I literally dozed off while editing this podcast. I was listening to a sleep expert recently and he said to optimize sleep and brain function you need to sleep later. I got really mad at that advice because DUH don't you think if we COULD sleep an extra 20 minutes everyday, we WOULD. I talk about that comment and how it stuck in my craw and go over my lack of sleep schedule. I would imagine most p...

It's crazy to think that if Rick Barnes wants to lead his Tennessee team to the Sweet 16 that he's got to beat his old team to get there. I know men are much less emotional than women are but he's got to be feeling some sort of way right? Maybe my pettiness is just projecting onto the situation.  I'll be pulling hard for the Vols tomorrow night! Good Luck to Tennessee and Rick Barnes! Subscribe to...
