South Beach Sessions with Dan Le Batard

A legend, point blank period.

Tony Hawk brought skateboarding to the mainstream, defined the sport, and made it accessible to thousands of kids through his charity work. And, not to mention, he stars in one of the most successful gaming franchises of all time (Tony Hawk's Pro Skater). Tony takes Dan through his upbringing, from being a hyperactive kid who just needed to get his energy out, to becoming one of the best skateboarders alive when he was only a teenager. He also explains what it was like when skating fell out of vogue in the 90s and he fell on tough times… and then boomed back into popularity a few years later. Dan also gets a rundown of all Tony’s injuries over his entire career - including the worst one, a broken pelvis. They also talk about aging and finding joy in a body that doesn’t work quite the way it used to. For the latest on Tony's foundation, The Skatepark Project, and his upcoming competition, Tony Hawk’s Vert Alert, this summer in Utah, go to TonyHawk.com

For decades, Ari Shaffir has brought the best stories in comedy to light.

Coming from a deeply religious upbringing, Ari’s wild and raunchy path in comedy seems about as far away from seminary as anyone can get. Ari speaks to Dan about his time in the industry and the liberation that comedy provided him after leaving his orthodox Jewish upbringing. Ari talks about what inspired him to bring the best voices in comedy together, to tell their real stories that they couldn’t tell anywhere else. He also details his process making his stand-up special “Jew,” traveling the world honing his material (and realizing that, even after years of religious study, he got some details about the Torah wrong). And, of course, it wouldn’t be a conversation with Ari Shaffir if he and Dan didn’t take a little dive into the world of psychedelics. Ari’s special, “Jew,” is available now on Netflix and watch his hilarious live storytelling show, “The End”, from YMH Studios. Go to AriShaffir.com for podcasts, tour dates, merch, and more.

Tom Segura is a powerhouse.

The comedian, actor, bestselling author, host, & co-founder of Your Mom's House Studios tells Dan Le Batard about his early dreams of making movies - never imagining he'd become one of the biggest comedians of all-time. Segura reflects on discovering stand-up after moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting, grinding through years of simply trying to make rent, and how podcasts and Netflix specials transformed his career. Tom also shares hilarious stories about his filterless Peruvian mother, “Charo,” growing up between two cultures, surviving a near-fatal overdose at 19, starting a bakery in Austin, and the lessons he's learning now about balancing fatherhood with a neverending work schedule. His latest Netflix special - “Teacher” - is now streaming and season two of “Bad Thoughts” premieres this month on Netflix.

Neal Brennan has never been afraid to share his thoughts on any topic... including his unfiltered opinions on Dan.

Dan Le Batard always looks forward to getting together with his friend, Neal Brennan, the multi-hyphenate comedian, writer, director, producer, and podcast host ("Blocks with Neal Brennan")... even though he's a little scared of the advice Neal shares on how to be creative in an ever-changing industry, maintaining the highest work ethic and standards even after all this time, and oh yeah, not annoying everyone in the process. They also talk about why Kevin Durant is an all-time (misunderstood) great, Dave Chappelle's continued influence, and the comedy greats of today. Watch, listen, and subscribe to "Blocks with Neal Brennan".

Hilarious, sharp, and full of boundless energy, Dulcé Sloan takes the reins this episode, and Dan is along for the ride.

They revisit her climb to success and her many, many jobs along the way. Dulcé began her career as an actor (the best goose you’ll ever see, by the way) and candidly tells Dan how others pushed her to dive deep into comedy, leading her to the quintessential comedy dream job, "The Daily Show"… only to realize it was just another job, too. She and Dan also talk about politics and their place in her comedy, identity, and the assumptions thrust upon you for simply being a visible Black woman in entertainment. Dulcé is touring throughout the year - check DulceSloan.com for latest dates and tickets.
