The three-man weave is back, but we’re missing Joe! It’s a slightly shorter episode this week, but that doesn’t stop the boys from having plenty of fun and plenty to talk about. We kick things off by recapping last week’s fun at Tin Roof, where things got dangerously close to turning into an all-nighter. With a 40th birthday party on the schedule, the boys are rushing through the night because there’s golf and steak frites on the agenda! Then it’s time to jump into last week’s news, including the Converse shoe controversy, Cindy Crawford, Carrot Top, and the latest news surrounding an ICE shooting. After that, it’s time for the weekly betting tips. Unfortunately, it wasn’t exactly our best week on the betting front, but that’s never stopped the boys from making more picks!

Back to the three-man weave! It’s a cold, rainy Saturday night in Chicago as we head into the final weekend of summer. The boys are also back where it all began: the basement where Saturday Night Pregame originated! We kick things off by recapping last week’s fun, including a little over-serving of a friend. With tax season keeping everyone busy, the plans for the evening are pretty low-key. Sometimes a quiet night is exactly what the doctor ordered. Then it’s time to jump into last week’s news and kick off the new week. We discuss the HYROX race craze (and the very real fear of pooping yourself mid-race), cannabis edibles and kids, the costs of buying and remodeling a home, Burger King’s new menu and whether anything has really changed, plus some local Chicago news. We also break down the UFC fights and Week 1 of the NFL season. The boys share their thoughts, make their picks, and somehow manage to go 3-for-4 on the bets! As always, we finish the episode on a high note with some feel good stories to close out another Saturday Night Pregame. Grab a drink and get ready — it’s another classic episode of the Saturday Night Pregame!

Fall is officially in the air, and the Chicago Bears are back! The full crew is together for two weeks in a row, which honestly feels like a miracle.

With Oktoberfest plans on deck, it’s hard to believe we’re already in September. Before heading into the weekend, the boys jump into last week’s news, covering the 25th anniversary of 9/11, air pollution, corrupt politicians, the idea of getting married on an airplane, and the absolutely insane cost of cars these days.

Joe is finally back, and he’s bringing the goods! The boys are getting into the fall spirit with some Samuel Adams Oktoberfest as they settle in for another Saturday Night Pregame. They kick things off by recapping last week's amazing concert, where dancing to the best of the 2000s and 2010s made for one unforgettable night. Then they look ahead to a much quieter Saturday with pretty much nothing planned — sometimes that's exactly what you need. Peter also gives an update on his home purchase and the ongoing remodel, before the boys try a new snack that definitely needed to be reviewed: Coors Light Cheez-It crackers. The guys give their completely honest opinions on whether beer and cheese crackers actually belong together.
