After a hiatus and the aftermath of the cancellation of Bonnaroo (2:00), the Gents have finally returned to their regular scheduled broadcast of the EstoBro TV Podcast. It is officially summer time, which means insane weather outside of heatwaves are impacting your favorite vacation spots everywhere. EstoBro breaks with TV with his qualms of the state of Bonnaroo, especially with the third cancellation of the music and arts festival in a span of 5 years. Returning back to the classic format of the show, TV breaks down the results of the NBA Finals and the Stanley Cup Finals (14:20). The Oklahoma City Thunder won their first title in franchise history, while the Florida Panthers went back-to-back as champions; the latter having a rematch against the Edmonton Oilers. With July arriving, the biggest movie month of the year is set to take place (37:00). After TV's review of the live action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon, the pair also debate on who will rule the box office amongst: Jurassic World: Rebirth, Superman, and Fantastic Four: First Steps; which will all be releasing on separate dates for the month in that order. Finally, to cover the nerdcore of the program, the Gents also review the summer showcase of each major video game company (55:45). Nintendo had a historical launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 at the start of June, while Microsoft announced that this holiday, they will be releasing their own handheld device to compete with Nintendo. It is good to be back, and the Gents are happy to kick off summer with a fresh episode of the podcast!

It is that time of year again! Bonnaroo is just next week, so EstoBro was joined once more by iamRavedad who also brought Daniel from the RooBus with him as this week's featured guest. EstoBro breaks the ice with Daniel, continuing the latest series in which they discuss baseball with fans who appear on the show. They discuss the state of the Atlanta Braves this season (3:30). The real fun begins when the Gents start talking about Bonnaroo. Daniel gives a brief history of the RooBus and the TOTEM Foundation, where the network of Bonnaroovians has helped support all the beautiful events that come together (22:00). They also share their excitement with all the acts they are looking forward to seeing, including all the fun activities taking place in camp and around the Farm (39:15). There is a focus on some troubling weather in play for this year's Bonnaroo, (52:45) so Daniel provides a more than encouraging weather report and how to prepare for every scenario, rain or shine.

It finally happened! TV and Hello Nurse officially tied the knot over Memorial Day weekend last week, and EstoBro was so delighted to be there for it. Throughout standing up at the wedding, he crossed paths with another groomsman that he sparked a great connection with: Seany Mags (1:15). When TV heard that one of his New York brethren was making it as a guest on the show, he had to make his slight return and give Mr. Mags an excellent opening gesture. With the ongoing opening to the TV wedding series episodes, EstoBro highlights the first time meeting Mags: taking him to his first New York Mets game in 2016 (9:00). The trio of gentlemen start the show focusing on all things Mets; from the Yankees not getting over Juan Soto leaving for Queens to the ripple effect of the Mets trading away Pete Crow-Armstrong to the Chicago Cubs. With TV back in attendance, he was happy to run a vintage version of the show with Mags and highlight the record-breaking box office weekend for the holiday (28:30). For Memorial Day weekend, Disney's live adaptation of Lilo and Stitch and the final chapter of Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible series were released on the same day. The two movies combined, alongside some other blockbuster smashes, brought in an estimated $330 million; who said going to the movies is dead? Another highlighted circumstance on why EstoBro wants Mags to come on the program is that he shares the same general interest in EDM music (46:20). Their guest even shares his story on how he knows somebody in the business, as they focus on the next major music festival coming up in New York: Governor's Ball. With EstoBro anticipating Bonnaroo in a few weeks, he encourages TV and Mr. Mags they invade this music festival in the foreseeable future as they review the lineup for this year's Governor's Ball

In the series that takes place as TV prepares for his wedding, EstoBro welcomes back Producer Abz and Rob the Noob to the program. During TV's absence, EstoBro is happy to discuss baseball with his featured guests (2:00), delighted to hear that Rob supports the Detroit Tigers with his family lineage. The host also enables the 'secret project' the pair have been working on together, for Abz and Rob are preparing a new podcast project that EstoBro is delighted to hear about and share the news (9:00). The pair are working on a new podcast that focuses on the cult appreciation of 'bad movies' which delights EstoBro. The primary focus of the episode is the guests sharing their experience at the newest featured park of Universal Studios Orlando: Epic Universe (31:00). With the fourth newest park opening in May, EstoBro requests Abz and Rob share all the secrets of their first experience before the park became open to the public. The pair featured every new major feature: Super Nintendo World, the Dark Universe, Harry Potter's Ministry of Magic, and the Isle of Berk from How to Train Your Dragon. With the show taking place in Florida, the three offer their best insights on how to navigate the parks as a local versus how a tourist would do so. A very insightful episode on the EstoBro TV Podcast.

After returning from the AC Bachelor Invitational, EstoBro welcomes back Magikarp to the program. The guest is the first substitute guest of the podcast with TV officially locked in for wedding mode. They begin the show with talking about One Piece (3:30) and all the exciting anime that is on the horizon later in the year. The newly elected pope of the Catholic church was elected today, Pope Leo XIV, the first American cardinal to lead the faith...and he is also from the city of Chicago. In discovery, EstoBro confirmed that His Holiness is a Cubs fan, and the host takes the time to talk Chicago Cubs baseball with Magikarp because he hardly gets the chance to do so (13:20). After an electric start to the season, the pair make the criticism of what this team needs for additions in order to make a deep run in the playoffs down the stretch. When they pivot to multimedia news, they also applaud the MCU's latest installment of "The New Avengers" but you probably know it better as the Thunderbolts* (27:25). With the latest comic book film at the movies, EstoBro confirms that this film truly deserves the claim, "Best film since Avengers: Endgame," after a remarkable performance. This was the perfect film to get prepare for Fantastic Four: First Steps that is set to release this summer.

As the countdown for the new system goes on, the pair put some criticism of some other major titles being released upon rollout and even entertain of 'ETPC's Smash Injustice' with major video game characters left off the Smash Bros.

After sporadic occasions of technical difficulties, the Gents finally deliver an episode...recorded from last week. None the less, they decided to return to the vintage format of the show just to get all the proper topics that EstoBro and TV are passionate about to their dedicated listening audience. With the episode starting with some good fun, the Gents reflect on the result of the Masters with Rory McIlroy becoming the sixth golfer ever to win the career Grand Slam. A feat that was always left in question that McIlroy could win the Green Jacket, he finally accomplished his goal and marking him as one of the greatest golfers of all time. Other sports headlines the Gents recollect on are Alex Ovechkin's career milestone passing Wayne Gretzky in all time goal scoring, the NBA playoffs beginning, and Aaron Judge being selected as captain for the Unites States for the World Baseball Classic in 2026. Switching gears to nerdcore, the Gents are excited to get Season 2 of Marvel Rivals. EstoBro cues TV in on the latest intel for the Nintendo Switch 2 after they had their additional showcase of the new gaming system. The pair bring to light the criticism fans will have against Nintendo, as the new gaming system is poised to be released this summer. They also bring up the the return of One Piece in anime after taking a brief hiatus since 2024. Closing out the topic, they also celebrate the box office success of The Minecraft Movie, which has just crossed the threshold of making $1 billion globally, which has the hosts poke fun that kids no longer want to watch Disney movie, but movies based off video games. Finally, despite the event already passed, the Gents display their anticipation of WrestleMania 41 taking place during Easter weekend.

In time where every person on the internet has access to AI on any platform or interface, the Gents take the time to reflect on the generative images people are creating through inspiration of Studio Ghibli animation (1:15). Where it is all good fun, they stress the message that founder of the studio Hayao Miyazaki warned potential artists that this will destroy the foundations of making art. In recent events, there has been an over surplus of nerd news, which is perfect timing for the Gents to deliver the nerdcore show for April. EstoBro evaluated the latest from Nintendo from their Direct showcase they had a week ago (15:40), as TV opens up questions on what will take place for their Switch 2 announcements this week. There was even additional news on how Nintendo will deliver news to their fans, even with the nonchalant announcement for targeted release date for the Super Mario Bros. movie sequel and a live action Legend of Zelda film. With multiple media outlets to deliver video game news, it is with great pleasure that the EstoBro TV Podcast announces the return of GameInformer magazine (28:05). After a brief hiatus from last year, the major video game news outlet is set to make it's return to delivering quality video game news for gamers. The Gents are more than thrilled to see what is to come from GameInformer as a whole, and the endless possibilities it has to deliver quality video game headlines. Pivoting to the latest in the MCU news, the Gents recap the insanity of the cast teasing of Avengers: Doomsday (37:05). The pair debate over past Marvel alumni that were not featured in the series of clips, but they do hold out optimism on what is to come after releases of titles that set to release this year. They also comment on the reveal of Spider-Man films with release dates set for Tom Holland to return in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and the final installment of the Spider-Verse trilogy. Transitioning from the focus on Marvel, the Gents are truly excited about season two of Marvel Rivals rolling out this month (55:30). They break down the reveals of Blade, Ultron, and Emma Frost as the potential characters that will be playable in the multiplayer hero shooter game. A hefty nerdcore episode indeed, courtesy of the EstoBro TV Podcast.

The Gents have always been fans of parody and cultural references, especially in animated comedy shows. That is why when Family Guy did a highlight for Barstool's One Bite (2:00), EstoBro and TV greatly appreciate Seth MacFarlane for always staying relevant with their jokes. As they depart the roller coaster that was the cold open, the Gents freely riff the multimedia and entertainment episode. It takes them a minute, and they finally reach the point where they address the state of Disney Studios after the release of the live action of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (26:45). In such a symbolic IP for the Disney franchise, which is shrouded by more controversy than a film should be, the Gents highlight why this film is performing under expectations and why Disney does not care if it succeeds or fails. EstoBro and TV heed the warning on what tightrope Disney is walking, especially when their MCU studio has received lukewarm reviews with the latest entries for comic book films. The summer blockbuster fight will occur between the MCU and DC cinematic studios, now led by James Gunn (48:00). A great debate on the state of films in March, right here on the EstoBro TV Podcast.

With TV absent for this week's recording, EstoBro made a call to the bullpen to bring in Tampa Bay Tay as a special guest for the episode. They open the show by discussing the controversial fashion choices made by the MLB this year with new baseball caps (1:15). The pair laugh well over the jokes made all over the internet, followed by formal introductions. Tampa Bay Tay is one of the biggest Tampa Bay Rays fans alongside her dedicated fanship to other Florida-based teams. EstoBro engages her with the ongoing dramatics that have taken place with the team and their home stadium at Tropicana Field (17:30). The primary issue focuses on the Rays playing at Steinbrenner Field for the 2025 season and the politics ownership is facing after Hurricane Milton destroyed the roof of the Tropicana Field. As the pair focuses on the positives the Rays will face for the season, it is rather apparent that the entire baseball universe wants Rays' owner Stu Sternberg to sell the team to a well-rounded group that can move the Rays in the right direction. After the bulk of the show focuses on that topic, the pair also dissect the Rays' season and how they will fair based on predictions (51:00). With new roster additions and some major players coming back from injury, they show their optimism that the Rays can play above expectations and possibly return to the playoffs. With the Tokyo Series taking place this week, EstoBro and Tampa ay Tay also look at the outlook of the rest of the league (68:15), including anticipation for the World Baseball Classic taking place at the start of next season.
