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.
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.
