    Big Ben Tells One Egg Toss Story That Spirals Into A Sunrise Hike At 11,000 Feet Ep 131

    No breaking Pittsburgh Steelers news? That’s when our show gets the most honest. We’re back in the basement, catching up with the Footballing family, and we start with the one Steelers moment that actually deserves the spotlight: Pat Freiermuth getting married. We send a real congratulations, then pivot into what we do best when the offseason goes quiet, telling stories and hanging out like you’re sitting right here with us.  We bring back the beer segment with two very different pours: a Western American lager that takes Ben straight back to Estes Park, Colorado, and a “Beer Flavored Beer” sent in from Allusion Brewing Company in Pennsylvania. The beer talk turns into the kind of unexpectedly fun rabbit hole we love, including a legit question: why do some beer steins have lids, and what does that say about the history of drinking culture?  From there, it’s camp stories from Wind River Ranch and a faith-based retreat that mixes family time, teaching, worship, and the kind of challenge you can’t fake. Ben tells the egg toss story that ends in a brutal loss at the worst possible moment, then walks through a 3:45am hike in the dark to a sunrise summit over 11,000 feet. We talk altitude, heart rates, carrying everyone’s water, kids sprinting ahead like mountain goats, and the simple “mountains and valleys” metaphor that sticks with you long after the trip ends.  If you like Steelers podcasts with personality, craft beer reviews, and real-life lessons that land, hit play.

    Big Ben makes Steelers 2026 Schedule Predictions Ep 130

    No film-room cop-outs, no “it depends” hedging. Just quick, honest win-loss calls across the entire schedule, including rivalry landmines in the AFC North and that wildcard trip to Paris to face the Saints. After the picks, we zoom out and talk about what’s actually driving optimism right now: a complete coaching reset under Mike McCarthy, what minicamp and OTAs can reveal about tempo and expectations, and why veteran buy-in matters as much as talent. We also hit key Steelers news and roster pressure points, like the Chris Boswell extension and the growing questions around Joey Porter Jr and how a “hold in” could impact training camp. We finish by asking the real question behind every schedule prediction: if 12 and 5 is on the table, what does this team have to change to finally deliver in the postseason? Listen, then drop your record prediction and your boldest take. If you enjoyed the show, subscribe, share it with a Steelers fan, and leave a review.

    Big Ben Talks how Aaron Rodgers makes Steelers a legit playoff contender Ep. 129

    Aaron Rodgers news hits differently when it’s big enough to find you while you’re out of the country, and that’s where we start from the basement. We talk through what Rodgers coming back to Pittsburgh means for the Steelers right now, not as a fantasy, but as a real “win now” window. I lay out why this roster looks like a legit playoff team on paper, what still has to break right, and why it’s too early to throw around Super Bowl contender like it’s a guarantee.  From there, we get nerdy in the best way: quarterback fundamentals, footwork, and why seeing a young QB drill something like a three-step drop can spark a bigger question about the college football pipeline. We break down under-center mechanics, pro-style timing, anticipation throws, and the difference between the clean “handbook” version of the position and the real NFL moments where protection fails and you survive on feel, instincts, and experience. If you love the chess match side of football, this part is for you.  We also dig into the offensive line as a chemistry problem, not just a talent problem. OTAs are for shuffling pieces, testing combinations, and finding the five who actually function as one unit. Then we close with something personal: celebrating Ashley’s seminary graduation and what it takes for a whole family to support a long-term goal. Subscribe, share this with a Steelers fan, and leave a review with your prediction: what’s the Steelers’ final record with Rodgers under center?

    Roosevelt Nix Explains How He Reinvented Himself To Stay In The NFL, Being teammates with Big Ben & more! Ep 128

    Getting cut is brutal. Getting cut on Hard Knocks is a whole different kind of pain. Roosevelt “Rosie” Nix sits down with us to tell the parts of his story most fans never hear, from being labeled “too small” out of Ohio to choosing Kent State because the coaches believed in him first, and how that early trust shaped everything that came next. We talk about Rosie’s roots as a defensive lineman, why sacks were always the goal, and how he trained for the NFL as an “athlete” while teams projected him at linebacker, fullback, or anywhere he could help. Then we get into the hard turn: Atlanta, cameras, learning an entirely new offensive language, and a cut that sent him back home to teach at his high school while he kept training for a second chance that was not guaranteed. That second chance shows up in Pittsburgh, and it comes with a twist. Rosie breaks down what it’s like to be told by Mike Tomlin, in a quick locker room moment, that you’re switching again and you have seconds to decide. We dig into special teams as a career lifeline, the core four phases, why kickoff coverage became his stage, and how belief plus relentless work can turn a “role player” into someone teams actually game plan for. We also catch up on life after football, mental health, and Rosie’s new chapter in franchising with Playa bowls. Footbahlin Merch: https://footbahlin-with-ben-roethlisberger.clockwise.io/products

    A Pittsburgh Draft Weekend With Big Ben & Max Starks! Ep 127

    The Steelers draft weekend gave us a perfect excuse to do two things at once: take you inside what Pittsburgh felt like when the NFL rolled into town, and then go straight into a real Steelers draft breakdown with no sugarcoating. Ben shares the Thursday night scene, the security maze, the green room surprises, and the kind of Terry Bradshaw interaction you only get when football feels like family. From there we get into the picks, the wide receiver twist right before the Steelers were on the clock, and why the offensive line decision is either going to look brilliant or brutal depending on how fast the rookie is ready. Then Max Starks steps into the basement and the stories go deep fast. We talk the 2004 draft class, the phone call from Bill Cowher, and what it’s like to land in Pittsburgh when you thought you were headed somewhere else. Max takes us back through Super Bowl XL and Super Bowl XLIII with the details only an offensive lineman can give, from snow football memories to the final-drive reality of stress, leverage, and trust. If you’ve ever wondered how a quarterback scramble changes protection or why holding calls aren’t always on the blocker, Max explains it in plain language. We also connect it to today: Steelers team-building priorities, whether trading up makes sense, how the Aaron Rodgers situation could be more than a simple yes or no, and why building the trenches still matters most. We even zoom out into NIL and the transfer portal to talk about how it’s reshaping college football development and what that means for the NFL pipeline.
