#484: Snake in the Helmet & 5 Questions | OBB Benched | You Drain It First

With only two shows to go before we give way to the Recap Shooooow... instead of rankings, hype or payrolls, we're talking about off-color jokes, impalements, snakes in your helmet, and machetes versus hatchets in the Publix parking lot... welcome to OBB Benched!

Only two Benched episodes left before the real season takes over, and this one runs the gamut. Pat McAfee gets dragged for his Hall of Fame induction speech (and has to go apologize for it on Dan Patrick), a high school football player in Arkansas finds out the hard way that a cottonmouth snake had been living in his helmet for an hour, and a road rage incident in a Publix parking lot escalates into a genuine machete-versus-hatchet standoff. Naturally, the guys have opinions on who won.

In between: the ongoing debate over the Food Gospel of Scoop (this week's entry involves canned tuna, boxed mac and cheese, and a very specific draining technique), a long detour into whether any snake can actually be a good pet, and the usual Five Questions round covering the best cheese for a grilled cheese, the phrase that's stuck with you for years, the sound that instantly spikes your heart rate, first kiss stories, and which sport actually produces the best all-around athlete.

Orange Bowl Boys drops weekly, with OBB Benched as the companion show for everything that doesn't fit the main feed. Two more Benched episodes before kickoff — subscribe so you don't miss the season preview.

OBB Benched is the offseason, off-topic companion show to Orange Bowl Boys, where no subject is off-limits and nothing is safe.
