Do You Consider Us Friends?

Known for his great advice and mentorship throughout the years, I have the pleasure of talking to Vivake today on the podcast! He's helped me through seasons of life and I'm thankful to have him on as we preview the Cleveland Browns 2023-24 football season and predict their record, talk about my strategy if I were on The Bachelorette, and what it's been like being a girl dad!

Catch up on Vivake's football career moves here!

The first 10 guests were Buckeyes... but guest number 11? He's a Blue Springs South Jaguar. *rawr* Today I had the pleasure of talking to one of my best friends from high school, Quentin! We've been friends for a lot of years! (like, 12 or 13 maybe?) We reminisce on meeting in Spanish class, talk about our time in Newspaper class, and discuss the art of staying creative.

Quentin wrote articles for our high school newspaper, The Jag, like "Is 'Big Brother' watching you?" and "Scholar bowl off to a great start" BUT I found two articles you can actually read thanks to our pals at Archive.gov!

As his favorite groomsman (off the record) I have the pleasure of welcoming CJ to the podcast. We chat about my role as cupid in his marriage, my hatred for one of his favorite restaurants, and the elitism that comes along with playing disc golf.

From "frenemies" to "like a brother" I guess, Hope hops on the pod today to talk about the evolution of our friendship in Colorado, her time as an athletic trainer for the Ohio State football team, and a couple of different rankings (we're talking cities and movies). Also, please ignore the dogs barking as I'm told they don't like being held hostage.
