The boys are energized on this podcast. Of course, they talk socks. But they also talk about Mom’s birthday, Special Olympics, giving interviews, working with John’s brother, John becoming an uncle and so much more. We got socks, we got podcasts, we got the Special Olympics, we’ve got lots of fun and, did we say we have socks? The boys have lots to share. They re-introduce themselves and then turn serious talking about human dignity and people with differing abilities.

They share a feel-good story of the week and highlight a business owned by a person with a differing ability. This week they shine the spotlight on the Texas Sweet Heat Jam Company led by Nolan Stillwell and his family, Like John, Nolan is an entrepreneur who happens to have Down syndrome.
