Description

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.
