    This week, we say goodbye to Mary and welcome Jen Thompson as the new co-host. We discussed the history of the show and it’s evolution as well as Jen and Kristin’s plan for the future of the show. We end it with some amazingly awesome ways to compliment a lifter that aren’t comments about their appearance.
