Patrick continues down the path of watching Gretchyn Boshart absolutely crush her headlining gig in Florida. Jkjk it’s some of the most poorly-filmed unwatchable garbage ever.

Patrick dives in to the latest microagression on his ears that is Unbothered. Thai Rivera hastily recounts the events of last weekend where he was allegedly assaulted by another member of the comedy community. But is everything as it seems? Is Thai really the victim he wants you to think he is? He is claiming that the attack was racially motivated, but also that it stems from hurt feelings over a Facebook blocking.
