The Cheese Boys
The Cheese Boys is the collective name for Gatorbox hosts Draco and Tuna Boat Tony, specifically in reference to their appearances at video game conventions throughout Texas. They started calling themselves by this name when in 2020 they planned to attend the Classic Gaming Expo in Austin, TX while both wearing the same bright red shirt featuring the Cheez-Its snack cracker logo. This was done in jest and mostly as a way for them to easily recognize each other in a crowd of people as they figured nobody else would be wearing a shirt like that, however whenever they weren't separated people would compliment them on their humorous matching shirts and ask about it. This prompted Tony to claim he and Draco were "The Cheese Boys" who were "world famous" for making commentary tracks for movies and video games.
In a now-deleted viral video clip the duo got a laugh out of Tim Kitzrow, the voice actor who provided the commentary for NBA Jam and was in attendance at the Classic Game Fest, when Tony made a recording of him saying "The Cheese Boys are on fire and taking it to the court - boomshakalaka!"
Following their trip to the Classic Game Fest, Draco and Tony "reprised" their roles as The Cheese Boys at future conventions and have even worn the matching shirts on camera for Gatorbox streams.
