#Patchats is back! and this week I'm joined by comedian Sid Singh. In this episode we talk about Sid's comedy journey starting in San Diego, moving to New York, and how he eventually ended up in London. We also discuss the comedy scene in the US versus in Europe, writing process, and what it means to be successful in comedy.

This week I'm joined by Irish comedian Shannon Basso Gaule. Shannon and I met doing shows in Barcelona and reconnected when he came to do shows in Berlin. In this chat we talk about drinking culture, going sober, Shannon's early comedy exposure, and his first time going on stage. We also share some stories of bad shows, bad drug experiences, and the time Shannons dad sicced a hive of bee's on him.

In this weeks chat we talk about the greatest baseball player of all time....BARRY BONDS. It's a podcast that might not be for everyone, but for the few that know and understand the greatness of Bonds and the way he has been shafted by the baseball hall of fame this is the podcast for you. I talk about Bond's family history in baseball, how his story intertwines with mine, the joy of baseball as a kid, baseball writers, steroids, and I make my case why Barry has and always will be a true hall of famer. It's not probable but if you liked this episode PLEASE share it with a friend.

This week I'm joined by the lovely and hilarious Sofia May for a fun and riff filled conversation. In between me talking over her and making inappropriate and silly jokes Sofia shares her painful and fascinating story. She talks about living in the middle east, the passing of her father, and how all of these elements lead her to her stalker. In addition we also talked briefly about her experience starting comedy.

Patchats is back with a two part podcasting extravaganza! The Jobscast!! I go through my employment history from raking leaves for my parents to cleaning dorms at my college. In this episode I go so in depth on my resume that I only made it through the end of college and then realised I needed to make this a two parter. I talk about my start in manual labor, selling running shoes, being my high school's pa announcer, and bagging groceries. It's a fun trip down employment memory lane.
