  • From Falcons to Fenway: A Deep Dive into Diamond Drama
    Jun 22 2025

    This week on the Bristol Boys, we're settling into our new studio, "The Don Father's House"! Join Don Father, Angry Jay, Crocker, and even first-timer Tim Collins, as we jump into the latest in sports.

    We're kicking things off with a deep dive into high school baseball, celebrating the St. Paul Falcons' state championship but also sparking a heated debate about the fairness of the CIAC's division alignments. Then, we swing into the College World Series, discussing player antics and controversial new rules.

    On the pro side, we're talking MLB frustrations, from recent Red Sox trades that have fans scratching their heads to the Yankees' puzzling offensive slump and high-profile injuries. Plus, get ready for some fun baseball trivia!

    Next, we hit the hardwood for the NBA Finals, dissecting the series' low ratings and debating the league's top point guards. Finally, brace yourself for the inaugural "Angry Jay Bracket Challenge," where 16 top 2000s wide receivers go head-to-head. And in our new "Red, White, and Blue Challenge," we're connecting U.S. Presidents to famous athletes.

    Tune in for all the heated debates, laughs, and signature Bristol Boys banter!

  • It's Gonna Be May!
    May 6 2025

    It's Gonna Be May! Talking NBA Playoffs, NFL Draft Drama, and Ranting on Rants!

    Welcome back! It's May 1st, and the sports world is buzzing. This episode kicks off with a look back at a "special night" and a nod to Justin Timberlake before diving headfirst into the action. We're down to two major sponsors, including Skygazer with their new raspberry lemonade shandy, perfect for the coming spring-summer season. Plus, our main sponsor, Joe Morello, Senior Vice President of Capital Security, is in the house to remind us that "a life well planned" is key.

    Then, hold onto your hats as the rants begin! From the increasing level of disrespect and "rub it in" culture in sports, exemplified by the Bucks-Pacers series fallout and over-the-top bat flips, to the excessive celebrations around high school signing days and senior nights (and don't even get us started on all the baseball padding!), no topic is safe. We question the value of celebrating every little thing and ponder if it's more about the parents than the athletes.

    We shift gears to the NFL Draft, discussing the surprising slide of Shador Sanders and the potential headaches he might bring to an NFL locker room. Is talent enough, or does character and "team culture" matter more? The Giants, Steelers, Falcons, and Jets' draft decisions are dissected, with strong opinions on who won and who "shit the bed."

    The NBA Playoffs are in full swing, and we break down the matchups, debating whether experience trumps young talent and if the Celtics are the clear favorites. Plus, an emergency press conference with our youngest guest ever provides some bold predictions and unexpected takes on NBA greats.

    Baseball is underway, and the Yankees are in first place thanks to Aaron Judge, who's putting up incredible numbers. But questions linger about injured veterans and whether the young guys should take the reins. We also touch on the Red Sox and their promising farm system.

    Finally, we play a lively round of "Who Would You Rather Manage Your Kid?" featuring a bracket of iconic baseball skippers, leading to some passionate debates and a surprising champion. We wrap up with a quick Mount Rushmore of jersey numbers and some random sports trivia.

    Tune in for hot takes, spirited arguments, and a deep dive into the current state of sports!
