About this listen

 Welcome to Pat on the Back, the show where sports and comedy collide in the best (and most ridiculous) ways possible. Hosted by Pat O'Connor, the guy who's seen just enough games and told just enough jokes to think this was a good idea. Every week Pat dives into the highs, lows, and dumb side of sports. From the biggest names to the biggest unknowns, this show brings you the kind of perspective only slightly above average rec league vet can bring to the table. No stats overloads and no filter, just jokes, stories, and everything else you wont hear on ESPN.Pat O'Connor

    Pitching For Balls | Pat on the Back #45
    Apr 10 2026

    Episode 45 is a new experiment for Pat on the Back; just me, a game, and whatever thoughts come up in real time.

    Reactions, bets, chaos and random stories all collide as try a looser, more "hangout" style of recording. No structure, no pressure, just talking through the game like youre on the couch me.

    Pitching for balls and figuring it out as we go.

    Crop-Dusted by a Pre-Teen | Pat on the Back #44
    Apr 3 2026

    This week I talk about how finally figured out what makes watching baseball at actually bearable, a very no knowledge Final Four preview, my gripes with Silent Hill 2 (despite actually really liking the game), and its looking like the 61 cent challenge is not going very well so far.

    Also, I'm a little sick so this episode is done entirely with cough drops changing the way talk.

    People Don't Know How to Drive| Pat on the Back #43
    Mar 27 2026

    This week I get into some of the things other drivers do that make absolutely no sense, including people who treat a green light like its optional.

    From there I talk about getting back into sports betting season and how quickly things can spiral once youre locked in.

    Just another episode of me trying to make sense of things that probably don't make sense.
