In a flagrant display of hubris, Copeland and VandeKopple allow show producer Marc Vander Maas to have a microphone of his own. The good news is that he delivers the first VIEWER MAILBAG segment (rtbo@schs.org, of course) and reveals that the show is IMPACTING HUGE in Tunisia (with a single download). The bad news is that it makes for a more chaotic environment for this week's mystery guest, who A) is (or at least was) good at a sport, b) is employed by a local high school that may or may not be South Christian, and c) is either male or female, but because the writer of the show notes is more subtle and crafty than Mr. VandeKopple, he's not going to give that information away at all.

Other topics of discussion: Mr. Kroeze's free-throw shooting ability, whether Mr. Kroeze could beat the Mystery Guest in a free-throw shooting competition (not even the slightest chance), Raising Cane's and fast-food chicken in general, and, if the Mystery Guest were in a high-stress situation where their arms were heavy, knees week, and palms sweaty, what fast-food item would be represented in the vomit that was on their sweater already, assuming that mom wasn't able to make her famous spaghetti that day. All this and MUCH MORE in this action packed episode of Roll the Balls Out!

This week, we learn that Curt Copeland believes that, given the proper circumstances, he could "make an impact" on the world of Olympic speed skating. We also learn that he's "at least ten years past his athletic prime" and "potentially delusional," a fact confirmed by our latest MYSTERY GUEST, who also helps us prove beyond any reasonable doubt that Calvin University is superior to Hope College in pretty much every significant way.

We are also introduced to the important work of the Roll the Balls Out Foundation, which doesn't actually exist and does no work at all to the best of our knowledge, but it sounds cool and could possibly help to fund a pair of skates for Mr. Copeland at some point in the future, or maybe a scholarship so he can take a class at Calvin and finally get a REAL college education AMIRIGHT? (Hang in there Cope - maybe someday you'll land that dream job at CourtMenders!)

Don't forget to email us at rtbo@schs.org with your questions, comments, or demands that we roll out some sweet sweet RTBO merch for you to impress your friends and family with!

This week on Roll The Balls Out!, we welcome our first student guest and force them to say who their favorite teacher is, which can only lead to awkwardness at school when the episode releases; the student also quizzes Copeland and VandeKopple on current teen slang, which - let's be honest - is also awkward. But none of that can happen until after an oddly long discussion of the largest member of the Pike family and the equipment needed to catch them (brought to you by this weeks sponsor, Muskie Bandit Baits).

Plus: Are you a listener? Do you have feedback? Are we gonna have a "listener mailbag" segment if listeners send us email? ONLY TIME WILL TELL. But if we're going to do that, we need an email address, so here it is: rtbo@schs.org. Please be kind.

Many people have wondered what would happen if the P.E. department was given access to microphones and a broadcasting platform; many more have never even contemplated such a thing; the truly wise among us have recoiled in horror at the thought and have worked very hard to ensure that such a thing would never happen. But they have failed.

Welcome to Roll The Balls Out, a brand-new podcast for the South Christian High School community!

In this episode, Mr. Copeland and Mr. VandeKopple join forces to create an unstoppable podcasting juggernaut, and welcome their first surprise guest - a teacher who is coming up on their 40th anniversary at South and tells us the secret to getting hired at a Christian school in the 80s (hint: you need to know the person at The Banner who publishes the employment section).
