Breakfast of Champions

Hey champs—Parker is back! After a few episodes without him on the show, he’s returned, and it feels so right. Many of you have reached out about the Hormel x Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bacon, so we had to grab a pack to try. Rene fried it in a pan, like a real man should, and you'll have to tune in to hear our verdict. We also dug into a box of Monsters' Frightful Friends with all-new marshmallows!

We recorded this episode on Indigenous...

Thank you for joining us for this special coverage of UFC Fight Night: Royval vs. Taira. We are blessed to be joined by UFC fighter Abdul Razak Alhassan! He will be taking on Josh Fremd this Saturday at The Apex in Las Vegas, NV—their fight kicks off the main card at 6 PM CST. We can hardly believe we are lucky enough to interview a UFC fighter, let alone during a fight camp, so lock in for this one and share it with a friend or tw...

Champs—sorry for the delay! We had some technical difficulties behind the scenes. This episode was up for a few hours this morning, but we finished the edit, and we're back up!

Allie is Rene's wife, an ardent supporter of his creative endeavors and a great appreciator of breakfast foods. We discuss our favorite cereals while reviewing Oops! All Berries and the new Frosted Flakes with Marshmallows.

Allie has an uncanny ability to read...

Champions - have we got a banger of an episode for you!

First, we got our hands on a box of Kelce Mix from those wacky folks over at General Mills. The Kelce Brothers have a podcast of their own, and on it, they ranked their favorite cereals. Word got out, and they were able to combine some of their favorites into one awesome mix. We tried it and ranked it, as we always do.

Next, we celebrate the life and work of Bruce Willis while c...

This week, we found ourselves back at the Fort Worth Float Company with our friend and "third co-host," Kevan O'Malley, to preview Noche UFC this weekend! The 2nd annual Noche UFC celebrates Mexico and Mexican combat athletes and will be held at Sphere in Las Vegas.

We reviewed and enjoyed kolaches and klobasneks from Pearl Snap Kolaches in Fort Worth, TX. If you're a Texan, then you know all about what we're talking about. If you'r...

We know we promised you an episode with our third co-host, Kevan. However, life had other plans for us, so we're presenting a BoC classic episode with no real plans other than eating breakfast and enjoying one another's company. Fret not; we plan to have Kevan on again very soon.

I grabbed a box of Lucky Charms S'mores this past week and we gave it a shot on today's episode. Was it any good? Did they nail the s'mores flavor? You'll ...

To quote the great American athlete Hamilton "Ham" Porter, "You're killing me, Smalls..." It felt just like that moment a few times this week while Parker was struggling on this episode. I'm sure he was thinking that about Rene after what he put himself through for this podcast. If you've never seen The Sandlot, let us clue you in—this week we're talking BASEBALL!

Has the ad campaign for Krispy Kreme's limited edition Dr. Pepper don...

Fair warning, champs: this episode is messy, and some of the topics are hard to broach. There has been a fair amount of drama surrounding the grappling world, sketchy managers, and presidential endorsements. George Bernard Shaw once said, "Never wrestle with pigs; you'll both get dirty, and the pigs will like it." We say that to say this: all of our discussions are for entertainment purposes, and the accusations we discuss are alle...

Champs, the time has finally arrived! The voice you hear week after week at the top of our show, Jordan Kline, joins us to talk Brinner, Nic Cage, and Unspell lore. Find out what E. M. Franklin really is on this hilarious episode!

Brinner is the hybrid meal we all know and love—breakfast and dinner together. What’s your favorite Brinner meal? Hit us up at (682) 294-0101 or breakfastofchampspod@gmail.com and let us know!

Damn, Daniel! We're back at it again with another dope episode. This week, we dive into the martial art of Lethwei, rate and review acai bowls, and explore the musical genre of powerviolence. Plus, we're continuing our Top 5 action star film rankings by rating our favorite Jackie Chan films.

Our breakfast was delivered via DoorDash from Mamaka Bowls, and man, was it tasty! We're also linking a Spotify playlist curated just for you b...

Sorry for the delay this week, champs. One of your cohosts was out of commission for a minute. Enjoy this classic BoC episode with no guests, no breakfast reviews, and running on very little sleep. However, we dig deep into all sorts of things and get a history lesson from the Gracie family. Do you enjoy acai bowls for breakfast? Well, you have violence to thank for that! Learn with us, grow with us, and leave us a review or give u...

Thank you for joining us for another week of breakfast foods and violence! We return to our "third cohost's" place of business, Fort Worth Float Company. This time, we did a cold plunge before we recorded this episode. We have Rene's favorite donut from Krispy Kreme and attempt to recast a modern version of Blood Sport. We also dive into the current drama in MMA, preview the week's fights, and discuss our issues with Action Bronson...

Lead singer of Losing Grip, Skourge, Fugitive, and now Power Trip—Seth Gilmore joins us this week to shed light on his personal journey with both breakfast foods and violence. We learn more about where Seth comes from and hear about his recent trip to Thailand. What does a righteous rock star eat for breakfast while training Muay Thai in Thailand? Find out in this episode! Also, this is our first video episode, so if you want to wa...

This week, we took the show on the move to Ray's Burgers in Fort Worth, TX. Parker has taken over the counter and grill at Ray's, located at 1945 8th Avenue in the Southside neighborhood. If you're looking for a new lunch spot, come visit Parker from 11 am to 3 pm, Monday to Friday.

If you're into movies or cinema at all, this spot may be of particular interest to you because Parker has set up a TV/VCR situation there. When I arrive...

Happy Independence Day, champs! We take no days off here at Breakfast of Champions. We don't have a guest this time, but we do indulge in the GOAT cereal. In this episode, we discuss UFC 303 and introduce a new segment to the show called "#pullingout".

"#PullingOut" focuses on the fights and fighters that don't quite come together in combat sports. Will Conor return to the octagon? Will Iron Mike ever step into the ring again? We to...

This week, we're joined by Kevan O'Malley: friend, local business owner, and all-around interesting human. Kevan owns and runs Fort Worth Float Company, offering sensory deprivation flotation tanks, sauna, and cold plunge services. These tools are beneficial for recovery in performance athletes and provide a mental escape from day-to-day life. Kevan is also an Onnit certified instructor in several disciplines.

He holds a special pla...

Champs, we're back with another exciting episode—this time with our first guest! James Gray, a boxer, MMA fighter, coach, and activist, joins us to discuss his life. Coming from a large family and growing up in the small town of Weatherford, we hear about his love for both breakfast food and combat sports. We also review Sue's Donuts and Kolaches, also from Weatherford. Mr. Gray's son, Deshaun, is the current Bantamweight Champion ...
