Show notes

You truly shouldn't be allowed to listen to this...

Get ready to have all of your preconceived notions and feelings towards David Samson tested. David has his relationship with Dan pushed to the limits as they chew over their complicated and controversial friendship, how they've helped each other to grow emotionally through pain, and why Dan has unknowingly hurt him these past few weeks as their personal and professional lives become more blurred. To steal the title of this year's Oscar winning movie, this conversation is "Everything, Everywhere All at Once".

Israel Gutierrez May 12, 2023

Show notes

Israel "Izzy" Gutierrez is an open book so he came ready to read Dan...

Even after twenty years of friendship, there is a lot these two have never told each other until now. From how Izzy connected deeply with Dan before they ever met to the fear, frustration, and pride of being an openly gay man in sports media, and why Izzy feels so far away from Dan lately, when he's still a "local Miami kid" right around the corner. They also speak to the mutual love between Papi and Izzy (and might shock some "Highly Questionable" fans with a show secret) and the grief and remorse that will live with Izzy for all of his remaining years... even when he plans to be here for another 80 more.

Amin Elhassan Apr 21, 2023

Show notes

Amin Elhassan never has a problem dishing out NBA hot takes or speaking his mind on any number of cultural topics, but getting him to communicate about his own emotions? That's another story... Amin opens up to Dan with a heavy heart about the ongoing conflicts in Sudan, grappling with feelings of shame, and tells Dan why all this time, he relates more to Papi than him. Amin and Dan also reflect on personal struggles they're working on, and how each have found ways to try to honor the sacrifices of their immigrant parents. Check your ego at the door with this one...
