Everything Except the Football... unless we talk football, that is (that's what the asterisk is there for)! My name is Patrick, and either solo or with a guest, I'll be talking about music, movies, sports or other topics like travel, or even life in general. Expect an easygoing conversation with some laughs. Glad to have you onboard, and hopefully you'll stay along for the ride!
