#115: A Slightly Asian Dave Matthews Mar 28, 2024

Show notes

We open this week with talk of booze, and Dan Radakovich's comments about UM loving the ACC, which had the fan base divided this week. And with all this talk of conference realignment has the OBBs in agreement that staying in the ACC is a very smart move for Miami. And Scoop has a few offensive players from Spring practice

Plus the "Wheel of Topics" is on full tilt this week, with so many great stories to talk about - including the fact that no one on the show believes Shohei Ohtani's translator taking the fall in his gambling case, the hilarious audio of Matt Barnes vs an opossum, and the curious case of Caleb Williams after his unconventional appearance at the women's tournament. And everyone seems to be big on the new NFL kickoff rule, and Roman wants to know if the Dolphins decide to draft Penix if that would be an upgrade from Tua. We also hit on this week's wild ATV chase on I-95 in South Florida and Caitlin Clark's frustrated attitude during the tournament.

And in another round of Five Questions, we get into childhood punishments, recent scientific innovations, time traveling revelations, things we hated as children but love now, and what made us realize certain girls were not for us.

#114: Add Jalen Suggs to the Front Mar 21, 2024

Show notes

All the boys are cooked after a crazy week, and somehow Toast managed to piss off a whole new group of college basketball fans when he disputed if Caitlyn Clark was really the GOAT of women's basketball. And we take a rare trip to Greentree during the off season as we reflect on Henry Parrish leaving the U, as we now have to take a good look at the running back room.

We also throw a little love to Kam Kinchens after he showed out at Pro Day, and reflect on what Mark Richt did for UM Pro Day while he was here. And as we stare down the tournament, everyone has thoughts on the popularity of the women's game this year as compared to the men. Plus we rejoice in the glory of German-suplexing basketball-playing Russians as we discover Rugball - a combination of basketball, rugby and wrestling.

And this week's wheel of topics includes Kevin Harlan's epic call of the confetti mishap during the A-10 Championship Game, the hilariously unfortunate circumstance of Dan Monson who was fired before his team made the tournament, and the Paris Olympics lifting the intimacy ban during this year's games. Plus the hilarious jersey swap of the year between Gradey Dick and Anthony Dick, and we hang out in Scoop's golf corner

And it's another round of Five Questions - including questions that qualify friendships, our desired trade job, death row last meals, unusual pets, and the topics of our speaking engagements.

#113: Professor Snickerdoodle (She's Probably on Drugs) Mar 14, 2024

Show notes

We open the show with Scoop back in the house, and Toast has to immediately address the Twitter feud that erupted this week between him and some Canes fans over the state of the basketball program. It's another epic Toast rant and he shuts down the narrative about him being a "casual" fan. And Scoop jokes about being on vacation last week while Toast set the world on fire.

There are also major props to the UM AAU hockey team winning the DIII National Championship! Because who would have thought we'd win a hockey title before winning a football title again? And everyone has a strong opinion about Nick Saban's NIL comments on Capitol Hill, ranging from Ro's vocal disagreement to Scoop trying to see it from both sides.

The awkward audio of the week comes from Utah State women's basketball coach Kayla Ard, who stunned everyone by announcing her firing in her own post-game press conference. And the most amazing story of the week as we visualize what it would be like for Aaron Rodgers to be both the Vice President and the quarterback for the NY Jets at the same time!

And as always we close things out with another round of Five Questions - including things we are experts at, our favorite moments in our first car, the happiest people we know, men in thongs and our worst wedding experiences.

#112: Is it the Fish Tanks? Mar 07, 2024

Show notes

With Spring practice upon us, we're joined by David Lake from 24/7 Sports to talk all things Canes as the guys start to hit the field. David is already drinking the Cam Ward Kool-Aid even though they're not in pads yet, he's just excited with the things he's seeing early on. We're even seeing some pop already at wide receiver as we open things up, and everyone remains positive on the involvement of the tight ends this year.

David also takes us into the running back room as they start to work out and get moving, the depth at linebacker with all the changes, and concerns at both the corner and safety positions. And the group agrees that this is the year they need to take a step forward to 9 wins.

Plus some hilarious audio of the week from a Dutch runner that sounds like Mickey Mouse! And as always we close things out with another round of Five Questions - including memberships worth the money, life improvements, celebrity names, our 8th grade selves vs our future selves, and movies that confuse us.

#111: A Laundromat Wedding Feb 29, 2024

Show notes

So how many signing days do we need? We open the show just overloaded with great topics this week, and start off with trying to figure out why we'd need another signing day when one of the two we already have is all but meaningless. But by moving up signing windows, we wonder how long until HS players begin to opt out for signing early.

And the wheel of topics takes over as we bounce around from Pete Weber, to Kenyon Martin, to reflecting on the career of Peter King, who read religiously as sports fans. And the Florida Man games in St. Augustine have us in hysterics!

Of course we have to talk about fans storming the court (or the field) and how it's not in Miami fans' DNA to storm the field which is why you haven't seen Canes fans do it in ages. And we all want to try Taylor Swift's Pop Tarts because we're unsure how good they are.

And as always we close things out with another round of Five Questions - including fictional leaders, things that are cheap but should be expensive, the titles of our current book chapters, CostCo and places we've been kicked out of.

#110: Find Us on Titter Feb 23, 2024

Show notes

Basketball and BBQ start the show this week, as we get into the Canes poor performance on the court and Ro's trip to Kansas City. Toast experimented with the show Scoop recommended, Naked Attraction, and decided to torture the rest of the show with it.

We also fall quickly back into college football as NCAA '25 starts to include more school songs and traditions, now that NIL runs the football world. And we try to figure out how to write off a PS5 as a show expense once the game comes out. Plus the CFP committee has approved the 5-plus-7 playoff format as we debate how Miami will fall in with the new setup.

With the Rock's full turn back to a heel in the WWE, we play back some of the audio of him undressing the crowd. Both Cam and Xavier are getting some national love as the guys continue to have high hopes for Xavier to have another huge season. And the new Fanatics baseball uniforms are practically see-through and the guys can't believe they got this far through production.

And as always we close things out with another round of Five Questions - including things for women invented by men, super powers, what we excel at, our favorite cartoons and things we can do that melt people's minds.

#109: This Ends in a Felony Feb 16, 2024

Show notes

We are barely into the offseason and we're already getting early season rankings that have the Canes anywhere from 12 to 25 - even though we continue to end the season unranked. Even Cam is getting some Heisman buzz before he's even taken a snap in a Miami uniform.

Plus we had some shots fired on Twitter this week between Mario and Brett Bielima, where Mario had a mic drop response after Bielema tried to throw some shade. And of the five Canes that got a Combine invite, we debate which of them we think will show out the most. Sweetheart groups were released also and Miami's big offensive line made the list.

Of course we have to dive into some of the Super Bowl afterglow, and surprisingly all three OBB's really liked the halftime show. And we play back some of the sillier audio from the Nickelodeon broadcast of the game, including Spongebob and Patrick roasting the CMC fumble and Dora the Explorer explaining penalties.

And as always we close things out with another round of Five Questions - including things we are exceptionally bad at, soda and food pairings, and biggest run-ins with Karens.

#108: Jamaicans on Mars Feb 07, 2024

Show notes

As a prime example of how NIL and the portal have rendered Signing Day meaningless, we completely forgot it was upon us when it used to be a national holiday for the OBB's. Scoop also wants to know what's preventing college football from pulling the plug on NIL because of how much it's changed/ruined college football.

While collective bargaining appears to be the best way to a workable solution, we are starting to see programs play with the idea of forming unions as they are deemed university employees. And the "don't be a fan later" narrative surfaces again from a UM recruit and sets the show on its side.

Alonzo Highsmith also set social media ablaze this week with comments about the program going from a "Cat 1 to a 6" - and while everyone wants to drink the Kool-Aid, Scoop remains hesitant... but is looking for a thimble full. And Roman wants to know who the better recruiter is - Mario on the offensive line or Jason Taylor on the defensive line.

Plus we dive into the idea of "enhanced Olympic games" that would allow athletes to compete while as doped as they choose, and the WILD story of the three Kansas City Chiefs fans that froze to death in their buddy's backyard. And we close things out with another classic round of Five Questions - including our thoughts on Chili's, your comfort show, green-flag hobbies for women, what we'd leave on Mars, and things we wasted money on.

#107: It's Not All Great Out There Feb 01, 2024

Show notes

Miami now officially has three 5-star recruits as we roll into the off season, an accomplishment that Toast and Ro are proud of, but still have fears about Mario utilizing them on the field. And Roman wants to know what the common denominator is that keeps big-name game-changing coaches from wanting in on the Miami program.

We're all impressed at how drastically the quarterback room has evolved considering the state of the group going into the off season, and we are left wondering if there will end up being any moves made for wide receiver in the portal. Plus everyone has a high opinion of Jason Taylor's future with the Canes.

We also touch on BC's head coach leaving to become the defensive coordinator for the Packers, and the chaotic state of college football after NIL and the portal. And the train comes off the tracks talking about the Super Bowl and Scoop's favorite new show "Naked Attraction".

And of course we close things down with a rousing round of Five Questions - including one TV show we'd want one more season of, our favorite sensations, restaurants we refuse to eat at, and who we think should be the new James Bond.

#106: Put Nicky in My Mouth Jan 25, 2024

Show notes

We open the show this week by reflecting on Jacurri's podcast appearance this week, where he allegedly explained why he did not suit up this past season and why he chose to clarify things he said even before they hit the media cycle. And with Jim Harbough leaving Michigan for the Los Angeles Chargers, Ro wants to know who will take the bigger step back - Michigan or Alabama?

We get another hilarious check-in from IP Daily, who puts his own spin on the big stories of the week. Plus we go heavy into the 2024 Miami Hurricanes football schedule - with a Week 1 matchup at Florida, a little fear about going to USF in Week 4, and Week 10 vs Manny Diaz and Duke at home.

We're also joined by Adam Lichtenstein, Hurricanes beat reporter for the Sun Sentinel, who talks about covering the Canes as a UF alumni, how high he is on the Canes going into spring, developing relationships with the UM staff and his least favorite coach-speak.

And we wrap the show with 5 Questions - ranging from annoying foreigners, Hank Hill's cause of death, what we defend to our grave, world-ending songs and the worst pizza we've ever had.
