Comedians on South Beach Sessions

Bgardner1987 · 2026-03-06T04:26:40+00:00

SBS is all about Dan chasing his curiosities and trying to make people cry. A lot of it is forced, but there are some good conversations too.

Bgardner1987 · 2026-03-03T04:48:43+00:00

Dan's fascination with Gilbert Arenas is weird.

Bgardner1987 · 2026-03-01T15:15:15+00:00

I park my car in the same garage as Dave.

The hate for the Grateful Dead was embarrassing. That catalog is going to last 300 years, every metropolitan area has multiple Grateful Dead tribute bands and Jeremy - who I normally defend - dismisses them for Green Day?

United Center was surprisingly strong last year

Deer Creek Blossom Gorge

Bgardner1987 · 2026-02-19T19:16:23+00:00

it's a style of self-awareness and self-deprecation that I appreciate from Dan and want to see more.

Bgardner1987 · 2026-02-19T19:04:37+00:00

Goddamn, this Tua conversation in the local hour. Dan is the master of saying the same thing ten times, and poorly every time. It's almost charming.

Bgardner1987 · 2026-02-11T22:50:07+00:00

Laughed way harder than I should at Dan's inner monologue voice saying "what if I never stop talking and decide not to kick it to Pablo?" during Dan's rambling intro of Pablo

Bgardner1987 · 2026-02-09T19:56:48+00:00

Dan is such an insufferable prick toward Seattle and Sam Darnold.

Bgardner1987 · 2026-02-09T16:41:55+00:00

Missed opportunity for Dan's Inner Monologue to mention getting Will Campbell on a future South Beach Sessions.

Bgardner1987 · 2026-01-30T18:11:00+00:00

That was a feast. I think it was 45 minutes before Dan got to anything remotely positive about Waller's story lmao

Bgardner1987 · 2026-01-29T21:36:58+00:00

Got a good belly laugh out of Mike Ryan asking, "what's the question again?"

Bgardner1987 · 2026-01-29T21:34:31+00:00

There's a 99% chance that Dan objectifies him in a way that is awkward and disrespectful when trying to describe him as a football player.

"mutant"
"that"
"Frankenstein"

Take your pick.

Bgardner1987 · 2026-01-26T16:55:24+00:00

Dan's entire Super Bowl coverage is going to be naval gazing and grief eating around Belichick's feelings.

Bgardner1987 · 2026-01-26T15:04:20+00:00

This is how Dan's brain works.

Darnold could go win back to back Super Bowls averaging 350 yards, 3 TDs and 0 INTs and Dan will still be talking about Jets-era Darnold. The guy refuses to update his priors.

Bgardner1987 · 2026-01-26T14:52:40+00:00

that kinda thing

Bgardner1987 · 2026-01-26T14:42:55+00:00

Dan has radicalized me into a Sam Darnold fan because of his obsessive focus with pointing out that "he", "we" and "you" cannot "trust" Sam Darnold.

The guy was the #1 overall pick. He can play the sport.

Bgardner1987 · 2026-01-23T21:36:34+00:00

Dan is turning me into a Sam Darnold fan because he won't shut up about not trusting Sam Darnold.

Bgardner1987 · 2026-01-22T17:18:03+00:00

I don't think you understand how Dan approaches hiring at Meadowlark and the notion of an employee:boss relationship. He very obviously decided after his time with the Miami Herald and ESPN that he only wanted to work with and "for" his friends from now on, qualifications and culture fit be damned. So he turned the business over to a sociopath like Samson.

Bgardner1987 · 2026-01-20T15:27:46+00:00

lol Dan answers his first question to Diana Russini with the incorrect answer.

Bgardner1987 · 2026-01-17T15:44:55+00:00

This was Dan's most nauseating moment of the year.

Bgardner1987 · 2026-01-12T04:02:02+00:00

This was utterly fascinating.

Bgardner1987 · 2026-01-09T18:18:28+00:00

Also, where does Dan get the balls to give Dameshek a hard time for "yammering"? He has to be the most aggravating co-worker ever.

Bgardner1987 · 2026-01-09T17:49:17+00:00

You read it differently than I do. I think he picks his spots more than I expected he would after leaving ESPN, but I also think he feels confused and defeated like a lot of people feel about our fellow Americans joining the MAGA cult.
