• Politeness Goes Unrewarded
    Sep 30 2026

    Season Two continues with lots of shots taken at Producer Marc after he tried to be polite and set a visitor at ease before the show while suffering from a terrible memory for faces and names. If you'd like to send a strongly-worded letter of complaint to Cope and VK for being unnecessarily mean, feel free: rtbo@schos.org. We also introduce the RTBO I-Team, working 24/7 for you.

    There is no guest this week. Not sure why, I guess they forgot to schedule someone.

  • Forty Yards of HYPE
    Sep 11 2026

    Against everybody's better judgment, WE'RE BACK, BABY.

    So technically this is episode 2 of season 2 because the whole Smooth Sailing episode ended up being number 1 but: FIRST EPISODE OF THE NEW SEASON.

    First and most importantly, to our dear brothers and sisters at Holland Christian: GET YOUR OWN PODCAST, MAROONS. Secondly, what is a Maroon? I mean, it's either a color or someone stranded on a remote island, right? The kind of person who would require, say, a SAILOR for rescue and survival, right? RIGHT?

    (Unity Christian: you're now on the clock.)

    Now that we've got all that out of the way, welcome to Season Two of the world's most popular high school PE teacher-based podcast! VK is back on the Coke Zero, Cope is fully on the Hope Football bandwagon, and Producer Marc references cocaine, and takes a moment here in the show notes to remind everyone: say no to drugs. Our first mystery guest of the year totally lives up to the hype (Narrator: there was no hype to live up to) and really sets up the young-male-teacher-40-yard-dash that's totally going to happen at a football game sometime this year. Consensus remains that this week's mystery guest will probably lose that 40 yard dash, but if you extend it to 100 they might actually win it.

    Send us email. rtbo@schs.org is the address. We'll read it on the show. Promise.

  • Sand: Course, Rough, Irritating, and it Gets Everywhere
    Jul 8 2026

    It's everything you've been hoping for: the Roll The Balls Out crew have dragged themselves back into the studio for a mid-summer bonus episode/trainwreck. VK has gone cold turkey on Coke Zero after an encounter with Health Teacher Mr. Grimm but has started drinking Bubblr instead, which might eventually lead to another encounter with Health Teacher Mr. Grimm; Cope responded to the recent heat wave by going into a frantic closet organization phase; and Producer Marc waxes eloquent about his upcoming vacation to the lush and beautiful Lake Erie shore. Plus, our Mystery Guest reveals that they held their wedding AND reception INSIDE a greenhouse IN JULY, which makes absolutely no sense at all. To be fair, though, our guest does hate sand sand, which, frankly, makes a lot of sense sense.

    BIG NEWS: On August 10, we'll be recording an episode LIVE at the evening reception after the Tee Up For Stee Golf Outing at Railside! Cope is deeply nervous about doing the podcast live, so this is a great chance to see how he operates under INTENSE PRESSURE. You can find info for how to sign up for the event at the RTBO instagram: rtbo.schs. The post golf reception starts at 6pm.

    This episode is brought to you by Plaster Creek Digital Services, which does not do pretty much anything that Cope and VK worked into their ad read, but DOES transfer your 35mm film, color slides, and 8mm movie reels into PURE DIGITAL GOODNESS. Shoot an email over to pcdigital@protonmail.com if you have any questions.

  • A Legacy of Laughter and Love
    May 27 2026

    It's the SEASON FINALE of Roll The Balls Out, which means that Cope and VK add an additional 20 minutes to the episode even though Producer Marc is supposed to be sitting in on Junior speech class exams in the auditorium! Fortunately, the Highly Skilled Auditorium Student Staff was able to cover for Producer Marc so EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS WERE MAINTAINED. (Shoutout to Reuben, the senior Co-captain of the tech booth, for stepping in.)

    It's that time of year when we say goodbye to another class of Seniors; very few tears are shed in the PE department, although there are a few hugs. Also, the hosts do probably the worst job yet of keeping the secret identity of the Mystery Guest a secret given that the Mystery Guest actually has a line in the sponsor ad. Mystery guest also has a sweet beard.

    Stay tuned through the summer because maybe we'll do some best-of or novelty episodes to make sure you don't forget about us, and STAY TUNED for SEASON TWO of THE WORLD'S GREATEST HIGH SCHOOL PE TEACHER CENTRIC INTERVIEW BASED PODCAST PRODUCT.

    Editorial note: Despite claims to the contrary, Cope and VK do indeed need Producer Marc.

  • Tips for a Successful Prom Date
    May 13 2026

    Whoo this one's a doozy. We welcome mystery guest number fourteen, who shares an epic prom date story that will echo through eternity as a horrifying cringy experience; VK accuses Producer Marc of ruining the traditional Junior/Senior Banquet for some reason; Producer Marc also gets roasted by a student that he used to like a lot and had always been nice to but now is probably in trouble and might not graduate because of it.

    Plus: IRAQI DOWNLOADS.

  • Cincinnati, on the Ohio, Which Flows to the Mississippi, Which Is A River
    May 6 2026

    Join us this week as our Mystery Guest reacts in wonder to the news that Cope and VK can read! Also, the mystery guest was invited to try out for the Cincinatti Reds, which is an achievement, but also no one really likes the Cincinatti Reds, which is something that no reasonable person can dispute.

    Be aware that there is a surprisingly in-depth discussion of the Star Wars Universe led by VK, which is the least surprising part of the surprising discussion. I need to check just how far in the male direction our audience demographics skew and maybe get a good discussion of Gilmore Girls going or something to try to bend the demographic curve back toward something like normal.

    PRODUCER NOTE: This is actually the first episode where we legitimately used the language beep and there is one instance where a - as Stee would say - barnyard swear pops up, but given the context, I thought it was worth leaving (mostly) in. Just be forewarned.

  • Rubber Chicken and Green Beans Straight From The Can
    Apr 15 2026

    In this weeks BIG COMEBACK episode after SPRING BREAK, Cope and VK actually did some basic show prep to make sure they don't say anything that is wildly incorrect about our mystery guest's youth and young adulthood, which is laudable and to be encouraged. We may actually get this podcast moved from "amateurish" to legit "amateur" yet!

    This week's mystery guest is an adult human who is gainfully employed at South Christian! There may be math involved, so, trigger warning. Also, Tom Izzo catches some strays, and Chick-fil-a notches another win in the great fast food chicken war.

    This week's sponsor is Rozema Homes, where Josh Rozema will build you a tesseract home that will allow you to manipulate items in the past like Matthew McConaughey in Interstellar. But only if you build on a cul-de-sac, I think.

    Drop us a line at rtbo@schs.org if you want to share any Stee stories, complement Producer Marc, of offer constructive (or even deconstructive) criticisms of our hosts.
