#484: Snake in the Helmet & 5 Questions | OBB Benched | You Drain It First

With only two shows to go before we give way to the Recap Shooooow... instead of rankings, hype or payrolls, we're talking about off-color jokes, impalements, snakes in your helmet, and machetes versus hatchets in the Publix parking lot... welcome to OBB Benched!Only two Benched episodes left before the real season takes over, and this one runs the gamut. Pat McAfee gets dragged for his Hall of Fame induction speech (and has to go apologize for it on Dan Patrick), a high school football player in Arkansas finds out the hard way that a cottonmouth snake had been living in his helmet for an hour, and a road rage incident in a Publix parking lot escalates into a genuine machete-versus-hatchet standoff. Naturally, the guys have opinions on who won.In between: the ongoing debate over the Food Gospel of Scoop (this week's entry involves canned tuna, boxed mac and cheese, and a very specific draining technique), a long detour into whether any snake can actually be a good pet, and the usual Five Questions round covering the best cheese for a grilled cheese, the phrase that's stuck with you for years, the sound that instantly spikes your heart rate, first kiss stories, and which sport actually produces the best all-around athlete.Orange Bowl Boys drops weekly, with OBB Benched as the companion show for everything that doesn't fit the main feed. Two more Benched episodes before kickoff — subscribe so you don't miss the season preview. OBB Benched is the offseason, off-topic companion show to Orange Bowl Boys, where no subject is off-limits and nothing is safe.00:00 Cold Open: Two Shows Left & Hall of Fame Recap01:05 Vinatieri & the Hall of Fame Roast Speeches02:12 Pat McAfee's Apology for the Jokes04:02 Biggest Crowds They've Ever Spoken In Front Of04:35 The Toughest Man Alive: Impaled on a Hiking Pole06:33 Shish Kabob Rankings07:26 The Food Gospel of Scoop12:17 The Great Dishwasher-Loading Debate13:59 A Snake Lived in a High Schooler's Helmet for an Hour16:43 Can You Actually Keep a Pet Snake?18:45 Florida Man: Machete vs. Hatchet in a Publix Parking Lot21:46 Uncle Rico Buys a Minor League Team22:23 New Sponsor: MyBookie23:57 Five Questions: Best Grilled Cheese25:09 Five Questions: The Phrase You'll Never Forget27:50 Five Questions: Sounds That Trigger Instant Fear30:05 Five Questions: First Kiss Stories34:07 Five Questions: Best Athletes Across Sports36:40 Show Title Vote & Sign-OffOBB Benched, Episode 484 is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, My Bookie and BeatinTheBookie.com. Roofing issues?
