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.

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.

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 Intro 00:30 Diana Russini Saga 03:30 2015 Redskins GM Affair Accusation Resurfaced 04:30 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 Clip 08:00 The Saxophone / "Lick the Reed" Clip 11:30 Artemis Moon Launch — CNN Kid's All-Time Live TV Moment 13:00 The Loud Italian Father's Moon Landing Rant 15:30 Matt Gaetz on Alien-Human Hybrid Breeding Programs 17:30 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 Unveiled 26:00 The Bat Flip Burger 27:30 Five Questions — Q1: Wild Animal Pet 29:30 Q2: Male Version of Receiving Flowers 32:00 Q3: 80s Trend to Bring Back 33:30 Q4: Film to Watch Again for the First Time 36:00 Q5: Oddest Pet Ritual 41:30 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 Intro 00:30 Where's Scoop Been?  02:00 The Kia Telluride Hidden Arrow 03:30 Paul Bange Hat Returns! 07:00 OBB Blog Recap 08:00 March Madness Show Title Bracket Champion 10:30 Israel Abrams Commits to Miami (Pat McAfee Show) 15:30 Mensa & Malachi Tony — D-Dog Connection & #1 Jersey 17:00 Mario Cristobal Riding the Tight Ends in Practice 18:00 Bryce Fitzgerald on Mensa 20:30 Wide Receiver Room Depth 21:30 Why You Never Worry About the O-Line 24:00 Jalen Brewster — Chasing the #1 Overall Recruit 26:00 David Wilson as D-Line Alpha / Deepest Team in 20 Years 29:00 Defense Identity Shift Without Bain & Meador 31:00 Sponsors and Partners 33:30 Andrew Novak at the Masters — Behind the Scenes 37:00 Augusta Deep Dive — No Phones, $14 Food, Green Jackets 41:30 NCAA Age Eligibility Rule Explained 42:30 Trump Executive Order on Transfers 45:00 Show Title Vote 47:30 Outro & Big Interview Teaser  Roofing issues?

Instead of Spring ball, March Madness or mock drafts ... we're talking about coked-up sharks, high profile crossdressers, idiots in Zoom court, and for the first time ever... man is going to the moon! 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 Rules 23:51 Question 3 - Famous in 200 Years 26:37 Question 4 - Comfort Food Confessions  28:38 Question 5 - April Fools But Real  31:35 Naming the Episode  33:37 Wrap Up and Sign Off Roofing 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.

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.

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 Mixup 08:30 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 Partners 28:04 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.

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.

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 conversation This 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 Audio Roofing 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.

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."

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.
