Episode 31: Who is Steph Laff(e)y? w/ Steph Laffy 2
In this episode, Jay and Steph are joined by... another introvert named Steph Laffy.
And no - it's not the Steph Laffey you hear on this podcast every week.
It's a SECOND Steph Laffy, from Canada.
All we can tell you, is... this episode was equal parts hilarious & fascinating as we unpack the biggest question of all: "Who IS Steph Laff(e)y?".
It's a tough question; but after 4 years of trying to answer it herself, co-host Steph figured: "who better to help me answer this, than another Steph Laffy?
Are you confused yet? Good. Go listen, rate, and review.
And if you happen to have a Jay Coleman in your life - please connect us. We want to figure out who Jay Coleman is, and we cannot do it with just one :P
