The Dan Le Batard Show

Latest Episodes:

Cowboys, Cups, and Banning the Wave Jul 10, 2026

Show notes

This week, we’re covering all the bases—and the pitches, and the gridiron. We kick things off with a deep dive into the NFC East, breaking down what to expect from the Eagles, how Jalen Hurts is looking, the latest on Jim Harbaugh, and the current state of the Dallas Cowboys.

Then, we trade our cleats for pitch-side seats to talk World Cup fever and the unwritten rules of global fan etiquette. Are you doing it right, or are you the problem? Finally, we take a trip to the Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field to tackle the most hard-hitting topics in baseball: the infamous pee troughs and the real reason they strictly ban the wave in the outfield bleachers.

Grab a beer, mind your manners, and tune in!

Jason Benetti And The Dap Heard Around The World | Hour 1 Jul 09, 2026

"They should carry a Rubik's Cube."
