Welcome to Pat’s Lazy Podcast (Pat reads his Substack, so you don’t have to)

This week, we tackle one of society’s greatest moral questions:

Do you return your shopping cart?

Because apparently some people believe leaving a cart in the middle of a parking lot is perfectly acceptable behavior.

Pat has thoughts.

Including a Target story involving two suspicious guys, trench coats in 88-degree weather, felony-level bad decisions… and one detail that somehow made the whole thing even worse.

Turns out even criminals have standards.

Some of you should think about that.

Also, in keeping with the title, Pat did not write this description.

He made his AI do it.

Honestly, that feels correct.

Welcome to Pat’s Lazy Podcast (Pat reads his Substack, so you don’t have to)

This week, we tackle one of the greatest modern tragedies:

mobile game ads.

You know the ones.

You watch the same ad three times just to earn fake coins, rescue a cartoon king with the survival instincts of a drunk squirrel, and somehow become financially responsible for a freezing woman living in a shack with a broken stove.

Pat breaks down the endless ad loop from hell, fake little “X” buttons, manipulative countdown clocks, the Royal Match king’s ongoing death wish, and those bizarre games that feel less like entertainment and more like a CPS investigation.

Because sometimes you just want your fake coins without needing therapy afterward.

Also, in keeping with the title, Pat did not write this description.

He made his AI do it.

Honestly, that feels correct.

This week on The Comicpat Podcast I caught up with my friend Mark Riccadonna, and we covered everything: the road gigs, NYC hustle, cruise‑ship life, authenticity in stand-up comedy, aging in the business, wrestling‑level wear‑and‑tear, haunted film shoots, and why being likable in a comedy club might matter more than being funny.

We even got into the popularity of crowd work, corporate gig weirdness, and the movies that make comics question their life choices.

If you love behind‑the‑curtain comedy talk, the real stuff, not the Instagram‑version, then this one’s for you. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
