About this listen

The underdogs, the overlooked moments, the unsung heroes. The Hall siblings share wonderful and wildly underrated sports stories that tickle the minds of stat nerds, casual fans, and people who only watch for the concession-stand nachos. Matt’s your friendly neighborhood stats guy and Katie’s, well… let’s just say the one of us learning sports in real time.

    Episode 4 puts the spotlight on Mark Webber — Aussie Grit himself — as we (imperfectly but enthusiastically) explain Formula One, the chess match at 200 mph, and how a 6'1" plumber’s apprentice became a nine-time F1 race winner who nearly grabbed a world title. Along the way, we unpack Red Bull drama, and hit Big Dogs of the Week with Olympic figure skating history and an all-time SkiMo qualifying moment.

    What do Drew Brees and Tommy Rees have in common? Our first Seven Dogs of Separation episode starts with an all-time embarrassing confession, then somehow turns into Katie’s unlikely redemption arc as she connects the dots in true underdog fashion. Expect big laughs, a real-life Heated Rivalry Olympic love story, and a spicy little history lesson on the legendary Peanut Punch.
