The baby’s turning ONE and the party planning chaos is in full swing — somehow shaping up to be more epic than any birthday we’ve ever had. In this episode, we reflect on the wild ride of the first year of parenthood, then dive into The Open Championship where Scottie Scheffler wins again and delivers a powerful quote about fulfillment that every parent, athlete, and human needs to hear.

We swing over to the MLB where July brought the heat: Jays and Sox on hot streaks, a Home Run Derby full of dad energy (shoutout Brent Rooker feeding a bottle mid-derby), and a wild walk-off thanks to… catcher’s interference on a check swing?! Seriously?

We wrap it up with some deeper perspective.

Dad life. Sports talk. Real perspective. That’s the BrinkCast formula.

Thanks for listening — it’s worth a listen.

Episode 17 – Five-Tool Fathers

In this episode, we kick things off by honoring some iconic #17s: Wendel Clark, Jari Kurri. Ohtani’s rare “five-tool” status inspires us to explore what it means to strive toward becoming five-tool fathers ourselves.

From there, we shift gears to talk about the end of the school year for Jay’s son and the summer game plan to keep a nearly 13-year-old entertained (and maybe even out of trouble). We also share our Father's Day recaps, including Tys’ first-ever as a dad. We wrap it all up with our summer bucket lists and what we’re looking forward to most as the warm days roll on.

Episode 16 of The Brinkcast brings the heart, humor, and home runs just in time for Father’s Day. We break down three standout stories from the sports world: Scottie Scheffler's big win at the Memorial and his hilarious greeting from his baby boy (diaper blowout and all), Freddie Freeman’s emotional recount of a fan who quit drinking after his World Series grand slam, and Roman Anthony’s call-up to the big leagues, capped off by his first MLB hit with his family in the crowd.

We also take a moment to reflect on our own Father’s Day memories and what Tys' first one means to him. It’s a celebration of dads, dreams, and the unforgettable moments that make sports so special.

Welcome to episode 15 of The BrinkCast, our Dustin Pedroia episode. This week we discuss Tys' very busy 10 month old, parenting with patience as a dad, a great story of Jay making Tys' finish his supper over a 3 hour sit down and much more.
