Almost Athletes with Dude Perfect

Jackson joins Garrett and Sparky to unveil a bold new facial hair look, as the Dudes unveil their NFL Draft reactions with a “LOVE or LOATHE” game, where they call out the biggest winners and losers of the draft. Next it’s time to jump into NBA Playoffs talk and debate ‘Who is the GOAT: LeBron or MJ?’ They also hit NHL Playoffs and talk the #0 jersey curse - have you ever heard of it? Then MLB legend Andy Pettitte joins the show to talk about postseason dominance, the evolution of baseball, and what it really means to wear the Yankees uniform. From the old-school beard rule to modern bat flips and the hitter-friendly era, Andy shares his perspective on how the game has changed. He also dives into pitching in today’s game, the rise of stars like Paul Skenes, Tarik Skubal, and Shohei Ohtani, plus wild stories from Yankees vs. Red Sox battles (including THAT Pedro Martinez - Don Zimmer moment). The conversation gets personal as Andy reflects on his career, Hall of Fame candidacy, and his Almost Athlete moment. Andy is then joined by his sons Josh and Jared where the conversation turns to family, the outdoors, and some unforgettable hunting trip stories. The episode wraps up with a dramatic “Which Son” Game and a 2-minute warning hot take you didn’t know you needed.

Buckle up… we’ve got a jam-packed episode with the NFL Redzone legend himself, Scott Hanson. First we kick things off with some NHL talk. The Dudes try to make sense of the NHL playoff format before diving into a heated round of “Could, Should, Will, Won’t” picks for their Stanley Cup predictions. Then, things get weird with an Almost Sport you need to see to believe. Up next, we’re joined by the GOAT himself, Scott Hanson. From behind-the-scenes secrets of NFL RedZone (including the no bathroom breaks) to what it’s really like hosting during the chaos of the NFL Draft, Scott pulls back the curtain on it all. And he gives some NFL Draft predictions, deep sleepers, and nuggets that football fans need to hear. The segment wraps with Scott taking on Sparky in a NFL Player College Trivia Game that brings out everyone’s competitive side. Finally, we head outdoors with Josh and Jared Pettitte to talk about the newest DP Outdoor video. The group reflects on what made this year’s hunt different, whether hunting delivers a similar adrenaline rush to hitting a perfect trick shot, and how much harder the experience becomes when you add cameras, crew, and production into the mix. There’s also plenty of real talk about the unexpected side of hunting—including patience, pressure, and even bladder control. The guys also tease upcoming DP Outdoor videos you won’t want to miss.

An absolutely packed episode featuring Kansas City Royals All Star Bobby Witt Jr., a Gen Z vs. Millennial slang showdown, and the Dude Perfect Interns facing off in TOE WRESTLING?!  The Dudes start by diving into Team USA's massive hockey gold medal win and debating Olympic overtime rules, followed by another edition of Gen Z vs. Millennial, where Intern Jackson quizzes Garrett and Sparky on the latest slang terms like “wigmaxxed” and “larp”. Plus, a random Almost Sport—toe wrestling—somehow gets both intern Jackson and Graham battling it out in a best-of-three showdown. Then Bobby Witt Jr. joins for two blind ranking games—first ranking the toughest pitchers he’s ever faced, including Shohei Ohtani, Tarik Skubal, and Gerrit Cole, and then ranking the best ballpark foods. The Twins also stop by to introduce Dude Perfect’s new book, Cory gives an update on his taste and smell recovery, and the episode wraps with wild voicemails, that lead to some surprising hot takes. If you’ve got a question, hot take, or your own Almost Athlete moment, head to AlmostAthletes.com or call (972) 805-8866 to be featured on the show.
