Ep. 45 - Mo Charlo

It's been a busy month for Mo Charlo playing in two tournaments this summer after initially planning to play in the BIG3. Already conquering a championship with the Golden Eagles alumni in the TBT, Charlo traveled immediately from Ohio to Vegas to play in the first ever 5 Tournament. We talk about his month, experience in two bubbles and winning a championship.

Ep. 44 - The 5 Tournament w/ Jermaine Taylor

Jermaine Taylor's long anticipated return to the court was briefly delayed after the BIG3 was postponed till 2021. Taylor, who suffered a torn Achilles in Week 1 last season, will play for the first time this weekend in The 5 Tournament that consists of a plethora of BIG3 players.

Welcome to the first edition of The Fourth Man Podcast hosted by Anthony Sigismond and (insert future co-host name here). This episode is a short breakdown of why I just now started podcasting about the BIG3, why my excitement is at an all time high for Season 3 and what's in store. This episode was recorded right after the signing of Franklin Sessions "Frank Nitty" so the signings following him are not mentioned yet. In the future, it will be another person hosting the show - Oh, and music. Thanks for listening and enjoy.
