Domonique Foxworth on Diabetes of the Ego & the Job He Wanted | Pablo Torre Finds Out

The ESPN host and ex-NFL union president explains why he's not worried about his eulogy, what happened to his candidacy for NFLPA executive director, and what he learned at Harvard Business School. Also: the milk check, the original MySpace, expensive mahogany, and more of Pablo's tortured metaphors.

[@Brandon-se4wn]

I will pay money to see a regular Pablo & Dominique podcast

[@greencrue13]

They used to have a show together with Mina also every Sunday on espn radio it needs to come back honestly

[@DanielHernandez-jn1oz]

All day

[@STMoody6]

You know you're listening to something good when you can relate to, and learn from what you're listening to, but about halfway through this podcast really connected. This, as everything Dom is a part of, was great

[@morishimayouth9116]

Thank you Domonique and Pablo for that rich spiritual food. I quit my job in February, 14 years in a call center and I've been playing call of duty and smoking weed trying to find my purpose and this gave me a great push in the right direction. Thank you again for providing another chance to find the meaning of my trials while wondering what's on Pablo's porn history.

[@MrScroogedmcduck]

Yes

[@kylelowers6660]

Props to your wife Dominque. Graduating law school (not to mention it’s Harvard), studying for the bar and having a baby all in one year. That’s superhero shit lol.

[@Jakecam]

Man Domonique is so good at talking life

[@steevoo1]

His most recent SBS is still one of my favorites that I'll go back to listen to.

The biography of Dominique Foxworth that none of us knew we needed

[@EsX13]

Can we please get an uncensored version? I think we're all adults here...

[@Nizzar1310]

“No matter how high you are on a mountain, if there are no dips and no valleys, then you’re just on a plane!” Domonique is my favorite kind of brilliant; the kind where he’s so confident in his brilliance he never feels the need to go out of his way to show it.

[@Stewart118Tyler]

That was a damn good episode 👏🏿 he was right

[@offscreenlongo]

Extremely mentally and emotionally therapeutic listen. This is a great platform for the chemistry between you two.

[@Rawsavon]

Can never get enough Foxworth on the LeBatard feed.

Incredible ep. You two are a great team. Appreciate this convo so much

[@brobronson1279]

Milk check😂😂😂

[@Brogenitor]

Pablo just going through the rolodex of all the greatest hits (love me some Foxworth, can't tell if him coming on the show is a rose or thorn in his wife's eyes). Bet that Bo is gonna make an appearence at some point.

[@romeyrome32]

I cosign your point. I hope the homie Bomani comes through to give us an hour of great content.

[@Brogenitor]

@@romeyrome32 I'm asusming it'll happen, no way they don't spend 2 seasons together hosting a show and NOT do an episode together for this. I still maintain that High Noon had all the necessary ingredients to be a fantastic show, but ESPN couldn't get them combined in the right way to succeed. That and so many sports purists just hate Bo and to a lesser degree Pablo because neither of them conform to their standards of sports coverage. Smh.

[@romeyrome32]

@@Brogenitor We seriously have to stop agreeing so much. Lol. High noon was a really good show but unfortunately dummies in the media, their tv partners and the fans want dumb down, hot take, asinine sports analysis without any kind of nuance. Who can say the most outlandish garage for ratings, perfect example, Skip Bayless. UGH. The purists hate Bomani and Pablo for many reasons one which of is their intelligence and how they're opinions were so smart, well thought out supported by facts and fair.

[@tholla2]

Pablo should have ended Fox's resume with "and now he hosts a podcast with alabaster"

[@Joey_Headset]

Blowhole Party 9 is a classic. Answers a lot of questions that were left unanswered in Blowhole Party 8.

[@coltongray1901]

Ozymandias is a good reminder of the value of legacy and weight of accomplishments. Personal happiness is the most important priority because it is all that exists in the grand scheme.

[@twobarsfourstars]

Nothing wrong with feeling good with what you’ve achieved and what you have, the idea of needing to do more with no relationship to the why can be an endless doom loop where success is meaningless. Glad you two made the decisions and made good on the opportunities that led you to where you’re at now sharing it with us all!!

[@juels27]

"We saw the map": but I feel both your paths was an undiscovered part of the map. Like when you find out how to get to the other side of the Liberty City Island in GTA3 the first time without following the game. HAHA I love yall's stories! Very relatable.

[@juels27]

Pablo with the game hacking reference lol

[@PRBoricua23]

“You’ve gone inpablito” I cackled 😂

[@a3gill]

Post-athletics depression due to lack of purpose is REAL -- no matter what level you find out you can't do it anymore. You gotta figure out a new purpose well into your life.

[@isaaccervantes5955]

Omg I need that Pablito !!! Pic on a shirt !!!!

[@Unbreakzable]

Pablo can't tell me he wasn't pinoyboytoy on Asian Avenue. Our version of Black Planet which I was also on

[@thehoboman]

I'm black but also had an AA page...I got a ton of play from that 😂

U 2 are in my top 5 to listen to on laf. #2 is not xmas. When will dom get his own meadowlark show?

[@SamMcConkey]

Great conversation fellas. I “squandered” a law career to be a stay at home dad and have no (well, few) regrets. When I meet people who I “could have been” I use my observed lack of education or ambition as a super power. I can sneak up on them without them ever knowing it. Keep up the good work.

[@MafiaDom]

Never knew my condition was diagnosable as diabetes of the ego

[@PabloTorreFindsOut]

it's a medical term

[@leelevin4822]

I am familiar with the feeling of not meeting my life expectations. I was sidetracked by a work/family conflict that took me out of paid work for 20 years. I did not go to Harvard, yet I get it. Can't dwell...move on

[@ejkboxing]

The US only finds maybe 1% best athletes. I've never lost a race in elementary, junior high or high school. I joined the Army after high school (went to & finished college while in the Army) & I never lost a race in the 100, 200 (unofficially broke the 200 record that was held by Carl Lewis in 1985), 800, 1 mile & 2 miles. One guy beat me in a 2 mile race, but I beat him several times after that. I ran in several 5 &10 mile races & one marathon. I had respectable times in those races only managed 2nd place several 5 mile races & had to make sure I at least beat the 1st place woman in the other races. The one marathon was just to see if I could run non-stop for 25 miles. I did it & never wanted to do it again. I beat several NBA, NFL & college athletes in all of those races. I ended my work career (retired at age 42) as a Lead Scientist & Head Intelligence Analyst at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. I've owned my own boxing gym & fitness training facility ever since I retired so kids who remind me of myself as a kid might get discovered.

[@mkhanman12345]

Why are you bringing up races? Having speed helps but you're not racing why aren't you joining Usain Bolt and what he does

[@jrsca76]

Marathon = 26+ miles not 25 unless you are Rosie Ruiz.

[@OvSpP]

Nique always seems like he’s ever so slightly pissed off.

Would def subscribe to DFoxworth show if he had his own KZbin channel. Too much other espn content I don’t want clogging up my feed if I sub to their channel to watch DFox. Subbed to Pablo. Subbed to DSamson. Do it DFox…

[@thehoboman]

You can subscribe to his podcast on other platforms.

@@thehoboman yeah but I don’t listen to podcasts, only watch. and yes, I am screen addicted child.

@@SyracuseBradit’s okay, I really do think they’d rather have the engagement on KZbin. Call me crazy but I do see Fox working at Meadowlark soon. He’s around the studios enough.

[@tadah21]

Pablo is going to kill on this pod it's like neal brennan blocks cult following that's loyal. Don't get political puhlease😮

[@jrsca76]

The show where a couple of angst-filled, frat boy Harvard graduate millennials, sit around rationalizing and eventually ‘find out’ why there’s dust in their navels.

[@mike-r575]

I will neither watch nor listen to today's episode, because I dislike Domonique Foxworth for what he did in 2022. During the 2022 NBA playoffs, Domonique said that Golden State had zero chance of winning the NBA championship. And during the 2022 NBA Finals, Domonique doubled-down by using his hands to make eyeglass frames around his eyes to accentuate that Golden State had 0.0% chance of winning the championship. Those "dumb-dumb" hot takes are the reason that if Domonique Foxworth on a show, I immediately change the channel! Or in the case of a podcast, I refuse to listen or watch.
