0:00.0	Welcome to On The Bench. I'm your host for this episode, Brendan Sonone, joined by my
0:22.0	normal cast and crew of OTB, Chris Nie, Zach Blosting, gentlemen, hello, happy May to
0:27.5	you. Happy almost May the fourth be with you. No, look at you nerding out. It's my birthday
0:33.7	month. Oh, dude, don't say that. It's my birth month. Just, no, it wasn't it wasn't birth
0:40.2	or birthday. It was like, I can't stand grown-ups who have a birthday week. And then let's
0:45.0	celebrate my whole month. Oh, my God. That's ridiculous. No, but I do agree. People that
0:50.4	celebrate an entire week for the birthday are crazy. Newberg. What? Actually? Oh, he would let us know

1:45.0	with the transfer portal, not the windows closed, who's in there, what are your needs, etc.
1:49.6	All that stuff. Since we last talked, the big addition into the transfer portal from Florida
1:55.0	state's perspective, I guess departure is why to see for Mike Epitman, he was a starter in the
2:00.0	slot last year, also starting returner. So in general, a fairly big deal. And he's one of
2:06.0	nine players from the roster to go ahead and leave this spring. Chris, I just general thoughts,
2:11.6	like what FSU ended up losing, portal is closed, the dust is settled. I guess what stands out
