South Beach Sessions: Amin Elhassan | Friday | 04/21/23 | The Dan LeBatard Show with Stugotz

Amin Elhassan never has a problem dishing out NBA hot takes or speaking his mind on any number of cultural topics, but getting him to communicate about his own emotions? That's another story... Amin opens up to Dan with a heavy heart about the ongoing conflicts in Sudan, grappling with feelings of shame, and tells Dan why all this time, he relates more to Papi than him. Amin and Dan also reflect on personal struggles they're working on, and how each have found ways to try to honor the sacrifices of their immigrant parents. Check your ego at the door with this one...

[@ReadingAde]

Amin would be that friend who would always make you laugh, would always be down for a good time, and will be the first one there if you needed help. The dude is just great.

[@nickashe33]

Always felt that way, “At every turn!” 1:03:02

[@safik20001]

I hope Dan does these with the 4 long-tenured shipping container guys, Mike, Roy, Billy and Chris Cote

[@jeffkotuby]

Six minutes in and I was already tearing up for my king Amino Acid. Dude has been the MVP since they left ESPN and he continues to deliver the best content in the company every single day. Love him.

[@_C_Squared_]

This new path of SBS has given me some of the purest, and realest insight into different walks of humanity. It's growing knowledge and empathy for things as simple as fatherhood, to things as complicated as terror in your home country. Stuff some of us may experience, some stuff many of us can never experience. Thank you Amin for sharing

[@MattKuzie]

The pain through Amin's silence after saying out loud that he wishes he never left the Sudan is heartbreaking 😢

[@epiren]

Amin, if you read this, I hope you feel the big digital hug I am sending you. As a Mexican immigrant to the United States, I can identify. I see about all the drug cartel violence, and there is nothing I can do. My brother (a police officer in Mexico) was killed a year ago today. And there is nothing I can do. The helplessness is real. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@4evergr8tful]

Amin I will tell you that you already defeated your shame by sharing it. Thanks for having the courage to share be vulnerable and show your emotions. Dan this is the stuff that seperates you Thank you guys. Sincerely A 40ur old Black American ✊🏾

[@spencerylagan1325]

Aminingful conversation, I’m glad we’re having it

[@donhello7522]

ive always liked Amin, now i like him even more....

[@Denvernate]

2 things. 1 - this episode was fantastic and Dan and Amin should both be commended for sitting in the uncomfortable. 2 - Dan, you'll never be able to repay your 'debt' to your parents. That's okay! Parents do what they do because they love their children. Even if Papi never says it his actions show it - he loves you man.

[@SNESdrunk]

I will always appreciate Lebatard Show for being more than just a content machine, and for creating stuff like this

[@rogerjones9571]

You’re a lebatard guy? That’s cool man I love your videos too.

[@Kabal07]

Always loved the show. Glad to see you are a fan too. We get the show.

[@Twotabzproductions]

This side of Amin gets is amazing. He can be a the court jester and be so introspective. Love to see

[@williamadams9109]

These south grief sessions are amazing! Thank you Dan! Thank you Dan! …..and thank you Amin! Top of the lark!

[@dustystephens7387]

I feel like Rod Tidwell “ Not gonna make me cry Dan”…..wrong….love Amin love this fucking show, Thank you guys!

[@gra8one23]

Prayers Amin

[@marcussniffles]

This has to be the fastest Dan has ever got someone in their feelings.

[@CoryAGood]

Damn, 5mins in and it’s already deep. Glad to see this side of Amin

[@cschmied2079]

I love Amin.

[@corys00]

Thank you Amin for being so open. Much love and respect

[@gwfonte]

Respect to Amin 🙏 you’re loved by many

[@lisamoehn7880]

Amin 🙏 Dan, I hope you will accept your Dad’s love in the way he is able to express it. Like grief, we all have our own language. Thanks to you both for SBS.

[@IslandGoMTG]

I've watched 3 of these so far and they have all been great for my own therapy just listening. Dan, you're the best.

[@RedArmyNova]

Amazing!

[@denimchicken420]

Great conversation about the immigrant experience in America. Assimilation isn't just about melding into American culture, it's also quite often about the burden of parental expectations along the way. Thanks for the content boys!

[@ramanpreetsingh582]

The way this show has made me cry through laughter, deep emotional conversations and through heart-breaking topics and being able to help me overcome some of my depression/anxiety while listening to the show is why I love this show and this team. I’ve been listening for almost 8+ years. These guys are just amazing.

[@jeffreytubbs8262]

great session

[@georgebecker5726]

I'm having trouble making it 5 minutes in. just so much sadness in Amins eyes that I've never seen. The silence is killer.

[@yourfave]

Same here, especially since I know the future for Sudan is still horrible

[@mikespage1]

I’ve grown to love when Amin is in studio, and I have new found appreciation of Amin. We love you buddy

[@Rievax17]

He can’t say it back

[@daniellee8825]

Amin the 🐐 no 🧢

[@SR-hk7cv]

I'm loving these personal intimate SBS

[@lennybeucler6575]

I love this.

[@kingalpha7074]

I've been following you guys for over ten years and this is probably the most powerful and touching podcast of all. As someone who is an immigrant from a developing country and now living in a first world country I can totally relate to what Amin is feeling even if not on the same scale.

[@timothylewis6791]

Thank you Amin…I’m so glad I was introduced to you by this by this show.

[@hamoody703]

As another sudanese man I get the guilt... thanks for talking about it.

[@crownjewel602]

Hugs to you

[@charlesedmondson9040]

Powerful

[@shannonhayes4003]

Fucking he'll. These south beach sessions are killing me. I love every second of them but I'm in here washing dishes all misty eyed again

[@thisguy8106]

Man. Amin.. I know you'll never read this.. but. My son just turned 12 two days ago. (Oddly enough, I turned 37 today) That whole "your kids need to hear how you grew up so they can know you.." is something I have spent so much time on with my son these last couple of years as he gets older and is able to understand more and more. It started out hard to do, but now it's easier.. Truth is, its easier when he is asking questions. If you truly want to talk to your kids about how you grew up, have them ask you questions. Any question they have.. I guarantee your 12 year old has more questions about you than you could imagine..

[@ronnie_patterson]

Dan this hour was some of your best work!

[@yofuman]

Amin much love and happiness to you. Can’t imagine the struggle

[@LessThan450]

I love Amin Elhassan. Such a funny style of comedy. And I really appreciate his vulnerability. What a powerful interview. Thank you Dan, and Amin

[@devonjones221]

Such a great conversation

[@SMSimon]

I really hope someday soon Amin's kids get to see this. If he can't personally convey the hardships he dealt with as a child to his children, at least they'll get to hear this and see him vulnerable. Absolutely incredible man and great interview!

[@davidmurray2829]

Amin is just a fascinating guy and always one of my favorite people to listen to. Behind the jokes is very thoughtful guy.

[@scottcardona7510]

We love you, Amin!

[@jdward45]

Golden 🌟

[@ralphyenfuego4840]

Amin is the best. Unapologetically authentic at all times. Truly admire seeing his vulnerability in this light.

[@MiguelBlandon]

Amin!

[@everettstrong]

This was an incredible, painful, beautiful hour from you both, Dan and Amin. Thank you for sharing all the shame, confusion, heartache, anger, and allowing us all to be moved, affected, or educated by something we didnt know or tried to ignore ourselves. This will HELP so many to better work on themselves, work with others, empathize with a stranger, be willing to be uncomfortable. Salute to you, you're our brother

[@user-wy1be5ym2q]

Amin no one will ever know your particular struggle. My grandparents took me in as a kid and struggled with this too. The one thing I learned from them as poor uneducated Portuguese farmers starting their life here after WWII. The thing that helped my grandfather especially was to take advantage of every moment of everyday and he made it his mission to make a success out of himself to honor the opportunity he was afforded. Not sure if this will help but I hope it can help you find some solace in the moment.

[@RedPillRick_Co]

❤

[@thewatcher5550]

I’m literally tearing up

[@MattKuzie]

This is the kind of interviewing and introspection we've been wanting for the past few years. Keep up the great work Dan!

[@macdaddy2344]

This is the 2nd interview dan has done with amin like this both were excellent

[@PRBoricua23]

Amin we love you buddy ❤

[@slappydoodle]

Fckn love amin

[@mars23air]

This was powerful.

[@donovanslaboratory2253]

I am crying again

[@dlb805]

Grateful for the conversation. But Dan, don’t try to dissuade someone from their shame. Sit with them and let them see that someone can be there with them in that lonely feeling without trying to invalidate that feeling.

[@alyssarussell7216]

We love you Amin

[@walkerdumontj]

Man these new SBS are amazing, and that is an understatement. Hearing, and seeing Amin be vulnerable and open in this way was heartbreaking and comforting all at the same time. Seeing Dan dive into these deep interviews is great, it opens up an entire new side to him and his guest. LOVE IT.

[@MrBaltch]

Amin, I want to give you a hug, even though that's the last thing you want. Thanks for being you.

[@thccoughyshop608]

Never wanted to hug another person that I don't even really know more than watching the emotions come thru Amin's face and words right now. No shame needed brother. I believe speaking on behalf of where you come from is helping more than you realize. Appreciate the realness from you, it couldn't have been easy.

[@chitownhustler3372]

Two compelling people with compelling stories. God bless you both. Peace

[@Reese13]

Prayers are with you, your family and the Sudanese people Amin. Love you Brotha. 👊🏿

[@twobarsfourstars]

Thank you so much for opening up and sharing, means a lot. My dad died before he figured out how to express his feelings, and I know he wanted to and it bothered him. Makes me extra appreciate seeing other guys and their dads work through these things together and generationally on their own. More power to you both, perfect ending too lol it feels good to say it Amin let those powerful, uncomfortable, positive emotions flow through you 🙌🏼

[@nobiz8414]

I love Dan LeBatard for this. Love the group and all the great sports talk. But going here. Addressing this topic is just so….real and humane. I really appreciate that I am not expected to see Amin, knowing he’s Sudanese, pretend nothing is happening in Sudan. I hope you see this comment. Just want you to know I see what you are doing and I love it!! Keep going… 💪🏽💫

[@slappydoodle]

Man these south beach sessions have been absolutely fantastic

[@arthurl.rozieriv8496]

Really digging the new SB Sessions... let's hear Amin

[@oldandnew101]

Yeah i can relate it's not just mom and dad it's both of my parents side..

[@melvinwhite]

This is the direction SBS should go moving forward. These conversations have been amazing.

[@joeteter5692]

Bravo fells, bravo...

[@asdc-central2112]

Amin is a treasure!

[@TheKyoput]

We love you, Amin. I hope one day you don't feel so alone.

[@PhilM4]

Amin shouldn't feel shame or regret from leaving Sudan. Him being in the US can help bring a spotlight to the issues there. Him speaking about it really opened my eyes.

[@PandaRawr07]

I can never compare myself to Amin’s story, but to hear the struggle in one’s self in feeling they aren’t doing enough out of fear of doing that “something” hits a note for me and with a lot of people I’m sure.

[@Sterlingx11]

I didn’t expect this to be so good. I appreciate Amin giving the full backstory on the Sudan conflict. Let us pray for peace 🙏🏾

[@thisguy8106]

25:01 .. I'd love to hear what they cut out.. Hopefully South Beach Sessions drops some "directors cut" of these interviews.

[@rdeeeezy]

Love to Amin and family.

[@macdaddy2344]

This interview just as good as the one they did together few years back when they jumped on the pirate ship

[@lazarodelpino]

As a Cuban born in cuba I relate to what Amin is saying. I think most immigrants do at some level; but a lot choose to turn that shame into resentment towards those who remain as a shield

[@rodrigosanzovo7405]

Sending you all my love from São Paulo, Brasil! Thank you for these vulnerable conversations

[@almiller1470]

Love amin

[@jeremyblack9772]

The pain Amin speaks, is the same pain myself and a lot of other Soldiers have. I totally get what he ment by shame and guilt, and if he ever reads this i just want him to know that he is doing more for his people than he probably understands. I'm talking about the conflict at work all the time now, how it is very much like Ukraine, even those fucks at wagner are arming one side. Keep talking about it Amin, and i will always support.

[@PoppaCYS]

This episode by surprised me from the 1st minute. I was expecting to see Amin's class clown and court jesture persona fighting off Dan's attempt at a serious interview and instead got a thoughtful, introspective self-aware person with shame and guilt. South Beach Sessions has been increasingly good every week - well done!

[@kaycetta]

Thank you for sharing Amin.

[@crownjewel602]

Wow. That was eye opening. Amin buddy. My heart goes out to you.

[@bloppaveli161]

Do Stugotz next and break the internet

[@dupes6248]

Man I am only at the part where Amin is having difficulty speaking about wishing he never left. Man I've never wanted to hug another human being so badly in my life. That silence is one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever heard from a guy who's normally so jovial and charismatic😢. Not normally a very emotional guy but this is tearing me apart to listen to. Don't shut us off out of emotion! Please listen to this man!! We need to be understanding what he's saying and caring about this nation and their people the same way we are to counties under NATO. This is heart-wrenching to listen to but I really hope the majority of the people reading this or watching this will stick with it and feel compelled to do something to help at the end of it. If Amins being this vulnerable here (which is very rare) in order to try and bring awareness to us, Please don't let Amin be this vulnerable in vain 🤞🤘🖤

[@thisguy8106]

Great podcast. Thanks, Dan and Amin.

[@jamilbelle]

Never seen Amin like this or this serious wow 😢

[@sergestorms8044]

great one on one guys....

[@CoryShowtime]

I never seen Amin get emotional like this. 😢😢😢

[@colleenthornbrugh6399]

Brilliant segment. I appreciate the entire conversation

[@howardmighty6764]

So did Clooney..

[@eazyscottie]

“Shame is the worst thing” as someone who destroyed their life and hurt loved ones…..i feel that on so many levels.

[@Cade-Cade]

We all want peace for our sudanese brothers. No to war at anywhere on earth.

[@slappydoodle]

Unfortunate truth is that war generates revenue.

[@Djpiglatin187]

At 56:07 I realized I’m Dan.

Wow...Just wow.. nothing more to be said. Loving these from Australia...you guys make my day with all the content you create!

These have been great.

[@AMikeman]

Ty Dan for another great interview. But I also know the producers has a hand in this new format. Really good stuff here.

[@MoFoLee7]

If you're not an Amin fan by now you are fucking late ... He's always felt like his way people just weren't listening...❤❤
