Smiley and Courtney chop it up in this episode, as they discuss the Florida State Spring Game, the NFL Draft and share stories about their transitions from college into the real world. The hosts even learn a few things about each other that they never knew! 

 

A huge shout out to all of our listeners who have been waiting patiently for this week's episode. We explain all the mishaps leading to the delay in the episode... Essentially it comes down to travel, shoddy WiFi and dysfunctional refrigerators. 

 

In the episode, we mention this video with Jalen Ramsey and Derwin James at Florida State - make sure you check out the section about 'Mom and Pops' Hot Dog Stand!
