113 - How do we Define Each Other?
Two Disabled Dudes
In the opening episode of Season 4, Sean and Kyle admit to being a little lazy lately and then commit to getting back on the wagon. That's the power of accountability! And it's the power of their commitment to their listeners - one insightful episode per week for the next 4 months!
