Grossly Competent

In this episode of Grossly Competent, hosts Steve and Patrick use their smoothest broadcaster voices while discussing the topic of Imposter Syndrome. Through personal stories and recollections of dreams that make us believe we didn't actually graduate (and are naked for some reason), they explore the ways Imposter Syndrome can rear it's ugly head and ways to combat the beast.

The boys also talk about a bunch of other stuff, Steve cries laughing, and apologies are delivered to Patrick's parents for him being a full-time member of the Clean Plate Club.

THERE WAS ROOM ON THE DOOR, ROSE! JUST MOVE OVER A SMIDGE!

*Apparently my laptop chose the internal mic rather than my external one. Sorry about that folks, the audio will be much more crisp and beautiful (unlike me) for the next session. Cheers! - Steve*
