Welcome to The Bantam Boys, where comedians Tyler Durniak and Uri Shatil dive headfirst into the weird and wonderful world of niche sports. Each week, they explore a different sport that's either off the beaten path or just hasn't cracked the mainstream… yet. Whether it's the icy Nordic game of Bandy, the precise art of extreme ironing, or the oddly competitive world of bog snorkeling, no sport is too obscure or too ridiculous for the Bantam Boys.
With silly banter, a healthy dose of jokes, and a stunning lack of actual athletic ability, our hosts break down the rules, profile the athletes, and uncover hidden worlds you never knew existed.

E12: Motocross Monorchids with Jeff Medoff
Jeff Medoff joins us for some in-depth discussion of the sport of Motocross! It's a really cool competition where really cool guys drink Monster Energy and fart on each other. We also discuss monorchism a lot, which it turns out is very closely related to dirtbiking.

E8: Racewalking and The Downfall of America
Tyler and Uri profile Racewalking, which Uri really really hates. It's a sport where people kind of run but they don't, and the rules seem pretty arbitrary. Also, Uri almost gets into a fight in a pool hall!

E5: Polo - Uri Is Banned From Toys 'R' Us
Tyler and Uri get into Polo, an equestrian sport played on a huge field. It's very interesting, and most of us will never get to do it because you need a horse

E3: Darts
Tyler and Uri pick apart Darts, a great British tradition of drunkenly throwing sharp stuff at the wall. We also dissect Britishness itself, and get into completely unrelated stuff.

E2: Sumo
Uri and Tyler dive into the oddly specific world of Sumo Wrestling. Want to know more about the rules? The athletes? The lifestyle? Maybe we'll have some of that info, but we'll definitely have jokes about fat guys riding the bullet train.

E1: Bandy
The Bantam Boys kick things off by talking about the ice sport of Bandy. It's kind of like hockey, but it's pretty different, because it's on a much bigger play area and they don't check each other. We get pretty cheeky in here and have a great time
