    Thank you for flipping to the B Side!
    On this episode:
    Since the Coronavirus has us all quarantined, practicing good hygiene and social distancing, I recorded an episode, over the phone, with good friend and fellow lover of TV Shows, Shawn Goff. We discuss our recent trip to Oxford, MS for a wedding right as the Coronavirus was gaining steam and do a view reviews of TV Shows we have watched during our quarantine. Shawn and I have been friends for fifteen years and counting. She is a former Ole Miss Women's Basketball player. She was at Ole Miss from 2005-2009. She was a vital part of the 2007 team that made a run all the way to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. She is all-time leader in Blocked Shots at Ole Miss with 208. She is also one of the very few to record over 1,000 points, 700 rebounds and 200 blocked shots for a career. After her college ball days ended in 2009, Shawn went overseas to play multiple seasons in Sweden and Poland and she has since a mother to Kingston in 2012 and over the last few years, she has joined the coaching ranks. Sit back and enjoy as we try to bring a little humor and peace to an otherwise stressful and wild situation our country finds itself in!
