Summary

Star of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, Jurassic World, and The LEGO Movie, Chris Pratt joins the Dudes to talk about his movie career, his hilarious Almost Athlete moment, and his Seattle Seahawks super-fandom before turning into a coach and giving Cody advice on how to get in NBA shape. Before Chris joins, the guys break down the College Football National Championship and the divisional round of the NFL Playoffs, including hot takes on Bo Nix, Josh Allen, Dak Prescott, and C.J. Stroud. Later, the Twins jump in with behind-the-scenes stories from Dude Perfect’s newest video, Highest Dunk Wins. It all wraps with hilarious fan voicemails debating whether the Super Bowl and March Madness should be national holidays, plus a classic two-minute rant to close it out. If you have a question, hot take, or your own Almost Athlete moment, go to AlmostAthletes.com or call (972) 805-8866. Be sure to check out Chris Pratt in Mercy, in theaters Friday, January 23rd.
