    #459: Miami's Season Opener & NIL Payroll | Bill Cosby with a Pen

    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. Sign up for Obligatory Reading at orangebowlboys.com — the Monday morning newsletter drops at 6am.

    #458: Airline Insanity & 5 Questions | OBB Benched Ep 458 | The Spirit of the Seas

    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.

    #457: Miami AD Drama & Playoff Expansion | OBB Ep 457 | They Hang The Meat Outside in Texas

    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.

    #456: 1500 Feet of Tiramisu & 5 Questions | OBB Benched Ep 456 | Miss Congealiality

    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.

    #455: Miami's New AD & 9 Draft Picks | OBB Episode 455 | A Huge Deedo

    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.

    #454: Parachute Guy Gets Stuck on Scoreboard, Finnish Air Force Draws Members & The Wienermobile Goes to Prom | OBB Benched | "The Book of Glizzy"

    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?

    #452: Diana Russini Scandal, Taxidermy Pets & A WILD Five Questions - OBB Benched Ep. 452 - A Poodle Named Scruffles

    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 it It's chaotic, it's unhinged, and Scruffles haunts every minute of it. Subscribe so you never miss an episode of OBB Benched. Like the video if you made it to the frozen cat story. Drop a comment — what's YOUR worst song lyric?
