Hey, what's going on, everybody? I want to welcome you all to a new addition of the agents

of inclusion podcast. My name is JR of the JR Sport Reef Show on CBS Sports Radio, and

today we have two absolutely amazing guests. We're going to be introduced to Caitlin Dykes,

Caitlin and David, I gotta admit, they're braver than I am. We're going to learn more about the

Let's not waste any more time. Let's go ahead and learn about the polar plunge,
