother about how our mom would apologize in the off chance that she did something that we were upset about, rather than being like, look, I'm sorry. She'd just be like, what's that video game you've been talking about? Where those shoes that you've really been liking, and that she would pick it up for us. And that was her version of apology. I feel the same way about these pictures. It's like, rather than be like, I'm sorry for disrespecting you, they're like, hey, you got a hairline like Jalen Rose, which clearly not true.

[Tony Reali]

Is there anything more disrespectful than your kid, that your kids do, than what they just did to you? Like, what is the greatest of the indignities you suffered before you realized, wait a minute, this is a disrespect. I'm abiding that I see I shouldn't be. These kids need to be better kids because I'm their dad.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's a great communicator. They are normally fantastically behaved children, but they do, like, because we are, like, more gentle parents than there was in the past. Like, obviously, I don't advocate any type of violence, but it is a much more direct way of communicating. And you turn up the volume a little bit, which is one thing I think I'm good at, is I don't blow up very often. So when somebody talk back, it's mostly like, if my son talks back to his mother, I lose it then. And of course, we don't get the physical violence, but it's a lot of loud and that stuff stops. So, like, the most disrespectful thing they do are these passive things where it's like, clean up after yourself. Don't take bowls out of the kitchen if you're not going to take them back into the kitchen. Those sorts of things that my. My life is riddled with those things. And they irk me because they're so small that I see, like, seem like the crazy person for losing it. Like, oh, yeah, it's just a. This is a bowl in the living room. Like, it's not the end of the world. He didn't stab anybody. But I feel so personally disrespect, you guys make me feel bad. Like, is there anything like this in any of Your lives, that you're like, man, I know it's small, but I know that you thought about me when you looked at that God goddamn bowl and walk past it for the third time.

[Kevin Blackistone]

Dominique, what you're describing is microaggressions. That's the term, microaggressions. That's what children are great at. My kids, I told the story. I think it was a week ago or so. I was telling them about Milli Vanilli and like, oh, this is the biggest thing. And they had. They won these Grammys and these songs were hits. And then turned out they were lip syncing. And so my kids were like, oh, word. And so then we put on, like, a little documentary about it. And I showed them the videos and they watched, and they looked at me and said, you mean to tell me you think they were actually singing? And I know what they're trying to say. They're trying to say, you dumbass, you believe this? You bought this. They look at these guys. They're clearly lip syncing. But deep in my heart, I was like, no, but you don't understand. We all believed. We all thought it was real.

[Dan Le Batard]

There's no. I mean, there's the. When you're able to look back at something because they're gonna have the same experience. And we are all having that experience now, too, where you're like, man, how could people disenfranchise other people's ability to vote? That's ridiculous. Back in the 50s. And then you look around like, oh, that could happen here. That's the exact same thing. Milli Vanilli, girl, you know it's true. It's the exact same thing you know is true.

[Billy]

[Dominique Foxworth]

Hey, audience. I got a special treat for you because I want to talk to you about Miller Lite. But I want to talk to you about Miller Lite with my good friend Rose. Hey, Rose.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hi, everybody.

[Dominique Foxworth]

When we hang out, and we hang out often, we're friends. I consider us friends.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, me too.

[Dominique Foxworth]

We're often toasting the good times. And what am I toasting with?

[Tony Reali]

With Miller Lite.

[Dominique Foxworth]

That's right. Miller Lite. Whether you're hanging out with your dear friend Rose or at game day, it just hits different when you got a Miller Lite in your hand. From jaw dropping touchdowns to fantasy heartbreaks, it's a beer that has been there for every moment. 50 years of great taste, simple ingredients, and that iconic golden color that you can spot across the room. And it's just not the color of the beer, which is brilliant. That beautiful white can. How beautiful is that? Is that you doing the sound of a can opening? Is that your favorite sound?

[Dan Le Batard]

No, it is a horsey.

[Dominique Foxworth]

A horsey. All right, we'll stop doing that. And here's a kicker. Miller Lite is just 96 calories, 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. The original light beer since 1978.

[Dan Le Batard]

5.

[Dominique Foxworth]

That's right. And still hitting different five decades later. You're so good at this, Rose.

[Dan Le Batard]

I know.

[Dominique Foxworth]

So whatever your game day looks like, remember, Miller time is always a good time. Look at us. We're a great tag team. High five again. Can you do that? That beer sound one more time? And the horse sound one more time. I regret asking you about that one, but the Miller light sound is good. Miller Lite, great taste, 96 calories. Go to millerlight.com Shane to find delivery options near you. Or you can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer. It's Miller time. Celebrate. Responsive Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wiscon. 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounce ounces. No, it says.

[Billy]

Don LeBatard I thought that we were past the Lightning. I thought that we were better than the Lightning. And we didn't give the Lightning any mind. This is loser mentality.

[Dominique Foxworth]

No, no. Last year's shirt was World War Three.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Our group chat has a good feeling about this.

[Billy]

The pants, the Lightning, the Lightning aren't shit to me. I'm just gonna come right out and tell you right now. We have surpassed the Lightning. They're not a formidable foe. They're a joke.

[Dan Le Batard]

Stugats.

[Billy]

I don't take them seriously at all. Strike me by Lightning. I don't care. Nothing's gonna happen to me. Lightning are soft. I'm not giving them any mind. I'm not paying attention to them. This series. On to the next round.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the st.

[Dominique Foxworth]

While we've been talking about communication, what do you think Dan was trying to say here, Dominique?

[Tony Reali]

I think Billy goes. I think Billy and Mike have both had zoo experiences that have grown their relationship with Ron McGill. Do I have this wrong?

[Dan Le Batard]

I think that's really messed up that Dan would out people on air. Like, gosh, they got a little secret thing going on. Dan, let him live, baby.

[Dominique Foxworth]

That's a totally abnormal way to ask somebody if they've ever been to the zoo.

[Kevin Blackistone]

Right?

[Dan Le Batard]

He said something earlier in the show today that was really weird, too. Like in the first segment, I just like, man, it feels like there's like a thousand things probably going on in his Mind at one time. Like, when I'm listening to him, I can hear the wheels turning. Whereas there was a time when Dan. All the wheels are turning, and it is like, you couldn't tell it. Just spitting out all this great stuff. And now, like, the great stuff doesn't stop, but occasionally it comes out with another word of a different thought.

[Dominique Foxworth]

And it usually starts with, tell me if I have this wrong.

[Kevin Blackistone]

Dominique, you got Dan's words getting into a club, which is his mouth, and they're all going there. All right, how many got with all these guys? And then there's one word that kind of sneaks in in the back, like, I'm with them, too.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is exactly what happens again. Like, we should listen to the question again and figure out or the response again and figure out which one of these club. Which one of these words snuck in with the group baddies. Like, it's just a fat dude just squeezing, like, oh, I'm with them. He never used to get in before.

[Tony Reali]

I think Billy goes. I think Billy and Mike have both had zoo experiences that have grown their relationship with Ron McGill. Do I have this wrong?

[Kevin Blackistone]

I think they just bum rushed the door.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Zoo experiences.

[Kevin Blackistone]

None of y' all supposed to be.

[Dominique Foxworth]

It's like seven Chris pens just bum rushing.

[Billy]

I think you're doing great, sweetie.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's the two. It's growing in experiences. Those are the two words that's like, nah, y'.

[Tony Reali]

All.

[Dan Le Batard]

You too old to be in this club. Get out of here.

[Tony Reali]

All I was trying to say is that he gave your kids a VIP tour they'll never forget.

[Dan Le Batard]

Then say, that sounds much better.

[Tony Reali]

I wanted them to say it. And I've gotten old. This is what happens.

[Billy]

I haven't done that.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Zoological experience.

[Billy]

I think my window closed on that garage. Never gonna talk to me again.

[Rose]

Let's be real.

[Dan Le Batard]

Have you ever tried to talk while reading at the same time? It's like you're reading something and you're trying to hold a conversation with someone else. Like, I feel like that's also an explanation that's going on is like, sometimes these things bleed into the same conversation.

[Kevin Blackistone]

Dominique, I got a question. I was on a flight, and the guy next to me was watching Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime. The problem was he was watching last week's game. Do I have an obligation to let the guy know?

[Dan Le Batard]

You have to let him know. I would love to let him know. No.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Was it Dan?

[Billy]

Was he enjoying it?

[Kevin Blackistone]

He seemed to be really into it.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Yes.

[Kevin Blackistone]

Giants.

[Billy]

I mean, I watched a video a couple weeks ago where like, this family convinced that their dad that they were watching the Dodgers playoff game because he had, like, bad vision, took off his glasses, whatever, and they were really just playing a video game on this screen. And he's like, how'd you get the game? How'd you get the game? Ah, we found it, dad. Don't you worry. And they kept it going for, like, over an hour.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Be great if Dan just started today's show with Cam Scout, became a star.

[Tony Reali]

I told you, this happened in an Amazon prime game, the Rams game the other day.

[Dominique Foxworth]

These games are starting late.

[Tony Reali]

They're still outside the stadium with Fitzpatrick and Whitworth playing with the tailgate crowd. And I'm looking at my watch.

[Dominique Foxworth]

I'm like, daylight.

[Tony Reali]

It's 8:45. How is it that they're still doing this? Just because I hit play, thought it was going to take me to life. And it went back to the start.

[Kevin Blackistone]

Of the broadcast playing in Hawaii.

[Dan Le Batard]

I got. I got a confession to make. It's happened to me before. I've figured it out now. But if you have, like, YouTube TV, you watch on one TV and then you turn it off, it stops whatever you're watching, where you were watching it. And then if you go turn it back on somewhere else, it picks it up there. And I've been in text, group text talking to people about a game that's been over for an hour because I'm still behind. It happened to me a couple times now. I double check because I can just press it and then it's like, yeah, start. It doesn't say, like, resume, or it says resume, but it doesn't say, like, go to live. And you have to be conscious of that or you'll look like an idiot. But I'm also old. I know I'm old because of that. And I don't recognize these player celebrations anymore. That was the thing that I used to, like, see a celebration and be like, I get that right away. And like, the commentators are confused by it. Now I know I'm old, almost day and age.

[Tony Reali]

Oh, that's a good one. Which one got you? Which one got you recently where you don't know the celebrations? Because that is a good landmark on how it is that people fall out of the pop culture demo. You're watching athletes celebrate something. Yeah. And you don't recognize what it is.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's a very. I mean, most of them now seem like they're tick tock dances.

[Tony Reali]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

I get on TikTok. They're all tick tock dances. Yeah. This, this, this, like, booty shaking song where all the guys, which you will be surprised by. It's a woman's song. Forgot what it's called. Oh, Take Me through There, I think is what it's called. Show us. Why don't you show us? Yeah, well, I can't do the booty shaking portion. They don't really do that. But then they do, like this thing while they're dancing. And I was like, why is everybody doing that? And of course, I went to TikTok. I was like, oh, yeah. And so I could go pretend like I know why they're doing that.

[Tony Reali]

And so. Which one got you, though? Is there one in particular that got you?

[Dan Le Batard]

That's crazy. It's. It's all them. They were all doing it throughout college. And, like, I know that this happened recently because they, like, recently banned the wiping of the nose celebration. And I was in on that. Like, they were getting away with it for many years. And I was like, I know what you're doing there. Nobody else knows. And then all of a sudden this year, people are doing tick tock dances that I've never seen before. So I know that I'm on a path to eventually letting a lot of people in the club that shouldn't be in a club and sounding like I'm not making sense that one. You know what it means? Yeah, you can't. You can't be doing that anymore. They banned it. Which is funny because, I mean, it's innocent enough. It's not cutting the throat.

[Tony Reali]

You have said on the Dominique Foxworth show that the Chiefs are all the way back and that the league needs an alert. The teams that, you know are positive are good. Name them. Them.

[Dan Le Batard]

None. I mean, I think they're. They're no teams that are as good as the Eagles were last year. 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, like, gotten a little bit better and some of the great teams have gotten a little bit worse. But I. I think the thing that's most attractive, which I know you're. You pay attention to Dan about the Chiefs is their fun again. And the defense. I think they do this cool thing that Steve Spagnola does where he has a blitz or some sort of coverage that he knows gonna work, and he does not call it. He, like, saves it, puts it in his pocket for a certain time, which gives me faith in the defense that when they need a play, they're going to be able to get that play, but they're not going to need that play as much as they used to because they're going to be blowing people out because the offense, if anything, is back, especially when and if they get their rookie tackle back, Simon, Josh Simmons, I think they're going to be like pretty proficient at scoring points, which of course is the point of the game. But I don't know. No one's really like stepped out there. I think we'll see about the Colts. They're going to continue to get tested. I think they're probably one of those teams that we have some baggage, so we're not going to be quick to anoint them. But if you watch them play, you'll see. I think they actually are really good. And Danny Dimes is. Oh, excuse me, me, Indiana Jones. Right. New nickname, Dominique.

[Dominique Foxworth]

It feels like the Colts play like really good defense. Their running game is really strong with Jonathan Taylor and if Danny Dimes can continue to do what he's doing now, they could be probably one of the best teams in the afc.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, their defense I think is, is like tricky, which is they, they're good at tricking people and confusing people. I'll see, we'll see how good they are when that no longer works. But I think the fact that their offense is so good, it makes it so much easier. Like we've changed the rules in this game.

[Kevin Blackistone]

Game.

[Dan Le Batard]

If you remember back when we were all younger, like defense was it like defense and running the ball. Now it feels like the most important thing you can have is not a great defense. It's an offense that can't be stopped. And Daniel Jones is not just being like a game manager. Some of the plays that he's making and the throws that he's making are top level, like Matt Stafford esque throws on occasion. It's not as consistent as Matt Stafford does it, but he's showing that he has that ability. The next question is like, like high pressure situations. And I've always had a hard time with that as an assessment, like guys who choke and stuff because it just doesn't feel like. Doesn't feel concrete enough for me to grab onto. But you can kind of find some statistics that suggest that some people are worse in those situations. I just have a real hard time because I, I've been made to. Or other people been made to look so stupid when they're like, this guy can't win the big one, then eventually he wins the big one. Like what? I just don't get it. So that's the hard part. And I know we saw it with Sam Darnold last year, but Sam darn know he's better this year than he was last year. So I. I suspect that him and the Seahawks, another team that I really like, that might be my favorite team right now, especially if they get healthy in the secondary with Leonard Williams up front like that team. It's going to be incredible with Darnold and jsn the receiver core. And yeah, that. That team, I think, might surprise some people. What are you laughing, Turning into Dane?

[Tony Reali]

Jsn, huh?

[Kevin Blackistone]

Yeah.

[Tony Reali]

Jsn.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Cheat code.

[Kevin Blackistone]

That's the announcer.

[Tony Reali]

Jsn.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, Jackson, Smith and Jigba.

[Kevin Blackistone]

Yeah. Because I said that last name, man. It's tricky.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, Jigba, right. I didn't get it wrong. No, not you, not you. I'm just saying the announcer, he was.

[Tony Reali]

Laughing because you chose to go with the initials instead of the name because the name has some danger in it. But you said Smith and Jigba is the best receiver in the league. You've already pronounced him that. I don't think I haven't heard a lot of other people saying that, even though he's got the most explosive plays in the league.

[Dan Le Batard]

What's most interesting to me about any of this is that I want to know who. Who's watching my show and telling you what I said, because there's no chance that you are like, I. I don't. I want to know who's out here watching it and telling you my takes because I might want to come on here with a brand new take.

[Kevin Blackistone]

Dominique, let me tell you right now, he doesn't watch cinephobes, so he's never done any cinephobe references. So I'm guessing he actually watches your show.

[Dan Le Batard]

Nah, he don't. You know, he got somebody. Somebody's doing the work. Dad. All right, come clean, Dan, man. Who's watching it and telling you?

[Tony Reali]

Not true. I'm listening to the things you say.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, that's not tricky. Tricky with your language right there. Are you listening to the things I say? Are you listening to my show?

[Tony Reali]

There was just a graphic up on ESPN when it was.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Was it what, the Fox?

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Tony Reali]

What the Fox. There was just a graphic. Dominique says Smith and Jake was the best receiver in the league. That's pretty good.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's true.

[Tony Reali]

I could. I could fool Dominique into thinking I care.

[Kevin Blackistone]

Retribution is the movie, by the way, this week on set of folks.

[Dan Le Batard]

That is impressive, though, like, as we make it funny for being old, the Ability to, like, retain short term things like that's. You're not that old yet.

[Kevin Blackistone]

Thank you.

[Tony Reali]

That I don't have Alzheimer's. A very impressive bar, that Kevin. How is Dan? Yeah, it's always.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, you gotta suck your teeth first. I get that question every now and then. Dude's like, hey, how are you doing?

[Tony Reali]

We've got things good in Miami. Fewer than 90 seconds left. I saw a great clip the other day that I want you to tell me how common it is. Hollywood Brown scored on a touchdown. They played the wired for sound. Hollywood Brown comes up to the line if scrimmage. Clearly has no idea what the play is. Turns to juju Smith Schuster and say, what do I have to do here? And he says, you got the shallow route and then scores a touchdown. Had no idea what the play was. How common is that?

[Dan Le Batard]

That I think it's probably not that common, but more common than you think, which is probably a pretty shitty answer. But every team has at least one guy who never knows what's going on and another guy who knows everybody's job on both sides of the ball. There's normally one or two guys that you know if this is. And it's normally with game plan specific stuff where it's like, all right, in cover four, when we see this against this team in this situation, we're going to play this route combination. This way, there's always somebody who is like. And if you have been around long enough, you know, tell them before they ask. You got to tell them before they ask, like, hey, we're going to pause this where you get to number two to the flat. You got to drive number one. Those are the things. And I mean, in their defense, some of this stuff is like, unnecessarily like, Byzantine and complicated.

[Tony Reali]

It was pretty great, though, because the next clip I saw Hollywood Brown scores the touchdown. He's running around the sideline talking about how God did that. And then juju comes over and says, you know, I knew the play, right? I'm the one. Like, you do remember that you didn't know the play before you came to the touchdown.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's very Byzantine.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Is that what he's.

[Tony Reali]

That's what he said. The empire.

[Kevin Blackistone]

You turned it into, Dan.

[Dan Le Batard]

It just means, like, unnecessarily complicated.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Like, so that word was Byzantine.

[Kevin Blackistone]

Yeah, exactly.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. Like, Rube Goldberg would be like a Byzantine, like, contraption. Am I gone there anymore? Thank you for this podcast experience, Billy. I love you. You're the best. Okay, bye.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Bye. Hey, audience, I got a special treat for you because I want to talk to you about Miller Lite. But I want to talk to you about Miller Lite with my good friend Rose. Hey, Rose.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hi everybody.

[Dominique Foxworth]

When we hang out and we hang out often, we're friends. I consider us friends.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, me too.

[Dominique Foxworth]

We're often toasting the good times. And what am I toasting with?

[Dan Le Batard]

With Miller Lite.

[Dominique Foxworth]

That's right. Miller Lite. Whether you're hanging out with your dear friend Rose or at game day, it just hits different when you got a Miller Lite in your hand. From jaw dropping touchdowns to fantasy heartbreaks, it's. It's a beer that has been there for every moment. 50 years of great taste, simple ingredients and that iconic golden color that you can spot across the room. And it's just not the color of the beer, which is brilliant. That beautiful white can. How beautiful is that? Is that you doing the sound of a can opening? Is that your favorite sound?

[Dan Le Batard]

No, it is a horsey.

[Dominique Foxworth]

A horsey. Alright, we'll stop doing that. And here's a kicker. Miller light is just 96 calories, 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. The original light beer since 1975. That's right. And still hitting different five decades later. You're so good at this, Rose.

[Rose]

I know.

[Dominique Foxworth]

So whatever your game day looks like, remember Miller time is always a good time. Look at us. We're a great tag team. High five again. Can you do that? That beer sound one more time? And the horse sound one more time. I regret asking you about that one, but the Miller Light sound is good. Miller Lite, great taste. 96 calories. Go to millerlight.com shan to find delivery options near you. Or you can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell brand beer. It's Miller time. Celebrate. Responsive Miller Brewing Co. Milwaukee, Wiscon. 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounce ounces. No, it says.
