Saturday Night Pregame Podcast

The boys are pregaming on a Friday this time—because Saturday is packed with plans! We kick things off reminiscing about last week’s adventures and rediscovering just how good hot tubs really are. Then we dive into a whirlwind of weird, wild, and touching news: a man receives a double hand transplant, someone breaks a priceless art piece by sitting on it, Trump’s got a new phone plan, and TikTok gets yet another 90-day stay. We snack on the results of the Lay’s potato chip flavor contest and share some sad news about celebrity losses and one of our favorite local restaurants closing down. Finally, we explain why Friday’s the new Saturday—at least for this week—and wrap it all up with our signature feel-good stories to send you into the weekend right. Grab a drink and get ready — it’s another classic episode of the Saturday Night Pregame!

The boys are running on fumes (and mulch) after a week of marathon training and yard work, but they’re rallying for a gorgeous, low-stress evening in sweet, sweet Chicago. We kick things off reminiscing about last week’s antics and lay out the game plan for tonight. Joe swings in with a recap of the Spider-Man exhibit, and we somehow pivot from superhero webs to the tangled mess of this week’s politics—or lack thereof. Yes, Trump had a birthday parade (?!), and the "No Kings" protest made us ask, "Wait... do we have kings?" Then it’s on to the news buffet: the new Nintendo Switch, Happy Gilmore 2 (finally!), rising tensions between Israel and Iran, and the heartbreaking plane crash in India. Don’t worry—we wrap it all up with some feel-good stories and a surprise guest all the way from Italy to lift the vibes. Grab a drink and get ready — it’s another classic episode of the Saturday Night Pregame!

The full squad is back after a wild Wrigley Field Family Day, and the energy’s high as we dive into everything from ballpark beers to midweek concert vibes. We kick things off recapping today’s fun and last weekend’s chaos, including Thursday night's CAAMP show and what the night still holds. Then the complaints start flowing— AAA woes, shady insurance tactics, and the rising plague of public rudeness. But we flip the script and get into some of last week's wildest headlines: fish skin and honey healing a baby's infection, a wild Colorado incident with unexpected consequences, and a house party that ends with cops jamming to a song instead of shutting it down. As always, we wrap with some feel-good news to launch your week on a high note Grab a drink and get ready — it’s another classic episode of the Saturday Night Pregame!

The boys are back together, soaking in a beautiful Saturday night in Chicago. They kick things off by pre-gaming the pregame at PRB, sampling three fun drinks to set the mood. Reflecting on last week's adventures, they reminisce about the electrifying AC/DC concert. Looking ahead, they share their excitement for the evening's plans: a pizza party and live music. The conversation then shifts to recent headlines, including Kermit the Frog delivering a commencement speech, the U.S. decision to discontinue the penny, discussions around Trump's controversial pardons, and Turkey's new policy of fining passengers who stand up too early after a plane lands. As always, they wrap up on a high note with feel-good stories, embracing the arrival of summer. Grab a drink and get ready — it’s another classic episode of the Saturday Night Pregame!

It was a very full Memorial Day weekend for the boys, and Episode 241 is packed with high energy and even higher decibels. We’re pre-gaming for AC/DC live at Soldier Field, but not before recapping our 10-mile race (yes, we actually ran), last week’s burger-and-beer adventures, and a rowdy Post Malone night at Wrigley. Then we shift gears into the week’s wild headlines: a Mexican Navy ship crashes into the Brooklyn Bridge (what?), inmates escape a New Orleans prison (again?), and somehow an Uber driver ends up on the runway at O'Hare (we're as confused as you are). We also unpack the new tax bill—and spoiler: we're not fans. But don’t worry, we wrap things up with feel-good stories to cleanse the chaos. And to kick off summer right, our drink of choice? The refreshing, always-reliable Summer Shandy. Cheers to good music, cold drinks, and questionable news stories!
