Back to Episodes#470: Diabolical Women & 5 Questions | OBB Benched | Scoop in Suspense
Description
Instead of preseason accolades, culture changes and QB controversies... we're talking about choke jobs, foreigners and diabolical Florida women. Welcome to OBB Benched!
The episode kicks off with a proper argument for the greatest choke job in professional sports history — and no, it's not the 2016 Warriors (although somebody does bring up the 2004 Yankees). The San Antonio Spurs led for 72% of the NBA Finals, blew double-digit leads in all four losses, and somehow handed the New York Knicks their first championship in decades. Wembanyama takes some heat too — though the guys are pretty clear he's gonna be a problem for a long time.
Then things take a turn toward the World Cup and all the foreigners who've been stumbling into Buc-ee's for the first time. There's a French guy's review that is genuinely one of the funnier things you'll hear this week. That leads to a full Buc-ee's CEO guessing game and then an actual ranked breakdown of which states have the most Waffle Houses (Georgia is not even close, by the way — 433 to Florida's 185).
The story of the week, though? A Florida woman who spent six months sneaking into her ex's apartment once a week — not to steal anything, just to move his furniture a few inches at a time. The man scheduled an eye exam, a neurological consultation, and a full home inspection. She just wanted him to feel the confusion she felt when he left her. Diabolical. Brilliant. Florida.
Roman rounds it out with five questions: worst James Bond casting choice (Joanne Bond from the HOA gets floated), the widow maker in your career or hobby, movie quotes 90% of people actually know, the biggest design flaw in the human body, and unusual reasons you wouldn't date someone. Fran Drescher laughs and man hands both come up.
Oh, and the boys spend the last few minutes cooking up a plan to trick Scoop into listening to an episode he'd normally ignore. The mission: name it something that personally confuses him enough that he has to tune in. We'll see if it works next week.
Roddenberry's Ghost Balls. Go Canes.
