This is great! I love their deep Southern accents.
I'm a new listener to Sweaty and Pissed! Really enjoying it! I hope you're still commenting on your audience's questions. I am trying to find a bioidentical hormone therapist in the Knox/Blount area. I had hoped to get an appointment with Karen but unfortunately cannot. Any suggestions of "good" therapists in this area would be very helpful!
I love your pods!
Leeanne, I feel the exact same way about "This us Us" and Kevin!!
