Pat’s Lazy Podcast – Episode 2: The Cart Corral Test: A Measure of Who We Are

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.

Pat’s Lazy Podcast – Episode 1: The Never-Ending Hell of Mobile Game Ads

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.

The Comicpat Podcast #29 Mark Riccadonna

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.

The Comicpat Podcast #28 Davin Rosenblatt

This week Pat sat down with comedian Davin Rosenblatt about his unique mission: wasting scammers’ time, money, and patience by pretending to be naive and spinning elaborate fake personas. From ghost hunters to fake Elon Musk, Davin turns scammer schemes into comedy gold, and awareness tools.   We dug into:   Scammer Combat Strategies: how Davin helps victims (like an Australian woman targeted by a fake U.S. officer) and exposes “pig butchering” crypto scams.   Scam Awareness Tips: caller ID tricks, AI-driven fraud, and the red flags behind too-perfect profiles.   Disarming Blackmail Scams: Davin’s tactic of sending fake explicit images to neutralize extortion attempts, and my own run-in with a blackmailer.   Comedy & Industry Realities: the evolving landscape of “specials,” stagnant pay rates, and the grind of staying fresh while the industry shifts.   Upcoming Projects: Davin’s scripted show Fake Davin, reality series Fake Davin the Fight Back, and his stand-up special Standing Up to Scammers,  all aimed at turning the tables on fraudsters.   Between scam-busting strategies and comedy career truths, this conversation was equal parts eye-opening and hilarious.   Full episode available tomorrow on The Comicpat Podcast. #Comedy #ScamAwareness #Podcast #StandUp #ScammerCombat #comicpat #comicpatpodcast
