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.

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.

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.

This week I open the show trying to out how black holes actually work and quickly realize might just be lying.

Then we get into St. Paddy's Day, a night out that didn't go how expected, and why definitely wouldn't survive in a war right now.

I also talk about One Piece without even knowing if like it, and a guy at work who might be addicted to scrap metal.

Just another episode of me having and seeing where they go.

Some days at work there is so little to do you start inventing tasks just to keep busy. That leads into questions about watching RomComs with my , the annual chaos of NFL free agency, and the strange moment when the excitement dies and teams start signing guys nobody has ever heard of.

Plus I introduce you to my moms cousin Dwayne and explain why I'm not buying the sudden gym rush that happens the first warm day of the year.

NOTE: this was recorded before the Maxx Crosby trade fell through

Lawyers know everything. Henchman need retirement plans. The gym locker room has officially lost all structure.

This week I talk about why lawyers might be carrying the heaviest secrets on earth, the exact age you have to retire from getting punched by Batman, and a gym moment that forced me to internally HR myself.

Also, a shocking twist: I didn't even have to ask for number.

A blizzard rolled through town. The gym needs a code of conduct.

And had to sit behind a man who ordered a dozen donuts in the drive- thru which should be illegal.

Were talking donut policy, corn tortilla fraud, and the moment my cat almost caught on fire.

Welcome to Pat on the Back.

This week I attempt to understand an entire country functions on bicycles.

Also:

-The co-existence of Valentines day and the Olympics

-Being confidently wrong about internet relationships and fan superstition

-And the (but possibly fastest) way to deal with a breakup

At some point this becomes a full investigation into bike-based infrastructure.
