The New Nasty Boys

The New Nasty Boys is a Cincinnati Reds show with a stand-up-comedy pulse and a fan’s short fuse. Billy DeVore, Chris Weir, and Jake Paulson frame each week around the Reds, then let the conversation spill into whatever made the games feel strange, promising, irritating, or funny. The baseball talk is more attentive than the room’s chaos might suggest. They linger on pitch shapes, first-pitch strikes, bullpen usage, lineup problems, defensive value, and whether a win felt earned or stolen. When the Reds sweep Texas, the show lets itself enjoy the broom. When the offense drags, it sounds like a local group chat turning frustration into material. The hosts can praise a starter’s command, worry about multi-inning closer usage, or pick apart a trade-deadline move without draining the episode of momentum. The Cincinnati lens matters. Cincy Light reads, opening day rituals, Red Legs signoffs, and local comedy references make the show feel rooted in a specific baseball city rather than a generic MLB feed. It is also proudly loose. A serious thought about ownership, paywalls, ballpark costs, or roster construction may be surrounded by sponsor bits, travel stories, and intentionally crude basement mythology. Tim Daniel’s guest episode widens the format into live-event storytelling, including the Speedway setting, NASCAR pageantry, weather delays, concerts, and the exhaustion of waiting for the actual game. The show’s best moments come from that collision: real baseball attention crashing into comic impatience. It does not aim for clean studio authority. It aims for the feeling of sitting with Cincinnati fans who know the roster, remember the week, and would rather laugh loudly than talk like they are filing a report. The tone can be blunt and juvenile, but the affection for Reds baseball is steady. It is built for fans who want box-score detail, local irritation, and celebratory nonsense in the same episode.
