BTT Studios

It's Wednesday, the show is now Monday–Wednesday–Friday at about an hour a pop, and BTT is live in Austria for the first time (not Australia — though Vince confirms Australia belongs on Coach's bucket list). After Vince's fantasy-baseball anxiety — "Wolf Mall" just took first place for the first time all season — Coach goes straight to the story the chat came for: Vince Russo has parted ways with Juggalo Championship Wrestling after a year as head writer. Vince is clear there was no falling-out with Violent J ("I would take a bullet for this dude") and gives his two re...

Rant Wednesday on Coach and Company starts with the story New York didn't want to hear. Jaxson Dart got hurt in the Giants' 28-6 Monday night loss to the Rams. John Harbaugh's first read was "in the neighborhood" of an MCL sprain. Now there are reports of MCL, PCL and meniscus damage and season-ending surgery. Big Tommy C wants the front office to stop keeping fans in the dark. The panel agrees the Giants need a real answer behind Jameis Winston, who went 11-of-27 for 111 yards in relief. Mikey P floats a buy-low call to Minnesota for J.J...

Coach opens show No. 3 of Afternoon Drive with his Week 2 power rankings: 1. Bills, 2. 49ers, 3. Chiefs, 4. Seahawks, 5. Rams — three NFC West teams in the top five. Buffalo is 2-0 after dropping 36 on Houston and 41 on Detroit, and Josh Allen already has nine total touchdowns (NFL.com/Yahoo). San Francisco won its first two by 20-plus, including the 27-7 opener over the Rams in Melbourne (49ers.com), and the Rams earn their spot after Monday night's 28-6 win over the Giants, with Aaron Donald back and making a difference (NFL.com). Then it's every Week 3 game in two minutes or...

It's the weekend wrestling fans have circled for months. AEW All Out and WWE's Worlds Collide go head-to-head in Chicago on the same night. Coach and JDfromNY start the show by deciding who has already won the weekend. Both say AEW, because All Out sold out without ever addressing WWE, while WWE still hasn't said where its show will air. From there they break down All Out's card: Will Ospreay's first true pay-per-view title defense against Jon Moxley, and what could be Cope and Christian's last big moment in a three-way TLC tag title match with FTR and the...

It's lookahead Tuesday, and Coach opens with the viral doppelgänger discourse — he's convinced Jalen Hurts is doing a Coach impression, and Supi would like everyone to stop calling him Jason Kelce — before the panel gets to a Monday night that was over almost before it started. Jaxson Dart left on the Giants' opening drive with a knee injury (believed to be a sprained MCL), Jameis Winston went 11-of-27 for 111 yards in relief, and the Rams rolled 28-6 behind Matthew Stafford's 327 yards and four touchdowns and Davante Adams' 8-catch, 195-yard night — with Aaron Donald back in the lineup and Puka Na...

It's Monday, and after a rocky start (Coach's mic goes down, Producer Man briefly takes the wheel) The Coach and Bro get into a Big Three that skips the usual segment-by-segment Raw and SmackDown breakdown for three heavier conversations. Before that, Vince has "middle to extensive heat" with Coach over the Chiefs failing to cover and the viral "That's my husband!" moment from Sunday night, and Coach is trending after NFL Twitter decided Jalen Hurts' sideline look was a dead ringer for one of his classic entrance videos. The lead story is a serious one: indie wrestler...

It's the busiest day of the week at BTT Studios, and Coach and Raphael Esparza only have the morning to get through all of NFL Week 2 — starting with Sunday night's 70-minute classic at Arrowhead, where the Chiefs beat the Colts 33-30 in overtime behind a vintage Patrick Mahomes (382 yards, 3 TD) and a 101-yard night from Travis Kelce. Raphael's takeaway is that Mahomes spreading the ball to seven receivers, including a late shot to Tyquan Thornton, is what makes Kansas City dangerous again; Coach notes the Colts defense now owns the NFL record for yards allowed through two games and do...

Peyton Lodge and Coach open on the weekend that proves the whole premise of this show — 50-year-olds crashing in fraternity houses in Oxford because there isn't a hotel room left in the state. From there it's the NBA's Clippers ruling, handed down September 2, which required Kawhi Leonard to pay $700,000, fined the organization $30 million, stripped five first-round picks between 2029 and 2033, and suspended Steve Ballmer for a year.1 Coach won't put it on Leonard — he blames the agents and the people above him, drawing on his own years working for a billionaire — while Peyton is stuck on the sheer size of number...

Friday is Story Time on The Coach and Bro, and it opens with Vince Russo on a tear about the difference between content and good content. Howard Stern's show moved to HBO Max this month as a weekly filmed series after cutting his SiriusXM schedule to one day a week, and Russo — a Stern listener since 1983, and the reason he wanted to get into radio in the first place — watched the first episode and could not believe what a network that built its name on The Sopranos had just paid for. He gives it six episodes. Coach's read is diff...

Coach opens with Buffalo's home debut, and Supi's line is the one that sticks: the stamp Josh Allen put on it "put a hole in the earth." Allen went for 248 through the air and 69 on the ground with five total touchdowns as the Bills beat Detroit 41-31 in the new building.1 The three of them are less kind to Dan Campbell, who never seriously looked at a field goal while chasing points, and to a Lions offense that leaned away from Jahmyr Gibbs — 16 carries, 52 rushing yards — when he is plainly their best weapon. Mikey P's argument is that Buffalo show...

Episode two of the Afternoon Drive opens on the biggest number on the board: Lions-Bills, Bills laying roughly 5.5 with a total near 55 — four points clear of anything else in Week 2. Coach walks through the one thing that scares him about the spot (four days of rest and a Jahmyr Gibbs workload of 34 touches in Week 1), then applies a lesson Colin Cowherd taught him at ESPN — play the hits — to make the case for Josh Allen at 253.5 passing and 30.5 rushing. Along the way he lays out what each side has to do to win: a perfect game from Detroit, and simply...

Thursday's Coach and Company opens on the news out of Chapel Hill: Steve Belichick has resigned from North Carolina [1] after an investigation the school described as showing "a disregard for Carolina's values and standards of conduct" while being "isolated in scope and not a systemic failure" — and with general manager Michael Lombardi already gone, the question on the table is how much longer Bill Belichick wants the job. Mikey P frames it as a will question rather than a can question: does Belichick believe North Carolina can become a legitimate program, and how much does losing his GM cost hi...

What makes a believable WWE champion: the look, the story, or the connection? Jonathan “The Coach” Coachman and Vince Russo react to the Sami Zayn interview excerpts played on the show and debate whether WWE is doing enough to win back casual viewers. Zayn’s Bloodline history and championship résumé provide the backdrop as the hosts argue about first impressions, audience research and the difference between serving existing fans and attracting new ones. His September 15 Busted Open appearance is the starting point—not the end—of the argument. The conversation then crosses into pop culture with Sydney Sween...

Lane Kiffin is heading back to Oxford, and Coach and Company is ready for the noise. The Coach, Mikey P and Big Tommy C tackle the drama around LSU vs. Ole Miss and Kiffin’s return, from his college football “heel” persona to the home crowd’s expectations. Then the conversation moves between the lines: can Trinidad Chambliss give Ole Miss the last laugh against his former coach? It’s “Back to School” for a five-game Week 3 preview. Beyond LSU–Ole Miss, the crew debates whether Notre Dame can overwhelm Michigan State, why Mikey likes SMU against Louisville, and...

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Afternoon Drive with the Coach. Simply The Coach introduces BTT Studios’ new Tuesday/Thursday NFL-season format: a brisk, game-by-game run through the league’s full official 2026 NFL Week 2 schedule, with listener interaction and his own analysis at the center of the show. Every matchup below is linked to that official NFL schedule. The Coach works through all 16 games in the exact order discussed, mixing reactions to Week 1 with his personal leans on sides, totals, and teaser strategy. His picks, predictions, power rankings, and betting opinions are his own analysis and are not...

Mexico City brought out a version of WWE that felt urgent, focused, and unmistakably big-time. The Coach and JD open by asking whether the September 14 edition of Raw—WWE’s first Raw in Mexico City in 15 years—set a new standard for the Triple H era. They break down the extraordinary crowd, the spotlight placed on lucha libre, Chad Gable’s excellent Intercontinental Title defense against Dragon Lee, and El Grande Americano’s rise from surprise character to AAA Mega Champion. The conversation expands beyond one show. Stephanie Vaquer’s Women’s World Championship victory over Liv Morgan at a li...

Simply The Coach opens with BTT Sports programming announcements before Soupy and Mikey P join him to revisit Week 1. The crew celebrates the Giants’ win over the Cowboys, notes Chicago’s explosive result against Carolina, and debates the Chiefs’ 31–10 Monday night win over the Broncos. Their Chiefs conversation centers on Kenneth Walker’s debut, Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, and Kansas City’s defense; the official Chiefs-Broncos Week 1 highlights provide the game context behind the discussion. The Legends Lounge gets its moment, too, as the panel recognizes Producer Man’s first-touchdown call. Guest analyst Raphael Esparza brings his Tuesday Inside...

Vince Russo opens Monday's show by apologizing to ChatGPT. He asked it for an early-game and a late-game parlay, both lost, he cut what he describes as a stiff and ugly promo on the chatbot, and by Sunday he was a grown man typing out an apology and asking for forgiveness with seventeen weeks of football still to play. From there it becomes a genuine grievance about NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube blacking out games he thought he paid for — until Coach points out that the games were on local channels Russo no longer subscribes to. Then th...

Monday means all NFL all the time, and Coach opens with three from the weekend: Texas is the new No. 1 in the AP Top 25 after Arch Manning wiped out a 20-point fourth-quarter hole in Austin — the Longhorns' earliest in-season No. 1 since 1965 (AP); Myles Garrett will have knee surgery and land on IR for at least four games after the Rams' 27-7 loss to the 49ers in Melbourne (NFL.com, Rams); and Ben Shelton's breakout U.S. Open ended in his first Grand Slam final, a four-set loss to Alexander Zverev (ESPN). Brandon Combs joins and takes a victory lap on...

The Friday Storytime era begins with a story bigger than professional wrestling. The Coach and Vince Russo reflect on AEW’s Rebel Heart Dynamite, which honored Tanea “Rebel” Brooks and supported I AM ALS and Team Gleason. Britt Baker’s emotional reunion with Rebel leads both hosts into an unusually personal conversation about the cost of putting work before family, the moments they wish they could reclaim, and the importance of remembering that wrestling is entertainment—not life and death. That perspective becomes even more powerful as the hosts revisit September 11, 2001. Russo remembers being stranded in Oklahoma and drivin...
