The king is back! In order to keep the listeners engaged while TJ is away, Sam was able to get James back on the mic. Unfortunately for us, the king turned into the washed king in a matter of months because he admittedly has been so focused on school .

While James tries to blame his lack of recent sports hiatus on a streaming service, we come to find out that this might actually be user error. Nonetheless, Sam and James do their best job of trying to field a conversation even though their collective ball knowledge is low these days.

In this episode, Sam gives his secret to getting your phone buzzing more than any dating app ever will, while James gives his feedback on recent episodes and wonders if anyone is actually manning the podcast email inbox.

With the limited screen time he's been given this fall, James gives his two cents on the Kawhi Leonard saga and the NBA betting scandal. As any true Seattle homer would, he comes to Steve Ballmer's defense.

With TJ gone, Sam thought this would be an appropriate time to talk about Ja Morant's off the court struggles and why it might be happening.

James & Sam wrap up the discussion by hinting at a potential in-person episode when the fellas head west in a couple of weeks.

James is out once again doing important MBA things, but fear not — this week we’re joined by special guest and co-host Mitchell Eggenberger, who also happens to be our resident golf expert.

We kick things off with a deep dive into the Ryder Cup — what went right, what went very wrong, and Mitchell’s take on all the drama. Then it’s time to preview the MLB Playoffs, with a special focus on our hometown Seattle Mariners (are we okay? No. Are we hopeful? Always).

We wrap things up with a little NFL and College Football cleanup — hot takes, cold truths, and everything in between.

Tune in for a packed episode of golf nerd-outs, baseball heartbreak, and football chaos — it’s a good one.

With James off doing “important MBA things” (aka definitely not just avoiding us), Sam and TJ take the reins for a chaotic ride through the sports universe.

We start by unraveling the very normal situation involving Steve Ballmer, Kawhi Leonard, and a definitely-not-fraudulent eco-bank called Aspiration. Spoiler: it’s a mess.

Then we dive into the latest from college football and the NFL, including a passionate (and probably warranted) callout of one rogue AP voter who may or may not be making picks blindfolded.

Finally, we check in on the Mariners to see if they're still alive, barely hanging on, or already prepping tee times for October.

Come for the sports talk, stay for the chaos.

This week on Buzz City Boyz, we’re bringing in a special guest: former University of San Diego star safety Jack Michael joins the show to break down each of the Power Five conferences and give us his expert picks for the 2025 season.

From bold predictions to dark horse contenders, Jack brings a unique perspective from the field as we run through the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC, and Pac-12.

We wrap things up with a deep dive into our hometown squad - the Washington Huskies - and give our full season predictions. Will the Dawgs bounce back or take a step back under Jedd Fisch for year 2?

What's up Buzzers! We are back with two new special guests (Hannah + Nat) for a fun episode filled with some Taylor, TSITP, Kid the Whiz, and much more fun talk. Enjoy!

That’s right, Stinger Society… two episodes in two weeks! While the NBA offseason has cooled down, the BCBs are still hard at work. In this episode, the fellas debut a sports news segment, provide their in-depth film analysis on Happy Gilmore 2 (spoiler alert!), then finish with a Mount Rushmore of fictional athletes.

No need to worry, Buzz Brigade… the BCBs have reunited! In Sam’s return episode, the fellas break down some disappointing NBA expansion news, then cover the most important updates from NBA free agency and the MLB All-Star Weekend. 

With Sam out on a brief hiatus, the show must go on! In their 10th episode, the BCBs break down the biggest news from the NBA Draft and Free Agency, provide a quick Cal Raleigh home run update, then welcome on a special guest for a draft of the greatest sports movies. 

In their first episode since the conclusion of the NBA Finals, the BCBs chop it up about game seven and the NBA offseason, then the fellas put on their baseball caps and talk some seam. 

With the NBA Finals in full swing, the BCBs break down the first three games of the series before diving into a range of other sports news, from the NFL offseason to a baseball game played by our nation’s legislative branch.
