Are you a Thermometer or a Thermostat?

In this episode of Grossly Competent, hosts Steve and Patrick get into a subject that everyone could use a little bit more of in the world today: Emotional Intelligence. Patrick unveils his expertise in this world while Steve actively listens and interrupts accordingly, just as nature intended.

But before then, the boys take the opportunity to plea to the masses for help in being a unified front to take out the most pressing of concerns in the world today: Cold-Messaging Scammers on Social Platforms (that may rhyme with 'Stinked-In').
