Күн бұрын

Dan and Mike begin this hour with a conversation surrounding grief and prioritizing family over work after Dan read the story of Marvin Jones Jr. stepping away from the NFL. Dan reveals some sobering details of what the Le Batard family has been going through over the last couple of years. He also explains WHY he and parts of the crew have spent these last two weeks in Los Angeles. Plus, Dan and Mike Ryan discuss a now-scrapped segment where Dan and Mike Schur bloviated about the excellent Philadelphia Phillies team and fan base.

I felt extremely heartbroken to hear about the incident with Papi. His joy and laughter on HQ was truly one of the best things on ESPN, a nice break from people arguing about nonsense with the rest of what is on that channel. I hope he's on a better medication now with less side-effects and doing better.

It is impossible to be your best when so much trauma hits you, but you have to put one foot in front of the other, make tough decisions and not look back. Take the time you need and your audience will understand. You deserve the break for all the joy you've brought to so many. Much love.❤

Not going to lie, I was annoyed when I saw this caption in my feed. Over the last 6-months I’ve admittedly grown frustrated with my listening experience because it hasn’t done what it had done for me in the past for me. While struggling through another sleepless night driven by depression and anxiety I decided to give a listen at 4am. I didn’t expect to have the emotional response that came, but it and this was a therapeutic experience. Dan always says, people want to be around the show because it feels like your hanging out with a friends and family and I’ve never felt that more. I appreciate anyone who read this! If you can hear me, just understand I am sorry (extreme Action Bronson voice)

Dan I lost my sister to cancer cut down at just 23 years old and had my dad only in his early 60s succumb also to cancer so I understand. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do is go to work at my dead end service job knowing my family was hurting and needing me. I respect you so much for working through that. I know it doesn’t feel like it now but on the other side of that shaken confidence where everything just feels off is a strength you can’t believe.

Dan, Mike and entire cast/crew please don’t feel any extra pressure to keep up with anyone. Your relationship with audience members like myself is built on conversations like these and will always be different in that way. Few places in media exist with this level of honesty. No places in the sports media landscape give what you offer an audience every day. Thank you for your new perspective, and going behind the curtain for some serious pain and hardships you all have been dealing with. I have so much love for you Dan and Mike especially. Keep up the great work!

Big thanks to Dan for building the culture and doing the right thing by his crew by giving them shares in the company. I hope to be a boss like Dan one day. Thanks for the inspiration and I wish you well!

You guys represent so much good and the laughs you have given me and so many others can never be mentioned enough. To hear your father's and mother's respective story's and seeing how successful their children became must fill you with a little bit of pride. LEBO was amazing and will forever be a piece in the heart of Miami and Southern Florida - that can never be erased. I can't even imagine how much he meant to you, I don't have a brother, but the pain in your eyes shows me it hurts you still and that really is a great way to display how great of a man he was and how much you cared and loved for him. Thank you so much for all the memories and laughs you and the guys have provided.
