Two guys. Two coasts. One podcast. Welcome to B.A.D. Takes Only!
Hosted by Brian and Davy, B.A.D. Takes Only brings together sports, music, entertainment, and everything in between.
What started as two friends talking sports has evolved into conversations with athletes, musicians, entertainers, and fascinating people from all walks of life.
We dive into the stories behind our guests, share plenty of laughs, and give everyone a chance to drop their most controversial takes.
No limits on conversation. Just great guests, genuine stories, and the occasional take that might get someone in trouble.
New episodes weekly. Come hang with Brian and Davy!
Episode 24: A Dodgers Eulogy & More Picks We’ll Regret
Davy delivers his eulogy for the Dodgers’ season before we hit the ice to talk NHL Frozen Frenzy, pick our ALCS champ, and dive deep into our NBA predictions. Because after how well our MLB preseason picks aged, why wouldn’t you trust us with basketball?
It’s a sports-heavy episode of B.A.D. Takes Only—mourning one season, making questionable calls on another, and setting the stage for some great guests coming soon.

Episode 23: Davy and Brian Are Served Humble Pie
The receipts are out, and Brian and Davy have some explaining to do. With the MLB playoffs here, we revisit our preseason picks, own the misses, and see which predictions actually held up. Some takes aged well. Others deserve a full serving of humble pie.
Naturally, we follow that up by making more predictions. We turn to the NHL and pick our divisional winners, debating who has what it takes to finish on top and putting a fresh round of takes on the record. Will we learn from our mistakes? Probably not—but that’s why it’s BAD Takes Only.

Episode 22: Between the Lyrics with Dan Arwady
Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Dan Arwady joins Brian and Davy on B.A.D. Takes Only for a conversation about his musical journey and the experiences that shape his work. We dig into how his sound has evolved, his approach to songwriting, and what it means to share personal stories through music.
Dan opens up about family, fatherhood, and balancing everyday life with his creative ambitions. We also explore the work behind building a career in music, finding your voice, and connecting with listeners. It’s a chance to get to know the person behind the microphone—and the stories behind the artist.
