Orange Bowl Boys: A Miami Hurricanes Podcast

The boys are back and this time they brought John Michaels in from Atlanta. No Scoop, but honestly? The energy did not miss. The episode kicks off with audio from UM President Joe Echevarria dropping what might be the boldest public statement a Miami administrator has ever made. This isn't your standard boilerplate university-speak — the man went on the record about college football's broken guardrail situation, basically told the ACC they're temporary, and said flat out that Miami is playing for the NEXT TV contract. Not the one they're in. The next one. Big Ten, SEC — you've been warned.From there the guys break down Phil Steele's preseason All-America selections and Miami has three of them — Malachi Toney, Mark Fletcher Jr., and Ahmad Moten. The Malachi debate gets fired up too. Is he or isn't he the most dangerous offensive weapon in college football? And how many touchdown passes does he throw this season? Rob's taking the over on 1.5.Then it's the Brendan Sorsby saga, which came to a screeching halt after the college football community basically united against Texas Tech in a way nobody has ever seen before. John Michaels breaks it down, and the guys go deep on whether the NFL should touch him, whether Cincinnati deserves heat for knowing about this for two years, and why the whole thing feels like an amusement park in Mexico with no guardrails.They also hit on the FSU parody bit that went viral on TikTok (hundreds of thousands of views), and wrap with a quick check-in on Miami baseball — JD ain't going anywhere, but next year is a big year.It's a packed one.

Instead of gambling QBs, recruitment culture or FSU failures... we're talking about nuts, taller boys, cyclists and spankings... welcome to OBB Benched!Tom Brady launched a coconut water brand called Good Nut, and the boys are not buying the bit. Peyton Manning could pull this off. Brady cannot. That's settled law.Coors Light dropped a taller boy — literally three cans in one — for the World Cup. The guys love the concept and immediately talk themselves out of it because by the time you get to the third beer in that thing, it's warm backwash. The Silver Bazooka, they called it.A viral German tourist has been documenting America for the first time and found Buc-ee's. He's leaving in a few weeks and will need medical attention. Also: the Naked Gun rabbit hole, Enrico Palazzo, and why cyclists in matching spandex are basically a tactical infantry unit invading your commute.From there it's a full five-question spiral: Did millennials figure out that spanking worked all along? What does your job train you to notice that you can't stop noticing? Who does the whole world love that you just... don't? (Jerry Seinfeld. George Clooney. The entire British Royal Family.) Bro code rules women don't know exist, including the firehouse alibi system and the guy with a secret Kelly day for seven years. And the moment you realized someone was genuinely scary smart — Elon putting data centers in orbit and Sean McVay's eidetic memory.Subscribe → orangebowlboys.com#OBBBenched #OrangeBowlBoys #Benched #TomBrady #GoodNut #CoorsLight #TallerBoy #WorldCup #FloridaMan #GoldenCorral #Cyclists #BroCode #FiveQuestions #ElonMusk #SeanMcVay #Podcast #CommenterPodcast #FunnyPodcast 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: nuts, taller boys, cyclists & spankings00:30 – Tom Brady's Good Nut coconut water brand02:30 – Why Peyton Manning could pull this off and Brady can't03:00 – Coors Light Taller Boy: the Wembanyama of beers04:30 – German tourist discovers Buc-ee's and American food06:30 – Naked Gun / Enrico Palazzo rabbit hole08:00 – Cyclists in spandex: the rant11:30 – The spanking study: millennials coming back around13:00 – Worst whooping you ever caught from your parents19:30 – Florida Man Randy McCall: 9 hours at Golden Corral25:00 – Five Questions begin25:00 – Q1: Something everyone secretly does but won't admit27:00 – Q2: What does your job train you to notice?30:30 – Q3: Who does the whole world love that you don't?34:30 – Q4: Bro code rules women don't know exist38:30 – Q5: The moment you realized someone was insanely smart41:30 – Episode naming session43:00 – Sign offOBB Benched, Episode 468 is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com. Roofing issues?

Scoop's somewhere out there gallivanting the globe again, so it's Toast and Ro holding it down from the Gables. And there's no shortage of material this week.The boys open with the Brendan Sorsby situation at Texas Tech — a retired judge dusted off from mothballs ruled that a QB who literally bet on his own games should suffer no consequences because, hey, he needs the camaraderie. The NCAA, an organization that spent decades barking like a Doberman, turns out to have no teeth. Or dentures, if you will. Pete Rose did the same thing and he's not in the Hall of Fame. Sorsby's getting $5 million. Make it make sense.Then it's all Canes. Miami opens the season as a 21.5-point road favorite at Stanford — and for once, that number actually fits. The boys break down whether this roster can cover spreads like that from week one, what the offense looks like under Darian Mensah and Shannon Dawson, and why the running back room somehow kept everybody. No portal exits. Zero. In this economy.They get into the Clemson trip (7-point favorites at Death Valley), the Notre Dame game (7-point dogs, but hey), CBS projecting Miami to spend the most time at No. 1 this season, and what it actually means for a program to play with expectations instead of just for survival. Plus the Ezekiel Anigbale quote that sums up Mario's culture in one sentence. And a quick baseball note — Blake Morningstar from Wake Forest is now your Friday night ace.Topics this episode:• Brennan Sorsby & the Texas Tech gambling ruling — what it means for college sports integrity• The NCAA as a toothless Doberman — decades of empty threats finally exposed• Pete Rose comparison and why the red line in sports has officially been erased• Miami opens at Stanford as 21.5-point road favorites — confidence check• Season win total set at 10.5 — Vegas math and what it says about the schedule• Clemson (7-point fav) and Notre Dame (7-point dog) — the two games that define the season• CBS projecting Miami as one of two teams spending the most time at No. 1• Returning snaps concern — Miami ranks 53rd — and why they're not worried• Darian Mensah, Shannon Dawson's offense, and the chameleon advantage• Running back depth: Mark Fletcher, Jordan Lyle, Gerard Pringle, Humphrey Wheatley — nobody left• Mario's culture — why recruits are turning down more money to be here• Ezekiel Anigbale's quote: "The bag isn't why we're here"• DJ Jacobs possibly flipping from Ohio State — recruiting update• Miami baseball secures Blake Morningstar as Friday night starter Subscribe & stay locked in → orangebowlboys.com#MiamiHurricanes #TheU #OrangeBowlBoys #CFB #CollegeFootball #MarioCristobal #DarianMensah #MarkFletcher #MalachiToney #BrennanSorsby #TexasTech #NCAA #Clemson #NotreDame #Stanford #ACC #NIL #CollegeFootballRecruiting #CanesSZNOrange Bowl Boys | Episode 467 is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 – Episode 467, Scoop-less in Seattle again03:30 – Shoutout: canescommandcenter.com / Max's depth chart site04:00 – Brennan Sorsby ruling: retired judge overrules the NCAA06:00 – The red line in sports — betting on your own team09:30 – The NCAA exposed: Doberman with dentures10:00 – Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire speaks on Sorsby's addiction11:30 – The "what about regular students?" question16:00 – Transition to the Canes17:00 – FSU's recruiting struggles / losing their softball star18:00 – Miami as 21.5-point road favorites at Stanford21:00 – Playing with expectations: this is the new normal22:30 – Season spreads: Clemson (fav), Notre Dame (dog), FSU24:30 – If Miami wins both Clemson & Notre Dame, they're winning a title25:30 – Vegas win total: 10.5 / ESPN SPI at 9.827:30 – CBS projects Miami spending most time at No. 128:30 – Malachi Toney and the roster mentality — no snowflakes33:30 – Returning snaps concern: ranked 53rd on offense34:30 – Offensive line breakdown: Samson Okon Yola, Jackson Katwa36:30 – Shannon Dawson's offense: chameleon, unpredictable38:00 – Running back room: Fletcher, Lyle, Pringle, Wheatley — nobody left39:30 – Culture: why players stay over better NIL offers40:30 – Ezekiel Anigbale quote: "The bag isn't why we're here"43:30 – Recruiting update: DJ Jacobs flirting with flip from Ohio State44:30 – Mario's trajectory and the 2001 talent comparison45:00 – Miami baseball: Blake Morningstar signed as Friday ace46:30 – Episode naming / outro47:30 – Iowa trip & Field of Dreams house tease49:00 – Sign offSubscribe and hit the bell so you never miss an episode.

Instead of video game covers, saving college sports or recruiting dominance... we're talking fanson the court, ass slaps, horrific drivers, insane neighbors and unjust arrests. Welcome to OBB Benched!The guys open on Game 1 of the NBA Finals and the fan who rushed the court to get a selfie with Victor Wembanyama — and got banned from every arena in the league for life without even getting the picture. This somehow becomes a debate about tiered punishments for court invasions and whether facial recognition will actually stop him from sneaking back in.From there it's 1994 flashbacks: the last time the Knicks led in an NBA Finals was June 17th, 1994 — the same night OJ Simpson's white Bronco was rolling down the 405 in the lower corner of every TV in America. The guys trade "where were you" stories that end up at the Challenger disaster and Mr. Witkowski's art class.The Sean Avery neighbor story spawns an entirely new word for the English language. A man who allegedly had his neighbor Venmo hookers to his house, call the cops, and then watched it backfire when Avery wasn't home — which leads to a bit about sending Toots and Eileen to your enemies. Welcome to twatting. The guys run with it for a while.Also in this episode: a deep dive on Popstroke (Tiger Woods' upscale putt-putt concept), Scoop's case for never making small talk with cashiers, Billy the Greatest Neighbor Ever who blows everyone's driveway twice a day and threw a party with "not too much weed," the best morning radio pranks that would never fly today, and a firefighter coworker who accidentally turned himself several shades darker via melanin peptides.Five Questions wraps it up: your name on one building or arena, the most undeniable celebrity in her prime, best prank you've ever pulled, the city with the worst vibes, and one word you'd get tattooed on your body.The episode title debate at the end is genuinely funny. "Toots and Eileen" won.Subscribe so you don't miss the next Benched drop.Find us everywhere: YouTube | Spotify | Apple Podcasts #OrangeBowlBoys #OBBBenched #NBAFinals #VictorWembanyama #NewYorkKnicks #OJSimpson #FiveQuestions #FloridaWoman #Costco #PopStroke #SeanAvery #FunnyPodcast #ComedyPodcast 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 — Intro — Welcome to OBB Benched 46600:30 — NBA Finals Fan Runs Court for a Wembanyama Selfie02:00 — Banned for Life — Is the Punishment Too Much?03:30 — Knicks' Last Finals Lead: June 17, 1994 / OJ Chase04:30 — Where Were You?

Nick Saban showed up to Congress, FSU's recruiting class lost its last blue chip to Wisconsin, and Miami just ripped another five-star out of Lane Kiffin's hands. Episode 465 of Orange Bowl Boys does not slow down for anybody.The boys open with a charity ad parody so good they play it twice — Florida State football, starring a walk-on long snapper named Chad and a kicker who's only there for the meal plan. For just 60 cents a day, you can help.From there it's all Miami. Malachi Toney just became the cover athlete for EA College Football '27, and the guys break down what that means for the program — the recruiting pitch, the national visibility, the cultural weight of having a kid from South Florida own the biggest college game on the market. Then comes the honest question nobody wants to answer: is a sophomore slump coming? Defensive coordinators know who he is now. The conversation on Cooper Barkate, Josh Moore, and whether this offense is actually deeper than last year's numbers will suggest is one of the better breakdowns they've done all year.Nick Saban in front of Congress goes exactly how you'd expect — the right message delivered by the absolute wrong messenger. The guys break down the NIL arms race, whether a hard salary cap actually fixes anything or just pushes the money back under the table, and why the Bernie Madoff reference is a lot more apt than anyone wants to admit.There's also a quick word on the Miami AD situation — the Yorkmark deal that was apparently done a month ago suddenly isn't. Toast called it. The guys react. Mark Fletcher's mom discovering her son on a billboard is everything. The guys have a whole campaign idea that honestly Miami should steal immediately.The back half gets into baseball — the NCAA tournament, the home field advantage debate, and a genuinely heated argument about whether pitchers have earned the right to celebrate strikeouts.Good show, boys.

Instead of QB rankings, watchlists or Lane Kiffin's BS ... we're talking about hot mics, sex tapes, hidden liquor and homoerotic tooth brushing habits... welcome to OBB Benched!The show kicks off with a pair of wild hot mic moments from the college sports world. First, LSU pitcher Devin Sheeran (yes, Ed's brother) gets flagged by the ESPN broadcast crew for his colorful vocabulary during a game. Then things escalate when a mystery voice during a Nebraska–Oklahoma State women's softball broadcast drops a phrase that no one can explain, no one can identify, and no one will ever forget. The ball sack lady remains at large.From there the boys pivot to the story of the week — a Michigan woman arrested at CVS who was found, during processing into jail, to have an unopened bottle of Cupcake Vineyards Pinot Grigio hidden somewhere it was never designed to go. The LinkedIn profile connection makes the whole thing ten times better. This spirals into a conversation about the most creative ways the guys have ever smuggled liquor into a sporting event (binoculars, Listerine bottles, questionable medical equipment), plus a legendary flashback to a long-lost figure known only as the Beeper Girl.Will Levis then enters the chat — his mom went on a podcast and shared that her son spent a significant amount of money trying to get his sex tape scrubbed from the internet. She also confirmed it didn't work. The guys have thoughts.Then, bafflingly, Bryce Harper went viral on TikTok for how he brushes his teeth. Specifically: he squeezes toothpaste directly into his mouth, then applies the brush. The OBB crew debates whether this is a one-time-only acceptable behavior or a full-blown character flaw.The back half of the episode is Five Questions, and this week's batch is a banger: something attractive at 18 that's embarrassing by 30, which military role you'd actually be good at, which animal species deserves the biggest legal settlement against humanity, the company that's lost you as a customer forever, and what's the single worst thing to hear right after waking up from anesthesia.No QB rankings. No watch lists.

Episode 463 of the Orange Bowl Boys is here and it does not disappoint. Before getting into any football, the boys kick things off with one of the more unexpectedly fascinating stories in recent memory — a friend who moonlights as a freight train-hopping hobo as part of what can only be described as the Hobo Illuminati. No, really. From bandanas full of nips to the logistics of sneaking onto freight trains for weeks at a time, this one goes off the rails (pun intended) in the best possible way.Once the boys finally settle in, it's a packed episode of Miami Hurricanes content. ESPN dropped their quarterback tier rankings for the upcoming season, and Cam Mensah lands exactly where he belongs — Tier 1A, the fourth-best quarterback in the country. The guys go matchup by matchup through the schedule, breaking down which opponents Miami should handle with ease and which ones (looking at you, Clemson on the road) deserve real respect.The conversation shifts to the On3 preseason top 100 players list, where five Hurricanes made the cut. Malachi Toney checks in at No. 5 nationally, Ahmad Moten at No. 27, and the boys make a strong case that Moten is a top-13 NFL Draft pick — not a late first-rounder. Mark Fletcher's No. 93 ranking gets the appropriate side-eye treatment. And the Malachi Toney discussion turns into a genuine deep dive on what it means to capture the imagination of an entire city, comparing his local impact to Hurricane legends of the past.Lane Kiffin shows up to collect his flowers — and not the good kind. His comments about Ole Miss beating Miami? Addressed appropriately. FanDuel opened Miami as a 6.5-point dog at Notre Dame for the November matchup, and the guys love every bit of it.Also on the docket: Canes baseball heading into the NCAA Regional in Gainesville without Cuvee, the SEC finally killing off its late-season cupcake games starting in 2027, the NIL-fueled chaos of an Eastern Michigan women's golf story that sounds made up but isn't, eighth graders intentionally repeating the grade for athletic advantages, and somehow — a full cookie review of Loli's Cookies inside Chow Pizza on State Road 84 in South Florida. #MiamiHurricanes #Canes #OBB #OrangeBowlBoys #CamiMensah #MalachiToney #AhmadMoten #MarkFletcher #CollegeFootball #CFB #LaneKiffin #NIL #CanesBaseball #HurricaneSeasonOrange Bowl Boys | Episode 463 is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Cold Open & Intro01:00 The Hobo Illuminati Story04:00 Hobo Logistics & What's in the Sack06:30 Sponsor Break / OrangeBowlBoys.com09:30 ESPN QB Tier Rankings — Mensah Is Tier 1A10:30 Schedule Breakdown by QB Tier13:30 Clemson on the Road & Death Valley Fears15:30 DJ Lagway Drops to Tier 14 — Living Dangerously17:30 On3 Top 100 — Five Hurricanes on the List19:30 Mark Fletcher & the Running Back Devaluation Problem21:00 Malachi Toney & His South Florida Cultural Impact25:30 Ahmad Moten Is a Top-13 NFL Draft Pick29:00 Sponsors and Partners30:30 Beating the Bookie — PGA Picks & French Open32:30 FanDuel Opens Miami at 6.5 Dogs at Notre Dame34:00 SEC Killing Off Cupcake Weekend in 202735:00 Loli's Cookies at Chow Pizza — A Full Review41:30 Lane Kiffin: The Kardashian of Coaching44:00 Canes Baseball — NCAA Regional in Gainesville45:30 Eighth Graders Repeating Grades for Athletic Advantage47:00 EMU Women's Golf NIL Story & College Sports in Shambles51:30 Episode Title Vote & Sign OffSubscribe and hit the bell so you never miss an episode.

Instead of epic recruiting, rosters or QB lawsuits... we're talking about overhyped fights, trash talk and cock fighting... welcome to OBB Benched!We kick things off with the Oregon State Beavers making headlines after signing Peteris Pinis to their basketball roster. The comment section was absolutely cooked, and we read the highlights. Then we pivot to the Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano fight — 17 seconds, $1 million payday, and a whole lot of disappointment for anyone who sat through it.From there we dig into the Edwin Diaz cockfighting scandal out of Puerto Rico. The Dodgers closer got tied up in social media posts promoting illegal cockfights, along with a couple of jockeys fresh off the Kentucky Derby. We break down why Michael Vick went to prison and nobody seems to care about the cocks, and somehow end up wondering where PETA stands on all of this.Jon Gruden pops up next — we played his clip talking about how Peyton Manning used to call out defensive backs' wives' names at the line of scrimmage as a psychological edge. Diabolical. We also get into Gruden's ongoing lawsuit against the NFL and whether Urban Meyer ever settled with that waitress.Then it's five questions time. Topics this week include: things that seemed like a huge deal as a kid but weren't (quicksand, Y2K, Segways, 3D TVs), the strangest thing you saw at college (mostly things we can't repeat on air), the coolest stadium or venue you've ever been to (Wrigley, Fenway, the old Yankee Stadium, Mercedes-Benz), the best recent piece of advice you've received (weed your garden, gratitude as a discipline), the male equivalent of lingerie (nobody had a good answer), and TV show endings that let you down — The Sopranos, Quantum Leap, Seinfeld, Ozark, and more.All that plus a brief Melissa controversy and the eternal question of what to name this thing.

CBS Sports just dropped their most complete roster rankings — and Miami came in at No. 6 in the country. Up from 15 last year. The boys break down what that means, whether this offense can touch Cam Ward's era, and where Darian Mensah fits into the conversation.On the recruiting front: two recent flips, A.J. Randall Jr.'s commitment timeline, and the ongoing linebacker depth question with two senior starters. Plus a deep look at whether the wide receiver room — with Cooper, Malley, and a loaded depth chart — is actually the best position group on the team right now.Then things go sideways, as they always do. A Texas Tech quarterback in court suing the NCAA for the right to play after betting on his own team. A 464-pound offensive lineman's brief NFL career. The UFL's empty stadiums. Canes baseball's pitching woes heading into the ACC Tournament. TSA's new weed policy and what that means for airport beagles. And someone named Coke Dog closes out the show.Classic OBB.

Instead of terrible kickoff times, bold predictions or punchable coaches... we're talking about airplane engines, injustice for wine moms and arguably the best name in the history of sports... welcome to OBB Benched!It's Monday, which means it's time for another episode of OBB Benched — where Orange Bowl Boys skip the football takes and just let things get weird. Episode 460 does not disappoint.The boys kick things off by celebrating the 21st anniversary of one of the internet's original great moments: Leeroy Jenkins. From there, things spiral in the best possible way.The week's scariest story lands next — the Denver airport incident where a man ran into a Frontier Airlines engine on the runway. The guys play the actual cockpit audio and break down the wild chain of events that followed, including theories about CIA black sites beneath Denver International and whether the whole thing was somehow escaped prisoners.Then it's a full deep-dive into the greatest, most ridiculous names in sports history. Zye Whitewoman's commitment to the Haskell Indian Nations leads to a list that includes Dude Person, Steve Houyouxfet, Chubby Cox, Harry Colon, Johnny Dickshot, God Shammgod, and a Clemson pitcher named Titsworth who absolutely owns every room he walks into.Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian went Instagram official this week, and the guys can't help but debate: who's the one celebrity you could never date based on their past? The car analogy gets deeply committed to. Tara Reid somehow ends up as the unanimous answer.A Tampa wine mom got arrested at a U8 girls soccer game for running an unlicensed wine stand — complete with a square card reader, a chalkboard menu, and a signature blend called Referee Tears. The boys are fully on her side. And a 26-year-old Florida woman was pulled over on I-95 at 3 AM while riding a shopping cart with a shower curtain sail. Captain Jessica Sparrow.Fire questions close out the episode: $50 fines for jerk behavior, the worst band you've ever seen live (Motley Crue gets absolutely torched), messages to alien civilizations, the greatest cake debate ever recorded, craziest things ever said on the show, and the adult version of "my mom said I can't go." Episode naming chaos closes it out, as it always does.Subscribe: youtube.com/@OrangeBowlBoysPodcast: Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you listen#OrangeBowlBoys #OBBBenched #MiamiHurricanes #CollegeFootball #ComedyPodcast #FloridaWoman #LeroyJenkins #SportsNames #GodShammgod00:00 – Intro & Leeroy Jenkins Anniversary02:30 – FSU & Norvell: "The Best Year of My Life"03:30 – Savannah Bananas at Truist Park05:00 – The Denver Airport Runway Incident07:00 – Cockpit Audio & Aviation Breakdown08:30 – Hartsfield Airport Rant10:45 – Greatest Funny Sports Names Ever14:20 – The Titsworth Story (Clemson Pitcher)15:30 – Kim K & Lewis Hamilton: The Mileage Debate18:00 – Who Could You Never Date?

The boys are back for episode 459, and the vibe is different this time around. Miami football isn't just on the radar anymore — they're the target, and it feels good.Kirk Herbstreit and Josh Pate have both gone on record calling the Canes a legitimate favorite to win the national championship. After 25-plus years of wandering in the wilderness, we're sitting here in May talking about Miami like it's 1987 all over again. Ro, Toast, and Scoop dig into what that actually means, whether to embrace the hype or pump the brakes, and why the "rat poison" framing doesn't even apply anymore.They break down the jaw-dropping roster valuation numbers — Miami is reportedly the second-most expensive roster in college football at an estimated $44 million, trailing only Texas. A big chunk of that? The Darian Mensah buyout, which turns out was a very expensive transaction. Also in the mix: what role UHealth plays in all of this, why the old "eat what you kill" mentality under Donna Shalala is likely gone, and what it means for the program's financial future.On the recruiting front, Mario flipped five-star corner Dante Wright out of Georgia, and the guys react to the Kirby Smart trolling that inevitably came with it. They also get into the Mark Matthews situation — the top-rated offensive tackle in the country, his decision timeline, and whether Miami can sell him on playing the right side while Cantwell holds down the left. And yes, losing Bob to Notre Dame stings a little.Lane Kiffin found the spotlight again — this time via a Vanity Fair interview where he threw Ole Miss under the bus on his way out the door. The crew takes him apart, runs through his absolutely chaotic career timeline from getting fired by Al Davis to being dropped from a team bus at 3am at LAX, and debates whether LSU finally gets a return on their investment.FSU comes up too, because it always does. The Norvell buyout is still somewhere between $45-51 million, the program is in genuine trouble, and there's apparently a faction of FSU fans lobbying to bring in Manny Diaz as the next head coach. The guys can barely contain themselves.Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss an episode.

Instead of AD drama, playoff expansion, or post-Spring rankings... we're talking about crazy airline incidents, grown men crying, and beat reporters cooking GMs... welcome to OBB Benched!We kick things off with the United Airlines plane that clipped a bakery truck on the Jersey Turnpike — and the real question nobody's asking: did the driver pass his drug test? Then a Delta flight out of Miami gets turned around on the taxiway because one woman refused to hang up her phone, delaying the whole plane two hours. The boys have thoughts. Strong ones.From there it's on to a cruise ship hantavirus outbreak in Cape Verde — perfect timing since Ro is getting on a boat in July — followed by the single greatest NHL press conference clip we have ever heard. The beat reporter for the Toronto Sun showed up to the Toronto Maple Leafs GM introduction and absolutely cooked the new hire to his face, with the GM sitting right there at the table. "That's it?" That's it.Then there's the JP Morgan lawsuit, where a former employee is claiming his female boss used promotions and perks to keep him as a personal sex slave. The story went from true, to false, to true again with two new witnesses — and JP Morgan apparently tried to settle for a million before it hit the courts. The boys are on Team Guy.We wrap up with Five Questions: worst fast food chain at their own signature item (Arby's roast beef is rubber, fight us), small luxuries worth every penny, the scariest thing that's ever happened to you (one of the guys nearly took an AK-47 to the face on a SWAT call and didn't even know it), favorite rage songs, and what a man should smell like.

Episode 457 of the Orange Bowl Boys is here — and the guys wasted zero time finding the plot. We open on a revelation that should have been impossible: Fuddruckers is still open. Five locations in South Florida alone. The guys spend a solid chunk of the cold open working through the stages of grief on that one before pivoting to everything that actually matters heading into the 2026 season.AD Dan Radakovich is out six months early, and while the guys are fully behind whoever's calling the shots at The U, they dig into what the move probably means — and why the next person in that chair needs to be built for the NIL era, not the one before it. Miami just came off a playoff run and the brand is at an all-time high. That job posting is going to look very different than it did five years ago.On the field, the guys are fired up. Brad Crawford at CBS Sports has Miami sitting at #1 in his post-spring top 25. The Mensah/Fletcher quarterback-running back duo landed second in the country, right behind Ole Miss and right ahead of Arch Manning and Texas. The running back room is being called the deepest in college football — and the guys point out that guys who aren't even getting mentioned right now (Pringle, Lyle, Marty) would be outright starters at half the ACC.Conference realignment talk is back, this time with a scenario floating Miami and Florida State to the Big Ten while the SEC absorbs Duke and UNC. The guys break it down, debate whether the ACC/Big 12 merger makes any sense, and have some strong opinions about what Fox would do if Miami and Ohio State landed in the same conference.On the lighter side: F1 Miami prices (the $150 Golden Glizzy is a real thing that happened), a genuinely wild Kentucky Derby recap involving two brothers, Vinnie Viola's horse, 18 of 19 descendants of Secretariat, and one of the guys admitting to his wife after 29 years together that he refuses to watch horse racing live. Baseball wraps things up with a quick look at the stretch run, Daniel Cuve's back injury, and a brief history of Tommy John surgery.Orange Bowl Boys | Episode 457 is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 — Welcome to Episode 45703:00 — Breaking: Fuddruckers Has 5 South Florida Locations Open06:00 — Dan Radakovich Forced Out 6 Months Early — Drama or PR?09:00 — ACC Loyalty, Conference Realignment & The Writing On The Wall10:30 — Conference Championships Going Away: 24-Team Playoff Talk15:00 — Mensah & Fletcher: Second-Best QB/RB Duo in the Country17:00 — Miami Ranked #1 Deepest RB Room in College Football19:00 — CBS Sports Has Miami #1 in Post-Spring Top 2519:30 — Notre Dame Gets 5.5 Points in November.

Instead of new ADs, Draft aftermath or failed FSU quarterbacks... we're talking about ABS challenges for free pizza, insane lottery luck and the world's largest desserts... welcome to OBB Benched!The boys are back on the bench for Episode 456, and this week things go completely off the rails in the best way possible. It starts with a quick Vrabel update — yes, he missed most of the NFL Draft for family counseling, and yes, the guys have thoughts. Lots of them.Then things get delicious. A Cincinnati Reds pitcher delivered one of the best moments in recent sports history when he struck out his 11th batter of the game to unlock free pizza for every single fan in the stands — courtesy of LaRosa's Family Pizzeria. The crowd reaction is something else.From there the guys stumble into a full-blown pie ranking debate after a massive tiramisu story: 100 Italian chefs in London just broke a Guinness World Record by assembling a tiramisu stretching 1,445 feet long. That leads to a passionate argument about Bob Roth's New River Groves blueberry pie, whether tiramisu is actually elite, and what everyone's all-time favorite pie is.The second half of the show is all fun questions — who would you be CEO of, which celebrity does everyone find attractive but you don't (Selena Hayek takes a shot), worst muscle cramp locations, old-school board games, and the best Christmas toy you ever got. ColecoVision and the original NES are both on the table.It's a classic Benched — no football, no structure, zero apologies.Subscribe to the new OBB newsletter at orangebowlboys.com and get the latest Canes news, recruiting updates, the latest from our Canes staff and more! 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 — Intro & Vrabel Missed the Draft04:00 — Cincinnati Reds Strikeout Pizza Challenge05:00 — Pizza for Everybody (The Crowd Goes Nuts)07:00 — World Record: 1,445-Foot Tiramisu in London09:00 — Is Tiramisu Actually a Top-Tier Dessert?09:30 — Bob Roth's New River Groves Blueberry Pie13:30 — Five Questions Begin13:45 — Q1: CEO of Any Company — What Do You Pick?15:30 — Q2: Celebrity Everyone Finds Hot But You Don't17:30 — Flip It: Who's Secretly Attractive?

Dan Rad is stepping away, nine Hurricanes just got drafted, and Miami fans somehow found something to complain about anyway. Par for the course. The boys are back with a loaded episode 455. First up — the Dan Radakovich era is officially closing and the name circulating for Athletic Director is Michael Yormark, the guy with the Rock Nation resume and a twin brother running the Big 12. The crew breaks down what kind of AD Miami actually needs right now (hint: less CEO, more CMO/CFO hybrid), and why the NIL fundraising job matters a whole lot more than the traditional stuff. Then it's full draft recap mode. Nine Hurricanes taken — Francis at 10, Reuben Bain at 15, Akeem at 22, Carson Beck, Markel Bell, Jacoby Thomas, Kete Scott, Cooper and CJ Daniels all hearing their names called. The guys go pick by pick on landing spots, who's got a real shot to start early, and why CJ Daniels to the Rams might be the sneaky best placement of the whole class. Plus — the Reuben Bain viral draft moment (he walked right past the mirror and didn't even stop), the Arizona Cardinals calling the wrong number on their third overall pick, Mark Matthews and the Texas A&M recruiting drama, and the Brendan Sorsby situation at Texas Tech — a gambling addiction story that had Miami all-in before the wheels came completely off. Bullet very much dodged. LIV Golf is on life support, Dral Novak is enjoying his week at Doral, and the show wraps on a debate about a Spiderman thermos that somehow ends in the episode title.

Instead of Canes in the Draft, epic Spring Game showings and veiled Manny Diaz shots... we're talking about parachuting accidents, weiners in the air and weiners at the prom... it's OBB Benched!The boys are back and this week we're skipping the NFL Draft talk and spring game analysis to get into the REAL stories of the week: parachuting disasters, wieners in the sky, wieners at the prom, and a press conference apology that raised more questions than it answered.Coach Mike Vrabel finally addressed the media this week following ongoing speculation about his personal life, and the guys break down his "positive and productive" press conference — including who actually gets that apology, and how the New England Patriots remain the most scandalous franchise in NFL history (from murder to deflate-gate to massage parlors, it's all there).Then — did you see the Virginia Tech Spring Game? A parachutist carrying the American flag got blown off course and ended up tangled at the TOP of the scoreboard. The game was delayed. A 75-foot ladder truck showed up. It was five feet too short. The guys walk through the whole chaotic scene and debate whether the game should have just continued anyway.In "wiener" news (yes, plural): The Finnish Air Force has grounded pilots for using their flight radar to draw giant penises in the sky — and the boys have thoughts on Finland's Air Force in general. Plus: a group of Kansas high schoolers from a school called Seamen High School took the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile to their senior prom. Absolutely perfect.The episode closes out with Five Questions — covering the worst addictions, things the guys can no longer do, kidnapping code phrases, places that didn't feel real, and the Mount Rushmore of Animated Movies (Lion King, Toy Story, Avatar, and some very heated debate about Tangled, Finding Nemo, and Grandma's Boy).Topics covered this week:• Mike Vrabel's press conference and the latest on his personal scandal• Why the New England Patriots are the most scandalous franchise in NFL history• Virginia Tech Spring Game parachutist disaster — hanging from the scoreboard• Finnish Air Force pilots grounded for drawing penises on flight radar• The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile takes Seamen High School students to prom• Top Gun 3 update — is it happening?

Instead of Draft stories, win projections and recruiting dominance... we're talking about kissing brothers, taxidermied gators and Japanese chair racing! Welcome to OBB Benched!We kick things off with the Diana Russini saga: the NFL reporter who resigned from The Athletic before they even finished their investigation into allegations surrounding her and Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. We break down what we know, what the rumors say, and why quitting mid-investigation might tell you everything you need to know. Plus — the boys let AI have a little too much fun with this one.Then things go completely off the rails. A Florida couple gets arrested for strapping a roadkill alligator to their car roof on I-95 en route to a taxidermist — and that somehow leads to a full-blown confession about a stuffed family poodle named Scruffles and a frozen cat named Octavius who spent a long weekend next to the Eggo waffles. You've been warned.From there, we tackle the Detroit Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown admitting his dad made him and his brother kiss on the lips to end arguments, which opens the floor for a deeply personal and increasingly uncomfortable family discussion.And of course, we wrap up with Five Questions, our weekly segment guaranteed to produce at least one answer that can never be unheard:The worst song lyric of all time (Yellow Submarine, Tubthumping, and Lucy in the Sky all get dragged)The worst dating advice you've ever received (including one piece of stepfather wisdom involving the word "wrong")The most cursed jersey brand combinations (OnlyFans + Jiffy Lube + Gray's Taxidermy makes an appearance)The cringiest tattoo + location combo possibleWhat your legendary personal weapon would be — and what you'd name itIt's chaotic, it's unhinged, and Scruffles haunts every minute of it.Subscribe so you never miss an episode of OBB Benched.

Episode 451 of the Orange Bowl Boys is here — and the 'Canes might be about to make NFL Draft history. For the first time in recent memory, Miami is projected to have FOUR first-round picks: Ruben Bain, Francois Ekwoge, and possibly Keaon Thornton and CJ Scott. We break down what that means for the program, what it says about Mario Cristobal’s recruiting machine, and whether Reuben Bain’s trending news is actually going to affect his draft stock (spoiler: probably not).We also dig into Carson Beck’s NFL ceiling — is he a stealth starter or a high-end backup? The coordinators signed extensions and this program just hit a level of stability that’s rare in college football. We name the most stable programs in the country and ask: who’s the most vrabel?Plus: the Spring Game is this Saturday (no TV, but Abe’s got us), a 6’9” 370 lb JUCO mountain joins the offensive line room, Miami Baseball is collecting mid-season awards like Pokémon, and the basketball portal class is quietly looking good.TOPICS THIS WEEK:•   Miami possibly producing 4 NFL first-round picks for the first time in program history•   Reuben Bain trending — breaking down the 2024 accident report and draft implications•   Carson Beck’s NFL draft range and ceiling as a pro quarterback•   Coordinators Dawson & Heather Minnis sign extensions — program stability analysis•   Spring Game preview: who to watch, what matters, and why there’s no TV coverage•   Jacob Hawks — the 6’9” JUCO offensive line addition that looks like The Mountain from Game of Thrones•   Top 2027 RB recruiting buzz: the ‘Law Firm’ looking Miami’s way•   Miami Baseball mid-season awards: Jake Ogden, Derek Williams, Golden Spikes Watch List & more•   Basketball portal additions from Villanova and Georgia•   Welcome to new OBB campus correspondent Abe Isaacson!•   NFL Draft challenge at TheScreenplayPodcast.com — win $250 or a trip to any golf tournamentSubscribe & leave us a review wherever you listen! Orange Bowl Boys | Episode 451 is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Cold Open — Show 451 Intro & Episode Tease00:30 Coordinators Dawson & Heather Minnis Sign Extensions01:30 Is Miami the Most Stable Program in the ACC?02:30 Introducing the OBB Word of the Week: “Vrabel”03:30 Welcome New OBB Campus Correspondent: Abe Isaacson!05:30 NFL Draft Challenge at TheScreenplayPodcast.com07:30 Masters Recap & Rory McIlroy’s Win09:00 Miami’s Historic Draft Class — 4 Potential First-Round Picks09:30 Reuben Bain Trending: Breaking Down the 2024 Accident Report12:30 Will This Cause a Draft Slide?

Instead of Spring practice hype, high profile recruits or college football rules ... we're talking about reporters canoodling with coaches, teleporting FEMA officials and the Weiner Wallet... welcome to OBB Benched!Episode 450 is a special one — and it has absolutely nothing to do with college football. This week the guys dive headfirst into the Diana Russini / Mike Vrabel situation: Page Six photos, poolside hand-holding, a hot tub, and a trip down internet memory lane that surfaced some truly wild old clips. From calling herself a MILF on a DC morning radio show, to casually announcing on national TV that she did things in Miami she never told her husband about, to publicly calling her husband "average" — the internet has been busy.Then things get weird. The Artemis moon launch leads to a CNN kid dropping an all-time live TV moment, followed by the greatest moon landing conspiracy rant ever recorded — delivered by what can only be described as someone's very loud Italian father from New Jersey. You'll hear him. You'll understand.From there: Congressman Matt Gaetz's UFO briefing about alien-human hybrid breeding programs. A FEMA official who claims he was teleported 40 miles and ended up in a ditch outside a Baptist church on his way to Waffle House. Landline phones at Augusta National. And whether anyone actually knows their family's phone numbers anymore.To close it out, the Madison Mallards unveil the Wiener Wallet — a single hot dog holster with a condiment pouch — and a Milwaukee news team absolutely cannot hold it together covering it. Then it's Five Questions: wild animal pets (tiger vs. honey badger vs. gorilla), the male version of receiving flowers, 80s trends worth bringing back, a film you'd want to see again for the first time, and the most oddly specific things your pets do.Greg is a blackout drunk. You're welcome. Benched is the off-season companion show to Orange Bowl Boys — same guys, zero college football, maximum chaos.OBB Benched, Episode 450 is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Intro00:30 Diana Russini Saga03:30 2015 Redskins GM Affair Accusation Resurfaced04:30 Old Russini Clip: "Introduce Me as a MILF"05:30 "Things I Did in Miami I Never Told My Husband"06:30 "I'm Married to Someone Average" — The Get Up Clip08:00 The Saxophone / "Lick the Reed" Clip11:30 Artemis Moon Launch — CNN Kid's All-Time Live TV Moment13:00 The Loud Italian Father's Moon Landing Rant15:30 Matt Gaetz on Alien-Human Hybrid Breeding Programs17:30 The Teleporting FEMA Official (Greg)18:30 Augusta National Landlines — Do You Know Anyone's Number?22:00 Who Owns Your Childhood Home Number Now?23:30 Madison Mallards Wiener Wallet Unveiled26:00 The Bat Flip Burger27:30 Five Questions — Q1: Wild Animal Pet29:30 Q2: Male Version of Receiving Flowers32:00 Q3: 80s Trend to Bring Back33:30 Q4: Film to Watch Again for the First Time36:00 Q5: Oddest Pet Ritual41:30 Show Title Vote — "Greg Is a Blackout Drunk" Roofing issues?

Israel Abrams — the 24-0 QB from Illinois who's never lost a game — commits to Miami live on the Pat McAfee Show, and the boys break down why he could be the next Nico Collins. Then the crew digs into the chase for Jalen Brewster, the #1 overall recruit in the 2027 class, currently committed to Texas Tech — and why Miami just might be able to flip him.Spring practice is heating up. Malachi Tony is rocking #1 and coming in with a chip on his shoulder. Mensa and D-Dog are already finishing each other's sentences. And the receiving room? Disgustingly deep. The guys debate whether this is the deepest Miami team in 20 years, break down the offensive line question nobody actually needs to worry about, and explain why the defense will need to find a new identity without Reuben Bain and Meador.Plus: the NCAA drops a bombshell new age-eligibility rule (5 years from your 19th birthday, no exceptions), the Trump executive order on transfers, and what it all means for portal strategy going forward.Off the field: one of the guys just got back from Augusta National for the Masters with Andrew Novak, and his behind-the-scenes report — $14 for two sandwiches, drinks, and two cookies; four egg salad sandwiches total; no phones; immaculate restrooms — is something else entirely.Also in this episode: the show title bracket champion is crowned, a Kia Telluride gets a very creative modification, and someone finds their hat inside an Easter Bunny costume a full year after losing it. Orange Bowl Boys | Episode 449 is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Intro00:30 Where's Scoop Been? 02:00 The Kia Telluride Hidden Arrow03:30 Paul Bange Hat Returns!07:00 OBB Blog Recap08:00 March Madness Show Title Bracket Champion10:30 Israel Abrams Commits to Miami (Pat McAfee Show)15:30 Mensa & Malachi Tony — D-Dog Connection & #1 Jersey17:00 Mario Cristobal Riding the Tight Ends in Practice18:00 Bryce Fitzgerald on Mensa20:30 Wide Receiver Room Depth21:30 Why You Never Worry About the O-Line24:00 Jalen Brewster — Chasing the #1 Overall Recruit26:00 David Wilson as D-Line Alpha / Deepest Team in 20 Years29:00 Defense Identity Shift Without Bain & Meador31:00 Sponsors and Partners33:30 Andrew Novak at the Masters — Behind the Scenes37:00 Augusta Deep Dive — No Phones, $14 Food, Green Jackets41:30 NCAA Age Eligibility Rule Explained42:30 Trump Executive Order on Transfers45:00 Show Title Vote47:30 Outro & Big Interview Teaser Roofing issues?

Welcome to OBB Benched!We open with the jokes about going back to the moon, which launches us into the moon conspiracy corner about whether or not we've actually been there. Kristi Noem's husband also gets a nod about the cross-dressing allegations this week, and the memes have been out of control.The story of the week is about coked up sharks roaming the Caribbean, which leads us to a debate about what animal we would not want to face.when hopped up on drugs. And hilarious audio from a=another idiot who lied to a judge about driving while in Zoom court, which allows us to revisit our all-time favorite morons in court.And Roman closes it with a round of Five Questions... including what you're saying to the world when you step out of the moon lander, rules we follow for no logical reason, our comfort foods, things that seem like they should be an April Fool's joke but aren't, and This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Welcome to Benched 00:31 Moon Parking Lot Jokes 03:45 Did We Land Debate 08:48 Kristi Noem Husband Scandal 11:01 Cocaine Fueled Sharks 14:32 AI Reality Check Claude 16:01 Idiot In Zoom Court 19:34 Question1 - Moon Quote 21:10 Question 2 - Weird Rules23:51 Question 3 - Famous in 200 Years26:37 Question 4 - Comfort Food Confessions 28:38 Question 5 - April Fools But Real 31:35 Naming the Episode 33:37 Wrap Up and Sign OffRoofing issues?

We open the show by talking about the upcoming Spring Game which is already sold out - even though it's only at Cobb Stadium, which doesn't seat all that many people. As we get down to Greentree, the question is could Miami have hit lightning twice with Wingo coming in and a freshman and turning so many heads? Scoop also interrupts Greentree for real estate story time, where he got to singing at a recent showing that led to re-releasing all of his band's old music on a bunch of platforms. (The band's name is Releese if you want to find them!)Roman also tweeted out this week that Miami is in "reload season" and as we look down the line-up of guys getting drafted compared to all the new guys coming in, it's impressive how much they've been able to sustain compared to how much they lost. And that speaks to the new culture they've built in Miami, especially seeing guys who are headed to the pros come back to work with the new guys at Spring practice. Plus we showcase a little of Mario's appearance on Josh Pate's show, speaking on when the season changed for Miami last year, and how the guys feel it will change going into this year.And as we get further down the depth chart, the discussion about Judd rising up to the 2 spot at QB takes over, with what to expect from Dereon going forward and what it means for his future in Miami. We also hear from Cooper Barkate, who while training in LA talked about the wild transfer process from Duke while Mensah was getting sued. Toast also shines the spotlight on some of the standout freshmen making a name for themselves at Spring practice.Audio of the week comes to us from the WILD UConn comeback and upset over Duke, as we play both the UConn call (which was awful) and the Duke call (which was borderline hilarious), spinning us into a debate who reigns supreme in Toast's fandom. And the hilarious moment at the Elite Eight where the shot clock horn got stuck.This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease,and BeatinTheBookie.com.Go to https://surfshark.com/canes or use code canes at checkout to get 4 extra months of Surfshark VPN!00:00 Spring Game Sold Out 02:54 Recruiting Weekend Buzz 03:21 Freshman WR Expectations 05:22 Receiver Room Depth 06:51 Music Goes Streaming 12:09 Back to Reload Season 13:52 NIL Culture and The Bag 17:38 Mario on Josh Pate Clip 19:32 Offense Mix and Run Game 22:09 Late Bloomers and QB Depth 24:46 Cooper’s Miami Move 25:31 Camp Standouts Talk 26:33 Partners and Sponsors31:54 Back to Greentree Recruits 32:41 March Madness Chaos Clips 37:02 UConn vs Miami Fandom Debate 40:22 Horn Delay Comedy 43:00 Remaining Titles in the Bracket 44:54 Final Bits and SignoffRoofing issues?

Instead of Spring Ball, Pro Days or March Madness... we're talking about Pickleball brawls, the saga of Afroman, and quadruple amputee cornhole players with homicide allegations... Welcome to OBB Benched!We start with the saga of Afroman, who sued an entire police department and then roasted them on the Internet. Everyone chimes in on how much we love the story, and how funny it was that Afroman was most pissed about the cops stealing his mom's lemon pound cake!From there we get into the wild story about the pickleball brawl at a Florida seniors community, involving a golf cart chase and an alligator, which leads us into stories about the dumbest fights we've ever gotten into. And hands-down the craziest story of the week about the quadruple amputee who allegedly shot an acquaintance then drove away, which ends in absolute hysterics.As always Roman closes out the show with Five Questions - which include our favorite Chuck Norris jokes, how we feel about the new Ruth's Chris dress policy, the job we would never do for $10 million a year, one thing we wish we found in our attics, and who we would trust to arrange a marriage for us.This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 OBB Benched Intro00:46 Afroman raid backstory 01:51 Lemon pound cake diss 05:51 Battle Hymn parody 10:39 Florida pickleball brawl 13:32 Stupidest fight stories 17:15 Amputee cornhole murder case 21:26 Question 1 - Favorite Chuck Norris Jokes22:35 Question 2 - Ruth's Chris Dress Code23:38 Your Own Dress Rules 25:35 Question 3 - Jobs Not Worth 10M29:57 Question 4 - Attic Treasure Finds31:43 Question 5 - Arranged Marriage Picks35:17 Naming The Episode and Wrap UpRoofing issues?

We welcome Scoop back to the show after a week in Mexico with tales from Cartel Beach about tequila and fighting TSA lines on his way home, including a wild story about how he missed his flight back to South Florida. Then we get down to Greentree to talk about Miami's amazing pro day, including Kieonte Scott going beast-mode and impressing the entire country. We're also excited to see how it all plays out on Draft night, and where the Canes land in the first round.And Spring practice is officially underway, and everyone was most impressed with Dereon Coleman and the way he's slinging the ball early in practice. Josh Pate also has high praise for the way Mario runs his practices, and how brutally physical they are, and how the rest of college football wishes they could pull that off at their schools. Scoop also weighs in on the projected two-deep projections and how deep the wide receiver room is this season.We also enjoy TCU head coach Sonny Dykes absolutely destroying his former QB Josh Hoover, who signed a $2 million deal with Indiana. And we also have huge props for Jai Lucas after an amazing season of Miami basketball comes to an end in the round of 32, which also spins us into the debate whether or not Michael Jordan will come back to coach North Carolina. This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease,and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Cartel Beach Banter 01:42 Resort Recap and Spring Ball 02:09 Houston Airport Gate Mixup08:30 Spring Practice Kickoff 08:55 Pro Day Standouts 12:43 New QB and WR Hype 14:32 Mario Practice Physicality 16:53 Two Deep and WR Room Loaded 19:54 Defense Depth and Concerns 23:05 Sponsors and Partners28:04 Sonny Dykes Calls Out QB 31:20 FSU Kicker Arrest Talk 32:26 Miami Hoops Season Recap 34:11 UNC Coaching Chaos 36:21 Kevin Willard Viral Joke 38:06 Rejected Titles Sweet 16 43:02 Picking The Episode Title Roofing issues?

Instead of talking about the Madness, two-deeps or Heisman odds... it's flaming meteors, late-night snack shacks and roosters on parade... It's OBB Benched!We start with the wild story about the meteor that broke up in the atmosphere over Northern Ohio - including the wild "boom" and some hilarious dashcam footage from one guys' car. And after the story about Michael B. Jordan going to In-and-Out after winning his Oscar, we all weigh in with where we are headed to eat after a major life victory.Another story surfaced this past week about a film company rebooting the Jean-Claude Van Damme classic "Bloodsport" and what movies should never be rebooted. And hilarious audio of an LA helicopter reporter who lost track of his car chase because he was distracted watching some chickens walk down the road.And of course we round it out with a round of Five Questions - which this week include what your worst fart smells like, something that feels like a cult but isn't, what would be your weapon as the 5th Ninja Turtle, our overall thoughts on COVID during the 6-year anniversary, and our favorite all-time OBB moments.This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 OBB Benched Intro 00:58 Meteor Over Ohio02:13 Talking To Trees 03:25 Oscars And In N Out 07:02 Celebration Meal Picks 09:49 Bloodsport Reboot Talk 14:38 Movies To Never Reboot 16:25 Car Chase Rooster Detour 18:34 Question 1 - Fart Stories21:44 Question 2 - Not a Cult But Feels Like One23:52 Question 3 - Fifth Ninja Turtle Weapon 25:19 Question 4 - Six Years Since COVID 27:30 Question 5 - Funniest OBB Moments30:15 When the Show Clicked 32:08 Naming the Episode WrapRoofing issues?

We open the show this week with a quick recap of our "Rejected Show Titles" Bracket now that we have teams assigned to all these hilarious throw-away titles. From there it's deep into Miami's first-round match-up with Missouri, and where Miami will need to improve in order to make a deep run.Our friends at 247 dropped their two-deep projections for Miami going into the season, and the more we look at it, the more confident we feel that this team will make a big push again this season. We dive into the depth in the Running Backs room, and how these offensive lineman will hold up with an almost entirely new crew. And on the defense we are all really excited to have Ahmad Moten back again, with hopes that he could become a stalwart of the Miami defense this season.FanDuel also dropped their expected win totals for the 2026 season, with Miami near the top of the list, and somehow Notre Dame is sitting ahead of us, even though the line for the upcoming game in November has grown to 4.5 favorites for Miami. We also have early Heisman odds that include both Darian Mensah and Malachi Toney - with Josh Pate making his case for Darian Mensah.This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease,and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Scoop Missing in Mexico 01:50 Bracket Reveal Banter 06:45 Greentree07:38 Miami vs Mizzou Preview 09:10 Spring Ball Countdown 10:24 Offense Two Deep Breakdown 14:03 O Line Concerns and Context 15:31 Defensive Line Hype 18:20 Secondary Depth Chart 20:55 Tight Ends Role 22:00 Two 1000 Yard Receivers 23:10 Sponsors and Partners27:45 2026 Win Totals Debate 30:40 Heisman Odds Talk 32:03 Pate Backs Mensah 33:52 Dolphins Dead Money Rant 35:57 Claude Runs Dolphins 37:05 Show Title And SignoffRoofing issues?

Instead of Top quarterbacks, recruiting prowess or March Madness... we're talking about last-second losses, Zoom court sex and coaches moonlighting as pimps!... It's OBB Benched!We start with audio of the week from two separate heartbreaking losses, including the orgasmic call of the LA marathon runner who won at the very last second. (Toast seemed to enjoy this one a little too much.) Plus audio of the New York high school baseball team that lost on the final "strike" of the game, and the hapless young announcer that didn't even know what was going on as it was happening.Even more crazy audio comes from a Michigan court, where a woman is accused of having sex in a Zoom court meeting and gets called out by the judge - who actually stopped court to go back and watch the video! And finally the craziest story of the week about the Cal State Bakersfield assistant basketball coach who was moonlighting as a PIMP across four states - wild!!And Roman closes it out with another round of Five Questions... which included our biggest "I need to keep my mouth shut" moments, the most mind blowing facts we know, the best and worst things that happened to us this week, what Hollywood actor did not age well, and the first thing you do when you get home - which spins into yet another food conversationThis episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Benched Cold Open 00:48 Marathon Photo Finish 01:50 Announcer Goes Viral 06:22 Baseball Title Blunder 08:15 Balk Off Memories 09:14 Zoom Court Scandal 11:25 Coach Accused Pimping 14:42 Five Questions Begins 15:01 Question 1 - Mouth Shut Stories 18:53 Question 2 - Mind Blowing Facts 21:40 Question 3 - Best and Worst Week 25:15 Question 4 - Actors Who Aged Badly 27:10 Question 5 - Sounds Good Problems 28:31 Home Routine and Cooking 31:34 Uncrustables and Lava Filling 32:35 McDonalds Apple Pie Heat 34:10 Episode Name and Marathon AudioRoofing issues?

As we kick off episode 441, we are reminded of the old Zeta "Miss 441" pageant - which spins us into memories of our South Florida youth and Happy Pappy's. And the guys address the amount of swearing on the podcast in the last few months, and how we will now be instituting safe words each week on the show to curb it back. But we quickly get down to the Greentree and break down CBS Sports ranking Darian Mensah as the #1 quarterback in the ACC, and we look down the entire Top 10 and try to figure out where some of these guys actually played last year.We also jump into ESPN's write-up on Miami's "challenging" offseason, in that teams that have made their title runs in previous years have not found a way back to the title game. But everyone seems to think Miami's recruiting and reloading is the difference in getting the Canes back into the mix pretty quickly. That includes Mario going in on a lot of the big South Florida recruits and trying to keep these guys home like Rueben Bain Jr did. From the Greentree, we transition over to the Watco, as Miami Basketball knocked off Louisville and advanced to the semifinals of the ACC tournament and set themselves up for a March Madness bid. And we shouldn't be surprised that Jai Lucas got overlooked for Coach of the Year in the ACC, even though he was clear-and-away the most deserving for the award. Plus after a few struggles for Miami baseball, Toast and Roman weigh in on where this team needs improvement to make a run when it counts this summer.This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease,and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Welcome and Road Talk 01:02 Miss 441 Radio Memories 02:45 Old Florida Landmarks 04:10 Platypus Swear Filter 07:52 ACC Quarterback Rankings 11:31 Clemson Coaching Rant 17:29 Miami Playoff Expectations 24:36 Recruiting and Voltron Debate 27:20 Nostalgic Toys and Big Wheel 28:08 South Bend Flight Buzz 28:35 Canes Hoops Tournament Talk 29:10 ACC bias and Duke scare 30:24 Baseball recap and rivalry 32:01 Bats vs pitching debate 34:10 Jay Lucas lands recruit 34:40 Sponsor shoutouts 39:43 Rejected titles bracket 56:56 Naming the episode Roofing issues?

Instead of Time Magazine recognitions, new coaches or March Madness... we're talking about great dicks, tiny dicks and strip club tributes... it's OBB Benched!We open the show with the Audio of the Week from the NBA on NBC, featuring Bob Costas and "two great Dicks," even though we promised no more dick jokes on last week's show. Toast mentions the "In Memoriam" segment at the Actor's Awards and how the entire last two minutes were all people from our childhood. Plus everyone offers ideas on what the Miami Marlins could do to put butts in the seats, after the St Louis Cardinals this week rolled out their $29 "all you can eat" seats. Miami strip clubs also get a nod on the promotional front, in the wake of the story about the Atlanta Hawks having a tribute night this month for one of Atlanta's most iconic strip clubs, Magic City. Tootsies night at the Heat game? And the man with the world's smallest penis makes everyone wildly uncomfortable for a few minutes.And Roman brings it all home with another round of Five Questions - which include A-List actors that we don't like and why, healthy habits that are completely made up, something strange that happened to us, something people think is hard but is actually easy, and the wedding moment that screamed "they're not gonna last long."This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Benched Returns 00:44 Kennedy Space Center Dick02:22 Costas Two Great Dicks 04:05 In Memoriam Reality Check 05:49 Cardinals All You Can Eat 07:51 Why Miami Baseball Fails 09:00 Hawks Magic City Night 12:55 Worlds Smallest Penis 16:21 Question 1: A List Actors You Dislike 20:11 Question 2: Fake Healthy Habits 21:37 Burger Calories Debate 24:28 Question 3: Strangest Things Happened 27:33 Backstage Trapped Story 30:08 Question 4: What's Hard But Easy 31:15 Question 5: Wedding Red Flags 37:25 Show Titles Wrap UpRoofing issues?

We are right into the offseason stories by getting sidetracked by Bourbon talk and Scoop's upcoming vacation to Mexico, before we dive into the new coaching staff hires at Miami. The one that seems to be getting all the attention has been Mike Viti as the tight ends coach, specifically because he was Army's offensive line coach previously - which goes to show a tight end will never miss a block in a big spot again! Plus adding a new perspective to the tight end room could bolster the usage and creativity of the tight ends in the offensive scheme, if Dawson's offense is willing to be more tight end friendly.Plus we touch on Mario's inclusion in TIME Magazine's Top 100 Most Influential People in Sports, including our boy Josh Pray weighing in like only he can, and whether or not that's a real thing or an internet hoax. Brad Crawford also puts Miami at #1 in his way-too-early bowl predictions and how that makes us feel looking at the schedule ahead of us in 2026.And we touch on the successes of Miami basketball, with the prediction that Jai Lucas will be the ACC Coach of the Year in his first season. That spins us into the upcoming Show Title March Madness bracket and how it will follow the course of the tournament. And despite a couple of tough losses we talk a little about Miami baseball, who is looking to rebound against Bethune - as Toast talks about his stress level when he watches his nephew play. Plus everyone has thoughts about Mississippi making NIL earnings tax exempt.This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease,and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Offseason Banter 00:22 Liquor Talk 03:41 Tech Glitch Reset 04:28 New Staff Hires 05:35 Tight Ends Usage 10:55 Recruiting Concerns 13:21 Time List Buzz 17:27 Hype for Next Season 18:08 Canes Schedule Math 19:33 Basketball Bracket Anxiety 20:40 Show Title Bracket Plan 22:15 Sponsors and Partners 24:42 Canes Baseball25:14 Betting Packages Rundown 28:44 Dude Wipes Dugout Story 31:13 NIL Tax Exempt Debate 32:41 Naming The EpisodeRoofing issues?

Instead of talking about Combine performances, unbeaten baseball teams or college recruiting battles... we're talking about four point field goals, cheating executives and 12-year car thieves! Welcome to OBB Benched!We open with a quick revisit to the French skier who took a shot to the nuts, for Scoop's amusement who missed it last show. We also jump into the call and reaction to the US Olympic Hockey Team defeating Canada and winning the Gold - including all the amazing memes, and how everyone loved enjoying the unadulterated patriotism.From there we get into all the new UFL rules - including 60-yard four-point field goals - and which of them we'd like to see adopted by today's NFL. We also run down CBS's list of the Top 10 college football coaches on the hot seat, which of course is led by Mike Norvell. And the story of the week about a 12-year-old North Carolina boy who drove himself to school after missing the bus, leads to stories about the things we did as kids that got us in the most trouble.And Roman brings it all home with another round of Five Questions - which include our thoughts on Pokemon turning 30, how you would be able to decipher your real wife from an identical twin, lies we were told as kids that still bother us, textures and smells that bother us, and the dumbest ideas we've seen that actually worked.This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 OBB Benched Returns 00:37 Run It Back Ski Clip 01:41 USA Golden Goal Hype 05:08 Jack Hughes Miracle Irony08:37 UFL Rule Experiments 13:00 Coach Hot Seats 18:36 Metallica Vegas Plans 19:11 12 Year Old Car Thief 21:13 Childhood Trouble Stories 26:27 GTA Strip Club Surprise 27:35 Question 1: Pokemon Turns 30 29:07 Question 2: Wife Twin Dilemma 32:49 Question 3: Childhood Lies Revealed 37:15 Question 4: Creepy Smells and Textures45:07 Question 5: Dumb Ideas That Worked 45:48 Naming Bits and Wrap UpRoofing issues?

It's going to be a WILD UM Baseball episode as we get ready to talk to breakout UM baseball star, and ACC Player of the Week, Dylan Dubovik! And Toast comes in hot with a wild story from this week about his wife catching a shirtless man robbing their car. We head down to Greentree to talk about the Canes at the NFL Combine and the ridiculous story about Rueben Bain having short arms... as they somehow ignore all the tape on this kid for 1/8 of an inch in arm length. Plus we debate about the merit of Mendoza going #1 and whether or not that will pan out for the team that will draft him. We also jump into Rueben's hilarious comments on Michael Irvin, where Akheem Mesidor might land in the Draft, and what happened to Damien Martinez. And we all relish in the audio of Mario destroying Kirby Smart at a writer's event in Gainesville. Then we are joined by the reigning ACC Player of the Week, Dylan Dubovik! We talk to Dylan about his scorching hot start at Miami, the biggest change going from high school to college ball, and what it's like to face pro-level pitching. Dylan also talks about his approach at the plate, his pitching possibilities going forward, and how to find a way to keep performing at such a high level.

It's not Football, Olympics or NBA Fights... instead it's nut shots, cheating Norwegians and CTE... it's OBB Benched!We roll out our weekly bonus show that starts with some classic audio of a French skier catching a gate in the nuts, leading us into stories about our worst shot to the beans. That also leads us into some of the more wild Olympic sports we've seen over the years. Which takes us into the new viral trend of Run In Straight collisions which is the new way to get CTE, and Toast is here for every minute of it.We somehow get into the priest DJ who plays Gregorian house music and it's wild how good it is when we find it online! Plus the Norwegian athlete who cheated on his girlfriend and admitted it to the world at the Olympic games, and UTSA Head Coach Jeff Traylor's not-so-crazy fundraising idea for the Road Runners. And we round it out with Five Questions, which include what skill in our proverbial video game "skill tree" we'd upgrade first, childish things we still do as adults, our first "unusual" crushes, who you would want as the sponsor of your F1 race team, and our worst first date stories!This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Introduction and Episode Setup 00:55 Hilarious Olympic Clip: French Skier's Nut Shot 02:40 Personal Stories of Nut Shots 05:44 Olympic Mishaps and Funny Commentary 10:24 Crazy New Viral Sport: Running Straight 13:15 DJ Priest and Catholic Church Anecdotes 16:26 Norwegian Athlete's Shocking Confession 17:17 Olympic Confessions and Reactions 20:18 The UTSA Fundraising Idea 23:42 Five Questions 34:34 Episode Wrap-Up and NamesRoofing issues?

We are Scoop-less this week as his daughter competes in a big soccer tournament, so it's Toast and Roman helming the ship. We quickly dive into this week's ranking of the Top 50 head coaches in college football, where Mario came in at #12... even though he's fresh off the National Championship Game. Toast and Roman both pick apart some of the coaches ahead of Mario on the list, including Dan Lanning at Oregon who Mario has definitely surpassed.The state of the defense comes into question, as we are now missing out on some 5-star recruits (largely due to money) and what that means for recruiting going forward. And we're shocked at how boujee we sound by saying we should be getting all these five-star guys because this was never the state of Miami football! Miami also broke his silence on Darian Mensah this week - calling him an "alpha" - and we hear from him on the state of the program and the "positive anger" they have to get back to the title game.Props to Jai Lucas and the Miami basketball team for knocking off North Carolina in Coral Gables, and how Jai might end up as the ACC Coach of the Year - which would be a WILD turnaround for this program. And while Toast loved the Super Bowl because his team was so dominant, Ro felt like it was a terribly boring game and Drake Maye was seeing horrible ghosts all night. 00:00 Welcome to Episode 435 02:13 Top College Football Coaches Discussion 03:54 Miami Hurricanes' Performance and Future 10:02 Recruitment Challenges and Strategies 14:21 NFL Combine and Player Prospects 20:28 Positive Outlook for Miami Hurricanes 22:13 Miami's Big Win and Coaching Triumph 22:35 Miami's Basketball Journey 24:34 Super Bowl Talk and Sponsors 28:15 Super Bowl Stories and Tax Woes 33:36 Celebrity Gossip and Super Bowl Drama 37:06 Show Wrap-Up and Episode NamesThis episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease,and BeatinTheBookie.com.Roofing issues?

We jump into this week's edition of Benched with one of the funniest comedians on social media, back on the show again, it's Josh Pray! And he comes out swinging by taking shots at Miami for losing the National Championship Game and jokes about wanting Miami to be investigated for continuing to pull huge players in the portal.Josh's hate for Miami bleeds through as he takes a look at his Florida Gators, who celebrated winning four games this past season. And we jump into our favorite stories of the week with Josh, starting off Jarrell Miller getting his toupee knocked off during a boxing match. Plus the news report about the Miami-Dade suspect who decided to grab a detective's ass on his way to prison.Josh also weighs in on the iguana problem in South Florida, and whether or not anyone on the show has tried the Iguana Pizza. The topics spin wildly into our favorite Ben Stiller movies, and the Massachusetts man who burned his house down trying to melt ice on his roof with a blowtorch. And we close it out with another hilarious round of Five Questions, and some win-loss game with Josh Pray as we go through Florida's 2026 schedule.This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Welcome to OBB Benched00:50 Listener Feedback and Controversial Topics 02:02 Welcome Back Josh Pray 02:55 Miami Hurricanes and College Football Talk 14:09 Hilarious Stories and Banter 18:31 Crazy News Stories and Reactions 29:45 Unsupervised Adventures 31:33 Talking to Trees 33:01 The Cat on Acid 37:08 Five Questions Segment 48:06 Over/Under UF Predictions 54:16 Show Naming and FarewellRoofing issues?

They cover everything from Dereon's recruitment and what pushed him to stay with Miami, the National Championship experience, who he has bonded with on the team and even what number he hopes to wear.

We come right out of the gate with ACC Network's Eric MacLain - who for some reason is asked to weigh in our muffin debate... we're a weird show. But of course we get right into the Darian Mensah news and how Eric found out about it and what it means for Miami going into this season. And some jokes about tampering lead us into a debate about what it will take for the NCAA to put some guardrails in place for the portal.Eric also has high praise for Miami's offense, which loaded up in the portal beyond the QB spot, and how it has the potential to be so much more explosive than it was last season. And with more weapons in the WR room and a stacked RB room, Eric thinks that's the blueprint for his prediction of a decade of Miami dominance. Plus our concerns for the defense are quickly squashed by Eric who paints the picture of the defense being just fine with the replacements that are coming in this season. He goes as far as to say Miami is now the best team in the country, and the challenge now is whether they can live up to it.And before he takes off, Eric takes a look around the ACC and offers up some of his predictions and expectations for the teams around the conference. We also kick around CBS Sports predicting Miami as the #1 seed coming into the season, which is especially interesting because they have Notre Dame at #2, setting up an epic showdown for later this year. Plus everyone has an opinion on Mark Ingram picking Malachi Toney as his "way too early" Heisman pick, and how big the Canes will perform in the 2026 NFL Draft.This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing,Rapid Auto Lease, Underdog Fantasy, Surf Shark and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Welcome Eric MacLain Back01:03 Debate on Muffins and Grocery Stores 02:28 Football Talk: Seahawks and Patriots 03:41 College Football Transfers and Portal 11:28 Miami Hurricanes Football Analysis 13:24 Offensive Line and Receivers Discussion 18:15 Defensive Line and Secondary Insights 23:50 Portal Class and Other Teams 24:49 Defensive Strategies and Portal Acquisitions 25:04 Quarterback Prospects and Offensive Strengths 26:37 Team Evaluations and Expectations 27:29 Listener Interaction and Personal Stories 28:59 Sponsorship Shoutouts and Promotions 42:14 NFL Draft Projections and Player Highlights 45:22 Show Wrap-Up and Show TitleRoofing issues?

Every week we will be bringing you a non-Hurricanes theme bonus show called "Benched"! And this week' slate of topics starts with Sam Darnold's grandfather whose real name is Dick Hammer, leading us into a conversation about the worst names ever and things we think we could hammer with our 'members'. There's also the curious case of an Australian woman who was eaten by dingos, paired with the story about the Australian cyclist who completed the Tour Down Under bike race this week despite running into two kangaroos. That spins into a debate about who takes the mantle as the best Australian ever.The winter storm last week brought us some amazing audio of a weather girl in Oklahoma who mistakenly asked for people's "measurements" on Facebook. And everyone has some big laughs at the guy who went viral this week for charging guests $450 to attend his wedding because he already "spunt" a lot of money. Finally a salute to the garage fridge from a viral tweet this week, and the unbelievable audio of a man getting tazed during a high school basketball fight in the south. And we round out this new weekly bonus show with Five Questions! This week we talk about what put a smile on our face this week, the most financially irresponsible thing we've seen someone do, what people should be forced to have on their license (which spins into a wild conversation about our favorite movies), what book you can judge by its cover, and the most disturbing thing we've ever seen.This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing,Rapid Auto Lease, Underdog Fantasy, the Miami Hurricane Team Store, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Welcome to OBB Benched01:34 Hilarious Names Discussion 06:22 Australian Adventures 13:02 Wedding Cover Charge Controversy 17:14 Garage Fridge Eulogy 19:37 Basketball Tasing Incident 22:12 Unexpected Concussions and Malfunctioning Gadgets 22:42 Ryan's Misfortune and a Smile-Worthy Week 24:26 Financial Irresponsibility and Dumb Gifts 26:24 License Requirements and Movie Debates 36:38 Disturbing Experiences and Dark Humor 41:39 Hilarious T-Shirt Ideas and Show Wrap-UpRoofing issues?

We randomly open up on Robert Saleh's huge family as we venture into one of the most active offseason weeks we've seen in a long time. And no time is wasted getting down to Greentree as we finally get the settlement in the Darian Mensah case and he's now officially committed to Miami. Nailing the top quarterback in the portal, though, loses its luster a little when 24-7 ranks him as the SIXTH best quarterback available this offseason. Plus we run down all the big portal additions and it really feels like Miami reloaded in their short portal window and brought in some top talent.Scoop and Roman really go deep into what to expect from Mensah as he gets ready to take to the Greentree, and Roman explains that his tweet that aligned Mensah closer to Cam Ward than Carson Beck was NOT a shot at Beck, but a nod to Mensah's style. Plus these offensive weapons coming into the year might be the best we've seen in years, which is saying a lot after going 23-5 in the last two seasons. The 2026 season also dropped this week, with a bunch of weeknight games and a couple of tough ones on the road, a seeming lack of respect for the runners up to the National Championship this year. And there are already 11-1 predictions being thrown around and debates about what unexpected team is going to jump up and be a problem for the Canes. We also throw some congratulations to the Canes who will be playing in the Super Bowl, play some hilarious audio from a drunk Seahawks fan on the local news, and close out the show with the debate about Bill Belichick being snubbed from the Hall of Fame.This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing,Rapid Auto Lease, Underdog Fantasy, the Miami Hurricane Team Store, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Introduction and Casual Banter 02:34 Darian Mensah Joins Miami 03:21 Analyzing the Transfer Portal and Player Moves 13:12 Offensive Line and Team Strategy 16:48 Upcoming Season Schedule and Key Games 22:46 Partners and Sponsors 26:46 Super Bowl Excitement and Miami Hurricanes 29:04 Seattle Seahawks Fan Reactions 30:19 Florida College Football Coaches 33:32 Bill Belichick Hall of Fame Snub 40:53 Final Thoughts and Episode Wrap-UpRoofing issues?

Well... is it a Recap Show? Is it an off-season show? It's both! We are back to break down the aftermath of the National Championship Game.Toast's voice is SHOT and he's really concerned that Scoop and Roman aren't as cooked as he is. But even though we're reluctant to rehash the pain of this special teams loss, because it's something that wasn't on our radar, as Roman really goes in on the blocked punt. Toast tries his hardest to be the voice of reason, saying the missed field goal could have made a big difference down the stretch, and Scoop tells the heart-breaking story of how his daughter burst into tears after the blocked punt.The debate rages about the future of the program, and whether you have the right guys in the culture going forward. And Roman speaks bluntly about the late-game interceptions by Carson Beck - aside from him being very good for a large majority of the season - and he's looking for an upgrade under center next season. Toast responds to the criticism of Beck very strongly, and Scoop tries to break down the last interception, trying to figure out if there were better throws he left on the field.We dial down on some of the bigger headlines after the game, including Mark Fletcher's incident on the field after the game and how the remarks about his father are what really set him off. Plus we hear from new official OBB Eric MacLain who said on ACC Network that Miami is set up for a decade of dominance, and audio from Mario about what he said to the team immediately after the loss. And Scoop talks about all the guys from this team that he's going to miss because they are truly the best thing to happen to Miami football in 25 years.Roman polls the show to see who called for Mario's firing after some of the bigger losses - to which no one raises their hand. And Toast polls the show with a higher-or-lower question about whether Miami wins a Natty within the next three years... and Scoop and Ro both go under! And we address the situation with Mensah - who IS now in the Portal - and how that deal could still come together even if it takes a little more time than expected. And if they don't land him, we try to dissect how the quarterback competition would shake out.We also close out our Pick Ems for the 2025, as Toast wins the season picks for the first time in a few years. And Roman brings back the one and only FIVE QUESTIONS - which this week includes examples of things that are suspiciously nice, what industry would collapse if people couldn't lie, what we think is on the dark side of the moon, the best scene in TV history, and what company has the worst logo.This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing,Rapid Auto Lease, Underdog Fantasy, the Miami Hurricane Team Store, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Introduction and Episode Setup 00:43 Game Recap and Initial Reactions 03:07 Special Teams Blunders and Frustrations 15:00 Quarterback Performance and Key Plays 28:20 Future Prospects and Team Culture 40:36 Legal Troubles and NIL Expiration 41:14 Spring Practice and New Players 42:19 Reflecting on the Championship Game 43:47 Sponsors and Partners 47:45 Miami Football Future Predictions 57:20 Five Questions Segment 01:12:09 Closing Remarks and Show TitlesRoofing issues?

We are merely days away from the Miami Hurricanes in the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME! It's #10 Miami vs the world-beating prematurely-declared-winner #1 Indiana Hoosiers, Monday night in our building! This is a preview show for the ages!!Things open with everyone on edge - with Toast even saying this is the most nervous he's ever been for a show. Plus we touch on the parking mess that is unfolding at Hard Rock Stadium, which we are willing to overlook because it still hasn't sunk in that we're actually playing in the National Championship. And as we get down to Greentree we take a look at the Indiana fans, who are the weirdest group of fans we've ever interacted with. We are joined right off the tip by ACC Network host and ESPN analyst ERIC MACLAIN, who comes to the table in Miami gear, and immediately gets into the strangeness of Indiana fans. Eric also lays out the road for Miami following the SMU game and what changed after that game for the Hurricanes. Ro also gets Eric's opinion on the coaching prowess in the ACC compared to some of the other conferences, something that could give Miami an advantage going into games like these. We also talk with Eric about the evolution of the Miami offense over the last two months of the season, his impressions of Carson Beck's leadership and intellect, and the true impact that Rueben Bain and Akheem Mesidor have on a game. Plus Eric gives his keys to beating Indiana and it all starts with Fernando Mendoza having time to throw the ball. Then our old friend and OBB alum RODDY JONES jumps in - feature heavily on ESPN's College Football coverage this year! And right off the bat he breaks the news to the show that he's picking Indiana in this game, even though he picked Miami to win the title on TV. At which point we ask Roddy to lay out where Indiana has the advantages in this game. He also thinks that no matter how good Indiana is, they are still going to have a hard time with Bain and Mesidor up front. And we get Roddy's official score, and what it would take for him to be wrong about picking the Hoosiers.And we close out with everyone's Three Keys to a Miami win - which include Beck's decision making, playing clean without penalties and finding ways to limit Fernando Mendoza. Jenners also asks everyone on the show what they are willing to sacrifice to see Miami win a title on Monday night. And everyone makes their picks for the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!!This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing,Rapid Auto Lease, Underdog Fantasy, the Miami Hurricane Team Store, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Nervous Beginnings and Show Introduction 02:26 Brisket and Bourbon Plans 03:43 Parking Woes and Championship Talk 05:50 Guest Introduction: Eric McClain 16:13 Miami's Journey and Coaching Insights 36:45 Dan Rad's Move to Miami 37:24 Miami's Football Legacy and Realignment 38:44 Miami Fans and Their Reputation 40:15 Eric's Optimism for Miami's Future 41:09 Roddy Jones Joins the Show 45:10 Eric's Deadlift Feat and Home Gym 46:13 Eric's Indiana vs. Miami Prediction51:38 Miami's Strategy Against Indiana 01:02:33 Indiana's Efficiency and Miami's Physicality 01:11:00 Miami's Alumni and Sideline Presence 01:13:36 Miami's Legacy and ACC Representation 01:14:30 Comparing Miami to Historical Teams 01:16:16 Recruitment and Coaching Impact 01:18:46 Miami's Path to the National Championship 01:20:15 Predictions and Keys to the Game 01:33:42 Final Thoughts and Score PredictionsRoofing issues?

We roll out the FULL Recap Show as we settle into the idea that Miami is actually going to play for a National Championship!! Roman says this would be the most iconic and improbable run any Miami team has ever pulled off, and Scoop and Toast spent the entire day watching highlights and recaps and soaking it all in. And the question begs... if Miami does manage to win the entire thing... do we officially end the podcast? Well... NO WAY.Toast wants to start by giving Carson Beck his flowers, largely for the final drive of the game, because if he gets this done he'll go down in history as one of the greatest Canes of all time. But there were a lot of negatives to discuss, even if Scoop is too happy to argue about that stuff right now. The offensive game plan, the penalties, the missed calls... there was a lot that broke our way to make up for those miscues. And of course everyone has an opinion on the debate of the day... whether there should have been pass interference called on the final Hail Mary of the game.Plus we hear Alfre Alvarez's electric Spanish call of the Carson Beck game-winning touchdown, and we all have some high praise for Trinidad Chambliss who we all agree could be a star at the NFL level. We also talk about Mario's emotions last night, especially since it probably killed him to admit that most of the Miami team had the flu, because he would want to win with his guys at full strength. And we hear from the sports bettors in Vegas who are really afraid for Miami to win because their futures were the worst of the Playoff teams.As we wrap things up, we would have to mention the rushing game, which showed up BIG against Ole Miss. And we touch on the wild Sam Leavitt rumors that are swirling tonight and how IF that happened, it would be three straight years of nailing the top quarterback in the portal.

It's the PLAYOFF SEMIFINAL PREVIEW SHOW!!! #10 MIAMI vs #6 OLE MISS in the VRBO Fiesta Bowl... for a shot to play for the National Championship on January 19th!!We are all HYPED as we get ready to take on Ole Miss for a shot to play at HOME for the National Championship... even if they make us sit on the visitor side because we would technically be the lower seed if we make it. And we open with an all-time quote from OC Shannon Dawson - "if the ball's in your hands, the program's in your hands" - as we dissect how the offense performed against Ohio State and how that will translate to the Rebels. But before we get too far into Ole Miss we have to relive the Kionte Scott pick 6 as called by Joe Zagaki on WQAM, which leads us into some of our favorite moments from the win over Ohio State. And as the analysts believe that the "stars are aligned" for Ole Miss to continue their run, we feel like these are guys who are still looking at things through the lens of the SEC, which has crumbled this season. Plus it wouldn't be a show if we didn't take a minute to laugh at the downward spiral of FSU as they have 33 players in the portal as of this show. That leads to a brief conversation about the madness in the portal, and whether Miami will be in the running for a portal QB or if the fanbase is going to have to prepare for a true QB competition. And Toast addresses some of the "big spenders" in the NIL market and how Canes fans should be prepared to not be the biggest spender, but rather get the guys that Mario wants because we trust his roster building acumin. Then we go BIG with the Ole Miss preview, as Roman spent time in the film room and thinks that despite what Mario is saying, Ole Miss is not the best team the Canes will face in the Playoff... that was Ohio State. And while Trinidad Chambliss is a very special player, who had a lot to say about Miami's defense not disrupting their offensive scheme, it was Miami who has found a way to slow down mobile quarterbacks this season. Everyone drops their keys to a Miami win over Ole Miss, which include pressuring Chambliss, limiting your penalties, hammering the run game, making all your kicks, watching the roll-out plays and Carson Beck's poise. And we make our picks and predictions for the Semifinal games, including everyone's pick for Miami vs Ole Miss.This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing,Rapid Auto Lease, the Miami Hurricane Team Store, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Introduction and Episode Setup 00:16 Playoff Excitement and Team Spirit 00:58 Merchandise and Fan Engagement 01:07 Playoff History and Home Game Discussion 02:05 Locker Room Dynamics and Espionage 03:05 Transition to Off-Season and Green Tree 04:24 Game Analysis and Key Plays 06:15 Quarterback Performance and Concerns 20:27 Portal Madness and Team Strategy 31:39 Media Reactions and Rivalries 34:04 Critique of Joey Galloway 34:30 Sponsors and Partners 40:58 Ole Miss Game Preview 52:38 Keys to the Game 56:20 Game Predictions and Show TitlesRoofing issues?

It's the PLAYOFF QUARTERFINALS PREVIEW SHOW!!! #10 MIAMI vs #2 OHIO STATE in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic.Everyone is hyped coming into one of the biggest shows we've ever done, with Ohio State players talking a lot in the media this week and how players like Jeremiah Smith could have been a Hurricane if this team was built like it is now. And while we understand that narrative, Scoop isn't buying into guys who only want to play for "good" teams instead of helping build a winner. Plus we have to discuss the history of things, and how important this rematch is for those of us who remember being robbed of a National Championship in 2003 and what it means for Canes fans.Miami comes into this game as a 10-point dog, and we're surprised that the spread is that big, especially to Roman who did a lot of film work on Ohio State this week. Scoop also comes in with some numbers to paint the picture of Shannon Dawson's offense versus Matt Patricia's defense, and how Dawson will need to call the game of his life to find a way to beat a Super Bowl winning DC. We also get clips from Carson Beck feeling confident in the game plan, Shannon Dawson responding to haters from the A&M low-scoring game, and even Colin Cowherd who is now suddenly all over the Miami bandwagon.We are also SO PROUD to announce that we've extended our partnership with the amazing staff at Paul Bange Roofing for another season of the Orange Bowl Boys! To celebrate (?) we get a check-in from our very own I.P. Daley who checks in from Dallas and as always burns the house down. And the question is posed about whether the running game for Miami can be as effective against Ohio State as it was against Texas A&M, specifically Mark Fletcher, and Ro says he doesn't have to go nuclear to still run away with a game.Everyone brings out their Keys to the Game to win against Ohio State - including converting on 3rd downs, playing the villain, keeping Beck's pants clean (again), pressure from the front four, hitting kicks and keeping OH's offense off the field. And we do our quarter-final picks for the Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl and of course the Cotton Bowl picks for Miami vs Ohio State.

It's a PLAYOFF VICTORY RECAP SHOW!!Everyone opens with high praise for Corey Hetherman as the defense played absolutely out of their MINDS yesterday, holding Texas A&M to 3 points at Kyle field. Toast lays out the stat of the week - that Miami has allowed only 44 points in the last five games - three of which were conference games, and an SEC Playoff game on the road. There is also a lot of credit and love to go around on the defensive side of the ball. We have SO much audio to dive into, including Alfre Alvarez's Spanish call of Toney's late touchdown, and we relive Fitzgerald's game-winning interception and talk about how impressive he was in that game, and has been all-season for a freshman. And what a freshmen combo between him and Toney, who were both heroes yesterday. And Mark Fletcher's performance yesterday was impressive enough, but even more so when he talked about consoling Malachi Toney after the costly fumble. That also leads Scoop into a breakdown of the running backs and how (and why) they utilized Mark Fletcher as much as they did yesterday.There is also high praise for the line of scrimmage, as even Mike Elko said after the game that Miami dominated them in the trenches and how that lost them the game. Rhett Lashley and Eric MacLain from the ACC Network had very high praise for the Canes, saying that the gap between the ACC and SEC has closed significantly, especially when you look at teams like Miami. Plus we get into all the points that were left on the field for Miami yesterday - including CJ Daniels getting a few steps on the defender and the throw coming up a little short, and Malachi's punt return that went all the way down to the 25 and the Canes walked away without points.The end of the game becomes a point of contention - on whether Malachi should have run out of bounds to set up the game-winning field goal, or to take the TD (as they did) and try to stump A&M offense, which almost blew up in their face. It was still a WILD game and we had a blast taking it all in on our live stream. Up next... OHIO STATE ON NEW YEAR'S EVE!!MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM OUR ENTIRE CREW AT THE ORANGE BOWL BOYS!! We are so thankful for all the support this year and love being on this ride with the best fanbase in all of sports.

It's the PLAYOFF PREVIEW SHOW!!!We are joined by PGA Champion Andrew Novak, fresh off a big win last weekend, and a lifelong Canes fan - as we get ready for the biggest game we've seen in probably 20 years. As we get down to Greentree, Toast admits that he's starting to feel the anticipation, while Scoop and Roman are still pretty chill. Ro also has done a lot of film breakdown in the last week and is starting to feel a swell of confidence as he compares Miami to Texas A&M, and calls the Canes walking out with a win.Texas A&M running back Rueben Owens II rustled a lot of Miami's feathers this week when he said Miami's run defense "isn't a challenge." And Roman breaks down what to be on the lookout for from Marcell Reed because he's not a strong pocket passer. Toast also wants to address the 800-pound gorilla in the room, asking if anyone is worried about the 11am Central start time, but everyone thinks that this team isn't going to falter in this situation. Plus Josh Pate weighs in with his pick for the game - which goes to Texas A&M - and Roman immediately throws a monkey wrench in Pate's logic by saying it's all on Malachi Toney. Toast also gives the edge to Carson Beck in the QB battle, and Scoop thinks it will come down to how much protection the offensive line gives him. And we finally got a check in from I.P. Daley ahead of this epic Playoff weekend, and he doesn't disappoint!Everyone lays out their keys to the game, including pinning Marcell Reed in the pocket, avoiding third and long, trusting in Carson Beck to deliver, not playing scared and getting some big plays over the top. There is also transfer portal news that has Lagway coming to Miami, which no one on the show believes, and we debate who Miami might target at QB1 and whether Sam Leavitt or CJ Bailey is that guy. Toast cuts off some time to roast the ACC for the horrible split schedule, which everyone thinks is a horrible idea as it will drop the entire conference out of balance. And some quick congrats to Fernando Mendoza for bringing home the Heisman, as we debate where he might land in the draft. Plus we close it out with a round of Pick 'Ems for the first round of the College Football Playoff, including everyone's prediction for the Miami game!This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing,the Miami Hurricane Team Store, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Introduction and Excitement for Playoffs 00:45 PGA Tour Champion Andrew Novak 01:20 Discussion on Miami Hurricanes' Fanbase and History 03:58 Analyzing the Upcoming Game Against Texas A&M 29:23 Partners and Sponsors40:03 Keys to the Game 43:48 Transfer Portal and Quarterback Rumors 45:00 Portal Quarterbacks and Team Dynamics 50:40 Conference Game Controversies 57:21 College Football Playoff Picks 01:03:12 Miami vs. Texas A&M Predictions 01:09:26 Final ThoughtsRoofing issues?

Toast has a whole new background in his studio, and Scoop celebrates a milestone birthday as we kick off this week's show, which is all about the aftermath of Miami making the College Football Playoff. We also have some All-American honors as Malachi Toney rakes in titles across the board, beyond just the Freshman group, and how he could be a Heisman favorite going into next season. And everyone has opinions about what Miami will go shopping for in the portal this upcoming season, especially how the quarterback might look over the next few years.We also take a look at the status of our two coordinators, as Shannon Dawson and Corey Hetherman's names have come up in a lot of coaching discussions this offseason. And the fallout with Miami being the last team in, and Notre Dame being the first team out, has exploded across the College Football landscape, including Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua trying to burn down ND's relationship with the ACC. That includes amazing audio from Big12 Commissioner Brett Yormark burning the Notre Dame AD for the way he handled Miami missing the Playoffs.Our friend and our NEW MERCH partner AB joins the show to announce the new line of OBB merch available for sale at www.aboutthefans.com including the "A Gap for Life" shirt that helped change Miami's offensive direction going into the last four games of the season. And lifelong Canes fan AB talks about celebrating the moment of Miami getting selected with his 9-year-old son, and what that moment has really meant to true Miami fans who have suffered from the outside for the last 20 years.And while Notre Dame's national media collapse was initially the story of the week, Michigan said "hold my beer" by firing head coach Sherrone Moore with cause which spun into one of the wildest stories of the year so far. Plus audio from Eric MacLain on the ACC Network saying Miami is going to be a "matchup nightmare" for Texas A&M because they are a team that cannot be bullied. Everyone also has thoughts about Utah Athletics partnering with private equity for the future of their athletic program and how this will be a test case for the entire college football world going forward.We close out the show with Marcell Reed on RG3's podcast, responding to Robert's "Estonian" wife, asking about what would happen if Miam offered him $4 million, some funny audio of the week from UConn head coach Dan Hurley, and everyone's picks for the Army-Navy game!This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing,the Miami Hurricane Team Store, Underdog Fantasy & BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Welcome to Episode 421 01:55 Aging and Humor 03:51 College Football Drama 05:49 All-American Honors 06:30 Quarterback and Recruitment Talk 08:40 Offensive Line Discussion 16:07 Coaching Changes and Speculations 19:18 Notre Dame Controversy 27:26 OBB Merchandise Launch & Partners32:08 Playoff Excitement 35:03 Shocking Notre Dame Playoff Odds 35:48 The Notre Dame-Miami Rivalry 37:20 Miami Hurricanes Uniform Redesign 38:18 Merchandise Launch Announcement 43:35 Notre Dame's Elitist Mentality 47:10 College Football Coaching Scandals 51:12 Texas A&M vs. Miami Preview 55:44 Private Equity in College Athletics 01:06:33 Army-Navy Game Predictions 01:09:01 Upcoming College Football PlayoffRoofing issues?
