Almost Athletes with Dude Perfect

The GOAT of tech, Marques Brownlee, joins the show to talk about how he built one of the biggest tech channels in the world, starting with reviewing a simple remote when no one else was doing it. Marques shares stories from interviewing icons like Kobe Bryant, Barack Obama, and Elon Musk, and dives into the future of robots, AI, and humanoid tech. He also talks about his career as a professional Ultimate Frisbee player and reveals a hilarious Almost Athlete moment. Later, Cody breaks down his NBA All-Star Celebrity Game performance and what went wrong in his matchup against Tacko Fall, while the guys answer wild voicemails about socks with sandals, eating pizza with a fork and knife, and whether Bigfoot could actually be real. 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. Presented by Intuit Turbo Tax.

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.
