The Dan Le Batard Show

Pablo Torre, David Samson, and (eventually) Amin Elhassan are today's substitute teachers, and they're off to a roaring start with one goal: have more fun than the group in New Orleans for the Super Bowl. Pablo kicks things off by taking us through the details of his dinner with David at Joe's Stone Crabs. Then, the NBA trade rumors are still circling around Jimmy Butler and, now, Kevin Durant as we inch closer to tomorrow's Trade Deadline, but none of it compares to the Luka Doncic trade made by the Dallas Mavericks earlier this week. As interested as Pablo and David are in the transaction, they have questions around how ownership impacted the decision. That leads us directly to a Facebook conspiracy theory surrounding the Mavericks, Luka, Las Vegas, and Texas legislature. Plus, we witness one of the most awkward almost-high-fives in the history of this program. Today's cast: Pablo, David, Amin, Chris, Jessica, and Jeremy.
