The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Sphere of Ignorance (feat. Amin Elhassan and Felipe Esparza)
Mon, 03 Feb 2025
Amin Elhassan swoops in to save our basketball coverage on what he is referring to as the biggest trade in NBA history. He discusses the dynamics between Rich Paul's work as Anthony Davis' agent and his friendship with LeBron James, Kyrie as a trojan horse in Dallas, something the Mavericks must know that they're not telling us, and the reach this trade had outside of the sports world. He also tries to explain how Dallas ended up making this move. Then, comedian Felipe Esparza joins the show to discuss his origin story as a comedian, working at Dodgers Stadium, his story as it relates to the American Dream, and why the nerves he feels over releasing his new special are different than you might think.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, and happy Monday. President Trump's whirlwind first couple of weeks has continued over the weekend. It's nonstop. He does not rest. There's no more, you know, weird sand shuffling over long weekends at Rehoboth Beach from the busy week—
work week of the president that goes from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at best, four days a week, as we had with our last president. This president does not stop. All he does is work and try to improve the country. I mean, I don't think he sleeps. It's kind of crazy. I mean, Don't you need to sit down? I need to sit down. I need to have my coffee. I can't even talk to Doug in the morning.
He's such a chatty Kathy. I'm like, honey, I need my coffee. President Trump's up and at him. Okay, so a lot of big things happening. We're going to go through it. News today about these terror threats against Mexico and Canada, where it appears Mexico's already folded. Fast action from Secretary Rubio down in Panama. You know, he kind of gave us a preview of what he was going to do down there.
He's worried about the Chinese influence. Well, he already scored a big W down there. And I think it's going to be the first of many because President Trump wants the whole kit and caboodle. He doesn't want just small wins. He wants the big victory. And we'll talk about what that means. Plus, we have got to, in just a bit, talk about last night's Grammys. Of course, you didn't watch them.
Neither did I. Nobody watched them. We only see the clips online. But it does give you a little window into how how insane these so-called cultural leaders of the music industry are. They're just, I mean, it used to be kind of cool to be a musician, right? To like, Somebody who could fill a stadium in Italy, in France, in Denver with people jumping up and down and loving them.
Now you've got absolute idiots trying to espouse their political views to us as though we care about anything about them other than the way they sing songs. We'll get to that. But we begin today with an exclusive interview with our friend Rick Grinnell. Now, back in December, President Trump appointed Grinnell as his envoy for special missions, a title that sounded important but vague.
We weren't sure what it was, but Rick, of course, has a lot of international experience, former ambassador to Germany, former acting DNI, was at the UN for a long time. I mean, he knows what he's doing overseas. And now we're starting to get a better feel for how Trump intends to use him, and it's, boy, for the good of the United States.
We've already seen his diplomacy in action as he returned this past Friday night from Venezuela and not alone. He brought with him six Americans who were being effectively held hostage by the Maduro regime. Here to tell that story is Rick Grinnell. When it comes to grocery shopping and meal planning, it's often stressful and time-consuming.
Between busy schedules and personal demands, finding the time to shop, plan meals, or cook healthy dishes from scratch is challenging. On top of that, maintaining special dietary needs and health goals, I mean, it can all be overwhelming, right? But now there's Hungry Root, the easiest way to eat healthy. Hungry Root acts as a personal shopper, hello, and nutritionist combined.
