About this listen

Welcome to Pat on the Back, the show where sports and comedy collide in the best (and most ridiculous) ways possible. Hosted by Pat O'Connor, the guy who's seen just enough games and told just enough jokes to think this was a good idea. Every week Pat dives into the highs, lows, and dumb side of sports. From the biggest names to the biggest unknowns, this show brings you the kind of perspective only slightly above average rec league vet can bring to the table. No stats overloads and no filter, just jokes, stories, and everything else you wont hear on ESPN.Pat O'Connor

    Apr 24 2026

    The King of Providence has arrived.

    This weeks episode brings Providence the leadership it finally deserves. I also break down some relationship/sex-life stories that were generously (unexpectedly) donated to the show. Along with live reactions, riffs and whatever else came to mind during the game.

  • 80% Room Temp | Pat on the Back #46
    Apr 17 2026

    This week on Pat on the Back: I mildly lose it over the Yankees, explain why about 80% of the drinks consume are room temperature, recap the betting challenge set for myself, and make the case that Snake Plisskin might not be as bad ass as everyone says.

    Just another night watching games and talking through whatever comes to mind.

  • Pitching For Balls | Pat on the Back #45
    Apr 10 2026

    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.
