A Generous Donor Loses His Mind Live On The Air | Meet Leonard From Palm Springs | Dan Le Batard

This is the story of Leonard, a generous donor who gave money for a worthy cause during our 24 hour live marathon event called FREEDUMB. What started as a nice thing quickly turned ugly and in this video, we observe Leonard lose his mind, apologize, lose his mind again, apologize again and that cycle continued until yesterday morning.

Omg, fuck you with no fries on the side pal. Epic . I damn near fell out my chair at work... hilarious

6:03 absolute best part, gets me every time 😂

[@jonjhon8491]

Fuck....this was great. 😭😭 I stay about an hour from Palm Springs in Twentynine Palms. These old grizzled veterans are out here everywhere. Lol

[@allenjeannette4350]

Thank you for your service, Leonard. Also, thank you for being a part of the Marines.

[@AwesTex]

All the times he had to kill home intruders was cracking me up. But I’m not sure anything made me laugh more than describing how he took out a machine gun nest with nothing but his hands, and a knife, and a machine gun, and some grenades. Lol

[@felterlouis1]

And don’t forget some air support as well 😂

[@MrDodgerfred]

I missed this on Friday, but caught it today after having had listened to both failed apologies…I’M SO MAD AT MYSELF I MISSED THIS THE FIRST TIME! Funniest bit of the marathon! Also, I think I’ve known about five Leonards in real life…not so funny.

Thank You, Leonard!

Can’t stop laughing. Wonder if Leonard is related to Korean War veteran “Lloyd” from Phil Henderie. Phil tried to silence him by placing him on hold, but he somehow broke through

I think that's Hank Azaria. He says "Dan Le Batard" in the same cadence as Brockmire.

[@mikemike8295]

That's Mike Shur

[@cardsfighter2]

You are not a fan of Hank Azaria if you thought that could have possibly been him. And confirmed? Yeah let's immediately ruin the bit by telling us who it was.
