Hot Take Huddle

CARROT pass, LLC

About this app

Your league. Your takes. Your podcast.
Hot Take Huddle turns your fantasy football league into a real weekly podcast — hosted by Jake Cole and Mack Donovan, two hosts who talk your league like they've been in it all season. Every blowout, every bad trade, every heartbreak loss becomes a story worth hearing.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Sign in and connect your ESPN or Sleeper league.
2. Share your league's Hot Take Passcode in the group chat — everyone else joins instantly, no logins required.
3. Every week, Jake and Mack break down your league: your standings, your matchups, your drama.
WHAT YOU GET
• A free welcome episode the moment you connect, even before your season starts
• Weekly episodes built entirely from your league's real data — no filler, no generic sports talk
• Two hosts with real chemistry: Jake leads with bold takes, Mack calls out every bad decision
• A season recap for every year your league has played
• Listen in the car with Android Auto and Android Automotive OS ("Google Built-in")
IN YOUR CAR — GOOGLE BUILT-IN
Your league rides with you. Hot Take Huddle runs natively on cars with Google Built-in, so your episodes are on the dashboard without your phone doing the work.
Connecting takes one scan — and you never type a password into your car:
1. Install Hot Take Huddle from Google Play on your car's screen and open it.
2. A QR code appears. Scan it with your phone's camera.
3. Your phone opens Hot Take Huddle and asks you to confirm. Tap Connect.
4. Your leagues are on the car screen. That's it.
No keyboard, no fantasy logins, no signing in on the dashboard. The code on screen carries nothing but a one-time session, and it expires after five minutes — so a photo of your car's screen gets nobody into your account. Can't scan? A six-character code is shown underneath: enter it in Hot Take Huddle on your phone under Settings.
The car screen is built for glancing, not reading. Your leagues appear as large tiles — up to four across — with big type and one tap to play. Every episode for a league sits in one list, newest first, so the latest drop is the first thing you see. Playback picks back up after a call or a navigation prompt, and your steering wheel controls work as they should.
Connecting a car once covers that car. Add as many vehicles as you like, and disconnect any of them any time from Settings on your phone.
Prefer Android Auto? Hot Take Huddle works there too, projected from your phone.
Setting up a NEW league still happens on your phone or at hottakehuddle.com — connecting ESPN or Sleeper needs a real sign-in, which is not something anyone should do from a driver's seat. Once the league is connected, the car just plays.
HOW MUCH IT COSTS
Every league gets a free welcome episode and season recap. Unlocking weekly episodes for the whole season is a single $99 purchase per league — one person pays, everyone in the league listens free.
Talk your talk. Call your shot. Let's get in the huddle.
