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.
