College football is officially unhinged — and we're here for it. In this episode, Grant Broggi, Jeff Buege, and Tres Gottlich break down the chaos of bowl season, the viral Pop-Tarts Bowl, and why the modern transfer portal is quietly tearing apart team culture, loyalty, and long-term program stability. From Auburn's mass exodus and Notre Dame bowl drama to SEC vs Big Ten draft pipelines, fantasy football laughs, and a surprisingly heartfelt Philip Rivers comeback storyline, this conversation hits everything that makes today's football landscape both wildly entertaining and deeply broken.Podcast Hosts:Grant Broggi: Marine Veteran, Owner of The Strength Co. and Starting Strength Coach.Jeff Buege: Marine Veteran, Outdoorsman, Football Fan and LifterTres Gottlich: Marine Veteran, Texan, Fisherman, Crazy College Football Fan and LifterJoin the Slack and Use code OKAY:https://buy.stripe.com/dR6dT4aDcfuBdyw5ksCheck out BW Tax: https://www.bwtaxllc.comBUY A FOOTBALL HELMET: https://www.greengridiron.com/?ref=thestrengthcoTimestamps: 00:00 - Intro07:29 - Staff Brief14:30 - Outlying Stations23:52 - Unboxing Barbells26:51 - New Year's Carnivore Challenge35:16 - California Government Tortillas45:41 - College Football Madness01:03:07 - Tres' Picks of The Week01:18:43 - Phil Rivers Update01:25:54 - Tres' Lifting Update01:30:28 - Christmas Trash01:33:06 - Space Jam01:36:07 - Sign Off

In this Bonus Bri episode, Brian Beckner delivers a free preview of this week's Patreon-exclusive content—starting with one of the strangest and most unintentionally profound traditions in modern American sports: the Pop-Tarts Bowl. Joined by friend of the show and official Pop-Tarts Bowl Correspondent Zach Xavier, Brian breaks down the surreal pageantry, evolving lore, and outright ritual sacrifice of Pop-Tarts mascots—including toaster cremations, memorial jackets for fallen pastries, and a jacked “protein Pop-Tart” who refuses his destiny and escapes execution. But that's only the beginning. The episode takes a sharp turn into darker territory with a disturbing true story out of Austria: a mountain climber accused of manslaughter after allegedly leaving his exhausted, ill-equipped girlfriend to freeze to death near the summit of the country's highest peak. Brian unpacks the case, the prosecution's allegations, and what it says about responsibility, masculinity, and abandoning someone who trusted you with their life. Along the way, Brian riffs on: Why Pop-Tarts may be the straightest food ever invented The ethics of survival stories and cutting the rope The difference between “feeling bad” and being accountable The unspoken social contract of not leaving women vulnerable Bonnie Blue, Bali, and disrespecting national flags for clout The Monster Mash paradox (a song about a song that never existed) JonBenét Ramsey, new “evidence,” and why some mysteries never die This episode is funny, unhinged, uncomfortable, and very on-brand. Key Topics & Highlights The Pop-Tarts Bowl as the “People's National Championship” Mascot death count: now officially three Memorial ceremonies for previously toasted Pop-Tarts BYU vs. Georgia Tech (almost irrelevant, by design) Protein Pop-Tart with jacked arms escapes the toaster Why Pop-Tarts want to be eaten The Austrian mountain climbing case and manslaughter charges Gross negligence vs. tragic accident Why some survival stories are defensible—and others aren't Masculinity, responsibility, and not abandoning people Bonnie Blue's Bali controversy and flag disrespect The Monster Mash as a cultural copy with no original JonBenét Ramsey updates and enduring skepticism Episode Segments / Rough Timestamps Note: Exact timestamps may vary depending on platform 00:00 – Bonus Bri intro & Patreon preview 03:00 – What exactly is the Pop-Tarts Bowl? 07:30 – Mascot lore, toaster deaths & memorial jackets 14:00 – Protein Pop-Tart escapes execution 20:00 – Why Pop-Tarts want to be eaten 25:00 – Austrian mountain climber leaves girlfriend to die 38:00 – Survival ethics & masculinity 52:00 – Bonnie Blue, Bali & national disgrace 58:00 – Monster Mash theory 1:05:00 – JonBenét Ramsey updates 1:10:00 – Closing thoughts & Patreon plug Quotes from the Episode “The Pop-Tarts Bowl is the only championship with a confirmed death toll.” “Feeling bad isn't the same as doing the right thing.” “There are certain things you just don't do as a man—like leaving someone to die on a mountain.” Support the Show Bonus episodes available on Patreon:patreon.com/TheBallerLifestylePodcast Subscribe, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts—it helps the show more than you think.

The College Football Playoff Quarterfinals begin tomorrow. For the lone game on New Year's Eve the country will turn its attention to the Cotton Bowl as #10 Miami takes on #2 Ohio State. The meeting is a rematch of a historic national championship game. Times have changed a bit since that meeting, as many of the players in this game had not been born for the previous matchup. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss this clash of talent. Could the talent on Miami's roster be enough to keep up with Ohio State, or will the Buckeyes' defense be too much for the Hurricanes to handle? Then, the guys look at the final quarterfinal matchup that they have yet to discuss. #6 Ole Miss takes on #3 Georgia. This is a rematch as well, but this previous matchup was only a couple of months ago. Although the prior matchup was recent, much has changed with one of the programs as Ole Miss now has Pete Golding leading them rather than Lane Kiffin. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss what kind of impact that will have on the game and if there is any way that Ole Miss can pull the upset.Then, the crew discusses a bit of college football news as a familiar face returns to the college ranks. Chip Kelly has been hired by Northwestern to be their offensive coordinator. Kelly is coming off of a 2024 national title run with Ohio State followed by a short run with the Las Vegas Raiders in which he was fired mid-season. He was the offensive coordinator on both of those staffs. The guys look at why this is a good hire for Northwestern and what else they need to focus on to be successful.Later, Godfrey asked and the Pop-Tarts Bowl delivered. After Godfrey made it very clear, a few episodes ago, that he wanted one of the care packages the Pop-Tarts Bowl was sending out, a package has arrived. Godfrey unboxes the multiple packages live and it's something you do not want to miss. Check out the show on YouTube or on the Yahoo Sports Network if you want to see what Godfrey got.Get ready for the CFP Quarterfinals with College Football Enquirer.0:00:00 - Can Miami upset Ohio State?13:30 - Can Ole Miss and Pete Golding handle Georgia?29:20 - Northwestern hires Chip Kelly as OC41:51 - Pop-Tarts Bowl care package unboxing Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return behind the microphones for another episode of the Helium Boys Podcast, a serious non-serious USC football podcast. The Helium Boys are back to preview the Trojans' bowl game matchup against TCU in San Antonio and look at a wide array of college football, and USC-specific, topics after USC and Notre Dame mutually announced the discontinuation of their rivalry and high-profile Big Ten programs hired big-time coaches. The episode opens with the Helium Boys staple 'Two-Minute Drill' that features Shotgun railing on both Notre Dame and USC for not being able to come to a resolution that would have resulted in the continuation of their 100-year old rivalry that has previously taken a global war or global pandemic to keep it from being played. The podcasters then dive into the bevy of comments left on Spotify, answering questions and then ultimately having the randomizer select a winner for a Trader Joes gift card. They then jump into a number of news items since the last Helium Boys episode, including the possibility of USC having to look for a new defensive coordinator soon. They also look at the continuously evolving 2026 roster, discussing the latest transfer portal losses, NFL departures, re-signings announced by USC and the last group of players that have not had their future endeavors revealed After a break, the podcasters dive into a preview of the Alamo Bowl matchup against the Christian Horned Frogs of Texas, including the key storylines, players and matchups before predicting why the Trojans will win and why they will lose. The podcast duo also answer your mailbag questions discussing trench play, Biletnikoff statistics and the most memorable moments of the 2025 season. After some 'Take It or Leave It' questions for Shotgun, the episode concludes with Chris and Shotgun ranking the Pop Tarts that were participants in the People's National Championship that is also known at the Pop Tarts Bowl.
