Megan Rapinoe’s Silence & The Truth About Larry Bird
On today’s explosive episode of Don’t @ Me, Dan holds nothing back. He calls out the glaring hypocrisy of American sports stars who claim to fight for the oppressed but stay completely silent while the Iranian Women’s Soccer team literally risks their lives for freedom. Plus, Dan breaks down the chaotic possibility of Iran moving their 2026 World Cup games to Mexico.
Then, we transition from global politics to the hardwood. Dan unloads on Kansas star Hunter Dickinson for crying about negative Instagram comments while cashing $2 million NIL checks. Spoiler alert: Dan has zero sympathy for the "Big Boy Basketball" era.
Special Guest: Keith O’Brien, Author of Heartland
Author Keith O'Brien joins the show to reveal the dark, untold origin story of Larry Bird. Forget the Magic Johnson rivalry—this is the raw story of a broken kid from French Lick, overcoming poverty, his father's tragic suicide, and his disastrous stint at Indiana University, before finding salvation on a court in Terre Haute wearing a pair of blue jeans.
