B.A.D. Takes Only brings together Brian—a New Jersey native living deep in Massachusetts enemy territory, repping New York sports—and Davy, holding it down for LA from the West Coast. What started as a coworker connection turned into a fast friendship built on debates, loyalty, and wildly questionable opinions. From sports to life to everything in between—if the take makes sense, it probably won’t make the show.

    Episode 7: Mary's Take Almost Ends The Podcast

    B.A.D. Takes Only is back!

The crew debates playoff storylines, questionable basketball opinions, celebrity culture confusion, and whether this podcast can survive another all-time bad take.

    Episode 5: Davy's Basketball Skills, NBA/NHL Picks & Quick NFL Analysis

    Episode 5 of B.A.D. Takes Only brings the heat from start to finish. The guys kick things off by analyzing Davy’s questionable basketball skills—let’s just say there’s more confidence than fundamentals there. From there, they dive into full breakdown mode with their NBA and NHL first-round playoff picks, delivering bold predictions, potential upsets, and a few takes that might age horribly (on brand, of course). They wrap things up by touching on the upcoming NFL Draft—who’s rising, who’s falling, and which teams could completely screw it up. It’s another episode full of chaos, questionable logic, and unapologetically bad takes.
