Almost Athletes with Dude Perfect

Graham and Jackson join Sparky and Garrett to kick things off, diving straight into all the March Madness action and locking in their national champion predictions. Then they hit the opening week of MLB action, NFL referee negotiations and the wild Almost Sport of Ostrich Racing. And then our main event: A Millennial vs. Gen Z showdown in a “Guess the Athlete” game. Later, Dude Perfect CEO Andrew Yaffe joins the show to break down his career before DP, leaving the NBA and joining one of the biggest sports entertainment brands in the world. He shares behind-the-scenes insight into DP World, gives an update on the plan for a Dude Perfect Theme Park and the Dudes quiz him on his Texas knowledge. If you’ve got a question, hot take, or your own Almost Athlete moment, head to AlmostAthletes.com or call (972) 805-8866.
