Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard 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 DraftKings. DraftKings, 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 enough going on this week.
I don't need that too. Is he okay?

Maybe.
Maybe.
We all agree that this is Derek Zoolander, right? Yes. They just photoshopped a picture of Zoolander a little bit. That's Blue Steel. He's not an ambi-turner, 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 when he wants to do things. No, we're talking to a mean. Because you again said, after we were trying to clarify, this might be the last one he does. And we're like, well, because he's sick. He's dying. Government. Yeah, what's happening? 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 a 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.
He's not playing quarterback for the Browns or the Bengals. He's like, you'll be fine. He's talking about animals. He's riding a golf cart saying, hey, there's a zebra. Exactly right. 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. 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.

Chapter 4: How does Dominique Foxworth analyze Jalen Ramsey's performance?
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 recently 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 Flacco wasn't doing anything amazing. He was just picking them apart and making the decisions to get rid of the ball quickly and finding the soft spots in the zone. But yeah, I don't know why he's still doing it, which at first it was 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.
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's like, why wouldn't I still want to be out here?
It's freaking amazing.
Or he hates his family.
Or he hates Mike Tomlin.

Chapter 6: How do microaggressions manifest in parenting?
That's the wrong picture, but that's fine. Don't worry. Never changed.
There we go.
Only Coogs still stands.
Yeah.
Well, not today. 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.
Your 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, you know, coffee or hot tea.
More of a bowl guy myself.

Chapter 7: What are the current dynamics in the NFL regarding team performances?
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 fine. We'll just draw another picture where his hairline is real strong.
That's how they win me back. 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? What were those shoes that you've really been liking and that you would pick it up for us?
And that was the 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. Clearly not true. Is there anything more disrespectful 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 shouldn't be. These kids need to be better kids because I'm their dad. It's a lot of words. He'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 life is riddled with those things and they irk me because they're so small that I seem like the crazy person for losing it. Like, oh yeah, it's just 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 disrespected. 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 goddamn bowl and walked past it for the third time.

Chapter 8: How does Dan's communication style impact the show?
Don't place parlays on multiple long shots. Don't say a game is won when it hasn't hit triple zero.
Always drink your Jägermeister 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, Jagermeister must be drank ice cold. Or don't drink it at all. Damn, that's cold. Exactly. You're finally starting to get it.

Don Libetard. 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. No, no, no.
Last year's shirt was World War III. Yeah. Our group chat has a good feeling about this one.
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. Stugatz. I don't take them seriously at all. Strike me by lightning. I don't care.
