On this Valentine's Day, it's important to KISS (or Keep It Simple, Stupid).

In this episode of Grossly Competent, hosts Steve and Patrick provide a nice overview of how important it is to Keep It Simple (KISS) the topic you are discussing when leading others or facilitating groups.

(Don't think for a second the irony is lost on Steve and Patrick telling everyone how to keep things concise and simple for the masses.)

Before that, Patrick shoots for a chance at redemption from his woes of locked bathroom doors and ultimately adds more to the heap of things adults should not do. Steve does his best to keep things PG and not get the episode flagged by the looming censor-monster of Apple Podcasts.

Come for the chat, stay for the laughs, and run from our faces: we're Grossly Competent!
