Jay McCowan leads conspicuous underperformers Billy and Brad on a self-help journey to calibrate our behaviors with our competitive or social goals in mind. Using his experiences from the decidedly un-chill RCQ mosh pit, Jay has a message for the salties, the sweaties, and the stinkers on how to stay chill, or how to recognize when you don't deserve to.
