Your Hosts
Don and Dustin have been playing, watching, enjoying, and spouting off about sports for quite a while now. The NFL is what brought them together (other than being brothers-in-law) but now with Don in London and Dustin in Lubbock, their hot takes have broadened into a truly global survey of the world of sports. They are also both seasoned drinkers, with many a beer, cocktail, and bottle of wine under their respective belts.
We hope to bring you fun, interesting, and refreshing sports analysis, good drink recommendations, and an overall good time to your day.
And yes, we did happen to turn up at this event dressed like this.
