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.

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.

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.
