Curt Copeland, Joel VandeKopple and their extensive and highly professional staff bring you an inside look at life at South Christian High School in Grand Rapids, Michigan from the perspective of the P.E. department. Tune in for secret guest interviews, unreasonable and unauthorized discount coupons for merch from the Sailor Store, and potentially the on-air firing of the entire P.E. staff for bringing the school to the edge of bankruptcy with said coupon codes! Well, not really. But we do plan to have a lot of fun talking with students, teachers, and whoever else piques our interest as we explore the day to day life of our school.

    The Maroon Conspiracy Runs Deep

    In this edition of Roll The Balls Out, Producer Marc blows the roof off of the century-plus-long Holland Christian conspiracy, Cope and VK preview the heavily anticipated Hope/Georgia football matchup, and our mystery guest reveals their deep love of Teen Beach Movie and unicycling while remaining completely concealed. ===== RTBO HIGHLY PAID, DEEPLY SKILLED & COMPLETELY PROFESSIONAL CREW Hosts: Curt Copeland & Joel VandeKoppel Honorary Executive Producer & Show Founder: Mark Van Stee Strikingly Handsome Executive Editor, Managing Producer, SFX Coordinator, Staff Writer, Poet Laureate, Music Director & Host of Award-Winning Producer Notes Segment: Marc Vander Maas Executive Producer, Official Show Disciplinarian, and Crisis Communications Manager for When The Show Gets Too Embarrassing for the School: Aaron Meckes Instagram Coordinator and Director of the RTBO Institute for the Advancement of Poultry Science and Technology: Dr. Gabby Miller (M.S. in Sauce Integration & Chicken Strip Dynamics, Baylor University) Director Emeritus, RTBO Foundation: Sandy Dobbs Bieber Stylist, Fashion Coordinator, Swag Manager, and Guy Who Gets Blamed For The Coupon Codes Even Though It’s Not Really His Fault: Taylor Johnson Art Director and Image Coordination: Morgan Ball Official Hunting Guide and Guy We’d Trust To Protect Us From The Predator, and Bringer of Juice: Bruce Huttenga Bald but Still Respected: David Kool Washington Correspondent: Teresa VanderSchaff Finance Director Frantically Trying to Cover the Immense Cost of All The Coupon Codes: Maelia Post GET TO DA CHOPPA: Arnold Schwarzenegger Official Totally Awesome Mid-80s BMX Bike-based Sports Drama: Rad Director of Transportation and Facilities Manager: “Big Hands” Mike Wolthuis Freakin’ Skyscraper: Todd Schrotenboer Drama Coordinator: Reba Ezell Professional Elephant: Malachi VandeStreek Secretary of Luxurious Facial Hair: John Hendrikse Leader of Chicken Tender Rebel Alliance: Rachel Westra Probably Loves You: Josh Sterenberg Surf Dudette and Indiana Travel Consultant: Kelsie Schweir Show Chaplain and Cincinnati Reds Washout: Chuck Swanson Prom Date Consultant: Chuck Pothoven 24/7 On Call Home Repair Specialist: Josh Klomp Doesn’t like sand: Brady Howe Also apparently doesn’t like sand: Ben Kroeze INFORMATION MISSING: Anna VanElderin Cruisin’ for a Bruisin’: Luke VanderZee

    Politeness Goes Unrewarded

    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. ===== RTBO HIGHLY PAID, DEEPLY SKILLED & COMPLETELY PROFESSIONAL CREW Hosts: Curt Copeland & Joel VandeKoppel Honorary Executive Producer & Show Founder: Mark Van Stee Strikingly Handsome Executive Editor, Managing Producer, SFX Coordinator, Staff Writer, Poet Laureate, Music Director & Host of Award-Winning Producer Notes Segment: Marc Vander Maas Executive Producer, Official Show Disciplinarian, and Crisis Communications Manager for When The Show Gets Too Embarrassing for the School: Aaron Meckes Instagram Coordinator and Director of the RTBO Institute for the Advancement of Poultry Science and Technology: Dr. Gabby Miller (M.S. in Sauce Integration & Chicken Strip Dynamics, Baylor University) Director Emeritus, RTBO Foundation: Sandy Dobbs Bieber Stylist, Fashion Coordinator, Swag Manager, and Guy Who Gets Blamed For The Coupon Codes Even Though It’s Not Really His Fault: Taylor Johnson Art Director and Image Coordination: Morgan Ball Official Hunting Guide and Guy We’d Trust To Protect Us From The Predator, and Bringer of Juice: Bruce Huttenga Bald but Still Respected: David Kool Washington Correspondent: Teresa VanderSchaff Finance Director Frantically Trying to Cover the Immense Cost of All The Coupon Codes: Maelia Post GET TO DA CHOPPA: Arnold Schwarzenegger Official Totally Awesome Mid-80s BMX Bike-based Sports Drama: Rad Director of Transportation and Facilities Manager: “Big Hands” Mike Wolthuis Freakin’ Skyscraper: Todd Schrotenboer Drama Coordinator: Reba Ezell Professional Elephant: Malachi VandeStreek Secretary of Luxurious Facial Hair: John Hendrikse Leader of Chicken Tender Rebel Alliance: Rachel Westra Probably Loves You: Josh Sterenberg Surf Dudette and Indiana Travel Consultant: Kelsie Schweir Show Chaplain and Cincinnati Reds Washout: Chuck Swanson Prom Date Consultant: Chuck Pothoven 24/7 On Call Home Repair Specialist: Josh Klomp Doesn’t like sand: Brady Howe Also apparently doesn’t like sand: Ben Kroeze INFORMATION MISSING: Anna VanElderin

    Forty Yards of HYPE

    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. ==== RTBO HIGHLY PAID, DEEPLY SKILLED & COMPLETELY PROFESSIONAL CREW Hosts: Curt Copeland & Joel VandeKoppel Honorary Executive Producer & Show Founder: Mark Van Stee Strikingly Handsome Executive Editor, Managing Producer, SFX Coordinator, Staff Writer, Poet Laureate, Music Director & Host of Award-Winning Producer Notes Segment: Marc Vander Maas Executive Producer, Official Show Disciplinarian, and Crisis Communications Manager for When The Show Gets Too Embarrassing for the School: Aaron Meckes Instagram Coordinator and Director of the RTBO Institute for the Advancement of Poultry Science and Technology: Dr. Gabby Miller (M.S. in Sauce Integration & Chicken Strip Dynamics, Baylor University) Director Emeritus, RTBO Foundation: Sandy Dobbs Bieber Stylist, Fashion Coordinator, Swag Manager, and Guy Who Gets Blamed For The Coupon Codes Even Though It’s Not Really His Fault: Taylor Johnson Art Director and Image Coordination: Morgan Ball Official Hunting Guide and Guy We’d Trust To Protect Us From The Predator, and Bringer of Juice: Bruce Huttenga Bald but Still Respected: David Kool Washington Correspondent: Teresa VanderSchaff Finance Director Frantically Trying to Cover the Immense Cost of All The Coupon Codes: Maelia Post GET TO DA CHOPPA: Arnold Schwarzenegger Official Totally Awesome Mid-80s BMX Bike-based Sports Drama: Rad Director of Transportation and Facilities Manager: “Big Hands” Mike Wolthuis One of the tallest people locally: Todd Schrotenboer Drama Coordinator: Reba Ezell Professional Elephant: Malachi VandeStreek Secretary of Luxurious Facial Hair: John Hendrikse Leader of Chicken Tender Rebel Alliance: Rachel Westra Probably Loves You: Josh Sterenberg Surf Dudette and Indiana Travel Consultant: Kelsie Schweir Show Chaplain and Cincinnati Reds Washout: Chuck Swanson Prom Date Consultant: Chuck Pothoven 24/7 On Call Home Repair Specialist: Josh Klomp Doesn’t like sand: Brady Howe Also apparently doesn’t like sand: Ben Kroeze

    Sand: Course, Rough, Irritating, and it Gets Everywhere

    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.

    A Legacy of Laughter and Love

    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. ===== RTBO HIGHLY PAID, DEEPLY SKILLED & COMPLETELY PROFESSIONAL CREW Hosts: Curt Copeland & Joel VandeKoppel Honorary Executive Producer & Show Founder: Mark Van Stee Strikingly Handsome Executive Editor, Managing Producer, SFX Coordinator, Staff Writer, Poet Laureate, Music Director & Host of Award-Winning Producer Notes Segment: Marc Vander Maas Executive Producer, Official Show Disciplinarian, and Crisis Communications Manager for When The Show Gets Too Embarrassing for the School: Aaron Meckes Instagram Coordinator and Director of the RTBO Institute for the Advancement of Poultry Science and Technology: Dr. Gabby Miller (M.S. in Sauce Integration & Chicken Strip Dynamics, Baylor University) Director, RTBO Foundation: Sandy Dobbs Bieber Stylist, Fashion Coordinator, Swag Manager, and Guy Who Gets Blamed For The Coupon Codes Even Though It’s Not Really His Fault: Taylor Johnson Art Director and Image Coordination: Morgan Ball Official Hunting Guide and Guy We’d Trust To Protect Us From The Predator, and Bringer of Juice: Bruce Huttenga Bald but Still Respected: David Kool Washington Correspondent: Teresa VanderSchaff Finance Director Frantically Trying to Cover the Immense Cost of All The Coupon Codes: Maelia Post GET TO DA CHOPPA: Arnold Schwarzenegger Official Totally Awesome Mid-80s BMX Bike-based Sports Drama: Rad Director of Transportation and Facilities Manager: “Big Hands” Mike Wolthuis Gotta be over 7’ tall: Todd Schrotenboer Drama Coordinator: Reba Ezell Professional Elephant: Malachi VandeStreek Secretary of Luxurious Facial Hair: John Hendrikse Leader of Chicken Tender Rebel Alliance: Rachel Westra Probably Loves You: Josh Sterenberg Surf Dudette and Indiana Travel Consultant: Kelsie Schweir Show Chaplain and Cincinnati Reds Washout: Chuck Swanson Prom Date Consultant: Chuck Pothoven 24/7 On Call Home Repair Specialist: Josh Klomp

    Tips for a Successful Prom Date

    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.

    Cincinnati, on the Ohio, Which Flows to the Mississippi, Which Is A River

    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. ===== RTBO HIGHLY PAID, DEEPLY SKILLED & COMPLETELY PROFESSIONAL CREW Hosts: Curt Copeland & Joel VandeKoppel Honorary Executive Producer & Show Founder: Mark Van Stee Strikingly Handsome Executive Editor, Managing Producer, SFX Coordinator, Staff Writer, Poet Laureate, Music Director & Host of Award-Winning Producer Notes Segment: Marc Vander Maas Executive Producer, Official Show Disciplinarian, and Crisis Communications Manager for When The Show Gets Too Embarrassing for the School: Aaron Meckes Instagram Coordinator and Director of the RTBO Institute for the Advancement of Poultry Science and Technology: Dr. Gabby Miller (M.S. in Sauce Integration & Chicken Strip Dynamics, Baylor University) Director, RTBO Foundation: Sandy Dobbs Bieber Stylist, Fashion Coordinator, Swag Manager, and Guy Who Gets Blamed For The Coupon Codes Even Though It’s Not Really His Fault: Taylor Johnson Art Director and Image Coordination: Morgan Ball Official Hunting Guide and Guy We’d Trust To Protect Us From The Predator, and Bringer of Juice: Bruce Huttenga Bald but Still Respected: David Kool Washington Correspondent: Teresa VanderSchaff Finance Director Frantically Trying to Cover the Immense Cost of All The Coupon Codes: Maelia Post GET TO DA CHOPPA: Arnold Schwarzenegger Official Totally Awesome Mid-80s BMX Bike-based Sports Drama: Rad Director of Transportation and Facilities Manager: “Big Hands” Mike Wolthuis He might be tall enough to require supplemental oxygen: Todd Schrotenboer Drama Coordinator: Reba Ezell Professional Elephant: Malachi VandeStreek Secretary of Luxurious Facial Hair: John Hendrikse Leader of Chicken Tender Rebel Alliance: Rachel Westra Probably Loves You: Josh Sterenberg Surf Dudette and Indiana Travel Consultant: Kelsie Schweir Show Chaplain and Cincinnati Reds Washout: Chuck Swanson
