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.
