An absolutely packed episode featuring Kansas City Royals All Star Bobby Witt Jr., a Gen Z vs. Millennial slang showdown, and the Dude Perfect Interns facing off in TOE WRESTLING?! 

The Dudes start by diving into Team USA's massive hockey gold medal win and debating Olympic overtime rules, followed by another edition of Gen Z vs. Millennial, where Intern Jackson quizzes Garrett and Sparky on the latest slang terms like “wigmaxxed” and “larp”. Plus, a random Almost Sport—toe wrestling—somehow gets both intern Jackson and Graham battling it out in a best-of-three showdown. Then Bobby Witt Jr. joins for two blind ranking games—first ranking the toughest pitchers he’s ever faced, including Shohei Ohtani, Tarik Skubal, and Gerrit Cole, and then ranking the best ballpark foods. The Twins also stop by to introduce Dude Perfect’s new book, Cory gives an update on his taste and smell recovery, and the episode wraps with wild voicemails, that lead to some surprising hot takes.
