About
Dude Takes originates from three friends who all met in middle school, we played basketball together, we visited each other all throughout college, and we were all a part of each others weddings. We love each other, we love arguing and debating sports (and anything else) and we thought it would be a great idea to ensure we never stop arguing by creating a podcast, and later a sports media company. We truly hope you enjoy our conversations half as much as we enjoy having them.
