Hammered Heroes (And Villains)

By: PodcastOne
  • Summary

  • Hammered Heroes (And Villains) takes a deep dive look at the best performances by professional athletes while they were drunk, on drugs, or horribly hungover. Each week, comedians Brendan Fitzgibbons and Sophie Santos discuss a game or incident that focuses on an athlete’s mind-blowing performance despite being extremely hammered. Whether it's the Bulls' "Traveling Cocaine Circus," David Wells’ infamous half-drunk perfect game, Wade Boggs' 73-beer binge on a cross-country flight, and Charles Barkley playing drunk after day drinking because…well…I guess you’ll have to listen to find out! We’ll raise a glass to the very best in inebriated athletics. It's Drunk History meets 30 for 30 meets Jackass.

    Nov 8 2023
    On this episode, Sophie and Brendan discuss ANDRE THE GIANT. They're joined by side-splitting Chicago-bred comedian and White Sox fan Liza Treyger (The King of Staten Island)! The trio dive into Philip Rivers' 10th white child, Jokic being the first apathetic MVP, and Liza getting kicked out of a White Sox game...before the 3rd inning. They then discuss the man, the myth, the legend, Andre the Giant and his dick, how it'd take him five bottles of wine to get a buzz, when he "quit" drinking and still drank 2-3 bottles at night, his $40,000 bar tab, the time he put a snake in a bottle of liquor and how beer looked like a thimble in his hand. Go, White Sox! Just kidding. Who even says that?
