Welcome back to Travis Take Two! Hosted by brothers Jordan Travis (FSU & NFL quarterback) and Devon Travis (FSU & MLB second baseman), this episode features Arizona State head coach Kenny Dillingham. Before Kenny joins, the guys break down Florida State's brutal 2024 season finale against Florida, the lack of fight they witnessed all year, and what it feels like to watch a program hit rock bottom after back-to-back magical seasons. They get real about the transfer portal era, NIL chaos, and why writing checks to Battle's End matters more than complaining on Twitter—before diving into their thoughts on coaching loyalty and what's broken in college football right now.

When Kenny hops on, the conversation turns into a masterclass in building culture and staying true to yourself. He shares his journey from FSU offensive coordinator to Auburn OC to becoming one of the youngest head coaches in the country at Arizona State—where he inherited just 38 scholarship players and transformed a 3-9 disaster into a Big 12 championship team in year two. Kenny opens up about the Lane Kiffin situation, why he turned down multiple job offers to stay loyal to his players, and what it really takes to lead young men through constant roster turnover. From that unforgettable Jordan scramble against Syracuse that changed everything in 2022 to why he doesn't even care about holding trophies, this episode is about authenticity, refusing to compromise your values, and remembering that helping people matters more than wins and losses.

Welcome back to Travis Take Two! Hosted by brothers Jordan Travis (FSU & NFL quarterback) and Devon Travis (FSU & MLB second baseman), this episode features World Series champion outfielder Justin Dean. Before Justin joins, the guys break down Florida State’s win over Virginia Tech, the reality of being 0–3 on the road, and what’s really at stake in a tough stretch at NC State and Florida. They zoom out into the bigger college and NFL picture—talking coaching rumors, quarterback futures, and why some stadiums just feel different—before rolling into their weekly picks segment presented by Martoccio Law Group.

When Justin hops on, the conversation turns into a masterclass in perseverance. He shares his journey from 17th-round pick grinding for years in the minors and winter ball to getting the call to L.A., making his big-league debut with the Dodgers, and becoming a World Series champion. Justin opens up about leaning on faith and family, what he learned from sharing a clubhouse with stars like Mookie Betts, and why baseball’s constant failure makes it the closest thing to real life. From the wild World Series wall-ball play everyone remembers to FaceTiming his mom with the words “we’re going to the league,” this episode is about staying ready, honoring the grind, and believing that patience plus preparation can change everything.

Welcome back to Travis Take Two! Hosted by brothers Jordan Travis (FSU & NFL quarterback) and Devon Travis (FSU & MLB second baseman), this episode features a special guest: their dad, Tony “Pops” Travis. The guys open up about Florida State’s tough loss to Clemson—what went wrong, why it hit so hard, and what the ‘Noles still have to prove in the upcoming stretch against NC State, Virginia Tech, and Florida. It’s part film-room breakdown, part therapy session, and a reminder that a season is defined more by how you respond than by a single game.

When Tony joins the show, the conversation turns deeply personal. He shares raw stories about raising a family of athletes, the early signs that Jordan had “it” at quarterback, and what it was like watching both of his sons suffer devastating leg injuries that changed the course of their careers. Together, they talk about faith, anger, chronic pain, discipline, and what it truly means to stay grounded when life doesn’t go to plan—reframing injuries, setbacks, and even FSU’s current struggles as speed bumps, not dead ends.

Welcome to Travis Take Two! Hosted by brothers Jordan Travis (FSU & NFL Quarterback) and Devon Travis (FSU & MLB Second Baseman), this episode features Ryan Goins, bench coach for the Los Angeles Angels and Devon's former teammate. Devon and Ryan discuss their journey from competing for the same position with the Toronto Blue Jays to becoming best friends, with the conversation covering the World Series, Ryan's coaching career, Mike Trout's greatness, and how competition ultimately strengthened their friendship.

Jordan delivers a passionate defense of Florida State football after their 0-6 start, arguing the real issue is a transfer-heavy roster lacking the loyalty previous generations built through adversity. He reflects on how struggling together created championship foundations, while today's college football has become "minor league NFL" where players chase money over building program history and brotherhood.

The episode touches on Brian Kelly's LSU firing, Lane Kiffin's future, Indiana's success, and gambling integrity concerns in sports. Devon pays emotional tribute to Ryan for supporting him during difficult post-baseball times, while Jordan offers perspective on injuries and keeping teammates inspired. They close with fan questions about favorite Seminoles and fixing NIL-era loyalty issues.

Welcome to Travis Take Two with brothers Jordan Travis (FSU & NFL Quarterback) and Devon Travis (FSU & MLB Second Baseman). This episode opens with candid discussion about Florida State's recent losses and the toxicity of social media. The hosts tackle how fan negativity on Twitter can impact mental health and why Jordan decided to delete his account. They emphasize separating your identity from athletic performance and the importance of protecting your peace.

The episode features Ahmmon Richards, former Miami Hurricanes receiver who broke Michael Irvin's receiving record. Ahmmon shares his experience with a career-ending injury and the identity crisis that followed. He offers honest analysis of Florida State's struggles, pointing to talent acquisition challenges in the portal era rather than coaching failures. The conversation also explores the intensity of the FSU-Miami rivalry and what drives that unique interstate competition.

The broader themes center on resilience, faith, and finding purpose beyond football. All three men reflect on their Palm Beach County roots and discovering new passions that reignite competitive fire. Through mutual respect despite rival allegiances, they demonstrate what it means to move forward after your sport is taken away and how family and community provide the foundation for healing.
