Evan Hopkins -- AKA "Shmev"
What’s up everyone, My name is Evan, but my friends call me Shmev. I am 22 years old and I am a recent graduate at The University of Tennessee where I completed my Sports Management Degree. Some key things to know about me is number one I am a sports geek you could say, hence the sports management major. I am also a coffee fanatic, I basically survive on it. My goal for this podcast is to have some fun with my friends, but also to reach as many people as possible to make at least somewhat of an impact on them. We hope that you will support us and share us with other people to help us reach our goal.
Presley Parker
Hey everyone. My name is Presley, but my friends call me Pretzel, Parsley, Pringle, and often times Preston out of ignorance. I am 24 years old and am currently working for the City of Franklin here in Tennessee. Big music guy, I play the saxophone 🎷. Big coffee guy, my favorite drink is a vanilla latte. As far as the podcast goes, I’m just having fun with my friends and hope we can bring you some entertainment from our wild conversations.
Layton Parker
Hey y'all! I'm Layton, but my friends call me Laytawn. I'm 19 years old, and I have played the drums 🥁 since I was 10. I just graduated college studying Information Technology. I am the editor for the podcast and have also been working with the audio and TikTok. I look forward to putting out more content for everyone to enjoy!
Evan Wise
Hey everyone, my name is Evan. I’m a graduate from MTSU (business) and now work in the Nashville area. I’m originally from Northern California, but I’ve lived here about 10 years now. One thing about me is I love traveling! I’ve been to 45 of the 50 states as well as Canada, Mexico, and Ireland. Of course I’m into video games, sports, and other things most guys are into. Spending time with family and friends is extremely important to me and is how I spend a lot of my free time. When it comes to the podcast I’m just having a fun time talking and joking with friends. It’s great seeing the podcast grow, and to all who listen in, thank you for supporting us and we’re happy you can listen to our crazy conversations.

I play 5(ish) instruments and have a big passion for music. I also love to play video games with my buddies and would describe myself as Chandler from friends. 😂
