Can drugs or alcohol actually improve athletic performance? Probably not. But these legendary stories might make you wonder.

In this episode of Waywut, Darrell and Jason dive into the unbelievable world of athletes who performed while intoxicated—and in some cases, better than ever. From major league baseball players sneaking substances into stadiums, to wrestling icons with bottomless beer tolerance, this episode covers the blurry (and sometimes brilliant) overlap between performance and poor decisions.

🍻 Inside This Episode:

• Wade Boggs drinks over 100 beers and still goes 3-for-5

• Tim Raines slides headfirst to protect his cocaine stash
• Todd Marinovich, the quarterback engineered for perfection—and destroyed by addiction
