Ep. 206 “Podcast After Dark”
Patrick and Ross fire up the mics late at night for a looser, spicier edition of the pod. They riff on everything from their daughter’s new kindergarten routines (homework packets already?!) to class, fashion, and political hypocrisy. The conversation veers into ADHD, social media overload, MAGA neighbors, and how billionaires bunker down while the rest of us just try to live.<br /> Ross spills insider fashion-world tea (Alexander Wang, Dolce & Gabbana, and Kristen Chenoweth catching strays), while Patrick recalls the moment he realized in fourth grade that his sneakers weren’t cool enough — a childhood origin story for his comedy instincts.<br /> Amid the chaos, there are sweet moments too: gratitude for family cuddles, their daughter’s love of home, and Ross’s reflections on the value of her caregiving work. Expect tangents, rants, laughs, and that classic “after dark” energy.<br /> Upcoming: Patrick performs at The Stress Factory in NJ this weekend, opening for Ian Fidance.<br /> Follow Patrick and Ross on socials: <a class="decorated-link" href="https://www.instagram.com/itspatrickholbert" target="_new" rel="noopener" data-start="106" data-end="171">@itspatrickholbert</a> & <a class="decorated-link" href="https://www.instagram.com/itsrosserinmartineau" target="_new" rel="noopener" data-start="174" data-end="245">@itsrosserinmartineau</a> — and check out Patrick’s site <a class="decorated-link cursor-pointer" target="_new" rel="noopener" data-start="277" data-end="324">patrickholbert.com</a>

He’s back at meetings, revisiting Raymond Chandler novels, and even carrying a “magical crystal” to stay grounded.<br /> Rounding things out, Patrick shares film takes: Friendship, Sicario, and a defense of Reptile — where he enjoyed Justin Timberlake playing against type.<br /> Follow Patrick at @itspatrickholbert, check out dates and content at <a class="decorated-link" href="http://www.patrickholbert.com/" target="_new" rel="noopener" data-start="1392" data-end="1414">www.patrickholbert.com</a>, and don’t miss the Patreon for bonus comedy and yoga extras.

Ep. 204 “Delusional” LIMITED EPISODE
On We Hired a Sitter For This, Ross Erin Martineau (doula) and Patrick Holbert (comedian/dad) dig into financial anxiety, summer camp costs, and why Patrick wrote “Vision without solvency is delusion” in his morning pages.
