Le Batard & Friends - South Beach Sessions

Dan Le Batard, Stugotz

There's way more behind the biggest and most beloved personalities from sports, music, comedy and more... all it takes is longtime host and reporter Dan Le Batard revealing more about himself than ever before too. South Beach Sessions is the critically acclaimed flagship podcast in the LeBatard and Friends Podcast Network. These one-on-one conversations aren't the same old, boring sitdowns - there's no success story without some struggle, no laughs without a few tears, and no questions left unanswered by Dan who gets past what you've already heard and into more with Dan Le Batard.

  • 219 - Chris Parnell

    Chris Parnell has a voice made of liquid gold and comedy timing you can set your watch to... which has earned him legendary status at two comedy institutions - The Groundlings and 'Saturday Night Live' - both celebrating their 50th anniversary this year. Known as "The Iceman" during his eight seasons on SNL (because he never broke character, not even during the classic Christopher Walken “More Cowbell” sketch), Chris reminisces about his comedy career with Dan-- the amazing early Groundlings moments, the wild world of SNL afterparties, working with fellow greats Will Ferrell, Tim Meadows, and he reveals a few regrets from his time on comedy's biggest stage. Chris also opens up to Dan about how his religious upbringing shaped him, his family legacy of speaking in front of a microphone, and the weight of wrestling for years with the idea of contacting his biological parents for the first time. SNL's three-hour live 50th anniversary primetime special airs Sunday, February 16th, on NBC. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • 218 - Anthony Jeselnik

    He’s not quite America’s sweetheart… Anthony Jeselnik is more of America’s caliginous omen. But there IS a human being underneath the dark persona and all that bravado.  Together, Dan and Anthony explore his endless well of ambition, his extreme drive to always be funnier, better, sharper. Anthony explains what he finds so funny about the darkest parts of humanity, and how he’s able to make people laugh about them. Anthony also dives into the state of comedy today, holding nothing back when it comes to criticizing the lazy state of the industry. Anthony then shares why the first ten minutes of his special is dedicated to defending trans people… and why he sees provoking for the sake of being provocative is an embarrassing way to perform. You can watch Anthony’s new Netflix special, Bones and All, available November 26th. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • 217 - David Alan Grier

    If you don’t get excited to see David Alan Grier, then something is seriously wrong. Like, please, go figure that out… we’ll wait.  David’s got 40 years of experience on the stage and screen - the craftsman of both comedy and drama with the awards to prove it. He didn’t start out as a Tony-winning actor, though… David tells Dan about how his upbringing shaped his lifelong curiosity, from getting his start in comedy as a class clown, to his father’s history as a Black activist and David’s own attempt to join the Black Panther Party. David reflects on the incredible legacy and enduring magic behind “In Living Color”, his approach to the art of balancing comedy and drama today – and how both, coupled with kindness, can help us get through dark times. David stars in the new NBC hit comedy, “St. Denis Medical”, streaming now on Peacock. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • 216 - Iliza Shlesinger

    Iliza Shlesinger has been a dominant force in comedy and podcasting… and that’s because she’s never been afraid to stay true to herself and her audience. Iliza holds nothing back from Dan in how she’s made a career in comedy - the risks and reality of betting on yourself and the often unspoken toll it can take. Iliza also opens up her experiences now as a new mother, including the immense joy for her (“it’s even better than performing”), while also diving into her battling postpartum depression, and how she realized she needed help to deal with the weight of it all. Iliza’s “Get Ready” tour will be continuing through the rest of 2024, you can get tickets at iliza.com. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • 215 - Stavros Halkias

    Who has a massively popular podcast, a hilarious hit Netflix special, and a new movie which he wrote, produced and stars in? It’s Stavvy, baby!  Stavros Halkias has reached the highest levels of comedy success and makes it look easy, but it took Stavvy years and years of grinding to make his dreams come true, not to mention the pressure of living up to the high expectations of immigrant parents… especially when you’re actually high. Stavvy also tells Dan about the life-changing success (and end) behind the Cum Town podcast, his athletic past, his pre-comedy dreams of going pro and how he keeps his love for sports alive through his alter-ego, Ronnie, the beloved, worst kind of Ravens superfan. Go see Stavros’ new film, “Let’s Start a Cult,” in theaters now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
