    Ep: 230: Georgia vs. Missouri: Football, Friendship & a Bourbon Bet with Tyson Mutrux
    12 Nov 2026

    Missouri Tigers fan and fellow personal injury lawyer Tyson Mutrux returns to Sports ’N Torts for a conversation about college football, the SEC, and the upcoming showdown between his Missouri Tigers and my Georgia Bulldogs.

    With Missouri making the trip to Athens, Tyson and I break down both programs, discuss the job Eli Drinkwitz has done at Missouri, and explore what it takes for the Tigers to make the leap from a good SEC program to a legitimate championship contender. We also get into Missouri's transition from the Big 12 to the SEC, the historic rivalry with Kansas, and what makes college football fandom so unique.

    Our conversation goes well beyond Georgia and Missouri. We debate the future of the College Football Playoff, whether expanding to 24 teams would be good for the sport, the impact of NIL and the transfer portal, and whether college football is losing some of what made it special.

    One of my favorite parts of the conversation was an unexpected discussion about Nick Saban's coaching philosophy and the importance of focusing on the process rather than the outcome. Tyson shares lessons from his own mental performance coach, Jason Selk, and we connect those principles to practicing law, raising kids, and handling life's inevitable setbacks.

    Along the way, we talk about Missouri's place in the SEC, Kansas City and St. Louis sports, the Chiefs, and plenty of good-natured trash talk between two passionate football fans.

    We wrap things up with our Georgia–Missouri predictions, which happen to be the exact same score with opposite winners, and a friendly wager involving bourbon and some serious bragging rights.

    A fun conversation with a good friend about football, life, and everything in between.

  • College Football's Last Call Week 10 - Moving Day: Kirby Gets His Revenge and the Playoff Picture Takes Shape

    College Football's Last Call Week 10 - Moving Day: Kirby Gets His Revenge and the Playoff Picture Takes Shape
    10 Nov 2026

    It was Moving Day in college football. Just like Saturday at the Masters, contenders climbed the leaderboard, others fell out of contention, and the race for the College Football Playoff started coming into focus.

    And nobody made a bigger statement than the Georgia Bulldogs.

    Josh, Laurence and Jason are back for Week 10 of College Football's Last Call, breaking down Georgia's 42–7 demolition of Ole Miss in Oxford. Kirby Smart got his revenge, Mike Bobo was in his bag, Talyn Taylor announced his arrival, and Georgia's defense made life miserable for Trinidad Chambliss. The guys celebrate one of the most complete performances of the Kirby Smart era, discuss the ongoing special teams concerns, and have plenty to say about Ole Miss fans throwing trash onto the field.

    Around the country, the playoff picture took some major turns. Notre Dame knocked off Miami, Oregon handed Ohio State its third loss, Utah remained undefeated, Tennessee embarrassed Kentucky, and Alabama continued rolling while Lane Kiffin's LSU program raised more questions than answers. The guys debate whether three-loss blue bloods can still sneak into the playoff, which SEC teams are legitimate contenders, and what a potential 24-team playoff expansion would mean for college football.

    Looking ahead, Georgia prepares to host Missouri, with Josh revisiting his bourbon bet with Missouri attorney Tyson Mutrux. Laurence returns with another Sucker Bet of the Week, and Jason hands out Jimbo of the Week honors to the Ole Miss fan base.

    The leaderboard has changed, the playoff stakes are getting higher, and November college football is just getting started.

    Ep 228: The Tables Are Turned: A Crossover with The Bettis Musgrove Show
    5 Nov 2026
    It's a special crossover episode of Sports ’N Torts! This week, we're doing something a little different. Instead of hosting the conversation, Josh is on the other side of the microphone as a guest of his friends Ben Musgrove and Spencer Bettis on the Bettis Musgrove Show.Ben joined Sports ’N Torts last year, and the two have developed a friendship through their shared profession, golf, and a mutual belief in the importance of community relationships. After Josh encouraged Ben to lean into his passion for community involvement when developing his own podcast, the Bettis Musgrove Show found its identity as a platform highlighting the people, businesses, and stories that make their local community special. Now, the two podcasts are coming together to share this conversation with both audiences.The three discuss Josh's journey from growing up in Cobb County and attending the University of Georgia to beginning his legal career defending insurance companies before eventually transitioning to representing injured people and opening J. Stein Law Firm.The conversation explores what it means to build a law practice on your own terms, why bigger isn't always better, and the importance of resisting the temptation to measure success against what other attorneys are doing. They also discuss community involvement, the value of genuine relationships, and how podcasting has become an unexpected tool for networking, personal growth, and even becoming a better lawyer.And because this is a conversation among friends, there are plenty of detours along the way. Josh turns the tables and asks Ben and Spencer about their own backgrounds, their law partnership, and the evolution of their podcast. There are also stories about golf, family, books, and the personalities behind the microphones.At its core, this episode is about friendship, community, consistency, and defining success for yourself rather than letting others define it for you.A special thank you to Ben, Spencer, and the entire Bettis Musgrove Show team for the invitation, the hospitality, and the opportunity to share this conversation with the Sports ’N Torts audience.SHOW NOTESA special crossover episode! Josh joins Ben Musgrove and Spencer Bettis on the Bettis Musgrove Show, trading his usual role as host for a seat in the guest chair.How Josh encouraged Ben to find the community-focused direction for the Bettis Musgrove Show.Growing up in Cobb County, attending Walton High School, and spending seven years at the University of Georgia for undergraduate studies and law school.Beginning a legal career defending insurance companies, gaining valuable courtroom experience at Progressive, and eventually transitioning to representing injured people.Why Josh chose to build a smaller, more personal law practice rather than pursue a high-volume model.Defining success on your own terms and remembering that comparison is the thief of joy.The importance of being a hometown lawyer, supporting local schools and organizations, and building relationships within the community.Why genuine connections and word-of-mouth referrals remain so valuable in an era of expensive advertising and mass marketing.The origins of Sports ’N Torts, from Georgia football and the Braves' championship runs to more than 200 podcast episodes.Why consistency, enjoying the process, and meaningful conversations matter more than download statistics.How podcasting has helped Josh become a better lawyer by improving his listening skills, deposition techniques, and ability to connect with people.Lessons learned from interviewing hundreds of attorneys, entrepreneurs, athletes, and other interesting personalities.Josh turns the tables to learn more about Ben and Spencer, including how they met, became law partners, and built their firm.Spencer's military service, his recent deployment to Poland, and the challenges of balancing professional responsibilities with family life.The benefits and challenges of law firm partnerships compared with operating a solo practice.Golf stories, including Ben's remarkable ability to follow a terrible hole with an incredible shot.The evolution of podcasting, from scripted interviews and basic equipment to natural conversations and professional studios.Memorable Sports ’N Torts episodes, including some unexpected charitable fundraising efforts and live haircuts.Family, books, favorite meals, and the lighter side of life outside the practice of law.The value of friendship, community, and creating opportunities to support one another personally and professionally.As always, this episode is powered by the J.

    College Football's Last Call: Week 9 - Florida Has a Georgia Problem. Who Makes the First CFP Top 12?
    3 Nov 2026

    The Georgia Bulldogs own the Florida Gators. Eleven of the last fifteen. Nine of the last ten. Six straight. And this year's 27–8 victory was about as stress-free as they come.

    The boys are back for Week 9 of College Football's Last Call, celebrating another Georgia win over Florida while breaking down a dominant defensive performance led by Chris Cole, the return of KJ Bolden, and a few lingering concerns about Gunner Stockton, the offense, and special teams. With a huge road trip to Ole Miss looming, is Georgia starting to look like a championship contender?

    Around the country, Ohio State's playoff hopes take a major hit after losing to USC, Indiana somehow survives another wild finish, and No. 1 Miami escapes North Carolina. The guys also tackle the coaching carousel, questionable two-point conversion decisions, and the first College Football Playoff rankings—with a little help (and some questionable math) from ChatGPT.

    Then it's on to a loaded Week 10 slate, including Georgia at Ole Miss, Miami at Notre Dame, and Alabama at LSU. Laurence delivers his Sucker Bet of the Week, and Jason reaches deep into Georgia football history for a memorable Jimbo of the Week.

    Another Florida beatdown, another week of college football chaos, and another Last Call. Go Dawgs!

    Fortunately for Georgia fans, misery had plenty of company. Alabama gets hammered by Tennessee, Texas continues its downward spiral, Ole Miss looks dangerous, and top-ranked teams are falling across the country.

    Then comes the bigger question: Is college football ruining the very thing that makes it great?

    Ep 223: Full Courts. Open Minds: Jared Armstrong on Pro Basketball, Israel and Bringing Kids Together
    15 Oct 2026
    EPISODE SUMMARYWhat happens when five kids from five different backgrounds end up on the same basketball team? Suddenly, their differences matter a lot less than making the next pass, finding the open shot and figuring out how to win together.That's the idea behind what former professional basketball player Jared Armstrong is building.This week on Sports ’N Torts, Joshua Stein sits down with Jared to discuss his unconventional journey to professional basketball in Israel and how he's now using the game to bring young people together, combat hate and create opportunities for the next generation.Jared's path to professional basketball was anything but conventional. An undersized guard who overcame a congenital foot condition, he eventually made his way to Israel, where he navigated the challenges of obtaining citizenship, built a professional career and experienced the events of October 7 firsthand while living in Ashkelon.Today, Jared is focused on growing JAB, an organization that uses basketball to connect young people from different racial, religious and cultural backgrounds. Through JAB Courts, he has helped renovate 18 basketball courts in Israel, creating spaces where kids can play, build friendships and find a positive outlet.One of the most interesting initiatives is JAB's bar and bat mitzvah program, which gives American Jewish teenagers the opportunity to raise money to renovate basketball courts in underserved Israeli communities as part of their service projects. It's a unique way to connect young people across the world while creating something tangible that benefits entire communities.Jared also discusses the importance of supporting youth mental health, using basketball to help kids discover they have more similarities than differences, and involving professional athletes in spreading a message of unity. His inaugural JAB Classic brought together more than 40 former NBA players to compete for a $1 million prize in a tournament designed to combat hate.Josh and Jared also explore the business behind the mission, including fundraising, sponsorships, networking and the challenges of transitioning from professional athlete to entrepreneur. Jared shares how the relationships and reputation he built during his playing career continue to open doors today—a lesson that applies just as much to building a law practice as it does to building a business in sports.It's a conversation about basketball, relationships, opportunity and the power of sports to bring people together. Because sometimes the most important thing you can build through basketball isn't a winning team. It's a community.SHOW NOTESIn this episode:From Philadelphia to Professional Basketball in IsraelGrowing up in a military family and his father's experience at the Pentagon on September 11Learning basketball from his mother and growing up as an undersized guardOvercoming a congenital foot condition and the challenges of pursuing a professional basketball careerHis unconventional journey through college basketball and eventually to IsraelThe realities of playing professional basketball overseasNavigating Israeli citizenship and experiencing October 7 while living in AshkelonThe decision to return to Israel and continue his basketball careerBuilding Courts, Connecting Kids and Combating HateTransitioning from professional basketball to creating opportunities for the next generationHow JAB has helped renovate 18 basketball courts in underserved Israeli communitiesThe JAB bar and bat mitzvah initiative, which allows American Jewish teenagers to fundraise for basketball-court renovations in IsraelCreating meaningful service projects that connect young people and communities across the worldBringing Jewish, Black, Muslim, Christian and other young people together through basketball camps and educational programmingWhy five kids from different backgrounds can discover they have more similarities than differences when they become teammatesUsing basketball to support youth mental health and provide a positive outletRecruiting more than 40 former NBA players for the inaugural JAB Classic, featuring a $1 million prize and a mission to combat hateUsing the influence of professional athletes to promote unity and understandingReputation, Relationships and EntrepreneurshipFinding a new identity and purpose after professional sportsHow Jared's reputation and relationships from his playing career have helped him build JABWhy networking, trust and treating people well matter in sports, business and the practice of lawBuilding JAB Courts, JAB Camp and JAB ClassicThe challenges of fundraising, attracting sponsors and building a sustainable organizationLearning from financial setbacks and managing the pressure of an ambitious visionThe confidence required to ask people to invest in your ideasLearn More About Jared and JABJAB Courts: https://jabcourts.orgJAB Camp: https://jabcamp.comJAB Classic: https://jabclassic.comAs always, this episode is powered...
