This Podcast Will Change Your Life, Episode Fifty - Goat Boy, starring Patrick Wensink (and Megan).

Our most Wentastic Fiftieth Episode stars Patrick Wensink, yes that Patrick Wensink, he of the international media and bestselling novel Jack Daniels cease and desist viral stardom. It also stars special guest Megan. Sadly, it does not star Patrick's once awesome facial hair. That said, we are still quite thrilled to share this most Wensinkian of conversations with you, and we are fairly confident that it just might change your life, at least a little, maybe.

Big thanks to Brandon Hobson and the whole elimae crew for running with this. Excerpt maybe? Word.

"Do not scream yo, do not, which is hard. Do not be physical either yo, which is less hard. Still, he is making a scene, and action of some kind must be taken, and so you count to three and you focus on being patient.
 How did you get here? What could you have done differently? When does it end?
