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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We open with the biggest news of the week as the University of Miami has parted ways with defensive coordinator Lance Guidry. Everyone immediately starts throwing candidates into the conversation, even though Roman believes they are close to a new hire already. And with the portal firing on all cylinders, that might be Miami's only saving grace as they make such a huge change on defense.

The debate continues to rage about next season's record if the Canes are unable to secure a top quarterback in the portal, and how the fanbase will continue to spiral after Miami wasted such a special offense this season. And with the defense coming in at 68th in scoring defense, you can see how much better the Playoff teams were then the Canes. We also discuss what it will take to see Mario in the hot seat in the coming seasons if the team continues to underperform, and he continues to miss on coordinators.

Cam Ward sitting out the second half comes up once again, because the fanbase has bigger expectations to win these Bowl games, while the coaching staff seems to be indifferent on winning the game. And we do our best to make sense of the transfer portal dates as things come down to the wire. The Wheel of Audio takes over with Dillon Gabriel's stoner response to a reporter's question, Shane Beamer versus Brett Bielema, and the hilarious clips of Whitney Cummings roasting CNN while live on CNN.

And of course we close it out with Five Questions, which include reactions to test results, the things our parents do that annoy us, things everyone looks stupid doing, how we'd rob a bank, and what shows ending left you most betrayed.

It's IMMEDIATE reaction to the Canes blowing a late lead and losing the Pop Tarts Bowl 42-41 vs Iowa State - as we record the show during our live stream immediately following the final whistle.

Roman joins the show and has to answer the question of the fourth quarter... If the Canes are losing late and you need a game-winning drive, do you put Cam Ward back in for the end of the game? Everyone crushed Jenners for putting it out there during the game, but Roman agrees that Cam should have been handed that final drive.

We also take everyone's temperature about Emory Williams as QB1 going into next season, and the guys are all in agreement that after this performance you need to go out and find a portal quarterback. Even though there aren't many left this late in the portal window. So what will the Canes do going into next season at QB1?

Instead of answering that question week-after-week, we will pivot a bit this offseason and offer up some of the most fun we can think of with celebrity hang-out sessions, starting with the legend Corey Feldman the first week of January!!

We open the show with some hilarious talk about Roman's new 3-Bugle fireman's hat, which launches us into a hilarious round of "hat talk" that somehow culminates in a full Santa Scoop outfit. We also get down to Greentree as we watch the Washington State portal QB John Mateer choose Oklahoma over Miami, which we can't really figure out with Oklahoma's offensive line. So we now debate about if we're good to ride with Emory Williams now that the biggest portal QB has passed.

The debate continues to rage about Lance Guidry's defense and whether or not Emory can succeed with a sub-par defense, and how Miami will fare if both of those elements remain in place for the coming season. And how a good season has set some unrealistic expectations for next season and how a possible 8-4 season should be viewed in the context of year 4 of Mario's era in Coral Gables.

The conversation turns to Isiah Horton hitting the portal and leaving Miami, and how the fanbase seems to be upset as he was likely only the #3 receiver on the team, even though they went out and got CJ Daniels from LSU in the portal. Plus we try to figure out what's wrong with the portal dates, and how they ultimately shouldn't open until after the Playoffs, because education has become so secondary to college athletics in the new NIL and transfer era.

Plus we go around the Wheel of Topics, ranging from the ridiculousness of the Pop Tarts Bowl toaster trophy, Biden commuting Nevin Shapiro's sentence even though he ran away with so many people's money, Cam Ward finishing 4th in the Heisman voting behind winner Travis Hunter, and the following conversation about the status of Travis's relationship after everything that bubbled up with his girl online. And we get some amazing audio of the week from Panthers WR Xavier Legette who ate Raccoon for Thanksgiving and Louisville head coach Pat Kelsey.

Plus we do College Football Playoff picks, and a wild round of Five Questions... which includes evil and twisted children, the subtle things we recognize about being a good person, alternative body fluids, our pee sector, how we feel about the lie of Santa, and uncommon things about our homes.

We open the show with talk of Roman's new roaster, and how everyone on the show has a different approach to cooking that style of food... Toast loves it, while Scoop says he'll never remember to start it on time. And of course, that somehow launches the debate about whether or not Cam Ward will, or should, play in the Pop Tarts Bowl while Miami has nothing on the line. Everyone falls in on different sides of the conversation, from selfish fans to what players "owe" the team at the end of a largely successful season.

Also we get into what Miami needs to address in the portal, and obviously any and all additions at defensive back and secondary are an immediate improvement. Plus we're excited to see how Mario's recruiting prowess affects the guys that might otherwise be thinking about the NFL instead of another year in college. And we take a look at the Top NIL collectives in the ACC, and while Clemson we expected, we were shocked to find out who number two was!

Plus a quick look up and down the roster as the portal kicks into high gear starts to spell out who we think we'll have back, and areas we know we'll need to go in a little heavier. Bill Belichick is also now the new head coach at the University of North Carolina, joining the ACC with a lot of unanswered questions, and we think we only see him one time because there is no way he's there for more than a couple of years.

Our favorite stories of the week come from Mar-a-Lago, as Don Jr's ex-fiance gets assigned to become the ambassador to Greece in order to get her out of the country... Kirby Smart calling out SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey on stage after the SEC Championship... and Kenny Smith bringing up Jay-Z on Inside the NBA with Barkley hilariously shuts down. And it's the RETURN of Five Questions!

In an effort to avoid talking about the fallout from the Canes missing the College Football Playoff, we decide to open with National Signing Day and the Canes coming in with the 14th best class in the nation. And with Mario pulling the top class in the ACC, it still feels like his class suffered from the team being left out of the Playoff. 

Toast also expresses his disappointment in the fan base's reaction to the Canes missing the playoff and not celebrating an impressive 10-2 season. Roman though feels like everyone is upset because you were so close, largely because the system is rigged, and they argue heavily about the "strength of schedule" argument. Scoop says while both guys have a point, it's ultimately on the ACC because they don't stand up to the SEC, the Playoff committee or the media.

And will SMU REALLY be left out if Clemson wins this weekend? It's another example of the ACC refusing to speak up on behalf of the conference. Plus the AI OBB's check in with all the scenarios that would have to unfold in order for the Canes to make the College Football Playoff! Also our friend IP Daley checks in to eviscerate the College Playoff committee like only he can!!

Emory Williams also becomes the point of focus as we start to look forward to a future without Cam Ward, and whether or not he gets a fair shake at quarterback or if you're going to try and snipe another top QB1 in the portal ahead of him. We also discuss the Sebastian hitting on a Syracuse reporter story, debate the merits of flag-planting during rivalry week, Jameis Winston praying to be delivered from pick sixes, Rob Manfred's insane pitch for the "Golden At-Bat" rule, and one of our last rounds of Pick 'Ems for Championship Weekend.
