| 0:23.5 | We are here to, we're back, basically, after taking the biweek off, resting up, |
| 0:31.0 | taking some time away from the podcast, we're back. |
| 0:33.7 | It's FSU week, always one of the best weeks of the year. |
| 0:40.5 | This game has maybe a little less juice after Florida State fell to Virginia on Friday night. We'll share some thoughts, |
| 0:47.3 | you know, early first impressions on Florida State here at the start of the week later in the |
| 0:51.0 | podcast. At the start of the podcast here, I want to highlight, |
