Oh hey! I'm Pat. I like baseball, video games, & rasslin.

I host a podcast called The Melting Pat. I hosted 4 radio shows years ago (sports, music, rasslin, & general talk/culture) & mashed them together. New episode every Saturday!

I have a smokin hot wife & we have a handsome melting bebe. Sup?
Maybe like 22 people listen to my show every week and that is insane. A classroom of people take time to hear to me yell about stuff from my house. Absolutely wild.

And I 🪙 love each one of them 🥰

Gonna be late for work today because every mode of transportation I use was delayed.

This would not be an issue if I could still work from home full-time.

I saw some comments on a Rise Against post saying "I'm out, you're on the wrong side" and shit like that. (They're doing a concert with Tom Morello in Minnesota on Friday.)

I'm not jumping in to ask but I need to wonder aloud:

What, exactly, did these people think the band was rising against?

People who claim to want small government sure are quiet about the government doing heinous, overreaching shit every damn day.

More fucking water in my home office so I have to relocate to the main part of the basement again. Annoyed.

This thread is wild. The president is in awful shape and is, naturally, being an absolute pineapple about it.
Oh my goodness, this Wall Street Journal piece about Trump's ailing health that includes an interview with him (gift link). There are a number of ridiculous details in it and I'll put a few of them in this thread. (1/6)
Exclusive | As Signs of Aging Emerge, Trump Responds With Defiance
In an interview, President Trump—the oldest man to assume the office—said he has eschewed some advice from his doctors and regrets getting advanced imaging.
