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.

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.
