The digest
Dan Le Batard and David Samson kick off the local hour with a discussion about Samson's breathless arrival, leading into a broader conversation about college football, the SEC, and the surprising success of American tennis players at the US Open.
Breathless Beginnings and Marathon Man Mike
David Samson explains his breathless state, having run from the Nothing Personal studio to the Le Batard Show studio in just 60 seconds, laden with his glasses, computer, phone, mouse, and a spilled water bottle. He recounts the chaos of trying to make it on time after Dan's abrupt tease the previous day, which left a 17-minute gap. Samson, a marathon runner, admits that carrying multiple items while running between studios is far more taxing than running 20 miles. Mike Ryan, who was also present for Nothing Personal, confirms the show's success, stating that the numbers "tripled" when he was on.
