Breaking Headsets Podcast

We finally get Chris Coyne back on, and immediately throw him into the fire with a “Hit the Post” segment he definitely wasn’t prepared for. This time it’s all soft rock, and somehow it turns into one of the funniest segments we’ve done.Chris takes his shot at songs from David Byrne, Toto, Goo Goo Dolls, Extreme, and Temple of the Dog, mixing in random trivia, confidence, and just enough chaos to keep it interesting. He may not have known the exact timing, but he showed up ready to play.Outside of the music, it’s business as usual — which means zero structure and a lot of randomness. Travis is dealing with a torn meniscus and multiple surgeries coming up, Noah recaps a rare night out that turned into a full send, and the guys revisit some recent moments from the show.Somehow this episode also includes:A recap of the rap draft and how it actually turned outThe ongoing investigation into the missing cologne bottleWrestling stories and the ridiculous virtual fan eraA wild update involving an old friend now making kangaroo leather bullwhipsThe usual mix of inside jokes, childhood stories, and nonsenseIt all wraps up with a live-style outro that somehow works perfectly.Just another episode that starts in one place and ends somewhere completely different.

Hildor prevails... too muchAppreciate you all - Trav

This week on Breaking Headsets, things go off the rails immediately and never recover — in the best possible way.We kick things off with Christopher Cross chaos, 90’s PSA nostalgia (“It’s 10PM… do you know where your kids are?”), and a debate over what qualifies as a cardinal mistake. Then comes the discovery of what might be the largest bottle of cologne ever manufactured — hidden inside a car like beach glass waiting to be unearthed.We also recap a Sharks game adventure featuring center-ice seats, the worst arena pizza ever served, and a late-night La Victoria orange sauce situation that nearly stole the show.The episode wraps with a full 90’s Band Draft between the crew — complete with controversy, questionable rule interpretations, surprise picks, and a few all-time classics somehow lasting way too long on the board.Featuring picks from:Green Day, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Smashing Pumpkins, Beastie Boys, Oasis, Bush, Matchbox Twenty, Counting Crows, Blink-182, Incubus, and more.Plus honorable mentions, heated arguments about what counts as a “band,” and one extremely passionate defense of Hootie & the Blowfish.Another free show. You’re welcome.

Episode 40 of Breaking Headsets was supposed to be a simple celebratory dinner — a Hibachi outing funded by listeners to mark the milestone. What actually happened was something else entirely. Travis and Noah rolled into Kobe Japan on a quiet weeknight, nearly the only people in the restaurant, and somehow ended up singing Backstreet Boys with strangers, befriending a couple celebrating a 40th birthday, and discovering a connection to someone from Travis's past that nobody could have scripted. Oh, and then they spent the next day paying the price for an irresponsible amount of garlic butter. Chris Coyne debuts a new sponsor, the chef becomes a one-man entertainment act, and yum yum sauce becomes a recurring crime. Welcome to the 40-40 club.Chapters​Cold Open / Audio Disaster — The show nearly dies before it starts when a volume check blows everyone's eardrums out.​Listener Shoutouts — Kenny's wife, the crocheting coworker, and Pine Tree (a.k.a.

Noah judges. A boat of sauce is delivered. It does not end there.​Fishing with Strangers — Noah eavesdrops on the couple next to them, bonds over a hidden fishing spot, and forgets he's not mic'd.​Happy Birthday, Joel — The couple at their table is celebrating a 40th birthday.

On this episode of the Breaking Headsets Podcast, the boys open the show campaigning for a condom sponsorship and immediately spiral into a full-blown brand debate that absolutely doesn’t belong on a podcast. Travis takes another friendly shot at Stu as the feud rolls on, and the crew debuts a new segment: Fact or Fiction, featuring a surprise call-in and an accusation that turns into instant chaos.Along the way, there’s studio upgrade talk, prank-call ambitions, a quick detour into sports arguments that people don't care about, and a mid-episode shift into a more real moment as the guys give a nod to someone close to the circle—before snapping right back to jokes, stories, and food plans they still haven’t cashed in on.All roads lead back to laughs, a little perspective, and one more replay of the commercial that started it all.00:00 – Intro chaos + condom sponsor talk03:30 – Brand debate gets out of hand07:30 – The restaurant hold story10:30 – Studio upgrades + prank call dreams13:30 – New segment: Fact or Fiction (surprise call-in)19:30 – Trophy accusation + the “real” story23:00 – Guests, clips, and the show growing27:30 – Sports debate detour31:30 – A real-life moment (kept brief)35:00 – Concert stories + classic Higgy energy45:00 – Backstage / legendary run-ins50:00 – The “pen pal” twist57:00 – Wrapping it up + what’s next1:02:00 – Bacon fried rice and taco tour promises1:08:00 – Replay the commercial, end on a high noteChapters (lighter / implied)

This week the guys kick things off with the now-legendary Chris Coin intro before falling into a Super Bowl halftime show rabbit hole and the discovery that Travis is still being left off group texts thanks to a phone number from 2008. The Varsity Blues re-record gets a full behind-the-scenes breakdown, including the emergency mic setup that forced one host to record an entire episode flat on his back.Wiley’s airport body-scanner scare leads to a plan for a “second opinion” from another TSA machine, and an Arizona State unlimited soda cup nearly becomes the greatest financial mistake a concession stand has ever made.Then the main event: former radio host Chris Coin joins for a Hit the Post segment that turns into absolute chaos. Karaoke tracks, wrong songs, perfect timing, real DJ stories, and a Toby Keith trip to a YMCA somehow all make sense — and Coin instantly earns recurring-guest status.Finally, the Sleep Creeps jump in to settle the Friendly Deathbed Bet controversy. Can you switch teams in a lifelong bet? Should there be penalties? And how did a lifelong Raiders fan suddenly win with the Rams? Travis accidentally gets drafted into the league as the Lions representative, punishment ideas get ridiculous, and the integrity of the bet hangs in the balance.The episode wraps with upcoming food “homework,” emcee ambitions, and new music from The Capitals.Chapters00:00:00 — Intro + Hit the Post: Carpool Karaoke Edition00:02:10 — Super Bowl halftime show debate00:06:35 — TikTok/Instagram link struggle00:09:20 — Giant Pop Tart text sent to Travis’s old number00:13:05 — Hate mail screenshot + show dynamic talk00:17:10 — Varsity Blues re-record + mic disaster setup00:24:10 — Wiley’s TSA scanner scare00:30:25 — ASU unlimited soda cup + Hooters pitcher story00:36:10 — Stu on the Streets Christmas photo beef00:42:40 — Chris Coin reveal: former radio host00:47:05 — Hit the Post: Tim McGraw attempt00:51:10 — Shania/Toby Keith wrong-track chaos00:54:15 — Alan Jackson “Chattahoochee” (nailed)00:58:30 — Coin's radio days + Toby Keith YMCA story01:03:45 — Making Coin a recurring segment01:07:25 — Friendly Deathbed Bet explained01:12:20 — Nick switches from Raiders to Rams01:18:10 — The Rams justification timeline01:23:20 — Why the switch broke the bet01:28:40 — Punishment proposals01:35:10 — Travis joins the bet (Lions)01:41:05 — Bacon fried rice homework + taco route plan01:44:30 — The Capitals – Tunnels shoutout01:47:05 — Outro

We had to run it back.After our first recording got completely destroyed by a failed audio session, the whole crew crammed into the studio to give Varsity Blues the tribute it deserves following the passing of James Van Der Beek.This is not a straight recap — it’s a hangout with three guys who grew up on this movie and still quote it like it came out yesterday. We relive the moments that made it legendary, break down why it was the most relatable football movie of our generation, and argue over which character each of us actually was in high school.From Bud Kilmer running the entire town, to Tweeter stealing a cop car, to the whipped-cream scene that permanently altered expectations for teenage America, nothing is safe.We also get into the soundtrack, the performances, the scenes that still hold up, and what the movie — and Van Der Beek — meant to us.Funny, nostalgic, and completely unfiltered — this is our way of saying thanks for one of the most rewatchable sports movies ever made.“I don’t want your life.”

This week on Breaking Headsets, things spiral immediately — from microphone muffs landing in spaghetti to crashing a quinceañera for takeout tiramisu.The guys recap the now-infamous “Lips of an Angel” copyright incident (RIP to their one minute of Hinder glory), leading to an emergency homemade outro performance that may or may not rival the original. Spotify tried to shut them down… but the show survives.Meanwhile:A mysterious radio alter ego named Chris Coin is exposed.A homemade, sheet-pan-sized Pop-Tart from Mrs. Renshaw changes lives.The Great Taco Tour of Monument Boulevard is officially in planning.A GoFundMe for bacon fried rice edges closer to destiny.One host bravely releases his brother’s ashes into the Pacific, tying together grief, growth, and Billy Ocean references in the most Breaking Headsets way possible.It’s part food review, part music litigation, part Little League gossip, part emotional breakthrough — and somehow it all makes sense.And yes… the Pop-Tart was better than the boxed kind.

What song is worth a WHOLE concert? Listen as the boys talk it out with El Molino... Who will win the outro song?

“Inspector Gadget, Rude Fatties, and the Hummingbird War”In an episode that somehow manages to be both completely unhinged and absolutely on-brand, Travis and Noah open with an accidental warm-up duet of Inspector Gadget that never leaves their heads. From there, everything spirals beautifully.They break down last week’s audio disaster — echo, reverb, 16 voice tracks, and a surprise early release of the unedited episode that only two people heard: Noah and The Savior/Uncle Bob, who shut it down before the world heard private hot-mic chaos. A true hero.The guys recap the infamous Top 10 Foods episode: Renshaw becoming a fan favorite (and then breaking Noah’s heart by turning down assistant-coach duties), Wiley’s critiques and alternate list, the Pop-Tart bribe, and chicken pot pie becoming the enemy of the state.Then the trio talk GoFundMe humiliation (zero dollars), K-text disrespect, Nacho loyalty, and why short episodes are actually their worst-performing ones.Stu “On the Streets” enters the storyline with beef, hummingbird surveillance technology, and a full feud brewing between him and Wiley. Meanwhile, the guys plot an AI video of themselves as hummingbirds seeking revenge.Noah tells the story of the Foo Fighters birthday-show trip that turned into a surprise father-son adventure: broken elevators, Compton Uber rides, walking through SoFi Stadium illegally, and battling the legendary Rude Fatty in the Forum seat next to Jackson.The episode wraps with:• parenting talk• In Living Color nostalgia• weird Omegle encounters• machine-gun impressions by women• and the eternal mystery of why anyone listens to this show.It’s long, chaotic, and makes absolutely no sense — which means it’s a perfect Breaking Headsets episode.

A foodtastic episode where the boys discuss their top 10 food items of all time. Renshaw, making his debut, joins the crew and gives his top 10 as well, which spirals into a potential field trip funded by a GoFundMe ! Also, is there a simmering beef (pun intended) between Travis and Stu on the Streets?

Remember Michael Jordan's "Flu Game"? This is NOTHING like that, but Travis did get the flu so we had El Molino and The Cat Burglar try to fill his shoes!

Toodaloo 2025!

I mean, its a little late - who are YOU to judge?
