Now is a good time to remember
where tequila's story
truly began.
In 1795, Quervo invented tequila.
Quervo.
What are you doing here?
Quervo.
Anytime someone says Quervo,
I show up.
Well, I do know that to be true,
but even during an ad reads, like...
Quervo.
I think he could lay.
out, especially for one of our great partners.
Sweet, delicious quervo.
Since then, quervo has stayed true to its roots.
The same family, the same land, the same passion.
Quervo.
So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.
Quervo.
Quirvo.
The tequila.
That invented tequila.
Broximo.com, please drink responsibly.
Quervo.
Mike, you know I have one rule to live by, right?
Don't place parlays on multiple long shots.
Don't say a game is one when it hasn't hit, triple zero.
Always drink your Yeagermeister ice ice.
cold. That's the rule. Everything else is
merely a suggestion. Everything else?
Everything else. Wearing clean
underwear every day? Well, that's just
a personal decision. Brushing your teeth?
Obviously smart, but not a rule.
Never pee-pee on an electric
fence. Okay, maybe there are two rules.
But the one that is 100% that I
insist on completely, Yeagermeister
must be drank ice cold. Or don't drink
it at all. Damn, that's cold.
Exactly. You're finally starting to get it.
Drink responsibly.
Yeagermeister liqueur, 35% alcohol by
volume imported by Mass Yeager Meister U.S. White Plains, New York.
Welcome to the big suey, presented by Draft Kings.
Why are you listening to this show?
The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast.
I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.
In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.
I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're
just there.
That hasn't happened to you guys?
I've done it.
And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.
This episode of the Dan Lebitard show is presented by Draft Kings.
Draft Kings, the crown is yours.
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 there.
There's not going on this week.
I don't need that too.
Is he okay?
Oh, my God, he knows.
I'm not breaking news here.
He's just in his 60s.
So?
Well, I mean...
People live a long time.
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.
Wait, so he's dying or he's getting fired?
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 adult-only event,
and he's allowed us to give our listeners a discount. Roy, give the people some of the details
on this. Yeah, this event is tomorrow. Please do not bring your kids. This is adults only, 21 and
over. The code is R-O-N-M-2-5. You can get 15% off the ticket price, which is $150 each,
has open bars, and you can eat from 20 restaurants.
You can go to zoomimmy.org slash Monster
and use code R-O-N-M-2-5 for a 15% discount.
Is this like an upside-down pineapple situation?
What we got here?
Maybe.
We all agree that this is Derek Zoolander, right?
Yes.
Like, they just photoshopped a picture of Zoolander a little bit.
That's blue steel.
He's not an ambiturner, right?
So that's why he's turning his left right here.
Dominique Foxworth is waiting for.
us in the Zoom. I thought Billy
was going to speak there, but Billy, as you know, does things
what he wants to do things. No, we're talking to me
and he was just trying to, 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 sick, he's dying. Government.
Yeah, what's happened? He's just old.
He's not that old. Look,
this is a day for celebration of old
people. I'm going to 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-year-old 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,
threw for three touchdowns, had 100-plus passer rating, threw a 25-yard TD bass,
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.
He's not playing quarterback for the Browns or the Bengals.
Like, you'll be fine. He's talking about animals.
He's riding a golf cart.
Exactly right.
Dominic Foxworth joins us now.
The Dominic 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 to guard T. Higgins and him getting six catches.
And the last one makes you a huge failure in a 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.
First of all, how's Dan?
This man is a successful professional communicator, but still struggles to communicate.
And I love it.
It humanized you.
It's 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 a challenging position.
And I think, to be honest, we talk about 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 going to get beat a little bit more.
And it's just those inches that change the way that things work,
especially when there's an accurate quarterback.
So he was on Chase and 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 locked down,
shut down corner that they put on the guy
and he disappears.
But you also mentioned earlier that the running attack,
that was really the difference for the Bengals.
The Steelers running a lot of single hot stuff
trying to take away that rushing attack,
which isolates Jalen Ramsey.
And Jalen Ramsey was playing off really far quite a bit.
And then when he got up impressed,
that's when that little bit of quickness
that he might have lost, it gets in the way.
comes a problem. 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? No, I mean, his assessment would be that
he played poorly. He gave up a couple 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 difficult job. It's hard to do. If you don't succeed, then you didn't do it well.
That's one of the great things about sports is you don't have a whole bunch of conjecture about
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.
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. 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 thrown from behind. He'll just
decimate you all game long and
all of a sudden, the Bengals look exactly like they did with Burrow.
How's that possible?
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 bad,
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 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 Flacko wasn't doing anything amazing.
He was just picking up 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 impacts 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 blacko
loves to play football he really does he's been asked in press availability about like why are you
still doing this you have nothing to prove and he's like well i'm presently at the level or 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 so
want to be out here it's a freaking amazing or or he hates his family or he hates my tomlin
put it on the poll at lebitard show uh who does joe flacco hate more uh mike tomlin or his own family
oh i mean don't his sons hate him isn't that a thing that his son's like opposing uniforms
oh man that's a that's a cauldron there that's a tough household or 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 have given them also probably pretty athletic
and tall, thanks to your jeans, still like, you know what?
Jemir Gibbs.
That's my guy.
Yeah, buy me the Gibbs jersey with that money we make, Dad.
That's awful.
I didn't even think about that.
It's like, actually the money from winning Super Bowl's is the money that you little M.
M. Mafer's are taken to Dick Sporting Goods and being like, hey, put me down for one of
them 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?
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 to 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.
So, 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 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 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 bobs right and hit somebody
holl at jackson dark and cam scataboo all of a sudden we beat in the defender's super bowl champs
it's about having guys right and it feels like flacko's playing a bit of madden right now he's
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, right?
Like, it's easy to play quarterback when you have a guy that's that good and you just throw the ball to him.
It wasn't easy for Browning, like 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 four and four, 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 just 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.
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 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 at play?
poorly and the Bengals are like, hey, man,
bring back flacko. His toes
not quite healed all the way. We need to bring back
flacko. Folks, what if I told you, you could give a gift that

Don Lebertard.
We didn't get to your guys as against the spread.
You're right. You're right. You're right.
I don't have it against the spread because I wasn't prepared for this segment.
You need an Ian in your life.
You have actively played defense against me today in a way that has rarely been this undercutting.
Stugats.
Defense wins championships, baby.
That's show business.
This is the Don Lebatar show with the Stugats.
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.
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 as research.
I think the same thing is true of analytics.
Like, I think they're more sophisticated now.
But we're always using analytics.
We just call them tendencies.
It's like, when this guy lines up here, this is 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 a 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 is 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 you're
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 Kellyn 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. 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.
Time now for Guillermo's epic sound of the day.
It's going to be epic.
Hey, Billy.
It's Billy.
Dominique, how's it going?
What's that, buddy?
Dan, I mean, what's new?
You really took out Skipper in the last session.
Oh!
I did.
Whoa.
I didn't.
I wasn't, I wasn't, thank you, Tony gets.
I wasn't even here.
What are you talking about?
Also, he's talking about Gilligan.
Yeah.
Anywho.
Not the skipper.
You guys familiar with Demi Lovato?
Yeah.
Musician, actress.
Yes.
Voice of a generation, some say.
Had some troubles.
Some say.
Overcame them.
Now, honestly, looks happier than ever and healthier than ever.
Just, yeah, looking great.
fact you know what's going on there there was it what do you mean dan this ain't the room for it
demi lavato uh yes looks great no you you know who we're talking about yes okay so demi lavato who
you know years ago we we introduced the world to 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 lavat bros
where we went and we saw her at the daytona 500 if you remember correct you remember that no
You don't remember when we met
Demi Lovato?
You remember
as Coog's dance moves?
Yes, Cookech is dance moves.
That's the wrong picture, but that's fine.
Don't worry.
Never changed.
There we go.
Only that.
Only Coogs still stands.
Yeah.
Well, 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.
favorite dish my favorite dish i like mugs because they're very comfortable in your hand and they
hold the hot things that you don't have to touch so um you know coffee or hot tea more of a bowl
guy myself that is giermo's epic sound of the day i'm uh glad that we probably
from Guillermo.
Epic sound of the day.
It's going to be Apex.
You guys have a favorite dish?
I'm glad.
You're not your favorite dish.
I mean, I mean, it's actually a pretty good answer.
I get why it's dumb, but I mean, like, it's kind of a pretty good answer because it does have some use.
Could I just say?
I don't think a mug is a dish.
I don't think it's a poll at Levitux show.
I think it's a terrible answer.
Is a mug a dish?
Is a mug a dish?
I'd go with the saucer.
Sosser. My favorite dish is the sauce. That's what I call it.
Ramikin. My dad taught me that word. Look, don't question me on this.
Ramekins are you put clothes on in a window.
No, ramikins are little tiny cups. You put sauces in. Yep.
Ramikin sounds tawdry.
Put it on the poll. Do you know what a ramekin is? I want to get back to...
Ramikin. Barely know them.
I want to get to the conversation.
Poor Ken.
Dominique was starting when he said that Joe Flacco's kids are disrespectful.
All kids are disrespectful.
aren't they? All kids.
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, man. 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 it 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 going to get mad. That's all. Imagine if you step over, right? Like supreme
disrespect. In the NFL, you got a flag for stepping over somebody. AI stepping over Tileau. That's
disrespected. Tony. Tony, you think I ain't do that? You think I ain't blocked the door with the with
with the laundry basket? So they're stepping over said laundry basket. And by doing that,
are they, Dan, are they or are they not saying, hey, dad, F you.
you 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 i mean that's the thing about love is love in fear
but i think i've probably abided a little bit more disrespect for people that had some more
power like i've like been m f by plenty of coaches where it's like
like oh man and also like yeah sometimes me and ray louis disagree and i'm like you're right ray
okay i'd be quiet but he walks away but that's an interesting one though you 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. Exactly. I know. It's just 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 going to have so much
power and control, do whatever I want. Man, when I get to run my own company, I'm going to have so
much power and 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 in 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 married with three kids.
Not nearly as much fun.
Dominique's kids are like, he'll be fun.
We'll just draw another picture where his hairline is real strong.
That's how he'll be with me back.
I used to laugh with my brother about how our mom would apologize and the off chance that she did something that we were upset about rather than being like, look, I'm sorry.
She just be like, what's that video game you've been talking about?
Where those shoes that you've really been liking and that you 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.
Is there anything more disrespectful than 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 shouldn't be.
These kids need to be better kids because I'm their dad.
It's a great communicator.
They are normally fantastically behaved children, but they do like, because we are like more gentle parents than they.
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
in the kitchen if you're not going to take them back into the kitchen those sorts of things that my
life is riddle with those things and they irk me because they're so small that i see like seem like
the crazy person for losing it's 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 isn't 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 goddamn bull
and walked past it for the third time.
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
Millie Vanilly.
And like, oh, this is the biggest thing.
And 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 video.
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-sinking.
But deep in my heart, I was like, no, but you don't understand.
We all believe.
We all thought it was real.
There's no, I mean, there's the, when you're able to look back at something
because they're going to have the same experience
and we're 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 too.
It's the exact same thing.
Milly Vanilli, girl you know it's true.
It's the exact same thing.
Girl you know it's true.
Mike, you know I have one rule to live by, right?
Don't place parlays on multiple long shots.
Don't say a game is one when it hasn't hit triple zero.
Always drink your Yeagermeister ice cold.
That's the rule.
Everything else is merely a suggestion.
Everything else?
Everything else.
Wearing clean underwear every day?
Well, that's just a personal decision.
Brushing your teeth?
Obviously smart, but not a rule.
Never pee-pee on an electric fence.
Okay, maybe there are two rules.
But the one that is 100% that I insist on completely,
Yeagermeister must be drank ice cold.
Or don't drink it at all.
Damn, that's cold.
Exactly.
You're finally starting to get it.
Drink responsibly.

Don Lebertard. 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.
I was last year's shirt was World War III. Yeah. Our group chat has a good feeling
about this one. The lightning, the lightning aren't shit to me. I'm just going to come
right out and tell you right now. We have surpassed the lightning. They're not a formidable
foe. They're a joke. Stugats. I don't take them seriously
at all. Strike me by lightning. I don't care. Nothing's going to 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.
This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats.
While we've been talking about communication,
what do you think Dan was trying to say here, Dominique?
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?
I think that's really messed up that Dan would out people
on air like gosh they got a little secret thing going on there let them live
baby that's a totally abnormal way to ask somebody if they've ever been to the zoo right
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 um 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 turned it.
And it's just like, you couldn't tell.
It's 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.
And it usually starts with, tell me if I have this wrong.
Dominia, you got Dan's words getting into a club, which is his mouth.
And they're all going, all right, how many got with you, all these guys?
And then there's one word that kind of sneaks in in in the back, like, I'm with them too.
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 words snuck in with the group of baddies.
Like, it's just a fat dude just squeezing, oh, I'm with them.
He never used to get in before.
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?
I think they just bum rush the door.
Zoo experiences.
It's like seven Chris Penns.
Just bum rushing.
I think you're doing great, sweetie.
It's the two, it's growing and experience.
Those are two words that's like, no, y'all, you two all will be in this club.
Get out of here.
All I was trying to say is that he gave your kids a VIP tour.
They'll never forget.
Then say that.
I wanted them to say it, and I've gotten old.
This is one.
happens. I haven't done that. Zoological experience. I think my window closed on that.
Raj is never going to talk to me again. Let's be real. 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. It's like sometimes
these things bleed into the same conversation. 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?
You have to let him know.
I would love to let him know.
No.
Was it, Dan?
Was he enjoying it?
He seemed to be really into it.
Eagles Giants.
I mean, it's a great game.
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 or 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?
and they kept it going for, like, well over an hour.
It'd be great if Dan just started today's show with Cam Skadaboo became a star last night.
I told you this happened in an Amazon Prime game, the Rams game the other day.
You're like, these games are starting late.
They're still outside the stadium with Fitzpatrick and Whitworth playing with the tailgate crowd,
and I'm looking at my watch.
How is there, daylight?
It's 845.
How is it that they're still doing this?
Just because I hit play, thought it was going to take me to live,
and it went back to the start of the broadcast.
Playing in Hawaii.
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 texts,
talking to people about a game
that's been over for an hour
because I'm still behind.
It happened to be a couple of 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 a 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.
Ooh, 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.
It's a very, I mean, most of them now seem like they're TikTok dancing. You got to get on TikTok. They're all TikTok dances.
Yeah, it's this like booty shaking song where all the guys, which you will be surprised by. It's a woman's song.
I forgot what it's called.
Oh, take me through there, I think, is what it's called.
Show us.
Funchy Show us.
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.
And so which one got you, though?
Is there one in particular that got you?
That's crazy.
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 TikTok
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 sounded
like I'm not making sense. That one
you know what it means Tony
yeah you can't be doing that anymore
they banned it which is funny because
I mean, it's innocent enough. It's not cut in the throat.
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.
None.
I mean, I think there are 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,
a little bit better and some of the great teams have gotten a little bit worse. But I think
the thing that's most attractive, which I know you're, you pay attention to, Dan, about
the Chiefs is they're 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 going to work. And he
does not call it. He like saves it, puts it at 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, Josh Simmons.
I think they're going to be 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 cults.
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, oh, excuse me, Indiana Jones, right, new nickname.
Dominique, 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 can be probably one of the best teams in the AFC.
Yeah, their defense, I think, is, like, tricky,
which is 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,
makes it so much easier. Like, we've changed the rules in this game. If you remember back
when we were all younger, like defense was it, like defense in 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 high pressure situations. And
always had a hard time with that as an assessment, like guys who choke and stuff,
because it just doesn't feel like, it 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'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.
And eventually he wins the big one.
Like, 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 Darnold.
he's better this year than it was last year.
So 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 team, I think, might surprise some people.
What are you laughing at everything?
I'm turning into Dane.
J.S.N, huh?
JSN, huh?
The cheat code.
That's the announcer cheat code.
Oh, Jackson Smith and Jigba?
Yeah, because I said that last name, man.
It's tricky.
Oh, Jigma, right? I didn't get it wrong.
No, not you.
Not you. I'm just saying the announcers.
Don't grunk me. He was 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.
What's most interesting to me about any of this
is that I want to know who's watching my show
and telling you what I said
because there's no chance that you are.
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.
Dominique, let me say you right now.
He doesn't watch xenophobes, so he's never done any syphobe
so I'm guessing he actually watches your show.
Nah, he don't. He got somebody.
Somebody's doing the work, Dan.
All right, come clean, Dan.
Who's watching it and telling you?
Not true.
I'm listening to the things you say.
That's not tricky.
Tricky with your language right there.
Are you listening to the things I say?
Are you listening to my show?
There was just a graphic up on ESPN when it was.
Yes.
Was it what the fox?
Yeah, what the fox?
There was just a graphic.
Dominique says Smith and Jig was the best receiver in the league.
You were like, huh?
I like that.
Yeah, that's pretty good.
I could fool Dominique into thinking I care.
Retribution is a movie, by the way.
this week on Sinoffield.
That is impressive, though.
Like, as we're making fun of you for being old, the ability to, like, retain short-term things,
like that's, you're not that old yet, Dan.
Thank you that I don't have Alzheimer's.
They're very impressive bar that Kevin the gunman.
How is Dan?
Yeah.
It's always less than one of these.
Yeah.
Yeah, you got to suck your teeth first.
I get that question every day on day.
He's like, hey, how are you doing?
We've got.
I think 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 of 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? 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, and 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, uh, and if you have been around long enough, you know, tell them before they ask.
You got to tell them before they ask.
Hey, we're going to Palms this where you get the number two to the flat.
You've 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.
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?
Like, you do remember that you didn't know the play before you came to the touchdown.
It's very Byzantine.
Is that what he's done?
The empire?
You turn it into Dan.
It just means like unnecessarily complicated.
So that word was Byzantine.
Yeah, exactly.
Like Ruth Goldberg would be like a Byzantine like contraption.
Am I gone or later on there anymore?
Thank you for this podcast experience.
Billy, I love you.
You're the best.
Okay, bye.
Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began.
In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.
Quervo.
What are you doing here?
Quervo. Anytime someone says Quervo, I show up.
Well, I do know that to be true, but even during an ad reads, like...
Quervo.
I think he could lay out, especially from one of our great partners.
Sweet, delicious, quervo.
Since then, Quervo is stayed true to its roots.
The same family, the same land, the same passion.
Quervo.
So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.
Quervo.
Quervo.
The tequila.
That invented tequila.
