Having been in high school when PTI was started it became a daily ritual from 14 to now. Still listen via podcast. One of the functional real relationships you can feel thru the TV came from Kornheiser and Wilbon. This was an unexpected treat. Thank you Dan. Thank you Michael.
Ive never heard so much bullshit in my life... Thats not work what thus guy does its a hobby !!! Welding is work... Shoveling is work !!! Not talking about sports !!!
Absolutely stellar interview. I'll concede I'm of the generation that has always viewed Wilbon as an old grump but seeing him talk in this setting has made me find a new appreciation for him.
PTI is my favorite sports show. Tony & Mike are the best and they introduced me to sweaty Dan. Now LeBatard & Stugotz is right up there with PTI for me. Thanks for this interview
I LOVE LOVE LOVE.... How Dan puts his Friends/Heroes on pedestals and Showers them with LOVE Cuz I know US Men have problems showing this emotion, It's Beautiful 👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks for this. After my mom passed in 2014 I moved to Monterey and caddied at Pebble Beach for almost five years, and I had Mike's bag when he was in the Bay area for the Ws playoff run in I think 2018. It was probably the best day I had in that five years, and we had the chance to talk about a lot of things. I cannot speak highly enough of Michael Wilbon, and I appreciate his thoughts so much on parenting these days as I am about to become a dad for the first time, at fifty. I'm just glad to find this and again thank you so much. Dan's ok too 😅
Growing up in the Washington D.C. area and reading the Sports section with commentary by The Michael Wilbon was EVERYTHING. Then when you’re grown, you get to see him on TV on an entertaining and successful forum. And then when you meet the dude and he’s the coolest dude. He’s an ICON ✊🏾
What a great interview!!ive been watching tony and mike from new zealand for 30 years so their touch has travelled alot further than just america,appreciate you ,cheers
What a great interview. I have always admired both of you for your dedication and grace on the air. Profound respect and admiration for both Mr. Wilbon and Mr. LeBatard.
This run of South Beach Sessions episodes over the past couple of months have been so damn good. Dan & team have really hit their stride with this show.
I just LOVED THIS!! I have always admired Mr. Wilbon. And I loved the genuine feelings you have for each other. Just outstanding. Next should be Tony K. Keep up the great work
Wow....excellent, excellent interview...this has made me an even bigger fan of Wilbon...Dan, didn't know he was such a great interviewer...mostly remember his "BAM" on PIT.
I absolutely GET and ADORE the SHOW and everything and everyone of the team blesses us with all podcast and clips. BUT I have to say, SBS is so unmatched intimately (BABY!) with Dan as an interviewer. This Wilbon session the absolute best of all! Amazing stuff Dan and Meadowlark crew ❤
This was another great one! Love getting more insight into Wilbon and talking about how he is with his wife and Lilbon, along with stories of his folks.
dan, we're the same age & i've watched you forever.. i am so grateful to be a recipient of what you do.. great interview.. wilbon you are friggin' awesome too.. love you 2 guys!
This was so so lovely. Tony and Mike had such an impact on me growing up and It was so cool to hear him do this and talk about his life which I knew nothing about before this
Love these! Especially with the people I grew up with like Michael! And you as well, Dan! Thanks for all you do. Loved how Michael opened up about everything; even got me emotional thinking about my relationship with my dad who has passed.
This is excellent. I grew up in DC listening to AM 980 with Tony. And then seeing Wilbon and Tony on TV was everything. The level of sophistication that these gentlemen infused in Sports conversations was Perfection, and RAW as hell. Great interview Dan
"Well where did you want me to sit?" Wilbon's mother innocently said that yet her words gave her permission and were SO POWERFUL that they empowered others to follow her fight for equality. Seriously amazing stuff from Dan and Michael. Thank you!
Wilbon is from a bygone era. It's fascinating and I love it. I don't agree with it necessarily but I get where he is coming from and I appreciate that he is authentically himself. There are not many left like Wilbon, and credit to Dan for wrestling with him while leaving enough space to speak listen and accept him for where he is, when he could have easily taken this in a different direction for the sake of entertainment, or cheap clicks.
Wilbon and LeBetard are the two best kinds of sports commentators: old folks who like each other. They’re why I like The Inside Guys and why I liked Mike Shannon while he was alive. Fantastic individuals with deep conversations. I hope someone from my generation can do that.
If you want the next generation to take on something you have to connect with them. It’s not about intelligence. Previous generations accepted everything they were given. Recent generations do not on principle. Things that have always been valuable, like for some people stoicism, continue to be valued. Communication remains about how it’s practiced as much as what it’s about. Growing up on PTI and hearing this is a trip, appreciate all the honesty and glad Wilbon is growing still as a person and reaping the benefits. He’s a legend for a reason, and it’s cool to see how he didn’t have to be progressive to be a progressive hero. Shows how everyone can be a figure of change, not just the most fervent and the grief eaters. Another awesome interview; thank you all for sharing!!!!
I would be so excited for that but Bomani doesn't like to show vulnerability. Maybe Dan can cut through all that. It would be an amazing interview though.
LeBatard does a lot of things well. South Beach Sessions might be the best of those things. And Wilbon might be the best of those sessions! Didn’t want this conversation to end. 👏 😢
I just want to say thank you so much for this interview. I always enjoyed listening to Wilbon although I don’t always agree with his takes. 8 years older than I but some of his opinions make him seem 20 😂. I have a new found respect for him. Another GREAT I interview Dan. Thank you Dan and Michael for this.
Being a sports fan from St.Louis. I normally don’t like anything Chicago. It’s impossible to dislike Wilbon though. I even watched the show when he wore that Blackhawks Jersey.
The first time i saw PTI was in 2003 in the University Student Union. I can say with confidence that I haven't missed a single episode since then. I can't say that about anything else.
The way JJ Redick’s podcast gets athletes to speak openly and honestly, this podcast does exactly the same for media personalities. This is really good stuff
That was awesome!! I'm 61 and have been watching PTI, regularly, since the beginning , it's still in my queue. I am loving this latest spate of South Beach Sessions that have been happening since D Foxworth a couple or few weeks ago... Any chance of getting TK on the show? What about Dan's brother? Skipper? For the record: I am in favor of Samson and I would like to hear more from him in focused segments (like the Skipper and Adman deals) and why don't I ever see his pod pop up on my You Tube menu when, it seems like, everything else Meadowlark does does? Also, where's Pablo?
The dichotomy here of Dan's unrelenting empathy and gratitude and Mike's granite unbreakable exterior is FASCINATING
You're not lying. That was quite the yin and the yang of the male species on full display.
Absolutely, but also IS THAT PABLO'S MUSICCCCC

Thanks Dan, The South Beach Sessions have been amazing!

@@Sucksuphere Sounds like you didn't listen at all.
@@Sucksuphere So stop the work you're doing and go do this.
Absolutely stellar interview. I'll concede I'm of the generation that has always viewed Wilbon as an old grump but seeing him talk in this setting has made me find a new appreciation for him.

“Baaammm”….always a great intro when Dan was on PTI
@@shawnwelch317 I was going to type that too!
Wilson is always funny with fill in Frank Isola as well
I LOVE LOVE LOVE.... How Dan puts his Friends/Heroes on pedestals and Showers them with LOVE Cuz I know US Men have problems showing this emotion, It's Beautiful 👏🏾👏🏾
Totally agree.
Amen
Wilbon is like that angry old man yelling at a cloud, but you would want to be his neighbor...lol i love it

Nice to see Wilbon like this

Thank you for bringing Wilbon on. This was a treat.
I just LOVED THIS!! I have always admired Mr. Wilbon. And I loved the genuine feelings you have for each other. Just outstanding. Next should be Tony K. Keep up the great work
Whoah. Never expected to see Wilbon on here but always been of fan of both he and Kornheiser. Glad to see this side of him like all the guest on SBS
You pay things forward! Good job Mike! That's how it should be in every profession!
Absolutely engrossing. Loved it. Thank you!
Wilbon is well respected. I saw him and NBA team at Heat Finals game 4 and thought Wilbon is the most respected among those 4
These SBS have been amazing. I initially saw this episode on my podcast app, I immediately closed it and opened TH-cam to watch it here.
This is so God damn awesome. Thx to both of them
This was great to watch on a slow Sunday afternoon.
Good stuff dan....good stuff
Great interview
Wow! What a great and insightful interview!
Excellent interview. Very interesting and revealing Love Wilbon and Dan's interviewing skills
Wow....excellent, excellent interview...this has made me an even bigger fan of Wilbon...Dan, didn't know he was such a great interviewer...mostly remember his "BAM" on PIT.
This is an AMAZING interview.
Another banger. Love these
Great interview Dan thanks for sharing. Learned a lot
Great episode. These SBS’s have been incredible. Thank you Dan! Thank you Dan!
This was an awesome interview. Been watching PTI since it started in my college days
I was just gonna watch a little bit of this and ended up watching the whole thing.
Great Interview Dan!
Great interview subject MW!
I absolutely GET and ADORE the SHOW and everything and everyone of the team blesses us with all podcast and clips. BUT I have to say, SBS is so unmatched intimately (BABY!) with Dan as an interviewer. This Wilbon session the absolute best of all! Amazing stuff Dan and Meadowlark crew ❤
Love these!
This is an incredible interview.
This was another great one! Love getting more insight into Wilbon and talking about how he is with his wife and Lilbon, along with stories of his folks.
The OG & GOAT Michael Wilbon 👏🙌.. His career & accomplishments speak for themselves, but also, what an incredible human being 🙏
dan, we're the same age & i've watched you forever.. i am so grateful to be a recipient of what you do.. great interview.. wilbon you are friggin' awesome too.. love you 2 guys!
Funny hearing Wilbon Curse. I like it though lol!
This interview made me subscribe. Incredible conversation. When sports and life mix.
This was so so lovely. Tony and Mike had such an impact on me growing up and It was so cool to hear him do this and talk about his life which I knew nothing about before this
Wilbon "I don't trust feelings." I love a real man.
Great stuff. Now you need to interview tony if he will leave his attic.
This is great! Thanks, guys
I sooooo loved this. Every minute of it.
Wilbon calling his son the P word is gold!!!
Spoiler alert 😂 yeah I can picture him doing that
This was fantastic
Love these! Especially with the people I grew up with like Michael! And you as well, Dan! Thanks for all you do. Loved how Michael opened up about everything; even got me emotional thinking about my relationship with my dad who has passed.
history ,sharing, and healing...thank you!
Love this! Keep them coming!!
I needed this!! Thank you Dan for this❤
This is excellent. I grew up in DC listening to AM 980 with Tony. And then seeing Wilbon and Tony on TV was everything. The level of sophistication that these gentlemen infused in Sports conversations was Perfection, and RAW as hell.
Great interview Dan
Amazing Pod!!!!
This was a FANTASTIC show. Just about life more so than sports. Two of my absolute favorites in media.
Great episode 👏 👌
Big respect to both these guys. Thank you for doing this.
Amazing conversation!! May have been the best one. I love Wilson’s mindset. Great job Dan!
Wilbon
"Well where did you want me to sit?"
Wilbon's mother innocently said that yet her words gave her permission and were SO POWERFUL that they empowered others to follow her fight for equality. Seriously amazing stuff from Dan and Michael. Thank you!
Such a great story teller.
Wilbon is from a bygone era. It's fascinating and I love it. I don't agree with it necessarily but I get where he is coming from and I appreciate that he is authentically himself. There are not many left like Wilbon, and credit to Dan for wrestling with him while leaving enough space to speak listen and accept him for where he is, when he could have easily taken this in a different direction for the sake of entertainment, or cheap clicks.
Wilbon is a LIVING LEGEND!!!!
Wilbon and LeBetard are the two best kinds of sports commentators: old folks who like each other. They’re why I like The Inside Guys and why I liked Mike Shannon while he was alive. Fantastic individuals with deep conversations. I hope someone from my generation can do that.
The LeBron joke was elite 🤣
PTI has and always will be my favorite sports show. Wilbon & Kornheiser were made for TV
One of the best in Sports media! 👍
This was such a great conversation.

Another awesome interview; thank you all for sharing!!!!
Get Bomani on here next. These are wonderful.
Yes!!
I would be so excited for that but Bomani doesn't like to show vulnerability. Maybe Dan can cut through all that. It would be an amazing interview though.
Man, this was so cool. Thank you.
This was incredible. The south beach sessions have been so fucking good - the best content apart from the normal show that they’re making
Not sure how you do it, Dan.. Another great one.
PTI is the only reputable program on ESPN outside of the live sports. Mike was like a father, and Tony like an uncle. I loved this interview.
LeBatard does a lot of things well. South Beach Sessions might be the best of those things. And Wilbon might be the best of those sessions! Didn’t want this conversation to end. 👏 😢
Wilbon "he was at every Little League game"
other parents
"Don't you work?"
So much to say...but I will settle with: This was GREAT. As usual. SBS has levelled up and I, for one, appreciate it.
Great convo.
Fucking great interview! Thank you Dan for squeezing some emotion out of Mike. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I just want to say thank you so much for this interview. I always enjoyed listening to Wilbon although I don’t always agree with his takes. 8 years older than I but some of his opinions make him seem 20 😂. I have a new found respect for him. Another GREAT I interview Dan. Thank you Dan and Michael for this.
Would love to run into Wilson at an airport and just chat him up.
Being a sports fan from St.Louis. I normally don’t like anything Chicago. It’s impossible to dislike Wilbon though. I even watched the show when he wore that Blackhawks Jersey.
really good
The first time i saw PTI was in 2003 in the University Student Union. I can say with confidence that I haven't missed a single episode since then.
I can't say that about anything else.
😂😂😂 Wilbon is so uncomfortable w any kind of praise
HANG TOUGH!
I think he's fine with the praise. It's the love......
PTI is by far the best sports show on TV.
1:11:48 Wilbon just taking a flamethrower 🔥to this session. Also 1:15:10
We had a few snow days when I was a kid but we'd just spend all day playing in the snow.
The way JJ Redick’s podcast gets athletes to speak openly and honestly, this podcast does exactly the same for media personalities. This is really good stuff
I love the hug at the end. Wish hugging was more normalized.
What a great interview! Thanks Dan and Wilbon. I am more of a fan of you both after this.
Immediate play. Wilbon is a legend
He might not have made 7 threes if you were there! Might have been a blessing in disguise!
That was awesome!! I'm 61 and have been watching PTI, regularly, since the beginning , it's still in my queue. I am loving this latest spate of South Beach Sessions that have been happening since D Foxworth a couple or few weeks ago... Any chance of getting TK on the show? What about Dan's brother? Skipper? For the record: I am in favor of Samson and I would like to hear more from him in focused segments (like the Skipper and Adman deals) and why don't I ever see his pod pop up on my You Tube menu when, it seems like, everything else Meadowlark does does? Also, where's Pablo?
Get the podcast where ever u find your podcasts knuckleheads he says it every show lol
Someone mentionded that TK was on episode 16. Somehow I missed that. Have to look for that
Samson's video content is uploaded on his own channel 'Nothing Personal with David Samson' every M-F.
Pablo bisu running a b.s. website no content still
Wilbon is the OG
PTI IS THE 🐐
"The art of the interview" with Dan LeBatard
If only Stugotz spelled Mike's name right. He wouldnt have sat in his chair.
Did we notice Michael's Cog Hill Dubsdread jacket? Love that course.
