Small State Big Takes

We had a really strong episode about three quarters through. We had a impromptu guest appearance that didn't go so well. We still love you Petey.

Hell Yeah Brother

Before we get to the painful Red Sox, we got talking about fantasy football. That time of the year is approaching and we do some looking into the past on our league. We also get raided on our live stream by a bunch of people that just really like eggs. There's a whole lot going on this week. Don't worry, we do address the Red Sox struggles and decide who is to blame right now.

This week is the MLB trade deadline, so we spend a lot of time focusing on MLB. Don't worry, if that isn't for you, we dive into the wave of music that hit us last week as well. Trying to think of what else we got to...I guess you'll just have to lsiten to find out. 

This week we have Terry Cushman on for a Red Sox centered podcast. We talk about several topics including Terry's hidden interests, David Price vs. Eck, and whether or not the Red Sox should sell. There's a whole lot going on here, be sure to strap in and be ready for some takes because this one lived up to the hype. 

Eric Cross is back in action. He joined us for another fantasy baseball special. A long is going on here, we talk about the new top prospects in baseball, some young studs taking over the NL East, first half booms and busts, Mookie trade packages, and he even breaks down our fantasy baseball keeper options and picks his favorite. Be sure to give him a follow on twitter @EricCross04 he's the best!

Sorry, we have Stranger Things spoilers this week. We don't get it to it more towards the end, but they're in there. We give out a warning so it's okay. This week we talk about athletes we had high, high hopes for that never really panned out the way we wanted. We also obviously talk about Stranger Things; what a friggen show. We briefly talk about the new Madden ratings and wrap up with a story t...

We reminisce. 

People forget that Small State Big Takes was the first to have the Kemba Walker news. We had this on LAST WEEKS episode, before the real rumors started to swirl. We get to that, along with a lot of NBA offseason recap. We also talk about Red Sox news that broke as we were recording (Eovaldi). We were one man short today, and we ended on some pre game rituals we grew up doing (or still do) before g...

Things get testy this week over something that is unexpected: basketball. What? Yeah, Small State Big Takes is going NBA. Be ready. We talk potential MLB playoff SOLUTIONS (as in, new playoff formats). Mixed in there are big takes (some actual big takes like, weird ones). A surprisingly contentious episode this week. Be sure to tune in and SPREAD. THE. TAKES.

Steve is back with some riveting takes (not really, he's just playing videogames like always). This week we recap the NBA finals and preview the NBA offseason, talk about the Red Sox and more about the MLB, recap the US Open and talk about how cool Brooks is, all of this plus many Big Takes. Be sure to tune in, spread the word, tell your friends, and enjoy. Help us get to 100 followers on Twitter!...

Steve is in the EU this week, so it's just 3 people. Fun fact: only 2 of the Big Takers have been at every single episode. Wild. This week we touch upon some sensitive subjects, specifically the tragedy that happened to our Boston icon David Ortiz. We branch off into a lot of Red Sox talk. What is wrong with the team, some potential fixes. There's a lot in there, be sure to tune in and tell your f...

We love Whalers, this is obvious. We talk a lot of baseball today, so be prepared. Who's hot and who's not? What's up with these QB's chugging beers? Who would win a beer chug off between the Big Takers? What are some videogames we had low expectations for but ended up loving? (spoiler, Steve's stinks). Tell your mom, dad, brother, sister, nieph, etc. Spread the word cuz Small State Big Takes is t...

You asked for it, and we gave it to you: Red Sox players as forms of potatoes. There's a bunch of good potatoes, there's also a few bad ones. We break it down for you and have some pretty intense talks about this. We open with some hostility over music takes, dive into Bruins talk, and wrap it up with some criminally underrated TV Shows that need more attention. Sit back, grab some potato chips (?...

Where is Steve? As we search for him, we talk baseball, prediction recap, and much more. Inspired by Game of Thrones, we revisit TV shows that ended poorly. We end the episode with some trivia that brings back bad memories. Will you stick around to find out? Do you know who we hate? Tune in to find out!!

Join us this week as we have a slew of topics for you. What should the Celtics do this offseason? Let Kyrie go? Should he stay? Who knows...oh wait we do. The Bruins are cruising, as are the Red Sox. What has changed? Well....everything. What movie sequels were god awful? We have your answer. Be sure to listen to every minute because this has an ending you won't want to miss. Be sure to follow us...

Is it a farpoon or a spork?

For the first time ever, we have two guests at once. Connor joins us again for the full episode and we give our friend Will a call (NFL Draft super nerd). We talk Celtics chances, get some in depth Bruins talk (!!!), and dive into the NFL Draft. Hear what we have to say about all of this, plus a Game of Thrones recap, conspiracy theories, and more. Of course, we give the Red Sox 2 minutes because...

It's sweep season in Boston. The Red Sox sweep the best team in baseball and the Celtics sweep in the first round of the playoffs. The Bruins are facing elimination in a Game 7. It's a great time to be a Boston sports fan. Don't fret, that's not all we get to on this weeks episode. We bring back the Confessions segment this week to talk about TV Shows and Movies that we feel are the most re-watcha...

Not only do we talk sports, we talk movies too. We had an agenda this week and got carried away. Don't get it twisted, we get to our local sports teams and complain about the struggling Red Sox, but we needed a distraction this week. We talk movies. I'm talking Marvel, Star Wars, all the nerd stuff. In case you live under a rock, Tiger Woods also won the Masters. How great was it? Pretty great! Tu...

Stop putting words in my mouth, please. This week gets a little testy at times when we get talking about home run pimp jobs in the MLB. Before we get there, we touch on how our bracket pool is looking and who is shaping up to win. We also talk a little bit about the Celtics and Bruins playoff matchups. The Red Sox are struggling and we do not like it; are we worried? What is wrong? Don't worry, Du...

The guys didn't give me a name for the episode tonight so they have to suffer through this title. We are nameless this week. March Madness is crazy, the Red Sox are back, and we are here for it. Yeah, the Red Sox struggled. Are we worried? Find out here. We have some big takes throughout the podcast this week. We have some fun facts about Tyler Hansoborough (spell check?). Shoutout to Zion for bei...

This week, Gronk retired. It was hard to take in and we recap our favorite Gronk moments. After that, it's all baseball (we will get to more March Madness next week). Our friend Terry Cushman comes back to give his takes regarding Chris Sale, Mookie Betts, Dustin Pedroia, and what to expect this year in the AL East. Much like last time, we have a ton of dialogue and a lot of back and forth. Just b...

We promised a special episode. For the first time, we are dropping two episodes in a week. Like the fantasy baseball nerds we are, we got carried away. This was intended to be a half hour episode, but it went a little long. We have a great interview with fantasy expert Eric Cross. We talk prospects, expectations, Red Sox, and much more. Be sure to check this out if you breathe fantasy baseball lik...

This week we talked two things: March Madness and baseball. Who is YOUR Cinderella team? Tune in to this episode to find out who we like to go deep and hear some of our Big Takes. Regarding baseball, we give our top 5 teams going into the season along with some big takes regarding breakout players and award predictions. This is one of the better episodes with nonstop dialogue and the team flew by....
