John and Mark from John’s Crazy Socks are continuing to spread happiness. Here's what’s on their minds tonight: John working on his book, “Down Syndrome Never Holds Me Back,” and how that has led to starting a new publishing company, Paumonok Harbor House. Getting ready for a trip to Ripon College in Wisconsin with Mark’s long ago memories of when he first visited Ripon College, fantasy football victories and trash talk, more Friends episodes travel as they recount some of their adventures and misadventures on the road, meeting with elected officials to advocate for the rights of people with differing abilities, sock seasons and whatever else might pop into John’s mind.
