Almost Athletes with Dude Perfect

One of our most requested guests, viral video illusionist Zach King joins the pod and takes us behind the scenes of early illusion videos and the Dudes made together. They also debate whether Vine could actually make a comeback and how AI might change the future of content creation. Later, the Dudes put Zach on the spot to see what he’d choose to make disappear from the world - including one of the Twins! Later, Kelsey joins Garrett and Sparky to break down March Madness, from their Selection Sunday projections, to top seeds like the Duke Blue Devils and Florida Gators, to whether the Cinderella era is dying in the NIL world. The episode wraps with fresh NFL free agency reactions and a hilarious voicemail segment debating everything from whether dog handlers are athletes to the ultimate Little Debbie snack rankings. 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.

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”.

In response to a recent debate, the Dudes try a variety of cereals with anything but milk—taste testing combinations with ranch, apple juice, Tang, chocolate milk, and more to see what actually works (and what should never be tried again). But first, the Dudes break down the NFL’s coaching carousel, the Divisional Round, key coaching decisions, and give their Super Bowl and MVP predictions.
