Pat and the Fat Man
You've heard us ramble on about movies, sports, and other stuff. You've laughed hysterically at our jokes and accidentally spilled coffee all over yourself while driving because of that. You've thought to yourself "Man the Browns/Cowboys are being the Browns/Cowboys again and these guys totally nailed their analysis of that fact". You've shared our podcast as far and as wide as is humanly possible through social media....where was I going with this...oh right....
But who are they, and more importantly who is responsible for putting the podcast together in a manner that is listenable?
Patrick Mason
The Pat
Born in Dallas, Texas in January of 1983. Grew up in Palm Bay, FL. His heart, along with the rest of his body, is in Texas. Something of an omni-nerd getting a little involved in every aspect of nerddom but not falling headlong into anyone in particular. Loves movies, music, reading, learning, and being Catholic. Big fan of Texas A&M Athletics and the Dallas sports teams: Rangers, Cowboys, Stars, Mavericks, FC Dallas, the Rough Riders, etc, etc.
Patrick is a professional engineer, but right now he plans outages for a power company. Helping to keep the lights on has always been one of his passions.
Pat met Bruce in highschool in Palm Bay, FL. In highschool they began a lifelong friendship that Pat used to convince Bruce to move to Aggieland and become an A&M fan. Poor Bruce.
After a whirlwind tour of the South, Pat now lives in Dallas with his wife of ten years, two wonderful children, dogs, and birds.
