On the December 15 edition of Y’s Guys, Dave and Blaine preview BYU’s upcoming trip to the Pop-Tarts Bowl, where the No. 12 Cougars will face No. 22 Georgia Tech on December 27. They compare quarterbacks Bear Bachmeier and Haynes King, break down Georgia Tech’s nine-win season, and review the viewership numbers from the Big 12 Championship Game — the most-watched BYU football broadcast in program history at 8.99 million viewers. The hosts also spotlight BYU’s postseason awards, including LJ Martin being named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and a Second-Team All-American, and Kalani Sitake winning both the Buddy Teevens Award and Big 12 Coach of the Year.

The show then shifts to basketball, where BYU is 9–1 and surging. Dave and Blaine recap the Cougars’ 100–53 demolition of UC Riverside, highlight monster performances from AJ Dybantsa (26 points) and Richie Saunders (19 points), and revisit BYU’s historic comeback win over Clemson — the largest second-half rally in program history. They preview the upcoming home games against Pacific and Abilene Christian and introduce their first guests of the night: Ace and Chelsea Dybantsa, parents of AJ, who joins them in-studio to share what the past six months have been like for their family, how BYU earned their trust, and how Kevin Young’s staff has delivered on every promise.

Next, the hosts welcome Kyla Ford, a lifelong BYU fan and recent BYU-Pathway Worldwide graduate, who completed a college degree while raising a young family. She shares how she discovered Pathway at the BYU library, how the program fit her life and finances, and how her degree in Marriage and Family Studies empowered her to start a nonprofit helping other mothers access educational funding. As a true Cougar, she closes by giving her three keys for BYU to beat Georgia Tech.

The episode also features the Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week, honoring AJ Dybantsa, who scored 54 points across two games, dominated Madison Square Garden, and became just the second Cougar ever to reach 200 points in his first 10 collegiate games. Dave and Blaine also announce the upcoming launch of CougarTribe, the new free community experience for BYU fans. The show closes with Campus Notes across women’s basketball, soccer, volleyball, and gymnastics, and the Y’s Guys Inspirational Quote of the Week from Walt Disney: “There is no magic in magic, it's all in the details.”
