#479: Miami Camp 1 Week Away | We Found Something
6d ago00:38:13Tap to summarizeRo's off in the Keys chasing lobster, so it's Jenners, Scoop, and Toast holding down the show three days before Miami's 2026 fall camp officially opens. The guys get into whether last year's back-half surge was a real foundational shift for this program or just a hot streak that happened to end at the right time — breaking down the offensive line, a running back room that's the same faces with a different mentality, and a wide receiver group they think is one of the deepest in the country.From there it's a full defensive line check-in (Lightfoot, Damon Wilson, Blount, Hayden Lowe) before the crew gets into Todd McShay's praise for five-star quarterback commit Darian Mensah and what a locked-in QB1 means for how Miami spends money everywhere else on the roster. They also run through PFF's early returning ACC quarterback rankings and argue about who's missing from the list.Outside of Coral Gables, the guys break down North Carolina showing GM Michael Lombardi the door before Labor Day, then play a game guessing how long Bill Belichick survives the season given his record without Tom Brady. FSU fans get a bonus storyline too — Tom Herman reportedly signed on as an hourly staffer making $25 an hour while still owed millions from his LSU buyout.Camp opens next Tuesday, so consider this the last quiet week before things get real.

1w ago00:29:21Tap to summarizeInstead of tampering, tired narratives or big game anticipation... we're talking about gender confusion, old lady asses, sewer people and vacuum cleaner sex... welcome to OBB Benched!The guys start off arguing about a couple of new streaming shows — a prison-break thriller called I Will Find You and a little-people dating show on HBO Max that spirals into a full debate over Peter Dinklage and the Snow White remake. From there it's Mike Tyson at the ESPYs not knowing who Shohei Ohtani is, which somehow becomes the highlight of the whole segment.Then it's two Florida stories back to back — a 77-year-old woman with an extremely unfortunate randomized license plate, and a Central Florida man who made the news for what he was doing with a vacuum cleaner in broad daylight. In between, there's a real, honest-to-God mystery about groups of people sneaking into the New York City sewer system at night that nobody can quite explain.The back half is Five Questions: the coolest last name anyone's ever heard, the greatest uniform in sports history, a decision made in under five seconds that changed somebody's life, the word that instantly ruins a sentence, and the one animal that's a flat-out 10 out of 10 masterpiece. Kangaroo, horse, and tiger all get their case made. As always, a handful of new show-title finalists get floated along the way.For the full breakdown of Miami football, ACC news, and everything serious, check out the main Orange Bowl Boys feed — this is just where the crew comes to be ridiculous.#OBBBenched #OrangeBowlBoys #MiamiHurricanes 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: Welcome to Benched00:58 TV Talk: I Will Find You01:55 TV Talk: Little Singles & the Peter Dinklage Discourse03:33 Show-Naming Bit Kicks Off Early03:55 Mike Tyson, Jake Paul & the ESPYs06:04 Florida Story: The License Plate07:34 License Plate Side Quest08:58 The NYC Sewer People Mystery12:52 Florida Story: The Vacuum Cleaner Incident14:45 Mel Brooks Turns 10015:09 Five Questions: Coolest Last Name17:06 Five Questions: Best Uniform in Sports20:11 Five Questions: A Five-Second Life-Changing Decision22:28 Five Questions: The Word That Instantly Annoys You25:09 Five Questions: The 10/10 Animal27:50 Naming the Show & Sign OffOBB Benched, Episode 476 is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com.

Transcribe →#477: Miami's Superstar Snub | Candice Everdeen
2w ago00:42:25Tap to summarizeBig news out of the Roman household before the football even starts tonight — Tali is officially headed to Loyola Marymount to play beach volleyball, and Ro takes you through the whole recruiting journey, including the moment she almost talked herself out of leaving Miami. From there it's straight into ACC Media Week, where Darian Mensah explains why he left Duke for the freedom of Shannon Dawson's offense, and the crew breaks down the money situation that pushed him out of that Duke locker room in the first place. Manny Diaz gets his say on the tampering questions that followed Mensah to Coral Gables, and Pat Narduzzi gets absolutely nothing but grief for it.From there the running back room conversation takes over — is this current Miami group the best the program has ever had, and how does it stack up against the Gore-Portis-McGahee era? Ro tells the story of the very first recruiting tape he ever watched, thirty years ago, and who was on it. Then the real outrage of the week: Malachi Toney getting left off the ACC Preseason Offensive Player of the Year ballot entirely, while Darian Mensah gets the nod for Miami. The guys argue about whether the one-player-per-team rule makes any sense at all.Second half of the show goes fully off the rails — a countdown to kickoff on the whiteboard at home, a look ahead at what might be the best Saturday of college football all year on November 7th, some FSU bulletin board material that gets an immediate response, and a tangent about a certain senator's whereabouts that somehow ends with a full breakdown of tortoise lifespans, geography, and mating habits. And yes, they finally land on a name for the show, after floating about six different options in the last ten minutes.#OrangeBowlBoys #MiamiHurricanes #ACCFootballOrange Bowl Boys | Episode 477 is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Cold Open & Bourbon Cheers01:09 Big News: Tali Commits to LMU04:10 LA Logistics and Smog Jokes05:32 ACC Media Week Recap Begins06:34 Darian Mensah on Leaving Duke for Miami07:50 The Duke Locker Room Money Situation11:19 Manny Diaz on the Tampering Question13:01 Pat Narduzzi and the Pitt Rivalry15:32 Fletcher on Miami's Running Back Room16:33 Best RB Room Ever?

2w ago00:44:08Tap to summarizeInstead of top players, big commits and preseason rankings, we're absolutely loaded with greedy owners, bad fighters, angy Bison and penis fires... welcome to OBB Benched!Ro's out this week, so Jenners, Toast, and Scoop turn Benched into a full five-questions gauntlet: five unhinged stories from the week, one debate after each.First up, the Carolina Hurricanes' Stanley Cup engraving controversy — owner Tom Dundon put his entire family's names on the top two lines of the Cup, ahead of staff who've been with the franchise for decades. That spirals into which pro franchise the guys would each buy if they had the money (spoiler: nobody wants 81 home baseball games).Then Conor McGregor's big UFC comeback lasts about a minute before a suspicious knee injury ends the night, which gets the guys arguing about the worst sporting events they've ever personally paid money to sit through. A grandfather at Yellowstone getting launched by a bison mid-photo-op leads into the show's best family legend stories — a pool full of roaches, a broom fight nobody in the neighborhood ever forgot, and a drive shaft that fell out of a car in the middle of the night.Kristin Cavallari's coach-class-for-the-kids, first-class-for-mom travel policy gets put on trial, Crumbl Cookie's new "dirty soda" gets dragged for having the sugar content of nearly 30 donuts, and the episode closes on a story out of Indiana that's genuinely hard to summarize — you'll just have to listen. 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: Intro & Ro's Out This Week01:00 Five Questions Format Explained01:30 Story 1: Stanley Cup Owner Engraves His Whole Family First04:30 Question 1: If You Owned Any Pro Franchise...07:00 Tangent: The Atlanta Hawks' Secret Celebrity Owner09:00 Story 2: Conor McGregor's UFC Comeback Implodes10:00 Did McGregor Fake the Knee Injury?11:30 Question 2: Worst Sporting Event You Paid to Watch14:00 Story 3: Grandpa vs. Bison at Yellowstone16:00 Play-by-Play of the Bison Chase Video18:00 Question 3: The Craziest Family Story23:00 Story 4: Kristin Cavallari's Coach-Class Rule29:00 Question 4: Best Lesson Your Parents Taught You31:30 Tangent: Crumbl's Absurd Dirty Soda Sugar Content36:00 Story 5: Indiana Man's Bizarre Arson Case39:30 Question 5: Craziest Person You've Ever Known42:30 Show Title Brainstorm & Wrap-UpOBB Benched, Episode 476 is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com.

Transcribe →#475: Miami at ACC Kickoff | The Other Gary Patterson
3w ago01:02:03Tap to summarizeRo's off the grid this week (cruise ship, matching-T-shirt family vibes, send thoughts and prayers), so the guys bring in Lakers Canes 305 himself, Mando, to help break down ACC Kickoff. And there's a lot to get to.Our boy John Michaels sat down with Mario Cristobal at ACC Media Days, and the group runs through the good stuff: Mario on whether last year's title game loss counts as a failure, why the fan base finally feels different heading into a season, and the recruiting machine that's turned Miami into the team nobody wants to face on the trail. There's also a stretch on his phone — the man is carrying over 10,000 unread text messages, and the crew has a lot of feelings about that.From there it's the ACC's freshly rewritten tiebreaker rule (yes, this is a direct response to last year's mess), a new name running the league's officiating department, and the CBS Sports take that Miami now has the best running back room in the country — with a depth chart so loaded that last year's starter is currently number four.The back half is all Florida State. Tom Herman is in Tallahassee now, and the guys play out the schedule week by week trying to figure out exactly when he takes over for Norvell. Spoiler: nobody in that building is going 500.Plus a full look at Miami's 2026 schedule, the World Cup and Open Championship betting card, and Mondo sticks around long enough to get roped into naming the episode.

3w ago00:41:54Tap to summarizeInstead of ACC Kickoff, corporate sponsorships or snubs... we're talking about sad fans, Florida women and butt drugs... welcome to OBB Benched!474 opens with the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding chaos, including Charles Barkley explaining, better than anyone possibly could, why he skipped it to go play golf instead.From there it's an extended tour through Ro's empty-house bachelor diet — cottage cheese, arugula, monk fruit, and a Ninja CREAMi doing more work than it should. The guys rank ice cream flavors, discover Culver's, argue about Frostys, and somehow still find time for a viral clip of a five-year-old Mets fan having an existential crisis on camera.This week's Florida Woman story is one for the record books, Sophie Cunningham gets her flowers as the most quotable athlete in the WNBA right now, and the crew debates TV's most evil villains before landing on a couple of streaming recommendations worth checking out.Five Questions closes out the show, covering everything from soccer positions to worst addictions to the most peaceful moment of each guy's life — and yes, it gets weird before it gets sentimental.

4w ago00:44:33Tap to summarizeFootball season is officially in the on-deck circle. Ro, Jenners, Scoop, and Toast open up 473 with ACC Media Kickoff a week away and a full slate of Miami news to get through — but before any of that, Ro shares something personal: the story of his daughter Natalia's comeback from ACL surgery, from the stage in Orlando where she got hurt to the same stage a year later, where she came back and reclaimed it. It's a rare unguarded moment for the show, and it hits.From there it's back to business as usual down at the Green Tree. College Football 27 finally dropped, and the guys have a field day with the fact that Mario Cristobal opted out of being the Canes' in-game coach avatar — which means the honor falls to a fictional Leo Hernandez, kicking off a bit that runs for the rest of the episode.The crew works through the CBS Sports wide receiver room rankings controversy (spoiler: they think Miami got robbed), Ahmad Moten cracking ESPN's top five defensive players in the country, and who's actually heading to ACC Media Days to represent the U. There's also a long stretch on the international soccer fandom taking over South Florida during the Club World Cup, a new Big 12 sponsorship deal with Monster Energy that has the guys doing math on what conference-wide naming rights are actually worth, and an MLB Draft weekend preview with a couple of Miami commits worth tracking.As always, it wouldn't be an OBB episode without a tangent or six — golf talk ahead of the Open Championship, a cruise line debate, a baseball coach story that goes somewhere nobody expects, and the crew's ongoing search for what to actually name this episode.Big thanks to our partners this week: Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease (ask for Drew), and Beatin the Bookie for keeping South Florida covered on roofs, rides, and picks.Go Canes.Orange Bowl Boys | Episode 473 is presented by Paul Bange Roofing, Rapid Auto Lease, and BeatinTheBookie.com.00:00 Cold Open: ACC Kickoff Countdown Begins02:00 Ro Opens Up: Natalia's ACL Comeback Story08:30 College Football 27 Drops (and Coach Leo Hernandez Takes Over)12:00 ACC Media Days Are One Week Away13:30 World Cup Fever and the Viral Fan Reactions16:00 Why International Soccer Fandom Hits Different19:00 USMNT's Rough Stretch and Alexi Lalas21:00 Cam Ward's Legacy and Miami's Mount Rushmore Debate22:00 Miami's Three Reps Heading to ACC Media Days23:30 CBS Sports' Wide Receiver Room "Snub" Debate26:00 Ahmad Moten and Miami's Stacked Front Seven28:30 Sponsors and Partners33:00 The Monster Energy Big 12 Sponsorship Bombshell35:00 Yormark Dodges the Soresby Question36:00 Who Should the ACC Sell Naming Rights To?37:00 Cruise Talk, Coach Frank's Wipes Story, and MLB Draft Watch39:00 MLB's Looming Lockout and Baseball's Pace Problem42:30 Naming the EpisodeSubscribe and hit the bell so you never miss an episode.

Jun 2900:45:59Tap to summarizeInstead of Notre Dame delusions, video game rankings or recruiting... we're talking about Giannis, Russini, bees, body parts and pickleball fights... welcome to OBB Benched!The guys kick things off debating which South Florida acquisition is bigger right now — Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Heat or Brady Tkachuk to the Panthers. The answer might surprise you, because the Panthers argument is pretty airtight. Three trips to the Cup, a roster full of guys still in their mid-to-late 20s, and now reports of the Panthers potentially landing Connor Hellebuyck from Winnipeg. If that trade happens, Toast makes the case this could be one of the best teams in NHL history. The Heat situation is more complicated — Giannis is 31, the salary cap is already torched with Bam, and the last time the Heat made real noise it was in a bubble with Jimmy Butler. Cautious optimism at best.The Diana Russini story makes its way to Benched — The New York Times (which owns The Athletic) ran a big piece on her, and the guys have some thoughts about a reported $800K annual salary that nobody saw coming. The conversation goes places.Then Scoop mentions a bar on Sunrise Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale that he drove past with his daughters in the car. Jenners makes the mistake of Googling it. What follows is about five minutes of the crew slowly discovering the 321 Slammer website, its gallery, and its monthly event calendar. Highlights include a fistology night and Bear Union Wednesdays. Toast ends up explaining what a bear is to the group. This is Benched at its finest.Two million bees escaped from an overturned 18-wheeler in Orange County, Texas on Father's Day, which leads into a surprisingly genuine conversation about how fascinating bee colonies actually are, and how beekeepers find the queen in a swarm of 2 million insects. Then a Florida woman beats a guy with a pickleball paddle over a ball retrieval dispute. She gave police a fake name. She's a nurse.Five Questions this week: the funniest kid from high school and where they ended up, what everyone in their 30s should know by now (changing a tire and the word "ask"), what cartoon deserves a comeback (ThunderCats is already in production apparently, but Toast goes Hong Kong Phooey), and then a legitimate debate breaks out about whether we actually landed on the moon. Scoop is not convinced. Toast tries. The last question — what movie should never be remade — produces a solid list: The Natural, Field of Dreams, Back to the Future, Shawshank Redemption, The Fugitive, The Game, and Usual Suspects.Show title vote at the end: Float Full of Me's narrowly edges out Find the Queen and Don't Go to the Gallery. Go Canes. Bang.

Transcribe →#471: Miami Disrespect Everywhere | Show Me Where Zeus Touched You
Jun 2500:50:29Tap to summarizeScoop is back from his real estate tour of the Northeast, and the Field of Dreams story alone is worth the price of admission. He rented the house — the actual house — turned the lights on at the Field of Dreams in Dyersville, Iowa, and yes, the old box TV with the flashing 12 clock is still in there. He also swung through Mystic, Watch Hill, Newport, and Nantucket, and came home with two strong opinions: Nantucket is everything, and New Haven pizza is a crime against food.But this is still a Miami Hurricanes football show, so we get into it. Malik Zaire went on X to talk sideways about Mario Cristobal and the Canes' chances against Notre Dame in November, and the guys had plenty to say in return — starting with where Riley Leonard came from, and ending with a pretty thorough case that Mario has the resume edge over Marcus Freeman. The November matchup has the feel of a potential CFP seeding game, and nobody's sleeping on it.On the roster side, there's real optimism about Jaxon Cantwell on the offensive line (the boys describe him as having been "touched by Zeus," which about covers it), and a genuinely fascinating quarterback room situation brewing with Derry Mensah, Dereon, Luke, and the incoming five-star. The ESPN projection that has Miami winning the ACC and then losing at home to Oregon in the first round? The guys were not buying it.College football headlines dominate the back half. Brendan Sorsby got his NFL supplemental draft petition rejected — and the guys are largely fine with that, even if there's some nuance around whether it's addiction or just a spectacularly bad decision. The NFL's letter to his camp was a masterpiece of institutional shade. Then the NCAA actually did something: a new five-year eligibility window starting at 18 or 19, no more red shirts, no more 27-year-olds suiting up in bowl games. Long overdue.The show closes with a conversation that started as Louisville's $30 million athletic department deficit and turned into something bigger — the declining U.S. birth rate, shrinking college enrollment, and what all of that means for programs that are already running in the red. If you've been wondering why conference realignment feels so financially desperate, this might explain some of it.Go Canes.

Transcribe →#470: Diabolical Women & 5 Questions | OBB Benched | Scoop in Suspense
Jun 2200:44:46Tap to summarizeInstead of preseason accolades, culture changes and QB controversies... we're talking about choke jobs, foreigners and diabolical Florida women. Welcome to OBB Benched!The episode kicks off with a proper argument for the greatest choke job in professional sports history — and no, it's not the 2016 Warriors (although somebody does bring up the 2004 Yankees). The San Antonio Spurs led for 72% of the NBA Finals, blew double-digit leads in all four losses, and somehow handed the New York Knicks their first championship in decades. Wembanyama takes some heat too — though the guys are pretty clear he's gonna be a problem for a long time.Then things take a turn toward the World Cup and all the foreigners who've been stumbling into Buc-ee's for the first time. There's a French guy's review that is genuinely one of the funnier things you'll hear this week. That leads to a full Buc-ee's CEO guessing game and then an actual ranked breakdown of which states have the most Waffle Houses (Georgia is not even close, by the way — 433 to Florida's 185).The story of the week, though? A Florida woman who spent six months sneaking into her ex's apartment once a week — not to steal anything, just to move his furniture a few inches at a time. The man scheduled an eye exam, a neurological consultation, and a full home inspection. She just wanted him to feel the confusion she felt when he left her. Diabolical. Brilliant. Florida.Roman rounds it out with five questions: worst James Bond casting choice (Joanne Bond from the HOA gets floated), the widow maker in your career or hobby, movie quotes 90% of people actually know, the biggest design flaw in the human body, and unusual reasons you wouldn't date someone. Fran Drescher laughs and man hands both come up. Oh, and the boys spend the last few minutes cooking up a plan to trick Scoop into listening to an episode he'd normally ignore. The mission: name it something that personally confuses him enough that he has to tune in. We'll see if it works next week. Roddenberry's Ghost Balls. Go Canes.
