EP 88: Philip Rivers, Chili Debate & The Perfect Holiday Lifting Split

Episode 88 of The Okay Podcast is pure chaos as the crew breaks down the Army–Navy game, Michigan’s coaching meltdown, and the most heated chili debate you didn’t know you needed.

They react to Michigan’s self-inflicted scandal, debate whether the program actually lost a great coach, and explain why this might be a rare reset moment for Big Blue.

The guys also talk holiday lifting splits, how to train smart when schedules fall apart, and why consistency matters more than perfection this time of year.

Add in college football tradition, service academy pride, unfiltered food takes, and classic Okay Podcast storytelling, and this episode goes everywhere fast.
