The Big Suey: Would You Attend Their Funeral? (feat. David Samson)

Does your heart stop when you sneeze? Does coughing help you poop? How about picturing a dog pooping? We kick off today's show with Dan getting offended by Amin's pejorative nickname of Asterisk Man, Greg Cote's old song as the singing sportswriter, and Paul George's complaints over still not receiving a tribute video in Indiana. Then, Tony is our resident Jacksonville Jaguars expert and joins us from his paternity leave to break down the proper way to say DUUUUUUUUUVAAL not DUUUVALLLLLL. Plus, we hear from a ghost that is great at trivia, and we go back about a month to the state of University of Miami basketball after Jim Larranaga's retirement. Learn more about your ad choices.

Baron Davis is LA to his core, so of course Dan had to meet with him on his home turf for a special LA-based episode of South Beach Sessions. Steeped in vulnerability, Baron dives into his life and career on a new level – from the streets to being an NBA All-Star. Baron cracks open his past - growing up in South LA surrounded by violence and abuse - detailing his journey through the care of his grandparents from poverty to one of the wealthiest schools in the country. Baron also holds nothing back about his chaotic time with the Clippers – all the behind the scenes drama and destruction created under Donald Sterling’s ownership.
