#179: Miami ACC Kickoff Preview - Bill and Dan in the Mailroom

It's stories from Roman's cruise, and how Seal's "Kiss From a Rose" got stuck in Toast's head, as we get into this week's show - where everyone is finally back! And crazy enough we are only six weeks away from our first game against Notre Dame, which means Student of the Game is also just around the corner. The common denominator when evaluating Miami in 2025 seems to be consistently coming back to Carson Beck's status and what to expect from him as he starts his Miami career. 

We are also a week out from ACC Media Days in Charlotte and Toast wants to know what position groups the guys are most looking forward to seeing in camp. And Roman asks if we're more concerned about the receivers room or the cornerbacks room. Plus Miami locked up another good receiver through NIL which fired up the haters on spending money again, even though Texas has always been outspending everyone for years. And no one is buying the rumors that Nick Saban is returning to coaching, but if he did it would be hilarious if he went to Cleveland and brough Belichick in to be his DC.

That leads us into some of the amazing audio from Shane Gillis who roasted all of the professional sports world as the host of the ESPYs this year. And Toast thought the coolest thing he saw this week was the Braves tribute to Hank Aaron during the All Star Game, which was an amazing 3D projection right onto the field at Truist Park. And one of the craziest stories of the week surrounds Teddy Bridgewater's suspension from Miami Northwestern for helping his players with meals and transportation, which sparks a large debate about the FHSAA rules and how they are flexing on a public school versus a private school. 

There's also a wild wheel of audio this week - which starts with the biggest viral story of the week as Coldplay caught a cheating CEO on the kiss cam with his HR director, and everyone has some crazy mixed opinions about how this went down. This somehow spins into a debate about whether the Goo Goo Dolls are better than Coldplay, and the worst (and best) bands we've ever seen live... just another one of our random tangents. 

Roman's Five Questions returns, which this week includes things that makes music special, who would take more time off work if both men and women could get pregnant, where you would go if you could travel back in time a year, where you would go with a one-way ticket back in time, who we would haunt if we were ghosts, and what our kryptonite is in life.
