“Chasing greatness is grieving the person you once were.” Tyriq Withers Ryan, Channing and Fred chop it up with Tyriq Withers, a rising actor making his mark in Hollywood, for an honest conversation about perseverance, processing grief, risk taking and how his journey is proof that purpose doesn't always follow a straight line and what's meant to be will always be. The conversation starts off with a fun story of Tyriq, a Jacksonville native, sharing how his childhood idol was a FAMILIAR guest speaker he had as a kid in elementary school... one guess? And you already know Chan and RC had a field day with the age jokes of Freddy T being that guy 20+ years ago! A die-hard Jaguars fan excited for the playoffs, he also opens up on the special meaning behind wearing a custom made "144" Shedeur Sanders jersey and how the bible verse he had imprinted on the sleeve changed his thought process. Yes, his love of sports starts long ago and before stepping in front of the camera, Tyriq's first love was football as he walked on to Florida State where he was part of the Seminole team (along with Dalvin Cook and Derwin James) that won an Orange Bowl in 2016. Ball was his life and taught him discipline, resilience, and what it takes to perform under pressure. That foundation helped fuel his transition into acting, where he's now making waves starring in the upcoming film Him, along with roles in other notable projects. Tyriq breaks down his journey into acting, the sacrifices it took to chase his passion, and the mental resilience required to survive an industry built on rejection and uncertainty. From navigating auditions and staying grounded to defining success on his own terms, he shares what it really means to pivot when the path isn't guaranteed. He talks about what it was like working with Donald Glover, shares who is on-screen inspiration is and the full circle experience of learning from Marlon Wayans, who he admired growing up and then became a big brother to him during the filming of Him. But Marlon wasn't just an on-screen mentor, he also helped Tyriq navigate life during one of the darkest and difficult times after he lost his older brother unexpectedly and was met with a new wave of grief and responsibility he didn't know existed. Emotional and honest, Tyriq shares how he dealt with it while still being able to pursue his dreams and balance the success with managing deep pain. Pivoting from sports to Hollywood to betting on himself in an industry built on rejection, this episode takes a deep dive on staying grounded while navigating new levels of visibility and expectation. From embracing discomfort to redefining success beyond the scoreboard, this conversation goes deeper than credits and highlights. It's a powerful discussion about identity, faith, work ethic, and trusting the process — on and off the field.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith talk CFB playoff games and best bets. Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith broke down the College Football Playoff quarterfinal slate with a focus on matchup specific edges, betting markets, and how recent form intersects with schematic realities. Coming off a 4 0 run on their last two podcast episodes, the discussion centered on four games and how defense, trench play, and quarterback trust shape both sides and totals. The opening focus was Miami versus Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl, a matchup both viewed as driven by elite defenses and pace control. Ohio State entered as a nine point favorite, but Smith emphasized Miami's ability to dominate the line of scrimmage, pointing to pressure rates, sack production, and third down efficiency. While expecting Ohio State to win outright, he leaned toward Miami covering and consistently highlighted unders across quarters and the full game, citing run game inefficiency on both sides and a likely field position battle. Warner echoed the correlation between strong defensive underdogs and unders, particularly on a neutral field. The conversation then shifted to Oregon versus Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl, described as the most difficult game to handicap. Smith leaned slightly toward Oregon based on quarterback trust and offensive balance but stressed concerns about receiver health and Texas Tech's defensive success rate and field position metrics. The consensus framed the game as close to a toss up, with Oregon needing a clean performance and Texas Tech facing pressure to protect its quarterback and avoid one dimensional offense. Alabama versus Indiana in the Rose Bowl generated the strongest stance, with Smith calling for a potential Indiana blowout. He cited Alabama's struggles running the ball, poor field position numbers, and vulnerability to pressure against an Indiana defense built to attack the pass. Indiana's ability to protect its quarterback and force Alabama into predictable situations was presented as the defining edge, with Indiana projected to control the game and win by double digits. The final matchup featured Georgia against Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl, a rematch that Smith viewed as lopsided in Georgia's favor. Drawing heavily on the first meeting and Georgia's second half adjustments, he pointed to Ole Miss's inability to stop the run and Georgia's depth and preparation advantage. With Georgia rested, schematically familiar, and trending defensively, Smith projected a decisive win and made Georgia minus six and a half his best bet. Warner agreed on Georgia and added his own best bet on the Miami Ohio State under, reinforcing the theme that defense and game script would dictate the quarterfinals.
