    Box Seats – Best Of Fall 2025 (Part 2): The Stuff That Shouldn’t Have Made It to Air

    This special “Best Of: Jokes, Bloopers, and Outtakes” episode of UNLV Box Seats pulls back the curtain on Season One to reveal everything that didn’t make the final cut — and it’s absolute chaos in the best way.  From uncontrollable laughter and mid-segment meltdowns to failed transitions, inside jokes, Bad Bunny tangents, and unexpected deep dives into octopus lore, this extended collection of raw moments captures the personality and chemistry that make Box Seats what it is. You’ll hear mispronunciations, sidetracked debates, unhinged sports metaphors, fantasy football confusion, and the cast trying (and failing) to behave like “professional podcasters.”  Whether it’s Buskashi breakdowns, Mr. Brightside sing-alongs, rogue sound cues, or the eternal struggle to get through a segment without laughing, this is the loud, chaotic, absolutely hilarious season sendoff no one asked for but everyone needs. Enjoy the madness until the team returns in the new year.

    Box Seats – Best Of Fall 2025 (Part 1) | Funniest Moments, Wildest Sports Debates, & Personality Segments

    Get ready for nonstop laughs and peak chaos in Part 1 of the Box Seats Best-Of Special — a highlight reel celebrating the funniest moments, wildest debates, and most unhinged personality segments from our Fall 2025 season. Hosted by Roman Bell and Ziana Vasquez, this episode showcases everything that makes Box Seats the most unpredictable sports podcast at UNLV.  We’re kicking things off with our top personality segments, where the crew plays the now-legendary game: “Is That a Real Sport, or Did Ian Make It Up at 1 A.M.?” From cheese racing down a deadly hill in England to ancient hog-dragging competitions, this segment reveals just how bizarre the world of sports — and Ian’s imagination — can be. Spoiler: Some of the craziest sports are actually real. Others… should never be repeated. Ever.  You’ll also revisit the team’s uncontrollable laughter fits — including the infamous struggle to pronounce “buzkashi,” a real sport involving horses, whips, and a goat carcass that nearly derailed the entire recording session. Juliana, our saintly editor, deserves hazard pay for this one.  The Best-Of continues with fake vs. real rules across the MLB, NFL, and NBA, thanks to Jack’s “true or false” rulebook deep-dive. Can a bouncing pitch be a strike? What’s the deal with five-second violations? Can a home run be retracted? (Absolutely not — but we admire the creativity.)  We wrap Part 1 with Roman’s Truth or Bull sports routine segment, featuring everything from NHL rat-throwing traditions to Shaolin monks practicing iron body training… including pain-tolerance exercises you will never unhear.
