Orange Bowl Boys: A Miami Hurricanes Podcast

MIAMI WINS 26-7 VS FLORIDA - Orange Bowl Boys Recap Show Sep 21, 2025

It's the 4-0 Recap Show!! And Toast shows up to the show dressed like a priest to administer last rights to the Florida-UM rivalry game, since it won't be played again possibly ever. We start with the big upsides from the win, which starts with how dominant the Miami defense was against the Gators and how we feel like there are no more fire alarms on that side of the ball. They were incredible last night.

Everyone has big praise for Rueben Bain who showed yet again that he is the best defensive player in the country. And the question is quickly posed about whether we'll be able to hang onto Hetherman into next season if this defense continues to dominate the way they are. Also it seemed like everyone was making excuses for just how bad DJ Lagway has been this year and how the Florida fanbase is trying to put that blame on Billy.

Then we shift over the offense... which, while Fletcher dominated on the ground, seemed to get stuck in the mud for the better part of two quarters. Roman was at the game and comments about just how good the Florida secondary was doing keeping Carson Beck limited to the check-down options. And everyone wants to know why Dawson didn't try to flip the script as the offense got bogged down and struggled, and Roman thinks there is an offensive void that needs to be filled.

The officials also admitted that they made a mistake by blowing the whistle on the Brown run that took a touchdown off the board, and how nothing happened to the refs even though it changed the entire pace of the game. Toast also gauges everyone's confidence level going into the bye week after a game where Miami struggled offensively, especially as they gear up to head to Doke to face the Seminoles in two weeks. And it wouldn't be a show unless we took some time to dance on Clemson's grave after another horrible loss for Dabo.

#394: Miami Week 4 vs Florida with Josh Pray - A Jacory Harris Cosplay Sep 18, 2025

It's Florida week and we're joined by hilarious Gator fan Josh Pray!! Right out of the gate everyone calls for a wild scene this Saturday night at Hard Rock and how angry Mario seems going into this week. Josh also breaks down how lost Gator fans were after Lagway's FIFTH interception against LSU and just how delusional their fan base really is after buying into the offseason lies about Florida. And Josh pulls no punches about how he feels about Carson Beck.

Hilariously Josh goes in on Miami offensive line, does not let up on Carson Beck, and tries to somehow put the Gators up against Miami's talent. Josh also tries to argue that UF has been way more relevant than Miami over the last 20 years, having won a more recent national title, and everyone realizes that all-time bragging rights are on the table because this will be the last head-to-head for a long time to come.

Josh also gets introduced to correspondent IP Daley who drops BOMBS on the Gators and leaves Josh a bit speechless. And Josh breaks out his classic Mike Tomlin impression, only to reveal that Tomlin hates his impression so he decided to retire it for a while but thinks it's time to bring it back. And the debate rages about what fanbase is better.

And after Josh jumps off, we get to the big headlines of the week, including Miami climbing to #4 in the Top 25, and how Miami is going to have a solid plan to really shut down the Gators this weekend. We also take a look back at Hylton Stubbs saying Florida was in a better situation last December after he flipped and how, while he made an overall mistake, we understand that after that Syracuse game it made sense in the moment. Everyone also brings their Three Keys to a Miami win over the Gators, ranging from Carson Beck's performance, the offensive line play, and rattling DJ Lagway.

Audio of the week comes to us from Dabo Swinney, who got a little huffy with the media after a couple of terrible losses to start this season, and Mike McDaniel dropping an all-time quote after the Dolphins embarrassing loss to the Patriots. And a huge slate of Week 4 Pick 'Ems!

MIAMI WINS 49-12 VS USF - Orange Bowl Boys Recap Show Sep 14, 2025

There was a lot of Bull Riding on the CW today as the Canes absolutely dominated the South Florida Bulls. Right out of the gate, Roman has props to Miami OC Shannon Dawson for making the offense feel as though it's not missing a lot by losing Cam Ward to the NFL, which seems like an almost impossible task. Scoop also has roses for the offense, especially after this performance over the Bulls, even if there continues to be a complete lack of tight ends in the scheme.

Rueben Bain showed that he deserves to be in New York as a Heisman finalist, because he continues to be an absolute game wrecker in all scenarios. And Malachi Toney continues to show that he's wise beyond his years after having another monster game. And Toast makes a huge (possible homer-ish) declaration that Miami is already the best team in the country and it's just a matter of a few weeks before the college football world catches up with that idea. He also says that Mario has now gotten Miami to the level of Oregon, as Lanning has held them exactly where they were when they had Mario.

Everyone also starts to look at their season predictions now that Miami is rolling the way they are, and Scoop admits that if he has THIS Miami team all the way they may not lose a game. And will we actually have two guys on the stage in New York with Beck and Bain both owning their individual sides of the ball. Plus we kick around some of the biggest stories and scores from the day, with Georgia coming back to beat Tennessee in overtime, Clemson going down to Georgia Tech in Atlanta, and how our picks shook out headed into Sunday.

#393: Miami Week 3 vs USF - A Woody for Trap Coverage Sep 12, 2025

It's USF Week and we joke about Scoop being conflicted - as he's a die hard Canes fan, but a USF alum, and even jokes that he was always a Canes fan even when he was a student there. But USF is the darling week, with Josh Pate even putting them at #5 on his Commissioner's Poll. But no one on the show is buying the hype, with Roman even going deep into the film on the USF vs UF game and coming out more impressed with Miami after seeing how they both played.

Scoop also wants to know what everyone has been most impressed with from Carson Beck through the first two weeks - and answers range from comfort in the offense, attitude and accuracy. And it's almost hard to believe that we have the top PFF-rated wide receiver duo in the country with CJ Daniels and Malachi Toney, plus we're getting Jo Jo and Jordan Lyle back this week to even bolster the offense more.

Everyone lays out their Three Keys to the Game - which Roman has to remind us to do because we spiral down the UF rabbit hole - and everyone seems to need eyes on Byrum Brown, controlling the tempo and covering in man when it matters most. Plus audio of the week from AP voter Haley Sawyer - who moved UF UP after losing to USF last week - and we have some laughs at the expense of crying Gators bloggers from last week's loss.

Roman also starts bringing a "Woof of the Week" which this week goes to the Miami Dolphins after a horrendous Week 1 performance. And a huge Week 3 of Pick 'Ems with some of the biggest games of the week!

#392: Miami Week 2 vs Bethune - Bias Bozos Sep 04, 2025

We are still coming in hot off that big victory over Notre Dame, and we are thrilled to see the way the defense played against a really tough offense... and Toast is getting cautiously more optimistic. Plus Scoop is finally starting to come around on the wide receivers room, especially after he was bullied by Andrew Novak for not having faith in those guys. And everyone has praise for the overall play of the defense and how that could be the wild card for us this season.

Mario also said this week that if the team improves a little each week that it could be a special season, and how everyone thinks that Notre Dame could have been a blowout if they were just a little better in a few areas. And we still have whining Notre Dame fans crying about that loss. Plus everyone has something to say about the downfall of the mighty Alabama Crimson Tide, as they took an embarrassing L to Florida State. Yes, even against Bethune, everyone has their Three Keys to a Miami win.

Did Mario think that Notre Dame still had a timeout on the 3rd and 4 run play at the end of the game? If so, Roman feels like that's a troubling sign after a few huge coaching missteps last season. Plus the Lane Kiffin audio surfaced this week regarding an incident where a defensive lineman was thrown off the team and is now suing the school, along with audio of Dabo Swinney and Brian Kelly exchanging barbs after last weekend's LSU-Clemson game. And don't miss an ugly-games, who-cares Week 2 round of Pick 'ems!

MIAMI WINS 27-24 VS NOTRE DAME - Orange Bowl Boys 2025 Week 1 Recap Show Sep 01, 2025

It was a HUGE Week 1 win for the Miami Hurricanes in a straight-up fist fight with Notre Dame. And while we struggled in the fourth quarter, the defense came up big when it counted most and the kicking game delivered. So we start by recognizing Carter Davis who hit a HUGE kick to take the lead late in the fourth quarter, after we spent the week a little afraid of what the kicking game was going to look like. What an ending!

There are a lot of props (and critiques) to go around, as a lot of Canes fans were frustrated with some of the offensive play calling even though Beck really had a solid night with two touchdowns and ZERO interceptions... even though that was the narrative around Beck, right? And while we all thought we'd miss X going into this season, our boy Malachi Toney was absolutely sensational and a huge factor in this win.

On Notre Dame's side of the ball, we felt like CJ Carr looked a lot like Emory Williams, in that they kept his game plan a little too simple and it cost the Irish in the end. And why didn't get more Jeremiyah Love all game? Scoop calls it gross negligence on the offensive coordinators for the Irish. And how do we not recognize one of the best catches by a Miami Hurricane we've ever seen by CJ Daniels - hang it in the Louvre! Ro already says it's going to be his Paul Bange "Blow the Roof Off" clip of the week as we all reel about how great that moment was in such a big game.

And some of the things that were on our radar for improvement were the use of the tight ends, and whether or not our linebackers are going to be able to cover after giving up a couple of big plays. Toast also spotlights that botched snap early in the game, some struggles with tackling, and the offense's unwillingness to run anywhere except up the middle even when it wasn't working. Plus everyone is concerned about the lack of defense against a mobile quarterback, but we're willing to give Hetherman and the defense a pass because we didn't know anything about CJ Carr's running ability.

#391: Miami Week 1 vs Notre Dame - I Don't Like Hitters Aug 28, 2025

We are ready!! It's officially FOOTBALL SEASON as Miami kicks off the 2025 season against Notre Dame this Sunday night and everyone on the show is hyped for this one. The narrative seems to be all about the history of this matchup and Miami never being able to fill the Rock, but we all feel like this one is going to deliver in a huge way for the Canes. But we aren't sleeping on Notre Dame, because Jeremiyah Love and the coaching are both exceptional for the Irish coming into this season.

Toast thinks this game hinges on the Miami secondary, largely because of the money that was spent to rebuild that position group. But Roman feels like while this game would not be a playoff eliminator for Miami, it could be for Notre Dame. And everyone lays out the things that scare us most on the chance we lose this game. Our boy Roddy Jones also brings up an amazing point on his ACC Network podcast this week about the narrative surrounding Carson Beck's interceptions and how it would change dramatically if you look at the interceptions that were not on Beck.

And it's the official return of everyone's Three Keys to the Game - where Scoop needs us to slow down Jeremiyah Love, Toast has eyes on the secondary, and Roman wants the crowd to blow the roof off the Rock. Plus we touch on Arch Manning's quote of the week and set some expectations for the young man, Bryce Underwood setting a high bar for Michigan fandom and himself, and some audio of the week from Marlins closer Tyler Phillips who dropped an all-time post-game interview.

We officially go through the first HUGE week of games for the official return of Pick 'Ems! The games on the docket are Georgia Tech at Colorado, #1 Texas at #3 Ohio State, Syracuse at #24 Tennessee, #8 Alabama at Florida State, #9 LSU at #4 Clemson, Virginia Tech at #13 South Carolina... and of course #6 Notre Dame at #10 Miami! And we make our score predictions for the Miami game and lay out how we think it will go.

#390: Miami 2025 Win-Loss Predictions - The Demon's Scepter Aug 21, 2025

We have to open this week's show by addressing the Notre Dame fan base coming for the OBB's this week and how hostile the fan base got over our critique of their program going into the Week 1 showdown. And as we recap the back-and-forths this week, our old friend IP Daley joins the show to drop bombs on the Irish faithful after an eventful week online.

Plus we go through the 2025 Miami Hurricanes schedule and do the win-loss predictions, and everyone is all over the place. Toast has us at 11-1 with a season ending loss to Pitt... both Roman and Jenners have the Canes going 10-2 with Ro predicting losses to Louisville and VA Tech and Jenners calling SMU and VA Tech... and Scoop lands at a disappointing 8-4, with losses to Louisville, SMU, Syracuse and VA Tech.

Josh Pate also had some great perspective on how the Miami secondary's evolution this season could hold the keys to the ACC this year, which spins us into a debate about how that translates to Miami's week 1 matchup against Notre Dame. And as the Auburn claiming National Championships conversation comes about, we wonder if there are any titles out there for Miami to grab. We also touch on Michigan's SOFT penalties for the cheating scandal and the nonsense about expanding the Playoff to a 28 team field.

Believe it or not we have our first week of Pick 'Ems for Week 0 - regardless of how obscure the games are - and it's the FINAL week of Five Questions until the season concludes. Roman rolls them out this week including what you think when you pee, your favorite music video, who'd you swap your parents for, what sense you'd like to improve, what hobbies attract the biggest assholes, and the most memorable question from this year's season of Five Seasons.

#389: Miami Week 1 Preview vs Notre Dame - Shohei Mateer Aug 15, 2025

We have officially abandoned the Chapters under the individual head coaches and welcome the fan base to Episode 389 of the Orange Bowl Boys! Roman wore an offensive shirt out in public today which brings about a funny conversation about offensive things we see out in the world. And with the Canes officially in pads we head on down to Greentree, where we jump into the CBS prediction that Miami will lose in Week 1 to Notre Dame. Plus it was a nice moment for Al Golden to get his Broyles Award delivered to the Bengals facility this week.

The debate also breaks into Carson Beck's confidence going into Week 1 versus what Notre Dame will be rolling out under center against the Canes. Scoop also makes it a point to bring up Shannon Dawson's praise for the receiver room and how confident he is in their ability to run anything he throws at them. Toast also wants to know how the guys would feel if Luke Nickel didn't win the QB3 spot and what that would mean for the quarterback room beyond Carson Beck.

Plus we touch on the 2025 "impatient index" and how Miami fans have basically been on that list for about 20 years, and the nonsense about other Florida schools getting aggravated that Miami took the award as the best college football program in the state. And of course we dive into the John Mateer Venmo betting scandal that dominated the college football world this week, and what it means going into Week 1 if he has to sit during an investigation. On3's Blue Bloods list really set the Internet on fire this week and of course everyone has an opinion about who really deserves to be on the list.

Audio of the week runs from Tom Brady taking a wonderful shot at Jets fans, how 76ers star Tyrese Maxey doesn't know how to use a can opener, the viral woman who laid out the list of demands she has for a man, and a montage of people with the weirdest laughs cracks up the show. And Roman's Five Questions this week asks us to take a band member from one band and putting them into another, what we'd say to ruin a first date, what we'd be surprised by after waking up from a 25 year coma, the last movie that made us cry, and what we want our last words to be.

#182: Miami's Preseason Ranking - Good Possum Face Aug 08, 2025

Toast's nephew is officially on campus at UM getting ready to play baseball for the Canes, Roman's daughter is his hero, and Metallica's potential residency at the Vegas sphere has us all pumped up for this week's show. And as camp officially opens down in Coral Gables, Mario appears to be more calm and relaxed going into the season, a different vibe from the last few seasons. Scoop is big on Carson Beck as he's begun watching him throw, and as such we debate Phil Steele rating the Miami Wide Receiver room as #23 in the country.

Mario enters year #4 with some big expectations for Toast, even though Scoop feels like even if he falls short again this year his job is still secure. And Danny Kanell had some terrible opinions about Miami going into the season - an easy job for an obnoxious FSU guy - but it's so off base that it becomes comical. Plus we somehow get into the kicking competition at camp and how nervous we are after losing an automatic kicker like Andy Boregales.

The Wheel of Topics this week includes another WNBA dildo-throwing incident and what it will take for that to eventually stop... even though we find it hilarious. Plus the cancelling of Howard Stern at SiriusXM has been a long time coming despite an amazing career, President Trump butchering Tua's name during a press conference, the NFL's "ban" on smelling salts, and Louisiana's new law where slow drivers could face jail time.

And this week's Five Questions includes products designed for clueless consumers, celebrity rebrands that actually worked, things we'd throw on the WNBA floor if we were up to no good, the one thing that would kill our enemy if they were granted immortality, whether or not we'd support a social media ban for young kids, what animal would be the rudest, and what celebrity would look better after plastic surgery.

#181: Miami Camp Preview - Little Rock Hillary Jul 31, 2025

No chapter number from Toast, Roman has a new favorite whiskey and Scoop hasn't eaten... we get off to a strong start this week as everyone is a bit out of sorts. And we were all pleasantly surprised by Happy Gilmore 2, especially due to the great cameos and all the hilarious appearances by our favorite golfers. Plus we quickly get down to Greentree with news of Carson Beck making the Maxwell watch list, and how confident Roman and Toast are going into Notre Dame in Week 1.

As we dive into the Week 1 predictions, Roman knows the specific box that Carson Beck needs to check in order for him to be successful all season. Scoop also wants to know if the guys think this is the best offensive line since Mario has been here. We look at the list of coaches on the "hot seat" going into the season, and while it didn't include Mario, Miami is still a factor due to the big losses the last few seasons. Plus a conversation about Carson's efficiency numbers over the last few seasons and how great he was with receivers at UGA who couldn't catch the ball.

Toast runs down the ACC media member rankings by predicted finish, with Miami falling in at #2 behind Clemson who got the most first-place votes by a mile, which we disagree with. Scoop brings up the Deion Sanders story and how forthcoming and humble he's been about a tragic situation after his bladder removal, and how more people could learn from his level of transparency.

This week's wheel of audio includes Ichiro's shot at the Miami Marlins, the fan who threw a neon green dildo onto the floor during a WNBA game this week, and the Savannah Banana who face-planted live on CNN. Plus Roman's Five Questions includes the best ways to relax, what actor would kill it in a superhero movie, things that have us concerned about younger men, traits we admire most about our partners and the sexiest song ever created.

#180: Miami at ACC Media Days - It'll Melt Eventually Jul 25, 2025

We open the show with the slew of celebrity deaths that landed on us this week, but none harder than the passing of Hulk Hogan, who was a global icon on one of the biggest levels. Of course everyone was bummed about Ozzy's passing, and the tragedy around Malcom Jamal Warner, as our childhood quickly died off this week.

But we pivot to Miami at ACC Media Days, with great audio from Mark Richt sitting down with Carson, and Carson's comments about why he chose to leave UGA for Miami and how that revolves around the offensive talent. Mesidor also has some high praise for new DC Corey Hetherman who is letting them "play free and play fast." Francis Mauigoa had more great things to say about the "wall of Mirabal" and how hard the offensive line works.

Plus we get an epic report from our old friend IP Daley from ACC Media Days, as he takes down the ACC media and of course the Florida State Seminoles. And one of the more interesting rankings this week came from the Athletic who ranked the Power 4 conference schools by their value, based on revenue and over worth, and Miami came in at #24... but some of these other schools on the list cleared a cool billion.

Stories of the week include the guy who got arrested for credit card fraud at a Chuck E Cheese, while dressed AS Chuck E Cheese! We have to play some of the hilarious audio from South Park's season premier with Donald Trump and Satan, Scoop sounds off on Phil Mickelson's bad take about Scottie Scheffler (and the worst takes we've ever had on the show), and the Browns video guy who fell in the lake during their new helmet reveal.

And Roman's Five Questions this week include what we'd do with a magic potion, things that make us roll our eyes every time we hear them, the difference between confidence and arrogance, our wrestling name and finishing moves, and what animal we'd bite the head off of.

#179: Miami ACC Kickoff Preview - Bill and Dan in the Mailroom Jul 18, 2025

It's stories from Roman's cruise, and how Seal's "Kiss From a Rose" got stuck in Toast's head, as we get into this week's show - where everyone is finally back! And crazy enough we are only six weeks away from our first game against Notre Dame, which means Student of the Game is also just around the corner. The common denominator when evaluating Miami in 2025 seems to be consistently coming back to Carson Beck's status and what to expect from him as he starts his Miami career.

We are also a week out from ACC Media Days in Charlotte and Toast wants to know what position groups the guys are most looking forward to seeing in camp. And Roman asks if we're more concerned about the receivers room or the cornerbacks room. Plus Miami locked up another good receiver through NIL which fired up the haters on spending money again, even though Texas has always been outspending everyone for years. And no one is buying the rumors that Nick Saban is returning to coaching, but if he did it would be hilarious if he went to Cleveland and brough Belichick in to be his DC.

That leads us into some of the amazing audio from Shane Gillis who roasted all of the professional sports world as the host of the ESPYs this year. And Toast thought the coolest thing he saw this week was the Braves tribute to Hank Aaron during the All Star Game, which was an amazing 3D projection right onto the field at Truist Park. And one of the craziest stories of the week surrounds Teddy Bridgewater's suspension from Miami Northwestern for helping his players with meals and transportation, which sparks a large debate about the FHSAA rules and how they are flexing on a public school versus a private school.

There's also a wild wheel of audio this week - which starts with the biggest viral story of the week as Coldplay caught a cheating CEO on the kiss cam with his HR director, and everyone has some crazy mixed opinions about how this went down. This somehow spins into a debate about whether the Goo Goo Dolls are better than Coldplay, and the worst (and best) bands we've ever seen live... just another one of our random tangents.

Roman's Five Questions returns, which this week includes things that makes music special, who would take more time off work if both men and women could get pregnant, where you would go if you could travel back in time a year, where you would go with a one-way ticket back in time, who we would haunt if we were ghosts, and what our kryptonite is in life.

#178: Miam's EA Player Rankings - Wisconsin's Suing Over Our 6th Best Corner Jul 10, 2025

How we start the show with a conversation about "scrotox" is beyond any of us but sure enough that's where things begin this week. But we quickly get down to Greentree and Toast jumps right into the EA College Football 26 rankings for the key players across the roster. And as we really look at the numbers, it's amazing how far off-base some of the EA evaluations are, especially on offense. Plus everyone has a good laugh at the rating of the secondary, especially since Wisconsin is suing Miami over Xavier Lucas who rated out as our sixth best cornerback according to EA.

We also dive into ESPN's ACC rankings, because we are floored that FSU came in at #5 on their preseason list. And we have to take a look at Joel Klatt's list of the teams most likely to make their first College Football Playoff, and how the defense is going to make all the difference on whether Miami gets there or not. Scoop also discusses his theory that Shannon Dawson's best season last year had nothing to do with him, it was all on Cam Ward, which brings us some discomfort about what he'll roll out this season.

The Canes got another big flip, as Mario flipped 4-Star CB Brody Jennings from Michigan... but for some Canes fans that isn't enough. The concern remains that hometown kids from South Florida are committing to other schools and Miami continues to miss out on these big local prospects. Congratulations also goes out to Jai Lucas for putting together a potential Top 20 Basketball class and completely rebuilding the roster.

And with Roman out, Jenners takes to the Wheel of Topics to bring together a round of Five Questions with the topics of the week. That includes Deion Sanders and Bill Belichick being given fake generic names in EA College Football 26, and what fake names we've used or loved in the past. The Kentucky Punter that got a ZERO toughness rating in the game leads us to a question about where we post zero's in our own lives. We also bring in the best audio of the week of an enormous golf fight that went viral this week, followed up with a question about the biggest fight we ever got into. The Florida man who stole a Conch train in Key West leads us to the last thing we stole. And after Scoop's nightmare day, things we do to calm down on terrible days.

#177: Miami's Early Rankings - It's What's For Dinner Jul 03, 2025

We kick off the show with Scoop's new Bange hat - even though he hates where the font is located on the hat and immediately bails on it at the start of the show. And as we get down to Greentree, we jump into Athlon's rankings with Miami at #10, and Texas (with a hype man of Paul Finebaum) coming in at #1.

Scoop is also still concerned about the wide receivers and hopes that the tight ends step up to the challenge and Lofton elevates to a Restrepo-esq level for this offense. Plus Scoop actually did some show prep and found out a little more about Carson Beck's game while he was at Georgia and what he needs to see from him at Miami. Beck was also one of three Canes to come in with an EA College Football 26 ranking over 90, along with Mauigoa and Bain, and what that really means (if anything) to kids who look at Miami these days.

The Wheel of Topics this week covers the Florida Panthers re-signing most of their roster (and some hilarious Marchand audio from the parade last week), the final New Orleans inmate that's still on the run, and the case of the NY firefighter who got suspended for letting "hot girls" ride on the firetruck.

And Roman's Five Questions include a song we could hear again for the first time, timeless songs, things people aren't ready to hear, what we would do to help our friends get their memories back, something you shouldn't try that people say you wouldn't know unless you try, and the foods you'd have in your food fight arsenal. Scoop's bonus question is something you love and hate at the same time.

#176: Big Miami Expectations - Parlez-vous Chicken Fingers Jun 20, 2025

We are all finally back from vacations and the crew is back together for the first time in a month! Scoop immediately has stories to share from his trip to Paris, including how kind the French were in comparison to the people in South Florida. He also offers up his opinion that French cuisine, while it is held in such high regard, is actually really awful.

As we get down to Greentree, Scoop catches up with some of the topics of the previous weeks, including potential All-Americans and ceiling-floor guys in the running back room. Plus Scoop wants to know how we would feel if this Canes offense this season looked like Michigan from two years ago, and it draws a very mixed reaction.

Everyone also wants to spend some time celebrating the Panthers winning their second consecutive Stanley Cup and the amazing audio of Barcov knocking on his neighbor. And the Wheel of Topics takes us from Dereon Coleman's statement about having Cam Ward potential, Giants QBs Tommy Devito and Jaxson Dart's aspirations to go on "Love Island" and a serial farting dart player.

And Roman's Five Questions returns, including who's the best villain, the stupidest thing we've seen someone pay for, something that instantly brings us back to our childhood, the best thing we've ever tasted, and our Star Wars themed bars.

#175: Miami NIL and the NCAA Settlement - The Poo Fighters Jun 12, 2025

Roman is back! But Scoop is gone this week... so it seems like the show is never going to be back together until Fall! And Roman shares a story about his father informing him while in Italy that they have a famous relative who turned out to be a high level mafia boss. And as we get down to Greentree, we have to apologize for not mentioning the baseball super-regionals once last week, after they turned around a bad start to make a bit of a run.

Then we turn the corner to the biggest story of the week, the NCAA settlement about how players can and will get paid, and how it will affect the Miami Hurricanes. Roman rolls out the suggestion of taking the allocated $20.5 million and allocate it to every sport except for football, because football can raise that kind of money on their own. And as college football continues to evolve we wonder if we'll still enjoy College Football in 10 years like we did in our youth.

David Lake wrote a great piece for 247 this week about Miami's "floor and ceiling" players by position, and Ro agrees with the assertion that Jordan Lyle is the ceiling for the running back room, spinning us into a conversation about potential All-Americans this season. Toast is also feeling like Mario might pull a Top 3 class this year, we share a fond farewell to Aaron Feld who is stepping away from the game for the right reasons, and Roman shares that his daughter has been invited to a very high profile women's volleyball camp at Miami!

The Wheel of Topics this week starts with the 9-year-old Panthers fan who went super viral for loving the fights in Game 3, plus Lee Corso's final ride with the College GameDay headgear in Week 1 of the college football season, why the Steelers would ever sign Aaron Rodgers, and Joey Chestnut's hopeful return to the July 4th hot dog eating contest.

And Roman returns for his first round of Five Questions in a few weeks, which this week includes the worst candies we've ever eaten, things that traumatize us, cartoons from our childhood we'd still watch today, jobs that won't be around in 50 years, inanimate objects we would have conversations and changing a band's name with one letter.

#174: Miami Power Index Ranking with Andrew Novak - Everyone Bring a Dish Jun 06, 2025

We are joined this week by PGA winning golfer Andrew Novak who lodged his first PGA win and is gearing up for the US Open next weekend in Pennsylvania! He is filling in for Ro this week and immediately jumped into his 2nd place finish at the Heritage (and what happened on the putt that lost him the playoff with Justin Thomas) and a bit about his new podcast, Screenplay, which is all NFL.

ESPN's Power Index opened with Miami at #9, and a 30% chance to win the ACC - and while Toast feels it's a low number, Scoop thinks it's really high because Miami has never done it. That spins us into a conversation about how much we'll see the offense change this season compared to last year. And everyone has concerns about the wide receiver room except for Novak, and Scoop is buying in on Beck being "all football" this year.

Novak also talks about the reality that he'll be playing in the Open Championship in Ireland this year, and what it will take for him to make the Masters in 2026. Plus we round it out with Five Questions with Andrew Novak, including who we would turn to for help, the best celebration in sports, stuff we drag our wives to, whether it's harder to get an MLB hit or score an NHL goal, and what people should be fined for in society.

#173: ACC Coaches Taking Shots at Miami - Get a Swab Up There May 30, 2025

Roman is off the show this week so of course we are all over the road - from Toast trying Raising Canes for the first time, the Whataburger craze and just how much you can do with a chicken tender. Plus some props out of the gate to the Florida Panthers who are returning to the Stanley Cup Finals for the third straight year!

As we get down to Greentree, we start with Athlon Sports citing "anonymous" ACC coaches taking shots at the Miami Hurricanes, who seem to wrap their jealousy of Miami's NIL and recruiting success in comparison to the Yankees and Dodgers. And of course there are more proposed changes to the College Football Playoff which continues to frustrate college football fans across the country. Plus Mario continues to throw praise at Hetherman for his performance thus far on the defensive side of the ball, as we all agree that he's the difference maker for Miami to make the Playoffs.

A quick jaunt through the Wheel of Topics covers the Tush Push ban getting shot down, Tyreek Hill saying Travis Hunter is "gonna be ass", an update on the New Orleans escaped prisoners and the woman who suffered a 7-year sinus infection from a stray fart.

And Jenners runs his own style of Five Questions, all tied to events and stories that happened this week. We cover the worst fight you've ever been in with your wife (after French President Macron got slapped by his wife on TV this week), what food you could competitively eat (after Joey Chesnut broke his own popcorn-eating record), things we need to get rid of (after the US announced they'd stop minting the penny), what team is the hardest to root for (now that Scottie Scheffler has more wins in the last three years than the Carolina Panthers) and finally your favorite and most iconic sports photo (as the Ali-Liston photo turned 60 this week.)

#172: Miami NIL Haters - You're Not As Smart As Your Dad May 22, 2025

We open with congratulations to American Heritage for winning the 4A state baseball title this week. Everyone also loves the new Orange Bowl Babies that debuted on social media this week, even though they got Scoop in trouble with his wife.

As we get down to Greentree, everyone has thoughts about David Pollack saying he wouldn't spend $2 million on an Offensive Lineman, which Roman feels is a "homer" take because Georgia missed out on Jackson Cantwell. That spins us down the rabbit hole of how to get the most out of an NIL deal and how you can prevent these guys from taking the money and moving on after a year. Plus more talk about how Mario has developed the recruitment game in the NIL era and why he has excelled at bringing in top Offensive lineman and, in turn, top quarterback transfers.

A user on X also asked ChatGTP to predict the 2025 Miami Hurricanes, and while all the outcomes are all positives the possibilities are borderline ridiculous... and all of us would 100% take that season. And an interesting quote from Manny Diaz (having nothing to do with Miami) about how kids today aren't as invested in your school's history as the fans are. Of course we also come around to the NHL Playoffs as we dance on the graves of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

This week's Wheel of Topics starts with the wild New Orleans prison break story, the Department of Homeland Security's proposal for a game show where immigrants can compete to fast track their citizenship, and the DoorDash driver who got so lost he ended up on the tarmac of O'Hare Airport in Chicago. And as always we close out with a round of Five Questions, which this week includes the worst thing we've ever been told by a teacher, a song that takes us back in time to a good moment in our lives, the most recognizable brand name, the worst cities we've ever visited, and a word or phrase we find cringy.

And we get a surprise visit from Toast's nephew Dylan Dubovik, part of the American Heritage state championship team and a young man who's committed to the U!!

#171: Jackson Cantwell Commits to Miami - You Can Get a Pencil Under There May 16, 2025

Everyone opens with good energy as Miami lands the #1 prospect in the country, Jackson Cantwell... even though his overall rating continues to drop now that he's a Cane. And while no one is surprised that outlets like 247 continue to drop him in the rankings, it's maddening that the narrative around Miami is so different than other schools. Toast, however, is unapologetic for being "the Yankees" of college football. Plus everyone is happy that Carson Beck is throwing and appears to be on a solid road back, as we were all a bit afraid of a setback putting his return behind schedule.

Of course we have to address the story that Mario Crisobal never spoke with Mel Kiper before the draft, after Maio said he heard from everyone but Mel, and ultimately we're not surprised because Kiper has just become a talking head mainstay and not an actual reporter. And after Ro retweeted the list with the lack of Miami accomplishments over the last 11 years, Scoop wants to know if we think it will be easier to win the ACC or the National Championship for Miami.

The wheel of topics covers Bill Belichick and the very real possibility that he'll never coach a game at UNC, the new gravy-flavored KFC ice cream, and the pro golfer who has convinced himself he can train himself to dunk a basketball. And of course we close it out with a round of Five Questions, which this week includes a car where we know the driver is an asshat, things women do that are a turnoff, the most likely cause of a human extinction, where your happy place is, and how your genetics did you dirty.

#170: Miami's Two-Deep Predictions - I Can See You Getting Fatter May 09, 2025

Right out of the gate, we're on to the new Pop Tart ice cream sandwiches that are hitting store shelves, and we'll let you guess who the one guy is that's not into it. That also spins us into a debate about the make-up of "ice cream" Drumsticks that don't melt, and how AI is on the brink of translating what our pets think.

When we get down to Greentree, we actually start with Miami Baseball who has been on a wild turnaround after a really slow start to the season. And after yet another weird off-ramp, we get into the projected two-deep depth chart and immediately debate whether Emory is the guy you want at QB2, regardless of his experience. Plus debates about the depth of the running backs, how the receiving core will stack up, and Scoop's fear that the deeper the roster goes the more we look like a seven win team. Even though everybody is impressed by the look of the rebuilt secondary.

We also take a look at some of the portal kickers we brought in this year after the realization that we've been spoiled with the Borregales brothers over the last several years. And everyone tries to figure out how - other than NIL money - Miami can lure in top recruits like Jackson Cantwell. And as we work through the Wheel of Topics we cover the new American Pope, Paul Pierce walking to work after betting on the Celtics, and amazing audio of a woman getting arrested with a raccoon who was smoking meth.

And we round it out with another round of Five Questions, which this week include our Pope names, where we'd love to be a fly on the wall, something we can't believe hasn't been invented yet, our pets annoying habits and places we've been that don't exist anymore.

#169: Miami Represents in NFL Draft - Tap That Rotisserie Chicken May 01, 2025

Scoop is still recovering from a trip to Arizona which has his clock off by three hours, as we start a sexy episode 169. We quickly get down to Greentree where we dive into the lack of coverage around Cam Ward going #1 overall, and how jilted the ESPN coverage was toward Shedeur Sanders not getting drafted. Everyone on the show is fired up about how bad the coverage was, calling ESPN an embarrassment for the way it was handled!

Xavier Restrepo also gets some props for signing with the Titans after going undrafted, and how that may be a great safety blanket for Cam Ward as he adjusts to the speed of the NFL. Toast is also thrilled that both Arroyo and Martinez went to his Seahawks, and how the Dolphins are going to have to deal with Boregalas kicking field goals on them for years as he goes to the Patriots. Everyone is impressed with Mario's guys representing as well as they did in the Draft.

Plus we take a look at recruiting and the transfer portal as more slot receivers are being added to the room, which Scoop continues to find hilarious, as we need more outside guys on the offense. And the battle continues for the top portal guys as we wait to see if Miami will remain a contender with some of these top guys. We pivot to the NFL as Jordan Travis announced his retirement due to a leg injury, cutting his career wildly short, which we hate for the kid even though he's a Seminole. And while we're on FSU we try to figure out what will happen if Castellanos doesn't work out at quarterback.

The Wheel of Topics starts with the wild story about Falcons DC Jeff Ulbrich's son, Jax, having been revealed as the one behind the Shedeur Sanders Draft night prank call, and as parents we try to figure out how his dad disciplines him after a $100K fine. Plus how badly Bill Belichick's young girlfriend Jordon is really causing him drama after their trainwreck interview on CBS, Baylen Dupree returns as she tries to explain Tourette's Syndrome on TikTok, and the debate of the week about whether 100 men could defeat one gorilla.

Plus another wild round of Five Questions, including the day you finally felt like an adult, the male equivalent of being called a "btich", how we'd split lottery winnings with someone who bought us a ticket, the song that instantly puts us in a good mood, and our cheat codes for marriage.

#168: Miami Transfer Portal Updates - Steve Irwin Boulevard Apr 24, 2025

We open with props to the UM Basketball team's recruiting, which has been ramped up in the last few weeks... and that somehow spins us into a conversation about forgotten department stores and our favorite spots in the mall. But we quickly get down to Greentree, as Mario also offers an update on Carson Beck's progress, which looks like it is ahead of schedule for his return. And we debate whether Beck will have the ROI that Mario will need to ensure he's not billed as "lucky" on his transfer quarterbacks.

Everyone also takes a moment to lament about the dysfunctional Spring portal window and how bad it is, especially as Arkansas now has plans to sue Madden Iamaleava, and how college players will need to start signing contracts to keep this from happening. Plus Curt Cignetti was throwing Miami's name around this week for a reason we really don't mind, and how Lane Kiffin's shot at Carson Beck's NIL deal was based entirely on rumors. Toast also brings the Miami Hurricanes Mount Rushmore to the show as the trend is making the rounds on social media.

Plus we are loaded up with a WILD Wheel of Topics this week, which starts with the falling stock of Shedeur Sanders on the eve of the NFL Draft. We also have a huge laugh at the double-speaking Australian twins who went super viral this week, and wonder if Paul Heyman will be banned from ESPN after his wild appearance on McAfee's show. And the audio of the week from Shaquille O'Neal who clearly destroyed a toilet after running off the set of Inside the NBA on TNT.

And it wouldn't be a show without a round of Five Questions - which this week include what celebrity we'd switch places with, the most petty reason we stopped talking to someone, where we would teleport and what animal parts we'd add to our bodies.

#167: UM Spring Game Winners & Losers - Boobie Feaster on a Glizzy See-Saw Apr 17, 2025

We open the show right away with the biggest college football story of the week, Nico Iamaleava parting ways with Tennessee over his NIL demands, which really makes us all re-examine how dangerous the portal has become to college football. And Toast lays the blame for this mess at the feet of former NCAA President Mark Emirate for failing to fix the issues that have loomed since his reign.

From there we quickly pivot into the Miami Hurricanes Spring Game as we break down our winners and losers from the day, and how Scoop feels like we already have too many slot receivers. It ranges from Ny Carr hitting the transfer portal, to the possible addition of Trebor Pena from Syracuse, and how that room already seems to be mis-managed by the coaching staff. And as we lose guys in the secondary, which Toast and Roman feel will happen, Scoop finds himself a little more surprised.

ESPN also made the Nico story, somehow, about Mario Cristibal as both Ryan Clark and Mike Greenberg sounded off on how Mario handled Carson Beck and his Oregon contract which the guys point out makes NO sense. Cam Ward also inked a deal with Under Armour ahead of the NFL Draft, and looks like he might have accidentally revealed on a Fortnite stream that his deal to go #1 to the Titans is done.

We also have a LOADED Wheel of Audio this week... which starts with Colorado deciding to retire the numbers of Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders which is met with a lot of kickback from not only the OBB's but Denver local news. Scoop really enjoys reliving the Rory win at The Masters, and everyone has a laugh at the amatuer who peed in Rae's Creek at Augusta National. Plus some amazing audio from Mad Dog Chris Russo's interview with golf legend Gary Player, and Braves reporter Wiley Ballard getting a girl's number live on the air in the middle of a game... which, despite the faux outrage, sparks a conversation about how everyone got their wives numbers when they first met.

And of course we close it out with a round of Five Questions - which include fictional characters we'd like to be friends with, what mysteries we'd like to have the answers to, places we've never been but feel nostalgic about, extinct animals we'd like to have brought back to life, and things that should be universally free for everyone.

#166: Miami Spring Game Preview - Famous Annus Cookies Apr 10, 2025

As always, we open with another left turn topic as we revisit the Nutella debate, and Jenners tries his first ever Nutella sandwich live on the show... and it's not that bad. But he isn't as all-in on it as Toast and Roman are, which spins us into a whole tangent about pancake etiquette. And it's Spring game weekend, and dive into the quarterbacks as we're looking to see who shines with Carson Beck still on the sideline. While Roman is focused on the defense, which spins into a debate about the new scheme's "simplicity", Scoop seems less than optimistic that Luke Nickel could emerge as QB2. Toast thinks that the defense is going to feast on the offense if only to make a big statement.

We also get into the wide receivers, simply because everyone wants to know who will fill Restrepo's shoes both on the field and in the locker room. Plus Mario flipped another defensive stud from Georgia, and we discuss the expectations of Rueben Bain after he was named #4 on PFF's list of returning edge defenders. Credit also goes out, as best as a bunch of Canes can muster, to the Florida Gators who won the National Title this week.

This week's Wheel of Topics starts with Alex Ovechkin breaking Gretzky's all-time NHL scoring record, which spins into a conversation about sports records that will never be broken. And we get a highlight in the ongoing feud between Charles Barkley and the women of San Antonio, we highlight another classic small-town baseball brawl and the wild story about the high school baseball player who peed in an opposing team's water cooler.

And it wouldn't be a show without a round of Five Questions - which this week include worst food we've eaten that we'd feed to an enemy, unconventional weapons to defend ourselves, what sound we'd replace car horns with, unexpected vending machine items and what rules we'd make as kings of our own islands.

#165: Carson Beck Expectations - White Bread and Nutella Apr 03, 2025

We open the show this week with more talk about the Miami Baseball team and try to figure out the last time Miami was .500 this far into the season. And Toast pivots us quickly to a strange question - is it okay to shower naked while also bathing your pet? After a few wild laughs we quickly pivot to Canes spring practice, especially the emergence of CJ Daniels as the leader of the wide receiver room. Roman also has some praise for the strength of Carson Beck's arm, as he's hopeful that the right WRs will help him excel, while Toast praises him for coming in after Cam Ward with a lot to prove.

Everyone runs down some of the things that Mario still needs to accomplish in his tenure, including winning (or at least playing for) an ACC Championship. And there is a lot of discussion about how Miami's Pro Day was dominated by offensive players, and the tweet that Scoop threw out that set the fan base on fire.

The Wheel of Topics this week starts off with discussion of Torpedo bats, which is all the rage so far this season in MLB, as everyone falls in on different sides of the argument. Plus we lost Val Kilmer this week and all the guys weigh in on their favorite Kilmer roles and moments in movies. We also jump into the crazy changes to the NFL rules, including teams trying to ban the tush push simply because it's become too successful. Plus the downfall of the Oakland A's is hysterical, as is Shaq not knowing where Nikola Jokic is from.

And it wouldn't be a show without a round of Five Questions - which this week include signs of a serial killer, things we probably shouldn't judge, things our pets would roast us for if they could talk, what the weird kid at our schools did to earn his reputation, and what part of the guy code we don't like.

#164: Xavier Restrepo & Canes in the NFL Draft - There Was One Named Curious Mar 28, 2025

Right out of the gate everyone jumps on the Miami baseball team for their "lackluster" performance as of late, especially after getting run-ruled by Florida State and a horrendous showing against Stetson. We also spin into MLB Opening Day before getting down to Greentree, which offroads into how long the MLB season should be, as 162 games is just too many. Everyone is also hyped to have Xavier Restrepo join the show as we look back at what he was able to accomplish as a Miami Hurricane, and we try to figure out where he'll get drafted.

We are also joined by Miami's all-time leading receiver, now headed into the NFL Draft, wide receiver Xavier Restrepo! We talk to X about how he looks at his accomplishments at Miami, how his legacy will live on in Coral Gables, and he talks about how dangerous it would be for him and Cam Ward to get drafted by the same team. X also has a lot of love for Cam and talks about how he thinks he and Cam will adjust to NFL systems after playing under Shannon Dawson's offense. And with a lot of wide receiver talent leaving Miami, X breaks down how the offense was built for guys to be able to replace the players going out.

Plus we ask him about who he'd like to score on in the NFL, his bucket list golf courses, and his best (and most meaningful) catches while playing at the U. He gets a little blind sided when Toast asks him if he ever got an NIL offer to leave Miami, and he talks about the story that's circulating about his "slow" 40 time at Miami Pro Day.

We also take a look at the ESPN SP+ rankings - which somehow have the Canes as the #1 offense in the country, but the defense at #49. That spins us into a conversation about the growth of the roster, what transfers and commits moved around this year, and a look at the rankings of all the Canes opponents this season.

The Wheel of Topics gets heated when Toast has to defend his boy Danny Hurley as the UConn head coach got caught on a hot mic complaining about the officiating after their loss to Florida in the NCAA Tournament. While Scoop has a great distaste for Hurley, Toast argues that Miami would fire Jai Clark in a heartbeat to have him coach the Canes. And everyone reflects on the life of George Foreman, talks about the mystery woman behind Rick Pitino who was offered a porn deal, and whether LeBron James is as big of a baby as Danny Hurley after his back-and-forth with Stephen A Smith.

And we round it out with another hilarious round of Five Questions, including who we would shapeshift into, the worst punishment we ever got from our parents, what celebrity sold their soul to the devil, how we would notify our loved ones if we were kidnapped, and the worst response to the question "do I look fat?"

#163: Adam Rank & Beck vs Cavinder - Camel Toe Munching Caterpillars Mar 20, 2025

We open with the case of Beck vs Cavinder, as relationship drama has seized Miami spring camp. Scoop immediately puts Carson on Heisman watch now that he has no distractions which spins into a hilarious comparison of Carson's life as of late to a country song. And do the Canes need another receiver with Ray Ray and Jo Jo showing out this spring? Maybe these new tight ends can fill some of that space as the Canes have a pretty great looking tight end room so far.

We are joined by NFL.com's Adam Rank, who turns the table on us immediately by picking our brains about Cam Ward's game compared to some of the best quarterbacks over the last few years. And as a die hard Bears fan, we don't know how well our criticism of Caleb Wililams was received. Adam lays out why he's gotten bigger on Cam Ward, side tracks into a discussion about Cannonball Run, and his take on the big receivers on the board as we close in on the NFL Draft.

And of course we off-road into wrestling as John Cena's name comes up, and Adam loves to talk about how great some guys are as a heel. Steering it back to football, Adam also breaks down where he feels like Cam is a more complete quarterback than Shadeur Sanders.

We also roll out a wild wheel of topics, which go through Tracey Morgan puking his guts out courtside at a Knicks game, hilarious audio of a baseball fight that the play-by-play announcer just doesn't seem to care about, and a shocking take on Scottie Scheffler's Masters menu. And it wouldn't be a show without a round of Five Questions - which include basic skills that most people struggle with, professions we'd never date, our weirdest habits, and what anxiety smells like.

#162: Shawne Merriman & Miami's Best Spring Players - Tomato Cans Mar 13, 2025

It's Spring practice in Miami and the guys are excited to talk football with Shawne Merriman! And as Spring ball rolls on we are starting to turn up the hype level on the 2025 Canes as guys like Hayden Lowe start to show out and impress the coaching staff. Plus everyone seems to be big on the defensive additions including Xavier Lucas, who Wisconsin continues to whine about losing which tells Ro he's the real deal. The Canes came in at #2 on USA Today's spring rankings, which doesn't mean much in the Spring, especially with FSU all the way up to #8 somehow.

Then we are joined by NFL legend Shawne Merriman, who immediately gets into the origins of his iconic "Lights Out" nickname, and how he knocked out four kids in a game in high school. He also jokes about how he started the Lights Out dance while at Maryland and coach Ralph Friedgen shut it down, and it didn't surface again until the NFL. Shawne also shares some iconic stories about almost decommitting from Maryland to go to Miami, how Ralph Friedgen once played quarterback and how much the rules of pro football have changed since he last played. And how Shawne went from the NFL into MMA is an iconic story about Jay Glaze and Randy Couture, and when he knew he could grow it into a cool new network.

Shawne also gets into the depths of his fandom for MMA and UFC, and how his Lights Out Xtreme Fighting has become a feeder for pro fighting. He also jokes with the guys about WWE, including his all time favorite wrestlers, and how he's had the opportunity to be in the ring and meet some of the legends. And there is no way we part with Shawne before talking to him about his biggest defensive plays in the NFL and what his NIL number would be if he played today.

And we close out with another round of Five Questions - including would your kids be off limits to the media if they were professional ball players (spurring a huge debate about Bronny James and his voyage to the NBA), the ingredients on your ultimate sandwich, a single line from a comedy film everyone knows, the ugliest car ever made, and where we feel completely at home.

#161: Miami Spring Practice - Feed Me and Call Me Coach Mar 06, 2025

Scoop started a bit in the group chat this week regarding a current picture of a former rocker, that turned out to be Wes Borland from Limp Bizkit... and he's getting the full backstory about the band on the "Disrespectfully" podcast, which is a wild story. And as we get down to Greentree we get into the settlement of the FSU and Clemson lawsuit against the ACC, with payouts coming to teams with great seasons - and Miami is really the big winner here!

We also start jumping into Spring practice and marvel at the fact that guys we covered only a few years ago are already seniors, and just how fast those years go by. And a huge salute to Jimmy Johnson, who retired this week after a 31 year career at Fox and over 34 years as a coach, a true UM legend! Plus a look around the defensive side of the ball has us slightly optimistic as we start to get a pulse from the practice fields. Recruiting has also been going strong, which has always been Mario's strong suit, as we start to see where some of the newest recruits will fall into the program.

The Tennessee Titans have set up their meeting with Cam Ward - which for some reason, Toast does not like - as it looks like he may end up there after all. And the Wheel of Topics takes us from Mike Tomlin's coaching tenure, the John Cena heel turn and what that means for the resurgence of the WWE, everyone has some hot takes on the Travis Hunter vs Shohei Ohtani debate, and our most underrated bands.

Plus we close the show, as always, with a wild round of Five Questions - including two people who would light it up at a press conference, what we'd get as our next tattoos, the sign we'd hold up at the State of the Union, our last "we need to get out of here" moments, the job where you need a high level of tolerance for being yelled at, and your feel-good "don't care about calories" meal.

#160: Miami Spring Football & Running Backs Hype - Play Peek-A-Boo with Her Feb 27, 2025

Toast opens this week's show by sharing a story about how his wife was attacked by a wild animal during her morning Yoga... as she had an encounter with a puss caterpillar. We didn't realize that they were extremely poisonous but Toast learned when his wife almost ended up in the emergency room.

We go down to Greentree and start with the news that Miami's new head basketball coach will be Duke assistant Jai Lucas, with the news breaking before the school was likely ready to announce it. He is a great recruiter (while wearing the Kentucky and Duke logo) and Miami should be able to bounce back with some talent in the coming seasons, if the gamble pays off. And could a former Duke coach flip the Boozer twins from Duke?

Plus we do our best CSI investigation into the Carson Beck stolen vehicles (even though they were found a day later) as we talk about how scary it is to have someone in your home when you're sleeping. And Spring Football is HERE starting Monday and we can't believe how fast it came up. Scoop is hyped for the explosive running back tandem of Mark Fletcher and Jordan Lyle, with very high praise for both guys, and just how deep they are in that position group. Even though Carson Beck still isn't throwing, we will likely have eyes on Luke Nickel to see if he can elevate to the back-up position over Emory and Judd.

It's NFL Combine week and we try to figure out if Tennessee is going to go ahead and draft Cam Ward at #1 or they will pass him down to the Browns at #2. That spins us into a debate about who had the worse contract - Deshaun Watson or Daniel Jones. And we have no idea how we ended up debating Bill Clinton's body count, yet here we are.

A WILD wheel of topics includes the Mary Kate Cornett story that has taken over social media, the couple who was forced to sit next to a dead woman for four hours on a Qatar Airways flight, and how ugly the world's first flying car looks. Plus we close it out as always with a round of

Five Questions, which includes the best martial arts movie ever made, something we see lots of people do that we'd never do, our most shallow dating requirements, what we'd do with an extra hour a day and the best rock song to play during a protest.

#159: Roy Firestone & Miami Steals Will Harris - An Anomaly Showed Up Feb 20, 2025

It's a random wrestling conversation to start the show this week, as we talk about Miami's new coaching additions. We end up in a debate about our favorite wrestlers and who made the biggest impact on the shows in the last 20 years.

We are joined by a UM alum and media legend Roy Firestone and immediately joke about how much we are dating ourselves by remembering the highlights of Roy's hay day on ESPN! As a former Cane, Roy immediately starts reminiscing about the days of the Orange Bowl in Miami and how he wishes they would have kept the stadium, even sharing his favorite game of all time at the Bowl. As a legendary interviewer we joke with Roy about his favorite first questions and he shares some amazing moments with Shaquille O'Neal who he has amazing stories with from over the years. Roy talks about getting his start in Miami television and crossing paths with Chris Myers who was on the show a few weeks ago!

And of course Roy shares some of his favorite interviews including Wilt Chamberlain, Charles Barkley, Shannon Sharpe, Mike Tyson, Barry Bonds and so many more! Plus the baseball conversation turns to Shohai Ohtani and whether or not he's the best player to ever play. Roy is also intently dialed in to the Canes, as he was there for the Syracuse loss this year, and has some pretty high praise for Cam Ward as we close in on the NFL Draft. Plus we start a conversation about the biggest sports upsets, and where the Tyson-Douglas fight ranks on that list.

As we head down to Greentree, we talk about how Mario stuffed Billy Napier in a locker and stole Will Harris as his new DB coach. Plus Miami's kicker posting videos of him nailing 75-yard field goals will likely come back to bite him (and possibly us). And we close out the show as always with a fun round of Five Questions - which include the weirdest thing we've seen at an airport, the most inappropriate thing we overheard at work, the perks of being ugly, and the next thing AI will take over and improve.

#158: Robert Horry & Miami's Top Recruiting - Chewy Tapioca Balls Feb 13, 2025

Like always we open the show on a curve ball as we learn that Scoop does the show in pajama pants that he does not sleep in and wears for like an hour before bed. But we quickly jerk the wheel to Greentree as we take a look at Miami's newest coaching addition, Damione Lewis, who will line up next to Jason Taylor to help with the defensive line. Plus Miami's coaching staff lands high marks for recruiting this off season, but everyone wants to see these recruits develop so we don't have to rely so heavily on the portal.

We also celebrate 2-10 day in honor of Florida State's horrendous season, which leads us into terrible sports moments like Atlanta blowing a 28-3 lead that sticks around for a long time. And we get a classic story from Scoop about a real estate friend who had a WILD dating experience, and Toast shares a crazy road rage story from 595 in Fort Lauderdale. Plus Matt Patricia goes to Ohio State, Chip Kelly moves back to the NFL and Toast breaks down Pete Carroll going to the Raiders. We also weigh in on the way-too-early Miami predictions made by Canes Warning, including Carson Beck's return to excellence, Xavier Lucas making an impact and Miami making the ACC Championship Game.

This week's guest drops in and it's 7-time NBA Champion ROBERT HORRY who joins the show live from the Spectrum LA studios as he calls the Lakers-Jazz game. Rob talks about his iconic big shots, how he was anointed his nickname "Big Shot Bob" and the kind of relationship he had with Coach Greg Popovich during his Spurs years. We also get Rob's thoughts on the new-look Lakers, the differences between Pop and Phil Jackson, and Toast has to bring up Rob's loss in the Sweet Sixteen to Loyola in 1990. And as a college football podcast we of course have to get Rob's thoughts on DeBoer as an Alabama alum.

Rob also sticks around for Five Questions - which includes how we'd defeat a carbon copy of ourselves, the word we can never spell correctly, what sitcom we could fit into, the best monster in fiction, and the best lesson we learned from a teacher. We even get a surprise drop in from James Worthy!!

#157: Comedian Ben Palmer & Miami's Top-Rated Portal Class - A Gas Station Milkshake Feb 06, 2025

We open the show Scoop-less this week, but get right into Miami's top-rated portal class in 2025 - which was expected after we rebuilt the secondary and got the top QB in the portal for the second year in a row. And Toast and Roman react to the FanDuel line of 8.5 wins for Miami this season, as they take a look at the ACC schedule and try to figure out how Clemson and North Carolina will fare this season.

Ohio State's interest in Shannon Dawson draws a mixed reaction between the guys... as Toast believes the job will go to Brian Hartline, but Roman feels like he would have gotten the gig already and Dawson may be in play. We also debate how far OH's National Championship will carry them even if they are unable to beat Michigan.

Comedian Ben Palmer joins the show and talks about his epic trolling content - which started with his older brother who was a Canes fan all his life, even though Ben himself grew up a Cleveland Browns fan. We also pick Ben's troll brain about the best way to screw with Florida State fans and he immediately dives into his best trolling methods and it's hilarious! We also talk about how he would sue his friends to get on TV court shows, how he infiltrates neighborhood groups on Facebook and his proudest moment of pretending to be the City of Atlanta on Facebook and basically taking over the city's narrative!

Like always we close it out with Five Questions - including why we never see bicycles in the Zombie apocalypse, our thoughts on Elon Musk, things that should always be free, what's pissing us off right now and the dumbest reasons we've ever been late.

#156: Chris Myers and Miami's 2025 Schedule - Duke from North Miami Jan 30, 2025

We open our series of offseason interviews with a sports legend - Chris Myers from Fox Sports. We quickly get into Chris being friends with Bill Murray (who wrote the foreword for his new book) and Chris shares some hilarious stories from their friendship over the years. Plus Chris got his start in Miami working alongside the legendary voice of the Canes, Sonny Hirsch, and all the Miami Hurricanes guys he grew up following. The guys also learned that Chris dabbled in stand up comedy before getting into sports broadcasting, and talks about his favorite comedians. And there is some impromptu Five Questions topics that spin us off into even more fun and stories.

Check out Chris’s new book THAT DESERVES A WOW: Untold Stories of Legends and Champions, Their Wins and Heartbreaks on sale now! Get your copy HERE.

Miami's 2025 schedule dropped this week and everyone has thoughts about things we love - like 8 home games and not leaving Florida until November - along with some things we hate - like the placement of the bye weeks and how hard the final road games will be. We are also obligated to do an unofficial and way-too-early round of wins and losses. Unsurprisingly our predictions are all over the road.

Like always we close it out with Five Questions - including who we would nominate as a “Real Men of Genius” candidate, what career would you try for if not for what you're doing now, the best advice for being unbothered, a location and department for a new TV show, and the worst stuff we’ve watched recently.

#155: Miami's Way-Too-Early Top 25 Ranking - A Taylor Swift Dutch Oven Jan 23, 2025

It's whiskey talk at the top of the show as Ro celebrates Whiskey Wednesday and fills us in on the best new trends. We also talk about New York Yankee Steakhouse, our kids athletic accomplishments coming into the week and memories of Scoop and Roman's band. And as we head on down to Greentree, Toast has to take up for setting Twitter on fire with some comments about how the Miami administration failed to support Mario in the Lucas transfer controversy.

Congrats are due to Scoop's Ohio State for winning the National Championship, and how spending money in the portal can be largely beneficial if it's spent in the right place. That leads us into a debate over portal players versus developed players and how Toast wants more homegrown talent and fewer hired guns. And we won't have to face Al Golden's defense in Week 1 of 2025 as he moves on from Notre Dame.

Roman also sets the line at +3 favorable calls that lean toward the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. And the CBS way-too-early Top 25 has Miami at #3, and while Toast thinks it's insane, Roman actually likes it. Scoop also believes that Miami's defense is vastly improved and the offense, with Carson Beck, did not take as big a step back as anticipated. All that said, Ro needs to make sure these defensive backs and linebackers ultimately need to be cover guys. Plus Mario getting snubbed from the list of the Top 25 coaches going into the 2025 season is deserved according to Roman.

The audio of the week is the woman who drove the golf cart into the wall at the National Championship game. And Five Questions includes things we'll never do again, what fast food is actually the best quality, colognes we would recommend, the best advertisement line we've ever heard and the most childish things we've bought with our adult money.

Darren Heitner Discusses the Xavier Lucas Case with the Orange Bowl Boys Jan 21, 2025

One of the biggest stories in the country has been the transfer of cornerback Xavier Lucas from Wisconsin to Miami, and sports attorney Darren Heitner has been representing him in the case. Heitner, a UM adjunct professor of NIL at UM School of Law, has been frequently posting on social media in defense of his client, and he joins the Orange Bowl Boys to break down this wild case.

The Big Ten released a statement over the weekend supporting Wisconsin keeping Lucas from the transfer portal. Heitner stated that the contract between Lucas and Wisconsin is not binding because the NCAA does not allow its member schools to pay athletes directly. Wisconsin's claim of tampering was received as "absurd" according to Heitner.

We get into the big looming questions about how or if this will affect Xavier's transfer to UM, what action they plan to take against the Big Tem and Wisconsin, and how the loopholes in this case became a national story.

#154: Miami's New Defensive Coordinator - A Room Full of Jennifer Anistons Jan 16, 2025

The University of Miami has a new Defensive Coordinator... and we somehow open the show with the alleged Barack Obama affair rumors because we simply cannot believe who is involved!

We head on down to Greentree as we dive head first into Corey Hetherman as he takes the reins as the new Miami DC. And while there has been a lot of "coach speak" coming from him so far, the game film backs up his claims as Roman has now done a few Student of the Game breakdowns on Minnesota. Scoop remains a bit hesitant because of how excited everyone was for Guidry in the beginning and needs to see him simplify the approach and make it work for our guys. Toast enjoys the fact that he's a teacher at heart because he wants to see more on-field development from the defense.

Carson Beck had suitors in Georgia (who wanted him to stay) and Alabama, but he chose Miami not just for the NIL money but the talented roster that Mario has built. Scoop talks about why he's excited and what's giving him pause as Miami now has the most experienced big-game quarterback in college football. But without a Spring game, we really don't know what to expect going into the season. And everyone sounds off the new proposed transfer window which would not only make more sense but drum up tons more excitement.

The Wheel of Topics goes around from hilarious audio from the new TLC show about the social media influencer who has tourettes, and the insane story about the coyote being pulled out of the produce cooler of an Aldi in Chicago. And Five Questions covers good movie role models for men, signs that a person was a lonely child, what stocks would skyrocket if aliens landed tomorrow, things that aren't sexy that turn us on, and the biggest risks we ever took.

Carson Beck to Miami - Orange Bowl Boys Reaction Show Jan 11, 2025

Ro's been saying it for weeks - Miami needed "a dude" at quarterback. And Miami got their dude in UGA transfer Carson Beck. So the opening question is whether the guys are happy with their dude. And it seems everyone thinks this was the best move possible as Mario has somehow locked down one of the top QBs in the portal again.

Jenners offers up some insight as a UGA insider on the caliber of quarterback the Canes are getting in Carson Beck, which was a little mixed in 2024. Offensive line protection is a big part of Carson's success, and Ro feels like Miami did a much better job protecting Cam Ward than Georgia did protecting Carson. There is also some high praise for the UM collective for putting up all the money to get Carson Beck and the secondary locked down.

As Roman goes Student of the Game on Carson, the question arises about whether they go out in the Spring and lock down another guy to learn from him and develop into your next big starter. Toast also goes out and sets the bar again at 10 wins after spending this kind of money on a star quarterback. Ro also tries to break down the key differences between Carson Beck and Cam Ward as we prepare for a different style of quarterback under center.

And we address arguably the BIGGEST question on the table... will he be totally healthy when the time comes to play in Week 1?? We also try to figure out where we stand with the hiring of a new Defensive Coordinator and what that does to help lift up what Carson will be able to do on the offensive side of the ball. And we wrap it up with our thoughts on the National Championship matchup between Notre Dame and Ohio State.

#153: Miami Transfers and Secondary - Who Wants to Be Scoop's Bunny? Jan 09, 2025

It's an off season show that opens with conversation about the crazy wild fires burning out of control in California, as we have friends affected by the massive destruction. But we quickly pivot to Greentree as Toast asks the show if we can remember the last time a Miami player was heavily considered to go #1 in the NFL Draft. And we're quickly reminded that Vinny Testaverde and Russell Maryland were the last two to do it, and we debate if Cam will be associated more with Wazzu than the U in the NFL.

We also try to make sense of the Portal madness happening around college football with another year of NIL setting the tone. And with more transfers leaving the program, only to over perform at their next stop, we also try to untangle where that fall off comes from.

We have absolutely dropped some bags to rebuild the secondary and we’re all super confident it will show up on the field. While the backend of the defense has been addressed, the QB room has not. We talked about our three-deep room and there’s not a lot of confidence, especially when you realize Al Golden’s defense will be the first thing we face week 1.

And of course we close it out with Five Questions, which include the strangest places we've explored, weird rumors we've heard about ourselves, and what we would do with a Presidential pardon.
