TPM Episode 300: Gus Kenworthy, Pro Skier, Actor

This is a story about bravery, feelings, and freedom. It's a do not miss where we touch on his is amazing ski career, when he knew he had a secret, living with that over the years, the plan to come out and so much more. Michael Spencer and "Digi" Dave Amirault ask the Inappropriate Questions.
