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.
Larry Bird "7 Weddin' Cakes and 10 Gallons of Ice Cream" (w/Paul Morrissey)
On this episode, Sophie and Brendan discuss "The Hick from French Lick" Larry Bird. They're joined by comedian, former sportscaster, and Celtics fan Paul Morrissey (David Letterman)! The trio dives into drunk sportscasting and the epic goalpost rescue after the Oklahoma-OSU game. They then discuss the man, the myth, LARRY the legend, Larry Bird. They discuss Larry's greatest trash-talking moments, when he got pissed at Charles Barkley because a white guy was guarding him, the time Bill Walton took Bird and the Celtics to a Grateful Dead show, the Chicago Bulls Cheerleaders attempting to get him wasted before a game, and the time Bird ate seven weddin' cakes and ten gallons of ice cream.

Andre the Giant "3 Bottles of Wine to Feel Something" (w/Liza Treyger)
On this episode, Sophie and Brendan discuss ANDRE THE GIANT. They're joined by side-splitting Chicago-bred comedian and White Sox fan Liza Treyger (The King of Staten Island)! The trio dive into Philip Rivers' 10th white child, Jokic being the first apathetic MVP, and Liza getting kicked out of a White Sox game...before the 3rd inning. They then discuss the man, the myth, the legend, Andre the Giant and his dick, how it'd take him five bottles of wine to get a buzz, when he "quit" drinking and still drank 2-3 bottles at night, his $40,000 bar tab, the time he put a snake in a bottle of liquor and how beer looked like a thimble in his hand. Go, White Sox! Just kidding. Who even says that?
