Another work update: LIHEAP payments are also on hold until the federal government shutdown ends. So people who would qualify to receive assistance to pay their heating bills cannot receive it, but the president can have part of The White House destroyed to build a ballroom. (1/2)

I'm a bit later than usual waiting for the subway (final leg of my commute). I started to worry about getting to work late, then immediately realized that I don't give a shit. Good morning, hot people who live in my phone! ❤️

Episode 553 is up! Pat answers a listener question about why everyone needs their music to be so loud before The Captain gives his first Flyers Update of the new season. Woooo! Link in comments! Crap open a cold one!

FYI since we got this news at work today:

I consider myself a generally intelligent person, but I am for sure not smart enough for this many people to be so much dumber than I am.

Two Patreon bonuses planned for as soon as I have time to record them. This is at least some progress for the people who pay me.

I put the icy hot patch too low on my back. Dammit.

I watched three Bourne movies and four episodes of Gilmore girls during work at the office last week. I'm only working three days next week, but I still think I can do better.

Episode 552 is up! Pat answers a listener email about moving to a small town, then rambles on agreeing for the common good. Woooo! Link in comments! Crap open a cold one!

At least if the Phillies lose tonight, they can't stress me the fuck out anymore this Fall. Christ.

Caught all of my connections so now I'm at my office 20 minutes before the employee entrance opens. AMA?

Phillies have lacked "it" all year, I've said that many times. They did put enough together to win the division again, but this is the fourth postseason in a row of bats just going COLD all at once. Super frustrating.

My in-office rotation starts today. So for the next 4 weeks, I'll be going to and from the office to do the same exact job I have done at home since April 2020. Gross.

Also my smokin hot wife just came back from dropping off the rent and brought back BK milkshakes and little Cinnabon jawns. Hell yeah!

Relatable meme (not made by me)

Is he fucking dead yet?

Episode 551 is up! Pat plays new music from Wave Break (4:36), then rambles on too many ads (8:41), poor customer service (26:28), MLB playoffs (37:52), and more. Woooo! Link in comments! Crap open a cold one!

Once again, no matter what happens, always remember that one truth prevails: LOLMETS

The Boy asked me to read a bunch of books to him. He just fell asleep after we read The Sneetches and Other Stories (the same book my mom used to read to me).

If you can listen to Ttump speak and think "yeah, he's got it all figured out" you're just as simple as he needs you to be.

Reading an article about schools using AI to teach kids to read. Interesting note: 1 of 4 students in Denver speak Spanish at home. I learned a thing.

Please RSVP to the launch of my lifestyle brand, Wyde Lode. We will be givin' away Wyde Lode gravy boats and Wyde Lode gel insoles. God bless.

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

Episode 549 is up! Pat rambles on a kid-free weekend, The Final Boy premiere, the 9/9/9 challenge, and a decade of the podcast. Woooo! Link in comments! Crap open a cold one!

The mrs is going to record the Halloween episode of the show for me this year on Monday, so she wants to know: What's your favorite part of Halloween?

Ten years ago (10!) today, the podcast premiered. I had no idea how to do a podcast, or if I would still be doing it in one year, let alone ten. But this show has grown more than I ever thought it could and I am so grateful to everyone who has helped make this wonderful little community ❤️

He's such a fucking loser

Hold up: The Vice President of the United States. Hosted an episode of CK's podcast. At the White House. What the fuck are we doing here? The dude should not have been murdered, but let's quit pretending he was a good person who deserves anywhere close to this kind of reverence.

Brian Kilmeade on Fox News advocated for killing homeless people. He still has his job. Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about CK's shooter being MAGA. His show got suspended. I hate this.

Do guys with names like Jeff & Geoff and Shawn & Sean and Brian & Bryan resent each other for how "the other name" is spelled? Like, does a Shawn look down on a Sean?

People who "love dark humor" when the joke is about CK or DJT instead of women or minorities.

My buddy and I tried the 9/9/9 challenge at my house today during the Phillies game. He completed it. I did 6 dogs and 9 beers. It is more difficult than I expected!

Episode 548 is up! Pat plays new music from DØUBLE IDENTITY (3:54), then shares a listener HR story (8:58), before rambling on high school mascots (15:47), social media videos, (27:37), and home run balls (38:41). Woooo! Link in comments! Crap open a cold one!

Ok smart guys how would YOU have sent a wink wink pedo birthday message to Jeffrey Epstein then

Been married to my smokin hot wife for 13 years. Hell yeah, she's the best.

I want to know how old the person who made this list is.

I don't think BlueSky has a long post attachment like Threads does, so I'll post the (free) Patreon link here. I had a dream about being on a TV show and having to answer questions about two new employees (played by Billy Gardell and Shane Kippel). www.patreon.com/posts/138338...

Episode 547 is up! Pat plays music from Secret Gardens (3:45) before reading fan mail on public proposals (10:41) and getting called to HR (21:21). Woooo! Link in comments! Crap open a cold one!

I have had more people write in with show questions and topics this year than any other. I love it (and not just because it means I don't have to think of topics on my own). Thank you so much - click the link below to submit your own thing!

Oklahoma has a test for teachers coming from New York and California so they aren't too woke or some shit. You can take it here, but I already did and will share the questions below. www.prageru.com/teacher-qual...

The collective sigh of relief after it happens will be immense.

Episode 546 is up! Pat plays new music from here/now (4:30), then rambles on boring buildings (10:38) and grandma showers (20:49). Woooo! Link in comments! Crap open a cold one!

I wish I had the money to subscribe to all of your Patreon and Substack pages and whatnot. I always feel bad when I have to cancel a membership.

Seeing clips of Ttump's cabinet meetings is just sad. A room full of adults fawning over a fucking idiot.

13-year-old me would not believe that current me has been doing radio things since 2008. Sometimes, even current me can't believe it.

Episode 545 is up! Pat plays new music from Hana Kahn (5:38), then rambles on doctor visits (12:52), baseball on Roku (22:28), and people being obtuse on Facebook (29:49). Woooo! Link in comments! Crap open a cold one!
